Hi! I was really wondering if you could do some platonic nico and child of hades! Reader where nico introduces will to reader and reader goes protective mode. Thanks! :)))
Child of Hades Reader
Nico Di Angelo
-It was finally time, you had stepped away from camp just to get a break but once you heard Nico’s news you had to come back. That’s right, the day you dreaded the most. Your brother has a boyfriend.
-Now there’s nothing wrong with Nico dating, but you just can’t help but worry if he gets his heart broken! What if he was dating some player! You make your way into camp with a heavy sigh. You were getting ahead of yourself, you should at least give the poor guy a chance…
-”You’re late.” Nico complains to you, arms crossed but he had a soft smile on his face anyway. You huff fondly at that and go over ruffling his hair. “I’m not that late…” you complain but look around. “So where’s your boyfriend?”
-”he had to head to work.” Nico explains but works on leading you over to the infirmary. A doctor huh? Well… You couldn’t find much to complain about that occupation… You follow Nico in and instantly see who he was talking about.
-A blonde boy who looked like a ray of sunshine smiles brightly when he sees Nico. He honestly seemed like an excited golden retriever which makes you huff a little laugh at that, which Nico elbows you for. “This is Will, my boyfriend.” Nico says. You shake his hand and hum softly in thought as you study him.
-”If you break my brother's heart I’ll make you wish you ended up in Tartarus.” you warn deadpan with a smile. Nico sighs heavily at that and rubs his forehead in embarrassment. “Well good thing I don’t plan on doing that.” Will says with a little laugh used to the edgeyness from Nico. Maybe he wasn’t so bad…

Just a quick one— inspired by Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘It’s a bad idea, right?’ Single 🤍
___________
“Hey” you answer your phone, not even reading the caller ID beforehand and are slightly slurring your words.
“Y/N?” You’re shocked at the voice and have to check the Caller ID, which confirms that it is indeed Kit Connor aka your ex boyfriend.
You guys had decided to end things because he was always off filming, and it felt like he didn’t have time for you anymore, especially because he had become such a desired actor and it made you uncomfortable with all of the girls that were interested in him, you were scared of getting hurt.
“Kit?” You asked, confused as to why he was calling you, the music loud and you are unsure that he can even hear you.
“Where are you? It’s loud.” He laughs and you can tell that he’s smiling his golden retriever smile from ear to ear. “I miss you, I just got home” he lulls into your ear with his British accent your heart skipping another beat.
He has this effect on you where no matter what he’s done, he can always pull you back in. “I haven’t heard from you in a couple of months… but I’m out right now, and I’m all fucked up.” You admit to him.
“Who is it?” Your best friend asks, trying to listen into the phone call.
“I’ll send you my address, I’m all alone.” He says into the phone, as if he can’t hear you. His voice definitely has some undertone and you know exactly what he wants.
“I’m not com—“ but before you can finish your sentence he sends you his address and hangs up. You can’t help being excited that he’s home and wants to see you. Your best friends voice breaks you out of it.
“Babe, he really broke your heart last time.” Your best friend says, reading the message with you. But your brain is in ‘la, la’ mode as you think to yourself ‘Seein’ you tonight, is a bad idea right?’ But you give yourself too many excuses ‘he’s my ex but two people can reconnect…’
“We’re just friends…” You switch your phone off and look at your friends. “Another shot? And I’m going to go home.” You tell them and your best friend looks right through you but knows she can’t do anything so she just follows you to the bar and you take another shot of tequila and chase it down with salt and lemon.
“Bye, babes.” You tell her and you stumble through the exit and holler a taxi, feeling the cold night air on your skin, inevitably giving them the address Kit had just sent you.
‘On my way’ you reply to him before clicking on his account and scrolling through the photos of him, you’re sure you’ve seen much hotter men but you can’t really remember when.
The taxi eventually pulls up to his place and you got up to the second floor, opening the door and seeing him standing there with that smile that always pulls you in. “Hi” he says, making you gulp “Hi-“ you say back before his lips are against yours and his closing the door behind you.
You both stumble your way to his bed, kissing passionately on your way there and he’s so hot that your brain goes “Ah” and you cannot hear your thoughts.
“I only see you as a friend” you say, knowing it’s the biggest lie you’ve ever said.
“Keep telling yourself that, darling.” He mumbles into your ear before kissing your neck and stripping you of your clothes.

I both wish to yell about the stuff I am working on and keep it special secret for maximum spicy. The dilemma is real. Do I yell? A little? As a treat?
Think I shall. Under the cover of a read more!
Send good vibes and love to Riag, he’s going tf through it in AoTH at least for the upcoming chapter that I’m working on. Opening the bottle of fermented emotions is rough and is gonna take time. This is just like - cracking the lid and going WOW THERE’S A LOT MORE IN HERE THAN I EXPECTED HUH YIKES. He’s gotten too good at bottling things up, it’s become his default.
Also those of us who like Sigilis - y’all probably about to like her a lot more. She’s not all rough, cursing, and bar fights. The gal has got a soft spot and more empathy than she lets on for certain things. She’s still got grizzle and rough spots though, too.

if I can never give you peace — zero || Jungkook
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jungkook x Reader
Summary: It starts like quite a few stories do, in your world. Girl meets boy, who happens to be a hybrid, girl buys him at an auction where hybrids are sold, boy falls in love with her, girl gets bored of him. Then it’s not so typical anymore, when the boy ends up forced into illegal fighting rings, until he makes a wrong move and the girl’s father decides he needs to be killed.
Where does that leave you? Well, you’re the one who handled Jungkook’s fight and generally organized his life, and, when the girl’s father, your boss and mafia leader, tells you he wants him ‘put down’, you’re the one who has to get it done. Except, instead, you let him escape, and everything turns out fine.
Until he comes back.
Also available on Ao3.
Word count (chapter): 5.8k
Genre: Mafia AU, Hybrid AU, enemies to lovers, heavy on angst, slow burn, eventual smut
Warnings & Tags (chapter): Descriptions of Violence, Tension, Dehumanization and general poor treatment of hybrids
A/N: So I have two modes and those are tooth-rotting fluff and angst feast. This is... not fluff. I hope you’ll enjoy this first installment and introduction to the series, and I will see you soon for the next one!
Next
Tumblr media
Your eyes follow Jungkook’s every step as he walks through the crowd and enters the cage that serves as a ring. He doesn’t have to look at you to know you’re watching. You’re always watching. You’re standing in your usual corner, from where you make sure everything goes smoothly. Two tall, muscular men stand on either side of you. They look like they’re your bodyguards, but really, they’re here to handle him if he tries to do something. To everyone in the room but the two of you, this looks like every other fight night since the very first time he came to the Circle.
You’re too far for him to smell you, especially over the crowd of excited, sweaty men, but if he did, he’s sure he would pick up on the bitter scent of anxiety, would hear your heart beating a little too fast. He’d say you’re lucky the guards aren’t hybrids, but he knows that’s not the case. You never count on luck. Everybody knows that. That’s what makes you so good at your job. That’s what might just save his life.
He glances at you, finds your eyes glued on him, and gives you a smirk, which reveals his abnormally pointy teeth for a rabbit hybrid. It’s been over a year since they’ve been sharpened for him, to make him look more threatening. You’re used to them, but he still sees you swallow. For the first time he wonders, vaguely, if you had any say in that. You’re the one he meets with nowadays, but you’re not his owner, after all.
Your eyes leave him to look at his opponent. The man’s taller and has broad shoulders, he seems to have some training based on his on-guard position, and he’s older than him. You couldn’t find many informations on him, but based on his attributes, he’s probably some kind of dog hybrid.
You both know he doesn’t stand a chance.
“On my left,” the announcer roars, “some fresh meat! I give you… Jin!”
There are enthusiastic shouts, and the man shoots nervous glances around him at the crowd all around him. It’s clear that he isn’t used to that type of setting, and you feel an unexpected wave a guilt in your chest. He’s going to get destroyed tonight, you’re sure of it. You’re the one who suggested that Jungkook should fight a newbie, for the show. You don’t regret your decision, but you don’t feel good about it either.
“And on my right! The man who needs no introduction, who has won thirty! Two! Fights in a row, I give you… Jungkook!”
The crowd goes hysterical, and the hybrid facing him winces again. If he thought he had chance before that, it’s clear that he doesn’t anymore. You wonder if he’d heard about Jungkook, if his owners had prepared him well enough, if whoever owned him was betting against him. You wonder if he’d just been told he would be fighting a rabbit hybrid and assumed he would be fine.
Jungkook’s long ears are flat against his head, carefully tucked under a headband, and without those, he doesn’t look like a rabbit hybrid, too tall and broad-shouldered. Then again, he had never really been your typical rabbit hybrid.
Tumblr media
Truth was, you had been relieved when you had been assigned to working for the daughter of Mr. Xanders. Your whole life, you had known you would end up here. Your dad had worked for the Family since before your birth, and though it was clear your mom disapproved, she had never held any illusion that you would escape it. If anything, you were the sacrifice, a way of making sure your siblings wouldn’t be forced to work for the most powerful crime family in town. That was, if you did good enough.
Getting assigned to the girl who was nicknamed “the Princess” was both a blessing and a curse. It meant you got to stay away from most of the illegal stuff, as the girl was notoriously sheltered from all of that by her father. However, it also meant that you had to basically babysit the spoiled seventeen years old, despite her being only a few years younger than you. You had dressed as professionally and sternly as you could, adorning yourself in a dark woman’s suit, but she hadn’t seemed impressed.
That was how you found yourself here, at an auction for rare hybrids. You thought the whole thing was grim — oh, how naive you had to be back then, to think this was bad — but you had obeyed orders without batting an eye. You had to do this right, and this was a pretty easy job, after all.
You gritted your teeth silently as various hybrids were brought on stage, exhibited and bought, one by one. The status of hybrids was a complicated subject in the country, always had been, but you had grown up in a poor area, where a lot of hybrids lived freely, and the idea of owning what you knew to be a person made you sick to your stomach. At least the Princess hadn’t said a word the whole time you’d been there, and you had hopes that you would leave without — God — buying someone.
Naive. So damn naive.
“I want this one,” the girl had announced decidedly, pointing at the stage with a movement of her chin.
Shit.
You looked at the stage. There, the auctioneer was highly praising the hybrid who had last been brought on stage. A surprisingly tall and muscular rabbit hybrid, with fluffy black hair and long ears falling on either side of his head. He was shaking slightly, sending terrified looks around him, and your heart tightened in your chest.
Naive and soft.
“Are you sure?” you asked, and the girl rolled her eyes.
“Do your job. Get him for me.”
Numbers flashed in your mind, the exact amount of money you were allowed to spend clear as day. It made you feel a little better, for a second. This was what you were good with; numbers, facts, informations. If you thought of the hybrid as just that — a number,  an element to compose with — you should be able to do what you were supposed to do. Do your damn job, and ensure your little brother never ever had to work here, because they wouldn’t be as kind to him.
