virginity loss

rodolfo x afab!f!reader ...

warnings: virginity loss, female anatomy, praising, self degrading, slight teasing.

note: i seriously need to start writing day 31... 😵‍💫

kinktober masterlist. (day 30)

Rodolfo's breath hitched in his throat at the sight of your bare and vulnerable body. Beauty, his eyes wandered, lingering on your chest as he swirls his tongue around your nipples, dragging his pink tongue along the hardened nubs.

“Tan perfecto, no puedo creer que esto sea lo que me has estado ocultando, niña...” He clicked his tongue, rubbing your clit while toying with your nipples and sloppily making out with you.

Your cunt drooled for affection, for the sensual touch. Your eyes rolled back when his soft lips trailed down your chest to your nipples again, sucking on them while pumping him cock messily. He chuckled at the sounds of your euphoria and ecsasty.

“Do you think you're ready for me, babe?” Rodolfo breathed out. “Please, hurry.” you whimpered, clinging to his hand and watching him ease down onto the bed, chuckling at your eagerness. “Paciencia, conejito...” Rudy smirked and dragged the tip between your slit and hole. Slowly easing inside and rolling his eyes back when your walls tightened around him.

Rudy sloppily pushed each inch inside. Slow and steady, he breathed out at the pulsing sensation against his shaft. Veins lugging against your walls. He smirked, sucking a hickey onto your neck and groaning out when he bottomed inside. “Oh-fuck!” he cursed, his eyebrows furrowed and his face scrunched up as he allowed you to become familiar with his cock size.

You whined quietly, eyes watering at his girth. You clutched around him, signalling for him to move. Broad hips met your own and heavy balls smacked against your ass with each thrust. He knocked into your hole, his dick stretching out your inexperienced and unused hole. His moans only getting louder. “Oh, God... That's it, taking it so well,”

“I'm so dirty for taking your virginity, yes?” Rodolfo teased, kissing your cheek as he picked up the pace, degrading himself for enjoying the tightness of a virgin cunt. “So fucking gross, I'm sorry, princess...” he panted after expressing how hard he was at your virgin tight pussy around him.

Your back arched as he began thrusting into your cunny erratically, your cheek rising and falling as he filled your slick pussy with his cock. He groaned loudly, euphoria rushing through his body when you creamed around him unexpectedly. Panting and slick, gasping as he continued fucking your hole.

Hot ropes of seed drooled into your pussy, filling you with a potent amount of cum. You gasped, eyes rolled back and shut tightly, his brute arms beside your head and your hand grasping at his hair. Rodolfo buried his head in the crook of your neck, pressing tender kisses as he apologized for taking you so roughly towards the end.

“Lo siento mucho, conejito. No pude evitarlo, ¿eh?”

how they fuck

these are all my own headcanons. LOL. oh and i'm making a fic based off this post stay tuned.

────────────────────────────────────────────

Captain Price. Service Top.

He knows how to please and he loves to do it. He'll never come first and you'll never come only once. He's experienced and confident. Once he knows exactly what buttons to press to get you hot and bothered, you're fucked. He has no issue with PDA and needs everyone to know that you're his. It's his job to make you feel good, and he'll do it at the drop of his stupid hat.

'Gaz'. Power Bottom.

He tries so hard to be in control but loses it the moment you are on him - your eyes, your lips, your hands. All that bravado and flirting has taken a turn as he becomes putty underneath you. He's still trying to take charge as he talks a big game only to crumble once you get him going. That confidence comes back full stride once he's no longer a sobbing mess, but now you know it's just an act.

'Soap'. Vers.

A rare vers in its natural habitat. Nothing makes him happier than being able to please whomever he's with the way they need want to be pleased. He can (and will) take or lose control in a second if you ask him to. He may be overconfident at times, but he makes up for it in enthusiasm. Lovey in public and lovey in private, he's a 'best of both worlds' kind of guy.

'Ghost'. Bottom cosplaying as a top.

Do I need to explain? It's ok, I will. Having control is one of the ways he grounds himself, losing that is difficult. It's something someone has to earn from him. At the start, he'll fuck you and fuck you good. But the cracks start to show the closer you get until he's praising and begging with every breath. Possessive in an endearing way, his affection shows when you're alone.

Alejandro. Bottom.

It's a surprise but certainly a welcome one. All it takes is you. Once the door closes, or you whisper in his ear, show just a bit of skin, he becomes a puddle of obsession and reverence. He'll do anything to please you even if that means he gets nothing. Damn if he cares as long as you look at him. He is the true personification of this audio and you cannot change my mind.

