Wednesday 
The sounds of hammering rain and thunder were all you could focus on as you were sitting on the couch, curled up in a blanket trying to finish an overly complex project for work. You had been trying to finish the final section for the past week but you simply could not get rid of the restless feeling that had engulfed you over the past few days. 
Joe, on the other hand, was sitting right next to you. He was staring at the TV which had on some random rerun episode of The Office. Normally, he’d be laughing along to the show no matter how many times he had seen the episode, but today he was quiet & agitated. He had been overwhelmed this past month with intense rehab for his wrist injury; on top of which he had his off-season workouts every day which had also been incredibly vigorous. He was mentally and physically burnt out and needed something to take his mind off of everything. He noticed that you also had been swamped with work which caused you to be on edge the whole week, preventing you two from having any real 1 on 1 time like you usually do, and he wasn’t having it. 
You were typing away on your computer, another idea that would probably lead to nothing, before you heard the TV turn off. 
You turned your head to Joe and saw his blank face. “Everything Okay?” you questioned while reaching for his hand. 
“Wanna get out of here?” he asked while interlocking your hands, still looking expressionless. 
“Joey there is literally a monsoon happening outside right now,” you deadpanned as you squeezed his hand. 
“Not out there. I mean do you wanna get out of Ohio?”.
“Who are you and what have you done with my fiancee,” you laughed. 
“What?” he asked, looking quizzical as if he had no idea why you said that.
“You, the same man that never leaves his house unless it’s business or football related. And sometimes due to a forced social activity, or occasionally to have fun, wants to leave Ohio? You’re practically a turtle that stays in its shell all day,” you say before going back to your work project. 
Joe is slightly taken aback by what you said. Deep down he knows you aren’t wrong, he doesn’t go out very often, which made what he said next even more necessary. 
“Let’s go to the Bahamas this weekend. I can call up Ted and get a jet here and we can leave Friday morning. I’m thinking we stay at a lowkey house on a private beach for maybe 4 days,” he says.
You think he’s just messing with you but when you look over at him, he looks serious. 
“Where is this coming from?” you say with worry in your voice. In the 5 years, you and Joe have been together, he’d never sprung an idea of a vacation on you by himself, it was always mutual. And you’d never left the States before either. You close your computer and turn to face him. 
“I’m just so fucking tired,” he says with a sigh. “These past few weeks have been really intense and I just need a break.” 
Your face drops as he continues. He’d been under so much pressure lately with OTA’s slowly approaching and training amping up; plus all the background noise. He’d start throwing in the next month or so and deep down he was nervous. He didn’t know how it was going to go and if all this rehab was even worth it if he was never going to be able to get back to where he was. 
“And you’ve been stressed out all week because of work and it feels like we haven’t had just ‘us’ time,” he adds. 
Joe was right. He’d be gone all day with either rehab or workouts and the only time you two would get together would be dinner. And by dinner, you’d be too exhausted to do anything but eat and rush off to bed. 
You spend a few moments contemplating his offer. It would be nice to get away for a few days and you both needed the change of environment badly. 
“Okay, let’s do it," you say with a smile as you pull him in for a hug. 
“But just so you know, since we’d be leaving in 2 days, I’m going to be an absolute nightmare when it comes to packing,” you say before planting a kiss on his cheek. 
“Oh, I'm well aware. You only get 2 days to stress about packing and not a whole week like usual,” he laughs. 
Thursday Evening 
You both spent the majority of the day planning your impromptu vacation. You found the perfect beach house on the other side of Nassau, away from the main part of the island. It was hidden by palm trees and had a private beach which made it easy to unwind without any prying eyes. You would spend the week there and pick out a few activities nearby to occupy your time. You also chose a few places to eat although you both decided to cook at home for the majority of your stay. 
Currently, you were sitting on your closet floor attempting to pack your suitcase but were majorly failing. Packing was never your strong suit, especially if you had to pack the day before a trip. The closet looked like a war zone, things were everywhere. 
“This is the wrong time to not be able to find anything,” you say to yourself while getting up once again to hunt for missing items. 
Joe walked into the closet and saw you frantically pacing back and forth looking for something. 
“Babe, are you Okay?” He asked while sitting down on the stool. 
“Have you seen my new white bikini? Or my sunglasses? Or my tank tops?” You asked, aggravated that you couldn’t find your stuff.
“I literally cannot find anything,” You added before giving Joe a look. He knew that look all too well, you were 1 misplaced item away from having a full breakdown. 
He got up from the stool and walked over to where you were, put his hands on your shoulders, and said “Y/N you could wear a potato sack and still look amazing. Stop stressing about it, this vacation is supposed to get rid of the stress. Not add onto it,”
You let out a deep breath and say “You’re right. It’s just us anyway. I’ll just pack some nice dresses and stuff whatever in the suitcase,” 
“The fewer clothes the better,” Joe smirks and says before leaning in and planting a kiss on your lips. 
“You’re insatiable,” you say against his lips. 
After you finish packing your suitcase, you get ready for bed since you have a fairly early flight. It took Joe about 15 minutes to pack his things, which came as no surprise since he is the biggest outfit repeater you know. You’re just about ready to doze off before you feel Joe’s hand creep up your leg and squeeze your thigh.
“Mmm Joe not right now,” you say half asleeply. “Go to bed,”
“Not that,” he states. “I can’t fall asleep,” he mumbles. 
You let out a sigh before turning to face him. No way you’re getting any sleep now. “What’s wrong,” you say as you move his messy curls out of his eyes. 
“I don’t know, I just can’t fall asleep,” he says. 
You knew Joe too well to know when something was bothering him. His confession earlier was only the tip of the iceberg. Something was bugging him and you needed him to talk to you.
“What’s going on in that brain of yours,” you say as you play with his curls. 
He stayed silent for a few heartbeats, not knowing if he should unload his heavy thoughts on you right before a vacation. But he knew that it was just you. You’d always listen to whatever he had to say, no matter the time or place. 
“Just everything.” He says, meeting your eyes. “Rehab has been going great and training has been too, and I should be happy about that but I just can’t get rid of that feeling,”
“What feeling?” You question.
“Feeling like I won’t be good enough. I know what people are saying; overpaid, overrated, no rings, injury-prone. And they aren’t wrong. I don’t have anything to back up why people think I’m a top 3 quarterback,” 
Your heart breaks as he continues to talk. The fact that Joe feels like he isn’t good enough is mind-boggling to you. He’s one of the best damn players you’ve ever seen and you wish you could do something to get rid of his doubts, but you knew that that was something he had to do on his own. 
“But you do have things to back it up. You had one of the greatest college football seasons ever. Winning the Natty and the Heisman was only the start of your legacy. You were drafted by an organization that was in desperate need of saving and you made an impact that not many could have done,” you say as you see a small smile on his face.
“You had a shitty rookie season with tearing basically everything in your knee, but you worked hard and came back better than ever fucking before. You went on and led the team to their first playoff win in 30 years and went to the fucking Super Bowl in your first full season,” you add.
“Yeah, you didn’t win. But you put the entire league on notice and showed them who the hell you are. And then you did it again next year even though you didn’t go all the way. This past year was rough and didn’t go the way anyone would have expected, but this is part of what makes you, you.” you say with a smile as he stares deeply into your eyes. 
“You thrive when there’s adversity. It makes you work harder for what you want and it always pays off one way or another. You always come out better and stronger. You are a great quarterback and are absolutely more than good enough. You’re going to have your moment soon, and I know it,” you conclude. 
Joe stares into your eyes for a few more heartbeats. You knew exactly what to say to bring him back down from whatever cloud he was stuck on and he was so thankful for you. 
“I love you,” he said as he pulled you onto his lap, pressing kisses all over your face. 
“I love you more, always,” you laugh as he kisses the hell out of you. 
You two spent the rest of the night in each other's embrace. You finally felt at peace once you heard Joe’s soft snores fill the room and finally got some sleep.
Friday
You both got up pretty early for your flight, taking a quick shower before packing the car and heading to the airport. After boarding the plane you both took off your shoes, pulled out your fav blanket, and got comfy. 
“Are you excited?” Joe beams.
“Excited is an understatement, Burrow,” you smirk. “Getting you out of Ohio might be my favorite part,”. 
“I’m so looking forward to getting some sun and swimming in that big pool,” he says, referring to the massive pool that’s a part of the house you rented.  
“It’s like you’re a whole new person,” you smile while leaning your head on his shoulder. He smiles and kisses your forehead before pulling out his laptop to turn on a movie. 
“Oooo what are we gonna watch?” you excitedly question. 
“I was thinking of either ‘Grown-Ups’ or ‘21 Jump Street’,” he responds.
“Hmm, let’s do Jump Street, it’s been a while since we watched that,” you say. 
You spent the rest of the flight watching movies, playing a few card games, and eventually taking a small nap before the plane landed. 
A few hours later
After the plane landed, you both drove to your house for the week and it was like something out of a fairytale. The house overlooked the beach and the crystal blue water. Lush green palm trees surrounding the house provided ample privacy, especially for the large open pool in the backyard. You two settled into the house before changing into your swimsuits for a nice afternoon dip in the pool. You did end up finding your new white bikini, which was perfect for the occasion. 
Joe walked out of the bathroom and saw you brushing your hair in the mirror. His eyes trailed down to your bare legs, up to your perfect ass, then to your toned stomach, and straight to your chest. You looked so sexy and he was in heaven. He walked up to you and hugged you from behind, his warmth causing you to melt into his arms. 
Your eyes met his in the mirror, “Like what you see, Burrow?” you teased. 
“Absolutely,” he chuckled as he swayed you two back and forth, pressing a kiss on the back of your shoulder while sliding his hand down to your ass. Joe was grinning like a love-struck fool as he watched you close your eyes and melt into his embrace. He was making you feel more relaxed than you’d ever been before and you both were loving it. 
You both ventured out to the pool and sat down on the pool chairs, hoping to get a quick tanning sesh in before a swim. A few minutes in, Joe found himself staring at the pool when he got an idea. 
“I’m gonna jump into the pool,” he casually said.
You quickly turned your head to him and said, “Are you crazy, the water will get everywhere,” You gasped.
“It’s just us though, nobody around to complain. Besides, I can’t do it in the pool at home since we spent way too much money on redoing the backyard. At least here there isn’t any vegetable garden at risk of being destroyed,” he smirked before quickly running back to the patio door and launching himself into the pool, not giving you a moment to lecture him. 
The water did in fact get everywhere but it was worth it when you saw Joe come up from the water. He shook his head back and forth to get the water out of his hair before he took his hand and attempted to slick it back. Your eyes navigated to his muscular chest which had stray water droplets sliding down his abdomen, back into the water. God, he looked so hot like this. 
“Like what you see, Burrow,” he teased as he noticed your expression. 
“Yes, in fact I do. Very much actually,” you say while getting off the chair. “And I’m not a ‘Burrow’ yet, still gotta wait a few months before that,” you say as you make your way into the pool. 
“Well, you’re practically already my wifey sooo,” he trails off before swimming over to the steps and helping you into the pool. 
You giggle at his words. He couldn’t wait to marry you and he never failed to make it known. 
You immediately latch onto him when you're in the pool. This was pretty normal for you both. You’d always use him as a floatie and make him do all the work while you just lay on him and relaxed. 
A few moments later you release yourself from his embrace, making him slightly confused at the sudden loss of contact. 
“Y/N come back,” he whines out.
“Someone’s clingy today,” you say while playfully rolling your eyes and swimming away from him. 
He stared at you for a few moments, a sad look on his face while you continued to swim around and away from him. You felt bad that you’d left him hanging but you were having too much fun teasing him. 
“Come and catch me shiesty,” you yelled. He hated it when you called him that. That nickname was only for football-related individuals to use and he thought it was a little cringe whenever you would use it. Not in a bad way, it’s just he preferred you calling him other names that football-related people can’t use. You knew how he felt about it but you also knew that this would for sure set him off. 
“Oh you’re done for,” he playfully growled before swimming after you. The pool was massive so you had just enough space to get away from him. 
You two were swimming circles around each other, occasionally splashing water into each other's faces in hopes of catching each other off guard. Your arms began to get tired of swimming around so you stopped by the ledge to take a breather while Joe was settled on the other side of the pool. 
Before you knew it, Joe had swum over to you and pulled you back into his arms. 
“Got you,” you whispered against your ear. 
“I guess you did,” you whispered back. 
“You look absolutely gorgeous by the way,” he said looking down into your eyes. “I love this bikini on you,” 
You blushed at his sweet comments. He never failed to tell you how pretty you looked. 
“Ya know, I look even better with it off,” you tease. 
Joe’s face dropped immediately when you said that. He’d been horny since he saw you in that bikini but had to compose himself since you both were looking forward to swimming in the pool. But now that you’d gotten your swim time in, nothing was stopping him. 
He slowly pressed you against the wall of the pool and kissed his way up your neck right up to your sweet spot. 
“Joe,” you moaned out. 
“What baby?” He asked, knowing exactly what you wanted.
“I need you,” you whined.
He looked at you momentarily before lifting you out of the pool and rushing you inside to the large bedroom. You let out a squeal as he pushed you back onto the bed. Joe climbed over you and situated his body in between your thighs, capturing your lips in a passionate kiss. You stayed kissing each other for a few minutes before you felt something hard poke at your stomach.
“Getting eager now aren’t we,” you tease. 
“Please, I’ve been waiting to get you in this bed since I saw you in this bikini,” he grinned. 
“Then I suggest you do something about it,” you replied.
Joe smiled and started to untie the strands of your bikini top before tossing it to the side. He kissed his way down to your perfect breasts, swirling his lips around your sensitive bud which caused you to let out a breathy moan.
“Joe,” you moaned out while shoving your hands in his hair. 
He spent a few moments sucking on your breasts before he continued his way down. He pressed a few sloppy kisses on your stomach before eventually making his way down to where you needed him the most. He slowly peeled off your bottoms which was driving you insane.
“Joe please,” you whined out.
“Patience is key, baby,” he teased. 
He threw your bottoms to the side as he made his way back up to your heat. “You’re so wet,” he says while ghosting his fingers over your folds.
“Joe I swear to god-,” You suddenly felt his warm tongue lapping at your folds which caused you to let out another moan, “Ohh Fuck”. 
He buried his warm tongue inside your core as he continued to eat you out like a starved man. He moved one of his hands up to cup your breast as the other was firmly on your thigh. Joe moved up and started to rhythmically suck on your clit which made you see stars; something which he made you see often. “Joey, fuck don’t stop,” you said breathlessly.
“You like that?” he chuckled against your core, sending vibrations throughout your body. Those 3 words always managed to get you more horny than you already were. "Yeah," you whispered.
He went back to lapping at your folds as he used his thumb to rub your clit. The combination of his mouth and fingers was sending you over the edge. You started to arch your back which caused you to lift your hips slightly but Joe pushed them back down as he continued to send you into a frenzy. You fisted your hands into his hair and started to pull on the loose curls which caused Joe to let out a soft moan against you. 
“Joe I’m so close,” you whispered as you pushed his head closer to your core. You felt a familiar warmth in your belly as you were moaning Joe’s name out (which was driving him insane). Joe thrusted one of his fingers into you, causing the imaginary rubber band in your lower belly to snap; feeling a familiar gush of liquid pool below you. You were overcome with a feeling of pure pleasure and satisfaction as he cleaned up your mess with his skillful mouth. He pressed delicate kisses on the insides of your thighs before moving back up and pushing his lips against yours again. 
“You’re so hot,” he said in between kisses. 
You felt a blush creep up on your face. “I’m flattered Mr. Burrow, but have you seen yourself”. 
“Shut up,” he chuckled before going back to kissing you. You stopped kissing him after a few moments and said “Joe, I need you inside me.”
“Your wish is my command babe,” he replied as he pulled down his swim trunks and threw them to the side. His cock was rock hard and the sight of it had you sizzling with anticipation. 
Your core was slick with your arousal which made it easy for him to push his dick into you. The tip slowly teasing your folds before he buries himself inside of you, causing you to let out a loud moan. You will never get tired of the feeling of him inside you. 
He started slowly thrusting into you which made you wrap your legs around him, wanting him deeper asap. 
“Joe, Fuck,” you moaned out. “Faster baby,”. 
He began snapping his hips against you, faster & harder than before. “God, you feel so good Y/N,” he moaned out. You brought him in for another kiss, this time quick, messy, and sloppy. He continued thrusting into you and you bucked your hips each time to match his movements. The sound of your arousal and skin-hitting skin filled the room as you two were caught up in the euphoria that was happening between you. 
Joe buried his face into your neck, sucking on your sweet spot, as your hands found themselves in his hair again. You were on Cloud 9 right now and it was all because of him.
“Joe, don’t stop. Shit, you feel too good,” you moaned. You felt him move deeper inside of you as he repeatedly hit your cervix. 
He continued to pound into you, making you feel like nothing else mattered but this moment. You both felt your arousal building up, begging to be released. 
“Fuck Y/N, I’m close,” he panted as he slowed down.
“Me too,” you whimpered. 
He picked up the pace of his thrusts once again, this time moving one of his hands down to your heat, toying with your clit. “Fuck,” you moaned out for what seemed like the hundredth time. “I’m gonna cum,” you whimpered. You felt your walls clench around him, signaling you were almost there. Joe felt you clench around him and pinched your clit which set off your orgasm. Your chest heaved up and down as you whimpered out his name while seeing stars again. He continued to thrust into you, chasing his pleasure. 
“Y/N,” Joe moaned out. You knew he was close by the way his thrusts started to become sporadic. 
“Come on baby,” you encouraged while pulling at his hair and kissing his neck. 
After a few rough thrusts, Joe let out a loud moan as you felt hot spurts of his cum fill you up. He collapsed on top of you as you both panted, needing a moment to recover after the workout you two just had. You moved one of your hands to his back, softly sliding it up and down to help him relax.
“I love you,” he softly said as he kissed your cheek, making you smile. 
“I love you more,” you whisper in his ear as he buries his face into your neck again. 
The next day 
The next morning was pretty chill for you both. You had breakfast at the local beachside cafe, stuffing your faces with delicious fresh fruit from the island before embarking on a pleasant morning walk on the beach. 
“This is nice,” Joe says as you both walk hand in hand alongside the water, a content look on his face.
You look up at him and smile, “Very nice,” you giggle. “Although, I don’t know how you’re not uncomfortable with walking on the beach in shoes,” you question while looking at your bare feet and then his shoes. 
“You never know when a crab might come up and pinch your toes,” he says with a straight face. 
“Righhhht,” you say while relishing the feeling of sand between your toes. 
“So, what should we do today? We pretty much have the whole day since we’re cooking at home tonight,” he says while squeezing your hand. 
“Hmmm,” you wonder for a second. “We could go out on one of the boats?” you carefully question while looking up at your fiancee. 
Joe did not like going on boats. He hated the idea of being out on the open water with no way of getting back to shore other than using the boat. He always questioned what you would do if the boat broke down or even started sinking. You always told him the sinking part was highly unlikely, but you blamed yourself for that worry because you’ve made him watch Titanic with you one too many times. He also didn’t like how you couldn’t see what was in the water. But lucky for you, the water in the Bahamas was crystal clear. 
He stayed silent for a few moments, making you a little sad since you wanted to experience something new with him. 
“Let’s do it,” he says while flashing you a smile. 
You looked up at him, a little surprised. “Really?” you beam. 
“Yes, now let’s go before I change my mind,” he says before stopping to pick you up. He doesn’t give you a moment to respond because he throws you over his shoulders causing you to let out a squeal. He leads you both back to the house so you can get freshened up.
You both got changed into your swimsuits before walking over to the docks and renting a boat for the day. You weren’t sure how you managed to get Joe to go on the boat, but you certainly were not complaining. 
The driver had taken the boat not too far from shore, which kept Joe’s mind at ease. You swam in the water for a little bit and enjoyed a few drinks. 
“Mmm, this like the best Mai Tai I’ve ever had,” you say while taking another sip. Joe was currently in the water in front of you, while you were seated on the steps of the boat, legs partially in the water. 
“Come in the water,” Joe says while splashing some water onto you. 
“Mmm, I think I’m good up here,” you tease while placing your drink to the side.
Joe swam closer to you and said “Nope.”
You were confused at what he meant but then you felt his wet hand wrap around your wrist. 
“Joe, don’t even think about it,” you playfully growled, knowing exactly what he was about to do. He didn’t listen and pulled you into the water, causing a big splash. You came back up to the surface with a frown.
“Someone’s mad,” Joe laughs. You swim over to him while he is fully anticipating an ass-kicking but is pleasantly surprised when you wrap your arms around his neck and kiss his cheek.
You laugh and say, “If this is mad, let me be mad more often,”.
A few hours pass and you both are sitting on the boat in the net seating area that was right above the water. Joe had put on one of his many bucket hats and shades and was laid flat against the net, soaking in the golden sun. You were applying another layer of sunscreen before noticing his chest turning red. You knew he’d be a pain in the ass if he got sunburnt so you took the bottle and moved closer to him. 
You squeezed out a dab of sunscreen and started applying it to his chest. He flinched at the sudden contact before realizing it was just you. 
You felt him flinch and laughed, “Daydreaming, Burrow?”. 
“Maybe,” he smiles while taking off his shades. He looks down and sees you applying sunscreen on him, “Oh, thanks,” he says while meeting your eyes. 
You let out a playful sigh and say, “What would you do without me,”.
“For real,” he says. “I’d be walking around like a tomato,” he laughs. 
After applying the rest of the sunscreen, you lay back against the net and Joe lifts one of his arms, motioning for you to curl up next to him. He rests his hand on the small of your back while you tangle your legs with his. 
You lay there briefly, soaking up the perfect scene before breaking the silence. “Are you enjoying this? I know boats aren’t really your thing and I hope I didn’t force you into this,” you softly say. 
“Of course, I’m enjoying this. I will admit, I was a little nervy when getting on but you’re here with me so I’m fine. Besides, If the boat breaks down at least we’d be stranded together,” he jokes. 
“I guess that’s true. Better than being stranded with a bunch of randos too. I’m glad we could get a boat just for the two of us,” you reply. 
“Yup. This isn’t as bad as I thought. I can see everything below us too so no risk of a random shark popping out,” he deadpans.
“Like that would actually happen,” you say while softly hitting his chest.
“You never know,” he says while shaking your shoulder in an attempt to scare you.
You spent a few minutes messing around with each other before the driver came out to tell you that you were heading back to the island. You both got up and sat on the bench, your back pressed into Joe’s chest and stared out into the open waters, taking in the view before it was time to go back. You were mindlessly sliding your hand along Joe’s leg while he had his arms around your waist, gently squeezing your soft skin. Everything about this moment was peaceful. Joe felt at ease for the first time in a long time and he had his favorite person to thank for it. 
Once you got back to the house, you both took a nice shared shower before starting your dinner prep. Before arriving at the house yesterday, you had stopped at the local market to pick up some groceries. 
“So, what are we making tonight,” Joe asked as he sat down on one of the barstools. 
“I was thinking of shrimp-avocado tostadas and some of that wine we picked up yesterday?”
“Sounds delicious,” he said while rubbing his belly.
You let Joe fry the tortillas and make the avocado mixture while you cooked the shrimp and assembled the tostadas. While you were assembling the dish, Joe found a few candles in the cabinet and got an idea. He went outside to the backyard and set up the candles on one of the patio tables, setting the scene for a nice sunset dinner. He picked out a few flowers from the front of the house and put them in a vase to use as a centerpiece. He then poured the wine into 2 glasses, setting one on each side. 
You had finished plating the tostadas and didn’t see Joe anywhere. “Joe? Where are you,” you yelled out.
“Out here! Bring the plates outside,” he yelled back. 
You were a little confused but went along with it. You walked outside with your dinner and saw Joe setting the table and your heart melted. 
“Joe, this is so romantic,” you cooed while putting the plates on the table. 
He gave you a warm smile before pulling out one of the chairs for you to sit in. You sat down as he settled into the chair across from you. You both devoured the tostadas while making small talk about your plans for tomorrow. After you finished eating, Joe took the plates and set them inside; he suggested you both finish up your wine on the daybed since you would get a comfier view of the sky. 
Later that night, per your suggestion, you and Joe were sitting in the bathtub surrounded by bubbles and a few candles. You felt so relaxed even though you’d only been here for 2 days, and it was all because of Joe.
“I’m glad we finally get to have ‘us’ time,” Joe says while rubbing your thigh under the water. “I missed just being able to sit with you and do nothing. This past month felt so repetitive, I feel like we barely saw each other,” 
“Me too. We needed this,” you said as you pressed yourself into his chest a little more. Your back was to his chest and both your legs were tangled under the water. This was your favorite position; the warmth radiating off of his body felt like a big hug. 
“Thank you for doing this by the way,” you add.
“Doing what?” He questioned.
“This trip. I needed it more than I thought I did. Getting away from home and the change of environment was much needed. I think if I stayed in Ohio for another day I might have spontaneously exploded,” you joked, causing him to let out a soft chuckle. 
“Anytime,” he replied while kissing the nape of your neck.
“Do you feel better?” You asked. “I hope you were able to get your mind off of things. Your stuff was a lot heavier than mine,”
He lets out a content sigh and says, “Actually, yeah I do feel better. I think I just needed to get out of the chaos and get out of my head. This trip has helped me decompress and realize that not everything has to be so stuffy all the time,” Joe says. 
“Exactly,” you chirp as you lean your head back to place a kiss on his neck.
“I can’t do anything about what people are saying, they’ll always talk. But what I can do is work hard to get back to where I’m supposed to be. And I won’t be able to get there if I’m constantly pressuring myself,” he says. “Letting loose and having fun is a part of that journey. I need that balance,” he adds.
“And this is a great start,” you say while smiling up at Joe
“Yes it is,” Joe says while pressing another kiss to your forehead. 
You both had spent the rest of the night talking about the rest of your exciting activities planned for the final 2 days of the trip. You even talked about a few fun things you could do around Cincinnati when you get back home so that you could keep the work-life balance that you both so desperately needed. 
“This impromptu vacation might have been the best idea you’ve had so far,” you tell Joe as you both are about to fall asleep. 
“We should get away more often,” Joe grins.

