There’s a thin figure in a light jacket, sitting with its back turned, looking out at the water. The shield, round and whole again, is propped up against the bench by its side.
They walk forward toward the figure, who from the back looks a little old, a little bent, and Sam looks uncertainly at Bucky. Smiling with a confidence he doesn’t feel, Bucky jerks his head toward the figure. “Go on,” he says.
When they get closer, the figure turns his head, and a jolt races through Bucky’s gut.

More astrobservations:
Aquarius placements and always being the sore thumb in the family- what is that? A lot of the time family doesn’t up approve of what their into/ up to and they’re usually very ok with that. At some point they just stop trying to impress their parents and I’ve noticed some just go off the deep end and it seems like it’s spite driven + their urge to not conform rising to the occasion
When water suns are attracted to you those eyes will do all the talking first especially with pisces suns like… are you gonna say something orr 😭
With sun opp moon in synastry the sun can have a fondness for the moon that i think comes from noticing the similar modality they operate with and respecting the moons unique approach to things since the sun is a creative energy as is, once the moon knows they aren’t being stepped on and have their own space to exist these two are some peas in a pod
The dynamic when there’s attraction between a water sun male and a fire sun female in the beginning stages has the most awkward interactions… he could be the most outgoing person (rare) til he gets around her then it’s SILENCE and the weirdest attempt at flirting I’ve ever witnessed ensues. Lmk your experiences with this dynamic if they exist
Cancer placements may not want children or to be a mother but there’s this weird urge to mother or PROTECT more so… i don’t know what it is but we all have our Thing we protect, for me im oddly protective of animals and when someone becomes apart of my crew and my life there’s that urge to protect them from the world 😶
Leo sun (+ cancer placements bonus points) have this rich protectiveness that reads a bit aggressive at times, if they perceive there’s a threat they won’t hesitate to get loud and defend who they love either
Jupiter in the 12th/pisces could enjoy getting drunk/ high/ not being sober while traveling… it’s strange and very true for me
Mars conjunct pluto and hating men… it’s usually not for no reason either
Also men with aquarius placements… why are so many skinny/ lanky?! The amount aquarius placement men/ individuals built like that needs to be studied… also always got some kinda geeky swag and a eccentric beauty either eccentric weird or just oddly charming without trying (see harry styles, ashton kutcher etc and those are just aqua suns)
Libra moons are literally a mirror of their environment… we’re not sweetie pies or moody we’re literally just you 😭 (especially right when we meet new people). Also it’s hard for us to be blatantly mean for no reason, the kid to say ‘guys let’s just stop’ while playing ding dong ditch
No one’s gonna read you on your flaws like a virgo sun/ moon/ (possibly venus)… if you pass the visual test or they don’t stoop that low it’s what about your life is lacking they tend to call out passive aggressively or during a fight and they do love themselves a verbal spar… also I’ve noticed they love to talk about their day and how it went with their person at the end of the day
Also aries venuses (with a fire mars bonus points 😵‍💫) what is it with y’all making rash/ impulsive decisions to feel something or for some kinda validation then regretting it later… and this is coming from a sag mars y’all need to calm down 😭 the energy and zest is nice but channel it into something you KNOW will benefit you in the future
> Just stuff I’ve gathered if you have other experiences lmk i like to learn
+ thank you for the interactions on my prev postッ

🎃Halloween imagines
Tumblr media
Robin Arellano
He would definitely do some stupid shit.
You can’t tell me he would be that kid to pretend they haven’t been to your house before when he has been there for the 6th time for more candy 🍭
Binges horror movies and his favorite ones.
If you ever went trick or treating with him he would be so happy and hold your hand while smiling.
Wouldn’t do matching costumes cause he says that they are “corny” but really he is embarrassed going out cause of his “bad kid reputation”
But he would definitely make sure you both wear matching bandannas in public to school.
One time he once stayed home to give candy out to kids only for the kids to take more than one and when Robin caught one of them little shits they threw candy at robin like a dog.
Never again did he open that damn door again.
Finney Blake
He either is staying home to give candy out, or trick or treating.
Finn loves when you come to his house, so he would play your favorite Halloween movie ever.
Popcorn and everything. This man is prepared for this nice Halloween date.
If he did went trick or treating, he would bring you and Gwen. Y’all would have a blast ding dong ditching people’s house and run laughing your asses off.
I can see Finn skipping like a little girl cause he is having the time of his life with Halloween.
Ends Halloween with eating too much candy and waking up with wrappers around him and you in his arms while Gwen is literally hanging off the couch.
Vance hopper
You would have to annoy him and beg him to dress up for Halloween.
The costumes were a demon and you beings angel. When I tell you this man didn’t get when you said the demon costume reminded you of him.. he did not get in at all.
So when you both walked out, Bruce came to say hello when he stopped smiling at Vance who looks ready to go home already. “Why is Vance dressed as himself, yk you can’t dress like yourself dude.” Vance right then and there now meant why he had to wear this stupid costume.
He looks to his right to see you trying not to laugh. “You think this is funny shit head?” You just nod while trying to keep it together even if some little noises are coming out.
He pushes you away from him while walking away fuming. “THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT! I CANT BELIEVE THE AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH-”
He stole a little kid’s candy bag cause his whole night was ruined. The kids mom told him to be more mature but Vance flipped he lady off and said “fuck off lady” while still walking away.
Bruce Yamada
Bruce is definitely trick or treating.
Would go as his favorite baseball player, this mf would be holding his baseball bat waving it around jerks who would try to mess with you.
Would probably yell as loud as possible when saying “trick or treat”
Mf probably says “trick or treat or smell my feet” as a joke. And you would have to stand behind him either snickering or looking like you don’t know this man.
Would definitely use his baseball bat to pitch candy around his room for fun while you are eating his candy.
Ends Halloween with you and him telling stories when you were kids or like just talking about how trick or treating went
Billy Showalter
Would be baking Halloween cookies and making snacks for when you hang out with him.
You both will be definitely wearing matching couple costumes.
He just loves seeing you around him smiling happily. He will definitely give candy out to the kids and tell them to be good.
He most definitely is a type of boyfriend to always like hold your hand while watching a horror movie. But he doesn’t like watching horror movies because he’ll get nightmares every two days in a row.
So really you both are we watching comedy shows while eating candy together.  if he ever went trick-or-treating he will bring you along ‘ he likes to have you around him because he feels comfortable with you, he’ll be the kid to yell out to the people gives them candy “have a good night.” with the most charming smile.
If he was giving candy out he would always have the most favorite candy ever. and your Halloween ends with you waking up on his shoulder, smiling at the memory you two had.
Griffin Stagg
(This part is you being his parental figure cause it’s cute that way)
He would tell you to let him go trick or treating since you are kinda protective over him. He loves that you care about him a lot.
He even once called you his mom/dad/parent. He was so embarrassed that it slipped out but you said it was okay.
“Mom/Dad/(Y/n)!! THEY HAVE SNICKERS!!” Griffin yelled in excitement. He ran up to you and pulled your sleeve so he could show you.
He definitely had a sugar rush, so you had a bottle of water just in case he went too crazy. This was the first time he felt free of negativity and boredom. Of course he loved his books, but he also know that there is more than books.
He loved that he felt like a kid. And you were proud too, you were proud to see him smile like that this night.
He was very bouncy while going to houses, he was dressed as a pumpkin cause you sometimes call him your little pumpkin.
When you both went home he was sharing his candy with you even if you told him no. He still gave you some.
You both watch some movies to past the night, and when you woke up he was on you lap. Cuddled against you smiling. You softly smiled at him while kissing his head.
And that’s how you both ended Halloween

pookies i am begging for more spike content 🙏. maybe bf headcanons in og jackass era??
spike jonze headcanons
Tumblr media
an: I LOVE SPIKE SO MUCH 🫶🏼 here ya go pookie <3 lmk if y’all want bf headcanons with older spike and the jackass crew i’m so into my jackass phase rn
ok so the og jackass era omg bf spike would NOT want you to visit the jackass set because he knows the guys want to prank you but you tell him it’s fine
the first time you visited the set, spike kept you by his side at all times even if he was needed somewhere he would bring you with him
this man is paranoid that you’ll be the victim of a jackass prank
he showed you around the set and introduced you to the cast and crew
the guys instantly loved you and swore to spike that you would never be pranked
but this is jackass were talking about 😍 ofc that didn’t happen (i have a spike fic in the works about this so for now, this is all you’re gonna get lol)
bf spike obviously teaches you the basics of skateboarding
ok ok so do y’all remember the ding dong prank that johnny did in jackass number two?? there’s an extended scene if i remember correctly with johnny pranking jeff, spike and ryan and of course you’re there when spike gets pranked
so before you arrive to johnny’s house, johnny let you know that he was going to prank spike so when you and your bf walked to the front gate, you let go of his hand and stand aside
spike is like “wtf?? hold my hand??” because he loves to hold your hand anytime
n e ways he presses the button and a pink air bag hits his pretty face 💕 (in the og prank it missed him but let’s just pretend this man got hit 😍)
you gasp bc that’s your bf getting hit in the face but also you wants to laugh a little because this is what jackass is just a bunch of grown men pranking each other and doing stunts
“did you know? is that why you stood over there?” spike asked you while laughing
“yeah johnny told me about it”
obviously he’s gonna ask you to kiss it better 🙄
he always asks for your opinion about a stunt/prank
OKAY BUT LETS TALK ABOUT WHEN HE DRESSES UP AS GLORIA
spike keeps gloria a secret so he has the chance to scare you
ok i’m kind of running out of ideas rn because i’m sleep deprived BUT more spike fics coming soon i promise <3

OMG thanks so much! I loved your headcanons about Percy and Sunny so much that I need more, could I request something else for them again if it doesn’t bother you please <3
a/n: i’m glad you enjoyed it! i’m always happy to write for these two <3 i hope you like it
warnings: mentions of an anxiety attack
this is a sequel to this ask!
ah yes
holidays with sunny and percy
yes it’s march idc
you’re probably only a summer camper
so holiday season isn’t real until your last assignment is handed in and winter break starts
percy is always there for you
because of winter, you’re a little more sad than usual
so on your way home you often find yourself ending up in front of the jackson residence
*ding dong* “hey sally, sorry for bothering-“ “don’t worry sunny, percy’s in his room”
he’s like your battery pack
he lets you teach him some stuff to prepare for your own tests
he knows a lot more about the history of theater because of you
percy always tries his best to make sure you’re doing okay
if you’re an over thinker he will DEFINITELY reassure you you’re gonna do okay
you think he’s more stressed about your schoolwork than you are
but gods when winter break starts?
you guys are INSEPARABLE
because outside of camp, communication is a bit of a struggle
no phones for demigods </3
and you can’t exactly iris message percy during class
so whenever you’re together, you spend as much time together as possible
back to winter break
percy suggested way back in june to make a list of things you guys should do together
“beach babes’ to do list!”
beach babes bc yk, sun and sea
there is a whole section just for winter activities
and you didn’t have a lot of time because of school
even if you were free, you and percy opted to stay inside the warm sheets of his bed
but now?
honey it’s basically a two week long date
building snowmen, ice skating, sledding
y’all did every activity you could think of
christmas presents? please you guys have had those for a while
but you still go window shopping together to get the experience
“sunny can we please get those decorations” “we already have some perce” “yea okay but those ones aren’t blue!!”
you ended up getting them for him
redecorating the jackson tree was not on your itinerary
but it was fun nonetheless
the days leading up to christmas are a lot less crazy mostly because you guys were already burnt out from the first week of winter break
days in bed cuddling and watching hallmark movies? YES
lots of hot cocoa courtesy of sally !
you guys do this a lot
imagine your mom’s surprise when you call her at 9am telling her you accidentally fell asleep at percy’s house
it’s okay because your families spend christmas together!
i imagine your mom and sally spend so much time on the phone talking about how stressful it is to be a demigod’s parent
they have coffee every once in a while
SALLY AND MAMA SUNNY ASIDE
this means you guys open GIFTS TOGETHER!
percy got you a scrapbook!
it has all the polaroids he took of you guys with all your friends’ signatures and miscellaneous doodles all over the pages
obviously you start to tear up a little
then there’s your gift to him
a camp care package <33
you only go to camp in the summer
so you and percy only spend time there together in the summer
and there’s the possibility of quests etc etc
so you got him a care package with little things to provide him with comfort
said package has a lot of snacks and candles and the like
the kicker is the blue build a bear you made him
it has the heartbeat and everything
you even found a chain that looks similar to the one you got percy!!
yes you put a little voice in it
yes it is you saying “love you loser”
percy gave you the biggest smooch after that
after gifts, obvi it’s time to spend the rest of the day cooking
i’m black so cooking on holidays takes HOURS
you help sally and your mom in the kitchen
percy is sad because he lost his partner to the kitchen
one thing led to another and now he’s making the green beans
lots of fun belting mariah carey in the kitchen
after stuffing yourselves, you and your mom have to leave
gotta see some other family </333
so you give percy an extra long hug
because gods know when you’re gonna see him again
probably tomorrow BUT STILL
yes you have been together everyday but it’s still a sad goodbye
hugs and kisses to last ages
so *spoiler alert* you did not see him for the rest of winter break
he also was not picking up your IMs
you assumed he went on another quest
yk bc he’s percy jackson
so you went back to school feeling a little bit percy deprived
at the end of your first day back you’re leaving the school building with your friends
chatting, talking about plans for the afternoon
“sunflower!”
you perk your head up because there is only one person who calls you that
then you see him
percy in a (blue) honda civic
you knew he could drive but you were not aware he had a car
he was beaming at you, waving you over
you were embarrassed
positively though
because everyone and their mom was staring at this kid waving and calling you over
your friends were giggling and teasing you
obviously they knew about percy, but they’d never met him
“i met him at my summer camp” they thought you were pulling their legs
anyways
bringing it back
you didn’t even notice you were smiling so big
“sunny?” “yea?”
barely even answered them
you were just staring at percy
“i think your ride is here” and they pushed you towards him
you wave them goodbye as they laugh and whisper about you
you don’t even care, you just toss your bag in the backseat and get in the front
“when the hell did you get a car” “ ‘oh hello percy! thanks for picking me up i love you so much’”
you stared at him with an eyebrow raised
“it was a late christmas present from my mom”
congratulations! you have your own personal uber
the only driving experience you have is driving the sun chariot on ONE occasion
so you’re so used to taking the bus
after telling percy about how it sometimes takes you hours to get home after a rehearsal or practice
he’s decided he’s gonna drive you when you can
because he doesn’t want you going home late on your own
yes you can fend for yourself but it gives him peace of mind
besides, you would never pull out your bow in public
you tell him not to worry because he obviously is busy with other things to do
but he says it’s not too much of a problem because you don’t live too far from him
you try to persuade him but he’s stubborn as hell
percy: 1, sunny: 0
however
yk what this means!
CARPOOL KARAOKE!
you get aux all the time
i’m projecting again
deffos showing percy all your fave musicals
aka you belting all your favorite songs while percy smiles and nods
“what’s this one from?”
you gasp in shock
because there is no way in hell percy jackson has not seen high school musical
the rest of the ride is you explaining the plot and playing all your fave hits
you tell him about the love story between the main characters
“so i’m troy, and you’re my gabriella?”
UGH I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SO MUCH
safe to say you went home together and had a binge watch
it’s funny watching percy react to scenes you’ve seen a thousand times
“troy did NOT choose basketball over the love of his life”
“sunny you know i would never choose anything over you”
he loves it now
sings the songs with you all the time now
even had your karaoke moments together in his bedroom
led to lots of cute videos
courtesy of sally <3
sometimes he stops and lets you sing
percy loves your voice
even if you’re just humming a tune while you study
he’s always listening
this boy melts when you get comfortable enough to play for him
once again self projecting
you get so nervous singing and playing your instrument for people on your own
and he’s held you after so many performances and shows at your school when you’ve had anxiety attacks
so when you say “hey percy, can I play you this song i’ve been working on?”
he almost cries
because you trust him enough to share something so personal
gods percy loved it
and he loves you
tells you how proud he is of your progress and your accomplishments
you promise him one day you’re gonna sing around the campfire at camp
he’s gonna hold you to it <3

“We’re a bunch of idiots, y’all know that right!”
Baji x younger brother reader
Tw: cursing, slight mentions of fighting/violence
Ps: reader is a founding member of Toman and is two years younger than Baji
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“YOU’RE FUCKING WRONG!!” Said a voice that could be heard across the park that the founding members of toman were supposed to be at. “NO IM NOT!” A voice said back.
It was no other than Keisuke Baji and his younger brother [Name] baji, the argumentative bastards. “ARE TOO!” Keisuke yelled back. “AM NOT!” [Name] screamed back. “What the hell are those two bastards are arguing about now?” Mitsuya said to the toman members that were there.
[Name] Baji was also a founding member of toman, and he was always arguing with his older brother Keisuke Baji.
“Toman! Tell your friend that chocolate milk comes from brown cows!” [Name] yelled. “It does NOT!” Keisuke yelled back. “That’s what you two dumbasses were arguing about!” Draken said while trying to contain his laughter.
“I have proof I’m right Draken!” [Name] said. “Well then show it dummy!” Kazutora said while smiling. “Look here! So y’all have chocolate milk cartons at home right? On the carton it literally shows BROWN COWS!” [Name] yelled trying to prove a point.
“Hmmm, now that I think about it, [Name’s] right!” Pah-chin said. “Exactly Keisuke!” [Name] laughed victoriously. “No [Name], you’re wrong chocolate milk comes from white cows…” Mitsuya said. “Hmh! I won’t hear it! All those who agree with Me come on my side! Those who agree with Keisuke go on his side!” [Name] said thinking that was the only way to solve this problem.
Currently Pah-chin, Kazutora, and Mikey were on [Name’s] side, while Mitsuya, Draken were on his side. “See I win! You’re wrong!” [Name] yelled out sticking his tongue out at his older bro. “I’m gonna kick your ass!” Baji yelled jumping towards [Name].
Pause you two, lets go to the store and see if [Name’s] evidence is actually correct.” Mitsuya said. “That’s a reasonable solution.” Kazutora said as the rest of the Toman members agreed.
The six middle schoolers, plus [Name] who was in his last year of elementary made it to the Nearby supermarket. “Hey, last one to the dairy section has to do ding dong ditch!” Mikey said while already running. “No fair! That’s cheating Mikey!” Draken and Mitsuya said while running after the others.
The last one there was [Name]. “No fair, you all cheated! Right Keisuke?” No we didn’t you’re just too slow idiot!” Keisuke teased followed by [Name] kicking his ankle. “Ok where’s the milk…” Mitsuya said out loud. “Right here! I found it first!” Mikey said, “No you didn’t I was here before you!” Draken yelled. “Idiots! I’m holding the chocolate milk right now!” Kazutora yelled victoriously.
“Ok look here, this has a photo of a brown cow at the back. While this one has a photo of a white cow…” Pah-chin said confused. “Ughh! This is too hard for me to figure out!” Mikey yelled defeatedly. “It’s obviously the one with the white cow, look here it says “All produce received from white cow.” Mitsuya says while looking at [Name].
“But see here this one says “No artificial flavors 100% real chocolate?” Kazutora questioned. “Well it’s obvious the correct answer is chocolate milk comes from white cows!” Keisuke said. “DANMIT!” [Name], Kazutora and Pah-chin yelled. “I’m right and you are wrong!” Keisuke teased. “Shut up!” [Name] yelled back.
“Come on guys, let’s get outta here! Lil [Name] still has to do ding dong ditch!” Draken said while smiling. “Danm you Mikey!” [Name] yelled while flipping him off.
The six Toman members walked to a random door step ready to play ding dong ditch. Talking about random things.
“Go on [Name]! Unless you’re scared!” Kazutora teased. “Shut it! I bet you haven’t even grown any pubes yet!” [Name] yelled. “Just ring the danm doorbell for fucks sake!” Draken yelled obviously annoying. As [Name] quickly pressed the door bell, the other Toman members quickly whispered. “Come on! Let’s go before they catch us!”
“Huh?” The person said opening the door only to find seven boys running away laughing their asses off. “Come back here!” They yelled chasing them down.
“I think we lost em!” Kazutora yelled looking behind him. “We did.” Draken said while panting. The seven boys ended up in a park. They quickly fell down on the grass laughing and playing. “I’m not doing that again!” [Name] said. “But it was fun though, you gotta admit that!” Mitsuya laughed.
“Y’all are fucking dumbasses!” Baji yelled.
“But you love us!” The six teased back.
“Hey… do ya think strawberry milk comes from pink cows or strawberry cows?” Mikey asked absentmindedly.
“Well then Mikey… LETS FIND OUT!” The six replied back getting ready to go back to the supermarket.

