Broke His Heart Cause He Was Nice
Pairing: Peeta Mellark x Reader
Synopsis: the games are over now and Peeta finds out your relationship was all an act
Masterlist
Tumblr media
It was the day you were finally set to arrive back home in District 12 after completing your victory tour for winning the games. You’d been anxiously waiting for this day and wanting nothing more than to trade the makeup and tight dresses for your boots and own bed. The train was running late, ironic considering how fast it was, and you were too anxious to sit still. You noticed a pathway near the train platform and longed to be alone with your thoughts in nature.
“I’m gonna take a walk while we wait for the train.” You announced. Effie sighed and shut her compact mirror before looking at you.
“I suppose that’s all right. But don’t go too far. We board in 15 minutes.” She reminded you. You nodded and started to walk away when Peeta stood up.
“Can I come with you?” He asked. You gulped and forced a smile before nodding your head.
“Always.” You told him. He smiled back and walked beside you as you headed down the walkway together. Your hand bumped against Peeta’s as you looked up at the trees around you. As soon as he slipped his hand into yours, you felt tremendous guilt fill your stomach. You were yet to address the nature of your relationship now that the games were over. You had blurred the lines so much between faking a relationship for the camera and navigating your true feelings for Peeta that you had no idea where you stood now. Peeta saw the uneasy look on your face and let go of your hand to walk ahead. He picked some flowers for you and handed you the bouquet he had arranged.
“For you.” He blushed as he presented them to you.
“Oh.” You smiled in surprise. “Thank you.”
Peeta returned the smile before continuing to walk down the pathway. You watched him as he walked, feeling like the distance between you was matching the distance you felt inside.
“I can’t believe we’re actually going to be back in District 12 tomorrow. I really didn’t think we’d ever see it again.” Peeta said as he continued to stroll along the flowerbeds.
“Neither did I.” You admitted, making Peeta stop. He turned around and looked at you for a long time, making you uncomfortable in the silence.
“What do we do once we get back?” He asked as he earnestly stared into your eyes. He looked just as lost as you were and you wished you could give him some answers.
“I guess we try to forget.” You answered, making Peeta’s eyes soften.
“I don’t want to forget.” He said quietly. You stared into his eyes as you guilt built up and up until it threatened to spill out your throat. Before you could say anything more, you heard a voice behind you.
“Hey. There you two are.” Haymitch said as he approached. “You guys should be proud of yourselves. I’ve seen a lot of victory tours but I haven’t heard crowds cheer like that in years. You really sold the whole star-crossed lovers who survived with the power of love thing. Especially you, sweetheart. Keep it up exactly the way you were playing it.”
“Thanks.” You said immediately as your entire face burned in embarrassment. Out of the corner of your eye, you could see Peeta’s look of confusion. Haymitch had no idea what he had just done and was too drunk to realize it. He patted your shoulder with a drunken smile and stumbled back to the train.
“What’s he talking about?” Peeta asked as soon as you were alone. You opened your mouth to answer him but found yourself speechless. You knew this moment would come eventually, you just didn’t think it’d happen before you even got a chance to go home.
“What was he talking about? What are you keeping up?” Peeta asked again when you took too long to answer. You looked into Peeta’s eyes and stumbled over a few broken sentences as tears filled your eyes. You didn’t even know why you were crying, you just felt full of emotion over the fact that you knew Peeta’s world was about to shatter. You had grown an immense fondness, even love, for him since the start of all of this and you knew he was about to hate you. Before you could confess the truth, Peeta put it all together. He took a step back from you as his hand went over his mouth.
“Oh my God. It was all an act, wasn’t it?”
Peeta whispered. “The way you behaved in the games wasn’t real. Waking me up with kisses, feeding me, hugging me so tight I could barely breathe. You were just pretending, weren’t you? You did it all for the cameras.”
“Not all of it. Some things were real.” You promised him. “But Haymitch and I knew that if I played up the romance, we’d get more sponsees. And it worked. We did.”
“You and Haymitch had a plan? And you didn’t tell me?” Peeta shouted. He was usually so soft spoken that hearing him yell made you stumbled back in surprise.
“We never officially made a plan.” You tried to explain. “But after I kissed you and we were sent food, I realized that Haymitch was telling me that that’s what we had to do to get sponsors. So I kept doing it. And we kept getting sponsors.”
“I should’ve known.” Peeta shook his head. “I should’ve known you didn’t just happen to fall in love with me.”
“Peeta.” You said tearily as you watched his heart break. You knew he’d be upset, but this was harder than you thought.
“I knew it was too good to be true. You never actually felt the things I felt. You were just playing a part.” Peter said quietly as he wiped his eyes.
“You’re the one who started the romance plot anyway, remember? Why are you mad that I kept it up?” You folded your arms, angry now that he wasn’t seeing your side of things.
“Because I didn’t know there was something to keep up. I didn’t know you and Haymitch had a secret plan behind my back. I was just dumb enough to believe I could actually trust you. How stupid am I?”
“You’re not stupid, Peeta. And you can trust me. You have to understand that I wanted to tell you about it but I couldn’t. There were cameras everywhere. If I told you, everyone watching would’ve known it wasn’t real. I had to keep the illusion. And that meant keeping it a secret from you too.”
“Wasn’t real.” Peeta laughed sadly. “Illusion?”
Your anger subsided for a moment when you heard the pain in his voice. Your choice of words had just thrown salt in his wounds. You stopped trying to win the argument for a moment and realized that you had a right to be angry, but so did he. You walked over to him and cupped his face to make him look at you.
“Peeta, there were so many times I wanted to draw the curtains closed and block the rest of the world out and just be with you. I swear, I did. But we didn’t have that choice. If things were different and we had gotten together in a normal situation, maybe I’d know where my feelings lie. But I don’t, Peeta. I’m sorry.”
“I thought things were going to be different now. I thought something good had come out of the games.” Peeta said as he stared at the ground.
“Things are different.” You insisted.
“Yeah. They definitely are.” Peeta wiped his face and turned away from you so you couldn’t see him cry.
“How can you be mad at me for this? We were strangers before the game. I wasn’t thinking about romance. I was thinking about saving our lives.”
“I know that. In my heart, I know that. I just can’t get it through my head yet. God, I can’t believe you were acting.” Peeta said and stressfully tugged at his hair.
“I know this is upsetting to hear but I wasn’t trying to deceive you. I thought you were acting too.” You protested. “I assumed you knew we had to play up the romance for sponsors and that’s why you kept kissing me and saying the things you did.”
“No. I didn’t know. I was never pretending.” Peeta snapped, making you raise your eyebrows in surprise. He was never one to be quick to anger, so it surprised you that you were having such a hard time getting him to calm down.
“Putting on the act got us both out, okay? There is no other circumstance where we would’ve both come out alive. This was the only way.”
“I know that. I’m sorry. I just wish I knew sooner.” Peeta sighed and sat down on the ground. You looked at him for a minute before looking around and behind you. You wished there was someone, anyone, to tell you what to do in this situation. You wish you had a script or some cards form Effie telling you what to say. Peeta was just sitting on the ground, staring into space, and you had no idea how to bring him back. No one had ever been mad at you in this way before and you didn’t know what to do. Realizing no one was coming to help, you walked over and sat beside Peeta. You could tell he was trying his hardest not to cry but it wasn’t exactly working in his favor. He turned his face away from you and he quietly sniffled.
“If there was a way I could’ve told you, I would’ve.” You said as you placed a hand on his back. Peeta nodded his head and wiped his face before giving you a sad smile.
“I believe you.” He said. You returned the sad smile and rubbed small circles on his back. Peeta stared off into space again while you stared at him. You let silence sit between you for a long time until you broke it.
“Were you really never pretending?” You asked quietly. You saw his mouth tug into a slight smile as he shook his head.
“Never. I meant every word I said.” Peeta said, sounding almost proud. You smiled a little when you thought of all the kind things he had said about you in the cave and how you now knew they were true.
“How much was fake for you?” Peeta asked, breaking you out of your thoughts. He was looking at you now with those puppy dog eyes of his and it made you feel ten times worse.
“I don’t know, Peeta.” You sighed. “I don’t remember every little detail.”
“I do. What about our first kiss? Real or not real?” He asked with a certain desperation in his voice. You cracked a smile in surprise and looked at him.
“Real. I couldn’t bear listening to you talk about dying, so I kissed you to shut you up.” You told him, making him smile as his face turned red.
“I have a feeling you’re forgiving me.” You chuckled and pointed at him, making his smile drop.
“I’m not.” He cleared his throat. “The kisses when you got the broth the first time. Real or not real.”
“Not real. I’m not really the type to wake someone up with kisses.” You said sheepishly.
“I guess I always kind of knew that about you.” Peeta admitted. “What else was fake?”
“When I asked you about your crush on me when we were in the cave. I was trying to get us to have some kind of grand emotional moment because the kisses weren’t cutting it anymore. I needed to go bigger.” You admitted.
“Oh.” Peeta’s face fell. “You didn’t really want to know?”
“I really wanted food.” You confessed. “And I honestly thought you made that story up because you were hungry too. Did your dad really want to marry my mom?”
“Yeah. And he’s not thrilled I told that story, by the way. Apparently it was really quiet in the bakery that night.” Peeta said, making you genuinely laugh for the first time in a while. Peeta couldn’t help but smile when he heard you laughing but wasn’t done with the questions.
“When you said I didn’t have any competition, real or not real?” Peeta asked a a he looked into your eyes.
“That was real.” You replied, and you meant it.
“What about Gale?” Peeta asked, sounding like he didn’t believe you. You looked Peeta up and down
“He’s not your competition.” You laughed like it was silly, making Peeta smile.
“He’s not?” He asked hopefully.
“He’s basically family. I think if something were to ever happen between us, it would’ve happened already.”
“Hm. Good to know.” Peeta blushed and looked away again.
“Any other questions?” You asked him. “I really do want to make it up to you. I’ll answer anything you want.”
“When you said I walk too loud…” Peeta asked and trailed off.
“Real. Very real. You were so loud I wanted to kill you.”
“We could’ve avoided all this if you had.” Peeta muttered, making you laugh again. Peeta laughed as well and looked at you for a moment.
“Did you try as hard as you did to save my life for the romance plot?” He asked quietly as if fearful of the answer.
“No.” You said immediately. “I did what I did because I couldn’t handle the thought of you dying. I still can’t. I almost broke a steel door down when they separated us after we won. You were the only thing on my mind. That was the moment for me when I realized I wasn’t acting all that much. I love you deeply, Peeta. I know that for certain. I’m just not really sure what kind of love that is yet.”
Peeta looked into your eyes for a while and eventually, he seemed to be satisfied with your response. You knew he understood where you were coming from even if it hurt him to know the truth.
“I’m sure what my love is.” He said after a beat of silence. It wasn’t reproachful, more like a passing thought. He knew what he wanted and he wanted you to know it too.
“Could you wait for me? Until I figure it out?”
“I will.” Peeta nodded, making you smile on relief. He smiled too and the faintest blush crept over his cheeks. He looked out into the distance for a minute and a comfortable silence settled between you. He then turned to you and leaned in for a long, slow kiss. Just in case it was his last time for a while getting to do such a thing. It was your first kiss without a single camera present and you felt that familiar hunger sensation in your chest that left you wanting more. When he pulled away, you wanted him to do it again.
“Are you any closer to figuring it out?” He asked completely serious, making you laugh. You stared into his eyes and truly could not imagine your life without him.
“You know what?” You cracked a smile. “Yeah. I am.”

HEY POOK!!
I found your page this morning and OH MAH LAWRD 😻 WOOF WOOF WOOF, ya know? 😔
Take your time with this request, because I don’t want you to get stressed..
But remember those Eric and Kyle oneshots? Where you are Kyle’s bf but they have their way with you? 😳 (wowzers)
WHAT ABOUT THAT WITH ERIC AND BUTTERS??? LIKE PLS ERICS GF AND BUTTERS JUST SO HAPPENS TO- AHH😩
keep me in ur thoughts 😏
- 🍒
OHHHHHH???????
I’VE BEEN LIKE- TRYING TO WRITE ANOTHER KYLE AND CARTMAN ONE BUT I SUCK AT WRITING KYLE- Cartman and Butters on the other hand???? OOOOOH MAMA (says this as I write whatever comes to mind while I’m at lunch and feeling really embarrassed about it)!! Also I’m like half sure you meant Butters x Cartmans gf reader right??? Sorry if I’m wronggg
Also dw I always think about my anons /hj I love y’all sm
Anyways, thanks to @tiniedemon and @hand-writxen for the ideas while writing. I was stuck on this for the LONGEST time and felt super bad about it. As per usual, I’M NOT SHIPPING THEM IN ANY WAY!!
HAS NSFW CONTENT
Butters x Cartmans gf reader
Tumblr media
• Let’s be honest, Cartmans a bit of an voyeur- so when Butters came up to him real apologetic about having a lil crush on his gf it gave him the best idea
• That’s how it started, all of y’all expected it to be a one and done thing BUT NOPE
• But who tf knew that Butters was super fucking horny??? Not you-
• Anyways, the both of them take turns on you ALL THE TIME! It’s mainly because they don’t hate each other so that makes it a hell of a lot easier
• Y’all ever heard of double penetration??? YEAH THATS THEM- JUST HEAR ME OUT ON IT
• They’re both kinda impatient (difference is although Butters might get antsy he can wait, Cartman refuses to) so like, double penetration does happen quite a bit
• Butters has like, no chill tho. He’s super obvious about his crush on you and how he feels about you, dudes ALL over you and it’s kinda cute ngl. It annoys Cartman tho so it usually ends in him making Butters watch y’all fuck or something and not letting him touch you to remind him who’s gf you are
• Butters gets so whiny too, he’s desperate to touch you and he’d do literally anything Cartman tells him just for the chance of a bj or something
• Cartmans a sadist so he usually makes Butters get on his knees and beg or something. That part’s not even sexual he just likes feeling the power 👀
• Tbh Butters is a really sweet, passionate guy so most of the time he puts your pleasure before his own. In his eyes, you come first so ofc he’s gonna make you cum first even if he has to edge himself
• But omg those few times where he really lets go and he’s really rough and uses you 😩
• Anyways so enough of that, ngl Cartman really likes watching Butters eat you out. Sometimes after he jerks off to y’all he has post nut clarity and thinks he’s a lil creepy but that’s like, immediately gone because he realizes he doesn’t care enough
• Honestly, I can see Butters fucking you but Cartman being completely in control the entire time
• He says he wants Butters to edge you? It’s done. He wants you guys to overstim yourselves, DONE
• He loves seeing Butters edge you and himself. Definitely likes seeing the tears of frustration and taunting you about it, calling you his crybaby
• Butters definitely whimpers while edging himself and gets really caught up in how good you feel, hehe Cartman edges himself a couple times too while y’all do 🤭
• Hear me out, he’s super mean about cumming. Literally will not let either of you cum until he does from you sucking him off
• I dunno, orgasm denial is just a huge thing here ya know? Like in his eyes (at the moment) y’all are just fuck toys entertaining him 💅
• Cartman is such a control freak but it’s honestly kinda hot to both of y’all. Butters is definitely more on the sub side a lot of the time so it works out for you guys
• NOW YOU GOTTA HEAR ME OUT AGAIN ‼️ the both of them like watching you get yourself off using toys. Also mutual masturbation ngl. They jerk each other off while watching you <33
• Like I said, orgasm denial is a huge thing so Cartman probably makes you get off on some sort of vibrator but doesn’t let you cum for the longest time because he wants you to beg. He starts rubbing off on Butters at some point and he starts doing similar things
• Would not be surprised if Cartman makes you get off on his shoe (def a new pair he only uses for that purpose because ew, germs) while the two jerk each other off
• EHEHEHE imagine Cartman makes you fuck yourself on a dildo and watches because he says you’re not ready or even worth him and Butters dicks yet
• Definitely says you have to work for it and likes watching you do it. I swear no amount of preparation prepares you for the both of them at the same time. FUCKING ANIMALS
• Anyways, Butters is probably secretly into pegging. Just hear me out ok???
