art for "Beans of various types" I feel like something bad is going to happen to me.
I feel like something bad has happened.
It hasn’t reached me yet, but it’s on its way.
And it’s getting closer.
And I don’t feel ready.
I feel like I can’t do anything.

What a lovely day to be young, handsome and doomed by the narrative!

Hobie Brown x Black!Reader
Synopsis | Hobie Brown has listened to you play three times, each time, he falls harder in love
wc | 1342
a/n: I'm simply obsessed with hobie Brown, like he's so fine. But anyways, here y'all go. I also tried new borders and adding synopsis and stuff and honestly I like it, don't know why I didn't do it sooner.
Tumblr media
The first time he heard you play was an accident.
Like usual, he had come by your place after dealing with his spiderman duties, or ‘problems the British government are too weak to fix’ as he would say to you time and time again. You had been practicing for an upcoming recital and you had been struggling with the end of it, always gliding your bow too rough or vice-versa. You were so immersed into what you were doing that he couldn’t interrupt, so instead, he sat on the edge of your bed, waiting for you to finish.
“Ok, I basically got it do-” you jump, screaming in fear as you turn around to see hobie with a smile on his face, chin in hand. “What the hell hobes’, why’re you just sittin’ there like a creep?!” and he smiles even more, getting up to hold you. “Why’ve you never told me you could play like that?” he asks, pressing a kiss to your lips.
“I have, you’ve just never heard me play before.” You smile, putting your violin back in its case. “You're lying straight through your teeth, you know that?” He jokes, walking around your room as if examining it.
He was half right. You didn’t tell him that you played the violin, but what you did tell him is that you played an instrument, so he can't be mad at that. Besides, if he wanted to hear you play, he could've asked at any time of day and you would've done it.
“Okay okay, you're right. But now you know, so you gonna stand there sulkin’ like a baby or are you gonna come over here and lay with me?” You ask, patting the empty side of your bed. “You know how to change the topic of conversation a little to well for my likin’, you know that?” He says, laying next to you, pulling you onto his chest. 
“Yes, now stop bein a little baby so we can watch that show you were buggin’ me about.”
Tumblr media
The second time he heard you play, you were on stage.
You had bought him a ticket to the concert hall where you would be performing. He could tell that you were excited to play, which is why he made sure to tell Miguel that he wouldn't be available today.
He walks in, confused as to where to go. So he goes to the closest person he thinks works there; a receptionist behind the desk. “Where do I go to find… auditorium seven?” With a pointed finger to the left, he says thank you and walks off, ticket in hand.
He goes up to row fourteen, picking out his seat from dozens. Sitting down with a deep sigh, he plays with the ribbed scrunchie you had given him months ago. He waits in silence for the recital to start, fatigue almost taking him. 
His attention is caught once the lights dim down from everywhere besides the middle of the stage. The pianists go first, and he enjoys it, but it doesn’t really catch his attention. His knee shakes out of suspense as the stage closes for what could've been the twentieth time. The violinists go next, and he gets excited, sitting up straighter in his chair. You told him that you would be the fifth to last one to play, but you didn’t tell him how many people would be playing. So here he was, waiting to see when you would come out from the side of the stage in all your beauty. 
The seventh person goes, and now he’s just straight bored. Now don’t get him wrong, he fucked with classical music, he thought it was cool, but he wasn’t all that interested it if it wasn’t you. So when you came out, he was all the more happier. 
The audiences’ volume lowered once again, and you put your bow unto the strings. He leaned forward, as if to get closer to you; then you started playing. He didn’t know if it was the fact that he was in love with you, or if he knew that you being on stage meant that this entire was close to being over, but it was as if you and him were the only ones who existed. He could see the passion you had inside of you from the way you played, and it brought a smile onto his features. You had a certain expression on your face that he could only read as a love only you could understand.
When it was all over, you found him through the thick crowd and ran into his arms, hugging him tightly. “Did you see me hobes’?” You ask, taking his hand in yours. “No, I fell asleep. Sorry love.” He deadpans, struggling to hold back a grin as he watches your face drop. “Your fuckin joking babe. Don't do that to me!” You whine, playfully punching him in the arm as he almost doubles over in laughter. “I'm so sorry love, I had to do it.” He sighs, wiping a tear from his eye “Don't get slapped.” You whisper as the two of you walk out onto the crowded street. “What was that?” He teases, bending down to hear you better. “I'm gonna hit you in a second.” You say, pushing his head from yours. 
Tumblr media
The third time he hears you play, he knows he’s gonna spend the rest of his life with you.
He was making dinner, a simple dish of spaghetti and garlic bread, while you were on the couch watching something that you’ve surely already watched a million times before. He was checking to see if the bread was ready when all of a sudden you gasp loudly, causing him to almost burn himself against the top of the oven. “Shit- what the yell y/n, you good?”
You don’t answer, instead running to your now shared room to get your violin. Curious to see what you're doing, he follows after you. “What idea has your frightening brain come up with that you screamed like a dying banshee?” He asks, leaning against the doorframe. “Hobes, you're about to see me flex on something that I’ve been able to do since I was fourteen.” You smile, running back to the living room. “ This should be interesting.”
You unpause the movie, placing the violin under your chin as you get ready to play. The scene unfolding before Hobie Brown is… a spectacle to say the least. You’re currently playing the violin version of the scene from the end of Sister Act 2. The fact that you took the time to learn this more than five years ago is wild to him. But it’s what makes him fall in love with you all the more. You finish, turning to him with a smile that could rival the sun. “Why did you take time out of your life to learn that specific part of the movie, and why did you do it so well?” He asks, confusion written all over his face. “I used to hyperfixate on things for like months a time, and this was one of them.” You say, big smile still painted on your face
“Was the hyperfixation the movie itself, or was it learning songs from movies on the violin?” “It was both, but you can’t lie; both Sister Act movies were nothing but fire.” You say, walking up to him, violin long discarded.
“Sure love, whatever you say.” He takes your hips in his grasp, gently pulling you against him. “What, you don’t think so?” You ask, pressing kisses onto his entire face, effectively making him laugh. “Yes, I do think that both Sister Act movies are good, great even.” He chuckles, pressing one kiss on the side of your forehead. “You know you love me and all of my unusual interests.’ You smirk, walking into the kitchen. “Do I, do I really?”
“Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?”
Yeah, he’s never letting you go, you sound to sweet to him.

One Direction Concert
The Royal Family Series Masterlist
Maia’s POV: Growing up in the Royal family is not just about wearing pretty dresses and travelling around the world. It came with royal protocols that I had followed since I was a little girl, I was encouraged to smile, be polite and follow in my brothers' footsteps – the issue was no one specified which brother, so evidently, I was known for being a little rebellious like my brother Harry. However, I did follow William’s path and went to university where I enjoyed some lowkey life and met my best friends.
It was no secret to anyone that I’m a massive One Direction fan, so the excitement I felt when my brothers surprised me with tickets, for graduating, to see the boys perform in London was unexplainable. Going to see concerts was something I dreamed of as a teenager but unfortunately, it was not always possible as duties call. So that explains where I currently am, on my way to The O2 Arena to let my hair down with my brother Harry, who I think is secretly as excited as me.
The black Range Rover drove through the security gates and parked in the designated spot. Our guards opened our doors and allowed us out of the car before escorting us through the private entrance. As we were shown to our seats in the private box, I could see the arena was lit and other fans trying to find their seats. Harry and I were both dressed in black, hoping not to draw too much attention to us. Harry was wearing a simple black polo shirt with black jeans and casual shoes, whilst I opted for a black off-the-shoulder long-sleeved top paired with a black leather skirt and my bulky boots. As I snapped a quick photo of the view and stage in front of us, my brother’s voice was heard. “Let me guess, for your Instagram?” Harry teased as he took a sip of his beer. “Aw shut up Henry” I playfully spoke. “Ey, now that’s no way for a Princess to speak” “Do I need to remind you of your rebellious times Henry?” Before Harry could respond to your teasing, the lights of the arena flicked and dimmed which caused the arena to cheer, including myself as the intro video was played on the large screens before the four boys appeared and began singing ‘No Control’. I sang and danced along nudging my brother next to me for him to join in.
“London O2” Louis shouted into his mic “We just got to start by sayin’ thank you to all” which caused the arena to cheer again as Louis continued to say how lucky the band were, before singing ‘Kiss You’. Yeah, so tell me, girl, if every time we touch You get this kinda rush Baby, say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah If you don't wanna take it slow And you just wanna take me home Baby, say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And let me kiss you
After singing ‘Kiss You’, Harry began talking to the audience “London make some noise…hello..how are ya?” I didn’t realise I was standing still in my own world until my brother nudged my shoulder and spoke into my ear “Chin up Mimi, you’re drooling” he teased using the nickname he and William call me. “I’m not drooling” “Hmm..of course you’re not..might want to sort it out before you meet him later” to this my head whipped to the side and my eyes widened.
“W-what?”. “We’re going to see them after the show” I wasn’t sure if I was nervous, excited or both. For every song, I danced and screamed the lyrics and just enjoyed every moment whilst I could. Even Harry began to let loose and joined in even though he had no idea what the words were. After the boys had sung ‘Little White Lies’, the boys stood together and Liam began to speak, but what surprised me was how he addressed me and Harry being at the show. “We have some special guests here tonight” causing the fans to cheer even more and Louis, Niall and Harry began to wave up at the box “Hello…we hope you’re enjoying?”. Harry and I both waved back and cheered. “London give it up for the Prince and Princess” and the four boys and bow their heads, which made us laugh and the fans went crazy. I was disappointed as the boys said their thank yous and goodbyes after they finished their last song. But knowing I was about to meet them made me excited and slightly nervous. Harry and I made our way to the backstage area as our guards followed behind us closely. “So did you enjoy it?” Harry asked. “I absolutely loved it..best present ever, thank you” “You deserve it Mimi..you worked hard” Harry complimented. As the boy's manager Paul showed us to the room where the boys were waiting, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. Harry walked in first as I insisted so I could hide behind his tall figure. The four boys were standing in a formal line, almost like they had been told to be on their best behaviour. Starting with Niall, Harry shook his hand as the Irishman bowed his head “You were amazing, I’m very jealous of your guitar skills” which made Niall smile and cheeks blush at the compliment. I followed Harry’s steps and shook Niall and Louis’s hands and thanked them for allowing us to come to their show “It’s our pleasure” Louis spoke as he politely bowed his head. As I shook Liam’s hand, my brother shook Harry’s and praised their performance “I think your name is great too” he added making the boys laugh. I gently shook Harry’s hand as he bowed his head towards me “Thank you for a great show, you were amazing” I praised as we locked eyes. “Thank you for coming and spending your evening with us” Harry spoke. “You’ve got yourselves a big fan here” my brother interrupted “Always blaring your albums at home” “No need to reveal my secrets Henry” I playfully scolded as the boys laughed at our teasing. “Well we’ll leave you boys to rest, thank you again for allowing us to come to see your show” “You’re more than welcome to come to another one” Harry spoke, whilst looking directly at me. “I’d come to them all if I could” I replied “Maybe I’ll bring Granny next time” I joked. “Now that I’d pay to see” my brother laughed. After leaving the arena that evening I went home, had a shower and got into bed and scrolled through my phone, replying to messages from my friends, and of course, uploaded a photo to my private Instagram.

Seo Changbin x Fem. Reader x Ma Dongseok
Genre: Smut
Warnings: Mafia theme, Gun play, Knife play, Slight blood play, Face slapping, Name calling, Unprotected sex, Tit slapping(?)
Word Count: 6.5K
A/N: Here’s the long awaited collab fic we have! I wrote this masterpiece with my amazing and talented friend @sparkystraynger, we had so much fun writing it so we hope you guys enjoy reading as well! Let us know what you think and don’t forget to check out her amazing works too! <3
This is a repost from my old blog, I’m not stealing anyone’s work
Changbin leads a simple life. Simple by his definition means following orders of a mafia boss until he earns his rank. He’s been doing that since he’s 17. When you start that young, there’s no way you can go back to what people deem is a normal life. Normal family, normal friends, normal relationships – those are not options he allows himself to need, or to even want..
This so-called simplicity is why he doesn’t so much as allow himself to blink when the hot metal rod with the gang initials sinks into his skin, the hissing sound of the burning hot metal and the blood dripping don’t faze him, his skin breaking not earning any reaction to anyone’s waiting for him to break.

