You’re awoken by the soft snores of the man next to you. And it’s less the sound of the snoring, but more the tiny puffs of air that escape his mouth and skate across that sensitive area of your neck. 
His arms encircle you from behind and his warmth enfolds you like a blanket. If you weren’t sure that last night happened, what’s poking at your hip would surely remind you of a few moments. And oh, what solid images there were. 
As you turn around in his arms, he shifts a bit in his sleep but doesn’t fully wake. His arms manage to tighten around you, and you didn’t think that was possible given how close you were. Not that you’re complaining. Far from it. You couldn’t be happier. 
This man could literally squeeze you like a stuffed animal, and you would thank him for it. You decide to throw a leg over him and soak up his intimate embrace. Laying against his chest, you tangle your hand in his chest hair for good measure. 
A low rumble in his chest and his arms tightening ever so gently signaled to you that he was awake finally. When he mumbles something close to ‘Good Morning’, you are surprised to hear that his voice could get any deeper than it already was normally. 
He leans down to kiss the top of your head and you try and hide the smile it gives you, but he sees it anyway and kisses your forehead this time. His lips linger there for a second and soon you hear him chuckle. 
“What’s so funny?” You stop yourself from listening to your anxious mind telling you that he is somehow laughing at you. 
He leans back and looks into your eyes. “I thought I was dreaming that you had stayed. I don’t normally sleep well. You might be my lucky charm. I feel rested.” 
“Good. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t get any sleep. But I liked being held all night. I could get used to that if I’m not careful.” You look down and away from Walter’s gaze, piercing right through you. 
“I understand your apprehension about all this, but may I suggest something that I promise to listen to myself?” Walter puts a hand over yours and you look up at him. 
“Sounds ominous but continue.”  
“Let it happen. Whatever this is, just let it happen. And we can worry about our vulnerability later, deal?” His thumb strokes the back of your hand, and you feel safe in his arms. 
In a single breath, you push down about a thousand negative thoughts before even listening to them and simply say, “Deal.” 
Walter moves to put you on your back, leaning over to cage you between his arms. You allow him to kneel between your legs, wrapping them around his waist and pulling him into you. He never takes his eyes off you as he reaches one hand down to line himself up with your opening. 
As he pushes in, he lowers his forehead to yours and groans, lightly pecking your lips. Once the soreness from the night before subsides, all you can feel is the perfection of Walter inside you as he pulls out and slams back in. He swallows your whimpers as his kiss becomes hungrier. 
Turning your head to keep up with his kiss, you slide one hand into his curls, and the other glides down to grab a handful of that plump ass of his to encourage his movements. He seems to relish your coaxing if his grunting is anything to go by.  
Soon, the sounds of your flesh meeting from Walter's powerful thrusting fill the room. One of his giant paws comes to rest on your hip, the grip sure to leave bruises in the morning. You are at his mercy and his cock pounds into your cunt at the perfect speed to get you off. 
You get a thrill out of how your orgasm comes down on you like a bolt out of the blue. Your walls squeeze around his dick and your grasp on reality starts to shift as stars appear behind your eyelids. Throwing your head back, you let out a series of wails that your body has never made before.  
With your neck exposed, Walter latches onto it with his mouth. He nips, bites, and sucks until his resolve also falters and he reaches his peak. As his hips go still against yours, you can feel every twitch of his shaft as he empties inside you. Sinking to collapse on you, his arms cocoon you and as your chests connect, the dizzying tempo of his heartbeat can be felt. 
You lay in silence for a while, tangling your fingers in Walter’s sweat-slicked curls. It's only the sound of your stomach growling that breaks you both out of your shared lull. His grumbling chuckle follows, and he unwinds himself from around you, finally sliding out of your tight heat. He doesn’t miss your whimpers; he just chooses to ignore them as he pulls you up and into the bathroom for a quick shower. 
After some time spent under the hot spray, mostly spent with stolen kisses and forgetting to get clean, you both dress in some comfy clothes. Walter gives you a pair of his boxers, sweatpants, a T-shirt, and a hoodie that still smells like him. You catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and you smile thinking you look like a perfectly comfy girlfriend.  
Walter just watches you and smirks before laying a kiss atop your head and suggesting you two eat something. You follow him out to the kitchen and are swiftly turned around and told to go sit while he cooks for you. 
Yeah, you could get used to this. 
Tumblr media
Once breakfast is over, you rise from the table to take the plates into the kitchen with the intent to wash dishes to repay him for a lovely meal. Instead, Walter empties your hands and gives you a stern look. 
“Come on, let me help with something?” You whine, not at all being coy about it. 
“No. You don’t have to repay me for feeding you. Just let me pamper you. Act as though you deserve to be taken care of, please? Because you do deserve it. Now, go sit down on the couch, and don’t make me ask twice.” If it wasn’t for the wink he sent your way, you would have melted.  
You try to reply but the sound out of your throat is a mix between a moan and a whimper. It shocks you and makes Walter smile. You open your mouth again to speak but think better of it and just go sit down. 
Walter joins you on the couch, sitting close enough that his warmth spreads over you like a blanket. He turns to face you and you do the same.  
“So, I—” 
“Are we—” 
You both go to speak at the same time and then share a bit of nervous laughter. 
“You go first.” Walter urged, his hand running through his hair before settling on the back of the couch. 
“Um, so, you know I’m no good at this. That’s why we work so well, I guess,” You pause to get your words together while gathering a bit of courage, “I just...feel like I should be completely honest with you.” 
Walter tilts his head and furrows his brow, nodding for you to continue. 
“I like this,” You admit, gesturing between the two of you, “I like spending time with you. That being said, I would be upset if you invited another woman here and cooked for her and fucked her instead of me. I know it’s soon, but I want you to know how I feel.” 
Seconds pass like hours before Walter takes your hand in his. 
“I like this, too. I like cooking for you and spending time with you. I’m sure you can tell I like fucking you. But just so you’re sure, I’m saying out loud that I like it.” He finishes, smiling at you and raising your hand to his lips. 
The giggle that escapes your lips gives no warning and it startles you before you give in and let it float on. 
“So...I have a question. And it may seem rude, but I don’t mean it that way, I promise.” You start, trapping your bottom lip between your teeth in apprehension. 
Walter uses one thumb to free your lip from its confines before speaking. “Duly noted. Ask away.” 
“Why are you always so grumpy? I mean, you’re such a different person outside of work. You are fun to be around, and I did not expect that." You playfully poke his chest and are rewarded with a genuine grin on his face. 
“Well, firstly, thank you for the compliment. Secondly, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but I’m not a big talker usually. When I wear my grumpy pants, fewer people come up to me. Less talking. Although now that I think about it, I enjoy talking to you. I think because we both struggle a bit with conversation, we don’t press each other. We just, sort of, work well together. I like that.” While he talks, his hands play with yours. You’re not sure if that is a nervous thing or if he just likes the way your hands feel in his. 
You both seem to take pleasure in idle touching, so why question it? 
“That makes a lot of sense. It’s easier for men to be grumpy as their resting mood. The number of times I get told to smile or ‘cheer up’ daily could fill a swimming pool. So instead, I have this fake enthusiasm with a matching artificial coy expression to go with it. It can be so tiring, and not to mention it makes my face hurt at times. It fucking pains me to be so falsely sweet all the time. But that’s the joy of the feminine mystique, I guess.” You sigh, letting out the breath you didn’t realize you were holding. 
“Wow. How long have you been holding that in, girl? I think a bit of steam came out of your ears just then.” He smiles and throws a wink your way and you can’t help but smile back at him. 
“Well, since I’m on a roll with this stuff, I’ll just keep going. You’re the first person I’ve had sex in about a year. Just, bad breakup...and all that kind of killed my appetite for close human contact.” You babble, your hand going to the back of your neck. 
“I’m sorry to hear that. If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you. And I also hope last night and this morning were to your...liking? That’s weird to say. But it’s already out. Sorry.” His adorable rambling ends and the tips of his ears are pink to match the blush across his cheeks and nose. 
“Oh, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Trust me. But my anxiety is going a mile a minute, trying to convince me that good things don’t happen to me. And I’m fighting it really hard. But you are starting to seem a bit too good to be true.” Your breathing picks up a little, but you control it quickly. 
“I can start listing off all my bad habits?” He sits forward and begins to count his fingers, “I snore. I hog all the blankets. I leave the cap off the toothpaste. I spend too long in the shower,” He pauses when you climb into his lap, “I can keep going.” 
“I bet you could. But let’s save a bit for me to discover later. Keep the rest a mystery, detective.” You wrap your arms around his neck, and he smiles up at you. 
“So, you still want to stick around, huh?” 
