I absolutely love the el!hughes series can you do a blurb of Jack and the team/ Hughes family finding out reader is in labor if not that is totally ok. Have a great day!!
i wasn’t sure how to write the devils finding out y/n is in labor because i already kinda knew how jack would find out and it didn’t match up with the team finding out, so i apologize and i hope you still like this! i might write another blurb in third person pov with the devils on call with jack and finding out!
———
i wasn’t even awake yet when my water broke. in fact, i woke up on wet sheets and to dull pain in my back and lower abdomen.
the baby isn’t due for another week, so immediately i assume that it’s braxton hicks contractions and that i accidentally peed myself while i slept, as i’ve heard it can happen to pregnant women.
i rise from the bed, deep breathing through my pain as i change the bed sheets, just glad Jack was at morning skate and wouldn’t be privy to my embarrassment.
padding down the hallway, i throw the old sheets in the washer before making my way back to Jack and i’s room and into the en suite bathroom. turning the shower water on warm, i strip my pajamas, determined to power through the pain.
it’s not long into my shower that i hear Jack enter the bathroom, obviously home from morning skate.
“hey, how was skate?” i ask him through glass shower walls while i rinse the conditioner out of my hair.
“it was good. i think we’ve got a high chance of beating them tonight.” he tells me. through the foggy glass i can see him sit on the bathroom counter top, not an unusual occurrence, as Jack often sits in here and converses with me while i shower.
“mother of hell!” i curse, grabbing at my bump as i hunch over in pain.
“woah, you okay? what’s wrong?” Jack jumps off the counter when i don’t respond, ripping the shower door open to look at me.
“it’s just braxton hicks. i’m fine, i just need to drink some water and put my feet up.” i tell him, turning off the shower water. he hands me my towel as i step out and holds me by my arm as i walk into our bedroom.
“are you sure? maybe we should go to the hospital.” he’s panicked, his words fast.
“seriously, Jacky, i’m okay. it’s my body, i think i would know if i was in labor.”
i get dressed as normal, Jack watching me worriedly as i do so, before making my way to the kitchen to eat some breakfast.
in the midst of pouring my cereal, the pain gets worse, and it’s at this moment when i decide that maybe i’m wrong. the pains aren’t as spaced out anymore, it’s possible i could be in labor. maybe it was actually my water breaking and i didn’t wet the bed. however, i refuse to go to the hospital before i can eat.
sitting at the table, i call out to my husband in between bites.
“Jack?”
“yeah, babe?” he’s sitting on the couch with Luke, watching Top Gun when he replies, his eyes never even leaving the screen.
“you should call your mom.” i tell him.
“hmm? why?” he keeps the same distracted tone, never looking away from the movie.
“because i’m in labor.”
“oh okay.” i can’t help but laugh, he obviously didn’t hear me or wasn’t paying enough attention. but Luke definitely did because he suddenly sits up straight on the couch, his head snapping to look over at me as he smacks Jack on the chest.
“ow, what?” Jack groans, finally tearing his eyes from the tv to look at his brother.
“you wanna ask your wife to repeat what she just said? because you obviously weren’t listening.” Luke says, nodding over to me. Jack turns to look at me as i shovel the last bite into my mouth.
“sorry, babe. what did you say?”
“i said you should call your mom.” i respond.
“yeah, i heard that. but, why?” he furrows his brows at me as i put my bowl in the sink, rinsing it out.
“because i’m in labor.” i repeat. his eyes grow wide as he shoots up from the couch.
“oh my god. do we have everything? did we even finish packing the hospital bag? we’re having a baby, holy shit.”
i’m about to speak up, but Luke beats me to it.
“bro, calm the fuck down! just take Lovie to the hospital. if there’s anything missing from the bag, i can bring it. just go!”
Jack nods, ushering me towards the front door as he grabs the hospital bag from our bedroom.
it doesn’t even seem like he’s calmed down once we arrive to the hospital. we sit in the waiting room for no longer than fifteen minutes before getting taken back to a private room. doctors and nurses rotate out of the room for a good hour before we’re finally able to relax.
“i should probably call my parents now? right?” he asks, sitting down on a small couch in the room. i nod, breathing through a contraction.
he calls Ellen. the phone rings a few times before the call connects and Jack switches it onto speaker.
“hey, sweetheart! you ready for your game?” she asks him.
“oh shit, i still need to call coach.” he looks over at me like a deer in headlights.
“what, honey? what do you mean?” Ellen chimes over the phone.
“uh, Lovie’s in labor, mom.”
“what?! i told your dad we should’ve come this week instead of next!” she chides. “how is y/n feeling? are you guys at the hospital yet?”
“she’s-” Jack looks back over to asses me and i give him a thumbs up. “good. she says she’s fine. yeah, we got here about an hour ago.”
“okay! i’m glad she’s feeling okay! your dad and i will be on the next flight we can get out there!”
“okay. i’ll see you then, mom. i gotta let coach know i can’t play tonight, so i gotta go.”
“okay, bye honey! see you as soon as i can!”
Jack sighs after he hangs up, holding his head in his hands.
“we’re gonna be parents.”

.˚ 𓈒 ࣪.𝝑𝝔 I'd let her light me on Fire ´ˎ˗
Leo Valdez x Fem!Reader Synopsis: after three weeks, the girls get a new roommate that Leo may or may not be quite familiar with!!! Warning(s): do I need to say cursing anymore Word Count: 2379 A/N: this is a normal AU, no godly shit 😛 why did I make Leo a lil bit of a loser?? also im gonna mention it now bc im lazy LOL, the dorms are like the ones in Gilmore girls (it makes me wish Yale was real💔) like they have the common area with the rooms connecting off of it, also writing in this pov is kinda annoying why did I do this, now lemme shut up Part 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After a good 3 weeks in the amazing Los Angelos, it was time to go home. Well, not home, school. Weirdly enough, the seven felt a little bit homesick from being away for so long, but that cleared up when they remembered they were going to have to sit in the van for another 5 agonizing days. FUN!! And no, Leo did not almost fall asleep at the wheel, that was just Hazel's motion sickness getting to her, making her see things if you will.
When they made it back, they all felt like zombies when they were trudging back to their rooms. Safe to say the second they finished unpacking, just like in LA, they all passed out.
The next day, at around 10AM, the boys were sitting on the couch together eating cereal and just talking when Percy's phone went off.
"Yo I just got a text from Annabeth," Percy said with mouthful of cereal. "They're finally getting their fourth girl."
Leo was intrigued by this. Ever since that one night in LA, he hadn't really stopped thinking of Y/N. One thing about Leo, he never had the warmth of a family. When he ran away from his foster homes, all he had was the warmth of a fire every night to keep him going before he got dropped in a new home, one colder than the last. Now he associated the warmth of a fire with a girl, one he met once who had a crazed look in her eye when she saw the lighter go off. Leo had a thing for girls on the weirder end, but he was totally fine with that.
"We should go," Leo suggested. Y/N's voice still rang in his head, 'I gotta go now, maybe I'll see you around. Leo Valdez.' Now this was delusion at its finest, but he didn't care.
"Of course you want to meet the new girl," Jason chuckled as he got up toward the kitchen. Leo gave a half-assed laugh that no one paid mind too. Percy texted Annabeth back saying that they were on their way. Leo had a little pep in his step on his way to the girls floor. When they got there, Percy did a secret little knock on the door and Annabeth opened it, quickly kissing Percy before allowing everyone inside.
"'cough' Corny 'cough'" This earned Leo some chuckles, but was utterly ignored by the lovely couple in front of him.
"Right this way everyone, me and Hazel were just watching a movie. Pipers helping her unpack." Frank and Percy made their way to the couch along their girlfriends while Jason followed Leo toward the empty room. Well, the no longer empty room.
When Leo pushed past the door, he saw a girl leaning forward grabbing stuff from a duffle bag. She had on some low waisted baggy jeans that sat just right by her hip bone, and a crop top that showed off her figure. A beautiful slim waist and hair that flowed down her back. 'Wow.'
She stood up straight, like she sensed Leo eyes lingering and staring at her. When she turned around, a smile quickly flooded her features. "Oh my god, hey there stalker boy." She chuckled as Piper and Jason gave him the weirdest look.
"Hey I'm not a stalker! If anything, you're the stalker. How'd you know where I went to school?" Leo began walking closer and waving his finger around to make his point.
'Well," Y/N poked Leo's forehead, sending his head back ever so slightly. "I didn't. This is the boarding MY PARENTS decided to send me too."
"Can we pause for a second," Piper interjected. "Do you two know each other?"
"Oh of course," Y/N beamed. "Back like 3-4 weeks in LA, I was just minding my business, right? Then suddenly I felt eyes on me, so I turned and saw him staring at me!"
"I had to stare-,"
"Oh you HAD to stare?"
"Well, yeah?? You were literally trying to light a jungle gym on fire??"
"That's dramatic."
"Oh so that's why you came back late with a giant smile," Jason teased. Leo turned and gave him a look like 'bro your selling right now', but Y/N just started giggling and walking closer.
"Aw I had you kicking your feet and grinning," she started pinching his cheeks, swinging his head from side to side. "Be honest did you miss meee??"
Piper and Jason couldn't help but laugh at the situation their friend was in, knowing he probably didn't mind it all that much.
"Miss you?" Leo grabbed her hands off his face. "I hardly know you??"
"Yeah okay," Y/N turned back around to continue to unpack. "Well you can stand there and keep staring, or you could help me unpack." This was a hard decision. Stare at a masterpiece among art, or do work. Leo ended up helping though, not even noticing Piper and Jason excusing themselves.
While Leo continued to help unpack, he made it to one of the last book bags of clothes. When Y/N turned her eyes widened. "Leo don't open that one."
"Hm, what'd you say," she was too late. He already opened it and dumped everything inside in front of it, some landing on his feet. Though, it wasn't really clothes, more so underwear and bras. "That's what you said," Leo said lowly.
"Well um, I got it from here Leo. Thanks for the help," Y/N was a little embarrassed to say the least. How could she not be when the guy she'd been thinking about just dumped her underwear on his feet.
"No yeah you got that," Leo said as he backed away to the door, knocking into the dresser on his way. "I'll be out here," and he stepped out the door.
He left her in the room (where she stood just there for a good minute), as he joined in the rest of his friends in front of the tv. "Hey guys."
"Hey Leo-" Percy cut himself off when he looked down, and started laughing.
"Whats so funny?"
"Look down," Annabeth snickered, making the rest of the people on couch laugh as well. For a fact, the last thing Leo was expecting to see was Y/N's underwear tangled with his ankle, but that's exactly what he saw. The look on the boy's face was seemingly unreadable, but he was definitely embarrassed as he lifted up his foot and pinched the underwear off with his thumb and pointer finger. Now watch this for perfect timing!!
"Um, Leo," as Y/N stepped out the room to ask the awkward question, but she cut herself off. "Oh my god Leo did you just try to steal my underwear??"
Leo started stammering over his words as Y/N started making her way over to him, grabbing the underwear. "Uh NO! Why would I want your underwear??"
"Well, you just had it," she laughed.
"Well not on purpose obviously," Leo crossed his arms. "Like what do you think of me hello??" She started walking back to her room.
"Well, you were already a little stalker," Y/N leaned on the doorframe with the doorknob in her hand. "Now we can add pervert to the list!" She let out a laugh that made Leo think he was in heaven listening to the angels above, then he remembered why she was laughing at him as she shut the door.
He could've sworn his eye twitched. Because obviously she knew he didn't take it, she just found it funny to mess with him. Call it flirting if you will.
"Dude, that's not how you flirt with girls you know," Frank joked from the couch. Now it was their turn to laugh at Leo.
"Yo what is this, 'national pick on Leo day?'"
"The joke wasn't funny when you said it yesterday, and it shockingly isn't any funnier today," Hazel chuckled.
"But seriously, how do you get a girls underwear tangled around your ankle before getting your first kiss," Jason asked, making everyone laugh some more.
"Why does the whole village feel the need to gang up on me right now?"
"To be fair you make it really easy," Piper added. "Do you even talk to girls other than the ones in this room?"
"No and this ones really pretty so can we cut me some slack??"
Y/N stood in her dorm, leaning up against the closed door listening in on the conversation going on in their common area. "This one." She giggled as she listened to them all berate Leo for his lack of skills with girls. As the conversation died down, she spent the next ten minutes or so unpacking before walking back out and joining the others.
When Y/N arrived this morning, the girls quickly made her feel welcome. It was really refreshing compared to most, if not all, the other schools she'd been to.
She walked out and saw everyone laid out on the couch. The only space open was conveniently next to Leo, which was fine considering he had some popcorn with him (bless Piper for convincing the school to let her keep her microwave). When she plopped down next to him, she leaned closer to grab some popcorn and whisper, "what movie are we watching?"
When Leo turned to face the girl next to him, he could've sworn he felt chills go down his back. It was just like that night in LA. "We're watching Fear Street, we planned on watching all three when we came back."
He had popcorn breathe. "Oh fire, I've been wanted to watch these too."
When she saw Leo laid back and comfortable, she took her chance to sit somewhat closer, slipping her arm under his and wrapping it around, leaning her head on his shoulder. His nervous system may have rebooted but that's besides the point.
When the bowl in front of the two was now empty, Leo started to stand, quietly gesturing Y/N to follow him. Leo led her into Piper's room, where the microwave and some snacks were. As he knelt down looking for food, Y/N sat down on the bed and watched Leo.
"So, how ya been?" Leo asked. "Considering you were living on the streets."
"Oh it was so hard, fending for myself in these dangerous streets as a small feeble woman," Leo chuckled. "It wasn't that bad, I was just staying in my car. Me and my beetle against the world."
"Yeah, I get that," Leo sat on the floor while the microwave started to spin. "I lived in my van a lot, I even named it festus."
"A van? Like scooby doo type shit? Cause that'd be pretty sick."
"THANK YOU! Finally someone understands me."
"I'm a pretty open minded person." The microwave peeped.
"Popcorns ready."
"How is there even a microwave in here you," Y/N asked.
"Pipers pretty persuasive I suppose." Leo sat down with the bowl of popcorn just eating it. He patted the spot on the floor next to him gesturing the girl in front of him to sit. She slid over and started eating the popcorn.
"You know, I'm kinda hungry for some actual food." She turned over to Leo. "Is there somewhere here to get some food?"
"Cafeteria's open?" She smiled and pulled the bowl of popcorn off of Leo's lap before grabbing his wrist and pulling him up and out the door. Y/N was snickering as she pulled Leo out of her dorm into the hallway before stopping and turning to him.
"I don't know where to go, still new here."
"Well naturally," he rolled his eyes and laughed. "Follow me, m'lady."
She didn't realize how hungry she was for some real food till she caught a whiff of some Mac n cheese and chicken tenders. Popcorn was cool and all, but this was much better.
"You don't have an ID yet right," Y/N nodded. "I'll treat you then."
She smiled as she followed him to the food, "Such a gentleman. Is this an apology for stealing my underwear?"
People gave weird looks before going back to what they were doing. "Dude you can't just say that," Leo rubbed his temples.
"I mean, it's true," She shrugged and started filling her plate with some gorgeous Mac n cheese and chicken tenders. When she finished Leo paid for both their meals and they sat at a table across from each other. "God this shits good."
"You sound starved.."
"To be fair I was saving my money for gas while I was out. Shits expensive so not as many full course meals as you'd think."
"Well, while your here I could make up for that, treat you some more like the gentleman I am."
"Aw, are you flirting with me?"
"Why is it working?" Leo joked (He wasn't joking).
"Woah, big talk from a guy who hasn't had his first kiss," she laughed but Leo just dropped his forked and stared straight at the girl in front of him.
"When did you-"
"Thin walls you know," she winked.
"It's not funny."
"Maybe just a little."
"I've kissed millions of girls!" Leo retorted.
"Really? Name one."
"A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell," Leo winked and Y/N just rolled her eyes.
"Ya know if you were honest it could've been a millions and 1." He looked straight at you. "Just kidding!"
"Is your biggest joy in life just making fun of me?"
"Maybe.. yes." She said as she took the last bite of her food. The two stood up and went to throw away their empty plates. They made their way back to the girls dorm. When Y/N opened the door she saw everyone about a fourth of the way through the third fear street movie. "We're back."
"Where'd you guys go," Piper asked.
"To eat, I was hungry," Y/n smiled as she plopped down in the same seat she sat in before, shortly followed by Leo. They both slid into the same positions as earlier, with their arms intertwined as they laid their heads on each other, but this time, it weirdly felt more comfortable. This was gonna be a fun year!!!