Ni No Kuni Music Analysis: “Ding Dong Dell, The Cat King’s Castle”, Joe Hisaishi
Hello fellow Ni No Kuni fans!! Hope everyone is having a great day whenever they find this post. So being true to my word, I promised I’d share with y’all my analysis and opinions on the soundtracks of the Ni No Kuni games. The Ni No Kuni soundtracks are composed by Joe Hisaishi who is literally a legend and one of my favorite composers ever. He really does a great job of bringing stories to life with his music! I don’t know how many of these exactly I’ll do, but we’ll see. And for anyone wondering my qualifications for this, I guess they are that I am currently pursuing a degree in music performance and have always been really interested in the soundtracks of these games. Alrighty then, let’s get started!
.
.
.
.
So the first piece I’d like to look at is going to be the Ding Dong Dell, The Cat King’s Castle, theme. Since it’s one of the first places you go to in the game it kinda makes sense that it’s first on the “list of analysis” lol. So here’s a link to the piece so you can take a listen! I’ll also put time stamps throughout my analysis so y’all can see specifically what I’m talking about in the piece.
youtube
You could say that there are a few highlighted instruments in this piece, two of which appears at the beginning.
0:00 : At the start of the piece is this really simplistic drum and tambourine duet. Very dance like in my opinion.
0:10 : Which then leads me into my next point and onto when the main melody gets introduced in the piece. I believe the instrument that comes in with the main melody is a tin whistle or at least somewhere in the flute or more importantly woodwind family but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Anyways, an almost waltz-like dance melody takes over which very much reminds me of the baroque musical era. In sort, this era can simply be explained from a quote off the website Britannica saying:
“Baroque music, a style of music that prevailed during the period from about 1600 to about 1750, known for its grandiose, dramatic, and energetic spirit but also for its stylistic diversity.”
And doesn’t that description fit the little melody in this piece perfectly? Or at least I think it really does! Fun fact about me is that one of my favorite styles to play in is baroque music . And if anyone is curious, I am flautist.
So when hearing this melody, you can’t help but want to get up and dance around!
0:32 : Moving on, the strings come in and join the main melody adding a bit more complexity to the piece. Then we get into a more grandiose, majestic melody. It feels very regal and like the Cat King himself is walking around, which was probably implied here.
Even though a more proud theme is starting to take over in the piece, it still keeps that light, dance-like tone.
1:05 : At around here is when it starts getting interesting. There’s this building moment in which the strings quite down and then semi-gradually crescendo into the another more powerful round of the main melody. An important entrance here I would have to say would be the brass taking the melody here. That is what’s really emphasizing that regal and proper coloring of the music.
1:45 : And now we’re back to the more simplistic form of the melody with our tin whistle (or at least I’m fairly confident that’s the instrument lol), drums, and tambourine.
If you haven’t noticed already, that seems to be the flow of this piece. We have a more simplistic trio of instruments giving the melody and that it transitions into a more complex form with a whole bunch of instruments!
2:02 : Listen to that trumpet fan fair!! It fits perfectly in this piece and it’s a really nice variation to the theme!
2:30 : In coming to the end of the piece, an interesting ending occurs. Usually in baroque music the end of the piece is pretty solid and sometimes can even seem a tad unexpected. Here though it’s a bit different, but still does seem unexpected. We have a bit of a gradual ending as less groups of instruments continue playing. You can almost visualize it as the Cat King sitting down on his throne on the final note.
So that wraps it up! A pretty cool piece if I do say so myself. Thank you very much for reading through my post! I wrote this rather late in the evening so if my ideas are a little hard to follow I apologize lol

For the Love of Fic: March 6
Tumblr media
Holy balls, y’all. I made yesterday a reading day and I’m so glad I did. So much goodness. There’s a lot of fic under this here cut.
SO MUCH DIETER. I’m kind of dying at how we’ve all glommed onto this ding dong oh my gods I LOVE HIM AND HATE HIM AND LOVE HIM AGAIN
MULTIPLE PEDROS
The Fox, The Mage, and The Cupboard: Young Love by @littlemisspascal  This is one of my favorite series right now, weaving in and out of chronological order, filling in the gaps of our Mage’s story and weaving a beautiful, soft, magical and idyllic world out of the Pedro cinematic universe. This chapter is such a lovely study in memory and reverie, a quiet little moment at The Cupboard, one where I could stay and sit in the sun all day.
How Did You Love chapter 4 by @writeforfandoms  Six Pedro boys ripped from their own universes at the moment before their death are being given the chance at being part of your family, but you only get to pick one. Or two. And in this chapter, we’re getting a glimpse into Ezra and a possible new twist in the story...
.
DIETER BRAVO
Bravo Juliett by @deadhumourist  Omfgts if you love to hate Dieter, this one’s for you. Ani says it’s bordering on crackfic and it is, but it’s so fkn beautifully representative of a Hollywood asshole. At first I was like NOPE YOU SHITHEAD NOT COOL and then the meta film references had me giggling and HIS LAST LINE TO HER I’M STILL LAUGHING.
Extra Whipped Cream by @pettyprocrastination  Tj took our dumdum boy and made him real and relatable....oh, and a porn star. This little encounter speaks of smut but isn’t smut itself and I love it so much I’m gonna take it out for a real nice meal. Or at least a fancy coffee.
Untitled by @archive-of-note  A follow-up to the aforementioned Extra Whipped Cream, our barista goes home and thinks over a few things while having herself a little fantasy session. I am so angry these two are gonna make me wet my panties for this damn man. 
Hold Me Closer by @pascalnerdery​  A short and sweet little bit of angst that ends in fluff. Wouldn’t it be nice if Dieter was really this sweet?
A Little Like Strip Poker by @mandosmistress​  Holy balls, this is fkn masterfully done. Dieter is a total wanker but our Mistress has made him a very fkn hot wanker. I hate him and I would still bang him in this scenario. Wonderful.
Please by @ezrasbirdie  Hot damn, of course Birdie’s gonna take this crap man and make him beg. I hate all of you for making me read smut about Dieter fkn Bravo, but HOW CAN I HELP IT WHEN IT’S SO MUCH FUN.

JACK DANIELS
With One Star Awake by @writeforfandoms Jen always writes a very sweet Jack, especially with his fair-goings. And this one remains just as sweet, but also softens, a quieter atmosphere, even a little dreamlike. It’s just two rounds on the ferris wheel, but it’s also just a moment to breathe with our beloved cowboy.

MAX PHILLIPS
Fairground Attraction by @imtryingmybeskar  First of all, I’m kind of in love with the nicknames “unicorn pants” and “bitey” and I don’t care who knows it. Secondly, I love that Max loves to see reader happy. Thirdly, I too wanna be alone in that pod with Max.

FRANKIE MORALES
Real Sugar chapter 1 & chapter 2 by @deadhumourist Listen. To me, cooking is like a superpower and really good food is akin to really good sex. And Ani here KNOWS HER FOOD. Holy balls, this is like following a pro chef around the kitchen, and I was salivating over her descriptions of cheese bread and oxtail like I was reading the filthiest smut. Frankie’s a humble and troubled rockstar that can’t cook and the reader character becomes his live-in chef. Please y’all. TREAT YO SELF.

Mini Mart Massacre
Nine Jeff X Reader One shot (3206K words)
Content warning for graphic gore, murder, mentions of vomit.
You’re covering for your shitty coworker’s shift again. Late night, it’s slow. A mysterious man comes in and starts killing your friends left and right. Will you live to see the end of the night?
Nine Jeff belongs to @killersnarl / @carnalhaus
“God, I can’t believe him.” You grumbled to your co-worker, putting twenty-ounce cokes in their place. 
“I know right.” Ricky mindlessly agreed. Understandable after hearing this sort of frustrated dribble from you for the fifth time this week. But you just couldn’t let it go, Shaun was really starting to piss you off. Didn’t even have the courtesy to call out of work or even ask for you to cover his shift. He just didn’t show up. Hardly had been for the past two weeks but the past few days he’d nearly dropped off the face of the earth.
Gabe said he got a text from the deserter, with a smile he told you that Shaun was in love. Good for him but if he wanted to run off with some prince charming then he better quit first so your personal time wouldn’t continuously be uprooted. Money was cool and all, you needed it to live but having to constantly cover the guy’s ass was fucking awful. You’d always gotten a weird vibe from Shaun, quiet, reserved, always stared so creepily at other people. If you didn’t know any better then you’d think he knew something about you and everyone else. Something bad. 
“Dude,” Tara called from the aisle behind you, “He’s happy. Give it a rest.”
“Well, I’m not. It’s annoying. I was gonna watch trash TV tonight but no, I gotta close with y’all. No offense.” The shift really wasn’t as bad as you made it sound. All you had to do was stock up the frozen food section with Ricky, sweep, and go home in fifteen. Tara would take care of the shelving in the aisles as there were only three that were mostly full. The Mini Mart only got enough business to stay afloat after all. Out in front was Gabe, last you saw he was leaning on the register counter and smiling at his phone.
“Some taken.” She snickered, “Really though, can you just stop being such a player hater?” 
“Yea,” Gabe called from out front, “Makes you seem bitter.”
“I am not- Whatever.” You just wanted to get home already, didn’t wanna argue about stupid shit. You could foresee yourself being short with your friends for the next few days since they were so adamant about being on Shaun’s side.
Ding-dong!
The cheerful robotic bell alerted of an unwanted customer.  From your position in the back, you couldn’t see them. A hush fell over the store, the place was closed. Little red and white sign hanging from the front door's handle said so. Guess they didn’t read it.
You could have sworn the blue fluorescents overhead started to burn a little brighter, buzz a little louder. The familiar pale blue tint only grew more saturated, the air felt thick. Dust discordantly floating about in the blue otherworldly shine. Owners really had to buy themselves better lights because this shit happened like clockwork. Every hour on the hour for nine minutes. 
“Hey, sorry man,” Gabe started at the thing that cast a long shadow across the floor, “We’re closing up shop right now. You can come back tomorrow.” 
There was no booming footstep, no quiet approach. Just a normal everyday sound of someone walking. 
“Hey dude, seriously. We’re closed. Put that down.” Gabe’s voice started to waver, hints of apparent fear bleeding through his stern intonation. 
“Would you have if they could have pleaded?” Deep and raspy, there was something about the way that man spoke. Something that didn’t sound annoyed or defensive but paralyzing instead. You could feel it deep in your gut, on the hairs standing up the back of your neck, on the goosebumps that’d risen from your forearms; He meant harm. Bodily. Psychologically. 
“What?” Gabe scoffed, “Ya’know what? I don’t care. I’m calling the cops.”
“You like that they trusted you, that they never thought to fight back. You like to watch them die.”
“I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about!” Gabe bleated back. The footsteps didn’t stop. You and Ricky glanced confusedly worried at one another. 
He started to pull out his phone when the mystery intruder spoke once more, “Why are you backing away then? Is it because you don’t want to drink like a thirsty dog?” 
“I- WHAT!?” A screech ripped from the front of the store. Morbid curiosity pulled you to crawl toward the nearest aisle and peak around it. Tera was staring, frozen and shaking at the sight. 
“PUT THE ME THE FUCK DOWN! FUCKING SQUARE HEAD!”
That man, that thing, was huge. Tall, broad, imposing. Only his side profile was available for viewing. Mostly obscured by long black hair, most of which had been tied into a loose ponytail. Stern browed, nose downturned, teeth showing through a tight smile. One hand about Gabe’s neck was all it took to lift the fully grown man two feet off the floor. Thumb jammed in the soft flesh where his jaw and neck met, forcing his head back. Gabe wiggled about, holding onto the man’s thick forearm for some stability but he still looked like a fish on a hook.
“SOMEONE! HELP!” Bulging brown snapped to you and the woman. No way that you were going to play hero against that fucking behemoth. Still, there was a slew of emotions kicked up by seeing a friend in that position. 
The man held a fat bottle of Bleach. Mostly used to clean out the nasty bathroom, sometimes the floor. Uncapped, tilting toward Gabe’s face. Getting what was about to happen, he twisted his lips into his mouth.
“You don’t want it?” His attacker cooed, "Aren't you thirsty after a day of hard work?"
Gabe vigorously shook his head, whining and struggling. All the three of you could do was watch. Ricky was on the phone with an operator, hopefully, help would be arriving soon but none of you wanted to brave running out the front door he was only feet away from. 
A yellowish liquid dribbled over the bottle's opening, right onto Gabe’s wide open eyes. You don’t think you’d ever forget the shrill, animal-like way he screeched. Mouth open, the man took his opportunity to jam the opening between his teeth. Gabe’s body violently revolted against the product cleaning the mucus from his esophagus. Another fat hand slapped onto Gabe’s flesh, this one squeezing his lips around the neck of the bottle. Forcing him to keep in a reactionary stream of vomit. Not without thumb and pointer pinching his nostrils shut.
"Honestly," The man started evenly, "This is so much faster than diluting it with water." Gabe violently twitched, no longer holding onto his attacker's arm but instead trying to pry to bottle away from his mouth. Nothing he did had any effect. "Hurts worse too, huh?" 
You jolted, nearly letting out a shriek when someone tapped you on the shoulder. Ricky had crawled up behind you, phone pressed between his ear and shoulder. Head jerking in the direction of a gray door. Backroom, concrete floors, ceiling hight storage shelves, always smelled vaguely if cheese. 
You caught his drift easily enough but Tera wasn't looking at either of you. Completely entranced with the two in front. As much as you wanted to bolt, you had to get her attention and get her to leave. 
Calling her over would get unwanted attention. You held up a finger to Ricky, no minimum wage worker with no healthcare benefits left behind. 
Slow and steady you got yourself off the ground. Step by step, closer and closer. Hands raising to give her a little tap while your eyes didn't leave his face. With your approach, you only got to see more and more of his face. It was something of the likes you'd never seen. 
He looked like he didn't know what moisturizer was at first. Skin warped, texture looking uneven and off-color. But it wasn't a bad case of extreme and crust from not showering. His skin shone too little in the bright light. Flesh stretched and shifted when his lips curled back into a wider, toothy grin. With the movement the indent of irritated flesh running across either cheek shifted, top and bottom moving slightly different from the other as tectonic plates of scar tissue.
Beady eyes focused on Gabe, twinkling softly hateful. You couldn't tell if all he had was a pupil or if his irises were that pale.
Please, you internally begged, don't stop looking at that shuddering body.
One finger was all it took to place a gentle tap on Tera's shoulder. 
Gasp.
She jumped and turned, unfrozen and wide eyed. So did he.
The wicked wretch drawled, “Oh, hey you.” You didn’t think someone could smile that wide. “It’s nice to see you again.”
His dubiously friendly gaze locked Tera in place. You were pretty sure she was about to piss herself. All she had to say was, “Jeff.” Applying such a human title to that thing felt very, very wrong.
“I wanna say the one and only but ya’know, common name.” Jeff flatly joked.
“I- I- I haven’t done anything else. I swear. Please-”
Jeff wheezed, fully whipping around, Gabe’s body sickly swinging in his grip. “Come on now Tera. You don’t think I haven’t been checkin’ in you? You really do think you're clever.”
THUD.
Gabe’s body lay forgotten on the floor. Bottle finally rolling away from his open mouth but it was too late. Consciousness had already slipped and judging from how hollow the container sounded as it nonchalantly rolled away, he was gonna be dead soon.
“If it wasn’t for me he would have suffered for hours. Was it the guilt you felt with yourself? Was that why you didn’t kill that poor vagrant? Or are you that pathetic to the point where you try to kill an unmoving target and fail?”
You didn’t know what he was talking about. Either way, you wanted out of there. Since you didn’t want to be guilt ridden for the loss of another, you tightly gripped her and tugged. Her shoulder was like pulling on the start of a chainsaw, after you did so, things were set into violent motion. 
Jeff lurched forward, brandishing a hunting knife that'd been yanked from it's sheath. Survival instinct kicked in fully and you let go of Tera, bolting away from the ground-shaking behemoth. She just watched him come.
Nothing was like the sound she made when the knife buried itself in her soft belly. Her body crumpled in on itself. People compared a car crash to something they couldn't peel their eyes from but this was more like a burning, three lane pile up.
You’d completely forgotten about Ricky until he grabbed you by the forearm and screamed, “Come on!” 
Jeff’s head robotically snapped up to meet your eye as you were being dragged toward the storage room door. “Hey, wait up!”
“No!” You screeched, stumbling behind Rickey, “You sick fuck!”
He sighed, exasperated by your rejection, “Your friend and I are the same, you know. You'd be better off with me.” 
Romantic implications and the sound of someone groaning in agony were never the best combo. A taste sweet yet vile like milk a few days past it’s expiration settled over your tongue. You’d never felt so disgusted and you just wanted him to, “Go away!”
Whatever Jeff was doing to her sounded distinctly wet. Mac n’ cheese that squelched so loudly that it could be compared to good pussy. But when he came around the corner to give chase, you found that he’d rearranged her guts in the worst way possible.
Balled tight in his massive fists were slimy pink ribbons. Sticking out between his fingers, tightly pulled over his knuckles. All leading back to a fat slit in Tera’s belly. Screaming and sobbing, she clutched desperately onto her own small intestine to try to pull it back. Nothing worked and she continued to be dragged along the floor like a dog on a leash.
“No,” He wouldn’t stop smiling, “I don’t think I will.”
Ricky burst through the storage room door, you in tow. You’d been back here more than a few times but what you hadn’t done was load stock into the room. It wasn’t like you hadn’t seen the doors before you sort of forgot in your piss-pants state of mortal terror. 
The shelves towered far over your head, compensating for the tiny space area. No sign of the exit was in immediate view. Ricky better hurry up and pick one of three possible paths or you’re dead meat.
If this was a badly directed horror movie, Ricky wouldn’t have known where to go. He hurriedly dragged you down a narrow pathway lined with half unpacked boxes. 
Tera and the backroom door screeched with Jeff’s entrance. His footsteps heavy and floor shaking. “The door's not going to work.” 
Ricky went to shove the door open with his side, it opened only half an inch. Again he rammed his body into the thing only for it not to budge. “Oh, no, no, no, no.” He kept at it while you looked for an odd lock or something obvious jamming the door. 
Tera finally stopped screaming. Passed out from shock, poor thing.
 The giant of a man cast a long shadow over the thin passage, backlit by pale blue. Giant hand relaxing, letting Tera’s stretched guts wetly flop onto the floor.
“There’s a way out for you, butcher.” Jeff spat out the title between grinding teeth. He was smiling so tender but his eyes didn’t reflect the sentiment.
“There is?” 
Wider. More teeth. “Look at you, hopeful little thing. Of course there is.” One step, slow, barely closing the distance. “An easy, free way out for someone who takes, and takes, and takes.” Two, three, four, faster. Knife bloody but not satiated.
You knew Ricky to steal chips from time to time but that's really it. 
Ricky quaked against the door. “No I- I donate to charities,” His eyes landed on the rosary idly hanging out of the pocket of his pants. “To the church! Thou shalt forgive or something, right?”
“Thou shall not kill.” 
“Yeah, that-”
“You haven’t been a very good boy, Ricky. God wouldn’t be happy with the bodies buried underneath your basement.” Five, six, seven.
You desperately looked around for something to defend yourself with. A pack of pudding cups within your immediate reach was snatched and thrown at the beast. “Shut the fuck up!”
Caught. “Thank you.”
Eight. Closing in. You pressed yourself into a corner and looked for an escape. There was none. All you had to cut him with was fear filled shouts, “That was meant to hit you, fucking hypocrite!”
Hand over his heart he sincerely sneered, “I am a hypocrite and I deserve to rot in hell. What does that change (Y/n)?” Morals did nothing for corpses.
Dread. Stone cold and heavy in your stomach. “You know my name?”
Jeff smiled fakely docile, “I know that you steal candy from isle two. I know that you’ve been working more hours lately.” 
All things Shaun would’ve known. Wait a second. “Are you Shaun’s boyfriend!? Did he send you to fucking kill us? I didn’t think we sucked that much dick!" You sobbed.
Jeff scratched the back of his neck, “Boyfriend is a strong word.” Ouch, poor Shaun.
The giant snapped back into his imposing demeanor, “I came to cleanse.”
Ricky quaked, “Okay, uh, fine, I can do forty-five Hail Mary’s! I can atone!” 
You didn’t understand. 
Nine.
Hot, heavy, chest heaving breaths wracked Jeff’s giant body. Icily staring down his prey/ Body so wide you didn’t have a hope of slithering passed. 
You don’t know how long you all stood in that tense limbo of inaction. Eventually, Jeff moved, slow and steady he tucked away his knife. It’s over. 
Ricky was off the ground in the blink of an eye. One of Jeff’s hand’s on either side of his head, thumbs pressing into his open eyes. Ricky kicked, screamed, and begged for mercy but judgment had already been decided.
Crraaaaccck!
Ricky’s head molded into Jeff’s fingers like cracking clay.
Yank!
Hot blood splashed onto your face, your work uniform, everywhere. Ricky wasn’t begging anymore. His voice box was ripped messily in half along with his head and upper torso. Pink and red squishy bits of gore started to slide out of place. Jeff toothily smiled at you from between the two foot gap in Ricky’s front teeth. 
Yank!
Ricky’s body flopped apart. One side hogged all his vertebrae, while the other had most of the brains.
Pleased, Jeff ran his tongue over his reddened lips. Loudly slurping as he sucked in an unidentified piece of gore. 
You vomited in your mouth, pounded your fists fruitlessly against the back door and sobbed. 
The two halves of human dropped from his hands. Landing with a sound like an egg breaking on tile floor. 
Jeff stepped over the body. You pressed yourself harder into the wall, hysterically shaking your head. 
His body heat radiated powerfully from his chest, few inches away at most. “You.”
Instead of playing the useless sole survivor, you decided to attempt to go with a fight. “Fuck off!” 
Your totally kick ass, defiant attempt to punch him in the face actually worked. He just took it. Didn’t stagger back or even yelp. Stare unbreaking.
“Eat shit!” Another punch. “Die!” Another.
The beast jerked forward with a throat-tearing roar, bloody hands coming straight for your face. You screwed your eyes shut and waited for a horrible death.
It never came. 
You popped an eyelid open to find him still as a statue. Hunched over, face so close you could smell the blood on his breath. He pinched your chin between his pointer and his thumb, tilting your head back and luring your eyes to meet his. Baby blue, sparkling with mischievous delight. 
Vile. 
You gathered all the spit you could and pelted him in the cheek with a soft slap. Clear-ish ooze dribbled down his skin, picking up a red hue as it went. 
Sirens distantly wailed. 
Jeff beamed almost affectionately at you, patted the top of your head, then kissed your forehead as you uselessly gnashed your teeth at him. “Be good.” Hands dragged off of your stained body with a sense of lingering desire, almost as if he didn’t want to leave the poor, broken, thing behind. Alas, the police were closing in and he couldn’t have you screeching like a banshee as he tried to get away. 
Mercy.
The wannabe angel began to lumber away. You didn’t hold your breath, waiting for the fake-out to end. He stopped. Here it comes. 
“Oh and (Y/n)?” Tender and kind he sounded like an old friend.
You raised shaking fists, “What?”
With one last lovely look, Jeff sweetly told you to, “Have a good night.”
Mental auto-pilot had you reply with a, “Thanks, you too.”
Nine steps and he was out of view. Three more and he was out the backroom door.
Traumatized, confused, out of friends, and caked in their blood you made a promise to yourself. Next time your paths would cross you’d have a better weapon than pudding cups.

