⚜ Happy birthday @jaegerists ⚜
I wanted to color a light novel cap for you, but it turned out so horrible that I just gave up halfway. And then I was kinda stressing about what to do. Try picking another series you might like or stick to WangXian which you seem to like a lot. I always like sticking to my first present inspiration so I wanted to stick with WangXian. So I went for this template I used a few years back too. And combine it with the light novel art and quotes. I really hope you like it! It might look less interesting as a colored manga cap, but I promise you I spent a lot of time on it. It's still the same effort, if not more hahaha. Hope you'll have a lovely day~!

new beginnings - tom kazansky
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
tom 'iceman' kazansky x reader
Summary: Tom finds his pregnant wife in the heart of their shared home, the sight of her simply takes his breath away. Word count: 1,120+ Warnings: fluuuufffff, SERIOUSLY FLUFFY SOFT TOM, pregnancy, afab!reader (still working on gender neutral tone as best I can), assumptions about size (I play into the plus size side of things because I am plus size, but there's no direct mention), no use of y/n (just she/her pronouns) A/N: This is only rough edited by myself, I'm so sorry for any mistakes. (Im rusty as f*ck at fic writing) I've had this fic in my back pocket for months, please enjoy all the fluff. I'm head over heels for val kilmer as a person, and I'm well aware that the gif is not from Top Gun... this is however an aged up version of Commander Kazansky (;
Tom wasn't typically a man of many words, even after Top Gun and becoming a commander... He was still on track to becoming an admiral in a couple years and his stoic ice-cold exterior has carried him far in the Navy. No, there wasn't much that could get in his way now. 
Except for her.
She melted his every icy edge. Especially now that she's 7 months pregnant with his baby. The way she waddled around the sizable estate that he purchased the year they got married. It'd been nearly 7 years since that beautiful day, but Tom and his wife decided to focus on their separate careers before committing to living with little ones under foot. He was nearing his mid-to-late 30's now and with his career excelling, his mind constantly settled on imagining what her beautiful features would be like mixed with his. 
Would they get his ice-like stare or her warm bright irises that see right through to his soul? Would they get his pin straight hair that stuck up in all the wrong places or her beautiful, textured hair that fell beautifully in every light? 
His mind would run rampant every time he looked at her, his eyes never failing to trail up and down her whole figure. He would linger on her face, taking in how absolutely mesmerizing she was in the pregnancy glow before darting down to her ever-changing belly. It was very noticeable now, and the way she braced the underside of the bump softened his stare every time. Even through the literal growing pains of making a human, she looked ethereal. He subconsciously pulled his bottom lip between his teeth. Tom was fully convinced that she could never be more beautiful than she was in this exact moment. 
With a warm but soft chuckle under his breath, he stood slowly and made his way over to her. The book she'd been perusing at the kitchen counter happened to be a cookbook he got her for Christmas in the early years of their relationship. He'd assumed she must be craving something specific by the way she quickly flipped through the pages. He placed his hands over the tops of her shoulders, giving a gentle rub to the tense muscles in her shoulder blades and leaned in to kiss her neck. The smell of her conditioner and body wash from her shower this morning is almost intoxicating. His body was warm, causing her to lean back on his chest.
"You're absolutely radiant dear," Tom stated, a smile forming across his lips. "And absolutely distracting..." He hasn't been able to take his eyes off her since she entered the kitchen adjacent to the doors of his office. He'd been trying to get through some paperwork before finding her to ask what you might want for lunch as she graced her way into the heart of their shared home.
She was one of the only women that could ever truly take his breath away, though many tried. Even in a moment like this... with his wedding band heavy on her finger and growing the fruit of his love for her in her tummy, he still had to remind himself to breathe.
His large arms made their way down her body until they gently embraced her and her bump. He supported her belly gently, the same way the two had learned in the parenting classes Tom insisted on attending once she confirmed her pregnancy. The soft hum that escaped her throat told him that she needed this. Her eyes fluttered closed as he stood there, swaying gently with her in his arms.
“Blueberry.” Was the only thing that snapped the quiet of the moment between the two of them. Her words were soft in his ears. Tom raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he leaned forward to place his chin on her shoulder. The pages of the cookbook landed on a muffin recipe that had been dog-eared and made enough times to sport the stains of baking chaos. 
Another low chuckle reverberated through his chest. “Cravings?” Tom placed another gentle kiss on her neck as he slowly released his childbearing wife to turn to the refrigerator behind him. This recipe was one he was familiar with, having made it several times over the years. He grabbed out the bowl of blueberries, buttermilk, butter and eggs while his wife gathered the remaining dry ingredients. 
A quiet melodic sound filled the kitchen as Tom watched his wife pull up the large glass bowl from the cabinet. The smile spread across his face as he recognized their wedding song falling from her lips. “I wanna know what love is…”
Tom set the cold ingredients out on the counter, crossing the kitchen swiftly to pull her back into his arms. “I want you to show me…” He whispered to her, a hum parting his lips as he twirled her around slowly in the afternoon light of their kitchen. He mirrored her radiant smile as they slowly swayed together, her baby bump separating them a little more than usual but neither of them cared. 
After enjoying the embrace of her husband, Tom’s wife pushed him away gently as she resumed making the muffins lil’ kazansky was craving so badly. The blonde commander only laughed as he kissed her hand before parting their embrace. He too busied himself making muffins again wordlessly as he reached into the bottom drawer of the oven. Grabbing out the old muffin tin, he paused to preheat the oven as he lingered there for a moment.
Tom’s hand immediately found his wife’s lower back as he brought the tin over to the island countertop, using the other to place the white liners in each cup. A devious giggle caught his attention and before he could even blink, she’d managed to touch his nose with a flour-covered hand. His steely eyes closed suddenly as she swiped at his face, unable to hide the slow grin that parted his lips as he dipped his own hand into the bowl of flour. 
He laughed as he pulled her back from the counter slightly, his flour covered hand landing gently over the top of her baby bump. The white handprint was stark on her dark dress. The gasp that escaped from the woman in his arms only made him laugh harder as she rolled her eyes and shook her head at her husband’s antics. 
"What am I going to do with you, Thomas Kazansky? ” She said exasperatedly despite a smile growing on her face.
“Love me.” He said simply, his eyes gazing deeply into hers as he pulled her in close again. “And make muffins with me forever.” She laughed, her heart full, as she accepted his proposal.

Hi! I've been binge reading your Fae! series again and I had an idea that I just had to share with you.
Fae!Gary who is trying to ensnare a fantasy writer/editor darling who is constantly foiling his plans by accident.
He gifts them a book that he said reminded him of them? they hand him a book they just knew he'd love.
He gives them flowers to brighten up the office? she gives him a knowledge dump on what the bouquet means based on the language of flowers.
thanks for taking the time to read this! don't forget to get some water and a snack <3
Oh my God ROACH, the forgotten son. Chaos boy, gremlin man, low danger sense and impossible to kill. Yeah you can have a little Roach as a treat. I've tweaked this prompt a little for a librarian!reader, also with a few of my personal Roach headcanons.
It's always a slow day when he comes in. Always with a mask on and earbuds in. You smile and wave him over. He hardly needs the prompting, making his way quickly but purposefully to stand in front of your cart. He tugs an earbud free, and holds out a book to you. Hard canvas bound with yellowed pages, the front is painted with laurels of heather and honeysuckle. It's not one of the library's collection.
"Where's the book you took out?" You frown, glancing to see if he has any bags or is holding anything else. He shoves the book under his arm and digs through his pocket to pull out a notebook and nubby pencil. You wait for him to finish scribbling and show you.
"Already returned," He turns the page and keeps writing.
"So then this is...?" You're really just filling dead air, you assume he's going to tell you what it is. He has this preternatural ability to think conversations an extra sentence ahead.
"A present for you," He holds up the notebook, and you smile a little at the doodle in the corner. A little square with a bow on top.
"I have something for you too!" You grin, clapping your hands together. His brows draw together with a frown. "We were going through the books that we're going to sell soon and I saw this, made me think of you." You hold up a finger to tell him to wait and rush behind the front desk.
It takes a moment of digging to get the old book free but it's well worth it. You hold it up with an excited 'ta-da' and hurry back to your cart. He never tries to disguise his interest in your trades, and you can see the exact moment his eyes light up with excitement reading the cover.
"It's super out of date these days, but I thought-" He cuts you off with a few rapid hand movements. Ones you recognize easily.
"No, no, I love it." He signs, trading your gift for his. He eagerly cracks open the ancient entomology hardback. You feel your heart squeeze a little watching him trace his finger over a colorful illustration of a beetle. You finally look away to see what book he's brought you. It's a collection of old love stories from the region. Your heart squeezes a little tighter.
"You know it's silly, um," You start, not sure how to phrase what is so average for most people, "You keep coming in, and I feel like I know so much about you, but I don't know-" He looks up from the book, there's something colder in his eyes, something that warns against the question on your tongue, "-your name." You finish.
The look in his eyes makes you wish you could take it back, makes you feel like you've shattered whatever isle of peace you two had carved out for yourself. He looks back at the page he'd been reading and snaps the book closed. The sound makes you flinch. He balances his notebook against the hardback and scribbles something before opening the entomology book again. His eyes scan the pages as he flips through, before he finds what he's looking for, and turns both books for your approval.
The page is opened to a Roach, and the notebook reads "it's a nickname." You nod.
"Sorry I asked," You tell him. He shrugs. Then blinks, seeming to realize something. He glances down at his chest and scratches it, strangely you get the urge to itch as well. He can hardly get his notebook set up fast enough, and you jump to catch the entomology book when it slips from his grip. The notebook is shoved in your face almost as quickly as you can hold the book out to him.
"Do you like your book?"
"Oh! Yes!" You're realizing you haven't given his gift the attention it deserves. You grab the book off the cart and flip through it, skimming your finger over the table of contents. You recognize most of the stories, the classics, but not all of them. The paper is just a hair thicker than modern books, with filigree at the top and bottom edges speaking to its age. You wonder where he found something so beautiful. When you look up at him again his eyes are soft, brows drawn together in an expression you'd almost call lovesick.
"Would you want to get dinner some time?" You surprise both of you with the ask. Roach seems to light up all at once again, nodding excitedly. "Ok, um," You grab his pencil and lean to jot down your number on his notebook, he watches you like a hawk the whole time, "I have to get back to work, but text me when you're free and I'll-" He's leaned so close to you, solid and warm, his fingers cover yours as he takes his pencil back, making your brain stall a little. You don't know how you were going to finish that sentence.
"Ok," He says, and his voice is so low you hardly think you heard him at all.
"Ok," You agree. His eyes scrunch happily, and you return the smile. This is good. You have a good feeling about this.

TAGLIST: @help-i-cant-find-a-username @cherrybxmbby @fairyofhee @woozisnoots
You have done it.
And it was all because of stupid Park Sunghoon.
He infuriated you to your core and you can't even pinpoint the exact reason. But there were, in fact, a lot of reasons that annoyed you about Sunghoon. And maybe, just maybe, it was the way he kept throwing comments at you in class and the way you scowled at him before throwing the marker at his stupid face, or the way he constantly calls you those disgusting pet names and relishes in getting under your skin because he thinks your reactions are funny, or the way you had your knee in between his thighs the other day, threatening to cut his dick off if he ever bothered you again, only for you to be left fuming because he took one look at your threat as a cute challenge.
(Or maybe, it was that one time you kissed him in the dark at your boyfriend's birthday party and the way he was never going to let you live it down.)
You hated him, despised him, and absolutely fucking loathed him for existing and breathing the same air as you. Unfortunately today, your ego had just about enough to the point that it got both you and him in detention for "school violence" as the principal called it.
So now you're stuck here; trying to get the last of your homework done so you could go home and binge the entirety of Tomorrow on Netflix without the guilt of pending assignments lingering in the back of your head. The sound of a pen clicking over and over again against the wooden desk two tables away from where you are currently seated irritates you.
Your fingers grip the corners of your textbook, the page scrunching under your touch. You try to regain your composure. You let out a heavy sigh before plastering the best fake smile you could muster before turning to him. Sunghoon meets your eyes and he's already smiling, eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Please, will you stop making those noises," You weren't asking; it was a demand. "I am trying to get my work done. I don't know what the hell your deal is, Sunghoon, but you better stop it."
His lips curl into a smirk now. You feel like punching him again. "Yes, ma'am." He says while laying the pen down, flicking it and allowing it to roll off the table. Your eyes follow the object before they fly back to the boy, whose attention is now on some girl from a group of students who are also in detention. Typical Park Sunghoon , you think.
Feeling like he's some deranged vampire who has sucked every life energy out of your body, you huff yet again before stabbing your own pen into your braided hair twist before gathering your things, and heading out the library. You're loud. You're not exactly sure why you're slamming your hand or your book shut or deliberately taking out your frustrations on your school things but fuck detention, and definitely fuck Park Sunghoon. Your father could buy this school and his ass out in seconds anyway.
Sunghoon's eyes burn into you as you do this. You're aware and you want him to see it. Want him to see how infuriating his existence is to you. Want him to see how many alarms he sets off in your body and how all of them want you to hit him again. You do not miss the way his blurry figure gets up from his seat in your peripheral view, and that's when you know you got him.
It's only a few minutes later when you realise the thuds coming from your Prada loafers are the only ones resonating throughout the hallways of the academy. You stop for a bit, your mind debating whether you should look back, but alas, your body betrays you, turning you around. You immediately scan the floors and staircases for a glimpse of him, wondering if he's followed you out or if he's decided to leave too. He was there earlier, you could've sworn so.
Before you can gather your thoughts rationally, you find your heels dragging you back to the library, poking your head through the glass window and straining your neck in order to have a better look around the second you stop by the entrance. He's nowhere to be found.
"Looking for me, angel?"
You flinch, almost screaming before the realisation dawns on you that only one jackass would do this. God, help me , you thought. But because of the way you spun around to shove him for his piss behaviour, he swiftly garners the chance to pin your wrist above your head.
"Ew, don't touch me. I'm getting a cramp," Sunghoon chuckles as you yank your arm free from his grip.
"I don't bite, princess," You meet his eyes, drinking in the mischief that swirls around his dark eyes. "Unless you're into that."
Your breath hitches in your throat as you try to level it down. You hadn't noticed the way you've been holding in your breath. You've been in close proximity with him before so you don't understand why you're fighting the slow crawl of pink creeping up your cheeks. The arrogant smirk on his face doesn't falter for a second and you're already thinking of a haughty remark.
The realisation hits you like a truck when you catch up to the observation that anyone with half a brain would and could mistake you both as a couple with the way he suddenly inches closer, his hot breath fanning your skin. You gulp and you pray he didn't notice.
You were not about to show Park Sunghoon that he had some stupid effect on you. Over your dead fucking body.
You don’t know why you’re making it difficult for yourself honestly. There’s a way out for you, he hasn’t trapped you between him and the wall completely so you don’t know why you’re taking up his petty challenge and willingly allowing yourself to suffer.
“Aren’t you going to apologise to me, baby? You broke my face.” He feigns being hurt with his free hand caressing your cheek. You glare at him, swatting it away.
“All this trouble for an apology? Just say you’re obsessed with me and go.” You reply, inwardly cringing at the way your voice shook. Sunghoon shrugs and you decide that this isn’t worth your time anymore, and you knew that he wouldn’t bite back either. So you begin to walk away.
Park Sunghoon was full of shit and you knew it first hand.
Immediately, you feel a hand on your waist, pulling you and pinning you firmly back in place. You instinctively moan when you feel his knee prop up to your core, successfully trapping you. Your eyes widen when you realise and your hands fly up to your mouth. The boy towering over you grins, incredibly amused at the reaction you just made. Sunghoon switches his arm for the other, resting it on the wall next to your head. You were turning red. Hands curling into a fist with your fingernails digging crescent moons into your skin that were sure to bleed.
Sunghoon lowers his head down to the shell of your ear. “Look at you,” He says, huskily. His voice is low and you hate the way you can’t avoid the blooming pit in your stomach. "You always fall apart at the thought of me. You say you can't stand me but your body language says otherwise. What will Jay think of this when he finds out, hm?"
Your breath hitches in your throat as you stare him down. God, he’s so close he could kiss you and you might just let him. Might.
But you know you wouldn't. You're too stubborn to give in to your desires. You were always hellbent on not becoming like those stupid girls who looked like they were close to dropping their panties after Park Sunghoon gave them a smidge of his attention.
"Listen here, you prick," You grit your teeth as your fingers curl around his silk tie, yanking him to your eye level. "I don't know what sick game you're playing but you need to stay the hell away from me, Park."
"Scared you'll come crawling back for more?"
You snort. "As if."
"I'm not the one who just moaned at the mere contact of cold concrete against my skin and force,"
"True. But I'm not the one whining for a video call every night, am I?" There's something in him that flickers and you know you had the cards in your favour when you brought it up. Because now, Sunghoon's pulling you by your elbow and dragging you up the staircase leading towards the rooftop.
You don't get the chance to speak when he aggressively pushes you against the wall and pushes you down on your knees. You moan out of instinct, pain settling in and pleasure striking like lightning.
"Do you want us to get caught?" You run your hands further up his clothed thigh. Your fingers pass over his erection and to his fly.
"Maybe."
"God, I hate your ass."
Sunghoon stands over you while you undo his button, pull down the zipper, and tug his pants down about halfway. His eyes are fixated on you while you do this. "And I love yours."
Your eyes roll at his response but you appreciate it nonetheless. You can't help but think how pornographic your positions look like right now—clad in academy uniforms and all, while you get ready to give your annoying classmate the best blow of his life as if he didn't just give you three orgasms the other night. You prop yourself up a bit, leaning towards the erection that's straining through his boxer briefs. You kiss the head of his cock through the cotton. Sunghoon is sensitive, dick twitching upon your kiss, and your breath feels hot against all the fabric.
"YN…"
You pull his underwear down shamelessly, letting his erection free. You sigh with a bit of performance. "You know, it's kind of a shame," You say, "if I had only known that mouth of yours was good for something else other than pissing me off, I would've been better off with you."
"Was this why you kept looking for me the other day, angel? Finally bored with the boyfriend? I told you, princess—Fuck, I love your mouth—I already told you I was better," He fishes, and you lick a stripe up his shaft before flattening your tongue on the tip of his cock. "And I did make you cum more than he ever did during that night." He breathes.
You don't say anything else, slipping your mouth over the tip of his. Your tongue feels wet and so hot, swirling just around the head of Sunghoon's cock, pretty lips pressed against him. You pause to spit on your palm before beginning to work gentle strokes down his shaft. It's good, and for a little second, all he can think about is how he wants you to take him further into your warm, wet throat. You move slowly, your tongue almost teasing. The anticipation is intense.
"Hoon," you say as your hand works around his dick, massaging his balls occasionally. You stare up at him through your dark lashes, with those eyes you know that gets him going—and the boy's heart stops as you press another long kiss to his cock and say, "I like you like this. You look so pretty.”
You punctuate your words by taking him into your mouth, deeply—your tongue moving flat and firm against the underside of his shaft, hand squeezing the base of him. The feeling overwhelms him and he moans—well , it's a whimper, but the sound is honest.
You go down once, and take your mouth back off of him to say, "I’ve been thinking of us like this. In this same exact position."
Jesus Christ , Sunghoon thinks you’re out to kill him.
You speak some more, "Do you think about me like this?"
"Always," He manages as you flatten your tongue against the tip of his cock. Sunghoon heaves before you and you hum, loving the reaction—and to rile him up some more. A hand goes through your hair, strands falling from the makeshift bun you made with the pencil earlier, as you slide your mouth over his cock. Sunghoon doesn't have the words to articulate how good your mouth feels around him; how good you use your tongue while you move your head; how you're so hot, and how you want him. How you've been thinking about this—about him. His head's gone wild and it electrifies the slick heat of your lips, your tongue. Fuck , Sunghoon thinks. He's in heaven.
The ache in your knees begins to stir as you imagine the purples, blues, and greens forming bubbles of bruises on your flesh. A groan flies out of your lips when you lift one to move it aside, creating a gap between legs.
"You okay?" Sunghoon's voice rings in your ear and you think it's sweet that he asked.
"Don't worry about me, baby. I'm more than okay."
Your free hand, the one that's been caressing the boy's clothed thigh up and down, snakes away to disappear under your skirt. The slick noise that pokes out underneath almost makes Sunghoon choke. You're not wearing any panties.
Fuck—fuck, you're touching yourself.
"You're—ah—," he pants, and you look up at him. "Fuck. That's so fucking hot. Keep—keep touching yourself, princess. My good girl."
You moan around him, like you're really getting off on this, not letting up for a moment. He moans louder in return, just so you'll hear him, just so you'll keep touching herself. It’s hot. It’s so hot. You both don't even care anymore.
You rock against your own hand as you swallow his cock, messy and fast, and it's starting to overwhelm him in a way he desperately wants to give in to.
Before he can truly consider it, he tugs on your hair, and says, "YN—stop—, "
You meet his eyes, and there's a moment where he doesn't think you will. And he can't remember why he wanted you to.
But you do, sliding your mouth excruciatingly slowly off of his cock, your tongue feeling every inch of him on the way.
"Fuck." He shudders, missing your mouth badly as the cool air hits the spit drying on his cock. "You drive me crazy."
"I want you to cum for me," You whisper, and he hisses, still closer to the edge than he wants.
You're moving so relentlessly that it's hard for him to track the sound of your fingers rubbing your clit, so he tries to focus on the difficult task of cumming, instead of the distracting, maddening slick heat of your cunt.
Very quickly it becomes too much. Embracing the point of no return, he drives his hips up to meet up yours and groans the moment the head of his cock meets the back of your throat, loving the way you gag around him.
He comes so hard he can't think.
Sunghoon's digs his hands into your scalp and moans, head thrown back against the window, sweat sticking his hair to his neck as he loses himself inside your mouth. He loses count of the hot pulses of cum that rush through him.
You release him with a pop before licking another stripe up to the head and giving it a kiss. He tells you to open your mouth and you do, sticking out your tongue to show that you've swallowed all of him.
"That's my girl."
"I hope that was okay, though," You say after a while and he runs his thumb over your cheek, where your tears have dried.
Sunghoon curls down to kiss you, hard, and it's not enough. You sigh and you force yourself to stand, ignoring the pain on your knees, and shimmying up to his body. He clings to you, pressing his mouth into every part of you he can reach, as if he’s never been able to kiss you before. He wants to laugh with the feeling of just getting something he wants. And whether Sunghoon has realised it or not, he wants nothing else but you.
"More than okay. Don't you doubt it for a minute."

