Tumblr media
“You should really lock your door.”
A startled gasp flew past your lips when the timber of Billy’s voice filled your otherwise silent apartment. Anger and irritation quickly filled your blood as you took a deep breath to steady yourself, slamming your front door shut behind you as you tossed your keys onto the little side table in the entryway.
“You shouldn’t break into people’s apartments.”
“I didn’t even have to break in. The door was unlocked.”
Turning around to face Billy, you didn’t bother coveting the vexation that twisted your features, glaring over in his direction as he sat calmly in one of the bar stools in front of your kitchen island. His jaw was tense, lips pressed in a firm line, and his dark brown eyes were glaring back at you just as vehemently.
“So you just let yourself in?”
“Where the hell have you been? I’ve been callin’ you for hours. I told you to wait in your office.”
“And I said no. Actually, I’m pretty sure my exact words were ‘fuck this’.”
Billy’s eyes were glued to your figure as you walked directly past him to enter your small kitchen, standing up on your tiptoes to reach the bottle of tequila perched on top of your fridge. Your hands trembled with rage, continuously slipping on the cap, only fueling your frustration further. No one had ever gotten under your skin the way Billy Russo had. Whatever tiny slivers of a good person he had shown you were constantly extinguished by irrefutable evidence that he was an arrogant asshole with an ego the size of fucking Jupiter.
“I gave you an order.”
“Did you really think I was going to stay? After the way you treated me-”
“Goddammit Y/N, I told you I was handling it.”
Billy slammed his fist down on your island, momentarily stunning you silent. He was all about appearances, and very rarely did he ever lose his temper in front of anyone. He liked to maintain an aura of indifference, as if nothing could pierce his cold, steel exterior. But the fury burning in his gaze gave him away, and you felt a surge of pride that you had managed to piss him off right back. Billy didn’t like being told no, or to be challenged, so you made it your personal mission to do both as much as possible. For whatever reason, you were the only person he allowed to do that.
“Well you fucking handled it wrong. I can even believe you had the audacity to ask me to leave, after the way that asshole spoke to me-”
“Because I was handling it! This is my fuckin’ company, Y/N. I call the shots, not you. If you would have just waited patiently, like I fuckin’ told you to do, then you would know that I cut ties with his business and also gave him the parting gift of a broken nose. I asked you to wait in the office so that I could deal with him directly, because that is my job. I asked you to wait so that I didn’t have to watch him practically undress you with his eyes for the millionth fuckin’ time today. But you don’t know how to fuckin’ listen.”
Tilting your chin up in a sign of defiance, you attempted to keep your composure as Billy stalked around the island, closing the distance between you in two short strides, standing so close you could feel his angry staccato breaths on your eyelashes. His nostrils were flaring, chest rising and falling quickly as he stared you down. You had never been this close to Billy before, and you hated how good his stupid expensive cologne smelled.
You also hated that his slicked back hair always looked perfect, never a single piece out of place, and that his dark beard was always neatly trimmed. You hated that Billy was undeniably attractive, and that he fucking knew it. You especially hated how good he looked in all his ridiculous designer suits that were tailored to fit him like a second skin. You hated how put together he was. You hated how much of a pretentious show off he was. You hated the deep velvet tone of his voice and how your name sounded rolling off his tongue, even if it was spoken with annoyance or irritation laced through it.
You hated that you really wanted to fuck him.
But you loved to fuck with him.
Taking a bold step forward to eliminate any space between your chests, you tipped your head back to glare up at his tall frame, lowering your voice as you let your venomous words sink into his ears.
“We are not in the military, Billy. You are not my commanding officer, and I am not some soldier that’s just going to follow the orders you bark at me without hesitation. That is not how this works.”
“I am your superior. You report to me. You work for me. So yeah actually, that is how this works.”
“Not anymore.”
If you thought Billy’s eyes were dark before, they were completely transcended with pure onyx now. Even this up close, you couldn’t see where his iris ended and his pupil began. 
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“I found a new job.”
That was a lie. You hadn’t been out job hunting. You went to happy hour with your best friend to vent about the asshole client that had made a pass at you, and Billy’s inability to handle the situation correctly, and well…Billy in general. But he didn’t need to know that. You could have a new job by Monday, easily. Granted you probably wouldn’t find one that paid even half as good as Anvil did, or that came with as many perks, but you’d finally be free of Billy and his goddamn god complex. 
Somehow Billy’s features became even stonier, his sharp jawline appearing as if it could actually cut through glass while a muscle feathered beneath his neat facial hair.
“You’re not quittin’.”
“You don’t get to make that decision for me. Maybe my replacement will be more compliant.”
“Why do you always have to be so goddamn stubborn?”
“Why do you always have to be such an ass.”
Billy grit his teeth as his eyes narrowed into slits, top lip curling into a snarl that showed off some of his teeth as he blew a deep irritated exhale out through his nose. He let out a dry, humorless laugh as he held his hand up above your head.
“You know, I have fuckin’ had it up to here with that bratty little mouth of yours, and your fuckin’ attitude.”
“Well I’m not your problem anymore.”
Something flashed across Billy’s face that you didn’t recognize, and the rage that was burning in his eyes seemed to grow even wilder. A sinister smirk pulled slowly across his lips, and his brows lifted in an expression that almost resembled amusement as he moved forward. A silent gasp parted your lips when your back met the counter behind you, and Billy made sure to press his chest firm against yours as he trapped you with his tall frame, his arms caging you in as he placed his palms flat on the countertops. 
“No. See, that’s where you’re wrong, doll. It is my problem. Because I let you get away with it for too long without any consequences. But now, I think you need to be reminded about where your place is.”
You swallowed thickly at the new proximity to Billy, doing your best to appear unaffected by his presence, but your voice betrayed you as it came out shaky and breathless.
“And where’s that?”
A dark chuckle slipped past his lips as Billy leaned in as close as possible, nose just brushing against yours while he stared directly into your eyes.
“Wherever I fuckin’ say it is.”
Billy’s hand was wrapped around your throat like wild ivy before you even had a chance to process his words, his long slender fingers circling around your windpipe tightly to cut off any protests you threatened to spill. His other hand came up behind you to grab a fistful of your hair, holding you in place so that you had no choice but to stare up at him. Letting out a deep exhale through his nose, he made a tsk tsk tsk noise in the back of his throat.
“You disappoint me, doll. Such a smart girl, so fuckin’ impressive, but you gotta ruin it by bein’ such a goddamn brat. I’d give you the world, you know that? If you just knew how to fuckin’ behave. If you could just be a good girl, I’d give you whatever you wanted. But you wanna act like a bitch, so I’m gonna treat you like one. Here’s how this is gonna go. You do what the fuck I say, when the fuck I say it. You follow my orders without any backtalk or hesitation, I might consider takin’ it easy on you and let you come. You give me any shit at all, I will use you like a fucktoy until I’m satisfied and not let you come once. You understand?”
Your eyes nearly tripled in size at Billy’s words. Billy Russo was a natural flirt, that was a known fact. He hit on any pretty girl within a close range, but was more conservative about it when it came to his own employees. He had lightly flirted with you when you had first started working at Anvil, and you’d be lying if you said the attention from your attractive boss didn’t do something for you, but the more you were around him, the more that charm seemed to wear off as you got to see the real Billy. You didn’t think he actually found you attractive, or that he would actually want to fuck you seeing as how you were convinced he couldn’t stand you either.
Billy tightened his grip around your throat and you suddenly seemed to remember how your limbs worked as your hands shot up to grab onto his wrist tightly, staring up completely in disbelief into his dark eyes.
“I asked you a question. Do you understand?”
You couldn’t speak. You weren’t sure if it was the lack of oxygen going to your brain or if you were still having a hard time believing that Billy Russo wanted to fuck you. Heat abruptly spread across your cheeks and between your thighs, because you knew you were going to let him. Billy had gotten you wetter just by speaking to you than other men that had actually been in bed with you. Shutting off the logical part of your brain that was screaming at you how bad of an idea this was and reminding you how much you despised him, you leaned completely into your desire and let your pussy do the thinking. As you slowly nodded your head, Billy’s lips parted into a smug grin.
“Ah, so she does listen.”
It wasn’t hard for Billy to figure out where your bedroom was considering you lived in a tiny one bedroom apartment. For a moment you felt embarrassed, knowing that he probably lived in some luxury high rise penthouse somewhere with a bedroom that was most likely the size of your entire apartment. Shrugging off his suit jacket and tossing it onto your dresser, Billy kept his eyes fixated on you as he undid his tie and pulled it loose from his neck.
“Hands out, wrists together.”
Your hands were in front of you in a flash, and Billy didn’t bother hiding the satisfied smirk on his lips as he bound your wrists together tightly. The silk fabric of his tie was so soft against your skin, and the black color of it nearly matched his eyes at the moment. Giving the knot a tug to test the security, Billy grabbed your face in one of his hands to get you to look up at him. The smirk was gone as an expression of severity swirled in his eyes.
“You want out at any time, you tell me. Red means stop. You got that?”
Blinking a few times, you nodded your head slowly. Billy shook his head as he took a step forward, cradling your face a little more gently as he stared down into your eyes.
“I need you to tell me you got that. Tell me what I said.”
“Red means stop.”
Billy gave a slight nod of his head, tracing his index finger along your jawline with a proud half smile on his lips.
“Good girl. Now, get on your fuckin’ knees and show me you know how to follow orders.”
Billy grabbed your shoulders in his large hands and forcefully brought you down to your knees, causing a surprised gasp to flow past your lips. Your knees ached slightly as they collided with the hardwood beneath them, but the throbbing between your thighs completely drowned it out. Billy already towered over you, even when you wore heels, but from this angle, he loomed over you like a skyscraper piercing the clouds. He was quick to unbuckle his belt, eyes glaring down at you as he unbuttoned his pants and tugged down his zipper.
“Been thinkin’ about fuckin’ that mouth of yours for months. Always thought there was a better use for it than you talkin’ shit all the time. Now, open those pretty lips nice and wide.”
Instinctively your lips parted when Billy freed his cock from his briefs, a soft noise sounding in the back of your throat. He was completely hard, the swollen tip already leaking down his impressive length, and your mouth watered at the sight. Maybe Billy had a reason to be an egotistical asshole after all. Billy wasted no time slipping his cock past your lips, securing your hair into a tight makeshift ponytail as he groaned loudly above you.
“Fuck…your mouth feels even fuckin’ better than I imagined.”
Moaning softly around his thick cock, you hollowed out your cheeks and opened your mouth as wide as you could to accommodate him, staring up at him with wide eyes. Billy’s lips were parted into an ‘o’ shape, breathless pants leaving him as he rocked his hips against your face in a steady rhythm. He looked like a god above you, and all you wanted was to bring him to his own knees. Billy wanted you to follow his orders, and you were determined to show him that you could be good when you wanted to be. You wanted to show him what he had been missing out on this whole time; what he could’ve had if he hadn’t been such an ass.
Shuffling forward a bit on your knees, you took Billy’s cock even deeper into your mouth, a surprised moan falling from his lips when his tip hit the back of your throat. Billy immediately stared down at you in shock, still gripping at your hair tightly by your roots.
“Oh fuck…fuck.”
You pushed forward until your nose was flush against Billy’s neatly trimmed pubic bone, holding him there in your throat for as long as you could before you started to bob your head quickly, swirling your tongue around his length and swallowing around his tip. Spit dribbled down your chin as you gagged on his cock, flicking your tongue over the sensitive slit of his tip as he retracted his hips. Billy was an absolute mess above you, moaning loudly at the way you deepthroated him, tugging roughly at your hair as he kept thrusting his hips against your face.
“Jesus fuckin’ Christ baby…fuck you know how to use that mouth. Knew you could, doll. Knew you could be my good girl.”
A hum of appreciation sounded in the back of your throat as you let your eyes flutter shut, enjoying the heavy feeling of Billy’s velvety soft cock sliding against your tongue. Your thighs were practically sticking together from the mess between them. You loved the way Billy roughly tugged at your hair, and the juxtaposition of his filthy praise mixed with the degrading way he fucked your face. You let your mind wander to just how rough he could get, and you felt yourself clenching around nothing from the excitement. 
You had always thought Billy’s power transcended into the bedroom, and maybe that’s why you found yourself attracted to him. Billy was tenacious, never took no for an answer, and always did whatever it took to get his way. He was dominant in every sense of the word, and you secretly had always wanted to fuck a man like him. A man that would bend you to his will, and then fuck you past it. Your hand snuck between your thighs of its own accord, desperately searching for some kind of relief as you slipped your fingers past your soaked panties. Billy groaned loudly above you at the sight.
“Holy shit, are you touchin’ yourself?”
A soft whine was muffled by Billy’s cock still slipping in and out of your mouth, and his other hand suddenly came down to grip your jaw forcefully.
“Look at me.”
Your eyes instantly flew open, a fresh wave of arousal coating your thighs at the dark look in Billy’s eyes and the sinister smirk on his lips.
“Did I say you could touch yourself? Don’t be fuckin’ greedy. What did I tell you, huh? Make me come down that pretty throat, and maybe I’ll fuck you.”
Reluctantly pulling your hand away, you kept your eyes locked on Billy’s as you started to move your head faster, whining around his length as you gripped onto his thighs tightly. 
“That’s it, look up at me with those pretty eyes while I fuck your mouth. That’s a good fuckin’ girl. Gonna let me come down that pretty throat?”
Nodding your head furiously, you alternated between sucking fervently on the head of Billy’s cock and taking him as far down your throat as you could manage. Billy threw his head back above you, his thrusts getting sloppier the closer he got to the edge, heavy pants of your name and various swears falling from his sinful lips. He held onto the back of your head tightly to keep you in place as he came with a loud shout, spilling wave after wave of warmth down the back of your throat that you swallowed as quickly as you could. Billy stumbled backwards slightly, leaving you gasping for breath as his cock slipped out of your mouth, staring up at him through blurry vision from tears that threatened to slip past your eyes.
Billy let out a dark chuckle as he started down at you, panting breathlessly as he leaned back against your dresser to compose himself.
“Goddamn, baby. If I had known you could do that, I woulda had you under my desk this whole fuckin’ time.”
You had never gotten particularly turned on by dirty talk before, or maybe your previous partners just weren’t good at it, but every sinful word that slipped past Billy’s lips went straight to your core and you whimpered softly. He cocked his head to the side slightly as he stared down at you, arching one of his dark brows as a smug smirk tugged at his mouth.
“Look at you, on your knees like a pathetic whore. Couldn’t even help touchin’ yourself when you took my cock down your throat. Not such a fuckin’ brat now, are ya?”
“Billy-”
“You want me to fuck you, don’t you?”
“God yes.”
“Beg me. Stay on your knees, and beg.”
“Please.”
“Ah, c’mon. You can do better than that. You were runnin’ that fuckin’ mouth just fifteen minutes ago. Why should I give you what you want when you’ve been such a pain in my fuckin’ ass, huh?”
A needy whine slipped past your lips as you gripped furiously onto the hem of your dress that had ridden up your thighs, feeling frustrated by Billy’s cruelty and overwhelmed by the desire throbbing at the apex of your thighs. The tie around your wrists was starting to bite into your skin from how hard you were tugging at it. 
“Please, Billy. I was good…I did what you asked. Please, I’m sorry. Let me make up for it, please. I need you to touch me…need it so bad, Billy. Please just touch me…please.”
You didn’t care how pathetic and desperate you sounded. You didn’t care that he could see the tears threatening to spill from how overwhelmed you were. You didn’t care that he had won this little battle of who could be more defiant. Your pride had completely gone out the window the second he had wrapped his hand around your throat. 
“Stand up. Now.”
You pushed yourself up with your bound hands as best as you could, knees feeling somewhat wobbly from how turned on you were. Billy made a motion with his finger for you to turn around, and you squeezed your eyes shut as you followed his silent order with a soft whimper.
“Bend over.”
You heard a light rustling of fabric behind you as you leaned over your bed slightly, grasping your comforter in your nimble fingers. The sound of Billy’s belt hitting your floor made your ears perk up, and you instinctively arched your back even more, wiggling your ass ever so slightly. The warmth of Billy’s hands suddenly on the back of your thighs caused you to jump, and he snickered lowly as he agonizingly pushed your dress up past your hips slowly. A deep groan resonated in his throat behind you, and you shuddered at the sound.
“Fuck, baby. Look at you. Got these panties fuckin’ soaked all the way through. You liked suckin’ my cock that much?”
