Dangerous Games - II
✮ Pairing: Aonung x Tayrangi/Omotikaya fem reader ✮ Tags: Reader POV, oral sex (m and f recieving), slight voyeurism if you squint, banter, fluff, friends w benefits ✮ Read Part 1 here Note: this (backstory and character dynamic) is heavily based of my wattpad fanfiction "Dangerous Game", it's just a little more mature than I would post on my WP so I'm doing a Aonung x reader part now instead of the Aonung x OC in the fanfiction ˙ᵕ˙
Tumblr media
So maybe things didn't go exactly to plan - not that there had ever been a plan in place.
But when you and Aonung returned back to the village, the others hardly failed to notice the marks you'd left all over each other.
Neteyam had been quick to notice the nips and hickeys along your neck, and Lo'ak's eyes nearly bulged out of his head when he saw the scratches you'd marked along Aonung's back.
The two Sully boys had instantly pulled Aonung aside. By their gleaming eyes and slight frowns, you could tell they were torn between their obvious disbelief that Aonung managed to have sex with you and their brother-like protectiveness of you (which was completely unnecessary as you outranked them both put together).
Kiri and Tsireya had been raising their brows at you, which you ignored after sharing the whole story with them. Tsireya had been slightly disgusted with her brother yet amused with your easy control of him, whilst Kiri had just listened intently with an incredulous grin on her face.
Unfortunately, in the moment where you and Aonung made that bet and engaged in certain activities in that soft forest clearing, you hadn't though about the longer term consequences.
One of them was Aonung himself. He couldn't stop shooting you strange glances despite your insistence that it meant nothing.
You had thought that finally giving him a taste would satiate his inexplicable fixation with you, but if anything, he was just seems to want you more.
You sigh as you walk out of your hut, forgetting the crucial fact that your kelku was next to the one the Metkayina were staying in.
You're striding past without your weapons when you hear a voice call your name from inside.
Tsireya is smiling at you from the entrance, nestled comfortably against Lo'ak. You can spot Kiri and Rotxo by the fire, chatting with Neteyam.
Not spotting a certain someone, you follow Tsireya's welcoming wave and duck into the kelku.
Yet upon entering, you realise you made a mistake in assuming Aonung wasn't there, because your foot catches on a thick turquoise tail, and you find yourself promptly falling into someone's lap.
Stupid ass skxawng, leaving his tail lying wherever for people to trip over. Why does he just have to be so stupidly massive.
You grumble a little as you push yourself up, finding Aonung's face suddenly inches from yours, an amused little smirk on his face.
"Shut up and get off me fish lips," you snap, gripping his shoulders to push yourself out of his lap.
"You were the one that sat on me," he points out, before he cuts himself off.
You don't miss the way his eyes instantly travel over him as you sit up and push yourself away, but before you can snap at him that your eyes actually aren't on your tits, Tsireya speaks up.
"You look beautiful," she gasps, smiling at you. "Where are you going?"
"There's a party tonight," you say, frowning at Lo'ak.
"Oh yeah," he says, shaking his head slightly. "I forgot about that- that's why we came here, to invite you!"
Immediately, your eyes widen, but Kiri's grabbing Rotxo's arm and begging him to come.
Which only means-
"You're coming too bro, right?" Neteyam asks Aonung.
Aonung clears his throat and peels his gaze away from you. You hadn't even noticed him staring- you'd gotten so accustomed to his bright blue eyes on you.
"Yeah," Aonung shrugs, and Neteyam grins.
"We had some good times in the reef- now it's our time to show you a good time in the forest."
"Here's your chance," I whisper to Aonung, so only he can hear.
"Chance to what?"
"To fuck around with some villagers and leave me alone," I hiss, grinning at him.
"I think you like having me around sweetheart," Aonung whispers back, not in the least deterred by the words.
"And what gives you that impression? My overwhelming love and affection for you?" you taunt.
"That and the way you were moaning in my ear the other night," he grins, teeth glinting sharply, and you feel the places where those very fangs lightly sunk into your skin prickle under his bright blue gaze. "Oh yes, yes, yes-"
"Shut your stupid mouth," you snap, quickly checking that the others couldn't hear your whispered, furious conversation.
"I thought you liked my stupid mouth," Aonung grins, before you whip his leg hard with your tail. "Ow."
The others turn to see him rubbing his leg and wrinkling his nose at you.
"Sorry, accident," you say, rolling your eyes.
"Yeah well, we should go before you murder Aonung," Kiri smiles, hauling you up and away from the stupid skxawng. 
You allow yourself to be led away by Kiri, Rotxo on her other side, and the others trailing behind you as you walk together towards the party.
You can hear Tsireya giggling at Lo'ak's stupid jokes, and Neteyam and Aonung are having a low, quiet conversation, though you can feel eyes burning on you.
You'd bet anything they were a very familiar ocean-blue set of eyes with that strange, unreadable expression.
Thankfully, you get a distraction as soon as you arrive at the party - alcohol.
It's been a long fucking week, what with training Aonung and scolding Aonung and avoiding Aonung and the other business with Aonung, and this is a time where you can just get away from fucking Aonung.
It's so stupid, the way he just always seems to be there, and when he isn't physically, it's just imprinted in your mind.
You don't love him - you don't even like Aonung - but there's just something about him that just remains with you wherever you go.
It's something about his faint sea-breeze scent lingering after he's been in the forest for weeks, something about the way his large blue eyes glitter no matter if they're illuminated by sunlight filtering through the foliage or the forest bioluminescence.
You grunt, downing a sweet, very strong drink of some unfamiliar sort.
You can still almost feel the ghost of his hands all over you, feel your fading nips and hickeys prickle when he's near, hear the faint groans and curses he left, messy and hot, along your neck as your back arched against his muscular chest.
Fuck, this isn't good.
The alcohol isn't drowning away these constant thoughts of Aonung.
Never once have you ever spared two flying fucks for a guy after you fucked.
It's not like you like Aonung, but you've hardly ever felt this level of... awareness... with any other guy before.
Each encounter has been the same, a quick fuck then you leave before things can get awkward, or worse, intimate.
So okay, maybe seeing your whole clan get murdered and destroyed by sky people at a young age could be traumatising, maybe even give you a few silly little intimacy issues, but your total aversion for intimate affection had always been uncomplicated.
You didn't need people to protect or defend you, you didn't need someone to take care of you.
Not once had you ever wished to stay and be cleaned up and praised and loved after sex; sex was just meaningless escape and occasional enjoyment.
These repeated thoughts of Aonung didn't mean anything. Nothing at all.
The next drink is even stronger, a whole coconut full of some shiny sapphire liquid that tastes faintly of lime, and you sloppily down it before swiping away the droplets.
Aonung didn't matter- it doesn't matter that you can feel his eyes on you from across the party.
But you only notice the burn of those ocean-blue eyes when it suddenly disappears.
You frown, turning to where you last saw Aonung, to find him speaking to some other girls.
Ha. Ninat was, simply put, a slut. She was named after her obviously egocentric mother, who Neytiri had once told you had put quite a few moves onto Jake.
Now Ninat 2.0, not exactly improved, was giggling obnoxiously at Aonung, twirling her long dark hair and batting her long lashes at her.
You just scoff and turn away, sipping another coconut. You don't like Aonung, but you know he can do better than that.
"Quite a step down, don't you think," a voice whispers in your ear, before you realise Neteyam's standing beside you.
"What do you mean?" you ask, frowning drunkenly at your friend. 
"Come off it," Neteyam grins, rolling his eyes. "It couldn't be more obvious you fucked Aonung, he's even more pussy whipped than before."
"He's not pussy whipped," you mumble. "He's just-"
"Totally obsessed with you and everything you do and everything that has to do with you?" Neteyam suggests.
"Sure," you shrug, too hazy to argue with him as you down another drink.
"But I mean, who isn't," Neteyam grins. "All the other guys in the clan are furious - they know how picky you are about lovers and the fact you chose an outsi-"
"Gross Tey," you swat at him. "They aren't my lovers, I'm just having fun. I'm still young, just let me live, mighty warrior."
He laughs, but lightly holds your arm to steady you.
"Look, Khalo has been glaring at Aonung this whole party. Moy'ka is working up the courage to come talk to you, and those five guys over there are literally fighting over who gets to shoot their shot."
"What's your point," you frown. 
"My point is that you are literally the most desired girl in the clan, and it speaks volumes that you're fucking a guy that has been here for weeks when every other guy has been bending backwards to get you to look at them their whole lives," Neteyam says sternly.
"I'm not fucking Aonung," is all you reply with. "It was a one-time thing, and now I'm ready to move on and forget about it."
"He won't."
"Come on Tey," you grumble. "I heard a million stories about Aonung when you were in the reef, he was fucking girls left and right and he never got hung up on anyone. Why would he be so obsessed with me?"
"Because you aren't falling at his feet," Neteyam points out. "Look, Ninat is practically trying to suck his dick already, and he couldn't give two fucks. You have him hooked, and I know you're intrigued by him too."
"You mean annoyed," you grumble.
"No I mean intrigued," Neteyam says sternly. "I mean, why else would you be avoiding him, then having all these weird whispered conversations with him when you think we don't notice, then taking him so far away to train?"
"I take him far away so no one can hear his screams of pain," you grin, drunkenly cackling a little.
"You're fucking demented," Neteyam says fondly, tucking your face back behind your ears.
"True," you shrug carelessly feeling eyes snag back onto you.
You don't need to sense that it's Aonung looking, but you turn to meet his gaze anyway.
He's shameless about his staring, pupils tiny slits in large blue eyes like an ocean trench, before a voice interrupts you.
"Hey," Moy'ka says nervously, holding a small wrapped leaf of meat. "I brought this for you."
"What is it?"
"Yerik meat," he says awkwardly. "From my hunt. I saw you hunting one a few days ago with um... with..."
He trails off nervously, and you follow his gaze to where Aonung stands.
Aonung looks normal, half-listening to Ninat chatter on about some stupid shit, but you can see his tail flicking agitatedly behind him, and you can sense the hard coldness of his gaze from here, snagged right on your face.
You have a moments hesitation before you turn back, ignoring Aonung and smiling at Moy'ka.
"So I hunted it for you," Moy'ka says nervously.
How cute, going to the trouble of hunting a hexapede and bringing you a meal. It's not much to impress the best hunter and warrior in the clan, but you accept it graciously, and he looks so relieved and jittery that you can't help smiling.
This is another strange idea that the men in the clan have, bringing you gifts from their hunts as tokens for your "affection". It never seems to occur to them that you could easily hunt for yourself, could easily murder them too, but it seems to be some pathological need for you to accept their silly little gifts.
Moy'ka seems to be mumbling about something or another, about hunting and archery, and you find yourself thinking more about his large hands then the words he's speaking.
"Really?" you sigh, struggling to pretend you aren't bored out of your fucking mind.
"Well," Moy'ka says, before looking nervously down at you. "We could discuss it in a more private area."
At this, your ears prick up.
You're drunk and need a distraction and to be frank, you're horny.
So you grin agreeably up at Moy'ka, and follow him away from the party.
It's a little shy and messy, your head banging uncomfortably against the back of the tree you're propped against as Moy'ka clumsily holds you up.
You've barely been at this for more than a few minutes, which is undoubtedly long enough for you to realise that your standards really have slipped.
First Aonung and now this, bumbling, clumsy fucking with this endearingly nervous but not at all worthwhile guy, who's grunting - like a hog - his praises of your tightness and sweetness and beauty and other stupid fucking bullshit.
This is what you get for trying to be nice, you think. Give a sweet nervous guy a chance opposed to the cocky stupid ones, and end up with steadier rhythm of your head slamming into the tree than his thrusts.
You'd never ever fucking admit it, but Moy'ka feels like a fucking twig compared to Aonung.
You can tell Moy'ka is getting close - a good fucking thing so this can be over and you can go sleep - and he looks up at you.
"Can I-"
"Yes, yes fine," you wince, reaching up to clutch the branches in an unsuccessful effort to stop your head knocking.
He comes undone in an embarrassingly quick, loud groan, shaking with the orgasm and the effort of holding you up and against the tree.
When he finally pulls out, you wince and steady yourself on the ground, feeling extremely disgruntled and unsatisfied.
The one good thing about this interaction was that you smartly chose to go near the river, so you quickly slide away from Moy'ka.
It's only when you turn back, you spot the figure in the shadows of the trees. There's no mistaking that massive outline, or the distinctly paler, more greenish tint of their skin. 
But it's the large blue eyes, seemingly gleaming out of the darkness with cold amusement that makes you shiver slightly. You duck underwater, knowing he saw you notice him, before resurfacing.
"Are you alright?" Moy'ka asks.
"Yes," you say, trying not to sound bitter about your overwhelming lack of pleasure. "You should be going."
"Are you sure?" he asks, looking slightly hurt. 
"Yes," you say, eyes travelling over Moy'ka's shoulder to Aonung again.
Moy'ka also looks, and completely freezes when he sees Aonung.
"So I'm fine," you say pointedly, waiting for him to leave.
"Are you um..." Moy'ka says nervously, his gaze constantly flicking between you and Aonung. "Are you alri-"
"Yes yes I'm fine," you grumble, resisting the temptation to roll your eyes.
Finally, he slides up and tentatively steps away.
He gives Aonung a wide berth, cautiously avoiding his gaze as he scrambles away, and Aonung steps forward.
"What, skxawng," you grumble, not bothering to look at Aonung as you slide out of the river.
"Nothing."
You glare at him, able to sense the waves of his amusement from miles away.
"Mhm, and how long were you standing there?" you ask suspiciously. "Watching him fuck me-"
"Is that what that was?" Aonung scoffs. "It looked more like he was trying to hammer your head into that tree."
"Perv," you scowl. "Don't you have better things to do then stalking me?"
"Not really."
"So you were stalking me then?"
"I was going for a walk," Aonung says elusively, and your eyes narrow. "Then I heard him grunting like a fucking pig. Oh, you're so fucking tight- uhg, uhghhhhhh-"
"Didn't sound that different to you," you snap, feeling your face grow hotter.
Aonung raises an eyebrow and straightens up, so he's a good head and a half taller now.
"At least you had a good time with me," he grins.
"You are such a dick," you snap, glowering at him.
"And you have terrible fucking taste. Besides me, obviously."
"That was just one thing," you say hotly, "It wasn't that bad-"
"Not that bad," Aonung repeats incredulously. "That wasn't bad?"
"Well-"
"He was literally about to send you through that fucking tree," Aonung scoffs. "You looked so uncomfortable, I thought I'd have to come rescue-"
"I don't need your rescuing," you hiss.
"No, I think you need a good fuck," Aonung grins. "Because if that 'wasn't bad' then someone's royally fucking up with you, princess."
