But sometimes, the best isn’t what our heart wants; the perfect isn’t what our heart seeks.
Tumblr media
“Did you find it?” Before Satoru could even answer, you came jogging in. Your gaze shifted between him and Toji, curious as you noticed the awkward silence that took over when you approached. Or…has it been there before you came? “What is it?” You asked, puzzled. Walking inside, your eyes met Satoru’s. He shook his head, giving a small smile before answering.
“Nothing. Toji was just saying that we should check Yui’s things to make sure we didn’t forget anything else.” You could see his Adam's apple bob up and down, eyes half blinking. “Well yeah, I did. Her extra shirt was still on the hanger. I ironed it earlier.” You walked past him, smiling at Toji before you jogged upstairs, making the two men relax.
“Y-yeah, of course. I could free my schedule, just tell me the details.” Satoru’s voice was much lower; quieter when he was sure that you were out of earshot. Toji nodded, blinking as he took a deep breath. “I’m glad you didn’t tell her.” Satoru doesn’t know why he hid it from you, but he felt like it would only worry you. 
But could he really not tell you about it? He doesn’t want to lie to you.
“You know, it could only worry her; she probably doesn’t even trust us in the same room together.” He added as if sensing Satoru’s doubts. He’s got a point, but still, Satoru wants your relationship to be transparent. Yes, he still hasn’t told you about what happened with Naomi and his mother but that’s a different case.
“Just send me when and where.” Satoru took a deep breath, pulling out a calling card before quickly handing it to Toji as he kept an eye on the hallway to make sure you didn’t see any of it. “Though, she probably won’t be happy about not being informed of this-” Footsteps can be heard as you appear with the clothing item in your hand.
“Why didn’t you go to Yui? Let’s go.” You gave Toji a quick kiss and goodbye before walking out the door, looking back at him just to make sure that he was already after you. And he is, but not without glancing at Toji who only nodded at him. “I was waiting for you, I could see the car from there.” He explained, opening the car door for you.
“Yaaaay Mama! Dada!” The little girl put her hands up, opening and closing her chubby fingers, “Nummy!” She squealed louder as Satoru wiggled the pacifier in his hands, legs kicking as she desperately tried to grab it. “What’s my name?” He tried to keep the object away from her.
“Toru! Dada Toru!” She pushed on her chair, trying to move closer to her dad. Satoru laughed, letting her take the pacifier in her small hands. “Here’s your Nummy.” He cooed before putting on his seatbelt, ready to drive. You looked at him through the rearview mirror, meeting his gaze for a split second before you looked away.
“What is it?” He asked you, raising his brows as he drove. You shook your head, “Nothing, I was just…I was wondering if you and Toji get along well now.” You didn’t really want to ask this to Toji because he still gets grumpy at the mere mention of Satoru’s name in your conversations, which can’t be helped since they’re almost always about Yui.
“I think…” He let out a small laugh at the end of his short answer.  For a second, he thought about telling you of his conversation with Toji but— ‘It could only worry her.’ His words reverberated in his head, making him bite his lip, waiting for your reaction. “Okay. It’ll get better, I guess.” You let out a large breath, lightly slapping your thighs with your hands.
“I’ll… I’m really trying to be less annoying to him. I know that it’s uncomfortable for the both of you.” He was trying to find the right words to assure you. He doesn’t want you to think that he’s threatening your new relationship. Your new happiness.
“And that he probably doesn’t even want you around me even for a minute and that’s why I was saying that we should lessen—” You turned to look at him, making him pause as he quickly glanced at you. He was worried that he may have said something wrong or hurtful to you. That’s the last thing he wants.
“Satoru.” You licked your lips, feeling bad that he was probably feeling the same way you did when he was still with Naomi. Probably much worse because he’s also regretting so many things at the same time. “We don’t have to do that. We do it for Yui, I could talk about it with Toji. I will.” You start to look back on how your ‘talks’ with him went.
But if it’s for Yui, you’re determined to make him understand and make all of this work.
“We can’t give Yui the family she deserves.” The words tasted bitter on your tongue as you leaned your elbow on the car window, massaging your temple. “But I don’t want her to feel that.” Thinking about the time scares you; how fast it goes, how quickly it changes. You fear that you’ll wake up one day and you won’t have answers to her questions.
“Hey…” You felt a hand on yours, noticing the car stop. You turned your head at Satoru, only noticing how blurry your vision has gotten. “You’re already doing so many things for her. She won’t feel that. That’s why I’m still here. You don’t have to shoulder this alone even if we’re not with each other.”
In Satoru’s head, he doesn’t like that you’re not with each other. But if that’s what heals you from everything he’s put you through, then so be it. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be there for you; only heaven knows how much he wants to give you everything if only you allow it. 
But he’s not that lucky anymore.
It took you a minute to snatch your hand away, probably just needing the warmth that it provided you in that vulnerable time, but you still did. “Sorry,” He murmured as you turned away, wiping under your eyes quickly. “Did you have breakfast? I’ll get us something.” He cleared his throat, thinking about how Toji probably cooked breakfast for you.
“I’ll just have coffee–“ You sat up straight, getting cut off by your baby as she struggled to get out of her seat. “Mama! Ma!” She whined, kicking her feet as she reached up to you and pointing outside. “Do you want something, Miss?” Turning her attention to Satoru. “She wants to go inside.” You spoke, removing your seatbelt.
“Alright, come on.” You stepped out of the car to get her, letting Satoru take her small bag. She squealed at the drawing of the cartoon on the wall, making you kiss her cheek. “That’s why she wanted to go inside.” Satoru laughed, letting you walk in first. Greeted by the employee as you scanned their menu, your daughter started pointing.
“Such a cute baby,” An old woman beside you said, “Looks very much like the Dad.” She laughed, making Satoru pat the little girl’s head, proud. “Thank you, Ma’am. She’s a mini of him.” You joked, allowing the old lady to play with your child as you conversed with the employee.
For some reason, the interaction made you feel warm. It’s been a while since you felt like this when going out with them. You used to avoid these situations with him due to how things were, but lately, your guard’s been down around him. Maybe it’s because you can see with your own eyes how much he changed. 
If only he was like this before, would things have been better?
“How old is she?” The old woman’s voice sounded far, drowned by your thoughts. “She’s 2, ma’am.” You could feel Satoru’s hand on your shoulder, snapping you out of your trance. Your eyes met his, overflowing with concern as he tried to keep a conversation with the woman until she left.
“You ok?” He spoke, adjusting Yui on the baby seat. “You zoned out earlier.” He made sure to pull the chair for you before going to his. Shaking your head, you gave a small smile, “It’s nothing, just trying to recall if I packed everything she needs.” It wasn’t convincing, but Satoru felt like he’d be meddling too much if he asked further.
Maybe he really should not add up to the things you’re worrying about.
———————————————————
“What is it about?” Satoru’s fingers tapped on his jeans, nervous as to what his baby mama's boyfriend was about to ask him. He was worried that it’d have something to do with the time he spent around you. Satoru isn’t sure if it’s possible to reduce that since you have a daughter.
“You know, to be honest, I just want to know how you see things.” Toji started, putting down his mug. “I know what happened between you and Y/N before I came along but I want to know what you were planning to do if I didn’t appear.” Satoru was confused as to why he was asking all of it but his brain started to think back to it, nonetheless.
At that time, he was thinking about marrying Naomi. He saw it as an assurance that he was doing so much better; convinced that she was truly the one for him. Spending a year with her, he was sure that she was the better person for him. What with his daughter calling her mom, he thought that maybe it could put an end to most of his problems with you.
Recalling all of this just made him realize how much worse things could’ve been.
Seeing the pain in your eyes the moment those hurtful words came out of his mouth set all of these plans on fire. You looked shattered; like the tiniest glimmer of hope in your eyes died along with your aching heart, hearing that the man you love regrets everything he had with you. 
It almost felt like stepping so abruptly on the brakes that he hit his head from the impact. When you crumbled in front of him that day, you were bare to Satoru. All the feelings, all the pain that you held in your heart were presented before him.
Satoru remembered thinking about why you were like that with him, why you acted indifferent. 'She has always loved me this much. She was just hurt.' And it broke him too. A couple of days after that, he tried. He tried to tell himself that it was just the emotions, that it was just the guilt eating him up and that’s why he couldn’t see anything but you. 
But he caught himself thinking about how he’d like to put you back together again piece by piece if he was given a chance.
He didn’t think too much of it; just a poor interpretation of his feelings towards your pain. He thought about his loving girlfriend, he reminded himself that there was someone who willingly put up with him when he was a mess. That’s how it always went. That’s how he pushed the thoughts of you away. With her, her words, her touch, her body.
But it’s never enough when he thinks about how you probably cry yourself to sleep at night, thinking about why you weren’t enough to get the same treatment that he was giving her. That’s when his plans started to falter; like a building threatening to crumble, dust began to shower down on them.
The day he went to your house, he found himself fixing his collar, and his hair, thinking about the words to say to you. And if you’re not there, he thought of ways to get to you. But there Toji stood. With a smug look on his face and marks all over his neck that scream “I just fucked the girl you dreamt about last night.” 
That day he wanted to ask him directly what the fuck he think he’s doing, but that wouldn’t seem right, knowing that Satoru’s nothing but a baby daddy to you. That day was a deja vu. All the events that happened between the two of you are being shown to him, and it seems like he’s feeling the pain threefold.
After that, Satoru tried. He tried to tell himself that he just got upset because of how disrespectful Toji was acting. He just couldn’t stand that he acted as if he owned everything in that place, even flexing the hickeys you gave him the other night.
He thought that was the worst he could see that day but for some reason, seeing you in that shirt with marks on your collarbones triggered something in him. A question he didn’t see coming popped up in his brain and along with it was the guilt that he felt for his girlfriend: 
Am I too late?
The next thing he knew he was getting up and getting ready for when you pick Yui up from his place. He caught himself pulling at his clothes and pushing his hair back as he waited for you to open your door; like a teenage boy waiting for his crush. He denied himself that he wanted to look good; to look better for you.
Until it all sank in; until he couldn’t handle it any longer. Each time he sees you with Toji, doing things that you should be doing with him, he gets pushed a bit more. He was already getting pulled back towards you again even before he came along but now that he’s beside you, it felt like Satoru’s spiraling back to you at the speed of light.
Then, that night happened. When all the bands that he used to stop himself snapped.
“I would appreciate it if we could be honest with each other. This could greatly affect the decisions I’m about to make.” Toji’s serious voice interrupted Satoru’s memories. He blinked, clearing his vision of him. He stared at the cup with a grim expression, which made Satoru realize the weight of the conversation.
This is not just a conversation, Satoru thought, licking his lips before speaking again.
“I’d…Back then, I was denying what I wanted. I…I was trying to get her back. Not just to make up for all that I said and done.” He rubbed his palms on his pants, seeing Toji lean back on his office chair. “I had a girlfriend, then. Naomi. I didn’t really want to admit to myself that my heart wants to get back with Y/N when I’m with someone so good to me.” He shook his head.
Satoru’s disappointment and anger about what happened between him and Naomi felt like a ton on his chest. She was a good woman to him and it’s true, but thinking about how everything aged; he can’t even bear the thought of her and his memories with her. It’s just sad that it had to end that way.
He can’t help but to blame himself for the actions that she took. He could’ve written a better ending for them.
Satoru heard Toji sigh as he straightened his legs under his table, crossing his arms as he nodded for Satoru to continue. “Then, you appeared. And I don’t know. I don’t even know how it happened but everything that I was feeling about her was rushing into me faster than it used to and maybe…” Satoru panted, shrugging as he gestured with his hands.
He couldn’t believe that he was really talking about this to his baby momma's boyfriend. “It just got me desperate. I told myself I was too slow and I lost my chance and I really did but…” He looked at Toji, wanting to convey his sincerity. “I just want her to be happy. I feel like all I did was ruin things for her. I don’t want to ruin what she has with you.”
It was a tough thing to say for Satoru. The words felt like shards of glass in his heart. It’s not what he wants but if it’s what he must do then he’ll do it. Toji’s silence got him wondering if he was pissed or relieved that Satoru was aware that he was not getting you back as long as he was there. But in Toji’s mind, that’s not the case.
“So you’re saying that you wanted to get her back even before she got with me?” He blinked slowly, trying to comprehend Satoru’s words. “I thought you only started to want her back because you don’t want to see her with someone else.” He didn’t bother filtering the words. He can’t think of a better way to put this.
“It’s always her. Even if I end up with someone else, I need her to know that I had always wanted it to be her.” 
Toji didn’t think that Satoru would be this transparent to him about his feelings towards you. There was an eerie look in his eyes as he stared at the open window, a defeated look plastered on his face. 
“If I didn’t enter the story, would you still be doing all of this for her now?” Satoru’s eyes were back at him, nodding as he sat straight. “Yes. It would probably take longer than it did but I’m sure that I was bound to fall back into her at some point.” Toji’s brows furrowed, trying to think of what the situation would be like if it were like that.
“Weren’t you planning to marry Naomi?” Satoru chuckled bitterly, considering it another poor and rash decision that he made. “I was. Before I fought with Y/N.” Before he found that small light of hope in your eyes. Before he realized that not all of it was lost.
Toji laughed, rubbing his face with his palm as everything that had been going on sank in. He’s talking with his girlfriend’s ex. And he’s telling him all of this. Like it’s the most natural thing to do. He sighed, swallowing as he bit his lip, feeling himself getting agitated by the second. 
“I know I said I’d appreciate honesty, but I didn’t think you’d actually say all that to my face.” He chuckled bitterly, recalling every sentiment he just said about you. “I’m her boyfriend. Her new man.” His chest heaved, blinking to allow himself to calm down. He’s the one who asked for this to happen, so why’s he the one getting pissed now?
“What do you want me to say?” Satoru’s voice was calm, looking away from Toji’s piercing glare. “You should’ve just told me to fuck off and stay away, though the latter one’s not possible because Y/N and I have a child.” Satoru sat up straight, as if getting ready to be kicked out. Toji’s jaw tightened visibly at the words.
Not because they’re insulting but because they’re right.
That’s what he wanted to do. He thought that if he couldn’t get you away from Satoru then maybe Satoru could just stay away from you. But obviously, it isn’t just some responsibility for him. Satoru isn’t the type of guy to just send money for his child. He’s not the type of guy to be just happy that his child knows he exists somewhere.
He wants to be present; to be there for Yui and watch her grow. He wants to be with her but of course, your circumstances wouldn’t allow that. Maybe this isn’t as easy as Toji thought it’d be and that’s what makes him mad. 
“Toji, I know we’re not on the best of terms with each other, but what are you trying to get with this?” Toji didn’t like how he asked it. It made him sound like a villain and that’s the last thing he wants. 
Is he getting so desperate that he allows himself to seem like one? “I agreed to this without knowing what you’re planning to do, I’m just here to be honest to you. Really.” Satoru wanted to ease the tension between the two of them for your sake. 
He knows that you’re still very uncomfortable with the two of them being around each other and that you’re also thinking about how to make it better. He thought that this “conversation” would help.
“Do you really love her? Or did you just learn to love her for your child?” Toji gave his all to sound composed, scratching the edges of his thumb with his index finger. “I don’t remember telling myself that I have to love her. I just know that I love her.” Toji could hear his teeth grind against one another; his frustration starting to surface.
“Look, if you want to hear from me that I am not trying to take Y/N away from you then, I’ll just say that.” Toji remained silent, forgetting what this meeting is supposed to be and how it’s supposed to go. He’s bothered by this ever since he fought with you, but he cannot let that cloud his mind of what he would deem to be right. 
And obviously, that’s not what’s happening right now.
“But you can’t tell me not to love her when even I myself can’t control that.” You weren’t lying when you said that this man changed a lot. It felt like this is the most mature Toji’s ever heard him talk.
 “To feel that is one thing but to act upon it is another and I don’t plan on doing that.” Satoru wondered if you’ve been arguing about this with him, probably why he’s like this. He remembered your problem with him constantly mentioning his wife in whatever you do but after that, you never really told him anything about it anymore.
He didn’t try to pry even when it felt like your mind was always somewhere else because he didn't want to seem like he’s taking advantage of the situation.
“Well, it’s good that I don’t have to remind you.” Toji murmured, tilting his head as he furrowed his brows. Looking away, he pulled at his collar with his finger. The man in front of him looks nothing like a threat. Yet, he can’t find it in him to let it go.
Probably because deep down, he knows that this is not a one sided problem.
“I won’t ask you to stay away from Yui. I’m a father too. I just needed to hear this all from you, Satoru.” He opened a drawer, taking out a packet of cigarettes before putting one between his lips. The fire from the lighter lit up a portion of his face, inhaling only to let out smoke from one side of his mouth. “Why?” Satoru asked, leaning back.
“I don’t know. So, I could do better I guess?” Toji chuckled, making the other man’s brow bump with each other; not with anger but with an irritating confusion.Just as he was about to ask, Toji answered his question. “We didn’t fight. There’s just nothing left to do about it. Guess we gotta put extra effort.” 
With that he stood up, signaling that he’s already over this conversation. And Satoru sat there, still in the dark with his intention. Does he have some kind of mic here that recorded what he just said? Satoru doesn’t care. 
What he said was the truth, and it would be too funny to suspect Toji of some kind of evil plan when he’s literally the one who got heated up.
“I hope to work with you better, Satoru. After all, we love the same woman.” With that, he walked to the door to leave but not before Satoru could say a word. “Just take care of her for me. I’m sure she wants it from you.” It came out softer than he intended to. He looked down at his hands as they played with one another; defeated.
He didn’t hear a sigh from Toji. The sound of the door closing was the only signal that he already left. Clicking his tongue, Satoru stood up before running his fingers through his hair. He wonders if it’d be right to ask you about your situation with Toji. He wonders if you also want him to adjust. 
He wonders if he’s just a nuisance in your life right now. Like how he made you feel before. 
————————————————
“She should start when she’s like four. Or five.” Toji put Yui’s bag down on the couch as they ran around him. The kids were still not tired enough to calm down after a whole day of swimming. Their cheeks are all red from the sun and you mentally noted to put aloe gel on her face before bed.
“Megumi will start next year?” You asked him, hearing a hum as his gaze followed the two kids who ran to your daughter’s room. “‘Gumi we’ll be going in a few, don’t fall asleep!” Toji called to the little boy who only stared at him from a distance before turning away. You felt a pair of hands pull you as Toji sat you on his lap.
“Did you have your own fun too?” He teased, squeezing your thigh as he kissed your cheek. Your mind went back to the other day. It has been a while since the two of you did it due to busy schedules. You admit that you felt like you and Toji are still being extra careful with a few topics but this past few days was a breather. 
“Mhm, definitely did.” You whispered to his lips, feeling his teeth bite your bottom one as he kissed you. You don’t know when it started but things started to feel a bit different between you and Toji and you don’t know if it’s because he’s starting to drop his worries for you and Satoru or if it’s because he’s just tired of thinking about it.
You were gonna talk to him regarding that but this weekend kind of assured you that it’s all going fine. As for you, you’re trying your best to adjust. You told yourself a thousand times that you had to think about Toji too and not just yourself but for some reason, you still find yourself questioning how you should do some things. 
That’s not a good sign but you thought that maybe you could just take one step at a time. Toji’s making adjustments for you and you can’t just let him do all that work. The only thing you’re fearing is if it’s gonna burn out the two of you sooner or later.
It’s not that your relationship with him is not sturdy, but it’s still young. There are still so many things that the two of you might go through. You’re afraid that all of these are just taking a toll on both of you and one blow from a different direction might just take you down immediately if it ever lands.
Toji stayed for about half an hour before calling Megumi who definitely fell asleep on Yui’s bed. Meanwhile, your little girl was sitting beside her big bear, whining about the burns on her face, begging you to call her Dada. 
“We’ll just put medicine on it, okay?” She stomped her little legs, pulling at your shirt to pick her up. “It’s because you won’t let me put sunscreen on your face properly earlier.” You clicked your tongue, letting her sob on your shoulder. “Dada…” She wiggled in your arms, a small hand holding her cheek.
“Just give Satoru a call. Or get him to come over. She probably misses him.” Toji picked his son up. The latter option shocked you a bit because you didn’t expect him to actually suggest the man he’s so uncomfortable with to come over and be around you. Even if it’s not for you, you still didn’t see it coming out of his mouth, especially after all the fights you had.
“They’ll meet in a day, anyway so it’s—” You started but he cut you off by talking to Yui. “Dada will come over, it’s okay. Stop crying.” The toddler’s cries softened to sniffles as she looked up at him. His hand patted her head, before turning to you to give you a kiss on the forehead. “She needs him right now. You know how kids are.” 
The gesture made you feel a bit sad. You’re aware that this is not about the two of you but still, you know how he is when it comes to Satoru being with you. “You shouldn’t hold back if that’s what Yui needs.” You shouldn’t hold back if that’s what you need. He wanted to tell you that as well.
He remembered asking you casually about how you were with Satoru. Of course, you found it weird and got worried. You kept saying things to comfort him to which he quickly reassured you that it wasn’t like that. 
“Of course, I did.” You told him, swirling the liquid inside the sippy cup. You wouldn’t look up at him the whole time. You placed it beside the other cup before moving to sit beside him. “We had a rough time, but it wasn’t always like that.” There was a hint of nostalgia in your voice; a mix of melancholia and fondness for the lost time.
“Why did it become like that?” He leaned on his elbow, fixing the ornaments in front of him. “Because of the rush, I guess. Bad timing.” You shrugged, drumming your fingers on the marble counter. “We just became parents. We didn’t have time to become lovers.” You chuckled half-heartedly.
“But I know I did.” So, Satoru wasn’t lying when he said you were in love. “Have you ever wondered if… if it’s just because of the responsibility that you share?” He prodded further, feeling like he was having the watered-down version of the conversation that he had with Satoru. Something he apologized to him for 2 weeks later.
“Probably at first. All of it is just for Yui. But at some point, I just found myself looking forward to days with him.” You sighed, staring blankly as you probably tried to recall more memories. You quickly looked at Toji, realizing the words that came out of your mouth. It’s not supposed to be like that. You’re not supposed to speak like that.
“Did you ever—” He began but you’re quick to cut him off, getting more and more worried about his behavior. You’ve been having open talks with each other, deciding that it might help with the crack in your relationship with him but this still makes you feel anxious. Because what if you hurt him again? What if something you say makes it worse?
“Are you alright? You keep asking unusual things.” You jokingly put your hand on his forehead, making him grab your wrist as he pulled you to him. “Hey, I was just curious. I want to do better.” He kissed the back of your neck. It’s true that he wants to do better for you. Hell, he wants to be the best for you.
But sometimes, the best isn’t what our heart wants; the perfect isn’t what our heart seeks.
“Alright, I’ll try to contact him. I doubt he’d be here, though. It’s a work day, I don’t really want to bother him.” You squeezed his hand reassuringly before walking with him to the door. Megumi’s small arms were wrapped around his neck as he bid you goodbye for the day. 
You wanted to ask him if it’s really okay with him but you reminded yourself that if it’s for Yui, it doesn’t matter if it’s not okay with anyone. “Text me when you get home.” You told him after he put Megumi in his seat. “Yeah, love you.” He kissed your lips once more before getting in his car and driving away.
You watched his car disappear, rubbing your baby’s back as she started to whine again. “Alright, we’ll call him.” You walked back inside, spotting your phone on the coffee table. You kissed Yui’s cheek as you dialed Satoru’s number. It rang twice before you heard his voice from the other line.
“Hey, everything okay?” You ignored the way your heart swelled at how alert he was to your calls. You figured that he’s probably working, "Dada!" Yui called to him, kicking her little feet and making you grab them. You put the phone on speaker "What's wrong, love?" Satoru's voice was full of worry because of how his daughter cried.
"She got sunburnt. She was swimming with Megumi earlier and now it's starting to sting." You pushed her hair back as she tried to take the phone from you. "Are you busy? She keeps asking for you. I didn't want to bother you but—" Without letting you finish your sentence, you could hear the chair scrape the floor. "Don't think like that. I'm never too busy for Yui." 
"Would it be… Is it ok if I come over? I'll get ointment on the way." You could already hear the car keys and you pictured him walking out of his door and to his car. "Yeah, it's fine. Toji actually suggested that because Yui won't stop crying. Thank you." A small silence can be heard from the other end.
"I'll be there in a few, text me if you need anything else." After that, he lets you hang up the phone, waiting patiently for you say something. "Dada will be there. Stop crying now, you weren't crying earlier." You checked her face, feeling bad that she has to pay for having fun. But you think the blush that it left on her cheeks are cute.
After a little while, a knock on the door pulled you away from your phone. Even though, you already know that it's Satoru, you still peeped through the hole just to make sure. The night his mom stormed in your house and threatened fo take your child away was still vivid. You don't want Yui to see something like that again. 
"Da!" She immediately cried when she saw him, reaching for her father to take her. "Hey, why? Where's your ouchie?" You saw a couple of bags in his hand as he took the crying child. "I brought you guys something, I thought you might not have had your dinner yet." He sounded shy, taking the smallest bag.
“Oh, thank you. You should eat with us, sorry for calling so abruptly. She’s being fussy.” You smiled at him, not missing the fond sigh that escaped his lips. “It’s nothing, it’s a win-win situation.” He jokes, tickling the little girl’s belly which caused her to erupt into laughter. 
“Let’s put this cream on your face so it doesn’t hurt, alright?” You watched the two of them sit on your couch and all of a sudden, it became the highlight of your day. How he removed his shoes when she asked him to lay down, how he listens to her almost incomprehensible rants, how he gently applied the ointment on her cheeks, producing the most beautiful giggles.
It almost felt like a normal family, resting after a long day of staying out. With her favorite show playing, you watched her look up at her father just to make sure he’s watching the same thing. And he’d go and nod, talking to her like it’s the most serious thing in the world.
“You should eat with us.” You found yourself saying as you wiped your hand. You reminded yourself to text your boyfriend as you turned away, feeling wrong for how you feel but how can you not feel that way when the scene you used to dream of just came alive in front of you? 
Maybe you’re just tired. Maybe you just wanted the comfort of your bed. Maybe you just want to not think about it, maybe it’s better to ignore these feelings because there are other things you should be feeling right now. Like wanting to see Toji and be with him. You shook your head, setting up Yui’s table. 
And there he comes, with your daughter in his arms, wearing one of the house slippers you left under the couch. “Can I borrow these?” He chuckled and you could feel the stretch on your cheeks from how small they look on him and suddenly, it’s just the three of you again. Eating under the warm kitchen light, talking about your daughter.
Like how you always wanted it to be.
——————————————————
“Just take care of her for me. I’m sure she wants it from you.”
Toji pursed his lips as Satoru's words reverberated in his head. He knows nothing, he thought, glancing at you from the mirror. You were busy checking Yui's bag, completely unaware of the thoughts of the man in front of you. Toji has been selfish before. But his head was clear enough to finally judge things with deep consideration to the external factors.
Any man or woman wants nothing but to work things out for their family. But sometimes it just gets too much for them. But for some, they just need time. And he doesn't know how to feel when he thinks about how you and Satoru probably just needed time to fix yourselves as individuals for the relationship to work.
Even though Megumi already understands that his mom will never be home. There are still instances where he would ask Toji about her and by that, he could tell that his son's wishing for her. Whenever you'd do something for him, he would say "Like mom?" and he don't want you to know that not even the smile on your face could ease the searing ache in his chest.
“What do you think about getting back together with Satoru?” The question already escaped his lips before he could even think. Your eyes snapped at Toji, looking at him like he just said the most obnoxious thing. You walked to him, stopping his hands to do his tie yourself. 
“Why are you suddenly asking about that now?” You counted back to the first time he was talking about you and Satoru.“Nothing. I mean, he mentioned that his mother’s never around him anymore. Isn’t she like the bane of your relationship with Satoru?” He peered down at you, curious as to how you’d react.
Toji didn’t mean to ask it so abruptly, but he knows that he has to talk about it sooner or later. He knows that the both of you are trying and your relationship shouldn’t be this hard if only adjusting comes so naturally. 
He knows that you put in a lot of effort just so he wouldn’t feel insecure and overthink. He also knows that sometimes it just shows, you’re probably just denying that to yourself. He’s also too aware of how the both of you would tread carefully around the topic of his wife. 
“I don’t want you to feel like you can’t miss her or talk about the things she does.” You told him that once but still, Toji can’t help but feel bad when those days come and he knows that he’s not giving his full attention and mind to you.
“I’m literally in a relationship with you, stop asking if I—” You tried to chuckled it off, brushing the palm of your hands on his chest to straighten the fabric but Toji caught them. “What if this isn’t working?” He sighed, squeezing your hand as if it will lessen the weight of his words.
You don’t know if you’re hurt that he probably wants to end it or if you’re hurt that there’s a hint of truth behind his words. “What are you saying?” As if suddenly coming back down to reality, Toji shook his head and pulled you close. “I think I woke up too early, come here. Sorry about that.”  He kissed your forehead but that didn’t take away your worried face.
“Toji you can’t just say that and expect me not to overthink.” You don’t know if you’ve prepared yourself enough for this possibility. It would hurt you if you’ll lose such a good man in your life. “I’m…I don’t know if I still feel comfortable, or if I’m just getting used to it Y/N. I know you try, you do it so well, baby but,” He took a deep breath, pausing.
“I don’t think I can continue like this. I don’t think we should continue like this.”