ʜᴀᴛᴇ ᴍᴇ || ꜱᴏꜰᴛᴡɪʟʟʏ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ
Softwilly x f!reader !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: smut, angst, unprotected sex, riding, sub Nick maybe a little?, language summary: Nick and Y/n get into a fight :( requested?: yes ! ↳ “perhaps a softwilly / f reader smut, maybe quite like angsty“
Not even an hour after his girlfriend left did Nick become so overwhelmed with guilt that he was out of bed and standing in Y/N’s doorway with head in hands and a million apologies. She gauged his sincerity with brows furrowed in thought. Nick sniffled, stifling tears as he watched her watch him.
He was an absolute wreck: beyond the dark bags and prominent veins in his eyes, there was something else, something besides regret: deep, unsettling fear. Nick was afraid that his outburst would be it for him that Y/N would realize how pathetic and shit he was (or at least he thought himself to be); he feared she would leave.
Y/N stepped forward and placed a chaste kiss to his lips, accepting his apologies. Nick continued to spend the next two weeks, making an effort every hour of every day to do or brainstorm what he could do to regain her trust completely. Never wanting her to think he could or would go off on her again.
Twitter - Y/Username · 202X-12-10 “I’m going off social media for a couple of days. If I survive, you will be hearing from me next week. #staysafe”
Nick read the tweet over again. It was not the most outlandish thing ever for someone to go on a break from social media's toxic environment and especially from twitter. No. It was not the most outlandish thing ever, but it was enough – the tweet, the wording, the timing – for a certain degree of concern.
When Y/N did not pick-up his call – Nick thought maybe she was in the shower.
And when Y/N did not reply to his texts – he considered her phone might be on silent.
And when Y/N did not respond to either in six hours – he wondered if she might want time to herself.
And when Y/N had not reached out to him in eighteen hours – Nick went to her apartment.
Y/N opened her front door as if in slow motion, giving Nick time to take her all in. Apart from some baggier joggers than usual, a shirt with dye or some other dark stain around the collar, and untidied hair, she looked…well…normal. And that was good, right? He went to see her because he was worried and there she was looking fine and safe and like herself.
“Hi,” she spoke low but not timid.
Both stood for a breath in silence, looking at each other. More so, Alex felt he was looking at Y/N, and, while her eyes were meeting his, she herself was not. A thousand-yard stare, that is what people called that type of look, but Alex never thought he saw it in person until he saw it from Y/N.
Nick sighed with relief. “Hi, babe.”
He asked, “Can I come in?”
“Sure.” Y/N backed up from the door allowing her boyfriend a few steps inside.
“I got you some breakfast; it’s your favourite,” Nick forced a chipper tone into his voice as he brought the bag he was holding low to his side, up near his face, and smiled like he was posing for a deliveroo advert. “I’ll plate it for you if you want.”
“I already ate cereal this morning.” Y/N dropped her gaze and headed towards the living room; she added an apathetic, “Thanks, though.”
Nick took the food to Y/N’s kitchen and put it in the fridge. He returned to see Y/N sat on her sofa, flipping through her continue watching list on netflix; he sat down beside her.
He asked, “What are you watching?”
“I don’t know.”
“We could watch something together.” He nudged her shoulder with his. “I’ll grab a blanket, and we can cuddle – you love that. What’s that movie you wanted to show me, remember, the one we were gonna watch on your birthday but weren’t able to? You remember the name?”
Y/N sighed, not taking her eyes off the screen. “We didn’t get to watch it because something happened with that week’s footage, and you were in a panic call with Isaac and them for three hours.”
“Oh. Right, right,” Nick said more to himself.
All the lights in the room were switched off. It would have been pitch black in the space if not for the bright screen and all the window curtains being drawn, letting in the somewhat obscured natural light of the chill morning. Nick watched as Y/N clicked through her continue watching list to the end and then started over again. Her grip on the remote was loose, and her eyes uncaring.
He said, “You seem tense. I could run you a bath, would you like that? It’d be nice and warm, relaxing. Put bubble bath or a bath bomb in there – make it smell nice.”
“No.” Y/N’s jaw became rigid as she spoke through her teeth, “Please don’t.”
“Last time you were down like this, you liked it when I ran you a bath.”
“Yeah?” Y/N spun her head to face him as her face took on an all-over wicked expression, her shoulders stiffened as if she were about to jump into a fighting stance; with a cruel curled lip, she continued, “Well, last time you were ‘like this,’ you yelled in my face telling me to fuck off.”
A small whimper escaped Nick’s mouth at the change, and for the first time that morning, it was him who dropped eye-contact. He babbled out, “I thought we were past that. I apologized; I didn’t mean it. It just happened.”
“No, it didn’t!” Y/N yelled and took to her feet. “Nothing we do ‘just happens.’ No matter how quick the decision was – you chose to shout at me. In that half-second before, you knew what you were going to do – you knew you were going to lash out – and you knew it was going to be at me. And a half-second is a hell of a long time for you to have backed out, for you to have not done it, but you did.”
Y/N moved to face out a window, away from Nick; she sighed a long sigh that ended with a hiccup. A near minute passed before she turned around, with eyes wet enough to shine even in the low light. She said, “It sucks. It sucks because we didn’t choose to be how we are, and we did nothing to deserve it. But no matter how screwed up the chemical balance in your brain is, you’re still responsible for your actions, Nick. You being here now, playing nurse or whatever, that doesn’t change what happened.”
“Neither does being cold and pushing me away.” Nick jumped to his feet as well; he stood still, gesturing with palm-open hands as he spoke. “You need support right now, even if you’re too stubborn or proud to admit it. Or maybe you feel like it would make you a burden to reach out. You’re not a burden, Y/N.”
He searched her eyes for a break in their hardness as he continued, “Just because you feel something, doesn’t mean it’s true. And that sounds so simple a concept to grasp, but you and I both know it’s not. I’m trying to grow and learn as well. I am. I’m not here to try and further make things up to you – I’d like to be able to, but that is not what I’m doing right now. I’m here because if I were to walk out now, knowing how upset you were, I would hate—” his voice breaks on the last word, and he starts over, “I would hate myself even more than I already do.”
“Nick, I—”
“You can hate me, Y/N.” A tear slips over his waterline. “I’d understand if you did, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m here for you. I’m always here for you.”
Y/N crossed the room and crashed into Nick in an embrace that should have left one or the other bruised. Both clung to one another tighter than ever before. And as Y/N had her hands wrapped around him, she felt how Nicks shoulder shook slightly. It was comforting to know that it was not just her who was struck with emotion, who was being vulnerable; it was them together. As it should be
“You really hurt me, Nick,” Y/N said, her words muffled from how she buried her face in his shoulder.
He kissed her hair and whispered back, “I know. I’m so sorry.”
Nick’s eyes met hers, lowering his face and pressing his lips on her soft skin. His lips met hers, and so does his other hand on the side of her face. The kiss is sweet, soft and screams “I’m sorry.”, “I’m so stupid.” and “I’ll never do it again.”
It should have been a quick small kiss but when she started to pull away, Nick wasn't ready to let go. Pulling her head forward, he leaned into her lips with a groan.
He hovered over her, his lips pressing kisses to her neck. When his lips touched the part of her neck that melted her insides, she gently sighed.
"Is this okay?" Nick mumbled against her jaw and it felt like her brain could short-circuiting. His lips felt heavenly against her skin, making goosebumps rise in his wake.
"Yes, this is perfect. Keep going." She softly urged. His hands found her stomach before they wandered more, it's the only way he’d be able to learn how to navigate her body. His hands slid up her body, feeling the hem of her bralette before sliding around her back. His lips met hers in a languid kiss- soft and slow. She moaned softly against him as he pressed his hips into hers, the pressure pushing his growing hard on against her heat. The sounds she was beginning to make sent shockwaves of pleasure through him, heating him up from the inside.
Her arms quickly wrapped around his neck, pulling him down to her, despite her feet tippy toeing to reach his tall figure. He lifted her off the floor and her legs wrapped instinctively around his waist she could feel his long fingers pressed against her skin through her joggers. As swollen lips were reuniting, he gestured her hips against his firm waist causing her to let out a whimper. The sudden friction against her core caused warmness to travel all across her body.
His fingers found the back of her bralette and he could only hope he could figure out how to get the clasp undone. He distracted her with his lips and by gently grinding his cock against her, the heat coming from between her legs making him so hard it hurt. Thankfully, the clasp popped open and he pulled the fabric off of her body.
As Nick’s lips and hands wandered her body, an even more explicit feeling coursed through her veins. She wanted- no, needed more of him.
“Nick,” She let out softly as she continued to rock herself against his hard on, all the tension she’s had for the past month soothed against her pants.
“We’ll talk about it later.” He whispered in response. And with that she was content with what was happening. She nodded and pressed her lips against his cheek.
Their eyes met and It felt like they were in a trance. She lifted her head towards the hall, non-verbally telling him to take them to her room. He smiled and turned his body towards the room.
She fell back onto the bed, her legs leaving space for Nick to lay between them. She made a sound that matched his, and quickly things intensified. Shamelessly, Y/n and Nick indulge in each other's bodies. Completely forgetting the prior conflict and now instead focusing on the feeling of grinding against each other. The layers of fabric and underwear creating more sensitivity and friction, quickly working both of them up.
Once Nick had Y/n laid out for his display, he took her all in. He never usually took the time to admire her and he took all the time now he didn’t before to take her in.
"You're so perfect, Y/n." He whispered, his eyes drifting over every inch of bare skin presented to him. Her cheeks flush even deeper as she whispered back a quiet 'thank you' before he reaches down to spread her legs wide for him to slot himself between and her arms loop around his bare shoulders.
Taking a break from the borderline make out session the two of them were having, Nick struggled to keep his composure. Breaking away from the girls lips every few seconds to replace the breath of air that was lacking from his lungs before deciding he wanted to actually breathe and moved onto her neck. Placing his forearms at either side of her head as he peppers the underside of her jaw with his lips. She let out a moan and squirmed in response, Nick chuckles between kisses.
“You like that, huh?” He whispered against her skin.
She did. Of course she did, but there was no reason for Nick to gloat about it. An idea formed in her mind, and a smile painted her face, wrapping her legs around him and pulling him closer. It caught Nick by surprise and his arms weaken, pressing her body more into his growing bulge, she slowed her hip movements and he attempts to use his hands to steady himself, but he fails and falls back onto her.
“Fuck.” He groaned beside her ear, and she bit her lip in arousal.
“Yeah?” She whispered in a condescending tone. “Yeah, you like that huh?” She mocked his previous words, and Nick struggled to say anything.
Right then he was all moans and whimpers. That along with his sweet words of encouragement to keep her hips moving. Breathless quick, “Just like that.” and “Keep going.”
She really let him enjoy the moment, but now that she was in control, she definitely hadn't forgotten about the fight. That and Nick’s bullshit reasoning. Sure, she believed him, but regardless, the whole situation was still on her mind. Now a bit annoyed as well as turned on by her boyfriend, she releases Nick from her grasp and for him the denial is instant.
“What th-” He whined, but it's quickly cut off by Nick being pushed onto his back.
Already desperate for the other’s touch, clothes are swiftly discarded before getting a new position. One where she was on top of Nick.
“Are you sure you wanna do it like this?” He reached up to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear
“I wouldn’t get in this position if I wasn't sure.” She told with an underlying attitude he was too distracted to pick up on.
Slowly, with patience and lots of little and not too little noises, she sunk herself onto Nick. A moment passed to get used to the position before she could start moving. And already Nick was struggling to keep up with her - normally it started slow and things would progress based on the both of them. But right now, she was throwing that out the window and instead doing this the way she wanted to. And truthfully, Nick didn't mind one bit.
He adored watching her on top of him, a new found favorite position discovered. Moans of names left their lips as Nick’s thumb swept against her nipple and Y/N felt a ray of lightning hit her core. He could feel her nipple hardening at his touch as he proceeded to do the same with the other nub. As he toyed with Y/N’s breasts he lowered a hand to her hip, guiding her down onto his hard dick and with the impact of both of their cores meeting they both let out groans, not daring to stop the growing feeling of impending orgasm in both their stomachs.
“Fuck.” The word is sharp and quick. “Fuck, fuc-ahh just uh- like- that. Just like that.” He encourages her.
“Promise me you’re never gonna do anything that stupid again.” She blurted out him, mind partially still on the situation.
“I won’t.” Nick whined.
“And you’re not gonna yell at me.”
“No n-never.” He reassures.
With Nick’s promise in mind, she pressed a kiss to his lips, feeling the coil wind tighter until it snapped, and her back arched with a silent moan. She clamped and convulsed against him as Nick chased his own orgasm, pulling her hips down harsher. For those seconds of pure bliss and pleasure, she thought about nothing but her boyfriend. Not as the guy who hurt her. Or ruined her birthday by not watching a movie with her. But as her boyfriend. Her Nick.
Feeling her gush continuously around him drove him over the edge and he slammed into her, stilling as he came inside. She moaned as she felt him fill her up. Once down from his high, she climbed off him and laid beside him, exhausted.
“Are you gonna do this every time we argue ?” He asks between breaths once the post orgasm clarity hits, his chest rising and falling.
“Next time,” she said with a chuckle, “I’m kicking you out”

