#if you ask me hes made a fuck ton of progress

Okay- You asked for raunchy asks and I'm not sure how raunchy you wanna go but hear me out on this
Ghost fucking Soap until he's basically shaking and overstimulated and incoherent-
Got struck with a bit of inspiration with this one
Ghost knew Soap wanted him. It wasn't exactly a secret. He stared at him constantly and almost drooled over him.
Ghost knew he was no good. Yeah, he had made a ton of progress over the years, but he wasn't built for relationships.
None of that mattered right now. He had taken a few edibles and his hand wasn't doing it for him. His hard cock didn't care that he had used a ton of lube and had already stroked himself until his wrist hurt. All it did was make him more and more frustrated.
So he did something real stupid.
"You up?"
Johnny texted immediately. "Yeah. Mission?"
Ghost sent him a picture of his cock. "Yeah. In a way." Not his best pick up line. But Soap bit into it immediately.
"That an invitation?"
"I can see if someone else is interested if you're busy?"
"I'm on my way."
Ghost gave his tired cock a break as he waited for Soap. With every minute that ticked by, he got closer to calling Gaz instead.
Soap busted in, almost tripping over himself. Just as desperate as always. "Sir..."
"Johnny." Ghost purred at him, watching how hot and bothered Soap was clearly getting from it. "Here's how we're going to do this. I'm going to give you some lube, you're going to get yourself nice and slick, then you're going to ride me until I'm done. Any objections?"
Soap was already yanking his clothes off. "No sir. No objections." He was only half hard, but that wasn't going to last long by the looks of it. His cock was nice. A cute shade of pink. Maybe he'd taste it later. Johnny probably wouldn't tell him no. A quick flick of his tongue and Ghost would probably have him begging.
"Don't touch your cock either. If you're good, I'll blow you afterwards."
Soap almost whined. His cock drooled almost as much as his mouth did. "Yes, sir. I'll be good, I promise."
Ghost smiled and kept himself propped up. He watched Soap fumble with the lube, the normal confidence completely gone in favor of trying to rush through this part. Soap kept glancing at Ghost's cock, swallowing.
"This might take me a bit."
"Give me a show then."
Soap nodded feverishly and sat next to him. He started to finger himself, moaning and groaning. A show indeed. Ghost could tell it was exaggerated, but that was fine. Soap would have his brains fucked out in a minute anyway.
Johnny went to stop at two fingers and Ghost grunted. "Add another." He shivered but did as he was told, sliding a third one in. He groaned a bit, proving it was a good idea. "Fuck, you're hot."
"Thank you, Simon."
Ghost watched those fingers pump in and out, in and out, in and out. He lost track of time until Soap could easily take all three.
"Go ahead and get on top of me." Simon relaxed. Johnny straddled him and his cock rubbed at his thighs until Soap's skilled and still slick fingers grabbed him and lined him up. He watched his face as it twisted in pain. Despite all the prep, Ghost was big and Soap was oh so tight. It barely fit.
"Fuck..." Soap groaned, eyes shutting. He immediately started to bounce. Poor thing was trying real hard to get him off.
Simon smiled, slipping into the happy place he only reached when high. Where there was nothing but his body and what he felt right now.
Soap was warm. The lube made him feel wet. He also clenched every time he sank all the way down. Felt so good.
Ghost set his hands on his hips. "Good boy. Putting so much effort in. You're going to be here a while though. Hope you have good stamina. Real good stamina."
Soap grinned. "Come on, sir. You've seen me on the field. I can go as long as you need me to."
Ghost smirked. "If you think so." He enjoyed it. The pleasure sparking through him. That tight fucking hole. The hot body above him. Soap wasn't wearing his dog tags. Ghost wished he was so he'd have something to do with his hands.
Instead his hands stroked up his sides, up his back, down his thighs. Soap started speeding up, groaning as he got his sweet spot. "I'm getting close. Gonna finish with me?"
Ghost hummed. "No. You're going to keep going afterwards. When you finish, you're going to clench around me and it's going to feel reaaaaal nice."
Soap's hips stuttered and he looked confused. "Are you sober?"
"Probably should've asked before you got on top of me yeah? It was just an edible. I'm still perfectly able to consent." Ghost rolled his hips up into so Soap would shut up. "I should've had you blow me first." He thrust up again and Soap finally got the message to keep going.
Soap sped up and ended up coming all over Ghost's chest. His bounces didn't even stutter. He just kept going.
Johnny lasted longer than Ghost expected, but even he had his limits he supposed. His legs started to wobble as he tried to lift himself all the way up. His cock was leaking all over his chest.
Ghost grabbed him once he was barely even grinding on top of him. He flipped them over and started to fuck into him. He pulled his legs as wide open as they went and pounded into him.
Soap choked as he started to feel it. His precum ran down his chest as Ghost hit his prostate over and over.
"Fuck... Fuck... Simon..."
Soap writhed as he took it. Ghost leaned down and pressed his clothed mouth against Soap's. He sped up and let Johnny just take it. He ignored that he came again. Soap whined from pleasure, digging his nails deep into the flesh of his shoulders. "Feels so good. I can't take it. Can't..."
Ghost slammed into him, making Soap start to sob. "Don't care what you think you can take. You seem to be taking it just fine right now." He was finally getting close. Almost there.
Soap's eyes rolled back as he shook. He started to babble as Ghost finally came in him, burying himself deep inside him to pump him full.
Ghost swallowed as he tried to catch his breath. Soap twitched underneath him.
"Jesus, Simon. You a little pent up?"
Ghost looked down at him, disheveled and sweaty. He thrust into him again, feeling the way he clenched. "Another round?"
"Fuck. Can't you give me a minute?"
Ghost stared at him. "Please?"
Soap whimpered. "Fuck... Yeah." Ghost would worry that he wasn't willing if not for how his cock was desperately twitching.
Simon kissed him deeply and started to roll his hips. He closed his eyes and buried his face in Soap's neck.
Soap couldn't contain himself, crying and whimpering into him. Ghost fell into that blissful state again.
Pleasure. Pressure. Everything bubbling inside him into this warm fuzzy feeling.
All that was there was Johnny. Not Soap. Johnny.
For a moment, he thought he may be in love with him.
Soap tapped his shoulder desperately and Ghost faltered, realizing he came again. "Mhmmm ahhhh...."
Ghost pulled out of him. "Good boy. You did such a good job, you know that? Really. Truly."
Soap whimpered, legs shaking hard.
Ghost got him a drink and then sat next to him. Soap started cuddling him and Ghost ran his fingers through his hair. "Next time I plan to get high, I'm going to message you. We'll start with a blowjob this time. Maybe I won't be so hard on you next time."
Soap clenched around nothing as he nodded. "Yes, sir."