one last time ft. vinsmoke sanji!
a/n: continuation of my time travel series as asked by anon!! sanji, lost you when you were both 27. now, three years later, aged 30, the cook travels back in time and sees you again. *cue angst* not proofread, im so sorry for mistakes!
warnings: none!! just my crappy attempts of writing angst tbh
Tumblr media
"it makes no sense" nami mumbled, peering down intensely at the old cook as if examining her personal lab rat. the alleged thirty year old had materialized in the main room of the going merry through thin air; and nami had almost knocked him out with her staff.
"nami-swan let me-" the man tried to speak but the red-head cut him off, "you ate a devil fruit and you traveled back in time?"
"you're so gorgeous even when you boss me around-""
"sanji." nami cocked an eyebrow.
sanji sighed lightly, trying to reason, "well, i mean i actually ate like just half a bite of it. i don't think this time travel thing is permanent. i'll be out of your gorgeous hair in just a minute"
"no, you being here isn't the issue." nami corrected herself, "i think im just surprised is all. the idea that there exists something like this is just-"
but someone barged into the room before she could finish.
"what the fuck?" the swordsman looked at sanji, taken aback by the sudden blondie appearance, "he looks awfully like the shit-cook."
"it's nice to see you too, moss-head"
"ah-" nami groaned at the swordsman appearance, "well, i guess i'll explain to everybody. out on deck, both of you"
"why are you so tall?" zoro gave the older cook a nasty look.
"zoro, out."
"why is he so tall-"
。・::・゚★,。・::・゚☆
"so..." the younger, blonde man asked, "you're me but 30?"
the older man shrugged, "yes, pretty much."
"i cannot believe you committed to the bangs look for over a decade, sanji" you giggled, looking from the older version to the younger one.
"if you like it, then i can keep it for the rest of eternity, my love."
you laughed again, sending the cook an amused look, "sure, i like it."
while the younger cook was swooned at your words, sending you a love-struck gaze. the older was busy contemplating whether he wanted to hug you so hard till his ribs broke down and he disintegrated within you, or if he should keep his distance, saving himself all that hurt.
your hair was choppier and the strands moved gently in the wind, the tresses cashmere kisses against your sun-kissed skin. all the signs of aging were absent from your skin, all those signs of you and him together were gone, just like that. as if you and he hadn't existed at all.
there was no scar on your lips from the time you fell down in the dark while sleepy, no cuts on your arms and legs from battles long gone. every evidence of the life you and sanji had built together was gone, leaving a twenty-three year old you behind.
well, technically that life was yet to come. it would take you and his younger version another five months, 23 days and 6 hours till you both got together. atleast, if his calculations were correct.
it would take you another 9 years, 2 months and 4 days to leave him. he knew those calculations by heart.
and so, sanji held back the urge to ask you if you liked two sugars in your coffee right now too? and did you light up when the moon was out in all it's glory? did your favourite constellation stay the same as years passed you by? did you look the same when you kissed him awake? did-
instead, he said nothing and stared at you, transfixed.
when ussop shook the older cook awake, the blonde man gave the younger crew members a pained smile. and when luffy jumped up and down, asking whether the cook still cooked, sanji found himself laughing and offering to make a meal.
atleast, this way, he could resign himself to an old kitchen, boundless memories and endless suffering, away from your ghastly presence.
the door stood ajar and you slipped inside just as silently like you always did when you wanted to surprise him in the kitchen. he looked up from the chopping board, well-versed with every one of your silent exchanges.
"want some help?" you offered, walking over leisurely and standing opposite to the man on the kitchen island.
the man looked down, focusing on not cutting his fingers up, "uh- no, thanks."
"damn, did you change?"
"hm?"
"where's the added "my love", "mon cheri" or "darling" at the end?" you cocked up an eyebrow, giving him a confused look, "don't tell me you lost those with time, that'll be a real shame."
sanji looked up, dumbstruck at you.
ofcourse he didn't. how could he? how could he when you were all that and more to him. under breathy whispers, loud declarations of love and silent hums in the dark of the night, you were every stringed syllable in every language to him.
he must have been silent for too long cause you shook your palm in front of him, paranoia sewn into your skin, "i mean it's okay if you lost it. like, it's not that big of a deal-"
and sanji laughed.
"excuse me? it's not nice to laugh at a lady."
"you looked so adorable like that." he looked down at the chopped vegetables, hands skillfully adding the veggies to the heated pan. then he looked up through his eyebrows, skillfully avoiding your gaze fully, "you're quite cute, love."
"uh-" your ears went red and you looked away, "thanks? y-you too."
"how have you been, yn?" he looked back at the food, his voice was tender. every hitch of the breath was audible against the backdrop of distant laughs from the crew.
"oh?" you replied shocked. then you smiled, "good. i'm good."
"good?" he repeated, ever so slowly as if turning the word on the tip of his tongue to remember the way you said it.
"yeah, i've been good, sanji."
"i'm glad." he pursed his lips, turning his back to you under the lie of fetching bowls from the cabinet.
"what are you cooking?" you asked, leaning over and peering at the vessel on the stove.
even without turning, he said, "you'd lose balance, careful now."
you marveled at the simmering dish, looking at his back and smiling real big, "you're cooking hand-pulled noodles with broth?! i think its my new favourite dish! i tasted it like a few days ago and i've been dying to eat it againn"
sanji smiled, still turned away from you, "is that so?"
as much as sanji prided himself at his ability to identify you from lightyears apart, at his ability to hear you in the noisiest room, he must have not been paying attention.
because you had sneaked up behind him and pressed yourself against his back, giving him a hug. you smiled gummy against his back muscles, "thankyou! thankyou! thankyouuu!!"
sanji froze under your casual touch. after a second, mindlessly, he lay his bigger hands on top of yours, relishing in the way you felt under him. he closed his eyes, trying to etch the moment in his memories. then he smiled again, promising against the thin air, "i will make you this as many times as you ask me."
"really?" you beamed again, letting go and standing beside him, "promise me?"
"i promise you." he gave you curt nod, melting under every one of your happy dance moves.
"now i would bother you for the rest of our lives." you stuck out your tongue at the blonde man.
"i would rather not be bothered by anyone but you, my love."
"aww-"
"hey geezer." the younger cook stood at the door, eyeing the negligible distance between you and the older man, "get away from yn-chan, you fucking pervert."
"rich coming from you, mr. nosebleed" the older man gave the younger a dirty look.
"HEY THATS NOT MY FAULT"
"SAAAANJI" luffy whined from outside, "ARE YOU DONEEE? WE'RE STARVINGGGG-"
vinsmoke sanji, aged thirty, yelled back "YEAH LEARN TO WAIT SOME MORE."
"YOU'RE SO MEAN SANJI! I MEAN- OLDER SANJI? I MEAN SANJI??- alee? I MEAN THE COOK OF MY SHIP?? NO, THE COOK OF MY FUTURE SHIP-"
"JUST SHUT UP LUFFY." the two blondes yelled in unison and you laughed one last time, lighting up the kitchen on fire.
oh wait, no. that is just the smoke due to the burning veggies in the pan.
well, fuck.
atleast you were laughing. and sanji would have killed entire nations to see that sight again, so, what were a few vegetables for the sacrifice?