katsuki
Tumblr media
Since you like to cook and katsu is good at cooking, yall can have lil dinner dates yk?
anyways yeah katsuki doesnt care if you eat like 6-8 times a day n make a lot of food
whatever makes you happy and comfy is what he wants for you
Usually you make food for the two of you in the afternoons, a mini date(?)
he spots you in the dorm kitchen and makes his way over to you; snaking his arms around your plush waist, putting his head on your neck
Katsu observes the food that your stirring rn and goes:
“Are you making a plate for yourself y/n?”
“Yeah..?”
“Why’s it such a small damn batch then?”
“Im just… I guess im not that hungry today”
“Damn nitwit you think I dont notice? yesterday you only ate itty bitty snack. now today your portion of the food is rat sized shit”
he left the silence for you to answer, which you didnt really wanna answer since katsuki would quite literally explode if you told him the truth
“Theres nothing to worry about i just kinda got off tack the last two days ig”
“…fine”
the next couple days hasnt been any better
he saw you scrolling through tumblr, but around this time you were eating or at least both at the same time
“y/n stop fucking with me”
you: 😀❓
“tf do you mean”
“Im not blind y/n you stopped eating, this isnt like you”
he was practically towering over you while you were sitting on the bed
Kat stared in the middle of your gorgeous soul
“speak damnit..”
“… do you like me this way?”
“What?”
“Like.. big? and i know eating all the time wont help either”
“This is the most dumbassery I've ever encountered in my whole life, it doesnt matter to me if you are bigger than most people. the only damn thing that matters is the person who you are in the inside… im not tryna be sappy damnit”
katsu crossed his arms “now, were going to eat your f/f whether you like it or not” he grabbed your hand and dragged you to the kitchen to have a lil dinner/ cooking date
throughout the dinner/cooking date he said lil reassuring words to you to help out your insecurity
kirishima
Tumblr media
^ this is basically how he acts after sparring
Kiri hugs you from the back placing gentle kisses on your neck, going up down n across the nape
the gesture tickles you a bit, scrunching your shoulders up a bit
he squeezes you, loving the way that your whole body feels like a pillow
“How about we go out and eat today?”
“But its really expensive, i can just make something quick for you”
Kiri squishes you even more and basically hops on the couch with you still in his arms “but we can get all the food that we want tho!”
All you wanted to do is just run away, laser all the fat off and just be done with it and feel like a ‘normal’ person, without feeling like your being judged all the time
“Yeahh but we can also eat something… more healthy”
“but you always love to eat with me! whats wrong?”
“Idk i just dont feel like it today”
“Its ok, somedays are just like that”
he kisses you quickly and yall stay and cuddle there for a bit
eventually you guys pick up some snacks together
even just picking out something or mentioning food just makes you go uneasy and eiji notices
for the whole week you havent been doing your normal cooking, just simple quick snacks after school and avoiding eating out
kiri realizes he has to do something bout this
“hey baby?”
you were sitting at the table, scribblin things down
“did you eat today?”
“Yeah i ate some cereal and thats about it”
😐 “baby no you gotta eat more, why dont you cook for us!”
you continued scribbling
“But i dont need to eat more do you even know what i look like??”
“Yes i do and its a wonderful sight”
“Eijiro no”
“Eijiro yes!”
“wtf is wrong with you kiri”
“I look like a bloated walrus or a whale about to explode”
“No you do not look”
he squat down to your tummy, lifted the fabric that was covering it kissed it a bunch of times n nuzzling and everything
your cheeks got heated really fast by the action
he looked up to you “see? you got nothing to be ashamed of, its a really nice pillow” he went to your chest and nuzzled that too “and heres your really sweet personality”
he hugs you really tightly and kisses at the crown of your head and his hands goes to your cheeks and squishing them too

