When You’re Ready
Pairing: Akk/Ayan
W/c: 1.1k
Tumblr media
“I really want to kiss you right now.”
Ayan ran his fingers through Akk’s hair, beaming at him lovingly. “Then do it,” he whispered. 
A wide smile broke out on Akk’s face, a quiet laugh slipping out of his mouth as he pressed his lips to Ayan’s. 
“Finally,” Ayan sighed as he gave Akk one kiss after another. “I’ve been waiting all day for this.” 
“So have I,” Akk breathed, carding his fingers through Ayan’s hair and pulling him closer, kissing him deeper and deeper. 
“I love you so much,” Ayan whispered through kisses to Akk’s cheeks. 
Akk nuzzled his face into Ayan’s hair as he whispered, “Can you… say that again?”
“I love you, Akk,” he said, kissing Akk’s ear. “I love you. I love you.”
Akk clung to his shoulders as he practically absorbed Ayan’s kisses. His kisses decorated his neck, slowly making their way along his collarbone and to his sternum. “I love you,” Akk whispered back to him, his eyes falling shut as his head tilted back against the pillow. 
Ayan gave him slow, gentle kisses down his chest and stomach, eventually reaching the small area of skin at the hem of his shirt. He slid a finger underneath his shirt, gently caressing the soft skin hiding there. “Can I?”
Akk nodded blissfully, not opening his eyes even for a second. 
With a sly smile, Ayan lifted up Akk’s shirt and splayed out his fingers against Akk’s bare chest. He could feel the gentle thumping of his heart against his hand, sending an energy of anticipation up his arm, straight to the center of his chest. “Kiss me,” Ayan said breathily, to which Akk quickly complied. 
The two carried on kissing like this for what could have been hours yet could have been mere seconds. Neither of them could be sure. 
As they kissed, Akk started to feel that gnawing sense of worry in the pit of his stomach, that feeling he had grown so accustomed to. His breath became more rapid and his heartbeat grew faster, but not in a good way. 
“Aye”.
Ayan brought his head up from Akk’s neck and looked into his eyes. He saw the unsettled gaze and instantly backed away a bit. “What’s wrong?” He asked, voice heavy with concern.
“I’m scared,” he whispered, his eyes wide and lips trembling ever so slightly. 
“We can stop-”
“No!” Akk interjected strong before reeling himself back in. “No,” he whispered again. “I want to.”
“But?”
“I’ve never…”
Ayan nodded understandingly. “And… are you ready? You can say no.” 
“I’m ready. I want this, I’m just…” Akk pressed his lips into a thin line and looked into Ayan’s eyes, his brows scrunching nervously. 
“Come here,” Ayan whispered sweetly as he sat up and pulled Akk into a hug. “It’s okay to be nervous.” 
“Were you?” he asked timidly. “For your first time?” 
Ayan nodded, smiling knowingly. “I was… sitting in bed with this guy that I was totally in love with, and there was nothing that I wanted more than to show him just how much I loved him. I… tried to be cool and collected on the outside, but on the inside, I was terrified because I had no idea what I was doing. But then I would remember who I was with, this gorgeous, sweet man with the cutest smile and kindest heart I’ve ever seen,” he ran his thumb across Akk’s lips, blushing as he did so, “and I realized I had nothing to be afraid of, because if there was anyone I was willing to look stupid with, it was him.”
Akk brought his hand to grasp Ayan’s wrist, feeling his pulse pounding there. “He sounds really special,” he whispered.
“He is,” Akk beamed. “And I would never want him to be afraid to let me down either. He deserves so much more than that.” 
“How can you be sure,” Akk whispered, “that I won’t let you down?”
“Why would you?” Ayan exclaimed, eyes wide and earnest. “In what universe would you let me down?” He took Akk’s hands and held them close to his chest. “
“In one where I have no experience,” Akk said ashamedly, smiling self-consciously. “In one where… I’m so new to this that I barely know what I want. And I want to show my boyfriend to the night of his life, but I don’t actually know how to do anything.” He leaned back against the headboard and looked up at the ceiling, desperately trying to avoid eye contact with Ayan. 
“Do you know what I want? From our first time?” Ayan said gently, laying on his side next to him. “I want to share something with you that no one else will ever experience. Parts of you that no one else can have, body and soul. I want to hold your face in my hands and look into your coffee-brown eyes and forget about the world. Having it be just you and me in this bed, having a moment. A goddamn beautiful moment, no matter how sloppy or unexperienced. All that awkward stuff, the accidents and the incoordination and bumps in the road, I want that stuff! I want that stuff because it’s real. It’s both of us being new to this and figuring it out together.” He rested his hand on Akk’s waist. “It’s okay if it scares you. Fuck, it scares me too. And if you want to wait and try again another day, that’s fine by me. I don’t want something that supposed to be beautiful to be uncomfortable for you.” 
Akk melted a little bit more after each word, tears welling in his eyes. “You know, I fall more in love with you every time you say something like that.”
“Well, it’s the truth,” Ayan said with a soft smile. “Every word.”
~
When Akk woke the next morning, he was curled up in Ayan’s arms. 
After last night, he wanted nothing more than to kiss Ayan until he dropped. 
They had talked all night, and that was it. Just talking. Just holding each other in bed and telling each other stories. Stories about their lives, their dreams, their fears. Somehow, it had been the most intimate and personal moment of Akk’s life. 
Ayan woke up a while later, smiling up at Akk as soon as his eyes got used to the sunlight. “Hey, beautiful,” he groaned as he stretched.
Akk beamed at him, leaning into give him a sweet kiss on the lips, then resting on his side as he watched Ayan, smiling contently.
“What?” Ayan laughed gleefully.
Akk pressed another kiss to Ayan’s lips. “I’m ready.”