“I mean, our arms fit so well wrapped around each other. Also, you smell nice,” You lean in to sniff at his neck that still smells of woodsy soap, “And I'd be lying if I said I didn’t want to see where this goes.” 
“I’d like to see where this goes as well. In fact, I have a feeling this is going back into the bedroom any minute.” He rises from the couch, taking you with him as you wrap your legs around his waist.  
He walks you to the bedroom, kissing your neck along the way. He kicks the door shut before laying you down once again in his bed. You both take your time with each other, not caring about when things happen or if they happen. You get lost and find each other over and over.  
While you catch your breath, you are curled up in each other’s embrace. Your hand is tangled in his chest hair while his hand draws shapes on your shoulder. Companionable silence lies between the two of you, like a quilt connecting you.  
And it’s moments like these that you both find that you enjoy. The quiet moments where nothing needs to be said. There are no perfect words. While it felt touch and go for a while, sometimes all that is needed is the positive outlook that uncertainty can be a good thing.

Orgasm Desperation - Walter Marshall
@femjaskierinreallife​ This one is yours bby
Tumblr media
He shoves you into the nearest wall.
"You have teased me enough." He growls. "I don't think so." You cooe. He makes a frustrated little noise.
Then he kisses you again. His lips are fierce upon yours and his fingers tangle in your hair. He holds you up with one hand under you ass. He is so strong that it makes you sort of tingly. You hook your legs around his hips. Walter groans and grinds against you. You feel how hard he is in his jeans. You adore how easy it is to rile him up.
Though he is far from riled up enough.
You break the kiss to leans down and nip at his throat. Walter groans darkly. "Fuck, I want you so bad." He growls. "Then take me." You purr. You kiss at his throat and bite down on his adam's apple. Walter swears loudly under his breath.
He carries you to the bed. You cling happily to him. You know he will be bad to you in the best possible way.
Walt rather unceremoniously drops you.
He undresses in a slightly hurry. You are happy to watch him. He is so incredibly handsome. "You too." Walter orders, while unbuckling his belt. "No, you're going to undress me." You reply. Walter glowers at you. You are being entirely to bold for his taste.
"Very well, then I will just fuck you with your clothes on." He shrugs. "Seeing is believing babe." You purr. "Gods, you need to be put in your place." Walter grunts. "I'd like to see you try." You tease. You are not going to let him win today. Today, you are in charge.
You beckon him over.
Walter climbs on top of you. You gather his jumper in your fists and topple him over. Walter makes a surprised noise. You smirk down on him, straddling his pelvis. "You are all mine." You purr. "All yours." Walter agrees.
You lean in for a slow, sensual kiss. Walter tries to deepen the kiss, but you are not letting him have it. You want to take it slow. You want to push to Walter's limits. Walt bites at your lip. It makes you moan lustfully. "I love that noise, babe." Walter growls. The tone of his voice makes you shudder. It is so sexy.
After kissing him for a good couple of minutes, you back up a little to rake your fingers through his chest hair. It is so delightfully bushy. Walter growls lustily. You lean in to inhale the scent that lives there. "Oh gods." You whisper. Walter places his hand on your neck. He gives a firm squeeze. He's doing his best to apply his dominance. You moan at the thrill of it.
To pay him back, you give one of his nipples a playful bite. "Oi!" Walter pulls you away from his chest. You giggle wildly. "Don't you like that?" You cooe. "Don't tease." Walter replies. "Oh you are no fun." You faux pout. "I know." Walter answers huskily. "I will absolutely tease you." You giggle. "Will you now?" Walter huffs. You smirk and nod in reply. "I'd like to see you try, genuinely." He says.
"Challenge accepted." You purr.
You get up from him and go over to the wardrobe. You search his sock drawer for that one stray tie he already forgot he has. Walt props himself up on his elbows to see what you are doing. He is also blatantly looking at your ass. “What are you looking for?” He asks. “You just wait.” You cooe.
You find the tie and retrieve it to him. “Oh you are planning something.” Walt murmurs. You smirk and nod. “Will I let you?” He asks. “You better.” You stick out your tongue. “I am not sure if I want to.” Walt says, his voice a husky purr. You pout a little. "Don't be like this." You say. "Like what?" Walter murmurs. 
You straddle his pelvis. "Stick out your hands." You tell him. Walter sits upright. He gives you a calculating look. But then he obliges. He holds out his hands, wrists facing and pressed together. He is not stupid, he know what you want. 
"So good for me." You whisper with a smirk. Something in Walt's face tightens. He is not very used to being the submitting party. But he is not uncomfortable with it. Though he does have to shift his mindspace, which takes him a good moment. "What is your plan?" He asks softly. You smirk and roll your hips into his. Walter groans. 
You tie his wrists together and then you topple him over, tying his hands to the headboard. Walter squirms a little. He could easily break free, you know that. But he stays put now. He is curious what you will do. You roll your pelvis again. Walt bucks up at you."You are so hard already." You purr. "Small surprise, with you grinding on my cock like that." Walt replies. You smile proudly down on him. Walt can't help a faint chuckle.
"I would like to fuck you now." He says. But you shake your head. “Not yet.” You cooe. “Then at least undress for me.” He tries for a pleading tone. But he doesn’t quite sell it.  “Beg me for it and I just might.” You purr, leaning into kiss at his neck and then his throat. Walt groans and trashes below you. You know you have him in the bag now. 
You suck a dark hickey on his throat. Walt swears and arches into you. His hips grind up at your clothed core beyond his control. He needs to be inside you so badly.  But of course you are not going to let up. Instead you only grind down on him. Walter bucks up firmly. He groans and pulls at the tie that holds his wrists. He does not manage to get it undone, since you are very good at tying knots. “Stop squirming.” You growl against his skin. “Fuck... just... let me fuck you.” Walt hisses. You giggle wickedly. Of course you won’t give in so easily. 
“I want you to beg, Walter.” You cooe. “Oh fuck... fuck. The moment you untie..” He growls. You love how he does his very best to keep dominance. But you know he will keep his word. “Then I had best keep you tied up until I tired you out.” You cooe. Walter swears under his breath.You smirk down on him. You love getting him all worked up like this. 
Sometimes you do it just to have him show you who is boss.
But not tonight. Tonight you want him desperate. It is his turn to beg. You know this is hard for Walter, but you are not going to give up. You want to see him all desperate and needy. Because it is not like he doesn’t turn you into a desperate needy mess on a weekly basis. It is time for your revenge. “Undress for me.” Walter rasps. “Ask nicely.” You tell him firmly. Walter heaves a soft groaning sigh.  “Please take off your clothes, baby.” He murmurs, looking up at you with his best pleading look. For a moment you hesitate. But then you oblige, getting off of him and taking off your clothes. Walt watches you with rapt attention, all his muscles standing taut.  “You are so beautiful.” He rasps. His finger twitch. He wants to touch you so bad. But of course he can’t. “Thank you, baby.” You cooe. You lick your lips. Walter eyes your mouth, yearning evident in his eyes. 
You lean over him, your breasts in his face. Walt arches up, catching one of your nipples in his mouth. You moan sweetly and he begins to suck. His tongue flicks against your nipple and he tugs on it with his teeth. “Oh god, Walter.” You moan, raking your fingers through his hair. Walt groans huskily. He switched over to your other breast, but only after thoroughly mistreating the first one. You are moaning and quivering against him.
You start grinding down on him again. Walt groans with every time you bear down on him. He is so fucking hard. You feel it through his jeans.  You have half a mind to put him out of his misery. But he is far from desperate enough. There is more to be done.
You scoot backwards to open his trousers and draw them down his thighs. Those thick, amazing thighs. You can’t help but grab yourself a handful of the glorious muscular flesh of him. Walt grunts loudly. You smirk and massage his thighs. This seems to calm him down, though only a little. You can’t have that. So you move your hand to his cock.  Sharply, Walter inhales. You lick your lips at the reaction.  You give him a few slow jerks. Walter bucks up into your hand. “Fuck.” He growls. “You like that?” You tease. “You know I do.” Walt grunts. “Yes I do.” You cooe.
You unhand him, though and stand up to undress. Walt arches to keep looking at you.  “You are so fucking beautiful.” He growls. “You are too.” You purr.
You straddle his cock and grind down firmly. “FUCK!” Walt growls loudly. You coat his length in his slick, rolling your hips expertly. Walt tugs at the tie, wriggling it open and tossing it aside.  He grabs you by the hips and all but thrusts his pelvis up at yours. “Enough playing. Take me inside you.” His voice is a growling demand. You smirk down on him, loving how well you have played him. “Make me.” You cooe.