• He really really wants you to peg him while Cartman fucks you (in Cas’ words, a lil train)
• Omg so like, jerking him off while you peg him and Cartman just jerking off the whole time because damn who knew you looked super hot while pegging someone
• I feel like Cartman really likes seeing his cum on your face and at the end of y’all’s… session the two of them usually jerk off on your face and tits
• Butters definitely thinks you look super pretty with cum on you while Cartman kinda sees it as a hot degrading thing
• Sometimes this kinda stuff happens in public where they’re both horny and they literally fight over who gets a blowjob from you because they don’t have much time or privacy
• Anyways, both literally love a good creampie so you best believe that both of them do creampie you. CONSTANTLY
• Round after round man, Cartman just really likes seeing it drip out of you. Probably smacks your pussy (somewhat lightly) just to giggle as you whimper before fingering it back in
• All that is just an instant boner for both of them. THEY’RE INSATIABLE I TELL YOU, INSATIABLE
• Before y’all go out sometimes they both cum in your underwear and make you wear it out after rubbing it in, this definitely isn’t something I saw on an NSFW twitter acc that made me giggle and kick my feet
• They’ve both ruined and owe you SO MANY panties because they keep using them to jerk off or they cum in them. FOR SOME REASON IT STAINS AND JUST RUINS THE PANTIES and both of them feel so proud of doing that
HERE YOU NASTY PEOPLE I’VE FED YOU WITH THIS DECENTLY LONG DICK HCS THING
All jokes aside I really liked writing this so ty for the request babes <33

Poly!Bethan Headcanons
Fandom: My babysitter’s a vampire
Request: “ Hey! I was just wondering if you could do some fluff hcs or a oneshot for Poly!Bethan x Reader (?). It's fine if not^^ have a good day/night! :) “ @thatonehornymf
Genre: fluff
Warnings: none
~~~
You and Benny definitely feed into each other's recklessness. It’s a problem. You’re usually very chill and collected but when it’s you and Benny, it feels like your inner child is rejoicing and you can let go of all common sense and responsibilities and just live! Sure, that sometimes lands you two in trouble (many hours spent in detention between the 2 of you) but ultimately, the fun you have together outweighs the consequences. Plus your other boyfriend is right there for you!
He waits for you in the cafeteria or library. You always walk home together, so this is usually the time you and Benny will have to explain yourselves and he will give you a long and boring lecture about being more “responsible” and whatnot. It’s ok tho, because he will always end said lecture by kissing both of you and reminding you how much he loves you.
Ethan just loves you two so so much, he doesn’t want you to think any differently just because he’s acting annoyed. All he wants is for you to not get in trouble!
Date nights are definitely rare. It’s not because you 3 don’t wanna go out, but because you already spend so much time together at Ethan’s house, dates don’t feel exactly necessary. It’s not like any of you are the “going out to a fancy restaurant in suits and dresses'' type.
Even when you do go out, it’ll more than likely be something casual, like a movie! The boys will make a point of getting you your own bag of popcorn, while they share theirs because “as a lady”, you shouldn’t have to share your snacks with anyone. You’ll take turns picking the movies and everytime you guys agree on a horror movie, it’s custom to let E sit in the middle because poor boy gets so scared and you and  Benny love sharing knowing looks while holding his hand or wrapping your arms around him
Benny is the KING of gifts!! He’s more observant than many think and always knows exactly what to get his two lovers to leave them speechless. He drops them on you at the most random moments too. He needs no occasion to get you the newest game you’ve been into and new paranormal hunting equipment for Ethan
When you get tangled up in paranormal business, Ethan becomes extremely overprotective of you and Benny! He will stop at nothing to keep you safe, which sometimes leads to arguments because he would much rather prefer you two stay home and out of it but you remind him that he can’t do it by himself, he needs you!
If any of you end up getting hurt at all, even if it’s as much as a scratch, you have a plan already in place!! You’ll go back to one of your houses and clean up, before starting a massive cuddle session!! The injured one reserves the right to choose the playlist that’s going off, but the others choose the snacks.
Neither of your boys are very affectionate in public, but they like it when you are being unapologetically clingy with them. They feel loved and appreciated and it’s a real boost of confidence to know that you are not embarrassed to be dating the school’s biggest nerds, regardless of what others might say.

Lucien Crown as Your Sugar Daddy - Headcanons
Tumblr media
Lucien Crown x Reader
Warnings: Smut, Sugar Daddy, illness
You called him Lucien or Daddy
No matter what others said or called him as
To you he was Daddy or Lucien
Or any cute nickname you could come up with
As long as it wasn’t Milo
After Michael’s many promises of a cure, Lucien had enough
And so, without even looking, during a meeting with a politician, he became aware of sugar babies
The topic intrigued him enough to start looking
He figured he might as well have some fun before he dies
He interviewed in total 16 girls
None piqued his interest
You arrived a bit late, the 17th girl
And you were perfect
While he could tell the others pitied him for his illness
You did not
You treated him equally throughout the interview 
You even joked around
And he liked that
You had a few set of rules as you explained that he would be your first.. Sugar Daddy
Your rules were very basic and he agreed to them all
He whipped up a contract that day and you both signed it
You were the perfect distraction
While you did take his illness seriously, you didn’t shy away from joking
For example, whenever you two were walking somewhere, you would call him grandpa
“Come on Grandpa! You are so slow! I shouldn’t have to call you Daddy when in reality you are Grand-Daddy!!!”
You made him laugh
Every time, all day
And soon, you moved to his place
He wanted you around all the time
And you were happy to be there
You were surprised when he said he doesn’t require you to have sex with him
You thought that was a huge part of Sugar Daddies
But you also understood that he was different
He wanted someone around him, someone to take his mind off of his pain
And you tried your best to do just that
He set up an account for you, gave you a card and explained he will put enough money on it for you and you could spend the money as you please
But he was surprised to see, you didn’t buy anything
In fact, you only bought things for him
You got him a nice new tie that you saw
You got ingredients because you wanted to bake cupcakes
You got him a birthday present
If he didn’t know any better, he would say you were in love with him
And he would be correct
But he didn’t know
He brought you on many dates
Dates to the best restaurants
Dates to the nicest places
Dates to stores where he would buy you dresses he likes to see you in
During one date however, a couple of drunk guys started to laugh at him, making fun of him
And you didn’t like that
He said he was used to it
But you weren’t
“Hey! Fuckfaces! Go and make fun one yourselves instead, you pathetic bunch! I will let you know he has the biggest cock and he surely knows how to use it! You disgusting cockroaches!”
The men ran as two cops arrived because of your yelling
Lucien was thankful for what you did
On your ride back home, you worriedly turned to him
“I shouldn’t have said that earlier. I embarrassed you, I apologize.”
“Quite the opposite actually, you made me very proud. Thank you for standing up for me.” he said
And he kissed you, it was the first kiss you two shared
A simple kiss
But it meant so much to the both of you
It was the day he noticed he had feelings for you
He would often sit in his office, looking at the contract
As if to remind himself why were you there
You wouldn’t be there if you didn’t have the contract
And he was sure you would leave as soon as it would end
But if that’s the truth
If you really were there only for his money
Then why didn’t spend it?
He checked time and time again, waiting for anything
A huge purchase or a transfer
He thought you would transfer the money to your own account
But nothing like that happened
It confused him
So much so that one morning, during breakfast, he asked you
He asked you why would you stay and don’t spend the money
“Because I genuinely like you, Lucien. If anything, I should say I am in love with you. But I know you don’t feel the same and that’s okay.”
But he did
And he told you he did
Both of you just sat there, confused and shocked
But after the shock, you both started dating
With the contract officially burnt
You two had sex that night for the first time, you were nervous but you knew you had to help him a lot, and you were okay with that
Turns out, when you yelled at those men, you were actually pretty accurate
He did have a very nice cock
And while his illness didn’t allow him to be on top
You absolutely enjoyed riding him
All. Night. Long.
Sometimes he had to tell you to slow down because he was tired
But it also didn’t take him long to regain his strength and keep going
He also had a wonderful mouth which you didn’t know he could use so skillfully, but he surely did
He definitely had a thing for you being the dominant one
But you did let him tell you what he wanted you to do
You let him lead you
You were happy
You were in love and happy
But you still didn’t stop calling him Daddy from time to time
Tumblr media
A/N: I have more ideas for him, let me know if anyone would be interested and I’ll write those.

instead of you [part six] || l.mh
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: [best friend’s brother] lee minho x college!reader ft. han jisung
summary: you didn’t expect to spend your summer pretending to be your best friend’s girlfriend- then again, you didn’t expect to fall for your best friend’s brother, either. 
warnings: swearing, swearing, mentions of sex, simulated sex (18+ mdni), menstruation mentions
word count: 5.2k
a/n: revamped my tom holland series from my main blog ( @wazzupmrstark ) to try and motivate myself to finish it!! ; i know minho is the chef of the group but just suspend your disbelief for this series and pretend it’s jisung
series masterlist | early access to the next chapter on ko-fi
“Tickets are seventeen euros.”
You patted your back pocket instinctively in search of your wallet before remembering it was in the backpack Jisung was carrying.
“Nice try,” he said smugly and turned around so that you couldn’t reach the zipper. “You’re our guest on this trip, remember? Everything is already paid for.”
You didn’t need reminding. You knew you were tagging along for free- it had been one of the ways Jisung had convinced you to come, but you still felt guilty. It felt like you were taking advantage of the Hans, even if you were doing Jisung a favor.
You stuck your bottom lip out in a pout, catching the attention of Minho who chuckled at your pathetic little display.
“That’s cute, but our parents are both earth signs. Stubbornness runs in the family.”
You cocked your head at Minho in intrigue. “You know your parents’ zodiac signs?”
“Yeah, why?”
“No reason, I just think that’s interesting,” you hummed. “Out of curiosity, do you know your rising sign?”
“Scorpio. Why?”
You turned and gave Jisung a look. He nodded in confirmation and you both mouthed whore at each other. You turned back towards Minho and smiled fakely.
“Again, just curious.”
“Here are your tickets, kids,” Nikki announced from her spot at the ticket booth, ushering the four of you forward. “We’re giving you two hours to explore. You can go off by yourselves or stay together, but your father and I are going to start with the sculptures.”
“That’s their way of telling us they don’t want to hang out with us,” Felix whispered loudly.
Nikki gave her son a cold glare and shook her head at him. “Not funny.”
“I thought it was pretty funny,” he pushed.
“And you wonder why we don’t want to hang out with you guys,” Dom said pointedly.
All three of the boys groaned or rolled their eyes at their father and swiped a ticket from their mother. Your little group made their way over to the security line while Nikki and Dom split off in another direction.
“They’re already embarrassed to be seen with us,” Jisung scoffed.
“They’re just getting coffees,” Minho assured him, nodding in the direction of the café where they were standing in line.
“They never drink coffee,” Felix said, “so they are definitely embarrassed of us.”
“I would be too,” you sighed, already tired of them. It wasn’t even noon yet.
“Well you’re stuck with us.” Jisung smiled and wrapped his arms around your waist from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder.
“Don’t remind me,” you groaned.
He dragged you by the hand behind his brothers to the back of the line, where you waited patiently to be admitted into the museum. They had you empty your pockets and place bags on a conveyor belt to be scanned like they did at the airport. Jisung explained that security had been upgraded in the past few years as France didn’t have very many… fans internationally.
“You colonize a few dozen countries and run their economies into the ground and suddenly you’re the bad guy,” you said sarcastically, earning a shush from Minho at the front of the line as he approached the security guard.
“How many are in your party?” the man asked.
“Four.”
He eyed your group in a bored sort of manner and motioned you forward one at a time through the metal detector. Once through, you followed Jisung and his brothers through the main hall and up an escalator into one of the galleries.
It wasn’t nearly as crowded as the lobby had been, and it was much quieter. Visitors meandered around the room in small groups or solo, admiring the paintings on the walls thoughtfully.
Minho and Felix moved further and further ahead of you and Jisung as you walked through the gallery. They were clearly less interested in the art than you were, but you didn’t mind. Jisung stuck by your side, but you knew he was only doing so to humor you. He didn’t care about some old fucking paintings and he didn’t give a fuck about the “pretentious white men” who painted them. You didn’t know much about art, aside from the one art history class you took your sophomore year, but you still enjoyed looking at the pretty pictures.
You had never had the opportunity to see history up close like this, and it captivated you. Each brush stroke was discernible, individual. You could reach out and touch the canvas if you wanted to, though you would certainly be kicked out on the spot.
Jisung hung back, a few paces behind you. You could feel his gaze on the back of your head, observing you observing the art. You tried not to linger too long in front of each painting, not wanting to lose Minho and Felix completely.
As you made your way through the gallery you noticed a woman with long black hair perched upon one of the velvet benches with a sketchpad in her hands. She was drawing a replica of the piece in front of her, a painting by Lorenzo Pasinelli titled Sainte Cecile chantant. You watched the woman with the sketchbook trace careful lines on her paper with a chunk of graphite. She etched the portrait quietly, leaning around onlookers who blocked her view. You were in awe of her. The way she effortlessly copied the painting onto paper, the way she was in her own little world, unbothered by the crowd around her.
“C’mon, baby,” Jisung urged gently with a nudge of his elbow. He waited until you were out of the woman’s earshot to mutter, “you were into her, weren’t you?”
You pushed him off of you in annoyance. “So what if I was?”
“I’m your boyfriend, remember?”
“I was just admiring her art,” you said defensively.
“Uh huh, you were admiring something all right.”
“I hate you.”
“Remember our list of rules?”
You rolled your eyes and dropped your voice to a whisper. “I wasn’t going to hook up with her. I doubt I even know enough French to ask her if she likes girls.”
“You did see her earrings, right? They were strawberries.”
“You’re not allowed to say things like that, okay?”
“It was just an observation!”
“A stereotypical one.”
“All I’m saying is she would’ve been into you, given the chance.”
“Do you want me to remain abstinent or not?” you huffed in frustration, “because you’re giving me mixed signals.”
Jisung shook his head, double stepping to catch up with you and grab your hand in his own. “Sorry, old wingman habits die hard I guess.”
You chuckled and let him lead you back behind his brothers despite your longing glances towards paintings you merely passed by. Minho and Felix were bickering about something when you rejoined them at the end of the hall, but you couldn’t be bothered to ask what. Jisung, on the other hand-
“What are you guys fighting about?”
Minho turned sharply on his heel to face his younger brother, causing the two of you to nearly crash into him. “We’re not fighting.”
“Okay, what are you guys talking about,” Jisung amended.
“Trying to decide where to go next.”
“And what are you debating between?” you asked.
“Minho says we should go see the Mona Lisa next since there’s always a line and we only have a couple hours here, but I think it’s a waste of time,” Felix explained. “The Mona Lisa is just an overrated painting that brings in tourists.”
“We are tourists,” Jisung pointed out to his twin.
“And y/n’s never seen it before, dumbass” Minho added. “It wouldn’t be fair to deprive her of that.”
“We don’t all have to go together,” you said hurriedly. “Your parents said we could break off into groups.”
The boys seemed to give your suggestion a moment of thought before Minho spoke up again. “Well I kind of want to see it too,” he admitted.
Felix rolled his eyes. “You could’ve just said that, idiot.”
-
The line for the Mona Lisa was long, as Felix had predicted, and you had to trek all the way back out into the lobby under the glass pyramid just to be admitted into the gallery it was held in.
“It feels like we’re in line for a rollercoaster,” you said offhandedly when it had been silent for a bit too long.
“Trust me, this is much less fun than a rollercoaster,” Felix grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Don’t be a dick,” Jisung chided.
“I was just being honest.”
“Be a little less honest then.”
Silence fell over the group again and the four of you traded wary looks, shuffling forward when the queue moved every so often. It was still only ten a.m. and you felt like you needed a nap. You tried listening in on the conversations around you, but couldn’t understand any of them. The couple in front of you was speaking French much too fast for you to keep up with and the family behind you was joking in German.
Jisung nudged your shoulder gently and gave you a look that you understood immediately. You cleared your throat and took a minute to think while Jisung held up all ten of his fingers.
“Never have I ever missed an exam because I was hungover.”
“That’s targeting! That’s not fair!” Jisung protested.
“No it’s not! How am I supposed to know if you’ve ever done that?”
“Because I called you about it immediately when it happened.”
“Oops, must’ve forgotten,” you lied, trying to hide a smile.
“You wanna play like that? Fine, never have I ever blacked out on a first date.”
You narrowed your eyes at your fake boyfriend and begrudgingly put a finger down.
“What are you doing?” Felix asked suddenly, leaning over to watch.
“Playing Never Have I Ever. We play whenever we have time to kill,” Jisung said.
“Wanna join?” you offered. Minho and Felix shrugged and held up their hands. “Okay, but we’re starting over to make it fair.”
“And this time no targeting,” your best friend sneered, glaring at you.
You held up your hands innocently. “I have no idea what he’s talking about.”
“Go ahead, babe, you start,” Jisung prompted you, winking.
You knew you had to tread carefully in front of Jisung’s brothers so you started with an easy one. “Um, never have I ever been in a fight.”