All We Got Now Is Brokeback Mountain
Pairing: Jack/Ennis
W/c: 600
Tumblr media
Chapter 4:
“Soooo what do you think about having a little more fun before we go to bed?” 
Ennis’ eyes went wide, and he started to blush. “A little more fun, huh?” he mumbled, smiling subtly. 
“Yeah,” Jack smirked, sliding over to Ennis and slowly taking his hands. “What do you say, cowboy?”
A shy smile grew on Ennis’ face, and he blushed even deeper. After some time, he nodded bashfully. “Yeah,” he whispered, giving Jack’s hands a soft squeeze. 
Jack held Ennis’ hands tighter and slowly began to walk backwards, pulling him along with him. 
The two of them slowly backed into the bedroom. Ennis closed the door with his foot and pulled Jack against him for a kiss, wrapping his arms around Jack’s waist. Jack placed his hands on either side of Ennis’ face, kissing him deeper, and sliding his hands to his nape. They backed up against the door, Ennis’ back pressed against it, and they kissed each other fervently, hungrily, ardently, as if they hadn’t already been spending the whole day together. 
Ennis’ teeth grazed against Jack’s lower lip, and Jack sighed blissfully, starting to kiss him slower and deeper. He felt his legs starting to tremble, so he leaned closer into Ennis’ embrace, but being closer to him only made him tremble more. 
After some time, their lips parted and they rested their heads together, both of them completely breathless. Ennis closed his eyes and laughed, smiling wide. “God, I can’t get enough of you,” he panted. 
“Well, we don’t gotta stop any time soon,” Jack breathed, nosing Ennis’ cheek.
Ennis grabbed the collar of Jack’s shirt and pulled him in for another brief kiss. “Can I?” he asked, running his fingers over the first few buttons. 
Jack nodded eagerly, and they both started fumbling with each other’s shirts, being too eager to undo the buttons swiftly, and they both just ended up laughing at how jittery they had become. 
“Well, that was graceful,” Jack said, pulling Ennis’ shirt from his shoulders. 
“Shut up,” Ennis said as he tossed Jack’s shirt to the side and pulled him in for a kiss. 
As they kissed, Ennis looped his fingers though Jack’s belt loops and carefully pulled him closer and closer until he was on his lap, straddling his waist. They slowly helped each other to undress, and as the last layer of clothing fell to the floor, Ennis went red again. 
“Why are you all shy now? I’ve already seen everything,” Jack said softly, smirking and biting his lip. 
“Jack?” Ennis said quietly.
“Mn?” Jack hummed contentedly, moving down to kiss Ennis’ chest. 
“You remember that night at the motel?”
Jack leaned back. “Sure,” he answered, raising an eyebrow. “What about it?”
“You remember… after, when we just…”
Jack smiled softly and nodded. “Yeah,” he whispered. 
“Can we do that?” Ennis whispered timidly, his eyes darting from Jack’s eyes to the blanket. 
Jack’s gaze immediately melted, and his smile grew even wider. As he nodded, a small, peaceful sound came from his throat, almost like a hum. He laid Ennis back against the pillows and curled up against him, resting his cheek on Ennis’ chest. 
“I love listening to your heart beating,” Jack said quietly. “I could fall asleep to this.”
Ennis played with Jack’s hair, running his fingers along the loose strands behind his ears. “Jack?”
Jack looked up at him with a sweet smile.
“Come closer,” he whispered. 
Jack slowly rolled over, letting Ennis guide him to where he wanted him. In the end, he ended up laying on top of Ennis, between his legs, chin on his chest. Exactly where he wanted to be. He pressed a little kiss to the center of Ennis’ chest. “I love you,” he whispered.
Ennis beamed down at him. “I love you too,” he whispered back earnestly. He kissed the top of Jack’s head and smiled as he laid back on the pillows.

