Intoxicating.
That was the only way you’d describe him. The only word that ever did him justice. He was the human embodiment of an Antakarian Fire Dancer. You got hammered on it one year after two glasses of the amber liquid, proceeding to forget half the night yet eager for more. Nothing could describe the man before you better. It simply wouldn’t do him justice. He was the itch beneath your skin that you could never satisfy, the reason you stood there now.
A glass of that amber liquid in both hands.
He’d disappeared from the celebration. An hour in from congratulations and happy faces, you watched him leave when no one was looking. And you did nothing to stop it. You knew he wasn’t one to relish in the joys of battle well done. Always intent on focusing towards the next thing—the next fight. It’s how you knew Leia would make him General, why he was so good at leading, at keeping the people he loved safe.
“Leaving without saying goodbye is rude, you know.”
He jumped slightly where he stood, his back to you, a holopad in one hand and a tool in the other. Of course he’d be here, fixing his X-Wing in silence. His own little ritual. You couldn’t count how many times you found him here after a fight, finalizing the last few checks before he caught some sleep. If he slept at all. Poe always seemed to be on the move no matter the time of day—a constant in the Resistance even when everyone else seemed to have lost faith.
“I said goodbye,” he joked, head turning slightly to see you come around, the holopad getting traded for a glass. “Just couldn’t see you in the crowd.”
You smiled. “You’re a shit liar Dameron.”
“I know.” He took a sip, winced, and laughed—the sound practically lighting you up inside. Igniting you like a fucking lightsaber.
“What’s the damage report?” 
“Nothing I can’t fix.” He glanced back at the scraped up hunk of metal he loved more than anything. The amount of care he put into keeping her going was admirable—if a little insane at times.
But he was right. The damage was nothing he couldn’t fix.
“Are you sure you don’t need help?” The smile still played on your lips, eyes alight and aiming to start something you wanted him to finish.
Poe caught onto it quicker than you expected. He could see it before you followed him out of the celebration. A promise that lingered in the air from months of longing looks and timid words. Something inevitable and real. So much so that you were willing to bet everything that he felt exactly the same way you did.
You wanted each other. That was clear from day one. But doing something about it became difficult when war was a constant and lives were put in peril on the daily. Poe didn’t want to leave you broken beyond repair if he never made it back. Just as you didn’t want to do the same to him.
The fucked up thing about it though was Poe would mourn you either way. He’d live his life half a man if you never graced him with your presence again. If you weren’t around to smile at him from across rooms and laugh at his shitty jokes. He was pretty sure he’d already started. Being away from you was like a poison he constantly had to take, a pain he didn’t want to endure. And if it were up to him…he’d choose you every time.
No matter the consequences.
“You ever been in an X-Wing before?” he asked, trying to see past the bits and pieces of the ache that hurt you both.
You rolled your eyes and Poe felt his chest tighten. “You know I haven’t. I’m not pilot material.”
“Sounds like bantha shit to me starlight.”
The name you’d heard so many times before echoed differently to you now. You wanted to break through its meaning and find the promise within. The antidote to this fucking ache that stuck to your chest. You wanted to rip it out and grind it up. You wanted to finally take what you desired, relish in the feel of calling him yours without the pain of knowing what came next. The both of you were trying to save your emotions—protect yourselves—but there was no use.
Poe had found a home in your heart and he was there to stay.
“Come with me.”
When it came to him you had no choice but to listen, following dutifully behind in a haze of want. He climbed up the ladder on the side of his ship, plopping down into the seat with the grace of a pilot who’d done it a million times before. The movement now muscle memory at this point. Whereas you clambered up—buzzed on one drink—nearly falling into the cockpit. He grabbed your arm at the last minute, helping you slowly maneuver your way in, until you were perched on this lap.
The seat was barely big enough to fit him let alone you as well. And yet…you’d never felt more comfortable. He pulled you back slightly, hands pressed to your hips, chest snugly placed against your back. With every intake and exhale of breath, you felt him move. Felt his body shift. If you focused, you knew you would be able to feel his heartbeat. The rhythmic thump you’d grown accustomed to.
“Now—“ He precariously balanced his glass on the dash. “Your hands go here.” Covering your hands with his, he showed you how he’d position himself if he were flying. The cold touch of the buttons and knobs beneath your fingers sent electricity up your spine. “These are to shoot.” Another shift. “And this is to aim.”
You sucked in a breath. “Seems complicated.”
“Not at all.” His fingers slid up your arm, chin coming to rest on your shoulder. You tried to remember how to take a single breath. “You just have to understand how the ship works. How she moves, what she likes.”
Your breath hitched, body leaning into him more, and finally you felt it. The wall holding both of you back crumbled to the ground. All that remained now was the will to finally do something about it. So you let his hands guide you, watching in anticipation as they moved to your own body, pressing your palms into your stomach.
“There’s always a heart of a ship,” he murmured, moving your hand down. “A pilot guiding the way.”
“Poe…”
"After all, we've got to guide the ship back home." A soft whimper left your lips, your nails digging into the meat of your thighs to contain yourself. If the cockpit of his ship wasn't so fucking small, you had no doubt you'd be spread on his lap, lips connected to his already.
He grinned, his lips brushing across the back of your neck. “For me…” He stopped right above the hem of your pants, your fingers aching to finally delve down further. “That’s always been you.”
The alcohol had all but burned out of your system from how warm you were. His touch guiding yours seemed to have lit something in the base of your stomach, causing it to spread outwards. And you needed more. Your head fell back against his shoulder, eyes fluttering shut as he pressed your hand beneath the coarse fabric of your pants. The feeling of him cupping your mound—using you all the while—sent a jolt across your body; a soft moan falling free past your lips.
“Maker starlight,” he said, his voice hoarse with desire. “You’re so fucking wet.”
He wasn't wrong. You could feel yourself dripping the longer he spoke, his words affecting you more than you anticipated. Ever since you first met, Poe always held a power over you. A reminder that no matter how many times you tried to rid yourself of him, no matter what you did...he would remain burned into your soul. He'd be part of you until you drew your final breath in this galaxy.
"It's cause of you," you gasped, your fingers and his sliding through your slick. Running along the lips of your cunt, skimming past your clit entirely. "Oh—"
The scrape of his teeth along your neck nearly did you in entirely, the plea hanging off the tip of your tongue in anticipation. He was toying with you. Playing you like a fucking instrument and listening to your melody. Drowning in the sounds you made—the ones he dreamed of. If there was a life after this, a fated place he could go to rest, he'd want it to be here. Crammed into this cockpit with you on his lap, the feel of you sliding through his fingers and the echo of your voice breathing his name sweeter than the alcohol you had handed him earlier.
Poe would do whatever he could to make this moment last just a minute longer.
"Need you."
He kissed the junction where your neck and shoulder met, fingers still guiding yours through your own heat. "I know you do starlight. But you're gonna cum for me like this first." Your sweet little gasp ripped him a part. He had to squeeze his eyes shut to stave off nearly coming in his pants. "Let me guide you."
You nodded and spread your legs as wide as they could go in the cramped space. It wasn't very far, nor did it give him space to do what he really wanted to do to you, but it would have to do for now. The noise of the celebration in the distance only grew louder as people consumed more alcohol, the joy bleeding into the air. But you couldn't give a shit at that moment about why they were happy, or even what occurred before today.
You were lost to the depths that Poe pulled you into.
Heat spilled between your fingertips, a sticky mess starting between the two of you, but that seemed to only drive him forward. He pressed down, sliding your fingers into you with ease, his delving in right beside you—stretching you in a way that had your back arching. Wrapped his arm around your waist, he kept you still, his chin set on your shoulder and chest heaving with controlled breaths. A way for him to keep the last bits of his sanity as he felt your walls clamp around his fingers.
"Fuck baby," he grit between clenched teeth. "You really did need me huh?"
Nodding, you felt him press even further, fingers searching for something.
"You're gonna make a mess on me." Pumping his hand, he felt your body shudder—your mouth falling open as a ragged moan echoed in the ship. "Gonna take me so easily. I'll slip right in."
You burned from the inside out. A searing heat pulling tight across your body until you could nothing but fall into it. There was no fighting against that aching bliss, no running from what you wanted, what you dreamed of. Poe was intent on breaking you apart right there on his lap, and he'd watch with a smile on his face as you spilled yourself between the rough pads of his fingers. As you made a fucking mess on his lap.
"C'mon baby," he muttered, curling his fingers forward and nudging against something blinding. You cried out, hand grasping at his wrist to either pull him away or keep him right there. You couldn't tell at this point. And he smiled. "Is that it?" Rubbing against the spongy patch along your walls, he felt your entire body lock up, a whimpered sob breaking from your chest. "Yeah. That's fucking it."
You tried to warn him, his name a garbled echo of nonsensical letters on your tongue. But he already knew. His hand sped up, practically pushing your fingers out of the way as he gave you everything you wanted. Poe was certain that he wanted this more than you, that deep down he needed to know that you came because of him. That he was capable of turning you into a sobbing mess.
The echo of his pained grunt was loud in your ears, his hips pressing up into you to relieve the pressure of need he felt, and that's what did it. The knowledge that he was as gone as you were. That he had always wanted you.
Your walls fluttered around his fingers, a splintered moan falling past your parted lips as the pleasure spilled over. And he buried his face into your neck, a broken sound of his own muffled by your warm skin. He fought against finishing, biting into your shoulder as he worked you through your release. Adamant to make this last for you—to drag you to the Maker and back with a sated smile on your face.
Eventually you couldn't take it anymore, pleasure bleeding into pain, and you dragged his hand away. A breathless sigh of his name shooting right to his cock.
Without knowing it you had broken him for anyone else. Obliterated his ability to ever see someone the way he saw you.
You and your beauty. Your ability to render him speechless, breathless, and at your fucking mercy. For so long he was the ship lost in space with no sense of direction to lead him back to something real, a purpose. But then you settled into his heart. You became his pilot, guiding him through the never-ending void of space. You kept him afloat even as the weight of the galaxy threatened to drag him down, happy to watch him crash and burn in as so many others had done before.
"That was new," you giggled, hand reaching back to run through his hair.
He smiled, his heart twisting in his chest and fingers still covered in your slick coming to grip at your hips. "To think..." Pressing your ass down against his hard cock, he felt the breath hitch in your chest. "We could have been doing this the whole time."
"W-What a loss," you breathed, that now familiar all encompassing need filling your veins once more.
As if he knew your body so well already, he began to pull at your pants, helping you strip yourself to the best of your ability. The soft clinking of his belt echoed loudly in the cockpit and for a moment you were sure that people in the distance could hear it. But that thought quickly left your mind the second you felt the hot skin of his cock pressing against your lower back—his precum wet and sticky now smeared against your skin. Saliva filled your mouth, the ache pulling at your chest, clawing its way to the surface.
You didn't simply want him. That was too small of a word to explain the feeling in your body. You breathed for him. You lived for him. Poe was the blood that streamed in your veins, the reason your heart beat the way it did. Because it beat for him.
"Say you want this," he grunted, grinding against your skin, his fingers digging in harder than before. Until blood nearly pricked at the surface.
"Yes." The word was out of your mouth before he could even finish speaking. "Maker, I've wanted this for so long."
A growl hit your ears, his nose pressed into your back as he lifted you slightly, and you felt like you would rip to shreds if he didn't hurry. The head of his cock pressed against your entrance, sliding into you with slippery ease. And you pressed back against him, desperate to feel him sink into you fully. To be stretched out around his cock. Poe choked on his breath when your warm heat encompassed his throbbing length so suddenly, nearly throwing him off the edge entirely.
"Fuck starlight. You're gonna have to give me a second."
Your lips curled up into a grin. "Yes, General."
For a moment Poe could only process the breaths he took, the word entering his already blank mind. It wasn't until a searing heat shot up his spine at the sound of his title leaving your lips, did he fully understand. His hips pushed up into you, forcing him to sink just a bit deeper. You clutched at the side of the ship, your eyes fluttering shut at the feeling. The position had him pressing right along your walls, the underside of his cock grinding blissfully against you.
"I used to think you had no idea." He pushed you up slightly until his cock was halfway out and he glanced down, moaning at the sight of him covered in your slick. Only to pull you back down hard. Your choked cry was like music to his ears. "Didn't know what you do to me. How my whole fucking body belonged to you."
"Poe—"
He repeated the movement, smiling at the noises that came free. "But I was wrong."
A pressure quickly built in the base of your stomach, threatening to destroy you. And you chased it. Meeting his thrusts, you fucked yourself on his cock, hands pressed to the dash in front of you and back arched to find the perfect angle that made your toes curl in your boots. Ragged breaths filled the space, accompanied by broken moans and stunted grunts. Each one louder than the last as you both took and took and took, until the very edge of bliss mounted in your bodies.
He gripped the back of your neck, hand fisting at your hair as he pulled you back roughly against his chest. And you fell into it. Whining his name when he grinded up slowly, your walls clamped down around his cock. You could barely see straight through the burn of tears that glazed your eyes, a fucked out expression painted perfectly on your face. And Poe wished he could see you from where he was, catch a glimpse of the way your eyes rolled back, neck on display for him to bite.
"You know exactly what you do to me, starlight." His mouth fell open in a silent moan when his balls drew up painfully, cock throbbing along your walls. He quickly shoved his hand into your slick, fingers locating your clit with ease.
"Maker—" You heard him bite out your name like a prayer he couldn't get out fast enough. A plea for you to give him everything you had, everything that made you who you were. "I'm— Fuck I-I'm—"
"Yes," he groaned, using his other hand to cup your chin and pull your lips to his. Finally kissing you after years of dreaming it would happen. "Fucking give it to me baby."
His tongue licked into your mouth, swallowing every sound you made with ease. The feel of his lips against yours shoved you towards your release. A muffled cry of his name echoing in his mouth as your body went taut, thighs quaking as you gushed on his cock. He choked, mouth open and panting against yours, following you instantly and spilling into your cunt—filling you until you were sure it was dripping out of you and gathering at the base of him.
"Yours," he sighed against your lips, thumb running along the top of your cheek. "'M yours."
The twist of your heart brought you down from your high, your eyes fluttering open as he stared at your kiss swollen lips, the way his spit smeared along your bottom one. You expected him to take it back once he slipped out of you. Surely this was nothing but a dream, a moment in time that may never happen again. But in his eyes you saw devotion. You saw the inevitable future that was always bound to happen.
"Me too."
He smiled, nose brushing against yours. "Guess we're stuck with each other starlight."
"That doesn't sound too bad to me, General."
He tsked under his breath, fingers coming to grip your chin—brown eyes flashing up to meet your gaze. "You're causing trouble."
You grinned, grinding on his softened cock that was still buried deep in you. "And if I am?"
The feeling of his cock twitching inside you, slowly growing hard with interest. "Hands on the controls baby." He nipped at your bottom lip. "You know what to do."
A soft flutter filled your stomach as you followed his direction. Taking the lead in a dance that you were now familiar with. With Poe everything came with ease, as if you'd gone through it with him hundreds of times over. And guiding him home was just the beginning.

It's Better On Top
i relate cause this was me a few months ago.
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Genre: Fluff
Word Count: 5.3K
Warnings: small smut scene, overprotective brothers and a small spiral of panic
Summary: you've always wanted to sleep on the top bunk of a bunk bed, it was sacrier than you thought and you need your boyfriend to help you get down
There was a child-like wonder to Peter’s room. 
The wall’s were a muted tone, chosen by whichever maintenance man who hated the idea of color. To make up for the lack of personality he’s added his own. Posters from being a tween till now, you could make out the older ones by the wrinkles in the edges. Pictures from all ages bounced around the room, ones with May, Ned and you. You always liked to fawn over his childhood ones, he looked so small and loving. He’d gladly follow you in the back of the van to see your new puppy, a favorite is one where he’s perched on May’s shoulders so happy to be up high. 
Awards and certificates of his genius covered any empty spots, only small peeks of the bland wall poked through. He had trinkets all around, figurines and collectables. He kept his prized ones on a shelf where he dusted once a week, the others floated on shelves, windowsills, or his desk. And the legos, he had sets everywhere, he hated breaking them apart after. It wasn’t about maintaining a pretty thing, it was about appreciating his frustration, concentration, and pride. 
He can do hard things because they turn out beautiful in the end. 
You caught the loose pieces, tucked in a plastic tub under his bed. 
