For day three of Hellghoul Week, I chose the prompt 'Did you hear that?', but this one could also fall under the day six theme of hauntings! Hope you enjoy the spooky and creepy vibes!
🖤🌲🌕🌳👻🌳🌕🌲🖤
“Did you hear that?” A question that started it all. When he’d asked it, Galadriel had no idea what it would lead to. She thought he was looking out for her, having stopped to help her with a flat tyre. At last the kindness of strangers proves to not be a myth. It was the last thing she wanted tonight. It was bad enough Gil was forcing her to go to this stupid Halloween party.
It was almost as if the universe was telling her it wasn’t where she was supposed to be.
She was expecting the stranger, who introduced himself as Halbrand, to make some joke about her costume. She was dressed as Jason Voorhees. “I’ll help you if you promise not to kill me!” or “So you’ve got mummy issues then.” But no. None of that. He’d simply pulled over in front of her Hyundai in his rusted station wagon, volunteering his services. “Just offering whatever humble aid I can.” He’d said with a smile.
A smile that set Galadriel’s heart thumping.
“Do you do this often?” She’d asked. “Help damsels in distress?” Galadriel wouldn’t usually say something as silly as that but Halbrand had an immediate effect on her, and she couldn’t think straight. In fact, she was quite capable of changing her own tyre, but being so caught off guard by him, she didn’t want to turn his help away.
Nor risk angering a complete stranger. A man who loomed over her as he stood next to her now, his head haloed by the light of the full moon. “Did you hear that?” “Hear what?” “That!” He stared down at her in disbelief. “I don’t hear anything, Halbrand. What does it s—” “Shhhhh!”
They both fell silent. Galadriel strained in her concentration to hear whatever had set her saviour on edge. After a few seconds, something entered Galadriel’s ears she wished she’d never heard. An ominous though faint clicking noise. Click, click, click, click, click. The two of them locked eyes. “You hear it don’t you.” Halbrand whispered. Galadriel nodded. Then a louder noise sprang through the air causing them both to jump.
It was a scream.
“We have to go help them!” Galadriel declared, starting towards the tree line. Halbrand grabbed her arm before she got too far. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” She shirked her arm free. “Probably not, but I’m not leaving without helping them. We could be their only hope of survival.”
Galadriel dumped the hockey mask, grabbed her flashlight, locked her car, and disappeared into the woods. Hoping Halbrand would follow her. She was only trying to do the right thing but she didn’t want to do it alone.
“Wait up, Galadriel!” Her prayer answered. His footfalls quickened until he caught her, the sounds of asphalt morphing into the crunch of leaves and twigs. “It’s not safe to go any further. We should head back. Call the police, the park ranger, anyone but us.” He wasn’t panicked, just concerned. For her. Warning her of what lay ahead.
She should’ve listened.
“I don’t think I’ll sleep at night if I don’t at least try to help.” “You probably won’t sleep again. Ever.” Galadriel glared at him as they walked, his affecting charm beginning to lose its grip. “How about you just tell me what’s out there, Halbrand? If you’re so worried, why don’t you prepare me for what we might see?”
Another scream.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.
The sounds were louder. Closer.
“It’s too late for that now.” “How?” “Because we’re in its land. We crossed the border.” “It? What do you mean ‘it’?” Halbrand didn’t answer her question. And his vague crypticness began to unsettle her. “Okay then we’ll turn back. We haven’t gone too deep in yet.” “I tried to stop you.”
He tried and succeeded but too late as he had said. Galadriel did stop. She stood before Halbrand, this handsome youthful man who suddenly seemed to her older than time itself. There was only one emotion emanating from him now.
Grief.
Her heart was thumping it’s loudest now, each beat commanded by trembling fear. Without another word she turned on the spot and started to run, run back to the road, her car, and safety.
She got about 30 metres before she realised where she should have seen the road, she only saw more woods.
And that Halbrand had not run after her.
“Halbrand!” She called, frantic, spinning in all directions before running back to where she’d left him. “Halbrand?!”
A third scream.
No handsome man in sight.
Only endless click, click, click, click, clicks…
The last thing Galadriel heard.
————
There’s an old wives tale known to the locals. On Halloween, there’s a road you do not stop on, a forest you do not enter alone.
Even if you think you’ve got company.
On Old Forest Road through Mirkwood Forest, everyone knows not to accept help from faces they do not know.
Even if they are handsome or beautiful.
If you pass a rusted wagon driven by a charming auburn haired fellow and his long blonde haired maiden… do not stop.
Keep driving.
Lest you end up like them.
Trapped.

Rory & Ellie: the bonus mixtape that absolutely no one asked for and doesn’t even fit the assigned task wtf am i doing
"marjorie" - Taylor Swift  ⋆  "the autumn chill that wakes me up. you loved the amber skies so much. long limbs and frozen swims, you'd always go past where our feet could touch. and i complained the whole way there, the car ride back and up the stairs. i should've asked you questions, i should've asked you how to be. asked you to write it down for me, should've kept every grocery store receipt, 'cause every scrap of you would be taken from me."
Rory was only ten when Ellie Jackson was killed. At nearly nineteen years old, she’s mourned her mom nearly as long as she had her. When you’re little you don’t realize that your parents are mortal. You don’t know you’ll lose them some day, that they might be taken from you. You never expect it to be soon. She didn’t know any better, didn’t know that she should be soaking up every moment in her mom’s presence, memorizing every piece of her so she wouldn’t lose them. There’s so much she wishes she could ask her mom now. Stupid, silly questions. Big, overwhelming ones. I think this really sums up how Rory feels towards her mom now, in present day Cherry. 
"As the Crow Flies" - Clare Bowen & Sam Palladio  ⋆  "i'm sorry my love. thoughtless and careless, oh i was young. and like a ship in the night, i watched you pass by. i wish that i may, i wish that i might, get back to you the quickest i can. one if by sea, or two if by land. no wandering this time, i'll draw a straight line, as the crow flies."  ⋆  "no more wrong turns, oh i've had it with mistakes, misplaced second chances, and next time i'll try so much harder. i’m starting to see what i've done to me and you."
Staying in the 1999 of it all, I KNOW Ellie’s dead shhhhh, but I think this is how she’d feel about Rory. Like if she was resurrected for one day and got to talk to her eighteen year old daughter, she’d apologize for staying with Dan, for not getting them out of there. And wherever she is (only our god and cult leader Em knows what happens to ppl who die in Cherry-verse) she wishes she could be with Rory. All she ever wanted was to protect her, and she thought that she was at the time, but I think the years would’ve given Ellie the space to realize the only way to really protect her daughter would have been to leave.
"Saturn" - Sleeping At Last  ⋆  "you taught me the courage of stars before you left, how light carries on endlessly, even after death. with shortness of breath you explained the infinite, and how rare and beautiful it is to even exist. i couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again. i tried to write it down, but i could never find a pen. i'd give anything to hear you say it one more time, that the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes."
Leeet’s back it up, shall we? “Saturn” feels like Rory’s childhood perspective on her mom. On the magic that she created even in the darkest days- birthday cake for breakfast every August 2nd and saving worms from the driveway as the rain stopped on summer afternoons. Her mom still raised her like she was the most important thing in the world, like the universe was made just to be seen by her eyes. That was exactly how Ellie thought of it. The whole world made, just for her baby. Her whole life given, just for her baby. After her mom was killed, Rory had to learn how to choke out the good stories, to tell her uncle and cousin about the magic her mom had given her. 
"My Only Child" - The Highwomen  ⋆  "pink painted walls, your face in my locket, your daddy and me, your tiny back pocket. mama's first love, last of my kind, you'll always be my only child."
This song is like a love letter from Ellie to her daughter. I imagine this is how she looked at Rory when she was a little girl. A baby, a toddler. The little girl she’d never get to see grow up. Because yeah, she couldn’t leave. But by no means did that mean she didn’t love Rory. She did. She loved her so much. And it kind of rips my heart out to think about where this song would play in the montage. I think it’d be over the good days of Rory’s childhood, when her dad was at work, and then if I feel like having a little sob, I guess at Ellie’s funeral. Last of my kind indeed. Yeouch.

I saw your request are open I had an idea, so the reader is Zendaya’s really good friend that’s a really big model and she introduces you to Timothèe
hii! thank you for requesting and for waiting so long, i'm so sorry this took forever but i hope you like it 💗
“shhhhh!” you hiss, tucking your hair behind your ear just for something to do with your hands.
“you think i’m joking? you’re super hot, yn!” zendaya exclaims, leaning closer in her chair and almost knocking her wine over. you two never were cut out for these fancy after parties. especially after the disaster that was the pair of you attempting to dance after too many shots.
“you’re stunning and you really think he isn’t checking you out right now? dude, i’m checking you out right now!” she yells, gesturing to the guy you’ve been attempting to avoid all night.
“lower your voice, dear god,” you beg, now fiddling with the stirrer in your drink, clinking the ice against the glass.
zendaya has this stupid stupid grin on her face that makes you want to put your head through a wall. when she starts making faces to the guy over your shoulder, excuses to leave spill from your lips.
“don’t,” you grimace, as she continues to meet his eye over your shoulder and then smirks at you. “do not.”
she beckons him over.
you lean forwards to hiss at her, “i can’t believe you’re doing this to me — i cannot believe you — this is the worst thing you’ve ever done and that includes the time you locked me out of my apartment and — hey!”
you plaster on a smile, spinning in your chair to face the guy who, according to your now ex-best friend, has been “checking you out” all night.
“hey!” timothée chalamet says right back. you’d give anything for the ground to swallow you up. to meet him like this, beyond tipsy and having just made a fool of yourself on the dancefloor, couldn’t have been a worse first impression.
you can’t even look at him directly; he’s so sparkly and bright it’s like staring into a star as it explodes, or an angel’s halo, or headlights at midnight.
“i’m timothée!” he says, extending a hand for yours.
“i know who you are!” you chirp, then immediately regret your entire existence. way to play it cool. “i mean, i’m sorry, i’ve seen you in movies. and you’re really talented. i’m yn. and i’ve had too much tequila.”
he laughs and your stomach does a silly little flip. you watch him survey the room for a second, confused, before he finds what he’s looking for and quickly downs his own tequila shot.
you let out a laugh when he slams the glass down on your table and grins at you.
“now we’re probably even?” he ponders, sliding into the seat opposite yours.
“i don’t know, man, you’ve got some serious catching up to do,” zendaya smirks, flagging down more shots.
timothée throws his head back with a groan and your stomach flips again. you hide your giggles behind your glass, twirling the stirrer between your fingers because now you really can’t sit still with him right there in front of you. looking at you. smiling at you.
you take another sip.
he downs another shot, shaking his head with a grimace.
“fuck, what was in that one?” he cries as zendaya laughs.
“you forgot the salt and lime!” you shout. he looks impressed and maybe a little afraid, and you suddenly feel a lot warmer as you lean over to shake salt onto the back of his hand.
“woah, how much salt do i—”
his palm flat against the table, you hold his wrist steady with a terrible excuse to touch him —
“it’s bad luck to spill salt,” you mutter, resolutely staring at the place where your fingers rest against his wrist, where his pulse jumps, where sparks surge through your fingertips. you miss the telltale blush of his cheeks.
by the time you’ve sprinkled the salt, mesmerized by the flex of his fingers, the smoothness of his skin, zendaya is nowhere to be seen. you glance up at him and his eyes flit across your face before he catches himself, quickly clearing his throat.
“uh, so it’s salt, tequila, lime?”
“salt, tequila, lime,” you confirm, forcing yourself to tear your hand away. he pouts, whether from the loss of contact or from the task ahead, you couldn’t say.
but then you’re studying the swipe of his tongue, the ripple of his throat as he swallows, the shake of his head as the sourness of the lime makes him squint.
“good?” you laugh in disbelief when his face scrunches up.
“uughrh, god, how many of these are you on?” he winces, reaching for the nearest glass of water.
“uhh, i really couldn’t tell you, timmy, you know what zen’s like,” you admit, craning your neck to see where the hell zendaya disappeared to. not that you care anymore, because he’s just gulped down straight vodka.
“no! no, no, no—” you can’t breathe, laughter bubbling up your throat and leaving you clutching onto his hand to guide him through it.
timothée splutters, choking on air as his throat burns, throwing his head back as he outright cackles, his giddy laughter infectious as it bounces around the room.
“christ, tell me you thought that was water, too!” he coughs, fingers gripping yours, rings digging into your skin. he steadies himself by looking straight into your eyes, dopey smile, blinking away tears of laughter.
you can’t help it — it’s how he’s looking at you. he’s making you light-headed, giddy, drunk, and it has very little to do with the drinks. your hand reaches up and strokes his cheek, fingertips damp from the tears that cling to his eyelashes. his eyelashes.
focus.
you pull your hand away the same moment he turns his face into it; the brush of his lips against your palm sends a shiver down your spine.
“sorry,” he murmurs, adding pressure with a kiss now.
you smirk, thumbing over his cheekbone. “so you were checking me out all night?”
flustered, he hides his face in your hand and it kind of makes you want to cry.
“okay, you caught me. i was trying to play it cool, you know, be that guy.”
you giggle, playfully running your fingers down his face. he lifts his head to meet your eyes.
“i was trying to play it cool, too!” you gasp, and he raises his eyebrows, pointing at you as you lean towards him.
he grins, sitting on his hands so that he doesn’t do anything completely reckless. yet he leans to meet you in the middle of the table, lips inches apart.
“well, now we’re past playing it cool, which movies of mine have you seen?” he says, then immediately laughs, waving his hands as if to wipe the words from the air. “i’m kidding! i’m totally kidding!”
but you’re off, you can’t be stopped, regaling the rollercoaster of emotions his movies have put you through. timothée puts his head in his hands, tugs on his shirt, and awkwardly sits through each and every compliment you shine down on him.
it’s the only thing his lovestruck, six-tequilas-down brain can come up with to show his appreciation, to shut you up, to satisfy that endless curiosity because how you taste is all he can think about.
“—i really just don’t know how you do it, how do you get your face like that—”
his lips absorb your praise, tongue swiping your lower lip as if you’re the salt, and by the way you’re scrunching his shirt between your hands, he’s the lime.

Hey, this hasn’t happened in a long time. Stress headache for writing. Guess its time to write a small fluff once again,
Also with my favorite skeletons because I want multiple skeletons shhhhh it’s just pure self-indulgence without any rhyme or reason to why anything happens...
Ice cream. Cookies. Milk. Chips. Chocolate bars.
All things that you shove into your basket as you walk around the convenient store with a scowl on your face, biting your lip so you don’t scream and cause everyone around you to think you’re crazy. You’re just getting everything you think you want, to treat yourself after feeling so... so... much!
You feel your heart speed up just thinking about it and you squeeze the handles of the basket hard enough that it starts to bend.
Ugh, I just wanna go HOME, you cry in your head as you wait in line.
You’re just stopping yourself from tapping your foot restlessly when your eyes spot a surprise near the registers.
Candy cigarettes?
...
Oh what the hell.
You throw them into the basket too. You’ve never tried it, but it looks like something fun to show at home and surprise the guys.
You put up a pleasant face for the cashier (no need to make a retailer’s job even more miserable) and happily decline the plastic bag. One good thing that happened today: you remembered your reusable bag!
It’s certainly something? To cool your temper.
You walk out and you’re back to walking fast to get home as fast as possible, almost checking shoulders with people when you think the ones in front of you are walking too slow for your current mood. You see your home in the distance, thank god, and make a little sprint towards it, half-hoping a little bit of TLC once you’re there.
You peek in the window as you go to the door, and though you don’t see anyone, you shrug and attempt to bowl over the door, only to curse up a storm when you find that it’s locked, of course. After more hissing and quiet yelling at the handle that dare get in the way your angry relaxation time at home, you shuffle your keys out, haphazardly unlock the door and slip inside- slamming the door just a little harder than you should’ve and march towards the sofa.
(After throwing your jacket, your shoes and socks, and your whole bag on the floor next to the door.)
“(y/n)...?” You hear Snow’s voice from the kitchen as you throw yourself into the cushions, bouncing a bit while the contents of your bags jumped with you.
“Hey Snow,” You say while you make a “pbbbff...” noise with your lips, turning on the TV to look for... you don’t know what, just something to take your mind off things.
Just his voice cools your chest.
You take out the bag of chips and rip it clumsily, with some of the chips tumbling out of it and onto the floor. You make another exasperated noise but make no move to clean up the mess, instead choosing to shove a mouthful of chips into your mouth.
(To be honest, you’re not even properly eating the chips. Just... biting it harder than you needed to, making more of an angry mess on your crinkled shirt.)
Maybe you’re doing it to get attention, you don’t know. You just feel so “aaeghegshrg”.
Thankfully, you didn’t have to make even more of a fool out of yourself, and you see a shadow fall over you from behind.
You sigh when your frustrations simmer down at just the idea of him being there for you... you really weren’t the kind to hold onto anger for too long.
“is... something the matter...?” Snow’s gentle voice comes from behind you, soothing you even more.
You make another sigh, but you look up to him with tired eyes. “Yeah. But it’s hard to say... I’m just not in a good mood... sorry.” You apologize bashfully, feeling silly when you see the mess you’ve made. You hear Snow chuckle, his deep voice shaking your core, making you want to drown in it. The big skeleton rounds the sofa and sits beside you (where the bag isn’t), and his weight pulls you a bit towards him.
“don’t be sorry.” He smiles at you, his sockets crinkled. “is there... anything i can do...?”
Feeling his warmth right there, you start leaning into his chest. “You’re already doing plenty. Just having you here makes me sleepy.” You titter. “Uh. Not in the bad way, I just... I feel relaxed already. I think I’m just tired, I don’t wanna feel... I dunno, spiky?”
“isn’t that red’s thing?”
The new voice surprises you enough to blink your eyes open (you really were starting to doze off on Snow’s chest) and sit up. You look to the darkened hallway (as the sun was setting and the lights haven’t been turned on yet), and see a pair of white lights, until you see the blue-clad skeleton that emerges out of the shadows. It’d be a good horror movie scene if he didn’t look so.... like Sans. Relaxed grin, lazy sockets, slouching a bit, pink slippers shuffling against the floor.
“hey...” Sans starts, his eyelights darting to the chips on the floor. “my little shoulder-chip. what’s wrong?”
“she said she feels... spiky,” Snow repeats as you nibble on a big chip, letting his knuckles ghost your cheek. You don’t say a thing, so he keeps on going.
“mind if i make some space?” Sans points to the bag and you make a little nod, and Sans moves it to the coffee table and sits beside you.
“I dunno... i’ve just been feeling like... this,” You say emphatically, pointing to the chip in your hand. “I feel... like a potato. Just... I dunno... stuck? I don’t know, I just feel,” you make vague, aggressive hand gestures in the air, and slump back down. “Like that,”
Sans takes a breath to say something, but you’re all suddenly aware of the sound of a... clang?? Somewhere outside the house, a door being thrown open.... the heavy steps of feet as someone’s running towards you-
“ilikepotatoes.” Red’s voice suddenly breaks into the room, as all three of you turn your heads around to where he is in the hallway, panting and sweating a bit, his grin a bit too wide with his eyelights dilated in his sockets. He’s sweating.
“Red... how,” You breathe, “Did you even hear that?? Also why did you run here?”
“... dramatic effect?” Red shrugs as he saunters easily to the sofa. “anyways, what i’m saying is,” He says as he folds his arm on the back of the sofa behind you, “i like potatoes. in fact i jus’ love to eat ‘em.”
He bounces his brows at you. “what i’m sayin’ is, if yer a potato, i’d love to-”
“oh my god shut up red,” Sans covers his face with both of his hands, apparently blue in the face from embarassment.
