Klitz With A K
Warnings: NSFT content!! Oral, bathroom sex, mentions of drinking, most of the fic takes place at a college party, smoking,
Pairing: Fem! Reader x Fuckboy! Klitz
Author's Note: I have had such bad Klitz brain rot over the past two weeks I swear to god that little fucker is in my brain eating any coherent thought I have left. I swear to god I blacked out while writing 90% of this fic. I imagine klitz looking a bit like Thaddius from Ballad of Jack and Rose or Martin from Taking Lives, basically just klitz with longer hair bc im a whore lmao At the moment it's a one shot BUT I'm literally insane and Klitz is always on my mind so don't be surprised if I do a part two to this fic at some point. Hope you guys enjoy fuckboy Klitz as much as I do.
Ps I have not known peace since learning that Klitz's full name is Timothy Klitz. I keep giggling thinking about it lmao.
Summary: College was supposed to be a fresh start. A place where you could forget about high school and move on with your life. It was not supposed to lead you to find out your high school crush is now a known fuck boy on your campus. But fuck you can't really deny it's happening when he's fucking you in the bathroom at a party. You might as well enjoy it.

When you moved to Connecticut to attend Yale, the last thing you expected to find while at a party was your old classmate. Especially not the same classmate that you had spent all of the high school hopeless pining after. 
Yet there he was sitting at the other end of the room. Even with how much he had changed since graduation, you couldn’t deny it was him. His brown hair was longer, shaggy locks coming down to his shoulders. He carried himself with confidence you had never seen in him when you were in high school. He still wore the same dorky glasses though. And you couldn’t say you knew of very many people with a name like his.
Klitz. Klitz with a K.
Still, it was hard to believe it was him. The Klitz you had known never went to parties, unless his friends dragged him along, and even then he was always off by himself. But this Klitz in front of you was sitting with two girls, openly flirting with both of them with a cigarette between his lips. This Klitz had a revolving door of pretty women constantly fawning over it. 
He’s still just as attractive as you remember though. The only difference is that he’s aware of it now. Christ, he’s practically dripping with sex appeal and entitlement. 
You know you should stop staring. In fact, you should just leave the party altogether–
Too late.
Klitz’s eyes are meeting yours and suddenly you can barely breathe. You couldn’t move an inch as he stared back at you, green eyes keeping you pinned in place as he took a drag from his cigarette. You shiver as he looks you up and down, and then meets your eyes again swiping his tongue over his bottom lip as he smirks at you. 
He winks and fuck you’re a goner.
Your red solo cup hits the ground, leftover alcohol splashing on your shoes. You hear him chuckle and you can feel his eyes still on you but you don’t look at him again as you turn on your heel and scramble off to the kitchen.
Your head is spinning and you aren’t sure if it's the alcohol or the fact that you’re pretty sure Klitz was checking you out. Had this happened in high school you would have been over the moon. But now it was pretty clear Klitz was becoming more and more of a fuckboy. And as much as you’d love to have a go with him you didn’t know if you could handle him using you and then tossing you aside. 
Christ this is crazy.
You exhale a shaky breath, leaning forward against the kitchen counter with your head in your hands. This has to be a fucking joke. You look up at the array of alcohol on the counter for a moment. Fuck it. Your reach over pulling a nearly empty bottle towards you, not even bothering to read the label as you start to pour what remains into a cup. One more drink and then home–
“You enjoying the party?” A smooth voice calls behind you and you yelp, nearly dropping your cup again as you spin around to face the stranger.--
Yea this is definitely some kind of sick joke.
Klitz stands a few inches away from you leaning back against the other counter chuckling, “Sorry I didn’t mean to scare you,” he paused, letting his eye wander just as they had in the main area of the party and you shiver under his gaze, “I’m Klitz… with a K.” 
Oh.
He doesn’t recognize you.
Should you tell him you went to the same high school?
No. No. That would just make this awkward.-- well more awkward that it already was.
You fidget nervously with the plastic cup in your hand, biting on the inside of your cheek as he watches you expectantly, “I… I um…”God, you are so fucking screwed, “ I’m…(Y/N)”
Smooth. Real fucking smooth.
“Pretty name for a pretty girl.” he drawls, openly ogling you. 
You giggle nervously, taking a sip of your drink in an attempt to cover the red flush on your cheeks. You peek over the rim of the cup, nearly choking when you notice he’s still eyeing you up. 
“Haven’t seen you around here before, you a student or visiting a friend?” 
You shakily set the cup down at your side, “I’m a  student.” 
He hums in approval and pushes off the counter, taking a step towards you, standing up straight so you have to crane your neck a bit to look at him, “Ya know (Y/N)” It should really be illegal for your name to sound that good coming from his mouth, “I saw you looking at me earlier.” 
You freeze up instantly, eyes going wide as you stare up at him, “Oh.. I… Um… I’m sorry… I didn’t… I wasn’t trying to–” 
He chuckles and takes another step forward until he’s got you trapped between him and the kitchen island, “Don’t be sorry,” he leans forward over you, pressing his palms down on the countertop on either side of you, his voice falls to a low whisper, “I like when pretty girls look at me.” 
This is not happening. There is no fucking way this is happening. You have to be fucking dreaming.
“I just wanna know why you were looking at me.” he smiles, reaching up with one hand to brush your hair out of your face.
“Wh..why?” 
He nods, smile curving to one side into a smirk as he hums, “Mmhm…I need to know if there was a reason a pretty girl like you was looking at me, so I can decide if there’s anything I can do for you.” 
You whine before you can even stop yourself and he groans, “Come on pretty girl, tell me what you want for me.” he leans a bit closer, lips ghosting against the underside of your jaw, “I promise I won’t bite.” He kisses your jaw and you can feel him smirking, “unless you want me to.” 
Oh god.
He chuckles, breath tickling your neck before he leans up again to look you in the eyes, “I already told you, baby, it's Klitz, not God.” You whimper, nodding mindlessly at him. Christ, you wanna give in so badly–
“(Y/N)?” 
You jolt, noticing your friend standing in the kitchen staring at you. Thank god for Hayden’s shitty timing. Klitz shifts and you slide away from him, offering him a quiet apology.
“Sorry if I’m interrupting something,” Hayden grins tossing you a look that told you she’d be asking for details later, “Jayce is offering us a ride home since he just got off work and I figured it’d be best to take him off on the offer before either of us got too trashed.” 
You nod, shuffling to make sure you had everything you needed in your purse before glancing back at Klitz. He leans back against the island, smirking in that self-entitled way that would have annoyed you on any other guy. 
Hayden tugs your purse out of your arms, tossing it over her shoulder, “I’ll let you say goodbye to your…friend” she glances at Klitz, clearly checking him out, and then back at you with a cheeky grin, and you go bright red, “I’ll wait at the door for you, don’t take too long.” 
She doesn’t even give you a chance to respond before she’s kissing your cheek and rushing out of the room giggling. She was never going to let you live this down.
You turn to Klitz, nervously fidgeting with the hem of your skirt, “Sorry about that”
“No worries.” He chuckles, smirking at you, “She seems… Nice.” 
You laugh nervously and nod wordlessly, wishing you hadn’t let Hayden run off like that. You were used to being the one making boys like Klitz nervous, not the other way around. 
He laughs, “Probably shouldn’t keep you waiting.” 
You nod again but don’t move.
He reaches a hand up, combing long fingers through your hair to get it out of your face, “I’ll see you around pretty girl.” he leans down and presses a kiss to your jaw and you shiver, mind going blank again.
You hear him chuckle as he shuffles past you and it takes you a few moments to finally regain control of your own body as you stand frozen in the middle of the kitchen. 
Wow.
It doesn’t take long for you to finally find Hayden, and when you do she’s already grinning, tugging you to her side before you can blink. Who was that guy? He seemed totally into you! Please tell me you got his number! (Y/N) come on I need details! You spend most of the drive home trying to ignore her questions (as well as Jayce’s once he catches wind of the situation.)
You decide it probably won’t ever happen again. Especially with the reputation, Klitz had built for himself at Yale. He’d probably forget about you as soon as a different pretty girl and for a while you were almost positive that he really had forgotten about you. 
Until you started running into him on campus. And he was just as insistent about flirting with you as he had been at the party. It was driving you absolutely insane. It was taking everything out of you to reject his advances. 
First it was while you were on the way to class.
You were in a rush despite knowing you had plenty of time to make it to your next class, when you crashed into someone in the hallway. You fell hard on your ass, dropping your bag and all its contents around you. You were apologizing before you even looked over to see who you had run into.
“Fuck–Im so sorry–”
“Ya know pretty girl, when I said i’d see you around, it didn’t mean you had to try so hard to get my attention.” Klitz was kneeling in front of you, handing you one of your books as you gaped at him.
“I–I wasn’t—I mean– I didn’t—”
He chuckled, gathering your things and placing them neatly into your bag before shuffling to help you up, “I’m only teasing.” He brushed a few stray hairs out of your face, “You look cute when you get embarrassed.” 
He glanced down at his shitty watch for a moment, frowning and then looked at you with another smirk, “I gotta get to class, you think you can make it without running into anyone else?” 
You nodded and he chuckled, “atta girl.” he ruffled your hair and moved around you, winking as he walked away, “Hope to run into you again soon.” 
You’d convinced yourself it was a fluke. And that now he really would forget about you.
And then it happened again, this time at the library while you were waiting for Jayce and Hayden to meet you to study. 
You had your nose stuffed in a book when you felt someone sit down next to you and you didn’t look up as you spoke to them, thinking it was Jayce or Hayden, “You’re late.” you muttered
“Oh? I didn’t realise you were expecting me.” 
You stared at him over the top of your book, eyes going wide when you realised it was Klitz sitting next to you. 
God you really had the worst luck.
“Shit–I thought–I thought you were my friend.” 
He smirked, tipping his chair back a bit, stretching his long legs out under the table, “You don’t look happy to see me.”
You sputtered, shaking your head as you tossed your book onto the table, “No! No I wasn’t–I just wasn’t expecting you– fuck– I’m sorry.” 
He chuckled, leaning forward again in his chair, tilting his head and peering over his thin glasses frames at you, “God you are so fun to mess with, ya know that?” His hand brushed over your knee and you were almost positive you were going to pass out. 
This time it was Jayce who interrupted.
“Dude I’m late one time and you replace me for studying? I thought we had something special (Y/N)”  
Klitz looked up for a moment glancing at Jayce and then grinning at you as he watched your face go bright red. Jayce laughed sitting down across from you and gesturing towards Klitz, “So you gonna introduce me to my replacement?” 
You stared at him and then at Klitz, whose hand was still on your leg, fingers tracing little shapes over the bare skin of your thigh, “Uh–right–yea– Jayce this is Klitz– Klitz this is my friend Jayce.” 
Jayce snorted, “Your name is Klitz?” 
God here it comes–
Klitz smirked, fingers toying with the hem of your skirt as he spoke “With a K.” 
Fuck that should not have the effect on you that it does.
“Pleasure to meet you Klitz with a K.” 
“Likewise Jayce.” Klitz stood suddenly, lip twitching into a smirk at the way your knee-jerked when his hand pulled away from you, “Listen I promised to meet some friends in a bit so I’ve gotta bounce but uh I hope we run into each other again.” 
You nod, giving him a stupid dopey smile as he walks away. Across from you Jayce laughs, “Jesus you’ve got it bad. When are you gonna just screw the guy?”
“Shut up Jayce” 
Okay– maybe it wasn’t a fluke– a coincidence at the very least. 
But it just kept happening. And each time Klitz got bolder.
He’d run into in the campus cafe, tease you about being so clumsy when you stumbled and spilled a bit of your coffee on his oversized shirt. And then he’d spin the situation around on you, offer to buy you a new coffee if you promised to sit with him and he’d spend most of the time flirting with you, thriving on every reaction you gave him.