(this idea was from  @weepingredwillow I hope I did it justice)
Also, I allude to the headcanon that sweetheart and Sam are siblings 
Tender love, And-
Sam and Masc Darlin belated after care 
⚠️NSFW Mentioned⚠️bruises⚠️ mentions of past trauma⚠️ angst⚠️
No proofread 
——————————————————
Darlin woke up to the soft morning light shining in their face from the window. They adjusted their eyes to the glow, searching for the face that they usually wake up to…a face that is conspicuously absent.
Then the memories of their conversation with Sam last night came flooding back. He’s at Vincents. helping him with landscaping plans. 
He must’ve left before the sun came up. They could stay in bed all day, but. sadly, this was the day where they also had things to do. Darlin rolls over to sit up and is immediately met with an intense sharp pain in their side. “GOD!FuCk-”
Darlin’s POV:
“God that fucking stings!”
I sat up from the bed clutching my side, carefully walking to the mirror. Well doesn’t this bring back memories.
I look in the mirror and lift up my tank top. “Oh shit” a large dark bruise on my side “how the fuck-Oh” the memories of me and Sam escapades last night start coming back to me. We had talked about using a little more force but….he did not push me against the wall that hard. And even if he did my bruises don’t hurt NEARLY this fucking bad. I haven’t felt this bad of pain since-
“Aw shit….i must’ve re-Fucked it up” should’ve listened to Gabe when he told me to drink the milk out of my cereal bowl growing up. “it’ll make your bones stronger!” Who would’ve guessed the old man would be right.
Good going! First time your a little rougher with your mate in bed and ya fucked it up by getting hurt. I sit back down on the bed, wincing at the pain from grabbing my phone off the nightstand.
“Healershealershealershealers” I scroll through my phone contacts. Cursing myself for not learning healing magic like Marie was always wanting me and Milo to do. Then I see my saving grace 
invis-bitch
Given how close they are to Sam it’s not my best option, but better than an earful from Marie. I dial the number and put it on speakerphone.
“investigator Greer speaking” “investigator Greer~ is this some film noir scene! Am I supposed to put on some sort of cheap jersey accent and tell you about how my husband has mysteriously vanished~” “very funny. I’m just testing it out” “it sounds nice i’m sure if Milo heard you say that he would tackle you right then and there” a chuckle can be heard on the other end of the phone “are you gonna get on the topic of why you called? Or am I supposed to guess?” “oh, right. are you free at all?” “actually I’m at work right now. why what’s up?” “Shit-never mind I thought I left something at your house..but it’s right in front of me!” “you sure? You don’t sound normal” “i’m fine just woke up. see you at the next pack meeting. investigator Greer~”
I Hang up the phone and grab my bag. Taking a few ibuprofen. Before heading to the shower. 
Nobody’s POV 
Darlin gets out of the shower and gently slithers into a tank top and boxers.
*BUZZBUZZBUZZ* invis-bitch
“can’t get enough of me huh?”
“you worry me” “you’re not the first person who’s told me that” “given your track record I won’t be the last” “so what’s up?” “your hurt what happened?” “you got all of that from a phone call? No wonder you’re one of dumps best” “Answer the question Tank” “FINE. Me and Sam wanted to get a little rougher in bed and he pushed me against the wall too hard…” “did Sam not realize it?” “well, if he did, I wouldn’t be sitting here with a broken rib talking to you now would I?” “usually Sam’s pretty careful with his strength..” “🎶it was the heat of the moment🎶-OW! shit!” “try not to strain yourself DumbASS” “why do you sound so pissy?” “I had to cancel my dinner plans because I have to work late. stop deflecting” “…asshat” “why didn’t you call Sam?” “he’s already out  helping Vinny with shit and the sun is bright as hell. He can’t go anywhere” “but that’s not the only reason” “what makes you say that?” “because you hide your emotions the same way Milo does. You give some vague general ass answer, in hopes to satisfy the person asking because you don’t want to burden them” “wow getting read to filth on a Tuesday afternoon”
“spill. i’m literally sitting here doing basic ass paperwork I’ve got time” “…..Sam takes his time with everything…and that’s time I’m happy to give him..i’m scared that one stupid accident will make us go backwards…” “….do you wanna know why me and Milo work so Well?” “…sure” “Me and Mi work so well because we communicate on everything. “Hey love the knots are a little too tight” “hey sweetheart can you use a little less teeth?” We constantly have that line of intimate communication To the point where it’s as simple as talking about dinner” “but i don’t want to-” “To scare him? Oh Honey that Man is ALL IN! because you’re his safe person. He has a level of trust with you that he’s never had with anybody else” “..so what do I do?” “have a conversation. I promise you it’s not as hard as it sounds” “….thanks for the advice” “yeah, try actually listening to it”
They hang up the phone. and grab a heating pad out from the bottom of the cupboard under the sink 
————————Time jump———————————
“I’m Home Darlin!” Darlin walks out of the bedroom “hey baby” they give him a soft kiss and wrap their arms around his neck. Their side burned in pain, but they managed to hide it  “how was your day?” “pretty uneventful. what about you?” “Who would’ve guessed Vincent is so picky when it comes to outdoor decor *sigh* but I’m happy to be home” “are you gonna go get cleaned up or do you want to chill on the couch” “we can chill on the couch. That’s fine with me” the two sit on the couch and cuddle up close, being careful as to not sit in a way that would injure them further 
“hey Sam?” “yeah Darlin?” they sit up and turn to him “um…I…I noticed something this morning that sparks an important conversation we need to have…” “is everything OK?” “yeah, everything’s fine. Justhear me out OK?” “all right I’m hearing ya” “last night was great it felt great. Everything was great. but this morning I woke up and saw the effects of it…” “..did I hurt you?” “….yeah. I didn’t want to tell you.. because I didn’t want you to feel shitty over a mistake..” “Darlin..I appreciate you looking out for me like that but I can handle a little constructive criticism when it comes to you. I wanna make sure you’re comfortable” “and I am comfortable! It just needs some tweaking..” “and I’m more than happy to do that…can I see” “how did you know the pain is still there?”
“you were walking weird..thought you just fell asleep on something…please let me see” Darlin lifts up their tank top and exposes the large bruise covering their side. They can hear sam’s gasp
“i’m so sorry Darlin” “Sam it was a simple mistake.. you don’t need to apologize for that” “….at least let me fix it..let me give you that tender love and care I should’ve given you last night before we fell asleep” Darlin nods and Sam gestures for them to lay down, And turns them to their side. “can I touch?” “Yea. Sammy baby you don’t need to ask. it’s not like we’re back in my old apartment after I fought those vamps. i’m familiar with these..callus hands~” they smiled  and for a split second it brought Sam back to that old apartment and hell, even through tears and blood and pain his darlin still smiled.
Sam’s hands gently shifted around their torso. Sam’s magic didn’t tingle like Marie’s or Milo‘s mate’s. It felt warm. Like a roaring fire on a cold winters night. or a warm blanket after a long day. It was a Sam feeling. it’s their favorite feeling. 
Once the healing was all done Darlin went to pull down their shirt, but Sam stopped them 
“I never said I was done” “but you finish the healing” “yeah, I plan to do much more than that kind of healing” they stopped his hands “Sam I don’t want it to take too much out of you. That was a lot of magic” “i’m fine darlin. I only got a dull headache it’ll go away in a little while. But right now I wanna do this. if you’ll let me” “..Fine”
Sam straddles their legs. And leans forward.  planting soft kisses on their side where the bruise used to be. Gently kissing up and down their torso. the feeling of his scruff against their skin tickled against their scars. “I can feel you almost laughing” “it feels nice! but it also tickles” “i’m glad” “….But..Ya know what would feel even better?~” “what’s that?” “feeling those soft lips on mine~” “is that so~” they adjust themselves  so they’re laying on the couch and Sam’s on top of them. He wraps his arms around their neck. And Darlin locks their lips. A soft and warm kiss.  one of those kisses where it just feels like everything’s right in the world. (even when things aren’t) Sam breaks away and gazes into their eyes. 
“I love you Sam” “I love you too Darlin”
————————————————————————
This might be shit 
But that’s OK. However, I am not. 
I’m not OK 
I promise that I will write something other than Sam&Darlin soon (I just really love them)
Hope you enjoyed

ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE IS ON NETFLIX
also rwrb au snippy please pleaseplease please pleaseeeee
It's Diwali dani please
It's not available in my region yet 😭 (but yall know I'm gonna watch it every day once it's out there hehe)
A snippy from one of their many late-night phone conversations...
“You’re in the tabloids again.”
“When am I not?” Max scoffs, pouring milk into his cereal, like a normal person. 
His phone pings and Max checks his messages to find a link from David. He reads the headline and scoffs louder this time. 
MAX LIGHTWOOD-BANE SHOCKER: America's First Son Goes Daddylicious!  – Who's the Mystery Mom?
“I see one of these at least once a month,” Max informs as he pours honey into his cereal. 
“You’ve been busy, I see,” David hums from the other end. 
“Jealous I’m getting more action than you?” Max asks with a grin. 
He can literally feel David’s eye-rolling all the way across the Pacific Ocean. “Your parents don’t mind?”
“I don’t think so,” Max shrugs as he gets settled on the couch and turns down the volume of the TV. “My dad probably has a big meeting coming up. The press is just trying to stir drama so they can distract people from real issues. You know, sometimes the White House releases our own rumours when we need to distract people. Last term when everyone was criticizing my dad's decision about the whole North Korea thing, the White House released a rumour that I'm joining the army.”
“Does it bother you?” David asks him. “That both sides are using you like that?”
“No,” Max replies after giving it some thought. No one’s ever asked him that before. “If it’s not me, then it’s Rafael. I’d rather it be me.”
David is quiet for a moment. 
Max clears his throat. “If it wasn’t clear, I like the attention.”
“Yes, that has been abundantly clear,” David chuckles. “Still, news like this can’t be good for your anxiety.”
Right. Max forgot he kind of blabbered about that to the other man. He really needs to stop bearing out his soul in the middle of the night. Practice some goddamn self-control! 
Thankfully, David signed the NDA. So, it’s not like he’s gonna tell anyone else about it. 
“My anxiety is fine,” Max reassures, more confidently than he’d like. "Shit like this doesn't faze me at all."
“So, you’re not worried that you’ve gotten some pool girl pregnant?” David asks curiously.
“I can’t get anyone pregnant, actually,” Max says before he can help himself. So much for self-control. “It’s, uh, it’s a medical thing.”
David is quiet again. 
Max checks the phone to see if the call is still connected. 
He wonders if David’s confused or if he’s just looking for the right response. It’s usually the second thing with David. He’s always so careful with his words. Maybe Max should get some lessons from him. 
“I’m sorry to hear that, Max,” David says gently and eventually.
“Meh, my babies were gonna be too hot to handle anyway,” Max says with a mouthful of cereal so his voice doesn’t sound weird and wobbly. “How about you, your majesty? Everything working alright down there?”
David coughs at that. “Yes. It’s all fine.”
“I bet it is,” Max snickers. “You probably have a dozen fucking doctors hovering over your junk to make sure all the family jewels are intact.”
“You vocabulary, as always, is a wonder to behold.”
“Am I wrong though?”
“Not exactly,” David replies after a moment. “Producing an heir is part of the job description after all.”
“Yikes.”
“Indeed.”