“Yes.”
Billy delicately pushed the fabric aside, revealing your glistening cunt to him, and you shivered as the cool air made contact with your slicked folds. He lightly brushed his middle finger experimentally up and down your lips, humming in content behind you as you pushed your hips back against his hand for more. His other hand suddenly came down in a harsh slap against your ass, jolting you forward as you cried out in a mixture of pain and pleasure.
“Told you not to be fuckin’ greedy.”
Billy’s palm print stung against your ass, but the way he slowly outlined your clit with his index finger had you nearly on the verge of combusting.
“God…Billy…please…” 
You could feel the warm, toned muscle of Billy’s stomach against your ass, and the blunt head of his hard cock brushing against your inner thigh. He hooked his thumbs in the waistband of your panties to lazily tug them down your thighs, slipping them off to stuff into his pocket. 
“Always wanted to bend you over and fuck you in this dress. It’s my favorite.”
Billy gripped your ass in one of his large hands, kneading the flesh in his fingers as he slipped his index finger into your pussy, sucking in a deep breath loudly behind you as you moaned loudly.
“Goddamn you’re fuckin’ tight. No one’s fucked this pretty cunt properly, huh? No wonder you’re so bitchy all the time. Bet no one’s even made you come from fuckin’ you.”
Heat flushed into your cheeks at Billy’s words. The way he spoke to you should piss you off, and if you were level-headed, it probably would warrant your handprint being painted across his pretty face. But instead, all it did was make you want him more. You were slightly embarrassed that Billy was right. No other guy you’d been with had been able to get you off during sex. You always had to finish yourself off afterwards, which was frustrating. Billy grabbed a fistful of your hair and yanked you backwards so hard, you cried out as the back of your head was now flush against his chest and his mouth was right by your ear.
“I asked you a question, doll. I expect an answer.”
“N-No. No Billy…no one…fuck…no one has. Have to…God, have to take care of myself.”
You were nearly breathless just from Billy slowly pumping one of his fingers inside of you. He made a sound of disapproval in the back of his throat, lightly nipping at your jaw as his thumb quickly ghosted over your clit.
“My poor girl. That’s just fuckin’ criminal. You’ve got the prettiest pussy, baby. Bet it tastes so fuckin’ sweet. Let’s see.”
A loud whine slipped past your lips when Billy withdrew his finger from you, gripping onto your jaw to make you watch as he licked your wetness off his index and middle fingers, eyes fluttering shut as he moaned at the taste.
“It’s really too bad you were bein’ such a fuckin’ brat earlier, cause I’d like nothin’ more than to bury my face in that sweet cunt until you were beggin’ me to stop. Maybe next time, doll.”
Billy let go of your hair as he pressed his palm flat against your back between your shoulder blades, shoving you roughly face down into the mattress as he climbed onto your bed behind you. He reached underneath your stomach to unravel the tie from your wrists, only to drag your arms behind you to bind them together again behind your back. Billy rubbed the head of his cock teasingly against your clit, chuckling darkly as you whimpered into your sheets.
“Should’ve behaved, doll. You earned this.”
Without warning, Billy pushed the blunt head of his cock past your entrance, sheathing himself completely inside you with one powerful thrust that sent your body forward. He didn’t give you any time to adjust to his size before he was gripping onto your waist hard enough to leave perfect indentations of his fingertips, pistoning into you from behind at a savage pace. Your entire bedroom was filled with the cacophony of your moans and pleas of Billy’s name, the sound of his hips repeatedly snapping against the back of your thighs, and the squelch of your soaked cunt swallowing his thick cock over and over and over.
Billy gripped onto your bound wrists, grunting lowly behind you and roughly smacking his hand over your ass as he fucked you relentlessly into your mattress. 
“This is all you needed, isn’t it? Just needed someone to fuck that goddamn attitude out of you, huh?”
You couldn’t form a single coherent thought. You couldn’t grab onto anything to hang onto. You couldn’t do anything except take everything Billy was giving you, and you loved it. 
“C’mon pretty girl, don’t tell me I’ve fucked you stupid already.”
“I…I…Billy…”
Billy let go of your waist to lean over you, resting his bodyweight entirely on top of you as he pressed his chest flush to your back. There was something comforting about the weight and warmth of his body caging you in completely as his cock dragged deliciously along your walls, and it nearly made your eyes roll into the back of your head. His hand wrapped around your throat tightly once again, lifting your head up slightly as he sucked at the spot just below your ear, grunting lowly and nipping at your jaw. 
“This is what you wanted, isn’t it baby? Wanted me to fuck you like this?”
You couldn’t speak. All you could do was nod feebly as you whimpered, reveling in the sensation of his fingers tightening around your throat.
“Wanted me to treat this pretty pussy right? Make you come around my cock?”
A louder whine fell past your lips as you squeezed your eyes shut, and Billy groaned loudly in your ear as your walls clenched tightly around him.
“Then fucking take it. Take my cock and show me what a good girl you can be. Show me you can listen, c’mon. Wanna feel that pussy drip onto my balls when you come. Show me, baby.”
You couldn’t take it anymore. It was all too overwhelming. Billy pressed his fingers against your jaw to turn your head, capturing your lips in a sloppy, passionate kiss as he angled his hips to reach a further depth within you, sending you crashing into your orgasm with a sharp cry of his name. He was everywhere. The steady feeling of his hand around your throat and his arm around your waist kept you upright as your knees gave out. The scent of his cologne had you slipping further and further into another plane of existence as stars danced behind your eyes. The low, velvet timber of his voice sounded lightyears away in your ears as he praised you, telling you how proud of you he was, beaming about what a good girl you were for him. He continued to fuck into you brutally as he chased his own high, spilling into you with a loud moan of your name, trapping your body beneath his as you both collapsed onto your bed.
You weren’t sure how much time had passed as you slowly descended back to Earth, but as your vision started to become clear again, you noticed that Billy was laying on his back with one arm propped behind his head, and he had pulled you onto his chest. His fingers were slowly carding through your hair as he watched you, the edge of his mouth curling upwards when your eyes finally met his. 
“There she is.”
Blinking slowly a few times, you stared up at Billy in a trance, your entire body simultaneously feeling weightless and heavy all at once. The satisfied smirk toying at the edge of his mouth had a rush of embarrassment coating your cheeks a deep shade of blush.
“Hi.”
“Hi pretty girl.”
Billy’s lips parted into a soft grin, and the warmth and intimacy of it had you hiding your face into his chest. He chuckled as he moved his hand to cup your cheek, gently lifting your jaw to get you to look at him.
“You alright?”
Anxiously nibbling at your bottom lip, you nodded your head slowly as you stared at him. The grin on his mouth languidly melted into something softer, and his eyes morphed into a more serious expression.
“You sure? Wasn’t too much, was it?”
“No…no it…it wasn’t.”
Billy stared into your eyes silently for a moment, searching for anything that would indicate you weren’t telling the truth. His lips fell somewhat into a frown as he stroked his thumb along your cheekbone.
“You really found a new job?”
“No.”
Billy paused his movements, arching one of his brows as his eyes narrowed slightly.
“You lied to me?”
“I was mad at you.”
Billy let out a deep exhale through his nose as he closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head slowly.
“Woman, you’re gonna send me into an early goddamn grave.”
You couldn’t help but giggle at the exasperated look on Billy’s face, and his eyes immediately flew open as he stared at you incredulously.
“Oh that’s funny, huh?”
“No! I mean…kinda.”
Billy narrowed his eyes again as your lips pulled into a playful smile. He let out another deep exhale of annoyance dramatically, causing you to giggle before his lips pulled into a timid smile.
“So you’re not quittin’ then?”
“Unfortunately, no. My boss is kind of a dick, but he pays really well. He also gives mind blowing orgasms, so there’s that.”
Billy’s mouth split into the widest grin as he leaned in, brushing his nose gently against yours before pressing his lips to yours in a soft kiss. Your heart suddenly started to race as the severity of what just happened began to sink in. 
You had just fucked your boss, and you weren’t sure what this meant moving forward. You weren’t sure if Billy actually liked you, or if he just wanted to fuck you. You also felt a lingering cloud of confusion looming over your head. Sex with Billy was incredible, and you definitely wanted more of it, but the way he was being so gentle with you made your head spin and reignited the ember of a crush you’d developed when you first started at Anvil. 
But you weren’t sure if you could be with Billy. Ethical reasons aside, he was always so hot and cold with you, and the two of you argued about almost everything. Now you couldn’t tell if that was just due to the tension that had been thick between the two of you, or if you were just really that incompatible.
“Stop thinkin’ so hard.”
“What?”
“I can practically hear what’s goin’ on in your head right now.”
“No you can’t.”
Billy sighed as he pulled back to look at you, tilting his head to the side as he gave you a pointed look.
“We already back to this? Can’t we just enjoy the moment?”
“For how long, Billy?”
Billy’s brows furrowed slightly as he picked up on the vulnerability laced within your voice, sitting up a little to move closer to you as he wet his lips with his tongue.
“How long you want to?”
Billy stared at you silently as he waited for an answer. Your mind was a whirlwind of doubt and worst possible case scenarios, and you were struggling to find the silver lining.
“You’re my boss, Billy.”
“That’s not what I asked.”
“Do you even like me?”
“You’re jokin’, right?”
“No, Billy I’m not. Sometimes I genuinely can’t tell. Half the time I feel like you despise me.”
Billy dragged his palm down his face as he sat up fully, gesturing for you to sit up so he could take one of your hands to lace with his own.
“Baby, I mean this sincerely, you are an absolute pain in my ass. You get on my nerves more than anyone I’ve ever met in my life-”
“Billy-”
“I’m not finished. But, I don’t mind. Because you’re the only person brave enough to challenge me, to give me pushback when you feel like somethin’ ain’t right-”
“I thought you hated that-”
“My God woman, will you please shut up and let me talk?”
A scowl formed on your lips as you pulled your hand away from Billy’s briskly and crossed your arms over your chest. He let out a deep sigh as he cocked his head to stare at you, shaking his head with a light smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“You’re a goddamn handful, but you’re mine. I like that you challenge me. I like that you argue with me. I like that you call me out on my shit. I need someone like that. I need you. I meant what I said earlier. I do think you’re fuckin’ impressive, and incredibly smart, and I don’t wanna see you go. Not just cause I’m selfish, but also cause you’re a valuable asset to my company. You’re damn good at your job, and you make me better at mine. I’m sorry I’ve been such a dick lately, but in my defense, you bring that out in me. And I’m sorry if I hurt your feelin’s earlier, I wasn’t tryin’ to. I just fuckin’ hated the way he kept starin’ at you. And when he said that to you, I lost it. You may not like how I handle things, but I am always gonna protect you and come to your defense. You understand?”
Billy’s heartfelt confession thawed the icy resentment that you had been feeling towards him, and you felt warmth bloom within your ribcage. You didn’t even know what to say to him. Swallowing thickly, you gave a slight nod of your head as you stared at him doe-eyed, not trusting your own voice to respond. Billy chuckled lightly as he shook his head, clicking his tongue against his cheek.
“So fuckin’ you and pourin’ my heart out to you is how I shut you up, huh?”
Rolling your eyes, you shoved at his chest as you scoffed.
“God, sometimes you ruin everything whenever you open your mouth.”
Billy suddenly pushed you onto your back, tearing a surprised gasp from your mouth as he held your hands captive above your head and peered down at you with lust once again clouding his eyes.
“Why don’t you let me fix it with my mouth, then.”
Billy positioned his knee between your thighs to nudge them apart, staring down at you hungrily as he leaned down to nip lightly at your bottom lip.
“Billy…”
A wicked smirk curled at the corner of his mouth at the breathy tone of your voice, pulling back slightly as you chased his mouth with a soft whine.
“Yes, baby?”
“How…what…I don’t-”
“Shh shh shh, we can figure that out later. Right now, I’m in the mood for something sweet.”

a tuppence for your bi4bi Clois thoughts 🪙... I'm luv them so much and I'd love to hear if you have any specific headcanons about them 🥺
YESSSS!!! i DO have some thoughts. i love them,
generally i think lois has her bisexuality figured out by the time she's in her mid-20s. she and cat grant have had some rage-filled makeouts on at least one occasion, but an actual relationship would never in a million years work out between them. they respect each other but do not see eye to eye nearly enough. she never bothered to come out to her father, but just knows it's one more thing about her that he'd hate.
clark, by contrast, does Not have it figured out. he has spent his entire life repressing every single thought, feeling, and ability that set him apart from the classic good all-american boy because he had to fit in. and being superman, exploring his kryptonian heritage, etc., has helped, of course, but he is still. so repressed. he has no idea that he's ever experienced attraction to guys before. he's got some internalized homophobia to work through, about himself. He Has To Be Normal. so as far as he's concerned, there was lana, and then there was lois.
to me, clark's journey toward self-acceptance is very intrinsically tied to his family. there's kara, talking about how sexuality and gender stuff on krypton wasn't like it is on earth, especially in western culture. there's kon, suffering through his own repression and depression and trying to pretend he's fine. there's chris and jon, both too young to fully grasp it all (probably), who make clark incredibly aware of every step he makes in terms of parenting them.
so one day, after kon's finally come out to the family, and kara's muddled through trying to figure out earth labels that she's comfortable with, the two of them decide they wanna go to pride, and ask lois and clark if they want to make it a family affair. lois says hell yeah, and clark says yes of course he's happy to support them! and jon says YAY, GLITTER!! CAN I GET STICKERS? and chris says if you get glitter all over my nintendo ds again i will punt you into the ocean, baby brother or not.
and there's just this innocuous moment while they're out when kon goes "here i got you these!" and hands lois and clark two simple lil heart-shaped bi flag buttons. and lois is like aw thanks squirt! and ruffles kon's hair. clark meanwhile goes oh i think there's been a misunderstanding... ... . . . .. . .. .. . or. has there?
and that night he's just sitting on the edge of the bed holding this tiny like $3 button in his hands having a whole crisis. lois hooks her chin over his shoulder and asks what's wrong? and he's like. lois i'm not. i'm. except maybe i'm not not. but i don't know, i thought i... i never thought i could think about it. clark kent is supposed to be normal. i... i'm already an alien, lois, i thought i was already set apart enough, and if i'm... if i'm this, even when i'm clark, not superman, then... then...
and lois digs her matching little $3 bi flag heart button out of her purse and bumps it against his and says, even if you are queer, you're still not alone. and then clark gives her the patented kent family big soft puppy-dog eyes. that night, he falls asleep in her arms with his head tucked snugly under her chin. it's where he feels safest.
but the next year, he lets kara get him a flag, and lets kon tie it around his shoulders like a cape. and he's here as clark kent, but it's kind of funny when he looks at his shadow. because he might not be superman right now, but the silhouette still looks the same.

" pride and the patriarchy killed him, and has been killing him for a long time" this is a very interesting interpretation of his character could you elaborate more ?
Mhm, I can try. Disclaimer this is all my take on the books and how I fill in the blanks for Aegon. I often make no secret to friends that I think King's Landing is a shithole. Now this is an extreme statement to start it with, but when I say Aegon is the product of his environment, this very much relates. From the moment he is born he is designated to be the son who should sit the Throne, by his maternal family and plenty of Green lords fitting into it. He learns he should be in power, in some capacity, and this is pride that he is goomed to believe in by the patriarchy too. But he withers and grows sullen, when this fact he was drilled to believe in is dismantled for his sister. The Greens at court see Rhaenyra still continuing to be heir in disdain, and Aegon suddenly grows to believe that actually, there is something wrong with him, my dad doesn't like me, my dad doesn't care about me or my mother - because frankly in a world where the majority of the continent goes by male progemiture, he feels singled out. It makes him falter. He watches Viserys putting Jace on his lap on the Throne, telling him he'd be king one day - and with the stigma of bastardy, the fact Viserys chooses Jace over him hurts him further. Viserys marries him off to Helaena, and later on he realizes even for his children (who are immediately labeled upon birth lesser than expected of Targaryen prince and princess, in the history books) he won't be able to give them something to inherit either, though people (read: patriarchy) told him he should have like whole 6 Kingdoms to give to Jaehaerys. He rages and is more absent and seeks control elsewhere (in sexuality for example, he spirals). Everything's eating at him and it is in fact his pride speaking, out of what he was groomed to believe. And then there is a push for him to be crowned when Viserys dies, and he takes it after tussling with himself. He knows his father said this is his sister's throne, but people once more remind him of the standards of the time, remind him that other people wouldn't accept Rhaenyra. It would hurt him, it would hurt his brothers; his sons. (Mind you, here he has a reasonable fear. Still cemented in the patriarchial society they are all locked in, but it's a reasonable fear). He is pushed to take the crown, by those who crowed around him since he was young he should be king, he should be proud, he should be everything. No matter what, he's in line to be slaughtered here. And then everything falls around him. Jaehaerys dies. He gets completely burnt and broken. Maelor dies. Helaena kills herself. Aemond dies, Daeron dies. Sunfyre dies. He is dying, living on painkillers. His pride and hatred are the only things keeping him going. He is a dead and mad man by now, and his trajectory was set from the start. And even when he clings onto his pride, standing last among his siblings as king, the new council of men around him, kill him off with poison. And one could say he was poisoned from the very beginning, from the moment he was born, made to sit the throne only to be stabbed by it. Because it was for him, but never for him. because he could've learned to be a better king, but he wasn't raised from it beyond what people told him. Poisoned, from the very beginning, by misogyny that prevailed since Jaehaerys I and before. so tl;dr: the kid was collateral; he was born to die, in his circumstances.