“ey i’m tryna make the girl blush what’re ya-?”
“that’s so stupid i’m getting second hand embarrassment,”
“oh fuck you.”
The exchange gets a giggle out of you, and all three skeletons get a spark in their eyelights.
“Ok, so I’ve been feeling pretty... ehhh today, but this is turning things around,” You smile, looking at the dumbasses while you lean on Snow.
“that’s good to know,”
“i aim t’ please, sweetheart.”
Snow sits up a bit more, bringing you with him, and points to the plastic bag on the table. “so... what’s all that?”
“Oh,” you blush a little, feeling a bit embarrassed for all the things you’ve bought. “It was... an impulse thing. i wasn’t feeling so great, so I wanted to buy everything I wanted to eat. There’s ice cream, candy, chips, just... a bunch of snacks. Oh, I also found candy cigarettes in the store,”
“what,” Red immediately sounds behind you, his smug expression now just a baffled huh???
“the fuck’s candy cigarettes? d’ya... smoke candy ‘r some shit?” Red asks incredulously, prompting a hearty laugh from you. “aw c’mon doll i gotta know!”
“Well,” you start to explain-
“humans’re weird.” Sans says plainly, fishing out said snack from the bag.
He gives it a shake, and you see Red’s eyelights dilate at the sound.
“I mean, don’t pretend like monsters aren’t,” you say as you take the box out of Sans’ hands, “this aren’t like actual cigarettes, Red. They’re just candies that look like cigarettes, so when you put them in your mouth to eat it it looks like you’ve got a cigarette in your mouth. They also have powders inside of them you can inhale and exhale so it looks like smoke... I read kids used to love them exactly for that reason? i don’t know what they taste like,”
You took one more look at the packing and tilt your head. “Oh... it’s chocolate cigarettes, so this one’s just... milk chocolate in the shape of a cigarette,”
“c’mon open ‘em, i’ve never seen ya with a cig darlin’,” Red chuckles, a playful expression on his skull.
You take out the old-timey box and open it. Inside as about 12 “cigarettes” all wrapped in paper. The chocolate sticking out of the ends does make it look like a cigarette. You pull it out and look at the three skeletons, expectations on their faces...
And you stick it into your mouth, moving away from Snow to sit back on the couch and put on your most stereotypical “criminal look” as you put your arms on the back of the couch and fold your leg over the other.
...
“Ey...” you say with a hint of confusion, taking out the chocolate to blow nothing into the air.
“HAH-” Red barks out behind you, slapping his teeth with his bony hand with a clack, doubling over behind the sofa while his shoulders bounced erratically, wheezing as he tries to hold in his laugh.
His absolute giddiness at seeing you with a “cigarette” in your mouth only makes the rest of you giggle and chortle, unrestrained, and the cigarette almost pokes into your throat when you accidentally breathed the whole stick into your mouth.
“Pweh-” You spit out the cigarette (it still had the paper on!) and laugh when you see Red, still unable to pull himself together as he looks like he’s actually struggling to breathe. “It wasn’t that funny!” You tell him, but your own chest is shaking when you see how Red looks like he’s dying.
“i... ha, i don’t fuck’n know!” Red unfolds himself and puts a hand on his chest as he tries to control himself. “i didn’t expect ya t’ say ‘ey...’ heheh... hehahah!”
You unwrap the chocolate from its papery confines and pop it in your mouth, biting it in two so you could chew on it. You take deep breaths before you swallow to make sure you don’t choke on it.
“gimme one of those,” Red reaches over you and takes a cigarette, propping it in between his teeth. He then proceeds to take a few steps back, leaning against the wall. He closes his sockets as he takes a “hit” and makes... the weirdest shape with his mouth (like he was trying to close his ‘lips’ while he was trying to withhold a smile) and makes a pout to exaggerate him “blowing smoke out”. He then keeps that weird mouth shape as he lids his sockets (one was lower than the other what the fuck,) and you watch the edges of his grin bend upwards.
“eyyyYYyyYy.” Red says, mimicking you.
You practically end up crying from how stupid everything is (why are you even laughing? It’s not supposed to be funny!) and the four of you end up on the couch poking fun at each other while eating all the snacks you’ve bought, until eventually Snow stands up to make a real meal for the lot of you.
You forget all about your stresses for the rest of the night, and even fall asleep with a smile on your face.

Slow Burn: Act I - Part 6
The Museum
Pairing: Chris Evans x Famous!Reader
Summary: You and Chris enjoy a day at the museum as the first act of your newfound clean slate.
Warnings: pure Fluff for once, the usual silly antics
Notes: Back to our regularly scheduled fanfic-ing. Hope y’all didn’t mid that mid-series break; I literally forgot how to write. But it was fun getting back in the groove of fluff! P.S. I miss museums. Read the previous part here and check this part’s moodboard + music.
Chris’ pace is quick as he walks the city sidewalk, evading puddles in his path. Sprinkling now, he doesn’t want to test his luck walking leisurely as he normally would. Normally, he’d take the time to gawk at the beauty and bustle of his city. But not today.
Today is a rainy Monday in Boston, perfect for your indoor date. Except, this is not a date. That’s what Chris told himself. That’s what he told his friend and brother… then himself again, especially now as a reminder to slow down his increasingly speeding heartbeat with each step. He’s only late for a friendly hang out with you, not for a date. 
“Chris! Slow down!” Chris’ mother yelled from behind him. Oh yeah, and Ma. He stopped momentarily for Lisa to catch up. With a smile, he offered his mother his arm to take, and they walked together at a more acceptable pace to their destination. “Well somebody’s eager to see a certain somebody else,” Lisa teased, her son’s nervous and excited energy not going unnoticed by her maternal eye.
“Just… just don’t want to miss any part of the tour, is all,” he says, ears tipped red.
“Uh-huh…”
A few more paces, and the mother-son pair arrived at the MassArt Art Museum. Inside, they’re greeted by high ceilings and white walls like blank canvases. Grandiose, multi textured sculptures add a plethora of color to the space, some stand tall from the floors, others hang low and ceilings. The bright colors and lights could easily make you forget the dreary Fall day outside, the inside of the museum matching the inside of Chris’ chest.
Chris is shrugging off his raincoat when his mother goes to check them in. “She’s probably already in the crowd over there,” she points in the direction of a large group. “Go ahead and look for her; I’ll find you in a bit.”
The tour group with a median age of about 78 is already eagerly gathered in the lobby around a museum tour guide. Chris scans the crowd, large than he anticipated, probably about 100 if he were to guess, but can’t seem to spot you. He decides to remain in the back of the group, figuring he’ll find you once the tour gets moving. Chris tunes into the addressing tour guide for the time being.
“Once we’re in the exhibit, I want everyone to remember…”
“On your left.”
Chris side-glances down to his left side to be met by your profile staring straight ahead in the same direction he was just a moment ago. He took in your kinky-curly fro, a little shrunken and and slightly frizzed than usual because of the humidity, but it worked for you. Your face is fresh and free of makeup, a look you seemed to like to sport, and he thinks to himself that he likes it on you, too. After a moment of no response from Chris, your eyes flutter up to him. He’s met with your smirking face, but you then turn your attention back to the tour guide. You both pretend to listen.
“Really? ‘On your left?’” Chris finally says.
“What’s the matter? Captain Amer—“
“Shhshsh!” Chris hovers his thick pointer fingers, over yours and his mouths to signal you to stop your thought.
You brought your chin all the way into your neck as a natural instinct to retreat the offending phalange in your face. You push his hand out of the way before harshly whispering. “You gotta not!”
“YOU gotta not!” He harshly whispers back. You quirk your brow and slightly roll your neck at him. In a less anxious whisper he says, “Keeping a low profile, thank you.” Then it all makes sense. The cap, the hoodie, the shrunken stature and a standing in the back.
“Oh… my bad.” You deflate, once again returning your gaze to the speaking tour guide. You truly hadn’t thought of the repercussions of mentioning his Marvel movie moniker.
You’ve not had to deal with that level of notoriety… not yet, anyway. The level where a blown cover in public could mean the dissension of fans and paps alike. The level where you needed a cover in the first place. Sure, you get recognized every now and again, but you’re by no means at mega star, shades and hoodies, constantly looking over your shoulder status.
And you loved that. You could sympathize with Chris. You’ve seen how crazy it can get, and it definitely is worth protecting yourself from.
Chris has been trying to keep his attention ahead, but he glances at you every few seconds. He senses the air around you change. There’s a ballet of expressions dancing across your face. You knitted your brows together, released and raised them, with your eyes and lips following suit in similarly stressed movements and shapes. You’re deep in thought.
“You alright over there? Museum guidelines aren’t that moving.”
“I really didn’t mean anything by it. I just was trying to poke fun at you, not blow up your spot.”
Chris sighs and smiles at your sentiment. “It’s alright,” He bumps your shoulder when he sees you’re still distraught. He gets a smile out of you. “Hey, you know what would help? If you stopped staring at me. Would draw less attention.”
“Uh, puh-lease! You wish I was staring. Nice try at projecting, though.”
Chris quirked a confused brow, turning to you. “What do you mean?”
“I mean what took you so long to answer me a minute ago?” Shit, Chris thought. “That’s what I thought,” you sassed.
“I wasn’t staring at you per say. There’s a lil somethin’ in your hair…”
“What? What is it?!” You delicately touch around your curls searching for the offending object.
“Here lemme help,” Chris says as he stands to his full height over you. You look up at him with those darling eyes of yours, and he looks down at you, breath caught in his throat. Just a second later, he comes back to earth as he’s plucking something weightless from your hair. He slowly brings his hand down from your head to show you what he’s retrieved. “It’s just a little… piece… of stupid,” and he boops your nose.
“You know what!” You say in a loud whisper while you enjoy hitting his arm as retaliation.
Chris feigns hurt with a gasp. “That was mean,” he’s pouting trying to suppress his smile. He pokes out his elbow towards you. “Kiss it, make it better.”
“Ugh!” You shove him away, turning your head away from him, biting back your smile. You're failing miserably when you look back to him, and he’s wearing a boyish grin himself. “You are absolutely—“
“SHHHHH!!!!” You jump and Chris clutches his chest, both of you wide-eyed and taken aback by an old man that’s turned around to shush you two.“If you two are gonna flirt, do it quietly!”
You and Chris start to stumble over your words while talking over each other.
“No, whaaa? Flirt… Huh?”
“We weren’t, like…”
“Yeah, that’s not— um…”
“Totally not what’s—“
“Not like this is a date,” Chris blurts out with a nervous chuckle then freezes in place. It’s one of those *unfortunate* moments when his mouth moved faster than his brain. He stares straight ahead, not daring to look at you. If he had, he would have seen you had a matching stunned look from his blab.
“They’re sorry, Mr. Abara,” you both feel a hand on your shoulders as Lisa comes up behind you to intervene.“They’ll be on their best behavior from here on out, right?” She nods in a prompting manner, you and Chris following her lead.
“We’re sorry,” You mumble.
“It was her fault…” Chris says, earning him smack on the shoulder from his mom. “What?! It was!”
Mr. Abara turns around with a ‘hmph’, causing you and Chris giggle like teenagers at the grumpy old man. Lisa clears her throat and you and Chris straighten up.
“You two can’t help but draw attention to yourselves, huh?”
Before either of you could refute, the tour guide is ushering your group to the showroom for your day at the museum to really begin.
——————————————————————————
The exhibition was amazing to say the least. You’d never heard of the artist before, but you were astounded by her unique use of color, texture, and light in her work. And she was a sista? You were definitely going to keep her in mind for upcoming projects you had.
However incredible the artwork was, you’re not too sure how it compared to the entertainment that was the social show.
Your trio strolled together, taking in the majesty of the first few pieces. After a while Chris starts to linger behind you and Lisa for a bit. He admires the way you and his mom get along, walking arm-in-arm looking at the art.
The tour guide has everyone gather around a specific piece. “This one is my absolute favorite! It’s called ‘Mother Earth’. Do be shy; you can get close, but do not touch.”
When you step up to the piece, Chris is also does from the other side. He smiles and offers a quaint wave as if it’s your first time meeting. You reciprocate, and both proceed to lean in to the art for inspection.
“Wow,” you say as you marvel at the depth of blackness that outlines gaps for open air to breeze through. The piece has incredible curvature that makes the inanimate object look as if it were ready to continue dancing any minute now. All it needed was the right song or magic words to bring it back to life. You move around the pedestal to look at it’s other sides, Chris moving at the same rate across from you, equally as intrigued. There’s glints of gold, silver, emerald, and jade that add to its enchantment. “You ever see something so mysterious and beautiful and wonder, ‘Where did you come from?’”
“Yeah,” you move slightly, and your now eye to eye with Chris through one of the spaces within the sculpture. His Cerulean orbs pierce through to you thoughtfully, endearingly, making you wonder what he is thinking. “Yeah, I have.” Surely he’s not talking about…
“Alright people!” The tour guide shouts with a clap. “Let’s keep it moving!”
You stand up straight, while Chris glides over to you, hands his pockets, bouncing on his toes. You both have found the ground to be particularly interesting as you walk alongside each other to view the next piece of art. Standing before it, there’s not much of intellect input you can give with Chris’ presence fuzzing your brain. The silence is kind of enjoyable between you two, though. The pressure to fill the air with witty quips is at bay at this moment, and it's nice.
After a while, you both tentatively turn towards each other. Chris goes to say something, you’re sure it’ll be his analysis of what the artist’s intent is, but he doesn’t start his thought. Instead, his arm is being linked by some elderly woman.
“Uh, hello?”
“Hiya, Handsome,” she purrs, causing Chris to chuckle and rub the back of his neck. She leans her head on his shoulder and places her free, wrinkly hand on his chest. “So tell me what you think of this piece?” She says coyly.
“Umm…” Chris looks at you for help, but you are none. You just smirk and motion your head towards the art, urging him to answer her question. “Well, I think it’s speaking to the unique experience and intersectionality of being both black and a woman in the Diaspora. There are nods to the many hardships, horror, and passed down trauma that black women have and continue to endure, yet it so often turn into the most beautiful fruit, works worthy of high regard and praise by graceful, powerful women who are also deserving of such, tenfold.”
“Wow…” you and the ogling old-timer say simultaneously. He shyly looks at the ground and you shake off the spell of his summation. I’m not REALLY about to give this man points for stating basic YET ignored facts, am I? I’ll put a pin in this, but damn will I look at him differently.
“Y’know,” Chris’ amorous aged arm-candy starts, “I love a man who knows some BIG words and is not afraid to use ‘em!” she punctuates with a growl.
It takes everything in you not to laugh at Chris’ bugged out eyes and rosy face. You think you might’ve even seen a drop of sweat form on his brow. “Oh, okay…” he says as he tries to subtly pry the woman off of him. He looks to you for salvation again, but you’re already making your way to the next piece, waving at Chris over your shoulder, “I’ll leave y’all to it,” you laugh.
——————————————————————————
The tour’s come to an end and museum goers are starting to trickle out, some staying for the cheap hors d’oeuvres that are laid out. Chris managed to get his new lady friend off of him (might or might not have taken a few minutes of hiding in the bathroom), and he’s now flicking through his pictures of the day on his phone. There’s some of you and his mom smiling nicely at one another, him taking selfies with some of the work he considers posting later to shout out the artist, and some blurry ones of you, Chris, and Lisa, taken by a shakey hand museum goer.
The pictures that stop his swift swiping are of you admiring paintings on the wall. There’s nothing particularly special about these paintings; they were in the Baroque hall outside of the featured exhibit. You however, are thee something special. He can’t quite put his finger on it, but the way you fill the frame and effortlessly draw him in is magical to him. His favorite one from the set is the one with your back to the camera. Your silhouette has become iconic to him; standing out amongst the tired and basic. Holding your own in his brain.
“Just go talk to her. It’s better— less creepy— than staring at her picture.” Chris looks to his side to find Mr. Abara walking by extremely slowly passed.
“Oh, hey, Mr. Abara. Like I said before, it’s not—“
“What’re you scared, son?”
“Um… no, it’s… it’s just not like that.”
“Not like what?”
“Not… not like that,”
Mr. Abara nods slowly. “Sure it’s not.” Chris is thinks he hears Mr. Abara mumble something about not being born yesterday, but he’s already walking in your direction at the snack table.
When he arrives, you’re picking through the repulsive options. “Why the hell would they find this acceptable to give to old people?” You mumble under your breath. “I get their on they’re way out, but—”
“Talking to ourselves, are we?” Chris speaks up, causing you to yelp and jump out of your skin. His booming laugh and your screech cause some of the older museum goers to give you to the stank eye. “Oops, might’ve given some of ‘em a heart attack.”
“Might’ve given me a heart attack!”
“I realized something,” Chris changes the subject, picking up a grape to eat.
You sigh as your heart rate comes down. “What’s that?”
“That this is the first time we’re seeing each other in the daytime and without alcohol in our systems.”
You ponder on it for a second, “Really?” you question him and he nods.
“Huh, that’s… that’s a damn shame,” you laugh a little, and he does too.
“Sure is,” he agrees, popping another grape into his mouth.
“So, how do you like me sober and in natural lighting?” You jokingly ask him, motioning down your figure for added dramatics.
He sizes you up, eyes languidly travelling up your frame. The heat rises to your face just as his gaze does. He locks in on your eyes for just as second longer than what would be deemed an innocent look before saying, “Eh, you’re alright I guess,” nonchalantly, while going for another grape.
You shake your head at him slowly, a smug smile creeping on to your lips. “You just don’t wanna give me my props, huh? Whatever.”
The two of you laugh and chat for a while while waiting for Lisa. You’re interrupted by someone calling Chris’ name in the distance. You thought it was Lisa at first, relieved that you could call it day because your stomach was growling. However when you and Chris looked in the voice’s direction, you were more interested in staying a little while longer.
“Ooooh Handsome!!” Chris’ aged admirer chirped across the room. She must’ve been looking for him because her eyes were squinted and she moved her head from left to right in search of her unrequited beau.
“He’s right—”
“Don’t you dare!” Chris chides, his firm tone fluttering your stomach just a little. “We gotta go!”
He’s panicking over a lustful lady twice his age and you’re amused greatly, but you had no time to appreciate it as Chris put his hand on your lower back to lead you out of the museum. “Wait, what about your mom?” You tried to protest.
“She’ll find her way!”
“There you are!” Chris’ Boomer bugaboo exclaims.
“Go! Go! Go!”
——————————————————————————
“Well, this is my stop!” Lisa says as you all pull up to the youth theater where she works. She turns to you in the backseat. “Thank you for joining me today! Next time I’ll leave my son at home since he thinks he can leave me in the museum.”
“Hey! You didn’t see the look in that woman’s eyes! You would’ve ran like hell, too,” Chris exclaims from the driver’s seat.
“My poor baby,” Lisa pinches his cheeks as  she facetiously dotes and Chris rolls his eyes, eliciting a giggle from you. She pulls him close to her mouth to whisper something you can’t hear. You turn to look outside your window, your way of giving them privacy. 
“Are you threatening me, Ma?” You hear Chris humorously say.
“Threatening, mothering. Tomato, tahmato. Just do it. I’ll see you later, honey,” and with that Lisa leaves for work.
Chris drops his head, shaking it and laughing to himself.
“What is it?” You ask.
“Uh… my mom wants me to ask if you’d like to get some lunch. Since that museum food was shit and all.”
You arch a brow and contemplate the offer. You still weren’t so sure about hanging out with him solo. But I mean, I COULD eat.
Sensing your hesitation, Chris says, “It’s cool if… you don’t want to, I get it—“
“Sure,” you cut him off, unbuckling your seatbelt to climb over the front console to the passenger seat. You sit with a huff, and adjust your clothes. You looked over at him, and he’s got a look of slight disbelief. Unsure if it’s from you saying ‘yes’ or climbing into his front seat, you ask, “What?”