This so-called simplicity is why he doesn’t so much as allow himself to blink when the hot metal rod with the gang initials sinks into his skin, the hissing sound of the burning hot metal and the blood dripping don’t faze him, his skin breaking not earning any reaction to anyone’s waiting for him to break.
Instead of focusing on the rather unannounced contact of the hot metal rod with his skin yet again, Changbin decides to rest his eyes on the sight in front of him. Mr. Ma has his, who Changbin assumes is his very pretty daughter, sitting closely to the big man who Changbin personally looks up to - Mr. Ma’s a legend - as the both of them look at him, facial expressions rather impressed with how he is withholding the pain.
The room is only lit with dim lights, the soft red-yellowish hues fill in the tobacco-smelling room. Somehow it makes the girl look even more angelic, even more breathtaking. Soft facial features, cute button nose with full pouty lips and cheeks that he doesn’t mind biting. The tight black leather mini dress she’s wearing doesn’t even leave anything to the imagination, and Changbin knows this because he can easily just picture her naked in his head right now. And he loves every bit of it.
“You’re good, I’ll give it to you,” Mr. Ma speaks and Changbin politely nods his head in acknowledgement. He licks his lips, subtly recovering himself from his sinful thoughts but it’s hard when he sees the girl’s tits squished against his boss’ gigantic arm.
Changbin’s always curious about how pretty little daughters dress so sluttily around their fathers. Changbin can only imagine himself being more of an overprotective dad because men, men like himself, would devour a girl like this. A girl like her.
The red haired man, who he heard is called Hwang, seems to enjoy breaking his skin but finally stops his ministrations when Mr. Ma gives a curt ‘stop’, walking silently out of the room after giving the big man a bow. This time, Changbin pays attention to the things Mr. Ma’s right hand man, Bang, is telling him about his duties.
“You start working for Mr. Ma starting now. Duties include being Mr. Ma’s personal bodyguard and overseeing the training sessions for the men. Wherever Mr. Ma goes, you go. Whatever Mr. Ma does, you do. Whatever Mr. Ma says, you follow. No exception. If he tells you to kill, you kill. If he tells you to die, you die. Understood?” Bang says to which Changbin nods.
Fewer words are better in this kind of situation, in Changbin’s opinion. Better and needed, especially when his boss is casually admiring Changbin’s gun that was confiscated during the fake ambush that was set up to prove his fighting skills.
But without saying a word, Mr. Ma throws the gun at Changbin and luckily for his fast reflexes, Changbin catches it with his not-healed arm, his skin burning at the movement. Yet he doesn’t give a reaction. No sign of pain, only focus.
And the night of his recruitment ends with the pretty girl sending a flirtatious wink his way as she follows the mafia boss out of the room.
His new job is going to be interesting.
Tumblr media
Changbin had done dangerous things in his life, he really did. The thrill of it adds to the enjoyment. But never in his life he thought he’d be doing something more dangerous than all the other things he has done. Ever since he was hired to be Mr. Ma’s bodyguard, he has been with him every second of the day. Even when Mr. Ma has a day off and is at home, Changbin is always on duty.
That means seeing the girl, or who Changbin assumes is his boss’ daughter. There’s just something different about this girl that makes him want to lose all his principles and make a move. She’s smoking hot, always walking around the house all dolled up, short skirts and dresses hugging her curves just right.
Honestly, Changbin doesn’t care if anyone sees him eyeing her. Or to be more specific, he doesn’t give a single fuck if anyone sees him eye-fucking her in broad daylight. In all honesty, he doesn’t know how or why the other men don't pay even a slither of attention to this woman.
What a bunch of fucking pussies, Changbin thinks to himself. Guess the boss’ daughter is off limits to them but Changbin just can’t even try to convince himself to stop because this forbidden fruit is just begging to be bitten. But Changbin is not about to complain. It just means he has her all to himself, if he ever acts on his urges.
But the fact that y/n doesn’t even look remotely alike to Mr. Ma makes him curious of how Mrs. Ma looks like. He can just assume just as stunning.
“How come Y/N doesn’t look like Mr. Ma? I guess she looks a lot like her mother,” Changbin says to fill the silence at the door of one of the meeting rooms at Dongseok’s office with Minho.
“Why would Miss y/n look like Mr. Ma?” Minho asks, tone confused.
Changbin looks at him briefly “I mean, wouldn’t you at least carry your dad’s genes? So I assume she’d look a bit like him,” he shrugs.
When Changbin finishes his sentence, Minho lets out a loud laugh “Wait, so you’re talking about y/n, Mr. Ma’s daughter, huh?” he asks, amusement lacing his voice but Changbin doesn’t pick up on the peculiar stress Minho puts when he says ‘daughter’.
Changbin is confused as to why Minho looks so amused and entertained, even more so when the purple haired guy lets out another laugh “What the fuck are you laughing for?” the shorter asks as Minho shakes his head.
“Nothing. Just funny how you think y/n is supposed to have Mr. Ma’s looks, yknow, being his daughter and all,” Minho retorts, trying to stifle his laugh.
Changbin just looks at the guy weirdly before focusing back on his duty. At least now he knows who in the team has a weird sense of humour.
Tumblr media
“Have you noticed anything with Seo lately?” Dongseok asks Y/N while they’re having dinner. His bodyguards would usually be in the same dining room, standing in the corner but he just wants to be alone with y/n for something very specific.
“Like what?” Y/N asks, taking a sip from her wine.
“Like the way he’s looking at you. As if he’s fucking you right then and there in his head,” he says letting out a dark chuckle. Y/N chokes on her wine, coughing a couple of times.
“Oh come on doll, don’t tell me you haven’t noticed it too. I’ve seen you looking at him couple of times as well”
And he did. In fact, Dongseok has been keeping an eye on Changbin ever since Minho, one of his bodyguards, told him that Changbin thinks Y/N is his daughter.
“You can be honest, doll. I won’t be mad,” Dongseok says, taking a sip of his whiskey as Y/N clears her throat, his pretty doll clearly flustered.
“I mean, he is attractive, I’ll admit to that. But you know there’s nothing more,'' she says, looking at the smirk forming on the face of the man who owns her, body and soul.
“He looks so much like me, doesn’t he?” he asks, choosing to ignore what she said because her not having anything more with that boy Seo is the last thing he wants.
Y/n gives him a nod. “If I had met you both on a different occasion, I’d think you guys were dad and son,” she says, unable to stop her little giggle that follows it. Imagining this man who kills for a living with Changbin, who also does the same, as his son is actually quite funny in her head. They would be a powerful duo. A hot one at that.
“He does remind me of my young self. He’s brave too, doesn’t fear anything,” Dongseok says, swirling the whiskey in his hand. “Sure as hell doesn’t give a fuck when he’s eye fucking my woman right where I can see.”
y/n stays quiet, wanting to see how this pans out. It could be that he’s pissed but the smirk on his face makes her feel that anger is not one of the emotions he’s feeling about the whole thing.
Of course she knows. Of course she knows Changbin has been eye fucking her. That man is too hot for her to not notice. And it’s even crazier how much alike Changbin looks to her older lover. It’s insane because it makes her think of Changbin too when Dongseok is the one fucking her.
“I want to watch him fuck you.”
His statement invites a moment of silence.
“I want to watch that boy, who looks so much like me when i was younger, fuck you,” Dongseok repeats himself, voice dark and low. “I want to watch the younger version of me fuck the living shit out of you and use you just like i do. Sounds good?”
“You know i would do anything you want,” y/n mutters shyly, the thought of being watched as she gets dicked down by a doppelganger of her older lover excites her.
“Good. i knew you’d like that, doll,” Dongseok says, giving her a devilish smile.
“Oh and y/n, Seo thinks you’re my daughter,” the man adds, making y/n’s eyes widen.
Well, this should be fun.
Tumblr media
“What do you think about training y/n?” Dongseok asks as he walks towards his car with Changbin. Changbin’s taken aback to say the least because y/n has her usual trainer, Han, so why is Mr. Ma suddenly asking him to train her?
“I want you to do it. She needs to have pain endurance training. You’re the most suitable for the job,” the man adds, seeing the wheels turning in Changbin’s head.
Changbin nods, not wanting to question his boss more than his mind already is. Did y/n ask for him? Or is Mr. Ma really just asking him to do it just based on the little ‘no reaction’ performance Changbin gave on the day of his recruitment. Something sounds off, mainly because Mr. Ma never assigns him to anyone else, especially not to y/n.
“Good. I’ll see you in the training room tomorrow morning then,” Dongseok says as he gets in the car and leaves Changbin there with so many questions in his head. He walks towards the front seat beside the driver, Yang, but Mr. Ma calls him.
“Sit at the back with me, Seo,” his boss tells him and again, Changbin’s confused. It somehow makes him feel like he’s gonna be killed, so he makes a mental note of where he keeps his weapons on his body. The best option is to grab his gun because he knows Mr. Ma is more of a knife guy, preferring slow death for other people.
Just as he’s about to get into the car, a chirpy voice greets his ears.
“Hey, are you trying to fight for a spot on Daddy's lap too? Better be ready to fight me, Changbin,” y/n says, laughing as she softly pushes him out of her way as she wiggles her little self inside the car.
“Daddy!” the girl beams and Changbin can’t help but find it endearing how she’s so close to her dad that she’s practically with him 24/7.
“Right on time, darling,” Mr. Ma says as y/n gives him a kiss on the cheek.
Changbin feels like he’s intruding the dad-daughter interaction, and it’s too crowded for three people to sit at the back of the car, anyway, so he’s just going to go to the front-
“Sit here with us, Changbin! There’s enough space, I wanna sit on Daddy’s lap,” y/n speaks cheerfully and Changbin just nods but on the inside, he’s definitely judging how an adult woman can be so close to her father that she would sit on his lap with such a tight skirt on.
But then again, who is he to judge this pretty girl and her killer dad?
So, Changbin does as he’s told. Y/n long legs extend to the floor of the middle seat, her stilettos coming in contact with his ankles.
Yang’s already driving at this point, y/n busy catching Mr. Ma up on her day and Changbin’s baffled with himself that he finds this cute.
This grown woman with tits he would gladly bury his head in for days, interacting with her dad like a little kid and that turns Changbin on. Changbin’s definitely fucked in the head but he guess anyone would react the same way he would if they were presented with a meal that is y/n.
“...and I have training with Han tomorrow! Well, I was supposed to but he says you cancelled it, Daddy. May I know why?” her little pout makes Changbin smile. Such a cute little thing. If she weren’t on her Dad’s lap right now, as fucking weird as that is, he would definitely make her kiss his cock with that pout.
“Because Changbin’s going to train you tomorrow. Pain endurance,” Mr. Ma says, head slightly nodding towards Changbin’s direction.
“Yes, Miss y/n. Looking forward to training you tomorrow,” Changbin says professionally although his head is just thinking about if y/n is the type of girl who loves pain.
Y/n doesn’t speak for a few seconds and it somehow makes Changbin nervous. Is this the moment where she’ll take out her gun and kill him? Is this just part of a ruse?
But the thoughts leave his mind when y/n squeals in delight. “Thank you, Daddy! I am definitely looking forward to being trained by the pain master himself,” y/n says, playfully squeezing Changbin’s arm.
Mr. Ma just gives a low chuckle and the car ride continues with the sound of an excited y/n talking about her day and how she’s good at handling pain.
Oh Changbin can’t wait to see if she’s telling the truth.
Tumblr media
When morning comes, Changbin prepares the things he’s going to use for his training session with y/n. He still doesn’t understand why Mr. Ma would say he could go as hard as he wants on her, finding it strange that a father would want to see his daughter in pain, but as always, he doesn't question it.
As y/n comes into the room with Dongseok, he bows at them, smiling slightly “I’ve prepared everything. I have tasers, ropes, knives, everything you asked for, sir,” he says pointing at the table that was in the room
“Good. Darling, why don’t you go ahead and sit on the chair?” Dongseok says, rubbing the smaller girl’s shoulder as she nods, a little smirk appearing on her lips.
What surprises him is not the fact that Mr. Ma specifically instructs him to make it hurt for the girl, no. What surprises him is when y/n hands him the rope, her soft skin touching his, the contact making Changbin's skin burn with need.
Changbin's turned into a very weak man because of this little vixen.
"Tie me up, Seo," she says, the tone of her voice somewhat teasing him. He could be in a lot of trouble if her dad catches on.
"So the princess wants to be tied up? In the same room as her daddy, huh?" Changbin tries to get the upper hand as he leads her to the chair, whispering right beside her ear as he ties her wrists on the chair’s armrest. Mr. Ma is currently sitting on the chair near the wall, eyes on them both like a hawk on guard.
Y/n lets out a subtle chuckle, the close proximity of how she's sitting with Changbin in front of her makes her little head movement faintly hitting Changbin's stomach. "Isn't that the thrill? You punishing me in front of him?" she offers.
Changbin licks his lips at the thought. Sure, the adrenaline of having parents around in the other room while you fuck with a girl is nothin short of amazing.
But the idea of pleasuring y/n by punishing her in the same room as her father excites him even more. And it's crazy because what's he's going to do with her is not anything sexual, it's only the nature of it that could be something Changbin would definitely be down to do in the bedroom.
The moment the rope is securely tightened on y/n's wrists,Changbin can’t help but think about how pretty her porcelain skin would look with marks. But that thought is short lived when Mr. Ma speaks up just as he’s about to tie y/n’s legs.
"Tie her legs apart, Seo. Not close together."
Changbin’s caught a bit off guard by the instruction but he doesn’t question it. It’s probably not his greatest unreacting moment because when he spreads y/n’s legs apart to tie them each onto the leg of the chair, his breath gets stuck in his throat.
She’s not wearing panties. Changbin’s squatting and is face to face with her glistening cunt, the shine less noticeable since she still has her skirt on but it’s noticeable enough.
If he stands right now, Mr. Ma will see her own daughter’s pussy. That won’t be good, would it? Y/n’s probably gonna get in trouble but the fact that Changbin’s been looking at this pretty cunt for about 10 seconds now won’t be good for himself either.
He’s fucked either way. So he tries to make eye contact with y/n, wanting her to give him a sign of what he should do but y/n just smiles cheekily at him.
It’s either she’s fucking crazy or his initial thoughts of these two trying to get him killed is true. Changbin’s only weapon is the rope, so there’s really not much he can do at this point.
“Like what you see, Seo?” Mr. Ma asks, more rhetoric than it is an actual question because of course that little fucker does. If Changbin is anything like himself when he was younger, a pussy that pretty would definitely not be something he would pass up on.
“Mr. Ma, I didn’t mean to-”
“Slap it.”
Changbin whips his head back to y/n, who’s now biting her lower lip. As much as he is loving this little show of hers, there’s no way he’s going to fucking slap her cunt in front of her dad.
“Mr. Ma-”
“She’s not my daughter, you stupid boy,” Mr. Ma laughs, feeling a bit annoyed at Changbin’s hesitance. “She’s my slut. My slutty lover, if you will. Now you better slap her cunt because this bitch needs to learn how to endure pain.”
Changbin rarely feels embarrassed but he is definitely feeling it now. That means all the other bodyguards have been messing with him all along. And y/n has too, because she knows he thinks she’s Mr. Ma’s daughter. He’s definitely more motivated to slap her cunt now.
“This will be okay with both of you?” Changbin questions cautiously, wanting to know if there’s a catch to this.
“Mhm. Please, Changbin. Daddy just wants to see you hurt me and then use me. Fuck me like how he would. You look so much like him when he was younger, Seo. It’s so fucking hot having the both of you here,” y/n shalemessly admits, the idea of fucking that was originally Dongseok’s is finally making it’s way to her heart and pulsating pussy.
She wants them both. She needs them both. But what she needs now is to have someone her age who looks like her lover to fuck her.
Changbin’s reviewing his choices but his brain only comes back to the fact that he’s been lusting over y/n for a while now and he’s sure that his cock would be awfully disappointed if he doesn’t take the opportunity to act on his urges.
He’s already made a fool of himself, thinking that y/n is his boss’ daughter. And the fact that his boss is inviting him to use his slutty lover instead of being offended of Changbin’s stupid mix-up means that Changbin is a lucky son of a bitch.
What’s the worst that could happen? If Mr. Ma wanted to kill him for his stupidity, he would’ve been dead way before this. So this is an arrangement that Changbin should gladly take.
And he does.
Changbin gets the knife from the table, the blade shining in the white light of the room. He twirls the knife in his hand, spinning it between his fingers as he walks around her, eyeing her with hunger in his eyes until he stops in front of her.
He puts the tip of the knife under the girl’s chin, lifting her head up to look at him “Let’s see how you can handle pain, huh princess?” he says, raising one brow as he drags the knife from her neck to the spot where it meets her shoulder “How about,” he starts, pushing the tip of the knife into her soft and spotless skin, puncturing just enough to leave a scar, his eyes meeting Mr. Ma’s.
The scream she lets out shouldn’t have sent shivers down Changbin’s spine to his cock, it really shouldn’t have. But after hearing that painful sound, the urge to hurt her even more making the young man’s blood run hot through his veins “What? The frail little princess can’t take it?” he says deeply, his voice dark and has an edge to it, as if he was mocking her.
“I can take it! I’m not scared of you Seo,” y/n says, keeping her head held high as Changbin finishes with the first initial “D”. “A pretty present for you, boss. My apologies for the mix up,” he says to the older man, earning himself a low chuckle.
“Cut off her blouse, Seo. Younger Dongseok should know how to move faster than this snail pace of yours,” Dongseok taunts, knowing that a guy like Changbin just hates when he’s challenged.
Changbin nearly growls at his boss’ words but it does motivate him to get this girl naked a lot faster. He takes a handful of y/n’s shirt and cuts a rather messy hole from the area of her chest until her tummy, using the knife. Her bra-cladded tits look really pretty, full and perky and ready to be devoured.
Seeing the blood drip down from her collarbone to her perfect perky tits makes Changbin get harder in his pants if that was even possible, his intrusive thoughts running wild to just lick it up but he fights the urge. This kink of his is already unsanitary as it is, he has to refrain himself.
“Keep your eyes open, slut. Do I need to teach you how to handle this little girl, Seo? Doing a lousy job for someone who should be hurting her,” Dongseok’s deep voice stings Changbin’s ears, making him pull away from the heavenly sight to carve another initial right next to the freshly made one, his initial,“C”.
“Guess she belongs to the both of us now,” Changbin smirks, feeling more daring because this old man did not just say Changbin can’t get a hold of this little bitch.
This time, y/n lets out a sob and a quiet scream, her lips, swollen and red from all the biting but she loves it. She loves that she’s being tortured before she gets to have cock stuffed in her cunt. It’s the best kind of foreplay.
“Is it bad that I like how you scream?” Changbin asks, chuckling, tugging onto the roots of her hair, making her head thrown back. “But what I wonder the most is, how will you be screaming my name later, while I destroy your cute little cunt as your daddy watches. Need to show him that I can turn you into my obedient little bitch, don’t we?” he says deeply in her ear, making the hair on her body stand up in anticipation and want.
“You better make that promise come true, Seo. I’m not losing my voice to this stupid knife yet, so you better make me lose it from your cock,” y/n says looking up at Changbin with those innocent, sparkling eyes of hers, tyring to feign indifference.
“Fucking bitch,” Changbin scoffs, hand moving the knife down, hooking the knife through one of the lacy straps and cuts it off, her tits popping out of them. He smirks “Such perfect little tits,” he says walking towards the table to put the knife down, picking up the gun this time.
“Is it loaded?” the young man asks his boss, turning to look at him briefly as he twirls the gun around his finger. Dongseok smirks, leaning forwards, his arms on his knees, making him look intimidating “Yes.”
“Good” Changbin says as he puts the gun on her temple “You know, if you weren’t my boss’ mistress, I would have so much fun torturing you. Right now you look like a frail little bitch to me, wanting to have her Daddy watch as she gets tortured when in reality she can only handle a little pain. All you can think of is my cock fucking your little cunt, can’t you?” Changbin growls, moving to tap the gun harshly on her pretty tits. Her nipples look so pretty, all hard and pinkish. He aims the barrel and taps it harshly on her nipples, alternating everytime she lets out a beautiful moan.
The thrill of everything makes y/n’s head spin. The way he has a gun, loaded one, on her tits, exposed to her older lover while his doppleganger is oh-so-called training her.
Her mind is running a billion miles per second, the want and need to be fucked without her pleasure being cared for is growing the longer Changbin just plays with her – she just wants to be fucked dumb until she can’t form words, only babbling.
Changbin realizes how she lost her focus so he gives her another slap on her tits with the gun. “Focus,” he orders, looking down at her intensely.
“Just fuck me Changbin. I can’t take it anymore” y/n whines as Changbin slaps her tits with the gun again. “The fun had just started, doll. And you’re already impatient?” he says, making a tsk sound.
“She has always been a whore like this. Never patient. Never learning to wait even after how many times I fucked her pussy,” he buff man says, taking a big sip from his whiskey before taking a puff of his cigarette. “Why do you think I keep her? This brat is fun when she’s all cock hungry. She’ll do anything for pain and pleasure.”
Changbin chuckles at Dongseok’s words, tapping her cheeks softly with his free hand. “Dumb little brat, look at yourself. All exposed and dirty for two men to use you,” he teases.
“Changbin, come here,” his boss says, beckoning Changbin over. “There’s a box inside one of the drawers. Use whichever toy you want.”
With those words, the younger smirks, nodding as he walks over to the table again.
He looks at the array of toys. Or to be more precise, the wider array of dildos. The ones that vibrate, the ones with tentacles, the ones with swirling motions - there’s a lot to choose from. But his eyes are set on the glass dildo, clear and pretty and just the perfect fit for the pretty girl waiting for him.
Changbin walks back to her with the glass dildo and a surprise present - a taser.
He squats down in front of her again, licking his lips before biting it looking at her now even wetter and dripping cunt.
Changbin puts the taser on her now naked tummy, looking up at her with hooded and dark eyes blown with lust "I wanna fucking hurt you because you fucking embarrassed me. Made me think you're my boss' daughter? Think it's cute? What if I tase you until you pass out? You won't get my cock that way. I can do that because i'm here to fucking test your pain endurance."
A pathetic whine leaves y/n’s lips, squirming in her seat, seeing Changbin move his finger to press the button that sets off the taser, closing her eyes as she waits for the electroshock and pain to hit her body.
Just as she’s expecting the pain, she instead flinches with the coldness that hits her pussy lips, making her shoot her eyes open and look down towards Changbin seeing the sinful smirk on his face.
It’s a crime how beautiful this sadistic man is, y/n thinks to herself.
And it’s a crime how hot it is that Changbin’s lodging a glass dildo into her mouth while he runs the barrel of the gun through on lower lips, applying pleasure to her clit, making her close her eyes again and let out a whimper.
Changbin lets out a dark chuckle, watching her face contort with pleasure as he keeps playing with her pussy with the gun “How do you feel, doll?” Dongseok asks, reminding his presence in the room.
“Speak when spoken to, slut,” Changbin demands, right hand placing the dildo deep in her mouth while his left hand plays the gun around her wet cunt.
“O fo in goo-” the muffled words come out of her mouth, which Changbin’s sure she tries to say “so fucking good”.
“Too dumb to speak clearly? What a pity. Dumb girls don’t get cocks,” Changbin warns but he doesn’t take the dildo out of her mouth, he just pulls it out a bit just enough to let her talk.
“So fucking good, Daddy, please make him fuck me-”
Goes in the dildo again, making her gag a little. She’s nearly sobbing at this point. The pain and the teases just makes her wish she could free herself from being tied up.
“You’re in no fucking position to make demands, little slut,” Changbin, growls at her, this time chucking the gun away and using his bare hand to rip off her skirt, making y/n’s eyes roll at the hotness of it all.
Her clothes are now all torn, but the fact that she’s not even fully naked yet just showing your nudity from your torn up clothes makes it all much hotter.
But what’s even hotter is how Changbin’s thrusting the dildo in and out of her mouth in an unforgiving face while his big palm starts slapping her cunt, the wet sounds of her essence bounces off the four walls.
She’s moaning around the glass dildo, saliva dripping but Changbin pays no mind. He’s being paid to hurt this little bitch and then pleasure her. So he better do a good job doing both.
“Aww, does. This. fucking. Hurt?” Changbin feigns sympathy, palm still landing flat on her cunt, purposely letting the bony part of his palm hit her clit,
“Fucking slut. You love this don’t you. Look at your little slut, boss. You said I couldn’t handle her, huh?” Changbin snickers as he finally stops slapping her now red pussy, puffy from all the slapping. He takes out the dildo from her mouth and laughs at how pathetic she looks.
“Think you made your point? Let me see you make her cry from your cock, Seo. Then we’ll really know,” Dongseok smirks, sitting back as he watches from the other end of the room. It’s such a thrilling experience seeing someone who looks like himself using his slut like this. And the fact that his mistress is enjoying this gives him more reason to make her earn his forgiveness after.
“Oh I’ll make my fucking point,” Changbin says, anger bubbling in him. His mind is blank, only aim now is to make y/n cry from his cock. He slaps the wetness onto her tits, cleaning his hand.
He makes a fast trip to the table and grabs the knife. Not even 10 seconds later, y/n is surprised with the rope on her legs snapping and Changbin pulling her forward so her ass hangs at the edge of the seat, her legs instinctively wrapping around Changbin’s waist but her hand’s still tied.
Changbin moves the angle a little to the left, bringing y/n and the chair as well, so that his boss can see.
Not wasting more time, he whips out his fat cock, spitting on it for good measure. He tugs on it a few times, smirking at how y/n’s mouth is agape at his size. He doesn’t even wait for her to finish admiring when he sinks into her hole, her hips bucking at the sudden stretch,
“Changbin, fuck,” she moans, the uncomfortable feeling of the position leaving her mind when her pussy is now filled with cock.
Changbin just responds to her by bottoming out and pulling out again, but when he hears her screaming his name in pleasure, he starts to thrust deeper, changing angles until he finally feels her pussy throb.
“Oh does the little slut like it there? This new daddy found your gspot in such a short time, how bout that?” Changbin chuckles, slapping her cheek, not so hard or soft but it was enough ti send her head to the right. “You’re so fucking tight, what a fucking whore hole is this, fuck, fuck,” Changbin grunts with every thrust, his cock engulfed with warmness that he’s been craving.
“Tight. Fucking. Hole. Your daddy doesn’t fuck you enough,” he adds, dirty talking being just as much as a big weapon as his cock.
“Changbin, bin, fuck, fuck can’t,” she moans, sobbing at how hard Changbin’s fucking into her, the chair squeaking against the floor and her pussy making so much noise. She’s so fucking close.
“Can’t what, whore? You better fucking take it like a good girl,” Changbin says as he slaps her again, a little out of breath but his hips fucks into her deeper and harder, thumb now rubbing her clit in circles, y/n’s legs no longer strong enough to hold up on his waist but it doesn’t matter. Changbin’s cock feels so fucking big inside her and she knows she’s about to cum.
“Fuck, y/n. What fucking whore has such a tight hole,” Changbin growls, thumb rubbing her clit faster as he bends down to suck on her nipples.
“Bin, Changbin- fuck,fuck i need, need cum,” she screams, her walls tightening around his shaft, her head spinning at how amazing it feels to have her lover watch as she gets fucked by his subordinate.
“Need cum? Or need to - fuck, need to cum?” Changbin teases again, hips still thrusting in an unforgiving pace. “You better fucking cum now little whore,” Changbin spits out, feeling near orgasm himself but there’s no way in hell he’s gonna cum before this litle bitch does.
“Ple- please. Daddy, Seo Bin, need I need- Oh my fuck!” she babbles, mind empty from how good Changbin’s fucking into her while Dongseok watches silently. She can’t even make herself to focus on her lover because all she can feel is the stinging pain of their initials carved onto her skin and how Changbin’s monster cock is drilling into her cunt.
She’s in heaven. And that’s all she can think of as her walls convulse around Changbin’s cock, her whines filling up the room as she reaches her orgasm, feeling herself squirt for the first time in a while. “Cum, much cum, bin,” she tries to say but she feels so lightheaded, so good.
“Oh pretty girl squirts. What a nice surprise, God, you’re such a little whore,” Changbin praises in his own way, his hips still relentless, not even giving her a chance to breathe because it’s time for him to chase his high.
“Clenching so fucking tight- you’re nothing but a useless little cunt,” he groans, breathing heavily and the way her pussy is sucking him in makes it harder for him to give precise thrusts but he manages, in and out, in and out and finally he too surrenders to the pleasure, hips stuttering as he finally fills up her little hole with his cum.
“Take all of it. All my cum, you fucking slut,” he says with gritted teeth, the front legs of the chair hanging in the air for a bit with how hard his last thrust is.
Y/n’s cunt is still pulsing around his cock, his cum starting to spill out of her little hole and Changbin just smiles at the thought. His boss should know better than to think him as a lousy fuck because he just gave the mistress the orgasm of her fucking life.
The sound of cum dripping can be heard clearly amidst the silence in the room, save for the heavy breathing from the two of them. Changbin looks at Mr. Ma, weirdly feeling like he needs some sort of an approval from the older man.
The boss gets up, clearing his throat as he walks over to both of them “Pull out” he orders Changbin and a hum of approval leaves his lip as his “younger self” listens.
Buff man puts his palm under his lover’s pussy, making a cup as he looks at her “push it out, doll” he says darkly, eyes never leaving her face.
She lets out a whine as she lets Changbin’s cum drip down her now sore and spent pussy, the feeling of emptiness making her pout.
Once everything was out, Dongseok makes her sit back down properly and puts his hand close to her mouth “Lick it up, whore. Like the little slutty kitten you are”
Changbin’s head snaps towards his boss when he said those words, already feeling himself getting excited.
Turning to look back at y/n, a groan left his lips, seeing her drink his cum from his very intimidating boss’ hand like a kitty, looking up at him with those innocent eyes. That was enough for him to immediately get hard again, putting his hands in front of him to hide it.
But Dongseok notices it, of course he does. He lets out a chuckle, very sincere one at that “You can go again, then we can make her walk around the warehouse with your cum still in her pretty cunt.”
A little happy humm from y/n is all Changbin needs before he takes up on the offer. His new job is interesting indeed.