"Well I tried, didn't I," you hiss. "So I didn't get a good fuck, I admit it. Can you fuck off now?"
Aonung just scoffs.
"Is that really what you want?"
"What else would I want," you snap. "The great pleasure of your delightful company?"
"Have you had a good fuck?" Aonung asks instead, ignoring your sarcastic words.
"Yes."
"Besides with me," Aonung says.
You turn to glower at him, but instead of finding the expected cocky smirk on his face, you find him looking genuinely interested.
Ugh, why does he have to be so fucking invested? Why is he actually fucking caring?
"What does that matter?" you grumble.
Aonung blinks, looking sincerely engrossed.
"You haven't?" he whispers.
"I have," you grumble. "I just... I don't have very high expectations when it comes to guys."
"Oh paksalin-"
"Don't call me that," you snap at the name, which seems taunting and cold in this conversation. "I'm tired and unsatisfied so-"
Aonung settles back slightly, leaning against the same tree you had just been fucked against, if you could even call it that.
You're disgruntled to see that because of his stupid height, his head is resting against the same spot yours had repeatedly been knocked against.
"I wouldn't leave you unsatisfied," Aonung says coolly.
It takes you a moment to process his words before you snap up and stare incredulously at him.
"Really?" you say dryly, trying not to let your emotions get the better of you. 
What is he on about now? Is he saying what you think he's saying? Aonung nods simply.
"I think you know I wouldn't," Aonung whispers, tilting his head a little so he's looking down at you.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
But also you're tired and impatient and still annoyingly unsatisfied, so fuck it.
"Get to the point," you snap. "Or get lost."
Aonung doesn't waste any time, pushing himself off the tree and striding towards you. It seems like he only took a single step, but suddenly he's a foot apart and you're having to tilt your head to look up at him.
"Do you want me to help you?"
His question tumbles in front of you, seemingly trapped in the little space between your body and his.
He's a smug little skxawng. He knows what the answer is, but he also knows how fucking impossible it is for you to say the answer.
"Yes or no?"
You growl under your breath, growing more irritated by the minute, but the air between you is thick and charged with tension and you can feel the anticipation growing inside you.
It's pretty fucking obvious where this is headed, but it's just so... infuriating.
Infuriating that what you want happens to be offered by the most annoying dick you've ever known in your life.
"Fine," you grumble under your breath.
"What was that princess?" he asks, fangs glinting in his familiar grin.
Not bothering to speak at all, you just crash your lips onto his and snake your hands around his neck.
There's no need for the kiss, and both of you know it. The deal was for sex and sex alone, pleasure alone, and you know what it means that you kissed him.
You kissed him.
You can feel his heartbeat picking up against your chest as he shifts, one of his hands on your waist and holding you up so your faces are closer, the other tangling in your long hair.
He smells good, like amber and sea-salt, and his lips are so soft and warm that you nearly forget about everything else and get lost in the kiss.
Then it deepens further and everything is hot and warm and tangling, his hand sliding lower, nearly at my ass.
It hardly ever occured to you how little you've kissed in your lifetime- probably less than you've fucked, but now here you are, pressing yourself as close as you can to this infuriating, uselessly hot skxawng.
If you weren't so fucking horny then yes, maybe you would have paused to think, to remember your previous distaste for him, your principal for not giving in to his amused and persistent seduction.
But you are so fucking so you just kiss him harder as one of his hands cups your jaw, the other clasping around the back of your neck and tilting your head farther up to meet him.
Your height difference seems ridiculous, and after a few moments he smiles against your mouth.
"Up," he whisper, hands travelling down.
He catches you as your legs wrap tightly around his waist, arms snaking around his neck to steady yourself.
His hands automatically move to hold you in place, one on your back and waist, the other arm propped under your ass, the hand gripping your thigh.
The kiss is messy and airless and hardly graceful, but you wouldn't have it any other fucking way.
You're all greedy and breathless, desperate for anything, and the feeling of his soft lips against your own, his fangs lightly sinking into your lip before his tongue lightly licks away the small pearls of blood just... does something.
You can already feel him growing harder below you - you think he might have already been hard before you even noticed him, watching you get clumsily fucked against that tree.
Now your head is spinning slightly, and you feel more hungry than ever.
It's infuriating, but you know out of most of the clan, this stupid outsider with his massive body and pretty paler skin is probably the best person to be doing this with.
The knowledge - knowledge you'd never speak aloud - that Aonung is the best you've ever had by a long fucking shot doesn't exactly piss you off in the way you think it would.
It isn't some aggravating, world-shattering fact, because you simply know that Aonung would be more than happy to be in this position again, offering you more pleasure because he cockily knows he can give it.
And with that, you're suddenly being pushed against the tree again, but it's different.
His hands are easily holding you up, arms cushioning under you so you aren't knocked against the hard wood. You hadn't even noticed him slide your loincloth away, but suddenly your legs are tossed over his shoulders and he's gazing up at you. 
It's that same fucking look. Of the smitten, puppy-dog variety, but also with a note of hunger and lust that makes you clench around nothing.
You just look back, and there's a few moments where you just stare at each other, both of you hungry and silent, then before you know it he's dived between your legs.
It's too risky to grip his braids as you had last time - you don't want to fall down even though you know Aonung wouldn't let you drop - but you need something to hold anyway. Your hands fly to the branches above to steady yourself, nails digging shamelessly into the bark.
"Fuck," you growl under your breath as he flicks and kisses and sucks, pressing his tongue against and in you as you throw your head back against the trunk.
It isn't just his admittedly amazing talent for giving head that is just so overwhelming- it has something to do with the way he's so effortlessly holding you up, something to do with the little growls and hums he lets out against you, something to do with the realisation he's not holding himself back.
Last time, even though he had been trying to impress you, he had still restrained himself somewhat.
But now he knows your hungry, and he could probably get away with doing anything.
His hands are holding so tight to your thighs you can already see the little purple blooms of a bruise under his fingers, and he's making sure to sink his fangs lightly into your inner thighs every now and again.
The tiny pearls of scarlet blood are smearing with slick and spit all over the lower half of his face, but he's just humming delightedly against you, his tail swinging happily behind him and a dopey, self-satisfied grin on his face.
Your legs begin to shake around his head, eyes rolling all the way back as you moan louder and claw at the branch you're desperately clutching. 
"I- I'm fucking close," you manage to choke out between loud moans, and Aonung growls against you, not even bothering to look up. "Don't you want to-"
Aonung pulls away, looking distinctly disgruntled that you're talking to him and making him stop his relentless attack on your cunt.
"Go ahead, I'm planning on satisfying you much more than once princess," he says off-handedly, before diving back down with more fervour than ever.
The words you were going to say die in your throat as you gasp loudly, and before you know it, you're tumbling over that edge he had you teetering on.
He licked your essence greedily, growling with every swallow as though he was starved. But he didn't stop, continuing to lick and suck with reckless abandon, grinning at your increasingly whiny moans.
"Okay, okay," you laugh shakily, pushing lightly at his head. "I got-"
"Just one more," he mumbles against you.
You're about to protest, to tell him he doesn't need to, when he gives you large, pleading eyes and you realise this isn't just about you.
He's sincerely enjoying himself - your taste, your moans, your heels digging into his back and legs trembling on his shoulders from the increasingly overwhelming overstimulation.
You just whine loudly when he blinks pleadingly at you, but you aren't about to back down now.
He's watching you carefully, eyes flicking between your trembling body and your rolling eyes and shamelessly loud moans.
Your breath is so shaky that your body trembles with each desperate inhale you attempt at, but it's hard to beat off your moans and whimpers for a moment long enough to draw breath.
Finally you just let go, squirting all over Aonung with a keening cry, trembling all over and nearly going limp in his arms.
You're mortified at how intense your orgasm was, even more so when you open your eyes and see yourself limp against the tree, propped up carefully by Aonung.
"Are you alright?" he asks, looking distinctly pleased with himself but also a little concerned.
"Sure," you say with a shaky laugh as Aonung sets you back down. "Where did you learn that shit?"
"I picked it up," Aonung shrugs modestly, at complete odds with the cocky confidence gleaming in his ocean eyes. "Just here and there."
"Right," you say, rolling your eyes at him, before noticing the bulge in his tewng.
He's painfully fucking hard now, and you can see the seams of his loincloth straining.
"Do you need some help?"
Your questions surprises you both. But then again, he did do a great job with you, and you weren't selfish. You're happy to help him out.
"I'm supposed to be helping you," Aonung points out, shifting slightly to cover his erection.
"You did," you argue. "Don't be up yourself, you can ask for help too."
When Aonung just stares at you, you shift closer and lightly trace his bulge.
Instantly, his breath hitches and his body instinctively moves to follow your touch. You teasingly let your hand drop and he exhales as you turn to raise your brows at him.
"So?"
"Yes," he breathes.
"Yes what, Aonung," you ask, feigning stupidness.
"Please help me," he begs.
It was easier than you thought as you grin and oblige, moving to your knees and sliding his tewng down, reaching out to grab his cock before it smacks against his admittedly very toned abs. 
It feels fucking massive in your small slim hand - the smooth teal colour looking prettily pale against the azure blue of your forest na'vi skin, the glowing blue tahnì gleaming invitingly at you.
You pump his cock a few times, grinning as he chokes out a groan, and lick a stripe along him before closing your lips around the tip. Instantly, his hand closes on a fist full of your hair as his head tips back against the tree, swallowing a choked groan as he watches you take him into your mouth.
He jerks when you open your mouth wider. You don't hate the way it stretches your lips - he's the biggest you've ever had and it makes the hinge of your jaw ache as you force him down your throat. 
When he hits the back of your throat, he groans loudly and inadvertedly thrusts his hips forward. You choke a little and his grip on your hair loosens slightly as he mutters a bashful apology, but you just grin slightly to yourself before taking him even deeper, suckling on the head and the sides over and over. 
You're pulling groans and curses out of him as easily as he pulls your head gently up and down on his cock. You don't mind it, he did a good job and this is his reward.
You feel him getting closer, twitching in your mouth. His moans are getting louder and breathier too, and his grip on your soft dark braids is only getting stronger and stronger until you're just letting him move your head, mouth open for him and eyes watching him all the while.
But as he's nearly at his peak, he pulls you off him, not wanting to cum in your mouth, but you just grab his hips and push him deep into your throat, moaning slightly and sucking faster. 
That alone makes him come, letting out a stream of low groans and softly mutter your name again and again as you keep moving through his high until he's cursing, catching his breath and lightly pulling you off him.
His pupils are blown wide, large black spheres ringed in a fine line of bright icy blue as he looks down at you, hand absentmindedly moving to cup your face and gently wipe away the rest of the mess he left on your face.
"Sorry," he mumbles. "You didn't have to do-"
"I wanted to," you say without thinking.
Aonung blinks, still struggling to catch his breath as he realises what he's doing and quickly drops his hand away.
"Well," he says thoughtfully. He looks like he's trying to wrench his gaze away from you, yet those large blue eyes stay stubbornly fixed in yours.
You don't exactly want to look away, but you have a strange feeling that even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to tear your own gaze away either.
It's something about the way you're both standing, him hunched and slumped slightly against the tree, you drawn to your full height, and the fact that he's still nearly a foot taller.
Then there's a shout of laughter through the trees, and you remember about the party and the village and every other single fucking thing that you just happened to forget when you were with Aonung.
Stupid skxawng.
"We should go back to the party," you say quickly, the first words that jump into your mind.
You know what you're doing. For the first time in your life, you're backing down. And it's not because he intimidates you- quite the opposite.
It's what you see as the possibilities that frighten you. Because sure, the night was obviously going to end with you and Aonung doing that, because the fucking tension was just unbearable. Because when he looks at you like that, it's pretty fucking obvious what he's thinking.
Neteyam was right, but he isn't just fucking pussy whipped. Despite all of Aonung's cocky joking comments, he doesn't only like you. He's not just attracted to you. 
He wants more than these little forest quickies, and you... you just have no idea what you want.
So maybe you have intimacy issues. What do you do now? This has never happened, feeling a desire to overcome those very issues.
WHAT HAS THIS STUPID, MASSIVE, FISH-LIPPED, MUSCULAR, INFURIATING, HANDSOME, RIDICULOUS, COCKY, SWEET, GENTLE SKXAWNG DONE TO YOU?
Aonung just nods, eyes still following you as you pass him his loincloth and slide on your own.
"Hey," he says, nudging you slightly as you walk back towards the village. "If you're ever left unsatisfied, just come and find me again."
"I'm pretty sure you'll be the one to come and find me if I'm hooking up," you grumble. 
"At least I can deal with you," Aonung shrugs. 
"Same with you," you grin with raised brows. "Seems like we can't have a conversation without you getting hard."
Aonung swats lightly at you, and you shove him into a bush.
"So is that a yes then?" Aonung calls after you, struggling to stand back up and brush the leaves off himself. "We'll help each other out? Friends with benefits?"
"Not friends," you point out. "We'd have to like each other to be friends."
"I don't have a problem with you," Aonung shrugs. "I think you're quite fantastic."
"Okay I already sucked your dick, don't try to get in my pants again," you grumble. "I'll see you later."
"Alright," Aonung says, grinning at you as you return to the village.
No one pays any attention to the fact that you returned together, though you notice Neteyam's golden eyes on the pair of you as you walk towards your kelku.
You don't bother saying goodnight as you and Aonung split up to go to your neighbouring homes.
But as you duck into the shelter of your kelku, you can still feel the burn of that icy gaze on you.
Friends with benefits?
You're still pretty drunk, but you can't bring yourself to bother about anything else as you crawl into your woven bed.
You can worry about the events of tonight tomorrow, but it's not like your agreement to Aonung's proposal means anything. Just sex- just helping the other out.
Nothing intimate.
At all.