I’ll Come To You
Pairing: Han Ji Woo/Kang Seo Joon
W/c: 900
Tumblr media
“Jiu jitsu?”
“I’m not sure. Let’s find out.”
Ji Woo craned his neck up to keep kissing Seo Joon, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and holding him as close as he could. It felt like he had been waiting for this for years. Nothing he’d experienced had ever felt like this before, never. His secret dreams didn’t even come close to this. This was something else entirely. The way that Seo Joon’s lips moved against his was mesmerizing and breathtaking, and he felt as if he had never been as close to him as in this moment.
As they kissed, Seo Joon began to smile against his lips, and soon, he couldn’t control the laughter bubbling up from his chest. “I’m sorry,” he giggled, resting his forehead on Ji Woo’s chest. “I’m just… so happy,” he laughed, glancing up at Ji Woo, beaming radiantly.
Ji Woo smiled at him peacefully, reaching up to pat his hair. “Me too,” he whispered.
Seo Joon slowly pulled him up, positioning himself on Ji Woo’s lap as he leaned in for another kiss.
Their kisses got deeper and deeper, and Ji Woo suddenly pulled away, bringing his hand to his lips and looking away.
“Ji Woo?” Seo Joon asked, furrowing his eyebrows in concern. He laid a hand on his shoulder. “Ji Woo?” he asked again.
“…I’m scared,” he whispered, staring fixedly at the ground.
“We don’t have to-”
“No,” Ji Woo interrupted, spinning his head to look Seo Joon in the eyes before becoming shy once again. “…I want to.”
“But?”
“… I don’t know what I’m doing,” he whispered. “I’m not sure… what to expect.”
“Well,” Seo Joon hummed back to him, resting his cheek on Ji Woo’s shoulder, “What do you want it to be like?”
Ji Woo’s ears went pink. “I don’t know,” he mumbled.
Seo Joon smiled widely and nuzzled his face into Ji Woo’s neck. “Aaaaah, yes you do,” he teased. “Look how red your ears are. Look at them!” He tugged on Ji Woo’s earlobe, giggling as Ji Woo got more and more flustered. “Hey,” Seo Joon said, relinquishing and resting his hand on Ji Woo’s waist. “I’m serious. If your nervous, then… I want to help.”
Ji Woo nodded, his ear becoming redder by the second.
“And we don’t have to do anything until you’re ready, I promise,” Seo Joon said softly, pressing a little kiss to Ji Woo’s neck.
Ji Woo nodded again but didn’t say anything. He just looked down at the ground in silence.
Seo Joon could feel him trembling, and he didn’t want to pressure him anymore, so he got off his lap and laid down next to him, yanking on his sleeve, silently encouraging him to lay down with him. When he did, Seo Joon snuggled against him, curling up at his side and holding his hand.
“Be gentle with me.”
“Hm?”
“…That’s what I want,” Ji Woo admitted quietly. “I… I’ve always wanted to take it slowly.”
“That I can do,” Seo Joon smiled, reaching up to cradle Ji Woo’s face and kiss him softly on the lips. “Tell me if you are too nervous or if you just want to stop, okay?”
Ji Woo smiled softly, still blushing, as he leaned in for another kiss. “I don’t want to stop,” he whispered, his cheeks burning bright red.
Seo Joon beamed over at him and kissed him again, the kiss lingering this time. “I love you so much,” he whispered against Ji Woo’s lips.
Ji Woo let out a sigh as he held the back of Seo Joon’s neck and pulled him in for another kiss.
“You’re so beautiful, sweetheart,” Seo Joon hummed as he pressed soft kisses along Ji Woo’s jawline and let his hands wander along Ji Woo’s chest. His started peppering gentle kisses on Ji Woo’s neck, and he reveled in the way that little sighs kept escaping from Ji Woo’s mouth. Every time that Seo Joon whispered little “I love you”s, quiet moans and whimpers bubbled up from the depths of Ji Woo’s chest.
With each kiss, Ji Woo moved his body closer and closer to Seo Joon’s, his hands exploring Seo Joon’s body and wanting desperately to have contact with every inch of skin. He carefully slipped his fingers under Seo Joon’s shirt, his fingertips delicately caressing the strip of bare skin and relishing the feel of the goosebumps that rose on Seo Joon’s skin.
“Being sneaky, are we?” Seo Joon smirked, biting his lip.
“Please,” Ji Woo whispered. “Come to me.”
Seo Joon took Ji Woo’s hand and brought it to the hem of his shirt, nodding softly. As Ji Woo grasped it and pulled it over Seo Joon’s head, Seo Joon carefully undid Ji Woo’s buttons and pulled his plaid shirt off his shoulders. As their shirts fell, Ji Woo climbed on top of Seo Joon and snuggled against his bare chest. He began to kiss every inch of Seo Joon’s chest, slowly and carefully, falling in love a little more after each one.
~
Tears were still steadily falling down Ji Woo’s cheeks as he curled up next to Seo Joon, smiling as he pressed tiny, lazy kisses to his shoulder. “I love you,” he whispered.
A small giggle escaped from Seo Joon’s lips as he wiped one of his own tears away. “I love you too,” he answered, his voice cracking. “This was amazing,” he whispered, his eyes glistening. “Was it… how you wanted it?”
Ji Woo’s face broke into a huge smile and he nodded eagerly, laughing quietly under his breath. “And so much more,” he hummed, leaning in to kiss Seo Joon once again.
“Ji Woo?”
“Hm?”
Seo Joon snuggled closer, tangling his legs with Ji Woo’s. “Hold me,” he whispered.
Ji Woo exhaled softly and nodded, embracing Seo Joon with every ounce of strength he had left in him.

All We Got Now Is Brokeback Mountain
Pairing: Jack/Ennis
W/c: 800
Tumblr media
“Christ, I’m getting old.”
“You’re in your 20s Jack. You’re gonna be just fine.”
“What kind of person has this much back pain in their 20s?” Jack complained, hunching forward even further for emphasis. “I look like an old man.”
Ennis laughed under his breath as he placed his hand on Jack’s lower back. “Come on, cowboy. Let’s get you to bed.”
“Shut up. Now you’re really making me feel old,” he laughed as he held Ennis’ waist and hobbled along with him back to the house. 
Ennis smirked as he helped Jack back into the house. “Well, you did pull your back while gardening.”
“Fuck off,” Jack spat, glancing off to the side and secretly smiling. He would never admit that he loved it when Ennis teased him. It was so unlike him, and his sudden bursts of sarcasm always made Jack’s day a million times better.
When they got to their bedroom, Ennis gently picked Jack up and helped him into bed. “Easy there, love,” Ennis said gently. “Don’t overdo it.”
Jack sighed as his head hit the pillow, instantly closing his eyes. “Thanks,” he breathed.“
You need anything?” Ennis asked quietly, brushing Jack’s hair with his fingers.
“Could you stay?” Jack whispered, looking up at him pleadingly. 
“Only if you don’t complain about being an old man. Bullshit,” he smirked. 
Jack snickered as he nodded at the spot next to him. “Come here.” 
Ennis plopped down at his side and opened up his arm, inviting Jack to cozy up against him. 
Without waiting a single second, Jack snuggled up against the curve of Ennis’ body, resting his head on his arm. “You’re comfy,” Jack murmured, eyes closed.
Jack must have fallen asleep, but he didn’t notice. All of a sudden, when he opened his eyes, he found Ennis gazing at him, eyes sparkling.
“What?” he groaned, his voice groggy from his nap.
“Just enjoying the view,” Ennis smiled fondly. 
Jack snorted and tried to cover up his blush. “Shut up,” he smiled as he rested his arm across his eyes, failing to hide entirely. 
Ennis leaned in and pressed a little kiss to his jaw. “You’re so cute.”
Jack moved his arm and beamed up at him.
“How’s your back, old man?”
Jack groaned again, but much more dramatically. “Same. I’m old. I should just accept it.” 
Ennis laughed and kissed his cheek. “Then how about a massage?”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” Ennis said gently, pressing a kiss to Jack’s neck. “Of course.”
“I love you,” Jack exhaled, looking at him gratefully. 
Of course, you wouldn’t actually ask. Of course, Ennis thought, shaking his head and laughing to himself. “Come here.” He reached over and placed a hand on the small of Jack’s back, helping him sit up, and then Ennis started unbuttoning his shirt for him. As he slid it off Jack’s shoulders, he glanced up, wide-eyed, and saw the way that Jack was staring at him, and he couldn’t help but kiss him. Ennis placed a delicate kiss to Jack’s sternum, holding his waist with a hand on each side. 
Then, Ennis slowly moved to sit behind Jack. He kissed along the gentle curve of Jack’s neck as he got situated, and then started to gently massage Jack’s shoulders. 
Jack melted almost instantly, his eyes fluttering shut and his head falling back against Ennis. “Have I ever told you,” he breathed, “That you’re the fucking best?”
Ennis gave him a half-smile. “Yeah, but it wouldn’t hurt to hear it again,” he laughed.
“Ennis,” he groaned. “You’re the fucking best. I love you so goddamn much.”
“Anytime, love,” he whispered, kissing Jack’s ear. “Mostly because you owe me a massage now.”
That made Jack laugh, truly laugh. “Whatever, man. I’m just gonna enjoy the moment.”
When he had finished massaging Jack’s shoulders, Ennis gently pulled him to lay down. “Come here,” he whispered, lightly placing his hands on Jack’s upper arms and guiding him. As they laid down, Ennis fit himself behind Jack, curling himself against him and cradling him with the curve of his body. “You’re so beautiful,” he whispered as he ran a hand along Jack’s arm, down to the tips of his fingers. 
Jack hummed back at him, barely awake anymore as he was completely blissed out. He leaned his head back against Ennis and looked up at him, grunting as he tilted his chin up.
“Maybe a little needy,” Ennis retorted with a snort before giving him a quick kiss. “
You say that,” Jack said with a smirk, “But I still got that kiss.”
Ennis laughed contentedly as he wrapped his arms around Jack and held him close, giving him a sweet kiss on his nape.