THE OBEY ME BROTHERS WITH A MC WHO'S A PROFESSIONAL ASSASSIN
(I was able to recover up to Satan, the other three brothers are all new)
Lucifer:
When your resume said that you were a professional assassin he thought you would be intimidating, cold and serious.
He quickly realized he had thought wrong, as when you came all he saw was a noisy person who couldn't keep their nose on their own business.
He honestly thought he may have read the wrong paper, or that the wrong human had been called.
Lucifer also underestimated you, yes, you may be dangerous, but how dangerous could you possibly be against a demon?
This question would be answered, just as Belphegor's hands tried and reached around your neck.
In a quick, instinctive movement you were able to throw him on the floor. Even with his demon strenght, he was no match against your defense skills (although you later admit that the shocked you sent him into probably helped)
After that, Lucifer wouldn't worry as much to leave you out of sight, but to raise his ego, let him protect you!
Mammon:
Absolutely refused to believe a human could be so dangerous.
Yeah, humans were known to kill eachother, but c'mon, you totally didn't look the part!
Not only you didn't look like one, you also didn't act like one.
He would see the extent of your abilities when his usual troubles followed him on your date.
A quite terrifying which was in front of Mammon, quite angered and ready to strike-
Mammon was about to show off, after all, he wanted to impress his human!
But you didn't give him a chance, a quick punch to the nose and the witch fell to the floor unconscious.
He is literally speechless, he only snaps out of it when you hold his hand worried, then the biggest grin you've ever seen forms on his face, and he declares you the most badass human!
WILL use you to intimidate all who bother him, you're now Mammon's personal bodyguard.
Leviathan:
Your strenght and abilities as an assassin would be quickly discovered.
TSL competition, you know how it goes, in a fit of jealously and rage, Leviathan goes to deal a fatal blow.
Too bad, he didn't consider the fact that you wouldn't retreat and instead, would run torwards him.
A moment of shock was all it took for you to grab him by his pseudojacket, and throw him in the air.
While he was there, he thought "What?!, how does a human have so much strenght?! That shouldn't be able to happen!"
Once he reached the floor (which didn't took that long) his shocked was subdued, filled by a deep feeling of shame, how could he just loose to a human in front of his brothers AND Diavolo?!
Goes straight to his room, it will take a while for him to soften up, but once he does, he will compliment you always. Expect a lot of questions about your job (and Leviathan infodumping about fictional assassins)
Satan:
He prides himself in always being logical, though, he makes an exception with your work.
Can't wrap his head around you hurting someone, even less killing them.
Of course, this was before that little incident of you refusing to make a pact with him.
Full of rage at your response, he spew a bunch of hurtful words and threats.
Threats that made something click inside of you.
The moment he went to grab your arm, a quick maneuver changed your positions, now, he found himself facing one of his bookshelves, taste of paper in his mouth because of the brute force of your movements.
After the shock, he saw red, thankfully Lucifer came in and the body swap happened.
Once the whole body swap deal is over, he is extremely interested in your work and has many questions.
How did you get started? For what reasons? Similar to Leviathan, he show you his favorite book assassins and asks if their portrayals are accurate.
Asmodeous:
He was actually interested in knowing your lore and about how you became an assassin, mostly because he likes gossip.
He also wanted to know how strong you were, and see how your muscles bulged.
Thankfully for him the opportunity to see your strenght in action would arrive soon.
You both were on a date, buying cute clothes for eachother to show off on Devilgram when all of sudden a few fans of Asmo come in and spot him.
At first, it all seems fine. They ask to take some pictures and start chatting with him.
But this is your date, and as so, Asmodeous politely excuses himself.
The fans leave except one insistent demon, who grabs Asmo's tightly.
Before he could say anything however, you grabbed the demons arm, twisted it and pushed him to the floor, putting all of your weight onto him.
After the whole ordeal was done, he hugged you tightly and fangirled severely.
You're gonna become a bodyguard for two now!
Beelzebub:
It all started with food, as it tends to do with Beelzebub.
Sadly for everyone in the house, he woke up cranky and on top of that, someone dared to eat his food.
As he searched for the culprit, which he quickly found (Mammon) he was ready to blow up on him.
But you got in the way, you tried to calm Beelzebub, but there was not calming the beast once it was bothered.
As he went to put his hand on your shoulder to make himself way to Mammon, you grabbed his arm with all your strenght, pushed him backwards, then slid that arm upon his back and pushed him once again this time on the floor.
This seemed to make him regain his senses a little bit, while making everybody watching you absolutely shocked.
Lucifer quickly went to the living room, where everything was happening and harshly reprimended both you and Beel, while stringing Mammon to the ceiling.
Once you make a pact with Beelzebub, he asks what type of training you do, and if you ever need help with anything.
You both become training buddies. Of course, he is still way stronger than you, but that doesn't mean you can't try and do your best to become stronger.
Belphegor:
The attic. That's where you were going to discover what had happened and how Belphie had been able to get out with just 6 pacts.
You found the door of the room to be open, and once you entered, an oppressive force could be felt all through the room.
You wait, and you hear a step, you feel it all around your body, someone is stalking you.
He jumps at you, going straight for your neck. But you're fast, so you move right in time for him to fall in front of you.
Quickly, you kick him hard in the guts, and as he bends over in pain, you punch him straight in the face, making him fall over.
He didn't have time to regain his strenght, just as he was to attack again, Lucifer and the others ran upstairs to see what was all the ruckus.
When the whole deal about Lilith is said and done, you apologize to him. Which felt strange, as he felt as if he should be the one apologizing, werent for your quick reflexes you would be dead.
English is not my first language, so please excuse me for any mistakes I may have made!

Idk if this has been talked about before but do you think Hordak and Wrong Hordak are kind of parallels to catra and adora? Adora and WH both fully believed the hoard was truly good, and only defected when they realized it was a lie. Their values never changed, their realities did. Catra and Hordak both seemed to know the hoard was actually pretty evil, but didn't care. They both had there own reasons to rebel in the end, personal pride and whatnot, but mostly it was their love for adora and entrapta that pushed them to change sides.
Yes, I absolutely do.
Wrong Hordak even has a scene where he's petting a horse for the first time, just like Adora!!! And they both have this sort of existential crisis.
They both believed they were honorable missionaries of the Horde, that the Horde was perfect. Whether it was Adora believing the Horde were victims of rebel insurgents, or Wrong Hordak believing that Prime was the smartest and most merciful man in the universe. Sweary Shera amps this up to 11 with their Wrong Hordak having heard a bunch of lies about gay people, kind of like how Adora heard a bunch of lies about princesses (also gay people).
With Catra and Hordak, it's more like... okay, yeah, they were ALSO brought up in these cults. And I would actually say that Hordak was far more "brainwashed" than Catra, because to begin with Hordak fully believed in the hype of Prime, at least for a while. He was cast aside as a defect, and knew of the violence of the Horde, but still believed in his creator's perfection, unlike Catra, who knew from the start that Weaver was full of shit and realised over time that Hordak was too.
I'd say though that both of them were SCARED of their masters, and were trying to get their approval, to sort of... prove that they were wrong about them. Because the little voice Prime and Weaver put in their heads says "You are wrong, you are a failure", and they need to silence that in order to function. This is why Catra never defected, she needed to prove herself in the system and Weaver would "win" if she quit, and this is why Hordak scrambled to Prime's feet once he arrived.
But something changed over time. The versions of Hordak and Catra we get at the end of Season 4, their hearts aren't in it anymore. All of their actions across S4 are driven by different motivations to before.
For Hordak, his motivation actually flips over - He hardly gives a shit about reuniting with Prime anymore! What he wants to do is prove to Entrapta that she was wrong for leaving him behind, and prove to himself that he isn't a worthless piece of shit failure like everyone thinks he is. Hordak goes from a sheltered scientist to leading the army on the front lines, embracing the violence of a warlord and sort of making a name for himself rather than hiding behind the rest of the Horde. He's in the state of mind Catra was in the previous seasons!!!
For Catra, her motivation... well, it ends. We saw the fire and rage from her in the previous season where she was so determined to prove herself that she ended the world, and this is a Catra who has to deal with the consequences of that. She realises that she has very little left in her life and she tries to cling onto those ideas, even to bond with Hordak despite everything he's done to her, and she goes through the ten stages of grief, ending up on Prime's doorstep as having... started to think about what it is she really wants. Like, she sees Glimmer fuck up big time but try to fix it anyway, she goes "You can do that???", and I think Catra starts to accept she still cares about people, she cares about Adora and even Glimmer and Hordak. She's a character filled with so much empathy who tries to crush it dry.
Hordak and Catra both get the "death and rebirth" in the final season, after their "rebirth" they become more introspective with all the rage tempered or gone. Hordak, in close proximity to Prime, starts to see how truly weak the man is, and how hollow his version of "Love" is, especially compared to the sheer strength of heart he sees from Entrapta. And Catra, in "Save the Cat", are their bare selves, all notions of hero vs villain stripped away, just those two girls who grew up together trying to survive. Catra afterwards still has the final strips of her mask that she claws onto, but she lets them flutter away.
Wrong Hordak and Adora "had it easier" when it came to defecting because they were entrenched in the false values of their system, and just applied those values to their new situation. Whereas Catra and Hordak had to develop new values from the ground up, since the whole time all they were made to care about was whether they were on the good side of the person in charge, because if they werent, they were going to get the Stick.

The Sun And The Moon.
Tumblr media
Chapter 1 - A Filthy Man
Divyanshi was just a normal 22 year old girl. Her life was pretty boring but the only thing she liked about it was that she was studying what she actually wanted to study, Psychology. She was pursuing her dreams in The Delhi University studying Psychology.
Living in Noida, she had to travel everyday by metro which was another unsafe place for her and several other women. Gathering all the courage she stepped in hoping that she won't she won't get in any 'trouble'. The definition of 'trouble' in her dictionary was 'getting harrassed by a man' which was so common that it was being ignored in the past few months. A few weeks before the day, her classmate was touched wrongly, in a manner which should've been punished but the man who was the culprit was released because 'a bad touch' couldn't be proven.
She hated standing in a metro filled with people with sweaty armpits and it was so unfortunate of her that she had a sweaty armpit just infront of her face, and as if that wasn't it, there was an infant crying uncontrollably just beside her, an elderly man who couldn't stop coughing on the other side and a filthy man who couldn't stop falling on her; behind her. Her breath fasten and her heartbeat even more, she could not bear the torture. She had enough, if it was a mistake she would've easily forgive the man but he was purposely falling on her, touching her constantly. She turned around and pushed him back.
"Are you blind? Can't you see so much space? Go stand there! Not close to me." she raged.
"Oh madam! Who are you to blame me? It's not my fall that I fell on you. You are being so dramatic." the man grinned.
She felt the sudden urge to scratch his face with her long nails and bang his head on the pole beside her. His grin which was as filthy as a gaze of a hyena looking at its pray. She controlled herself and said, "You aren't to be blamed? You purposely fell on me, you fool! Not once! Not twice but this whole time since you've boarded!"
He scoffed. "The women these days!" He said with disgust, "You are provoking me by wearing this deep neck top! And you're blaming me?"
She stared at him for a minute, she couldn't process the shit he spoke. "Are you mad? What the hell is wrong with you?" She spoke.
The man silenced himself and stood behind her again, maintaing a small distance from her. She sighed and rolled her eyes, her station was near and she didn't want to ruin her day with what had happened. 'Any moment now!' she thought, 'I'll be free from this shitty person.' Her thoughts were interrupted when the man once again, not surprisingly fell on her and this time he touched her bare neck and pinched it.
Being extremely proud with himself, he didn't expect a 'jutti' to land on his face. His face was red and so were the eyes of the girl. She looked at him with rage, if looks could kill, he would've been ashes by now.
"This bitch!" He pushed her back, touching her inappropriately again. "Didn't you all see? What she did to me was unpunishable and you are ignoring this?" He asked the crowd, his cheek still hurting.
"What are you talking about, Bhai? It was nothing. I saw nothing." An elderly lady said.
"Yeah, humne kuch nahi dekha." Another said.
The metro had stopped and a chaos slowly formed. The man was making a huge scene. The staff was impatient, another metro was arriving in ten minutes.
"Sir, why don't you understand?" A man asked, "We have protocols! You can't hold this woman's hand and block the gates."
"No! This is the matter of a man's pride, his honour! She insulted me and assaulted me infront of the public." He gritted his teeth.
"Arrey Bhai, you need to calm down! You are being so dramatic!" Divyanshi smirked uncontrollably, she felt a strange happiness in her heart, "My god! You are so emotional! It was just a normal touch and how can you prove it? Tell me! Answer me! Do you have any prove that I smacked my sandal on your face? Your face doesn't have any marks of a sandal."
"What's happening?" An unknown voice was heard, it was deep and rough.
"She hit me!" The filthy man complaint.
"Oh did I though?" Divyanshi smiled.
"Both of you, follow me!" The unknown man said.
"I am sorry but why?" Divyanshi's smile dropped.
"Thane, we are going to thane. I am a cop." The cop said.
"Hey Ram!" She sighed.
~~~~~~~~
"Name?" The cop asked the filthy man.
"Mohan." He answered.
"Mohan what? Don't you have your baap's name or your mother forgot to tell you?" The cop said.
Divyanshi snickered, it was an awful day indeed but seeing Mohan being insulted brought her joy.
"Mohan Trivedi." He replied bitterly.
"Oh! So you are a Trivedi!" The cop noted it down. He also noted Trivedi's number and address.
"Your name, madam ji?" The cop asked.
"Divyanshi Thakur." She answered.
"So, Thakur Sahab what were doing in that metro?" The cop kept down the pen on the register and closed it. He sighed and rested his head on his hands.
"Sir, aren't you gonna ask him that question? He was the who harrassed me uncountably." Divyanshi said.
"Thakur Sahab ji, let me do my job and please co-operate. It will be easy for you." He said.
She clenched her jaw, sighed and formed a fake smile. "Sir, I travel from Noida to Delhi every other day for college and sometimes to visit my friends."
"Friends? You have a boyfriend?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Sir, that's not relevant." She said respectfully.
"Accha so, this man claims that you hit him. Do you agree?" He asked.
"I can only answer that question if this man answer my question." She said, "It's just one question and then I may answer you." The cop nodded, she turned to Trivedi. "You are being constantly stabbed, what will you do?"
"I will die, simple." He replied.
"Exactly! I felt the same feeling when you touched me. It felt like my heart was being stabbed but this was something that you can't understand, because this is not just physical we are talking about, it mental and emotional." She looked at the cop, "Yes, I hit him, I agree. The only reason was he touched me inappropriately."
"See! This woman agrees! She hit me!" Trivedi said.
"Madam ji, you may leave." A senior inspector entered the conversation, "I'll handle these two." She glared at the cop.
"Ma'am, it was an investigation. I had to ask questions." The cop looked down.
"Haan, investigation! We don't ask such questions in investigations." She scolded her junior.
"Thank you, ma'am." Divyanshi left the police station.
It was almost noon and she had missed her college. She planned to spend the rest of time in the market and leave before it's too late for her daily metro. Walking on the footpath was very normal but on the streets of Delhi, everything was a chaos. People were swearing at each other in a corner, a teenager was selling belts, a group of boys around her age chasing each other. She assumed them as visitors as she had never heard someone wear in a language other than Hindi and English on the streets of Delhi. She knew it was a curse by the intensity of it. She felt a sudden push and she fell infront of a car and the car drove over her.