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO.
(𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝 “𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧,” 𝐛𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐳 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬.)
𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐒.
SIN SLIPPED HER FINGERS IN BETWEEN THE PAGES of the large book, focus intensely on the words she’d studied at this point. The loud sounds of men’s voices taunting each other didn’t bother her as they threw the ball in between one another, scattering across the court like insects. This had been her fourth time reading the same passages of information. She wanted to understand the process of her transition, she just wished she didn’t have to be aware of how painful it’d be.
Days had passed with the same routine, but instead this routine wasn’t so bad in Sin’s eyes. Once Mariah had pack duty she began going back to her room, leaving Sin in the option of going back to her own room as well or staying with Aries. It dreaded to admit to herself that she didn’t want to be alone. She would sleep in the bed while Aries slept on the floor for a while, but when three nights of storms came over the trees of Providence— Sin couldn’t stop thinking about the way Aries’ warm skin felt relaxed in her palms as they laid together.
It felt like multiple fever dreams. With everything going on, at times she felt like she didn’t have anyone to talk to—yet Aries was there. She didn’t mind it.
“Hey, I think your boyfriend is trying to steal my best friend. Although Elijah can be a pain, I miss him.”
Sin raises her eyes up, looking across from her at Trey who stands with his arms cross and Buffy who stands next to him. She wants to say that he looks like a child. Instead she suppresses that thought,  glancing behind him at the men continuing their game.
She brings her eyes back to him, “My boyfriend?”
“Cloud?” Trey lowers his eyebrows.
“Oh. He’s not my boyfriend, don’t think he ever will be actually,” she brings her eyes back to the men behind them, closing the book over her fingers.
“What do you mean? I thought yall was cool.”
“He just hasn’t been talking to me, I don’t really know how to answer that question.”
“Which makes sense because he’s been hogging my best friend!” He throws his arms out.
“Man, I miss hanging out with everyone! Now it’s constantly Pheme, Nadia and Cloud together.”
“You’ve been hanging with them?” Sin raises her eyebrows, Trey nods his head to her question.
“You haven’t been?”
“Well have you seen me with them, Buffy?” Sin then takes the bookmark she has beside her hip, placing it in the page she held.
“No, not really. I just didn’t know. So who have you been hanging with then?”
As if she knew to pop up at this exact moment, Sin hears a squeal as a body bumps into hers on the bench. The fruity smell amongst Mariah’s body is becoming a familiar scent to Sin’s nose.
“Hey-hey. I went to the store and look what I got!” She talks excitedly, ripping the object out of the plastic bag and placing it on Sin’s lap.
“Wax strips! Way less painful and more efficient than hot wax. I thought it’d be perfect for you, and I got them in pink! Actually I think you’re more of a red girl but I couldn’t find that color,” Mariah’s mouth continues to eject words, coming out as quickly as she thought about them.
Buffy and Trey look like they’d seen a ghost, staring with tilted heads as the two previous enemies sat together. Sin takes the box in her hands and begins to read over the instructions.
“Y’all are…” Trey begins, eyes going back and forth between both bodies.
“What? You ain’t never seen two bad bitches conversing?” Mariah questions.
“Pack meeting!” Beta Joseph’s deep voice rumbles the floors of the entire Training-Building. All eyes look over the railing onto the first floor, seeing as he continues to yell the same two words until everyone begins moving.
Sin holds the book to her chest as she follows behind Buffy and Trey, Mariah becoming impatient at their slow trampling down the hall. She then grabs Sin’s hand and drags her until they enter the room. Sin’s eyes glance over the familiar faces, feeling a shift in her stomach as she catches Cloud and Aries who stand next to each other. Blue stands beside the two as well, talking to the twins. She briefly stares at Pheme and Nadia who sit at the back of the room, making sure she doesn’t make eye contact with them.
She wants to protest as Mariah puts them right in front of Aries and Cloud, but says nothing as she then decides to keep her eyes on Adonis. She can feel Cloud staring at her.
“I wanted to inform you that you all will be taking a pack trip to Orioch. Fern and Sol have invited us to the grand opening of their casino,” Adonis’ voice is assertive, making sure he has everyone’s full attention.
“Leprechaun’s and they’re just now opening a casino?” Blue thinks out loud.
“Did you see a casino when we was there?” Aries asks, immediately becoming irritated with his best friend's question.
“You know sometimes you can be voluntarily mean?” He replies with another question.
“Anyways, it’s going to be a round trip so make sure you have all your things packed. Dress decent!— just don’t go looking like hood ass kids—as y’all normally do—okay?” Aria interrupts.
“Not even a sweatshirt?” Elijah raises his hand.
“No,” both Aria and Adonis say.
“Even if it’s cashmere? It’s navy blue, I can make it look nice.”
Adonis blinks. He then sighs as he looks around and says, “Everyone just—go get ready.”
A TYPE OF EXCITEMENT FILLS THE AIR. Everyone seems thrilled to get out of Providence, to do something that doesn’t require them to train or prepare to fight. Sin stands in the mirror as she does a head to toe scan of her body, making sure she removed all areas of hair that were growing quicker than before.
She adjusts the leather coat that drapes over her figure, censoring the sheer mesh of her black dress that molds along her body. The coat covers her breast in a bit of modesty— torso stretching down to the thong that synced around her hips. A new color frames her round face and brown lips, cobalt hair falling along her shoulders in lazy waves.  She felt entirely seductive. Then again, that could’ve just been the shot of D’usse she took to calm her nerves.
She hoped that tonight was a night where everything went well. She didn’t want to fight, argue or cuss out any of her friends even if they weren’t on the best of terms. Maybe all being jumbled into one area could give them enough time to talk, Sin couldn’t lie that she missed the happiness they brought to her.
She also remembered when Mariah told her that it was okay to be angry at them—specifically “Fuck them,”— but that didn’t mean that’s what she wanted or how she felt. Thinking of Mariah, she then realized that she had her mascara and wanted it back before they took off to Orioch.
Exiting her room, she stumbles in the grass as she curses for not waiting to put on her heels until they arrived in Lafayette. She closes the door behind herself to the Training Building, looking around at all the nicely dressed pack members. She saw silk dresses and skirts, but she also saw denim jeans and perfectly styled oversized shirts. Everyone had their own style, be damned if there was any dress code. A smile comes to her face as she also sees Elijah standing in front of a girl he talks to, wearing his cashmere sweatshirt.
She continues through the hallway as she assumes Mariah may be with Adonis and Aria, ignoring the eyes that stare at her as she passes multiple doors. As she’s about to lock her hand around the knob, the door swings open. She brings her eyes up to the long locs hanging around his face.
“Oh,” she breathes in Cloud’s aroma, “Hey.”
“Hey,” he presses his lips together. Bringing his eyes over her face, he quickly scans the rest of her body as he’s used to her risky wardrobe. Through all of that,  at this moment it felt like seeing her for the first time.
“You look nice,” he compliments. It almost feels unnatural to hear in Sin’s ears.
“Oh—Um, thank you,” is all she can say.
“How have you been feeling?”
“Well before I answer that, I just wanna apologize for the way I acted the last time we saw each other. It was uncalled for to lash out on you and Pheme. Or Nadia.”
“Yeah…”
She became unsettled in her stance, she wasn’t sure if it was from the uncomfortable heels or the fact that he was still being completely closed off.
“Well how have you been?” She pushes to continue the conversation.
“I’m cool.”
“Okay, well maybe tonight we can find a quiet place to talk. If you’re ready for that. I can explain what’s been going on with me and—“
“I think I have a paper due. I should go turn that in,” he speaks out loud, talking more to himself.
“Yeah! Yeah. No problem. Um, so tonight?” She reminds him, trying to put a smile along her face.
“Yeah, maybe we can find some time later. I gotta go find Trey.”
“Sure! Okay. Sure. Yeah, okay,” she repeats as he walks away. A smile actually does come along her face now, she feels as though they’re making some type of progression even if it’s nothing major. The door opens behind her as she sighs contently to herself, patting her palms along the leather she wears. As she goes to make it into the door, she jumps as she doesn’t realize the body behind her.
“Shit,” she presses her hand against her chest, “Why does everyone do that to me?”
“My bad,” Aries apologizes. The way Cloud glanced over her body wasn’t the same way Aries studied hers, something in him scratching at the surface at how appealing she looked. Sin could feel her body becoming warm as he said nothing and only stared. She then teased, “Need to take a picture?”
“Where the hell you going in this tight ass dress?” He grips the leather material in his fingers, pulling her forward.
“My business?” She shoots back, “I was gonna go ask Mariah if she had my mascara— wait, what’s wrong with my dress? You’re still not ready, where the hell are you going?”
She glances down at him, seeing as he stands in one of his usual black muscle shirts, a chain never missing around his neck. Her skin became hotter.
“To shower. You tryna’ come?”
When his face comes closer to hers, she blinks as she’s stunned at the offer. She asks, “Come where?”
“On me.”
“Stop playing with me, Aries.”
“You see me laughing?”
He’s right, there was no chuckle or full on laugh anywhere in his question. Is he flirting? He’d never been this up front about it.
“You in heat or something?” Sin squints.
A chuckle actually does come from his lips—and it’s very attractive— his hand coming around her hip as their chests now press together. “Nah, you just look good.”
“Well a compliment simply would have sufficed. Anyways, Adonis needed the book back. So I’m coming. But not to your room.”
“Not to my room?” He repeats, feeling her hand against his chest and Sin embarrassingly giggles.
“Not to your room. Bye boy,” she brings her hand to his face, mushing him away. He turns around as he walks away from her, bumping into a girl who glares at him as they crush together. He curses, pressing his lips together and giving one more sheepish smile before he disappears around the corner. Sin rolls her eyes as she can’t help but smile to herself. But once she began to think about how the hell she was going to get Cloud to at least open up to her and accept Aries’ advances, her smile dropped. This was going to be a long night.
THE DRIVE TO ORIOCH WAS QUICK. Everything felt like it was happening all at once, but in the best way. Entering the double doors of the tall building that lit up like a golden Christmas tree, Sin’s eyes didn’t know where to start.
Velour staircase covered in maroon and trimmed sequence, carved all the way up to the second floor where the actual casino presented itself. She glanced as they passed a ridiculously large wine cellar, cabinets of blood red and cream colored bottles. When she looked down to the black marble bar they had set up, she also saw the infinite amount of liquor they had as well. Blinding chandeliers swung from the ceiling, matching the Diamond spindles that glittered as everyone climbed upstairs.
An even bigger room was welcomed to their eyes, voices overthrowing the music that played in the background. Miraculous colors gleamed inside and out of the slot machines all over the building. Poker tables were placed in different areas as people dressed in costumes or plain gold, green complimenting every outfit. Fairies flew around the ceiling, fanning and flaunting the dollar bills in their hands. The leprechauns played in their wonderland of games, a dance floor placed in the middle as others moved their bodies amongst one another. Sin noticed that they’d also invited Dryad’s, the beautifully green women and men complimenting rich yellows.
“Now—because this is a grand opening everything is free of charge, just don’t drink up all my shit,” Fern smiles at everyone, gold tooth glinting in Sin’s eyes.
“And don’t lose all your money! But if you do, all charity will be going to these pockets!” Sol smiles, pressing his hands against his orange dress pants.
“There’s slot machines, poker tables, a seating area where our girls perform a burlesque show, and a jacuzzi!” Fern clasps his hands together.
“Why do you have a jacuzzi in the middle of your casino?” Buffy frowns.
“Why wouldn’t we have a jacuzzi in the middle of our casino is what you should be asking,” he winks, “Anyways. Have fun!”
As everyone passed Sin to go wherever they pleased, she noticed Cloud talking to Electra as she pointed towards the burlesque show, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the open door where security stood. She felt something in her heart being squeezed at the sight, but instead of sadness, she felt a little pissed off.
“C‘mon! Standing here like you waiting for someone,” Mariah then interrupts her thought, pulling her away from everything that bothered her at this moment. She figured, fuck it, tonight was gonna be a great night. Damn whatever Cloud had going on.
Going into the rest of the night with that mentality, for the longest time she for once felt like she was genuinely enjoying herself. She was about five shots of Patrón in, a little giddy that she’d won about forty dollars playing a game of Poker. She didn’t realize how much fun Mariah actually was, open to any opportunity and also getting them free drinks from attractive Dryads hanging around the bar. The rivalry between Blue and Mariah was also another source of entertainment for the night as they’d played multiple rounds of BlackJack, Mariah taking almost all of his money.
To top everything off, Aries had also been a source of her joy. Not in the same way. The innocent way he placed his hand on her jaw and moved her hair out of her face, the way he’d also wrapped his arm around her neck from behind as they watched Mariah and Blue argue over who was lucky enough to pull the lever of a slot machine— all of the flirtatious energy she felt from him, it felt good to see him so comfortable around her. She figured maybe it was because he was just as drunk as she felt herself becoming. But she’d only seen him take one shot.
If she considered herself drunk, Cloud was nearly blacked out. He’d watched her the entire night. He hadn’t seen her have this much fun in a long time, but he wished it was without seeing her be under Aries’ claws all night. He was practically taunting him. Whispering in her ear, making her laugh, touching her.
“Hey, Cloud. You good?” Trey yells from across the Poker table, bottle in one hand as he has his other occupied with a honey-blonde haired girl.
When Pheme notices the expression in his face, it reads a complete sense of rage. His aura is a dark red, murky and covering the pure green she’d seen before. She follows where his eyes stare and now see Aries, Sin, Mariah and Blue seated on top of an empty Poker table sharing a brown liquor bottle.
“Cloud?” Pheme repeats.
When she goes to place her hand on his arm to get his attention, she jumps as he rips it away. He’s already stalking over to the group, Nadia giving Pheme a worried look as she quickly follows behind him.
“Cloud—“
“Oh shit, it’s my Pisces brother Cloudeous! How about a shot?” Blue exclaims, pushing the bottle towards him.
“I’m good” he replies, Blue feeling his energy immediately.
Blue frowns. “Damn. My bad then—“
“Cloud, what’s wrong?” Sin asks, hopping off of the table as Aries looks just as confused.
“I’m good. Continue to flirt with this mutt ass motherfucker, maybe if you’re nice enough he’ll fuck you. Choke you in a way you’ll like.”
“ ‘Fuck you just called me?” Aries stands, Sin placing her arm in front of him as she frowns at Cloud’s words. She can see him swaying a bit, holding up his posture better than expected.
“Cloud. You’re drunk. Do you want me to get you some water?”
“I don’t need shit from you, Sin.”
She can’t believe how he’s acting. She stands there with her eyebrows raised, watching as he stomps off down the stairs into the area of the wine cellar. She takes off towards him, not realizing as everyone follows behind her.
“Cloud!” She calls, seeing as he stops in his tracks and turns towards her, Sin coming down the steps, he nearly feels the heat coming off of her skin.
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
“What the hell is wrong with me? I’m over here tryna’ give myself time to heal from everything so I can open up to you. You over here tryna’ fuck this dude as if our relationship doesnt matter? Our friendship doesn’t fucking matter?”
“I never said you didn’t matter, Cloud.”
“So you are trying to fuck him?”
“That’s not the point, or your business. What me and you have has nothing to do with Aries. I care about you and want you to open up to me, but the moment I expected you to do so you pushed me away. I can’t force you to do anything you don’t want,” Sin explains, arms crossed over one another.
“So that means you just go find someone else?”
“That’s not what I said. Just like you needed your time away, I needed your comfort! I’m sorry for finding it in someone else, but we needed something from each other that neither of us received. While you’re claiming you needed time to heal, you confided in my best friend!”
“I’m not romantically confiding in her, Sin! That’s the fucking difference,” he comes closer, Sin looking atop of his head as she begins to see cotton-ball like shapes fluffing over his hair, the ivory seeping into a gloomy grey.
“Oh shit, he’s really upset,” Calypso mutters from the top of the stairs.
“For real,” Jupiter agrees, placing the blunt in his hand behind his ear.
“We haven’t seen a rain cloud come atop of his head since we were kids,” Elijah mutters.
Aries and Mariah look to Blue, the three of them unaware that this was even a thing at all. They stay in silence.
“You’ve been pushing me away for nearly two months! What were you expecting me to do?” Sin questions, feeling her palms beginning to shake.
“Well I just needed to be alone! You don’t know what the fuck happened in that cell.”
“I would know if you just told me!” She shouts, feeling a burn in her eyes and throat as tears fight to suppress themselves.
His entire energy of rage shifts, he’s now eerily calm as he stands in front of her. The weather above his head continues to spout, his upper half completely dry as lighting snaps along the raindrops.
“Sin, get the fuck away from me.”
“No! I’m tired of this. You want me to be there for you but then you don’t all at the same time, we’re gonna have this conversation. Just tell me what happened.”
She reaches for his hand, but when he yanks her forward enough for their noses to touch, her heart jumps as his eyes are empty, slightly wide but completely cold.
“Get. The fuck. Away. From. Me. Never speak to me again. You can go be with him for all I give a fuck.”
Sin knows that he’s intoxicated. Everyone knows that he’s intoxicated. But the way everything rolls off his tongue like poison, they feel as though this comes from a sober place. She can barely see his face at this point, unable to breath as her nose becomes stuffy.
“That’s what you want?” She asks, voice barely above a whisper.
“That’s what the fuck I want,” he replies. Means it. He throws her hand back, the strength of his anger causing her to stumble back and she smacks against the ground, scraping the back of her foot.
The sting of her achilles aches, tears now running down her face as the heat of embarrassment draws over her. Instead of immediately getting up she removed her heels, rubbing the pain of her foot to distract the fact that everyone had watched what just happened.
“Sin, are you alright?” Elijah beats everyone else down the stairs and grabs her hands, lifting her off the ground as he takes her heels in his other hand.
“I—I’m fine,” she mutters, keeping her head down as tears continue dripping onto her outfit. She doesn’t want anyone else to know she’s crying as hard as she is, unable to wipe her face. Tears continue to blind her vision.
“Sin?”
She blinks, looking behind her as she now sees Pheme standing with a frown upon her face. Every sense of anger Sin had for her came shooting up like vomit, she couldn’t hold it anymore.
“Now you fucking care?” She asks, voice louder than before. Pheme flinches at her voice.
“All this time I’ve been trying, the one person I needed to be there for me didn’t even try. We all went through something that day, I know this. But I don’t fucking deserve that. I didn’t fucking deserve that!”
“I know that.”
“You know that? That’s all you have to say? Fuck you!” She trembles, barely able to get the words out. She breaths harshly, wanting to capture her pride back. But she can’t. When she looks back and sees the audience from above with worried faces, she feels her skin boiling, knowing that her body is steaming. Pheme stares at unusually green eyes, clear tears dropping from them in an unstoppable force.
She takes the heels from Elijah’s hand as she walks steadily towards a door that has a smoking area sign against it. Exiting quickly out of the building, she presses her back against the door as she closes her eyes, the scene replaying in her head over and over. She then limps over to a bench, not wanting anyone to see how in pain she actually was from the fall. She collapses in her own lap as she cries harder, throwing her heels across the ground. All of the frustration and pent up irritation she had from each of her friends, it all came out in less than ten minutes. She wishes everything had turned out differently.
Her crying prevents her from hearing the door open again and close, Sin too tired to lift her head up to see who it was as she then felt a presence.
Mariah sat beside her in silence. She tapped her fingers along her white dress as she pressed her lips together, only listening to Sin cry beside her. She thinks.
“Heyyy…” Mariah sings.
Sin takes her palms away from her face, eyebrows over her glossy eyes as she asks, “Have you never had a friend or something? Why are you always here?”
“No, actually. I’ve never had a girl-friend,” she sighs. She then takes the opportunity to slide herself closer to Sin’s body, now only an air of space between them. She then opens her arms as she clicks her nails together, “Hug?”
Although this is the last person she wanted to confide in right now, she needed the comfort. She then wraps herself around Mariah as she begins to cry again, Mariah flinching so she makes sure her face isn’t pressing against her chest. She rubs her palm in circles on her back as she coos, “There-there. Awe. You’re really sad.”
“No shit,” Sin cries harder.
“You should know these men ain’t shit, beloved.”
“You don’t know our history, Mariah. If he was just some random guy I wouldn’t be reacting like this.”
“Well, maybe that’s just what he needs to be—history.”
“How can you be so nonchalant to everything?”
“Um— I don’t know? The Moon Goddess?” She shrugs. Sin lifts her head up with a look of confusion. Mariah then presses her back down as she puts her hand on the back of her head, patting lightly.
“Console, console, console. Is it working?”
“Not if you keep saying it out loud,” Sin mutters.
A moment of Sin crying and Mariah back in silence goes between them, Sin then pulling herself back as she lightly wipes her face to not completely destroy her makeup. Mariah tilts her head, trying to think of what to do next.
“ I like this buss-down,” Mariah compliments.
Sin looks at her, sniffling as she continues, “This is a great choice of color. Goes amazing with your skin. Is this Azure?”
“It’s cobalt,” Sin suddenly feels tears coming out of her eyes again, back to her crying.
“Oh! Shit, okay, sorry. The hillbillies taught y’all specific colors. That’s cool. Um, are you sure it isn’t Azure?”
“Why are you still talking?” Sin quivers, patting her face with her hands.
“Right, you’re right. Um— okay, yes cobalt blue! Where’d you get it from?”
“AlieExpress.”
“Oh—you know what that is!” Mariah exclaims, clapping her hands.
“I made it myself,” Sin breathes out, finally feeling like she’s calm.
Mariah blinks, “You make wigs?”
“Yeah. Pheme taught me,” she presses her knuckles into the corners of her eyes, wiping the access tears away.
“Love that for you. And me. I needed someone to help me with my hair,” Mariah hums, running her fingers through the blue curls.
“Why are you touching me?”
“My bad,” Mariah rolls her eyes, “Ugh. This girl-friend thing is kinda hard. Do we keep talking about it? Or?  Ooh! I hear some of the fairies are doing lines of coke by the car, hmmm? How does that sound?”
“I’m not that damn sad, Mariah!”
“Okay, jeez. What about LSD?”
“Mariah.”
“Okay, okay. Where’s your emergency blunt stash?”
“I forgot to roll some before I left. But I do have this,” she then reaches into the tendrils of her hair, pulling out what looks to be a brownie. The pungent smell of the object fills the aroma.
“You just..took that out of your…where did the edible come from?” Mariah questions.
“I made a compartment in the back of my wig.”
“You have compartments in your wig…like sections in a grocery store,” Mariah mutters to herself, “That’s scarily convenient. Anyways, break me off a piece of that—“
“Ain’t this for me?” Sin makes a face.
“This is for we,” Mariah corrects, “Ain’t we besties now? You’re supposed to offer.”
“You’re supposed to wait.”
“…I stopped, didn’t I? Hand it over?” She lifts her hand, awaiting for the snack.
Sin rolls her eyes, looking down as she separates the brownie into a large piece and the rest being almost a half. Her voice leaves her body as Mariah takes the bigger piece for herself, stuffing it into her mouth in a savage manner.
“I was giving you the smaller piece,” Sin huffs.
“Oh,” Mariah muffles, chewing anyways. “You want it back?” She goes to reach into her mouth.
Sin makes a disgusted noise as she raises her hands, “Keep it babe, keep it.”
They chew on their pieces in silence, swallowing the sugary desert and not tasting the skunk-like scent they’d endured before. Sin eyes Mariah a couple of times, feeling as though a “Thank you,” would transition this conversation back inside.
“Well uh…I’m not sure what else needs to be said so— wanna go play Spades?” Mariah suggests.
“Spades? In a casino?”
“This is black people we’re talking about. Of course there’s Spades! Or, we can find more Dryads or leprechauns to pay for our drinks while we wait for this edible to hit.”
“You know what? I like that idea,” Sin stands up, adjusting her dress to reach her mid thighs. She opens her palm as she sways it over her cheeks , the darkness of the sky allowing Mariah to see the assembly of glitter glisten around Sin’s doll-like face. She also hears the shimmer of it whisper in the night. When she blinks, Sin’s face looks to be perfectly untouched, makeup as fresh as it was before they arrived.
“And when the fuck were you gonna tell anyone you could do that?” Mariah asks.
“Mind yours. Let’s get fucked up!” Sin cheers.
The two race towards the door with impish grins, preparing for their mission. The door opens as they’re about to enter, the familiarity of the tall men standing across from them making Sin want to curse.
“Where y’all headed?” Blue greets, foolish red and black top hat lazily falling over on his head. He also wears a fiery orange beard, the same bottle in his hand from earlier glued to his palm. Aries stands beside him, unaware that he looked so good in a black long sleeve and numerous amounts of gold jewelry. He must’ve gotten something new from Sol and Fern, a pure and expensive looking gold necklace that matched his fronts. She didn’t know if it was the edible or the liquor talking, but he was just what she wanted to finish off the night.
“Where did you get that from?” Sin laughs, Blue swaying his hips from side to side as he hummed the music from inside.
“Gift shop.”
“You spent money in the gift shop?” Mariah questions.
“Broke off a little sum-sum’ winning a game of BlackJack. I was feeling lucky,” he winked.
“Blue, shut up for a second. Where y’all been?” Aries asks, looking between the two women that hold hands. He’s more confused then he feels like he should be.
When Mariah doesn’t hear Sin immediately reply, she figures it wasn’t her place to explain the girl’s breakdown. Sin then answers the question with another one as she asks, “Y’all gonna buy me some drinks, or what?”
“What?”
“Do you wanna get me a drink?” She asks slower, “You’re gonna get me a drink,” she then corrects herself.
“Blue? You wanna get us some drinks?” Mariah asks as well, Aries confusion only deepening.
“I mean shit, I don’t see why not!” Blue shrugs, “Let’s be out!”
The three then cheer, dancing as they make their way back into the building. A hand captures Sin’s wrist as Blue and Mariah close the door behind themselves.
“You okay?” Aries asks, concern replacing his questionable stare.
“I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be? We getting drinks,” she reminds him.
“Do you want a drink or do you want to talk?”
“Aries, please. Did I say I wanted to talk right now?” She twists her wrist out of his hand. He notices that she sways a bit in her stance similar to Cloud, but she hasn’t drunk as much as he probably did.
“You know you can talk to me,” he takes her hand back, placing their fingers together.
“Great. We can talk—after my drink, yeah?” She feels floaty, she can’t remember the conversation she’d just had.
Aries pushes out a sigh. He realizes that he’s not breaking down that barrier at the moment, deciding not to push farther.
“What kind you want?”
“That’s what I like to hear, come my love,” she purrs. Grasping the bottom of his face, she pulls him inside the building as he can’t help but laugh at her unusual giddiness.
“Sure you ain’t fucked up enough?”
“Mmm, don’t know. Let’s test the theory.”
That’s exactly what she did. Shot after shot became an amount that she couldn’t count on her fingers, she’d look into a spell book on remedies for alcohol poisoning the next day. Any problem that happened that night would be figured out in the days to come, but right now all she wanted was this moment. Maybe she’d talk to Aries when she was ready. That was if she remembered the last conversation they had that night.

