The cryptids love being brushed, and they've discovered that if they catch me at the sink in the morning, combing my hair, I'll give them a quick comb as well. For several months now I've emerged from the shower every day to two impatient cats yelling for their morning salon styling. I got them a smaller, finer-toothed comb than mine, and they know which one is theirs and get excited when I pick it up.
Polk has also been suffering from dry skin, so I bought a bottle of spray moisturizer for cats, and every morning I spray their comb with moisturizer and then give them a brushing. It does make their coats very soft and Polk is less itchy all the time. But what I've realized is that aside from the shower, combing my hair is really the only morning toilette I do. I don't use product, but my cats do.
Which means, functionally, that my cats now have a more extensive morning beauty routine than I do.
[ID: Two photos; the first shows Dearborn the tortie, lying on the sofa amid heaps of pillows, lit by the sun and looking a little wild. The second shows just the face of Polk the tabby as she crouches on the duvet, peering out from under a pair of grey striped pajamas she has nestled into. They both look like they have very soft, sleek fur, because they do.]

knot happening (part one) — bnha, alpha!bakugou katsuki x f!reader, aged up characters, established relationship, a/b/o dynamics, use of "brat" and "pipsqueak" as pet names, smut in the second part (coming soon), omegaverse!au for the spring fever collab run by @lorelune ! 1.2k words
your new company has some... interesting policies for employee heat cycles. you do your best to find a loophole.
Tumblr media
"I can't do it."
"The hell d'ya mean, you can't do it?"
You give your Pro Hero boyfriend and resident alpha A Look. Bakugou Katsuki has the grace to shut his mouth, but he rolls his eyes and drapes a heavy arm over your shoulders, yanking you into him on the faded yellow couch you picked out together years ago.
"This is my first heat at this new job, and it's just... embarrassing. Do you know what they do, Katsuki?"
He raises a sharp blonde eyebrow in invitation.
"They..." your voice drops with horror, "they announce it to the whole company."
"Hah?" Katsuki sits up a little, strong thighs flexing beneath his gym shorts. He came in on the tail end of your mental breakdown, finding you pacing in the living room of your apartment with your hands tugging incessantly on your borrowed shirt. "What the fuck?"
"I know," you wail, "it's ridiculous! The president sends out a company wide email explaining your absence, and the HR team sends you a care basket, and the Sales team sets up a pre-heat drinking party! Do you know what's in the care basket, Katsuki?"
"Do I wanna know?"
"It's filled with sex toys, babe! SEX TOYS! From my company! They're branded!"
A spark lights up in Katsuki's otherwise vaguely concerned expression. "Don't they know you're mated?"
"Yes, of course, that was in my file," you wave him off, still seeing horror images of company branded sex toys floating in your mental vision. "I heard from Sasaki in Accounting that the toys are for when your mate needs a break. Y'know, from fucking."
Katsuki's derisive snort is loud and breaks you out of your personal hellhole. "What kinda fuckin' alpha needs a break when their mate needs 'em?"
"Well, not every alpha is a big strong Pro Hero like you," you point out, poking him on one annoyingly firm bicep. The familiar scent of caramel and smoke fills your nose. "And actually, maybe I should ask if they've got any onaholes for when you're the one in heat. Last time I needed another two days to recover."
"Hah?! There's no fucking way I'll use one of those!"
You peer up at your boyfriend reproachfully. "I like being able to walk, Katsuki."
"You don't need to fuckin' walk if I'm carryin' you everywhere, brat."
"Hmm, we'll see," you say. Katsuki's red eyes flash as you tap your bottom lip with your finger thoughtfully. "There's gotta be a way for me to take a week off work without telling them I'm going into heat."
"There's no way you'll be able to avoid it," Katsuki rumbles, leaning forward to catch your finger with his teeth. He nips at it lightly before leaning down more to capture your lips in a sweet kiss. That, more than anything, finally makes your anxiety simmer down. "You always smell so fucking good before it starts. Everyone's gonna notice."
"You're the only one who can do anything about it, though, so you'll have to keep it in your pants or quit picking me up after work."
"Not happening," Katsuki presses another kiss along your hairline and noses into the strands, sniffing deeply. It tickles, and you laugh, trying halfheartedly to shove him off of you. "What else do they give in these care packages?"
"Actually, besides the super cursed sex toys, they include really good snacks and electrolyte drinks to keep your energy up," you say, "and I'm really glad my company is so open about it all, but it's just so embarrassing!"
Katsuki hums, letting you vent out your worries. You look really pretty like this, dressed in one of his shirts and a pair of pajama shorts, some soft cotton thing that barely covers your perfect ass. He pulls your legs onto his lap and you flop backwards on the couch, moving on from your minor breakdown to sharing a funny story that happened to one of your new coworkers the other day. He had missed hearing about it then, stuck on overtime for a patrol, so he basks in your attention now as the two of you laze around on the couch.
The afternoon passes into evening. It's a rare lazy Monday together — your new job lets you have three day weekends in exchange for slightly longer work days, and Katsuki's patrol schedule happened to line up this week. You're digging into a pint of ice cream after polishing off a plate of his delicious (but spicy) curry and rice when it comes up again.
"What're you gonna do about your heat?"
"Well, I was thinking," you slide your spoon into the thick cream and wave it at him, "I'll still need to use my authorized heat cycle time off, since I want to save my vacation and comp time for real uses, so there's no avoiding the company finding out..."
Katsuki raises an eyebrow and accepts the spoonful of ice cream you're dangling in his face. His tongue pokes out to chase a bit of cream lingering on the edge of his lip and he grins, sharp, at the way your eyes track the movement. "But...?"
You have a feeling Katsuki hasn't fully thought through the horrors of corporate sponsored pleasure items, but you have, and the thought of everyone at your new company knowing you'll be getting fucked within an inch of your life makes you want to shrivel up and die. All companies have policies in place to protect time off for heat cycles, as society couldn't function otherwise, but this is the first place you've worked where impending heat cycles are declared company-wide. Normally it's just marked as time off.
"But they don't have to find out until after it starts, right? So as long as I can get through the pre-heat stuff without anyone noticing, I can avoid the cursed care package and company-wide email!"
"Ain't happening," Katsuki says flatly.
"We've been mated for sooo long now, babe," your gaze flicks up to meet his and you pout. Your boyfriend outright snorts when you start batting your eyelashes at him. "Surely you can resist the pre-heat symptoms this one time? I swear I'll get over my company's shenanigans once I see it happen to a few other people. It's really great how supportive they are, but I need some time, that's all."
"Your heat is in like. Two weeks," Katsuki says.
You pout up at him some more.
"During your last heat cycle we broke the mattress frame when I missed your first few pre-heat days."
"Yeah, but that was because you had that mission that went long," you say. If you could just... convince him... "C'mon, babe, this will be different! You're such a strong, powerful alpha — resisting me will be a piece of cake! Unless..." you pause and scoop another bite of ice cream into your mouth, "you're too weak to resist me."
"Are you callin' me weak?" Katsuki narrows his eyes. You wave your spoon casually and shrug.
"I mean... all you've gotta do is ignore my pre-heat. I'm just an itty bitty omega..."
Getting into a staring match with Pro Hero Dynamight is not on anyone's Top Ten Good Ideas list, but you match your boyfriend's red glare steadily.
"Alright, pipsqueak, you're on," Katsuki scoffs. "We'll see who's beggin' for who by the time your heat rolls around."

(I don't know if you do smut and or poly ghostface and if you don't then just ignore this <3)
the reader and stu and billy have all been in a relationship together for a while but have yet to have sex (they've done just about everything else tho ;)) because the reader is a virgin and stu and billy have been respectful of that because they love her. Anyways, she tells them that she's ready to have sex and stu and billy are excited. When they have sex stu and billy are quite sweet with her but are still very much stu and billy.
(I'm so sorry if that made no sense and if you don't understand that's totally ok. I just wanna see stu and billy being a little nice during sex <33)
I do indeed write smut and for poly ghostface
❝movie night❞
Tumblr media
✭ pairing : billy loomis x reader x stu macher
✭ fandom : scream
✭ summary : (y/n) is secretly dating her two best friends Sidney and Tatum boyfriends behind their backs and after movie night, the night takes a turn in interesting way
✭ slashers masterlist
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were in the living room with Sidney and Tatum for the weekly movie night at Stu's place, it had been something the small friendship group has included you on upon moving here a few months back but during those months of moving here interesting things have happened.
You ended up in a secret affair with boy boyfriends of Tatum and Sidney and though you felt wrong about being with them behind the two girls back but at the same time it was exciting.
Stu and Billy stood in the kitchen, they were getting some popcorn and drinks for not only themselves but for the girls as well. “How long is the popcorn gonna take?” Stu whined.
Billy as usual paid the tall boy any mind, “In a few more minutes,” he says for what felt like the hundredth time.
The boys could hear the giggles from rooms away, “What they laughing about?” Billy asks as Stu comes up behind him and plants his head on his shoulder. “Who knows? Maybe it’s stupid girl gossip,” stu mumbles. All he wanted was the fucking popcorn.
"Wait what!" Tatum almost shouted out if it hadn’t been for you shushing her to keep her volume low so no one else heard, but the boys were officially intrigued.
“What you think she told Tatum to make her react like that?” Stu silently questioned billy who didn’t reply instead seemed to be listening out for more information for they kept silent with their ears open.
"No way, there's no way at all! No offense." Tatum said slightly shocked at the news given to her.
"I just never got around to it, that's all.” You sounded embarrassed now, now they were really curious what could have caused you to feel that way.
"There's no fucking way that you are a virgin!”
“Shush!”
Billy and Stu whip their heads towards one another, and now since they were looking at each other they could make out what the other was thinking. It was like they were having some weird bro conversation in their minds, talking with their expressions.
They had to have misheard her. You, the girl who wore skimpy pajamas to bed with them and short dresses, the same you, was apparently a virgin? No way.
But at the same time it would make sense on certain things. Like why you only every made out with them and let them touch your boobs but when things almost went further you would stop them with flushed cheeks telling them not tonight.
At first they thought you were just being a tease and they were all here for it, they could wait a little bit but upon now learning of this information. Oh the night just got a little better
"What's that supposed to mean?" You were a bit offended at what Tatum said.
"Well, to be honest, we all thought you had sex with Randy." Imagine the look on your face when she said that, “What?! No way, ew! Randy and me are just friends.”
“Yeah but like, he follows you around like a lost puppy." Sidney interjects with her arms crossed over her chest, cheeks flushed from the whole sex talking happening right now
"He does not!" You said, flustered. Sure Randy was a bit clinging but it was because you were the only one who really paid him any mind or gave him the time of day.
Sure he hung out with others, others being your friendship group when you all were together with one another but no one’s really hung out with him alone, you took time out of your day to do that. To make him feel included.
"Randy's got a massive crush on you, (y/n).” Tatum states. “How you let that go over your head, I’ll have no idea,” she laughs.
At that moment, Stu and Billy decide to enter the room, causing all three girls to immediately stop talking about the whole topic and start watching the movie.
“Thank you,” you say taking the bowl of popcorn from Billy’s hand, fingers crossing against one another’s briefly.
“Thanks babe,” Tatum said taking her drink from Stu’s hand.
Throughout the whole movie, it was the Thing playing by the way, a really good movie at that. Billy and Stu couldn’t focus though, their minds elsewhere.
Billy thinks of all the things he could do to you, to ruin you for any other man (or woman). He wasn’t sure if you were bisexual like Stu or experimental like some people.
Billy sits at the farthest part of the couch from the TV, Sidney leaned against his side and Stu is at the other end, with Tatum on his side. You lay between them, your back pressing up against Billy's side, with your feet draped across Stu. The only real people watching the movie intently at this point had to be everyone else but Billy.
Before long Billythe movie is over and Tatum and Sidney are grabbing their stuff and making their way towards the door. “It’s been fun but my stupid brother says I have to be home after the movie otherwise he’ll drop me off at school in the cop car for a whole week, like ew!” Tatum says.
“Yeah and my dad says he doesn’t want me out late with everything happening, you know.” Sidney says sheepishly.
"Bye Tatum, Bye Sid." You say getting up from your spot to walk both girls to the door. “I’d probably crash here like always,” you laugh, you had decided you would stay for just a bit longer to hang out with the boys. You could’ve went home but what was the point of going back to an empty house.
The boys bid their goodbyes to Sidney and Tatum, giving both girls a hug and a kiss - after all they were their “girlfriends” so had to keep up appearances as loving boyfriends to the pair. But once the door was closed, all bets were off they table and they were free to be who they truly were with you.
Stu is the one to close the door, and you had already walked back to the living room and plopped yourself up onto the couch, sprawling out across it.
“I’m bored now!” You groaned.
"You want some food?" Stu asks from by the doorway with Billy at his side. “I noticed you hadn’t really eaten much -“
"Yeah sure!" You yell back, staring at the tv. The end credits from the thing were still playing but you knew it would be off shortly so you didn’t really care all that much
Billy and Stu headed towards the big kitchen, as Billy looks through the cabinets searching for some form of food that you may want.
"So what are we gonna do about the elephant in the room?" Stu asks quietly, leaning against the counter next to Billy.
“If by elephant you mean finding out that (y/n) is a virgin then yeah, I’m working something out right now in my head.
“Well are we just going to ignore it or go with the original plan."
The original plan had been for them to take her as ghostface forcefully because man was it such a turn on seeing her eyes wide with fear and lower lip quivering as she tried to keep her voice silent.
"No way, this changes everything.” Billy replies pulling out a box of cereal from the pantry.
“It does?” Stu says grabbing a bowl and spoon from the dishwasher.
“Yeah, if anything we’ll make our move tonight and make it special in the process.”
Stu and Billy return to the living room with a bowl of your choice of cereal, and hand it to you. “I couldn’t really find you anything you might want right now,” billy says.
You nod in their direction as a thanks, whiles they were gone you had taken to putting on another horror movie and now you were way too engrossed in the movie to realize that they were now sitting on either side of you.
Trapping you like a fly in a spiders web.
But what you do notice is that Billy lays a hand on your soft thigh. Stu immediately takes notice of how your breath hitches at the unexpected touch and how you suddenly are clenching your thighs together.
Stu looks towards Billy from the corner of his eye and then puts his arm around your shoulders.
Billy takes this as a sign, and slowly creeps his hand up your thigh as you attempt to hide how your breathing picks up and your face grows red from his touch.
He had this effect on you, both boys did and they knew it. Bastards were toying with you now that both girls were gone
Billy’s hand come to a stop, but he is now dangerously close to your clothes vaginal area. He’s so close he can feel the warmth radiating off of it. God he wanted to take you right here and then.
At this point, you aren't paying any attention to the movie, anymore. No you’re far to occupied with your breaths that are coming out in deep pants. When Billy goes to move his hand even closer, your hand rests on top of his, stopping him.
"B-billy?” Your voice is scolding and shaking, this behavior isnt anything new from him.
"What- what are you doing?"
Stu stays cuddled into your side, his own hand - his much larger, longer fingered hand at that moves to your thigh as well.
"What's the matter, sweetheart? Uncomfortable?" Stu teases, and you can’t help but to squirm under their watchful gaze. It’s like they are enjoying how nervous you are right now.
"N-no, it's just that-" You swallow the lump in your throat. "We are watching a movie." You squeak out as he dips his head down to lay opened mouth kisses on your neck.
“No baby girl, you got it all wrong. You’re watching the movie, stu and I are watching you.”
"Yeah princess, you can continue to watch the movie whiles billy and I continue what we’re doing," Stu says it like it's the simplest thing in the world. And you gasp, when he slides his hand underneath your dress, and makes his way into your underwear.
You hadn’t thought much about putting on the shortest white dress you could find in your closet, after all you were going to be hanging out with your friends - minus Randy, he had work tonight and plus it was comfortable and freeing and cute.
You moan embarrassingly loud when stu’s pointer finger swipes across your wet cunt. Stu laughs against your neck, and pulls away to smile wide at Billy.
"Dude she's so wet." He says and watches as Billy is shivering with excitement.
“Oh is she, well I guess I’ll just need to have a look and feel for myself." Before you can even scold them for talking about you like you aren't there. Stu dips his fingers into your underwear once more as well and slides his fingers across your cunt once more. Again you find yourself moaning at his touch, again.
This time Billy joins in and moves to rubbing slow circles around your clit.
It all feels like too much and not enough at the same time. And you're so confused, why are they acting like this? Tonight of all nights too?
"Billy, Stu." You whimper. "Why are you doing this?”
"It's okay, beautiful." Billy starts, as Stu continues to gently rub his finger against your cunt.
"You're ours remember, and as ours we just want t9 touch you and make you feel good."
“Yeah princess, don’t you want us to make you feel good?”
"wha-" You begin to speak, but Stu is quick to shut you up by slipping his long finger into you. Billy pulls his hand away, and you unintentionally whine in protest.
“God your so tight,” Stu practically growls out.
Billy can’t help himself, and without much thought he pulls you up into his lap. He’s now grabbing at your hips and even pulls you down to rub against his confined cock.
“Fuck,” you cry out from the pleasure you were feeling.
"J-jesus." He stutters, the feeling of your warm clothed cunt against his clothed length is heavenly to him. "She's so warm, Stu."
Stu hums in approval, coming up to stand in front of you. His hands slide underneath your white dress, pushing it up and over your tits.
You're basically naked now, sitting on Billy's lap with his cock pressing against your virgin cunt. And you're shaking mostly from arousal but also from confusion and anticipation.
‘It feels so good’ you think to yourself.
"She's shaking like crazy." Billy laughs at you, taking pleasure in the way you are feeling and it’s all their fault.
"I can tell." Stu responds, his hands massaging your tits as he gives them his absolute focus.
One of his hands goes to play your nipple, pinching it harshly. Stiffening it up as you whimper at the feelin, but a few seconds later you’re moaning loudly with Billy's lips wrap around the opposite nipple.
You’re back in bent in a odd way for billy can have access to your tits but it’s not uncomfortable.
Billy sucks on one, grazing it with his sharp teeth, and Stu takes the other inbetween his fingers, pinching and pulling on it. “You have such pretty tits princess.”
“Yeah she does,” billy pulls away to speak before going back at it with sucking on them.
You're so distracted by the pleasure you don't even notice Billy has now found a way to take off his pants and underwear. You gasp loudly when he presses himself against you. God he was so hard and god he was also so fucking big.
"Billy." You pant. "I can't -“
"Why not, sweetheart?" Billy tilts his head at you, and pouts his fingers once more playing with your tits.
He looks at you waiting for an answer that he already knows, asshole just wanted to hear you say it."I'm a virgin." You wince when you say it, expecting him to push you off and tell you to get out, somewhere in your head you’ve always feared their reaction to learning that you were a virgin.
He laughs, and Stu giggles, laying wet kisses across your neck.
Billy pulls you into another kiss, it's open mouthed and down right dirty. It leaves you aching and wanting more. One hand grips the side of your neck, and squeezes and you can feel yourself choking back a moan into his mouth. His other hand is on his cock, gently rubbing the tip against your still clothed clit.
You're rocking your hips, rutting against his dick.
Stu’s no longer on your tits, no now he’s sucking dark hickeys along the sides of your neck that Billy's hand isn't on. Before you can comprehend what’s happening, you feel it.
And that causes you stop all together when he moves his dick to your hole, your panties are still on, blocking him from entering but will it really be enough to stop him?
"You can't.” You’re begging now and Billy think's it's absolutely adorable. Stu laughs, his hand going to your hips to hold you still.
"Shhh, it's okay." Billy attempts to confront you. "Just the tip? please baby."
"But we don't have condoms." You gasp, as he begins to push in.
“No you’re right, but your panties are in the way so it’s alright.”
"I'll pull out after a few minutes,” He promises, but he knows he won't. He's got you exactly where he wants you. He wants to see you round in the belly area with his and Stu’s baby. He wants to feel the swell of your cunt when him and stu return home every day from killing horny teens. He just wants you all to himself, stu too.
So if you think he's going to miss out on the opportunity to cum inside of you? Oh you have another thing coming.
You begin whining even more when he gets the tip in. "It hurts." You murmur, tears welling in your eyes.
"Oh babe. Stu says, mockingly sympathetic as he rubs his thumb across your cheeks feeling the wet substance.
Billy moans at the feeling of your pussy clenching at the intrusion. He groans when he notices the tears falling from your eyes too. “Fuck,” he breathlessly mumbles out.
"Fuck man, she's crying." Stu moans out watching as billy pushes just a little further inside of you.
"Billy!”
Oh now you’re squealing, he's more inside you than just the tip as promised, and you're a little upset that he lied to you but are you truly?
"C'mon baby, just a little more. I won't go any further than that" Billy says, pushing in just a little bit with each word.
Your hands go to stu’s shoulder and you attempt to hide your face in his neck. But Stu grabs your own shoulders and leans you forward to pull you into a heated kiss. Suddenly, Bill grabs your hips and slams them down, pushing all the way into you. You cry out, pulling away from Stu.
"Damn, You're gonna break her," Stu laughs watching the scene with excitement, your panties are still on causing you to feel extra stuffed but they seem to be tearing at the sides now.
"If you could feel how tight she is you'd do the same thing." Billy groans, and you babble to yourself about something they can't seem to understand. He's hitting something so deep inside of you that you that you can't speak properly.
"Awww, look at her." Stu mocks. "She's so cock drunk she can't even speak."
You instinctually start rocking your hips, and Billy pulls out a bit, “Stu take her panties off quickly” he commands and Stu never one to displeasure billy listens, billy once more is shoving back inside of you and this time you moan, really loud at that.
Stu seems entranced, staring at where you and Billy are connected.
"You’re doing so damn well, sweetheart." Billy grunts, pressing into you and then pulling out, just to repeat the action all over again.
“You're so fucking beautiful." You moan at the praise.
There's a tightness in your stomach, and it seems to be getting tighter by the second.
"Look at, you’re so fucking dumb." Stu says, lips next to your ear now, “You thought that if you let Billy and me fuck you raw he wouldn't use the opportunity to cum inside you?" He laughs as if he’s just told them funniest joke, “Look at you now. So cock drunk, our sweet, dumb little whore."
"Huh?" You say, confused. "What?" You moan again, squeezing down on Billy's cock.
"Listen closely princess, Billy boy here is is going to cum inside you, and then i'm going to fuck you, then I'm gonna' cum inside your fucked out cunt. Me and him are just going to keep fucking this cunt until it’s all used up and sloppy from both of our cocks.”
You whine in protest, trying to pull away from Billy but when his dick starts twitching inside you and Stu reaches down and rubs at your clit, gently pinching every now and then before rubbing it again. That tightness in your stomach snaps, and you cry out, clenching around Billy’s dick as you shout out, “I’m cumming!”
You quiver in Billy's lap, waves of pleasure flowing through your body. You can now feel warmth flooding your cunt as he spills inside of you, filling you up with his every being.
You whine again, panting some more as Billy pulls from out of you, his cock softening but still twitching as it rests against your exposed cunt that drips with his cum.
"Yes, you are sweetheart." Stu says watching as you twitched slightly coming down from your high, “But now it’s my turn princess." Stu pulls you from off Billy's lap, slamming you down on the other end of the couch and positioning himself in between your legs.
“Don’t worry princess,” stu says noticing the look of fear in your eyes, “this is going to hurt some” - he says before slamming his way inside your used cunt.

