He's so pretty in this pic, I love the expression - or lack thereof. Like, his expression is almost neutral, but then he also got the slight frown in his eyebrows, the very subtle pout and he's breaking eye contact so it's like he's lightly bothered by the situation but you can't tell in which way, if he's actually hiding annoyance, embarrassment or what else. Or if there's just something on his mind he's trying to ignore but cannot. I love these kinds of expressions so much.

The Playfellow Crew
Chapter 1, Part 1
1969, December.
"Where is it?" Ritzy was busy looking for the apple she grabbed to work. She woke up late that day and had no time to prepare her meal. "Anyone? Does anyone seen my apple?" She yells at the studio filled with busy studio crews dragging and moving props around the set. She was frustrated, it was the umpteenth time this happens to her for last three months.
She went to Fionn Finnigan in the Art department, slamming the door open and walk near him."Piyon! Can you help me..." (She had hard time seeing the difference of F and P pronunciation) Rambling about how she was late at work and didn't made herself a lunch box and was opt to grab an apple that is now missing.
"Is that about an apple again?" Fionn was a man in 20's yet still younger than Ritzy and yes he has seen this scene before.
"Yes?" Still sobbing. "I'm already tired and I'm hungry and ...."
"Why don't just buy your meal here, Ritzy?"
"I'm still your senior so address me Mrs. Ritzy?"
"Why the hell will I do that? You're the only one addressing people like that!" He glared at her annoyed and taking a deep breath to listen.
Her eyes grew bigger and looking up to this tall figure. "No, I'm not! And they like it even so I'm the only one..." she pulls him down as she notice herself getting a bit louder. "Also I'm saving my money for my family, remember? I can't be just spending money here and there!" She slumped to the side of his desk and lowers her head.
Fionn stood up to his drawing desk with a straight face and drags Ritzy away from the Art department. He takes a deep breath and spoke "Ms.... Er... No. Mrs. Santos, here have this cash and buy something in that vending machine." He hands her a few dollar and points out to the vending in the corner.
She looks at him with hesitation and mutters, "But its your money!"
"No buts, You can have that!" He still pointing to the vending machine and waiting for her to move.
She looked at him, embarrassed with the cash she received. She nods and thanks him, she felt humbled and went to vending machine. She took two energy bar, glances at him and suddenly runs to him. "Here, take this, Piyon."
Fionn wants to correct Ritzy but he didn't, she might be older but for him he should the bigger man in this situation.
"I know I've been making a big fuzz about this apple thing, but this job is too frustrating... Imagine, for the past 3 months since I started this video technician-ing thing, things are getting weirder and weirder in set. Apples starts disappearing, few staff getting injured, and sometimes the whole footage of the show just kept on doing those weird glitches. Like, that's my job to look after the final footage, it was all running smooth until all of a sudden that freaking thing happened."
Fionn turned his head to Ritzy, alarmed hearing about that incident. "You know what? I have the same experience like you..."
She turns her head to Fionn after hearing those word. "Really?"
"Yeah, You know me, right? I'm a part of the animation and art direction of the this show, right?"
"Uh huh.." she got herself invested and leans in his side.
"Yet everytime i check our panels and plate, there's this weird scribbles on the each animation panels... Wait." He then stood up and drags Ritzy to the archive, took an envelope and pulls out a several animation board panels. "...here look at this. I don't get it ... I swear, look! Those are not there before... Those are evaluated and inspected before getting approved and I... I received it spotless but...."
Ritzy examined each panels and laid them to the light table. "You're saying you don't understand these scribbles? was it from anyone in your department?"
"Yeah, they seems to be drawn by a kid, based on the handwriting strokes, it has difficulty to grasp with pen, here" he points into a pressed squiggly line in the panel "The line got no control on... The strokes are shaking and heavy, it ruins the whole panel."
"Yeah, you're right... But why they are sabotaging our works?" In her peripheral vision, there was someone's watching them from the door. More like a shadow. "D'you see that, Piyon?" Ritzy glued her eyes to him like telling him not to move and act like nothing happened.
"The what?" He looked at her puzzled.
"There was someone watching us from afar... I don't know why but it might be a ghost or something." Her trembling hand reached into her pocket, wrapped her pearl rosary in her hand and hold on it tightly. "Piyon, stay observant, okay?" This gesture confuses Fionn yet he nods obediently. "Oh, about this ..." She shook the wrapper of energy bar, "I owe you." Then she left looking around for something in the Art department

Fine by dusk
Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Smut, Angst, A/busive Relationships, veteran Bellamy working construction, Nurse Clarke;
Words: 15,415
Bellamy and his contruction crew are hired to fix the Griffin manor's back porch and garden. Clarke's stuck in an abusive marriage with Finn who's dream is to have the perfect family life so he could rise through the ranks, become mayor, then perhaps even senator and he doesn't care what he has to do to get it. Meanwhile Clarke feel sad and uncertain of what is even happening to her anymore. That is until she lays eyes on Bellamy Blake.
Bellarke Christmas exchange, written for @dark-scape
"I love it." she admitted "Used to want to go to art school."
"Why didn't you?" she shrugged and looked down at their hands that were so close to each other that all she wanted to do was take his fingers in hers and never let go of them.
"I don't know...mom wanted me to go to medschool and I did grow to love being a nurse."
"But your true passion is drawing?" she hummed and he picked up her chin with his hand, putting their faces really close to each other again. "You should keep up with it."
"I only started drawing again recently." she didn't tell him it had all to do with him but judging by the cocky smile he got on his face, he read right through her.
"Oh yeah? Was there any reason why?"
"I got inspired again." she admitted and decided to tease him as she pushed closer and now their noses touched while her hand reached over to his middle where she put the stethoscope earlier. He reached to put his beer aside and take his leg off the table too, coming in even closer to her. Two could play this game and she was intent to show him that.
"By what?" he asked and she smiled as she snuck her hand under his shirt for a brief moment and grazing his ribs with her nails. His stomach jumped, so did his dick in his pants that were getting really thight for him.
"I have no idea." she said innocently as she pulled away and made his breath hitch again. "What about you? Any passions?" she picked up the plates from the table and went to the sink where she threw away whatever was left in them and turned the water on. Bellamy wasn't stupid-he understood the signs clearly, she wanted this as much as he did and they were simply fooling around right now, playing their game.
He got on his feet and limped to the counter where he leaned on it from behind and trapped her so that she couldn't move. He leaned into her ear and whispered.
"War. I've always been good at it." he admitted. Her breath hitched and she dropped the plate she was holding as the water kept beating on it. When he pushed a bit harder from behind her, rubbing his half-hard dick against her butt, she gasped and he reached to tuck a strand of hair fallen on her cheek, behind her ear. "That and...history. Writing. I like that."
"So you're a writer?"
"Used to be. Overtime I just got better at holding a rifle as I said. Some people may find it to be fucked up but..." he let his hand fall to her side and he quickly snuck it under her arm, so he'd be able to cup her breasto over her thin shirt and make her move on her toes and press hard against his body.
"It isn't." she looked back at him and he smiled at her as he looked down on her. With his good hand he reached out and turned the tap off, then he placed it on her lower stomach, close to her crotch and pushed her harder against his body, rubbing his dick up and down her crack a little without breaking eye-contact with her. "Maybe you should pick it up again." she offered, gasping for it. Her hand flew to his wrist, desperate to hold onto something and he just smiled devilishly again. She hadn't felt that hot and aroused in...maybe ever, she was already pathetically dripping in her panties, so bad, she just wanted to touch herself and his cock pressing against the crack of her ass made it worse despite the fact that it was all happening with their clothes on.
"I don't know...I found a new hobby lately. I think you and I share it." he whispered as his other hand worked to find her nipple and pinch it between his fingers while his other hand went lower to cup her crotch through her jeans. She wasn't sure if he could feel the wetness there already but his eyes widened a little which meant he probably could.
"What's that?"
"Undressing at the window every night and making me go crazy about you." he whispered before he finally leaned down and kissed her.
Clarke lost any ground she had and almost collapsed in his arms-this felt like nothing she's ever done. His lips were so soft against hers and his tongue didn't just move uncomfortably in her mouth, desperate to do something like Finn's did, no...he just kissed her slowly, wanted to become one with her and allowed her the chance to also take charge if she wanted, which she did.

indecision pt 3 | billy loomis x reader
Tumblr media
a/n: yeah yeah it's been awhile life sucks not much to say about that, i'm trying here 🫡
wc:885
part 1 part 2
your p.o.v.
you were sitting in the edge of your bed, it was only four in the morning. you had another seven hours before you were supposed to go meet billy. your stomach was twisting in knots as you tried to calm your nerves. sleep has long evaded you. you weren't sure how all of this would work out. but it was too late for regrets now in your mind.
you heard your window being shimmied, you'd rushed over, your eyes nearly buldging out of your sockets as you saw who was in the other side of the glass. you unlocked your window and pushed it open wide so he could get in, he must've changed his clothes somewhere along the way. his new clothes free of corn-syrup and blood. you yanked him inside, he fell on top of you again, much like a few days ago, you cushioned his fall.
you rolled him off top of yourself, before you stuck your head out the window looking both ways before quickly shutting it and drawing the blinds together. you didn't see anyone watching but you were a bit paranoid at the feeling of someone seeing him here.
"billy." you'd said softly almost as if you didn't believe he was here.
"hey doll, god, i've missed you." billy's hand caressed the side of your face pulling you back down to him.
"billy. what are you doing here? what if they've seen you?" your mind losing its filter as your mouth began running like a waterfall every scenario you could think up leaving your tongue before billy pulled you into a kiss, his tongue gliding against your bottom lip asking for entrance which you granted him, his tongue whirled against yours as his hands embraced your waist making all your worries melt at the moment. billy pulled away softly before looking you in your eyes.
"something felt off, i couldn't wait that much longer to see you," billy said wiping the stray tear from beneath your eye, you didn't even know you'd shed.
"billy they wanted me to set you up, they think they're gonna apprehend you in the morning, behind the theater."
"that's where we were supposed to go for our first date," billy paused a small smile gracing his face. "then i decided to take you to that little italian restaurant."
"giovanni's." you confirmed "why'd you come here? what if they're watching me?"
"i hopped a few fences i didn't use the side walk, i think i'm good here." billy said he started to sit up, he looked to still be a little sore, you lifted up his shirt to get a glimpse of the injuries you didn't get to see when he'd initially came to get you. you'd seen some jagged stitches and some yellowing bruises, but it looked like he'd survive, just a few flesh wounds.
"im alright baby, i think we sh-" billy was cutoff by a knock on your door.
"hun? who ya talking too in there?" your dad started to fiddle with the handle
"not dressed!" you shouted before bolting to the door, almost planting face first into the wood as you used your whole body to close the door, while you locked it.
"oh , sorry honey! are you alright? i thought i heard you talking in there to someone?"
"it was just some lame movie dad, now can i have some privacy?" you said more confidently
"ohm, alright. i'm here if you need me honey, i know you don't exactly like me right now- but i- i'm still your father. i still love you." your dad said, he hadn't left the door you could still feel his presence and see the shadow of his feet at the bottom of the door, blocking the hallway light, he must've been waiting for a response.
"yeah, love you too, see you in the morning." you'd rushed out. you saw his feet walk away from the door, you waited a bit more before you decided to relax.
"i think we should go now." billy said and before you knew it you heard gravel crushing the rocks outside as a car pulled in front of your house.
"wait, billy, someone's here." you heard the knock on your door, you listened as your father walked to open the door. you heard the series of locks being taken off the door before your father opened it, your ear was pressed to the door. the words were muffled but you heard them clearly enough
"agent grant? what are you doing here?" you heard your father question. your mouth dropped open as your throat went dry.
"billy!" you whisper shouted as you dashed across your room to grab the bag you packed, you tossed it to him so you could began dressing yourself into something warmer.
"y/n what's going on?" billy asked in a whisper throwing the straps of the bag over his shoulders.
"no time to talk." you said as you began sliding your window open but before you could scatter out your window there was a knock on your door
"y/n" it was your dad again, he'd paused for a moment giving you time to respond, though you hadn't thought of a response. "agent grant is here, he'd like to talk to you."