“Nothing, nothing…” he smiles at you. You look down at your lap, unable to meet his eyes. He lets his eyes linger on your shy form for a few seconds before clearing his throat, and asking, “So, uh, what kinda food do you want?”
“I’m down for anything.”
Chris amusedly huffs.“You women always say that, then when we men try to stick it in—“
“WOW, really?!” You swat at his arm and realize how buff he is because he didn’t even flinch. You try not to give in to your urge to laugh, but it’s hard when Chris is failing miserably and holding in his. You shouldn’t find it funny, but you kind of do. You let out a small laugh and roll your eyes at him. “You are absolutely childish.”
“No, not absolutely. I think I’ve prove to have some level of intellect today.” 
“If you’re talking about your dissertation earlier, verdicts still out on if you get a cookie.”
“S’long as there’s a trial,” he says with a heartwarming smile that you mirror. “And I was kidding, by the way, with the-- I don’t want you to think I’m some kind of pervert. You set it up for the joke, and I —”
“You don’t have to explain. I can take a joke.”
“Ok…cool.”
“Ok, cool,” you mimic him. “So what are we gonna eat?”
“You like pizza?”
“Who doesn’t like pizza?” you retort.
“True. Well, there’s this place, a true local staple ‘cos it’s the BEST pizza in Boston! Probably the whole world!” Gushes about this place.
“Not in the whole world!” you mock him. “Do they have vegan options?” He blinks at you. “What now?” you ask with a shrug.
“Are you fucking kidding me? You’re a vegan? Uggghhh!!!” Chris dramatically puts his head on the steering wheel.
You laugh at his antics. “Is that a deal breaker for you?”
He scoffs, then looks out his window, trying to avoid you seeing his cheeks turn red. You smirk to yourself knowing damn well you just made him blush. Still looking out his window at the rainy Boston day, “No real pizza place is gonna have ‘vegan options’,” he finishes with a Valley girl accent.
“First of all, it’s scary how good you are at that voice, and secondly, I beg to differ! You’ve clearly never been to Mellow Mushroom. Best pizza there is, AND there’s vegan options. I mean what did you get up to when you were in Atlanta?”
“Oh sweethaht,” he stresses his Boston accent, “you’re not ready for those stories…” he chuckles looking at you sideways through his lashes with a smirk, hoping you’d get the joke. He finds you trying to suppress a laugh, shaking your head then turning to look out the windshield, make him laugh in that mischievous way you’ve come to be fond of
“I know a place we could go to eat” you offer.
“Yeah? What kind of food?”
“Um… I don’t think I’ll tell you. It’s a surprise.”
“You’re lucky I’m in a ‘surprise’ kind of mood.”
You put the address in his car’s built in GPS, and you guys are on your way to lunch. But just before he pulls off, he looks at you with that boyish smile of his and sparkling blue eyes. You were re-applying your lip gloss in his overhead mirror. You turned mid-gloss glide, the wand still on your bottom lip. “What now?!”
Chris' gaze lingers on your lips before he looks up to your own sparkling eyes. “Nothing…” he said though you knew it was something; your heart didn’t flutter delightfully for no reason. “Nothing at all.”
Part 7 coming soon! What’d you think?

Tumblr media
It was nights like these that, although some might not like to admit it (ehm, Geralt), were everyone’s favorites. Starting out with (Y/n) and Jaskier pestering the Witcher to stop at an inn for the night instead of camping and Geralt reluctantly agreeing, also biting back a smile at their antics, which lead to the joyful singing from the rest of the party as they traveled. Jaskier’s cheerful voice mixing with yours. 
(Y/n) would be left in charge of steering Jaskier’s horse while he sat behind her, back to back, with lute in hand. Which, eventually, would always lead to him falling off. (Y/n)’s side splitting open in laughter, while Geralt allowed himself to laugh as well. Jaskier’s sore bottom was nothing compared to the sound of his dear friends’ laughter.
Lunch would pass rather quickly- Jaskier spending the whole time fantasizing about what ‘delicacies’ they would be eating for dinner and what the signature brews of the next establishment might be. As always, Geralt would grumble something about ‘booze is booze’ and he was going to drink whatever they had, and (Y/n) would laugh and lament the sweet dessert wines she craved, yet those were usually only found at banquets and parties. Unfortunately for her, and fortunately for Geralt, they wouldn’t be going to any of those in the foreseeable future.
Once in town the three would slip into their familiar routine of attending to whatever matters each might have. Geralt went looking for contracts, (Y/n) looking for herbs, and Jaskier securing their rooms. They would all return in just in time for supper and Jaskier’s performances.
Tonight was just like every other night like it had been, except there were a few exceptions. This tavern was particularly crowded and rowdy. Geralt and (Y/n) shared worried glances over their stew as this could mean trouble for their bard, but he seemed to have it under control. This quickly slipped from their minds anyway- the tavern offered one of (Y/n)’s favorite sweet wines. Geralt was now babysitting two overgrown children.
It wasn’t that (Y/n) couldn’t hold her liquor, not at all. In fact, she could give Geralt a run for his money on most days. If it weren’t for his mutations, she would probably have him beat. But that was most days, where all they drank was the local piss. This was something she enjoyed drinking, and when something tastes that good- it’s easy to forget just how many glasses you’ve consumed. So she sat at their table, merrily clapping and slurring along to Jaskier’s tunes. The rest of the patrons seemed to be in a good mood, so all was going well. 
Glancing down (Y/n) realized her mug was empty and stood up, rather abruptly and nearly spilling the rest of Geralt’s stew, to get another. It was only her second and they had plenty of coin, although Geralt’s count was at five. He rolled his eyes and let her stumble to the bar, smiling into his own ale. It wasn’t often his companions got to enjoy themselves like this. Plus, his warnings of slowing down fell on deaf ears, so it wasn’t his fault if she had a major hangover the next day.
(Y/n) waited patiently for her drink, tapping one foot to the beat as she watched her favorite bard. She found it hard not to, as he was so very distracting. His voice rang throughout the whole tavern, and he kept dancing in and out of her vision. Heads turned in his direction as he spun this way and that. She sighed and rested her cheek in her hand. (Y/n) swore he looked ethereal. The gentle flickering of firelight glinted off of his newly washed hair, the small bit in the front bobbing up and down as he moved. His bright blue eyes sparkled, full of energy and life, eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. And gods, when he smiled, he took her breath away. The whole world seemed to melt away as she locked eyes with Jaskier, his smile growing wider and a wink was thrown her way. (Y/n)’s heart skipped a beat. 
She was broken out of her stupor when a fresh mug slid her way and splashed her sleeve. She greedily took another drink not wanting to seem like she was staring too long. A satisfied hum escaped her lips as she put her wine back down, when something caught her attention. There was laughter off to her left, sounding much harsher than it should have. Listening in, she picked out what seemed like three men, all jeering at and mocking the bard. It immediately irked her, how could they not see that the embodiment of perfection itself was currently performing for them, putting his heart into every single note and phrase? (Y/n) glanced back over to Geralt, looking to see what his expression could tell. Though he said otherwise, she sometimes caught him quietly humming or tapping along to Jaskier’s songs. Geralt did not look this way. He was not enjoying himself in the slightest, his eyes formed into a hard glare and he looked bored. So very bored. (Y/n)’s head whipped back to the left as she heard the cruel laughter again, the men now beginning to heckle the poor bard. 
Jaskier finished his song. He gave a dramatic bow as the tavern cheered and clapped, but the rowdy table of men began to boo and toss chunks of bread in his direction. There was no way (Y/n) would let them talk shit about her bard.
“Oi!” She shouted, her stool clattering to the floor as she stood. “You better watch your fucking mouths, you dimwits!”
Jaskier’s smile faltered and he looked to (Y/n) with wide eyes. Geralt clenched his jaw and prepared for the worst. Somehow, their nights drinking always ended in a bar fight. One of the men stood up, his beady eyes narrowing at (Y/n).
“Oh yeah? You sure got some mouth on you then, sweetheart. What you gonna do about it, eh? Stupid woman you are.” His buddies joined in on his laughter.
Her nostrils flared, and there was a fire in her eyes. “Do you even know who you’re listening to? Who you should be sodding grateful you could even hear his music? This is Jaskier, the world famous bard. Also known as Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount of fucking Lettenhove.” She pounded her fist on the bar and nearby drinks sloshed at the impact. “He graduated from Oxenfurt Academy with honors. He travels with a witcher, fucking Geralt of Rivia. Ever heard of them? Oh well of course not. How could a small town idiot know anything of celebrities and lords when he spends all his time fucking sheep in piles of shit?”
“What the fuck you know about our town, bitch?! You obviously don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. It’s clear your bard here prefers the company of men, so you need real men like us to show you how it's done, you filthy whore!” He spat.
“So fucking what if he likes men or women? He’s great in bed! Everyone knows that and everyone wants to bed him! Hell, I want to bed him! His perfect chocolate hair and blue eyes and amazing voice and...argh!” She grabbed her mug and threw it at the man. She stumbled slightly but her aim proved true, splashing sticky her sticky wine all over the beady eyed man. “He’s the best fucking musician I’ve ever heard! Nobody gives him the credit he deserves!”
Geralt shot up from his seat and leapt at the man, who roared in anger and was about to attack. Jaskier stared in shock at the scene unfolding in front of his eyes.
“(Y/n)!” Geralt yelled, “That’s enough! Jaskier, get her upstairs!” He began wrestling with the man, Geralt easily had the upper hand due to his greater size and sobriety. 
“No! Nobody is appreciating Jaskier like they should!” (Y/n) slurred. Jaskier slung his lute on his back and rushed over to her.
“Shhhhhh, it’s okay, dear. I think they all get the message now. You’ve made it very clear how good of a performer you think I am, it’s alright. Let’s get you upstairs, shall we? I think you’ve had far too much to drink.” He attempted to calm her, struggling to lead her back in the direction of the stairs. (Y/n) thrashed and stumbled against him in protest. “Shh sh sh sh shhhhh, (Y/n). It’s alright. C’mon.” He grunted as he slung her arm around his back to support her weight. 
Geralt was busy dragging the unsavory man outside as the rest of the tavern was no longer silent. Cheers were heard for both the witcher and the drunk, though it was clear who was winning. (Y/n) stumbled up the stairs with Jaskier’s help. They stopped a couple times as she began to veer off to the right, straight into the wall and Jaskier needed to tug her back for balance.
After some struggle the two finally made it all the way up the stairs and into one of their rooms. Jaskier led (Y/n) over to the bed and tried to gently place her down, instead throwing her against it rather ungracefully. He rubbed his shoulder and sighed, bending down to begin to unlace her boots. 
“Ya know...I meant everything I said down there.” She began, eyes already heavy, “I’m sorry that I ruined your show…”
Jaskier laughed in response. “It’s alright….We’ll...We’ll talk about this in the morning, okay? I think we need to have a conversation when we both have our wits about us, hm?” He fetched a mug of water and placed it on the table beside her bed.
“You won’t leave me, will you?”
“Of course not, (Y/n). I’ll stay.”
“Mmmm...okay.” She snuggled into the pillows, her speech almost incomprehensible. “I love you, you silly bard.”
Jaskier pulled a chair close to the bed and sat down with a sigh, unable to hide his grin. 
“And I, you. Now get some sleep. We can talk about this when you wake up.”
Whatever it is she said next, he couldn’t make it out, it sounded more like a groan than actual speech. 
“And I, you...” He settled into the chair, removing his doublet and draping it around himself like a blanket. The smile remained on his face as he drifted off to sleep.

“Don’t Cry.” (Smutty Version)
Rhett imagined their reunion a thousand times. Now the moment was here, it wasn’t going anything like he’d envisioned.
In his daydreams, they’d locked eyes and were drawn to one another, like opposite magnets, into a slow-motion embrace. Smiles tearing their faces into blissful halves in their giddiness at being reunited.
But there was nothing giddy or blissful in Link’s demeanor, now Rhett had eyes on him. And it was hard to lock eyes with someone that wouldn’t lift their gaze after parking his car outside the creative house.
Rhett had had the silly notion that they should film their first meeting post-quarantine. It was the content the two-man vlogs were made for! Now, he was glad he’d kept that misguided idea to himself. Link looked like a wounded puppy as he approached Rhett.
“Hey,” Rhett offered tenuously. Rhett’s eyes worked him over. He looked… thinner, weaker? Tired. His man looked exhausted. He knew Link had been under a lot of stress, but the magnitude hadn’t sunk in until now. Link looked like he was about to detonate into an explosion, or implode and simply cave into himself.
“C’mere, bo.” Rhett extended his long arms, and Link folded into them numbly. It wasn’t the slow-motion, happy-teared embrace that Rhett had dreamed of, but it felt good to hold him again. “You okay?” It was a stupid question. But it was all he had.
Link nodded into Rhett’s chest, but his shoulders betrayed him as they began to shake.
“Let’s just… get you inside?” Rhett felt like an asshole for looking around as he guided Link inside. What was he checking for? To see if anyone was going to witness his best friend, a grown-ass man crying; or catch Rhett comforting Link like a child? Rhett scolded himself for focusing on the wrong things, re-centering his intentions on Link.
“What can I get you? What do you need?”
Link shook his head; his trembling intensified until his body was wracked with sobs. Rhett held him tightly and soothed, “Shhhh, shhhhh. Don’t cry.”
He wasn’t good at this. Never had been. But he remembered something Jessie had told him when their kids were younger and more prone to breaking down into tears.
You don’t urge them to stop crying for their sake.
You do it out of your own discomfort.
Let them cry when they need to.
Let them get it out.
“Actually, Link. Go ahead and break down. I got you.”
Link looked up at him, puzzled.
“It’s okay... I got you, go on and cry.”
Rhett took Link’s flushed and swollen face into his hands, and wiped the tears with his thumbs.
“You’ve been under so much stress. And holding it together for everyone you love. For everyone but yourself. You don’t have to be strong for me. Just… let it all fall apart.”
Suddenly Link was grabbing onto Rhett’s shirt, forcefully pulling him down onto the sofa, bringing Rhett’s face to his tear-tracked one.
Rhett’s heart hammered as he kissed Link back in earnest. He wasn’t trying to take advantage of the vulnerable state he was in - but god, if this hadn’t been the physical outcome he’d been secretly hoping for. The real reason he hadn’t mentioned filming. He’d wanted this moment for them. Alone.
“Link, I don’t know if you’re thinkin’ clearly right now…” If Link stopped now, Rhett would be simultaneously the most proud and regretful of this level of restraint.
“Rhett. I need this. I need you.”
“Need me to—?”
“Please, Rhett. Don’t. Don’t act like you don’t know.”
Rhett nodded. Of course, he knew.
Rhett could feel it as he held Link tightly, the tension easing from his body and he became softer, more pliant. He followed the lead of Link’s body. With lips, tongue, and hands. Trying to be everywhere Link needed him. Absorbing all of Link’s stress and anxiety into himself.
He was a big man.
He could take it.
Link undid Rhett’s belt and opened his jeans. He pulled out Rhett’s hardened cock, and gave it a couple slow strokes that made Rhett feel like he might leave his body and this whole earthly plane behind. Link then started to buck his hips to momentarily push Rhett off of him as he slid his own pants down and off.
Rhett looked at Link and began to speak, but Link cut him off.
“Don’t ask me again. Just fuck me.”
Rhett kissed him, and meant it with his entire being. He gripped Link’s straining hips, prepared their bodies best he could with tears and spit before roughly bringing them together.
He pressed until his hips were flush with Link’s. He could barely catch his breath with how cathartic this felt after being apart for so long. Seemingly taking his breath away as Link started to come alive.
He worked himself inside of Link he, worshipping the man beneath him with hands and eyes. He began to see what he’d been yearning for: Bliss. Elation. Absolute love.
Link was finally breathing easy. Deeply. Moaning sweetly for him.
It wasn’t long before he was emptying himself into Link, and refilling his soul with what had subconsciously become foreign. Hope. Safety. He was complete again.
Link was still trembling, but he wasn’t sobbing; his huge grin must’ve been agony for his face muscles.
“Holy shit….” Link sighed, catching his breath, and wiping sweat and tears from his face. “Crying like that… that… release. And the endorphins from that incredible orgasm piggybacking on the already wide open… feels?! Goodness, Rhett. I don’t reckon I’ll be able to come like that ever again without blubbering like a baby? I think you’ve both healed and ruint me!”
Rhett shook his head as they both laughed, lying together hand-in-hand, boneless and blissed out.
The psychological and physiological confirmation that they weren’t meant to be apart was nearly worth the experience of having been so for so long.
“The new normal…?” Link said.
Rhett smirked. “I’m looking forward to it already.”

Alone, Together | Chapter 35 | Morgan Rielly
Tumblr media
A/N: I just...someone call the Pope.
“First class again?” Bee asked as she looked down at the boarding pass that had just printed out from the kiosk at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.  She readjusted the Louis Vuitton tote bag on her shoulder – the same one that Lucy convinced her to buy all those months ago – and looked up at Morgan quickly.
“Did you expect anything less from me?” Morgan asked, looking down at her.  “I mean…really.”
Bee snorted as she took a closer look at the boarding pass in her hand, wondering if she got a window seat again or if she was in an aisle cubby.  As she looked at her seat number, a peculiar word caught her eye.  “Uh oh.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I think it printed out the wrong boarding pass for us.  We might have to go back up to that lady who took our luggage.”
“What do you mean?” Morgan said, his tone not phased at all by the apparent error.  Morgan flew all the time – this was probably a common error.  Did private team jets still print boarding passes?
“It says the destination is Kelowna instead of Vancouver,” Bee said.  
“That’s because the destination is Kelowna.”
For a moment, Bee couldn’t understand the words coming out of Morgan’s mouth.  She looked at him like he had three heads, trying to decipher the words.  “We…we’re going to Kelowna?” she asked.  He nodded.  “But…I thought we were going to Vancouver?”
“We are, silly.  I’m surprising you with a trip to the Okanagan Valley first, then we’re going to Vancouver,” Morgan was smirking at her.
“The Okanagan Valley?  You mean like B.C. wine country?”
“Precisely,” he leaned down to give her a quick kiss.  “Who would I be if I didn’t surprise you with something.  And don’t Morgan me.”
She sneered at him playfully.  “I wasn’t going to.”
“Sure.”
“But you do…I mean…” she began, wondering if she should even say the words.  “You do know we could be staying in a Motel 6 and I’d be happy.”
“Briony,” he said her name in a half-amused, half-warning tone.  He leaned down to kiss her again before continuing.  “What’d I say about this stuff.”
“I know, but--”
“We are going to have,” kiss, “a very good time,” kiss, “going on winery tours,” kiss, “and watching the sunset,” kiss, “over the Okanagan,” kiss, “and then we’re gonna take a roadtrip,” kiss, “to Vancouver,” kiss, “and watch the sunrise,” kiss, “over the Sunshine Coast,” kiss, “just like last time,” kiss.  
Bee couldn’t help but smile at his words.  She was also very conscious of the fact that he was kissing her multiple times in the middle of a busy airport.  She didn’t used to be that person, but Morgan brought it out of her.  She licked her lips and bit her bottom lip before looking up at him.  “You’re too good to me,” she mumbled.
“You get what you deserve, Bumblebee,” he winked.  “Now let’s go.”
***
When they touched down in Kelowna, they checked in at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort on the waterfront and changed into workout gear.  Morgan wanted to take Bee hiking up the mountain to see the views, and she was more than ready to comply, despite the fact that she knew she was out of shape and would probably have to stop several times along the way up the mountain.  She knew the views would be worth it, and if she was a sucker for anything, it was views from mountaintops.  Considering she had never been to Kelowna, she thought it the perfect introduction.  