He’d meet you in the library sometimes during his free periods, at first it was a one time thing after running into you while you were waiting for Jayce and Hayden but eventually he started swinging by more often. He told you it was because he wanted to study but he rarely actually studied during the times he was with you. 
You’d be lying if you said you weren’t enjoying spending time with him. Even when he flirted constantly and left you embarrassed and flustered. Sometimes you even caught glimpses of the Klitz you used to know, the one who fumbled when he talked to women and got all nervous if you complimented him. 
Each time he smiled at you. Each time he snorted when he laughed at something you said. Each time you watched his face go red when you managed to flirt back. Each time he smirked when he made you flustered, it all made it harder and harder to say no to him.
It didn’t help either that your friends kept encouraging you to stop fighting it and let him fuck your brains out. 
God, you wanted to give in so fucking badly. You’d thought your stupid crush would fade away with time, especially once you realized how much Klitz had changed. But it had only increased since getting to know the new Klitz along with reintroducing yourself to the old Klitz.
You couldn’t help feeling like you wouldn’t be able to keep your hands off of him for much longer. 
And now you were at another party and you were doing a shit job at avoiding him. You couldn’t find Jayce or Hayden so you locked yourself in the bathroom on the second floor of the frat house the party was being hosted at. 
>>HEY!den: boytoy???
>>Y/N: where the hell r u guys?
>>JayJay: wut aren’t u glad u can have alone time with your boytoy ;)
>>Y/N: Jay i am begging u 2 stop calling him that
>>HEY!den: omg do u have a boyfriend u didn’t tell me about??? 
You loved Hayden and Jayce but god they really could be annoying. You lifted your red solo cup from the counter, taking a quick sip of it before glancing down at your phone again.
>>HEY!den: WAIT!!!
>>Y/N: oh jesus
>>HEY!den: OMG DID YOU FINALLY SCREW THAT CLITS GUY
>>JayJay: HAYDEN OMG
>>JayJay: U R SO DUMB I LITARLLY LOVE YOU LMAO
>>Y/N: first of all I rlly hate u guys
>>HEY!den: luv u 2 babes lol
>>Y/N: second of all his name is Klitz
>>JayJay: yea with a K ;)))))
>>HEY!den: oh yeah Klitzy ;)
>>Y/N: signing off assholes <3
You rolled your eyes at the final message shoving your phone into your pocket after sending one final message.
Christ how had you ever gotten yourself into this situation. You sigh, massaging the bridge of your nose until you heard a knock at the door barely audible behind the vibrations of music playing at the party. You don’t answer at first, hoping they’ll go away. 
They knock again and you huff, yanking the door open, ready to tell whoever it is at the door to find another bathroom. The words die in your throat as soon as your eyes meet a pair of green eyes behind thin metal-framed glasses. 
Fuck.
He smirks, eyes dragging down your body catching on the little skirt and crop top Hayden had convinced you to wear, “Mind if I join you? Parties getting a little too loud for my tastes.” 
No, you think.
“Yea–Yea of course,” you say, stepping aside and allowing him to enter the little room before shutting the door again. 
He walks to the other end of the bathroom and glances out the little window above the bathtub for a moment before shoving it open. 
“You mind if I smoke?”
You shrug, “Go for it.” 
He nods and pulls a half-empty pack of cigarettes and a little blue lighter. He slips a cigarette between his lips, shoving the pack back into his pocket. You watch his hands as he flicks the lighter and a burst of flames rises, enveloping the tip of the cigarette for a moment. 
He lets the cigarette sit between his lips, taking a slow drag of it as he drops the lighter into his pocket. Your eyes dart between his hands and his lips, breath stuttering when he catches you staring. 
He chuckles as he takes a step back towards you, holding the cigarette between his index and middle finger, lifting it towards you, “You smoke?” 
You nod and he stops in front of you, lifting his hand to tilt your face up to look at him. He taps your jaw and lifts the cigarette to your lips, humming in approval when you obediently open your mouth. 
You peer up at him through your lashes as you take a breath in, never breaking eye contact with Klitz until he pulls the cigarette from your lips, “Atta girl” he hums, tapping your cheek again and brushing a few stray hairs from your face as you exhale, letting the smoke fill the space between the two of you.
He smiles, taking another drag of his cigarette his other hand still cradling your cheek, thumb tracing the curve of your lips as he spoke, “Ya know, I was actually starting to worry that you were avoiding me.” 
“Avoiding you–I wasn’t–I wasn’t avoiding you;” you laugh nervously, leaning back against the counter as he crowds you just as he had that first time in the kitchen. 
He hums, “Hmmmm, then what are you doing hiding in here instead of having fun with everyone else?”
He watches as you go still in front of him, taking another long drag from his cigarette. You don’t respond at first, still trying your damnedest to ignore the thoughts racing in your head. He stares back, watching you closely, lip twitching, tugging into a smirk.
“Admit it, pretty girl, you were hiding from me.” he brushes his thumb over your bottom lip, grinning when your tongue just barely swipes against the pad of his thumb, “Question is, why were you hiding?” 
You stare up at him with wide eyes shaking your head, “I wasn’t hiding on purpose–I just—needed a break from the party that’s all”
He snorts, “Really?”
You nod feverishly praying to whichever god that will listen that he believes you and he chuckles shaking his head at you, licking his lip as he drags his eyes up and down your body again, “Remember what I asked the first time we met?” 
For a moment you’re caught off guard thinking he’s talking about high school. 
How the fuck were you supposed to remember what he said to you over 4 years ago.--
And then you remember that night in the kitchen and your face goes bright red.
“I just wanna know why you were looking at me.” he smiles, reaching up with one hand to brush your hair out of your face.
“Wh..why?” 
He nods, smile curving to one side into a smirk as he hums, “Mmhm…I need to know if there was a reason a pretty girl like you was looking at me, so I can decide if there’s anything I can do for you.” 
“You know what I think?” he hums, brushing hair out of your face.
You nod, breath stuttering as his hand snakes down around your waste pressing you flush against him, “I think,”  he pauses, taking one final drag from his cigarette before he flicks the faucet on behind you, stubbing the cigarette out in the basin, and then tosses the butt under the steady stream of water before bringing his attention back down to you, “ I think that you want me–just as badly as I want you” 
You should deny it. There was no way this was going to end well. Messing around with fuckboys never ended well— especially not when said fuck boy was your old high school crush. 
But you don’t deny it. You don’t even say a word. You just lean up, fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt as you pull him down to kiss you. 
You’d imagined kissing him—but god you had not expected him to fucking whimper when you kissed him.  
He tastes like cigarettes and shitty beer. But mostly he tastes like spring rain and cinnamon sugar and god you just wanted more of him. 
 “--fuck” He whimpers into the kiss, pulling you as close as he possibly can. You whine back, shifting to sit up on the counter, pulling him to stand between your legs. 
You nip at his bottom lip, grinning when he grunts in annoyance, hands gripping at your hips as he pulled away from the kiss, “--fuck–baby” you try to kiss him again but he shakes his head and pants, “--wait baby—wait—”
“Ple–please” you whine back, desperately trying to pull him closer, pouting when he shakes his head at you.
“I just—I just need to make sure you’re okay with this” he pants, moving one hand to cradle the back of your head, tugging a bit at your hair to make you look up at him.
His glasses sit at an odd angle, his cheeks are flushed bright red, and – god he looks just as desperate as you feel. 
Fuck it. This is happening.
You tug at his shirt, letting out a breathy whine, “Ple-please–fuck–please Klitz.” 
He smiles, pressing a kiss to your cheek, “come on pretty girl–tell me what you want and I’ll give it to you” 
You whimper, feeling the imprint of his cock pressed into your thigh, “--dammit– please Klitz– I want—I want you please” It doesn’t take much more for him to take the hint and lean forward, fingers tangling into your hair as he pulled you into another kiss. 
Fuck
He kissed you like he needed it to survive.
He pinned you to the counter, one hand at your hip and the other at the back of your neck. You were on cloud fucking nine and he’d barely done anything yet. You grappled at his shoulders and curled your fingers into his hair, tugging lighty and savoring the little gasps Klitz offered you. 
“Christ you’re fucking gorgeous,” he pants, kissing along your jaw and down your neck, sucking little bruises onto your skin, “Haven’t–fuck–haven’t been able to—to get you out of my head” 
You whine breathlessly, unable to fully form words, “You–-you—you think about–about me?” He chuckles, and you shiver at the feeling of his breath on your neck.
“Mmhm” he hums as he moves his hand from your hip and deftly works his nimble fingers beneath your crop top, “Fuck–” he tugs at the shirt a bit, “Can I? Please  I wanna see you.”
You nod, shuffling backward a bit on the counter to help him pull your crop top off over your head. He whimpers as soon as he catches a glimpse of your bra and you were suddenly very glad you’d let Hayden pick out your outfit for the party. 
“Fuck–you’re just–you’re just so fucking pretty,” he murmurs, lurching forward to catch your lips in a bruising kiss. You whine into the kiss, grasping at his shirt and pulling him closer shivering as he manages to unclip your bra and toss it aside with your top. 
He leaves a trail of kisses from your lips, along your jaw, and down your neck until he reaches your bare breasts. He stares at them for a moment, and you can hear his breath catching in an airy whine as he palms at your chest.
You aren’t even shocked at the realization that he’s definitely got a thing for tits. You’d seen him ogle at your chest more than enough times for it to be a pretty easy guess. 
Still, it makes you a little giddy to know he gets so distracted by you and you barely have to do anything. 
“Fuck baby, you have the prettiest fucking tits, you know that?” 
You can’t help but blush a little at the admission laughing breathlessly, “Thanks”
He grins, leaning forward to kiss your collage bone, dragging his lips down leaving bruises all over your chest, pinching your nipple between his index finger and thumb. You whine arching into his touch, as his free hand falls between your thighs, ghosting over your panties.
“Baby you have no fucking idea how long I’ve been waiting for this” he whispers before dragging his tongue down between your breasts.
He whines nearly as loud as you do when he cups his hand over your panties, “Christ you’re already soaked.” 
“Klitz–please” you whine, rolling your hips into his hands and he hums taking a moment to just feel the heat of your cunt through your soaked panties as he kisses down your stomach, stopping above your hip.
“Fuck please–please I wanna taste you” he whines, sucking a few small bruises over your hip as he slowly bunches your skirt up, “Come one lemme taste you pretty girl” 
He knows exactly what he’s doing, dipping his fingers beneath the waistband of your panties as he waits for your response. And fuck if it doesn’t drive you wild to hear him begging to put his mouth on you. 
You nod frantically whimpering as you comb your fingers through his hair, “Ple–please Klitz” 
He’s shoving your legs apart in an instant, flipping your skirt up and tugging your pretty pink panties down to your ankles, letting them fall to the ground.
“Fuck baby you sound so good saying my name.” he groans combing through his hair with his fingers, pulling it back into a messy ponytail at the back of his head. You’re almost sure you’re going into cardiac arrest when he looks up at you through fogged-up glasses with his hair tied back and a little smug grin on his lips.
He sucks another bruise above your hip as he moves his hands up and down your outer thighs. You stare down at him, chest rising and falling with stuttered breaths. He moves one hand between your legs and you nearly fall forward when you feel his fingers just barely ghosting over your cunt.
He laughs looking up at you for a second and then down between your legs, eyes wide with excitement as he runs his fingers through your slick folds,“Fuck I bet you taste good” he whispers, pressing a kiss to your inner thigh just as his thumb brushes over your clit making you gasp.
“Kl-klitz” 
 “Shit–pretty girl–this all for me?” He chuckles, mouthing at your inner thigh as he gathers your slick along his fingers.
He drags an answer out of you easily as he presses his thumb to your clit, “--Fuck–yes please–” 
Christ, he’s such a fucking asshole.