Walt topples you over and then thrusts into you, driving himself fully home in one expert plunge. You don’t have a chance to squal in surprise. All you can do is moan below him. He sets a grueling pace right away. You cling to his shoulders. It is all you can do now.You can only moan and cling to him. It is so good it renders you utterly incapable of doing anything else.  “God... fuck.” Walter snarls. “I’ll fucking teach you, being a fucking tease.” He growls. He leans in for a kiss, but his teeth clatter against yours. You whimper softly. You love it when he gets like this. It is the whole reason you tease him so much.  “Oh, yes! Walter!” You cry out. Walt growls darkly, nipping at your neck and throat. He leaves wicked little marks all over your skin. You’ll look a right mess come morning. 
His thrusts are merciless and quickly become spasmic. He is nearing his peak.
“Do it, fill me up. Give it to me.” You whisper hotly, nipping at his jaw. “Hold onto something, baby.” Walter growls. And you know you are in for it now. “Yes, sir.” You demure. You curl your fingers around the metal rings attached to the headboard. “Good girl.” He hisses. “Thank you sir.” You cooe.
And then, Walter fucks you within an inch of your life. His curls are damp with sweat and he is grunting like a wild boar. You can only moan and hold on for dear life.  Too soon to your taste, Walter’s thrusts become unsteady. His climax is near. You don’t want this to be over yet. You want to cum, too.  “P-pl-please make me cum, sir.” You whisper, nosing at his beard. “Do you deserve that?” Walt growls. “Yes, yes sir. Please please, I want to cum so badly.” You whine. 
Walter pretends to ponder it. 
“If you beg, I might.” He murmurs. You whine and squirm below him. “Don’t be so mean.” You pout. “I am not mean.” Walter purrs. “I am simply giving you what you deserve.”  His fingers trail up your thigh, to your clit. You whimper loudly. “Please!” You whine. “I want you to earn it.” Walt growls. “How?” You whimper. “Figure it our.” Walter smirks, leaning in to kiss you. You moan against his lips. Walt groans into your mouth, sucking on your lip while rubbing firmly at your clit. You feel the urge to moan out loud, but Walt does not let you break the kiss. 
Your climax rapidly approaches. Your inner walls start to clamp down on Walter’s glorious cock. “Don’t you dare cum until I say you can.” Walter growls. You whimper loudly. “I ... I don’t know if I ca-can hold back.” You stammer. You can barely manage to be coherent. It is just too good. “You will have to.” Walt replies, rather matter of factly. You whine and squirm. “I can’t stop it anymore.” You whimper. And Walt most certainly does not stop fucking you.  You claw at his back, it is all you can do. “Please, please, please.” You chant. “Please what?” Walter growls. You squirm and try to string a thought together. It is too much, it is too good. And Walter most certainly is not stopping. 
You need to cum. 
But you know better than to disobey. You want to cum so badly.
Walter angles his thrusts into your g-spot. “Not yet!” He barks. He is chasing his own high and he is not going to let you cum until he is on the very brink. “M-more... Plea-please... I need to... I need to cu-cum.” You cry out. “So do I, wait your turn.” Walt growls.  “Ye-yes sir.” You whimper. “Good fucking girl.” Walter groans. 
He chases his high, maintaining eye contact the entire time. You whimper and whine and do your best to hold on to your senses. It is so hard, because it is so good! “Wa-walter.” You moan. “Not yet.” Walt growls. His hair is damp with sweat and his muscles are taut with how much he needs to cum. He is aching for release as much as you are. But he is not quite there yet. And you have been there for a while now. 
He ploughs you like an absolute beast and then he leans in to whisper in your ear. “Milk me.” He growls.  You know this is the go ahead for you to cum. “Y-yes sir.” You whimper.
Your body obeys. It is not even a conscious thing. You just surrender to the lightning in your spine. Your inner walls contract on Walter’s cock and you moan sweetly for him. “Good girl. Such a good kitten for me.” Walt rasps. You want to thank him, but your voice won’t come. You can only moan. Your mind is blank and completely filled up with pleasure.  You can only focus on your climax and his cock inside you.  “Good kitten.” Walter strokes some hair from your forehead and kisses you until you are both breathless. 
“I am going to fill you now.” He growls. “Y-yes...” You rasp. You shudder with anticipation. Walter stills and his pelvis spasms against yours. You whimper and squirm below him, basking in the feeling os his cum coating your inner walls. “Thank you, sir.” You whisper breathlessly. 
“I fucking needed that.” Walt growls, leaning into kiss you until your lungs burn.

“Who are you?” Walter pushed out between ruptured lips, his lungs barely holding enough air to breathe as his likely broken ribs screamed.   
The young woman with stringy, dirty hair just silently shook her head at him, laying a finger to her lips as she continued dabbing at the cut over Walter’s  eyebrow.  Walter peered at her through the eye that could still open, wondering who she was, what she had to do with the man who had orchestrated his kidnapping, and why she was giving him tender first aid in what he assumed was a warehouse.  Was she a prisoner or somehow part of this trafficking ring Walter had been trying to bust for almost a year? She didn’t seem to be a willing participant in any of this.   
She smiled softly as she looked through her bag at her hip, selecting something else to help stop the blood and clean him up.   Pulling out a small tube, she placed a dab of ointment on her finger.  Getting to her feet, she leaned forward, her face looking up at him where he hung from the ceiling.  He felt her breath on his bruised cheek as she delicately daubed the ointment over the split on his lower lip.  
“Thank you,” he tried softly, his brow puckering at the pain.  
Her smile was brief as suddenly there was the return of foot falls, at least three men, headed back in their direction.  Stuffing her bag again quickly, she squeezed his calf before dashing off into the silent shadows just before the men rounded the corner, the biggest brute of them smiling wide at Walter before flexing his fists.

Come Home to Me 
Summary: A weekend with Walter, Fiona and Faye as their little family grows closer. 
Pairing: Marshall and OFC Fiona
Word count: 6,802
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mentions of a panic attack
I wasn’t sure what had happened. The day had started out fine. Walter and I had gotten to see each other for a little bit before we both left for work, which wasn’t always the case. We had coffee and breakfast together. I snuck extra snacks in his lunchbox while he was out warming up my car. It was a good morning. So where it went wrong, I couldn’t quite say. All I knew was that at some point in the afternoon, my anxiety started getting the best of me. 
I ended up locking myself in the bathroom at work and having a panic attack, then feeling bad that I wasn’t actually working and the guilt just made the attack worse and last longer, which just continued to fuel the guilt. It was a cycle that kept feeding itself. I finally managed to get myself under control enough to go back to work but Darcy knew something was going on and she sent me home. 
When I got in my car, I was feeling like garbage and needed to hear Walt’s voice, so I called him. I knew he might be busy and not be able to answer, but he did after just a couple of rings. 
“Hey, love,” he said, his voice instantly making me feel better. “Is everything alright?” 
I leaned my head back against the headrest of my seat. “I’m having a rough day.” 
“What’s wrong?” 
My teeth sunk into my lip as I chewed on it for a moment. “I don’t know,” I finally admitted. “A panic attack hit me out of nowhere. Darcy’s sending me home but I feel terrible that she has to do without me just because my stupid brain decided to have a random meltdown on Friday afternoon with literally no trigger.” 
“Hey, do not talk about yourself like that, young lady. I won’t have it,” he said, his voice taking on a very fatherly tone that he’d never used with me before. “Your brain is not stupid. Do you hear me?” 
I smiled. “Yes, bear, I hear you.” 
“Good. Now I want you to come home.”
I raised my head up from the headrest. “Come home? Not go home?” I questioned. “As in, you’re already there?” 
I could faintly hear him laugh. “I’m meant to be the detective in this family, Miss Sparks. Not you,” he teased. “But yes; I’m already here.”
“What are you doing home so early?” 
“We were able to connect our murder to similar ones in different states so we had to hand it over to the FBI. We’ll work it alongside them but for today, there’s nothing else I can do. Not until they review it. So for now I’m at home. I was going to surprise you with dinner when you got off work but I’ll have to find something else to surprise you with, unless you want dinner at two in the afternoon?” 
I laughed. “No. I just had lunch not long ago. I’m good. But you don’t have to surprise me with anything. Getting to spend the day with you is a good enough surprise.” 
“Then come home to me, darling. Let me hold you.”
I felt myself grin. “I’m on my way now. Love you.” 
“Love you, too, Fi. Be careful.”

When I got home, Walter greeted me outside on the doorstep. He was wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants with socks. His perpetually tired look seemed packed away for the moment and strangely enough, he looked actually, well…rested. It wasn’t something I saw very often. 
“Hiya, handsome,” I said, smiling at him as I walked up the steps. 
He returned my smile. “Hey,” he said as I reached him. He pulled me in for a short kiss. “How are you feeling?” 