⭑ teacher’s pet | prelude
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: sukuna x fem!reader/original character, platonic!yuji x reader.
genre: older itadori brother/tattoo artist!sukuna au. baby/kindergartener! yuji.  parenting!au, some domestic fluff (later on), other things will be added as they come up.
warnings:  possible grammar errors, drama, mentions of insecurity, mentions of death (via yuji, and extension, sukuna’s grandfather), tattoos, mentions of food, mentions of abandonment, motorcycles, parenting, additional stuff will be tagged as it comes up, sukuna’s sometimes a bit ooc (i guess??? feel free to tell me if he is).
additional notes: sukuna looks like a mixture of his original form, and has the extended height from his original form in this (so he is a large, muscular man/a damn beefcake) and yuji as a teen with the naturally pink hair and brown sides. if i could draw him, i would. also, our main character, miss freya is a black woman. 
word count: 3.1k
But, here is the reader-insert version... because I love y’all.
summary: sukuna is yuji itadori’s older brother, and a tattoo artist. but nothing takes more priority than his baby brother, even if he isn’t good at showing it.  when yuji falls head over heels for his kindergarten teacher, sukuna soon learns exactly why the six year old likes her.
additional aesthetics/materials to go with:
spotify playlists: ( x, thank you @gillinanarts ) and this is like a soundtrack ( x ). sukuna specific playlist ( x ), reader/freya specific playlist ( x ).
Tumblr media
“Tch,”  Sukuna scratched at the nape of his neck as he went to tug at the door.  “I got it, old man!”  His lips were pulling into a sneer at the thought of some kid playing ding-dong-ditch.  However, if it weren’t for the muffled noise of a small animal, he wouldn’t have looked down at the car seat at his feet. He was tempted to nudge it with the toe of his left foot but then decided against it.  Maybe that wasn’t an animal. After all, usually… humans were in car seats, right?  He squats down towards the carrier, and pinches the blanket between his index finger and thumb, only to see a chubby, red-faced baby, his fists chunky and rubbing at his face.  It takes two blinks and a skip of his heartbeat to finally make sense of the note attached on the top of the carrier before Sukuna ever moves to wipe a tear from the baby’s face.  “Yuji, huh?” He murmured as the baby made a noise before proceeding to try and grab one of Sukuna’s oversized fingers.  Yuji mutters something in baby garble, even sort of glares at it — if a baby could glare, that is — and tugs on it. 
“You got a good grip there, brat,” Sukuna chuckled as Yuji grips his finger and tries to pull it into his mouth, only for the older brother to curl his finger down, stretching back to pick the carrier up and bring it inside, nudging the door closed with his foot.  He may be eighteen, but he’s not stupid.  He hadn’t seen his mother or father in thirteen years, but they still had the nerve to leave their second kid on the doorstep — as if they were telling his grandfather, “You did so well with the first one, here, raise our second one too!” 
Another snort left him as he rolled his eyes. His grandfather had done his best — but it didn’t stop the two trips to juvie, and all the countless times he had gotten detention, or a letter was written to his grandfather about his behavior that he had either forged a signature on or tossed in the trash. Sukuna’s pride and the subsequent need to handle everything himself were among his many weapons of choice. Much like his hands, or his knuckles, or his boots.
Sukuna sits the carrier on the dining table, unbuckles the baby, and picks him up into his arms, holding him against his chest. Yuji makes an “mmph” noise and shoves his whole hand in his mouth, chewing on his fist.  His other fist takes an opportunity to quickly curl itself into Sukuna’s black t-shirt, holding for dear life.  “Did mom and dad leave you?” Sukuna asks, watching Yuji look up at him and open his mouth before going back to suck on his fist. “Wait till the old man sees you,” he adds, his lips curling in a little smile.  Yuji twists his lips into a toothless smile, but Sukuna can’t help but think it’s more so at the small fart he’s let out instead of listening to his older brother’s words.  The older brother can’t resist the smile that forms on his lips. Yuji is all of a few months old, and he’s a little shit.  But something in his heart is warm and full at watching him look around in Sukuna’s arms, occasionally moving to slap his wet, spit covered hand on either Sukuna’s face or over his mouth. 
Sukuna barely notices he’s pulled at the cord that twists open the blinds. He can hear the hum from the lights in his grandfather’s room, glances to the older man in the bed and then back to the bushes outside, and how someone neatly takes the time to blow cut leaves into a pile, as if it matters. He stopped paying attention to the deafening silence between his grandfather after the first time the man has said, “Make sure you take care of Yuji.”  
As if Sukuna would do anything else when it came to his younger brother. Taking care of Yuji is all he’s ever done, at least for the past six years. When it came to Yuji, it was like the heavens had given him a second chance, another attempt to make something decent of himself instead of picking locks and picking fights. 
It’s not like he had a choice when a baby shows up on his doorstep (well, his grandfather’s doorstep), with a note attached reading: His name is Yuji Itadori. He’s Sukuna’s brother.  Look after him.   It didn’t take a genius to know that considering his grandfather didn’t have any secret love children — that the baby belonged to one, if not both, his parents (indeed his father). And was another grandson, another mouth to feed and be left in the care of Wasuke Itadori.  But now, Wasuke Itadori was dying — and his second grandson, Yuji, would be left in the care of his eldest, Sukuna. 
It was either that or the foster system, and if Wasuke hadn’t thrown Sukuna into the foster system, especially with all the hell he raised, Sukuna wouldn’t do the same to his innocent younger brother. Plus, it was one of the man’s dying wishes to his grandson, so that the least Sukuna could do was try and follow through.  “Not like I can do anything else.”
His broad shoulders fill the window space, and he glances over his shoulder to see the old man fast asleep, so he reaches for his jacket on the back of the chair and tugs it on, picking up his helmet and gently sliding the door shut behind him.  He stops his grandfather’s usual nurse, murmurs that he’ll be back later in the afternoon, and thanks her for taking care of the grumpy elderly man.  He picks up on a nurse laughing at a joke coming from a child’s voice, and he sees Yuji, ever the charmer, leaning on his tiptoes to talk to a nurse who is leaning over the counter and conning his way for another lollipop at the same time. 
The nurses surrounding the station look up at the man walking towards the station, his vermillion eyes fixated on his younger brother, framed by dark lashes and a stature that resembles a god.  Blessed with height and good-looks to shame even the highest-ranking model, and oh.  The tattoos. The tattoos that frame his neck from his back tease on his shoulders, and the few times, the nurses caught his shirt raise; they end towards his hipbones.  It’s easy to drink him in like hot coffee, especially when he raises a hand to ruffle Yuji’s hair. “Alright, Casanova,” Sukuna chuckles as he gestures to the child’s helmet in a nearby plastic chair. “Grab your helmet. We’ve got to get going.��� Yuji furrows his eyebrows to ask who is casanova, but with the unwavering gesture from Sukuna, he trots off to grab his helmet and pull on his jacket. 
“Thanks for looking out for him,” Sukuna thanks the nurse — a blonde girl, no older than about 21.  She has a training sticker on her badge and her hair pulled into two buns on the side of her head. He watches as her cheeks turn pink. His hand dips into the mug filled with lollipops on the counter and puts it into his pocket for later.
“Of course,” She replies, and he can’t help but think of the irony of her name — Candace (but for the weeks they’ve been coming to the hospital, she insists on being called Candy)— as he looks back at Yuji, who grabs up at his hand, and holds it. 
“We’ll see you later, Candy.” Sukuna winks, a sly smile pulling at the corners of his lips. “Stay sweet, yeah?” He grins to himself when he spots the bright red on her face.  That was the reaction he had wanted all along — the crimson on her flushed cheeks. His boots echo down the hall with Yuji at his side before looking down at the six-year-old.   
“We’ll be back this afternoon to see granddad,” Sukuna informs him as he gives a click of his tongue for Yuji not to unwrap the candy in his fist. “You haven’t had breakfast yet.”
Yuji sighs and gives a small huff before asking the question he’s been thinking of all morning.  “Kuna?” 
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Is Granddad going to die?” 
“Tch,” Sukuna starts, his tongue going against his cheek before he then raises his shoulder. He’s not the grim reaper, so he can’t give an exact answer, but Sukuna isn’t one to lie to Yuji, and there’s no point in sugarcoating it either. “Maybe. I don’t know.”  Sukuna watches how Yuji’s head looks down at his light-up sneakers — which in any case, the boy would have taken delight in —and picks him up onto his hip.  “But if it happens, don’t worry. I’ll take care of you, and we’ll be fine. Think of good shit, okay? Like the flowers, we’ll bring the nurses. Or… what you want for breakfast.”
“Pancakes!” Yuji yells, wrapping his arm around Sukuna’s neck.  Sukuna lets a small smile form on his lips. That’s better, he thinks to himself. He’s too young to be that aware. He can’t say that, knowing he was the same way.  He was too aware, too knowing, but maybe not having his parents around always wondering why they did that to him.  It’s too late to be tortured by what-ifs; he’s got better things to think about, like where he’s going to find pancakes from and driving a motorcycle safely with a small child in a car seat behind him.
“Alright,” Sukuna agrees. “Pancakes it is.”
. . . 
The smell of ink wraps around the lingering scent of cleaner — bleach, wet wipes, the like as Freya follows her friend inside. Brown eyes look over the panels of designs lining the walls, only stopping when Rachel sets the deposit for the both of them.  There’s a clean black motorcycle outside, shiny as if it was freshly washed.  The only thing strange about it is the child’s car seat on the back, which sticks out like a sore thumb. Just like that car seat, she feels out of place in a pair of bell-bottom jeans with little bows on the back and a sheer pink shirt covered in strawberries. Her fingers dig a little into the sides of her denim jacket, but otherwise, there’s nowhere to hide.
The guitar chords of Come as You Are by Nirvana play on the speaker overhead. It’s loud enough to be heard but not too loud to block out the television for the child who sits in a bean bag chair, munching on what looks like pancakes in a to-go container.  Freya can’t help but notice his pink hair, almost rose gold under the fluorescent light.  Her eyes soften as she watches him laugh at Tom, getting whacked in the head by Jerry, again for the umpteenth time.  Her necklace dances among her collarbones, her fingers reaching up and tug gently.  She only turns when she hears the pop of someone’s gum — the secretary, handling the front desk as she settles a hand on her hip.  “Can I help you?” She asks, with dark red hair, blonde tips at the bottom.  Her gum pops again, this time blowing into a bubble before popping over her onyx colored lipstick.
Rachel nods and gestures to the paperwork they’ve signed on the counter. “We’ve got an appointment. Both of us.” Freya walks over to the counter, and she can hear the soft squeak of a chair and the slam of a trash can lid before a door shuts.  
“ Do you remember who?”  Rachel nods before pointing a finger.  
“I got her an appointment with Sukuna since he’s good at everything — and I’ve got one with Naomi.”
The redhead sighs, scratching the back of her neck. “Gimme a second,” she sighs before hopping over the side of the l-shaped desk. She walks into the room that’s off the lobby side and gives a tap on the wall.  “Sukuna, Naomi, you ready?” She asked, furrowing her eyebrows.  Sukuna rolls up his sleeves as he sits back in his chair and then waved a hand.  However, Naomi has someone in her chair, tattooing something on someone’s back — a dragon, maybe? 
“Send ‘em this way, Lila,”  he leans back in his chair, pins up his sleeves, and his feet cross in front of him.  He’s got these black combat boots on, his jeans neatly tucked into them, and Rachel gives Freya a little nudge forward. 
“Go ahead. Good luck,” She smiles. “If you cry, I’ll come running, but remember! You said you wanted to start checking off your bucket list.” she teased before Freya gives a roll of her eyes. Her fingers tug a little onto her curls in her hair before pulling them up with a satin ribbon. Her dark curls still frame her face, with dark lashes to match.  No going back. She has to do this for herself. She wanted to start on her bucket list, and this was the first item.  Going back isn’t an option, not now. 
When she walks into the room, Sukuna leans up in his chair, and his eyes give her a once over.  There’s a little twinkle in his eyes, but she can’t determine what it means. So, she decides she shouldn’t read into it. She’s surprised to see that he has similar hair to the younger boy on the couch.  It is the same shade of pink, with brown undercuts — except his eyes are a startling shade of vermillion.  Under the lights, they’re almost a bright red, like a fire just starting to burn.  His arms and chest fill out a compressed charcoal gray shirt tucked into his light-colored denim jeans, and his fingernails pick at his cuticles as he leans back into his chair, tilting his head to look up at her.
Freya can’t help but be warm from it as she walks over, and he gives a tilt of his head to gesture for her to sit, holding his hand out. “Let me see your paper,” he demands, but his voice isn’t inherently harsh. A bit gruff, deep, and his fingers feel warm but calloused. They go over her palm before returning closer to their owner, and he adds, “Take off your jacket.”  He’s beautiful.  Godly, even.  She watches how he breathes — just like her— but his chest expands, inches a little smaller once he exhales, and repeats all over again.  The tattoos that curl towards his neck’s nape are made of dark ink, as black as a void.  She can see the curl of his canine towards his lip as he gently sinks his teeth in, like a bee pressing into a flower. His shoulders are broad enough to fill the chair itself; in fact, he’s almost too big, and she can’t help but think of what’s like just to be closer to him. 
Sukuna reads over the paper, looks at the location.  Shoulder cap.  “Is this your first time?” He raises an eyebrow, but he doesn’t meet her gaze. There’s also what she doesn’t want, and he everything she put, he couldn’t see her with anyways. No skulls, nothing he would consider masculine or edgy first.  Freya nods, still a bit hesitant to say anything.  “Yes,” she clarifies, reminding herself to nod.  If she was going to ask her students to use her words, she should hold herself to the same standard, right?
“You know that’s not an easy spot, right?”
“I know. I can take it.”  Sukuna chuckles, gives a murmur of I don’t doubt that, and then stands to his feet. His eyes are soft before he glances at the paper again and gestures. The sunlight hits him just right from the wide window near his station, and there’s a clearing filled with a mixture of unidentifiable wildflowers. They’re beautiful, and every one looks different to her eyes… she wonders if he chose it for the view. 
“You… sure you want to give me free rein on your tattoo?”
“Ehrm, yeah,” Freya swallowed. “I heard you were the best, and I don’t want a tattoo that’s like anyone else’s… so I figured I would trust your creativity.”  However, Sukuna smiles and raises an eyebrow. The comment strokes his pride, amused at his legacy that undoubtedly gets passed from client to client. His eyes give her another look over as he picks up a tablet and takes her in. And is she easy to take in…  so much so, he has to remind himself to slow down, lest he absorbs her somehow, and she disappear entirely from his sight.   He looks at the deep v of her blouse, and the somewhat innocence in glitter strawberries, and the puff sleeves that remind him so much of the clouds Yuji likes to draw.  When he inhales again, he’s taking in her skin color as it absorbs the light.  It’s like the sun has kissed her, even given her a halo.  She’s a canvas of his creation.  The strawberries.  The sun halo. 
And he picks up his pen and starts to draw. The first muse he’s had since… well, he couldn’t remember the last time he had a muse. But he would relish it while he could, before the reality set back in. “You can sit — what’s your name?” His fingers work fast with her appearance burned into his memory as he hears the soft squeak of his tattooing chair she sits in.
“Freya.”
Sukuna mouths her name to himself as he sketches a mass of flowers, a halo with rays behind them— he even works in a strawberry, as a reminder of what she was wearing, and at the bottom of the bouquet is the ivy that wraps all the flowers together. “Take a look,” he starts, “Tell me if you don’t like it. Be honest, because these are permanent.”   There’s some part of Freya that’s tempted to give a brief I know, but there’s a lack of maliciousness in his tone that makes her bite her tongue.  She leans over into his space, and he gets the slightest whiff of her shampoo — something sweet mixed with the scent of mint, making him release a soft hum.  
“It’s beautiful,” Freya admits, nodding. “Perfect.”
A pleased smile edges it way onto Sukuna’s lips, before he nods. “Then let’s get started. Lemme wash my hands and grab some gloves, and we’ll be ready to go. Go ahead and get your shoulder out, and I’ll grab a towel to keep from getting your clothes dirty.”
“Thank you.”
“Mhm,” Sukuna nods, looking over his shoulder. “No problem, Frey.”