rubbish and the weather
A/N: my first hp universe fic 🥺 i hope somebody enjoys this because i LOVE neville and i LOVE friends to lovers tropes
Pairings: Neville Longbottom x Fem!Reader
Summary: Neville is hiding two things from you: the chest under his bed and his affections for you. 1.5k words
Warnings: fluff, face kisses, friendly teasing/bullying, SICKENING pining, neville being borderline creepy but in a sweet way, cursing, friends to… lovers?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"'Some have begun to question whether or not the Sorting Hat even exists'. Oh, be serious, there's no way anyone would believe this rubbish"—you toss the flimsy tabloid to the foot of the bed, nearly pelting Neville with the busily patterned cover—"Now, if they'd asked, does the Sorting Hat actually sort... well, then I'd have to think about it."
"If you think it's rubbish, then why are you subscribed?"
He doesn't even have to glance up from his almanac to know you're glaring holes through his skull. And you don't have to see the other side of his skull to know that he's borderline laughing at you.
"Oh, and I'm sure what you're reading is much more enlightening. What is this?"—You snatch the thin booklet from his lap, illuminating the soft yellow cover under your suddenly glowing wand—"Last year's Farmers' Almanac?"
"Give me that—I'm trying to follow weather patterns to understand what crops might attract juvenile basilisks to common gardens in order to decrease slug attacks on spring harvests. Are you even listening?" he whines, smacking your calf with the booklet as you reach for a worn quill and a shred of parchment.
"Mhm! Baby basilisks, slug attacks, harvests, got it!" you coo, scribbling across the paper flattened against the headboard of his bed.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, plant boy! Go back to reading."
"Actually, I prefer plantsman, thank you very much."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, plant boy."
He turns his back to you again, sitting criss-cross on the edge of the bed, hunched over as he scans the pages for keywords and uncommon patterns.
You shift across the bed, draping one arm over Neville's shoulder and dropping the slip of paper into his lap. Your head rests on his other shoulder while he picks at the edges of the piece and ignores the fire in his face.
"For me?" he says, holding it in his palms like it could rip at any second. Like he'll blink and it'll turn to shreds in his fingers.
"It's your little basilisk"—you run your fingertip along the bottom corner where a tiny, overly worried snake sits looking up at a gigantic slug with sharp teeth that towers over him and his tomato plant—"I don't know how he's going to defend his crops this spring."
You blow a puff of air against the back of his neck, chuckling when he startles and slips the comic into the breast pocket of his pajamas.
"So you were listening after all," he teases, turning over his shoulder to find you splayed out across the bed, face buried in his pillows, arms outstretched like you're reaching for something. He wants to reach back. He wants this kind of view for the rest of his life, if only from afar.
You mumble something into the fluff and shriek when he grabs for your ankle.
"Can't hear all your whining through the bedding."
When you look at him, he thinks he could die. Your eyes sparkle in the dim and awfully warm lightning. If he's lucky, you'll brush off all of his feverish blushing as some sort of medical condition. But he's never been very lucky which is why he reaches for the back of his neck when you grin and roll over.
"I wasn't whining, I was saying—"
Light floods the room as the door flaps open to a few familiar faces that look like they've seen a ghost. You spring out of Neville's bed and gather your supplies. He feels a buzzing in his palms that begs him to beg you to stay. But it's against the rules. Even more so than your presence alone in the boys' dorms.
"I guess that's my cue to leave," you chirp, saluting to the quartet of boys shuffling through the doorway with wide eyes and shy smiles.
"Goodnight, Neville."
You kiss his cheek, patting his shoulder and flitting back through the door with one last wave. Neville sighs and tosses his almanac aside, swinging his legs off the side of the bed before he hears a chorus of high-pitched teasing:
"Goodnight, Neville! I love you, Neville!" Not to mention the kissing sounds and squeaky sighs from the group of Gryffindor imbeciles.
He would never admit it out loud, but even imagining you professing your love for him gives him butterflies. His heart races at the thought of your voice wrapped around the sweet words, your lips forming the dewy syllables just right. But he rolls his eyes and groans, settling across his mattress and forgetting the drawing in his pocket.
...
You'd been wandering around the boys' dormitories in your house sweater, humming the song that played in the pub down the road. Usually you invade Neville's space to study or catch up on tabloids, but tonight you're restless. His quill is flicking away at a sheet of classwork he forgot about until the last minute.
As you press your fingertips to each quilt stitch and dresser decoration, you notice a piece of metal gleaming at you from underneath his bed. A sharp corner protrudes from the edge; it belongs to a small brown leather chest buckled in brass and blooming with rust.
"What's this?" you coo, holding the chest across both of your palms, nudging his calf with your foot and grinning mischievously down at him. And he looks genuinely scared. Pale as a ghost and scrambling after you as you take off across the room with elated giggles and chirps.
"No—no! Give that back, it's personal!" he whines, panting as you bound over one of the beds and curl your arms around the box.
"What's yours is mine, Longbottom! Come on, whatever it is can't be that bad—"
He grabs the back of your sweater like the scruff of a puppy, dragging you backwards and knocking you off kilter. He nearly catches the chest with his hands, but you duck out of reach and jump onto his bed before he can get to you again.
"Tell me, what on Earth could Neville Longbottom be hiding—"
His heart stops when you flick open the latch and toss the lid wide. Then your smile falls.
You finger over the contents of the chest, scraps of parchment and ink fill it to its brim. They nearly spill over the edges when you plop down onto his mattress with the chest in your lap.
Your mouth opens and closes with revelation and awe. Each page is one of your spontaneously dorky animations. Spiky creatures and demon garden spawn and caricatures of Professor Snape litter the pile. They're all drawings you remember, each connects to a moment between the two of you.
Neville takes a deep breath and doesn't dare step closer, "It's not what it looks like—"
"You kept them?" you whisper, looking up at him in shock, "All of them?"
You're still flipping through the stack when he shrugs with a worrisome smile.
"...Yes."
You pause. You pause and take a sharp breath in because he's never sounded so sure in a word. You do a double take at one of the sketches. He sits on the edge of the bed, wringing his hands and glancing over at you anxiously.
"Neville"—and here it comes, he thinks, creepy, perverted, obsessive, and those sorts of things. And you wouldn't be wrong. But then he thinks he might be wrong. Because you set the box aside and spring toward him like a goddamn panther, landing him flat on the floor with a groan.
"That's adorable!
Your wet lips find his cheek and the rest of his face, hands wound into the collar of his sleep shirt as you leer down at him with a grin.
"I didn't think anyone paid attention to those stupid things."
"Well. I do," he huffs.
"I can see that, you sicko!" you shriek, "You better thank your lucky stars I'm so nice. Any other girl would've sent you right to Snape for being so perverted and creepy."
Called it.
"That's why I did it to you, not some other girl."
He doesn't know what to do with his hands, and you go shy thinking you might've crossed a line. Maybe you got too excited, flew too close to the sun, lips too close to his own. But the closeness had felt nice, and you want to make him blush like that forever.
"So you're saying it's not because I'm the prettiest girl at Hogwarts."
And you bat your lashes, pouting and leaving him weak in the knees. With your palms on his chest and you leaning closer, he's tempted to admit he's taken with you. To admit he's loved you since first year. To admit you are the prettiest girl at Hogwarts and in London and the rest of Europe. Forget the world, you're his.
"I never said that," Neville mumbles. It’s the closest he'll ever get to a real confession. At least this year.

guilty — k. chaewon x p. sooyoung
Tumblr media Tumblr media
cw: cheating. sexual coercion. chaewon calling joy eonnie. dni if uncomfortable with such themes.
crossposted on ao3; promoted on twitter.
Tumblr media
chaewon had always been a fan of red velvet, even more so ever since she got to debut with sakura who, despite their busy schedule, had been following the group in particular. it was definitely a surprise when she got a message from one of the group's member, joy.
oh my god, is this real? chaewon thought to herself as she read the message from her senior, telling her she had asked their manager to get chaewon's personal number and that she wanted to get to know the girl better as she found chaewon interesting. the younger girl didn't think much of it, as she was over the moon, happy that their senior idol has recognized her.
chaewon quickly replied, thanking the girl for taking the time to personally get to know her and the next thing she know, she was on her way to meet up with joy late at night.
"you're here." joy said smiling at chaewon as the younger bowed at her. "sunbae-nim, thank you for inviting me." chaewon timidly said as she took a sit in front of joy. the two of them enjoyed their time talking about almost anything over wine without even realizing the time.
"oh no, it's gotten a bit late. do you have any schedules tomorrow—today, i mean." joy worriedly asked and chaewon completely dismisses that by replying no and explaining that they were on a three day break after their promotions. "really? that sounds nice, i'm on a break too. do you want to sleep over?" thrilled, chaewon didn't think twice but to agree, not knowing what's in store for her.
it was pas two am when they've arrived at joy's apartment. "feel comfortable, chaewon-ah. i'll get you a pair of pajamas so you can wash up, mhm?" joy said to which chaewon nodded and started to look around the living room of the apartment. it was spacious, clean, and the whole vibe is what you would of expected of park sooyoung. "here, pretty. there's a bathroom at the end of the hallway, get cozy, i'll wait here." and chaewon did as she was told. although there was one, tiny problem— she's unprepared and didn't have panties to wear underneath the satin short pj's her new unnie has given her.
it was okay, chaewon thought. it's not like it should be a big deal. both of them were girls and hell, joy was in a relationship, isn't she? they're just friends. when chaewon got out of the bathroom with fresh clothes, joy was in a similar pair of pj's, except it was in red while chaewon's was in pink. "i had to match yours!" joy giggled as she pat the space next to her on the couch, opening a can of beer for chaewon to take.
"unnie, i really didn't think i'd be friends with you." chaewon says earning a giggle from the older. "yeah? but i've always wanted to be your friend! i thought your group reminded me of ours when we were younger. are any of your members dating?" the younger profusely shook her head denying as her cheeks blushed, to which joy teased her for. "mhm? fucking, then?" a deeper shade of red flushed chaewon's cheeks. "unnie! it's not like... it's not like that." still blushing, chaewon's voice was a bit squeakier now. joy rested her back, intrigued.
"yeah? how is it, then? i mean, nothing wrong with fucking around, right?" the older nonchalantly took a sip of her beer whilst the younger looked at her like a curious lamb, cheeks red from blushing. "i... i guess? i-i've never..." chaewon's voice was soft and quiet but it was loud enough to catch joy's attention. the older briefly raising a brow at the remark and chaewon didn't fail to catch that. shy, she could only down the remaining of her beer. "you're a virgin?" the younger could only nod timidly, head dipped down. this was joy's queue to do what she had wanted.
"but have you ever thought of doing it, with, i don't know, somebody? a peer?" joy asked with so much fascination, as if she was genuinely curious and it made chaewon sigh. i mean, she's my senior, right? i'm sure she's just... curious. "mhm..." she shook her head, biting on her lower lip. "i... tried doing it alone but it doesn't feel good." chaewon couldn't even finish her sentence without squeaking, embarrassment washing over her. she couldn't help but hide her face in her palms, earning a low chuckle from joy who took the liberty to scoot closer, holding the younger in her arm while the other caressed her legs.
"oh, sweetheart. it doesn't feel good at first. i used to not feel good too," joy cooed, "not until irene unnie helped me." shocked, chaewon finally looked at joy, eyes as wide as doe; she looks so innocent, joy thought.
"irene...sunbaenim did?" joy nodded, all smiley. but didn't joy unnie have a partner? "i know what you're thinking. irene unnie does it best." chaewon looked down to see joy's hand on her inner thigh, caressing the softness of her skin which made her shudder. looking up at the older, she mumbled as she called out for joy's name. "u-unnie?"
"you know, chaewon, it's not even hard to feel good. you just have to feel appreciated with someone." joy's voice was soft, dotting onto chaewon. "appreciated the same way as i do you." joy whispered against chaewon's ears, lips touching her lobe. "u-unnie, w-we can't," the younger, quivering away, says, but sooyoung only held her closer, her hand that was on chaewon's inner thigh, now dangerously close to her center, caressing her soft skin. "mhm? don't you want unnie to show you her love?" the cunning girl said, trailing kisses on chaewon's neck. chaewon didn't know what to do, she knew this was wrong. joy has a partner, but why does she feel funny? she feels as though she wanted joy—no, she does want her.
"i-i do! b-but your b-boyfriend...?" that made joy laugh out loud. boyfriend... funny because right now, all she ever wants was this young girl in front of her. "shh, you worry too much, baby. let unnie take care of you, mhm?" chaewon nodded and the next thing she know, the older had her sit in between her legs, head turned as joy kissed her softly yet chaewon felt the eagerness in the kiss.
chaewon hummed against joy's lips as joy ran her tongue along her lower lip to which chaewon parted. she wasn't a great kisser—hell, far from it, but joy loved the taste of her mouth mixed with the taste of beer and the clumsiness of chaewon's tongue. she's so clueless, so innocent yet you know hungry for what's yet to come her way. joy drags her lips down chaewon's jaw, trailing them down the younger's jaw, earning a soft sigh from chaewon. "mhm, you smell good." she whispered against chaewon's neck, before sucking on a patch of skin making the smaller girl gasp out both in pain and pleasure of the older marking her. “you like that?” joy chuckled lowly, her hands now caressing chaewon's boobs through the thin satin top.
her nipples were hard, harder every time joy rolls them in between her fingers, even more so when joy finally unbuttoned her pajamas, now toying her hard buds bare. "u-unnie..." chaewon whimpered, subconsciously pushing her hips upwards. to joy, it was the sweet girl begging to get touched where she deserves it. joy used her hands to spread chaewon's legs, caressing her softly, hands purposely ignoring where the little girl wants its best. "u-unnie, i want to feel good." chaewon whispered.
joy didn't bother replying but her hand found its way inside of chaewon's shorts and to her delight, the sweet girl was already wet and ready for her. "good girl, all ready for her unnie, am i right?" joy's teasing remark made the younger whine, burying her face onto the taller girl's neck. joy used her index finger to gently rub chaewon's clit, earning a moan from the girl. her sounds only amplified joy's desire to have the girl, making her move her fingers faster in small, circular motions, her thumb occasionally flicking chaewon's clit—the little girl squirming with every flick. chaewon's never felt this before, god, she felt so fucking good, she wants more.
without thinking, chaewon moved her hips, eager to feel more of her unnie's hand on her center. "unnie, more, please..." that was all joy wanted to hear from her. talking her out to continuing it in her room, chaewon laid in her bed, all naked and ready for her. intoxicated with all the drinks they've had all night, it was hard for chaewon to move, yet alone think properly as soon as she felt the soft mattress. however, joy's presence and how the taller girl slowly took off her own clothes, seducing her, was enough to wake her up. "uh, uh, stay down, my sweet angel. spread your legs for unnie, will you?" joy said with her sweetest smile, but that wasn't what chaewon was focused in. it was her beautiful, plump tits, moving along with every step she took as she got closer to her. "i-is this really okay, unnie? what if you boyfrie—" chaewon didn't even get to finish her sentence when joy had finally settled herself in between the younger's legs, the side of her leg resting on her inner thighs as she looked up to meet chaewon's eyes. "we don't talk about him here, alright? we're here because i like you, chaewon-ah. i want you to feel good." chaewon let out a sharp gasp as joy finally pressed her lips over chaewon's clit, giving it a kiss before she wrapped her lips around the nub, earning a loud moan from the younger.
joy took her time, using her tongue, rolling it around chaewon's clit, flicking it, and every time she does, chaewon's body flinches and her moans grow louder as she get wetter with every touch. "you're so wet, chaewon-ah. do you like this, mhm? you like it when i touch you like this?" chaewon could only moan in response as she felt joy's middle and index finger slipping inside her hole, a loud, high pitched moan coming out from chaewon's parted lips as she felt her finger inside of her.
"n-no, no... no! unnie, take it out, p-please, it stings! it hurts!" chaewon said in a panic, trying to pull away from joy. the older shushing her down— she expected she would be tight, but not as tight as this. chaewon's walls hugged fingers as tight as it could. "god, you're so fucking tight, chaewon-ah. you really were a virgin, were you?" joy whispered but loud enough for chaewon to hear. it was her hot breath against her clit that made her shiver and forget about the pain. letting the girl adjust, she peppered her core soft kisses, trying to ease the pain for her before she started to slowly curl her fingers inside of chaewon, the younger’s body arching as the tip of joy’s fingers easily found her spot, the virgin, overwhelmed with this, almost came, but it wasn’t enough for her to actually cum. “tsk, you’re not to cum yet, sweetheart. this isn’t even all yet.” was all joy had to say before she started thrusting her fingers in and out of chaewon’s cunt whilst her lips wrap around her clit, sucking on it.
“unnie—f-fuck! f-feels so g-good… fuck, joy unnie…” chaewon’s words came out slightly gibberish, joy could only chuckle but the vibrations from that only made chaewon squeal in delight as it felt so good against her clit. increasing the pace of her fingers, she even curls her fingers inside every after thrust she makes and it was driving chaewon insane. the young girl doesn’t know where to put her hands, but it finds its way to joy’s head, pulling her hair. fuck, this gir’s driving me insane, joy could only think as she liked the inflicted pain from the hair pulling.
the simple hair pulling was enough for joy to increase her pace. chaewon had started riding her thrusts, hips moving in sync with every thrust. strings of begs and profanities escaped chaewon’s pretty lips. her tongue sticking out and joy can swear it was as if she was begging for a cock to fuck her face and mouth. the older girl felt chaewon’s walls hug her fingers tighter even more than before. it was insane, she never realized how tight someone can be, but here chaewon was, proving her wrong. “u-unnie… g-good… m-more… no— my t-tummy…” words were coming out funny, but chaewon’s head was all over the place as she felt pressure building on her abdomen. her juices were dripping down to her ass, coating joy’s finger so so fucking well. “oh, baby, look at you, so fucking wet for unnie, aren’t you?” joy’s cunning remark along with the slaps on her clit that replaced her mouth made chaewon’s body curl and squirm, loud, airy moans coming out of her mouth. she shook her head, not knowing where to look nor what to do. she just feels… good.
joy pulled herself up, mouth now sucking on her hard nipples, rolling around the nub before she nibbled and flicked on each nub alternatively. her hunger heightened with every move the sweet girl does, every noise that escapes her mouth. she wanted chaewon and now, she wants her more than ever. “cum for unnie, my sweet chaewon. show me you appreciate me the way i do you.” joy’s voice was so beautiful, so daring, so sexy.
“i-i’m cumming… cumming! u-unnie—!” chaewon’s voice was loud as well as her gasp. it was sharp and her breathing stopped as her walls clenched so tightly around joy, her cum coating her fingers, her clit pulsating against joy’s thumb that had been rubbing circles clumsily around it. “beautiful… fuck, chaewon, you’re so, so good for me.” joy kissed her on the lips as she pulled her fingers out. chaewon looked at her, tears glossing her eyes, breathing heavily as she gain composure back from her first high… her very first ever. “unnie…” chaewon says and pauses.“it felt so good, but… i feel guilty. so, so guilty.”  before joy could even console her, chaewon pulled the older woman up with all her remaining strength, hands now groping joy’s tits, feeling her nipples get hard with her caressing them. she wasn’t going to cry. was she guilty knowing joy had a boyfriend? no. far from it. chaewon felt guilty that she loved it, she loves it. and that she wanted more. “can i return the favor? i feel bad not doing so.” chaewon said with the weakest yet cutest chuckle joy has ever heard. who was she now to say no?