His bed. Your favorite part of his room, he had something you’ve always wanted before. You begged your parents for years but they never delivered, you never had friends with one either. They just looked so fun, a permanent sleepover. Something to open the room, more space to play. When you first came over to his house you stood in awe, he had one. It was too soon to ask, and you waited until the moment striked. 
Tonight was the night you would finally fulfill your childhood dreams and sleep on the top bunk of a bunk bed. 
“Question.” 
Peter looked up from his desk for a moment, his tongue poking at the corner of his mouth slunk back in. He answered your words with a raised eyebrow, he grunted looking at his suit sewing up the shoulder. 
“Can I sleep on the top bunk tonight?” 
His eyes flickered up to the top, then back to his suit. 
“Why do you wanna do that? I sleep on the bottom bunk, you know.” He tugged the thread tightly. 
You do know, you’ve never been on top though. It felt like a summer camp, as you imagine. You’ve never been to one, you wonder if Peter has. To sleep in the same room as Peter, arm lengths away, to have him softly snoring underneath you as you count the stress fractures on his ceiling sounded blissful. 
“I’ve never slept on a bunk bed.” 
Peter looks at you and grins, “You sleep on it with me.” 
You roll your eyes, “Yeah but I’ve never had the sleepover bunk bed experience.” 
He drops his hands for a moment, “You never told me that, we could’ve done that ages ago baby.” 
You perk up, “So tonight?” 
Peter smiles softly, “I don’t know the last time the sheets were washed, I’ll set it up for you and I promise next time you can.” 
You bounce up and down on his bed, you can’t help yourself. You’re just so excited, you leap up to cross the room to press kisses to his face. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” He laughed as he lightly pushed you off him, “If I had known it would make you this happy I would’ve had you up there a million times by now.” 
You squeeze at him before clasping your hands, “It’s gonna be so fun, Petey. It’ll be like summer camp!” 
He raised an eyebrow, “Does that make me your counselor?” 
You ran your index finger down his chest and lowered your voice, “Shit sexy, you could be my camp director.” 
He matched your energy, “I’ll direct your camp.” 
You tried to bite back a smile, right before you broke it he sucked a breath through his teeth. 
“That was bad.” 
“It was.” 
“Swing and a miss.” 
“If you’re on my mound you won’t be missing.” 
Peter fake gagged, “You’re just as bad as me, get away you’re radiating bad flirting vibes and it’s affecting me.” 
You gasp and smack his shoulder, “Take it back! I’m not a bad flirt!” 
He nods and puts on a dumb voice, “Okay.” 
You cross your arms and narrow your eyes, Peter takes in your movements and gasps.
“Don’t you dare.” 
“I will if you don’t take it back.” 
“It’s not my fault you’re radiating bad flirting vibes.” 
“That’s it, you have two seconds or the legislation is being enacted.” 
Peter holds his breath and winces, he’s not breaking. Neither are you. 
“I tried being reasonable, Parker. You’ve lost kissing privileges until you repent for your sins against hot, excellent flirter girlfriends.” 
He holds a fist in the air and cries out, “Noooooo!” 
“That doesn’t sound like an apology to me, me and my lonely lips are going back to your bed, where they will stay until I get a heartfelt apology.” 
Peter pulled at the thread on his needle with his teeth snapping it. He tossed his suit on his desk and pulled at your arm as you walked away from him, spinning you around he pulled you into his lap and kissed you repeatedly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Each apology wrapped with a kiss. You giggled and kicked your feet and you pushed at his jaw but he insisted on kissing your jaw and neck. 
“Okay, okay! Sins repented!” 
“Did I do enough hail mary’s, my priest?” A wet kiss placed at your jawline. 
“What kind of roleplay is this?” Peter jumped slightly, May was leaning in the doorway. 
“I had to repent for my sins, May. I was just making sure I was in the clear.” 
“He said I had bad flirting vibes, May. The boy had to be punished.” 
May ran one index finger over the over in a ‘shame’ motion, “Shame.” 
Peter groaned, “I repented! The priest gives me the pass, go back to Jeopardy, May.” 
May raised her hands, “Alright, children of god. Dinner in an hour.” 
She turned slowly as she walked away, “No more sinning under my roof, Peter. You’re on thin ice as is.” 
He turned to whisper to you, “Did she just tell me I was going to hell?” 
You nodded quickly and matched his tone, “Yeah baby, she did.” 
Peter scoffed and looked at his suit with a sigh, “And just when a guy thinks he’s won enough good karma he’s tossed back in the hole.” 
“I bet it's lonely down there.” 
“And cold.” 
“I picture rain.” 
“Yeah, but it’s only on me so I can’t escape it.” 
“Like one of those cartoons with the clouds above their head?” 
“Exactly.” 
“Damn. Well, I’ll send a postcard from heaven.” 
“That is literally so toxic, get off of me.” 
You threw your head back laughing as Peter lightly pushed at your thighs.
—----------------------
You couldn’t help the wicked grin that crossed your face, Peter Parker was many things but number one on the list is best boyfriend ever. 
He had sent you a picture of the top bunk, it was taken from the ladder. A new set of sheets and your favorite throw blanket you kept on the couch was tucked in the corners of the bed. His childhood teddy bear was tucked in the railing against the wall, a small paper he wrote on was taped to the wall, you couldn’t read it over the phone. 
‘Guess who’s gonna have the best sleepover of their life.’ Was the text sent with it, you couldn’t help but send one back of your cheesy grin. ‘Did I ever mention how much I love you?’
‘Once or twice, it doesn't hurt to hear it again.’
‘I love my handsome, thoughtful boyfriend.’
He sent a questioning emoji, ‘You have another boyfriend?’
‘It’s amazing how you can be lovely and toxic at the same time.’
‘Like a fuckin mirror babe.’
You grunted at the phone with narrowed eyes. 
‘Be safe tonight, don’t die pls.’
‘I have a very important sleepover and my girlfriend is losing her bunk bed virginity, (twice) so I can’t die, the gods have spoken it into existence.’
‘Just for that comment, I lied. I wasn’t a virgin.’ 
‘Trust me, you were.’
You sent a grumpy face, ‘I’ll see you tonight, I love you.’ 
‘Love you too, baby.’
You could hardly count the minutes down until Peter got back from patrol and sent you the come over text, as silly as it was it felt like it was healing your inner childhood. Not to mention, unknown to you, Peter totally leaned into it and was committed to give you the best sleepover ever, snacks and drinks and take out and movies and everything you could want at a sleepover was carefully planned. 
Staring at your dresser you contemplated showing up in pajamas or bringing a bag, you figured you should bring some real clothes just in case but you were committed to wearing one of his shirts with some pajama shorts, ones he would say were delicious on you. They were too short for you to bravely wear them on the bus so you begged your brother to take you, it only cost you twenty bucks, he let you off easy. 
You knew he was busy swinging and you always hated the idea of sending him a text while he was possibly in the middle of kicking someone's ass and throwing him off, however, this was life or death.
‘Are we eating at yours or should I eat here?’
‘I planned on chinese, I should be home in an hour or two.’ 
"Sounds yummy, let me know when you’re on the way home, it only cost me a twenty to get a ride.’ 
‘Highway robbery, man up and strap some webshooters to those wrists.’ 
‘I’d die and you would be happy.’ 
‘Cash in on that life insurance.’ 
‘I knew you were with me for my money.’ 
‘And dat ass.’ 
‘I’m taking a shower.’ 
“Ooh, take a picture.’ 
—--------------------------------
You resorted to painting your toenails and watch a quick murder mystery video on youtube while you waited for Peter to call, the waiting was always the hardest part, you were selfish and wanted him when you wanted him, you just had to remind yourself it’s just like he has a normal job but with better flexibility. 
It didn’t make it easier, you still wanted Peter more than the city deserved Spider-Man. You would never tell him that. 
You steady your hand as you applied the second coat, you took the shower first and wouldn’t be able to wash away the color that went out of line. 
Your phone lit up with a picture of Peter, he was rubbing at his eye with a soft grin, caught before a yawn. It was the morning of a sleepover and you caught him before he made you breakfast and smothered you in kisses between May’s wandering eyes. 
“Hello lover.” You drawled out the words like you weren’t waiting for his call.
“Hey trouble.” His voice was as smooth as aged scotch on the rocks
You heard him breathe in quickly as the air wooshed by him, he was heading home you assume. 
“I’m gonna stop and get us dinner, head over in ten, okay baby?”
“Get me soup too, please!” 
“Got it. Wait, should I get your brother something?” 
“Are you trying to wine and dine my sibling?” You giggle into the phone.
“I’m trying to make him like me.” 
“Crab rangoons are a start.” 
“He’s gonna be my bitch in five years, just you wait.” 
“Playing the long game are you?” 
“You know, if you want to slip how good of a boyfriend I am for fulfilling your childhood dream on that car ride I wouldn’t object.” 
“Petey, honey. He doesn’t give a shit about my childhood dreams.” 
“Siblings are brutal. Thank god I’m an only child.” 
“I’ll get him to come inside, you can bro hug or whatever and give him his rangoons and he’s guaranteed gonna tell me you’re cool later in private.” 
“You’re the bestest, see you soon, trouble.” 
“Love youuuuu.” 
The second you hung up you nearly kicked the door in at your brother's room and told him he had five minutes before he had to tote you across town, per agreement.
Minutes later you were riding in silence as he blasted a new playlist, you would never admit it but you found some good songs from him. At a red light he rested his hand on his gear shift, picking at his bottom lip he tried subtle conversation. 
“Are you gonna need a ride home tomorrow or will the kid take care of it?” 
“If you don’t feel like picking me up then Peter, my boyfriend, will take me home.” Then follow up with, “Or maybe stay another night.” 
He shakes his head quickly, “I’ll pick you up, just text me when.” 
“He’s coming on the trip this year, you have to be nice. He’s nice, he’s good to me.” You say his name softly, he’s told you before that it’s just him fearing for your heartbreak, something Peter could cause and he would have to watch you heal from that. He knows how true heartbreak feels and he would never want you to feel that too, he thought he was dying. 
He accelerated at the green light. 
“I don’t hate the kid, I just don’t like him.” 
You sigh, “You can call him by his name, you won’t summon him I promise.” 
“He’s nice, I’ll throw you that bone.” 
“Just nice?” 
“He seems to treat you alright, rare to have a freakishly chivalrous guy this day in age.” 
“I’m telling Peter you said that, he’s so anxious about you hating him. He is so desperate for your approval it’s kinda sad.” 
“Don’t! Intimidation is the only thing I have over him.” 
You know he jokes about messing Peter up if he dares dump you but you know it’s all talk. 
“You really think Peter’s gonna dump me?” 
“Between the two of you? Yeah. You could never do it.” 
You snort, “He said the exact same about himself.” 
Your brother just hums and turns the music back up, there was no need to ask for directions, he’s been on this route hundreds of times in the past almost year. 
When he pulled to the curb you made a puppy dog face, “will you please come up? I have something you need to bring home and I don’t want to have to go up and down twice.” 
He pulled his eyebrows in, “You can’t bring it home tomorrow?” 
Shit. 
“No, mom needs it now. I forgot to ask Peter to bring it over earlier.” 
“What is it?” 
“C’mon, please! It’ll take five minutes.” 
He stared at you before groaning and throwing his seat belt off, ripping the key from the ignition. Without waiting on you he opened his door and started walking to the entrance making you scramble to escape the seat and power walking to catch up. 
You walked in on him mass spamming the elevator button as if it would make it come faster, “what floor is the kid on again?” 
“Peter.” you enunciated, “Lives on floor seven.” 
“Right.” 
He knocked, no, pounded on the door. Peter swung the door open fast, half worried you were desperate to get in but rather met with your brother's face. He quickly reset himself and smiled before opening the door for you to enter, Peter held out his hand for a shake with a nod of his name. 
Your brother shook his hand firmly, “Pecker.” 
“Peter!” you corrected, loudly. 
Peter waved it off, “close enough.” Then made his way to you leaning in for a quick kiss, “Hi, trouble.” You couldn’t help the smile. “Hi, handsome.” He gave you a squeezing hug and mumbled in your ear as he softly swayed you, “I missed you,” 
Your brother let out a gag, “alright what did you need me to bring home, this place reeks of Parker.”
“Ah! I got you these,” he hopped into the kitchen to grab the small take away box. “Crab rangoons.” Peter nodded at the container as he handed it out, your brother took it wearily, “I don’t normally accept bribes but this one slides, that’s-“ he made eye contact with you, “very nice of you.” 
You nodded your head and couldn’t help the growing grin, then he realized your game and gave a nod at Peter then turned to leave he pointed at you, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
“Oh you don’t have to, I can bring her home.”
Your brother looked over his shoulder at him, then repeated himself “I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
When the door shut loudly Peter looked at you with an excited face, “that went well, right? He only referred to me as a penis once!” You smiled before grabbing at his shoulders moving him to the couch and straddling him, Peter rested his palms on your thighs lightly tapping them, his eyebrows raised waiting for you to talk. 
“He didn’t want me to tell you this but because I love you, and I’m starting to feel extreme pity for you-“ 
“Thanks, baby.” A squeeze. 
“-Welcome, he told me in the car that he thinks you’re nice and you treat me freakishly well, so in his words, “I don’t hate the kid, I just don’t like him.””
“At this rate he may even tolerate me by the time we go on vacation.” 
You squeeze his shoulders and place a chaste kiss to his mouth, “The rangoons just put you at not complaining if you come over for dinner level.” 
Peter threw his head back, “Let’s goooooo.” 
You let out a small sigh, he tried so hard. “It’s not personal Pete, he just doesn’t want you to hurt me and not that he would admit it, I think a part of him doesn’t want to like you because if we were to ever split he would miss you too.” 
He pulls a dumb face, “okay but has he considered we won’t break up, like ever?” 
You shrug, “Yeah, about that..” 
Peter rolls his eyes and flips you to pin you to the couch, “you stop it, woman. I am going to wine, dine and bed you before banishing you from mine tonight.” 
“Don’t wanna make the bed rock from up top?” 
“And have my head whack the ceiling a million times? No.” 
“I could be on top.” 
“And have you whack your head on the ceiling? Absolutely not.” 
“You’re such a gentleman, do you have any objections to making the couch rock?” 
Peter dropped his jaw and scoffed, he looked over your face looking for your bluff, you weren’t kidding. He supported himself with one hand as the other slipped under his— your shirt, “You know May uses this couch.” 
You nod as you wrap your legs around his waist pulling him in, “I know.” 
He groans when you grind against him, “It would be dirty of us, we shouldn���t.” 
You look in his eyes as he watches you pull up slightly pulling your shirt off, he glances at your chest before looking back at you. “We shouldn’t,” you agree with him as you shuffle your pajama shorts down your thighs, Peter lets out a room quieting gasp when you pull him from his pants. 
“Fuck you’re eager.” 
You lean up to place a kiss below his ear, “I’m just showing how much I missed you.” 
He let out another curse when you rolled your hips into his, “You’re dirty, so so dirty.” ————————-
Peter had woken you up from the couch around one in the morning, he had let you sleep through the last half of the movie you had started. And you were sleepy until he woke you up and started to push you towards his room and seeing his bedside lamp light up the room woke you up more. 
Rubbing at your eye you speak through a yawn, Peter still understands. 
“Course you can still sleep up top.” 
He pulls down his own sheet and shakes his own yawn, you start to climb up the ladder and notice the higher you got the shakier your knees became, then you slightly duck because you’re closer to the ceiling than you estimated. 
With a slight turn over your shoulder your tongue melts in your mouth, it’s higher up than what you thought. And sure, you’re not a kid and it’s just a bunk bed but it feels like all rational thinking went out the window, it was high up and you can’t help but think about the fall down. 
“Help?” 
Peter looked at you with a tilted head and his hands on his hips, he was about to ask ‘help with what?’ but rather used his detective skills and nodded his head. He crossed the room and followed you up the ladder, as he followed up you were able to comfortably sit on the top bunk. 
You crossed your legs with a small smile, like you didn’t just panic and ask for him to follow you up in case you somehow fell backwards. Peter’s eyebrows rise to ask if everything's okay, you open your arms for him to follow you down on the bed, you close him in with a tight hug. 
“I love you.” 
He laughs and places a kiss on your neck, “I love you too baby.” 