~~~~~~~~~
She had a faint memory of the accident, the last thing she saw was a huge black Thar and the last thing she heard was 'Yeh toh gayi!'.
She slowly gained sight and saw green grass around her. She felt a cold breeze and she shivered. She sat on her knees observing her surroundings. It looked foreign. She wondered if she had short term memory loss and she had infact recovered and went to spend time with nature.
"It can't be a dream. It's reality. But how?" She stood up and saw a pond. She dipped her feet but saw a movement in the water, before she could move a large crocodile appeared before her. "Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!" She stepped back hastily and fell on her back.
"Hey, mitr. Don't do that. She didn't do anything to you." She heard a voice, the crocodile whined and went back in the water. "Good mitr."
She turned her head towards the voice. She saw a man not so much taller than her. He had dark skin but an unusual glow, his face was actually glowing. Well, not just his face, his entire body was glowing. She stared him in awe. He was dressed as a king. She noticed a peacock feather but ignored that detail.
"Thank you, sir but-" she was interrupted.
"Ah a 'but' follows!" The man sighed.
"But who are you and why are you dressed like this? What place is this?" She asked in a hurry.
The man sighed again and shook his head, "What about the promises you made me, sakhi? I thought you'd feed my favourite dish."

XXX. everything counts
Tumblr media
✘ Synopsis : what you thought had been nothing was more to him, it meant way more, but he knew he had fucked up by telling you that he loves you, but he meant it, he knew that he meant it. the fight that he had with Sunghoon and the words that Niki said had only silenced him for a moment, but seeing Jungwon with you had his blood boiling once more. was what happened really only done to fill a void for you or were you just hiding the feelings that you might have had for him?
✘ Pairing : ??? x F!Reader
✘ TW : jealousy ; possessiveness ; internal rage ; angry Heeseung ; confused reader ; Jungfused ; internal dilemma ; awkward tension ;
✘ Word Count : 1.2k
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
You had been with Jungwon the whole time. He shouldn’t care, he should just be happy that you’re back, that you’re alright, but he was livid. No… No, he was fucking furious, because after everything that happened last night, after everything that he went through for you in the morning, you still chose someone else over him. How he would have loved to run away with you, to escape the bullshit for just a moment, but instead you had gone with Jungwon and left him to deal with the hell.
He felt used, he felt like nothing more than a discarded piece of garbage. It wasn’t fair, and while he had felt bad for you for the longest time, he just couldn’t bring himself to feel that way for you anymore. You got to lock yourself in your room, you got to avoid everyone, the only time you even decided to show your face anymore was when you were so desperate for attention that you hooked them into some shit that would inevitably get them into a fight later on. They all did it though, they all willingly went with you because for some reason they all adored you.
Why did he love you? Why did he tell you that he loved you? Inside he knew that he had only done it because he felt like he needed to, like somehow it would get him ahead of the others, like he’d actually have a chance with you if he told you flat out. That wasn’t how it worked though, it just pushed you away. Was what happened really nothing to you? How could he still feel anything towards you when he knew that you used him the way you did?
Sunoo wasn’t wrong when he had yelled at you, but for some reason, Heeseung couldn’t help but feel a little bad for you. Why did he feel bad for you? It was stupid, he felt stupid, but he couldn’t get the feelings to stop. No matter what you did to him, no matter what you said or… didn’t say… You’d still mean more to him than he wanted you to. That’s why he got so mad at the younger member when he walked out of your room, beaming with pride as if he had done something wonderful.
Niki was already going off on him, there wasn’t much that Heeseung could do but sit back and watch, anger and confusion filling him as he half listened to the new argument that had just started, the other half of him listening to the internal argument he was having with himself.
Days had passed and you stayed locked up in your room, the only ones that you allowed in your room were Niki and Jungwon at this point and that had him more upset, although he wasn’t sure who he was more upset with. Why didn’t you love him back? Why couldn’t you see him the way he saw you? Why were you avoiding him? Why didn’t you want him around you? Why were you making it seem like he was the one who had done something wrong? God, he hated you, but he loved you, and he hated himself and he just wanted to be happy. Was that too much to ask for while the world was falling apart, just a glimmer of happiness? What had happened that night had been a dream come true and now all it felt like was a nightmare. He had been with you, but what was the point of it, how could he even be happy about it when you didn’t even want to see him anymore?
“You’re sulking again.” Jake mentioned as if Heeseung didn’t know exactly what he was doing. Of course he knew he was sulking. Why would he do anything but sulk right now? Was he supposed to be happy? “Just forget about it… Okay? There’s no point being upset over it. She’s not worth it.” Jake muttered, and Heeseung really wished that he could feel that way too, but Jake hadn’t been with you the way that he had, he hadn’t even been close to being with you that way, he didn’t understand the way that Heeseung felt, he never would.
“Sure…” Heeseung mumbled, moving off the couch to get away from Jake, moving to sit in the corner of the cabin, his head in his knees as he sighed loudly. “Can we just not talk about it though? Like… just shut up, please?” He didn’t want to hear about it, he didn’t want to hear about you right now, he just wanted everyone to be quiet. It was hard enough to get you out of his head as it was, but now everyone was coming at him, bringing you up and telling him not to worry about it as if it were the easiest thing to do.
It hadn’t even been a full week and everyone just expected him to get over it immediately. Maybe they could, although he was sure they really couldn’t, they acted as if this shouldn’t be such a big deal. “Look, I know that you’re upset or something for some reason…” Jake started, and Heeseung lifted his head from his knees, glaring at the younger man to try to get him to shut up, but he didn’t take the hint. “I just don’t know why you’re letting it get to you this much. I want my friend back.”
Heeseung nodded, although the motion was done just to get Jake to shut up to be honest. “Yeah, yeah I’ll be sure to be super happy tomorrow morning, sorry for inconveniencing you with my feelings, bud.” The attempt at being snappy sounded downright pitiful when he heard himself, and he could see the look of disappointment in Jakes eyes. “Can you not look at me like that? I don’t need your pity. I just want to be alone right now, can I be alone in my corner?”
Jake rolled his eyes, falling down onto the couch with his back turned towards his friend. “You sound like her. But sure, go sulk in your corner about a girl that’s been messing with all of us, I’m sure it’ll make you feel a lot better.” He mumbled, and even though Jake had a point, he hated the way he spoke about you. Heeseung wanted to believe that you didn’t do it on purpose, that you weren’t that type of person, that you were just hurting, those thoughts would give him reason to not feel so stupid for still loving you.
He had said too much too soon, that’s the only real reason that he could think of as to why you wouldn’t come to him, why you didn’t need him anymore. Telling you that he loved you had been too much, especially after all that you had been through, after everything that everyone else had put you through. Maybe you just looked at him like all the other guys who had foolishly confessed to you. Maybe all you needed was time, time away from him, time to calm down, maybe that’s what you needed to bring you back to him. He wouldn’t hound you like the others did, he wouldn’t chase after you, he would give you your space, and hopefully, hopefully you’d come to him when he least expected, and you’d tell him that you loved him too.

Izzy Brainrot, Part 5: neurospice
On the subject of masking:
It is, first and foremost, a survival instinct, to the point where it can be done subconsciously. We can see this “survival instinct” most obviously with Ed, because his personality is constantly in flux. He changes based on the social situation he’s in. Is there a “real” Edward Teach? To an extent, all of his various social masks are a part of him, but I think some are more authentic than others. Blackbeard, for example, is still very much a part of Ed. The Kraken, on the other hand, is very much a performance of unchecked violence – at the end of 1x10, we see Ed performing as the Kraken, then retiring to his quarters to sob his eyes out because he knows this isn’t him, not really. This performance is fucking him up and fucking him over and it’s devastating.
(Side note: in 1x10, Izzy says I serve Blackbeard and he gets the Kraken snipping off his toe for that. Was Izzy out of line? Undoubtedly. I’m not going to sympathize with him for being a dick. But, I do see Blackbeard and the Kraken as two separate entities. Blackbeard can run a ship with style and flair, but the Kraken rules with an iron fist and he’ll feed Izzy the rest of his toes if he mouths off again. Izzy wanted to serve Blackbeard, but he’s going to have to serve the Kraken until things get put right again.)
Izzy’s hypermasculine masking is also a survival instinct, probably developed very young and then affirmed through piracy, as I said. Ed reads as pretty damn neurodivergent to me (and many other fans here have said the same), as does Stede, to an extent – although I wonder how much of that is just him not knowing the social cues of piracy/being protected by gender & class privilege and not having the best grasp of the world outside his bubble. There’s a bit of a debate going on about Izzy being the unsympathetic neurotypical trying to keep Ed in line but CONSIDER:
Izzy is also neurodivergent.
Izzy who gets overstimulated during storms, who needs a routine to keep himself steady, who gets angry because it’s easier (and more socially acceptable, as a man and a pirate) than to be sad or afraid or whatever it is he’s actually feeling. Unlike Stede, who’s not afraid to cry or be openly afraid, to be as emotional as he needs to be in spite of all the childhood bullying, Izzy’s just angry, all the time. It’s a shield: if he believes his anger to be righteous and justified, he can be as emotional as he wants, in a socially acceptable masculine pirate-y fashion. The “oh my God” bit is hysterical, don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s really interesting how there are tears in Izzy’s eyes for a split second, then he checks himself and the final “oh my God” is filled with rage. Con O’Neill is really out here doing the most!! 
There is obviously a lot to be said about Izzy’s attraction towards Ed and Stede taking Ed away from Izzy. There’s a lot to be said about Izzy taking pride in his competence as a pirate and Stede cramping the vibe with his ship full of muppets. All of this is true but the big takeaway from this is that Stede Disrupted Izzy’s Routine. Plans Have Changed. Oh Fucking Fuck. To make matters worse, Stede is pulling Ed AND Fang AND Ivan into muppet-land so Izzy’s routine might as well be up in flames at this point and who’s steering the ship?
(Side story – a couple of months ago, my long-distance partner was visiting me and we were having a wonderful time being out and about until the bus schedule decided to betray us. We were supposed to go to a little get-together with some of my grad school friends but the bus was running late and therefore we weren’t going to make it to said get-together. I got super stressed about it and was totally thrown off and even though we made it back home and all that, there was still a shit-ton of anxiety that lingered. I was a mixture of anxious and frustrated and didn’t start feeling truly calm until a few hours later, after eating dinner and watching TV with my partner. We were able to salvage the evening – and grad school get-togethers are awkward as hell anyway, so we probably dodged a bullet – but I do not like it when my plans are thrown off, and am I projecting onto Izzy? Probably.) 
I was rewatching 1x02 and 1x03 the other day and Izzy is surprisingly chill (by Izzy standards, anyway) before Stede arrives. He’s doing typical pirate stuff with Fang and Ivan; everything’s going according to plan, but then Stede fucking Bonnet bests him and now Blackbeard’s all interested and – what? Izzy doesn’t want anything to do with this guy (oh EdWaRd, can’t I just send the BoYs) but Ed praises Izzy for getting things done Right and that’s that. Izzy’s always going to be rough around the edges, he’s always going to be a fighter, but Stede makes him truly pissed off. It doesn’t help that Stede’s a petty asshole to Izzy for reasons I can’t quite figure out yet. Could be anywhere from “Stede doesn’t like bullies” to “Stede wants to feel competent in front of this Real Pirate and so he’s overcompensating,” who knows? 
Stede, as the Gentleman Pirate, is 100% Stede. Stede’s openness, his authenticity, serves partly to highlight Izzy’s closed-off personality, the deep repression he’s putting himself through. Stede helps Ed learn to be softer, to take off some of his masks, but Ed doesn’t get rid of them, he still masks a ton when he’s in uncomfortable environments (see: the fancy party, which is all about ugly pageantry.) When he’s with Stede, though, Ed seems most himself. And Izzy’s still masked, because wearing the mask is all part of his own routine. Izzy thrives on routine and intricate rituals and I wonder who the man behind the mask is.

Hi! I hope you're having a good day/night/whatever :)
What's your favourite thing you've ever written?
hi! i did have a good day and i hope you did too! i’ve actually never really thought about it, i adore a lot of the stuff i write, but this possible beginning to Murders of Crow Creek is something that i consistently take pride in, if you’re interested in reading:
The air smelled of sulfur. The scent was thick, filling Lou’s nostrils and making her eyes water. The sun, orange and unrelenting, glared across the horizon at her. She glared back. A faint ringing filled her ears. Her chest was full of rage, a rage she could not pinpoint the origin of. All she knew was pain and anguish, and standing in the desert heat, glaring at the sun which in turn glared at her, she realized that pain and anguish were all she would ever know.
The smell of sulfur grew stronger. Lou rubbed her nose and took her hat off, keeping her eyes on the sun. She watched, and waited.
A noise squeezed its way through the ringing, wedging itself into her head, banging against her eardrums. The noise was more irritating than harmful, yet Lou could not stand it. She lowered her gaze to the ground.
A crow, scratching the cracked dirt below it and pecking at a small rock. The sound of its talons against the ground should have been minuscule. Lou should have barely heard it under the ringing in her ears; but every time this crow’s feet came down on the earth, Lou flinched. It was as if a drummer was standing right behind her, hitting his drum so ferociously he might break it.
The noise grew louder, and louder, until it was so loud Lou thought she might faint. All she could do was watch the crow with a strange, underlying feeling of dread.
Finally, the crow stopped. It looked up at Lou with a look in its black eyes. It was an expression Lou knew well: an accusatory glare, as if the one receiving it had done something drastically wrong.
What had Lou done wrong?
The crow opened its beak and screeched. Lou cried out, falling back. Her hands hit the dirt, the skin peeling from her palms. All she could hear was the crow’s cry of anger. She squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the noise to go away.
She just wanted it to go away.
——
Lou stared blankly at the paperwork on her desk. The sunlight, orange and soft, peeked through the window of the station, wrapping her in its warmth.
Lou had been startled awake by her dream that morning. She had been sure the vision had been just that: a vision. Yet her palms had been scratched and bloodied, like she had fallen and caught herself on her hands.
It was early.
Lou waved a hand dismissively at her paperwork and leaned back in her chair, stretching. She was too distracted to do any paperwork.
Lou pulled her pocket watch out. Quarter ‘til seven. She whistled, kicking her feet up and placing them on her desk.
The door to the sheriff’s station opened and Caroline Oakwood, Lou’s deputy, walked in. The heels of her boots clacked against the wooden boards as she crossed the room to her desk and sat down.
“Morning, Sheriff,” she sighed, placing her hat on her desk. Lou grumbled a greeting back to her, closing her eyes. Caroline peered over at Lou, raising an eyebrow. “Slept well, I assume?”
Lou gave her a certified Sheriff Wesley Side-Eye. She grabbed the stack of papers and walked to Caroline, slapping them down in front of her. “Some paperwork for you to do, Deputy.”
“I see,” Caroline scoffed. “Why don’t you rest for a while longer, Sheriff? I’m sure a woman of your age could use it.”
Lou stopped to look back at Caroline, who snorted, prompting Lou to laugh as well. The Sheriff sat down in her chair, kicking up her feet once more. She waved a hand. “Bah, you don’t have much room to talk, Oakwood.”
“That’s true.”
Caroline was only a few years younger than Lou, who was nearly fifty. They weren’t that old, but they both liked to joke with each other about ‘getting up there.’ Lou wasn’t sure what ‘up there’ was supposed to be, but she hadn’t reached it yet. She became a sheriff when she was twenty and she hadn’t stopped since.
Lou was quite fond of Caroline Oakwood. She was responsible and organized, traits that were hard to find in this town. She respected the law, and Lou respected that. Caroline was also the mayor’s sister. The Oakwood family was a loyal, highly respectable family in town; Caroline upheld a lot of expectations without crumbling under the pressure.
“What’d’ya think about these complaints?” Caroline asked, holding up a paper from her pile and straightening it with a flourish. She cleared her throat and began in a haughty voice, “‘I am reporting suspicious activity of my neighbor, whom I believe to be a worshipper of the Dark Gods and is —‘“
“If I hear anything from that old coot again it’ll be too damn soon,” Lou pulled her hat down over her face, groaning.
