1 for gloria and 2 for rocio?
What’s the lie your character tells most often? 
I think a lot of Gloria’s lies in her day to day life are around the lines of “I’ll pay you back” or something like that LOL, she’s very irresponsible with money and not above straight up lying meaning her reputation is kinda terrible. She tends to ditch people and avoid responsibility in general. If you make plans with her there’s a solid 50% chance she just won’t show up and you’ll never hear from her again. The other 50% is she shows up and you still never hear from her again
2. How loosely or strictly do they use the word “friend”? 
The people in Rocio’s life are usually only interested in them professionally/politically, and the few that actually view her as a person (prior to the story theres like quite literally 2 of them) tend to be very close, so there’s not a lot of conflict over whether they’re close enough to be called their friend yk. She definitely considers them as such— even though it makes her uncomfortable to be close to people she does appreciate everything they’ve done for her. Like, they would have straight up died if not for Yiming. They put a lot of faith in the people they’re close to, maybe even too much, + though being dependent on others frustrates them they don’t tend to resent people because of that. In terms of actually using the word though. I think she’d hate implying things about her relationship with others because she doesn’t think it’s anyone’s business at all. So she’s more likely to avoid it and talk about them however is directly relevant to the situation. Like instead of “you can trust him, he’s a friend” it would be “you can trust him, he’s harmless” or whatever. Sometimes coming across as insulting because of that lol

hey lovely! I was wondering if I could request a remus or poly! marauders where the boys (or just remus) are keeping his werewolf thing a secret from whimsical!reader bc remus is scared she’ll be scared of him, but she secretly already knows. I feel like she’d just KNOW(you know? lol) and one day hints that she does to Remus saying that it’s going to be a full moon soon as like a warning or something and he and the boys kinda look at her like….what does she mean by that? lol idk I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for requesting sweetheart <3
poly!marauders x whimsical!reader ♡ 1k words
They’re all always on edge as the full moon grows closer, but James thinks Sirius might be faring the worst. Two days out, he won’t let Remus so much as make his own tea, and when you’re still not home a couple of hours after you’re supposed to be, James has to talk him down from calling the police. 
Now, Remus is comforting him, though neither of them will admit it, the ailing boy’s arms banded securely around Sirius’ midsection where they lie on the couch. Every now and again, Sirius turns his head to kiss Remus’ chin as if to make up for it. James watches them both from the kitchen, wondering if he could get away with slipping some of the anti-anxiety tea you got Remus into Sirius’ brew. 
When they hear your key in the front door, he thinks he hears a relieved sigh go up from the couch. 
“Hi, angel.” James arrests you at the door, beckoning you into the kitchen. “Been missing you.” 
“Hey Jamie.” You set a couple of bags on the counter, letting him pull you in by the waist for a kiss. “Whatcha making?” 
“Lentil soup,” he says, wrapping an arm around your shoulders to keep you close. “Be extra nice to Sirius,” he whispers near your ear. “He’s been worrying himself crazy about you.” 
You pull back to look at him, lips parting bemusedly, but James just pecks you on the side of your head. “Go,” he urges. 
You do as he says, padding over to the couch. “Hi, Siri,” you say, kneeling by the couch. “How’s your—day been?” Your words become muffled halfway through when Sirius wraps his arms around you, pressing your face to his shoulder despite the awkward angle. 
“Where the hell have you been?” he asks, worry inlaid with fondness. Remus’ hand migrates to the dip of his waist, pacifying. “You didn’t leave a note or anything.” 
“Sorry,” you say, slipping free of his grip so you can see him. Your fingers find a piece of his hair, running the satiny tress through your fingers distractedly. “I didn’t expect to be so long, but I couldn’t find Remus’ chocolate anywhere. I think it must be the holiday.” 
Sirius pauses. 
“You were gone all that time getting the chocolate Rem likes?” James asks. He peers inside the bag you’ve left on the counter, and sure enough—bags and bags of it, enough to last for months. 
“Mhm, I had to go to six stores. I saw you were getting low,” you say, now to Remus, “and I thought you might be wanting it.” 
James lowers the heat on his soup, setting a lid on the pot so he can join you all in the living room. Remus’ expression is wavering somewhere between guilty and lovestruck. Sirius looks plainly besotted.
“You didn’t have to do all that,” Remus says, reaching over Sirius to stroke at your cheek. “Thanks, dove.” 
You lean into his touch, cheeks dimpling. “It’s no problem,” you promise. Sirius has a look on his face like he wants to eat you. James feels similarly. “Oh,” you say abruptly, “I set up my diffuser in the bedroom earlier, but since it looks like you’re going to be out here for a while, would you mind if I brought it out?”
Remus’ eyebrows twitch towards each other. “Course not. But what did you have it in my room for?” 
“I put some rosemary oil in it.” You get up, aiming for the bedroom. “I thought it might be good for your headaches.” 
When you return, Sirius apparently decides he can’t contain himself any longer. He sits up on the couch, opening his arms for a proper hug. You set up the diffuser hastily and go to them, letting him squeeze the life out of you without complaint. Your eyes slip closed. 
“Sorry I scared you,” you say softly. 
“You’re forgiven.” Sirius stamps a kiss on the side of your head, rubbing your back roughly. “You’re pretty hard to stay mad at, you know that?”
“That’s the goal,” you reply breezily. James laughs. 
“How’d you know I had a headache today?” Remus asks, watching you and Sirius amusedly. 
You hum into Sirius’ shoulder, not opening your eyes. “Well, it’s only two days until the full moon.” 
Remus goes shock still. So does Sirius, cutting a look James’ way over your shoulder. What the hell is that supposed to mean? 
James shakes his head, shrugging. He hasn’t let anything slip, though he does think it’d be easier if you knew. He and Sirius have tried to coax Remus into telling you a few times now, but the other boy is obstinate. He’s been spurned too much in his life to willingly open himself up to the possibility of it, even if they all know you could never be afraid of him. He’s just not ready yet. 
Still, James thinks sitting here in petrified silence is as likely to give him away as anything else. 
“What do you mean, sweetheart?” James asks you. 
“Mm, nothing,” you hum blissfully, seemingly too content in Sirius’ hold to think about much else. He thinks he can hear Remus’ breath shake a bit on the way out. 
“Right,” James says. “Would you mind helping me in the kitchen for a bit? I could use someone chopping while I stir, or the other way around.” 
“Sure.” You open your eyes, gently easing yourself from Sirius’ clutches. The raven-haired boy eyes you curiously as you go, quirking an eyebrow at James like What do you think she’s on about? James can only shrug again, putting a hand on the small of your back while he follows you into the kitchen. 
As he goes by, he looks again in the bags you’ve brought home. 
“Angel, why did you buy so many bandages?” 
You shrug, taking up a paring knife and beginning to chop celery with careful, even strokes. “We were running out of those, too. Usually you and Siri are more on top of this stuff, but I figured it’s time I started pitching in. I know it’s a difficult time of the month.” 
There’s a dull slapping sound from the couch, and James looks over to see Sirius with one hand covering his mouth, the other stroking soothingly at Remus’ hair. 
“Right.” James swallows. He glances back at you, but you’re just chopping celery, placid as can be. “Thanks for, uh, taking up the mantle.” 
You toss him an easy smile. “Anytime.”