Tumblr media
"Oh my god, it's so cold!" Chaeryong squeals and squeezes your arm as the two of you find a good spot in front of the tree near the main entrance into campus. Tonight was the campus tree lighting, so tons of students and residents in the surrounding neighborhood came to get into the holiday spirit. "Okay, this is perfect! Come!" She gestures for Soobin and Seungmin to hurry.
"Who else is coming?" Soobin asks, sipping on the coffee he's been babysitting for an hour now.
"Hyunjin, Yeonjun, Minnie, Jongho—" Chaeryong puckers her lips to the side. "Everyone, basically." She chuckles. 
"Is Yunho coming?" Your eyes quickly dart to Seungmin as he bites on his bottom lip to prevent himself from smirking. But, it's too fucking late cause now, the asshole has you blushing just by mentioning his name. You knew Yunho was coming, but you couldn't help but be nervous every minute you hadn't seen him.
"Hm, I think your answer is right there." Chaery subtly points to a wild Yunho standing in the crowd, speaking to Mingi before his eyes start to scan the place. His eyes meet yours and a soft smile grows on the corners of his lips. He bids farewell to his friend before walking over, your smile slowly growing as he gets closer. "Wow, he looks really good." Chaery says in your ear and giggles.
"Yeah, he does." You eye him in his black coat, white longsleeve, black jeans, black boots and a black and white scarf messily sitting around his neck. "Hey." You smile at him once he's finally in front of you. "You made it!"
"Mhm. And I bring hot cocoa." He hands over one of the cups in his hand and you scrunch your nose.
"Thank you." 
"Of course." He looks at Chaery, Seungmin and Soobin. "Hey, sorry. If I had more hands, I would've brought more."
"Nonsense, Yuyu. I appreciate the thought!" He chuckles when she calls him that nickname he can't really stand, but he excuses it for Chaery anyway. "I'll make these guys useful." She turns to Soobin and Seungmin. "Come with me to get some hot cocoa please."
"I forgot my wallet." Seungmin lies, though he's only teasing and he'll buy her hot chocolate if she really wants him to.
"You liar, you have your card right there." Chaery points at his card on the back of his phone. "After all the things I've done for you.." She continues to go on as she drags Seungmin to the hot chocolate booth, leaving you, Soobin and Yunho in your spots.
"You know that place in town just opened, right?" Soobin sips on his drink. 
"The christmas village with the ice skating rink?" He nods.
"Yup. We should go afterwards. The later we wait, the busier it might get." He looks at Yunho. "Yunho, you should come along with us!" Yunho gives him a smile and nods.
"Sure, I'm down." Sooner or later, the rest of your friends arrive, saying their hello's to both you and Yunho before squishing into the tight spot near the tree. But, because of the tight space, you find yourself now in front of Yunho while he stands closely behind you— chest barely ghosting your back. "You okay?"
"Mhm." You slightly turn over your shoulder to look at him and give him a reassuring nod. A few people are rushing over to the front, causing you to stumble to the side when they force their way through you and your group.
"Can you guys relax? Damn." Jongho says out loud, rolling his eyes. "It's a tree lighting, not a fucking mosh pit." Yeonjun laughs loudly, trying to calm him down.
"Jeez." Yunho puts his hand out to protect you from the rest squeezing their way through. "Come here, stay close to me." You feel his arm wrap around your waist, gently ushering you to the side and out of harm's way. 
"Thank you." You lean into his touch, hoping he doesn't release the hold he has on you right now. Even though the both of you have gotten rather cozy over time, you still find yourself shy around Yunho because you like him.
A lot.
And you didn't want to rush anything, especially since you and Yunho haven't necessarily moved into a more 'serious' territory. Not that lots of time has passed, but part of you was starting to feel a bit scared and conflicted— wondering why Yunho hasn't taken you out on a date yet, or why things haven’t progressed much in general. 
Little do you know that he's already been planning this for awhile, hoping to ask you on an official date tonight.
Yunho smiles to himself because he can already pick up on the little things you do, the little ways you ask for affection. He tightens his hold around you, giving you a small kiss on the back of your head before playfully resting his chin on top.
"Are you warm?"
"Kinda?" Yunho squints with a small smirk in his face.
"Lying to me?"
"Never." You pout and he laughs, handing you his cup.
"Please hold." You take his cup and watch him remove his scarf. He wraps it around your neck, enough that it engulfs you and instantly provides the heat you were looking for. His scarf smells exactly like him— hints of detergent with vanilla and musk. "Better?"
"Yes." He smiles at you in pure adoration before grabbing his cup and stepping back, resuming his hold on you from behind. "Yunho?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you actually wanna go later?"
"Yeah, why not? It'll be fun."
"I'm just making sure." He chuckles.
"Don't worry about me." He kisses you on the temple just as Chaery and Seungmin find you two in the crowd.
"Lovebirds! What happened? Why is Jongho making that face?" Chaery furrows her brows at the group before sipping on her cocoa.
"Some people were rushing to the front." Chaery subtly eyes at the way Yunho is holding your waist, your fingers loosely laced with his.
"Aw, and Yuyu kept you safe!" You flash her a look as she stands nearby with Seungmin, Yunho giggling to himself.
"Hey." Suddenly, Yeosang pops up next to Seungmin and Chaery, his hands dug deep into his racer jacket.
"Was not expecting you to be here." Yunho laughs a bit, grabbing your cup to throw it away in the nearby trash can with his.
"I was already on campus so I figured I'd come." He looks at you and your friends, giving you all a small smile. "You guys look cozy."
"Trying to be." Chaery snuggles into her own scarf, while Seungmin dips into the neck of his jacket. "Nice to see you out though, Kang Yeosang! You should stay with us." She gently tugs on his jacket to bring him closer to the group.
"Can you let him decide on his own, please?" Seungmin  looks at her, softly grabbing at her elbow to stop her from tugging on Yeosang's jacket.
"What! His roomie is here too. He's not entirely alone." Yeosang laughs and stands next to you and Yunho, also eyeing the way Yunho now has his arms around you to keep you close.
"Cute." Yeosang says, clearing his throat shortly afterwards. "What time did you get here?"
"Not too long ago." Yunho looks at his roommate. "I had to go home and change really quickly."
"Change, hm?"
"Too cold." Yunho shivers a bit, holding you close to him as you continue to talk to your friends.
"Yeah, he would!" Yunho and Yeosang overhear you say before you swing back to look at them. "Yeosang, you'd go with us to Santa's Wonderland, right?" Yeosang points at himself and you nod.
"I mean, I wouldn't just go there myself—"
"Then come along with us! We're going right after the lighting ceremony." You smile. "It'll be fun! Yunho is going, too!" Yunho turns to him and nods in agreement.
"You should, it'll be cool. Holiday season only comes once a year." Yunho shrugs.
"Uh, sure? I'll come. But, what is Santa's Wonderland?"
"It's super nice. They have a long light maze that's just made up of a ton of Christmas lights hanging everywhere. Then, there's the ice skating trail, plus there is a part called The Village where you can buy food or drinks." Soobin pauses. "Plus, you can listen to people sing or wait for their turn to talk to Santa. It gets you in the spirit." Soobin finishes his statement before you let out a small giggle.
"Sounds dope. I'll go." You release the breath you've been holding while waiting for Yeosang's response. You're glad he agreed to go, especially being that Yunho is the only person he knows well. You want to get to know Yeosang better, especially since you find yourself spending more and more time at the apartment. You want to be respectful of his space, too.
Just as everyone continues to talk about Santa's Wonderland, the university's president comes near the tree with a mic in hand— beginning the ceremony with his opening remarks. Shortly afterwards, a choir sings a few christmas carols before the president comes back to countdown the tree lighting. Yunho continues to hold you close, your hands resting on his arms as you both subtly sway to the christmas songs now playing on the speakers. The tree is lit beautifully in front of you, beautiful white and gold ornaments lining the branches. Yunho peers over, smiling to himself when he sees the light in your eyes, the glow bouncing off of your skin.
"It's so pretty." You mumble.
"You are." He says against your temple before planting another soft kiss there. You smile to yourself as your attention now shifts to the crowd, your friends happily swaying along to the music. Then, your eyes land on a familiar face across from you— your smile fading when they meet yours.
"Okay, please don't ruin our nice evening because of them." San taps Seonghwa on the chest when he realizes his bestfriend is still fixed on you and Yunho.
"Why can't you just let them be, Hwa? What's the purpose—" Mingi says through his teeth.
"Why, cause that's your friend?" Seonghwa looks at Mingi. "Why don't you go over there then?" Mingi sucks on his teeth.
"I'm just saying, don't you get tired? Let the girl be happy if she's happy."
"It's a phase."
"I don't think so." San mumbles under his breath, tired of seeing Seonghwa act this way when he should've gotten his shit together earlier. But he stays quiet; what can he do at this point? It's not like Seonghwa listens to any of them.
"Hwa." Hyeri pops out of the blue, her hand snaking around his arm. 
"Hey."
"I was looking for you, you didn't answer my text so I wasn't sure if you were still coming." San and Mingi shoot each other a look when she comfortably stands next to him and holds onto his arm— you, now suddenly an afterthought with Hyeri around.
But, to each their own.
You truly hope Hwa moves on because you're happy.
"Should we get going? There's a couple of us that have cars."
"I drove so I can take a few people too." Yeosang says with his hands dug into his pockets.
"Same." Yunho adds.
"The lovebirds should be alone in the car." Seungmin says, laughing when Chaery pinches his arm. "It's the only privacy they'll get right now!"
"Alright, alright." Hyunjin finishes helping sort people into different cars. "Let's go!"
And so with that, the group splits between a few cars, including Yeosang's. As Seungmin promises, you are riding solo in Yunho's car; the heat blasting as soon as he drives off and follows Soobin's car. 
The drive is about 15 minutes back north, nestled right by an outdoor shopping plaza. Your group circles the lot a few times before you all find parking in different areas, only meeting up at the entrance once you're all out of the cars. You happily hold Yunho's hand heading into Santa's Wonderland, the christmas lights hung everywhere shining nicely against the night sky. Yunho playfully twirls you around as you walk under the lit tunnel, gently nudging you to the center so he can take a few pictures of you. After he takes your pictures, the girls grab you and rush over to  another portion of the maze, making the guys snap more pictures before it switches off. 
"Pretty girl, look. Mind if I take you there?" Yunho comes from behind you and says softly in your ear. He points up at the mistletoe hanging above one of the archways you're approaching. 
"Not at all." You smile, feeling the heat rise to your cheeks when he leads you right underneath— cupping your cheeks to place a soft, feathery kiss against your lips.
"I wanted to ask you something." Yunho caresses the surface of your cheek with his thumb.
"Hm?" You hum, head tilted to the side as you wait patiently for his next response.
"I.. was wondering if I could take you out, o-on a date? I know it's been some time, but I've been trying to plan the perfect date and all. I-I was hoping I could take you back home so we could do a few things there before seeing my mom and aunt." You blush and nod.
"I'd like that, Yunho."
"Nice." He says, making you laugh at how shy he's getting. At this moment, he feels everything inside ignite. He feels unstoppable, he feels like he's on top of the world;
Jeong Yunho is in love with you. 
So, so genuinely in love with you.
"God, they're so cute." Chaery squeals as the group continues on, leaving you two to follow behind.
"It's nice to see Y/N genuinely happy. She really deserves it." Soobin digs into his hot fudge sundae.
"Yunho, too." Yeosang chimes in, drinking a white mocha. "He's been happier since they started.. I don't know what this is? Dating, I guess? They're like, official but not?"
"Huh, I guess you're right." Jongho adds. "Have they gone on a date yet?"
"Not that I know of."
"I think he's been planning it. He's asked for my opinion on a few random things, can't help but feel like they're part of his plan." Yeosang responds. "He's a really good guy. Whatever it is, I'm sure Y/N will really like it."
"I agree." Chaery giggles.
After taking more pictures and enjoying the rest of the light maze, the group finds their way to the ice skating trail. Everyone takes their time getting through the trail, your friends spread out at all different points. Yunho is surprisingly good at ice skating. You're not necessarily terrible, but you're not great either. You would rather take your time than try and breeze through the entire thing, just out of comfortability. He patiently holds your hand through the entire path, laughing loudly from time to time at the few instances you almost fall over.
Lastly, the group finally heads towards the village area to find snacks to munch on. There are a few local small businesses selling souvenirs and christmas gifts that you buy from along the way before finding yourself in front of a churro stand with Yunho. You and your friends take your snacks over to the live music, singing along and enjoying the music to wrap the night up.
It was a good time, and you loved that Yunho and Yeosang got along well with your friends. You wouldn't have imagined a better time with everyone, and you're really glad Soobin brought up the spontaneous idea.
Just an hour before closing, the crew heads home— with you, Yeosang and Yunho making your way back to their apartment, Chaery almost playfully dragging you back until Yunho promises her that he'll walk you back home the following morning and won't interrupt your time with her for the upcoming week. She giggles and waves you off, dragging Soobin and Seungmin back to your place.
Yeosang swings the door open to the apartment, and you immediately kick your shoes off to the side. The apartment is warm, causing you to shake off the remaining cold from your bones. 
"What are you about to do? Hop on?" Yunho asks, making Yeo laugh.
"For a bit. I'm kinda lazy, ice skating took everything out of me." You giggle and nod in agreement.
"Yeah, I agree." 
"Today was cool, though. Thanks for inviting me." Yeosang smiles at you and Yunho before slowly making his way to his room. You unwrap Yunho's scarf from around your neck and fold it neatly. Yunho grabs two water bottles before nodding towards his room, heading in first as you follow behind.
"Tired?" Yunho asks as he tosses his keys and wallet onto his dresser.
"Extremely." You look at him. "Is it okay if I grab a shirt and wash up?"
"Go for it." You quietly grab a longsleeve shirt from his pile, waddling into the bathroom to get ready for bed. Once you've deemed the hallway clear of Yeosang, you spring back into Yunho's room in his shirt; him eyeing your cute ass in his clothes.
He honestly will never get enough.
"Comfortable?" You plop onto his bed and start catching up to texts and your social media feed.
"Mhm."
"Did I ever mention how cute you look in my clothes?" Yunho scratches at his temple as he approaches his closet to grab his pajamas to change into.
"No." You giggle, making him turn to face you— leaning onto the edge of the bed to give you a quick kiss on the lips.
"You look really cute in my clothes." He smiles against your lips before pulling back and heading to the bathroom. After a good couple of minutes, Yunho is back in the room and settles on his game chair. He pops his computer on, saying he'll probably play for a bit and that you're welcome to use his laptop for anything. 
But, an hour quickly passes and Yunho is still immersed in his game. Which, you find endearing and cute. You love seeing him comfortable around you, just as you are with him. But after today and how sweet he was being, you just want Yunho. You want him to yourself, now, to be in his hold and to kiss him until you both get worn out.
You want him.
You find yourself straddling his lap again, your clothed core already feeling incredibly needy when you feel the bulge beneath you. 
"What happened to being extremely tired?" Yunho teases as his eyes roam up your body. His hands are at your sides and underneath the shirt, radiating warmth against your skin.
"What happened to playing for a bit?" You tease back, hands at the nape of his neck.
"Sorry, princess." The petname sends shivers down your spine. "I was gonna wrap it up soon."
"Were you?" You giggle.
"I was. But, I can just do that later. What can I do for you right now?" He smirks, finger tracing a soft circle against your side; soft eyes now glued onto yours.
"I just want your company."
"Mm." He hums. "You have my company."
"Nah uh." You pout. "You're over here smashing the fuck out of your keyboard."
"Was not." He laughs. "Tell me." He says close to a whisper, lips only inches away from yours. "What do you really want?"
"A kiss."
"Just a kiss?" You shake your head just as his lips ghost yours. 
"More than just a kiss."
"I think I can help with that." He responds. It's not long before he's locking his lips with yours, the first initial kiss being deep, long; connected until the both of you pull back for a breath. But, Yunho continues to take initiative— dipping in for another, more heated kiss. Your hand gently tugs on his hair, the kiss intensifying by the minute. Yunho slips his tongue in, his grip becoming tighter on your hips when he feels you shift in your position. He feels you subtly roll against him and it instantly drives him insane, sending the blood straight to his dick. 
"Need you, Yunho."
"Hold onto me." He quickly says in between kisses. Suddenly, he swoops you up in one motion, careful not to break the kiss as he sits on the edge of the bed— giving you more space to rock against him and keep him close. The kiss is becoming sloppier, while you're no longer able to control yourself as you grind against Yunho's bulge. He lets out a small groan, his large hands coming to cup your ass to egg you to move more. "Was this what you wanted all along?" He asks as you nibble at his jaw before leaving a trail of kisses down his neck, sucking at the surface near the base. 
"Yes." You breathe out, clit feeling the friction against the fabric of your panties, his clothed cock. You want Yunho so bad, you don't even realize how much you're rolling your hips against him, pace steady but enough to drive the both of you crazy.
"Fuck, feels too good." Yunho breathily says against your lips before gently biting onto your bottom lip and pulling back. "Baby—" He lets out another breath. "When that time comes—" He says against your neck before gently sucking on the surface; slowly, delicately, pausing in between his moves. "I'll make sure to make you feel good." He kisses your neck again. "I'll show you how much I adore you." Again. "Appreciate you." And again. "Want you to feel how special you are."
"Yunho—" His name comes out in a whimper, still grinding against him as you chase your high. Your lips fall back onto his for another sloppy, wet kiss; tongues fighting for dominance while Yunho tightens the grip on your hips. "Oh fuck—" You whine.
"Close, hm?" He gently grabs your chin, lips back against your ear before he nibbles onto your earlobe. "Wanna let go for me, pretty girl?" His voice is husky, fingers digging deep into your side. The petname he murmurs while he sits underneath you is enough to tip you over the edge, face contorting in pleasure when you feel your release completely take over. And Yunho is glad, because one, he can see how pretty you look when you reach your peak— trying your hardest to keep some control over your body as you ride out your high.
And two, Yunho felt like he was gonna fucking pop any second. Watching you tips him over the edge, allowing him to release all of the pent-up pleasure he had been harboring. 
Yunho calls for your name before letting out another soft moan, his body slightly twitching against yours when he reaches his climax. You don't really stop moving until Yunho has finished, head shyly coming up from his neck to meet his eyes. Yunho thinks you're the most beautiful thing he's laid his eyes on, especially now with the post-pleasure glow. He can't wait to see what you look like when he finally gets to feel you, all of you, completely.
"You okay?" Yunho chuckles as he brushes the hair away from your face and gives you a tiny peck on the lips.
"Mhm." You shyly respond and he can't help but laugh a little more.
"So cute." He smiles at you before kissing your forehead. "I gotta go to the bathroom again." He taps your hips. "Kinda made a mess." You giggle and hop off his lap, plopping under the covers while he grabs a new set of boxers and sweats. You hear him quickly turn the shower on before he's out in the next 10 minutes, smelling fresh of his body wash. He tosses his clothes off into the hamper, shutting off his computer before slipping into the bed next to you.
"Do you still wanna watch that movie?" Yunho snorts.
"I'm okay. But, are you? You'll fall asleep."
"I can stay up!" You pout as you look up at him from his chest.
"Okay, cutiepie. If you say so." He pulls up his laptop to bring up Netflix.
"Yunho, what if your mom and aunt don't like me?"
"What?" He looks at you. "They will. I know they will. How could they not?"
"I don't know, I'm just nervous to meet them. I want to make a good impression, of course. I want them to like me and have no worries about me, or.. us?" Yunho gives you a tiny smile.
"They won't. I promise, okay? They'll love you." He navigates the movie. "Besides, they already know about you and have probably looked you up on Facebook." You shoot up from your position and look at him with a brow cocked up.
"What do you mean they looked me up on Facebook— you gave them my Facebook?!"
"No!" Yunho smiles. "More like.. I told my mom your name and she took the initiative to look you up. I'm sure she showed it to my aunt by now."
"Yunho." You whine. "My picture on there is so old!"
"So?! I'm sure you still look beautiful as ever." He grabs your hand and pulls you back down. "Y/N, don't worry about it. I swear they'll love you, okay? Old Facebook photo or not."
"Okay, okay." He kisses your forehead.
"Okay." He repeats after you.
"Where are you taking me for our date?"
"Um, don't worry about that either." Yunho laughs. "Don't try and be slick. You won't get it out of me." You pout again and he shakes his head. "Nope. Here, the movie is playing."
"Fine." You snuggle against him, eyes glued onto the screen as the movie starts.
Sooner or later, Yunho doesn't hear you reacting anymore, and it's obvious that you indeed fell asleep. He tilts his to get his confirmation, seeing your eyes shut and your breathing at a resting rate. He chuckles to himself before gently shutting off his laptop and setting it aside, adjusting his position to engulf you in his arms.
"The movie." You sleepily mumble.
"Too tired. Let's sleep. Goodnight, babygirl." You don't respond. Yunho smiles and kisses your head before shutting his eyes— going to bed the happiest he's been in awhile.

PAIRING: jj maybank x fem!reader WARNINGS: some strong language GENRE: angst, fluff, friends to lovers SONG INSPIRATION: worst of you by maisie peters WORD COUNT: 1k
navigation | inbox
Tumblr media
you stood at the end of the dock, at your spot. the tip of your shoe skimming the surface of the water, shivering at the cool breeze that brushed past you.
wrapping your arms tighter around your body, searching for any type of warmth and comfort as you checked the notifications on your phone for what felt like the fifteenth time that hour, some were from pope and sarah but none from jj.
he promised he'd be here this time! you should've known.
this was the third time in two weeks that you would make plans and something had come up, his empty promises filled you with hope, only for him to be a no-show.
the sun was now setting. tears stung your eyes, sniffling whilst looking down at the ripples of the water finding no interest in doing what you were originally here to do.
"im so stupid, i really thought he was going to be here." shaking your head, more tears fell down your cheeks as you stood.
the walk home was absolutely miserable and the rain that had started to drizzle didn't help either. the few drops turned into heavy showers, having felt there was no need for an umbrella earlier on your clothes were now soaked right through down to your underwear.
opening your front door you were greeted by your excited sister waiting for all the juicy details, knowing that you were gonna confess and helped you get ready for the occasion too.
the tears that had once subsided now came flooding back, she just wrapped you up in a firm hug as you sobbed in her arms.
after you had calmed a little she sat you down asking you what happened or if he had rejected you, but you just explained how he never showed up. how he never even sent you a text about it?
"im gonna kick his ass! who even does that? no, no, no let me rephrase that. when has jj ever done that? especially to you of all people!"
that got you thinking, obviously, him not showing was really hurtful in general, but at the same time, it confused you since this was the boy who wouldn't let you carry your school bag as long as he was around or would bring you your favorite coffee in the morning even if he was late.
for the next couple of days, you avoided jj, which wasn't hard since he had different classes than you that week. the times that you guys did bump into each other you either made up an excuse or joined the sea of people who were rushing to get to their next lesson.
this had been far from easy for you, there hadn't really been a time when the two of you weren't together.
now you're here, sitting by yourself in the library doing your history project here since your laptop decided to stop working halfway through.
hours had gone by and you had made a ton of progress on your work, now sitting back and taking a long sip out of your water bottle as you proofread what you had written only to be interrupted by a loud bang from the entrance of the building, making you jump and turn to investigate.
a mistake on your part since you made direct eye contact with the mad blonde. ducking your head, gathering your things together before logging off seeing if there was any way of sneaking past him.
"what have you been?" fuck.
you tried to ignore and walk around him but were only pulled back to face him by your arm. gentle, his touch was so light like it always had been. he'd never hurt you. no matter how angry he got.
"answer me!" jj exclaimed, only to be shushed by the librarians.
everyone was now looking at the two of you, so you grabbed his hand, dragging him out of there. of course only for it to be pouring again.
"you have the audacity to be trying to call me out on this when you've ghosted me for almost a whole week and then expected us to just go back to normal? like everything's okay between us?" you scoffed, running your hands through your hair, huffing out a laugh.
"i was...busy, i couldn't help it! im sorry okay?"
having heard enough of his shit you walked out into the cold with jj following close behind you.
"y/n talk to me!" he shouted over the loud pattering, stopping you in your tracks, whipping around to face him.
"do you know why i asked you to go to our place the other day?"
he just shook his head.
"i have yearned for you for years, in secrecy and silence." your voice was almost a whisper, but he heard you.
"what?"
"its you jj, its always been you... im in love with you." both of your chests heaving heavily, finding it hard to catch your breath in the rain. tears filled your eyes as you tried to look everywhere but him. his stare felt almost too much.
"but you never said anything?" jjs voice broke as his own tears caressed his cheeks but were quickly wiped away by the raindrops.
"how could i? you're looking at me but you don't see me jj. do you know how that feels? i just want you to see me. please."
that's when he strode toward you, placing his hands on your hips and pulling you into him, your arms wrapping around his neck. tilting his head to the side as his lips brushed against yours.
his hands slid to your lower back, deepening the kiss. reaching up you intertwined your fingers in his hair lightly pulling at the wet strands, a muffled groan left him which only made you smile as you pulled away.
"i love you too, by the way, i didn't know if i made that clear or not?" jj joked which only made you playfully punch him.
the next day the two of you were both cuddled up in your bed sniffling, very sick from stupidly standing in a literal storm yesterday, but hey it was totally worth it in the end.