Caroline glanced up at her and grimaced. “From Pete again? Yeesh. Here, I’ll read more: ‘In my honest opinion, they’re all witches. I swear to Calandria that a group of them was dancing naked under the moonlight with their demon whores, and —‘“
A large black shape barreled through the window behind Caroline with a loud crash, sending the deputy out of her chair and across the room.
“Shit!”
“What in the name of —“
Lou stood, watching the bird fly around the room, her eyes narrowed. She began to take off her coat to trap the animal, but she could see the action would be unnecessary. The bird cried out weakly as it flew into the hat stand, knocking it over. The bird fell to the floor with a thud and twitched once, then lay still.
Lou and Caroline stared at the bird. Caroline chuckled nervously, looking up at Lou. “Well, that was certainly, uh, interesting, wasn’t it?”
Lou didn’t answer. Her eyes were still on the bird. She took a step closer. “Caroline, is that... Is that a crow?”
“I think so, Sheriff,” Caroline breathed. “Why?”
A feeling of dread prickled up Lou’s spine, like a finger slowly dragging itself across the length of a fine-toothed comb. She stared at the dead bird, searching its eyes for another condemning glare.
“Sheriff? Lou,” Caroline was suddenly at the Sheriff’s side, reaching out for her. “What is it?”
Lou shook her head. “Nothing. Stupid damn crows. Get that thing outta here.”
Caroline nodded, grabbing the broom from the corner and pushing the bird towards the door. She was only halfway there, however, when a man burst through the door, screaming for Lou.
“Sheriff! Sheriff Wesley!” It was one of Lou’s employees, a watchman for the town named Jack.
“Jack, kid, calm down!” Lou held her hands up, reaching for Jack. “What is it?”
The boy was out of breath. “You have... to come... hah, behind Tom’s...”
He doubled over, panting. Lou put a hand on his back and leaned down with him. “What? What is it, boy? Spit it out!”
Jack straightened, taking in a deep breath:
“Someone’s been murdered!”

Mmh, S4 AU where Emily can't stop going to prison to meet up with Nica, gets annoyed when Nica just doesn't rise to all her insults, then starts to use the visits as if Nica is a silent diary she can just rant to, and then one day she says something particularly awful and Nica is like "Emily. You're an horrible person. You're awful. You do awful things. And before you say it, yes, I know, It's not like I'm the best person either. I'm pretty down there with you, actually. (Nica, says Leon, no) But at least I know it. At least I'm trying to atone for all the mistakes I've made. You're just pushing and pushing as if that's going to make you feel better, as if you're going to be happy, eventually, but you're not. You're just going to be as miserable in the end, and you'll have no one left to care."
and Emily gapes at her, filled with rage and outrage, and she snaps: "How dare you! How dare you! I could make it so much worse for you, you know!"
but Nica is already sighing, eyes sad and tired and Emily wants to reach through the glass wall and makes her react more, so badly, but she won't give Nica the satisfaction! She won't! 'Cause Nica is wrong, damn it, Emily is doing what's NEEDED, she's doing IMPORTANT WORK, and Nica's words mean nothing, anyway, she knows that, nothing Nica says is allowed to MATTER-
(and then she's home and alone and bitter and Ethan's not here, Ethan's never here, and she. feels. so. lonely. She even misses that horrid little man, Oliver West. She hasn't really had brunch with her friends in more than a year by now, with all the politics and such, and they aren't that interested in Redline, even though they all bought condos for the excentricity of it.)
(and then it's a week later, and Ethan is sprouting some stupid wild nonsense about making Emily a robot so she can be happy again, as if Ethan has been caring about her happiness, as if he-)
(and then it's midnight and she's drunk and she's snapping at the prison guard that she'll have him arrested if he doesn't let her get to Nica in her cell, and Nica's groggy and sleepy and baffled and suddenly her arms are full of a weepy, angry Emily and all she can do is. Stare wide eyed at the walls and hug her. She says, slowly, more gently than last time, "It's not too late," encouragingly.)
('Emily knew this was absurd, of course,' murmurs the Narrator. 'But for once,' Leon cuts off, heart filled with pride for his sister, even though he wished she hadn't chose Emily as a fix-it project. 'She wanted to believe it might be true.')

Warnings: swearing, neglect, successful suicide attempt, death, insanity
(A/N): I had a little too much fun writing this
“I’ll help you.”
Tommy cheered and clapped a hand on your shoulder. Wilbur gave you a slightly manic smile, his plan is going to work out perfectly with you working with them. Techno merely grunted in acknowledgement. Something about your tone threw him for a loop, but he just summed it up to the voices and his growing trust issues. The voices were screaming at him not to trust you, that you were a traitor, that you’d betray them. But there’s no way his youngest sibling would ever betray them; they couldn’t hurt a fly. They were basically defenseless. 
Tubbo looked slightly hesitant to accept you as his spying partner, but he figured that you joining him would take most of the stress off from his shoulders. You were close to Schlatt, he basically treated you as if you were his own. He was slightly jealous at how close to his father you were when he, Schlatt’s biological son, was often standing in the same room as them. He knew that Schlatt was a shitty father and could never shape up to being as good of a father figure than Philza was to him, but he just couldn’t help but feel hurt at the fact that his own father, who abandoned him at the side of the road as a kid, so readily took on another kid that wasn’t himself. Despite his resentment towards you, he accepted having you as a partner. Maybe once he got to know you better you weren’t so bad. 
On the outside, you were giving your ‘brothers’ a sweet smile. Almost sickeningly sweet as you plastered it on your face to hide the resentment and hatred brewing inside of you threatening to escape and fill this ravine with it’s raging waves. They were never your brothers, always choosing to exclude you from everything they were doing. As a kid, you had nobody to rely on. Tommy had Tubbo and Wilbur had Techno and Philza. You were completely, utterly alone as a kid. 
You were always deprived of social interaction, always being told to ‘suck it up’, ‘quit whining’, and ‘just accept it’. You watched from the sidelines as your brothers received all the love and support from each other and Philza, and you were sick of being left out. Their proposal has made you finally reach your breaking point. You came to the realization that you were only going to get their support only when you were of use to them. 
Even as adults and as teenagers, they’re always acting like children. Whining over losing power, getting exiled, how ‘tyrannical’ every single government was, like get a grip. You brought this upon yourself. Manberg would be much better off without you two. Just accept leadership, it’s there to bring natural structure to society. This isn’t high school, stop overreacting. Oh, how you longed to scream in their faces, drop the happy, sweet, and defenseless facade you always wore. You were broken down by them, and you were going to be their downfall. You would make sure of it. At least, that’s what Schlatt promised you. 
You met Schlatt one day when you were alone in the forest far from the house you called home. It was dark out and you were hiding from the mobs that threatened to take one of your lives. He found you by following your whimpers, taking you back to his house and giving you shelter for a few days. He treated you like you were a person, an actual human being, and that made you realize that you weren’t alone in the world afterall. Philza and your brothers didn’t even notice that you were gone until after a week of staying with Schlatt. You remembered how Philza stormed into Schlatt’s house, grabbed you by the ear, apologized to Schlatt, and drug you home lecturing you the entire time. You were grounded for a month after that and banned from talking to Schlatt.
However, you still talked to Schlatt in secret. He eventually treated you like you were his own, showering you with the love and support that you were deprived of. You supposed you craved constant reassurance and kindness, and you chopped it up to how you were raised. You had trauma and Schlatt was there to fix that. He gave you constant support, something your ‘family’ has never done. Well, they did once when you finally broke and fell into a deep depression, never leaving your room. They didn’t notice that, but what they did notice was the death message that flashed across their comm tablets: “(Y/n) suffocated.”
When they ran to your room, they caught the last of the golden dust that used to be your body drifting into the atmosphere. In the center of your room hanging from an exposed pipe in the ceiling was a noose fashioned from an old rope they had noticed had gone missing a few weeks ago. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that you hung yourself. 
For a solid month after that, they treated you like they treated each other and you felt like you were soaring the entire time. Philza even told you that he loved you and that he was proud of you when you ate your first meal in a week!  All of the attention and support faded when they saw you smile more and laugh louder. You faded again into obscurity and all that came out of that successful suicide attempt was not your family’s unconditional love like you had hoped, but an ugly scar that wrapped around the entirety of your neck.  
You were going to fuck up their plans. They deserved it for ostracizing you all those years. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your and Schlatt’s plan was unfolding swimmingly. Your idiotic brothers had no clue of your betrayal and that always made you want to laugh hysterically, but you held it in until you got back to the White House. You would laugh in Schlatt’s office with him. The cabinet often heard loud, boisterous laughter booming from behind the closed office doors, but they’ve long since learned not to question it. 
They grew wary of you two, it seemed that your sanities were turning into slippery slopes. The Emperor and the Secretary of Defense could not be fully trusted to make any decisions anymore. Even Quackity, who loved his adopted kid to death, agreed that they couldn’t be trusted. You and Schlatt had changed so much from when he first started dating Schlatt. It hurt him to see his husband and his child slip into insanity.
While you were planning the festival with Schlatt and Tubbo, it was extremely hard for you to keep a straight face. Whenever Schlatt wasn’t looking, Tubbo would smirk and glance at you from the corner of his eyes. It was in those moments specifically that you would struggle the most with containing your laughter. Originally, Schlatt was only going to exile Tubbo for his treachery, but after the fiasco with the lame excuse of ‘farming totems of undying’, you convinced him to turn it into an execution. You organized every single part of Tubbo’s execution, it was perfect in your opinion. At the same time, you were giving Schlatt information of your brother’s whereabouts during the festival. You were going to put on a show for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the stage, you were shifting and fidgeting relentlessly from your position between your adopted dads. From an outside perspective, one would assume that you’re nervous to be on stage in the middle of the spotlight. Everybody outside of the cabinet and your fathers still saw you as the innocent kid that wouldn’t hurt a fly. How wrong they were. Tubbo’s speech was the hardest to sit through, Quackity had to have a tight grip on your hand to prevent you from rushing the teenager and caging him too early. 
After Schlatt gave you the signal, you, him, and Quackity quickly trapped him in a cage made of yellow concrete. You could hear the shocked gasps of the audience and saw Wilbur holding Tommy down from revealing their hiding spot. Schlatt gently nudged you up to the microphone with a kind smile. 
You walked confidently up to the podium and gave the audience the widest closed-eyed grin they’d ever seen on you. “Hello citizens of Manberg, other guests,” you opened your eyes and shot a smug smirk over to your older brothers on the roof. You took great pleasure in the look of hurt, anger, and betrayal in their eyes. 
“What you are going to witness today is my pride and joy. As it turns out, our dearest Tubbo here,” you turned around to give a grandiose gesture at the cage behind you, “is a filthy little traitor.” The last word ripped itself from your mouth like a rattlesnake spitting venom at its victims. 
Tubbo banged on the walls in a rage, “you were a spy too! YOU WERE A SPY FOR POGTOPIA TOO!” 
“On the contrary, dearest Tubbo. I was a double agent working for Schlatt, my father. I was never loyal to Pogtopia. Why would I be when you all used me?” You gave him a gentle smile. The insane and malicious glint in your eyes contrasted the kindness of your features. You turned back to the podium with that same smile. The combination of your words and your expression sent cold chills down the spines of the Manbergians. They now saw you as who you really were. 
“Now, since I was so rudely interrupted,” you shot a glare at the shocked boy behind you, “hm, where was I?” You rubbed your chin in false confusion before you perked up, “oh right! What you are going to witness today is the public execution of our dear friend Tubbo.” You broke into a series of manic giggling, pounding your fist against the wood of the podium. The gasps of the audience sounded like music to your ears.
“TECHNOBLADE, GET THE HELL UP HERE BROTHER! YOU HAVE THE HONORS.”
You shouted through your laughter. Technoblade climbed up the stairs and stood facing you with a harsh glare. You grinned at him as he spoke to you with his usual monotone voice. This time, there was an undeniable angry undertone you could clearly detect, “what do you want me to do?”
“You still have that rocket launcher, right?”
He pulled it out of his satchel. You squealed happily and jumped up and down clapping your hands excitedly, “good! I’ve always liked fireworks. Now be a dear and make Tubbo go out with a bang!”
He walked over to face Tubbo’s cage and pointed the crossbow at him. You could see his finger trembling over the trigger and a nervous sweat gathering at his brow. After a while of seeing no firework action, you grew impatient and started to furiously shout at him.
“WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, BLOOD GOD? WHAT, ARE YOU TOO MUCH OF A PUSSY TO DO IT NOW? KILL HIM! BLAST HIM TO SMITHEREENS! FUCKING DO IT.”
With every word that left your mouth, you stepped closer to him until you were screaming into his ear. You felt immense pleasure when you saw him start to shake. When you heard the shooting of fireworks and the agonized screams of Tubbo and saw the colorful blasts, you felt like you were on cloud nine. It was beautiful. 
Your insane laughter was heard over the chaos that followed. Schlatt and Quackity, seeing Techno’s growing anger after killing Tubbo, moved to push you behind them. Quackity wrapped his wings around you in a tight hug before fireworks were shot at your family. After you pushed Quackity away from you, you saw your father’s corpse lying on the stage floor. It was clear that he had just lost a life. 
Quackity collapsed to the stage with a groan before he briefly passed out. You checked if he was still breathing before you looked at Technoblade with anger written clear on your features. You gave a furious shout before you charged at him, determined to kill the unkillable. 
You dodged the fireworks that he shot at you before you finally reached him. He dodged your flailing arms and the attempts to push him off from the stage with ease. “I SHOULD’VE KNOWN NOT TO TRUST YOU!” 
His shout was dismissed by you, not registering in your clouded mind at all. He grabbed your arms and threw you to the edge of the stage. Before you could get up, he stomped a foot down on your chest and pointed the rocket launcher at your face. You were not phased by this, grinning and laughing with insanity-filled glee.  “KILL ME TECHNO! DO IT, GO ON! FUCKING DO IT. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!”
He stared at you with the most anger you’ve ever seen from him before he pushed you off the stage with a simple kick of his foot. As you were plummeting to your death, you saw Technoblade point the rocket launcher at you before you saw the colorful rockets shooting at you. Your laughter ending abruptly with the explosion of fireworks and the thump of your bloodied corpse against the pavement was something the citizens of Manberg would never forget. 
Your brothers stared at your corpse as it disappeared with shock and anger. They never suspected you of all people to be a traitor, they thought you were the sweet, naive kid they knew growing up. They thought your allegiance to them would be unbreaking and you’d follow them blindly. Obviously, they were wrong. There was no saving you. You were too far gone. 
When you woke up with Schlatt and Quackity holding your hands at your bedside, all of the memories flooded back to you. They held you as you cried in frustration, wiping at your tears with gentle, reassuring smiles and loving words. Rage filled you as you remembered how they got away with their lives. You had one life left, and you were going to dedicate it to their downfall. Even if you died in the process. They should fear the day you return. There was no saving them from your wrath.

Dr. Padi, my love, I need to tell you about my dream! While spooning in bed, I took his hand to caress my stomach just because it feels good BUT he read the situation as me trying to subtlety tell him I am preg 🤰🏻. He asked me in the morning if I am indeed expecting but I told him no it just felt nice. I asked him "do you want me to be pregnant?"
if you are up for it, how about some more breeding kink with Din/other boy please 🥺🤲
OHHHH what a wonderful dream and you have no idea how big I smiled when you called me doctor!!! I totally see this with Javi (he's not like Markie or Din with a raging breeding kink bc he's more insecure about having kids)
Can't Wait l Javier Peña x f!Reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: Breeding kink✨ , talk of giving birth, piv sex, dirty talk, 18+ only
"What's wrong? Does your tummy hurt?" Javi whispered as soon as you put his hand on your stomach. "Wait... are you pregnant?"
"No." You scoffed holding his hands more securely on your stomach. "Just feels nice."
"Oh..." He actually sounds disappointed. You turn around in his arms, barely seeing his outline in the dark bedroom.
"What, Javi?"
"I was actually excited if you were-" He laughs nervously. "I mean for a second there I thought- do you want to be pregnant?"
"Only with your baby." You kiss him sweetly on his jaw. "It would be wonderful having a little mini you running around, don't you think?" You imagined a dark haired stubborn boy running around your feet or a spit-fire little girl with Javi's chin. You didn't realize until this moment how much you wanted that with him. He would be such a wonderful father. Now that he sharing his interest, it was hard to think of much else.
"I hope they look like you, hermosa." Javi whispered. "Because you are perfect."