They began their hike at the base of Knox Mountain Park, following the trail diligently and making sure to stay on the designated path.  There were a lot of hikers out and about due to the beautiful day outside, so there were many quick greetings and many dog pets as they made their way up.  About half way up the hike, they happened upon a group of middle-aged people – Bee would say they were probably around Rocco and Clarette’s age – with four golden retrievers between them.  Morgan was in absolute heaven.  Everybody stopped so the dogs could be pet, and one of the men eventually recognized Morgan, so everyone posed for a group photo.  Bee was pulled into it for some reason.  The man’s wife was so excited that she pulled Bee in.  It was all very nice, but unnecessary for her to be there.  She could have at least taken the photo.  
When they got to the top of the mountain about twenty minutes later, Bee gasped.  There, before her eyes, was Okanagan Lake and the city of Kelowna spread out across the landscape.  Though she was out of breath, probably red, and definitely sweating, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed at the sight before her.  The vast expanse before her was almost too much to handle; too beautiful to forget.  She focused hard, and long, creating a mental image in her head of the view so that she’d never forget it.  She didn’t want this memory to disappear.
It was only when she felt Morgan’s arm wrap around her waist that her trance sort of ended – even then, she couldn’t look at him, too transfixed on finding every little detail to remember.  The colour of the trees.  The sparkle of the water.  The deep blue of the sky.  “It’s beautiful, eh?” he asked softly.  
“Like…it’s not fair,” she said, causing Morgan to giggle slightly.  “I know I said this on the boat that morning in January but you’re so lucky that you got to grow up here.  Like, incredibly lucky.”
“I know, Bumblebee.  That’s why I want to bring you here all the time,” he admitted.  “I want you to love it as much as I do.”
She couldn’t help but smile as she finally looked up at him.  “I already do.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.  Just by virtue of the fact that you grew up here.  Never mind the views and the scenery and the people – they’re extra.  I love it because you love it.  Because it’s your home.”
Morgan leaned down to kiss her, not caring about how many people were around possibly watching.  Sometimes, Bee had the simplest reasons for things, and for a guy who got stuck in his head too much and came up with overly complicated explanations for things some of the time, it was that simplicity that he needed.  I love it because it’s your home.  It was the simplest sentiment but one that brought out the best in Bee.  She didn’t need anything besides the ground beneath her feet and her favourite people by her side.  Everything else was extra.  “I love you, you know that?” he whispered against her lips.
“You do?”
He pinched her butt playfully.  “Smart ass.”
“Yeah, but you love my ass.”
“You’re lucky I do.”
***
So you’re finally working out.  About fucking time, fat ass.  
Surprised you’re not off fucking Fred or Tyler for your 15 minutes of fame.  But then again, who’d want to fuck someone as desperate as you?
Making Morgan spend money on you again…typical.  Bleeding him dry.  If you were smart you’d be with Auston bc he has way more money.
All the Toronto girls are talking about you behind your back.  I hope you know that.  You’re still the biggest social climber ever.  You think you’re hot shit but you’re not.  And just because your new BFF is Aryne, it doesn’t mean a thing.  Everybody can see right through you.  When Aryne and Morgan dump you, it’s over for you.  You’re already so irrelevant.
Why do u think u can wear tights like that omg u look like a complete whale!
Go drown urself in that lake bitch
“Is everything okay?” Morgan asked as he crawled into bed beside Bee, snuggling up to her automatically as she lay in bed with a lace camisole pyjama set.  Bee had sent Angie a quick text to see how Bruce was doing, and Angie was supposed to have sent a video of Bruce back to them.  She and Mason were cat and house sitting the apartment while they were away.  
“It’s fine,” she sighed.  “Just reading the latest messages from my fan club.”
“Fan club?” Morgan asked.  When she gave him her phone and he saw the familiar layout of Instagram, he knew immediately what she was talking about and furrowed his brows.  
Ur soooooooo desperate for attention
U look like a cheap hooker…like not even an escort.  Ur so trash!!!!!
You should learn a thing or two from Lucy and her yoga business.  AKA stop leeching off your boyfriend!!!!!  You think you’re better than everyone else when you’re not.  SAD!
Morgan is stupid to be with you.  I don’t understand what he sees in trash like you.
“Bumblebee…you don’t…I can’t…” he couldn’t find the right words to say as he shook his head.  “I’ve gotta talk to Steve again…”
“He’s not coming back from Europe for you, Morgan.”
“Briony, you shouldn’t have to be dealing with this,” he said sternly, unable to joke about this like she was.  “I know how much this affects you, baby.  And it’s not fair.  It’s not fair that they can say whatever they want to you and you have to refrain from saying anything back.  That you can’t…that you…” he trailed off.
“That I what?” she asked.  She was practically able to see the gears shifting in his head.  
“You can’t say anything about it…but what if I did?”
“NO,” she half-screamed, grabbing her phone out of his hand quickly before his thoughts got the best of him.  She sat up in the bed and he followed her, sitting up too.  “Morgan Frederick Rielly, NO.  Don’t you dare.  Don’t you – that would make it worse, Morgan.  That’s the stupidest idea you’ve ever come up with.  Could you imagine the media coverage on that?  Kyle would blow a gasket, let alone Steve.  Shanny might have a stroke.”
“But I want to keep you safe, Bumblebee.  I need to keep you safe,” he tried to reason with her.  
“Not at the expense of your good reputation with the team and in Toronto and definitely not at the expense of your career,” she said sternly.  “Morgan Frederick Rielly, don’t you even think about it.”
“But Briony--”
“Don’t.”
“I don’t understand how you can handle all this.  It’s all my fault,” he said.  
“It is most definitely not your fault.”
“I feel guilty every day, every fucking time I have to read one of those fucking messages or see you torn up about it.  Canada Day wrecked me.  To see you like that…Briony, I can’t.  How can you be so…how can you handle it?  How aren’t you scared ab--”
“Shhhhh…” she said quietly, bringing her finger up to his lips to quiet him.  “Because my love for you is greater than my fear of that.”
Morgan took a moment to internalize her words.  His chest was heaving slightly, he was a bit agitated, and his mind was set on doing something about it himself if he had to, but all he had to hear was her voice, her smooth, calming voice, and all those feelings washed away.  “You…”
“My love for you is greater than my fear of that, or them, or anything they say to me,” she repeated, cradling his face in her hands as she kissed him.  “You need to start realizing that.  They can say whatever they want, and sometimes it might hurt me, and I might cry about it a little bit, but I’m stronger than that and I’ve been through way worse.”
Morgan sighed heavily.  “Bumblebee…”
“Shhhhh…” she shushed him again, her finger on his lips being replaced by her own lips.  “They’re all jealous.  That’s all it is.  Jealously.  Jealous that you’re mine and jealous that we’re building a life together.  Jealous that I get this giant hunk of man all to myself,” she whispered, kissing him again.  “Now…if you don’t mind, I’d like to show this giant hunk of man how grateful I am for him and everything he does.”
“B-Bumblebee…” he mumbled out before she kissed him again.
“Quiet, Mr. Rielly.”
Morgan did as he was told.  He began kissing her back, softly at first, then with a fervour he reserved only for her, that only she could bring out of him.  And when she began kissing along his jawline, climbing on top of his body simultaneously and rubbing her core on his thigh, all his thoughts dissipated completely, replaced with a hunger that he felt only for her.  He was insatiable for her.  He could never get enough of her.  He wanted her always, all the time, constantly, incessantly, persistently.  His body ached for hers.  It was crazy, he thought, how well they fit together.  How their bodies responded to one another instinctually.  He wouldn’t be able to find this with anyone else – couldn’t find this with anybody else.
Her took off her lace camisole easily.  With her breasts now exposed he took the opportunity to lean forward and take a nipple in her mouth, sucking and teasing and biting down gently.  She threw her head back, her long hair cascading down her back, and cradled his head in her hands before tugging on the tufts of his hair gently.  She took his shirt off easily.  Over it went, across the room, and she moved down his body to slip his boxers off slowly.
“Briony…” he managed to mumble out as she stayed there, grabbing his already hard cock in her hands.
“Shhhh,” she shushed him for the umpteenth time that night.  She began stroking it and watched as he gulped.  “I got you, baby.”
“I d…I don’t want to cum in your mouth,” he mumbled.  “Don’t – when I say--”
“Mmkay,” she said quickly, licking the tip of his cock.  “Just say the words,” she said in an almost playful tone before dipping down and taking him in her mouth.
He gathered some of her hair in his hand to get it out of her face; he didn’t want his view to be obstructed as she bobbed up and down, his cock disappearing inside her mouth further and further until he felt the head of his cock touch the back of her throat.  He closed his eyes momentarily, relishing in the feeling.  “Fuck, baby,” he sighed out.  
Bee let out a mischievous giggle, her fingernails digging lightly into his thigh.  “You like that, don’t you?” she asked as she scratched down slowly.  Morgan nodded his head desperately.  “You love it when I suck your cock.”
“Y-Yes,” he stuttered out.  “Fuuuck Briony, I love it when my cock is down your throat.”  He felt her dip down again, her tongue swirling around the tip, licking the pre-cum greedily.  “You better start touching yourself,” he told her.  
He watched as she slipped a hand down her body and underneath her shorts, wiggling out of them with ease.  By now, he was rock hard, and when Bee looked up at him with her big green eyes before she took him in her mouth all the way, hitting the back of her throat again, his hips buckled and he let out a loud groan.  She gagged slightly, his movements shoving his cock deeper into her throat, but when he looked at her again, she was already looking at him, a slight smile in her eyes that drove him fucking crazy.  “Briony…p-p-please--”
She ignored him, looking away and focusing on her movements instead, and the feeling of his hand tugging at her hair slightly so he could get a better look at her.  His grunts and movements gave her the confidence to keep going, to take risks and be as daring as she could.  It wasn’t long, though, before Morgan’s breath became heavier, his chest rising and falling with every gasp her took.  “B-Briony…”
She moaned on his cock in response, taking him to the back of her throat one more time before her mouth left his cock with a large pop.  “I want more of your cock, baby.  Just cu--”
“N-No,” he stuttered out.
“Babyyyyy,” she mewled, kissing the tip.
“No.  I want…I…get up here,” he huffed out.  
“Ba--” she tried again, but Morgan wasn’t having any of it.  His hand left her hair as he leaned forward, pulling her up and flipping her onto her back on the bed, his large body immediately over hers as he grabbed at her thighs and wrapped her legs around him.  He didn’t wait – there was no time to wait – and entered her quickly, the feeling of her warm walls around his cock causing him to moan out again.  
“Holy fuck Mo,” she gasped out, her legs wrapped tightly around his torso so he stayed buried deep inside of her, not allowing him to move just yet.  “Fuck baby.”
“Who gets too fill you up, Briony?”
“You, baby.”
“Who?”
“You, Mr. Rielly.  Only you get to fill me up,” she pulled his head down to kiss him passionately, lips and tongues everywhere.  
Morgan bit down on her bottom lip, dragging it away with him as he straightened out his back and unwrapped her legs from his body.  He brought them both together, keeping them over his shoulder as he looked down at her, her body flush with desire.  “You okay?” he asked.  She nodded her head quickly.  “You want my cock buried deep inside of you?”
“Yes Mr. Rielly,” she nodded her head.  
He began moving, slowly at first, her breasts bouncing along every time he thrust into her.  He would watch her breasts bouncing like that all night if he could.  He progressively kept getting rougher and rougher until he was pounding into her, her moans and cries fuel for him to give her more. “You like it when I fuck you like this?”
“Y-Yes,” it was her turn to stutter out.  “You feel so fucking good, baby.”
He could feel the heat inside of him growing.  He grabbed at her legs that were over his shoulder and pushed them forward, into her body, changing the angle so he could go even deeper.  She let out a string of expletives at the new feeling, her cries out music to his ears.  “S’deep babe,” she could barely get the words out.
“You like that?”
“Yes Mr. Rielly.  Yes.  I love it when you fuck my pussy hard like that.”
“Are you gonna make that pretty pussy cum for me, Briony?”
She could only nod her head as he continued to pound into her, fast and rough and wild, until he felt her walls clench around him and heard her scream out his name over and over again.  At the sound of his name escaping her lips so desperately and full of want, he exploded inside of her, leaning further into her so the angle was just right.  Bee huffed, trying to catch her breath.  
“Stay right there,” Morgan mumbled quickly.
“W…What?” she asked not understanding why he’d say such a thing.  Where the fuck was she going to go?
It didn’t take long for her to find out.  Two of his fingers slipped into her pussy quickly, causing her to gasp out, and they began moving quickly in and out of her, not allowing her to catch her breath or settle down from her first orgasm.  “Mo...” she gasped out, but instead of answering her he licked his way down her body.  He was being gentle but rough with his fingers, and she squirmed as she was pinned beneath him.  “Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo…” she kept repeating his name as he finally attached his mouth to her clit, lapping and sucking like he was drinking a thick milkshake.  “Mo, fuck, please.”
“All mine,” he mumbled against her pussy.  “All fucking mine.”
“All yours Mr. Rielly.  All yours,” she breathed out, grabbing hold of his hair.  Her body gyrated at the sensation and it was too much; in no time, she was cumming again, the sound of her wetness and Morgan’s fingers still moving in and out of her just amplifying it all.  He lapped up every last bit before moving back up, squishing her beneath his body as he kissed her.  
“I love you Briony,” he mumbled against her lips.  
She could taste her juices on his lips as she continued to kiss him.  “I love you too baby.  So much.”

“Wow, Ms. McTavish, you’re a natural!” Chef Michael smiled as Bee began basting the chicken breast cooking in the pan.  The chef looked over to Morgan, who had given up a long time ago and chose instead to just watch – Bee had no problem cooking his chicken breast too.  “You’re a lucky guy, eh?”
“The luckiest,” Morgan smiled as he watched Bee concentrating on the basting. 
“Does she cook a lot at home?”
Morgan nodded his head.  “My specialty is grilled cheese and breakfast for dinner.  She does everything else.”
Chef Michael focused his attention back to Bee.  “Alright Ms. McTavish, we need to let it simmer now.  Let’s focus on those broccolini sautéing with the garlic.  Think we should add more?”
“You can never have too much garlic.”
Chef Michael looked over at Morgan again.  “My kinda girl!”
“I learned some of my cooking skills from an Italian,” Bee continued, stirring up the broccolini.  “If a recipe called for two garlic cloves he’d put five.”
“Who are your friends?  Your family?  I need to meet these people!” Chef Michael exclaimed, so enthusiastic about everything.  “Let’s mince some more garlic in there.”
When all was said and done, Bee had perfectly prepared two plates of creamy chicken in a white wine sauce, roasted Japanese sweet potatoes, and sautéed garlic broccolini.  It smelled heavenly, and Morgan could tell she was so proud of herself as she fixed her plate with the last of the brocollini, Chef Michael instructing her on how to present everything beautifully.  When she finished, he presented them with a bottle of white wine from the winery to have with their meal, uncorking it and pouring it for them.  
“You two can bring your dinners out onto the patio with you.  Ray will come to clean up the pans and dishes while you eat,” he said.
Morgan nodded but Bee furrowed her brows.  “Oh, there’s no need for someone to clean up.  We can just do that after.”
Chef Michael paused his movements momentarily.  “No no Ms. McTavish, it’s fine.  Ray will be in any second with the busser to take everything away.”
“I insist--”
“No ma’am, it’s fine,” Chef Michael stressed.  “It’s part of the service.  You can just enjoy your meal on the patio.  You worked hard on it.”
“Bumblebee,” Morgan said gently.  “It’s alright.  We can go.”
She looked between Morgan and Chef Michael hesitantly before giving in.  “Okay.  Um, thank you,” she said, more awkwardly than she would have liked.  “Are you positive?  Because I can just wash everything after dinner.  It’s no big deal.”
Chef Michael let out a laugh.  “Go enjoy your meal Ms. McTavish.  And have a good night.”
Bee followed Morgan out onto the patio with her plate and wine glass, his own already on the table.  She looked back into the room as Morgan closed the sliding door, watching as Chef Michael gathered all the dirty cutlery and utensils and put them all in the sink.  She looked to Morgan, who had pulled out her chair for her.  “Does that usually happen?” she asked.
“Does what usually happen?”
“People cleaning up after you in these fancy shmancy places,” she clarified, setting her plate and wine down on the table.
“If you request for butler service, yes.  But we didn’t get that,” Morgan said, knowing that would be her next question; that she would give him one of her looks if he did.  “I think it’s just a part of the service they offer with the chef.  I think they figure you’d want to eat right after instead of clean up.”
“It’s a bit…I mean, I can clean up after myself.”
“Not everybody is responsible and sensible like you,” he leaned his head down to kiss her quickly.  “Now, let’s eat, shall we?  I want to have a romantic dinner with my girlfriend.”
Romantic it was.  Morgan couldn’t keep his eyes off of her.  The scenery spread out before them was beautiful – just like everything else was in British Columbia – but he could only transfix his eyes on her, watching her as she ate and listening to anything she began talking about – how it was supposed to get cool that night, how Angie had sent her a new video of Bruce with the zoomies, how Mark had texted her that they had made record profits the past month for a particular client of theirs.  If her voice were the only thing he heard for the rest of his life, he’d still die a happy man.  
When they finished their meal, Bee stacked their plates on top of one another.  She brought them into the villa, setting them in the sink before popping her head out the sliding door.  “Is there a way you can call so they can come get these plates and not bother us for the rest of the night?” she asked.  “I don’t want anyone coming back in.  I just want to watch the sunset with you.”
“Yeah, of course,” Morgan nodded his head, getting up from his seat.  “I’ll call.”
“Good.  I’m going to the washroom,” she said, disappearing into the bedroom.  
After some time, Ray was back to collect their plates and ask if they wanted anything else taken care of the night.  Morgan declined, thanking him, and let him go for the night, making sure to lock the door behind him as Ray left.  He found it a bit peculiar that Bee was still in the washroom.  He hoped the food didn’t get to her; there’d be some strongly worded complaints if it did.  
“Bumblebee?  You alright in there?” he called out.  He glanced at the screen door quickly to see the sunset in full bloom.  
“I’m okay,” she said.  “Is Ray gone?”
“Ray’s gone,” Morgan confirmed.  “You feeling okay, Bumblebee?”
“I’m feeling fine,” she responded, but he could tell her voice was a little off.  “Can you…um…can you make sure the door is locked?”
“Already is.”
“Okay.  Can you come into the bedroom?”
Morgan furrowed his brows.  “Of course,” he said.  “Are you sure you’re okay, Bumblebee?”
“I’m fine,” she confirmed, still calling out from the closed washroom.  “Just…you know…get comfy.  Change into your pyjamas.  I’ll be out soon and we’ll go out and watch the sunset.”
Morgan did as she said, stripping himself down and changing into his pyjama bottoms.  He sat in the chair, folding the jeans he had been wearing, before the light in the bedroom mysteriously turned off.  He looked up, only the light from the sunset peeking through the window.  “Bumblebee?” he saw her stand outside the doorway to the washroom.
“Hey.”
“What’re you doing?”
“Good thing you’re already sitting in the chair.  Topless, even,” there was a slight laugh in her voice, not answering his question.  She turned on the lamp, illuminating the room romantically.  He noticed she was wearing a robe.  She never wore a robe at home.  
“What’s this?” he asked, his eyes wide as he noticed it was a silk robe, lace trim dangling from the ends of sleeves.
Bee smiled shyly.  “Just a little something.”
“Just a little something, huh?” Morgan gave her an up-down, throwing his jeans onto the floor beside him.
