After Eddie’s Tiktok circulates and everybody see Nancy’s text about Steve staying at her house, people start (jokingly, mostly) calling her a harlot for trying to steal his husband.
Nancy responds by tweeting a picture of her, Steve, and (surprise!) Jonathan since Jon’s in town for work. They’re all in her bed and in their pajamas. There are snacks and they’re getting ready to watch a movie. All three of them are doing peace signs because they are bisexuals.
She captions the picture with “Ms Steal-yo-man” and tags Corroded Coffin and Argyle.
Eddie responds with a tweet from the Official Corroded Coffin twitter account like, “This is exactly what everybody thought was going on in high school.”

Dreams and Hallucinations- Stephen Strange
Authors Note: This probably could be read as a standalone? Also maybe not? PART ONE IS HERE : CRASHES AND SORROWS 
Warnings: Reader is dead- Angst- Sexual content if you squint- Wanda 
Word Count: 1609
Description: Stephen still remembers you
Tumblr media
There is a scream that he hears every night, every day, every waking moment in his mind. It sits there, playing over and over, a face flashing in this scream, a sweet smile that he once knew turned into a scream of pain as he sees glass explode and her face disappears from his line of sight. 
He has replayed that final conversation with you everyday. He replayed his memories with him until they began changing, your face changing into one of pain in every memory. 
He thought of you as he found himself again. He imagined you when he finally took up the sorcery, looking at his wedding ring he refused to remove. 
It was different now, looking at his hand. He remembered how you used to kiss his hands, starting from his fingertips to his palms, the ring glinted as his hand was washed and the skin there untouched. Surgeon's hands. Now his hands were gnarly and broken, the ring a stark contrast on the skin there that would pull a sob from him in the safety of his own room. It’s what he deserved. 
He had lost you, sure, but Stephen Strange refused to let go. He would rather have a ghost of a memory haunt him, than forget your face.
And haunt him it did. 
Your screams, your breathing, your scent to your voice were in his mind all day through the night. Stephen Strange wasn’t breathing properly without your memory with him. 
Then the hallucinations started. 
The first incident came after a harsh fight, he was sitting on the bathroom floor bleeding and doing his best to stay together. The lights were harsh against his eyes and he was sure he was about to close them and never open them again, but then you were there. 
“That’s not where you sleep silly.” Your voice lilts, and his eyes are snapping home to be met with the lights turned off, and you standing in the bathroom door. 
He was crawling to you within moments, desperate to feel your skin against his and hold you like he used to, your name falling from his tongue like a prayer over and over. You laughed as his face dug into your abdomen, sinking down to the floor with him as he sobbed  into your skin, the fabric of your dress bunched into his fists as he clung to you. 
You had cleaned up his wounds that night, humming to him like you used to, and he kept his hands on you, refusing to let go. He doesn’t remember when he fell asleep that night, but when he wakes up he was in the same position as he was when he originally got home, the lights were still on and you were nowhere to be found, his wounds uncleaned. 
You became a figment of his imagination every night after that, him picturing you and you not actually existing. Each morning he would wake up to the immense disappointment that you weren’t actually there, dreams and hallucinations. 
He would be lying if he said he didn’t think of you when he met the girl that could travel realities , that he nearly didn’t get on his knees to beg for her to take him home, to take him to you. 
The truth about Wanda came out and he was now working in overdrive to protect this child from her grasp, he was also trying to make it seem like he wasn’t looking for you every step of the way. 
It seemed that every universe that America Chavez had visited was the same story, you had died in that crash and he never had a chance, and the girl seemed to recognize the thought in him to the point where she commented on it at the illuminati. 
“You know what’s odd?” She asks, looking at him from her cell. He merely hums his response, looking for a way out. 
“Every version I have met for you has been desperate for her. It’s almost like there is no Stephen Strange without her.” She says softly and he finds his head whipping towards her in an exposed hurt that led to rage. 
“There isn’t. There isn’t any universe where I will not need or love her.” And that was that. America nodded, an understanding in her eyes that had his spine locking up. 
She had to have known he killed her, there must have been one Stephen out there to tell her. “You’ve never met her?”
“No. Never.”
Once again, that was that. 
He was sweaty and hurt, Christine running beside him as he kept America in front of him. So close, they were so close to the book of enchantee, he could taste the safety. He had just dropped the river into the tunnels and made it to the door, only to find his spells would not open it. 
“It must be something only I know….”  He muttered, both females watching him closely as he stared at it, blood thrumming under his skin. Wanda would catch up if he didn’t act fast. 
“Stephen, it’s as you said….”America whispered, eyes wide. “There is no Stephen Strange without Y/N.” 
Then it clicked, the answer was on his hand all along. Slipping the ring off with shaky hands and slipping it into the lock, a sigh of relief as the door swung open and revealed the world beyond. 
Before he could retrieve the ring the gravity of the fold beyond was pulling him in, dragging him away from the last thing he had from his marriage, and he struggled against the pull until he saw America and he knew he had to straighten up. 
His feet hit the floor and the book was just within reach when he was hit. A red blast had him flying across the glass as the book burned and he looked to see America being held by Wanda. 
“Consider this……”She seethed, a wild look in her eyes as America gasped in pain. “One last mercy…..for someone who I considered my friend.”
And then he was flying through the universes beyond, his body fighting the pain and sending him home. 
He awoke with a gasp, sweat sticking to his skin as wiped his face, willing the nightmare to go away. A panic attack taking control of his body. 
It wasn’t until a hand slid across his chest and a kiss laid upon his shoulder that he was able to relax and catch his breath, hearing the soft humming of his lover and letting his senses relax into her. “Stephen….Come back to me baby.”
Her voice was a soft whisper, but he heard it all like it was being screamed at him. You were here…..He turns slowly, eyes watering as he looks at you, trying to figure out of you were real or not. 
“Stephen……”You breathe out, a sad look laid upon your features as you see his desperate tears falling, he doesn’t waste time in grabbing the back of your neck and pulling you in for a searing kiss. It took a small amount of maneuvering, but within moments he had you in his lap with his arm tightened around you as if you would disappear from his arms. He refused the thought, he would never let you go.  
He kissed anywhere he could reach, going down your neck to your shoulders to your cheeks and back to your lips, sloppy and desperate and pained. And you gave him everything back, giggling at your lovers antics. 
“Y/N baby, I am so sorry.” He sobs, one hand clenched in your hair, fisting it to keep you there, just to feel everything about you. “I am so fucking sorry.”
You brought his other hand up to kiss softly, confused and worried on what was wrong with him. “It’s okay baby. There isn’t anything to be sorry about-”
Then he sees it, watching as you kiss his fingertips to his palm, and although his heart stopped at having you with him again reality set in. His hands were unscarred and the ring was still placed on his left hand.
A sob left his body as he stared at you, and you had no clue what to do. Pressing yourself as close to him as possible as the sunlight begins to peek into the room, you begin to kiss his bare chest and nip at his sensitive spots, a bubbly moan falling from his lips as the tears kept falling. 
“Y/n……”
“Yeah?”
“I need you to….. I need you to listen to me…..” He whispers, throat tight as he struggles to let go of you, hands still gripping at you. “I need you to stay alive.”
“What do you mean?” You whisper, eyes watering at your lover's distress. He merely brings your forehead to his and breathes out, kissing your lips softly. 
“I need you in this universe. I need you to be with me at least one. And I need you to know that I love you in every fucking universe. Okay? I love you.” He mumbles, his body fizzing out as reality takes him. Wanda was smart, but Stephen was smarter.  “I’m sorry…. I’m so fucking sorry.”
He’s sobbing when he comes to, surrounded by gray and misery, the feeling of your skin still imprinted on his own as he finds himself kneeling in water. 
“STEPHEN?! ARE YOU OKAY?!” Christine yells, slapping him slightly. “God you’ve been kneeling here and not moving for a while.”
“She was there…..she was real.” He whispers, hands coiling to his chest. “I had her. She was right there…..”

What is and what could never be
Summary: Peter explores this new world, and find that it surpasses everything he ever dreamed about.
Previous parts: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, 
Tumblr media
Chapter 3: New life
What awaited him once he reached the kitchen truly was a sight to behold. His sisters were both sitting in their usual spots, eagerly waiting for the food to arrive while his mom was quietly humming to herself as she poured the final batter into the pan. Peter quietly sat at the table, observing the piles of food that were already there. There were sausages, eggs, toast, and a growing pile of pancakes.
He hadn’t had a celebration this big since Wanda had died, so it wasn’t really his fault that his mouth moved quicker than he could stop it. “What’s the occasion?”
Lorna let out a giggle as his mom frowned at him. “What do you mean? It’s your birthday, of course.”
Magda put down the final plate of pancakes on the table and wiped her hands on a clean towel. “Now we just have to wait for your father. He should have been here fifteen minutes ago.”
His father? That might get confusing, his mom had had a few boyfriends over the years, some great and some... not so great. But he’d never really considered them as his father. A thought crossed Peter’s mind, one that would be ridiculous in any other place. But here, where his twin was alive, where they still used their birth names, where his younger sister still visited and his mom was happy, it might just be real.
“I’m home!” Came a voice as the door opened. Peter watched in astonishment as Erik kissed his mother on the cheek and handed her a grocery bag. “Sorry for the delay, I couldn’t begin to tell you how much traffic there was.”
“That’s fine,” she assured him as she stored the bag in the fridge. “Now, has everyone washed their hands?”
“I didn’t,” Peter quickly answered. “I’ll go.”
He sped to the bathroom and stared at his reflection again. Nothing made sense, Erik hadn’t stayed, hell, he wasn’t even aware that he had a son. Peter observed his arms and his face more closely. Sure enough, the scars from Jean’s attack were gone. But what did it mean? Was this a parallel universe? One where his father had never left and where Wanda hadn’t been plunged into an endless void of depression and panic until her powers had consumed her? How did he get there in the first place?
The speedster gripped the sink tightly as confusion settled in him. It’s not that he didn’t want it, but it was too much. He'd been living with his grief for nearly ten years now and he didn’t know what to do without it.
A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts. “Pie? Are you okay?”
It took a moment to register how Wanda knew something was wrong, but Peter smiled when he understood. Their connection was back. That sweet, comforting link he shared with his twin had mended itself. He could feel her worry, and she had probably sensed his anxiety.
He opened the door to see Wanda observing him, trying to see exactly what was wrong with him. Her long brown hair had a bit of static in it, a classic with her mess of hair. Her brown eyes, just a shade lighter than his, were scanning his face just like he was doing. This Wanda looked like his sister, she acted like her too, but he had to make sure. He couldn’t take another heartbreak.
“Do you remember...” he started, trying to find a suitable memory. Peter smiled when he found one. “When we decided that we would catch the stars to give them to mom?”
Wanda gave him a soft smile, a fond look in her eyes. “And then we realized that it was too far for us to reach and decided to catch fireflies instead? Of course, I do.”
The fact that this memory was still intact in whatever this place was made Peter’s chest flutter in joy. His sudden happiness seemed to reassure his twin, who extended a hand and led him back to the table.
Erik watched as they sat down. “Is everything alright?”
A squeeze of his sister’s hand let him know that she would answer the question. “Of course. Just twin stuff.”
The answer was vague at best, but Erik gave them a nod and Magda gave the go ahead to start eating. He cleared his plate twice and was on his way to get a third one before anyone had finished their first. For the sake of everyone else, Peter ate that plate slowly.
Erik took a sip of his coffee before smiling at them. “We’re so glad you were all able to come for the weekend, it’s not every day your twins turn 30.”
So, that meant that he had moved out, he probably had a job and a whole life he couldn’t remember at the moment.
“How are the kids?” Asked his mom.
Peter practically choked on his eggs because his mom had just asked him about his children. Him specifically. Did he have kids here? He hoped not. There was no way he could be a dad.
Probably picking up on his confusion, Erik raised an eyebrow at him. “I hope the school isn’t giving you too much trouble, I know they were reluctant to hire a mutant at first.”
Okay, so he was still a teacher. Albeit not at Charles’s school. That was fine, he could work with that. “Oh, you know, the usual. But can we not focus on that? It is the weekend after all.”
His dad chuckled at his demand. “Of course, I wouldn’t want to talk about my job in my off time as well.”
The discussion continued; Lorna told them about a boy she had met in one of her classes. This Marcos was apparently always there when she found herself in trouble. Peter shared a side glance with Wanda to confirm his thoughts, she nodded back with a grin. Then the conversation shifted to what his parents had been up to in the last few months since they had last seen each other.
Erik apparently still worked at a metal factory and his mom had, by some miracle, been able to switch her shifts with another nurse so she could stay the whole weekend without being called in. As she recalled the many patients she had assisted and told them the funny bits, Peter couldn’t help the fluttering feeling in his chest. Magda Maximoff was many things, but carefree wasn’t one of them. Not after the death of one of her children. Back home, his mom worked countless hours as a waitress, preferring to bury herself in work than face her grief. But here, she laughed freely, accompanied by Erik who sometimes completed her stories. His father’s eyes were wrinkled in joy, not grief, and there was a glint in his eyes that he’d never seen before.
This... universe, whatever this place was, had been much kinder to his family.
As soon as the meal was finished, they dismissed both him and Wanda downstairs so they could get everything ready for the night festivities. He played some arcade games, winning at first, but started losing the moment his sister became bored.
“Looks like you’re losing your touch,” she teased.
He turned around with a playful grin on his face. “Of course not, we both know the probabilities of it being me are tiny.”
Wanda pulled her tongue at him and motioned him to sit next to her. She then pointed to a picture on his desk. “I can’t believe you still have that photo; we both look horrible in it.”
While that was technically true, he didn’t really care, it was one of his favorite pictures of them. They were no more than ten years old; their clothes were a mess, and their faces weren’t much better. Their eyes and smiles were immensely wide due to the sugar rush from the Halloween candies they had just eaten. He could see his mom in the reflection of the hallway’s mirror, and funnily enough, Erik was at her side. That meant that his father had been in their life for a long time, forever perhaps?
“Wands?” She hummed in response. “I’m about to ask a really weird question, and I just need you to answer without judgment. Can you do that?”
His twin seemed unsure but nonetheless nodded. “Of course.”
Peter breathed in, trying to figure out how to form his question without sounding crazy. “Has Erik always been with us?”
She frowned with a half-smile on her lips, uncertain if he was joking. “What do you mean?”
“He’s always lived with us? Didn’t go on like a revenge spree or whatever?”
Wanda let out a worried giggle. “Yes, he’s always been here, he’s our father, where else would he be?”
Peter snorted at the irony. “You’d be surprised.”
So, Erik hadn’t hunted down Nazis, he’d stayed here to raise them. That meant that he didn’t have to spring in on the man and break the news. He tallied up his wins: his dad had always been there, his mom was happy, Wanda was alive, and Lorna still loved her family.
Yeah, he could definitely get used to that.