You took a deep breath, and, after a few people had already considerably raised the price, you made your bid.
Tumblr media
Jungkook walks to the center of the ring, arms raised high. He’s good at giving a show, good at most things, actually. He looks good here, confident, knowing exactly what he’s worth, and he’s nothing like what he was that first day. There is absolutely no fear on his face as he fists the air and people shout for him. Instead, he seems to be positively thriving on the attention he’s getting.
He’s a favorite here, because he always gives people what they came for. He makes the fight last, makes it theatrical, with twists and impressive moves. It’s been a while since he’s struggled in a fight, really struggled, which has made it easier. You recognize you’ve played your part in that. You have your word to say when picking his opponents, and you don’t want him to— well, to die, or to be too badly injured.
You know it’s not much. You know no matter what you tell yourself, that’s not protecting him. You know you should have acted a lot earlier.
But you didn’t.
Tumblr media
They gave you Jungkook as soon as the payment was confirmed, which didn’t take long. People were fidgeting in the room, careful not to stare too long at the Princess. They knew who she was, of course. The bodyguards and your ghostly presence, one step behind her, did not do anything to soothe their nerves. No one actually knew you back then. You hadn’t earned your reputation of efficiency, no one had called you a cold-hearted bitch yet, though that would pretty much become your identifier, but you were still somewhat unnerving, with your stillness and your all black attire.
Which was why you never tried to add color to it.
The Princess seemed to be in her element, not bothered by the silence and people’s obvious fear of her, even for a second. Instead, she was watching her acquisition. The hybrid — Jungkook, you remembered, because you’d heard his name after winning the auction — was staring at the floor, stealing glances at her every once in a while, before quickly looking away again. He was clearly shy, and terrified, and it looked like the Princess liked that.
When they handed the leash to her, she was quick to clip it on his collar, and you held back your disgust. Your mind went to Mark, a kind golden retriever hybrid you had grown up with, and the idea of him being collared like that almost made you retch.
But, of course, none of that could be seen on your face. You had been told that you had the perfect poker face, unreadable at all times. In moments like this, it was a true blessing.
“Hello, Jungkook, I’m Anna, and I’m your new owner. I’m going to take good care of you.”
Then Jungkook looked up at her, briefly, and an adorable smile curved his lips.
You knew then that this could only end in pain and heartbreak.
Tumblr media
Once Jungkook is done, he turns to face Jin. The other hybrid looks like he wants to run away, but even if he tried it, he’d be pushed right back in. So he does the smart thing, and prepares himself for the fight, lifting his hands to protect himself. Jungkook does the same thing. There is a brief moment of silence, everyone bracing themselves for what is to come. Despite his earlier display, Jungkook is deathly calm now, every muscle in his body ready for action.
The second the bell rings, Jungkook is moving, so fast he’s almost blurry, and you have to avert your eyes when his fist connects with the other hybrid’s chest.
This all feels like it could have been avoided.
Tumblr media
A relationship quickly developed between the shy bunny and the Princess. You didn’t say anything about it; that wasn’t what you were here for. A baby-sitter, sure, but not a chaperone. Anyway, it seemed like Mr. Xanders wasn’t too worried about that, and his daughter was free to do whatever she wanted as long as she didn’t get pregnant. You supposed a hybrid was the perfect choice for that, with how rare it was for them to have children with a human. It could happen, of course, but it was highly unlikely without medical assistance.
Still, you weren’t sure you liked the relationship all that much. It just felt like Anna had so much power over him. He was a couple of years older than her, since selling hybrids under eighteen was technically illegal, but it was clear from the very beginning that he had been sheltered and didn’t have much experience in— well, in any areas. A sickening feeling told you that had probably been done on purpose by the people who had raised him. You were well aware of what rabbit hybrids were usually bought for.
You watched, silently, as they got close, as Anna’s hands started to easily find Jungkook’s, as Jungkook started to rest his head on her shoulder, to scent her, as he fell in love with her. Today, maybe you would have been annoyed at the sight, annoyed by his innocence, but back then, it only made you sad.
You were also there to see Anna grow bored of him. It didn’t even take her that long, no more than a couple of months.
When she insisted on going to another hybrid auction, and asked you to bid on someone else, you knew that it was over.
“Get him to fight,” Mr. Xanders told you dismissively at a meeting you had with him. “I want the money he cost me back.”
“He’s a rabbit hybrid,” you had said, frowning. “He’s not exactly the fighting type.”
“I didn’t tell you to make him win,” he scoffed. “I don’t care if you have to bet against him. Get my money back. After that, I don’t care what you do with him.”
You didn’t realize then that that was a ‘promotion’, and that this meant you would start working in illegal settings. All you knew was the painful weight in your chest at the idea of sending Jungkook to his death. You had kept away from him, not trying to create any bonds with him, but he smiled politely and kindly when he saw you.
God, he was in love with Anna. You were sure he had noticed her losing interest in him, but you also believed he held out hope. This could— This would probably be crushing for him.
So you took the matter into your own hands. You didn’t just sign him up for an upcoming fight, but you also found him a trainer, the best you could.
“Does Anna want me to learn how to fight?” he had asked you, big brown eyes looking at you, when you had told him about the training. “So I can be her bodyguard?”
“My orders don’t come from Anna,” you’d answered, trying to stay as distant as possible.
“But will she— Do you think she’ll like me again, if I learn to fight?”
No. You thought Anna had gotten everything she wanted from him.
“I don’t know,” you had answered. You couldn’t. You couldn’t do it.
The first fight had been brutal. Devastating, in fact. Jungkook had been training, and you’d been told he was good at what he was doing, but, as a newbie, he’d been sent against an expert fighter — “for the show”, you’d heard, the exact same thing you would use as well, years later —, and you were later told he was lucky he’d made it out alive.
You stayed next to him in the hospital room. As a hybrid, he healed quickly, but he still looked terrible, body marred with black and blue, lip busted, and black eyes. When he woke up, he looked around the room, every movement he made clearly painful, and you knew, at his expression, that there was only one thing he thought about in that moment.
Anna wasn’t there.
You would never forget the look he gave you then. The way he set his jaw, the way something hardened in his eyes.
“Get out,” he had said, and you were pretty sure he had meant for it to sound aggressive, but he wasn’t good at it yet, so it was more pleading.
You had gotten up, made a move to— to pat his shoulder, to do something, but you had refrained and your hand had fallen down to your side.
“I’m sorry,” you had said, and you had left him alone in there, with his broken hopes and heart.
That night was the first and last time you considered leaving your job.
But there was no quitting, where you worked.
Tumblr media
In the ring, of course, Jungkook is good. He leaves an opening for the guy to place a few punches, ones that can’t hurt him too much. The crowd is delirious, bets are being placed. There’s a rumor that Jungkook was injured at the last fight so tonight could be the night where he loses his title, couldn’t it? The first round is coming to an end, and he doesn’t seem to have done much so, surely, he’s not going to be able to end that guy by the third, like he usually does — and if he does, hey, at least they’ll have had one hell of a show.
The three rounds thing is something you asked him to do after an organizer told you people needed that to feel they had gotten their money’s worth. You had told Jungkook, and he’d growled an answer, but he had never won in less than that since. For all his obvious hatred of you, the organization, and everything that surrounded him, he didn’t actively oppose you most of the time. He had tried to run away, twice, but when those attempts had failed, he had seemed to realize that it was just easier to go with the flow.
When the second round starts, though, he goes wild. His bare feet are light on the floor,  his fists quick and precise. He doesn’t leave anything to luck either. Every punch lands exactly where he wants it to, when he wants it to. He dodges his opponent’s attacks easily, and he sees in his eyes the moment when the man realizes that he’s not winning this. He sees confidence turn into surprise, then into fear, and it only makes him want blood.
His right hook hits the man in the jaw with all the power he can put into it, and this time you don’t wince. You’ve gotten used to the violence now — it always takes you a while — and you’re mostly impressed at how good Jungkook is.
But that’s exactly why you’re in this situation, isn’t it?
Tumblr media
“We should put him down,” Mr. Xanders said, with the exact same dismissive tone he had used years ago to tell you to make Jungkook fight, and you looked at him in disbelief. Surely, surely, he didn’t mean—
“I really disapprove of that solution, dad,” Anna said, shaking her head, and you realized he did.
You had been surprised by Anna’s presence, when you had walked into the office. You hadn’t worked for her in a long time, having graduated to far worse things. You had served your purpose, you supposed, made yourself practically indispensable when it came to the organizing of the Family’s business, as you knew the workings of the Family in and out, both legal and… less legal aspects. No one had ever said anything about your siblings joining.
“He attacked someone,” her father simply shrugged.
“If I may, Mr. X, it was after a fight and the man was being really aggressive after he lost the money he’d bet against—”
“I don’t care,” he said, waving his hand like you were just an annoying fly. “He attacked a human. We can’t have our hybrids doing that, otherwise it will just be chaos. You’re smart enough to know that.”
You swallowed. Something inside you was screaming. You had long shut down any form of moral compass, but it seemed like Jungkook always awoke the last remnants of it. You were pretty sure he despised you now, and you didn’t blame him for it. But, just like what you’d thought when Anna had bought him, you couldn’t shake the feeling that this just wasn’t right.
“I understand, sir.”
“That’s a horrible thing you’re doing, dad,” Anna insisted. “I thought you’d try to at least reason with him, (Y/N).”
That wasn’t your job. You knew when your opinion was asked on those things, and now was not one of those times. You also knew that you hated that she called you by your first name, like the two of you were friends, and you didn’t say anything about that either.
“I’m sorry, honey,” Mr. Xanders said warmly, like he had just refused to buy her an expensive toy, and not condemned a man to death. “I’ll make it up to you, okay?”
Anna sighed and rolled her eyes, and you assumed she’d probably stay mad at him for a while. But not too long.
Your heart was beating so loud in your chest you barely heard Mr. Xanders dismissing you, and you were relieved to be left alone when you walked out. There was only one thing you wanted to be thinking about now.
How were you going to save Jungkook’s life?
Tumblr media
Jin hits the floor and doesn’t get up. It’s not an actual knock-out, because he’s still moving around, but Jungkook doubts he’ll even try to get back on his feet. The guy seems to be smart, he probably realizes that that would be suicide. Another minute with him on the ring? Nah. That would be a really, really stupid thing to do. Jungkook’s knuckles are bleeding — he doesn’t think they’ve been intact once in the four years he’s been fighting — and he’s pretty much unstoppable, right now.