“I’m alright.” He gave his little grunting-humming sound as if he didn’t believe me and I laughed. “I am alright,” I said. “I’m tired from my panic attack but just because it feels like I’m dying at the time, it doesn’t mean they can actually hurt me. So I’m okay.” 
“Would a cuddle make you feel better?” he asked, the corner of his mouth ticking up in a slight smile. 
My own smile couldn’t be bothered to play it cool. It spread across my whole mouth as I nodded. “Yeah, a cuddle would definitely make me feel better.” 
“Good.” 
He kissed my forehead, then took my hand and led me into the house. Inside, I stopped short in the entrance as I was greeted with the sight of the biggest blanket fort I’d ever seen. It was in the living room and made from the couch and kitchen chairs. Sheets were held to one another with heavy duty plastic clamps and draped across the whole thing, and inside I could see that it was stuffed with blankets and pillows. 
“What’s this all about?” I asked. 
He shrugged a shoulder as he looked a bit bashful. “I couldn’t surprise you with dinner but I thought this might turn your rough day around,” he said. “If it’s too childish -” 
“Shh,” I said, cutting him off. “Sometimes childish is good. I could definitely use a break from being a grown up for a little bit.” I kissed his cheek. “Thank you.” 
As much as I wanted to crawl right into the fort, I wanted to get comfortable first. I changed into a pair of leggings and one of Walter’s shirts, happy to do away with my bra. Then I pulled on some thick, cozy socks and padded back out to the living room. Walter was already inside. I could see his feet sticking out and noticed that there was a hole in the bottom of his sock. I made a mental note to toss it and buy him a new pair. He must have heard me because he started moving around, then pulled back one of the sheets that was draped down over the front. 
“There’s not quite so much room as I thought there’d be so it will be a bit of a squash and a squeeze in here,” he warned. 
I smiled. “I was planning on squashing and squeezing you anyway, so that’s fine.” 
I bent to my knees at the ‘doorway’ and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back as he laid down. The sheet dropped, covering the entrance to the fort and dimming the light inside. I gave Walt a final kiss, then lay my head down on his chest and wrapped my arm around his thick waist. He rubbed my back and ran his fingers through my hair, playing with strands of it.
“This is exactly what I needed and I didn’t even know it,” I said, rubbing my cheek against the soft fabric of his shirt. I could feel the texture of his chest hair beneath it. “Thank you.” 
“You’re welcome, my love,” he said, then kissed my forehead. 
My hand strayed from his waist, making its way under the hem of his shirt. “Can I touch you?”
He hummed. “Of course. But if it goes past that, we’ll have to take it out of the tent.”
“Afraid you’ll pull a muscle in here without more leg room?” I joked. 
He laughed. “No. I ran out of blankets to put down under us so I borrowed Faye’s. I can’t do that to her stuff,” he said. “But also…pulling a muscle is a possibility.” 
“I’ll behave myself then. On both accounts.” I slid my hand under his shirt and ran it across his stomach. He hissed and sucked in for a moment. I looked up at his face. “Sorry.” 
“It’s alright. It just always surprises me how cold you are.” 
I smiled. “That’s because you’re always so warm. Everything and everyone feels like an ice block in comparison.” 
He laughed, his fingers dancing up my spine. “That’s true.” 
I buried my fingers in the patch of hair on his stomach and let my hand warm up before moving it up to his chest. There was something so comforting about touching Walter. About feeling his skin against mine. He was warm and his hair was soft and I felt safe with my hand laying against his heart, feeling it beat underneath my palm. I kissed his chest through his shirt. “Thank you for loving me, bear.”
“Hey,” he said softly and I looked up at his face. “You never have to thank me for that. I’m honored that I get to love you.” His hand stilled at the back of my head, cradling it. “I never thought I’d be in love again. I thought I screwed it up with my marriage and that was it. But you gave me a second chance. And I know that I’m by no means perfect, and I know that I’ll manage to screw things up down the line somewhere, but now I know how important it is to try everything I can to make it work.” He brought his hand around to my cheek and stroked it with his thumb. “I’m not an easy person to love. I know that. But you never let me see how difficult it is, Fi. You don’t know how much I appreciate that.” 
I smiled. “I find you exceptionally easy to love, Walt. I’ve been in relationships before and I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you,” I said. “It breaks my heart to know that you have felt this way and you had to watch it fall apart even while you were trying to fix it. It hurts me to know you thought you’d never feel this way again.” I lightly scratched his skin through his chest hair. “But I am so happy that I get to be your second chance.”

That weekend was Walt’s weekend to have Faye. Typically he’d pick her up in the afternoon and bring her home. But on Saturday, I picked her up instead. My cousin Mel had invited the two of us to go to the mall with her and her daughter Juniper. One of Faye and Juniper’s friends was moving soon and she wanted to buy her a going away present and asked Faye to help. I was tagging along just to spend time with them. And to also get a cookie from the cookie shop. 
“Didn’t this place used to be like, a big deal when you were our age?” Juniper asked Mel and me as we walked through the very empty shopping center.
“Oh, it was hopping back then. Saturdays were crazy and it would have already been packed by now,” Mel said. “But Fridays?” She looked at me. “Fiona and I were mall rats on Friday nights.” 
“Ew. What’s a mall rat?” Juniper asked. 
Mel and I both laughed. “It was someone who spent a lot of time at the mall,” Mel answered.
“What did you do here?” Faye asked, looking around at the closed stores.
“We’d just hang out,” I said. “We’d eat at the food court and walk around. Back then, there was a store in every part of the building and sometimes there were booths and kiosks set up in the center or walkways, too. It’s hard to picture but there was a lot more to look at than there is now.”
Mel nodded. “Which was good because Fiona and I had very different tastes at the time so there were stores for both of us.”
“Different how?” Juniper asked. 
“Well, I was more concerned with buying push up bras from Victoria’s Secret and tube tops from Wet Seal, and she was wanting to buy American Eagle jeans and tank tops from Aeropostale,” Mel said. “We always agreed on the music store, though. We’d hit up F.Y.E. and look at CDs for hours.” 
“What kind of music did you listen to?” Faye asked. 
“At your age? Boy bands,” I said. “There were a lot of arguments over who was better: Backstreet Boys or NSYNC.” 
“You listened to boy bands?” Juniper laughed. 
“Yes, squirt. We listened to boy bands on our Walkmans while skating around the neighborhood together. And it was the best,” I said. 
“It really was,” Mel agreed. “If we’d only known then.”
We walked through the mall, letting the girls take their time as they tried to decide what to buy their friend who was moving away. Nothing seemed to spark their interest until we came to the Build-A-Bear store. There was a cute stuffed penguin in the window that they seemed to spot at the same time. I guess their friend Lexi was a fan of penguins and collected them and making one for her seemed like the perfect gift to them. I thought it was sweet. And it reminded me that they were still young. Still innocent enough to want stuffed animals and to want to give them to each other. That time didn’t last long. With high school, boys, stress, anxiety, and everything that came with growing up, it would eventually wear that thread down and separate them from the things people deemed childish. But right then? Right then a stuffed penguin was the most genuine thing they could buy their friend to remember them by.
They wanted to do it on their own so Mel and I bought coffees and sat at a table just outside the shop where we could see them inside but they had the freedom to do it on their own like they wanted. As they moved to a different part of the store, Faye saw me and waved. I smiled and waved back, then she and Juniper disappeared behind the big machine with all of the stuffing inside it. 
“She’s a good kid,” Mel said. “And you both seem to get along really well.” 
“We do. I never thought this is where I’d end up. You know that. When did I ever picture myself with a guy who had a kid? Especially a teenager?” 
She shook her head. “Never. And honestly, it was a surprise when I found out you were dating him.”
“It could have gone so bad. She could have hated me. I mean, I remember being fourteen. I remember how angry I was at that age. And I had basically a perfect life. If Mom and Dad had gotten divorced and I had to watch some odd, gangly lady hit on Dad? I would have hated her.” 
Mel laughed. “You’re not an odd gangly lady,” she said. “And I know for a fact you weren’t ‘hitting on’ her dad in front of her. You don’t even know how to flirt so you definitely weren’t forcing that with his daughter around.” 
“You know what I’m saying, though. She really could have hated me and no one would have blamed her for it.”
“I’m sure she was worried you might hate her, too. Juniper has friends who’s step-moms want nothing to do with them. Faye probably knows the exact same girls.”
“That’s something I never understood and I understand it even less now that I’m with Walt,” I said. “Why would you ever get into a relationship with a guy who has kids if you don’t want anything to do with them? And why would you want to be with someone who could abandon their own kid that easily? I just…” I shook my head. “I don’t get it. Honestly, I don’t.”
“I don’t get it, either, Fi. Some people are just selfish, I guess.” 