89. Spare, by Prince Harry
Tumblr media
Owned: No, library Page count: 407 My summary: The memoir of Prince Harry - youngest son of Charles and Diana, spare to the throne. Join him as he recollects his young life, starting with the death of his mother and travelling through school, the army, royal commitment, and his marriage to Meghan Markle. My rating: 3/5 My commentary:
Hoo boy. A good few months ago, this was the hottest ticket at work. Everyone wanted to know what Prince Harry had to say about his family, about Meghan Markle, about Megxit, about everything that had happened between him and the rest of the royal family. Now, disclaimer here: I am absolutely anti-royal, but I believe that one of the best things an active member of the royal family can do is quit, and Harry did in fact do that. He still benefits from a ton of hereditary wealth and privilege, but of all the Windsors he seems the closest to realising what a bad thing that really is. Well, sort of. This memoir and this man confuse me deeply (which is why this post's going to be longer than average) and I'll explain why under the cut.
So first off - as I said, I find Harry to be the most sympathetic of the royals, and I did ultimately find him to come across as sympathetic here. Regardless of any other factors, the loss of your mother in such a traumatic way at such a young age is going to mess you up, particularly if you are forced to keep interacting with the thing that killed your mother; the paparazzi. Yes, there is a certain element that the royal family will naturally receive higher attentions from newspapers because of their status, but that shouldn't extend to hounding them literally everywhere. People are still entitled to a private life. And particularly later on, when he starts detailing the absolute nightmare the press put Meghan Markle through - there's some controversy about how accurate his claims are, which I'll get to in a minute, but you just need to have been in the UK when 'Megxit' was happening to know how terribly the media treated her. Especially in contrast to Kate Middleton, who was often praised for the exact same things they used to demonise Meghan. And the attitude of the Crown towards her and towards their children is despicable. Harry really comes across in these sections as a man genuinely baffled by how terribly his wife is being treated, and incredibly defensive of her, just trying to look out for his family and his wife. Which is commendable, honestly.
And yet. Especially in the earlier parts of the book, Harry pretty much presents himself as a spoiled little rich boy. He constantly namedrops people (So Meghan and I took the family to Elton John's house), and doesn't seem to understand some of the privilege he was accustomed to. He keeps referencing the places he's lived in, justifying them with 'oh, it's not a real palace' kind of thing, but like...it's still worth more than I'll ever see in my life. He justifies the wearing a Hitler costume incident or being caught on video saying racial slurs as him not knowing how bad it was - okay, sure, I can totally buy that his family are just that level of casually racist, but he was in his 20s at the time. He angsts about not being deployed in the Army because he's too high-profile a target (and therefore a bullet magnet) but not once does he seem to consider that yes, he is placing people's lives in danger just by being there, this isn't a game. And it's notable that, to hear him tell it, Harry never really did anything wrong and has always been a victim. People have come forward disputing some of Harry's claims, some of which cast him in a negative light - he's claimed that Meghan bought gifts for her staff and was generally kind, other people claimed that she had a habit of blanking people and that her behaviour was bullying and unpleasant. Ultimately, I wasn't there, I can't know what the truth truly is, especially since I don't trust sources close to the Crown. Still, it's safe to say that you should take anything Harry claims here with a pinch of salt, at least.
Finally, I want to touch on the writing style. Harry didn't write this himself, he hired a ghost writer instead. How much of the book is in his own words, or in the words of the ghost writer, is not known to me. What is known to me is that this book just feels like one of those terrible ghostwritten memoirs that are just a pageant of tragedies the person involved has gone through. Overly melodramatic prose that loops back around to being funny, repetition of the word 'mummy' roughly a thousand times, a bizarre passage where he does nothing but talk about his penis but insists on calling it his 'todger'...the list goes on. As I've said before, I don't want to ridicule the man, nor am I denying what he went through, particularly with regard to the loss of his mother. What I am saying is that this was perhaps not the best way to present this information. It reads like fiction, or like a trashy 'based-on-a-true-story' direct to video movie. It does not feel like the real experiences of a person who has been through a lot of trauma. More care should have been given to stop the book seeming like a storm of clichés; it really would have helped Harry's points come across more seriously, which I imagine is what he wanted.
Next up, a girl moves into a new home...but what waits for her across the street?