Comic-Con International 2022
Back after 2 years, lots of changes...
Wow, finally back IRL to comic-con. lots of changes. Since the last in-person Comic-Con in 2019, I have lost my job recently, there was this thing called COVID-19 that started to happen at the end of 2019 but didn't really hit everyone until around March of 2020, which is still going with a new variant every few months, If we knew then what we know, right? Oh yeah my best friend/brother from another mother, passed away. Todd and I have been friends since 5th or 6th grade, so let's just say a really long time. had started going to Comic-Con with my wife and me since 2010, after I begged him to fly out to San Diego and just experience it once, if he didn't like it, at least he had the experience of going that one time. There was only one time he wasn't able to out which was when a family member had passed away just a week before the week of SDCC. so I guess he liked it. He worked for the News Paper in my hometown in New Mexico, so word got out that he's been going to this Huge Comic Convention. And everyone in town pretty much wanted him to bring something back for them, and wouldn't you know it! He would take at least 3 days during the convention to spend on the vendor floor trying to make sure everyone that asked, got what they wanted, he made a list, just so he could make sure he had everyone taken care of before he flew back home. He was one of those guys that made sure to take tons of pictures of all the cool happenings, that was Comic-Con and made sure to edit and upload them on his Facebook for all to see. I posted as well, but nearly as much as Todd. Todd was what I liked to say, "Hobbs Famous".
This will be the first time going back to SDCC without him coming down to stay with us at my wife and my's house. No picking Todd up at the airport, no smart-assed remarks the instant We see Him at the airport, no more driving straight to In-n-Out, or Phil's BBQ after he landed. Todd came out so often to visit he considered our house his California "vacation home" he had his own room and bathroom while he was here. Todd passed away on Halloween 2021, and yes I am still in grieving mode, I don't really talk too much about him to people in person, because it just makes me upset.
Todd died from cancer, not from COVID, like so many others had done since 2019, I honestly don't think he ever had it.
So yes, we are still going to SDCC, since we got our passes in 2019, it would be a waste if we didn't go. Yes, it will be completely different this year, the restaurant we would make it a tradition to go to at least once during the week of Comic-Con, close during the time gap, no sharing experiences, with my best friend, no more being able to call him when I have a question, get advice, or even to just say hey.
I miss you, Todd I most likely always will. but I will try to keep your tradition of posting pictures on Facebook so others can experience the awesomeness that was/is Comic-Con.

[OOC: This is another long boi post. Let's do this, shall we?]
[After Cherry snagged Suicune from outside Opelucid, the pair had made their way back to the location of the party. As they walked (And flew) to the door of the bathroom, they heard a faint noise, but they could barely make out that it was... crying?
Cherry rushed to the door, and began violently shaking the knob, much to Suicune and several humans' chagrin. Even further distressing them, she used Dragon Rush to ram the door open after realizing that just opening it wouldn't work. When she saw who was there, both she and Suicune were stunned.
In the bathroom laid Guy, who was too shocked from Cherry's abrupt entrance to continue crying, at least for the time being. His costume was a wreck. While it wasn't torn, the wrinkles and folds now in the suit said that that wasn't from a lack of trying, and it appeared that Guy had thrown the mask into the bathtub as well.
Guy's fur was a much darker blue than it had been up to that point, and his Miltank-lick that was once Dewott colored was nearly pitch-black. While he had left his helm outside in some bushes, his seamitars and the midsection of his tail were also a dark-blue, with the former containing that same stripe as before.]
Tumblr media
...
..."Full... Cowling?"
[Guy tried as hard as Arceus would allow him to fake a smile, but Cherry and Suicune weren't buying it.
Cherry grabbed Guy's hand, practically yanking him upright.]
Tumblr media
TELL US.
Tumblr media
!???
Tumblr media
You know exactly what I'm talking about! Cooper told us everything!...
Tumblr media
...What the FUCK, Guy!? Why didn't you tell us anything?!
[Guy was stunned. For the first time since they'd met, Cherry had actually used his real name. She was serious.]
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
If you really wanted to avoid this place, you could've just told me! I wouldn't have been upset!
Tumblr media
As a matter of fact, you've never told us jack shit about ANYTHING. What is your problem-
Tumblr media
I'M MY PROBLEM, OKAY?!
Tumblr media
...
[Guy began screaming at both her and Suicune.]
Tumblr media
My life has been a living HELL since I evolved! I was borderline paralyzed for nearly a month because I didn't know HOW to move as a Samurott, I run into YOU a while after that. And because I'm a stupid loser desperate for friends, I did EVERYTHING in my power to make sure you stayed at my side, just short of flat-out STALKING YOU! But because I wasn't upfront about it, you just disappear for basically half a year! After that, I met YOU, Mx. Suicune, but before that, I basically had a heart attack because I can't stand humans!
Tumblr media
And why is that?
I can't remember! As far as I'm aware, I'm just a coward that can't stand being around people! Whatever the reason, I will bet my BOTTOM POKEDOLLAR that it's something as brain-dead, pants-on-head moronic as the rest of me!
And the one person I COULD go to regardless of how badly crap hit the fan, THEY died! YEARS AGO, and I'm STILL not over it! For the longest time, it was just me and Shayla, and after they got involved in their own BS, it was just me!
Tumblr media
And I was so desperate to make friends, I forgot to keep up with my training! I'm damn-near USELESS on this mess of a team!
Tumblr media
Admit it, you two HATE me! It's fine, I'm used to it. Just say it so we can get this over with!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Cherry and Suicune remained speechless.]
Tumblr media
Then the stupid, I don't even know what- Stupid 'aura' thing that's happening! Like I needed literally ANYTHING ELSE I needed to worry about!
Tumblr media
Then I turned to a burden you LITERALLY had to carry on your backs for two days because I'm so freaking USELESS, I can't even stand on my own four clumsy feet without help!
Tumblr media
THEN THIS ARC-FORBIDDEN PARTY HAPPENED.
Literally, day TWO, I have another heart attack-whatever, and I hide in here for nearly a full DAY, and force YOU dudes to look for me, instead of not being a damned coward and coming out myself, because I was scared of what you two were gonna say to me!
Tumblr media
I AM SICK of being seen as a liability!...
Tumblr media
...So I think it'd be be better for all of us... if you didn't see me at all.
[Guy's breathing became very shaky and winded, which slowly turned into sobbing, and he turned around so that he wasn't facing them anymore.]
Tumblr media
Please... For your sake and mine... Just leave. Before I get someone hurt.
Tumblr media
...
[Cherry reached for Guy's paw again, turning him around.]
Tumblr media
Guy, you DUMBASS!
Tumblr media
?
Tumblr media
I would've NEVER ditched you, and I really enjoy being around you, I really do! Suicune can vouch for me, too! And himself!
[The Suicune nodded slowly.]
Tumblr media
Again, just tell us next time if something's wrong, dude! You had us worried sick! You're not a burden, at least not as much as you're making yourself to out to be. Even if you WERE, it's worth it to stay with you.
Tumblr media
As... problematic, as your situation has been, for everyone involved,
Tumblr media
you're a really cool dude to be around!
[Guy remained quiet, unable to say anything that wouldn't sound like incoherent nonsense. But his face said it all; He was glad to have folks like her and Suicune to call friends.
After Cherry Suicune grabbed Guy's belongings, the three of them slowly made their way out of the bathroom...
...only for there to be a human in front of them, presumably a Trainer.]

Falling Asleep on Them Headcanons
Lucifer
So you were in trouble right?
Yup, you aren't even sure what you did this time.
But here you were.
In Lucifer's room.
Getting a talking-to that's been going on for like 3 hours now.
At this point you were sitting beside Lucifer on his bed.
Kinda looking towards him, but not really paying attention.
But he just kept going on and on.
Eventually you started to get really sleepy.
Ah that's right, you were in trouble for staying out so late...
You tried to fight the drowsiness fearing you'd just get in trouble again.
That didn't work so well.
Soon you were slumped over, fast asleep.
Lucifer felt your weight on him and he knew immediately you had fallen asleep.
That may or may not have been part of his plan.
To be fair, he originally was just going to give you one of his extensive speeches about following the rules.
But once he saw you were barely staying awake, he decided to take advantage of it.
Can you blame him?
You look so adorable when you sleep.
Just don't be alarmed when you wake up tomorrow in Lucifer's bed all snuggled up in his sheets.
Mammon
He was over at your room.
Again.
You were watching a compilation of the best Lord of Fools moments from the TSL anime.
Mammon was crying, but that's besides the point.
You held on to his arm in order to comfort him.
"I-I'm fine, ya dummy! Ya think the great Mammon needs someone to hold him??"
You managed to convince him it was for you instead of him, so he let it slide.
Not that that was something difficult for him to do.
The warmth that radiated off of him was calming, so calming infact, that you couldn't help snuggling into his side even more and drifting off to sleep.
At first when he noticed, Mammon nearly freaked out.
"W-Wha' do ya think your doin'?!"
But upon confirming that you really were asleep.
And since no one else was around.
He let his true feelings show.
He gently moved your hair from your face as he gazed upon you lovingly.
The position might have not been comfortable for either of you, but he didn't dare move for fear of waking you.
He didn't want the moment to end.
Leviathan
You were watching an anime from the human world.
The original Dragon Ball.
You wanted to show it to Levi because you thought he'd enjoy it's quirky humor.
But you didn't have the same magical energy that "Master Otaku Leviathan" had.
You really couldn't stay up all night as much as you tried.
It was well after midnight when your head fell on his shoulder.
You fell asleep without meaning to.
To say that Levi nearly died would be an understatement.
What was happening?
What were you doing?
This sorta thing only happens in animes!
And not to guys like him!
Right?
Yeah, if you woke up you'd probably be upset at him for allowing this...
B-but maybe not?
Levi was happy, scared, excited and mortified all at the same time.
He tensed up so bad that he was in more muscle pain than you when you woke up.
Satan
So this was a pretty usual occurrence actually.
Whenever you would read together, all cuddled up, it often ended with you falling asleep with your head on his chest.
Depending on the book (like if he knew you actually liked it) he'd stop reading and set the book aside.
He'd hold you and stare at you, mesmerized by the soothing rise and fall of your chest.
He'd stay wherever you were until you woke up, sometimes falling asleep himself.
But if couldn't sleep, he'd stroke your hair and enjoy the simplicity of your breathing.
Asmodeus
You were sharing a bath in Asmo's super cushy bathroom.
You were wearing bathing suits, something Asmo half-heartedly pouted about.
He was going off about style and devilgram drama.
As much as you wanted to listen to him.
Because he was undeniably cute when he was honestly passionate about something.
You were starting to feel incredibly sleepy.
Probably because Asmo had kept you up the entire night before.
Just doing each other's make up and gossiping. (Get out of that gutter, please.)
You were kinda worried you'd drown if you fell asleep in here, but you knew Asmo would keep you safe.
So you eventually gave in to sleep.
Asmo noticed when you sank a bit lower in the water.
"MC? Are you-- Ooh~ How adorable!!"
He tried to keep his squeals of delight as quiet as possible.
He failed.
Thankfully you were well an truly down for the count at this point.
He wanted to let you sleep so he could just watch your cute sleeping face.
But he didn't want your skin to get pruny and dry so he did his best to carry you back to his room without waking you.
You did wake up, but just slightly.
All he could make out from your slurred, half-awake talking was his name.
He could have died from the cuteness then and there.
Though, not gonna lie, he was really curious about whatever you could be dreaming about.
Pushing that thought aside (for now) he set you down on a towel which he had placed on his bed and, after getting dry, laid down beside you.
He couldn't help but stroke your face as he too drifted off to sleep with a smile.
Beelzebub
Okay, so you know how after you eat a lot you get really sleepy?
Well there was a big meal today, since Simeon showed up offering to cook Celestial realm food, and you jumped on the chance to stack your plate with heavenly goodies.
Through the meal, you were very aware of Beel eyeing your plate as he ate across from you.
You knew what he was thinking.
There was no way you could finish all that food.
And usually he would have been right.
You felt just about ready to burst.
But it wasn't every day you got to eat Simeon's cooking and, damnit, you were going to enjoy it!
It also didn't help that the way Beel kept hungrily eyeing your food made you all the more possessive over it.
It was your food!
And you were gonna eat it!
And that was a mistake.
You ate way too much and after your stomach ache went down all that was left was sleepiness.
And so that led to Beel checking up on you while you laid on your bed in receding pain.
He was reasonably worried after watching you eat much more food than you should physically be able to handle.
When he asked you how you felt you only responded with a groan and beckoned him over.
When he sat down on your bed, you placed your head in his lap.
Beel felt warmer than after eating a super spicy double cheeseburger from Hell's Kitchen.
So he happily let you sleep as he rubbed your back, hoping to help you feel better.
Belphegor
You honestly have no clue how you ended up falling asleep quicker than Belphie.
Well, you were pretty tired already from studying so much.
And your tutor did keep insisting on being a bad influence.
And when the person who's supposed to be helping you learn is purposely trying to lull you to sleep, going so far as to put his favorite cow patterned pillow under your head...
It's kinda hard to stay awake.
Belphie was really upfront about having no interest in studying, preferring to just cuddle and nap.
But when you persisted he "agreed" to help you study.
He knew sleep better than anyone, so putting you to sleep would be easy.
By the time you did fall asleep however, he hadn't expected to find your head on his arm rather than on his pillow.
Not that he was complaining.
He was definitely not complaining.
But now that he had you, he wasn't planning on letting go until he was no longer sleepy.
So if you don't like cuddling, you might want to get used to it.