part I | part II | part III | part IV
Helion x reader, rhysand x sister!reader
Warnings: fluff, making out, honeymoon bliss, suggestive
Summary: In which you and Helion are happy.
a/n most definitely another filler chapter but the one with drama will be out tmrrw and my schools starting in like four days so the drafts will come out slower
Tumblr media
Helion was the best mate anyone could ever ask for. He could cook, he understood my emotions, gave me space, could give amazing cuddles and kisses, he was great in bed but most of all he cared.
In a sense no one had ever done before. When I wanted him home, he was home. When I visited him during a meeting he made me sit in his lap and glared at anyone who decided to mention it.
We had been mated for at least 6 months by now. And it was absolute bliss. Every single day he would wake me up with his head between my legs, every single night he would worship me like a queen. His kisses made my knees weak and my head dizzy.
Sighing at the thought of him kissing me, I continue trying my best at a dish that Rhysand used to cook for me as a child.
Just as I’m about ditch the recipe and head to his office, a strong pair of arms wrap around me.
Melting into his touch, I lean back. He kisses my neck and bites at my soft spot making me moan softly.
“Hey baby,” turning around my hands run through his beautiful hair. His lips find mine almost instantly. My back presses against the counter and I arch into his touch. Pulling him closer my fingers stray to the hem of his shirt.
“As much as I would love to continue this, I have to tell you something,” he pulls away. My kind is still reeling from his intense kisses. Nodding, I ask him to keep going.
“The Night Court wants to negotiate some stuff with us,” he told me.
Raising an eyebrow I beckon him to continue. “I want you to come with me, your first appearance outside of Day Court as High Lady, and I know what you’re going to say, that you’re not ready or you’re not sure, but I know that you’re ready, I also know how much you miss your brother and your nephew,”
He was right, I mean when was Helion ever wrong?
“I suppose Nyx should meet his uncle,” I sigh dramatically.
“Can you help me make this dish, Rhysand used to make it for me,” I ask him.
“Rhysand can cook?” he gapes at me in shock. “You can cook too sweetheart,” I lay a soft kiss on his adam’s apple and start gathering the ingredients.
“I know what you’re trying to make, you relax I’ll make it for you,” Helion says pressing kisses against my shoulder.
He’s elbow deep in flour, looking like an absolute vision. His golden eyes glint in the sun, his tan skin more prominent as the sun started setting.
We had decided to get this house because of its position and how the sun was almost always reflecting some room.
In the mornings it was our bedroom, during the day it was the seating area outside and during the evening it always seeped into the kitchen.
Not that I was complaining, it made the Day High Lord in front of me look softer and almost vulnerable.
“You’re staring, my love” Helion chuckles, his voice oozing smugness. “Is it so wrong for a female to enjoy the view her mate is providing?” I question, teasing.
“No I suppose not, you know I have to put this in the oven for awhile and we have some spare time,” he cheekily suggests.
“What shall we do?” I say feigning innocence. He circles around to the side of the counter where I’m sitting and gently holds my chin, “You’re so innocent right now but wait until I have you begging and writhing underneath me,”
I gulp, his words go straight to my core.
“What are you waiting for then?”
a/n AZRIEL U WISH THIS WAS U anyway don’t think they have ovens in acotar and i js watched the pjo finale and the way luke said annabeth broke me but like my husband looked rlly fine.

☕️beside you: niki
a you complete me series: two / seven
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: niki x afab!reader
word count: 1.5k
Tumblr media
synopsis: luckily niki’s birthday fell on a saturday and with the help of the pack you made his birthday morning special
genre: established relationship, vampire!niki, vampire!reader
warnings: mentions of blood, cutie pie birthday boy niki ♡
p1: vampires bleeding mlist
☾ sunghoon(1) | niki(2) | heeseung(3) | jungwon(4) | jake(5) | jay(6) | sunoo(7) ☽
Tumblr media
You spent weeks trying to make Niki’s birthday perfect. 
You bothered the boys nonstop about perfect gifts or things to do for him and with him. 
The boys gave you plenty of ideas, and they were so perfect. 
Until the day before his birthday, a snowstorm pulled in. 
You blamed Sunghoon, for being the ice vampire prince that he was. Mr. Penguin in his past life as his mate calls him. 
The school was even canceled Friday morning. Which obviously Niki and you were happy about. 
But then all your plans went out the window. 
“Jay! I don’t know what to do!” you whispered into the phone, peeking around the living room making sure Niki’s eyes and ears were still glued to the video game on the television, “Everything closed down.” 
Jay sighed on the other end of the phone, “What does Heeseung say?” 
You shrugged your shoulders as if Jay could see it, “What even would Heeseung be able to do?” 
“You both live with him,” Jay scoffed, “Did you even think to see what Heeseung could help plan?” 
You rolled your eyes, “Heeseung has been at the hospital all day, and __ is stuck at the hospital with him because of the storm.” 
Even with Jay’s silence, you could hear his annoyance through the phone. 
“I could bake him a cake?” Jay finally said, “I can bake it now and sneak it over there tonight.”
Your eyes brightened, “Please! Jay, thank you so much!” 
“Yeah yeah,” he groaned, you could hear his face dropping into his hands, “I’ll call Heeseung and let him know too.” 
You thanked him again and ended the call. 
Out of the side of his eye, Niki saw you walking back into the living room. 
He smiled wide, pushing the right side of his headset off his ear, leaning into the corner of the couch, and patting the space between his legs. 
You sat between his legs, leaning your back against his chest. Niki rested his hands on your lap, fingers button smashing on the controller. 
“Where did you run off to?” Niki asked, resting his head against yours. 
“Missed me that much already?” you teased him. 
Niki chuckled, “I always miss you when you aren’t beside me.” 
“I just went to call Heeseung,” you lied, “I wanted to make sure they were okay at the hospital due to this storm.” 
Niki shrugged, not having any thoughts or worries, “Hyung and __ are vampires, a little snow won’t hurt.” 
You shrugged. 
“I bet Sunghoon Hyung is having the time of his life.” 
You agreed, “Want to watch a movie?” 
Not even ten minutes into the movie Niki was slumped on the couch and passed out. Which was what you were hoping for. 
You kept checking outside, moving the blinds every few minutes to see when Jay would appear with the cake. 
Almost fifteen minutes passed before Jay walked up the steps of the apartment complex and to your door. 
You quietly opened it, placing your finger to your lips, “He’s asleep on the couch,” 
Jay nodded, carefully slipping in with Heeseung and __ following behind him. 
“Jeez, that snow is terrible,” Heeseung whispered, sliding his coat off his body and onto the coat rack. 
“Welcome home my king and queen,” you teased them, earning glares from not just Heeseung and his mate, but also from Jay. 
“I said you don’t have to call us that,” Heeseung sighed, sitting down at the kitchen table, “We aren’t even fully oathed.” 
Jay placed Niki’s cake in the fridge, pointing at it and then at Niki, basically saying to not let him get into the fridge. 
Jay also sat at the table, wrapping his arms together, “Maybe you should go take the oath,” he said looking between the king and queen, “Now that you have a mate.” 
Heeseung shrugged, “I’ll think about it,” he looked over at the sleeping Niki, “What’s the plan for tomorrow?”
You snuck out of your room, the smell of coffee filling the apartment. 
You tipped toe to Niki’s room, carefully opening the door, and seeing him still asleep. After closing the door gently, you carefully walked into the kitchen. 
Heeseung was brewing the coffee while __ was setting up the table. 
“We can take the cake out in a few minutes,” she said, “Once Heeseung finishes the coffee we will pull the cake out.” 
You nodded, grabbing four blood bags from the fridge and setting them down on the table, “He might wake up soon, so we have to hurry.” 
She finished putting the plates, utensils, and napkins on the table beside everyone’s blood bags. Heeseung placed the cake in the middle, placing the candles on the top. 
“I think it’s time to wake him up ourselves,” Heeseung whispered, “If he already woke up he isn’t going to come out since it’s Saturday.” 
You nodded, “Light the candles then, I’ll go get him.” 
You carefully opened his door, Niki was still very much asleep. 
You slowly walked to his bed, sitting down on the edge, “Wake up, cutie pie.” you softly spoke, tapping your mate's shoulder. 
Niki’s eyes fluttered open, a small smile forming on his face, “Good morning,” 
“Good morning, sweetheart.”
Niki sat up in bed, stretching his arms out before pulling you close to him, “Let’s go back to sleep.” 
“Oh no no no,” you place your hands on his shoulders, pushing yourself back, “It’s time to get up.” 
Niki narrowed his eyes at you, he knew you were up to something, “What are you planning?” 
You bat your eyes at him, “Me? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 
You could tell by the look in his eyes that he didn’t believe you. 
Niki wasn’t stupid. It’s his birthday today, there’s no way you didn’t have anything planned for him. 
But he knew if he didn’t get up now, his hyung would be marching in here himself. 
“Okay,” he said, cupping your face with his hands, “You’re up to something, Y/N, I can feel it.”
You rolled your eyes at him, “Just get up and get dressed. Brush your teeth too!” 
Niki giggled, placing a soft kiss on your nose before he kicked you out of his room so he could change. 
Niki walked out of the bathroom, after freshening up. 
The apartment was dark, only the light from the windows came through. 
He walked down the hall, to turn the corner to see you, Heeseung, and __ standing by the table with the light from the candles brightening the room. 
A happy birthday banner hung on the wall, with a few red, yellow, and blue balloons. 
Niki couldn’t wipe the smile from his face. How could he possibly even fight it? His loved ones were standing in front of him, celebrating his day. 
They sang to him, causing Niki to hide his face in his hands. 
You rushed him over to the table, “Make a wish, baby.” 
Niki blew the candles out, the room falling darker but the sounds of his family cheering and clapping filled the darkness. 
Once the lights were turned on, everyone sat at the table. 
Heeseung cut the pancake-flavored cake, which was perfect for a breakfast food item for today, and passed a piece to everyone along with their coffee. 
Even though vampires don’t need food, it was fun to enjoy it now and then. 
Niki sipped on his blood bag, looking between his hyung, his mate, and you. His heart raced faster from the happiness he was feeling. 
One by one, the rest of the members of the pack called and wished him a happy birthday. 
Jake: “Happy birthday mate! Here’s to many more brother!”
Jake’s mate: “Enjoy your day little brother! Don’t cause too much chaos!”
Sunghoon: “Damn you’re getting older…but I am glad I share my birthday with you.” 
Sunghoon’s mate: “You’ve grown a lot since we met, even with you being stuck at seventeen, you’re still growing older and wiser by the day. Happy birthday!” 
Jungwon & his mate: “YOI!!! Happy birthday!!” 
Jay: “Happy birthday little bro, enjoy the cake I baked for you.” 
Jay’s mate: “Make sure to make plenty of birthday wishes and continue to raise hell! Happy birthday, Niki!” 
The smile on Niki’s face wouldn’t leave, he could feel the muscles in his face getting sore from how much he was smiling and laughing. 
You eventually leaned your head on his shoulder, snuggling close to him, “I am sorry your birthday couldn’t have been celebrated more. The snowstorm took us all by surprise.”
Niki wrapped his arm around you, pulling you closer, “I don’t need a fancy birthday party or even a fancy day to be celebrated a certain way. This way was perfect.” 
You nodded, tangling your fingers with his, “What did you wish for when you blew the candles out?” 
Niki shook his head, “Nothing.” 
You sat up and looked at him, “Why not!?” 
All Niki could do was smile, placing his hand on your cheek, his thumb tracing your jawline, “Because I already have my wish. To be beside you for the rest of eternity.” 
You softly smiled, “But you already get that.” 
He nodded, looking between you, Heeseung, and __, “Having you all beside me is enough. I couldn’t be more thankful for you guys, thank you for an amazing birthday.” 
Heeseung clapped, “Here’s to you, brother.” 
You pull Niki into a hug, “Happy birthday, Nishimura Riki, I love you so much.” 
He hugged you back tighter, resting his face on your shoulder, “I love you too, thank you so much.”

Daryl Dixon x plus size reader
You have a little crush on your handsome next door neighbour
Warnings: modern!au, mutual pining, Negan, fluff

Tumblr media
King’s County was a very cute town. Barely an hour outside of Atlanta but not so far in the sticks that you were completely isolated, it was the perfect place to set up roots. You got a house at the edge of town for practically nothing and immediately a job landed in your lap.
Of course, it was a difficult adjustment having moved from New York where you worked at a cafe to being in Georgia and getting the teaching job of your dreams but what really helped was your next door neighbour- Daryl Dixon.
You first met him the day you moved in. 
Alone with a singular U-Haul truck that had your entire life in the back of it and the mid-July sun on your back, you could think of no worse torture than this as you slowly but steadily moved box after box into your new home. You felt like you were drowning in sweat and your arms were about to fall off when you heard a deep raspy voice from just outside the truck.
“Can I help?” His accent was so thick, it took you a minute to actually understand what he said. 
The sun was at his back, covering his face in shadow but from what you could tell, he was just under 6 feet with hugely broad shoulders and slightly bowed legs. “Um yeah! That would be so great, thank you!” He nodded and grabbed the two boxes in front of him. 
You were in awe as he lugged the boxes of books up your front steps without even a grunt of exertion. You followed behind with the last of your stuff, desperately trying not to look at his ass in those dark jeans he was wearing. “You can just put that by the stairs.”
He hummed and dropped them gently right where you told him to put it. “Thank you again, could I get you some water or lemonade, I’m sorry I don’t have anything else to repay you with”
He shook his head, causing his long dark hair to cover most of his face. “Naw, jus saw ya needed help. It’s what neighbours do ain’t it.” You smiled at his bashfulness.
“Well it was still a nice thing for you to do.” You reached out your hand and gave him your name. His eyes (you could now see that they were blue) flicked to your outstretched hand and then back down to your hardwood floor but he gave you a firm shake anyway.
“Daryl.” As he pulled back, he left a smear of what you thought was motor oil on the back of your hand. His face went beat red and he opened his mouth to apologise but you spoke again before he could.
“Let me get you dinner then, I was planning on ordering a pizza and I doubt I could eat a whole pie by myself.” That got a smile out of him, a small one but it was genuine and it made your heart skip a beat.
“Alright.”
Finally, it was the winter break, after four months of trying to wrangle multiple grades (it was a small school and you were the only history teacher), you could relax. You could feel the tension melting off your body as you drove up to your house.
You pulled your car into the driveway and immediately spotted Daryl. He was perched outside his garage, once again tinkering with his motorbike, a cigarette hanging from his chapped lips. He was so absorbed in his work that he didn’t notice how you just sat in your car and stared at him longingly.
Daryl was a drop dead gorgeous man and apparently he didn’t even know it. He was incredibly strong with biceps almost the size of your head and a general bad boy biker appearance but with a heart of absolute gold. You sighed and grabbed your school bag that unfortunately had paper you still needed to grade.
“Hey Daryl!” You called out. His head shot up so quickly, his cigarette fell to the ground between his booted feet. He cursed under his breath and picked it up again. “Some teachers are coming over to my place for some drinks if you want to join, no pressure though!”
“Sure.” He dismissed but you smiled brightly.
“See you there!”
Rock music crooned from the speakers, just barely audible over the chatter of your coworkers and neighbours as they mingled. You were in the kitchen, making margaritas at the behest of the school’s gym teacher. He hovered over you as you made the drinks, he was either telling you some story about his ‘glory days’ or insulting you, you couldn’t quite tell.
“Negan, it doesn’t need that much tequila!” You snatched the nearly empty bottle from his hand which he had been pouring into the blender when your back was turned.
“Of course it does!” He tried to wrestle the bottle back from you but you stubbornly held on. It quickly became a childish game of tug-of-war that neither of you were really taking seriously, just happy to let loose after dealing with idiotic students for 4 months.
Just as you were getting the upper hand, a voice caught your attention. “Hey.” Hands in his pockets, shoulders slumped forward with a small blush dusting the apple of his cheeks. 
“Hi.” You immediately greeted, unbothered that Negan had stolen back the bottle of alcohol and had subsequently dumped the rest of its contents into the half-made cocktail mixture. “There’s pizzas in the living room and some beers chilling on the deck if you want.” You offered and the shy mechanic just nodded, wandering off into the small crowd.
You couldn’t help but let your eyes dip down to his ass, watching it as he disappeared into the hall. “Seriously? Him?" Negan’s voice startled you from the hypnotising sight, your head snapping back to face him. He was smirking at you with a mixture of disgust and a strange proudness.
“Shut up.” You grumbled and grabbed some extra ice from your freezer to throw into the blender.
“I thought I was more your type but I see it now, a redneck shotgun wedding! Maybe you’ll have roadkill hors d’oeuvres with moonshine- ow! The fuck was that for?” He rubbed at his hurt shoulder which you just punched.
“At least my wedding won’t be fucking baseball themed, you has been.” And as you bickered back and forth, neither of you noticed the figure standing in the doorway, face beat red and blue eyes practically sparkling. If it were up to him, your wedding would be the most lavish event the world had ever seen and by god, he hoped that he would be the one standing at the end of that aisle for you.
Request: Can I please get "neighbors" and "Seriously?Him?" for Daryl for your celebration?