Hey Pokemon side of tumblr (or good-at-finding-stuff side of tumblr) I have been trying FOREVER to find this book I used to own. It was more of a magazine actually, cause I don't think it was any more than like 60 pages. My mom bought it for me around the time Diamond and Pearl first came out on the DS. I distinctly remember the cover being yellow and it had a big image of Manaphy on the front. I also very specifically remember it being in this exact pose (because I used to reference it CONSTANTLY for my drawings)
Tumblr media
There were other pokemon on the cover too but I don't remember exactly what they were - I think the Sinnoh starters maybe? Or the Lake Trio? I also don't remember the contents of the magazine very well except for a few pages that I think listed the Pokedex in a grid-like format.
I thought maybe it was Nintendo Power, but I looked it up and that was the official Diamond/Pearl guidebook (which I also specifically remember having a typo that called Sandgem Town "Sandgem City" but we're getting off topic here).
If anyone knows what the heck I'm talking about please tell me. I literally read that thing so many times it fell apart and I no longer have it, I wanna find it again

Formaggio and Illuso found Ilona’s journal on their night stand and decided to read it out loud. Hopefully Ilona doesn’t find out.
“Formaggio, what are you up to?” Formaggio was spooked but sighed in relief to see that it was only Illuso.”Just checking on Ilona, I usually do that.”
“They’re out on a hit with Pesci and Prosciutto.” Formaggio opened Ilona’s room door and went to sit on their bed, “Oh, then they probably wouldn’t mind if I waited for them here. Besides, this bed is way more comfier than the one in my crib.” Illuso rolled his eyes but then saw a small spiral notebook on the nightstand. “What do we have here? Seems as if little Ilona has been writing things.” Illuso grabbed the notebook and opened it up. “Whoa, how do they write with those big goofy cat paws?” Formaggio asked. Illuso shrugged, “Let’s find out.”
“Wait, we really shouldn’t be doing this.” Illuso raised an eyebrow at Formaggio, who then cracked a cocky smile, “I’m just playin’ with you.” Illuso shook his head and turned to a random page in the notebook.
17/9/9X
I constantly have to remind myself that I’m not the only one with a stand anymore and that I’m not a freak. In Morioh-cho, Japan, I studied there as a foregin exchange student. I already stood out as a foreigner, but on top of that my hands had undergone a horrific metamorphosis. I now know that my stand’s awakening was to blame. Having flowers being placed on my desk, people calling me a freak, and then… the accident that made me drop out.
“Holy shit… that got dark real fast.” Formaggio said while taking the notebook away from Illuso, “Let’s try something lighter.” He flips through the pages and finds one written in glittery pink gel pen.
14/6/9X
I know this is going to make me sound like a wuss if I ever said this out loud, but Prosciutto hurt my feelings. So FUCK HIM! He was like “You need to control how emotional you get because it’s tied to your stand.” Wow, way too fucking go, you pissed me off throughout this entire hit! Of course I’m going to be upset! You keep telling me that I’ll never amount to anything, that I will be less than a person, or that I am an uncontrollable monster. YOU WANTED ME TO BE, YOU PUTTANA! But no, I gotta suck it up! I’m sorry, I’m sensitive! If that bitch ass blondie weren’t my superior I would have kicked his nards and yelled back! But here I am crying like the weakling I was am.
“Yikes, so much for that. maybe we should stop.” Formaggio said as he put the book down. Illuso grabbed it and reopened the book. “Maybe we could find some sort of secrets, don’t you want to know if these said anything about us?” Formaggio looked at the door frame of Ilona’s room then back at Illuso. “Fine, only because I want to see if they diss you out next.” They turned the pages for another entry. This one was written in purple crayon.
1/1/9X
I met a young man by the name of Bruno Buccirati at the Passione New Year’s party. He was a really nice guy, I kind of want to take him up on his offer for a nice lunch but I don’t think Risotto would approve of me going to hang out with him. He may be part of la famiglia, but in Risotto’s exact words “He may be a charmer but you don’t know if that’s a facade.” I think that in his own personal way, Risotto really does think of me as part of his team. Even if he doesn’t show it, I think that’s ultra sweet.
“What are you two doing?” A voice calle out,, it was Melone. “This is a new low, even for you Formaggio. Really, going through someone’s private journal?”
“Oh yeah, and that makes you morally superior?” Illuso questioned, “I bet you want to know if Ilona’s really in love with you.” Formaggio nodded in agreement. “Oh I already know about their feelings, I’m just waiting for them to spit it out already.” Formaggio and Illuso shook their heads, classic Melone. “Whatever, let’s see if there’s anything written about you, Formaggio.” Illuso eagerly turned the pages and found an entry written in red pen.
15/4/9X
I totally blew my chances today. I wanted to confess to Melone, but I got too embarrassed. Formaggio entered the car before I could say anything. What is this, a romcom where I’m failing at being the love interest? Formaggio did ask me how it went, and I told him that I failed. He seemed relieved for some reason. I don’t want to call it, but maybe he’s interested in me? I feel kind of bad, Formaggio is my best friend and I don’t want our friendship to be ruined by a romance that couldn’t blossom.
Formaggio slumped in disappointment, Illuso started laughing and teased him more, “Wow, rejected.”
“Whatever, let’s just put the book back before Ilona comes home.” Illuso tossed the notebook back on the nightstand and the 3 left Ilona’s room.

Week 7 Nigerian Blog
The most important quote of the week from, “Yinka, where is your huzband” is on page 164. Yinka says, “For the first time in a few days I feel like the Yinka, who knows what she’s about.” Yinka says this after she crushed her interview at the new job. She was getting her hair done by her aunt and read her the email from the manager at the new job saying she passed the first step and should come back for another interview. After feeling down because she lost her job and couldn’t tell her mom or sister about it, she secretly had to grind. This was the first time in a couple weeks that Yinka felt the best she ever had. She feels on top of the world. She got this new job and she thinks it is going well with alex. She has no complaints. 
I didn't really read a lot this week and I wishhh I could have read more. It was the first week back from thanksgiving so I wasn’t really back to the flow of things. However, as soon as I picked up my book I fell back in love with it. I was instantly eagered and drawn in again. Like I’ve said many times before, this book is too real. It makes me feel like I’m reading my journal or a friend's text message. When they talked about the struggles of getting your hair done as a black girl and the struggles of finding someone that looks like you so u can feel beautiful it’s a real struggle many black girls face. I like how Yinkas cousins finalllyyy opened up about why ola was being so rude to Yinka. She found out that ola was going through something personally with her husband that’s making her feel insecure. That’s  causing her to lash out. This is really important because as I just said, Yinka feels on top of the world right now. Two same exact days, two completely different feelings. It teaches me to not judge someone or take offense to what they say. This could be a  tricky way to think because it could lead people walking all over you. That’s a problem Yinka faces. She's constantly getting walked on because she’s too nice. I think that the secret coming to light will help them understand each other better and I just hope by the wedding they will be TRULY good. Not just acting okay because one of their cousins is getting married.

Secrets - Chapter 2: Moon calendar
Remus Lupin × Adrienne Macmillan
Tumblr media
Summary: Adrienne Macmillan is a Slytherin student in Hogwarts, who gets curious about his fellow classmate's, Remus Lupin's scars. Upon finding out their meaning, what will she do with this secret and the feelings she begins to feel towards the boy?
Word count: 1,782
Keywords: Marauders-era, Remus Lupin x Slytherin girlfriend, secret relationship
Trigger warnings: scars, "hate speech"
Author's note: To be honest, this might be the last work I post; recently I've been having a hard time and I even considered deleting my account. So we'll see how that goes. If anything happens and I disappear this story might be continued on AO3. Sorry for the ranty rant, hope you'll enjoy this next chapter!
Previous chapter: A rainy day
Taglist: @errruvande
The very same night Adrienne returned with her friends to the dark, green-toned common room after dinner. She spread her books on the floor and settled down herself. 'Don't tell me you are going to do homework still,' Rachel sighed. 'It's this Divination crap… Don't worry, I'll be done quickly.' 'I'm curious what Professor Trelawney meant by those transits in your chart,' Chloe said as Ada flipped to the back of her book to the moon calendars of the year. 'Probably nothing,' Ada rolled her eyes. 'Remember how she predicted Anderson to be dead by the end of last semester? Seems to be in perfect health to me.' 'I was kinda hoping for it,' her strawberry blonde friend scoffed, and the three girls chuckled. Anderson was clinging constantly to Rachel's boyfriend; not that it mattered, for Rachel was a lot prettier, and, if nothing else, "exotic". 'Still,' Chloe pressed on. 'Astrology is a lot more exact branch.' 'I'll look into these moon phases then,' Ada joked and pointed one out at random. 'Oh, it says I shouldn't go to high places next week, cause Mars makes a challenging aspect to the Moon and I'm more likely to fall. I guess that rules out the ladder to Divination class.' Rachel laughed and Chloe threw a pillow to Ada's head. 'Just get your homework done quick, I want to tell you about Lucius.'
However, Ada found it difficult to focus. The murmured conversation of her friends, and the splashes against the underwater window, which were usually soothing, now annoyed her. The water reminded her of the rain that ruined her notes; she pulled it from her pocket and smoothed the parchment on the floor. She was replaying the Divination professor's words in her mind, the woman's big glasses, the heavy fumes of sage, the twinkle of her many and long necklaces. 'The 25th of February, my dear, the 25th of February,' Trelawney egged her on and Ada had to shake her head to wake from her stupor. With every word she wrote on the parchment, the same date flashed before her eyes and she couldn't figure out why - she checked on the moon calendar. It was a day after the full moon but of no importance to her. Then, she glanced at the notes next to her homework: still a blotchy mess, but almost clearly, the 25th of February was there.
Ada pulled the notes closer and ran her fingers across it. Now, under the warm light of the fireplace it was clear that, though the ink itself ran across the paper like many tiny spider legs, her writing left indentations into it. It was a terrible habit of hers, pressing the quill into the parchment with such force it carved into the page - not only did it make quill purchases more frequent, but also rendered any eraser spell ineffective for her.
Finally, it played into her hand.
February 25, the date that was nagging at her, was marked as one of the days Remus turned up to class with new scars. Half-heartedly, Ada checked the dates against the moon calendar. There were some days when he appeared sick and others when he missed class and stayed at the hospital wing. Huh, what are the chances, a boy syncing up with the Moon?
A boy syncing up with the full moon.
Blood flushed from her body. Surely it was a coincidence. They wouldn't let…
'I've gotta check something out in the library,' Ada jolted up, swiping her books and papers into her arms. 'What?' Rachel sounded like she had a very bad cold. 'It's late, the library is almost closed,' Chloe reasoned, but her friend was already out the door.
'Please,' begged the brunette later to the librarian. 'I have a very important essay tomorrow.' The librarian, although with her mouth pulled to the side, allowed her in, if she'd be quick. Ada didn't have to be told twice: she pulled a few volumes about magical creatures not to make it too obvious. On her way back, she steadied herself. After all, she couldn't be sure. Lupin was a quiet kid, nice, even. He can't be a bloodthirsty werewolf.
She snuck into an empty classroom and got to reading. Her own reassurance dissipated with every page she flipped, leaving no doubt when she finished all her books.
She pushed the last dusty volume close and stared into the dark classroom. The moon was waning, casting a pale veil of light on the desks. Ada turned her Lumos spell off without saying a word (she used it so often to read or study after her friends went to bed, she needed no incantation).
During the first month or so, she devoured every book that was available in the library about werewolves. She learned of the signs, of the condition, the history, and the remedies - she'd read how vicious and dangerous these people can be, but she couldn't help thinking how unfitting it was to her classmate.
She kept this discovery to herself, although everything afterwards proved her assumption to be right. A few days after the next full moon, Lupin finally returned to class after a few days of "being ill". He was still slimmer and his face sickly, with dark circles under his eyes. He just about fished out a niffler from Ada's hair (it was trying to steal her earrings) when she noticed, that, however healed they seemed, there were new scars on the boy's otherwise delicate hands. It puzzled her; why would he always get new scars - she couldn't tell, why, but she felt a pang in her chest.
A year had passed and Adrienne made no mention of this to anyone - although being close to Remus or seeing him left her with an uneasy feeling she couldn't quite explain. She tried to chalk it up to fear. It made sense with how her heart was racing every time the boy caught her staring at him, or how she trembled ever so slightly when they had to work together during a lesson. It did not, however, explain why she always hoped to bump into him.
Well, her wish was soon granted.
They were headed towards the Great Hall after a long session at the library. Chloe was in the midst of an animated retelling of a dragon sighting around the Hebrides as they descended the staircase, when Ada spotted the Marauders, as the four boys (James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus) liked to refer to themselves, around the end of it. She half-registered the boys being there when her friend turned to her: 'What do you think, Ada? Are there still Hebridean Blacks left in Scotland?' Adrienne felt her foot stuck - she forgot about the enchanted step and her left foot was now swallowed by it. By reflex, she tugged on it, only to then be sent flying ahead the last few steps. She tried to grab onto the handrail, but her hand slipped on the smooth marble as if to hasten her fall. She braced herself for the inevitable impact, yet she felt two hands on her waist, and her upper arms, instead of the cold, hard floor, were stopped by someone's chest.
Tumblr media
She carefully looked up but forgot all about her absolute humiliation when she saw Remus' face. It was in terrible shape, with a long scar stretching across his face and his eyes were still red. 'What happened to you…?' She blurted out, but, feeling the disapproval of her friends burning her sides, she adjusted her robe and added: '…freak.' Remus' surprised expression turned to a frown, but it was Sirius who jumped between the two of them: 'What did you say?' 'Khm, what, Black, are you deaf?' Ada did not want to repeat that word. It just felt… Wrong. 'I can make you to be,' the boy aimed his wand at her without missing a beat and Adrienne pulled out hers in return. All the students around them took a step back in shock (and unconcealed anticipation). Upon this, James also joined to support his friend. 'I wouldn't go around saying things like that if I were you.' 'Hey,' Chloe stepped to Ada's side and grabbed her shoulders. 'Cut it out, you two.' 'Take it easy, Avory, or you're gonna be next,' Sirius' grey eyes were burning. If looks could kill… 'What is the meaning of this?' Came the stern, croaky voice of McGonagall from the other end of the hallway. She hurried to the scene to dispel the onlookers (unsuccessfully). 'Black, Potter! Why is it always you two? Miss Macmillan!' 'Professor she stated it!' Claimed James. 'This is unacceptable! Lower your wands, all of you! Five points from Gryffindor and Slytherin and all of you get detention.' 'What? It's not fair!' Even Pettigrew joined in the commotion of pleas: 'But she was calling Remus…' 'Professor this is outrageous!' 'Yes, she should definitely…' 'Silence!' McGonagall said gravely. 'I don't want to hear about it. Potter, Black, in my office. Miss Macmillan, go to Professor Slughorn's office, and don't try to sneak off. I will get his account after dinner.'
Adrienne felt horrible as she walked away from the scene, even more so as she caught a glimpse of Lupin. He seemed down and would never look towards her again.
Her friends waited for her when she emerged from Slughorn's office after a detention was assigned to her. 'Miss Macmillan, I'm very disappointed in you!' Slughorn had said just minutes before, and he was baffled, especially once he heard the full tale from McGonagall. He did not go easy on her - he hoped to discourage one of his finest students from ever acting out like this. Without any background knowledge, it seemed disproportionate and her friends weren't shy to point that out: 'Are you serious? Cleaning the hippogriff stables for a week?' Chloe asked angrily. 'For calling that freak what he is?' 'Sush,' Ada gestured with her hands. 'Don't make it worse.' 'Serves him right with all those scars. He looks hideous,' Rachel added with a giggle. 'Rachel!' the brunette scolded her friend. 'What? You're already converted to freaks without starting detention?' She giggled with Chloe but Adrienne did not feel like laughing. How could she tell her friends that mentioning "freak" every time caused her shame and that she did in fact think that she deserved her detention? That she did kind of find Lupin's scars cute and him avoiding her after this incident hurt more than shovelling hippogriff poop for a week?
Part of these, she learnt later, but she knew it must be another secret she kept from her friends.

S/o who is a manga artist
Floyd Leech
Idk
He seems like the type to read manga to me.
it’s usually when the cover page peeks his interest-
geez, Floyd, don’t just judge a book by its cover-
But the story plot has to keep him interested.
otherwise he would find it boring and throw it away or if it’s online, stop reading it.
So he found a manga series which was about many powerful mermaids and mermen that came from the sea to interact with a “I’m so done with shit” protagonist who’s a shoemaker living by the sea and he just be dead inside-
Floyd had many good laughs with that manga series, he reads it everyday, anytime, anywhere.
He just wanted to know who made this???
Its so good???
But he couldn’t find their real name, only having a weird looking pen name, and he couldn‘t even find your face profile!
Before he ultimately decided to give up,
he startled you one day when he burst through your room,
which of course startled you.
But now you expose him to a VERY familiar manga art on your drawing tablet..
”Ehhh~? Koebi Chan draws and makes manga??~ Why didn’t you tell me~? Ehehehehe~”
Yeah shit.
He‘s now all over you and he’s constantly talking about your manga with you.
He doesn’t want spoilers, no,
but he’s always pestering asking you when you are going to be done with a volume.
He just be resting on your head while you draw,
he won’t pay attention to the screen but instead look down to your hands doing the work
It’s magical!
Koebi Chan is so cool-
Anyone who dares make fun of your art would be chased down no matter what,
and he’s gonna have so much “fun” talking and correcting their statement-
Ehehehe~
Idia Shroud
Oh b r u h
Hun-
He big fan
OF ALL YOUR MANGAS-
ART STYLE IS PERFECTION
GODS HAS BLESS HIM WITH THIS GOOD ARTIST AND STORY PLOT CONSTRUCTOR
*french kiss* perfection-
He really loves everyone of em’
Especially those which are harem, shounen or mecha genre
He just be wondering,
just who are you???
Nozaki kun (for those who watch Nozaki Kun manga- totally recommend-)
He tried finding you online but to no avail.
That’s until one day-
ahahahaha-
you showed him your art that ONE day-
and you asked if it was okay?
You kinda wanted to use your art for school events you see?
And he sees a character with the same tupe of art style....
”OH MY GOD IS THAT ARISE FROM STAR BONDS WIEISHOWBDIDHC, YOU CREATED STAR BONDS?!?!?!?”
He is the true fanboy.
he geeks out about your art and manga plot,
And he’s complaining about how why your manga series is not adapted to become an anime yet like ???????
W h y ??????
Anyways,
he’s super supportive of your manga and art,
Anyone who insults you are gonna be trash talked
No mercy.
Man just don’t want you to be hurt <3
Azul Ashengrotto
look,
he only reads literature with them b i g words
So seeing him read manga means the book must have really peeled his interest
His favourite genre of your manga series are the fantasy, thriller, mystery or twisted ones occasionally.
Your manga series his top notch my dear reader
He couldn’t really identify who you were though,
and like the two others I mentioned, online was useless.
Thats until,
you accidentally dropped one of your drawings from your sketchbook,
aka thE WORSE THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ART KIDS-
and he being the gentleman he was helped you pick it up for you to retrieve it-
then he saw the art
the veryyyy familiar character with the exact same art style....
“You.... created Kyohei? From Blood Rain??”
Mans now your biggest fan-
He collects all your mangas, saves fanart of his favourite character secretly-
He just loves it okay?
And now that he knows you’re the artist,
he’s even an even bigger fan.
Anyone who insults your art are gonna have to deal with the mafia fish,
maybe letting Jade and Floyd getting into the fun in “educating” the hater.
He just wants to let you know you are special, talented, show stopping and drop dead gorgeous inside out <3