You looked around the circle expectantly, but the only one who put a finger down was Minho.
You raised your eyebrows in surprise. “Really? When have you been in a fight?”
“He’s probably lost count by now,” Jisung whispered not so quietly.
“It was only a couple!” Minho said defensively. “Anyway, never have I ever been to college.”
“I think that counts as targeting, but whatever,” you muttered to yourself as you and Jisung put a finger down simultaneously.
Jisung took his turn next. “Never have I ever flirted with someone to get something for free.”
You and Minho both sheepishly put a finger down while Felix shook his head in judgment. He was the only one with all of his fingers still up. You, on the other hand, were tied with Minho for the most fingers down.
Felix took a second to think about it before taking his turn. “Never have I ever had a threesome.”
You pursed your lips and lowered a finger while Jisung’s brothers looked at you in shock. They both turned back to see if Jisung had put a finger down too, but he hadn’t, leaving them to draw their own conclusions.
“It was before we started dating,” you supplied, not offering any other details. Your fake boyfriend’s brothers didn’t need to know that you had actually had more than one, and that the last one had been just three months ago, or that it was at a sorority party. You were in deep enough as it was.
The game stopped there as you were finally let into the gallery where the Mona Lisa was on display. There were a couple more rows of the queue to get through, but it appeared to be moving fast. The security guards were urging the crowd along, scolding anyone who lingered in front of the painting for longer than a couple of seconds.
You tried peering over the heads of the people in front of you, but they were too tall. You were forced to wait patiently for your turn to see her like everyone else. The pathway widened a little when you got to the front, allowing for more people to pass in front of the glass case and take pictures. You pushed your way to the front of the little section and pressed yourself against the metal bar to get a good look.
You didn’t want to admit it, but Felix was right. The Mona Lisa was overrated. And tiny. The painting was beautiful, that much was true, but you knew the only reason it was hailed as a masterpiece was because it had been stolen over a hundred years ago and then miraculously recovered. You still remembered that bit of trivia from Art History 101. Your professor would be proud.
You leaned closer and snapped a picture with your phone to commemorate the experience. You had seen it, the most famous painting in the world, with your own two eyes and now you could mark it off your bucket list.
“Keep moving!”
You jerked your head in the direction of the voice and locked eyes with a security guard who gestured for you to get out of the way. He had probably already yelled at you in French and when you didn’t realize the order was directed at you assumed you were an ignorant American- which you were, but you were still offended.
You turned around to look for Jisung, but he wasn’t behind you. In fact, none of the Hans were. You double-checked and then triple-checked, but they were nowhere to be seen. Maybe they were waiting for you at the end of the line…
But when you made your way to the end, they weren’t there either. You tried not to panic, they had to be somewhere close by- they wouldn’t just leave you, right? It wasn’t like you could call Jisung either because your data plan still wouldn’t be activated for a few more hours. A brief search of the gallery turned up nothing. They were gone.
Now you were beginning to panic. You hadn’t discussed a meeting place if one of you were to get lost. Even if you had, you wouldn’t know how to get there. The palace was fucking huge, and Jisung was the one with the map.
You followed the flow of traffic through the big arched doorway at the other end of the hall that led into yet another gallery with plum-colored walls. You were breaking the number one rule of being lost, which was to stay where you were, but you were feeling desperate. You felt like it was your fault you got separated from the group so you needed to be the one to find them. The paintings and artworks on the wall were a blur, you barely paid attention to them as you searched the exhibit.
On the verge of tears, you trailed behind a group of visitors down one of the main staircases, watery eyes frantically searching the crowd until you recognized a familiar face staring back. Minho was standing on the staircase opposite to you, frozen in place, eyes wide in relief.
Immediately he began pushing through the mass of people, fighting against the tide to get to you. You did the same and met him halfway where he crushed you into a hug.
“Oh my god, what the fuck is wrong with you?” he demanded, arms still around you.
You stiffened in his embrace, unsure of what to do. Do you hug him back? Do you push him off? You didn’t know. You decided to settle for what you hoped was a middle ground.
“Are you happy to see me or not?” you asked, getting mixed signals from a Han for the second time that day.
Minho let go of you finally and cleared his throat awkwardly. “I’m happy!” he assured you, “just don’t do that again, okay?”
You nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
“C’mon, let’s go find the twins. They were looking for you in the atrium.”
You walked alongside Minho in silence as you navigated the winding halls of the Louvre together. You wouldn’t let him go ahead of you. You were too afraid to lose him again.
“How long have you and Jisung been dating again?” he asked suddenly.
“Since November,” you answered automatically. “So a little less than a year. Why?”
He shrugged. “I was just curious. I know you guys were best friends before and it just makes me wonder how much changed after that transition.”
“What do you mean?”
Minho paused to gather his thoughts like he was choosing his words carefully. “Just that, you guys still seem like best friends, you know? Like you’re best friends first, in a relationship second. It’s really nice.”
You expected a ‘but’, you could practically hear it dangling from his lips- he stopped there, letting whatever he had been about to say dissipate in the space between you.
Your mind began to race. Did he suspect your little act? Was he unconvinced or did he know something? You needed to get back to Jisung.
Luckily when you turned the corner the stairway opened into a large room that you guessed to be the atrium. It was mostly empty, save for a few large marble statues and planters commanding the attention of all the nearby patrons. A sectioned glass roof hung overhead, bathing the room in natural light.
Jisung was standing a few meters away next to Felix with his hands in his pockets. You were running towards him before he even saw you. You grabbed him by the shoulders and threw yourself into him. He stumbled, but caught you and wrapped his arms around your waist. You didn’t let him get the chance to speak before you were kissing him. It was more passionate than usual, more than just a peck on the lips. You didn’t know if it was because you were so relieved to see him, or if you were trying to prove something to Minho.
He broke away and gave you a quizzical look.
“We need to have sex,” you whispered.
“What?” he hissed back, looking at you like you were crazy.
“Not for real- we just need to make them think we’re having sex,” you explained. Jisung followed your gaze over to his brothers. Felix had joined Minho by the entrance where they were now deep in discussion. “Minho isn’t convinced.”
Jisung nodded at you like it was decided and took a deep breath. “So, how are we going to do this?”
-
“What exactly did Minho say?”
You looked up from where you had been pacing in front of the bed. “What?” 
“What did Minho say? About us.” 
“He said it seems like we’re still best friends.”
“We are best friends.”
“But he said it like, we’re best friends first, dating second. And he said he wonders how much changed about our relationship after we started dating.”
“What did you tell him?” 
“Nothing, it was more like he was talking to himself. He asked me when we started dating and then mentioned it offhandedly.”
Jisung rubbed his hands on his jeans nervously and took a seat on the edge of the bed. “Why does he care?”
You shrugged and sat down next to him. “I don’t know. Maybe he was just trying to be a protective big brother?”
“Well he needs to mind his own business,” Jisung muttered. 
“C’mon, Ji give him a break! He’s trying to save you from getting your heart broken by an immoral, scheming harlot like me.”
Your best friend gave you an unimpressed look. “A harlot? Since when do you have the vocabulary of a fifteenth-century pirate?”
“Just thought I’d spice things up.”
“Promise me you won’t use it when we have pretend-sex in a couple of minutes?”
You frowned. “You mean you don’t want me to call you ‘matey’ in bed?”
“Absolutely not. Us fucking is already weird enough.”
“You don’t know what you’re missing out on,” you insisted. “Anyway, Minho was probably just looking out for you.”
“I don’t know about that,” he said doubtfully. 
“What do you mean?” you asked. 
“Nothing,” Jisung brushed it off with an abrupt subject change. “Now about us having sex… what’s the plan?”
“We just… do what they did in Easy A. Hotel walls are thin, right? They’ll be able to hear us.”
“You really think that’ll work?”
“It’s the best I’ve got.”
Jisung sighed and ran a hand through his hair, further emphasizing his disheveled appearance. You put your hand over his and laced your fingers together. 
“Should we start like… now?” Jisung asked, checking his watch.
“Maybe wait a few minutes?” you suggested. “It’s kind of early. We could start at eleven.”
“Wouldn’t they think it’s weird that we’re having sex at eleven on the dot?”
“Fine then, eleven oh two.”
“I’ll pencil it in,” Jisung joked, causing you to yank your hand out of his in disdain. 
While you waited for the scheduled time to roll around you got ready for bed. You showered the day off, letting the hot water ease some of the tension from your sore muscles. You knew you’d be worse off in the morning, but you hoped that a steamy shower would at least help a little. Jisung showered next as you slipped into pajamas and went through your nightly routine. You were never very good at remembering to moisturize, or do any skincare for that matter, but you were determined to make it a habit by the end of the summer. 
You scrolled through your phone anxiously while you waited for Jisung to get out of the shower. You didn’t know why you were so nervous, this wasn’t even the most intimate thing you’d done together. You’ve kissed dozens of times before by now- you’d watched porn together for christ’s sake. Why was this the breaking point?
The couple glasses of wine you’d had at dinner to hype yourself up for tonight were starting to wear off. The pleasant buzz was gradually fading and being replaced by sober realization. Jisung’s brothers weren’t your only neighbors. Other guests were staying on the opposite side of you as well. They would surely hear you if you were going to be loud enough for Minho and Felix to hear you- was it even worth it? To put some poor strangers through your improv act? No, you were already too far in. You had made your bed, now you had to lie in it. Literally. 
Jisung emerged from the bathroom with a towel in his hand, using it to shake his curls dry. He’d changed into his version of pajamas- a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt and grinned when he saw you were wearing pretty much the same thing. 
“Ready?” he asked, tossing the towel to the side.
“Wait, Jisung, I just realized-”
“What is it?”
“I’m still on my period.”
“So?”
You blinked. “So… it wouldn’t make sense to have sex?”
“Why not?”
“Because it would make a big mess!”
“I’m still not seeing an issue,” Jisung said matter-of-factly. “Have you never had period sex before?”
“Have you?” you countered. 
“Yeah, you haven’t?”
You shook your head. “No, none of the guys I’ve been with were down for it. And I was too nervous to ask the girls.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot you only date losers,” he quipped with a smirk. 
“Need I remind you who I’m pretend-dating right now?” 
Jisung pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes at you. “I doubt Minho even remembers you’re on your period,” he pointed out. “And if he does he won’t think anything of it. Period sex is normal.”
“Fine, okay. What time is it?”
“Eleven-oh-four.”
“Shit, we better get started then.”
Jisung just nodded and joined you on the bed. He kneeled in front of the headboard and wrapped a hand around the frame. You looked to your best friend for the go-ahead and winked when he gave you the thumbs-up. 
You cleared your throat awkwardly, suddenly aware of the echo in the otherwise silent room. You weren’t even naked, but you felt so exposed. For someone who prided themselves on being so sexually expressive you were choking. But Jisung was looking at you expectantly and the clock was ticking so you mustered up what little courage you had and let out a soft moan. 
“Louder,” Jisung urged. 
You shot him a dirty look but did as he instructed, raising your voice an octave. Jisung grinned in approval and gestured with his hand, encouraging you to continue. 
“Why don’t you have a turn?” you demanded. “Making your girlfriend do all the work? That’s not very gentleman-like.”
“In my head, this is just foreplay, so I’m like fingering you or something. We’re not actually having sex yet.”
“Oh sorry, I didn’t realize our porno had a narrative,” you hissed.
Jisung rolled his eyes at you. “Just keep moaning.”
“Ji,” you whined loudly, unmoving on the bed where you were flipping him off. “Fuck, Jisung! Feels so good!”
“Yeah, baby?” he asked, finally breaking his silence. 
“So good,” you repeated breathily. 
Jisung released his hold on the headboard so that it could start to knock against the wall you shared with his brothers as you both rocked your hips to simulate the pace of sex. 
“Fuck,” Jisung grunted and you’d be lying if you said your stomach didn’t twist at that. 
You supposed this was the part in the storyline where you were actually having sex, so you tried to make yourself sound as needy and desperate as possible. 
“God, Jisung, don’t stop!”
Jisung rammed the bed frame against the wall even harder and groaned your name, clapping a hand to his thigh to make it sound like he was slapping your ass. You continued to beg and plead for a few more minutes before you both decided to kick it up a notch. Jisung put a hand around his throat, motioning for you to act like you were being choked. 
How did he know you liked to be choked?
Lucky guess.
You took his suggestion and closed a hand around your throat to muffle your moans. You were out of breath, for real now, from all of the flailing around and jumping and choking yourself that you were just about ready to wrap it up.
“Should we cum now?” you whispered.
“How long has it been?”
“I dunno, like five minutes?”
“You think I’d only last five minutes?” Jisung accused.
“I think five minutes is being generous,” you scoffed. 
“Fine, but you first.”
You sighed tiredly and prepared yourself for the crescendo. You stretched your arms above your head and moaned in relief as your muscles tensed and relaxed, arching your back off the bed dramatically. 
“Fuck, Ji. Right there right there right there,” you cried, loud enough for the whole fucking city of Paris to hear you. “Yes, yes, yes!” 
“You look so fucking hot like this, y/n,” Jisung praised, catching you by surprise. 
You whipped your head over to stare at him, but he wasn’t even looking at you. He was scrolling through Twitter with one hand while rocking the headboard back and forth with the other. 
You rolled your eyes at his multitasking and continued moaning obnoxiously like an amateur pornstar. You “finished” first with another string of curses and Jisung’s name and he followed shortly behind you, voice wavering as he slowed the motion of the bed. 
Jisung flopped back on the bed next to you wordlessly. You were both still catching your breath and processing everything that had happened. You pressed your fingers to the pulsepoint on your neck and began to count. Out of all the walking you already did today, faking sex with Jisung was the most cardio-heavy by far. 
“I think that was my best performance ever,” you said proudly once your lungs didn’t feel like they were burning from the inside out. 
“What are you comparing it to?” Jisung asked, turning his head to look at you properly. 
“My third grade VBS concert, my entire high school theater experience, telling customers it was a pleasure to serve them, faking orgasms with frat guys, do you need me to keep going?” 
He chuckled. “You were an excellent co-star.”
“You weren’t too bad yourself. Do you think they’ll buy it?”
“Definitely, but if you want to seal the deal I might have an idea.”
“What is it?”
“I give you a hickey.”
You bolted upright. “Are you serious?”
“Not an obvious one, it’ll be easy to hide.” 
“Then what’s the point of having it in the first place?”
Jisung shrugged. “You cover it with makeup in the morning, but not so much that it’ll wear off later in the day when my parents aren’t around. If Minho is really as nosy as we think, he’ll definitely notice it and stop asking questions.”
“You don’t think it’ll just lead to more questions? Who’s to say he’s going to be looking at my neck anyway?”
“Oh he will be,” Jisung said confidently. 
“How do you know?”
“I just do.” 
“Fine, fuck it,” you groaned, giving in. “Go easy, though, okay?”
Your best friend smirked. “No promises.”
You pushed down your shirt to expose more of your neck and shoulders and scooted closer to him on the bed. You rolled your head to the side to give him easy access. He brushed your hair out of the way and leaned down so that he was just inches away from your collarbone. His breath tickled your skin as he hovered above you, deciding where to mark you. You flinched when you felt his teeth sink into the tender skin just below your jaw. You held back a yelp and tried to relax, but the sheer absurdity of it all was getting to you. And it tickled. Jisung licked the spot he had just bitten and then began to suck on it, eliciting a sheer squeal from you. 
“Shh!” He had broken away to scold you. 
“You know I’m ticklish!” you argued back defensively. 
“Try to stay still.”
“What do you think I’m doing?”
Jisung placed a hand on each of your shoulders to hold you down as he went back to work. By the time he was finished your neck was sore from holding it in an uncomfortable position for so long and your left hand had fallen asleep. 
“There,” he said finally, satisfaction clear on his face. 
You got up to go look in the mirror in front of the bathroom to evaluate his artistry. Right on your neck in plain view was a fresh bruise, blooming purple underneath your skin. 
“Jisung, this is huge!” you complained. 
“It’ll go down in the morning!” he insisted. 
“I know how hickeys work, genius. It’s still fucking giant.”
“It’s not as bad as you think it is, okay? Now come on, let’s go to bed.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rays of the sun above glowed warm against your skin as you joined Master Kenobi outside on the steps of the Jedi Temple. It felt good to breathe the outside air, it's only too bad that the air you smelled was some of the galaxy's most polluted. It was your first week with him, and things were going okay, but you couldn't help but feel the relentless tension pulling at you both every time you were near him. It must be just the discomfort of something new, you thought.