I Cherish You, Halcyon Days: iii.
Tumblr media
“You’re gonna die, kid. In the worst way possible.”
tags: afab!reader (she/her), angst, slow burn
pairing: gojou x reader + onesided!getou x reader
summary: You’re 15 years old when you’re told you’re going to die. You’re 17 years old when you realize who your killer will be. And you’re 17 years old when you make peace with the fact you wouldn’t want it any other way.

Tumblr media
If you thought that on December 8th you would get a break from Gojou Satoru in your life, you were very much so wrong.
At this hour, there isn't even an opportunity to even try meeting up with your friends. They're all in school, one without the luxury of giving students the day off when a birthday or two comes around. You really do have to hope and pray for an opportunity to hang out to fall into your lap. It was one of your few promises to yourself when you entered the world of fighting against curses rather than passively living with them.
Even if you were living out an otaku's dream of fighting evil, you wouldn't forget the normalcy you were leaving behind.
It's just a lot easier said than done now that you're no longer in it ー not that you truly ever were as someone born to see curses.
At the very least, though, if things had been a bit different, you could have at least spent the hours leading up to your birthday with your actual friends instead of the class menace. I don't even know why he's here, you grumble as you skulk forward through the crowd. There are so many things Gojou could be doing besides being in your vicinity.
He could have gone to an arcade.
He could have stayed in his room playing video games. No, instead he's here with you smack dab in the middle of town because it would have been too boring on his own otherwise. Can't he be bored somewhere else? You again wallow over the fact your friends are in school at this present moment before deciding that is likely a good thing. Gojou does not need to meet your personal circle of friends.
"I'm bored," Gojou whines, lazily trailing behind you. "What's the point of doing this if we already know they're throwing us a party?"
My thoughts exactly, you huff. You pointedly ignore the fact that you've been completely fine with the arrangement prior to it being your turn. Birthday party set up is a different ordeal. There's usually plenty to keep you both separated from one another. "Take it up with, Fujioka-sensei and Yaga-sensei," you sigh, as you try to find something that can make time go faster. Your stomach growls and you bite your bottom lip in irritation. I shouldn't have skipped breakfast. But in their haste to boot you and Gojou out of the dorms, you forgot to grab something.
Gojou you could understand. But why you?
He's the one who shakes boxes of presents even if they're his.
You're as a mild-mannered as they come.
"Screw walking around, we might as well just find somewhere to eat," you look over your shoulder at the boy and he shrugs back, fine with the change of plans. "I'm pretty sure there's a Johnny's somewhere close by." Even a hole-in-the-wall restaurant will do.
"What about over there?" Gojou nods his chin far at the first building that catches his eye.
"There?" You raise an incredulous brow, resting your hands on your hips. It's no Johnny's, it seems a bit more cutesy than that with its quaint brick walls and frosted windows. The Christmas decorations leave little to be desired. "I don't want to deal with Santa in my ear the whole time."
Gojou points over to the establishment again and you trail after his finger until he stops at a bright, cherry-red sign, "but there's a discount."
Discount?
Christmas Lovey-Dovey Special: Couple's Receive 50% Off!
You share a look for approximately three seconds before your hands are clasping one another with much enthusiasm as you practically skip to the restaurant in question. "You know, darling, you really do come up with the best ideas, sometimes," you beam, eyes practically sparkling. If there is one thing people love universally whether rich or poor, it's a damn discount. And if holding hands and acting lovey dovey with Gojou means getting half off on a random discount for breakfast, you'll fold faster than Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice.
"Only sometimes?" Gojou croons and you're sure he's fluttering his eyelashes. "I'm pretty sure you mean all the time, cupcake."
Don't push it, your eyes narrow.
You get a shit-eating grin in return. "Table for two please," Gojou holds up two fingers with his free hand as you approach the doors, just as a hostess passes by. "We're just celebrating our birthdays!"
"He's December 7th," you point over to Gojou with a dreamy sigh.
"She's December 9th," Gojou nudges you lightly with a grin. "We're soulmates, it's pretty much a sign we were born for each other. Celebrating on the 8th is a happy medium, right, honey?"
"Satoru, please," your grip on his hand tightens in warning as you chuckle sheepishly. You're being too extra, dumbass. Gojou grins despite that, squeezing back just as hard but twice as obnoxious. "You're embarrassing me. She doesn't want to hear all of that sappy stuff. Don't indulge him, he's just in a good mood because we're partying with our friends later."
The hostess, bless her heart, takes Gojou's excessiveness in stride. She definitely doesn't get paid enough to deal with your antics. "What a sweet coincidence," she smiles politely. "Follow me right this way," she says before leading you to a table not too far away by a window. She's tired of dealing with couples, you hold back a look of pity. May her shift almost be over.
Within seconds of looking at the menu, you already know what you want to order. "I'm getting the drunken udon," you tell Gojou unnecessarily. "And the grapefruit juice. It's got grapefruit chunks in it."
Gojou doesn't even attempt to hide his disgust. When it came to fruit, grapefruit is the only he hates the most. You weren't fond of grapefruit when you were younger, but in the past 6 months you developed a taste for it when you realized it was the one drink in the dorm fridge Gojou doesn't touch. It's not that bad once you get used to. "Right, I forgot you and Utahime hate sweets," Gojou clicks his tongue, unimpressed. "You have boring taste buds. At least look at the special menu before getting something this place serves all the time." He points at a sickeningly pink strawberry soda too large for one person and two heart-shaped straws. "We should get this one instead. And the waffles."
"I like sweets, I just don't wanna taste the diabetes when I consume it," you argue back. You even love strawberries. You just know that the amount of sugar in that drink is likely enough to put a caveman in a coma. There's sweet and then there's the unnatural abominations that Gojou eats on a regular. What's scarier is that his justification is that it helps fuel his brain power or something dumb like that. You're pretty sure he ripped the idea straight out of a manga and is hoping no one notices. "You drink most of it then if we get it. Talk shit about my udon all you want, I'm still ordering it."
"We're getting it," Gojou replies promptly, no room left for argument. Whatever, there's grapefruit juice back in the dorms.
I'm grabbing a water just in case then.
The water is a godsend five minutes later when you are able to confirm that the Lovers' Strawberry Cloud does, in fact, have enough sugar to put a caveman in a coma. One sip and you regretted all of your life choices that led you to this very moment. "You finish it," you mutter after gulping half of your icy water down.
He's so happy about it, you're sure this was planned from the start.
Thankfully, your food arrives not too long afterward. The only real hiccup about the customer service is the waiter giving you the wrong plates. "Here you go," his lips curled upwards gently as he placed Gojou's waffles by your hands. It's only when he tries to give your udon to Gojou that the birthday boy in question stopped the motion with a lazy hand.
"The waffles are mine, actually," Gojou deadpans, passing your plate in your direction with one hand. With a clumsy sputter, the issue is resolved in seconds and your respective meals are placed in front of the right person.
You grimace, holding back a gag of frustration when Gojou wastes no time is shoving his food down his throat. Ravenously as he eats, somehow his cheeks stay clear of sticky mess coating them. Of course, Gojou even eats pretty. You're a hater, but you can give credit where credit is due. Gojou Satoru is, objectively speaking, very pretty. To be honest, all of your classmates are hot. It's almost unfunny how there isn't one average person in their ranks, yourself included of course. Gojou is just the only classmate that's this annoying about it. It's such an insult that someone with such a shitty attitude is this pretty. Where's Utahime to rant and groan with when you need her?
When your stomach growls again, you shake your head. Eat first, hate later.
You relish the taste with an enthusiastic moan. Drunken udon is the absolute best.
"Give me a bite?"
You blink once,
twice.
"No," you look at the white-haired sorcerer like he's grown a second head. "Gojou, drunken udon has chili in it." And yet in spite of your explanation, the prodigal son of the Gojou Clan still leans over enthusiastically, mouth wide open expectantly. "Yeah, I'm not letting you eat this," you snort before taking another bite of your meal. The texture of the noodles and the bell paper, the blend of the chili and garlic. It really is heaven in every bite.
"Some girlfriend you are, you don't even care that I'm starving," apparently the lovey dovey waffle platter on the table means nothing to him. There's a pause and he must have glanced down at his plate because a moment later he added, "this means nothing."
You roll your eyes, "hey genius, a true girlfriend that cares about you won't let you eat something she knows you don't like."
"But [First]," he groans.
"Why do you even want this this, you can't even handle curry that's barely above mild!"
"You're making it look good!"
"Because it is," you reply like it's obvious. For anyone who likes spice, drunken udon is delicious. "Gojou, no," you barely stifle your snickers as you remember the day you were reminded that Gojou and spice weren't compatible in the slightest. All it took was one bite into a hot cheetoh he stole from a box of snacks your parents mailed to you for a small taste of home to send him into a coughing fit so bad you almost felt bad for the guy. "You can't handle the hot cheetohs my parents send. I really don't know what to tell you other than you are not built like that, please stop."
"First of all, I don't know what you're talking about," you shake your head with a sigh as the argument continues. How someone could be this persistent to eat something their stomach can't handle, you don't know. "And second, since then I've become a man." That was literally two weeks ago.
You shrug with a sigh, "if you really want it then." You did your part in warning him, the rest is on Gojou. With a whispered 'yes!' that was far too smug, Gojou opened his mouth expectantly once more and you finally relented in feeding him.
One second.
Two seconds-
That's all it takes before Gojou's face contorts in pain and displeasure.
"Geez, how you can eat this kind of stuff, you can't even taste it over the spice!" Wordlessly, you set down your chopsticks to pass over a napkin and watch as he spits the noodley mush into it. The amusement from watching Gojou fan his tongue and lips like they're on fire is indescribable. "Why would you let me eat this?!" If you were worried about sharing the much-too-sugary couple's drink beforehand, you don't anymore as your classmate makes quick work of ingesting it.
"You said your tastebuds had gotten stronger since the last time."
"And you trusted me?!" Gojou's sunglasses slide down the bridge of his nose to show wide blue eyes in disbelief.
"I didn't," there are a few giggles from the table to your right and you have to purse your lips together to stop yourself from joining them. Your 'boyfriend' just looks at you in utter disbelief and betrayal, rambling on and on about his woes. "Oh stop being a baby, you spat it out so you'll be fine now. Here," you reach over to grab his fork, lifting a piece of whipped cream covered waffle with a thin slice of strawberry to boot. "Heal with the power of sugar." Grumbling all the while, your boyfriend of the hour clamped his mouth down on the goods. "Better?"
When you get another mumble but no complaints, you decide that's a 'yes' and go back to your own food. "Just try not to overdo it with the sweets. We still have cake and ice cream later." You love whipped cream on waffles as much as the next person, but the amount on Gojou's plate is unholy.
"This is better than the hellfire you call food anyway," your eyes roll but your mood is surprisingly at a high. Not even Gojou and his dramatics can spoil a meal, it seems. You also can't deny that knowing he won't be touching your udon the rest of your time there also lifts your spirits. "This is the perfect amount of sweet. The perfect amount of anything," your eyes dart between the whipped cream and your classmate, deadpan disbelief all over your face. "I'm serious. The strawberries aren't sweet so it all works out." When the disbelief doesn't leave your face, Gojou points his fork in your direction. "Try it."
Reluctant, you lean over to take a tentative bite. Oh.
You blink and make a noise of pleasant surprise. The tartness of the strawberries really balanced out the sweetness of the whipped cream. "Not bad," you lick the leftover whipped cream on your lips as Gojou continues gorging himself. From the corner of your eye, you see the people a table away giggling and whispering at your exchange.
You must be selling the couple's bit quite well.
"People in this country really make a big deal of indirect kisses," you say quietly enough for the two of you, returning to your own spicy goodness. "I didn't even know what they were when I moved here. I shared food and drinks like this all the time back home." Cousins, friends and other neighborhood kids that dance across your memories over the seasons from soda to ice cream to fruit. That came to a crashing halt when, during an after school heist at a burger joint, you nearly died drinking lychee soda and angled the straw for your friend Hide to try. Then everyone kept on making jokes about us being a thing and it started getting too awkward to hang around each other because he thought I had a crush on him. Food sharing politics were different from country to country, what a twist. "I guess that's a piece of culture shock no one ever really tells you about when you move to a new country."
Gojou shrugs at your nonchalant observations, "it's not a big deal for me. I just eat what I want."
"That's because you're a food thief."
Another shrug, a lack of denial. Details, details. A comfortable silence falls over the two of you as you continue eating.
This isn't so bad actually, you look out the window, watching as passersby make their own ways to their destinations. Living out their lives while you're some random extra eating drunken udon in a window.
To them, you're not [Full Name], you're just a random face they won't remember if they'll even see you in the first place. It's feelings like that fills you melancholy and fascination. No curses, no sorcerers and no Jujutsu Jesus. You wonder briefly if Gojou ever has such thoughts. To one part of the world he's the one who changed its very balance. To another part, he's just some guy. Just some random guy who happens to have a penchant for wearing sunglasses indoors. If it ever looms over his mind, you can't tell nor are you close enough you think he'd tell you. Maybe he tells Suguru or something. You see a flash of white and red in your peripheral vision and when you look, there's another mouthful of waffle in your face. This is such a weird combination of food, yet you take another bite anyway. You raise a few noodles of your own and mumble over a mouthful, "want another bite of mine?"
"Yeah no, I'm good," the white-haired sorcerer replies without missing any beats and you snicker. You wonder how much time will pass before he decides to test his luck with spice all over again. You have no doubt it won't take long.
A temporary truce between Gojou and the We Hate Gojou Alliance and on your birthday of all days. Well, almost your birthday. The small day set between you both to encapsulate both. Apparently, when his obnoxious levels and extreme lack of respect is dialed down to a 2, Gojou is a lot more tolerable than usual. Talk about a birthday surprise.
The rest of your lunch is eaten in relative silence but it isn't uncomfortable, you decide as you stuff yourself with a mixture of savory and sweet. Gojou tops off the last of the waffles with a satisfied with stretch of his arms before you split the bill. Good gods, I love a discount, you sigh in satisfaction as you finally make your way to leave. "We should probably start heading back to the school right?" It shouldn't take that long to set up a party. There's only one cake. "We probably have a few hours until they're done with the cake and setting up decorations."
"Might as well walk off all the calories so there's room for later," he shrugs and he's about to put his hands in his pocket before opting to grab your hand. "Let's go pet Hachiko or something."
Off to Shibuya you go then.
The grand finale of your pretending to be a couple is nothing special. You simply walk out the door, matching smiles on your faces as you pass by the staff.
When you finally exit the building, you shudder at the cold autumn wind that hit your face. Your hand tightens around Gojou's, clutching for warmth instinctively. Of course his hands are permanently warm. "What are you, a furnace?" Gojou grins smugly when you lift your intertwined hands, scrutinizing his with a squint somewhere between envy and curiosity. He has nice hands, you note. They're soft, but not so unbelievably soft you would think he was some civilian. His palms are a touch coarse, but nothing uncomfortable to hold, with no scars or blemishes to be seen. Must be the perk of utilizing Limitless at his leisure. "Why do you get to be blessed with warm hands?"
"Maybe the universe just likes me more," he replies with ease.
Considering his future is the one that's boring and yours is the one marked with death, that must truly be the case.
"Must be."
Happy Birthday to us.