"We're perfect." You corrected him, taking one of his hands in yours. "Us. Together. So of course our child will be perfect too."
"Smart." Javi quipped, grinning down at you though he couldn't see more than the outline of your smile. "But don't get ahead of yourself, hermosa. I have to get you pregnant first." Javi nipped at your bottom lip.
"Then what are you waiting for." You'd lock your legs around him playfully.
You went to see your gynecologist about having a baby the next week and got your implant removed. Excitement and lust ignited your already healthy sex life. Javi always fucked like he was apologizing for something. Fucked like he was trying to forget. It always felt desperate and spontaneous which you loved; however now that he had set his mind to breeding you, everything changed. He was still just as determined and passionate as ever, but instead of choked grunts through gritted teeth he was openly proclaiming praise while he fucked you. His own pride inflating with this new important task. All his restraint gone.
"Such a fertile little pussy. So sweet." He praised. At this point his chest shone with sweat and his dark hair was curled over his forehead. Still he was unhurried. He enjoyed making you beg and push you both to your highest point before he finally came inside you.
"You want me to cum?" He clutched your jaw in his hand, gazing down at you while he thrust. His voice low and raspy it made you shiver.
"Please Javi!" You clutched his shoulders, delirious from the first two orgasms you already had but still hungry for more. Hungry for that oh so important finish that would fill you up in the deepest sense possible. You were so greedy now. You wanted to see him fall apart. You wanted everything he could give.
"Make me cum, hermosa. Squeeze my cock. Show me how badly you want my seed. You can do it." His eyes glinted with mischief when you sat up on your elbows and tightened your pelvic muscles as much as you could. He always loved that. He threw his head back as you became unbelievably tight around him "Oh fuck. That's it, hermosa. S-so good."
"Ja-Javi!" You sang as he punched into you one last time as deep as he could possibly reach. Your hands flew to his ass and you dug your nails into the round flesh holding him deep, feeling it flex as he held himself inside you. You almost could feel his cock pulsing inside of you.
"Keep-oh fuck- keep holding me. Milk my cock. Take every d-drop from me, bebita-I love you so much-"
You choked back a moan as you tried to keep your pussy tight but it was hard because you were so close to cumming yourself. Your walls were twitching around him as he continued to pump cum inside you with shallow thrusts.
His groans devolved into ragged breaths when you finally came around him with a gasp. Your pussy walls fluttered and clamped around his now spent cock, sucking his cum deeper towards your womb.
"I can't wait." Javi rubbed your stomach while you both recovered, letting all his fantasies even the domestic ones come freely. "they'll be so beautiful like their mama."
"Mhmm...like their papa, too." You sighed. You were still catching your breath from it all. "Fuck Javi... you keep fucking me like this and we'll have triplets." You giggled knowing that wasn't how it worked but it felt like it.
"We could handle triplets." Javi smirked.
"No oh my god. I can't even imagine giving birth to one kid let alone three." You grimaced.
"Are you kidding me? Your pussy is magic baby. So strong." He dipped his fingers through your folds gently, smearing some of your shared cum around. "You can do anything."

Eight types of love II Levi Ackerman
Summary: “There are eight types of love, and even though his life has been full of pain since the very beginning, he could say he experienced them all.”
Genre: Angst and Fluff
Word count: + 5k
Author note: This is the first thing I’ve ever published and I’m really nervous, so I would really appreciate if you reblogged, liked and commented. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes. Constructive criticism is really appreciated.
                                                           . . . . 
1. AGAPE or Selfless love
           His mother would tell him everyday that she loved him with everything she had, even though it was not a lot. He asked his mother what love was, what meant loving someone. She couldn’t explain it with exact words, she would tell him that love meant caring deeply for someone, even more than for yourself. She loved him and he loved her, that much was true. He asked if he could love more than one person, his mom told him that yes, you could love many people in your life and in different ways. Then, he proceeded to ask if she had ever loved anyone else besides him, she was quiet, like she was thinking the right answer and after a few minutes she said that she had or at least she thought she did, but she had never loved someone as much as she loved him. Love was a confusing thing for him and the more he asked, the more unclear it got.
          The only thing he was sure of was that the only thing she loved was her mother. However, curious as he was, he would ask her questions about it all the time.
         ‘Is love the best thing in the world?’ 
        ‘Yes, Levi, it is the only thing that makes life worth it.’
        ‘Is love always good?’ 
       ‘Not always, sometimes it makes you sad.’
       ‘I don’t wanna be sad. I won’t love anyone else but you.’ 
      ‘You can’t choose who you love, sweetie.’
      ‘Love sucks.’ 
     ‘You will get it when you grow up.’
     ‘I’m already a grown-up.’
     He tried to get it, but he couldn’t. He prided himself of being smart, his mom would always tell him that he was really clever and witty for his age. Then, how come he wasn’t able to understand love. It was just a four-letter word: L-O-V-E, it couldn’t have such a deep meaning. ‘Door’ had also four letters and it wasn’t hard to understand and ‘Scandalous’, pretty much the biggest word for him, had ten letters and he knew what it meant, he could even use it in a phrase.
      His mom, noticing that he was about to collapse trying to figure out what has love, tried to come up with the best possible definition, one that would please his five-year old son.
    ‘Love is a selfless thing. Love means giving everything you have, to make the other person happy and content, even though you may not get back all you give. When you love someone, you only what the best for them. It can cause you pain too but loving someone and being loved back is one of the best things we can experience as humans. We may not have a lot, Levi, but we have each other and more important, we love one another and that makes us privileged.’
     He understood it then, kind of, so the questions stopped.
     However, when his mother’s body laid lifeless in bed, he regretted not making one last question: ‘if you died, do you think anyone would ever love me, mom?’
     Later, when he was under Kenny’s wing and after Kenny had left him at his own, he soon found an answer: no one would.
2. PHILIA or Affectionate love
           After his mother’s death, after Kenny, after everything, he thought that love was out of his reach, something he could never have again. Then Isabel and Farlan happened.
           Every single day since his mother died, he would ask himself if he would love again and if someone would love him back. However, at the same time, he wanted to know nothing about love, love brought pain and he had already suffered enough for a lifetime. He sometimes thought that he had an emptiness inside, a big hole where his heart should be, a room so big that no one could ever fill.
           After his mom came Kenny, but he was sure he did not love him, at least not like he had loved his mother, and he was sure as hell Kenny did not love him back. Love was supposed to be selfless and caring and Kenny was selfish and did not give a damn about him, he proved him that when he left him alone, again.
           Loneliness was a feeling he was already used to but being used to it didn’t mean he liked it. Then again, who would be dumb enough to love him? And he knew better than to love someone who would end up leaving him, like his mother did, like Kenny did.
           Well, maybe he did love Kenny, but loving him was painful. While loving his mother was sweet, freeing and it brought him solace and comfort; loving Kenny was toxic and tough, when he thought about it, it troubled him. He gave him a home and he taught him how to survive in the Underground, he didn’t know why, but he raised him, and Kenny never did something freely, he was sure something was missing there, but he didn’t know what. It was stupid of him to think that he cared about him, but a little white lie never hurt anyone. Loving Kenny, seeing him as the paternal figure he never had, filled him with turmoil and changed the way he perceived love.
           Love was weakness, it could bring you to your knees, he had learned that. It was pointless, why would you commit to something that would inevitably bring you sorrow? He wasn’t about to make the same mistake again, he knew better, the only person who would stay with him was himself and that wasn’t about to change.
           Then Isabel and Farlan walked into his life. Well, Farlan walked, Isabel stumbled.
           They became family. He knew better but he couldn’t help it. They were thick as thieves, literally. Suddenly, they became the family he yearned for since his mother died. He loved them with everything he had. Loving them was selfless as his mother said, he wanted the best for them, he wanted to see them happy, no matter the price. However, it was a different kind of love, it was pure affection. It wasn’t the adoration he had for his mother, nor the rage he felt for Kenny. It was tender and sweet, he never had a brother or a close friend to care about while growing up, but he thought it was supposed to feel like that, it had to be like that. It had to be another type of love. His mother told him that love was never the same, it had different shapes and, for him, at that moment love had Isabel and Farlan’s shape.
           Sadly, nothing good lasts forever, at least not for him. Love causes pain and brings you to your knees, he shouldn’t have forgotten that. When he saw Isabel’s head laying on the floor surrounded by a puddle of her own blood, mouth agape, eyes wide open and pale face, he fell to his knees. He saw a supercut of him, Isabel and Farlan, all the good times, all the laughs they shared and all the stories they still had to write but they would never be able to do because they weren’t there, not anymore, they were gone like his mother, like Kenny. He was alone again.
           Love always brought him to his knees and he would never forget it again. He wasn’t made for love; the same way love wasn’t made for him.
3. LUDUS or Playful love
           Meeting you happened out of pure coincidence, being in the right place at the wrong time.
           He had come from a long mission and he was completely and utterly fine, seriously, but Hange loved to make a big deal out of everything. Well, maybe he had an injury, but a minor one, nothing that he couldn’t take care of himself. He spent years in the Underground, he didn’t need a doctor, he could stitch himself up and place his bones back in place. However, Hange didn’t think the same and was nagging him about getting his injuries checked, so there he was, in one of the infirmary’s bed, waiting for the head doctor.
           It wasn’t that he was scared of doctors or “hospitals”, he just didn’t like the idea of some stranger touching him or feeling hopeless and powerless, he didn’t like feeling like he needed help or advice, he could do it pretty much on his own. But Hange didn’t really trust his medical abilities and he knew that arguing with her was pointless.
           ‘Doctor Brunner couldn’t come since he is busy with some paperwork, so he sent me. I’m his trainee y/n y/ln.’ 
           ‘I’m not letting some failed attempt of medic treat my wounds.’
           It wasn’t what people would call a ‘meet cute’ moment, it was more like a ‘meet jerk’. He wasn’t the best dealing with people, nor that he wanted to be, he preferred it that way. If you had been any other person, you wouldn’t have bitten back, but you had a sharp tongue and weren’t scared of him. That was probably what drew him in, he was so used to people recoiling in fear when they saw him that having someone that actually fought back was quite alluring.
           ‘Well, this failed attempt of a doctor knows more than you ever will, so act your age, stop being a bitch and let me tend your injuries.’
           ‘You have some nerve talking to me like that.’ 
           ‘You have some nerve coming to my workplace to insult me.’
           During that first encounter none of you said much to each other. He wasn’t fond on talking and you didn’t like his attitude, so you didn’t try to strike a conversation. He had to admit that you were good at you job, you tended him with care and you knew what you were doing, not that he would tell you, at least not yet.
           ‘Well, not so bad for a failed attempt of a doctor.’
           It was the closest thing to a compliment he could say, and it looked like you knew, because he swears that he saw you smile a little.
           ‘Aren’t you a pleasure to work with? The injury in your arm was pretty nasty and poorly treated, so luckily for you, you will have to drop by more times to check on you. These are my hours, if you want this failed attempt of a doctor to treat you, Captain. I could get used to see your friendly face now and then.’
           He didn’t know if the last part was supposed to be interpreted as flirting, but he did come back to visit you, to keep an eye of his injury, obviously. However, if you asked Hange, she would say that you had caught his eye, he still says that at that point in your relationship you annoyed him too much to find himself interested in you.
           His weekly visits turned into daily visits, so much for not liking you.
           ‘I’m starting to think I’ve managed to catch your attention, Captain.’ 
          ‘Tch, you’re just less annoying than the rest of the brats.’ 
          ‘Oh Captain, you really know how to make me blush.’
           He lied. You did catch his attention and you both knew it. It wasn’t love, not at all, it was a gentle curiosity that grew a little bit every day, like a flower blossoming.
           ‘Tch, you only know to say shit with that mouth of yours.’ 
           ‘This mouth of mine knows to do a lot of things, want me show you, Captain?’
           ‘When you return from the expedition, you have to come to the infirmary to see your wounds and stop playing the hero, it’s bullshit.’ 
            ‘I’m starting to think you may have an obsession for doing check-ups on me, brat.’ 
           ‘You caught me, I only do them because I can’t keep my hands of you, Captain.’
         ‘Why do you always call me Captain? It’s annoying, I’m not your superior.’
        ‘I know, but I like teasing you with it, Captain.’
        He cared for you more than he cared for other people in his life, he liked being with you, maybe that was another type of love. Loving his mother was selfless; loving Isabel and Farlan was affectionate; loving you, or whatever the hell he was felling, was playful, flirty and it filled him with joy.
       Maybe it wasn’t love, but it was getting there.
4. MANIA or Obsessive love
           Your relationship was frustrating everybody, absolutely every single person that knew about you two, everybody knew you had feelings for each other but none of you did something about it, you just kept tiptoeing around each other. It was painful to see. They didn’t know if you were oblivious, stupid, scared or if you were just messing with them, Hange believed the latter one because there was no way you two weren’t together already. The banter, the flirty remarks, the way he looked out for you and the way you took care of him.
           ‘What’s going on with you and y/n, Shorty?’ 
           ‘You tell me, Four-eyes’
           ‘Tell me the truth, y/n. Are you and Levi dating and just keeping it as a secret? Because I’m losing my mind.’ 
           ‘We aren’t dating, Hange.’
           To be honest, Levi was losing his mind too. The playful game turned into something more serious, something more obsessive and he didn’t like it. He couldn’t stop thinking about you and what were you doing while he was busy with paperwork. On missions his mind wandered about your wellbeing and if you were fine. He couldn’t ignore the way his heartbeat became erratic whenever you were close to him or the way he would notice every single thing about you. He felt powerless, there was no way to stop it.
           He, who always had a plan and knew to do, was helpless under something he could have prevented, or at least something he think he could have avoided. Deep down he knew that he would have fallen for you one way or another, some things are bound to happen, and love is one of them, but he didn’t want to admit that something as mundane as love could outpower him in his own life.
           He was aware of how you felt about him, you weren’t scared to be vocal about it and it drove him mad, and by the way his stoic eyes would gleam and glisten while looking at you, you were certain it was mutual. He knew that if he said the word or gave you signal, you’d be his and he’d be yours, but he couldn’t give you what you wanted, and it was a matter of time before you got tired of him. You were young and beautiful, one the most outstanding creatures he had ever seen, you could do better than him and you’d realize soon enough. Life was too short to waste it on him.
           ‘What are you waiting for, Levi? Do something about it because it’s getting painful to watch.’ 
           ‘Get off my fucking case, Four-eyes.’
           Everyone was waiting for him to do something, but he couldn’t. In those moments he remembered the question he wasn’t able to ask his mother: ‘if you died, do you think anyone would ever love me, mom?’ His mother loved him, and she died, just like Isabel and Farlan, he couldn’t love you, because he’ll end up losing you, the same way he lost everyone else.
           He was loveless.
           But you weren’t, and you found someone to do what he couldn’t do, someone to love you like you deserved.
           He didn’t know a lot about them. You looked happier and that was all he cared about. He thought that seeing you with another person would calm his heart and his desires, but they only got worse, there was no way of forgetting about you. You were everywhere.
           ‘C’mon Levi, do something.’ 
          ‘Didn’t I tell you to drop it, Hange?’
           His visits stopped but you kept waiting for him, hoping he would come to his senses. You didn’t get it, you really didn’t. He had the opportunity, he could have taken the chance to be with you, but he didn’t, so you moved on, or tried to, you didn’t love your partner, but you could see yourself falling in love with them. However, you still missed Levi, not as a potential lover, but as a friend. The way he erased you from his life as you were nothing broke your heart. What did he want from you?
           He wanted everything. He wanted all of you and yet he couldn’t do anything about it. He was just frozen in time while you kept moving. He met your partner, they came to visit you once, they were gentle and loving, they looked at you like you were the brightest star in the firmament. They held your hand and kissed your lips. They did all the things he wanted to do. He was jealous, but he didn’t have the right to say something, he had never had the right.
           The way he looked at you made you feel guilty, like you were betraying him, and you were so confused and annoyed and angry and mad, and you really wanted to punch him in the face. So, you went to his room that night and stormed in.
           ‘What the fuck is wrong with you?’ 
           ‘I should be asking that, I’m not the one barging in someone else’s room with no previous invitation.’
           He had never seen you like that, so mad and full of rage and it was all directed to him and he knew it was his fault.
           ‘What do you want of me, Levi?’
           He wanted everything.
           He wanted you.
           ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about. Could you please stop making me lose my time?’
           He saw it in your face, that was the last straw.