He lets the referee grab his arm and lift it in the air as the crowd screams. They’re particularly loud tonight, because he won in two rounds. It’s not really a surprise when they force the entrance of the cage, flooding it, and Jungkook looks for you, almost instinctively. When he finds you, your eyes are on your phone. You look like you couldn’t care less about what’s happening around you, and he knows you do genuinely dislike the fights. You’ve never made it a secret. You’ve never taken care of the other hybrids owned by the family who participate, either. He doesn’t know if he’s your burden, or if you’re the one who chooses to still do that. Before, he wouldn’t have doubted it. Now… He’s not so sure.
Your eyes flicker up to his for a second, and you nod, imperceptibly. Your heart is probably beating as loud as his right now, though for different reasons.
Jungkook examines you, takes in how out of place you are in that environment, immaculately dressed, small glasses on your nose, hair pulled back, and lets himself be amused by it, one last time.
And then he’s gone.
Tumblr media
You only visited Jungkook when there was about to be a fight, and it was clear he really didn’t like it when you showed up. You always seemed to be interrupting him, whether it was a training session or a work-out. You didn’t think you’d ever seen him do something other than those two things. You didn’t know if he had anything else.
You brought some food from a restaurant he liked, as you usually did, and got some things for the guards who would be around. That wasn’t as usual, but you had done it before, so hopefully it wouldn’t make anyone suspicious and it would allow you to have some privacy with Jungkook.
He sat down opposite from you, immediately diving into the food you’d brought, and you watched silently. His shoulders were tense, never completely down but, though he would hate to admit it, he was more relaxed around you than around anyone else. It said a lot about his life, about how desperate he was for any form of companionship, that the way you told him about his opponents almost made him feel like you cared about him. It said a lot that your presence comforted him, and it was pretty pathetic, if you asked him.
“So, who am I fighting?” he asked while eating. He never bothered with his manners when he was around you.
“A newbie,” you said. “Some fighting training from what I’ve gathered, but he shouldn’t be an issue.”
He growled. The sound was unnatural for a rabbit hybrid, but he had mastered it over the years. It was a good way of intimidating people.
“Really? I thought I told you I wanted a challenge.”
You didn’t reply immediately, and that made him look up at you. When he did, you were chewing on the inside of your cheek, hesitant. That was completely out of character. Then, you made up your mind, and your expression turned back to the unreadable one he was so familiar with.
“Keep eating, and don’t raise your voice” you ordered.
He lifted an eyebrow. Normally, he would have done something like folding his arms and waited for more, in a defiant attitude, but this was you. You would never do something like that just to assert your power over him. He hated your guts, but that was one thing he could say about you.
“Mr. X is going to have you killed because you attacked that man at your last fight.”
There. Direct, to the point, not a useless word — though you couldn’t bring yourself to use the words “put you down”. Jungkook froze for a half a second, than resumed his eating, albeit slower than before.
“It was all good as long as long as I brought him money, but he doesn’t want any trouble for it, huh?”
His voice was bitter and low, barely more than a rumble. You were confident no one was paying attention to you, since the guards ate in another part of the house and no one cared about what you were saying. They could see you through the picture window, but they couldn’t read lips. Still, you lowered your voice as well.
“Win your next fight in two rounds,” you said, instead of answering him.
He shot you a dirty glance.
“Do you really think that’s what I—”
“That should get the crowd to lose their mind,” you continued. You had gone through all the possibilities in your mind, over and over again. This was the one that was the safest for you and your family, while giving Jungkook a reasonable chance of survival. “When that happens, you’ll use the hysteria to leave through your opponent’s entrance.”
This got his attention, and he stopped trying to interrupt you, finally focusing on your words.
“I can probably get you somewhere between five and ten minutes before everyone finds out you’re missing.”
He scoffed.
“That’s very generous of you.”
“I also won’t look too hard for you,” you added, because you would obviously be in charge of that as well. “So as long as you don’t do a terrible job hiding, we probably won’t find you. Stay away from hotels, and don’t get noticed.”
Jungkook stayed silent for a while. He didn’t look at you, jaw set, and you were pretty sure he was weighing the pros and cons of your plan.
“I don’t know if there’ll be another chance,” you told him truthfully. “They want you gone after the fight.”
The silence went on a little longer, before Jungkook spoke again.
“Anna’s said yes to that?”
You didn’t miss the way his voice faltered on her name. You didn’t think he had spoken to her in years, but he still had a soft spot for her, and being reminded of it always made you sad. You had accepted, a long time ago, that life wasn’t fair, but that was particularly true when it came to him. None of what had happened to him was fair. The shy boy with the wide eyes you’d helped buy at the auction deserved better. You didn’t, probably deserved every single bad thing that had happened to you, but for him, you wished you had done something — anything — differently. So you wouldn’t be faced with a jaded, cynical version of that boy right now.
“She opposed it, but her father is still going through with it.”
“So she didn’t oppose it much.”
You didn’t answer that. It was true, and you both knew it.
You glanced at your watch. Your time here was almost over, and you had a lot of responsibilities.
“Will you do it?”
Jungkook glanced at you, eyes wary.
“How do I know you’re telling me the truth? You could just do that so you could have me killed and say I tried to escape.”
You shook your head, almost amused by the possibility.
“I would gain nothing from doing that, and if I wanted you dead, I wouldn’t go about it that way. Will you do it?”
This time, he nodded. He didn’t trust you, but he thought you were telling the truth on this.  So following your plan would be just as well.
“Good. I’ll see you for the fight.”
This would have been a good moment to wish him good luck, probably, but you didn’t do luck, so you didn’t say anything. You gave him a quick nod, gathered your things, and then you were out.
You didn’t think to say goodbye.
Tumblr media
“We’ll get him when the crowd’s dispersed,” one of the bodyguards says, and you hum noncommittally in response, eyes on your phone.
Moron.
If these two were the ones you usually work with, they would know that your usual protocol is to go get Jungkook as soon as the referee’s lifted his hand up. That way, you can get him out as quickly as possible and you don’t have to worry about him getting mobbed. But you’ve changed your team the day Mr. Xanders asked you to ‘put Jungkook down’, so they have no idea. It’s been a week since then, which shouldn’t make it too suspicious. Hopefully.
When the crowd does move enough to see what’s going on in the cage — three minutes — one of the two men says, voice worried, “Hey, can you see him?”
Your head snaps up and your eyes scan the room. You’re relieved to see that Jungkook’s nowhere in sight.
“Where is he?” you ask urgently, and the men seem to shrink under your glare, exchanging worried glances. You roll your eyes and sigh. This may be your plan, but they’re still acting incompetent. Which is good for you, sure, but the perfectionist in you is annoyed.
“You two should pray he’s in the changing room,” you spit out as you march towards it. It takes some struggle, because the crowd isn’t exactly calming down, but it’s not too long.
Of course, Jungkook isn’t in the changing room. It was a bad idea to go look there anyway — usually you would probably have already informed everyone that he had disappeared — but these two don’t seem to realize that.
“Go search the fighting room,” you order, “make sure you haven’t missed anything. Then check the surroundings. I’ll stay there. Let me know if you find something.”
They practically run out, and you allow yourself to sit down. This isn’t even dangerous yet. If Jungkook’s done that part correctly, he should already be too far for them to find him. As far as you’re concerned, you’ve bought him — you check your watch — seven minutes. But even if you don’t doubt him, you still feel terror at the idea they could catch him. You don’t know what would happen then. You don’t want to think about it.
The seconds tick by. It’s been almost exactly ten minutes when your phone rings.
“Hello, Miss—”
“Do you have him?” you bark.
There’s a silence.
“I want an answer!” you snap.
“No. I’m sorry. We’ve lost him.”
You hang up immediately and start to dial another number to let people know Jungkook’s missing.
But, before you actually call, you let out a brief sigh of relief.
This just might work.
Tumblr media
You get home late the following night. When you do, you’re absolutely exhausted. You’ve had a terrible day, unable to sleep a wink, and you got thoroughly chewed out over Jungkook going missing. You think Mr. X was suspicious of you, because you basically don’t fuck up, ever, but then Anna started to wax poetics about how “Jungkook was a soul who wanted to live”, and you don’t think he bought it, but it at least got his mind off of you.
You doubt he’d get you killed over that, it just isn’t worth it and you’re pretty valuable, but it would be much better if he didn’t think about it too much.
You’ve organized the searches, pretty sloppily in your own opinion. Of course, it’s possible that they could find him, but if Jungkoook does his part, everything should be okay.
You remove your shoes with a groan when you walk in. You usually never regret wearing heels, thankful for the centimeters they help you gain, but tonight you definitely do. Keeping them on for two days was not how they had been intended to be used.
Once they’re off your feet, you painfully walk to your kitchen. All you want to do is to make yourself a cup of tea before going to bed, but you stop yourself before grabbing your kettle.
Something feels— off. You’re probably the only person who could notice it, because you’re  so obsessive with everything that’s in your home, but you just can’t miss it. It’s not much, just some items that aren’t where they should be, or that were moved a little to the side.
Your breath catches in your throat, and you hesitantly grab a knife from your kitchen drawer. You don’t think that would do anything, if someone was in your apartment right now, because you can’t fight and, considering the people you work for, you’re pretty sure if someone wanted to kill you they would, but it makes you feel better.
You make your way through the living-room slowly, heart hammering in your chest. You check the bathroom, first. No one’s in there, but it’s clear that whoever was there used it as well. He didn’t put your toothpaste back where it belonged.
That only leaves your room. You walk in, carefully, to find it empty. Your bed’s done, though not exactly how you do it, and that confuses you. At least until your eyes find the necklace that’s on your bedside table.
It’s the identifying tag Jungkook wore around his neck for fights. You reach out for it, in disbelief, and that only confirms what you thought.
A laugh bubbles in your throat, and you just can’t hold it in. It escapes your lips, breaking the silence that always reigns in your apartment.
Here. He was here, in the eye of the storm, while everyone was looking for him. You have no idea where he is now, but this makes you feel like he’ll be fine. Clearly, he is a smart man and he has resources.
You fall to the ground, lean against your bed, holding the tag in your hand. You give yourself a second. That’s more than you usually get. It’s a second to close your eyes and feel grateful and happy about what happened, a second to think that perhaps not everything is dark and terrible in the world.
A second, because Jungkook made it out.
And then, you open your eyes, and you come back to your reality, which is that you’ll be working for the family tomorrow, and the day after that, and probably for the rest of your life. There’s no out for you. No hope.
But at least Jungkook should be fine. You’ll never know about it, because if he is, then you’ll never hear about him again.
If you ever do, it will only mean bad news.