Butler
Tumblr media
Levi Ackerman x F!Reader
Overview: Levi is a butler for your family, and you can’t help but fancy him
Warnings: Cursing, pushy parents, angst, smut, fingering, oral (female receiving), unprotected sex, creampie, age gap (legal of course), that filthy talk (mild), hair pulling, slight choking
Requested by @heyyharuhi (thank you for this request, as soon as i read the idea i started on it)
Okay, i’m going to admit.... i’m too lazy to proof read this. Work is kicking my ass and i just want to sleep. hopefully i didn’t fuck up too bad. I tend to type faster than my mind is thinking... so i apologize in advance for the typos. enjoy :)
-
The room is hot, almost enough to make ones skin feel as if it’s on fire. Maybe that had to do with the anger everyone at the dinner table is feeling. The scrunching face of your father and mother as the look of disbelief is spread across their features. Not to mention how silent it is, so uncomfortably silent. The sound of your fork scraping across the table is all that can be heard.
Your father takes in a deep breath, eyes closing in utter frustration. “Tell me again why you don’t like this boy? He’s taken you out to dinner several times now, and has been very kind to our family,” you can only roll your eyes at your fathers words. All they care about is setting you up with a wealthy stuck up man, not someone who will bring happiness. “And every time he flirted with the waitress,” you snap, “also, he has horrible manners.”
It’s sad the situation you’re in, really. This has been going in the family for years, the children not getting to choose who they marry. Of course they could’ve rejected and rejected until their parents gave up, but no one has been able to push through. Your mother is a perfect example with having to marry your father. A stuck up man who you’ve never even seen smile at your mother, it’s saddening. “The man has money, lots of it, and you know how much we’re struggling right now,” your mother says with the same look of disbelief.
The double doors to the dining room swing open, making the conversation come to a pause. There he stood, your butler, with a tray of freshly poured drinks. He has the same expressionless look as always as he strides over to the table setting each cup down. As his body stands close to yours, you can’t help but take in how good he smells. Yes it may come off as creepy, but you’d never encountered a man who smelled so fresh. Like a flower garden.
“Thank you, Levi,” you say with a small smile. Your parents never thank him or even acknowledge him and it pisses you off. The man must be in a horrible situation financially if he’s willing to put up with your parents. They always complain about money yet have maids, chefs, and butlers. As if they can’t do anything for themselves. Levi nods at you with a small smirk in reply before exciting the room.
The rest of dinner goes in, filled with arguments and insults. Just a regular night in this family. It’s frustrating, really, how your parents only care about money. They don’t even care for you, or even themselves. All the two want is to appear rich to everyone else. It’s all about image, that’s it. Why care about those things when you can have love and happiness? That’s all you’ve ever wanted.
Since you were a teen, your parents have been shoving stuck up boy after stuck up boy in your direction. Each one has bragged about their live’s, and how women love them. None have even bothered to ask you a personal question. To get to know you in anyway. Each one saw women as a pretty thing to wear on their arms for public gatherings. And any other time you’d just be seen as another maid to them, it’s the sad truth.
Women are pushed around by men, especially in this life style. All that matters is money and looks. Love won’t get your name respected by others, that’s the power of money. The people you call your parents have never been affectionate towards one another, not that you’ve ever witnessed. It’s not wonder they only ended up having one child. Usually by this age, in your family at least, people are married. Some even have a kid of their own on the way. But you just keep rebelling until they give up, that’s what you’re hoping for.
It’s late now and the hallways are dimly lit, not a sound to be heard. At times like this your mind wanders. Thinking about Levi, which isn’t a good idea. Sure he’s really good looking, but there’s no way he could be interested. When he’d first started coming around, a few months ago, you immediately wanted to get closer to him. Then you learned of his age which was something you definitely weren’t expecting. The man looked around the same age as you.
The sound of a faint hum can be heard from down the hall. It sounds like it’s coming from the living area. As you round the corner you see him standing there. Levi sat on the couch with a book perched in his hands, the lamp lit up next to him. His eyes move to your frame and jumps at your presence. The maids and butlers have their own area of the home to stay in during the night, which is really shitty may you add. He shouldn’t be here during this time. If your parents were to see him there they’d throw a fit.
Before he could react you’re walking towards him, sitting next to him on the red sofa. “What are you reading?” Levi is at a loss for words, really, this has his heart racing. Yet he manages to choke out, “Just some cheap poetry book.” The two of you had only talked a handful of times, and it was never real conversation. The man has always found you beautiful and can’t believe you haven’t gotten married yet. “Shouldn’t you be sleeping?” You ask and he lets out a small laugh, “Couldn’t you ask yourself that?”
Levi feels his chest tighten as you move closer to him, looking at the pages of his book. This whole things was off to him. The man had never seen you in anything but a dress, yet here you were in nothing but a shirt and shorts. He always imagined you to sleep in some sort of fancy silk nightgown. And yes, he thinks about what you wear to bed. He has scolded himself for where his mind has gone to thinking about you, but he can’t help himself. You’ve always been so kind to him.
“You should let me borrow this book sometime,” you say with a small smile. You’re inches away from his face now, eyes peering into one another’s. “Of course,” he gulps. The room fell silent. He isn’t sure if he is reading this moment correctly. One thing he is sure of is he’s definitely not the type of man you need to get caught up with. As this thought crosses his mind he’s quick to stand up off the sofa. “It’s getting late, I should get to bed.” Before you can say a word, he’s walking out of the room.
Complete and utter failure. That was your chance to get closer to him and you ended up scaring him off. Did you come across too forward? Sure you’d gotten rather close to him but you didn’t that that was too far. Was it? You let out a loud huff before falling face first into a pillow, groaning into it.
You were just a young girl who couldn’t decide her future, what could you possibly offer him? He’s older and has his shit figured out, it seems like it at least. As you mentally scold yourself for embarrassing yourself, Levi is in his room doing the same exact thing. He has found you breathtaking from day one and constantly wanted to get to know you. Then the moment you two are alone he panicked.
The man is grown, almost forty, and has been with countless women. Not to brag, he’s just never been one for settling. Then here comes a girl, younger and less experienced than him yet he’s the one choking up. Maybe it was the thought of your parents finding out that got the best of him. They may actually die of shock if they knew you even talked to him in the way you did, in your sweet voice. Or worse, they’d kill Levi themselves.
-
The next day rolls around, then the next, and so on. It seems like Levi is avoiding you to the furthest extent that he can and it’s really pissing you off. You don’t think he’s required to like you, but you’re still kind to him. You still try and brighten his day with a smile or a simple, “how are you?” Yet he won’t even stick around long enough for you to ask. Did you make him that uncomfortable? You’d rather hear him reject you then have this awkwardness floating in the air.
Knowing that you could’ve possibly made him feel uncomfortable really started to eat at your conscious. For awhile you stopped wandering the halls at night searching for him. Most of the times, after the first encounter, he’d hurry off at the first sight of you. Even through all of this your desire for him only seems to grow more intense.
Why did he have to be so damn attractive?
You lay in your bed, looking up at the ceiling. Levi is the only thing on your mind. It’s hard to not wonder what he’s doing on late nights like this. On a Sunday, your parents off doing business in town. No one here to boss him or the other workers around.Maybe he got scared off thinking of your parents catching you two so close that night, of course that’s something you keep telling yourself.
Being stuck in your home not allowed anywhere always eats away at you. Being here wasn’t something you enjoyed any day, but actually being told you can’t leave makes you feel crazy. When your parents are away they think the maids and butlers are going to pocket the entire house and run off. But you know each staff member well enough to come to the conclusion that they’d never do such a thing. If only your parents would listen to you when saying this, maybe you wouldn’t be trapped in here.
When they’re off doing business or whatnot, the staff takes that as their full opportunity to get some good sleep. Just be able to relax. Your parents always have them on the go it seems, until the sun goes down. Sometimes, most of the time, even later than that. They’ll see a book out of place and call for a maid instead of doing it themselves.
The staff has always been fond of you from the beginning. Some of the older maids watched you as a little girl. You’d always beg them to help clean or just be around them. As you grew older, you stopped asking to help and went ahead and did it anyway. If you notice they happen to miss something, which is rare, you’ll grab a duster or a broom and finish the job. It breaks your heart when your parents treat them to harshly.
That’s one of the many reasons Levi is so fond of you. Even after being raised by such pigs you still managed to be your own person. To be kind. He’d worked for other wealthy families in the past and usually every member was horrid, and treated him like dirt. Then he came here and met you, a sweet girl who loves to help.
Levi remembers when he was first joined the staff at your home. It was very hectic. He didn’t expect your parents to need such assistance. Usually families would try and do some things for themselves, but no. It seems your parents need their hands held constantly like children. It was a lot to handle at once, but you made it easier for him.
You helped him set appointments, organize, or any other unpredictable needs. He didn’t talk much, but he still made it very apparent that he appreciated all of your help. Moments like those were when you would look at him and just be in awe of his beauty. To you he was like a prince. So charming and kind, his looks are just a bonus.
You find yourself rising to your feet and leaving your room. The sun has already set and the stars are lighting up the sky. Your home is quiet now, somewhat peaceful without your parents. Without thinking, you’re in the hall walking through the darkness. Your fingers trace along the wall as your toes gently push into the carpet. You’d hate to wake anyone up this late.
As if your body knows something before you do, your stomach begins to have slight butterflies before rounding the corner into the living area. Would Levi even be up this late? it’s much later than the times he’s usually out here reading. As you turn the corner your eyes land on him and you take a silent breath, that you can’t help but hold onto for a second longer.
On the sofa sits Levi. His hair is clutched between a few of his fingers as his eyes squint at the book he’s reading, almost frustrated it seems. Instead of saying anything and scaring him off you swiftly walk to him and sit yourself down. He lets out a small, ‘ah’ at your presence, not expecting you, and you can’t help but let out a small giggle at his reaction.
“What? Not happy to see me?” The sweet smile on your face makes a blush rise to his cheeks. Of course he’s happy to see you, even if he can be complicated sometimes. “Uh, no. Not that, just didn’t expect you up so late.” That’s truly what it is. He came out here with a full expectation that you, and everyone else, would be fast asleep. “I guess we’re both night people, huh?” You shove at him lightly with your arm and he smirks.
There’s a silence that falls over you two, but it’s not uncomfortable. You can’t help but move a bit closer to him, the situation feeling all too familiar. This time Levi isn’t tensing up, or moving away. If anything, you’re pretty sure he moves closer to you ass well. “What are you reading this time?” Your sweet voice makes him shiver.
His eyes scan over your features, sticking to your lips for a little too long. This doesn’t go unnoticed by you. “Just some romance novel I picked up, it’s sorta frustrating to read.” “How so?” Your eyes sparkle in interest. Your bodies are so close, just the side of your leg pressed up against his has his heart racing. That and the fact you look beautiful right now.
“They both like each other and won’t act upon it, and it just keeps getting drawn out. All it is is boring conversation and hearing their thoughts. They should just kiss already.” He watches as your face moves closer to his, lip sinking into your bottom lip. “I think they should just kiss already, too.”
That’s all it takes for Levi to close the gap in-between you two. Your arms come up to wrap around his neck, while his hands have already started grabbing at your waist. His touch sends electricity through you. You’d only been with a few men, and Levi was already making you feel a knot in your stomach that you’d never felt before. It was a good feeling.
A feeling of excitement.
One of his, rather big, hands trail up your spine causing you to shiver at his touch. The hand goes all the way up until it reaches the base of your neck, tangling in your hair. You can’t stop yourself from moaning into the bruising kiss as his fingers tug at your locks. He smirks, and you feel it. His other hand squeezes your thigh, sending a jolt right to your heat.
Levi pulls back to examine your face, rosy cheeks and eyes half open. “Fuck, you’re breathtaking,” he cursed before diving back in. This time his lips are attack your neck, nibbling and licking as you let out high pitched sighs.
This is all happening so fast, but you love it. There is so much built up tension between the two of you and it’s all coming out. You can’t stop yourself from tugging at his shirt, a whine falls from your lips. There’s no telling how many times you’ve dreamed of seeing this man without a shirt on. He follows your complies and pulls the shirt over his head, exposing the pure glory beneath. Yes, glory.
You stare for a good moment. He’s so fit, more than you imagined. “Like what you see?” He teases with a cocky smile. “More than like, I could look at you all day.” The blush that spreads across his face doesn’t go unnoticed by you. He looks into your eyes and his hands snake under your shirt, slightly pushing you backwards until your back meets the sofa. He’s above you now, with a shit-eating grin.
When his fingers make contact with your chest he can’t help but bite his lip. You don’t have a bra on. “Do you want me as much as I want you?” You’re about to answer his question, but his fingers brush against your nipples. The action makes you let out a soft gasp at the feeling. “What was that?” He asks with that same cocky smirk, “Use your words princess.”
The pet name just sends you for another loop. “Yes,” you manage to get out, “I want you.” He presses his lips to yours, then your neck again, before discarding of your shirt. His soft lips trace down you stomach with light feathery kisses, making your breathing become uneven. His fingers loop in the waist ban of your shorts before pulling them down your legs, tossing them in some random direction.
Everything happening has your head spinning. In the best way possible, of course. His mouth is hovering about your clothes core now, it’s enough to drive you mad. Your excitement is visible on your underwear. “So wet,” he coos, his breath fanning against you. He takes off the last item on your body, leaving you bare.
For a second you want to close your legs when the shyness kicks in, but Levi acts quick. His lips attack to your clit in an instant, and your fingers fly to his hair. Tangling and pushing him closer into you. His mouth is like magic. “Fuck-“ you cut yourself off with a moan. His tongue moves up and down your slit, circling your clit. Your eyes practically roll into the back of your head.
His finger comes up to circle your entrance before pushing its way in. The way he’s working with his mouth and fingers had you seeing stars. “I’m gonna-“ right before you finish he completed stops his actions. Of course he just had to be a little shit.
“You’re going to come on my cock,” he says with a smile. Just his words alone have your stomach turning. He lines himself up with you before pushing forward slowly. You hiss at the pain, never ever have you been with someone this big. He halts his actions at the sound you make, but you’re quick to beg for me. “No, keep going, please don’t stop!”
He slams into you and you hold back a scream. The pain quickly turns into pleasure as his hips start to slam into yours. “How does that feel princess?” Him and that damn pet name again. “So, So good,” you manage to get out. Unexpectedly, his hand comes up to wrap around your throat, pressing lightly. Your eyes just about light up when he brushes against that spot.
He must of saw the sparkle in your eyes, so he does the same movement. Over, over, and over again. It doesn’t take long before you’re coming undone around him, shaking and vision blurring. His movements continue until he’s coming inside of you, deep grunts escaping his mouth. The only sound is heavy breathing as Levi lays on top of your chest.
“Do you want to go to my room and cuddle?”
Levi looks at you with a childish grin. “of course.”

Convoluted Jade Winglet headcanons?
I'm curious!! /gen
Tumblr media
Noble anon and great friend, I am so glad you asked. This post will probably be long so <3 I'll put a tl;dr at the beginning.
Just a warning, in case someone hasn't read them - this will contain spoilers for the Jade Mountain Arc and Legends: Darkstalker!
TL;DR: The Jade Winglet is composed of multiple reincarnations of the Darkstalker: Legends characters. Moonwatcher is the reincarnation of Clearsight; Turtle is the reincarnation of Fathom; Kinkajou is the reincarnation of Indigo; and Qibli is supposed to be the reincarnation of Darkstalker, but Darkstalker never died.
Tumblr media
So, this used to be a big theory of mine when the JM arc was still coming out, but I still cling to it as a headcanon. I just see so many parallels between the characters of these arcs and the Legends: Darkstalker characters. It's been a while since I've actually read those books, but I think my knowledge is still sound enough to write this. If not, who cares, I disregard canon anyway /lh. I am referencing pages on the Wings of Fire wiki pretty frequently as I write this, so props to those guys.
The background. Page 14 of Escaping Peril mentions that SkyWings have specific burial rituals, in hopes that the spirit of the dragon will be free and can be reincarnated into a SkyWing. Though this is FAR from being the definitive canon for dragon afterlife, this is the main jumping point for my reincarnation theories. It appears to be at least accepted in the SkyWing tribe that reincarnation is a thing that can happen to the souls of the departed.
Moonwatcher is the reincarnation of Clearsight. Personally, I always found a lot of similarity in their personalities. With Moonwatcher being the first prophetic (and mind-reading, but Clearsight's thing was prophecy) NightWing in centuries, it seems fitting that this is how Clearsight's spirit would return to the world. Her connection with Darkstalker was not like the one he shared with Clearsight (due to the age gap, ofc, and I am NOT a supporter of shipping the two in ANY capacity), but I felt I drew parallels between Moon's genuine trust in Darkstalker and Clearsight's. If I remember correctly, Darkstalker compared Moon's temperament to that of Clearsight a few times, though I can't be completely sure. Furthermore, Moon's evident involvement in Pantala now gives me more ground to support my funny little headcanon. Clearsight, as the """""""Founder"""""""" of Pantala as we know it, might find her spirit drawn to helping save the broken continent. This idea is also lightly supported by her starting a relationship in canon with Qibli but since I don't really care for that relationship, it's... much more of a backseat thing.
Turtle is the reincarnation of Fathom. After all, the first thing Darkstalker did upon emerging from the mountain was call Turtle by the ancient's name and promptly try to beat him up. That would pretty much confirm that they look super similar. Turtle is, of course, an animus and a member of the royal family--big whoop, that doesn't seem too uncommon in SeaWings. But personality-wise? I'd almost assert they're the exact same. Both fear their own power, both are nervous and easily flustered. And both end up challenging Darkstalker. If the wiki's right, they also go through similar arcs of learning that it's ok for them to be happy.
Kinkajou is the reincarnation of Indigo. This one took me the longest to think of and, yes, it is the biggest stretch. Indigo was a SeaWing, while Kinkajou is a RainWing (although, it appears as though the last known location for Indigo was the Rainforest, so... perhaps not as far-fetched?). But Kinkajou is tough--like when Darkstalker attacked Turtle, she jumped in to save him. And Turtle did have a crush on Kinkajou but that whole agitating love spell thing ruined all chances of that being smiled upon fandom-wise for a loooong time (thanks, Anemone :/). Anyway, Indigo always believed Darkstalker was up to no good, and then Kinkajou was the one who damned him to a fate of being a tiny rainbow hybrid dragonet with a singular fruit.
Originally I was going to say here that Winter is the reincarnation of Arctic, but the more I thought about it, the less it fit and the less I could justify it at all. Seems like Winter is either a different or a new soul, after all. Good for him. Anyway,
Qibli, the one who should have had a used soul. This might sound weird, but bear with me. Qibli was not swayed by Darkstalker's promises, and Darkstalker is known to be viciously manipulative and convincing. Qibli turned Darkstalker down, Qibli stood against some of the best manipulation in dragon history. That's striking to me. Only someone who really knows the tricks would be so resistant, I think. And more than just that, Qibli was GIFTED with wording spells and I vividly recall him constantly wishing he were an animus, as though there was just a part of him he felt was missing. Except there was no animus soul to give him, because Darkstalker never died. And perhaps this was so much for the better. Darkstalker and Qibli are both witty, intelligent, and observant, but Qibli didn't end up with an old, dark soul--there was a new one required for his place, one that was able to survive and stay good-hearted in a place as vicious as the Scorpion Den with dragons as heartless as his relatives. A soul so similar to Darkstalker, yet without the treachery, was a key piece in defeating the ancient evil. Though I do headcanon that, had Darkstalker been killed, Qibli would have been the reincarnation of that soul.
----
So that's basically it, I think? Feel free to call my bluff or burn my crops for this, but I think it's a fun and neat thing to headcanon and think about based on 1 line of SkyWing culture lore that we got, lol. If you wanna ask questions or discuss, I am totally in.
Obligatory request to ignore any grammatical errors or typos, I finished writing this at 1:30 AM and I think I started at like. Midnight lol.