Pairing : Han Jisung x F!Reader TW : anonymous friends to lovers type beat ; physical fighting ; reader is bullied ; angst ; fluffy ending ; Word Count : 8.9k A/N : Haven't even started writing this one yet but I know it's gonna take a bit, I hope the wait is worth it!! I hope that this is good! I kind of changed things a little bit, but I feel like it's still good... right? It has a k-drama feel to it... Not proof read!! Request : Anonny : Hello! If your requests are open can you write something for skz han? Where han is a popular person that everyone likes and he doesn't know the identity of reader but they are able to have really nice conversations. He thinks he found the person he's been talking to and starts dating them and reader agrees to help the person with talking to him. But han actually starts talking to reader and realizes that they were the person he fell in love with. Reader didn't tell him their true identity bc they were told he could never love someone like them. I hope that makes sense.
An anonymous chat room… What could possibly go wrong? It had started as a way for other students to get help with certain subjects without the judgment of their peers over not knowing enough. Soon enough, like most things, it had completely lost its original reason for being made, and now it was being used for anything but studying. There were chat rooms for dissing people, chat rooms for hooking up, and then there was the more… safe chat rooms, for people that were just lonely and wanting to talk, people that were too awkward or shy to have conversations face to face. Everyone had an online identity that no one else knew about… A different persona… It was scary… But sometimes it was nice to just… Talk to someone. 
JiHizzy : Hey! You online? 
Your phone vibrated with the message, and you couldn’t help but smile at the familiar sound of the notification. You had been talking to him for weeks now, and it was the one part of your day that you truly looked forward to. 
JustAnotherGirl : Yeah! What’s up?
JiHizzy : Finally got back to my dorm. I was trying to study for finals…
JustAnotherGirl : I’m gonna guess that didn’t work out for you? 
JiHizzy : Crazily enough, I ended up at the bar instead of the library. 
JustAnotherGirl : I don’t know how you could possibly get the two confused lol
JiHizzy : It’s a friday night, I don’t think anyone was at the library. Weren’t you at the bar too? It was packed. 
JustAnotherGirl : Mm… Nope! I don’t really party like that, I was too busy studying for my finals. 
JiHizzy : Ooh, the innocent type? I like that.
JustAnotherGirl : Are you flirting with me? 
JiHizzy : I might be… You know the acronym of your username is jag… all you need is I and you’d be jagi to me. 
JustAnotherGirl : That must be the alcohol talking…
JiHizzy : Not at all. You’re just my type. I really want to meet you.
JustAnotherGirl : Oh, would you look at the time? We should get some sleep! Goodnight! 
While it was supposed to stay an anonymous chat room, some people were just too popular to stay hidden longer than the first week. One of those people was JiHizzy, better known as Han Jisung, the most popular guy on campus simply because of his looks. All of the girls wanted him, and all of the guys wanted to be him. He was the top of the totem pole, and that put you at the very bottom. 
If the two of you were to walk past each other on campus, he wouldn’t even spare you a passing glance… But with the promise of anonymity, you were able to talk to him every night. You were able to know what it felt like to be liked by someone like him. You could never meet him though, if he found out who you really were… He’d stop talking to you immediately. You didn’t want to lose him… Even if you didn’t truly have him. 
///
JiHizzy : Are you in class right now? 
In the silence of the classroom, the vibration of your phone was much louder than you thought it would be. Everyone turned to look in your direction, and you quickly grabbed your phone and placed it on your lap, hoping that if another message came in, it would be silent. 
JiHizzy : I know you are, you’re such a good girl… WAIT DOES THAT SOUND WEIRD!? I’M SORRY!! 
JiHizzy : I was just thinking that maybe… Maybe you could tell me what class you’re in…
JiHizzy : And I could get a glimpse of you… Or who I think is you… I just want to have a face to go with the name…
You held in your sigh as you felt your phone vibrate incessantly against your lap, chewing on your bottom lip as you attempted to focus on your studies, but it seemed like he wouldn’t let up unless you responded. 
JiHizzy : PLEASE!! 
JustAnotherGirl : Why is it so important? I like being anonymous… I like talking to you…
JiHizzy : Because I like you, and I can’t stop thinking about you, and I want to daydream about you…
JiHizzy : But it’s kind of hard to daydream about someone if I don’t know what they look like.
JustAnotherGirl : Well, daydream about what you think I look like. It’s probably better than how I really look anyway. 
JiHizzy : You’re talking like I’ll stop messaging you or stop liking you if I meet you…
JiHizzy : You don’t think I’m that kind of person… Do you? 
JustAnotherGirl : I don’t know who you are… But it’s just easier like this for me… 
JiHizzy : Alright alright
JiHizzy : I’m sorry if I upset you…
JiHizzy : But hey! I heard that they’re releasing an update soon where we can actually talk to each other on the phone!
JustAnotherGirl : Can’t people tell who other people are by their voice? 
JiHizzy : Idk… But I want to call you when it comes out. Can we at least do that?
JustAnotherGirl : Maybe… I’ll think about it… I have to study now. So do you! 
JiHizzy : Right! Okay, I’ll message you later! 
He daydreamed about you… He thought about you… You wondered what this image looked like, the girl that he thought you were. You were sure that it looked nothing like you, and it was better that way. He was so popular, you didn’t want to tarnish his image if he was even seen talking with you, let alone walking beside you… although you were sure that something like that would never happen. 
///
When the call feature was released, everyone was so excited. People were testing it out as soon as their apps updated… But you were dreading it. Texting guaranteed staying anonymous, but hearing someone's voice, even if they didn’t know what you looked like, a voice was a way to identify someone. Even Jisungs voice, anyone and everyone could tell it was him coming if they heard him talking. His voice was distinct, it was his and his only. You didn’t know how distinct your voice would be, and the only thing you had going for you was the fact that you didn’t talk much at all. 
A time that you’d usually be counting down to now had your stomach twisted up into knots, your knees folded up against your chest as you tried to think of anything but the inevitable phone call that you knew he would ask for. “What’s got you all worked up?” Your roommate asked as she walked into your room. As if things couldn’t get any worse, she just had to be back in at a normal hour. 
Of course you had gotten paired up to dorm with the most popular girl on campus, it was just another way of lifes mysterious twists and turns supposedly. She was absolutely ruthless, and while you had asked to have your room changed at the beginning of every semester, it miraculously could never be done. As if college wasn’t hard enough, having to reside with her was just added stress. 
“Fine. Ignore me. I didn’t want to talk to you anyway.” She mumbled, dropping down onto the ridiculously large and disgustingly luxurious bed that took up almost the entirety of her half of the room. She was rich, of course she was, and she took every opportunity to flaunt her wealth to everyone on campus, and you were no exception, you just got the brunt of it. 
“I’m gonna take a shower real quick… Do you have to use the bathroom before I get in?” You asked, keeping your head down so she didn’t look at you like the peasant that you knew she thought you were. She scoffed loudly, and out of the corner of your eye, you saw her flick her wrist in the direction of the bathroom. 
JiHizzy : You awake? Don’t tell me you’re sleeping already! 
JiHizzy : You haven’t been online in 3 hours! Come onnnnn!
JiHizzy : Are you ignoring me?!?!?! :( 
JiHizzy : Did I do something… Say something wrong? 
JiHizzy : Ahhh… Maybe you are sleeping… Okay 
JiHizzy : Goodnight! Sleep well!!
You never took your phone into the bathroom with you, not just because it seemed unsanitary or unhygienic, you also couldn’t afford to potentially drop it on the tile floor and bust the screen. Maybe you should have, but again, you didn’t think that your roommate would go through your phone. You were pretty sure that she wouldn’t even touch something that belonged to you. You had never been more wrong. 
The vibrating of your phone had caught her attention, and maybe if it had only gone off once she would have ignored it, but Jisung was a spam texter. “Hmm…” She hummed to herself as she snatched your phone off the nightstand, and her curiosity quickly turned to annoyance when she saw just who had been texting you. “No way… There’s no way!” She shrieked, glaring at your phone. 
As the story goes, the popular guy should automatically be with the popular girl… that’s how it always goes! She wouldn’t allow something like this to happen… It just couldn’t. She was being a good person, she had to look out for Jisungs reputation, that’s what it was. Luckily everything was anonymous, you were anonymous… He wouldn’t have to be embarrassed to like you… He wouldn’t even have to know it was you. 
“What are you doing?” She was still holding your phone as you walked out of the bathroom, and your stomach dropped as you thought about what she could have been doing to your phone. Why would she even have it. “Look… I don’t touch your stuff, please don’t touch mine.” You mumbled as you scurried over to grab your phone out of her hand. 
“Jesus, don’t have a tantrum.” She muttered, rolling her eyes as she turned her attention back to her own phone. “Maybe you should silence your notifications before leaving your phone unattended.” Her words only worried you more, prompting you to check what she could have been talking about, and you could feel the anxiousness creeping up further and further until it had taken you over completely. 
She had seen the notifications, and you’d be a fool to think that she didn’t know exactly who it was that was messaging you. Would she tell him? It would be absolutely humiliating, it would destroy you, you couldn’t imagine the way he and his friends would react to finding out that it was you who he had been talking to. Should you tell her not to say anything? “I…” No… It might make her say something. Maybe she’ll forget about it in the morning. That would be the best case scenario. 
“I think Han Jisung and I would be the perfect couple, right? I mean, we’re both popular, we’re both insanely attractive! That’s why I feel so bad for him, you know? It’s not like he’d willingly go for a complete loser, but this stupid anonymous app is really getting his hopes up.” You were right there, she knew exactly what she was doing, but she still had the audacity to look over at you with the fakest smile. “Were you saying something?” 
“N-No…” You stammered, pushing yourself up off your bed and heading to the door. “I’m gonna take a walk, I’ll be back later…” She didn’t say anything to you as you left, simply laughing along with the multitudes of friends that she had on call. Had she told them? Were they all laughing at you? Of course they were, she was right… Why would he want to be with someone like you? You were a nobody, a speck of dust, no… Not even that. People notice dust… you were less than that. 
But why didn’t you deserve to be happy, even if that meant staying behind the safety and security of your phone screen and a basic username? Were you not allowed to have anything? Not even some sort of happiness brought by anonymous interaction? Isn’t that how everything on the internet is nowadays anyway? No one really knows each other… So why is it such a big deal if you talk to him? Why should you be shamed for doing it the way you have been? Could you not even have this one thing? 
Being outside was like a breath of fresh air, at least for a moment, but those thoughts brought on by the words of your roommate were suffocating. Should you even respond to him? He thought you were sleeping already… you could tell him you had been busy… His messages have the ability to help you feel better in an instant, and you needed that now. You clicked on the notification and quickly typed in your password to open the app, and not even a second passed before your phone was vibrating in your hand. 
JiHizzy : Hey! There you are! 
JustAnotherGirl : Hm… Were you just sitting and waiting for me to come online?
JiHizzy : and what if I was?? 
JiHizzy : you know I can’t sleep without talking to you first. 
JustAnotherGirl : I didn’t know that though…
JiHizzy : well now you know! :D 
JiHizzy : so… the call feature came out! I want to call you! Can I?
JustAnotherGirl : uhm… I don’t know… 
JiHizzy : are you in your room? Is your roommate sleeping? I can talk quiet!
JustAnotherGirl : no… no it’s not that…
JiHizzy : I want to hear your voice… please? We can talk about anything! Anything you want! 
JustAnotherGirl : I guess… 
In a second your phone was buzzing, Jisungs screen name front and center on your screen. What a foolish feature this is, why not just give people your phone number if you’ll just talk on the phone? What’s next? Video calling? What if…? You would never do that… You couldn’t… He wouldn’t want to see you anyway. 
Your hands shook as you accepted the call and brought your phone up to your ear. “Hehe, hey! Took you a bit to answer, I thought you’d just ignore me!” His voice came with a face, one that you could perfectly envision in your mind. His smile, the creasing of his eyes as he probably laid back against his pillow, one arm tucked under his head, perfectly at ease with everything. He was so lucky and he probably didn’t even realize it. 
“Oh… uh… no. I was just… trying to find somewhere to sit.” You lied, looking around at the line of streetlamps that illuminated the sidewalks that led to different buildings. “H-Hi…” You stammered, and you knew exactly why you were flustered, why you were so nervous. Jisung was practically a GOD here, and you might as well have been an earthworm with how much lower you were than him. If anyone found out about this, you were sure that the both of you would be humiliated, but for vastly different reasons. 
“You don’t have a couch or a bed or anything in your dorm?” He asked, and you felt stupid, this whole thing just felt insanely stupid. So what if you didn’t have a couch or a bed in your dorm anyway, not everyone was made of money! What was he going to do, judge you for it? “Well… Look, if you need help or anything… I-” 
“I don’t need help.” You stated quickly, and you truly didn’t. Sure, you didn’t have a couch or a flat screen television in your dorm, but you had a bed, and that was more than what most people had, so you had no reason to complain. “I’m actually-” A particularly loud gust of wind whipped around you, the force so strong that you could almost hear it crackling in your speaker, and it whipped up freshly fallen leaves around you. 
“Are you outside?” There was a slight panic in his voice, although you weren’t sure why. It’s not like you hadn’t braved elements far more atrocious than wind before. But then again, he didn’t exactly know you well. With the image he had in his mind of you, he probably thought you were too pretty, too perfect to be outside in the wind, potentially getting your hair messed up. “Did you go outside just to talk to me? I-If I knew you were going to do that, I would have just said to wait until a different day to call. I don’t want you to get ill.” 
You clicked your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Was he always this caring, or was he just pretending? Only the people closest to him would know, and you weren’t close to him at all. Surely to be as popular as he was, he’d have to be some kind of an asshole… That’s how the movies and the shows always depict the popular guys. They were too good for people like you… But… He didn’t know you were a person… A person like you. “It’s fine, really. I’ve walked home in thunderstorms before… A little gust of wind isn’t going to take me out.” 
There was a sigh from his end of the call, and then the rustling of what sounded like sheets or blankets. “Well tell me where you are. You’re already out, and I wouldn’t mind walking a bit to come see you. I really want to know you… I can get my shoes on real quick and-” You hung up the call before he was finished, your breath held in your throat, and you didn’t let it go until you were certain the call was ended. It was rude, sure, of course it was… But why was he so god damn pressed on meeting you!? Why wasn’t this good enough for him too?! 
JiHizzy : Did the call cut out? Was it the wind?? Are you okay!?
JiHizzy : If you don’t answer me, I’ll… I don’t know… I’m not a computer wizard but…
JiHizzy : I know people can trace things and… Please tell me you’re okay. I’m worried.
JustAnotherGirl : yeah… I’m fine… 
JustAnotherGirl : my phone battery is dying… 
JiHizzy : Oh! Okay! 
JiHizzy : Get inside quick, please. Charge your phone and message me in the morning… yeah?
JustAnotherGirl : yeah… 
JustAnotherGirl : Goodnight…
JiHizzy : Goodnight beautiful! 
This was getting worse, it was only going to get harder… Maybe you should cut ties with him now… It would be better that way, wouldn’t it? It wasn’t paying off to selfishly keep him, basically trapped behind your phone screen because you were scared of the embarrassment that would come along with actually meeting him. You needed to let him go…
///
Your roommate was laying in bed, a sheet mask over her face and the bedside table lamp had been dimmed. She was sleeping, at least that’s what you thought, until the door latch clicked as you shut it and she jumped up. “What were you out doing, huh?” The questions immediately started, and you shook your head, going over to your bed and yanking back the blankets. “I know that you weren’t out with… him. He would drop dead before being seen with the likes of you, ya know?” 
She snickered annoyingly, and you whipped around, your face scrunched up as you tried to keep the tears at bay. “How? How do you know that? How should I know that?! Do you know him?! Do you really know him?!” You asked, or, more like begged for her to give you the answers. You weren’t really sure why you were going to her of all people, maybe you were just desperate to hear that… that you would be good enough… Maybe not for him… But for someone. 
The loud laugh that poured from her lips was like a gut punch, and you dropped down onto your bed, absolutely humiliated, devastated, you felt like a fool. “Listen… I’m gonna do you a favor… You know, since we’re… friends…” This was bound to be an awful idea, you were sure of it, but you felt like she was going to keep talking anyway and… It was beginning to feel like you didn’t have a choice. “I think it’ll be a win for both of us… So, I’ll meet him, as you… And you get to keep talking to him at night. He’ll fall in love with me and my beautiful looks, as everyone always does, and… Well, you won’t be lonely. How does that sound?” 
It sounded terrible, it sounded awful, it was an elaborate ruse that surely no one would fall for… But… He wouldn’t ask you to meet him anymore… You’d still talk to him… She wouldn’t bother you or even have a reason to try to embarrass you on campus. You could stay hidden, it could work… It could really work. “Fine…” You mumbled, running your hands over your face, trying not to think too hard. “You… I don’t want to get involved too much with… What the two of you might do… But if he brings it up in the chat… You’ll have to… Tell me…” It was the last thing you’d ever want to know, but if this was going to work, you’d have to give him up just to have him still… It sounded crazy. You’d never have with him what she could… All you would ever be able to have are late night conversations, living out a fantasy through the tellings of your roommate and him. It would have to be good enough. 
“Oh, don’t worry… I’ll tell you everything!” She clapped her perfectly manicured nails together, and you knew there was something sinister about it, but this felt like the only way. “Get some sleep, we have a lot of planning to do tomorrow. This is going to be great!” 
///
“Where did you tell him to meet me… I mean… you?” She whispered, reading over your shoulder to try to see what the messages on your phone said. This was it… Today was the day… She’d probably tell him to delete the app since he finally met “you”. Was it worth it? Probably not… But you had been alone for the longest time before this all happened, you’d be fine with being alone after this as well. Nothing would change for you… But she would get everything she wanted… As if she didn’t have it all already. 
“The… The fountain, at the center of campus…” You mumbled. Would he really think it was you? The two of you sounded nothing alike… But would he be able to pick up on that? Probably not, he didn’t seem like the type that really cared for things like that. He was so excited that you finally agreed to meet him, the messages were flooding in and she had been right there to read all of them. 
JiHizzy : I’m on my way to the fountain now! 
JiHizzy : I can’t believe this is finally happening… We’ve been talking for almost 4 months now…
JiHizzy : Isn’t this crazy?!?! 
JiHizzy : I’m just a little nervous… I hope you don’t mind.
JustAnotherGirl : I don’t… I don’t mind at all…
Have fun… You thought to yourself as you stood at a distance, watching as Jooyi stood at the fountain, switching between sitting on the edge and standing every couple of seconds. She fumbled with the edge of her skirt, and fixed her hair, then checked her makeup. She was nothing like you… Would he be able to notice, even if you had only talked through text and occasionally on the phone? Was he able to tell your personality through little things like that? 
Then you saw him, practically sprinting towards the fountain, it was like everything was in slow motion. Did he even know who to look for? Would Jooyi fit the image of you that he created in his mind? You leaned against the light pole, your phone clutched against your chest… One message and you could ruin this all for her… But it would cost you too much, and you would have nothing to show for it, nothing to gain. People like you weren’t made for people like him, he would never stoop so low as to even look in your direction. They were made for each other… Who were you to ruin things? 
“Jisung!” You heard her voice ringing in your ears, and you looked up from the pavement to see her waving in his direction, and he paused. Did he know? You watched him closely, and you saw the smile slowly beginning to form on his face before he sprinted over to her. His arms wrapped around her waist in a tight hug, picking her up and spinning her around before setting her on the ground. It would never be you, that could never be you… You made two people happy today… It should feel good, but you felt sick, and you quickly turned away, rushing back to your dorm room. You didn’t have to be there to watch it, you’d hear all about it when she came back. 
///
JiHizzy : It was… Wow… 
JiHizzy : Finally meeting you in person! It’s amazing! 
JustAnotherGirl : Yeah! I’m so happy that I finally got to meet you! 
You sniffled softly as you looked over his messages. They wouldn’t be the same again, nothing would. He’d talk about everything that he did with “you”, and you’d just have to respond as if… as if it were truly you there. This… This deal… It wasn’t fair at all. It was just rubbing into your face everything that Jooyi got to do with him… And he was the one unknowingly telling you… She was evil… But she was a master at being just that. 
JiHizzy : Well… Do you want to talk on the phone? I mean… 
JiHizzy : We’ve already met each other and… I don’t know why… 
JiHizzy : I could ask you for your number… But I don’t want to get rid of the app.
JustAnotherGirl : oh? Why?
JiHizzy : There’s just so many memories on here…
JiHizzy : Sometimes when I’m alone or sad… I go back through our messages. You really know how to make me happy…
JustAnotherGirl : Really…?
JiHizzy : Yeah… Really. 
JiHizzy : Don’t tell anyone though! The guys would totally mock me for that.
JustAnotherGirl : I won’t… I won’t tell anyone.
Jooyi burst through the door, shopping bags lining her arms and she dropped them carelessly to the floor before falling back onto her bed, a loud, ear piercing squeal escaping her as she kicked her feet. “He’s so amazing! He’s so much cuter up close! He wants to take me on a date this weekend!!” She squealed again, and you felt disgusted. Did he want to take her on a date, or did he want to take you on a date? Was it her looks or was it your personality that he liked? 
“I’m… Really happy for you, Jooyi.” You lied through gritted teeth. You hated hearing about it, you hated hearing her in general, but hearing her talk about him as if she was the one who had put in the work over four months to get him to like her… It was unfair. You faked a yawn and rubbed your eyes, acting tired just to be able to wipe your tears without her noticing. “I’m gonna go to the library and study. I’ll see you later.” 
She was lost in her own world, but she sat up as you reached the door, your backpack slung over your shoulder and your hand on the doorknob. “Hey!” You put on a smile as you turned to face her, waiting for her to continue. “Did he message you? Did he talk about me? Hmm?” 
You felt your phone vibrate in your back pocket, you knew it was him, but you shook your head. “Haven’t heard from him… Maybe he deleted the app… I don’t know. I have to study though, I’ll let you know if he does.” She sighed softly, letting her head fall back against the mattress, she was back in dreamland. Her whole life was a dream… And yours was a nonstop nightmare. 
///
The library was practically empty when you walked in, you could hear every squeak of the floorboards as the one or two other students paced the shelves of books. You could almost hear the buzzing of the fluorescent light that hung over your head… You could hear… “Is this seat taken?” The man asked, and you looked up to see Jisung standing next to the chair that was across from you. It was strange, and you looked around at the vast amount of empty tables that filled the large building. Why would he want to sit with you? “I don’t like sitting by myself… I feel like it’s easier to study when I have someone sitting with me.” 
Could he read your mind? Pfft, no! That’s impossible. “It’s not taken…” You mumbled, trying to keep your voice low, hoping that he wouldn’t recognize it from the phone calls. You couldn’t even begin to imagine how furious Jooyi would be if she found out about this. Maybe you should just leave. You could study another night. Then your phone vibrated against the table, your heart froze, and Jisung, who had been smiling at his own phone looked up at you. 
“Heh… That’s a coincidence. I just sent a message and your phone vibrated!” He said rather cheerfully, and the way he looked at you, it was like he was expecting you to check it. There was no way in hell you’d do that though. You awkwardly giggled, shoving your phone into your backpack as you shook your head. 
“Probably an email or something… It is… Ironic though…” You whispered, lowering your head even further into the textbook that you had opened. You felt his eyes linger on you though, like they were burning through you, and you didn’t know whether to feel flustered, nervous, or both those things and everything in between. “D-Do you need something? A pencil… Or-” 
“I know you…” He said matter-of-factly, and it was like your throat closed up and your chest tightened. How did he know you? What was he talking about? He couldn’t possibly know you. “You’re the top student… You’re like, mega smart! I can see why now… Do you always study this late?” 
Relief, a sigh of relief and a deep breath. You were safe… You shouldn’t overthink too much. “Mmn…” You nodded your head once but kept it bowed, trying to focus on the words in the textbook, but it was so hard. “Thank you…” You added, wondering if maybe that was what he was waiting for. 
He chuckled softly, and then you felt the table shake as he dropped his own backpack on the table and started pulling out a bunch of notebooks. “You make it seem so easy. How do you just… Concentrate? It’s so hard for me to do.” He whined, and you looked around as his voice got higher and higher. “Oh… Sorry.” His voice dropped back down to a whisper and then he chuckled softly. 
His laugh was contagious and you couldn’t help but laugh along with him, your hand clasping over your mouth to try to muffle the noise. “It’s easy… You just have to find the fun in it.” He rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at you and you pursed your lips, trying not to laugh at his reaction. “Seriously. Here, let me show you.” 
It was supposed to be a solo study session, honestly, it was just to try to get away from your roommate long enough for her to fall asleep. You never in your wildest dreams expected this to happen. It was like a scene straight out of a k-drama, but you also knew that after these types of scenes, things got bad. But you didn’t want to think about that right now… All you could think about was the way that he laughed with you, the way he smiled at you, the way he talked to you like you were a person and not just the dirt beneath his shoes. 
“You remind me of someone.” He said nonchalantly as you both started packing up your books. You blinked a few times, your head tilting to the side as you waited for him to elaborate, but he was looking at his phone, his smile dropping slightly as he turned it off and slid it into his pocket. “Oh… It’s nothing. She must have just fallen asleep. She’s always so tired. She studies a lot… Kind of like you. Maybe you can tutor me… I’ll bring her too! That would be cool, right?” Cool… Not at all. It was the complete opposite of cool. That… That would never work.
“M-Maybe… I don’t know… I tutor a couple other people.” You came up with the lie quickly, and you hated the way his smile almost completely disappeared. Maybe you could make an exception… It’s not like he’d find out… Right? Jooyi would just have to act interested in studying. You were sure that if you told her, she’d be on board… “I’ll… I’ll see if I can schedule you in.” 
And just like that, his smile was back and he was pulling his phone out again. “Awesome! Uhm, how about we exchange phone numbers and…” He trailed off when he saw the look on your face, and you were sure that you looked quite uneasy. There was no way that would go over well with Jooyi, she’d flip shit. “How about Anonny… You know the app, right? Everyone has it!” Oh shit… That was even worse. 
“How about… We leave it up to fate.” His eyebrow arched, and you were really going out on a limb here with the excuses, but you had to protect yourself… Not just from him, but from Jooyi too. You didn’t have much to lose… But it was enough to have you terrified. “If we both manage to come to the library at the same time, if you see me here, I’ll tutor you. I usually come at night though… Just so you know.” 
You bowed your head to him as you got up, putting on your backpack and heading out, and you could hear him following behind you. “I’ll be here. Every night. I’ll study on my own too… Thank you, for helping me.” You hummed in response, pushing open the main door and you were met with a rather brisk gust of wind that had you shivering and shoving your hands into your pockets. “Are you cold? Here…” He shimmied out of his top coat, placing it over your shoulders and smiling when he saw it on you. “You can return it to me next time fate brings us together, okay? Just stay warm, and get home safe.” 
For fucks sake…

JiHizzy : Hey, whatcha up to?
JiHizzy : It’s been like… 3 hours… Are you mad or something? 
JiHizzy : You must be sleeping… I just feel like somethings wrong… 
JiHizzy : Let me know when you get this message… Okay?
Your roommate was fast asleep when you finally got in, and you quickly took off Jisungs coat and slid it under your bed, safe for now at least from the prying eyes of Jooyi. As you curled up under your blankets, ready to just fall asleep, ready to let yourself drift off into a world where you didn’t have to pretend and you didn’t have to lie to the man who had sat across from you in the library when there were so many tables to choose from. The man who smiled at you and made you feel like you were the only person in the room. Then your phone vibrated once more from under your pillow. 
JiHizzy : I was studying tonight… I know how important it is to you and… I wanted to do it. JiHizzy : I met someone there, she reminded me of you a lot! 
JiHizzy : I hope these aren’t waking you up… I know you’re sleeping. 
JustAnotherGirl : I was at the library too. We must have just missed each other…
JiHizzy : NO WAY! Dammit! Well… 
JiHizzy : I was thinking that we can do study dates. Wouldn’t that be cool? 
JustAnotherGirl : It would. I really like that idea. 
JiHizzy : Awesome! Okay! 
JiHizzy : Goodnight cutie! 
Study dates… That’s how you had looked at tonight, or you were just delusional. If tonight had happened sooner… Would you have taken Jooyi up on her deal? He seemed to be just fine with you… He wasn’t embarrassed, he wasn’t ashamed to be sitting across from you and laughing with you… Would he have liked you still if he knew who you really were? 
///
“So, how was your night last night? You got home safe?” Jisung asked and you heard Jooyi giggle loudly, it was so fake, it made you sick. He was such a genuine person, and she was nothing but a stuck up little- 
“My night was wonderful! I went shopping for our date this weekend. I can’t wait for you to see the outfits I picked out!” You sank down onto the bench. Shit… You hadn’t told her… What would happen now? 
“Sh-Shopping?” He questioned, and you wanted to crawl under a rock. You wanted to hide from her and the wrath that you knew was bound to be coming your way. “I thought you were studying? You said… You said you were at the library…” 
She went silent, and even though you were outside, you could feel the tension in the air. “Did… Did I say shopping?! Oh my gosh, I meant studying! I’m a big nerd! You know me!” She laughed again, but this time there was something else… Nervousness? Irritation? Anger? She’d be looking for you. 
“You’re acting weird… Are you okay?” He asked, and she scoffed loudly. Should you spare a glance and risk meeting eyes with her? “Were you just… Lying about studying? Was it to try to… Impress me? You know you don’t have to do that.” 
“I know I don’t. I’m impressive enough!” She said loudly, it’s like she enjoyed making scenes. She was disgusting. “I have to go really quick, I forgot my big ol’ textbook back at my room. I’ll meet up with you later? We can have lunch!” 
“Y-Yeah… Sure…” Something had changed… He wasn’t buying it anymore. But you didn’t have time to worry about that. Jooyi was looking for you, and you were tired of being scared of her. You were tired of worrying about what she’d do or what she’d say about you. Jisung liked you, even if just as a friend… You had been made clear of that last night at the library. She couldn’t even make it one day… The two of you were just too different, and he had noticed. You weren’t sure what would happen next, but you weren’t going to hide away, you weren’t going to give in. You deserved to be happy… You might not have the money, you don’t have the luxuries, but you have the willpower, and you have the drive… And that was worth way more than what her money could ever buy. 
“I need to talk to you… Now.” As if like magic, she appeared in front of you. She was angry, no doubt, but there was nothing she could do to hurt you. So you got up, following her off to the side of one of the buildings, and before you could say anything the palm of her hand connected with your cheek. “You bitch! You said that you’d tell me when he messaged you! Was this your plan?! To humiliate me in front of him!” 
Now it was your turn to scoff, your turn to laugh, and while the sting in your cheek hurt, it didn’t hurt as much as knowing that you almost let him get away, you almost let him get stuck with someone like her. “I didn’t have to plan it for it to work out like this. You humiliated yourself. He isn’t your type… Deal with it.” 
“You…” She started, but it quickly turned to a scream, one filled with pure rage as she started grabbing at the pockets of your jacket. “Give me your phone! He doesn’t want you! He wants me! You’re nothing! You’re poor and you’re pathetic and you’ll never have him! Why would anyone want you!” She just… screamed… She screamed so loud, and with every attempt to grab at you, you swatted her hands away, backing up further and further until you bumped into something… or… someone. “Oh! Jisung!” She full stopped, adjusting her hair and putting on the fakest smile. 
“What are you doing?” He asked, looking between you and Jooyi. “What are you talking about?” His eyes focused on you a lot longer, as if studying you, and you felt the heat of his gaze, but it didn’t burn, it just made you feel warm, it made you feel safe. “Why do you want her phone?” 
Jooyi was stuttering over herself, unable to form a coherent sentence as her head shook violently. “She… Sh-She’s blackmailing me, Ji! She stole my username on Anonny… She’s pretending to be me so that she can get with you… So she can take you away from me!” She whined, and you couldn’t help but look disgustedly at her. She truly was the queen of scenes, stomping her feet and throwing a tantrum like a child would. How pathetic. 
“My… tutor… Is blackmailing… You?” He questioned, and her eyes widened before turning her daggers towards you. “What’s your name on Anonny? If she stole it from you… What is it?” You didn’t have to do anything, he was putting all of the pieces together for himself. You weren’t sure what would happen once the puzzle finally came together… And maybe it wouldn’t work out for you… But to see her get knocked down to size, it made it all worth it. 
“I-It… My Anonny name? You know it! You tell me what it is!” She said, and you knew why, she was trying to get him to say it… But he was smarter than that. He shook his head, letting out a disappointed chuckle, and then his attention was back on you. “Don’t! Don’t look at her! Look at me! You love me!” 
“Do I?” He whispered, but he never looked away from you, his head tilted and a small smile on his face. “What’s your Anonny username?” He asked, and you felt the heat rising inside of you. This was your chance, your moment, you didn’t know where it would lead you to, but it was time. 
“I’m… JustAnotherGirl… Just another girl that has a crush on you… That gets overlooked and forgotten. But I’m here… And I’ve been here for four months…” You murmured, and he let out a shaky gasp. Was he embarrassed? Was he ashamed that you were the girl he had been talking to for so long? “I’m sorry. I’m not popular, I’m not even close to rich. I don’t have much to give… But-” 
“But you’re perfect…” He stepped closer to you, causing you to stumble back as your breath hitched in your throat. “You’re smart, and you’re sweet… You’re kind and you’re genuine. You’re not materialistic, you’re just… You’re wonderful, you’re wonderfully you…” His hand reached up, his knuckles brushing lightly against your cheek. “You’re the girl that I fell in love with…” 
“WHAT!!?” Jooyi screeched from behind you, and before you knew it, you and Jisung were being pushed apart. “Are you serious right now?! Her?! She’s… She’s a roach! She’s vermin! I can’t believe you right now! Have you seen me?!” 
“Sadly.” Jisung retorted, and it took everything in you not to laugh, but everyone that had gathered around to see what was going on laughed enough for you. “I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t talk about my girlfriend like that.” 
“G-Girlfriend?!” Jooyi scoffed, running her hands through her hair. “You’ve got to be kidding me! Just… When you lose all your friends because you’re with a loser, don’t come crawling back to me! Have fun being not popular!” 
“I think it’s time for us to go, don’t you?” He asked, completely ignoring her now as he draped his arm over your shoulder. “You want lunch? Anything you want, it’s on me.”