Masterlist: x
He can’t do it
He knows he’s a coward
But he just can’t face you
He can’t confront you, he doesn’t have it in him
Especially not after what he did outside your door
And since then, whenever he’s seen you walk by, whenever your paths have met, he’s had to turn away because of the guilt and shame fluttering in his chest
Even just this morning, when you offered him a smile as you passed him down the hall, he could barely face you
It looked like you wanted to talk to him, but he couldn’t even bring himself to look you in the eyes, much less have a civilized discussion with you
He’s a fucking coward
You probably think he’s upset with you
He doesn’t know what to do with himself, doesn’t know how to deal with the mess he’s created
So, he eventually resorts to the one person that’s offered any kind of help up until this point
He reaches the familiar clearing lined by the rotting wooden fence
And he almost can’t believe his misfortune when he sees that you’re there—flushed, panting and sweaty, chatting with Hoodie and Masky by the edges of the training ground
That’s right, he remembers you’ve been training with Hoodie recently
He tries to force down the jealousy blooming in his chest like familiar heartache
And he almost turns away to avoid you again
But then Hoodie looks up, and a grin appears on his face at the sight of Jack approaching
The proxy looks back down at you, then nudges his head towards the demon
You turn to look at what he’s gesturing towards
And then Jack locks eyes with you
Fuck
He can’t keep running away from you
He takes in a deep breath to steel his nerves, then keeps walking to join up with the three of you
The two proxies nod at him, and you offer him another smile, similar to the one you gave him earlier today
God, that smile
“Came here to train as well?”
Hoodie’s voice snaps him from his daze
That’s right, he should probably stop staring at you
He clears his throat, tries to act natural
“Yeah,” he lies, and then to sound more believable, he adds, “I figured you could use more practice after I won so easily last time”
Hoodie snorts
“Hey, hey, don’t act like I didn’t get a few good ones in on you”
“You? Land some good hits on him?” Masky suddenly interjects with a sarcastic huff, “c’mon, man, your lies are usually more believable than that”
“Watch it, old man, you’re in no condition to start a fight,” Hoodie playfully threatens his partner with a light kick to his leg, which has Masky grunting in pain
And that’s when Jack finally notices the crutches leaning up against the fence next to Masky
“You fucking—“
Masky makes a move to retaliate, but Hoodie jumps back, and the injured proxy can’t go through with his attack
“What happened?” Jack asks, interrupting them with a nod toward the crutches
“Twisted my fucking ankle,” the proxy answers, shooting a death glare through his mask at his partner, “and then I got a nice little ax jammed into my calf. Damaged some nerves or something, I don’t know”
Jack hums
What would otherwise be a grave injury for a normal human was usually just a minor inconvenience for one of Slender’s proxies
The perks of getting your soul snatched up by a devil, Jack supposes
“You sure you don’t want me to take a look at it?” he offers, but Masky just shakes his head
“I’ll be fine, just sitting these sessions out for now”
“He’s using it as an excuse to take a vacation,” Hoodie teases, and he laughs as Masky fails to attack him again
“You son of a goddamn fucking—“
“Alright, alright, children, break it up”
You move between the two proxies, acting as a barrier to get them to stop annoying one another
Jack feels another pang of jealousy, but he manages to mostly just ignore it
You shake your head, grinning as the two men keep flicking and annoying one another over your smaller form
With a chuckle, you sigh
“Anyways, I’ll let you guys do your workout," you nod at Jack and Hoodie, “I gotta go take a shower”
Jack wants to say something as you’re leaving
He wants to apologize, wants to have the courage to just openly talk about what’s going on between the two of you
But it’s like there’s a disconnect between his brain and his mouth, and he suddenly doesn’t know how to speak
He’s going to have to stand there and watch you leave again
You’re a few feet away when you turn to face him, much to his surprise
“Oh, that’s right,” you say, and Jack’s ears perk up attentively, “we’re thinking about having a campfire in the backyard tomorrow. You in?”
“Of course,” he answers immediately
You smile, and the sight has him feeling all warm inside before he’s reminded of the cruel truth
He can’t trick himself again
Can’t trick himself into believing you’re into him the same way he’s into you
“Great, I’ll see you then!”
And with that, you walk off
He watches you leave, hearing the irregular pattern of his heart beating against his ribcage
He’s only snapped out of it by Hoodie yet again, who walks up behind him and offers a few friendly pats on the back
“Ah, young love~” he snickers
There’s a pause, and then Jack groans, smacking his hand to his face
“Is it that obvious?”
“Obvious?” Masky repeats the word, and Jack looks back at the injured proxy, who folds his thick arms over his chest, “Even an eight-year-old dead kid was able to pick up on it. You’re beyond obvious. You’re hopeless”
Jack groans again, and Hoodie’s condescending back pats do little to console him
“Relax,” Hoodie says, and Jack does not, in fact, relax, “She doesn’t have anything against you, y’know. You guys just need to work something out”
Jack tries not to groan again, just because three in a row seem like a bit much, at this point
“That’s the thing,” he starts, “I just—I can’t. I can’t talk to her. It’s like something gets in the way, or,” he shakes away the very recent memory of what he did in front of your door, “it just never works out”
“Listen, you’re making yourself panic. Just don’t overthink it; she’ll hear you out no matter how much you stumble over your words”
“Which you seem to do a lot around her,” Masky snickers, and whatever’s left of Jack’s confidence deflates just a little bit more
Hoodie shoots Masky a look, but all that does is make him laugh again
“Look man, she invited you to the campfire thing, right? Why don’t you try to talk to her before then? And if that doesn’t work, maybe try to find a way to spend time with her tomorrow morning or something”
Hoodie’s words do little to encourage him
Masky must notice, because he eventually adds, “I say there’s no point in waiting that long. You have something to tell her? Do it now—waiting around will just stress you out even more. You’re not doing yourself any favors by building it up in your head”
There’s a pause as Jack considers his insight
“…Ok. Alright. You’re right, I have to do this”
The demon nods to himself
He’ll just have to bite the proverbial bullet; things won’t get any less awkward between the both of you if he doesn’t do anything about it
And, really, what’s the point of waiting?
“There we go, that’s the attitude,” Hoodie gives him a few more pats on the back, “you got this, man”
When he reaches your room this time, it’s open
He knocks on the open door, calls out your name, but there’s no response
He tried giving you plenty of time to shower and come back, but maybe he’d been too eager and hadn’t waited long enough
The rational thing to do is leave and come back later
But, for some reason, he doesn’t
It’s like he’s pulled into your room, like he can’t stop his instincts from tugging him forwards—a puppet on the strings of his desire
The faint smell of your arousal lingers in the air
He breathes it in, and his abdomen immediately clenches in response
He’s being inappropriate again, he knows it
He shouldn’t be doing this
But fuck, you smell so fucking delicious
He swallows thickly
His thoughts are teetering between wanting to stay and knowing he should leave—especially before you walk in on him
And then his sight lands on a pair of lacy underwear that you left at the foot of your bed
He freezes
He shouldn’t
Christ, he really, really shouldn’t
But he notices the wet patch you’ve left on them, and it’s like he can’t help himself
He pockets them and walks out
There’s a sick sense of guilt clinging to him as he reaches his room
You’d almost think he’d be used to that feeling by now, after all the inappropriate things he’s done
But this feels like he’s just crossed yet another line
Either way, that guilt isn’t strong enough to get him to return the panties to your room
It’s not strong enough to stop him from pulling them out of his pockets and running his fingers over the wet spot at the center
And it’s most certainly not strong enough to stop him from balling them up to his face and inhaling deeply
As soon as he does, he’s done for
His lust overrides any remaining rational thought
Your scent drives him feral
He groans, already drunk off the thought of you
Another deep breath, and he’s practically drooling
It’s no use trying to hold himself back, he’s already a goner
Getting on his bed, he quickly undoes his pants, letting his hard-on spring free, and with his dominant hand, he strokes his erection from the very base all the way to the tip
He grunts, trying to imagine it was you wrapped up around him instead of just his hand
He presses your panties closer to his face, bunching them up, teasing the wet spot at his lips so that he can just barely taste the remnants of your arousal
Friends
Would you still hold that sentiment knowing all the filthy things he does while thinking of you?
He sighs, the sound low and gravelly from somewhere deep within his chest
God, you’re fucking perfect
Everything about you makes him insatiable—it’s like you were made for him, made to torture him with his need
He grinds his hips up into his palm, feeling his cock twitch and throb in response
He imagines you clenching around him, making all those pretty sounds he’s heard you make recently
He breathes in again, another lungful of your scent, and it’s almost too much
He squeezes the tip of his length, and your name escapes him in a husky sigh
His hips wriggle up, pushing more of his length into his hand, and he imagines you on top of him, naked, your back arching as he fills your pretty little cunt up with the entirety of his length
He chokes out another groan, feeling his hips stutter impatiently
When he inhales, more of your scent floods his senses, and that insatiable hunger coils in his stomach until all of his muscles are tensing involuntarily
He’s burning for your touch
He snaps his hips forward, aching cock twitching in his hold, releasing a few more beads of precum at his slit
His tongue traces over the lace of your panties, and when your taste fills his mouth, he groans eagerly
“F-fuck—(y/n)~”
He sounds just about as desperate as he feels
He pumps his length in and out, in and out of his clenched fist until his shaft is slick with precum
He imagines you lapping at his stiff cock, he imagines bending you over and screwing you senseless
The fantasies he’s had countless times before replay in his mind as he uses your panties to help him get off
Knowing your bare cunt was rubbing against the lace not too long ago turns him on more than any kind of porn ever could
It doesn’t even come close
He curses, groaning, his movements growing increasingly rushed and frantic
His mind and body alike are consumed by his desperation
His fingers dig into the delicate material, and if he had any more control over himself, he’d be worried about tearing them
But he’s too far gone to care, too engrossed in the way the pretty lace feels pressing against his face to care about being gentle
When he licks at the wet spot again, he can almost imagine his tongue was buried inside your walls instead
He ruts into his clenched fist, the prominent vein curling along his shaft throbbing with equal impatience
He’s a snarling, groaning mess, jerking himself off like a depraved fucking teenager
He huffs at your panties, breathing you in, letting your scent and taste and even just the thought of you overwhelm him until he snaps
He pushes his hips forwards, his cock twitching and throbbing as he finally cums
His seed dribbles down his shaft, pooling in a mess at his pelvis, but he’s too euphoric to care
He gives a few more languid thrusts into his hand, riding out the high, before eventually stilling
He’s panting, chest heaving, your lace panties still bundled up at his face for him to savor
But it’s just not enough
It’s not the real thing
He won’t be satisfied until he gets you
There’s a brief pause as he lets the endorphins wash over him
And then, as he’s staring up at the ceiling, basking in the aftermath of his high, he thinks, fuck
He really just stole your panties to get himself off
He’s a fucking perv
Swallowing thickly, he tries not to think about your reaction if you ever found out
Instead, he wipes up his mess, going through the leftover box of tissues he keeps by his bedside for times like these
He should probably return your underwear, he realizes
But by this point, you’ve probably finished your shower, and you’re probably back in your room already
He’ll have to return them before tomorrow night, just so that he won’t feel so guilty seeing you at the campfire and knowing he still has them
He sighs to himself
Why does he have to make things so complicated?
Why can’t he just control himself around you?
After obsessing over you for as long as Jack has, the demon has become somewhat familiar with your routine
He knows when you’re least likely to be in your room
Which means he knows the perfect time to sneak in without you seeing him do so
So in the early afternoon the following day, he finds himself back inside your place with relative ease
Surrounded by your things, your various trinkets, clothing and furniture, it has a certain kind of warmth blooming in his chest
Everything in your room is so distinctly you
Not only does your scent mark it as your territory, but the way you’ve set things up, the way you’ve decorated—it’s all so obviously your space
It brings a smile to his lips
He can’t help it; he’s utterly head-over-heels for you
He should just drop off your panties and leave as soon as he can to avoid getting caught
But again, it’s like he’s only pulled deeper into your room
Like he's coaxed into invading your space because he’s too love-drunk and obsessed to stop himself
He notices some of the framed pictures you have scattered around, and he finds himself looking at each and every single one
Some of them are with you and different creeps from the mansion, posing or hanging out at various events
Others have people he doesn’t recognize in them, and he realizes he doesn’t know much about your life before you joined the mansion
He hums, taking one of the framed photos to trace over the outline of your face
You’re grinning at the camera next to someone he doesn’t recognize, your arm thrown over their shoulder
Both of you look like you’re mid-laugh
Your smile’s utterly contagious
His heart swells in his chest
It’s only dampened by the reminder that you don’t feel the same
He sets the picture back down, trying to ignore the bitter sting of unrequited love
Focus, he tells himself
He has to find somewhere to leave your underwear that won’t be obvious they were ever taken in the first place
Next to your door, he spots a hamper for dirty laundry
Bingo
He peeks inside, which in hindsight, he really shouldn’t have
He should’ve just dropped the panties inside, then left without looking back
Because there, amongst various t-shirts and jeans, he sees them—those fucking shorts
The shorts you were wearing when he ate you out, when he fingered you at the kitchen table
He swallows thickly
Twice now
Twice he’s had a sexual encounter with you, and both of those times, you were wearing these shorts
The shorts that hug your ass so perfectly, that show off just the right amount of thigh
He wonders if they still carry your scent
He can only imagine they do
Tentative hands reach out to them
He feels the fabric against his fingertips, and he’s reminded of the way your skin had felt against his knuckles when he’d stroked over your leg
He can’t do it, he realizes, he can’t return your underwear
It’s all he has of you
It’s all he can use when he’s aching for you
Would taking the shorts be too far?
In a split-second decision, instead of taking your shorts, he takes another pair of panties that’d been tossed into the hamper
Just like the first pair, he stuffs these in his pockets, then quickly walks out of your room
He’ll return them, he thinks, he’ll definitely return them eventually
He’s just not ready to return them just yet
Thankfully, no one catches him leaving your room
And he’s so, so close to reaching the sanctuary of his own room when, much to his mortification, he hears you calling out to him
He freezes in his tracks, his hand just barely hovering over his doorknob
“Oh, hey Jack, I was looking for you!”
He can barely look you in the eyes as he turns to face you when you approach him, but hopefully, you don’t notice anything suspicious through the cover of his mask
“About the campfire I mentioned—“ you pause, looking at him
It’s like the underwear are burning in his pockets
“Yeah?” he asks, trying not to flinch at how the guilt so obviously seeps through his voice
“I know I said it was supposed to be tonight, but we’re pushing it to tomorrow because it’s raining”
When he doesn’t say anything, because he just doesn’t know what to say, you hesitate
“…Is that alright? Do you still think you’ll join?”
He nods
He feels like a deer in headlights
“A-alright, well… I guess I’ll see you then”
He nods again
You seem to hesitate again, like there’s more you want to tell him
But then you turn and leave
And as soon as you do, he opens the door and quickly closes it shut behind him
He was supposed to return your panties
Not steal another pair
He’s only gone and made things worse yet again
What the fuck is wrong with him?

Naps With Copia
Chapter 5: A New Year's Eve Nap
Other Naps: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9
For @conjuring-ghouls💙
Tumblr media
Papa Emeritus IV x GN Reader
These are all stand alone chapters so you do not have to read one before the other! This series came from my post about wanting to nap with Copia all around the abbey. The stories will all have gender neutral readers and soft Copia naps.
Warnings: Adorable rat dad Copia, soft cuddles and a lot of sappiness, sfw, 600 words
Tumblr media
It was almost the new year and you were exactly where you wanted to be.
Copia’s room was quiet, the only sounds were those coming from the crackling of the fire and the occasional squeak from his rats.  The party hats you and Copia had made for them were long gone.  The paper shredded and stuffed into their various nests they had inside the large cage.  You couldn’t help but smile when you remembered the chaos as you and Copia had tried to get a picture of them all together.  He was scrolling through them on his phone now, trying to find the perfect one to send out in a mass email to The Ministry.
How could anyone not love this man?
Distantly you could also hear the music thumping from the party.  It had started early that morning and probably wouldn’t end until well into the first day of the new year.  The Siblings and Ghouls certainly knew how to celebrate.  Copia would have to make an appearance later and you would gladly tag along.  It was always nice to see him let loose, to see him show off those dance moves of his.  Parties were not really your thing but you would never turn down watching Copia wobble his ass.
You couldn’t help but stare at his profile as he continued to mess with his phone.  The firelight was catching on the silver streaks in his hair and you found yourself reaching out to tuck a few loose strands back behind his ear.  
"Amore?"  You let your eyes drift from his hair to his face and you smiled when you saw the dopey grin he was wearing. "Everything ok?”
You started to answer him but you found yourself yawning so you quickly brought your hand up to cover your mouth.
“Sorry Copia, I didn’t realize how tired I was.”
“You’re never going to make it to midnight like this.”  He set his phone down on the coffee table in front of the couch and stretched his arms out.  “Come to Papa.”
You snorted, shaking your head as you scooted closer and leaned back against his chest.  He adjusted a bit on the couch, stretching his legs out and making sure you were comfortable.  It was his turn to tuck your hair back behind your ear and he continued to run his fingers through the strands.  You tilted your head up to look at him, smiling when you saw the soft look on his face.
“Do we have time for a nap?”
“Sì, plenty of time.”  He tightened his arms around you briefly, peppering soft kisses into your hair while he held you.  “I’ll need you to be well rested tonight.”
“Hmm?  Why is that?”
“You’ll need to be able to keep up with my wobbling.”
You laughed, shaking your head as he waggled his eyebrows.  Your heart felt so full when you were around him, your soul felt so light.  It didn’t matter where he was, whether it was in the middle of a party or struggling to put party hats on his rats, you wanted to be with him.  And right now that was taking a nap with him on his couch.
“I’ll be wobbling circles around you, just you wait.”
“Promises, promises.”  He gave you a brief squeeze and dropped a few more kisses into your hair.  It wasn’t long before you began to relax against him.  Your eyes drifted closed and you let your head rest against his chest, right over the steady beat of his heart.  “Rest now amore.”
At his words you did just that, falling asleep wrapped in his arms and wrapped in his love.