defrost (nsfw) kaeya x top!male reader
pronouns: he/him
warnings: ice play!! slight degradation, orgasm denial/ edging, top male reader, bottom kaeya
a/n: this was edited by @kamihara, she really outdone herself in this one, professional kaeya simp lol
_____
“to think such an honourable knight such as you, the cavalry captain of mondstat, is now begging to cum. how shameful of you,” you let out a low chuckle as a provocative smile broke out on your lips, “i wonder what citizens would say if they saw their beloved and oh so admirable kaeya in this position?”
as a captain of the ordo favonius, you were a bright figure to the people of mondstat. a person who aided in saving the city from destruction, one of the heroes that defeated storm terror. of course, other knights had nothing but respect for you as your skill and talent was nothing short of impressive. many looked at you with a high regard due to your strength and position, this meant that many were intimidated by your presence and therefore fear approaching you.
however, there was one person who disregarded this and stuck by you anyways, kaeya alberich, the cavalry captain. out of everyone in the knights of favonius, you were the closest with kaeya. you enjoyed his company a lot, he was an interesting person who knew how to keep a conversation going, and while you're with him you could never find yourself feeling bored. he was as charming as he was cunning.
kaeya found himself enjoying your company too. the two of you have done lots of things together. going on missions, getting away with “knighty” duty, babysitting klee, and drinking at angels share. you know, all the fun things in life.
kaeya was a secretive person, and while you were curious about him, you respected his boundaries. perhaps this was the reason why he drew you in, besides his blaringly good looks of course.
there was no doubt that the man was attractive from head to toe. his silky navy blue hair fell down his shoulder with grace, his fringe complemented his smooth, flawless sepia toned face. his periwinkle eye held the sheen of a crystal, glistening as his long eyelashes framed it with poise. the diamond shaped pupils his eyes possessed could leave you in a trance forever. his open white shirt left his cleavage on display, contrasted with the black corset around his slim, slim waist. his slender legs brought him around with confidence and charisma.additionally, the intricate accessories he wore suited his personality well. all in all, kaeya was a pretty little thing.
all of this lead up to you harbouring romantic feelings for the cavalry caption. how could you not feel anything? he was perfect in every way.
the sound of kaeya’s voice snapped you out of your thinking. “y/n, any missions today?”
“nothing for you i don’t think, i gotta help jean with the paperworks though.” you sighed at the thought of a mountain of paperwork.
“great, well i’m off then you have fun doing whatever.” kaeya smirked at you, poking fun at your dread.
he started to turn around and walk off but you had other plans.
“wait. kaeya-” you speak quickly.
“hm?” he hummed out.
“angels share? 9pm?”
a quizzical look washed over his face before he masked it with one of his cunning smiles.
“alright.”
little did kaeya know you had more in mind than just drinking with him tonight. today would be the day when you finally told him about your little crush on him.
night quickly arrived after a day of working with jean. you were pretty exhausted but still excited about what's about to happen later tonight. when you entered the bar, Kaeya was already waiting for you at the counter talking with the bartender, charles.
“ah, i see mr.l/n is here too. Your usual today as well sir?”
“yah that’d be nice, thanks charles.” you said as you took a seat next to kaeya
“you got it.” charles said as he left to go get your drink.
angel's share was the place you and kaeya loved the most. the kind of noisy background with people chatting. cyrus and jack talking about their gains for today, six-fingered jose still playing his lyre, the song was getting a little old but you didn’t mind, in fact if he changed the song you probably wouldn’t be used to it.
“so, what’s the special occasion for today? you usually don’t invite me to drink on weekdays.” kaeya said while swirling his drink and glancing over at you.
kaeya’s eyes always amazed you. you didn’t know the name of the grey-ish color but you could gaze into them forever. his smooth skin glowed under the dim lighting in the bar. you loved everything about the man, his dark blue hair, his perfectly shaped body, and the fact that you could see a little bit of his clothing. what kaeya said on the first day when you guys met was true, you did feel something for him.
“hm? can i not invite fellow knights to share a drink once in while without a special occasion.”
“well, not wrong there but…you seem like you have ulterior motives for tonight from the way you’re dressing.” kaeya said, smirking at you.
it was true, you purposely chose one of your best outfits today for kaeya, you wanted to impress the man not only from your combat skills, but also your looks. there was no secret you could hide from kaeya. he knew you too well and he always looked right through you. it could have just been kaeya’s observant nature but you like to hope it was something more than that.
“you’re right there, you really do know me too well, maybe i need to start hiding things from you a little huh?”
“you can try but i highly doubt it’ll work in your favour, mr.honorary knight.”
both of you looked at each other with a slight smirk as charles arrived with your drink. after drinking for a good while you could tell kaeya was getting a little tipsy. his movements were unstable, he shaked a little while walking and his eyes started to become hazy. what better time than right now to reveal your true plans for tonight, you were gonna fuck the shit out of the beautiful man. you wanted to hear him scream your name in pleasure as you break him, over and over again.
“why don’t we go somewhere else? y’know, somewhere more, quiet” you suggested while scooting closer to kaeya.
“i wouldn’t mind that.”
as soon as you heard those words you immediately got up and left with kaeya. your plan was going perfectly and the best part is about to come soon. kaeya wasn’t stupid, he was an adult afterall and he knew what you were trying to do. dressing up all sexy like that, getting drinks, going somewhere more “private”, what else could it have been.
the two of you arrived in your house and headed straight for your bedroom. kaeya has been to your house many times for many reasons and he knew where everything was so he didn’t trip or fall.
you placed a light kiss on kaeya’s lips while he laid on your bed.
“wait here~ i’ll be right back.”
this was where things would get, interesting
you opened your fridge to grab a small wooden bowl. the content inside was covered by a small white cloth. after grabbing that you went to grab some rope from a drawer you hid them in because you didn’t know what to say if someone saw those items in your house.
after bringing the items back you put them on the side and pushed kaeya down.
“what’re those?” he asked
(its a surprise tool that’ll help us later.)
“don’t worry about it sweetheart, just lay back and let me do the work alright?”
you brought a blush to kaeya’s face with your flirty words as he gave you a small nod, signalling you consent and approval. you kept invading kaeya’s mouth over and over again, you’re tongue so skillful kaeya was sure this definitely wasn’t your first time. the kisses ended after a while leaving both of you panting and a half an erection in your pants. wanting more, you began to take off kaeya’s uniform. his skin is so beautiful, you could also see his well defined body, just the perfect amount, not too buff, not too skinny. you licked your lips a little bit and looked up at kaeya with a smirk. when you put your mouth onto kaeya’s pink nipples, he squealed a little out of surprise but soft moans soon began to escape from his mouth.
“a-ah~ didn’t know you had this in you, honorary knight.”
“oh i know a lot more tricks that can make you feel good~” you teased.
as you continued to suck on kaeya’s smooth skin, you decided to spice things up a little bit. kaeya yelped as he felt a slight pain around his nipples. you remove your mouth to see a bite mark around it.
“to mark you as mine~”
“tch, you cocky little bastard.”
seeing the tent building up in kaeya’s pants, you decided to take them off and grant it some release. after you took off kaeya’s jeans you saw a small stain at the top of his boxers, showing that he felt good earlier.
“alright... this is where the fun part begins.” you said as you grabbed the ropes you initially put on the floor.
“restraining me? go ahead, let’s see if the honorary knight is all talk or he actually has something up his sleeve.” kaeya taunted
not liking his attitude, you forcefully tied kaeya’s hands behind his back and pushed him to the end of the bed facing you with nothing on but his boxers. now, the mighty kaeya alberich, is at your mercy.
“alright, we can do this in two ways. one, you listen to me, second, i don’t think you’ll like what’ll happen,”
kaeya raised his head a little and looked you dead in the eyes.
“i choose the second option”
you knew kaeya was the bratty type and it’ll only add to the fun to tame him. after hearing his choice you pushed kaeya back to where he was before and uncovered the bowl you had prepared earlier on the side. the bow was filled with medium sized ice cubes and it was till now that kaeya finally realized what you were trying to do.
“ice cubes huh? bring it on.”
“you asked for it~”
you grabbed one of the ice cubes and started to rub it on kaeya’s pecs, making circular motions and slowing moving towards the center where his nipples are.
“f-fuck that’s cold.”
you saw kaeya’s cock twitch a little when you first reached his nipples and you knew he was feeling good. moving on with your plan, you rested the ice cube on kaeya’s nipples and lifted his boxers where his cock is still covered but his asshole is exposed to you. right after that, you grabbed the lube that has been sitting in your nightstand and spread them on your fingers. without mercy you put 2 fingers into kaeya, trying to find his pleasure spot. sooner or later when kaeya started to let out tiny moans you knew you hit your target.
“feels good huh baby boy~”
“y-yah, and so what o-oh fuck~”
kaeya was sure feeling it, to a point where he started stuttering.
the constant teasing got kaeya close to his limit. he couldn’t hold it any longer. but you’re not gonna let him cum that easy are you? of course not, he needed to be punished for what he did earlier.
“a-ah y/n i’m gonna cum i’m gonna cum so hard- wait why'd you s-stop?” kaeya asked
“you decided to be a brat earlier didn’t you~? bad boys get punishment.” you said with a smirk on your face.
kaeya stayed silent, not a word coming out of his mouth, head hung low feeling embarrassed.
“to think such an honourable knight such as you, the cavalry captain of mondstat, is now begging to cum. how shameful of you,” you let out a low chuckle as a provocative smile broke out on your lips, “i wonder what citizens would say if they saw their beloved and oh so admirable kaeya in this position?”
“maybe~ if you begged a little i might reconsider, don’t you think so, pretty boy?”
kaeya finally lost his composure at this point, all he wanted was to cum from your touch.
“fine... i don’t care anymore.” kaeya growled.
“p-please y/n.” kaeya looked up at you with pleading eyes. “i want to c-cum, i want to cum so bad. i should’ve been a good boy from the beginning… i promise i’ll be obedient from now on, j-just please, let me cum…” kaeya begged
“that’s what i thought.”
satisfied with kaeya’s begging, you decided to grant him his release. you added another ice cube to the other side of kaeya’s chest while stroking his dick through his boxers. of course you didn’t forget to keep teasing kaeya’s prostate while you were at it. all these different stimulations made kaeya lose his mind. the male came through his boxers all over the place. semen spilled on his own stomach and chest followed with moans so loud the entire mondstat could hear him.
after he settled himself down a little, kaeya waited for you to untie him. you exchanged a kiss with him while you were doing so, smiling at each other thinking about what just happened. neither of you cared about the mess that you made because you guys were tired. listening to the birds chirp, you fell asleep with the dark blue haired male on your bed.
the two of you woke up in the afternoon to the noises of mondstat. you woke up a little before kaeya and from your point of view he was literally a sleeping beauty. you stroked his hair a little bit, causing him to wake up.
"y/n…good morning handsome."
"right back at you."
both of you giggled a little while holding hands.
"hey kaeya?"
"yes y/n."
"i've been meaning to get this off my chest and i don't think there will be a better time to say it than now."
"well go ahead, i'm all ears."
"you were the only one that ever stuck with me in the knights, everyone was afraid of me due to my strength except for you. you listened to me, you talked to me, and if it weren't for you i probably would've quit the job at the knights already." you took a deep breath and let out the words kaeya were waiting for.
"kaeya alberich... will you he my boyfriend?"
kaeya gave you a small scoff as a reaction and a light kiss to your lips.
"what reason do i have to refuse such a perfect man?."