He interrupts you with a shit-eating grin as he moves his thumb in a tight circle over your clit, “Don’t worry baby I’ll give you what you want.” 
You don’t even have to wait for an explanation before he’s got his head between your thighs, tongue swiping up along your folds until it catches on your clit. You curl forward, fingers tangling into his hair as you try to close your thighs around his head. 
He pulls back from your clit, “As much as I love being crushed between your thighs I can’t do much if you suffocate me.” he teases, pinching your hip until you open your legs.
His lips are back on your cunt in a matter of seconds and you fight the urge to close your trembling thighs around his head again. Fuck–its unfair how quickly he has you coming apart.
All it takes is a swipe of his tongue against your clit and his fingers teasing at your entrance and your mind goes absolutely blank. He barely has to try very hard to slip his fingers inside of you, groaning against your sensitive clit when your cunt tightens around his fingers.
He laps at your cunt like a man dying of thirst. He presses his fingers inside of you and whimpers every time you tug on his hair. He hums in approval and lets you buck your hips freely, practically begging you to smother him. 
You’d never had a man so dedicated to making you feel good before. It was a rare treat to find a guy who liked eating a girl out.-- It was rarer still to find a guy who was actually good at it. And fuck– Klitz is fucking amazing at it. 
Klitz is also a fucking tease.
Because he knows he’s good at making you feel good. He knows exactly how to curl his fingers inside of you and trace his tongue in tight circles over your clit. He knows he’s driving you absolutely wild. And he fucking loves it.
Fuck–
He presses a third finger inside of you and hums against your clit, “God I fucking knew you’d taste amazing.” he groans and pulls back slightly, sucking a bruise into your inner thigh. You can feel him grinning as he curls his fingers inside of you and it annoys the shit out of you how much he turns you on.
You tug on his hair, smirking when he whines in response, “fucking–stop teasing”  
He lets out a shaky breath and curls his fingers into the sweet spot that has you nearly sobbing as he smirks, “You tellin' me what to do pretty girl?” 
Your words come out in breathy gasps, “So wha–what if i am?”
He snickers, leaning forward to suck hard on your clit, humming in approval when you try you to shove him closer, “Aw come on, don't be like that,” he curls his fingers again, pressing deeper, “you just gotta ask nicely and I’ll do whatever you want.” he promises, smiling sweetly at you, chin soaked with your slick.
You whine, shaking your head as you tug hard on his hair, shoving his face back down between your thighs. He smiles against your cunt but stops moving his fingers, offering you nothing but lazy kisses to your clit. 
Fucking asshole.
You buck your hips forward whining at him and he pinches your hip, lifting his head, tilting his chin up at you, “Come on pretty girl,” he leaves his fingers inside of you, pressing his other hand against your hip, making it harder for you to buck into him, as he clicks his tongue at you, “I’m not gonna help you if you’re not nice to me.” 
You pout, biting your lip for a moment refusing to give him what he wants until he starts to pull his fingers from your cunt and you let out a choked sob, “Pl–please Klitz” 
He grins, humming in approval and pressing a kiss above your clit, “Please what? Come on pretty girl, you can do better than that can’t you?” 
“Fuck you–” 
He interrupts you with a quick curl of his fingers and his lips against your clit and it doesn’t take much more for you to give him the response he’s looking for.
“Please–please Klitz–-please I’m so close–” you pause and he gives you an approving hum, encouraging you to continue, “Please–I need–I need to cum—please Klitz—please let me cum”
Mercifully he doesn’t make you beg much more before he’s got his mouth on your clit and his fingers driving into your cunt, pulling sweet little cries out of you as he drags you to the edge. He gives you a pleased groan as he swirls his tongue in tight circles around your sensitive clit. 
You curse, dragging your hands from his hair and grappling at his shirt in a pathetic attempt to ground yourself. You can’t even tell if you’re trying to pull him closer or push him away at this point. All you know is that you’re dangerously close to going over the edge—
Time stops for a second and suddenly you’re falling, repeating Klitz’s name as you squeeze around his fingers. You’re a fucking mess, babbling while he laps greedily at your cunt.. 
“Fuck baby you taste so fucking good–” he groans.
Distantly you notice that he’s moved the hand that isn’t busy fucking you through your climax down between his leg to palm at his cock through his jeans.  He’s so turned on by the act of pleasuring you that he can’t stop the rocking of his hips desperately seeking the wet heat of your cunt. And fuck if that doesn’t send your mind into a haze.
It takes you what feels like hours to claw your way back to reality, fingers shakily carding through his hair as you try to pull him away. As much as you want him to keep finger fucking you, you also want to cum on his cock at least once before the end of the night. This was likely the only chance you’d ever have to fuck him, and you were determined to get your fill. 
Still, he refuses to pull away from you, tongue tracing lazy circles around your clit as you jerk forward a bit from overstimulation, “--Fuck–fuck–Klitz—Klitz please—I want–”
He pulls back a bit, replacing his tongue on your clit with his thumb, as he looks up at you with a smug grin, chin dripping with your slick, “--fuck pretty girl–go on tell me what you want–” 
“I want–I want you to fuck me–please” 
He must be as desperate as you are because he’s standing in an instant, crashing his lips against yours so hard you fall back slightly, choking on a sob when his thumb drags over your clit and his fingers slip out with a slick popping sound. You can taste yourself on his tongue, hot and heavy with need.
He groans when you pull him closer, hands moving away from his hair and wandering down his chest. You can’t help but smile into the kiss, nipping at his bottom lip when your hand grazes over his cock through his jeans. 
“Fuck baby you-”
You don’t even let him finish the statement before you’re unbuckling his belt and shoving your hand down his pants. He nearly sobs when you curl your hand around the base of his cock. And fuck– he really did live up to the stereotypes of tall skinny guys with massive cocks. 
Its a bit of an odd angle but you ignore the tension in your forearm in favor of watching him throw his head back and whine as you pump your hand along with his cock.You curl your other hand into the front of his shirt and drag him a little closer, taking the opportunity to kiss along his jaw and run your tongue down his neck. 
“Shit–you–you’re trouble aren’t you?” he laughs and you suck a bruise into his neck, grinning when you feel his adam’s apple bob as he swallows a shaky whine.
You chuckle, kissing down his neck and sucking another bruise into his collarbone, “If I’m–trouble what does that make you?”
He laughs, “It makes me–”, you interrupt him with a squeeze of the base of his cock making his next words come out in gasps, “It makes me–fuck–makes me really fucking horny.” You giggle, pulling him back down to kiss you again, consuming each of his breathy gasps as you work for your hand up and down his cock, spreading beads of his precum along the length.
“You–you got a condom?” you whisper between kisses, “I want–I want you to fuck me” 
His eyes go wide as he pants, “You-you're gonna let me fuck you?”
All it takes is your quiet nod and another squeeze of his cock and he’s shoving his hand into his pocket and pulling out a silvery little wrapper. You grin, a little dazed as you pluck the wrapper from his hands. You don’t even have to direct him to take off his pants before he’s frantically shoving them down his legs, nearly tripping in the process and forcing you to release his cock for a moment. 
You can’t even stop yourself from whining when your eyes fall to his cock as it curves up against his pelvis, tip sticky with pre-cum. Fuck–he’s really fucking big
“See something you like?” he chuckles, hands brushing over your thighs, once again leaving you flustered and at his mercy. Of course, you couldn’t possibly expect to have the upper hand for long. 
Smug little shit–
“What’s the matter, pretty girl? I thought you wanted me to fuck you?” His hand is back between your thighs while the other curls behind your back and you nearly drop the condom when his fingers brush over your clit.
“I–I do–I just–” you pause biting the inside of your cheek, “You’re just–um–fuck–you’re gonna let this go to your head–but—you’re bigger than most guys I’ve been with.”
You expect him to laugh, or say something cheesy like I’ll make it fit like most guys would. 
Instead, he smiles and presses a kiss to your forehead, dipping his fingers between your folds, “You choose how far we go pretty girl– I’m good if this is all we do– fuck I’d be willing to get on me knees and spend the rest of tonight with my mouth on you if that’s what you want.” 
Somehow it’s the sweetest thing a guy has ever said to you in this situation. 
You stare up at him for a moment. The idea of him back on his knees between your thighs again does appeal to you but if this is the only time you ever get to do this with him you want to be able to say you know what it feels like to have his cock inside of you. 
You shake your head, bringing the condom wrapper to your mouth, tearing it open with your teeth while maintaining eye contact with him. “I said I wanted you to fuck me didn’t I?” 
He licks his lips and chuckles,” Yea, you did.”
You pull the condom from the wrapper and toss it aside, dragging your hands down to his cock, watching his reactions as you carefully roll the condom over his cock. He bites his bottom lip, swallowing a whine as you roll the condom inch by inch onto his cock, giving the base a squeeze once you reach it. 
You lean forward, other hand twisting into his shirt, dragging him down until your lips are just barely touching, “Show me what has all the girls talking about you all the time.”
“Fuck–” he groans, “Fuck–alright–fuck–I’ve gotta prep you–I don’t–I don’t want to hurt you” 
You nod as he shits to lift your legs to wrap around your waist, carefully working his fingers back into your cunt. You are reminded of how fucking good at this he is with every swipe of his thumb over your clit. It's absolutely unfair how good he is at it but god it feels good to have his fingers stretching you out.
Your hand trembles as you try to pump his cock in time with his fingers curling inside of you. nips at the underside of your jaw, groaning when you squeeze the base of his cock. Once or twice you manage to make him lose focus. But he’s quick to gain the upper hand, curling his fingers against the sweet spot that makes your thighs tremble and your mind go blank. 
“Fuck–Klitz–I need you now– please” you whine, bucking your hips and tugging on his shirt, desperately trying to drag him closer to you.
His fingers stop moving for a moment as he stares at you, trying to gauge your reaction, “Fuck baby– are you sure? I don’t want to hurt you.” 
You nod, pulling your hands away from his cock to drag him closer, “Please–’m ready–I need you–” 
He looks like he wants to argue for a moment but it’s clear he’s just as at your mercy as you are at his. Finally, he groans, rutting against your thigh as he curls his fingers inside of you one last time before pulling them out with a wet popping sound.
He helps you lift your legs around his waist, and guides his cock slowly between your thighs, groaning when he presses the tip to your entrance, pausing with a choked gasp, “Fuck–are you sure— we don’t have to–we don’t have to do this–” 
You tremble as you reach up curling your fingers into his hair, “Please– I promise-–promise m’ ready—just—just go slow, okay? “ 
“Fuck yea–yea I’ll go— I’ll go slow” he promises with a gasp.
He makes good on that promise, pressing into you as slowly and as gently as he can, cradling the back of your head while the other grasps at your hip. Still, every inch of him pressing deeper into your tight heat drags the air out of your lungs. 
“Fuuuuuuuck” he nearly sobs when he finally bottoms out, “fuck—fuck– you’re so–fucking tight–oh my fucking god— I knew—I fucking knew you’d feel good.” 
You can’t even think, let alone speak with your cunt clenching around his cock as you try to get used to the feeling of him inside of you. He’s so deep you swear you can feel him in your stomach. All you can do is babble incoherently at him, repeating his name like it’s the only word you know. You aren’t even fully aware of it when you start rolling your hips trying to get him to start moving and he has to grip your hip a little harder to get you to stop moving. 
“Fuck–please—please fuck me Klitz--please” you whine, trying to drag him closer, forcing him to just fucking move already.
Bless Klitz for his ability to be patient with you even when you’re being a whiney brat.
“Are you sure baby? I don’t wanna hurt you–fuck–” he looks at you and you know immediately that he’d stop in an instant if you told him to. But you don’t want him to stop. You want him to fuck you until all you can’t remember is his name.  You want to be able to feel him long after he’s done with you. 