Nothing Compares 2 You
Pairing: RockstarEddieMunsonxReader
Request: Thank you to @munsonfire for this request and for allowing me the use of her edit! I love emotional drama and you are very good at it (as you are very good at everything else). Eddie has to leave town because he's becoming famous and they break up. They still love each other after all these years, but they've never spoken to each other. Eddie may have had many girls in his life, she may have always followed him in the tabloids and thought he had forgotten about her. somehow, by chance, they might see each other again... when she thought she'd never see him again?

“I don’t understand why we’re going to Rockefeller Center in October,” you mused, walking along with your best friends, Nancy and Robin. “Isn’t seeing the massive Christmas tree and ice skating the whole point of Rockefeller Center?”
Nancy sighed, looping her arm through yours, “Yes, but the whole area is full of shops and great restaurants. We can do a little shopping and grab a late lunch.  And how can we travel to New York City and not see Rockefeller Center?”
You shrugged. The three of you were having a girls long weekend in New York City. Only Nancy would want her bachelorette party to be a weekend of Broadway, culture, and history. The three of you had seen Anna Kerenina last night and it had been amazing. You’d also gone to Central Park, gone to the top of the Empire State Building, seen Times Square, and gone to The Met. Tomorrow was supposed to be the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. 
Jonathan had popped the question last Christmas and your two friends were getting married in November. They were keeping the wedding fairly small. You and Robin were the only bridesmaids. Jonathan’s brother, Will, and his friend, Argyle, were the groomsman. The guys were doing a camping weekend, inviting along the rest of the crew. Jonathan and Nancy were not interested in the usual partying or strippers and while it may seem odd to most, you thought it was actually kind of refreshing.
As you approached Rockefeller center, you smiled. It was a perfect fall day, a world of color and warmth. The leaves were changing, the trees blazing in shades of red and orange. The sky was a clear, bright blue and you could sense the excitement in the air, the city vibrant and full of life. It felt like walking through a painting, every corner you turned a new picture full of beauty and wonder. 
“Oh!” Robin squealed, darting away from the two of you. “They have thrift stores!”
“Oh boy,” you laughed, you and Nancy shaking your heads at each other as you followed Robin into ‘The City Opera Thrift Shop.’ 
Robin looked like a kid in a candy store as she perused the mish mash of clothing on racks, sorted by size and then color. Robin was not a shopping kind of girl unless you got her into a thrift store. The girl loved nothing more than quirky and cheap. Growing up in a family that had to pinch every penny had taught her to be frugal. You loved her sense of fashion because it was so uniquely her. 
You meandered over to a rack of concert shirts, pushing them back one by one. Band tees were your go-to on weekends and oversized ones made the best pajamas. Used ones already had that soft, worn, washed feeling, leaving you from having to break them in. You pulled out a Black Crowes one, holding it up to yourself and your entire body froze, as if ice water had been dumped over your head, when you caught sight of the shirt that had been hiding behind it. 
A strangled sob lodged in your throat, cutting off your air supply, your hand moving on its own in slow motion. Your fingers gripped the side, running over the black cotton. Your eyes devoured the jagged lettering, like words carved into wood. You knew it intimately because you’d been the one who had drawn it years ago in high school. 
It was from their first tour, four years ago, in 1988. Your eyes slipped closed as you swallowed hard, forcing the sob down, locking it back into the dark box you tried to keep everything that had to do with him trapped in. But the image of him, those big brown eyes pleading with you to understand that he had to go, begging you to come with him, flashed behind your lids and your eyes shot open against the assault to your heart. 
“Hey, are you ready to go?” Robin called from the front of the store, a large bag hanging off of her arm. 
“Uh…yeah…” you cried out, shoving the Black Crowes shirt back in front of the shirt you wished you’d never seen, covering it up the same way you’d covered up everything to do with him. Out of sight, out of mind. At least that was how it was supposed to work.
Who were you kidding? That had never been how it had worked. How could it when he was everywhere you looked? His music videos were all over MTV, he was on every show doing interviews and performances, and forget about going to a store. That face that had haunted you for five years was plastered across every magazine. 
He clearly wasn’t thinking about you. He’d moved on, being pictured with a different woman on his arm every week. Making out with some supermodel at a party, having lunch with the hottest young actress in Hollywood, or catching some groupie’s panties on stage. The man had gotten what he’d always wanted. He was a rockstar, known across the world. He was the guy every woman wanted to fuck. He was the guy every guy wanted to be. He’d gotten out of Hawkins, away from their small minded ignorance, away from you. 
“Hey, you okay?” asked Nancy, her eyes narrowing in concern as you followed them out of the store. 
“Yeah,” you replied, forcing a smile on your face, “I’m good. So, what’s next?”
“More shopping, obviously,” giggled Nancy. “I need to find something for my mom. She’s always wanted to come to New York so I want to get her something very New York but not like the silly tourist stuff, you know? No snowglobes or keychains. I want to find her something cool.”
“Okay, well, then let’s get on it,” you stated, relieved to have a mission to focus your energy on to keep you from slipping down into that dark hole. That dark hole you’d disappeared down for six months after he’d left, that dark hole you swore you wouldn’t allow to swallow you anymore.
You spent the next hour and half in and out of stores, Nancy insisting nothing was right for her mom. You’d pointed out hand painted bags, shirts, paintings of the skyline, but nothing seemed to be right. Just as you were getting ready to give up for now and grab some lunch, Nancy gasped, pointing ahead. 
“The NBC Studios shop!” she squealed. “My mom loves Jay Leno. Her and Dad were so upset when Carson was leaving but they wound up loving Leno. They watch it every single night. I bet I could find her something there.”
She grabbed onto yours and Robin’s hands and dragged you through the doors of the shop before instantly abandoning you to peruse all the merchandise. You looked over at Robin and shrugged, the two of you splitting up to browse yourselves. There was an entire section of merchandise just for popular shows on the channel.
You picked up an X-men mug, thinking Dustin would love it but you quickly put it back. If you bought him something that would be an avalanche of spending you couldn’t stop or afford. You couldn’t get him something without bringing something back for all of them. You’d never hear the end of it from Mike, Lucas, or Max if you got Dustin something and not them. Will would be gracious about it. El would probably be confused as to why she should care. Steve would definitely give you shit, offended, claiming you loved Dustin more than him. 
Just as Nancy walked over, triumphant, with a mug and a shirt, you turned, your attention caught by a cavalcade of dark SUVs pulling up in front of the building. Your two friends spun to see what had caught your eye and Nancy sucked in a sharp breath. 
“Oh…I bet it’s someone famous. Someone who’s going to be on the Tonight Show or something. Who do you think it is?”
You shrugged, “How would I know? I don’t want it. Do either of you know who’s supposed to be on tonight?”
Robin shook her head, “No idea. Nancy, you said your parents watch it every night.”
“They do, but I don’t. I mean, I have here and there when someone I like is going to be on. But I haven’t watched tv all week so I haven’t even seen a preview. I was too busy with wedding plans and getting ready to leave for our trip.”
You watched curiously as a big guy in a suit with an earpiece came around the side of the SUV and pulled the door open. A familiar mop of curly dishwater blond hair appeared first, followed by the sweet face of one of your favorite people in the world. It should have filled you with pleasure to see him again, the guy who’d always treated you like a little sister, but instead a sense of dread seeped into your body. No. It couldn’t be. Because if he was here, then that meant…
You were falling, slipping sideways, as your world tilted on its axis at the sight of him climbing out of the SUV. Those coffee hued eyes were concealed by a large pair of sunglasses but you didn’t need to see them because they were forever imprinted on your brain. He looked so damn good, of course he did. In place of his usual ripped jeans and leather jacket, he wore a fitted brown suit, a white dress shirt unbuttoned just enough to provide you a peek of his chest.
“Oh shit,” muttered Robin. 
“Hey…hey…” Nancy called out next to you, her hand holding your bicep in a vice grip, as if she were scared you’d collapse which was a very real possibility at this moment. “Hey, you okay?”
You couldn’t answer. You had no air. Your throat tightened, your lungs were paralyzed, unable to pull in precious oxygen. You were trapped, suffocating under the weight of memories, memories you’d buried deep but that now broke free, flashing before your mind like a slideshow of pain. Eddie winking at you from the stage at the Hideout, him leaning against your locker after class, lying in the back of his van sharing a joint, sitting on his bed as he worked on a new song, dancing at prom, the day he left…image after image attacked you, a knife slicing into you over and over, leaving you bleeding and helpless. 
“I…no…I can’t…” you whimpered, shaking your head, taking small steps backwards as if you could run from him, as if he wasn’t about to come through the exact entrance you would need to escape. 
“Hey, calm down. It’s okay,” Nancy urged but her words fell on deaf ears. 
You were drowning, everything muffled, the lights were too bright. You couldn’t breathe. Your hands clawed at the neck of your shirt, a v-neck, which was in no way hindering anything but it felt like it. Your clothes felt restricting, too tight, caging you in. 
One of the large men pushed open the door as two others flanked Eddie, leading him through it. Gareth, Jeff, and Grant came behind him, each with their own bodyguards. Jesus, there must have been twelve guys with them, covering them on all sides, the front, and the back, ensuring no one was getting close to them. That was fine. There wasn’t anything you wanted less.
As they passed in front of the gift shop’s floor to ceiling windows, you took two more steps back, bumping into a mannequin, sending it crashing to the floor along with a display of drinking glasses. A clerk glared over at you with a sigh, coming over to assess the damage. But that wasn’t what you were focusing on as Eddie’s head turned toward the sound. He stilled, pulling the sunglasses off his face, and there was those eyes, going wide as he took in the sight of you standing in the middle of the shop. 
“Shit…no…no, no, no, no…” you pleaded, eyes darting from one side to the other, desperately seeking a way out of this situation but there was none unless you were willing to run past him.
“It’s okay, just breathe. It’s okay.” Nancy’s hands rubbed over your arms, attempting to soothe but only succeeding in making you even more agitated. 
You shrugged her off as Eddie leaned into one of his bodyguards, whispering something in his ear. You were frozen, your feet stuck to the floor as the burly guy nodded and followed Eddie, pulling the door open. Suddenly the man you’d only seen in pictures and on television for the last five years was standing in front of you and you wished the Earth would open up and swallow you whole. 
“Princess? Robin? Nancy? What are you three doing in New York?” Eddie asked, his sunglasses held between his thumb and forefinger, his eyes never leaving yours. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, as if you were a mirage. 
“Girl’s weekend before my wedding,” answered Nancy when you hadn’t responded. 
“Wedding?” Eddie’s eyebrows lifted, but still he didn’t look at her, his eyes glued on you as if you would disappear if he looked away. “You and Jonathan?”
“Yeah. He popped the question last Christmas,” she replied. “So, how’s the rockstar life?”
“Huh? Oh…uh, you know.” He shrugged. “Very rockstar.” His head tilted, those brown eyes threatening to pull you under, to consume you entirely. You wanted to look away but you couldn’t. “I can’t believe you’re here. I, well, I have to do this Tonight Show thing. It could take a few hours but would you want to come to my hotel after?”
His hotel? Was he serious? There was no way you could trust yourself alone in a room with him. Your body reacted to him, remembered him, his fingertips an imprint on your skin. This man who had known you more intimately than anyone else had in your entire life. This man who had been your first. This man who you’d thought would be your only before he shattered your heart. 
Robin’s hand wrapped around yours, sensing the distress your body was under as Nancy stepped in front of you. Your friends who had been there, who had witnessed that dark time in your life, who had been the ones to pull you back from the edge just as you were ready to plummet into the abyss. 
“How about you give us the information and let her think about it?” Nancy offered.
“Princess?” Eddie asked, concerned, his face peering around Nancy to find you again but this time you looked away. “Look, I just want to talk. I haven’t seen you in…god, it’s been…”
“Five years,” you mumbled, shocked at the sound of your own voice. 
“I know,” he said softly. “Trust me. I know exactly how long it’s been. Look, if you tell me where you’re staying, I can have my driver pick you up. Or if you’d prefer, I can come to you. Just tell me your hotel and room number and I can come over after. I can bring dinner or we can order something or we can go out somewhere if that would make you more comfortable.”
“Look, Eddie,” Robin began, stepping into him, forcing him to step back. “She’s a bit overwhelmed at seeing you. I’m sure you can understand that.”
“I can because I feel exactly the same. I just want to talk.”
“Well, maybe she does and maybe she doesn’t but maybe you need to take a step back and give her some time to process all of this,” Nancy suggested calmly. “Give us your information and she can have a couple hours to decide what she wants to do.”
But you knew what you wanted. Of course you knew. There hadn’t been a choice from the moment you’d seen Gareth, knowing Eddie was not far behind. Seeing the man you’d been hopelessly in love with years after he left left you in a flurry of mixed emotions. You were both overjoyed to see that face you’d adored so much and overcome with old memories and thoughts of what could have been if he’d never left. A tug-of-war between the past and the present, battling for your heart with such force you feared it would rip in two. 
Yet, even with all the conflict inside you, there was never any doubt of what you would do if given the choice. Wasn’t this the exact kind of situation you’d fantasized about endless times? Running into him, him missing you, him telling you that you’d always been the only one for him, that he still loved you.
“Room 1562 at The Mayfair,” you said, all three heads turning to look at you as you inhaled deeply and brought your eyes back to his face. “And you can bring food. That’s fine.”
“I’ll see you in a few hours then,” Eddie said, giving you that smile that swept your feet out from under you every damn time. “I can’t wait. Thank you, princess.”
Blinking back tears, you walked past him, past his slack jawed bandmates, ignoring Gareth when he called out to you, and out of the building. You weren’t trying to be bitchy but you had to get out of there. If you didn’t get some fresh air to your brain, you were going to pass out. Stopping on the sidewalk, you gulped in precious oxygen, wondering what in the hell you’d just gotten yourself into.
The door flew open, your two best friends flying out and running over to your side. Nancy’s hand came to your back. Robin’s arm locked around yours, the two of them guiding you away from the building, understanding that you needed distance. 
“Holy shit…holy shit…” Robin gasped. “I cannot believe that just happened. Are you okay?”
“I had no idea. I am so sorry,” Nancy crooned, her hand making soothing circles over your back. “Who would have thought of all the weekends in the year, the one we chose to come to New York, Eddie would be here?”
“Not me,” you managed, a nervous giggle, frantic and squeaky exploding from you. 
“Honey, are you sure you want to do this?” Nancy questioned. 
“Yeah. If you’re rethinking this, we can go get our stuff and check out right now. We can switch hotels. He’ll never know where to find us,” Robin told you. “You don’t have to see him if you don’t want to.”
“No…no…I do,” you assured them, slowly coming down from the very near panic attack you’d just experienced. “I do. I want to see him. I want to talk to him. It’s okay. It’s going to be hard. It’s going to be painful but maybe it will also be good.”
“Good? Do you remember how you were after he left? Because we do,” Robin commented, one eyebrow lifting. “You don’t have to subject yourself to that again.”
“I know. I know. But he’s not a bad guy. He didn’t try to hurt me. He had an amazing opportunity and he couldn’t pass it up. And I am happy for him. Really, I am. It sucked but he’s not the bad guy. There is no bad guy in this story. It was an impossible situation. I’ll be okay. I was just taken by surprise. It was unexpected but I am expecting him to show up later so it will be fine.” Her two friends eyebrows lifted, eyes narrowed, lips pursed. “Seriously, it will be fine.”
____________________________________________________________
It wasn’t fine. Nothing about this was fine. You paced across the floor of your hotel room as you’d been doing for the last hour. You had no idea when he was arriving. How long did a taping for The Tonight Show take? Why would you know that? You had no experience in the world of celebrity. Maybe he wasn’t coming at all. Maybe he’d thought about it and realized that he didn’t need to waste his time seeing you. He had gorgeous women throwing themselves at him all the time. Why would he sacrifice an evening with a supermodel to hang out with his average ex-girlfriend from small town Hawkins?
This was ridiculous. Why had you agreed to this? What good was seeing him going to do? Just the sight of the man had brought on a panic attack, a shirt with his band’s name had sent you spiraling down the rabbit hole of sadness. Didn’t you know this? How many times had you lost track of time, disappearing into memories when you’d spotted his face on a magazine cover at the store? 
No, you definitely should not have given him your hotel information. You should have said it was nice to see him, good luck with his appearance, and then left. Polite but keeping everything casual. You hadn’t been anything to him for five years. Five years was a long time. He’d obviously moved on. What did it say about you that you hadn’t?
Sure, you’d dated. You had that thing with Dylan that lasted for a year but it ended eight months ago when he confronted you, demanding to know if you were in love with him and you couldn’t give him the answer he wanted. You wanted to be in love with him. You wanted to be able to give someone else your heart fully but it had never belonged to you. It wasn’t yours to give. Your heart was currently touring the world and maybe it was time you got it back. Maybe that was what this meeting would do for you. You could finally sever that string, take back what was yours so you could move on and give it to someone else. 
A sharp knock on your door paused your thoughts, your feet skidding to a stop on the carpet. Your entire body responded to the possibility of Eddie on the other side of that door, heart racing, lungs rushing, the hair on your arms raising. Closing your eyes, you took in a slow inhale through your nose and then calmly walked over, opening it. 
“Oh!” you shrieked in surprise to find one of the large bodyguards standing on the other side. He pushed past you and began looking around the room, checking in closets, under the bed, and in the bathroom.