the demon bros + (un)dateables  drunk
tw for drinking so if you’re not into that yeah be warned. also there’s some mentions of horniness because uhhh,,,ya know
 Lucifer
normal soft drunk
it’s neither too easy nor too hard to get him drunk
also his drink of choice is probably wine really really expensive wine
he has a pretty high tolerance but not as high as his party animal bros
since it looks like he drinks pretty often if you look at all the alcohol in his  mancave  study
it’s canon he’s a soft drunk??? which,,,, cute
but also chaotic af
i feel like he just reverts to angel lucifer? the really cute innocent baby that’s also very, very chaotic (think of lesson 37+ luci which i only saw screenshots of but still)
expect him to do a 180: if he’s a stern emotionally constipated dad sober drunk luci is basically him with 0 filters but a lot of emotion
he’ll make weird dad jokes, tell people he cares about them, ask dumb dumb questions that he thinks about daily but never voices
“ok mc but what is lol actually and why does levi say that all the time. wait why are you laughing… lots of love? ok then I send you lol”
prefers to drink with close friends and family only because he knows how he gets when drunk
will not admit it but he enjoys being able to feel so?? free and say whatever he wants since he feels like he can’t normally
Mammon
heavy weight hyper puppy
he has a pretty high alcohol tolerance probably since he’s into partying
also he knows his limits because of past experiences
but sometimes limits are made to be broken
and once they’re broken oh boy
drunk mammon is just him but hyper
or more like even more hyper
i feel like he’d become as excited as a golden retriever on redbull in the first 4 hours
dancing with everyone, making crack jokes, getting into weird situations
and then if he drinks a liiitle bit too much
he’d just break down
and cry
and be an emotional mess
which ends up in him crying over your/ his bros’ shoulder telling everyone he loves them
and then end up falling asleep
so you have to take turns carrying him to bed and make sure he’s safely tucked in with a glass of water close by
you don’t mind though since usually he makes sure you get home safe when you go drinking 
Leviathan
heavy weight emotional drunk 100%
another boy that sleeps near a bottle of alcohol so he probably drinks regularly
if you’re in your room all day it’s pretty easy to just do it since you’re safe so he does it whenever he feels like it
this jealous boy can fake being chill while sober but once you get him drunk expect tears, angry rants, yelling, semi-public mental breakdowns
you always end up having to put him into bed while he cries on your shoulder all the while you try to lift this surprisingly heavy boy into his bathtub bed
but also since he’s the most artistic of the family I bet sometimes he does art while drunk?
you once went to his room trying to return a manga you took and oh no levi is painting a 2 meters ruri mural while he’s in the nude
don’t question it it helps him concentrate
sometimes sad bitch energy mixed with alcohol equals great things
he’s also in the lowkey horny drunk category
what can you do it happens when you’re a touch starved nerd,,, all alone in your room,,, drinking
 Satan
light weight happy drunk
two glasses of wine and he’s gone
remember like all cards with satan drinking? yup he’s a happy drunk
if sober he’s like ugh partying is for nerds
drunk satan just wants to party with everyone
and vibe
he’ll invite everyone to take group shots, dance all night, do weird shit that ends up being photographed (to his next day hungover dismay)
he’s terrible at club dancing but he will be found in the middle of the dancefloor going wild
expect embarrassing dancing at first
but if you want to correct him he won’t say no to dancing with you more,,, intimately
may or may not grab your hands and start waltzing at some point though
(you think it’s great he’s so happy and free so it doesn’t matter)
  Asmodeus
heavy weight horny drunk
has the highest alcohol tolerance since he’s the party animal of the family
lmao what did you expect
drink of choice is probably devilgrammable cocktails: fun, sexy, colorful just like him
he’s the definition of babe let’s drink so we can have wilder sex
loves how oversensitive he feels while drunk??? and how his senses get overwhelmed
will moan out loud if he bumps into a table while drunk no shame, no regrets
and dance really lasciviously with whoever catches his eye
if you’re romantically involved not only will he grind into you or let you do so with him
but expect lap dances
if you surprise him with lap dances instead expect to be,,,, rewarded wink wink
but if you do something meaningful for him or give him tthoughtful compliments 
he will go into his emotional mode and literally hug you and never let go 
...and you’ll have to spend your night in his arms while he tells you all about how he thinks you’re perfect for him and how thankful he is that you’re in his life
expect some tears in those moments (that he tries to hide while you casually pretend they’re not there in the first place)
Beelzebub
 idk normal tolerance and emotional drunk
since he’s HUGE it’s probably not super easy to get him drunk but also since he doesn’t really drink much it’s not hard either
talks about issues and cries
a lot
so he doesn’t drink all that much
and only does it with his family
him and belphie always end up cuddling and falling to sleep together if they both get drunk since they are both emotional messes when alcohol is involved
and you join them too if you’re drinking with them
Belphegor
heavy weight emotional drunk but on the angry side
like his twin but he probably...drinks more?? he’s such a sad bitch I mean c’mon
like his bro he’s an emotional drunk
sad crying, angry crying, just crying
that’s him that’s what you get into if you tell him to drink with you
will get in the stabby mode if too drunk
so don’t let him drink too much if you value your and his life  
...rather cuddle him until he gets too comfy and warm and falls asleep 
works every time
Diavolo
normal tolerance sleepy drunk
is used to drinking because of social gatherings and high class etiquette but he doesn’t indulge often
since he mostly drinks with luci, barbatos and you
high key prefers sweet cocktails instead of normal fancy drinks
i bet if you took him to the club he’d want to try out the weirdest most colorful cocktails
and then make barbatos redo them
can hold his liquor but he’s still a sleepy boy? like alcohol probably calms him and he’s just so comfortable and at peace he just,,, naps with his head on your shoulder (or luci’s, or barbatos’ depends who he’s drinking with or who’s closest to him at the moment)
if he’s in the club though it’s a different story
he goes full dad mode
doing all the embarrassing dad dances but proudly
remember the meme with prince william or whatever in the club? that’s him
A+ for effort though he really becomes the life of the party
 Barbatos
heavyweight vodka aunt
doesn’t really get drunk drunk since he has to take care of diavolo 24/7
but once it’s self care day
oh boy
he turns into a single suburbian mom
you’d think he’s the sophisticated wine mom but oh no
closes all doors and windows, puts on a hot bath with scented oils, lights candles, plays soft jazz in the background
and then drinks straight liquor out of the bottle
(like that one vine)
if you’re close and drink together he’ll also talk a lot more than usual
and give you fun stories about the bois and diavolo
“mc did i tell you about the first week lucifer and his brothers came to the devildom and had to cook for themselves for the first time in their lives? lucifer did not know how an oven works and that you have to close it after you’re done cooking and almost burned the whole house of lamentation down.”
 Simeon
light weight spaced out drunk
do not give him alcohol unless you want to experience weird random xD simeon
physically he’s here, spiritually he’s astral projecting
looks the same, smiles handsomely, no change here
...but if you try talking to him he’ll say the weirdest shit like
“mc do you think that the stars know that they are loved and we watch them every day”
uh idk simeon??? what do you think???
if you’re romantically involved he will flirt shamelessly, even more shamelessly than usual 
because,,, he’s just more honest so he just says whatever
people get uncomfortable around you two and end up backing off and leaving you alone
surprising enough or not he looks like he’s also a lowkey horny drunk
ofc you can’t tell since he’s so chill all the time
but I bet you he’s horny inside hornier than asmo
Solomon
heavyweight deep drunk
this boy has done some drinking in his lifetime 
...since he has whiskey grandpa vibes
will say really out of the blue thoughtful things??? which is so not like sober solomon 
“mc you remind me of one of the people that meant the most to me they too were here for me and believed in me when no one else did and I have to thank you for that”
wow solomon that sure was random since you were talking about how cold it is outside before but thank you i guess
fakes being not drunk easily but you can tell the moment he starts speaking that he’s gone
also looks at you straight in the eyes when he talks to you
and sometimes starts giggling or blushing
which makes you go??????? solomon are you okay

I'm on mobile so I can't put a word cut rn I'm so sorry
Word count: 6k (IM SO SORRY FOR FELLOW MOBILE USERS WHO JUST WANNA SKIP THIS POST)
Pretty Setter Squad x gender neutral reader (minus Kageyama and Shirabu)
No pronouns/body parts mentioned
🏐It had started off innocent enough. Your parents wanted you to be more involved in school. You didn't care for any athletics but you heard that there was one club at your school famous: volleyball. 
🏐Between the maroon plaid skirt, high grades, and the famous volleyball club of Shiratorizawa you couldn't deny that it was a good school.
🏐So, you got more involved at such a good school, with something it was famous for.
🏐You became the manager for the volleyball club. It was weird and maybe even a little awkward at first, but it was mostly Tendou who helped you warm up to the team and get you out of your shell.
🏐Watching them practice you could see how strong and efficient they all were at volleyball; you couldn't say for yourself how good they were in action until a practice game against another school. Shiratorizawa won 25-5 in the first set, 25-10 in the second.
🏐You were floored at that match.
🏐When it comes around to a volleyball training camp you suggested to the coach that they spend a day at another school for a practice match the coach arranged for the volleyball club to stay at a camp for a week!
🏐You were excited and so was Tendou. He was definitely a golden retriever in a past life
🏐You all go out the night before and you're so excited and you all start talking
🏐They're all excited about it and ask what you're excited for
🏐So you state fax
🏐"I'm excited to see the other setter/spiker duos in action. Moreso for the setters"
🏐Ushijima is like ah yes a fellow of culture I see!
🏐Semi and Shirabu are so flustered by that it's low key adorable
🏐Ushijima also respects setters for giving him the ball to spike
🏐So when you get to the volleyball camp it's hot so you wear the track jacket and school skirt
🏐Karasuno, Kuroo, and Bokuto all like 👀👀👀 another manager 
🏐Oikawa is interested too
🏐Especially when he comes over and you politely talk to him
🏐Oikawa is sooo fucking frustrated and peeved when you beeline over to karasuno to talk to kageyama 
🏐Man's is like aight imma head out
🏐Iwaizumi respects it tho. He respects that you treat Oikawa like walmart 💓
🏐you stick with semi and those who are benched and help them exercise/practice
🏐and then this guy walks up to you and he is TALL and looks like a MODEL and he has this really stern glam look to his eye so when he looks you in the eye and says in the most bored voice "where's your setter?" 
🏐why did you respond "I'm sorry I'm single"
🏐Tendou becomes the 🤣 emoji
🏐so you just grab model boys hand and lead him to Semi and Shirabu who are hanging out at the same bench
🏐"Semi, this is??" "I'm akaashi. I wanted you to teach me your sets."
🏐so semi and akaashi make plans to do some setting together after practice matches, before dinner
🏐when the time comes akaashi brings along a friend: kenma!