“Okay, I’m ready. Tuck me in and call it a night, dad.” 
Peter watched you shuffle under your blanket with a grunt at the title, he leaned over you to tuck in the sides so you were snuggled in. He pushed some hair out of your face and pressed a soft, longing kiss to your mouth. 
“Goodnight, trouble.” 
You bit your lip to suppress a grin, only a whisper left your mouth, “night.” 
Only lasting five minutes of silence in the dark room, which was your preference by the way, Peter didn’t mind if a light was on but you claimed you couldn’t sleep in the light. 
“It makes my eyelids see through, Peter.” 
“You’re so dramatic.”
You called out to Peter. 
“Pst, Peter.”
He has a stage whisper, “yeah?” 
“Have you ever been to summer camp?” 
He shuffles in bed, you think he’s pulling the blanket up. 
“I’m poor.” 
“I’ve never been either.”
“Notice you didn’t say you’re poor too?” 
“Money is a mindset, Peter.” 
“Sounds like you’re poor.” 
A sigh, “I am.” 
You hear him roll over, your own bed shakes with his jostle, you grip your sheets. Your slight edge sparked Peter’s senses. 
“You okay up there?” 
You wouldn’t object if he begged you to come sleep with him, but you were going to see out this childhood dream. 
“Yeah. I miss you.” 
He snorts, “Reach your hand down.” 
You follow his instructions and wiggle your arm through the side bars, his hand encases your own. For a moment everything settles and you almost ask for him to come join you, but you’re terrified of the bed shaking. 
“Couldn’t be further from you if I tried.” 
“Will you do this all night?” 
“And risk a frozen shoulder for you?” He shoots out, then adds, “Of course I would.” 
“Aw, you’re such a good friend!” 
His hand squeezes yours, “what kind of a friend?” 
You giggle, “the bestest!” 
“Wrong B word, dear.” 
You gasp, “ I don’t think you’re a bitch, Peter!”
He groans, “That’s it, fend for yourself. Goodnight, traitor.” 
Peter’s hand drops from yours and he turns towards the wall, you whine when he pulls away from you. “Fine then, goodnight, Parker.” 
You hear him mumble to himself and grin while you let sleep take over. 
——————————
Your phone said it was four twenty three in the morning. 
You wonder when Peter will wake up, if he would rise when the sun did or, more likely, sleep until you wake him up when you get too bored of entertaining yourself like you usually do. 
You have to pee, bad. 
You got as far as one step on the ladder then felt yourself slightly sway, you tried to find the next step but were too scared to extend your foot all the way to reach it. 
You tried looking back and cursed yourself for sleeping in the pitch black tonight, you were in limbo between sending it and hopping down and crawling back up and waving a white flag. 
Deciding you were a grown badass you forced yourself to take the next step and nearly slipped, Peter’s foot was resting right between the steps and his blanket made the step slick. You nearly fell backwards, in a rush you climbed back up and checked the time to see if you could wait it out. 
You were able to wait for ten minutes, then a cramp hit and all you can think about is the toilet ten steps away.
Calling quits you realize your only hope was Peter, and he was dead asleep judging by his snores. Nevertheless, you start to plead. 
“Peter?” A whisper. 
“Peter.” A little louder. 
He snores loudly at that one. 
“Peter!” A whisper shout. 
He’s not answering. 
He’s not answering, and he’s not awake, and you can’t get down, and you have to pee and you were the one that wanted this. 
You blink back tears, why do you want to cry? 
“Peter!” You spoke in a regular but quiet voice. 
He stays silent, you start to chant his name over and over, he doesn’t respond. 
On the fourth call your tears break through, you sigh heavily. Tears dripped down your chin into your hands, you called out one more time, begging. 
“Peter, please.” 
You sniffle, then let out a breath of fresh air. 
“Baby?” It’s raspy and spoken through a sharp inhale, he feels like cold water has been dumped on him. 
He stares at the slats above him like he has x-ray vision to see through them to you. 
“Peter! I can’t- I don’t know how- I have to-“ You start to breath heavy, your eyes flooding with panic and embarrassment, and you really fucking have to pee. 
Peter untangled himself to stand up, he pulled down a leg of his boxer briefs that had risen with his tossing and turning. 
“What’s wrong?” 
You gasp for air, you feel the bed shake when he pulls at the ladder to pull himself up. You wrap your hands around your head, “I wanna get down, I wanna get down!” 
You repeat the words over and over until you feel hands over your own, the bed dips where Peter has his knees on either side of you. He wraps you tight in his arms, “It’s okay, you’re okay. We can get you down, it’s okay.” You wind your arms around his, tucking yourself in your neck to start to cry. 
Peter’s heart hurts, you’re scared. 
“You’re safe. I’m here, okay?” 
He feels your warm breath wash over his chest, you try and calm yourself down, it’s not as scary when Peter has you surrounded. 
“I couldn’t get down and you wouldn’t wake up.” 
Peter frowns between your studders, he hates that you were calling out for him and he didn’t hear it. 
“I’m so sorry, baby. I’m here now, okay? Wanna get down?” 
You nod into his neck, “I have to pee so bad.” 
Peter breathed through a smile and kissed the top of your head, “okay, let’s go pee.” He pulled himself away and started to go down the ladder, you watched him with wide eyes trying to memorize his steps so you could match. 
You looked up and noticed how close you were to the ceiling, your throat felt like it closed up. You could feel how shaky your knees were even looking at the space to go down, you figured you would wet the bed tonight. 
“I’m right here, trouble. I won’t let you fall, I promise.” 
You shake your head, “I can’t. I tried and I can’t.” 
Peter hums and looks around the room, he can’t carry you down. The physics wouldn’t allow him too, his only option was catching you. 
“Can you sit on the railing for me, baby?” 
You reached out a hand to wiggle it, it seemed sturdy. 
“Okay.” 
You white knuckled the banister when it creaked under your weight, “Peter, get me down, please get me down. I’m gonna freak out.” 
“I need you to trust me, sweetheart. Just drop.” 
You hold on tighter, your voice squeaks. “Drop?!” 
“I gotta catch you, I can’t carry you down, baby.” 
You look over to the window, the moon was lighting up one side of the room, you can barely make out his figure on the side of the bed. 
“Can you see me?” 
He lets out a small laugh, “Yes, baby, I can see you.” 
You buffer and hold up a hand, “How many fingers am I holding up?” The other hand has a vice grip to steady you.
“Four.” 
You whine, “I’m scared.” 
Peter’s heart hurts again. 
“I know you are, I promise I’ll catch you, okay?” 
“Okay.” You don’t sound very confident. 
“I’m gonna let go.” 
“I’m ready.” 
You loosen your grip then immediately double down. 
“Okay, I’m gonna drop now.” 
“Got it.” 
You stay there for another second. 
“Baby, you gotta let go.” 
“Be honest, will you be mad if I wet the bed?” 
“No, but how are you gonna get down after that?” 
You breathe in deeply, “I’m gonna actually do it, you promise you’ll catch me?” 
“I promise.” 
You loosen your hold to push off, “I’m about to let go.” 
“I’m right here.” 
You hold your breath and push off as hard as you could, your hair breezes and your body feels weightless for just a moment. Then you’re caught, hands wrap around your back and thighs, you feel yourself bounce in his hold then level out. 
“Caught you.” Peter’s voice is a whisper in your ear, you kick your legs to be let down. You immediately turn to wrap him in a hug, “thank you, I love you.” Then push him back to sprint to the bathroom. 
When you come back in he’s back in bed, his blanket open for you to join. You couldn’t help but feel like a little kid, but it was dark and high up and to be fair you couldn’t see where you were going. 
Sliding next to him his eyes open, “the first time I was on top bunk I was like, seven and I had a nightmare and I couldn’t get down and was screaming so loud May woke up and had to come rescue me.” 
“I didn’t realize I'd feel so trapped up there.” 
He hums, “It does feel like that, huh?”
“You were my hero tonight, you’re good at that. Maybe you should look into a job doing that.”
“I may have to look into it, I’m tired of being New York City’s Spider-Menace.” Then decides to add, “I’m sorry you were scared and needed me and I wasn’t waking up. You must’ve been petrified.” 
“I don’t think I’m ever gonna go up there again.” 
He laughs, “that’s okay.” 
You roll over to stick your face against his arm. “Sorry I woke you up.” 
“Your tears were coming through the slats, it was chinese water torture.” You open your mouth to bite at him, he grunts. “I’ll let you get away with that, you had a scary night.” 
“Remember earlier when we were talking about B words?” 
Peter hums, he’s falling back asleep. He never used to fall asleep so fast until he met you, having you tucked into his side always made him sleep soundly. 
“You’re the best boyfriend ever.” 
He opens his arm to pull you into him, “you make it easy.”

OK OK ORR (not rlly a req bc idk how you’d write this?) but innocent reader being best friends with Oscar and telling him u fingered urself for the first time/came for the first time and he’s trying to stay calm & supportive like he’s not the hardest person ever rn😭 hed be fighting for his life trying to keep his tone composed fnfnfnf hoping she doesn’t look down at his bulge
oh my GOD! i got an idea an ran with it i hope u like it babes
she’s never had a real orgasm before even though she’s had sex a few times w dif boyfriends, but they couldn’t get her off and she just didn’t really know how to do it herself, she could never push herself over the edge. so one day she stumbles upon a sex shop and gets a little bullet on a whim, goes back to the hotel and has her first ever orgasm. she’s super excited about it the next day and he notices her good mood and asks about it and she says “it’s nothin! just had a really good nights sleep, comfy bed.”
he slept horribly the night before, so he jokes, “mind if i sleep in your bed tonight? mines shit” for some reason, the teasing tone makes her flush and she blinks at him stupidly for a second, mind drifting to how she’d planned on trying to make herself cum again. “sorry, i didn’t mean-“
he tries to take it back but she cuts him off, “no it’s fine- uh, that’s- we can have a movie night.” he nods and grins, trying to figure out why she’s acting different today but forgets about it when he gets busy with work until he’s back in her hotel room later that night. she’d just gotten out of the shower when he arrived and she was in cute matching pajama shorts and a long sleeve henley when she opens the door to his knock.
like they have dozens of times, they crawl into bed together and he wraps his arms around her. despite being more comfortable laying in this bed, it’s because she’s in it and he’s not alone. his back is aching from last night and he’d actually hoped he’d gotten stuck with an old mattress and that her’s would be newer and softer, but both were firm and he didn’t sink into it like he wanted. “your bed feels like a rock, no way you got any good sleep on it last night.” he teasingly complains.
she sighs and after a moment she confesses, “yeah, thats not why i had a good nights rest.” it feels safe laying in bed like this with him, like she can say whatever without fear of judgement or being overheard.
his eyebrows raise and he hums, “what’s that? have you been smoking again?” he huffs, “that’s not fair, i can’t do it.”
she giggles, “you know i only do that at home. no i uh- god, this is embarrassing. i’ve never had an orgasm- well before last night.”
oscar’s breath hitches and she feels his fingers twitch against her stomach where his hand slipped under her shirt. “really? how? i didn’t know that.” clearly he didn’t know that, but he’d assumed.
she huffs, “kinda thought i couldn’t, some women can’t. but i got a vibrator yesterday and i- sorry, i don’t know why i’m giving you all the details- but i slept well because of it.” she ends it with an awkward giggle, thankful she can’t see the look on his face and he can’t see the flush on hers. he’s thankful for another reason, happy that she’d gotten herself off, happy that no one else had done it. his eyes have gone dark and all he’s thinking about is the fact that she’s had one orgasm in her entire life and it was the night before, in this very bed. he’s thinking about the sounds she made, how she looked, how good it felt after years of disappointment.
he clears his throat but his voice still comes out thick, “you don’t have to apologize, can tell me anything. i wouldn’t make fun of you.” he tries to push back the thoughts, but his cock is already half hard from his wandering mind and he’s praying she can’t feel it pressed against her.
she lets out a little laugh, her body shifting against his and his hand twitches against her skin again, fingers pressing into her stomach as she says, “i know that, but you don’t care about my lack of orgasms. not like it would’ve mattered anyways.”
oscar’s mind spins and he can’t help but say, “could’ve just made you cum if you told me sooner.” he can’t take it back, doesn’t want to take it back even though she goes silent and still in his arms. he starts to regret it just before she’s turning in his arms and pressing her lips to his before he even registers they’re face to face
he’d make her cum in every way he can think of to make up for lost time, for every guy she’d fucked that hadn’t made her cum. and even though they’d sleep really well for about two hours before he has to go to the track, they’d both be exhausted all day.

ode to a conversation stuck in your throat
itoshi rin x reader smau
chapter XVIII: favorite trope
cw: cursing, making out
chapter XVII > series masterlist > chapter XIX
you paced back and forth in front of your door, waiting for the tell-tale sound of rin unlocking it with the key you gave him years ago. the door knob jangled and you fought back a yelp. unable to stop yourself, you reached forward and unlocked the door for him, opening it wide.
it was silent.
rin stared at you as if seeing you for the first time.
you stared back, taking in the bags under his eyes and his abnormally messy appearance. he looked like he hadn't slept the last 3 days since you two fought.
"hi," you breathed, "uh, come in, please." rin didn't take his eyes off you as he slipped by you, leaving his shoes at the door. he paused for a moment, unsure of whether to go to your bedroom like he usually would or stay in the entry way with you.
silently, you grabbed his hand, pulling him down the hallway to your room. you could've sworn he let out a sigh of relief as his fingers tightened on yours. he sat on the bed, and you thought he was trying to hide his disappointment as you took a seat at your desk chair a few feet away from him.
"so…" you started awkwardly. he was still staring at you intensely as you spoke. "i'm sorry about all the shit i said. i was angry and i dumped all that on you and it was completely unfair and hypocritical of me. you're not actually that much of an inconsiderate asshole." you paused for a moment before adding, "most of the time."
rin chuckled, running a hand through his hair. you tried not to stare at it.
you failed.
rin noticed your gaze and tucked his hands away almost self-consciously, but the air was now thick with tension.
"i'm, um…" he seemed to be struggling for words. "i'm sorry too. i was incredibly jealous and angry at myself, and i took it out on you when i really shouldn't have. i'm sorry, yn."
you smiled gently. "it's okay, rinnie," you replied, "what you said afterward made up for it." rin blushed. "which part?" he asked.
you rolled your eyes. "the 'i've been in love with you for years' part, the 'you mean the fucking world to me' part, the 'i didn't know i could love a sound as much as i love your laughter' part," you said, ticking them off on your fingers as you spoke. rin looked like he was about to hold his hands over his ears. "okay, okay, i get it," he muttered, face bright red as he looked down.
"oh, yeah, can't forget the 'i love the sounds you make when i'm inside you' part," you added boldly, eyebrows raised. his eyes snapped up to meet yours as he stilled.
"i- that… so you caught that…" he sounded defeated, as if he'd hoped you'd forgotten that part. you scoffed. yeah, right.
"yeah, i caught that, rin," you said. you stood up slowly from the chair, shifting toward rin until the front of your legs brushed his knees where he sat on the bed. "it was hard to miss." your voice was low, barely a whisper as his hands came to rest at your hips. his thumb brushed the exposed skin of your midriff, causing goosebumps to erupt across your body. you suddenly felt like you were on fire.
"did you mean everything you said?" you asked quietly, unable to meet his eyes as tears welled up in yours. one of his hands lifted from your hip to grip your chin. he lifted it so that you were looking into his eyes. "i meant every word," he said firmly. "every goddamn word."
unable to stop yourself, you wiped the tears from your eyes as you moved to straddle him. you buried your face in his neck, inhaling his scent, the one that always smelled like home. rin wrapped his arms around you tightly, one hand twisted in your hair.