Lessons in chemistry - Peter Parker
Synopsis: Your best friend Peter tries to teach you how to skateboard, but distractions occur.
AN: it's one in the morning, and I gave in to the delusions. They have taken me in as one of their own, and they said they would let me go if i posted this.

"You gotta trust me, okay?" Peter's got one foot on the skateboard, holding it steady as you stand a fair distance away, hesitant and unsure why you agreed to this particular day.
Peter had offered to teach you to skateboard, and while the offer seemed perfectly reasonable and fun at the time, being here now was an entirely different story. You were beyond clumsy and hopeless when it came to learning new things. Peter knew this, yet he seemed so certain you could do this one activity.
"I don't think this is a good idea, Peter." You're squinting as the sun beats down at you, and the concrete you stand on currently seems far too menacing to learn to skate on. Peter had originally offered to start you out on grass, but to do that you would have had to go somewhere more public to find some, being in new york and all, and you weren't fond of embarrassing yourself in front of more than just Peter.
"Just c'mere." Peter is waving you over to him, and the gentle smile on his lips is enough to bribe you closer.
"Okay, now give me your hands."
You do as you're told, and he gives your hands an encouraging squeeze.
"I'm holding the board steady. It shouldn't go anywhere when you get on, okay?" He's trying to make you feel better, but the anxiety within you picks apart his words.
"It shouldn't, but it might." You mumble, eyes down on the board, glaring harshly at its existence.
"Can you just trust me madame pessimism?" There's a humorous sigh that falls from him as you get up the courage to step on the board, and when you do, it seems okay.
"See? There you go. The first step is done." Peter squeezes your hand again, and you wobble a little on the board despite Peter keeping it from rolling away.
"Well, this was fun. Time to go home now." It comes off as a joke, but you're more than serious as Peter shakes his head.
"Give it a chance."
You look up at him, and you're oddly close. With your hands in his, it's almost as though you're about to dance under the old overpass at which you stand. "Okay, Parker, I trust you." You mean it, but that doesn't mean you're at all comfortable with what you're about to do. Part of you wishes you'd stayed home, while the other is glad to be here with Peter.
"I'm gonna take my foot away from the board now, okay? It's gonna roll a little, but I got you so don't worry."
"I'm worrying Peter."
He laughs. A beautiful laugh and a wonderful smile accompanying it before he begins the fated count down. "On three, one, two–" he lets the board free, and you don't move much, being on flat ground and all, but still the slight adjustment freaks you out just a little. Again, you sway on the board, and Peter holds you steady.
"I hate this so much." You whine, unable to contain the true depth of your feelings. The situation is so far out of your comfort zone that it feels as though your skin is crawling with you inside it.
"Well, it's not like I can tell or anything. I mean, you look like you're having a great time. You know, with the tense shoulders and genuine panic in your eyes, I would have assumed you were having fun or something." his sarcasm does little to ease you, but it's so truly Peter. So authentic to his person that you can almost imagine yourself standing on flat ground beside him, rather than supported by the wheels of his old and flimsy skateboard.
"Let's just get this over with." You try for a smile, but it's hard to do, every muscle in your body preoccupied with trying to stay as still as possible.
"We're gonna try and move now, just a little."
"Fuck."
"Yeah," Peter laughs "fuck."
And just like that, you're rolling along, heart beating quickly as Peter sends encouragements. You're stable for a few moments before you get into your head and feel yourself tilting backward. Letting go of his hands, you rush to grasp Peter's shoulders, his hands falling to your waist as he pulls you toward him and off the board.
"Woah, okay, that was a good first attempt."
You're gripping him tight, too tight, as the board rolls away from you both. Peter will go get it later, but for now he's with you.
"I almost died." You mutter, a death grip on Peter's jacket.
"You were fine." Peter chuckles, pulling you in for a hug. You accept it, despite the fact you're slightly upset with him for making you do this. And when you pull back, squinting up at him you lose all the stress from before.
Peter loses himself entirely, thinking things nowhere near the topic of skateboarding and closer to the topic of kissing.
"You did great... really great." Peter insists one hand running down your back as he tries to stop the thoughts racing through his head. He'd always liked you, as more than a friend. He'd always wanted to wake up beside you, hold your hand, take you to prom. He'd always wanted you.
He clears his throat, and you look away from him, almost disappointed.
"You want to try again?" He asks, trying to get back on track. You shake your head and look back to him, and in your eyes, he sees something different. A sort of confidence.
"What do I get if I do?" You're teasing him. He thinks you are, at least, but the mischief you're offering is tempting.
"What do you want?"
"A dinner date, somewhere where there's pasta." You answer, so sure of yourself, and Peter's brain freezes up.
"A date as in a date or...?" He sounds so stupid like this, and he realizes just how close he still is to you. Where his hands are placed softly on your hips and where your fingers hold fast to his shoulders.
"Whatever you want it to be, Peter. Now, if we have a deal, I would like to try again." You look to the direction the skateboard had gone and see it paused a small distance away, but you don't get to retrieve it. Before you can, Peter's hand comes up to your face, fingers placed gently on your jaw to turn your gaze back his way.
It's not what you expect from him, and in honesty, it's not what Peter expects from himself either but he leans in closer, pausing just long enough for you to pull away if you want to.
"Do it." You whisper, your breath brushing over his lips, as if painting the grin that spreads onto his face.
The kiss is gentle, his nose bumping awkwardly with yours as he leans closer, closing the gap. He can feel the heat in your cheeks when he places his hands there, thumb brushing over the skin as he breathes you in. Your fingers grip his shoulders harder now, moving up toward his neck to hold him closer, and there's something about the way you move with him so perfectly that makes him think this can't possibly be real. But it is, and when he pulls back for air, he examines your features, hoping for your reaction. You speak first, before he can.
"That was weird," you say, breaking his heart a little. "But in a good way. I'd like to try it again sometime, if that's okay with you?" You mend the break easily, and soon he's grinning again, one hand finding it's way into your hair.
"It's definitely okay with me." Peter mumbles, eyes drifting back down to your lips in anticipation.
"Should I book a time with your secretary for our next appointment?" Your head tilts to the side as you watch every expression that crosses his face. He's beautiful, definitely, and his heart is yours.
"As a matter of fact, I have an hour or two free right now. I was skateboarding with this girl I really like, but I think her mind is wandering elsewhere."
You smack him hard on the arm, but before you can remark anything back, he's kissing you again, sending you into a blissful silence.
You're learning very little about skateboarding, but it seems your time is well spent anyway. Peter doesn't care how long he's here for, and he'll forget his skateboard under the overpass in favor of walking you home. He'll hold your hand the whole way there and kiss you goodbye on the doorstep before he leaves. He'll have everything he's ever wanted by the end of the day, skateboard or not, and that's more than okay with him.

Tumblr media
You didn’t think Steve noticed. But the thing about Steve is that he always notices things with you.
He first noticed how flustered you’d get when he’d play-wrestle with you. Pinning you beneath his body while you squirmed and whined. How disappointed you seemed when he’d give you a kiss and then roll off of you to hold you instead. How warm your body was against his, how you’d keep adjusting, pressing your ass against his dick when his arms would wrap around you.
Then he noticed how you sometimes like to be just out of reach. Giggling and stepping away at the right time, ducking out of his embrace or a kiss. How you made him work for it, running away, albeit lazily - how you’d moan when he finally caught you and kissed you fiercely, holding you tight so you didn’t run away again.
And now, he’s noticing how you’re squirming in your seat beside him on the couch. There’s a horror movie playing on his TV in front of you. He wanted a cute date night. To hold you when you get scared, arm around you, whispering reassurance in your ear.
“Don’t worry, baby. I could kick that guy’s ass.”
He really does think you’re scared at first. The way your breath hitches, how you fidget with your fingers. But your eyes are glued to the movie, and not once do you recoil or scoff while the killer chases his next victim. If anything, you seem incredibly interested, where before you’d been making jokes at the corniness and special effects. Steve wraps his arm around you as intended, but he doesn’t speak just yet, curious with your reaction.
You seem to not even notice that he’s staring. Simply watching the screen, your eyes wide, lips slightly parted. You watch like that all the way up to the villain pinning the screaming protagonist down and lifts his knife, and then you blink and look away, suddenly disinterested. Which is a little weird, Steve thinks. That’s usually the part that people can’t look away from.
So it happens again later in the movie - a chase scene, someone getting pinned. You have the same reaction this time, except you’re a little more active. Shifting in your seat, crossing your legs. The moment your thighs squeeze together it clicks for Steve, who is equally shocked and amused. His pretty little thing? Getting off to something like this?
“You like that, don’t you?” he whispers, leaning towards your ear, and it’s truly like you can’t hear him. Your eyes still glued to the movie while a little fight ensues between the characters. “Honey?”
“Yeah?” you ask, looking over at him finally. Your chest heaves and you lick your lips, looking a little dazed.
Steve smiles. “Do you like that?”
Your eyes widen. “Do I like what?”
One of his big hands rests on your thigh and he smiles a little wider when they clench again. “You like gettin’ chased and pinned down, huh?”
You laugh abruptly and take his hand off of your thigh, quick to uncross your legs. “You’re insane,” you scoff, and Steve can’t help but to press further.
“Then why are you so worked up, huh? You can’t hide that from me. I can see how turned on you are.”
“I’m just - I’m just freaked out.”
Steve hums. “I don’t think so.”
“Okay, smartass. What do you think, then?”
He raises his brows. “What I think,” he says lowly, leaning in towards you, “is that you want a big, strong man to chase you, pin you down, and fuck you.”
You balk at him, eyes frantically searching his face to see if he’s serious or not. If you’re really caught or not. “You’re way off base.”
“So you’re telling me you don’t like it when I have to chase you through the living room to get a kiss? Or when I pin you down like this?”
He lunges forward, pressing your back down against the couch and climbing on top of you. This time, you actually moan, even though he hasn’t done anything to you yet. “Fuck, Steve, stop-“ But just as quickly as he moves away, you grab him and bring him back, face and chest alight with embarrassment and arousal.
“So you do like this?” he asks, much more serious this time as he pins your hands above your head.
“I like it too much,” you breathe. “I know it’s fucked up.”
He’s repulsed by you saying that. Sure, he’s a pretty vanilla guy. But he likes servicing more than anything. If you told him you wanted him to chase you through the woods and fuck you when he captures you, he will. Easy.
So he does, a week later.
It’s around dusk and you’re standing at the edge of his property, facing the woods. You meticulously planned this out, safe word and all. You’re giddy, bouncing on your feet while Steve does stretches - he hasn’t played basketball in a hot minute.
“I think I might really outrun you,” you say excitedly.
“Not in those shoes,” he counters, eyes flicking towards your mary janes. “I know that’s the point, but couldn’t you have worn some sneakers?”
“I’m playing the part.” You’re still bouncing like you’ll take off any second, smiling. You’re wearing a white blouse and a skirt, too, with tights on underneath. Easy access, you’d explained, because your fuck in the woods will have to be relatively quick considering the exhibitionism of it all.
Steve stands, black Levis gripping onto his skin, a simple navy t-shirt on. He’s not wearing underwear and, yes, he already regrets it. He gives you a once over. You’re definitely pretty enough to chase, something he doesn’t want to let slip through his fingers.
“You ready?”
You take a deep breath and nod, turning back around to face the woods. Steve’s cock is already getting hard. This isn’t exactly his thing, but your excitement, paired with that skin tight skirt, certainly does something for him.
“I’m giving you a ten second head start,” he says smoothly. You already know this, but it’s part of the game. “I’ll count out loud so you can hear. And you’d better run, baby. Once I catch you, you’re mine.”
He pauses for dramatic effect. The tension in the air is thick, your body ready to move at any moment.
“One.”
He starts his chase after ten. He has to admit that he feels like a creep, stalking you in the woods, but he’s a little bit enthralled, too. You’re probably already dripping for him. There’s a reward at the end of this. Two, actually. He’ll get to cum, sure, but more importantly, you’ll get to.
You must not be running very fast because he’s already gaining on you, can see your white shirt through gaps in the trees. And now he feels elated. With you in sight, it’s a little fun. He picks up his pace, dodging broken branches and boulders. He waits to snag you until you’re at a good spot, with more leaves on the ground that rocks.
Steve tackles you, pinning your body beneath his, his chest against your back. “Where do you think you’re goin’?” he asks, grinding into your ass, and then, “You okay?”
You nod and he exhales, relieved. You pant under him, writhing, trying your absolute damndest to get out from under him. You moan, nothing but excited, and Steve’s hand glides up your leg and under your skirt. He squeezes your ass and chuckles, leaning down to press his lips against your ear. “Go on, baby, tire yourself out.”
“Fuck you,” you pant, playful. “You’re slower than I thought you’d be.”
You cry out when he spanks you. “Who’s on top of who, huh?”
He sits on your legs, keeping them spread wide and you pinned. His hands push your skirt up and he tears your tights at the seam, exposing your ass and pussy. You still squirm as his fingers trail along your skin until finally reaching your slit.
“Holy shit,” he gasps, involuntarily. You’re so wet down here. He’s positively never felt a wetter pussy in his life. And now he can really lean into it, his own arousal spiking, jeans tenting. “You really get off on this, huh? Needed this all along, didn’t you? Your big strong boyfriend to pin you down and take what’s his?”
“Steve,” you moan, hips arching back.
“Tell me, baby. How much you want me to fuck you like this.”
“Please!”
He spanks you again, cock kicking while he watches your ass jiggle. Even your thighs are soaked. “Please what?”
You push your ass back as best as you can again, arching further. “Please fuck me.”
He hums and uses his thumbs to part your slit, nearly busting at the sight of your wet, clenching hole. “Gotta stretch you out first,” he mumbles, thumbs moving inward. “Don’t want it to hurt, do we, honey?”
Steve sinks a thumb inside of you. You moan loudly, fingernails digging into the dirt below. He only lets the tip rest inside of you, not yet daring to go any further. He wants to see how desperate he can get you.
“God, please fuck me, Steve,” you moan, trying and failing to push back onto him. “I’m so wet for you, just - just rail me, please!”
Now he’s fishing his cock out of his pants because holy shit. He fists himself, precum dripping from his slit. He’s nearly as sensitive as you are, and watching you flutter around his thumb makes his stomach flip. “You really think you can take it? Without any prep? Your hole’s so tiny, honey, I’d break you in two.”
“Then do it,” you whimper. “It hurts without you.”
He finally gives in, letting his thumb sink all the way inside of you. You groan gutturally over what Steve would consider to be nothing. His thumb is no where near the size of his cock.
“Think I might break your brain when I finally fuck you,” he taunts, letting his thumb glide in and out of you.
“Do it,” you repeat, voice strained. “I - I mean it.”
“You’re serious? What color are you?”
“Green,” you plead. “So goddamn green, Steve, I trust you. I trust you so much, just need to feel you.”
He hesitates. “It might hurt, baby.”
“I want it to. Fuck, I w-wanna be your mindless little wh-whore so bad, want you to t-take me, please Stevie? I belong to you.”
Steve’s head spins. He knew you’d be turned on, but this is almost unreal. You’re soaking past his thumb and down onto his wrist. “Tell you what, okay? I’m gonna put two fingers inside of you and get you a little more stretched out, and then I’ll do whatever you want.”
You nod. “Please please please, I feel so empty.”
He replaces his thumb with his index finger first, then quickly adds his middle finger. You gasp and groan under him, writhing in pleasure. Steve’s writhing a little, too, cock aching without his hand on it. You’re going to feel so divine, he’s sure of it. He pumps his fingers in and out a few times, before pulling them out and replacing them with the tip of his cock.
“You’re beautiful,” he says, leaning forward. He lets up on your legs and pins you with his body instead, propped up on his elbow. His other hand works his cock up and down your folds, relishing in the wet warmth of your pussy. “This pussy’s so pretty, baby. You doing okay?”
You nod, though you’re so horny that it takes you a minute to find words. “I’d be better if you fu-“
He almost busts at the noise you make. A low, long whine, ripped from your throat as he fucks his cock into you slowly. He wishes he could see your face - eyes rolled back, mouth agape - while he’s stretching you out. He moves slow, stopping periodically to get you used to him and only continuing when your ass juts backwards to take more. You’re boneless when he’s finally fully inside of you, balls pressed against your aching clit.
“There we go,” he coos. “How’s it feel?”
It takes you another moment. “You’re so fucking big,” you whine, on the verge of tears. “So good.”
Steve tries to give you another minute, but you’re quick to start fucking back onto him instead. As best as you can, at least, given your hips are pressed to the ground. Steve wraps his arm around your neck, putting you in a headlock, before pulling out and slamming back into you.
“Shit!” you cry, one hand gripping onto his arm. “Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit….”
“Breathe, baby,” he whispers, pressing a kiss to your ear. As he slides back out slowly, he mumbles, “Deep breath in for me….”
You do as you’re told, gasping in air.
“Now, out.”
You didn’t need direction - the impact knocks the breath out of your lungs itself. He buries himself, wiggling his hips push entirely into you, until he has no where else to go.
“In.”
You take in a sharp inhale. He pulls back, until the head of his cock stretches your opening.
“Out.”
He slams back in, balls slapping against your clit, a lewd squelch making his cock throb.
“There you go,” Steve urges, fucking you a little faster. “K-keep breathin’, peach.”
You’re crying, wailing, moaning. Stuttering out ‘green!’ when Steve asks if you’re okay. He’s so close already, but he wants to see your face when you cum. He pulls out and sits back, rubbing your back soothingly. “Wanna see you, baby, flip over.”
You’re slow to do it, positively cock drunk, and yet quick to wrap your legs around his waist when you finally get there.
“Hi,” he whispers, leaning forward to kiss you as his cock sinks back inside of you.
“Hi,” you answer when he finally pulls away. “Mmm…my shirt, Steve.”
“‘s it okay?”
You nod. “Rip it.”
So he does, a little earnestly. It takes him a few tries to really get the buttons to pop and expose your tits. He almost forgot you had them. Steve’s quick to put his hands on them, pinching and pulling at your nipples.
“Touch your clit, baby,” he instructs, voice shaking. He fucks you fast, each push in feeling like complete bliss. He’s never been happier to fuck raw. “Wanna see you cum on my cock.”
You tighten around him the moment your fingers touch the sensitive bud, head thrown back, eyes reeling. You feel so good that you can hardly even find the energy and strength to touch yourself. Every stroke sends your body jolting, your cunt gripping Steve so hard you’re nearly pushing him out.
“Can I cum?” you whine, tits bouncing, eyes wet. It’s so dirty. Steve’s cock pulses - he’s close, too.
“Cum,” he gasps. “C-cum and I’ll g-give you my fu-fucking load deep in this little p-pussy, baby, gonna make you so f-full….”
He kisses you to muffle your scream. Your body jerks under him, fingers digging into his arms and then back into the dirt and then into his back all in the span of a few seconds. You writhe, legs tight around him, your hand working fast to keep you cumming. You seem to be getting even wetter, Steve realizes. And then he realizes you’re squirting.
“Oh fuck,” he groans, high pitched and needy. “Fuck baby, oh fuck, honey, I’m gonna cum, gonna cum in this pussy. Shit, I love you, I love you, I l-“
Steve shouts when he cums, eyes rolling back and stomach flexing hard. He pushes in fully, until there’s hit a single inch separating you two, filling you with sticky, hot cum. You moan lowly at the feeling, still euphoric from your own orgasm. You only have half the mind to grab Steve’s shirt and pull him down into a messy kiss.
He collapses on top of you, panting and sweating with you. You both shake, aftershocks making your body jerk. It feels like hours before you can speak, throat raw.
“I’m in love with you.”
Steve laughs. “That good, huh?”
“I’m so goddamn in love with you.”
“I’m in love with you, too.”
You pet his hair, staring up at the trees. “I really don’t know if I can walk.”
“I’ll help you.”
At home, you sink into a bath together after an initial shower to scrub away any leftover dirt. You’re both sore, knees scraped. The hot water feels like a luxury, Steve’s skin soft against yours. Your eyes fall shut and you relax, though your orgasm has sent you into such a relaxed state of bliss already.
“You okay?” he asks, rubbing your legs. The bath water smells like lavender.
You nod. “We’re going to sleep so well tonight.”
“I’m going to be so sore in the morning.”
“Sure are, old man,” you tease. “Next we have to find some niche thing you really like.”
“You don’t owe me anything,” he says.
“If you did this for me, I’ll do just about anything for you.”
He smiles and sighs, his head resting against the wall behind him. “How about you take over my shifts at Family Video for a year?”
You pinch his shin. “I said just about anything.”