Chapter 149 thoughts!
We’re picking up where we left off!!! Is it sad that that’s enough reason to be excited? Claire had put the fear of it off screening the rest of the convo in me (see my tags on her chapter review from last week for reference)
Poor Kana, I can get why she’s so unsure, she is really trying to piece together what’s in Aqua’s head from like, a collection of mixed messages tbh
Tumblr media
Very funny line coming from Akane
Oh this might be the most important line in the chapter to me, mostly because it supports my insane rambling theories and analysis. I have a LOT of thoughts on Akane’s relationship with Ai from the point of view of someone who has spend a lot of time trying to think inside Ai’s head. But that’ll wait for when I actually finish my big analysis essay.
Tumblr media
Gay gay gay gay! I love that they’ve gone from open hostility with silent admiration to admitting how great the other is. I REALLY hope they can be friends by the end of the series, they have the most important relationship to me.
Tumblr media
Akane is such a firm supporter of Kana and her dreams, I like that she gets angry when Kana tries to step back and give what she wants to someone else, it’s a good parallel to her frustration with Kana in Tokyo Blade
Tumblr media
Wild Kana Fled!
I’m a bit disappointed that Akane didn’t tell her the truth of what was going on with Aqua but I didn’t really expect her to. Kana not knowing shit is a big part of the status quo that I can’t see being upset lightly.
Tumblr media
AAAAAAA AKANE UNHINGED BITCH KUROKAWA IS BACK I LOVE HER.
It’s so great to have a driving button pusher again, she’s not content to let a scene happen and be forgotten, she’s exactly what this story needs! Follow up! LOVE her just showing up at her house, she’s getting less normal by the day and I love her for it.
Akane considering that Aqua won’t let the people important to him in on his plans hurts a little, she has such an insecure view of her relationship with Aqua, unsurprising given her insecurities during the relationship as well as the breakup.
It’s sad to me that both of them are insecure as to where they stand with Aqua tbh, probably because of all the hot and cold games he’s played with them (not usually intentionally, but it’s not like he communicates intention) Like Aqua could have had romantic feelings for Akane and he DOES have them for Kana
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This makes a lot of sense to me. Kana and Aqua are two people elevated to Akane both in terms of the pedestals she puts them on (the savior who was there for her during MyLove and the reason she started acting in the first place) while also being people she loves. With Akane’s fan-like perspective, it’s unsurprising that she has privately decided what’s best for both of them and plans to make it happen.
Tumblr media
She is spiraling out of control lmao and I’m not sure if it’ll be seriously addressed or just accepted as an evolution of her character but it’s fascinating either way.
Tumblr media
I almost forgot Aqua’s a celebrity lmao, we haven’t really talked about fame in a while.
I know Akane’s going to get a lot of flak for seemingly just going “oh Aqua needs a woman to fix him” but I don’t really know if that’s what she’s doing. From her conversation with him last chapter, we can see that Akane had a pretty good insight into what’s important for Aqua and that’s his bonds. So important, in fact, that he specifically tried to sever them in preparation for his revenge.
To me, it seems like Akane is trying to build for Aqua that he can’t easily sever like hers, and won’t push him in a detrimental direction (like hers AND Ruby’s rn tbh) to force him to see the potential consequences to his actions that he likes to ignore.
Aqua doesn’t want people to miss him when he’s gone, he doesn’t want to hurt others, which is why Akane tries to keep reinforcing how much people care about and would miss him. I don’t think she’s necessarily expecting to fix him, but rather she sees he’s conflicting and is trying to put pressure on that conflict.
Is it a good idea? No probably not, but I think it’s in line with her character and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Overall a great chapter imo, especially for Akane. I’m a big fan of the character (hence my name on here) but even I’d been strongly questioning if Akasaka had a direction for her character at this point, and considered that maybe he should’ve killed her off at the fakeout if there was nothing more to do with her.
And I don’t COMPLETELY take that back tbh, her stalking Hikaru and keeping an eye on Aqua are both not really adequate explanations behind her statements at the beginning of last arc. She intended to STOP Aqua. Not watch him, not delay him, but stop him.
I can’t really tell if she has a further plan that’s just been off screen (which was what I initially suspected at the beginning of last arc) or if she’s just kind of a plot convenient stalker now.
This was a step in the right direction though, while certainly not passing the bechel test lol, it’s elevating Akane back to a character from a plot device for me, giving her back some flaws and biases in how she involves herself with things
I’m hoping to see how this is followed up on now, especially in reference to the wet fart of an unresolved subplot that is aqrb. It’s no surprise that aqkn is endgame, I think we’ve generally all known that from the start, but I doubt it’ll actually be happening soon.

A touch of cinnamon and spice
Chapter 4
summary: Our boys awkwardly talk about their feelings.
3.569 words · Rated: EXPLICIT · Please read the updated tags on AO3!
Notes: Sorry, I totally forgot to mention this before: Robin and Steve are roommates! Also, Steve doesn’t know what D&D is! For the sake of this fic I will ignore the fact that they normally wouldn’t have their own bathroom at their dorm room. In case you didn’t know: putting a sock on the outer doorknob of a room means “Don’t come in, we’re doing spicy stuff!”