“Please– I want this–-I need it—” you gasp, pouting a bit when he still doesn’t look convinced. It takes everything out of you to focus on forming words correctly as you bring your hands to the sides of his face forcing him to look you in the eyes, “Klitz—Klitz I trust you—- I know you won’t hurt me—Please baby I need you so bad” 
He stares into your eyes searching for any sign that you might want to back out, and when he doesn’t find any he curses, pulling his hips back with a groan until only the tip of his cock remains. 
Just as you’re about to try begging him again his lips are crashing into yours in a bruising kiss, swallowing your whine when he drives his cock back into your cunt, dragging the air from your lungs all over again. He pulls your hips forward, bringing you to sit a little closer to the edge of the counter. 
You can’t even tell which one of you making more noise at this point. His whimpers and whines are nearly as pathetic as yours. “Fuck pretty girl–-you’re fucking—perfect–so fucking perfect” 
He kisses along your jaw, and down your neck tracing over the bruises he’d already left on you. One of his hands remains on his hips, while the other palms at your breasts. He moans and you aren’t sure if it's from your cunt squeezing around cock or the feeling of your tits warm under his palm. It’s probably both.
You feel a bit giddy knowing you hold any power over him at all. But it’s difficult to focus any energy on using that power when he’s driving his cock into you and dragging you closer and closer to your second orgasm. All you can do is try to pull him closer, your cunt fluttering with every slow drag of his cock driving in and out of you. 
“So glad—glad you let me fuck you– been fucking waiting for this” he admits, mouthing at your collarbone and pinching your nipple between his index finger and thumb, “god—fucking–I don’t deserve this—don’t deserve you like this–fuck” every word is punctuated by his cock driving back into your tight heat until you’re choking on it. 
You fumble a bit, grappling for purchase on the back of his shirt, fingernails digging into his back and making him hiss, his hips stuttering a bit nearly losing his pace. 
“Klitz—fuck—should have—should have let you do this sooner” your head rolls back and your lucky Klitz is quick to move his hand off of your hip to curl around the back of your head making sure his knuckles hit the mirror instead of your face.
“Fuck–god–You made me wait all this time?” he smirks peering at you through fogged up glasses, “I should make you beg to cum for making me wait so long” 
You laugh breathlessly, looking at him with a dazed smile, “You want me to beg?” you clench around his cock, grinning when his hips stutter a bit, “I’ll beg–If that’s what you want–come on tell me what you want pretty boy”
He whimpers–and fuck you’re really starting to realize how much you like it when he whimpers like that as he pulls you forward and kisses you hard as he drags his hand from your breasts down between your thighs, “I want–fuck—I wanna feel you cum on my cock—”
You grin, sucking his bottom lip between your teeth and dragging your fingernails along his back, bucking your hips to meet his steady thrusts, “Then make me cum–”
He doesn’t even wait for you to finish the sentence before he’s driving his cock into you hard and tracing tight circles over your clit. You’re about to ask if he’s close to cumming too, but you get your answer as soon as you notice his thrusts falter a bit.
He drags you back over the edge in a matter of seconds, but this time he’s falling with you, babbling and cursing as his hips stutter and you cry out his name, holding him as close as you can, rolling your hips to meet his erratic thrusts. 
Your cunt spasms and once again your vision blurs and time slows as he fucks you through your shared climax. Klitz is relentless, driving his cock into you even as he struggles to stay standing, body curling over yours as he presses his face into your neck.
And fuck–the sounds he makes as he spills into the condom are enough to make you dizzy. He says your name like a prayer, dragging your hips against his and mouthing at your neck, sucking a few more bruises along the way, choking on a whine everytime he feels you squeeze around him.
“Fuck–Klitz” you babble as his thumb grazes back over your oversensitive clit, “Please—s’too much–please” 
You trust Klitz to stop when you ask him to– more than you’d trusted any other guy, And he stops almost as soon as the words pass between the two of you, hand instantly moving to hold your hip as he looks at you with wide eyes. You can feel him trembling as he tries to stay still.
“Sorry–fuck– I didn’t hurt you did I?” he asks, voice cracking from overexertion. 
You shake your head, reaching a hand back over his shoulders to pull the pony tail from his hair, “No–’m just—just really sensitive” you cradle his face, smiling when he leans into your palm.
“Fuck– can i just–can i just stay like this for a minute” he whispers, whining a bit when you cunt spasms again and you nod, dragging him down to meet you in a kiss. 
It takes a few minutes for the both of you to calm down and even once you’ve come down from the high of your orgasm you still feel like your stuck in a fog. But mostly you just feel really fucking good–sensitive and shaky—but good.
Eventually he shifts up a little bit, pressing one last lazy kiss to your neck as he slowly pulls out, careful not to brush against your clit and whispering little apologies when you whimper a bit at the loss of his cock. 
He stares at you, and you can see a million thoughts running around behind his green eyes. You’re about to ask him what he’s thinking about when he shifts backwards a bit and pulls the condom off, tying it off and tossing it into the garbage by the toilet. 
He looks around for a moment until he sees a shelf of clean towels and quickly swipes a small wash cloth. He gently pushes your leg apart again, standing between them as he flicks the faucet of the sink back on, wetting the cloth under it for a moment before turning it off and pressing the damp cloth on your thigh.
You shiver, cursing softly and he whispers a quiet apology, “Sorry–lemme just clean you up alright?”
Christ for a fuck boy he really was rather sweet. 
You spread your legs a bit more to make it easier for him, lifting your skirt so it doesn’t fall as he gently cleans you up. You almost beg him to fuck you again when he pauses at your cunt, staring at it and licking his lips. But he doesn’t give you the chance, cleaning you up in a matter of minutes, pressing a few kisses on your thighs to apologize when he brushes the cloth over your clit. 
He helps you back into your panties, letting you lean on him as he tugs them over your ass and snaps the waistband against your hips. He cleans himself off last, tucking his dick back into his boxer’s as he pulls his pants up. 
“Klitz?” you whisper, “um–where’d you throw my braw and my top?” 
He finds them quickly but doesn’t hand them off to you at first, just staring at your bare chest for a moment before whispering, “Ya know I meant it when I said you have the pretties tits.” 
You snort snatching your clothes out of his hands, “You tell that to all the girls you seduce?”
He smiles and shakes his head as he buckles his belt, watching you clip your bra back on, “Nope–just you pretty girl”
You know it’s foolish to believe a fuck boy– but you really can’t help it when he stares at you with those green eyes and that little smirk. 
“Sure you do.” you retort, slipping your crop top back over your head, shifting to pull it over your chest as he watches you, eyes darting from your chest to your face. You shuffle off the counter, nearly stumbling when you forget that your legs are still a little shaky.
 Klitz catches you by the waist, pushing you back against the counter again with a smirk, “Careful pretty girl” Klitz stares at you for a moment and then leans forward catching you in another kiss, humming in approval when you drag him closer. 
You pull away panting, “I should–I should go home” you whisper, not even fighting him when he pulls you in for another kiss.
He sucks on your bottom lip for a moment before pulling away completely, giving you a smug grin when you whine at him, “ I wanna do this again sometime.” 
You tilt your head a bit surprised at his admission, “You do?”
He nods, brushing a loose strand of hair out of your face, “Mmhm…Unless you’re gonna hide from me again.” 
You roll your eyes and shove his arm, “I wasn’t hiding from you.” 
You aren’t even trying to be convincing.
Still he lets you keep your dignity with a chuckle as he shakes his head and steps back a bit, “Alright–how about you text me later if doing this again is something your interested in, yea?”
You already know you’re going to say yes.
Still you nod, “I’ll think about it.” 
He grins cheekily shuffling towards the door, “I look forward to receiving your text.” he twists the door knob and looks back at you once more, “uh–also text when you get home so I know you made it home safe.” 
You bit back the urge to tease him for being worried, far to giddy about it to be in a position to make fun of him.
“I will.” you promise, giggling when he smiles and winks at you before slipping out the door into the hallway.
Well fuck–
You pick up your phone and step towards the door, opening up your text chain with Hayden and Jayce again to find a few new messages from them.
>>JayJay: yea with a K ;)))))
>>HEY!den: oh yeah Klitzy ;) (1 hour ago)
>>HEY!den: you fuck him finally??? 
>>JayJay: please tell me u fucked him finally omfg u are driving me insane girly u need some dick rn (30 minutes ago)
>>JayJay: I’m gonna be heading home soon, lemme know if you guys want a ride (2 minutes ago)
>>HEY!den: Yes please!!!
>>Y/N: I’ll meet you at the door
>>JayJay:Okay but hurry or im leaving without you lol
>>HEY!den: don’t listen to him babes i wont let him leave with out you <3
>>JayJay: u r no fun :(
You shake your head, yanking the door open, silently thanking your lucky stars that there aren’t many people in the hall way. The party has cleared up a bit so it doesn’t take you long to make your way to the front door. 
You see Jayce and his messy head of dirty blonde hair first, leaning against a wall with Haydan leaning against his side, her dark hair falling over her face as she fights sleep. Jayce notices you instantly and waves you over, eyes widening a bit when he notices the hickies on your neck. 
You don’t even let him say a word before you lift a hand to cover his mouth, “You can ask all your silly little questions when we get home.” 
–he doesn’t even last the two minute walk to his car before he’s blurting out questions.

HEAR ME OUT- could you write something for thaddius x shy reader and they kiss for the first time and the reader is super nervous n stuff that would be so cute!
YES OFC also gn!reader cause gender wasn’t specified
Tumblr media
Content warning: kissing n stuff, mention of smoking
Word count: 500 (short asl I know)
It was Friday morning, you and thaddius were smoking behind school, YKnow, being rebels.
me and thaddius were smoking, I’ve never been much of a smoker, but thaddius does it and I wanna get closer to him, I’ve had a crush on him for awhile now. We’ve flirted back and forth before, but I think that was it, just flirting, I don’t think he would ever like someone like me.
We usually don’t talk very much, granted im pretty shy, I don’t usually start the conversation, and he doesn’t seem like much of a talker. He tries to pass the cigarette to me
“nah, im good”
he shrugs and takes another puff of the cigarette before putting it out on the concrete below him.
“(Y/N) if you want to be my friend you can just say that. You don’t have to do stuff you don’t want to do” he says, crushing the unlit cigarette under his shoe
“uh..what?”
Friend…what if I wanna be more than that
“You don’t want to smoke, I can tell, I won’t be upset if you tell me”
“oh..well I don’t want to smoke”
“abit too late for that anyways” he says, gesturing to the crushed cigarette, i giggle and scratch the back of my neck, thaddius turns on his feet to face me, sideway leaning against the building
“hey, look at me” I turn too, looking at him, thaddius smiles, he moves hair out of my face, my heart basically beating out of my chest, he can probably hear it.
“I think your cool, I like you” he says in a reassuring voice, I like you..
”I-I like you too” you smile awkwardly at him, his mouth drops slightly, oh no…I said that out loud!!!??
“I…im glad”
he grins, stepping closer to me. I look down, fiddling with my hands, he likes me? There’s no way, he’s just trying to innocently flirt again,
“I…you…don’t lie to me, thaddius”
he grabs my hands, I look up at him
“I’m not, I like you too”
i smile, trying to contain my excitement
“can I…kiss you, (y/n)?”
What?!? Already?!? I mean, I’m not complaining
“s-sure”
I grin at him, god, I must look like a dork, he grabs onto my chin, lightly pulling my face up to meet his, he presses a firm kiss on my lips, I don’t know what to do, I’ve rarely done this before, his lips are soft, it doesn’t seem like he’s done this too much too
he pulls away and looks at me, he’s grinning stupidly and face fully red, I giggle cover my face shyly
“that was nice” thaddius pats my head awkwardly
“y-yeah it was”
Thaddius tucks my hair behind my ear
“Your really cute” he says as he crosses his arms across his chest, trying to look confident
“T-thanks, your not too bad yourself” i giggle
He smiles and pulls my body closer to his by my hips, I yelp
“Oh I’m sorry, did I hurt you?” He looks worried
“No it just…startled me” you look away
“ I just…wanted to kiss you again”
He pulls my face towards his once more, but
your interaction gets cut short by the school bell ringing
“oh shit!” Thaddius rushes to get his backpack back on
“u-um I’ll see you after class!”