Aegon was suspicious. Sure, he fucked whenever and however he wanted. Regardless of outside activities, something was off in his meticulously planned life. Planned by others, of course, he couldn't give a rat's ass. The prince just had been wed to his sister, the less strange one. She was suspiciously…competent in bed. He could swear she was supposed to be a maiden. She was- bled during the bedding ceremony when he first fucked her.
But the way she rode his cock was good. Too good. Aegon knew he shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Frankly, it was eating him up. She even gave fantastic head! Who the fuck had taught her that? He narrowed his eyes at her, the fellow blonde looking bored at supper.
Aegon took a swig of his wine, eyes dark as he studied her. Maybe if he looked long enough someone would jump up and act jealous. What if she was secret fuckmates with his nephew? Aegon had a vague memory of a sordid rumor regarding Jacaerys Velaryon's horse cock. He would kill himself, truly. He could imagine the letter, “Sorry mother, I couldn’t take that shame, yes I know I live in constant shame, but this was the final straw.”
His sister-wife was staring now. She raised a brow in question. “Why are you staring at me like that?” Aegon grumbled, “Nothing. Just looking. Can’t have a look, alright then.”
She scoffed, “You can look, but you’re looking as if you’re about to eat my face.”
Oh. Aegon blushed in embarrassment. He drank more wine, mumbling a ‘sorry’. He didn’t want to broach the subject at supper. The prince’s damn family was nosy enough as is, he didn’t need Aemond’s big ass nose in his ear. Or one of those frightful looks from Alicent. If Aegon got lectured by Otto or Criston he would consider stabbing himself.
Aegon mulled over what he should do next between bites of mutton. She obviously wasn’t going to the Street of Silk, because that was his domain. Someone would’ve peeped already. He reluctantly knew when Daemon was visiting. Every. Damn. Time. Why would Aegon want to hear about the fuckhead's potency issues?
Mayhaps he should get her on the cusp of orgasm and demand who her secret lover-teacher-whatever was. That seemed sound enough to Aegon. When he was about to nut? One could ask him anything, there would be an answer. The prince smiled enigmatically, laughing to himself.
To which his sister-wife said, “You’re acting strange tonight.”
Aegon cooed, “Sorry, just dreaming a bit.”
Under the table he put a lecherous hand on her thigh, squeezing over her soft dress. His sister blushed and squirmed, fork awkwardly clanking across the plate. The woman hissed, “Okay I get it!” She cleared her throat, ignoring any stares. Aegon smirked and squeezed a bit higher, plump lips splitting into a grin.
Tumblr media
Aegon had immediately crowded her smaller frame in the bedroom, plush lips attacking her neck, impatient hands pulling at her dress. She moaned, walking backward into the bed, yelping when Aegon crawled atop. He murmured, “You looked ravishing tonight, I couldn’t help myself.”
“Uh, huh, the clasps you fool,” she groaned.
Aegon huffed, probably tearing the fabric as he separated the back of the dress. She began to shuck the dress off while he awkwardly pulled off his breeches. They giggled a bit making eye contact; Aegon unbuttoning his tunic and her unlacing the corset. Soon they were both naked, grinning and kissing, her soft skin rubbing against his.
Aegon grabbed her thighs, mouthing at a tit and playfully nipping at it. She squeaked, thighs tightening around his waist, throwing long blonde hair back. His wife cried out, “Aegon! Quit playing!” He pulled off her nipple, murmuring between little kisses, “Why, is the princess needy?”
He slipped a ringed finger between her folds, finding her wetter than expected. Aegon dipped into her cunt, laughing, “Ah she is, little whore.” The princess writhed a bit, leaning up to capture his lips, lapping into his mouth hungrily. The prince returned her eager movements, curling his fingers into her pussy, letting her ride his hand.
“Fuck, you’re a doll,” he swore, “Perfect.”
She whined and arched up into him, hips canting on his hand. Aegon used his other hand to play with her sensitive tits, thumb circling around a budded nipple. She shivered and cried his name again, a pretty blush diffusing across her pallid skin. The prince hummed “Are you going to come for me sweetling? So soon?”
“Ngh, please, yes Aegon!”
He sped up his movements, feeling her tighten and twitch, the princess on the precipice. Aegon moaned before gathering himself, his pulsing cock was scrambling relative coherency. As it did. He panted, “Gonna count down and I want you to let go okay? Then I’ll fuck your pretty cunt.”
She nodded with lidded eyes, mouth hung open. The picture of ecstasy. Aegon smirked as he spoke.
…10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
“Oh gods Aegon!”
“Who are you fucking!”
She writhed through the helpless orgasm, confusion evident on her twisting features. Aegon couldn’t help but throb AND be quite annoyed. He slurped the juices off his fingers, leaning back with a look. The prince was feeling sullen and not sure if he wanted to play anymore. His wife stared up at him and echoed “Who…am I fucking. What?”
Aegon pouted. This didn’t go to plan. He rolled his eyes and explained, “You excel, frighteningly so, at our bedroom activities. Yes, yes I know you were still a maiden at our wedding. But I am onto you, I don't know much but I do know about fucking, dearest."
“Are you kidding me? This is ludicrous Aegon!”
She had sat up now, crossing her arms, lips pouty. The prince stated as if it was obvious, “You know your way around a cock. Obviously, this comes with experience. I’ve bedded many a maiden and they usually just stare until you flip them over. So who’s the secret mentor?”
She scoffed in horror, cheeks reddening further, “I can’t believe this Aegon! You’re an idiot! I’m not fucking anyone else! Unlike you!”
“Lies you tell, no spring maiden has gargled my balls!” he accused, face growing equally red in frustration, ringed finger pointing at her.
His sister grew quiet, looking away. She mumbled “Fine. Do you want to know who it is so bad? This stays between us.”
Aegon nodded, impatiently gesturing for her to come out with it. She seemed to grow more uncomfortable. Then spit out a name so low and fast he couldn’t hear. Tonight might be the night he explodes. The prince groaned, “Oh my gods, just say it in a normal tone!”
“Larys Strong!”
What?
He burst into laughter. The prince guffawed, clutching his stomach, shaking with humor. She gaped “What? I’m not lying!” Aegon laughed some more thinking about the foot monger, he’s a bigger virgin than anyone in the keep. He breathlessly chuckled, “Good one, yeah right dear.”
She began to pull on her chemise, annoyed now. Aegon grasped at her thigh, pleading between fits of giggles, “I don’t know why you’re hiding this? I don’t care who you go and find pleasure with. Unless it’s truly Larys. C’monnnn love don’t leave.”
“This isn’t a laughing matter. You’re making up things. What if I’m just good at carnal activities hm Aegon? You're an ass!”
Aegon contemplated the possibility, “Sure, that could be true. Now stop being huffy and come here. I said I’d fuck your pretty pussy.”
She stared down at him before taking her chemise back off. The princess hissed, “You’re a right asshole you know that? You better fuck me good. Prick.”
Aegon laughed again, cheeks hurting from his fit of humor. He maneuvered her onto all fours, sliding his cock against her still-wet folds. He pressed kisses to her shoulder, nosing sweet-smelling hair. He placed a hand on her tight stomach, humming, “I’m sorry dear, I’ll make it better Hm?” He slid in, watching her pretty eyes roll up in her head.
Tumblr media
Aegon still wanted to know who his sister was fornicating. She probably was still seeing this person. All he knew was that they resided in the Red Keep and certainly not Larys Strong. The prince had to open his mind to the possibilities of women too. There were many a pretty handmaiden who tended to his wife.
He frowned in thought, sipping his wine. Aegon sat next to his stiff bitch of a brother in the library of all places. Secretly, Aegon hoped the knowledge in the room would give him some magical foresight gift- but not that weird shit Helaena did sometimes.
His wife fucking a handmaiden- that felt too overt. He’d only seen his sister gag and moon over visiting knights and lordlings. Next to Aegon sat his irritated brother. Aemond was quiet, too quiet. He and their sister got along quite well? Aegon's eyes turned to his not-so-little brother.
“Aem.”
“Why are you speaking to me? I’m trying to read.”
“I have a question. That's why, you frozen-faced ass.”
Aemond picked his head up and glared, slamming his book closed. He huffed “What, oh, what, could your drunkenness possibly ask from me? No, I’m not covering your ass again.”
Aegon snorted. His brother was such a frigid quim. He acted like Criston Cole, peacocking around the place, chip on their shoulder. The elder asked “Look. I’ll just be blunt with you. Our sister, my wife. She is merely too good in the sack. Are you fucking her? Is she fucking you?”
Aemond’s jaw audibly clicked in annoyance. He struggled over his tongue, face red. The second son stood up, slamming his hands on the stone. He retreated with a swish of hair and growled, “Buffoon.”
Aegon called after him, “Your behavior has not marked you off my list!”
"Fuck you and your list! Drunkard!!"
Icy little prick. Aegon rolled his eyes, pondering on his next target. Perhaps Jason Lannister? He was wooing any Targaryen princess for his sons. Or possibly Ser Arryk, her sworn shield. Aegon would go to them next. Then maybe do a night check on Aemond’s quarters. His wife was busy with their mother all day anyway. How boring.
Tumblr media
Safe to say the prince was still vexed. Jason Lannister laughed in his face and Ser Arryk was extremely confused. He replied in that dumb voice of his, “The princess and I? I’m not that simple your grace. Some of us Kingsguard do take our vows seriously, although I can’t say the same for others.”
He refused to elaborate afterward, Aegon throwing his hands up and moving to the next destination. While walking, he pondered Arryk’s words. Could it be another Kingsguard? Maybe Erryk? Criston had already used up his one allotted Princess fucking and it turned him sour. Erryk would stay on Aegon’s list, the other men too plain ugly or on Dragonstone.
Too annoyed to try any decorum, Aegon simply kicked Aemond’s door open. The younger prince squawked in shock, his hair flying around. Why was there a portrait of Daemon? Why was there another half-finished portrait of Aemond obviously in the same style? Aegon spluttered, “What the fuck? You’re so weird! Daemon? Blech brother!”
Aemond, hair tied back and wearing simple clothes smudged with paint— was positively furious. He hollered, “Get the hell out! I’m not fornicating with our sister! She’s your wife! Say a word of this and I’m making you a Eunuch!”
Aegon was booted out, literally, as in Aemond’s big fucking boot kicked him in the arse.
“Should’ve known. Weirdo,” Aegon grumbled.
He limped back to his quarters, dreadfully needing a sip of wine and someone’s lips around his cock. Today was dreadful. He actually tried to do something. Which trying was rare for him! The prince went to open his door, only to step back when Ser Criston exited.
He raised a brow. Criston looked at him blankly, dark eyes placid. Aegon asked, “What were you doing?” The Kingsguard scoffed, “Your sister was having a fit about a spider, I heard her yowling and killed said spider. Goodnight my prince.”
Aegon glared at the surly marcher, shaking his head and entering the chambers. He immediately went to the table and drank straight from the bottle, deep, deep pulls of relief. The blonde placed it down and sighed, turning towards his bed.
His wife sat there, eyes wide, wearing only her askew shift. Aegon bitched, “Oh. Nice to see you too. Maybe a ‘Hello lord husband, how are you?’ would suffice.”
The Princess’ cheeks were pink. He guessed from the embarrassment of having Ser Criston kill a small bug. Then explained again why Ser Criston had to kill a small bug. She mumbled, “Oh, sorry, I thought you were at the brothels.”
Aegon plopped down in a chair, grabbing the bottle. He whined, “Nope! Been trying to find out who your mystery lover is all day. No one wants to pipe up! I should’ve gone.”
She gazed downwards, biting on swollen lips. The princess stood up on shaky legs, making her way to Aegon and kneeling between his lax thighs. She hummed, tracing a finger up one, feeling the muscle twitch. His sister mused, “Can I take your mind off this mystery lover? You’re much more desirable to me. Don't they say the blood of the dragon reaches out to another?”
“Sure, definitely” he whined again. Aegon would pout this out, it was his specialty. He honestly was hurt, why couldn’t he know their identity? Sure he’d get jealous and probably ban her from seeing them but still! He was sad!
“Am I that unappealing to you?” he whimpered, tears pricking at violet eyes, frustration and self-pity leaking over.
She sighed heavily, wrapping her arms around his midsection. The princess laid her head upon his thigh and cooed, “No. You’re my husband, my blood, we are a union now. That partnership…started because I was afraid you would find me boring. So I wanted to know how to please a man.”
Aegon sulked and sniffled some more, taking another deep drink from his goblet. The familiar fuzz was coming along nicely, patching up his insecurities. But it was nice to hear her admit a smidgeon of truth. She kissed his leg and continued, “Aegon dear, have I not pleased you? It was a transaction between the person and me. They wished to make their identity a secret so as not to catch your wroth. I no longer see them like that. I hate that you’re upset, I did this for you.”
Aegon nodded, feeling a bit better. His sister was good. She easily melted his pouting protocol. The female Targaryen rubbed his thighs and moved her mouth to hover over his clothed cock, eyes looking up as she breathed, “Now baby, just relax and let me make this better, hm?”
He moaned softly as she mouthed over his swelling member, nimble fingers untying his breeches, other hand massaging the soft flesh and meat of his thigh. She eased Aegon’s cock and his sac out, groaning with a flutter of her long lashes. The prince squirmed a bit, breathing heavier, holding off a whine.
“Just you and me, sweet baby.”
She was increasingly convincing kitten licking the ruddy head of his prick like that. The girl’s dainty hand wrapped around his length, the other going to hold his balls, keeping them nice and compressed. Aegon’s back arched when she eased him into a silky wet mouth, tongue massaging the underside as his wife hollowed her mouth.
“Mmm,” she hummed.
Aegon responded with a noise he’d rather not dwell on. It was very…emasculating. Gods, she was so good at this. He needed to get over his qualms and just fuck her so good the princess wouldn't stray again. Good and obedient- all for Aegon. He eased her off gently, demanding, "Lay across the bed. Now."
Wide purple eyes stared at him. She murmured, "What? I- I don't need that, let me take care of you."
Aegon shook his head, grinning, the drink emboldening him. Something about Arbor Red made him impossibly aroused and giddy. He jerked his chin toward the plush bed and laughed. His sister got up, eyes wide and cheeks flushed. She padded and leaned her body over the bed, long legs spread, chemise discarded to display her swollen cunt to him.
Aegon pulled off his breeches as he stalked over, eyes drinking in her pussy. He smacked a hand across her ass and grabbed the stinging flesh. He asked roughly "Did your mystery lover sneak out the servant's exit when Ser Criston heard your yowling?"
"Yes, yes! Sorry, fucking yes!" she shouted.
Aegon's face darkened at her puffy and slick cunt, obvious signs of someone having a feast down there. He ran the blunt tip of his swollen cock across her folds, groaning as he smacked her clit. The prince snapped "You're a goddamn lying slut you know that? A match made in heaven with me huh? Did Ser Criston walk in when you were getting your cunt licked?" He wound a fist in her blonde tresses, pulling it tight.
She shivered and shook her head, whining, "N-ohh, he didn't see!"
"Hm, sure, probably took a peak, the weird bitch. Whatever, I guess I'll have to fuck this person out of your mind? Or you're coming with me to the brothels sister dearest."
He slid into her tight hole, gasping at the ridges and warmth. Aegon tightened the fist in her hair. Maybe he'd fuck a babe in her tonight, then she'd be stuck in his quarters surrounded by maesters and tittering handmaidens. Eugh. Aegon huffed and fucked her at a brisk pace, his other hand smacking her ass every other thrust.
His sister-wife moaned, taking his cock like she was made for it. She fucked back onto him, back arched, tits bouncing. Her cheeks were delightfully flushed as she panted Aegon's name, eyes wet and wide. Aegon leaned over her form and growled, "Don't know who this fucker is but I will find out. He better know whose cunt this is, eh? Shout it, tell the whole goddamn keep who you belong to, sister."
Aegon relished in her little whimper, his fingers pinching her clit as he forced her hips up to drive into her good spot harder. He bit and lapped at her neck, hissing, "C'mon and say it or I'll lock your ass up here with no visitors. Just me and I'll get my fill, fucking snake." She blubbered, seizing around his cock a hair.
"Oh gods, please don't make me howl like that, Aegon, please!"
He fucked the princess rougher, holding her gaze with a tight grip around her chin. She bit her lip, eyes mournful before shouting, "Only you Aegon, I belong to you, yes big brother! Yes! I belong to my husband!"
Aegon grinned like the cat that got the cream. He cooed, "Good little sister, knew you still had it in you." He gripped her throat and refocused on fucking her until she cried. Aegon pinched and licked, played with her tits, circled her clit until she came all over him- yet the prince was still fit to go. Sweet sister was a mess now- covered in bites and hickeys, sweaty hair plastered to her neck. The younger blonde whimpered, "Aeg- Aegon, I- I can't possibly do this again!"
Her eyes were frantic, her cute body shaking and coming apart wondrously. Aegon hummed, "You will come for me again sweetling. I know you can, just whining on my prick like you were paid for it? Does he fuck you like this huh? Make you see stars?"
"N-noooo, only you!"
"Good girl, come on now, wanna feel that sweet pussy of yours cream around me one more time. Then I'll fill you up deep- maybe he won't come around when you are all ripe with," he punctuated his next words with thrusts, "My. Goddamn. Child."
The princess wailed softly, overused and overstimulated. She felt the crest of another burning orgasm flaring up and forcing red hot tears down her blotchy cheeks. It was intense and she cried harder when Aegon's thick seed stuffed her twitching cunt and womb to the brim. He seemed to be satisfied now, cooing at her, "There we go, ffuck, that's my sweet girl. See, don't need anyone else around now hm?"
Aegon wiped her gorgeous tears, smiling victoriously. She cuddled into his arms, letting her husband soothe and stroke her trembling flesh. He even hollered for a servant to grab some water. The prince murmured, "You did so good, such a good wife, yes, maybe just a bit of punishment does sweet sister well." He grew quieter and pressed a kiss to her soft forehead, "I love you, truly, for tolerating a failure like me."
She smiled softly and pecked Aegon's full lips, her own swollen from tonight. Aegon wiped her tears as she sighed, "I love you too Aegon. Buffoon you may be. I hope the seed takes. No more about mystery lovers. The whole keep has heard now sweetheart."
Aegon smirked, hoping every single soul heard.
One soul in particular did, his black gloves tightening in annoyance. He was down the hall before turning back and having to hear the heir...rudely fuck his sister-wife. With a growl and swish of the cloak, the true mystery lover was gone. She'd be back in his arms sooner or later. Aegon couldn't fuck him out of her soft heart.