Chapter 4 · November 6th 1987 
“Hey, I’m back!”
Jonathan shut the door and threw his backpack onto his bed.
“Hmm.” Eddie made a noise of acknowledgment but didn’t look up from his book. Not even his favorite story had managed to cheer him up, even though he had loved reading “The Hobbit” since he was a kid. Instead, he was staring at the sketch he had made of Steve, which he had kept between the pages… 
“Listen, you should come to the game with me.” Jonathan sounded determined. 
“Huh?” Eddie turned his head to see if Jonathan was joking. Football? Really? He wasn’t a fan of sports and Jonathan knew that.
“I just think some fresh air would be good for you… And to focus your mind on something else for a change…” Jonathan shrugged. 
Eddie frowned. It hadn’t even been a whole week since the halloween party. He had a hard time shaking off the memory of the kiss. Steve’s soft lips against his own and the fireworks in his chest… And the dreadful scene that unfolded in front of him afterward.
Since then, Eddie had run into Steve a few times in the halls or the cafeteria. He had tried to talk to him, but Eddie had bolted every single time. He had taken notice of Steve’s worried face, but he wasn’t interested in what he had to say. Eddie was still hurting and it was embarrassing. He shouldn’t care so much about a guy he kissed once. So he chose to mope about it in his dorm room and avoid leaving whenever he could.
“I gotta take some pictures for the school paper”, Jonathan went on as he prepared his camera with a new film, cleaned the lens, and stuck it into his camera bag. “You could tag along?”
“Ugh, alright.” Eddie sighed as he got up from his bed and stretched his back. “I guess I don’t have anything better to do anyway.”
The moment he stepped outside, Eddie regretted it. He had only thrown his leather jacket over his hoodie when he had left the dorm.
It had been an especially uncomfortable November day. The weather was grim and cold, large dark gray clouds were covering the sky. He pulled the hood over his unruly hair which helped a bit to keep the wind from his neck and face.
Unsure about how this could change his already miserable mood, Eddie grumpily accompanied Jonathan to the football field.
Jonathan took his place at the side of the field, all the way down the bleachers whereas Eddie was walking up a few steps, looking for a free seat. Despite the weather, it was very crowded since it was the last game of the season. 
“Hey, Eddie!” A familiar voice called his name.
Oh no.
Equipped with a dark blue coat and a burgundy scarf, Steve was sitting a few rows ahead. He was giving Eddie a small reluctant smile and offered the free seat beside him. His usually neatly styled hair was a little messy, due to the relentless fall wind. 
Eddie felt his shoulders tense up.
Just be casual, Munson. Like he didn’t consume your thoughts for the last few weeks.
“Hey,” Eddie said as his cheeks blushed slightly with embarrassment. He sat down, hands in his pockets, pretending to follow the game to avoid Steve’s view. Their college’s team had just scored a touchdown and everyone was cheering around them. Colorful banners and big foam fingers flew through the air as they shouted their team’s anthem.
After a while, Steve spoke up carefully: “Um, so I wanted to ask you… why did you leave the party so suddenly?”
Here we go.
“You seemed busy flirting with someone else, so I thought it was better if I left,” Eddie answered dryly. His shoulders felt tight as he waited for the impending rejection. 
“I wasn’t flirting though.” 
“Huh?” Eddie raised his eyebrows at him.
“I was catching up with some friends I hadn’t seen in a while. And when you were gone, I was so confused.” Steve said softly. “I was genuinely looking forward to meeting up with you again…” 
“Oh…” Something inside Eddie began to stir with hope. This was not what he had expected. 
Steve awkwardly scratched the back of his head. “I, um… I thought we had a moment that night.” And now it was him blushing and not looking at Eddie. “Sparks, fireworks, whatever you wanna call it…”
Eddie stared at his feet, letting his long curls fall into his face, hopefully concealing his flushed cheeks. He had to wrap his head around what he had just heard, but Steve sounded honest. After all, he could have just ignored Eddie and moved on, but here he was, talking to him, clarifying what had happened. It had all been a big misunderstanding.
“We did have a moment…” He glanced over at Steve, lips curling into a soft smile.
“So… are we good?” Steve asked, playfully bumping his shoulder into Eddie’s.
“We’re good, Stevie.” Eddie let out a huffed laugh. He sat upright again, relief flooding his body and he felt his shoulders relaxing. “Damn, now I wish I had stayed.”
“There’s always next time if you want.” Steve gave him a charming smile and their eyes locked.
One day Eddie’s heart was gonna jump out of his chest at how beautiful Steve was. He looked at him with kind eyes and this stupid grin on his face. 
What did I get myself into… he’s so pretty…
They watched together as Steve made a few comments about the course of the game. Eddie nodded along, pretending to understand the football lingo, but it gave him an excuse to look at Steve’s handsome face.
“So, how come Robin isn’t with you? The two of you seemed pretty inseparable.” Eddie asked, eager to find out more about Steve’s life.
“She’s currently at our dorm with her girlfriend, Nancy, the girl that you saw at the party,” Steve explained. “Also full disclosure, Nancy and I used to date in high school, but that didn’t work out, and now we’re friends.”
Their team scored another goal and the audience around them roared. 
“Honestly I have no idea what’s going on down there!” Eddie chuckled and gestured towards the field.
“Then why are you still here?” Steve laughed.
“It’s the excellent company for me, Stevie” Eddie smirked.
Eddie felt a few raindrops fall onto his nose and cheeks and he looked up at the sky. It had started to drizzle, but the dark clouds in the distance looked very ominous.
Those who were thoughtful enough to bring umbrellas and raincoats were fine, but Eddie groaned as his jeans and hood slowly got drenched.
What started as a light shower that was easy to handle, quickly developed into massive rainfall with heavy gusts of wind. Down on the field, the players kept slipping and losing their balance on the soaked lawn due to poor visibility from the rain and wind. 
At first, the announcer reported that they were keeping the game going, hoping the rain would subside soon. But with time, the injuries kept piling up and several players of each team had to be taken off the field to be treated by the paramedics. The breaking point was when one of the quarterbacks had hurt his ankle so badly, they believed it to be broken.
Once again, the announcer’s voice roared from the speakers: “That’s it, folks, we’re gonna have to pick this up another time! Please get inside safely and don’t rush!”
Steve nudged Eddie in the side: “Let’s go!”
Back inside, Eddie took off his hood and rubbed his hands together. He was completely drenched and freezing and Steve didn’t seem to have gotten away any better despite his winter coat.
Steve looked like a sad, wet puppy: Big eyes, hair deflated, wet strands hanging in his face, rain dripping from the tip of his nose.
“Are you okay?” Eddie chuckled, the sight that Steve presented was just too cute.
“I can’t go back to my dorm…” Steve let out a groan of frustration.
“Why not?”
“Robin has invited Nancy over to our room.” He glanced over at Eddie. “We have a deal: I watch the game, they can have some alone time…” 
“Ooh.” 
Steve looked at his watch. “I have like 2 more hours to kill at least”, he said with a frown.
“You can come to my dorm”, Eddie offered. “I can help you warm up”, he added with a cheeky smirk.
“You’re ridiculous”, Steve laughed but followed Eddie to his dorm room.
Eddie lent Steve some sweatpants, a faded Metallica shirt and showed him to the bathroom where he could get changed.
Meanwhile, he threw his own wet clothes on the radiator, slipped into comfy pajama pants, a Black Sabbath shirt, and then frantically tried to clean up the place. Once he was done, it was still a mess, but he hoped Steve wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
“Thanks for the change of clothes, I already feel so much better”, Steve said, stepping out of the bathroom. He was rubbing his hair dry with a towel which made the already very small shirt ride up at his waist and expose a gorgeous dark trail of hair from his bellybutton to the rim of the sweatpants. 
“No problem…” Eddie’s voice trailed off as he glanced at Steve’s exposed skin and the way his shirt stretched over his pecs and biceps. 
Steve put both hands on his hips and let his gaze wander around Eddie’s side of the room. Posters of his favorite bands, like Metallica, Judas Priest and DIO, magazine cutouts and a few concert tickets were plastered all over the wall. A large banner that said CORRODED COFFIN in black and red distorted letters had been hung in the middle. An acoustic guitar was placed next to the TV at the foot of his bed.
“Corroded Coffin is your band, right?” Steve asked and pointed to the banner.
“Yeah“, Eddie answered, delighted that he remembered the name. 
“I’d love to hear you guys play someday.”
“I’m gonna convert you to a true metal fan, just so you know.”
“We’ll see about that”, Steve laughed.
Next, he wandered over to Eddie’s cluttered desk in the corner. It was covered with drawings, weirdly shaped dice, pencils and books. He picked up one of his books and raised an eyebrow.
“Dungeons and Dragons, huh? Sounds kinky…”
Eddie snorted. “Right…” 
Steve sat down on Eddie’s bed, stretched out his legs and put the towel around his neck.
“Do you wanna watch a movie?” Eddie asked. He was happy to see that Steve had already made himself comfortable on his bed. “Here”, he took his blanket and threw it over Steve’s legs.
“Thanks. Do you have Star Wars?”
Eddie’s face lit up, excited that Steve was a fan, too. He went over to his stack of VHS tapes next to the TV. “Sure, which one do you wanna watch?”
“The one with the teddy bears,” Steve replied with a confident grin.
“Really, Steve?” Eddie rolled his eyes at him.
“What?” Steve shrugged. 
“You’re lucky, you’re cute”, Eddie commented while looking for the right tape.
The characteristic Star Wars intro blared from the speakers. The bright yellow writing on the starry sky slowly floated over the screen, introducing the premise of the story. Eddie sat down on the bed next to Steve, who, without saying a word, lifted the blanket and Eddie snuck under it with him.
Smiling to himself, Eddie felt himself buzzing with excitement on the inside. He was ready to take it slow, but he also really wanted to kiss Steve again… 
Throughout the movie, Steve kept asking random questions like “Who’s that old guy again?” and commented “I have no idea what’s going on…” when the rebels around Han, Leia and Luke met up to discuss their plan to bring down the empire.
“I thought you’ve seen this before?” Eddie laughed, but Steve just shrugged.
Eddie shifted in his seat and sneakily scooted a little closer to Steve, snuggling against his side. They were practically cuddling by now and Eddie felt the energy shifting slightly as Steve leaned into the touch. 
“Han Solo is so hot”, Steve remarked about thirty minutes into the movie. 
“Dark cheeky rebels do it for you then, huh, Stevie?” Eddie teased.
“Maybe”, Steve whispered and suddenly there was a broad hand on Eddie’s thigh, giving it a little squeeze. His heart started beating faster. They were so close… Breathing in Steve’s wonderful sweet scent and gazing deep into his longing eyes made Eddie feel warm all over. 
Steve’s gaze dropped to his lips. “Can I kiss you?”
“Next time sure is here faster than I thought”, Eddie gave him a cocky grin.
“Shut up”, Steve laughed and pulled him into a soft kiss. 
The way Steve kissed him was exhilarating, Eddie felt like fireworks were bursting in his chest. He tilted his head and kissed him back impatiently while tugging on his waist to get him to come closer. Steve climbed into Eddie’s lap, both of his legs on either side of Eddie’s. He was met with Eddie’s arms wrapping around him immediately. 
“For the record, it’s called Return of the Jedi...”, he mumbled between kisses.
“Hmm?” 
“The movie. Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi”
Steve looked at him confused and with kiss swollen lips and flushed cheeks. “Is this your idea of making me swoon?” He asked with a huffed laugh.
Eddie grinned and sealed their mouths again. Steve’s fingers wandered into his hair and started drawing patterns into the nape of his neck, sending shivers over Eddie’s sensitive skin. 
They made out with the movie still playing behind them, neither of them paying attention. When Eddie playfully bit into Steve’s bottom lip, then licked over it apologetically, Steve suddenly let out a small moan. 
Eager to find out what other sweet sounds Steve would make, Eddie did it again, this time biting a little rougher. Steve let out another soft noise of pleasure.
“Eddie…”, he whispered and then his lips were on Eddie’s again, kissing him hungrily. “Eds… I really like you…” Steve said in a low voice, rolling his hips slowly in Eddie’s lap.
“Would be strange if you hated me since you’re in my lap and…” he teasingly grinded his hips upwards and Steve let out a choked whimper “...hard.”
“You don’t seem unaffected by this yourself…” Steve licked his lips and gazed at Eddie from under his long lashes. Experimentally, he drove his hips down harder.
“Stevie…” Eddie groaned and his hands moved to grip Steve’s hips, guiding his motions. 
“God, you’re so hot, why are you so hot…” Steve was almost slurring his words between kisses and driving his hips down into Eddie’s crotch.
Eddie answered by pulling Steve into a filthy kiss, greedily sliding his tongue inside his mouth, earning him another moan. His hand found its way under Steve’s, well, his t-shirt and brushed over his nipple. The lewd noise that Steve made went right to Eddie’s dick. Something hungry was building up in his belly, yearning for more.
“You’re driving me insane, you know that?” Eddie growled against Steve’s hot skin while kissing down his neck, licking and biting gently. “Lie down for me, okay?”
“Okay…” Steve let Eddie maneuver him until he was lying on his back, splayed out, letting his legs fall open for Eddie to fit snugly between them. But instead, Eddie got up.
“Hang on a second…” he said, grabbed one of his socks from the floor and put it on the outer doorknob of the room.
“Woah, you have high hopes”, Steve chuckled and raised an eyebrow at him. 
“Well, Stevie, I’d say that’s entirely your fault, laid out like this on my bed, looking like a snack!” Eddie just shrugged and laid on top of Steve and kissed him again before he could say anything else about the sock on the door.
“I still wanted to tell you… at the party, hmm” Steve broke off mid-sentence as Eddie was attacking his neck with wet kisses. “You looked so hot… the eyeliner and no shirt, just the jacket… I couldn’t stop staring at you.” 
“You’re one to talk, I wanted to rip that tiny white shirt right off… that chest hair, lemme see, please?” Eddie was tugging at his shirt and Steve sat up so Eddie could take it off.
Eddie immediately buried his face in Steve’s beautiful chest hair. Steve was all broad and hairy, whereas Eddie was more on the lean side and just sported a few hairs on his own chest. Steve’s tanned skin was peppered with moles all over his torso like little kisses and Eddie was determined to find every single one and kiss it himself.
He let out a pleased sigh and began to trace the shape of Steve’s pecs and gently took his nipple into his mouth. He flicked his tongue over it, then the other one, making Steve squirm under his touch.
“Ahh oooh, Eds!” Steve bucked up his hips. 
Eddie came up again to kiss him and rubbed his crotch back against Steve’s whose hands flew to Eddie’s butt, squeezing, spurring him on to give him that delicious friction.
“Steve…” Eddie purred over him and propped himself up on his elbows, stroking with one hand through Steve’s hair that stood up messily from his forehead. “Stevie, baby” he whispered again to get his attention.
“Yeah?” Steve looked utterly ravaged, blinking up at Eddie, trying so hard to concentrate. Eddie knew he was close, he felt it and saw it in his gaze.
“As much as I’d love to mindlessly hump you, Stevie, these are my last clean pants. The ones you’re wearing and mine.”
Steve let out a small frustrated groan. “So what do you propose?”
“Good old-fashioned handjob?” Eddie suggested with a grin.
“I’m up for that” Steve smiled. “But first, take this off please, I wanna see you, too” he pulled on Eddie’s shirt and slid it over his head.
“You have more tattoos!” Steve’s eyes went wide as he traced the tattoo on Eddie’s chest with his fingers.
“I do,” Eddie chuckled. “Planning on getting more, too.”
“Hot…” Steve said in a low voice as he admired Eddie. He reached up to cup his jaw and dragged him down into another kiss.
Eddie helped Steve tug down his sweatpants and underwear as well as his own. He felt his excitement grow upon seeing Steve’s heavy cock again, this time hard and up close. 
His mouth began to water. Another time maybe…
“Here, let me”, Steve offered as he wrapped his broad hand over both of their shafts. Eddie moaned loudly when Steve began to slowly pump his hand, using their precum to ease the glide. 
“Steve… oh god”, Eddie rocked into his hand.
“Feels good?” Steve’s voice sounded rough and filthy. Eddie felt the blood rush through his veins.
“Yeah… you’re amazing” Eddie whimpered shakily. “I’m close, Stevie.”
Steve gently rubbed his thumb over the sensitive underside of his swollen cockhead, taking Eddie by surprise and with a sudden cry, he spilled across Steve’s stomach. Encouraged by this and Eddie’s wrecked noises, Steve moved his hand faster and soon he was shooting his own big load onto his tummy and watched it mix with Eddie’s.
Both of them were breathing heavily. Eddie bent down to give Steve a tender kiss. “I like you, too, you know… In case you didn’t know already.” Steve gave him a stunning smile, eyes gleaming, cheeks pink. Eddie peppered a few more kisses to the corner of his mouth and his cheeks. 
After cleaning themselves up, they cuddled up under the blanket again. They watched the rest of the movie while laughing, kissing, enjoying each other’s company and eventually Eddie asked: “Do you wanna stay here tonight?” 
Steve was sitting in his lap again, with his back to Eddie’s chest, Eddie’s arms around him. “Don’t you think Jonathan will be back at some point?” 
“I’m pretty sure he’ll just go over to Argyle’s and sleep there”, Eddie replied and gave him a suggestive look. “With the sock still on the door…”
“I guess I can stay then.” Steve smiled.
“Awesome! Let’s order some food and then… How about The Lost Boys next?” Eddie grinned.
Jonathan had been at the photo lab after the football game had been canceled and was now making his way back to the dorm. It was already dark out and he wanted nothing more than to lie down with a good book. As he approached his dorm, he noticed a white tennis sock hanging on the doorknob and he stopped in his tracks.
He did see Eddie and Steve sitting next to each other on the bleachers and he had hoped they’d talked things through. So hopefully it was them in there… talking.
He grinned to himself and turned around.
Jonathan knocked on the door, heart racing in his chest as he clutched his bag and waited.
The door swung open and Argyle, long dark hair flowing over his shoulders, stood in the doorframe. His face lit up once he saw it was Jonathan.
“Hey!”
“Hi,” Jonathan smiled shyly. “My dorm is occupied tonight, can I stay with you?”
“Absolutely, come on in!”