Lately the seasonal gloom is starting to get to me again, so I have been thinking a lot about this stuff. A friend of mine picked out a few places where the art had problems, and I think I hate having to explainificate these kinds of things where they should be a little obvious I guess... When I'm not in the best of places the only purpose it serves is kind of dragging me down even if that wasn't the intention. Here's why. Well. It's officially passed two years since work on this began and i'll have to say i've learned so much more doing this for two years straight than if i'd just put out a chapter a year like I was. For a bit I almost felt like I was in an artistic rut where things weren't getting better as i'd hoped, my mind's since changed looking back at my old work. That being said I don't think I really finally hit my stride until chapter 13- and by hitting my stride, I mean that I'd worked out the worst kinks I had in the pipeline. By that time, I also got a handle on depicting action. Around that time it's since been about a year. Volume 2 opens with an important disclaimer- Chapters 10-12 were worked on with huge gaps of time between and are slightly out of order leading to some quality jumps. All of them were years apart and 12 was completed before i'd finished the 9 odd chapters of the reboot, and 12 is probably my least favorite of them all because of that. My inexperience really bit me there, having picked up drawing the manga from basically nothing and riding on a flawed approach. It might seem like a lot, and it is in a way. But I have to always make sure i'm viewing it on a grander scale- that it is a longform story meant to be several times larger than what's available. It hasn't even hit the first arc's midpoint. Anyway yeah, that's my cope to avoid this self defeating hole I tend to fall into when I'm frustrated and feel like this total lack of engagement I've always been at the butt end of is because it sucks. I know in my heart it makes me happy so I hate that it ends up meaning so much to me because I've craved sharing it with someone else who finds it interesting. TL;DR I am casually aware of the flaws in my work due to inexperience, however, I maintain faith that as a whole it's rock solid. I'm a self conscious person prone to nonsensical self doubts even when I know something is true.

Beautiful Dreams👀👀
Aww thanks for asking about this one. Nice to know it still has some fans even though I've been so neglectful and slow. (omg this is a terrible example of why I have to search the word 'sigh' in every editing session)
What would you like to see for WIP Wednesday
“I’m sorry,” Marinette said quickly, drawing back, but Luka slid his hands down to hers and didn’t let her go far. “I just thought...you might want a distraction but...I’m sorry.” 
“It’s okay.” He brought her hands to his lips, and remembered just in time to turn them and press his kiss to her palm instead of her knuckles. “Please don’t be upset, it’s just—”
“No, I get it, I should have thought, I just…” She bit her lip and slipped one hand free to run her fingers through his hair. “I don’t know what to do,” she whispered, and the helplessness in her voice hurt his heart. “If you were—but you’re not, and I knew what he needed but I don’t know what to do for you. Do you...just want me to leave you alone?”
“No,” Luka sighed, drawing her closer. “No, don’t leave me. You don’t need to do anything, just...sit with me for a minute, and then we can go back to bed.” He lowered his head to her shoulder, looping his arms loosely around her waist. “Is this okay?” 
“Of course,” Marinette whispered, putting her arms around him and beginning to pet his hair. It felt good, and he breathed deeply, taking in her scent and feeling the warmth of her skin. He turned his face slightly to brush his lips against her neck, and slowly relaxed into her. 
After a few moments he felt Marinette sigh beneath him. “Luka, have you...talked to anybody about this?” she asked, hesitantly, like she was afraid of his reaction. 
“Yeah,” he sighed. “I saw a grief counselor for the first few months. All of us did, actually. Sometimes together. I have a grief support group on Wednesdays. I went every week for a while, but I’ve only been going a couple of times a month lately. I was already thinking I should go this week, so I guess this is just confirming it.” He hesitated. “Maybe...you can absolutely say no, but I wouldn’t mind some company if you’re free. I used to take Juleka but she really doesn’t need it as much anymore and I feel like I’m just dragging her back down into it, so it would be nice to have someone there with some distance. Just for support, you know.” He sighed. “It can be intense, though, so I totally understand if you don’t want to. I’m used to going on my own. You can think about it, if you want, and let me know.” 
He felt her sigh again, felt the tension in her body, and almost regretted asking.
“I’ll...I’ll think about it,” she said weakly. 
Luka let his arms drop from around her waist sliding his hands down to rest lightly on her thighs instead, as he straightened and sat back to look at her.  
“It’s really okay if you’d rather not,” Luka told her, searching her eyes. “I go by myself all the time.”
Her hand found his on her thigh and she laced their fingers together. “But you want me to come.” 
“Only if it won’t be too much for you.”  
Marinette looked hesitant for another moment, and then leaned forward and pressed a kiss into his shoulder. “I’ll come if I can clear my schedule. If it’s too much, then we’ll know and we can find someone else to go with you next time.” 
Luka smiled, and lifted her hand to kiss the little ladybug. ”Okay. That’s fair. Thank you, Marinette.” 
Marinette lifted her free hand to cup his cheek, and he leaned into the touch with a sigh. 
“Is there anything else you need right now?” she asked. “Can I get you anything?” 
Luka shook his head. “Let’s just go back to bed. I think I can sleep now.” 
They got back into bed and settled, and Luka curled up against Marinette’s back, wrapping his arms around her, already feeling heavy and tired. Marinette squirmed and began to slide away from him. Luka’s arms tightened for just an instant reflexively before letting go, aware that she hated being held while she was sleeping. Marinette paused and sighed, and then settled back against him. “It’s okay,” she said, but Luka pulled his arms back.
“No, it isn’t,” he said softly, laying a hand on her arm and stroking it with his thumb. “Let’s find something that works for both of us, okay?” 
They ended up on their sides with Marinette snuggled against his back, curled along the curve of his body with one arm around his chest and Luka’s hand over hers, her face in the crook of his shoulder, satisfying both his desire to have her close and her need to not feel confined. 
Luka didn’t dream anymore that night, and the next time he woke, it was to Marinette’s light kisses along his neck. Okay, he thought as he turned over into her arms and found her soft mouth with his own. Even nights like that were worth it, as long as the morning still came.

this post is for mouse, but you can read it, too, if you want.
i hope you like the random photos i've been choosing. xD you've probably seen them all before, but it's still kind of fun to try to match them up with how i think the current post might go. the magnolia trees downtown will be blooming again soon so this one felt appropriate. i had another idea of what photo i might've used for this one, but i can't remember what it was. maybe next time.
anyways.
things have been going okay lately, with spring getting here and daylight savings happening, i'm finally starting to feel like a human again. it's been getting a bit better since i started working from home anyway, but more light is definitely helping. that said, i think the time change fucked me up real bad. i haven't been able to get out of bed before 930-945 all week (yay for working from home and working in my bed), i've been exhausted and i still can't sleep at night. shit's problematic. hopefully next week is smoother, but if this is the price i have to pay for daylight, i'll gladly pay it 50 times over.
A's internship/job is over now; she was hoping she could stay there, but long story short her manager and one of the HR people are both super ableist and discriminatory. she asked for disability accommodations (4 days of 8 hours a day instead of 5 days of 8 hours) and everything blew up in her face even though her request was perfectly legal and reasonable. i had just gone to a deep-dive webinar about the Americans with Disabilities Act a week or two before all this went down and i was appalled at the actual laws her workplace broke. to make it even wilder, she works at a community health center, doing things like, y'know, helping clients get accommodations at work for disabilities (among other things). the full story is kinda long, but i can tell you someday if you want. needless to say, she's back to the drawing board but has some prospects. fingers crossed.
my job is going okay right now. it's been a week since a bunch of articles came out saying we'll be declaring bankruptcy soon, but so far we haven't heard many peeps (other than a ton of us being anxious about it). allegedly, the type of bankruptcy we'd file would let us stay in business without making major changes, but we have over a billion in debt so....yeah. it's funny, on the website/earnings announcements they always say $1,xxx.xx million because it sounds a lot better than $1.1 billion. they're not really fooling anyone, though, or at least not us as the employees. they're especially not fooling me, because i know how far behind we are on paying our invoices.
i'm working on going through my books and sorting out what doesn't speak to me anymore. i have some of yours that you got when you were here last - i'm going to box them up and put them on a shelf in the basement so they don't accumulate cat hair like mine all are lmao. so far, i have about 25 books i'm going to be giving away or selling to a used bookstore i recently found. that's just the shelves in the blue room; i still have to go through the 9-cube white shelf in mine that's double-stacked.
Tumblr media
where i'm at so far.
the main shelf in the blue room did have a couple double-stacked cubes, but mostly those were A's terry pratchett books. it's been an adventure. next step is cleaning my room (pack up unused bags, get my cameras and gear organized, etc.) and then i can use the space in here to sort out the other shelf. i'm telling you this to inform you of my life, but also to hopefully hold myself accountable. xD
this is pretty long so i should probably wrap it up. it was definitely way more stream-of-consciousness than the other one so hopefully it's not too rambly. miss you bbg, i hope you're doing a bit better now. <3