All We Got Now Is Brokeback Mountain
Pairing: Jack/Ennis
Summary: What would have happened if they never separated after that first summer at Brokeback Mountain; Jack and Ennis get a small home in the country.
W/c: 900
Tumblr media
Chapter 2:
“I love you.”
Ennis’ eyes sprung wide open as he stared at Jack, caught completely off guard by his confession. 
Jack was holding his hand and staring out at the horizon as they sat together on a hill overlooking their flock. His thumb was gently stroking the top of Ennis’ hand, rubbing little, aimless patterns on his skin. He could feel Ennis’ heart pounding through his hand, and the longer that Ennis said nothing, Jack’s heart started to do the same. 
“I’m serious,” Jack said, turning to look him in the eye. “I love you, Ennis.”
Ennis continued to stare intently at him, trying to pull the meaning from his eyes. Do you mean that? Do you really mean that?
“I love you, Ennis,” Jack whispered earnestly, as if he could feel his worry.
Tears welled up in Ennis’ eyes, and he looked away as he gasped, choking on his sobs and trying to keep his tears from falling. He spun his feet around so his back was to Jack, and he took his hat off and wiped a hand across his face.
“Ennis,” Jack said quietly, placing a hand on his shoulder, which had started to shake. 
“ ‘m sorry,” Ennis mumbled shakily, trying to pull himself together, but that only seemed to make it worse. He ran his hand over his face again, wiping his tears before they fell and hiding his trembling lower lip. 
“It’s alright,” Jack whispered back as he caressed Ennis’ shoulder. “Don’t say you’re sorry. There ain’t nothing to be sorry about.” He watched Ennis for a moment, holding his shaking shoulder as he silently cried and tried to swallow back his sobs. Jack supposed that there was nothing else that he could do, except for being there with him.
After some time, Ennis glanced over at where Jack’s hand was resting on his shoulder, and then leaned against him, gently pressing his cheek against Jack’s fingers. The small gesture quickly became a cuddle, and as he snuggled against him, he placed a small kiss on Jack’s hand, and his tears started to fall again. 
“Ennis,” Jack whispered. He moved his hand from Ennis’ shoulder and caressed the shell of his ear. When Ennis leaned closer to his touch, he pulled Ennis into a hug. “Come here.”
As soon as Jack’s arm wrapped around him, Ennis let himself fall against his chest and started sobbing uncontrollably. “I love- I love- you. Jack. I love you.”
Jack laughed quietly as he stroked Ennis’ hair and placed a sweet kiss to the top of his head. “I love you.”
“I love you,” Ennis said again, sitting up and looking at Jack completely earnestly. He suddenly started to laugh in astonishment. “I love you,” he beamed through his tears. 
Jack ran his thumb under Ennis’ eyes, gently drying his face, and he cupped Ennis’ cheek with more tenderness than he ever had before. When Ennis leaned into his touch, Jack kissed him. The kiss was slow and lingering, and when Ennis wrapped his arms around Jack, Jack brought his other hand to Ennis’ face and held him. 
As Ennis leaned into the kiss, the two of them slowly fell back onto the grass, kissing each other tenderly as the breeze ruffled their hair. Ennis tangled his fingers in Jack’s hair, pulling him closer so he could kiss him and kiss him and kiss him and never stop. 
“Ennis,” Jack sighed between kisses. He reached up to Ennis’ hands, where they were resting above his ears, and laced their fingers together. He rolled closer to Ennis’ chest until they were completely pressed together.
After they had kissed for a long while, Ennis broke their kiss, looking down at the grass and laughing bashfully. 
“What?” Jack smiled.
“You love me,” he answered sweetly, his blush creeping to the tips of his ears.
“Of course, I do,” Jack grinned, pressing a quick kiss to Ennis’ tear-stained cheek. “Ennis, I swear…” 
Ennis wrapped his arms tightly around Jack once again, holding him as tightly as he could, as if he might slip through his fingers at any moment if he wasn’t careful enough. “You want the truth, Jack? I fall in love with you more every day,” he blushed. “Your smile, and your eyes. And the way you talk, it… might just be the sweetest damn thing I’ve ever heard.”
Now it was Jack’s turn to blush. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out except for a small choking sound and a shy giggle. “How are you so beautiful?” he whispered.
Ennis placed a tender kiss on his lips. “You wanna know something else?”
When Jack nodded, Ennis smiled, his eyes still brimming with tears, and quietly said, “I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to spend the rest of my life talking to you. I’ve never enjoyed just being with somebody before,” he laughed. “But now I can’t imagine a life without you. Without talking to you every day. You’ve made my life beautiful, Jack Twist.” 
Jack kissed him back. “And I want to hear your voice every day for the rest of my life,” he smiled softly, his voice quivering. “You used to be so quiet,” he laughed, drying his eyes. “But then you started talking. Like, really talking. And I couldn’t help falling in love with you.” 
He took Ennis’ hand. 
“It would be the honor of a lifetime to grow old with you, Ennis Del Mar.”