HanJi : I’ll be at the library soon. I’ve got hot cocoa!
Beautiful Wonderful Girlfriend : Don’t drive too fast, the snow is really coming down now… 
“I know it is…” His voice came from behind you, and then the cups of hot cocoa were placed in front of you on the table. “It’s really pretty, isn’t it?” You glanced out the window, awestruck at just how beautiful campus could look when blanketed in dazzling white snow. “You brought your coat, right?” 
You nodded your head, patting the chair beside you where the coat that he had given you almost 2 years ago was neatly hanging over the back of the seat. “It’s your coat… You just won’t let me give it back.” You teased, and he let out a soft sigh as he dropped down into his seat. He hadn’t changed a bit since the first time you both sat at this table together. 
It was strange how time worked, it felt like forever ago, but you remembered it like it had happened just yesterday. “It’s our coat, babe. What’s mine is yours.” He sounded so serious, but you couldn’t help but laugh at the statement. He was talking like the two of you were… Married? Your laughter subsided as you stared at him across the table, your lips parted slightly as you let out a quiet breath. 
“You’re funny…” You said sheepishly, turning your attention back out the window, focusing on the snowflakes that danced down from the sky, finding the perfect place to rest. “We’re not married, our things don’t have to be shared…” Even though you both had been together for two years and he was the sweetest, most loving boyfriend you had ever had… You still couldn’t get those words out of your head. The words from the past that had been uttered by the girl that had wanted to take your place… He would never want to be with someone like you…
“Yet…” He murmured, the word like a breath leaving his lips. You blinked a few times, feeling the heat rising in your cheeks, your heart thumping loudly in your chest. Did he really love you that much? Could someone really love you that much? Were you deserving of this much love, to be with someone like him? “What are you thinking about, babe?” He cooed, reaching across the table to grab your hands that were folded on top, his thumb brushing lightly across your knuckles. 
“I’m just…” You began, feeling the familiar sting of fresh tears beginning to brim in your eyes, but it was slightly different this time… They weren’t tears of sadness or fear… You were happy. “I’m so lucky… And… I never thought I’d be with someone so amazing… So perfect…” You could barely get your voice above a whisper, your throat closing up from trying to hold back your tears. 
“Mm…” He hummed, pushing away from the table and getting up, walking around to your side of the table and grabbing your hand. “Let’s take a walk… yeah?” One more glance out the window and you saw the snow creating almost a wall of white as it came down harder, but there was no wind, it was just… beautiful. “I’ll keep you warm, don’t worry.” 
You nodded your head, grabbing the coat and slipping it on, the scent of his cologne, although faded, still brought you comfort when you put it on. “Where are we going?” You quizzed, slipping your fingers between his as you both walked out of the library. You were sure that nothing would be open, not with this weather. 
“Anywhere… I just… I want to walk with you.” He said, his voice kind of shaky, like his nerves had gotten the better of him. He led you aimlessly through campus, and you followed right along beside him. You didn’t really care where you were going, as long as you were with him, you’d follow the path he was taking blindly with your hand in his. “I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’ll do it…” 
Was he talking to you or was he just thinking out loud? You looked to him, the snowflakes catching on your eyelashes as you tried to read him, but he was looking straight forward, his lips turned up into a lopsided smile. “How you’ll do what?” Even though you were speaking softly, the silence that surrounded you made every word sound so loud. 
“Propose.” He sounded so calm, but the singular word alone had you pausing, pulling him back so he would face you. “What? Can I not think about how I’m going to propose to my wonderful, beautiful, amazing, sweet, lovely-“ 
“Okay okay!” Even after 2 years, you still weren’t the best at taking compliments, especially when he was looking at you so intently. “Why are you thinking about that right now? We’re still in college and… I want you to focus on graduating. So we can both be successful. You know?” 
His hand slipped out of yours and then his arm snaked around your waist as he started walking again, pulling you along with him. “I can focus on graduating, and I can focus on you. I’ve been doing it since the day I truly met you… the real you.” He chuckled quietly, the sound building in his chest as his head shook. It was funny now, to look back on everything that happened. “And I like thinking about the future, it makes me happy to know that I’ll be spending it with you. But you don’t have to worry about me proposing in college… I wouldn’t want everyone to see. I want it to be a moment for us to remember.” You hummed softly, leaning against his shoulder as you simply listened to him, you let him get lost in his thoughts because you didn’t mind getting lost in them either. They had you looking forward to a better, simpler time where the two of you would be able to be together without worrying about grades and finals. “Flower petals will line the path that I’ll take you down…” He murmured, and your eyes were focused on his face, not noticing the trail of pink and red in the snow. “A gazebo, with fairy lights twinkling brightly, shining in your eyes…” He continued, sighing softly. “Nobody is around, the snow is falling, you look absolutely stunning against the backdrop…” 
“A winter proposal?” You asked, and you were so lost in his thoughts and your own that you hadn’t even noticed how far you had walked until he was leading you up the stairs of a white wooden gazebo, perfect icicles hanging off the roof of it, and… fairy lights illuminated the inside. “Ji…” You whispered his name, a tuft of smoke coming from your mouth as you breathed it out. His arm left your waist and he kneeled down in front of you, his cheeks a dark pink from both the cold and his nerves. “You said… You said you wouldn’t propose when we were still in college…” 
He snickered, fishing a black velvet box out of his pocket, his snow dampened hair curtaining his eyes as he kept his head down. “I meant… not while we were in the college. We’re not on the grounds anymore…” He finally looked up at you, and you let out a shaky gasp as it truly set in what he was doing. “I don’t want to wait any longer, I know that you’re the one that I want to spend all of my life with. I’ve never felt more comfortable with anyone else. I love you, I’ve known that I loved you since before I even… before I even knew you. I wake up every morning and thank everything that you’re mine, and I fall asleep every night knowing that no matter what, everything will be okay because I have you by my side. I don’t care what anyone thinks, I don’t care what people might say… I only care that you’re happy… And if you say yes, I promise… To do my best to make you feel happy and loved every single day until the day that I die.” He opened the box, and the diamond facets of the silver ring glistened and reflected the lights that had been strung up. “So… Will you… Will you marry me?” 
You choked out a sob, dropping to your knees in front of him as you nodded your head yes, and he quickly pulled the ring out of the box, his hand shaking as he slid it onto your finger. “Ji…” Was all you could say as you looked at the ring, cold, yet so beautiful in its place. His chilled hands cupped your cheeks, tilting your head so that your eyes would meet his. “I love you…” 
“And I’ll always love you.” He leaned in, kissing you softly and humming against your lips. “Shall we go back inside and warm up, my beautiful, lovely, wonderful, amazing-“ 
“Stop~” You playfully whined, giggling quietly as you dropped your gaze once more. “You’re so cheesy…” You mumbled, and then you felt his lips against your forehead, his fingers brushing your hair out of your face. 
“And you’re… You’re everything to me…” He pushed himself up to his feet, carefully pulling you up and then hugging you tightly. “Thank you, for making me happy, for loving me… I can’t wait to marry you."