I'm not okay Pt 2.
love y'all and request are opennn!! I. Love. You!
ghost x reader kinda?? idk guys
genre: Angst
Warnings: no proof read reader being kind of depressed, depression rooms, soap being a good friend AGAIN, ghost being an Asshole AGAIN, some fucking plottwist in the end:), yelling, hurting feelings, situationship
Your gaze drifted to the floor looking at the tons of litter covering your carpet. Your body lazily laying on the couch, arm dangling down- hand dropped onto the cold floor.
You sighed in selfpity.
It's been three days since Ghost forgot your birthday and even though you were used being stood up on him- it still hurt.
It felt like he didnt gave two shits about you- not reaching out to you either.
Johnny suggested that he would talk to him- also being his friend, but you quickly waved off.
You didnt want Simon to know how pathetic you looked right now. Crying over his stupid ass and drowning in laziness. Just sleeping and crying- sleeping and cursing yourself,
sleeping and regretting your life choices.
The door of your small flat opened- empty soda bottles fell over with a loud clank, as the door hit them. You didnt bother to look at the person in your doorframe- knowing it was Johnny.
He quickly sighed- walking through your trash-stuffed and dark room- opening the window blinds and letting you hiss in reaction. The bright light was something you did not saw for days, choosing to live in the comforting dimness of your dirty room instead of looking at the cheery sun- laughing about you.
Your eyes finally settled on your friend, who was now standing with a broom and a trashbag in the centre of your home-made-dumpster;- cleaning your trash without a word.
You knew he was going to talk soon enough.
"So-" Soap begun as you clicked your tounge in confirmation- sitting up in the progress.
"He is angry." He just said- shorty stopping his cleaning to look at you with a serious look- that told you to take this as serious as his voice was.
You shrugged at his statement, not caring about Ghost- standing up and opening yourself a soda can. It opened with a soft click and you could smell the tummy churning sweetness that radiated off the drink.
"let him be." You just answered, feeling too empty and broken to care about somebody that didn't cared about you
Soap chuckled quietly- not liking this pessimistic side of his friend. His heavy footsteps made its way to your trashbin, opening it and letting the litter fall into it.
Onto a still half full bottle of your cheap whiskey.
"He says that you need to send in a report of why you are absent."
he quickly glanced at you, as his gaze finally drifted away from the alcohol. You rolled your eyes and groaned in response, taking your now empty soda can and letting it fall into the trashbag Soap held.
His smile refreshed, as you also smiled gently at him- but soon it was replaced with a nervous gutfeeling.
"Did you tell him anything?" you asked softly with a croaked voice- falling gently into his arms, as you felt the tears sting in the corner of your eyes again. Soap sighed as he buried his head into your hair- taking a deep breath, softly hugging you back.
It was a sweet moment- something between friends. Gentle and lovely.
Soaps heart ached just like yours. You deserved the world in his eyes- the whole fucking universe. Seeing you so sad made him feel something. Some rage that he burried deep down- deep deep down his soul- marked as dead
but it lived.
"You need to get away from him." he muttered- his grip on the back of your head tightening just a bit as you nodded into his chest, not complaining about his words.
Maybe you would- in another live
You knew that you and Ghost had no future together. it would just mean more tears. more sadness
More heartbreak.
"Help me Soap." you mumbled with a shaky breath, burrying your face into his warm chest- not wanting him to see you cry again like a stupid baby. You didnt want him to think that you were weak.
"We will get you out of that situation." he whispered lowly into your hair.
And oh you hoped his words would come true
-
"What do you mean you are done with me?"
Ghost roared behind his office desk. You couldnt see his face- but the hatred that radiated off his eyes was telling you enough.
His fingers clenched around the pen he held, almost breaking it and knuckles turning white. A snarl noticable under his mask- as he rised from his stool.
"You heard me." you huffed while puffing your chest out with crossed arms. Jaw clenching and unclenching- just wanting to get it done.
"Fuck I did." He said with anger blazing behind his brown eyes, voice only a low growl.
"Good-" you wanted to scoff at his asshole behaviour.
"I never liked you anyways." he smirked while looking down on you, only inches space between you.
you breath hitched, your gaze that was never on him- instead on the window of his office- quickly flew to his face. You knew he was lying- just denying some shit that hurts his big ego- but still.
Why did he have to say something like that.
And why didnt he stopped?
-
"I am doing it."
You said to Johnny, leaving him look at you with shock, his mouth standing agape for some seconds before catching himself and clearing his throat.
'I never felt something for you while we had sex.'
Johnny grasped your hand, smiling at you.
'I imagined someone else the whole time."
"I will support you." he whispered with a soft and gentle smile
'I just used you the whole time, princess'
"Thanks Johnny." You said with a teary smile- hoping he would be your best friend forever and ever and ever.
It was decided.
You will do it.
-
He felt bad.
Really. He wasn't lying about this. Well he was.
But not entirely
He didnt loved you nor cared for you the way you did.
But he felt bad for his words.
Ghost was standing in front of your door, quiet and unnoticable, debating if he should leave you alone or knock- saying one or two nice things and then never talking about it again
It seemed like a plan.
He quickly glanced at his watch that sat on his delicate wrist. 11pm. You often were one to sleep much and early- leaving Ghost worried if you would even hear him in your sleep.
You would have
but only if he had really knocked on your door.
His mind was torn by his inner conflict, Soap telling him that he also forgot your birthday.
He felt bad. He really did. Well not entir-
I think you already know what he means.
His fingers knocked before he could think, eyes focused on the wodden door, waiting- anticipating if you would maybe- maybe accept him. Or something else
You didnt answer. You always answered- but not today.
His shoulders visible slumped-maybe because of relief? Maybe because of grief.
He knocked again.
He didnt knew why, but he had to see you a last time-why?
Well maybe he wants you back? Its been two days since he said those horrible words to you, leaving him alone every night.
He had to admit it.
He missed you. Even buying those dumb sodas you liked- the ones he disliked so much because of their taste. But he neverthless bought them in case you would come back after all. Maybe drinking with him just like back then.
Maybe.
His knock was unanswered, leaving him to knock again, harder this time It should have waked you.
A small noise errupted from his side, turning his head to the man that stood there, chuckling at Ghost's Actions
His eyes shortly fixated onto Soap that stood in the corner of the hallway, observing his lieutanent.
"You didnt hear?" he said with an unreadable expression, leaving a confused simon.
"What?" Ghost growled, not wanting to see Soap right now
"She left."

Sorry for asking but do you happen to have any bottom Alastor radioapple fics to suggest? I can’t find any 😭
Don't be sorry! I haven't been reading a ton of fics recently, but I can definitely send you the ones I have! Now that I have a functioning phone, I can do more fanfic reading and, believe me, I have a TON of bottom!Alastor fics saved. Maybe I'll do a weekly fic round-up and post some of the fics I've read that are just 😩👌
But as for the ones that I do have:
(NOTE: Remember to check all of the tags yourself, some of these are more explicit and darker than others)
Hounded by Syntaxeme
Basically, it's Halloween in Hell and Alastor uses his magic to summon a few monsters to cause a little mischief, but accidentally summons Hellhounds instead. Horny Hellhounds. Smut ensues.
It's doesn't have any of your typical Hazbin ships, but it was based off of an audio-Halloween thing someone made a few years back. The fic has the link to that in their notes as well, if you want to give that a listen to.
Decadent Agony by Echowraith
Alastor thinks Vox is going to try and slip him a love/lust potion, and in the case that he succeeds, Alastor doesn't want his virginity taken by him. So, in an effort to control the situation, he asks Husk to take his virginity instead.
These two have such a messy and complicated relationship, and I LOVE it. Very much enjoyed this fic and how it handled Alastor's aro-aceness.
With a Coffee and a Caress by winterveritas
4 times Lucifer touches Alastor, and 1 time Alastor touches him back. God, I love this fic SO much. The writing, the characterization, the build-up, the smut, it's all so, SO good. It's definitely one of my favorites at the moment. Also, we get some fantastic scenes with Alastor's shadow interacting with Lucifer :3
Together in My Pocket by Keelywolfe
Lucifer fucks Alastor in his big King-of-Hell demon form O.O nuff' said.
A Poison for Lust by MatcHoMetriC
Zestial is curious about how potent and dangerous the Vee's new love potion is, and asks Alastor to help him out. Such a fucking treat considering how little Alastor/Zestial content there is out there 😩
601 by ChildishSadism
Vox possesses a priest and Alastor possesses a nun. What else need I say?
A Failure of Business Negotiations by Drowsy_Salamander
Alastor is curious about what the big hype is about sex and enlists Vox to help him out, but, of course, things get sad and complicated >:3 the smut is more implied than explicit, but I still really enjoyed it and Alastor's aro-aceness and his thoughts on sex.
Unhealthy Attachments by KeelyWolfe
Lucifer wonders what Alastor gets out of having sex with him, but the answer he gets is...well, I guess that's for you to read and find out 😈
To Never Let You Go by Anonymous
Dark fic about a darker, more sinister Lucifer baby-trapping Alastor.
And, of course
Lucifer and His Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Relationship by Keelywolfe (Keelywolfe shows up quite a bit in this list LOL)
This isn't so much a single fic as it is a series. But it's got some fantastic scenes, really funny moments, and AMAZING smut. Love their bottom!Alastor stuff and I've really been enjoying the progression of the series as I've been catching up. Some really good food right here.
Annnd, that's all I got at the moment. But, hey, asks me again in a week and I might have more ;) Enjoy these in the meantime!!

chwe hansol x gn!reader
word count: 1.7k
tag list: @weakforsvt @junhui-recs @rasparagus @just-here-to-read-01 @baekhyunstruly @enhacolor @yourfavoritefreakyhan @todorokiskitten
warnings: best friends to lovers, mentions of female anatomy, oral sex
notes: hi remember that valentine's thing I made y'all vote on? yeah this is that! this is two weeks late but ... she's still cute! I hope you enjoy it
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Vernon mumbles.
“You paused the movie,” You smack his chest lightly before turning your head back to face the screen.
“Shit, I’m sorry,” He chuckles and finds the remote on his side of the couch and unpauses it quickly. 
You were both typically able to keep your annual Valentine’s Day movie nights lighthearted, and tonight was no different. You would both choose an iconic romantic comedy to watch with tons of snacks and, as you got older, plenty of alcohol to help you process the absurd plot lines and outdated jokes. 
For years, it helped distract the both of you from the suffocating corniness of the holiday. It originated as a way to forget your high school exes that managed to break both of your hearts right before Valentine’s Day in junior year. 
Now, it serves as a chance to set aside your responsibilities to spend quality time with each other. 
As the movie crawls on, you both get progressively more drunk until you’re only paying attention to each other. 
You’ve somehow sat yourself on his lap, pulled against his chest with his arms wrapped around your middle. 
The sensation of his fingers rubbing against your hand with his breath lightly fanning your neck leaves you far more relaxed than you originally intended. 
“Fuck,” You breathe out, eyes fluttering shut. 
“You ok?” That raspy voice of his doesn’t help at all, sending butterflies straight to the pit of your stomach.
It’s moments like this where you’re certain that you’re in love with your best friend. 
You can avoid confronting those feelings most times when you’re not thinking too hard about it, but when you remember the intimacy that’s worked its way into your relationship over the years, it becomes hard to ignore.
You’ve cuddled with him endless times, but this feels unlike anything you’ve done before. 
“Yeah, I’m fine,” You shake your head to attempt to force the thought out of your mind. 
“Doesn’t sound like it,” He scoffs. 
“The movie’s almost over, we can talk about it then,” You deflect once again.
“Okay,” You’re grateful that he leaves it alone, focusing his attention back to the screen. You weren’t exactly lying, you knew there were only a few scenes left even in your intoxicated state. 
The final kiss plays on screen and your cheeks burn in embarrassment. You were so close to admitting the truth that it almost left you feeling sick. 
Once the credits roll, he pauses the movie and calls your attention with a gentle hand on your hip. You reluctantly turn around in his grasp and he immediately picks up on your discomfort. 
“It’s okay, love. It’s just me,” His voice lowers to invite you to share. His eyes are so forgiving, that nickname was reserved only for the moments where he needed to be vulnerable with you. 
“I love you,” You say it without thinking. His face remains unchanged.
“I love you too, what’s the matter?” He asks, slightly oblivious to your tone of voice.
“No, Vernon, I love you,” You emphasize quietly, “and I have for a long time.”
“Oh,” He goes quiet. You’re always nervous watching Vernon contemplate his thoughts. He’s always been quite expressive, so seeing him process your statement starts to plant seeds of doubt in your mind.
It’s worse knowing that he’s tipsy as well, but it doesn’t seem to impact his train of thought very much when he locks eyes with you.
“Well, I really love you too,” He offers his hand to you, you grab it without hesitating. He fights a smile, but gives in once he sees your reaction, a mix of surprise and relief that he finds incredibly endearing. 
 “I didn’t think we’d ever get to tell each other that,” He avoids your eye contact with a short smile before looking at you again.
Of course, you’ve both said I love you to each other countless times, knowing that your love for each other has been evolving into something so distinct and fulfilling. It’s often unspeakable, laid out in spontaneous late night road trips, deep talks, holding each other accountable for your individual fuck ups, and countless other events that have kept your heart full.
“Me neither. Sorry it took me so long,” You admit sheepishly. 
“Well, you were brave enough to actually tell me, so don’t worry about it. I was probably just gonna die without saying anything.”
“Vernon, come on,” You try to laugh it off with a playful hit to his chest.
“I’m serious,” He insists, adjusting you on his lap by tightening his grip on your waist ever so slightly. It’s as if your dynamic shifted in an instant.
“I just always figured there would be someone else for you,” He sighs. He wasn’t exactly wrong, seeing as you’ve been in multiple relationships since you’ve first met. Since the last one ended only a few months ago, you’ve finally come to terms with the fact that these people were merely a stand-in to avoid thinking about being with Vernon. 
“That’s fair, but I always wanted you,” You affirm.
“Always?”
“Yes, shockingly, even when you had that weird middle part,” You recall his old hairstyle to his chagrin.
“You’re so mean for bringing that up,” He laughs and traps you in his arms further, pulling you into his chest until you fall on top of him.
“I’m sorry,” You giggle uncontrollably and surrender to his hold, causing him to lay you flat against the couch underneath him. Your mutual tension leaves him hesitant to touch you, but his hands eventually cup your cheeks and it already leaves you flustered. 
Your breath hitches in your throat as he leans closer to your face, finally confronting you with the scene that you’ve dreamt of for ages. 
Vernon is going to kiss you and it’s completely real, the fanning of his breath against your lips brings you back to reality. 
You nudge your chin up slightly and it’s enough for him to close the gap between your lips, pressing against you gently. You can barely register it at first, but the taste of him leaves you breathless. 
You instinctively let him take the lead as he pushes his tongue into your mouth, gladly accepting him with a tilt of your head. He swallows the moans that you let out, absentmindedly moving his hand down until it settles underneath your shirt, resting on your breast. He gently rolls your nipple underneath his finger, forcing your head away from his mouth with a quiet whimper.
“Vernon, don’t tease,” You whine pathetically. He retreats his hand from underneath your shirt and chuckles at you.
“Feeling desperate, love?” He teases you yet again, rubbing your hip with a quiet ease. You can only nod and adjust yourself underneath him, your brain can barely catch up to the desire of your body.
“Let’s take care of that then.”
--
“Fuck, Vernon,” You moan wantonly, eyes falling shut at the sensation of his mouth on your clit. Your energy is steadily waning, but Vernon’s stamina has kept you in the saddle longer than you expected. 
Your escapades had made it to his bedroom, and he wasted no time spreading your legs open to access your dripping cunt. Your first orgasm was explosive, you held his head against your entrance despite how painfully good it felt. 
His tongue doesn’t hold back as it prods your entrance without stopping, giving you no time to pull back.
You can already feel your second orgasm building in your stomach, and you let yourself whine louder than before. 
He raises his head and moves his thumb to your clit, massaging it faster than you could process.  “Come on, baby, you can give me another one,” He mumbles, keeping his eyes focused between your thighs. 
“I’m so close,” You whine with a hint of exhaustion in your voice. Vernon senses the tension in your voice and places two fingers inside you without warning, forcing a guttural moan from the back of your throat.
He knew he had you right where he wanted you, his fingers working you open steadily while his other hand keeps your clit stimulated.
It’s a perfect storm, letting you whine louder and louder until you can’t stay quiet anymore.
“I’m gonna cum, please,” Your voice tapers off into a whine, you can barely focus on anything except the heat pooling between your legs and the sensation of Vernon’s touch against your skin. 
“Cum for me, beautiful,” He encourages you and it’s only a few more moments before you let go completely, cumming hard around his fingers as your back arches slightly off the bed. 
“Shit,” You slowly come to your senses and notice that Vernon is working you through your orgasm, fingers slowing down until you’re twitching underneath him.
You take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed before looking at him again. He seems willing to let you recover as long as possible, rubbing his hand gently on your thigh to slowly revive you.
“You were perfect,” He kisses the spot on your thigh that his hand has been protecting and slowly makes his way toward your face. 
“You think so?” Your brain is still foggy enough that you can only question your surroundings.
“Of course, you’re always perfect,” He seems nonchalant, but the way his fingers gently rub your cheek says otherwise. He’s fully lying next to you now, his head propped up by his hand. 
“Wanted you to fuck me, but I’m tired,” You rub your eyes as if to emphasize it and he helps you sit up, adjusting your pillow to prop your head up.
“We can do that tomorrow morning,” He giggles and presses a kiss to your forehead. 
“Promise?”
“I promise, now let’s get cleaned up, sleepyhead,” He eases you up completely off of the bed and leads you through your nighttime routine.
It’s different now, knowing how often he’s seen you do parts of it, but still knows the entire thing by heart and makes sure you don’t miss a single step. He finds your favorite shirt of his for you to wear to bed, internally knowing that his lingering scent will keep you relaxed. 
By the time you’re out of the bathroom, he’s made sure that you’re both completely sobered up. Once you’ve settled back into bed, you indulge him with some pillow talk that feels more natural than you expected.
Eventually, he lets you cuddle up to him before settling on his back. You’re nearly asleep when you hear him mumble into your ear.
“I love you.” 
You fall asleep knowing for certain that he’s the love of your life, and it’s not a question that the feeling is mutual.