🏐 Kenma sits by you and observes akaashi and semi as they toss up balls, he watches you write down what semi is saying and make little diagrams on a piece of paper
🏐so kenma makes an offhand comment to you
🏐"Semi is putting most of his force into his fingertips when he sets the ball"
🏐You say thanks and write it down
🏐suga is the makeshift babysitter for oikawa so iwaizumi can have a BREAK for once in his life
🏐so when suga loses sight of oikawa he's like oh lawd oh god no
🏐So he gets to the gym and finds oikawa
🏐Oh god Oikawa is bothering you oh no
He walks over telling oikawa to go away
🏐You him and kenma are talking setting things while semi and akaashi keep practicing 
🏐Okay so maybe oikawa can bother you
🏐Sugawara walks over and introduces himself
🏐He's a setter too I see 👀
🏐Oikawa sees ur phone light up with a notif from Twitter and he sees the handle before you turn it over
🏐You didn't even check the notif
🏐So he thinks it's kind of weird
🏐So everyone goes to dinner and sits with their teams and you sit with semi and everyone else and just big chilling
🏐And then you get a Twitter dm
🏐On your side thirst twitter
🏐It's from oikawa: I saw your subtweet about setters having pretty hands. Wanna see what mine can do?
🏐Semi be like what you looking at
🏐Oh god semi read it oh god
🏐Semi starts sputtering and gets upset
🏐Oikawa can't just talk to you like that!!
🏐Semi talks to oikawa after dinner and you go stay with the managers cleaning up
🏐But then
🏐Sugawara walks over
🏐And so do kenma and akaashi 
🏐Oikawa be like oh yes mischief time
🏐He just wants to fluster you
🏐Suga is interested
🏐Kenma and akaashi no go
🏐Semi does NOT want to share
🏐Oikawa and semi manage to corner you in a room that's empty and they both grope/finger fuck you
🏐Oikawa is in front of you groping you and giving soft sweet kisses to your face as he figures out what you like
🏐Semi is behind you with his hand in your pants as he tries to get you to moan
🏐And then suga walks in
🏐It's mostly just hands and teasing and you don't even get to get off before you hear someone calling for oikawa
🏐They all back off
🏐It is really weird at dinner that night as 🏐semi has a hand over your shoulder and after dinner he hangs out with you and the other setters
🏐Suga sits behind you with you in between his legs, back to chest and he plays with your hair
🏐Oikawa sits in between your legs
🏐Kenma and akaashi are laying against each other
🏐Semi sits beside you holding your hand
🏐You're all just on your phones 
🏐Except suga he is mercilessly teasing you 
🏐Oikawa is so jealous he wants to make you blush too
🏐So he scoots down and bites your inner thigh
🏐And when you let out a whimper kenma just looks over you and sucks in a breath while akaashi is just watching you
🏐Oikawa gets mischievous like kenma akaashi don't you want to hear some more from our little manager
🏐Kenma is shy so akaashi comes over and brings kenma with him
🏐Suga moves his hands to lightly rest around a shoulder and the other holding your neck 
🏐Semi grabs your hand towards him restraining you and he pries back one leg
Akaashi grabs the other hand/leg
🏐Oikawa is more than happy to eat you out and grope you while everyone watches
🏐And no one has a condom so it's all mouth and hands
🏐Someone comes on your chest/stomach and in your hand but when it comes time to clean up it's a little weird
🏐Kenma akaashi and semi all sit by each other while you're laying across all three of their legs
🏐Suga and oikawa come back and give out wet towels for everyone to clean up with
🏐You just lay there and cuddle with them until someone comes by saying it's bed time
🏐You all go to bed but it's pretty interesting the next morning when all the setters snag a table and have you sit with them
🏐Bokuto and kuroo of course come with akaashi and kenma
🏐And they start to ask if ur single if u wanna date can they have your number
🏐And oikawa is like. A dog. He's like no. M I n e
🏐It's kind of sad when all of you have to go back home,you all text on a group chat so it's pure chaos but fun
🏐Kenma prefers to text you one on one and play games with you 
🏐Semi likes to go run down to the store with you after volleyball practice to eat 
🏐Oikawa likes to get on calls with you and study 
🏐Suga likes to recommend you s stuff and send pics/tea about karasuno
🏐Akaashi just sends you pics of bokuto going emo mode it's low-key funny
🏐You guys will either meet again at a volleyball club or on weekends or for a Netflix party!

The first date: late. Not everyone can edit.
I traveled around my room in a repetitive pattern. Bed, journal, mirror, bed, journal, mirror, bed etc.etc. I’d rise from my bed thinking writing may help, worry I’ve messed up my hair while laying in bed, check in the mirror, return to my bed, then try to write again.
Nervous? Yes.
I don’t understand those girls who are like “oh I’m not nervous, he’s just another boy after all” right, just another boy who’s incredibly handsome and will one day rule all of illea. It’s okay it’s okay, just breathe.
Gosh I haven’t even made any friends to gush to about.
Suddenly there’s a knock on my door.
I open it wide, “Hey Prince Nathaniel, Ready to bake and frost?” I ask with a smile.
“More like am I ready to completely makes a mess and a fool of myself.” in just that one sentence all of my worried melt away. Yes he may be a very handsome soon to be ruler, but I’m a very attractive already ruler of baking.
I laugh, “You’ll be fine. I once taught a baking class for a kindergarten class you can’t do worse than them.”
He seemed to look at me like my previous statement only made him more ashamed.
“Oh yes I can.” I feel a grin stretch from ear to ear. This would be just as fun as I had hoped.
“Well, if you make a mistake I’ll be here to fix it. There’s always a way to fix in baking.”
“Ready to go?” He holds out his arm for me to take. It feels so sturdy. So real. Well no duh it’s real Clara.
“Yup, let’s go.”
We soon arrive down in the kitchen. Most of the staff seems to be gone, I wonder if he moved them somewhere. I hope our date isn’t causing too much of a problem.
“So what do we need?” He asks.
“It depends on the type of cake we’re going to make. How ambitious are you? Would you rather a chocolate, fruity, or neutral flavour?”
“Chocolate.” I giggle a bit at him only answering one of the questions. Maybe it was a bit too much to ask all at once. Probably why Alec is in charge of the customers.
“Hmm okay so that’s one thing. Would you feel ambitious enough to try a harder cake or would you rather a safe and simple one?”
“Simple, I don’t want to completely mess this up.”
“Alright how about a chocolate sponge cake with a marble icing?” I ask. I admit that is not really too simple. But I couldn’t help wanting to show off a little bit. This was my turf after all.
“uhhhh I’ll attempt it.”
“It’ll be fine.” I then pat his back trying for some subtle encouragement.
He grabs the materials we need and I feel myself slip into autopilot.
“Thank you, alright. I brought paper and pen and I already have the recipe for a chocolate sponge cake memorized. But I’ll work on the frosting while you work on cake mixture. Mix all of the dry stuff on here and put it in the mixer bowl. Then I can mix the wet stuff and put them together. Sponge cake is only slightly complex in the mixing of wet and dry because if your mixture doesn’t whip It’ll fall and you’ll end up with almost a gummy cake.”
I can see the fear on his face which snaps me back into reality. Oh right, kindergarten mode Clara.
“Okay okay, I’ll do this step by step. First put 2 cups of flour in the bowl. I’ll put in the coco powder.”
I watch him very carefully measure out the flour. His care for it being adorable to watch compared to what I’ve seen more experienced bakers do. Just tossing in the amount of flour that feels right and moving on.
“I did it.” He says with a smile.
“Good job. And if you’d like to restore your honor some time you could try to teach me to play guitar. I guarantee you I’d do worse at guitar than you will at baking. Alrightttt next up we need just a little bit of baking soda, could you put just 2 teaspoons in?” I ask. Bringing up the next step to hide my fear of embarrassment at hinting at a second date that I may not even get.
He measures again. “boom.”
I chuckle at his enthusiasm and then the idea hits, “Okay so don’t get scared, but what if we made like a really liquidy chocolate filling for the center of the cake. Then it would be a lava sponge cake with marble frosting. It would just fit so well.” I say the whole idea combining into a wet and warm and chocolatey cake.
His eyes widen, “uhhh sure.”
I laugh, “Sorry, didn’t mean to threaten you. I just work with cakes so I can’t let a good cake idea go to waste. I guarantee you it will make the cake taste so much better.”
“Here I have an idea-” He sits on the counter “-you make the cakes and I sit here and watch you.” He smirks. I can’t help but blush as he smirks down at me.
“Hmmm…but then you aren’t helping with the cake. How about so you still get to participate you can be my taste tester.”
He smiles, “I’m down. I’ll be the best taste tester you’ve ever had.”
“Hmmm well that’s up for debate. I have a golden retriever named soup who eats everything when I bake. Though he lacks in feedback he certainly tastes a lot.” I joked.
I was delighted at him laughing hard at either my joke or my tale. Get it tale because it’s about a dog.
“Soup? That is the best name for a dog.”
“It was the only one that fit. All he ate the first week we got him was soup. Then it was cakes.”
“That dog lives the best life.”
“He really does. Have you ever had a dog?”
“No, my mom won’t let us it will ‘ruin the furniture’.” He adds in air quotes around ruin the furniture.
“Well, maybe you could get a very calm dog. Soup only destroyed things if he thought it was food.”
“I’m going to get a dog as soon as I can.”
“Wise choice.” I dip my finger into the bowl then almost offer the mixture to him. “Taste? Oh wait that’s weird you aren’t a dog.” I laugh then taste it myself and tilt the bowl a little towards him.
Next I put the mixture into the tray and in the oven it goes. “We need to wash out the mixer now to use it for the frosting. Would you like to help clean, taste tester?”
“Of course.” He smiles and motions for the spatula.
I hand over the tool and begin to wash out the remaining cake mixture.
“So tell me about yourself.” He prompts.
“Well, first there’s the stuff you already know I bake, I have a dog named soup, andddd I have chicken family traditions. Some other things are that I’m a very big optimist, I like to dance, I have a cat too, andddddd off the top of my head the last thing I can think of is that my favourite vegetable is celery with peanut butter.”
“What’s up with all the girls loving vegetables?” He asked with a chuckle. Must be why we’re all so attractive.
“They’re very good for your nutrition. Not to mention I eat a lot of sweets because of my workplace. Gotta balance it out.”
“I’m sure we have celery if you want some.”
I laugh, “I’d rather save my appetite for the cake.”
“Didn’t you say you dance?”
“Yup. I took classes when I was still in school. I can do ballroom, hip-hop, ballet, and contemporary. It was a lot of fun to take it.” Good thing he asked. It’d be horrible if he thought I was a stripper.
“I bet it was, what is school like?”
“It was very boring, except for the dance parts. It was way too early in the morning, you’d sit in a room with 19 other people minimum who also didn’t want to be there, at the crack of dawn, and talk about a bunch of dead men.”
“Wait… that’s actually what schools like?”
“Yeah it sucks. It’s like a prison. My mom wanted me to go to business school too but I asked for a year to just be at the home.” I am a four after all. Business will be my future if I don’t find a way out of it.
“It’s good to take a break every once and awhile.” That made me wonder. How is he able to take a break when his occupation is hand in hand with his life?
“Do you ever take a break from your occupation?”