"aw, come on, don't cry, yn," he said with a chuckle, "how very lukewarm of you."
you giggled through your tears. "i assure you, itoshi rin, i am very, very hot for you." his hands froze before you added, "not lukewarm in the slightest."
rin sighed. "you really know how to make my heart stop dead in my chest, you know that?" you laughed, pulling back to look at his beautiful face. "i know, rin."
the two of you leaned forward at the same time, lips meeting lips as your hands tangled in his hair. his hands moved, one falling to the small of your back to pull you closer and the other one drifting to cup your cheek.
you pulled back for a moment, knowing that if you continued what you were doing with him, you'd forget what you wanted to say. your forehead rested against his as you whispered, "i love you rin. i'm so in love with you it scares me."
rin smiled softly. "i love you too, yn," he murmured. he seemed to think for a second before asking, "does this mean we're together now?"
you threw your head back with a laugh. "yes, rin, this means we're together now."
rin grinned, unable to hold back his joy as he brought you in for another kiss. you held his face in your hands as the two of you fell back onto the bed, overcome with happiness.
in the back of your mind, you were thinking about nagi's words from over a month ago.
i love the childhood best friends to lovers trope.
he was right, you decided as rin kissed each of your fingertips, your knuckles, and your palm.
that was your new favorite trope.
chapter XVII > series masterlist > chapter XIX

Heartbreak feels so good.
Jake Lockley + Khonshu x F! Reader.
Tumblr media
Tags & warnings. Mentions of violence and being hurt, angst, mentions of kidnapping, cursing.
Word count. 4.7
Summary. He left as quickly as he appeared in your life.
No, in fact, you took it upon yourself to remove him from it, piece by piece, until there was nothing left of him.
You never regretted it; your love was never above your morals, and you could live with that even on days when it felt like your heart had been ripped out of your chest. But there was something about the nights that made you miss him more.
The way the moonlight bathed you through the window was a constant reminder that it wasn't just your imagination trying to save you from your impending loneliness. He had cradled you in his arms, or perhaps, you had cradled him in yours, who knows.
Now, you were left with a life without them.
Without him.
Tumblr media
Not waking up to the sound of your alarm was a strange way to start the day, not as strange as the rest was going to be, but it was quite fitting for the situation.
The headache came in stabbing waves, and opening your eyes was the icing on the cake, although fortunately, everything was dark. Had your nap gotten out of hand? It wouldn't be the first time you slept for 24 hours straight.
Everything was relatively calm, with one tiny detail you noticed after a few seconds. You weren't in your room.
In fact, you had no idea where you were.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit." you whispered as you pushed the sheets over your body. A sharp pain ran through your entire leg, combined with one on the opposite side, at the level of your ribs. "Shit!" you said again, this time with a slightly louder tone.
This should be the part where you cried; your mind immediately went to the most logical conclusion at the moment: years of walking around the city at night with your headphones on had led to this, a kidnapping.
A pretty stupid kidnapping if you thought about it because many of your things were still in your pocket – your phone, headphones, some crumpled dollars. On the bureau across the room, some of your belongings were resting too; you recognized your purple folder decorated with stickers, but it seemed to have barely survived as it looked more damaged than usual.
You also took a moment to look at yourself. You were wearing only a long T-shirt that wasn't yours, way too big for your body, but it gave you the freedom to notice that your ankle and leg were bandaged, and you could also feel the slight pressure of the fabric around your ribs.
"You woke up." You almost screamed in fear when a figure that you could barely distinguish appeared at the door, speaking with a curious accent.
Of course, your first reaction was to grab the first thing you could find and throw it with all the force you could muster, considering your broken leg and ribs. He barely managed to raise his hands to shield himself from the glass of water that shattered into a thousand pieces on the floor.
Jake had forgotten how much things hurt when he wasn't wearing the suit.
"Ouch! Okay, okay, okay, I understand!" He raised both hands in a gesture of innocence, taking a step back but staying close to the door frame. "I get it, really! You're scared, it's weird, I know, I know, just let me… No!"
There went his favorite lamp. And worse, it didn't even serve as defense because you ended up groaning in pain, clutching your ribs.
"Please, stop throwing things!" Jake looked sadly at the broken lamp for a few seconds before looking at the empty space in the room. He stayed silent for a few seconds, as if he were listening to someone.
He nodded silently to nothing and then sighed.
Great, you got kidnapped by a crazy person.
"Just let me explain, okay?" He didn't want to intimidate you further, although he doubted it was even possible. He crouched down to pick up the three pieces into which the object had shattered; the last thing he needed now in his apartment was this mess. "Please."
You had seen enough movies to know that sometimes the best option for survival was to be kind.
"Okay." It was the only thing you said as you tried your best to sit on the bed in a more comfortable position.
"Have you heard of that strange vigilante with the white suit and ridiculous cape…"
If only you had heard Khonshu's reaction as he cursed Jake from the corner of the room.
"Well, not so ridiculous cape, who's been on the streets for a few months?"
You pursed your lips and had to force yourself to continue the conversation. Of course, you knew him; you sometimes shared photos of him on the internet, the few that were available and of poor quality. You even remembered commenting "He's so fucking cool!!!" on some fan page.
Those with at least 15 followers.
"Yeah, the one who looks like a mummy on steroids."
"Wow, that's new."
"What does he have to do with you kidnapping me?"
"You're not kidnapped."
"I can't leave."
"Technically, no."
"Then I am kidnapped."
Jake sighed, giving up.
"It was an accident; you ended up in the middle of one of his missions by mistake. You got injured, although you probably already felt that."
"And that's why you kidnapped me?"
"Ay por dios." He pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath. "You have a broken leg, you twisted your ankle, and you have some broken ribs. I couldn't leave you like that; you lost consciousness quickly."
You nodded slowly; it was clear you weren't convinced yet.
"So you just decided to be a good Samaritan? You could have taken me to the hospital, you know, instead of kidnapping me."
"They'll ask questions at the hospital, and that will lead to the police. I couldn't take you there."
"Plus, I don't have medical insurance."
"Well, I didn't know that, but it's one more point in my favor."
"It's still not a good enough excuse to…"
"You're not kidnapped!" His accent became more noticeable as he lost his patience; that was interesting.
"So, the masked guy is an idiot who leaves the injured because of him to their fate."
You didn't have the strength or energy to argue anymore; this whole situation was a joke without humor, although it didn't sound so impossible.
You once read about someone who wanted to sue Spider-Man for the same thing. Or had it been Daredevil? Too much pain in your body and too many superheroes with red suits.
"Technically, no."
"Technically, yes."
"He's taking responsibility for what he did."
Your eyes met his, and he cleared his throat.
"You're lying; you just don't want me to scream or call the police."
"I'm not lying to you."
"Prove it."
The last thing you saw before losing consciousness for the second time in 24 hours was the shining white ceremonial suit in the darkness, with a faint glow that seemed to emanate from it.
The good side was that technically, you weren't kidnapped.
Tumblr media
The second time you woke up wasn't as difficult as the first. The headache had almost completely faded, and at least now you had a clearer context of where you were, partially, but less lost than before.
"Hello again." Jake looked at you from a chair next to the bed, holding a book that he was frowning at. He looked like a child who had discovered that not all books have pictures.
"I feel like I've been run over by a steamroller," you whispered without moving from your spot.
Jake thought about how lucky you were not to see Khonshu; otherwise, you would have woken up with a giant beak in front of your face and two empty eye sockets examining you.
"You'll feel better someday," he joked, flipping a page.
"So, this is your fault?"
"Technically," that damn word again, "it's your fault for not watching where you walk."
"You're an idiot," you said, eyes closed, not raising your voice.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine." It wasn't fine; you were in the most bizarre situation you had ever experienced. "At least did you stop the bad guy?"
"I killed him, actually."
You opened one eye and looked at him. He looked back at you.
"I was kidding."
"To joke, you have to be funny."
Khonshu laughed, and Jake wished he could rip his own ears off; it was a sound he hadn't liked for some time now.
"I'm Jake Lockley." The boy leaned slightly to offer his hand in greeting. "You don't have to tell me your name; I read all your papers. The ones that survived."
"My backpack?"
"Didn't make it."
"That hurts more than my leg." You confessed, bringing both hands to your face. "Or my ribs."
"I'll get you another one."
"I don't want another, Jake Lockley." You still had your face covered with your hands. "I want to cry."
"You can do it, I won't judge you."
"It's me who's judging you." Your voice broke within seconds; the fatigue was finally starting to hit. "Why couldn't Spider-Man rescue me?" The sob you let out was ridiculous to Jake, who had to contain himself from laughing.
"I'll get you an aspirin." He placed the book on the bed, getting up from his chair. "Do you like juice?"
"Pineapple," you replied between sobs.
Jake left the room with a smile on his face, while Khonshu, in complete silence, continued to watch you.
Tumblr media
By the third day, you had already assimilated many things. The main one was that, according to the internet, broken ribs take approximately 6 weeks to heal, a sprained ankle takes 12 weeks, and the legs, if lucky, take less than 8 weeks. So, you were looking at a minimum of 6 weeks there before Jake would agree to let you go.
The logical part of you eventually accepted the deal; you knew you didn't have family or close friends who could take care of you now that you could barely move.
"Are you comfortable?" He placed you on the individual sofa in his small living room and arranged the cushions around you to avoid any discomfort.
That was something you had gotten used to, being carried by him, having his hand around your waist while he helped you walk to the bathroom, and his scolding in Spanish when you tried to move on your own.
"Maybe if you had done it shirtless, it would have been more fun."
"Que graciosa." He rolled his eyes as he handed you the TV remote. It was rare for him to be home at this hour, but you didn't mind the company.
He sat on the larger sofa, ready to watch whatever you chose. Of course, you didn't stay quiet for long.
"How does your suit work?"
"Nanotech."
"Bullshit. Why would you have a nanotechnology cape?"
"It's a complicated explanation."
"I have time. About 1,008 hours."
"Are you always this annoying?"
"Sometimes more."
"There's a God involved. Khonshu, the Egyptian god of the moon."
You nodded in silence, watching him attentively. At this point, it was probably impossible for any regular citizen dealing with superhero stuff all week to be surprised by any kind of story.
"He saved me." Thankfully, Marc couldn't hear this, or he would beat up his own body to hear such nonsense. "I work for him, he granted me the healing suit and all that." He shrugged as if it was no big deal.
"So, you can see him?"
"More than I'd like, yes." He didn't let you ask more; he spoke quickly when he noticed your intentions to dig further into the story. "Do you like instant noodles?"
"I love them." You watched him closely as he stood up from the sofa.
As he passed by you on his way to the kitchen, you stretched a bit to take Jake's hand and stop him.
Your request for a glass of pineapple juice was completely silenced by Khonshu's voice.
Hathor. It resonated in his ears.
It lasted a few seconds, but Jake felt suffocated. At least 3 different images, and in all of them, you were there. Or so it seemed; your clothes didn't match anything he had seen before, and the only clue he got about what was happening were the angles from which he saw you.
In the last one, you were underneath him, or so it seemed.
Then, an overwhelming feeling of sadness flooded his chest.
"Jake?"
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"Deja vu," he said, blinking a couple of times. He let go of your hand and hurried to the kitchen, trying to distance himself from you as much as his small apartment allowed him.
Tumblr media
You were sitting on the neatly made bed, wearing a dress you didn't love, especially when it revealed the bandages decorating your leg. But it had been Jake's choice, who decided after a week that maybe you couldn't live solely in his shirts.
However much he liked how petite it made you look.
He seemed so excited about the idea of getting clothes for you that you couldn't bring yourself to say no.
You hummed softly as you browsed through your music library when the bedroom door opened. You didn't expect Jake back so early.
"You came back quickly. What were you—" When you looked up, you fell completely silent.
That was Jake, but he wasn't?
His expression was tenser, so was his posture, but more importantly, his iris had a bright white color, except for the outer circle.
Something in your mind clicked immediately. Was this what he meant when he told you that Khonshu wanted to meet you? If it wasn't for the obvious, you'd think this was some kind of prank. You were never a person sensitive to the supernatural, but you could swear that the entire energy of the place changed as soon as he appeared.
"Is that you?" You whispered as he took steps closer to the bed. He was examining you, just as he had been doing since you arrived, but this was the first time you could feel it.
He nodded silently.
"Thank you for saving me." You smiled, which sent a shiver down the god's spine. "Jake told me it was you who asked him to do it, so thank you."
He sat on the bed, right by your side, and you moved your phone aside to show that he had your full attention.
"What were you doing?" Just when you thought Jake's voice couldn't get any deeper, Khonshu managed to surprise you. His voice sounded like it had an extra layer of depth.
"Listening to music, waiting for Jake to come." Your eyes were focused on his, and no matter how much you wanted to look away, it was physically impossible, as if they had a magnet that instantly drew you back to them.
"There?" He was aware of the technological advancements of humans, but both Steven and Marc had the most basic phones one could find nowadays.
You nodded, chuckling softly as you took your earphones to carefully put one in his ear and the other in yours.
"Wanna try?"
He nodded, silently.
"I'm going to press play, okay? So you won't be caught off guard." For a moment, he felt stupid because someone… No, not someone, a human was treating him like he was made of glass.
He didn't complain, especially when the music began to play.
The cable of the earphones kept you close, and you stared as he closed his eyes. His brow furrowed unconsciously; there was something new and intense about listening to music that way.
It felt so intimate and sounded so clear that Khonshu was reminded of the wonders humans were capable of.
Flashbacks, just like the ones Jake had experienced a few days earlier, flooded him. In these flashbacks, a beautiful young woman spun around him, dancing with complete joy, making him laugh and follow her clumsily.
"Hathor, that's enough." He didn't recognize his own voice inside his head. The girl took his hand, and he held it steady so she could twirl around on her own axis, her hair going everywhere as the music filled both of their ears. "Isn't it wonderful, Khonshu?" It was like listening to you. "The music?" "You are wonderful, my dear." His human body responded in amusing ways to the girl, blushing his cheeks and feeling what some called butterflies in his stomach.
The memory disappeared before he could receive a kiss from his beloved.
He blinked rapidly when he opened his eyes, trying to bring himself back to the reality where you were looking at him, with a million questions in your head.
"Dear?" He murmured one last time before his daydream vanished. In a matter of seconds, he stood up, causing you to startle in surprise.
"Khonshu?" Your voice mixed with hers in his mind, sounding almost identical. The corporeal being increased the intensity of everything by 200%, and it almost made the human body he had borrowed faint.
He fled from you, fled from the house.
And Jake never told you that accepting Khonshu into his body to let him get close to you felt like having his bones broken one by one, making him feel claustrophobic and disgusted.
Tumblr media
In the second week, there was a moment when you momentarily thought you were in the presence of Khonshu because of the expression on Jake's face.
He looked upset, scared, and anxious, all bundled up together. It was 3 in the morning, and you were on your second glass of water while leaning against the kitchen counter, still sore but becoming easier to bear.
"I thought you wouldn't come today," you whispered with a faint smile as he got rid of his cap, letting it fall anywhere in the living room. He didn't respond, following you into the kitchen and looking at you intently for a few seconds.
Up close, you could see that his eyes were red and irritated.
You didn't say anything when he hugged you. Not even when he squeezed you in his arms, causing your ribs to ache. You just raised a hand and gently ran your fingers through his curls, trying to offer some comfort.
It was only then that you noticed Jake was trembling.
Tumblr media
"And is your job to be a vigilante?"
"My job is to obey Khonshu." He rolled his eyes, certain that you had had this conversation on previous occasions. He could hear the cereal crunching in your mouth as he waited for his to soften with the milk.
Steven deprived him of the few pleasures in life he could have, without even knowing it. Unfortunately, real milk was one of them.
"And what do you do for him?"
"Things."
"What kind of things?"
"How can you eat the cereal like that? Doesn't it feel like it's scraping your palate?"
"How can you eat it when it turns into a thick, disgusting soup?"
"Good point." He took a spoonful of his cereal. It was just right.
"In the daylight, you look completely different."
"How so?"
"I don't know, you just do."
Jake didn't say it out loud, but it was quite funny considering that he was, in fact, someone quite different, or something quite similar.
"How's your leg doing? Do you think it's getting better?" An expert at changing the subject.
"I think so. Some days it hurts a lot, but it's only been two weeks and a few days."
"Are you counting the days to leave?"
"Yes." You pursed your lips, and Jake looked away before you could correct yourself. "Because I don't want to leave."
Tumblr media
Since you arrived, you took over Jake's bed against your will. He insisted on sleeping on a sad inflatable mattress that squeaked every time he moved.
One early morning, you felt the mattress sink beside you, and you didn't even have time to be startled because the scent of your temporary roommate's cologne filled your lungs in a matter of seconds.
"Are you okay?" You whispered without turning to look at him, keeping your eyes closed even when you felt him wrap an arm around your waist. "Okay, you can sleep here then," you continued when you received no response to your first question.
