my dad just asked if i wanted to go out to eat anywhere cause its just me and him at home right now and im hiding in my room, and even though food does sound good i said no because i can not handle being alone with him in any context ever
#i do not like him#and he keeps ignoring all the bad stuff he says to me and pretending that nothings wrong#there have been times of reconciliation where ive been able to at least talk to him but then he always fucking ruins them#ive told him before i dont believe people can have a relationship if their core beliefs and ideals are too different#he thinks the lgbtq community is wrong and he thinks most of my interests are evil and he hates my political beliefs#if i just talk about things like how disney sucks or how columbus was a bad person or anything like that he gets pissed#and hes aggressively mormon aka the religion that fucked me up and the root of most of my issues#he tries to bond with me over guitar and music but the reasons i like them and the reasons he likes them are so fucking different#i just dont wish to have any relationship with him at all i dont think it would be beneficial to anyone involved#but his religious beliefs say that family is important so he thinks we have to love each other cause were family#i just#i dont know#its hard#i dont care if he actually does change his views im not gonna try to force him to see my way#i just want him to leave me alone#he always tries to force me into situations with him but whenever i think about being alone with him it always brings up a really bad fuckin#g memory of when he trapped me with him at a restaurant to berate me for not doing anything and being lazy and using depression as an excuse#and other shit happened that night but that was a really dark time in my life and i dont want to think about it right now

Study Me (One-Shot Smut)
Tumblr media
Synopsis - Yuta always tried his best to fluster and tease Y/N for years, that's what two close friends do, right? He seizes his opportunity to test the waters with how far he can go with the teasing when Johnny has to call out of a study session.
Warnings - Sexual Content, Fingering, Public teasing, Clothed sex, Unprotected sex, fucking on a desk, Porn with some plot
Yuta threw a piece of candy at his friend, Y/N, sitting at the table next to him and his other friends, attempting to get her nose out of the book she found more interesting.
"Hey, Y/N. Come over here and talk to me for a bit," Yuta bit his lip as the girl spared him a single glance, "all you do is study, study, study all day long."
"Because some of us are actually here to study and not to fuck around with friends."
"We can do both," Yuta flashed his signature smile as Johnny, Jaemin and Taeil snickered at his failure at flirting."
"I'm not interested right now. Maybe someday," Y/N shurged as she begun to pack up her computer.
Yuta's eyebrows lifted when she said right now, but his facial expression dropped when he heard the next sentence.
"Johnny, you're still up for the study session tomorrow, right?"
"Actually, I meant to tell you, I have to work on my engine and I made an appointment to talk to my consouler about my class-"
"I can do it," Yuta's gummy smille was back, seeing the chance to get Y/N alone as she gathered her materials, "I am the smartest one after Johnny. What subject is it?"
Y/N sighed, realizing that her grade is more important than her distaste for flirting and she can handle it for a few hours, "World History 221. I'll be in study room 602 upstairs at 3, please don't be late."
As Y/N left, Yuta put his arms up in triumph.
"You act as if you're getting laid," Jaemin threw a ball of paper at Yuta, swatting it away from his face.
"For all you know, I could," Yuta flipped off the younger male as he slammed his book shut, smiling at the study "date" he has.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Columbus sailed the ocean blue in year 1492. Okay?" Yuta highlighted Y/N's notes, "little things like that can help you."
"Yeah, Johnny taught me that," Y/N placed her arm on the desk, laying as she yawned, throwing her pen at the wall of the small room, "he also slaughtered a bunch of people, brought over a bunch of diseases and called native Americans 'Indians.' He wasn't even the first one to discovered America."
Yuta chuckled as he tried to resist the urge to stare at Y/N's chest, the school tie being the perfect accessory, falling right behind her breasts. Yuta licked his lip as he shook his head, going back to the lesson.
"So, if Johnny taught you that, what has he taught you so I don't go over it again?"
"He stopped there, we don't really study, we just goof off and fool around," Y/N flipped through the pages of her textbook, "he only tutors me for the money."
"What do you mean by fool around," Yuta was highlighting important information for Y/N to study later, hiding the curious jealously in his face well.
"Not fool around as in 'fool around,' we just don't study. My parents offered him 50 dollars every tutor session. He's trying to save up for a new engine in his shitmobile."