He thinks for a moment, “It depends, like I’m always working but sometimes I only have to work for an hour. But I don’t have to do much on weekends.”
“What do you like to do for fun on the weekends?”
“Play guitar, go somewhere.” he shrug. “I don’t know.”
“You about you, what do you do for fun.” My eyebrows furrow. He doesn’t seem to like questions about himself. I wonder why.
“I like to do those really big puzzles. With like 5000 pieces.”
“Really?”
“They’re very fun, though very time consuming.” I glance over and see that the timer on the oven is about to finish in a few seconds. So I put some oven mitts on and go ahead and take out the cake.
The excitement on Nate’s face grows visibly as I set the cake down, “I’m so ready.”
I pipe the filling into the cake then pour the marble glaze frosting on top after it’s cooled. Then I slice off some for him and plate it.
It’s the moment of truth, for some reason all of my nerves come rushing back to me. I’ve never made a cake for someone as high up as Nathaniel. Oh no what if he hates it.
He takes his first bite.
“Oh my god that’s so good.” and once more the relief washes over me. I grin as he takes another bite and cut myself a slice.
“Yes! Successful cake. And you helped at the very beginning and with taste testing.”
“I’m a professional baker.” he says with a bit of a sassy tone. I cut my slice and look up at him. This first date has gone so much better than I thought.
He loves the cake, we had pleasant conversation, we got to know each other, and as he sat on the counter just a little higher up than me I wanted to kiss his cheek. That’d be weird though. A cheek kiss on the first date? Show some self restraint Clara. I fear though the nerves coming back, and with my urge now to do something horrible that would ruin it I find myself wanting to run away. Make it seem cool though, make a cute and flirty exit.
“Clearly. Never would have been able to do this without you. Well I assume you’ve got 34 other girls to meet with and loads of work to do, so I’ll leave you be. Feel free to eat more cake.” I excuse myself and put a small fingerprint of flour on his nose as I make my way out of the date.

In Charlie’s Angels, Kristen Stewart makes a case for herself as our new Hollywood Chris
Tumblr media
Kristen Stewart is the Hollywood Chris we deserve. | Columbia Pictures
Kristen Stewart genderqueers the Chris archetype in her new movie.
We have a new Hollywood Chris in town, and her name is Kristen Stewart.
Traditionally, the Hollywood Chrises comprise the Chrises Evans, Pine, Hemsworth, and Pratt: a perfect Ken doll quartet of white male blond and blue-eyed action stars named Chris. But with Charlie’s Angels, out this Friday, Kristen Stewart makes a powerful argument that she belongs in their midst.
I do not make the suggestion that we add a new Hollywood Chris to the canon lightly. Contrarians are always trying to petition for Chrises who aren’t blond and blue-eyed white dudes, like the Chrises Messina, Waltz, Rock, and Baranski. But the canonical four share a certain essential Chris-ness that is hard to match.
For one cannot become a Hollywood Chris merely by being named Chris and working in Hollywood. No, there is something aspirational in the idea of the Hollywood Chris, a pure and wholesome soft jock ideal that makes being a Hollywood Chris a status that must be earned. As Kate McKinnon put it on SNL in 2017: “You’re all white guys, you’re all named Chris, and you’re all kind of scruffy and squinty and jacked, but in a sweet way.”
Chris Evans wearing a nametag that says “Chris” to his high school reunion? Earnest, a little self-deprecating, extremely pure: a highly Chris move. Chris Pine using a flip phone? Strong dad vibes, very Chris. Pointedly positioning oneself as a non-nice guy capable of playing villains, as Chris Messina has been doing lately? A true Hollywood Chris would never: No matter how many onscreen villains he might play, his offscreen vibes would remain squeaky clean.
It’s for that reason that people are always threatening darkly to remove Chris Pratt, rumored Trump supporter, from his place in the quartet. There’s a sense that he might not be quite as wholesome in private as that press tour where he French braided a girl’s hair on camera led us all to believe, and thus, he is no true Chris.
In Charlie’s Angels, Kristen Stewart proves that where Pratt is falling, she is ascendent. Kristen Stewart has that essential Chris-ness by the bucket-full. She has finally come into her full powers as a Hollywood Chris — nay, a Hollywood Kris. And in the process, she’s queering our understanding of the poles of Hollywood masculinity and femininity.
In Charlie’s Angels, Kristen Stewart makes it clear that the ditz and the Chris are two sides of the same coin
I want to be clear: When I say that Kristen Stewart is performing Chris-ness in the new Charlie’s Angels, I don’t just mean that she’s also blond now (although she is), or that she’s also in an action movie (although she is). I mean that she’s performing the sweet and earnest jock persona that is at the heart of the Hollywood Chris ideal, and she is making it genderqueer.
Stewart’s character in the movie is Sabina, the kind of earnestly nice superspy who will die to protect her friends but always fumbles her way through her quippy punchlines. She gets distracted during one stakeout because she’s looking at cute dog pictures, and then again during another because she’s checking out a girl. In another movie, she’d be the blond ditz to co-star Ella Balinska’s sleek badass — the Cameron Diaz to Balinska’s Lucy Liu — but Stewart plays Sabina as too butch for her to read as a ditz the way her Angelic forebears did. She’s all leather jackets and short bangs, not crop tops and feathered hair.
Instead, Sabina reads as a superhumanly athletic and powerful spy with the heart of a loveable golden retriever, an overwhelmingly sweet jock. With just a touch of performed masculinity, the ditz becomes a Chris.
And the idea that the ditz and the Chris are two sides of the same gendered coin is built into the structure of this new Charlie’s Angels iteration. The movie opens on Sabina seducing a mark into complacency while she’s in high femme mode; her hair is long and blond and wavy, her nails are pink, her dress is tiny, and her eyelashes bat constantly.
We know what to expect when we’re given a scene like this one in a Charlie’s Angels movie. Clearly, Sabina is doing that classic Charlie’s Angels thing where an Angel dresses up for the male gaze for Purposes of Her Own, and she will eventually reveal herself to be hiding some surprising competence under her apparent ditziness, just the way Cameron Diaz did in the 2000 Charlie’s Angels. It’s a beloved trope because it allows the audience the pleasure of watching a pretty woman in a sexy outfit, while also allowing us to feel smug for recognizing that we are watching her for the correct reasons, unlike the mark, who is watching her for the wrong reasons.
But as the scene goes on, Stewart keeps gently undercutting the idea that she is there to be gazed at, or that the poles she’s operating between are the traditionally feminine extremes of ditz/ice cold badass.
First, she gives us more than a hint that she’s interested in doing some gazing of her own, and that her gaze will be queer. There’s a moment where her mark tells her to picture a woman with power tools or a woman driving a taxi (because just because women can do anything doesn’t mean that they should), and the camera holds her face in extreme closeup as her eyes go wide. Sabina’s expression can read as amusement at the idea that she’s supposed to be scandalized, or anger at her mark — but it can also read as lust at the idea of these butch women.
And after a fight breaks out as expected and a triumphant Sabina subdues her mark and whips off her wig, she reveals hair that is much too short to flip instead of doing the classic Charlie’s Angels hair toss. And as she drops the character voice she’s been doing, Sabina’s posture slides and slouches into a stance that’s a little more relaxed, a little more bro-y than anything we’d normally expect from the ditz.
The camera doesn’t linger on these details, and they’re not the point of the scene. (The big punchline comes when Ella Balinska’s badass Jane, fed up with Sabina’s admonitions that Jane should have more fun, shoves Sabina off a roof.) But this rapid reversal from ditz to bro — from a Cameron to a Chris — underlies everything else Sabina does over the course of the film.
Traditionally, the ditzy high femme superspy is a post-feminist ���have your cake and eat it too” trope. On the one hand, the ditzy spy shows us that femininity can be a powerful weapon, and that there is no shame in soft power. But on the other hand, there’s always been a sense in which the ditzy spy seems to quell our fears of powerful women. The ditz is allowed to be incredibly competent because she’s still conventionally feminine, and her femininity makes her competence unthreatening.
No such contradiction underlies the Chris. Chrises are highly competent and also a little bit sweetly dorky, occasionally even dim in a puppyish way, but their dimness never undercuts their heroism, their aspirational masculinity. Chris Hemsworth’s Thor can completely fail to understand how to order a coffee refill at a diner and still be a godlike hero. Chris Evans’s Captain America can get nerdily excited over finally understanding a pop culture reference and still break a log in half with his bare hands.
When Cameron Diaz does a silly dance in the 2001 Charlie’s Angels, she wins her fight in spite of it. When Chris Pratt does a silly dance in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, he wins his fight because of it. Diaz is allowed to win in spite of her relatable silliness; he is able to win because of his.
By switching seamlessly from a ditz to a Chris, Sabina — or rather, Kristen Stewart — is able to take for her own the mantle of competence that Chrises are assumed to wear by birthright. She is able to be a heroic figure because of her golden retriever-ish sweetness and her over-enthusiasms, not in spite of them. She genderqueers the Chris paradigm, and for that reason, Kristen Stewart is truly the Hollywood Chris we need in 2019.