He pulled you closer to his body, and you didn't protest; instead, you turned to bury yourself in his chest, seeking more of his warmth. It seemed the pain was more bearable when your muscles warmed up.
Jake moved away from you, just enough to see your face.
You opened your eyes as he held your chin and gently pulled it to bring you closer to him. The last thing you saw before closing your eyes again were those enormous white irises fixed on you.
He kissed you. He kissed you until your lips hurt, and your chin from the firmness of his grip. But you didn't want to pull away; there was something so familiar about his lips that you wondered if it was because they were actually Jake's lips or if there was something more that you weren't understanding.
You could swear he caressed and kissed you for hours, although the next day you had no evidence to confirm whether it was a memory or a strange dream.
Tumblr media
"Have you ever considered quitting?" You stirred your cereal in your plate, refusing to look up at him.
By week number 4, your encounters with Jake had become increasingly rare. He was quiet, distant, never with you, but more aggressive than usual, and his shirts filled the washing machine with blood, making you feel nauseous from time to time.
Wasn't the suit supposed to be worn during his missions? What kind of missions was he taking?
"Quit?" he echoed.
"To stop working for him." You felt uncomfortable mentioning his name after countless nights spent kissing, of which you weren't even sure if Jake was aware because he never brought it up.
He was aware. How could he not be when every night he felt physically and emotionally crushed?
"I can't do that." And he was right. If it were up to him, he would flee without caring about the consequences, but Jake was there for the sake of Marc and Steven. He had no problem with his efforts going unrecognized by them; he knew they were better off not knowing he existed.
"Why?" You gently lifted his chin with your fingers, making him look at you. It was a way to remind him that he wasn't alone, that you were there.
"I can't," he repeated softly. He closed his eyes, resting his chin against your hand as a puppy would.
You leaned in and, this time, when the edge of the table pressed against your ribs, it didn't hurt as much. You kissed the boy's lips.
"It's killing you." It was the last thing you said before getting up to collect the almost full plates from the table.
Tumblr media
Jake had a kind of day off as your stay was coming to an end. Your body was hardly hurting anymore, and for several days, you could walk on your own. Now, all that was left was to enjoy your last time there, and you were doing just that.
Your legs were resting on top of Jake's while you both watched a silly program about people addicted to eating strange things.
"You should be on there for eating softened cereal," you said, trying not to laugh as your cheek was pressed against his chest, his arm around your shoulders.
"And you should be there for drinking pineapple juice like it's water; that stuff is going to kill you," he retorted, rolling his eyes but laughing.
"I'll die happy," you clarified, clearing your throat after a moment of silence to get his attention. "Jake?"
"Yes?"
"I don't want to go."
"Then don't go."
"You know I can't do that." And yes, he knew. He knew you couldn't stay in his apartment forever and that even if you continued whatever you had, there was no guarantee you would still be interested in him from a different perspective.
How would you react to knowing about Marc and Steven? Or about the things he did at night when his hands were stained with blood?
"You won't push me away, will you?" Jake had never heard himself so vulnerable, but a few days ago, he had realized that it was worth lowering his guard when it came to you. "I don't want to be alone."
"I won't, Jake." You whispered with a small smile, extending your pinkie finger to him.
He intertwined his pinkie with yours, trying not to laugh.
"Pinkie promise," you said, squeezing his pinkie with yours.
You didn't find out what happened on the show beyond that person who ate dressing with everything. You were too distracted by Jake's lips to pay attention to anything else.
Tumblr media
For the fourth mental breakdown of Jake that you had to witness, you were fed up. Not with him, not with the repeated breakdowns, but with knowing that it was Khonshu who was tearing him apart. Sometimes physically, always mentally.
"You have to let him go," you said as soon as you saw him enter through the door, his white irises betraying that you were speaking to whom you wanted to talk.
"I can't," his voice echoed in your head, you were so used to hearing him whisper or not speak at all that it took you by surprise, indeed.
"Set him free, Khonshu." Your tone was threatening. Poor foolish girl, just because the deity never showed you what he was capable of didn't mean you were an exception. His rules were always fulfilled, for better or worse.
To him, your voice also merged with that of his former beloved.
"You're killing him." Your hands pushed him in the chest, you couldn't remember ever feeling so angry before, it burned inside you.
He didn't flinch.
"Dear…"
"I'm not her!" You exploded after a few seconds. "I'm not Hathor!"
"I'm not going to free Jake, we have a deal."
"I don't give a fuck about your stupid deal. He deserves to be free."
"You know nothing about him." His body leaned slightly to look at you, he tapped your nose. It was a condescending gesture, making you feel like a little child. "He's a broken man, my dear," he continued before you could correct him. "Even if I set him free, he would never be happy with that. He is created to protect other lives, not to live his own, do you understand?"
His tone was so calm that it scared you, but you didn't back down.
"And what do you know about being happy, huh?"
Oh, you were going to hit below the belt.
"You lost the one you loved, and you will never get her back." You spat the words without looking away. "No one will ever care about you again."
Lie. Lie. In fact, he had managed to convince you that you could be devoted to him in a short time, but Jake had become your priority even faster.
"You are free to leave." He swallowed hard, but the carefree expression on his face didn't vanish. There was still something more painful about it, as if it were Jake himself telling you this. "You're just a weakness for him, it's better if you go now before it's too late."
Tumblr media
The eighth week was spent in your home, your empty and cold apartment that suddenly felt so unfamiliar to you.
Every morning, you would watch your cereal soften with the milk until it became repulsive. Apparently, your appetite had vanished without warning.
You avoided touching your phone because every time it was on, you would find missed messages and calls from Jake. Did you miss him? With every bone in your body, but you couldn't live knowing that Jake was slowly being torn apart, it wouldn't be good for you.
You simply hoped that he had found your note saying goodbye and thanking him, and every night you prayed to the moon that he was okay. That he wasn't hurt, that he would find a way out of where he was.
Perhaps that way, both of you could be happy together.
The truth was that you left him shattered. He questioned himself a million times about what he had done wrong and why you had suddenly fled without letting him know. Every night, his heart ached, and coming back to his apartment was the worst part of the day. He had never noticed how lonely and dark it was until you were gone. Whenever possible, he tried to locate you with his phone, and sometimes he read your old messages where you asked him to bring something special for dinner or simply more of the pineapple juice on different occasions. Although he supposed, based on your words in the letter, that you had left thinking you were doing him a favor, the truth was that he had never felt so lost.

Bleed For Me pt.1
Makarov x black reader
warnings: Yandere themes, slapping, makarov looses his shit, killing, mentions of reader having braids, mentions of sex without aftercare
Tumblr media
Russia was bound to be cold. That, y/n knew. But she didn’t expect it to rain so hard. The dark, cloudy skies provided her a way to maneuver in the dark. A sharp dagger she’d taken from Makarov was hidden in her pocket as she pressed her back up against the wall. A pair of footsteps came closer to her, prompting the darker skinned woman to pull out her weapon. Her trained fingers gripping onto the dagger tightly.
Bending her knees she watched the floor to see a shadows from the man. Once she did she waited a few more seconds before lunging out and driving the knife into the guards throat skillfully. Twisting the knife she pulled it out, letting the man that was twice her size fall to the floor. She crouched down, searching the guard. To her luck she found a gun on him, some money and a key card. Looking around, her hands gripped the guards legs, dragging him into the dark and hiding the body within the shadows.
Y/n would have to move quick. It’d only be a matter of time before Makarov realized that his ‘loving’ girlfriend was gone. Y/n’s cheek still stung from the harsh slap she’d received from Makarov during their argument earlier.
Y/n could remember the anger she’d harbored for some time. She was in their shared room- or now Makarov’s room. It was the third time Makarov slept with y/n without giving her any type of aftercare. The bruises on her body ached and tears welled up in her eyes but she held them back. She would not cry over something like this. For the last year it felt as if Makarov no longer cared for the poor girl. He was always at meetings, making deals and killing civilians. So y/n did what she did best. She packed up and got ready to leave.
“And where are you going?” Y/n’s movements didn’t stop as she calmly folded the pair of pants. “Somewhere.” Y/n said vaguely which only made the males eyebrows furrow in annoyance.
“You’re not leaving.” Makarov said as he leaned on the doorway, preventing y/n from leaving.
“I am and I will.” Y/n retorted as she opened her bedside drawer and pulled out a dagger that Makarov had personalized just for her. He did it to teach her how to fight, not knowing that her parents used to make her fight within an underground arena as the young age of sixteen. It was illegal, and under the table. No one put it on any of her records, it was something to be buried in her ‘past life’.
“Why is that? You have everything you need here. I give you everything you could ever want. Jewelry, I take you to high class restaurants, galas…anywhere you wanted to go I’ve taken you to. So why leave?” Makarov was partially right. He spent copious amounts of money. But y/n don’t want the money.
“It….feels like you don’t care for me anymore.” Y/n whispered as she stood up from kneeling beside the dresser, stuffing the dagger in her pocket. She flinched when Makarov’s arms snaked around her waist. He pushed her braids away from the side of her neck. The hickeys on her neck from last night were still fresh. “And you think that because…?” Makarov trailed off, waiting for you to answer as he kissed your neck. It was the most affection he’d given you in weeks, that didn’t involve in sex.
“You’re no longer affectionate with me. Anything that dosn’t involve sleeping with me you don’t want to do. You’re aggressive and overprotective to the point I feel as if I’m suffocating.” Y/n said honestly. Makarov’s grip tightened.
“You know I’m busy-“
“But you’re free to fuck me every other day?” Y/n cut him off. Her tone surprised him. His manipulation tactics were no longer working.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Makarov asked as he kissed your cheek. “You know I’d drop everything for you.” He whispered tenderly, his hands going under your shirt. Y/n already knew where this was going. She immediately shook him off. “This is what I’m talking about! You’re insufferable!-“
She hadn’t even realized what had happened until this sharp noise had echoed throughout the air. Her cheek throbbing in pain. But she didn’t react, she was in shock. Makarov never put his hands on her before.
Immediately he took his chance. Pushing y/n up against the wall, he grabbed her face tightly. Putting pressure on the tender spot. Making y/n wince.
“You will listen and you will listen close.” Makarov growled, pushing his body up against her own. “Yell at me again and I will cut your tongue. If you even speak about leaving me again I will cut your tongue. Do I make myself clear?” When y/n didn’t answer Makarov snatched the dagger from within her pocket, putting the cold metal up against her throat. “Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?” He asked darkly to which y/n nodded slowly. Makarov pushed her head into the wall, making a loud thudding noise as the back of her skull came in contact with the wall. Y/n didn’t cry out in pain, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing he hurt her.
As Makarov turned to leave, y/n swift and nimble hands pulled out the spare dagger he had on his thigh holster, efficiently hiding it as he slammed the door shut.
And that’s why she was here now. Taking one more look around her surroundings, y/n stood up from her position next to the dead body and maneuvered within the shadows. The bloodied knife and pistol now in her grasp as she moved thought the base. She almost forgot what it was like to live like this. All the years of being pampered by Makarov almost made her forget what it’s like to be in the run, to fend for your life.
Just as y/n made it out the doors she heard Makarov’s voice. Yelling commands at his soldiers to search the base for you. Just then, y/n pulled her hood over her freshly done hair before hopping over a wall.

All righty
Ethan Winters Yuu-Except being a hybrid of mold there a hybrid of blot.They survive shit they weren't supposed ,lived through being burned, ripped up by leaves,and water blasted with the force of a power washer.
How Ethan got his heart ripped out by Mother Miranda.Yuu has there heart ripped or pierced either by lida or malleus.lida probably, then after doing a test finding out Yuu is more blot then human.
"Get up your journey's not done yet.You are still needed."
After Grim's overblot is defected they are fill with a sense of relief "It's over everyone's fine,we won,we won. Grim is breatheing.Its over"
Think of that scene of Ethan handing off rose but it's grim to Ace and Decue.This is when you body breaks apart,well Yuu just laughing saying, "We won boys come on,we won it's over".
Ace and Decue are just holding you ,well you body breaks apart in to blot or ashe.There will be no funeral to attend because there will be no body.The only thing left of them is the black and white tie of there unform.
Yuu died with a smile on your face. Completed what you where brought here to do.Like a true hero.
"The Aftermath"- Yuu is Dead
Soooo I kinda got carried away… This is after Yuu dies as i feel it would be much more angsty... Can be interpreted as suicide. Ortho is with the first year squad and admires Yuu as a sibling/parent. Gender Neutral.
There was a storm over the entirety of the Sage Isles since last week, courtesy of Malleus’ foul mood. No one could blame him though, for he was mourning his only friend. Everyone felt the impact of Yuu’s… disappearance as some called it, too afraid to call it as it was— death. There was nobody found, so how could they be so sure Yuu died?
They were lost, poofed back to their own world, alive and well— an idea Crowley even encouraged, he couldn’t handle the guilt. It leads to a lot of tension between certain groups of friends. Disgusted about the events that transpired. If Crowley was just a bit more competent…
"I hope Yuu is okay back home” “For the last time Kalim— They. Are. Dead."
“Even I thought you were more mature than that, Floyd, they’re gone.”
“In all of my years of living, I have seen people come and go, yet the pain of losing someone stays the same.”
“Yuu still isn’t back huh?”
Survivors' guilt was rampant. If only I were stronger, a certain wolf thinks to himself. If only I was more supportive, another duo agree. If only I listened for once, a croco-fae cries. If only I predicted this, a bot calculates. If only I was a real man, a farmer mourns. If only I were less greedy, the octopus sighs, curling away. If only I wasn’t so closed off, a servant huffs. If only I was kinder, the lion concludes. If only I wasn’t so vain, the queen mumbles. If only I tried to see things from their perspective a rose groans. If only I was braver, a fiery figure lamented. If only I was there, a dragon grieved. If only I didn’t— a housecat cuts himself off.
Ramshackle was duller than ever. A few students leave offerings and gifts on their doorstep. No one dares to touch them. Friends going inside to help clean. Even Jack found himself wandering into Yuu’s room, remembering how barren it is. Nothing to call their own. They never had a single personal item that they could claim as theirs. Nothing to remember them by. Ace finds himself laying on Yuu’s bed, remembering when he first slept over
Sebek struggles to walk through the door. Epel can only sit in the living room with his memory of the camp that was held here. Deuce can only pace around the dusty house, trying to tidy here and there. Yuu’s death hasn’t truly hit him yet, it hasn’t really sunk in for anyone yet, actually— judging by the fact Ortho is still calculating the possibilities of Yuu being alive that is.
Grim can’t even stand being in Ramshackle anymore. He sleeps in Ace and Deuce’s shared room, on the tie they left behind. He refuses to wash it in fear it will lose Yuu’s scent. May god have mercy on the first person to try and touch it. No one really knows what to do…
Sam gave away many free items to students so they can also make offerings. It’s the least he could do for the little imp. Vargas couldn’t push his students to do their best in P.E, he couldn’t blame them, even he has lost some motivation. Perhaps he should start a self-defense routine to teach students. Vargas remembers the many bruises and wounds on Yuu’s body from their many fights.
Trein was also much more light in his lectures. The loss of Yuu was heavy on his heart. He saw them as another child of his and even told his daughters about them. He remembered how they wrote about wanting to meet their honorary sibling. What was he going to tell them? He couldn’t save the only other addition he had to his family. It was like losing his beloved all over again. 
Crewel was distraught. Yuu was his pup, you know? Yuu was one of the most responsible and kind students there were on this campus. They always went out of their way to help everyone. They were roped into everything. Yet they studied hard and always did the best in class. He often found himself left with them or working with them. He remembers draping his coat over Yuu when they fell asleep in his classroom after they passed out from exhaustion from their hard work. A domestic moment he hoped to have more of. They didn’t have parents right? Crewel never fancied himself a father figure but...
At least Yuu will hopefully rest easy knowing that there are no more blots causing issues.
A few more weeks passed, and many more went to leave an offering at the graveyards around Ramshackle. The first years have all decided to go visit Ramshackle together, hoping it could help with the mourning process. The whole way Ortho held Grim and buried his face in his fur to dry his tears. Jack held the child’s hand as they approached the dorm.
The solemn atmosphere between the group turned to shock when they see the state of the dorm. Run down and being torn apart. Crowley stood in front of the dorm as many sports club members helped to prepare for demolition. 