           ‘You’re selfish, an asshole, a prick and a lot of other things. But above it all, you’re a fucking coward, so much for Humanity’s Strongest. For fucks sake, Levi, I loved you, I still do, but I can’t keep waiting for someone who is too scared to do something about it. I want you and you want me too. What’s stopping you?’
           He remembered again, the question he never had the chance to ask: ‘if you died, do you think anyone would ever love me, mom?’
           You loved him and you weren’t scared of it. But he was, and you were about to leave the room. You turned your back on him and it was now or never. He had to choose: would he let you walk away definitely of his life or would he do something?
           For once, he didn’t think, he didn’t listen to his head, he listened to his heart. For so long he made himself believe that he didn’t have a heart, but his heart was right there, beating for you.
           He kissed you and you kissed him back.
           ‘Mine.’ 
          ‘Yours.’
5. EROS or Passionate love
           You both were private people, you didn’t want people talking about your relationship during its first stages, what you had was precious and new and you wanted to protect it from the world a little longer. That’s why no one really knew about the whole ordeal, well, they knew that something had shifted because you could be in the same room without making everyone uncomfortable with your unsolved issues, but they couldn’t pinpoint what had exactly changed, they just guessed that you sorted everything out, finally.
           However, Hange did know what changed. She prided herself on knowing Levi, after many years working with him she had learned that Levi only talked through his body language, so she started paying attention to what his body said instead of listening to the words he spewed. Therefore, when she asked him if he was dating you and he said a short no, he knew he was lying. She noticed how he seemed more at ease, how you had broken up with your partner, the way he would gravitate towards you and that when he looked at you, his eyes weren’t filled with longing and remorse, they were shinier and less cold than usual. So, she obviously knew that something was up, but she kept quiet. She may talk way too much, and people could find her annoying, but at the end of the day she was a good friend, and she would respect that neither of you wanted to make things public.
           Keeping things private was harder than he originally thought, he was distant and cold to everyone, but he couldn’t be cold and distant with you when you made him burn inside and he could only think about holding you close. It was weird for him, he had spent so many years deprived of touch that he couldn’t imagine himself getting addicted to it, but he was wrong, so wrong.
           You knew that Levi was touch starved, you didn’t need to be a genius to notice. When you picked up his body language and started hearing about his childhood, everything came together: his mother died when he was very young, the most paternal figure he had was toxic and abusive to him and since Isabel and Farlan he didn’t let anyone in easily. Levi wasn’t used to someone doting him and you knew that if you started showering him with affection, it would probably scare him off a little, and that was the last thing you wanted. So, you started slowly: holding hands, gentle caresses, kisses in his cheek, hugs, light pecks on the lips and when you saw that he started getting more comfortable, things started scaling on their own, you let him mark the pace. It wasn’t a quick process, but it was worth it.
           After a few months, Levi couldn’t keep his hands of you and he surely didn’t want you to keep your hands off him. This was a new kind of love, at first, on the early stages of your relationship it was playful, but then it evolved into something more passionate: quick pecks turned into open mouthed kisses; holding hands innocently turned into holding you close while you came undone under him again and again; kisses now went lower and lower, exploring new parts of you that he hadn’t seen and that no one else would. He didn’t think that touch could mean so much to him, but it did now, and he knew that couldn’t ever go back to a touchless life where you wouldn’t be there to love him.
6. PHILAUTIA or Self-love
          He wasn’t neither deaf, blind or stupid. He could hear what people had to say about your relationship, how you deserved better than him; he could see his reflection on the mirror and how he wasn’t beautiful, at least not as much as you, he wasn’t the male that would make people swoon and he knew that you could have any man or female you wanted, but you chose him, out of every other person, you decided to be with him. He was a lucky bastard and you didn’t make good decisions, what a match.
           You would look at him like he held the stars in the sky, and you would touch him like he was about to disappear in any moment, as if he were a dream you were afraid to wake up from. He didn’t get why him, he wasn’t the most handsome, nor the nicest, nor the easiest to love, and you still decided to keep him around. He liked to think that he was smart or cleverer than the average, and yet he couldn’t grasp his head around that the fact you loved him and just him, and that was it, it was as simple as that.
           Whenever you heard the things people said about your partner, you went feral, because you knew all those comments fueled the self-hate Levi had. Being loveless for so long it obviously affected the perception he had of himself and you wanted to change that, because he deserved it, he deserved all the happiness in this dull world. He liked to play strong, but you saw through him, and even though he never acted upon them, it hurt him. You wished he could see himself through you eyes, because it caused you pain the mere idea of him thinking less of himself, that he wasn’t worthy of your love.
           You would tell him every day how much you loved him, as if you were reciting a prayer to your own god.
           ‘I love you.’
           ‘You’re beautiful.’
           ‘I could stare at you for the rest of my life.’
           ‘I don’t know what I would do without you.’
           You would tell him that he needed to love himself, see the good inside of him, he guessed that that was one the types of love he had yet to discover: self-love. He didn’t see himself capable of loving himself nearly the half of how much you loved him.
           ‘You know one reason why you should love yourself, because you make me the happiest I’ve ever been.’
              He didn’t love himself, not yet, but if he was able to make you smile like that, he couldn’t be that unworthy of you.
7. STORGE or Familiar love
              He had been avoiding love for as long as he could remember, and then you burst into his life with the force of a typhoon. Love had found him, and he couldn’t get away, you never can, it was a lesson that he had finally accepted.
             For so long he saw love as something unnecessary, a burden for the soul. Love ruins you, it stabs you on the back, whenever he let his walls down, love would always take advantage of it and destroy him, bringing him closer to insanity, he had lost himself too many times by loving people and when he met you, he did not want the cycle to repeat itself. He didn’t want more Kuchels, Kennys, Isabels and Farlans, love was merciless, and he wasn’t interested in it, at least that was what he told to himself every day, that he was better off alone. Was all the pain worth it? He thought love came with a high price and he couldn’t afford it. However, things change, life happens, destiny has always something in the store, well, in his case he had someone.
           You were his everything, the beacon that brought light in his life, for so long he had been lost, walking amongst shadows, nearly becoming one, and when you appeared you changed the rules of the game, of his game. Every wall he had built around himself came down and you filled every gap his heart was missing. It was the scariest thing he had ever done, letting you in, letting someone in, giving someone else the control of his own heart. You knew the power you held between your hands and you never abused it. You were his solace in this mad world, the oasis in the middle of the desert.
         Loving him was not easy, he knew it, he was rude, sharp, too closed off, mean, he was what people liked to call a ‘fucking jerk’ and yet you never gave up on him, on what you had. Instead of leaving when you had the chance, you stayed through thick and thin: through sleepless nights, through his bad moods and grumpiness, through his biting remarks… .You didn’t ran way, you were too stubborn for that, instead you taught him more forms of love.
         You were all of the ones he knew and more.
         You were selfless, giving him every part of you and loving him with everything you had to offer.
         You were his best friend, his companion, the better half of him.
         You were playful, joyous, probably the only thing that could make him smile and bring him happiness.
         You were consuming, like a fire burning inside of him.
         You were passionate, intoxicating.
         You were every form of love he had ever experienced, but nothing could have ever prepared him for the kind of love he was experiencing in that moment: the familiar one. The one you feel when you hold your newborn in your trembling hands. It was something he couldn’t describe, there weren’t words for it, he tried to, but he failed every single time.
         This was the way his mom loved him, and then he knew how much he had meant for his own mother. While holding little Kuchel on his arms, he remembered all those days and nights on that dirty brothel, all the hours he spent by his mother’s side, how she would do everything to give him the best life and he soon realized there was nothing in this world he wouldn’t do for his daughter. It wasn’t the best of times to have a child, but in that moment, in that precise instant, when Kuchel opened her grey eyes, he was sure of one thing: he would tear everything and everyone down only to see her smile.
        A knock on the door. Another one. Two minutes passed and then Hange, followed by Erwin, entered in the room.
       ‘Tch, Shitty-glasses, who gave you permission to come in?’ 
       ‘My authority as a god-mother.’
       ‘Don’t make me regret it.’
      ‘She’s beautiful, what’s her name?’ 
     ‘Her name is Kuchel.’
     Kuchel was his new world, he loved her so much that it was overwhelming, he would never love someone as much as he loved her, and no one would probably love with the same devotion Levi Ackerman loved his daughter.
    ‘You know, Kuchel, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I promise you that you will have the best life a man like me can give you. I may be a little cold, perhaps a little strict and you will probably get mad at me sometimes, but no matter what happens, I will love you through everything. And by the way, no dating until I’m dead because no brat will be good enough for you. You deserve the world Kuchel and I’ll give you everything it has to offer. Things may get hard, you aren’t born in the best circumstances, but I’ll protect you because you deserve the life I couldn’t live.’
     Kuchel’s first word was ‘dadda’.
     Kuchel’s first steps were pointed towards his father.
     Kuchel’s favorite pastime was being in his father’s arms.
     Kuchel could only sleep after his father had kissed her forehead.
     And Kuchel would never love someone as much as he loved his father, because she loved him as much as he loved her.
8. PRAGMA or Enduring love
           He was old and wrinkly, he was scarred, mutilated and there were days he couldn’t sleep because the nightmares were too real. But he was happy, he was married to the most beautiful and special person he had ever met, he had a loving daughter, a bunch of brats he was proud to call grandchildren and the tea shop he had always dreamed about.
           Life hadn’t been fair to him. He had lost so many people he cared about, he had fought a war and he had had the weight of the world on his shoulders. But, after all, after the tortures, the adversities, the deaths… He had people who loved and whom he loved.
          Love was worth it. He had finally learned that.
          At his seventies he found out about the last kind of love, the enduring, the one that lasts and survives in time. He loved his family above everything, and he would love them long after his bones turn into ashes and no one remembers his name.
         Then he recalled that question he never got to ask his mother: ‘if you died, do you think anyone would ever love me, mom?’
         He looked at the sky and smiled.
        ‘After all someone was fool enough to love me mom, who would have thought?’
         A gentle breeze caressed his skin and a single tear fell from his eye.
        ‘I guess that’s the way you have of answering the question.’

Happy Birthday Jason!
Jason ran as fast as he could through the streets back to his apartment where he knew his twin sister was waiting for him.  He raced up the fire escape and did a special tap against the window before opening it and entering the rundown broken apartment building.  As soon as he set his feet on the grossly stained carpet he felt a small body ram into him.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY-JAY!”
His small sister, Marinette, cheered loudly as she crushed him in a hug.  He smiled as he hugged her back.
“Hey Pix.  Have you been good, didn’ cause too much trouble did ya?”
She shook her head against his chest and then jumped back as she ran towards their thin dirty sheet they used at night and brought it over to him.  
“Abuela gave me some money for cleaning her floors, so I gotcha somethin’!”
He pulled out a small cheap cardboard box from his hoodie pocket and handed it to her.
“Picked up enough money to get you somethin’ too.”
Her smile brightened, her smile didn’t belong in such a dark place.  They traded the gifts to each other and both were extremely happy.  Jason had given Marinette a small bracelet with a red string and different colored beads.  Marinette had gotten her brother an old book from the thrift shop that obviously used, but it was still good enough to be able to properly read from.  The book was titled Pride and Prejudice.  He looked so awed by the book and she felt immense pride in herself.  There was a bit of bread left over from a few days ago and Marinette made sure it was equally split so her brother also had his proper fill.  It was his birthday too after all!  
When it was time to go to sleep Jason read a chapter of the book to her then, the big meanie, made her read a chapter for him.  She stuttered a lot, but he would just smile and help her pronounce the word.  She was so lucky to have such an amazing big brother.
~~~~~~~~ It just didn’t feel right.  He had been living in the manor for a year now, and today felt so wrong without her.  Marinette had been taken by CPS three months before he had been caught stealing the tires off of the Batmobile.  He needed the money to hire a private investigator in order to find his sister.  It’s not that he didn’t trust Bruce, he just didn’t want him to put his sister into the danger that he was putting himself into as the new Robin.  He just knew that she would insert herself into vigilante life if she knew he was doing it.
Alfred seemed to understand what he was going through as he walked into the kitchen.  He didn’t know how the man knew, but he learned not to question it after spending about half a year in the manor.  He was silently eating his pancakes when Dick burst into the room yelling,
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY J-BIRD!”
While scooping him into his trademark octopus hugs.  Jason struggled to get out of it as shock and adrenaline coursed through his veins.  Instincts from living on the streets for many years never really going away.
“How old are you now?  You’re 14, right?”
“Yea, now get off me!”
He did not in fact get off of Jason, at least not until Alfred told him to a few seconds later.  Rolling out his arms and shoulders he rolled his eyes at his brother and turned back to his food.  After a few moments of peace Dick poked his arm to get his attention.  Jason sighed and turned to the side to look at Dick.
“Yes?”
“Here, I got you a present.”
Dick said with a bright smile that reminded him so much of his younger sisters.  He looked down and saw a rectangular looking thing hidden behind brightly colored and nicely wrapped wrapping paper.  Jason carefully took the book with a small thank you nod and tore open the paper to be met with a nice hard cover book of Peter Pan.
“I know we already have it in the library, but I thought you would want your own, and I just felt like you would like it.”
Dick said as he saw the gentle, reminiscent(?) look in Jason’s eyes as he stared at the book.  Jason willed himself not to cry as he stared at the book.  The book that inspired the nickname he gave his sister.  Abuela had read this book to them while they had stayed at her home during a harsh winter day.  Bless her soul, he knew that she was in the best place of heaven, if that place even existed.
Barbara walked into the kitchen with a bright smile and ruffled his hair.
“Happy birthday Jay.”
She said happily.  Jason looked up and gave her a small smile.
“Thanks.”
He hugged the book close to his chest.
“Means a lot.”
~~~~~~~~ Jason was angry, he didn’t understand why this was happening.  His body burned and everything felt like it was burning with pain.  He was training in the League with Talia.  He thought he had found a hint on where his sister was, and apparently his actual birth mother.  No, it was just a trap, and he had died by Joker's hands, and his sister wasn’t even there!  Now he spent the day training with Talia and whoever she saw fit to handle him.  His thoughts wandered to what his sister was doing, to what her life was like, if she was part of a good home, if she was still on the streets, if she was even alive.  No, of course she was, she had to be.  He refused to believe that she was gone before he could see her again.  
They are both 17 now, almost adults.  He would find her, but first he had to prove to Talia that he was ready.  He had to take out Bruce and his replacement.  D* that man, how dare he replace him like that.  He wasn’t just some tool, he was a person, he was important, he would show just how important he was.  This birthday was filled with rage that fueled him through the day, it was his motivation to find her one day and get his revenge.
~~~~~~~~ Jason watched silently as he attended a Justice League meeting with the rest of his family and Leaguers.  It was still rocky with his family, and he hadn’t been able to find a clue to where his sister was.  He still hadn’t told the others about her, though he was pretty sure B already knew about her from doing a background check or something.  He had never brought her up or done anything that made him think he actually knew about her though.  He had celebrated his 19th birthday, and so was she.  He was sure that she was still alive though.  He could never believe that she had passed.
A bright blue portal opened in the middle of the room just as expected.  Apparently Paris’s heroes were coming for a meeting or something today to discuss the Hero Ban there.  Five people in some form of animal themed suits walked through it.  A cat that looked like he could be Selina’s child, a bee, a snake, a dragon, and a ladybug.  
“Hello, I am Coccinelle and we are here to discuss the ban that we put up during Hawkmoth’s reign.”
He looked up suddenly, his eyes transfixed on the girl in the Ladybug suit that spoke.  His heart began to pick up racing quickly.  Her voice was so achingly familiar.  Her English was slightly accented in French, but it also had a small Gotham tint to it.
If this was a trick he would find a way to make the universe pay for this.  He hoped, he prayed to whatever God out there that existed that this was truly a gift from the universe.  He hadn’t realized that he had walked towards her until he was at her level staring into her eyes.
“Red Hood, what are you doing?”
Batman asked in his gruff voice.  He gently took off his helmet and mask before taking both her hands in his at her gasp.
“What are you doing, you bonehead fool?!”
Robin yelled at him, his glare intensifying.
Tears welled up in those oh so familiar blue eyes.  He had to be sure though.
“Marinette, is that you?”
She gave him a small nod before pulling her into a bone crushing hug.  Sobs left the young girl and silent tears fell down his cheeks as he ran his fingers through her hair in a comforting manner.