Tumblr media
Not my gif 
Alex Law rarely got sick – that was one of the many points of himself that he bragged about, when he got the chance to. So rarely, in fact, that it was a small joke between yourself and Juliet that when he did eventually get sick – which, naturally he would, as was life – that it would be ‘the end of the world’. Of course, that joke came around to bite you in the ass eventually. The day started out fine – until you saw Alex standing there, his auburn hair a mess; unbrushed and erratic. His eyes seemed to have a hard time staying open, and you couldn’t recall a time he’d looked so under the weather – not even when he’s had some of his worst hangovers. Juliet looked up from her morning cup of tea, and sighed quietly; although she and David had to work today, there was little doubt that Alex would cause a fuss for you during that time. “Go back to bed, Alex.” She called to him as he slowly shuffled into the kitchen to try and get himself some food. He grumbled some half-words in reply to her, but besides that, ignored her presence, yours too. You and Juliet shared a look with one another, which loosely translated would have been something akin to “uh oh” or “oh shit”. Juliet’s expression shifted to an apologetic one; as much as she wanted to stay and help you handle the ill Law, she really could not keep asking for time off of work. “I’ll get you something,” She told you quietly as she passed, “My treat. I think you’ll have earnt it after today.” Her eyes darted briefly to Alex again, who was now slumped over a half-eaten bowl of cereal.
“Thanks, Jules…” You whisper. “Wish me luck… I feel like he’s going to kick up a fuss about everything.” You start to walk her towards the door, as Juliet gives a half-scoff, half-laugh. “As if he doesn’t normally.” “You know what I mean.” You reply, shaking your head slightly. “Mhm – I’ll see you later…” She gave a polite nod, before closing the door on her way out. You turned on your heel, and quickly moved back to the kitchen, where Alex was now putting his empty plate in the sink. “I think you should go back to bed, Alex,” You suggested to him, “I’ll make you a drink, and you can-“ “I don’t want to go back to bed.” Alex contested, “I don’t need to go back to bed.” You sighed at this; and so it begins. This was how the day was going to go - the man child of the apartment kicking up a fuss about every little inconvenience he can. “I think you do. You never know, if you’re nice to me, I’ll try to set up the telly in your room.” Were you treating him like some stroppy teenager? Maybe – but sometimes there was no other way to treat him. He could be just as difficult as a teenage boy; sometimes you and Juliet mused if he had ever actually grown up at all. You were both of the school of thought that no, he had not. David, on the other hand, would occasionally stick up for his so called friend – but only when he could first, be bothered to, or second, see a blaring misconception or mistake in your arguments. “Or,” The auburn haired man interrupted your thoughts, “I could just lay on the sofa and watch from there.” You had little time to protest to this rebuttal, as the auburn haired man got to his feet, and wandered through to the living room, leaving his now empty cereal bowl discarded on the table, for you to clean up. You sighed in annoyance, quickly moving the dirty bowl into the sink to wash up a little later, before trailing after Alex to make sure he didn't cause any trouble. Thankfully, however, it didn't seem like he was going to right at that moment. There he was, in his usual spot, legs up on the arm-rest of the sofa - despite how many times you or one of the others had told him not to sit like that - arms folded over his chest as he stared over at the screen of the apartments television. Very little was different from normal, every day life, the only noticeable difference was the fact that he was wearing his old dressing gown, rather than his usual day to day clothing of a sweater and jeans. "Get me some tissues, will you?" Alex grumbled, sniffling quietly to make his point. "You could have done that yourself before sitting on your arse again," You pointed out, but slowly started to make your way to the bathroom regardless. You had to keep the status quo somehow. With a slightly annoyed shake of your head, you grabbed a roll of toilet paper, before returning to the sick man on the sofa. You tossed the item at him with the intention of hitting the top of his head, but accidentally hit him smack in the middle of his face instead. With a cry of both surprise and protest, Alex sat upright, giving you a harsh glare. "What the fuck was that for?" He asked, irritably grabbing the toilet roll from where it had settled into his lap, rolling a few pieces around his hand, before tossing the rest aside for the time being. You gave a slight shrug in response to his question. "Sorry," "Damn right." He huffed, turning his face away from you as he wiped his nose. "What are you trying to do, kill me?" If he hadn't been in such as fowl mood, this joke would have been a lot clearer, however, it ended up sounding like a sour jab at you. "No, I'm trying to look after your sorry arse, because you're clearly feeling too sorry for yourself to do it alone." You responded, quite calmly. Alex froze mid nose-wipe, his eyes turning slightly to rest on you, narrowing slightly in irritation. You stood your ground though, all but used to the way the man could act when ill, or just in a bad mood. "I'm not a baby." He grumbled, shaking his head slowly at you, auburn hair swaying slightly with the movement.  "Could have had me fooled." You retorted, raising your brows as you folded your arms over your chest. "I've offered to help you, but you've shoved it back in my face... If you need me, I'll be doing housework." You informed him, before turning heel and heading into the kitchen to start the unavoidable task of housework. About an hour had passed before Alex finally started to move himself; rolling himself off of the admittedly not very comfortable sofa to go and find you. "Y/NNN..." He whined, coming to lean against the doorframe of the kitchen. "What, Alex?" You responded, quite curtly, not even turning to look at him, keeping the majority of your attention focused on your current task - cleaning out the sink. "Can you make me some soup?" He asked, and with a sigh you put down the sponge you had been using, turning your head to face him. "Why can't you get it yourself?" You reply, gesturing over to the cupboards. All Alex did in reply to this was pout, giving you the best puppy dog eyes that he could muster. You sigh, somewhat annoyed by his sudden and renewed bout of pestering, before setting to work heating the soup in the microwave. "You want me to feed it to you next?" You asked him, your irritation somewhat clear. When you looked over at him, though, he genuinely seemed to be taking a moment to really think on the offer. "Uh... No..." He replied after a few moments silence. "No, I think I've got it... Thanks." He stumbled off after you handed him the almost scalding soup. You tried to shrug off the encounter as just him being ill - but something in the back of your mind kept saying 'Maybe it's not. Maybe he wants to spend some time with you.' You paused; why would he even think of doing that, let alone want it? All too much did he treat you and the other flatmates as little more than something he had to smile and endure - unless he wanted something from any of you. Curiosity overcoming you, you returned to the living room, brows creased in a look that would have been familiar to your flatmates - the one of questioning, or interrogation. However, the man you had wished to quiz about his motives would not be responding; he had passed out, the bowl of soup left mostly empty beside him on the floor. He looked incredibly peaceful like that, away from the problems that often plagued the flat, and it's inhabitants, such as the 'friendly' disputes and tensions. You took the remainder of the soup away, not wanting him to accidentally fall on the bowl, should he try and roll over like he did from time to time in bed; quite a few times had you and your fellow residents woken up thanks to the unmistakable thump of Alex falling onto the wooden floors, followed briskly by a torrent of curses - directed at what exactly, you could never be sure. All you were sure of, was that Alex was going to be in a foul mood that morning. You were almost certain that if he were to do the same now, he'd be in an absolutely vile mood when he woke up - or maybe he'd keep sleeping if it the illness were bad enough. You decided to keep an eye on him; to check in on him every so often, when you got a spare moment from the housework you were getting on with. When he started to stir about an hour and a half later, you took a minute to break from your current task, getting him a glass of water from the kitchen and placing it on the table beside him, so he could reach it if and when he wanted to. He gave a half-hearted grumble when you started to walk away; he seemed to have picked up on the fact that you had been there, if only for a moment. "Where are you going...?" He asked, his voice little over a murmur. "To do some more housework... Are you feeling a little better?" You questioned, your voice soft, full of a little more compassion than it had been the last time the pair of you had spoken. "No..." He replied, shuffling where he lay in a futile effort to get comfortable; it would not work, nothing would be end up being as comfortable as he wanted it to be so long as he was ill. He moved again, looking at you once more, before flinging his arm over the back of the sofa. "Come over here..." He tried to beckon you over to join him, but ended up making more of a grabby hand in your direction. Though part of you wanted to just ignore him and get on with your day, you could hardly stop yourself from moving round the sofa to attempt to lay with him - with a great amount of difficulty, due to such a thin surface; you ended up a tangle of limbs, both somehow lying one on top of the other. "You better not tell Juliet about this..." You murmured to him, but Alex shrugged off your concern. "Just tell her I dragged you here and fell asleep... She'll probably believe you..." He yawned, trying to nuzzle his face into the crook of your neck, but ended up making more contact with your shoulder instead. It didn't take him very long to fall asleep after that, the warmth radiating from you soothing him into a somewhat peaceful slumber. You didn't try to make a fuss about it - somewhat glad that you were able to help him and finally get him to settle down. About fifteen minutes or so later, you felt your eyes get heavy too; maybe the need for a nap was infectious, or maybe it was the fact that your body was finally getting a chance to rest - you didn't really care all that much, you just gave in to sleep, snuggling up to the man next to you.

Magic City (2d x autistic transboy reader)
Morning after part 1
Start from the beginning
"So? How was it?" Ace asks me as we walk back to the house.
"It was...interesting" I reply.
"Was is really?" He shoves his hands in his jacket pockets.
"Yeah, it was surprisingly"
"Must've been good at her job then"
"We just talked but it wasn't like a fake conversation that they'd normally give, it was genuine"
"That's it?"
"I like actually having a conversation and not have some bimbo try to get into my pants"
"That's true, no more child support bills"
"I think I'm gonna head back tomorrow"
We walk back to the house and go in.
"Did you two have fun?" Noodle asks with a smile on her face.
Ace and I look at each other and nod.
"What happened?" She asks.
"Luv, I'd like to tell you about it but I'm very tired" I say.
She pouts. "Awe okay but you better tell me tomorrow".
" I will I promise " I smile and start to walk upstairs. I get to my room and close the door behind me. My room is an absolute mess. No matter where we are it's always a mess. Clothes are scattered everywhere, papers on the floor and my desk, coffee mugs on my desk with empty cigarette packs. Right in the middle of the mess is my lyric journal.
I pick it up and skim through all the little doodles and everything. I look in the back and look at the ripped in half #FREEMURDOC sticker. I slowly trace my finger over it.
I miss Murdoc.
No, I don't. He was abusive.
But I still miss him.
UGH, I DON'T MISS HIM!
I slam the journal down and run my fingers through my hair. I need a drink. I know I said I was tired but I need to go out. I go down stairs and walk out the door then go to the pub. Once I get there I guess I drink like there's no tomorrow then black out.
-the next day-
I wake up on a couch in an unfamiliar setting. The living room is very light like a light color scheme. Egg shell white walls, grey furniture, coffee table in the middle of the floor, and a hanging plant by the window. I don't know who's flat I'm in but at least I still have my clothes on and not waking up beside someone. I can smell waffles being made.
My head is pulsing though not as bad as I thought it would be. I wonder what happened last night? A soft singing voice comes from the kitchen. I slowly get up and start to walk to the kitchen. As I get closer I recognize they're singing (favorite Gorillaz song). I get to the kitchen and see (y/n) standing there, messy hair, cooking in an over sized shirt and basketball shorts. I smile and lean against a wall.
"Ello luv" I say.
She jumps and looks at me. "Jesus christ don't scare me!"
I chuckle at her. "Sorry I didn't mean to. But uh not to be straight forward but how did I get here?"
"Oh well, you were shit faced drunk and came to Magic City. You didn't have your phone on you, we did not have Ace's number to call him soo I took you back to my place. I'm sorry I really didn't know what to do with you and I did not just want to leave you somewhere I mean you were fucked up. Anyway, once we got back I set you on the couch but you put me beside you and laid your head on my lap and started to cry about Murdoc. Long story short I was up until 3 am listening to you vent and making you drink water so you wouldn't have a bad hangover".
I'm taken back by this. She done all this even though we just met. "Thank you for everything. How much did I tell you?"
"Enough to know that he put you in a lot of messed up situations". She sighs. "Anyway, there's food on the table and water so stay hydrated so you don't get a headache". She smiles brightly at me.
I sit down where a plate of food is. "Thank you luv"
"No problem. You coming back to Magic City tonight?" She asks.
"To see you? Of course" I say taking a sip of water.
"I promise I'll look better than I do right now". She chuckles.
"I think you look fine right now", I say as I take a bite of the waffles she made.
"Oh I know", she says confidently. She starts to make herself a bowl of cereal then grabs her coffee mug so she can sit at the table with me.
Wow, I give a compliment to a fan and they don't fish for more?
"Cocky little thing aren't you?"
This makes her blush. "Only sometimes, now eat".
"You know, these waffles are really good", I say as I shovel another bite in my mouth.
"Well they came from a box I shouldn't get all the credit", she says as she finishes her cereal.
I give her a puzzling look only because I was expecting a thank you of some sort. Y/n takes notice of this and I see a twinge of an 'oh no' look.
"Oh, I mean thank you"
"How do you forget to say thank you? Uh sorry that was a little blunt"
She shrugs and leans back in her seat. "It's okay, I just forget sometimes".
I feel like I just made this awkward.
"So umm what are you into?" I ask, trying to redirect the conversation.
She giggles from sensing that I tried to change the awkward topic. "Do you mean hobbies or kinks?" She smirks at me. It's a playful smirk because she knows she's messing with me.
I feel my cheeks start to hurt from blushing so much. But I decide to mess with her back. "I..erm hobbies, you'll have to surprise me with the other info next time I have you to myself". I wink at her.
Now her face is red. "Man, you got me good I wasn't expecting that", she chuckles nervously. "Umm I really like to draw, I'll have to show you them sometime".
She's so fun to mess with. I want to make her even more flustered...
No, no get the idea out of your head 2D.
"I'd love to see them".