All We Got Now Is Brokeback Mountain
Pairing: Jack Twist/Ennis Del Mar
Summary: What would have happened if they never separated after their first summer on Brokeback Mountain; Jack and Ennis get a small home together in the country.
W/c: 800 
Tumblr media
Chapter 1: 
“Jack, wait.”
Jack poked his head out of his truck window before turning on the ignition. He had something akin to hope glinting in his eyes. “Yeah?” 
Ennis looked down at the ground, shoving his hands deep into his jeans pockets as he shuffled over to Jack’s truck. Once he was just inches from the window, he peaked up bashfully, wincing slightly as the sun shone in his eyes. “…I want to see you again,” he said faintly. 
Jack’s face broke into a wide grin and he sighed. “Oh, thank god,” he laughed, looking up at the sky. “I didn’t know what I was gonna do, never seeing you again,” he said, suddenly very quiet, smiling softly to himself. He reached a hand out the window and reached towards Ennis’. Ennis slowly took it and ran his fingers along Jack’s knuckles, still red from their fight. He squeezed Ennis’ hand tenderly, looking directly into his eyes as he did, falling in love with the way that it made Ennis’ eyes melt instantly. 
Then suddenly, he felt like someone was watching them. Maybe there was, maybe there wasn’t, but either way, the hairs on the back of Ennis’ neck were standing on edge and he couldn’t ignore it. He reluctantly pulled his hand away from Jack’s, his fingertips lingering for a moment longer as they fell to his side. 
“I’m sorry,” Ennis whispered. 
“I know. It’s alright,” Jack whispered back, watching Ennis earnestly. “It’s alright.”
“I’m sorry,” Ennis whispered again. He looked down at the ground and shoved his hands into his pockets again, tightening them into fists. 
“I don’t want to leave,” Jack said. “Not without you.”
“…Then don’t,” Ennis muttered, his eyes pleading. 
A peaceful smile grew on Jack’s face. 
Ennis was sitting on the steps of their front porch looking out at their yard as the sun rose. Their yard. In their house. Their house in the countryside, away from everyone else and with a beautiful view of the mountains. Jack found him sitting in that spot the morning after they had first moved in, and he has found him there every morning since. So, naturally, every morning, Jack brought out two mugs of coffee and sat with him. They usually sat in silence, drinking their coffee, but Jack never minded. He just enjoyed Ennis’ company, and that was more than enough for him.
“I never thought I could have this,” Ennis said one day, taking a sip of his coffee and holding it delicately with both hands. 
“Me neither,” Jack answered from where he was resting his head on Ennis’ shoulder. “It’s like we’re still up there in Brokeback, every day.” He started to laugh. “Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Ennis looked down at his drink, swirling it gently. “Do you ever think about it? About what would have happened?”
Jack nodded, taking a big gulp of coffee and staring out at the distance. “Not my favorite thing to imagine… What do you think would have happened if we didn’t?” 
“Don’t even wanna think about it,” Ennis mumbled, his voice starting to tremble. “Now that we have this… fuck, I could never get it out of my mind. Get you out of my mind. Now that we have this, and I know what it’s like to have this life…”
“You’re getting carried away, Ennis,” Jack said, gently grabbing his arm and giving it a comforting squeeze. “Should have never brought it up.” 
A half smile formed on Ennis’ lips, and he looked back down at his coffee. “Yeah... Suppose you’re right.” He kissed the top of Jack’s hair before messing it up a little bit, laughing to himself. 
Jack sat up and looked him square in the eyes, placing his hand on Ennis’. “I know it’s hard for you. And that it was even harder back then.” 
Ennis leaned in and captured his lips in a long kiss, cradling Jack’s cheek in his hand and holding him close. When their lips parted, Ennis’ brows were still furrowed in concentration, trying to pull back the tears. “I’m okay,” he whispered. 
“I don’t want you to be just okay. I want you to be happy.”
“Jack,” he said, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. “I’m happy. More than I’ve ever been.”
Jack smiled back at him, then rested his head on Ennis’ shoulder once again, snuggling in closer than before. “So am I.”
After some time, Ennis sighed and looked up at the sky. “I’m 25 now, Jack. I’m only 25, and I already have everything I could possibly want. And it’s the weirdest and best fucking life, all at the same time.” He started to laugh. “Does it really get better than that?”
Jack laughed along with him under his breath. “Maybe at 26,” he smiled up at Ennis. “And every year after that.”