How To Woo A Hot Principal
Step 12: The Start of Recovery
Summary: Working at the Weathervane was exactly what you needed. The routine, the people, your co-workers. It certainly helped that a certain tall, blonde, fucking gorgeous woman happened to frequent the cafe. Now some may call hopelessly flirting with your customers inappropriate behavior.
But truly, when it came to Larissa Weems, who could blame you?
I'm so sorry this update took forever, life has been hectic. But! Here we are. 🦐✨

Chapter 11
Cross Posted to AO3 Here
HWTAHP Masterlist
------------------------------------------------------------
Someone was screaming.
This time you could tell it was a woman. The scream was coming from somewhere behind you. You turn, confused and slightly annoyed. It was your mother. She looked terrified. You were staring up at her, reaching your arms out for her and frowning when she took a step back. She wasn’t looking at you though. She was looking at something behind you. You turn around then, eyes searching for whatever has your mother so freaked out.
Oh right.
There on the ground lay your babysitter. You couldn’t remember her name, you think it was something like Lily? Lauren? Anyway, that didn’t matter currently. No, what mattered was that she was very much not moving and alarmingly pale. It's then that you realize you can taste blood. You bring your hands to wipe your mouth and notice they’re covered in blood along with your shirt. You lick your lips, confirming that your mouth is also covered in blood, and find yourself surprised when the taste doesn’t make you nauseous.
You tentatively crouch down by her body noticing the small bite mark on her neck that’s got a bit of blood smeared around it, but it’s not bleeding. You poke her arm, getting progressively more freaked out by her lack of movement. You're turned around by strong hands, coming face to face with your father. He’s saying something but his words feel so far away. You start crying, the gravity of what's happened finally hitting you.
You know the two of you were watching something a few moments ago. And then you remember being starved. And then you had just…bitten her neck. You remember the feeling of your teeth digging into her flesh, the way her blood had gushed into your mouth and your hunger had slowly left. It had tasted so good. And you had been so, so hungry.
You had killed her.
——————
You wake with a start, gasping as you half sit up. You don’t make it very far however thanks to the tight restraints around your wrists. You tug frantically at them, your panic from whatever hellscape of a nightmare you had just had being made oh so much worse by the idea of being tied down to a hospital bed. You’re so busy freaking the fuck out that you didn’t notice James until he’s right in front of you, gently squeezing your shoulder and offering you a sympathetic smile.
“Hey, hey. Deep breaths hon. You’re okay.” He soothes.
“What- Where am I? Whats-Whats going on? What happened?” you question.
“Woah, woah, slow down bestie. I’ll explain everything in a moment you just need to calm down a bit if you can yeah?” he says.
You manage to take a few breaths and lay back against the bed. You close your eyes, taking one last shuddering breath before opening your eyes and staring at James expectantly. He scoots his chair closer and sighs.
“What’s the last thing you remember?” he asks.
“I…I was uhm….I was in the woods I think? I was crying I remember that… and then someone yelled I think and then I remember being in a fuck ton of pain in my chest. That’s the last thing I remember.” You explain.
He nods and hums at that before continuing, “Yeah uh, so you were attacked. You were pretty close to uhm to-“ he chokes up at that shaking his head.
“You uh you almost died. And uh you’ve been-you’ve been in a coma for like two weeks now. Larissa was here every day actually. She was camped out in your room the whole time, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so frazzled-“
“She was here every day?” you ask, your voice much more fragile than you wanted it to be.
“I know you two got into an argument the night you got uh…attacked. I don’t know what it was about but I’m sure you two can work it out. I mean she was really worried about you, would barely leave your side the whole time. She isn’t even upset that you bit her-“
“What?” you interrupted.
“It’s really no biggie babes. I mean I’m a little miffed you didn’t tell me you were a vampire but if you hadn’t even told Larissa about it-“ he explains.
“I-What?” you so eloquently repeat. “I'm not a- What the fuck do you mean I bit Larissa?? Is she okay? What the fuck is going on here James???”
He pauses for a moment, staring at you as he connects the dots. He squints at your very obviously freaked the fuck out expression before he mutters a drawn-out ‘oh.’
“You didn’t know you were a vampire before I just told you, did you?” he asks.
“I’m not a fucking vampire dude! Surely I would fucking know-“ You stop, suddenly remembering the dream you had.
It had felt so real and so familiar. You had thought it was just a really shitty and vivid recurring nightmare but now you weren’t so sure. But surely there would have been physical signs? You sure as shit didn’t have fangs. And you didn’t drink blood. Although you did like your steak borderline raw and as bloody as it could be. And you remember Yoko saying something about you smelling weird. Holy fuck were you actually a vampire?? How the fuck hadn’t you known? How the fuck had you survived without drinking blood for as long as you had?? What-
“I honestly know very little about this whole thing. I’m sure Larissa and your three kids will have answers for you when they get here. But yeah babes, turns out you’re not as boring as we all thought.” He grins
You very lamely flip him off, the restraints around your wrist making it hard to do so. The two of you sit in silence for a bit as you sift through the mess your brain is in. Eventually you sigh, flopping back against the hospital bed and staring up at the ceiling.
“So I bit Larissa huh?” you murmur.
“Yeah, the doctors said it was probably just your body’s reaction to waking up after having blood for the first time in years. They said it was almost like bloodlust? Luckily your girlfriend is one strong woman so she managed to throw you off soon after the shock had happened, and then shortly after the doctor arrived and sedated you.” He says.
“I don’t know that she’s my girlfriend anymore.” You mutter, closing your eyes against the nausea and fresh wave of tears.
“Don’t say that babes, she understands it wasn’t your fault. The only reason she’s not here right now is because they’re stitching her up and making sure she’s alright. She wasn’t even remotely upset with you.”
You simply shake your head at his words. His reassurances are sweet and you are confused about why she would have been visiting you every day if she truly hated you. But a large part of you keeps replaying her words from that night on repeat. You know you’re not the ‘hyde’ she had spoken of, that much was clear now, but you weren’t human. You had attacked her after she had been kind enough to stay by your side. And you couldn’t be sure you hadn’t killed or attacked anyone else. If your lovely resurfaced memory was anything to go by you had certainly killed at least one person. Did that not make you every bit the monster Larissa had accused you of being? Were you not the monster she thought you were?
You're broken from your endless spiral of misery by the sound of the door to your room being opened. Your gaze snaps towards the sound, finding none other than Larissa standing in the doorway. Her eyes are scanning you over, brimming with tears as she rushes towards you. You flinch at her sudden closeness, doing your best to sink back into the thin hospital mattress. Your eyes land on the bandage wrapped around her neck. It covers a fucking huge area and is slightly dark from blood. Your heart squeezes painfully in your chest at the sight, knowing that you’re the one who hurt her. She reaches your side and reaches out to touch your arm, frowning when you rather poorly wriggle away.
“Darling…?” she questions, a hurt look crossing her face.
“I don’t- I don’t want to hurt you again please-“ you let out, your voice wavering.
“Darling I’m fine it wasn’t your- what on earth…?” she mutters, her gaze fixed on your hand that is tied down at your side.
Her expression quickly morphs from concern to anger, her whole body going rigid. She swears under her breath before shooting you a soft smile and saying she’ll be right back. She then exits the room rather quickly leading you and James to share a look of confusion. The confusion is soon answered by Larissa’s angry yell from the hallway outside. You then witness a very heated conversation between her and who you assume is a doctor during which Larissa angrily gestures towards you.
“She’ll be returning to Nevermore with me so that she can receive the help she actually needs. If she goes to whatever institution you plan on sending her not only will that be removing her from the place and people she knows but you’ll almost certainly be locking her up like some kind of criminal? Absolutely not. She is leaving with me and that’s final.” Larissa hisses.
“Miss Weems, with all due respect, she did attack-“ the doctor tries.
“No, she was attacked. And truly thank you for everything you did to keep her alive. But I am taking her home with me today and that is final.” She utters, levelling the poor doctor with a look that would make the strongest person wither and die.
The two exchange a few more words before the doctor leaves. Larissa stands there for a moment, her posture softening as she takes a deep breath. She then comes back into the room, her severe expression softening further. She comes back to your side opting not to touch you and instead resting her hand on the rail of your bed.
“The doctors sorting out a few more things and then you’ll be free to go. I-If you would like you are more than welcome to stay at Nevermore. Not-Not with me of course. I just- It may help to be around other outcasts and there are a few other vampires who may be able to help you with your situation.” She explains, not making eye contact with you and instead focusing intently on the floor.
“I can just go home if it would be easier-“ you murmur.
“I would rather you stay with me- with us at Nevermore. If that’s alright with you?” she asks.
“I think you should go to Nevermore,” James butts in, “It would give me peace of mind knowing you’re not all on your own.”
You nod, agreeing that it would probably be best if you had some help figuring out what you should do going forward now that you know you’re a vampire. And it would seem the students at Nevermore knew a fair bit more about your condition than you did. Larissa seemed relieved by your answer, her shoulders relaxing. James left a few minutes later, saying he was going to pick up some stuff from your place and would bring it round to Nevermore later.
A little while later a nurse comes in, undoing your restraints and explaining what your recovery process should entail. Larissa seems to be paying keen attention to what she’s saying, asking questions that you know you should be paying more attention to. Honestly, you’re feeling far too overwhelmed and tired to listen to what she’s talking about. Your head actually hurts trying to process everything that you’ve learned in the last hour.
You snap back to the present when Larissa gently touches your shoulder, telling you that you’re leaving. You sit up, absentmindedly rubbing at your aching wrists. You turn to stand, swinging your legs to hang over the side of the bed. You attempt to stand up, keyword attempt. The moment you put some of your weight on your feet you all but collapse. Luckily Larissa is there and she catches you, her arms wrapping around your waist and making your stomach flip. You stare up at her, your heart somehow both racing and aching terribly at the same time.
The nurse brings round a wheelchair, explaining that this sort of thing is very normal in patients who’ve been bedridden for as long as you have. She says something about you being back to normal in a few days, simply needing your body to readjust to everything. Larissa gently squeezes your hand, thanking her for all her help before wheeling you away.
You don’t know what the fuck has happened in the last two weeks. You don’t know how you’ve been a vampire your whole fucking life and had no clue. Suffice to say, you don’t know much. But you do know that even after everything that’s happened, you still love Larissa Weems. And you’re willing to do whatever it takes to make things right between you.
——————
Your recovery was going well, all things considered. You had been out of the hospital and at Nevermore for about a week now. The day after Larissa had brought you back from the hospital you were introduced to Coach Vlad, apparently, not only was he rather skilled in physical therapy but was also a very old vampire. He had essentially taken you under his wing so to speak, telling you an awful lot about vampire history and teaching you about where most vamps got their blood from, how much they needed each day and all that.
Yoko, Enid and Wednesday had taken to visiting you in the evenings. The first night they had explained everything they knew and how they found it out. You were slightly disturbed Wednesday had been keeping such close tabs on you but were ultimately grateful. Yoko had explained that she had only ever heard of the practice you had been subjected to and was quite horrified it still happened in this day and age.
When they had left you then spent the night laying in your rather godddamn comfortable bed staring up at the ceiling as you essentially screamed internally. You were quite honestly flipping the fuck out. You kept asking yourself how you had missed it. How you could have possibly gone for so long not having any fucking clue. And that led to questions like how much your parents knew. They had to know you were a vampire and they had to have been the ones to…well try and change you to be more ‘normal.’ And if that wasn’t an extra large dose of parental trauma to add to the ever-growing list. What fun times.
You had booked an appointment with Dr. Kinbott the next morning.
You were currently deep in conversation with Vlad, taking a walk around campus to get your legs working again. You were taking a break in the quad when you turned just a bit too far and ended up wincing as the scars on your chest throbbed. Ever the attentive friend Vlad immediately checked you over and started asking a million questions.
“Vlad, I’m fine its just the scars. No big deal.” You huffed.
“Hmm, your healing should get better overtime. You have been without blood for a very long time. I’ll chat to Mari and see if she can’t whip up something with those plants of hers,” he comments.
“Mari?”
“Yeah, that’s what most of us call Marilyn. She’s a bit odd that one but a great teacher.” He hums.
“Oh…OHHH. OH wow, I am serving hella dyslexic right now. Oh my god.”
“I’ve been exposed to your silly words for a week now and yet you still come up with things that confuse the shit out of me,” he sighs.
“I thought you spelt her name like Mary – Lin. This whole time. I look dyslexic as fuck right now.”
“…Are you not dyslexic as fuck?” he grins.
You slap him, snorting and grumbling. The two of you take a seat on one of the benches, basking in an amicable silence. You turn when you hear a set of heels echoing against the stone of the hallways, You catch a glimpse of white hair disappearing around a corner and slump in your seat. Vlad notices and nudges you, raising a brow at your sudden down demeanour.
That was the one fuck up in your otherwise stellar recovery; Larissa was avoiding you. She had helped you settle in on the first evening but soon left you to your own devices. Part of you was relieved, if she was around you two would have to have a super difficult conversation or multiple difficult conversations. And you honestly didn’t know if you could handle that on top of everything else. On the other hand, you missed her dearly, you wanted to talk to her and just be with her. You wanted to share your worries with her, talk to her about everything that was going on in your mind. And know what was going on in hers. Know how she was feeling if she was upset with you or hurting. You missed her so much.
“She misses you too,” Vlad comments, breaking you from your silent musings.
“I’m not sure she does. I’m not sure I blame her if she doesn’t,” you sigh.
“Look, I don’t know what happened between the two of you. But I have worked with Larissa for a long time. She definitely cares deeply about you, anyone can see that. She’s just withdrawing to protect herself, and she probably thinks to protect you. She is a remarkable woman but she has been hurt so deeply by so many. She truly believes she is the cause of everyone’s problems. Take some time to figure out your feelings, but don’t give up on her, on the two of you.”
“Wow…I didn’t know you had it in you to do the deep and meaningfuls.I had assumed you were the ‘I don’t talk about my feelings, I am a rock’ type,” you joke.
“Yeah yeah, you can keep your feeling masking humour. Just promise you actually listened to what I said,” He snorts.
“I’m listening, I promise.” You huff, crossing your arms, “But if she does hate me then you’re buying me fuck tons of ice cream.”
“Deal,” he smirks.
“So, am I ever going to get a pair of sick fangs or…?” you grin.
“They should come back after some time, due to the enhanced healing,” he remarks, “I for one can’t wait until they come in and you sound like an even bigger dumbass trying to talk around them.”
“Yeah that’s sic- wait what?”