Now We Pay The Price | Pt. 2
Start with Pt. 1 HERE!
Pairing: Jonathan Crane x Reader
Word Count: 5.4k
Warnings: ALL OF THE SAME WARNINGS AS PART 1, plus more angst, some fluff, general dark themes, depiction of a stick n' poke tattoo, violence, makeshift weapons, fear toxin, Crane spikes someone's drink (not the reader's)
A/N: Back by mildly popular demand lol :) First, I have to give a huge thank you to @cillianslvt for all of her help with brainstorming, concept bouncing, and song picking! She gave me the perfect inspo for this part: Supercut by Lorde.
I wanted to do something a bit different here, so this is told in alternating cuts between the fallout from part 1 (written in past tense) and flashbacks to the reader's college days (written in present tense just to be confusing lol). I probably will be writing one more part for this, but it might be a while before it's out because I kind of want to take a small break from angst haha. But, I hope you enjoy this part!
***Please read the warnings before continuing. Minors DNI***
Tumblr media
Somewhere out in the echoing hallway, an alarm buzzed.
“Lights out in five minutes!”
The guard’s booming voice was almost too muffled to understand through the thick metal door. But you weren’t paying enough attention for it to matter. It was the same routine, for the hundredth time. You didn’t need an announcement to know that you were about to be plunged into the dark.
And besides, you had more important things to worry about.
Your fingers traced over the hearts that still littered your bedsheets. Contained to one of the corners for now, but wild and scattered, as if they might be about to spill out over the rest of the white cotton at any moment. Unrestrained.
You clenched your teeth, trying hard to focus on something other than the hailstorm of tremors that seemed ready to wrack your body. Your skin was prickling. If you opened your mouth, you weren’t sure if what came out would be a sob or a scream. You didn’t particularly want to find out.
The familiar sound of a key in the lock was enough to pull you out of your stupor. Quickly, you covered the doodles again, and whipped your head toward the door, hoping.
But no. It was nobody. Some faceless orderly, sent to give you the pills that you never took, if you could get away with hiding them.
Tonight, though, you decided to behave. You had certainly been causing enough trouble lately. And besides, if you were being honest, you could use them. Your mood had been a complete mess all day, and a little stability would be nice, for a change.
You swallowed your pride along with the pills, and flopped back onto the mattress. As soon as the orderly was gone, you inched the sheets back down, exposing the blue stains. Tomorrow was laundry day, and you knew that you wouldn’t be able to enjoy them for much longer.
Seconds later, the lights flicked out, and you were left alone with your memories.
Tumblr media
The asphalt beneath your feet feels like it’s not even there as you practically skip down the driveway, and you’re not sure how gravity still has a hold on you by the time your hand wrenches open the car door.
“Hey!” You smile as you climb in, whipping around quickly to fasten your seatbelt. Maybe that will be enough to ground you, but it doesn’t seem likely. “Thanks for picking me up.”
“You took long enough to get out here,” he replies, slightly snarky.
But when you finally look up at him, his soft half-smile makes your heart melt, and your legs and arms feel even more weightless than ever. His blue eyes peer over at you from just below the rim of his glasses, and he tilts his head while he waits for you to respond.
“Fuck off, Jonathan,” you laugh, waving a hand in his direction.
He shakes his head, shifting to take hold of the wheel.
As he starts the car, the two of you sit in silence for a moment, and you use the opportunity to take a closer look at him. He’s bundled up tightly in his jacket. A slight chill permeates the air, though you feel perfectly warm sitting next to him.
“I don’t know how you can stand driving around without listening to music,” you say suddenly, reaching for the radio.
It takes you a minute to find anything worth listening to. Static mixed intermittently with snippets of sound fills the car as you carefully turn the dial, until finally landing on something you know. Satisfied, you sit back.
“I don’t know how you can stand listening to this,” Jonathan laughs. “I mean, are you even hearing these lyrics?”
“I like the lyrics!” you insist. “What’s wrong with them?”
“They’re just cheesy,” he says, dismissively.
You roll your eyes, and settle back with your arm resting against the car door. Before long, your head is bobbing along to the music, and you start to hum.
You’ve only known Jonathan for a few weeks, but already it’s become nearly impossible to ignore the way your heart pounds when you’re next to him. It’s nerve wracking - to think he might not feel that way about you. But you don’t let yourself imagine that possibility too often. It’s better to stay positive, and look to your future together. You honestly can’t imagine things any other way.
At the start of the chorus, your humming turns gradually into words - quiet at first, and then louder when Jonathan doesn’t try to stop you. Soon, you’re singing at full volume.
“You know, distracted driving is the number one cause of car accidents,” he informs you.
When you look over, you notice the small smile that tugs at the corner of his lips.
“But music improves mood and cognition,” you shoot back, interrupting your singing to give him a slight shove. “Shouldn’t you know that, Mr. Psychology Major?”
Jonathan scoffs, but mercifully keeps his mouth shut when you open yours to start singing again, rolling down the window to scream into the night.
Tumblr media
Your eyes, tight with heavy sleep, shot suddenly open, to be met by the darkness of your cell. Breath heavy, you tried to remember the dream you’d been having. Whatever it was, it had gotten you worked up. So much for the sedatives doing you any good; maybe Crane hadn’t actually upped your dose like he’d threatened to do.
Or he had, and this was just your body’s paradoxical reaction to the sudden increase. Not that you had been taking the regular dose with any consistency.
You considered getting up, but what was the point in that? There was nowhere to go but from one corner of the small room to the other, and you had spent enough time pacing back and forth to last a lifetime.
The small window set high up on the wall of your cell let in a sliver of light, just briefly, as a rotating searchlight made its round, and you closed your eyes again.
Tumblr media
The university’s library is calming, in a way. The seemingly endless stacks of books reach out to greet you as you run your hands over their spines, walking slowly down one row and then another. 
You’re looking for something specific, but not a book. You know that he always comes here at this time.
Jonathan is crouched down to reach something on a low shelf when you finally see him. You hover, half-hidden, at the end of the row where he’s kneeling, and watch as he flips through the first few pages of a book. Satisfied, he stands up, and you saunter into the aisle to join him.
“Hey,” you call, softly. “Thought I might find you here.”
Jonathan tucks the book under his arm, and looks at you curiously for a moment.
“Hey,” he echoes, apprehensive. “Don’t you have class right now?”
“Do I?” you ask, stopping next to him. “Whoops. Whatcha reading?”
“Nothing. Just a book for class. Unlike some people I know, I take academics seriously.”
As he talks, he tilts his head to the side and takes a step closer to you, crowding you back against the bookshelves. He’s smiling. Just having fun with you; you’re sure of it. But you can’t stop the warm rush that spreads over your cheeks.
You try to straighten up under his gaze, bringing the tip of your nose close to his.
“I take this stuff seriously, too,” you insist. “Here, I’ll prove it. What’re you studying?”
Before giving him a chance to respond, you reach down and snatch the book from his hand. Brushing a thumb over the cover, you consider the title.
“Phobias, huh?��� you muse. “No offense, Jonathan. But you’re not very scary.”
You beam as you watch a blush creep over his cheeks. He’s been doing that around you more often, and every time you notice it, your heart swells.
“You don’t think so?” he drones, taking another step closer.
He’s nearly on top of you as you press back into the row of books, and you feel your heart leap into your throat. Not out of fear, but for an entirely different reason.
“Nope,” you challenge. “Not scary at all.”
“Hm. Guess I’ll have to try harder then.” 
He snatches the book back and starts to move away from you, but before he can get too far, both of your hands shoot out. Your fingers grab onto his sweater, and faster than you have a chance to think, suddenly your lips are pressing against his. Eyes squeezed shut so you don’t have to face his reaction, you hold him. But when you let go of his shirt, he stays there for a few seconds longer, before pulling away.
“That was scary,” you breathe, finally daring to meet his cold eyes.
But, what you see there is softness, mixed with slight shock. The piercing, frost-blue that normally seems to slice through you has taken on a watery quality, as if something has melted, if just for a moment.
You take a deep breath as Jonathan leans back in.
Tumblr media
By the time the orderlies had started to wheel their huge bin of laundry down the narrow hall, your white sheets were already torn off and crumpled at the foot of your bed. You weren’t about to take the risk of anyone else seeing the hearts you’d drawn. This way, they were unlikely to be noticed. At least until after they’d already been mixed with all of the other patients’ laundry, untraceable to you.
Before, the worst that could happen was you losing your pen - a sorry excuse for entertainment, but nothing vital. Now, losing that same pen meant losing your one chance at freedom as well, and you weren’t prepared to give that up.
You stood in the far corner of the room, watching silently as two men came in to collect your sheets. They didn’t comment on the fact that you’d stripped your own bed - perhaps too caught up in their meaningless conversation to notice.
When they left, you finally felt able to breathe again. You exhaled, trying to push every last trace of air out of your lungs so that you could start fresh again.
Sitting back down on your new set of sheets, you ran your hand over the blank space that no longer bore even a faint trace of love.
Tumblr media
“What are you doing?” Jonathan asks, leaning over your shoulder to peer down at whatever has you so occupied.
“Giving myself a tattoo,” you reply easily. 
“What?”
“It’s just a little heart - see?”
You carefully hold up your wrist to him, showing off the half finished lobe of a heart. One side of it, anyway. It’s slow going, but you’re determined to take your time; to not rush through the impulsive decision you’ve made.
“Why would you do that to yourself?”
“Because I felt like it,” you reply. “Do I need another reason?”
“Did you at least sterilize your wrist - and the needle?” he sighs.
“I used some hand sanitizer. M’sure that’s good enough.”
Jonathan pinches the bridge of his nose, putting his other hand on his hip.
“You’re going to hurt yourself,” he complains.
“Well, it’s not like I can’t stop now, though - right?” you say, playfully. “You’re always telling me not to leave things half finished.”
Jonathan sits down in the chair next to you, as you go back to carefully maneuvering the needle. Your tongue sticks out from the corner of your mouth, frozen in concentration. You jump, just a fraction of an inch, as the sharp point breaches your skin.
“Give me that,” Jonathan mutters.
He’s already swiped the needle away from you, and is holding your wrist down securely against the table as he inspects your work.
“This isn’t going to heal nicely,” he informs you.
“I don’t care.”
To your surprise, he dips the needle into the little pot of ink that’s sitting on the table between you, and then lines up the point to continue.
“You’re pushing it in way too deep,” he says, peering over his glasses.
When he presses down, the sharp end of the needle barely seems to graze you. It doesn’t hurt so much when he does it. Jonathan’s thumb brushes over the flesh of your palm, soothing you.
“You’re good at this,” you comment. “You’ll make a good doctor someday.”
Jonathan tries to hide his smile, but you catch the small curl of his lips despite the way he’s hunched over, focusing on your tattoo. The second jab is just as painless as the first, and you smile back.
“This isn’t exactly what I picture myself doing for work.” He laughs - just a small hum, but it’s there.
“Right - you want to study the fear of needles. Not be the one jabbing patients.”
“Something like that,” he agrees.
The two of you sit, huddled close in the silence; you watching Jonathan work as he gingerly uses the needle. It’s strangely intimate, and you feel closer to him than you have in a long time. 
Not because you’ve spent too much time apart. On the contrary, you’ve been seeing each other more often than ever. But the more time you spend with him, the sharper you seem to feel his small absences. It has, lately, started to seem like you need to see Jonathan more and more often just to feel normal; like you’re in danger of something bad happening when he’s not there.
“Thank you,” you say.
“For what?”
“The tattoo means more, now that you’re the one doing it.”
Jonathan keeps his head bowed, trying desperately not to let you see his expression. The tips of his ears give him away, though, as they turn a bright pink behind strands of hair that have fallen away as he leans down.
“Jonathan?” “Hm?”
“It’s polite to say ‘you’re welcome’ when someone thanks you,” you tease.
As he looks up to narrow his eyes at you, you take the chance to lean in and press a kiss to his cheek.
Tumblr media
The harsh white fluorescents buzzed over your head as you leaned back in your uncomfortable chair. You’d sat in this same plastic seat for probably dozens of therapy sessions. Not once had the miserable thing ever done anything other than give you back pain.
“Are you paying attention?” the doctor in front of you asked.
“No,” you replied.
What was the use in lying, when it was obvious to both of you?
The doctor hummed in annoyance, shuffled some papers, and frowned at her clipboard. 
“Well I suggest you start,” she began, “because what we’re trying to do here is very important. You know your appeal is in the process of being reviewed, and…”
You tuned her out, turning your attention to the much more important matter of planning your escape. Even just thinking those words made you feel strangely giddy. This was something that happened in movies and cheap paperback novels; not real life. But, you had made up your mind, and there would be no going back now. You were going to rebuild your life with the person who mattered most, and doing that meant that you needed to get out of here.
You thought of the ballpoint pen, now modified and hidden, deep within the bones of your mattress. It had taken patience to sharpen the plastic casing against the concrete, and patience was something you didn’t have much of these days. But in the end, it would all be worth it.
“...three counts of manslaughter, and two more of - are you listening?” the doctor repeated. 
“Why should I? We both know that I’ve heard this a thousand times,” you sighed.
The doctor, equally as exasperated, crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
“Whatever. It’s your life.”
“My life doesn’t exist in here,” you whispered. “Not the one I want, anyway.”
“Well, it’s the one you’ve got, so maybe you ought to start acting like it,” she suggested.
You ignored her, and retreated back into the world that only existed inside your memories. Yours… and his, if you were lucky.
Tumblr media
The room is dark and full of music. Music, and bodies - swaying in time to the rhythm; draped over furniture or pressed up against walls, as lips meet and hands wander. You pass by two people who look like they’re three seconds away from ripping each other’s clothes off, and duck under the raised elbow of somebody else as they pump their fist in the air. A clamor erupts as you pass; some conversation you’re not part of that’s full of hollered laughter and shouts.
You’re looking for Jonathan, amidst all the colors and flashing lights. You’d left him several minutes ago to go and find the bathroom, and got turned around on your way back. The slight buzz of alcohol makes your limbs a bit looser than usual, and you pause to savor the deep thrum that emanates from the sound system. As you close your eyes, your feet sway a little, and you smile.
Jonathan is never interested in going to parties with you, but for whatever reason, he had accepted the invitation tonight. You like to think it’s because he just wants to spend time with you, even if loud, messy gatherings aren’t usually his idea of a good time.
Finally, you find your way back to the couch where you left him. And there he is, smiling that soft half-smile you know so well, from the hundreds of times it’s made your heart do somersaults in your chest.
You frown. Scowl.
Jonathan is leaning forward, hands on his legs as he talks to another woman. Smiles at her. You stop short in your tracks, and watch from a distance as Jonathan tilts his head to her ear, whispering something.
The girl stands up, giggles while she looks down at him for a moment, and then walks off. You see red; a crimson wash that feels slightly too familiar as it drapes over you.
Jonathan, still on the couch, smiles for a moment longer before reaching into his pocket. The girl has moved on by now, and you watch as the affable grin is wiped neatly from Jonathan’s face, replaced by something blank and more difficult to categorize.
There’s a tiny glass tube in his hand. You can’t see what it is exactly, but you can make out the way he removes a cap, and then brings his hand close to the red plastic cup that’s sitting on the table in front of him, right where the woman had been.
Your rage propels you forward, and without time to think things through, you’ve grabbed the sleeve of his jacket before you even realize you’ve reached him.
“Shit- Oh. It’s you,” Jonathan mumbles.
“What the hell are you doing?” you hiss.
Jonathan looks at your hand on his arm. The vial, now empty and still pinched between his fingers, hidden from the rest of the crowd. And then back up to your face.
“This isn’t what it looks like,” he begins.
“What are you doing?” you repeat, your voice wobbling louder.
Jonathan’s eyes dart off to the side, and he stands up quickly. Suddenly, his hand is in yours and he’s dragging you off, heading for a set of glass doors that lead to the back patio.
“Let’s go somewhere more private,” he says, and you can barely hear him muttering over the sound of the screeching music and the pounding, frantic whir that seems to have taken over your head. 
By the time you’re outside, the door shut firm behind you, you haven’t calmed down a bit.
“Jonathan-”
“I swear, I’m not doing anything bad,” he interjects. “I know that it… probably looks like I’m-”
“Why her?” you say, softly.
You can’t even stand to look at him as you speak. Your whole chest feels impossibly heavy; as if it’s consuming the rest of your body, piece by dissolving piece.
“...What?” Jonathan looks at you curiously, as you feel yourself fall even more fully apart.
“Why her, when I’m right here, huh?” you demand, tears squeezing out from behind your damp eyelashes, even as you try to blink them back. “I’m yours, Jonathan. I’ve been yours. All you have to do is ask.”
“That’s not… God, I’m not trying to-”
“You don’t even have to try with me!” you cry, voice rising up into a frenzy. Your hands fly to slam against him, pushing him by the shoulders. “You’ve never had to-”
You cut yourself off, and cradle your wrist to your chest. The tattoo that he gave you is settled close by to your heart, and you bring your other hand up to trace absently over the ink that mirrors it.
“Listen to me,” Jonathan says, taking hold of your shoulders. You look up at him, salty tears still welled in your eyes, starting to spill down over your cheeks. “That’s not what I’m doing. This is just… research.”
“Research?” you echo.
“Yes. That’s all,” he assures you. Both of you have started to calm down, and the pressure of his hands on your shoulders finally becomes noticeable. “It’s for… how do I phrase this?”
The sounds of the party are muffled out here, but suddenly a sharp scream rises over the music. Both of you turn to peer through the glass doors, and you catch a brief glimpse of the woman from earlier, just as the red plastic cup falls from her hand. She claws at her face, and sinks to the floor, still screaming.
Your focus shifts back to Jonathan, and you watch as he stares through the glass, his eyes frigid and, suddenly, calculating. His hands are still on your shoulders, and you feel as his grip tightens slightly, as if his fingers are itching to do… something. You can’t say quite what.
“...Fear,” you breathe, quietly.
You aren’t sure exactly what’s going on, but some sort of vague understanding has started to seep into your nerves, mending the frays that had threatened to form. Like healing salve, soothed over all of the tiny rips and tears that had nearly pulled you apart, only seconds ago.
“Yes,” he agrees. “That’s all I wanted her for. I swear.”
It takes you a moment to realize he’s looking at you again, a serious expression on his strained face. His eyes seem to bore into yours, but it’s comforting, just to feel like he’s burrowing into you.
The commotion inside becomes louder; more shouts of alarm rising to join the first, and you hear something crash to the ground. But you’re not paying attention to that anymore; you’re swimming in Jonathan’s eyes as the tears slowly dry from yours.
“Jonathan?” you ask. “Can we go home?”
He turns to look again at the riot that’s quickly developing inside; the bass of the music replaced now by shrill cries that have risen above everything. For a moment, you think he’s about to refuse, and the lump in your throat almost tears through the delicate flesh of your neck.
“Sure. Let’s go home,” he agrees.
You walk, hand in hand, away from the party. Looping around the house and down the sidewalk, your fingers intertwine with his in the night air. You smile, and grab onto Jonathan’s arm, pulling him closer.
Tumblr media
Today was the day.
You pulled your sleeve down, trying to cover the now-sharpened pen casing that was held tight in your sweaty hand. The tip of your finger brushed over the point, as you went over the plan in your head again.
If you could manage to be stealthy enough, you wouldn’t even need the pen. Not that you would hesitate to use it, but there was a certain amount of risk that you’d prefer to avoid if at all possible. Things could get messy, and that would be sure to draw attention. For once, you didn’t want Crane to notice what you were doing.
You stayed close to the wall of the cafeteria, practically hugging the stone as you walked briskly. It was important to be fast, but not too fast.
“What are you doing?” asked a sharp voice behind you.
You would have spun faster than either of you could blink, pen at the ready to plunge into his neck. If only you hadn’t recognized the voice.
Crane grabbed you roughly by the shoulder, and you screamed silently behind your eyes.
“Nothing,” you said calmly. “Going for a walk.”
“You’re not allowed to do that,” Crane sighed, already dragging you to face him. His expression was just as drab as the bricks that now pressed into your back. “What’s in your hand?”
Your finger flicked over the sharp point again. This was the one possibility that you hadn’t imagined, of course. The one opponent your weapon was useless against, all because you couldn’t bring yourself to use it.
With your jaw set and shoulders squared, you straightened up to face him. You wouldn’t shy away from his eyes, even if looking at them meant facing the disappointment that lurked, not-so-subtly beneath their surface.
Crane grew impatient awaiting your answer, and grabbed you by the wrist. You let him. It was useless to resist, and the two of you glared at each other as he yanked your hand and your fingers fell open. The story was written over your palm, almost as clearly as if you had used the pen to record it across your own flesh.
Crane picked up the wrecked pen, considered the jagged edge of the plastic, and pocketed it. Without another word, he turned and dragged you out of the cafeteria, heading toward your cell.
Tumblr media
Jonathan’s hand in yours is restless; seeming to flutter as his thumb drifts absentmindedly, rubbing back and forth in a way that might be more soothing for him than it is to you. You want to help him, but you’re not sure how. You’ve noticed the anxieties that have seemed to overwhelm him lately, and you wish there was more you could offer him.
“Maybe you should take a break,” you suggest. “We could watch a movie or something. Go for a walk?”
Jonathan shakes his head, and tears his hand away to go back to scribbling on the pad in front of him. The paper is already littered with letters and symbols that mean nothing to you. Three vials full of pale liquid - Jonathan’s pet project - roll gently back and forth on the table.
“I can’t get it right, and I don’t know why,” he snaps, frustrated. “I need to run more tests, but…”
“I could test it for you,” you offer.
Jonathan looks at you with a mix of shock and, maybe, revulsion, and you feel yourself shrink back into your seat.
“I wouldn’t ask you to do that,” he says.
“You don’t have to ask,” you reply. “I’d do anything for you.”
His expression morphs into something that’s harder to read. That’s been happening more and more often lately, and it’s started to panic you when it does. You know him so well, but suddenly, there are sides to him that seem almost foreign to you. You bring a hand up to cup his sharp cheek, and the smile stretched over your own face feels plastic.
“Us against the world,” you remind him.
Jonathan places his hand over yours, only for a moment before pulling away entirely.
“I just… want to know I can do something,” he says. “Something I set my own mind to.”
“You can,” you assure him. “You have.”
“My whole life, I’ve felt as if I’m just reacting to things that are outside of my control,” he continues, almost as if he hadn’t heard you. “I just want to understand why.”
Emotion has crept into his voice, and your first instinct is to pull back. You ignore it. Instead, you place a kiss on his temple, and he lets his head fall to rest on your shoulder. The room is silent for a moment, as you wrap both your arms around him and try to think of something to say.
“You know I’d be lost without you, right?” you ask, gently. 
“That’s because you have a dysfunctional attachment style.”
You stop. His words, flat and unemotional, pierce through you as if he had stabbed instead of spoken them. You can feel the ground opening up at your feet, and struggle to reassert yourself.
“That’s not true. You… don’t mean that,” you flounder.
“Maybe I don’t,” he agrees, halfheartedly. “Who knows anymore.”
Your heart aches. You hate that he’s talking like this is the end of something. A foregone conclusion that’s just out of his grasp, but that he doesn’t even care to reach for. A sentence on a page, half-finished but forgotten.
“You’ve been working too hard,” you decide. “You’re tired.”
“I am tired.”
“Let’s go to bed, then,” you suggest. 
He nods, and you take hold of his hand to guide him, the dark ink of your tattoo pressed up against the blank space on his wrist.
Tumblr media
Back in your cell, Crane didn’t bother to lock the door behind him for once. Instead, he stood directly in front of it, hands on his hips as he stared down at you.
“I would say I’m shocked, but I’m not,” he sighed, voice already grinding against itself. “But, what I can’t figure out is this. What gave you the idea that this would go well for you?”
You didn’t answer.
“It’s not as if I don’t monitor you.”
Normally, the admission that he’d been paying attention to you would have made your heart flutter. But now, it felt like there was nothing more than a pit in your chest. The same one that was always there, longing for something that could fill it without being swallowed.
“You’re lucky it was me who found you, and not somebody else.” He moved one hand to pinch at the bridge of his nose, just like he always had. For as long as you’d known him. “Don’t you ever stop and think before you act?”
That was insulting. You’d spent plenty of time thinking about this. In fact, it was all you’d been focusing on for weeks - at least when your mind was clear enough to focus. 
And really, he was one to talk. How many times had you helped him crawl out of one failed situation or another? It wasn’t fair for him to talk like everything he did went perfectly, when both of you knew very well that it didn’t.
“Don’t have anything to say?” Crane pried.
You felt anger swell furiously within you, and - as if to prove the point he’d just made - you surged forward without thinking. Crane didn’t have any time to react, and you pressed your lips up against his in a harsh kiss that felt sickeningly void of love. Your cold fingers grabbed at the front of his sweater, and you felt your lips crush into your teeth, desperately searching for some hint of the spark that you felt certain was still there.
Crane scrambled, his back pressed against the hard door, and finally tore you away from him.
“What are you doing?” he spat.
Your eyes were downcast, unable to meet his, and you bit the cracked skin of your lips.
“Who knows anymore,” you replied, echoing his words from long ago.
“You need to control yourself,” Crane hissed. “If you can’t, I’m not going to keep making excuses for you.”
His words might as well have just echoed off the stone walls, vibrating in an empty cell. You weren’t listening. You weren’t even there anymore.
Fleeting as a beam of light. 
Crane collected himself and then left, departing just as the sleek ribbons of past life came to wrap over you again.
Tumblr media
You woke, not realizing that you’d fallen asleep. You weren’t sure how long it had been since Crane left, but, judging by the way the lights were already turned out, it had been hours. 
Automatically, your hand went to the top corner of your mattress, intent on blindly tracing over the hearts that had once been there on the sheets. But of course, they weren’t anymore. Instead, though, you heard a clatter as something fell to the floor.
That was odd. Certainly, you hadn’t left anything there this morning. It wasn’t as if you had any possessions to leave.
Groping in the dark, your fingers slid across the floor. Finally, you found it, and held the object up close to your face.
A key.
Your lips curled as you held tight to the metal.

What would happen if Darling showed a little jealousy towards the girls who flirt with Ezra?
Oh my goodness! i am so sorry covid kicked my butt and i’m still not better lol, but anonie ily, idk if you’re the same nonnie that’s been sending all or at least most of the ezra asks, but i am working on them all!!! i promise i just haven’t even touched this app in DAYS. T.T

Status: Not Dating (but close to it)
You stab your pencil into the knot in the wood of your table. It’s so hard to listen to your professor next to Ezra. Today’s a little different though…
“Ezraaaaa~” a gorgeous peer touches his arm, and fawns over him. He’s watching you with some weirdly satisfied expression on his face. You roll your eyes at him. He chuckles back and your brows furrow ferociously. What? did he just— “When are you gonna come back over? we’re having a party this weekend…”
Now a few guys are walking up and one of them pushes another forward, He sputters for a sec before speaking up “H-hey Ezra! um, wanna go out this weekend again?”
“Oh my gods, can I please just focus!? leave him alone! the professor is literally speaking!” The pencil snaps, half of it stuck graphite first in that same wooden knot. It’s been ground a little deeper than it was earlier.
“Ew. You can always—” The gorgeous one starts, before Ezra cuts her off.
“Nah they’re right. This is boring as shit.” He leans over to your ear, “‘sides, I like you mad,” He’s wearing a beaming grin as he pulls back.
He grabs you by the waist and pulls you outside, the professor doesn’t spare either of you a glance.
As soon as you’re out in the hallway, his raw strength is forcefully slamming you into the lockers, rattling the metal doors.
“Ezra??” You never see him this passionate or nice? Sure he’s still rough, but he isn’t hurting you.
He lifts your legs and wraps them around his waist. “Owch,” One of the latches is digging in your back, you laugh a little “sorry, my back”
He moves you both down an inch or two, his lips crashing onto yours before he pulls away to take in the sight of you.
“Why do you make me feel this way…?” It’s like he didn’t mean to say that… You feel like you’ve seen something you almost… Shouldn’t have? You look down and away. “No. Look at me.” He pulls you back roughly with his hand on your jaw.
“Fuck, Ezra…. I don’t know… Maybe you shouldn’t” You choose your next words as carefully as you can. “have been so mean. Prolly feelin guilty or somethin’”
“That too.” His lips assault your neck now, teeth biting and air puffing against you. Your body is a whirlwind of sensation.
“too?”
He either doesn’t hear you or just doesn’t answer.
Your arms are locked around his neck but your fingers tingle with yearning. Youdecide to trust him with your weight and let go in favor of tracing his muscled arms. You both sigh into eachother. The Ozone and forest scent of him comes through and fill your senses once again.
Even the smell of smoke is starting to welcome you back. You don’t let yourself think twice. You deserve some feel good sex after everything he’s done to you. He owes you. “Yeah.”
“What?” He pulls back with glistening lips to inspect you his expression quizzical but still smiling.
“You owe me. a lot. actually.”
“Oh? hah! fine whatever. now open up.”
You push your crotch against his bulge harder, “I have been, just waiting for you.”
“Fuck, good” He pats your head affectionately. His hand falls down your face almost… Lovingly.
You try and shove those fluttery feelings down. This is Ezra after all.
Once inside he’s bouncing you desperately on his thick pulsing cock. His hands are wrapped around your throat getting you so close to blacking out it hurts. You try to tap out but he continues pounding furiously into you.
You deliciously sloppy hole stretches around his width perfectly. His grunts fill your fading and popping hearing.
“F-f-ff” you can’t speak at all. Finally you feel him shuddering and filling you with his thick streaming cum.
He drops you.
You slump unceremoniously down onto the smooth waxed floor. Cum leaks out of your still exposed hole.
You have to catch your breath, and while you are indisposed you see the flash of Ezra’s phone camera. Then he leaves you there. His walk a satisfied swagger down the hall away from the classroom and toward the front doors.