A soangelo one shot- Nico almost loses Will
Rated M!! This gets a little dirty so if you don't like to read that stuff scroll past this. I own nothing !!! A quest!!! Nico was excited about being given a quest. It had been a hot minute since they had some purpose around camp other than training. Will was going with him along with Jason,Leo ,and Annabeth. It's was. Simple mission to retrieve about 4 Demi gods from a school in Virginia. From what Chiron had told them two were minor gods children and two Olympians. Rumor had it that due to the high volume of demigods in that school they were attracting a lot of monster activity. The team was a good choice. Leo could be a great asset if they needed to Hotwire a get away car. Annabeth has written notes and contacted the parents of the kids letting them know they were coming to camp making sure that it didn't look like kidnapping. Jason was the next best fighter next to Nico himself and Will well.. it's always good to have a healer on board right? Hestia and Leo had a budding mother son relationship flowing and due to that she offered to travel them all to the school so Nico could shadow travel everyone on the way back without needing to rest. Stepping onto the school grounds they found themselves surrounded by destruction. Flying bat like creatures seemed to be flying overhead and the rest was in shambles. They didn't expect this level of trouble. Walking through the school they noticed claw marks up and down the hallway walls. Something like acid covered part of the floors bubbling and hissing eating through. The smell was enough to make you woozy. This wasn't just the flying bats there were a number of monsters at this school. Most seemed to be evacuated but they would run across a few hurt people down the different hallways. They soon realized that the highschool had booby traps as well. Whatever was doing this had a brain as well and that didn't set well with the group. Leo could disarm a lot of the traps and Annabeth was coming up with great strategy but they couldn't seem to find the kids they were looking for. Jason and Nico would be busy fighting off a wave of creatures as Leo took apart the traps they ran into every few seconds. Will and Annabeth were devising a plan trying to think where the kids could be. Soon they found themselves outside of a classroom that was blocked off by thick layers of plant life. This had to be it. Looks like one of the Kids could possibly be a child of Demeter. Using his Stygian iron blade Nico cut through the vegetation like butter finding all four kids huddled in the corner. 3 girls and 1 boy. The two older came toward them ready to fight when Will intervened and told them who we were. The youngest girl was hurt blood dripping down her arm. Will went into doctor mode on an instant. (Initials will be used so you know who is talking) AC: Hey guys we told your parents we were coming after you guys! My name is Annabeth daughter of Athena. That's Will son of Apollo, Jason son of Zeus(Jupiter ), Leo son of Hephaestus , and Nico son of Hades. We are going to get you guys to camp safely ok? Mike: Hi I'm Mike my mom is Aphrodite. That's Lauren she's daughter of Ares. Ashlee daughter of Thanatos and Katie daughter of Iris. Our parents told us you were coming for us. I'm just so happy you guys showed up it looks like we are under major attack and we.. we can't get out. That's when the building started shaking. Running from the room they kept getting slowed down my traps or creatures. Before Leo could disable the trap all Hades broke loose. Trapping them right outside the door to freedom Nicos worst fear came crawling around the corner. The Manticore. This wasn't just any old Manticore though this was the actual child of echidna. Surrounded by an army of smaller Manticores everyone broke out there best skills. Jason was frying every one that came across him. Annabeth was more than ok taking on two at a time celestial bronze at her ready. Leo setting fire to anything that crossed him. Nico like the shadows themselves shot between opponents like liquid slicing and disposing making gold dust rain down on them all. Using the shadows in a new way Nico found he could actually grab them and sling himself like ropes and vines wrapping the darkness around the necks of the creatures tying them in place for him to dismantle. Will was keeping the kids safe on the corner fighting off the smaller creatures with a bow. The arrow hit something it shouldn't have and bounced off the ceiling setting off an explosion and hitting will square on the chest at the same moment Nico drove his blade through the thick skin of the Child of Echnida. Everything slowed down. The wall crumbled trapping the kids and Will behind it. Nico saw the arrow impale Will as the building began to fall around them. Nico sprung into action trying to reach the love of his life only to be caught by Jason mid air. JG: Nico stop it's still falling you will be crushed! NDA: NOOO! WILL!! NOOO Nico was clawing his way out of Jason's grasp and failing miserably. No not Will he can't lose Will no no no no! This wasn't supposed to happen this was a retrieval mission this wasn't supposed to be like this! After the debris stopped falling Nico went over to the wall of rumble. 2 were dead. He could feel it. Will was dead. There was no way between the rubble and the arrow that he wasn't. Nico couldn't except that. Clawing through the rocks and making his hands raw and bloody doing so he did his best to find Will and the kids. He found Ashlee. Ashlee: Two are gone I can feel it!! Please no !! where are they!!! help them !!! why can't you help them!! She was hysterical. Lauren fought her way out of the rubble stumbling around. Looking for signs of Mike katie and Will. The demo was to heavy to move. Nico collapsed. NDA: This can't be happening please tell me this isn't happening. JG: Nico I'm sorry but we can't move it Nico was a shuttering mess. Tears leaking unceremoniously down his face and rage boiling inside of him. Not Will not his William! Nico stood and told Annabeth to get ahold of camp to get them back to Long Island. Nico had to have a talk with his father. ---------------------------------- Nico focused all of his strength and pulled the shadows onto him pinpointing the place he needed to be. Enveloping in the middle of his fathers throne room Nico started running toward the figure that was Hades. Falling to his hands and knees at his fathers feet he clutched the hem of his fathers robes. "Please!!! Please Papa please give him back to me" Nico wailed crying at the foot of his father. Shaking and on the verge of throwing up his father took his face in both hands. "Nico my son you know I couldn't do that. As much as I hate seeing you in this kind of pain I can't bring someone back from the dead for you. If I could I would have let you keep Bianca. " "You could do it!! You just don't want to! Papa please I-I love him!! I love him so much I can't lose someone else I love I can't!! I won't survive it!! Please papa please I'll do anything please!! I've given everything to him. My heart, my mind, my soul , my body!! More than I've ever given anyone!! You told me you wanted me to be the exception!! How could you want that and take him away from me!! Give him back!! You give him back to me right now!!" Nico was shaking so violently Hades feared he was going into convulsions. Picking up his son he carried him to his room. Opening the door he sat Nico down on the floor and closed the door. Pain seared through his body. He was happy!! He was finally happy and then his love his William was taken from him. Wracking sobs filled the room as he pounded the floor. "Would you be quiet!! Your going to wake him up!" Nico turned to the voice behind him to find Apollo leaning over his bed tending to someone. Crawling over to the bed still crying Nico saw it was Will. It was Will and he was breathing with a golden bandage over his chest. This.. this couldn't be! How? Why? His father had just told him he couldn't do anything!! As of reading his mind Apollo answered. "He didn't die. Hades grabbed him before the rubble fell on him. Uncle called me when he saw the arrow in his chest. It missed vitals but it was deep. He should be fine in a few hours. Nico Hades can't bring the dead back for you. No one can. But he wants you to be happy. He broke the rules the only way he could by grabbing Will at the last second the way he saved you and your sister. Unfortunately that means I owe him. Saving my son and all." Nico didn't respond to Apollo he just crawled next to Will taking him in his arms grasping him for dear life. Unable to stop crying he shook holding onto his love drenching the pillows and Wills shoulder. Apollo tried to tell him to let go but Nico heard a visceral growl rip from deep in his chest like a feral animal not to be messed with. He had to touch him to feel him. He had to feel him breathing and feel his warmth. Hour went by and Apollo had left them together. Pulling the black velvet curtains he surrounded them with his oldest friend the darkness only to realize they were not in the dark. Nico hadn't realized that they had never been in pure darkness together they always had some sort of light shining in the room whether it be moonlight or regular light. The pure darkness filled the space of the bed with the two of them and looking at Will pure sunlight shined trough every freckle on his bare torso. Looking at the curtains shining dots projected against them. Nico wanted to compare it to a disco ball until he started recognizing the patterns in the lights. Will freckles were constellations. All of them. Will was the son of the sun god but the patterns that enshrined his skin were the night sky. Nico always thought he figures out Will Solace and then here he goes again taking his breath away. "I remember the first time I realized I glowed. I was 6 and some bullies had locked me in a car trunk. I stayed there counting the stars til my mom found me." "They are beautiful. You are beautiful. " Leaning in he kissed Will. Will wrapped his arms around Nico as of holding on to him for dear life. Maybe he was. He had almost died the only though that went through his head before the rubble fell was "no I can't leave him" Will felt hot tears on his face that weren't his. Nico was crying. Sobs escaped his lips kissing Will begging him in Italian. Begging him not to leave him begging him to stay begging him to never scare him like that again. Saying his name like a litany of prayer. The wound on his chest had healed hours ago and seemed to put a little more pep in his step than usual. Nico felt Wills hands pulling at his clothes. In a rush of adrenaline they pulled and tore at eachother until only skin was between them. Will ran his mouth down Nicos torso watching as the light from his freckles danced along his pale skin and the curtain enclosure. Nico was moving his hands feverishly through Wills hair. He needed this he wanted this after a near death experience he needed something to truly feel alive and to prove that Will was indeed alive. Feeling Wills hot wet mouth dip between his legs sent his heart rate through the roof. A slight sheen of sweat broke out over both of them as Will bobbed his head up and down causing Nico to bite his lower lip. Will moaned onto Nicos member causing Nico to buck roughly into his mouth. Pulling his head up for air me crawled up Nico taking his mouth in full force. A thought crossed Wills mind and made him stop for a moment. "What is it what's wrong is it your chest? Apollo said you were healed!" "No it's not that I'm fine it's just uh.. I don't have any you know... supplies..." "I've got lube in the side drawer." "Wait you do?" "Dude your in my room. At my dads house yeah I have lube I lived here during my start of puberty so yeah " "Condoms?" "Ugh no cause I didn't think I needed them since I wasn't having sex at the time... plus it's hard to get laid in the underworld for crying out loud my dad had to steal a wife" "Noted. Umm well we don't have condoms so I guess mouths will have to do " Will started to dip his head again until Nico caught him and pulled him back up. The light Will was reflecting gave him just enough vision to see his eyes. "Um well I um... I don't need it if you don't " "What!? We have never had sex without a Condom Nico we have to be safe" "Are you that scared to get me pregnant?" "Haha your hilarious " "I mean it Will. Not the pregnant part but I've never had sex with anyone but you. Im not going to have sex with anyone but you. Ever. I want to feel you. Naturally." "That's a big step Nico are you sure?" "You used condoms with the son of Demeter right?" "Yeah every time" "Then I trust you. Do you trust me?" "Yes of course I do. It's just a big step" "Bigger than having you inside me?!" "Hey I've had you love in many many ways.." will trails his fingers on Nicos flesh "Take me Will. Take my body. It's yours babe and only yours" "I love you Nicolo" "I love you William " Will reached into the side table for the lube. Prepping his fingers he sunk his fingers into Nico. He started with two and worked til he could fit three. Nico was panting at the familiar feeling getting harder and harder as Will finger worked their magic finding his sweet spot inside him. Flipping Nico onto all fours and he lubed up his own hardness. Reaching for Nico he pulled him up by his neck so that his back was against his chest biting down on Nicos shoulder eliciting an embarrassing moan from Nico. Hovering over his entrance he pushed himself in and both him and Nico gasped in unison. "Oh my god I love you I love you so much" he murmured against the nape of his lovers neck. "Move Will move. Take me. Take me." Will began to move at a space so slow that Nico began to whine for him to go faster. Reaching his arms over his head Nico grabbed Wills hair for behind him. Will latched his mouth onto Nicos neck. Holding him around his chest one arm draped over cupping his neck while the other held Nicos length pumping him with the same rhythm he made love to him. Nico was used to the sensation of Will inside him by now. Pain long since forgotten from their first time. Nico craved these moments with Will touching him so erotically. Years ago he couldn't stand the idea of someone touching even his hand and now he allowed his beautiful creature behind him to touch him in the most intimate way anyone could ever touch another person. Feeling Will without a condom was different too. It did feel to much different physically on his end but from the way Will was shaking and breathing it must be a whole new experience for Will. It was different though he could feel them skin against skin. Every texture and every inch filling him hitting him inside over and over giving him proof that this love this man was alive. Alive and in love With him. Will suddenly let go of Nico and pushed his head down into the pillow. Withdrawing from Nico Will started to edge down the bed. Nico was surprised by Will withdrawing from him and didn't know what he was doing. Soon Will hands were on either side of Nicos behind and he could feel Wills mouth breathing his hot breath down him. Wills mouth came in contact with Nicos entrance and Nico began to shake with pleasure. Will and him had never gone past the vanilla forms of sex before and he defiantly had never been rimmed before. It was so unfamiliar to the point of being uncomfortable it its newness. It was also the hottest thing he had ever experienced. Precum was dripping off Nico at the sensation of his lovers tongue eating and exploring his backside. Will flicked his tongue at the puckered flesh sending Nico into a spiral of sensation. Trailing his mouth along Nicos crack and humming against his taint. Slapping him hard on one cheek Nico cried out collapsing on the bed. He was so close to releasing he had to pull himself together as Will flipped him on his back and kissed him. Tasting the lube on Wills mouth he realized it was strawberry flavored and he dig his nails hard into Wills back. Placing himself back inside of Nico he set himself at a relentless pace diving deeper and deeper into Nico. A long string of Italian cuss words filled the room which only made Will more eager. Will was a slave when it came to Nico speaking his first language especially during sex. Sweat dripped off Wills forehead onto Nicos lips and he licked the salty perspiration from his lips feeling more emotionally connected with Will than he had ever been. More emotionally connected than he had ever felt with anyone because Will love him out of choice and with his entirely. "Ti Amo William Ti Amo!" He cried feeling tears of intimacy leak from the side of his eyes trailing down his face into his ears and hair. Nico was building in his stomach and the more he built the more the tears fell. Nico came in rapturous howl from deep in his chest gripping Wills back so tight he was sure he drew blood. Coming at the same moment Will rode himself into Nico through their shared orgasam feeling the slickness across his stomach from Nicos release. Coming inside Nico for the first time sent a wave of emotion through Will and he clutched Nico close to him. Both boys held eachother in tearful and loving embrace peppering kisses all over the other one letting the other know the love and emotion they were pouring into the lovemaking they had just shared together. Falling into a blissful uninterrupted sleep embraced in their own afterglow.