Hey!! I don’t know if you do requests but I have been exploring your page and figured I might as well ask :)- SO if you’re open to it, I would love to see a Dick Grayson x Reader where they’re friends at first (lots of tension) and she knows he’s nightwing but doesn’t get involved bc she’s a civilian and he wants her to keep a safe distance from it, BUT one day they’re hanging out together and a villain shoots her with some sort of blaster and the effects mess with her and end up giving her some type of meta human ability (your choice!) she ends up freaking out and he helps her gather her composure and comforts her with a lil angsty fic where he’s rlly worried but then she ends up being okay- IF YOU DONT DO REQUESTS DONT FEEL PRESSURED TO DO THIS ‼️ thank you so much for your time babe :)

Tumblr media
for once it seemed to be a pleasant day in gotham. early spring with flowers blooming brightly and trees growing to share their shade with commuters. the sky was like a shimmering ocean with how blue and cloudless it was; it seemed like everyone was outside if they didn’t have an obligation somewhere.
you and dick were two people taking advantage of the once-in-a-blue-moon seasonal weather. dick was growing his hair out while he was away at college so when the sweet-scented breeze swept by it toyed with his jet-black strands, some sticking in the air and others poking his eyes. he was wearing a long sleeve white cotton shirt, his sleeves pushed to his elbows with two top buttons left open to show more of his collarbones off. his long legs and thick thighs were covered in a light blue pair of levi’s 501s and damn did they do him excellent justice, your eyes couldn’t help but glance over every chance you could for just a peek.
“sweetheart!” was called which was followed by a light shove to your left shoulder. you blinked a few times and quickly shook your head then turned to see dick staring at you with a smirk on his pink lips. “you okay?”
a slow blink, “yeah.” you coughed then looked forward, “yeah. all good, just…zoned out.” trying to play it off.
“oh, so my talk about the latest night activities is boring to you?” a playful hurt tone as dick set his open palm on his chest. he added a pout for more dramatics.
now you rolled your eyes and shoved his right shoulder which didn’t do anything to his tall and muscular figure, he just chuckled at your attempt. 
“no. talks of your night activities are interesting. i just got concerned after a while. still makes me nervous, hearing you talk about riddler or penguin or even joker like it’s something normal.” your eyes held a softness as they locked with dick’s. his baby blues melting at your words.
he looked forward then licked his lips before saying, “well it is my normal. i’ve been dealing with some of these people since i was thirteen. kinda got used to them and their gimmicks.” shrugging his words off.
the both of you went quiet. the background noise of children giggling and screaming from joy in the park, dogs barking and rushing about to chase thrown sticks. parents with strollers chatting beside each other getting in some steps, and a few older men sitting at a stone chess table and playing their game in their comfortable silence.
shyly you glanced down to see your hands swinging beside each other. you bit into your bottom lip and swooped in, sandwiching your hands together before looking straight down your path. dick didn’t say anything, you only felt the way his hand squeezed yours and the goosebump-inducing way his eyes were watching you.
“why don’t you restart your account? i’ll listen this time.” taking a glance at the handsome boy before forcing your eyes away.
he hummed but didn’t say anything right away. you didn’t bother forcing him to retell the story, rather enjoying the blissful bubble that formed around the two of you. but after a few minutes rolled past, dick slowly started to dive into retelling his encounter with riddler when he was patrolling with bruce. his unoccupied hand moving about in the air, not able to keep any part of his body still. you watched his face with intense focus, pupils following the movement of his jaw and the way his lips formed his words.
just staring at him made your heart thump thump thump faster.
“and so i threw one of my sticks and caused the machine to blow up.” that was all you were able to catch before screaming erupted causing chaos. people were running any way they could, some tripping and falling as the ground shook.
your knees buckled from the unexpected quake, but dick wrapped his arms tight around your middle and held you flush to his chest. you could practically feel his heart beating against your back and on his pulse point where your fingers circled his wrist. 
green smoke starts to flood the slowly deserted park. large monstrous roots break apart concrete and patches of grass, and sharp thorns barely miss bystanders. “ivy.” dick’s voice dropped an octave, his hold on your tightening even further you thought he was gonna break a rib.
“dick, what’s-” “we need to leave. now!” dick pushed the both of you forward, his more giant hand crushing yours as you pushed your shorter legs to run faster.
just as you rounded a bend, one of the thick roots tangled itself tight around your ankle, causing you to trip and sprain your wrist. a strained cry for dick as the plant tugged you along the ground, spiked thorns digging harshly into your skin. Then suddenly you came to a stop and there was a loud snapping sound behind you. when glancing over your shoulder the root was broken in two, dick removed the piece stuck to your bleeding skin. you couldn’t help the pathetic whimpers or the tears staining your cheeks.
“it’s okay. it’s okay, sweetheart. i got you, you're safe with me.” dick was comforting you as he shuffled your body around so he could hold you in a fireman's hold. your arms started to feel like dead weight as you worked to fling them over dick’s shoulders to keep yourself close to his heart.
“dick… i don’t- i don’t feel…” and everything went black behind your eyes and static rang in your ears.
-
there was a tingle in your body, zipping up and down, head to toe hitting every nerve ending. muscles felt coiled tight, and sore like you did too many workout sessions at once. a groan deep in your throat as you tried moving your arms, pushing yourself upward.
“woah, woah strong girl. stay down.” firm hands held your upper arms to lay you gently when you moved your hands away.
squeezing your eyes tight before trying to peel them apart, feeling eye boogers crusting the edges near your lashes. your throat felt like sandpaper as you tried asking, “what- what hap-“ “wait, wait. drink some water.”
dick’s voice was low and gentle. a hand warm and firm holding the back of your neck as your lips fumbled for the plastic straw so you could sip down ice cold water to soothe the ache in your throat. a relieved sigh just as you opened your eyes completely.
dick was leaning over you, overhead lighting casting him in a halo glow. his growing black hair falling forward, his stunning blue eyes moving quickly and you noticed his dark circles looked deeper. his plush chapped lips turned to a saddened smile with the corners turned up.
“there she is. there’s my girl.” it was almost a purr and a delighted sigh escaped from you as you let your body relax.
your heart monitor started to beat quicker and you felt warm knowing it was due to dick and his words, but he looked panicked and then called for bruce.
“dick, it’s nothing serious.” not understanding why he was stressing when he’d usually just tease you. reaching with your right hand to touch him, you stopped short when you saw the skin of your hand was… green.
looking at your other hand and it was also green. you pushed the white sleeves up your arms and more green just followed. now you had a reason for your heart to beat faster, you were panicking, not understanding what happened to you.
“y/n, i need you to slow your heart rate. your body will react differently with this chemical in your blood.” bruce’s deep commanding voice went in one ear out the other. you tried taking slower breaths, curling your fingers into your palms to ground yourself. none of it was working.
“dick, what’s happening? what happened after the park?” voice getting wobbly and thick with emotion.
he licked his lips and reached towards you before pulling back, it hurt you to see that. “you- you passed out in the park and so i brought you back to the manor. and alfred was taking care of you until your skin started to stain into his green shade. so we took some blood samples and brought you down here for safety, turns out…”
he trailed off as he licked his lips again. “what, dick? what’s infected me?” trying to sound firm but it cracked on the word infected. scared this might be permanent.
dick sighed, “we’re still not one hundred percent sure. but can confirm that it’s from poison ivy, which explains the green complexion. which- which doesn’t change your beauty, glowing even more.” he rambled as you got quiet.
without realizing it, you slowed your heart rate back to normal. bruce and dick seemed more calm and dick walked closer to rest his hand over yours.
“i don’t want to be stuck like this.” shiny teardrops fell from your eyes and down your cheeks. you didn’t want to be different, chemically altered. you liked who you were, completely fine in your mundane life.
dick moved his palms to cradle your plush cheeks, his thumb or knuckle working to swipe away your distress and fear. “it’s okay. we’re- bruce is working on an antidote. should take a week, tops.”
“a week!” almost yelling at this information. “i- i can’t be out of work for a week. my boss will kill me.” groaning to yourself.
“hey,” dick whispered the word and tilted your head to make eye contact with him. “it’s okay. already told your boss a version of medical retellings. and bruce already put more than a month's worth of pay into your checking account.”
“i- i can’t accept that. that’s too generous of him.” overwhelmed by the care and looking after. not used to all this. dick thumbed at your cheek, “we just need you to stay here and get better. i’ll be by your side the whole time.”
you sank your teeth into your bottom lip, “you will? don’t you have things to do? i- i don’t want to be a burden.”
“no, no.” he leaned forward to plant a kiss on your forehead, “you're not a burden in any way. i’m happy to spend any amount of time with you. you're my favorite person in this whole world.”
you felt warm and bet he could feel the heat growing on your face, “really? what about wally?” trying to play off how strong his words affect you.
his smile was easy, lovely. his eyes are warm and homely. his touch gentle and grounding. “wally already knows you’re my favorite person. he’s accepted that he’s second.” and he leaned forward again to plant a longer, lingering kiss on your forehead. eyes closing as you hold onto his wrist.
“it’ll be okay.” words kissed into your skin.

First Ultrasound | Quadruple The Love H.S
A/N: Just so we are clear, I'm not purposefully picking white girls to play the role! I'm just picking cute photos! - Also, there are more quadruplet images of Caucasian babies smh lol, but I will use POC photos as well! It's Y/N series, not an x person series so the skin color will more than likely not stay consistent!
QTL masterlist Read on Wattpad
Full masterlist
"Babe, I can see you sweating from here" Harry chuckled, walking towards me from the car.
Harry dropped me off at the automatic doors, the awkward wait and stares at my belly making me uncomfortable as he parked the car.
“Shut up! It’s fucking hot, Harry” I groaned, Harry intertwining our hands the welcomed AC
Checking in for something other than a pap smear and a stomach virus felt weird. 
I turned to look up at Harry as he filled out one of the forms, passing the front desk woman our insurance car, a grin on my face as it started to set in why we were here.
I was here for a baby. My baby. We were pregnant. I'm getting a checkup and an ultrasound.
Harry kept his hand in mine as we walked the halls, reaching the OBYN waiting room, quite a few pregnant people and there partners were sat. A few girls were on their own, and one girl had another girl sat next to her, both of them looking over a baby must haves magazine.
"Let's sit over here" Harry murmured quietly, dragging me towards a back cornered area of the waiting room next to a kids activity table.
"Aw!" I cooed, "Look how small" I pointed at the little kid chairs and coloring books.
I felt the waterworks start, Harry chuckling as he snatched a coloring book off the table along with a box of crayons.
"What are you doing?" I asked, pulling myself back together, sitting down next to him.
"Coloring" he replied like it was obvious.
"It's a kids coloring book"
"So"
"Oh my god" I laughed, Harry flipping through the book, landing on a page of a cat with a mermaid tail
Tumblr media
Harry colored the page, ignoring my teasing comments, passing me a crayon to join him before my name was called, the nurse grinning as Harry set the coloring book and crayons back on the table.
"If you can just step on the scale real quick. Would you like to know your weight or not?" She asked, respecting that I opted out, marking down the numbers before leading us to one of the rooms.
I thought getting STD tested was scary, but answering nurses questions for your file when you're pregnant is way scarier.
What if my numbers are too high? or low? What I have some weird blood type that is going to corrupt this child? What if I already had a bad weight gain? What if I'm already on the road to some sort of high risk pregnancy like diabetes or preeclampsia?
"Y/N? You have to uncross your legs and relax babe" Harry noted, the blood pressure cuff getting strapped around my bicep.
I sighed, nodding as I tried to relax, hating feeling the cuff tighten around my arm.
Did it have to hurt so much?
When the nurse confirmed that I was pregnant, my heart dropped to my stomach, the feeling of needing to throw up causing my throat to tighten.
There was a huge smile on Harry's face as the nurse continued to explain the next steps, but all I could think about was;
I'm pregnant.
I have a baby inside of me.
I'm in charge of another human. This humans life is in my hands. In my womb.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Harry rushed, pushing himself out of the chair and to my aid, "breathe. in, out" Harry coax, catching the nurses attention.
I did some deep breathing, getting myself to calm down, Harry's hand squeezing my own when he mouthed "Are you okay?" to which I nodded, only for the nurse to ask me if this was an unwanted baby.
"It's in your chart that you've been trying?" She asked, sounding confused.
"We have" Harry confirmed, the nurse looking over at me, confused.
"I just.. I'm pregnant" I spoke softly, Harry's brow furrowing. "I'm excited... but I'm.. I'm terrified. It's all on my shoulders to keep this baby safe. I'm just.."
"Y/N, breathe" Harry inhaled, then exhaled, having me follow him.
"I'm sorry" my voice cracked, my eyes stinging as tears threatened to rush down my cheeks.
I'm already a horrible mother.
I can't even act excited in front of the nurse.
"It's natural to be nervous" the nurse eased, my slight nod and Harry's soothing knuckle motion hopefully being enough to calm my nervous system. "You can be over the moon and terrified all at the same time. It's perfectly normal" He continued.
"I know.. I just.." I chewed my lower lip, "What if something happens? I mean, it's a miracle I'm pregnant to begin with and now.. and now that it's actually happened how do I make sure I don't mess it up?"
"Mrs. Styles, we're going to do our best and make sure you and your baby are healthy. Sometimes things happen, and it's never the mother's fault-"
"But it's my bodies fault" I interrupted, not daring to look at Harry.
"Sometimes things happen-"
"Because of my body. I can't have a baby" I interrupted again.
"And you're pregnant" the nurse's head nodded, my lips pursing.
"But I shouldn't be"
"It's not that you shouldn't be. No doctor told you it's suggested that you shouldn't be. You were told it was be hard to be; but not impossible, and look, now you're pregnant! We're going to keep watch, do our best to protect you and your baby and hopefully things go to plan. You can't worry too much though Mrs. Styles. The elevated blood pressure can risk you getting quite a handful of pregnancy complications" He warned and that alone was sending me into a mental hurricane.
When it came time for the ultrasound, Harry was giddy beyond belief.
I was as well, but I knew I'd be more excited once I was told that everything looked okay.
That me, and baby were okay.
Worse case scenario, I'm somehow miscarrying. Somewhat worst case is the pregnancy tests were false and my biggest fear that was forming a pit in my stomach was that I was pregnant, but I had some sort of detached egg and placenta thing, creating a high risk and or termination of pregnancy.
What if this was my one chance, and it didn't happen properly and I have to terminate it?
I don't think I'll survive that.
Harry called "Come in" when a knock sounded on the door, a youngish looking woman greeting us with a chart in her hand.
I laid back, the gel getting spread on my stomach, Harry taking a photo which made me laugh.
"Your fans would lose their minds if they knew you took selfies" I teased, the ultrasound technician smiling as turned on the machine.
"What they don't know won't kill them" he grinned, shoving his phone back in his pocket when I grabbed mine, returning the favor to record his reaction to seeing the baby.
"Are you guys ready?" She asked, the two of us nodding, our attention now on the tiny black and white static screen.
"Here's baby" She pointed, the little flick of a bean catching our immediate attention, "and... here's heartbeat" She pushed in on a button, the woosh sounding making our ears perk and our grins widen.
"What do you think, baby?" I asked, turning to look at Harry, seeing an overwhelming look of adoration towards the little screen, my heart melting right then and there.
I can't wait to watch him with the baby. He's going to be the best father ever.
With lack of reply, I turned back to look at the screen, wishing the baby was bigger so I could truly appreciate what was actually inside of me.
The wooshing noise stopped, my eyes snapping to look at the technician as she turned the screen towards herself.
I could feel my heart thump against my chest as I glanced over towards Harry who seemed worried, but was appearing to try very hard not to let it show.
"Everything okay?" I carefully asked, the technician humming.
"Baby's fine" she replied, "Um" she turned the screen back to us, "Do you guys see this?" She asked, pointing at the little bean, both of us nodding, "And do you see this?" She flipped screens, showing another bean. Harry's head tilting as I nodded slowly, also confused.
"That's the same, right?" I asked, the tech staying quiet.
"Do you see this one?" She asked, now my heart was really beating out of my chest.
What was happening?
Was this some kind of sick joke?
"You see here, each one has their own sack.." she pointed at three didn't placenta sacks.
Tumblr media
"Yeah.."
"I uh, you're having triplets" She announced, my body stilling as Harry's eyes widened slightly, lips parted out of shock. "Here's baby A... baby B... baby C" She noted, the little letters showing up on the screen before she took a picture.
"There's three? Three babies?" Harry asked, the tech nodding as she went back to the video screen, moving around to show each one.
"Three's three"
"How- what?" I stumbled, leaning up on my elbows to try and get a closer look.
There is no way in hell there are three babies inside my fucking womb right now.
"There's just three, right?" Harry asked, my eyes widening at the possibly of more.
I'm going to be fucking huge.
"I'm not a golden retriever, Harry! I can't have a litter" I panicked.
I wasn't even supposed to have one baby, and now I'm having three?!
THREE?!!!!!!!
"I can only see three" She confirmed. "There could be one or two hidden behind one of the other ones-"
"MORE?!" I freaked.
"But that's rare" She finished, my eyes practically popping out of my head as I started to laugh.
"You're joking right? That's just like.. some prank you do on new parents? Ha ha.. jokes funny. It's just one, right?" I freaked, Harry's hand finding mine, the tech shaking her head.
"I'm not pulling your leg. It's triplets at least" She said, my body falling back on the exam bed.
Triplets.
Fucking triplets.
How the fuck am I gonna carry triplets?!
BIRTH TRIPLETS?!
No.
No I can't.
I can't birth triplets.
"Do I have to birth them all? Induvially?!" I worried aloud.
"It's extremely rare due to complications. You have a extremely if not guaranteed confirmation of a c-section"
"I can't have a VBAC next time right? if there is a next time? if I want a next time.." I rushed out, the idea of not having the dream vaginal birth was making my heart feel crushed.
I knew I shouldn't have hopes and dreams, especially since this wasn't supposed to happen period.. but I can't help it.
If it was one baby, or maybe even two... I could've possibly had a vaginal delivery, right? Like that could've been a possibility?
"Let's cross that road when we get there" She chuckled and I sighed, my eyes falling shut.
I could hear the tone of Harry's voice, the vibration it caused in my ears, but I couldn't make out the actual words as tears begun to roll down my cheeks.
I'm having triplets.
Three babies.
Three babies are growing inside of me.
T h r e e b a b a i e s a r e g r o w i n g i n s i d e o f m e
I have to raise three children at once. Of the same age. Forever.
Oh my god.
"Babe, I can see the smoke coming out of your ears from here" he snickered, "Quit thinking so hard"
I rolled my eyes, my hands coming up to cover my eyes.
"You're positive it's three?" I asked again, the tech confirming for what was probably the fourth or fifth time since I blacked out whatever Harry said.
I left the appointment with my brain spiraling and a few pregnancy pamphlets in hand, Harry already googling the recommended websites.
"Wait, it says that multiples rarely go to full term, meaning... we have like........ way less time than normal" he finished, making me laugh at his lack of words.
"Aren't you scared?" I asked, turning to face him as he scrolled through his phone.
"Scared? Sure. The excitement overshadows it though"
"How does the excitement overshadow the fear?" I genuinelly asked, baffled by how his emotions were a complete 180 to my own.
"Because we went from day and night worrying about not having any kids, to having three, Y/N. I mean, that's insane! A whirlwind if you will, but it's exciting! We're having three babies!"
I stayed quiet, Harry rambling the entire drive home about how we have so many more names to pick out now, and asking me if we were having one nursery, or a gendered nursery or even giving them each their own nursery.
Saying I was overwhelmed was an understatment.