"Ah, there he is" Obi Wan spoke up, referencing the tall, young Jedi that walked toward you both. His black robes set him apart from the way the others presented themselves, and his hair fell to his shoulders, wavy and slightly unkempt.
“Y/N I’d like you to meet Anakin” Your new Master introduced you to his other padawan. Anakin had already taken on his own padawan, due to how advanced his skills were, and the fact that a new wave of younglings had thrown off the balance of masters and apprentices.
“Nice to meet you” You smiled warmly at him.
“You as well. I hear you’ll be training under Master Kenobi now” He stated, more to make conversation rather than actual wonder. Master Kenobi had already told him about you.
“Yes, I was reassigned from Master Ti” You clarified. You tried not to hold any embarrassment for being a ‘late bloomer’, but sometimes it was hard to hide.
“I see, well, it will be good to have someone else around to keep Obi Wan busy” Anakin laughed, his childlike humor coming out in conversation.  You giggled in response.
“Yes, because you don’t keep me busy enough with your antics” Obi Wan rolled his eyes sarcastically.
"I try" Anakin smirked.
The banter made you feel more welcome in their circle. It could be uncomfortable, being a new padawan in such a tightly knit group of Jedi, but Anakin's humor calmed your racking nerves during the first few days.
“Ah yes, and now there are two of you to question my teachings” Obi Wan laughed, his hand falling to rest on your lower back. He almost pulled it away, and you felt his uncertainty, but you embraced the feeling nonetheless. It was innocent, of course, at least that's what you'd both convince yourselves was the case.
"What system are you from?"
"Oh, um, Outer Rim. Jelucan" You cleared your throat. Jelucan was not known for tourism or visitors, especially considering how far away it was from all the major systems.
"Jelucan. I think I may have visited there before" Anakin pondered. Maybe he had, but you would've remembered seeing a Jedi if he had come anywhere near your village.
"It's very mountainous, but beautiful. Its been my home for my entire life. Until now, of course"
"We should visit it soon, I'd love to see it" Anakin suggested. You knew that was not a good idea. It was already challenging trying to detach yourself from your old life, but visiting would make that even harder. Most younglings or padawans don't struggle with this, because their training starts very young and they don't remember much from wh.
"Anakin" Master Kenobi scolded, reminding him to be mindful of his tendency to get attached.
"She's 18, Obi Wan, she spent all those years with her family and you really think she won't want to go and visit them?" Anakin scoffed, his tone growing annoyed very quickly. It was unsettling, at first, but you had to remind yourself how long these two had known each other.
"Let's go, Y/N" Obi Wan guided you, his hand still rested against the curve of your back, barely evident through the thick of your robes, but enough to give you butterflies.
You understood his concern, and he had every right to scold Anakin for his suggestion, but remembering the fact that you may never see your family again did put a sharp ache in your heart.
"I am sorry for him" Master Kenobi shook his head as he looked down to his feet while you descended the stairs together.
"Master Kenobi, its no problem" You assured him.
"I feel he is my responsibility. Especially when he is wrong. He loses sight of what's right sometimes, and I feel...I feel like I failed somewhere" He sounded so shameful and so vulnerable. You felt for him, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be telling you this".
"You cannot blame yourself, Master Kenobi. People have their own personalities and intentions regardless of who had any influence of their upbringing" You began, trying to make him feel better, "My sister came from the same loving parents that I did, but hated them, disowned us, left home at 16, and told us she'd never see us again. But there I was not too long ago, wondering if leaving my parents, the kindest people I've ever known, was the right decision".
"They are proud of you, Y/N. As am I," Obi Wan stopped with you at the foot of the stairs, making sure to make eye contact with you, so his sincerity was felt at its full capacity.
"I don't feel that I have had the chance to prove myself for you yet Master, but thank you" You smiled.
"I am proud of your resilience. It is so rare to start training this late in life, and it's not typically acknowledged how hard it is to part ways with the life you've always known when you're already an adult" He placed his gentle hand upon your shoulder. It warmed you, deep in your heart, to hear him say such kind words to you.
Tumblr media
There was no time to ask why or how that tracker ended up in the backpack. There was no time for anything.
The Empire found you and Obi Wan, Darth Vader’s most wanted fugitives, and you had a sinking feeling in your gut you couldn’t run from this. Not this time.
The sanded ground beneath you shook violently, accompanied by a loud wave of crashing. They were blowing their way into the base.
You turned to look at Obi Wan, and caught the sight of a frightened, traumatized man. A man who’d do anything he could to protect you, but feared his ability to do so was stretched thin.
“He’s here” He whispered painfully.
“Who?” You asked timidly.
He hesitated, as if any amount of time taken to think about this would’ve helped him fully process that he was really alive, “Anakin”.
The air was sucked from your lungs. It wasn’t that you’d forgotten such a shocking revelation, but you’d certainly tried to push it from the forefront of your mind as the reality of it settled in. In all the panic of the blaring alarms and fearing for your life, you hadn’t even considered that it was he who had tracked you down.
Obi Wan sensed it, as the force still bound them together, and without a doubt, knew he was near. Anakin didn’t send just his troops or inquisitors to come and find you, he came to get you both himself, and it sent a chill down your spine. Remembering the power and skill in the force that Anakin wielded even back when you were Jedi together, you shivered to anticipate how the dark side had only strengthened his power more.
“Obi Wan” You called to him, trying to get his attention.
Instead of saying a word to you, he rushed to you, and passionately pressed his keeps hard against yours, his body language telling you all you needed to know…he was scared, and so were you.
He held the kiss for as long as he could, never wanting to part his mouth from yours when there was even the slightest chance you never would again.
Obi Wan grabbed only his lightsaber while you grabbed the backpack. Turning the corner as you left your room, it was clear that chaos was already ensuing. The ceiling of this particular landing pad that opened to allow ships in was obliterated, shrapnel and debris scattered the ground below. The other refugees and volunteers of this outpost were already armed, awaiting the forced landing of stormtroopers.
“Stay behind me, Y/N” He instructed, his arm creating a barrier around you as you hovered closely behind him.
“We need to go” You pleaded.
“We’re not leaving these people to fend for themselves” he stated firmly, turning behind to look at you, “The Empire is here because of us. It’s our fault they’ve come to Jambiim”
“I know. You’re right” You admitted. It was selfish to want to flee, you knew it was, but you knew this wouldn’t end well for either of you.
Cal and Cere were already standing in a ready position, guarding those who were more vulnerable and more scared. With time fighting against you, Obi Wan turned around and gripped your shoulders, holding your gaze as if he may never have it again.
“If we are taken, I will find you” He assured you.
“And if we’re killed?” Your voice cracked as your eyes welled with tears.
“He won’t” Obi Wan quickly responded. He couldn’t know that. Anakin wasn’t Anakin anymore.
“Obi Wa-” You sighed at his delusion
“Hush now, we don’t have time. You are strong, and we will be fine” He assured you, before pushing you back behind him as you moved into the landing port.
“I love you” Your lip quivered as you said it.
“I love you my dear” He smiled softly before planting one last peck on your lips.
“Cal, get these people out of here” Cere yelled across the caves.
“Y/N, there’s a corridor around the back way. It leads to a civilian transport ship. We are getting the others out of here. Please, come with-” Cere begged, her trembling hands gripping yours tight.
“No, this is personal. This is our fault. We will try and hold them off” You began, "Please. Don't wait for us". Cere stared at you in disbelief and deep conflict within herself as to whether she wanted to take that as an answer. She gave up on her internal fight quickly, knowing that time was of the essence now.
Quickly she threw her arms around you, pulling you into her, “May the force be with you, my friend”, you hugged her back and nodded to her and Cal as they corralled the rest of the people who were not able to fight out the back, and onto safety. Those that stayed prepared for what was about to come.
The moments that followed were truly the ultimate test of how well your training had stuck with you all these years. Somehow, you were managing, dodging blaster fire and melee combat from the sea of stormtroopers that spilled from that previously sealed door to the landing pad they’d landed their ship on. You wished you’d had your lightsaber, but that was lost so long ago, all you had were your hands, your stealth, and the blaster given to you only moments before you were invaded.
Obi Wan stayed close, careful to defend himself, the innocent refugees, and most importantly to him, you. You were in awe of his ability to stay so focused. The lingering dread in his heart could be felt by you, and probably every force user in the outpost. They wouldn’t know why, only that it was a frightening situation. They wouldn’t know that Obi Wan feared looking in the face of the man he thinks he failed.
After some time, you were fully convinced that the army of troopers would never end. It felt like a constant loop playing in your head
Then, time slowed to a screeching halt as an ominous, black pair of boots peeked through the visibility of the ship ramp. You forgot to breathe, anticipating Anakin’s arrival, but instead, unmasked feminine features came to view. Only a split second of slight relief was felt before absolute sorrow overcame you.
Reva…
But, how?
You could never forget her face. You were children together. She was a few years younger than you, but with your late start in training in the force, often you’d be in training together. She was kind, determined, and above all else, she was a leader. But no…she was dead. You saw her lay slain in the halls of the temple that horrid night. How is she alive? How did she end up here?
But, she’s here, she’s angry, and she’s just caught your gaze.
“You” She scoffed, pointing right to where you stood. 
“Reva…what…how are you alive?” You called across to her, the weakness of disbelief riddling your tone.
“I don’t know what you mean, Y/N” Reva smirked, raising her arms in sarcastic denial. She must’ve only been unconscious when you escaped the temple, that had to be the only explanation.
“Why are you doing this? Why have you joined them?” You cried. You felt betrayed, somehow taking her decision personally.
“Let’s just say…it’s for the greater good” She held her sadistic smirk.
In all your shock, disbelief, and denial, you didn’t even notice the stormtrooper that charged you from behind, knocking you to the ground. You countered him quickly, disarming him and taking his life with the very blaster he’d just held in his hand. Killing someone, even the enemy, never felt right. And it never would. What felt worse, is the possibility that some of these troopers may have been clones. That was a thought that you had to continuously push from your mind.
Reva had focused in on Obi Wan, taking advantage of your distraction, fully engaging in a lightsaber battle now. You believed in his abilities, but it did not make you any less scared to watch him go head-to-head with her.
As you pointed your blaster at her, your body was jerked involuntarily and dragged toward the opening of the ship, causing you to drop your weapon. You screamed from the startling feeling, which immediately pulled Obi Wan’s attention. Reva was unfazed, still working against Obi Wan, and it was clear that it was not her use of the force that pulled you and now held you still. You struggled to get your footing, wanting so desperately to fight the force and break the connection but you were too weak to fight it with your own abilities and how they’d weakened over time.
“Y/N!” Obi Wan yelled. With his guard down, Reva swung the blade of her saber over Obi Wan’s head.
“Obi Wan!” You screamed back, shortly before the voice was ripped from your throat by the force that held you. You'd alerted him just in time, his blade colliding with hers only milliseconds away from serious injury, if not death.
Nausea formed in your stomach from such a close call. Obi Wan was absolutely panicked, but would perish if stopped his fight with Reva. The conflict he felt within him was unbearable. Your heart skipped a beat but settled only slightly when you remembered that someone had a hold on you, and you had a terrifying suspicion that it was him.
A modulated breath, one that struck you as so familiar, came from behind you, heavy boots against the metal ship ramp accompanying the haunting sound.
Anakin.
You'd heard that sound in your nightmares...but how?
The motion of your limbs may have been restricted, but your sight was unhindered as you watched the life drain from Obi Wan's face when he put his eyes on Vader. Reva halted her attacks, turning now to knock Obi Wan onto his knees, and wrapped her force hold around him now as well, so he could only watch what would happen next.
Vader's voice almost shook you out of your own skin as he called to Reva from directly behind you, "I will take the girl. Leave him".
His voice was changed to something so bone-chilling, likely from the damage he’d taken in the last moments Obi Wan saw him. He’d told you in as little detail as possible how it all went down, and why he thought Anakin had died. He believed that no human, Jedi or not, could survive that.
But he did.
Nothing about Vader looked or sounded like Anakin, but it was the force that assured you both. It was him, not a doubt about it.
You feared for your life but feared for Obi Wan's even more. In all the chaos you hadn’t even noticed that the refugees and Jedi that had stayed, retreated and fled through the corridor and to the transport ship, but so many of them never made it. The bodies of the fallen lay cold and still beside from the armored men that attacked them. You swallowed your tears, trying so hard not to show your weakness right now.
Anakin…no, Vader’s phantom hold on you felt debilitating, wrapping tighter around your entire being, making it feel hard to breathe.
"Bind her" Vader commanded, and without hesitation, two stormtroopers moved to ensure your stationary position and wrap your trembling wrists in binders. The force released you. Now restrained only by the cold metal against your skin, you were pulled to your feet.
Obi Wan kneeled there, still restrained by powerful use of force from the Inquisitor, completely helpless, “I don’t understand”, He muttered, not comprehending why Vader would take you and not him, and why he was allowing Obi Wan to even live now that he’d found you both.
“He doesn’t need you Obi Wan. Not now, anyways. He only needs her” Reva smirked, gesturing to where you stood, bent over with your hands cuffed.
How vile and sadistic. Kidnap the one who’s most important to him, right before his eyes, and Vader will have him on a string for as long as he pleases. For a second, you wondered how much they knew about your relationship, and if they knew it was deeper than what it once was.
“Lord Vader, it seems your former friends have grown very…close” Reva insinuated, inevitably picking up on the bond that had fused the two of you together in the force. She felt that it was intimate, and was happy to discover that you just became so much more valuable to them.
“Is that so? Interesting” Vader’s tone was still cold, but held a hint of intrigue.
"Anakin” He faltered as he said it, feeling Anakin’s name leave his lips again startled himself, “Stop this. You know it is not her that you want" Obi Wan begged, his broken voice shattering as he knew his begging was wasted breath.
"Anakin is dead, Obi Wan" Vader responded with haste, ignoring his plea. 
It was frighteningly clear to him that there was nothing he could do to save you right now. Nothing that you leave you both unharmed.
“I’m sorry” He whispered to you, his face and voice broken with grief. He was defeated as he looked at your petrified and hopeless expression. For the first time in a long time, Obi Wan had lost. He could only watch as they dragged you away onto their ship. You felt your heart shatter into countless pieces as he finally disappeared from your view. It was at that moment that the same sinking, gut-wrenching feeling you’d felt the night you escaped the temple attacked you now.
You’d just got Obi Wan back, and now he was gone again, all in the blink of an eye, all because of Anakin.
You tried to look at him for as long as you could, but it was only fleeting as you were rushed onto their imperial ship. Panic washed over you, but you had to keep breathing. You had to stay strong.
The halls of the ship were dark and void of any feeling of life. The clanking of armor and metal filled the space as the only sounds you could hear, along with the dull roaring of the ship’s engine as it prepped to take you far away from here…away from Obi Wan. You could only listen as Reva threw him to the ground, releasing her hold, as she rushed to join you and Vader back on the ship.
There was a feeling of relief, knowing he was safe for now. You hoped he was able to join Cere and Cal on the transport ship before it launched.
The holding cell you were brought to was exactly what you expected. Cold, empty, and had one seat designed for your binders to attach to the back. As you were manhandled into the seat, you winced in pain as your cuts and bruises from fighting were finally making themselves known. You’ll adrenaline had subsided, no longer blinding you to the pain.
“Better get cozy, you’ll be here a while” one of the stormtroopers joked, finding your situation to be amusing.
Not exactly cozy, but you found comfort in your meditation. The constant lull of the ship’s sounds was slowly starting to fade. It may have been hours that passed before you heard heavy footsteps travel down the hall on the other side of your cell door.
The towering, haunting figure that was Lord Vader entered your cell. You stared him directly. You were afraid of the situation you were in, but you weren't really afraid of him. Your mind kept going back to the day you met him. You could never forget how kind he was to you.
“You’ll never find him again” You spat at him.
“We don’t have to. Obi Wan will find us” He paced the room slowly, “I suspect it won’t be long”.
“What have you become?” You scoffed, half angry, half heartbroken.
“What I’ve always been destined to become,” He said quickly, tired of your questions regarding the past, “I knew he always loved you. I could tell from the very beginning” He began, “which will certainly work in my favor”
“I’m not a fucking damsel in distress. You’re lucky I haven’t already gotten myself free” You were so fucking bluffing, but stars, you needed to convince even yourself that you didn't need to be saved.
“Without your precious lightsaber, you are nothing, Y/N” He snarled.
“We’ll see” You whispered, but had every intention of him hearing you.
You’d stopped believing in yourself the second that Vader had his hold on you and no amount of your own strength came close to fighting him. Obi Wan could train you, he could help you find your strength again, if you are ever able to be reunited. Seeing his face in your mind broke you, and you had to consider the serious possibility of never feeling his embrace again.