Familliar (revamped with added content)
Authors note: So yall remember the first chapter of familliar? Scrap that hoe this the new one it’s dumb long though 11 pages on Microsoft Word TnT Also @alfmoimagines i remembered to tag you
Content Warnings: Dubious Consent, Virginity Taking, Teratophilia, demon fucking, virgin training? ear fucking(with a tongue i’m not that wild). breeding, creampies, cursing, full nelsons, ruts, and i feel like that is all? Enjoy
Familiars were tricky and malevolent creatures, demons that were so lowly in the castes of hell that they lived life better off in the land of mortals then they would in their own native realm. Not that any of them would be humble enough to admit it though. Most familiars stayed under the care of witches for protection, being incapable of possession made them extremely susceptible to attacks by clergymen. Most lands decreed that any demon living as a witch's charge were free of fear of clergy assault, as long as said witch could manage them. For witches, handling a familiar was a precocious balancing act at best and a near soul threatening experience at the worst, especially during their times of rut. This was when only keeping one familiar in service, which is why so many gave you confused looks when you stated that you kept not one but two under your gifted hand.
 Izuku was your first familiar, a small token gifted to you by your mother the eve before you set off to live yourself as every young witch does when they hit that special age. A small rabbit daemon, one of the easiest to handle, was her gift to you. His eyes were a clear emerald and his pelt a slick black that shone green whenever the moonlight encased him. He was a very helpful familiar as far as they went and you were very appreciative of the fact. After near hermiting yourself away in a decent size hut not too far from a village, you found Izuku to be a very beneficial part of your day to day life. Whenever you were off in the town square buying food and supplies for the week you could always count on Izuku to scamper off and find you roots and herbs for your potion. Or in his human form he would help you around the house cleaning and organizing your books for you. He even seemed interested in your craft, helping you with concocting potions and studying spells.
 Now handling Izuku was fairly easy, at least in comparison to the horror stories you heard, during his roots. All it took was a snug leather collar with a calming charm placed on it to keep him from humping anything within a five-foot radius (including you.) Throw in some romance novels of yours for him to read and staying out late at taverns to give him alone time with his hand and Izuku was fairly decent to stand. You just had to make sure to ignore his eyes on you at night as you slept.
 The second familiar you kept was very different to your snuffly little Zuzu. Katsuki as he went by was an absolute brat that wasn’t grateful for anything you had done for him whatsoever.  It had only been a few months since you had found him after leaving the local butcher to make your way home to Izuku. A group of kids were toying with the poor battered creature, a pure white canine with a clergy trap biting into his ankle blood matting his fur. After shooing away the little bastards you pried open the chat wincing as the teeth of the trap sliced your fingers. He stared up at you with one big red eye before groaning and going limp. You took the poor thing home and cleaned his wounds shoving Izuku away as he came to snuff around the new daemon. For the first few days Katsuki was fine to be around, as his wounds healed, he mostly rested, coming in and out of sleep as he gained back his strength. He was quiet and agreeable letting you bathe him to redress his wounds and even crooning as you held his head to feed him. This calm quiet Katsuki lasted for exactly for the first week he lived in your small home.
 The moment he regained his strength it became apparent what a brute Katsuki was as he uprooted your life from its regular calm feeling. Whenever you went out to gather supplies you returned home to find your Izuku cowering in the corner and Katsuki standing in the middle of your ruined living room, smoke billowing off of your singed furniture. He constantly berated Izuku, cursing and complaining about every little thing he could find. He constantly picked fights with Izuku it wasn’t an uncommon sight to come home to find Katsuki pinning Izuku to the ground as your poor bunny kicked at his tummy trying to worm from your grasp. It got to the point that you would have to keep him chained in the cellar and bring Izuku out with you as your familiar refused to be left alone with Katsuki. As ever docile as he was you found Izuku complaining about keeping him around.
 “Mistress,” he whined walking beside you in the town square “why must we keep him with us he’s rude and aggressive and has only made life harder for us since you took him in.” 
 “Zuzu,” you scolded “you know very well why we can’t just throw him out, the clergy would get to him, besides, he’s probably just defensive being in a new environment after such a traumatic experience, we have to be patient with him.”
 “But he’s so disruptive,” Izuku huffed crossing his arms as you stopped by a fruit vendor “he’s taking up so much of your time, you don’t have time to practice, time for me- “
 “Time for you?” you raised an eyebrow placing a few plums into your satchel, paying the vendor and walking away “perhaps your annoyance comes less from our new friends’ unruly nature and more from a place of, dare I say it, jealousy?”
 “I’m not jealous of him!” Izuku exclaimed red smattering underneath his freckles “I’m worried about you, mistress,”
 “And why is that Zuzu?”
 “Rutting season is coming, and if this is how he acts on the regular, imagine how he’ll be during his time,” he turned to you placing a hand on your arm “you might not be safe mistress,”
 You paused mulling over what your familiar had said eyebrows furrowing, he wasn’t wrong. You had grown comfortable with keeping a familiar with easily suppressed ruts, cat daemons were notoriously known for having aggressive ruts. You had overheard a friend of your mothers as she stopped by from afternoon tea, confiding in your mother that her own cat daemon had been so difficult she had no choice to put aside her pride and pull down her panties to keep peace in her house. It was seen as very taboo for a witch to lay with her familiar, shameful even, to be seduced in the bedroom by such a lowly daemon. You yourself had been worried about what would happen when rut time would come with your new household member to worry over.
 “Don’t worry my fluffy little companion,” you placed a hand on his cheeks smiling as his eyes closed and he nuzzled into your palm “I’ll be fine, you should worry about how you’ll be dealing with your time of the year,”
                                        ……………………………………….
It had been about nearly a week since you and Izuku had your little conversation, and you had begun to notice the signs of rut season in your daemons. Izuku was becoming much more grating constantly moving around your stuff in your room rubbing against everything and even snapping back at Katsuki when he would try to intimidate him. Katsuki became the exact opposite of his usual self, at least towards you. He would stalk you silently through your own home eyeing you like prey as you sat reading in your armchair. It had gotten to the point where you would step out of your bath to find Katsuki waiting outside your washroom nostrils flared as he stared down at you, pupils slit. You almost felt scared in your own home, almost. You had two daemons about to reach a sexual peak and you were only fairly sure you could keep one of them in check. This especially became apparent to you one day as you were working on charming Izuku’s heat collar.
 “That won’t work on a daemon like me you know,” Katsuki had grunted from across your kitchenette “I’m twice as fucking powerful at that little runt you keep running after you,”
 “Well what do you suggest I do to make this time easier for you Katsuki,” you say not looking up from your work “did you not have a witch before me to help you through these times?”
 “Yes,” he said pacing closer to you as you worked rubbing the salve into the leather.
 “Well what did she do Kats- “you paused at the hot wet feeling of breath on the back of your neck, his toned arms came to rest on either side of you. Your body seized as you felt his nose bury into your hair and take a deep inhale.
 “She was a good little witch and let me fuck her cunt till I was through,” your eyes widened as you turned your head to stare at him. His red eyes bore into yours as a lecherous grin spread across your face.
 “Come on,” he said leaning down to rub his nose against your cheek “little witches like you act like prudes till you got a big fat daemon cock in your face, let’s just skip the theatrics and get to the part where I’m balls deep in that little witch cunt of yours,” he groaned throatily pressing his hips into you. You shuddered feeling his massive print against your back wondering what it would feel like to have it pressed inside your-
 “Mistress” you heard Izuku’s voice cold and unnervingly steady from across the room, your eyes shot over to Izuku who eyes were glued onto you and Katsuki. You immediately regained your composure pushing Katsuki away from you. Izuku kept his eyes trained on Katsuki glaring at him as you made your way over to him collar in hand. He took it from you when you offered it to him, but his eyes didn’t leave his fellow daemon.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 It had been a few days since the incident in the kitchen, spring was coming in and the tension in your household was so palpable you could carve it with a knife. Izuku stuck to you like a barnacle to a ship and Katsuki was never too far behind. It had come to the point that you had begun to hex your door locked, not even allowing your little Zuzu to sleep at the end of your bed. It had been on one of those locked door nights when an interesting discussion occurred between Izuku and Katsuki.
“You know Deku, you’re pretty fucking pathetic, you know that right?” Katsuki said sprawled out over your couch eyes glowing crimson in the moonlight lit room.
 “Shut up Kacchan,” Izuku grumbled, awkwardly curled up in your armchair broad arms hugging his haunches and leather collar tight around his neck, ignoring him Katsuki continued.
 “I mean how long have you been in service to her, how many springs have passed with you jacking into your own fist like a fucking loser, what you think if you’re a good enough pet she’ll let you hump her leg or something?” Katsuki asked picking with his claws at a piece of cotton sticking out of the arm of the suede couch.
 “I don’t know how you and your previous witch worked but y/n and I do not have a relationship like that, she is my mistress and I am her grateful servant, nothing more nothing less,” Izuku huffed tucking into himself even further.
 “Get off your damn high horse, you’re how old now, and never once went through a rut without just your own hand?” Katsuki sucked his teeth and turned to his brethren, red eyes glowing inhuman in the moonlight “you and me together we could probably convince her to give us a hole each,”
 “Kacchan don’t be lewd,” Izuku said sitting up in the chair to glare over his shoulder at Katsuki, who barked out a laugh standing up and uncharacteristically, placed a clawed hand gently on Izuku’s face thumb brushing his cheek.
 “Come on little bunbun,” he rasped a wicked gleam in his eyes “don’t you wanna get your dick wet tonight?”
                       ………………………………………………
 It had been fairly quiet that night, a few growled whispers from your living room but overall quiet compared to usual. Though worries of Katsuki’s impending rut had plagued your brain, worrying if the collar you had made for him would stick, you had been resting peacefully for the majority of the night. Until a loud rapping noise pulled you from out of your slumber. Your eyes opened face twisting in worry as your sat up throwing off your bedsheets.
 “Who is it?”
 “Mistress, it’s me,” your body relaxed as you heard your bunny’s’ voice from outside your bedroom door.
 “What is it Zuzu?” you asked standing slowly, nightgown flowing down your legs.
 “I- I can’t sleep, I know my ruts started, but can I just spend one more night with you, please mistress?” your heart lurched for your boy, his ruts as easily managed as they were, were still hard for him.
 “Ok Zuzu,” you chuckled unlatching one of your locks “for you anything my- “
You felt a hand around your throat before you could finish your sentence, you had expected a pair of pure emerald green eyes to meet your, but you were instead met with scarlet. You were quiet as you were pushed back towards your bed by Katsuki refusing to break eye contact with him as you were forced to plop down on your bed. You stared at the both of them, the collars you had spent so long on were removed from their necks, of course, you had never had to worry about putting on a charm to keep Izuku and Katsuki from taking off their own collar, you hadn’t even thought of the two joining forces.
 “Izuku,” you said turning to find him just behind Katsuki nervously staring down at you, biting at his lower lip “what is the meaning of this?”
 “Mistress I-I can explain- “
 “Then explain yourself!” you snapped watching his looming figure begin to shake and quiver at your tone, you figured if you could get one to balk on their advance the other would be soon to follow. Besides, if the two of them would start to ravish you in their lust filled rut induced haze, you wouldn’t want them to stop, and that thought scared you.
 “Hey, don’t take that tone with us shitty witch,” Katsuki said grabbing your jaw and leaning down till you were eye to eye, invading your space “we’re just the two demons who are gonna take out that stick you got shoved so far up your ass, if you let us,”
 “And pray tell, why would I do that?” you ask folding your arms. Katsuki smirked, and stood up to his full height, before shoving Izuku to you. He landed on top of you wide eyed and red face, the moment your hands pressed against his chest you felt his entire demeanor change. His eyelids begin to droop and his breathing became uneven as his body began to sag pressing into you. His rut had come in fully.
 “M-mistress,” he mumbled eyes darting lazily between your lips and your eyes unsure of which to focus on. Choosing to ignore both he instead pressed his nose into your neck nuzzling you and inhaling your smell moaning dreamily. His wet tongue poked out laying small little kitten licks on you quickly turning to open mouth kisses sucking at your neck.
 “Look at him little witch,” grabbing hold of your hair turning your eyes to him as you tried in vain to push off Izuku “you’ve turned him into a needy little bitch hanging off you for the barest scrap of emotion, you must have known how badly he wanted to fuck that cunt of yours,”
 “It’s true mistress,” Izuku said droopily pulling off trying to cover your neck in his saliva “I want you all the time you’re so amazing, so smart, so powerful, I just want to make you feel good ma’am,” he chirruped loudly staring down at you like you put the stars in the sky. He shifted and you can feel his cock hard and throbbing against your leg. Your face heated as he began rutting against you, he moved to give the same treatment he gave your neck to your chin. You couldn’t lie, it felt good you thought as you bit your lip to stifle a moan.
 “T-this is wrong,” you stuttered as Izuku trailed down sucking on your nipples through your nightgown leaving dark wet spots on the pale silk.
“Is it really,” Katsuki snickered grabbing Izuku by the hair. He moaned in distaste as Katsuki pulled him off of you “don’t complain just yet rabbit, you get to do the most important part, hold her from behind,”
 “Izuku please,” you huff as he wraps his burly arms around yours pulling you close so Bakugou can get to your panties easier “you’re better than this bunny” Midoriya pouts staring down at you with those big green eyes.
“Please mistress, I’m always so good for you right, I never try to run away, and I always help you even when you don’t ask” he pauses for a  second to moan as his hips rut into your ass a few times and then move in close to your ear “the least you can do is let me make love to you mistress I promise I’ll make you feel good,”
“HAH,” Bakugou barks out a cruel laugh from his place in front of view finally managing to rip off your panties “a daemon can’t make love to a witch Deku, but we can fuck them senseless,” he grins lecherously as he pushes a finger inside your cunt already moist from their actions “because as high and mighty as witch bitch might be they all turn into slobbering whores the moment you get your dick in them they’ll beg for it you’ll see.’’
Midoriya groaned, now humping at your naked ass seemingly pleased with that visual image Bakugou had given him, thick cock dragging and leaking precum on your skin. He buried his face in your shoulder softly sucking a spot into your skin as his hands trailed down until his fingers found your clit.
“I read in one of your books that this feels good for girls,” he says swiping back in forth lightly tugging against the hood of your clit as if searching “there’s supposed to be a little “pearl” here, right, it’ll make you go feel good right mistress, I wanna make you feel good,” he croons as his fingers succeed in revealing your clit to the cool bedroom air. He lets out a little happy chirp bringing his other hand down to rub small hard circles on it and you choke eyes crossing at your sensitive nub being played with. Bakugou tsks, sucking his teeth as he watches you pay more attention to the damn bunny daemon then him.
“Hey shitty witch,” he grabs your hair and tugs forcing you to look at him through your pleasure induced haze “don’t get too wet over your little rabbit it’s gonna be my fucking dick in you so pay attention,” he leans forward swiping his rough tongue over your shoulder before biting down groaning as the skin broke and the coppery taste of blood began to fill his mouth, dick jumping at your pained squeals.
“Kacchan be nice it’s her first time,” Midoriya scolds moving one of his hands to pat at your head trying to soothe you “you have to be gentle on a girls first time,” Bakugou groans rolling his eyes before letting your shoulder go and lapping at the little pinpricks of red still there.
           “It’s not my fault she’s too prudish to have gotten human dick before we jumped her,” he grumbles and adds another finger to your slick cunt scissoring to loosen you up for them “don’t expect me to be gentle when I get in here either I’m gonna destroy this little cunt of yours shitty witch,” he growls and adds a third finger curling up into a spot that has you seeing stars and chuckles as he watches your hips start to try to ride his hand.
 You try to hold it back but soft pitiful moans leave your lips, eagerly swallowed up by Izuku as he goes to kiss you sloppily shoving his tongue down your throat. Between Katsuki’s rough thick fingers pistoning into you and Izuku playing with your clit while simultaneously sucking your tongue into his mouth it isn’t long before you feel a tug in your abdomen that quickly turns into a pee like sensation as you cum, squirting all over Katsuki’s hand. He groans speeding up to see your squirt spray as Izuku soothes you pulling away from you to gently massage at your breast and kiss along your neck. Katsuki frowned watching the way Izuku fawned over you, taking all your attention. He sucked his teeth before grabbing you and pulling you close.
 “C’mere, be a good little witch and spread those legs for me,” he growled staring into your eyes as you gulped at his words.
 “Katsuki no,” Izuku said grabbing you and pulling you away “it should be me who gets her first you’re too rough,”
 “I’d like to see you try fucking rabbit,” Katsuki grabbed your hips dragging you till your crotch pressed against his and you could feel his print through his trousers “Your virgin ass would probably only last two pumps before you come in her,” There was a palpable moment in which your room seemed to pulse with Katsuki’s challenge as the two daemons stared each other down over you. You knew that it was up to you to pacify the situation.
 “Wait, wait,” you say sitting up as both their eyes immediately dart to you, you place a hand on Katsuki’s chest “you should at least allow me to choose which of you is first,” You see Katsuki smirk and roll your eyes mentally at his arrogance.
 “Ok then little witch,” he grabs your chin in his hand before pulling you into a domineering kiss, much more practiced than Izuku, rolling his tongue with yours before biting and pulling your lip “you pick.”
 You pull back from Katsuki admittedly shaken by his lustful kiss as you kneel between the two daemons trying to figure who you would want to take you first. On one hand you were more comfortable with Izuku, you knew he would be kind and gentle with you as new to all this as you were. But despite Katsuki’s dominating nature he was more experienced, and you have no doubt that he would take the reins if you let him, as you were rather inexperienced in comparison. The air was tangible in the moment of you deciding.
 “I choose Izuku,” you say. Izuku visibly brightens and shuffles closer to you as Bakugou growls scooching over to the headboard. You helped Izuku take off your nightgown fully as his hands shook with eagerness when he tried.
When the offending garment was finally off Izuku stared down at you wide eyed and all smiles taking in your naked body. His hands reached out slowly trailing over your body, over every curve and dip leaving goosebumps in their wake, before resting on your ass. He cupped a cheek in each hand and pulled you up until your rested on his thighs legs wrapping around his waist. You blushed as you felt his cock press against your stomach, thick in ways that made you tremble in fear or anticipation you couldn’t tell.
 “Shh Shh mistress,” he maneuvered you again until you were on your back and he loomed over you as he leaned down “it’s my first time too we’ll be each other’s first.”
 “God are you gonna fuck her or fuck around Deku?” Katsuki growled from his spot next to you by the headboard dick in hand. Midoriya huffed angrily before turning back to you.
He kissed lovingly at the column of your throat stroking your thighs before spreading them practically cooing at the sight of your virgin cunt glistening with your arousal.
           He grabbed one of your legs wrapping it around his waist as he clumsily fumbled with his member until the tip pressed against your twitching hole. Your breath hitched and your face screwed up tight as the head of his cock caught on your clenching entrance, your Zuzus back hunched as he slid just a fraction into your tight heat shuddering breaths fanning your face as he fought the urge to slam into you. It was unpleasant and foreign feeling the stretch of his cock as he slowly pressed into you, a burning sensation that had you clawing at his back and clenching down on the intrusive member spearing into you.
             “P-please y/n, you’re too tight I- I can’t,” his hot breath filled your space as he paused his breach of your too snug pussy. A rough hand grabs at your jaw directing your attention to Katsuki as he glowers down at you.
             “You need to relax dumbass, if you keep clenching down he won’t be able to push it in all the way,”
 “It isn’t in all the way in yet,” you whimpered, squinted one eye open you looked down to see that only half of Izuku’s cock was inside of you, a good portion of it sitting outside of you.
 “Fucking virgins,” Katsuki growled snapping his fingers at Izuku “you gotta get her to relax, kiss her or something touch her other sensitive parts,”
Midoriya nodded sharply before smashing his lips to yours messily moving his lips against your and knocking your teeth together before Katsuki grabbed his neck dragging him away from the sloppy kiss.
           “Jesus do I have to show you how to do everything dumbass,” Katsuki grunted at an irritated Izuku, annoyed at being interrupted.
           “Katsuki stop butting in-“he’s cut off when Katsuki’s lips press against his own, you watch as the cat daemon showed Izuku what a proper kiss was. Their lips moved together Katsuki pulling out little moans from your Zuzu when he bit his lips demanding entrance to his wet mouth before sliding his rough tongue in. Izuku shuddered wide eyed, cock pulsing inside you as Katsuki’s tongue danced with his own until he pulled away a thin trail of saliva breaking of from the corners of their mouths.
           “That’s how you’re supposed to kiss dumbass,” his rough hands cupped Izuku’s jaw jerking his head to you “now kiss her that way,”
           Izuku again bent down to kiss you, but this time with more tact, your lips moved together more gently and his tongue kitten licked at your bottom lip as opened your mouth tongue immediately running over your mouth as if trying to taste you. A pair of rough fingers began to circle your clit, Izuku’s or Katsuki’s you weren’t sure, but the stimulation of your little nub had you groaning into the kiss legs relaxing around Izuku and wrapping around his waist as he slowly slid the rest of his girth into you. It was a burning deep within you now, not the tearing feeling from before, but a satisfying stretching that had you sucking on Izuku’s invasive tongue as the both of you moaned into each other’s mouths. Finally with a small circulation of his hips Izuku sat snugly inside of your of warm wet cunt he breathed heavily breaking away from the kiss to loom over you, eyes lidded with lust he stared down at you debauched expression not knowing how to handle the feeling of being filled to the brim with a throbbing hot daemon cock.
           “You, you feel amazing mistress,” he groaned clumsily circling his hips into you, your breath caught at the foreign feeling as he his hips rabbited into you, quickly little juts that barely made room between where his thighs pressed into your soft bottom. Behind him you heard Katsuki suck his teeth, clearly unimpressed with Izuku’s method of humping into you, you watched as he grabbed Izuku’s hips biting the rabbit daemon’s sensitive ears. He pulled his hips back ignoring Izuku’s moans as he was dragged out of your clenching cunt wanting nothing more than to thrust back in and snuggle fuck into your intoxicating pussy.
           “No tact whatsoever,” Katsuki growled pulling on the lobe he held in his teeth “no idea how to fuck a pussy, and I though little bunnies like you were supposed to be good at fucking, figures I’d have to show you how to do this to,”
           Katsuki slowly guided Izuku’s hips in and out of you dragging his cock nearly all the way out till the tip caught on your drooling entrance and smoothly sliding it back in angling it so that he knew that spot deep within your gummy walls was graciously caressed. Your back arched off the bed as you moaned hands reaching out for either but ultimately catching on Izuku, nails leaving crescent marks on his biceps and back. His head fell to your neck mouthing there as Katsuki slowly released his hips as he found the rhythm Katsuki had shown him, Katsuki’s hand rested instead rested on Izuku’s freckled behind putting him back on track whenever he lost the beat.
           “That’s it rabbit,” he said guiding him to pick up the pace “give that pussy a good fuck and you’ll have that witch on all fours for you,”
           Izuku got the picture as he pulled up leaving purpling marks on your skin and ignoring the way you whined missing the feel of his weight pressing into you. Instead he grabbed your legs pulling out shuddering as your hole clenched desperately trying to keep him inside. He grabbed your waist flipping you over onto your hands and knees before sliding into you with a fluidity that had your upper half sinking into your pillows. He groaned hands grabbing your sides in a tight grip using his handle on your hips to drag you back to him, as the new position had him so deep in you you found yourself trying to crawl away from him. A sharp clawed hand grabbed your hair jerking you still as Katsuki leaned in close.
           “Stop fucking running witch,” behind you you heard Izuku moan at the sight of Katsuki manhandling you as he jackhammered his cock deep into you kissing your gummy cervix with every thrust.
           “So, so guh mishtress,” his words slurred he threw his head back now fully lost in the throws of his rut “squeezing me uuhhn tight fuckin’ pussy ‘round my cock,” he groaned hips picking up pace. Katsuki moved his hand to play with your painfully sensitive clit the attention causing your legs to tense you came around the cock fucking deep into you, spraying your own cum over the bed with each thrust of Izuku’s cock.
           “Holy shit,” Katsuki breathed biting his own lip in anticipation as he watched you get fucked through your squirting orgasm “you better hurry up rabbit I want my turn,”
           “I’m almost, almost-,” Izuku grunted hunching over you as his hips lost their tune humping sporadically into your still spraying cunt “Cuuhhhmmmiinnng,” he pressed in deep one final time head pressed to your cervix opening pumping your womb full of his heady spunk till it spilled out from you. You both shuddered, you at the feeling of being pumped full for the first time and him at the feeling of having a cunt accept his load for the first time.
           “Damn,” Katsuki said, watching Izuku pull out of you his spunk following suit when his soft cock fully slipped out. Izuku bent down immediately licking his spunk back into your trembling cunt as you whined trying to wriggle away from his prodding tongue on your sensitive cunt. Izuku whimpered as Katsuki grabbed a handful of his curly emerald locks pulling him away from your poor tired cunt before scooping you up in his arms positioning you till you both rested against your pillows and headboard. Your pussy, throbbing and puffy from the pounding it just took jumped as Katsuki slapped his cock up against it, the angry red tip dripping pre on your abdomen. You whimpered squirming away from the pleasure that was already too much.
           “Don’t think about trying to run away from me witch,” he slowly pressed into you before his arms came under your limp thighs pulling them up to your chest and locking them in position as his hands slipped behind your head “not like you’ll be able to though,”
           His planted his feet firmly on your mattress gripping the blanket with his toes before thrusting up, you choked, eyes crossing as his cock seemed to press into every oversensitive spot of your walls. You felt his wet lips latch onto your lobe tongue slipping into your ear lathing slow strokes matching the maddening strokes that his cock dug into your pussy. Futilely your hands pressed into his thighs trying to cease his pumping hips, you heard him chuckle hot breath fanning your ear around the tongue that delved deep into it. You couldn’t make a noise, could barely breath as Katsuki seemed to dig out all thought of anything besides his throbbing cock claiming your greedy pussy that desperately latched on to the pleasure that drove your brain stupid.
Midoriya groaned watching your cunt cream around Katsuki’s cock leaving bubbly rings of tantalizing white that had him licking his lips. He leaned down licking a stripe up Katsuki’s cock till his tongue pressed the mixture of all three of your combined messes into your clit. He wrapped his lips around the nub and sucked. You screamed, the first sound your had truly been able to make since Katsuki had entered you, piercing and long like a banshee that had Katsuki leaving your ear alone to laugh at you, laugh at the dumb little witch fucked even more stupid on his cock. Damn, the old crone that had him before wasn’t even this good a fuck he thought as he began to piston his hips into you feeling his own end creeping on him between your cunt seemingly try to strangle his cock and Izuku’s tongue lapping at your joined sexes.
Without any warning you came moaning and thrashing as much as you could in the full nelson Katsuki had you in, squirting again against the tongue that seemed to be molded stuck to your clit. Katsuki cursed as his feet pressed deeper into the bed hips stuttering up into you as he came, your cunt pumped full for the second time that night with daemon spunk, Izuku finally pulled away from you face dripping in your squirt as he bent down to kiss while Katsuki’s thrust slowed to stop. He released you from your position breathing heavily while you fell forward into Izuku’s arms legs shaking and cock drunk.
“There there mistress,” Izuku cooed, you lazily stared up at his and his eyes seemed to glow an almost sinister green in the moonlight “It’s my turn again and I promise to be gentle,”
You gulped backing up only to be met with Katsuki’s already hardening cock glide under your still dripping pussy. Izuku chuckled gleefully as he shuffled forward his own dick nudging at your poor abused clit. Katsuki growled pinning your arms to your sides before licking a long stripe up your still wet ear.
           “I think you mean that it’s both of our turn rabbit,”