“Mhm,” she nodded her head, playing with the tassels that tied the robe together.  “You know…I bet all that cooking must have taken a lot out of you,” she winked.
Morgan couldn’t help but giggle slightly.  “Oh, it did.  I am spent.”
“Well then.  Just sit back and let me give you a show,” she smiled devilishly.
“A show?” Morgan asked.  Bee nodded her head slightly.  “You…you planned something?”
“Is that okay?”
Morgan couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.  His body already felt on fire.  She had planned something – with that robe on, and whatever else was underneath it – and was asking if it was okay?  “Of course baby,” he said softly.  “Let me see.  Let me see what you’ve planned.”
Standing far away from him, she bent over and leaned forward, placing a quick kiss on his lips.  “I trust you.”
“And I trust you.  And I love you.”
“Good to know.  Because by the end of this I have every intention of you fucking me like you don’t.”
Morgan’s pupils dilated.  He gulped nervously.  He watched as Bee straightened herself out and took a few steps back, playing again with the tassels on the robe before she started to sway her hips slowly back and forth.  She worked on untying the tassels slowly, achingly so, and Morgan could feel himself getting hard with each passing hip sway.  Eventually, she pulled, untying the bow and letting it fall, the robe becoming looser.  A hint of pink lace peeked its way out of the robe.
“Briony…” Morgan barely made out her name.
“Yeah baby?” she asked in an innocent voice, her fingertips gliding along the edge of the fabric near her chest.
“What…what did you--”
“Shhhh baby,” she cooed, approaching him slowly, seductively.  “What did I tell you?”
“But baby--” he tried reaching out to grab the fabric of the robe.
She smacked his hand away quickly.  He looked at her in the eye, shocked.  “Don’t touch me,” she ordered.  “Don’t touch me unless I tell you.  Just watch.”
She saw his chest rise and fall dramatically.  “Briony--” he tried to grab at her again.  
“Don’t.  Touch.  Me,” she stressed, smacking his hand away once more.  “Unless you want me to stop.  Then you’ll have to take care of that,” she eyed down to the growing bulge in his pants, “all alone.”
There was a fire in her eyes and Morgan knew she meant it.  This was completely new – he was completely blind-sided – but he wasn’t exactly complaining.  He loved seeing this sort of confidence from Bee.  He thought it partly cute, partly evil that she had planned this – masterminded it from the beginning.  He nodded his head, agreeing with her.  He couldn’t formulate a word.  There was no point.
She took a couple of small steps back – far enough so Morgan couldn’t reach out, and far enough so he could get a full body view – and started to pull the robe down her shoulders slowly, letting it fall to the floor dramatically revealing, inch by inch, the blush pink floral lace bralette and garter set, complete with a matching pair of pantyhose.  
“Oh my fucking God,” Morgan mumbled in disbelief.
A smile adorned Bee’s face.  “Do you like, Mr. Rielly?”
Morgan nodded, beginning to feel an uncomfortable strain in his pants.  “Yes,” he nodded his head almost desperately.  “Yes.  Yes.  I love it,” he was a gibbering mess.  
“D’you like the colour?”
“Yes.”
“And the lace?”
“Yes.”
“What about the garter?  And the pantyhose?”
“I love it all,” the desperation was evident in his voice.  “I love it all.  Every fucking piece of it.”
“Good,” she bit her bottom lip, running her fingers along the lace of the thong that hung on her hips.  She took a step towards him.  “So if I came closer…” another step, “and closer,” another step, “and closer,” one final step, “you’d be able to keep your hands to yourself?”
Morgan huffed out a breath.  “I don’t…”
“If I put my hand on your chest…” she moved to do exactly that, walking to his side.  His head followed her as far as it could until she was behind him.  “If my breath grazed the back of your neck…” she moved, again, to do exactly that as she stood behind him, her hand still on his chest as she gave the skin on his neck a quick kiss.  She took a few steps so she was standing in front of him again, turning away so her back was towards him, her ass in full view.  “If I sat in your lap, would you be able to keep your hands to yourself?”
She didn’t give him the chance to answer.  She lowered herself onto his lap, swaying her hips back and forth for good measure.  She heard Morgan grunt as she did so, absolutely fucking loving that she was getting such a reaction out of him.  She felt powerful.  Sexy.  Sensual.  She could feel the erection already in his pants and it made her the most confident she’d ever been.
“Fucking hell, Briony,” Morgan whispered.  Like clockwork, it didn’t take long for her to feel his hand on her ass, even if it was just a quick caress.  
She rose up quickly and slapped his hand away for a third time.  He whined out in protest as she walked away from him, flipping her hair over her shoulder to look at him.  “No.  Touching.”
“But Briony--”
“Do you want me to stop?”
“NO!  No no no,” he shook his head.  “Please God no.”
“No more touching.  Do you understand me?” she said, her voice seductive but stern.  “No.  More.  Touching.”
“I won’t.  I won’t.”
“Promise me,” she demanded.
“I promise.  I promise you,” he was desperate, so desperate.  “I swear to you, I won’t touch you.  Fuck Briony, fuuuuck, I w…I won’t touch you.  Not unless you tell me.  Just get back here.”
“Not until you beg.”
Morgan whined out again.  “Briony.  Briony please.”
“Beg.”
Morgan could swear there were tears forming in his eyes.  “Please Briony, I promise.  I’m begging you.  Come back here so I can look at you.  Please.  Please.”
Briony smiled, biting down on her bottom lip again.  “If you touch me without my permission again it’s over.  Keep your hands to yourself.”
Morgan nodded his head.  “I will.  I’ll keep my hands to myself, I promise.  Now please.  Please come back here.”
Bee sauntered over to him, bending over so her breasts, covered by the delicate lace, were right in his face.  She leaned forward so the material gently grazed against his nose and lips.  “Lace is your favourite, isn’t it?” she asked, already knowing the answer.  Morgan nodded his head.  “You always go crazy for me in lace.”
“You look perfect in it,” his voice was low.  “You make it look perfect.  Every time.”
She straightened out briefly so she could turn around again, her ass facing him as she sat down on his lap.  “You love spanking me too, don’t you.”
She heard his sharp intake of breath.  “Y-Yes,” he stuttered out.
She looked over to see his hands gripping the armrests of the chair, his knuckles almost completely white.  Excellent.  “Especially when I’ve been a good girl?”
“I…y…yes,” he huffed out, stuttering again.  She watched as his hands shook through the grip he had on the armrests.
“Am I being a good girl right now?” she asked, grinding down against him gently.  
“I’d reckon you’re being a bad girl right now.”
Bee let out a giggle, looking at him over her shoulder.  “Is that so?”
“You’re being a very bad girl teasing me like this,” he reasoned.
“Whoops,” she rolled her eyes playfully at his answer.  “Sorry not sorry.”
“Briony, please.”
“Please what?”
“I need to touch you,” he begged.
“I don’t think you’ve earned that yet.”
“Wh – I – please,” he continued to beg.  “You don’t understand, Briony.”
“Not yet,” she shook her head.  She stood up again to face him, placing her hands on his chest.  His eyes were pleading with her, but she didn’t budge.  “What do you think of the garter and pantyhose?” she asked again, just to torture him.
“I love it.  I love it all,” he said.  “It looks so, so sexy.  It’s driving me fucking crazy.”
Her hands made their way down his chest and over his bulge, settling on his knees as she shifted her weight from one leg to another again and again before flipping her hair in front of him dramatically.  She promised him she’d give him a show, so she was going to give him a show.  She incorporated her movements into pulling his pants off of him, revealing how rock hard he was.  After scratching her nails up and down his thighs, she settled them on his knees once more before spreading his legs open dramatically.  Morgan looked at her wide-eyed before she squatted down between his legs, her hips swaying from side to side.
“Jesus fucking Christ Briony,” his voice was frantic as she spun around on her tiptoes, still squatted, before swaying her hips back up into his face.  “Briony.”
“You like that?” she ignored his pleading tone, knowing all he wanted was to touch her.
“Yes.  Please Briony, can I t--”
“What about when I do this,” she said, spinning around to face him before climbing on to his lap.  She flipped her hair in his face again, and began to grind down.  His hands left the armrest dramatically, ready to grab her, but with every ounce of will he had left in – which wasn’t much – he balled his hands into fists and kept them away from her.  She shoved her chest into his face, her hands on his shoulders and nails digging into his skin.
“Briony – you fucking – you don’t – you can’t--” he muttered out.
“You want to fuck me with this on, don’t you?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“You don’t want me to take it off?”
“No.  Keep it on.  Keep it all on.  I’m gonna fuck you so hard you won’t be able to fucking walk tomorrow,” he told her as she grinded down on him again, his cock rubbing up against the fabric of her thong.
She smiled.  “That’s what I like to hear, Mr. Rielly.”
“Can I touch you?  Please?”
“No.”
“Briiiiiiony.”
“Not.  Yet,” she said, arching her back.  “Tell me something Morgan,” she began.  He gave her cut eye.  Her right hand slipped down between their bodies to her hot core.  “Do you like it when I touch myself?”
Morgan huffed.  “I like it when I touch you better.”
“Why?”
“Because I know how to make you feel good,” he said.  “Because I like making you feel good.”
“And when you get to touch me, what are you going to do to me?”
“That’s for me to know and you to find out.”
She smiled.  She grabbed his cock without warning and began to stroke it teasingly.  She felt his hips buckle at her touch and knew she had teased and agonized him long enough.  She grinded down on his lap one last time, for good measure, feeling just how hard his cock was.  “Morgan?” she whispered in his ear.
“Yes Briony?”
“Make me be your good girl.  Fuck me so hard I won’t be able to walk tomorrow.”
Morgan was like a man possessed.  In what felt like less than a second he grabbed her, picked her up, and threw her on the bed.  He climbed onto the bed after her and flipped her over so she was flat onto her stomach, her legs spread apart for him but her ass slightly raised.  She arched her neck to look behind her and saw him hovering over her.  “You think you can play games like that with me and get away with it?” he asked her, his voice low and coarse and his hands went to the small of her back, pressing down so she stayed laying flat on the bed.
“You liked it, didn’t you Mr. Rielly?” she asked, her voice playfully innocent in tone.  “You kept telling me how much you liked it.  You begged to keep me close.”
He leaned forward so he could whisper in her ear.  “Now I’m gonna make you beg,” he said, watching as her lips curved into a smile.  
“Like your good girl?”
“Like my good girl,” he nodded his head.  “I want to hear you scream my name.”
“Yes Mr. Rielly.”
“You can’t cum until I say so.  Understood?”
“Yes Mr. Rielly,” she nodded her head, feeling his body loom over hers.  He was still holding her down so she could barely move.  “Mr. Rielly, if I be a good girl will you spank me?”
Morgan laughed mischievously.  “We’ll see about that.  Maybe if you ask nicely,” he said.  
Without warning, he entered her hard and quick, unable to wait any longer.  Bee cried out automatically at the feeling – everything from the speed, to the size of his cock, to his holding her down, to the angle that he entered her, made him go so deep that she swore she could already see stars.  He didn’t start slow either; he was desperate and needy and didn’t have time for any of that, so he rocked into her hard and fast.  She screamed out in pleasure over and over again, savouring the feeling.  He was being a bit rougher with her than normal, but she loved every second of it.  She wanted it.  She had asked for it, and he had complied.  He was doing exactly what she wanted him to do, and they had the trust in each other to do this.
The way he was holding her lower back down, keeping her in place, meant the angle was deep – and with the force he kept pounding into her with, she knew she wouldn’t be able to last long.  But just as he complied – as best he could, he did slip up twice – to her rule of ‘no touching’, she knew she would have to comply to his rules now too.   “Mr. Rielly,” she said between her screams and moans, “Mr. Rielly it’s so deep.”
“You like it when it’s deep like that, huh?” he asked.
“Your cock is so big and it always goes so deep,” she said, knowing it would stroke his ego.  “Can you spank me, please?”
She heard Morgan huff out a laugh, barely missing a beat as he continued to fuck her.  “No.”
“But Mr. Rielly--”
“No.”
“Please Mr. Rielly, I want to be spanked so bad.”
“I don’t think you’ve earned that yet,” he threw her own words back at her.  She almost regretted the decision to use that language when she was teasing him – almost.  But there was no way she could ever regret anything that brought her so much pleasure.  “You have to beg, remember?”
Morgan could hear her whimper.  “Pleeeease Mr. Rielly.  Please spank me.”
She felt one of his hands leave the grip he had on her lower back and she prepared herself.  Instead, she felt him grab her hair and tug her towards him, so her back was flush against his chest momentarily.  His hand snaked around and went to her clit, and he bit down on the skin of her neck before moving up to her ear.  “Beg.”
“Please Mr. Rielly,” she was practically on the verge of tears.  “Please please please, I’m begging you to spank me.”
“If I spank you are you gonna cum?”
“No,” she answered automatically, shaking her head slightly.  “Not until you tell me to.”
He smiled, a throaty laugh escaping him.  “That’s right.  That’s my good girl,” he cooed, pushing her back down so she was flush against the bed again.  With one hand on her lower back holding her down, the other hand spanked her ass.  She let out a cry of pleasure, and with another spank, another cry.
“Harder,” she mewled out
“Harder?”
“Fuck me harder, Mr. Rielly.  Spank me harder.”
Her spanked her again, red marks already appearing on her ass from before.  He rubbed the area gently before spanking it one more time.  “You want to cum, don’t you?”
“Yes,” she said quickly, not bothering to hide how close she was.  “I want to cum so bad.”
“If I spank you again will you cum?” he asked.  Bee nodded her head.  “Then no.”
“No, please,” Bee cried out.  “I can’t – I won’t--”
“Are you going to take more like a good girl?” he practically growled out, holding her down again with both hands now.  
Bee didn’t answer automatically this time.  She was trying to regain composure, trying to regain whatever semblance of sanity she had left in her body.  “Y-Yes…” she whispered, barely audible.
“Are you going to take more like a good girl?” Morgan asked, louder to insinuate how loud he wanted her to be.
“Yes,” she said aloud.
“Like my good girl?”
“Yes!” she screamed out.  “Like your good girl.  Always your good girl, Mr. Rielly.”
Morgan continued pounding into her for a while, even harder than before.  Bee’s cries became louder, as did the sound of cock throbbing in and out of her hot core.  With the prelude leading up to this, the dirty talk, the sound of Bee’s moans and cries, and the fact that he probably could have cum while sitting in that God forsaken chair if Bee had grinded down on him just one more time, he was surprised to have lasted this long anyway.  He could feel his body getting flushed and hot and knew he was close.
“Are you ready for my cum, Briony?” he asked.
“Yes, Mr. Rielly,” her voice was coarse from all the noise she was making.  “I’m always ready for your cum.  Always.”
He spanked her again a few more times for good measure, getting some more desperate cries out of her, before tugging her hair one last time to bring her back against his chest.  “You’ve been such a good girl,” he cooed as he gave her a sloppy kiss.
“I love it when it’s like this,” she managed to get out through hooded eyes and desperate whispers.  “I love it when I’m your good girl.  When you take me from behind.  When you fuck me like I’ve never been fucked before.”
“You like me fucking you hard and fast?”
She nodded her head.  “I love it so much Mr. Rielly.”
He snaked a hand around her body and began rubbing circles on her clit.  “You ready to cum, Briony?”
“Yes.  Fuck, yes.  Please.”
“When I spank you I want you to cum,” he instructed her.  “And I don’t want you to stop.  Understood?”
“Yes.  Yes yes yes yes,” she said in hushed whispers.  
Bee waited a few moments, and when she didn’t feel the hard smack on her ass she whined.  She waited for another few moments – and still nothing.  She was desperate.  She was going to kill him.  She was going to cum any second.  “Mr. Ri--”
Smack!
She cried out, loud, her orgasm pulsating through her like a tidal wave, her entire body shaking and her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath.  Morgan continued to pound in and out of her with his throbbing cock, while his hand continued to rub at her clit, giving her orgasm after orgasm, over stimulating her just how she liked it.  After what felt like a million of them – a million different orgasms, a million different cries, a million different moans and desperate shouts of his name – she finally, finally, felt his hot cum pour into her, filling her up as his cock twitched and throbbed inside of her.  She felt his body shake against hers, his own moans and desperate calls out of her name filling the air as they rode out their orgasms together, clinging on to one another.
Bee swore she could still feel an orgasm ride through her entire body as he pulled out, the both of them collapsing on the bed trying to catch their breath.  Her core was still so hot and sensitive as she curled up in Morgan’s arms, both their bodies hot and glistening with sweat.  She was surprised the lingerie made it through – that Morgan didn’t rip it off half way through or take it off with his teeth or something.  She was glad it got this reaction out of him.
“Bumblebee…” she heard Morgan’s voice, barely above a whisper.  “I wouldn’t have done that with anybody else but you.”
She smiled, curling further into his body.  “I wouldn’t have done that with anybody else either,” she responded, reaching down below their bodies to grab hold of his cock.  “Thank you for indulging me.  For giving me exactly what I wanted.”
“I love you so much,” he mumbled, feeling her put his softening cock at her core again, the heat still so comforting.  “I love you.  I love you.  I love you.”
***
Bee was a bit sad to leave Kelowna and the Okanagan area, after having experienced its beauty, great weather, and lovely people, but she had to remember she had Connor, Andy, and Shirley Rielly waiting for her on the other side, eagerly anticipating her presence in Vancouver for the second time that year.  Earlier that morning, she and Morgan had checked out of Hester Creek Winery, where they had been staying for the past three nights, and loaded everything into their rental car for their five hour road trip to Vancouver.  After a last minute stock up of the wine from the winery, and a very last minute stop at Tim Horton’s for some coffee and snacks to sustain themselves (like good Canadians) they were on their way, the GPS system directing them where to go.
“You tell me anytime you want to stop to take pictures,” Morgan said as they took the on-ramp onto the highway.  “It’s going to be a pretty scenic route.  Especially when we drive through the provincial park.”
“I will,” Bee smiled, stuffing a Timbit into her mouth before feeing Morgan one.  “I’ll try not to stop too much.  I don’t want this trip to take eight hours.”
“Nuh uh,” Morgan shook his head.  “You just tell me whenever you want to stop.  We can take ten hours.  It doesn’t matter.”
“Your parents are expecting us for dinner.”
“We’ll call them and tell them there’s traffic,” he said, his mouth still full with the Timbit.  He winked at Bee as she gave him one of her looks.
Morgan reached over the console and grabbed her thigh, exposed thanks to the pretty sundress she was wearing, squeezing it gently as the road opened before them.  It was there for a while, as they continued to drive on the open road, occasionally squeezing and massaging her skin before it crept higher and higher, getting dangerously close to her core.
“Keep your eyes on the road, you perv,” Bee placed her hand above Morgan’s to stop it from going any higher.  If it did, she knew he’d probably swerve off the road.
“I am keeping my eyes on the road,” he reasoned.  “My mind, on the other hand, isn’t on the road.”
Bee snorted, shaking her head playfully.  “You want to fuck me in this rental car, don’t you?”
“Maybe.”
She couldn’t help but snort.  At least he was being honest.  “Why’re you so horny all the time?” she giggled.
“You make me.”
“If you keep it up we’re gonna end up having ten kids.”
There was a silence between the two.  It wasn’t awkward, or charged, or because either was tongue-tied and didn’t know what to say.  It was just…a silence.  A comfortable silence, the road of the car on the road filling the void, until Morgan spoke first.  “We’re not having ten kids.”
Bee couldn’t help but smile.  “No.  Definitely not.  I’m not doing that to my vagina.  We’re not the Duggars.”
“Two or three is good,” he said.
Bee nodded her head in agreement.  “Two or three.  One of each.  Whatever happens first.”