Can't Trust A Supe
Part 4: You Got My Eyes
Masterlist
Warnings: mentions a graphic death, kidnapping, threats of killing.
       
   Homelander flipped a switch on the wall and the room was illuminated. It was some kind of kid's bedroom. The whole room looked vaguely Homelander-ish. Dark blue walls and crimson rug in front of a doll house modeled after the vought tower. It was hellish, I propped myself up on my elbow to get a better look around the room. The bed I was laying on had a Homelander comforter draped over it. 
         "Nice room right? It used to be a study but we have to make sacrifices for the ones we care about." He came over and sat down on the edge of the bed as he spoke. I quickly moved to the corner of the bed furthest from him and tucked my knees close to my chest. Did he say he cared about me? What the actual fuck is happening. 
       "Where am I?" I say quickly before he can speak again. He tilted his head to the side then gave me what I can only describe as a serial killer's smile. 
         "Simone, you're home." He put a hand on my knee. I think he was trying to comfort me or grab me. I wasn't sure but either way I didn't want it. I scurried off the bed and tripped over an A-train action figure. 
 catching myself I grab onto the desk chair that I subsequently lifted to my chest like I was a lion tamer. Homelander stood up from the bed and approached me with his hands out like he was trying to show he wasn't trying to hurt Me.
         "How the fuck do you know my name!" 
         "I took your ID from your wallet when that walking skid mark tried to rob you. I knew I recognized your face. The fact it was such a horrible fake ID also clued me in." He grabbed the chair by its leg and set it down. I pressed myself against the wall. I was desperate to get away from him. I didn't understand what he was saying to me. 
         "Homelander please please don't kill me. I was a kid, I didn't even see anything. I was like 7! I haven't told anyone anything you don't have to kill me or do whatever this all is. You'll never see me again, please just let me go!" It was begging but at this point I was willing to grovel at his feet if it meant I had a chance of getting out of here in one piece. He knew who my mother was, who my dad was. He was trying to tie up loose ends. 
        He looked almost offended. He shook his head as he looked at me up and down. 
        "When I saw you I thought I was seeing a ghost. You look so much like Diana." He whispered the last part like it was just meant for his ears. He grabbed me by my chin and rested his thumb on the dimple in my chin. He rubbed it gently. "One major difference, she didn't have this cleft chin." He took a deep breath and pulled his hand away from me. He tried to look in my eyes but I was trying everything in my very limited power to stop that from happening. "Do you know who I am?" 
          "Homelander?" I wasn't sure what he was asking. Of course I knew who he was. I had planned to kill him for most of my life. His lips curled up slightly as if just hearing his own name made him happy. 
          "I'm your father Simone."  The words hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like the air was knocked out of me. He was insane.
          "Get away from me. Get away, you are crazy!" I get progressively louder as the sentence continues.  I climbed up on the desk that was pushed up against the wall, blocking my path to the door and jumped off of it but he grabbed my ankle and pulled me back over to him. He grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me a bit.
         "Don't do that, don't run, listen to me. I thought I was crazy too! But I'm sure of it. You have my chin! And powers. Your mother and I always dreamed about having kids together!" His grip tightened and began to hurt. "She never told me she was pregnant, that's why she left me. She was scared! Scared of what Vaught might try to do to you." He had this whole elaborate delusion planned out. He stared at me for a few seconds as his breathing evened out and he calmed down. He let go of my shoulders and I fell to the ground. Tears finally started to rolled down my cheeks. I knew he was wrong. I just wasn't sure how to go about telling him that. 
        "I don't have your powers." I say sheepishly from the ground. He took a deep breath and smiled. 
         "Oh sure you do." He said as he turned and walked out for a second only to return seconds after. He was holding the envelope Billy had given to me. "It says right here." He thumbed through the files inside until he found the paper he needed. "Anatomy kinesis. That doesn't really roll off the tongue but your mom was always the more literal one between us two. She never had any sense of poetry." He held the paper down so I could see it. "You have X-ray vision, so do I. Sure you aren't strong or fast but you got my eyes." He said with a laugh. "I saw them. Last night, Your eyes glowed. I mean yeah they glowed blue but I don't know too much about supe inherited traits. No one does. " I shook my head and looked down. He was a fucking idiot. A delusional one at that.
       "That's hardly evidence, you're grasping at straws Homelander." His upper lip twitched a little as he looked down at me. He grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me off my feet to meet him eye to eye. I was forced to stare into his cold dead eyes. 
       "Do you know how I killed your adopted father? I took this hand and I shoved it down his throat until I felt his jaw snap and his esophagus tear open." He smiled wide as I saw a soft blue light shine against his face. Not long after, I was looking through his body and everyone else's on every floor of Vaught tower. Hundreds of bodies all moving at once. "There it is, you've got daddy's eyes." He cooed. I could see a small red light form behind his eyes. I calmed down and let my vision go back to normal. Homelander's eyes were glowing red. It was like he was trying to show me up or something. Seeing them glow like that took me right back to that day. I could see his heat vision slicing through walls and people all the same as the ground broke beneath me. 
       "Let go of me! You are a monster a fucking psychotic killer!" I screamed as I twisted and kicked. He let me drop to the floor. 
        "I was hoping this could be a happy moment for us but I see your mother and Alphonse poisoned you against me very early on. I won't give up though I promise you that. You will learn to love me as much as I love you!" He screamed so loud the window in the room shook. I crawled under the desk and cowered there until I heard his footsteps leave. He slammed the door behind him and things fell from the shelves. 
        I poked my head out to make sure he was really gone. I couldn't do anything other than cry. He didn't seem like he wanted me dead but this was almost worse. Why wouldn't he just get a blood test done? He could have had it taken when I was still passed out. None of this made any sense. Grabbing the desk I pull myself up. It was only then I realized I had bandages on most of my finger tips. I pulled one off carefully, they were all sore. My fingernail was gone and left behind was the soft bloody skin underneath. I must have ripped my own nails off when I was trying to get away from him. I knew he was strong but I didn't think his skin was so strong my nails would bend and break clean off. I guess I was lucky my fingertips didn't break. I would have to be more careful in the future. I'm as strong as the average man but that's still nothing compared to him.
           I stared into the back of my hand as I tried to make the nails grow faster. The keratin in the quick of my nail bed was tricky to make grow just like hair. It's a long and tedious process. A cut was simply, make the blood clot then have the cells replicate quickly till the wound is closed. Keratin was more hands on. Once I got it going I put the bandage back over it. I figured I better conserve my energy.
      The glass in the window was bulletproof and thick. The door wasn't locked but I knew he'd be out there. I wasn't under any illusion. He was probably watching me. My every move from trying to get the window to open to the breaks I was taking to cry. My shoulders were killing me. I pulled my sleeve up to see a big bruised handprint. He was unhinged and didn't seem to know his strength. 
        What was he doing? Did he want me to go out there? The room didn't have a bathroom, no food or water. I couldn't stay here forever. Does he know I need to eat? It had been almost a day since I had food. I would have had a full meal if I knew I was going to be held prisoner in Homelander Disneyland. 
        The smell of food filled my nostrils. Was this on purpose? Was he trying to lure me out? I tried to ignore it. I sat at the desk and laid my head down on my arms. 
        The door opened behind me and I jumped to my feet. 
        "Foods here, it took longer than expected." He said as he left the door wide open for me. He just walked away. I took a few steps out slowly and looked around. The room I was in was at the end of the hall and looked directly into the living room. It looked like the founding fathers exploded all over the walls. American flags and eagles were all over. It was so clean I could see my own reflection in the hardwood floor as I walked down the hall. He was sitting at a small table that looked out over a huge window. Chinese takeout boxes were littering the counters. 
         "You need to eat?" I asked as I walked cautiously to the table. There was a plate made for me complete with training chopsticks. He slurped up some chow mein before wiping his mouth on a napkin. 
        "Of course I eat what a stupid question. Sit down." He says as he points to the chair across from him. I hesitate for a moment until he kicked the leg of the empty chair, making it jut out from under the round table. I jump from the sudden sound and sit down in it quickly. He gave me a wide smile before returning to his food. I wasn't sure if I should trust the food. I guess if he was going to kill me he'd want to do it with his bare hands so food was probably the only safe thing in this apartment. I grabbed the training chopsticks and started to eat. 
         My eyes wander back around the room. It was really odd. The paintings, the gold colored furniture. It all seems fake. I wonder if he actually lived here. 
        "So how is it?" He asked as he leaned back and watched me eat.
        "Oh um it's great." I say in between bites. 
        "Good good." He paused for a second to suck his teeth. "also If you try to kill me again I won't kill you but I'll make you wish I had." He says it so casually. I thought I'd get whiplash from how quickly he changed the subject. I'm taken so off guard the food gets stuck in my throat. I start to cough as he stares at me with his arms crossed. I manage to swallow the food and look at him surprised. "Keep those eyes to yourself missy. I'll forgive you this once because you didn't know I was your dad but if it happens again I'll be very upset." He could switch between a cold detached tone and a strict one so quickly. I just nod, scared anything I say will get me in trouble. He didn't seem satisfied. "Well don't you have anything to say to me young lady?" I looked around the room as if the answer would be written on the walls. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Say you're sorry Simone. Say I'm sorry for trying to kill you and scratch you." 
        "Oh um I'm sorry for trying to kill you and scratch you, h-homelander." I sink down in the chair a bit. It felt humiliating to comply so easily but I think this was nice Homelander, I didn't want to make him angry again. 
      "Good girl, see mutual respect." He says as he takes a spring roll from my plate and eats it. I didn't hear an apology from him but he probably didn't think he needed to give one. 
      Dinner was surprisingly uneventful. He didn't seem like he was in any kind of rush to do anything. After dinner he kicked his feet up on his coffee table and leaned back like he might fall asleep. I thought it was odd he kept the suit on the whole time but a lot of things are odd about him. I stayed at my seat at the table. 
      "Who's Uncle Billy?" He asked with his eyes closed. It was like a stab in the chest. I had forgotten all about them. Did Hughie ever get a hold of them? Did they come looking? Did he find them? 
       "I um I don't-"
       "Don't fucking lie to me." He hummed. "I saw the name and number on the envelope with the files. He gave them to you?" He didn't budge from his relaxed position on the couch as he interrogated me. 
       "No no he was an old man from the last shelter I was staying at. He was a sweet old guy. It was the only paper I had so he wrote it down on it." The lie seemed believable enough. Homelander opened one eye and looked at me with it. It was the side eye from hell.
       "Really? I called it. No one answered." I began to sweat and I could only guess he could hear my pulse elevate. I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm. 
       "Weird, I called it last week. Maybe his phone got shut off." It was a perfect lie. No way to fact check. An untraceable burner phone. Thank God for Billy's clearly valid paranoia.  
       "You're not going to talk to him anymore. Old men are perverts." He said as he closed his eyes again. 
       "Of course." I had evaded suspicion this time. What am I going to do if bily and his crew come sniffing around? 
       "Say you want to go for a ride? I wanna introduce you to someone I'm close to." Homelander said as he sat up and clapped his hands against his thighs. His unpredictable nature was getting to me more than it should. 
       "I was actually hoping to go lay down." I say in a quiet voice scared I'd upset him. He looked at me with one of his unreadable expressions that I was starting to get used to. Then he smiled and shook his head no
        "No, I want you to meet her right now." He said in a fake sweet voice. He grabbed my arm and pushed the table out of the way and opened the window. It was a straight drop down at least 50 stores. I pulled back from the edge but his tight grip stopped me from getting too far. He grabbed me and took flight out the window.

I'm Serious Where Are You Coming From 150 160 Follower Extravaganza the Second
(I pushed this back a week for irl stuff and got another 10 followers...)
I did the last one of these at the end of JANUARY y'all what the fuck!! Hello new followers I hope you are enjoying my shenanigans and carefully (that's a lie) curated TGCF #stuff.
In celebration of hitting 150 160 followers, let's do another giveaway thingamajig! If you were around last time, the options and rules have changed a little, but not much.
If you are one of my followers (hello), if you so desire, you may:
Send in a one-word prompt for a ficlet(unless I get a ton I’ll aim to fill them all, but please be patient)
Send me a number from 1-13, and I will share either a snippet of the corresponding WIP, a fun fact, or just the premise of the fic, depending on how much progress I’ve made on it. Or if you have any questions about one of my posted fic, you're welcome to ask them. (Note: a few of the WIPs are NSFW.)
B-Sides: If you like one of my fics and wish you could've seen a certain scene from the POV of someone else, or perhaps what happened before or after a scene, you may request a ficlet expanding on the topic. I will do my best to fulfill the request. (ex. What was Hua Cheng thinking while he was at the Gambler's Den in Dirty Laundry? What happened before Xie Lian was turned into a ferret in Longevity Noodle? etc. etc. etc.)

What is morning musume
im glad you asked.
i really love a video game series called rhythm heaven and have my whole life! as a teen, when i was nervous i would legitimately have lockstep loaded up on my DS ready to tap away at. i was at senior prom SOBBING bc i got stuck at a house party and the whole time i was crying i was tapping away at lockstep lol.
i wondered suddenly — what else was its creator, tsunku, up to?
turns out it was a LOT! i knew he did music for an idol group but that <- was the extent of my knowledge.
morning musume is the group (along with other groups) that tsunku made/composed all/a lot of the music for and because of this a lot of it sounds fun and rhythm heaven-y or just fucking good. ultimately i am a tsunku fan.
but i like 黄金期, golden era! da best!
their second album is wonderful. a ton of it is wonderful. its insane how much and how good this music is. i listened to “all for one and one for all” and thought oh how rhythm heaven-like! then i listened to love machine and renai revolution and manatsu no kousen i was hooked. do consider giving it a try.
they also were on a lot of variety shows but had their own, and it was extremely fun!!! and they also did like plays and movies and stuff. i’ve become really invested in archiving stuff and making it accessible— im getting stuff off a VHS from 2002 that hasnt been seen in. who knows how long. its nowhere online that i can find! i think preserving these things and sharing them is so important. its kinda become my passion recently, archival/uploading, and has pushed me to actually really try to learn japanese (making good progress!!!)
anyway. thats a little bit about morning musume. thank you.
ピースピース!