@papas-ghoulette your nap is next 😉

cal x fem!reader
fluff?, kissing, drinking
not proofread
-
"You should text Cal."...
I sat still in my bed, looking at my screen in confusion at Ashton's text. My brain unbelievably pieced together his distant attitude being tied to an attraction towards me. I furrowed my eyebrows and bit the inside of my cheek with doubt. There was no way he had a crush on me. I would know, right?
I hesitantly exited my messages with Ashton, scrolling to mine with Calum. Looking at my screen aimlessly, my thumbs shifted over the empty text box, thinking of something to say. I didn't want to scare him off, so I started simple.
"Hey"
I typed slowly, pressing send with shaky hands. I knew my nervousness wasn't stemmed from talking Calum himself, but more of finding out the full truth from him personally. Three dots appeared quickly, making my leg bounce with anxiety.
"Hi"
He responded flatly. I sighed at his dry tone. I knew his stubbornness would aide for an inconclusive conversation, so I decided to jump right in.
"What did Ashton mean before he ended the stream?" I sent the text hesitant, trying my best to sound nonchalant.
"Idk what you're talking about lol.".
His pathetic attempt at minor gaslighting me failed, I continued to push.
"Yes you do. Correct me if I'm wrong but he said you're mad at me because you love me?"
"Of course I love you. We all love you, you're my best friend."
I tossed my head back in frustration, rethinking my own suspicions. I realized I wasn't going to get what I wanted from him through a text, so I tried something else.
"Can we hangout tomorrow, just us? I feel like we need it."
I typed genuinely, knowing if he was telling the truth, he'd oblige. As the two of us hanging out alone used to be a common occurrence.
"You have work tomorrow."
He tried to think of a get away.
"I get off at 6. I'll see you after?"
I typed, giving him almost no choice but to see me. I watched patiently has I was left on read for a few minutes before Calum replied.
"I'm bringing drinks."
I smirked at his usual sass and need for a substance to calm his obvious.
" :) see you tomorrow."
I replied before switching my phone off and setting it beside me. I couldn't help but let butterflies slowly fill my stomach at the thought of myself making Calum flustered. For years, though I always found him attractive and had an underlying physical draw to him, I never imagined him more than anything than a friend. But I started to wonder if that was because I wanted it that way, or because I thought it had to be that way.
I began to doubt my own feelings towards Calum as I stared blankly at my wall in front of me. I bit my cheek as I reminisced on past memories and emotions throughout the years with Calum. I realized I never gave the thought of Calum as more than a friend a chance only for the wellness of our friendship as a group.
I stopped my thoughts in their tracks, snapping out of my trance and reminding myself that Calum hadn't confirmed nor denied his attraction to me yet, and I still could have simply misheard Ashton over my phone speaker. I settled deeply into my bed, letting my eyes flutter shut as I reassured myself of the pros and cons of tomorrows plans.
The sounds of footsteps and the occasional phone ringing filled the silence around me as I sat in boredom at my job. I had 15 minutes left of my shift, and all I could think about was the boy I would be meeting with when I got home. I tapped a pen mindlessly on the desk in front of me, my hours going by quickly while I let my mind wander about Calum.
On the dot, 6:00 rolled around and I began packing my belongings into my bag to head out to my car. I reached for my phone on my way out of the doors to reveal a message from Calum.
"Let me know when you're home.".
I caught myself smiling at his straight words, tucking my phone back into my pocket. I hurried quickly to my car, tossing my bag into the passenger seat before pulling out into the road.
I scolded myself mentally during my drive for beginning to fantasize about the possibilities with Calum and I. A smile escaped my lips at the idea of hearing Ashton's words correctly, and Calum really liking me.
Arriving home, I quickly raced to my bedroom, changing out of my work clothes and into black pajama shorts and oversized t-shirt. Leaving my makeup how it was, I pulled my hair out of its ponytail, running my hands through the tangles as I made my way to my bed, opening my phone.
"I'm home"
I sent a simple text to Calum before laying out on my back across my bed, letting out a tired breath. I rolled my ankles lazily, taking in the comfort of my bed before a single ding rang from my phone.
"Omw."
I bounced my leg anxiously awaiting Calum's arrival. Suddenly, it was like I was meeting him for the first time. I began to do things I wouldn't before think twice about. I checked my appearance multiple times in the mirror, made my bed, and tidied up my room. All things that I never cared about the boys, including Calum, minding before.
A few quiet knock fell at my front door, making me jolt from my frantic fidgeting. I calmly made my way to the front door, opening it to reveal Calum carrying a single plastic grocery bag.
"I have drinks and snacks." He lifted the bag slightly, speaking with a half smile. I stepped to the side, inviting him in. Already, I could sense his tense energy. I led him to the couch, I felt my heartbeat pick up its pace at the feeling of him so close behind me.
We took our seats beside each other, Calum leaving an awkwardly large space between us.
"Beer?" Calum offered blankly, reaching for the 6 pack of beer. I shook my head, more focused on the subject matter on my mind.
"No, thanks.".
"Wanna watch a movie or something?" He asked, forcing a fake civil smile.
The two of us sat sharing a glance for a moment before I took the wheel impatiently.
"I know you're lying." I spoke, looking down at my hands. Calum turned his head towards me quickly.
"What?"
"You're lying." I repeated, looking at his with a frustrated smile, "I know what heard on that stream, Cal." I leaned deeper into the couch, watching Calum's eyes dart across the room. He let out a sigh, appearing to be trying to gather his words.
"What do you want me to say?" He muttered quietly, making eye contact loosely. I looked down to my hands before back up to him through my eyelashes cautiously, watching his anxious expression.
"Is it true?" I spoke almost at a whisper, picking at my thumbs anxiously. He looked at me slowly, swallowing a lump in his throat before speaking deeply.
"What if it is?" He shrugged gently. I let out a sigh at his small confession, relieved at his words, yet finding myself in another boat of confusion.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I spoke, moving closer to him, feeling my energy being pulled towards his. He looked away as I got closer, becoming visually nervous. Looking back at me, he replied.
"I wanted to at first" He began, "But I kept ignoring it after some years. I was scared of what you'd say." He mumbled.
"And Ashton knew all this time" I continued, tilting my head. He looked down.
"Yeah, he thought you wouldn't feel the same either.".
We sat quietly in each others silence for a moment, sharing glances and collecting our thoughts. I felt myself warm up inside at the confessions coming from Calum, guiding my next few bold moves.
"Cal." I spoke with a smile, moving in closer. His head perked up quickly at my movements.
"Hm?" He muttered quietly.
"You should've told me sooner." I began softly.
"Why..?" He furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes darting to mine back and forth.
My eyes were stuck in a trance deeply into his sparking brown ones, and my mind took control. Without thinking, I leaned in quickly, pressing my lips to his passionately. He released a small gasp before swiftly closing his eyes, melting into the kiss as well. I pulled back quickly with semi wide eyes, looking at Calum nervously. His mouth was half agape, searching for his words. I watched his shocked expression and loss for words, instantly doubting my actions.
"I-." I started, looking down, "I'm sorry Cal, I do-" I was abruptly cut off by Calum pulling me in for another kiss, holding the side of my face with a gentle hand. I chill ran through me as our lips intertwined perfectly, making me melt under his touch. His mouth on mine was the deciding factor that I wanted every bit of Calum, in every way, all of the time.
He pulled away slowly, looking at me adoringly in the eyes. A smile escaped his lips, followed by us giggling in unison at our impulsive actions.
"Was that so hard?" I teased lightly, filled with joy at the breakthrough Calum had made.
"If I knew this was gonna' happen, I definitely would have told you sooner." He joked with a scoff. I giggled, leaning back into the couch with a sigh.
"Was this your plan the whole time?" He asked smugly, narrowing his eyes. I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.
"No, actually." I laughed, "I came into this blind. Didn't have a plan." I reached for a beer from the coffee table in front of us, cracking it open swiftly and taking a sip. Calum rolled his head back lazily on the couch before speaking.
"In all realness though, I really do like you," He began, "Like, a lot. And I have for a really long time." I began to confess slowly as he joined me with a drink.
"How long?" I asked genuinely, I turned to look at him as he continued.
"Ever since Ash started bringing you around, really. Truthfully, you're one of the most beautiful girls i've ever met, Y/n." He chuckled with embarrassment, looking down to his drink. I blushed uncontrollably at his words, mimicking his actions and looking down.
"Whatever." I giggled at his hyperbole of my description. How could someone as fit as Calum find me to be the most beautiful girl he's ever met?
"It's true." He urged, "Ever since I laid eyes on you, I wanted you to be mine." He spoke boldly. I turned to him with a serious expression, shocked by his words.
"Really?" I mumbled quietly. He nodded his head with a shy smile
An uncontrollable grin took over me, immediately noticing the change in energy. Calum seemed to be slowly resuming his usual self, only leaving me with one question. What now?

The cold wind hits your face hard, your body trembles at the sight below you. The fall was too high. Banging of someone trying to break in can be heard from behind you, Ghostface.
Ever since receiving that picture on your phone about Ethan 'dying,' things just went downhill. Now, leading to you being on a timer at death's door.
"Oh, god...I can't do it, I can't do it...!" You sobbed as Anika frantically gestured to you to hurry as fast as possible. The drawer wasn't going to hold Ghostface for so long.
You began slowly crawling over, your breathing uneven. "You can do it! That's it! That's it!" Sam and Anika shouted.
You sobbed, as you noticed Sam, Mindy, and Anika had gone quiet, staring at what was not you, but behind you...
"What?" You stared at the back, confused. "[Name], you have to move right now!" Mindy shouted and pointed behind you.
You turned around to see Ghostface stabbing his knife beside the ladder. "No! No!" You gripped onto the ladder weakly, your heart hammering in your chest.
"Move!"
"You gotta move!" Sam and Mindy tried reaching out to you, but the ladder suddenly shook back and forth and up and down. "Stop! Stop!" You ducked down your hugged the ladder, as Ghostface violently shook it.
"[Name], MOVE!" Anika cried. "Anika, I don't wanna die!" Your heart felt like it had stopped when Ghostface lifted up the ladder and tilted it. "No, no, no! Stop it! You fucker!" Mindy gabbed onto what she could of the ladder.
To their surprise, you didnt fall. You stuck on to the ladder and hugged it for your dear life. Legs tangled and curled on the steps, arms engulfing the sides, but you were upside down. There was still a chance for your downfall.
"What...? Mindy stuck her head through the ladder to see a distressed you. Sam, and Anika laughed in relief and disbelief. "Im still alive! Oh, shit!" Seeing you still clinging to the ladder had gotten him furious. He started shaking the ladder up and down again.
Until, all sudden movements stopped, and you almost slipped because they stopped during his mid-shaking-the ladder. You craned your neck to look up slightly. Two Ghostafce, but they didnt look like they were helping each other...no...they were...fighting?
Another Ghostface appeared, but swung a punch at the Ghostface trying to kill you. "What..?" Sam whispered and Anika just stared in shock.
Suddenly, the second Ghostface comes up to the window. "[Name], go...GO, NOW!" He shouted with his deep, moderated voice. That was enough to get you going, because even though you were backwards, you started crawling up slowly. One by one...
Sam, Mindy, and Anika cheered as they picked you up. Anika arms held under your arms, Mindy was holding your stomach, and Sam got your legs. They hauled you in the apartment on the count of three.
Anika, and Mindy hugged you. "You did it! You did it...!" Anika cheered. Sam crouched down and came up behind you.
"What was that..?" You shook your head. "I dont know...I think that Ghostface knows us, or rather...me."

ᥫ᭡. this is for the Summer Lovin Collab, which is being hosted by the most gorgeous & lovely baby of mine @gojodearest ! leli, thank you so much for letting me join it <3
Tumblr media
It was supposed to be just a normal afternoon, and at first it really was for everybody, but now that night had fallen and it was still hellishly hot even though the water in the pool at the Fushiguro house helped you to cool down, it didn't seem like such a normal afternoon, especially for Itadori. 
Itadori who tried not to stare too much at you and your barely swimsuit-covered body all day and also tried not to let the boner, covered by the shorts, in the middle of his legs be so evident. But it was difficult with you completely oblivious to how your simple actions, like hugging him from behind with your tits pressed against his spotted back or climbing over the edge of the pool with your ass moving up and down with droplets of water running down your skin, deeply affected his sanity and how Megumi was making him move so much that day to get new popsicles and new juices from the kitchen that were bought by Toji before he left with Tsumiki early that same day. 
The house was only for the three of you all day and maybe even a good part of the night, considering that by now the clock was striking 6 pm, the sun was giving way to the moon and there was no sign of Megumi's father being back home. And neither you nor Itadori could worry about that: you were still dying of heat, the swimsuit clinging to your skin without letting you know whether it was the fault of sweat or the pool water, while, on the other hand, your pink-haired, reasonably muscular-bodied friend had to worry about his dick that was starting to hurt from the length of time he had been trying to ignore it. 
“Are you okay, Yuuji?” you asked still at the edge of the pool with your arms resting on the tiles as Megumi pulled his sun chair closer to you and sat down with a new popsicle in hand. 
“I think the sun was bad for him today,” Megumi spoke up locking his lips around the popsicle and sucking it without any trace of haste and staring at Itadori so hard that he had the impression that he knew what was wrong with him, “Wanna go take a shower and go home, Itadori?” 
If he had to get out of the pool, you would definitely see the boner he gave so hard to hide. 
An embarrassed smile appeared on his lips, “N-No, it’s still early, isn't it? I already told my roommate that I was going to stay ‘till almost dawn at your house, Megumi.” 
As soon as the house owner's son nodded, Itadori thought he had gotten rid of the biggest problem of all. Until he saw you leaning hands on the iron bases at the sides of the pool and by the straining motion from bottom to top of your hands and elbows, he knew you were about to get out of the water, with your whole swimsuit sticking to your body like a second skin and the droplets dripping down your ass, your pussy, the middle of your thighs... Damn! The middle of your thighs! His mouth even salivated just imagining himself being able to shove his mouth between them, against your pussy that he knew was tight because of Megumi's having already confided in him about it when they were both drunk on a typical “Boys' Night” – Toji's son might not remember it, but the pink-haired boy did. 
Itadori felt his heart beat even faster, his fingers pressed against the edge of the pool until their tips were close to white, his teeth bit down on his lower lip so hard that he might be a few moments away from drawing blood, his dick became even more painful, and the intense pumping caused by the pulsing of his veins indicated that maybe, just maybe, there was very little left before he climaxed without permission and without any kind of touch from you. 
“Hey, angel,” Megumi called out to you before you could get out of the pool completely and you, unaware of Itadori’s clear stare at your wet ass, looked up at him, “Can you go back ‘n help Itadori? He looks like he's having such a hard time.” 
When attention turned to Yuuji, he looked away to the clear water knowing that the drops of liquid falling down his forehead were more sweat than coming from the pool. 
“He... is?” you frowned; he just looked normal. 
“Mhm, he is, if he gets out of the pool, it makes it easier for you to understand, princess,” Megumi replied, getting up from the sun chair and still sucking on the popsicle, “Mind showing her, Itadori?” 
“Megumi–,” Itadori was about to start talking, but you had already got into the pool again and were waiting for him to lift himself out using the strength of his own arms as he, Toji and your boyfriend always used to do on summer days. 
“Fuck!”, Yuuji thought doing exactly what was expected from you and sitting on the edge of the pool with an obvious bulge between his legs and Megumi called out to you with his fingers before speaking, “There we go, I’ve been wondering for how long you'd try not to eyefuck my girl for another summer, bro, you're so bad at hiding it.” 
An amused chuckle escaped him, and you again headed out of the pool without looking at Itadori’s face, but knowing that he was so embarrassed that his cheeks rivaled the watermelon juice Toji had made for you before leaving with Tsumiki. 
It was a pity he couldn't know about the little summer plan agreed upon between you and Megumi, who knew better than anyone how Itadori had the biggest crush on you since last summer, which was when he had the pleasure of meeting you on a Fushiguro beach trip. At first it was uncomfortable to see him making advances to you without even noticing, but as time went by, the youngest of the Fushiguro family's sons began to wonder if he should cut his friend some slack, after all: it wouldn't hurt to let Yuuji have his way with you just once, right? Then everything would go back to normal; after the summer, everything would go back to normal.  
“Can you help him, love?” Megumi asked you as soon as you stopped in front of Itadori who was still sitting, but this time with his back to the pool, and you readily agreed before kneeling exactly in front of his spread legs. 
“W-Wait, Y/N, you don't–don't need to, it, do it just because–” 
“Relax~, Itadori,” Megumi yawned forcefully before kneeling across from his friend with the head level with his, “It's summer! No time to think, just time to relax and enjoy everything, ‘m I wrong?” 
Yuuji denied, not initially paying attention to one of your hands snaking over his boner and squeezing it without much force, just enough to make him gasp and promptly try to force his hips against your palm. 
“Good, you're goin’ to enjoy my girl as much as I tell you to, right?” Megumi pushed the popsicle away from near his own mouth to rest the tip of it still cold against his friend's lips who silently agreed again before gasping as he felt you resting your mouth against his neck to nibble and kiss his warm skin. 
“Megumi, I can't—,” Yuuji gasped as he felt you pull his cock out of his shorts and press your thumb against his swollen tip, leaking pre-cum in droves, “She's your girl ‘n I'm—” 
“My best friend? Yeah, I know,” Megumi retorted with a shrug before continuing, “But, if you feel her inside, feel a real pussy this summer, who knows, maybe you'll stop staring at her almost drooling,” as he gave a casual chuckle, Itadori felt almost like he was about to explode; both from the humiliation of having his own friend throw in his face how obvious his fantasies of fucking his girlfriend were, and from finally being able to feel your delicate fingers playing with his rockhard dick. 
“He's so cute like this, 'Gumi,” you spoke with a little sideways smile and began to actually move your hand up and down around your boyfriend's friend's shaft, “I bet he's so close to cumming, he's throbbing so hard in my hand.” 
Megumi's eyes went from your smiling face to his best friend's pink-tipped cock before he ran his tongue over lips and went back to sucking on his popsicle.  
“I have a great idea,” he spoke and signaled with raised eyebrows for you to stop playing with Itadori, who moaned in frustration almost about to beg for his hand to come back, “Shall we make a bet?”, Megumi looked at Yuuji, “Let's see who can fuck her faster 'n harder so we can finish everything before my dad is home, what'chu think?” 
Itadori gasped and licked his dry lips before looking at you and then more specifically and brazenly at your thighs with tiny droplets of pool water still running down your skin. Fuck, he just wanted to be able to rail you sometime in his life and it was almost unbelievable that Megumi decided to give this to him as a gift this summer. 
“S-She can handle two at once?” Yuuji asked already finishing pushing his shorts down and standing up only to cum at the scene of his best friend possessively taking his own girlfriend to the nearest sun chair to bend her over it and whisper something close to her ear that he didn't know what it was but you were fully aware had been a little: “Don't tell him to pull out, 'kay? We'll deal with the problem later”. 
“You'll be the first to find out, I guess,” Toji's son replied and pulled the hem of your swimsuit to the side, immediately letting Itadori see your small hole already leaking and completely ready to be stretched, “She's so small, isn't she? That's why she's the best pussy,” he spoke stroking your folds and rubbing your clit gently, until he saw you clinging to the sun chair and forcing your hips up; if he didn't know you so well, he would think you were showing yourself too much to Itadori. 
Silently, Yuuji moved a little closer until he was in front of your body and pulled your hips down to place your entrance above his swollen tip. He always thought that when he could fuck you, he would have enough self-control to slide into your pussy calmly, to make you feel every vein and inch of skin on his cock, to make you feel yourself being opened little by little, but today? After a hot sunny summer day and having the blessing of his best friend, your boyfriend? He couldn't do that, his personal instinct pushed him into the abyss of pounding inside you, all at once, deep, with the tip of his cock kissing your soft cervix and his hands gripping your waist so tightly that there would be possible marks or bruises there the next day. 
Yuuji's head fell back forcefully, his eyes rolling back and your pussy squeezing him hard from all sides — Megumi definitely didn't lie when he said how tight you are, Itadori's hand couldn't even rival that warm, wet, perfect hole of yours. The first thrust was weak, slow, just to make sure he wasn't dreaming, the second was faster, deeper, served as the beginning of the rhythm Itadori built as he fucked you like a beast, as if he had never had the opportunity to feel a pussy as good as yours before. 
Your body moved back and forth in accordance with his and eyes couldn't look away from Megumi's that watched you intently while his hand kept holding the popsicle stick between his lips. His expression was so neutral that you didn't know if you could moan the name of his best friend without making him resent you later, but as soon as Itadori hit against your most sensitive and sweet spot your worries went away and the only thing coming out of your mouth besides gasps was the name of the guy who was fucking you so hard, so rough, just as your boyfriend had planned.  
But before Yuuji even felt the tip of his cock get too sensitive and his balls were ready to spew his hot, sticky cum against your walls, the other boy pulled him back by the shoulder and took over in front of your pussy, now completely puffy and wet in a mixture of your juices and the pre-cum that wasn't his. 
“Forgot about our bet? You had your first round, now it’s my time,” Megumi spoke already putting a hand on your waist and pulling you against his groin, “By the way, can you hold it for me?” his other hand shook the popsicle towards Itadori, whose hand reached up to take it by the wooden handle and your boyfriend denied with his head, “Nah, nah,” and then waved at his friend's face. 
Oh, Yuuji understood this time. And then he opened his mouth slowly, soon after, feeling the taste of cold strawberry invade his tongue. But he was sure that your pussy tasted even better, even sweeter. 
Megumi slid calmly into you, now holding you by the waist with both hands, and it wasn't long before he was pulling your body up until your ear was glued to his mouth. 
“What's this, hm? Moaning another guy's name right in front of your boyfriend? You should be ashamed,” he whispered before giving a quick thrust and standing completely still afterwards, “I'm gonna fuck you so hard 'n cum so much and then make him slurp my cum out of your pussy, sounds good?” 
Megumi didn't think he would get jealous that easily if he let Itadori fuck you, but right now that just meant that the bet was being taken seriously and the only person who was likely to win in all this was you, with two dicks ready to breed you at any moment. Isn't that what summer is all about?