What if Sakumo were alive and how Kakashi's life would have changed after Naruto was born
[Part 6]
"I can't believe it's been nine months already!" - Obito said excitedly.
The teenagers arrived at the Namikaze family's house. Kakashi raised his hand to knock, but the front door suddenly opened. A young woman came out of the house.
"Tsunade oba-san!" - Kakashi smiled at the woman, who looked at the three teenagers with a surprised look.
"Kakashi! Look how you've grown!" - Tsunade extended her hand and patted the guy’s hair. - "Have you come to visit Kushina?"
The teenagers nodded.
"Come in, she just woke up", - Tsunade stepped aside. - "I'll go see Sakumo-san for now."
Obito and Rin bowed to the woman in farewell.
"Why do you call Tsunade-sama an aunt?" - Obito immediately asked as soon as the woman disappeared around the bend.
"Because Jiraiya is my uncle", - Kakashi shrugged and entered the house.
"So what?" - Obito screamed. - "You're always like this. You can never answer a question directly. You're annoying!"
"Be quiet", - Rin shushed him. - "You'll wake up the baby."
The teenagers took off their shoes and walked into the living room. The door to the bedroom was slightly open. Obito and Rin knocked and entered the room, while Kakashi hesitated at the entrance.
"Obito, Rin!" - he heard a woman's voice. - "Glad to see you."
"Kushina-san!" - Obito rushed to her first. - "How are you?"
The woman was lying on the bed. Traces of fatigue were visible on her face. She smiled softly at the worried teen and squeezed his hand tightly.
"I’m fine", - she reassured the guy.
Obito did not take his eyes off her, in which anxiety was noticeable. At the same time, Kakashi finally entered the room. While Obito and Rin were talking to Kushina, Kakashi moved closer to Minato.
"Do you want to hold him?" - asked the Fourth Hokage as soon as Kakashi was nearby.
Hatake nodded uncertainly. Minato smiled encouragingly at him and held out the child. Kakashi carefully picked him up and pulled him closer.
"Hey Naruto, wake up", - Minato bent over the baby. - "It's time to meet."
The child in Kakashi's arms began to stir. His eyelids fluttered and after a moment he opened his big, blue eyes. Kakashi turned his back to everyone and pulled the mask off his face with one hand. His lips stretched into a gentle smile.
"Hello Naruto", - he said softly. - "My name is Kakashi."
Naruto blinked.
"I’m so happy to finally meet you", - Kakashi leaned over the baby and touched his cheek with his finger. - "From this day on, I will be your big brother. And I will always be by your side. I give you my word."
"Kakashi! I want to hold Naruto too!" - he heard a loud voice behind him and quickly pulled the mask over his face.
"Wait", - he muttered and hugged the child tighter.
"Hey, that's not fair!" - Obito immediately pouted. - "Give him to me."
Kakashi shook his head stubbornly. Minato and Kushina laughed.
"Come on, Kakashi, let Naruto meet his other siblings", - Minato put his hand on the guy’s shoulder.
"Okay", - Kakashi muttered displeasedly and handed the baby to Rin.
***
Three years have passed since Naruto was born and four years since Minato assumed the post of Hokage. Konoha was rapidly changing under the leadership of the Fourth Hokage. The first thing Minato did was remove Danzo from all affairs and abolish the Root. As soon as Kakashi turned seventeen, Minato appointed him head of the ANBU. Not only focusing on changing the ANBU system, Minato also advocated reforming the police department. By concluding an alliance with the head of the clan, Fugaku Uchiha, with the support of Obito, Minato was able to change the attitude of the elders and residents of Konoha towards the entire Uchiha clan.
In addition to changes within the village itself, Minato actively advocated signing peace treaties with other villages and ending bloody wars. The long-awaited peaceful era of shinobi has arrived.
Kakashi was patrolling the borders when he suddenly felt familiar chakra. He stopped abruptly, and his team members immediately froze nearby.
"Go ahead, I need to check something."
Having waited for their nods, Kakashi headed towards the supposed location of the familiar chakra. He landed silently on a tree branch and glanced at the ground. In the middle of the edge of the forest stood a child. Kakashi jumped down. The child turned around and shuddered in fear.
"Naruto", - Kakashi called him quietly.
The boy covered his face with his hands in defense. Kakashi mentally cursed. The child had never seen him in his ANBU uniform before. Kakashi removed the Hound mask from his face and then quickly pulled off the black mask as well.
"Naruto", - he called the child again. - "It's me."
The boy slowly moved his hands away from his face and turned his gaze to the guy.
"Kashi nii-chan!" - with the speed of the wind, the boy rushed at Kakashi and hugged him tightly around the neck.
"I’m sorry I scared you", - Kakashi said softly, stroking the child’s back soothingly. - "What are you doing here? And why are you alone?"
Naruto was silent, still trembling slightly from the emotions he had experienced. Kakashi decided not to put pressure on the child, giving him time to come to his senses. After a few seconds, he felt a familiar chakra approaching. He quickly pulled his black mask over his face and carefully broke the hug from the boy.
"Genma, captain of the Hokage's personal guard", - Kakashi turned to the arriving guy and deliberately emphasized his position. - "Would you like to explain why the hell the son of the Fourth got lost in the forest alone?"
The guy put his palm forward and frowned.
"Do you remember that five days ago the Fourth sent me on a mission to Hidden Sand Village? I returned an hour ago and was immediately informed that Naruto had escaped."
"Escaped?" - Kakashi clenched his hands into fists. - "So, what did your incompetent subordinates tell you? Isn't it their responsibility to protect and monitor the Fourth's son? How could a three-year-old child escape from their surveillance? Do they even understand the danger they put him in? What if something happened to him?"
Genma jumped off the branch and came closer to the guy.
"According to them, in recent days he began to run away more and more often. And it became more difficult for them to find him."
"They also have the audacity to come up with excuses for themselves?" - Kakashi’s cold voice cut deeper and sharper than any dagger.
Genma glanced worriedly at his right hand, which was beginning to gather chakra. The accumulated chakra crackled and enveloped the guy's entire arm in blue bolts of lightning.
"They were very unlucky that it was not the Fourth who found out about this, but me. Minato sensei could have spared them, but I won’t", - Kakashi growled in a slow and low voice. - "I'll kill them."
"Kakashi, stop", - Genma took a step forward, standing in the guy’s path completely without any fear. - "You're scaring Naruto."
Lightning flashed and disappeared. Kakashi turned around and met the gaze of frightened eyes. Hatake dropped to one knee in front of the child.
"This is the second time I’ve scared you, I’m sorry", - Kakashi bowed his head guiltily.
"Kashi nii-chan, I didn’t mean to", - sobbed Naruto.
Big blue eyes filled with tears.
"I ran away and now you’re angry with me", - the child said in a broken voice, rubbing his eyes with small fists.
Kakashi's heart sank. He extended his hand and hugged the boy tightly.
"Naruto, I'm not angry with you", - he whispered, feeling hot tears on his shoulder. - "Listen to me carefully, Naruto Namikaze, I will never be angry with you. You will never disappoint me. And you should never be afraid of me. I will always be by your side to lend you a hand or lend my shoulder. I will always be behind you, protecting you and guiding you. You should never worry about this."
The boy's small arms hugged his neck tighter. Kakashi could feel the child's heart beating fast in his chest.
"Do you promise?" - the boy asked in a quiet voice.
"Promise", - Kakashi vowed, putting all his love and devotion into one word.
***
"I knew I would find you here", - Kakashi heard Guy’s voice, and then felt Might sit down next to him. - "You weren’t near the gate and I didn’t find you in the apartment. You usually meet me after missions. Something happened?"
Kakashi could feel his excitement. Guy knew him too well, he could read all of Kakashi's hidden feelings just by looking at him. Hatake felt Guy's hot hand gently squeeze his palm.
"It’s interesting how much has changed in the village in the three months that I was gone", - Guy decided not to put pressure on Kakashi and decided to continue the conversation, giving Hatake time to find the right words. - "Did Naruto acquire some new techniques? I can't wait to meet him tomorrow and show him some new moves."
Kakashi snorted quietly. Guy loved Naruto very much and if it were his will, he would spend every free minute with the child. Kakashi liked to watch them train while sitting under the shade of a tree with a book in his hands. Guy and Naruto were very similar to each other in Kakashi's eyes. Both had immense energy and literally glowed from within, like two bright suns. And usually, when Guy went on long missions, Naruto's company brightened up the days of waiting for Kakashi. But not at this time.
"I’ve been having nightmares a lot lately", - Kakashi said in a hoarse voice.
Guy tensed.
"Every night I dreamed that I was losing everyone I cared about. Father, Duy-san, Obito, Rin, Minato sensei, Kushina-san, Jiraiya ji-san… They all died right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do to save them. I just watched helplessly as they left."
Guy silently listened to Kakashi's monologue. Hatake could feel how carefully and tenderly Guy squeezed his hand.
"And every night I woke up with a scream in my throat", - Kakashi sighed heavily and turned to face the guy. - "But, you know, there was something that helped me break out of these nightmares and come to my senses."
Guy waited with bated breath to hear the continuation of the story.
"You", - Kakashi finally said.
Guy's gaze warmed. The tense shoulders relaxed and the corners of the lips curled into a soft smile.
"Thinking about you brought me to my senses", - Kakashi continued. - "You know, my brain never formed nightmares about you. Because I know better than anyone that I simply won’t be able to stand it if I see something happen to you. I can and I was able to survive nightmares about all the people close to me, but I know very well that if something happens to you, I will break."
Kakashi pulled Guy's arm, forcing him to move closer. And then put his head on his shoulder.
"You are my anchor, Guy. Always have been. As a child, you always brought me down to earth when I acted like an arrogant kid. In my youth, when I was drowning in the blood of my enemies, you pulled me to the surface, not allowing me to choke. You became my support and my strength."
Guy gently ran his hand through the Hatake's hair.
"I often think about the future when I look at Naruto", - Kakashi admitted. - "This child was born in such a cruel world, but I want to change this world so that he does not have to experience the horrors that you and I once went through. I want his whole life to be filled only with happiness, joy and love. Sometimes I worry that he is too energetic and that it might put other people off. But, you know, this child is special. There is something in him that, on the contrary, attracts other people to him, makes them follow him. Very soon he will go to the Academy. Because of his parents' status, I was afraid that the other kids might shun him, but he manages to befriend every kid he meets. He has already made friends with Itachi's younger brother, the Kazekage's son and the children of Ino-Shika-Cho."
Guy smiled. Kakashi's voice changed when he spoke about his little brother. Guy could feel Kakashi's boundless love for Naruto.
"These are peaceful times, but sometimes this calm scares me."
"I understand what you mean", - Guy nodded.
"It’s like everything can collapse in an instant. It’s like this whole world is an illusion."
"That’s not true, Kakashi", - Guy objected softly.
"I want to believe", - Hatake sighed tiredly and closed his eyes.
He felt like he was falling asleep. And he knew that next to Guy, all the nightmares would finally recede.
"I missed you", - Kakashi said. - "Three months is too long. I was afraid that you wouldn't come back."
"I will always come back to you", - Guy gently hugged him by the shoulders. - "In this world and in all others. In this life and in all others. In every reality and in every universe, I will always return to you. Only to you."
Kakashi smiled.
"Sounds like the most serious promise", - he teased the guy.
"This is my self rule", - Guy lifted Kakashi’s face and softly kissed his forehead.
"Maa", - Kakashi pulled off his mask and covered his lips with his own, feeling Guy’s happy smile. - "I love you too".

masterlist (one, two, three)
Tumblr media
Ashton was obsessed with how much bigger he was than you.
At first, he just thought it was adorable. He stood at least a foot taller than you, and he loved to pick you up or give you piggyback rides. When he realized how much bigger his hands were, he teased you about it constantly. He’d put stuff on the top shelf just to watch you struggle to reach it, or so you’d have to ask him to get it for you.
He thought it was adorable and hilarious, until he realized how hot it was.
He could pick you up and fuck you senseless against the wall. His large hands could wrap effortlessly around your throat as he pounded you into the mattress. And occasionally there was a bulge in your tummy when he would bury himself completely inside of you that drove him absolutely wild.
When he realized how hot he found your small size, he just couldn’t stop himself from grabbing you whenever he was feeling needy. If you were in another room, he’d just pick you up effortlessly and carry you to your shared bedroom. Or he’d bend you over the armrest of the couch and make you stand on the tips of your toes so your pussy was the same height as his cock. Or he’d get you in the shower and pick you up to fuck you against the tile wall.
He was a horny bastard, and he’d be the first person to admit that.
It wasn’t always Ashton’s fault, though. You loved to tease him until he had no choice but to fuck you senseless.
Like the day you were at work and he was home, and you decided to tease him through text the whole day.
It started with an innocent enough picture in your work outfit, but you were wearing the skirt that Ashton went crazy for. For good measure, you had pulled it up a bit just for the picture, to make it look shorter. When he responded the way you had wanted him to, you followed up with a dirty text. You had him hooked, and you didn’t stop until you got into your car to drive home.
The second you walked through the door, you found yourself shoved up against the door and Ashton’s hand around your throat. He was squeezing just enough to make you feel lightheaded.
“You naughty girl,” he said, his voice husky with lust. “Do you know how difficult you made my day? I couldn’t get anything done because all I could think of was bending you over in this skirt.”
You squeaked as he slipped his other hand under your skirt. He ran his middle finger over your clothed clit. You whimpered.
“You’re already so wet,” he said. “Have you been fantasizing about having my cock all day? Is that why you were teasing me while you were at work?”
You nodded, but he squeezed your throat a little more. “Use your words.”
“Yes,” you whimpered as he relieved some of the pressure on your throat. “Yes, Ash.”
He was smirking. “You naughty, naughty girl.”
You gasped as he slipped a finger under the lace of your panties and started to run it through your folds. You moaned as he applied pressure to your clit and rubbed agonizingly slow circles. You were becoming lightheaded from the pressure he was applying to your throat, and that was making the feeling of him working on your clit more intense.
He slipped a finger into you and you cried out in pleasure. With your eyes screwed shut from the pleasure, you couldn’t see the look of satisfaction on Ashton’s face. He loved how good he could make you feel, especially when it was just with his fingers.
“Does it feel good, baby?” he asked. “Do you like these big fingers inside your little pussy?”
“Yes!” you cried out. “Fuck yes, Ash, it feels so good!”
He added a second finger, stretching you further. He curled his fingers to stimulate that soft spot inside of you that made you start to see stars.
Your first orgasm hit you without warning. You started to tremble and your vision went white as you clenched around him. You went slack in his arms as your body went numb. Ashton pulled his fingers from you and took hold of you so you wouldn’t fall. You tried to stand on your own, but your legs were too weak. Ashton picked you up to carry you to the bedroom. He laid you down gently onto the bed and pulled your skirt and panties off at one time. You could see the outline of his boner fighting against his sweatpants. You sat up to tug at the waistband of his sweatpants, pulling them and his boxers down just enough for his hard cock to spring free.
He ran a hand through your hair. You looked up at him through your eyelashes and asked, “Can I suck you dick, Ash? Please?”
He groaned in response and pulled your head towards him. You took his cock in your hand and pumped him a few times before wrapping your mouth around the tip. You ran your tongue around the head just as slowly as he had been touching your clit early. His breathing was already becoming staggered as you did, and the hand that was resting in your hair still was starting to grasp at the strands. Slowly you started to take more of his length into his mouth. You didn’t want to over do it just yet, but Ashton involuntarily bucked his hips forward in pleasure and drove his cock into the back of your throat. You gagged and pulled off of him quickly.
“Awe, my little princess,” he cooed. “Can’t even fit this big dick in her little mouth. How are you going to fit all of it in your pussy?”
You ignored his comment and took him in your mouth again. You knew you wouldn’t be able to take the full of him, but something about his comment made you want to take as much as you could possibly handle. You wrapped your hand around the base of his cock, pumping whatever of his length that you couldn’t take in your mouth as you began to bob your head at the same time. Ashton threw his head back and groaned into the empty room, completely taken with the way your mouth felt around him. It was one of his most favorite feelings in the world, second only to the feeling of being buried balls deep inside of you.
You didn’t have him in your mouth for long before he was pulling at your hair, taking you completely off of him and pulling you into a kiss. It was sloppy and quick, and soon enough he was pushing you back down onto the bed.
“I can’t do any more teasing,” he said. “I need you.”
You stripped off your shirt and bra, and he took off his own shirt and kicked his sweatpants and boxers somewhere onto the floor. He climbed onto the bed, towering over you. You remembered how intimidated you felt seeing him like this for the first time. You knew Ashton was anything but intimidating or scary, but his height made it feel like he was towering over you. Not to mention the size of his cock actually had you worried at the time that he wouldn’t fit.
Now, though, the sight of him kneeling over you, his cock red and stood at full attention, was an extreme turn on.
He lined himself up with your entrance, running his tip through your folds to collect the moisture that was left from your orgasm. He pushed into you slowly, giving you time to adjust to every inch of him. One of your hands was gripping at the sheets beneath you, while the other was holding onto Ashton’s hand. He watched as he disappeared inside of you until his pelvic bone was pressing against your clit. He leaned down to kiss you, his entire body covering yours.
His thrusts started slow as he buried his head into the crook of your neck. He placed small kisses over your neck and collarbone. Each inwards thrust made his pelvic bone brush against your clit in a way that sent shocks of pleasure through your body. You could feel the pressure slowly building up in your stomach. While you didn’t want to cum again just yet, it was almost frustrating how slowly it was starting to build. You wanted to chase that high quickly once it had started.
Ashton pulled away from you to sit up on his kneels. He pressed a hand against your stomach and you gasped at the feeling.
“God, I love when I can see the bulge,” he said, looking down at where your bodies were connected. “Can you feel me deep in your guts, princess?”
“Y-Yes,” you breathed. “God, Ash, it feels so good. I’m getting so close.”
“Cum for me, princess. Let me feel you tightening around my cock.”
He pressed his thumb against your clit and started to rub circles until the pressure in your stomach became too much. You called his name as you felt yourself cumming again, this one somehow more intense than the first. Ashton groaned at the feeling of you squeezing his cock and it was enough for him to hit his climax, too. He buried himself completely inside of you as he spilled his seed into you. You were both panting messes as he slumped on top of you.
You giggled and pushed at him. “Ash, you’re going to crush me.”
“Can’t move. Feel too good,” he responded.
“You won’t feel good if you crush me to death.”
He pushed himself up on his elbows to hover over you. “I wouldn’t crush you to death. You’re dramatic.”
“Try having someone who’s basically twice your size lay their full weight on top of you, then tell me I’m being dramatic.” You sat up a little to kiss his nose before flopping back down onto the bed.
Ashton reluctantly pulled himself from you. You couldn’t help but pout from the empty feeling as he did so. He got up and went to the bathroom to get you both clothes to clean up with. He passed you yours, still nice and warm from the sink, and you quickly wiped yourself down. You grabbed his shirt from the floor and pulled it on while he pulled on his boxers.
“So,” he said, “got what you wanted, then? That was the idea behind sending the naughty texts?”
You grinned slyly at him. “Well, I did expect you to fuck me until I couldn’t stand, but I also just felt like being in a teasing mood.”
“I can’t believe you wore the skirt. I love that skirt. That skirt was supposed to be for me to see and me only.”
You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him back down onto the bed with you. “Other people may have seen it, but just remember you’re the only one allowed to bend me over in it.”
He smiled and pressed a kiss to your head. “That does make me very happy to think about. I may do that later once we’re both in the mood for round two, since I didn’t get a chance when you came home.”