Passing Through
ao3 // masterlist
Tumblr media
*Summary: “Sir… I’m afraid we’re going to have to ask you to turn around, and drop your pants.” Hoffman didn't think this situation could get any worse. (Saw AU for the Mule 2014)
*Rating: M for Mature Audiences
*Content/Tags: Crack, Crack Treated Seriously, AU, Alternate Universe, Drugs, Drug Trafficking, Crime
*Status: Chapter 1 of 3/IN PROGRESS. Chapter 2 can be found here.
Author's Note: So uhhh this won't be as graphic as The Mule 2014 but it's still an AU based on the movie. This is still a fucking nasty idea that my friend @cubestrahm wanted to see come to fruition so badly and I'd do anything for her <3
“Sir… I’m afraid we’re going to have to ask you to turn around, and drop your pants.” A security agent cleared his throat. The man sighed as he was stripped of any sense of shame and stripped for the two agents. The agents behind him silently pantomimed ‘rock, paper, scissors’ over who was going to examine the man’s ass and see if in fact he was being used as a mule. The man clearly lost and moved closer to their detainee. He grabbed a glove and started to probe the other man. “Nothing.”
“Right. So can I go?” The man finally said, pulling his pants back up.
“Well… no.” The agent replied, “Wait here with Officer Martinez.”
“Fine.” He sighed in response. The female officer stood across from him in the holding room as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. John was going to kill him if this took any longer. The brand new clock hanging just over the door frame told him it was 3:23. He and Amanda were supposed to meet John’s driver at the airport at 3:09. He ran his hand through his hair as he waited in silence with this worker. The door opened and rather than letting him go free, there were two more serious looking agents. Another woman and man duo. The woman approached him and said sternly,
“Mark Hoffman, you’re under arrest for the transportation of illegal substances into the United States.” She slapped his wrist with handcuffs and pulled him out to a separate interrogation room. This was definitely going to take longer than a few minutes.
---
Mark Hoffman hadn’t wanted to do this. He didn’t just wake up one day and had an urge to fill his stomach up with a crap ton of cocaine filled condoms just for shits and giggles. The real reason he was doing it was simple. He’d gotten involved with one of John Kramer’s little sidekicks, Amanda. The girl had a mouth on her and an attitude to match. When Mark was about to pick her up she spat in his face and tried leaving a size seven boot mark on the beat cop’s face. He was able to restrain her, but the girl screamed, kicked and bit at Mark’s direction like a feral animal afraid to be put down. He kept a foot firm on the back of her neck as he managed to wrestle away a wallet from her pocket that had her real id on her. She wasn’t even thirty. Just a couple of months younger than his own sister, Angelina. He knew that he should book her. Hell some people in his department might add on a resisting arrest and assault of a police officer just to really stick it to the woman. He pulled her back up onto her feet, only for her to charge him blindly. The wind got knocked out of him as his back made contact with a brick wall. He took his hands and placed them firmly on her shoulders.
“Stop. I’m not going to arrest you. If you just fucking calm down…” He told her as she tried to fight free from his hands. She stopped long enough to hear the morally dubious cop out.
“What the hell do you want from me then, huh? You want me to jerk you off?” She snarled at him
“No. Just promise me you’ll go to rehab.”
“It can’t be that easy.” She rolled her eyes and laughed at him
“It’s that easy. I’ll take you right now to a clinic.”
“Fine.” She huffed as Hoffman pulled her into his squad car. He pulled up to a clinic he was familiar with and opened the door for her. She crawled out from the back and waited outside for a second while he got back into his car. With a heavy sigh, she trudged towards the door and that was the last that Hoffman thought he’d ever see of her. Clearly the lesson didn’t stick.
---
“Mark Hoffman. Police…”
“Detective.” Mark piped up
“… Detective.” The man corrected himself. He couldn’t hide the rolling of his eyes as the ‘detective’ insisted upon the distinction between his role and that of a beat cop. “Anyway, I’m Agent Peter Strahm, and this is my partner Lindsey Perez. We’ve got your file here. Graduated from police academy at 20… been at your precinct your whole career. Why the hell would you risk all that just to smuggle some fucking drugs into the country?”
“You’re operating on the assumption that I’m carrying drugs on me.”
“Well we’ve already searched your luggage, and there wasn’t anything there…” The female agent started. While her partner stayed seated across from Hoffman, she paced the room behind him like a shark circling its kill. Hoffman was all too familiar with the tactic as an officer of the law.
“Again. You’re operating under the assumption that I am acting as a drug mule. The only problem with your assumption is… that you’re entirely wrong.” Hoffman shrugged. He saw the blood veins starting to pop out of the male agent’s forehead before he took a deep breath.
“Listen.” He said, with one last appeal at Hoffman’s sense of justice. “Just tell us now, you might get slapped on the wrist. Five to ten years if you rat out the person you’re carrying for.”
“I would, if I had an inkling what you were talking about.” Hoffman replied. Strahm threw his hands up in the air and stepped out into the hallway, probably to call his and Perez’s supervisor. Perez leaned in against the table as her partner stood on the other side of the wall. Not a word was exchanged between the two of them until Strahm stepped back into the room.
“Legal precedence says we’re allowed to detain you for up to 4 days or until you’ve emptied your bowels twice. Or you could just submit to an x-ray scan.”
“And my answer will be the same as it was in security, I don’t want a scan.”
“Fine. Then you’ll be joining us in a nice little hotel room.” Strahm slapped the cuffs back onto Hoffman’s wrists and walked around the table to pull the suspect up onto his feet.
“Kinky.” Mark muttered under his breath. The two detectives looked at him, but neither managed to pick up what he had said. They paraded him out of the airport proper and shoved him into a shitty Chevy caprice, Agent Strahm’s if Mark had to take a wild stab in the dark. He watched out the window as five different lanes of traffic merged down into three then two to get them out of the airport. They drove approximately five miles from the airport and pulled into a second-rate hotel’s parking lot. Lindsey tucked Hoffman’s head under the door frame as she pulled him out and the agents dragged him up to a room somewhere in the middle of the hotel. From a glance, Hoffman saw no one but federal agents in the hallways, they probably bought out this floor to keep him from escaping in the dead of night. Strahm opened the door for Hoffman before shoving the bulkier man into the room. It was bare-bones. A bed, a bathroom, and a TV. Everything a businessman could need between flights out of town. Lindsey manhandled him in a similar fashion when a third agent showed up behind the two of them and sat down in the chair across from Mark’s bed.
“Here’s the rules. Either you stay here for four days straight under constant surveillance by either Perez, Agent Erickson, or myself or you submit to an x-ray exam. Whichever one comes first.” Strahm explained. “Get comfortable. You’re going to lose your mind if you don’t find someway to occupy your time here.”
“Thanks for the tip, counselor.” Hoffman rolled his eyes at the special agent’s fake pleasantries.
“If you need to use the bathroom, you tell Agent Erickson. If you need food, Erickson.” Peter continued. Hoffman opened his mouth to say something sarcastic, but kept it shut when he realized it probably wouldn’t look good in a court case if he had mouthed off to the agent more than he had already had. He honestly thought, ‘and if I need a hand job, Erickson’ was pretty funny in his head. If only Strahm had any sense of humor. He slid back onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling of his room. So this would be his cell for the next half a week. He only hope he could hold in the drugs long enough to get through these next four days.
---
“I’m home.” Hoffman kicked his shoes off by the door, yelling into the house. His calls go unanswered for a moment, but then his sister shouted something. “I can’t hear you, Ang.”
“I said I’m in here!” She yelled back. He followed her voice and found her in the process of cleaning her room. “Hi Mark.”
“Hi Ang.” He leaned against the door frame before asking her, “What are you up to?”
“Just reorganizing my closet.” A sweater flew past his face for emphasis on his sister’s point.
“I see. What do you want for dinner?”
“Anything’s fine.” She hummed to a tune rotating through her mental library. “Oh by the way…”
“Yeah?”
“Some guy stopped by earlier. Said you knew someone named Amanda and that she had work for you?”
“I don’t know an ‘Amanda’.” He played coy, even though he vividly remembered the addict he’d put into rehab. Or so he thought. What kind of ‘work’ did she have for him? “Thanks for taking that.”
“You’re welcome. He left a tape player, it should be on the kitchen table.”
“I’ll check it out.” He turned on his heels back to the kitchen and grabbed the player off the table to listen.
“Hello Detective.” A low voice started. Even in her deepest imitation of a man’s voice, Amanda couldn’t have recorded this. “You don’t know me, but I am the man who Amanda works for. I’m sure you and your co-workers have been eager to put a stop to my empire. You took pity on Amanda and for that I thank you, however ‘thanks’ doesn’t run a business. Meet with her tomorrow at 2 at the bar around the corner from your precinct to discuss the work you’ll be doing for me. You might ask yourself ‘Why would I work for a criminal when I’m a man of the law?’ and I will tell you right now. It’s your love for you sister. The only tether you have to this world. I will break said tether if you decide that you think you’re better than me and try to avoid my job I’ve given to you.” Like that the tape stopped. Mark flipped it over just to make sure there wasn’t anything else recorded on the opposite side of the tape. Something that could pinpoint where this asshole was and take him in before the meeting was supposed to take place but he listened in vain. He slide the player away from him and paced the kitchen. He tried to think of something he could do that would prevent Angie from being a causality in his lapse in judgment, now coming back to bite him in the ass. He ran his fingers through his hair before Angie interrupted his thoughts in person this time,
“It can’t be that hard to figure out what pizza shop you want to order from tonight.” She smiled at him
“Pick whichever one you want.” He sighed
“You okay?”
“Yeah. Rough day at work.” He lied to her. The less she knew about this whole deal the better.
“Okay. I’ll call in the order, but you’re driving to get it.” She laughed
“That’s fine.” He shrugged, trying to bask in the warmth of her presence and calm himself down. The rest of the night was uneventful, but Mark didn’t get a bit of sleep. As he was told, he showed up to the bar. There was no one in the bar except Amanda. She looked oddly calm.
“Detective.” Her expression was blank… he didn’t know if that was an improvement over the feral animal he ‘saved’ that day or if this was just some lobotomized version of the woman.
“Just get to the point. What does your guy need from me?”
“John. His name is John.” She spit at him. The pieces started falling into place in Hoffman’s mind. Her boss was John Fucking Kramer. His body went frigid. His whole department had been searching for the man for at least five years, and now this man had Hoffman in his sights. Worst than that, Angie was in the crossfire because of him and his compassion for someone that reminded him a bit too much of his sister.
“Fucking hell” were the only words that he was able to sputter out.
“Yeah.” Her expression turned into a crooked smile as she saw the wheels spinning in the detective’s head.
“What does John want from me?”
“Simple. You’re coming with me to Thailand and we’re bringing back drugs for John.” She told him like it was a trip to the corner store.
“Are you two fucking insane? I don’t even have a passport…”
“Already taken care of.” She slipped a royal blue document from her pants pocket and shoved it into Mark’s hand
“How did you get my info to forge this?”
“It’s amazing what you can find out with just a badge number, Detective.” She started to walk away from him
“Wait.” He turned towards her. She stopped and faced him once more, crossing her arms in front of her. “When are we going?”
“Next week. Meet me here.”
“Fine.” He grumbled and went back to work like that whole exchange hadn’t happened
---
The trip was uneventful. Many people in his life had told Mark that he should visit Thailand one day. He’d love the beaches, the food, the culture… and he got none of that. Amanda dragged his ass at butt o’clock in the morning to the supplier, making him wait for what felt like hours in five minutes as she grabbed a duffel bag’s worth of cocaine. She took him back to the hotel and explained how he was going to smuggle the cocaine back into the States. She spent nearly 3 hours tying up condoms full of the drugs and placed it before Mark. He only half-listened to the woman before her hand was on his thick throat and the other was forcing down the first balloon through his mouth. He nearly choked on the foreign intrusion before mouthing off to her.
“You could have warned me first.”
“Call it a right of passage. Open back up.” Her grip stayed firm on his neck. He begrudgingly opened his lips up for her and she took a handful this time and pushed it into his mouth. His throat had never hurt so badly. Tears escaped from the corners of his eyes until it was finally over. He ran a hand over his stomach, it didn’t feel like there was anything inside of him. Would they all just burst out of him at once like a chest buster with one wrong breath? “And this….” Amanda shook a nondescript bottle at him before taking out four pills. Rather than fight it again he swallowed them. “That should block you up for long enough… but just in case your fat ass goes through it faster…” Another four pills went down the hatch. He barely had time to recover before the woman shoved his passport into his hand and threw his bags at him. They got onto the plane without a word spoken between them, and Amanda all but abandoned him during security. They had a set timeline that they needed to get to John’s car by. When his bag didn’t show up and he looked at his watch. He didn’t have time to wait, so he booked it through security. Just as he thought he was in the clear was when the illusion all came crashing down. And that was why he was here now.

How much of the lies/rumors about MJ are due to the general public's insistence that he must be gay, and then their own homophobia about that idea?
Oh, a whole lot - and don't forget the sexism and racism, as they are a core part of it too (reminder to everyone that the "Wacko Jacko" nickname The Sun gave to him was comparing him to a monkey toy, something Michael was obviously mad about).
Long before the drastic changes to his looks, or the wild rumors, Michael was already seen as weird because he did not fit the stereotype of men in general (and black men in particular).
He was kind, nurturing, good with kids, emotional, shy, naive, and his biggest dream was being a parent - these are still largely seen as "female" traits today. Michael grew up in the sixties and seventies.
Even more "shocking", he was a black man that was not really aggressive, and not only was he not hypersexual, he was OPENLY voicing his discomfort with people prying into his business/insisting that, come on, he HAD to be into fucking groupies, strippers and hookers like most guys in the industry, right?
Add in him being a fashion icon and wearing a ton of make-up that gave him a bit of an androgynous look every now and then, and you have people CONVINCED he must be into men.
And once again, homophobes still think gay = pedo to this day. Michael was born in 1958. He was already the target of gay rumors, and treated like a big freak for it, before AIDS was a thing. Before "Don't ask, don't tell." Laws forbidding same-sex relationships between consenting adults had not been deemed inconstitutional in the USA until 2003.
It's crazy to me that plenty of so called "progressive" people today act are still willing to pretend there's any real evidence against him, not just because the freaking FBI was secretly investigating him for 13 years and found nothing, but because the so called "Red flags" in Michael's behavior was literally just a bunch lies to make a (supposedly) gay man look like a predator.
But there's still one more factor contribuiting to Michael being labeled as gay: people not understanding that men can be sexually abused AND be traumatized by it because "guys always want sex."
Before he had even reached ten years of age, Michael Jackson had to sing in strip clubs (and in his own words, see adults acting like animals), had to hear his brothers having sex with groupies in the same room he was in (and it wasn't uncommon for the girls to be treated horribly, which deeply upset him), had to deal with his father cheating on his mom in the next room, and during some performances, while interacting with the audience he was made to look under the skirts of adult women to play the role of "pervy kid" even after he repeatedly told everyone in the Jackson 5 team, including his father, that he DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT.
Seriously, IMAGINE if the roles were reversed and a bunch of adults were making a 7-year-old girl pulled down the pants of grown men to see their underwear/genitals as a "joke."
As Michael became a teenager, the situation only got worse, as all of the adults who never heard the word "boundaries" in their lives were bothered by the fact that Michael was not going around having sex with a bunch of women like brothers were, so they kept paying prostitutes go to "help him out". His older sister, Rebbie, said in an interview that a male relative of theirs paid two women to take the virginity of 15-year-old Michael and locked him a room with them against his will, hoping he'd just "give in." She did not say if the women actually managed to do anything with her brother.
Again, IMAGINE the reactions if an adult man locked a 15-year-old girl in a room with two adult men that were paid to have sex with her, despite both her age AND THE FACT THAT SHE ISN'T THERE WILLINGLY! People would rightfully be disturbed by it and if anything happened, it'd be considered abuse and the relative in question would be a proxy-rapist.
But Michael was a "man" (he was a freaking kid, my god) and "guys always want it", so him not being cool with this was seen as him being weird and a "faggot."
There's a reason bastards like Evan Chandler picked false accusations of pedophilia to extort Michael - they knew people didn't understand nor empathize with the real reason for Michael's "weirdness."
And sadly enough, things aren't much different now.