Rodolfo. Soft top.

Another welcome surprise. He has this quiet confidence that comes through when with you. He loves being able to control both of your pleasures, watching how you unravel just for him, rambling praise even as he fucks you senseless. He's affectionate no matter the time, place, or company - which is a double edged sword as each whisper of love gets you riled up more than it probably should.

────────────────────────────────────────────

part 2 will have graves, konig and whoever y'all request.

comfort call of duty headcanons because im having a Night

— soap casually refers to the 141's main base as "home," and unknowingly makes ghost smile every time he does, because the idea of having a real home makes ghost borderline giddy

— price calls people younger than him or lower in rank that he's a bit softer on "son," and "kid." he's also known to call transmascs "son" and transfems "miss".

— gaz is extremely protective of civilians when they're around on the field. he gets angry at people who shoot too close to them, and worries about them a lot. whenever farah is involved, she makes sure she gets word on civilians who were affected to ease his mind.

— alex and farah stay in touch even though alex is busy elsewhere now :)

— there's been multiple occasions of queer soldiers leaving it as a note on their file that instead of their remains being sent back home, if they die on duty, they want soap/price/laswell to handle things, so that they know they'll be buried by people who respected their identities.

— farah introduced alex and gaz Properly when she had the ability to. they're best of friends now, and gaz keeps alex updated on all the base gossip he gets word of. alex asks for updates as much as he can.

— ghost rarely sleeps, as far as anyone is concerned. he never seems to sleep in his bunk, at least (he's just a very light sleeper). however, it's a neatly kept secret that ghost has fallen asleep leaning on soap and price before after missions or on base when he was especially tired.

— soap sings to himself sometimes. its pretty quiet, sometimes it's only humming, but those who have heard it say it's really good. he's accidentally sung soldiers to sleep doing that, and he doesnt even know it.

— farah feeds stray animals when she can, and keeps a big communal garden with her people. they help provide for the needy who can't provide for themselves as well. little girls in nearby civilian areas really admire her.

— laswell has been the first person some queer soldiers have ever come out to. she tries not to, but she always takes a special liking to those ones, and does her best to help them out behind the scenes.

— alejandro still teaches soap new spanish vocabulary when he can, and asks about ghost every so often.

— rodolfo likes dogs :) he always tries to feed them and make sure strays are well taken care of when he can

You found out 141 and Los Vaqueros was inlove with you, you decided to flirt with but things get a little too much..

Task Force 141 X M!Reader X Los Vaqueros

FEM ALIGNED DNI!

-

When you found out everyone in the team was inlove with you, you knew you had to do a little bit of fun with that, you were bored one day looking at your phone, you thought If they all loved you you wanted to have some fun, you then went outside your room your phone on your desk, locking the door on your quarters, you walked through the halls, you saw Ghost shooting some dummies from the firing range, you then went beside him watching him shoot with a sniper on his hand, as he perfectly shot the dummies on the head you complimented him, "Nice shot, Simon!" He didnt notice you from beside him yet, he was quite surprised when you were there, you even called him by his real name It made kinda flustered, "Oh (Y/N) didnt know you were there?" He looked at you through his mask his gaze was soft, "Just wanted to watch you dear." You gave him a smile, looking above to see him starring at you, he was shocked from the name you gave him, he slightly blushed behind his mask, "Oh, alright." He said as he kept his eyes on you, you then went close to his face, though you couldnt see him behind his mask you knew you made him blush, you then smirked "How ya holding up?~" Quite a flirtatious tone you went slightly close to his face, your nose touched against his, you then pulled away from him, "Wonder how you look with me in bed, Sir?~" you then winked at him still having a smirk on your face, now that ultimately made him blush he thought of something else, "Gotta go darling~" you walked away from the range giving him a flying kiss before going out, he then thought It was a dream where he had been flirted by you, he couldnt believe It the thought was raining his brain alot, he continued doing shots on dummies but with a tint on his face, you chuckled as you went out looking for the next victim to flirt with, you saw Alejandro from the distance talking with rudy, nice a double kill your charms are about to blow these two up, you then walked towards them confidently, you fixed your hair as you did, they heard footsteps from beside them they looked over at you with a grin on your face, "Hi (Y/N) what brings you here?" Rudy asks looking at you questionably, "Oh just wanted to look for my boyfriends." You said looking at them with a wide grin on your face, they both got flustered from when you said that, "Boyfriends?" They both said in unison, you just chuckled infront of them, "Oh, right soon to be.." you said whispering from the back with a slight smirk on your face, they gave you a concerned look on their faces, you then looked back at them with a sly smile on your face, "Can I have both of you though." You laughed a little with a finger on your mouth, they again had a blush on their faces, "Gotta go now, see ya later lovelies~" you let out a sound on your lips waving them goodbye also giving them a wink, everything happened so quickly, they were questioning If everything that happened was real, they looked at you as you'd gotten away from their sights, they both looked at each other with eyes widened from what happened covering their mouths with a left out blush on their faces, Ghost then went to the hall just to see both Alejandro and Rudy talking about you, he then went up to them "What happened?" He asks, "I think (Y/N) tried to flirt with us." Rudy responded looking at Ghost with a dumbfounded expression, "Ahh he did the same to me earlier." Their eyes widened, "Oh, really?" In unison, they were really confused on why you flirted with them, "Do you think he knows?" Alejandro asks whispering through Rudy's ears, "I think so.." he responded, Ghost then raised an eyebrow looking down with a finger on his chin, "He's playing with us..." Ghost thought moving his finger out of his chin replacing It with a crossed arm..