I'm gonna level here. I'm not having a good day.
I was woken up again, the fucking upstairs neighbor's boyfriend pacing back and forth right above my bed at like 10 AM for close to an hour. I had my headphones ready and popped them in, but even with the noise cancelling and binaural beat thing going I couldn't fall asleep for a while. But I did eventually fall asleep. I don't know how the fuck people can fall asleep on trains or shit like that. My ex used to fall asleep during horror movies, I just... I'd have to run a fucking marathon first to even come close. But yeah, I did get back to sleep and woke up later, but I guess the damage was done.
I still haven't done yoga. My yoga has kinda shifted to being a late night thing now, squeezing it in before the night is over.
Being honest, I think watching RP is fucking me up. I think I'm sitting in front of a screen all day, for hours and hours and hours, and it's not doing good things for me. It really feels like an addiction. And I try to get work done while I'm doing it, that's my justification, and the justification works. I do get shit done, and I can multitask. But... I don't know. It just... there's part of it that just doesn't feel healthy.
It feels like... and I've felt this for a while... it feels like it's simulating social contact. Social interaction. And it feels like I'm a starving person just eating nothing but candy. I don't know. It feels like it's not good for me. It's all comedy, or drama. It's not real. And I can watch with the thousands of others and chat with them, and crack jokes and shit... but the chances of that turning into an actual connection... an actual community... from my experience? Not great.
I mean, for fuck's sake, the last Discord group I joined... the one from the RP streamer... there was a dude in there with a bonfire as his icon and he was talking about guns and how he welcomes WWIII and shit and how America is the most amazing and powerful country in existence and fuck every other country in the world. And I cracked one joke about how... our economy is pretty shit right now... and the dude legit got offended and tried to rouse up a fucking mob. And the others luckily were a bit distracted, but like... a bit later someone else did something similar to what I did and... I shit you not, the direct quote from a regular in that group was "we mob mentality up in here." Like... a point of pride. It turned me right the hell off, I left the group immediately.
So yeah, I don't know. I'm just feeling depressed today. I didn't really do much work on the skull today. I tried a little sketching on the maxilla and... it just wasn't really flowing. I did finish the abstract ink drawing I started the other day, and it took me several hours, and I should feel proud of that and feel a sense of accomplishment... but it's just not really there today. I kinda just felt a bit feverish and clammy and zoned out today.
It's late already, so I'm just going to go straight for the tarot and call today a bit of a wash.
Okay, you know what, I might as well engage with this. I feel like I should be doing more. And I don't even know what it is. I feel like I should be going out, but I have nothing to do out there. Not having a car anymore makes me feel really isolated. And the shared car thing is just expensive enough that I don't feel comfortable renting it just to get out of the house. And yes, I'm saving money. But this is the price I'm paying. And I keep hearing sirens like... constantly. I keep seeing articles on the local subreddit about violent crimes. The incentive to just impulse go out in the city alone is really... it's just not there. Like... a thing a past therapist taught me (which is really simple but super helpful in practice) when dealing with tough but important decisions is to just get a piece of paper and write down the pros and cons. And here... I mean... it legit feels like the cons outweigh the pros. It honestly feels like... "yeah, I might as well just stay in and work on one of my projects." Because I'd have to invent something outside of my house to do. And it just feels like the risk isn't worth the effort.
Maybe that's my anxiety. Maybe that's my survival instincts being primed. Maybe that's my depression. Maybe it's true. I don't know anymore. But on days like this, that narrative is very loud. And I long for the days when I could just get in my car and drive to the river and walk barefoot along the river shores and search for cool stones. Or just go explore in the woods. Idk, that's just where I'm at today.
Okay, tarot time. Fuck it, then I really gotta go to bed.
First Position - Past - Page of Swords (Childlike awe and wonder, epiphany. Encountering wisdom but unable to process it.  Keen intellect, strong will, but lacks context and experience.) Second Position - Present - Nine of Wands, inverted (Defense, guarding yourself. Suspicion, self-protection.  Need rest and recovery.) Third Position - Future - Knight of Wands, inverted (Creative potential, vivacious, not afraid of a challenge, he is naturally disarming and uses it to his advantage.  Passionate, complete dedication to anything enrapturing.  When in extreme, he can be a daredevil; reckless and potentially dangerous.)
I've gotten all three of these cards before - quite a few times, actually. Nine of Wands is a card I see a lot. Okay, so... my understanding of face cards is that they represent different phases of the development and manifestation of that specific element. So... Page is the apprentice, eager but not very experienced. And Swords is intelligence, brain-power, cognitive stuff; the Air element, I guess. So... this thread is originating from times of eagerness and excitement to engage with my inspiration, and not really having the tools to manifest it. This led to... the Wounded Soldier again... but this time, inverted. This time, the Wounded Soldier isn't about rest and recovery... it's about being stuck. What this thread leads to in the Future... is the Knight of Wands. Knights take a more active role in engaging with their element, but still lack the experience and grace of a Queen or King. And Wands is the suit of creativity and manifestation, the element of Fire. But while fire can be a transformative force of good, it's also very difficult to master and can be very destructive. And this Knight... is inverted. And... that ain't good. I could see the Knight of Wands in dysfunction being... self-destructive, reckless, possibly even sociopathic or manipulative. Like... I don't know... I get like A New Hope Han Solo kinda vibes, like he could just cut and run and rat everyone out at any second. I don't know if that's a good analogy, but yeah. Like... scoundrel or rogue vibes, and not necessarily happy ending ones.
So... I had lots of ambitious and excited ideas but lacked the tools, knowledge or resources to manifest them... and it led to being stuck in a cycle of suffering... and if I can't break that suffering... my passion, dedication, drive and creative potential can potentially... turn on me... How, exactly? I don't know. But it does make sense to me. Maybe this is a lesson in humility? Maybe it's a lesson in... letting myself recover? That's what I'm getting from this, at least. Not a bad takeaway, especially on a low-self-esteem day. Allow yourself to recover, or else you kinda risk just inviting more problems.
On a more positive note, I saw an Instagram video this morning of someone woodburning and it really inspired me, I might look into starting that. It's not far off from what I'm doing with the skull, and wood is much easier to source than bone. I mean, wood is kinda like tree bones, if you think about it... That also would give me a quest to get the fuck out of the apartment, which would be good. But for now, bed time.

depression and selfharm
╚═══════════════╝
(ranboo's name will just be ranboo)
Y/n didn't really know what love felt like, she didn't understand why everybody in her classes wanted a person to look at them with the thought of marrying in their head, or holding hands in the rain. It was all just bullshit anyway, most married couples divorce now a days, most kids are on accident, most couples use each other... Love is bullshit.
Ranboo, knew what love was, he wanted that person to stare at him while thinking of being married, he wanted to hold hands in the rain. It is a beautiful thought, marrying and spending your life with each other, having kids of your own and see them grow up, having someone that loves you by your side, .... Love is beautiful.
Y/n wasn't ugly, she wasn't a supermodel, but she had a beautiful skin, h/l  h/c hair and e/c eyes. She wasn't popular but she wasn't a nobody, she wasn't the smartest but she was not dumb, she had a beautiful life but only if you didn't look to much into it.
Ranboo, was handsome, no denying that. He was tall 6"6, to be exact, (1.98 m), he has dirty blond hair, which was so fluffy it hangs before his eyes. His eyes though, everybody could get lost in those grey ones of his. He was one of the smartest in class, he wasn't popular and a little bit of a nobody, his life looked sad but it was the most beautiful story.
Who says you need friends to be happy? That you need to be pretty? Or popular?
A lot of people
Y/n has her father, she lost her mother when she was 13, it was hard but then again her mother really didn't care that much.
"I am glad to be dying."
"What? Why?"
"I won't have to see you become a failure!"
"R-really?"
"Yeah, all my hard work for a good life for you? washed down the drain."
Her father blamed her for his wife's dead, not that he was around. He left when her mother gave birth, something about wanting a son not a useless daughter...
"Why are you studying?"
"I have a test."
"You can study later, go practice your football skills!"
"But i don't want to play football..."
"C'mon son, don't be ridiculous!"
When she stayed at his house those would be the conversations, but since her mother died it would be with a lot more aggression, alcohol and slurs. Ending in her being a punching bag.
"You know, you should be thankful to live with me."
"Why?"
"You killed your mother, do you think anyone would want a kid who killed their parent? I only keep you because you are my child, disappointed i was when I got that letter."
"If I was a son? Would you have stayed? Would you have cared?"
"Nope."
"..."
"Get out! Why do i even try with you! Get out!"
"..."
"just kill yourself like your mother! You were both pathetic and useless! Go join her! She would be disappointed to see you again!"
"..."
Words hurt...
The girl now lives alone. Not because she ran away, not because her father died, not because she got a better life. Her father just left, he packed his stuff, didn't even leave a note, not any money, no clothes and no food, just a plain empty house full of horrible memories.
On her arms and thighs you can find beautiful drawings, paintings, colored in red now it turned a bit brown, the finishing touches in blue now turned purple. Maybe not everybody had the same taste in art, but her art was beautiful, in it's own way, it was a beautiful canvas, smooth and with imperfections. Her tools silver and sharp, you could see your own reflection in them, she cleaned it often. Her paint coming out of nowhere, her tool not even dipped in the paint.
Ranboo had seen her before, talking to her friends or sighing when they left, sitting in class or getting frustrated at lunch. He didn't understand that he was the only when it seemed to notice these things. Her being late every Monday, dozing off in class, whispering curses under her breath, eye bags under her beautiful e/c eyes, hair tangled and not brushed out,...
Was he the only one who noticed,,, or the only one who cared?
or maybe both...
Every time he noticed he asked himself that, and he asked himself if she every had that curiosity in him, or was he just 'A Boy From His Class' when she remembered him. He just didn't know he was 'The boy from her class' he was special in her eyes, even if she never showed it.
Today, Monday, was no different to her other late arrivals, Y/n was late again. But when she walked in she didn't even react to the teacher calling her out on it. Her eyes focused on her page, not even looking up when asked a question.
"Y/l/n!"
"Y-yes." The yelling made her feel at home.
"The answer?"
She didn't know, of course she didn't.
"68," a soft voice told her from behind.
"68," she spoke up.
"Luck," the teacher muttered.
When the girl turned around her e/c eyes met those grey ones. He smiled lightly, but she didn't even have the strength to smile back, just uttering a small word of thank you. He frowned lightly at not getting her to smile back. Did he even see her smile at all.
"Y/l/n?"
"Uh-"
"987" the boy answered again but this time loud enough so the hole class heard.
"Thank you miss Y/l/n."
"No problem, sir."
Their class laughed a bit at how he had dragged out the word sir, but then again, they didn't understand why he stood up for Y/n not that it would be a bad thing, she had friends, but he didn't really maybe a few, Tubbo and Tommy.
After the class was over, Y/n ran as fast as she could, not wanting questions from the teacher, not wanting to have to talk to the boy who helped her.
But of course her luck.
"Hey!-" the same voice spoke when he grabbed her arm, making her wince of the pain, which shouldn't be there as he didn't put any force into his hand.
"Sorry."
"K, what do you want?"
He was a bit shocked at her rudeness which was evident in the widening of his eyes, and slightly mocking a fish with opening and closing his mouth so fast.
"Sorry," she sighed, "Thanks for saving my arse in class..."
"No problem. Do you want any help catching up on the lesson? Or is this the only class you zoned out so far?" it wasn't, and he knew it wasn't the first or last class she would zone out.
She debated if she should accept, he was pretty smart, but then he would want to meet up or something and that couldn't be at her house, and she didn't have electricity so her phone wasn't charged. Her phone wasn't even in a good shape as her father had thrown it to the ground a few nights ago.
After a few minutes of awkward silence she told him, "yes."
"Great, I'll give you my number, and you can text me when you're free?"
"Uh- my uhm, phone is dead, could you write it down? But i think I'm free any day normally except Wednesday and Friday, work."
The boy looked a bit shocked, he had observed her for a bit and she always listened to music when she was roaming in the halls or going home. So, her phone being dead, was rare, almost never.
She always had her music ready, ready when her father wanted to scream at her, ready when bullies walked up to her, ready when creepy people stared at her on the streets, ready when she just wanted to leave, and now her phone was dead, no escaping anymore...
She just smiled, chuckling a bit awkwardly before he handed her his phone, "Give me your number then, I'll send you a time?"
"Sure."
And she did, writing her number in his contacts while searching in her brain for a good name, not something lame, not just her name, something funny or silly even,
┍━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━┑
Miss, Daydreamer {Y/n}
┕━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━┙
she found it a bit lame but it had a little meaning about it. They did 'meet' because she was daydreaming again.
He smiled down at her contact name, it was silly sure, but it was funnier than just her name, he even referred to her that before he finally found out her name.
They shared a smile, both their eyes meeting and resting on each other for a few seconds. In his eyes she found reassuring for some reason she couldn't find, it was warm, a sort of warm a home needed to give off, but that wasn't in her case. Even if his eyes were one of the coldest colors reminding her of the walls of the house she lived in, alone, they shone bright and warmth radiated of them.
Her eyes were broken, he didn't need to look long to find that. But it hurt, he saw that her eyes used to be filled with love and passion, but it was empty, dark and lonely. But when she looked back up at him, he saw a little confidence and a tight smile on her lips, making her eyes shine the littlest, but the brightest he had ever witnessed, and it was his doing.
The broken girl smiling at the happy boy.
The happy boy loving the broken's girl smile.
Broken glass still shines, in pieces...
A/N
Hello! I just wanted to ask if a part two was wanted? I liked it but I know these are heavy topics, so wanted to put some attention to that,
I know times are hard, I am struggling too, not that it makes yours any better or worse. I just want you to know that there are people who care (ME!) even if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to, but if you do want to and you don't feel comfortable with telling you parents, family, friends, teachers, ... You can always come to me!
It is not selfish to be happy, or want to be happy. If you want some time for yourself and get on the right path again, take that time! Don't waste that time though. If people say it is selfish to turn people down 'just so you can get better' they can get there head out of their ass and look around, it's not selfish to search for a better place, better health or more selflove.
Be sure to eat and drink, I love you!