He wouldn’t want you to give up, so you would try to persevere…for him, but as Vader left the holding cell, all you were left with was your thoughts, and that was the most serious threat... yourself.

Hey chat!! Reminder that creators do not serve you, they don't have to make anything for you. (This is an attack! felt like being violent and fucked up today. Feel free to comment or repost with opinions, no full on arguing just debating with reason and no death threats unless slash jay. also feel free to give me more absurd opinions to cover when I feel, I love writing) TW: YAPPING
You’re allowed to be upset and disappointed but nobody should be blaming the creators for what was just a bit, a joke, maybe even a funny. Little bit of fucking haha. They are just a bunch of people, dudes, strangers that honestly don’t give a fuck about you because you likely amount NOTHING to their lives other than a nasty comment.
the shit some of you guys are pulling is just honestly not tolerable. You people need to understand they don't owe us shit, they gave us hlvrai, we move on. Now we have this luxury of hl2vrai and you guys are pissing yourselves over the fact you got pranked, embarrassed because you fell for it and got all mad and your giant bulbous yet delicate ego can't handle it. I know it must be so so hard, not having something handed to you right as you expect it, I'm sorry that it was served to you on a silver platter as you're used to it being like. </3 /sar
“Oh my, have you no self respect?” YOU ACT LIKE SOMEBODY WHO ENJOYS FUCKING COLESLAW. /neg
The only self respect you have is you thinking you’re the fucking center of the universe, quick space fact, the universe has no center!! You care only about how you feel and are close-minded, you care little about others and I personally think you need a reality check to hit you next time you forget to look both ways cause you’re too focused on the fact YOU need to get to the other side.
What we have, or at least I have, Is respect for OTHERS.. I know, fascinating isn't it? I feel like it should be a know thing that the creature you see everywhere, on the streets in the stores and in your home are in fact people like you. (Don't take my word on this chat not every critter you see is human but you get my point.)
No matter what happens to you, no matter how much this situation may inconvenience you. The world will go one without you, maybe even look back and regret the fact that you were allowed to learn past your ABC's because maybe such an vile opinion wouldn't exist.
"If they didn't want all this blah blah big fandom uhh bad fandom parts maybe not make content" They are still people, they don't owe you shit, uhh just because they made a joke doesn't mean they deserve any hate, if you were hurt from the joke again doesn't matter but for your sake ill say something like; While this was a bit disappointing at first, It's best you move on. Being hurt from something as little and unimportant as this is kind of unhealthy, It's best you move on, or be more positive. While we may have not gotten hl2vrai (we did but this is before that chat) we still got a cool stream, funny as fuck and there was a lot of cool crap in it. I mean did you see the cutscenes? The music? While it may not have been what you or I wanted we still got something while we could have had nothing.
Anyways, this isn't personal, if you see your arguments I'm just covering as much ground as possible to avoid confusion. I'm just being silly and getting facts out there!! im gonna sleep like a baby now.
TLDR: You're allowed to be upset, just don't be selfish pretty please?

Could you do Rui with a s/o that’s personality is like ena? (from nightcord) so like not Ena herself but the s/o is similar to her personality wise if that’s ok !
All Life is Ridiculously Pretty
Hi anon:] of course it’s ok! hope you like it
Rui with a reader similar to Ena Shinonome
Reader seeks validation (did u guys read on this blank canvas i paint… it’s one of the best event stories frfr), Akito is a shithead, brief mentions of both reader and Rui overworking
Tumblr media
How you and Rui met was… odd. It was at school but much later in the day. Him and Tsukasa were cleaning up one of his messes, and saw you, Ena, Toya and Akito.
Of course, Tsukasa had to join the group no matter how out of place he was. So Rui followed suit. And that’s when…
“I don’t want these two weirdos around my sister, they’re just going to make her weirder.”
“If you’re going to insult Ena you might as well insult me as well, there’s not much of a difference.” Oh?
Rui liked how straightforward you were with your words. He found himself chuckling at the conversation much to Akito’s annoyance.
“Face it Akito, you are what you hang out with! So that means you’re just as weird as the rest of us here. Sorry, Toya.”
Ena started laughing like a maniac when Akito stormed off with Toya, thanking you for putting her little brother in his place before heading to her night classes. Rui found your antics entertaining, you were so straightforward with your words and didn’t hold back, it felt refreshing.
“I don’t believe we’ve met before… who might you be?”
“F/N, F/N L/N. And I believe you’re Rui Kamishiro? I’ve heard about you from Akito and Mizuki. It’s nice to finally meet you.”
And that’s how it all started.
Tsukasa teases Rui about his crush often. He’ll call you over mid conversation with Rui just to see how he reacts. But he’s actually very smooth about it, carrying on a conversation with Tsukasa now including you very well and asking for your input.
When you tell Rui you do a lot of art, he starts asking for tips that can make his sketches of future projects look better. You’re slightly caught off guard that he immediately assumes you know so much, but appreciate it none the less.
Rui is always complimenting your art, even if it’s just a little doodle in class, he’s still telling you it looks perfect. You try to hide your embarrassment which barely works. His praise feels more important than other’s praise to you, so you try your best to make him notice any doodles you do in school or completed artwork.
You two also bond over how easily you can get absorbed in your work. Rui, who absorbs himself in all his robotic projects and you who absorbs yourself in your art. Both of you laugh at how much time passes without realizing once it’s finished. But in that same conversation, you remind each other it’s still important to take care of yourselves.
“As lovely as your art is, you’re needs should come first. Maybe next time you can set a timer to take a break?”
This is also how he finds out about your crave for attention and praise. You tell him that “breaks aren’t needed, but perfection is or else no one will notice.” He grows concerned by this, and promises that no matter how it looks he’ll be there to support your work.
That day you go home with a warm fuzzy feeling in your chest. ‘Even if it’s not perfect, he’ll still like it?’
After that conversation, you both came to realize how you really feel about each other. Rui wouldn’t simply always praise his other friends all the time for no reason, but he does with you. So why? Oh
You wouldn’t seek everyone’s opinion immediately after anything you do, Rui is always the first one you go to before anyone else. You weren’t like this before to anyone else, why now? Oh.
It took awhile, but you both realized!
You try to be subtle in your hints, lightly brushing your hand against his when you’re walking to the next class or slightly leaning towards him in a group setting. Rui however, is not subtle at all.
The hand brushes? He’s just going to take your hand in his. The leaning? He’s already putting his arm around you. And this guy keeps a straight face the whole time while you’re trying your hardest not to go red. It’s like a competition, who can make the other burst first?
On one of the days you’re both feeling bold, you’re practically glued to his side as he keeps an arm around your shoulder. Akito, Tsukasa, Mizuki, and An are all in the group as well while this is happening. And..
“So Rui, F/N, how long have you two been dating now?”
Mizuki’s question is what makes you both burst into red. Do you really look like you’re dating?
“Oh yeah, I’ve been wondering as well! You two just one day started holding hands and I kept forgetting to ask.”
Both you and Rui look at each other trying to think of what to say. Does this count as dating even if neither of you made it official?
“We’ve been together for a few weeks.” / “We aren’t dating.”
“…”
Did he really just say that? To everyone? You did not agree to this answer! Now what do you say? No matter what it’s going to make this a lot more awkward. You felt Rui staring at you as Akito cackled, getting the wrong idea that Rui just got rejected. Which of course, Rui knew this wasn’t true.
Rui swiftly leaned down to kiss you- right on the lips- which made everyone shocked, even Rui.
“Well it’s a mutual agreement now, yes? Akito, is it still laughing worthy?”
This feels so rushed I’m so srry but nywayssss… 22k crystals saved for Akito’s banner on Friday😮 skrunkly is getting dragged home by the bleached strand in his hair and I will spark him if I must

The Confession ~ Mark Lee
Tumblr media
Your eyes looked across in the direction where the ball that hit the top of your head came from, glaring at the boy who held his hands up innocently, rushing towards you straight away.
“I’m so sorry,” they told you, picking their ball back up that was just beside your feet. “I wasn’t looking where I was kicking, are you alright? Can I get you anything to take the pain away?”
Your head shook as you kept your hand pressed to the side of your head. “Maybe just be more careful next time,” you suggested back to him, feeling the sting of the ball in your cheek. “How do you not even know how to kick a ball in the right direction?”
“I blame the wind,” he joked, pointing up, although there was no breeze at all. “At least if I try and blame the wind it makes it look like I’m not just a rubbish footballer,” he laughed, somehow managing to bring a smile to your face too as he spoke.
Silence soon descended upon the two of you, with neither of you quite knowing what to say to bring the conversation to a close. You didn’t know where to go, and the guy didn’t want to just run off too, not after he was the one who had ended up hurting you.
“Why don’t you come and play with us?” He offered, pointing to a few of his friends who were just behind him. “If you want to laugh at my footballing skills, why don’t you come over and show us how it’s done? That’s unless you’re too scared to be beaten by me?”
A laugh came from you as Mark reminded you once again of your first meeting several years ago as you sat yourselves down not too far away from where the old football pitch used to be. Your story of first meeting always left you embarrassed, but not as humiliated as Mark was to have still managed to hit you in the side of your face.
“I’m pretty sure sometimes I can still feel the ball hitting the side of my face,” you laughed, nudging against Mark’s arm, “I don’t know what you were thinking back then, you’ve been rubbish at football no matter how many times the boys and I have shown you what to do.”
“It’s not my fault that you were just in the wrong place and the wrong time to get booted by me.”
Neither of you could still quite believe that the incident had led to the two of you becoming the closest of friends a few years later, often heading back down to the park to reminisce.
It was something that you never let drop either, every single time you approached the football pitch, you always liked to guilt Mark over what he had done to you.
“You know, I’m very glad that I got to kick you in the face for one reason on that day,” Mark suddenly told you, bringing your eyes across to stare at him in surprise.
His smile immediately grew at the look of slight offense that was on your face. Unlike Mark, you failed to see a pro of being smacked in the face by a football, especially when the one behind it ended up being your best friend too.
“If I hadn’t have kicked you, we would have never met,” Mark told you, “I’d be without my favourite person in the world if I hadn’t had miskicked the ball.”
“Favourite person in the world?” You asked him.
“Obviously,” he sniggered as if you shouldn’t even need to doubt the role that you had in Mark’s life. “I mean you’re the person that I rely on, you’re always the person that I turn to for anything because I can always rely on you.”
“Where’s this suddenly come from?” You asked Mark in confusion, “you’re never normally this nice to me, I think our first meeting proves that too.”
Mark’s head shook as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder, bringing you into his side. It wasn’t something that he found himself sharing with you too often, opening up to you usually left Mark feeling red faced, anxious always over how you would react to him.
“I’m just saying, you mean a lot to me,” Mark smiled, feeling your eyes stare across at him. “I really don’t think that I could be me without you, you do so much more for me than you ever realise that you do Y/N.”
“What’s going on with you?” You asked Mark, beginning to worry as to why he was being so nice to you. “Have you brought me here to tell me something? That you don’t want to be my friend?”
His head couldn’t shake any quicker in reply to you, “I’ve not come to tell you that I don’t want you to be my friend, in fact, I’ve brought you back here to where it all began for the complete opposite.”
“What’s the complete opposite?” You asked, full of intrigue as Mark looked away from you and let go of a deep breath to try and compose himself for a moment.
“The complete opposite is me bringing you here to tell you how much I like you Y/N,” Mark informed you, “how I want for the two of us to be more than just best friends.”
“W-what?” You stuttered, looking across at Mark in surprise as he shyly looked across at you. “Are you for real?” You added, staring at him in disbelief.
Mark’s head nodded in reply to your question, not quite knowing what to do. Your reaction was full of surprise, but as for how you felt for Mark, it didn’t tell him a thing, leaving him to fret that perhaps he had done the wrong thing.
“If you don’t like me, then that’s alright,” he assured you, “but I just wanted to tell you how I feel, because I’m really struggling to keep it bottled up from you these days.”
“I can’t believe you fancy the girl that you kicked in the face,” you teased, nudging Mark’s side. “I can’t believe that I fancy the guy that kicked me in the face too.”
“Wait, you like me too? You’re not just saying that, are you?”
Your head shook back across to Mark straight away, “as irritating of a best friend as you are, I also couldn’t imagine life without you.”
“Me too, you’re the one person that I always want around.”
The two of you relied on each other, much more than you wanted to admit that you did. Whilst you couldn’t smile as much without Mark, Mark knew that his career would never be as good as it was if it wasn’t for your support.
“Who would’ve thought all those years ago that this is how we’d end up?”
“I hated you that day,” you laughed, “I never thought in the end that I’d like you.”
Mark’s grip around you tightened as he pulled you closer into his side, pressing a kiss against the top of his head. Secretly, he knew as soon as he saw you on that day that you made his heart race, although the timing definitely wasn’t right at that moment to tell you that.
“This must be the stupidest story ever for how two people get together.”
“Why?” Mark chuckled back across to you, “doesn’t it feel like one of those cliché stories that you see in the movies? Guy messes up and ends up getting the girl.”
Your hand pushed against his frame once again, “how about guy wears girl down as his best friend before confessing?”
“I bet you were obsessed with me deep down from day one.”
“Keep on dreaming Lee, keep on dreaming.”

I’m honestly still embarrassed I believed what these people were saying for a moment, bc I swear they keep showing their transmisogynistic asses more and more as time goes on — it honestly reminds me of how my younger sister got suckered into alt-right and MRA rhetoric around ten years ago because youtube was pushing that stuff on her -greg
i really don’t want you or anyone else who used to believe in transandrophobia stuff to beat yourselves up about it— these guys have supporters and defenders for a reason, and the reason is that it appeals to your insecurities and validates certain kinds of fear and anger. that stuff can seem very appealing. and the transmisogyny is not always obvious! i know the terf comparisons get old but radfems draw people in by appealing to the justified fear and anger that women feel in society and talking vaguely about feminism. they will say many things you agree with, and once you’re around enough of those people, you won’t even notice how their ideology rubs off on you, and you’ll find yourself agreeing with things you don’t actually agree with. it just might be phrased in such a way that, for whatever reason, you feel compelled to agree with.
the difference between you and these other guys still fighting “against transandrophobia” is that you were capable of taking a step back and recognizing that it’s possible to be wrong or misinformed even when you have good intentions. these guys are not capable of that, either because they can’t get there yet or they refuse to even consider it.

Plethora's Pleasant-mas Advent Calendar: Day 18
Words: 735
Warnings: None
Sipping your drink to hide your fond smile as one of your favorite co-workers stumbled away from you and Steven to join the mass of bodies all tangled together on the dance floor. The fancy glimmering ballroom your work had rented out for the company holiday party was massive. In your mind it was a little bit overkill. Almost everyone was far too drunk to enjoy it properly, and would scarcely remember it. But it wasn’t your money.
You had loved the chance to dress up in a fancy dress for once. And it was even better to get to see Steven in a suit. He had chosen one that reminded him of his moon knight suit but was different enough to avoid dangerous comparisons. The cream color of the suit, suiting his skin. The tight fit showing off his well maintained body. Overall he looked better than you did! No matter how much he claimed otherwise. 
The two of you had mainly come for the excuse to dress up, and the free fancy food. Which due to the founder of your company being vegan had been mainly vegan. Basically the two of you had treated it like a fancy date night where you were going to run into a bunch of people you knew. 
While your coworkers got plastered, the two of you had savored the fancy cocktails and decadent desserts. Just enjoying each other’s company. Humoring the drunk conversations of your peers while the two of you talked- in the moments of time you got to yourselves- about the new project Steven had started at the university he had become a professor at this past year.
The music choice had gotten more and more subdued as time went on, the DJ trying to encourage people to leave to start moving to the pubs as time ran out on the venue. The last several songs being slow dances that people were growing tired of trying to grind to. 
Smiling at Steven you teased, “I think the DJ is trying to tell us to slow dance at least once tonight Steven.”
“I- ummm, don’t really know how to dance. Might be best not to, I know that all your fancy coworkers are plastered but I don’t wanna embarrass you...”
“You wouldn’t,” you assured him. “But it’s fine if you don’t want to.”
Steven’s face changed, brows furrowing and lips tightening.
“Oh, he wants to, he just isn’t going to take the initiative.”
Marc’s rough American accent had you relaxing. You had feared that his tightened expression had been due to Khonshu coming to put an end to your relaxing evening. Marc gave you a small smile as he brushed the curls Steven had carefully styled back. Pulling at the suit trying to get comfortable in it.
“It’s odd seeing you in Steven’s suit,” you admitted.