Love Lockdown - Part 5
Back to December - Part 1
Pairing: Chris Evans x Reader
Summary: In the December prior to the pandemic, you spend Christmas with Chris in Boston, a first time meeting between you and his extended family. You struggle with implications of seriousness this milestone has on your relationship with Chris.
Warnings: Angst, Pandemic backdrop, Profanity, healthy dose of Fluff, sprinkle of Sexual suggestiveness
Notes: So much was really working against me getting this up for y’all lol, but nothing worth having comes easy, right? Anyways, tried some new stuff I learned in some articles I read, more showing, less telling. Allusions and metaphors. We’ll see how it comes across. Christmas in October anyone? Read the previous part here!
The ding DONG of the doorbell echoes so exaggeratedly, it had to have been your imagination. No, I’m really here now. With your blood pumping loudly in your ears, you stare straight ahead at the barrier to entry,  and seemingly to your happy future. 
A Christmas-covered front door shouldn’t cause you this much stress, but here you were, feeling mocked by smiling snowmen and delicate, origami snowflakes. 
You try to focus instead on one of the many thoughts flurrying your mind.
What if they hate me? Valid question, but sooo not the vibe right now. You go for another.
What if I hate THEM? Nice. None of these thoughts are stilling your rapidly beating heart.
“Ow! Loosen up the vice grip, will ya?”
“Oh,” you look down at where yours and Chris’ glove-clad hands are joined, releasing them almost instantly. “I’m sor—“
“It’s alright, babe,” Chris chuckles. As if you could muster a strength close enough to hurt this man. He’s sure not to let your hand get too far, taking it back into his and bringing it up to his rosy lips for a chaste kiss. 
You wish you could feel it, the warmth of his lips on your knuckles, but that would mean braving the Boston blitz without a piece of your knit armour. You’re not sure you’re ready for that. You’re also not sure how he does it. He’s wearing significantly less layers than you, yet he’s perfectly content as if it’s a Summer’s day, while you are, quite literally, quaking in your boots.
He notices your shivering shoulders, knows it’s not just the cold getting to you. With his right hand in your left, and his left hand wrapped around a gift, he nudges you with his words. 
“Hey,” he starts, but sees the opulent wreath on the door still has your attention. “Hey you,” he tries again. You finally look up at him. You lock your widened eyes with his ocean calm ones as he scans your face. Your brows could almost touch with how deeply furrowed you have them and your lips are fixed in a tight line.
“Typically it takes a lot to get my girl all nervous and whatnot,” he states, but you knew it was more of a question of what's up with you.
“Yeah, well… I’m not nervous, Chris.”
“Really? Cos the bruise on my hand would say otherwise,” he jokes.
You roll your eyes at him trying not to laugh. “Even if I was nervous, which I’m not, could you blame me? This is a lot. This is big. This... This is your family.” Your features soften and voice drops in volume. “I don’t wanna fuck it up.”
“Impossible.”
“You sure? Think I already did by taking this long,” you mumbled. You look away, unable to hold Chris' intense gaze anymore. Being in front of his childhood home, for the first time since you’ve started dating over 2 years ago, you can’t help but feel… guilty. 
No use in taking the conversation there at this moment. Especially knowing that lately it led to some sort of shouting match. The ‘I can’t’s’ and ‘next time’s’ didn’t suffice anymore. 
Chris only responds with a sigh as he rings the doorbell for the second time. He looks back over to you, a snowflake floating then landing on your lash. You’re unaware of how whimsical you look to him. How well you’re going to fit in with his family and friends. 
He takes his thumb to brush the snowflake off and cup your cheek. Watching as you swallow thickly, Chris moves his thumb to your throat to massage away the lump you try to move on your own. You relax into his touch, and he flicks his eyes down to your gently smiling lips then back up to your eyes. You know what he’s silently asking. Placing your hand on his wrist was your silent answer. He leans in slowly, and you wish you could stay like this, just for a little while longer. But all good things...
“Uncle Chris!” a youthful voice exclaims as the door swings open. Chris swiftly removes his suggestive hand from your neck and himself from your personal space. He prays there’s some mistletoe hanging inside.
“Hey Kiddo!” Chris huffs out as he picks the child up, replacing her spot on the floor with the present in his hand. She goes to wrap her small arms around his neck as he asks her, “Did you grow since just last night?”
“No!” She giggles as he pinches her cheeks. “I missed you Uncle Chris! You weren’t here when we woke up,” his niece pouts. You look at Chris to see him with matching puppy dog eyes and poked out lip. 
“Oh, Kiddo, I’m sorry. I--”
“It’s ok,” she cut him off, causing you to chuckle at her brashness, “I saved the gift from you and your special friend to open last!”
“Well, speaking of...” Chris pulls you in closer to him by your hand, “This is her! I went to get her from the airport,” he beams down at you. The little cutie in Chris’ arm has turned more shy when speaking to you as you exchange names and a quaint handshake. 
In a not-so-quiet whisper, she tells Chris, “She’s really pretty. Good job,” with an added thumbs-up and shoulder pat. You can’t fight your giggle and the heat that rises to your face, and Chris can’t fight the laughter that erupts from himself.
Chris is joined in a chorus of laughter, the foyer now filled with Evans’ of all ages, tickled by one of their youngest and no doubt happy that Chris is home… and brought company. This is it… you think.
It’d been a long while since you’d ‘met the family’, having not made it that far with the relationships leading up to this one with Chris. You wonder if it’s like riding a bike, or if you should’ve read an article on how to during your last minute flight.
In the crowd of smiling Evans’, you spot Chris’ mom and brother. You’ve met them on numerous occasions, all in L.A., and know them pretty well. However, everyone else you knew from a picture, a story or would be meeting for the first time this afternoon. There was going to be a lot of meeting, greeting, questioning, explaining… 
You steel yourself for the day ahead. Chris looks at you and gives you a reassuring smile and squeeze on your hand. You reciprocate, tension releasing only the slightest as you look at his sunny face, your reminder of why this must go well.
——————————————————————————
The first couple hours you were sure would be the hardest. It was a time of first impressions, and you only get one of those. Tasked with making the rounds to about 30 or so aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, childhood this and that, Chris wanted to make sure you met every. Single. Body. And as soon possible.
“That way, we get you comfortable faster!” He rejoiced. Chris’ excitement was always infectious so you try to let wash over and enthuse you. 
You lost count of how many times you fake laughed at ‘Chris has finally brought you home! We were starting to think you weren’t real!’. But with Chris by your side, the worn out joke was just bearable. He found new ways to respond each time, no doubt to at least keep you entertained. ‘Who do you owe money, then?’ or ‘When you find a treasure, you try to keep it to yourself as long as possible *wink*’ or ‘She’s not even here… she’s a hallucination’ never failed to make you laugh or make your cheeks burn.
It’s actually really endearing to know that there was some anticipation for your arrival. Unbeknownst to you, Chris had been hyping you up to his family. Telling them your accomplishments and aspirations in your writing career, which apparently impressed them. He told them your hobbies and other passions that sparked conversations about their own, and prompted advice on your life trajectory. 
All in all, breaking the ice was more delightful than you thought it would be, and hoped that by sticking by Chris’ side the rest of the day would go in that way. But the universe had other plans.
At one point, you get whisked away to the kitchen by Chris’ mom, Lisa, under the guise of needing help with some dishes for dinner. You quickly realize that it's a set-up of sorts, with most of the women of the Evans family gathered around the island putting finishing touches on their dishes and slyly sipping spiked eggnog. These are the people who you feel you have to impress.
Their chatter and laughter came to a halt as they eyed you cautiously crossing the kitchen to the spot Lisa designated you. It was only a matter of time before the interrogation began.
“So… we’ll cut straight to the chase: why is it we’re just now meeting you? You’ve been with our Chris how long now?”
“Vicky!” Lisa smacks her arm warningly. “Have you no filter? You’ll scare the poor girl off before dinner!”
Chris has told you about his infamous Aunt Vicky. “A true cream puff; soft and sweet… once you get past the tough outside,” you remember him telling you.
“It’s fine,” you start, not willing to cower from the inquiry, “Chris and I have been together 2-½ years— 3 in June. And we’ve been happily taking things slow.”
“Good on you for taking things slow. Most women would— and do— jump at the chance to lock down our Chris. But not you, you’re a woman with her own sense of self. We like that,” you’re affirmed with a wink.
Whew.
“You are as pretty as our kid spy said; thought she was exaggerating.”
“Um thank you…?”
“She’s pretty, but can she cook?”
“Carole!” Lisa warns another woman and apologizes to you with her eyes. Chris also told you about his aunt Carole, Vicky’s ‘side kick’. The two of them made for a dubious duo.
“Yeah, what’s Chris’ favorite dish of yours?” Aunt Vicky prodded.
“I can cook, but not that often for Chris,” you respond, to which you’re met with crickets and cock-headed looks. You add, “He’s out of town a lot, and when he is in town, he’s the one doing the showing and proving of why I should stay with him,” you joke (kind of), and to your relief, they find it funny.
“Oooo I like her!” Vicky and Carole say in unison, causing the kitchen of women to laugh. You really did try to keep your expectations low for this visit, not necessarily wanting to seek Chris’ extended family’s acceptance, but you can’t help the relief you feel in this moment.
The next couple hours pass of helping out with dinner dishes and dessert, giggling over glasses of cocktails and family stories. You’d narrowly avoided questions about marriage and babies, but that’s to be expected. For the first time today, you’re able to forget your worries and your boyfriend and actually enjoy yourself. Speaking of...
“Hey you,” Chris is waiting by your seat that’s next to his which he pulls out for you when you arrive at it. An early Christmas dinner is about to be served, and you and Chris are reunited at the table for the first time in hours. “Missed you,” he says with a kiss on your temple. “Can’t wait to hear about your day,” he adds. But there wasn’t much talking between you two throughout the meal, though. 
No, the Evans’ family theatrics don’t allow for it. All of them talk with complete genuineness, laugh with their entire beings, opine with their whole chests, and you see where Chris gets it from. Turning to your boyfriend, you find him smiling and laughing along with the rest of the table, looking full of warmth and love. Completed by his family. Your heart gets a little heavier thinking about how he doesn’t have these moments as often as he’d like. In part by his job, yes, but a small part of you feels like you may also have something to do with that. A thought that pains you to wade in too long.
After dinner you try to help with the dishes, packing away leftovers and to-go plates. You don’t get too far, instead get shooed out of the kitchen by the elders, being told to ‘spend the rest of the evening with your man’. You oblige, realizing you barely talked to each other since earlier in the day. In your quick scan of the house, you couldn’t find him, so you shoot him a text.
Some of the kids and teenagers were gathered around some games in the den. Their antics and wittiness remind you of your nieces. They happily let you join in, and at one point, you acquired a little one on your lap as your game partner. The two of you bond over beating her cousins in these games as you school them in a few rounds of Uno, Connect Four, and Jenga. 
Your phone buzzes in your pocket, and you smile as you check it.
“Oooooo is it from Uncle Chris?” she cheekily asks as you get up, setting her on your spot on the floor.
“They’re probably gonna go make out under the mistletoe,” one of the older kids teased. The room of adolescents erupt into a fit of giggles and chorus of ‘ews’
“Are you two gonna get married?” the little cutie randomly asks you. “I heard my Grandma and Aunts talking about it!”
“Oh, wow, um… I gotta, I’ll see you all later.” With that you dash out of the room, as symphony ‘K-I-S-S-I-N-G…’ fading behind you.
——————————————————————————
The sky was shades of baby blues, pinks, purples and oranges. It’s a beautiful backdrop to the snow and ice kissed tree branches and lawns. The road had been freshly salted and freed of winter obstacles making it easier to stroll along as you and Chris often did after a meal.
It’s even more beautiful than he said, you think to yourself. For a second you wonder why you were ever hesitant to come here. There was no real reason, yet you used a million excuses. But this time around, you finally ran out.
Not that you weren’t tired of your fear. That was it. The real reason… was fear.
You look down at your boots, the ones you dust off just one week a year now. Striding beside them are a larger, more expensive pair; they too only see the snow on rare occasions. Your eyes follow up the long legs they belong to, taking in the nice slacks and chunky cable knit sweater under a heavy, well-made piece of outerwear. Your eyes finally land on the face of the man in the fine threads. 
Looking at Chris right now, you’ve never seen him fit in so perfectly somewhere. But why wouldn’t he on the roads he cut his teeth on. He could make you forget every fear and every doubt you’ve ever had. Hell, he could make you forget your name on a good day. And on those days, you didn’t know what to do with all of that, what to make of it. But it’s the most wonderful time of the year, so 
“Come here,” you say just above a whisper, tugging on Chris’ hand causing him to turn to you. You bring your hands to his broad shoulders, smoothing out the invisible wrinkles there. You languidly drag your right hand over to his chest as you notice a red stain on the light colored knit. “My love…” you humoredly drag out as you tap on the food stain.
“I know, I know. My mother already beat you to the scolding,” he chuckles.
“You’d think by this age you’d have learned to be more careful.”
“Hmm, now what fun would that be…” his sultry tone didn’t go unnoticed by you. Your eyes on his tailored, dinner party clothes, hoping to find a relief for your emotions somewhere between the stitches. You never know where to begin with your feelings. Surely it would be to start with the easy stuff, but it all seems hard. 
You rub your hands on his chest, not quite meeting his eyes. “What’s up? Whatcha thinking about?” Chris asks with a lopsided grin, resting his hands on either side of your waist. You smile at him nervously. Before you could say anything, there’s a gust of sharp, cold wind. You clutch on to Chris’ sweater, burying your face in his chest seeking refuge and warmth.
“M’thinking about how you got me out in this damn cold! You know my southern bones can’t take it,” your whines muffled by his sweater. He chuckles at your antics.
Chris slowly drags his large palms up from your waist, and this just ensures that there are goosebumps on your skin under your layers if the wind hasn't done so already. He rests one hand on your shoulder pulling you apart just enough for you to look into his hazy blue eyes. His other hand continues it’s trek until it’s rested on the side of your neck, his thumb stroking your jaw. “I know of a way to get you warm…”
“Was this part of your plan?”
“Mmmm… maybe…” Chris leans in close, surely to kiss you, but you have other plans.
“How’s it feel to be back home?” you inquired with faux aloofness, slipping out of his hold and continuing your walk towards his mother’s home.
Chris hesitates for a second, wondering if you really just swerved a kiss from him. He clears his throat, “Uh… yeah it’s great! There’s nothing like family, I know you can agree to that. Even if they are loud… and crazy,” to which you both chuckle. “So…” he starts as he wraps his arms around your middle causing you both to waddle up the front lawn. “How do you feel? Not so bad, was it?”
“No! Far from it! I really, really love your family Chris,” you say as you crane your neck to look at him briefly.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. Although, I strongly disagree with some of their choices in best music of all time, but I’ll learn to get over that. I got over it with you,”
Chris spins you around in his arms, hands firmly on your waist. “I don’t care what you say; Joel is the best music Billy of ALL TIME!”
“Yeah, ok.” you retort with an eye roll to his amusement.
“I’m glad you had a good time babe. They’ve been hounding me to meet you for a while now. I’m happy we made it happen.”
The words are right there on your lips. I’m sorry it took so long. I’m sorry I acted silly. I’m sorry I was scared to take the next step. But what if I’m not ready? What if we get it wrong? Your throat is dry, as it often is when it’s time to bare a little of your soul. At least Chris always has something to say.
“I can’t wait for you to see me this nervous when I meet your family…” You don’t know if that makes you feel better or worse. Chris looks into your eyes expectantly, lovingly. His features are soft and tender, and you think it’s the most beautiful sight on a man, on this man. Your man.
Chris looks at your lips then at your eyes. There goes that silent question again. You’ve never been one to give Chris what he wants when he wants it. He’ll never admit, but it’s one of the things he loves most about you. So, in true you-fashion, you make a run for it.
He’s baffled, but doesn’t waste much time in playing into your little game. You’re laughing hysterically as you look over your shoulder to see him bounding after you on the front lawn. You high tail it around the side of his childhood home, kind of hoping he catches you. Not even you, as stubborn as you are, would want to be running forever.
Chris walks into the backyard cautiously, but not cautiously enough as he’s met with a snowball in the temple. And your maniacal laughter.
“Oh, you’re in for it now!” Chris sneers as he scoops up the most perfectly compacted snowball.
“Oh shit!” You slowly make for the backdoor, walking up the deck stairs backwards, hands up in surrender “C’mon babe, you don’t have to do this,” you plead.
“Yes. Yes, I do. Cos all I wanted was an innocent, sweet kiss.”
“I’ll give you a kiss! Just put the snowball down.”
“It’s too late, sweetheart.” The look in his eyes is sending butterflies straight to your heat. As much as you wouldn’t mind ‘losing’ this game, there’s too much at stake.
“Think of my hair!” You whine to appeal to his better nature. That gave Chris pause, but only for a moment.
“It’s in braids; you’ll be ok.” When Chris takes a step towards you, you take a step back, but instead of eating snow as you anticipate, you slip on a patch of ice and fall flat on your ass.
Chris is quick to race over to your side. “Babe! Are you ok?” he’s slightly panicked as he lifts your torso in his arms, checking your eyes for consciousness.
“Got the wind knocked out of me, but I’m fine, yeah,” you say through a dry laugh.
“Oh, thank god.” He says with a sigh of relief and a wide smile. You smile back at him as he strokes your cheek and says, “Now I won’t feel bad about this.”
“Wha—“ You see white as your face freezes over. Chris is dying of laughter as you sputter the snowball out of your mouth. 
“Ha ha ha. Keep laughing... you won’t get that kiss you’re wanting so bad.” He immediately stops laughing, deflates, and pouts, causing you to giggle. “Oh my goodness! Is it that serious?” you teased him a little further. Chris was done playing, though. He stood up and folded his thick arms over his chest to show you he was serious.
You stood up too, and began to tap and poke at his shoulders, chest and stomach. Chris wouldn’t look at you, trying his best to stand firm and not smile. “Look up, dummy!” you say eventually. He acts as if he’s doing you a favor, but can’t hide his giddiness at the sight on the ceiling.
A leafy green plant, with a cluster of red inedible berries, secured with a red ribbon.
You take his face into your hands, lightly grazing your fingers over Chris’ full, trimmed beard. The world is out of focus as you and Chris are now eye to eye. Neither of you can hide your eagerness. You rub your thumb over his plump bottom lip and wonder why you would ever deny yourself this man.
Pulling him into you, the gap is closed between your mouths. The kiss is gentle, shy even, after first. It dawns on you that you’d only shared a quick peck at the airport, and before then, had gone a couple weeks missing each other’s touch.
The neediness and desire within you is heightened at the thought. You wrap your arms around his neck pulling him closer. You start to get lost in him, in his warm taste and touch. You feel the yearning in Chris too. He wraps his arms around your waist, hugging you tightly to himself. His hands start to travel to places you desperately want them to be, but he catches himself, remembering where you are.
“Let’s go say our goodbyes,” he says through an out-of-breath smirk. You bite your bottom lip and reply with a quick nod of your head. 
The pair of you head inside to make your last rounds for the evening. Chris keeps it pretty brief with everyone, the both of you promising to see them again sometime soon in the new year. Early Spring seems to work for most everyone; the kids will be on spring break, Chris will be home before jetting off for a press tour, and you’ll have settled in to your new writing job, that isn’t exactly your dream gig, but a step in… a direction.
As you got into Chris’ car to head for his Boston home, waving to his family as you backed out the driveway, none of you could predict or prepare yourselves for the very different, sordid world that waits in the months ahead. How drastically it would change on grand and small scales.
You look adoringly at Chris from your spot in the passenger seat, unaware the beginning of your relationship’s treacherous slope was just a few days away. Had you known, you wouldn’t have left that kiss so soon, would’ve cherished his heated embrace a little more later tonight.
But it’s already been written.