This is a Wasteland, My Only Retreat.
The faint roar of the vehicle engine rumbled lowly as you sat in the driver seat of your car, both of your hands resting softly on the steering wheel. Your annoyed sigh released itself as your head turned to look at the sleek folder that laid in the seat next to you. You smirked to yourself as you averted your eyes back to the rusted standing building in front of you. The allure of the night caused the whole scenery to match the mood of this dreadful evening. Your eyes scanned over the area surrounding, four black cars parked to the left side of the building, the whole estate heavily guarded with about fifteen men, the soldiers. You stared for a bit before looking up to your rearview mirror and allowing your eyes to observe you. It was almost cliché the way you looked for the part you played. The way your features could kill a man alone and you knew that better than anybody. Reaching your hand into your purse that sat on your lap, you pulled out an item that was set to complete such a look of power,  your blood red lipstick. You moved closer to the rearview to get a better view as you applied a layer of the tint on your lips, bringing your character to life. You rubbed  your lips together and cleaned around the edges before your eyes naturally diverted to a dark figure walking towards your car.  You groaned in annoyance as you unbuckled yourself and grabbed the folder to the right of you. Turning your keys in the ignition off, you opened the car door, throwing your legs over onto the pebble ground, where the heels of your black boots met. Your whole appearance could have blended into how dark the night became as you wore black jeans and a black sweater, paired with your favorite black trench coat. The only color that could be determined was the deep red on your lips and the silver gun that hung by your side. 
“YAH Y/N!”  the voice of the figured called out and you heard the thick accent of an Australian native come through
You slammed the car door shut behind you as you inhaled the cool freshnes of the autumn night. Shifting your direction to the young man walking closer to you. He had a slim figure, soft blonde strands that fit his small face and hints of freckles that coated him. On a usual day, he would be smiling and spreading his contagious positivity. But on nights like this, he was different. We were different.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” He asked sternly, voice low and accent deep. You walked towards him with the folder in your hand.  
“Is that anyway to greet your elder, Felix?” You smiled back playfully, shoving the folder into his chest. He grabbed a hold of it flipping through the contents before looking back at you.
“How did you find out?” he sighed in defeat. 
“Well, I heard you caught a mouse,” You said as you started to walk towards the building,  with Felix following, “the cat wanted to play.”
“You shouldn’t be here, Y/N,  you know you can be comprom-” 
“Cut the bullshit Felix,”  You waved your hand,  pushing away the topic. “Just tell me what you know.”
Felix groaned and you looked over to him, stopping both of your tracks, “He was one of the associates. Caught taking pictures and asked too many questions.” 
“Is that why the soldiers are here?” You asked, arms crossing over your body. 
“Mhm. We don’t know which associate can be trusted, and didn't want to create more trouble.” 
You squinted in confusion at his statement and Felix bit his lip as if he was debating to reveal anymore. 
“We think he might be working with ‘Y’.” 
Y. The alias name of a mystery person who has had multiple failed attempts in trying to reel you out. Or reel out whoever they can in all honesty. Pathetic and yet intriguing, as you and your family have been on the hunt for this mystery person for the past 6 months. Your interest spiked up to the new found information. 
You laughed sinisterly as you turned back to walk towards the entrance of the building. “God, I love a good Friday night.” 
“Y/N, I’m serious. You really shouldn’t be here. We don’t know the multitude that ‘Y’ is working on,” Felix pleaded.
“So we find out.” You stated.
 “We are. YOU just can’t be here because Min-“ you stopped in front of the door to the warehouse and you turned around to Felix who cut himself off from finishing his sentence.
“Because what, Felix.” You gritted.
Felix sighed and looked at you. 
“Minho doesn’t want you here”
You clicked your tongue and scoffed in disbelief at the sentence. You felt the blood bubble in your veins as the adrenaline from anger rushed through you. 
“Last time I checked, Minho wasn’t my fucking boss.” 
You marched up to the warehouse doors and pushed it open. Felix following you as you both walked into the dark and musty place, smells of decaying animals and blood surrounded you immediately, which could have bothered any normal individual, but the smell was too natural for you. 
Straight ahead was a dim light shining on a profound scene. Your sight was captured by a man tied to a chair, hands cuffed behind him, blood hanging from the ends of his hair dripping down his cheeks and arms. Barely hanging on to whatever life he may have left, he raises his head to a man who you assumed performed such a violent assault. The man’s brown hair was sweat ridden and he wore his white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up.  On his hand sparkled a set of brass knuckles that he wiped off with his handkerchief. Walking closer, you witness the man as he swung his forearm back and connected another blow to the captured man's face, earning splatter of blood to the floor and a grunt from the victim. You scoffed softly as you approached such a disappointing scene. 
If it weren’t for the loud clicks of your heels to suggest your arrival, it could have been the dark demeanor you had when you came into the lit area and the man looked at you, first in surprise and then annoyance. It was hard to admit, but he was attractive, his muscles bore through his shirt and pants. His face was one that could ruin a woman. His dark sweaty hair stuck to his forehead from the work he put in for the night. He scoffed when he saw you and you crossed your arms over your chest and smiled at him. 
His eyes switched his gaze to Felix who approached behind you.
“You had... one job.” Stepping forward and raising his finger to emphasize Felix’s one job of the night, implying that it was to make sure you weren’t there.
Felix bowed his head in an apologetic manner and you laughed as you looked down at the floor and the back to the man.
“You’ve been relieved of your duties for the night Minho, you can go.” 
He laughed at you and came closer, “I’m not going anywhere.”
“It wasn’t a suggestion.” You stepped closer to him.
Minho paused and looked at you as you held his gaze sternly. He finally let up, cursing in the air, understanding the consequences of disobeying you. 
Minho turned to grab his coat and walked away calling out for Felix to come with him.
You breathed out in content and removed your coat. The man sitting in the chair raised his head slowly as he had heard your heels come closer to him. You grabbed his bloody chin and forced his head up to look at you as you examined to damage Minho had done. 
“Tsk tsk tsk, he really did a number in your face.” You let go of his chin and he hung his head low again. 
“Who are you?”
“Who am I?” You smiled at the question asked, “I can be whoever you want me to be.”
The man raised his head slightly as he saw you walk over and grab an empty chair, pulling it to sit across from him. You sat down and crossed your leg over the other one and pulled out a box of cigarettes from your back pocket, along with a lighter. You pulled a cigarette out with your mouth and lit it as you inhaled deeply. The smoke burning the back of your throat, almost sobering you for a second.
 “Who am I?”  you reiterated, “ Well truthfully, I don’t think that’s as important. I actually came here cause I wanted to get to know you more”
“I already told the man before that I don’t know anything.” 
You sucked in air as you pulled the cigarette out from your lips “See I could believe that, however, I know that’s not true, right... Danny?”
You paused as you saw no reaction, “ … or is it better to call you...SungHo.” 
He looks at you in immediate terror and you smile, inhaling another drag.
“How do you-“
“Kim SungHo, father to two beautiful young girls, Mina, 3,  and Hyerin, 5. A loving husband to Kim Ji Hye for 10 years. Congratulations, your anniversary was last month right?” You asked innocently as you watch the man in front of you begin to widen his eyes to your knowledge. 
You pulled another drag from the cancer stick, “A former professional photographer. You had your own business that went bankrupt, right? So you opted into your dangerous pleasures to feed your girls, huh?”
“I was just doing what I can,” He mumbled.
“Life in prison without parole. I heard they were even considering the death penalty for the men they found, men like you, right SungHo?” You scooted closer to him as you watched a tear roll down his face. 
“Did you like taking photos of those girls? Did you like watching them beg for their lives?”
He cried and choked on his own tears as you stood up and flicked the cigarette to the ground and stomped on it to put it out. 
“Tell me who you work for SungHo.”
“I can’t” he choked out.
“Oh SungHo, you don’t want to make me mad. I’m worse than that man before. Way worse.”
Sungho just cried and you grew intolerable to the minutes that past as you waited for information. You knew that beating him the way Minho did was foolish. So you did the one thing none of those bastards could ever. You grabbed your gun and cocked it back aiming for his head as he cried softly. You notice the lack of adrenaline, the almost inviting acceptance he was having to a moment of death you could implicate. So you moved your aim towards his groin.
“STOP! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” he screamed. 
“Tell me who you work for Sungho, my patience is at an all time low.”
“I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME, HE WENT BY Y!”
“What did he want?”
“HE WANTED TO KNOW IF THE LEE FAMILY WAS STILL OPERATING, HE ASKED ME TO TAKE PICTURES AND FIND OUT WHO THE BOSS IS. TOLD ME TO BECOME AN ASSOCIATE TO DO IT!”
“When’s the next time you’ll see him?” He paused and you lowered your gun and fired a gunshot right into his crotch. He screamed in pain and you aimed your gun back at his head. 
“ANSWER ME!”
“HE DIDN’T SEE ME, HE CALLED ME. TOLD ME TO GO TO THE TRAIN STATION AND DROP OFF MY CAEMRA BY THE HOUSE WITH THE MAILBOX!” he cried out as he looked down and saw the blood dripping from his crotch. “PLEASE, HE SAID HE’D KILL MY FAMILY IF I DON’T DO THIS! PLEASE!”
You stepped back and relaxed yourself as you had found all the information you needed. You stood back looking at him as your mind thought back to the kids he had. You can’t protect them y/n. You watched as Sungho cried out in the pain as he bled. Your curiosity got the better of you in the moment as you twirled your gun.
“Did you find out who the boss was?” 
Sungho breathed out heavily,“I took pictures of the man before you.” 
You smiled in disbelief, “and you believe him to be the boss of the Lee Family?”
“The associates say that he is the only one they have seen and fits the description of the son of Lee Won-Shik.” He looked up at you and your face went pale. 
That name. One that you knew too well. Your father’s name.
You aimed the gun back at his crotch and fired another bullet in anger. SungHo screamed and gritted as blood began to pool from his groin area, surely ending whatever reproduction system he had left.
“I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING.” 
“I know, it’s a shame.” 
The pain you inflicted caused you to wonder how painful it could have been. You just watched him bleed out and scream as he begged you for help. You turned and saw the camera lying on the table and you walked over to pick it up. You scrolled through pictures of Minho leaving offices and greeting people, people who worked for your family for years. Any leakage of this information could be detrimental. The whole thing put a sour taste in your mouth. 
“Unfortunately Sungho, you won’t be dropping off this camera tomorrow.”
“NO, NO, PLEASE!” 
“It’s a shame. A man who watches girls younger than your own daughters be taken from their families and exploited in such a distasteful manner… makes me sick.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” You walked over and you cocked your gun back again as you aimed the gun to his head. 
“Also, Lee Minho doesn’t run this family,”
You turn to Sungho who was crying in pain and pulled the trigger of your gun watching his head fall back as blood and pieces of his head splattered, coating the wall and floor behind you both. You move away and placed your gun back in your holder as you turned back to grab your coat, walking toward the exit. Leaving Sungho’s dead body to bleed out. 
“I Do.” 
**********
Outside, you see four men talking as you closed the large door behind you. Their views shifted on you and you watched as Minho walked up to you in anger.
“Three gunshots. You killed him.” He spat. 
“He saw my face.”
“I had everything under control.” 
“An interrogation that lasted two hours is your version of under control? What kind of questions did you ask Minho? What kind of camera does he use? Can he get you a deal at Best Buy?” you mocked.
“Like he told you anything! You were in there for 30 minutes and now we have a dead man and no information, I bet. I bet you killed him because he disrespected you as a woman! I know that really gets your blood boiling and you act like a deranged child!”
“Do you want a demonstration?” You grabbed your gun and aimed it at him until you hear a yelling from behind Minho. 
“GUYS SERIOUSLY.” You turned your eyes to the boy who yelled out at you and sighed as Minho began to relax is demeanor. “We are family, we shouldn’t be fighting like this.” 
“Seungmin’s right, we could be in a world of trouble and we need to work together now.” Felix reassured as he walked up to you and Minho and pushed your gun down. 
You walked up to the group as Minho avoided eye contact with you. You stood next to Seungmin who was looking at you with caring eyes. You smiled because he was the type to always bring down the heat of conversations and make everyone regroup. Next to you stood a smaller boy, with blue hair. He had a soft fox like face and you smiled at him as he admired you. 
“What information did you find?” The younger one asked you and you nodded. 
“He worked for ‘Y’ in exchange for immunity to his crime charges to come later this week. That camera is supposed to be delivered tomorrow at the train station on the west side but unfortunately there’s been a delay.” You looked the boys who were nodding their heads all except Minho. 
“And I saved both of are asses tonight, Minho. The associates are talking a lot among themselves, they believe you are the alleged son of my father. He has pictures of you meeting with secret partners. Had I kept him alive, our secret would have been revealed and the Hwang family would had found you, not just ‘Y’.” You informed. 
“Thank you.” he muttered. 
“Everyone report tomorrow 9 AM sharp. Seungmin put together a strategy plan for going forth on the ‘Y’ issue. Felix  dispose of the body near the train tracks, make sure you make a note for ‘Y’ to see. Minho,-”
Minho looked at you carefully having calm down from the interaction earlier, “Kill all the associates. None of them can be trusted.”
The boys all parted was and the youngest member stood by your side looking to you innocently. “What would you like me to do?” 
“I need you to go find Sungho’s family and bring them to safety tonight. Don’t tell the others about it Jeongin, keep your tracker on. Take your soldiers with you.” Jeongin nodded and you hugged him close as he went off. 
You walk towards your car and your phone dings in your coat pocket. You pulled it out and read the message that flashed across the screen. 
“Just got on to my connecting flight, see you soon ❤️-HJ” 
You smiled and put your phone back into your pocket, as you opened and sat in your car, ready to go home.
*************
You opened the oven and was blasted with a rush of heat as you removed the roasted potatoes in the pan and placed it on your stove top. The sound of the ongoing sizzle was still coming from the potatoes drowned out by the soft playing of jazz that you had in the background on your speaker. To the left of your view was the  piece of steak you had searing on your pan. It had been a while since you had a nice home cooked dinner. It had been a while since you two have eaten together like this. It had been a while in general. Since you last saw him, leaving you a kiss, one that you still remember fleshed on your lips, and watched him drive away. Just the thought of you two being in the same room made your stomach flip. He was captivating in the sense that he could make you drown in his aura and remove everything around you. It was like you were light like a feather, floating around him, and he was the gentle hand that caught you every time. You blushed to yourself, deep in thought as you began to place the food on the plates you had grabbed from the cabinet above you, remembering how incapable you were when reaching all the dishware in your house, becoming grateful for the way he towered you and helped you in these moments.
You just missed him. And it was difficult for you to admit to yourself that he made you feel secured. There was always fear when you thought of him and how you felt towards this man only to be reminded of how deep of a hole you dug for yourself. Your heart ached every time you had to remind yourself what your true mission was, what the point of this relationship meant. And yet, you pushed it all away. You turned an eye to the ratchet truth because you needed more time. It was a constant fight between heart and mind. Playing a double character all this time exhausted you even when you felt like you were completely and unapologetically yourself in front of this man.
You carried the plates over to your small dining room table and placed them at each end. Stepping back, you absorbed the smallness of the dining room area in your home. You laughed as you took in the lack of luxury in the space, and the lack of luxury in general. You lived comfortably, you never felt drowned in bills, you never went hungry. You had a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in. And yet, if anyone were to ever find out about your true income, they’d wonder why you opted to live in a one story house on the north side of town. You were able to buy the whole damn country if you wanted to. You were able to live a life of luxury and protection, but this is what he wanted. He wanted to show you that he is not who he really is and you acted like you didn’t know what he did, who he was. All these years, he played a character too. That’s how you knew that he loved you the same, if not more. You knew that in order to be with you, he had to tell you, because you had to know what it meant when you took his last name. But in his secrecy, you saw the need of protecting you from a world you already knew so much about and also the aching to hide away and be normal. 
You sighed as you reached over to the bottle of wine you had on the table. You unscrewed the bottle and grabbed your glass as you poured yourself a decent amount of red lush. You raised the glass to your lips as you walked slowly to the mirror on the back wall of your dining room. You looked at yourself, watching how the simple silk black dress hung loosely down your chest. Smiling, as the silk draped over your breasts teasingly and stopping just inches from your knees. Your hand caressed your collarbone, down to your chest as you rose your other arm to bring the glass of wine back to your lips. You drifted your eyes from the mirror to your drink as you took another sip of the sweet liquid. It was almost alarming the way your attention was brought back to the mirror when a figure appeared in your peripheral. Your eyes widened in shock as your breath sucked in rather quickly. You looked at the man through the mirror, as he stood long and tall. Dressed in a pair of freshly pressed black slacks, a white long sleeved satin shirt, and blonde straight hair that was tied in his most comfortable form. Half up with two strands caressing over his face. His complexion was such a creamy tone and had a natural airbrush effect. His thick pink lips were painted on his face with intent to make a woman go insane. His eyes were sharp hiding his dark orbs that made your heart flutter. 
Ethereal would be an understatement to describe him. He simply was created by all the gods.
He smiled softly at your longing gaze through the mirror, sticking his hands in both of his slack pockets,  tongue drifting over his bottom lip naturally. 
“I didn’t hear you come in,” you managed to choke out as you turned around swiftly to now face him.
“Should I have knocked?” The sound of his voice was honey and danced through your ears. It almost made you shudder. You exhaled a breath at his comment as he began taking small steps towards you, looking at the mess you made in the kitchen. “What’s all of this?” 
“I made dinner.” You sat the glass of wine on the table as you felt your skin tremble with anticipation as he made his way over to you. 
“What did you make?” He was so close, voice dropping volume as he walked closer to you.
“I-I made s-steak and p-potatoes,” closer.
“Mmm,” he hummed and got closer.
“and s-some salad-d…” closer.
Until there he was, in front of you. Eyes finally connected, his natural scent and cologne invading your sense of smell, you wanted to drown in it. The heat of his body could be felt on your own as he kept taking steps, making you stumble back until your back was against the wall. He removed a hand from his pocket and placed his fingertips on your forearm, brushing softly, slowly and teasingly dragging his fingertips up your arm as you felt goosebumps form.
“I thought maybe we could, sit and eat..”
Fingertips now close your neck, grazing over your shoulder blade. He tilted his head and his eyes looked down at your body and slowly came back to match yours. He hummed at your words and you eagerly let him stroke over your sensitive neck. It felt like years since you’ve been touched and the thought of him taking you, all of you,  flooded not just your mind, but your core. 
“That all sounds very nice but,” he paused as his fingers slid up to your chin pulling it gently to face him as he started down at you. He was now  centimeters over your face, you were convinced you could already feel his lips graze yours. “I’m actually craving something a bit more….sweet.” 
You were almost in euphoria, your mind was clouded with anticipation and desire. Lust was dripping down your legs and you were falling down a hole. Everything around you went black and it felt like it was just you and him. You barely heard the words that came out of his mouth.
“there’s ice cream in the freez-“ 
“Just kiss me.” 
You nodded frantically as he pushed into you against the wall. One of his hands slamming against the wall, the other wrapped around your waist as he brought you closer to his craving body. You had your arms wrapped around his neck pulling him deeper. His lips molded over yours in such an artistic way. It was simply amazing the way you two fit into each other, as if the heavens created you from the same strand of souls. One in body, spirit, and mind, you both became. You longed for the taste of him and it was as if on cue, he connected his tongue with yours, deepening your kiss. There was so much fire and passion, it was as if you two were begging for this. You moaned into him, feeling the vibrations against his lips as he pulled away from you to catch his breath. Eyes hooded, orbs dark and the light of the room stinging your sight as he moved his head to pepper kisses on your bare neck. Your body responded to him by tilting your head to the side and he used his free arm to slip down the back of your thigh, hiking your leg to his hip. The wetness of his tongue coating the hidden veins of your neck as he nipped softly, earning the sounds of your moaning. You felt his hard aching dick push near your core as his fingertips brushed further up your dress, barely touching where you needed him the most. He pulled back, panting and eyebrow cocked up at you as you licked your lips craving his delicious taste again.
“No underwear?” You felt your blood run cold as you remembered your lack of undergarments under the dress. You knew this was how you two would end up but your mind had erased every detail you had planned the moment he revealed himself to you. You just smiled seductively to him as he growled.
“I know my baby girl didn’t think she was going to tease me tonight.” 
In one fluid motion, you were lifted off the floor, legs around his torso as he carried you to your kitchen island sitting you on the cold surface, your bare ass touching the marble and you hissed at the sudden feel. He wasted no time pushing all your dishware away and you heard the sounds of metal crashing to the ground, as he made room for you to lay. 
“Normally you would have been punished for that,” he uttered referring to your attempt to edge him on. He pushed you back so you could lie on the counter, you grunt as you felt the shivers down your spine. He pushed the  fabric of your dress up, revealing your dripping  heat. He nearly groaned as he saw the way you glisten and wasted no time taking his long finger to drag  up your slit. You arched your back in delight as your pussy throbbed painfully for him. He leaned over your body, lips close to your ear as he let a low hot breath.
“But I’m fucking starving.” 
You watched as he leaned down your body and bent his knees to make himself align face to face with your core. He never broke your gaze as he did so and you hitched a breath as you felt his velvet lips kiss your inner thigh.
“Don’t tease,” you moaned out involuntarily. It was all too much, your mind was so foggy and you heard his low chuckled.
“I have to savor every part of my meal, babe”  his hot breath hit your wet lips and your breathing heightened. It was agonizing.
A sigh of relief and a cry from your lips rang out as he dragged his long hot tongue over your slit, collecting every drop of arousal you produced and laying flat against your throbbing clit. Your hands immediately rested on his head, fingers intermingling with his soft hair. You pulled yourself up in reaction as he lapped you sensually, drinking you, eating you. You were a mess, eyes shut and rolled to the back of your lids. Intoxicated by the way he performed. He looked up at you as you cried and heaved, sweating beads forming from the edges of your hairline. Profanities slipping from your mouth with every movement he made against you. You felt his tongue part your slit and insert inside of you, lapping all he could, moaning into you. You laid back and groaned, hips bucking up at him to chase more. Licking his way back up to your needy clit, he took the bud into his mouth, sucking and licking it. You felt two of his long digits slip into you with ease and stretching you out. 
“Oh my fucking god.” You cried out as you felt him bring you close to your edge. The white hotness built in the pit of your stomach and your legs began to shake. You felt his fingers curl inside you and he lapped deliciously, eyes looking at you as you held on to his head. He smiled as he saw your fucked out face and your mouth was opened, loss of words. He pulled back from your pussy and replaced his ministrations  with his thumb as he kept fingering you. Leaning forward he kissed you, your juices coating his face as you tasted yourself on him. He moaned when you arched your self into him and he pulled back to look at you. He knew you wanted to cum. He could feel the way your walls pulsated against his fingers and saw how fast your chest was rising and falling. Licking his lips he came closer your face, forehead resting on yours, one hand now pushing your hips down and the other fucking you into ecstasy.
“Cum for me baby girl.” He pecked your lips softly as you moaned “Cum for daddy.” 
Your body spazzed and you cried out to him as he enclosed your cries by kissing you passionately. His fingers slowed down their pace and pumped into you deeper, thumb grazing over your worn out clit, which made you convulse every time he flicked over it. He pulled back and stood over you, pulling his fingers out of your dripping core. You tried to catch your breath as he raised his fingers to his lips and slipped them into his mouth. You watched as he sucked your taste of him. It made your cheeks flush red and grow needy again watching the erotic scene. 
“I missed the way you taste,” he smiled at you. You smiled back and found the strength to raise your body to him, sitting up and grabbing his belt loops pulling him closer to you. He bent down and cupped your face as he kissed you again. Your hands fiddling with his belt and buttons of his pants frantically, craving his dick more than ever. You wanted to watch him come undone the way he did with you. As you started to unzip his pants he pulled back and placed his hands over yours. Your innocent eyes looking into his in confusion as he held your hands away from his pants. He knew what you wanted to do, but he had other plans.
“Later, love. Right now I just wanna be inside you” he said softly. You smiled and he resumed, taking his pants off along with his underwear. You watch as his hard dick sprung out of the fabric and you gasped in delight. He wasn’t big or small, but the perfect length, the perfect girth. You licked your lips in the thought of being filled by his cock. He took a hold of his dick  and rubbed up and down your slit, coating himself with your cum. You groaned due to your sensitivity and lied back down on the counter again.
“I can’t wait to ruin you” he stated as he inserted himself into you. 
“Oh my god, Hyunjin.” You slipped his name out for the first time of the night. His hands slammed on the side of your head, as he hung his head low by your neck, stretching you out. You heard his sighs and groans in your ear. He slipped an arm under your head, pulling you close to him and you gripped his shirt as he whimpered, “Even after all that and your still so fucking tight.” 
He snapped his hips into and you yelped. He groaned into your neck and his free hand found yours as he intertwined his fingers with yours. 
“Faster, daddy” you whimpered.
He lifted his head to look at you, “You want it faster, love?” 
He was pumping in and out of you slow and deep. His body melding into yours and your juices slipping out, pooling under you. You bit your lip at his question and you nodded. He pushed his way up and towered you again, grabbing a hold of your legs firmly. He began to quicken his pace as the room was filled with the slapping of skin. The feeling of him inside you was immaculate and you cupped your breasts through your dress as your mouth slipped out anything that came to mind.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck” 
“You like that baby girl, you like when I fuck you like this?” 
Your back arching off the counter again as Hyunjin fucked you into another world. It was almost impossible for this man to not bring you into a state of bliss. Each snap of his hip hit you in exquisite ways. His deep grunts and moans sent bubbles in your stomach you watched as he would roll his head back to the pleasure you gave him. The way he spoke to you in moments like this were difficult to overcome. You could cum just by his words alone.
“God y/n you feel so fucking good.” 
You could feel the pit of your stomach grow light again. Your walls began to pulsate around him and he could feel that you were chasing your second orgasm of the night. He smirked at you as you began to convulse, feeling the white heat rise to your ears.
“Are you gonna cum again, love? Am I making you feel that good?” 
“Yes Hyunjin, fuck, you’re fucking me so good...” 
“God dammit.” He growled. 
Everything paused for a second as Hyunjin grabbed you off the counter, still inside of you, and he carried you to the dining room, kicking one of the chairs out for him to sit on. He sat down bringing you on top of him, slamming down on his slick member. 
“AHH,” you moaned, tossing your head back at the different angle you had of him.
His hands rested in your ass and he leaned into your ear, “fuck yourself to oblivion, love”
You nodded as you rested your hands on his shoulders. You began to rock yourself back and forth on his dick, moaning loud. His hands helped you as you felt your orgasm grow closer and you began to lose your strength. 
“Come on baby, give it to me,” you rocked faster and faster and soon you felt your orgasm inch closer. The pit of your stomach churned and the walls of your pussy clenched. “That’s it baby, cum for me.�� 
You cried out again and you felt your lower half give out to the intensity of your orgasm, you stopped moving for a second as you breathed in heavily trying to catch your breath. Hands still resting on Hyunjin’s shoulders and head hanging low, you felt so light, so spent. Hyunjin gripped your hips and began snapping his hips up into you, your eyes shut tightly as you gripped him, screaming. Your head now resting on his shoulders, body almost limp to the overwhelming orgasm you just had. Hyunjin fucked into you like a mad man, having not reached his high yet. You moaned into his ear at the overstimulation as he grunted to you. You finally felt like you had enough strength to finish him off and you began rocking yourself back to meet his thrusts.
“FUCK” he yelled as you didn’t let up. Your lips found the skin under his ear and you lapped and sucked on it tasting the sweat that formed in his neck from tonight.
“I’m gonna fill you up so fucking good.” 
You smiled against his skin as his thrust grew sloppy. Your lips moved to his ear and you placed a soft kiss before whispering, “do it, baby.”
He groaned on cue and whimpered as he snapped his hips into you hard. You felt the warm spurts of his cum hit your walls inside you and you didn’t let up to the way you rocked against him, wanting to milk him dry. He gasped and tried to hold you still, unable to handle the sensations. 
“Fuck, oh my god y/n,” he sighed as you stopped overstimulating him and just sat there in the chair with him still inside you.
You raised your head to look at him, both of you  fucked out, and you smiled as you leaned in and kissed him again. He cupped your face into the kiss and held you there. The heat radiating of your sweaty bodies and the smell of sex filled the air as the both of you kissed each other with so much need. Pulling back slowly, you rested your forehead against his with your arms around his neck.
“I am never leaving for that long ever again” he stated and you laughed as you moved a piece of his hair off his sweaty forehead, fingertips lightly touching his vein that the top that always came out when he was working hard like that.
“You were gone for a week” you responded and he pecked your lips a few more times and moaned softly.
“A week too long” he smiled and caressed your lower back as you still sat on him. “I missed you too much” 
“You’re back now, and I’m not letting you go anywhere” you kissed his nose cutely and he pulled you in for another kiss.
“Sorry about dinner.” 
“It’s okay, I’m glad you got what you were craving” he smiled.
“Oh honey, that was just an appetizer” he stated as he lifted you both up off the chair. You felt him grow hard again inside you as you laughed. He kicked his pants off his ankles and began walking you to your living room. Finding your couch, he laid you down and kissed your neck as you giggled. He pulled back and made a goofy smile as you reached your hand to caress his face. He tilted his head to kiss your fingertips softly as you smiled adoringly to him. 
“I love you so much y/n”  He leaned in to hover over your lips and your heart skipped a beat to his words.
Because you knew that no matter what, you were falling into that hole, deeper and deeper. And you didn’t know if you wanted to escape, no matter the consequences. Because this, here like this, with him was all you wanted. For the rest of your life. 
“I love you too Hyunjin.”

Not knowing what real love is, not knowing where and who to get it from until he meets someone... something that could possible change him and his life all together. But it'll take a real good woman to do so. a/n: second installment of this Ransom fic. I hope you all love it. if you see mistakes, no you didn't. this was written on my phone and not thuroughly proofread. whoopsie.
Homecoming Dance was just around the corner and I was the lucky member of staff to be a chaperone. Voluntold as they like to say. I had no choice but to agree. Not like I had anything planned for the weekend, especially Saturday night.
“Tickets will be sold at the day of the dance. And if any one has someone that would like to volunteer for the dance to be a chaperone, please contact me or the principal or even Mr. Levinson,” I said, putting my number up with the principal and Mr. Levinson number.
“Please let them call or text us before Friday, please!” I expressed, the bell ringing. Dismissing the class, I smiled at each one and waved them off.
Sighing softly, I sat down at my desk and sat back against the chair. Spinning slowly toward the board and looking at the names of those that needed to turn in late assignments.
“I’ve gotten four calls in the last hour,” Ari said, sitting at a student desk that was in front of mine. His hands gripping the front of it as he sat. He chuckled softly. “All of them women. But I did say yes to all of them,” he muttered, leaning back against the seat.
I smiled at him, shaking my head as I watched him. “Well aren’t you so lucky. It must be because they think their kids' teacher is very attractive. I haven’t gotten any!” I said, soon hearing my phone vibrate on my desk. Scared me too. “Looks like my luck is about to change!”
“Hello?” I answered, a familiar voice on the other end. “Hu- Ransom! Hi there. You’d like to…. Chaperone? Didn’t peg you for the chaperone type. For a high school homecoming dance,” I teased, I could see Ari lifting his brow.
“Yeah well, I don’t have much to do on a Saturday night,” Ransom said. He did, but he’d much rather get to know her.
“Well, I’ll put your name down. I’ll even use ‘Ransom’ as preferred name,” I said, smiling as I wrote his name down. “Great. Saturday. 5 pm. Sound good?” I confirmed and he answered ‘yes’. “See you then,” I said, hanging up.
Ari looked at me, smiling wide as he let out a soft chuckle. “Was that… you flirting?” He asked, tilting his head slightly.
“What? No. He’s cute but no. Agh, maybe. He drove up next to me when I was walking to my car. Said he wanted to make sure I got in my car safely,” I confessed, smiling softly to myself. My eyes glanced at Ari, who was just watching me thoughtfully.
“Seems he might think you’re cute too,” he said, soon standing to his feet and smiled softly. “See you Saturday,” he said, knocking his knuckle on my desk before exiting.
SATURDAY NIGHT --
The weekend had finally rolled by. Every student telling me about their dresses, suits, and other forms of attire they were planning to wear. Some even showing me pictures. I was happy my students were excited to show me, that they liked me enough to share.
Having been sent home to get dressed, I took the opportunity to look nice. After all, Ransom was going to appear. If he did. Shit. He might’ve changed his mind. Decided chaperoning was something dumb to do on a Saturday night.
‘Why are you even worried? Why do you even care? Jeez,’ I thought, shaking my head. The thoughts fleeting as I applied my mascara. Doing the final touches to the natural looking make up I decided to do.
I had dressed in the knee length red dress that had a floral pattern and the sleeves weren’t that long; cutting at the middle of my upper arms, strings tied into a not so perfect bow.
I slipped on my nude, two inch heeled sandal. The one that didn’t have the strap that wrapped around my ankle. Looking myself in the mirror, I fixed my dress. Leaving my bed room, I made it to the front door of my apartment. Unlocking the door and grabbing my small purse in the process. I walked out and made my way down the stairs, happy I only lived on the second floor.
Getting into my car, immediately locking the door, I started it up and leaned against the seat while pulling on my seatbelt.
I made to the school in time, an hour before the gym doors opened for the dance. Getting out of my car, I locked it and rounded the back of my car when I heard someone say my name. Walking up next to me, Ransom slowed. Wearing a tan overcoat, a Persian scarf, and cable knit sweat underneath with slacks for his pants. His shoes a light brown to tie in the tan jacket. I smiled at him, while his lips turned up slightly.
“Wow. You clean up very nice,” I said, smiling warmly. “Wasn’t sure if you were actually gonna show up.”
He tilted his head at me, as if I was joking.
“Only because… who really wants to spend their Saturday night… chaperoning a high school dance,” I explained further, walking with the male toward the entrance of the gym.
“Wasn't too sure, either. Dances were never my thing unless I had a hot date and we hooked up behind the bleachers on the track field,” Ransom said, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched me. His eyes scanning me.
“Well, I definitely owe you one for coming. We only have you and another guy chaperoning today. Most are women. I was voluntold to be here,” I said, chuckling softly as we approached the gym. One of the yearbook committee kids at the table with another person; assuming someone to keep her company.
They greeted me, and I smiled at them. “Hi Maxine. Hi Danny,” I said.
Ransom opened the door for me and I walked in. He was soon beside me again, as if not wanting to get lost. “Don’t worry. It’s very hard to lost in a school like this,” I teased, walking to the large group of women that surrounded the refreshment table.
“All right, I’ll be giving everyone their duties! I have about ten of you. This is great! Oh, hey!” Ari was speaking to the group, waving at me when he saw me. “About time!” He exclaimed, eyes shifting to the male beside me.
“You must be Hugh Drysdale,” Ari said, “I’m Ari Levinson. Welcome!” He continued, looking at the list on his clipboard. I could have sworn I told Ari to call Hugh Ransom.
“It’s Ransom! Don’t call me Hugh,” Ransom said, smirking softly as he eyed Ari that soon shifted his gaze toward me then back to Ransom.
“Sorry man. Ransom. Got it,” Ari confirmed, and I nudged Ransom softly. I smiled and I could see his lips slowly turning into a smile.
Calling my name, Ari said, “I want you and Ransom at the refreshment areas. Around an hour in, we’ll rotate so everyone can get a chance to dance if they’d like to. Vilma,” he continued, telling the other ladies where they’d be.
“You look really beautiful tonight,” Ransom said as we walked around the table to set up the cups of punch. I smiled, letting a small chuckle escape my lips.
“Thank you,” I said, filling the last cup that would fit on the table.
The lights soon dimmed, the DJ playing a song as kids started to flow the gymnasium. Some dancing to the fast beats of the new music, some throwbacks being played. I continued to fill cups of punch, Ransom busy at the side of me and handing out plates of food. From the stage, I saw Ari come up to the mic. “Staff and volunteers, time to switch,” he said, telling the DJ to keep up the good work.
Ransom and I moved to the side as Vilma and Jackie took over the table. We covered the exit nearest us and that’s when a random slow song began to play.
“Wanna dance?” Someone said, and I looked to my left to see a student. Hand extended. “Why it’d be an honor!” I exclaimed, taking it and glancing at Ransom. Making my way to the dance floor with Frankie, I rested my hands on his shoulders as he didn’t quite have a growth spurt just yet. His hands rested in between my hips and waist.
“Sorry kid, but imma cut in. She owes me a dance,” Ransom interjected, hand on the kids shoulder. The kid nodded, stepping to the side and that was when Ransoms moved from my hip to his arm wrapping around my waist, his free hand taking mine and letting my other hand wrap around his neck.
“Why, Hugh. Didn’t know you could dance,” I said, smiling softly as I watched his features lighten.
“Hmm. Dancing is fun when you have someone beautiful as your partner,” he said, and I had to shake my head. Eyes looking into his, hand wrapped in his, my other playing at the hairs at the nape of his neck. It was a surreal moment.
In the corner of my eye, I could see Ari in the corner of the gym. Eyes locked on me. When I made eye contact with him, he smiled and looked away to tend to a task the he saw on his clipboard.
The song soon ended, and we drilled our movements. Eyes staring into his, I licked my lips nervously as his hand moved from my frame and his hand cupped my cheek.
“I don’t know… why or how, but for some reason I couldn’t get you out of my mind,” he muttered, eyes slowly drifting to my lips.
“I know your type Ransom Drysdale. And I will not be played,” I whispered, slowly moving from his trance. “One more dance?” I asked, continuing to play with his hair. He nodded in agreement, pulling me close.
From what I research about Ransom was that he was a playboy, a womanizer. Why was he so sudden in wanting to kiss me (at least I assumed he wanted to)? To be near me? To have his mind filled with thoughts of me? It burned in the back of my head. My guard was up, and it would never come down around Ransom. Not now, anyway.