It took the girls close to an hour to do their thing. Mel and I talked and people watched while they did, occasionally catching glimpses of them in the store. Finally we could see them get in line to pay. Once I saw they were nearly done, I drank the rest of my coffee and took my and Mel’s cups to the trash. I was walking back to the table when Walt called. 
“Um…listen,” he said with a sigh after we’d greeted each other. “I know we both loathe socializing but…my cousin called. He lives out of state and we rarely get to see one another, but he’s been away for holiday and he’s having a layover here and wants to visit. I told him he could.” 
“A cousin? I finally get to meet another branch of the Marshall tree? I’m very intrigued.”
He did his grunting-humming thing. “Before you get your hopes up, he’s not like me. He…talks. A lot.”
I laughed as I joined Mel back at our table. “Are you saying your brooding nature may not be genetic?” 
He chuckled. “No. That’s the English coming out in me. But you’ll see soon enough. I’m heading to the airport to go get him now,” he said. “I thought instead of cooking tonight we could go out for dinner. Do you and Faye want to meet us when you’re done?” 
“Yeah, that sounds good. Just let me know where you’re going after you pick him up and we’ll meet you.”
“Thank you, love. See you soon.”
I hung up as Faye and Juniper were coming out of the store. Juniper was holding the traditional Build-A-Bear gift box that looked like a house and Faye was holding a plastic gift bag. They came and sat at the table with us and Juniper showed us the stuffed penguin they made. It was pale blue and wearing a scarf and ice skates. It was adorable. I didn’t know their friend Lexi but I couldn’t see how she wouldn’t love it. When she was done, Faye showed us what was in her bag. I had assumed it was something that would go with the penguin, but I was wrong. She pulled out a teddy bear with dark brown fur that was dressed in jeans and a blue sweater. 
“Aw, how cute!” I said. “Did you make it for yourself?”
“Actually I…made it for you,” she said, her mouth twisting off to the side in a worried look that reminded me so much of Walter. She held the bear out towards me.
“For me?” I asked, taking it from her. She nodded. “Faye, that was so sweet! Thank you!” I didn’t know why she’d made it for me but I couldn’t stop smiling as I looked him over. After a moment, I saw that there was a police badge clipped to the side of his pants and suddenly it all clicked for me. “Wait…” I looked back to her, grinning. “Is this your dad?”
She nodded again but smiled properly that time. “The sweater looked like one of his and when I saw the police badge I thought it would be fun to make him for you. You know, since you call him ‘bear’.” 
“It’s perfect. I love it! My own little Walter Bear for when he’s not home.”
“I thought maybe he can be friends with the monkey and hedgehog that Dad won you at Naples.” 
My face hurt from smiling so wide. “Yes! He’ll make an excellent friend for them. Thank you.”
She leaned over and hugged me and I hugged her back tight. I couldn’t imagine trying to push Faye out of the picture. She was an extension of Walter and if I loved him, then I had to love her. She wasn’t a burden in our relationship; she was a bonus.  
Tumblr media
Once they had their penguin, the girls were done with the mall. Faye and I said bye to Mel and Juniper and then we went to my car. Walter texted as I was getting it warmed up and said that he and his cousin were going to a diner that was about midway between the airport and the mall and sent me the address. When we got there, I saw Walter’s truck. He and his cousin were standing at the tailgate, waiting for us. There wasn’t a parking spot beside it but there was one directly across from it. As I parked, Faye turned her head to look at Walter. 
“Wait, who’s that with Dad?” she asked and I realized that I’d forgotten to tell her about her cousin. She unbuckled so she could peer through the back window better. Then she gasped. “Is that…? It is!” She flung open her door and started clambering to get out. 
“Watch for cars!” I told her. 
I watched her go across the short distance to Walter and once she was safely there, I turned off the car and grabbed my purse, then joined them. Faye was being swallowed up in a hug by their cousin who I was surprised to see was bigger than Walt. They seemed to match each other height wise but he was broader. After he released Faye, he looked at me and I could see the family resemblance. If I hadn’t known better, I would have thought they were brothers. Walter’s cousin had shorter hair than him but they shared the same brown curls, they sported the same thick beard, and their eyes were practically identical. And when he smiled at me, he even had the same lines that crinkled around them just like Walter’s. 
“You must be Fiona,” he said, his voice surprising me with the thick southern accent. 
“I am.” I held out my hand and he shook it. “You must be one of the Texas cousins, right?” 
He laughed. “Yes, ma’am. I’m Sy. It’s nice to finally meet you,” he said. “Walter ain’t much of a talker but I knew you had to be something special because he won’t shut up about you anytime we do talk.” 
I smiled. “I hope he doesn’t bore you too much.”
He shook his head as he let go of my hand. “Not at all. I’m happy for him,” he said. “And I appreciate y’all letting me visit. I know it was last minute but I hadn’t been planning on coming this way until my flights got mixed up heading back from vacation and I ended up here. Then my layover got extended until later tonight and I figured if I didn’t come by now, it’d be a while before I got the chance to again.”  
“Of course. I’m excited to meet you. Walt has already met a lot of my family but Faye is the only one from his that I’ve gotten to meet in person so far. I’ve spoken to his parents and Charlie on the phone a few times but that’s it. So it’s nice to put a face to a name now.”
“Same,” he said. “Although, for me it’s putting your voice to your face because Walt sent me your picture not long after y’all started dating. Told me he was going to marry you.” 
“Stop,” Walter ordered as I laughed.
“What? You don’t want her to know how love sick you are?” Sy teased. Walter gave him a stern look but Sy just grinned at him before clapping his hand on his shoulder. “I bet you wished you’d ignored my call earlier, huh?” 
“I can still send you back to the airport,” Walter said. 
Sy laughed. “Yeah but you won’t.”
“You have far too much faith in that.”
“If you do, I’ll call your momma and tell her what you did.” 
Walter crossed his arms over his chest. “You’ll call Mum and tattle on me?” he asked with a raised eyebrow. “Like we’re twelve again?” 
Sy gave another laugh and nodded. “Yep. Just like that. I ain’t got no shame about it.” 
“You don’t have shame about anything.” 
I saw Sy’s face do the same frowning-smile that I’d seen Walter do before. “You’re not wrong.”
“I rarely am,” Walt said
“Can we go inside? I’m freezing and I want a milkshake,” Faye said. 
Sy laughed. “That makes sense. You’re cold, so let’s drink something frozen.” 
“It makes as much sense as drinking coffee when it’s hot outside. It’s like a hundred degrees in Iraq in the summertime and you were there for ten years, did you not drink coffee at all in the summer?” 
“Coffee is what keeps people alive. It’s different.”
“And milkshakes are what makes being alive worth it.”
He smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “I can’t really disagree with you on that one, kiddo,” he said. “So let’s go get us a milkshake.” 
“Banana and peanut butter?” she asked, looking up at him.
“You and your daddy can keep that one for yourselves. I’ll take chocolate.” 
Walter grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze before he began walking towards the diner, leading me with him. I turned and pressed a quick kiss to his shoulder and before I could move my head, he kissed the top of it. 
Once we were inside, we didn’t have to wait long for a table. Walter and I sat together and Sy sat next to Faye. She borrowed a pen from me and flipped her paper placemat over and started doodling on it. “You said you were coming back from vacation,” she said to Sy. “Where did you go?” 
“I went to Florida with some of my old army buddies.”
“Was it fun?” 
“It was alright. They seemed to enjoy it,” he said. “Me personally? I’ve seen enough sand in my lifetime, I don’t have any desire to ever set foot on it again.”
“Are you still in the army?” I asked. 
He shook his head. “No, ma’am. I retired a few years ago. I felt like I needed to be closer to home,” he said. “I’m a firefighter now.” 
I smiled. “Did you and Walter ever consider jobs that weren’t superheroes?” 
He laughed. “There was a minute where I thought I might want to be a chef, but that was it. I was stuck on being in the army since I was a little kid. As a matter of a fact, when Walt and his family would come visit us, me and him would usually be out in the woods playing army men or SWAT team. It didn’t surprise anyone when we both ended up going that way with our careers.”
“Walt went on his first SWAT raid since we’d been together last week and I was a nervous wreck until he called me and told me he was safe after it was over. I don’t know how your families handled you both being in dangerous fields like that.” 
“We put them through a lot, that’s for sure,” Sy said. 
“You longer than me,” Walter pointed out. “I’ve stayed relatively safe in homicide. You jumped out of the frying pan into the fire with your job change. Quite literally.” 
“I did but you know I couldn’t have done anything else. I mean, can you imagine me in a suit every day going into an office and selling…insurance or something?” Sy shook his head. “There’s not a lot of civilian jobs that would’ve worked for me,” he said. “Same for you. If you left homicide right now, tell me that you could take a job where you didn’t have a gun on you twenty-four-seven.”