“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS CROWLEY?! THIS IS YUU’S DORM!” Crowley paused, the usual eccentric headmage now solemn. He turned around to face the young men, all of them in states of anger and shock.
“I am well aware of that, young Zigvolt. However, since this dorm is no longer in use there is no need to keep it around. It was costing too much in maintenance anyways.”
The crew’s eyes widened, Ortho shook his head in disbelief. “What in tha hell?!” “You can’t just destroy it!” Deuce sputters out in shock. Ace nodded in agreement, brows knit together. “Yeah, Deuce is right! There’s so many memories in here. Ones with Yuu—“
“Which is precisely why it must be destroyed.” Crowley retorts, his voice leaving no room for debate. “No one can bear to be around that dorm anymore.”
Ortho sobbed, “Y-you can't just do that! I won’t let you. They’re like my big bro! This is all I have left of them!” “I’m sorry Ortho, but it must be that way.” Jack tsked “So is that how’re your gonna be headmage.” You could practically see the disgust in Jack's eyes. A vein was threatening to burst out of Epel's head, Sebek looked on with a mix of pure shock and rage.
Deuce tried to hold back his delinquent side as he held onto Ortho to soothe the child, allowing the boy to hold onto his blazer and sob. Ortho allowed himself to let go of Jack's hand. Ace was so close to just going up and punching Crowley, the same way he did to Riddle. Until...
Grim piped up. “W-well now that Yuu is gone, I can be housewarden now! You can’t just destroy my dorm!” “If you remember what I said at the beginning of the year, you and Yuu were only half of a student. Now that they are gone, you can no longer attend Night Raven College.” “NYANI?!” “If you all want something from the dorm, get it now before it is completely scrapped.”
“So you’re kicking Grim out now too?!” barked the redhead, absolute disbelief dripping out of his words. “Yes,” Crowley replied, coldly, cruelly. It was off-putting. “If it wasn’t for him, Yuu would still be here, wouldn’t they?”

Five times Gaz pinned hard for his captain and one time he got what he wanted. 
Not exactly ''pining hard'' but kinda too
The first time Kyle saw John Price and not just a brave captain was in a dark but noisy plane. It was a simple touch, Price probably did it as an automatism.   They had worked a handful of times already, always talked strictly business. Gaz liked it that way, less of a risk of grieving once shit hit the fan. Still, he felt a lot of admiration for Price.   He was tired as fuck in that plane, the few last days really taking a toll on his body. His bed now abandoned for a week entirely. He slept either in barracks (he still hasn’t visited the main base Price works from, where he’ll get his own quarters) or on the ground where he could take a break.   '’Almost over.’’ Kyle was brought out of his reveries by the gruff voice of Price. The older man was sitting beside him, looking at him. He brought his hand to Kyle’s nape and squeezed it affectionately. It was nothing, really. But for some reason the warmth brought by his hand spread throughout his entire body, and he was suddenly exhausted.   ‘’Sleep, I’ll wake you when we get there.’’ Kyle hesitated. Not that he didn’t trust the man, but he didn’t want to seem weak. But in the end, he was already nodding off, so he simply put his cap over his eyes and slept for the next hour.  
A week later, they finally got to Price’s main base, where Gaz would spend most of his free time from now on. It didn’t matter to him. The last few years he’d have the easy life, even getting an apartment. It had killed him to stay there, knowing he could do so much more.   He didn’t get to relax much the first two days he was there. Reports needed to be made, and as much as he hated doing them, he knew Price had much more than him to fill out.   It’s two days in, when he was almost done and back from a shower, that Price came knocking at his door.   ‘’Hi, sir. What brings you here?’’ Price was big, filling up the frame of his door, looking somewhat awkward as he entered the small room. There was a single bed, a locker and a flimsy desk with an uncomfortable chair.   ‘’Just coming to check up on you. How’re doing here?’’ He looked around, not quite impressed with the space. He was making Gaz a bit self-conscious.    ‘’I’m doing fine, sir, thank you.’’ At that, Price looked at him, suspicious. He motioned to the bed while he took seat, the wooden chair creaking under his weight.    ‘’C’mon, you can talk to me. I know it’s not an ideal situation, changing team and base even.’’ He said, joining his hands together. Kyle was sitting up straight on the hard mattress. ‘’I knew what I was getting into, sir. I’m fine reall-’’ Price held up a hand to cut him off.   ‘’We’re not talking as captain and sergeant, here. Drop the sir. I know it was your choice. You still have the right to be uncomfortable, and if you need some additional time off or bigger quarters, I can arrange it.’’ This felt weird. Like he was being treated as an equal.   Actually... He *was* being treated as an equal. Since they first met, too. Price was always asking for his opinion and ideas, guiding him rather than barking out orders.   ‘’You’re okay, Garrick?’’ Kyle looked at Price, surprised. Price was looking at him... Concerned. He wasn’t just another soldier to be sacrificed.   ‘’Yeah.’’ Kyle cleared his throat, looking away. ‘’Thank you, Price. I’ll tell you if I need anything.’’ This must've been what he wanted to hear, because Price smiled warmly at him and straighten his back. Kyle couldn’t help but smile too.   ‘’Alright. Soap’s gonna get here tomorrow, we’re going out for drinks with him and a couple of sergeants, you’re welcome if you want to join. ‘’ Kyle nodded, his body relaxing. Price left after that, leaving him to finally rest.  
A couple of weeks passed by, and Gaz was getting well used to the new team. Soap, or MacTavish, became a friend the first time they met. For now, the TF141 would only consist of them and Ghost, the legend. The other officers on base weren’t any trouble, not minding a new face at all. From what he’d heard, groups of recruits or new privates would come in every couple of months to train.   That day, Gaz had files to file and a body to train. A short and easy day.   After about an hour in his training, as he was getting off a machine, he spotted Price at the bench press. He was looking around, probably for a spotter, and Kyle jumped at the opportunity. He trained with Soap and some other sergeants, but he never even saw Price in the gym. Even now, Price was wearing a sweater and some huge gym shorts.   He was staring to think Price was out of shape.   ‘’Hey, Gaz! Perfect timing.’’ Price said, as soon as he saw Gaz walk towards him.   ‘’Looking for a spotter, sir?’’ Gaz said, full of smiles. He never really dropped the ‘sir’, as asked, but his attitude did change. He was always more relaxed with Price than any other higher officers. He felt like he could tell him anything.   ‘’Sure am. I’ll spot you after.’’ Price was looking at the weights, and Gaz couldn’t help but wonder which one he’ll take. Probably can’t lift more than 150lb with how often he trains. It would match what he saw of Price’s body shape.   To his surprise, Price took out 250lb in total. He looked at the younger man with a naïve smile.   ‘’Should be a decent warm-up, don’t ya think? ‘’ Gaz could only nod in agreement. Usually, his warm-ups were 200lb.   Price took off his sweater and for a second Kyle thought he was reliving his teenage years. Why did the world enter slow-motion when Price lifted his shirt? Why were they sparkles where his form was visible?   Why did he suddenly want to be a bar of bench press being lifted so easily by Price? Why did he have this horny feeling anytime Price asked him to add some weights.   Gaz prides himself in being a strong man, physically but mostly mentally. After all, you need a damn strong mind to do this job. But training weights Price without getting an erection must be in his top 5 hardest missions.   Because while Price was silent when getting spotted, it’s different when the roles are reversed. He signs praises to Gaz, mixing casual conversation with praises and encouragement.   Kyle knew he was gay, but it’s never been a problem at his job before. And he never thought he had any kink, but here he was.   He started to regret working out with Price, as he stood under a cold shower to soothe his muscles. See, he tried to match Price’s weights. Yes, he’s a bit competitive, sue him.  He ran a hand on his nape, shivering as he remembered when Price squeezed it just as they parted ways.   Turns out he has a crush on his captain. It explains so much of the recent weeks. And now it’ll only get worse, because he’s aware of it.  
Many months later, Gaz thinks about this cold shower full of questions as he nurses a drink at the bar. They killed Hassan and after a week to recuperate they all joined together to celebrate. They almost all died. Gaz saw Price get shot right in front of him, he really thought it was the end back there.   He felt a familiar warm hand settle at his nape to squeeze once.   ‘’You’re okay?’’ Price was looking at him with his soft concerned eyes.  Kyle couldn’t help but smile dumbly at him. He can't help it, he’s just so happy to see him alive, even after a week.   ‘’You’re a wee bit drunk, heh?’’ he told him, laughing a bit with him.   ‘’No, sir. ‘’ Kyle tried to say seriously, but looking at how Price was smiling at him it didn’t work. ‘’M not drunk, sir. ‘M happy. ‘’   ‘’You sure are.’’ Gaz shook his head, getting his face closer to Price’s.   ‘’I was so scared to lose you, so I’m happy to see you. I was so so scared... ‘’  ‘’Garrick..’’   ‘’Call me Kyle, please?’’ Gaz was having a somewhat clear head as he looked directly into Price’s eyes. Price looked... Nervous.   ‘’Kyle... What are you trying to do?’’ Gaz frowned a bit. What was he trying to do? He looked down at Price’s lips. Ah, that’s it.   But before he could do anything about it, Price pushed him away and stood up.   ‘’You’re drunk. Let’s get you home.’’ And as he usually does, Gaz followed the order. He had the idea that maybe Price would kiss him once in private. But he really just put him to bed and left him alone.   And... Kyle was grateful.  
Weeks passed, again. They had a couple of intel missions to find Makarov, without much success. Price was tired, Kyle was too. They were all.   This time, Kyle was standing in front of the door to Price’s office. It was midnight and he could still hear his captain working. He knocked and entered with a cup of tea.   ‘’Garrick, you should be asleep.’’ He looked up from his computer, he was wearing a tiny pair of glasses.   ‘’I could say the same, sir. ‘’ He joined him behind the desk and gave him his cup. Price tried to reprimand with his eyes but couldn’t refuse the cup.  ‘’Losing sleep won’t bring him closer, you know.’’ Kyle said after a minute of silence.   ‘’Sounds like something I heard before.’’   ‘’A wise old man told me this, once.’’   ‘’Old?! I’m 38 you brat.’’ Kyle snickered at that, then leaned forwards to be closer to Price.   ‘’With how little you’re sleeping, you have the face of a 60-year-old man.’’   ‘’That’s not true.’’   ‘’No. But you should sleep more.’’ Price looked at him like he asked the impossible, a bit annoyed.   ‘’We’re worried about you. ‘’ He added, then gave price his kicked puppy eyes. Apparently, that worked super well, Soap said. ‘’Anytime you ask something and look pitiful he says yes! You should do it more often and see his limit!’’  '’Please?’’ Price looked at him annoyed, but Kyle could see him slowly giving in. He suddenly groaned and looked away.   ‘’Okay! I’m going to sleep. ‘’ He stood up, murmuring a ‘’demon...’’. Kyle looked at him longer, to which Price cocked a brow. ‘’Anything else, Garrick?’’ He was a bit emboldened, now. Price did act different towards him. And if he remembers correctly, he refused the kiss because he was drunk, last time.   ‘’Yes, actually...’’ He took a step forward to enter the older man’s personal space, already putting a hand on his shoulder.   ‘’Just... Just this once...’’ He was so close to his him, he could smell him. If he wasn’t so focused on his lips, he would nuzzle in his neck to smell him better. Kyle was euphoric, feeling Price’s breathe and beating heart, as if they were melting into each other. But right as he was closing the gap, Price diverged his head and hugged him instead. ''Give me some time, you're too fast.'' Kyle was disappointed, yes, but hopeful. He felt the same, he just needed to wait. So he hugged him close and breathed him in.
Kyle waited. He waited for a year, almost forgot about it but thankfully his heart kept reminding him. He lost hope a couple of times, wondering if it was simply a way to reject him without breaking his heart. Makarov was found and killed, not without casualties. Ghost almost burned alive, same for Soap. He himself was almost shot in the head. Price was captured once and tortured for a couple of hours before they could find him. It was a miracle that they were all alive. They took a month of break to all recover before they joined together to celebrate. A week into it, Price called Kyle, inviting him over to dinner. Both didn't drink much. They talked a bit then put on a movie to fill the silence. Kyle could feel that Price wanted to tell him something, but he gave him time. At the end of the movie, he felt the older man shift. When he looked at him, he cupped his face with his hands. ''I'm sorry it took so long. I'm a coward.'' And finally, their lips connected. It was soft, but confident, like everything Kyle hoped.
This would be a 100k slowburn if I was a writer, unfortunately this is the best I have to offer. You can imagine all the in between scenes of pinning (from both sides) and almost kissing by yourselves
I had a lot of detailed ideas for this but left it in my notes for a month so I forgot everything, so that's why it's a bit short
Also, again, I'm not a writer

FEM ALIGNED DO NOT INTERACT
This is NOT an apocalypse yuu fic. Sorry if you clicked on this and got disappointed.
Yuus pronouns are he/him
Chacter: Ace
Notes: this is kind of open ended. I have to write in stealth mode now so it would take a while for something more. You guys eat Mexican food in this because Mexican food is the closest thing to heaven on Earth.

Someone's been stealing your cologne. On another note, your best friend is starting to smell like you.
Someone's been stealing your cologne.
It wasn't really noticeable at first, but after throwing away your second bottle in three months, you began to get suspicious.
The colonge you wore was strong, so it wasn't like you had to spray it a whole bunch of times to get it to stick. Just in the morning when you woke up and after PE.
You knew you weren't doing it any more than that, so where the hell did it all go?
You sighed. You were too tired for this. Morning classes had been currently kicking your ass. Well, they had always been kicking your ass, but it's been worse these past few days.
Grim was being a little shit. That bit hadn't changed, although according to Ace, Grim actually actually acts worse whenever you step out of the room. So Grim was somewhat saving you from annoyance at 8am and a headache. Small mercies.
Oh yeah.
Speaking of Ace. He'd been acting weird lately.
it wasn't strange for Ace, or any of the first years really, to spend the night at Ramshackle. Showing up in your dorm and staying there like a particularly determined cockroach seemed to be your dumbass friends first reaction to any real minor inconvenience.
Want to get away from your overbearing house warden for the night? Ramshackle.
Need a quiet place to study? Ramshackle.
You just spent one whole day without seeing your precious young master and need to stake out the one place he goes to get away from you? Ramshackle.
All in all, you were pretty used to waking up from one of your weird ass dreams about that one time you and your friend ate an entire Little Cesear's pizza in a church parking lot at the crackhead hours of the night, only to sit up and find someone duct taped to your wall, perfectly pasted out. While the perpetrators were peacefully sleeping on the floor under them. Curled up with one of the spare blankets that you keep laid out for this exact reason.
Or they're, you know, under your bed.
(Seriously Epel what the fuck)
So Ace being there? not suprising.
Ace being there alone, without at least Deuce there to babysit his ginger ass? Weird, but bound to happen sooner or later.
But Ace being there almost every day? Even after Riddle himself came knocking on your door once to drag him back to Heartslabyul? Yeah. No sorry, something was up.
Your mind races as it tried to come up with possibility after possibility, only to wind up with answers that didn't hold much substance to them, and could easily be disproved.
Riddle was being more overbearing lately?
Nah, if he was then deuce would've mentioned it. Also, you can't remember Ace showing up on your doorstep wearing an iconic heart-shaped collar recently. So that was a no.
Ace finally got fed up with all the weird noises Deuce makes in his sleep?
Possibly. But Deuce had spent the night over at Ramshackle just last week, and Ace made no obvious signs that he was having trouble sleeping right through the absolute wild shit Deuce was saying while unconscious.
He just slept better over here?
Your eyes immediately darted towards Grim and the ghosts.
Yeah, that idea was out.
So, with a little too much resolve, you took a deep breath and buried your face in your gloved hands as you sighed.
You could feel yourself sink down into the couch that took you what felt like forever to build. Oh yeah, and overpriced fabric you bought at the school store. Can't forget about that.
The fire crackled and Grim stopped his argument with the ghosts to look at you as you ran your fingers through your hair. Whoops.
You looked over at them with a face that you just knew showed exactly how tired you were with this.
Don't get the wrong idea here. Ace was certainly a handful but he wasn't really exhausting, he was quite the pleasure to be around actually.
When he wanted to be that was.
You don't know why you started thinking so hard about this. Maybe because exams were coming up and you needed a distraction.
Or maybe it was because he was being rather sweet on you lately. Well, as sweet as Ace could get.