Tumblr media
It wasn’t in your plans to lose your composure in public and cry. Especially not at a wedding that isn’t yours.
Maybe it’s because you watched your ex gets all cozy with your best friend, or the fact that now that your cousin is married you are the last unmated omega in your family.
You never gave much about tradition and getting married or mated before turning thirty. Some omegas even freak out if they don’t find a mate before they turn twenty. You never were this kind of omega.
But now that you sit at the table, cheering for a cousin you haven’t seen in years, tears roll down your cheeks.
“Aw, you are moved to tears from the speech,” your aunt coos. She smiles and pats your hands. Your aunt is proud of her daughter, and you don’t have the heart to tell her that your tears have nothing to do with your cousin’s wedding.
“It’s a,” you choke on your tears, “very moving speech. I’m sorry.” You lie and give her a cracked smile. “She must be very happy.”
“My dear, I’m sure you’ll find your mate,” she says. You know that your aunt means well, but she just added another stab to your vulnerable heart. “The right young man is waiting just around the corner.”
You’d like to roll your eyes at her words. Your mate doesn’t wait around the corner. And you won’t meet him at any moment. “Sure,” you say, and force a smile on your face.
“Where are you going?” She asks when you get up from your chair. The speeches are over, and people are busy stuffing food into their mouths.
“I need to use the toilet,” you whisper. “I’ll be right back.” Another lie easily rolls off your tongue.
The truth is that your stomach churns, and you’d like to throw up watching your ex-boyfriend nip at your friend’s neck. If you don’t leave the room now, you’ll do something you regret.
It’s worse enough that you cried. You won’t give them the satisfaction and watch you lose control. Even though you’d like to scratch her eyes out.
You try not to run out of the room but walk fast enough to struggle not to slip on the floor. Goddamn high heels. Why did you have to choose the most uncomfortable shoes you own to wear today out of all days?
“Fuck,” you almost made it out of the room when you slip and end up face first in someone’s chest. “Great. My fucking luck!”
“Watch out, doll,” he easily helps you steady your wobbling legs. He gives you a warm smile and chuckles as you stare at him with wide eyes. “You good? Did you hurt your ankle?” His eyes drop to your feet, and he shakes his head at your choice of shoes. “These shoes are no good. You could easily break your neck.”
“You are telling me,” you huff. “I had to wear them because of the wedding but-“ you lean closer to whisper in his ear, “I’m hiding a pair of sneakers in my bag.”
He smirks at your admission. “So, do you often run away from weddings to crash into people?”
“Shit, I’m sorry,” you splutter as you take your time to drink his appearance in.
The man catching your fall is very handsome. Sadly, he’s older than you, at least twenty years. His salt’n’pepper beard, the grey in his hair, and the lines around his eyes tell you so. Which means that he’s likely married or at least mated.
You sigh. This is not the right place nor the time to mourn the loss of a man you didn’t have in the first place. “It’s fine. I love getting run over by a pretty dame. How about I help you get a drink? You look thirsty. I guess I’m too hot to handle and you need water.”
Giggling at his corny pick-up line you consider him. “If you invite a lady for a drink, it should be at least a Martini.”
“Dry or extra dry?” He cocks a brow.
“I guess in your presence no woman stays dry,” you bluntly reply, making him chuckle. His cheeks turn pink, but he plays it cool. Damn him. He makes you drop your gaze to look at his hands to search for a ring.
“Cute,” he remarks. “I bet you taste even sweeter.” Oh, he’s a player. “Name’s John, doll. What’s yours?”
“Y/N,” you hold out your hand and give him your sweetest smile. If he wants to play, who are you to tell him to stop? “Nice to meet you, John.”
“Dito, sweetness,” he shakes your hand and holds it a little longer than needed. His thumb brushes over your skin, making you shudder. “Now, let’s get you a drink. We want you to stay hydrated.”
Tumblr media
“What are you doing?” He watches you take the olive picks out of your drink to place them on a napkin. “Don’t waste them.”
Your eyes widen when he takes the olive pick to drop the olives in his mouth. “You like olives?”
“Yeah,” he chuckles and flashes you an irresistible smile. “You hate them, I assume.”
“Yes and…I mean…” You lick your lips as John takes a sip of his drink. “Did you ever hear of the olive theory John?”
“No.” He cocks a brow at your question. “Why don’t you tell me about it?”
“It’s…forget it.” You shake your head. “It’s nonsense.”
“It was important enough for you to mention it, Y/N. Come on, tell me about it. I don’t want to get my glasses out to search for it on my phone.”
“Okay,” you lick your lips. “If you laugh about me, I’ll go.”
“I promise not to laugh, doll.”
“There was this show. It’s called…” You clear your throat. “That doesn’t matter. There was this cute couple. One of them hated olives, but the other one loved them. One of their friends developed the theory that this fact makes them a great couple. A perfect balance, you know.”
John nods thoughtfully. He looks at the abandoned olive pick, considering your words. “I’m much older than you, doll. Do you know what you get yourself into when you tell me things like that?”
“No, but enlighten me,” you take the glass out of his hand to take a sip. “It’s only a theory from a TV show.”
“Hmmm…maybe we should test the theory,” he takes the drink out of your hand to down it. “How about we get out of here? We could go for a walk.”
“Maybe after you got me another drink,” you lean closer to run your hand over his hand. “I’m not a girl for one night.”
“Of fucking course not,” he grins. “You’re a keeper…”