Tag list: @ineedskyecrandall @kamilahsayeet2063 @avalawrencefl @lovekamilahsayeed @thequeenkamilahsayeed @midnitesteph (lmk if anyone would like to be included or removed in my next fics.)
I woke up to a text from Ava.
'Rise and shine, you sleepy sloth! I hope you had a good night, here's something to brighten your morning! Xoxo'
She attached a cute cat gif stretching its paws and yawning as it wakes up from it's sleep.
I shot her back a quick reply. 'Morning, babe! Thanks for the adorable cat gif, I can't wait to see your gorgeous face later today <3'.
I may have just woken up but I just knew that today was gonna be an amazing day.
The hours leading up to my date with Ava was a blur. I was wrecked with excitement and anticipation. Mackenzie noticed me on edge and I explained my dilemma to her. She didn't seem that surprised when I came out to her as bi and told her I had a date with Ava.
She just rolled her eyes and said, 'Finally!'.
Two hours before our date, I begged Mack to help me find the perfect outfit. I paced up and down my room, trying on my entire wardrobe and still not being able to settle on anything.
"Oh my god, Em, calm down!" Mack exclaimed in frustration. "It's just Ava! She's seen you at your absolute trash bottom!"
"I know! But it's different!" I defended. "It's like an actual date this time, y'know?"
"You went out for dates with Noah and Mason recently and you weren't walking up and down your room like an agitated child that just shat their pants and is too afraid to tell their parents." She squinted at me. "You like her a lot more than the both of them, don't you?"
"I- what? Mack, no. I mean, I'm not sure. I haven't figured it out yet."
She sighed and stared at me dead in the eyes. "Look, I know you like both boys but I think even you have noticed that you're more drawn to Ava. Shit, you just told me an hour or so ago that you liked her and I can already tell just by looking at you now." She waited for me to process her words before speaking again. "You aren't gonna destroy Mason's or Noah's life if you chose to be with Ava. They're big boys, they can handle the rejection."
Her words struck a chord in me. I have noticed that ever since Ava kissed me I haven't been able to think about either Mason or Noah. When I kissed both of them, I was constantly worrying about the other but with Ava, it was only her that occupied my mind.
I looked away then back at my sister. "I... I think you're right. But I'm just gonna have this date with her before I come to a conclusion."
She waved her hand at me. "Yeah yeah, you do that, but I bet you fifty that you'll agree with me."
"No way am I agreeing to that bet," I scoffed.
"And why not?"
"...'Cuz I'm pretty sure I'll lose."
~•~•~
After over an hour, I finally decided on a cute outfit and waited for Ava in my living room. I was fidgeting with my fingers while Mack made fun of me, teasing me about how nervous I was but I couldn't even focus because it was true; I was mortified.
Ding Dong!
"Ahh!" I shouted in surprise.
My sister just laughed at me and moved to answer the door. "Chill, your girlfriend's here."
"She's not my girl-" I started but stopped mid-sentence when I saw her walk into our hallway.
She may have not been my girlfriend just yet but god, I wish she were.
"Ava," I whispered, speechless. "H-hey!"
"Hey yourself, babe!" She came up to me and wrapped me in a hug. The pet name caused a rush of heat to my cheeks which I was sure she felt when she kissed it. We've always called each other by pet names, 'baby', 'babe', 'darling', 'sweetheart', 'jerk' or 'weirdo' even but this time, it felt different. Different in a good way.
She pulled back slightly as her eyes traveled up and down my figure. Her gaze set my body on fire. "You look amazing!" she complimented. "You're so pretty."
I blushed. "Thanks." I gave her a once over and felt my breath hitch. "You look really hot," I blurted out without thinking and immediately slapped my palm against my mouth.
She burst out laughing, the sound filling me with delight despite my embarrassment. "Thank you, Em." She lifted an arm and it was only then that I noticed that she was holding a bouquet of flowers. "Um, these are for you."
She knew I loved flowers. I accepted it, starting to get a little teary eyed. This was ridiculous! We haven't even stepped out of the house and I was already overwhelmed with emotions. It was a gorgeous bunch of yellow roses with red petal tips. I immediately recognised the meaning behind the colour and the tears started to trickle down my face.
"Ava," I lunged at her, wrapped my arms around her neck and burying my face in the crook of it. "You seriously didn't have to."
"But I wanted to, I wanted to do this right," she laughed and hugged me back.
This moment would've been perfect if it weren't for Mackenzie clearing her throat from the living room couch.
"Okayyyy, I guess this is my cue to leave," she awkwardly excused herself and made her way upstairs. "Bye, lovebirds! Stay safe! Don't do anything stupid and don't forget to practice safe se-!"
"Mack!" I exclaimed, cutting her off but hurling a pillow from the couch at her.
My face was flushed with heat once again from Mack's comment but Ava just let out a good-natured laugh, obviously finding the whole ordeal amusing.
"C'mon, Em. Let's go," she said.
I excused myself to place the bouquet into a vase before walking to her sedan. She opened the door of the passenger seat for me before closing it and entering the driver's side. This girl was too sweet, I swear she'd be the death of me.
She started the engine and started driving away from my house.
"So, where are we going?" I asked.
"And why should I tell you?" she teased.
"Uh, because I'm in your car and I don't know where you're taking me? That's basically kidnapping!"
"It's not if you entered on your own free will!" she giggled and I couldn't help but laugh along with her. Her laugh was contagious and it made my heart flutter.
I didn't have to wait long to find out our destination. It was a small, quaint ice cream parlour. The same ice cream parlour we went to on our first hang out together. We hadn't been back here since and the sight of the shop made me nostalgic.
We entered the shop and it was just as I remembered. It was quite and calm. A much different ambience from the outside world. We walked up to the display freezer and stared at all the different options.
Ava turned to me. "Okay, so here's how we make things interesting, we order a random ice cream we haven't tried before, no trying the flavours beforehand."
I gave her a look. Leave it to Ava to find a way to spice things up. One thing I can say for sure was that my life would definitely be boring without her.
"So, what would you like?"
"Um, I'm not sure." One particular ice cream stood out to me though I wasn't sure it'd be my cup of tea. "I kinda want to try the Maple Bacon Ice Cream but I don't know if I'll like it."
"First of all, that's the whole point of this! We won't know, it's a game of luck. Second of all, you haven't tried Maple Bacon before?" she asked incredulously.
"And you have?"
"Of course! Who hasn't?"
"Ava, that's not a regular ice cream flavour, weirdo."
"It is in my house...," she muttered as she pouted, eyebrows furrowing. I couldn't help but giggle at how cute she was being. "What if we share it? Since you're too chicken to actually get a whole scoop for yourself."
"Hey! That's not true!" I protested but she was right on some regards. I didn't want to waste it if I didn't like it. "But since you insisted, sure, I guess."
"Don't pretend you're not relieved that I offered to share," she smiled teasingly at me.
After much persuasion, I finally let Ava pay for the ice cream and we found an empty booth in the corner. It was far away and secluded enough from the other patrons to give us some privacy.
We sat across from each other with the cup of ice cream in between us. I noticed that they only gave us one spoon. We've shared food and cutlery before but this time, it made me nervous.
"They only gave us one spoon," I pointed out.
"So?" Ava questioned. "We've shared before, here!"
She scooped up some ice cream and brought it up to my lips. I looked at her and cautiously leaned forward to let her feed me. I saw her gulp as I accepted the ice cream.
She shook herself out of her daze and asked, "How is it?"
I licked my lips and gave her a smile. "It's actually really good!"
"See? You should listen to me more often," she bragged.
"Yeah, yeah, now let me feed you instead, it's only fair."
We continued to feed each other, giggling and laughing every time we smudged ice cream against the other's cheek. At first I did it by accident but Ava wasn't having it so she did it back to me on purpose.
We were attacking each other with ice cream, almost screaming at one point and only stopped when we noticed the ice cream server glaring at us.
We quiet down, trying to hold in our giggles and I couldn't help but get distracted by Ava. I saw her mouth moving, saying something but I wasn't listening. Last night was the first time I really got to look at her but right now, in the daylight, I could see every detail of her face that I missed under the dim streetlight. And now that I know my feeling weren't entirely platonic, I could properly appreciate them.
Her perfectly shaped eyebrows, her almond eyes that were a beautiful shade of chestnut brown, accentuated by her eyeliner and mascara and her soft lips that were painted in a darker shade of red today, perfectly complimenting her features. Her gorgeous hair, her high cheekbones, her strong jaw, her freckles. God, her freckles. They scattered all over her cheeks and nose making her look absolutely adorable. All these combined together to make the absolute masterpiece that was Ava.
I've always liked her freckles. I liked how prominent they were in the summer and I knew sometimes she was insecure about how obvious they were but I've always thought that that was ridiculous. If anything I thought it made her look extremely pretty. Not that she isn't without them but there was something about them that caught my attention.
I was broken out of my reverie when I say Ava waving a hand in front of my eyes.
"Hellooo? Earth to Emma?" she said, laughing. "You completely blanked out, what are you thinking about?"
"About you," I replied without a second thought.
I saw her looking a bit flustered and blush a little but she countered back. "Oh? And what about me?"
"I was just thinking about how stunning you look," I admitted.
She bit her lip. "We've known each other for years, you know how I look like, dork."
"Yeah, but I've never gotten a chance to properly look at you and appreciate your face. You're so breath-taking."
I moved to slowly cup her face in my hands and I felt the warmth from her cheeks. I saw her let out a shaky breath and close her eyes for a while before looking back at me. My own heart was doing flips. She smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Okay, you flirt," she joked.
We talked as we finished up our ice cream. Well, I ate most of eat but on our way out I bought one for Ava since I felt bad for stealing most of it. We walked out of the shop, passing the cone of ice cream back and forth to share.
"Where to next?" I asked her while licking the ice cream.
"Just keep walking, we'll be there soon," she replied while reaching out to take the ice cream from me.
I shook my head at her refusal to tell me but I complied. We walked down the sidewalk, shoulders brushing ever so slightly every now and then. I felt her hand ghost over mine a couple of times before I looked up at her. I could almost sense the conflict going on in her head. I silently giggled to myself before grabbing her hand, interlocking our fingers together.
Just like she did the night before, she looked at our hands and then into my eyes. I saw a twinkle in them as she gave me a shy smile.
"Thank you," she spoke softly.
I gave her hand a squeeze in response as we continued to walk down the street, hand-in-hand and sharing the ice cream.
I loved the way her hand fit in mine. It felt different from Mason's and Noah's hand. Their's were slightly calloused, maybe from playing football, and much bigger than mine. I liked the way their's made me feel protected and secured.
However, Ava's hand, while just as strong, was smooth and smaller. It felt comforting and familiar, like someone you've known for a long time who'd always be there even on your worse days. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't prefer this over their's.
"I like holding your hand," Ava spoke out. "It's nice."
I let out a small chuckle and nodded. "I was just thinking the same."
We walked a few more steps before Ava announced, "We're here."
She brought me to a park that was filled with trees and flowers. The park wasn't too crowded but there were a decent amount of people minding their own business. Being autumn, most leaves on the trees were a fiery yet serene combination of red, orange and amber. We walked down a pathway lined with the trees and covered with fallen leaves.
"The scenery is amazing!" I stated in awe. I looked around to take in the view and turned back to Ava to only see her gazing at me.
"So are you," she added. I don't know how many more times she was going to make me blush but I wasn't complaining.
After walking a little more, we spotted a bench. We finished up the ice cream and threw the wrapper and tissue into the trash can nearby before I pulled her by the hand to sit.
She sat a few spaces away but I scooted closer to her. I took her hand in both of mine and placed it on my lap, caressing it. We've always been physically affectionate with each other and I'm not going to allow that to change now. I still wanted her to be comfortable around me despite our recent revelation about our relationship.
Once I saw her relax a bit, I placed my head on her shoulder. I could tell her heart started to race and I had to admit that her nearness was making my heart do the same. The smell of her perfume wafted up to my nose and made my mind hazy. I was finding it hard to focus on anything else with her so close to me. But the again, why would I want to focus on anything else?
I closed my eyes and heard her speak. "I don't think you know how painful it was seeing you with Noah yesterday at homecoming. I kept trying to tell myself that it wasn't my place to be jealous but I couldn't help it. I'm sorry."
"If it makes you feel any better, even though I was with Noah, I couldn't stop myself from staring at you," I confessed. "When I saw you, I thought I was looking at an ethereal being, you didn't look like you belonged on earth, let alone at some crappy high school gym."
She lets out a radiant giggle and I felt her shoulders shake in laughter as I continued, "I realised last night that it's been like this for some time now. I hope you know that this has been long time coming, it's not just some fluke thing that happened last night."
She wraps an arm around my waist, letting it rest against my hip. "I get it, I feel the same way. I've liked you for some time now but it was time I finally admitted it to myself."
I swallowed, holding back the tears that were threatening to spill. Hearing her speak like that made me indescribably happy. "Yesterday, at the dance, I was secretly hoping you'd cut in and ask me for a dance," I confessed.
"I was hoping you'd ask me!" she revealed and we both laughed.
Ava gently nudged me off of her and stood from the bench. I looked up at her, puzzled. She stretched out an arm, offering it to me. "Since I didn't get to ask you for a dance yesterday, I'm doing it now. Would you like to share a dance with me, darling?"
I giggled at her antics. "Ava, we're in the middle of the park! People will think we're mad!"
"I don't care about them, only you. Do you care?" she challenged back.
I didn't have to think twice about my answer. "When I'm with you? Never have and never will."
I placed my hand in hers and she brought it up to her lips kissing it before pulling me up to her feet. I crashed into her, laughing and holding onto her to stabilise myself. She chuckled along with me and guided us a few paces away from the bench. She positioned a hand on my hip and the other still clutching mine. Instinctively, I brought one hand to rest on her shoulder.
"There's no music," I stated.
"Looks like we'll just have to make our own."
Ava began humming a random tune and we started spinning around as if we were ballroom dancing. We stepped onto the grassy area as my laughter and Ava's humming increased in volume.
She twirled and dipped me. She placed both her hands on my waist and lifted me, spinning me in circles as I giggled uncontrollably. If anyone was staring, I didn't notice or bother. All I cared about was that I was in Ava's arms and I felt like I was flying.
She set me down and we both just looked at each other, smiling wider than we've seen each other grin before. I pulled her into me to hug her, resting my cheek against hers. Our heavy breathing and racing hearts began to subside. I moved back slightly in her arms to still see her smiling at me.
She looked back at me and seeing her so happy made me ecstatic in return. It made my heart sing to know I'm the reason for her happiness. The way she was looking at me made me feel important. It made me feel as if I was the best thing that's ever happened to her and it was then that I knew that the feeling was mutual.
Her mesmerising eyes gazed into mine and I thought back to last night, right before we kissed. I really wanted to kiss her then and I wanted it again now.
As if she could read my thoughts, she leaned in closer to me. Inches before her lips met mine, she stopped, hesitating if she should close the gap between us. I could feel her heart start pounding in her chest again against mine.
"Kiss me, Ava," I whispered, quietly enough so only she could hear.
She placed a hand behind my neck and tugged me into a kiss. Our lips met and it felt just as spectacular as last night's. I grabbed onto her harder, not wanting to let her go in case she pulls away but by the way she was clutching onto me made it clear she wouldn't dare dream of it.
Kissing Ava felt like the most wonderful thing in the universe. Mason and Noah were great kisser but even they couldn't even begin to compete with Ava. The small fluttering feeling in my tummy whenever I kissed them was nothing compared to the overwhelming sensation I was experiencing right now. Electricity was surging through my body, energising my entire being. It was entirely intoxicating. It was other-worldly.
I've never understood why people referred to their significant others as their weaknesses because right now, kissing Ava, I felt more alive than I ever did. She wasn't my weakness, she was my strength and...
Did I just refer to Ava as my significant other?
Like all good things, it had to come to an end. But it wasn't by choice, though. So enraptured in the kiss, I leaned further forward, causing Ava to lean back until she stumbled backwards and tripped over a rock. She crashed to the ground, taking me with her.
"Oof!"
"Ouch!"
We looked at each other and burst into a fit of laughter.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" I asked her in between giggles.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied in a similar manner.
Ava was flat on her back and I was still on top of her as I buried my face in the crook to muffle my laughter. Ava tossed her head back, still laughing.
After a while, the laughter died down and I lifted myself to look at her once again. We couldn't help it. We started giggling madly, so much so that I let out a snort that only made us more hysterical.
"Oh god, I can't breathe," Ava wheezed.
It took us at least a good three minutes to fully calm down. I rolled off Ava and laid beside her.
"C'mere," she said and pulled me closer.
I rested my head on her shoulder and draped an arm over her torso. She wrapped an arm around me while our legs intertwined. She was staring at the sky as I closed my eyes. It's amazing to think that just the day before yesterday I was worried about choosing between Mason and Noah but now, it's never been clearer that there was only one person for me. And ironically, it was neither of them.
Being here with Ava made me recognise that the reason I couldn't choose between either of them was because my heart already belonged to someone else without me even realising.
We stayed like that for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's  presence when I finally broke the quite.
"It's crazy how so much can change in a day." I said softly. "I admit, ever since day one, I would catch myself looking at you. I thought I was staring at you because that's just what people do when they find beauty in something. I know now that while that's true, there's more to it. And it's because I like you, Ava. I really like you. It might have taken us years for us to get here but I wouldn't have had it any other way."
I felt her hold her breath for a while before slowly exhaling.
I spoke again, "I think I'm gonna call it quits with Noah and Mason."
"Are you sure? That's pretty fast."
"I've never been more sure. I can't help but compare how much better everything feels with you. I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend yet, we don't have to rush it, but why lead them on when I already know you're the best for me. You, Ava Lawrence, are my first choice."
I opened my eyes. I still couldn't see Ava's face but I felt her inhaled deeply before gently, tenderly uttering, "You are my first choice too, Emma Price."
I felt the joy bubbling in me at her words. I smiled and let out a contented sigh.
I gave her a kiss on the cheek and whispered, "My feelings were never complicated, I was just to blind to see them for what they actually were." And it was true.
I couldn't help but think how glad I was that I didn't take on Mackenzie's bet. She was right. It always was and always will be Ava.
She may not have been my first love but she was my soulmate.
(More fics!)