Sharing is Caring
How [Midorya + Todoroki + Bakugou + Hawks] steal share food 
Tumblr media
A/N: I miss eating out but what can you do? Please, if possible for you, continue to stay inside as much as you can! I’m saying this bc the actions in these headcanons are not pandemic-friendly LOL Also, crack-ish? 
Tumblr media
Midoriya: 
Oh, what? This little angel can do no wrong, of course he would never take your food without asking and he rarely even asks for a bite of your food unless you offer it up. 
Always shares what his mom packed for the day as well as any other meal he has. 
Willingly eats the things you pick off your plate. You eat what he doesn’t like. A symbiotic relationship.  
Once you guys get to a comfortable part of your relationship he does do weird things in order to be closer to you. 
No matter what he uses the same soy sauce tray as you, even when there’s a perfectly good one right next to him. 
If you’re eating takeout and it’s a picnic or somewhere outside/inconvenient he will use the same chopstick as you. Just...you take a bite, pass the chopsticks, and go back and forth. 
Drinks from the same cup as you. Even if he’s pouring out a cup for everyone and pours a drink out for him too, he’ll drink from your cup and then once you guys are done with that you’ll both drink from his. 
He loves it whenever you guys do share food though!! It makes him [heart squeeze~] doing such a cutesy thing. He feels 100% more affectionate whenever this happens. 
He just likes being next to you. If you guys get street food and have to stab with the skewers into that tiny box or bag, it makes his day standing so close to you for a while. 
Of course, when he first did this he almost died every time because of the mental image of indirect kissing. 
Tumblr media
Todoroki: 
It’s already canon that he offers up his precious soba whenever his close friends are feeling down. 
Honestly such a baby boy. 
This food sparks joy in me? It must do the same for them as well! 
But once you guys get into the extremely comfortable part of your relationship the words “my food” and “their food” get erased from his vocabulary and is now completely replaced with “our food.” 
When you guys go to a restaurant, you’re that couple that sits in the same booth seat, side-to-side, instead of across from each other. 
He only orders one dish. The waiter will just stand there until Todoroki will be like, “We’ll order another if we’re still hungry.” 
If you’re getting takeout, he’ll order two dishes but when you get home you’re still going to be sitting as close as ever eating from the same plate.
As a result every meal you have will always involve him sitting by your side. 
The kind of person that never orders the same dish as you if you’re eating together. 
It happens so frequently that Fuyumi bought this big old bowl for you two to eat from whenever you visit Endeavor’s house. 
You guys are so lovey-dovey and roman -- 🤮 romant -- 🤮🤮 I can’t even say it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I mean it’s kinda economical, saving all this money sharing a meal.  
Like a dog when they see you eat without them. 
If you guys are having lunch and he ends up sitting on the opposite end of the table from you, one sound of you cracking apart your chopsticks will have him noooming over to your side to eat some too. 
Quite honestly, if you try to eat without him he will physically fight you to take at least one bite too. He’s just jumping over you while you’re protecting your food from him like a football player with the ball. 
[Aizawa: so...do any of you want to tell me how [Name] gave Todoroki a black eye? 
Everyone starts talking over each other all at once while you’re saying, “I accidentally elbowed him in the face BUT that was my melonpan though!!” and Todoroki’s saying, “Our melonpan.”] 
Kinda cute though because it becomes something you kind of just expect. He’ll buy like a boba, take a sip, and then immediately give it to your awaiting hands so you could taste. 
Tumblr media
Bakugou: 
The person you’re leeching food off of. 
He’s like, “FUCK off!” and “Get your own!” but we all know the truth 😊😊
Even tries to pass off his affections by saying that the portion you took from him doesn’t have the recommended nutritional balance so he gives you more meat/vegetables/rice to “even it out.” 
Sometimes he’ll even feed you straight from his chopsticks, just straight up shoving food in your mouth. He’ll be really aggressive and pushy but he’ll do it. 
If he wants your food, he’ll just gruffly say, “Give me that,” and snatch it. 
He anticipates you wanting to eat his food so even though he’s a spice fan he’ll tone it down for you when you steal some from him later in the day. 
[People will be like, “Wow he’s such a doting boyfriend.” 
And he’ll yell, “Mind your own shit! I don’t fucking feed [Name] all the time!” And then turn around to be like, “Here’s your napkin and I brought you utensils too.” sdfghkl] 
[He’ll refuse to give anyone else food, and he’ll say some BS like, “No one is eating this but me!” 
Kaminari is like, “but you’re sharing with [Name] right now!” 
Bakugou: what of it?] 
What if he lulls you into a false sense of security though. 
He’s been lowering the spice levels this entire time leading you to believe that you’re getting better at spice and your tolerance has gone up but one day he just suddenly spikes it with spice and nearly kills you. 
When you two cooked together you used to grab bites right in the middle of cooking and he told you off saying it was annoying but now he always calls you over to “taste test.” 
Tumblr media
Hawks: 
This bastard. 
Obviously he steals food from you all the time. 
He even strategizes how to steal food from you in the most efficient way possible. 
In more casual restaurants he’ll guide you to the seat that’s closer to the counter/bathroom/water dispenser and constantly asks you to go pick stuff up for him. That’s when he strikes. 
Gets one of his feathers to tap you on the side/behind so when you turn your head he starts shoveling food when you aren’t looking. 
Doesn’t wait for you when you go to the bathroom. You know this. He knows this. It’s survival of the fittest here. 
You get so nervous whenever you get delivery food because if Keigo gets to it first he’s going to eat your fries. 
Once he dipped his bare ass hands into your noodle dish and took the egg on top before you could stop him. 
Every time he convinces you to rock-paper-scissors him for the last piece even if it’s your food. 
Do y’all know that scene from Kung Fu Panda or Power Rangers where they move the last piece around the bowl and maneuvers it with the utensils so the other person can’t get it? If you’re a Pro-Hero too he’ll pull that shit on you. 
LIKE JUST LET ME EATTT. 
This is gross but he doesn’t even care if you licked something or put it in your mouth to “assert dominance” over it. He’ll just get you to spit it out like a mom bird. 
One time he came home early from patrol and found out that you were eating fried chicken without him so the two of you just stood there on opposite ends of the apartment with you staring at him like 👁️👄👁️. 
[Hawks: I thought you were bae-- 
You: Keigo-- 
Hawks:...turns out you’re just fam. ] 
He turns and goes back outside and goes get his own fried chicken and even gets himself a treat ice cream. Takes a picture and sends it to you and everything to gloat.

Ever since Cas came back and turned human, it would seem he’s stopped giving a shit about literally everything. When Dean noticed this new aspect of Cas’ colorful personality, he had made himself paranoid that Cas would suddenly start flirting with him on the regular now that his big confession was out in the open.
So while Dean was scared shitless, he was confusingly disappointed when Cas didn’t do that at all.
No. The first thing the ex-angel did after surviving another encounter with death was start a Shotgun war with Sam.
And no, not the bang bang kinda shotgun.
“Shotgun!” Cas practically bellowed down the corridor as the three of them were getting ready to get dinner.
“That’s not fair, Cas! I’m in the bathroom!” Sam complained through the closed door. Cas ignored him completely as he strode past and ducked into the passenger seat of the Impala. Dean, who had been desperately trying to stay out of this war, just gave Cas a sideways smile.
“Y’know, the rules are you can’t call shotgun until you actually see the car, Cas.” He told him, his lips tugging up in amusement and…just happiness that Cas was close.
“Until Sam demands to implement this rule, I will abuse his ignorance.” Cas replied, smiling softly. Once again, every time Cas won the passenger seat, Dean wanted to ask what was with his sudden obsession with it. It wasn’t like Cas hadn’t been stubborn enough to claim it before he became human. He wondered what changed, why Cas suddenly cared about seating arrangements. But, as he had been doing ever since they got Cas back (again), Dean bit his tongue. He didn’t want to overwhelm the newly human with the tsunami of questions he had.
Sam griped the entire way to the diner, grumbling about being squished even though Dean knew there was more than enough space. Cas sat next to Dean, watching the trees amble by with a serene, totally unaffected smile on his face. Pleased as a pickle. Dean was fighting his own internal battle between his burning questions and undying amusement at Sam’s plight.
At the diner, Cas sat next to Dean. That much was hardly anything new. The two just naturally gravitated towards each other, and after Dean caught himself drifting mindlessly towards Cas more times than he could count, he stopped giving him grief about personal space.
Cas’ thigh brushed up against his almost the entire meal. Dean pretended not to notice, but internally, he was melting into a puddle of bi panic.
In the parking lot, Sam was quick to call shotgun when Cas got distracted by their waitress catching up to him and giving him her phone number. Dean was too busy bristling and snapping at Cas to hurry up to even notice Sam was sitting next to him.
Cas sulked the entire ride home, the waitress’ number stuffed into one of his pockets. Dean tried not to think that maybe Cas was saving her number for another time.
On Saturday, it was Dean’s turn to go on a food run. Sam was busy working a ghoul case with Eileen, so when Cas wanted to come along there was no yelling match over the front. He ducked into the passenger seat and just about blinded Dean’s poor weak heart with a smile that crinkled his nose.
They fought over eggs for about twenty minutes in the diary aisle. Dean win by threatening to give Sam exclusive access to shotgun. Cas relented with a glower that could have smote demons if he still had his grace.
Eventually, Sam did implement the rule about only calling shotgun with the car in sight, and as the weeks went by and Dean’s silent journey is self realization unfolded, the war at escalated. Now, neither of them could call shotgun without all three of them being in sights of the car. It had gotten bad enough that Sam and Cas waited impatiently for Dean in the garage, staring expectantly for him to round the corner so they could have their yelling match.
Cas nearly blew Dean’s eardrums out, bellowing “SHOTGUN!” loud enough to drown out Sam. He angrily opened his mouth to argue when his phone started ringing.
“It’s Eileen.” He said, his back snapping straight and immediately answering the video call. “Hey, what’s up?”
“Can you give me a ride?” Dean could hear Eileen’s voice over the tinny speakers. “My car broke down and the nearest shop is two hours away.”
“Where are you?”
“An hour away from you? It was supposed to be a surprise.”
Dean saw Sam’s face soften, the tension of worry falling away. He butted in, sticking his face in view of the camera so Eileen could read his lips.
“Just tow it here. I can patch your ride.” He said. “Sam can take the tow truck.”
“Are you sure?” Eileen asked.
“Course. ‘Sides, those guys won’t give you a fair price anyway.” Dean flapped his hand dismissively.
“Thanks, Dean.” Eileen beamed, and oh, Dean knew that smile. Mischievous and damnit, she had planned this from the start, hadn’t she? Just to get a free repair out of him. Dean squinted suspiciously at her, and Eileen just wiggled her eyebrows.
“Cas and I can pick up the curse box and meet you two back here in a few hours.” Dean said. He saw Cas immediately brighten, having secured the passenger seat.
Cas was looking particularly triumphant as they drove, his knees rocking back and forth in a content, mindless sort of way. Finally, Dean couldn’t hold back the question anymore.
He had done his work accepting the fact that he wasn’t as straight as he thought, that it wasn’t very heterosexual to stare at Cas’ lips or pop an awkward boner seeing him all cleaned up after Purgatory, or completely shutting down every time he died or getting all prickly when waitresses give him her phone number. He was gay for Cas, and he had just gotten around to accepting this. Cas said he loved him, right? so Dean shouldn’t be afraid or rejection or anything. Yeah, no he was terrified.
“Hey, Cas?”
“Yes, Dean?” He turned to him with that soft smile that Dean wanted all to himself.
“I gotta ask, man,” Dean chuckled a little awkwardly and kept his eyes firmly on the road. “Why are you so determined about sitting shotgun? You’ve never been before.”
“Ah.” Cas hummed, turning back to the road too. “I suppose now I have the freedom to pursue the things I want. Chuck is gone and my deal with the Empty is null in void. I have time to…focus my attentions on other things.”
“The things you want? What, you got a better view up here or something?”
“Well yes, the windshield does allow more viewing space.” Cas agreed. “But it’s not my main goal in doing all this.”
“Then…what is?”
“Dean.” Cas said in that ever patient, you’re-being-dumb-about-this voice. “I enjoy being up here because it allows me to be closer to you. You are the view I most admire, Dean. I’m always so helplessly drawn to you.”
Dean’s mouth had gone a little dry and his grip on the wheel was suddenly sweaty. The silence that fell was deafening. Cas didn’t even look concerned. He just sat there waiting the road as if he hadn’t just said something so…so…soft to Dean.
Helplessly drawn. Like Cas couldn’t bear being away from him. Like Dean was this perfect, magnetic thing that Cas was enchanted by, something worth having around.
With a jerk of the wheel, Dean was pulling over on the side of the empty highway in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. He threw Baby into park before twisting around and staring at Cas.
He didn’t even look vaguely concerned, the fucker. He just gave Dean a patient look.
Dean opened his mouth, and closed it. Did it again, ready to tell Cas everything. Snapped his jaw shut.
Cas watched in cool amusement. Dean felt his cheeks get hot.
“Screw this.” He grumbled to himself, before lunging across the bench, grabbing Cas’ face with both hands, and kissing him square on the lips.
He felt Cas freeze for a moment, probably in total shock, before he started moving.
Dean nearly choked on a gasp as the chapped, warm lips started pushing and devouring, Cas was suddenly the one taking charge, shoving Dean back against his window as he clambered across the seats to get on top of him.
Twelve years of pent up emotions came crashing out in a sudden burst of unstoppable passion. And as soon as it started, it seemed to have stopped. They both were panting, Dean’s jeans were tight and his entire body screamed to have Cas against him again. But Cas had made to move away, putting space between him as he looked at Dean with wide eyes.
He didn’t get very far. Dean grabbed ahold of his jacket lapels and held on tight with an iron grip, keeping Cas hovering inches above him, basically sharing air.
“Wanna hear a secret?” He whispered between heavy breathes. Cas just blinked at him. “I’ve always rooted for you getting shotgun.”
Cas’ kiss swollen lips split into a dazzling smile, and he rewarded Dean with another intense make out session. When they pulled away, Dean found the words spilling out of his mouth.
“I love you too, Cas. You can have me. God, you have had me, for years you have. Can’t believe it took me so long, I’m sorry I made you think you couldn’t have me, I’m sorry it took me so long—“
Cas shut him up with another kiss, and Dean’s ramble faded into a helpless whimper that too was swallowed up by Cas.
“Does this mean I get exclusive shotgun privileges?” Cas asked a few hours later than they finally took the curse box off the poor shopkeeper’s hands. They had arrived nearly an hour late, not that Dean (or his dick for that matter) particularly cared.
“Honestly? Play it up to Sam and he might let you get away with it for a while.” Dean chuckled. Without even thinking too hard about it, his free hand slithered over the bench, grabbing Cas’ and entwining their fingers. Something so small and simple, yet made Dean light up like a sun.
If Cas didn’t manage to convince Sam, Dean sure as hell would.