Morgan took his eyes off the road to look at her.  She noticed his smile.  How he was looking at her; like he’d just laid eyes on the image of perfection.  “Yeah.  You…you’ve thought about it, then?”
Bee nodded her head.  If she thought about the wedding, and establishing a life together, there was no way she didn’t think about kids either.  “Of course.  You know I want kids.”
“I know.  But like…”
“I want kids with you, if that was going to be your next question,” she said.  “I mean, there’s no question.  It’s you.  I’m not having anybody else’s kids.  I’m having your kids,” she stressed.  
“Okay,” he said, unable to contain the smile on his face.  “I uh…yeah.  Okay.”
“Tongue tied, are we?”
“No,” he kept trying to contain his smile.  “Not at all.  Just glad you’ve thought about it too.  That’s all.”
“I know…I know you’ve always initiated these conversations in the past,” she said, thinking out loud at this point.  “Whether drunk or tipsy or not.  But I think about this stuff do.  I do love you more than I can describe with words.  I just…I think because of my background, because what I’ve been through, I’m a bit less open about it.  Because my mom never wanted to hear it when I was a young kid, and because I never really loved her later on growing up.  But I do love you.  And like…I want everything with you.  A life.  A house.  Children.  I may not vocalize it, but I do.  And I don’t picture myself having all those things with anybody else.  I only want it with you.”
Morgan flipped his hand so he could hold hers and bring it across to his lips so he could kiss it and hold it across his chest.  “I only want it with you too,” he said, his lips rubbing against her hand.  “I’ve only ever wanted it with you.  And I want to give you all that.”
“I want to give it to you too.  This is a relationship.  A partnership.  We can give each other these things,” Bee clarified.
“Yeah.  You’re right.  That’s what I meant,” he nodded his head again, correcting himself.  “We can give each other these things.  A life.  A house.  Children.  But not for a while – children, anyway.  We…we’re already building a life together.”
“We are.”
“Everything else will come in time,” Morgan said confidently.  “I’m just…I know I’ve told you this before, but I thank my lucky stars every single day that it’s you in this life with me.”
Bee smiled again, unable to keep her eyes off of him.  “And I thank my lucky stars you sent a mojito to my table.”

mingi : friends to lovers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
warnings: none!
type: bulletpoint au, fluff
word count: 1989 (a lil short!! i’m very sorry)
a/n: as a san stan, we get fed content every 30 minutes and y’all mingi stans are the backbone of the fandom
you and mingi have a very sweet friendship, really
he and you would most likely die for each other
but also if he touches your charger you WILL kill him
you met through another friend, at their birthday party
right after you congratulated them and handed them their gift, mingi came around the corner and clumsily nearly spilled a drink on you
he still apologized though!!! AND offered to check for you if there was a drink anywhere
your friend laughed and introduced you two
'he's cute isn't he?'
oh boy was he!!!
he really was sweet too; you didn’t know anyone else but your friend and now, him, and he was nice enough to let you stick to him like glue
you even ended up exchanging numbers, and playing 8ball in your respective cabs when the party ended
from then on you began texting
and it grew into exchanging social media
to being inseparable in real life too
mingi would constantly bug you to go out and eat with him
and you’d frequently go shopping together (or window shopping. mingi just LOOKS stingy)
when your snap streaks had officially reached 420 days, mingi made sure to screenshot it and post it on all social media
as he did with any you content in general
and let’s be honest with ourselves— mingi’s a very, very beautiful person
so there was no shortage of people in his dms
most of which happened to be opening with ‘are you single’
because of your numerous posts together, it just didn’t seem likely
but really, you’d say ‘ew’ to that, because ew, that’s your best friend
who you’ve seen snotty crying over a picture of a particularly small puppy resting on a very large cat
and who has seen YOU snotty crying over the same picture but shhhh
you honestly think there’s no way you like him
your heart doesn’t palpitate around him or anything like that
(your chest just gets concerningly warm, so does your face and ears, and you have to take several gulps of air to compose yourself when he smiles. shhhhh)
EVEN if you did (which you don’t!) he wouldn’t like you back
he’s mingi
all mingi likes is dragging you out of bed by your feet
and making you regret giving him a spare key to your place
he’s in general grossly sappy, though
he fully understands that he’s cute and you detest it
because he ASKS you. he has the gall, the nerve to put on a silly cat, make a face at you in the store you’re in, and ask if he’s cute
and you want to say yes and laugh along with him but you settle for sighing and saying ‘sure’
but each and every time
he smiles
and it’s really rejuvenating. maybe an angel gets its wings or something. or fairies get born?
you two once debated over which of those two phrases is better, and you were the firm ‘fairy gets its wings’ believer
until he seemed a bit pouty and you decided to just merge the two
you have very stupid discussions
of the ‘do we belong in a circus’ kind
(yes, you might)
his very hidden talent is carrying a lot of mugs
mingi’s fingers are long, and he hangs the mugs off of them while maintaining focus
his record? 24 mugs
one of which broke while he walked from his room to the dishwasher
he was sad about it because it was a mug shaped like a bird
and you had to both comfort him and drive him in his tears to the store to get another one
to be fair, you also felt bad. so, so bad, because the mug was ADORABLE and you could tell mingi thought so too
but you got a Mingi Hug out of it later
when he thanked you, he really did go all out
(he put in no effort, he was just very huggable and it was very nice)
it was when you were very tired and on the brink of Death™ (you know, Death™, like when you just want to nap for 78 hours somewhere in a forest temple)
that you two decide to go to a 7/11
you both unfortunately have this thing called responsibilities so for whatever reason, neither of you can sleep
and so you offer to mingi to meet up at the store between your houses
to which he agrees, and asks if he can come over
to which you say no, but you also say YOLO™ and decide to leave your work in progress to meet up with your friend
(be gay do crime)
you don’t really do either, actually, you respectfully pay for your drinks and those packaged meals which are never as good at day as when they are at night
he insists you use the plastic bag you two had as a seat so your butt doesn’t get cold
and you do, but you also try and elbow his shin when he also sits down on the concrete
you are reminded of the ew feeling of seeing your best friend scarf down sushi like it’s soup
and he somehow manages to talk coherently about his stupid escapade which brought him to this point of meeting up with you
it’s so frustratingly endearing
because you know he’s enjoying himself if he doesn’t stop talking, and you know he’s comfortable around you
and that’s what makes you heart FINALLY flutter
it doesn’t take long for you two to depart, when you finish your own food and drink
and berate him a bit for not saving his drink for when he ended his meal and then stole a sip— no, a GULP from you
that night you give up on your project
(obviously not entirely)
but you’re certainly too busy to think straight
and lying in your bed with your heart beating quick is something you find pretty exhilarating
it’s actually pretty nice to like someone
because anything mingi does is fun, too
he gives you his jacket? perfection
he gives you a noogie? not AS perfect or ideal, but you’re happy he has you in a headlock because it’s a touch of human contact
and you like This human
he tries talking to you about what he would do if aliens landed
and you call him out on his bullshit, not because he’s wrong but because you love him <3 and he’s also wrong
he would NOT try and be nice to them, he’d immediately go in and look if there’s more species
“mingi would accidentally bring doomsday because he’d reject the flirting of an alien princess” yunho (who you met through mingi on the exact day of your 420 streak) adds, from somewhere near you guys in mingi’s apartment, and you absolutely agree
“marriage proposal? come on, i’d know!”
yunho looks at you, then at mingi, then back at you, and just shakes his head
and you feel offended because you’re aware of what yunho’s thinking
but mingi’s less on board
“are you saying they’re an alien princess?”
you argue that if you were an alien, you’d abolish the monarchy
but you also add that you’d rather be king if it came down to it
mingi is very insistent and it’s then when you realize that your heart is beating like that again
because he’s stood up and taken you with him to show to yunho that you’d make a terrific alien princess if only they put you in a sci-fi dress and crown
you want to put mingi in a sci-fi dress and crown all of a sudden, you don’t know : /
it’s prerogative you get more than one Mingi Hug
Mingi Hugs are a bit of an oddity
not because he doesn’t hug you often
it’s just that this is such a specific brand of hug that he reserves for moments of vulnerability
where he protectively wraps his arms around you, but places his head on your shoulder to hide his face
maybe he’s crying, maybe you’re crying, maybe neither is happening and he’s just grateful you’re there, but you’ve noticed he doesn’t do it as often to other people
it’s really cute, though
you’re sitting on your roof one night
not star gazing, mingi just said he read an article that said some phenomena will hit the skies
you tried to listen to him but he was so excited that explaining failed him and he just grabbed your hand to pull you out
(not that you were complaining, he was so gentle and cute)
you are lying down next to each other; and he’s pointing out constellations to you
you see some of them, others are less easy to spot, but every once in a while he rambles about something interesting he knew
but then it starts
you hear a sizzling first, and then a shot
and your sky is red… with a firework
after that, there’s another pound, the colour this time pink
it is pretty— colours exploding against the night sky is pretty
but what the hell? this isn’t a nebular event
it’s when you finally tear your eyes away from the sky to mingi to interrogate him that you see he’s already looking at you
and he has a very sweet smile on his face
“it’s our 500th snap streak day”
and you aren’t stupid, so you know he’s behind the fireworks, but
“why?”
and he lets out a very burdened sigh before he grabs your wrist, and places your hand in his
“it means i’ve liked you for 500 days”
there’s two emotions fluctuating all throughout
relief and joy
so you scoot over and let go of his hand so that you can swing your arms around his neck
his arms, for the first time, are loose, and you can absolutely hear the beating of his heart
the fireworks stop all of a sudden when your neighbour yells
but you ignore her so you can try and get even closer to mingi
you mumble that you like him too
however he hugs you tighter
and tells you he can’t hear you
but he DEFINITELY CAN AND HE’S JUST—UGHHH
so you decide to be even worse about it
and you y e l l it
now the whole neighbourhood knows you like mingi
though it does gradually grow into love
mingi’s a very caring boyfriend; after all, he was exactly the same as a friend
now with the added bonus of being able to kiss you
which is a power he abuses thoroughly
he gives forehead and temple kisses the most
and he’s a very terrible gremlin, so he sometimes holds your head only to bring it to his lips
or he’ll pick you up randomly
“can you tell i worked out?”
yes, you can, but you’re more focused on trying to land safely if he loses his grip
not that you don’t trust him
you trust him in every aspect of the relationship
he’s reliable— and also brings you food at inconvenient times of the day
plus you get to visit each other whenever
he likes doing animal face masks with you
and offers a bath every. time.
he runs some of the best bubble baths though, you can’t lie
he’s also very warm most of the time, so if you’re a heat sink… guess what! you no longer are!
mingi’s also very careful
he makes mistakes often; physically breaking things, sometimes he doesn’t know his strength, and so on
but he’s always ready to apologize and get you something new
he sometimes ends up going too far with a joke?
apology!
he’s very meticulous with it too. words mean as much as actions to him, and so there’s a lot of meaning in his apologies
he’s just cute
you’re both very cute but also a very annoying couple
pda? she’s your best friend
*yeosang cringes*

Blurred Lines Cursed Past: Chapter 92 - Zandar
sorry for the long break the writers block was real and right at the wrong time XD this has been a long time coming and many hints have been dropped for specifics :D
The Zandars reunite and Gacen consoles Kyradia
Kyradia hadn’t found anything new when she checked the archives so decided to come up to the balcony for a rest, it wasn’t the most calming spot as it’s where she’d fought Empress Vaylin to the death and another time she’d lost control but she felt it was good for reflection. She didn’t think anything could change her mind, every part of who she was before she became this was gone, she just hurt and hurt people it was crazy to think anything else.
But then something equally crazy happened, she saw someone on the balcony that reminded her of home, she wasn’t going to think anything of it until she got close and began to recognise the admittedly much older features of someone from that past. She hadn’t seen her brother in 15 years assuming him to be dead after what happened on Dathomir but here he was after all this time and all her feelings came out at once.
She could feel her eyes soaked with tears sobbing into his jacket as he tried to comfort her “hey hey shhhhh it’s ok Dee what’s wrong” Kyradia didn’t respond hugging him tight making sure this was real and not some awful trick by Zash
He seemed real enough and either way she didn’t care, she looked up at him his face not as young as it once was and clear age in his eyes “I-I-I did something bad again, I hurt some people, I let it out” Gacen nodded his expression getting very serious, it had been clear Gacen knew about the change but not all the specifics
Gacen hugged her tight rocking her back and forth “oh oh dear Dee I’m so sorry it’s ok, it wasn’t your fault” Kyradia shook her head she knew he was wrong
Kyradia sighed “you’re wrong it was me it’s always me it’s what I am I thought I could fight it but I’m jus-” Kyradia couldn’t finish before Gacen interrupted her 
He held his hands against her head “Hey NO! You are not just what they made you don’t say that, you’re still Kyradia Zandar my little sister I can see it in you and I could back then. You’re still the little scamp who pranked the chief because you thought he was an ass, and the flighty weirdo you’ve always been even now after 15 years I see it in you. Even if a little more grown up” Kyradia just shook her head not believing him 
Kyradia sobbed “No you don’t understand everything about that person is gone replaced with this monster, the sith only groomed the worst parts you must’ve seen it I’ve done horrible things everything about that life is gone and I’m sure I hurt you through it” she could piece together why they hadn’t met yet it must be because she was a scary cruel sith Kyradia had become
Gacen shook his head “no no you didn’t hurt me at all please don’t blame yourself for my mistakes” Gacen was clearly affected by the comment his hands shaking a little
Kyradia took a deep breath and looked at him “then why did you avoid me for 15 years, you knew I wouldn’t understand and you were right I’d have been cruel and monstrous even to my own brother because I’m just a horrible weapon” Gacen shook his head clenching his fists clearly not angry at her but the situation
He seemed rather overwhelmed, sighing “that’s not why I avoided you, I felt like a failure, I let you get captured and I was scared of what you’d think of me. The more time that passed the more I felt like you deserved to hate me, I failed you again I was all you had and I fucked it all up cause I was weak and stupid” Kyradia let out a shaky breath she realised they both blamed themselves for everything
She shook her head “but Gacen what could you have done you’re not a fighter” Gacen looked at her tears streaming down his face
He sighed “it’s not about that Kyradia I didn’t even try, I’m just a guy who’s too scared to take action I always have been it’s hurt everyone around me all my life” he rubbed his forehead “but that doesn’t matter Dee you’re not a monster and I won’t let you believe that” Kyradia couldn’t believe him
She sighed “but it’s just as I said it’s all I have left, everything from before except you is gone and well we clearly messed up that part” Gacen nodded squeezing her hand “I… I just we’re the last two left, no chief, no friends and no…” she trailed off thinking back on the necklace she’d lost
Gacen sighed “no mum yeah I know, I promise you she’d be proud of you, this Alliance is all yours right you must’ve defeated that ‘Endless Empire’ or whatever” Kyradia let out a small smile at Gacen’s butchering of the name and clearly only just putting it together what happened?
Kyradia shook her head “Eternal Empire, she never saw me like this I know it’s silly but if I had some part of her maybe I could believe what you’re saying” she looked away ashamed “but I lost her necklace a long time ago” Gacen frowned at her “I went looking for it once I think someone took it after the attack, I want to believe you’re right and that I’m more than what they made me but it’s just all that was left after Dathomir, a savage product of the sith it’s hard to feel like anything but a monster no matter how hard I try to change” Gacen nodded as he began loosening his scarf
Gacen nodded “I get what you’re saying after making so many mistakes you just want some sign of when everything was ok, but I think I’ve used it for long enough” Gacen reached into his collar and pulled out the Bone Charm necklace and passed it over to Kyradia. Kyradia stood there in shock her breath shaky as she looked at it “I never gave up on you Kyradia no matter how scared I was to see you because of my own fuck ups, I kept this to remind me of my silly little sister” Kyradia took it and held it letting out a overwhelmed gasp as she took it with a smile
Kyradia stammered “y-you kept this all these years?” she put it on and remembered her mother giving it to her, she looked at Gacen with tears flooding her eyes “I’m not a monster am I” Gacen shook his head
He held her hand “of course not you’re only a person and people make mistakes, what are you?” he smiled 
She took a deep breath “I’m Kyradia the alliance Commander” Gacen shook his head with a smile
Gacen chuckled “little more Rads you’re close” Kyradia nodded realising what he meant
She closed her eyes and held the necklace “I’m Kyradia Zandar from Dathomir” as she opened her eyes Gacen pulled her into a hug
Kyradia smiled she didn’t know how much she’d needed this “I’m so sorry I took this long to come and see you I was stupid and scared you’d hate me and I’m so so sorry” Kyradia hugged him back as she began to calm down
She patted his back “Bro it’s ok I really don’t blame you it’s not your fault any of this shit happened we both know who’s to blame” she could feel Gacen seethe for a second as he let her go
He held the bridge of his nose “yeah I know sorry let’s not talk about that we got some catching up to do” Kyradia raised her eyebrows wow there was a lot to catch up on.
She sat down on the bench “tell me your story first since it isn’t plastered all over the news” Gacen nodded sitting down next to her, he seemed to go for something in his pocket but then changed his mind
He leaned back “oh shit where to begin I’ll give you the abridged version, well after the slavers attacked I was sent to Kessel but quickly I escaped in a ship, crashed into an orbital station and stowed away on a ship” Kyradia shook her head of course that happened her brother had always been a very in the moment thinker “Captain liked my style and needed a helper so I helped out for a few years until the captains luck ran out and I ended up with the ship” Kyradia could see him get a little dejected at that point but decided not to press “then I met a nob who stole my ship, I got it back and met my wife, we started a crime empire with her” Kyradia’s eyes widened as Gacen seemed to gloss over it and keep talking
She grabbed his arm “Wait! I have a sister in law?” Gacen looked at her and nodded “uh can I meet her?” Gacen thought about it
He nodded “sure I can get her back on the comms, her name is Risha and she’s a Princess, crime lord and mechanic so I’m probably winning spouse bingo” Kyradia rolled her eyes as he boasted
Kyradia did start to get competitive “well my Boyfriend is a space pirate and a good one at that” Gacen nodded clearly not impressed “he’s great shut up” Gacen chuckled as he started patch Risha through
He continued “after that I did a few things, made friends with a trooper brought down a crime lord, nearly destroyed Makeb” Kyradia’s eyes widened she was on Makeb
Kyradia chuckled “no shit I was on Makeb too” Gacen smiled at her cleary bewildered
He chuckled “huh small world, the only other thing of note is I helped the Basen’thor try to rescue you and failed” Kyradia gasped he was the smuggler! She felt stupid had everyone known he was alive? Well probably not that they were related
Kyradia smiled “well I know that failed but I appreciate you trying that couldn’t have been easy” Gacen smiled clearly that meant a lot
Gacen chuckled “it was fucking infuriating I was in the room with you then that brown haired woman caught me I was so close, after that I was in prison, escaped and found my wife, speaking of” Kyradia guessed it was some constellation she’d killed Vaylin, the holo sprung to life. 
Kyradia saw as the beautiful form of a human with long brown hair came on the holo, Gacen spoke up “hey Risha first of all how dare you trick me like this I love you but I hate you” there was a long clearly proud laugh from Risha
She smiled “I couldn’t help myself and you know it’s the push you needed” Gacen pouted but clearly it was part of their flirting “you must be my sister in law I must say clearly beauty runs in the family” Kyradia blushed beyond belief she always did when a woman flirted with her even though she knew it was a joke.