Time for another set of updates so let’s get down to it.
Updated Toolbar
A rather minor one but I’ve updated the main toolbar for ease of access
Design Notes added as a drop-down menu for Lore
Meet the Characters Renamed to Roster
Worlds of Aeternum Cast renamed to Multiversal Characters
Blessed Inversion Inhibitors Logo Update
With Chapter 8 of Blessed Inversion Inhibitors released the team has been reborn. So to fit their rebirth and the whole Season 2 vibe, they’re getting a revamped logo to let them stand on their own two feet instead of having hints of Blessed Inversion Golden Age tossed in
  Original Emblem
New Emblem
A special shout-out goes to Sixth Saint Masamune for helping me with redesigning the logo into it’s new more unique form. Now it changes the font from the default and also removes the icy lettering which was a rather unnecessary reference to Black Ice and Blessed Inversion Golden Age. A relic of the original series concept.
Quality of Life Thumbnail Update
To make the thumbnails flow better, I’ve decided to remodel all of them to somewhat emulate the Screenshots design with the addition of the chapter number being visible in the corner. They will be added over the next day or so so keep an eye out! (Sidenote, the date of posts being published has been removed from the front page. With me being consistent with updates it’s not entirely necessary)
Old Aetherius Saga Thumbnail
New Aetherius Saga Thumbnail
Ideally, this will make everything look better on the front page and keep the thumbnail posts at least somewhat uniform.
Pride Month 2018
It’s that time of year again when you let that rainbow colored flag fly majestically like Spawn’s cape…just…anywhere. That thing just doesn’t have a non-majestic mode. Anyway, this time I’m prepared to properly rep the rainbows like I should. Last time I decided to reveal some of the present non-straight characters I had and also added the LGBT/LGBTQ tag. Not super big or even all that impressive. So what will I do this time?
New Rainbow Themed Banner for the month
Pride Month variant thumbnails for a number of series you can take a gander at some of them below 
The LGBT/LGBTQ Round-up 2.0. This time with more in-depth details about each character instead of just essentially outing them.
Metatron (Black Valkyrie/Bisexual ⚥⚥)
The Half-Valkyrie/Half-Reaper star of Black Valkyrie treads the middle ground. Part due to the fact that while both Reapers and Valkyries are physically capable of feeling love, physical attraction, and the act of love-making. Only Grigori was granted that ability through Loki’s magic. Being the result of that, Metatron has no grasp or concern with it being a man or woman. Though he is unlikely to stay longterm with either.
Cerise the Just (Aetherius Saga/Lesbian ⚢)
The Elven Sage of Nature and best friend of Jon the Compassionate prefers to keep her same-sex attractions to herself. While elven culture has no objection to it, her well-known position as one of the Seven Sages does make it somewhat problematic. A number of kingdoms have starkly negative views on homosexuality and being open about it could spark needly conflict against her kingdom. Her objectivity winning over emotion and forcing her to live a life of solitude.
Jon the Compassionate (Aetherius Saga/Gay ⚣)
The Sage of Water and main character of Aetherius Saga is in a somewhat more…problematic position than Cerise. While Jon was born a Mage he was raised as a Highlander. Mages frown upon homosexuality in any form while Highlanders are somewhat more tolerant. Unfortunately for Jon, they see it as shameful to be the receiving partner and look down on them intensely. Seeing them as no longer being men. Added in with his less than ideal youth on the Isle of Caldra and Jon largely keeps it to himself. Choosing to only share with those he trusts or to wander before it can be discovered.
Ly’ Jug the Merciful (Aetherius Saga/Bisexual ⚥⚥)
The Werewolf Envoy for Ly’ Enchina and Sage of Ice is another special case being the only Sage open about his orientation. His position as both Sage, Werewolf, and the envoy responsible for creating a somewhat stable peace between two Kingdoms providing him with multiple layers of protection. He’s survived numerous failed assassination attempts and has earned their begrudging respect. Though they may speak behind his back, none dare to question his preferences at the risk of starting a war.
Silver of the Aether Lance (Aetherius Saga/Gay ⚣)
Member of the Eternals Guild and husband to Slash the Bloodvain, Silver is a skilled Elven lancer. Elves are all about freedom so his relationships were never once brought into question.
Slash the Bloodvain (Aetherius Saga/Gay ⚣)
Leader of the Eternals Guild and husband to Silver of the Aether Lance. As a Dhampir, Slash (or rather Amyerain of Crystopa) was born in the Kingdom of Celestia. Vampires being largely sexual creatures don’t care what gender you end up with or even if you’re just using them for food. Were it not for Jon protecting him on the Isle of Caldra, his life might’ve turned out far differently. But since it didn’t, he’s now happily married and leader of a well respected Guild.
Storm the Red (Aetherius Saga/Bisexual ⚥⚥)
Leader of the Redmail Guild, Storm is a silly character. He’s full of himself to the point of being delusional. He does actually have skills, one of which is being quite the romantic. Though his haughty personality has led to his romantic ventures being resounding failures…
Tal of Jova (Aetherius Saga/Gay ⚣)
The Trelzan Ninja Assassin of the Eternals is fittingly another gay character. Like the Elves, Trelza don’t care about one’s orientation so it was never a particular issue for him. As a Ninja, it was often used as a tool for retrieving information from special targets.
Black Ice/Henry “Hal” Sharp (Blessed Inversion Golden Age/Bisexual ⚥⚥)
Black Ice returns to Pride Month as the star of Blessed Inversion Golden Age. He is one of my more openly active daters throughout my series and has had a number of romances in the past. Though so far only three have appeared. Despite his openness with a lot of things, Hal remains closeted though he wishes he had the option to be more open about his current relationship with Jey.
Construct/Rory Tymchyshyn (Blessed Inversion Inhibitors/Gay ⚣)
Construct is one I always planned to be gay but never actually got a chance to do anything with it. Perhaps in future appearances should they happen it’ll play a factor…
Reflex/Naegi Jun (Blessed Inversion Inhibitors/Lesbian ⚢)
Reflex is one I intentionally didn’t make her orientation public knowledge. Besides being the late 90s when it was still fairly unsafe to be out and proud, it wasn’t in her personality to share such things. Before having to take up the mantle as leader of the Inhibitors, she was always a fairly serious person. But now that she’s opening up and being looser in her leadership, she may bring up her feelings…
Soul/Ji II “Jey” Connors (Blessed Inversion Soul/Gay ⚣)
Jey was one of the characters who was created with his orientation being in mind. Though in this case, it happened to evolve into him dating the main character. While Hal has more desire to be open about their relationship, Jey is the one who primarily tries to keep it a secret. Being the primary strain between the two though it’s something neither can really change.
Surge/Daniel Preston (Blessed Inversion Golden Age/Gay ⚣)
Hal’s ex-boyfriend and now a member of Biohazard’s mafia. He’s a self-centered sadist without a good bone in his body. One must wonder what Hal saw in him in the first place…
Kim Park (Center of Crisis/Gay ⚣)
Unlike the rest of the people on this list, Kim is open about his orientation without fear of it backfiring in some way. Though unlike the others, the focus on his Olympic career has greatly cut into romantic ventures. Though he’d prefer strictly physical arrangements regardless. Not that it matters with Kaiju attacking…
There are other LGBT characters on the way and some who are still undecided. Either way, all will be handled like the living things they are and not just a checkbox.
Novel Update!
Been awhile since I talked about novels. But I’m here to officially announce the pending title for Blessed Inversion Volume 1: Rise of the Pheromaster! Simply put, it’s the novelization of Blessed Inversion Season 1. It’ll include the following
Blessed Inversion Prologue
Blessed Inversion Golden Age Chapter 1-5
Blessed Inversion Inhibitors Chapter 1-7
Blessed Inversion SWAT Chapter 1-8
Blessed Inversion Rise of the Pheromaster Event
All of the above will be put in chronological order. But why would you buy this when you have the free version here? Well besides it being a means to support me and keep me writing the content you hopefully enjoy there will be some fun perks to make it different but not force you to only buy it.
Extended scenes
Being a book and not constrained by me trying to make it conveniently sized for an audience on the go, some scenes will get extra/slightly altered dialogue.
Additional scenes
Since chapters don’t have to end like episodes and due to being put in chronological order, there will be some more segway scenes to connect them.
Extra details
Naturally, beyond the additional and extended scenes, there will be extra details and descriptions given to previous scenes to paint an even more vibrant picture.
Together, these additions should be enough to make it stand on its own but not take away from the free version. Kind of like the Gundam Compilation Films. I’m working hard on it now and when it’s done I hope you’ll be able to check out and enjoy the final product! I will say this now, I won’t be stopping making content for my other series. This new idea I have will take time and hopefully will be out by the end of the year. But you might see an increase in other articles or things like Profiles & Design Notes pop up.
That’s it for this update. Hopefully, you enjoyed the fun facts and are excited for the new novel idea! Happy Pride Month and thanks for dropping by!
  Time for an extra special Update post for both my next project and Pride Month! Time for another set of updates so let's get down to it. Updated Toolbar A rather minor one but I've updated the main toolbar for ease of access …