i love the sadie fic sm THANK YOU!!!!!!!! and a part two doesnt sound too bad 🧐🧐🧐 that is if you arent busy! <3
as promised anon! i bring you apart two for your sadie fic. For anyone that is new, part one is here and i suggest reading that first. this one is a little shorter but i wanted a sweet and simple date this time around. And yes i did my research the word klutz was used in the early 1900's 😌😌
Tumblr media
-------------------------------------
“Get your ass up missy, the day’s gonna be over before you leave the bed.”
Sadie comes storming into your bedroom, a large grin on her face as she draws the curtains back with one hand. The other is holding her shotgun over her shoulder and her typical oversized brown coat and unkept shirt looks weirdly out of place in your polished bedroom that is littered with gold and white trim along the walls.
You covered the sun from your eyes, pulling the pillow over your face as you groaned from being woken up.
It had been a few months since you’d first met Sadie and she’s become something of a close friend. Okay you did occasionally sneak kisses and hold hands when no one was looking but to everyone else she was no more than a companion and bodyguard who’d been welcomed into your family estate.
She places the worn shotgun onto the wardrobe and comes to sit on the bed, prying the pillow from your fingers before smiling down at you. She leans down and gives you a soft kiss.
“Good morning.”
She pulls you up and shoves you into the bathroom, giggling and making fun of the amount of products you have for just your hair alone lying on the cabinet. You nearly trip on your night gown and tells you to get ready for the day while she waits in the garden for you.
You did your hair, waiting for one of the maids to help tie your corset and pull your petticoat over your head. Once you were fully dressed in a lighter, more casual summer dress you made your way to the garden. On the way you grabbed one of your hats, tying it under your chin as the door was opened for you.
The carriage was waiting for you with Sadie already waiting in the front seat beside the driver. She noticed you, smirking down before playfully addressing you.
“Where to Missy?”
“Why Blackwater of course— the tailor is finished with my new dress!”
Sadie hopped down, helping you get comfortable inside the carriage but as she went to leave again you grabbed her wrist.
“Sit in here with me, please?”
You gave her the biggest most innocent look you could muster, pouting as she laughed softly and shook her head.
“Now who’s gonna be guarding the carriage hmm? Wouldn’t want a doll like you getting damaged unlike last time.”
You gasped dramatically, holding your hands to your chest in mock offence.
“If I remember correctly the carriage tipped because of you Ms. Adler and it ended with mud all over my dress!”
You couldn’t stop the giggles that left you as Sadie rolled her eyes.
“All the more reason to be up the front and make sure nothing happens to that bodice of yours!”
Huffing, you slumped into the carriage chair as you called out to Sadie
“Fine. But you’re coming dress shopping with me.”
-
An hour later you were standing on the streets of Blackwater, your heels clanking along the pavement as the two of you scurried to see the tailor.
The bell rang as Sadie held the door for you and the tailor Mr. Kretzschmar perked up to greet you. He was a kind gentleman who always gave you extra discounts and added dresses as you were a regular customer to his service since you were young and considered you a dear friend. Often on your birthday an extravagant ball gown is delivered to your families estate.
“Hello Ma’am, it’s so lovely to see you back on such a fine day. Who is your companion?”
He gestured to Sadie who as staring at a teal blue dress hanging on a mannequin and grimaced at the thought of wearing such a thing.
“Oh this is Ms Sadie Adler, she’s a dear and close friend to me. She’s going to help me decided if the yellow or the lavender dress will suit next weeks dinner party.
Before Sadie could protest about having to watch you play dress up, you grabbed her arm and dragged her to one of the changing rooms which had been reserved for you.
“What’s wrong with the blue one you have at home?”
You rolled your eyes as you heard Sadie shuffle about and take a seat on the chair outside to the curtain. You fumbled for a minute, trying to pull your dress over your head but couldn’t manage to get the thing undone. You stumbled over your own feet for the second time today as you feel through the curtain and blushed as Sadie burst into laughter.
“For a lady you sure are a klutz sometimes— common I’ll help you with the yellow one first.”
Sadie lifted you from the floor, helping you untie the dress and putting the new yellow one over your fitted corset and petticoat. She fixed the ribbon in your hair and moved you to stand in front of the mirror as she stood behind you.
“There see? The yellow makes your eyes shine.”
She placed a soft kiss to your neck before you turned and shoved her out of the change room gently. Fussing over needing to see all your options, you were spoilt after all.
“Now get out! I want to try the lavender one.”
Sadie laughed, walking over to a wooden chair as she sat on it backwards with her hands holding her head. It was much more to her appeal than the plush ottoman in the room.
“Whatever you say Missy.”
Sadie’s playful tone died in her chest however when she saw you come out in the lavender dress. It looked beautiful on you and it took her breath away.
She stood from the chair, slowly inching towards you as she took in the sight of you. Eventually her hands landed on your waist, staring into your eyes as she pulled you close.
“Well I’ll be damned, never knew purple was your colour—“
“Its lavender—“
Sadie rolled her eyes again, laughing and bumping your noses together as her eyes trailed down to your lips. Your hands came to hold her jacket as she kissed you gently.
Your hand came to tangle in her hair and for a moment you were completely captured in her lips on yours and her hands protectively around your waist. That is until you heard someone cough awkwardly as if to get your attention.
Pulling away you tilt your head to see Mr.Kretzschmar holding the accessories that went along with the dress as well as a tape measure around his neck and a shoe box tucked under his arm.
“I hope I’m not interrupting something?”
Your dear friend gave you a soft but accepting smile as he placed the box down on onto the ottoman, nodding and turning to leave.
“I’ll leave you two alone for while, just call if you need anything.”
Before he could leave the both of you thanked him. Sadie gave him a silent nod which must have shown her appreciation while you on the other hand matched his generosity with words.
“Thank you Mr. Kretzschmar, I’ll have father invite you for dinner sometime.”
You watched as his face lit up, knowing that your father and him had been close friends. He was often eating dinner with your family, sometimes inviting his own and you certainly knew that your father supported his business. He left the room shortly after, leaving you and Sadie to giggle like you were children caught with too many lollies.
-
The two of you spent longer than you thought, trying on an array of different outfits and sharing kisses in between. You were however unsuccessful in getting Sadie to find a dress of her own but you always had more time to work her up to the thought of a corset and stockings.
Without wanting to ruin such a good day out with her, you left the tailor and visited the pictures. The movie was some silent film about long lost lovers but you weren’t really paying attention when your head was resting on Sadie’s shoulder and your hands were intertwined under the blanket of darkness in the room.
When you finally returned to your families estate, Sadie took your hand to help you down the stairs of the carriage, although this time she didn’t let your hand go.
“Stay for dinner?”
Sadie contemplated the thought for a moment before nodding softly and following you inside for a nice warm meal. She never thought she’d fall in love with a rich girl like you but once she met you she was smitten.
The whole night at dinner she held your hand under the table and looked to you for help at how to use the six different forks in front of her.

BRIGHT (2)
mind of mine masterlist
summary: you and jungkook share a moment in a bookstore. pairing: “badboy” jk x “shy/reserved” oc warnings: cursing, excessive use of pet names…bc its me
Tumblr media
“Oh, lighten up Jeon,” Yoongi rolls his eyes, “You look like someone told you that your cat died.”
“The only kitty he wants won’t give him the time of day,” Mina grins, earning herself a glare from Jungkook.
“More like I can't get her time of day because her stupid best friend has a stick up her ass,” Jungkook mutters.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you like this,” Mei observes, “Our baby tattoo artist pining over a girl…”
“If looks could kill, you’d be dead by now, Mei,” Yoongi says pointedly, “Now stop wasting time meddling in Jungkook’s love life, Jin will have all of our heads-”
“Love life? I don’t have a love life,” Jungkook protests, eyes adorably round.
“And that’s why you’re so broody today, honey,” Mina teases, “More so than usual at least.”
“I am not broody,” Jungkook grumbles, turning his back on his laughing coworkers and friends. He can’t help but smile at their teasing.
“Oh, lighten up, Kookie,” Mei says lightly, clapping his shoulder, “If it makes you feel any better, that girl couldn’t stop staring at you at Hobi’s birthday. And she definitely wants a piece of this.”
Jungkook ignores the raucous laughter of his friends (which only increases when Jin comes out from the backroom to add on to his suffering) and the reddening of his cheeks as he gets ready for his full day of tattoo consultations and appointments.
Tumblr media
Jungkook’s day ends about an hour earlier than he had anticipated- his last client for the day had to reschedule due to a last minute conflict. That’s fine by him. It gives him time to stop by the bookstore a few blocks away from the tattoo parlor before it closes.
Jungkook tries his best to read at least one new book a month. He’s known the older shop owner, Jia and her young son, Jae-sung, for years now, as he had basically grown up with Jia from childhood.
He loves the quiet of the store and the immediate scent of vanilla and cedar that surrounds him as soon as he walks in. The bookstore itself has a vintage sort of feel, with dimmed lights, old shelves of mahogany and candles placed throughout the store.
Jungkook always brings croissants from the bakery nearby for Jia and little Jae-sung. Usually when he comes by, the bookstore is empty (or close to it).
Jae-sung screeches when he sees Jungkook walk in the door and immediately runs up to him, hugging his legs. Jungkook crouches, ruffling his hair fondly and Jae-sung is nearly bouncing off of the heels of his feet.
“Mommy say she have new book for you, Kookie!” Jae-sung beams, eyeing the box of croissants in Jungkook’s free hand.
“Does she?” Jungkook muses, “Your mommy always knows what kind of books I like.”
“Me too! Me too!”
“Hey, Jungkook,” Jia’s voice filters through the store as she approaches, “It’s been a while.”
“It took me a while to finish the last book. But so worth it,” He says apologetically, “I also brought croissants. Enjoy.”
“You spoil us,” Jia rolls her eyes, “The new arrivals are in the back, third aisle from the left. You know the drill.”
Jia has known Jungkook since he was a baby in diapers- she’s been his aunt’s close friend for years and years now. Jungkook likes to joke that he likes Jia more than his own aunt, and Jia always reprimands him (without really meaning it).
He thought the bookstore was empty, save for Jia and Jae-sung. But he’s clearly mistaken, when he sees a figure in an olive green sweater and black jeans perusing through the new arrivals with their bottom lip tucked between their teeth in concentration.
He recognizes them immediately and when the person raises their head in curiosity, he sees your wide eyes and a shy smile starting to pull across your lips.
You’re here, in his favorite bookstore where he feels like he’s at home. If he was looking for a sign, then this was it.
“Hi,” You say softly, waving your fingers at him, “So you like reading, huh?”
You visibly cringe and Jungkook chuckles. Your cheeks feel warm when you take him in, swirls and dots of his tattoos peeking out of his black leather jacket and beckoning you closer to him. The three hoops in his left ear glint with the light and the dangling earring on his right ear dangles with the movement of his head. His hair is tied back into a ponytail, accentuating the curve of his jaw and his soft dimples.
Your breath is stolen away when you meet his eyes, deep brown and murky, popping against the peach eyeshadow on his eyelids.
You nearly swoon on the spot before you get your bearings. Maybe he’d catch you if your knees buckled, you think dryly. How embarrassing.
“I try reading something new once a month,” Jungkook replies, pulling you out of your reverie, “And I just like the bookstore in general. Sometimes I like to just come here and hang out with Jia and Jae-sung.”
“Oh! Jia makes my favorite lavender chamomile tea. There’s nothing like it,” You say a little dreamily, “Jae-sung is a cutie. That boy can just look at you and you’d be putty in his hands. Kinda like you.”
The last bit slips out of your mouth without you meaning for it to.
“Kinda like me, huh,” Jungkook smirks, eyes glittering, “It would be fun to see if you’d be putty in my hands, wouldn’t it?”
“The world may never know,” You mumble sheepishly and avoid his eyes again, “What kind of book are you looking for?”
“The one you’re holding, baby,” Jungkook murmurs, looking past your shoulder for another copy of the same book.
“Are you looking for this book just because I’m reading it or because you’ve been genuinely eyeing it?” You ask boldly, a hint of a smile playing on your lips.
“Oh, you’re funny,” Jungkook snorts, walking past you to grab the book off of the shelf.
“So I’ve been told,” Your eyes flash, “We should do a boozy book club.”
“Is it a book club if it’s just the two of us?”
“It can be whatever we want it to be,” You shrug, “Besides, don’t you wanna hang out with me?” You tilt your head and Jungkook’s resolve weakens. His heart does something funny- is this how it’s supposed to be?
“Of course I wanna hang out with you, baby,” Jungkook murmurs smoothly, “C’mon, let’s go have some of Jia’s tea. And a croissant too, if Jae hasn’t eaten them already.”
Tumblr media
Jungkook glares at Jia the entire time that she’s making tea for both of you. He knows her sly, curious eyes and was unable to keep the surprise off of her face when you had both walked down the stairs together.
She even had the audacity to wink at him. He hopes that the family groupchat doesn’t start blowing up when Jia inevitably informs his aunt and mother about this new development.
“Kookie,” Jae-sung whispers (loudly) when you step away to use the bathroom, “Is dat your girlfriend?”
“What?” Jungkook hisses, “Who told you that?”
“My mommy say I ask you! I not know!”
“No, Jae, that’s not my girlfriend,” Jungkook mumbles, shooting Jia another death glare. She only smiles smugly at him from her spot behind the counter.
Jia leaves him alone for the most part when you return and take your seat next to him. He can still feel her eyes on you both as she washes teacups, watching like a hawk.
“These croissants are so good,” You nearly moan, “Where’d you get them?”
“There’s a bakery near the tattoo parlor,” Jungkook says, “You should come by sometime.”
“The bakery or the parlor?”
“Both?”
“I’ve only been there a few times,” You muse, “I hear you’re the best tattoo artist there. From the mouth of Hobi and Jin themselves.”
“Don’t let Mina and Mei hear you say that,” Jungkook says weakly, rubbing the back of his neck. His cheeks are a little pink and you resist chuckling to yourself.
“I’ve always wanted to get a second piercing,” You trail off, “But never really committed to it.”
“What would you want to get? We do piercings, too,” Jungkook says.
“Cartilage? Industrial? I don’t know,” You shrug, sipping your tea.
“Mina usually has a good eye for that,” Jungkook admits, “Now you have more of a reason to stop by.”
“Oh, I already had a reason to stop by the parlor,” You say brazenly with a sweet smile.
“Is that so?” Jungkook says, quirking an eyebrow at you.
You hum and continue to sip your tea, wondering if he can somehow hear the loud rattling of your eager heart in your ribcage.
Tumblr media
Conversation with him comes so easily and you don’t know when the last time you had spent this long with him was. Something always seems to interrupt you both when you eventually do find yourselves alone with each other during outings with friends. But this time, it’s just you and him tucked away in this bookstore.
The sun has long gone down and Jia was about to close the bookstore for the day. In fact, the only reason she kept it open for this long was because of you both. You apologize profusely with worried eyes when you realize the time and see Jae-sung fast asleep in his mother’s arms.
She waves you off, giving Jungkook a lingering look that you don’t understand.
“I’ll be back soon,” You promise Jia in a soft voice, so as to not wake Jae-sung, “Be well, Jia.”
She bids you both goodnight, and unbeknownst to you, she shoots Jungkook a simple text. It states: “keep her close, i like her”.
Jungkook ignores it in favor of focusing on you.
Tumblr media
“How you getting home, baby?” Jungkook asks as you both walk up the block shoulder to shoulder.
“Hmm… I’m supposed to meet Sora for dinner but she said she’s stuck at work,” You murmur, wrapping your arms around yourself as you scroll on your phone, “But I was just on social media and it looks like she’s getting drinks with her other friends…”
You look at him with a frown tugging at your lips and your eyes wide. “Maybe it was a last minute thing,” You mumble to yourself.
“Or maybe she lied to you,” Jungkook says sharply. You only look at him in silence for a few moments with furrowed brows.
“Maybe there was a reason,” You shrug, “Why would she lie about that?”
Because she’s Sora, and she just would. But Jungkook stays silent. You don’t need to hear about how he dislikes your best friend, at least not yet. Not when you’re not ready to hear it.
“Forget about her,” Jungkook says easily, “Lemme take you home, baby.”
Tumblr media
“I’m not riding that metal death contraption,” You say flatly, “You just got it! Like two weeks ago! You don’t even have an extra helmet, and forget a helmet, I need elbow pads and knee pads-”
“Will you relax,” Jungkook says, putting your books in the small basket he built into the front of the motorcycle.
“No, I will not relax, Jeon Jungkook!” You nearly screech, “This is so dangerous, we could both fall in the road and then what? Become roadkill for the next soccer mom van to run us both over? Death by soccer mom, what a way to go-”
“Are you done?” Jungkook says dryly.
“No, actually, I’m not done-”
“You trust me, baby?” Jungkook asks, hand on your shoulder. You can’t even properly appreciate the warmth of his large hand over your jacket.
“Of course I trust you, I don’t trust that,” You point at the motorcycle accusingly and Jungkook rolls his eyes. You can already feel your resolve weakening. He wordlessly places his own helmet over your own head and you glare at him, about to start your tirade again.
“You take mine,” Jungkook murmurs, “And hold on to me.”
“You can’t just give me your helmet, what if you fall? Or worse, get pulled over?”
“Or worse, get pulled over, are you joking-”
“Jungkook! Be serious!”
“I am being serious! You said you only live ten minutes from here, just relax. I won’t let anything happen to either of us,” Jungkook says, tongue poking the inside of his cheek.
“If anything happens, it’s your head on a platter and I’m bringing it to the tattoo parlor.”
“How can you do that if we both die?”
“Shut the fuck up,” You say, but a laugh escapes your lips. Jungkook sits on his bike and looks at you expectantly.
“C’mon, baby,” Jungkook coaxes you and you awkwardly sit behind him, making sure that your legs don’t touch his and your arms are safely away from him.
“If you sit like that, you’ll definitely fall off,” Jungkook snorts, “Wrap your arms around me.”
You hesitate, afraid of touching him like this for whatever reason. He unnerves you and you feel completely exposed like this. You’ve never really been this close to anyone, at least anyone who made you feel the way Jungkook makes you feel.
Biting the bullet, you tensely wrap your arms around his narrow waist loosely. “Good girl,” Jungkook murmurs, “Tighter, baby. I don’t bite, unless you want me to.”
Your stomach flips at his words, subconsciously wrapping your arms around his narrow waist even more tightly. Your fingers graze the hard press of his tummy over his jacket and you almost moan at how warm and strong he feels. He smells nice, like Sunday morning laundry.
“Ugh, you’re annoying-” And then you shriek as he pulls away from the road and shoots off into the night with you plastered against his backside.
Tumblr media
“See that wasn’t so bad, was it?” Jungkook says, taking the helmet off of you. He’s met with a glare but you sigh in defeat.
“No, I guess it wasn’t. But I never want you driving this hunk of death without a helmet for yourself,” You say, poking his chest.
“You should be nicer to her,” Jungkook says, taking your finger in his large hand.
“You’re right, it’s you that I should be mean to,” You roll your eyes. You wonder if Jungkook could feel your heart slamming in your chest (in fear, adrenaline and excitement) as you hung tight to him. You had refused to look up, pressing your face into his back and squeezing your eyes shut the entire way. Jungkook had only chuckled.
The heat in your eyes melts away quickly once Jungkook helps you off of the motorcycle. “Thanks for taking me home, Jungkook,” You murmur, “I’m glad I ran into you at the bookstore.”
“Any time, baby,” Jungkook says. A strand of dark hair falls from his ponytail and into his face. You reach your fingers up to thread through his hair before pushing it back behind his ear for him.
“Get home safe,” You say, with stars in your eyes, “Can I hug you?” When he nods, and before you can change your mind or convince yourself out of it, you wrap your arms around him. And before he can properly return it, you dash into your apartment building while calling out “text me when you get home!”
Hours later, when he’s in the comfort of his home, he decides that he likes the way your spicy vanilla scented perfume clings to his leather jacket.