"Oohhh," Yuta leaned forward, pretending to be more interested in the textbook, putting his arm around Y/N as he pointed to a paragraph, "you were right. He called the native Americans 'Indians' because he felt that he landed in India."
"He really was a dumbass," Y/N noticed the arm around her, leaning more into him as she begun to sense a flirty tone in his actions.
"Let's do a little quiz," Yuta used his free hand, locking the door to the small area as the hand that was on Y/N's shoulder moved to her thighs, "you get it wrong, I move my hand further away."
Y/N scoffed, the tension in the tint study room getting higher and higher as she handed her note cards over, "okay."
"Who helped John Smith navigate throughout his journey in America?"
"Pocahontas, and it wasn't the cutesy love story Disney made it out to be."
Yuta's hands moved closer to Y/N's center, "Good. Who lost at the battle of Waterloo?"
"Napoleon?"
"Perfect," An inch further up, Yuta's hand was now under Y/N's skirt, "What is France's Independence Day called?"
"July fourteenth," Y/N subtly moaned out, mentally hitting herself as she repeated the question to Yuta.
Yuta withdrew his hand a bit, "I asked what it is called, not when it is."
Y/N touched his wrist, lightly dragging her fingers up his arms as he saw her start to get frustrated. Yuta wanted to see how long it would take her to snap, but it didn't take much longer.
"One more question, what is the name o-"
Y/N leaned into Yuta's ear, moaning "please finger me. Knowing there's a chance we might get caught is making me so wet."
Yuta had the green light, he moved Y/N's underwear aside, inserting two fingers. A tight fit, but a very welcomed one based on Y/N's reaction. Y/N begun to move herself against his fingers as he moved his hand over his pants, a poor attempt at some relief. Yuta leaned over to kiss Y/N, the small space not allowing for much movement. Yuta inserted another finger, Y/N leaning down to put her face in his neck, covering her moans as she begun to feel her high coming.
"Such a good girl, but so naughty as to let me finger her. What if a teacher came in and saw me licking my fingers clean, your skirt messed up and your fucked out expression? Jaemin and Taeil would flip, cream their pants on the spot if they saw you like this. They talk and stare at you so much," The dirty talk in Y/N's ear ringing out from Yuta encouraging her orgasm more, "so gorgeous, so hot, I'll take you on an actual date soon."
Y/N placed her hand on top of Yuta's, pushing it gently as he begun to use his thumb to rub her clit. Y/N still leaning on Yuta's shoulder humped his hand as she started to shiver from her high, her eyes focused on her messy skirt as Yuta's fingers worked his magic. Y/N placed her free hand on Yuta's thigh, gripping it with her nails as she finished, his fingers soaked and her breathing attempting to go back to normal.
"Good girl," Yuta bought his fingers up to his mouth, sucking them clean as Y/N fixed her skirt, slipping her underwear off and sliding them into his pocket, "For me?"
"If Jaemin and Taeil were looking at me the way you said they were, might as well give them a show," Y/N fixed her hair as the boy chuckled, "but they can only look, not touch."
Yuta got into a comfortable position, placing his hand on the back of Y/N's head as he brought her closer for a hungry kiss.
"What about you?" Y/N rubbed Yuta's thigh.
"I'll be fine. A bit in pain, but I'll be fine," the boy winked as he rubbed his crotch, "I plan on taking a shower when I get home anyway. Let's finish this lesson, shall we?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As he was walking through the library, Yuta saw Y/N talking to Johnny in the library, hidden between two bookcases, running to put his hand around her waist. Her expression when he did so was a look of subtle terror as she moved his arm off, Johnny sensing the awkwardness between the two.
"Uh, Should I ask?" Johnny raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"No, but I should," Yuta looked at Y/N as she stared at the floor.
"Uhmm, I'll see you two later, thanks for the money, Y/N."
After Johnny escaped the awkward field of tension, Yuta spun Y/N around to face him and question why she is acting like he had the plague.
"What was that about?"
"Nothi-"
"That wasn't nothing."
"I just figured we're not actually together and maybe yestersay was a mista-"
"What the fuck do you mean by a mistake?"
"I didn't mean a mistake like th-"
"How the hell else do you mean what we did was a mistake?" Yuta tried to keep his voice hushed, they don't need any attention drawn to them.