Kyradia smiled “ahah yes well it’s nice to see the person willing to tolerate my big brother as his significant other you must have the patience of a saint” Gacen looked offended by the comment and Kyradia chuckled
She was so overwhelmed with emotions but knew she hadn’t felt this calm in a while, Gacen shook his head “I’ll have you know she loves my shenanigans” Risha shook her head
She chuckled “they have their place but it does take some patience, he’s worth it though” Kyradia smiled happy Gacen was happy
Kyradia folded her arms “I do have to ask how did you know to trick him into being here I’ve been off world for days” Risha chuckled and smiled
She played with her hair “that’s uh actually a coincidence Gacen was actually heading there on a job for me” Kyradia frowned hadn’t Lana mentioned something about this
Gacen gasped “oh yeah! I forgot maybe Lana has an update on what she can give us” he turned to Kyradia realising he had to explain “oh right my wife’s planet is being ruled by a dickhole and we’re trying to take it back keep it on the downlow” Kyradia was a little bewildered with information but nodded 
She held her chin “will do but I’m fully willing to give my brother and his wife whatever he needs, he may be an idiot but his hearts in the right place” she looked back to Risha “and you seem pretty smart I’ll talk to Lana make sure she agrees” Gacen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the holo of his wife
He grumbled “this was your plan the whole time wasn’t it” Risha looked a little embarrassed and shook her head
She defended herself “I mean it would’ve been a nice extra but really I just wanted to do this for you because you’re helping me take back my home” Kyradia smiled from the side they were so perfect for each other
She giggled “wow you two are so sweet it hurts” she teased as Gacen frowned at her
Gacen sulked “no we’re cool and adventurous” Kyradia nodded clearly making fun, she really had missed her brother and pulled her into another hug
She chuckled “that’s your punishment for taking so long I’m gonna tease you relentlessly” Gacen laughed shaking his head and hugging her back, Kyradia didn’t know if she would be able to defeat Zash but Gacen was right as she clutched her mother’s necklace she knew she was more than the sisters weapon and she’d be damned if she let them win...

The protector
“Oh my goodness! What the hell happened to your finger??”
He almost screamed looking down to my thumb and grabbing my hand to look closely. We’re having kind of an argument over how I should be more careful about the parties I usually go.
“Ohh...hm..Tha..That’s nothing.It’s just some blood.”
I said trying to get him to believe me while pulling my hand out of his grab.
“Think it’s just a scratch.” Saying looking at my finger while his gaze was on my obviously blushed face.
“Yeah..right.... you are far more clever than that. You know I’m not buying this.” He said with a tone that made me shiver in panic and I knew he wouldn’t let it go. “What’s going on?” He insisted.
“It’s nothing.” I told him licking my bottom lip trying to find the right words before he snapped. “It’s only a little cut...relax.” I said getting up to get some paper towel or something to wrap it to stop the bleeding. I was really out of reality and starting to get a little nervous because of his tone, besides I’ve had a terrible argument with a friend the day before and that only made my anxiety levels raise even more. I was almost on my emotional edge....I usually bite the corners of my fingers when I’m stressed so I’m used to some bleeding and burning and after years bitting my skin and flesh off my poor fingers are no longer as they once were. Sometimes it starts bleeding for no reason and honestly...? it’s okay.....But he doesn’t know how it works.Maybe it’s because he doesn’t even bleed to start with so I think it’s kind of a big deal for him when someone that lives in his house starts to dripping blood on the desk like there’s nothing even happening.
“Look...I...I’m concerned about you,little girl.”
He said while following me,we were almost leaving the office but hearing that made me stop and turn to face his eyes,they were so sad and concerned.
“You haven’t been eating or sleeping....and you....you are harming yourself in front of my eyes!”
The last sentence was nearly a desperate and sad cry.I started to feel my eyes getting wet and began to rub my hands together desperately. I was hurting him again....Why does he care so much? ‘Stop caring!!!’. I wanted to yell at him but I couldn’t even look at him without feeling guilty so I turn to face the floor under my feet.It was simply too much. I was never protected before,not like this.
He brought me to his really big house and together we made it a home,at least that’s what I tried to do....he deserved a home,a place where he could be comfortable. We were more than friends by now,he really knows me. I hide a lot but whenever I feel that I’m not breaking him in any level with my “news” he’s the first and probably the only one to know about things. He watched me almost crying my eyes out and scream so loudly that after a while was no sound left. We’ve been to a lot since we first met but I still don’t believe he won’t leave me anytime soon. He proved himself worthy of my trust but I am a huge coward and I simply don’t deserve him in my live. I share life threatening issues and sometimes goofy things but not things like this....not what was happening inside of me right now....It.....it’s...it’s just so silly. I’m just tired. Really tired of everything...but I couldn’t look at him right now and say this.My heart was hurting so bad that I wanted to die... How could I tell him that I’m exhausted of being alive when he fought so hard to keep me safe? He doesn’t need another problem...another of mine problems on his mind.I don’t want to hurt him. Not again....not like this....
“Please,tell me what’s happening!!Let me help you.......Say something!! Let me be a part of what’s hurting you! Let me help you.....please!”
He continued,rubbing and banging his hand on a fist on his chest as if he was in pain and his eyes desperately searching mine which were almost a part of the floor itself. He stepped foward,getting closer and closer..... I was felling his breath on the top of my head. He’s so close....I shut my eyes so tightly it was like I was in front of Medusa herself. He putted his hands on the sides of my skull so softly that it took me a while to realize it. He kissed my hair moving his hands to my shoulders...I was nearly dying...he’s so close,so open and I’m just a stupid girl with ridiculous emotional problems....I just wanted to tell him everything,to trust him like he deserves to be trusted.
I couldn’t take it anymore,the agony of having him like this... I was hurting him again...it was so much, I just hugged my own head and started crying. It was aching a lot...’MAKE IT STOP!’ That’s the only thing my mind was processing:The pain.
Every word that was said and heard along the years,every desperate and lonely feeling that haunted me,every scar,every tear I shed,everything came together at once hitting me so hard that I couldn’t feel anything but fear. I was so damaged..How can I be this broken? How did I survived all these years without his help? Why was he there that day?Why he helped me? Why is he here now?.....
My body suddenly felt so heavy for me to stand up,my legs failed and I almost crashed at once but I managed to put my knees ahead making them hit the ground first. He watched as I felt on my knees,hugging my head and crying like when we first saw each other. I dragged my hands down to my chest as if that would keep away all the memories and start rocking my body back and forth....my eyes were shut heavily and my chin was touching my thumbs that were so squeezed into a double fist that made my fingers turn red and I realized I couldn’t feel my thumb burning from the bitting.Before I could start thinking about getting up or saying something I felt he kneeled in front of me. Holding my shoulders again bringing me to a hug,his warms hands on my skin made my mind shut down and I just continued sobbing harder and harder....I don’t deserve his protection. ‘Don’t let me hurt you!’ i thought feeling he breath deeply on my neck.
“Shhhhh....it’s okay. It’s okay.” He whispered while supporting the side of my thigh on his lap,hugging me,rocking my body softly,rubbing my back, and trying his best not to cry along. I could hear he swallowing his tears,he was always so brave. After several minutes I began to feel calmer and relaxed. That position was probably uncomfortable for him but I was so happy inside his embrace. Nothing could hurt me there,he is my shield. He give me strength....
Almost sleeping,resting my head on his shoulder breathing on his neck with my hands holding on his shirt like it was a save jacket. I was so serene.... Embarrassed tho,but it was so good....‘I’m so sorry.’...
My mind started thinking again...I bet he’s tired of rescuing me when I break down. I’m such a burden on him...my eyes were getting wet again with the ideia of being a disaster that could burn his life to ashes.Why does he have to care so much? His life would be easier if I wasn’t here.....I needed to cry again,every feeling,every thought was so so much but I couldn’t shed a tear anymore,my head was exploding...it was hurting so bad that I had to shut my eyes harder. Oh,fuck my head is killing me!!! I need to relax!
Trying to keep my mind quiet I started focusing on him,on his presence....I just love his perfume,his skin,the warmth of his body,his bravery... He’s everything anyone could ever dream of. The embrace was so comfortable I could live on it....I was relaxed and almost pain free again but really really really tired..... I need to take a nap... ‘Do you mind if I sleep for a while in yours arms?’ I thought about asking but I had no strength....Focused on his scent I felt my body getting numb....Think I’m sleeping..it’s so good.

This is psycho!erik, not the softboi or #goals erik we typically love. Be warned. I'll tag when I wake up.
2. Let's Begin
"Annd gotdamn she's awake.. Up and atom, Ms. Stevens."
Ivy felt groggy and mentally off. She was unsettled and her limbs felt heavy and impossible to lift. Where was she?
"Time to wake that ass up, Ms. Stevens..," a voice sung in a hard whisper.
"My bad, I ain't know I was that tired..," she yawned unable to raise her arm to cover it. Her eyes watered. "Shit... My arms feel dead as fuck. Were you able to work with me knocked out or.."
Her eyelids fluttered open unwillingly. They still felt heavy but she could fight it. Her sight focused on the straight white teeth of Dr. Stevens who was close again, sitting on his stool to her right. At least he wasn't pissy about her falling asleep mid-process, she'd maybe chosen the right dentist afterall.
"What's so funny," she smirked watching his wide shoulders shake with silent laughter. He was goofy as hell. She hadn't expected him to be this damn goofy. His entire upper body was engaged, but he wouldn't laugh outright. He was still trying to hold it in.
"Damn, did I embarrass myself while I was out," she asked softly seeing the clear humor in his expression. "I do talk in my sleep sometimes.. What I say while I was out?"
The dentist continued his fit of silent laughter to the point that Ivy was starting to get irritated. She was feeling too out of it to deal with his silliness. He was pissing her off.
"What? What is so damn funny?"
She was too tired to move. Never had she been in the position where she was so tired that it paralyzed her, until now. Suddenly, she was concerned.
His arms wrapped around his body as he rocked back and forth, grinning with his mouth wide enough to show the pointed silver caps on his canines. They hadn't been there before. His head rolled back as his chest and shoulders bounced and now he looked fuckin crazy.
"I'm finna.. yeah." Ivy tried using her weight to lean so left that she could force her body to move, roll, and stand, but she couldn't even lean and that was when she realized she was tied to the chair. Her legs were bound at the knees and ankles to the flat part of the seat by a bright red rope and still stretched forward as they'd been when she fell asleep.
"Oh shit, I think she got it," Erik whispered, voice full of slick humor.
Her shoulders were bound. Her arms were bound at the elbows. Doubled up red rope wrapped around her body trapping her to the seat.
"I see you're experiencing some mild confusion and disorientation... Side effect of the anesthesia," he pouted.
"Most times, the anaesthetic I use won't put a patient to sleep. Typically I'd use a local anaesthetic. Lidocaine."
She watched his eyes unsure of how to respond. The man was clearly on one. What was that supposed to mean for the situation and how did it explain all the rope? She didn't feel her phone in her hand and that made her heart skip a beat. Her eyes darted to her lap. It was gone along with her keys.
"What you lookin at?" His tone was rough as if she'd somehow offended him.
"You looking for your phone? Pft. You won't be needing that, it would only be a distraction."
He gripped her chin as if she weren't already looking at him at that point.
"Nigga, get your strong ass hands off me!"
Was she supposed to stare at him harder or something? He didn't need to grab her face like that. She tried unsuccessfully to snatch away.
"Listen to what the fuck I'm telling you. I won't repeat myself," he bit, lip spread over his teeth, his angry grip vibrating her jaw. He was raising a hail of the reddest flags, as red as the rope Ivy was bound in and at her first opportunity, she was getting the hell outta dodge. She didn't care about how gotdamn fine he was or his job title or his paycheck, he was crazy as a damn cockroach. Now she really couldn't look away. She was scared.
"I assume you don't know much about practicing medical care with anesthesia. You might wanna pay attention."
"First of all," the bass in her voice jumped out. "You not about to talk to me like I'm your child or your assistant. I want my phone back and I'm a get the hell up outta here.. I'm awake now so you can get this shit up off me."
He blinked, his lids fluttering before letting go of her chin and taking a silent deep breath, rubbing the dark beard on his jaw. As if he hadn't just kirked out, his flawless smile returned along with the friendly light in his eyes.
"As I was explaining, typically with a cavity I'd use a local anaesthetic. However, it's not often that a get a patient through here that's single.. alone.. no kids.. no husband.. and she crackin, I mean, body like damn."
Ivy's lip twitched in distaste as she watched his hooded eyes change yet again. The friendly and professional mask began to crack as his irises darkened and she could see a visible shift in his countenance, his eyes narrowing and full lips forming a slight pout. The wheels in his mind seemed to be turning. She could see the muscle in his temple tense with his jaw.
Ivy wondered if she should call out as loudly as she could muster for help, but determined that the two twins would have intervened by now if they were there and planned to do anything. No, they were likely his accomplices. Twin bitches.
There was no one else she knew of who would hear her and answer in time or maybe even at all. Dr. Stevens looked the type to fuck her up real quick as soon as she opened her mouth too wide.
"On you, I used a drug called etorphine. Well, it's actually more of a tranquilizer. I figured if it works on elephants..."
"Elephants? Nigga what? I'm 4'11 do I look like I need something that was intended for elephants?"
He looked amused and that only served to frustrate her further. Ivy couldn't hold her tongue. She was angry and when she got angry she tended to say exactly what was on her mind.
"You got a fuckin screw loose giving me a damn elephant tranquilizer. Are you stupid? This is malpractice. How you still got a license?"
"Shhhhh," his finger went to his lips and his eyes said that this was funny to him. They twinkled and she wanted to slap him but her arms were pinned to her sides.
"I still got my license because I'm smart about what I do. Don't get it twisted. I operate my business just like any other orthodontist... I just like to have a little fun here and there, is that so wrong?"
"I'm tied to the fuckin chair. Yeah. You wrong."
He chuckled and all Ivy could think of was how much she did not like him.
"I take it you're not used to being tied up."
"I take it you're not used to minding ya damn business. What I do has nothing to do with you. You don't know me."
His amused expression cracked into a lopsided smirk as if there was something he knew and was dying to share.
"I know more about you than you think.  Privacy ain't shit these days and neither is an internet service provider. Lot of things you can find out about a person. Shit they hide from the average person. Shit they hide from their friends and families. You have a lotta secrets, Ivy." His smirk expanded into a smug grin that sent a shiver down her spine. What did he have on her? She didn't think it could possibly be anything too bad. Either way, she needed to find a way out. Something told her that this man had no intention of releasing her without a struggle and aside from him, she'd probably have to barrel through Thing 1 and Thing 2.
"You're a sociopath," Ivy muttered watching the glee crinkle his eyes. He was sick.
"And you're a filthy little smut ass whore."
"Excuse you," she blinked.
"Don't like that much, do you? It's all labels. Labels don't necessarily define us, Ivy. We're free to define ourselves and I choose to define myself as an artist. Pretty girls like yourself just so happen to be my preferred medium."
"Uh huh... you know you could've just asked for my number like a normal person?"
He looked taken aback, blinking with a blank expression.
"See there you go getting it twisted again. I don't wanna date you, Ivy.. I wanna transform you. Like I said, I'm an artist. In my profession, it's rare that I get the chance to be creative."
She couldn't stop her mouth.
"Well then paint a sunset, sculpt a vase, chip ice! Don't tie women up in your chair."
He chuckled softly, but again she was serious, annoyed, and also scared.
"As much as I'm enjoying our little conversation.. I'm ready to get into the opening act. There's a lot that I have planned for you today. Hopefully you'll be able to appreciate it... Either way," he shrugged, eyes wide, "I'm finna enjoy myself. It's been too long since I've been able to cut loose... I deserve this," he smirked, his nose wrinkling with wicked intention. It was in the air. She could feel the chill.
"Stay put," he whispered sending another chill through Ivy's body. She had no clue what to expect.
Once Erik disappeared behind her she began to struggle within the ropes to see if she could loosen them. They wereway too tight to slip down or give out. She couldn't escape. All she could do was wait for the dentist to return.
After a minute, Ivy could feel his presence approaching. He was directly behind her and she could feel something about to happen. He was about to do something, she just didn't know what it was. He leaned forward and his lips almost touched her left ear. She shivered feeling the vibration in her side.
"Let's begin," he whispered.

A lesson in intimacy
Pairings - Javier x reader  I  Word Count - 3,295  I  Warnings - Sex (i’m not putting smut as it really isn’t that graphic and there isn’t much of it) Menstruation/Menstruation sex  I  Category - Fluff/Comfort 
Summary - The reader wakes to find they got their period early in the night, Javier wakes to wonder what’s going on and reacts as expected considering how understanding and kind he is. He’s incredibly calming, caring, reassuring and helpful. 
I’ve been a bit cautious about posting this (it was nearly completed a few weeks ago) so I’m putting another warning here as I know menstruation is a topic that some people find very uncomfortable (especially when including sex - even if not fetishised) and that it can cause dysphoria for some, so please only read if this is something you’re comfortable with. 
I hope for those of you who do read this, that you find some comfort in it and find it relaxing/helpful.
Tumblr media
Horror, that was the only word that resonated with you in that moment. You tried to move round in the dark and clean up, but it was hopeless with Javier asleep in the bed, anything you did was likely to wake him and you weren’t sure what you would do if that happened. Either way he would find out eventually. 
You had woken with unbearable cramping in your stomach and felt something hot and sticky between your legs. Trembling, as you reached down and pulled your hand away, it was unmistakable what had happened. You’d got your period in the night, several days early and it had soaked through to the sheets underneath where you and Javier slept. 
You turned back to the bed, Javier appeared be sleeping soundly. You heard him breathe so softly, his chest rose and fell as he snoozed. He was so peaceful, you wished you could just crawl back into bed beside him and snuggle into the warmth of his body. 
Instead you froze in panic, stood barefoot and cold in your tent, you thought about waking Susan or Abigail, surely one of the women would be able to help you, but there was too much risk of one of the others seeing you. 
Then you heard him stir, “No…no,” you muttered as you watched him move a little as he was coming to.
He tossed and turned a few times before it became obvious to him that you weren’t by his side. 
His eyes opened slowly, “Hey, y/n,” he spoke lazily, one of his arms draped across his face. 
You didn’t know how to respond, your mind raced, trying to think of something, anything you could say to fill the silence which hung in the tent like a thick fog, clouding your judgement and thoughts. 
Javier lifted his arm and tilted his head to the side, “Come back to bed,” he lifted the blankets and opened his arms for you to crawl in beside him.
How you wanted to jump in beside him again, you were afraid that at any moment he would realise what has happened and you would loose the best thing that had happened to you. 
You fought back the sob that was building and turned around, too ashamed in that moment to look at him and hugged yourself for warmth. 
You heard the cot squeak as Javier shifted his weight a little, “Y/N, what’s wrong?”
“N-nothing Javier, it’s okay, go back to sleep,” you answered a little too urgently. 
Javier propped himself up on his elbows and looked at you as you stood uncomfortably still, it was only when Javier opened his mouth again and asked you another question that you realised you were holding in a breath.
“Y/N, you’re starting to scare me,” his voice was full of concern.
You exhaled quickly and inhaled sharply, “Javier I….”
You bit your lower lip and dug your fingernails into the palm of your hand, you were shaking where you stood, partially from the cold and partially from fear. You shook your head, though Javier could barely see your reactions in the dark. You heard him shuffling around at the side of the cot and heard the sound of a match striking, warmth and light entered into the small tent you shared. 
Normally something that was so welcomed by you, was in that moment a hinderance of unbearable consequence. 
You looked over your shoulder at him as Javier lit a candle and looked across at you, he cast his eyes down at your legs, he sighed, almost with, was that relief? And then his lips turned upward into the smallest smile, reaching out to you to asked, “Mi amor, really? You’re embarrassed by this?”
The colour in your cheeks told him everything he needed to know without you opening your mouth, you nodded and burst into tears, turning back round again and hugging yourself fiercely. 