i do not, in anyway condone this behaviour, 
genre -> yandere
word count -> 1.6k
a/n -> this was the result of a brainstorming between me and @go-shotaro,, her brain is just so awesome please. proofread by her as well :D.
Tumblr media
Your hands fly to the cold handle of the beige drawer of your kitchen, the colour has grown dirtier, none of you had the time nor the energy to tend to it after a long day of work. 
The dim light in the kitchen was enough to illuminate your actions but it failed to reach inside the drawer, as you slid your hands through it, touching the utensils to know which was which until you found the one you were looking for. 
You look around again, your shabby apartment is intact. The sofa with a dust cover on it, making the black look like a cheap brown and smelling of the cigarettes you stub on it sometimes. There were half empty glasses on the center table, the water now unfit for drinking due to the paint brushes in them, the color departing from the brush and settling inside the glass. 
Pages lay scattered with half made drawings there, you could vividly recognize your face on them, in different expressions and different costumes. But all you felt was a frown making its way on your face as you remember the disappointment on ten’s face.
You were his muse, always were and always will be; he assured you but something wasn’t right for now. He claimed to be in a creative rut.
You couldn’t mask the clear the drop in your self esteem then, his paintings was what brought you two together and you let the memory of him sitting there in a cafe, in a corner just beside the window where enough sunlight could luminate his work, and staring at you as you sat diagonal to him.
He approached you around 15 minutes later, softly asking if he could sketch you out, he was in a creative rut then aS WELL and a part of you was scared that even this time he’ll need a new muse to get him out of it.
You tighten your grip on the utensil in your hand, this wasn’t the time to think about this, you shook your head. 
You came home to the door unlocked and the voices from inside, convinced someone had broke into your apartment. But it baffled you how of all the influential residential areas, they’d choose yours, there wasn’t a single thing of worth here. 
Nevertheless, the knife in your hand was unwavering. And you took steps slowly and in a featherlight way. 
There was a sane side of you that wanted to call ten and let him know about this but he’d be at work, probably working his ass out and, you glance at your watch, he was going to be home in about an hour already so there was no use in bothering him. 
The door from where the voices had been coming from was the room ten had converted into his studio, with a huge easel in the corner of the room, a one seat replica of the sofa you had in your living room in the other corner. 
His paints littered across the room on piles of newspaper that had been long destroyed. 
The door is right in front of you and you can smell perfume in the air, way more expensive than the one bottle you had tucked away in the closet of your bathroom, and you push open the door, readying the knife. 
And you let out a soft gasp.
Ten is at work, his brows furrowed, and sweat beads appearing on his skin, his concentration doesn’t faze even when the door you throw open lets out a screech. He’s still in his uniform and in any other instance you’d be complaining to him about how hard the paint is to get out of a cloth and how he should have atleast discarded the shirt before sitting down to paint, and to which he’d reply, “you don't think about these things when inspiration strikes,”
 But to your horror, there's someone seated there.
 And you swear that that’s when your world comes shaking down, piece by piece and you swear you can hear the cracks shattering. 
There’s someone on the sofa, with a small face, a bob cut with bangs and doe eyes, you can swear she’s one of the prettiest people you’ve ever laid eyes on. Any other instance you’d swoon over her, but right now all you feel is the lump in your throat, making your hands shake and the anger that doesn’t let you drop the knife. 
“Ten,” you say in a softer voice than you intend to, ten and the girl turn to you, interrupted. 
Ten is pale as he looks at you, he’s unsure of what your reaction would be, he tries to be calm, but his eyes give it away. 
“Babe,” his voice is honey, and it sounds like he’s capturing a wild animal that has escaped from a zoo, all you feel is the urge to stab the canvas that he’s painting on. 
“Meet Lisa,” his tone is yet not changed, and Lisa offers you and  looks at you with an awkward smile the same way, like a tilt of her head and you could go feral at any moment. 
“What is she doing here,” it’s not a question, it’s a signal for her to pack her things and leave, and she can see it, watching her reflection in the steel. 
“I- i- met her at work, i felt like i could paint her,” ten is scared, not for him, he knows how to deal with you but the fact that lisa is right beside you, your knife in the very hand she sits beside.
“You wanted her to be your muse,” you spit out, taking steps inside the room.
“If you could just put down the knife,” ten retaliates. 
“You wanted her to be your muse,” you repeat, trying to grasp, was he going to replace you?
 Was he going to throw an entire year of an intimate relationship for his godforsaken painting? Was he going to paint her in the same colours he did you?
It made you want to break his paintbrushes, was it more than your love?
He stands up from his stool, slowly, and walks towards you dodging the paint in his way. 
“She’s not my muse, babe, that’s you, i just- you know i’ve been struggling with inspiration lately, she offered to help,” he circles around you and rubs his hand on your free arm.
“Put down the knife, babe,”
He calculates and there's a twitch in his eyebrows as he reaches your knife, and as he confirms you won’t do anything, he takes your hand around his waist and pulls you in close. 
“She’s not gonna replace you, no one’s ever gonna replace you,” he whispers in your ear. 
-
You take small and exhausted steps into the room, it almost felt like you’d faint from the lack of energy in you. You rubbed at your eyes; sore from all the crying, you hadn’t looked into a mirror, but you were sure if you did your face resembled a shell of your bright self. 
You were so upset. Why did ten have to go ahead and do this?
And as you fumble for switches in the dark, the material is cold beneath your fingers, making you feel and numb at the same time. After a few clicking sounds, you finally turn on the right one. 
And you’re greeted with a warm feeling, a feeling that makes you break down all over again, why did you love him that much? Why were you so weak for him?
He’s there; but he refuses to look at you, and as you inch closer to him you can see a look of fear and disgust mixed in his eyes.
 “ten,” you whisper softly, afraid someone might hear you. You decide to try again for the sake of the amount of the love you had in you, that it literally ran in the blood of your veins.
“I know I’m not perfect, but I love you.” 
Ten doesn’t look at you for a while, hoping you’d go away, but you sit on the floor with an urging look, wanting to make him understand your pure intentions. 
He turns to you and flinches lightly, “What this is, what you’re doing and what you did, this isn’t love.”
You sigh, “how many times should i explain it to you, it was a mistake, ten. Mistakes happen.”
“Yeah, well, it might be a mistake, y/n. But she’s dead. You killed her.” and he finally dares to look at the side of the room he has been avoiding since last night. 
And there’s a pool of blood right there, a knife adorning the body which laid lifelessly there. 
The ends of your eyes are burning, tears threatening to fall again as you make an attempt to clear yourself again. 
“She would have taken you away from me,” you whisper, hoping he’d get it, but it just causes him to snarl and struggle at the binds around his hands. 
“What the fuck are you going on about? We were going just perfect before this. If you trusted me just a bit, you wouldn’t have done this.”
“I did it because I didn't wanna let her ruin us, baby.”
He flinches again at the nickname, a day ago, he’d have felt proud and happy that he’d finally found someone who loved him. But now it just felt bitter. 
You throw your hands up in withdrawal, “fine, if you wanna keep being this way, then i’m not gonna stop you,”
“You can stay here and look at your friend until I've found a way to deal with her.” and you get up and turn away from the room, switching off the light. 
“Have fun,” even in the dark, ten could see the smirk that painted your lips. He had no option but to give in.

Yes, doctor
Tumblr media
summary
You go to a doctor’s office nearby every year for your annual appointment. Every time a nurse comes out into that familiar waiting room you get a little nervous. You had never liked doctor visits. This time your usual doctor was out, and there was a fill in you hadn’t met before. When the doctor enters your examination room, you were pleasantly surprised. Denki Kaminari, the boy you had been fawning for all throughout high school, would be your doctor today.