It was awkward at first, which isn’t much of a surprise to Steve. This is a whole new world for him-  how would he ever even go about dating or flirting with guys, least of all Billy Hargrove. Girls he understood, flowers and chocolate and driving them to the mall and carrying their shopping bags, classic textbook stuff that he’s actually quite good at if he had to say so himself.
Hi was all he managed to write to Billy.
Hey ;) was the response.
Nerve wracking, dizzying, nauseating. It left him a mess for that entire weekend, making him incapable of ever even responding to any of his other matches on the apps, because he couldn’t stop thinking about Billy fucking Hargrove. Yet he also didn’t know where to go from there, and when Billy didn’t see it fit to send him a second message, it just died out right then and there.
But there was no relief, no Oh thank God that he wouldn’t have to even try and find out what it’s like with Billy- what sex is like with Billy. Yet the thought of it stayed. Every night, morning, day. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, all ruined by a crown of golden curls, broad shoulders, his musky stench, that ugly tattoo… It doesn’t make any sense to him still, but now whenever he thinks about how firm and strong Billy was, bumping up against him on the court, the way he almost admired Steve in the showers right before calling him a pretty boy, and his voice when he said it… it’s all too vivid now. Whenever there was a moment for it, his idle hands would slowly find their way past the border of his briefs, but after only a few strokes of his half chub he’d pull back with a loud and exasperated sigh.
Come Monday morning and he’s sitting in his car, hands gripping too tight around the steering wheel, students flocking to the front doors of Hawkins High. Yet somehow through the mess of reluctant teens, Steve still manages to spot Billy without even really thinking about it, like a gorgeous needle in a hormonal haystack, jeans clinging to his sculpted ass, the fabric around his thighs looking about ready to tear-
Steve shuts his eyes, squeezing till it becomes uncomfortable in an attempt to forget that he knows what Billy looks like naked; how freckles dust across his features everywhere, how smooth he is, how he’s oh so perfectly waxed-
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, shit.” Of all things that could have happened, Steve sporting a boner at school wasn’t rare but definitely the worst. Especially given the subject of his all too sudden desires. 
He had never cared to think twice about Billy when he wasn’t around, and now he’s the only thing on his mind. He can’t go in there like this, can’t face him like this, Steve’s body is too sensitive to even the slightest hint of Billy apparently. 
And he’s not going to jerk off in his car, that’s just… sad.
The fact that he makes it all the way home without a single speeding ticket is just dumb, lazy luck, and that he makes it to his bedroom before jerking off for the second time today is just impressive. At least he can still show some self restraint.
But only a little.
For when he’s done and ashamed of it all, he sluggishly drags his feet toward the shower, where as soon as the hot water hits his skin, he’s reminded of the locker room at school. And he’s reminded of all the times he has caught Billy stealing glances, only for those crystal blues to flee once they’ve been caught, maybe spit out a little toxic comment that’s barely heard in passing.
As he now looks down at his fully hard dick once more, yearning to a certain someone’s attention here in the nude, Steve closes his eyes only to be met by the prideful, girthy cock that even when flaccid Billy struts around with like he’s the king.
His lips pursed around a cigarette. His hands as they grasp the ball at practice. His fingers so nimble whenever he plays with a pencil in class. His smile that he flashes to all the girls. His tongue out to swipe as he grins at Steve.
“Fuck, ah-” he bites into his one hand as he cums into the other, white clashing with the pink of the bathroom tiles. And another, “Fuck!” as he slams the side of his fist against the wall of the shower.
Barely an hour passes before he’s hard and ready again, lying on the couch with old reruns of whatever on the tv, his eyes glued to the pics Billy has posted everywhere for his own conceited ego’s sake, and the hundreds of likes and comments he gets, of course.
But it’s hard not to like what you see, when you’re faced with self-confidence like this, and well earned at that considering his Adonis looks and frequent exercise routine. It wouldn’t shock Steve if he found out that Billy could lift him without breaking a sweat.
Actually it thrills him far too much to even consider, as he watches a video on instagram of Billy benching far more than what Steve weighs, and all the blood rushes into his already eager erection at such a speed he gets a little dizzy.
He almost misses the doorbell ringing in his intense, almost stalker-y field of view, and who the fuck even rings anyone’s door at almost 1pm on a Monday. A sigh and rubbing his eyes prepares him for the inevitable greeting of either mormons or jehovah's witnesses, or maybe he’s lucky to meet a travelling salesman who’s got a cure for crushing on people way outside your league.
The bell rings several times as he walks up to the door, and even after opening it up to the warm summer weather, it takes Steve several long seconds before he realises who’s standing there, toothy grin and denim clad with an arm up on the doorframe.
It hits him like a bullet to the heart, the shock of finding billy Hargrove here, in front of Steve who’s barely dressed and-
Billy’s eyes hone in on the obvious tenting of Steve’s green boxers, and that grin spreads into the widest, flashiest smile that Steve has ever possibly seen.
“Is that for me?” he drawls out, lustful and daring.
And it sets the poor trust fund kid aflame, his heart pumping so fast and hard he feels it pulsate in his dick. The blood rushing away from his brain must be making him dumb, because the only seemingly obvious reaction Steve can sort out is reaching for Billy and kissing that smug look from his face.
It doesn’t take Billy long to get in on it; he pushes his way through the door and closes it behind him, strips clean of his denim jacket before tugging off Steve’s shirt. It all happens so fast he can’t even follow, the taste of Billy’s spit and the feel of his teeth biting disorients him to a point where he can barely answer the question,
“Where’s your bedroom?”
With, “Upstairs and to the left.”
Suddenly they’re on his bed, the memory of them stumbling up the stairs as they undressed distant and nearly gone, as the throbbing of his cock has never felt louder than in this moment.
Of all the girls he’s been with, being with a man is… different. He’s nervous, almost nauseous with it, yet has never been more excited, turned on, or harder in his entire life. Hands are everywhere but where he desires them as they push him into the covers, smoothly runs up and down his chest and abs then all the way up to cup his jaw. His face feels wet with kisses and how eagerly Billy licks his lips to taste everything.
It’s a rushed mess yet it doesn’t go fast enough.
“Touch me,” he whispers without thought as he tries to keep up with Billy’s pacing.
“Yeah? Want me to touch you, pretty boy? Touch your hard, long cock?” Billy’s tone almost cruel and rough at the seams, his hands going down to grip Steve’s hips with near brutish strength.
“God yes,” Steve moans at the slight pain, “I want you to touch me so fucking bad- jerk me off, please.”
“Please?” Billy barks out a laugh at that, “Those bitches you fuck into all that nicety? Please and thank yous.”
“They love it,” Steve says with confidence that can only come from personal experience.
But it only makes Billy laugh more as he pulls away. He sits up on his knees, cock hard and thick where it stands at attention between his muscular thighs. “That won’t work with me, princess. Don’t gotta ask like a good guy for me to fuck you, just say it and I’m here.”
“How easy of you,” the words are out before Steve even thinks about it. The rivalry they have is still new and fresh, it can barely be helped, and for a moment he fears that he has ruined the moment.
Yet Billy doesn’t move away. He slowly licks along the arch of his upper lip, something deep and primal in the way he stares, and a hand runs through his golden locks to push them away from his irritatingly handsome face.
“Look who’s talking.”
In a rush that seems natural to Billy, he flips Steve onto his side before laying down behind him and pressing the head of his wet dick against the crevice of Steve’s thighs.
“Wait!” Steve almost shouts as the churning of his stomach makes him sick with worry about the more technical functions of… this.
“Don’t worry baby,” Billy’s voice all of a sudden like silk, a range so odd and unfamiliar compared to his normal boisterous attitude, “I’m not gonna pop your cherry the first time we do this. You got me too excited for that, don’t wanna wait while I prep you like you deserve,” he whispers against the shell of Steve’s ear, and it eases every single worry he had.
“Oh…” The pent up nerves in his stomach vanishes, like a knot coming undone, every single muscle in his body relaxes into the sheets.
Well, almost every single muscle.
“Yeah, oh,” Billy chuckles and rubs his nose against the back of Steve’s neck, kissing his back. “I can be a nice guy, too. You don’t gotta worry bout a thing, just let me take care of you.”
Today has been… a long, confusing mess. From the boner he woke up with after dreams of Billy, to the one in his car, the one in his shower, the one on the couch, to the way Billy so rudely shoved his way into Steve’s personal space, up the stairs, onto the bed. Rude and hectic from their first kiss till now. Now he’s… nice? Steve feels a fool for falling for it, but at least he’s aware as he lets down his guard and allows for Billy to… do whatever he pleases.
Is this how girls feel whenever a hot guy is nice to them? Whenever Steve is nice to them? Doesn’t feel like the worst thing in the world.
So he nods and hums a light agreement.
“Good,” Billy hums, too, and it makes Steve’s skin crawl in the best way possible; the shivers down his spine almost delightful as they go straight to his dick.
And when Billy gently pushes his heated flesh in between Steve’s thighs, the wet pre lubing up the skin perfectly, it’s weird and foreign, but also impossibly erotic and thrilling, and suddenly all Steve can think about is how Billy’s cock would feel inside of him.
It’s no lie that that’s something he’s thought about before - not necessarily with Billy mind you, just in general when sliding into a soaking wet pussy, he’d often get almost lost in thought about what that feels like, and if this is any indicator of it, he’s even more eager for it now.
So eager he can’t help the long, breathy moan that escapes him as Billy moves into his embrace till they’re lying flush together.
“That good huh?” Billy whispers from behind, and Steve can only imagine the self-satisfied smirk on his face.
Rather than responding he moves, closing his legs tighter and grinding back against Billy, as to test his own boundaries with all of this - which has been something of a win, considering he really went from his first kiss with a guy to this within ten minutes or so. And the way Billy groans all pleasant and pushes harder into their meeting of skin jolts through Steve’s cock like a bolt of lightning making him spurt out pre.
“Yeah, keep your legs just like that,” Billy speaks uncharacteristically soft as he moves one hand down, his burning hot palm smoothly moving over a thigh and staying there for leverage, as he starts rocking back and forth. In and out. 
Steve’s breath stutters and he can’t help but put a hand over his mouth. It’s not uncommon for him to be overly vocal and enthusiastic during sex, but this felt… almost embarassing, the kind of blithe and soft coos and moans rather than deep, throaty groans making his cheeks red.
“Don’t do that.” Billy moves his hand up to grab Steve’s and intertwines their fingers. “I wanna hear you. Let me know what I do to you.”
His cock throbs with urgent need at those words. Such a deep, baritone voice that excites Steve to a fever pitch, his body burning up where sweat gathers down his back between them. It’s gross and stimulating all at once, as Billy thrusts between his wet thighs and holds him close, he feels like a virgin again.
And maybe that’s why Billy is treating him so kindly. Not that he disagreed with the fervor earlier, how crude it was to be manhandled like that, but this? This gentle rocking of their bodies as they together find harmy in the rhythm, it’s intoxicating. Steve barely even notices when his own hand sneaks down to wrap around his hard length, so lost in the moment he can’t think straight, can’t stop the sighs and moans that spill from his body as he melts into Billy’s embrace.
“That’s it,” Billy speaks softly like summer rain, “God you’re so fucking hot. Can’t tell you how long I’ve admired you in secret, thought about every single mole and freckle as I jerked off at home. This is all I’ve wanted for so long, I thought I was dreaming when I saw you on the app.”
Steve wants to respond, wants to say something like, “How do you think I felt when we matched,” but his mind is a fog of euphoria, barely able to even hear what’s being so dearly and honestly said as he can’t focus on anything other than the slickness of Billy’s cock hitting the back of his balls, nudging him closer and closer to the edge with every thrust.
“Your thighs are so nice and soft, clenching around me just right, arh, you feel so fucking good, princess.”
When Billy speeds up, Steve naturally follows along.
“I’m so close.”
Steve, too. The pent up feeling that’s been quickly building to an unbearable pressure point is becoming too much, hot and ecstatic like a volcano waiting to erupt.
“Wanna cum between your legs so bad, baby.”
“Ah- please,” Steve finally finds words and it comes out like a pathetically needy little whine.
He wants to wait- wants them to cum together like he’s seen on porn as fake as that might be, but it’s a sudden and rampant thing, blinding him with fireworks behind his screwed shut eyes. A feeling that can’t possibly be expressed in any other way than a loud, prolonged, almost shocked moan, as he cums into his own hand that he jerks with ardent intensity.
Whilst not simultaneous, Billy is not far behind; urged on by Steve’s alluring keening he sped up his thrusting and grinding like he’s in a race for the finish line himself. And it would be kinda humorous if it wasn’t so hot how hard he slams into the gathering of warm, soaked flesh. Oh how he pounds into Steve with all his sweaty might, grunting and groaning till he cums with a loud and lustful moan, his hand still holding on to Steve’s with a near crushing passion to it.
And then there’s silence, as they breathe out together, muscles relaxing, dicks flaccid and sticky with cum. It’s warm and nice and cozy, but it’s hard to enjoy for Steve.
Is Billy actually this nice, or was it just a play to get off? Did he do to Steve what he does to every other bitch that he gets with? What now? What’s next? Are they gonna be a thing or just friends with benefits? Wait, are they even friends? Fuck buddies maybe? All the thoughts that he didn’t have time to be anxious about before comes rushing in fresh and clear in a post-climax-clarity moment, and it stirs the pit in his stomach alive again.
When Billy squeezes his hand gently, and asks, “What are you thinking about?” whilst nuzzling into the nape of Steve’s neck, kissing him lazily as if almost asleep.
It… helps. The thoughts aren’t gone per say but they’re in the distance now, and all it took was a simple question- a sign of caring.
Steve turns around in bed to look at Billy’s drowsy expression, before answering, “Thinking about taking a shower. You wanna come with?”
Billy’s nose furrows and wrinkles as he peeks out past ruffled curls. “Can’t we stay like this a bit longer?”
It makes Steve’s heart beat different.
“Sure.”