You’re What Matters
Pairing: Stede/Ed
Summary: Stede and Edward reunion
W/c: 900

“Heeeeey,” Lucius said cheerily as he opened the door to the captain’s quarters. “Look who’s here! It’s Stede!” He laughed uneasily, waving over to where Stede was standing behind him. “Yay!” he cheered awkwardly, trying to shift the impending negative mood.
Ed’s eyes widened as he quickly stood up, his chair falling on its back at his feet. “Stede,” he whispered. As quickly as his eyes brightened, they became gloomy and bitter.
“Ed-”
“Where the hell have you been?” Ed growled, his brows furrowed.
“Okay, everyone out,” Lucius announced, shoving the crew out the door. “As much as I’d love to see this…”
The crew shuffled out the door, shooting annoyed looks as Lucius as he pushed them to the deck.
“Good luck,” he whispered, raising his eyebrows at Stede as he closed the door behind him.
“Edward, I’m so sorry. I-”
Ed interrupted him as he collided with him and held him in a tight embrace.
Stede’s eyes widened with the impact, and then relaxed in his arms, hugging him back. “I know it hasn’t been very long, but… it’s still feels like too long. I’m so sorry. I should have talked to you first, instead of just leaving you on that dock-”
Edward pulled back and looked right into his eyes. “It’s okay,” he said, although there was pain in his eyes. “I mean… no, it’s not okay, but…” He sat down on the arm of the couch and stared down at the floor. “Damn it, I trust you, even though I have every reason not to.”
“If you want me to go, I’ll go-”
“Don’t,” Ed quickly retorted, standing back up. “… Don’t go.”
A small, relieved smile grew on Stede’s face. “I’ll make it up to you, and I’ll make sure I deserve your trust. I promise.”
Ed smiled softly back at him and nodded, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking back at the floor.
“You grew a beard,” Ed said quietly after a moment, the sparkle in his eyes giving away his excitement.
“Yours is growing back a bit too,” Stede said, gesturing over at him and smiling subtly.
Ed took a few steps closer, slowly approaching while his eyes flicked back and forth between Stede’s eyes and the floor. Once they were just a few inches apart, Ed gently caressed Stede’s beard with his thumb. “It looks good on you,” he whispered.
Stede brought a hand to Ed’s wrist, gently grasping it and holding it close to his cheek. Then, he looked Ed in the eyes and pressed his lips to his hand. He felt Ed’s pulse flutter where he was holding his wrist, and Ed’s gaze melted.
“Stede,” he whispered, leaning into Stede’s touch, “I don’t want to sleep alone.”
“Me either,” Stede whispered in return. “I’ve… missed you.”
Ed sighed, his lower lip quivering and his eyes welling up with tears, although he tried to keep them in. “Stede,” he whispered again, his voice wavering.
“Edward, come here,” Stede encouraged, opening his arms and beckoning him closer.
Ed immediately crashed into his arms, burying his face in Stede’s neck and sniffled quietly. “Thank you,” he squeaked. “Don’t tell the crew, but… shit, I missed you.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” Stede said confidently, pulling Ed back to look directly in his eyes as he spoke, making sure that he believed every word.
As Ed squeezed him tighter, Stede picked him up from under his thighs and carried him to bed. He gently laid him down on top of the blankets and curled up at his side, tangling their legs together.
“Stede?” Ed asked hesitantly, his voice high and uncertain.
“Yes, love?” Stede answered kindly, tucking Ed’s hair behind his ear.
He brushed his nose against Stede’s, closing his eyes and furrowing his brow as he slowly nudged himself closer, silently asking, begging Stede to embrace him.
Lucky for him, Stede spoke the same love language. He nosed Ed on the cheek, nuzzling his face back towards him. His fingers found their way to Ed’s hair, running through it, reveling in the way it cascaded down his shoulders like a waterfall. He felt the prickly hairs of Ed’s beard tickling his cheek. He felt Ed’s hands trembling on his shoulders. He could hear Ed’s breathing becoming heavier, or was that his breath? Was that the sound of his heartbeat that was filling the room? He wasn’t quite sure anymore. Everything was a blur. It was just him and Ed.
Just him and Ed.
“Ed,” he purred, feeling Ed’s warm breath against his cheek. He turned his head so that they were face to face, their noses almost touching. “Edward.”
Ed rested his forehead against Stede’s, pulling him closer by his waist. They held each other and breathed, just breathed, just enjoying being in each other’s arms once again.
Stede slid his hand to the back of Ed’s neck, glancing at his eyes before looking down at Ed’s lips and kissing them softly. As he was about to pull away, Ed let out the smallest sigh and started kissing him back, bringing his hands back to Stede’s shoulders and pulling him closer.
They still didn’t know quite what they were doing. It was awkward, but something had changed since their first kiss. Maybe they weren’t as afraid. Maybe they were just relieved to be back together again. In all honesty, neither of them cared. All they knew was that it was the safest either of them had felt in ages, and that was all that mattered.