Title: Duplicity. 
Word Count: 2.6k
Written for an anonymous commissioner.
Paring: Yandere!Hanako/Reader & Yandere!Tsukasa/Reader.
Synopsis: The afterlife is very, very lonely. It effects come spirits more than others, but Hanako’s gotten close to so many humans, and he’s been left so many times... You can hardly blame him for wanting to be selfish. You can’t fault Tsukasa for wanting to keep his favorite toy close, either. 
TW: Death, Graphic Violence, Blood, Imprisonment (via Ghost Mechanics), and Emotional Manipulation.
Tumblr media
No one should have to watch themselves die.
You guess you didn’t, really. Or, you did, but you didn’t watch as closely as you could have. You’d like to say that you faced your end bravely, that you were cunning and quick and did your damnedest to make sure your assailant left your encounter only slightly better off than you did, but you’d never been one for self-flattery. As soon as you realized you couldn’t escape, as soon as you’d caught the glimpse of something glinting in the dim, flickering school lights and managed to put a name to it, you’d clenched your eyes shut, threw your arms over your face, and begged for mercy. You could remember the pain, if you wanted to, the intensity of it, but you don’t try to. You could recall the feeling of your own blood flowing over your fingertips, but you’d really rather not. You know that, one moment, there was something, and the next, there was nothing. Black, frigid nothing. For a few seconds, you couldn’t think of anything worse than that nothingness.
And then, there was something, and you realized there were things much, much worse than nothing.
You think you would’ve found a way to stay dead, if you knew he’d been the one to kill you.
He’s still bent over your unmoving body when you reform, on your knees and beside yourself, your skin translucent and your chest so much more hollow than it used to be. You let yourself linger on the sensation for a moment or two, attempting to inhale and exhale before realizing how odd it feels to breathe when you don’t have to. You’re still caught up in the change when your attention drifts, first to the dark stains littered across the tile floor, obscured by the darkness, and then to… yourself. What used to be you. You, but not you.
Dead you, with a familiar knife still rooted in its diaphragm, and a familiar boy straddling its waist.
It’s disorienting. He isn’t panting, but his chest is heaving in silent, uneven sobs and his eyes closed as tightly as yours had been. With one hand clamped around the hilt of his knife and the other pressed to the ground, supporting his nonexistent weight, he draws his weapon out, then with only a slight hesitation, he plunges it back in. Out, then in, again and again and again until something breaks underneath him, your ribs caving in with a sickening crack. His eyes fly open, his shoulders tensing as he scrambles backward, but it’s a short-lived panic. All it takes is a quick scan over the corpse underneath him, and with an exhausted sigh, he drops his knife, relieved that you’re as dead as he is.
You’re not sure whether the cold feeling that runs through you is betrayal or disgust, but you don’t have much time to decide. A scream hitches in your throat, emerging in a stifled croak, and Hanako turns towards you, all wide-eyes and parted lips, as if he’d gotten caught rummaging through Yashiro’s back or playing with Kou’s staff, rather than killing his friend. He has time to lift a hand, to open his mouth, but if he says anything, you can’t make it out. Not over the blood suddenly rushing past your ears.
“I don’t…” You mumble, taking a step forward, then one back. You drive your nails into your palms, hoping to ground yourself, but it hurts less than you thought it would. You’re not sure whether that’s a reason to be relieved, or just a new source of distress. “Hanako, I don’t… Why are you--”
“It’s not what it looks like.” The words are hasty, spouted in such a rush, you can hardly differentiate one from the other. He wasn’t expecting this part. “I mean, it is, but you don’t understand. I didn’t want to hurt you.”
You don’t respond. You don’t want to respond.
You turn on your heel, and you run. As fast as you can and as far as you can, and thankfully, Hanako doesn’t try to follow.
~
Surprisingly, it’s Tsukasa that comes to find you first.
Holing yourself up in a storage closet wasn’t your smartest decision, but it wasn’t like you had much of a choice. You were scared, you are scared, but it was the only thing you could think to do, after realizing you wouldn’t be able to leave Kamome. You’re still hugging your knees, fruitlessly attempting to warm yourself up when he walks through the closed door. You’re not sure where you ran to in your desperation, but it’s not like he has a reason to move secretively, nor does Hanako have a reason to stop him from doing so. You’d promised to visit sometime after your graduation, sometime during a break, as stupid as that turned out to be. The staff wouldn’t return for weeks, let alone the students.
Disturbingly, the thought crosses your mind that your body might sit there, undiscovered and decaying, until the first day of the next school year. In an effort to distract yourself, you decide you would rather face Tsukasa than linger on it.
When you bother to look up, he’s hovering in front of you, his eyes as wide as his brother’s and twice as unsuspecting. You attempt to melt into the wall, and then, for fear that you actually might, you stop. “What do you want?”
“To see you,” He answers, no trace of malice or discontent audible in his voice. He’s uncomfortably close, the distance between the two of you minimal, but you're glad for the space. You’ve seen him be far less courteous to spirits he’s known for a shorter time, spirits he’s far more fond of. “I don’t think Amane was as gentle as he could’ve been. I wanted to make sure you were alright.” He thinks, for a moment, before he adds a brief explanation. “It’d be boring if you were already broken.”
“Like you’d care,” You mumble, letting your gaze fall to a dusty corner someplace behind him. “I’m dead, aren’t I? That probably goes with at least one of your schemes.”
At that, he grins. “My brother and I worked together,” He admits, rubbing the back of his neck as he floats upward absent-mindedly, his head bowing and his cheeks turning pink with the barest hints of a flush. “He was really stubborn about it, though. He didn’t come to me until the very last minute, and even then, he was so specific about the rumor he let me spread for you…” Tsukasa laughs, the noise high-pitched and half-suppressed, more of a giggle than anything. “You should’ve heard some of the stories we were going to try! Sakura made it look so easy, but--”
“A rumor?” The question slips out before you can stop it, the subject instilling as curiosity as revulsion. “What do you mean you ‘spread a rumor’ for me?”
“Oh, that was my part!” There’s a clap, a roll that left him lying on his back, and despite yourself, you begin to uncurl. Just enough to make him more excited than he had to be. “I was supposed to set things up, give you a rumor to slide into, my big brother just had to get you here! I did all the boring, business stuff, and Amane got to do the dirty work.” Tsukasa lets out a disappointed huff, pursing his lips. “He was so mean about it, too. He said he didn’t trust me to be responsible, whenever that means.”
It’s a numb sense of shock, a dull wave of luke-warm information you only barely don’t know. Hanako’s betrayal makes sense. You don’t like it, nor does your awareness do anything to soften the blow, but it does. He’s a spirit, someone who did something awful enough to warrant an afterlife full of duty and obligation. You feel stupid for not realizing he would be willing to do something awful to you, too.
When you speak, you nearly forget he’s meant to respond. You want to hear yourself talk more than you want to hear his grim clarifications about a story you have a feeling you don’t want to know. “How’d you get him to do it?” You ask, already fearing his response. “Hanako didn’t seem… I can’t believe he would--”
“I didn’t have to,” He chirps, cutting in without hesitation. He really doesn’t have to.
The way his smile widens is enough to silence you on its own.
“It was all Amane’s idea.”
~
When Hanako finally comes to you, it’s only because you come to him, first.
Or, you leave your closet, at least. It seems pointless to avoid him, even if your legs start to shake before you can make it to the girl’s bathroom, the ghost of a heartbeat racing in your chest and your vision going dark at the edges without warning. It’s a terrible feeling. Everything is duller, when nothing’s life or death. Sensations are fainter, the world around you seems dimmer, and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to get warm. Although, you aren’t sure if that’s because you're dead, or because you’re trapped in a dark, dank school building you’ve never seen past sunset. In the end, you give up about a hundred steps away from Hanako’s domain, you back against a wall and your legs crossed underneath you.
It’s a pathetic position, but you’re pathetic.
No one with any dignity would crawl back to their murderer so quickly.
He’s kind enough not to say anything. There’s no friendly greeting, no callback to a better time in your companionship, just a deep breath and a solid thud as he falls against the cheap, plaster wall, then another when he hits the ground. You try to resist the temptation to look at him, to see if he’s just as miserable as you are, but it’s a futile thing to fight.
That doesn’t mean you don’t regret it, though. He’s… different, for lack of a better way to put it, less lively than he usually is. All troubled eyes and wilting posture and thoughtful glances in your direction that get taken back so quickly, you have to wonder if he’d ever offered them in the first place. He’s sad, obviously, he’s guilty, but there’s something missing. Something absent from his display.
It dawns on you abruptly. As unwelcome as it is unpleasant.
He’s guilty, but he isn’t sorry.
He doesn’t regret what he did to you, he’s just disappointed he got caught.
Still, he’s the first to speak, his voice listless and downtrodden. Like a child who’s just been put in time-out and forced to apologize. “I’m sorry. I calculated wrong, I… I thought it would take more time. I didn’t think you’d have to see anything.” He pauses, something troubled flitting over his expression. You might’ve missed it, if you hadn’t known him so well. “I wouldn’t do that to you. I didn’t want to--”
“I don’t want to hear it.” Your tone’s far from authoritative, the declaration more sober than strict, but Hanako falls silent all the same, giving you a moment to gather your thoughts. Not that there was much to think over. “I don’t think I really care about that. I’m angry, I’m absolutely angry, but… There’s nothing you can say to fix this.” You feel him bristle next to you, folding into himself as his eyes narrow at nothing in particular, but if he’s going to interrupt you, he doesn’t make a move to do so. His acceptance is a small relief, but it’s a relief all the same. “I just want to know why. We’re friends, Hanako. If I did something to make you think I deserved this, all you had to do was tell me. I would’ve transferred to another school, or stopped bothering you. I could’ve left. You didn’t have to--”
“I did.”
You snap towards him, moving to speak, but Hanako reaches out before you can, his fist claiming around your sleeve. It’s a sickeningly childish gesture, a sickeningly desperate one, meant to stop you from leaving before the thought could even cross your mind. “I want you to stay. It’s not--” His voice cracks, his whole body tensing. “I couldn’t just sit back and watch you leave. I couldn’t watch you move on, not after Yashiro took the first chance she had to run. I didn’t want to. I’m selfish, and I didn’t want to.”
For a second, you’re too stunned to speak. You’re confused, you’re disoriented, that crushing, oppressive dizziness only getting worse every time you try to associate the scared kid sitting at your side with the same boy who ended your life. “I would’ve come back,” You stammer, grasping for something to say, a sentiment that would comfort you as much as it soothed him. “I graduated, but I wasn’t going to leave you alone. Yashiro visits every time she gets the chance, I would’ve done the same thing. You know that, Hanako, you knew that when you… When you decided to do this.”
“Nene’s growing up,” He spits. “She’ll stop. She’ll get busy with her university classes and meet a boy and forget about me, about us. I’ll be a bad dream, and you’ll be her annoying underclassmen. In a few years, Kou’s going to care more about exorcising spirits than befriending them, if he cares at all. He might forget, too.” He drops your sleeve, pulling into himself, but it’s hardly an improvement. Like this, he just looks withdrawn, spiteful. Someone who knows what kind of trap they’ve been caught in, but still refuses to completely submit to it. “They always forget. You would’ve, if I let you.”
You want to deny it. You can think of a thousand reasons you wouldn’t, a thousand moments you’ve done more than enough to prove you’d never willingly abandon him, and yet, all your arguments and disputes and defenses disappear the moment you turn towards Hanako, finally looking at him in earnest. You think he’s going to be angry, furious, violent, and yet, your expectations couldn’t be farther from the truth. Rather than balling his fists and steeling himself, he’s shaking, trembling, rubbing furiously at his eyes with sleeves that are just a hair’s width too long, every tear he misses falling to his chest, unnoticed and neglected.  You can’t hear him crying, but you almost wish you could. The sobs that rack over him are silent, his jaw locked in place and his teeth grit to the point of pain, but the few noises that slip through are pitchy, pitiful, evidence that something much louder is coming, something Hanako won’t be able to control. Something no one should have to go through, not alone.
Something you don’t want to see your friend go through alone.
You don’t think. You rest a hand on his shoulder, tugging him towards you gently, and just like that, Hanako’s face is buried in your shoulder, his arms wrapped around your midriff and yours resting limply on his shoulders, giving him permission to be as close as he wants to be. It’s not amnesty, but it’s sympathy, and that’s enough for Hanako to melt into you, to cling to you like a lifeline.
To make you think you might be able to forgive him, one day. Even if the idea seems incomprehensible, now.
So wrapped up in optimistic thoughts, you don’t notice how tight his grip is, as he clutches at your shirt. You don’t pull back when he goes quiet too quickly, or mention how easily he’s convinced to go still. You don’t feel the tiny, contented smile soon pressing into your skin, small but just as self-satisfied as any grin or smirk could ever hope to be. Involuntary, but genuine.
More genuine than any tear Hanako could ever force out, at least.

julian devorak x reader
a crazy night with your favorite doctor
warnings: fluff?? pretty domestic actually for something about murder talk about a sweat drop
a/n: i didn't plan for this to go this way, i played it by ear
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this was not how the night was supposed to go.
"now before you do that light up magic thing, you have to promise me that you will be calm and rational" julian's words coming slow and careful as he stayed hidden in an alley next to the rowdy raven.
"i'm always calm and rational." came your response as you tried to get closer to where he'd tucked himself behind barrels.
julian stepped out of the shadows and into the dim lighting at the mouth of the alley. you dropped your bag upon seeing him.
blood was everywhere. drenching his clothes, staining his face, arms, even legs. his patch was nowhere to be found and both of his stunning grey eyes stared at you.
"who the hell did—" he cupped a clean hand over your mouth whilst his finger hovered over his mouth.
"i was doing an act at the theater and it turned into a brawl, the fake pomegranate juice got everywhere and it clumped to me when people started throwing disgusting powdered candy."
he brought his hand to his lips, licking up the vermillion substance and crushing a fiery kiss to your lips before you could think.
he was right. sugary popping candy nearly drowned out any taste of pomegranate on julian's tongue. it was sweet, but the kiss was far from it. when he pulled away, you blinked still trying to register what happened and the kiss julian nearly got you drunk off of.
"but this blood might become very real as there was a very angry patron who—"
"julian, what the hell?"
he pulled you both into the shadows, nodding and running a hand through his hair. "you're right. i'm so sorry. how are you tonight, love? you look ravish... why do you look more beautiful than usual? who is this for?"
he raised a brow as he examined you. one of his white shirts hung loosely on you and a wine colored vest portia graciously found in mazelinka's old chest. paired with pants that really showed off everything from the waist down.
"you're in costume?"
"valerius has that party-"
julian cringed. the one he promised to escort you to. you even asked him what to dress up as and here you were, a nevivion pirate. you'd even drawn the symbol most pirates wore on your neck.
guilt flushed through him and his heart sank into his chest. he had gone to the theater for a play and completely forgotten about his duties to be your date for the night.
this was not how the night was supposed to go.
"it's alright—"
"no, love. i.. you were really looking forward to seeing asra"
it shouldn't have hurt so bad when he said it, but bringing it up made you feel a bit of an ache. you hadn't seen asra in nearly a year from the constant travelling around with julian.
you brushed it off, cupping his face and wiping pomegranite from his cheek. the small smile you offered only made julian feel worse.
"there will be more opportunities."
julian cupped your cheek, but before he could respond someone shouted behind you both. "we should actually be running right now!"
both of you took off in a sprint, weaving through alleys and dodging people on streets. julian did the latter as his long limbs would bump people every now and again as he tried not to trip over himself.
they were getting closer when julian bolted left into an alley, pulling you with him when you pulled him back into an empty building.
"i think they went this way!"
both of you were panting, trying to cool yourselves down in spite of how close your bodies were pressed against the wall.
julian was muttering out apologies for potentially ruining your entire night when you finally managed to wheeze out your laughter.
"that was amazing!" you cupped his cheeks and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips making julian grin and raise his brow.
"usually when people are about to get murdered, amazing isn't the word they would use to describe it." julian smiled as he leaned over where you were leaned on the wall. his arm by your head as his face dipped closely to yours. "maybe it's all the adrenaline, my dear."
"adrenaline ashmenaline. that was better than any party i could've gone to." you smiled, leaning up so your faces were inches apart. "i want to go again."
"well, well, well... it seems we've found our old friend doctor devorak and.. who is this lovely creature?" one of them grinned from the doorway of the empty building.
"it looks like you'll have that chance, love!" julian tugged you out of a window, you stumbled, but the same man that was nearly tripping himself tugged you beneath an arm and sprinted down the alleyway.
with julian's arm holding you by the waist close to his side, you could see the frantic men running behind him with swords out and arms raised.
you twisted out of his arm to run beside him, "what on earth did you do?!"
"they didn't take kindly to poetry about their ships!"
in front of you, you spied two horses hauling a wagon with stacked barrells. you practically shoved julian towards the wagon, both of you climbing up the structure as you muttered a spell that made the barrells go tumbling towards the men.
the wagon collapsed and both of you jumped on the horses. they reared and you'd both taken off towards the markets, racing each other as the men themselves still tried to catch you.
"we should do this every night!" julian shouted as you guided your horse to take lead through vesuvia's busy streets.
"every night?! and miss a good night's sleep?" you glanced back at him, but the one glance made your heart swell.
julian's brows furrowed and a daring smile on his face. his tall figure was leaned forward on the chestnut horse he rode. a confident smile on his face as he passed you to take lead.
it was rare for him to ever look like this even in his most comfortable state. here, in the middle of danger, high on adrenaline, and running from pirates, julian looked his best.
this was not how the night was supposed to go.
"a fair point! this way!" you'd turned right and bolted out towards the higher classes of vesuvia.
you slowed down, julian laughing as he reached over and took your hand. both your steeds huffing and grumbling as they slowed.
"amazing. quite a show you put on there, y/n." he smiled, pressing a kiss to your knuckles before he leaned forward murmuring praises to the horse.
"i think we stole a couple of horses, julian." you sighed as you tangled your fingers in the mane of your steed.
"tomorrow, my love." julian sighed, casting you a warm smile. "we worry tomorrow."
you turned your eyes to the houses around you. beautiful, elegant homes were built here. the aqeuducts looked cleaner, the sidewalk looked as if you could eat off of it.
"it's beautiful here." julian smiled, mindlessly threading one of his hands through the mane of the horse he rode.
"would you like a house here, ilya?"
his given name usually would've made him fluster, but this time around he smiled. a sigh coming from his lips, "i would love for pasha to have a home here. i don't think our children would care too much for being royalty."
"our children?"
julian nodded without missing a beat. he flushed then when he realized what he was suggesting, "only if you're open to the idea."
"i'll run it by my council."
he chuckled, turning so you saw the fond smile dancing on his lips.
with both his eyes on display so outwardly, it was a little overwhelming. paired with that soft smile? your heart raced at the mere sight of him. how could you not? he'd come so far as to be this confident.
"you saved my life." his bowed deeply, nearly falling off his horse. "how may i ever repay my beautiful hero?"
there he was. your ever dramatic doctor pirate.
"promise me we will be together forever and always." you clenched a hand over your heart, gazing up to beautiful stars above.
"it is forbidden!" julian cried out in agony, thrusting a hand into his hair. "for we may never be together as long as we live in amongst the rules of this damned nation! my sister wouldn't allow it—"
"yes, she would—"
"oh, how she would strangle me for—"
"refusing my hand."
groans and insults thrown from windows. you and julian took off in a fit of laughter, rushing down the streets until you'd come upon a path sheltered by brillant oaks.
both you and julian had taken the time to get off your horses and walk down the wide road. one hand entwined with his while the two of you lead your horses.
"should we ever be in that position, i would run away with you." you confessed.
julian furrowed his brows, shaking his head. "my love, i would never want you to give up everything you know to be with me."
"and i would never want you to give up everything you know to be alone." you smiled, pulling his hand to press a kiss to his knuckles. "i would know that you wouldn't be alone and that would be better than casting you off to suffer in isolation."
julian's eyes were shut when he tilted his head up so his face was to the sky. a shaky breath escaping his mouth before he finally decided to speak. "when you say beautiful things like that, it makes me want to give you my entire world."
"i don't understand how that would work." you tugged him close by the nape of his neck to peck his cheek. julain pulled back revealing his furrowed brows and twisted lips. "you're already my world, how could you give me more than that?"
julian stopped walking, a sticky cheek pressing to your neck. the pomegranate and sugar still lingering on his cheek from earlier.
"i gave you a night that started because of a brawl that ended with me in pomegranate juice and sugar. we get chased through vesuvia, magically steal two horses, profess our love to strangers, and here you are declaring that you want no one else, but me."
"don't forget about the part where we have children." you smiled making him laugh into your shoulder before pulling away to gaze at you with tear-filled eyes.
"the council unanimously decided?"
"the council wanted to keep the dramatics in play. they already had their answer before their brief recess."
"one of them better have my name!" portia was practically squealing as she rushed over.
nadia, asra, and muriel not far behind. muriel went straight for the horses, but not before bidding you a quiet hello.
"at least you two had fun." nadia smiled as she watched portia squeeze the air from your lungs. "as it turns out, vlastomil's worms crashed the party."
"so julian finally settles down." asra's teasing grin made the redhead smile.
"i don't think you've met my darling dear." he shot you a grin, "anyone would be lucky to stand next to them."
asra wrapped his arms around you, a gentle laugh escaping him upon finally seeing you again. "to think you would be here to tell me you were going to be parents."
nadia brushed off julian's shoulder, "i'd love to be a godmother."
"as long as i get to be the godfather." asra grinned, turning to you with a teasing smirk.
"you get to be godfather as long as you don't teach them to pester and prank people with magic."
asra shook his head, "i can't promise that."
portia laughed, picking up a stick to imitate a sword. "and i will teach them the ways of a pirate."
julian went to chastise portia when muriel's voice cut through, "and i'll teach them to properly care for horses."
asra immediately latched onto muriel, teasing him while portia and nadia discussed names. you and julian walked hand in hand down the road with your friends at your side.
babies or brawls, you wouldn't have had this night go any other way