He says as he runs off
“Oh okay! Bye!” I yell to him, but he’s too far away to hear
I fan my flushed face before going to class myself.

The breeze cool breeze washed over your skin and as Thaddius’s cigarette smoke blew in your face. Though you hated the smell, you always thought he looked so hot when he smoked, even if it is bad for him.
Thaddius told you to pick an idea for a date and you... chose sitting in a field of flowers..? But he didn’t care, he loved seeing you dressed up, specially in your yellow sundress that shows everything off.
You laid back on the blanket you brought for you two to lay on, you ask “Thaddius...can I ask you a question?” he turned his head towards you and nodded.
“Can I try your cigarette?” you wondered, looking at him. “You sure? I thought you hated cigarette smoke?” he asked, smiling a bit at your curiosity. “I know I did but..Never hurts to try right?”
He agreed, you sat you close to him, “Instead of you hitting it directly, I’m going to take a puff, when I exhale you’re going to inhale.” he instructed, placing the lit tobacco stick in his mouth.
Thaddius held your face, both of your eyes closing when he blew the smoke in your mouth. You breathed in the smoke, stomach feeling light of how close he is. Though you guys have been dating for awhile, he still gives you butterflies in your stomach. Maybe causes he’s a “bad boy” but he was also gentle with you.
You took in the smoke, but Thaddius closed in the gap between you both. He kissed you as you were going to break, he always did. You leaned into the kiss, brushing some of the hair from his face. There was nothing to disrupt you two, just the sound of the wind blowing past and the sounds of you kissing filled the air around you.
Placing your hands on his shoulders, you moved into lap. Thaddius ditched the cigarette in the ash tray you brought for him, hands moving to your hips. You craved alone time with him, the two of you rarely got alone time like this. Plus, you wanted to surprise him.
He pulled away, “Can I..?” he look at your chest then back up at you, “Yes..please..please touch me...” you whispered as his hands squeezed your chest, groaning at the feeling of your breasts in his hands.
“You’re so beautiful..” he groaned, licking the skin of your neck. You bit your bottom lip, “Thaddius...” you moaned, starting to rocking your hips against his lap. You can tell he like it since he squeezed hard again.
One hand travels down your stomach, to lift up your dress. He pulled away to see what panties you were wearing, he always did, specially your white cotton ones, something so pure about them.
He moved the yellow fabric up up to be surprised to see no underwear, and he loved it. “So...no panties huh? You little freak...” he smiled. “Yeah...I wanted to surprise you since you know...We don’t get much alone time together so I wanted to do something for you..”
Thaddius leaned you back on, laying you on the blanket you both sit on top of. He spread you legs apart, “This was very nice surprise baby...Thank you..” he whispered at the end, going down to kiss your inner thighs. 
“You’re perfect Y/n…” Thaddius mumbled before kissing your clit, swirling his tongue your sensitive bud. You breathed hard, hands gripping his hair. He knew this meant he was doing a good job without you verbal saying it.
Another cool breeze washes over you two, adding another sensation to your body. You couldn’t help but have your free hand grope yourself through your dress.
“Mmm…Thaddius, can I please suck you off..? Please..?” you moaned, plead in your voice. Thaddius pulled away, sat up. and started to unbutton his pants. You crawled towards him, pulling down his pants and boxers to see his erection. You wrap your hand around the base, taking the tip in your mouth.
He leaned his head back, letting out a low groan. You smiled as he stroked the temples of your head as your took him in fully, gagging a bit. He kept your head there for a few seconds before pulling you up. Seeing you gasp for air, tears forming in your eyes, seeing his cock coated in your saliva was heavenly.
You went back to sucking, using your hand to stoke whatever couldn’t fit in your mouth. “You’re doing so well…” he whispered, hips thrusting, shoving his cock deeper into your mouth.
“Stop… I want to be inside you..” he said, stopping your head from moving. You pulled away, kissing him quickly before saying, “Look in the basket I brought…” smiling at him.
Thaddius grabbed the basket and open the top flap. He saw drinks, his cigarette box and a condom. He grabbed the small black package and smiled, “You had this all thought out huh?” he asked, and you nodded.
As he rolled the condom on, he laid you on the blanket. The sun shined upon you, “You look so beautiful…gonna fuck you so good..” he mumbled. You smiled as he lined himself up.
You gasped lightly as he pushed in, closing your eyes and gripping the blanket beneath you. He wasn’t really thick, but just enough, he was also big in length.
His mouth opened, lightly moans coming out. He started to move slowly, watching your reactions. Your closed your eyes opened to the sight of Thaddius thrusting in you, the sun giving him a beautiful glow.
He leaned down to kiss you, you two moaning into each other’s mouths, wrapping your legs around his waist. You wrapped your arms around his neck, “I-I love you…Ah fuck I love you…” you moaned, Thaddius picking up his speed, mumbling a small ‘i love you’.
The sound of skin slapping and moans filled the air, an upcoming gust of wind blending in with your sounds. He pulled down the top of your dress, letting your breast free of the yellow fabric.
He leaned down, his mouth latching to your nipple as the same hand went down and rubbed your clit. It all felt too much, a familiar feeling in your tummy came, wanting to release. “T-Thaddius..! I’m gonna cum..!” you whined
He didn’t react much, he just thrusted harder. You pulled his face from your breast to kiss him, cumming on his dick. His moments slightly halted, feeling you tighten around him. Thaddius’s movements got sloppier and harder, “Gonna cum..” he mumbled.
A few hard thrusts and he stopped, cuming inside the condom. He breathed heavy, his soft moans becoming shaky. A gust a wind passed by, cooling you down.
Thaddius looked at you, face blushed, chest out in the open, and the sun shining on your face. You were the most beautiful thing in that field of flowers.

white, red and black
pairing: jean/mikasa
cw: angst, smut, emotional hurt/comfort, terminal illness 
Tumblr media
                                                  i. white
She was like a comet, Jean thought. He remembered the first time he saw her, with her raven black hair, composed personality and her crimson red scarf.
She was like a renaissance painting, almost as if she stepped out of a piece of hidden artwork by Leonardo Da Vinci, she was the epitome of beauty itself.
And it wasn’t like he was being shallow, while she was distant and a woman of few words, she was protective, strong, intelligent and loving, oh so loving, Jean thought, whenever he’d watch her with her childhood best friends Eren and Armin.
A small part of him resented Eren sometimes. He knew the green eyed boy was incredibly important to her, and that they had a bond that Jean could never replace. He was aware of that, but God, how he wished that he could be him, that he could be the one in her heart forever and always.
It wasn’t as if their bond was romantic. Eren was in a happily committed relationship with a mutual friend of theirs, Reiner, leading to an unlikely friendship between her and the beefy blond man. They were happy, but he wanted to give her that happiness that Reiner gave Eren, or Annie gave Armin.
She truly deserved it, that he was sure.
It was sheer luck that led to their first date, with Jean fumbling over his words when asking her if she wanted to grab some dinner, since Eren, Armin and Sasha were with their respective partners, and Connie and Marco were busy at work.
He never thought he’d hear the word yes slip out of her pretty mouth, and after a semi romantic meal, the pair spent the evening walking along the riverside, one minute talking about everything ranging from stress with exams to whether or not aliens exist, and spending the next minute in a sweet blissful silence, with the only sounds being the buzzing noise in their heads and the anxious pounding of their hearts.
He asked to draw her standing next to the riverside, holding her coffee cup and wearing her long black coat which reflected her hair, her little white hat and her crimson red scarf. He wanted to capture her glory, and she shyly said yes, much to Jean’s joy.
The first date turned into a few more, and Jean often found himself laying in bed, phone in hand, mentally slapping himself for not taking the initiative to ask her out once and for all.
He was a coward, even without the sly remarks from Sasha and Connie, he knew he was wasting time and that someone, anyone, would swoop in and win her heart.
Maybe it was the image of her in someone else’s arms, maybe it was the devil on his shoulder mocking his cowardice, but all it took was one fateful night for Jean to send a brief text asking her to be his, before he switched his phone off and hid under the covers in agony and regret, knowing he would feel nauseous in the morning.
His heart dropped when he saw a notification, and he couldn’t believe it when she sent him a reply saying yes, yes she would love nothing more than to be his, and yes she wanted to see him.
He was in a cruel dream, and he was going to wake up, he knew it.
The next few dates turned into a passionate relationship, and Jean would spend his days searching the streets for the perfect engagement ring, one that measured up to her.
His friends thought he was crazy. You’re rushing into things, would be Sasha and Armin’s words. Are you fucking insane, would be the response Connie and Eren would give him. And he needed to reflect on things before committing into something as intense as marriage, would be Marco and Reiner’s reply.
But they didn’t know how he felt. He didn’t care if he was being a hopeless romantic, always buying bright roses that mirrored her crimson red scarf, or baking her heart shaped pancakes for breakfast, or making her a personalized playlist with love ballads that would put Jack and Rose to shame. He loved her, and he didn’t care about anything else.
The wedding was a simple one. Despite Jean wanting the best nuptials money could buy, she assured him that their wedding day didn’t matter, as long as they had each other, earning a disgusted look from Eren and Connie, and a mocking laugh from Ymir and Porco.
The only thing he could think of during their wedding day was picking up bridal style, gently laying her down on a bed of roses, and placing small, soft butterfly kisses on every inch of her body, taking her to a new personal heaven that she never experienced before.
He also thought about how she completed him, how she made him shine like starlight, how she made him a better man, and how he never wanted to lose her.
Ever.
                                                    ii. red
The wedding night did not go as smoothly at first as Jean expected.
It started off with bumps and awkwardness, with Jean finding himself mesmerized by her beauty, almost afraid to touch her delicate figure, scared she’ll fall apart in his arms.
She called him ridiculous for his mentality, and slowly began undressing to reveal her red lace lingerie, before gently pushing a stunned and incredibly turned on Jean on the bed, before leaning over and placing hot kisses starting with his face, before lowering herself till she hovered over his very painful erection, and gently pressing on it with her knee earning a hiss from Jean, before standing up and demanding him to undress.
Jean was certain he had died and entered heaven. This had to be reward for the time he helped that old lady cross the street, and for the years he spent volunteering down at that soup kitchen.
He laid back down on the bed, completely bare, and she bent down to place her lips on his chaste ones, their tongues dancing while they every so often their eyes fluttering open, filled with gazes of longing love.
He wanted to please her, make her feel like the queen she is.
He suddenly bolted up, flipped her over, and began peppering her soft pale skin with sweet kisses, before gently undoing her crimson lace bra, and taking a moment to marvel in the sight of her stunning breasts.
His breath hitched for a moment, and she noticed, and she began to become self conscious, shielding her face with her arm before Jean stopped her, intertwining his hand with hers and placing two kisses on each breast, before placing one in mouth and gently sucking, with his tongue flickering across her nipple.
She felt euphoric, her back arching and her grip on Jean’s hand tightening, and Jean noticed, proceeding to fix himself up, wiping the drool from his mouth and placing his hands on the side of her hips, and slowly but very seductively slipping off her sunset coloured panties, making sure to take in the way her ways widened at the action.
He took a moment to take her ethereal beauty in, then brought his head forward, his mouth hovering over her soaked clit, and her swollen slit could feel every breath he took. It was wildly erotic for the both of them.
Jean took a sharp breath, still trying to compose himself, and latched his mouth onto her cunt, licking and sucking in a very animalistic manner, leading to shy moans slipping from her soft lips, and Jean, now feeling incredibly turned on himself, placed both arms on each side, and placed his lips on hers, allowing her to taste herself.