The Most Important Person
Pairing: Kinn/Porsche
W/c: 900
Tumblr media
When the morning came, their legs were still intertwined.
Porsche’s head was resting on Kinn’s chest, and his arm was draped over his stomach. He could hear Kinn’s heart beating, quiet and steady, still lost in sleep.
He remembered last night, when Kinn walked into his room. Neither of them said a word, but with one look into Kinn’s eyes, he knew. Those eyes were only reserved for him.
Kinn wanted to be close to him. He wanted to be held and be as close as possible.
Just a few seconds later, they were curled up in bed together, and they hadn’t moved since.
Porsche didn’t know what had gotten into Kinn. He usually wasn’t so eager for such soft affection, at least not openly.
What he wouldn’t do to see Kinn smile again.
Kinn woke up naturally about an hour later. When his eyes fluttered open, the first thing he saw was Porsche smiling at him, and it instantly brought a smile to his face too.
Porsche delicately placed his hands on Kinn’s waist and pulled him closer until they were nose-to-nose. He smiled at Kinn, very soft and subtle, gazing into his eyes.
When Kinn smiled back, he gently slid his hands to Porsche’s back, caressing his lower back as he looked back at him. He pressed his nose against Porsche’s and hummed quietly.
Neither of them took their eyes off of each other. They just stared into each other’s eyes relentlessly, unwavering.
Porsche tilted his head as he studied the colors of Kinn’s eyes, and he smiled when he spotted a small golden speck in his iris. He had never realized how many colors could be in someone’s eyes before. He brought his hand up to cup Kinn’s face, and he tenderly brushed his thumb along the corner of Kinn’s eye, still staring at him intently, memorizing every detail.  
Then Kinn lifted his hand to Porsche’s and threaded their fingers together from behind. He gently slid Porsche’s hand to his lips, and he kissed it. He kissed his palm, his fingertips, his wrist, so gently that Porsche started to tremble.
He slowly pulled Porsche’s hand down, leading it across his neck and chest. Porsche looked up at him, and when Kinn nodded, he nodded back. He gently slid his hands to Kinn’s chest and began to unbutton his shirt. He could feel Kinn’s heart pounding relentlessly, as well as his own. He gently slid the shirt from Kinn’s shoulders, and Kinn began to unbutton his. The next thing they knew, they were curled up in bed wearing just their briefs and kissing each other slowly. Porsche was delicately carding his fingers through Kinn’s hair, playing with the strands at his nape.
Then when Porsche began to deepen the kisses, Kinn put a hand on his chest, pulling away gently.
Porsche stared at him for a minute, not sure what he wanted. “You okay?” he asked quietly.
Kinn looked at him, then down at the sheets, then back up at him again. “Could we just… just for today…”
A smile grew on Porsche’s lips and he nodded, understanding his boyfriend’s implication perfectly. “Yeah,” he said gently. “Of course.” He tilted Kinn’s chin up and pressed a tender kiss to his lips. “Why didn’t you just say so? You knew that I wouldn’t make a big deal about it, right?”
Kinn nodded. “I knew. I just… didn’t know how to say it,” he laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck. “I was hoping you would just… know.”
Porsche smiled kindly as he scooted closer, wrapping a leg around Kinn’s waist. “I know,” he said comfortingly. “I might know you a little too well at this point,” he teased.
“Fuck off,” Kinn grinned, shoving him playfully on the shoulder before quickly pulling him back into a hug.
“I love you too,” Porsche giggled, pressing a little kiss to Kinn’s shoulder.
A few moments later, they were kissing again. Porsche had buried himself in the bedsheet as he slowly worked his way down Kinn’s body, pressing little kisses to every inch.  
“Porsche,” Kinn whispered. “Porsche, look at me. Please.”
Porsche glanced up at him and saw the hopeful look in his eyes, and he just couldn’t resist. He slowly started kissing a trail back up to Kinn’s lips, keeping eye contact with him the entire time. Kinn was absolutely melting under his gaze, and it gave him more butterflies than he’d ever had in his life. He wrapped his arms around Kinn’s back and held him close as he kissed his sternum, still gazing into his eyes.
“Porsche,” he whispered again. His hands came to rest on Porsche’s shoulders, giving them small squeezes after every kiss.
Once he arrived at Kinn’s face, he cradled his cheeks and captured his lips in the softest kiss he could muster. He felt a tear fall on his thumb, and he couldn’t help but smile.
“I love you,” Porsche whispered, wiping the tear tracks from his face. “So much.”
“I love you,” Kinn whispered back shakily, his eyes overflowing with adoration. He combed his fingers through Porsche’s hair. “Don’t ever change.”
Porsche hugged Kinn tighter and rested his head on Kinn’s chest, smiling contently.

How We Do Intimacy
Pairing: Nick/Charlie
Summary: Nick and Charlie oneshots
Tumblr media
Chapter 30: Slow Dancing
Nick’s phone was shuffling through music while they were getting ready for bed. Charlie was wearing a baggy t-shirt and shorts, and Nick was pulling on a pair of sweatpants, still topless.
Then when a romantic song became part of the rotation, Charlie’s face immediately lit up. “I love this song!” he gasped, smiling brightly.
“Me too!” Nick grinned. “It’s adorable! You know, I think of you every time I hear it.”
Charlie blushed and started to walk towards Nick. He held out his hand. “Dance with me?” he asked quietly.
Nick smiled sweetly and nodded, placing his hand in Charlie’s.
Charlie pulled him close and rested his hands on Nick’s waist. They gently swayed side to side, gazing into each other’s eyes as they danced. Nick was humming softly along with the song, and it make Charlie smile even wider.
God, he’s so cute.
Then, Nick twirled Charlie, and they both started giggling as Charlie fell back into Nick’s arms. They rested their foreheads together and closed their eyes, both of them smiling peacefully. They brushed their noses together every once in a while and held each other close until the song came to an end.

How We Do Intimacy

Chapter 29: Steamy Shower
The second that they stepped into the shower, Nick pressed Charlie against the wall, capturing his lips in a deep, passionate kiss.
Charlie’s eyes immediately fluttered closed, his legs shaking, a small, surprised moan falling from his lips. He wrapped his arms around Nick, squeezing his shoulders tightly as Nick leaned closer, pressing their chests together and slotting his leg between Charlie’s.
Nick’s kisses moved from Charlie’s lips to his neck. Charlie’s head fell back against the shower wall, his mouth gaping open. “God, Nick,” he moaned.
“I won’t leave another hickey,” Nick smirked and winked mischievously. “Not like last time.”
“Well, don’t stop,” Charlie replied with a wide grin, pulling Nick back in for another kiss. He threaded his fingers through the back of Nick’s hair, holding him closer and kissing him deeper.
Then Charlie hooked his leg around Nick’s waist and pulled him flush against his body, giving him a cheeky smile before kissing him again. He could feel how Nick grinning against his lips, and then how he shivered when Charlie licked his bottom lip, sucking gently. When Charlie turned them around and pressed Nick’s back against the wall, Nick’s breath hitched in his chest.
“Oh, wow,” Nick groaned, his eyelids getting heavy. “God, don’t stop.”
“Believe me,” Charlie whispered into his ear, sucking gently on Nick’s earlobe. “I have no plans to.”