“You know I couldn’t.”
“Exactly,” he said. “Coming home didn’t have nothing to do with being safer or not putting my life on the line for other people. It just meant doing it closer to my family. I get to see them more. I don’t miss out on stuff like I used to. And if I die doing this, they don’t have to wait for a casket to be sent home so they can bury me.”
“That’s depressing,” Faye said, looking at him. 
“But it’s the truth.” He put his hand on her head and ruffled her hair. “We won’t talk about it anymore, though,” he said. “Tell me what’s been going on with you? How’s school?”
“It’s…meh.”
“I heard it was a little more than ‘meh’. I heard you broke a boy’s finger a few weeks ago.” 
Faye looked at Walter. “Dad, you told him?” 
“Did I tell him that my daughter stood up for herself when a boy put his hands on her? Yes.” 
“Why?” she asked. 
“Because he was proud,” Sy answered for him. “In our day, girls were taught that if boys were mean to her it meant he liked her. The moment your daddy found out you were going to be a girl, he was determined to make sure you knew that wasn’t true and you knew how to take up for yourself. Not just as a kid but when you get older, too.”
“Especially when you get older. It doesn’t get better, it’s just different,” Walter said. “Because no matter the age, men are -” 
“Pigs, yes,” Faye said, shaking her head. “I know.” 
“He’s right. And he should know all about it,” Sy said to her. “Because cops are pigs, too.” 
I didn’t mean to laugh but I couldn’t help the snort that came out. Walter looked at me. “Really?” he asked, with a raised eyebrow. 
“I’m sorry,” I apologized. 
“If they call cops pigs, what do they call firefighters?” Faye asked Sy. 
“Heroes.” 
I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing that time. Walter watched my face and shook his head at me before looking back to Sy. “You’re paying for this meal,” he said. “And I’m getting pie afterwards.” 
“Yeah, that’s fair.”
Tumblr media
I liked having dinner with Sy. He and Walter playfully bickered throughout the whole meal and it was nice to see Walt joking around with someone. And Sy wasn’t intimidated. Even when I thought Walter may have said something that crossed the line, Sy would just laugh and dish it right back. They clearly loved each other, even though it didn’t necessarily always sound like it. 
After we ate, Walter and Faye went to the front of the diner to look at the dessert case and I stayed with Sy. “You’re good for him,” he said. “I haven’t seen him this happy since…well, I don’t know when. But it’s been a long time, that’s for sure.” 
I smiled. “He makes me happy, too.” 
“I wouldn’t say this in front of Faye but Walt never had with Angie what y’all seem to have,” he said. “I know he loved her at the time but that’s not always enough.”
“Despite what the Beatles say?” I joked. 
He laughed. “Yes, ma’am. You need love but love isn’t all you need,” he said. He was quiet for a moment but I could see it was because he was thinking so I waited. “He told me how you said you were proud of him. Proud of what he does, who he is.” 
I felt a little taken aback that he would mention that but I nodded. “I am. I’m incredibly proud of him.” 
“See…you’ve got to understand that Walt doesn’t hear that much. He never has. His father is the typical Englishman and keeps all his emotions buttoned up. He didn’t brag on him or Charlie ever. Not out of meanness but just ‘cause that’s how he was raised. And his mother, my aunt, she’s sweet and she made sure Walt and Charlie knew she loved them but it was still done with her husband’s English mentality of only a few words,” he said. 
“Then when he met Angie, she never liked him being a part of SWAT. She wanted him to change to something less dangerous. He held his ground until she had Faye and then he changed over to being a detective, but it still wasn’t what she wanted.” He let out a breath. “The point is…he’s always tried hard and it’s never really been acknowledged. At this point, he does it because that’s just who he is. He runs himself into the ground to do his job. And you are the first person who’s just flat out told him you’re proud of him like that.” 
I remembered the night I’d told Walter how proud I was of him and he’d cried. I’d just thought he was exhausted but hearing Sy talk about it brought a new light to it. Especially knowing it had meant enough for him to tell Sy about it. “I’ll make it a point to tell him more often then.”
“Whether you know it or not, that man takes everything you say to heart. The amount of times we talk and he says, ‘Fiona said this’, ‘Fi said that’, is more than I can count, honestly. And I don’t have a problem with it. Because everything he tells me is something good. I just…I know he’s not great at opening up so I know he probably hasn’t told you what it meant to him but…it meant a lot.”
“Thank you for telling me,” I said. “I’m glad he has you to talk to.” 
“I’m glad I’ve got him, too,” he said as Walt and Faye began walking back towards us. Sy shook his head at me. “Just don’t tell him I told you that. Far as he knows, I only like to call and agitate him.”
I smiled then mimed zipping my lips. “I won’t say a word about it.”
Tumblr media
We stayed at the diner probably longer than the staff would normally be happy about but despite Walter’s quiet, introverted nature, Sy was loud and outgoing and made friends with our waitress fast. He explained the situation about catching up with family while killing time - two birds with one stone, he said - and the woman, who looked old enough to be his grandmother, told him to take all the time he needed. For every ‘sweetheart’ and ‘honey’ she called him, he flashed her a grin and made sure to use all of his manners. I could hear Walter quietly groaning at his antics, but I found it fascinating. They looked so much alike and were clearly close but they were so different from one another. 
When we finally left the diner, it was dark out. The already cold air had grown almost frigid and even with my coat on, I was shivering. So we didn’t linger with goodbyes. Faye gave Sy a hug, then huddled next to Walter for warmth. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her to his side. Sy turned to me then. 
“You alright with a hug or is it too soon?” he asked. 
I smiled. “No, I’m alright with it. I feel like I’ve known you longer than four hours.”
“It feels like six at least, right?” he joked.
I laughed and nodded. “At least, yeah.” He opened his arms and pulled me into a big bear hug and I noticed that he ran warm just like Walter. I hadn’t realized that ‘human space heater’ was an inheritable trait until then. “It was really nice meeting you, Sy. If you were going to get stuck somewhere with a delayed flight, I’m glad you got stuck with us.”  
“It was good meeting you, too,” he said. He released me from our hug and took a step back. “And I definitely could’ve gotten stuck somewhere worse. Like the airport Quiznos.” 
“That would have been much worse,” I agreed with a laugh. “Next time you’ll have to come back on purpose and we can cook for you at the house instead of you paying for us to eat out.”
“That sounds like a deal.” He looked at Walter then tilted his head towards the truck. “We better mosey on down to the airport.”
Walter gave Faye a hug, then gave me a kiss goodbye, then he watched the two of us get into the car and leave the parking lot. Once we got home, Faye and I both changed into pajamas then made hot chocolate to drink while we watched a show about baking fails in the living room while we waited for Walter to come home. But she fell asleep about half an hour into it. I did my best to make her comfortable there, carefully placing a pillow under her head and covering her up with a blanket and tucking her in. Then I made sure the doors were locked and sent Walter a text telling him that I was getting ready for bed and to try to be quiet as he came in because Faye was asleep on the couch. 
After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I went to our bedroom. I saw Walter Bear in his bag and I took him out, spraying him with some of the real Walter’s cologne, then put him on his side of the bed before turning out the lights and laying down. I had a hard time sleeping on my own anymore so I was awake when Walt came home. He was trying to be quiet but he was so heavy that his boots made a clomping sound as he came down the hall towards our room. He carefully pushed the cracked door open, allowing himself inside before closing it completely. 
“Hey,” I whispered to him. 
He froze by the bed. “Hey,” he whispered back. “Did I wake you?” 
“No. I was too lazy to get my weighted blanket and without it or you, I can’t sleep,” I said. “Did Sy get on his flight okay?” 
“Yeah. Thank you for letting him join us, by the way. I know it wasn’t what we had planned for this evening.” 
“We were planning on having dinner with Faye to celebrate your weekend off, that’s what we did. We just had an extra guest,” I said. “One, who, is quite entertaining, by the way.” 
My eyes had adjusted to the dark and I watched him shake his head as he walked to his dresser. “Don’t ever tell him that. He will take it and run.”
I smiled. “I like him. He’s nice. And really funny. I loved the stories he told about you two as teenagers.” 
He groaned as he began emptying his pockets. “He embellishes things, by the way. Not all of those were true,” he said. “But he liked you, too. Though you are far more likable, so that makes sense.” 
“So I have his seal of approval?” 
He turned towards me as he pulled his sweater over his head, followed by his t-shirt, then tossed them in the clothes hamper. “You do.”
“Did you really tell him that you were going to marry me after we met?” 