hello!!! i was wondering you could write Rodolfo Parra x wife!reader where he comes home injured from when he meet Hassan. just fluff🥰🥰

A/n: *screams* I’m so happy I got a request for my boy!! Side note: I had tears in my eye on this mission thinking he was going to die.

When Rodolfo got hit with the butt of that gun he thought he we going to die, he thought he was going to burn alive, alone in the building. He would admit that you would have been his last thoughts. He hated the thought of leaving you pregnant and alone. Hated the thought of his child growing up with out a father.

But then Alejandro came back, saved him and after that everything went black. He remembered walking up in a cot, being attended to.Apparently the kick to the stomach and bash to the head weren’t his only injuries, he hadn’t even notice he was shot. Though right now the only thing he wanted to do was to see you.

“Captain…I want to see Y/n…I need to see her.”Rodolfo couldn’t even imagine what you might be thinking, what could be going on through your head.

Alejandro chuckled then patted his friends hand. “Talk all the time you need brother.”

He was going to take that advice to heart.

He barley remembered the car ride to his home, he was pumped with so much drugs the only thing he wanted to do was to sleep. What he did remember when he finally came to wad you crying and screaming at Vargas, large tears falling down your cheeks.

He forced himself out of the van, though his throat was dry he called out to you. Your eyes going wide with shock as you quickly rushed to his side. He would have been knocked over if it was not for the van that kept him upright.

Wrapping your arms around his waist you started to sob. You had thought the worse when you did not hear back, you thought the man you loved, the man you left the U.S for was dead. It still didn’t feel real as he held you, though your eyes went wide as you pulled back an inch. “I didn’t make it worse did I?”

Chucking, Rodolfo held back a grimace as he grasped your hand giving it a gentle kiss. “You did nothing wrong Mi Amore…I am just happy to be home to you and the little one.” His hand grazed your belly, you were just starting to show.

Biting your lip you nodded your head then let your arms wrap around your husbands waist. Standing on your toes you gave his cheek a light kiss. “I love you.”Turning to Alejandro you gave him a weak smile. “Thank you for saving him and…I’m sorry for sc-.”

Alejandro cut you off stepping towards you, the man always acting as a older bother. “You have nothing to apologize for. Take care you too, enjoy your recovery brother” he winked as you two slowly walked to the porch.Waving good bye to you both, he slipped into the van driving off.

Sighing you looked up at your husband then tugged him inside. “Let’s get the couch comfy, you deserve some TLC.”

“I married a wonderful woman.”

“And I married an amazing man.”

authors note: i don't fucking know man. i listened to "becoming the lastnames" and this happened.

content notes: rudy x reader. young, before he joins the military. talks of marriage. valeria and alejandro mention. mainly fluff. mentions of death.

becoming the lastnames

pre-military! rodolfo parra x reader

“Do you ever think we’ll make it?” He whispers, breaking through the shrouded dark, the cool air seeping through your skin.

“I don’t know,” You whisper.

He shifts beside you, the blanket wrinkling under his shifting weight. The night is cool; the stars are out; the city is far enough away to be forgotten but not to far away to become imaginary.

“Why do you say that?” Rodolfo asks, softly, no bite of argument on the back of his tongue.

“I mean, what if I end up just like my parents?”

“I’ll love you.”

That stupid, sweet, sticky, suffocating warmth seeps into your bones to your ribs, filling your throat with a burn.