“Yeah, I’m just much more of a mummy suit guy, aren’t I,” Marc snarked back.
Grabbing your hand and pulling you towards the dance floor against what you assumed were mental protests from Steven. Marc smoothly guided you into a slow dancing position, fondly rolling his eyes at the music that started playing.
“What don’t want to dance with me in the moonlight Marc,” you teased as you both swayed.
“Nah, much rather dance in here, you’d freeze out there.”
Laughing at his comment as you laid your head against his shoulder and enjoyed the gentle sway. You had not expected to see Marc tonight, he had claimed that work parties were not his thing.
“Steven is actually a better dancer than me, he actually knows ballroom dance. Of course he’s never actually danced with a partner so he’s too nervous to show off,” Marc slowly explained his earlier fronting. “He’s backseat judging my dancing right now in fact.”
With a playful wink Marc silently told you that he was being bad on purpose, helping to encourage Steven to take control. He was getting you, your dance. A shutter went through the body before Steven took back control. Fixing both your postures subtly and starting to lead you into a simple waltz.
“Can’t let Marc keep almost stepping on your toes. LIke a bull in a china shop on purpose I swear!”
You laughter filled the air as Steven and you danced the rest of the night away together until the venue came to kick the rest of you out.

STEVEN GRANT SFW ALPHABET -- PT 3
Tumblr media
*hides behind steven* hEEeEeEeEEeeYYY hoWwWw are YOUU? im sorry ill leave my apology to the end but for now as my first part of the apology, i give you this. enjoy!
Melt – What do you do that absolutely makes them melt?
I mean, im literally the adorblest? So anything I do steven finds endearing. No im just kidding. I think the little quirks you might dislike about yourselves steven will most definitely find endearing, might I even add that he will quickly take a picture of you and save it (or make it his lock screen depending on how embarrassing it is…steven is a big tease my mind won’t be changed)
So like for example, your concentrated face? You might furrow your eyebrows, he might just come over and hold your face in his hand and straighten the crease between your eyebrows with his thumb if he thinks you’re gonna give yourself a headache…he might kiss it, depending on how sappy hes feeling…
If you pucker your lips while doing something (I envy you, god has favorites and its you) he WILL come and kiss you (threat)
Aaaaand if youre like me and stick out the tip of your tongue when youre deeply concentrated (its very embarrassing that’s why I don’t study with a group of people) he will sneakily take out his phone and take a picture…and set it as his wallpaper while dying of laughter
BONUS: “wha-? Steven why are you laughing at your phone?” “oh nothing dar- *steven catches a glimpse of his wallpaper* “HAHAAHAHA” “WHATS SO FUNNY SHOW ME- GASP HOW DARE YOU” and then its uncontrollable giggles again…traitorous steven
Nicknames – What do they call you, and what are their favorite things to be called?
My British boi, ‘love’ ‘darling’ ‘my love’ all the cliché british nicknames honestly. Maybe a flower if you remind him of one ‘sunflower’ ‘rose’…might I even add that these are the nicknames he calls you in the bedr- NOPE NOPE bad Layla this is SFW *sprays self with holy water using water gun*
Oh deary, I think he also loves to be called ‘love’ or ‘lovie’ (its my favorite) but also I read this in another one shot where jake calls steven ‘mr sunshine’ AND I THINK ITS PERFECT!! Just yea that mmm. MR SUNSHINE (go check it out its so fucking good and the author is very talented and just- sorry sorry heres the link
Obvious – How obvious do they make it that they like you?
Not as obvious as you might think, but yes obvious enough
Puppy dog eye FOR DAYYYYSSSSS
Secret admirer sort of person me thinks?
Like he would definitely “accidentally” overhear a conversation youre having with one of your friends about your favorite chocolate or flower or book that you cant find in any library…and you would mysteriously find them on your desk – THAT IS IF you are quite intimidating or might come off as unapproachable in public (same, I swear we do not bite…ish). That is until you form some sort of friendship and then hes just VERY obvious but – I was gonna say he wouldn’t make the first move but I remembered how steven kissed Layla in episode 4 (no not me Layla, unfortunately) and made the first move! So don’t worry about making the first move if youre too shy or scared, steven will help…and potentially fuck it up because of his nerves and he will need your help, please help the poor guy.
HOWEVER if youre a ball of sunshine in public (I envy you) then you could both be idiots in love but please take your obvious mutual puppy love eye out of my face, im trying to eat my salad here..
Pets – Do they have pets? Do they want them?
yES pets! Gus the second my baby. He takes such good care of his fishies, will occasionally give them food that theyre not supposed to eat (LIKE SPRINKLES STEVEN???) but that’s because he likes to share his food.
Im also in love with the HC that the moon system has a cat (thanks to my baby girl jake) and her name is luna (ha ha). Hes a bit wary of having a feline but that’s just due to his protectiveness over gus, but he will definitely warm up to luna after a while (jakes her favorite tho)
Quiet – How are the calm, quiet moments with them?
Dreamy sigh. The quiet moments are definitely the highlights of his and your day. Especially if you are also ND and youre just overstimulated or just, had a loud day? Is that even a thing? A day where it was just too much. Too much noise. Too much people. Too many people. Those days. So yes the calm moments are all you ever want sometimes.
Romance – How romantic are they? What are their go-to ways of being romantic?
Come on now, come on. Were talking about steven ‘I got chocolates and flowers to a date I don’t have recollection of planning’ grant. That steven. Of course, my boi is romantic
Also, steven reads a lot, his special interest might be ancient Egyptians, but at heart steven is one of us. He defo reads romance books, classic or modern. And the occasional erotica of course.
He just has a lot of things he wants to try and experiment with. Like ice skating as a date? (marc might need to intervene because marc is born on ice, just for the sake of the body not ending up black and blue) but besides marc potentially high jacking the date, youre all good.
Just little cutsy date ideas he read about. Hes also very creative with his date ideas, so most of you guys’ dates is very fun
GIFT GIVINGGGGGGGG
PHYSICSL TOUCCCCCCHHHH
Safe – What makes them feel safe and comfortable around you?
Hmmm. So it’s a pretty tricky thing with steven. I don’t think it would take much for steven to trust you? And with the wrong people this attribute can be totally misused and abused or taken for granted.
Hes been lately made aware of that (via jake) and he goes to be closed off for the days after receiving the news. Hes just walking down the street with his jacket held tightly around him and just nervously looking at everyone, thinking back to every time his kindness was taken for granted.
BUT THEN enter you! Youre so sweet and just accepting and just- hes rambling.
So he tells you about his tendency to overshare and trust easily, so, you smile softly at him and put a hand his hand and tell him “steven if im taking advantage of your kindness you wont know it!” IM KIDDDINGGGGG, but if you indeed say that to be a little shit (like moi) you tell him that youre joking and give him a hug and rub his back “ I would never take advantage of the thing that made me fall in love with you darling” and thats when he finally relaxes into your embrace.
HHHIYYAA im so sorry for this delay i had exams last week and was not the freest. so as my apology pt 3 and pt 4 are gonna be posted within hours of each other!!! woooOoOOoOoo and the crowd cheers!!!
also i listened to this playlist while writing, its not mk related or anything its just a good playlist?? im rambling im sorry.
as always REBLOGS AND LIKES HELP BOOST MY EGO
(if you want more of these for the rest of the boys just tell me!)

I don’t understand how you guys can be trying to start these wars with other Asians and then you call yourselves Asian you’re not Asians you guys are on the opposite side of Asian do you understand this
Some of us have fought a lot of crazier shit than that.
But we did buy that stuff that is true and we bought that stuff fairly you know there’s not a goddamn thing that people in China won’t give you if you ask for it
But they never ask these kinds of people they take and then all those people are like oh I wanna know what it’s like to be at a market place in another country Golly gee don’t we all
Yeah but that’s not Allie she’s a white woman from the United States of America and I can read her teeth pretty well and you know you guys you can’t read at all because you don’t understand
And besides which, you guys were the ally G’s.
And can I just remind middle-class America to please teach your children some cleanliness these daughters do not need to be thinking that this is hot or sexy it’s not when your brothers are like wanting you like that it reminds me of Brandy and Nick and I’m not gonna even look into that anymore gross
Yeah yeah I understand Brandy and Nick are poor people from poor families but it doesn’t change their gross behavior and it doesn’t matter
Whether they were poor or middle class trash is trash I think that the sisters and the brothers need to be equally held accountable when that applies to the situation in their case it definitely apply to the situation and Brandy Meador Houchens should be extremely embarrassed but she had to compete with somebody why not her brother’s girlfriend
You know why they thought I wanted to use him for money or something stupid like that? They couldn’t imagine that any pretty little girl would want to go out with their fat child on a date they didn’t see me as a pretty little girl they didn’t see me at all but later they did and later they will be blind

Keep away - Max Verstappen x Reader
Masterlist
Warnings: sexual references, alcohol, cursing
summary: Sneaking around with your brothers biggest rival probably was the worst idea you ever had, especially with everything that happened last year. So as this season started there' was only one question on your mind; could you keep away from one another?
Tumblr media
The silence in the room was incredibly uncomfortable. Heavy breathing being the only thing filling the awkwardness as you tucked the sheets over your naked body while the dutch guy above you dropped to the side. Untangling your body from his as he laid there staring at the ceiling, a thousand thoughts running through his mind which he would never be able to put in words. 
You could hear cars honking on the street in front of the five star hotel, where basically all the drivers where staying at. Even though it was still early in the morning, it was race day in Imola which meant that the city was in full swings all weekend. You stared at the curtains blowing in the wind in front of the big window that led to the balcony as Max cleared his throat next to you. Nervously you turned your head to look at the guy who had his face buried in  his hands as his messy hair ponited in every direction.
It was hard for you to look at Max in this state; post sleeping together. The sweat on his forehead and his puffy lips only reminded you of what you had done and brought back the guilt.
„We shouldn‘t have done this.“ you whispered, shaking your head as you remembered all the events leading up to this very moment. Max and you had promised yourselves last season was gonna be the end of it, the sneaking around and lies had to stop. 
But the dutch guy knew he couldn’t resist you, from the very first moment he saw you in the paddock at Bahrain. Memories flooding his brain uncontrollably; the sound of your laughter and how you‘d moan his name seemingly forever engraved in his mind. But then when he saw the  logo on the back of your jacket he also remembered exactly why this could never work. He also remembered just how badly you had broken his heart back in December. 
„Y/n wait!“ the dutch guy chased after you, his hair sticking to his forehead as he was covered in champagne. He reached out for your upper arm, making you stop in your tracks as you stood in the back of the empty Mercedes motors home. Max had just won the championship and was of course over the moon and you didn’t blame him. You really wanted to be happy for him, hell you maybe even were but you just couldn’t admit to it. Not when it meant betraying your brother in the most horrendous way. „You can’t do this to me!“
„What do you want me to do then Max?“ you chocked out turning around with crossed arms as you shook your head frustratedly. If only Max could have made this easier for you. Why couldn’t he just act like any guy would and not care. Why did he have to say it? 
„I want you to be with me!“ he exclaimed, clearly also frustrated on why you couldn’t see that he was offering you the world „It’s over Y/n! The championships over!“
He grabbed you by your shoulders trying to get you to look in his eyes but you just couldn’t. You knew if you looked at him, it would make it impossible for you to do what you had to. To put an end to this, finally. Sighing, you shut your eyes before shaking your head „Max…“
„No!“ Max disobeyed, his voice strained from all the cheering he had done. This was supposed to be the best day of his life but instead it seemingly was gonna be remembered as the worst one „I love you! Okay? I already told you that. I don’t care about the rivalry anymore.“
Again, those three silly words he had already said to you once that night. Just before the race as you had met him in the back, to wish him good luck. He said them, leaving you totally baffled and speechless which in return made Max super embarrassed as he stared at your blank impression. That’s how he had left for the race without you saying anything back to him. He knew you felt the same but there was just the one thing that stood between the two of you; it was Lewis.
„Max, my brother.“ you now looked at the dutch guy as you bit your lip, seeing the hurt look in his eyes as he finally understood you weren’t gonna say it back. You weren’t gonna be with him. Your loyalty to your family too strong „You said it yourself Max. The championships over, so are we.“
And that’s how you had left things with him. After literal months of sneaking around and pouring out your heart to one another you had decided it wasn’t worth risking your realitionship with your family. Although Lewis and you only shared your mother, the two of you were incredibly close. You were his baby sister and travelled everywhere with him, having trained to be his PR manager and making your living like that. He would have done anything to protect you and you knew if he knew about Max he wouldn’t ever forgive you. Maybe you should have listened to him when he told you guys would only break your hearts but then again; in this case it was you that broke Max`s.
But Max wasn’t all innocent all the time. There was this side to him, mostly the one your brother got to see and why he found a strong disliking for the dutch guy, he was cocky and arrogant from time to time. Although you knew that it came from him being extremely ambitious it did drive you mad, especially when he let if out on you.It was after the Silverstone incident, as the tension between Lewis and Max was rising that you first got to see and feel it.
Max angrily punched the wall making you flinch as you entered his hotel room, letting the door fall close behind you. You had been incredibly worried after seeing the horrendous crash, your heart stopped as it reminded you of the nasty side of the sport you loved so much. When he got out of the vehicle, clearly shaken, you realized just how much the dutch guy meant to you. 
„Max…“ you approached him from behind, gently touching his back as he had his head hanging low „I was terrified.“
„It’s so unfair!“ Max spat out turning around as he ran his fingers through his wet hair. You pressed your lips together, seeing just how angry he looked. Understandably so; the crash looked incredibly scary. You knew this was just his way to deal with the shock of it. „He’s such a sore loser. Honestly if anyone else did that! Just because of who he is, he gets allowed to do shit like that!“
For a second Max had forgotten who he was talking about. He was furious with Lewis, it had been absolutely irresponsible to do what he did. At least in his opinion.
„Does that really matter now?“ you now sighed, shaking your head as you tried to get him to see that he should just be thankful it wasn’t worse „We should be happy you’re not hurt…“
„Well I know what you’re thankful for.“ Max now chuckled, but in more of a spiteful way as he looked at the Mercedes logo on your chest. He crossed his arms as he looked at you coldly „Got P1, home win. What more do you want?“
You couldn’t believe the guy, looking at him through squinted eyes as you shook your head before hissing „Fuck you!“
Max couldn’t handle it any longer, the tension way too high. He roughly grabbed your waist, pressing you against the wall. With his face dangerously close to you he muttered under his breath „What did you just say love?“
„I said…“ your voice was shaky as you looked up at him with an evil smirk, knowing exactly what power you held over him „Fuck. You.“
He crashed his lips onto yours eagerly as his hands started roaming your body. Making you whimper at his teasing touches as you felt your knees weaken. The dutch guy only separated his lips from yours one last time as he hissed „Really shouldn’t talk to me like that love.“
Max and you weren't always like that, fighting and bickering just came with the rivalry. But there was a side to Max that not many got to see. He could be increidbly passionate, loving and vulnerable. And of course he was incredibly funny. He could make you laugh like no one else ever could. That was partly why you had fallen for him. He could just make light of any situation; no matter how serious.
It was at the Belgian grand-prix, during the three hour red flag due to the bad rain that you were senselessly wandering through the paddock. Incredibly bored, having already played rock paper scissors against Lando for almost half an hour until he backstabbed you and took a nap after which you had continued to quote „perfect your self defense techniques“ with Daniel, which consisted mostly of him choke-holding you. So after spending time at the Mclaren home you got a text from Max.
Max: Where are you? I’m bored.
You chuckled, imagining him sitting there like a little kid with to much energy as you held up your umbrella in between your arm and chest so you could type.
Believe me we all are.
Max: So what are you doing? Except thinking about me.
You rolled your eyes, he was so cocky sometimes. Well, two could play at this game.
Just was hanging with Lando and Dan. 
Max: Alright, so you can hang with those losers at Mclaren but not with me? 
A satisfied smirk was plastered on your lips as you were still stood at the exact same spot in front of the Mclaren home, ignoring the people that were passing you as they sent you amused looks. They knew you were someone who got along with almost everyone and mostly found it endearing when you paid them a visit. Wherever you were laughter and smiles followed, it was one of the first things Max had noticed about you when he first laid eyes on you. The way you lit up every room, beaming with joy.
„Oh, hello there backstabber.“ the familiar voice with the distinct accent appeared behind you as someone creeped their head over your shoulder, looking at your phone. You laughed as you turned around to see Max wearing a Red Bull rain jacket, dripping wet. He had to resist the burning urge to touch you, which was the hardest part about all of this. He wanted nothing more than to show Lando and Daniel that you were his and that they could forget it. Hell, he wanted every guy on planet earth to know that you were unavailable.