MICHE ZACHARIAS X SHY CADET
Miche finally tells his crush he likes her. That's it
Miche watched her from Erwin’s office as she left the headquarters to enjoy a well-deserved break. The evening sun highlighted her brunette curls, stopping just below her delicate shoulders. It was a shame really, her hair used to touch her waist when she first joined. She was so incredibly shy and anxious back then, struggling to find her place among younger people that were much stronger than her. He remembered back when she declined the promotion for the sake of her happiness. It had been 3 years since y/n joined the survey corps at the age of 20. She was a late beginner, but her analytical skills, a fateful emotional meltdown and a background in research had soon gotten her a place under section commander Hange. Y/n was not good as a fighter, but she was observant, more than Erwin and Hange. Miche could not help but notice her, she was cute after all. She had flaws, just like everyone else, but the veteran soldier was drawn to her in particular. He couldn’t remember when he felt like that for the first time. Maybe it was when he saw her for the first time, clutching a soiled handwritten application and trying her hardest to put on a brave face. Who knows? Who cares? The important part was that he liked her, she did not know and he was not going to tell.
“What are you looking at Miche? “
“N-nothing, Erwin. Go on…”
Miche went back to focusing on the meeting. y/n had already disappeared in the next lane, so there was no point looking outside. The meeting would go on for hours, as usual, veterans had no holidays.
Meanwhile, y/n made herself comfortable near the quiet riverbank. It was one of the few attractions in the little land of Paradis, especially after the fall of Wall Maria. The serene river glowed red under the now darkening sun rays. Y/n had about 30 minutes to draw something, after which it would get too dark. Problem was, y/n had no idea what to draw. So she just sat there, wondering about her life. It seemed self-indulgent to refuse work only to get out and ponder about herself, but she needed it. The chaos inside the headquarters hardly did her any good. She wanted quiet and peace, but what she had right now was just pure loneliness. Y/n had friends, but nobody close or free enough to sit under the open night sky. So she sat all alone over the wall, the cold breeze ruffling her hair. If only there were someone to hold her.
“Bottomline, all of you must prepare your squads for next month’s expedition. We can’t afford to compromise manpower. Pay attention to the weak members, we need them to come back alive. You all are dismissed.”
Miche walked out of Erwin’s office and went straight to his room that he shared with Dieter, another squad leader. He felt tired, as though he knew what was about to come. A lot of action and a shit ton of casualties, not to forget all the rigorous training he was about to deliver on the cadets.
“What a long day..”
“Tomorrow’s going to be longer, Ness.”
“Yeah.”
“Do you think you will make it through the expedition?”
Miche scrunched his nose at the odd yet totally reasonable question. Him and Dieter served the scout regiment since their teenage years, yet they never quite got used to the anxiety before impending doom. Against his overbearing stress, Miche gave him a positive answer hoping to lift his spirits.
“I will make it out alive, Ness. The most damage I will end up with is a lost limb, after which I will retire and live a peaceful life. Don’t worry.” Miche finished with his signature scoff, masking his true emotions. The shameless, pretentious display of cockiness was all worth the little chuckle from Ness, the most sociable, tender man among veterans.
They made their way to the dining hall after chit chatting and freshening up. Their tables had the usual serving of bread, soup and vegetables. His eyes scanned the place for the owner of those beautiful, crazy curls, y/n, she should have been back by now. He couldn’t see her anywhere. Usually it was so easy to spot her in her corner seat. Perhaps Hange assigned her some work, but he couldn’t risk revealing his crush by asking the overly-energetic squad leader. So he quietly finished his plate, feeling just a little hint of emptiness because he missed y/n.
“Nifa, find y/n and tell her I want her in the lab tomorrow at 6am sharp.” Mike overheard Hange speaking from a couple of tables away.
“Yes captain.” Nifa quickly finished her meal and left the dining hall and eventually the headquarters. Her face made it clear that she had done this several times now and Miche was not surprised. Y/n was often in her own head and stayed out for a long time. Miche just found it unusual for her to stay out this late. It was cold outside, no person in their right mind would stay out past 8pm. He wished he knew what was going on inside the girl’s head that made her personality so withdrawn, but he did not have the time. He needed to draft a schedule for this week’s training and tests for the cadets. Just the thought of sitting in an office doing paperwork with a candlelight flickering throughout the night made him feel calm. He was extremely skilled on the field, but he liked doing paperwork too. His studious side was something only his immediate squad and other veterans were familiar with. Sometimes he couldn’t help fantasizing about sharing his study with y/n. Aside from his feelings, y/n had the brains to draft a perfect test that tapped into all the necessary skills for the next expedition. After all, that was what she had been doing before joining the survey corps, albeit in a different field. Miche stopped in his tracks as an idea struck him. He felt dumb, so dumb. He had drafted so many tests, all by himself, fully knowing that there was someone that could probably do it better than him. Fully knowing that y/n had been a psychology student, and she had perfected the theory subjects after joining the survey corps. He turned around and approached Hange.
“Would you mind if I borrow one of your soldiers for a while?”
“That depends, Miche, who are you talking about?”
“Y/n, I need her help drafting the tests tonight. I think she can do a good job.”
“You are right.. I’ll let her know.”
“Tell her to be in my office by 9;30 tonight.”
Miche left for his office to begin work, he wanted to finish as much as he could before y/n showed up. Because work was not the only thing he was concerned about. He knew exactly what he was doing, it was dubious, but he needed to do it. It was funny how a few hours ago he thought he’d never confess his feelings, but later created an opportunity to do that exact thing. He couldn’t believe himself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was 9;30 sharp, and Miche heard a soft knock on his office door.
“Come in, it’s unlocked, and take a seat before me.” He said without lifting his head.
Y/n made herself comfortable and glanced over three open books and a single page. Miche was writing down questions.
“Alright y/n, I need your help drafting the question papers for tomorrow’s tests. Of course, you will be exempted from actually taking the test as a reward.”
“Understood, sir”
“Good, now I want you to create 30 questions that combine the concepts of formations, weaponry and strategy. Make them difficult, and make sure to base it upon the last 5 expeditions.”
“Alright-”
“You have 2 hours to finish this.”
“Okay..” y/n walked over to the bookshelf and grabbed a heap of books. Miche raised his eyebrows in confusion,
“How are you going to refer to that many books and finish it within time?” Miche questioned her.
“I will, don’t worry.” y/n’s sudden confidence took him aback.
“Well good luck.”
Time flew by quickly as both of them were engrossed in their work, the only sounds coming from the candle and turning of pages. It wasn’t peaceful to be precise, y/n was turning pages with such aggression it made the section commander steal glances at her. She would flip through the pages and write down important points, constantly checking the time as she worked. Her handwriting got messier as time flew by and Miche couldn’t help but notice. He could tell that y/n totally had the plan to give those cadets a hard time. She had a weak, but cocky smirk the whole time, and Miche was just glad that he was not one of the people that would need to take the test. He knew that expression and aggressive handwriting very well. She always wore that smirk while writing exams, and everytime she came out on top. Miche knew she was overcompensating for her sub-par physique and iron-deficiency that interfered with her ODM skills, but that semblance of confidence on her face always turned him on. Her hair was still messed up, she struggled to keep that twisted fringe out of her face.
“Where’s the ruler?!” Y/n asked loudly, shaking Miche out of his trance.
“Wait…” He fished out a ruler from the clutter in his drawer and handed it to y/n.
“What are you drawing?”
“A wrong diagram of the latest formation.” Y/n replied curtly.
“I see.. Good.”
Miche was organizing his drawer after finishing his work when y/n handed him the tests. It was 11;30 sharp. The ink had somehow gotten between y/n’s fingers. Miche went through all seven pages of three extremely complicated tests and shot a glance at y/n, who looked like she was awaiting his praise. She was sitting with her back straight, wide eyed and messy hair. Miche chuckled, and y/n smiled. She knew she had done those cadets dirty with her questions.
“You have a naughty side, don’t you?” “Kitten” , was the term Miche refrained from using at the end.
Y/n nodded with a cheeky grin. The section commander squinted and got up from his chair, towering over her. A faint blush crept over her cheeks as she broke eye contact with him, staring down at her feet instead. Her delicate shoulders now looked tensed up under her transparent, embroidered shoulder shawl. The pile of paperwork didn’t allow him to notice her beautiful blush pink dress. She had embroidered little flowers to accentuate her figure all the way down to her hips.
“You look beautiful in that dress.” Miche blurted out, causing her to blush harder and breathe unevenly.
“Thank you, sir..”
“Look at me when you speak.”
“O-okay..” she slowly raised her head, still not wanting to make eye contact.
“I will be straight to the point y/n… I like you, not just as a comrade.”
“Understood.” y/n was taking quick, short breaths, causing the tall blonde to get on his knees. She had gone back to her timid mouse state and he could no longer read her.
“Are you scared right now?” Miche tried hard to not sound like a creep.
“No, I like you too!”
“That’s -” he began to speak but got cut off.
“More than a comrade, if you were wondering…” she trailed off shyly. Miche kept staring at her, dumbstruck at her honest confession. This whole time he had no idea about her feelings.
"When were you planning to tell me ..?" Miche asked, pulling a chair behind him. He was still leaning towards y/n with an expression of pure shock.
"I… Never planned on saying anything." Y/n's expression saddened as she looked at him with her doe eyes.
"I can understand.". he was telling the truth. The realisation that their confessions were a result of his impulsive decision dawned on him. He couldn't take his eyes off her form. She looked anxious, fondling with her pendant in one hand.
"Do you want to take this further?" Y/n asked with a shaky voice, and his answer was immediate.
"Yes."
She looked straight into his eyes and smiled.
"Can I kiss you?" The 35 year old man felt like a teenager trying to walk on eggshells. The woman before him giggled and nodded in approval, finally lifting her hand from the pendant. She was starting to settle down, although the butterflies in her stomach made it difficult. Miche was about to lean in when she stopped him and got up from her chair.
"I forgot to lock the door." She said naughtly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I really wanted to turn this into a smut, but I am too chicken. 🙈🥺