#13 Night of the Hunter
For @sylenth-l, who was the first (to my knowledge) to come up with this heartbreak of a ship. And of course, I was right on board.
music
[TW: veins, very mild mentions of corpses]
The campfire painted Pahanin’s face bright orange as he talked, arms flailing in overly theatrical gestures to imitate dragons and wyverns tearing through the jungles of Venus. Shinobu and Andal seemed genuinely interested, watching him with chins propped up on their palms—there was something of that kinderguardian wonder still in Nobu’s eyes—and Eris only nodded politely from time to time, focused on sharpening her knives. Behind him, Nadiya mimicked his every move, causing Micah and Conar to squirm on the ground with hands pressed against their mouths to stifle laughter.
Tallulah stared up at the star-specked sky, her head resting on Caliban’s crossed legs. She could see his face from a weird angle as he smiled indulgently at Pahanin’s twaddle, and his fingers combed mindlessly through her long, ink-blue hair. He looked down at her every now and then, and his optics glinted with a brightness that filled Tallulah’s chest with warmth stronger and more pleasant than the campfire. It was their last respite before heading to Venus—the Speaker had finally relieved her off Vanguard duty for a whole week so she could take part in the Hunt—and Caliban could barely conceal the excitement of being back in the field together. It made her heart flutter. The howling wilds were his home, and only the love for her made him fetter himself to the Tower. Here amongst the pines, soaked with the smell of ash and damp soil, he was a missing piece having finally found his jigsaw.
Their eyes met and Caliban traced his fingers across Tallulah’s face, from the temple down to her smiling lips. Her home would always be with him, she thought, but to watch him here—so radiant and whole—to share his home—she shuddered at the majesty of it, at the honour she was given, at how beautiful he was when he smiled against the backdrop of stars crowning his head.
“Hey, Tallu!” Andal called from somewhere to her left, away from the pool of light that circled the campfire. She lifted her head just and inch and found him staring at her long bow propped up against a tree, poorly-concealed admiration on his face. “Can I try it out?”
“Good luck hitting anything in this pitch black darkness,” Nadiya sneered, and Tallulah felt her lips quirk slightly.
“When I’m back from Venus, we can talk about it.” Andal’s pout was so delightfully childish she could hardly hold back a smirk. “Isn’t it past your bedtime anyway?”
Conar giggled, patting poor Andal on the back, and Eris and Shinobu rolled their eyes almost in unison. Pahanin kept going with his story but his voice was growing fainter with every word now that nobody seemed to be interested.
“I’m hoping for some good views on Mars,” Micah said upon taking a swing from the bottle of contraband vodka they all shared. Her Ghosts—she had five of them, now—all perched up on her shoulders and in her lap like birds on a roost.
“Thought you were rather looking for dead people,” Nadiya snatched the bottle from her hands, “There’s that ruined city in the Meridian Bay, heard it’s a sight to behold. And full of corpses, I assume.”
“Funny how this whole system is just dead people and ruins”, Pahanin said, unexpectedly pensive, watching the flames.
Eris cocked her head at him. “We were dead things once, too. Maybe it is rebirth that comes of ruin.”
“I feel very much alive now,” Caliban smiled, and tossed a twig into the fire. His fingers were tracing the veins on the back of Tallulah’s hand absently. “We’re dragon hunters, kids. Death is overrated.”
Pahanin nodded slowly, but his thoughts were already starside; Nadiya and Conar began laying out a deck of cards, Shinobu played with one of Micah’s Ghosts by chasing it with her finger. Eris returned to her knives, and Andal watched her work with moderate curiosity. The campsite plunged into a sudden silence.
As she stared back into Caliban’s eyes, two bright dots against the encroaching darkness, Tallulah pondered what he would often tell her, stroking her cheek. That she had cosmos on her skin – swirling freckles specking her face, iridescent like a crystal shard; stars that moved across it, rising and waning, impossible to count. She thought of his fingers mapping them, metal against magic.
“I love you, idiot,” he mouthed, and Tallulah couldn’t help the lazy grin that spread over her lips. She knew the way his optics flickered and dimmed, she knew it by heart, like one knows the back of their hand or the rhythm of their own breath. They outshone all the glory of galaxies above—because they were his, here, among the night and wilderness and fire crackling. Her north stars.
______________
A/N: At first I wanted to end it with something ominous but then I thought, no, let them stay happy that one last time.
If you need closure, go read the Tyranny of Heaven loretab. I implore you not to do that.

hey y'all, as I'm dealing with a bit of... stuff... in all areas of my life and things are about to get very busy for me in the coming month, I thought I would offer a little something to tide everyone over until I can get this next update pounded out.
I found this little snippet while looking through some old notes for a class and doctored it up a little. It's from a very early version of as the rain hides the stars, one where Jon was King and Daenerys was more into playing coquette than just downright uninterested. This was one of the first 'scenes' that came to me, helped along by Lesley Gore's You Don't Own Me. It was later replaced by the greenhouse scene in Chapter 8.
Dany leaned against the railing of the balcony, a glass of something strong resting on the top, just within her reach, and a cigarette settled between her fingers. The red dress draped around her heated body caught on the summer breeze in flimsy streamers. The inner courtyard stretched below, its tall trees obscuring the lighted windows on the other side. Dany could just make out the passing figures of their esteemed guests as they floated by. Did anyone notice her departure? Or were they all so far into the champagne and social high to care about the aloof royal?
Someone knocked at the door before opening it. Dany grit her teeth, ready to chew out whoever dared to disturb her, then remembered who she expected.
“His Majesty, Jon of the House Stark, King in the North,” announced Ser Barristan, who had escorted the foreign monarch.
Dany didn’t speak until she heard the door close, turning her head only a fraction and taking a drag from her cigarette.
“Your Majesty,” she greeted, “Did you enjoy the party?”
By all standards of protocol she should’ve bowed but Dany, in all her Targaryen stubbornness, refused to let him think he had the upper hand.
In the dim room, the details of his face went unnoticed but his erect posture and even shoulders told her all she wanted to know. A king’s confidence and a prince’s charm.
“Isn’t this a breach in your southern decorum? Meeting with a suitor alone?”
A lithe smile spread over her face, “And what about your Northern honor, agreeing to meet me must break a few rules.”
Tapping the ash off, she came in from the balcony. The King’s face remained unmoved, though at a closer distance she saw the activity behind a pair of tumultuous eyes.
“If it makes you feel better, Ser Barristan is right outside the door.” She gestured lightly and moved to the seats around the extravagant mantle with an air of casual confidence.
“You’ve done this before, Your Highness?”
His question erred on the side of accusation but Dany let it roll like water off her back.
“Call me Daenerys, please. Your Highness sounds so… stuffy. And, to answer your question, yes. But never with a king.”
She gave him her infamous arched brow as she lowered to the upholstered armchair with all the grace she could manage in her well-fitted dress.
“You avoid me all evening, send your ladies to harass me and now you ask to meet me in a room, alone, to do what exactly?”
He came closer but still kept a wary distance. She couldn’t blame him- fire burned hot. His approach brought him further into the low light, highlighting his aristocratic cheekbones and distinct nose, the texture of his curls sculpted away from his face with precise care.
“I find it so hard to get to know someone with people around, watching me, formulating judgments in their little heads. Any idea why?”
“I’ve been told you have a bit of a reputation.”
“And I’ve spared you the worst of it. No need to have our new friends’ names sullied by association.”
“Thank the Gods for that,” he said but Dany picked up the sarcasm riddled throughout and had to keep from smiling.
“For what it’s worth, I don’t pay attention to gossip and rumors.”
“Hmm, perhaps you should, some of them are quite interesting.”
Dany knew of a few she personally planted, though it was a long time ago.
“Was marriage your idea?”
To switch topics so abruptly was a little desperate but the question had burned in her mind and she couldn’t shake it.
This brought a chuckle out of her curious guest, “No. Rhaegar thought it up.”
“You don’t seem too thrilled by the notion either.”
“For the same reason I’m meeting you in a secluded sitting room.”
This time he did sit, as Dany took a drag from her cigarette to hide her impression of his witty remark. She was keenly aware of the King’s eyes watching her nasty habit, so she picked up the fancy silver case that belonged to her grandmother, and her great-grandmother before that.
“Do you smoke, Your Majesty?”
“Not usually,” he said, but leaned forward to take one anyway and she offered the matching lighter as well.
“Why does your country need our help?”
“In the words of my House, winter is coming. I won’t get into the science but it looks like we don’t have the resources to survive this one without catastrophe. It’s my duty to ensure the safety of my people, even if this is the only way.”
Dany nodded, letting his brief but impactful words wash over her.
“What’s it like? In the North?”
“It’s beautiful-”
“I figured as much-”
“Especially in the winter. It almost makes you believe magic is real.”
Dany scoffed, red lips curling into a characteristic smirk, and the King shot her a look, obviously miffed at her laughter but he continued anyway.
“You’ll understand when you see it.”
“Who says I will? As far as the marriage contract is concerned I have the final say.”
A lie. A small bluff to keep herself above it all, hoping that this King was like her brother and left the heavy lifting to a committee.
The King scoffed that time, “Liar. The negotiations for this treaty are personal, happening between Rhaegar and me and no one else.”
He leaned back against the settee, taking a slow drag from his cigarette and considering her carefully. And Dany did a poor job at concealing her displeasure, stabbing the butt into the ashtray.
“Anything else you’d like to know, Your Highness?”
“How much longer are you staying in the palace?”
“A few more days, just until the treaty is finalized and we decide on a match for the marriage pact.”
That caught her attention, “I’m sorry. Decide?”
“Did Rhaegar not tell you?”
“Tell me what?”
“You’re not the only candidate. With my position and the weight behind your family, we thought it best to keep the options open.”
Dany’s chest burned with his revelation, the heat spreading through her neck and face. She broke a crystal glass and raged through the hall over a half-truth, Elia probably laughed her ass off when she left Dany’s room.
Her brash confidence refused to release his eye contact, “Of course he did. But I assumed I was the best one on the list.”
“I’d certainly like you to be.”

the tiniest jedi
okay folks, here we go... i’d like to introduce you all to my oc, Jedi Knight Jayla Nor’al! she is five inches tall, 22 years old and the former padawan of good ol’ yoda. she was knighted so she could fight in the clone wars, and now she’s off to help command her first-ever battalion! 
when i rewatched clone wars recently i basically took note of episodes where a tiny could fit into the plot (spoiler: there’s a lot lol) so this is part 1 of the first installment of me recreating the filoniverse into the obwjamverse
i hope y’all enjoy <3 love you all sm
the hidden enemy, part 1
>> part two
To say Jedi Knight Jayla Nor’al was nervous would be a tremendous understatement.
It had taken a lot of convincing that bordered on begging to get the council to agree to this. Having Anakin vouch for her seemed like a good idea in theory, but in practice it usually ended with Obi-Wan rubbing his eyes while the council fiercely debated the merits of Anakin’s argument. 
Anakin was always sticking up for her. She was a few years older than he was, but more than anyone, he understood what it was like to have a tough life. They first met one day when he was a padawan, no more than 13 years old. Obi-Wan was sent off on a mission by himself to retrieve a holocron and a disgruntled Anakin went to Yoda to continue his training. He was far more advanced than the group of younglings he was with, but before he could complain too much, something -- no, someone -- caught his eye.
She was standing on a table at all of five inches tall, arms crossed in a dim corner of the room. The other younglings were practicing basic combat stances. She looked rather bored with it all. Anakin would have probably glossed right over her if it wasn’t for the tunic she was wearing.
“Master Yoda, who is that?” Anakin asked while the group was taking a break. She had now sat down, cross-legged, with her eyes closed and her shoulders relaxed. He marveled at how her tiny silhouette almost blended in with the scenery entirely.
“My padawan, she is,” Yoda stated. 
“Padawan?” Anakin was shocked. Obi-Wan never told him Yoda had a padawan.
Yoda hummed. “Surprised, you are, hmm?”
Anakin could only nod as Yoda trotted over to her. “Well, it’s… she’s…”
“Padawan Nor’al, ready, you are?” he asked quietly. Anakin gasped at how Yoda practically towered over this tiny person. She calmly opened her eyes and gave a single nod.
“Younglings, gather here,” Yoda called out to the group. He nodded to Anakin, who curiously followed. He heard a couple of the other younglings snicker in disbelief. “Demonstrate Form III, my padawan will. Close attention to footwork, you must pay.”
Anakin’s eyes widened as a training remote whirred to life. To a normal-sized person, practicing with a remote could sting if you didn’t know know what you were doing. But she was not a normal-sized person. That remote must look like a tank to her!
“Master Yoda--” Anakin started, but Yoda held his hand up.
“You may begin.”
What Anakin witnessed next may or may not have changed his life. 
It was like she knew where the blasts were going before they were even fired. She was so quick that Anakin’s eyes could barely adjust to the blinding speed she seemed to be moving at. She firmly stood her ground as she deflected blast after blast, her eyes moving wildly as she deciphered the shooting pattern of the remote. She found her opening, charged forward, leaped up and sunk her lightsaber straight through the metal. The droid sputtered and sparked before falling to the table, lifeless. She hopped down and gave Yoda a small bow as if nothing had even happened.
“Thank you, padawan. Continue to practice, younglings. Much work to do, you have.”
Still in shock, the younglings picked up their sabers and began to practice, some yelping in surprise when the blasts stung at their legs. She had made it look so easy.
She was taking note of the younglings’ form when she paused to raise her eyebrow. Anakin was still standing there.
“Staring is rude,” she said shortly. Looking at her up close, Anakin could clearly see how she was nervously eyeing him.
“That was really cool,” he said, crouching down a bit so he didn’t loom too large. 
She gave a small smirk. “Master Yoda is a good teacher.”
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Jayla... Jayla Nor’al,” she said, giving Anakin heavy side-eye. What does he want?
“My name’s Anakin. I’m Master Kenobi’s padawan.”
“Anakin Skywalker?” she asked incredulously. “What -- what are you doing here?”
“My master is on a mission and didn’t want to take me.” 
She scoffed. “That’s silly. Padawans should always be with their masters to learn.”
“Tell that to Obi-Wan,” Anakin sighed. “Does Master Yoda take you on missions with him?”
Anakin’s lips pursed into a frown as she sat down, looking dejected. “Mostly, yeah. But sometimes I think he thinks I’m too… well… you know.”
“Too small.”
She gave him a surprised look. “Yeah.”
“A little ironic, coming from him.”
Jayla laughed. “You can’t say that!”
Anakin laughed back. “Sure I can.”
It was hard for Jayla to really grow close to anyone, no matter how hard she tried to befriend the others. Anakin knew exactly how that felt. The two were lonely, and they found each other. Their friendship only grew stronger as they got older -- Jayla helped Anakin learn to trust in the Force more and Anakin helped Jayla grow her confidence. Obi-Wan admired how well they complimented each other.
Yoda eventually began to take Jayla on more dangerous missions. Spending time with Anakin and Obi-Wan had diversified her skill set more than most padawans and, as the Jedi Council sensed the growing discourse between the light and the dark, Jayla and Anakin were both knighted so they could fight in the Clone War.
But everyone had underestimated the fierceness and enormity of the conflict.
It was evident from the beginning of her training that Jayla was fearless -- that she would not let her size stop her from doing anything. She was a fierce negotiator; a skilled fighter; she had a deep and powerful connection to the Force. And yet, her size was the very thing stopping the council from giving her any responsibilities outside of putting together training recordings, teaching younglings and spearheading negotiations.
“I can’t believe this,” Jayla groaned to Obi-Wan one rare quiet day on Coruscant. Anakin was off on a recon mission. Obi-Wan had duties to attend to, but he would always take a pause to talk with Jayla.
“If Master Yoda and the council feel this is for the best, then you need to listen.”
“I didn’t become a Jedi to play it safe. I just… I don’t understand why Yoda keeps babying me.”
“You’ve only recently become a Jedi knight,” Obi-Wan pointed out. “You need to be patient.”
“Yeah, the council did that so I could fight in the war.” Jayla got up, pacing around the windowsill. “I mean, it doesn’t make sense! I’m trained in combat. I have useful skills. I’ve been out there before, Obi-Wan! Why spend my entire life telling me ‘size matters not, hmm’, then use it as a reason to hold me back?”
Obi-Wan frowned. He hated how her frame seemed to get swallowed up by the bustling backdrop of the Republic captial outside.
“Can I be honest?” Obi-Wan asked slowly. Jayla’s expression softened as she plopped down, resting her elbows on her knees and meeting Obi-Wan’s gaze a few feet from her. 
“Always.” 
“Well, I shouldn’t really tell you this, but I think it’s important that you know. The council has its reservations, but they mostly agree that you are more than capable of being a general. It’s… it’s the Chancellor who has persuaded them into keeping you here.”
“The Chancellor? Why would he care?”
“It’s my understanding that many in the senate feel it would be a sign of weakness if you were to command a battalion.”
“That’s ridiculous! It’s not even the senate’s decision to make!” she cried.
“On military matters, it is. And until Chancellor Palpatine changes his mind, then I’m afraid there’s nothing that can be done.”
Jayla tried to forget about that conversation every time she got upset. But as the conflict raged on and Republic forces took beating after beating on the Outer Rim worlds, Obi-Wan felt the situation was becoming dire. It was less about who had strength and more about who had the tactical advantage. The better strategy. The better intelligence. 
Yoda too felt desperate. He was engulfed in the war and convinced that winning it was the only way to save the galaxy from certain doom. He heard the plight of his former padawan day after day, to the point where he began to question if his gut feeling was really right. He hadn’t been meditating as much lately. The Force always gave him the guidance he needed. Between Anakin, Obi-Wan and her own former master, the council was able to convince Palpatine that allowing her to lead stealth and recon missions was a perfectly reasonable starting point.
Since it was nearly impossible to plant a conventional spy into the droid army, Jalya and Anakin had conspired and came up with the idea of using her as a spy. Mace Windu was concerned about her being captured. Anakin argued that her life sign registered so faintly on scanners that capture wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Ki-Adi-Mundi feared she would get lost in the blur of so much violence. Obi-Wan said that all she needed was a wrist comm and someone to use as transportation and protection.
So after months of debating, planning, talking to Yoda and gear-building, the perfect situation had arisen. Today, it was finally going to happen.
And she… didn’t know how to feel.
She was accompanying Anakin and Obi-Wan on the Resolute to Christophsis, where the GAR was getting whalloped day after day. Most recently, a secret plan was thwarted before it had even gotten underway. It was obvious that the Separatists were somehow accessing Republic intelligence. And it was Jayla’s job to find out how.
“You’re not nervous, are you?”
From the comfort and privacy of sleeping quarters, she was perched pensively on Anakin’s shoulder; which, in retrospect, was probably a bad place to be with the way she was fiddling with her hands and bouncing her leg. 
“Don’t ask me that when you already know the answer,” Jayla mumbled. 
“I didn’t, actually, but thanks for confirming it for me.”
Jayla groaned. “I’m not nervous about going into the field.”
“Good. You shouldn’t be.”
“It’s…” she started, but couldn’t bring herself to admit. She was hoping Anakin could connect the dots.
“It’s… what? It’s the ship?” Anakin knew how much she hated flying.
“This isn’t my first Star Destroyer. It’s the starfighters that make me sick.”
“Okay, so it’s not the ship. Is it Obi-Wan?”
Jayla sniffed a laugh. “Why would it be Obi-Wan?”
“Well, it took a little bit of convincing to get him to agree to this.”
“You mean a lot of convincing,” she sighed. “I can personally guarantee you that Obi-Wan is not making me nervous.”
“Well, Tiny, I’m at a loss--” 
Anakin was cut off at the sound of his wrist comm beeping. She quickly grabbed onto a stray piece of his hair for support as he moved his arm up.
“Anakin, Jayla, come meet me at the bridge. Captain Rex will be arriving here shortly.”
“Copy that.” Anakin turned his head slightly to meet Jayla’s gaze, and the Force flashed in a brief moment of worry. Anakin furrowed his brows.
“You’re nervous about Rex?”
Jayla sucked in a deep breath. “No -- not particularly -- no. No, I’m not nervous about Rex.”
Anakin knew she was lying, but he wasn’t about to push it. After all, he didn’t want Obi-Wan lecturing him for being late. Again.
Jayla clung to Anakin’s robe as they made their way through the gray halls of the ship. Even from her perspective, the walls seemed suffocating, so Jayla kept her eyes trained on the ground, avoiding the gaze of every trooper that passed. The rigidness of clone armor was… off-putting.
As they approached the bridge doors, Jayla cautiously took a seat and closed her eyes. When all else failed, the Force was always there for her, guiding her and bringing her to a place where she felt at ease. Going into this mission with any apprehension would be fatal, and she knew it. The Force was pulling her toward the battlefield -- to Anakin, to Obi-Wan, to the citizens of the worlds they were helping to protect. The Jedi Order was her life, and that meant she was forever in service to the people of the galaxy that needed her. She was chosen by the will of the Force; bestowed this great power that so many lusted after. In the galaxy’s biggest conflict, she could finally start making a difference. She could finally be worthy of the gift she was given.
“There’s gonna be a lot of clones in there, you know.” Anakin’s tongue-in-cheek remark broke her from her meditation. “You could always turn back and let me and Obi-Wan handle this.”
Jayla sniffed a laugh. “And let you have all the fun? I’m alright, Anakin, I promise.” She paused, took one glance up at her giant friend, and stood up. “I’m ready for this.”
Anakin smirked. “Well then, here we go.”
The vastness and buzzing energy of the bridge brought about a sensation that Jayla would never get tired of. There were clones on the lower levels punching buttons and pulling levers; there were clones standing around tables, going over strategy and making sure they were ready for the fight. Then there was Obi-Wan, standing in front of a star map and pretending to read it. His mind was occupied with other things.
Anakin nodded his head to Obi-Wan. “Master.”
“Ah, Anakin. And here I thought you’d show up late.”
“For Tiny’s first mission as a general? I wouldn’t dream of it.”
“Is now really the best time to bring up nicknames?” Jayla groaned. It was times like these she was glad she was small; nobody could see her blush.
“I thought it’d help loosen the tension.”
“Sure you did.” She wasn’t going to admit it, but in his weird Skywalker way, it did help bring her back down to earth. This was her first mission as a military general. She outranked nearly everyone in the room. To the clones, that meant everything. Even if they didn’t want to listen to her… they had to.
It was then she noticed a tiny brown bag on the holotable below. Just poking out of the side was something that looked like armor. 
Armor fit for a tiny.
She slid off Anakin’s shoulder and flipped down to the holotable. Obi-Wan couldn’t help but grin as she pulled out two shoulder pads, two wrist guards, a pair of black gloves and a torso pad. They fit perfectly.
“We couldn’t have you going out in the field unprepared,” Obi-Wan said as she practiced some stances in her new armor.
“Huh. You look like a tiny Obi-Wan,” Anakin smiled.
“I thought we were done with the degrading comments,” you said smugly.
“Oh, very funny, you two. It’s a wonder the council took this long to allow you both to work together.”
Jayla was prepared for another quip when the main door slid open. Her eyes first fell on the wide shoulder wing, then to the Jaig eyes painted on his helmet. She had never seen clone armor quite like what Rex was wearing. She blinked and straightened her posture.
“Captain Rex. Nice of you to finally join us,” Anakin joked.
“Sorry sir. Needed to help Fives find his other blaster.”
“He lost it again?”
“...more like misplaced,” Rex clarified.
“Good to see your troops are on top of things, Anakin,” Obi-Wan quipped.
“Sorry sir,” Rex repeated. Jayla could sense… unease. “So, where’s the new general?”
Anakin’s lips curled into a smile. He had told Rex that the 501st was to be accompanied on this mission by a Jedi knight who was a master of stealth. When Rex asked who it was, Anakin refused to say. He wanted it to be a surprise.
“Rex, I’d like you to meet Jedi General Jayla Nor’al.”
Rex was glad he had kept his helmet on, because the look of confusion on his face would not have done him any more favors. 
“Uh… sir?” Rex asked cautiously, trying his best not to sound too lost. Is this some kind of joke?
“You know, I think it’s helpful to scan the entire room before saying something.”
Rex’s stomach dropped. That voice… that voice was coming from the holotable. Ever so slowly, he tilted his head down. He tried to keep his body language as neutral as possible, but he had a sinking feeling that all three Jedi in the room could sense his surprise.
“Oh,” was all Rex could utter for a moment. It was like this Jedi had stepped right out of a holoprojector and onto the table in front of him. This has to be some kind of test. She’s only a few inches tall! She won’t survive five seconds out on the battlefield. 
Anakin cleared his throat. Rex snapped back to attention.
“Right. Uh, sorry about that, sir,” Rex fumbled, giving this General Nor’al a nod of acknowledgment. “Nice… nice to meet you.”
Rex tensed up when Jayla ever so slightly rolled her eyes. He was surprised he could even see her do that.
“Likewise, Captain. General Skywalker has told me all about you.” She smiled softly when she sensed Rex’s heartbeat escalating. “All good things, of course.” 
She turned to Obi-Wan and, without either of them saying a word, Obi-Wan placed his hand next to Jayla and she casually stepped on, using his thumb for support as she was lifted up from the holotable.
“You’re going to be offering General Nor’al support in the field,” Obi-Wan said, tapping the holotable to life. “We’ve drawn up a plan to get her to the chief tactical droid stationed here to extract information and battle strategy.”
“I think we can finally turn the tide if we can get ahead of the Seps like they seem to keep getting ahead of us,” Jayla added. “Once I get the information, I’ll need an extraction team to get me out of there quickly.” Without warning, her tone shifted from stern to somber. “The last thing I need is to be caught by those stupid battle droids.”
Obi-Wan and Anakin exchanged a brief glance.
“I’ve got to finish some mission prep,” she said quickly. “When are we getting to Christophsis?”
“Should be there within the hour, sir,” Rex replied immediately. 
“Great.” She tried to peer through Rex’s helmet, but unsurprisingly, she only had the downturned expression plastered on the front to work with. Rex was not expecting to see a five-inch-tall Jedi -- that much was obvious. Her worry lied more in the possibility that she was embarrassing him just by being here. 
“I’m sure Anakin will become bored and come join us in, oh, five minutes or so,” Obi-Wan cut into her thoughts with a smug smile, throwing a glance to his friend as he walked out.
“For mission prep? You know me so well,” Anakin shot back with a smirk, turning back to the window. 
Before Obi-Wan left the room, he turned to Rex, who was all but frozen to his spot.
“Do come and join us when you’re done here,” he said shortly. Rex could only nod.
Once the doors finally closed behind him, he stiffly made his way to Anakin’s side and took off his helmet.
“Rex…” Anakin sighed, already prepared for the conversation they were about to have.
“Sir, you know I mean no disrespect…” Rex paused to see if Anakin would say something witty to that. He didn’t. “...but I’m not sure how well my men are going to respond to taking orders from someone who can fit in the palm of their hand. Especially someone who hasn’t done this before.”
“Rex, she’s a Jedi knight, just like me. She wouldn’t have achieved that rank if she wasn’t fully capable.”
“I--I believe you, General. It’s just… well, they’re used to the way things work. We’re used to a Jedi leading us through battle.”
“And she can’t do that?”
“Well, it’s not like she can cut through clankers like you or General Kenobi.”
Anakin was prepared for this, but it still didn’t change the awkwardness of the conversation. He knew how fierce of a Jedi she was. Rex didn’t. He was hoping this mission could change things. He knew as well as anyone else that a warrior of her size would wreak havoc against the Separatists if used properly. Plus, he knew how painfully boring it was to be stuck inside the temple all the time. He wanted this to work for her.
“Her strengths lie in other areas. She doesn’t need to cut through droids like me and Obi-Wan,” Anakin said, putting his hand on Rex’s shoulder. “Given the world she’s grown up in… the things she’s had to overcome… I’d say she’s the bravest out of all of us.”
Rex hummed and turned his gaze to the front of the ship. He never really grew tired of the swirling brilliant blue of hyperspace. He found himself wondering if it looked any different five inches off the ground.
“...I should go brief the men,” Rex said finally. 
“Yeah,” Anakin said, pursing his lips. “You probably should.”