Tumblr media
After checking in with the receptionist, you sat down in one of the plush chairs in the waiting room. You were a pro hero, and a pretty recent graduate from UA high, having graduated 5 or 6 years ago. This doctor's office was specifically for heroes, so it was pretty fancy to say the least. The reason it was only for heroes was so they could have specialized doctors and nurses fit to deal with quirks, and they were hand selected by the Hero Organization to handle confidential quirk information if needed.
You picked up one of the magazines from the table across from you and flipped through it, eyeing various support item ads and making mental notes of them to show to your costume designer.
"Y/n?" a voice called.
You looked up, and a friendly looking nurse greeted you with a warm smile.
"Hello." you said quietly, getting up to follow her into the hallway.
"It's an honor to meet you, H/n!" she said excitedly, as she led you to a small room to take your height and weight.
"Thanks! Thank you for taking such good care of us heroes."
"Only the best for the people who protect us from villains!" she said cheerfully.
After taking your measurements, she led you to another room.
"Here, change into this, and your doctor will be in shortly!"
She handed you a paper gown.
"Thank you!" you said.
After she left, you put the gown on and sat on the bed. You waited nervously, trying to remember if you were due for any shots, when you heard a knock.
"Are you dressed? May I come in?" a familiar sounding voice called.
"Sure." you said.
The door opened and you knew who it was the second you saw a flash of that familiar bright yellow hair.
You couldn't believe your eyes.
"K-Kaminari?"
"Please! Call me Denki. We were friends in high school, weren't we?" he said with a bright smile.
"Y-Yeah.. you didn't become a hero?"
"Nope. Everyone at UA and in the pro hero world looked down on me. Well, except you, Deku, and Red Riot, that is. So I became a doctor to prove people like Dynamight wrong. Do you still talk to anyone from our class?" He asked, taking a seat at his computer and typing in his password.
"Yeah, Deku and I patrol together sometimes and Mina is still my best friend."
"Oh, Mina! I forgot about her. She was nice. Anyway, how have you been? Feel sick lately? Cough? Sore throat? Fever?"
"Nope, I'm all good." you said, trying to avoid his gaze.
"Are you okay? You seem.. nervous." he lowered his voice.
"I-I'm fine. Sorry."
"Okay. Well, I'm gonna ask you a few questions, and then we can get started."
He began to ask questions, your cheeks heating up more and more with every embarrassing question about your sex life, menstrual cycle, bowel movements, and so on and so forth.
Denki laughed suddenly.
"Look how red you are- calm down it's just me!"
You laughed quietly.
"Alright, well, I'm just gonna make sure everything's okay, and then you can be on your way!"
"Sounds good." you said, relieved that he wasn't asking any further questions.
He had stopped asking questions, yet that warmth in your cheeks stayed there as you watched him wash his hands and put gloves on.
He started by checking your reflexes. After you almost kicking him, he moved on to check your eyes and ears.
He pulled out his stethoscope.
"I'm gonna listen to your heartbeat really quick okay? Tell me if I'm making you uncomfortable! Sorry, it's gonna be cold."
Shit. He's gonna be able to tell how nervous I am..
You tried to steady your breathing, but it just came out ragged, embarrassing you further.
He moved the stethoscope with a confused look on his face, before taking it off and putting it back around his neck.
"Are you okay? Your heart is beating really fast. Should I refer you to someone or are you just nervous?" he asked, scribbling something down on a clipboard.
"N-Nervous, sorry."
"Oh yeah! You had a crush on me in high school, didn't you?" That explains it!"
"H-How did you know?"
"Mina told me. After we graduated, though. I never got to reach out to you about it, but I liked you too."
"Y-You did?!" you breathed.
"Mmhm. Now try to calm down a little so I can get some accurate measurements."
"Okay, sorry."
You took a deep breath, and he continued trying to get an accurate reading, but god.. he was just so hot, so concentrated, and he smelled so good..
"Hey. Y/n. Earth to Y/n." he said, looking up.
"Sorry!" you said again.
"It's not a problem," he smirked. "Come here."
And with that, he pulled you in for a kiss.
You gasped against his mouth, before melting into it, your hands finding their way around his neck, clasping in the back. You felt one of his hands wrap around you waist, the other still holding the stethoscope in place.
You broke the kiss.
"You gonna move this?" you asked, touching the hand holding the stethoscope.
"Why? You wanna take this further or something?" he asked.
You cast your gaze downwards as he pressed it harder onto your chest to the point where it started to hurt.
"D-Denki.."
"Use your words, princess. What do you want from me?" he said, laughing. He could hear your heartbeat steadily climb, he loved the look of nervousness covering your face, you desperately trying to form words.
"I-I want you."
"Hm?" he said, pressing harder. The loudness was starting to hurt his ears, but it was so worth it to see you flustered.
"P-Please! I want you!"
"Good girl." he said with a smile, removing the stethoscope and placing it on the table.
He sat in his desk chair, facing you with crossed arms.
"Undress please, I need to make sure everything looks okay."
"O-Okay."
"That's 'Yes Doctor' to you."
"Yes doctor."
You took off the gown and tossed it aside, facing Denki, who was smirking at the sight of your naked body.
He stood up and took off his shirt, followed by his pants, leaving him in only his boxers, his erection poking through with a bit of precum already showing. He then wrapped you in a kiss again, his hands finding your breasts and kneading them until your nipples were hard.
You let out a soft moan as you caressed his face.
He pulled away.
"Look at you, making a mess on my table." he gestured to the wet puddle that was forming between your legs. "I'll have to punish you for that.
He pulled a roll of bandages from the cabinet and smirked. He bandaged your hands on either side of you stuck down onto the table, making sure you couldn't move them. Then, he bandaged your feet down onto the table, again, making sure you couldn't move them.
Your dripping cunt was exposed to him, and you could barely move.
"Dripping for me like a bitch in heat, I've barely touched you, princess."
"D-Doctor- please-"
You were cut off by two fingers lightly grazing your wet pussy, gathering your juices on them. He then stuck them in your mouth, causing you to gag.
"Suck."
You did as told and sucked your wetness of his fingers, your face a shade of red from embarrassment.
"Such a good girl, following the doctor's orders. Now let's see. I have to examine other patients too, so if you'll excuse me." he started to put his clothes back on, smiling while you looked at him shocked.
"Oh don't be scared. I'll be back for you soon. And I have something to keep you company while I'm gone."
He pulled out a small pink vibrator with a tiny remote from his desk drawer.
"When I found out you were my patient, I had a feeling things would go this way. I came prepared."
He attached the vibrator to your clit, drawing a gasp from you.
"No cumming until I allow it okay? See you soon, princess. Oh- and I almost forgot."
He grabbed the bandages again, and put them over your mouth.
"Can't let anyone hear you!" and with that, he left the room and locked the door.
You sat there, stunned, legs open, dripping wet, with a vibrator attached to you. It wasn't on yet, either. It was just sitting there. You tried to shake it off of you, or at least break the bandages, to try and get some relief, but they wouldn't budge.
And then it happened. The vibrator started at a very low shake, making you gasp once more, trying to close your legs to relieve the pressure.
Your head was spinning when it went up to the next level again. You were squirming, bucking your hips, anything for it to stop. But alas, it went up to the highest level.
You nearly screamed, but managed to stifle your moan. And then, it stopped.
This cycle went on for an hour, the vibrator randomly turning on super low, jumping to high, staying off for a bit, it was pure torture, and it wasn't enough to make you cum, either, so you just had to bear it.
About 30 minutes into this torture, you realized something even worse. You had to pee.
You were sweating, shaking, panting, face bright red, trying not to piss yourself, when the vibrator stopped and the door jiggled. Your heart nearly stopped, afraid it was some poor doctor who would have to see it.
But you were relieved to see your doctor slip into the room.
"My my- you're quite a mess!"
"MmhmmmhmmhhMMM!" you tried yelling at him through the bandage on your mouth.
"Princess, use your words! Oh wait- you cant!"
He detached the vibrator from your clit, and removed the bandage on your mouth.
"I'm gonna examine your pussy, okay?"
"Y-yes doctor."
You gasped at the feeling of his freezing cold hands touching your pussy lightly.
“Are you sensitive here…?" he touched your clit, smirking as you squirmed.
"Or.. here, perhaps?" he lightly circled your entrance with his fingers.
"Y-Yes doctor! I'm so- I'm so sensitive- please- give me an examination or a checkup please- I need to- I need-"
You were babbling, forgetting how to talk.
Suddenly, a hand came down, smacking your pussy. You moaned loudly, looking up at him with tears gathering in your eyes.
"Princess, doctor can't understand you. What do you want?"
"Doc-Doctor I- I need bathroom... please let me go to the bathroom.. th-then we continue."
"Ah, I don't think that's necessary. You may hold it."
"Doctor! Please!"
"No can do, princess. Doctor says no. Do I need to dumb it down more for you? Is doctor speaking too many big words for you to understand?"
"W-Why can't I go pee..?" you said in a small voice.
"Because! You follow doctor's orders, not your own. Doctor says no, you only listen to doctor."
"Y-Yes doctor."
"That's a good girl. Now let's start your examination."
He came over and took both of your breasts in his hands. He rolled your nipples in his fingers and kneaded your breasts until you were whining, face red from embarrassment.
"Is my princess embarrassed? Let your doctor take care of you. He knows what's best. Don't be embarrassed."
He stopped playing with your breasts and moved down to your pussy. Without warning, he dipped his fingers in and curled them painfully slow.
"Doctor!"
"Shh."
You obeyed, stifling your moans as he brought you closer and closer to an orgasm with every slow curl of his fingers.
"Do-Doctor- I'm gonna- p-pee..."
"Okay. Go then."
"B-But Doctor-"
"I said, go princess."
"Yes doctor..." you said, ashamed, as piss pooled out of your pussy, dripping onto the floor.
He continued to finger you slowly as you peed.
You hid your face with your arm.
"Don't be embarrassed princess, I already told you."
"G-Gonna c-cum."
"No. You're not."
He removed his fingers with a sinister grin.
He then slipped his shirt off, followed by his pants, again, leaving him in just his boxers and the gloves he had on.
He peeled your restraints off slowly, looking you in the eye. You looked back at him nervously, trying not to shake.
He then picked you up, surprising you.
"You can wrap your legs around me, it's okay."
He was holding you like a child, but it didn't last long. He put his knee against the wall and let you down so you were sitting on his thigh. He then pressed another kiss onto your mouth.
"Ride." he commanded.
You began to grind onto his thigh, your moans coming out breathy and short.
He reached down to your clit and circled it, and sent a tiny jolt of electricity through his fingers.
"Doctor!"
"Shh princess. Breathe with me okay? In, out. Just like that."
As he led you through breathing, he was sending more electricity to your already abused pussy, making it near impossible not to cum.
"Doct-Doctor ple-please, m'cumming! Let me cum, please!"
You could barely form coherent sentences, you were so focused on trying not to cum.
He placed his hands under your armpits and lifted you up again, holding you once again, like a child. He placed you onto the table again, the wetness from your legs audible.
"I think it's time for Doctor's cock. Are you ready for doctor's cock?"
"Yes doctor! Pl-please! I n-need y-your cock! Please! Breed- breed me!"
"Of course princess."
He finally removed his boxers and gloves, climbing onto the table with you. He put your legs up into the mating press position, and shoved his full length in.
"Aah! D-Doctor- feels so- so good! Please!"
"You said you were a virgin, right?" he asked as he snapped his length into you again.
"Y-Yes doctor."
You could feel every vane, the slight curve, every twitch of his cock as it hit your walls.
"Y-You've never had anyone hit your g-spot then?"
"N-No doctor! I-It's only for you- only you!"
"If you cum without permission, I'm gonna make you cum again. Got it?" he asked with a grunt, as he tried to find your spot.
"Y-Yes doctor!
He began to rub your clit, sending more bliss falling over you. You had been trying not to cum for around two hours now, and it was at this point, slightly painful. You were overstimulated and you hadn't even gotten to cum yet.
His eyes rolled back as he hit that spongy spot- and you almost screamed. You moaned loudly, fingers gripping into his back, toes curling. All you could see was white, and you heard a loud squelch.
"Pr-Princess! You squirted.. what a b-bad girl... c'mon, I know you've got another one in there for me! This time cum WITH permission though."
"Y-Yes doctor!"
He continued to snap his hips into yours. You gasped when he bottomed out, hitting against your cervix. He rubbed your clit harder and continued to pump into you, hitting your g-spot and cervix with every thrust.
"M'gonna cum s-straight into y-your pretty little w-womb. I'll fill you u-up with my kids! You'll be s-swollen and pregnant- you'll be m-my princess f-forever! D-Do you like the s-sound of that?"
"Yes doctor!" you cried out blissfully.
"G-Good girl! C-Cum wi-with me!"
His pace stuttered and his cock twitched hard as hot white cum filled your womb. You couldn't hold back your second orgasm as you came around his cock again, pussy fluttering wildly.
He pulled out slowly, and wiped his now soft cock off with a tissue.
"Princess. You're leaking."
He gathered the cum that was dripping out and pushed it back in.
He got dressed, but when you tried he stopped you and told you to sit back on the table.
"I see you're on birth control on my charts, by the way. Let's take you off of that. And since your heartbeat was a little fast, I'll schedule you back about a week out, how does that sound?"
"G-Good. T-Thank you."
"No problem! Oh- you're leaking again, here."
He pulled out a small plug from his drawer, gathered his cum on his fingers once again, pushed it back inside, and inserted the plug into your cunt.
"Take this out when you know you won't leak my cum anymore."
"Y-Yes doctor. Thank you."
"Oh- and take these every day until next week when you come back for me, okay?"
He handed you a small bottle with tiny pink pills in it. You read the label out loud.
Stimulation In A Bottle for low sex drives
"Low sex drive?"
"Yeah. Coming off your birth control might mess you up a little, it could mean a lower sex drive, or double the sex drive. Best not to risk it, princess."
"B-But-"
"I need to hear a "yes doctor" from you, please."
"Yes doctor."
"Good, now get dressed, I'll see you next week. Oh- and the janitor will clean the pee up. I'll just say it was a child."
"Yes doctor."