As you entered the outskirts of the city, you, Halsin, and Karlach split off from the main group to secure your next campground, while the others started looking around for Astarion’s siblings and for Lae’zel’s contact.
You offered a small girl, Yenna, some food and a few coins, but when she asked to join your camp, you looked at the others and you all agreed it would be safer if she didn’t stay with your group. 
“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” you said, kneeling down so you speak to her face to face. “It’s dangerous to stay with us. We have enemies, and they could hurt you.”
The little girl nodded. “All right. I understand.”
“We’ll walk with you to the temple, perhaps? Find a safe place for you there,” Karlach said.
You took her to the temple nearby, only to find it closed off.
“Murders? At the temple?” Karlach muttered.
You looked down at the girl. “Perhaps… somewhere else.”
Wandering into the refugee area, you eventually ran into some of the tieflings you had met back in the grove. They agreed to take in the human girl, feeling sorry for her having lost her mum.
“You haven’t seen Mol on your travels, have you?” one of the tiefling children asked. 
You shook your head. “No dear, I’m sorry.”
“We’ll keep an eye out for her, alright? I bet she’s alive, that li’l rascal,” Karlach assured them.
“Of course she is! She’s tough,” one of the other kids replied, as if it was obvious.
Leaving Yenna in caring hands, your trio wandered a little further and found an abandoned farmhouse off the beaten path, with a large yard and ruined buildings.
The three of you looked at each other and grinned.
“Perfect.”
***
You had set up nearly everyone’s tents, while Karlach had wandered off to let everyone know where the camp was. Halsin was setting up his own tent, while Scratch & Owly were already running around, sniffing the perimeter and chasing each other around. Owly had certainly grown bigger in the weeks since he had joined your merry little troupe, and you couldn’t let him sit in your lap anymore. He had grown too large and would probably crush your legs at this point.
But he was still lovable and huggable, so when he nearly ran past you, you leapt upon him and hugged him tight. You could hear his childish giggle in your head as you rubbed his belly.
~~More, more!~~
~Me too, me too!~ Scratch added as he joined your puppy pile.
You played with your beloved friends, not realizing that Withers had appeared. His shadow spooked you, and you turned with a gasp.
“Oh, it’s just you.”
“Hmm.”
“How… do you always find us? And why don’t you just walk with us to our next destination?”
Withers stared at you for a few moments, making you feel uncomfortable. “Thou needest not know.”
You shrugged. As per usual, his non-answer gave nothing away. “Fine.” Giving the two furballs one last pat before shooing them away to play elsewhere, you slowly walked with Withers as he claimed a spot in front of a boarded up, half-ruined building. 
“So… You once said that fate brought me here, but it was up to me to stay, right?”
He closed his eyes slowly, then just as slowly, opened them. “I believe I said the rest was up to thee.”
“The rest of what?”
He did not answer.
“You’re infuriating, you know that?”
You swore you saw a hint of a smile flicker on his dried up lips before he returned to his neutral, almost bored expression.
***
It was nightfall before the others returned, gathering around the campfire and trading stories. You overhead quite a bit, and realized that there was a lot going on. As you flitted about, you could hear fragments of conversation, discussing their next moves.
“Oh, we ran into Orin today.”
“Really? So did we!”
“Wait, who’s Orin again?” you asked, coming closer to the campfire.
They described her, a changeling woman in a red outfit, murder in her eyes and a dangerous aura.
“If you think she’s nearby, just run,” Shadowheart said. “Find one of us if you can.”
You gulped and nodded.
Gods, is it really alright for me to stay with them? If she can impersonate anyone, she could…
You shook your head. You’d just have to stay vigilant.
***
As you finished all your prepwork for the night, you found Astarion sitting by the fire, tossing the feywild bell idly as he stared into the flames. You immediately grabbed it out of the air and clutched it close to your chest.
“Careful with that!” you nearly screeched.
He looked at you. “Calm down, did you really think I would drop it?”
“I’m not taking any chances.”
He shrugged.
You suddenly had an idea. “You don’t need this feywild bell anymore, right?”
“I suppose not.” He cocked his head, an eyebrow raised. “You want it so badly?”
“I don’t want anyone else to be tempted to ask her other questions,” you replied. “It’s bad news, messing with a pixie.”
He shrugged. “All right. I guess it doesn’t serve much of a purpose now that we’re here.” He waved a hand dismissively towards you. “You can have it. Just remember that I was nice to you.”
You grinned. “How could I forget? It happens so rarely, it’s like a little treat.”
“Cheeky kitten.”
“Stingy cat.”
***
A few days passed in the relative calm in Rivington, with the others investigating their various leads and returning at night to share notes. They hadn’t gotten much further to figuring out how to get close to Gortash without basically fighting the entirety of the Flaming Fist, nor finding out where Orin was hiding. Lae’zel had been close to getting answers about her issue, but you had overheard them talking about finding another way, because she had been considering making a deal with Raphael.
“You want to sign your soul to a devil?” you had asked Lae’zel later that night.
She had looked away. “I must do what must be done. The Comet will fly free again.”
You sighed. “Don’t throw away your soul so quickly when there may be a better way, with some effort and some planning.”
To your surprise, she had listened to you, and the next day, you had overheard them talking about finding a way into Raphael’s home to steal some kind of weapon.
Okay, not quite what I had in mind, but at least her soul will stay free.
***
On the first day of autumn, the others came back during the middle of the day, to your surprise.
“We found a little place along the harbor,” Jaheira said. “I pulled some strings, so we can use it as our base of operations for now.”
You nodded. “Alright, let’s get going.”
***
Walking through Basilisk Gate and into the city, you couldn’t help the chill of anxiety running through your veins. 
The Zhentarim are here. They barely looked for me before, and I doubt they’d even remember the bounty on my head now, even if it was still available. Maybe I’m just being paranoid.
And yet despite your logic, your anxiety wouldn’t go away.
You followed the others as they led you and the floating disc full of backpacks, bedrolls, and rolled up tents to the water’s edge. As you approached what appeared to be a dilapidated archway, you didn’t bat an eye. After all, you were used to such shitty locales. However, as you walked through, your jaw dropped. The harbor site was ridiculously huge. It spanned several buildings, an abandoned chapel amongst them, with a magnificent view of the water.
“A little place, Jaheira?” you asked her as you set up the main area up within a large veranda. “This is practically a mansion compared to where we’ve been staying before.” You sidled up to her and eyed her curiously. “What kind of strings did you pull? Garrotes?”
She laughed. “Don’t underestimate the power of a few names,” she said as she took her pack from the floating disc. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to pick a good spot for myself.”
You shrugged. Ever since she had permanently joined your group, she had declined your offer to cast your cantrips on her gear, and you respected that. She seemed a relatively private person; you could relate.
Setting up the veranda as the communal area, you hummed peacefully as you worked. A shadow overhead blocked the setting sun for a moment, alerting you to some welcome visitors. You walked over to greet Isobel and Dame Aylin as they landed on the lower level, near the water.
“Do you mind if we stay in your camp for a bit while we get our bearings?”
“Not a problem, although I’m sorry to say we don’t have any spare tents. We do have a couple of extra bedrolls though.”
“They can use my tent,” Shadowheart said. “I… can find other accommodations.”
You blinked. Then you grinned like a cat that had just caught a mouse.
She glared at you.
The others politely said nothing at your silent banter, but you resisted teasing her in front of your guests. “Well, since Shadowheart is being so kind, let me prepare the tent to your preferred temperature.”
***
You entered Astarion’s tent to see him reading that creepy book again. He closed it and heaved a huge sigh.
“Did… did you finish reading it?” 
There were shadows beneath his eyes and he looked a bit weary. “Yes, finally.”
“Did you get what you needed out of it?”
He shrugged. “Yes? No? I’m not sure. It is full of terrible secrets, including Cazador’s bloody ‘Rite of Profane Ascension’, but it told me nothing new.”
Then he grinned. “Then again, it was filled with otherworldly power. Which I am more than happy to wield to my advantage.”
You raised an eyebrow. “Alright, well, as long as the price isn’t too high.”
“And what price would that be?”
“Your soul. Your freedom.”
He put the book away and patted the bedroll beside him. As you knelt down, he promptly laid his head onto your lap. You automatically began to run your hands through his hair, feeling his contentment through the soft touch of your fingers on his scalp.
If he were a cat, I bet he’d be purring right now.
“What if the price was souls other than ours?” he said slowly.
You looked down at him. “This is about ascending, isn’t it?”
“Yes, naturally.”
You blew out a breath. “I don’t think giving a devil any souls is good for anyone, even the contractor.”
Astarion frowned. “I thought you were with me on this. Besides, I’ll need something to protect me from the sun if things don’t work out with our parasite friends. This ritual could set me free.” He sat up and took your hands in his, meeting your eyes and looking a little vulnerable. “And you want what’s best for me, surely?”
You almost wished he was being manipulative, but from your touch, you could tell that he truly thought this was the best way. It would be harder to change his mind since his convictions were true. “Of course I do, but I don’t think it’ll be best for you in the long run.”
“There won’t be a long run if I die in the sunlight,” he replied harshly.
His frustration with you felt like a hot iron pan on your skin, and you flinched, pulling your hands away. He immediately softened his expression.
“I’m doing this for you, too, you know. To make sure we’re both safe. Forever, for good.”
“We can be safe if Cazador is killed. Your… colleagues… need not be sacrificed.”
“They’re not sweet innocents. They brought him just as many victims as I did.”
You frowned. Doesn’t that make them the same as you? Or even me, when I had to kill to keep my own life? “You don’t think any of them would spare you, if the situation was reversed?”
“No,” he said definitively. “No one ever looked out for me. No one ever said a kind thing to me.” He paused, taking your hand again. “You’re the first one to care. Other people don’t have a heart like you. You’re… you. No one is like that.”
“I’m not—”
“Ah, don’t sell yourself so short.” He gently caressed your cheek, a strum of possessiveness plucking its way through the tenderness of his touch. “You’re the only thing in the world I care about. And that’s all that matters to me.”
Warning bells went off in your head as that hum of covetousness grew louder with each caress. Did he just call me a ‘thing’? “Then listen to me. Don’t lose yourself just to gain power.”
He frowned. His hand, which had been gently resting on the back of your neck, suddenly tightened ever so slightly. “I’ll do whatever it takes to see you safe, even if you don’t appreciate it.”
…mine… MINE…
Your heart pounded in fear at the intensity of his emotions, though you could tell that he didn’t realize how much he was projecting. “I… I need some air.”
His anxiety peaked, but you couldn’t deal with it as your own unstable emotions began to make your heart pound. You pulled away from him and left the tent, not letting yourself look back.
Outside in the night air, you took a few calming breaths as you walked toward the edge of the water. The moon shone brightly in the sky, its reflection a silver disc shimmering on the surface of the river.
What is happening to him? Am I really the first person he’s ever cared about? Is that why he’s so focused on keeping me safe?
Staring out toward the horizon, you wondered when he began to see you as more of a possession, and no longer an independent person.
I need to set things straight.
By the time you came back into the tent, Astarion was already in a trance.
Perhaps tomorrow, then.
***
The next morning, bright and early, you awoke alone. Coming out, you noticed that your companions had already left on their adventures, having eaten some cold cuts and fruits. 
Missed my chance to talk to Astarion. Dammit. I’ll do it tonight. I hate confrontations, but… I can’t let this slide.
As you were cooking a small breakfast for yourself, you saw to your surprise that Gale had returned.
“How would you like to come with me to Sorcerous Sundries?”
“I thought you and the others already got what you needed from there.”
He shrugged. “Well, yes, but there could be more information there that might help.”
You looked at his hopeful expression for a moment. “No one else wanted to go again, hm?”
He frowned. “I just thought you might want a chance to get out of camp, that’s all.”
You raised an eyebrow. “Not even Shadowheart wanted to go?”
Gale sighed. “No, not even her.”
Laughing, you patted him on the back. “I’ll accompany you, my friend. After all, I have a few things I’d like to research.”
***
Staring up at the huge tower, you realized that calling it a bookstore was disrespectful. The place was a treasure trove of tomes, a wondrous collection of knowledge and lore that you could barely comprehend. It was hard not to wander off and get lost in all of the aisles, just reading all the titles. Gale told you he was going to have a look around and ask an employee for certain texts, and that he’d meet you at the front desk when he was done. So you wandered off to look for books about songs and the Sylvan language.
My mother may have never taught me Sylvan, but I can at least try on my own… if there is anything here.
After some searching, you managed to find a thin book that had a rudimentary translation of a Sylvan poem. It would have to do for now. 
You also found a book from the School of Song that Gale had mentioned a while back, with some introductory songs. Purchasing the two books ate into your gold pouch quite a bit, but it was worth it.
You were already working through one of the songs in your head when Gale came to the front desk.
“Oh? Found something you liked?”
You nodded. “Yes, a book from the School of Song. Hopefully I can learn some new musical spells.”
Gale took you back to the harbor before heading off to find the others. You spent the rest of the afternoon doing some chores around the camp. 
By the time the sun set over the water, you could hear some of your companions entering the campsite, sharing their stories of the day.
You realized that Gale, Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion hadn’t returned with them.
“Do you know where the others went?” you asked.
Wyll scratched his chin. “Shadowheart mentioned something about finding a lead while searching for her parents.”
You closed your eyes and tried to find that dark purple strand of power that you associated with Shadowheart. Now that you had subtly tried it a few times this past week, analysing the feel of each of your companions’ powers, you could quickly feel them out without having to see them. After half a minute, you gave up. She was too far away.
“I hope they’re okay,” you said. 
Wyll patted your shoulder. “They’ll be fine. Karlach is with them, after all,” he said half-jokingly.
You smiled. “You two have gotten along quite well, considering how things started.”
“And to think I was going to kill her, assuming she was a devil of the hells.” He scoffed self-deprecatingly. “She’s a breath of fresh air at the end of a long day. I…”
You watched his eyes widen before his whole expression softened oh so tenderly. “Well, I respect and admire her a great deal,” he finally said.
Gently touching his arm and squeezing it reassuringly, you confirmed your suspicions. You love her. “I’m sure she’d love to hear that from you directly, once she comes back.”
Wyll smiled and nodded. “Once she comes back,” he repeated softly.
Supper time came and went, and the others were still gone. You prepared their tents and set aside a portion of cheese and cold cuts for them in case you were asleep when they returned. As you were cleaning up after the evening meal, you felt a sharp sting to your seal, one you hadn’t felt since…
Oh no. “Wyll!”
He came to you just as Mizora appeared, rising from a hellish portal in the ground, along with two other devils. She gave him an ultimatum, and with you by his side, he stared at the contract, torn between freedom and family.
You grabbed his hand, letting his fear and dread wash over you. Fueling your seal with his emotions, you searched for the right way forward. Please, please help him, guide his path to the happiest possible ending.
“Wyll,” you finally whispered. 
He turned to look at you, conflicted.
“Save yourself.”
His eyebrows raised in surprise. “But… my father…”
“Yes, his father,” Mizora repeated with a mocking sneer, gaining a glare from Wyll.
“You can save your father without her help. But you can’t save yourself alone.” You squeezed his hand. “The others will help you find him, you know they can.”
Closing his eyes, his face in great pain, Wyll took a deep breath.
Please. Please take my advice.
He turned to the she-devil. “You wretch. Do it. Break the pact.” His face crumpled. “Father…”
Mizora grinned before reciting the words to break the pact, and stubbornly decided to stick around in camp as a mostly impartial observer. Setting herself up in a corner of the harbor near Wyll’s tent, she summoned a glass of wine and cast her eyes around with an arrogant sneer.
Gods, I hate that she won’t go away. You turned to Wyll. “Come with me, I have an idea.”
You guided him to the edge of the water. Taking out your dagger, you cut your palm, dripping five drops of your blood into the water.
“I learned this from a book,” you told him when he looked a bit surprised. Then you turned to stare into the surface of the water and began to sing.
Use my voice and my song
To guide my vision far, far beyond
Take my blood, a gift to thee
To unveil a sight unseen…
The blood swirled and suddenly an image appeared in the water. You were not familiar with the locations, nor the man being pushed into a metal container of some kind, but Wyll clearly recognized him.
“Father!”
The vision disappeared after a minute. You turned to him. “Do you know that place?”
Wyll shook his head. “No, but I can talk to the others. Perhaps they’ve seen something similar.” He pulled you into a hug. “Thank you,” he murmured. “You’ve given me another path.”
…grateful…anxious…guilt…
You hugged him in return. “You deserve to be free, Wyll. Don’t ever feel selfish for wanting that.”
His hold on you tightened, and you felt him tremble slightly before he took a deep breath and stepped back, his hands on your shoulders. Giving you a wan smile, he walked back with you to the campfire before heading back to his own tent.
You headed toward Astarion’s tent to heal the cut on your palm with some potion before going to sleep, but you heard your alarm bell chime on your belt. Hurrying to the entryway instead, you realized that it wasn’t the others.
“Who… who are you?”
A tiefling woman and a human man, their eyes glowing red, walked down the path towards you. You knew the signs now, so you could tell right away.
Vampire spawn.
You backtracked as you tried to head back to where everyone else was, but you stumbled over your feet in your panic. In a flash, they were upon you, the man’s arm wrapped around you in a chokehold, covering your mouth to prevent you from screaming. You stomped down hard on his foot and bit into his hand, which bought you a split second of freedom before the woman pinned you down, shoving your face into the dirt.
“She smells of Astarion,” she said as she leaned over, sniffing your neck.
“If we take her, he will come to us.”
“Leave him a message.”
As you struggled futilely in the tiefling’s iron grip, the man carved letters into one of the crates nearby. Helplessly, you watched as he walked up to you, raised his fist…
Then darkness.
***
It had been a hellish day and a half. Astarion didn’t expect to be playing rescuer, but here he was, helping Shadowheart bring her parents home, walking with them through the lower city to the harbor where their camp was.
Where she was. His mind wandered, imagining her smile at his return, his worried look as she fussed over him, her gentle touch as she washed and brushed his hair. He wanted to set his little witch onto his lap and languidly sip her sweet blood and fall into a lovely trance, her scent wafting around him…
As he stepped through the entryway, he immediately saw the struggle in the dirt, his witch’s footsteps, and the footprints of two others.
Oh fuck no. Nobody takes what is MINE.
“You all you better come see this,” Karlach said, standing next to a crate.
His stomach dropped as he came closer. The poorly carved message was as bright as day.
‘WE HAVE HER’
“Fuck,” he muttered. He turned to the others, scowling. “I know where she is. But we have to go in the daylight when he’s weakest.”
Shadowheart came back from settling her parents into her tent to rest. “When who is weakest?” she asked, not having caught the first part of the conversation.
“Cazador.”

“Tattooed in your brain” part 3!
Damian preist x fem Reader!
Type- fluff(semi smut at the end)
Warnings- it gets suggestive/steamy at the end, so be careful with that ;)
A/n- it’s been a hot second since I posted, but I’m back now! Just a little warning that the next part is most likely gonna be extreme smut, so I’ll get that out as soon as I can! Also tomorrow I’ll be uploading a master list so you can find everything in one spot! Love you guys!
Tumblr media
You woke up and stretched out, feeling every muscle in your body loosen up.
“Good morning sleepy head”
You open your eyes slightly to see Damian looking at you. You rubbed your eyes and sat up, stretching more.
“Good morning”
You grabbed your phone and looked at the time, it was a little after nine.
“So, you got any plans today?”
“Not really, why?”
You look over to him and held eye contact for a second. It was clear that he just woke up, but damn he looked good.
“You gonna let me take you on a date?”
You bit your lip, there was clearly tension between the two of you, it was almost too extreme.
“I guess, where are we going?”
He smiled and fixed his long hair.
“I know a couple of hidden gems, what you in the mood for?”
“I haven’t had Italian or Japanese food in a while to be honest, got any places for that?”
“You bet, pick you up at 6?”
“That works”
He looked you up and down, making your face turn redder then before.
This was a little awkward, you weren’t really sure what to say after that.
Luckily Rhea has a insane sense of timing
“What’s up you two?”
You turned towards her and smiled.
“Not much, hey can you drive me back home in a few?”
“Yeah of course, let me know when you’re ready and I’ll get you home”
God bless Rhea.
You got home around noon, which gave you six hours to prepare.
You were nervous as all get out, this was the first time someone had asked you on a date so quickly, it was almost scary.
Damian seemed like a good man though, he was respectful and was chill with everything.
You would see how this date went, then after that you would see how it went.
You went and took a very long shower, doing all the works. Shaving your legs for the dress, exfoliating, hair care, everything.
As you were drying your hair you got a text from Rhea.
‘You’re going on a date with Damian?’
You sighed.
‘Yeah, he asked me this morning’
You watched the little text bubble appear, then disappear.
You just decided to ignore it and finish your hair.
You stood in front of your mirror, debating with two dresses.
One of them was a black off the shoulder dress that fit your form perfectly.
The other one was close to the same, but it was a more colorful dress and was flowy at the bottom.
You decided with the black dress, grabbing a black fur coat and a pair of silver heels. You grabbed some of your other jewelry and decorated yourself with it, feeling all dressed up and pretty.
You heard your phone go off and grabbed it, seeing the text from Damian.
‘On my way cariño, see you in a few’
You felt your face heat up again, surprised from the nickname he had called you.
You were surprised that your makeup wasn’t melting off your face.
You knew that since he was picking you up he would be there in a short amount of time, so you decided to walk outside and wait for him.
You didn’t know he was going to pick you up in a very expensive looking black sports car, you were actually very surprised.
“There you are, I was wondering if you were gonna wait outside or not.”
he walked up and took your arm, helping you get in the car.
“I didn’t expect you to show up with this either, it’s a pleasant surprise.”
He chuckled and closed your door, making his way over to the drivers seat and getting in.
“You look stunning by the way, the dress really fits you.”
You looked over his outfit, he was wearing white ripped jeans and what looked like a very nice Hawaiian shirt.
It was almost like he tried to match you while you tried to match him.
It was funny.
“Thank you, you look pretty good yourself, didn’t know you had colorful clothes.”
He just laughed,
“Only for you Querida”
Your face heated up again, it was extremely clear that him speaking Spanish to you was a heart stopper.
You looked over and saw him smirking.
He knew it too.
He wasn’t lying when he said he knew a hidden gem or two, the place he took you to looked worn down and honestly pretty dirty from the outside.
But to say that their food was outstanding was an understatement.
“So have you lived here your whole life?”
“Nah, I moved here when I was 18”
“That’s still a long time though.”
“Yeah, how is your back tattoo healing up by the way?”
“Its good, I actually really like it, I might expand it soon cause it wasn’t that painful.”
He nodded and looked at your bare shoulder.
“You should let me tattoo you one day, I have a good idea for you.”
“Oh really?”
You bit your lip, watching him scale every part of you.
“Yeah, it would look nice on your collarbone, right here.”
He reached out and ran his hand along your warm skin, trying not to think about it too much.
“Yeah… let me see how quickly I can get you in my books, if you’re okay with that of course.”
He pulled his hand back and you nodded, your shoulder already missing his touch.
“Yeah, that’s fine with me”
The rest of the date was filled with comfortable conversation, just getting to know eachother more.
You were right about him, he was a genuinely funny dude who was laid back.
As you walked the streets with him he had his arm around your shoulder, pulling you close against his broad chest.
It felt so much better when intentional.
“So, you want to go anywhere else?”
“I mean not really, unless you have somewhere?”
“Nope, I’m taking you home?”
You nodded, feeling an aching sensation in your body. You should’ve made him take you somewhere.
Just like before he helped you in the car before helping himself.
The only thing that was different was that this time he reached out and put his hand on your thigh, watching your reaction to make sure you weren’t uncomfortable.
Once again you were surprised your makeup didn’t melt off.
The ride was short though.
Way too short.
You stood in front of your apartment complex, facing him.
“I’ll text you later?”
It was either now or never, someone had to make the move and it was going to be you.
You grabbed his shirt and pulled him down, kissing him softly on the lips. He responded very quickly, placing one hand on the small of your back and the other your waist.
His mouth melted into yours, using his tongue to explore every inch of your mouth.
You didn’t mean to moan, but the way he held onto you and took complete dominance over the situation caused you to.
When you did he pulled back, eyes searching all over your face.
“Stay instead?”
“Cariño, if I stay I might disturb your roommates, grab some clothes and I can take you over to mine, that way we aren’t being questioned or harassed while we have our time.”
You just nodded, not even being able to speak to the taller man.
You never ran and grabbed clothes so fast in your life.