„I didn’t know super Max could get jealous.“ you giggled, provocatively pursing your lips as Max sent you an unamused face. He shrugged acting totally nonchalant as he had his hands buried in the pockets of his jeans „Jealous? Me? No way!“
His voice was almost always strained and it was endearing to you when he tried to act all tough. So you took a step closer to him, crossing your arms as you raised your eyebrows „Is that so?“
„I’m not called super Max for nothing.“ Max joked causing you to chuckle. You knew he actually hated whenever you called him that but you just couldn’t help it, the song was super catchy. Before you could say anything else though, you could see the smirk on Max's face suddenly turn into a frown as he looked at something behind you. You turned around to see your brother approach you with a critical look on his face.
„Don’t do anything stupid Max.“ you sighed, sending Max a warning look as he rolled his eyes. He hated the fact that Lewis was always stuck at your side, it made it hard for him to spend time with you.
„Y/n.“ Lewis caught up with you, holding his umbrella as he stared straight at his rival. You knew Lewis always tried to be nice but the dutch guy somehow had always rubbed him the wrong way even if it was just by existing „What’s going on? Is he bothering you?“
Lewis turned towards you, sounding genuinely worried as Max just chuckled, making you cringe. Lewis shook his head as he looked at the blonde guy, who had his arms crossed a he gave him a dirty look „What’s so funny about that Verstappen?“
„Lewis.“ you tried to stop them but Max's petty side had already taken the best of him as he snapped back at your brother.
„Yes, sure thing Hamilton. I love to go around the paddock bothering women.“ he spat out, obviously being ironic as he was pissed off at Lewis empty accusation. Especially when it came to you, he did not play around.
„What’s your fucking problem? You have some serious anger issues.“ Lewis squinted his eyes, confused how Max was so offended by his innocent questions. You wanted to peel your skin off as you clenched your jaw, not sure who was acting more childish. But before you could even react, Lewis already grabbed your shoulder pulling you away from the dutch guy „I don’t want you to talk to him again, alright? If he ever tries anything…“
„Lewis, he really didn’t bother me.“
„Just stay away from him. He means trouble.“
Trouble. That’s what you were in for. After the season ended and you ended things with Max, the two of you basically ghosted on another. But you would lie if you'd say you didn’t check on him from time to time. Seeing him on holiday, partying and celebrating the peak of his career while you were picking up the pieces for your brother.  But what hurt you most was seeing pictures of Max cozying up with some model in a club in Ibiza; seeing that he was moving on. 
„It’s not that hard Y/n!“ Lando rolled his eyes, his head resting against the headboard of his hotel-room bed as he scrolled through his phone while you senselessly swiped through your tinder.
„It is.“ you sighed, tossing your phone to the side as you buried your head in the pillows. You groaned, thinking about the horrible day you had. It was the first race weekend of the season. It was the first time you had seen him again and well let’s just say he didn’t even acknowledge you at all. All weekend Max had given you the cold shoulder and you couldn’t blame him. He probably hated you after what you did. With your voice muffled you whined against the pillow „I never get any matches.“
„What?“ Lando squealed, confused as he grabbed your phone with no hesitation „Well, you’re doing something wrong!“
He went to your profile, checking how you were presenting yourself and just as expected it was rather disappointing. It wasn't doing you justice as at all. He sighed shaking his head as he made a clacking sound with his tongue „Oh, Y/n!“
„That bad?“ you asked, looking up at him with a frown as you saw him nod. You buried your head in your hands as you fake sobbed, making Lando chuckle.
„Wait! Not all hope is lost.“ he nudged your shoulder, scrolling through your phone for what seemed like an eternity „I just have to get a better picture of…“
The expression on the brits face suddenly became blank as he stared at your phone. Your heart stopped at the mentioning of pictures, leading you to put two and two together. A gasp escaping from both of your lips at the same time as you quickly snatched your phone out of the young guys hand. His expression was basically frozen as you looked at the image on the phone.
„Why are you and Max in bed together?“ you cringed af the sight of you cuddled up against the dutch guys naked chest. One of the many pictures you two had taken whenever you‘d end up in eachothers arms. It seemed like Lando had scrolled up quite a bit in your gallery and you hadn’t yet got it over your heart to delete anything.
„I-I…“ you stuttered looking at the curly haired boy. Lando looked at you with raised eyebrows, trying to give you a chance to explain but he soon understood you wouldn’t get a word out and the sad expression on your face made him feel bad for you. Whatever had happened, it was clearly over as you were asking him for help to find a guy. It now also made sense to Lando why you had rejected all the single eligible guys he had introduced to you over the last week. The brit sighed, sending you an apologetic look „Y/n, I think we found the reason why it doesn’t work.“
You had told Lando everything. Every little detail and god, it felt good finally being able to open up to someone. To get the guilt you felt both towards your brother but also Max of your chest. Lando didn‘t judge you, although he didn’t agree with the way you had lied to your family, he saw that you clearly had feelings for Max. And in his mind he was sure; those feelings still where there.
Fast forwarding to the grand-prix in Jeddah, Max was finally able to score his first points while Mercedes was clearly going through a rough patch. It seemed like everyone except Ferrari was currently having starting problems. Lewis, who usually always stayed positive even started to doubt himself. But Lewis problem was different to Maxs. Max just couldn’t seem to concentrate with you being around.
In Australia he was barely able to handle it. At practice he watched as you talked to some of the Mclaren staff with Lando by your side. Your short floral dress leaving little to his imagination as you played with the ends of your hair. He had noticed you had gotten quite close to Lando but tried to shrug it off. It was none of his business anyways. He just felt like it was incredibly unfair that Lewis didn’t seem to mind you hanging out with any of the other guys but when it came to Max even looking at you, the seven time world-champion was right there.
„What are we looking at?“ Sergio asked his teammate as he handed him a water bottle. Max took it leaning against the wall of the Red Bull motor home as he adjusted his hat and shrugged „Nothing.“
Sergio raised his eyebrows clearly not buying Max's answer. He had now known the dutch guy for quite a while and it was very easy to figure out what was lingering on his mind.
„It’s little Hamilton right?“ Checo asked, making Max's stomach twist. He was afraid of what the older guy might think of he knew the truth, so he did what he did best; acting oblivious.
„What? No!“ the dutch guy squealed, his voice incredibly high which immediately gave him away. Well, that and the fact that he was as red as a tomato. Checo chuckled, crossing his arms as he pressed his lips together watcghng Max be a nervous mess. The younger guy scratched the back of his neck, clearing his throat „Besides she’s not even called Hamilton.“
„Well, you would know.“ Maxs teammate joked, looking over at you. He mustered you for a second, trying to make sense of how the dutch guy seemed to be so smitten by you and it did add up; you were incredibly beautiful and exactly Max's type plus the sound of your laughter could be heard through the whole paddock. Sergio sighed looking over at his teammate one last time, seeing him watch you with a that certain look on his face. That’s when Checo understood; Max was in love with you.
That’s how we take off on the weekend of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. You always loved being in italy, so the second you stepped on the paddock that weekend, your heart fluttered. There was just something about the atmosphere there that inspired you. On the day of qualifying's if was quite cloudy so you spent most of your day going through questions for an upcoming Interview Lewis had. Crossing out the ones you didn’t wanted to be asked, mostly noisy stuff about his dating life and family. But there was this one question that caught your attention. As you read it over and over again, thinking what Lewis would say.
„Although Max Verstappen was your biggest rival last season, are there any qualities he has that you find admirable?“
Admirable. You chuckled, shaking your head. It was ironic, you could think of a million reasons why you admired Max and you were sure your brother would have a hard time even naming one. Lost in your mind you started doodling on your paper. Not even realizing the words forming on your paper.
„His humor, his smile, his ambition, the way he loves. Really hard.“
After a long hard day you went out for dinner with Toto and his wife. Lewis had decided to just go straight to his hotelroom after the horrible day he had. So you tagged along with what seemed to be like your second family. George had also been invited, to the exclusive dinner at some extremely fancy restaurant. So you had dressed for the occasion, your shorts satin dress revealing our back as your loose curls fell onto your shoulders effortlessly. Topped of with your favorite jewelry and a red lipstick you called it a day.
You were kind of mad that Lewis had bailed on you last second but you also felt comfortable around Toto and Susie. George you were still getting to know but you knew he would soon be a close friend. 
„I‘m stuffed.“ George sighed, taking on last bite of the chocolate soufflé in front of him before putting his fork down. You chuckled, still devouring your dessert, sitting next to the guy who seemingly had the manners of a member of a royal family. The word distinguished truly perfectly fit him.
„Oh, come on George!“ Toto chuckled, sipping his wine as he stared at the young guy „Even Y/n‘s finishing it!“
„Hey!“ you exclaimed, slightly offended „Dont underestimate me Toto!“
Toto laughed as the waiter refilled his glass of wine and Susie massaged the back of his neck. The restaurant was completely full, a bunch of people having already walked up to your table asking for pictures. But you weren't the main attraction here just a couple of tables away from you Max was sat alongside Checo and his Red Bull team. You hadn’t even noticed the dutch guy but it was safe to say that he had noticed you as he sat there with crossed arms, pouting like a little child while he watched you sit next to George.
„So Y/n?“ Susie now spoke, smiling at you a little before getting serious „Is there any new guy in your life? It seemed like there was someone last season…“
You almost chocked on your food as you quickly gathered yourself with a blush on your face you stuttered „What makes you say that?“
Toto laughed, crossing his arms „Oh come on! It was obvious. The way you always snuck out to call someone and the smile on your face whenever you‘d get a notification on your phone!“
„Really?“ George asked, furrowing his eyebrows, he was suddenly very interested in the whole thing because let’s just say he had found something quite interesting today. When you had left the paddock, George innocently stumbled over the papers laying on your table. Not thinking anything of it he started reading through them until one very weird question caught his attention. Why would you write those things about Max? Out of all these people. Deciding to push his luck George just blurted out „So who is it?“
„What? He- He is no one.“ you stuttered, nervously fidgeting with your fingers. Your appetite having left your body, out of all people, there was only one who would probably flip out even worse than Lewis; that was Toto. 
But Toto didn’t even notice you were freaking out, he was too busy pointing his camera at George and you. Snapping pictures like a proud dad, while Susie cheered the two of you on. The next few things all happened so fast and the world seemingly went blurry for a second. George was still teasing you about the mystery man in your life as your table was catching the attention of some others, mostly because of Totos loud and obnoxious laugh at you, being as red as a tomato.
This also caused Maxs eyes to fall onto you once again. He furrowed his eyebrows seeing Russell whisper into your ear, little did he know what the Mercedes driver was truly saying.
„Is he blonde?“ George wiggled his eyebrows as you muttered a small „Stop.“ under your breath.
„Is he admirable?“ George now asked, your whole heart stopping for a second. He knew. And without George being able to say another word you yelled „George stop!“ before crashing your lips onto the side of his face so Toto could finally snap his stupid picture. There where a couple of Awes and gushes heard in the room. George was just startled, not having expected this at all. But when you pulled away, mouthing him a small „Sorry.“ he understood that this was truly serious. You didn't want anyone to find out.
Max felt like someone had ripped his heart out but that wasn’t really comparable to the anger he felt seeing you cosy up to stupid George Russell. The most stuck up and boring prick there was in his opinion but maybe that was just the jealousy talking. But Max couldn’t handle it any longer, he couldn’t handle everyone staring at you and George, thinking you were a couple. He couldn’t handle seeing your lipstick smeared across the brits face. And he couldn’t handle it not being him sitting right there next to you.
So the next thing he did might have seemed stupid any other day. But not today. Without another word he stood up from his table, heading straight towards you. Ignoring the calls from his friends behind him, his eyes glued on you. When your eyes fell on him, he could tell your soul left your body. You were surprised by the sight of him and even more terrified that it seemed like the angry looking dutch guy was approaching you with no hesitation.
„Y/n.“ all eyes fell on him, most of them super confused as you looked up at the guy in the white button up „We need to talk.“
That’s how you ended up pressed against his hotel-room door with him attacking your whole body with kisses. After stumbling out of the restaurant, leaving behind a super lost Toto and Susie. By now Toto had probably put two and two together. After watching you immediately obey the dutch guys wishes, grabbing his hand and following him out the restaurant, Toto knew; he had to talk to Lewis.
„Why did you do that?“ Max moaned against your neck, his fingers running up and down your bare back as your hands buried in his hair. Ever so slightly tugging at it as you wrapped your leg around his torso, grinding your hips into him. 
„What?“ you asked, innocently batting your eyelashes as Max groaned, slightly biting the skin on your chest. Inhaling the scent he had missed so much while he felt your hands travel down to his lower body. He took a sharp breath at the feeling of you ever so slightly touching him though the material of his jeans, remembering why he was so mad as he spoke through gritted teeth „Why did you cuddle up to Russell? Touching him, kissing him…“
You smirked, loving when he got like this. But right now you loved the fact that he was right there with you even more. All these months apart and all this time you spent missing him, it felt surreal to finally be able to touch him again. This was Max, he was real. This was your Max.
„He was teasing me.“ you told him, speaking the truth as you stared at Max's swollen lips. Wanting him to reconnect them with yours again you decided to give him what he wanted "He was teasing me about you. There's only you Max."
„We shouldn‘t have done this.“ you whispered, shaking your head as Max laid dead silent beside you. You thought about how you were gonna be able to get out of this again. After all things had gotten messy; Lando knew, George knew and Toto was sure as hell suspicious by your actions last night.
Max was frustrated, well not sexually at least. But emotionally, he was on edge. It took him so long to get over you breaking his heart in Abu Dhabi and he just promised himself he‘d never get himself into that situation again. But here he was next to a naked you after having sex multiple times, hearing you already regretted this.
„Yes you’re right.“ Max stated coldly, kind of offended by your statement basically saying he wasn’t worth it. But in a way Max didn’t even believe you, not after you had literally been moaning his name all night. But he was scared to say it, remembering the last time he opened up to you. You turned his back on him and god, he was afraid you might do it again.
You snuck out of Max's hotel-room that morning, you two leaving things as they were. Both knowing making a promise to stay away from each other rarely worked. Walking down the hallway still wearing last nights dress and Maxs button up hanging loosely over it, your shoes in your hand. Your phone had died and you were craving sleep like never before, knowing in a few hours you‘d have to get up again and pretend like nothing happened. What you didn’t know was that in just a few hours the pretending and lies would all stop, even if not on your own watch.
„Someone looks well rested.“ Lando joked as you stood outside the hotel waiting for your car to arrive, wearing your sunglasses and sipping on your coffee in order to wake you up.  You looked over at Lando, who had a sheepish grin on his face which caused you to send him a questioning look „What Norris?“
Lando laughed, shaking his head. He clearly had something lingering on his mind. As he had attended breakfast this morning, he had heard from Daniel, who had heard it from Charles, who had it from Carlos and god knew who Carlos had heard it from; that Max Verstappen had taken a certain drivers little sister back to his hotel-room last night. And with George confirming Lando, that you had actually been escorted by the dutch driver there was now no doubt on his mind that it was true.
„Max and you so did it last night!“
Lewis hadn’t shown up to pick you up like he always did on race day, the car ride giving you time to mentally prepare yourselves for the day. He had always appreciated you being there to listen to his doubts and fears but today was different. You walked past the fans patiently waiting in the rain, greeting some of them and taking photos before you made your way to the Mercedes home. But today you weren’t accompanied by your brother, who was usually always by your side.
As you strutted past the other motor homes, you couldn’t help but notice that there was quite the crowd in front of the Red Bulls home. Mechanics and staff member had seemingly accumulated to watch what was going on on the inside. It caught your attention but when you peaked over the audience, you soon turned speechless. As you saw none other then your own brother, grabbing Max by the collar of his shirt as the two of them yelled at each other. You turned pale but immediately knew what this was about, pushing your way through the people, some of the Mercedes staff sending you nasty looks.
Christian Horner was just sitting in the back, seemingly done with the bickering of the two guys as he buried his face in his hand. Checo standing there next to him, ready to go help Max if things turned violent. When Checo's eyes fell on you, he gave you an apologetic look.
"You're so never gonna touch her again Verstappen!" Lewis spat at the younger guy as Max scrunched up his face.
"Don't tell me what to do you fucking..."
„Max!“ you chocked out standing there with all eyes on you. Max who had just cursed at Lewis like a litte child one a school yard snapped his head towards you, immediately embarrassed by his behavior. He would never hurt Lewis on purpose but what was he supposed to do when the guy attacked him out of nowhere.