Javier was immediately off the cot you shared and by your side, “Ay stop this,” his hand made contact with your back, his palm warm, he rubbed and soothed you. You rest your head on his shoulder as he pulled you close, “I’m sorry Javier, I’ve made such a mess.”
“Shhhhh now,” he kissed your hair and continued to hold you, his warmth a distraction from the pain you were feeling.
“I feel so stupid,” you sobbed.
Javier pulled back for a moment and looked at you, “Why?”
“I….” you didn’t even know what to say.
The pad of Javier’s thumb connected with your lower lip, he gently trailed across it your plump flesh, a shiver running down your spine as he did so. 
He cupped your cheeks and pressed a soft kiss to your lips, “You never need to be embarrassed in front of me okay?”
You nodded weakly and then cast your eyes over to the cot, it wasn’t as bad as you’d imagined it, only the under sheet would need to be changed and Javier liked to sleep in little more than a loose shirt and was unaffected by your bleeding. 
“I’ll be right back,” he kissed your lips again for reassurance before he disappeared from your tent. For a moment you were terrified you wouldn’t see him again, that he would be so repulsed by you that he wouldn’t return. Of course that was nonsense, Javier was one of the most understanding members of the camp and already his reaction demonstrated everything you hoped to be true about him. 
When he returned he had a fresh blanket, a cloth and a hot bowl of water in his hands.
You watched as he got to work, a small smile played on your face at how careful and attentive he was. As he stripped the cot of the bloodied sheet you heard him humming softly. He placed the sheet on the floor, “You don’t become an outlaw without learning how to get rid of blood stains,” he said with a cheeky grin.
You returned the smile, though you still felt nervous, you were so grateful for Javier’s way with words and his clear attempt to try and make you more comfortable. 
He looked up from the cot after smoothing the sheets and blankets down and turned his attention to you, “You trust me, no?”
You bit your lower lip and nodded, your arms had been folded so tightly across your chest, clearly a defence mechanism, afraid that if he saw you at your most vulnerable that the spell would be broken. This fear, could not have been further from the truth.
You rested your hands by your side, feeling so delicate now under his watch, your eyes automatically fixed on a spot on the ground, just in front of his bare feet. It was freezing, yet he had walked bare foot to get water for you. 
He walked back over to you and stroked your cheek, “You’re so cold,” he muttered, concern clearly written across your face, “Let’s get you cleaned and warmed up huh?”
You nodded, but before Javier could do anything else you’d pulled him into a tight hug, your hands slid around his waist, meeting in the middle of his back as you held him for a moment. On loosening the hug your hands dropped to his hips, your fingers clenched his flesh for security. You pulled back whilst still holding him, “Why are you so nice?”
Javier chuckled and placed his hands on your arms, “Because, I love you silly and because I…” he paused for a moment, clearly thinking about how to chose his words, but he needn’t have worried, “But… you know, if anyone needed my help, I wouldn’t shun any of the others.”
You smiled, “No, of course, how could you?”
Javier pressed a kiss to your forehead, “Now, let’s get you out of this.”
“I’m so sorry!” You’d all but forgotten you were wearing one of Javier’s shirts to bed as had become accustomed. 
“Hermosa/Hermoso, stop,” Javier reassured you again, “I can buy more shirts.”
You sighed, being honest with yourself you knew he was right, it was just a shirt, you could buy more for him, the world hadn’t ended. Javier started to undo the shirt from the top down, his nimble fingers worked quickly at undoing the buttons, when he got to the bottom he took a moment to take the sight of you in, the shirt hung loosely round your shoulders, he pressed a soft kiss to your chest and placed a hand on your abdomen. A soft, low moan escaped your lips and into the crook of his neck, the warmth of his hand was so comforting for the pain. He slid the shirt from your back and chucked it onto the bloody sheet on the floor. 
Stood naked, you felt ashamed, your thighs smeared with dark blood, black in the moonlight. Between your legs appearing the darkest. 
Javier picked what looked like a clean, dark towel and laid it near the middle of the cot. 
“Lay down y/n.” 
“What?”
Javier turned back to you and placed his hands on your shoulders, there was a look in his eyes, it had been there since you first met, first started going on guard duty together. It was a look that told you that you could trust him implicitly. A care that had been so absent in your life it made it perhaps a little difficult to believe or trust in at first, but you knew him now.
You nodded, too tired to argue and let him guide you over to the cot before he gently pushed you back into it, your bottom and tops of your thighs landing on the towel he’d laid down. 
You allowed yourself to fall and watched, intrigued, as Javier placed the cloth in the water, the warm water rising appealed to you so much, the thought of steam against your skin sent a shiver down your spine.
Javier stood by the side of the cot, so that he was facing you and gently started to wipe the blood from your legs, careful not to be too rough. He would wipe just a few times before going back to the bowl and rinsing the cloth out, returning once more to continue. The warm water felt so good and soothing, his movements too relaxed you and you felt the tension leave your shoulders, legs, everywhere you could feel it before, just melted away at his touch.
Eventually you allowed your legs to part, knees dropping to either side of the cot. You wanted to cover yourself in shame or close your eyes so you wouldn’t have to witness how humiliating this was. Only, the second you did it, you realised the humiliation you’d been expecting just wasn’t there. 
Javier’s expression didn’t change, he just rinsed the cloth out and started to clean the inside of your thighs. Finally he ran the cloth up between your legs and pressed for a moment, you gave a low moan as he did so, partly from the soothing heat and partly from having him touch you where you were most sensitive.
Javier chuckled watching your reaction and slowly finished mopping the blood from between your legs. 
“There, all cleaned up.”
He returned to the bowl and placed the cloth in it before returning to you and kneeling on the cot by your side. You’d closed you legs and rested them to your side, smiling up at Javier you pulled him into your arms so readily. 
The moment he was in your arms, his lips were on yours, so soft and gentle, you noted that he tasted of butter and woodsmoke, “Why are you so good to me?”
Javier stopped kissing you, “I would do anything for you, die for you, even better, live for you, you know…”
“I just get so embarrassed…” You shifted uncomfortably.
“Please, don’t be,” he stroked your cheek and pressed a delicate kiss to your nose. 
When he pulled away you lowered your head so your face was pushed against the pillow, “I just…we haven’t been together that long and it’s such an intimate thing.”
Javier sighed, propped himself up on his elbows and tilted his head to the side, “I care about you, that’s all that matters.”
Your face screwed up in pain as the cramps wrecked through your lower abdomen, your eyes were shut tight.
You felt one of Javier’s hands on your stomach gently rubbing as he soothed you, “It’s okay.”
You brought one of your hands up to rest on his and enjoyed the moment of peace that washed over you. 
When you opened your eyes he seemed full of concern, “What helps? What can I do?”
You shrugged, “There isn’t really anything, Sadie says that an orgasm can help but that’s ridiculous and messy,” you regretted saying it the moment the words fell from between your lips. You felt yourself tense as you watched Javier’s reaction. 
Javier smiled and kissed your lips gently, leaving you wanting more, “I can help with that,” he offered. 
The strange thing was, there was nothing overtly sexual about the offer, it didn’t seem for one moment like he was fetishising the idea. Rather he seemed to genuinely want to help and to be close to you. 
“Javier, I don’t know…” you muttered, feeling your cheeks flush once again, your hands entwined with with other, palms sweating, fingers trembling a little as you contemplated his offer.
Javier stroked your cheek, “There’s no pressure mi amor, I wouldn’t want you to do anything you weren’t comfortable with. Just know that…” he paused and pressed a kiss to your forehead, “I’d do anything to make you feel better and it really doesn’t bother me, after everything I’ve seen. Sleeping with the one I love during,” he paused for a moment, “this time, it’s nothing. Well not nothing, I…”
You found yourself giggling as Javier stumbled over his words, he really was too cute for his own good at times, you pressed a finger to his lip, “You’ve shown me everything I need to know.” 
Still you searched his face for some trace of a lie, but found none. His features were soft, eyes still concerned for your well-being, he smiled at you and nuzzled into your hand as you went to cup his cheek.
“Why are you so nice?”
He shrugged and kissed your palm, “The world is full of bastardos…I figure it doesn’t take much to be a nice person.”
You bit your lower lip, contemplating your next move, “Okay…” you said quietly, “But only if you’re sure.”
Javier nodded and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into his chest where he knew you felt safe. You laid like that for a while, before Javier slowly rolled you onto your back and climbed onto you, his weight pinning you down, he gently stroked your hip bones and kissed your collar bone.
He spent a good time just kissing you, “Tell me when you’re ready,” he said.
“I’m ready,” your legs parted to allow him access. 
Javier slid into you in one slow but fluid movement, you couldn’t deny how good he felt inside of you, how for a moment the pain in your abdomen subsided, now that you had his length and thickness to absorb you instead. 
You let a low moan escape from your lips, Javier’s dark eyes watched your face intently as he moved in and out of you slowly. He lived to watch your reaction to the pleasure he was causing you. 
“Is that okay?” He asked softly.
You bit your bottom lip and nodded, “Yes.”
The embarrassment that you had been feeling before so readily now melted away 
The sex was slow, romantic, Javier took his time and didn’t take his eyes off you as he built up a steady rhythm. He peppered you with kisses, reminded you over and over of how gorgeous you were and that it was nothing bad.
You felt one of his hands travel down, pinch at your thighs and then his thumb was pressed against your clit, rubbing slow circles so he could bring you to orgasm as he climaxed. 
He pulled out of you just before he came, using his thumb and index finger to rub himself to orgasm. Hot streams of his seed landed across your abdomen as he came, he stifled the moan that had been building, instead cursing under his breath and biting his lower lip. His thumb against your core had applied just enough pressure the moment he began to ride his own orgasm so that you too found yourself clenching, your legs trembling as you climaxed. 
For those few seconds you felt truly at peace, all thought of pain and aching gone from your mind. The physical sensation of the orgasm made the cramps subside, at least for that moment. 
You looked down at him and the mess the two of you had made, you were painted with his cum, blood and sweat. Javier looked up at you, his forehead was slightly sweaty, black hair stuck to it, he was grinning like he always did after the two of you had sex.
“You’re perfect you know,” he said as he got up from the bed. You watched him walk over to the bowl and this time clean himself up with the cloth. 
Once he was clean, he pulled on his jeans and left the tent, returning a few minutes later with a fresh, hot bowl of water. 
He cleaned you up for a second time, starting with your stomach and abdomen and then moving between your legs, gently wiping the fresh blood from you. When he was done he slipped on some fresh undergarments with a pad inside. An hour ago you would have blushed furiously at him helping you like this, but now you just watched with intrigue, a small smile on your face as he worked to make you as comfortable as possible. 
When he’d pulled up the undergarments he placed a kiss to your hip bone, and then peppered your abdomen with kisses. You ran your hands through his hair lovingly, basking in a post-orgasm glow and whilst you knew the pain would soon return, you no longer had to worry about discussing it with Javier or what he might say. 
When having left the cot again he came back with another of his shirts, he sat next to you and motioned for you to sit up, you let him dress you, carefully sliding each arm into the shirt and then doing up the buttons carefully. You wrapped your arms around you and inhaled his scent that lingered on the shirt you were now wearing. 
Javier’s hands cupped either side of your face, “Don’t ever feel embarrassed in front of me y/n, you hear me?”
You nodded, “Yes Javier.”
He smiled and pulled blankets up over you, making sure you were warm and tucked in. 
Afterwards you lay on your side with Javier behind, he wrapped his arm around you so that he could gently rub your belly, “Like this?” He asked softly into your ear before kissing your earlobe. 
You nodded, “Hmmm thank you.”
Javier hummed softly into your hair, the sound of his voice and the rhythm of his hand working small circles on your belly soon lured you into a safe and deep sleep. You found instead of the nightmares you’d been fearing, you dreamt of you and Javier, drifting on a boat down a lazy rive. The sound of laughter from the camp in the distance, birds and butterflies up above as you sat between Javier’s legs as he read you poetry.

Ooookay since we’re doing this can u tell your p.a. head cannons _inside_ the pjo universe now? (I’m actually just cheating my way through so I can get a bit of your writing but shhhhh lets pretend you don’t know that)
bea, you’re the cutest person ever !! and i love this pic of you
i. athena cares so much she can’t even handle it. she watches out for annabeth as she runs away, even though the little girl is seven and the goddess would have the power to stop her, if she wanted; she doesn’t, because she understands anger, bitterness and a desire to be free and also loved, maybe understood, and so she guides that tiny, fierce little girl until she meets two other demigods who, athena knows, would die before they let anything happen to her child.
(one of them do).
ii. poseidon hid percy from the other gods for a very long time. he wasn’t good at admitting mistakes, he knew zeus’ wrath and part of him would be devastated for sally if something ever happened to that little boy.
after fathering so many kids throughout history, he didn’t suppose he cared. not personally, at least.
iii. he does, and he discovers that quite impressively when he spots a tall, blonde woman with unmistakable gray eyes with her head tilted to her side and her gaze on percy’s tiny bedroom window. she lowers her stare slowly, new york ever so busy, cars flashing quickly in the street between them. poseidon has his fists clenched because, of course, that’s his luck, that’s how athena is, of course she would be the one to find out and heavens forbid her to do anything about it, he would–
her lips twitch ever so slightly, her gaze a promise and a challenge, and, one second later, she is gone.
iv. zeus confronts him about it the same night, and poseidon is about to tear olympus apart if his brother really thinks the solution for his “transgression” is cold-blooded murder (that’s what zeus did to his daughter, he supposes, angrily, freezing her into a god-damned tree), and, when athena enters the salon, he is about to murder her, cause he knows it’s her fucking fault his son is at risk now.
she enjoys his rage for about a half minute – that’s what he supposes she is doing, it’s what she always does; she assesses him, unmoving, gray eyes holding back everything, lips slightly parted – and when she intervenes, with that clear, soft voice he hates so much, it’s only to calm her father down because infuriating him and starting a civil war would be“unwise”.
when he leaves, she stares at him as though expecting a fucking apology, and she’d better expect it from a rock.
v. athena is prepared to face everything. she always has a plan, she always has certainties and backups, and, as percy jackson arrives at camp half-blood, she just wonders mildly whether annabeth will wait for capturing the flag to kick his butt or do it sooner, because that’s how things are.
she is not prepared, however, to see percy jackson with a stricken expression as he faces her daughter, startling green eyes blinking as he process what he sees, and he is too dumb to take in all of annabeth’s expressions, but athena isn’t.
so she sees her daughter’s hesitation, a blush creeping in her cheeks, and the way she has to raise her chin to tell him he drools to regain her pose, and then the way she leaves as thought she is running.
they are twelve, and athena is probably reading too much into things, but she wants to hide her face in her hands and repeat no over and over, cause, for that, she doesn’t have a plan at all.
vi. when poseidon learns his son is on a quest with a satyr and a daughter of athena, he is amused, because even though there are so many things percy still has to learn, and there’s no way a daughter of athena would be a bad influence, how could she be of real help? it’s not like she has powers or anything.
he learns later of the bus explosion, medusa’s trap, his son’s suicidal jump into the missouri river, ares’ quest, their stay at lotus casino and the final absurd entry into the underworld.
and he wonders if, alone, percy would have survived it all.
vii. neither of them talk about what their kids did before percy’s duel with ares, the way annabeth promised him reconciliation and used their names. they have nothing to do with silly childish promises.
viii. when annabeth goes missing, athena doesn’t know what to do. the titans have her child (her terribly-smart, brave child) and she is forbidden to do anything about it. she sees how desperate apollo is, with artemis gone, and wonders if that’s how she looks. she hates being helpless, hates those stupid laws sometimes, and hates that she can’t think of a single way to pass through them.
that’s when she sees poseidon in olympus, and he for some reason holds her gaze; she stares back, cause that’s what they do. he seems to be asking what she is waiting for, and of course he would judge her for not stepping in and saving her child herself, because he has as little regards for rules as ares has for flowers.
strangely, this is not all his eyes are telling her. they seem to be giving some advice, and athena, hands full of books, asks him back if he really think that would work, as if she could trust a kid like percy jackson with something so important.
he raises his think eyebrows, and athena sees herself relenting as proof that she is really desperate.
she finds his kid in the dams, she helps him escape, she watches over him as he holds the sky for her daughter.
she feels ashamed for her doubts.
ix. she votes against keeping him alive because that’s what she has to do, that’s what is better for olympus, and she pretends not to see his horrified expression and her daughter’s broken heart. she holds their gaze firmly, her core shaking even though she is perfectly poised, and, when she averts their eyes, she stares at his father, and, for some absurd reason, he seems to be the only one who understands.
there’s a variety of sadness in the crinkles around his eyes that athena notices very rarely.
x. “would you rather have her with him?,” is what poseidon asks, because he never seems to understand her completely. “i would rather have her alone,” athena retorts, because luke castellan betrayed her and percy jackson portrays the biggest risk she has ever seen. for them, for olympus, for her daughter. the seven-year-old girl who held her hand without realizing as her mom led her to safety. “seems lonely,” poseidon sighs, uncaring, and he doesn’t know the half of it.
xi. it’s not like they never had anything in common, athena supposes. she isn’t sure about the examples, but she is sure hating aphrodite for the joy she takes from tormenting their kids can’t be the only thing poseidon and she have ever shared. when “they hugged!” are the only words to come out of aphrodite’s mouth for the longest time, she supposes things can’t ever get worse.
until the goddess squeals “she kissed him”, and then, “on the cheek”, and even the fact that percy jackson blew up a whole mountain isn’t enough to distract her mind.
annabeth had kissed poseidon’s kid, and that definitely wasn’t on her carefully laid out plans.
xii. poseidon doesn’t mind it at all.
xiii. “they are getting married,” athena realizes, dejectedly, “if they ever make it out alive”. poseidon is by her side, something that has happened more and more frequently ever since percy and annabeth’s envolvement grew (or, as athena saw it, worsened).
“is that so bad?,” he asks her, and she doesn’t know what to make of his fondness for annabeth, because it doesn’t make sense. they’re so alike, the two of them, with the same stubbornness, the haughtiness, the pride, and how could he despise all those things in her and forgive them all in her daughter?
“don’t you think?,” she asks back, because she wants answers, but poseidon doesn’t give them.
he shrugs, and there are streaks of gray in his black hair, the lines around his eyes deeper. athena feels for him, because zeus has an army of gods by his side and he is alone in the sea. the feeling lasts half a minute, at least, and she wonders if that’s how he feels.
xix. they get married, and it’s beautiful, and athena had never been to a kid’s wedding before. she behaves as if it’s an olympian meeting, because she is not sure she is allowed to display emotions, after everything that happened, after everything she failed at doing.
it’s crazy how they both survived that, it’s crazy how, at the altar, they look so young and so happy and so alive.
she is at the back of the ceremony, because she doesn’t want to disturb frank and his beautiful family, but poseidon is upfront, because he has no shame, and because he can laugh with percy’s mom’s boyfriend even though the woman is reddened to the roots of her brown hair.
athena’s lips curl without her notice, and every women at the party is about to cry, and she wonders if she is, too, a little. annabeth’s head turn back, watered gray eyes so similar to hers, and athena finally cracks.
xx. poseidon seems to know this, somehow, because he looks back, too, and holds her gaze, and has the audacity to wink as though to say, i knew it could work. athena isn’t sure if he is referring to the wedding, the war, or even the formidable and unsteady truce they had established for the last months; and he is so cocky, so proud, so absurd…
… that she stares back, because that’s what they do, but she doesn’t wipe her tears nor hide her small smile.
it feels honest, and real, and impossible, and she has always been a great fan of these three things.
i’m sorry it turned out to be this huge!!! i just loved writing it, so thank you very very much