He let out a sigh as he kicked off his boots. Then he unbuckled his jeans and tugged them off. “Not that soon but…yes, I told him that I wanted to marry you fairly early on,” he said. “Does that bother you?” 
“Bother me? No. I think it’s sweet.” 
He came to the bed and pulled the covers back but stopped short of climbing in beside me. I didn’t know why until he held up my teddy bear. “And who is this?” he asked with a raised eyebrow. 
I smiled as I took it from him. “This is Walter Bear,” I said. “Faye made him for me today.” 
He looked confused as he finally lay down beside me. “She made you a stuffed animal version of me?” 
“Yeah, because I call you ‘bear’,” I said. “It was really sweet of her. They’re not cheap. So I’m tasking you with somehow funneling money from me back to her without her knowing that I’m paying for it.”
He laughed and shook his head. “No you’re not.”
“She paid for it with her own money.”
“And I will give her an extra allowance or something but you’re not paying for a gift that she gave you.”
“I can bring her extra cookies home.” 
He did his frowny thought face as he squinted. “You could bring me extra cookies home and I’ll funnel the money.” 
I laughed. “You’re easily bought, mister.”
“Only by you, Miss Sparks.” 
I reached out and put my hand on his cheek. “When we get married, are you still going to call me Miss Sparks or will you call me Mrs. Marshall?”
“You still want to marry me?” he asked, his voice quiet. 
I smiled and nodded. “You’re the only man I’ve ever wanted to marry.” I brushed my thumb against his skin softly. “Most girls dream about their weddings - my cousin Mel even had this big binder full of things that she ripped out of magazines that she wanted for hers - but I never did that. I never pictured myself in that position,” I said. “Even now, I don’t think in terms of a big wedding. I don’t see colors or a cake or a reception. I see you and me. Exchanging rings, or having a first dance, but that’s it. Everything else is hazy and in the background. The only thing I see clearly is…you.” 
He was quiet for a moment then softly nodded his head against his pillow. “I see you clearly, too, Fi.”

Touch and Go: A Detective's Romance
Tumblr media
Rating: Explicit, 18+, Minors - DNI 
Pairing: Walter Marshall x Detective!Female!Reader 
Fandom: Night Hunter 
Word Count: 3.3K 
Summary: What happens when a touch-starved detective who isn’t well-versed in human interaction meets their match?  
Warnings: touch starvation, awkward conversation, unprotected p-in-v sex, creampie, crying during sex 
A/N: It’s apparently winter in this story, damn Minnesota weather. Honestly, I was watching the movie while writing so it ended up being snowy. Unbeta’d, we die like people who tried their best.

My Masterlist 
Tumblr media
It’s not like you never noticed your fellow officer. Of course, your attention has been pulled to Detective Walter Marshall once or twice, or several times throughout your time working together. Damn, ok the man was a presence. His very existence should have a warning label on it. 
Not that he’s a bad person. Far from it, in fact. You thought the world of him. Not that you’d admit it, but you found his grumpiness endearing. His monosyllabic responses to questions made it a bit hard to get to know him. You weren’t exactly an open book yourself. But you forced yourself to try and get to know him. 
You didn’t make it a habit to get to know people very often. You had trust issues, and rightfully so after what your ex-partner left you with. A broken heart and a fractured view of your self-worth. You hadn’t even let anyone touch you in so long. A handshake here or there, maybe a pat on the shoulder but nothing more. 
And now here you were, a touch-starved mess who had grown to be a bit more than interested in another detective. You wanted to make him smile and that was a foreign feeling to you. So, you started with an olive branch. 
Asking if he wanted a coffee on your way to the break room. After the fifth time, he relents, requesting a cup of black coffee with three sugars. While you’re there, you pick up a granola bar from the cabinet. Handing him the paper cup of coffee, you also pull the treat from your back pocket and toss it on his desk. 
He tilts his head like a giant puppy at the snack. 
“Humor me and eat something. I’m curious if you’re eating enough if I’m being honest.” You bite your bottom lip unconsciously, and the beginnings of a smile appear on his face as he rips open the bar and takes a bite. 
Chewing slowly and staring at you, he seems to look right through to your soul. You look down at your feet to break eye contact and he clears his throat, getting your attention back.  
“You know, I actually love food. I love to cook almost every night.” As the words come out of his mouth, it’s like they’re fighting their way out. As if each syllable is a punch to the gut. 
“I love food, too. But I hate cooking,” You suddenly had a very dry throat, so you sip a bit of coffee before speaking again, “I’m not inviting myself over or anything, but if you’d be up for it sometime...I, uh...yeah.” You look everywhere but him as you trail off. 
“Yeah, that’d be nice. I normally eat alone. Be nice to have someone...there...to eat with.” It’s like speaking makes him physically nauseous, the way his jaw tenses like that. 
“Well, I’m free most nights, so...just let me know.” You move to turn and leave his office, but he stops you with an offering. 
“You wouldn’t happen to be free tonight?” He’s even surprised by his question but plays it off by folding his hands on his desk and maintaining eye contact. 
“Yes. I’m free.” You know you sound desperate but at this point, this is the most contact you’ve had with the man since you’ve been here so who cares? Well, you do, but you can worry about that later. 
“Good. Yeah. So, uh, I guess come and grab me when you’re ready to go. You can follow me to my place. Sound good?”  
“Yeah, that sounds great. Um, I’m gonna leave so I don’t say something embarrassing. I didn’t mean to say that out loud. I just—” 
Walter cuts you off, saving you from yourself. “Don’t do this a lot?” 
“No, I don’t. Been a long time and I don’t want to fuck this up, ya know? Not that playing it cool was ever my style. Why start now, right?” You surprise Walter by laughing at your self-deprecating joke and he follows suit. 
The little duck of his head doesn’t stop you from seeing the way his eyes crinkle at the corners. When he picks his head up again, a broad smile is painted on that normally glum face. If you had 1% less control over your face, you would have drooled. 
This man should smile more. 
And you know you hate being told to put on a smile but fuck, his face was made for it. You realize you’re still looking at him and a faint rose-tinted blush dusts across his cheeks and the tips of his ears. 
You should not be allowed to be that adorable. 
“What?” Walter’s question brings you back to where you just said that sentence out loud. 
“I think I just called you adorable. So, I’m gonna see myself out and try not to throw myself into traffic on the way to my desk. I’ll be back when I’ve calmed my brain down a bit.” You wave awkwardly and exit his office before you can notice the smile inching back over his features. 
You spend the next two and a half hours hoping you didn’t make a complete ass out of yourself in front of the only man you’ve talked to in the last few months that wasn’t a delivery driver or your boss. The only person who you’ve talked to for more than a few minutes about something other than work.  
When 5:30 p.m. comes around, you gather your things and drag your feet to Walter’s office. He’s already standing, putting away some files in his desk drawer, looking up when he hears your polite throat clearing. 
“How do you feel about Spaghetti Bolognese? I have a recipe from Jamie Oliver that I’ve been meaning to try out.” He says, putting on his parka and moving toward you where you stand in his doorway. 
“Um, pasta is life. Pasta with meat sauce? Even better.” You brighten at the mention of a familiar dish, your previous nerves all but forgotten. 
“Great. Shall I help you with your coat?” He hinted once he realized you weren’t moving toward the exit. 
“Uh, yeah. Thank you.” You set down your purse and handed over your fluffy overcoat.  
Walter holds it out for you as you back your arms into the sleeves. As it comes to rest on your shoulders comfortably, his hands smooth over the fabric that covers your forearms, your hands ending up in his for a moment. 
You freeze at the sudden contact but if Walter notices, he doesn't make a big deal out of it. He just squeezes your hand quickly and hands you your purse so you can walk out together. You are grateful to be among the stragglers leaving the office so that you don’t draw too much attention. 
Walter walks you to your car and has you put in his address to your GPS, ‘just in case you get lost’ he jests before heading to his truck. As you watch him walk away, one thought comes to your mind. 
Is this a date? 
Tumblr media
You park behind Walter’s truck in his driveway, climb out of your car, and crunch through the snow behind him. In your clumsy state, your foot slips, and strong arms catch you so that you don’t completely bust your ass on the unforgiving ice below.  
This time when he touches your arms, you are beyond grateful to be able to pull yourself upright again. Once you’re stable, Walter keeps one of your hands in his until you make it to his front door. He lets you walk in first, turning on the light to the short hallway after you chuckle in the darkness. 
Walter takes your coat and hangs it up with his, your wet boots left by the door. Walking into the kitchen, he pulls out a bottle of red wine and two glasses. Opening the wine, he pours each glass and brings them out to where you are standing in the living room. Handing you a glass, he raises his own.  
“Shall we toast to something?” Walter smiles softly, expectantly waiting for you to suggest what to salute. 