<- previous chapter
After a couple of days, Rory kinda got used to her new "home." Since Tony didn't know how long it would be before they went back to California, and with Pepper gone, they decided it was best if Rory just took a break from school.
Rory did eventually grow to like her new room. She was not allowed to leave the current floor, so she basically just spent all of her time there. Tony was gone all day and didn't get home until very late at night, meaning Rory had to have food delivered. She didn't mind, though. She figured that if they end up staying, she'll be able to tell Tony what all the good restaurants are.
Tony never told her anything about why they were here with the exception of, "Daddy has business."
So in order to pass the time, Rory would read or watch movies. She even took up drawing which turned out to be something she isn't too bad at.
This morning, Tony was already gone by the time Rory got up, so she got dressed and migrated to the living area. She sat on one of the couches near the large window and began sketching the tall buildings surrounding her.
As she finished the shading on one of the skyscrapers, she peered back up to see a tall man with long, black hair dressed in what looked like a Halloween costume standing on the terrace. Rory put down her sketchbook and looked closer. He was very tall and had large, golden horns that decorated the top of his head. She had no clue as to why this man was standing outside of her window on her father's building.
Rory looked to her right and noticed her father, in the Iron Man suit, land on the landing pad. The man just stood there, watching as machines swiftly removed the armor from Tony's body.
The strange man made his way into the room from the balcony. The room she was in. Rory didn't know what to do. She was frozen, scared. Instead of running away as any sane person would, Rory remained in her chair.
The large man entered the room. He studied his surroundings, his eyes eventually landing on Rory. "Who might you be?" He asked with disdain.
Rory could do nothing but blink at him, too afraid to speak. He opened his mouth to say more, only to be interrupted by the presence of Tony. "Rory, come here," Tony said blankly.
Rory immediately dropped her things and ran to her father's side. Tony wrapped his arm around her protectively, hoping to shield her with his body.
The man watched this all happen before finally speaking, "Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity." He spoke as if she weren't there.
"Actually I'm planning to threaten you," Tony responded. Rory couldn't sense any different emotions other than his natural sarcastic tone.
"You should have left your armor on for that," the man bantered, walking closer to Tony and Rory.
"Yeah," Tony pushed Rory behind the bar. "It's seen a bit of mileage, and you've got the glow stick of destiny." Rory crouched down below the bar and pulled her knees into her chest. She couldn't help but let tears stain her cheeks, afraid of what was happening. "Would you like a drink?" Tony asked the man as he walked behind the bar, actively trying to ignore you in hopes you wouldn't become a target.
Rory heard the other man laugh. "Stalling me won't change anything," he said. If Rory knew what it meant, she would describe their conversation as passive-aggressive.
"No, no. threatening." Tony began making himself a drink. "No drink? You sure? I'm having one.
"The Chitauri are coming. Nothing will change that." His words sounded like gibberish to Rory. "What have I to fear?"
Rory watched her father casually make a drink as if nothing was wrong. "The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves. We're sort of like a team." Rory had no idea what he was going on about. ""Earth's mightiest heroes"-type thing."
"Yes, I've met them."
"Yea," Tony's smile helped calm Rory down. He had to have the situation under control, right? "It takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one. But let's do a headcount, here. Your brother, the demi-god," demi-god? "A super-soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend." He secretly slipped a metal-looking band on each wrist.
"A man with breathtaking anger-management issues, a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella," none of his words were making any sense. "You've managed to piss off every single one of them."
"That was the plan."
"Not a great plan," Tony walked past you and out from the bar. "When they come, and they will, they'll come for you."
"I have an army."
"We have a hulk."
Rory finally gathered enough courage and stood up carefully. She peeked her head over the bar to watch the men while also trying to stay out of the way. Tony was approaching the man as they spoke; the man keeping his ground.
"I thought the beast had wandered off," the man said.
"You're missing the point. There's no throne," Tony's voice rose slightly. "There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn well sure we'll avenge it."
Tony took a sip of his drink while the man took a few steps closer, a scowl spreading across his features. "How will your friends have time for me when they're so busy fighting you?"
For the first time since this scene began, Tony looked scared. The man brought his scepter-looking thing up and tapped it against Tony's chest with a clang noise. The man's face dropped for a second before he tried a second time, and then a third. "This usually works."
Tony didn't look scared anymore. "Well, performance issues, it's not uncommon. One out of five--" his sentence was cut short when the man forcefully grabbed Tony's throat and threw him onto the floor. Rory squealed and then immediately covered her mouth.
The man turned his head in Rory's direction with a puzzled look. He turned away from her as soon as Tony stood up and went for his neck again. "You will all fall before me," he said.
"Deploy!" Tony called before the man threw him out the window, shattering the glass. Rory screamed with all her might. Did she just watch her Dad be murdered? What was he going to do to her?
Rory hid behind the bar once more, watching and listening closely to her surroundings. A loud sound rippled through the room causing Rory to throw her hands over her ears to block out the noise. She peeked over the bar and saw nothing but more shards of glass and broken furniture.
The man stared Rory down. "Who are you?"
Rory gulped, "who are you?"
He chuckled. "I am Loki, of Asgard. I'm surprised you have not yet heard of me." His tone was a lot softer with her than it was with her father. "What is your name, little one?"
"Rory," she nervously answered his question. "My name is Rory."
"Let me guess; Stark's child?" She didn't say anything. Rory simply nodded. "Ah I see," he gave you an almost heartwarming smile. "Come here, Rory."
Fearing she had no other choice, Rory walked over to Loki and he crouched down to meet her gaze. He smiled at her. Rory watched her father fly up behind him. She was more than thrilled to see her father alive and more tears fell from her eyes.
"And one more thing," Loki's face dropped and he spun around to face Tony. "Get away from my daughter!" Tony shot at Loki, sending him flying backward. Rory jumped out of the way, too stunned to do anything else. With Loki knocked out, Tony looked towards his daughter, "Rory go hide, now!" He flew away into the sky, and Rory wasted no time in running to her bedroom.
She slammed the door shut and locked it. She looked around her room for anything that she could put in front of the door to make it harder to reach her. Rory tried to move the couch, but it was no use. It was too heavy for a ten-year-old to manage. She tugged on her roots as she spotted her desk chair. Once it was securely tucked under the knob, Rory ran over to her window to watch what was unfolding.
Rory couldn't help herself as she began to sob. She was afraid and she was alone. There was nothing she could do to help. Tons of thousands of aliens flooded the skies and streets of New York as Rory sat up in her bedroom, watching. She was sobbing uncontrollably as she pressed her face and hands into the large window.
More loud noises were flowing from the living area into Rory's bedroom and Rory could do nothing to stop them. She hoped that the man who called himself Loki was gone and that her Dad was alright.
At this moment, Rory really felt like a child. She felt small and helpless. Lonely and afraid. There was nothing else she could do except watch. She had no clue as to what she was watching either, which was not making her feel any better.
At long last, the aliens seemed to dissipate and things seemed to calm down. It looked to Rory like the fight was over. But who won?
Rory was drawn away from her thoughts by the sound of her father's voice calling her name. She nearly sprinted out. She ran up to Tony and engulfed him in the tightest bear hug she could manage. He was still in his suit and covered in dirt, but neither seemed to mind.
"I was afraid," Rory murmured into his neck.
"I know, bubs." They pulled away from the hug and Rory got the chance to really see the other people in the room.
There was a giant-sized man with green skin, a man with a shield, a man with a bow and arrow, a man with a red cape and long hair, and what looked like Natalie, only with shorter hair. They looked odd. As if they were straight out of a movie. She noticed Loki in handcuffs. He looked angry and sad at the same time. Rory didn't really know what he did, but she knew he lost and her dad won.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Tony held a silver case in one hand and Rory's in the other as he walked alongside the other Avengers waiting to send Loki away. Tony had made it very clear that from now on, Rory would not be leaving his side.
Rory let go of her Dad's hand to let him deal with the case. Thor, as he had told Rory to call him, led Loki a few feet away from everyone else. He waited for Loki to grab hold of the glass container for the Tesseract. Before she knew it, the pair had disappeared in a storm of blue.
Once everything else was settled, Tony reached for Rory's hand again and walked her over to the rest of the Avengers. "Rory there's some people I'd like you to meet," he motioned to the team. "That's Capsicle, Legolas, Jolly Green, and the Triple Imposter. This is Rory." The others shook their heads at Tony's nicknames.
"Steve," the tall, blonde man smiled and Rory shook his hand.
"Bruce," the shorter man with grey hair politely smiled and waved.
"Yea," Nat showed you a friendly smile to which you returned. "Nice to finally meet you, officially."
"And I'm Clint," the last man with spiky hair and sunglasses introduced himself.
"Hi," you said, shyly and waved at them all.
"Bubs, you go wait in the car I'll be there in a sec," said Tony.
"Okay. It was nice meeting you all!" You said as you walked to the car.
"You ready to go, kiddo?" Tony asked as he got in the car and fastened his seatbelt.
"Are we going home? Like, back to Malibu?" you asked as he started the car and pulled out.
"Yea," he smiled. "I think we deserve a break."
"What about the tower?"
"We're working on it. It'll be fixed in no time."
"Good," you sighed
"Good?"
"I don't mind it anymore. I don't think it would be so bad if we moved here."
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Really."

-----
You couldn't wait to get to work the next day. You rushed through the lobby and bounded into Rafael's office. He was standing there talking to Liv. Oh god. They both turned and stared at your dramatic entrance.
"Uh….Y/N, are you ok?" Rafael asked you with a bit of concern in his tone.
"Oh yeah no I'm fine Rafa," you nervously smiled, and to your horror his face became even more confused.
"I'm sorry, did you just call me Rafa?" He raised an eyebrow, glancing at Liv, who had a triumphant smile on her face. He didn't remember. It was over.
"I knew it…" she whispered with a smirk.
"Knew what?" Rafael turned to her
"....I knew she'd try to get friendly with you, she's had a crush on you forever," Olivia quickly came up with a diabolical plan on the spot. Your face fell, you felt yourself turning pale as he turned back to you.
“Is that true, Y/N?” He asked you point blank.
"I...I…" you stammered, unable to think of how to get out of this situation. Then you saw his thermos.
"I'll get your morning coffee, boss," you went and grabbed the thermos off his desk, then hurried out the door, slamming it behind you. You tried desperately not to cry as you headed down to the break room.
------
"Liv that was a little harsh," Rafael gave her a look, nothing the evil smile she had.
"What? She was being insubordinate! Calling you Rafa like that…"
"Right because only you can call me that," He smirked.
"Well I'm the only one who does," she pointed out. "And we're so close, she must have thought of she stated calling you that maybe you'd fall for her.”
"...you're nutty you know that?” He shook his head with a laugh.
“But you love me anyway,”. She gave him a tongued smiled.
"I do," he chuckled, gripping her hands .
----.
In the break room you tried to calm yourself down before going back up to Rafael’s office. You focused on what Chloe has said last night. He was already in love with you. You just had to draw it out
That was going to be exceptionally difficult now that Olivia knew you had done something. She's never gonna leave you alone with him. No she has to. I mean what is she gonna do, stay in his office all day? You'd just wait until she left. You filled his coffee and returned to his office this time knocking before you went in.
“Come in,” You heard him call through the door. You went in to see Liv had left. You looked up at the sky and mouthed a “THANK YOU.”.
"Here you are Mr. Barba." You handed him the coffee nervously.
"....Y'know I kind of liked it when you called me Rafa, Y/N." He gave you a smile. But not the normal office smile you were so used to...it was a smile you had only seen yesterday. Maybe….
"Oh. Um, yeah sure ok ...Rafa," you smiled back.
"I'm sorry I haven't said it before. I guess I shouldn't be so…"
"Snobbish," you chuckled remembering yesterday. Then suddenly remembered HE didn't remember yesterday. You looked at his once again stunned face, and you once again slapped your hands over your mouth.
"Oh god I am so--” You started to apologize, but to your relief he slowly started chucking that soon turned into a full laugh.
"Yeah, something like that." He shook his head while still laughing. He looked at you, catching your glance. He stopped laughing and just stared at you for a long moment.
I need you to remember today….
"...Do I have something on my face?" You started to rub your face embarrassed.
"No, I just…." He narrowed his eyes, inspecting your face as if he was trying to recall something. "I think I...I had a dream about you last night,"
You blushed, your heart fluttered. This was it, it was happening. It was really happening
"A good dream, I hope," you joked, trying to keep calm.
"The best," he smiled dreamily. Your face lit up, was it REALLY happening? Right now?
"Rafa, I--" You started to go for it.
"I'm sorry I don't know why I said it like that," he shook his head with a laugh. "I'm sure it was nice though,"
Nope. Not now.
"Right, I'm sure," you smiled, trying to hide the fact that you were dying inside.
"Are you okay?" He was actually paying enough attention to you to realize you were faking it
"What...yeah no I'm fine," you lied. "I just um, I didn't sleep well last night,"
"Oh. Well, feel free to make yourself something from my machine," he offered. He had never offered that before, his machine was too precious and too expensive to waste on anyone else.
"...Seriously? But that thing is your baby," You asked him astonished.
"...Something tells me I've been too focused on my 'things' lately," He chuckled.
"Oh well thank you sir,"
"Rafa carino, por favor," he said nonchalantly, then immediately stopped and looked at his desk in shock that those words fell out of his mouth so easily. You started at him equally shocked. Maybe this would be easier than you thought. You decided to run with it, maybe prodding more memories
"What's that mean?" You quickly asked. He stared at you for a second, still trying to figure out why he had called you that.
"It um--," he cleared his throat nervously. "Nothing," he lied. "It's just a word like amigo or kid"
Your face scrunched. Why would he lie? This is it. This is why you didn't know before. He's been trying to hide it!!!!!
"No it doesn't," You challenged him. What were you doing?! Was it totally smart to provoke him like this? What if he fired you?
"I'm sorry?” He asked, stunned.
“It means honey or sweetie, it's a term of endearment," You spit back the explanation he gave you yesterday.
“How do you know that…?” He was beyond suspicious.
How indeed. You raced your brain trying to think of a plausible reason.
“My best friend is Latina. She calls me that all the time,” You lied. Well, kind of lied. Chloe was Latina and spoke spanish, but she had never called you carino.
“….Then why did you ask me what it meant?” He kept suspicions.
“I wanted to see if you'd admit it,” You smirked at him. He was shocked. You had never been so informal with him, so bold, so snarky.
“….What has gotten into you, Miss y/l/n?” He suddenly asked you in a very “boss” like voice. Shit. He was pulling rank on you. You pushed too far.
"I…" Your smirk fell, your voice fell soft.
"That must have been some shit sleep you got. I suggest you go get caffeinated, compose yourself and come back more professional," He spat.
“...Y-yes sir.” You bolted out of the office.
As soon as you were gone, Rafael began to pace in his office. Why had he called you that? And so casually and easily? He was usually so careful about showing you any kind of favoritism or affection, it was highly unprofessional. And besides, you were too young for him. He couldn't be like a kid with a crush.
----
After you came back you both kept quiet and professional. Exchanging only pleasantries and things, Both lost in your own insecurities and feelings. Finally at the end of the day you went into his office quietly .
“Well if you didn't need anything else sir, I'm going to take off.,” You said meekly.
“Y/N wait,” he got up and walked up to you. "I'm sorry about this morning, I misspoke and I shouldn't have taken it out on you,”
“Oh.” You weren't thrilled that he stuck to his denial of feelings, but at least he was chill again
“Oh it's fine,” you talked nervously.” I should have never been so flippant,”
“No no, actually it was quite refreshing,” he smiled. “You're usually so quiet and timid, I like this side of you,” He stroked your hair, then instantly realized what he was doing and stepped back. What was happening?!
“Ahem so I’ll see you--” He started to say goodbye, but he noticed a penguin charm you had dangling off your phone in your hand.
“Penguins,” He whispered.
“I’m sorry?” Your heart fluttered again.
“I love penguins,” He just said softly, almost as if in a trance.
“I know,” You went for it again.
“What? How do you know that?” The moment fleeted again, his memory long gone.
“Oh um,” You bit your lip. “I mean, who doesn’t love penguins? They’re adorable,”
“Indeed,” He nodded with a smile. “Always so dapper in their--
“Tuxedos,” You finished his thought. He stared at you in shock for the fiftieth time that day, but once again it flushed into a beautiful smile.
“Right,” He nodded again, still smiling.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Rafa," You smiled, a genuine flirty smile. At this rate you'd be right back where you were yesterday in no time.
Rafael just stood staring at the door after you left. What were you doing to him?
----------
As he walked out of his office, Olivia met him at the door, holding a cup of coffee.
"An apology latte," she smiled apologetically.
"I should get mad at you more often," he chuckled, taking and sipping the latte. He made a face.
"What?" Olivia's face turned to panic.
"Nothing, just kind of a weird aftertaste," he shrugged.
"Oh maybe they decaff’d you," she laughed nervously.
“Maybe…” He stared at the cup suspiciously.
“How about dinner? On me?” She offered, hoping to distract him.
“Sure….” He shook off his suspicion and smiled at her.
They walked arm in arm, Rafael was oblivious to the evil smile crawling across Olivia's lips.
----
You went home floating on cloud nine. When you walked in the door Chloe was folding her laundry. When she saw you she smiled hugely at the door.
“So.. how did it go?” She grabbed your hand and pulled you to your couch.
“It was amazing. He didn't remember yesterday, but I think he has some idea of what happened. And I think it's drawing his feelings out!!” You clapped your hands together wildly.
“Girl that's awesome!” She giggled. “Well tomorrow you'll just have to look amazing. See if you can draw more out,” She grinned.
You went to bed feeling more hopeful than you had in a long time.