“J-Jason...I-I’m-”
“Shhh, it’s ok Pixie-Pop.  I got ya.  I’m not leavin’ ya again.”
It was silent around them as everybody observed what was happening, though the Miraculous team was shocked they smiled in a gentle knowing way.  A birthday gift from the universe it seemed, he wouldn’t curse it again…..At least he wouldn’t until the next world ending event.  He had his sister back in his arms, and that’s all he could ever ask for.

Midnight Food For Thought
Beelzebub x MC
Ok I wasn't sure whether to write it as "MC did this, they did that" or "you did this, you did that" or even "I did this, I did that" for this fic, so I went with the first option, lemme know if you guys prefer it a different style (I don't mind any way) and I'll keep that in mind for if/when I write another one of these!
This wasn’t the first time MC had gone downstairs for a midnight snack and found Beel already in the kitchen, but this was the first time they’d seen him in demon form at this hour. They supposed that’s why they lingered just by the steps, watching rather than going in. Not that he was scary in this form, but they worried he was upset, and would rather not be bothered. Beel didn’t have his head in the fridge like usual, oddly enough he seemed to be making something. Usually he was too hungry and tired at night to cook, so it was rather odd to see him kneading dough.
What was odder than that was it seemed he didn’t actually have any other ingredients out, just flour and a cup of water next to him. MC watched for a couple more minutes as he continued making more and more of this dough, adding flour and water and flour and water over and over again until the ball of dough was as wide as a dinner plate. That seems to be when he ran out of flour.
He sighed an oddly miserable sigh, and MC watched in confusion as he took a handful of dough and started… eating it. And it was only when he sat down a second later that they actually caught sight of his face.
There were tears running down his cheeks.
“Beel?” they said, finally calling attention to themself. Beel snapped up, fear flashing through his violet eyes before he saw them. After that, all that showed on his face was a mixture of guilt and embarrassment, his face turning as red as his hair and eyes filling with even more tears.
“Beel?” MC repeated, making their way into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, why are you crying? And why are you just eating dough? I’m sure there’s something a lot better than that to eat.”
Beel looked down and took another bite of his pitiful midnight snack.
“There wasn’t,” he muttered.
“What? What do you mean?”
“There wasn’t anything else to eat,” he said, louder this time. “It was all gone, there was only a little bit of flour left. I-I didn’t know what else to do. I’m s-so hungry, I-I didn’t think I’d make it to Hell’s Kitchen before I passed out o-or something so I-I just--” he cut off with a tiny sob, raising a wrist to scrub at his eye.
“Oh Beel, I’m so sorry,” MC said, wrapping their arms around his shoulders and pulling his head to rest against them. His horns didn’t feel exactly comfortable against their ribcage, but they didn’t really care at the moment. “I could’ve sworn there was plenty of food earlier today--jeez I don’t know what happened to it all.” They gazed around at the now completely bare cupboards, feeling almost angry at them for being empty despite the fact it’s not actually their fault.
“There was food! I saw it! We must’ve eaten it all at dinner, I didn’t even go in the kitchen to make sure I’d have something for tonight,” Beel said. His stomach snarled right then, and he quickly shoved another handful of dough in his mouth, grimacing at the taste.
“There should be more, Lucifer always takes into account how much you need to eat--wait, who went shopping this week?” MC asked.
“Mammon,” Beel growled. “He probably spent half the money on some sale and didn’t get enough food.”
“Goddammit Mammon,” MC said, pinching their brow and squeezing their eyes shut. I’ll have to beat him up later, they thought. Snag his credit card, buy poor Beel all the cheeseburgers he wants. They opened their eyes to see the hungry demon was already halfway through his tiny meal, more tears coursing down his face as he watched his food disappear.
“Hey,” they said softly, cupping his cheek and tilting his head up so he could meet their eyes. “We’re gonna go get you something to eat, okay? Something real, not just sticky dough. We’re gonna go to Hell’s Kitchen and you’ll end up so full your shirt doesn’t fit right, how does that sound?”
The rumble that sounded from Beel’s stomach at the suggestion seemed to be rather painful; he wrapped both his arms tightly around his belly, curling in on himself with gritted teeth and a small whimper.
“Oh Beel,” MC murmured, running a hand through his flaming hair. They gently pulled his arms until he stood up, still clutching his grumbling belly. They quickly grabbed his glob of dough still on the table and handed it to him, hoping it would be enough to tide him over until they both got to Hell’s Kitchen.
~~~
MC called the restaurant on the way, letting them know the situation, so despite the fact that it was a rather busy night at Hell’s Kitchen, they were seated quickly, and in a quiet, secluded area of the restaurant. Beel asked for his usual, a large plate of burgers, and said he’d give MC a few. He always seemed to forget that MC didn’t need ten whole burgers to feel full, but they appreciated the thought nonetheless.
Beel’s dough was long gone now, and he kept pressing his fingers deep into his stomach, it’s rumbles only growing louder with time. Besides his belly though, Beel himself was rather quiet, staring down at the empty table with his eyes unfocused and far away.
“You okay, Beel?” MC asked. They felt a little stupid as soon as they said it; it’s quite clear that he’s not okay. But he blinked and glanced at them, seeming to understand what they meant.
“I just… really hate when this happens,” he muttered. “I get all wound up and upset, and now everyone gets to see the Avatar of Gluttony being an idiot and crying because he didn’t have enough of his stupid snacks.”
His face was screwed up now, anger and disgust warping his features into an expression MC wasn’t sure they’d ever seen on him before. They’d never seen him so repulsed, not even when he found out about Lucifer trapping Belphie in the attic.
“Beel, you shouldn’t say such mean things about yourself. You’re not being an idiot, and your snacks aren’t stupid, you need them, and that’s okay. You shouldn’t beat yourself up about this, it’s not your fault,” MC said, putting a hand on his shoulder and squeezing it gently. But his words were still bitter when he answered.
“I bet none of my brothers ever cry about their sins. Why can’t I just be like that? Why do I have to burst into tears if I miss breakfast in the morning, or if someone eats the rest of something I saved for later? Why can’t I just calm down?” Beel muttered, wrapping his arms more protectively over his belly. His shoulders and legs were tensed up so hard MC wondered if it hurt, he looked like he was trying to curl in on himself. Even his wings were wrapped around him, all in an attempt to protect his middle. His muscles bunched even tighter as his stomach gave another pitiful grumble, and he squeezed his eyes shut.
MC sighed and reached over, pulling at one of his arms curled around him until he moved it away with a questioning glance at them. They moved their own hand in to replace his, pressing their palm to his belly. They could feel it rumbling continuously against their hand, and they began rubbing gentle circles into his middle, loosening the knots of pain as best they could. Beel almost instantly relaxed, melting against the cushions of the booth. The grumblings of his belly didn’t stop, but they didn’t seem to be as painful as before.
“Your brothers do cry, you know,” MC said. “Sometimes about their sins, sometimes about other things, just like you.” Beel looked up at them, his eyebrows raised.
“Really?” he said. MC nodded, shifting closer to massage deeper into his middle. He relaxed further, leaning his head back with a small sigh.
“They do,” they said. “Yours I think is the worst of them to be honest. It causes you physical pain, and affects you more often and worse I think than the others. But that doesn’t mean their sins don’t hurt them.”
Beel scoffed, looking away from MC and down at the empty table again.
“What could Mammon possibly be crying about?” Beel snarled. “Getting his credit card taken away?”
“Well… yeah,” MC said. “Mammon can’t control his want for things. It’s a bit like if someone took food away from you. Not quite the same since that would actually hurt you, but it still upsets him. And I mean… He doesn’t actually like how greedy he is. He knows it can hurt people, he just can’t really stop. And that makes him sad.”
“…He actually feels bad about that stuff? I always thought he didn’t care,” Beel said.
“He does,” MC said. “It’s the same with your other brothers. Lucifer is so prideful that when he messes up even a little it can send him spiralling. Levi, his envy can get so intense he feels like he’s all alone in the universe. He gets so jealous of other people that it can blind him to what he has. Satan gets so angry sometimes that he starts crying out of rage. Asmo cries because he feels so much love for people that it hurts to see them in pain. That and of course he gets angry at himself for being so vain. And I’m sure you’ve seen how upset Belphie can get when he hasn’t slept. I've seen him go to bed with tears running down his face after a whole day with no rest.”
“I have too,” Beel said solemnly. “I used to hug him when he couldn’t sleep after Lilith died. Even when I got hungry in the middle of the night, I’d hold him until he fell asleep. …Though I think sometimes he’d pretend to be asleep when he heard my stomach, that way I would go downstairs to get something. He always worried that I didn’t eat enough.”
His stomach growled pointedly right then, loud enough that Beel actually looked down at his belly in surprise before wincing in pain. Those chefs are really taking their sweet time getting his food here.
“Well he had reason to,” MC said, rubbing deep, soothing circles into the place where it seemed to hurt most. “Basically my point is that you’re not the only one who struggles with their sin. I think you struggle the most, but you’re not an idiot for crying over something that hurts.”
“Yeah, I guess so. I never knew my brothers got upset about that kinda stuff,” Beel said, and he shifted closer to them, laying his cheek on their head for a moment and careful to avoid hitting them with his horns. “Thanks for coming with me, MC. You’re the best.”
His words were simple but they made MC’s heart swell with happiness. They were so happy actually, that they may have lost focus and pressed a little too deep into Beel’s stomach. MC only realized this after he grimaced and stiffened up, a loud growl erupting from his middle, the hungry rumbles shaking their fingers before tapering off.
MC opened their mouth to apologize, but Beel was already waving it off with a miserable glance at his stomach.
“Don’t even, it’s not your fault,” he said. “I’m starving. It’s just so empty now, it feels like it’s trying to eat itself. The chefs must be really understaffed today or something, they usually have my food out by now.”
Not a second after he said that though, the rich, thick smell of a variety of foods suddenly got a lot stronger as several people made their way to MC and Beel’s booth. They were waiters, about ten in all, each carrying at least two platters piled high with food, if not more. MC could see burgers, fries, pizza, sushi, and then it seems for dessert they had platters full of Wicked Cupcakes and apple pie.
At the sight of the food MC was reminded that the whole reason they even found Beel eating dough in the kitchen was because they’d been craving a midnight snack, and their own middle shifted hungrily as they gazed at the platters. Their stomach had nothing on Beel’s though, which gave a long, desperate rumble under MC’s hand. He even put his hand over theirs, pressing it deeper into his belly in an attempt to soothe his hunger.
“Sorry for the wait,” one of the waiters said, giving a small chuckle at the look of surprise and desire on Beel’s face. “We wanted to bring it out all at once as a surprise!”
“Well you definitely surprised me,” Beel said, eyes wide as they set down the food in front of him, swallowing thickly at the scent of the burgers only a foot away. But suddenly he got a rather sad look on his face, and he squeezed his eyes closed. “I-I’m sorry, I can’t take all this, Lucifer would kill me if I bought this much food at once--”
“Beel, you misunderstand, it’s on the house!” a curly haired waiter said, giving him a quick pat on the shoulder after setting down a platter of apple pie.
“What?” Beel said, his eyes flicking open again, but staring at the waiter instead this time. “Why?”
“MC told us what happened,” the waiter answered. “And when you came in here you looked so upset, we wanted to do something special for you. You’re our oldest customer here, you were here buying food back when Hell’s Kitchen was small and struggling to stay open.”
“I remember when you found out we were on the edge of going out of business you bought all your meals here for weeks until business picked up again so we could keep everything afloat,” another waiter chimed in.
“And you’ve brought your brothers here for every birthday you’ve had since we opened,” said someone else.
“You’ve been here for us for years, Beel,” the curly haired waiter said. “We figured it was time we tried to pay you back.”
Beel stared at the waiters gathered around him for a moment, his mouth open but with no sound coming out.
“Thank you,” he said eventually. “Thank you, that… that means a lot.” He looked down, his face turning red as his voice cracked with emotion. Several waiters made noises of sympathy or an understanding chuckle, before they all suddenly gathered around the back of the booth, reaching forward to wrap their arms around Beel. MC laughed at the awkwardness of everyone pressed around them, but they could tell Beel was enjoying the affection immensely, a small smile widening on his face, a soft blush in his cheeks.
However, his belly had other plans.
A loud rumble suddenly sounded from Beel’s stomach, sounding quite empty, and desperate for the food in front of it. MC could feel his stomach shaking under their hand, and it was certain that anyone who’s arms or hands were near his belly could feel it too.
“Aww, Beel!”
“Your poor belly!”
“Jeez, you’re really empty aren’t you?”
“Poor thing!”
If it was possible Beel turned even redder, laughing a little nervously as MC patted his belly sympathetically.
“Sorry,” he said sheepishly. “I’m starving.”
“No shit,” said the curly haired waiter with a laugh. “We’ll leave you and MC to your food. You fill up, let us know if you need anything, alright?” Beel nodded, waving goodbye to the waiters as they returned to their jobs.
“Wow,” he whispered, staring at all the food. “I… fuck, I don’t even know where to start.” He sounded overwhelmed, but in a delighted, eager way. His belly gurgled excitedly, and he quickly reached out, grabbing the first thing his fingers touched, which happened to be a burger. He ate half of it in one bite.
“Mmmmf,” he said, letting his head fall back against the cushion as he chewed. When he swallowed MC could feel his stomach immediately start to churn and contract, breaking down the food rapidly. It seemed quite happy to finally have something to digest.
“Feel better?” they said with a small laugh as he shoved the rest of the burger in his mouth. Beel just nodded, a deep sigh escaping him after he swallowed. It was in that relaxed, blissful moment that Beel’s form changed, his horns and wings retracting, his clothes shifting from the leather of his demon form back to his soft pajamas he’d gone to bed in.
“Much better,” he said. He reached for a slice of pizza next, folding it in his fingers so the whole thing would fit in his mouth easier. He looked a bit like a chipmunk now, and MC laughed at the way his cheeks puffed out.
“How the hell do you fit all that in your mouth?” they said. Beel swallowed, with a bit of difficulty it seems, but his eyes were bright when he answered.
“Lots of practice,” he said. “Chubby Bunny was my favorite game when I was little. I always won, even with Mammon stuffing bunnies in his mouth like a maniac.”
“…Human world Chubby Bunny is very different from Devildom Chubby Bunny.”
Beel laughed, grabbing a plate of sushi and ignoring the chopsticks, instead just picking it up with his fingers and popping the roll in his mouth. Then he suddenly looked down at MC, glancing from their eyes to their hand still rubbing his stomach, and back.
“Do… you want me to stop?” they asked, a little confused.
“Huh? Oh, no, well, I mean--Weren’t you hungry?” he said, pushing another roll of sushi in his mouth. “You came to the kitchen because you were hungry, right? Here, you like apple pie, right?” Beel pushed the large platter of pie slices over to them, looking expectantly from MC to the pie and back. They smiled and thanked him, transferring a slice to their plate and starting to eat. When MC took the first bite he beamed in approval before continuing to eat his own food.
For a while there was silence, each of them too focused on their food to talk much, but after finishing their second slice of pie MC was starting to feel a bit sleepy again. They turned to Beel, wondering if he wanted to box up the rest of his food and eat it at home, but when they actually saw him, that was no longer at the forefront of their mind.
Beel had actually stopped eating, though not because he’d run out of food, in fact there were a few platters still untouched. No, Beel had stopped eating because there was a significant swell in his middle that definitely hadn’t been there before. His stomach was so full it had begun to press against his shirt, making it look a bit smaller than it was supposed to. He looked up at MC after a moment, hands over his stomach, and a sleepy little smile on his face.
“Think ‘m full now,” he said. “You weren’t lying when you said I’d be so full my shirt doesn’t fit right.” MC laughed, reaching over to press their hand into his belly again. It was still grumbling, but it was in a muffled, happy way now. They weren’t sharp noises, more soft and low, almost like the sound of a kitten purring.
“You sure sound full,” they said, massaging slow circles into his stomach. “You wanna head home? We can get boxes for the rest of your food, we can eat it for breakfast tomorrow.”
Beel nodded, but suddenly leaned over, pressing his cheek to the top of their head.
“Thanks for coming here with me. An’ for rubbing m’ tummy. That felt really nice, even when I was hungry,” he mumbled into their hair. MC laughed and patted his swollen middle.
“Well tell you what, when we get home I’ll rub your tummy all you want, how bout that?” they said. Beel made a small noise of delight and wrapped his arms around them in a tight hug.
It was the best hug they’d ever gotten in their life.