„Y/n…“ Max mumbled, Lewis grip on his collar immediately tightening at the mentioning of his sisters name. He was disgusted by the things he had hears from all corners this morning and when even Toto told him that Max had picked you up like a "hooker" in the restaurant last night, the guy flipped out.
„Lewis let him go.“ you took a step towards your brother, trying to avoid everyone hearing you. But Lewis looked at you with a hurt look on his face, he had just found out the worst thing possible and even if he didn’t now the full extend of it, it was enough to make him question his whole relationship with you.
„How long?“ Lewis muttered under his breath, slowly letting go of Max, who looked like he could finally breath again. When he saw the way you looked at his rival and then back at him, he knew the answer was bad. He hadn’t ever seen Max remorseful but right now the look on his face could only be described as that „How long have you been screwing him?“
„I-I-" you stuttered but didn’t get a word out, this told Lewis all he needed to know, as he bit his lip looking at the ground. He shook his head, he had to get away from here or he might actually hurt the dutch guy.
„Show‘s over!“ Lewis adressed the crowd, swirling his hands around before angrily pushing his way through people. An awkward silence filled the room as everyone watched your brother leave, leaving behind a baffled Max and you. Checo then continued to tell everyone to go back to work before leaving himself, shaking his head. The room soon emptied, everyone getting ready for the opening ceremony. Christian being the last to walk out, patted Max's shoulder „Good job buddy. Good job.“
Max sighed, knowing Christian was pissed off. This was exactly the sort of negative press he didn’t need. But when Max saw the look on your face, he forgot about all of that. Knowing how horrible you must feel, having just had you worst nightmare come true. This wasn't his plan when he did what he did last night. He never wanted to trap you, he just still loved you.
„I‘m sorry.“ Max whispered, running his finger through his blonde hair. You looked up at the blonde guy with teary eyes, shaking your head.
„No don’t be.“ you smiled weakly, pressing your lips together as you wiped your tears from the corner of your eyes. Max raised his eyebrows, sending you a questioning look. He didn’t understand this at all, weren’t you mad that Lewis found out?
„I realized last night, that even though you might not feel the same; I can’t live without you.“ you chocked out, the dutch guy listening to every word you saying „And I know you might not feel the same anymore but…“
„What?“ Max squealed, taking a step towards you before grabbing your face with his hands, getting you to look at him. „Y/n, I‘ve not stopped thinking about you ever since you left me in Abu Dhabi. I thought you didn’t want me anymore…“
„I want you silly. I always have.“ you chuckled, tears still rolling down your cheeks making Max giggle. The blonde guy slowly pressed his lips onto yours, giving you soft and passionate kiss. You relaxed into the familiar feeling, forgetting all about your worries for a moment
„I love you.“ you then mumbled against his lips and god it felt good for Max to finally hear you say those three little words back to him „And Lewis will come around eventually, we’ll just have to show him what we mean to each other and give him time.“
„We will make it work.“ Max nodded, caressing your cheek before smiling "And even if your stupid brother doesn't want it. I love you too."

chapter three
word count: 2.8k | navigation: previous / next / masterlist
a/n: i’m so sorry this update came literally so late — i recommend reading the older chapters if u don’t remember the story as this one may be a tad confusing ! masterlist
“why would i care? do whatever you want.”
.
.
.
“wait up!”
jongseong’s quick.
“hey!” you yell after him, shadowing his blistering steps by pushing your way through heeseung’s hefty front door. you’re chasing jongseong down the front steps, leaving behind the party while distant pop tunes linger in the air.
“dude, slow down!”
like this is a game of simon says, the annoying fucker speeds up.
you’re not the most athletic (actually, you’re not athletic at all) but you charge toward him. your sprint allows you to close just enough distance that you throw a hand on his shoulder and yank him backward.
you both halt now, finding yourselves just at the bottom of heeseung’s driveway.
“i said hold up!” you pant, hissing as you fold your body forward and try to catch your breath. you should feel embarrassed by how desperately you’re gasping for air, but it’s park jongseong — it’s quite literally unimaginable to feel self-conscious in front of a boy whose birth certificate is his parents’ biggest regret. better yet, could be used to wipe ass.
“my bad. i didn’t hear you.” jongseong says monotonously. you stare at him, baffled, albeit offended by his sudden attitude. sure, he always has an attitude with you, but this feels… different. you feel targeted. it doesn’t feel like he’s trying to annoy you — it feels like he’s annoyed by you.
“dude, what’s with you? are you mad at me or something?” you ask, frowning. honestly, you don’t really know why you care — you’d been having a great night at heeseung’s party before jongseong came in and spoiled the fun. if anything, he’s supposed to be the one apologising to you.
yet somehow, you feel like you’ve done something wrong.
“if you’re ever in doubt,” jongseong narrows his eyes, “just remember that i’m never not mad at you.”
you scoff. his response has instantly washed away any previous guilt you may have had. “why? because my existence is a constant reminder that you suck? that you suck so fucking bad?”
“say that to my academic portfolio.” he smirks, causing you to fume. “weren’t you the one that tanked the last math final?”
“i did not tank it!” you snap, grabbing his collar while you resist the urge to spit in his face. “you just got lucky, you gorilla ass little b—”
“teach!”
you freeze.
and then you snap your head over your shoulder.
it’s sunwoo.
at the sight of one of your students, you instantly release jongseong’s collar from your fist. it takes some effort not to complete your insult at jongseong (gorilla ass little buttfucker), though at least you step back and create space between you two. you slap on a smile and wave at the younger boy, who jogs down the front steps to approach you.
“riki’s vomiting!”
shit.
huffing, you quickly glare at jongseong before rushing over toward your student. “where is he?” you ask him, squeezing both his shoulders.
“u-uh…” sunwoo looks at jongseong once before returning your gaze. “in… in the bathroom upstairs.”
“did he drink?”
sunwoo shakes his head furiously. “of course not! i think he has food poisoning.”
thank god.
“okay.” you sigh with relief. “we’ll take him home.”
“we…?”
understanding sunwoo’s confusion, you point behind yourself. “this loser is driving us.”
“i have a name!”
“not one worth remembering!”
Tumblr media
“it’s a left turn.”
“no it’s not.”
“yes it is, i’m literally looking at google maps right now.”
“well look harder, ‘cause it’s definitely a right turn.”
“are you dumb?” you fume, shoving the phone toward his face. “it says turn left!”
jongseong slaps your hand away. you scoff with disbelief, while the vehicle begins to slow as he turns the wheel right. of course he’s not listening to you — he hasn’t been listening to you for the past half-hour. you’re both definitely lost, though it’s not your fault. it’s because the buttfucker refuses to abide your instructions and adamantly insists that he knows the roads better than your GPS app.
“you know what?” you throw your hands up with defeat. “i give up! you’re so fucking annoying, you know that? you’re just wasting petrol at this point, you pea-brained mouth breather!”
“pea-brained mouth breather?” jongseong barks out a dry laugh. “the 1900s called — they want their dumb, outdated insults back.”
your lips stretch into a satanic smile. “trust me, if you weren’t driving right now, i’d do a hell of a lot more than insult you.” it’s the truth. you’d absolutely be kicking his ass — if he weren’t in control of your life right now, you’d transform into dwayne the rock johnson and absolutely body slam his ass into the concrete.
jongseong manages to spare a glance at you before peeling his eyes back onto the road. “oh, yeah? what? you going to hit me with those tiny baby fists of yours?”
breathe in, breathe out.
you need to calm down before you do something irrational — the only reason you haven’t jumped out of the vehicle yet is because your two students are sitting in the back.
breathe in, breathe out.
“somebody needs to revoke your licence.”
“somebody needs to revoke your existence.”
Tumblr media
“help me!” you screech, struggling as riki’s weight on your back almost makes you trip over your own feet. why the fuck are you the one piggy backing him? the useless, unhelpful, waste of air jongseong merely stands beside you, leisurely fiddling with the house keys in his hands.
oh fuck. oh fuck. oh fuck.
riki’s going to slide off your back!
quick! you grunt, jumping to adjust riki’s body further up your back. thankfully, you’re able to slide him closer so that his arms dangle over your shoulders.
oh god, he’s heavy.
you bend your knees, though your joints feel like they’re seconds from swelling and bursting. in fact, you wouldn’t be too surprised if the cartilage affixing your muscles together might all snap at once.
“hm… which key did he say it was?” jongseong mumbles, taking his sweet, sweet time as he slowly slides through riki’s keys one by one like you aren’t about to get flattened and smushed to your death.
is he trying to get you killed?
“hurry up, you fucking dumbass!” you grit your teeth, feeling your knees wobble.
you’re positive that the vertebrae of your spine are all going to simultaneously crack and cave.
he needs to hurry up.
he needs to hurry up.
he needs to hurry up.
“slow and steady wins the race.” jongseong has the audacity to say, so you lean over toward him and bite his forearm as hard as you can.
“argh! what the fuck?” jongseong cries. “did you just bite like some sort of rabid animal—”
“i said hurry the fuck up!” you scream at him.
Tumblr media
oh.
dear.
lord.
fucking finally.
by the time riki has been safely tucked into bed, you’re angry beyond belief, your back hurts, and thankfully, sunwoo has been dropped home — giving you free rein to scream at jongseong for as long and as loud as you wish.
however, though you wish to obliterate jongseong with every insult under the sun, you’re frankly too exhausted to. all your energy had been exerted into safely delivering both boys home.
there’s nothing left you care to say.
jongseong appears to have accepted this as well, because the car ride back is peacefully quiet. it’s calm, serene, gentle. you say nothing, head resting against the window of the passenger seat while he drives.
for once, there is silence between you and jongseong.
such a silence is certainly a rarity, so you yield yourself and admire all its small sparks of beauty — you listen to the soft blowing of the car’s air conditioner; to the sound of the car blinker; to the gentle rnb sounds of music playing; and even to the tender baritone of jongseong’s voice when he hums along.
crazily enough, he’s playing all your favourite songs.
you allow yourself to slip further and further into a deep, profound slumber, enclosed by nothing but the familiar warmth of your most adored tunes… only to realise that he must be playing one of your playlists right now.
aided by such things, you drift off into a sleep in which you recall every other type of silence you’ve shared with jongseong.
.
.
.
in your first memory — your first type of silence with jongseong — you’re eight.
you had just met him a week ago when your parents had introduced you to their friend’s son, yet here you were — in your bedroom, lying on the floor, housed by a tent you had both assembled with blankets and chairs. you’re both alone in stillness and darkness, accompanied by nothing but a stack of books and a single lamp that sits in the corner of the homemade tent. its soft, warm glow illuminates just enough that you can both see the words on the pages of the books you’re sharing.
you and jongseong loved to read.
but better, you loved to read together.
neither of you had friends that liked books as much as you both did, so you would both explore your favourite tales together. with each other, you explored the artistry of the written word and the various worlds they painted — falling in love with words and fictional characters, traversing different universes, perusing the most intimate nooks and crannies of your imaginations.
you’d lie on your bellies, so close that your elbows touched and your breaths could be felt. you loved to read in complete and still silence — though it was the small glances and soft smiles you both exchanged that spoke far more conversation than words could communicate. you’d softly giggle at humorous lines of the same book; he’d quietly shake his head when the character you both hated would do something ridiculous; and you’d both smile at each other when you knew the story was reaching a turning point.
in this memory, you are only eight, but you’re old enough to know that the silence here is a language — an intimate one.
perhaps something only you and jongseong were fluent in.
.
.
.
in your second memory — your second type of silence with jongseong — you are eleven.
you’re sitting in the library, alone, your notebook laid out in front of you as you study the english words you’d learned in class. it’s late in the afternoon, and while your school day should have ended a while ago, you await your workaholic parents to fetch you. you’re exhausted and too young to be studying instead of enjoying your youth, however there’s nothing else your parents want more but for you to have your nose stuck in books.
there’s silence, and you hate it.
you want to be going to the movies. to the park. to the arcade. to anywhere but a library, because truthfully, you only like books when they’re tales.
it’s suffocating sitting here, though just before it becomes completely unbearable, you hear someone drag open the seat beside you.
you look up, and it’s jongseong.
he smiles at you and waves, slipping into the seat beside you. you’re too stunned to speak, but he plants an earbud into your ear, and suddenly there’s no silence anymore. you hear nothing but the tune of soft electric guitar, melded into rnb melodies.
you’re eleven, and too young to be studying, but old enough to know that jongseong is here to kill time with you because he knows you hate the silence of waiting for your parents. he fills your seconds, minutes, and hours with music. he blocks out all the silence and replaces it with something lovely to the ears.
and here, you’d sit beside each other, crafting playlists together and swapping song recommendations, speaking another language that you and jongseong are also fluent in — music and song lyrics.
again, there’s still no need for words when you’re speaking all kinds of different languages with jongseong — you share smiles, and little glances, and head bops, and write your favourite lyrics on your books.
.
.
.
and in your third memory — your final type of silence with jongseong — you are fourteen.
you are many years into your friendship with jongseong, and though for a while this was as much of a blessing as you’d always thought it was — this is the age you realise it had been a curse. because here you both sit, on the swings of the local playground near your house. at this late hour, it’s deserted — there is nobody else in sight; just you and the dearest friend you have.
your parents and his parents had fought for the umpteenth time.
you and jongseong had fled the house together, hoping to escape from the unbearable words your parents had exchanged with one another. you’d both found solace in a local playground, and again, there is silence.
you and jongseong say nothing.
you merely propel your body into the air with the swing, feeling cool air rustle through your hair.
however, it’s at this age that you realise that this type of silence is different.
it’s nothing like your first two types.
you aren’t reading and exchanging words through glances, nor are you listening to music and exchanging conversation through song.
there are no unspoken words between you two.
it’s in this memory that you realise that the “silence” here is not a noun, but a verb. the silence here is not a metaphor for non-verbal conversation. you sit in silence because you have to. you silence each other. you desperately don’t speak the words you know will spill out the moment either of you utter a single word.
because truthfully, both of you know that the dreaded conversation is dangling in front of you — your parents are drifting apart. there are fissures and cavities in the bond that initially bound you two together. and soon, you know your parents’ relationship will affect the amount of time your parents will allow you to continue being friends.
and this is the final type of silence because within a year, you and jongseong are no longer friends.
you were best friends, turned close friends, turned friends, turned acquaintances, and eventually — toxified by the feud between your parents — turned enemies.

this is the first time in a while you’ve thought of silence with jongseong.
and at the final memory, your eyes flutter open.
truthfully, your mind feels dull. you’re confused as you slowly regain consciousness of where you are and what date it is, though you eventually orientate yourself.
you’re still in his car.
except this time, it’s not moving. it’s parked along the side of the road; one that is familiar because it’s the one your house is populated along.
you turn your head over toward the driver’s seat, and there he is — jongseong. you freeze when you realise that he’s already staring at you, and silence fills all the space between you both. you thought there were only three types of silences with jongseong, but here you are — creating a new one. the type of silence that expanses the enclosed space between you two and makes you feel as though you can physically touch it.
“hey.” he says.
you blink slowly.
“hey.” you answer, shaking your head to rid yourself of memories you didn’t realise your heart kept so close to your soul. “s-sorry, i fell asleep—”
“it’s fine,” he replies, softly shaking his head. “we got here a while ago. i just figured you’d want to keep sleeping.”
if only he knew what you dreamt of.
mortified by your inner thoughts, you gulp. you attempt to sit up, though that’s when you become conscious of a weight draped over your body.
jongseong’s jacket.
why is this—
his eyes appear to trail your gaze, which is when he guesses the questions running through your mind.
he quickly reaches over and rips it off your body, seemingly embarrassed by your realisation. thick, awkward, painful silence engulfs the two of you as he tosses the jacket to the back of the car.
“now that you’re awake, hurry up and get out.” jongseong scoffs, reaching over toward your seat. startled by his action, you squeeze your spine back into your seat while he opens the door on your side.
you’re close.
his face is not far from yours. and when he looks up, the both of you appear to mutually arrive at the destination of this realisation.
there is silence, and not much space, and your mind has been plagued with memories of your old friendship with jongseong.
“are you leaving or what?” he asks you, slicing through your thoughts so harshly that you shut your eyes in order to regain composure.
after a few seconds pass, you finally open your eyes again.
what do you say?
do you tell him that he’s always been your dearest friend?
that you’re disheartened your friendship ended as quickly and harshly as it had?
what do you say?
“stop leaning in so close, your breath fucking stinks.”
silence is not something that exists between you and jongseong anymore.
all that exists is noise, noise, noise.
to be continued.