Doysumi hc's and such for the mentally unwell
• While it may seem like the clingier one out of the two would be Katsumi, it's actually quite the opposite. Hector absolutely hates the idea of anything bad happening to Katsumi, this fear causing Hector to be practically glued to his side at all times. Something in his blood just tells him he needs to be...protected. Kept away from any danger or even just things that might upset him. But on certain occasions, Hector's overall clinginess can be somewhat selfish, like keeping Katsumi from meeting with people out of jealousy. What do you get when you give a murderer psychopath who knows no love at all a nice guy who understands him and makes his heart pound in mysterious ways? A very clingy and protective murderer psychopath.
• I don't wanna make this seem like Katsumi's doesn't realize that Hector can't stay away from him and sometimes does things just to keep him by his side because Katsumi does know this. In fact, he's very aware of Hector's quite clingy feelings towards him. Despite what you may say about...Katsumi's way of thinking, he's actually quite attentive! He can realize when Hector is doing things to keep him from somewhere or someone, and tries to assure him that he really loves him, but he can take care of himself. The "love you" part usually gets him.
• Before meeting Katsumi, Hector had no concept of love or any sort of affection. The tight feeling in his chest and overall flustered feeling whenever he was around him completely and utterly confused him. Up until that point, he hadn't received any kind of affection or even kindness from anyone around him, so it suddenly overwhelming him was certainly jarring. He didn't recognize the feeling as love at all, at first. He considered whether or not Katsumi was using some sort of psychological karate technique on him (lol)
• While Hector isn't particularly one for baking or cooking, he does seem to enjoy (attempting) to make certain sugary foods for Katsumi and his very concerning sweet tooth. Oven almost exploded once but its fine. It should be fine. It's ironic though how Katsumi always makes a deal about not wanting to eat too many sugary things for health reasons but whenever he's faced with double chocolate chip cookies he...loses himself. I mean, have you seen how much sugar this guy puts in his tea? It's scary. But Hector really finds a kind of happiness in the sight of Katsumi enjoying the food he worked hard to make for him. He's often learning new recipes and consulting Retsu on cooking tips.
• Hector wasn't exactly...treated too nicely by his peers when he was younger, and it wasn't just because he was always alone. That red hue of his hair made him an easy target in particular. He was often called some pretty abhorrent names during his time in school. Katsumi, though, really likes Hectors hair and tends to compliment it quite often. He thinks the color is vivid and fitting for Hector. It's beautiful. He is beautiful. Katsumi really makes sure he knows this.
• Before Hector became as clingy as he is towards Katsumi, he originally was quite hesitant to get closer to him. He's never really gotten to know anyone, but at the same time he knows he's never really tried either. But even still, he closed himself off and attempted to distance himself from Katsumi. After all, he's just your typical cold-blooded killer. Why should he need to "open up" to someone? And not just anybody, someone who was so...different from him. "Why would this prodigy with an incredible future ahead of him want to be around...me of all people?" He couldn't help but laugh, taking a drag of his cigarette. He couldn't wrap his head around it at all. But that warm feeling when Katsumi was around. It was almost addicting. It was to die for.
• One of Katsumi's love languages is gift giving. Excessive gift giving. He sees a beautiful pair of expensive earrings while shopping? He buys them and gives them to Hector. A beautiful red dress that compliments Hector's style? He buys it and gives it to Hector. Blooming bouquet of roses? He buys them and gives them to Hector. I think you see the theme here. Hector does tend to worry about how much money he spends, but Katsumi always reassures him that it's really no big deal. (He has spent 100,000 yen on Hector in the last week.)

Two - New Romantics
Previous >> next
Masterlist
Taglist
A/N - lol this feels so weird these chapters are so short compared to what I write for ‘to the end and back’
‘Baby we’re the New Romantics’
"So, you're really going out with this guy?" my friend Tara asks. she's sitting on my bathroom counter while I'm applying my makeup. "it's all fake pr shit" I say as I rub my lips together making a pop sound as I make sure my lipstick is even. I was hoping for this to help get my breakup with Andy out of the media or at least help bring the attention away from it. it had been the main focus of almost every interview with and article about me. I just wanted to be asked about something other than Andy. "he's cute though" she mutters as I dab some lip gloss onto my lips. I can't lie to myself and say Joel isn't cute. he's muscular but also has a dad bod at the same time, he has dark brown hair, and matching brown eyes. he was hot, every time he's around me my cheeks flush and my hands get shaky. he was just I guess a little too old for me, or at least he's way out of the age range I thought was appropriate to date. "yeah, but he's too old feel like my mom would actually murder me if I actually dated him" she nods as she grabs the lip gloss tube out of my hand and begins applying it to her lips.  it wasn't like he was 50 my mom was just weird when it came to age gaps and her daughters. "He's what 37? its only 11 years and you're an adult," I shrug "it's for the best, don't really need to be in an actual relationship right now." 
knock knock knock.
"Oh, that must be him" I say as I slip on my heals and stumble down the stairs. Tara follows after me as I open the door. there's Joel dressed in a nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt with a bouquet of red roses in his hand. butterfly's flutter in my stomach as I smile at him. he was such a gentleman even though we weren't actually dating. "Thank you, let-let me get these in water really quick you can come in" I say with a giggle as I run into my kitchen. I quickly grab a vase and fill it with some water before placing them into it, leaving it on the counter. I walk in right as Tara is looking him up and down "Tara" she mutters "Joel nice to meet you." ollie saunters over making all the tension fly away as he rubs his head against Joels shin "mreow" 
"alright we should go, I'll see you later k?" Tara nods as Joel takes my hand. I hear the door shut behind us, "don't think she liked me" Joel laughs, I shake my and "no Tara's like that" Joel and I walk to his car, it was a red convertible. somehow the paparazzi knew he'd be here, they're lined up outside the on the sidewalk snapping pictures. the flickering of the camera lights can get annoying, but I've gotten used to it. it's not like they are ever going to leave me alone, so I have to. "y/n! are you two dating? Joel!" they scream as he helps me into the passenger side of the car. I roll my eyes as I settle myself into the car, I was okay with them being at a restaurant because that's a public place, but this is my house. "You alright?" Joel asks as he gets into the driver's side. he starts up the car "yeah, just this is my house y'know they shouldn't be here" Joel nods as he places his hand on the backside of my seat and turns around as he pulls out of my driveway. my stomach flips. why is that always so hot? "ya think I'd go to jail if I ran one of them over?" he jokes with a grin on his lips. I shrug as I laugh "probably." 
"ya look pretty" he whispers which makes my stomach do a few more flips, "thanks you look good too" I say as I push a piece of my hair back behind my ear. we go to a nice little Italian restaurant that Joel said his daughters both really loved. it was small family owned and probably not expecting a full crew of paparatizi standing outside peering through their windows. we have a table in the way back, so we don't have to pretend so much. 
"What are ya gonna get?" he asks, I shrug as I hold the menu in front of me. "Dunno you?" the dinner is mostly just us chatting, barely any eating. we talk about his family mine, why he chose football, why I chose singing. "So, you know bout my family what about yours?" he asked, family was weird for me it wasn't like I didn't have any, but I didn't spend much time with them. "Well, I have 2 younger sisters' bout a little bit older than Sarah." he nods, "they live here in Texas?"
I take a sip of my water whilst I nod. "Yup up in Dallas though."
 when we finish up our dinner and the waiter brings us the check Joel pulls out his wallet "I can pay my half" I whisper as he pulls fifty dollars out of his wallet "no ma'am" he says as he places the fifty into the check book and hands the check book back to the waiter. he didn't have to be such a gentleman we both had money I could've easily paid my half. "I'll pay you back then" he shakes his head "nope no need." 
"Then I'll tip" he shakes his head again as he places another fifty down on the table. "come on I don't want it to seem like I'm some type of sugar baby." he laughs again, I didn't want the media to somehow find out about him paying the whole check and tip he would be loved for being 'a gentleman' but I'd get criticized for 'making him pay when I've got money' "sweetheart no need c'mon no woman should pay while there on a date"  the pet name makes my heart skip a beat. I let out a sigh of defeat and stand up and follow him towards the front of the restaurant. almost everyone who's in the restaurant heads turn, their eyes following after us. Joel grabs my hand before we walk out the door and into chaos that was outside. I keep my head down shielding my eyes from the constant flashing of the cameras. Joel guides me towards his car. "y/n! y/n how was your date?" 
"Joel is it official!" 
once we get back into the car, I let out a sigh. even though this is what we wanted the attention it can be exhausting. all the yelling, all the lights, sometimes id trade all of this for one day without someone following me around with a camera. "Thank you it-it was nice" I whisper as I place my phone in my lap. he smiles down at me as he places the keys into the ignition. the car starts up with a loud growl as both the radio and air conditioner begin to blast. he pulls out of the parking spot and then we're on our way back towards my house. 
I stare down at my phone, staring at a tweet linked with a shaky probably cell phone taken picture of Joel and I walking hand in hand out of the restaurant 'they're so cute!!!' I let out a sigh. there are about 5 million pictures of me like this hand and hand with a man walking me out of a restaurant about all of them were with Andy until now. I wonder what he thought about me being in a 'relationship'. I hoped he felt like bad, I hoped he regret the moment he decided to break up with me, but I know he probably doesn't. I know he's probably unbothered by it, he probably doesn't give one flying fuck even though I spent months mourning the relationship. I spent months hoping, praying, begging every god to make him regret it and come back, but he never did and now I'm here kind of actually happy with another man. another man is making my heart skip a beat the same way he did. another man makes me blush when he calls me sweetheart, just like Andy did. and for the first time in what feels like forever I don't want to cry when thinking about Andy, but I smile reminiscing on the relationship I had spent so much of my time in. I still wasn't ready to be in another relationship, at least right now but this could be fun. fucking around a little bit.
Joels car comes to a stop in front of my house. "I had fun- we-we should do this again" I whisper as I look up at Joel, he nods a small smile forming on his lips. I actually did have fun, it had some weird thrill, faking a relationship. "Ye-yeah it was fun text me maybe?" he looks down at my lips before looking back up into my eyes almost as if he's asking for permission to kiss me. I nod slightly before we both begin to lean in. it felt like something out of a romcom, the football player, and the popstar faking a relationship for personal gain, but they end up falling in love. a match made in heaven. 
"Hey!" we both quickly pull apart both our heads snapping towards the voice. there stood at my front porch with ollie dangling from her arm was Tara her face barely illuminated by the porch light. she somehow found a way to cock block me all the fucking time. "you're fucking cat pissed on the goddamn floor!" 
I let out a frustrated sigh as I unbuckle my seatbelt "I'll see you later."
-
I cleaned up the pee off the ground, and is now laid in bed, Tara laid next to me with her phone in her hand, and ollie sleeping at the foot of the bed. "So, is it still pr?" Tara asks, I roll my eyes as I nod "still pr" I whisper. I can see from the corner of my eye that she's scrolling through twitter, almost every tweet contained a picture of Joel and I either hand in hand walking out of the restaurant or walking to his car earlier that night. it made my stomach flip in a weird way; it made me feel all giddy.  "you two looked pretty in love in these pictures" she mumbles as she turns the phone towards me showing me a bunch of pictures of Joel and I. "acting" I whisper as my phone buzzes in my hands.

B5 s03e12 Sic Transit Vir table of contents - previous chapter
A two month break isn't too bad compared to my seven month break last year, right? hah
Ivanova seems to be having a naked-at-work dream?? Lol, yes it was. I am actually amused that even in her dream the staff had the nerve to act like anything was out of the ordinary.
Vir checking out his future throne! Get it.
Was Vir also having a dream? Interesting way to open an episode, if so.
Londo having a totally normal reaction to having a bug buzzing around your apartment. Maybe going after a bug with a sword is actually good enrichment for him? I'm impressed that he got it.
"Do you know that you are smaller than I thought you were?"
LOL
Ah, Londo's second-greatest weakness, a beautiful Centauri woman. (his first greatest weakness is someone offering to commit war crimes to elevate his political standing.)
Awww, Sheridan and Delenn are so cute nowadays I can hardly stand it. Just…oozing adorableness at each other at all times.
VIR. You are an ambassador in your own right. Don't be so deferent to Londo!!! You are peers!!
Who tf arranged this marriage?? I hope Lyndisty is nice if they do get married. Ah, answered immediately. One of Vir's uncles, and Lyndisty's mother.
She seems nice. I tentatively like her. And it seems that Vir does, too!
"If you give me a chance, I promise you: when we cross beneath the swords and boughs…it will be for love."
I hope so!! I don't like it when bad things happen to Vir. He takes it like a champ but it's like watching someone kick a puppy.
"Do you think I'm pretty?" "Oh, deliriously! But I always associated delirium with fever. So…there you are."
Wow! I feel like that was definitely his first kiss.
"If kisses could kill, that one would have flattened several small towns."
Lyndisty is coming on SO strong it worries me that she's going to be nefarious. But Vir probably would need any partner to be much more….bold than he is.
Sheridan made Delenn a Minbari dish!
Not well it seems. Their courtship COULD be so rocky, but both of them are so determined to be genial it's actually so smooth!
Well Sheridan did say that nothing stays calm on B5 forever. What instigated this attack, though?! And Zack Allen, if you wanted the attacker to survive, maybe don't shoot them in the head??
Personal grudge against Vir seems…unlikely. And makes me way more suspicious of Lyndisty.
As horrified as Ivanova is to be asked what ladies like in bed, she's definitely a better option to ask than Londo, Vir is right.
Well now idk what Vir is talking about and also don't want to know! Keep that cursed Centauri sexcapades knowledge away from me please.
Delenn is wildly good at speaking indirectly but completely clearly. Wow! If she flirted with me like that I would simply perish.
All two thousand Narns that Vir got off Narn are dead! That's a hell of a motivation for a revenge killing. And the immediate cut to Lyndisty, again, makes me very suspicious of her.
FUCK YOU LONDO. ugh. gross fucker.
Ahhh, Vir faked killing them. Good for him! But maybe he faked their deaths too well, since there's assassins after him now. Vir has been doing so much good work, wow!!
FUCK YOU LONDO. why does he always have to be such a nasty, power-climbing, fascist dick?
"They're Narns, Captain, they don't need a reason for murder." goddamn shut up.
Lyndisty is a "nice" racist. It isn't their fault they're an inferior species, but their inferiority is justification to genocide them!
oh god.
not such a "nice" racist after all, though none of them are, really.
Wow B5 always goes hard. this is dark as fuck. Lyndisty helped murder entire Narnuan villages to "curb aggression," She might be one of the most gleefully murderous characters that's appeared on the show so far. Perhaps second only to that panacea episode with the war criminal.
Here's the puppy-kicking. Stop, Londo. Fuck.
Someone else to be sad for Vir about! No more vacation on Minbar, and emotionally attached to genocidal fascist who has personally murdered hundreds of Narns with her bare hands. Yikes.
And we never found out what happened to the Narn that Lyndisty captured! Hopefully he got free and then snuck into her shuttle back to Narn so Vir can be a widower. He'd get over it.
time for some arthuriana