Tumblr Messed Up Fill #1
Tumblr media
So Tumblr did a BIG OLD OOPS and published a bunch of my unfinished drafts that I left in my queue at 1 PM... when I set it to 1 AM and intended to finish a couple and then change the time again.
LUCKILY I DIDN’T HAVE THE ENTIRE FILLS IN THE QUEUE AND JUST BITS I ADDED IN TO HOLD SPACE. So... I guess this is how we’re doing this! @winterpower98​ here’s some Mentor Swap AU Shadowpeach!
How did you get that scar?/That is not a good hiding spot.
It had been scheduled far in advance and Wukong should have remembered that this was going to happen. The Weather Station needed to let it rain sometimes! It was good for the environment! Good for nature! But Wukong was Wukong and when he trained with Xiaotian for as long as he did he had a tendency to forget the unimportant things like “scheduled downpours” and “when training is actually supposed to end”.
So by the time he managed to crash land a foot away from Mei’s front door after pogo sticking his way off of Mount Huaguo he looked like he’d been dropped into the ocean.
“Cold-cold, cold and wet!” He yelped, shoving the staff back into his ear and trying to hold his jacket over his head as best he could, which did just as much good as it did during the ride. Which was “barely anything”. “Ah shit, it’s cold why can’t they make the rain not COLD!?”
He continued into the building, shuddering as he felt rain water seeping through every bit of fabric he wore, even his shoes the traitors. He immediately started ripping off his shirt, at the very least wanting to get some of the drenched clothing off him, and he froze when he heard a yelp from the other side of what should have been a very empty entry way given Mei was supposed to be out of the house.
A very familiar yelp.
“Why aren’t you are your own house!?” The voice yelled, and as Wukong pulled his shirt over his head he found the voice’s own staring at him with wide eyes alight with a mix of confusion and horror.
“UH, I think I should ask you that, Macaque!” He accused, turning sideways and walking backwards into the building with a raised eyebrow. “Why are you in Mei’s house? Are you hiding in Mei's house!? That is not a good hiding spot!"
“Wouldn’t you like to know, Monkey Boy?” Macaque said snarkily with a smirk.
“Monkie KID, and yeah, that’s why I asked,” Wukong snarked right back, holding his shirt and jacket out in front of him with a frown. “Also, you’re a monkey so...”
“Oh shut up.”
"And you look like you nearly drowned," Wukong chuckled, ringing his shirt out and pointedly not mentioning the blush he saw forming on the other's face. Yet. "It's raining cats and dogs and I’m pretty bad to, but you shouldn't be that bad."
"... don't laugh," Macaque grumbled, doing much the same to his scarf. "I was trying to get here when the rain was getting really bad and I... fell. Off the docks."
Wukong immediately burst into cackles.
“I told you not to laugh you asshole!” Macaque snapped, baring his teeth and trying to puff up his fur in annoyance but failing miserably with the sheer amount of water weighing him down. If anything it probably just made him look... adorably sad. Like a puppy. But a human sized monkey.
“I-I’m sorry!” Wukong held his sides, trying his very best to stop laughing. He also failed miserably, if not even more so than Macaque. “It’s just imagining you, YOU, falling off the docks? Just! You’re practically an acrobat! You’re usually way cooler than that!”
As Wukong continued to fail Macaque’s face softened as he stopped barring his teeth in warning and stared at the other young man.
“... you think I’m cool?” He asked softly, attempting to smooth down his fur and brush the water out of it.
“Kinda?” Wukong said with a half snicker, finally having himself under control. “Cool enough I guess.”
Macaque hummed, giving up on his attempts to dry off with a sigh. It was pointless to try to dry off with his fur like this, not without some kind of towel or brush. And he would be damned if he let Wukong let himself shake dry! That was not going to happen.
So instead he turned to the other, watching as he laid out his tip layers on his arm and turned around.
And something caught his eye.
Multiple somethings.
“How did you get that scar?”
Wukong tensed, not enough for him to stop moving but more than enough for Macaque to notice that he was walking away much slower than he needed to.
"Depends on which one you mean," he answered eventually. He reached up to pull on his hair, frowning as it dripped more water on him.  "Hold that thought until I come back."
And so he did. Macaque watched the other leave and stood in the open room, awkward and dripping sea and rain water all over Mei's floor.
He debated leaving. Just walking out the door and avoiding the awkward conversation that was sure to be leveled in his direction when the human returned, but before he could even make the decision to decide on an option something brought and green was lobbed at his head and wrapped around his face.
“WHAT IN THE-”
“Towel off before Mei gets angry we both tracked in water,” Wukong said, mischievous chuckle resounding through the air before Macaque managed to unwrap the towel from his face. “I’ve got something else that’ll help out after.”
Macaque was going to ask what that something was before the words died in his throat, the sight before him making him pause in confusion and barely held back amusement.
“You have Monkey King themed PJs?” He asked, toweling off his head first. “At Mei’s?”
“Sometimes I stay over.” Was all Wukong said, shrugging as if it was nothing. “Considering you’re here and I don’t see signs of a break in I assume those plum PJs in the same closet are yours.”
“I DON’T HAVE PAJAMAS HERE I DON’T STAY THAT OFTEN!” Macaque snapped, and his face flushed a deep red in embarrassment before he saw Wukong’s victory smirk. “... you made that up to make me slip that I’ve been here before.”
“And you took it hook, line, and sinker,” Wukong said playfully, grabbing the monkey demon’s arm and using a second towel he had to dry it off. “I wasn’t kidding about the PJs though.”
“O-oh...” was all Macaque could reply with as the information slowly sunk in before he ripped his arm away. “I can do that myself!”
“Then do it and come inside!”

Macaque was... mostly dry after a couple minutes, enough for Wukong to drag him into the bathroom and instruct him to change and use the blow dryer he has shoved into his hands while he mopped the floor. And as much as Macaque disliked the noise... he couldn’t argue that the warm air of the device was a welcome change from the icy seawater against him.
He may have looked like an extra puffed up fur ball when he was done and refused to come out until he at least had the PJs (short sleeved and indeed covered in plums) on to hide the worst of it.
Didn’t stop Wukong from devolving into cackles at his expense once again.
“Hold on, let me do something,” Wukong offered, and guided him to sit down on the couch sideways, situating behind him with the other pulled against his chest and a comb in hand. “At least I can help with your hair... if it counts as hair.”
“... I don’t know if it does,” Macaque replied, finding himself at a loss for what to do and say in this situation.
They were enemies, right?
Shouldn’t Wukong... be chasing him out of the building?
Now sitting him down to- OH NO!
“ACTUALLY WA-”
Macaque froze as Wukong’s fingers brushed against his scalp and the teeth of the comb brushed through his hair, far more gentle than Macaque could remember anyone touching his hair before, and he went limp in Wukong’s arms like putty.
“Knew that’d get ya,” he felt Wukong say as much as he heard him say it, and the hands and comb continued through his hair and fur and he couldn’t even muster up any coherent words to snark back at him. Just a frustrated grumble. “Xiaotian does this to me a lot. And to his monkeys. So I figured this would be... ya know, nice for you.”
They stayed like that for a good while, Wukong brushing his fingers and the comb through puffed up fur and pulling out tangles Macaque didn’t even know he had on the back of his neck. It felt... strange. To trust someone that you spent so much of your time fighting against, flirting with awkwardly in the midst of battle, never thinking that the two of you would just sit and do anything calmly together.
But here they were. On Mei’s couch. Macaque feeling a purr rumble up in his chest as Wukong groomed through his hair and fur in a gesture he clearly admitted he knew the implications of.
“They’re from before,” Wukong said after a while, after he rested his head on Macaque’s shoulder and started working through the fur on his arms. “Before Red took me in... back before I had the staff to fight with.”
And as much as Macaque wanted to ask, and if he really tried he knew he probably could, he chose not to push it when he heard the way Wukong’s tone changed. Something equally nostalgic and melancholy.
“I think they make you look cool too,” was what he said instead.
“... We’re both pretty cool.”