“We could try to be like my parents,” he jokes, “we could work until we’re 40 then go insane.”

You laugh, breaking the warmth off your ribs, letting yourself melt into the blanket again. Your fingers tingle, cold.

“But what if you die?”

“Baby,” Rudy murmurs, half a scold and half a pity.

“I’m serious,” You whisper, barely making noise, the heat that chokes you catching cold air in your throat, “what then?”

“Then you can come talk to my headstone, I’ll listen.”

“Rudy.”

He laughs. You sound like his mother. His pinky wraps around yours, pulling your hand closer to him; he is warm.

“I don’t plan on dying.”

“But what if you do?”

“I just won’t.”

You sigh, defeated, that stupid boyish reasoning and manly cool. Infuriating.

“I’ll crawl back to you if anything happens.”

“If you die, I’ll kill Alej to keep you company.”

Macabre. He laughs.

“I’ll have to haunt you if you do that,” He smiles into his sigh, “If I don’t die, we’ll grow old together.”

“I’ll get all wrinkly.”

“Yeah, and so will I.”

“Marriage has always scared me,” You admit, his pinky tightening, keeping you close, “But I want to have a last love.”

“We can be just like my parents, then.”

You tighten your grip on him, his fingering wiggling out just to grab your whole hand, paw covering your hand.

“What about forever?” You ask.

“I don’t know anything about forever, but I know I wouldn’t mind spending it with you.”

“How can you be so confident?”

“I want to push Alejandro off a bridge sometimes, but I know I want to be his best friend till I die,” he starts, his voice soft, “and I feel like that with you.”

“You want to push me off a bridge?”

“I feel like the second part of the sentence.”

“I mean, I get it if you do, I can be annoying—”

“I don’t want to push you off a bridge—”

“I wouldn’t blame you if you did—”

He pushes his hand and yours against your mouth, gently, hushing you.

“I am not going to push you off a bridge.”

“That sounds like a Dateline intro,” You joke.

“I am not going to kill you.”

“Sounds like something a killer would say.”

Rodolfo dramatically sighs, pulling the hands back to him.

“I don’t think we have to wait on becoming insane like my parents, I think we’re already there.”

You chuckle, scooting closer to him, your shoulder touching his.

“Love can last a pretty good long while, you sure you want to give that to me?”

“I already did.”

You hum.

“Love doesn’t go away. It either sticks around or it was never there. It changes shape though, and it’s just about keeping shapes that go together.”

“You sure you want to go get shot, you could be a poet.”

“I don’t want to get shot, it’s just a part of the job description.”

“I don’t know, you seem to be a bit of a masochist.”

He squeezes your hand, a light little non-existent warning.

“Being a poet doesn’t pay too well, I don’t think. Unless we have World War III soon, then I can be sad and traumatized and publish 15 books.”

“If you make it.”

“I will,” Rodolfo lowers his voice, pulling you against him, head resting on his shoulder, “I will make it, and I’ll come home to you, and we can go crazy together until Alejandro tries to get us admitted.”

“If we pull him down with us, he can’t admit us.”

“That’s the plan.”

He rests his nose against the crown of your head, kissing your head softly, his arm around your shoulders warm as his fingers rub your skin, your body melting against his.

“Do you think Valeria and him will make it?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Confident.”

“They are oil and water. The flame is whatever they’re feeling. And it’s just whoever gets to the fire first and does something with it.”

“Are you comparing their relationship to a grease fire?”

“Yes.”

You pause, letting the words hang in the air for a moment.

“Have you been in a room with them for longer than 30 minutes?”

“I mean, yeah.”

His thumb rubs you.

“He just wants what he never got to have. And he doesn’t get that what he wants doesn’t have to be painful.”

“Do you think that’ll kill him?”

“It won’t kill either of them. It’ll just tattoo them.”

“Do you think they’ll kill each other?”

“They might try but that’ll just end in them being bickering skeletons.”

“Are they both that hot headed to where death won’t make them stop?”

“Probably. I don’t want to find out though.”

“I don’t either.”

There’s a bug, or something, making noise. The moon is high. The stars have shifted.

“We’ll be just like my parents, and we’ll grow old together, and when all of that is over, we’ll have forever. Does that sound alright?” Rudy asks, his warmth seeping into your skin.

“Yeah, I think that sounds alright.”

Y/n and Gaz teach Soap how to dance:

Ghost walks into the room, looking in confusion to see Gaz in front of Soap holding just below his waist, and Y/n behind Soap holding onto his hips, an upbeat song playing.