Snowed In
Summary: In where [Y/n] and Sinclair get snowed in during her visit with him and a bit of warming up is needed. (Prompt 18 Snowstorm)
Pairing: Sinclair Bryant x FemReader
Tag(s)/Warning(s): Fear of the dark, cuddles and comfort, Smut! [grinding, kissing, stroking and petting, a little bit of praising, begging, penetration, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it guys)], slight feeling of guilt, reassurance
Word Count: 5K (I'm screaming)
A/N: And in a part two that was never supposed to be (shout out to @deepperplexity this is for you lol❤) Here is a nice little smutty addition to day 10's prompt (you can find it right -> here <-). Now let's not waste any time and dive in :D!
Tumblr media
Whoever was working at the Met* needed to be fired immediately. Every single one of those useless gits because not only did they incorrectly forecast the timing of the snowstorm that was currently preventing [Y/n] from leaving Sinclair’s home (how was that even possible with all the computer models they should have?). But they also didn’t mention how ferocious it was going to suddenly turn when sunset arrived. 
Bloody good use of her tax dollars those lot were. 
So here [Y/n] was buried under layers of blankets even as the heating unit kept the home at a comfortable temperature and the worst of the cold out. It wasn’t warm enough for her though, and she had nearly ransacked Sinclair’s bedding closet for more blankets before retiring to the guest room she had been staying in.
Tossing and turning, waiting for sleep to take her, she found that it continued to evade her due to the relentless winds outside causing the windows to rattle something fierce.
It honestly kind of scared her and she kept worrying that they might shatter or something. Sinclair had told her quite gleefully though that they were shatterproof so she didn’t have to worry about it, but still, anything could happen!
And unfortunately, while that anything didn’t come with the glass shattering, it did come in the form of everything suddenly becoming much darker and quieter around her. The sound of the heating unit suddenly went silent. And the white noise from things plugged into walls also went dead leaving her with a ringing in her ears.
Oh no for the love of-
“Sinclair!” 
His name was the first thing she squeaked out as she poked her head out from underneath the blankets, eyes only seeing darkness as they tried to adjust to the lack of lighting. There was a dash of hope that he had heard her call for him in the silence of the house but who was she fooling knowing he had probably fallen asleep the moment his head hit his pillow. 
Pulling the blankets up to her chin she peered around the room nervously taking in the different shapes and sizes of the pieces of furniture that littered the room.
Each of them was shrouded in darkness and each of them seemed as if they were moving whenever her eyes bounced to another piece. And then there were the creaking noises from the wind. And the windows kept shaking. And was there something behind that dresser?
“No no no no, [Y/n], stop it you’re a grown woman and you are not afraid of the things in the dark-” 
There was a loud thud that came from the far side of the room that had her shutting up and shooting out of the bed with all her blankets still wrapped around her as she made a beeline to the bedroom door.
It was a miracle that she hadn't tripped over all of them as she flung the door open and marched just down the hall barely making out where she was going in the darkness. Thankful that Sinclair’s bedroom had only been two doors down she went and turned the knob hoping it was unlocked and almost cheering when she met no resistance trying to get in.
“Sinclair are you awake?” Her voice was hardly above a whisper as she peeked into the bedroom, eyes landing on the large bed in the middle of the room where she could see a lump that was no doubt who she was looking for. 
There was no answer at first. But she had no desire to linger in the hallway any longer due to the unfounded fear of something grabbing her from behind. Shuffling in and closing the door, she made her way over to the foot of the bed all wrapped in blankets before calling out to him again.
“Sinclair, wake up!” She hissed, wrapping the blankets against her tightly as the cold air began to already try and seep into her bones. 
For a moment she watched him stir in hopes that he was waking up before those hopes were dashed and he ceased any movements other than the steady rise and fall of his back. Oh no, this wasn’t going to work, no not at all. She refused to freeze in a dark room all by herself and she was going to make it his problem too. 
Creeping over to his side of the bed, she reached a hand out through all the layers she currently had wrapped around her before violently shaking him and calling out loudly,
“Wake up!”
If her yelling didn’t wake him up, the sudden sensation of being jostled and pushed had his eyes snapping open and his heart racing as he startled awake because who in the world? Tossing over to see what was going on, the first thing he was met with was a black mass hovering over him before he was shouting confused, and still bleary from sleep.
“Fucking hell what in the-!” Eyes squinting in the dark and making out that it was [Y/n] standing at the foot of his bed and not a murderous maniac, Sinclair’s head fell back onto the pillow, a sigh of relief slipping out as his hand flew up to push his hair away from his face. He gave a silent thanks that the person standing over him wasn’t a murderer but his silly friend before turning back to her and groaning. “[Y/n] you look like the bloody ghost of Christmas past. What are you doing in here?”
A frown tugged at her lips at his words and she pushed him again lightly earning a gravelly huff of ‘stop that’ before answering.
“The lights went out and it’s dark and the windows are rattling and I think there was someone in my room.”
So that’s why it was so dark? From the sound of the wind whipping outside, he guessed it made sense that something had happened to knock the electricity out and with how ferocious the storm was it would be a while before they were back. 
Fan-fucking-tastic. 
Thinking a little clearer now that he was more awake than before he scooted up from the bed, back resting on the headboard and looking over to [Y/n] who was swaying side to side as she waited for him to say something.
“[Y/n], I highly doubt there is anyone in your room.” He murmured, yawning and closing his eyes again. “It was probably just the walls creaking or something hitting them from outside. Go back to sleep.”
“Are you sure because you sure thought I was a stranger so there could be someone!”
“Well, what is one to do when they wake up and all they see is a black mass hovering over them and squawking?”
He had a point there but still even if there wasn’t anyone in the room, it was going to get cold fast and that was equally something distressing to her. Biting her inner cheek as she was not at all keen on going back in the dark hallway to the dark room, she shuffled over closer to the bed before sitting on the edge of it. 
“[Y/n] what are you-”
“Can I stay with you?” The question came with no hesitation as she already began to lay on her side, or tried to as the mountain of blankets over her prevented her from leaning all the way. 
Any tiredness that he had wore off at her words and his eyes opened up to make out her lumpy shape next to him. Stay with him? In his bed? That was a little too risky for him considering the warm budding feelings that had emerged from the depths for her over the past few days she had been helping around and cheering him up. Maybe it was how bright and merry she had been in his gloom, making him feel somewhat more alive than he had been for the past few months.
She had somehow even gotten him to dance with her the night before to some old records that she had brought and he loathed dancing. Plus it had been a while since there had been another to share his bed and he just didn’t know how he felt about that. [Y/n] was absolutely lovely and dear to him and while he absolutely adored her he found that it was a bit of a liability and he didn’t want to hurt her.
Taking his silence as a ‘no’ she rolled herself over to look at him and for a moment he couldn’t help the amusement he felt as she struggled to turn around due to all the blankets around her. After a second she was finally successfully maneuvering herself over so that she was able to look up at him from her spot.
“Please?” She whined softly, wiggling in her blankets and already getting comfortable because there was no way in hell she was going back into a room with a potential murderer. “It’s going to get cold in the room by myself and you know how I get when I’m cold.”
“[Y/n] I don’t…” he hesitated as he felt her shuffling close to him while laying her head on his shoulder causing his already deteriorating resolve to falter even more. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. You kicked me when you were napping on the sofa yesterday and I would rather not be on the floor in the morning.” 
It was a truly feeble excuse and he would have laughed at himself if he wasn’t so desperate to avoid a scenario that would have them both embarrassed. There was this line in the sand that he felt was drawn between them especially because he had supported her financially and helped her find a better job in the past. And if something happened, well he didn’t want her to feel like there had been strings attached to his help. 
“Promise I won’t kick you then.” She spoke, breaking his thought process and bringing him back into the present. “It’s too damn cold for me to be moving around like that anyways.”
Even in the dark, he could envision her giving him that puppy dog look as she said that. It was the same one she had given him a few days ago that started all this indulging of hers that left him with a growing warmth in his chest on those chilly days. Wide eyes and a tiny pout on her lips. Those pretty little lips of hers that were just made to be kissed-
‘Fucking hell Sinclair what are you about to get yourself into.’
Was what he thought as he sighed out his answer.
“Come on then but I better not end up with a bruised back,” he groaned, scooting over so that she could have some more room to lay down on. A childlike giggle left [Y/n] at his words and she began to scoot over toward him with the mountain of blankets that actually threatened to push him to the edge of the bed.
“Christ [Y/n] you look like a giant marshmallow! At least unwrap yourself and put them on top.”
A snicker of ‘okay’ left her as she rolled back off the bed and began to strip layer after layer of blankets off before tossing them on top of the bed and quickly crawling back underneath them with him.
She wiggled next to him before turning around so that her back was facing him and for a moment he felt a sigh of relief pass through him. Good, they could face back to back and he didn’t have to worry about-.
“Now here you come face my back so you can be my back warmer since you somehow fare better in this weather than I do.”
‘Oh no.’
“[Y/n] wait I don’t think-”
“No none of that you don’t think it’s a good idea,” she huffed out trying to glare over her shoulder at him while going to tug his arm over to her, “it’s a better idea than me freezing to death so come on no complaining ‘Clair.”
His eyes narrowed at her little nickname for him as he turned around to face her back as she had asked but only because he had some words about what she had called him.
“Don’t call me that,” he hissed out as his cheeks warmed in annoyance from the name. “One of those twits at the firm likes to call me that as if we’re friends and has a madding habit of slapping me on the shoulder when we see each other.”
“A right tosser and an arse if I have to say so, you should tell him not to call you that, and to learn some boundaries,” she yawned, scooting herself into his front to get cozy as his hand automatically went to hold her waist.
“You don’t think I want to?” His tone sour as he thought about the one colleague that he wished he could push out one of those glass elevators. Subconsciously his fingers tightened around her waist and had he been listening closer, he would have heard the harsh breath that she had let out from him squeezing her. “He’s unfortunately married to the head of finance and you know he would probably go running to her if someone didn’t play ball.”
“Mhm.”
Her clipped answer had him peering over her even though he couldn’t see her expression in the dark, curious if she was already falling asleep. It also didn’t help that she had buried her face into the pillow beneath having quickly gotten comfortable with him. 
“Have I bored you to sleep already with my complaining?”
“A little bit of that but,” there was a hint of playfulness, a breathiness in her voice as she pushed back against rubbing her bottom against his front that had a spark of electricity coursing through both of them and a gasp leaving Sinclair at the movement. “You’re really warm.”
Embarrassed wasn’t even the right word for how he felt at the moment as he felt himself twitch and harden slowly against her bottom. Mortified was more appropriate and he probably looked like a ghost with how the color felt like it was draining out of him. 
“Love-,” no even that harmless word felt dirty at that moment as he tried to pull away from her only to be caught off guard when a little moan left her throat.
“No it’s fine stay,” she whimpered, tugging his arm back over her waist, entangling her fingers with his as she laid his hand over her lower stomach. Pushing herself back against him and grinding gently against the growing arousal that he was trying to put a lid on even though it was far too late for that.
“[Y/n], y-you don’t- I’m sorry I didn’t-.” He could hear how his voice trembled and if he could think straight he would probably try and do more to push her away but fuck was there something in the back of his mind that wanted to hold her closer. 
It had been too long and she was so soft in his hands, so warm, and the cute moan that had just left her lips had him aching in ways he couldn’t remember. But still, he had to give her an out. They could just forget it if she said no and he would happily oblige her.
“We don’t- you don’t have to do this [Y/n],” a breathy groan left him as she stroked the hand in her grasp with her thumb as she continued to roll her hips languidly against him.  
“I know.” It was a clipped answer as she continued, a breathy sigh leaving her as she felt how he began to harden against her with each roll of her hips against him.
“I don’t want you to,” his sentence was interrupted by another faint moan as he felt her begin to rock her clothed bottom against him slowly and steadily. There was no rushing, just a gentle bubbling build-up inside both of them as she held his hand close to her. “ I don’t want you to feel like you have to do this.”
“But I want to,” she turned her head as far as she could to look at him, pausing her movements and giving him a playful smirk that she knew he probably couldn’t see. “And plus I’m still cold and I think it be a fun way to warm up?”
He bit his bottom lip. This was a terrible idea. A foolish one that they would regret the next morning. But if it was so ridiculous, why in god's name was he letting her take his hand and trail it down her front letting it rest right at the edge of the waistband to her pants? And why was he becoming more eager with each roll of her against him to feel her warmth wrapped around him and sucking him in? 
Each whine and mewl had him throbbing and the way he could feel her stomach trembling underneath his fingers had his digits twitching wanting to touch and stroke her and bring her some form of pleasure like she was for him. And it was like she could read him because she was suddenly pushing his hand just past her waistband where he could feel her skin radiate with heat. 
“Go ahead,” she panted out her stomach clenching at the tingling sensation that intensified in her belly as he brushed against the sensitive skin. “Do what you want, I want it too.”
There was no need for her to ask twice before his hand was sinking down between her legs and cupped her leaking cunt harshly. His palm began grinding into her aching clit causing her to lay her head back against his front as a sharp cry of,
“Sinclair!” Escaped her throat as jolts of electricity had her spasming as soon as he began to rub circles against her. 
The sound of his name coming out of her mouth with such fervor sounded like music to his ears and he didn’t know what possessed him as he leaned over her and latched his lips against the exposed neck.
Another whine left her as she began to grind against him in the same rhythm he was touching her and oh it was so damn good. Feeling how thick, and large he was as he made her body sing his praises with each grind of his palm and each press of his fingers against her opening that was a soaking mess for him at this point. 
Fuck she felt like she was suffocating and burning up underneath his hurried touches and combined with the mountain of covers on top of them she was surely going to pass out from the heat. 
Well, she did want to be warm, didn’t she?
“Sinclair, want you in me please?” She mewled out, panting as her hips moved erratically while the bubble in her gut began to react to the thought of finally having something warm inside of her after quite a dry spell. It was exciting to be so close to someone in such an intimate frenzy after such a long time. And it made it even better that it was someone she-
A desperate sound left her throat, her thoughts being interrupted when she felt his warm palm disappear from her heat and instead only being left to grind against the rough fabric of her underwear that was cool and wet. 
The discomfort quickly evaporated when she felt damp fingers kiss her skin before going to tug her pants and underwear down. She was keen to help pull them down also, too eager to feel his skin unclothed and warm against her own.
Once she was rid of those pesky underclothes, it was her turn to flip over to him, a wicked smile was hidden in the dark as her fingers brushed over his cock. Squeezing it and being met with a soft groan as she stroked him underneath the soft cotton of his sweatpants. 
“Mmm, keep that up and I won’t make it [Y/n].”
That wouldn’t do, even if she was nearly salivating at him and thought about having a little taste. But that would have to wait till next time. Well, hopefully, there was a next time because as she pulled the drawstrings on his sweatpants loose and helped him out of his own clothes, she couldn’t help but moan when her fingers finally found themselves sprawled against his warm, thick, and very wet cock.
At that moment she knew this could not be a one time thing as she would absolutely die a brokenhearted woman if she didn’t get to have another go (or more) at him. She didn’t have time to think about that though because she was suddenly being turned back onto her side facing away from him as she felt him nestle his length against her back.
Grabbing her leg that was on top of the other, Sinclair pulled it just over his thigh moving his hips just so that she could feel the tip of him pressing against her entrance as she spread her open. 
She was physically quivering at that point as she felt his lips press against her neck before he was nuzzling into her skin. Unhurriedly he dragged his cock against her slit coating it with the abundance of wetness that he had helped create causing her body to jolt at the delicious sensation. It was taking everything in her not to just push back on him and sink herself onto him. 
So when he suddenly froze right before he was about to enter her and let an annoyed groan slip from his lips she began whining, squirming against wondering why he had stopped.
“Wait love I think we may have a problem,” he mumbled against her neck, holding her hip still and pulling away from her to keep her from thrusting back onto him.
“What,” she wailed, never having felt this needy before, impatient to have him stretch and fill her aching cunt that was throbbing and clenching beckoning for him to be inside of her. 
“Unless you’re eager to potentially be a mum soon,” he groused, not enjoying the thought of having to stop their little ‘warming session’, “we may need to stop as I don’t…have any condoms.”
“Are you clean?” 
“Pardon?” It wasn’t that he was shocked about the question, it was more that it had come so suddenly and urgently. 
“Sinclair please,” his name came out more desperate sounding than she had intended but she couldn’t help it as it was killing her to not push back on him. She wanted him in her so badly that she almost wanted to cry at how fuzzy she felt that he wasn’t filling her up. “Are you clean, no diseases?”
If he was shocked at the question he didn’t let on before a short,
“Yes, checked during the divorce and no one else till you.”
“Thank fuck I am too,” she sighed pushing her hips back against him as she felt his grip loosen on her eager to keep going. “ I’m still on the pill so if you trust me I’m fine without one.”
He didn’t waste a moment more when he heard her, grabbing her leg again and positioning the tip of him at her entrance.
“Well it’s good that I trust you,” he purred, causing her body to shudder at the rich dark tone he had taken with her. “Because we wouldn't be doing this would we?”
With one harsh thrust, he was splitting her open, for him. Exposing the lust and want that had been building up in her for him. At that very same moment, as he entered her, she felt as if there could be nothing better than being as she was now. 
“Oh my god!”
Her back arched violently against his chest, curving so perfectly as her hand flew back to grab onto his thigh for purchase as he began to furiously pound into her cunt that was sucking him in with each thrust. The sound of their panting and the slick sounds of skin hitting skin filled the empty air around them. 
There was nothing to distract them from the symphony their bodies were creating as they rutted against each other both trying to find that satisfying end that neither had thought they would be chasing that night.
Snaking his hand up from her thigh and underneath her shirt, Sinclair roughly squeezed at one of [Y/n] breasts, stroking and massaging the skin before his fingers roughly pinched and pulled at the pebbled nipple that was aching for a touch. Another jolt of pleasure rippled down her spine and into her quivering heat that he was plundering over and over and she could barely form any words other than,
“Don’t stop please!” “Faster!”
And he obliged, never once faltering in his pace as long gone were the thoughts he had about making her feel as if his past help came with attached strings to them. No. The only thought now as the muscles in his stomach clenched from the fervor of his actions, and his cock pulsated each time her body contracted around him was to get both of them to their end.
“[Y/n], you’re squeezing me so good, keep going,” he rasped hotly, leaning down to kiss her cheek again, causing her to whine at how sweet it felt opposite to the carnal way he was thrusting into her. “Let me get you to where you want, alright?” 
Each thrust had streams of moans and cries leaving both of them joining in the melody around them as he played with her body learning exactly where to stroke to have her keening for him. What had her clenching and grinding down for him and just where exactly to hit to have her calling out,
“Right there!” She sobbed out suddenly and desperately as the tip of his cock began to rub and push against the spot that had her legs shaking and her insides trembling. Her free hand flew down in between her legs to rub fast and harsh circles around her clit that was throbbing uncontrollably from the impending end. “Please don’t stop! Gonna come please, please please!” 
“Come, darling,” he panted out as he snapped his hips against hers only to pause to grind into that spot that made her shake and cry for him. “Go ahead, let me feel you.”
Never letting up from his relentless plundering of her, she pressed herself against him as much as she could, shaking as he assaulted her wetness that was dripping down her thighs and against her fingers while she stroked and pinched and pressed until.
“Sinclair!”
He couldn’t stop himself from leaning over and pressing his lips against hers when he felt her body go stiff and her cunt spasm bringing his own orgasm to a crest along with hers. Their moans were muffled by each other's lips as they spilled onto each other. Coating each other with their essences that mixed together forming a sticky concoction that was just for them. 
Neither wanted to let go of the other, as lips pressed against each other over and over. Softly, and sweetly opposite to the harsh and fast pace rutting that had possessed them just seconds ago. The only thing they could think about was how warm they felt with each other and so of course when they broke away [Y/n] couldn’t help but whine at him. She hated the feeling of losing his warmth and weight on her and in her and she was happy to protest it.
“Wait come back,” she moaned, turning to face him wanting to at least snuggle him a bit before having to venture back out into the cold. Because well, she wasn’t too keen on having him drip out of her no matter how warm it felt at the moment…and also her pants.
Humming in contentment when he felt her cuddle up into his side, he dropped his hand to rest on her lower back, before caressing her and smiling at the little purr she made. 
“You know, you’re going to have to go to the bathroom soon right?” He spoke, voicing what she had just been thinking. His voice was thick with sleepiness making it darker and deeper than it already was yet it was still filled with warmth and care for her as he peered down at her in the darkness. “I don’t want you complaining to me later about coming down with some disease.
She acknowledged him with a lazy ‘mhm’, not yet wanting to get up from her spot as she was warm and cozy now just like she had wanted to be. “I know but you did such a good job warming me up so I just had to share the ambiance.” 
A tiny smirk crossed his face as his eyes closed, tiredness beginning to catch up with him considering his startled awakening earlier and then the little session they had. It was also probably because he was so tired, he couldn’t stop himself from asking,
“Since I did such a good job, I’m assuming you’ll want a repeat whenever you get cold?”
“Maybe, but,” she paused, feeling her face heat up at his question and her nerves dancing at the answer she was going to give hoping he meant what she thought. “I wouldn’t mind it either if it was also just whenever?”
If she could see him in the dark, she would see the way his expression relaxed, his smirk turning into a soft smile as he leaned down to kiss her forehead causing her to sigh as a more delicate warmth enveloped her.
“I was hoping you would say something like that.”
A tiny smile grew on her face at his words as she let herself rest on his shoulders thinking about how being snowed in wasn’t so bad. As long as she was snowed in with her sunshine to keep her warm she was happy for the snowstorm to keep raging on for a little longer.
FYI - *Met Office is UK's national weather service (or that's what Google says at least)
A/N: Well they definitely got their happy ending 😏😏. Snowstorms are good for all sorts of warming activities don't you think? 🤭🤔 I hope the smut was okay as it was def rushed due to some unexpected woes that happened right before I wrote it🤣🤣 I may have also been up till 2am getting it done bc I goofed and forgot what day it was. Either way let me know if you liked it and thanks for stopping by 🥰🥰🥰

Got another request if you don't mind:) I just love your writing so much I've been reading it alot since I'm in quarantine for the next week so I need some more lol
This takes place in season 3 when Robin and Steve get drugged but...in stead of it being Steve it's the reader and Robin who get drugged. Steve and Eddie(I know he wasn't in there but I just love him and in my head he's making this super funny I feel like he would egg them on a ) have to deal with them acting a fool and they are just driving them crazy. The reader is saying off the wall things about Steve their sexlife and telling secrets Well after everything wears off and they get home the reader is feeling sick and just horrible so Steve takes care of her and is just so sweet and loving and they end up laughing about some of the things her and Robin said while drugged.
Oh no, I hope you get to feeling better soon!
But man that would be HILARIOUS 🤣