Idk if it’s the same for anyone else but I personally haven’t sent asks for stalker because I thought you would be getting loads of them! I’d love to see more if anything comes to mind, the first idea that came to me is that maybe someone else starts stalking Soap?
Haha, no not really! I got quite a few today, but for the most part, I don't really get asks for it as much! If I'm slow to posting something, it's usually because I haven't gotten a ton of requests for it!
--
Ghost wasn't sure why he'd let Soap drag him to this. He wanted to make Johnny happy and part of that was meeting his friends, fully, he knew that. But... fuck, Ghost hated meeting new people.
Technically, the only new people he'd be meeting was Gaz and Alex, but... two was more than he'd like to be meeting that day. One was more than he'd like to be meeting.
Whatever, it was important to Soap and... so Ghost went. It was at Alex's house, which was decent considering his age, but it was apparently a family house, so not surprising. He'd inherited it after the death of both of his parents, according to Soap.
Ghost had decided to opt for a half facemask that Soap had gifted him, which also had a skull print on it. Soap seemed to have picked up on that little hyperfixation of his, because almost everything Soap had ever gotten him had something to do with skulls. Not that Ghost was complaining, since he loved skull stuff.
Ghost ran a hand down his face as they arrived. Soap had dragged them to a grocery store and had them pick up a bottle of wine to bring as a gift for Alex and Gaz. "They've only been together for two months," Soap mumbled as he knocked. "But we don't bring it up."
"Okay?" Ghost didn't care. He was not judging someone for going for it. "Who proposed?"
"Alex." Soap nodded a bit before smiling as the door was answered by Gaz, who smiled brightly in return. "Gaz!"
Gaz hugged him and nodded a little to Ghost, though Ghost definitely picked up on the glance Gaz gave him. Ghost didn't like it. It was a "I know what you are" glance. Ghost felt picked open, but Rodolfo and Soap had both reassured Ghost that Gaz was not a threat. Gaz was easily influenced, apparently, and Rodolfo had managed to tell him that Ghost was a good guy.
Ghost wasn't sure he believed that Gaz accepted that, but he was sure Rudy would keep Gaz from trying to tell Soap to leave. Rodolfo would have to or Ghost would just simply call the police and inform them that he knew where Alejandro Vargas was.
"It's nice to meet you." Gaz nodded to Ghost when he and Soap finally broke apart and offered a hand.
Ghost tensed but accepted the handshake and nodded. "You too." He mumbled.
Soap relaxed a little beside him and Ghost couldn't help but feel bad. He knew Soap wanted this to go well so desperately. "What did Alex cook? It smells good."
"He roasted a chicken." Gaz smiled and let them in. "How are both of you?"
Ghost let Soap answer, just kind of trailing behind him to the table, where a man, he assumed Alex, was setting the table. Ghost kind of cringed at still being the tallest in the room, though it did allow him to intimidate. Being huge was a double edged blade. On the one hand, he could use it to intimidate and scare people. On the other hand, he stuck out like a sore thumb when he was trying to blend in.
Ghost pulled out Soap's chair like a proper gentleman and then sat down himself, unsure if he should offer help to Alex. Though, from the looks of it, Alex didn't have much else to do.
Gaz thanked Soap for the bottle of wine and left to get glasses. "So, have you made any progress in planning the wedding? That's next month, right?"
"Alex changed his mind and he wants like a ceremony and stuff, so... no, it's going to be the end of this year." Gaz shrugged, setting down the glasses when he came back.
Alex moved over and kissed his temple. "I was stupid for insisting on an elopement to begin with."
Gaz laughed, smiling. "Thank you. Anyway, we're looking at venues this week. Well, I am. I thought maybe you, Rudy, and I could make a day of it?"
Soap glanced at Ghost, who shrugged. Rodolfo would be there and Ghost knew better than to limit Soap's contact with friends. That always led to the downfall. He'd limit his friends and then Soap would feel controlled and start to buck and try to get away and slowly hate Ghost. No, Ghost knew better.
Soap smiled and turned back to Gaz. "I'd love to! When?"
"Friday." Gaz had definitely picked up the little interaction between them and he was frowning deeply, though Alex seemed to distract him with some plates. Gaz quickly set to putting them around the table, shortly before the doorbell was ringing.
"I got it." Alex murmured, kissing Gaz's temple again. Ghost had to admit, they were kind of a sweet couple. You'd never guess they'd only been together two months before getting engaged.
Gaz smiled and nodded, sitting down, as Alex let to go answer the door. Ghost frowned deeply when he heard Alex say hello, only to be answered with a "hey, man" from a voice he recognized immediately as Alejandro's.
Rodolfo had let him out? Why? Ghost hadn't even tried to convince him to let him out, yet. Honestly, he wasn't even planning on it. He doubted Rodolfo would even be convinced but... here he was. Ghost looked behind him to see that Rodolfo was in fact with Alejandro, holding onto his arm. He'd never seen so much emotion on Rodolfo's face. It looked almost natural.
"We were all worried about you." Alex told Alejandro, who just shrugged.
"I was... making some very stupid decisions but I'm back now." Alejandro smiled and came in when Alex let them in, guiding Rodolfo with him.
Rodolfo was practically beaming as he followed Alejandro in, looking up at him with adoration in his eyes. Ghost decided that was almost more uncomfortable than the lack of emotion that was usually there. It was almost uncanny. Funny. Rodolfo looked off when he was most natural.
Alex shrugged. "Well, we're glad you're back." He smiled and pat Alejandro's shoulder.
"We are." Rodolfo confirmed and Ghost realized, when his smile widened and his blush deepened as Alejandro kissed his cheek, that Rodolfo wasn't faking it.
What. the. fuck.
Alejandro tugged him to the table and Rodolfo seemed to gladly follow, smiling in greeting to everyone else. "Hey." He nodded to Soap, who had been watching them enter. He frowned when he saw Alejandro.
"Hello." Soap nodded. "Alejandro... where the fuck have you been??"
Alejandro winced. "I'd rather not talk about it. It's... uncomfortable."
Rodolfo nodded in agreement, avoiding Ghost's eyes. Ghost frowned a little but nudged Soap. "Let's not push, okay?" He murmured.
Soap frowned and looked at Ghost before nodding a little. "Alright."
Rodolfo relaxed and mouthed "thank you" to Ghost, who just shrugged. Favor for favors. He wanted to stay on Rodolfo's good side.
Finally, Alex sat down and they started to eat. Ghost didn't like having to pull his mask down for it, but no one commented or even really acknowledged it, so eventually he forgot about it.
He listened to the conversation everyone else was having but mostly drowned it out, not really caring if he was honest. Weddings weren't his thing, though he had no doubt Soap would get him dressed up and drag him out to Alex and Gaz's. He would gladly go, to support Soap, though.
Eventually, Soap started to ask Alejandro and Rodolfo questions. They were slightly prodding, just asking why Rodolfo hadn't told them the moment he found Alejandro, if Alejandro was okay, stuff like that.
Eventually, Alejandro just gave in. "I went on a bender." He admitted.
Ghost almost laughed. Even Rodolfo looked at him, shocked. That was clearly not the story they agreed on. But... Ghost had to hand it to him. It was just uncomfortable enough that no one would question the legitimacy of it. Why would you lie about something like that?
Soap immediately blushed bright red, taking Ghost's hand and squeezing it kind of hard. Not enough to hurt but Ghost knew he was deeply embarrassed. "Oh. I'm sorry."
"No, it's alright. It was a short bender but... I landed myself in the hospital and didn't have any of my money or cards or anything to get myself home. Rodolfo found me around last week and he wanted to tell you guys immediately but... I was too embarrassed. I didn't want anyone to know what had happened." Alejandro cringed and rubbed the back of his neck.
Alex winced. "Yeah, I get that feeling. High school was fucked up." He and Alejandro fist bumped. Ghost decided to keep his comments about that to himself.
Honestly if Ghost had his way, he'd never think of high school again.
Alejandro then nodded and continued. "So that's why I was gone and why I've been so secretive about it."
Rodolfo to his credit played his part very well and only looked at Alejandro with silent sympathy. Ghost turned and looked at Soap with amusement but didn't say anything about it.
After a moment of brief awkward silence, they decided to find a different topic of conversation and Alejandro looked relieved.
Ghost would have to ask Alejandro later how he managed to come up with such a story as he wasn't even entirely sure Alejandro drank alcohol. Though from the way everyone accepted it, there must be some history there. But that was honestly none of Ghost's business.
Alejandro would tell him if he felt like it.
Soap seemed to go quiet for the rest of the conversation. Which Ghost found equally amusing if he was honest. He loved Johnny and one of the things that drew him to Johnny was his impulsiveness and his inability to think before he opened his mouth, but that was bound to get them in trouble and look where they were.
So Ghost just squeezed Soap's hand under the table and chuckled softly, knowing that no one but Soap could hear.
After a brief moment of awkward silence, Soap spoke up to compliment Alex on the chicken and asked him where he got the recipe. Alex seemed flattered and responded that it was a family recipe. To which Gaz seemed to get quiet and paid a lot more attention to his plate. From the looks Soap and Rudy shared, Ghost inferred that this was probably a sore subject for Gaz.
Alex could be seen moving his arm under the table, assumingly to take Gaz's hand and leaned over to murmur something in his ear that no one else could hear.
Gaz smiled weakly before turning to the rest of the group. "Technically I'm not even supposed to be eating it."
Alex winced slightly and at everyone's questioning glances. "My mom hasn't come around to the idea of us being married. It's tradition that when the son's in my family get engaged that my mom will tell the fiancé all their favorite family recipes. But my mother refuses..."
Gaz laughed and shook his head. "Apparently that only applies to daughter in laws." Under his breath, he continued. "White daughter-in laws."
Alex winced pretty hard at that, but his lack of denial spoke more than his words ever could.
Ghost decided to make probably an ill timed joke, but what could he say he was awkward anyway and proceeded to say. "Well Johnny never has to worry about that, both of my parents are dead." To which Rodolfo and Gaz laughed a little too loud. Alejandro and Alex looked at them both with concern.
Gaz decided to explain first. "My parents gave me up when I was a baby so I never met them and my foster parents when they got me were already tired of fostering so when I turned 18, I went to college and never looked back."
Rodolfo nodded in agreement and mumbled. "I went into that creep's basement with an alive family and came out with two dead parents and siblings who refuse to speak to me."
Gaz seemed to turn bright red at that before weakly mumbling. "Dead parents gang." Ghost laughed a little to hard at. He had to admit, he kinda liked Gaz.
Soap awkwardly spoke up. "Well my parents are also dead but... I'm a little concerned for you three now."
Alejandro shrugged. "My parents are both alive. I have a pretty good relationship with them."
Alex said. "Do you though? They didn't notice you were gone for three weeks."
Gaz lightly wacked him across the arm. "Alex!"
But Alejandro only laughed and just shrugged. "Yeah, I guess." Clearly, he wasn't too bothered by the statement.
Ghost had had a lot of experience watching people. Hell, that's how he got in his current relationship by watching Soap. Through this experience, he picked up natureal reactions people had to things.
For instance, when someone said something insensitive the usual reaction is to laugh it off, maybe apologize, or maybe just go haha and move on. However, Alex did none of those things. Instead, Alex just smiled, nodded at Alejandro and turned back to the table.
This wasn't empirical evidence that something was wrong with Alex. But when Alex caught Ghost's eyes, Ghost puffed up a little. He broadened himself, tried to make himself look bigger.
And Alex just looked at Ghost and smiled.

Soap frowned when he got a text message on his phone. It wasn't from a number he recognized, though Soap had to admit he wouldn't have recognized it regardless. He had had the same cell phone number since he was 16 years old and if someone tried to read it out loud to him, he'd probably stare at them blankly and just go "what's that?"
Hi! You don't know me, but we share a math class and I think you're cute. -Bug
Soap flushed dark, frowning. Oh. I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend.
That's alright. -Bug
Soap raised an eyebrow. Was he accepting rejection? Or was he going "I don't care that you have a boyfriend"? We can be friends, though. Why did Soap send that?? Ghost was going to kill him.
Really? Awesome! -Bug
Soap smiled a little. Just friends, though.
That's alright. -Bug
Do you like movies? -Bug
I do, why?
Trying to make small talk -Bug
Soap smiled. He was already picking up awkward vibes from him. Probably learned how to pick that stuff up from Ghost. Where do you sit in math?
Oh, in the back. I don't like being seen -Bug
You sound like my boyfriend
Simon Riley, right? -Bug
Funnily enough, Soap didn't actually know Ghost's full name. Yeah, I think so.
You think so? -Bug
I know so. Soap's face flamed bright red. Fuck, it was text. He had the opportunity to read over them before he sent them, yet his dumbass just types and hits go. Fucking idiot.
Right. -Bug
I do! Soap was going to die. He was a moron! Anyway, do you like movies?
Sometimes. Not too many of them. -Bug
Do you like movie theatres?
Oh, no. Definitely not. -Bug
Soap frowned a little. Why?
Too loud. But, I like watching them at home. -Bug
Soap shrugged. Makes sense. Rodolfo was the exact same way. Honestly, he'd stayed away from move theatres for nearly three years due to one of his friends not liking them. He didn't miss them, too much. He'd rather spend the 20 dollars on the actual movie.
Hey can I ask a question? -Bug
Sure what is it?
When are you going to break up with that boyfriend? -Bug