Blossoms of love
Stories and feelings
Pairing: soap/ghost
tags: angst, hurt/comfort, hanahaki, mentions of past character death
Ao3 link || chapter 1 || chapter 2
As hard as he tried, sleep evaded all attempts at capture. Still he kept his eyes closed, hoping by some miracle to catch even a wink of sleep. 10, 15, 30 minutes passed before he gave up, finally deciding the eventual back pain from the position wasn’t worth pretending to sleep anymore. When he opened his eyes he was met with a certain pair of piercing, blue, scottish eyes. He felt a less than comfortable flare of pain in his throat, thankful for the mask covering his face.
At some point while he had his eyes closed, Price had moved to the seat next to Gaz, and they were playing a game of cards. Soap, seeing that his eyes were open, scooched over to the seat next to him. The ache didn’t ease as soap sat down, in fact it flamed hotter as soap knocked their knees together. The pain was so great that for a moment he forgot how to breathe, and he hoped only he noticed how raspy his breathing had gotten.
“You alright, L.T.? Bin kind o’ wheesht th’ lest tae days.”
“English.”, the playful jab was second nature by now.
“Quiet. Ye been quiet since yesterday.”, he clarified. Ghost had to clear his throat before replying. Soap gave him a quick look that he couldn’t quite decipher.
“I’m always quiet.”
“Ah ken, but not this quiet.”, his chest seemed to tighten at the scot’s words.
“Don’t worry about me, johnny.”, he could hear his own breath rattling in his chest as he spoke.
They lapsed into a comfortable silence after that. Though it wasn’t too long after that soap began telling ghost about his day yesterday. How he’d been helping a rookie fit one of the vehicles in the shop, which quickly led to how his granda taught him how to fix all sorts of vehicles.
“He sounds like a good man, johnny.”
“Aye, he was.. He got hit by a drunk driver a few years back, he didn’t make it to the hospital. My nan was heartbroken.” he fidgeted with his fingers as he finished, as if he hadn’t told anyone until just now.
“She…”, he had to clear his throat again, “did she develop…” he trailed off at the end, not wanting to… offend him. Soap nodded his head.
“They offered surgery but, uh, but she refused.”
“Sorry to hear. I… I know the pain.”
His chest twanged with pain, and his breath rattled again as he was overcome with an urge to ease the sergeant’s pain. He was unable to cover the wet cough that took over his body without warning. A hand began rubbing soothing circles on his back and shoulder, and suddenly he had swallowed barbed wire. The next hack brought out copper tanginess, and spit softened spindles to coat his tongue and lips.
When the fit was over he could feel two pairs of eyes on his back, and one on his masked face. He could feel a very slight dampness on his lips, which he assumed indicated his mask hadn’t been left unaffected.
“Ghost.”, price called over in a concerned voice.
“‘M fine, cap. Swallowed a fiber from my mask by accident.” he answered, not turning to look at the man, ignoring the way the debris on his lip rubbed irritatingly between his lip and the mask when he spoke. The twin sets of burning gazes stayed for another excruciatingly long moment before dissipating.
He took a steadying breath that rattled so loudly he was sure soap could hear before lifting up the bottom of his mask, just enough to rest on the bridge of his nose. Soap’s gaze hadn’t wavered once, and his eyes shot down to his lips as soon as they were exposed, recognition lighting up in them.
“Ghost..?”, the words were barely above a whisper.
“This isn’t-.. It’s not… my first time.”, he breathed through his mouth as he spoke.
“We hafta- you should- price has to know.”
“No.” ghost immediately shot back, “not yet.” he added to ease the blow.
“Ghost..”, soap, oddly enough, looked saddened by his words.
“Please, johnny, I should have a few more weeks, at least, before it gets too bad. You can’t tell him.” ghost was nearly ready to get on his knees to beg, when soap finally relented with a dejected sigh.
“You said… this wasnae your first time?” soap asked after a moment of quiet. He nodded.
“It was years ago, and I got the surgery to remove it.” he said softly.
“Why didnae ye just tell whoever it was?”
“It doesn’t work like that.. And I couldn’t.”
“Why not?” ghost whipped off the remaining petals and pulled his mask back down.
“It’s gotta be a natural reciprocation, johnny.” he said, purposefully playing dumb.
“Ah ken that, but why couldnae ya tell ‘em?”, he got the feeling soap knew what he was doing. He answered with a sigh.
“We were both military. It was a bad OP with faulty intel, and it only got worse from there. They didn’t make it, along with several others. A few weeks later I, along with a few others began developing symptoms. I got it removed as soon as I could, it took almost 2 months of recovery. Those two months were the worst I've ever experienced. Don’t think I could do that again. One of them chose not to, they were given the flower just before they died, I heard they got buried together. After that I only went on solo for a while, that’s why I go on so many now. Old habits and all, ya’know.”
Soap hummed an understanding as he shook his head to clear his mind of the memories.
“... Ye ken who it is?”
“maybe.”
“Think ya got a shot?”, the scot asked, an honest question.
“Dunno.”, ghost answered just as truthfully.
“Do I get ta ken?”, soap asked lightly.
“No.” ghost answered just as light. Even as the pain in his chest simultaneously eased up and stabbed deeper at the same time.

crushing popcorn beneath my feet
☆ tags: mammon x gn!reader, y/n is a carnival booth worker, mammon keeps spending money on their booth to spend time with them, mini-series, ft. asmo ☆
Mammon likes to gamble on a lot of things. The chance that Lucifer won’t catch him sneaking back into the House of Lamentation past curfew, for example. The one card game that he can’t figure out in the underground casino, for another. The weather whenever stormy, grey clouds hang low and he doesn’t feel like carrying an umbrella because he’ll definitely forget it somewhere. He’s the Avatar of Greed, but maybe his greatest sin is never learning his lesson.
Right now, he’s gambling on—
“Love?” Asmo’s voice cuts in, way too smug for Mammon’s liking. “You're in love, aren't you? Ooo, do you need any help?”
Mammon shoves his brother’s face out of the way. “Quit yer yappin’!” he snaps. His wallet, bursting with newly procured Grimm, sits heavy in his pocket. He has a goal, yes, but it's not love. It's victory. Technically. “I’m just tryin’ to beat this stupid game.”
“Oh yeah?” Asmo cooes, prancing by Mammon’s side as he huffs and puffs towards a familiar booth. He doesn’t have anything better to do today? A spa trip, perhaps? Or a drinking party with his friends? “The fact that you keep visiting during a certain someone’s shift has nothing to do with you having a little crush on them?”
“No, it doesn’t.” Mammon pauses and then repeats for good measure, “No.”
He just happens to be free whenever you’re working, and it’d be creepy if he walked up and talked to you, but if he makes casual conversation as a paying customer, then it’s just him being polite. That’s all it is. The smell of popcorn is thick in the air, and annoyingly loud pop music blasts from the nearby go-kart rink. He pays them no mind, not when he turns the corner to approach your stand and your face brightens. Grinning, he’s about to greet you when Asmo flounces forward with a call of your name.
What the hell? He knows you?
“Is that the Asmo?” you ask, bracing an arm against the booth’s wooden frame as you lean forward. “What are you doing here?”
“Visiting my favorite worker, of course!” he says with a wink. Mammon’s scowl deepens. “And accompanying my favorite brother. He said he’s feeling lucky today. Maybe he’ll finally win me one of the stuffed dragons hanging from the awning.”
You laugh at that. “I wouldn’t bet on it if I were you—he’s sunk so much money in the past few days without getting anything, but maybe that’ll change today.”
“I didn’t know we were all friends here,” Mammon finally says before Asmo can poke fun at his throwing skills. He looks between the two of you. He’s not bitter, no. It only took him a solid week to get your name, knowledge that Asmo already had apparently. And the ease in his brother’s voice is something he still hasn’t mastered.
“We’re not! Yet. We could be.” He leans close to Mammon and murmurs. “Their name’s on the side of the booth, silly. They paste the workers’ names there to signal shifts.” He leans back with another disarming smile.
“I hope so!” you say, no sign of having heard their exchange. “Asmo’s pretty well-known around here, but I only know him through Devilsgram.”
Right, he forgot Asmo’s a mini-celebrity.
You pick up three balls from your basket and hold them up to him. “Another round, pretty boy?” you tease, and as always, he stammers out something resembling a yes before forking over the Grimm. This time, he has to ignore the delighted look on Asmo’s face and hopes to Hell that it won’t be used against him later. You drop the money into the black apron tied around your waist and step back to give him space.
“I want that one,” Asmo says, latching onto Mammon's throwing arm and pointing towards the biggest stuffed toy. “What does he need to knock over to get it?”
A common question. You take out a long stick and gesture to the front row of boards to knock over. “These get you the little ones at the bottom. The second row get you the toys in the middle section. The next row gets you the bigger toys. And this last level, the Hell Challenge level, gets you the biggest things. Or really, two or three of whatever you want in this booth.”
And that’s the level Mammon’s been gunning for. Because technically, you’re in this booth, so if he knocks over one of the Hell Challenge boards, he can ask you…ask you on a date…listen, the plan sounds cooler in his thoughts, okay? He shakes his head, loosening the tendrils of doubt at the edges of his heart, and prepares to throw.
.
.
Asmo walks away with two small newts and a star-shaped sticker.
PT. 2 : here

Remembering my legacy story...
That tag has me thinking about my legacy story and how the story was shaped by my discoveries and ignorance while learning about this game. The first few generations were kind of tragic. I played vanilla and on normal life, and it took me until the day before X's birthday to get married. I was so scared he was gonna die without children, causing me to fail the challenge on the first try lol. He actually was engaged before, but his fiancé showed up the night before the wedding as an elder!! My boy had to start all over. UGH! He eventually found someone, but he had to propose to her three times! FINALLY he got married and had two children before he croaked.
His wife died on their son's teen birthday, leaving both children an orphan! I was terrified social services was gonna come and take them away! 🤣 I didn't know yet that teenagers were just baby-faced adults. 😑 But man, that period was hard. Those poor kids had to grow up way too fast. They got jobs to pay the bills, and they had almost zero free time. They were tired ALL the time because all they did was work. They had their jobs, but they also had a garden they had to take care of because the flowers paid the lion's share of the bills. They stopped doing their homework because it took up too much time. Their grades plummeted, and the principal called every day. But somehow I discovered you could have their birthdays at any time, so I aged the oldest one up like 4 or 5 days early because those poor kids needed a break!
(more generations under the cut)
At the end of generation two and through three, I felt like I had a good handle on the game and what it could do, so my curiosity came out and so did Stories By Jes2G lol. That's when this story started to get real messy LOL. My heir had a girlfriend, but the relationship wasn't really going anywhere so he started seeing this other girl. But he didn't know girlfriend #1 was pregnant! He fell all the way in love with girlfriend #2, moved her in (learned my lesson from gen 1!!), married her, and knocked her up. They had a happy little family for a while. No sooner than he forgot about girlfriend #1, the bastard son showed up at his door all casual like my mama said you're my daddy...nice house! 🤣 That did not go over well. As a matter of fact, his wife was very upset and tried to burn off some steam on the treadmill. But she was an elder and... RIP Adalynn.
Generation four was when I learned just how much you can learn about your characters just by letting them be autonomous and watching them go. The tragedy of this generation was what happens when two horny teens get married out of high school lol. Those two had nothing in common and led two separate lives under the same roof. That was partly because I was focused on making them complete their aspirations, but also they rarely interacted with each other when they were autonomous. The wife was a career woman and was not interested in having a third child. But the first two were girls, and this legacy was a strict patriarchy and I needed a son. That caused a lot of drama in the story, but he found a way to make her give in. But things were never the same, and she eventually divorced him and left the kids which of course affected the next generation.
Every generation up til like...seven had some kind of drama/tragedy, and I didn't realize it until I stopped and read the story myself. I was like WHOA! This is so much! This is what I put my readers through? LOL I made sure to tone things down in the second half of gen 8 because we needed the break. We had peace and happiness for a while followed by a veeery slow burn. Then I kicked the drama back up and ended on a hopeful tragic note, bring back the fall out from the gen 3 mess. It was a great ride!
I used to love building in The Sims 3, but something about this game's building mechanics completely turned me off. To be honest, I don't quite know what it is about building that just infuriates me. So the generations two through like...eight(???), my legacy house was made up of styled rooms lol. I honestly don't know anyone else who even used those things. I'd just piece together those rooms and close them in with walls lol. Needless, the legacy house was very odd and much bigger than it needed to be because of all these oddly shaped blank spaces. 😅 I made use of every single one of them too!

I uh. It's December. You may or may not have noticed.
I did Nanowrimo, spent my "creative projects half hour" slot on that, and completely forgot about posting my fourth year of daily drawings for October. Nevertheless, into my my art tag it goes.
In a fit of petty first world anarchism, I did Inktober's prompts, but digitally.
This year's been busy, so I tried to stick to my half an hour per day drawing time slot. (I say, gritting my teeth, forehead vein bulging as I look at the parts I don't like.)
I am forcing myself to acknowledge that the past year—with its approximately 130 hours of drawing practice—has resulted in some improvements to line control, anatomy, and perspective, but I'm definitely also reaching the point where several of these feel too embarrassing to post.
In fact I only picked nine, instead of the ten I did the last few years.
Please read some of the captions because at least I do think I'm funny.
Dreams was an auspicious start. I like this Bakugirl.
Fortune... exists. I should've been a little bolder with the fairy actually like, interacting with the dragon woman's palm, really being present there, instead of just sort of posed on top. I also should've made the table smaller, dragoness is supposed to be huge.
I immediately decided I was doing some kind of pair for Angel and Demon. Please ignore that the actual prompt was not Devil. It's close enough right? If I had more time and ambition the devil girl's net was going to be made of serpents. I did not really capture her "shouting" expression the way I wanted, but now that I'm looking it's not execrable. Angel's dreads are definitely more half hearted than I wanted. This one did at least convince me that my next batches of studies need to be of clothed figures.
Rise got my favorite concept for the whole month. Cause it's bread. Get it? eh? Please enjoy our little alchemist workshopping her lines for introducing her magnum opus. Tried to lean into cartoonish with her face.
I spent a solid 10 minutes trying to decide what to do for Dagger, and then all of a sudden it was like a voice spoke to me: "Do fan art of one of your favorite games of all time." I wish the Final Fantasy series hadn't abandoned that more stylized, cartoonish vibe. You know, one of the most interesting things about drawing is realizing that I am 100% looking at things that I have previously—apparently!—only kind of glanced at. Like I would not, before drawing this, have described Garnet as having, to be frank, a prodigious bosom, significant badonkerage, or ginormous dobonhonkeros. To be frank. And a really low cut top to boot. But here we are. I like this face. Wish I'd chosen a more dynamic pose.
For Shallow I decided to do a little snippet of something from one of my stories (coincidentally one related to what I was working on in November). The anatomy is a bit iffy. And even though she's literally supposed to have been buried in a shallow hole in the woods, I had to add a gravestone because I wasn't confident how well that showed.
Rush is another one where I was not at all sure what I was going to do until the brain noise intruded, "Firetrucks are red because red's the color of communism and they're always Russian[Rushin'] around." What was I thinking with that background?
Hilariously, I didn't notice the final prompt of Inktober and how well Fire went with my spontaneous choice for the previous day. It's only now that I'm posting that I realized during export I must have turned off the "background" layer that shows a(n attempt at a) continuation of the previous background. I recall being really frustrated trying to get the foreshortening right on this mischievous fire-ninja jill-o-lantern's arms, but it doesn't look so awful now.
It's fascinating feeling myself more fully move into the phase of learning where I can tell that I'm on the cusp of drawing this or that noticeably better, I just have to push, put a bit more time into individual pieces. And of course, practice.
Next I think I'll aim for at least four and up to twelve studies of clothed figures. Might stop to try and find some good hints on drawing a good fire, or something that suggests dirt.
But I also have some writing to do. I got engaged in my Nanowrimo project. I'm finishing something else up that a friend and I have worked on in bits for years. Of course, what I'd really like is to do some writing and drawing practice every day. It hasn't happened yet, but then again, between picking up drawing supplies and actually starting to practice daily, "It hasn't happened yet" was the case for years.
Until it wasn't.