“To...being pleasantly surprised that you still wanted to cook for me despite every awkward moment I’ve had since earlier today. You are a gentleman and a scholar and I'm gonna shut my mouth and drink this wine before I just...keep talking.” You cringe inwardly before looking back up at Walter. 
He is watching you with rapt fascination, a slow smile forming. “Let’s toast to practicing human interaction. I’d say we could both use some assistance in that area. We’ll help each other, deal?”  
“Deal.” You tap your glass to his and take a sip of the now-aerated wine. Your cheeks warm at the blackberry finish of the cabernet sauvignon.  
Maybe there is something to the whole liquid courage thing. 
Tumblr media
Dinner turned out lovely. You were pleasantly surprised that Walter could cook. There were moments watching him cook where he didn’t have to measure things, or he added a little extra of this or that. He didn’t use a recipe while making the garlic toast like it’s a staple of his repertoire or something. 
Sitting on his couch with your feet tucked up under you, you look around the living room at the lack of family photos or little touches that scream Walter Marshall. Not that you would have any idea of what those little touches would be. It just doesn’t feel like a home. It feels like a house, just a house that someone lives in. 
When he comes back to the couch with freshly poured wine, you accept your glass with a smile, and he returns it.  
“It is a Friday night. We are enjoying our second bottle of wine. You made me a delicious dinner. And I still can’t figure out if this is a date, Walter.” You fiddled with the glass in your hand, looking into it as if the answer was inside the wine. 
Walter’s thumb and forefinger on your chin have you looking up at his face. “I’ve used almost every excuse to touch you tonight. I kept talking to you earlier when you thought you’d lost me. I feed off your awkwardness because you say what’s on your mind without a filter. I’m not exactly one to speak a lot but I enjoy talking to you. Because you make me feel like I’m not alone.” 
Unshed tears gather at the corner of your eyes. You swallow the lump in your throat, clearing it loudly before you speak. “Can you tell I’m touch-starved because you are too?” 
At his quiet nod, you take his wine glass and set both of your glasses on the coffee table. You lean forward, your elbows on your knees. He watches as you have a silent moment with yourself, going over different scenarios before you reach a consensus with yourself. You look back up to him and your face softens. 
Reaching out your hand, you intertwine your fingers in his curls. As he turns his head to push it further into your hand, his breathing picks up. He grabs your fingers as they migrate to his jawline.  
“I want...I need more than this. I'd like to say I could wait, but all I can think about is kissing you until you can barely breathe.” Walter forces the words out, his breathing in time with yours. Erratic. 
You climb into his lap, one hand still in his, the other hand fisting his wool jumper. “Then kiss me until I can barely breathe. Fuck breathing. I just need you.” 
No sooner are the words out of your mouth, than Walter’s lips are on yours. It’s like he was starving and the breath from your lungs was the only meal he’d had in weeks. You could feel his hunger as he licked the seam of your lips, letting him in was the only option.  
As your tongues fought for dominance, he took the lead in a way you couldn’t ignore. His arms wrapped around you, pulling your torso flush to his. You felt so small yet so special as he held you. So new yet so treasured as you broke the kiss and rested your forehead against his to calm your nerves and catch your breath. 
A moment passes between you where you both just breathe. Until you lean your head back, locking eyes with Walter again, and you nod. He understands your non-verbal request, picking you up and walking toward his bedroom. Kicking the door behind him, he lays you down in bed and gets to work undressing you. 
You lift your hips as he pulls your jeans and underwear down your legs. You remove your top and bra, and he watches as your body is exposed to him. He stands to make quick work of his jumper, and you salivate at the sight of his hardness through his boxers when his jeans are pushed down his legs. His hefty dick springs up against his abdomen as his boxers are removed. 
Your hands roam over his hairy chest as he climbs onto the bed. With a hand under each knee, he pushes your legs back as far as they will go. He admires the shiny wetness that your pussy leaks. Shifting closer, he pushes the head of his dick through your folds and groans. 
He looks up into your eyes and asks silently if he can continue. When you nod, he enters you and your body accepts him fully. Allowing you to get adjusted to his size, he wraps your legs around his waist and pulls out until just the tip remains inside you before he slams back into you. This time you both groan, you at the fullness, him at the tight squeeze. 
“Fuck, you feel amazing. But please, keep moving.” Your words are all he needed to begin an all-out assault on your cunt. 
If it had been a while for him, you’d be none the wiser with the stamina this man possessed. He held your legs open while he fucked into you. He allowed you to just take it as he did most of the work. You could hardly keep up with his thrusts as you melted beneath him. 
“You’re so fucking close, just let go for me. I can feel you squeezing my fucking cock. Be a good girl and come for me.” While he whispered in your ear, he ground his pelvis into you to stimulate your clit and G-spot at the same time. 
When your resolve finally breaks, you try and hide your face in Walter’s neck to no avail. He tangles a hand in your hair and pulls you back so he can watch your orgasm play out on your face. 
“Don’t hide from me when I’m making you come. I want to watch you fall apart under my hands. You are so fucking gorgeous when you come for me, girl.” He talks as you come down from your orgasm and the warmth that spreads over your body is palpable. 
“Thank you,” You blurt out before you can stop yourself. 
Walter all but runs with it. “Fuck yes, you fucking thank me for your orgasm. That’s my good girl.” He pulls out, turning you on your side and sliding in behind you. Entering you again, he reaches a hand around to play with your clit. Circling your nub, then flicking it to keep you stimulated enough to come all over his fingers. 
You come for a second time within a few minutes, and he fucks you through it. Your words are clipped while you try to thank him once more and it just comes out as breathy whispers. 
Your moans are music to his ears and he pistons in and out of you. As your walls massage his cock, he starts to falter in his movements. You reach back to grab his hand, lacing your fingers together before pulling your hands to your chest. 
Getting the message, Walter wraps his other arm around you to pull you even more impossibly close to him. He slows down his pace, dragging out your moans as he unhurriedly moves inside you. He leans into your ear and speaks softly. 
“You have no idea how much I needed this. How much I wanted you. I didn’t know how to talk to you. Fuck, you feel amazing. Need you every day, girl. Just like this, wrapped up in you. I won’t last much longer. So perfect.” He babbles near the end, whimpering your name. He latches onto your neck as he stills inside you. 
His teeth nip at you and his tongue soothes your skin as you feel his cock twitch and paint your walls with his spend. You can hear him groan in your ear as his arms hold you tight. You haven’t felt this safe in someone’s arms since you were little. You don’t notice you’re crying until Walter wipes away the tears that fall down your face. 
“I’m sorry, I—” 
“If you’re about to apologize for crying in front of me, please don’t. You deserve to express your emotions no matter who is around. Least of all, me.” He places a kiss on your neck, attempting to soothe you. 
“Fair. I haven’t been held or even touched in so long and it’s a little embarrassing that my first reaction is to cry.” You sniff, rolling your eyes at yourself. 
“Don’t be embarrassed. I know that’s easier said than done. But trust me, we just experienced some intense sex. And it was emotional for both of us. Trust me. Can’t you feel how fucking hard I am still inside you?” He moves his hips just slightly and is rewarded with a shiver going down your spine. 
“Walter...please.” You let your whimpers be heard and you get what you want.  
He moves to his knees while keeping you on your side. He pushes your leg up to a 90-degree angle and leans forward to fuck into you. The sound of slapping flesh fills the room as well as Walter’s grunts as he buries himself deeper inside you than before. 
“I’m gonna...please, don’t stop!” You reach up to hold his cheek in one hand and he shuts his eyes at the contact. When they open again, his pupils are blown wide. 
“Not stopping until you come again for me, girl.” The hand on his cheek migrates to his forehead to wipe away sweat-slick curls from his brow. 
“Come with me, Walter!”  
“Ugh, fuck!” 
The hold you have on your orgasm falters and your walls flutter around him, his hands curl around your thigh as his hips pound into you one last time. As his cock spurts inside you, your cunt continues to milk him until he softens and is released from your hold on him. 
He collapses next to you, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you close. You reach an arm across his chest and settle in to catch your breath. Looking up one last time to Walter’s face, you’re pleasantly surprised to see a smile on his normally grumpy face. His eyes are closed, and you feel at peace knowing you are the cause of that serene expression. 
“Stay with me tonight.” You’re startled by his words, but you can’t deny the smile that crosses your face.  
Leaning up to kiss his stubbled neck, you revel in the grunt that follows. “Good night, Walter.” 
You feel him kiss the top of your head, nosing at your hair. “Night.” 
You fall asleep with your hand in his chest hair, your legs tangled together. You are held, you are safe, and you couldn’t be happier. Talking about what all this means could wait until the morning. For now, you bask in the feeling of warmth that this man and this moment give you.