You sighed again, and flopped your head against the back of the chair.
You should probably go to sleep.
.
.
.
Listen. Ace didn’t mean for any of this to happen. It just did and he doesn't know why.
He thinks it started when he woke up at Ramshackle after he stayed over dor the weekend and realized he forgot to bring his uniform shirt.
No big deal really. He could just grab one of your and return it the next day.
He thought.
Seriously, you didn't even notice! He'd probably have it returned by tomorrow morning!
He thought.
He thought until the compliments started rolling in.
The first one came from Cater, when he leaned in and asked if there was a new trend going around with sandlewood.
He was confused to day the least.
Then came Epel. Who asked to borrow whatever scent he was wearing to cover the flowery perfume he was wearing while still staying on Vils good side, since he would still smell nice.
Ace was getting a little creeped out at this point.
Then Jack of all people came up to him, sniffed the air like the dog he was, and nodded approvingly before walking away.
Ok. What the hell is going on?
He knew damn well he didn't wear sandalwood. And although the compliments were nice, save for the occasional passive aggressive ones from some upperclassmen with a stick up their ass, he still didn't know what to do with them.
So he did the only thing he could think of, and went to a mostly private area and started smelling his clothes like a weirdo.
Waistcoat, blazer, tie, they were all fine.
His shirt however, was what made him pause.
Oh yeah. This wasn't his.
...
If he stayed there for a minute longer with his friends shirt up against his nose like some sort of serial killer, then that was between him and the seven.
No one else needed to know.
True to his silent promise, he put in the request to riddle to saty another night at Ramshackle and all but ran over there.
He needed to return this ASAP.
But when he actually gets to your little run down dorm, he immediately stumbles on what to do. He didn't bring another shirt with him, so he would be taking your clothes either way.
Ace briefly considers turning back.
Ace then remembers its almost curfew and he'd have to face the wrath of one riddle rosehearts if he actually went back to the dorm.
Deuce can cover for him.
He better cover for him or ace was gonna snitch on him for eating an entire tart after he smoked weed with that epel kid.
Oh look, more blackmail! Nice.
And so, mind officially made up, he walked (strutted) up to the front door and knocked on it three times.
Inside, he could he the who knows how old staircase creak as you rushed down, and he could smell the savory scent of those weird sandwich things that you liked cooking.
("Perfect, what the hell is that?")
"..."
"You don't know what a taco is?")
Ace could feel himself smile.
Yeah, he made the right choice coming here.
The door swung open and that belief solidified.
That food smelled glorious.
Ace swears, whoever invented those taco sandwich thing is a damn genius.
And you looked ok he guessed.
You were still in your school pants, always eing a little too lazy to switch those out for regular ones when the last bell rang, but you did replace your shirt and blazer with a soft, expensive looking sweater that probably came from Crewel.
Crewel had taken pity on you in the first week of school and agreed to tutor you after class. And then you ended up teaching him about one of your friends dogs, whose specific breed didn't exist here.
From that point on, it was pretty clear that everyone's number one nightmare teacher had a favorite. Although you swore up and down you never got any special treatment.
Ace looked at the sweater again.
Yeah. Ok yuu. Ok.
You gave a little lazy smile and waved him in, not bothering to make sure he followed as you made your way towards the kitchens.
Judging from the lack of noise in there, Grim not included, you were alone tonight, which Ace could only sigh in relief about.
Sometimes, at least once a week, he would see Jade and Ruggie either walking around the dorm one second and then somehow seeing him in the kitchen the next (Jade), or rummaging through your spice drawer as you pretended not to notice the few extra jars of chili powder that mysteriously went missing afterwards (Ruggie).
He never knew why you never stopped him. You had less money than he did for sevens sake!
Ace never dared to ask these questions to you out loud though, just accepted that you were disgustingly nice and moved on with his day.
Now, he was grateful that you were so disgustingly nice, because this food was amazing.
There were plates and bowls in the middle of the table, all filled with some type of food.
A big plate of tacos that were stuffed to the brim with different kinds of meats and vegetables and cheese.
A bowl of tomato rice, which ace watched grim barely hold back from lunging at.
A bowl of mashed beans with melted cheese on top, which ace didn't touch, he was sure they were good! But he just didn't eat them that night.
And all kinds of other foods that he didn't try to pronounce. It was in some language that the schools translation spell didn't work on.
Aces plate was loaded, and you sat right across from him, Grim eating on the other side of the table. The room was warm. Everything smelled nice. He could see the garden you and Jack were attempting to grow just outside the window that was once broken in.
It all felt so...nice.
He think this is where it started.
Because you never did get that shirt back.
Ace knows what's going on. It took him a minute to come to terms with the fact that you were a boy, the fact he liked boys, but he knew what was going on.
He'd had a girlfriend once, he knew what he was feeling.
And he didn't know what to do with it.
Ace didn't want romance right now. He wanted to run wild, as wild as he could with Riddle around every corner. He wanted to pull pranks, he wanted to puss off deuce, he wanted to learn how to use his magic, and he wanted to make friends.
He wanted you to be friends. You don't even have a guaranteed time left here. So why, why was he catching feelings?
...it fine. It's all fine. He can shove this down and ignore it.
He tells himself he'll just ignore it.
Ignore it while he sleeps just beside your bed.
Ignore it while you (even rarely) get to have dinner alone.
Ignore it while he steals a sweater or two, sweaters you didn't get from Crewel.
Ignore it while he riffles in your drawers looking for that bottle of cologne that got him so many compliments, the cologne that you also wore.
...Ace sighed.
He really sucked at lying to himself like this.
.
.
.
"I just don't know where it's going. I don't use that much, do I?", you weren't really desperate for an answer, you were just getting confused.
You only used that cologne on your wristes and your neck, with a occasional sprits one a shirt if you were trying to make an impression, which, you never really were.
So where the hell was it all going?
Vil just pursed his lips and leaned back from where he sat across from you. Sighing like he always did when he didn't have an answer but could just feel it on the tip of his tongue.
"I don't know what to tell you, I'd be happy to lend you some of mine, for a few favors, of don't look at me like that, just look after epel for a few hours while I'm not there and we're good"
You sighed.
"I don't need to borrow any, thanks, it's not that big of a deal, I just want to know if Grim is dumping it or one of the guys is using it or something"
Vil blinked. Like something in his brain just clicked into place.
"I could...ask Rook to look into it.."
"...Did you just make a pun?"

DECISIONS PT. TWO
Tumblr media
tw: kidnapping
*present time*
me and bill are sitting in the hotel room on my bed which is of course near the window. georg left a few minutes ago and always gets super awkward around me. and bill thinks it's because he likes me. in fact that is what he's talking about right now. "y/n you can't deny it any longer! georg has a thing for you!" he whisper yells. "how come you always deny it!" he shakes his head smiling.
"maybe i don't want that to be true because i don't think of him that way." i raised my brows and smiled. bill dramatically gasped. "PLOT TWIST!" he shouts excitedly. "you like someone else." he pointed his finger in my face with a smirk. "who is it. you have to tell me." he sits up straight as i bring my knees to my chest. "no i do not!" i deny his accusations.
"don't lie to me. i'm your bestfriend, acting like i don't know you." he cocked a brow. i felt my face heat up. "no i do not!" i let myself fall onto my back, knees still up. "we aren't supposed to keep things like that from each other." he crossed his arms and gave me a joking dirty look. i laughed at him and sat up. "well i've had a thing for this guy for a little over a year now-" bill cut me off "WHAT!" his jaw dropped open.
"HOW HAVE YOU NOT TOLD ME THIS?!" his eyes widened. "i can't! you know the person. i'd hate myself forever if you knew." i put my hands to my face feeling guilty. "so it has to be someone we both know... and you don't know many people." bill said making me look up. "i only haven't told you because of who it is and now i feel like a middle schooler talking about crushes." i giggled. "well if we sound like middle schoolers so be it. i'm invested. WAIT!" he cut through his thoughts.
"IS IT? NOOOOOO- NO WAY" he laughed hysterically. he laughed for a while making me nervous that he was thinking right. "if i'm right about this i'll make fun of your forever." he said finally calming down. "is it my brother?" he smirked. my heart rate tripled out of no where and my face felt like it was in flames. "i'm right!" he smiled excitedly.
"you were scared to tell me about that for the wrong reason. i don't give two shits if you like him. but i will say you know how my brother has been. he has slept with alot of woman and you are so anti- people to have even lost your virginity." bill chuckles and i smile. "i just didn't think you would like the idea of me being interested in him. i thought it would cause a problem in our friendship and i value our friendship more then your dumbass brother." i giggled.
"he is pretty dumb. always has been. he's always been weird towards you though, like just mean for no reason." he shook his head. "i know i don't even get it. which is also why i don't get how i like him." i shook my head to myself. "who knows. he barely says anything to you and when he does it's always insulting. he's a jerk." bill rolled his eyes. "but i'm also excited about the idea of this." a sly smile formed on his face.
"think about it... we are really close, basically siblings. if you guys got together you would be my sister in law!" he said and started doing a lil dance. i laughed as he did so. "that's only if i got married to him." i said. "married, dating, not dating whateverrrrr. still your my sister." he smiled. "alright brother. well this is your last day of touring and you've got 2 hours before it's starts. better get dressed before the van gets here." after i said that bill stood up and sighed.
"show time!" he said in a sing-songy voice and rushed over to his suitcase, pulling out his outfit before rushing to the bathroom. i smiled to myself and went on my phone. after a little while of scrolling through tiktok there was a knock on the hotel door. i looked up groaning as i got off the bed. i walked to the door and before i could say anything the person on the other side said "it's tom." i opened the door and stepped to the side letting him walk in. he looked at me for a second before looking ahead and walking.
such a boujie ass hotel and they don't even have the peep hole for me to see who's there. such bullshit. once he was far enough in i closed the door. and followed him before returning to my spot on the bed. tom sat on bills bed, "where's bill?" he asked as i picked up my phone. "bathroom" i responded quickly and went back into tiktok. he didn't respond and looked over toward the bathroom waiting. once bill came out and walked over, tom stood up.
"the van is here we gotta go." tom said as he walked past his brother patting his shoulder as he did so. "ok one second." bill said grabbing his phone off the charger before following. "BYE Y/N! I SHALL RETURN!" he laughed. i smiled and said goodbye aswell before the door closed.
i turned my phone off and watched some tv. after a few hours i fell asleep. the sound of knocking woke me up and i sat up rubbing my face. "it's tom!" he yelled outside of the door. i walked over opening it and saw two men. "see i told you she would be here." one of them spoke. my eyes widened and before i could close the door they walked inside. one grabbed me and the other closed the door.
he forced me over to the bed and as i started screaming for him to let go he covered my mouth. my eyes shot wide open once again. my back hit roughly against the bed and the man straddled my lap keeping his hand over my mouth. i felt tears quickly fill my eyes. the other man came into my view and i looked between the two. i was so scared i physically felt it. before i knew it i was shaking.
"open the bag fucking idiot!" the man above me urged the other. the other man set a duffel bag beside me and opened it. he quickly pulled a roll of duct tape out and handed it to the man above me. my muffled cries were heard making them look at me again. the man pulled at the tape with his teeth before the other took it and ripped it off. he removed his hand but put the tape over my mouth.
he slid his hand over it to make sure it was secure and patted the side of my face with a smile. i took my hand and punched the guy above in the dick making him fall over, as i sat up to try and run the other one shoved me back to sit on the bed. he grabbed my hands and put them behind my back. the guy i punched was groaning and holding his crotch. i felt the duct tape wrap around my wrists.
"fucking bitch!" i heard the man groan in pain. after he recovered he stood infront of me. "you better hope they care about you. cause you'll get to live." he shoved me with his pointer finger. "and we will get our money." he smiled pulling his hand away from my chest. he knelt down and the other man handed him the tape which he used to restrain my ankles. i should've fucking kicked him in the face. as he stood up the door opened and in walked bill and the rest of the band.
my terrified eyes were met with bills shocked ones. tom reacted before my brain could fully process the situation unfolding. he lunged at the guy behind me and began repeatedly punching him in the face. i looked over at gustav and georg to see georg already on the phone with security. the other man went to go get bill but security barged inside tackling the man. this is when i realized i was hyperventilating but didn't care about that.
so much happening at once... the other ones pulled tom off, who i didn't realize was still going at it, before pulling the beaten man up. he was unconscious. tom pulled his attention to me and ripped the tape off of my mouth making me wince. "y/n? hey stay with me." i felt my eyes getting heavy. i was so panicked. his voice sounded fainter until he shook me. suddenly i was wide awake and not so drowsy.
tom looked in the duffel bag and grabbed a knife from it. he cut the tape off of my wrists first then my ankles. i looked up seeing security had cuffed the men and were walking out with them. i felt tom press against me and looked down at his shoulder. he was holding me tight, rubbing my back. i felt like i could breath properly again. i looked over and saw another security guard speaking to bill, georg, and gustav. i put my attention back to the hug.
my hands went up, holding tom close. it really happened so fast...
and this is the day that everything changed.

Part 2 of this prompt by @russolaw : A TKK3 AU where Daniel and Johnny end up together.
TW: sexual exploitation.
4) Johnny gave Terry Silver the only nickname he ever really liked.
Sometimes, when he had a lot of money in his wallet, Johnny thought about skipping town. Landing in someplace small and boring, enrolling in high school for his last year, being a pretty and dangerous stranger on a motorcycle like James Dean, and having the kind of senior year he’d always wanted to. Someplace where tall blondes with perfect bodies weren’t a dime a dozen and turning yourself into a lethal weapon wasn’t just another accomplishment to put on your college application or your acting portfolio.
But then he’d catch sight of the city from the beach, the hills glowing with neon, and he’d remember that this was where people from those small towns skipped town for, the place everyone wanted to be. That Los Angeles was the City of Dreams. That it was better to be a hooker in L.A. than the mayor of any shit hick burg in Idaho or Iowa or Indiana or wherever it was that people who weren’t from someplace cool like Los Angeles came from.
Because the thing was that you could only ever be who they let you be in a small town. But you could be whoever you wanted to be in L.A., that was kind of the point of the place. And there was always a chance that you’d make it.
Johnny kept an eye out for nice cars that weren’t flashy. That meant professional men, not dealers. Professional men like Sid, although he didn’t want to get with someone like Sid, someone old and mean and demanding. He slept with them, but tried not to spend the night if he didn’t like them. One night could turn into two too easily, and then you were trapped if you weren’t careful. You didn’t need to get pregnant to be trapped, all you needed was something only he could give you. Car payments, a phone line, anything long-term. Johnny took gifts, but never anything that needed to be cared for or kept alive, and nothing that couldn’t fit in his Avanti.
Tiger had a long black ponytail and looked young, maybe like he was only a few years older than Johnny. He drove a silver Porsche Spyder the night they met, just like James Dean, and Johnny liked how well he handled the car. He told Johnny to call him something, but a motorcycle roared by and Johnny couldn’t quite hear.
“Tig?” Johnny asked, and leaned forward to show off his pecs. He was wearing a thin white tank top that he’d torn the bottom off to make it a crop top. He giggled and fluffed back his hair, which was growing out pretty long around his shoulders at this point. “Like Tigger? The tiger?”
“Yeah, Tiger,” the man said, and grinned. “Call me Tiger. I like that.”
Tiger liked it when Johnny pulled off the elastic band of his ponytail. He laughed and let his hair stream in the wind as they drove up winding canyon roads to his big sprawling house, pulled Johnny out of the car and carried him over the threshold like a bride, then crawled over him growling and kissed him on the mouth. He claimed Johnny and left red bite marks on his throat and shoulders, then carried him to a gigantic tub and fucked him again before sponging him off with something that smelled like sandalwood and leather. Then he ordered them gigantic burgers, bright red in the middle, and steak fries with garlic sauce instead of ketchup. He drank wine while Johnny drank beer, dipping his fries in the white sauce and eating them one by one as Johnny wolfed down the burger.
Johnny felt baptized, and slid into Tiger’s lap the next morning after a breakfast of lox and bagels.
“Looks like someone’s enjoying the hospitality,” Tiger said, and let him stay. He moved the Avanti into his garage and gave Johnny a Firebird, set him up in the guest room next to his and insisted on having it redecorated to match Johnny’s tastes. Johnny didn’t have any particular tastes in decorating, so Tiger picked out a riot of neon shapes and checkerboard that he said mirrored Johnny’s youthful dynamism and beautiful chaos.