THE NANNY - ELIAS PETTERSSON X READER
Tumblr media
inspired by this fragment of what bo said in a interview about letting the team babysit Gunnar
ps: i don’t know if they nicknamed him Gunnsey, just saw Jake call him that once 
ps2: this is not proofread so just a warning
Word count: 3.4 k (a bit longer than what i usually do)
Warnings: kidnap is mention a couple times jokingly bc petey at first thinks Y/N’s kidnapping the kid, even though it’s meant 100% as a joke i know it could be triggering so just letting you know, however just in case keep in mind it’s never used seriously
Summary: Elias doesn’t know Bo and Holly hired a nanny so the first time he sees you with the baby he freaks out a little, eventually apologizes and there's fluff (i suck at summaries)
Masterlist
Add yourself to the taglist!
Tumblr media
Elias was coming out of the dressing room when he saw you rushing down the hall with a little kid in your arms that he knew for sure wasn’t yours, because it was in fact his captain's son. So he did what seemed like the reasonable thing to do: look for Bo or Holly to tell them. Luckily Bo was near the door finishing his interview with a couple reporters.
“Hey Bo?” he approached him as soon as the reporters left.
“What Petey?” He could see the alarmed look on the boy’s face.
“I think I saw a girl running away with your kid.” he told Bo, who was about to lose it when he saw you walking down the hall in their direction with his son in your arms. He let out a relieving sigh, making Elias confused. If it was his child he definitely would be calling 911 by now.
“Is that the girl you were talking about?” Bo asked, pointing at you. The hall had become more crowded since the rest of his teammates started coming out, but he could see you as you stretched your neck and looked around for someone. Elias nodded, getting more confused by the second.
“That’s our nanny dumbass.” he informed him, hitting him in the back of the head for making him needlessly worry.
“A Nanny?” 
“Yes a nanny Elias. She looks after our kid, takes care of him. Don’t they have those in Sweden?” He knew what a nanny was and Bo’s sarcastic remark only made him feel more stupid. Of course you were the nanny, it was pretty obvious, now that he looked at you he could see you were carrying the bag Holly normally brought everywhere with Gunnar’s stuff.
“They do I just-” he started to defend himself but instantly shut up when he saw you appear next to him.
“Hey look it’s your daddy!” you said to little Gunnar in your arms as the baby stretched his arms toward his father making grabby hands. Bo smiled at his son and took him in his arms, but you could tell there was a bit of concern on his face.
”Is everything, okay?” you asked.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s just that Petey here though you were kidnapping Gunnar and almost gave me a heart attack.” Bo explained. Elias looked down embarrassed as his cheeks turned red. You on the other hand were too busy panicking to even notice the blushing mess standing next to you.
The Horvats had hired you mainly to help Holly around the house since she was getting back to her work and especially when Bo had to go on roadtrips. They also wanted Gunnar to get familiar with you, that’s why you were there tonight. This was your first time with them out of the house, if you did something wrong they wouldn’t trust you so they would probably fire you and you really needed the job.
“Oh my God, I’m sorry! I forgot my phone back on our seats and Holly had gone to the bathroom and you were still in there and I couldn’t leave him alone-”
“Y/N don’t worry. It’s fine.” he interrupted you with a sweet tone that made you ease the anxiety that started building up at the thought of losing your job before it even really started.
“I’m so sorry I should have told you before disappearing with Gunnsey.”
“Really don’t worry Y/N.” he kept reassuring you, but you couldn't shake off that bad feeling.
“What happened?” Holly asked after joining you and seeing your expression.
“Nothing, just a little misunderstanding Everything’s okay Y/N, really don’t worry.” Bo answered before you could and gave you a sweet smile that helped you calm your nerves. He would obviously tell Holly when they were back home, but it wasn’t a big deal and he didn’t want to make you feel like they were coming down on you.
Elias was starting to feel a bit out of place there so he excused himself, said goodbye and left to find his friends, but not before giving you one final look. Now that he didn’t think you were trying to kidnap his teammate's kid he found you really pretty and felt even worse for what he made you go through. You were smiling and chatting with Bo and Holly about the game, but he could see you were still a bit nervous. 
He made his way towards Jake, Quinn and Brock, who were already looking at him suggestively after seeing the whole interaction, completely obvious to the fact their friend had actually screwed up big time.
“Who’s that?” Brock was the first to ask, wiggling his eyebrows.
“She’s Bo and Holly’s new nanny.”
“I didn’t know they hired a nanny.” Quinn was the one talking now.
“Yeah, me neither and I kind of thought she was kidnapping Gunnsey-” he started to explain but instantly regretted it when he saw the looks on his friend’s faces. He was never going to hear the end of this.
“No you didn’t!” Brock cut him off and everyone started laughing, everyone except Elias who just shook his head trying once again to hide his embarrassment.
“Way to make a first impression Petey. She must hate you.” Jake said putting his arm around Elias. 
“Fuck off.” he replied pushing his arm off and walking away towards the parking lot as he heard their laughs behind him. He was not in the mood to endure the teasing from his friends.
On the drive to his apartment he couldn’t stop thinking about it. He knew Bo and Holly weren’t going to fire you, they were nice reasonable people who understood it was all a misunderstanding; a misunderstanding caused by him. Yet he couldn’t shake off the feeling he should have said something or at least apologize. So he promised himself that was the exact thing he was gonna do when he saw you again.
-
The next time Elias saw you was a couple weeks later. Bo and Holly were hosting a barbecue for the whole team and had asked you to come over and help look after Gunnar while they prepared everything.
Elias walked into the house with one thing in mind: apologizing to you. However as he made his way through the house towards the backyard he couldn’t find you anywhere. He took a sit next to a sit with the rest of his teammates and tried to make casual conversation but his mind was stuck on you.
Bo noticed the way Elias was barely talking and constantly looking around for someone and it didn’t take him long to realize that someone was you. Elias had asked him about you a couple times at practice and games after what had happened the other night, but he still didn’t know if he was just being polite and wanted to apologize or there was something more going on.
“She’s inside playing with Gunnar in his room.” Bo leaned in to tell him so the rest wouldn’t hear, then he simply turned around and continued working on the grill. Elias was a bit confused at first, he didn’t understand how Bo could even know what he was even thinking about. However he quickly stood up mumbling some excuse about going to the bathroom and headed towards the house.
He found you sitting on a little couch with Gunnar in your lap reading a book. You were too focused on explaining the drawings on the pages to the kid to notice his presence. Elias stayed a couple seconds by the door in silence, not wanting to intrude in the sweet moment you were having. He couldn’t help but smile as he heard the sweet high pitch voice you used when talking to the little kid, how you’d smile and make a funny face at Gunnar, how he would laugh at you which only made both your smiles grow wider. If the other day he had thought you were pretty, today he was convinced you were beautiful.
Eventually you finished the book and Elias thought it was time to make his presence known before you notice he had been there the whole time and thought he was creeping on you or something. He was sure you already had a bad impression of him, no need to make it worse. He gently knocked on the door and your face shot up at him.
“Hey.” he said shyly walking into the room.
“Hi.” you replied as you got up with Gunnar still in your arms. The kid wrapped his arms around you and rested his face in your chest, it was clear he would fall asleep any moment from now.
“Can we talk?” Elias asked, not sure how to begin the conversation and a little afraid you’d blow him off.
“S-sure.” you replied a bit confused as to what he wanted to talk about. “But in a low voice, he’s really close to falling asleep.”
“Oh yeah sure.” he immediately lowered his tone to almost a whisper which you found cute. A small giggle escaped your lips.
“I’m Elias by the way.” he said, extending his hand but quickly putting it away and blushing when he realized you wouldn’t be able to shake it since you were holding the kid.
“Y/N. You’re Bo’s teammate, right? The one who thought I was kidnapping Gunnsey.” you added a smirk and arched brows, making his cheeks turn even redder. You were joking about it, that’s a good sign Elias though. Maybe you didn’t hate him.
“Yeah, that’s what I wanted to talk about. I’m so sorry.” he finally said, letting out a deep sigh. He had been beating himself up about it since that night some weeks ago and finally being able to apologize was like taking a huge weight off of his shoulders. You could tell.
“Don’t worry, it was just a misunderstanding. I mean if I saw a stranger basically running down a hall with one of my friend’s kids I’d think the worst too. You did nothing wrong Elias.” you reassured him. Yes at the moment you nearly had a heart attack and felt a bit of resentment towards that guy who thought you could even do something like that, but after all you didn’t lose your job and you could tell Elias genuinely regret everything that had happened.
“Still I shouldn’t have thought you were kidnaping a child, you don’t look like you’d do that.”
“Glad to know I look like a decent human being.”
“You do! I mean not that I thought you didn’t. I-I think you look really pretty- really decent!” Elias started rambling trying to correct himself but felt he was only making everything worse. However you found the blushing mess of a man in front of you actually really cute.
“Thanks Elias, you look really decent too.” you told him with a sweet smile that helped calm his nerves down. He beamed down and at you and held your gaze. The room went silent but it wasn’t awkward at all. At one point you could have swore his blue eyes had hypnotized you.
“Oh you put him to sleep.” Holly said, appearing suddenly next to you. Only then you noticed at some point in your conversation with Elias Gunnar had fallen asleep in your arms. You then proceeded to walk up to the little bed and tried to lay the sleeping kid as gently as possible to not wake him up.
“You should head to the yard with us, grab something to eat.”
“Are you sure? What if he wakes up and-”
“Don’t be silly, that’s why we have the baby monitor. Come on, Elias can present you to the rest of the team.” she said hooking her arms with yours and basically dragging you out of the room too quickly to notice Elias blushed cheeks and for him to notice yours.
Just like Holly said Elias introduced you to the rest of the team before moving an empty chair so you could sit next to him. You didn’t miss the way his friends looked at you two and smirked, but decided not to make a deal out of it, just boys being boys.
The rest of the afternoon was spent eating, talking and laughing; mostly with Elias. At first you were part of the group conversation, but eventually your bodies started slowly turning to the point you were basically facing each other and having a conversation of your own.
He told you about him, how long he had been teammates with Bo, his love for hockey, how he felt moving to the states; he even showed off a little telling you about his rookie year and how he won the Calder trophy. 
And you told him about yourself, what you were studying, how you started babysitting and a friend connected you with the Horvats. He listened to everything you said, no matter how boring and mundane it seemed to you. You weren’t traveling the country living your dream like him, but to him every single fact you told him about yourself was impressive. You genuinely felt heard which wasn’t something common, especially dealing with guys.
Gunnar stayed asleep for most of the time. Only once he woke up and when he did Holly insisted she would take care of it, that she missed her baby boy. But you knew she was just doing it so you could stay with Elias, and you internally thanked her for it.
You completely lost track of time and by the time you checked your phone's couldn't believe it was already almost evening.
“I should get going.” you announced getting up and the rest of the group booed.
“Come on it’s not even 6pm.” Jake said.
“I know, but I have an exam tomorrow and I should go over everything one last time.”
“Do you have a ride?” Holly asked.
“No but I’ll just take an uber-”
“Petey can drive you.” Jake proposed without even looking at his friend who was debating on whether to kill him or thank him.
“But he’s the designated driv-” Quinn started to say but shut up when Brock nudged him on the ribs with his elbow. It was embarrassingly obvious his friends were setting him up, but if it meant getting more times with you Elias didn’t mind. He’d deal with them later.
You looked at Elias who by now had stood up with you and was reaching for his keys on his pocket. “You really don’t have to.”
“Oh I was already thinking about leaving, don’t worry.” he reassured you but you were pretty sure the idea never crossed his mind till you have decided to leave.
Your apartment wasn’t far from the house so in a couple of minutes Elias was parking his car in front of the door of your building. Throughout the night a feeling started slowly growing inside of you. You could tell he was a genuinely nice guy, he apologized and spent the rest of the day getting to know you, genuinely interested in everything you told him. It was clear a connection was starting to form between the two of you and neither wanted it to stop.
“Thank you for the ride. You really didn’t have to.” you said once again, eyes stuck on the windshield.
“It’s the least I could do after the whole misunderstanding the other day.” he replied and the car fell into a comfortable silence. You knew it was time to say goodbye, but part of you wished you didn’t have to. Elias was thinking the exact same. He knew what he wanted, he wanted to see you again, but he couldn’t find the words and a part of him doubted if you were just being friendly and it was all in his head.
“Are you going to our next home game next friday?”
“Maybe, I don’t know if Holly and Bo will ask me to go with Gunssey.”
“I mean you could go by yourself …” he started to say and made a pause to look at you, gathering the courage he needed before adding: “to see me.”
“Would you like me to go see you?” you asked, finally turning your head to look at him.
“Yeah I’d really like that.” he replied without missing a beat. The smile that appeared in your face the moment you heard his words made every last bit of doubt disappear inside Elias.
He started to lean into you, heart beating fast on his chest, holding your gaze. You raised your hand gently cupping his cheek and bringing him even closer. His eyes went from yours to your lips and back to your eyes. You were so close you were basically breathing each other's breath. But when your lips were about to touch he stopped and whispered: “You still haven’t answered.”
“I’d love to-” you let out between giggles. He didn’t even let you finish and was already connecting his lips to yours, unable to hold himself back any longer.
His lips were soft against yours, but determinate, setting the rhythm. It was a shy kiss, your first one of many to come. At some point you took off your seat belts to be more comfortable, only prolonging the moment. You’d stop to catch your breath with your foreheads touching, but the second your eyes connected again, go back to kissing, like you couldn’t get enough.
“I should go in, people are gonna start wondering why there’s been a sports car parked in the front door for the last couple minutes.” you joked, definitely pulling away from him but not daring to look at him because you knew if you did you were never getting out of the car. He leaned back on his seat, still in disbelief of everything that had happened. You looked at him one last time before you were about to get out of the car, and decided one last kiss wouldn’t hurt nobody.
He was surprised at first when he felt your hand sneak to the back of his neck, but smiled again into the kiss once he felt your lips connect to his. It took every bit of self control you had to pull away again and get off the car before.
“Friday then?” you said peeking your head through the open window of the car.
He nodded before adding: “And then we could go out? Have some dinner?”
“Sounds perfect.” You didn’t even try to hide the smile on your face.
“See you on friday then.”
“Goodbye Petey.” you said and he chuckled at how you had already started using the nickname his teammates had put him. He loved how it sounded coming from you.
“Goodbye Y/N.”
You turned around and started making your way to the building and Elias waited till you were in to drive away. You entered your apartment and let yourself fall on the couch, a loud chuckle scaping your lips just thinking about everything that had happened today. That bubbling feeling sill strong inside you, unable to take your mind off of the cute hockey player who couldn’t tell a nanny from a kidnapper.