Tumblr media
apparently you sitll can’t do fucking nested bullets in asks now FOR SOME REASONS so we’ve come full circle back to when tumblr wouldn’t let you reblog asks and you had to do shit this way to make things interesting UGH
OKAY SO tagteamed this bitch with @lightsaroundyourvanity​​ because Reasons and also pulled from extensive discussions i’ve had with both @smallandsundry​and @catalyswitch​ so here we go:
the bees with their legendary synchronized teamwork are SURE the first time they all hook up that they’re just going to leave weiss a puddle on the bed
ding dong they are wrong because weiss is Weiss Schnee, who has studied for practically every possible situation she could ever find herself in in her life and that includes sex
sex is a competition and she WILL win and she is READY
halfway through she has to go like make coffee and bring them water to hydrate bc they’re both spent and she has a point to prove
standard cuddle pattern: jetpack weiss > middle spoon blake > little spoon yang
reasoning: blake is terrible at handling the cold but yang is a literal space heater and weiss grew up in atlas and doesn’t get cold until it’s severely below freezing
also reasoning: both yang and weiss are absolutely feral sleepers and move around CONSTANTLY and if either of them is in the middle it goes badly for everyone
blake and weiss are CONSTANTLY competitive about EVERYTHING
who brews the better coffee
who makes the bed more neatly
who can get yang off more and/or faster
blake and yang are both super sappy at each other all the time and also at weiss and weiss is Soft for them always but also she has a reputation to maintain, you know, and she can’t make fun of them for being sappy if she’s also sappy so Suffering Weiss carries on even when she’s in a fully fledged relationship with them
new iteration of suffering weiss is suffering ruby
ruby who is on the team with them
ruby who has to deal with all three of them constantly
ruby who’s like when we’re on a job and have to share a room together can y’all please not have sex
weiss is like No and buys her noise cancelling headphones and an eye mask
blake and weiss throw yang entirely under the bus
“if you want to be mad at any of us be mad at yang, she’s your SISTER”
the only thing more dangerous than blake and weiss being competitive is blake and weiss being in complete agreement about something
it’s a constantly revolving situation of who’s topping whom but patterns emerge:
blake topping anyone?  smooth and suave and snarky
blake getting topped by yang? SLOPPIEST bottom
blake getting topped by weiss? MOUTHIEST bottom
importantly: when she’s getting topped by both of them her competitive nature wins out of the part of her that always just wants to let yang ruin her and she gets twice as mouthy and then winds up not being able to walk properly for two days straight
weiss has to be talked into letting herself be topped bc she’s constantly more interested in getting them off but when she does let one of them top her she hits peak brat level
yang is here for just about anything and is the most happy-go-lucky about sex of all of them but she’s PARTICULARLY interested in when blake and weiss are getting super competitive with each other bc it’s great to witness and then reap the rewards of it
also just like general other headcanons:
yang always wakes up first, weiss wakes up last if she doesn’t have an alarm set except she always has an alarm set because she’s incapable of relaxing
they ostensibly alternate days for who cooks but mostly it winds up being yang because she likes cooking and is the best at it
blake is useless if she’s not cooking over a campfire bc everything she learned about cooking was when she was a kid with the white fang moving around constantly
weiss is technically capable of cookign but doesn’t like it but she DOES sometimes like baking but only if it’s an aggressively complicated recipe
blake is the one least likely to talk about her emotions and weiss and yang had to drag it out of her constantly
weiss is the one who always notices first when blake or yang is working too much or sleeping too little and immediately intervenes but is terrible at letting them do the same for her
yang is super bummed if she winds up at home alone for too long so when any of them accept solo jobs blake and weiss make sure to never take out of town work at the same time
they keep a bedroom for ruby and secretly soundproof it for her
they all have major housekeeping preferences and also gaps:
yang is militant about keeping the bathrooms clean but forgets constantly about making the bed because it doesn’t bother her either way
weiss insists that everything has to be TIDY but also absolutely refuses to take the garbage out like the princess she is so she’ll go through tidying sprees and throw a bunch of old mail and shit out and then will make one of the others take the trash out
blake is meticulous about packing food away bc she spent so much time traveling with the fang and sleeping outside and doesn’t want to leave food out to attract anything but also she’s a total mess and leaves her clothes and shoes EVERYWHERE
ANYWAYS
they’re all disaster people but they’re disasters in complimentary ways to each other and it WORKS
is the main takeaway here

Cute/Romantic Fluffy Chinese Dramas: A Rec Post
I’ve been watching Chinese dramas (and Taiwanese and Korean and Japanese dramas) for fourteen years. Things have been hit or miss for the last five-seven years, which is why I’ve picked up lakorns, telenovelas from Mexico and South American countries, Spanish dramas, Turkish dramas, basically anything from anywhere.But, lately - for the last two months - I’ve really been interested in watching fluffy romantic Chinese dramas. Here are some that I’ve watched and enjoyed lately:
Enteral Love of Dream aka Three Lives Three Worlds, The Pillow Book: 
About: The love story of  Feng Jiu and Dong Hua. A bit different from the first series and a bit different from the novel. (It’s a bit of a mashup.) 
My Thoughts: Once these two start really interacting - as themselves - (around episode 24) things get adorable. Watching Dong Hua, who is a 100,000 year old virgin flirt with Feng Jiu, whose 30,000 is just pure charm. He loves her so much and they have amazing chemistry. 
Length and Were to Watch: 50 episodes. It is on the WeTV website/app. Almost all the scenes of them interacting are on the Tencent Youtube page.
The Romance of Tiger and Rose: 
About: Struggling screenwriter Xiao Qian falls into her own script, where she is trapped as the bratty third princess,  a minor character who was supposed to die in the third episode. Xiao Qian works hard to try and make her script play out the way it is supposed to (and then tries to stop it from playing out) as she falls for  Han Shuo, a prince who was supposed to marry someone else. 
My Thoughts: This drama, y’all. This drama’s couple. I. Love. It. One of my new favorite Chinese dramas. It’s in my top ten. The chemistry between Zhao Lu Shi and Ryan Ding is amazing. The characters of Xiao Qian and Han Shuo are so sweet together and balance one another so well. I almost want a second season. Or for the two leads to work together again. Oh, and VERY little angst. Han Shuo is a one woman man. 
Length and Were to Watch: 24 episodes. On WeTV website/app and Viki.
I’ve Fallen For You:  
About: Female investigator Tian Sanqi mets Sanqi. She is searching for her “older brother” who disappeared. He’s promised to only marry his childhood friend.  The two met and through some misunderstandings, she thinks he’s the brother and the two marry. They end up solving crimes and mysterious, while discovering a conspiracy that is ten years in the making.  
My Thoughts: It is very cute and fluff as you watch it, but fairly forgettable when it’s over. Also has some unneeded angst with the return of Sanqi’s childhood love. It’s a great binge drama, but not the best. 
Length and Were to Watch: 24 episodes. On  iQiyi website/app and Viki. 
The Sweet Girl:
About: Mi Jiuer  lives her life robbing the rich to give to the poor. One day she runs right into Lu Yi Ling who looks exactly like her. Through some mistake, Jiuer poses as Lu Yi Ling's in order to work at the Yun Clothing Workshop. Lu Yi Ling's change in personality don’t go unnoticed by her “boss” -  Luo Yin Ran, who goes from suspecting her to becoming attracted to her. 
My Thoughts: I have a feeling that this drama was edited down, because there are some story lines that don’t feel very complete/have missing scenes. But, Kris Sun and Jin Wen Xin have lovely chemistry as the leads. And it’s cute to watch Yin Ran fall very quickly for Jiuer, who thinks he’s insane. The second-couple, of Yin Ran’s playboy foster brother and Jiuer’s friend are also cute, but they suffer from an underdeveloped story line, either because of edits or just a lack of writing. 
Lengths and Were to Watch: 24 episodes. On  iQiyi website/app and Viki.
Mr. Fox and Miss. Rose:
About:  Gao Zhen He, a young man, who makes his living by exploring high-end gemstones has accidentally dropped off a cliff and finds a place under it where a primitive tribe has located. After the female tribe leader, Xing Yue rescues Gao Zhen He; she wants him to be her man. To obtain the rare gems of the tribe, Gao Zhen He pretends to marry Xing Yue. After obtaining the gems, he flees back to the city, and Xing Yue goes after him to mostly find him and her gems, which leads to a series of stories.
My Thoughts: When the leads are being cute and in love, it’s great. But, the male lead takes way too long to realize he loves the female lead. (episode 20/21) And, he manipulates her a lot in the beginning of their relationship and then he lies to her. It may be to protect her, but it felt wrong. Just. Tell. Her. What. Is. Happening.  Xing Yue ‘s tribe has some problematic aspects.

Please Love Me: 
About: Two different people leading different lives cross paths due to a scheme around a candid camera incident. To deal with the aftermath, popular star Yi Han and manicurist Pei You You who has always dreamed of buying her own house enter into a marriage contract. From strangers who wanted nothing to do with each other, the pretend couple eventually develop real feelings. However, reports of their agreement leak to the public. Furthermore, a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time comes to the surface. Can Yi Han still prove that his heart is true? 
My Thoughts:The ML spends way too much time thinking he’s in love with his agent. Like, why too much time. And there is a clear lack of communication between the two leads.

About:Lu Wei Xun is a genius wine critic who is cold and unapproachable. In his field, he is regarded as a tyrant because of his strict expectations and well-respected for having the perfect sense of taste. For some reason, Lu Wei Xun crosses paths with the upbeat He Bu Zui, a young woman who lost her sense of taste since she was young. 
My Thoughts: The chemistry between the leads is awesome. There is some weirdness with Bu Zui and her first love, that takes up way too much time. And the story line was just not working with the series.