Tumblr media
Lara rolled over and groaned. The sun wasn’t exactly up yet but the orange and yellow tones were starting to peek through the window causing her to stir awake. As her eyes fluttered open, she realized she didn’t recognize where she was. Her heart dropped and she quickly made notice of her surroundings. The minute she saw Angel to her right, she felt a breath of relief escape her mouth before letting reality set in. 
Of course, she ended up at Angel’s house. Her next move was to notice he didn’t have a shirt on and she was miraculously missing her other clothes too. Her eyes shut, the sigh she was letting out was in defeat. There was nothing she could do about any of this now, except settle her mind on the fact that she slept with Angel. Again. 
Luckily, Angel was a deep sleeper. This allowed Lara to grab what she could around her to get dressed and get out without having to deal with, well, Angel and everything this situation entailed. She didn’t pay mind to what she was putting on, she just needed to cover up so she could get to her car and get home.
Lara had successfully maneuvered her way out of the house and into her car but when she was met with a picture of her and her best friend in the sun visor, thats when more of reality hit her. 
“Frankie. Fuck.” She thought to herself as she checked the clock in her car. 7:29AM. 
Her eyes looked down to notice she was wearing Angel’s tank top. A deep sigh escaped from her mouth. If Frankie was home, she would have known immediately what happened. If not for leaving with Angel and coming back home in the morning, but what would seal the deal was the fact Lara was wearing his shirt. She banged her head against the headrest of her car a couple times before she came to a realization. Frankie had stayed at EZ’s, there was a really good chance she wasn’t home yet, and Lara would take those odds. With that, she quickly sped through the early morning light traffic that Santo Padre had to get home. 
Now, Frankie finding out wouldn’t have been the end of the world. It was her best friend, and if anything, she was dating EZ, she’d get it. But that was the thing, Frankie and EZ knew what they were doing, they had mutually agreed to being a couple. All Angel and Lara had mutually agreed on was sex, and even that was strictly consent based, there had been no conversation about labels, fuck buddies, friends with benefits, none of that. If anything, Lara expected things to go back to how they were years ago when they first had sex. Angel ignoring her and Lara making life hell for him. It was the only logical explanation, plus history tended to repeat itself, right? 
There’s a saying that when you leave it to chance, all of the sudden you don’t have any luck left. Well, in this case, that was a lie. Lara pulled up to her house and quietly tip toed her way through. As she trekked down the hallway, she glanced into Frankie’s room since the door was open. Empty. She hadn’t been home. Her head dropped back as she smiled and then made her way to her room. 
After a quick shower and a short lived nap, Lara was being woken up by the ringing of her cellphone on her nightstand. 
She let out a grumble instead of a pleasantry for whoever was on the line. 
“Come to the clubhouse in about an hour. We need to talk.” Bishop’s voice said not even bothering to comment on her grumpiness.
Who needed alarm clocks or roosters when the eerie call of your father who sounded just about ready to kill someone did just the same thing. 
Lara shot up out of bed, “El que?” The shock had been so real that she flipped to Spanish like it had been her first language. 
“10:30. The Club. It’ll just be for a few minutes.” Bishop said still with the same firmness in his tone. He didn’t give her a chance to respond, just hung up leaving Lara in bed, hungover, half asleep, wondering what what going on. 
Her head began to fill with thoughts as she drove down to the clubhouse. Had her Dad solved the issue? Had he dug himself deeper? Had he dug the club deeper? Had he fucked up? Was he sending her away for good? The thoughts weren’t going to stop, she thought by stopping for coffee, it would give her something to enjoy but the caffeine just made her spiral more, until she started to drive down the dirt road towards the club. 
That was the funny thing about getting behind that metal fence, it ironically felt safe. It felt quiet. It felt calm. There was a peace to knowing that all of the people here would have her back, not just because she was the El Presidente’s daughter but because they all did genuinely care about her. 
The yard was packed, there had to be 2 times the amount of bikes there. For the first time, Lara hadn’t recognized half of them, but she did recognize one of them. 
Tio Marcus. Curses flooded her brain as her thoughts went back to being extremely negative. Lara now stood in front of the club, staring at all the bikes. The feeling of safety was still there but it was being pushed to the back burner. Nervousness, anxiety, pressure, and the most prominent, scared. All words she’d use to describe her thoughts right now. She would give anything to go back to last night, where nothing mattered. But instead, she was here, while reality started to hit her like a brick. 
“Lara!” A voice said from behind her causing her to jump and get startled. 
“Sorry,” EZ grinned getting a bit of enjoyment out of startling her. 
“Yea, the sympathy is dripping off you.” Lara rested her hand on her chest to catch her breath. “How’s Frankie doing?” 
EZ’s grinned stayed plastered on his face, “back asleep, I gave her Tylenol, a granola bar, and a gallon of water to keep her hydrated while I’m on prospect duties,” he explained, “planning to bring her lunch later.” 
Lara nodded as he talked. 
“I didn’t expect to see you here so early,” EZ added as they stood in front of the clubhouse. 
“Came to talk to Bish.” She pointed inside. 
With a nod, EZ began walking towards the building, Lara in tow, “They’re in templo.” he informed her. 
Lara froze for a minute. “All of them?” She pointed towards the bikes, “do you know why they’re all here? What’s going on?” Lara was starting to spiral. 
EZ turned to face her and pointed at the prospect patch on his kutte, “Your guess is as good as mine.” And with that he entered the club. 
That was a lie. Lara’s guess was most definitely way better than EZ’s, but she also didn’t want to believe it. With a deep breath, she followed behind EZ and just as she entered the club, templo was over and the large amount of Mayans were exiting the room. None of them looked twice at the girl, or even once for that matter, not even the ones that she had known. It made her think that maybe whatever this was about had nothing to do with her, it was just some larger club business, which Lara would gladly accept. She was turning now towards the templo doors that were still open, sneaking a peak to see that the head patch members were still in there. She managed to get a glimpse of Bishop and Marcus before the doors closed again. 
Lara didn’t have enough time to sigh because in the next second Angel was in front of her. 
“Sup?” 
Lara was frowning, there was so much going on in her head at this moment, everything with the Calaveras and Bishop and now Angel, who was standing in front of her, neutral faced, talking to her like nothing happened. 
“Sup?” She repeated his question. While she was really questioning it, Angel took it as she was genuinely asking. 
“You left your shirt at my house,” he smirked. 
It was said at a whisper which made Lara smirk but she was still a bit confused. 
“Maybe you can come by later and pick it up,” he shrugged trying to keep a cool composure. 
Lara was honestly shocked, she hadn’t expected Angel to give her the time of day and here he was trying to get her to come over again. It was better than the last time, and honestly, she was on board, so she went with it. 
“I took yours by mistake this morning.” 
“Yea, mistake.” Angel nodded. 
“Hungover, half asleep, you know, wasn't paying much attention.” Lara smirked. 
“Right, totally makes sense.” Angel nodded. 
“I mean, if you want I can stop by tonight, pick mine up, drop yours off.” Lara continued. 
“That works,” Angel faked like he was thinking pretty hard. 
“See you tonight, then.” Lara turned as she saw the templo doors open.
She didn’t have a moment to process what really happened, she was already focused on the main reason she was here. 
Marcus had walked by her, offering nothing but a nod, but Lara could tell there was something off with the way he looked at her, he normally would stop and chat, but this time he was leaving before she could even wave. Her eyes moved towards the next few people that passed by, president patches from the other clubs, offering her no glance or acknowledgement. Finally, Bishop walked out and they made eye contact. 
There was so much tension between them. Lara felt it. Bishop felt it. 
“Come on, let’s go outside.” He said and before Lara could argue he was already halfway out the door. 
They stood against the railing of the porch, watching Marcus get on his bike and leave. Once he was gone, Bishop spoke up. 
“If you get any notes, any calls, any in person run ins, any fuckin’ morse code messages for all I care, you tell me immediately. You don’t wait till you see me, you call me immediately. I don’t care if you think it’s not from them, I want to know. I want you home by 10, everyday, if you’re working, me or one of the guys will follow you home. No more going out to God knows where with God knows who.” Bishop was firm in his words. 
Lara opened her mouth to argue. 
“I’m not done.” Bishop didn’t even look at her. “If there’s so much as a fuckin post it note on your car, I’m putting someone on you 24/7. I’m not going to lose you over this.” His eyes were still staring straight off. 
The urge to argue was gone. Lara knew there was no version of this conversation where she’d end up winning or getting anything that she wanted out of this. So she decided to go the route where she metaphorically punched him in the gut. After a long pause and a deep breath, Lara spoke up. 
“You lost me a long time ago, Bishop.” She began to take a couple steps down the stairs. “Don’t worry, if one of the Calaveras sends pigeon mail to me you’ll be the first to know.” She called out now that she was further away. 
Bishop stood there, ruminating on her first words. You lost me a long time ago. Bishop. Bishop. She used his first name. Which wasn’t uncommon; she had used his name before, especially when talking to other people, but this was different. He heard the sting behind her tone, he felt it. But regardless his number one concern was her safety. And that’s what he was doing. That’s what he was always doing. Whether he was doing it right or not. 
_________
Before Lara knew it, it was night time. She briefly checked in with Frankie earlier in the day and she was spending another night at EZ’s. There were pros and cons to that. For one, it meant that she had no one to talk to about what happened. This wasn’t something she wanted to explain over text, but she also needed to explain the audacity of Bishop, and maybe get a dose of reality from Frankie but either way she just needed that support. On the other side, it meant that EZ and Frankie would be occupied tonight, which made sneaking to Angel’s, well, less sneaky. 
Which is what brought her where she currently was. Sitting in front of Angel’s house. It was a little intimidating if she was being honest with herself. They had a history, and she wasn’t sure if she fully trusted him yet. But there was something there. There always was. It was also different this time around, for a multiple of reasons. She felt more vulnerable, which was likely because of everything happening with The Calaveras and Bishop and yet the butterflies were on level 10. 
Lara knew if she sat there any longer, she’d psych herself out. So she grabbed his shirt which was in the passenger seat and made her way to his front door and knocked. 
Angel opened the door and it was one of the first times she saw him (outside of their intimate interactions), without a kutte on since their first time meeting. She was taken aback a bit which is why she paused after his greeting but quickly recovered. 
“Your shirt.” She lifted up the tank and kept eye contact with him. 
“Right. My shirt.” He smiled and opened the door more and nodded to invite her in. 
She stepped inside, even though she was there in the morning, there wasn’t really much time to look around and take in his place like she could now. It looked like a frat boy’s house. Random flags and signage, old black leather furniture, a mini fridge even though the kitchen was not too far. It was very, Angel which gave her a bit of a giggle. 
“Nice place.” Lara was still looking around. 
Their conversation hadn’t gone past 4 words a piece, yet. 
“Ain’t much, but it’s home.” Angel shrugged, moving to the mini fridge and grabbing beers for the both of them. 
Okay 5 words. They were getting somewhere. 
Angel approached Lara with the beers, startling her a bit. “Oh, no, I’m not drinking tonight.” She shook her head and pushed the beer away a bit. 
Angel’s eyebrows raised in shock, he wasn’t sure if he had ever heard Lara Losa turn down a drink before. He wasn’t going to push her, though. He nodded and went into the kitchen and grabbed two waters. 
“You don’t have to not drink just because I’m not.” Lara grabbed the water from him. 
“Nah, it’s cool. I still feel like I’m fighting a hangover anyways.” Angel shrugged and plopped down on the couch. Lara nodded and stood awkwardly still looking around his house. 
“You can sit down, you know.” Angel tilted his head next to him. 
Lara hesitated before she moved to sit next to him, letting her mind go a mile a minute before pushing every thought to the back of her mind and sitting down on the couch to his left. 
“It doesn’t have to be awkward.” Angel said as he turned the TV on to have some background noise. “I had a good time with you last night, even before we came back here.” Angel boldly said. 
The girl wasn’t expecting that from Angel, and he definitely wasn’t either, which is why he started to back pedal. “But whatever you wanna do, you know. We can act like nothing happened, go back to how things were, you know.” 
“Is that what you want?” Lara turned to face him even though he was nervously staring at the TV, “to go back to how things were between us?” 
Angel should have thought before he spoke, but that rarely ever happened so he just blurted out something. “Whatever you wanna do, you know?” He shrugged like they were talking about traffic or the weather not the situation between the two of them. 
Lara in that moment felt her confidence overtake her. She saw through Angel’s charades and knew that the power was in her hands, it was up to her, and that made Lara thrive. 
“I think the sex is too good to go back to how things were” Lara smiled. 
Angel’s head snapped to her, stunned at her words but managed to let a smile build on his face. 
Lara’s nostrils flared as she tried to hold back her laugh as they stared at each other before they both let a belly cackle out. 
“So what are we watching?” Lara got comfortable on the couch, the two of them weren’t touching yet, but it was progress from when she first got there. 
______
It had been 4 hours since Lara first arrived, she was currently sprawled out on the couch, her shoes off, swimming in one of Angel’s hoodies, and cuddled up next to the man. 
“I can’t believe we’ve been watching Guy’s Grocery Games for the past 4 hours.” Lara said as she checked her phone, 9:27PM and a notification from Bishop. 
9:26PM Bishop Losa: Home. 10PM. Don’t forget. 
“I mean, it’s the superstar challenge, we gotta see it through,” Angel said as he innocently looked down seeing the message on her phone but quickly looking away. 
“Wish we could but, I gotta get out of here. Plus this is the last episode on for the rest of the night,” Lara leaned over to the coffee table and grabbed the remote and pressed the button that allowed the tv guide to pop up. “See, Kitchen Nightmares is on next.” Her body fell back into his. 
“Man, I fuckin’ hate that show.” Angel said, wrapping his arm around the girl effortlessly as her head rested on his chest. “Makes me never want to go to a fuckin’ restaurant ever again.” He shivered. 
“You easily have 4 different kinds of takeout in your fridge as we speak, Angel. That’s never happening.” She went to stand up. 
“You leavin’ already?” Angel changed the subject. 
“Yea, gotta get home.” Lara said leaving the rest to be interpreted, but Angel wasn’t going to let her go that quickly. 
“Bishop got you on a time clock?” He frowned, he didn’t get up or even change his position on the couch. 
“You shoulder surfing?” Lara frowned realizing he had read her text. 
“Didn’t mean to,” he adjusted his posture and was now leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. 
“What do you know?” Lara asked, sitting on the wooden table so the two were eye to eye. 
This was the million dollar question, what did he know. What was she going to share. Were they going to trust each other. 
The answer was yes, but also no. 
“I know Bishop’s got some personal shit going on that he brought to the table.” Angel started, trying to tiptoe around the templo meeting this morning. 
“Bishop?” Lara frowned and nodded. “Sure let’s go with that.” Lara wanted to leave it at that, but she couldn’t. “I get that what happens in templo is sacred, blood brothers, secret spit handshakes and all that shit, but I know Bishop said my name at that table this morning. What do you know?” 
Angel thought about it, this was the first time they were hanging out as whatever they were and he was already seeing the consequences of messing with the club president’s daughter. 
“You know I can’t tell you about templo, but I can tell you that Bishop is serious about keeping you safe.” 
Lara nodded, “So you know that I have to be home by 10.” 
“I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. I know there’s some shit that went down with The Calaveras and I know that the day I saw you at the main square you were having issues with someone wearing a Calaveras rocker.” Angel shared, hoping that would be enough. He knew a little more, but there was a line he had to tow when it came to this. 
“So observant.” Lara sarcastically joked. 
“What happened?” Angel asked, now flipping the interrogation onto the girl. 
“I used to date one of the guys from The Calaveras, bad breakup, they’re taking it out on Bishop.” Lara told a partial truth. 
Angel didn’t push for more, he just stood and stuck his hand out to the girl who stared at it for a minute before taking it in her own. 
“Well, I guess we better get you home before the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella.” 
“10, and I think I’m more of a Mulan.” Lara said with her hand wrapped in Angel’s who looked at her a bit confused. 
“Disobeying my father, but still fighting for his honor, you know.” Lara grinned. 
Angel took the bait that Lara probably didn’t even realize she left. “Well if you’re disobeying, you might want to go to my bedroom.” Her eyes went wide in shock not expecting Angel to be so bold. “To get your clothes, from this morning.” He smiled even harder knowing he had made the girl blush with her assumption. 
“Right, my clothes.” Her head moved up and down as she stepped away from the tall man and inched her way to his bedroom. “You know I think I might need your help to find them.” She turned to him with a fake confused look on her face. 
“Well, you know me, I’m a helper.” Angel’s shoulders shrugged and followed her through the house. 
“I sure do.” Lara laughed as their hands intertwined and they disappeared into the room.