While Gaz and Y/n were moving in sync with the song, Soap...was not.

Gaz: Move your hips!

Soap: I am!

Y/n: Why're your hips so stiff!? Relax!

Soap: I'm trying!

Alejandro, standing of the side: hermano, bend your knees!

Price, who had been sitting on the couch, looking annoyed: they've been at this for 2 hours.

Rodolfo, sitting next to Price a big smile on his face: he has not improved!

alejandro would give such harsh punishments. usually something humilating or degrading like pet play or dragging you about by your collar before fucking your slicken pussy, then using your throat and pushing your head against the wall so you can't wriggle your head and you're forced to take it deep.

rodolfo, despite seeming calm and relaxed, wouldn't take your bratty behaviour one bit. he doesn't appreciate a naughty, dumb girl like you. he can go from being tender and adoring with you to absolutely rearranging your guts and painting your insides white. pulling your hair to meet your eyes and slamming into you while you look at him drunkenly. not drunk of alcohol, but drunk off of the sensation of his twitching cock against your womb. :3

random little things that i think the mw22 cast would like.

simon riley; “ghost”

web weaving. gathering quotes and lines from books and poetry and history, collecting lyrics and artwork, then putting them all together in the theme of a person, a place, a thing, a memory, something. creating a piece of artwork centered around a single person’s experience with something they can recall. sharing an experience, emotions, memories, without ever having to say a single word.

john mactavish; “soap”

baking using ingredients he grew. knowing every rain shower the cucumbers got, knowing the strawberries were just picked a few minutes ago. taking seeds and making something out of nothing using soil and water and the sunlight outside his home, taking that something and making it into something more, and then holding it out in offering and gift for the people he knows. making his own food, and providing it as a show of his care for the people he’s around.

john price

photography. capturing a single moment in memory forever, keeping memories and emotions stored somewhere safe, so that their faces and the place and the state of the world just then is, even as the world changes neverendingly, never forgotten, and can be easily remembered. being able to keep a moment he holds dear in his pocket, hidden from the cruelty of wars and military force. a log of his own life, so he never has to forget the things he loves.

kyle garrick; “gaz”

origami. taking such an ordinary sheet of paper and folding it over and over and turning it and folding and unfolding and then folding again, until a personally created, holdable piece of artwork rests in his hands, something he made to keep his hands busy, something he can look at and know that he made that, no matter how many tries it first took.

nikolai

astronomy. using the stars as his guide, knowing the story behind every constellation, being able to know exactly why the stars look as they do, knowing what lies beyond them and knowing what humanity is scraping their fingers along as they explore. flying at night and having more to think about than just his destination and the aircraft’s parameters or current performance. he knows that by heart. but the stars? that’s something else. knowing that he is made of stardust, and so is everyone else.

farah karim

musical theater. a story told through music, characters moving around stage, the different sets. the casts cycling through, the original recordings and covers and the sound of projecting voices echoing through the theater. the curtain calls, sound design, lights and tech crew. makeup and quick changes - over a dozen art forms coming together to create a single product.

kate laswell

making her own tea blends. taking care of plants to dry them in the sun when they’re ready, always leaving some for later. testing out what goes well with what, sharing the ones that taste the best with her wife. using natural medicinal properties for nausea, for headaches, dealing with cramps when they get bad. customizing teas to make the people she meets a tea that’s unique to that experience, every time.

rodolfo

archeology. seeing how people lived all those years ago, how humanity has progressed. ancient acts of kindness - the disabled living long lives, babies buried with the best that could be offered, pets being laid to rest with their owners, tombs telling stories about the people’s lives, gravestones showing how loved the individuals were. what daily life looked like what must have been forever ago. knowing that there will be kindness and love and war and good and bad and victories and everything that makes humanity what it is, for as long as humans have their feet on the ground.

alejandro vargas

marine science. the vastness of it all - the depth of the ocean and the strength of the currents. the diversity of life and how much such a simple substance, just water, does for the entire earth. the different terms, and especially coral reefs. how a formation worn away by time and current and sun and tides has become a central place of life and support for so many creatures. how colorful they are, how delicate, now beautiful and so incredibly necessary they are. how much there is to love about the planet he lives on.

philip graves

urban exploration. seeing everything that’s been left behind, abandoned by the people who were there before. admiring how nature has taken back these man-made structures, the wear and tear, the animals that call those places home, even if they were never meant to be there. the echoing of footsteps and voices, the light filtering through cracks in the ceiling. ivy and sunlight and dust, serenity and silence in a once bustling thing.