Eddie shrugged, smiling sheepishly at you, “Sorry about this. They’re very serious about my safety.”
The bodyguard appeared content that nothing was lurking in your room to attack his charge. He gave Eddie a small nod, saying, “Jack and I will be right outside the door.”
“How about just down the hall, man?” Eddie suggested. “A little privacy, maybe?”
The big man did not appear happy about it but he nodded, “Just down the hall. We’ve given very strict instructions that no one is to be allowed onto this floor until you leave, unless they are being escorted by James. He’s down in the lobby.”
“Got it. I feel very safe,” Eddie assured him, closing the door behind him. He turned to you, eyes rolling, hooking his thumb toward the door. “These guys are so fucking annoying but management insists. I had a stalker situation last year and ever since then, I’ve gone nowhere without Mr. Tall and Surly.”
“You had a stalker?” you asked, a weight weighing heavy in your stomach at the thought of him being in any danger. 
Eddie shook his head with a snort, wild brown waves tossing around as he began unpacking a large brown bag onto the table, “It was nothing. Seriously. Some twenty year old who had convinced herself that we were destined to be or something. She sent notes and flowers. It was all harmless at first until she managed to figure out where we were staying and I got back late one night to her hiding in my closet.” He chuckled darkly, opening containers, the smell of Italian food permeating the room. “Scared the shit out of me, let me tell you. But she didn’t have any weapons or anything. She wasn’t trying to hurt me. She just wanted to convince me we were soulmates. Hotel security showed up and escorted her out. Poor thing was clearly struggling with some kind of mental illness. I tried to convince CJ, our manager, that it wasn’t a big deal but ever since then he’s been adamant that we have a security detail.”
“Well, better safe than sorry,” you sighed, moving over to sit across from him at the table as he took a seat. “I mean, stalker situations can be very scary. You’re lucky she wasn’t out to hurt you.”
“I guess.” He held up a container of chicken alfredo. “This still your favorite?”
“Uh…yeah,” you nodded, smiling as he scooped down on your plate, along with garlic bread. “Thanks.”
“Well, I was trying to figure out what to grab and then I remembered how much you love Italian food. You always picked Enzo’s for your birthday dinner. You still go there every year?”
“No. I don’t. This past birthday, I actually went out of town for my dinner to a new Thai place in Indy. Dylan didn’t really like…” You stopped, pressing your lips together. Shit. Why had you mentioned Dylan? And no, you hadn’t stepped foot in Enzo’s in five years. That had been your and Eddie’s place. You couldn’t stand the thought of going in there without him.
“Dylan?” asked Eddie, not missing a beat. He sat up, leaning back in his chair, legs spreading wide, those ring clad fingers running over his thighs as he looked at you. “Is he your boyfriend?”
“He was.”
“Was? What happened?”
You swallowed hard. This was not a topic you wanted to be discussing with him. But you’d been the one to open the flood gates, to stick your big old foot in your mouth.
“We broke up,” you replied with a shrug. “It wasn’t really going anywhere, you know? He was nice. I liked him. But he asked me if I was in love with him and I just…I couldn’t lie. So, he ended it. It was probably for the best anyway.” You needed to change the subject before he had you admitting things you did not want. “So, anyway, who cares about me? I’m still living the same boring life in Hawkins. I want to know about you, the big rockstar.”
Eddie flushed, those cheeks turning bright ride as he grabbed onto his hair, bringing it across his mouth. Your heart tugged, remembering how he did this when he was embarrassed or uncomfortable. 
“It’s not as amazing as it sounds. I mean, it is. I love playing music for a living. I love being in the recording studio, working through the kinks with the guys, that moment when we finally get it right. There is nothing like standing on that stage, a sea of people screaming for you, singing your songs back at you. That part is…there really are no words. But the rest of it, all the interviews, the photo shoots, the required appearances at different functions, that’s just all the extra shit that I have to do to keep management happy. Sleeping in a different town every night gets exhausting. Sometimes I really do lay back at night and dream of my simple life back in Hawkins…sometimes I dream about that last night, laying next to you under the stars. I’ve missed you, princess.”
You swallowed, emotion threatening to choke you at his words, “Eddie…”
“What?”
“Don’t, okay? Please don’t.”
“Don’t what? Tell you that I miss you?”
“I can’t do this,” you whispered, closing your eyes and shaking your head, tears building up behind your eyelids. “I can’t. You have no idea. You have no idea what it was like for me when you left. You have no idea how hard it was.”
“But I do know how hard it was,” he argued, reaching for your hand but you pulled it back quickly. “I know exactly how hard it was because it was hard for me too.”
“Really? It was hard for you,” you challenged, eyes opening to glare at him. “It must have been really hard to have those models suctioned to your lips, to have your hand up the skirt of beautiful actresses you were dining with, to be sleeping with a different girl every night. I saw all the photos, Eddie. Your epic love life has graced the pages of many magazines.”
His eyes widened, nostrils flaring, “Yeah, okay? I’ve had a pretty healthy sex life since I left. I was a goddamn mess for a while. I was burying myself in other women because I was trying to forget you.”
“Well, good for you. I’m glad that worked for you! Because nothing ever worked for me!” you cried, jumping up so hard you knocked the chair back.
“It didn’t work for me! And how can you be so pissed off at me? I begged you to come with me and you refused. Do you really hate me for chasing after my dream? You knew I wanted to play music when we started dating. You knew I would go for it if I could.”
“No. I don’t hate you. Fuck, I wish I could hate you because it would make things so much easier but I can’t. You didn’t do anything wrong. I can’t fault you for chasing your dreams. And look at the life you have now. I’m proud of you, Eddie. I really am, but I…I never thought I would recover when you left.”
“Neither did I but I begged you, princess! I begged you to come with me!”
“I know you did but what would that have even looked like, Eddie? What? Me waiting in hotel rooms while you trekked from place to place? Me becoming the third wheel that was dragging you down because your focus wasn’t solely on the band? I couldn’t be that person. I couldn’t become someone you resented because I was standing in the way of you getting what you wanted. And obviously you’ve gotten it. You’ve moved on! Good for you. I can’t. I’m still stuck in that town where memories of you assault me on a daily basis. I can’t get away from you!”
“You think I’ve moved on?” he demanded, rising from his chair. 
“You obviously have. I’ve seen the evidence. I know about you and that starlet. It’s been five years. Of course you moved on. You have this exciting life, traveling all over, meeting all kinds of people. You should have moved on but then you don’t get to come in here and give me those damn eyes and tell me you’ve missed me. That’s not fair.”
“Not fair?” Eddie’s eyes flashed as he began moving forward, backing you up with each step until he was so close you could feel his breath fanning your face. “Moved on? Princess, I have never moved on. You crawled inside me. You’re in my blood, my fucking skin. No matter how many women I’ve fucked, I never moved on. You want to talk about not fair. Not fair is your face haunting me everytime I’m fucking someone else, wishing it was you beneath me. Not fair is you suddenly being in my town, finally within reach, and you telling me I don’t get to tell you how much I’ve missed you. Not fair is how badly I want to bury myself inside you right now even knowing it will destroy me because it will have been worth it.”
You sucked in a sharp breath, stepping back again, the backs of your knees hitting the bed and sending you toppling onto your back on the mattress. Those brown eyes darkened with lust, the only warning you had before he was on top of you, fists on either side of your head, gazing down at you with such desire that you were sure to drown in it. 
“This is a bad idea,” you managed to choke out, knowing his words were true. Allowing him to consume you would mean the end of you but you didn’t have the strength to stop it because you wanted this. Jesus, you wanted this so badly. 
“Yeah, it probably is,” he rasped, ducking his head down, his nose trailing over your cheek and down along your neck, inhaling the scent of you, sending shivers racing down your spine and straight between your thighs. “But I don’t fucking care. Let me have you, princess, even if it's only for one night.”
“Yes…”
You barely had the word out before his lips were on yours, devouring you like a man starved. Your lungs expanded as if this kiss were breathing life back into you. Your heart jumped, responding, coming back from being dormant for so long the moment his lips touched yours. Your soul pulled, reaching for him, recognizing in him the thing it had been missing for too long. 
“I’ve missed you,” he growled, teeth pulling at your bottom lip before his tongue slid past and over yours. You met it, the two reacquainting themselves, dancing to a tune you both remembered the steps to as if it had just been yesterday. 
A large hand slid along the outer edge of your thigh, up your dress, cool metal pressing into your skin as he gripped your ass through your panties and you whimpered at the feel of those hands on you again. His lips moved, exploring every inch of your face and neck, leaving no part of you untouched. 
“You smell so damn good,” he whispered, tongue snaking along the column of your throat. “Taste good too.”
Your body shuddered. His other hand grabbed onto the strap of your dress, dragging it down your shoulder and arm until the cool air hit your exposed breast. 
“Fuck, no bra, baby? Was that just for me?”
You could not formulate words as his mouth latched onto your nipple, sucking hard. His tongue lazily swirled, lavishing it with attention as he ground his erection down into you, fingers digging into your ass, pulling you as close as possible. His teeth raked over the tender bud and you cried out, back arching, pressing yourself against his face. 
“You like that, baby?” he crooned, doing it again, grinning when he got the exact reaction he wanted. “Feel good?”
“Yes, Eddie,” you whined, your hands grabbing at his leather jacket. He pulled back just long enough to pull it off and your fingers latched onto the hem of his shirt before he could stop you, needing to feel his skin. You sat up, his thighs straddling your, lifting it over his head and tossing it to the floor. 
Your eyes greedily ran over every inch of him, your fingers tracing the familiar tattoos inked over his skin before moving to the unfamiliar ones. He sighed at your touch, his eyes fluttering closed, his body exhaling as if in relief. There was a dragon running over his ribcage and a familiar guitar on his arm. Fuck, he was beautiful. He was still your Eddie, a bit more toned, but still lean and pale and just as perfect as you remembered. 
You pressed your lips against the black widow on his chest. Eddie moaned, one hand cradling the back of your head as your mouth explored his chest just as he’d explored yours. You teased one nipple and then the other, nibbling, enjoying the hiss of pleasure that escaped between his clenched teeth. And then you paused, your head snapping back, tears burning your eyes when you caught sight of the small black letters just to the left of the demon head he’d gotten when you were juniors. Your fingers reached out hesitantly, running over the letters.
“Is this…?” you breathed.
He glanced down, a soft smile curving his lips as he took your fingers, pressing a kiss to them, “Yeah. It’s a copy of the carving I put in that tree of our initials senior year.”
“But why? Why would you get that when we weren’t even together anymore?”
“Because,” Eddie began, those hands coming down on the mattress, leaning into you, forcing you to lie back as his mouth scorched your skin, trailing over your collarbone. “My heart is yours. It always has been. It doesn’t matter how far apart we are or if we’re together, it’s always been with you, sweetheart.” His hand slid under your dress again, palming your pussy over your panties and he hissed. “Fuck…your panties are already so wet. Is that all for me? Did she miss me?”
“So fucking much,” you whined, rolling your hips toward his hand, needing to feel his fingers on you, inside you. It had been so long and only Eddie knew how to bring you to earth shattering orgasm. No man since had made your toes curl the way he did.
Eddie’s nose ran over your hair, his tongue tracing the shell of your ear. His hand slid under your panties as he stretched out next to you, fingers slipping through your slick to find your aching clit. Your body bucked and you keened, arching as his thumb brushed over your clit. Small circles teased the sensitive little bud as two thick fingers pressed into you, your body immediately pulsing around them. 
“Mmm…she remembers,” he breathed against your ear, pulling your earlobe between his teeth. “She knows who she belongs to.”
“Fuck,” you whimpered, his words sending shockwaves of pleasure rocking through your body, your hips rolling to meet the pumping of his fingers. 
His fingers began scissoring, spreading you, preparing you for him just the way he used to. The pleasure coursing through you was like your own sweet little oasis. You had opened the door to a world you’d long hidden from yourself and any stress or worry about what this meant, what happened after this, disappeared. Eddie, his fingers, his words, his body, was all that mattered in this moment. 
He curled his fingers within you, hitting that spot that only he had ever found, that spot that had you seeing stars, that had you hurtling through the universe toward a never ending void. You screeched, eyes rolling back and then closing, chest heaving with every single gasp of air, knowing you weren’t going to be able to hold on much longer. 
A strong grip on your chin turned your head toward Eddie, “Open your eyes for me, beautiful. I’ve waited far too long for this. I want to see you lose control.”
It was a struggle, your body fighting back against you as it thrashed around in the waves of the storm that was your approaching orgasm. You finally opened your eyes, finding those brown ones that reminded you so much of perfectly melted chocolate staring into yours with such intensity that your stomach coiled even more. 
“You’re close, aren’t you, princess?” he asked with certainty. “I can feel it. Come on, baby. Let go for me.”
You screamed his name as your body trembled violently, your back arching, that knot in your stomach loosening. And then he was dragging your underwear down your legs, pushing his own pants and boxers past his hips. His lips were on yours and your hand slid between you, fisting his cock and the groan he released sent a whole new shock of pleasure through you. 
“Fuck baby, yes…” he moaned, his forehead rolling over yours. “Feels so good…missed you…missed your touch.”
His tongue slid into your mouth once again as you worked him in your hand and then teased him, guiding his cock through your slick, up and down. Each time the head of it bumped over your clit, you whimpered, the sound swallowed into his mouth. 
“Love when you use me to get off,” he growled. “Need to be inside you, sweetheart. You still on the pill?”
“Y…y…yes…” you stammered.
The word was barely out of your mouth before he thrust into you, pressing until his pelvis was flush with yours. You groaned simultaneously at the feel of your bodies connecting once again. Your pussy fluttered around him, as if welcoming him home, everything feeling as it should be for the first time in far too long.
“Jesus, baby, you feel so fucking good. So fucking good,” grunted Eddie, his body still, nose bumping over yours and you blinked when something wet fell onto your eye. Looking up, you saw he was crying and your heart squeezed as if in a vice. 
Your hand cupped his cheek, thumb brushing over the drop, collecting it. He smiled softly, pressing his lips to yours as he began to move his hips slowly, rutting within you each time until he was bottomed out. His arms came around your back, crushing you against him, melding your two bodies until no inch of you was untouched by him.
“Eddie, I’ve missed this. I’ve missed you…” you breathed, fingers moving into his hair, your foreheads stamped together as he thrust into you as if he were trying to climb into your body.
“Me too, baby. Me too. This is how it’s supposed to be. You’re mine. You were always meant to be mine.” His mouth fell on your neck, biting and sucking, marking you. “Tell me you’re mine.”
“I’m yours…yours…” you cried, feeling as you climbed toward release once again. 
“And I’m yours. I’ve always been yours. Just yours.” He growled, his fingertips digging into the flesh of your upper shoulders. “I’m gonna, princess. Cum with me, baby.”
It wasn’t a choice. You were barely hanging on by a thread. He buried himself deep within you, his body stilling as he cried out your name, his cock twitched, filling you with his release. Your head pressed into the pillow, legs locking around him, joining him in sweet ecstasy as you peaked once again. 
Eddie shuddered above you and then collapsed against you, his face buried against your neck. Your fingers toyed with his hair, tears burning your eyes. Fuck, you were going to pay for this. How long would you bury yourself in that miserable dark hole this time after you inevitably parted, after he headed off to be a rockstar again?
“Jesus H. Christ, princess…that was fucking amazing,” he sighed, nuzzling against your neck. “I love you.”
Your entire body stilled, completely rigid at his words. That vice around your heart tightened, threatening to crush it into a million pieces. No. You’d never recover from this. The sex would have been hard enough to get past but those words…this was too much. Silent tears slid down your cheeks. 
“Hey, hey,” Eddie soothed, his mouth pressing where the tears were. “Why the tears, princess? Why are you sad?”
“I can’t…I can’t do this,” you mumbled, attempting to sit up but his arms came around, pulling you back down to the bed, cradling you against his body. Tender kisses pressed against your forehead and you sunk into the safety and comfort of him, knowing it wouldn’t last. 
“Can’t do what?”
“What are we doing? You’re just going to leave again and I am going to have to try to get over you again. And I didn’t do a great job the first time. Why do you think I wasn’t in love with Dylan? Because I’ve never been able to get over you!”
“Baby, I never got over you either. I tried. And yes, I do have to leave again. That’s my job. But come with me.” His fingers brushed your hair back from your face, his eyes begging you the same they did five years ago. “Come on tour with me. You belong with me. I know it and so do you. Don’t make me have to live without you anymore.”
“Eddie, I don’t want to be in the way.”
“You won’t. You were worried the band wouldn’t take off if you were there distracting me but the band’s already taken off. The guys have missed you too. They would love to have you come along. Gareth’s got a girl and she travels with us. Nobody cares. Besides…” he grinned, teasing your neck with kisses, “you are the best kind of distraction.”
“I…I mean…”
“You mean what? I’ve been miserable without you. Are you telling me you haven’t been miserable without me?”
“No. I have,” you admitted. 
“Then come with me. Be with me. Let’s be happy.”
He was right. All of the reasons you’d had five years ago to not go on tour with them were mute at this point. Corroded Coffin was the most popular band in the world. You weren’t going to stop them from becoming big because they were already big. You tried picturing it, traveling the world with Eddie, seeing and experiencing things you never had before, sleeping next to him every night, getting to watch him on stage again. And you realized, you wanted it. You wanted it badly. 
“Okay.”
“Okay?” His eyes lit up. “You’re going to come on the road with me?”
“Yes. I’m so tired of trying to be happy without you. I just want you. You’re what makes me happy.”
“Oh sweetheart, I am going to make you happy every day for the rest of forever, starting now,” he grinned, and then his lips were traveling down your body and your head was humming with bliss.