It was a lewd action, she thought, but God she loved it.
Jean leaned forward, placing his forehead on hers as he slowly entered her, once again intertwining his fingers with hers as he gave slow, powerful thrusts, with the only sounds in the room being their moans, the lewd squelching and the gentle pitter patter of rain outside.
They both came undone together, still holding onto each other for what felt like hours afterwards when Jean suddenly had an idea. He gently shook her, placing a small kiss on her cheek, before asking if he could draw her again, this time in her nude afterglow.
She turned red, but he assured her it would be between them only, but she didn’t have to do anything she didn’t want to. Seeing his loving gaze, and knowing about much art meant to him, she agreed, and Jean spent the rest of the night sketching his nude wife.
A few months later, the pair brought a small house on the outskirts of the city, and they collectively opened a gallery together. She also taught boxing on the side, leading to teasing remarks from Porco and Connie that Jean’s wife was stronger than he was, to which Jean would reply that she could literally kill him and he would absolutely love that.
A year later, the pair announced they were expecting a baby. Jean remembered crying the first time he held his child in his hands, he couldn’t believe he created something so beautiful with the love of his life. Two years later, they welcomed another baby, and their growing family was complete.
Jean felt a sense of peace. Was this not all he ever wanted? He was on a cloud nine, and there was nothing, absolutely nothing that could ruin his happiness.
                                                iii. black
Jean really should have paid more attention to the signs that something was wrong.
Their years of marriage was bliss, but as time went on, he began to notice small changes in her. She seemed more weak, more frail and her mind was scattered, often forgetting the simplest things, worrying Jean.
He thought it could be due to the stress of having two children, so he sold his gallery, wanting to focus solely on helping her feel better. They went to the doctors multiple times, and were told she was just exhausted, and needed a small break.
And Jean took every word as gospel, asking his mother, Eren and Armin to take care of the little ones and he jetted her off to the Alps of Rome, the paved streets of Prague and the peaceful countryside of Switzerland, hoping her weakened state was due to her needing a fresh environment and a new diet.
While the trip was romantic, it had the opposite effect Jean intended. If anything, she fell more ill when they returned home, her body became more pale, there were small bruises forming on her skin if anyone touched her, and she wasn’t able to hold down any food.
Eren called in his brother overseas, Zeke, to come and check on her. After calling in a few of his other doctor friends to reaffirm (or in Zeke’s case, to hopefully prove him wrong), he sat Jean down and informed him of news he never wanted to hear.
She was dying.
If the doctor they went to before had noticed earlier, maybe something could have been done, but it was too late, and they estimated she had around two months left.
Jean remembered walking back to his mother’s house to pick up his children after hearing the news. The entire street was a blur, he remembered seeing flashing nights and hearing muffled voices, but he had no idea where he was going. This had to be a nightmare, right? He’d wake up in her arms and their little ones will come and jump on their bed before he dragged their feet to make them omelettes and pancakes. That’s it, it was all a dream.
Jean did wake up, but not to the sight he wanted. Instead of waking up next to her, he woke up with a concerned Reiner, Bertolt, Marco and Connie looming over him, having picked him up after he fainted on the street. They were concerned for him, but he pushed them away, locking himself in the nearest bathroom and for the first time since he was a child, he was crying, and praying to whoever was listening that instead of her, it would be him.
Jean decided to be strong for her and the kids. He spent almost every waking day near her, and tried to keep the dark news from their children as much as he could. The date Zeke said was inching nearer, and it was feeling like a heavy blanket on everyone.
One night, after he prepared dinner and put the kids to bed, he went to their shared bedroom to find her laying in their bed, her dark circles now more prominent, her hands running through her clean shaven scalp and her once tight fitting dress now completely loose around her body, silently weeping.
He got into bed with her, and knew that there wasn’t much he could say to alleviate the situation, so, he held her tightly, whispering sweet nothings in her ear and thanking her for completing him.
Suddenly, Jean jumped up, and scrambled through his drawer, before pulling out a small sketchbook and pencil. He held her face in his hands, placing a soft kiss on her forehead before asking to draw her, to draw her in all her beauty and glory, since she was always beautiful and important to him, and he needed to show her.
She nodded, and this time, instead of drawing her by the riverside or nude in their bed, he drew his beloved at what she felt was her weakest moment, but to Jean, it was her strongest.
The following morning, Jean walked in with a special breakfast he had prepared her. He shook her, trying to wake her up, but she seemed stoic, frozen and the only sign of anything was the small smile on her lips.
Panic began to set in and he shook her multiple times, calling her name and trying to wake her up.
“Mikasa.”
“Mikasa.”
“Mikasa.”
She was buried near a rose bush not far from their home the following day. Everyone was inconsolable, and Jean stood there, paralyzed, as the grief hit him like a nightmarish tsunami. She was gone. His Mikasa, was gone.
He reflected back on their life together. At the beginning, when his love for her was white, or during their marriage, when their love red, or during her final days, when their love was slowly turning black.
Regardless of the colour, his love for Mikasa was just that. His love. And it would defy all colours and time to live on, forever.

THADDIUS FROM THE BALLAD OF JACK AND ROSE I DARe you to write for him
bet you wont
The Treehouse - Thaddius x GN!Reader
TW: Smoking, the slightest hint of NSFW but mainly fluff
(Requests Open !)
Tumblr media
---------------------------------------------------
There Thaddius was, smoking once again. Every day that Y/N walked out of school, they saw Thaddius smoking on the stairs outside. Y/N sighed before sitting down beside him "y'know it's really not good to smoke" they said as they looked at Thaddius. He just chuckled "aw, are you trying to protect me? Why do you think I do it?" He said as he continued to smoke "what do you like about them so much?" They asked. Thaddius sighed "like you said, they hurt me. And it makes me look badass. Don't you think so?" He said, leaning closer into Y/N, causing them to lean back and blush "I don't know about that" they said. Thaddius hummed before standing up and throwing his cigarette to the ground, crushing it under his foot "so why did you come over here anyway?" He asked as he looked down at the still sitting Y/N. They shrugged "to talk to you. Do you want me to leave or something?" They asked, causing Thaddius to sigh before shaking his head "nah. I don't mind you. I actually like you. Much more than everyone at school" he said as he held his hand out to Y/N "come on. I want to show you something" he said.
After walking back to his house, Y/N sighed dramatically "are we there yet?" They asked, causing Thaddius to chuckle "you are very impatient, aren't you? Come on, we are close" he said as he continued to hold Y/N's hand. Eventually, they stood in front of a treehouse. Y/N looked up at it before looking back at Thaddius "you have a treehouse? Are you kidding?" They asked, causing Thaddius to scoff "it's a secret hangout, thank you very much. Now go up there before I change my mind and make you walk all the way back to your house by yourself." Y/N sighed before they made their way up the ladder. Looking around, the treehouse was rather nice. It was obvious that Thaddius liked to come here a lot. Thaddius made his way up soon after Y/N, sitting beside them once he got up.
Thaddius then sighed "much cooler now, huh?" He said, causing Y/N to nod "yeah, I like it" they said simply. Thaddius then hummed "I only let very special people in here, y'know" he said, causing Y/N to blush but they quickly covered it up by saying "aw, am I special, Thaddius?" Hoping to get a rise out of him, as they normally did. But this time, Thaddius nodded "yeah, you are." This caused Y/N to widen their eyes and blush deeper before looking away "aw, have I made someone flustered?" He said, causing Y/N to scoff "never" they mumbled.
Thaddius sighed before grabbing Y/N's face, turning them to face him before smirking "I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. Could you say that again?" He asked. Y/N tried to keep their eyes away from Thaddius but eventually was forced to look at him. They then quietly said "maybe." Thaddius chuckled softly before he slowly leaned in and pulled Y/N into a kiss. A kiss that quickly got intense. This was Y/N's first kiss but it was obvious by how Thaddius was handling this situation that it was not his first. He pulled Y/N into his lap without ever pulling away. When he finally did, it was only to catch his breath.
Thaddius leaned in to begin kissing Y/N again when he heard "Thaddius!" Being yelled in the distance. Y/N quickly moved away from him, scared they would get in trouble "my dad. What does he want?" He said, almost to himself. He then turned to face Y/N again "just stay here for a bit, okay? I promise I'll be back" he said before he stood up. Y/N then stood up and pulled him into one last kiss before smiling up at him "okay. I'll be waiting." This caused Thaddius to smirk before he walked over to the ladder and climbed down. Y/N watched him leave with a bright smile on their face. They just kissed Thaddius and, by the way he was kissing them, that wasn't all they were going to do that day.
---------------------------------------------------
A/N: Hope you enjoyed this! I don't know why but the way that you phrased your request made me really want to prove you wrong so here you go. Take that.

FOCUSING ON JANET JACKSON: THE STORY OF THE ICONIC LEGEND, THE HIGHLIGHTS OF HER SUCCESSFUL CAREER, THE FIERCE AND INSIPIRING MESSAGE DELIVERED THROUGH HER TIMELESS ART
Tumblr media
Hi music lovers, today I’m focusing on Janet Jackson, I tried to cover as much as I could with this article. Just know that I will write other articles about her, therefore if you do not find some particulars in this essay, just know that they will be in another future article!! I hope you enjoy this article💜
For 54 years the music icon “Miss Jackson” has and still is paving the path for many artists and inspiring us all with her legacy, talent, grace, and beauty, being the role model everyone should look up to. Today I am focusing on the highlights of Janet Jacksons extraordinary career.
Born Janet Damita Jo Jackson on May 16, 1966, in Gary, Indiana, the artist, was the youngest of ten children, but undoubtedly not the least talented. Indeed, at the young age of 10, she got the part of Penny Gordon on the tv show Good Times and her acting skills were already showing. The young child prodigy also made a few memorable appearances on the tv show Diff’rent Strokes as Charlene Dupree and soon got her role on the renown show Fame as Cleo Hewitt. Though the show business was not all flowers and roses for young Janet, who, even at the age of 10, was already showing her iron will to achieve the very much desired success. Indeed, as the artist recalled, “‘I would set my alarm clock for 5.30am, get myself dressed, and get myself out of the door for work five days a week,’ she says. ‘And for a 10-year-old to have that kind of discipline – there’s a lot to be said for that.’.
Tumblr media
Then Janet decided to pursue the music career in the 80s, establishing herself as a singing star of the first order. At the age of 16, she dropped her first self-titled album. The pop, funk-influenced, fresh, and danceable record was the beginning of a glorious and remarkable career. Young Love even reached number six on Billboard’s R&B chart. The following year the artist issued Dream Street. The exquisitely pop album was entirely in the fashion of good 80s tunes. Not to mention the surprise guest artist who lent his signature voice in Don’t Stand Another Chance and All My Love To You.
However, in 1986 came Janet’s commercial, and most importantly, creative breakthrough. The artist teamed up with none other than Minneapolis-based producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to create Control, the game-changing, legendary R&B-pop masterpiece that paved the way for the new emerging sounds of the late 80s. Through the empowering lyrics, the artist declared her independence with passion and grace as she affirmed in the title track, “this time, I’m gonna do it my way,” and she really did it. Moreover, the pure brilliance of this work lies in the extremely self-assured vocals and sleek slamming beat combo that presented Janet as a confident tough-minded artist who is in charge of her life and her choices. In support of her brand-new persona, Jam and Lewis crafted a set of gleamy, computerized hip-hop-nuanced funk and urban R&B backing tracks. The album eventually sold over 5 million copies, establishing Janet as a new influential pop star and role model. With this album, the artist was already showing her immense talent.