Steve Harrington x Reader
“What the hell is wrong with them?” Eddie huffed, looking towards the back of the golf cart like machine that Steve was currently carting them in, down the long stretch of the Russian underground lair.
You and Robin were cackling, arguing about which was better peanut butter and jelly with the crust or without it.
“But, but,” you sputtered, “Eating crust is like eating cardboard!”
You two broke into laughter again, being tossed every which way by Steve’s erratic driving.
“Can this boat slow down some?” Robin yelled, holding on, “I get sea sick!”
“We’re not on a boat, silly,” you slurred, trying to slap at her knee but missing it by a mile, “We’re on a plane, duh. Look at those clouds!”
You pointed to the blurry, white things passing in your vision.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with them,” Steve gritted out, managing the vehicle through an opening where they all could escape, “We just need to get them to the car.”
“Jesus, it’s like they took everything I carry in my stash at once.”
Robin was singing at the top of her lungs, badly and you were holding your sides laughing so hard.
“I’m peeing! I’m peeing!” you squealed, “Steve, Robin made me pee!”
“Come on,” Steve said, “We can get out here. You grab Robin, I’ll take Y/N.”
Eddie picked up Robin, carrying her as if he was walking her over the threshold.
“My hero!” Robin shouted.
“Come on, Y/N,” Steve groaned, trying to coax you out of the back.
Of course, now was when you thought it was appropriate in your drug riddled mind to play hard to get.
“Buy me dinner first pretty boy,” you giggled.
Steve sighed, picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder. He and Robin were still in their Scoops Ahoy outfits and even in your compromised state, you took a moment to appreciate his ass.
“Steeeeve,” you slurred, “Have I ever told you what a nice ass you have?”
“Many times,” he sighed, keeping his grip on you a little rougher than he should’ve, but in his defense, you were being a wiggle worm.
“Ow, babe,” you whined, “You’re never this rough in bed.”
Eddie coughed, trying to hold back his laugh. Robin, on the other hand, cackled.
“Is he vanilla?!” Robin called from Eddie’s arms.
You waved a dismissive hand in the air even though Robin couldn’t see it.
“Definitely not. He’s fucking skilled though, I tell you. The things he can do with his tongue alone!”
You’d reached the car now and Steve sat you down against the side of the car, one hand out to steady you as he unlocked the car. Eddie was full on busting a gut.
“Y/N, please be quiet,” Steve uttered, cheeks flaming.
“Please, don’t. I wanna hear,” Eddie chortled as he helped Robin in the backseat.
“He loves being ridden,” you lunge yourself to the front of the seats, peering at Eddie in the passengers seat, “And believe me when I say I ride him like a cowgirl.”
“Yee-haw!” Robin hollers, sending you both into a fit of giggles again.
“Not. A. Word,” Steve grumbled, throwing a glare in Eddie’s direction.
“But about his tongue-” you start in again.
“Y/N, I swear to God,” Steve groaned, peering at you through the rearview mirror, as he pulled out of the mall parking lot.
“Aw, is my baby sad? Don’t worry, a blow job will fix that.”
“Do you want to trade places?” Eddie asked, lips twitching from suppressed laughter.
“Don’t give her any ideas,” Steve huffed.
“He moans like a little bitch though. Have I mentioned he’s got a monster dick? Like how the hell do I fit that in my mouth let alone my-”
“Okay! Music it is!” Eddie exclaimed, turning on the radio, glancing at Steve, “Sorry dude, but that was becoming too X-rated even for my ears.”
“Oh she’s not living this down, that’s for sure,” Steve mumbled.
You and Robin were now singing loudly to whatever was on the radio—in fact, you don’t even think you’re singing the same song that’s on the radio, but hey, who cares?
“Okay, now they’re getting annoying,” Eddie lamented.
Steve agreed.
“I think it’s way past time to get them home.”
Robin had went home with Eddie. He’d insisted on staying with her since they still had no idea what you and Robin had been drugged with.
You were glad to know he was sticking with her because if she was on a similar path as you, her head was probably in the toilet right now as well.
You sat back on your knees, flushing the toilet and groaning. Your head was pounding, the white tile of the bathroom floor was too bright and even the cool porcelain of the tub on your back didn’t cool your hot and sweaty skin.
“Think you can keep down a few crackers so you can take some medicine?” Steve asked, walking in.
You groaned, just the act of chewing seeming like too much effort.
“Can I just take the meds?”
He handed you a glass of water and two pills which you gratefully swallowed. He grabbed a washcloth, soaked it under the faucet and set beside you on the floor, dabbing at your face.
“Is everyone okay?” you managed to ask, your head falling onto his shoulder.
“Yeah. Everyone made it out okay. But I think you scarred Eddie for life.”
“What do you mean?” you mumbled, eyes closing.
“Well let’s just say you did a nice oral presentation about our sex life and would’ve offered me a blow job if you hadn’t already been in the back seat.”
Your eyes popped open and you sat up way too fast. You winced, waiting for the room to stop spinning.
“Please tell me you’re joking,” you moaned.
“I wish I was,” he chuckled, “Eddie now knows you liked to ride me like a cowgirl and give me blow jobs. Oh and that I have a talented tongue.”
You groaned again, covering your face with your hands while Steve just laughed harder.
“You know it’s a lot funnier now when you think about it.”
“No it’s not!” you whined, dropping your hands and looking at him exasperatingly.
“Oh I can’t forget my favorite direct quote of yours,” he smirked.
“I’m afraid to ask.”
“And I quote: “He moans like a little bitch. Did I mention he has a monster dick? How the hell do I fit that in my mouth, let alone my-””
“STOP!” you cried, ready for the bathroom floor to swallow you whole.
“Ironic, that’s where Eddie managed to interrupt you too before you got any more graphic,” Steve snickered.
“Oh god, I’m sorry Steve,” you groaned, it soon turning into a chuckle as his laughter became more and more contagious.
“No problem, babe. If anything, you have quite the stellar review. Good for a man’s ego,” he teased.
“Please tell me that’s all the crazy shit I said.”
“Oh there’s more.”
“Really?” you squawked.
“Well not about our sex life, but you and Robin were debating which was better, a peanut butter and jelly with or without the crust.”
“Okay, that’s a solid argument,” you laughed.
“Just in case you’re aware, you’re never living this down,” Steve laughed.
You whined, pouting.
“I already feel bad enough. Do you really have to kick me when I’m down?”
“You’re just lucky I love you,” he smiled, kissing your forehead.
“Good because I love you, too.”

i'm low on gas and you need a jacket
steve-o x fem!reader, set in 2003 idk how to categorise or summarise this tbh lol. loosely inspired by the lyrics of i'm low on gas and you need a jacket by ptv warnings: drugs/alcohol mentioned, swearing, suggestive content, barely proofread (i'm lazy) notes: i wrote this in first person, present tense and i don't know if i like it. i also have zero confidence in my writing lol.
My apartment is dark, save for the light of the TV. I’ve flicked through every channel a few times tonight but haven’t found anything appealing. I turned the volume all the way down and let the images play out silently. It’s never really silent in this apartment, though. Living in LA means a constant symphony of sirens and shouts, often accompanied by partying neighbours. 
Sighing, I peel myself off the couch and wander over to the cabinet that houses my hi-fi system and CD collection. ‘Warning’ by Green Day catches my eye, so I pull it from its spot on the shelf, open the case and place the disc into the player. After pressing play and turning up the volume, I shuffle over to the tiny kitchen and wash one of the dirty glasses laying in the sink. I grab a can of Red Bull from the nearly empty refrigerator and the half-empty bottle of Jägermeister from on top of the fridge, setting them on the countertop next to the newly clean glass. I fish some ice cubes out of the tray in the freezer and they clink as I drop them into the glass. I crack open the can of Red Bull and empty most of its contents into the glass, leaving space for a shot (or two) of the Jäger. 
God, it would be nice to have a balcony to sit on while I drink. Too bad, I have to settle for the couch. The sweetness of the Red Bull masks the bitterness of the Jäger, making it far too easy to drink. Drinking alone on a Friday night. How depressing. I focus on the music, feeling the vibrations and mumbling along with the lyrics. The time passes quickly, slipping away. Before too long, the CD stops spinning and I’m left in relative silence with my empty glass. The one drink was enough to get me feeling buzzed from the mixture of caffeine and alcohol. With nothing to do, I figure I might as well get some sleep.
My pyjamas are in a pile at the edge of my bed. I slip out of my jeans and t-shirt and replace them with the tank top and boxer shorts that I always sleep in. Right as I’m about to turn off my bedroom light and hop into bed, I hear knocking on my front door. Who the hell is knocking at this time? The cops? Why would the cops be here? The knocking continues, getting louder and more obnoxious. Christ. I trudge back out to the living room and peer through the peephole to see who’s there.
Steve-O.
My heart leaps up into my throat and my stomach drops. I haven’t seen Steve in months. What is he doing here? I’m surprised he was even able to remember my address.  “Dude! I know you’re in there, let me in!” He shouts. I fumble to get the door unlocked and open it. He stands there in the dingy hallway with a shit-eating grin plastered across his face. Unsurprisingly, he reeks of beer and weed. 
“Steve, what the hell are you doing here?” “It’s a long story dude, can I come in?” I barely have a chance to nod before he stumbles across the threshold and throws his arms around my shoulders, nearly knocking me over. I drag him over to the couch and let him flop down onto it. 
“So, what are you doing here?” “Me and the guys were all staying in Palm Springs, partying, y’know. We kind of wrecked the hotel room I was staying in so they kicked us out. Palm Springs sucks anyway so I got someone to drive me to LA.” “You got someone to drive you two hours in the middle of the night?” “Yeah, dude. They were heading this way anyway.” I scoff in disbelief. “Okay so that’s why you’re in LA. But why did you decide to show up on my doorstep at 2am?” “Thought you’d be stoked to see me, babe.” Babe? My cheeks flush with a mixture of embarrassment and frustration. I pray it’s too dark and he’s too wasted to notice. 
I sit on the couch next to him with a beleaguered sigh.  “What, so you just came to hang out?” I pressed. “Jesus, what’s with all the questions, lady?” I shoot him a glare, prompting him to answer, “yeah, sure, I came to hang out or whatever.” “Steve, I was about to go to bed before you showed up.” “Alright then, let’s go to bed,” he chuckled, practically jumping up off the couch. Before I can even say anything, he’s off down the narrow hall towards my bedroom. I get up and chase after him.
When I reach my room, he’s already laying on the bed doing a goofy “seductive” pose. “Seriously, Steve? You actually think I’m going to let you sleep in my bed?” “Sure, it’s not like we haven’t slept together before,” he said with a cheeky grin. “We did not sleep together. We hooked up. One time. Months ago.”  I stand in the doorway, practically glaring at him, waiting for a response. He was uncharacteristically quiet. After a moment, he speaks. “Come on babe, sit over here with me. Please?” He hauls himself up to a seated position, back resting against the headboard.  I roll my eyes and sigh in exasperation before dragging myself over to the bed and sitting on the edge of it. We sit in uncomfortable silence. I’m exhausted, the buzz from the Jäger Bomb has worn off, and I have no clue what to say to him.
We had met for the first time at some spring break party. He was on the patio showing off some acrobatic tricks and I was sitting on the edge of the pool dangling my legs in the water, sipping my drink. I noticed him after he backflipped into the pool, splashing me as he hit the water.  “Sorry dude!” He laughed as I looked down at my soaked dress. He swam closer and introduced himself.  We got to chatting and after a couple of hours and several more drinks I took my chance. After all, he was pretty cute and happened to be famous. So, I’d leaned in close and whispered in his ear, “wanna go back to my place?” In response, he shouted to no one in particular, “I’m going to this chick’s house!” He put his arm around my shoulder and we left the party together. We stumbled to my apartment (it was only a couple of blocks from the party), giggling like idiots as I unlocked the front door. As soon as it was shut behind us, he pulled me to him, one hand on my waist and the other on the back of my neck. We kissed as I led us to the couch.  After hooking up, he fell asleep on the couch and I scribbled my phone number on a scrap of paper. I left it on the coffee table and slinked off to my bedroom.  When I woke up the next morning, groggy from the hangover, he was gone and so was the scrap of paper with my number on it. I had figured that was probably the end of my acquaintance with Steve-O. A drunken one-night-stand.
The next weekend I was stocking my fridge with Miller Lite in preparation for a little get-together I was hosting when my cellphone chimed. The text message read, “party 2nite?” From a number I didn’t recognise.  “Who’s asking?” I sent back. “steve-o” My breath caught in my throat as I stared at the screen in disbelief. I called the number and he picked up after a couple of rings. “Hey dude! What’s up?” I heard him through the speaker. “I’m having a little get-together with some friends at my place later, if you’re looking for a party.” “Yeah dude!” He cheered.
He brought a rabble of friends and acquaintances to my tiny apartment that night and they practically destroyed the place. The party died down after several hours and a lot of knocking from pissed off neighbours, and I watched him leave with one of my friends. Once again, I figured I would never see him again. However, the next morning I woke to the sound of my cellphone ringing. It was Steve-O. “Dude, sick party last night!” “Yeah,” I said coldly. “You and your buddies wrecked my house and I got my first noise complaint.” Anger burned my throat as I held myself back from screaming into the phone. “That’s how you know it was a-“ I heard him say before I hung up on him.
Months passed without a phone call or a text message. I had done my best to forget about Steve-O. 
I feel the bed move as he shifts around, hating the silence. He clears his throat and says, “so… uh…” I turn to look at him with a raised eyebrow. He looks down to avoid my gaze.  “I’m sorry.” I’m taken aback. I was hoping for an apology but I didn’t expect to receive one. “It was totally shitty of me to wreck your place, I should have come back to clean up. I should have apologised. I’ve been thinking about it ever since. I wanted to call you so many times but I couldn’t do it. I fucked up.” I’m completely stunned by his sincerity. I can’t comprehend the fact that he’s actually owning up to his shit. He looks sheepish, like he’s expecting me to rip into him.  “Oh. Yeah, well… um… thanks for apologising, Steve.” I reach over and place my hand on his knee reassuringly. He releases the breath he was holding, relieved. Gently, he places his hand over mine and squeezes it softly.  I move to sit closer to him, leaning back against the headboard. “If you need a place to sleep tonight, I won’t kick you out. As long as you promise not to break anything,” I say quietly, resting the side of my head on his shoulder. He chuckles lightly. “I promise. Thanks, dude.” He places a kiss on the top of my head. “Don’t push your luck, Steve.” I say, giving him a playful shove. 
We fall asleep in silence, save for our breathing and the consistent hum of city noise.

Hiiiiiii! :) I'm going through a Red Velvet phase at the moment and I'm seriously in love with all of them. Mostly Irene and Seulgi. There's just something about cold and distant women that does something to me 🥴💦. Especially when they're older.
Can I please request a gip!Irene x innocent!reader scenario? 🥺 Irene is cold, distant and mean towards the reader even though the reader just tries to get her attention. Eventually Irene says something hurtful and the reader tries to move on to gip!Seulgi. Irene eventually gets so possessive over the reader when she hears Seulgi talk about her (the reader) to her friends and its insinuated that they slept together. With jealous smut, pleaseeee? 🥺
Btw, I'm notified whenever you post something and I like your posts almost instantly, so I think if you looked hard enough you'd probably know who I am 🤣🙈. I hope you don't get burnout from all these requests though. It would be devastating if you stopped posting, you're literally one of the few blogs that does gip scenarios for female idols 😔.
Thank u so much bestie <3!!!! I'm not getting burnout, thank god the requests are so good that it's kinda impossible to get burnout lol. Also I legit smile whenever i see the anon asked thing it's like the best thing ever :)
And it's was kinda hard finding a lot of female reader fics and I've found more now but i wanted to add my own so others can enjoy !! Also, I can't remember the author (I'll post it if i can find it) but someone wrote a jennie / chaeyoung x fem reader fic where Chae kept rejecting the reader who eventually got with Jennie and it's genuinely the best thing I've ever read!
Tumblr media
You had been infatuated with Irene the moment you saw her, being introduced through Seulgi and immediately trying to get on her good side. She was a sweetheart, she just wasn't very open about it you learned later, she was shy and introverted.
You hadn't felt this way about anyone ever, she was just so perfect that it hurt. But no matter what you did, you had tried everything. Genuine compliments constantly to her face, about how pretty she was, or how nice her laugh is, or how she always makes you laugh...nothing from her.
You opted to show your love with gifts, bringing her flowers, and chocolates, paying for her meals whenever the two of you were out...nothing.
You were sure that this gift would win her over, you had found out from Sooyoung that she was talking about how pretty the flowers were at this little cafe in a flower shop they had been to the previous day so you sped down there, and paid the very hefty price.
You let yourself into their dorm, Seungwan and Yeri giving you soft smiles as they knew what was coming, Sooyoung remaining quiet as she watched Seulgi watch you. Sooyoung always sensed Seulgi's feelings for you, her smile was different when you were around, she was more herself.
Seulgi leant against the kitchen island as she watched you approach Irene's room at the bottom of the corridor, you nervously shuffled as you knocked on her door. You really wanted this to be it, you liked her so so much and you really couldn't take another rejection.
Irene opened the door, she was in the sweatpants you bought her months ago, my god they left you broke for a month, so your smile got wider seeing she actually liked your gifts.
"Yes? what is it I'm busy right now," her tone was cold but you tried to convince yourself that that's just how she spoke, she didn't mean for her words to come out as cold.
"Hi! Jo-Joohyun! I got these for you!" you beamed, holding the bouquet out to her as she peered down at them, taking in the beautiful display and recognising them from yesterday.
"Right...thanks y/n," she took them hesitantly and set them down on the table just out of your sight beside her door. She looked back to you, her expression quizzical as you stood there.
"That it?" she shook her head as she spoke, you could feel that bubble in your throat start to rise and bite back a breath.
"Actually, I-I was wondering if you would maybe l-like to go out tonight? l-like a date?" you tried to sound confident but it came out like a plead.
"No, y/n," she hushed out, she looked so annoyed as she raised a hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, "Just- just leave me alone okay? I really don't like you, you're fucking weird, okay?" she closed the door in your face and you, fortunately, didn't hear the gasps coming from her bandmates.
They tried to make themselves look busy, going on their phones, straight up leaving the room or staring at the wall as you walked back into the living room and out the door.
Seulgi didn't know what to do, she kept looking between Irene's door and the front door you just closed. She was so angry, she wanted to yell, scream, hit, anything. She wanted you to herself, but she hated the way Irene treated you. You were so much more than what Irene thought of you. You needed to be treated right and she was going to be the one to do it.
a month later
Irene tried her best to avoid you, she regretted what she said, she really did. But she would rather be caught dead than admit she was wrong. She was just stressed, she had so much going on and was overwhelmed you just unfortunately pushed her over the edge.
Her whole avoiding plan was going well, You hadn't been to the dorm since, the girls being especially quiet when Irene would join them to eat or watch a movie. They wanted to scream at her for breaking your heart but she was their leader.
What Irene didn't mean to do was eavesdrop on the girls' conversations, she wanted to know why they were so distant lately, so she left her bedroom, closing the door silently and sneaking to the end of the corridor and loitering there as she listened in on the girls.
She could sort of gather what they were talking about, you, they were talking about you. Well, more speciality Seulgi was and the girls were chiming in every now and again.
"When was this?!?" Yeri gasped, Irene could tell that something big had been dropped and from Yeri's surprised tone, she wanted to know if you were okay.
"two days ago, why?" Seulgi answered back, her voice was louder to Irene so she must have been just around the corner. She could hear the shuffling on the couch and now Yeri's voice was louder, she must've gotten closer to listen to Seulgi.
"Was it good?" Yeri teased and Irene's tried her best to not assume things, you surely didn't hook up with Seulgi. You were in love with her, for years and there was no way you would've moved on so quickly, right?
"I mean..." Seulgi's voice trailed off, the girls giggling and egging her on to continue the story, a roar of 'go on's.
"Okay! fine, yes she was very good." Seulgi laughed out, there was some shuffling and Irene took a step back in order to not be caught listening in.
"I'm gonna hit her up again, you have no idea how tight she was oh my godd," the girls erupted into giggles and begged for more details as Seulgi shushed them.
Irene could feel her entire body heat up, you just moved on? just like that, huh? she was going to show you that you don't just move on from Irene. She liked you but she knew how hard it was to date idols, you would just be heartbroken and so would she. She snuck back into her room, got her car keys and stormed out of her room and past the girls who immediately went silent, Irene slamming the front door behind her.
She doesn't know what she was thinking, she stood outside your front door and knocked, she didn't really think this through, you were probably going to slam the door in her face as soon as you saw her, she was about to walk away when you opened the door.
It was late, she forgot that so judging from your state, she probably just woke you up. You stood in a tiny tank top and as her eyes trailed down your body she saw you were wearing boxers and she knew from doing the group's laundry that they were Seulgi's.
"I-Irene? what are you-" she cut you off as she came forward and crashed her lips against yours, kicking the door closed behind her and pushing you down against your couch.
You didn't kiss back, you were so confused and this was just so overwhelming, but she didn't give you time to think it through, grabbing at your shirt and pulling it up to bunch up at the top of your chest. Groping your tit with her right hand as her left one started to peel off those fucking boxers.
You started to kiss back, this was everything you had dreamt of but why now? what happened to make her want you too? you really didn't care about what the reason was right now.
You groaned whenever she let her fingers glide through your folds, teasing your entrance with her fingertips, dipping in and pulling out over and over again until she plunged them in, mumbling into your neck about how tight you were.
You didn't have time to enjoy the feeling of her long fingers inside you before she pulled down her sweatpants along with her boxers and lined herself up.
Pushing her tip in and groaning, biting down on your neck as your brought your legs up to lock her in place, arms splayed on her back as you dug your nails in. It felt like she was never going to end, inch by inch and it just kept going. But when she did fully push in you had never felt so full. She began to thrust, using her hands to slam your hips to meet her own thrusts.
Mouthing at your neck, she saw the marks Seulgi had left and she was going to cover you in her own. She was going to show Seulgi you were hers. You belonged to her and only her.
The couch under you beginning to scratch the floorboards with each thrust, your downstairs neighbours were gonna be so mad. She pounded into you, her precum begging to spill into you and leak out onto the couch cushions. You could barely get a moan out, resulting in gasps and half moans as you felt your high coming.
She sensed it too and started to pick up her pace, groaning as you clenched down on her cock, releasing and leaking down your thighs. Her orgasm followed yours as she emptied into you, thank god for birth control.
She didn't pull out, letting herself relax on top of you and leaving one last bruising kiss on your lips as you both caught your breath.
"I'm sorry for being a dick," she mumbled against your neck, "I didn't mean it, I was- I was scared of losing you in the end." she hesitated. You let your hand meet her hair, stroking and playing her her hair as you thought of an answer.
"I want to go out, with you, tomorrow," she interrupted your thoughts, relaxing further into your touch.
"You better give me the best first date ever," you chuckled out but she sensed the seriousness in your tone and her mind was racing with all the ways she was going to spoil you