Chapter 28: Morning Cuddles
When Charlie woke up the next morning, he found Nick awake, sitting at his side and a book open on his lap. He must have heard Charlie wake up, because he turned to look at him and smiled peacefully. “Morning,” he whispered. “How’d you sleep?”
“Mmm,” Charlie groaned, smiling but burying his face in the blankets, willing himself to fall back to sleep. He was definitely not a morning person, and never would be.
Nick giggled as he closed his book and set it at his side, snuggling against Charlie under the blankets and wrapping his arms around his waist. “We don’t ever have to get up if you don’t want to,” he smiled. “Staying in bed for the rest of our lives sounds perfect to me.”
“Yeah?” Charlie groaned groggily, still trying to wake up.
“You know,” Nick said softly, his gaze becoming shy. “It would be pretty beautiful, wouldn’t it?”
Charlie started smiling immediately, melting on the spot “Of course, it would. It would be amazing.”
Nick planted a little kiss on Charlie’s lips and smiled back at him, gently combing the hair out of Charlie’s face with his fingertips.

Chapter 27: King-Sized Bed
“So,” Nick said with a smirk. “It’s a king-sized bed this time.”
“So it seems,” Charlie smirked back at him.
They were back in Paris for the week, and they had a hotel room all to themselves. Finally.
They rolled their suitcases against the wall and stared at each other shyly for a moment, then looked away giggling.
“Why are we like this?” Charlie laughed.
“I don’t know!” Nick exclaimed through giggles. “It’s not like we haven’t shared a bed before.”
They looked at each other for a moment, and then in a split second, Nick tackled Charlie and pinned him to the bed, both of them laughing loudly.
“Nick!” Charlie screeched. “Nick, what are you doing?” he laughed.
“Well, we have a king-sized bed, don’t we?” he smirked. “Might as well put it to good use.”
Charlie smirked back at him. “Well, if that’s the case,” he muttered before rolling Nick over and kissing his neck. “Payback is in order.”

Chapter 26: Depressed
Nick lightly knocked on Charlie’s bedroom door, but no one answered.
“Char?” he asked softly. “I know you’re in there… Can I come in? I brought you some hot cocoa.”
He heard a soft grunt from inside, which he took as a yes. “I’m coming in,” he said softly as he turned the doorknob.
Inside the room, he found Charlie curled up in a ball on his bed, wrapped in blankets and facing the wall opposite him. All Nick could see of him was a few tufts of hair peeking out from the top of the blankets.
“Char?” he said gently as he approached the bed. “Char, are you okay?”
After a few long moments, Charlie shook his head under the blankets and groaned quietly.
Nick sighed and sat down next to him, placing the hot cocoa mug on the nightstand next to his bed. “Do you want me to stay or go?” he asked softly. When Charlie didn’t answer, he figured that meant that he should give him some space. “I’ll stop by again later to see how you’re doing, okay?” He pressed a small kiss to the top of Charlie’s head and started to get up from the bed.
“Stay,” he heard a small voice whisper. “Please.”
Nick looked down at the bed and smiled gently. “Of course.”
He curled up behind Charlie, spooning him from behind, and stayed there for the rest of the day.

Chapter 25: Cinema Date
Charlie reached over and took some popcorn out of the bowl that Nick was holding. He didn’t take his eyes off of the screen the entire time, completely engrossed in the film.
As he was chewing, he felt Nick rest his head on his shoulder, and he smiled, glancing down at him. However, what he found was Nick fast asleep against him.
Charlie giggled softly to himself. So cute.
He reached over and gently brushed Nick’s bangs out of his eyes, doing his best to not disturb him.
When the movie came to an end and people started to get out of their seats, Nick was still asleep on his shoulder, and Charlie couldn’t bear to disturb him, so he waited there with him until he woke up, gently playing with his hair the entire time.

Chapter 24: Distractions
“Hey,” Nick said, sneaking up behind Charlie while he was brushing his teeth. He wrapped his arms around Charlie’s waist and rested his chin on his shoulder.
“Hey,” Charlie said, muffled by the toothbrush. “What’s up?”
“Nothing,” Nick said, snuggling his face into Charlie’s shoulder. “Just miss you.”
“You miss me?” Charlie said, raising an eyebrow. “You literally spent the night here last night. You haven’t gotten a break from me in at least 12 hours,” he smiled.
“It’s still not enough,” he answered, squeezing Charlie tighter and burying his face in Charlie’s hair.
Nick’s hands slowly snuck under the front of Charlie’s shirt, gently caressing his stomach and chest. “Come back to bed,” Nick whispered. “It feels really empty without you.”
Charlie immediately started to blush. He quickly finished brushing his teeth, and then turned around to look at Nick, who was pressing him against the bathroom counter. “Then let’s go back,” he said softly, resting his hands on Nick’s shoulders.
With a wide smile, Nick swept him up in his arms and carried him back to bed. They tumbled onto the bed together, and Nick wrapped his arms and legs around him.
“Better?” Charlie smiled.
“Perfect,” he smiled back, snuggling into Charlie’s chest.

Chapter 23: Sensitive
“Oh,” Nick gasped, eyes wide, fingers digging into the blankets beneath him.
“You okay?” Charlie asked gently, leaning back and looking Nick in the eyes.
He nodded quickly. “It’s just… new,” he admitted quietly.
“A good kind of new?” Charlie asked.
Nick nodded again. “Very good,” he admitted, blushing with a deep red.
Charlie smiled sweetly. “Should I…?”
When Nick nodded, Charlie leaned down again and let his hands caress Nick’s chest, and when his fingers ghosted over Nick’s nipples, he reveled in how Nick trembled under him. He kept letting out these tiny, breathy sighs and gasps, and they were driving Charlie crazy.
“Char,” Nick said breathily, his voice trembling. “Char, no one’s ever touched me like this.”
“And I’ve never touched anyone like this,” Charlie said quietly, smiling up at Nick. When Nick smiled back at him, he pressed a small kiss to one of Nick’s nipples, and Nick sighed shakily, arching up against his lips.
“You’re a fucking dream, Char,” Nick whispered, staring up at the ceiling wide-eyed.
“Then keep calling me Char,” he whispered, smiling slyly and pressing another kiss to Nick’s chest.