Turns out my parents are intolerant racists. Whatever. I'm dating him anyway. I'm dating someone for his money. We just started dating, and I think she is perfect. 🩷 I'm dating a dad, but I have no interest in being involved with his kids....I just love him so much. My boyfriend and I have such casual relationship, most people don't even know we're dating. I love it. Normal relationships make me feel smothered.... I'm dating a man that's as old as my father. We just started dating, and I want to go back to being just friends. I just started dating him, and he is amazing to me. 🧡 ....but because of my past, I'm just looking for reasons to end this. I'm only dating my boyfriend for food and rides. Welcome to adulthood. I hope you like ibuprofen. I like my men the way I like my word documents...saved. Do not ever underestimate my ability to find shit out. Dear life, I have a complete grasp on the fact that you are not fair. So please stop teaching me that lesson. Raise your hand if you have a bad habit of laughing during serious moments. 🙋‍♀️ I'm the type of person that will burst out laughing in dead silence over something that happened yesterday. 😂 Me: I'm finally happy. Life: Lol, wait a sec. That awkward moment when you're doing weird stuff and then realize someone is watching you. My brother and I are always mistaken as a couple when we go out. I'm playing the game where the floor is lava, so obviously I can't get out of bed or I'll die. 🛌 I just realized that the word "short" is longer than the word "long." I miss the old you. The one that cared about me. Facebook finally gave up on me and just started showing people I definitely don't know in the "people you may know" section. I'm a simple person with a complicated mind. Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution. Sometimes what you're most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free. If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice. I wonder what the person I'll end up marrying is doing at this very moment. Watching a movie and yelling at the characters for doing something stupid. I'm shy. Until you get to know me. It's never too late for cereal or too cold for ice cream. Hearing something that absolutely kills you and having to act like you're fine. Trying not to cry, but then someone asks what's wrong and you can't stop those tears. 😭 Am I the only one that says "ow" in surprise even if what happened didn't remotely hurt me. Slow wifi is worse than no wifi at all. I'm really good at stuff until people watch me do that stuff. The last thing I do every night and the first thing I do every morning is check my phone. 📱 Why put cookie dough in the oven when you can put it in your mouth? Cell phones ruined the fun of pushing a fully clothed person into a pool. That awkward moment when you're trying to get over someone you were never dating. After an argument, I always think of awesome things I could have said. Laying in bed, remembering a conversation in your head and imagining what you should have said instead. Reading a paragraph over and over again because you couldn't concentrate on it. I wish I had a window seat with lots of pillows I could sit in and drink tea and read books and watch the rain in. That awkward moment when you are actually pulling a push door. That embarrassing moment when you realize that person wasn't waving at you. 👋 *feels cute* *takes selfie* never mind. That awkward moment when you think you can touch the bottom of the pool, then try to and almost drown in the process. I walk down the street with music in my ears and feel like I"m in a music video. Laughing at your own joke so hard that you can barely tell it. 😂 My definition of a clean room is a clear path from my door to my bed. Calculating how many hours of sleep you'll get if you go to bed "right now." 😴 That awkward moment when you don't know why you're in a bad mood but you just are. The most dangerous game to play: "Resting Your Eyes" in the morning after shutting off your alarm. I like to hang out with people who make me forget to look at my phone. I want to exercise, but I don't want people to see me. Whenever I paint my fingernails, the polish lasts for 4 days, but whenever I paint my toenails, it lasts for 6 years. I don't understand. I remember song lyrics from my favorite songs 5 years ago, but I don't remember what I learned in school yesterday. Shy people usually end up being some of the coolest people you know after you start talking to them. Without that little voice in your head, you wouldn't be able to read this. Everything is funnier when you're not allowed to laugh. 😂 Dear Microsoft Word, I'm pretty sure I spelled my name correctly.... Compliments make me uncomfortable, because I don't know how to respond. It's interesting that a person can become uglier or prettier once you talk with them, based off their personality. We've finally reached that annoying time of year where it's sweater weather in the morning, but my midday you die from a heatstroke. I lay in bed and hold my phone in the air, over my face. It's unreal the amount of times I have dropped my phone on my face. I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen. -John Steinbeck Let's face it, we live in a world where people are better at editing photos than their grammar. The fact that I'm considered an adult is both terrifying and hilarious. I either overthink what I'm about to say or don't think at all. There's no in between. It's ironic how the longer I stay at home, the more I look like a homeless person. You just realized....the word OK is a sideways person. When PMS kicks in and you start telling people how you REALLY feel. When I'm on my period, I eat ridiculous amounts of food. I don't know what I believe in anymore. The hardest part of divorce for me is not seeing my baby girl every day. I just want someone who can make me look forward to tomorrow. I have to turn myself in and sit in jail. I'm sick of having a warrant. I don't need pity. I need understanding. Chronic Pain Sleep: It's like regular sleep but without the sleep. My illness is NOT my fault. Stop acting like it is. Hands up if you didn't leave your house today because your chronic illness held you back. 🙋‍♀️ Let go of the guilt. There are things you just cannot do when you have a migraine. I'm too functional to be disabled and too disabled to be functional. I want to live, not just survive. Love your life more than you hate your pain. I grieve for the person I was. She died and was replaced with one that can barely function. Learning how to live in a broken body is a never-ending journey. Brain fog for me is feeling completely lost in a familiar place. -Cherie Rendon Chronic pain is no joke. And it's every day waking up not knowing how you're going to feel. -Lady Gaga

Sleep is fucked again. I mean it was never really back to "normal" in any sense... but it turned into 4 hours of sleep last night. I think I woke up hungry. I'm pretty sure that's been a thing for a while now. I only really do one meal a day now... you know I've been stalling on really engaging this life-planning-wise so I might as well get it over with. I get to bed around 4-6ish, but usually leaning farther towards 5-6 honestly. I get up around 1-2ish. So... 5 to 12 is 7, plus 1 is a good 8 hours. I eat a bit of food when I wake up, with my coffee or monster. Usually cereal or granola and some fruit. Then I don't eat until dinner which is usually around 8ish, but lately has been pushed back to like 10. So from 8PM until 2PM I am not eating any food. I sometimes get ice cream at around 1-2AM, so... that's some calories then... but I haven't done that much recently. So with ice cream, I go 12 hours with no food. Without ice cream, I go 18 hours straight with no food. Is that... fasting? Oh damn, okay so I'm looking that up... and it looks like 10-16 hours can trigger ketones to turn fat into energy, so... my body is tapping into reserve stores right now. That might be affecting my sleep. I mean, my body is literally consuming itself - so from my perspective I'm nourishing myself, but I'm also actually being eaten. So... maybe that sends my body into a low-level distress? Maybe it makes me irritable and jumpy? Maybe it makes me feel a bit less safe?
Well shit, another reason to get onto a human sleep schedule. Or like any schedule at all. It's really fucking hard when you don't have the luxury of someone else to shape your time off of. I've adapted my life to my cat, I'd bet. She's the only one I chill with. So we both go to sleep at the beginning of dawn. And we chill in the afternoon right before the sun goes down. Crepuscular. It just keeps naturally happening, so yeah... maybe I just get used to it until I have more people in my life?
That's a can of worms. A big one. I can't get people to do fuckin anything nowadays. I used to. I would just send texts to people, and they would send texts to me. "Yo, what you up to today?" "You up?" "Wanna chill when I get off of work?" I haven't had that since my breakup... Well, I had a little break when I went to treatment facilities to get off of prescription meds, but that was with much younger people that struggled to relate to me. That's going on 5 years that I haven't had people texting me outside of... well now my Mom. Bless her heart. It's a big weight to put on someone, for them to carry your social life. I just don't know how to meet people. I mean... I don't remember. I'm out of practice? It scares me? There's a brick wall there every time. Maybe I'm traumatized around it? Hmm... Maybe... I have PTSD about putting myself out there in social public places and having it go nightmarishly? Maybe those memories are real, they did happen. So... But every time I go do things it goes fine. Like, it's not wildly successful or super memorable most of the time, but it does go well. But those super rare times when it doesn't go well? ... For me, it feels like it tends to go catastrophically. Like first day back from detoxing off meds, first trip to the grocery store (which I used to have an intense phobia about going to alone) and I run into my fucking ex. Like that. Like nightmarishly bad rolls. Natural 1 Luck rolls.
So maybe I just could really fucking use a friend to help me ease into normal social situations. Maybe it's literally the only thing I've been asking for. And everyone's too busy. The therapists "can't get that personal", and make me feel weird for asking. My former friends would claim work, friends, family, anything to open up some escape options. It's like how they all made up excuses for not coming to my livestreams or watching my videos. Just steaming hot fresh bullshit all around. "Hey, you wanna go skate around the sidewalks at this old abandoned college that no one uses?" "Oh, I don't know, there might be cops patrolling the place." "Dude, we're just like riding around on the sidewalks, I don't think we're even really going to be doing a lot of tricks." Like... I have to be the jerk, right? Like I'm the unreasonable one in that situation to be suggesting something that you could literally take your kid to and it would be totally fine, the cops would totally understand and she would probably have fun too. Nope. What I get is immediate suspicion, disinterest - a natural negative, rejective response - and then improvising a narrative to let me down gentle. I see this response more often than I don't, by a wide margin. I'm realizing it's probably smart for me to just lean into the confident realist angle there, even though people do perceive it as confrontational. "It's not a big deal, it's normal shit, it's only like an hour, just try." OR, and this is the tough one for me... I need to just move past those people and pretend they're not there, imagine I don't have social contacts at all, and keep trying to make new connections.
New connections just scare me now. Which is weird to say publicly because any new viewer looking at this (4th wall break, hi) would technically be a new connection. So, maybe this is kinda like... passively trawling for kindred souls, I guess. Because this is like... literally a transcript of my brain, so if it sounds familiar, or is something you want to interact with, feel free to say hi, if it's not weird to do so. Because this right here is the most public thing I've currently got.
Oh shit, on that note, SketchDaily is going sick and I'm actually posting on social media basically every day with this sketch thing, so I'm starting to grow an imprint. It just... I think reconnecting with my brother shocked the system a bit. Maybe reopened some past feelings and memories that I'm still processing. So I've been staying away from streaming again. Why? Well... because... I don't want to stream alone. I want to stream to an audience of friends. And I can't guarantee that right now. So I've just been "testing" different Rimworld scenarios and Minecraft modpacks. It feels like wasting time. I want to take more chances. I need to take more chances.
So earlier today I had a realization. It was after waking up starving, eating two yogurt cups, smoking a bowl and laying in bed. I started to write... lyrics? Poetry? Something. With accompanying drawings. It was... I think one of the realest things I've written. I actually really want to share this, so I'm gonna apply myself fully here.
I was listening to Devin Townsend's Snuggle album, which is really calm and feel-good and new age-y. Really sick album, great for setting a nice calm fluffy warm mood. I thought of how Devin is like... no fucking wonder he's legendary. Like this guy can get up in front of 10s of thousands of people. Live. They're all there in person in front of him, not just a number on a livestream. And he makes a fucking fart joke. And it goes well! THAT is confidence. But, at the same time, he is... humble. He's reserved. He's well-spoken and articulate, he means the words he speaks very deliberately. He's one of my mentors, I admire him as a human more than most people I've ever encountered. I'm sure he has his flaws, this is far from idolatry. But the combination of confidence and humility in this man is the exact blend that I'm trying to cultivate. It's deeply inspiring.
I realized that confidence was the thing that has been toggling for... i keep writing year numbers and deleting them... probably my whole life honestly, but especially since I failed out of college. I miss my confidence so dearly when it's gone. But something very interesting happened to me after a very long down-swing. I think people got used to me being down there. I think people got used to me not having confidence. And forgot the confident me even existed. Forgot that I used to be a TV anchor. That I used to do skits with my friends jumping off roofs and lighting toy cars on fire and racing them, stupid teenage boy Jackass shit. That I used to be a radio DJ. That I used to have the nickname "High <insert name here because at least a thin veil of anonymity keeps me comfy>", because whenever people in that social group greeted me with "hi" I would say, "yep!" Because I was high, pretty much all the time back then, despite having to do burn turns and hide in the woods like criminals or some shit. They forget I flew to Vegas for the first time alone, without even having a hotel room to stay at. Which was admittedly a bit dumb, but I knew two people from social media who were gonna be there, so I felt safe enough, and ended up staying with the girl that ended up becoming my girlfriend and she introduced me to a lot of cool shit when I was there, like In-N-Out and Johnny Rockets.
I wrote:
When my confidence was broken
I seemed most familiar
When my confidence came back
you went "who the fuck is that?"
"you've changed"
Yes, I have.
Look at how beautiful I've become!
So maybe what I'm seeing around me. This saturation of skepticism and playing it safe that I'm seeing everywhere. Maybe it's because of a lack of trust. And maybe the lack of trust is from distance. Not knowing the person you're talking to. If it's because of never getting to know them, the solution right there is... talk to them. If it's because they've wronged you before and you think they'll do it again? I'd say you have two choices there - talk to them, or walk away. So at the end of that chain, what's needed to address the trust issue is... confidence. Faith, I guess. I keep holding back on that word, but trust and confidence definitely fit the faith bill. I hope to be a man of.... I have no idea why I worded that that way. I try my best every day to be a man of faith. I practice it regularly, in my own ways. But I lack it in the places where it counts for me, my weakest parts, my interpersonal skills. I get nervous to make appointments unless I have all my faculties about me. I need to have a friend go with me to the skatepark. Shit like that. It's a weird byproduct of loneliness, it's frustrating how hard it is to articulate - like I always thought the shame was the big part that was making it difficult for me to communicate why this is a recurring difficulty for me, but I think it goes further than that, I think I struggle to convey it in a relatable way. I've written about it here before. It's just... so much more convincing and limiting in my head.
So I look at "go to the skatepark" and I immediately think "who can I get to go with me". This comes from a library of memories literally walking miles on foot to get to the skatepark every day, skating alone most of the time. I would love nothing more than to have someone I know just go with me, to share that moment and make the transition into a habit a bit easier. Someone I know to share that moment with. I get turned down, and told to just go myself and I'll meet people there. And my heart sinks. Rejection. But I don't let it bring me down, I keep trying. "well you don't even have to try skating, you can just watch." Rejected. Negotiated down. "well I mean, you can just chill with my dog while I go?" That one made me sad. But I keep trying. "Hey, you can just like bring a laptop and do your work there, you know." At that point it's basically begging. So, out of escape options, they go "okay, we can do that, let's talk about it tomorrow" and then tomorrow never comes. And it gets programmed into my head that what I did there was the problem. That I was being pushy and needy, aggressive and peer-pressure-y.
I've been living in this cycle for literally like 6 or 7 years. Since like 2015-16? I think it programmed me. I think at a certain level I expect all people to be like that. And the prospect of dealing with new people just makes my brain kinda shoot sparks and smoke comes out my ears. And the only thought I have is "who can I get to go with me". Who is my +1. So that if things get quiet or awkward or boring or I need an out or something, they're right there.
Once I have that piece in my life, and I can get sustainable momentum in building this new life I'm getting started on... I can't even picture it! But I know it's going to be... I don't even have a word... life-changing. I will find the new me I really need to be, he will be free to practice his weaknesses and grow, mature. The parts of me that have been traumatized and atrophying - my social practice - will be given a proper ecosystem to thrive. Things will start to blossom in ways I've always dreamed of. So, whenever anyone wants to like... step up to the plate and help with that? So that burden doesn't fall onto the insanely strong shoulders of one person? It'd be well appreciated. I'd be glad to reciprocate.
I need to sleep! Have a wonderful day/night. I hope the Fall is as surreally transformative for you all as it is for me. May we all resolve this dissonance in beautiful harmony.