Tiger said a lot of weird shit and liked weird shit, which Johnny was mostly alright with except when he’d huff and puff because Johnny didn’t get some weird movie or enjoy some dish Tiger served him with green stuff in it. He liked dressing Johnny up in shiny leather and plastic and putting makeup on him, liked taking him to clubs where people got tied up and hit each other with weird shit or shocked each other with what looked like little cattle prods. He’d pause in front of watching some guy get wax dripped on him or some girl get hung from the ceiling by her tits and ask Johnny if it turned him on, if he’d like to try it. Sometimes Johnny tried getting zapped or hit with something just to see if he could take it, but he never could say he got out of it what any of the rest of them did. It just looked too complicated, all the electric stuff and the special clothes and the tools – wasn’t sex supposed to be about body to body, skin to skin?
Tiger liked giving him presents, but after a while he stopped giving Johnny money. When Johnny asked for it, he’d ask why. He paid for everything Johnny needed, after all. Did Johnny want more clothes? More jewelry? Another car? He’d get Johnny another car. He’d take Johnny out to dinner, send the maid out grocery shopping. What did he need quarters to call home for if he had a phone in his car, a phone that Tiger paid for?
5) When Johnny saw Daniel, he knew something was very wrong.
As far as Johnny knew, Tiger was just a rich guy with a taste for Japanese decorating. All the rich guys were into that, since they were going over to Japan to make deals all the time. So he had a few katanas on his wall and liked to swan around in a yukata sometimes, that didn’t have to mean anything.
He hadn’t mentioned to Tiger that he did karate. He didn’t tell anybody about that, since that kind of brag could pretty easily get you on the wrong end of a gun out on the streets. Nobody was all that impressed with karate once you got out of high school.
So it was a hell of a surprise for him to come downstairs in a pair of briefs and an Aerosmith crop top one afternoon, hoping to find Tiger bored in his office, only to come face-to-face with Daniel LaRusso rambling about something dumb at his boyfriend while Tiger wrapped LaRusso’s bloody knuckles in bandages.
“What the hell is he doing here?” Johnny yelped from the staircase. He stopped short, body frozen, eyes on Tiger.
“What the hell is he doing here?” Daniel yelled at about the same time, pulling away from Tiger’s with a betrayed look. He backed away toward the front door, hands up in a defensive stance, ready to strike.
“I’m helping him.” Tiger seemed caught between the both of them. “Both of you–I’m helping you. I’m trying to help you both.”
Daniel opened his mouth, then closed it and shook his head.
“Help me?” Johnny shook his head. “What am I, a fucking charity case to you?”
“Your sensei,” Tiger blurted out. “I knew him. It was his last wishes–if I found you–”
“You knew Kreese?” Johnny gripped the banister. The room reeled. “His last–he’s dead?”
“Oh, this is bullshit,” Daniel said. His mouth stretched out in a sardonic grin, and his eyes darted around the room. “This is such bullshit. I can't believe you right now."
“How did he die?” Johnny’s legs went numb, and he let himself drop to the stairs. “How?”
“Brick to the gas pedal.” Tiger imitated dropping something, then cocked his hand in an L and placed the tip of his index finger to his temple. “Gun to the forehead. He sent me a letter–”
“I can’t believe you’re actually listening to this,” Daniel interrupted. “You know he’s lying. He’s gotta be lying, right?”
“He sent you a letter?” Johnny repeated, dumbfounded. Puzzle pieces spun in his head, bouncing off each other. Everything was too big and nothing fit together, and he wanted to retch it all out suddenly. “About me. And that’s why–that’s–”
“I thought you’d get scared and leave if you knew.” Tiger shook his head. “I shouldn’t have kept it from you, Johnny. I’m sorry.”
“He’s not sorry.” Daniel’s voice broke in clear and loud. “Look at him. He’s not sorry. He’s not even telling the truth. How useful is that? He’s just making up whatever he wants you to hear. I bet there’s no letter. I bet that asshole isn’t even dead.”
The look on Tiger’s face told Johnny everything.
6) Tiger didn’t even try to stop him from leaving.
He stood there, smug, while Johnny fished through his wardrobe for the jeans and T-shirt he’d brought with him. Asked Johnny where he thought he was going to go, since Tiger paid for everything he had.
“It’s not like I’d tell you,” Johnny said, and shoved a handful of silver and sapphire jewelry into his backpack. Tiger bought him sapphires to go with his eyes all the time.
“But you’re taking my presents,” Tiger said, pointedly.
“You gave ‘em to me,” Johnny said, and didn’t mention the cash that he kept in a pair of gym socks stuck in the lining of the backpack. That was nearly every bill he’d ever squirreled away from Tiger at this point.
“I’ll be able to find you no matter where you go,” Tiger said.
“Whatever,” Johnny said, and slung his backpack over his shoulder.
“You’ll never truly be able to escape me.” Tiger followed him down the hall. “I’ll always be looking over your shoulder. I’ll be everywhere you go.”
“Have fun with that,” Johnny said.
“Every job you get,” Tiger said. “Everywhere you live, everywhere you so much as lay your head. Every time you swipe a credit card. Every phone call you–”
“You and the goddamn United States government,” Johnny said.
“You’ll never, ever be free of me if you choose to walk out that door,” Tiger said. “Never. Not in your life.”
“Let me ask you something.” Johnny grabbed the keys to his Avanti and turned around. “Why bother with me? If you were training him?”
“You should be asking me why I bothered with him,” Tiger said. “When I had you.”
“Why didn’t you train me?” Johnny asked. “Is it because I lost?”
Tiger blinked.
“It’s because I lost,” Johnny said, and stepped into the garage.
“He wanted me to avenge you,” Tiger said. “To avenge Cobra Kai. I was training him wrong, Johnny, I’ve been training him to lose. I have this fighter, his name is Michael, he’s amazing–”
“But you didn’t train me,” Johnny said, and opened the door to the Avanti.
“I wanted to keep you,” Tiger said, and it sounded like he was about to cry. “I didn’t want to put you out on the mat, Johnny. I just wanted you to be mine.”
Johnny sat in the Avanti and didn’t look at Tiger.
“Sensei is alive, isn’t he,” Johnny said, finally.
“I’ll take you to him.” Tiger sounded desperate. “Yes, he’s alive. He’d want to see you, Johnny. He’d want to know you’re okay.”
“But he doesn’t know.” Johnny’s voice cracked in his ears.
“No,” Tiger said. “No. He doesn’t. I didn’t tell him I found you.”
Johnny started the car.
“I don’t have to, Johnny.” Tiger raised his voice. “It can just be us.”
“You can tell him I don’t need his goddamn avenging.” Johnny swallowed around the lump in his throat. “Just leave Daniel alone. He’s not the one who tried to fucking strangle me.”
Tiger put his own hand around his throat. His expression didn’t change as he watched Johnny drive away.
7) Finding Daniel was surprisingly difficult, but finding Miyagi was easy.
Of course there was no “Daniel LaRusso” in the Yellow Pages. That would have made it too easy. There were fifteen entries for LaRusso in general, but none of them were Daniel. Johnny called all of them, but two of them weren’t even in order, five just rang for about a dozen rings, and three hung right up on him when he asked for Daniel. The rest said they didn’t know of a Daniel at all.
He even called Ali, but hung up before anyone picked up. How the hell was he supposed to explain what he was doing anyway? That he’d dropped out of high school because he suddenly couldn’t face being himself or living in anything like the life he’d been living? That he’d uncovered some kind of bizarre revenge plot against her ex-boyfriend that was somehow his fault in the first place, and that he had to make it right? That he didn’t even want to talk to her, but that he knew the boy he’d tormented for half a year was somehow his only chance at making anything right for himself?
It had been Miyagi that saved him, but there wasn’t even a single Miyagi in the Yellow Pages. Johnny wiped away a frustrated tear and switched to the White Pages. Cobra Kai was listed under the Karate Dojos, and he had to stop and breathe hard for a few minutes when he saw the name. But there wasn’t any Miyagi dojo, so that didn’t help him. He switched over to Japanese Cultural Businesses, and there between Marukai Market and Nihon Books and Art was Mr. Miyagi’s Little Trees.
Johnny sped across the valley. Miyagi came out just as he parked the car outside the store.
“No trouble today,” Miyagi said, like Johnny was selling it from door to door. “Please. Enough today.”
“It’s about Daniel,” Johnny said. “There’s something I think he needs to know.”
“Revenge plot, yes.” Miyagi sighed, and looked tired. “Daniel-san drop out of tournament already, okay? That enough? Revenge, good? Over?”
“It’s not me,” Johnny said. “I promise. It’s not me. I never wanted this.”
“Then what?” Miyagi glanced over his shoulder into the shop.
“I just wanted to see him,” Johnny said.
“Shop closed,” Miyagi said. “Daniel-san no seeing anyone.”
A high whistle filled the air.
“Kettle,” Miyagi said. “For tea.”
“Tell him Kreese is alive,” Johnny said, and remembered what Tiger had said about watching him everywhere he went. “Just… Just tell him to watch out, I guess.”
“Oni sensei alive.” Miyagi frowned, then looked over his shoulder at the shop.
The high whistle sputtered and faded.
“Five minutes!” Miyagi called towards the store. “Wait five–excuse Miyagi, please–”
“I don’t have anywhere else to go.” The words came tumbling out of Johnny’s mouth. “This is the last place I can go and I don’t have anywhere else, okay? And I think I need him. Or you. Or whatever’s in–whatever it is that you teach. I think I need to at least talk to him. I need to protect him, okay? I don’t know why Tiger’s obsessed with him, I don’t know why they’re obsessed with him, but I need–I need to figure it out. At least let me try to figure it out. Please?”
“Ahh.” Miyagi nodded and closed his eyes for a moment. “Your rival. Like Rikiishi to Joe Yabuki.”
“I don’t–who?” Johnny shook his head. “Who’s that?”
“From Ashita no Joe,” Miyagi said. He glanced towards the shop one last time, then beckoned Johnny to follow him. “A comic book from Japan. Come, have tea. Miyagi have all twenty volumes.”
That was good enough. Johnny followed him.

The weeks leading up to his birthday is a lot.
Getting too overwhelmed and honestly he’s starting to feel like everyone forgot that he’s just one person. That he can’t do everything for them and yeah, he wants to help; feels like he needs to help. Sometimes it feels like he has to help, that that’s the only reason they even come to him. Feels like that anyone who talks to him just wants something, never just to have a conversation.
A few weeks before April 29th, Robin asked him what he wanted for his birthday. He only shrugged and said with a smile, “maybe a break? I don’t know. Haven’t really thought of it much” which is the truth, he didn’t think about his birthday much anymore.
“Oh come on, Dingus! You gotta want something?”
A shrug again was the answer and she huffed out a few curses and “of course you’d be like that” which didn’t make sense to him, his focus went back to work and that was the end of it. At least with Robin.
It’s not until later that same night, laying on the grass in his backyard at three am.
“This is nice” he breathes out, resting his arms above his head, a half empty beer bottle sitting close by. Still wearing his work clothes. It’s quiet and the sky is clear, he’s alone just enjoying the night.
That’s when it hits him, that this right here is what he wants. What he honestly needs.
The start of the last week of April, he started feeling like crap. He couldn’t hear well normally, but now he feels like he has cotton in his ears on top of his shitty hearing. There’s a near headache all week long, that’s pretty normal though. On top of that, he’s so run down because of work and everyone wanting his help. He doesn’t have a moment to himself, someone is always with him. Always calling for his help and never asking if he needs it.
It’s a lot, he just wants to not be needed.
Just wants to be able to breathe and be with his friends and maybe not feel like he’s only around to help.
April 29th, he wakes up feeling like absolute shit. His head is pounding, his throat is aching, nose running and he’s down. He’s spending the day in his bed sleeping it away.
Calls into work, because he’s scheduled, explains he’s sick and promises to make it up. Then he pulls out the walkie and explains to everyone in one go- “I’m sick, don’t bother me” and immediately switches the walkie off before crashing face first on the couch.
He sleeps, eats a little soup and crackers. Stays hydrated and relaxes.
It’s the best time he’s had in the last month.
(Robin shows up with Eddie in tow with more soup and a few cupcakes. Party hats on, and an ‘I don’t give a shit if you get us sick’ attitude. It nearly makes him cry. It never registered in his head he’s sick on his birthday, but he got what he wanted. A week where he was with his two favorite people and feeling like he could just be. Even though they slept and stayed in bed, Robin and Eddie ended up sick a few days later)
~~
I meant to get this out ON April 29th but I…didn’t get around to typing anything until 10pm and I also had a THC gummy and was enjoying the high before I went to sleep 🤣
Anyway, this was inspired by what happened on my birthday last year. I got Covid the week of my birthday and I spent it alone in my room hahaha. On top of that the weeks leading up to my birthday I felt so overwhelmed and feeling like everyone around me only needed my help or just didn’t want anything to do with me. It was a lot, also they kinda forgot? Like my birthday came and went. 27 isn’t that important, I guess 😅

Ghost x Male Reader
(First post lol - Nsfw)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Y/N and Ghost had just come back from quite possibly the most dangerous mission of the year. To put simply, shit went wrong real fucking quick. Both men were left beaten and bloodied by the end of it, barely surviving the ordeal. But they had, somehow.
A few hours later... Ghost laid in bed beside Y/N, watching as his chest rose and fell while he slept. Each breath was deep as memories of the mission plagued his dreams. Ghost couldn't get the thought of watching his boyfriend suffer the way he did out of his head, it caused a deep rooted pain in his chest.
"Y/N. Wake up." He whispered softly, placing his hand softly on Y/N's cheek. Y/N opened his eyes softly and turned to Ghost. His voice was groggy, since he had just woken up. "What?" He replied sleepily. "I uh, I keep thinking about... the mission. I just... I hate seeing you when you get hurt like that." Ghost said slowly, it was hard for him to talk about how he felt. But he knew he needed to tell Y/N. "I keep thinking, what if... what if you didn't make it." His voice was barely above a whisper at this point.
A few seconds of silence pass, before Y/N's eyes turned from drowsiness to concern. He gently put his hand on Ghost's face and planted a small kiss on his forehead. "Last mission was... horrific. I hated seeing you hurt too, but I am alive. So are you." Y/N stated, as calmly and as comfortingly as he could. Y/N smiled softly and despite Ghost's worries, it was obvious a small smile had formed under the mask.
As they looked into each others eyes for a little longer, the atmosphere in the room shifted into a more... intimate one. Suddenly, Y/N speaks up. "How about... I show you that I'm alive." As he says this, he shifts his body to be on top of Ghost. Ghost, who knows where this is going already, nods. Y/N lifts Ghost's mask to just below the nose and kisses him lovingly. They hold in that moment for a few minutes, savouring every second.
Things quickly warm up however, as Ghost begins unbuckling his belt and removing his trouser while Y/N does the same. They continue to kiss passionately before Y/N places his cock and Ghost's entrance. He gives Ghost a quick look, as if asking for permission. This is common between the 2, as they switch quite often. Ghost nods and with that, Y/N slowly pushes inside Ghost. He is gentle and caring, because he knows Ghost is still sore from the difficult mission a few hours previous.
Y/N thrusts into Ghost slowly, making sure that he is enjoying it too. A low groan escapes Ghost's mouth, causing Y/N to gradually quicken his thrusting pace. As time progresses, groans and moans from the pair get louder. "Fuck.." Y/N breathed out, pleasure overwhelming him. Ghost could not utter a word, the feeling of Y/N was ecstasy. Y/N thrusted in and out of Ghost at a more increasing speed, causing the 2 of them to feel pure bliss.
Minutes felt like hours as Y/N and Ghost reached closer to their limits. Y/N was moving what could be considered slow, because this interaction was not out of lust, but out of love. The couple had gone through something devastating, they had to watch as the other nearly died. Doing this, was a way to reassure each other they were alive.
Y/N inevitably released inside of Ghost, filling him up and the both of them moaned simultaneously. Ghost let out a spurt from his own dick, staining the shirt he was wearing. Y/N pulled out and laid beside Ghost, putting his arm around his waist. They both caught their breath and relaxed beside one another.
"Okay... your alive." Ghost said, as he fell asleep in his boyfriends loving embrace.