forbidden fruit
or Swiss takes Aeon out to the orchard for an impromptu date.
heavily inspired by this post by @crimsonclergy (I have been thinking about that post nonstop for a month and a half lmao)
Contains they/them for Aeon, t4t ghouls (dick, folds, and pussy used to describe what Aeon's working with), outdoor sex, and just 3.6k of two ghouls being sappy as shit for each other (seriously, it got way sappier than I intended)
Tumblr media
Aeon stumbles into the kitchen well into the morning, the sun almost at its zenith. Their mismatched eyes are heavy with sleep, their stomach growling. Swiss is already there, leaning back against the counter in his sleep clothes, a black tanktop and a pair of sweats that sit low on his hips, exposing the softness of his stomach, the trail of coarse dark hair leading down. The sight makes Aeon's heart flutter like a trapped rabbit's, mouth watering a little.
"Morning, stickbug. What's on your docket today?" Swiss asks, hands wrapped around a mug of something steaming that smells of coffee and cinnamon.
"Morning," Aeon stretches, groaning and eyelids fluttering as they grab a granola bar, one of the batch that Mountain made with dried fruit and chunks of dark chocolate. "Polishing the silver in the chapel," they say, garbled through a mouthful. "Boring."
Swiss hums thoughtfully, taking a long drink from his mug. Aeon watches unashamedly as his throat works when he swallows. "How do you feel about playing hooky, then?"
"Play hickey?" Aeon makes a questioning noise, finishing chewing. "I've never heard that before," they say, raising an eyebrow at the turn of phrase. "Explain that one to me?"
"Not hickey, bug, hooky," Swiss grins, and it's as bright as the first time Aeon saw the sun. "Though I wouldn't be opposed to that." He leans forward, mug set down on the counter next to him. "It means skipping chores to go do something a little more fun," he says easily. "I'm supposed to sweep and mop, but really, think about it. The silver gets polished and the floors get mopped every day. It'll be fine if we skip out for one day."
Aeon hums, swallowing the last of the granola bar. "You sure we won't get in trouble?" They ask.
"Bug," Swiss hums, setting one of his giant hands on their shoulder. "If you were scheduled for a shift in the infirmary, or kitchen duty, or practice, or something that needs to get done, I wouldn't have asked. Besides," he says with another bright grin, "If Papa actually gets angry for us skipping one day's worth of chores, I'll just tell him we were honoring the Old One with the sin of sloth."
Aeon laughs, leaning into Swiss's touch. "You can sweet talk your way out of anything, I swear."
Swiss waggles his eyebrows, leaning in and giving Aeon a peck on the lips. "You know it, buggy." Aeon leans into the kiss, tries to deepen it, wants nothing more than to taste the coffee he's been drinking, but Swiss pulls away teasingly. "Meet me in the gardens in, say, half an hour?"
They nod, leaning in for another quick kiss, rubbing their cheek happily against Swiss's stubble before darting back to their room. They change, throwing their pajamas into the ever-growing heap of their laundry (they swear they'll get it done, just not today) and change into a pair of black jeans and an oversized hoodie, one of Swiss's that smells like chai and spices.
The air is cool, a breeze rustling through the autumn leaves, yellow and orange and brown. Aeon meets Swiss outside, the multighoul flicking open and shut his utility knife, the metal making a soft noise as he plays with it. Aeon swallows hard, and Swiss glances up, gold gaze softening as he sees them approach.
"Hey, buggy, I like the hoodie," Swiss grins. Aeon rolls their eyes, even as a soft violet blush grows on their cheeks.
"Hi, Swiss," they say, leaning in for a kiss even though it's been less than an hour since they've seen the multighoul. "What's with the knife?"
"We're gonna need it," he says, his brow furrowing as Aeon's expression turns a little apprehensive. "I'm not planning on using it on you, not gonna shank my precious little quint in the gardens," he laughs.
Swiss tucks his utility knife into his pocket, reaching out to take Aeon's hand. They take it eagerly, delighted at how their hand seems to vanish in his. Their hand's not small by any means, but Swiss's are giant. He chuffs shakily at the younger ghoul, who leans in, rubbing their cheek against his tshirt, happily repeating the noise as they wind their tails together.
"Why am I still surprised you can chuff and purr?" Aeon asks as Swiss leads them through the gardens, surprisingly empty this time of day. The harvest is soon, and Aeon would imagine the place would be crawling with earth ghouls and Siblings.
Swiss grins, swinging their joined arms as he leads them to the orchards, the apple trees heavy with fruit. "I am a ghoul of many talents, my sweet little stickbug," he croons, taking them deeper and deeper into the rows of trees. "You know I'm a little quintessence too."
Aeon nods, still resting their head on Swiss's shoulder. "It's funny, though, you can do both. I just sound like a choked out squeaky toy if I try to purr."
Swiss laughs, the sound echoing around the empty orchard like the chapel bells. He lets go of Aeon's hand, just long enough to wrap his arm around their waist, squeezing them tight against his side. "My choked out squeaky toy," he laughs, pressing a kiss to Aeon's two toned hair before taking their hand again.
Eventually, Swiss hums, finding a tree he likes. He reaches up, snatching two shiny apples from the lower branches, and sits, back pressed against the trunk. He pats his left thigh, chittering under his breath as Aeon sits next to him. "Come on, buggy, get comfy," he says, coaxing the younger ghoul to lay down, using his thigh as a pillow.
Aeon hums happily, breathing in Swiss's smell, the fresh air, noticing with a twinge in their chest that he encouraged them to lay with their left side closest to him, their damaged eye shaded from the afternoon sun. Swiss ruffles their hair, cooing down at them, before polishing the apples with the hem of his shirt. "This is what we needed the knife for, bug," he says, brandishing the utility knife from his pocket. He selects one of the apples and methodically cuts a slice from the fruit, deft fingers working.
Even though they had eaten breakfast less than an hour before, the crisp sound of Swiss cutting the apple makes their mouth water, and they reach up, making grabby hands for the slice. Swiss clicks his tongue, batting Aeon's hand away. "Let me, bug," he says, feeding them the slice of fruit before cutting one for himself.
Aeon's eyes flutter close as the juice explodes with sweetness on their tongue, moaning softly as they chew, the apple perfectly ripe and crunchy. Swiss grins, trilling happily at Aeon's reaction. "Is it that good, sweetheart?"
"Mhm," Aeon moans affirmatively, nodding eagerly as they swallow, cracking their eyes open just in time to watch Swiss eat his own slice. They can't help themselves, their uninjured eye dilating as they watch Swiss's eyes grow half-lidded, a similar noise escaping his throat as he savors his slice. He cuts another slice off of the apple, pressing it to their lips. Aeon eagerly accepts it, chuffing gratefully as they take the slice from his fingers with their fangs.
Aeon can't take their eyes off of Swiss's hands, watching his deft, strong fingers work, Swiss cast in a gold light from the sun, splitting the apples between them both. "You look really pretty," they whisper, face relaxed and content as they eat. Their tail pads against the ground as they wag it.
"Not as pretty as you," Swiss snorts a laugh, popping another piece of apple into his mouth. "You flatter me, buggy."
"I mean it!" They protest, huffing and crossing their arms over their chest.
Swiss hums as he sets the cores aside, nose scrunching up as he seems to decide something. He licks the flat of his blade slowly, making sure to lock eyes with Aeon, staring up at him. His eyes flutter shut and he moans dramatically, but he's never been able to resist playing it up. He licks the juice off of the other side, smirking down at them as he watches the pupil of their undamaged eye grow, engulfing the violet iris in inky blackness. Aeon whines, hand reaching up to grab his wrist.
"What, buggy?" he asks, still smirking. "Can't put the knife away dirty."
"Swiss," Aeon breathes. Their cheeks flush as they feel their stomach flip, their dick kicking in their boxers. It's odd that a personification of sin itself feels things like shame, but Aeon feels it intensely as they get worked up over a little gesture meant to tease. They turn their face into Swiss's stomach, hiding, breathing in his scent. They're sure Swiss can smell them too, blackberry and ozone and need.
"Oh, buggy," Swiss coos, ruffling their hair. "Did I get you all worked up?"
"Yeah," they admit, muffled by the softness of his stomach.
"Hey, sweetheart, can you look at me?" Swiss asks, voice low as he bends down to get closer to them. Aeon whines, but rolls back onto their back to meet his eye. "There's my buggy," he says, trailing gentle fingers along their jaw, down their throat, tracing over a mostly-healed bite mark on the edge between patches of grey and lavender skin at the crook of their neck.
"Hi," they whisper, shivering as Swiss touches the bitemark. "Sorry I'm being needy. I've been Up Top for a while, I should be able to be in control of myself by now."
"Hi," Swiss snorts, leaning down further and kissing them sweetly. They both taste of apples. "Don't apologize for that, bug. I like how easily I can get you worked up. It's hot."
"Did you plan on this when you asked me to 'play hooky?'" Aeon asks, making air quotes. Their tail reaches over, wrapping itself around Swiss's shin.
Swiss shrugs, hand trailing up to cup Aeon's cheek. "Nah, just wanted to spend a nice afternoon with my sweetheart. But I'm more than happy to help you out with that little problem. You know me."
Aeon sighs, laughing a little as they nuzzle against Swiss's stomach, feeling his scent grow thicker as he reacts to Aeon's own. They sigh again, starting to clamber upright.
Swiss grabs their arm, gold eyes wide and scent tinged with distress. "Hey, hey, buggy, where you going?"
"Back to the Abbey? To one of our rooms?" They question, a surprised noise yanked from them as Swiss pulls them back down into his lap.
"What's wrong with out here?" Swiss teases, watching Aeon's good eye dilate further.
"People could see?" They whine, but it's really not convincing.
"No one's out here, bug," Swiss says, brushing their hair off of their forehead, pushing it behind a horn. "How about since it was my tongue that got you all worked up, I give it to you?"
Aeon bites their lip to stifle a moan, nodding eagerly, and Swiss laughs, sitting up and helping them rearrange until their back is pressed against the tree, Swiss laying on his stomach between their legs.
He unties Aeon's sneakers, setting them aside and pressing a kiss to their bare ankle. Swiss prowls closer, eyes dark and hungry, his big hands settling on the waistband of Aeon's jeans. "You want these off, baby?" he asks, voice low.
Aeon nods, throat working as they find their words. "Yes, please," they say, lifting their hips and helping Swiss pull their jeans and boxers down.
Swiss hums, shrugging before shucking his shirt, folding it and setting it under Aeon's ass as a makeshift pillow. "So chivalrous," Aeon giggles, honestly distracted by the miles of warm skin on display, covered in coarse, dark hair and only interrupted by the well-healed scars under his pecs. Aeon wants nothing more than to cuddle up with him, nuzzle against his chest, but then their dick throbs and they remember what exactly they're doing.
"Nothing but the best for my buggy," Swiss grins, locking eyes with them as he lays back down on his stomach.
Aeon whines, throwing their head back and wincing as they bonk their head on the tree behind them, and Swiss's hungry gaze turns worried. "Shit, 'm fine," Aeon laughs, blushing even deeper, rubbing the back of their head.
Swiss smiles warmly, grabbing their other hand and rubbing his thumb over their knuckles, leaning down and kissing the pudge of their stomach. "Don't want to have to take you to the infirmary, bug," he whispers. "You know Aether'll tear us a new one if he finds out we're shirking responsibilities."
Aeon snorts, stomach muscles tensing as Swiss kisses a ticklish spot. "Aether's told me all about the times he and Dew skipped out to go make out in some closet somewhere."
Swiss grins, trailing kisses down the line of Aeon's stomach, getting closer and closer to where Aeon's scent is the strongest, the dark curls there already damp and shining with slick. He scrapes his stubble against the sensitive skin inside of their thigh. "Sounds like the two of them, honestly," Swiss hums, burying his nose in the crease between Aeon's hip and thigh, taking a deep breath and groaning as their scent floods his senses. "Fuck, buggy, you smell so good."
They whine, reaching down and threading their fingers through Swiss's braids, not pulling or tugging, just grabbing on. "Shit, please, please don't make me wait," they beg.
"Of course, bug," Swiss whispers, locking eyes with them before licking a stripe up their folds the exact same way he licked his knife clean.
Aeon lets out a strangled little moan, fingers tightening in Swiss's hair as their eyes flutter shut on their own accord. "Fuck!" they yelp, hips jolting forward.
"Easy, baby," Swiss hums, groaning as their taste floods his mouth, stronger and sweeter than the apples they had shared. "Let me make you feel good."
Aeon nods, not easing the death grip they had in his hair. "Fuck, please," they whisper, trying to make eye contact with him, but Swiss's gaze is so attentive and hungry they have to look away.
He lowers his mouth down to Aeon's dick, jutting proudly from their folds. He sucks the nub gently between his teeth, fingers dimpling the softness of their thighs. Aeon's breath stutters, feeling more slick pool out from them.
"Gonna ruin your shirt," they huff, fingers moving from Swiss's hair to wrap around his horns, guiding him to where they need him. They yelp as his mustache scrapes against their sensitive folds, eyes rolling back into their head.
Swiss pulls off with a laugh, turning and nipping a little mark into their inner thigh, soothing it with his hot tongue. "You're not going to ruin it," he assures them. "I want it to smell like you."
Something deep in Aeon's stomach flutters, and they groan unashamedly. "Oh, fuck," they whisper. He chuckles and licks through their folds again, eyes flashing with delight as it draws another strangled noise from their throat.
Swiss laps at them like a man starved, like he hadn't just eaten, like he wanted to drown himself in Aeon's essence. Aeon tightens their grip around his horns, holding him against them as they lean back, groaning as their head makes contact with the tree again.
"Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck," they chant as Swiss moans against them, his eyes fluttering shut as he devours them. "Suck on it, please suck on it Swiss." They tug on his horns, drawing a moan from the multighoul's throat. He moves up obediently, desperate to please them, and wraps his lips around their dick.
"Shit, right there," they whine, hips jolting up as he laves his tongue over the sensitive nub. "Don't stop, Swiss, please don't stop."
And he doesn't, he keeps suckling and licking, eyelashes fluttering as he moans around them. "Fuck, buggy, you taste so fucking good," he groans, letting go of one of their thighs as he pants for breath. Something in Aeon's chest does a flip when they see just how shiny the lower half of his face is, slick coating his mustache and chin. "How do you feel about inside, sweetheart?"
Aeon swallows hard, nodding so enthusiastically they hit their head on the tree again, but they're so giddy it only draws a laugh from them. "Can I have your fingers, too? Couldn't stop watching them while you cut the fruit for us."
Swiss grins, fangs flashing bright in the afternoon sunlight, dappled through the leaves like Aeon's skin. "Anything for my squeaky toy," Swiss teases, laughing brightly as Aeon shoves at his forehead.
"Shut up," they whine, but they're grinning too. True to Swiss's newest nickname for them, Aeon lets out a strangled noise as he pushes his ring and middle finger inside of them, petting at their inner walls.
"That's it, bug, just feel it," he whispers, kissing their stomach again. They whine, yelping as he presses firmly against the spongy spot just behind their dick, drawing little circles there with the pads of his fingers.
"Fuck!" Aeon wails, legs falling open wider. They don't care if their voice carries, if someone hears them. It's too good, the pleasure rising in their body like the tides. "Swiss!"
"That's it, sweetheart," Swiss coos, licking his lips before kissing their dick, fingers working inside of them. "Taking it so good, such a good ghoul for me," he says, kissing the swollen nub into his mouth, rubbing his tongue over the head as Aeon wails.
Aeon pants and wails, chest heaving as Swiss's hoodie suddenly becomes too hot, even in the cool autumn air. They reluctantly release Swiss's horns, shoving his hoodie off over their head. They curse as it gets tangled against their horns, laughing as they finally get it off, leaving them in just a black binder. Once they get the hoodie off, they look down, realizing just how fondly Swiss is looking up at them.
"What're you looking at?" They try to tease, but their voice hitches as Swiss sucks a little harder at their dick.
Swiss pulls back, smiling warmly as he licks the slick from his lips. "I'm just looking at my buggy, thinkin' about how much I love hearing them laugh. Hearing them happy."
"You're a fucking sap," they whine, crossing their arms over their chest petulantly, turning away from him.
"I mean it," he says, the most sincere Aeon's ever heard him, thrusting his fingers slowly into their heat. "You don't know how happy it makes me to see you happy."
They huff a little laugh, reaching down and pulling him up to kiss him. It's heated, but not dirty, sweet and Aeon tries to put every ounce of their affection and gratitude into it. They moan loud into his lips as they taste themself on him. "Fuck, please make me cum, Swiss," they beg, and Swiss laughs, voice ringing like a bell, and even if Aeon were sent back to the Pit tomorrow, the noise would make them happy for the rest of their existence.
"Of course, bug," he coos, waggling his eyebrows as he dives back between their legs. He watches their expression as he doubles his efforts, drowning himself in them.
Aeon squeals, hands darting back down to his horns, to his hair, anything they can to hold on as the pleasure rocks through their body. "Fuck!" they shout, only the whites of their eyes visible.
Swiss groans into them, the vibration rattling something deep in their core. Aeon shouts, back arching as they hold his mouth against them, nearly gushing like a water ghoul when they cum. Swiss mumbles something unintelligible, clever tongue and fingers working them through it, drinking them down as they squeeze around him.
When their body stops shaking, their sensitive dick twitching against Swiss's tongue, Aeon pushes Swiss off of them. Normally, they like the overstimulation, how eager Swiss is to draw their pleasure out until they're screaming, but they're sated. "Fuck," they giggle, Swiss staring up at them with an almost goofy expression.
Aeon catches their breath, reaching for Swiss. "Lemme get you off now," they pant, and Swiss laughs again. He shuffles up, straddling their thighs as he presses his forehead against theirs.
"Bug," he says, voice full of so much love Aeon can almost taste it. His cheeks are warm, and Aeon takes a breath through their nose. Under the heavy scent of their own slick, they can smell.. shame? Not a lot, not overwhelming, but it's so odd to smell it coming from Swiss that their brow furrows, and they bring their hands up to cup his damp cheeks.
"Swiss? You okay?" They ask, genuinely worried.
Swiss laughs, eyes crinkling as he smiles. "I'm good, bug, but I don't need you to reciprocate. Came in my damn pants like a teenager."
Aeon's eyes widen in surprise and delight. "Shit," they giggle, kissing him again. "Pussy so good it made you cum in your pants."
Swiss pulls back, laughing. "We really need to get you off of the internet," he teases, wiping his face on his arm. Aeon rolls their eyes, but laughs along with him.
"Come here and cuddle me," they whine, making grabby hands at him.
He grins, laying down next to them and pulling them halfway onto his chest as they chuff happily, rubbing their face on his pecs. "Anything for my little squeaky toy."
Aeon smacks him playfully, and their combined laughter carries through the orchard, sweet like apples.