Tumblr media
Now…
“You think he’s still butthurt about the whole thing?” Hyejin asks.
“I don’t know what to think.” You shrugged and took a sip of your drink. “I thought we had a clean break.”
She rolled her eyes. “That’s what you think. Is this the first time you two have seen each other since things ended?”
Narrowing your lips into a thin line, you nodded. Her eyebrows lift in disbelief. “Wow…really?”
“Yep,” you say, popping the ‘p.’
“But how is that possible? He still hangs out with Namjoon and with the gallery’s construction–”
You shrugged. “I don’t know, Hye…somehow, our meetings with you guys never overlapped.” You figured part of it was due to Namjoon’s very meticulous planning.
Hyejin’s eyes widened. “Damn. And is it true that you both unfollowed each other on your socials?”
You let out an exasperated breath. “Come on, Hyejin. Isn’t that just sort of a natural thing to do after you break up? How many of your exes do you have on your socials?”
She grimaced. “Uhm…a few of them?”
Now it was your turn to bulge your eyes at her. “What?”
“Yeah. They’re still on my list.”
Your mouth falls open. “Do you ever view their profile, lurk, and see what they’re up to?”
“No, not like that,” she says. “They pop up because they’re on my feed but not because I actively seek them. They’re just there…it’s like a useless appendage or something.”
“But why even keep them there in the first place if they serve no purpose?”
“I don’t know. It’s just not a huge deal to me. I don’t bear any ill will toward them and I hope they think the same of me.”
“What does Namjoon think about all that?”
“It’s whatever. His ex is still on his list but it’s not something that keeps me up at night,” she explains. Then she gasps, looks at you, and remembers something. “Shit, I'm sorry. No offense, babe.” She reaches across to squeeze your hand assuringly.
You smile and appreciate her consideration. “None taken, babe.”
Hyejin smiles back. “Anyway, Joon and I have an understanding that all of those relationships are done. It’s about us now.”
You sigh in frustration, recalling how things went down with Yoongi. “I guess I wish everyone was in the same mindset as you both are.”
“Put it this way—I’m not bothered by it and neither is Namjoon. But if one day, he suddenly asks me to delete them off my list then I would do it, no question.”
“Really?” You did your best to hide your skepticism. Hyejin normally didn’t allow her man to dictate what she could and couldn’t do in her life.
“I would do it out of love and respect for him. If I asked him to do the same, he would too. It’s not about trying to prove a point or compromising your beliefs to please your partner. This person, whom you love, is setting clear boundaries. The question is whether you love that person enough to set a new boundary so you can honor theirs. It all depends on the situation!”
“I don’t know, Hye–you’re always so headstrong, though.”
“And so are you, YN. It’s why we’re besties,” she giggles. “But you know, when you find the right person,” she looks off into the distance and catches Namjoon’s eye, making her smile fondly, “…You wouldn’t mind loosening the reins a bit.”
You took a long swig of your drink. “Wow…you’ve changed Ms. Ahn.”
“Yeah, sometimes we need to embrace change. Although, I do miss my hoe-ing days every now and then,” she winked at you.
Truthfully, you envied her. When you and Yoongi were together, she would tease you about monogamy, yet she was always so supportive of your relationship.
You shook your head. “Well…personally, I feel like cleaning out your social media timeline is a way to move on.”
“That’s just part of it, babe. If a person wants to move on, they can and will…with or without social media.” Just then, she looks past your shoulder as something new catches her eye.
You turn your head in curiosity to find Yoongi craning his neck through the crowd as if searching for someone, until his eyes land on you. You locked gazes for a few seconds before he started moving toward you. You quickly turn away.
“Looks like he wants to talk,” Hyejin remarks. As Yoongi closes in, you see him from your peripheral vision.
“I’m gonna go check on Namjoonie,” she says with a small smile at you. Before she walks away, she gives Yoongi a quick nod.
Tumblr media
Then…
After a marathon of morning calls and virtual meetings, you took advantage of the lull to stretch your legs and maybe attempt to have lunch with Yoongi. He’s been insanely busy with projects as well and though you stayed over at each other’s places often, you barely spent quality time together in the last week.
You emerge from the room and hear anxious mumbling by his workshop.
“Hey,” you poked your head from the corner to see him in the middle of a tense conversation with Namjoon.
“Hey, YN!”
“Joon! Yoongi didn’t mention that you were stopping by!” You walked over to give him a hug.
“Oh, it was just a pit stop for me, among other things I'm supposed to do today,” he smiled.
“Why don't you stay for lunch? I’m making–”
“That won’t be necessary,” Yoongi says curtly, making you recoil. Yoongi sees the worried expression on your face and tries to remedy it. “What I mean to say is, Namjoon was on his way out anyway and he just told me that he’s got a full afternoon ahead.”
You turn to Namjoon, who grimaces. “I…appreciate the offer, YN but Yoongi’s right. I’ve got a lot of errands to run. Maybe next time, huh?”
“Sure, of course!” You look at him and back at Yoongi and decide not to push any further. You already knew that one of Yoongi’s clients has been extra demanding so you were on a need-to-know basis.
You leave the workshop and walk into the kitchen to check the pantry. He hadn’t gone grocery shopping in a while so instead of trying to make something, you just pull up the food delivery app on your phone to order something more convenient.
“Jagi, is there anything in particular that you’re craving for?”
“No, baby. Surprise me,” he answers distantly, continuing his conversation with Namjoon.
While placing the order, you couldn’t help but eavesdrop on their argument through the divider.
“Bro, I don’t know how you could have just let the deadline pass. Jiwon placed the order months ago and I get here and you’ve got other orders getting picked up for shipment. Orders that were placed after hers. You said that it was totally doable–”
“I know what I said, Namjoonah!” He lets out a frustrated groan. “Look, just tell Jiwon that we ran into a supplier issue. I’ll fucking fix it, okay?”
“What the fuck do you expect me to tell her?”
“Can’t you figure that part out? Isn’t this why you’re the client relations half of this business?”
You hear footsteps approach in your direction so you retreat back into the bedroom and pretend that this was just a regular business squabble between friends.
Namjoon lets out a grunt of annoyance.
“Okay, look,” Yoongi relents. “Just stop stressing out. I’ll call Jiwon myself later to let her know that her shit will get done. Alright?”
Namjoon nods. “Thanks, man. She’s in a pissy mood. Better you than me.”
******
The weekend finally arrives and you and Yoongi have plans.
You were such a nervous wreck that you start to flap your elbows as if they were wings to cool your sweaty armpits. You were meeting Yoongi’s mom tonight for dinner. She lives a few hours away and rarely visits. She was looking forward to getting to know the new woman in her son’s life.
You make your way in front of the mirror, fluffing your hair and doing some final checks on your makeup. You lean in closer and flash your teeth, making sure that you didn’t have any lipstick stains on them.
“How much longer do you need?” Yoongi asks while he leans against the doorframe. Looking at his reflection, he was handsome as ever with his hair pulled back in a ponytail and a casual look. As much as you enjoyed him dressed in his coveralls while he worked, you always considered his date-night looks a treat.
“Two minutes.” You smooth your dress one more time and turn around to make sure that your skirt didn’t have any creases on it.
“We’re just meeting my mom for dinner, not the queen.”
“I know that. I just want to make a good impression,” you rationalized. “How do I look?” You turn to him and put your hands to the sides, presenting yourself. 
“Beautiful,” he says with a soft smile.
******
Your laughs ring through the restaurant after Yoongi’s mom make a cheeky joke at her son’s expense.
“Eomma…” He warns.
“Lighten up, adeul! It’s just a little joke.”
“Sure, ma,” he responds dryly.
She sipped on her wine and turns her attention to you. “You know, YN, I really like you! You’re just so…gah…the word is escaping me right now!”
You tensed up in anticipation of the next word that would come out of her mouth.
“Refreshing! That’s what I meant to say. You’re such a breath of fresh air!” She exclaims.
Your shoulders visibly relax at the compliment.
“Thank you, Mrs. Min–”
“Please, call me eomma,” she smiled warmly. “Let’s skip the formalities! Even better, we should get together for drinks sometime–” then she puts her hand up to the side of her mouth as if to whisper in an exaggerated manner to you, “You know, without Mr. Grumpy Cat here,” she mumbled.
You both giggle like close girlfriends while Yoongi rolls his eyes.
“I’d love that, eomma! Why don’t we exchange numbers after this and we can get something on our calendars?” You proposed.
His mom beamed. “Excellent! The sooner, the better!”
You smiled excitedly at how well you were warming up to Yoongi’s mom. You had a very different idea of how this night was going to turn out. The server comes by to check in, asking if there was anything else that they can get you. You picked up your wineglass and polished off whatever was left in it.
“Can I please get another glass of cabernet?” You ask him.
“Of course, miss.” He asks the rest of the table, to which his mom requests that her glass be topped off as well. Yoongi declines.
“You know, I should say–I’m shocked that Yoongi let you order that second glass of wine.”
Your brows creased in confusion. You cleared your throat, “I…beg your pardon?” You ask slowly.
“Well, back then, Jiwon–Yoongi’s ex–she didn’t drink much. On the rare occasion that she did, Yoongi made sure to cap it at a glass. She was always uptight, that one. Nice girl, very formal, comes from a good family. But oof…so uptight. Unfortunately, that’s Yoongi’s type though…” she remarks flippantly. 
Yoongi shifts uncomfortably in his seat. “Eomoni…please!”
“Was there something wrong with what I said? Are we not supposed to talk about Jiwon? We’re just having a conversation here.”
You shift your attention to Yoongi’s direction, where he keeps his eyes low. Yoongi himself had never mentioned her name to you, but you knew of their history.
You’d heard that name before…it was the same name of the person that he and Namjoon were arguing about recently. 
Deep down, you sincerely hoped that those were two different Jiwons.
******
The rest of dinner goes on without any further awkward conversations about certain ex-fiancees. You bid his mom farewell and promise to give her a call to schedule a girls’ night when she’s back in town.
Yoongi, on the other hand, looks exhausted when you get in the car. “I can drive if you’re too–”
“Nah, it’s fine. You had a couple glasses. Besides, it’s a short ride, I can manage.”
After a few minutes of silence, you break the tension on the drive back to his place.
“Your mom is so adorable. I love her!” You beamed excitedly.
“Yeah, seems like you two really hit it off. I didn’t realize you had a lot in common,” he says wryly.
You laughed. “What’s the matter with you? Aren’t you glad that your mom and I are getting along well?”
“Of course I am,” he replies, still looking straight ahead down the road, his expression unreadable.
“If you’re happy then why do you look like someone just kicked your puppy? Was it because she mentioned Jiwon?”
He lets out a frustrated groan. “Please! Can we not bring that up again?”
“Is it because she’s a princess who doesn’t drink and obeys everything that you ask her to do?”
“YN, please!” He smacks his hand on the steering wheel. “Please…just…let’s not hash that out, okay?”
You hold your tongue and cross your arms over your chest, seething the rest of the way back.
When he pulls into the driveway, he turns off the engine, then steps out of the car while you remain in the passenger seat.
“Are you throwing a tantrum?”
“No,” you say shortly.
He gets back in the car and coaxes the information out of you. “Come on, what’s going through your mind?”
“I was just thinking–maybe I shouldn’t have ordered that second glass of wine.”
He lets out a sound of exasperation and grips his forehead. “Are we still on that?”
“No, really though…maybe…” you shrug, “I don’t know, maybe I should be more like Jiwon? You know, a good girl.”
“What is your point, YN?”
“My point, Yoongi, is…why are you with me?”
“Why am I with you? W-what do you mean?”
“Why do you love me?” You press him.
He stares at you, taken aback by your interrogation. “Why do I love you?” He repeats. “What kind of a question is that?”
“A legitimate one!”
He scoffs angrily. “I don’t have time to deal with this shit right now, YN…I’m stressed, and I’m–”
“Okay. I get it,” you huff. You grab your coat and purse and step out of the car.
“Where the fuck do you think you’re going?” He barked.
“I’m calling a rideshare to take me back home!” You spat over your shoulder, pulling up your app to summon a car.
“YN, you’re being ridiculous!”
“Just leave me alone. It seems like you need a little bit of space. So I will give you that!”
At half past 1AM, your phone buzzes while you lie awake in bed. You picked it up off the nightstand to see Yoongi’s name and face flashing on your screen.
You second-guess answering…but you were the idiot who picked a fight with him. You press the green button and hold the phone to your ear, saying nothing.
“Baby…come home, please,” he begs you.
“I don’t know…I just need some time,” was all you say before you both hang up.
After another half an hour of pathetically staring up at your ceiling, you sat up and swing your legs over the edge of the bed. Like a lovesick puppy, you put on your sweats, call another rideshare to take you back to his house, where you crawl to bed and into his waiting arms.
Tumblr media
Now…
“Hey,” Yoongi says awkwardly as he approaches you.
“Hi,” you say icily. You couldn’t forget the comments he made to Namjoon about you while you were in the bathroom.
“Uh, listen…I just wanted to apologize.”
“Apologize? What for?”
“Y-you know,” he stutters. “I didn’t mean what I said.”
“Which part exactly?” You ask him. “That I’m loud and bring too much drama with me? Or that I’m a bad cook?” You scoffed. “I used to cook for you all those nights when you had no time to make yourself a meal because you were so busy with work. You used to say that you loved my cooking!”
“You weren’t a terrible cook,” you counters. “I just…I was being stupid.”
“Oh, I know,” you tell him and laughed softly.
Moments of uncomfortable silence later, he asks, “So uh…how’ve you been?”
“I’m good,” you answer sincerely. “You?”
“Great,” he replies. “Are you…here with anyone?”
You chuckled at his forwardness. “No, but I’m supposed to meet someone in an hour.”
His lips parted slightly, “Ah, I see,” he smiled tightly. “Like…a date or…a boyfriend?”
“What’s it to you?” You smiled enigmatically. 
“Just trying to make conversation...and I was just curious.” He looked like he wanted to say more after that but he looks away and takes a swig of his drink.
“What about you? Did you bring a date?”
He shook his head. “I haven’t spent enough time with anyone to bring them to things like this.”
“I see,” you answer. “So, just casually dating, huh?”
“What’s it to you?” He returns your question.
“Touche!” You both chuckled.
“I thought you were going to start mouthing off to me and Namjoon earlier by the bathrooms,” he laughs.
You swat the air. “Old YN may have but…I’m a changed woman now.”
“Oh, really?” He asks.
“Yeah. You know, it’s been a while and I’ve changed my ways. I try to watch what I say these days.”
Yoongi smiles guiltily.
“Besides, I used to talk shit about you all the time so…I think we’re even now.”
“Oh you have, haven’t you?”
“Oh yeah…many times! A bitch was bitter back then,” you laughed.
“I’d love to hear this!” He leans in excitedly.
“Hear what?”
“Tell me what you used to say about me.”
Chuckling, you eventually relent. “Hmm…okay, let’s see.” While you try to recall all of the angst that you used to spew at Hyejin, you are briefly distracted by his fingers, drumming lazily on the bar’s surface.
You blink away memories of his hands and other things that they were capable of. “Well, my biggest issue with you was that you had trouble letting go of the past.”
“Interesting,” he remarks.
“That, plus you were a pushover,” you added.
He doubles over in laughter. When he calms down, he says, “So…I get too hung on up on the past and I’m a pushover. That’s why you left me?”
You cock your head to the side and turn serious. “C’mon. You know exactly why I left you.”
Tumblr media
Then…
You drive down Yoongi’s street to find a sleek SUV blocking his driveway. You didn’t recognize it but figured it may have been a client trying to meet with him to oversee their order’s progress. Not a huge deal, you thought. You parked a block away instead.
You walk through the door with a box of pastries that you picked up on the way from your place. Yoongi loved their almond croissants so you grabbed a couple extra as a treat.
You caught sight of him standing in the workshop, deep in conversation with some unseen guests who were obscured by the divider.
With a big smile, you walk toward him to greet him. He sees you out of the corner of his eyes and a look of panic mars his features. “YN…hey.” He was surprised to see you.
You turn your attention to the two other people in the room–Namjoon and an unknown female who was crouched down, closely inspecting the legs on these accent chairs that Yoongi had tirelessly worked on for weeks.
“Hey, YN,” Namjoon greets you, while you are yet to be acknowledged by this persnickety client dressed in a designer shift dress and equally expensive heels. Her hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail...not a strand out of place.
A chill ran down your spine, making you wrap your arms protectively around your chest.
“Why are the legs uneven?” Were the first words you hear out of her mouth. “And it looks like a few of them don’t even have any finishing coats yet.”
Her voice was small, but firm in tone. It sounded like the type that was used in professional settings or presentations. It was also the type that turned shrill when provoked.
She looks at Yoongi pointedly, awaiting his answer.
“Uh, by the way, this is Jiwon, my client. Jiwon, this is YN.”
You arched an eyebrow in realization. “Oh…hi there,” you say a little too loudly. You stuck your hand out to her, offering a handshake. Her eyes flicked down to your hand while her face remained stiff. There was a slight wince in her nose, as if she smelled something bad.
Before you withdraw your hand in embarrassment, she clasps her hand in yours to shake it gently. “Hi. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, too. I’m Yoongi’s girlfriend,” you add.
She smiles tightly and proceeds with her inspection on the products.
Namjoon stands there, breaking a sweat, seemingly stuck in limbo. The tension in the room was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.
“I brought some pastries, by the way. I got you your favorite, ja–” 
“That’s great. Uhm, could you just put in the kitchen? We’re a little busy here,” Yoongi says, while closely following Jiwon’s every move.
“Oh.” The shortness of his tone stung you, but you soldier on, marking your territory.
“Anyone want anything to drink? Coffee, maybe?”
“I-I’ll take one,” Namjoon says.
“What about you, Jiwon?”
“She doesn’t drink coffee,” Yoongi answers for her.
Jiwon turns her head toward you. "I'm good, thanks for the offer," she says, before continuing her inspection.
Your chest feels tight all of a sudden but you don’t make it obvious. Instead, you smile politely and leave them to do their business.
You move into the kitchen to set your box of pastries aside then set up the single-brew machine to make some coffee for Namjoon.
Distantly, you hear their conversation through the wall.
“I don’t know. I’m really disappointed in the quality. Even the upholstering is mediocre. They look and feel rushed." She narrows her eyes at him. "What’s going on?”
Yoongi nervously clears his throat. “Nothing. All that stuff's fixable,” he says evenly. "All I need is a couple more days to do it.”
“If I give you an extension, can you actually deliver on the quality this time?”
“Of course! You don’t need to worry about a thing,” he answers confidently.
“Alright," she says with a hint of reluctance. "How much time do you need? And is this going to cost me extra?”
“I’ll, uh…I’ll eat up the cost since it was an issue on my end. And regarding timing–”
“How are you gonna get this all done? Are you sure that you can do this?”
“Yes, I told you–there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll hire more guys and pay overtime. We’ll get this done for you.”
You notice how he doesn't mind calmly and patiently reassuring her multiple times, no matter how many times she asks the same question to him in different forms and verbiage. Meanwhile, he starts getting annoyed when you ask him what he wants for dinner multiple times, after deferring to you to decide.
She's seemingly satisfied with his affirmations, she relents. “Okay. I guess Namjoon and I can just circle back?” She turns to Namjoon, who nods in agreement.
All three of them walk toward the front door.
“Yeah, just call him. Or you can call me directly to follow up, too.” Yoongi offers.
“I’ll just reach out to both of you, I guess,” she answers dryly
You peek from the kitchen just in time to see her give Yoongi a lingering hug. “Thanks again, Yoongi. I really appreciate this.”
“Of course…anything for you, Jiwon.”
With that, your heart sinks to your stomach and you suddenly have the urge to vomit. You retreat into the bathroom and hurl but nothing comes out.
******
Later that evening, you were working late on the restaurant revamp contract. You had to place a call to your other supplier to make sure that their quote was still good since the client had asked for it to be adjusted, for the fifth time.
It was a good thing you’d work with this supplier for nearly a decade now. You pretty much had the owner on speed-dial.
Unfortunately, Yoongi was planning on pulling an all-nighter so he could finish one project to make fixes to the other project that he messed up.
“Jagiii!” You yell out from his bedroom, hoping he’d hear from all the loud banging he was making.
“Yeah?” he bellowed from his workshop.
“Could I just have five minutes for a phone call?”
“Can’t you just take your call outside?” He responds.
That was weird, you thought. You could, technically, take the call outside but you needed your laptop and documents in front of you in order to make changes in real-time. 
You walked out of the bedroom and into his workshop. “Please? It’s only for a few minutes. I just really need to sweet-talk this supplier so I can get this contract sealed.”
“No!" he bristles. "I’m so behind on this project already. Every minute counts!”
You scoffed. “Seriously? What’s five minutes? This project’s already delayed. Not to mention that your backlog is nuts–”
He looked up at you and snapped, “Exactly! Do you think my work is easy? Do you think any of this–” he waved his arm at the room, “...is easy?”
You chuckled at his abrupt change in tone. “What the hell crawled up your ass?”
He huffed out a breath. “I’m saying, that I hate how you think that I can just chill every time and pull me away from my work–”
“Woah-woah,” you stop him right then. “I never said anything like that. I’m literally asking for five minutes and you’re here getting your panties in a twist.”
He tosses the mallet and piece of metal sheeting haphazardly on his work table. He raked his fingers through his hair in exasperation. “See, this is why I can’t get this damned thing done–”
“You can’t or won’t?”
“What?” He asks, utterly confused.
“You can’t get it done or you don’t want to get it done because you want to delay it further? Because getting it done means the end of your contract with her.” You walk away from the workshop and into the living room.
“Are we really going to argue about this again?” He asks, still standing in his workshop.
“Yes!” You say loudly from the other room.
Seconds later, you see him round the corner and join you. “Why? Why do we need to argue about this? What’s the point?” 
You let out a sharp breath scowled at him. “I heard the way you talked to her! Going out of your way to pay your guys overtime, moving your whole schedule around to deliver her shit…and that goodbye hug?” You let out a pained, mocking laugh.
You held off for as long as you could but you were already deep into a jealous rage. The way he spoke so gently to her, trying to assure her that she didn’t need to stress off her order. Offering to cover the extra expenses, was too much.
“She’s a client and we just happen to have a history. So?”
His flippant comment further incensed you.
"That's the point! You have history!"
He groaned. “You're getting pissed at this? When it was pretty much the same situation from when we ran into your married guy.”
“My married g—" You scoff at him. "Now you’re turning this conversation about me? My past?”
“Well, yeah! You acted all weird when we saw what’s-his-face!” He retorts.
“Right, but in my case, that was the first time I’d seen him in a while. Have I seen him again since then? No. But you? You are working with Jiwon, day in and out!” You exclaim angrily.
“‘Call me directly…’” You say mockingly. “‘Anything for you...'”
“We have a professional relationship, okay? She is my client.”
“Couldn’t you get different clients? It’s not like you have a shortage in your backlog.” You countered.
“Jiwon has been my longtime client. I’ve made many connections because of her.”
You clenched your jaw and seethed.
“You go out to dinners and have drinks with your clients all the time! You come home late after partying all night,” he scolds.
“I am not partying!” You argue.
“Sure,” he says sarcastically.
“At least I was never engaged to any of my clients,” you countered bitterly.
He glared at you. “So she’s my ex-fiancee, big fucking deal! The operative term, being ‘ex,’ okay? What is your point here, exactly? Why are you getting all worked up about this?”
You stood up from the couch and angrily stomped toward him. “Because it hurts my feelings! And I can’t help but think that you still want her.”
“But I don’t! I love you!” He insists.
“Why do you love me?” You asked in a sudden, calmer tone.
“What?” He’s taken aback by how unreasonable and ridiculous you were sounding.
“I’m asking--Why. Do you. Love me.” You punctuate each phrase. “Why are you with me? Are you with me just to prove to yourself, or to her that you’ve moved on?”
“Why are you being like this? We’re arguing in circles here!” He yells out in frustration.
“Okay, fine. I’ll make it easier for you then. Let me ask you this–are you really over her? Because if you’re not…fuck…just tell me and we can put a stop to this craziness right now.”
“I’m with you, aren’t I? What else do you want from me?”
Heat prickled at your forehead and you start to taste bile in the back of your throat. What else do you want from me? Like he was doing you a fucking favor?
“What I really want to know from you is–why is it that my ex is a problem for you? So I ran into the guy. A guy whom I haven’t had any contact with at all since I ended things and still haven’t had contact after the fact? And yet, you expect me to be completely fine with you communicating regularly with your ex? ”
The silence is deafening as he’s despondent for a minute. At this point, the tears flow freely down your cheeks.
“Don’t you think there’s anything wrong with that?” You ask him pointedly.
“I don’t see it that way.”
It wasn’t the answer that you were expecting so you drive your point home. “And you wouldn’t consider breaking off a working relationship with your ex-fiancee even after I’ve told you that the amount of access that she has to you makes me feel insecure and uncomfortable?”
Yoongi shook his head slowly. “I just can’t drop a longtime client like that.”
“You mean you won’t drop her.”
“Please, just listen–”
“You know how I feel right now?” You interrupt him. “I feel like a shiny new thing that you’re just using to prove to yourself that you’re over her. It makes me feel like a piece of shit.”
He squeezes his eyes shut, a pained expression on his face. “You think I’m using you as a rebound? Is that it?”
“Aren’t I? Maybe you only liked me because I’m the complete opposite of her! You know, I’m loud, I like to go out…I drink…I’m fun…” You swipe at the tears that spilled out of your eyes. “I’m not the type you bring home to mom. Not the type you’d marry, right?”
“For fuck’s sake…can you stop thinking that everyone’s out to hurt you?”
“Do you really love me?” You ask him point blank.
He returns your gaze and held it there for a minute before answering. “Yes, of course I do.”
“More than you love her?”
He is dumbfounded by your question. It was unexpected but you needed to know…desperately. You needed to know to help put your fears aside. Unable to meet your gaze, he looks away.
His reticence told you that you were at an impasse. Locked in a stalemate, without any moves left.
Swallowing what felt like glass shards down your throat, you say, “Yeah, that’s what I thought.” You turn on your heel and walk off.
The next morning, you packed up your things and left.
Tumblr media
Now…
“So who did you love more, me or Jiwon?”
Growing flustered by your invasive question, he panics. “What is this, an interrogation?”
“Oh, come on…” you say in jest. “We’re just two people having an open conversation here.”
“Are you serious?” He laughs, his gummy smile in full display. “So I really have to answer that?”
“Do I look like I’m kidding? It’s not like we have ties to each other anymore. We’ve had enough time apart, time to think things through.”
“Why do you need to know so badly?”
“Because! I feel like I’m entitled to that information,” you say in a light, joking tone. Then, you turn a bit more serious. “Also…we used to care about each other at one point in our lives. I feel that I’ve earned the right to ask.”
He shifts his weight between his feet, taking a sip of his drink–you hoped–would help give him the extra push to answer. Except, he doesn’t and instead grins shyly.
“Still no answer, Mr. Min? Alright, fine!” You raise your hands in defeat. “I’ll give you easier one.” You cleared your throat. “Are you still scared?”
He finds your question humorous. “Scared of what?” He clarifies.
“Repeating the whole process. To start from scratch again–the whole getting to know one another…falling in love…only to be faced with the possibility of it not working out. We talked about that a long time ago, remember?”
His face visibly relaxed. “I do…very clearly, in fact, now that you mention it.”
“And?”
He moistened his lips and stared straight at you. “The truth is, I'm not afraid to take that gamble anymore...in the off-chance that I get lucky again and feel the way I felt when I was with you. I'd happily make that bet over and over.”
You feel your throat tighten in an instant. Your mouth opens to suck in a sharp breath. “Damn.” You start to fan yourself…now you were all flustered.
He kept his eyes on you. They wordlessly profess everything he’s been feeling all those years that you spent apart.
“And I agree that you’re entitled to know that I loved you more.”
You were at a loss. All that pomp and confidence that you felt had shriveled up at his confession.
“Well, you asked. So there you go.”
You laughed. “I know…I deserved that,” you say uncomfortably.
Your speechlessness makes him smirk triumphantly, making you both chuckle and effectively breaking the tension.
From a distance, the music fades under the chatter while Namjoon’s voice booms through the microphone. “Good evening, everybody!”
You and Yoongi turn your attention to the middle of the room, where Namjoon stood along with Hyejin.
“I just wanted to thank you all for coming out tonight. I’m so happy that I have great friends and partners who are huge supporters of local art. We have so much talent here that we need to foster and grow. I’m glad that we have a space to promote this art so that other people can familarize themselves with it and appreciate it as well. I’d like to thank my friends who have enabled me and listen to me whine about this concept for years–it’s finally happening! And of course, my fiancee–Hyejin…baby, thank you for being patient with me and supporting my dream. I love you so much!” The crowd gushes as he pulls her in for a sweet kiss.
“And with that, let’s keep this party going, huh?” Namjoon hands the microphone back to the DJ and the music swells once more.
Yoongi turns to you suddenly. “Do you want to dance?”
You laugh, “Seriously?”
“Why not? It’s the least you can do for me after I bared my soul to you,” he says.
You roll your eyes playfully at him. “Alright! Just one song,” you say to him.
You both make your way to the makeshift dancefloor and start bobbing your head to the beat. You sway your hips to the music while you both sing along to a song familiar to both of you.
As the music plays on, the crowd gathers around you, pushing you closer together.
Although you are hyper-aware of his presence and proximity, you continue to dance to the beat. You vaguely feel his hand on the small of your back, in a sort of protective stance while the crowd closes in. At a certain point, your hips were nearly fused together, and your faces were mere inches away.
And there it was, that familiar scent of pine and citrus. The memories you had locked away years ago had resurfaced once more–coming at you in a flash while you stared into his eyes. You felt yourself fall deeper into them. The inches between you decreased…and soon enough, the tips of your noses brushed against each other.
Then, you unexpectedly jump, startled at the sound and feel of your phone blaring from your pocket. You fish it out to see the name ‘Wooyoung’ flashing on the screen.
You decline the call but send a text message, saying that it was a little loud and that you’d call back.
You back away from Yoongi, suddenly desperate to enforce some distance between you two lest you completely lose the last shred of self-control that you were clinging onto.
Once you were finally away from the crowd and into a more open, quiet space, you say to him apologetically, “I have to go.”
He pursed his lips as if trying to hold himself back from saying something. You stand there, waiting and wondering if he would change his mind and just come out with it.
After a few beats of silence, he forces his mouth into a smile, then nods. “Alright,” he says simply.
You blinked slowly. It was a pathetic effort at a reality check for you. He said the right words and gave you the absolute closure that you needed for your relationship. A small part of you wondered what would have happened if Wooyoung hadn’t tried to call you. Would you have gone in all the way to kiss him?
Sadly, it didn’t work out that way so you’ll never know. “It was good to see you.” Your smile didn’t reach your eyes.
“Yeah…” he breathed out. “It was good to see you, too.”
“Well…I guess this is goodbye.”
You don’t wait for him to respond and instead, you turn on your heel and walk toward the exit. You tried to search around for Hyejin and Namjoon to say your ‘goodbyes’ but they looked like they were deep in conversation with another patron. You decide to shoot her a text when you got to your car instead.
Once you step out and the cool air hits you, you release one, big breath that you felt that you were onto for so long.
******
You sat alone in your car, contemplating the events that just unfolded minutes ago. You never thought you’d see him again–never. But, as fate would have it, your best friends managed to link up. How fucked up was that?
Your phone pinged, signaling a text. You lift the screen to your line of vision, seeing a name that was suddenly unfamiliar to you, with a text that said, ‘Headed to the restaurant now. Can’t wait to see you.’
You face falters at the promise. You sighed and leaned against your car’s headrest and closed your eyes.
What was he trying to pull back there? Making you yearn with all that talk about risking it all just to get a chance with you again. Who talks like that in real life?
Two knocks to your driver-side window startle you back into reality. You glanced over and see his cat-like features peeking through the glass.
You roll your window down and try to sound as casual as possible. “Hey! What’s up?”
He smiles shyly. “I…walked around the parking lot out back then down the block, hoping to still catch you.”
“Oh?” Your voice goes up slightly. “Haven’t had enough of me yet?” You tease him.
He chuckled at your cheekiness. “Yeah,” he sighed heavily, “I... didn’t like how we left things back there. You just ran off.”
You were incredulous. “Really? I thought we were good. I didn’t see anything wrong about the whole exchange. I said goodbye–”
“Yeah, exactly that,” he cuts you off. “You said ‘goodbye’.”
You chuckle awkwardly, confused by his remark. “Isn’t that what you’re supposed to say when you leave?”
“I know that but…I didn’t want you to leave.”
Your stomach does somersaults. You close your eyes for a second to internally smack yourself in an effort to keep it together. “Uhm…I…I don’t…I d–” You stutter.
“I didn’t want you leave.” He repeats firmly. “I can’t let you walk away from me again.”
“Y-Yoongi–”
“I fucked up. I should have gone after you that day.”
You feel your nose start to sting so you swallow thickly and grip your steering wheel tightly. Yes, you wished that he had called you or stopped you from leaving. But after enough time had past, you just thought that whatever he believed then was stronger than how he felt for you. Thinking about it more, you didn’t reach out to call him either to talk things through. At the end of the day, you just thought that it wasn’t meant to be.
“We weren’t good for each other then.”
“Because it wasn’t the right time for us then. We both had shit to work though–I know I did. And I realized that I’d rather do this with you than anybody else.”
You inhale sharply, trying to choke back the tears while hanging onto your last shred of self-preservation. “You hurt me,” you barely whisper.
At this point, he crouches by the driver-side door. “I know. And I’m truly sorry for what I did. I can’t change my actions or my words from that day and that’s something that I’ll never live down. But I promise to make it up to you this time…if you’ll let me.”
You rubbed your eyes in annoyance. You were incredibly frustrated with him and frustrated at the thought that was another man who was excitedly awaiting your arrival at a restaurant a few miles away. You even jokingly imposed a stupid 5-date rule before sleeping with him, but he respected your decision and you liked that about him.
Tonight was the fifth date. The night he was expected to seal the deal with you–and yet, here you were with your ex, seemingly at a stand-off.
You look straight into his eyes. “I don’t think it’s fair that you would back me into a corner like this. That’s just not–”
“I’m…I’m sorry. I just didn’t want to lose my chance again. For the longest time, I kept telling myself that if the opportunity presented itself, I would take it. And tonight…I…I just didn’t expect tonight to happen. And I know that you have plans but…I just knew that if I let this moment pass again, then I’m no better for it.”
You pursed your lips, unsure of what to say to him even though a thousand thoughts were running through your head.
“What do you want me to do? What are you asking from me?” It was all you could manage to cobble up. You were a mixture of confusion and irritation. You just wanted him to be straight with you.
“I want another chance. I want to give us another shot because…I still love you.”
At that point, his admission pushes your tears off the brim.
“Please don’t cry. I don’t mean to make you sad. I just wanted to tell you the truth. I’ve been miserable without you.”
You waited so long to hear him say those words. For a while, you agonized at the thought, wondering if he actually ever loved you. If you were even someone worth choosing.
“Why tell me now after all this time has passed?”
“I couldn’t love you as the old me then. The old me who let you down and made half-ass promises. I had to get myself together.”
“Oh, so now you’re ready?” You ask sarcastically, swiping at your cheeks.
He stares at you earnestly. “Yes,” he says firmly. “It took me some time to realize that I was being stubborn. I thought that I didn’t need to change anything because I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong. And it took me that whole time to really get what you were trying to say to me….what you asked me to do for you.”
You let out a chuckle. “I’ve had plenty of time to think about that, too and realized that I was being unreasonable back then.”
“Maybe. But…the more I thought about it, I realized that you were asking me for assurance and I refused give it to you…when I really should have.”
“Look, I shouldn’t have questioned the way you ran your business,” you demurred. “I crossed a line—“
“But that wasn’t it, though,” He insists. “In reality, there was no other logical reason as to why I kept a longstanding contract with Jiwon. I was trying to torture myself because I believed that I could totally look past that history and keep it strictly professional.”
Years ago, you would have pointed and laughed at him, and done a victory lap on your vindication.
“I was completely delusional back then and I needed time to figure the rest of my shit out.”
“And have you?” You ask him.
“Yeah, I have…and I found out that I still very much have trouble letting go of the past,” he concluded wryly.
You both chuckle at his honesty. Minutes ago, you had your hand on the ignition, ready to leave him…again. 
“Yoongi…”
“I know, I know…I have the worst timing,” he says ironically.
It was the understatement of the century. When you walked out of your door earlier tonight, you had no idea that you’d run into Yoongi, much less receive a proposition from him.
You couldn’t argue against the fact that he hurt you badly last time. You wanted him to go after you when you walked out on him…But just the same, you had to work through your own issues, too. The time apart was necessary to do some growing.
Truth be told, you were perfectly fine at the start of the evening. You were having fun, taking trips down memory lane.
But there was always something about him. Something that no amount of time or distance would fully make you understand the hold that he had on you.
You had moved on from past lovers without incident. But you fell for Yoongi so deeply in the shortest amount of time. When it all ended, you wondered every now and then, whether the untapped potential of your relationship was what made that ache linger…or perhaps it was just him.
The tension is broken when your phone rings again. You glance at the screen and it was what-his-face’s name flashing.
You look up at Yoongi, whose face falters slightly but he relaxed his shoulders and stood up from his crouched position. He still bends down a little, leaning on the window frame.
“I know you have somewhere to be so…I guess I’ll just leave it at that. You can call me…or whatever. I just didn’t want to let this moment pass without getting that off my chest.”
You sighed heavily at the option he’s left you with. You glance at the missed call notification that flashed on your screen.
“Please get home safely, okay?” He taps his palm on the roof of your car softly and with a soft nod, he begins to walk back to the venue.
You were torn–torn by the sound of the unheard message alert that sat in your voice mailbox and Yoongi’s fading footfalls.
But deep down, you already knew what you wanted. Your mind and heart had already decided for you the second that you saw him from across the room this evening.
Now, all you had to do was propel your body to physically execute that decision.
You swipe at your phone screen to make the notification disappear then push your car door open.
“Yoongi, wait!”#