Find the word game tag!
Thanks @verba-writing for the tag. My words are silence, smoke, taste, shallow and water. I wasn’t able to find any for shallow unfortunately but for the rest of the words I found them in my WIP: The Mirror Effect. (Warning swearing)
Silence:
Taelor was never a morning person, not that Lucille was any better. In fact, Taelor was grumbling about a really important math quiz. “You know, if you actually studied, the tests would be a whole lot easier.” Lucille told her. Taelor shot her a look and the rest of the walk was in silence. This is Lucille’s first year of high school and Taelors third year. It’s been a month since school started the air was starting to get a little cooler, the trees haven’t started changing yet but today was dreary.
Smoke:
“Luci!” Noah said suddenly. The pasta was overflowing causing some smoke to come up from the stove. “Oh crap!” They both bumped into each other trying to get to the pot. “Just, wait.” Noah said. The smoke detector started going off, Max started howling in response. Lucille frantically grabbed a dish towel and fanned the smoke detector until it stopped beeping, Max thankfully stopped howling. Noah only sighed. “I forgot you don’t know how to cook.” Lucille glared at him. “What the FUCK is going on?” Taelor asked in her pink bathrobe with a tissue in her hand. She stood in front of the table with her arms crossed and an annoyed expression. “You let her cook?” Taelor sighed. “Why’d you have the noodles on so high?” Noah asked Lucille ignoring Taelor. “To cook it faster duh…” “Really? You clearly weren’t paying attention then. And next time just leave it on medium.” “Or maybe not cook at all.” Taelor remarked.
Water:
He stopped short. “What the fuck is this?” He asked, picking up the meatloaf that was still in the fridge. “I don’t recommend eating that.” “Yeah. no shit. What is it though?” “Craigs meatloaf.” “I thought you two were exaggerating, but damn.” “Yeah, unfortunately it’s that bad.” Noah sighed and put the dish back into the fridge. He looked some more, picking out a stick of butter and the bowl that held the eggs. “You guys had eggs this morning right?” Lucille nodded. “Shit.” He put everything back. “We can make some pasta or something, we got those big jars of spaghetti sauce in the bottom cabinet.” She pointed to the bottom left cabinet closest to the fridge. “That’s fine with me. Wanna help?” “Sure, but aren’t you sick?” Lucille asked as she grabbed the pasta from their closet pantry next to the stove, while Noah grabbed the big pot and filled it up with water, he shrugged and said, “Must’ve been a fluke.” He also cut up some garlic they found behind the salt on the counter, throwing in the salt and some pepper seasoning into the already boiling spaghetti sauce.
Taste:
Taelor had been very irritable the rest of that week. She had told Blair about it, they agreed it could be something about the book. Her mom and Craig weren’t affected, Noah was definitely affected though. Weirdly it was just her siblings, maybe adults weren’t affected. Then again, Lucille thought Craig’s cooking was starting to taste better, so maybe it has affected him.

X, Y, & Z!

x - a trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.
hahhaahhaha character with an inferiority complex learning/being told that they're enough on their own/when those characters get in character content made of them ijuhygtfguiouygf because a lot of times they get misinterpreted or ignored </3 also. hanahaki <3
y - what are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
OH! my number one secondhand fandom is wwdts thanks to @chasvchalilah <3 i have my Guy (colin robinson) and i feel like i basically know the whole plot thanks to shira and her incredible patience for all my questions and her kindness in telling me like. literally everything lol actually this reminds me i think the colin post shira tagged me in is in my drafts and that i actually forgot to reblog it. hm. gonna go find it after i post this lol also csm because grace watched it and i know it's not really a show that i'd like so i'm living it vicariously through them and moth and the other csm moots <3
z - just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
ah this is dangerous omg okay oh gosh okay what do i choose okay so this is a very random thing to rant about, but it's fan-related so. but i lowkey hate in chatfics how writers always give characters different contact names. more often than not, i look at them and say "they would never choose that name" / "they would never name that person that" / "they would throw a fit if their name got changed to that" and like. it's just so irritating. i honestly think most blorbos would just call each other by their names in their contacts like. and if you're going to give them "silly" names (bc most times they just... aren't even funny to me personally), they don't even specify who is who! most of the time, i see them say something MAYBE at either the beginning or end of the first chapter and then usually never again even if the characters start changing each other's names! so it's just hard to keep up. i actually love chatfics and think they're such a cool idea and a great creative writing exercise, but they HAVE to be done right because they can go poorly/ooc SO quickly. not all characters use correct grammar, but some do. some will use capitalization and punctuation while others don't. some characters will use emojis or send memes and recite memes, OTHERS WON'T and you NEED to be able to figure this stuff out. also it is SO unrealistic for all the characters to constantly trauma dump because half these characters refuse to "show weakness" or don't know How to talk to people about what's wrong. oH AND ALSO not all characters are so unhinged in chatfics my God the way people write certain characters in how they text and what they text is so icky because it's just too unhinged we gotta stop giving characters that treatment ugh uh anyways also kenji is underused in the show and underrated by fans. there should be more kenji content. also unpopular opinion, but kenji is a more interesting character than chuuya and how does chuuya have like... 20k more fics in the chuuya tag than kenji has in his own tag? nothing against chuuya - i like him! i do! but why is he treated more like a main character than kenji:( maybe i'm just sad bc kenji is my favorite and barely has ANY content. there are SO few kenji-centric fics out there and a lot of them also are kenji & chuuya friendship which... admittedly, i LOVE but i feel like there's more kenji & chuuya than kenji & the ada members which is so sad??? also he deserves better in the show! smh he wasn't even in the s5 trailer (neither were junichiro and naomi ugh so upset about that) like pls. let everyone treat kenji more like an important member of the team bC HE IS😭

R/nance is such a weird ship. First of all most people just strip the characters down, they are barely recognizable. Then they just gloss over the fact that Robin is Steve's bff and that he would be happy for her dating his ex he still has feelings for. And then people get pissy when Steve is even involved, as if he's not literal the center of the ship because he has history with both characters. Also Robin wouldn't just abandon Steve, or she at least would feel guilty about it, but most of the time she just leaves him in the fics and makes fun of him with Nancy. Same with St/ddie, idk both ships just infuriate me because the headcanons in the fandom are so awful, the characters aren't themselves in favor for some ship dynamic.
Also the way Vickie is being ignored or made into a villian just screams biphobia to me. And the argument that she doesn't have enough screentime isn't valid, when one of the hellfire boys, I forgot his name something with G, gets randomly shipped with Will so people come up with so many headcanons.
I'm not a huge B/ler fan because like R/nance people just forget about the third party, in this case El. Like I'm sorry if my brother would date my ex idk if I would be okay with it. Or Will would feel terrible same as Mike. Maybe in the later future but realistically they wouldn't get together right now. Even if El doesn't make it, it would take a long time.
See, I like Byler because in my ideal "selectively ignores parts of canon I don't like" world, I believe Mike and El never should have gotten together in the first place. I get Mike having a puppy crush because omg a girl who doesn't immediately ignore him and also she has super powers??? yeah, I get that. What I don't understand is why the hell the Duffers thought it would be a good idea to make El interested in Mike when she barely understands the concept of friendship in S1, let alone romantic attraction to another person. Stranger Things should have focused way more on El building platonic (familial or friendship) bonds with other characters, because those relationships would have been so more interesting than whatever the hell we got with mi/even, because the ship did a huge disservice to both El and Mike. In my perfect canon, Mike/El never would have happened, and byler would have just been playing the long game since S1.
R/nance is just not a vibe and everything I've seen about it has the characters being such warped versions of themselves that I don't get the appeal. Granted, I don't like Nancy to begin with, so I was never going to like the ship anyway. Ignoring Vickie definitely feels biphobic in some ways, but it's also clear that the fandom doesn't think queer ships count if they aren't between main characters. Like... sorry guys, it's not a win for diversity when the characters didn't have a queer arc to begin with and were just put together at the end sloppily for points.
I have zero opinions on st/ddie right now because I blocked the tags by August, but honestly the entire "fruity four" as a concept makes me want to smash my head in with a rock.

The LORD showed me (once again) the Pokémon logo. Recall he showed me the Pokémon card that had the number 50 on it and the warning ⚠️
👀
This time he showed me the ball. Doesn’t it kinda remind you of the eight ball 🎱 👀❓
Tumblr media
Please be careful babes.
Also someone could be playing childish games with you.
Ignore them and don’t fall for it. They want to pull you back into some drama. AVOID THEM AT ALL COST because it could cost you your life.

This also reminds me of another prophetic word I have not released yet.
Also the LORD did say he was scattering the plans of some enemies but that doesn’t mean you should be protected
Pray about this message. It’s not for everyone.
PS. It was also revealed to me that Toronto would be heating up as well 🔥😖🔥
I did receive a confirmation song for the Bentley for those who are Jamaican or from the Caribbean about someone following you to keep tabs on you. Recall I had mention that there was a scratch from the paw of an animal. If you watch the video closely you’ll see that there. Not just that, the song is called GULLY CREPPA and in the video there is also a blue car. I can’t make this stuff up babes. My brother randomly shared this with me and I was shocked 😳
Someone’s car may be vandalized.
youtube
Jamaicans and island people are we ok? 😖
Just letting yall know. God is hoping he can save more lives 🛟
PS. Forgot to mention I heard
“He’s collecting”
😭
God will say to me about the devil “he’s coming to collect” which means, in context, the devil wants what is owed to him 👀 So those who are playing with witchcraft powers (male or female) have now been put on notice 📆 The demons want what they were promised and for some of you, someone offered up your life 🩸 as a demonic sacrifice and the debt went UNPAID because guess what? You’re still alive thanks be to Jesus.
The devil loves the blood of God’s chosen but God loves you MORE. He will fight for your life.
PPS: this could also be someone who has killed before 🔪 and has collected some bodies ⚰️ Just sayin. Gotta keep it 💯 with my babes. It sounds morbid but it’s the truth and sometimes the truth is ugly.
I had a vision of Lucy too. Yup and one crazy fact about coming under the attack from Satan is he will accuse you using the sins of your past and or he will use the lies told about you AND/OR he will use scripture against you. That last point is the hallmark of his arsenal. Oh yes babes and I have been there. Just like he said to Jesus:
Tumblr media
As I have experienced. He will even make you attempt suicide manipulating you into thinking it is the right thing to do because you are in so much pain 💔 especially after or during a fast when you are weakest just as he tempted Jesus….however spiritually, that’s when you are at your strongest.
This is also why he is called
“The Accuser”
He sets out to make us feel UNWORTHY.
Revelations 12… “coincidentally” today is May 12th.
Tumblr media
It’s crazy because at the grocery store I saw a price tag offering 50 points on the SCENE 🎬 points program if I bought an item. Now I’m seeing this article 👀⤵️