Autumn Skies - Chapter 2
The Beginning (Part 2)

Genre: angst, fluff, romance and comedy, smau
Word count: 2.9k words
•°O°• Flashback continues •°O°• 
The days grew shorter as November started to roll in around the corner. Leaves of scarlet and gold fluttered to the school grounds and made crunching sounds beneath your feet as you ran off towards the gym. You should have already been at practice about an hour ago, but the meeting you had with the school’s guidance counselor went on longer than you had expected.
The entrance to the gym comes into view, and you paused right outside, bent forward and clutching at your knees, panting. As soon as you managed to calm the racing of your heart and get some air back into your lungs, you walked in. The team momentarily paused their drills to look over and shout greetings to you to which you merely responded with a nod.
You have never been late to practice before so this rare occurrence had some of the boys wondering what held you up. After all, as the manager, you always made it a point to set the best example for the team. You didn’t even have the time to change into your gym clothes. You apologized profusely to coach Nekomata, knowing how crucial these practice sessions were going to be for the upcoming tournament. Fortunately, he let you off the hook easily, or so you thought.
Over the past several weeks, the team has been really busy preparing for Tokyo’s Spring Interhigh Qualifiers which would take place in mid-November, and most of your weekends since then ended up being spent at the school gym. The boys were determined to snatch the chance to play at the national tournament in January next year and so, practice sessions have been longer and more grueling than usual. You and Kuroo haven’t had a proper conversation in a while – what with the both of you being so busy with things besides preparations for the tournament. He devoted his free time to Hana, while you… you had bigger things to do.
You halfheartedly watched as the team went over their drills. You deliberately tried not to look in Kuroo’s direction unless you had to. He was supervising the team’s training a little ways away to the side, occasionally yelling at Lev to get his blocking right.
Your thoughts went back to the conversation you had with the guidance counselor earlier and sighed wearily.  You decided to distract yourself with your own work instead, finalizing some things you needed to get done for the tournament. It seemed to have worked for a little bit, at least.
“Alright, let’s call it a day!” Kuroo suddenly called out, clapping his hands together to get the team’s attention. You check the time and was surprised to see that it was almost 8 pm.
You all gathered around coach Nekomata as he remarks on the team’s performance and gave reminders for tomorrow’s practice. Your thoughts, however, were somewhere else, drowning out the coach’s voice. You don’t notice when he suddenly turns to look at you and asks “Y/n, is the paperwork for the tournament done?”
A few seconds passed, your mind processing his words as you look back at him blankly. Finally coming back to yourself, you blinked and answered, “Oh! Not yet, but I should be able to hand over the last bit of requirements to the coordinators tomorrow.” The old coach hummed and bobbed his head in satisfaction.
“Good to know. But the deadline is still two weeks away, so there’s no need for you to rush,” he smiled softly at you, something you noted was very uncharacteristic of him. “Is that why you were late today?”
The boys eye you curiously and you feel yourself shrink from all the unwanted attention. “W-well, no but –” you spluttered, then stopped to bow instead.
“I’m really sorry, it won’t happen again.”
Now you’ve done it – earning the coach’s ire. You cursed under your breath, expecting to receive a good scolding from the coach for the first time – and in front of the whole team, no less. Your thoughts came to a halt, and you stood back up when you heard him hum instead.
“No need to apologize, y/n,” he said. “We appreciate the things you do for the team but don’t overwork yourself. If you need time for yourself, you can say so.” 
Without missing a beat, he then proceeded to dismiss the team.
The boys had begun to disperse around you but your feet kept you glued to your spot. What was the coach trying to say? Were you too obvious? You don’t remember making any mistakes while on your duties except for your tardiness earlier. Were you not acting like yourself and was it affecting your performance?
“Hey, y/n.”
You looked over to see Kuroo approaching, your walls going up on instinct. He had taken your bag from the bench and you held out your hand to take the bag from him, muttering “Thanks,” under your breath, refusing to meet his eyes. Kenma soon appeared behind him.
“You hungry? We’re all going out to grab dinner. You should come with us,” he said, thumb pointing to the gym doors.
“Oh. I think I’ll pass,” you answered, a forced smile making its way to your face. Kuroo frowned.
“What? Come on, it’s already way past dinnertime and it’s dangerous for you to be walking home by yourself. Just come with us.”
Outside, the rest of the team had already gathered and were calling out to the three of you. Suddenly, Kuroo’s lips curved into a smirk, and before you realize what he’s doing, he had already taken your bag back from you and swung it on his shoulder. You tried to protest but he only laughed at you.
“Let’s go,” he finally said as he started walking out of the gym. 
You feel your heart flutter in your chest, warmth creeping into your face and the back of your neck, as the corners of your mouth threatened to erupt into a dopey smile – the complete opposite of the jumble of thoughts that have found its way into your head. Kenma’s face scrunched slightly in concern as he looks at you staring at Kuroo’s retreating form.
“If you want, we can go home now,” Kenma offered quietly beside you. You shake your head, mentally cursing yourself for the moment of weakness.
“He has my bag,” you told him resignedly.
You watched as a soft frown graced Kenma’s face under the dim light. Those who didn’t know him wouldn’t notice all the subtle shifts in his expressions, but you knew him well enough to know that under that layer of indifference, he was deeply concerned for his friends. You feel a little sorry for him, being caught in between and having to deal with you and your feelings for his other best friend.
“Thanks, Kenma, but I’ll be fine. Now, come on,” you gave the setter a reassuring smile and pulled him along.
•°O°•
You sat on the train, leaning your head back against the cool glass with your eyes closed. Your calm external demeanor was a far cry from the turmoil that was going on in your head. In your head, you had already body slammed yourself twenty times for your own stupidity – for reading the signs wrong and causing your own heartbreak.
Kuroo and Kenma sat across from you, talking about the game Kenma was playing. You ignored them.
Dinner with the team at a nearby yakiniku restaurant didn’t go so bad. The boys were too hungry, mouths too full to hold a proper conversation – except for Kenma whose appetite was as small as ever. You could tell the poor setter wanted to run away when Kuroo won’t stop shoving food his way, telling him he needed to eat more. You hadn’t felt like eating either, taking it upon yourself to grill the meat instead, and putting the cooked ones onto the boys’ plates. Kuroo had noticed and called you out on it, asking you why you weren’t eating, and without even waiting for an answer, he started filling up your plate with a variety of the food that was served. Time slowed down in that moment as the realization hit you.
With a sense of urgency, you thought back on all the moments you’ve had with Kuroo – the ones that had made you fall for him – sifting through your memory as if your life depended on it, and realized that you had inevitably led yourself on. You thought he did things like that because he liked you. Had all those actions just been out of pure concern for a friend? Seriously, was he just being kind? A memory flashed through your mind, one from the last training camp. The tall, blonde first year with the glasses from Karasuno had asked Kuroo why he was giving them blocking advice, knowing they were rival teams. Kuroo’s words rang loud and clear in your mind.
“I’ve always been this kind,” he had said.
OH.
You were a fool for deciding to put meaning behind his innocent actions – seeing feelings that weren’t actually there. You set yourself up for false hope and you had no one to blame but yourself. But then why did it seem like he was flirting with you every chance he could get? And when you flirted back, why did he seem to enjoy it? You weren’t a stranger to his teasing and provocative nature, but you were sure the two of you had already gone beyond friendly territory. Unless…you read the signs wrong and jumped to conclusions again?  
“By the way, Y/n, why were you late to practice?”
You opened your eyes, slightly annoyed at being interrupted from your thoughts and by the person you’re moping about no less.
“There was just something I needed to do, is all,” you muttered, eyes closing again.
“What was it?”
“Nothing important.”
“Then why were you late if it wasn’t important?”
“Can you stop?” you snapped, tone coming out harsher than you had intended. This time, you sat up straight, arms crossed over your chest, glaring at him. Why was he asking so many questions? Why does he even care?
He looked genuinely stunned, like he hadn’t expected you to react like that. You froze, limbs going slack as you looked back at him with an expression that was just as shocked. Your mind finally caught up to your words, but it was too late to take them back.
Warily, Kuroo asked, “Are you okay, y/n?”
Fuck.
His tone was so gentle, eyes so sincere, that you automatically found yourself cursing under your breath, drowning in guilt.
“I’m sorry. There’s just a lot going on in my mind right now and – I really didn’t mean to snap at you like that!” you spluttered.
Kenma stays quiet, pretending to focus on his game and pressing buttons randomly. In truth, he had actually paused his game in case the situation escalated, and he had to intervene, not wanting to lose his progress.
Kuroo opened his mouth to say something but stopped to fish out his phone that was vibrating in his pocket, then raised it to his ear.
“Hana?” he spoke in a quiet voice, mindful not to disturb others even though there were barely any passengers besides the three of you.
“I’m on the train with y/n and Kenma.”
“Yeah, babe. I’ll call you back later, okay?”
“Love you too, bye.”
By the time Kuroo turned his attention back to you, you had already arrived at your stop. The three of you got off and walked to your respective homes as the weight of the unfinished conversation you had with Kuroo hung heavily in the air.
•°O°•Fast forward•°O°•
You rolled your shoulders and stretched, sighing as the tension dissipated from your aching body. The tournament would take place tomorrow and you’d just finished baking a cake for Kuroo’s birthday. That’s right, the tournament was happening on the same day as his birthday. You could have easily bought a cake from the bakeshop but you decided you wanted it to be more special for him – and you also hoped it would double as a peace offering for that one time you snapped at him even though you had apologized for it already.  
Now that you’ve finished putting the kitchen back in order, it was time to settle down for the night. You sneaked under the covers of your bed and fell asleep.
•°O°•
That morning, Nekoma lost to Fukurodani. Your team had almost won but Bokuto’s strength managed to overwhelm your defense, and Fukurodani ended up taking both sets.
Tokyo was a big city so there would normally be two teams representing it at the nationals. However, since Tokyo will be the host in next year’s Spring High National Tournament, a third slot was available to represent the city. The first two slots were already claimed by Itachiyama and Fukurodani. Now you can only hope that your team could claim the last one. They had one last game later in the afternoon against Nohebi.
Coming back from the washroom after having lunch, you meet familiar faces in the hallway.
“Hey, hey, hey! If it isn’t Nekoma’s manager!”
Bokuto ran up to you, lifting you up and spinning you around. You laughed at his antics, his boisterous energy effectively dissolving the nerves that were just threatening to swallow you up. After he gently set you down, you said hi to Akaashi, congratulating them for winning the game that morning. In the middle of your catching up with each other, something caught Bokuto’s attention and you watched as he called out to Kuroo and Hana passing by.
“Hey! Kuroo, bro! You’d better win against Nohebi later!” he laughed.
The couple went over to you, hand in hand.
“Ooh! Who is she? Your girlfriend?” Bokuto asks.
“Yeah, this is Hana.” Kuroo introduced Hana and your two friends from Fukurodani to each other.
“Oh, nice to meet you, Hana!” Bokuto said, before going back to Kuroo.
“But I thought y/n was your girlfriend,” Bokuto said with a laugh, “guess I was wrong!”
Akaashi frowned at that, making a mental note to hit Bokuto’s head later. Meanwhile, Kuroo laughed like a hyena and you forced a laugh yourself, avoiding Hana’s eyes.
“We’re just friends, Bokuto. I don’t know what gave you the impression that we were together,” Kuroo said. You nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, we’re just friends,” you confirmed.
“But I swear you two look and act like a couple someti-“ Akaashi cut off what Bokuto was about to say, as he swiftly came up with an excuse to leave.
Dragging Bokuto away from the scene, Akaashi yelled, “Good luck on your game later! Let’s see each other at the nationals!”
“But Akaashiii! OH, this means I’m free to ask y/n out!” was the last thing you heard Bokuto say before the two turned the corner and disappeared from view.
“So, anyway, I have to go see coach,” you managed to say before you too scurried away from the scene, not wanting to deal with the tension that had developed.
•°O°•
Later that afternoon, Nekoma manages to win against Nohebi. It was a close fight – Nohebi being a cunning team that had dirty tricks up their sleeves – but your first years exceeded your expectations as they proved themselves on the court.
Legs shaking, you rose from the bench, processing the fact that your team won. You did it. You guys were heading to nationals. Everything slowed down around you. You wanted to run to someone – to Kuroo. You wanted to jump into his arms, pull his body to yours and whisper sweet praises into his ears. But you could only watch as Hana and Kuroo ran up to each other, locking themselves in a tight embrace before their lips come together for a kiss.
A bitter smile pulls at your lips, and you turned away from the scene, having seen enough of it to haunt your memory for the days to come. You willed yourself to breathe through the tears that were starting to blur your vision and the tightness that was coiling at your throat. Making sure no one was watching, you discreetly wiped the tears away before they fell down your cheeks.
While waiting for the awarding ceremony, you went out to the gym entrance to meet your friend, Amari. She lived in an apartment nearby so you had asked her if she could keep the cake you baked fresh until after the team was done playing. You baked an extra cake for her, too.
After the ceremony, you were supposed to go out with the team for dinner to celebrate – the coaches’ treat. But you weren’t sure you’d be able to sit through dinner with Kuroo and Hana after what you saw earlier. So as the team was heading off to the bus, you told coach Nekomata that you weren’t coming because you needed to go somewhere.
“Where do you need to go? We could drop you off if it’s along the way,” he said.
“Oh, you don’t have to. I can just walk there, but thanks, coach.”
“Hmm. Alright. Take care of yourself, y/n.”
“Y/n, you’re not coming?” Kuroo had gotten off the bus, “but it’s my birthday and we won!”
He playfully pouted at you so you pinched his side.
“Like I’d forget?” you pulled out the box of cake from the paper bag you hid it in. ”Here, take this. I baked this for you. Happy birthday, Kuroo!”
You smiled up at him before turning to wave to the other boys inside the bus who were protesting your departure. You didn’t wait to see or listen to Kuroo’s reaction.
“Kuroo! Don’t let her leave!” you heard Yamamoto and Lev cry out, pressing their faces against the window. You started walking away, shaking your head at how loud the boys were screaming your name and begging you to join the team dinner.