So we watched that new Godzilla VS Kong movie...
Came for the gorilla, stayed for Tarzan
No seriously the lead guy is the same dude who plays the new Tarzan and he is hot
Also the lead lady was from Transcendence and the one girl’s dad was from Early Edition
Spent the whole movie rooting for Kong
Neither one of us have cared for any ‘zilla movie since the ’98 one
Mom: “NOW what’s going on?”
Me: “I don’t know, this is one of those movies you just turn your brain off for and watch the rubber monsters fight”
Be real, not one person tuned into this movie for the people, no one cares, they’re just there to root for the one they’re backing
It’s like Batman VS Superman—it’s nerd bait
Difference being at least you can see the characters in this movie BvS and most DC movies are SO DARK
Also it looks like setup for the next ride at Universal
Maybe it ends up replacing the existing Kong ride there idk
‘Zilla, blasting a hole clean through to the center of the earth: “Ding dong, Avon calling.”
Kong: “You come into my house, you disrespect my aesthetic—”
These two flattening at least two cities: oh yeah sure no one got hurt everyone evacuated GET REAL people died in droves in that flashy fight
Also a giant elevator shaft in Pensacola?  Seriously?
Some of y’all have never been to the southeast and it shows
Florida is 90% marsh, 10% gator, 100% Florida Man
Now see I’d pay good money to see ‘Zilla vs Florida Man someone do that film
Ohmigosh the monkey’s got a knife axe
Kong holding ‘zilla’s mouth shut had me cheering yaas then it backfires on him—
Mom: “And goes out the other end!”
Don’t remember much of the movie for about five minutes after that XD
Movie taking a third option so they don’t end up with angry rabid fans
Yeah I don’t care how fancy a computer is you spill your drink on it that’s all she wrote
And Kong finally got that nice place with a view he always wanted
Realator.com: to each his home *bricked*