"I meant like we've known each other for years and I'm fine with being friends and the whole teasing each other and honestly, yes I want to fuck you senseless, but maybe not in a 4 by 4 study room with barely enough space for me to suck your dick."
Yuta was stunned at the confession that blurted out of the prim and proper Y/N as she pulled him in by his tie for a kiss. Yuta pushed her a little bit forcibly against a bookcase as he reached under her skirt, cupping her ass.
"That's a study room that no one uses because the wifi is shit, let's go," Y/N pulled away from the kiss, fixing her skirt and yanking Yuta as inconspicuously as she could out of the library.
They ran down the stairs to the basement study room. Yuta stopped Y/N to push her against the wall, grabbing her breasts as she rolled her head back, reaching for his bulge. Yuta dropped to his knees and kissed Y/N's clothed center over her skirt, trying to pull it down. Y/N placed her hands in his hair, pulling it up softly as she guided him up for a gentle kiss.
"It's one more flight of stairs, you can wait, right?"
Yuta groaned as he rubbed his crotch to relieve some of the pain, "I think I can."
They flew down the stairs and up the hallway as they saw the lonely study room, it's well kept, but the wifi issue makes class nearly impossible.
As soon as the two barged into the room, Yuta slammed the door, locking it behind him, as Y/N took her lace blue boy shorts from under her skirt, throwing them in Yuta's direction. Yuta lunged towards the girl, biting her neck as he started to unbutton his shirt.
"Seeing you in that plaid skirt with that white shirt, watching Taeil and Jaemin stare at you the way they were. Give me your tie," Yuta led Y/N to a desk, the girl sitting on top of it as she undid her school tie, handing it to Yuta, "you deserve the best, but right now, I'm going to give you the worst."
Y/N unbuttoned her shirt, sliding it down her arms, but before she could take it off, Yuta repositioned it back on her shoulders and tying her hands together.
"Oh no, if I'm fucking you, I'm fucking you in that outfit. So everyday you wear it, you think of me and only me."
Yuta leaned down, pushing Y/N's skirt up, ravaging her as he gathered her essence with his tongue. His hands reached for her breasts as she placed her tied hands in his hair, yanking at the dirty blonde strands.
"Not right now. Please fuck me!" Y/N almost shouted as she tugged on his hair even more, signaling Yuta to come up and bring her in for a messy kiss.
Yuta removed his belt as Y/N threw her tied hands over his head and around his neck. Yuta pulled his pants, rolling his clothed erection into Y/N as she threw her head back.
"Probably should've asked this before we got all hot and bothered," Yuta pulled out his cock, placing it near Y/N's entrance, "but do you have any pr-"
Y/N placed her legs on Yuta's hips, encouraging him to ravish her, "I have the arm implant, I'm fine. Just please give me your cock."
Yuta pushed into Y/N as she wrapped her legs around his body. His thrusts were sharp, not really following any rhythm, the desk under the couple was moving in time with the boy's thrust. Y/N's moans and the sound of skin slapping together was the only sound echoing in the room. Yuta used one of his hands to move Y/N's bra off her chest, revealing her harden nipples as Yuta cupped one of her breasts, marking up the other one with his love bites.
The pleasure started to erupt in Y/N, her moans getting more high-pitched. Yuta kept his head in Y/N's breasts, motorboating them as he used his free hand to reach between the two, stimulating Y/N's clit.
"Jump down, turn around," Yuta pulled out as Y/N bent over the desk, "all mine. So perfect."
Before Yuta continued his thrusts, he leaned down, flipping up Y/N skirt and biting her asscheek, a yelp emerging from her lips. His cock invaded her as he begun his thrusts again. Y/N leaned up on her elbows as Yuta reached for her breasts, tugging on her nipples as she started to shudder. Yuta's thrust started to become more messy as he started to cum. Freeing one of his hands, Yuta reached for Y/N's clit as she continued to fuck herself on his cock.
Her orgasm came, her body shaking from the pleasure as Yuta held her close to her, his chest coming in contact with her back. He pulled out, reaching into her bag for a wipe, only finding some makeup remover.
"It's a makeup wipe, but it's better than nothing," Yuta gently wiped away the cum that dripped on Y/N's thighs, throwing it away in the closest trash can.
Yuta sat down on the seat as Y/N turned around, sitting on his lap, legs hanging off the side, as he lingered his fingers on her arm. Y/N and Yuta sat together in silence, enjoying each other's company.