How can you love me? Chapter 1 (part two.): Should I regret it?
Pairing: Noah Sebastian x !OFC
Warnings!: Drinking, Swearing, let me know if I need to add more!
Dividers by: @saradika-graphics
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Part 1.
Noah and Adriana both rockstar's, both caring, both don't really believe in love.
They met as children in a park in Richmond, since Noah helped Adriana with a scrape on her knee that day, they'd been inseparable. Even though they do live together and have known each other for almost 20 years they've never even had the thought of being each others other, being their partner, loving each other unconditionally, except as friends of course. Even though they were each others first everything, first friend, first kiss, first time, first home, they would never admit their love for each other because it would ruin their friendship, and especially not now that Adriana is not looking for love and, Noah is in love with his girlfriend Chelsea, right?
Will they let each other break their glass houses or will they stay eternally quiet?
Tumblr media
May 13 2020. Noah's POV. (scene from last chapter.)
"Yeah sure but, I could try to get here before dinner so we can all eat togeth-"
"Noah." I cut him off
"Yeah?"
"Shut up and go visit your girlfriend."
"Ok"
Tumblr media
I was driving to Chelsea's place while listening to music and thinking 'finally gonna see her, I can just picture her on her knees suc-'
Ring ring ring.
"hello?"
"Hi baby, how are you?" Chelsea said in an almost whisper tone
"Oh hi babe, um I'm good, just driving to your place."
"Okay, do you know how long you're gonna take?" She said in a worrying tone.
"Um maybe in like 5 minutes, baby?" I said wondering why she sounded so worried. "yeah?" She shortly answered. "are you okay?"
"Oh-uh, yeah I'm fine, um Noah I'm gonna have to let you go, I'm getting a call from my mom."
"yeah that's fine, well baby I can't wait to see you and I definitely can't wait for something else." I said insinuating. "Cool, bye babe." Then she hung up on me.
Weird, she would usually respond to the dirty shit I said to her, anyway.
Tumblr media
I knocked on her front door, waiting for her to open it. I don't know what, but something felt off about her, but maybe she could just be in a bad mood. The door swung open revealing Chelsea in a two piece pink silk pajama set, with her hair in a half up half down style. She looked beautiful.
"Hi baby" she said in a soft tone. "Hi" I said leaning in to give her a kiss. "Come in noah." She said as she pulled away, not kissing me.
What the hell is going on with her?
"Noah can we talk?" She said. "Yeah okay." I said worrying about what's to come. we sat down on her couch, she grabbed a pillow putting in up to her chest.
"Noah, I have to tell you something." She said looking at me, I could see the tears forming in her eyes. "Look noah, I love you, but... We need to break up."
"What?" I said whispering.
My heart shattered in that moment, I felt the blood drain from my body, I didn't know whether to cry, ask her why she wanted to, or just leave without saying anything. I opted for the last one.
I got up from the couch and made my way to the door, I hesitated leaving and not asking her why but I decided it was best for me.
"Noah wait!" I heard Chelsea cry after me as I walked to my car.
"Noah I'm sorry, but I have to do this, for you, for me, for us."
I briefly looked at her and told her, "after 2 fucking years there is no us anymore." I got in to my car, trying to keep it all in, and drove, and drove, and drove away, until I stopped in the back of a gas station just to sit there in silence.
Maybe she was over thinking.
Maybe she just was drunk or something.
No. Chelsea can't be over thinking she always knows what she wants, and she can't be drunk, she doesn't drink often.
I decided in my mind that she did actually want to break up, and that's when I thought.
I only have two options.
Either I, break down into tears and tell the one person I can count on, which is adri about this so she can help me, or, I drown my sorrows with alcohol. After little to no thinking I decided the second one would be best.
Tumblr media
Chelsea's POV
What the fuck did I just do?
I just broke up with noah, and I think I'll regret it for the rest of my life well that and the other thing... He was so loving and caring, and especially he was faithful towards me all the time and I had to go fuck it up by doing that.
Tumblr media
At home...
I need tequila. I need to get my mind off of her.
I walked into the house feeling I don't know how many emotions inside of me, I knew I was probably going to get interrogated by the guys right when they saw my eyes, so I had a plan, a simple plan, but a plan, this plan was just walk in get the bottle and walk to my room and lock the door for the rest of the night. I walked into the kitchen expecting it to be empty but there were two people standing there, Adriana and Jesse. I just wanted to avoid them asking anything so I just said.
"If Chelsea calls any of you and asks for me, don't tell her anything. Got it?" I said making my way to get the alcohol. I rushed out of the kitchen and on my way I heard Jesse scream something that I couldn't hear because I was just stuck in my thoughts.
I walked into my room and slammed the door, I immediately just sat on my bed and started drinking. When I was sitting I heard the door open and close softly. Fuck, I didn't lock it.
"Noah what the fuck was that out there?" Adri said slightly suprised, slightly pissed. "Nothing, why?" I said trying to not make the emotions sound. "You want some?" I offered her the tequila.
"No, Noah what happened with Chelsea? Did you guys fight? Or was it something else?"
I decided, fuck it, I'll just tell her. "She broke up with me."
"Noah what do you mean?"
"No, I got to her place and when I said hi to her she asked me if we could talk, when we sat down she just said it, no sugarcoats, she just said, I wanna break up."
"well maybe she was just confused, I mean, you guys have been together for 2 years, that's a lot of commitment and maybe she was just nervous."
Yeah sure, and you're in love with me.
"nah, its fine she's just like any other girl who's dated me, they spend time making me fall in love just so then they can throw me away like some type of garbage."
"Noah, please don't say that, look lets do this, you stop drinking so the hangover isn't as bad in the morning, I will try and call Chelsea tonight and if she doesn't pick up I'll call her tomorrow, and you can get some rest in the meantime ok?" She took the bottle from my hands, and I was about to protest against her but I know she wouldn't stop until she got her way.
"I guess, sure."
Okay, well goodnight Noah I'll tell you if anything happens tomorrow."
Then she kissed my forehead softly, and I muttered a quite thank you, but I wasn't just saying thank you for her helping me with this, I was saying thank you for everything, for the love she's given me since childhood, for all the times she put up with me even when I was being a dick, for all the times she helped me when I wanted to cry, when I needed advice, when I wanted to kill myself, whenever I desperately needed her.
Tumblr media
Noah's POV.
I kinda fucked up.
An hour after Adriana left I went to get more alcohol, I couldn't handle it so by 3AM I was really really fucking drunk. After that point I don't remember anything except me waking up to get water and in my dream I kissed a girl, who was this girl? I have no idea.
Tumblr media
Okay sooooo its out!
This one was shorter just because I wanted to give you guys his POV in the story but the official second chapter will be out soon. And that one will have smut. The next chapter (2) will have more drama filled stuff, remember this is supposed to be a slow burn.

The Stomach Virus
A/N: I was watching the Brits yesterday and I really couldn't have had a better time watching Harry so happy and…drunk. This one-shot has nothing to do with it but it's been in my head for a long time and I've finally managed to finish it, I hope you like it.
Tumblr media
PAIRING: Harry Styles x Reader
WORD COUNT: 3.1k
WARNING: Not an english native speaker. It also mentions vomit, sickness and there is a very bad attempt to make a sexy comment.
SUMMARY: Your daughter (Iris) gets sick when Harry is not at home.
——————————————————————————
You leave the room as quietly as possible, closing the door, but carrying the baby monitor in your hand. Today you had a hard time getting Iris to sleep, she was very agitated and no lullaby or story seemed to put her to sleep. In the end you had to put on your phone a video you had of her father singing her a song. Harry's voice was what finally got her to fall asleep in your arms.  
You walk to your room, leaving the monitor on your bedside table, and start getting ready for bed. Harry texted you an hour ago that he was going to be home very late from his session at the studio, saying that you didn't need to wait up for him as he was going to grab a quick bite to eat with Mitch and Tom (Kid Harpoon). 
After you've done your night routine and pulled the duvet over your head, you take one last look at your phone to see if Harry has texted you and let him know you're going to bed, saying goodnight. You leave your phone on silent on the bedside table and turn to Harry's side of the bed, hoping that when he comes in and gets into bed he'll wake you up a bit so you can kiss him goodnight. 
You don't know how long you've been asleep when Iris's whimpering wakes you up. Opening your eyes, you see that Harry's side is still empty.
"They've really taken the session seriously today," you think to yourself as you get out of bed and walk towards your daughter's room. 
As you open the door to the room, the first thing you notice is the smell of vomit in the room. You walk over to the cot quickly, seeing how Iris seems to have thrown up all over herself.
"Oh, sweetie," you whisper, picking her up in your arms, not caring that the vomit covering her is staining the Harry’s shirt that you're wearing as a pajama. 
You begin to rock her gently in your arms, trying to soothe her whimpering, murmuring comforting things against her sweaty curls. A few minutes later you get her to calm down and rest her head on your chest.
"You're burning up, sweetheart," you say after placing one of your hands on her forehead. "Let's get you cleaned up and get something for your fever and vomiting, you must be feeling awful."
At a year and a half old, Iris has been sick only a few times. You and Harry have always been careful of her to not catch anything. But two days ago the nanny you usually leave her with when you're both too busy called the day after she'd been looking after her to say she'd woken up with a stomach virus, so you'd be on the lookout for any symptoms. 
That same day Harry ran to a pharmacy to get any baby medicine for those kinds of viruses. You almost didn't remember the virus, until now.
You walk carefully down the stairs, Iris clutching your shirt with her fists, and walk towards the kitchen when you see that you have left the light that is in the bathroom next to the kitchen on. As you go to turn off the light you hear a noise from inside the bathroom, you open the door and what you find surprises you.
Harry is crouched on the toilet, his back to you. You are about to call his name to get his attention when you hear him vomit. Quickly, careful not to disturb Iris in your arms, you crouch down beside him and try to catch the strands of hair falling into his eyes with your hand. 
You wait a few seconds until he finishes and drops to one side, leaning against the wall next to the toilet. The sight of him makes your heart shrink a little. His face is shiny with sweat and he has dark circles under his eyes from exhaustion, keeping his eyes closed even when you place your hand on his forehead.
"H, you're burning up."
"I know" he answers in a hoarse voice. "I've been feeling sick all afternoon."
"Why didn't you come home? You look awful."
"I didn't want you to catch it" it's at that moment that he finally opens his eyes to look at you, with your daughter clinging to your t-shirt stained with her vomit.
"Late" you try to smile to lighten the mood." I woke up to her crying and when I went into her room I saw she threw up all over herself, she is running a fever just like you."
"My baby" he pouts "And are you ok?"
"Yes, for the moment I feel fine".
"Good, at least someone is still standing" he smiles and you caress his cheek with your hand, he leans on it.
"Do you want something? Maybe a glass of water?"
"That can be nice, I haven't been able to keep anything down since breakfast, I threw up my lunch." you start to get up but Harry extends his arms towards you." Let me hold our puked up baby while you go get the water."
"I don't know if that's a good idea, she stinks, I wouldn't recommend it" you reply jokingly but Harry doesn't give up. "What if you feel like throwing up again with her in your arms?"
"You're one step away and I can shout...I'm sick and I want a cuddle from my little rainbow, please." he pouts and you sigh before carefully handing him the baby. 
"I'll be right back, just yell if you need anything."
You hurry to the kitchen, filling a glass of water for Harry and opening the medicine cabinet. You quickly look at the notes Harry jotted on the medicine boxes so you know how each one works and grab two of the boxes, one for Iris and one for Harry. You also grab the thermometer and with all that you return to the bathroom, finding Harry still sitting on the floor but now with Iris resting her head on his chest.
"She's really tired but I can't get her to sleep," he says as you sit down next to them, putting everything you've brought on the floor, passing him the glass of water that he drinks before putting it down.
"I brought the syrup you bought for her the other day and these boxes of pills we had, one for the fever and one for the stomach ache and vomiting that are for you," you pass him the boxes with each item as you take the thermometer to put it on Iris, "Let's see how high that fever is".
You place the device on her forehead and leave it there until it beeps and you pull it away.
"She has a temperature of 38.3º.”
"We can give her the syrup now and see if it brings her down, try to put her to sleep."
"Yes, that would be best, but we'd better change her clothes first, she threw up in her cot."
"Oh, my little angel." Harry pulls her closer to his chest. "She must be feeling awfully sick."
"Like you must be feeling, H."
"I'm fine, she's the important thing." You instantly place the thermometer on Harry's head, the boy who sold it to you told you it was also used to measure the temperature of adults. 
Not more than a minute goes by when the thermometer beeps again, indicating his temperature: 39.6º.
"Harry, this is not good," you comment as you show him the number. "You should go and lie down in bed."
"I'm fine, I just want to look after Iris."
"I know, but you literally just threw up, you're burning up, and honestly, you don't look the best, baby."
"Iris, the day has come when my wife, your mother, doesn't find me so handsome anymore." he jokes as he pretends to cry over your baby's sweaty curls.
"Harry, this is serious."
"I know, but...I didn't exactly come during all the day for this, I don't want to burden you with having to take care of me and Iris at the same time."
Just then, your daughter starts to whimper. For a few weeks now, Iris has not been able to sit still for long when she is in her parents' arms, especially if she is sleepy. Harry has been sitting on the bathroom floor with her in his arms for a while now, so it's no wonder she's tired of sitting still. 
"She wants to move, hand me the baby, please." You stand up and Harry hands you Iris, instantly you start rocking her lightly in your arms but being careful not to do it too fast and she might throw up. "Honey, the wedding vows said so, in sickness and in health, I don't mind having to take care of you, it's the deal, if I get sick you take care of me and if you're sick I take care of you."
"But with Iris-"
"With Iris it doesn't matter, I can take care of both of you, H."
He remains silent for a few seconds before answering, he knows you're right even if he doesn't like it.
"You know I love you?"
"I think so, you tell me several times...a day." you reply with a smile. "Come on, let's go upstairs, Iris needs to be changed and you'd better be in bed and not on the bathroom floor."
Harry nods and picks up the meds from the floor and stuffs them into the large front pocket of his sweatshirt. You hold out a hand to help him up but he declines, saying he can get up on his own.
"So you've been sick all day?" you ask as you walk up the stairs, you behind Harry in case he gets dizzy so he doesn't fall.
"No, only after lunch."
"And you weren't planning on telling me anything?"
"I was hoping it would pass, at first I thought I'd been sick from the food, but I remembered Lucy telling us she'd had a 24 hour virus and it all started to add up," he explains as we walk into our room. "I didn't come in earlier in case you guys were okay, so I wouldn't give it to you.
You go to the bathroom in your bedroom and start to take off Iris's clothes, leaving her puke-filled clothes in the laundry basket.
"I'm going to get some spare clothes for her and a clean t-shirt for you, yours are full of puke," Harry says, but you stop him from leaving the bathroom by getting in his way.
"No sir, you're going to hold your little girl while I go get clothes for the three of us, I don't want you to get dizzy in the middle of the hallway, fall and crack your head open, H, you've got a fever of almost 40º, sweetheart."
For a moment it looks like Harry is going to argue with you, but he gives up, you can tell he's tired and the fever isn't helping.
"Hand me Iris," you carefully hand him your baby and he cradles her in his arms. "Hello little sweetie pie, how are you? how are you feeling?"
You leave your daughter and her father in your master bathroom and run to your dressing room. You go to the drawer where Harry keeps his pyjamas and grab a pair of trousers and an old t-shirt that he now wears to bed, you also grab another t-shirt of his to put on yourself and directly swap it for the one you are wearing, leaving the one that is full of vomit in the laundry basket that you also have on the dresser.
You quickly return to Iris's room and grab some clean pyjamas for her as well. Her bed is still stained but you're not worried, Iris will probably sleep in your bed today, you'll clean it up tomorrow. 
You go back to the bathroom and find Harry sitting on the toilet. You walk over to him and squat down in front of him, Iris looks like she has finally fallen asleep in his arms.
"Are you all right?" he nods.
"Yep, while you were gone I gave her the medicine and she fell asleep straight away. "You lay the clothes on the floor and place your hand on his forehead, Harry leans against it, closing his eyes.
"Harry."
"Your hand is cool." he murmurs.
"You're burning up, you need to take something for your fever and go to bed."
"I'm fine."
"You're not," careful not to wake her, you take Iris from her arms. "I've brought you some pyjamas to change into, do you want me to help you?"
"I'm fine," she repeats, "just give me a minute."
He closes his eyes and leans further against the back of the toilet, you sigh and grab Iris's pajamas. With your daughter in your arms you go back to your room and try to get her dressed as quickly as you can. As you do so you keep an eye out for any noise coming from the bathroom.
You quickly finish getting Iris into her pyjamas and, as her cot is still dirty, you decide to leave her in your bed but with several cushions on her sides to prevent her from rolling out of bed while she sleeps. You return to the bathroom to find Harry just as you left him.
"Harry, baby," you call to him and he opens his eyes slightly.
"Hi baby, you look beautiful," he replies with a smile and you can't help but think how flattering he is even at times like this.
"I know you're really tired and the fever is getting to you right now, but I need you to change so we can go to bed."
"But honey, I'm great here."
"Tell that to your neck tomorrow..." you murmur." Come on Harry, make an effort for me."
"Come on, okay...but just cuddles today, I'm too tired for other things, I want to do those things but I'm too tired right now." he straightens up as he smirks. "Maybe tomorrow we could call Gemma and see if she can stay with the little lady and we can spend the afternoon alone mummy and daddy...in bed...or anywhere in the house."
"Whatever you want, H, but now we need to go to sleep." you're going to keep this moment of feverish horny Harry in your memory so you can torment him. "Come on, give me your hands."
Harry holds his arms out to you and you take them, with your help you get him to stand up but you immediately see his face turn completely pale.
"Oh, shit." he mutters before dropping to his knees on the floor.
He barely has time to lift the toilet seat when he begins to vomit. As before, you crouch down next to him, with one hand you try to brush his fringe away from his face while with the other you gently caress his back.
"That's it Harry, that's good," you murmur as he vomits.
"This is horrible," he comments once he stops retching. "How could you put up with this every day when you were pregnant?
"It's not pleasant, but having you by my side most of the time helped."
As before, when he finishes, he sits on the floor of your bathroom.
"When you're ready, you try to get up again, okay?" he nods. 
After a few minutes, Harry gets up again and this time he doesn't feel like throwing up. He takes off the hoodie and t-shirt he was wearing and you quickly slip on his pyjama top, then do the same with his trousers.
While he finishes putting on his pyjamas you take the two boxes of pills that are still in the pocket of his hoodie, pulling out of each box one and passing both pills to Harry.
"Take it," you say and he takes them from your hand.
You fill a glass next to the sink and fill it with water to give it to him as well. He takes the pills and you internally pray that taking the water won't make him vomit again.
" Shall we go to bed? I just want to sleep," he murmurs and you nod, but before you can turn towards the bathroom door he hugs you. "Thank you for taking care of me.
"H, I love you, taking care of you is something I want to do, you're never a burden, my love."
"I love you." You pull apart and he pouts. "Kissy?"
"You're sick, you want to pass it to me?"
"No no, I don't want to, I'm sorry." but he's so cute that you can't resist and you stand on tiptoe so you can kiss him softly and slowly.
Instantly he runs one of his hands around your waist, pulling you closer to him, and you can't help but smile against his lips. Soon after, he stops kissing you, but he doesn't take his hand off your waist.
"Let's go to bed," he says, but without pulling away from you. "I'm tired and I want to sleep, I want to cuddle."
"Come on," you reply, leaving a kiss on his cheek, "but I wanted to ask you something first."
"Yeah, sure."
"While you were sick in the studio, were Tom and Mitch there?"
"Yes, why?"
"And they were looking after you?"
"Yeah, and if I'm honest with you, they looked like nurses instead of musicians, more than once they wanted to call you or call the doctor but I told them not to." Harry laughs wearily and you smile. "Also, watching Mitch with a mop and a bucket of water in the middle of the studio cleaning up my vomit was something I never thought I'd see.
"You have to tell me more... but tomorrow, we have to go to sleep now."
"Yes, please."
You both walk to your bed, Iris is still asleep just as you left her in the middle. Neither of you move her, she is so peaceful, and you simply climb into bed each on one side. Once inside and covered with the duvet you turn to face each other, with Iris in the middle.
"I love you," you whisper and Harry nods slightly. 
It doesn't take Harry more than a couple of minutes to fall asleep but you stay awake a little longer watching the love of your life and your daughter sleep peacefully. You might wake up tomorrow with the same virus as them from watching over them, but you would do it again and again for them.