Chapter 6: Mommy Issues
You pressed open the door to your room and peeled off your coat and sat on the bed with your arms crossed. You felt like an absolute child the way you reacted. Austin closed the door when he came in shortly after you. He took off his own coat and looked at you. 
“You have to talk to me,” He said as he stood against the dresser. Which happened to be right across from you.
“There is nothing to talk about.” You stated simply. You ignored all eye contact with him. Too much has happened in the past few hours. He saw you at your breaking point. He helped you undress. You two argued for the first time. 
“There is plenty to talk about. You just have to talk to me.”
“Why should I talk to you?”
“Hm, I don’t know… maybe because we’re friends… we’re fake dating… Hm, I practically know everything about you, besides the obvious.” You finally looked up at him, tears already threatening to fall down your face.
“Because you’ll leave,” you whispered and brought your hands up to your face. Austin pushed himself away from the dresser and made his way over to you. He grabbed your hands and pulled them away from your face. He lifted your chin with his finger, forcing you to look at him. 
“I could never leave you, Y/n. Even when we fell apart, I came when you needed me. No matter what, I will be there for you.” Austin said. You just shook your head not believing him. “Don’t do that. Stop shaking your head.” He grabbed the sides of your face.
“Yes, you will.”
“Stop it. I will not leave. I am here, right by your side.” He whispered and rubbed your face gently. You let out a whimper and closed your eyes. 
Austin sat down next to you and wrapped his arms around you. He pulled you close to his chest and rubbed your back. He didn’t know what you went through, or what you’re even going through. What he did know though… is that you needed him. Whether you wanted to admit that or not.
You melted against his body heat. You pressed your face against his chest, and you snaked your arms around him. You slowly made your way onto his lap and wrapped your legs around his torso. You were much more comfortable now than you were before in the shop. 
Austin pressed his lips to the side of your head and just held you. Today was a rough day for you, and he wanted to bring as much comfort as he could to you. Maybe you should tell him everything… It would be nice to have someone else besides your therapist. Austin was by your side.
You pulled away after some time and rubbed your eyes. You got rid of the tears and all the negative energy. You took in a deep breath and looked at Austin. You two were close… very close. Almost nose to nose at this point. 
“Okay… Okay… I’ll talk.” You whispered and pulled yourself off of you. You couldn’t look him in the eyes. You just couldn't. You didn’t want to see his reaction to how messed up you were. 
“Take your time, there’s no rush. Of course, you don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to.” He told you. You nodded and rubbed your hands against your shirt. He was respecting your boundaries and your privacy. 
“I uh… well… you know I moved to California six years ago. Uh… everything was okay and I was normal. Between that and two years I developed a major depressive disorder. It ruined my life. That’s… that’s when I made up the boyfriend's lie. I didn’t want to leave my place anymore. I just wanted to stay home. I didn’t want to do anything.” You explained to him. Austin nodded to take in the information. He didn’t speak, he didn’t say anything. He gave you the time you needed.
“My therapist said it could be because I felt homesick and I got into this depressive state. I don’t know what to believe. I don’t know how I get it, but I’m doing much better now.” There wasn’t much to tell him, but just getting it off your chest. Telling someone else about your mental issues… It… it felt nice. You didn’t feel alone. 
“I just… I don’t want anyone to have to deal with me. They shouldn’t have to deal with someone who’s broken.”
“That’s why you cried in the bridal shop because you thought no one would love you enough to marry you.” Austin placed together. You nodded your answer and looked down at your feet.  “Y/n.”
You looked up to face Austin. You didn’t know what he was going to say. Hell, you wouldn’t even blame him for leaving right now. “Yeah…?”
“Any guy would be lucky to have you. You are beautiful, you have an amazing personality. You have the best job in the world. Like come on, imagine coming home and learning about why a criminal acts the way they do?” You smiled softly at his words. “I mean come on, Y/n. You are so much better than you let yourself think.”
“Austin-”
“I wasn’t done,” he interrupted you, “you need to open your eyes because you don’t have to go through this alone. I’m back, and I want to help you with this. We’ll take these small steps on this but you have to put effort. We got a deal?”
You let out a sigh and looked at him. “I don’t know. I got this far on my own, I just feel like it’ll be better if I did it by myself.”
“You don’t have to go through this by yourself anymore… I’m here for you.”
“Yeah until the end of this whole fake shitshow.”
“We got two months, and then we got when we get back. I lost ya once, I ain’t leaving again.” He smiled softly as he caressed your cheek. You heard the doorknob to your room rattling and looked at the door confused.
“Who locked this door!?” You heard your mother exclaimed. Your eyes widened as you looked quickly at Austin.
“You locked the door!?” You whisper yelled at him.
“Yeah?” He looked at you confused. 
“My mom has a very strict no-locked-door policy!” You explained and rushed over to the door. Austin was still confused and yet, he was putting together the pieces. Something even you couldn’t do yet. 
“Open this door right now!” Your mom said in a loud voice. You sucked in a breath and opened the door.
“Sorry Mom, Austin didn’t know about the policy.” You smiled softly. She held her hands on her hips and looked at you disappointed. She may be an amazing mom, but she had her moments where all you wanted to do was die.
“Mhm, your sister told me about your whole mishap today. What happened?” She asked, but it was more or less something you had to answer. 
“I rather not talk about it, Mom,” you answered her simply. She raised her eyebrow at you, and you knew that wasn’t the answer she wanted. 
“You will talk about it because Mia is still without a wedding dress.” She stated the obvious. Not to mention, the guys still need their suits altered. Dear lord if your mother found out it was all your fault. 
“Yeah, because she didn’t find the one. It isn’t the end of the world. We are going tomorrow to a new loca-” Before you could finish your sentence, your mother decided to interrupt you.
“No no no, she told me you were the one with a wedding dress on.” 
“Yeah, because she wanted a break and she thought seeing one on me would refresh her mind-”
“No no no, you are not using that excuse. You are secretly getting married, aren’t you? You two are engaged and plan to get married while on this little trip-”
“Mrs. Y/l/n, I’m sorry to interrupt, but clearly you haven’t noticed… But Y/n has had a rough day and she doesn’t need you putting her down right now. We appreciate you letting us stay here, but if need be, we will find a hotel.” Austin stepped into the conversation. You looked over at him and smiled softly. 
“I-” Your mother looked like she was about to blow. Though, she wasn’t one to burst out on her guests. 
“If this happens again we’re gonna stay at a hotel.” Your mother nodded and backed away.
“Keep the door unlocked.”
“We will lock it if we like,” Austin said and closed the door. You looked at him shocked. He had the courage to face your mom. Something that you’ve never had. You smiled at him and leaned up on your tippy toes. You grabbed his face and kissed him. Austin’s hands found your hips and kissed back.
“Thank you,” You whispered against his lips before kissing him once again. You don’t know what has gotten into you, or even this little fake relationship. But you two were surely moving forward.

Star Child Part 10
We finally get the last two of the nuggets introduced in the story and some pretty heavy backstory for Steve. It ends in a weird place because I didn’t know how to end this chapter and the next part is fairly long. 
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9
***
A couple of beefy looking guys were trying muscle their way through to get to the stage. One of the roadies stood up. He was wiry thin with dark hair and even darker eyes. The two men towered over him, but his expression was bland, almost bored as he crossed his arms in from on his chest.
“Oi!” he sneered. “Where the fuck do you think you’re going?”
“We’re security for the venue,” the one on the right said, flashing his badge.
“Did Juan send you?” the roadie asked.
The second man leaned forward to read the roadie’s shirt. “Well, Mike, there isn’t a Juan working here. You can’t fool us.”
Mike smirked and jerked his thumb behind him to a large Latino man with arms like barrels and a chest like a tank.
“That’s Juan,” he said as if he was talking to an infant. “And he’s the one that manages the security with the venue.”
The two guys looked at each other and gulped.
“Now get the fuck out of here,” Mike said with a wave of his hand, “Before I have Juan break your legs.”
The two men scrambled away, grabbing and tripping over each other as they booked it for the door.
“Mike, Mike!” Juan said, coming up to him with his cell phone. “Kitten manuls! Aren’t they so cute!”
Mike peered at the phone and cooed. “They are so fluffy.”  
Juan wandered off to show the other roadies the picture as Mike shook his head. He pulled out his phone and hunted down the picture Juan showed him. Then he sent it to his boyfriend.
-Holy crap! They’re even cuter as kittens!
Mike grinned and typed out his reply.
-Ikr? You find out if you got the job?
Mike chewed on his lip nervously as he watching the ellipsis appear and disappear a few times before he got a response.
-I did But there’s some trouble with the studio and it might end up being an indie album. And if that happens...
Mike swore and sat down hard on an amp. He ran his fingers through his hair a few times before he wrote back.  
-Then you won’t get paid to do the album art. Shit. I told you working with that asshole was a mistake.
-We’ve been over this. If I want people to see my regular work, I need a big job. And if that means doing the album cover art for Steve Harrington, babe. Then I’m going to do it.
-Wills...
Mike wanted to just call him, but he was supposed to be working and he didn’t want to get into any more trouble. It had been a couple of minutes before Will replied.
-I’ll call you after the show. Okay?
Mike sighed.
-Yeah. I can’t wait to hear all about it I mean it okay?
-Love you.
Mike looked around and then pressed his lips to his phone.
-Love you, too.
Fuck Henry Creel. Fuck his goons. And fuck Steve Harrington.

Steve was looking at the offers he had been holding on to for the last six months. Which was when he started looking for a new label. In hindsight that was probably what prompted his label to be nasty, if he was honest.
But he didn’t care. He had mouths to feed and techs to pay. He wasn’t going to let his current label continue to pigeonhole him. He was also meeting with his PR firm today to release a statement about his sexuality before his label could weaponize it against him.
They were going to draw up statements for if they got it out first, the label, or some news outlet.
Steve glanced at his watch and Robin should be arriving with the new PR rep any minute now. And as sure as if his thoughts summoned them, there was the sound of his doorbell. He jogged out to the front door and opened it.
He gave them his most sincere smile. “Hello there, ladies.”
Robin giggled and her companion merely gave a serene smile. He led them into his office and offered them drinks.
“I’ve got bottled water, Coke, lemon-aid...” he said. “What can I get you?”
“A bottled water for me,” Robin said with her goofy smile.
“And for me as well,” the PR rep said.
“Two bottled waters coming right up,” Steve replied with a grin. He was gone and back in flash with the two bottles. He handed each of the women a bottle and grabbed the offers from his desk.
“You wanted to look over the offers, yeah?” he asked Robin as he held out the folder to her.
She made grabby hands at it and clutched it to her chest. She loved going over contracts and looking for loopholes to exploit. She turned in her chair, until her legs were over one arm and greedily began to read them.
The rep looked over at her with a raised eyebrow. “Will she be okay?”
Steve waved it off. “Yeah, she’ll be fine. She’s more here for you anyway. I know I can come off as...”
“Intense,” Robin finished.
Steve snapped his fingers. “Yes! Exactly. You’re Jane Hopper, yes?”
She nodded. “It’s a small world, but I’m from Indiana as well.”
Steve grinned. “Fantastic. Nothing like having someone who understands that Indiana is sooo far from California, not only geographically, but culturally, too.”
She smiled back. “Yes, my bosses feel the same, which is why they sent me.”
“So what have you got for me?” he asked.
She started going over the different options for each scenario before he found an approach that he liked for all three.
“Fantastic,” Jane said. “Now, I’ve read the file from my bosses but I would like to hear it from you, if you don’t mind.”
Steve and Robin shared a glance and then Robin nodded.
Steve sighed. “Right, when I was seventeen my dad found out I was bisexual when he caught a boy half naked in my room the night of my farewell party.”
Jane raised an eyebrow. “I’m guessing that didn’t go well?”
Steve barked out a bitter laugh. “Hell no. He threw the boy out and managed to suppress every video ever of the boy and me together.”
Jane pressed her lips together. “I see. Do you know if he has copies of these videos?”
Steve shrugged. “No idea, if I’m honest. But probably. You’ll want to know, the other boy is famous now, too.”
“Any of your former bandmates?” Jane asked.
Steve shook his head and wrote the name down on a piece of paper. He handed it to her. “You’ll probably want to get in contact with his PR firm to do damage control if it comes out.”
She read the paper and quietly slipped in it into her purse. “I believe he is one of ours.”
Steve nodded. “Yeah. He doesn’t remember it. So it may come as a shock to him.”
“You should tell him first,” Jane said gently, but firmly. “I know it’s hard. And a very bad memory for you. But you need to get out ahead of this before the shit hits the fan and it will. Soon. Sooner then you think.”
Steve sighed. “I will.”
Jane nodded and then got up to shake his hand. “This will be absolute hell for you for the next few weeks, but we’ll do everything in our power to minimize whatever we can. Okay?”
Steve let out a shuddering breath. “I worry he’ll hate me afterwards.”
Jane’s expression softened. “Then he was never worth it to begin with.” She turned to Robin.
“You’ll need to be his rock in this,” Jane warned her. “You cannot be the one freaking out. Do you understand? If you think you can’t be that person, find someone who can.”
Robin sputtered angrily.
“I’m not saying this be rude or to devalue your friendship,” Jane said sternly. “But what he’s about to go through will be actual, honest to God hell. Do. You. Understand?”
Robin nodded, scrambling to sit properly in there chair like a scolded child.
Jane looked between them and nodded back. She left them sitting there in shock.
*
They were in Denver the next night and Croup and Vandemar were back at again.
Mike rolled his eyes as he spotted them trying to get past one of the other roadies, a badass chick named Olivia. She was tiny but fierce. As he neared her he heard her telling them off.
“Get the fuck out of here,” she snarled at them. “Juan stayed in Santa Fe because his wife went into labor there.”
The two men looked at each other and winced dramatically. Mike sighed and Nancy said he was dramatic. He stepped up behind Olivia and folded his arms.
“Well if it isn’t the same jackasses that tried to get on stage last night...” Mike said with a grin. “Is your boss stupid or does he only have two minions to do his bidding?”
The two men looked at each other and just slowly turned away, trying to walk away all, nonchalant.
Olivia turned to Mike with a raised eyebrow. “They really tried a second time?”
Mike smirked. “Dumber than a box of rocks.” He shook his head and went back to work.

⚠️ - 100 days
Charlie Slimecicle x f!reader
Chapter 1
Tw: Violence, gore, language
Based on the film by Slimecicle (yippee!!)
┌── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──┐
It had been around 6 days since it had started. 6 exhausting days of travelling, scavenging and fighting. You were too scared to rest, let alone had the time for it.
You had stupidly decided to go into the city today, figuring there would be a good amount of supplies hidden away somewhere. But now you were trapped on the top floor of a random grey building as zombies flooded the floor beneath you.
Your back leaning against the cold wall, head in your knees. The sound of the zombies below fill your ears as you try and block them out.
They couldn’t reach you, the ladder was blocked with a trap door. But still you couldn’t shake the anxiety you felt as the banged on the wood.
It had been 4 days since the last sight of a human being. Your friend being torn from your grasp as she screams for help plays over and over in your mind; knowing that it’s your fault she wasn’t saved.
Soon the sound of the zombies and your own thoughts were interrupted by a panicked voice.
“OH!!! Well would you look at that”
You couldn’t see the owner of the voice (a man??) but you could hear the sound of a sword piercing flesh, as the sound of the zombies slowly quietened, but wasn’t silenced.
“TOP FLOOR’S ALWAYS THE SAFEST” the panicked voice says again as he realised that he was being overrun.
The sound of the trap door being opened and heavy panting caused you to look up in a fright. The man not realising you were there as he climbed through the floor with his back facing you.
He wheezed as he put his hands on his knees, attempting to catch his breath.
You immediately became aware of the weapons he had on him, becoming extra cautious incase he used them against you.
Still panting heavily he put his hands on his hips and stood up straight, slowly turning around to analyse the room he had climbed into.
“OH, shit”, he exclaimed when he turned around and saw you, your pocket knife now drawn and pointed straight towards him.
Out of reflex he reached for him sword that was attached to his belt, pointing it towards you as well.
“Who are you?” you questioned the brown haired man. Your voice raspy from having not talked in days and from the lack of water.
“Who are you?” he questioned back, sword reflecting in the sun.
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking that, you just appeared out of nowhere!”
His gaze hardened at the attitude you gave him.
“Just tell me your name, and I’ll tell you mine, okay? That’s fair considering I saved your life. Those zombies were almost breaking up here man.”
Copying his gaze you pursed your lips, deciding if you should tell him who you are. What if he’s a threat?
“Y/N. My name’s Y/N” you admitted with a sigh, not breaking eye contact with the man in front of you.
“Nice to meet you Y/N. I’m Charlie.”
He lowered his sword slightly, now pointing it more towards your legs than your body.
“This your… base or something” He asked as he broke eye contact, looking around the room. “Not much here at all.”
“No, it’s not. I was chased by them. I didn’t even know they could climb ladders until now. Luckily I was quick enough to close the trap door before any of them could get up.”
Your eyes stayed on the man’s face as he turned his attention back to you
“You have a base?” He tilted his head.
“Well… Not exactly”
“So you move around a lot then?”
“Why are you asking so many questions?” Your head titled the same as his.
“I don’t know… You’re the first person I’ve come across since this all started.”
You moved your knife down slightly, lowering your guard. If he would have wanted you dead he would have done it by now.
“Really? Is there no one else around here?”
“Not that I’ve see no. Apart from you obviously. Y’know, you’re pretty lucky I came around when I did. Another few minutes and you would have been zombie lunch.”
He bounced up and down on the balls of his feet slightly, his sword now at his side.
“I could’ve defended my self you know”
Charlie clicks his tongue.
“Ehh… I don’t think so. I couldn’t take them all there were that many down there. Which is why you should be thanking me.”
His voice got more enthusiastic the more he talked to you, seeming proud of himself.
“Yeah, yeah. Thanks I guess.” you replied with a hint of sarcasm he seemed to not pick up on.
He smiled lazily to himself, still shifting on his feet. It was silent for a moment, the only sound filling the room were the zombies from the floor below and outside.
“I think we should go take care of them…” He looked up at you as he scratched the back of his neck.
“Wait, you’re not bit, are you?” You asked him, suddenly becoming cautious again.
“No, no I’m not. Nearly was a couple times but… I’m not no.”
“Okay good, I’m not either. I swear if you go all zombie on me I will kill you” You glared at him, bringing the knife back up and pointing it in his direction to prove your point.
“I don’t doubt that, jeez” He replied, fixing his pastel green shirt out of nerves.
“Good.”
You finally stood on your feet, knife now back down at your side as you turn your back to him to pick up your back pack.
“You found any supplies?” He asks curiously.
“No, whole fucking place is empty.”
“Yeah I couldn’t find much stuff either. Must’ve already been raided.”
“Shame.” You replied dryly as you walked towards him and the trap door.
“Okay, so, game plan,” he started and you turned your gaze to him. “You take the right, and I’ll take the left. I don’t think there’s that many there, but just in case.”
“Cool”
He nodded to himself in re assurance and took a deep breath before opening the trap door. The groans of zombies and reek of rotting flesh immediately filling the room.
“I’ll go down first, you follow after me” Charlie instructed with his eyes glued on the ladder.
You didn’t respond verbally, only nodding at him even though he didn’t see it.
He jumped down suddenly, and you were quick to follow, immediately turning to the right and facing 3 zombies.
You swung your knife straight towards the closest one’s head, the blood splashing back and hitting you on the cheek.
You took the other two out in the same way, knowing it was easier to go for the head.
When you had taken them out you turned back around the see Charlie handling the last one. His sword came crashing through it’s skull with a force, making it drop immediately.
He let out a heavy sigh and he slowly turned to face you again. Blood covered the right side of his face, but he seemed unbothered by it.
“Well, I’m tired now. Suns almost set so it’s probably a good idea for me to head back to my base.”
“Yeah probably.” You responded dryly again, only thing on your mind being how you would probably have to set up camp on the top floor and fight off zombies the whole night.
“You should come back with me. I just got done building my base and you look like you need to rest.”
You looked up at him in shock.
“Really? You’re just going to let some random girl into your base. I could be a threat you know”, you exclaimed with folded arms.
“Yeah but, you’re not going to try anything. I know that. And if you do just know I’m so much more prepared than you, you’d be giving yourself a death wish.
He threatened as he attached his blood covered sword back onto his belt.
“Yeah I guess. Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Mhm, I don’t mind. Plus it’ll be nice to not be lonely. We can sleep in shifts so that way we’re protected and can rest.”
Charlie began walking towards the stairs out of the building, expecting you to follow him.
“C’mon Y/N. It’s gonna be dark before we get there, so I suggest moving those legs of yours.” He called out as he disappeared to the floor below.
└── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──┘
A/N: I HAVEN’T WRITTEN IN OVER A YEAR!!! YAY!!