May I please request "who needs them. we can have fun on our own" for Daisy and Webby?
Sure! I would’ve loved to see what their dynamic could’ve been like in the show. I certainly enjoyed the first prompt story I did of them, so let’s do this!
I give you…
Pink in the Autumn
Originated from this post.
“Okay, are we almost there, Uncle Donald?” demanded Louie.
“Yes, don’t worry,” reassured Donald. “Keep your head on straight.”
It was fall now, and with Donald and Daisy now dating, Donald felt it the perfect occasion to take her to Duck Ridge Farm. It had been one of his favorite places to go to back when it was just him and the boys, and he wanted Daisy to experience it for herself.
Of course, it wasn’t just them. If Donald knew anything about being in this family, it was that you can’t exactly turn down kids clamoring to get in some farm activities and apple picking at this time of year, regardless of their age. Which was why Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby were along for the trip, too.
“This is so exciting!” Webby chirped, clapping her hands together excitedly. “I’ve never done this before.”
“You’re going to love it, Webby,” Huey assured her.
“And we haven’t gone at all since we moved in with Uncle Scrooge,” Dewey added. “I’ve missed this place.”
Louie mentally counted back the years in his mind. “Wow…yeah,” he gasped. “Yeah, so have I.”
Eventually, along a long stretch of farm road, atop a small hill, they reached their destination.
“Never ceases to amaze me,” Donald remarked, taking in the scenery. Rows of pumpkins and apple trees, as well as some vacant peach trees, sat on one side of the road. On the other, a large barn with various arrangements of crops and flowers, as well as a couple of cash registers and scales, stood out amongst everything else. A few pens’ worth of farm animals were next to it, as well as coin-operated feed dispensers. Further back on that side were more apple trees, plus stalks of corn.
“I must say, Don,” Daisy commented, “I may be a city girl, but I can’t help but appreciate scenery like this.”
“Glad to hear it,” Donald replied, squeezing his girlfriend’s hand.
“It’s just like I remember it,” reminisced Louie.
“I…love it!” Webby chirped. “So what’s on the docket, Uncle Donald?”
“Well, it seems appropriate that we do some picking,” replied Donald.
“But of course!” Huey exclaimed.
So Donald went over to one of the registers, bought a few peck bags for everyone, and then the six set off towards a row of apple trees.
“Okay, what type of apples should we pick first?” Donald asked.
All of a sudden, the boys’ voices rang out in unison: “McIntosh!” “Fuji!” “Granny Smith!”
Donald shook his head. “I almost forgot how long it takes for the boys to decide what kinds of apples to pick,” he said to himself. Then he turned to Daisy and Webby. “I don’t want to keep you two waiting on this. You can go ahead without us. Here’s a map.”
“Are you sure about this, Donald?” Daisy questioned.
“Nothing I can’t handle,” Donald replied confidently. “Besides, do you two really want to spend your first visit here locked in endless apple debates?”
“As much as I love debates comparing and contrasting things,” Webby answered, “it would be fun to actually get to pick the apples.”
“Exactly,” replied Donald. “So why don’t we meet up at the stacks of apple crates in about an hour?”
“Fair enough,” Daisy reasoned. “We’ll see you boys then, I guess.”
“Bye, Uncle Donald! Bye, guys!” bid Webby. “We’re off to pick some apples of our own.”
Eventually, Donald and the boys were out of sight, and Webby and Daisy were searching for the perfect set of trees to pick from.
“Feels a bit weird doing it without them,” Webby remarked. “Might be more fun if it was all six of us.”
“Aw, who needs them?” Daisy asked teasingly. “We can have fun on our own.” She smiled reassuringly at Webby, which made her feel better about the situation.
“True,” the girl agreed. “Now, if I were the perfect tree, where would I be?”
And so they kept on searching. Eventually, they came across a nice row of Jonagolds.
“I think we should try and go for a variety of apples,” Daisy commented. “These look like they’d be a good starting point.”
“Definitely!” agreed Webby.
“This might sound a bit maddening,” Daisy added, “but I haven’t picked apples in years.”
“Really?” gasped Webby.
“Nope. Growing up in the city, for the most part, all I really knew was apples that came from stores. I think I did go once or twice when I was a little girl, but that’s it.”
“And now you can get back to it!” Webby chirped. “And I’ve never been before. But I’ve been doing research.”
“Oh, yeah?” Daisy asked curiously. “What have you found in your research?”
“Well, for one,” began Webby, “these apples, Jonagolds, are a cross between the Golden Delicious and Jonathan apples, hence the portmanteau name. They have a good sweet-tart balance, are very juicy, and have crisp, creamy yellow flesh.”
“Impressive,” said Daisy. “Webby, you are failing to cease to amaze me.”
“Aw, thanks,” Webby blushed. “Now let’s find some apples!”
And so they set to work picking. Daisy noted that the apples she was finding on the trees weren’t nearly as peerless as the ones she’d usually buy in a store. But, she reasoned, as long as they didn’t have any rot to them, or weren’t otherwise feeding any insects or creepy-crawlies, they were probably more than fine to eat. She also needed to make sure that it wasn’t too hard for her to pull off the branch, because that probably meant that the apple wasn’t quite ready yet.
Using her own keen eye, Webby was doing very well at finding good apples. And for those she couldn’t reach, Daisy would help her get to them.
Eventually, they moved on to a row of Galas. Webby explained that they were excellent snacking apples, and though also sweet, had a more distinctively mild flavor than Jonagolds. She and Daisy repeated the process from before, until eventually, they had a full bag of apples, bright red with various streaks of yellow.
“I think this calls for a celebration,” declared Daisy, and she pulled an apple from the bag, rubbing it on her jacket. “Go on. We’ve earned it.”
Webby selected an apple of her own, cleaning it off with her own jacket sleeve, and she and Daisy clashed them together in sort of a pseudo-toast before they chomped down on them, relishing the sweet taste.
“Ah, shoot,” Daisy interjected, looking at her watch. “We’ve gotta meet Donald and the boys soon.”
“Ooh, you’re right!” exclaimed Webby. “Let’s take our apples over there.”
“Besides,” Daisy added, “and I think we’d both agree on this, I want to see what kind of goodies they’re selling in that barn.”
“You read my mind perfectly,” Webby confirmed. And with thoughts of donuts and cider dancing in their minds, the two made their way back over towards their apple-picking party.
It didn’t necessarily matter that they didn’t have that much experience with picking apples before; Webby and Daisy could both say that when it came to it, they were a pretty great team.

Gingerbread Houses
Tumblr media
Jake x F! Reader
Warning: Tooth rotting Fluff
Word Count: 1k
Summary: You’ve always spent Christmas with the Kiszka’s but this year was the first one spent with Jake as a couple.
Masterlist: 🤍
Author’s Note: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HANUKKAH! For those that celebrate! Enjoy this short fluff fic! I was feeling festive with Christmas being around the corner. I decided to write some Christmas scenarios, the rest of the boys will be uploaded by the end of the week❤️
“Jake! You can’t put a penis on the gingerbread man!” You started laughing watching him try to create this masterpiece of his. “Why not! You can’t tell the two apart without it.” He tried justifying his answer, the two of you were making gingerbread houses for a Christmas activity. It was your first Christmas together as a couple. 
Jake and you have been friends for years, and had finally come to your senses on how you both felt with one another earlier on in the year. This was a special time of the year for you both, considering your families spend Christmas together. In fact the guys always cracked a joke at how the two of you would end up together at some point. And they weren’t wrong. Oh Y/N! It’s so nice to have you here!” Karen came into the dinning room hugging you, “I’m glad to be here! Thanks for always inviting us into your home Karen. We really appreciate it.” You smiled, giving her a squeeze before letting go, “Of course! And Jacob have some manners in front of your girlfriend…” She looked at him smiling before exiting the room. 
“Yeah Jacob…” You teased him, he smirked. “Watch that tone princess.” You bit your lip, “Whatever you say Jakey…” You walked up to him kissing his lips softly. He kissed you back instantly. You then heard a familiar voice chime in, “Can you guys get a room!” Sam walked into the dining room. “Besides, I need to help Mom set up for dinner here.” Jake started laughing as he patted his brother on the back, “Oh relax, it's not like my tongue was down her throat.” You started to gather the gingerbread houses to move to the family room to finish. “Just about!” Sam tried to argue, you guys then moved over to the family room to finish your houses. 
Jake put the finishing touches on his gingerbread people before placing them in front of the house. You finished just shortly after, looking at the masterpieces you two created. “Did you put the gum drops as boobs?” You looked at Jake’s gingerbread house. “Yes, yes I did…” He started laughing, and you chimed in with him. “I thought this was a family fun activity? Oh well…” You giggled, “Hey now! You can’t put the blame on me, when we were in high school you would break the poor gingerbreads legs off!” Your eyes went wide at remembering that, “We do not speak of that Jacob!” “It’s only fair!” He smirked and started tickling you which made you jerk, making your gingerbread house break. 
“Oh Y/N, I’m so sorry…” He looked up at you, “No it's okay, my dumbass just didn’t put enough icing to stick it together.” You laughed looking at the mess it made, shortly after Karen was calling everyone to go eat. Jake quickly cleaned up the mess before walking with you to the dining room to eat. You were greeted by your parents who had finished helping Karen bring the dishes out, it was only Christmas Eve dinner so nothing too crazy. Tomorrow was the actual feast. Throughout dinner you stole glances at Jake as he did the same, you all had shared stories from this year to one another. And of course Josh had told the story of when Jake fell on stage because he was distracted by you in the crowd. Making Jake give him a death glare as he was embarrassed at the show from that.
After everyone was finished with dinner, Jake had helped Josh clean up the plates and such. You helped Sam clean the table, and make the dining room neat again. Then you heard Jake calling you into the living room, you sure enough followed his voice and were met with a little gift. “Jake it’s not christmas yet…” You looked up at him as he was handing you a box wrapped in red wrapping paper. “I know, but I wanted you to have it now. I couldn’t wait any longer.” He smiled, moving a piece of your hair behind your ear. “Well c’mon. Open it!” He chuckled softly, you didn’t hesitate unwrapping the box and opening it. Inside was a ring, a promise ring to be exact. It was white gold, and had a little heart rhinestone. 
“Jakey…” Your eyes started to well up with tears. “I promise to be devoted to you, love you, care for you and always be there for you. And I promise that I will marry you one day. I love you so much Y/N. You mean the absolute world to me, I don’t know what I’d do without you.” Your tears started to fall, smiling at him. “I love you, and I love this…” You started to giggle softly putting the ring on. “It’s perfect Jake. Thank you.” You smiled, pulling him into a hug. You laid your head against his chest, feeling his arms wrap around you tightly. He kissed the top of your head, “Merry Christmas princess.” “Merry Christmas Jakey.”
Karen walked in with her polaroid camera, “Oh c’mon! Let’s get a picture of you two love birds!” She smiled, as you two turned towards her posing nicely. She took the picture real quick, then she grabbed her phone to take another. That’s when Jake tilted you back kissing your lips softly keeping his arms around you so you wouldn’t fall, and you held onto him for dear life. Enjoying this moment with him. His mom took a photo of that and giggled softly, “Aw… You’re going to make me cry…” Jake pulled away from you, “Come here mom.” He smiled, opening his arm to get her in a hug with you two. Karen walked over hugging the both of you tightly, “I love you both very much.” You smiled into the hug, “We love you too.” Jake and you chimed in before breaking the hug. 
Jake held you close to him, kissing your hand softly. He ran his thumb over your ring. “Don’t worry, you’ll get a real ring eventually…” He smirked softly, “For now this will do…” You blushed, kissing his cheek softly, “Come on! Let’s go make hot chocolate and watch The Santa Clause!” You giggled, grabbing his hand dragging him along with you. “You better put extra marshmallows in mine!” Jake exclaimed to you.
Another Christmas in the books, but the first of many more with Jakey… <3