Jia doodles!!!
Doodles of my noblesse oc from my Millennium AU, Jia Ru! She is the second child of Kei Ru and Claudia Tradio, and the younger sister of Luzia Tradio.
Jia’s hobby is sparring and she likes to train for strength just as much as her father Kei does. She loves her musclehead Ba very very much, and inherits his incredibly burly build. Smashes bedrock like styrofoam.
1. Jia painting!!! She has messy white hair just like Kei. She leaves her bangs as is and keeps the rest in two braids on either sides of her head. Her hair accessories were gifts from her mother Claudia; she cherishes them very much and wears them everyday. Though Jia is so powerful if she turns her head just a little too quickly her braids might slap someone unconscious. Free nap time. Oopsie, sorry hehe. You shouldn’t stare at her for too long not because she minds; she actually doesn’t. Instead to her prolonged eye contact means an invitation to spar so if you’re not ready for an unforgiving workout session, mayybe move on lol.
2. Jia side profile! She loves to spend time in the Ru territory’s bamboo forest. The breeze is nice and cool, and she loves her heritage.
3. The moment lil’ Jia gets her hair accessories from her mother Claudia! Jia’s hair is naturally messy and Kei doesn’t really know how to style hair either, so her hair just flies everywhere. Jia is curious about her mother’s hairstyle, and mommy Claudia gets an idea. She had always wanted to give her second daughter a gift but she never knew what to give, until now! Jia is super happy. Her parents are amused. Claudia promptly teaches Kei how to style their bab’s hair.
4. Kei is stoic and dense. Very very dense. He doesn’t really express love in the conventional way, maybe just one or two nicknames in private, but that’s it. No matter what, Jia knows he loves her, and Kei knows she loves him. He gets super flustered and confused as to what to do when his daughter pulls him into a massive hug. He rarely hugs back and in return just “praises” her but she knows what it really means. Cmon just say those three words Kei. They share a close relationship throughout their entire lives.
5. Jia likes Alois hoooooooo. Alois is the firstborn of the entire nextgen cast and being the shy and reserved boy he was, he spent a lot of time with the Clan Leaders before his peers were born. Specifically, he liked hanging out with Kei because Kei doesn’t talk much and he’s a good person. Alois feels relaxed around him and visits the Ru manor often. He especially enjoys the company of the Ru tigers, and routinely visits and takes care of them even after becoming an adult. Jia is curious about this random dude and accompanies him in her home. Gradually she begins to realize how caring, delicate and beautiful he is and falls for him. She’s usually loud and blunt but around him, she’s super shy. Girl is totally in love. Probably even already imagining their beautiful red and silver haired kids together (lol). Holddd up girl. Right now she doesn’t know that Luzia also likes him, and that he likes Luzia. She will find out one day and it’s gonna be quite chaotic. But at the moment muscle girl is happy with just hanging with him. Though she can’t seem to hear anything but her own heartbeats. Dammit, who’s rolling the drums at this hour.
6. Jia is kinda… dense. In a dumb way. People go “huh?” when they learn that she and Raegyn Kertia, son of Rael Kertia and Regis K. Landegre, are actually good friends. Because Raegyn doesn’t hang out with nobodies. He’s a picky extrovert, because he’s a smartass and being super smart means he finds most company to be dull and boring, and manipulating people with his charm is always easy. So in order for him to genuinely enjoy hanging out with someone, they have to be completely immune to his manipulation either by being super smart/just as smart as him, or…. by being SO dumb his smartassing just doesn’t work. Jia is… clearly not the first type. But their unusual friendship just so happened and they always have a lot to talk about. Jia is always so flattered because Raegyn “compliments” her so often. Ehh maybe try to analyze it just a bit more? Maybe asking too much from her one active brain cell tho. Lol.

[ vending machine redux ]
ft. @051688 / this just came out of me randomly this morning (you’ll be able to tell lol)
The train pulls away but she’s not on it when it does. Not anymore. The clawing in her belly, the anxious strum of heat in her chest— it compels her to get off at the last minute in the hopes that when she races back, he’ll still be there. She doesn’t know that for sure. But at least she can say she tried, can’t she? Jaw clenched, she’s nearly out of breath, but she’s made it back outside and the entrance is empty but for stragglers now. She sighs. Her belly cramps. But then she sees him. His back has grown smaller as he returns back the way they came, and she has just enough juice left in her to catch up to him and punch his shoulder from behind.
“Oi!” The shock is blatant on his face but so is what she thinks might be relief behind his eyes. But perhaps she’s just projecting. Whatever the case, she’s catching her breath now and uselessly points at him in childish frustration. “Why didn’t you stop me? I wanted you to stop me.”
She knows things are a lot more complicated than that. For all her youth, she’s not stupid, just twenty two. She knows what the ring on his finger means, but a part of her can’t help but wonder about the pull between them either. He looks torn. He’s looked that way for most of the night but it only truly hit her as she settled into an empty seat on the train what it meant. Because she saw the same expression reflected on her own face as she peered out the window.
“…drinks at mine?” The nerves have returned as she swallows and deflates. It hits her that maybe she’s messed up. She’s just missed her last train. Because of a man. Granted, not just any man— a married man. She can hear her friends’ admonishment already in her ears.
Time slows as he stares. She knows he’s thinking, it’d be weird if he weren’t, she thinks she’d reconsider everything if he didn’t take pause. But then he nods and he’s hailing down a taxi as nerves are replaced with relief then the hyper awareness that she’s getting into a taxi with a stranger and giving her address. Well, not a real stranger. There was an ease. A familiarity in the space of the night as they talked at the bar, and she tried her hardest not to stare at his hand because then she’d see the ring again and her conscience would tell her to stop.
The ride is awkward. Just a little bit. Maybe because their knees brush together or maybe because the passing streetlights dance across his face and she can tell they’re both stealing glances when they think the other’s not looking. At a red light though, they catch each other’s eyes and she laughs. She can’t help it. She feels a little silly but it’s freeing in a way because he laughs too and finally some of the tension dissipates.
Finally at her apartment, he paid the fare which made her huff and he called it cute, she warns him as she unlocks her door. “I hope you like dogs. She’s harmless. But big.” There’s a good chance the doberman is asleep at this time of night, but she can never be too sure. She offers him slippers and is happy to see she hadn’t left her apartment in too big of a mess before hurrying out this morning.
She knows he’s taking everything in as she wanders off to the kitchen for glasses and whatever liquor she has left. “Nice place you got.” She grins to herself, he’s being nice. It’s fine. It does the job for a girl living on her own in Tokyo. The only saving grace is all the personalization, pictures strewn across the wall and countertops, vinyls and books littered together, figures propped in a corner that her dog can’t get to— it’s home.
She pours them some whiskey, a gift from her manager, and gestures for him to sit on the couch. The lamp partially lights up the room, but the bulb’s dying. Sat beside him again, she tries to pretend it’s like the bar, but that’s difficult with no one else around and the very little space left between them glaringly obvious to her thigh.
But they return to talking, hushed, the ease eventually creeps back in and before she knows it, she’s turned to face him, legs crossed on her couch, nursing a half drunk glass, cheeks hurting from how hard she grins.
“Just admit it. You’re old and out of touch. It happens to the best of us— not me though.” She teases, a little too proud, enabled by the amusement in his look but something else flashes there. She can’t make it out fast enough because suddenly he’s much closer than before, faces so close she can feel his breath on her nose and count his lashes if she tried.
That look’s returned. That torn expression she’s come to recognize. She wonders if she looks up at him the very same. She wonders if he can hear the high speed fluttering of her heart, it races so fast, she thinks it might careen out of her chest. There’s a part of her that wants to close the gap entirely. But another part that knows by getting off the train and stopping him, she’s done her part. All she can do now is wait. Sit and stare in the dark.
“This feels like a dream. What if I kiss you, only to wake up?“ Her eyes squeeze shut. What he describes sounds like a nightmare. When she wakes up, she wants to wake up knowing this was all real. Maybe he senses that trepidation. Or maybe she’s just full of it. But one second he’s married and the next he presses something small and hard in her hands. Before she can ask what, he meets her halfway and kisses her.
It’s just like his books. She feels like Annora that first time her lips graze Gerold’s and she shakes because this isn’t what real life is supposed to be like and maybe he’s right maybe it is a dream which means she better hold on tight or else she’ll forget this ever happened.
They kiss and they kiss until one of them has to catch their breath and then they kiss again; a big hand around her neck, long fingers clenched in his hair. What feels like hours pass just like that and they somehow have the wherewithal to keep every other part of their bodies to themselves. Probably because they know if they dare risk any more, any lower, that there’s no coming back from what they’ve just done.
She feels sixteen again, kissing in cars until it’s time for them to head home. But she’s already home. And his wedding ring is fisted so hard in her left hand, she almost wishes it would disintegrate. But she’s not nearly strong enough. And that’s probably for the best because they finally have it in them to stop, their breaths are shallow and hard and fill the silence of her apartment as she wordlessly puts it back on his finger.
No harm, no foul right?
Her lips hurt, she can tell they’re swollen, but it’s the good kind of ache. The kind she’ll dredge up to the forefront of her mind when she feels like remembering the electricity struck between their mouths and the electric wire that was his tongue tasting her own.
“Stay the night.” Her voice is smaller than she likes, she sounded a lot more confident in her head, but her vocal cords apparently hadn’t gotten the message. A calloused thumb runs over the jut of her lower lip, it’s like a silent apology but she hopes he doesn’t apologize because she’s not sorry.
“I can’t be trusted.” He says simply.
“I trust you.” Dark eyes follow her mouth when she speaks and soon they’re back on her own, they glitter sharply under the dimmed light of her lamp. She sucks in a shaky breath. Fingers cradle her chin and it hits her that she doesn’t have it in her to stop him if he kisses her again. Even if it means he’s wearing his ring this time.
Her eyes flutter shut but the tension is suddenly broken by a familiar bark and the click of paws on the floor. She laughs to herself. He stiffens, caught off guard. But her dog is as friendly as they come and she’s curious and immediately takes to him, and he to her, she’s always been a Casanova. She could learn a thing or two from the easily excitable animal.
The rest of the night involves him cradling her dog between them and her feigning disbelief that she’d steal his attention like that. It was probably for the best. Who knows what they may have gotten up to otherwise. He does end up staying the night, but he sleeps out on the couch, and she stares at her open doorway hoping he’ll appear. But he never does. And she knows that’s for the best too.
Morning comes and he’s gone, but he’s left her a well made breakfast waiting for her on the table and the book she’d been reading last night signed with a note tucked between the pages that read: ‘So it wasn’t a dream. I’d almost hoped it was. Maybe it’s better this way, because I don’t deserve you yet. But on the off chance I do someday and you find yourself in the Big Apple, call me.’ A number that isn’t from Japan is tacked on at the end and she’s mindlessly typing it into her phone over and over again while she nibbles on the pancakes he made.
She has to make it to New York. She can’t afford not to.

uhm uhm tying ribbons in ochako’s hair..
Tumblr media
✬ tags ; gn!reader, established relationship, pure fluff, ur doing her hair lol.
✬ a/n ; i got so soft typing this i nearly passed away.
Tumblr media
You like helping her with stuff like this.
It's a little clumsy, admittedly. You think your girlfriend looks good no matter what she puts on, but you like seeing her get all dressed up too. She spends time on her more cutesy outfits, hours of Pinterest perusing to find some outfit or hair inspo.
When she's not dressed formally for galas, she's either in some athleisure or something she's stolen from your closet. She does however, take date nights very seriously. Takes her time with it, the whole routine from start to bottom until she feels like she looks nice to enough to go out.
Today it's something frilly. Bright pink with all sorts of lace and a dress that hits her knees. She looks like if a pink peach became a person but it suits her. The last thing she needs is her hair being done and after spending the last 15 minutes struggling, she's called for your assistance with a frown.
So, you're sitting together, watching a video of some intricate hairstyling, determined to make her vision come true.
"Your hair smells different," You mumble, picking up silky strands between your fingers gently. She almost turns her head but you watch as she stops herself as not to disturb you.
"I used a different shampoo and conditioner this time. Mina said it'd be good for my hair,"
"Smells good," You hum. She giggles.
"Right? I thought so too. It's expensive though,"
"Baby." You reply, stern. She whines.
"I can't help it. But it's good so I'll keep buying it, promise."
"Uh-huh. You better,"
You look to your left, a phone on the floor with a video playing on loop. You peer at it to see what else she's doing, matching the movements as best you can. You're on ottoman at the foot of your bed, in front of the long mirror on the other side of the wall as you braid it. Ochako is watching you idly as you do. There's a brush and comb next to you, some heat protectant and hair spray. A single strand of ribbon too.
You're gentle as you spray and brush the hair, curling it just slightly before mussing it up to make it look less curled. Each strand goes by mostly without a hitch, with pauses between to make sure your gf approves.
"Am I doing okay?"
She nods.
"Mhm. It looks nice. Much better than when I was doing it,"
"It looked good to me then too." You say inbetween. She rolls her eyes.
"I could put a paper bag over my head and you'd say that. You're so unreliable,"
"Not true," You exclaim in faux offense "If you did that I couldn't see your pretty face so it's disqualified,"
She tilts her head back to smile up at you, hair falling back and brushing your thighs.
"Dummy,"
You grin down at her, hand cupping her neck as you brush your thumb over her jaw. You bend down to kiss her upside down like this.
"It's not my fault you're so beautiful,"
"We're gonna be late if you keep this up, and I want to show my outfit off,"
"How harsh, my love."
She giggles, unable to stop herself from it. The rest of the curling goes in near silence, save for her humming some song that she's had stuck in her head all weak. When the bottom is curl, you spray a little. Then you grip two pieces from the top to tie into a ponytail.
This part is intimate. You feel your fingers brush the crown of her head as you pull the pieces back to tie them up into a pretty pony-tail. So it's half up and half down. You take a hairband first, then the ribbon after to secure around it and cover it up.
"Tah-dah," You say, letting go of her hair "You want me to take a picture so you can see?"
"Yes, please."
So you do, picking up your phone and shuffling to your camera roll. Ochako sits still and pretty for you, a soft shutter sound as you press the button. Once it's done, you show it to her. Listening to her gasp makes you smile.
"It looks so good!!" She says excited. You smile.
"Glad I did a good job."
She stands to her feet and throws herself onto your lap, her legs on either side of you and her arms around your neck. She kisses you fervently, a gesture you recieve with nothing but love as you squeeze your hand around her thigh.
She nudges her noses against yours when she pulls back.
"Thank you for helping,"
"Anything for you. Wanna take a picture with you in my lap like this for keepsake."
"Mmkay." She says, affection bleeding in her words. You can tell how happy she is and that makes you more happy than you can explain. You find your phone again, resting your chin on her shoulder as you take a picture of yourself in the mirror - free hand on her waist.
You'll post it later, you think. For now, you wanna keep it to yourself a little longer.
"Ready to go to dinner, baby?"
"Ready,"

BG3 fic writing 2023 summary meme!
stolen from @sybaritick (oooohhh you wanna read cal's fics so bad ooohhh)
What are your A03 stats? How many words written, how many hits, kudos, and comments?
Tumblr media
Did you have a favourite canon character to write? i have only written gale and astarion, so out of the two probably astarion! i'm still trying to 'find their voice' but i'm more of a fan of writing his internal thoughts and dialogue. gale is too verbose for me LOL
Did you have a favourite OC to write? i did not write any OC stuff LMAO
Which fic was your most popular? Kneading, my first fic. it was posted at the end of september, when there wasn't many BW fics yet!
Which fic was your personal favourite? probably Wizard's Tower. i like the fluff and smut in it the most :3
Was there anything you wrote that was a surprise to you? Why? probably this fic as a whole because i'm sooo much more used to writing fluffy romantic stuff that trying to write anything toxic or angsty is so out of my comfort zone LMFAO
What is your favourite piece of description you wrote? Why do you like it? from this fic, cuz i'm a sucker for pred/prey dynamics >:)
Astarion took a moment, peering down at him poker-faced. Whenever their eyes had met throughout the day caused a strange sensation to shoot through his body, one Gale had failed to place until now. A physiological reaction - his body responding to a perceived threat. Fight or flight, one could call it. He wouldn't consider himself scared of the pale elf, but his body recognised him as a danger nonetheless. A predator, eyeing his prey.
What was your favourite piece of dialogue you wrote? Why do you like it? from this fic, cuz i liked gale quite rightly telling astarion off, even if they're both insufferable as god/vampire lord. toxic divorcees my beloved
“Has it not yet occurred to you that perhaps I did not want to be found?!” he snapped, though the anger was brief and his demeanour morphed into one more sombre. “Astarion, you betrayed me. We made a promise to each other, and you waited until our companions were long gone to turn on me. When I finally achieved the Godhood I so ardently longed for, all I could think of upon my return is that I had no one to share it with.”
What was your overall feeling about your writing in 2023? What were you proud of? What were the highlights? i hadn't written a fic for about 12 years. idk what it is about BG3 and bloodweave but i had so many ideas i couldn't convey through art alone that i felt obligated to start writing fics.
writing has helped me make lots of friends who are so skilled and talented, and i admire them sooo much. i want to improve and get on their level so i feel more deserving of the attention i get. i feel like i get better with each new fic/chapter!
What would you like to explore more in 2024? learn more big words LOL uhhh maybe get better with more flowery prose? i feel like my writing is lacking in that regard. we'll see! it'd also be nice to commit to more multichapter stuff. i have a bunch of oneshot ideas but it'd be nice to have consistently updated bigger fics. idk i'm just winging it!!!!!!!!!!