Okay I’m gonna stray from my usual and go with:
Bobby + “I burnt dinner”
Thanks 💕
❤️❤️❤️
He's afraid, for a second, that Eddie isn't going to pick up the phone.
Which would certainly be his right. Bobby's not his captain anymore.
"--'lo?" Distracted, sounds like. Stressed, for sure.
He takes a breath and makes sure his own shoulders are lowered. His voice calm. "Hey, Eddie, just wanted to call and see how your first day went."
"Yeah. Fine. Lots to learn."
Bobby waits him out.
Eddie's good at silence, though, and Bobby's already saying "So--" when Eddie finally says, "I burned dinner."
Bobby blinks. Part of the whole appeal of the new position was that it was normal workdays; no more 24-hour shifts. "You..."
"First day, got home, burned the fuck out of dinner. The smoke detector just stopped going off, finally. Chris is out in the backyard. I'm trying to scrape this-- shit--" a grunt of effort with every word-- "off of the pan, but I might as well just toss the whole thing." The clatter of the pan being thrown back down on the stove, or counter, or possibly into the sink. "Fuck." Pulling himself back together. "I'm really sorry, Bobby, that's not why you called."
Raised eyebrows. "It's not?"
Eddie doesn't say anything to that.
"Okay, first thing, nothing's currently on fire." He doesn't phrase it as a question, because it's not. Eddie knows what he's doing here.
Eddie sighs. "No. Nothing is currently on fire."
"Okay. I have no idea if the pan is salvageable or not, but I do know that you have to soak it before you scrape it. Soap and water." He waits, and there's the sound of running water, and then Eddie says, "Yeah."
"And you have other food in the house?"
"Not really!" Frustration boiling over again. "I was supposed to get groceries yesterday, but then Chris had this project for school, and I was trying to get ready for my first day, and we had just enough stuff in the fridge to make this one dinner but now--" He breaks off, breath uneven.
"Remember that delivery is always a thing; hell, the McDonald's drive-through is a thing. But if you don't want to leave your house, there's always cereal? Eggs? PB&J?"
A controlled exhale on the line. Bobby's pretty sure Eddie's counting out his breaths, the way he's seen him do for Buck sometimes. "We've got cereal, but no milk. Peanut butter and jelly, but no bread."
"Now we're onto something. Do you have crackers? Tortillas?"
"Yeah. We've got some slightly-stale tortillas in the fridge."
"Tortilla, peanut butter and jelly, roll it up, cut it into little spiral slices if you want. And then once you and Chris have both had some food, you can work on putting in a grocery order. Only has to be for a couple of days, don't stress about trying to meal-plan an entire week."
"Yeah." Bobby can picture him scrubbing at his eyes. "Sorry. This is all such basic shit. I should be able to figure it out on my own."
Bobby gives him a second, and then gently asks, "Is that the answer to how today went?"
The silence is answer enough.
"I have no fucking clue what I'm doing, Bobby. No fucking clue."
"That's normal."
So tight he might break: "Not for me."
Bobby takes a slow breath in, then out, listening for Eddie to echo him on the other end of the line. When he has some evidence that Eddie's breathing again, he says, "Give yourself some time."
"How much time?"
"More than a day?"
Something like laugh, even if it is a little choked. "Yeah, okay. Point taken." A deep breath. "Okay, I'd better make some PB&J things."
"Roll-ups. You've got this," Bobby tells him. "And remember, we've got your back."
This quiet sort of disbelieving sound that Bobby is just about positive has to do with Buck, but that's not something that it makes any sense to get into while Eddie's got a hungry kid and a kitchen that still smells like smoke.
"I've got your back," he says instead, in a if you believe nothing else, believe that kind of tone.
"Yeah," Eddie says, and it sounds like he's willing to at least come that far. "Thank you, Bobby. Seriously."
"Any time. Seriously."
Fifteen minutes later, his phone pings with an incoming photo: The Diaz boys on their back porch, Eddie's arm around Chris, who's holding a PB&J roll-up in one hand and giving a thumbs-up with the other, face scrunched up in a dazzling smile. The caption says, They're a hit!
Bobby smiles, and goes back to work.
(Send me a little something and I’ll write a little something!) (Yes, prompts for this are still open; I like this format a lot!)

I keep watching tiktok compilations despite not actually being on tiktok. Just kill me. Anyway, I saw that trending prank where you don't say "I love you" back to your SO and it was funny and I was inspired.
*
It had been an unspoken, mutual decision. They said "I love you" every day, multiple times a day. Harry brought Draco tea in bed? I love you. Draco helped Harry find his glasses? I love you. A hasty owl sent informing the other about being late? Sorry, I love you. One is going out without the other? I love you. Making up after a fight? I love you but don't fucking touch me yet.
There was no fanfare or sap involved. Three words said out loud in a normal tone, almost thoughtlessly. An instinct, really. There was only one silent rule: you have to say it back.
So when Draco heard of this new trend or prank or whatever it was, it gave him the giggles. Harry was very particular about their rule. He'd grunt it back to Draco even while half asleep; even when he was furious.
Draco said he was too tired to go to the store with Harry. They usually went together because they were both pants at making lists and even worse at remembering to get everything they need without the other there to remind him. But Draco had Plans and so he said he slept like shit and wanted a nap.
Harry didn't protest. He wasn't fussy. He never complained about things. He'd probably forget the eggs but then he'd just as willingly make another trip later.
Draco set up the camera - a little clumsily but he did it all by himself and thought he deserved some credit - lay down on the sofa with the cat on his chest, and watched as Harry put on his jacket and checked his pockets for his wallet.
"Do we need cereal?" Harry asked, slightly distracted as he pulled an old, misshapen condom out of his wallet. "Definitely need new condoms," he added.
"Cornflakes," Draco said. "We have Rice Krispies."
"'kay."
"And get a couple extra frozen pizzas."
"Fine."
"Three cheese."
"Yes."
"No mushroom."
"I know." Harry finished lacing up his trainers and looked around, straightening his glasses. "Right. Be back in a bit."
"'kay."
Draco held his breath as Harry disappeared down the hallway, the chain rattling at the front door as he undid it.
"I love you."
Draco did a little dance that made the cat raise his head and glare grumpily.
"Bye," he replied.
There was a beat of silence.
Then, "I love you." It sounded very pointed and Draco was already laughing soundlessly.
"Bye," he repeated.
Harry's footsteps were loud as he marched back to the living room. He appeared at the end of the hallway, frowning at Draco (who was having an outrageously hard time hiding his laughter).
"I said, 'I love you'," Harry said, eyebrows raised, nostrils flared. It was honestly so easy to get under his skin and Draco loved it beyond words.
"Okay," he drawled. He followed that up with a fake yawn.
Harry's eyes bulged a bit, glasses slipping down a bit as he stepped forward, fists clenched.
"What? Are you pissed off?"
Draco hitched on a wide-eyed look of astonishment. "No."
"Then why won't you say it?"
"Say what?"
Harry's jaw clenched. "Are you fucking deaf?"
"No?"
"Okay, good. So, say it back."
Draco waited until Harry's ears began to turn red like Weasley's.
"Ya, love you," he said carelessly, scratching Wilbur's head.
"That's bett-- No, wait, you know what," Harry shoved up his glasses, and held up a hand, "that was a wee bit forced. Let's try it again, shall we?" He was apoplectic and Draco couldn't help it; he began bouncing again as the laughter set in. "I am going to the store," Harry said loudly and slowly, as though Draco was particularly slow and also hard of hearing. "I will be back soon."
Still bouncing with silent laughter, lips pressed together, Draco choked out, "Okay."
"I love you," Harry shouted.
"I love you, too." Draco's eyes were leaking now.
"That's better," Harry gritted, pointing an aggressive finger at him.
Then he turned and stomped off, slamming the door behind him.
Despite having nearly wet himself, Draco thought it had been worth every second.