Ten 'Once Daniel has returned to Trinity Gate' headcanons that no one asked for:
Trinity Gate is a matching Christmas pajamas household. You know you're truly considered a member of the family when you get a pair. Lestat eventually gets his in silk but the same design. Armand, once they've at least opened a dialogue because Marius is also important to Daniel, sends some to Marius and invites him because he's still family and they're trying to sort themselves out.
They don't always spend the day together. Daniel can get overstimulated and Louis is still an introvert, so sometimes they like to have their own space. Armand is the exception - given the choice, he never sleeps on his own. He knows he'll wake first and loves to be curled into someone else's arms. It helps remind him that whatever he dreamt, he's not alone anymore.
Armand braves the intense scents of Lush so Louis can have his variety of candles that aren't as artificial as the Bath & Bodyworks ones. Louis rarely buys them for himself, but when Armand notices he's low on one or feeling down, he likes to give them to him.
Daniel cannot figure out what to get people for their first holiday together until he decides on animal adoption and experience. It ends up being a hell of a family day out: Armand's red panda hangs off his arm and sticks out his tongue, much to his lovers delight. Sybelle is very excited to throw the bloody meat to her new lion friend and Benji laughs himself stupid as the Penguin fusses around him, curious about their companion for the evening. Louis reads to his giant turtle and for a while, everything becomes turtles for him: sweaters, candles, blankets, books, documentaries. Daniel ends up feeling pretty proud of his first attempt to do a 'family' gift.
The first time Daniel really struggles with the noises and intensity of New York, Louis pulls him into his room - a lot more muted than his own or Armand's by his own request - and lets him lay with the curtains on the four-poster Armand insisted drawn and reads aloud to give him something to focus on so he doesn't spiral. It marks a turning point in their individual relationship, that even if it's not inherently romantic, they do very clearly love each other and it's both their homes.
Louis is the first one to split his time between France and Trinity Gate. They all end up doing it just because they don't like being apart for that long and Lestat, being Lestat, also shows up at Trinity Gate half the time during the periods they make it back there. It's unofficial, this Lestat shaped addition to their ongoing relationship, because no one really talks about it. Daniel breaks the stalemate because this is the third time they've come back to TG and tried to squeeze into Armand's giant bed with him and he just says, "I think I've lost track of who's in a relationship and who isn't." Diagrams are drawn.
Daniel and Armand still get into early morning debates from time to time, much to the annoyance of anyone else who's decided Armand's bed is fair game save perhaps for Louis. It ranges from 'do souls exist' to 'is toby the Scranton strangler'. Louis got sucked into the one about whether Jessica Fletcher is a serial killer and had some very strong opinions on the matter.
Daniel manages to surprise everyone over breakfast by asking if he's dead. Louis informs him that yes, he's a vampire without looking up from his book but Daniel clarifies he means that he means in terms of his mortal identity, he has no idea if he's dead or not. Does he have a grave? Did he have a funeral? There's no way Armand wouldn't know, this is right up his friendly neighbourhood stalker street.
Louis walks in on what can only described as simulated oral sex, apologises and asks if he's left his book in there and retrieves it. He does ask later why two vampires would be interested in doing that, but Daniel says it's psychosomatic, Armand in his mouth, his hand scratching through his hair, it still makes him tremble all over and it works as foreplay before drinking. This leads to Louis trying it, but without the memories of doing it as a source of orgasmic pleasure as a mortal together, it doesn't really have the same effect. It's worth it to see Lestat's response when he asks to try it with him; deer in horny headlights is a good look for him.
Armand develops a deep seated love of the fake monster houses that pop up all over. He even decides to volunteer for one, having a great deal of fun playing a monster for the night in a way that makes some people run and others laugh. "You can take the vampire out of the theatre," Louis says, but he at least approves of raising money for charity. He's trying to move past seeing himself as damned, as a monster, but acknowledges Armand's relationship with being seen as one is far more complicated than his own and wants to support his endeavours.

Family don't end in blood - Chapter 5
Tumblr media
Summary: The reader spends her first night at the Ackles house restless. Between battling her own demons and helping one of the kids overcome their fear, she overhears a conversation that strikes her deep down and she begins questioning some things.
Pairings: Jensen Ackles x foster!daughter reader
Word count: 3,500 and some change
You woke up with a gasp, sitting up in bed. You looked around, grasping the surroundings, remembering where you were. Then, you dropped back to bed, clutching your pillow and taking a deep breath as you let the tears quietly roll down your cheeks.
You looked to your left. The view through the window showing off its beautiful Texas sky, full of stars. Trees were moving lightly, creating a light breeze you could feel brushing on your skin as the window was open. You couldn't go back to bed. Not after what you've seen. So you decided to take in the calmness the night brought you.
You were always a night owl. All your high school you'd stay up late doing work. You had gotten used to being in school from seven to two, which left you with a short nap and an afternoon and night full of work and occasional fun. You had no other choice but to adapt to the schedule you had to meet. Now, you were trying not to fall back with the sleep schedule. With three little kids that had strict and early bedtimes left you with a few extra hours of free time before you would wind down.
But winding down tonight, you knew what waited for you. You knew you were going to have a nightmare. And no playing and giggling and hugs you got from the youngest Ackles could make you tired enough to comatose yourself and not have a bad dream. It seemed to you that your brain was never tired, no matter how much your body was. You'd wake up in agony, sweat dripping from your forehead, your pajama soaked in it, the blanket either discarded on the floor or twisted and turned into a pretzel, with nothing but your pillow that you clung onto, and the blankie that you feared to tear apart as it was your comfort and you couldn't fall asleep without it.
You sat on the window sill, tightly holding your pillow and your nose buried in your blankie. Taking in the breeze, the silence, you sighed and thought of what a day today, well, now yesterday had been. You couldn't help but smile as you thought of the youngest Ackles. You have known Zeppelin for less than 24 hours, but you already love him as if he's your brother. You loved the innocence in his eyes and voice. The way he giggles and smiles. His soul is pure. Like his sisters' are. You hoped they never lose that kind of innocence. It may not help them live in this world, but there was something about innocent people that said just how much good they are. You smiled sadly as you realized that this has always been your dream. To be a big sister. To have siblings. To have a complete family. You hoped that one day you could have a family of your own, and give your children everything you wished to have. You had all the toys and all the money in this world, but you didn't have love and care from people you called family. Your entire life they've been buying your love and your entire life you hated it.
You were broken out of your thoughts when you heard a thud from upstairs. Your heart picked up fast beat and your breathing raced as memories of the nightmare flooded back and infected your mind. You were out of the room you were in before you knew it, running up the stairs and finding the room above the one you slept in.
Zeppelin's room.
Danneel had beat you to it. You peeked into the room, seeing her swaying Zeppelin in her arms and you couldn't hear a thing, but you could guess he was crying, as you could see glassy eyes glow in the dark. The way he was quiet amazed you. And reminded you of yourself.
You felt a hand on your shoulder, knowing it was Jensen. That didn't stop you from flinching. You looked down for a second, wiping tears you forgot to wipe beforehand before you looked back up at him. He just smiled tiredly at you and nod you to enter the room.
"What happened?" Jensen whispered, Danneel turning around to look at you both,
"Zepp had a nightmare and fell out of the bed," Danneel sighed, Zeppelin hiccuping as he sucked on his thumb, a little blankie tightly held in his fist,
"Does anything hurt buddy?" he shook his head, "No? You're just not feeling okay, huh? The nightmare was scary?" you asked, carding a hand through his hair. He whined, "That's okay big guy. It's okay," you smiled softly. Zeppelin's face left the crook of Danneel's neck and his eyes looked up to you. His free arm extended to you and his tiny fist opened and closed slowly, as if asking you to take him. You shared a look with Jensen and Danneel who had honest, but tired smiles on their faces,
"You wanna be with Y/N?" Jensen asked and Zeppelin nod,
"Y/N has to sleep, and so do you. You can be with her when you wake up," Danneel tried,
"It's okay," you whispered, "I can keep him company."
"Honey, you need sleep," Danneel frowned, looking at Jensen, "You don't have to-"
"I want to," you smiled, nodding, "Trust me. I'd love to keep him company."
"Okay then," Jensen sighed, "I'll go get your stuff from the guest room. Zepp's bed is big enough for you both."
"Looks like you're gonna have a sleepover with Y/N tonight," Danneel said. Zeppelin nod even so slightly, seeing a small smile appear on his face made you smile too. You reached out and took Zeppelin from Danneel. The little boy immediately cuddled into you, hiding his face in the crook of your neck. You swayed back and forth as you made a few short steps towards his bed.
You sat down on the bed, laying Zeppelin down. He curled up on his side, his eyes never leaving you. Jensen showed up with your stuff and you thanked him and Danneel. They went back to their room, leaving you with Zeppelin.
You tucked him in real tight. The way he curled up told you a thing or two about being cold. A nightmare could cool you down, you didn't doubt it could do the same to someone else. As soon as he was nice tucked in, you laid down to face him, tucking yourself before speaking up,
"Did you have a bad dream and fell off the bed?" Zeppelin nod shyly, "That's okay. Do you wanna talk about it?"
"Twas a big monster," he whispered, "A-And it took daddy and mommy and J and Ro and-and you."
"Oh bubba," you frowned, "Nobody took your mom and dad, nor your siblings, nor me. We're all safe," you frowned, your heart swelling as he mentioned you, "Did you know that your daddy fights monsters?"
"I-I thought he plays dress-up with uncle Jared and uncle Mish," he said. You smiled softly at the boy and the innocence in his voice,
"Yeah, and I play with 'em too. But we're fighting monsters as well. It's kinda cool. But your daddy, he's the best at it. He's amazing and he will always protect you and your family. Don't forget that. So, next time you see a monster in your dream, you wake up and try to remember that if one showed up and tried to take any of you, your daddy will protect you and keep you safe."
"C-Can he fight r-real big and scary monsters too?"
"Mhm," you nod, smiling at the yawn little boy let out, "Bubba, you're tired. How about I keep an eye out for monsters and you go to sleep."
"Okay," he said, teary eyes looking you with so much adoration, "Night night Y/N. Love ya," he breathed, curling up closer to you. You smiled as he did so, hugging him gently and kissing the top of his head,
"Night night, big guy. I love you too."
Your eyes didn't give in to the tiredness. You were sure you wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. But you were fine with it. You had time to think, be alone with your thoughts.
You couldn't understand what is it that made this boy feel so comfortable around you. You were a broken shell. You faked a smile real good. You couldn't put your finger on one thing that could be a trait to a four year old. But you were good for something, and you loved him too. It might be too early to say it, but you've always loved little kids. Their lives are so simple and their view of the world is just as simple. You admired them for finding joy in little things and most importantly, for the heart full of love they carried and gave to everyone.
You were brought back from the claws of the nightmare by a soft voice calling you. You jumped up in bed, the memories of where you are flooding back. You looked down to see Zepp with a worried face that reminded you a little too much of his dad. He was looking at you with sad eyes and was contemplating if he should say anything.
"Sorry buddy. I woke you up," you sighed, hugging him,
"You have nightmares too," he murmured, wrapping his tiny arms around your neck and bringing you down, "I thought only I have them."
"No buddy. Everyone has nightmares," you said, "I'm really sorry for waking you up. Do you want me to go back to the other room so you can sleep some and then we can hang out when you wake up?" you offered, not having heart to keep the kid up and worried. But you felt his head shake in a negative answer from where he'd rested it in your neck and a part of you was glad he didn't say yes.
You needed company. Even if it was a four year old child.
"Okay big guy. I'll stay." you sighed, Zeppelin smiling as he looked up to you, "Let's lay back down."
As you laid down, Zepp turned to face you, his blankie in his hands,
"What's your nightmares about?"
"They're about a monster too," you said with a sad smile, "Not like the monsters you dream of, a lot different than them. But it's scary all the same."
"S'okay," he shrugged his shoulders, "No matter how scary, daddy will fight it. Right?" you smiled softly at his innocence and nod, "He gonna fight for you too," he smiled widely and you couldn't help but smile back, "We gonna be fine. Daddy will protect us."
"He will protect you, yes," you agreed,
"No. Both of us!" Zeppelin exclaimed, "I don't want his help if he don't help you."
"You're the sweetest boy I've ever met," you said, kissing his forehead, "But I don't think that's the way it works. But thank you for the kind words buddy. I think we should go back to sleep now, okay?" Zeppelin nod, cuddling up next to you, "Night night big guy."
"Night night Y/N."
You decided to stay away when you woke up, since the girls and Danneel had a girls day and Jensen obviously wanted some time with his boy. You were just fine with doing your schoolwork in the room you slept in. That's until Jensen knocked on the door and entered the room after you hummed,
"Hey kiddo," he smiled, "Can I come in?"
"It's your house," you smiled as you labeled the page you were at, "Yeah. You can come in. What's up?"
"I wanted to talk to you," he sighed as he sat down on the bed, "I was just talking to Zeppelin. He said you kept him nightmare free."
"I tried my best," you smiled, "He's such a gentle and loving soul. I hope he stays like that forever."
"I hope so too," Jensen smiled, "He's very honest and he's also very curious and open. He told me that you had a nightmare last night. Is that true?"
"I'm sorry for waking him up. I offered to go back to this room but he didn't let me. The kid literally clung to me like a koala. I couldn't break his little, loving heart. I'm really sorry. I won't-"
"Hey hey, stop with the apologies," Jensen tried, "I'm not here to get apologies. I'm here to talk about whatever is going on in your nightmares."
"I... I don't wanna talk about it."
"Are you sure?" Jensen asked, "Sorry, that might have sounded like a demand. I'm not making you to tell me what's going on. It's okay if you don't want to. I understand. Zepp told me you were very upset and crying. I'm the one who's sorry. I forgot."
"Jensen, there's nothing to apologize for. You are not responsible for me, nobody is but myself. So, I have nightmares, I deal with them. You're not entitled to do anything for me so you don't have to apologize for missing your wife and children. It's okay."
"I'm not entitled to help you but I very much want to help you and I have been helping you with it but I forgot and you suffered. I really am sorry. We gotta think of something. You should be getting extra sleep these few days, not be sleep deprived."
"Jensen, I told you it's fine. Let it go. It doesn't matter if I sleep or not. This has been going on for longer than you have known me so I know how to deal with it."
"You deal with it in the way that you don't deal with it. You just ignore it. I'm sure talking will help. You don't have to talk to me if you don't have to, of course. But to talk to anyone. It could help."
"Nobody is able to take the nightmares away, know what their subject is or not. What's the point in sharing it then?"
"The point is to let other people help. You're right. We can't take them away from you. But we can talk to you, we can work on the roots thst cause the nightmares and try to get it solved."
"You can't fix me, Jensen," you snapped,
"I can't fix you. The only person to fix you is yourself. But everyone needs someone by their side and you are just a human like everyone else. We all need to be dependent on someone, want it or not. Yeah, people have succeeded on their own, but kiddo, you shouldn't be struggling alone. And when you fix yourself, it won't be the same it was before. There will still be cracks and they will remind you sometimes of the pain you went through, but sometimes they'll remind you of how far you've come and how strong and fierce you are. You'll grow bigger, stronger, you'll live a life and you will grow as a person. You'll grow but those cracks and holes will still be there, sometimes to be painful, but often to remind you of how far you've come. That's the whole point kiddo. I don't know what's the shit brewing in your head, but I could listen if you ever decide to share some of it with me."
"Whatever," you grumbled, rolling your eyes, "Go, be with Zepp. I have work to do."
"I don't wanna force you on anything," Jensen sighed as he stood up, "But if you ever need me, you to come up to me and just ask. I'll be right there where you need me, any time of the day or night."
You didn't respond to what he said. Instead, you opened the book you were reading and you waited for Jensen to leave. As soon as the door closed, you closed the book with a huff.
Why does he care so much about something so broken, so beyond repair? Why does he want to help me? What have I ever done to deserve any of this?
You shook your head as the questions began to drown your thoughts and opened the book again, focusing back on the reading.
When you went out of the room to find Zeppelin and greet the girls, you passed by one of many rooms, where Jensen and Danneel were talking. You didn't pay attention to it until you heard your name as you walked by,
"How's Y/N doing?" Danneel asked Jensen. You stopped, leaning against the wall and trying your best to listen,
"She's... I don't know. Zepp told me she had a nightmare last night."
"Oh no," you swore you heard sadness in her voice, "She must have had a rough life, huh?"
"I... I'd tell you everything, but I promised her not to tell anyone. Not even Jared and Mish. I'm sorry sweetie."
"It's okay honey," she said, kissing his forehead, "You don't need to apologize for keeping a promise. She will open up on her own, I'm sure of it. Till then, I'll try to help in any way I can. Is the nightmare thing frequent?"
"Yeah," Jensen breathed, "She's had them ever since we met. Soon enough we learned that I help with 'em. I share the bed with her back in Vancouver. She has none when I'm around I guess."
"You're such a sweetheart. You love her all the same like the little ones."
"She grew to me since day one. Hope you'll see how amazing she is too someday."
"Oh I've seen plenty already. She's a wonderful girl. Never have I ever seen a teenager wanting and willing to play with a toddler. And meeting him right where he needs her to, knowing boundaries and all. She's really sweet and shy. She'll come over it soon enough, I'm sure of it. But have you guys discussed what to do with the nightmares as of now?"
"Well I wanted to but she pushed me off. Maybe I screwed up. What if she's mad at me? Fuck, I must have pushed her buttons and-"
"Honey, don't go panicking on me," Danneel tried, "She's got her own pace and way. She knows she can always come to get you and I don't mind. Let her be. She'll come around sometime."
"I hope she will," Jensen whispered, "She doesn't deserve a single ounce of what she's been through. It's not fair. And I don't even know much. I know one hundredth of it all. One thousandth of it, and it's already not fair. There's so many things she's having on her shoulders and carrying it with a smile. People and life broke her. It hurts to see a young child bear so many weight on her shoulders. And I can't help her in any way."
"You can and you are. By loving her and caring about her. You're doing your best, sweetie. And I bet my head that, when she comes around and asks for help, you'll be right there to support her. Am I right?" Jensen nod, "I'm so proud of you sweet boy. Things like this make me fall in love with you all over again. So don't ever doubt yourself and what you do. Know I'll always support you."
"Thanks," he smiled softly, "Shall we get the kids and some snacks, watch a movie?"
"Sounds like a plan," Danneel said.
You made a few long steps down the hallway when you heard the conversation topic shift and you found yourself back in the room you slept in.
You closed the door and leaned yourself against it.
What did you just witness?
What did you just hear?
You were at loss of words. You literally didn't know what to think. Your mind was blank. All the voices gone, muted.
Why does he care? Why do they both care? How come that one random family cares more than your blood family? Is this a trick?
This had to be a trick, you thought. You were gonna get tricked again. You pressed your lips together, trying to control your anger. Of course this was a trick. Why would they care about you? You weren't worth it. You don't deserve a single ounce of care. You're a fucking grown-up. Only person to care about you is you. You and you only. Even you didn't want to care about yourself. You didn't give a flying fuck about yourself. You knew you didn't deserve it.
Then why the fuck would they care about you, about what you feel, about what you've been through? It made absolutely zero fucking sense.
Why are you even bothered by all this?
I'm getting attached.
You swore internally, running a hand through your short hair. You walked over to the window sill, breathing some fresh air. You heard the door open and Zeppelin spoke up,
"Y/N, we watchin' frozen. Wanna join us?"
"Yeah," you breathed as you turned around, getting a hold of Zeppelin's hand he extended for you to take, letting him lead the way.
Your demons could wait.