"What are we now? Still friends?" Yuta asked Y/N, who was about to fall asleep in his arms.
"I wouldn't be mad if we were toget-"
"Do you think they're in here?" A voice that sounded like Taeil could be heard through the door.
Yuta smirked at Y/N as she calmed down in his arms, her hands resting on his waist, "Yes, now go fuck off!"
The only thing they heard was 3 pairs of feet running down the hallway.
"So," Yuta continued to stroke Y/N's arm as her eyes were fluttering close, her head on his chest.
"How about that date?"

It's strange to say, but I'm one of the last people to shop in the wee hours of the morning at a Walmart. I finished my shopping and approached the cash register right around midnight. The cashier had just clocked in and had just been told that was her last night working the late shift as a cashier. Starting tomorrow, all the Walmarts across the nation will close at 11 PM. Third shifters like my cashier will be in charge of cleaning and sanitizing a store and assisting in restocking for the next day.
It's a strange thing to think about. Our lives are so convenience based. Anytime day or night, if you need something, there was probably a store within a reasonable driving distance that you could go to and find what you need, barring any specialty necessities. 
I wonder to myself if this move won't be slightly counterproductive to containing the virus. As it stands now, shoppers are spread out in the major big box stores over a 24-hour period. Now, with many stores taking 8 or so hours off in the middle of the night, shoppers will only be able to access the store within a 16 to 17 hour timeframe, naturally leading to a higher concentration of people during those times.
It's been a week of interesting firsts. Just the other day, Mike Dewine, governor of Ohio made the announcement that Ohio schools would be closed for 3 weeks. For the first time in history, every Disney park on Earth is closed at the same time. And for the first time in my knowledge, my job has authorized people who don't normally work from home to do so.  
I digress from my point. First, I suppose some backstory will be due. This is being written on the Ides of March in the year 2020. I am in Columbus, Ohio, United States. I am 37 years old. The country, state, and city have all declared states of emergency in the wake of the spread of the Covid-19 virus pandemic. As I dictate this to my phone, I'm driving home from Sidney Ohio, having just completed a route delivering medicine to nursing homes. I work two jobs.
I began researching this disease and the spread of it well before it hit American shores. I've been watching the John Hopkins 'heat map' since the second week of January, a time when the only mention of coronavirus you heard was your coworker telling a joke involving it going best with lyme disease. I've learned about its capability of spread in an urban populace, and I watched the drone footage of the "ghost city" of Wuhan several weeks ago, long before it went viral (ha!) via Facebook. A booming urban metropolis reduced to how London looked in 28 Days Later. I learned about the term 'Community Spread' before it was ever uttered on American live feeds. My productivity at work, my attention to friends, my normal functioning bottomed out as I became hyperfocused on the menace that I begged the universe in vain to keep overseas. I should have known, and should have been preparing. But, as humans are prone to be, I was a product of my environment. That culture of convenience and procrastination. But now there's no more convenience and no more procrastination.
I now know that things are going to get worse. These kind of rushes on product like we've been seeing is just the beginning. We are going to face days of true scarcity. I fear that even with my recent stockpiling, that my "preparedness" has come too late. I remember my father teaching me how to stockpile and prep for days when there would be scarcity, and I've failed to do so effectively. Over the last week or so, I've done my best with the small amount of resources I have. As things stand now, my shelves are stocked. I know how to ration in emergency situations, and although it will suck, I know that I can ration much smaller amounts because I have a lot of fat on my body that my body will live off of for extended periods of time. I always joked that being overweight was just a surplus Y2K survival kit. Turns out, that's truer than I'd like it to be. I thought keto was my path to losing weight. Turns out the coming days will be much more effective. 
The scenarios that we had always gone over in are prepping drills involved an attack on the United States or some uprising within. All that boogaloo horseshit you hear, or heard. Ways to make sure that your food was secure from people that might be looking for it. Making sure that you had weapons to defend yourself and those in your care. Safeguards against basic things like frostbite or heat exhaustion. Basic first aid. Foraging. Boy Scout shit. The drills never included anything like Covid-19. At first we were told that the illness was little worse than a common cold, just a little easier to spread the people. Now, we are getting reports that it creates a fibrosis in the lungs, and even if you recover from your bout of the illness, you can be left with up to 20% reduced lung capacity. People in Hong Kong are now reporting that healthy adults that have recovered from the disease now get winded by a brisk walk. In Japan, a recovered patient has tested positive for the disease again, making the medical community wonder about the antibodies that the bodies of recovered SHOULD be producing. Dad and I never prepared for anything like that. I think the best hope in the situation that we prepared for would be that any human we come in contact with will have also been similarly reduced in  capacity, since this disease looks to be one that will spread to a majority of the populace. I'm glad that part of preparedness is adaptability, but I'm still sitting here rambling.  