Even Though most of her happiest memories were connected with this town, the town she spent most of her life in, Claire never thought she actually would be back here. And certainly not pregnant and all by herself.
It wasn’t that she had been unhappy here. Claire just always wanted something… bigger. Something more. Something exciting. After her parents died and most of her friends moved away, there was nothing holding her back. Well, that wasn’t true. Frankie and Santiago were there. But only when they weren’t overseas or god knows where, which left her with her dream of being a journalist in a small town where she had no chance to ever make it.
She still remembered Santi’s face when she announced that it was her turn to leave just before they were about to be gone for months again. She had gotten a job in New York and thought for days about what to do until she took the job. That was eight years ago and they hadn’t seen each other in person since then.
Yet when she called Frankie three days ago in tears, it was like no time had passed. She wanted to call Santiago first, but she knew him. If she had told him what happened to her he would have gotten into his car and gotten to her, no matter if it took 3 straight days. No, she had called Frankie. He had listened to her for hours until he made her promise to book the next flight out.
When the fuck did her life become such a shit show?
Only a week ago, she had the dream job, was engaged and 5 months pregnant.
Claire was happy. Until her fiance came back from a work trip and suddenly announced that he wanted nothing to do with the child and moved out within days, leaving her on her own. Not even his phone number was working and she wasn’t gonna show up at his work. She wasn’t that desperate. She should have seen it coming. John never planned to have kids. But when Clarie found out that she was pregnant he had already asked her to marry him and maybe he was too proud to end the engagement back then. Thinking back maybe this was the reason he stayed. Because a part of him wanted to spend his life with her. They didn’t fight. He just moved out, told her that he would take care financially of her and the child, but that he didn’t want to be a father.
The first days she was just numb. Trying to wrap her mind around the fact that the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with, left her while she was pregnant with a child they didn’t plan but that she loved without a doubt. That was what kept her going. Her little bean. Claire would do anything to protect her little girl.
The guys to this day called her bean. She found herself thinking more of them since John left. Even without seeing them in the last years, they still stayed in contact. Not a week went by where she didn’t receive a letter. They had a group chat that was only used when they were at home and the bachelor was on. Cause fuck did they all hate that show but they watched it anyways.
Claire was okay with the whole suddenly being on her own thing, until she felt her baby move for the first time and turned in her bed to wake her fiance, finding the side empty and cold. For one tiny moment, she had forgotten that she was alone in a city where she had only a couple of friends who were his friends rather than hers. She had always had a hard time finding friends. That probably wouldn’t change.
Sucking her bottom lip in, she rested one hand on her belly as she waited for her luggage to arrive. She slept almost through the entire flight. Claire had gotten rid of the last eight years of her life in the last 48 hours. She wanted to start fresh. She needed a fresh start. Even if she had no idea how to deal with all of this on her own.
A woman next to her helped her get her suitcases on the cart, noticing that Claire was on her own. Pushing the cart through security she saw Frankie as soon as the door opened and next to him Ben, Will and Santiago who all smiled at her, while she felt the first tears escaping her eyes.
She had met Ben and Will only a couple times, they were living an hour away, but they became part of the group immediately. Once upon a time her childhood best friend, Leah, was in that group too. Claire hadn’t thought of Leah in a long time. She had died in a car accident almost 12 years ago.
Arms pulled her in a warm embrace and even after years of not seeing each other for such a long time, she still noticed Frankie’s scent.
“We got you,” he whispered, kissing her hair. She sobbed once before she was pulled into Santi’s arms.
“Look at you,” he smiled before he looked down at her belly.
“And look at you?” he smiled and leaned down.
“Hello, this is your favorite Uncle speaking,” he winked, bending down to speak directly to her belly, making her chuckle.
“Oh please, we all know I’m gonna be the favorite, hey bean,” Will hugged her.
“Don’t listen to them baby girl, we know they're all gonna spoil you rotten,” she grinned, letting Ben kiss her cheek.
“So you’re staying?” Frankie asked and you nodded.
“I already called some realtors. I wanna get this over as quickly as possible. Already sold everything back in New York,” Claire said, looking at the two men who formed most of her teenage years.
“Okay. Let’s get you out of this airport first. You okay to stay with Frankie? He has the biggest house,” Santiago asked, pushing the cart as you slowly walked towards the exit with Ben’s arm around her shoulder.
“Uh… I don’t wanna impose. I could just take a room…”
“Fuck no. Stay at my place. It’s my Pa’s old ranch. I’m renovating it.”
“What? No way!” she said surprised but Frankie only nodded.
“Yeah after Liz and South America I needed something to keep me busy. Also needed more space for Elena,” he explained. A small smile sneaked to Claire’s face.
“I still can’t believe you’re a dad Frankie.”
“Can’t believe you gonna be a mom. Fuck we’re really adults now, huh?” he winked and Claire sighed.
“Certainly didn’t plan it that way. Or planned it at all,” she said sadly before she shook her head as if to get rid of the sad thoughts clouding her mind.
“I meant it, Claire. We got you. We are bored most times anyways.”
“Hey speak for yourself, Fish. I got a business,” Santi said.
“Yeah. Yeah. Me too. But after work you’re either drunk or after some pussy so?” Ben grinned, making her chuckle.
“So still no ladies in your life, boys?” Claire asked as they reached what definitely was Frankie’s truck. It had his company name on it. “Morales gardening”
“Nope. But now that you’re here we could finally….” Will started only for Claire to look away in disgust, making them all laugh.
“You ready to become a Daddy, Will?” she asked, her hands both on her belly.
“Uhm… of course?” he answered and she chuckled.
“That’s what I thought,” she patted his cheek.
“Come on. Let’s get you to bed. You must be exhausted,” Frankie said and opened the door for her.
“We’ll see you tomorrow for the BBQ,” they all waved. She waved back, letting Frankie help her inside before he closed the door behind her and hopped into the driver’s seat.
“BBQ?” she asked.
“Can’t blame the folks from wanting to welcome you, bean,” he winked.
“What folks?”
“Ya know. Folks. You gonna see,” he looked at Claire. He felt better now that she was here. Frankie had missed her these last years, the couple of calls throughout hadn’t nearly been enough. And when she called two days ago in tears… He would have gotten the chopper and flown over but he couldn’t risk it. He had to be on good behaviour to be able to keep seeing his daughter.
“I missed you, Francisco,” she whispered.
“Missed you too, Bean.”
Tumblr media
The sun was already setting when Frankie drove down a familiar path. Claire had spent countless days on this ranch when she was younger.
“How is your Dad doing?” she asked softly and Frankie sighed as he killed the engine in front of the house.
“I fucking hate that I can’t take care of him on my own, but he’s hanging in there.”
“I’d like to visit him if you’re okay with that,” she reached over squeezing his hand and he looked at her with a small smile.
“I bet he would love that.”
“And I’m sure he would have wanted it this way, Francisco. You know your dad. He wouldn’t have wanted you to drop everything for him. Don’t be too hard on yourself,” she said quietly.
“Damn I really missed you Bean,” he shook his head.
“Missed you too,” she let her head fall against his shoulder.
Claire didn’t really have eyes for the house, all she wanted was to go to sleep.
“I finished the guest room this morning for you,” Frankie said, setting one of her suitcases down as he opened the door.
“Please tell me you didn’t work overnight to finish this,” she sighed looking at him. He was rubbing the back of his head, pulling the cap he was always wearing down and avoiding her eyes.
Knowingly she shook her head, but couldn’t help the smile sneaking to her face.
“I won’t say it. But please don’t touch the walls, they might still be wet,” he said and she chuckled.
“Okay. Bathroom is over there. The shower isn’t working yet but you’re welcome to use mine. Will is coming over to take a look and make this one work. Other than that if you need anything just ask. Until you found a place this is your home.”
“You really didn’t have to do this, Frankie,” she said quietly, feeling overwhelmed by all of this. So many things had changed in such a short amount of time for her and she only now seemed to realize that she was indeed about to be a single mom.
“I wanted to. You’re… You don’t deserve to be treated like this. So let us help you, okay?” he said softly and she nodded but avoided his eyes.
“Okay. Go to sleep. My room is down the hallway if you need anything,” he stepped closer, kissing her forehead and for one tiny moment, she felt like the 15 year old teenager again who was crushing on Frankie Morales.
“Good night, Francisco,” she smiled.
“Good night, bean,” he whispered before he turned around and closed the door behind him.
Claire looked around, in awe of the room, the bed looking so inviting to her. Sighing she walked over to the window, knowing she would be able to see the whole property during the day. Crossing her arms in front of her she closed her eyes, listening to the sounds of nature that she had no idea she had missed living in the city for all these years. She felt a fluttering in her belly, her hand wandering down to feel a kick.
“We’ll be happy here, I promise,” she vowed, rubbing over her belly.
She didn’t want to disturb Frankie, even though she could hear the TV running so she just washed herself at the sink before she put her Pajamas on and sat down on the bed. She would unpack tomorrow. For now she had to sleep.
Tumblr media
The sun wasn’t even up when Claire woke up. She turned in bed, propping herself up so she could look out the window and watch the sunrise. She had to make a plan. A plan that included finding a house, a doctor and help. Though help would be her smallest problem. She already looked at houses in the area and it didn’t look good. If she had more time she would buy the house just down this road, but there was no way the house would be ready before her due date. She would ask Santi for help. He had a lot of connections through his business. Though Frankie too. Claire knew that he had a little gardening company since he lost his pilot’s license. He never really talked about it, but then again, they didn’t talk that much. She knew that he had some problems with drugs in the past, but that he has been clean for almost two years and was doing better. She also knew that there was a lot more to this story then he had told her. Maybe they would have time to talk. To really talk. Groaning to herself, her quiet and peaceful morning was interrupted by her bladder. Time to start the day.
For a minute she wondered if she could risk sneaking into Frankie’s room to take a shower when she heard music playing. Grabbing her bathrobe and toiletries she opened the door and walked down. Now being really awake she had time to take in the house. It seemed like there still was a lot to do. The walls were still unpainted, the floors still old, though she could see he already started with the floor the closer she got to the kitchen.
Frankie was sitting at the kitchen island, a cup of coffee in front of him as the radio quietly played in the background. He had a serious case of bed hair and she smiled to herself. He hadn’t noticed her yet and she found herself thinking back to all the times she had thought that maybe there was something more in between them than friendship. And maybe there was at one point a long time ago. But that was before he joined the military. She might be selfish for it, but she couldn’t be in a relationship where her partner was gone all the time. She needed someone to be there. Even Though there had been times in the past she had found herself asking if maybe she should have risked it.
Instead she had slept with Santiago.
Yeah, that was a big fuck up. Well it was also a pretty good fuck but it was just once and they definitely were better off as friends. She still didn’t know if Frankie knew. Not that she had to explain herself. Frankie always knew what effect he had on the women around him, and he sure as hell took advantage of it. And now she felt nothing more than love for him. As a friend, nothing more.
“Good Morning,” she said quietly and Frankie turned his head, yawning at her.
Chuckling she walked over taking in the kitchen, setting her toiletries down.
“You weren’t kidding when you say you were still renovating,” she sat down next to him. He got up from his seat walking over to fix her a mug of tea.
“Still hooked on Strawberry tea, I hope?” he asked and she nodded, surprised that he remembered.
“Yeah. Though the kitchen and living room are supposed to be finished by the end of next week. So sorry for the noise in the next couple days,” he walked over and set down the mug of tea in front of her.
“Hey it’s your house. I’m just thankful you let me stay.”
“Of course. Couldn’t let you stay in the dumpster motel in this town,” he winked. She took a sip of the tea and it was perfect.
“So what are you planning for today?” he asked.
“I probably should start looking into houses. I’m kind of on a timetable here,” she rested one hand on her belly and Frankie followed her movement.
“Yeah. I think Pope already called someone for some houses. It’s not looking good.”
“Yeah I thought so. Everything I found on the internet was in really bad shape,” she sighed.
“It’s gonna work out. And if you don’t find something, you’re welcome to stay. The place is big enough,” he shrugged and Claire laughed quietly.
“Yeah I bet you can’t wait to live with a hormonal pregnant woman and then with a newborn,” she joked.
“I lived with Pope. Nothing can be worse and…”
“And?” she asked.
“I already lived with a hormonal pregnant woman. It’s not that bad,” he shrugged with a small smile. She looked at him with a small smile on her face.
“You say that now. Wait till I’m craving your mug cake at 3am now that I’m living with you,” she joked. Frankie laughed.
“Wow I haven’t had one of those in at least 10 years.”
“Well then it’s about time.”
“Yeah,” he sighed, looking at Claire. She looked more relaxed today, like she had a good night’s sleep and he was thankful he put in an overnight to finish the guest room for her. She deserved to relax. When she told him that she not only was pregnant but dumped by her fiance Frankie was furious, yet at the same time he already decided that he would take care of her and help her with everything she needed. It was the least he could do.
Even though they grew apart in the last years, she still was one of his best friends.
“Okay. I’m gonna go take a shower. I got to drive out to check on a project. You gonna be okay here for a while?” Frankie asked. Claire nodded, grabbing her mug of tea.
“Just tell me when you’re going out so I can take a shower,” she said.
“Thank you, Frankie,” she whispered when she stopped next to him and softly kissed his cheek, before she walked down the hallway. Frankie looked after her with a soft smile before he got up to get ready to head out.