Dream
he is a big fan of a good old netflix and chill session
something about the warm, dark living room only illuminated by the moving images on the screen, your silhouette barely visible under a blanket and whatever snack you’d found on his cupboard on your hands gets this man in a raunchy mood

Temptation
-Wednesday- 
I love him so much. God I love him. And he’ll never know. Maybe it was a curse from a past life or something. To live like this, tantalizingly close to him but unable to act. I knew he didn’t see me that way, but that didn’t help any in my situation. 
Take today for instance, he just came back from the gym today soaked in the lingering smell of sweat. It was probably residual perspiration on the clothes he was carrying back or some other thing in his bag. Still. The smell. Goddamn. I could have died and gone to heaven on the spot. I tried to sneak a whiff of Connor, but all I could pick up was whatever soap and cologne he used. It was earthy, woodsy. Like cut cedar and fresh rain. It’s the Connor I always smelled, since he did always keep himself quite clean, and it’s a wonderful scent in its own right, forming the basis of my idea of Connor and the scent I associated with him. But damn. This paled in comparison to the hints of musk and workout sweat I could glean from his clothing. He reeked of pure man and it’s such a shame he covered that up. God I hope he doesn’t do laundry anytime soon.
He must have picked up on something, cause not a moment later I got a “Oh dude! I’m so sorry, this stuff probably reeks haha. I’ll get it washed up so it doesn’t stink up the place” he laughed politely. Fuck.
“Sure, you do you” I stated back, mentally cursing at his propensity for cleanliness.
You’d think the ROTC guys wouldn’t give two fucks about their smell but I guess Connor was an exception. Then again I don’t really know what they did, so maybe it was normal for them. In any case, he definitely did laundry tonight, and I definitely lost out on a good jack off.
Tumblr media
-Friday-
So, weird thing happened last night. Connor looked tired as fuck, but he went out. The man must have been running on sheer willpower alone cause he had some kind of training day earlier today too. He collapsed in his room at like 8. Yet there he was an hour later- eyes bloodshot, hair tousled. Maybe he wanted to let loose or something? Still pretty weird. I mean, the guy was practically a saint. It’s odd enough that he went out for drinks, but even odder that he went out dressed like he did. Still I could definitely get used to a more experimental Connor. 
He was also a little looser when he came back. Gave me a pat on the shoulder and a wink. Something about “keeping the room safe” or something. I couldn’t concentrate enough to tell what he was actually rambling about. His breath was drenched in alcohol. I feel like I almost got drunk off the fumes alone when he spoke. No surprise when he had no recollection of any of it after he woke up from his nap. 
Total guilty pleasure, but the messy look was kind of hot on him. Never seen my friend so disheveled like this, he was always so prim and proper. It’s kind of nice to see him knocked down a few pegs. 
-Tuesday-
Connor let out a cute yawn before scratching his pits. He gave his scratching hand a quick sniff before settling into a satisfied smile. My dick jumped a little. I feigned ignorance when he regarded me, asking me if I saw that. “I… uh…no. Definitely not.” 
“Sure dude.” Now fully aware of my stare, Connor continued scratching at himself. “You’re seeing this now though, right?” He ran a hand over his stomach, gently feeling through his defined abs. I kept replaying the event in my head, drooling the delight I just witnessed and at a little daydream of me coming up to to feel this new side of Connor with him. In my daze, I barely noticed my roommate inching closer.
Tumblr media
Plus, did he seem… bigger? Though I can’t say I’ve ever seen the guy without a shirt on so I guess I just never noticed. Regardless, this version of Connor was fucking hot. Looks like he’s got a tat too. Hot. 
“Baby if you’re gonna keep looking, you might as well have a taste.” He laughed warmly. I couldn’t believe what I just heard. In my stunned state, I couldn’t do anything beyond stare at him in disbelief as a vascular hand that seemed larger than it should be guided mine around his perky ass. God what a nice ass. I still recoiled out of the sheer absurdity in the situation. Try as I might, I couldn’t wrap my brain around the idea of this Connor. It’s like he was two different people. Well, I definitely liked this version of my friend more. I’m still drooling over what just happened.
“Another time, then,” he chuckled before walking to his room. 
Weird. Connor never really shut his door other than to sleep. Guess he was tired or something. 
-Thursday-
Well shit, I totally misread all of that. Today, I thought I saw that same glint of intrigue in his eyes and decided to risk it. Conner was just sitting in his boxers eating cereal and I was just standing there, a few feet behind. I couldn’t help it. My hand instinctively reached out and the cupped the outline of his ass. Perky. It was cute and compact and plump but definitely had a bit of muscle behind it. I regretted the action immediately. 
“…The fuck dude?” He gently whispered. It was more bewilderment than anything. Fuck. He was incredulous and I couldn’t blame him. Anger raged inside him, I could tell. But neither of us knew what to do in the situation. We stood there, staring at each other for what felt like hours before I relented.
In shame I could barely stammer out a shameful “s-sorry” before I slunk back to my room, bright red. 
I fucked up.
-Monday-
Okay. Scratch everything I just said. Connor is fucking with me. He’s got to be. He strode around the apartment half naked, humming a quiet tune to himself. Sure. Fine, I guess. Whatever. But as soon as he noticed me on the couch working on an essay, he walked over and gave me a hug from behind. Oh my god that hug. Connor was a lean dude, but I swear his muscles were fucking bulging, like they were barely contained in his skin. He wrapped those thick pythons over my shoulders and chest and I just about melted on the spot. I’m pretty sure I moaned a little too. Who wouldn’t? Wrapped in his warm embrace, surrounded by this man- I was his for that moment. I tensed up on the spot. I knew he didn’t swing that way, so I don’t know what he was trying but there was no way I would fall for what I could only assume was some kind of trap. 
He spoke in a tone laced in sex. It set me off in a way I didn’t expect. This was a side of Connor I’ve never seen, a tone of Connor I’ve never heard- an experience of Connor I’ve never had. It was a Connor I never knew I needed.
“I’ve seen the way you look at this body. You’re not very subtle.” In the faintest of whispers, he leaned in until his lips were barely touching my ear. My dick was already rock hard in anticipation- I was practically bursting at the seams and I’m sure he had a great view of it. “Just say the word and ‘Connor’ is yours”. 
Tumblr media
With a control and a willpower I never had before, I refrained from kissing this boy- from putting myself all over him on the spot. I mentally cursed at my friend. ‘What the fuck are you playing at Connor?’ 
His hot, damp breath caressed my ear in its own embrace as I stood my ground, unmoving like stone. “Got to hand it to you, bro, you put up a really good fight. It’s okay. I love a good fight. Makes victory taste all the more sweeter.” The feel of Connor’s thick, defined fingers running through my hair and wet, slimy tongue across my cheek. He rolled his body forward, so the pulse through his abs would be felt across the back of my neck. From this spot, he was downright imposing. His guns went in for another caress- this time wrapping across my cheeks and around my chin.
“You know I love you bro… This body’s straight as an arrow. But it’s my body- I’ll go gay for you if you want”. What the fuck. Oh god I got a bit of his sweat on my cheek too. My eyes fluttered, body entrapped in a spell of my own hormones reacting to my friend’s advances.
Connor broke me. I shivered on the spot, leaned up to the man, moaned an “Oh fuck…Connor I-I need you. I-” before he cut me off. “Well bro, kind of looks like you still got some work today- you have fun with that.” He laughed coldly. He was fucking with me.
That whole exchange was really fucking weird, cause just a few hours later, it was back to pure awkward silence between us. Like a flip of a switch, the every energy he exuded around me could only be described as “uncomfortable”. I wanted to talk to him, to speak with him about earlier, to tell him I wanted him the same way. Something about those eyes read differently though. They read the same Connor I had been used to until recently. I decided to hold my tongue. Something about this situation wasn’t adding up.
Also I’m pretty sure this kid needs to see a doctor or something. I swear the guy doesn’t sleep- he’s out every night and then I see his tired ass drag himself to class every morning. Rushing a frat? Weird drugs? Could have been a host of things. 
-Tuesday-
Now 4 days since the incident last week. Thankfully he hasn’t brought it up- nor has he brought up whatever the fuck yesterday was. If it was even real. I sweat and stumble over my sentences in every conversation I make with him. I flash back to what he said to me. God, this was all too much. Every time I try to focus myself, focus on whatever he was talking to me about, I couldn’t help but think of the Connor that visited me yesterday night. 
Maybe, maybe it was just a hallucination. Maybe I dreamed it all up. I was working on an essay for hours. The whole encounter could have easily been a dream. He’s been going out every night too, so it’s not like he could have been speaking to me that coherently. Still. That didn’t make it any better. Whether or not he knew it, Connor was a demon in my life. 
I shamefully admit I totally jacked off to that little exchange from yesterday after he left. Grabbed some used Connor-scented garments off his hamper and exploded all over myself in a Connor-themed session. Nothing like the exquisite gym-soaked clothes from a week ago, but it was enough. It was still Connor. My eyes rolled up to the back of my head in pleasure as I took a breath, basking in the afterglow and the scent of forest and earth and faintest lingering musk of Connor in my nose. Connor was everything to me and, hallucination or not, I committed yesterday’s events to memory. 
-Still Tuesday-
Shitshitshit. Definitely not a dream. I caught the son of a bitch. In the dead of night, I caught him sneaking in from a dark corner of the room. Like a figure manifest from the shadows itself. He was holding some silver figurine in his hand, reciting some odd words, before he lunged at the sleeping Connor. He gave my roommate a quick sniff before scoffing. “Bro you have to stop cleaning all your nice smells away… With that the stranger pulled at the corners of Connor’s mouth. I watched as my roommate’s skin was forced to accommodate the man’s muscular calves.

I watched as the stranger pulled Connor every further up himself. Damn, even in the dark I could tell the man was ripped. When his head finally slotted into where Connor’s skull would be, and Connor’s face was stretched being pulled, I saw the immediate change in my friend’s demeanor. This was the guy who’s been fucking with me recently. This was why Connor looked so buff lately. I couldn’t see the man who jumped inside my best friend, but I could never wipe that smug smile he wore through Connor’s face. 
The smell that originated from inside Connor, the same smell I experienced a week ago. God I loved that scent. It permeated throughout the room. Best friend concentrate. Like a humid, musky, grime that clung to the very air and decorated my nostrils. I never wanted his scent out of me again. I felt like I was inhaling Connor himself, regarding a newly discovered private part of my friend.
My stomach churned in a mix of anticipation and horror. Sweat beaded at my temples. Gotta admit, this was kind of hot. I had to figure out what I was gonna do about this. Self-preservation kicked in and I fled to my room, taking special attention to ensure I did not alert the man inside Connor. Not like he’d notice anyways- dude was feeling himself up almost immediately after he slipped inside.

-Wednesday-
It’s like clockwork at this point. The “other” Connor came back early in the morning from a wild night out, before passing out on our couch as I was finally able to speak with my friend. Impossibly tired eyes looked back at me. He gave a weak grimace. “Must have passed out again….Uh.. can I help you man?” My heart sank. Could I really tell him this? My poor roommate. “No, uh.. do you want any breakfast?”.
I could tell he had meant to say yes. He motioned as much, before staring at my face and turning away. Fuck. He was definitely still put off by last week’s advance. I honestly don’t blame him. “N-no. I got it. Thanks.” 
I grimaced awkwardly before shrugging and walking to fix myself some breakfast. This would complicate things. And I couldn’t do that to Connor. I needed to find a way to fix this without him knowing. Evidently, his body being used and worn out like an evening jacket was taking its toll on him. Despite whatever we were going through, he was still my friend. And I couldn’t in good faith add more to that burden. 
“Hey, one of the guys from the gym’s coming over for dinner, that cool?” 
“Yeah man, I’ll just order some extra pizza,” I said back, sighing internally in relief at some semblance of normalcy.
-Still Wednesday -
I met Connor’s gym friend. To be honest, already forgot his name. He gave me a wink when he shook my hand and I couldn’t stop staring all dinner. I think even Connor picked up on it. He looked almost jealous with all the attention I usually gave him being directed at the stranger. The stranger asked to use the bathroom, and I wanted to let him know how to get to it, but he seemed to already know the path.
“Hey bro, is it cool if I stay the night?“ I nodded automatically, lost in deep thought.
There’s something peculiar about the Connor’s gym friend. And I didn’t notice it until I was already in bed. Then hit me like a brick. 
That fucking smirk.

-End-
If anyone knows who this guy is, please let me know… for.. uh.. research purposes.