I've tried to focus on purpose in the last several days. I keep telling myself that it's important to stay positive and to still do the things that I love doing. Indeed, I still play cards with my roommate and my gaming group of friends, all aware that we may wind up having to quarantine once 'things get bad'. I watch people that I love still doing the things that they love, seemingly unaware of the world that's collapsing around us. What I like to go see a movie? Would I like to go to the mall? Would I like to go see a show in a theater? Absolutely. But while many do not notice, we don't live in that world anymore. Well, some still do. They'll live in that world until the very last moment they can - which is why I had to live in this new one so soon. Even now, when it's becoming apparent that the world as we knew it is over, social media is alight with blissful ignorance and vapid resistance to the world we find ourselves in. 
When the first cases were reported in the state, it was on a day I found myself financially unstable. I couldn't have prepared for anything that day if I'd wanted to - I had victoriously paid off two large pieces of debt and was done with an 'only has money' week until next payday, and even the next paycheck had obligations. Instead of writing a plan, I wrote letters to my loved ones with advice for the upcoming hard times, and an apology for leaving them(before you all sound the alarm, that's not what this is, and that feeling has long since passed). Reading the letters to myself, I realized the cowardice behind the words, and despised myself for a few days after deleting them. Though, admittedly, even now as I watch the heat map and watch the numbers rolling in, I somewhat long for cowardice, but steel myself and square my shoulders for the task ahead. 
Now this.
Some friends have asked me to promise to get their loved ones to them if I'm closer to them than they are, or even to keep them with me and keep them safe. For all my misanthropy, I guess people still see me as some kind of fringe guardian in many respects. I suppose it's because they know I'd die before letting someone I care about die. I wonder if it makes me exploitable, or if maybe that's just my purpose. It makes a lot of things make a lot of sense. Sometimes in the horror movie of life, you're the one that distracts the monster so the others can get away. I have no illusions of being the hero, but I won't turn down the opportunity if it happens. Ugh, this paragraph was self serving as hell, but I'm not deleting anything at this point. Watch me ramble. Maybe there's something valuable in it. 
That time is a bit off, but I know that I'm going to see loved ones die in this, and I know that my friends in my time that read this will think I'm being overdramatic(I'm sure some of them haven't even made it this far and have either called me or forwarded this to authorities - both unnecessary, I assure you). I know that I may not survive what's coming. So I think the best thing I can do is do what I've always done. Write. I will write and hope that my words will create a culture among those that read my words in a distant future. My goal is to make you, the reader, not make the same mistakes we made, the mistakes I made, the mistakes anyone made. I won't have an editor, most likely, so forgive my rambled mess of a memoir. Maybe someone in the future will edit and make sense of it all. 
I hope that this is all just me ranting and raving about something absurd and in the future this will embarrass me and we'll all laugh about it. If you're in the future and reading this, however, that means that scenario isn't what happened. I hope things are better for you. I hope that I'm talked about with good words. I hope some of my loved ones are the ones who saved these words and shared them with the world. It would be really great if it was me, but I'd probably edit out this whole paragraph, so probably not. That's ok. Either way, it's now 2:30am and I must unload groceries and get them shelved. Tomorrow is another day, and I'm going to play some video games while I can like the old millennial I am to escape for a couple hours before my nerves finally let me sleep. See? Rambling run-on sentences. You'd never guess I was an English major. Ms. Somers would be so disappointed (lol). I told my friends in February that we'd be ordered to stay at home soon. They called me crazy.
I didn't realize until just this moment that if anyone ever reads this aside from those I send it to in order to preserve it, I'll essentially have been writing my own eulogy. That's fine. I'll take that.
I decided to create this Tumblr on March 30, 2020. In the two weeks since writing this prologue, things have progressively gotten worse. I will write more tomorrow.