His Perfect Victim (Mickey Altieri x OC!Dahlia Levine)
Chapter Seven: Beginning of the End
Words: 3.5k
Warnings: language, Mickey being a dick, (again, shocker) a little angst, a little fluff, phone call, (yes it’s a warning) confession of feelings.
The smut is COMING I PROMISE! We’re getting there, just slowly. As I’ve said before I’m putting a lot into this fic and for it to work out the way it’s going to, there’s a fuck ton of twists and turns. But we are progressing I swear. Mickey is really going to ruin Dahlia (in more ways than one)
Thank you to the wonderful @bisexual-horror-fan for beta and editing this for me! I love how much you love them and see just so fucking awesome at helping me bring the fic to live. Love and appreciate you so so much dude!!!
@lizey-thornberry as you wanted to be tagged :)
Tumblr media
As it turns out, Mickey was right. Things couldn’t just go back to normal after I made the stupid and monumental decision to kiss him. I don’t know why I thought that they would, or could. Maybe because I never had before, I hadn’t realized the impact the small action of pressing my lips to his would have, the ripple effect it would cause outward like throwing a stone into a pond.
Talking about it with Sidney in my dorm room the next day like we were a couple of fourteen-year-olds, I was met with a reaction I hadn’t expected. The words, “I kissed Mickey” left my lips, and then I felt her warm arms throw themselves around my neck as she pulled me to her, taking me a little by surprise. Sid was very similar to me in some ways, not huge on casual physical contact, but I suppose being with Derek was beginning to coax her into it. The change wasn’t unwelcome. Happiness looks good on Sidney, she looks best with a smile on her face and warm in her eyes.
I laughed, a little surprised, moving my hands to rest on her back as she pulled away, her infectious grin lighting up her face, “Look at you!” She said, dropping her arms back to her side, the beginning of the question slips out quickly, “Was that your first-“
I respond even quicker, “Yeah, it was. I mean, I don’t think Paul Miller in the fifth grade really counts.” I said with a nearly coy smile.
“Oh no, I saw that “kiss,” it definitely does not count. So what made you do it?” She pressed, pulling her legs up to sit crossed legged on my bed. I had no morning classes, so Mickey hadn’t met me with his usual coffee and a bagel, and for a brief moment I had a passing thought of how weird that was, he didn’t know my schedule that well. I did have a class twenty minutes from then, but I knew he had his film class with Randy at the same time. The thought abandoned me as I sat with Sid, blushing furiously as I recounted the experience.
“I don’t know, I mean, I guess it just felt right?” I looked down at my hands, twisting one of the rings on my fingers around and around as I spoke, “He was just being so… Mickey. But not in the way I’m used to. He was asking me if I’d ever look at him in a romantic kind of way. I guess I realized that I was starting to look at him like that, so I kissed him.” I shook my head, loose hair cascading around my shoulders as I did so, groaning a little, “It was stupid, right? I’m not ready!”
“Dahlia, you won’t know till you try.” Sidney’s friendly brown eyes looked at me as her hand found mine with a reassuring squeeze, she offered up in a show of comfort, “Maybe someone like him is exactly what you need right now?”
I furrowed my eyebrows at her, my head tilting a little to the side as I asked, “What do you mean?”
Sid hesitated for a moment, teeth sinking into her bottom lip before she let out a small sigh and answered me, “You’ve been through a lot, D. I know you’re only just getting back to your old self, but you have to admit, he’s been a big part of that,”
I opened my mouth to object, but she shook her head at me once, making me immediately clamp my lips together when I took in her serious expression, “You can’t deny it, we’ve all noticed it. When you’re around him, you get the light in your eyes we haven’t seen in, God, forever!” Sidney’s hands squeezed mine again as she bent her head down to catch my eye, “Would trying it really be the worst thing in the world?”
“I-“ I mouthed words, but nothing came out as my brain churned.
Would it?
There was no denying I was attracted to him, but so was half the student fucking body. He’d also fucked half of that same half of the student body, and I knew myself well enough to know I didn’t just want to be another notch in his bedpost. I had no idea if he really cared about me, or if this whole thing was just another game to him. I didn’t want to be a toy, I didn’t want to just be viewed as something for fun, to be played with and then be discarded when he was done.
I thought of the way he looked at me, friends didn’t look at friends like that. It was like he knew me, more than I knew him. He looked at me as if I was something to fucking eat, and it was almost too intoxicating.
I thought of the way his lips felt on mine, how right it felt, how he tasted and smelled, how his fingers dug into my hips and traced my spine. It felt so right, but there was something else behind it. A kind of urgency that at that moment I could quite put my finger on.
“All of this is moot if you don’t like him.” Sidney interrupted my train of thought, making me blink a couple of times and glance up at her. She was standing in front of me, I didn’t even notice her hands let go of mine or her standing up and putting her jacket on, “Just think about it, alright?”
I nodded my head, and she smiled down at me before giving a goodbye, a casual wave over her shoulder upon her exiting my dorm room, leaving me sat crossed legged on my bed staring at the door long after it clicked shut.
She was right, when was she not? I knew I liked him. But I had no idea if he liked me.
Fuck, I felt like I was in middle school all over again.
I groaned, falling back against my pillow and placing my arms across my face, squeezing my eyes until I saw spots behind my lids.
Then my phone rang.
I sighed, pulling my arms from my face and grabbing my shitty cell from my bedside table and flipping it open without looking at the name with a, “Hello?”
No answer, just the subtle, quiet sound of breathing at the end of the line.
I frowned, pulling the phone from my ear and glancing at the name.
Unknown Caller.
I pressed the phone back to my ear, propping up and asking more clearly, “Hello?”
The line went dead.
“Weird.” I muttered, tossing the phone back on the bedside table, forcing myself to stand up to start making my way to class.
The phone rang again, making me jump with a small gasp as I hesitantly picked it up.
I felt relieved as I saw Mickey’s name lighting up the small screen, answering him happily enough with, “I told you I don’t like getting calls.”
“Well, hello to you too, Dahl.” I could tell he had a smile on his face judging by his tone, and I couldn’t help one from spreading across mine, “What are you doing right now?”
I glanced at my watch before responding, “I’ve got class.”
His voice came through the receiver undeniably tinged with mirth, “Wanna ditch? Or are you too scared?”
He sounded so teasing, as if the words themselves were curling inside my ears, beckoning me to come out, and play. I rolled my eyes, scoffing slightly as I defend myself. “Christ, how much of a square do you think I am?”
Next he was explaining his line of thinking, “Sorry, I automatically assume you're a prude when it comes to your education as well as your lack of sex life.”
“Ouch.” I laughed, not even really feeling slightly hurt by his taunting comment. That was just the kind of guy he was.
“But seriously, I think we have stuff we need to talk about. Meet me outside your building?”
Fuck, he wanted to initiate that conversation? That, I didn’t expect.
I mumbled something about being down in a few minutes before hanging up, looking in my absent roommates floor length mirror and quickly combing my hair with my fingers, thanking the lord I had washed it last night, quickly tying a bandana around my head.
Passable, I decided with a shrug.
I quickly locked my door behind me as I left, leaving the building, and there he was, looking unfairly attractive but dressed, so simply, it made me want to bite his head off. Did the fucker know how good he looked without even trying? It’s maddening.
“Hey.” He remarked with a smile, his less than subtle once over not going amiss.
“Hi.” I suddenly felt shy, diverting my eyes down to the ground. What the hell was wrong with me? I’d basically thrown myself at this guy yesterday, and now I couldn’t even look him in the eye?
He said as much, eyebrows arching slightly as he asked, “You good? Feeling a little shy, are we?” His tone was teasing yet again, and I scoffed, forcing myself to meet his eye.
“No. Shut up, why am I ditching class?” I quickly changed the subject, maintaining casual eye contact. Well, as casual as I could muster without giving into the fact that all I wanted to do was kiss his stupid fucking lips again.
He seemed to already know that, a smile making the corners of his mouth tug up at my very obvious attempt to divert the conversation, “I want to take you somewhere.” He spoke lightly, holding his hand out for me to take.
I looked down at his outreached hand blankly, my own eyebrows raising a fraction as I asked hesitantly, “Where, exactly?”
He sighs with a nod, “Ah right, you don’t do ominous, I forgot.”
Fucking asshole.
“Library. It’s pretty dead right now because almost everyone has class around this time, so we can talk there.” His hand reached down and grabbed mine as he spoke, intertwining our fingers together, and I felt that jolt of electricity spark the moment we made contact. I tried not to show it, act like the sensation didn’t claw its way up my arm, shoot through my bloodstream and settle in my chest.
Was I crazy? Did he feel it too?
He tugged me alongside him, his winning smile lighting up his face. God, he was beautiful. I couldn’t help but look up at him as I walked alongside him.
His eyes were still bright as ever, with somewhat of a wicked gleam lurking below the deep surface of his light brown irises, and they just looked so… Inviting. He glanced down at me for a moment, his eyebrows raising a hair as he took in my clearly admiring expression. “What?” He asked with a laugh as we neared the entrance of the library. I tore my eyes away, looking at the double doors in front of me instead as I muttered, “Nothing, nothing.”
With another chuckle, he pushed the doors of the library open with one hand, still gripping mine in the other as he hauled me along with him between one of the many stacks of books and shelves.
I loved libraries. The smell of the old books and crisp paper, how quiet it was. It was like an escape, one you actively want to lose yourself in the same way you can and do lose yourself in the pages of a book.
Mickey’s hand released mine as he sat down, crossing his legs and leaning against the back wall between the stacks, gesturing next to him for me to sit down. I obliged, settling down beside him and resting my hands in my lap. He was right, of course. It was deserted, not a student, a professor or even the librarian in sight. It was quiet, comforting. I could only hear Mickey’s light breathing beside me before he spoke, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it.
“You want to talk about yesterday?”
I shrugged my shoulders timidly, not wanting to meet his gaze that I knew was concentrated on my face.
“Do you?” I asked, keeping my voice as soft and quiet as his was.
“I do. You took me a little by surprise, didn’t know you had it in you. You don’t seem like that kind of person who just-“
“I’m not shy or anything.” I interrupted him, suddenly feeling a little defensive, “It was stupid, I know. But honestly? I’m not upset I did it.” I made myself look at him, watching as his expression shifted to one of subtle surprise as he asked in mild disbelief, “You’re not?”
I shook my head, moving my arm to prop my elbow on my knees, so I could rest my face in my hand as I looked up at him, “I’m not. I know that may come as a surprise to you because you see me as shy, but I thought about it a lot last night, and I’m glad I did it.”
He was quiet for a moment, this time him dragging his gaze from me to stare blankly at the wall far ahead of him. His full lips pursed slightly, clearly deep in thought, before he asked, “Why?”
“Why am I glad?” He nodded once, still not looking at me. I knew how I felt, I knew I had to tell him. I’d spent too long as an emotionless zombie and just surviving rather than living. As both Sidney and Randy had pointed out, he was the only person that’s been able to reignite the fire I used to have, to make me feel like a person again. I couldn’t deny I had feelings for him, that was pointless. I was sick of playing pretend, acting like I didn’t. What was the use in pretending like I just wanted him to be a friend?
I knew there was always the chance he didn’t feel the same way, but it really didn’t bother me. I had to do what I never did and just shoot my shot because I knew that if I didn’t, I’d regret it for the rest of my life. In hindsight, maybe it would have been better for me if I just kept my mouth shut. But alas, I opened my mouth and said it. Six words that were going to change the trajectory of literally everything.
“Because I have feelings for you.”
There was no taking them back once it was all out there. This head practically snapped in my direction as soon as the words were out of my mouth and his jaw seemed to relax slightly, his eyes boring into my face.
“Feelings? Come on, Dahl.” He didn’t say it in a rude or snarky kind of way. His tone was off slightly however, a slight edge to the words as though it was almost a warning.
I ignored the hidden tone, dropping my hand from my face and turning to face him properly, looking him dead in the eyes. “I’m not the kind of person who throws myself at people, but you… You’re just…” I couldn’t find the words as I watched his expression soften, the hard brown in his eyes switching to something I could only describe as melting chocolate. I felt his hand gently touch my cheek and I leaned into it slightly, eyes fluttering closed.
“Feelings.” He whispered it, so quietly I wasn’t even sure he’d really said it, as if he can’t believe it. He must have known there was something going on here, but this was not what he’d been expecting, clearly.
My eyes stayed closed as I felt his lips gently brush mine, soft as a feather and just so… Careful. Like he was afraid he’d break me.
I hummed, light, an involuntary reaction without a melody as I felt his lips against mine a little more firmly before he pulled back, making my eyes open and look at him confused.
“You can’t have feelings for me.” He sounded sad and his face completely gave him away. He looked tormented by something in his own head, his head shaking from side to side, “You were right with what you said last night. You don’t know me.”
“But I know enough.” I insisted.
He laughed a humourless laugh, his hand moving to run across his hair as he continued shaking his head, “You really don’t, Dahlia. If you did, there's no way you’d have feelings for me.” He said the word feelings as though it disgusted him.
Fuck, this guy switched up fast. I decided to match his energy.
“What the fuck is your problem, Mickey? You make me skip class, drag me to the deserted fucking library to talk about what happened last night and what, now you’re mocking me for being honest with you?”
“I’m not mocking you, Dahlia. I’m stating a fact.” He rolled his eyes, refusing to look at me.
“I asked you if we could pretend like it never happened, if we could be just friends. You’re the one who said we could never be “just friends.”. Fuck.” I stuck my fingers up in air quotations as I spoke, feeling stupid and naive. Of course, he didn’t want me, why would he? The whore that was Mickey Altieri sluts around campus, why the hell would he want to start slumming it with the resident freak?
He speaks and it is so annoying and thoroughly him, “I was gonna tell you if you want to fuck, we can fuck. But I don’t do… That shit.”
I laugh bitterly and bite out, “Oh, don’t worry. I don’t want ‘that shit’ with you now anyway. God, you’re an asshole, you know that?”
He didn’t speak, eyes still staring down at his clenched fists and his brows furrowed.
“Whatever, I don’t need this shit, especially not from you. Bye, Mickey.” I moved to stand up but felt his large hand grip my bicep tightly, keeping me beside him on the floor. “Get the fuck off me.” I snapped, struggling, but his grip hardened, refusing to let me move.
He speaks louder than he has all afternoon, louder than he should in a library. “Can you just let me explain? I don’t do relationships, Dahlia. I never have. Like, come on! Do I seem like that kind of guy interested in monogamy to you?”
He had a point.
“I fuck, I leave. It’s a habit that I don’t think I know how to break. But you. You fucking get to me and I absolutely hate it.” The words are genuine, and he seems so upset that they are, like he wished that they weren’t true.
I stopped struggling, pausing to look at him in confusion as he continued talking.
“I know I’ll hurt you eventually, and I don’t want to do that. Really, you have no fucking idea how much I don’t want to do that. I’m giving you an out.”
“I don’t want an out, you stupid asshole.” I snapped, frowning at him as his lips twitched in a slight smile at my choice of words. Dick. “You don’t know that you’ll do any of that unless you try. How fulfilling is it, screwing without purpose? Banging and ditching over and over?”
“Very. Very fulfilling, maybe you should try it. That’s all I can offer you.” His smile widened as he took in my expression, clearly feeling me waver just slightly before I shook my head.
“I’m not fucking you just to fuck you, Mick.” I insisted, hoping I’d reach him.
He sighed, he’s falling back against the wall behind him as he finally let my arm go, but I didn’t move. He had some kind of spell over me, I didn’t want to go anywhere.
“So you’ll only let me fuck you if I’m dating you, huh? How long into it can I, a week?”
I scoffed, shaking my head no.
He asked next, tone hopeful, smile small, looking over at me through the corner of his eye, “Week and a half?”
“When the moment is right, maybe.” I told him, my own smile lurking on the corners of my mouth.
“And I can’t fuck other people in the meantime?” He asked with an honest curiosity.
“No.” I say firmly.
He looked thoughtful for a second, his eyes scanning over me in the way I once hated, but now was growing to love. I liked the way he looked at me like I was something to eat, and it honestly made me want to force him to wait even longer before he could touch me.
“Fine.” He said quietly. I pretended not to hear, cupping my ear and leaning toward him with a sly, “Hm? What was that?”
He laughed, grabbing my hand and pulling me close to him, adjusting himself against the wall, so he was face to face with me as he said, with the most beautiful smile I’d ever fucking seen on his face, “I said fine, let’s try it. Let’s date.”

My affairs ricochet
Stray cat strut
I can hear the bells (fuck his dad pt. 3 😌)
If anyone else wants to do this, consider this your tag! :) WIP snippet below ( since it's nearly midnight I'm gonna give you two actually.) Both are from I can hear the bells.
“Honey, I’m ho–” Steve’s words were cut off as he turned to face the kitchen. His eyes raked over everything– the candles, the wine glasses on the table, at Eddie with half of his hair tied back and a bouquet of roses so dark they were nearly purple on the tips of the petals. “I thought you could use a night off,” Eddie said warmly.
And an NSFW snippet below the cut 😌
“Steve–” Eddie was a panting mess as he rocked down, impaling himself over and over. “‘M yours– yours–” “Mine,” Steve agreed, and he pulled Eddie down for another bruising kiss.

Plot Wishlist
General:
Any X-characters, but especially Storm, Shadowkat, Cyclops, Iceman, Jean Grey, Abigail Brand, Havok, Dazzler, Colossus, Mr. Sinister, Charles Xavier, Magneto, Sabretooth, et al.
Verse specific plots below.
Feline Hank:
Decimation/Utopia-era plots, perhaps including a PTSD recovery arc for Hank after his torture at the hands of Norman Osborn. Poor guy was literally having flashbacks at the drop of a hat and the best he got was a 'you're the rock, so idk just cope better' speech - would love to dive into this.
Fun, shippy things! Hank is a loveable fella, but utterly bereft of actual self-esteem - tons of ego and bluster, but self-esteem? Wrong house, miss - and I love to see him reconcile the often inflated mental portrait he has of others with his diabolical self-image.
Mutant cure. Hank has a vial of it just sitting in a freezer. All it takes is one particularly bad day.
Post-Intervention Hank:
Anything with any X-character, diving into the period of time between All-New X-Men and Krakoa. Hank screwed up, majorly, and his emotional state is ridiculously fractious - engage with him on this! Force him to change! Or let's have blazing arguments! Let's do both, fuck it!
Inhuman + Kang interactions! Hank was only with them for a short period of time in the grand scheme of things, but I dearly love that he made friends during his time here, and it breaks my heart that he felt like he couldn't go back after Inhumans vs. X-Men.
Avengers:
Defenders interactions! Especially Isaac Christians (Gargoyle), Patsy Walker (Hellcat) and Heather Douglas (Moondragon). I love this team - they're such a weird, kooky team of misfists and emotionally damaged individuals.
Threnody. I'm tired of talking about her as the first brick in the wall for Hank's downfall - let's talk about her as a character, let's engage with the situation, let's call Hank out, let's let him off the hook, let's do something with it!
X-Force:
Any and all members of the Quiet Council, perhaps a thread making sense of Beast's numerous karma houdinis. My portrayal of X-Force Beast diverges from the cartoon character you've seen in Percy's books, but I still want to engage with the situations he must've found himself in and write them like an adult. Let's get political, let's get complicated, let's get cruel, why not?
Any and all interactions where an old friend asks Beast what the hell he's doing and what happened to him. I just want someone to care that Beast has hollowed out his soul and decided it's easier to not care.
Irredeemable Beast:
Pretty much anything, but the tone of this verse suits Fall of X-themed plots and character development over all else. I have an in-progress fic about this verse that I'm working on - I can't tell you how overjoyed I'd be to talk about it with someone. Let's talk redemption, let's talk punishment, let's talk justice, let's talk masochism, let's talk death wishes!
Dark Beast:
Any Age of Apocalypse characters.
A duplicate Hank, tbh!
The guy's a stinker, abuse him, please.
Battle of the Atom:
Any of the time displaced X-Men, future X-Men, or members of the Jean Grey and Charles Xavier School faculty. This version of Hank is so broken and so tragic and so pitiable. Let's engage with that. Let's talk about the future, let's talk about optimism, let's talk about broken faith and mind control and hatred.
President Blaire. If you know, you know.
And obviously, all of the X-characters mentioned above, or hell, any member of the extended X-family, would be much loved as an intersection with all of these plots!
And keep in mind, if you aren't one of these characters, that doesn't mean any of this plot material is off limits to you! Message me, ask me, let's work something out. I crave good character dynamics, hmu. I want to write with you, or I wouldn't be here.