Photographic | A Hwang Hyunjin Fic
Word Count: 7898
Type: Smut
Warnings: Not really anything. 
Author’s Note: Why is this so fucking long? OOF. 
This took me a whole-ass month to finish. I hope y’all like this shy Jinnie smut. 
Tumblr media
Ding!
“Damnit!” You cursed as your phone alarm went off, signaling that your model would be here in around 30 minutes — that is, if he wasn’t early. 
Please please please, don’t be the guy who feels the need to show up super early to everything! 
The room was already heated to a warm temperature. The gods had blessed you with an overly prepared studio — complete with a pair of shorts and a thin T-shirt for you to change into because 75 degrees Fahrenheit is just not a good temperature for a photographer to work well in, dressed in a hoodie and heavy ass sweatpants. 
Why in the hell did you decide to dress like a homeless person during the biggest shoot of your life? The world may never know. 
You quickly threw off your heavy clothes and changed into your shorts and T-shirt, frantically rubbing your cucumber scented deodorant under your armpits to hide the fact that you didn’t make it to the shower yesterday. After tossing your clothes into the nearest closet and spritzing yourself with perfume for good measure, you decided you were at least presentable. 
How embarrassing would it be to have your beautiful model turn up his nose at your smell?
Very! 
Unfortunately, you learned that from experience. You couldn’t help but cringe at the memory of that jerk, scrunching up his nose before turning and walking out of the studio claiming that you were nasty. 
Well he had a point. It wasn’t your fault your shower was broken for two weeks. There wasn’t enough perfume and deodorant to cover the fact that you hadn’t showered in ages. 
Now that’s a scenario you’d rather not re-live. 
You ran through the checklist in your head. Earlier that morning, you went to the store and picked up some refreshments. There was a cracker tray with ham and turkey, a water jug in the refreshment area, and you managed to get some fruits and veggies. 
Fuck! You had to plate the fruit and veggies. 
You pulled out a crystal plate — one your mother gave you after you bought your studio — and arranged some grapes, cut celery, carrots, and orange slices in a pretty pattern, hoping it’ll help you look as professional as you’re supposed to be. 
Who knew a super professional photographer wouldn’t have their shit together?
You always wanted your models to feel super comfortable during the shoot, so you always provided a little refreshment area, fully equipped with a luxury looking couch that you found for $100 at a little antique store, water, food, and a soft robe you’d have specially made for them. 
Speaking of which… Where’s Hyunjin’s robe?
You frantically searched around your studio, hoping it would randomly appear in the closet. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. You searched every closet, room, and piece of furniture, only to find it hung in the dressing room — you know… where it was supposed to be. 
Fucking hell you were a mess. 
Ding Dong! 
Your heart started beating a mile a minute when you heard the doorbell. It’s not that you were nervous for the shoot. No you’ve been doing this far too long to be nervous over seeing a naked man. You just felt under-prepared. 
Okay, now’s not the time to panic. We have to take this step by step. First step: let the model into the studio. 
The morning was so hectic, you were hoping you had everything in place for the shoot. The last thing you wanted to do was make the poor boy uneasy before his first nude photoshoot.
You opened the door, smiling when you saw the beautiful man across the threshold. 
“Hello, I’m Hwang Hyunjin.” He bowed to you, a bright smile on his face. “I’m excited to be working with you.” 
You couldn’t help but stare at the boy in wonder. He truly was beautiful — not that you didn’t know that! After all, you did look at his file which included some bare faced headshots. 
You couldn’t help but admire how well he dressed. The boy was clad in black skinny jeans, a red button up shirt, and a leather jacket. He had a green scarf wrapped around his neck, nose pressing into the soft material to protect him from the cold. 
Wait… It definitely isn’t normal to stare at someone while they stand in the snow. He stood awkwardly for a bit before shooting you a dazzling smile, bringing you back to earth in time to realize how weird you were acting. 
“I’m sorry, please come in!” You stepped to the side, gesturing for him to come inside. 
The tall boy stepped into the studio, eyes widening as he scanned the impressive building. He wasn’t used to working with photographers with such big budgets. Hyunjin was still pretty new in the modeling business, so he mainly worked with photographers trying to get their start with photos in public parks and in the streets. His worst experience was modeling for a beginner photographer who forced him to model in the mud for 4 hours without a break. 
Hyunjin cringed as he remembered that shoot. It was one he’d rather not have on his resume. 
“Wow. It’s nice and warm in here.” Hyunjin pulled the scarf down from his nose, slipping his jacket off and hanging it on the coat rack by the door. 
“Yes! It’s nice compared to the freezing cold outside. Let me know if you need the temperature changed at all during the shoot. I want to make sure you’re comfortable.” You smiled at him, gesturing towards a table. “I have a few things I need to go over with you before we start.” 
Hyunjin nodded and sat in a chair at the end of the table. He couldn’t help but wonder what you had planned for this shoot. Sure, he had a vague idea of what he’d be doing, but he wasn’t sure if you planned for a sensual, sexy shoot, or perhaps something else. The only information he got when he applied for the job was that he’d be doing a nude shoot with the best photographer in the city — well… in his opinion. 
“So, from what I recall, you applied for this photoshoot, so you know exactly what the details are, but just in case you are uncomfortable with anything, I’d like to go over the details again.” You slid a packet across the table, showing him a few paragraphs. 
“Basically, I want to project the message that men don’t have to be buff and masculine all the time. I want to show a softer, more vulnerable side of men.” 
Hyunjin nodded, eyes focused on you as you explained the details for him. He couldn’t help but admire you as you spoke so passionately about your work. It was clear photography was the path you were meant to be on. Hyunjin had to admire that — he still wasn’t quite sure if modeling was the career he wanted to stick with. After all… his looks would only last so many years. What happens when he gets older? When his looks fade? Then he’d be nothing. 
Hyunjin mentally kicked himself. He should be listening to you, not focusing on his adult angst. 
You explained the details of the shoot as you mentally devoured the boy in your mind. The way he fiddled with his fingers as his brown eyes shifted to look at the paperwork made your heart pang against your chest. He makes the most simple tasks look so beautiful. 
You couldn’t help but feel extremely attracted to the guy. How could you not? He was young, beautiful, respectful, and he appeared to have a great personality. 
Yep… you were head over heels for the boy and he’s only been in your studio for all of five minutes. 
“I’m going to need you to sign these forms. I know the company gave you some to sign, but I need to protect my own ass. All these are saying is that you consent to being nude and you consent to me taking your pictures. I’m not going to have you sign the release forms until after we take pictures. Then you can decide whether or not you want them released to the public.” You explained. “I’ll give you a few minutes to look the forms over.” 
Wait, he didn’t have to sign the release form? Hyunjin couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He’s only been in this business a couple years, but he’s never heard of photographers skipping the release forms until after the shoot. What would happen if the models refused to sign? Then the whole shoot would be for nothing. 
This was a breath of fresh air, considering the fact that new models usually don’t have a say in anything. 
“Do you have many models refuse to sign the release form?” Hyunjin questioned, eyes skimming the text of the forms in front of him. 
“Believe it or not, I’ve had a couple refuse to sign them. When we get newbies, sometimes they look at the pictures and they feel like they shouldn’t have gone through with a nude shoot, and I don’t know… I just don’t want anyone to feel like they’re roped in to having their naked body circulating around the internet.” You picked up your phone, hoping some random Instagram scrolling would distract you from your nerves. 
Hyunjin pulled a pen out of the pencil cup and signed the forms. “That’s nice of you. Most photographers wouldn’t care that much.” 
“Well consent is key.” You smiled at him. “I know what it’s like to have that taken away so I don’t want anyone to go through that.” 
Hyunjin’s eyes widened at your words. “I’m so sorry.” 
“Oh nothing like that!” You waved your hands in front of you, instantly regretting your choice of words. “No, I had my pictures stolen once.” You laughed nervously. “A partner I was working with took all the credit. It wasn’t that big of a deal.”
“It still must have sucked.” Hyunjin smiled. “Kudos to you for keeping a cool head.” 
“Oh I didn’t at the time.” You chuckled. “I was so upset because I was so new. Those landscape pictures were going to help me make it in the big leagues.” You sighed as you remembered the events that unfolded. “But, I managed to make it big with nude photographs, so I guess it all worked out in the end.” 
Hyunjin smiled and signed the space on the last page before putting the pen back in the cup. “All the forms are signed.” 
“Perfect. Let’s get you over here in the makeup chair, and I’ll do your makeup for the shoot.” You pointed over to a light-up beauty mirror, the countertop filled with makeup products you planned to use on Hyunjin. 
“You do your own makeup?” Hyunjin was a bit surprised. Usually photographers hired makeup artists for the models. 
“When it’s simple stuff I do it myself.” You chuckled as Hyunjin sat in the chair. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to make you look like Pennywise.” 
Hyunjin laughed. “I didn’t think you’d do bad. I’m just surprised.” 
You smiled and started putting some light makeup on Hyunjin. You skipped the foundation, hoping to keep the mole under his right eye visible. Besides, his skin was perfect enough that he didn’t need foundation. Hyunjin’s eyes closed as you applied some natural looking eyeshadow, enhancing his beautiful brown eyes. Last but not least, you applied a lip stain to the inner part of his plump lips, blending it out so his lips looked freshly kissed. 
Hyunjin opened his eyes, smiling at the natural look you put on him. As much as he loved getting fully glammed out for certain photoshoots, he felt more like himself when his skin was left bare.
You stepped back, admiring your work before telling Hyunjin, “I’m ready when you are. I have a robe in the dressing room over there.” You gestured towards the small room. “You can wear that between shots if you’d like, or you can go au natural. I don’t really care. I’ve seen lots of naked people.” 
You couldn’t help but cringe at your choice of words. Yep, that’s definitely what you want to tell a guy you’re into. Tell him you’ve seen a ton of naked people. That’ll help him fall in love with you. 
“Y’know. Because I take pictures of naked people. Not because I’m a slut.” 
Nice cover. 
Hyunjin laughed at your awkwardness and headed to the dressing room, closing the velvet curtain so he could undress in privacy. He couldn’t help but gawk at the dressing room you provided. The room was pretty big, complete with a fancy looking chair, a rack with hangers, and a soft looking robe with his name embroidered into the fabric. 
Hyunjin ran his thumb over the red letters, feeling his heart beat in his chest. He had to admit, he was really nervous for this shoot. Of course he knew that he’d be naked for this photoshoot and he wasn’t exactly insecure about his body, but his admiration for you was making him a bit nervous. 
Truth is — he liked you way too much. Your strong and daring personality sent his heart fluttering in his chest. Being naked in front of you seemed daunting. 
But he had to go through with it. Hyunjin unbuckled his belt, sliding the smooth leather out of his belt buckles before hanging it neatly on the clothes rack. He quickly stepped out of his pants and boxers. Hyunjin pulled his shirt over his head, hanging everything up neatly so nothing would wrinkle, leaving him bare before the mirror. 
He glanced at his body in the mirror, suddenly wondering if you’d think he was good enough. Sure you had the opportunity to look at his face, but his digitals included a shirt. Maybe he wasn’t muscular enough for you? Would you find him sexy the way he was?
Hyunjin shook his head, a light blush coating his cheeks. What does it matter if you find him sexy? This was a WORKING relationship, not a romantic one. It’s not like he’s trying to seduce you at a bar, he’s posing naked for you so you could take photos of him. 
Hyunjin grabbed the robe off the hanger, sliding it over his shoulders before deciding that — no, he probably didn’t need to wear that thing. After all, he’d just be getting naked in front of you. 
But would it be weird to walk out naked? Knock it off! She’s probably seen several naked people who were confident in their naked-ness. He just needed to walk out there, and own his body. Maybe then you’ll find him sexy?
While Hyunjin was undressing, you found yourself in a deep mental argument with yourself. 
Why on earth was this boy making you so nervous? 
Sure he’s beautiful, but you’ve seen lots of beautiful people before. You’ve never been this attracted to the other beautiful people, but oh no… 
No! You can’t do that. You’re about to do a nude photoshoot with the poor thing, you can’t be romantically interested in the beautiful boy. 
It was completely clear that Hyunjin wasn’t 100% comfortable doing this nude photoshoot, so you can’t freak him out even more by telling him he’s the most beautiful human being to walk this earth. He’d probably think you were a freak! 
“Um… I’m done.” Hyunjin’s soft voice shook you out of your thoughts. 
Dear God.
Hyunjin was beautiful with clothes on, but without… UGH.
Hyunjin had such flawless milky skin. You could see little beauty marks down his body, making you want nothing more than to trace your fingers along each and every mark.  He wasn’t super muscular, but he wasn’t a beanpole either. 
Hyunjin was the definition of beautiful. 
“I uh… figured I’d wear this between shots, since we’re starting I didn’t really feel the need to put it on.” Hyunjin’s cheeks flushed a bit, giving away his nerves and sending your emotions into overdrive. 
If you haven’t fallen for the boy already, you certainly have now. 
“That’s fine!” You couldn’t help but stare at Hyunjin’s body, admiring everything from subtle dips in his abdomen to his perfectly rounded shoulders. 
Not only was his skin beautiful, you had an excellent view of… other things. The boy was completely hairless below the neck. He must have gotten waxed or something before the shoot. You couldn’t help but glance down, noticing that his dick was quite an impressive size when it wasn’t erect. Your mind wandered, wondering what it’d look like when it was standing tall. 
Quit staring! You’re freaking out the poor boy. 
You grabbed your camera, hoping the cold metal in your hands would distract you from your growing attraction to Hyunjin. 
“Okay, I’m going to have you lay on the bed.” You pointed to the mattress sitting near a window in your studio. “Lay on your back and bend your left leg at the knee.”
Hyunjin did as you asked, positioning himself on the soft blankets. “Like this?” 
You stood back, admiring the boy’s positioning for a minute. It was a good first try, but you needed him to relax. Hyunjin’s limbs were so stiff, he just looked uncomfortable as he rested upon the blankets. You had to find a way to get him to relax. 
“You look a bit stiff. Try to relax.” You spoke softly, hoping your low voice would calm him a bit. You dimmed the lights so you would achieve a darker set of photos to compliment his milky skin. 
Hyunjin took a deep breath, hoping to calm his body enough to get decent pictures for you. He tried to think about calming things — the sounds of the ocean, his bed at home, your hands running along his body as he rocked into you. 
Wait what? 
Hyunjin’s eyes widened as if it were possible for you to hear what he was thinking. God he needed to get you out of his head, otherwise he could be sporting an erection soon. Think about anything but you… Okay, night walks, K-Dramas, your lips against his.
Fuck. 
Hyunjin was in trouble. 
“Hey, I told you to relax not stiffen up even more.” You giggled.
Hyunjin laughed a bit before his body relaxed slightly. That’ll be good enough for now. You figured he’d loosen up the more you got into the shoot. 
“Perfect. Now bring your right hand to your forehead.” You brought the heel of your hand to the edge of your right brow, showing him how you’d like his hand to be positioned. 
How on earth did you make that look so elegant? For a second, Hyunjin questioned how he was even a model. He put his hand awkwardly on his forehead, wondering how you made that look so effortless and natural. “Like this?” 
“Not quite.” You pursed your lips as you tried to think of a different way to explain it to him. “Bend all of your fingers, except your index finger. That one should be most of the way up.” 
Hyunjin’s brows creased as he tried to comprehend what you were saying. “I’m sorry I don’t understand.” His face reddened with embarrassment. 
“Can I touch you?” Perhaps this would be easier if you could just position the boy. 
Fuck. If you started touching him, who knows what would happen. He was really hoping his dick would behave. Although it made him nervous, Hyunjin nodded anyway. He wanted to help you take good pictures. 
You smiled and placed his hand the way you preferred, making sure to angle his long fingers so they looked more elegant. Once you got his hands in place, you tilted his chin with your index finger, smiling when his bright eyes met yours. 
After checking his position in the camera, you decided that he looked perfect. “Okay, that looks better.” You whispered before positioning your body next to the bed. “Are you ready to start?” 
Hyunjin nodded, looking forward to seeing you at work. 
You snapped various pictures of Hyunjin as he adjusted his position ever-so-slightly to give you his best angles. The boy sure knew how to model. 
Hyunjin still looked a bit stiff though. You figured making small talk might help the boy feel more comfortable in the studio. 
“So, how long have you been in the modeling industry?” You asked, snapping a couple more pictures as his gaze shifted to you. 
“About 2 years now. I started when I turned 18, but I’ve never done anything like this.” Hyunjin’s eyes shifted away from the camera, cheeks flushing slightly. 
That’d be a perfect shot! 
Snap! 
“That’s cool. What made you want to take this job?” You couldn’t help but wonder. He clearly wasn’t comfortable being nude in front of the camera, but he still seemed excited about the shoot. 
“I’ve always admired your work.” He blushed a bit. “When I first got into modeling, I wanted to do a photoshoot with you, but my company told me you only did nude shoots.” 
When he first started, Hyunjin thought he’d never do nude photoshoots, but then he stumbled upon your portfolio. You managed to make the human body look so elegant, so beautiful, without making the photos look like nude selfies you’d send to your long distance girlfriend. 
After witnessing your talent and seeing a job open up, he just had to take it. 
“That’s a lie.” You scoffed. “I don’t just take pictures of naked men.” 
Hyunjin giggled a bit at your outburst. “What do you enjoy taking pictures of?”
You lowered the camera, thinking about it for a bit. “I enjoy taking pictures of people. I think the human body is beautiful. I guess that’s how I got roped into doing nude photoshoots. But it’s not all I do.” 
You paused the conversation, telling him to adjust his position. “Turn and face me.” 
Hyunjin did as you asked, turning his body to the side, brown eyes wondering what you’d have him do next. His hair fell in his face just right, staying out of his face enough to showcase the mole under his right eye, the look of wonder on his face nearly making you swoon.
Fuck he’s beautiful. 
In that very moment, Hyunjin captured exactly what you wanted. His innocent eyes looked soft and gentle. He looked like the ultimate boyfriend material. 
“What do I —” 
“Don’t fucking move or I will end you.” You snapped. 
Hyunjin couldn’t help but laugh, face burying in the blankets as he tried to compose himself. He turned his head to the side with a bright smile and —
SNAP! 
That was the money shot. You wanted that shit framed in your bedroom. Or maybe not your bedroom. That would give you too much masturbation material. 
Speaking of…
Hyunjin’s mere existence was turning you on, his naked body sending your emotions into overdrive as you tried to decipher what exactly you loved about the boy. Hyunjin’s cute little head tilt helped you realize that — wow, everything about Hyunjin turned you on. He was so cute and innocent and soft and that made you want to devour him. 
Perhaps a quick bathroom session would take your mind off him long enough to finish the shoot? Or maybe...
No — you can’t ask the models to fuck you. 
Unfortunately, your sex drive was at an all time high. It’s been a while since you’ve been dicked down. 
You mentally kicked yourself. You are a photographer. Take the damn pictures. 
Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to get a few sexier pictures of Hyunjin. “Ok, I need more intensity in your eyes.” You directed, looking forward to seeing what Hyunjin had to offer. 
The boy closed his eyes, holding them shut for a couple seconds. You were a bit worried you offended him until he opened his eyes and JESUS. The sexy gleam in his eyes made you want to toss the camera on the table, strip down, and fuck him right there.
You snapped a few pictures of Hyunjin, shifting around the bed as his eyes followed the lens. “Go ahead and move your body.” You directed. “I want to see what’s comfortable for you.” 
Hyunjin blushed a bit. He had never done anything like this before, so he wasn’t familiar with typical poses men should do during nude photoshoots. He opted for simple poses, laying on the bed, shooting sensual glances at the lens as you snapped pictures. He adjusted his position a few times, giving you various poses. Hyunjin played with his hands, positioning them across his body so it appeared as though he was feeling himself up. 
Your cheeks flushed as you watched the boy adjust his positioning. Damn he was good at this. “Are you sure you’ve never done this before?” You smirked, snapping another picture. 
Hyunjin chuckled before asking “Is this okay?” 
“It’s more than okay.” You replied, snapping a few more pictures. “These are turning out great.” 
Yes! Hyunjin mentally high-fived himself. You seemed impressed with his work, and he was excited to see what the photos looked like when you were done. 
You snapped a few more excellent shots of Hyunjin before deciding to change the lighting to be a bit more sensual — as if that was going to help your problem. 
You couldn’t help but notice your damp underwear, your arousal becoming more and more difficult to hide the longer you stared at Hyunjin’s body. 
“Why don’t you take a break. I have to switch the lighting a bit.” You gestured towards the refreshments. “Feel free to wear your robe, so you don’t have to flash your goods around me 24/7. There’s also a plate with veggies and grapes and there’s a water jug…” You trailed off, feeling nervous, as if Hyunjin could tell what was going on in your panties. “But you have eyes, so you probably didn’t need me to rant about what’s there.” 
Hyunjin laughed and slipped the robe over his shoulders. “Flash my goods?”
“Yeah. You look good, therefore, your nakedness equals your goods.” Your face flushed. 
Why did you have to shoot your mouth?
Hyunjin chuckled and pulled the robe closed, tying the fabric together with the belt. As comfortable as he felt being nude under your gaze, being covered up was a nice break from having his dick out in front of you. 
Hyunjin headed over to the refreshments, eyes scanning the various fruits and vegetables before he opted to snack on grapes. 
“So.” Hyunjin popped a grape in his mouth, “What got you into photography?”
“I took a photography class in high school and I guess it just stuck. I used to take a ton of pictures of the kids playing sports. I volunteered to take pictures at every school event.” you smiled, unscrewing the bulbs in your lights and setting them on the table. 
“That’s nice.” Hyunjin chuckled. “I wonder what it’s like being on the other end.” 
Hyunjin always wanted to try photography, but he never invested in a camera. Sure he used his phone camera to take selfies, but he’s always wanted to try taking photos of another person. He wanted to capture the human body the way you did. 
“It’s amazing. Do you want to try?” You gestured towards your camera, trying to convince him to test it out. 
Hyunjin waved his hands in front of him. “Oh no! I don’t want to break it.” The last thing he wanted to do was break his favorite photographer’s camera. 
“If you break it, I have 2 others in the cupboard charging.” You chuckled. “Come on, why don’t you give it a shot?” You thrust the camera into Hyunjin’s hands, giggling when he held onto it for dear life. 
“You don’t have to worry so much.” You smiled softly. 
“I don’t want to break it. This must be hundreds of dollars.” His knuckles were white as he clung to the camera, as if loosening his grip would cause the camera to disintegrate in his hands. 
You couldn't help but laugh at the number he threw out. “Try thousands.” 
Yep. That camera with the lens cost you a whopping 7 grand. But the camera took beautiful pictures which made the cost absolutely worth it. 
Hyunjin’s eyes widened even more, if that was possible. He was holding one whole paycheck in his hands. Still… he was holding an incredible piece of equipment and he felt like he had to try it out. 
Hyunjin glanced around, hoping to find a pretty flower to take a picture of, but he couldn’t figure out what to photograph. “What do I take a picture of? The studio?” He chuckled.
You paused what you were doing, turning around to shoot him a smile. “Take a picture of me.” You giggled when he flushed bright red, brown eyes avoiding your gaze as his brain processed what you were saying. 
“I wouldn’t do you justice.” He whispered, just loud enough for you to hear. 
It was your turn to flush red. Was that his way of calling you pretty? That’s kind of sweet. 
“I don’t know how to pose you or anything.” Hyunjin smiled nervously. 
Oh the poor thing. He didn’t realize that you knew how to pose yourself. You were a photographer after all. “Aww. Sweetheart. It’s okay I can take care of that myself.” 
Suddenly an idea popped into your head. If you were going to get laid today, you had to be creative. So why not have Hyunjin take some Boudoir shots of you? It was the perfect chance to seduce him with your curves! 
You reached over your head, pulling your T-shirt off, showing off the lacy bra hidden beneath the thin fabric. Hyunjin’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he watched you unbutton your shorts, pulling the denim down your legs to show the matching pair of panties. 
“What are you doing?” Hyunjin stuttered, cheeks flushing red when his eyes raked over your body. 
“Well.” You paused, wiggling your hips a bit as you stepped out of your shorts. “I figured, it’s only fair for you to take a few Boudoir shots of me, since I’ve seen you naked.” 
Hyunjin’s tongue darted over his lower lip as his eyes ran over the dip of your hips. He longed to hold your hips in his hands while doing unspeakable things to you. But no — now’s not the time to be thinking of such things. He’s got a photoshoot to finish. 
“You don’t have to. I don’t mind taking pictures of you… clothed…” He trailed off. 
“It’s fine. I want to.” You draped yourself sensually over the bed, making sure to point your toes so you looked more elegant. “Now point and shoot.” 
Hyunjin swallowed, before finding a spot beside the bed. How did you get such good pictures of other people? It was obvious that you didn’t just “point and shoot.” You played around with angles. 
Hyunjin moved to the side of the bed, resting beside your head and angling the camera down to the foot of the bed. He captured a beautiful shot of your body — one that captured each and every curve you had to offer. 
You smiled at him and shifted your body to look more innocent, widening your eyes as you looked into the lens. 
Hyunjin snapped a few more pictures, before he noticed the blood rushing straight to his groin. Oh no… He was far too turned on to continue the photoshoot. 
Panic bubbled in Hyunjin’s chest as he tried to think of ways to get rid of the raging boner underneath the robe. Sure, he could try and think of things like basketball or the news, but that wouldn’t get rid of his problem when his eyes were fixed on your breasts like a teenager hyped up on hormones. 
No — he had to jerk this one out. 
Hyunjin sat the camera on the table before attempting to scurry off to the bathroom. 
“Do you want help with that?” Your voice stopped him in his tracks. Truth is, you noticed the raging boner underneath the robe long before he did. 
What? Hyunjin looked down, cheeks turning bright red when he saw that the outline of his dick was very visible underneath the robe. 
“I’m sorry. I’ll excuse myself.” Hyunjin’s voice shook as he turned to leave. 
“Wait.” You called after him. 
Hyunjin turned to look at you, guilt and shame evident in his eyes as he attempted to cover himself. 
“I think it’s hot that you’re turned on my looking at me.” You confessed, stepping closer to the boy. “And if you’re okay with it, I’d love to be with you tonight.” 
You normally wouldn’t have had the courage to say such things to a man, but you had a feeling about this one. You had this feeling that you and Hyunjin could be something special, but first, you’d have to put yourself out there. 
Hyunjin’s cheeks flushed a darker shade of red. It felt like his head was spinning. Your confession made his heart bang against his ribcage so hard, he thought it would burst through. He wondered if you could hear his heart as it echoed in his ears. 
He didn’t know why, but this felt right. “I’d like that too.” He confessed. 
“Can I kiss you?” you asked, hoping he’d say yes. 
“You can do more than kiss me.” His voice switched from being incredibly sweet and innocent, to being deep and sensual.
FUCK. 
Okay — you weren’t expecting that. 
You simply nodded before walking up to him, tentative hands running along his chest before sliding up to wrap around his neck.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” He asked. “We have only known each other for a couple hours.” 
He was right. It felt like you’ve known each other far longer. But it was clear he wanted this as much as you did. 
“I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life.” Your arms tightened around his neck, sighing happily when his hands rested on your hips. 
“Let me know if you want to stop.” 
As if?
You nodded before saying “Fuck me.” 
Hyunjin moved forward, instantly taking control as he closed the distance between you, one hand moving to caress your cheek while the other rested on your hip. His soft lips pressed gently against yours and oh — his lips felt just as good as you imagined they would. 
Your hands slid down his chest, parting the fabric of his robe so you could feel more of his velvety smooth skin against your fingertips. You wanted to feel him pressed against you, so bad that your body naturally rocked closer to his. 
Hyunjin ran his tongue along your bottom lip, humming in approval when you easily parted your lips for him to slip his tongue into your mouth. His tongue ran along yours coaxing a moan from you. 
Your soft moans sent the blood rushing to Hyunjin’s cock, making him want to tear your lingerie off and slide into you. But no — he’d wait to do that. He was going to take his time with you and appreciate every dip and curve your body had to offer. 
Hyunjin’s hands ran along your back before his fingertips danced around the clasp of your bra. He parted from your lips, pressing soft kisses down your jawline as his fingers unclipped the garment. The flimsy fabric fell off your body easily, making you moan as Hyunjin tossed your bra in a random direction. 
“Since I’ve been naked this whole time, I think it’s fair that you undress first.” Hyunjin’s velvety voice mixed with the playful gleam in his eye sent a wave of arousal through you, panties becoming wetter the more your eyes rested upon his heated gaze. 
“I won’t complain as long as you hurry up when I’m done.�� You giggled as you slowly pulled your underwear down your legs, smiling when Hyunjin’s tongue ran along his lower lip, biting the soft flesh gently.
He was eye-fucking you, and that was exactly where you wanted him. 
Hyunjin closed his eyes, leaning his head back for a second before turning his gaze to your naked body. “Can I touch you?” He asked softly.  
That’s funny. As if he hadn’t been touching you this whole time. 
“Of course.” You smiled, bending your index finger in a ‘come hither’ motion. 
Hyunjin closed the distance between you two, instantly falling to his knees before pulling your left knee over his shoulder. He pulled your body closer to his, the need to taste you on his tongue taking over his senses. 
“Let me…” He trailed off as he panted, hot breath ghosting over your thigh. “I want to make you feel good.” 
Wow. It’s not every day your dream boy practically begs to eat you out. How could you say no to that?
You nodded and shifted your body so you were closer to his face, giving him an excellent view of your soaked folds. 
Hyunjin couldn’t help but lick his lips as he stared upon your glistening core. He wanted to know what you tasted like, but first… he wanted to have some fun with you. 
Hyunjin’s lips pressed feathery kisses along your thighs, tongue darting out every now and again to taste your skin. He noticed the way your hips shifted closer to his face when he sucked a spot on your thigh, turning the skin purple before he moved on to dance around where you wanted him to touch most. 
“Hyunjin please.” you moaned, shifting your hips closer to his face once more. 
And like that, his tongue was buried in your folds, instantly making your knees go weak. You moaned loudly, fighting to stay standing as the boy slurped loudly, moaning at the taste of you on his tongue. 
Your hands darted to his ebony locks, fingers tightening in his hair when he sucked your clit between his teeth, nibbling on the bud gently. The overwhelming pleasure would have sent you falling to the ground if it weren’t for Hyunjin’s hands keeping you steady. 
“Fuck Hyunjin.” You moaned. “It’s so good.” One of your hands shifted to caress his cheek. “You’re so good.” You cried out as his eyes met yours, tongue rolling around your clit once more.
“I’m gonna cum.” You moaned loudly, legs shaking as standing became too difficult for you to do. 
Hyunjin separated from your core with a pop. He quickly thrust your other knee over his shoulder, hands supporting your back as he lowered you onto the hardwood floor. 
You gasped — partially because of the cold floor against your heated skin, partially because Hyunjin dove back into your folds, enclosing his lips around your clit and sucking harshly. It didn’t take long for Hyunjin to make you cum, the constant attention to your clit giving you the biggest orgasm you’ve had in your life. Your toes curled, back arching off the cold wooden floor as you hit your high, the overwhelming pleasure making your thighs shake around his head. 
Your chest rose and fell with each breath as you panted on the ground. Your brows creased when you saw the robe still covering his perfect body. “I believe I told you to take that off.” 
Hyunjin laughed, a bright smile taking over his features. “So bossy.” He slid the robe off his shoulders leaving his body bare to your eyes. 
He looked just as beautiful as before, but even more so with a hard cock. Your mouth watered at the sight. You wanted — no needed — to have him in your mouth. You crawled over to him, gently taking his cock into your hands, pulling the foreskin as you pumped his length a couple times. 
Hyunjin threw his head back, moaning at the much-needed friction. Although he was enjoying the feeling of you jacking him off, he really wanted to be inside you. “Please.” Hyunjin moaned, “I want to be inside you.” 
“And you will be. But right now I want to suck your dick.” You silenced him by taking his cock as far down your throat as you could, tucking your thumb under your fingers to suppress your gag reflex. 
The boy let out a loud, strangled moan as you sucked more of his length down your throat, nose almost pressing into his pubic bone. Damn that was hot. He’s never had a girl take him that far before. The feeling of your throat closing around him nearly made him cum instantly. 
You were convinced there was nothing hotter than hearing Hyunjin’s moans while you deepthroat his cock. His quiet gasps and soft “oh my god” made you want to suck him dry. You pulled back, jerking him off a bit before sucking the tip back into your mouth. 
Hyunjin bit his lip, a loud moan echoing through the room as you ran your tongue along the underside, tracing each vein with every pass of your tongue. 
“Please.” He moaned. “Please let me.” 
You pulled away, having way too much fun teasing the poor boy. “Let you what?” Your hand pumped him a couple more times making his body twitch. 
“Let me fuck you.” He moaned at your touch. “I want to be inside you.” 
“Why?” You questioned. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say you think I’m bad at sucking dick.” 
“That’s not it at all.” He quickly reassured you. “I just really want to be inside you.” He paused. “Please.” 
You couldn’t help but giggle at his neediness. “Ok, but let’s go to the bed so we aren’t fucking on the floor like animals.” 
Hyunjin laughed and lifted you up so you could wrap your legs around his waist, lips quickly connecting with yours as he walked the two of you over to the bed in the studio. 
You broke the kiss mumbling a quick, “fuck that was hot,” before connecting your lips once more. 
At that very moment, Hyunjin couldn’t help himself. He quickly slid into you, a low groan rumbling in his chest as your walls tightened around him. “You feel so good.” His head nuzzled into your neck, the intimate position making your heart flutter as you wrapped your legs around his waist.
Hyunjin set a slow pace, lips pressing against yours softly so he could make the moment last. You looked into his eyes at the same time he looked into yours and — oh this was starting to look like one of those romance movies. The way his hips rocked against yours, the way one of his hands caressed your cheek — you were positive that you were in love with him. 
How could you be in love with a man you just met?
You couldn’t seem to find the answer as Hyunjin rocked his hips faster, dragging his lower body against yours so he would rub against your clit. You couldn’t help the moans escaping your lips, his name at the tip of your tongue as if your mind was purely filled with Hyunjin. 
That wasn’t far from the truth. You waited so long to have him inside you and here you are, body pressed against his, tongue sliding against his as he thrusted deeper, pushing you closer and closer to the edge. 
“I’m close.” you moaned, hands wrapping around his lower back. 
“Me too.” Hyunjin grunted, eyes squeezing shut as he moved faster, hips stuttering as he tried to bring you closer to your high. He tried so hard to hold out — to get you to cum with him, but he couldn’t chance releasing inside you without knowing whether or not you were on the pill. 
Hyunjin quickly pulled out, deep moans escaping his lips as he stroked himself through his orgasm. He came on your stomach, exhaustion hitting him almost immediately as he came down from his high. 
You hummed in approval, stroking his thigh as he basked in the afterglow, though you were a bit disappointed in your now-fading orgasm. Oh well, at least you got to cum with his amazing tongue. 
Hyunjin noticed your fading orgasm, and he was quick to act, adjusting his position so he could devour your folds. His fingers drove into your core, curling upward so he would hit your g-spot with each thrust. The surprising pleasure almost immediately made you cum, hands fisting the sheets, looking for something to help bring you down to earth. 
One last suck and you were gone, crying out his name and a string of curse words as you came for the second time that night. 
Hyunjin licked his lips as he sat up, admiring your still-panting frame. God you looked beautiful like this — eyes drifting shut as exhaustion hit you, chest rising and falling with each breath, his cum coating your stomach — you looked divine. 
Speaking of cum…
Hyunjin stood up and walked over to the refreshment area, grabbing a handful of paper towels before heading back to the bed. He wiped the cum off your stomach, giggling when you twitched at his touch. 
“You didn’t have to do that.” You panted, curling up under the blankets. 
“Of course I did.” Hyunjin smiled. He never wanted to leave a girl hanging. Especially you. 
“Are you going to stay the night?” You asked, hoping he’d say yes. 
Although you wanted to fuck the boy, you also wanted the soft cuddle time that you assumed would come after. You wanted to hold him close until you both drifted off to sleep. You wanted to take him to breakfast in the morning and go on dates and kiss him daily and — oh shit… you wanted a relationship with him. 
Your heart dropped as you waited for an answer. You shouldn’t have done this. Now you’re overly attached to the boy and you’ll have to deal with the rejection that comes after, what was supposed to be, a one-night stand. 
“That depends.” Hyunjin answered, pausing a second as he pretended to think it through. 
Of course he was planning to stay the night. He just had the best sex he’s ever had in his life. He wasn’t planning on letting you go. “Will you still love me in the morning?”
“Who said I love you now?” You flushed, smacking his arm lightly. 
“Alright then I’ll go.” Hyunjin sat up and swung his feet off the edge of the bed, rubbing his tired eyes. Perhaps this really was just a fling to you?
You panicked, seeing your potential relationship being washed down the drain at your own stupidity. “No please don’t go.” You embraced him from behind. “I will. I want to get to know you better. I want to take you out and kiss you every morning and do couple shit. Just don’t leave me.” You tightened your arms around his torso. “I promise I’ll love you in the morning. As long as you’ll still love me?”
You instantly regretted your words as Hyunjin’s body went stiff. Maybe he was kidding? Perhaps it was a figure of speech? Maybe he didn’t feel the same. 
“Nevermind.” You laid back in bed, turning your back to the boy as you tried to stop the frantic beating of your heart and the painful fear of rejection in your head. 
You felt Hyunjin’s arms wrap around you before feeling him pull your body flush against his. 
“Of course I’ll love you in the morning.”