Tumblr media
In 1989 the artist teamed up again with producers Jam and Lewis and released the hotly anticipated follow-up concept album: Rhythm Nation 1814. With this work, the artist became more overtly political, exploring socially conscious themes and issues, which were the whole fulcrum of the album. The singer took some risks with this Rhythm Nation as protest songs were quite uncommon in R&B, but making those risks paid off as the masterpiece not only assured Janet an even higher artist plateau, but it also had wildly successful results. As the artist sang in the title track “Join voices in protest to social injustice” or “A generation full of courage, come forth with me,” in this work, Janet explores themes such as racism, sexism, and feminism and flourishing as a person and artist in an environment ruled by both issues. However, some nonpolitical songs could not miss, ranging from smooth and silky ballads such as Someday Is Tonight, Alone and Come Back to Me to the pop rock influenced Black Cat, to the funk-influenced Miss You Much and Alright to the bright and romantically-themed Love Will Never Do (Without You) and Escapade. The album was a triumph and was accepted enthusiastically by the audience. In support of this masterpiece, Janet undertook her first tour, and it was a smashing success.
In 1992 the artist, along with rapper Tupac Shakur starred in John Singleton’s all-time classic, Poetic Justice. Janet gave proof one more time of her extraordinary acting skills taking up the role of Justice, a hairdresser, grieving over her boyfriend’s death, who writes poems to get through the sorrow of her bereavement.
Tumblr media
Subsequently, 1993 saw the artist fully embracing her sexuality, which was crowned with her breakthrough homonymous album: Janet. The new image was trumpeted with a strikingly iconic Rolling Stone cover picture: an uncropped photo with the artist topless covered by two hands. The picture was then used as the album cover. One more time, Janet teamed up with the iconic duo Jam-Lewis and the outcome churned out did not leave the audience disappointed at all. The powerful trio left the synthesized funk in favor of warm, gently, inviting undulating grooves. The 28 tracked album is the product of the artist’s groundbreaking eclecticism. This masterpiece is a perfect mix of whooping cuts sprawling a sonic extravaganza where only 12 were proper songs, and the rest short interludes. The new quirky sounds were aligned perfectly with the brand-new public persona the artist created. The album shifts from the old school shuffle-beat-pop of Whoops Now to the New Jack Swing of You Want This. The leading guitar of What’ll I Do is a 60s flavored old school-rock hit with a bit of Janet’s signature sound. The danceable grooves of Funky Big Band are spiced up with old-jazz samples, while the erotic moans in Throb are a clear nod to Donna Summer’s Love to love you, baby, with some electro-trance influences I must say. A major sociopolitical hit could not miss on this masterpiece. The pop song New Agenda featuring a noteworthy cameo from rap Public Enemy’s head MC. Chuck D is indeed touching some relevant themes such as gendered racism and sexism, which issues were and still are much present in today’s society. The album is also featuring some enjoyable ballads such as the major hit and R&B Again, which appeared at the end of the movie mentioned Poetic Justice. With The Body that Loves you, Janet shifts to some jazzier, smooth, and silky sounds, while the slow R&B-nuanced Any Time Any Place is a groovy erotic jam. The angry This Time is a successful experiment in mixing rocky inflections with lyrical singing. The centerpiece was the album’s first single, the groovy alluring infectious ballad That’s The Way Love Goes. Not only is the collection a groundbreaking masterpiece sprinkled with revolutionary sounds, but what is striking most about this work is the intention with which it was produced. Indeed, Janet is a clear statement and frank celebration of female sexual liberation, which was and still is considered a taboo topic. Through this album, Janet explores black sexuality and lust, which is something black women have always been stereotyped about. Hence, with the explicit lyrics, the mellow and groovy sounds, the artist unveils these relevant topics making a monument to black lust, ultimately taking the power of her own sexuality back, which is portrayed as a beautiful, liberating act. With this masterpiece, Janet was baptized as one of the first real trailblazers and role models who paved the path for multiple African American female artists in addressing and embracing their sexuality fully. Additionally, the video of If was praised for being a beautiful, uplifting celebration and portrait of interracial lust.
Tumblr media
Furthermore, how can we forget when Janet introduced her legendary brother Michael at the 35th Grammy Legend Awards on February 24, 1993? The artist wearing a gorgeous total white look and matching high heels matched Michael’s nestled pearls jacket. Not to mention her iconic, memorable hairstyle: beautiful box braids slicked-back into a high ponytail topped off with a had-band turned ponytail-holder matching the whole outfit. The jewelry was also in harmony with the outfit, as the artist opted for silver medium hoops (which went gorgeously with the hairstyle), a classy silver chained necklace, and of course, a couple of silver rings. Janet stepped on stage with the biggest, brightest, and most gorgeous smile to introduce her brother with one of the most touching speeches ever, beginning with “Before he won 12 Grammy Awards before he dazzled millions of fans around the world with his amazing talent as a performer. Before, he impacted millions of lives with his ongoing humanitarian efforts. Before all of that, he was one other thing, he was my brother”. Then she presented the audience an enlightening book of the instructions on how to become a legend choosing Michael as a guide. But the best part was yet to come. Indeed, Janet expressed her love and gratitude for her brother, and honestly, she had us crying the ugliest tears ever and Michael too “I just want to say one thing, seriously. I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you and how much you’ve inspired me and how proud I am to be your sister. And how much I love you, I do”. It was lovely seeing Janet and Michael sharing a beautiful moment on stage and joking with each other. It was indeed a beautiful, heartwarming moment to witness.
Tumblr media
In 1995 Janet’s came in support of her brother Michael in Scream, the lead single contained on the album HIStory. The duet between the younger sister and Michael finds the pair spitting out tightly wound lines railing against tabloids. The industrial beats and clattering percussions encased an incredible one of the most mind-blowing vocal performances ever. The sense of frustration and rage makes it one of the most vivid and enduring songs. Not to mention the iconic video directed by Mark Romanek housing the siblings in their own hyper-modern spaceship complete with an indoor zen garden, remote-controlled art gallery, and futuristic squash court. The iconic video came in black and white, with the spacecraft flying over the earth and Michael standing in his distress capsule. Then the tv screen flickers and Janet closes her eyes in the distress capsule. A deafening noise reverberates through their headphones, and the siblings scream in pain. An anime comes on tv, and Michael breaks the glass of the capsule. With this intro, the legendary duo begins a mesmerizing and extremely arduous choreography in unbelievable perfect sync with each other. Not to mention the iconic outfits consisting of black and silver PVC pants, silver bikini for Janet, and black or grey spiked shibori crop-tops styled by David Bradshaw.
Tumblr media
In 1997 came Janet’s follow-up album, The Velvet Rope, representing the product of her artistic revolution. With this album, the artist is summarizing the essence of the three previous works: the self-empowering messages from Control, the skin-deep social consciousness of Rhythm Nation, and the sexual liberation of Janet. Through the mature and experimental new sounds, the artist takes the listeners on a journey through the exploration of her psyche and sexuality: the outcome leads us to a darker path than the previous works released. Indeed, the singer sought to combine the sensuality of the last record to some more socially conscious parts such as domestic abuse, AIDS, and homophobia. Indeed, Vanessa-Mae’s prog-rock violin solo on the title track is setting the tone for profoundly spiritual work. The bass-heavy house track Together Again was an elegy for AIDS victims, which showcased a poignant vocal and lyric. Furthermore, from the raw and extremely vivid words of What About “What about the times you hit my face?../What about the times you said you didn’t fuck her; she only gave you head?” it is quite clear what the song is dealing with. And the anti-homophobia song par-excellence Free Xone shifts the moods and tempos segueing from a Prince’s Love Symbol (if you know what album I am talking about) like jam to an intriguing masterful sample from Archie Bell and the Drells’: Tighten Up. Extremely popular on the radio was Got ‘Til It’s Gone featuring the rapper Q-Tip and a reggae-crafted beat of Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi. I Get Lonely featuring Blackstreet was another tremendous hit that traversed the dark side of desire. Then Every Time is a melancholic piano-based touching ballad (not going to lie this song had me crying ugly tears!!). The edgy rhythms and he drum-and-and-bass lite in Empty are enhanced by Janet’s delivery racing in a staccato. Then the smooth groovy slippery Go Deep is worthy of some of the best Michael Jackson’s jams (can you notice the resemblance with some of Michael’s songs?). Special is another fabulous piano-based ballad drenched in meaningful lyrics, a true anthem of self-worth-discovery delivering an essential lesson “You see? You can’t run away from your pain. Because wherever you’ll run, there you will be. You have to learn to water your spiritual garden. Then you will be free.”. The idyllic song is abruptly stopped halfway by Janet saying “work in progress,” because after all, we are all a work in progress in our journeys through self-discovery and self-love, right? In the second part of the song, the hidden track “Can’t Be Stopped” is a monumental celebration of being Black where the artist is encouraging other African-Americans to have the same pride “You were born with blood of Kings and Queens and can’t be stopped.” Furthermore, through interludes such as Sad and Memory, the artist explores her deepest emotions and grief. For instance with the few words of the album opener Twisted Elegance “It is my belief that we have the need to feel special/And its this need that can bring out the best in us/Yet the worst in us/This need created the velvet rope” Janet is putting into a small number of words the whole purpose and meaning of this monumental masterpiece. The Velvet Rope is, in fact, a metaphor for a place deep inside. We all strive to protect where all our feelings and thoughts lay. Janet, with this album, is courageously unveiling her Velvet Rope, letting herself firstly and the listener beyond it directly into her sacred “spiritual garden.” Indeed, it is not a mystery that the singer chose the symbol of the Sankofa ( which is also the symbol of the Adinkra tribe in West Africa) to represent the album. Indeed, its paraphrase means “You must learn from your past to move forward,” and this is again the whole concept of The Velvet Rope.
In 2000 the artist appeared in Eddie Murphy’s comedy The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps as professor Denise Gaines.
Tumblr media
The next year, on March 12, 2001, the artist was honored with the MTV Icon Award, where the glittery talent roster included Beyonce and Destiny’s Child, Stevie Wonder, Aaliyah, ‘Nsync and Macy Gray, to pay their tribute to the legendary icon. To keep the hype of her new upcoming album release, Janet performed All For You the title track of her next album due on April 24, 2001. The singer ascended the stage in a gorgeous stylish all-white outfit and blew the audience away with her enchanting voice and impeccable choreography. After the performance was over, the artist thanked her dancers and her fans, saying, “It’s such a special night in my Life. An amazing night. Thank you so much. Because of you guys, I’m here. Thank you. I love you.”. Needless to say that we love our beautiful, humble queen more.
Moreover, after the super-personal and provocative Velvet Rope, Janet teamed up again with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to produce the sparkling danceable 70s/80s-influenced All For You. Come On Get Up (one of my favorite tracks in the album) breaks into a frenzy dance upbeat tempo and synth followed by some joyous and impeccable vocals. When We Oooo is an R&B downtempo percussive-based groovy alluring ballad that takes us to another dimension. The R&B ballad China Love is characterized by an extremely neat yet unique instrumental. The sounds of traditional Oriental chimes delve into the past love connections and other new age ambiguities. The glossy, silky slow ballad Love Scene is a sensual jam, perhaps one of Janet’s sexiest song in the album. Trust A Try is the product of a collaboration with hip-hop producer Rockwilder. The monumentally theatrical vocals are accompanied by a reinvention of the opera-genre rearranged into the rock key with electric guitars and cinematic strings. You Ain’t Right is a brutal attack on a gossipy friend characterized by a groovy upbeat tempo and some prominent vocals. The optimistic and hopeful ballad Better Days is entirely in harmony with the whole theme of the album (such an uplifting gem). The complete instrumentation with the guitar solo and striking strings are having us daydreaming of beautiful and distant places. The album is featuring singer Carly Simon in Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You), which is mashed-up with Carly Simon’s song You’re So Vain. Another track containing a sample from America’s Ventura Highway is the upbeat synth-based ballad Someone to Call My Lover, such a well-crafted reinvention of the original song. The extra-slow groovy Truth is a typical Janet’s ballad in the fashion of Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On. Feels So Right is another sparkling glossy R&B lo-fi track characterized by a prominent beat and some almost whispered sensual, charming vocals. Lastly, the title track, All For You, is a clear nod to the most memorable 70s funk masterpieces. The alluring upbeat and funk-influenced sound is having the listener daydreaming of the dancefloor at the Studio 54.