In the beginning Part 2
Casey Novak X Alex Cabot X Reader
Tumblr media
I've been settling into my job for a few weeks now. Casey has been kind enough to show me around and help me out if I need it. It's been so easy to talk to her and get to know her if only it was that easy with Alex. The number of people that give me sad eyes when they realize I work under Alex Cabot is insane. Apparently, she's the talk of the office and even has gained the nickname of the Ice Queen. Alex is incredibly smart and she's good with the clients however she's not that nice to the people in the office except with Casey. The interaction between the two made me question the kind of relationship they had. So one day at lunch I came right out and asked Casey and she confirmed that the two of them are in a relationship. I figured as much but I didn't expect to be somewhat sad that they were both taken. After lunch, I head back to the office to finish up my work.
Five hours later I'm finishing up and ready to take the files to Alex. I knock on the door and wait for her to answer. When I hear a come in I open the door. Walking to the desk I stand there waiting for her to acknowledge me. While waiting I couldn't help but stare at her and admire her beauty.
“Are you just going to stare at me or tell me why you're here?” Alex asks looking up at you.
“Sorry,” you say shaking your head.
“I'm just bringing these flies to you with the notes. I'll just leave them here,” you tell her putting the flies at the edge of the desk.
Alex barely says one word to you as you drop the files down and head out.
“Umm, I'll see you tomorrow,” you mumble.
“Mmhm, see ya,” Alex says shortly.
Alex’s POV:
Soon after you leave Casey is knocking at the door.
“Hi, hon you ready to leave?”
“Yes, I was waiting for you,” I tell her as I get my things in order. Casey and I walk out of the building holding hands as we walk home.
“Alex,” Casey says softly.
“Hmm?”
“I like y/n. “
“I know you do. “
“What do you think?”
I stop to make eye contact with Casey. I can tell she really likes you. I sigh “I don’t know she's pretty young case.”
“She is. But if you actually got to know her you'd understand. She's smart Alex, and kind, and I really like her. However, I love you and we won't pursue it if you're not comfortable. “ Casey smiles at me and I know what she wants but she would drop if I told her to.
“Casey if you like her then we will pursue it. Trust me i can see the appeal but you know I just need time, especially after last time. Bit if you're ready we can go slow. “
Casey smiles wide and kisses me.
“Thank you, Alex. “
“Don't thank me yet we don't even know if she's gay. “ I chuckle as we start waking again.
“Oh trust me she is.”
“How do you know?”
“I've seen her look at you. Especially when you're in court she watches your ass.” Casey tells me giggling.
“Does she really?”
“Yes, she does.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over the past few weeks, you and Casey have been getting closer talking almost every day and meeting for lunch. You really liked Casey and almost felt bad since you knew she was with Alex. It was weird to you that someone like Casey could be with someone like Alex.
Alex hasn't been making your job very easy lately. She's constantly on your ass and taking out all her stuff out on you. Maybe it has something to do with you hanging around Casey. Sitting in the diner you decide to let Casey know.
“Casey I don't think we should do this anymore.”
“Do what? Lunch?” she asked you confused. You nod your head yes.
“Why?”
“I think it's upsetting Alex. She's been extra bitchy towards me lately and I don't want her to think that we have something going on.”
Casey looks at you for a moment before she lets out a loud laugh.
“Oh honey, Alex is just a serious person especially when it comes to work. I promise you she knows we hang out and she's fine with it. “Casey tells you reaching across the table to squeeze your hand.
“Are you sure? I don't want to cause any problems.”
“I'm sure besides Alex and I have an interesting relationship.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, we sometimes bring in a third-person into our relationship. Usually just for sex but here recently we've been looking for a partner more than a hookup.”
You almost choke on your drink trying not to spit it out. Casey giggles as you cough a little.
“Are you okay?” she giggles.
“Yeah, umm I just didn't think Alex would be into that. “
Casey laughs “well you be surprised.”
You laugh as well not really knowing how to take the new information. Maybe this whole crush on Alex and Casey could work out after all. Casey clears her throat drawing your attention back to her.
“Why don’t you come over tonight? I’m making dinner and I think you’ll see Alex in a different light. “
“Maybe, Umm are you sure that’s okay?”
“I wouldn’t have asked if it wasn’t.”
“Okay. I’ll be there. Just text me a time.”
“Well do. See ya later.”
Casey leaves first while you stagger behind your mind heavy with thoughts and your body filled with anxiety.
Casey’s POV:
After lunch I head to Alex’s office. Knocking on the door I walk in to greet her.
“Hey babe.”
Hi, sweetie. Did you have a good lunch with y/n?”
“Yes, that’s why I’m here actually.”
“Oh yeah?”
“I invited her to dinner tonight.”
“Ah huh. And how do you expect this evening to go?”
“Well I’m going to ask her to join us if that’s okay with you.”
Alex sits for a moment in silence. I can see the wheels in her head turning. I lean down to catch her eyes.
“Alex, If you really don’t want this please tell me. I won’t do this if you’re not 100% in it.”
Alex smiles as she makes her way around the desk to me. She pulls me in for a hug and a kiss.
“Im in Casey. I just think it’s going to take some time. But you already have a connection with her and I think it would great for you. Just give me some time okay? We can date her individually and together. I just need time.”
“I’ll give you whatever you need. You know that.”
“I know honey I’d do the same for you.” Alex tells me as she leans into to kiss me again.