Right By Your Side | Chapter 2 - I'll See You Later
Summary: In the world where wearing glasses makes you a different person. You were forced to swallow a pill that turned you into seven years old. Now, you're living with your crush in a small form, what would you do? Who were the ones who brought this to you? And, can you change back?
Chapter summary: Separating from Natasha to investigate a suspicious activity, you found yourself in a precarious situation
Series Masterlist
I was slightly scared about the roller coaster, but nothing I couldn't take, it's just like jumping off a building right? The intense beating of my heart was increasing as the roller coaster slowly crept its way to the peak before dropping us down.
I looked at Nat as I felt her hands on mine. My mind momentarily forgets that we were on a roller coaster but the next moment the roller coaster dived and I squeezed her hands by reflex.
"I would think you are okay with roller coasters when you're the one who brought me here." Natasha said as she helped me out of the seat.
"I am! I'm fine! I just lost some strength." I said as I tripped on my own foot, disproving my point there.
"Right... some strength." Nat reached out her hand and I took it, pulling me up to my feet. I dusted myself off before finding another ride to join the queue.
I didn't buy the fast pass because I wanted to spend time talking with her. There isn't always a chance to be speaking to her without any distraction, excuses that she has work to do, mission or other agent needing her help. She's just too popular, everyone wants a piece of her.
We continued on for a couple more rides until it was dark. It was just unfortunate that the first ride we took knocked it out of me because I was fine the rest of the day.
"We should probably head out, the theme park is closing." Natasha suggested after getting out from the last ride.
"Yeah okay, I'm starving." The sun had already gone down and there were only a handful of people walking around or headed towards the exit. I pressed my lips together trying to suppress a smile on my face. I had actually managed to spend time with Nat without any disturbance.
"Should we head back to the compound first?" Nat asked as she took out the keys to her car. However, I was looking at something else that caught my attention. "Hey Y/N, what are you looking at?" She looked at the direction I was facing but found nothing.
"Huh? Nothing much. Why don't you head back to the compound first? I'll see you later!" I ran off without giving her a chance to stop me. Well, she was on the other side of her car.
"Hey! How are you going to get back?" I heard her shout.
"Don't worry, I can manage!" I replied. Waving my hand at Nat and  running across the road.
What I saw was someone dragging a man into an alley. I couldn't tell if they were friends or in trouble. It could be big, it could be small but I didn't want to make a fool out of myself when it turns out to be nothing.
My hands went to my back where my gun would be placed, except it wasn't there. I remembered taking it before coming because we were supposed to be spending a relaxing time and they wouldn't allow loose items on rides.
"Shit." I mumbled under my breath. I should have taken a gun from Nat's car.
I crept quietly, making sure not to step on pieces of glass and rubbish on the floor. I tried to find traces of the duo, which wasn't hard as it was the only sound coming from the alley. I rounded the corner to see a tall long silver hair man pulling out a gun from his jacket and pulling the trigger on the defenseless man. Blood splattered out and before I could react, I was knocked out from the back of my head.
My eyes threatened to close as I laid on the floor. I didn't see his partner sneaking up behind me.
"Gin, what are we supposed to do? She saw us!" The guy was slightly shorter than the silver haired man said.
"Vodka, relax. The organisation just gave us a new drug, this is the perfect time to test them." He calmly took out a silver container from his pocket to reveal a red and white pill. "This is supposed to kill him and the autopsy result won't show anything."
He turned me around so I was facing him. I tried to resist but my limbs have no strength. I could only watch as they placed the pill in my mouth before pouring water and closing my mouth shut, forcing me to swallow the pill.
"Let's go, they should be found in the morning." Gin ordered Vodka to get away.
Second POV Natasha had been waiting in the compound for hours but you were still not back. While having dinner with the team, her mind was elsewhere. It was not like you  to not report where you were if you were running late. She was getting more worried as the time passed, no longer having the appetite to eat as she pushed the food around.
"I'm sure she's okay Nat." Steve spoke up, not liking to see his friend feeling down.
"I can't sit here and do nothing. I'm going to find her." Nat stood up and took her jacket before running off.
While driving, she tried to call your phone but you weren't answering. The first place she went was where you left her. She went in the direction she saw you running, going into the alley, making left and right turns before stumbling upon the dead body.
Immediately she rushed towards the corpse and saw the state of it, a bullet hole straight through the middle of the head. Initially, Nat thought it was because you killed a man so you went into hiding, but she clearly remembered seeing you keep your gun in your room.
She called the cops anonymously before going back to find clues about you again. She was almost certain the crime scene was what caused you to disappear. She searched high and low in the vicinity for any clues before the police arrived but she was unable to find anything other than your phone on the ground. She decided to take it with her because she didn't want you to be one of the suspects. But without your phone it would be harder to track you.
Feeling like she hit a dead end, she tried to find your friend. No one else knows about him other than Natasha. Just like how only you knew about Natasha's sister, Yelena.
She went back to her car and made her way to your friend's house. You didn't have many friends because you were busy with your work and it's hard to decipher one's intention of making friends when you're Avenger. You never know if they were taking advantage of you or planning to hurt you.
He however, has been by your side for as long as you can remember. He was your father's friend.

Herb and Bojack
Okay so one of the relationships that really stuck with me was the one between Herb and Bojack and I just wanna unpack that a bit. I’ll start off from where I first got really interested in them, The View From Halfway Down. Even in his mind, Herb is a source of comfort and they easily play off each other’s sense of humour, wondering why people use the phrase “Can I ask you a question?”. Herb calls him by affectionate nicknames like Bj and buddy, something Bojack has conjured in his own mind. 
What makes Herb’s role in his dream so important is that Bojack believes being with Herb was the best moment of his life, something he could never admit out loud. Bojack, teaching a lesson in his drama class, remembers what it was like with Herb and that’s what makes it the best best moment. Unfortunately, Bojack’s internalised homophobia gets to him, and Secretariat/Butterscotch immediately has an issue specifically with Herb. His distaste for Herb is due to their conversation about suicide, but the animosity that Secretariat/Butterscotch has towards Herb implies some underlying hatred. As we know, Butterscotch was homophobic himself. 
This begins before Herb and Secretariat/Butterscotch even talk to one another as he immediately disrespects Herb, squeezing in beside him and throwing a wreath on him. Herb’s philosophy pisses off Secretariat/Butterscotch. Herb willingly listens to Bojack and actively gets Bojack to think about his best part, he nods along and walks over to Bojack. And when he says that remembering Herb was his best part, Herb smiles and asks “Really?”.
During the dream, Herb appears to be the same as he was in the 90s, showing what part of him Bojack remembers and cherishes the most. Even in his suit, Herb still has the design from his first outfit. Herb is shown to be brutally honest throughout the series, which makes it fitting that he is the one to call out Bojack by the end of the episode, using the titular line “stupid piece of shit”. Bojack internalised the guilt of abandoning Herb, he looks down with a sad expression when Herb talks about having cancer, which Herb said he would have to live with when he goes to apologise. 
When Herb and Bojack are doing their joke about asking questions, Bojack smiles. But the minute it ends Bojack has another sad look staring down at the pills. It’s a bittersweet moment where Bojack gets to enjoy a joke with Herb one last time. It speaks volumes that Bojack remembers Herb as young, considerate and thoughtful. He asks Herb for answers when he realises he’s drowning. Herb is the voice of reason in his mind and tells him how his mind is going through the motions. As Herb disappears into the black tar, Bojack goes from shock to fear to clasping his hands together and staring sadly into the darkness. He mourns Herb in his own mind all over again.

The cutest (no longer secret): HIKARU??
Tumblr media
The title should give it away on whose the ler
Warning: Tickling
Very short fic for no reason
On the last episode you left for the States for an emergency, missing Hikaru's birthday. Now you ended up missing Queendom because of a mental health related issue. Bad thing was, you had to recover in your hometown meaning you couldn't see them. It was a heart shattering face time at 3AM to reveal you had to take care of your health as a short hiatus. The members were acting fine, trying to be supportive. Lifting up their heads in smiles and not show an ounce of emotion so you wouldn't cry. But it was soon too late when you heard sniffles from Yeseo. Then they had to immediately shut it off before you could get a sad thought in. Two months of despair and you got a call from the CEO, just checking in on you since the kep1er comeback was coming soon. Good news was that you were coming back just in time for them to comeback and start filming their new music video. Bad news? You had to learn the dance in two days. Which was okay, you could conquer the impossible.
Y/n: I'm home! Shit...oh shit...
You realized with a long flight and you practicing the dance to Up in an airplane bathroom that you didn't notify the members about returning to Korea. Of course it never bothered you, only that you weren't coming home with open arms or open fingers meant for tickling. But regardless you were sure that no matter what they couldn't make it because they're so busy. You took off your shoes and quietly set them behind Dayeon's shoes. You tip toed into your room and turned on the lights, but dimed them to the lowest setting so it wasn't too bright. Everything you did was out of quietness, showering, unpacking, grabbing a quick dessert from Hikaru's secret stash. Speaking of Hikaru...look who arrives when you open the door abruptly.
Y/n: Hikaru... Hikaru....
Hikaru: No ones here they all went to practice. Which means...
Well what a waste of the precious time you spent doing every activity ten times slower. Hikaru hugs you, which turns into a slow but softer approach to pin you down. Hikaru is reaching her ler arc now, the time she's been waiting for since she first had her hands to your sides. But it's odd, you being the same height as Xiaoting being pinned by a shortie who was Hikaru?? First of all, why was she wanting to tickle you this late?? And without her partner in crime Yeseo?? All the mixed emotions while Hikaru is happily smiling on top of you.
Hikaru: Just a little thank you for the birthday surprise.
Y/n: A simple thank you would go a long way. Besides, if you tickle me you know you'll get trampled with your small height right?
Hikaru: Aha...that's why I asked Dayeon for pointers.
Y/n: WAIT NO NOAHHAHHAHAHHAHA
She goes out for blood aka your neck. Giving it lots of small kisses while digging her four fingers in your armpits. Your arms bend and scrunch by your shoulders as you giggle at the light kisses Hikaru was giving. Every turn away from your neck to avoid them made another free spot of your neck which is ready to kiss. Then she was kissing all over your face while giving you the best tummy squeezes ever. Such squeaky happy laughter putting Hikaru into shambles because she misses those times. But you can tell she learned a bit from Dayeon because she always gives you loads of kisses to distract the tummy tickles she gives out.
Hikaru: Why did you think it's a good idea to not tell the members you were arriving?
Y/n: Sorry...the song to Up is so catchy. Please forgive me...
Hikaru: I'll forgive you after some raspberries.
Damn you didn't even have time to freak out before Hikaru lifted your shirt and gave you a surprise raspberry. Not gonna lie, coming from a girl who's a lee ninety percent of the time you saw that she's extremely good at raspberries. Then at the second raspberry you lost her balance and she fell off your lap. You felt bad as she accidentally hit her head on the leg of the desk. You rubbed her head but she said her head was okay and continued to tickle your sides. You both were having fun and being careless in the middle of the dark night until the rest of the girls came. They peeped in to see why there was familiar laughter and Hikaru pretending to be a tickle monster.
Hikaru: My tickle claw will get you!!
Y/n: HAHAH NO NO...oh...you're home....
They couldn't be mad at the sight of Hikaru being a ler had to be the cutest thing they've seen all day. You would think the sight of the cutest lees would make them devour at the both of them. But no. They knew Hikaru needed her little revenge on you so they slowly closed the door, letting Hikaru give you multiple raspberries.
What a...warm welcome...
(but it's okay in the morning they ended up attacking you with kisses)

“I’m gonna marry you just for doing that.” + Billy/Skull because I have really ZERO self control ;D
Skull gets extremely angry at the Billy!Putty and mounts a rescue.*
"Did anyone even notice something was...off...about the Putty that was acting as me?"
His parents, his best friends, all the people that cared about him looked pinched in the face and so uncomfortable for a whole breath. It almost sunk in like a spike of terror through his system--
"Um, Skull. Skull noticed."
Billy would be feeling the absolutely terrible results of the whiplash from that one sentence as he lifted his head up and looked over to Matt, arms crossed and looking like he would have liked to have been anywhere else. Or not spoken at all.
Especially with how the others looked...not quite guilty, but a little shocked that they hadn't said the words first.
Thankfully, Zack was excellent at exposition and Billy didn't have to ask Matt to continue as the Cranston parents looked entirely disbelieving at Matt, squeezing Billy's hand and shoulder and utterly stupefied as the others filled in the blanks.
"Oh, yeah, Skull did. He totally noticed."
"Like, the first day," Kim put in, looking over at Matt, and then over at Trini when she piped up, "Or, more like the first hour after your evil twin walked into the school hallways."
"Though, honestly," Jason put in, both looking and sounding guilty, "We thought he'd just lost his mind a little bit."
Billy looked torn between hopeful and confused. They had been bestfriends once upon a time in the sandbox, it was true, but once middle school came around and things got...complicated...they hadn't exactly been on the best of terms. It was a redeeming thing to hold onto in the void of nobody noticing his double standing in his place, but the way everyone looked...
The blue eyed boy in the hospital gown had to ask.
"Why's that?"
They all went totally mute, looking over at each other and at Billy's parents, until Matt spoke up again, rubbing the back of his neck and using his hands to illustrate like a game show aid.
"He sort of...got really mean when he noticed the Putty. He kept asking it the same question starting every morning, over and over and over again every day. Three times a day. And each time the Putty gave him what must have been the wrong answer--which to us sounded right, but there must have been something in the way he said it that pissed Skull off--Skull spent the rest of the day, um."
He looked up at the ceiling, traced a stain that looked like someone had soaked the ugly green-grey squares in coffee, and then looked back at Billy.
"Teasing--"
"No," Jason interrupted, Kim and Trini shaking their heads along with him.
Zack put in his two cents, "That's too nice a word."
"Okay," Matt grumbled, going for honest, "Hazing the Putty-You worse than anything he and Bulk have ever done to anyone, ever, altogether, at one time."
Billy quirked an eyebrow at that. He didn't like what Skull and Bulk did to him by way of bullying; but after almost two weeks on the moon, he'd looked back and come to see their annoying behavior as relatively harmless. Childish, and not something Billy liked to dwell on, but Skull had largely been a backseat driver to Bulk, and Bulk never went further than tossing paper balls or water balloons at him, or putting sand in his locker.
Trini nodded though, counting off on her fingers, "He cut open a gallon of milk and dumped it on the Putty from the third floor during lunch."
"He messed with a chemistry assignment and turned your Putty's test beaker into a fireball," Jason put in, putting his pointer fingers together and then miming a 'BOOM' explosion.
Kim looked a little ill, "He got roadkill off of the highway and stowed them under your car so the Putty had to take it to a carwash and sterilize the whole inside with I don't even know what.n
"Then of course there was the locker thing that got him suspended a day before homecoming," Zack mumbled and petered off as Matt actively glared at him bringing this one thing up, which of course meant there was no way Billy was going to let that slide.
"What locker thing?"
Matt stimmed his fingers, steepling them and then making butterfly waves as he looked for what must have been a nicer phrasing that what he was coming up with. But that wasn't to be as Mr. Cranston made a sound in the back of his throat like, "Oh," and Billy's mom seemed to flinch as her face scrunched up in finding a certain memory as well.
Billy repeated, with fervor, "What locker thing?"
Kim, bless her soul, was probably bolstered by being the new girl and spoke up, "Uh, he gave the Putty one last chance to answer his question right, and...well, when he didn't, there was a...surprise...in the locker. The principal was mad as hell and had to call animal control before having Skull suspended and walked out the door by security."
"...Animal control?"
"I don't know how, but," Matt leaned in, kind of stunned to even be saying the words, "He managed to stuff your locker with three venomous snakes. The only reason the Putty didn't get bit was because Jason didn't freeze up when one of them lunged."
"...Snakes."
Trini looked dreadfully uncomfortable at her own recollection of the event, "Rattlesnakes to be specific. One little guy that probably couldn't have done much harm, but the other two were pretty big."
Zack mimed the length and size of said snakes with his hands, stretching from the tip of his fingers to the inside of his arm, looking queasy as Jason made a motion with one hand about snapping teeth.
Billy just...stared into space for a moment, contemplating.
It wasn't that he thought it wasn't possible. He'd seen Skull play with things and snatch things that he wasn't supposed to when they were kids and Stan Skullovitch had ducked out of keeping an eye on them in the woods or near the creak where the family lived. He was fast and smarter than most people gave him credit for.
Which raised an interesting theory.
"What was the question?"
--*-- The awareness of other kids watching him from the moment he stepped onto school property and kept on doing so as he made his way to his locker was not lost on Billy, but the others were surrounding him like a pack of wolves, shooing off Brady and his little group when the obnoxious redhead tried to get an "interview" for his Ranger Report, and Ms. Appleby being next to her classroom to give him a pat on the shoulder and a warm welcome back. Matt had told him that apparently Bulk and the other loners he'd been wont to hang out with in recent weeks had given a fair warning to the rest of the school about being assholes (which...was a shock, but not as much as it might have been since Arrival Day when Bulk and Skull had stopped being so much of what they'd been for the last five years; probably too caught up in their little hometown being under fire from alien monsters and magic, like everyone) and would keep an eye on Billy; but they'd largely stay out of his way. At least, until he recovered. But Billy didn't appreciate that nearly as much as turning the corner to his locker to find Skull waiting there; back to the adjacent metal cubby, arms crossed, legs crossed, eyes closed, sagging like his usual bad posture demanded, but also more in a way. Billy could almost feel the way his ears might have pricked up like an animal, but not in fear, more in interest. Jason and Zack had paused a little as they followed after him, Kim and Trini having gone to get his files for remedial homework at the desk while he tucked away things he didn't need--like everything was normal. He didn't pause in his slow walk, not like his two best friends who had tensed a little at the sight of the teenager in black (though not entirely; Billy spotted his little orange-black anarchist pin, his omni pride pin and the goddamn adorable pumpkin Bulbasaur pin attached to the left pocket of his leather jacket--plus the belt he was wearing, though sheer black, had little orange jack-o-lantern smiles) and ambled his way over like he hadn't been in Promethea's medical ward and then the hospital for forty-eight hours. Once he got to his destination, he took the moment to peer curiously, a little in worry too, at the way Skull's hair was a bit more floppy than usual from lack of gel, his skin was more faded, and there were bags under his eyes. If he was a betting man, he'd also say that the other probably had eaten just about as much as Billy had in the last twelve days; and Billy had been in a dungeon, given food that included eyeballs and blue gelatin. Unable to resist, Billy poked Skull in the shoulder to get his attention. The jolt he got was one he hadn't been expecting, because he hadn't expected him to be that close to sleep. Skull full body flinched, head banging back into the locker and his eyes widened like he'd been shot, looking at Billy like he was about to attack him-- For about a microsecond. Then he blinked, wiped at his eyes and folded his arms to lean back against the lockers like it was nothing, "Hello there." "Hi." Billy carefully tucked away the embarrassment at the crack his voice made in one stupid word, keeping his face passive and pointed as he looked at his locker that Skull was still blocking. "I need to get my books." "What's the password?" His ears picked up how his other friends had picked up the pace, probably ready to launch themselves between the two in a moment, but Billy had thought long and hard about this over the last couple nights. "I know not, sir, I'm but a present." That got Skull's face to do something kind of strange. His mouth thinned and and face stayed blank, but his eyes went a little warm, seemed a little more clear. "What's your name?" Billy smiled, ears attuned to the way the 'a' in 'name' carried almost three beats that others couldn't hear, but Billy cherished from childhood. Leaning over with his hand cupped, he waited until Skull bent down to hear the whisper. Like they were children again. It was really gratifying to know he was right when he whispered that one word that needed to be said to give the punk peace of mind, Billy a little hope that there was at least one person that knew him better than anyone else and Skull's body seemed to lose all of its tension. He relaxed against the metal lockers and smiled a little lopsided as Billy pulled back his hand without fully pulling away. The punk let the blond bump their foreheads as Skull squeezed Billy's shoulders and warmth flooded back into both of their cheeks. Neither one of them noticed their friends peering curiously at them, quiet as field mice when Skull finally responded after a moment. "Glad you're safe and home, Billy." Billy adjusted the straps of his backpack, sheepish all of a sudden, but didn't hesitate when Skull pulled his hand off and found himself pinching the shoulder spike on the punk's own shoulder to make him lean down. The kiss on the cheek was quick and sure and absolutely not what Skull was expecting, but Billy still did it before speaking still very quietly, but warm, "Thank you for getting the Rangers to rescue me." "I-um...what makes you think I did anything?" Red as a beet, skittery as a baby deer, rubbing at the back of his neck like he was little more than that little kid that used to play space pirates with Billy and got easily flustered when Mrs. Cranston offered to call Mrs. Skullovitch so they could have a sleepover when he was too scared to call himself and didn't expect anything better. "Because Matt and the others told me about your plotting and hazing the Putty. Bulk told me about how you reacted when he suggested you'd stopped taking your meds and remained adamant about something being wrong. And, well," Billy fiddled with his locker and opened the door to distract himself from his own blushing at the memory of Homecoming--what the others had described and half the school had caught on their phones, "The Orange Ranger kind of let slip certain implications while he was carrying me around the moon palace like so much luggage." Skull coughed and stuttered something entirely unintelligent for about two seconds, "I, well, that's not--" Both of them flinched, full-body and ridiculous, as the warning bell sounded for their first classes. "I'll see you around, Eugene," Billy grinned, closing his locker and heading in the other direction, as his friends dove into their own lockers to grab their stuff at frenzy as Skull stood still for just another moment. The others didn't hear, but Billy caught the little call before he turned the corner. "You too, Bones."