In 2004 Janet released her 8th album: Damita Jo again produced by the iconic duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The highly anticipated work is another groovy, sensual, erotic, and unapologetic masterpiece, where the artist explores the crucial role of sex in a new relationship. The preponderance to slow-tempo, sensual grooves, sexual imageries, and spoken interludes are now Janet’s trademark. It’s Janet, and she’s unapologetically sexy. The R&B ping-pong rhythms of the title track accompany the sampled bells, the rap inflected scratches, and the mellow vocals perfectly. Sexhibition is alluring the listener with its infectious stuttering beats and the sampled groovy electro R&B chug, along with Janet’s intermittent vocal bubbles. The sensual vocals in Strawberry Bounce are mixed into an effervescent loop over which, if you listen attentively, you can hear elements of Jay-Z’s Can I Get A and Deon Jackson’s Love’s Make the World Go Round. The next track, My Baby, featuring Kanye West, is a regular R&B laidback slow-jam with on-point beats. Spending Time With You is yet another slow R&B groovy jam that sounds exceptionally familiar (of course, if you are familiar with Michael Jackson’s music). Indeed, the prominent beats, the sampled bells, and the mellow and sensual-almost whispered vocals are clearly drawing inspiration from Janet’s older brother Michael. Segueing the slow-tunes mentioned above, All Nite (Don’t Stop) is a pumping electro-funk whose infectious beats allure the listeners to the dancefloor. Yet R&B Junkie keeps the retro 70s funk vibe high with some well-crafted catchy upbeat synths and characteristic inflected vinyl scratching having us daydreaming of the 70s dancefloors. The album shifts into ’60s retro dazzle with I Want You. The squeaky-clean sugary puff sounds in the verve of the best ’60s classics are a clear homage to the glory of Berry Gordy’s Motown Records. With Like You Don’t Love Me, we are taken back to modern R&B, nodding to new soul stylings with its catchy production, the infectious beats, subtle guitars, and keyboard accompanied by the sensual girly crooning. Thinkin’ Bout My Ex is another slow downtempo jam where the artist explores the emotional consequences of heartbreaks. Following Thinkin’ Bout My Ex, the extra-slow Warmth is a swirling erotic jam. Moist is the sequel of Warmth, another down-tempo piano-based track. The next track, Truly, is leaning towards a new soul genre. With its luscious harmonies and silky vocals, the song is such a sublime masterpiece. Slolove is another in-the-verve-of 70s up-tempo jam characterized by meticulous funk beats. Closing the album Just A Little While is an apparent salute to Prince’s Dirty Mind (precisely When You Were Mine) combining effervescent elements of 80s Prince’ inspired guitars and keyboards. The wide variety of music genres and 60’, 70’, and 80s influences on the album are the product of Janet’s revolutionary and eclectic vision showing the artist flexing her musicology muscle.
In 2006 Janet was a 40 years old woman feeling half her age. Her 40th birthday also conveys with her breakthrough as a music icon and legend 1986. Hence, she released her new album, 20 Y.O. The collection is one more time featuring 5 interludes, all of them titled 20. The first interlude is, however, the most relevant one as the singer gives a clear explanation of the purpose and the meaning of this work: “Well, there’s something to... Are you recording?/ There’s something to be said for not saying anything/I’ve talked about racism, spousal abuse, empowering women, children/I’ve talked about a lot of things/What do I talk about this time?/ I’ve covered a lot in my 20 years/, And I’ve uncovered a lot in my 20 years/, But I wanna keep it light/I don’t wanna be serious/I wanna have fun/I know/I don’t know/That’s what I do know”. The first track opening the album boasts a collaboration with rapper Khia. If you listen attentively, you’d also realize that the song is a masterful sample of Rockit by Herbie Hancock. The outcome is an urban R&B synth-based with prominent on-point-beats. The next three songs present some other masterful samples, such as Show Me complemented with Kraftwerk’s Boing Boom Tschak, Get It Out Me with Afrika Bambaataa’s Planet Rock and Do It 2 Me with Brenda Russell’s If Only for One Night. The threads that relate to all these tracks are the playful prominent danceable and sharp beats and grooves. Segueing the steamy rocky-R&B erotic This Body in which the artist adds some sensual vocals that match perfectly the whole theme of the track: the reversal of female objectification. Therefore, the music and the vocals match the intensity of the narrative, and the manic electric guitar replete with steel drum rimshots. After the second interlude, the artist is back again to a classic R&B string-based downtempo mellow jam. Next track Call On Me, boasts another collaboration with rapper Nelly. The song is yet another well-crafted sample with S.O.S Band’s 1983 major hit Tell Me If You Still Care. The sparkle of the sampled bells in Daybreak glides like Escapade and Runaway. The next track, the neo-soul with a touch of retro vibes Enjoy, is a total breath of positivity and fresh air. The ambiance-neo-soul Take Care is a classic silky dazzling ballad in the verve of Come Back To Me. Love 2 Love is yet another sensual slow jam. In the 5th interlude closing the album, the artist states the fugacity of the 20 years, and ultimately she thanks God for the sense of humor. Then she starts joking with one of her old friends “Twenty years/Time flashes by like lightning in the sky/Twenty years of questions come down to ‘Who am I?’/Thank you God for giving us all a sense of humor”… “All right, it’s ten to six/You’ve gotta go, ’cause I’ve gotta go/Oh, now she’s throwin’ me out now that she had her little say/We have some lovely parting gifts for you, Lynette/Thanks for coming down/Haha, oh, she tryin’ to shut me up/ Do do duh do do do..”
The next year we find Janet in Tyler Perry’s movie Why Did I Get Married? The film set in a Rocky Mountain resort follows four couples who meet each year for a therapeutic vacation. The 8 friends converge to discuss their relationships and address their issues. In the movie, we see Janet play the role of Patricia, a well-meaning psychiatrist and writer who helps her friends to solve their marital problems. The sequel of the movie, Why Did I Get Married Too?, came in 2010, but this time it includes a lengthy section set at the Bahamas. The film is one more time an amid portrait of four couples dealing with marital crises. With these movies, Janet is showing one more time her never-ending acting talents, especially in the second one, when she had to bring to Life Patricia’s painful past. It is indeed, that hurtful past with the broad range of emotions that Janet managed to bring to life amazingly well, making the movie even more credible and touching.
In 2011 Janet released her book True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself, in which she recounters her struggle with weight and confidence. The book is as well featuring letters from her fans. True You topped the new York time’s bestseller list in the following month. The same year Janet was the first female artist to ever perform at the I.M. Pei glass pyramid at the Louvre Museum, raising contributions for the restoration of artworks.

Nine years later, Janet is back with Unbreakable, a profound and insightful masterpiece. In this album, we find a brand-new Janet with brand new sounds more new-soul oriented. The themes of the collection are as well different from the previous ones. In the title track is the artist expresses her gratitude over a relaxed and longing groove. The intensity increases with the dance uptempo song BURNITUP featuring hip-hop icon Missy Elliot. The mood changes with the probing synths and booming bass in Dammn Baby. The next two tracks, The Great Forever, and Broken Hearts Heal, are a tribute to her brother Michael who passed in June 2009. What is mesmerizing about The Great Forever is that Janet sounds almost like Michael. While Broken Hearts Heal is a poignant uptempo ballad with a retro touch that brings us back to the glorious Michael’s 1978 Off The Wall. The subtle crystal beat is exactly giving the vibe of Workin’ Day and Night. The lyrics as well are giving hints that the song is dedicated to Michael “It was a long, long time ago/But I remember it like yesterday/Amazing times while we were growing/’Round all the brightest stars the world had seen/ We made-up songs to do our chores to/And harmonized while we all did our part/Danced and sang our way through most anything/Always felt safe in each others’ love/It was in summer that you left me/The fall and winter never felt so cold/, And Lord knows words can never express it/Life feels so empty I miss you much/Painful tears like never before/We can’t laugh together till we cry/But our love’s ain’t no material thing/ Inshaallah, see you in the next life”. The social-message-song Shoulda Known Better rides on an electro-dance sound and synths to reach euphoria, which is perfectly aligned with the hopeful message of revolution and social change. With After You Fall, Janet lets the listener into her deep thoughts, showing her fragility. The neat and simple arrangement and the gorgeous vocals are flawlessly completing the whole theme and purpose of the song, putting the vulnerability and the grief into sound. The sparkling infectious electro-disco Night is a clear nod to sturdy Minneapolis funk, more precisely Prince’s Sexy Dance (Prince self-titled album 1978). Segueing the effervescent rhythms of Night, No Sleeep is a more relaxed hypnotic downtempo jam. Then Dream Maker/Euphoria kicks in with a Michael-like cry hitting high notes, then settling into a luscious psychedelic groove. 2 Be Loved and Take Me Away are two classic fresh danceable pop songs. The dark nuanced Promise sets the tone for the touching performance of Lessons Learned, where one more time, the singer lets the listener into her deepest fragilities. The dark-tinged new soul Black Eagle keeps the moods sober, unraveling a poignant, beautiful message. The gospel-flavored Gon B’ Alright, is a prominent link to the past in the verve of Sly and The Family Stone and Larry Graham Central Station with a touch of Michael Jackson’s Wanna Be Starting Something.
After the release of Unbreakable, Janet began The State Of The World Tour, which was launched in 2017. The title of the tour set the record straight on the themes addressed during the shows. Indeed, some testimonies from some lucky fans who attended the concerts recall the opening video making perfectly clear the message Janet wanted to deliver. A blood-red clip that flashed the names of unarmed black men shot and killed by police, denouncing white supremacy and ending in a chant of “We Want Justice.” Subsequentially, a giant portrait of the singer filled the screen, her image covered by the slogans “We will not be silent. LGBTQ rights. Black Lives Matter. Immigrants are welcome. Liberty and Justice for all”. Through the concert, the artist highlighted the importance of information with the lyrics from Rhythm Nation “information keeps us strong” and “if you want to be in control you gotta get yourself in the know.” The show featured as well lighter topics, and Janet did not spare herself some slick choreographers.
Tumblr media
And how can we possibly forget Janet’s ICONIC performance and INSPIRING speech while accepting the Billboard Icon Award in 2018? The artist took the stage, offering the audience one of the fiercest and most impeccable performances ever of Nasty meshed up with When We Ooo (at the end of the song) and Throb. The singer also sought inclusivity not just with words; indeed, the performance featured a collective of dancers of all sizes, colors, and shapes. Eventually, Janet, introduced by Bruno Mars, graced the audience with an incredibly inspiring and beautiful acceptance speech: “I am deeply humbled and grateful for this award. I believe that for all the challenges, for all our challenges, we live at a glorious moment in history. It’s a moment when at long last, women have made it clear that we will no longer be controlled, manipulated, or abused. I stand with those women and with those men equally outraged by discrimination who support us in heart and mind. This is also a moment when our public discourse is loud and harsh.”. What a beautiful, stunning, inspiring queen!!
Furthermore, this summer 2020, the artist was supposed to start her Black Diamond world tour, but unfortunately, it has been postponed.
With this said, through her extraordinary career, Janet has proved so much and has achieved so much. Her unbelievable work ethic and talent have brought her to become one of the best artists on earth, and this is a fact. Her inspiring music celebrating women, especially African American women, impeccable choreographies, the iconic music videos celebrating, and uplifting black people have paved the path for many artists. With her vast contribution not just in the music business, Janet has become a legendary icon to many women and men. All hail to the queen.
Thank you for your attention💜 G.✨