5th of Frostfall, Tirdas
Finally we came to place where Seryn looked about. Perhaps it was the towering stones that marked the way for her, but we turned sharply and began our way along the Foyada, taking one of the branches just a ways beyond.
I do not wish to disclose any further details, that is already too much to identify the secret, sacred path. I shall say no more of it.
Our journey was slowed significantly by the increase in volcanic activity under our feet. It was bad enough that we had to stop and watch for falling stones. At one point Seryn actually made a shield, protecting us from a bolder that rolled down the side of the mountain. It was clear that the activity was increasing. It was as Tel and the others had warned. It was clear that most animals had sensed the increase themselves, for there was little animal life to be found anywhere near our path, save for the occasional shadow of a passing cliff strider.
I must say, Seryn has a keen ability to avoid cliff striders , something I asked her about as the light began to fade around us. She laughed and told me that perhaps it was that they were drawn to my scent of my incessant talking. I gasped, surprised at such words, but she quickly dissolved into a giggle and I found myself caught completely unexpected in her jest. I laughed myself, so surprised by the turn and I was glad for the break in what had been a lull in conversation as we walked.
After that, she was more jovial. At least until our upward climb drew near to where there appeared to be a cave.
Above, we could hear the wise woman shouting for someone to stay back.
We ran to find her fending off some skafin, of all fetching things! We defeated them with little issue and ran to the wise woman’s side, checking that she was alright.
She told us she was, that Azura had protected her until we arrived, just as predicted. I looked at Seryn, but she just smiled at me. I do not know if she was aware of the secret or if she simply was glad that we were where we were supposed to be.
Then the wise woman stopped, as though hearing something, so Seryn and I kept silent. Then she spoke, as if someone else were there and said she understood. I realized then who she was talking to as soon as she said, my Lady.
When she turned to me and said I should follow her, I felt my face flush in anticipation, my heart racing. As we headed towards the mouth of the cavern, the wise woman told me that the Queen of the Night Sky asked that I help the wise woman in coming to the correct decision regarding a claim. I could hardly believe my ears.
I asked, trying to contain my excitement, if it was regarding Chodala’s claim to be the Nerevarine. She told me I was correct and that clearly my insight as a diplomat would be needed. Although the Red Exiles had been convinced of Chodala’s claim, the wise woman said she was far more uncertain. But there was more she had to consider, for she feared that if she opposed him there would come retribution from the Red Exiles that could well harm all the Velothi in Ald’ruhn, and possibly beyond as well. 
As we entered the cave, I was struck by the fact that this was a far more ornate shrine. Instead of the usual statue of Azura, stood with Her arms spread wide and the moon and star sitting upon each palm, this statue had Her seated, Her hands together, palms up, held downward. She appeared more to be offering than Her usual show of radiance. Her face appeared serene and kind. Besides Her were two statues of moon and star. At Her one knee, was a small pond, besides which was an altar covered with offerings.
I pulled myself from the awe that overcame me, I had a duty. A sacred one at that. So I asked the wise woman about her options. We spoke of different outcomes that could come from her decision. Finally, we agreed upon an option that would be the most beneficial, it would stop Chodala while allowing the wise woman to remain impartial. It might have consequences for me, but I assured her that I would be far happier having violence directed towards one House mer, than to risk harm coming to her people.
So she explained that if I could find from the spirits of the failed incarnates what brought about their failure, then those flaws could be compared to Chodala’s ambitions. It would be enough to prove that he was headed towards his own doom. His failure. Then she would be allowed to refute him.
I was thrilled and a bit overwhelmed by everything happening around me. Azura had spoken of me. I was in a sacred shrine, the likes of which I had never seen or heard of. I was going to be asked to speak with the failed incarnations of Nerevar, something I only knew a little about. I was going to be present to dispute an Ashkhan’s claim at Nerevarine. There was so much! It was unreal. I was in this pivotal moment in history. Only, instead of simply trying to help the hero of the story to reach the final stage to defeat evil, here I was actually a player in the outcome of history!
Despite Naryu’s jabs about my being hero, I have never felt that was a role designed for me. Yet, here I was, stepping into a place where likely no one outside of the wise women who maintained the shrine, ever entered. And Azura had asked me to do so.
Surreal is the only word I can think of that begins to describe the feeling.
The wise woman showed me how to summon the spirits and then bade me return to Ald’ruhn when I was done, for she needed to be there when Chodala returned from his meditations. Then she left me to do as I was told.
Making sure to carefully follow every instruction, I summoned the spirits of those thought to be Lord Nerevar’s reincarnations. Then, one by one, I saw the ethereal images of each of those great Velothi heroes who had claimed to be the Nerevarine before, rise up from where they had been laid to rest around Azura’s statue.
I took up ink, quill, and parchment, and I wrote down all that they said. Their stories, in their own words. I made sure to spare no details, writing as fast as I could, even when my hand cramped and my finger tips grew numb. This was far too important to let discomfort stop me.
I thanked each of them for their wisdom. I felt satisfied that I would be able to present these sacred stories, wisdom from those who had experienced it themselves, before the wise woman and Chodala. Perhaps Chodala would even see the folly of his ways and be convinced to continue on his great path in a way more befitting a unifier.
As I made to leave, a voice stopped me.
It was Azura, calling me to speak with Her.
I knelt before the great statue and kowtowed before it. I felt warmth and comfort from Her voice. The void where my soul once lay, instantly filled.
She offered me council before I went to refute Chodala’s claim. Offered me the wisdom in how best to present what I had learned and pressed upon me the importance of succeeding in this endeavor. Further, She told me that it was the staff that was making Chodala so bold and reckless and to prevent further destruction, he must be made to part with with. That he is not the Nerevarine.
That last part could leave no doubt. Chodala was clearly being led astray by the power in the staff. I had wondered by who or what, until I recalled the Skafin who attacked the wise woman. Clearly Chodala had made a deal with the Prince of Bargains. It was something to consider as we took our next steps. Perhaps he could be convinced that he should not try using Daedric pacts to fulfill his ambitions.
Before I left, Azura told me that I should assist her champion, which of course I agreed to. She named Seryn as that mer, a friend to all the Velothi people. I kowtowed again, pressing my forehead upon the cool ground. I swore that I would do so and that I would protect her, even should it cost me several lives.
I felt a pleased feeling all around me and my heart swelled with joy.
Then the radiating feeling began to dim and fade, until I was left alone in the cavern.
As I raised my head, the cavern was dimmer that before and I felt wetness streak my face. As I touched my cheeks, I felt tears. I felt the blessing that was given to me. And I knew my task.
I headed out of the cave and found Seryn waiting for me. She was deep in meditation, but looked up as I approached. She asked me if I had found what we needed. I said that I had and as the moons rose in the sky, I read the words of each of the three failed incarnates to her.
She thought in silence after I had finished. I remained beside her, content in knowing that I had a part to play. Seryn was going to succeed. She would convince her brother with evidence he could not deny. He would be forced to see reason. Then we could explain the gravity of consequence that came with his staff, a consequence that threatened the very people he wanted to unite. If Vivec’s power got too low, Red Mountain would certainly erupt, killing everyone that lived near, Velothi and Housemer alike.
Seryn spoke up and said she would need to sleep on everything and plan our next move. I told her I was hers to command, she only needed to say the word.
She laughed and told me that she was another diplomat, not the Ashkhan. I bowed and played her servant as we stood and gathered our things. I wonder if she understands how truly amazing she is? Does she know yet that she is Azura’s chosen?
It is not my place to say. If she does not know now, she will soon. I am sure of that.
We teleported back to Ald’ruhn and Seryn retired for the night. Normally I would go and sit with the rest of the tribe and drink and sing and enjoy the company, but I felt the weight of what was to come and decided that sleep would be a better use of time.
I only hope that we help Chodala to see wisdom.

*gif is edited by me, but not mine*
THE NIGHT WAS FULL OF SOFT MOANS AS HIPS ROCKED TOGETHER ALMOST RHYTHMICALLY. The cool air brushed across your soft cause chill bumps to rise, but Hvitserk’s hands shielded part of you as you rolled yourself against him, taking all of him in, worshiping him like you have for the last five years. But this was different, he had finally noticed you, and now with the buck of his hips he’d elicit a mewl from your soft lips.
The flames from the torches danced along the walls, the shadows telling their own story. You continue to roll your hips on his, feeling the way he so deliciously fills you up. You never wanted this moment to end, but that familiar burn at the pit of your stomach told you that you were close to your release, and that the way Hvitserk’s groans became more frequent proved he was, too. Your release came at the same time, you falling onto his chest and allowing his strong arms to envelop you into his warmth.
Usually you’d be sleeping in the barn with the other slaves and livestock, but tonight you would sleep like royalty in a bed with soft furs and a man you had fancied for oh-so long. You traced shapes on his chest, watching the way his pecs heaved up and down with every breath he took, how sweat beads dotted his toned body. You were the luckiest woman in Kattegat, maybe even the world, if everyone knew the joy you felt. For years you went unnoticed, and all it took was a single slip up to end up in his arms. Hvitserk was fast asleep when you looked up at him. You admired the way he looked so peaceful, how his nose twitched slightly as he dreamt. You weren’t tired though, carefully sliding out from his embrace and sliding your dress back on before the cold cause you to change your mind about even getting out of bed.
You wrapped a fur around your body, leaving the room and going into the great hall, sitting down at the table to collect your thoughts. You stared at the remnants of dinner, silently cursing as you’d be the one that would have to clean it in the morning.
“Did you have a good night with my brother?” The voice was in the shadows, and it startled you. You turned to face the throne of where Ragnar used to sit, swearing you could see the glowing eyes of something as scary as a lost soul wondering Niflheim. You wrapped the fur tighter around your body, turning your frame to face the darkness where the voice had come from. You knew the voice, but that isn’t to say that you weren’t afraid of it’s owner.
“I-I did, Prince Ivar. Did you have a good night?” You asked sweetly, ignoring the cold that bit at your delicate flesh even under the layers. A scoff came from Ivar as you heard a thud, then crawling as the youngest Ragnarsson emerged from the shadows and helped himself into the chair. “It would have been better if you were not so loud in there.” He admitted, you felt as the blood began rushing to your cheeks.
“Did I wake you? I apo—“
“No. I rarely find myself sleeping anymore.” He sighed, taking a drink from a cup of ale left out, staring at the mess he and his family had made at dinner time. “As do I.. Maybe I could help you? Make it easier for you to slumber.” You offered, a friendly smile playing on your soft features. You could see his eyebrows raise, even in the dim light of the hall.
“You would help me?”
“Of course, you are my master. I am always at your disposal and need.”
“Why would you want to help me, why waste your resources and knowledge on a cripple?”
His degrading words tugged at your heartstrings. You had known Ivar all your life, occasionally coming into the great hall as a child with your mother to tend to the Princes, but now that you were always in here, you felt sorrowful for the youngest son. You never understood why he despised himself for something he couldn’t help, he was as strong as his brothers, as smart, he was like them in every way.
“Knowledge is supposed to be shared, Sire. Your deformity does not wain my want to help you.”
He had almost never heard anyone but his mother who wasn’t affected by his curse for it had been his life’s burden, but hearing the way you were willing to help him, despite the ways he had been cruel to you in the past, ignited something in him he had never felt before. There was a silence between you both before you stood up, shivering. “I must go back to the Prince before he awakens to my absence. Goodnight, Ivar. I hope you sleep.” You bowed, making your way back into Hvitserk’s chambers for the rest of the night.
You expected the mess when you got up the next morning, cleaning up just in time for the sons of Ragnar and Queen Aslaug to wake up. You served them their breakfast, you and Hvitserk giving each other small glances that didn’t go unnoticed by the eldest. “What is going on between you two?” Ubbe asked with a smile on his face. Hvitserk took a bite from his fork, his lips curling into a smirk as you tried your best to keep your composure. Sigurd chuckled after Ubbe did, Ivar only rolling his eyes.
“Couldn’t you hear them? They sounded like livestock.” He said bitterly.
“You shouldn’t compare a lady to livestock, Ivar.” Aslaug commented, sipping on her ale. Ubbe nodded in agreement, only irritating Ivar further. The rest of breakfast went by as normal, Sigurd arguing with Ivar, Ubbe being their peacemaker. But after you requested from the Queen to visit the market, needed herbs for the sleep concoction your mother would give you as a child to ease you to sleep.
The day wasn’t as cold as the night, so you didn’t have to wear so many layers out, feeling the need to take your tine to grab the ingredients until you met with the eyes of Ivar as he sat on hay bells, overlooking the Kattegat inhabitants.
You shot him a smile and made your way over to him, holding the bag of ingredients gently in your hands. “When I was a child, my mother would give me this to help me sleep. I can give you some tonight, if you would like, Sire.” You offered, shielding your eyes from the sun that momentarily peeked from the grey clouds. Ivar shrugged, plucking out pieces of hay from the bell. You took his silence as a cue that he wanted to be left alone, so you said goodbye and made your way back to the Great Hall, unsurprised to find none of the Princes there.
The day went by as usual, cleaning up, tending to Queen Aslaug. And dinner was quiet, Ivar was in no mood to eat, so he skipped to lay in his chambers. Once you had cleaned you had made your way there with the concoction ingredients in hand. You knocked on the door, announcing yourself before entering to see Ivar peering out of the window.
He turned to you, crawling over into bed. “I-I have the stuff, if you would like to try it.” You showed him. He looked long and hard at it, bringing his bottom lip in between his teeth then looking up at you in a way that said ‘go ahead’.
You poured the ingredients into the stone bowl, mashing them up with a nearby knife before putting warm water in it to dissolve the now mashed up ingredients. You smiled as you handed the bowl to him, watching as he hesitantly took a sip, “How do you know so much?” He questioned.
You weren’t expecting him to ask you this, so when he did you tensed up before shrugging, “My mother was a very smart woman despite her status. She figured there was no point in being alive if she couldn’t share her knowledge.” You remembered the fondness you felt for your mother, then feeling sad upon the memories arrival.
“What happened to her, your mother?”
“A plague took her. When Queen Aslaug found me in the streets struggling to even feed the livestock she allowed me to work within the Great Hall.” You informed, trying immediately after to change the subject, “Do you feel any sleepier, Sire?”
“Yes.”
You stood, brushing off your lap and gathering the bowl, stopping when you felt his strong hand grip your wrist, “Stay, [Y/N].”
“Why, Sire? I must attend to my duties.”
Ivar rolled his eyes in a typical fashion, taking the bowl away from your hand and placing it on the floor, pulling you towards him. You were shocked as he did this, now being face to face with the Prince. He looked nervous, ashamed even at his request.
His request was simple, for you to lay with him as he slept, to hold him in your arms. You had rarely done this kind of thing before, the feeling being foreign as Ivar rested his head on your chest, pulling you closer to his shirtless form. You draped your arms around him as be got comfortable. Soon the Prince was fast asleep, but you couldn’t pry yourself from his iron grip.
It appeared you would be there all night.

Concert
Fluffvember Day 7: Concert - Leopold Vermillion (f! reader) 
Summary: You're a classical violinist and tonight is your big debut at the Castle Town concert hall. Your long-time friend Leopold is in the audience, and he begins to see you in a whole new light after watching you achieve your biggest dream
Word Count: 1,825 
A/N: I’m probably a little biased because I am a classical violinist, but this was by far my favorite one to write so far this month! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The Max Bruch Violin Concerto no. 1 partly inspired this so if you would like to, listen to the first movement. 
masterlist 
----- 
You stood in the atrium of the concert hall, patrons, mostly upper crust and royalty, milling about and drinking before the event began. "Ugh Y/N, I don't know how you can stand going to these events. Everything is so stuffy, even the clothing." Your friend Leopold complained, pulling the collar of his dress shirt away from his neck. You rolled your eyes, at him lightly punching him in the arm, "Going to these events, is kind of my job you know. Plus, orchestra music isn't stuffy, you're just lame and have no taste." 
Leo was about to object but before he could do so a bell was rung and you had to dash off. "Sorry! That's my cue to go change, I'll see you after the concert okay?" You said apologetically, planting a chaste goodbye kiss on his cheek before disappearing into the crowd. The kiss was meant as a friendly gesture, nothing more, the two of you had grown up quite close after all, but nonetheless Leo was left standing there dumbstruck, hand lightly touching the place your lips had been a moment before. 
He gathered himself and entered the concert hall, heading for the Vermillion family box; he was a little nervous he had to admit, he was the sole Vermillion sibling here tonight and so a lot of eyes were on him. Fuegoleon was away on an important business matter and who knows where Mereoleona was, she usually couldn't be bothered to come to events like this, they were far too constricting for her wild nature. 
Even though Leo found these events stuffy, like most of his royal duties, he came tonight without much complaint because tonight would be the first time he would get to see you perform a concerto with an orchestra as large as this one. You had picked up the violin at an early age, and had been traveling the country playing at concert halls all over, but tonight would be your big debut on the Castle Town stage and Leo was excited. Not because he particularly enjoyed orchestral music like this, but because it was something you enjoyed.  Growing up, he had always admired the way your eyes sparkled as you talked about your dreams of someday playing on this stage, and here you were achieving the dream you had worked so hard for. 
The first piece was a long drawn out number that had him nearly falling asleep, Mimosa, his cousin, had to elbow him several times to keep him from snoring. He supposed he should have felt a bit sheepish, but you weren't onstage so he couldn't bring himself to care all that much. During intermission Mimosa turned to him excitedly, "Y/N is on next, isn't that so exciting?" He nodded, "Yeah! This is her big dream!" 
Intermission seemed to be over in a flash, the lights dimming and he waited with bated breath as the spotlight lit up the space you'd walk through shortly. When you appeared Leo felt his breath hitch, you were in a stunning turquoise dress, sparkling in the light that illuminated the stage. "Wow." Mimosa whispered, awestruck. He could only nod in agreement, the dress suited you perfectly, the perfect battle armor to conquer the stage tonight. 
When you'd told him about this concert a few weeks ago, it had taken everything in him not to launch himself across the table and wrap you up in a bear hug. Well, almost everything, despite him trying not to, he did it anyway, leaving you both grinning ear to ear and laughing with excitement.
The audience clapped and you shook hands with the conductor and the concertmaster then took up your post near the front of the stage. Leo remembered you mentioning that you were nervous about playing from memory, so he silently cheered you on, hoping you could hear him in your heart. 
As the timpani began playing, your eyes searched the audience, your hands were sweaty and your heart was pounding, you couldn't see the audience very well because of the spotlights but you knew there was a familiar head of red hair out in the crowd and that gave you comfort. The flutes and woodwinds came in next and you prepared to come in with your cadenza. 
From the second your first note reached his ears, to the second your last chord echoed through the hall Leo simply found himself unable to take his eyes off of you. Your notes were spellbinding, taking his breath away and telling a story with just sound, it was a language unlike any he had heard before. He had always admired you, your strength of character, your sense of humor, your honesty, brutal at times but that's definitely when he needed to hear it the most; but tonight, something tugged at his heartstrings and was rooting in his brain, and suddenly he saw you in a whole new light. 
When the concerto ended you were a panting mess, any trace of nervousness had evaporated as you reached the end, a beaming smile appeared on your face as you bowed, the roar of applause filling your ears. From somewhere in the crowd you heard a distinct whistle and you had to contain your laughter, that was definitely Leo. I guess he liked it then? That's fantastic!  You probably wouldn't admit this to anyone, but when you got up on this stage tonight you didn't care about all the opinions of the various noble folk and royalty that had attended, if you were being honest the most important, and perhaps the only opinion that mattered to you was Leopold's. 
You made your way to the atrium because you had to accept your congratulations from the audience members in person, it was simply good practice. Several people congratulated you, others noted that you played well even though you were not royalty, you took each comment with grace and a smile, praying that you'd be able to go home soon and celebrate as you wished to; perhaps with a long soak in the bath to ease your aching muscles.
 Leo and Mimosa appeared in the atrium, eyes scanning the room for a sign of you; Mimosa couldn't help but be amused by the way you both perked up as you caught sight of one another. Ahh, young love. She mused, then giggled to herself, who am I kidding? I'm young too. 
Leo made a beeline for you as soon as your current conversation ended and grabbed your hands with excitement. "Oh Y/N, that was so amazing, I could just kiss you right now!" He said, practically buzzing with energy. You deadpanned and he was about to pull away, but rather than pulling away as well you said, "Kiss me then." It was almost a challenge, and Leo backed down from it, suddenly hyper-aware of all the people watching you; he lost his nerve and decided to change the subject. 
"Do you--- do you need someone to come with you? To help carry your things?" He asked, nervous about even this small interaction for some reason. Mentally he kicked himself, usually, conversation was so easy with you, but now he was just a bumbling mess. Your face fell into a smile, "That would be lovely Leo." You led the way to the green room and greeted the other performers, thanking them for a job well done. As you packed your things, Leo couldn't help but notice the slight frown that twisted your features. "Are you alright?" he asked quietly. When you nodded he dropped the subject, opting instead to carry your things as he had promised. 
The atrium was empty when you emerged from the green room, and you found yourself in awkward silence with Leo. Secretly, you were disappointed that he hadn't taken you up on your challenge earlier and you didn't know how to feel about it. Do I really have feelings for him? Leo's thoughts seemed to be on the same track as yours as you exited the building into the night air.
 "Did you mean it?" "Mean what?" You asked, turning to face him; in an attempt to not misconstrue things you weren't going to answer unless he asked you exactly what was on his mind. A blush graced Leo's features and his heart was pounding in his head, "Did you actually want me to kiss you back there?" 
You tilted your head, trying to sort through your emotions so you could give him a straight answer. "I think so. I'm not really sure, I just, I said that without thinking and I'm not sure of what exactly I'm feeling right now." Leo gulped, trying to gather up the courage for his next question, "Do you… do you still want me to?" 
Your heart pounded in your chest as you nodded, eyes not leaving your friend for a second as he carefully set your things on the ground next to him. He wiped his sweaty palms on his pants and awkwardly grabbed your arms as he leaned in, the kiss was short and sweet, but it left you with an unsatisfied feeling and solidified in your mind that you did, in fact, want to kiss him. In fact, you wanted to kiss his stupid face again and again. 
Leo looked away awkwardly, wanting to kiss you again but not sure how to ask. Luckily he didn't have to, as you grabbed his shirt and pulled him in closer to you. "Do you want me to?" You asked breathlessly, you were so close you could feel each other's breaths on your lips. When he nodded you didn't hesitate, slamming your lips into his. 
Mimosa appeared from out of the concert hall, a mixture of wanting to roll her eyes and cheer seeping into her expression. "Took you guys long enough." She said, hands on her hips and looking away; she was happy for you both but the last thing she wanted to watch was your makeout session. 
The two of you jumped and pulled apart quickly at her sudden interjection. "What do you mean, took us long enough?" You asked, a little sheepish at the implication that she had known your feelings long before you had. "Don't worry about it. Want to go get some ice cream or something to go celebrate your big night?" You and Leo exchanged a glance, "Absolutely!" Mimosa led the way to the nearby ice cream shop, you and Leo trailing a little ways behind. 
"Was tonight exactly how you dreamed it would be?" He asked as you walked hand in hand. You shook your head and smiled at him, glancing at your intertwined hands, "Nope, it was even better." 
"Hurry up or I'll eat without you!" Mimosa yelled, interrupting your moment for a second time that night. You both chuckled and sped up to meet her at the door, filled with the feeling of a new chapter beginning.