surprise
matthew gray gubler x reader 
based off of this request > heyyyy i saw that you’d possibly write for mgg, so to keep it sweet and simple, could i request a fluffy fic about you surprising him on set after not seeing each other for a while. 
genre > fluff 
wc > 1.9k
after weeks without seeing her boyfriend, the reader decides to surprise him on set. 
Tumblr media
It had been three weeks since Y/N had seen her boyfriend. 
An awfully long, seemingly never-ending three weeks. 
He’d gone to a different state for the film he was currently working on and was going to be gone for five weeks in total. 
She’d wanted to go with him and found it hard to say no when he’d asked, but she had work commitments that she had to uphold. Matthew had understood, obviously, being the compassionate partner he was. He’d told her she was more than welcome to stay at his house while he was away. They didn’t live together yet, having only been together for five months, but Matthew had made space in his wardrobe for her clothes, and the house was full of little objects she brought with her from home. Like her toothbrush sat by his by the sink, and her hair straighteners inhabiting one of the drawers in his desk. She practically lived there at that point, and Matthew was always telling her - ‘You know, you might as well move in now. All of your stuff is here already’, accompanied by that cheeky grin of his. 
She wanted desperately to visit him, knowing she had two days off work coming up and could afford to go and visit Matthew for a long weekend. However, she was hesitant. Five months wasn’t a long time, although they had been friends for a few months before they officially got together. She knew she was in love with him, she’d told him as much and had never been happier than when he returned the sentiment. But she couldn’t help but worry that it would seem clingy if she visited him, especially while he was working. Would he even want her to visit? Her head spiralled with what ifs and possible outcomes. She didn’t want him to feel smothered, or even be put off by it all. 
At first, she figured she would just wait for him to get back. It was only another two weeks that he was gone for, she could handle that, right? Right. But then again, there was only so much that facetiming and daily texts could do. 
She missed him. 
She missed waking up next to him, cooking dinner with him in the evenings. She missed his presence, more than anything. The house was too big for her alone, it felt cold and empty without his warming presence. 
She was sat on his couch, clicking through the channels when the familiar ringtone cut through the air. She picked up her phone, swiping right to answer the call. She held her phone up with a smile as happy face of her boyfriend filled the screen.
“Hey, baby!” He beamed, with his usual excited tone. “How are you?”
“Hi! I’m good, I’m good. What about you, how was your day?” She could see from the background that he was back at his hotel, obviously having just gotten back from set.
“I’m great, now that I’m talking to you.” He smirked at the joke and laughed when Y/N shook her head at him with a smile. They chatted for a little about this and that, and Matthew made several jokes that nearly had her falling off the couch in laughter. That was one of the things she loved most about him, his humour. It never failed her.
As their laughter died down, she noticed how he seemed to just be staring at her through the screen, a small smile on his lips.
“What?” She asked shyly, her cheeks turning red as she blushed. 
“I miss you, you know.” His voice had become more serious, now holding a hint of sadness in his tone. 
She frowned a little at the sudden change in his tone, but still smiled sadly. “I miss you too,” She could feel herself getting slightly upset as she spoke. “So much.” 
He could tell she was getting upset, and so quickly changed the subject. “Well I’ll be home soon! Two weeks, if I’m lucky. Then you won’t be able to get rid of me.” He joked.
She rolled her eyes and sighed dramatically. “Oh, god help me.”
He gasped theatrically, placing a hand over his chest, feigning hurt. “I can’t believe you said that. Maybe I’ll just stay here forever.” He counteracted.
She just laughed at his sarcasm, shaking her head. “No, no! You have to come back, I’m going crazy here in this big house without you.”
A comfortable silence fell between them.
“When you come home, I’m never letting you leave again. I hope you know that.” She grinned.
He just smiled. “Yes ma’am.”
They talked for a little while longer before saying their goodbyes, promising they’d speak whenever he was next free to talk.  As she clicked her phone off, she tossed it to the side with a sigh. There was a hole in her heart when Matthew wasn’t with her. It was like she was incomplete without him. It was funny, she thought, how in five short months he’d become the most important person in her life. 
She stared blankly up at the ceiling, head swimming with thoughts. She recalled how sad Matthew had looked when he told her he missed her, how his usually radiant energy dropped, and his tone was miles away from his usual one. Then, the idea popped into her head. 
Go visit him. If he doesn’t want you there, you can just go, right? 
She knew they hadn’t been together long, but as much as he tried to hide his upset while they were on the phone, she could see it in his eyes how much he missed her.
Within the hour, she had flights booked to visit him, and had been in contact with one of his co-stars, Jenny, who she’d met before as Matthew and her had worked together on a previous film, back when they were just friends. His co-star had agreed that Y/N coming to visit would help boost his mood, as she noticed how he’d seemed pretty down as of late. With her suitcase packed and ready to go, Y/N headed off to the airport; excited but still nervous.
*
She was exhausted from the pretty long flight and had taken a moment in the airport bathroom to freshen up the best she could, before heading towards the set, where Jenny had agreed to meet her. Jenny and her chatted as she showed Y/N to Matthew’s trailer. 
“You know how excited he’s gonna be to see you, right?” Jenny teased, nudging Y/N with her shoulder. 
“You think?” Y/N asked, still nervous he wouldn’t want to see her. 
Jenny turned to her, a look of shock on her face. “You are joking, right? I know you’ve not been together that long but trust me when I tell you that man is absolutely head over heels for you.” 
Y/N just smiled, still unsure. 
“He’s been so low these last few days. We all asked if he was okay, and he’d give us this forced smile, kinda downplay how upset he was that you weren’t here.” She gave a sad smile as they rounded the corner, coming up to where Matthew’s trailer was. 
“Well thank you so much for your help.” Y/N thanked, giving Jenny a hug. 
“Not a problem, Matthew’s just finishing up a scene, so he should be back in about 15 minutes.” 
Y/N bid Jenny goodbye, thanking her once more before walking up the steps into his trailer, closing the door behind her. She looked around, taking a deep breath before taking a seat on one of the chairs inside. She closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing and stop her slightly shaking hands. Why was she so nervous? He was her boyfriend, after all. And if he’d missed her as much as Jenny suggested, then he’d be happy to see her. 
Y/N was knocked from her thoughts at the sound of the trailer door creaking open. She could hear Matthew calling goodbye to some of his co-stars, his laughter sounding out as he made some joke. Oh, how she’d missed hearing that sound in person. He entered the trailer, eyes cast to the ground, still not having noticed her presence. It was only when he turned back after closing the door behind him that he lifted his gaze from the floor, his eyes widening in shook as his eyes landed on her. She was stood in front of the chair, and sheepish grin on her lips. 
She raised her hand in a little wave. “Hi.” 
Matthew seemed frozen, like he couldn’t believe she was really stood in front of him. As soon as he came back down to earth a large smile appeared on his lips and he surged forward, wrapping his arms around her in a warm embrace and lifting her from the ground. “Y/N! You’re here!”
She squealed as he picked her up, her arms going around his neck. “I am.”
He pulled back, lowering her down gently. “What- what’re you doing here? Not that I’m not happy to see you, obviously.” He asked with a smile. 
“Uh well, on the phone yesterday you just seemed really down, and I figured me paying you a visit might help you keep your spirits up.” She shrugged, and he looked down at her like she was something he’d never seen before - an angel walking the earth. 
He just smiled at her words, bending down and hugging her again. “I missed you so much.” He whispered, pressing a kiss to her head.
“I missed you too. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. I guess I was just scared I’d be overstepping.”
He pulled back slightly, a frown on his face. “Why would you think that?”
She shrugged a little. “It’s just we haven’t been together that long and I didn’t know if you- if you even wanted me to come and visit.” It sounded silly and insecure now that she was saying it out loud, but her worries were quashed when Matthew adamantly shook his head.
“Y/N I don’t care how long we’ve been together. This is exactly what I needed. I needed you.” He grinned, cupping her cheeks in his hands.
Y/N breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank god.” She grinned, giggling a little. 
He beamed back, moving forward to gently press his lips to hers in a long-awaited kiss. When they pulled back, he smiled down at her. “How long do I have you for?”
“Four days, it’s all I could get off from work. I’m sorry, I should’ve asked you first, is that okay?” She bit her lip. But he just chuckled at her, nodding.
“It’s more than okay.” His voice cracked a little, and the sound made her frown. She noticed the tears forming in his eyes.
“Hey. Don’t get upset, it’s okay.” She whispered, and he gave a small laugh, moving her thumbs to wipe under his eyes.
“I’m sorry. I just missed you. So much.” His hands came down to rest on her waist, pulling her closer.
“I missed you too. But hey, you have four days of my undivided attention. I’m all yours.” She joked and he smiled.
“Good, cause I reckon we have a lot of time to make up for.” He smirked, leaning back down to kiss her again.
When they pulled back, she just grinned up at him. “So, you gonna show me around set?”
His face lit up. “Of course! I’ll be the best damn tour guide you ever met.” He joked, offering her his hand as he pulled her toward the door. Just before they reached it, he turned back to her. “I love you, you know that? Thank you for doing this.”
She blushed, basking in the warmth that those three simple words brought her. With his job, their relationship wasn’t always going to be easy, but they would make it work.
“I love you, too.”

Cherik fluff/hurt?
Hi@stardustednerd. I am so so terribly sorry for the time this took me. I have accumulated a pretty good list of fics that contain both fluff and hurt. I must say that this fandom does enjoy the angst/hurt part of cherik, there is a lot of hurt/comfort but a bit less of fluff/hurt. I also want to add that this fandom also seems to enjoy Hurt! Charles so you can expect plenty of those in this list. If you like hurt and fluff I highly suggest that you check out luninosity's cherik fics. Cherik Fluff/Hurt fic recs
You’re Not Doing This Alone – flightinflame, Lynds Summary: What's meant to be a simple recruitment mission leads to both Erik and Charles being de-aged back to thirteen years old. Terrified and out of their depth, the boys try to hide their situation and help each other until they can work out what is going on.

We Keep Going, That’s All
@whimpers-and-whumpers , this is for you. Hope your surgery goes well today!
CW: Aftermath of near-death, hospital whump, recovery whump, survivor's guilt, alcohol use, referenced drug use
Ryan shows up to the hospital with Coke bottles full of liquid that absolutely is not Coke - or not much of it, anyway - and Nate doesn't refuse the gift.
He twists off the plastic cap and takes a drink, wincing at the burn down his throat. "Jesus, Ryan, this is m-m-more Jack than Coke."
"Yeah, well. Figured we could use some relaxing." Ryan gives him a slight smile, and the bruising that's been along his jaw - the obvious press of fingers - is finally starting to fade. Off-white bandages ring his neck, hiding from direct view the deep, slowly healing gashes rubbed in by the iron collar he'd worn for a year.
There are other wounds, Nate knows, underneath the lightly-draped black t-shirt Ryan wears, under his effortlessly casual, perfectly-on-trend jeans.
There are deeper wounds still entirely underneath his skin, inside his head. Nate knows those even better. He doesn't begrudge Ryan the need to find some way to fuzz out the edges of what must be written in stark, bright blood in his memory.
Nate spent a year and a half doing the same, after all, before Bram came back for Danny again.
"How is he?" Ryan asks, settling into a hard wooden chair with plastic back and cushion in a dull pastel mauve. "Any different?”
"Then y-yesterday?" Nate exhales, slowly, rubbing at his unshaven jaw. The stubble prickles his fingertips, itches a little as it grows in. There's a razor in the private room's little bathroom, but he doesn't have the energy to use it. All of Nate's energy now is focused entirely around staying right here, being right here, for the rare moments that Danny is both awake and himself.
"Yesterday wasn't... great.”
"No, it wasn't." Nate sighs, leaning over in the chair he sits in, next to Ryan, reaching out with his good left hand to gently nudge a bit of wavy red away from over Danny's face.
The love of his life - the man he's killed for, twice, and would kill for again - lays on his stomach with his head turned to one side. The hospital blanket is pulled up nearly to his chin, hiding from view the fact that nearly all of Danny seems made of bandages these days, bandages and tubes and wires. He breathes slowly, a drugged deep sleep to let his body rest and try desperately to heal itself around the nearly-fatal place the knife went into his back.
He sleeps, more than he's awake. But Nate makes sure that when his eyes open, someone is here for him, every single time.
"Today has been a little b-better, I think," Nate says after a moment's though. He brushes a crumb from the corner of Danny's mouth. "He ate a l-little, this morning. Just Jell-O and a little bit of cereal, but...”
"But something." Ryan nods, takes another drink, looks out the window. Outside, the day is bright and sunny, with a cloudless blue sky. The courtyard below is full of visiting families and patients taking walks through the landscaped flowers, all of them in brilliant bloom. "Have you even left this room since we got here?”
"No." Nate doesn't bother to lie.
Ryan looks over at him, and smiles very slightly. "Remind me to bring you by some multivitamins do you don't die of Vitamin D deficiency.”
"I'm f-fine." Nate takes another drink, feels the warmth slowly spreading through his shoulders, relaxing the knots and tension that have been slowly building day by day. The 'bed' he has here is just a visitor's couch built into the wall, lumpy and hard, with exactly one flat pillow with a scratchy pillowcase. But he'd rather be here than anywhere else. He'll be here for every single second Danny needs him. "I eat oranges for breakfast every d-d-day. No sc-... sc-... scurvy for me.”
"Didn't we joke about scurvy once?" Ryan asks, slightly faintly, looking up at the ceiling. "After Danny came home the first time?”
"M-Maybe. Don't remember. Why do you c-care if I feel good, anyway?”
“My brother can’t fuss over you right now,” Ryan says with a casual shrug. “So someone has to. He’ll never let me live it down if anything happened to you while he’s here. I’ll get chewed out if you get so much as a headcold and we both know it.”
“I d-doubt-”
Danny shifts a little and both men go silent, watching him move in the bed - just an inch or so to the right, his eyes tightly closed, body tensing as even the slightest movement brings a wash of pain.
"It's okay," Nate whispers, and Danny's eyelids flicker, slowly open. The blue in them is hazy and clouded, but not empty. This time, at least, it's Danny who is looking at him, and not the other one, the one that Nate knows only as someone else. The one who runs Danny's body when Danny can't do it any longer.
"Hey," Danny says, in a hoarse whisper. He tries for a smile, and it's faded and wobbly, but it's there. Then he lifts his head a little, looking over to see Ryan. "Oh, you're both... here. How long was I asleep?”
"Four hours or s-s-so," Nate says, standing up - ignoring the twinge of pain in his bad knee - and moving the pillow under Danny's head to still support him even as he moves. A hint of freckled shoulder shows, with its swirling trace of scars from Bram's knife. There's a star carved into the back of his left shoulder that Nate did, at Bram's command, once.
Ryan's gaze be damned, Nate leans over to kiss it, and to kiss one by one the carved letters that are still there, faded, in the back of Danny's neck. A. D. N.
He tries not to feel the guilt that twists in him at the ownership Bram had meant to make obvious, there. His own first initial with Bram's initials, his own... his own culpability.
“How do you feel?” Ryan asks, leaning over close to Danny. 
Danny’s nose wrinkles. “You smell like a liquor store.”
“Yeah, well. When your big brother scares the shit out of you by getting himself stabbed almost to death because of you, maybe you need a little pick-me-up now and then.” Ryan manages a half-cocked smile, but it’s fragile, and they both know it.
With a hiss of pain, Danny moves his hand up the bed, offering it to Ryan, who takes it without hesitation, leaning over so his forehead rests gently against Danny’s. 
“I’m okay,” Danny whispers.
“No, you’re not,” Ryan whispers back. 
Nate moves to sit back in his chair, then stands again, restless. He doesn’t want to sit there but he doesn’t know where he does want to be... until he looks at Danny, thin and dwarfed even by a small hospital bed. He sets down the mostly-jack-and-a-little-coke and climbs into the bed without hesitating, laying down behind Danny on his side, letting his good hand rest just next to a swirl of Danny’s hair on the pillow. 
Danny’s smile widens - not that Nate can see that, from his vantage point. Although Ryan can. “I’ll be okay,” He corrects himself, watching his brother. “They said there’s no sign of paralysis. I’ll walk, I’ll probably even run after a while.” He tries moving and hisses again. “A long while. It’s going to be okay, Ryan.”
“You always were way more optimistic when you were high as balls,” Ryan whispers, and he and Danny laugh, until the action makes Danny whimper at a new spike of pain. “What do we do now, Dan, huh?”
“Keep going,” Danny says, voice low, barely audible even to the two men on either side of him. “That’s all. We keep going.”
“I keep thinking I should’ve died back there, ten times over,” Ryan murmurs. “But every single time, you took the pain for me. I should’ve died-”
“Nah. You’re my little brother. I need you here.” Danny manages to keep the smile, then, and his blue eyes are warm. “If you feel so bad about it, sneak me some of that booze next time, yeah?”
"Dan, I am not going to help you mix IV drugs and alcohol-”
“Just leave it in a really easy-to-reach place and I’ll help myself.”
“Danny. No.”
“Danny yes.”
“Daniel Michaelson-”
“Ryan Niall Michaelson-”
Nate’s rumbling laughter interrupts them. It’s such a rare sound that both of them go immediately silent when they hear it, and Danny even tries to look over his shoulder, gritting his teeth through the ache to see the smile on Nate’s face. It’s slight, nearly private - a smile barely noticeable by anyone who isn’t looking for it.
But Danny is, and through the fog of the painkillers still coursing through his system, he sees it. 
“What?” Ryan says. “What’re you laughing at?”
Nate lays a hand over the star he once carved into Danny’s skin, and moves to rest his nose, just lightly, against the warmth of Danny’s neck, breathing in the scent of him under the hospital-smell that surrounds them. “Nothing,” He says, and Danny shivers a little as his lips move against the curve of the D at the back of his neck. “I’m j-j-just... realizing I’m g-going to listen to you two do this for the r-rest of my life.”
“Is that a bad thing?” Ryan’s voice is dry. 
“No,” Nate says, eyes closed. He can almost feel them in the cabin, like this, just the two of them on days Bram was gone. Lying in the bed wasting the whole morning being warm, just them together. Warm and safe. It feels like being in Danny’s apartment during their year and a half of freedom, the way sometimes when Nate couldn’t get out of bed Danny would just stay with him, holding him, until the pain inside of Nate had lessened enough to let him stand. 
Now it’s his turn to hold Danny.