Anyone have En from Dorohedoro thots? I'm feeling him tonight 👀
I have this specific scenario in my head where Darling's a magic user who spent their entire life in the Hole, an experiment by another sorceror to give a baby a large boost of power. They wound up getting caught up in a fight with some of their rivals and the kid got abandoned in the Hole to cover up what had happened, so they just grew up on their own.
But by circumstance, they wind up falling through a door and are in the realm of sorcerors. En can tell they've got some kind of power, and a LOT of it. But he doesn't know if it can help him with his plans to look into the past, since they don't even know how to use their ability. Maybe it can go back in time, but since they're a novice it's only a day or so at most. If he can't get Nikaido back, he needs them as a backup and he'll train them himself if need be.
It's oddly amusing how they're so clueless to the society of sorcerors. They're so fascinated by everything, and so terrified of their fellow magic users; he does enjoy how they warm up to him and the others in his group like Noi and Shin. They're the only ones they can rely on for safety.
Much like Kikurage, he spoils them and treats them like a doll to dress and take with him as he pleases. He even has a painting commissioned of him with his crew, with Kikurage in his lap and Darling right next to him. At first he lets them have their own place to sleep in the mansion, but eventually he informs them that they're going to be moved into his room.
He'll sit with them at dinner and gift them with a new accessory: a ruby and diamond speckled ring, shaped like a toadstool mushroom. He wants them to wear it every day from now on as a reminder of how happy he is to have found them. He'll slip it on their finger, but to their discomfort he doesn't let go of their hand. When they try to pull away a bit, he frowns and takes it again. They...they know what he's trying to say, don't they? The ring, moving them into his room...shouldn't it be obvious?
He'll get up and take a sip of wine before kissing them, holding them in place in case they try to pull away again. If they try to reject him, he reminds them of how much he's done for them. How much he needs then, and not just for their power anymore. And how without him, there's nobody in this world they know and can trust to take care of them. Noi and Shin and the others, they all work for him, after all.
He'll happily escort them to bed after dinner and reveal another present he got them: a silk and lace nightgown, conspicuously the same colors as his own favorite pair of pajamas. They can try it on after a bath together.
The whole time he can tell Darling's trying not to cry or protest as much, and it hurts him a bit. Why don't they want him? He's done so much for them, and the two of them have become so close ever since he took them in. But he tries to be gentle to ease their worries, even if he's dreamt of fucking them into his mattress with enough force to break the headboard. This is just their first night together like this, after all.
Once they're in bed with their new nightgown, he stares and drinks in how lovely they look for a moment. He slips his mask off to kiss them again and hears them whimper as he moves his hands to their thighs to play with them under their clothing. His voice is low. "Don't be afraid, dear. I'll be gentle tonight."

Black Bulls Month 2023 Prompt #2: Winter
Pairing: Magna x Luck
"Mags wake up!"
The sound of Luck's voice combined with the feeling of his hands gently shaking him woke Magna up. The room they now share was cold in contrast to the warm comforter that covered his body. The fire mage attempted to roll away from his partner before speaking up, voice heavy with sleep.
"It's too early to fight"
"Come on Magna wake up!"
One grey eye opened making eye contact with blue, "What?"
"It's snowing outside!"
Magna groaned as he sat up, arms spread in a stretch to shake off the residual sleep. When he looked out the window there was, in fact, snow falling. There was also one other detail he noticed.
"Really man? The sun isn't even up yet!"
Luck laughed at the fire mages outburst. " So? There's plenty of moonlight. Let's go fight in the snow!"
"No way, man. I'm going back to bed. Try again when it's actually daylight." Magna curled back into bed and pulled the covers over himself.
Zzt!
"Ahh!" Magna yelped as he fell off the bed and landed on the cold hard floor. "That's it if you wanna get your ass kicked that bad then fine!"
"Hahaha, hope you're prepared to lose!" Luck cheerfully responded. Lightning Magic already surrounded his legs as he zipped out the window.
Focused on the task at hand, Magna ran out of their room and outside to meet his partner on the snow covered training ground. Snow melted around his bare feet due to the warm mana that enveloped him. He made it to the training field and noticed that Luck was nowhere to be seen. That he must be hiding somewhere in the trees.
Pulling a fire bat from his grimoire, he held a fire ball out in preparation for Luck's attack. He was waiting for the feeling of static that came from his partner's mana whenever he was about to strike. But the feeling never came.
Luck, of course, knowing that was what the hot head was doing had decided to change things up. Nothing was more fun than keeping Magna on his toes. As he moved from tree to tree, he suppressed his mana and grabbed handfuls of the freshly fallen snow as he passed until he finally settled on a good spot to prepare to make his move.
He observed Magna closely while he got ready. Aside from still being in his pajamas, he noticed the way each breath was visible in the cold, the patches of earth that surrounded his bare feet from the snow melting. He also noticed the flakes that were falling were melting off his partners exposed arms, which created a light shine on his muscles. Clearly, the fire mage had the advantage in this terrain.
It was time to make his move.
Using lightning to propel his shot, he threw two oversized snowballs, one behind the other. Magna must have sensed his mana because almost immediately he tossed the fireball he had been holding and hit it right in Lucks direction.
The first snowball made contact, creating a blast of steam that melted the second. Having to improvise since the second ball didn't make its mark. Luck zipped across the training field through the steam cloud and tackled his partner into the ground. They rolled around in the snow for a moment before Magna finally caught hold of the lightning mages' wrist and shifted his weight so he was right on top him.
"Hah! I got you now!" Magna was triumphant in his expression. His burning palms squeezed Luck's wrist for emphasis as he pinned him. They were both breathing heavy, noses barely touching, pink dusted their cheeks. It was unclear to them how long they stayed in that position staring at each other. Luck was the one who moved first, closing the gap between them in a short and sweet kiss.
"A-ah" Magna’s face went from pink to red at the sudden action. They've kissed before, but never outside where anyone could see them. The shock of his partners action caused him to loosen his grip on him. The extra wiggle room was just enough for Luck to shift his body weight to flip them. The air leaving their lungs in the process.
"Haha I win this time Magna!" He laughed breathlessly, a smile plastered on his face
"H-hey, that's a dirty trick! I definitely won before you pulled that stunt!"
"Oh yeah?" Luck leaned over him and closed the gap again. This time, he was a little bit more aggressive with the kiss, licking the others' lips for entry. Tongues pushing each other for control of the kiss before they both parted for air.
"Fuck. Okay okay you win." Magna murmured, facing away from the lightning mage. Luck just chucked at his partners flustered expression. The laugh made Magna's chest warm with affection, so he turned his head back to face Luck.
His blonde hair was covered in snow, his skin red and lips blue from the cold. He was shivering on top of him, but in spite of all that, he still had that beautiful warm smile. The smile he used when it was just the two of them.
"You dummy you're freezing. Let me up so we can go warm you up."
"At least I remembered to put shoes on. Who's the dummy now?" Luck laughed as he picked himself up off of Magna.
"I have fire magic snow doesn't freeze my skin!"
"WHO THE FUCK IS YELLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!" A voice bellowed from inside that could only have come from their fearless Captain.
The boys stood there for a moment, trying to contain their laughter. They were so dead if Yami found them, but the situation was just so funny to them that the stifled laughter came out as snorts. Magna threw his arm around Luck before finally whispering , "Busted. C'mon let's get outta here."
So together they went back inside to enjoy the rest of their winter night... and avoid a grumpy Yami.

Mc has to go on a long trip, and their partner(s) can't come with them. So they make them a plushie of their favorite animal to cuddle with when they miss mc.
What animal would each ro get and how would the react to the plushie (for the poly too if that's ok!)?
This ask reminds me of when I answered this ask, so I am going to change the ask a bit. Hope that's okay! (Also adding the poly)
Mc has been gone a few days and the Ro has the plushie they got from them. Mc won't return for at least another two weeks and the RO is missing them hard.
This got super long!
Zane: Zane lets out a huff, 83. 84. 85. what is Mc doing right now? 86. 87. 88. Hopefully, they're gonna call soon. 82. 80- wait- what number was he on?
With a frustrated groan he slumps down onto the yoga mat, his counting ruined. And clearly, push-ups aren't distracting him enough from thinking about Mc.
Rolling onto his back he stared up at the ceiling, they've been gone so long now... Yet there were still at least two weeks to go. Pulling himself up he pulls his knees up to his chest, resting his chin on them. His eyes wander around the bedroom, a few of mc's items are around, a pair of extra pajama's when they stay over, their toothbrush in the ensuite, their slippers by the door, and-... He looks towards the devil boy, lovingly sitting on his shelf above the bed.
Zane properly stands up, thinking back to when Mc gave it to him... He walks towards the shelf, climbing onto his bed and grabbing the green-skinned blush... He tucks it gently under his chin and closes his eyes "I really should shower..."
~
Evander: The music in his headphones send vibrations through Evander's body, a good outlet for the complicated emotions he's feeling. His fooy taps against the cobbles street as he sits on a bench, it's the same bench him and Mc keep passing while walking outside together.
His eyes are closed and he takes a deep breath, straightening his back and reaching into his pocket. He's trying to fish out his lighter when his fingers touch something soft.
With a slight downturn of his lips, he pulls the mystery object out of his pocket, eyes widening into saucers at the sight of the little parrot plushie Mc gave him.
Ah.
Evander sticks his tongue out, licking his lower lip as he gently rubs the plushie with his thumb, then brings it to his lips and gives it a gentle kiss. A little sappy, but it's not like anyone important can see him.
"Hurry back, Mc."
~
Aimé: The giant cat plushie lays by it's lonesome on Aimé's bed, Aimé sitting by their desk, a book in hand trying to to read. Their finger tapped the page as they focused on it, they've probably read the same sentence at least 5 times- yet they cant remember what it says.
With a frustrated huff, they grab their bookmark and put it between the pages, closing the book and dropping it onto their desk. Wasn't Mc going to text them? call? Aimé rubbed their temple and inhaled air they didn't even need, a human habit.
They heard their phone vibrate on their nightstand- which immediately made Aimé move. Rushing across the room they nearly throw themselves onto the bed, grabbing at the phone and unlocking it- Mc finally-!!
...
It's just a notification for a book on sale.
With an almost angry scowl, they put the phone back on the table. They wrapped their arms around the giant stuffed cat Mc got Aimé. They hugged it tightly, inhaling the very faint lingering smell of Mc from the last time they stayed over. With a sigh they buried their face into the soft fur, maybe they should try to rest...
"Mc, come back soon..."
~
Nova: Nova looks at herself in the mirror, tilting her head this way and that as she inspects her makeup. This looked nice? Yes, this looked nice.
It would've been nice if Mc was here, maybe pay her a few compliments, be her date to the party... With a sigh, she pulls her braids back into a ponytail. She could take a selfie! send Mc and they answer when they can.
Hopefully, Mc is having fun.
Nova feels a possessive urge go through her, a need to find where Mc is, find her mate and be with them. But she takes a deep breath, calming her instincts.
Once they step out of the bathroom, they see the hand-made plushie Mc made for them. It sat on Nova's laptop, a companion while they worked. The stitches still held strong, and it was still oh so pretty... Mc is so talented.
With a small chuckle, she walks to the plushie, patting its head and humming. Thoughts of Mc making her chest warm.
"It's just 2 weeks"
Nova's finger twitches and she inhales deeply, taking in the scents around her room. Mc's shirt is still where they left it, giving her even more comfort that she sorely needs right now.
~
Kane: This party sucked. And Kane's supposed to love parties.
They bounce their leg in beat with the music as people danced around, someone was sitting on either side of them, trying to talk- about something, they don't care. Someone softly touched their shoulder and Kane shook them off. They didn't want anyone touching them right now.
With an annoyed growl, they stand up.
"I'm Tired." they grumble "I'm leaving."
Someone says something about Kane not leaving, another about that they arranged this- whatever. It's not fun without Mc, they're gone for a whole TWO MORE WEEKS!
With a half-hearted wave, they start to leave, and thankfully, nobody follows. This was supposed to distract them! Make them feel better! it's not like Mc is gone forever!
But Kane misses them, a lot.
They sigh, they only need to go a short distance to get back to their dorm, luckily. They passed a few people, but it seemed they were smart enough not to bother them right now.
When they finally got to their room, their eyes immediately landed on the plushie Mc gave them. It rested beside Kane's pillow on their bed, where they'd been hugging it every night now since Mc left.
They sink into bed, not bothering to take their clothes off, and pull their companion close. "you miss mc too, don't you?"
~
Zane & Aimé: Aimé's hand gently twirls Zane's hair between their fingers, the little devil boy resting under their chin, where Zane placed it, and their giant stuffed cat lays gracefully in the empty space beside them.
Zane hums as they gently rub the base of his horns. But Aimé doesn't notice, they keep reading the same sentence in their book over and over again... it's so hard to focus.
"When will they text? Or call?" Aimé suddenly asks, making Zane sigh and tilt his head up to look at them.
"When they have time, Aimé" he answers, voice gentle. "and we'll be waiting."
Aimé bites down on their lower lip, chewing it a bit while they consider Zane's words.
"I just- I just miss them. It's such a long time."
"I know... I miss them too, but-" Zane pulls himself up, propping himself on his elbows and smiling a little at his partner. "We have each other until they get back"
Aimé nods and a small smile spread's on their face "Yeah."

GARVEZ STORIES
EYES TALK
There is one thing that characterizes any couple that works, a kind of watershed between normal relationships and those so overwhelming as to be inexplicable. It is a simple but incomprehensible truth, if explained. Eyes talk and it's not just short phrases or interpretations of gestures like "go ahead", "ok". At all.
Through the eyes, two people can have beautiful deep conversations, they can even express what that doesn't want to come out of their own mouths. You can declare eternal love and also say it again; indeed, it is recommended to do it regularly.
You can't lie, with a look. This is why it is said that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. Or why when you're afraid to express something, you tend to look down.
However, this ability is not only used for big occasions, weepers statements. It is precisely the daily use that characterizes the special couples. Like Will and JJ, for example. Or like Penelope and Luke, on various occasions.
The first time (since they've been together) that it happens, it seems such a natural thing that neither of them pays much attention to it. They are attending the end of the year speech by FBI Director Flicker, as usual confusing and boring. They start exchanging malicious glances and then completely lose control, but without anyone (or almost) noticing. In the evening, as soon as they arrive at Luke's house (which at the time belonged only to him), they don't even waste time talking, each one already knows its job and so dinner is served and the aftermath as well. Only as they wear the pajamas, still panting, they realize they haven't said a word.
-How did you know that I wanted to eat just that?- Penelope is the first to work up the courage to say aloud what they both were thinking.
Luke replies with another question (a habit that will consolidate even more over time, between them). -And how you know I would have liked just… uh ..- he blushes, like a teenager facing his first crush, but he didn't show himself at all shy, in performing such exercises. The blonde shrugs, he says nothing and thus ends their first experience as a series A couple. But Penelope thinks about it all night, because she can't conceive of having really found her person. The one who reads your mind and not because works as a behavior analyst. Just like it worked for her parents.
On the contrary, Luke doesn't need such reasoning. It's pretty much from the first time he laid eyes on her and then inside her (eyes) that he's known that she's his person. The someone. It just took him a while to convince the other half of a truth that he has always considered indisputable.
And actually, how many times did happen that before they got together? How many times have they stared at each other for minutes, oblivious to the rest of the world, throwing challenges at each other, literally arguing, neither willing to back down. Often at inopportune moments, such as during briefings at the round table. Your idea is so stupid, Newbie! It was so clear to Luke that she was thinking this, from the way her lips were pursed, her brows furrowed, that he was wondering if she hadn't expressed it publicly. I'll surprise you, he had answered her simply, like a movement of his forehead and shining eyes.
And in addition to conscious communication, there is also the one that is not entirely voluntary to consider. Luckily for him (points of view), Garcia was perhaps the only one who was completely unaware of the way the Latin agent almost always looked at her. Whether it was for a joke to defuse the crime scene photos, for something wonderful she had done without giving too much weight to it, whether she was smiling or crying, Luke's gaze communicated a single fixed thought, which flashed like a neon sign at Vegas.
I am completely madly in love with this woman.
Penelope's dark eyes were very good at avoiding falling into SSA Alvez's lighter ones, at least most of the time, but there were still times when not even her immense terror could beat the power of the magnetism. And in those moments, there was no way to ignore the man's message. But it didn't last long, not long enough for her to keep saying that she had only been imagining it.
Likewise, on the other hand, Luke took advantage of those moments to look through her soul, and he succeeded. He saw a woman who was scared yet interested (or viceversa). However, as soon as the blonde rejected him, he also repeated to himself that it wasn't possible. He had seen what he wanted to see. A goddess like her would never show even an ounce of interest in him, because he felt like he wasn't anything special.
In terms of (selective) naivety the competition was completely open. Because he hadn't paid any attention to the way she had looked at him that day when one of his fellow soldiers had been killed, due (also) to an oversight on his part. Because he had forgotten to warn him that one of the criminals they had caught had escaped, threatening to take revenge on the entire team that had handled his case. And he, Mr Particular, always impeccable in his reports (so much so as to elicit a smile of approval from Hotch), had completely forgotten about Thomas. And who had chosen to hit, the bastard? Rhetorical question.
When he got off the elevator, his eyes had wandered for a moment, without settling on anyone. Much less about Penelope, who had followed him until he was gone. And JJ, her best friend, had the proof she needed to dismiss the case. Stop, said the eyes of the blonde with glasses. I would give my life to not see you feel so bad, no more, no less. And when, shortly after, he passed down the corridor again, heading home, towards Lisa, he had again missed the opportunity to see Garcia's feelings for him black on white. Such apprehension was not like a colleague, nor like a friend. JJ cared about him, yet she didn't look at him like that.
They could have keep to love each other with their eyes forever, without taking a single step further, limiting themselves to belonging to each other without actually having each other.
But luckily that wasn't the case, thanks to a dress that, were it for Luke, would frame and hang in their bedroom. In fact, he had proposed that idea to her, but she had rejected it, although she found it sweet (but a little creepy).
And now their non-verbal communications are always double. The current topic, which can be “Get me out of here, please!”, when a party or event is too boring, plus a fixed, always present background. Whether at that moment they are in a quarrel or that the situation is all rosy.
Don't forget that I love you.