After six long months, I present to you:
Tupelo Honey
Word Count- 3k
Warnings- language, angst, discussion of abortion
A/N- With help from familiar strangers, Honey makes a choice that will change Leon's life and hers forever.
Tumblr media
Chapter 4: Angel of The Morning
Late fall of 1968, Morning:
Honey clutched at the pillow as her hips flew towards the ceiling. Her back arched before she bent forward and twisted her free hand in Leon's thick hair. His name echoed off the bedroom walls as she came without caring if they woke Johnny this early.
Honey’s chest heaved as her body attempted to regulate her breath. Leon threw the sheets back and looked up at her. His hand absently ran up and down her stomach to her breasts and back.
“What?” Honey’s voice was sleepy as she met a green-eyed gaze. She propped up on her elbows when his brows knit together. “What's wrong?”
“Not much, love. It's just, your..” Leon's cheeks turned kinda pink, “stuff tastes different. You been eating anything new?”
“No? You mean it tastes different when I cum?”
“Just this time. You gonna start your thing?” He pointed towards Honey’s sex. “Period.”
“I don't think so. Should be around any day now though.”
Leon crawled up towards the pillows and laid down beside his girlfriend. His arm draped across her collarbone as he snuggled up to her shoulder. He nipped at the skin before kissing it. Then pressed his forehead into her neck.
Honey caught a scent of herself on him. “It even kinda smells different. I better get to the clinic just in case. I've not felt that weird other than that stomach bug.” Her nails lightly scratched Leon's forearm as she spoke. “I can't have an STI, since you went all mad and demanded my undying monogamy.”
Leon ignored her. “Maybe,” he yawned and stretched his impossibly long arms and legs straight out, “you caught a case of the pregnancy.” He sat up and leaned down to kiss her stomach.
“Don't say that!” Leon's familiar whine filled Honey’s own voice. “I won't keep it. That's legal here now.”
Leon stared back at her, “Just like that.”
“It's my body, Leonidas. Look at how short I am. Imagine this knocked up,” Honey waved a hand down the length of her naked self.
“I do.” It came out a whisper. Honey glowered. “Don't pull that face on me, Gracie. I know it's your body. We just ain't exactly safe with our shaggin’ are we? Leavin’ it up to chance. Then you get angry if there's one on the way. Keep it. End it. Give it up for adoption. I know it's YOUR choice. You tell me all the bloody time about it being your body. I respect that because I love you. Before you give me cheek, I think about having a baby with you loads.”
“Leon that's not what we want.” Honey sat up on her haunches beside him. “Look at us. We share a one bedroom flat with a ginger con man that we don't even sleep in half the time based on whether he wants to fuck someone or not. Our loo is literally a closet, and we have to shower at your parents’. There's one dresser and half a wardrobe for both of us. Where the hell would we even PUT a baby let alone afford to have one.”
“We've saved money! My parents would help us get a proper house or flat. Or stay with them until we could.”
“Oh sure. Us, your parents, your Yia Yia, one uncle and a baby. Sounds cozy.”
“I grew up in a place with more living there than that. We could get a loan.”
“What will we put down for occupations, Leon?!” Honey was losing her cool. A wave of nausea hit her, but she choked it back. “Occasional actor, waiter, and FBI fugitive?! I can't out myself like that.”
“We lie. I'm an actor. I'm sure you know loads of people who could fake it. Look respectable. I'll cut my hair and clean up my face.” Leon was equally annoyed, hands fidgeting in his lap. His legs started to bounce up and down as he reached, but fumbled with the nightstand drawer.
“Don't you fucking dare cut that hair. Who will we even pretend to be? Patti Boyd and fucking George Harrison? I'm an awful blonde and your hair would take hours to straighten. Leon we would have to fake marriage certificates. That's fraud. Real and proper, honest prison time fraud.”
Leon ignored her and finally yanked the drawer practically in half. The handle came off in his hands causing him to mumble under his breath and drop it to the ground. In a fury he tossed the contents aside in a search for something Honey wasn't sure of.
“If you're about to get high, I'll fucking leave you right now.” Honey got up and snapped her fingers in Leon's face. “We're not done talking about this.”
He looked up at her, his green eyes ablaze for the first time in their relationship. “I'm not GETTING high! Will you quit talking to me like I'm a bloody fucking child? You and Johnny always like I'm mad or deficient. I have a university degree from Cambridge, and I speak three languages. I'm observant not stupid.”
“That's.. That's not what I meant,” Honey bit her lip. “You are one of the smartest guys I've ever met. I just.. Worry about the amount of opium you started sneaking into your pot. You're working less and letting Johnny call the shots.”
Leon was lost in his search, “You’re just jealous of someone else pushing me around?” He waved his hand dismissively before Honey could answer. “I’m fine, love. I'm just a bit stressed is all. It helps me relax.”
“Leon, it's heroin. You know what happened to my uncle.”
He ignored her, “I’ll be swell. Promise. Plus I think this idea Johnny has finally.. DAMMIT WHERE'S THAT TOSSER OF A RING?!”
Something fell off the bed onto the wooden floor with a PING! Leon got down on all fours, stark naked and put his eye to the wood. His arm outstretched and came back to him with an object between his long fingers. He held it aloft towards Honey and took her tiny hand inside of his large one. Honey stopped breathing.
“It's not exactly proper, but you aren't exactly a girl into convention, are ya?” Leon smiled up at his girlfriend. He kissed the back of Honey’s hand. “You think better of me than I think of myself. I want to make you happy, and I want to be a good husband and daddy. If this meeting tonight doesn't go well, I'll stop acting. No more pot or opium or acid or coke right bloody now. I'll get a proper job and we can get a proper house and when the time comes, you choose whatever you want. Stay home. Go to work, I'll stay home. So you aren't loaded down by the patriarchy or whatever.”
“Leon,” Honey’s face was pale and she started to swoon. She saw the way his hand swallowed hers, and panicked. Her fucked up brain saw herself lost in Leon the same way.
“Even if we go to the court, just us. Even if we have to leave London because you're worried. I'll go with you. To India like you sorted out before we met. I don't want you to give up on any dream because of this baby. Or me.”
Before she could get any answer out, Leon slid the ring on Honey’s finger. It was stunning, carved marble and amethyst. She knew it was old, Grecian.
“It's purple because Dionysus cried and spilled his wine onto a maiden he offended by his drunkenness. Artemis protected her, turned her to crystal and she absorbed his wine. It sobered him. Your love, when I'm not foolish, will sober me.”
“Leon,” Honey said again, unable to say anything else.
“Will you please marry me, Gracie?”
The question was so pure. His eyes were so green and hopeful. Honey couldn't think or speak around the lump in her throat. But then..
“I can't,” she whispered. “I have to go to the clinic. You've got an early shift at the restaurant.”
Honey was numb as she pulled on some clothes and her coat. She left the flat and Leon naked on his knees in the bedroom.
----
Later that afternoon:
Honey stared straight passed the nurse as she explained exactly what would happen if she decided to not keep the baby. How they suggest she not be alone and to have someone willing to care for her. To make sure there's no infection.
“Ultimately, dove, it's your decision. Unless you're cold-hearted, it might do your head in. It's not as easy as you modern girls think. You might not regret it, but you might. You prepared? Is your husband keen on this idea too?” The nurse nodded at the ring.
“Oh.. we aren't.. I didn't really give him a choice?”
“Well let's see if you're even pregnant first. Then I want you to go back to your partner and have a good talk. Promise me you'll do that?”
The young woman smiled. It was tentative and nervous. “Yeah. Ok. But it won't change my mind.” She held out her arm for the blood draw and took a cup and left for the loo.
Honey sat on the stairs of the clinic and bent down in a wave of nausea. It was amazing that now she knew she was knocked up the symptoms seemed to worsen. Like how noticing a paper cut makes it suddenly sting.
Her breasts were swollen and a fire built in her chest and stomach every time she laid down. What was the absolute worst, she came to realize, how mean she had been to Leon. A total uncool bitch. Honey looked down at the amethyst on her ring finger and began to cry.
“Hey man, you ok?” a voice asked. American.
“Jesus, don't call her man! What is wrong with you?” a female American voice.
“Leave me alone! Last time I was here, I was in Vietnam. I'm freaking the fuck out, Sel.”
“weren't you a cu-”
“Uh!! This is about them, not me.”
One of them sat down next to Honey. “My brother is right, are you ok? Honey, right?”
Honey looked up to meet eyes that almost took her breath away. A young woman around her age smiled and it reminded her of Leon. Her shoulder length hair had soft waves and curls, but her eyes. Her eyes somehow looked like Honey’s.
“Do I know you?” she squinted her eyes and tilted her head.
“Not yet,” the woman’s cheeks pinked a little. “We're.. Leon's..”
“Cousins!” a male voice interjected.
“I didn't know Leon had cousins from- Fuck me on the tube.”
“Tempting, but I don't think Leon would be down for that.” The inflection of his voice, despite being yank, was so much like his.. cousin’s. “My sister and I have been looking all over this stupid city for you the last few days. To meet you before we left. Leon told my sister you were here. He seemed pretty pissed. This is an uh,” he gestured at the building.
“Abortion clinic?”
“You sure that's how you want to handle it?” the young woman questioned softly.
“Well I don't think Leon has the balls to push me down the stairs,” Honey shrugged.
Leon’s cousin, if that's who she was heaved a sigh. “I like to think I have a sharp tongue and a bit of a shrewd mind. I get it from MY mom. Can I be straight with you?”
“I mean I guess it's easier from a stranger?”
“I know for a FACT you won't be giving up on anything. You are already more involved in changing the world than most people your age. And that doesn't have to stop because you're pregnant. Activists can have children or partners. Take her with you! Take Leon! You come from a long line of shit kickers, right?”
Honey narrowed her eyes. She studied this woman’s face again. Her eyes. HER eyes somehow. But Leon’s features. If she had a daughter, this is who she would want her to be. Sharp, like herself, but optimistic like her daddy.
Daddy.. “Did you say her? How do you know any of this? I swear Leon’s family is here or in Greece. You've got to be close, this one is like fucking Patty Duke. Identical cousins. Man you sure you're cool?”
He scratched his body and Honey heard a tinkling. Then she saw the dog tags. “Yeah I'm gravy.” He looked the way Leon had when she rejected him earlier. It broke Honey’s heart all over.
“Drafted?”
He held out his tags and had this longing in his eyes, “Love.”
“You went to Vietnam for love?”
“I stayed for it. Hardest thing I've ever done besides sobriety. Having a kid and an old man is a fucking piece of cake. If you were gonna go through with.. Termination, I think you would've done it right?”
“I just don't know if I have good enough of a reason besides maybe it'll be fine. I don't know what is freaking me the hell out! We both have happily married parents!! And grandparents. But I've put so much on hold for men. I've let them.”
“Yeah but Leon’s not like that.”
“No. He's not. But the drugs and the hare brained schemes terrify me. My uncle, Lenny Bruce? He ran cons with his wife that he knocked up and they were just. Tumultuous. He loved heroin almost more than Honey and Kitty. It killed him in the end. I don't want Leon and I to be the fluke too.”
“If I tell you to say the FIRST thing that comes to your mind about Leon. No thinking, open your mouth and speak. What is the first part of him you think of.”
“His kind eyes. Your eyes,” she gestured towards the man. “Yours are a bit lost, but they're still just as gentle.”
He bit his lip. Honey noticed it trembled just a tad. “Same thing,” his voice hoarse. “What's the first thing that you would DO for him?”
“Be with him in every life we've ever lived and ever will.”
The woman beside her took Honey’s hand in both of hers. Her annoying familiarity forced Honey to listen to everything she was about to say.
“My parents came from a similar taboo situation. They were immigrants (my dad twice), during the worst war. Activists who got in a bit of a mess. They were separated for a while when my mom was pregnant with me. She had me alone. Yet they have been together for OVER 25 years.”
“I cannot imagine two people better suited for each other than my parents. They trust one another IMPLICITLY and are both still very attracted to one another. Trust me. It's gross.!
“Now they have a successful business. My younger brother and I have our own jobs to pay for ourselves, but our parents are paying for us to go to school. Marriage or partnerships are work, but I have seen that it's worth it. I hope I can be as fearless as they are one day.”
Honey took her hand back and rubbed her face. “Why are you two so hell bent on me staying knocked up? Like there’s something real heavy you're not telling me.”
“We're just like, REALLY invested in Leon’s happiness!” the woman exclaimed.
“Or we could just tell her? I saved Dave that way.”
Honey narrowed her eyes, “Convincing.”
“You and Leon and this baby are going to literally save the world?”
“Alright,” Leon's doppelganger decided to take a turn. “Someone took me away from our mom when I was just a baby. I was raised pretty abusively. But I found my parents, OUR parents,” he gestured at his sister. “They just.. welcomed me in, AND my other adopted siblings.”
“You are so, so much like her. You and Leon are like BOTH of our parents. Really we Kostases.. Kosti? We leap without looking. If we fly, we fly. So I know what Leon's decision is. You said it yourself, he's worth being with in every life you live. Isn't that your answer?”
Honey sighed again and stood up. She looked back and forth between the man and woman claiming to have her best interest at heart. The siblings with her eyes and Leon’s. “I can't just rush into this.”
“Says the woman who fell in love on the set of a porno film.”
Honey ignored him. Ignored how he knew that. She put her hand on her stomach tenderly. “I have to say, if we have this kid, I'm not sure why, but I hope it.. she's like you. What's your name?”
“Selina. After the moon.”
Honey smiled in a knowing way. “Stick around, I'm sure Leon would love to see you.”
“We can't, but you'll understand all of this one day.”
“I'll see you again?”
“I promise.”
Then Honey and the cousins parted ways. She and Leon had a lot to discuss.

hello! i've been into taeil lately, so i was thinking about requesting him with prompts 46, 55, and 93, if possible. thank you in advance! 🌝💛
Taeil + #46 What’s this between us?, #55 Ruin me, #93 Don’t tell your parents
genre: angst, friends to lovers to strangers(?)
word count: 1k7 (this is taeil’s fault I swear)
warnings: smoking, slightly suggestive
a/n: now im s a d lol, this is what happens after bing watching sex and the city
-ˏˋ⋆ ̥  prompts ( send in your requests if you want <3)
This could be a dream, and yet it feels more like a nightmare. When you walked into your go-to bar, like you always do every other Friday, Taeil was the last person on Earth you thought you’d run into. The place is packed and certainly there isn’t enough space for you to run away and hide so you decide to just stand next to the counter with your friends, hoping he doesn’t come up to you.  
“Well, look who it is.” your blood freezes in your veins. You turn around in your heels slowly, preparing yourself for what you should say. “Hi, it’s been a long time.” You had broken up with him years ago and you hadn’t seen him after that. You knew that he was working for some corporate in the city but that was it. You had never run into him, not even once. To be fair, you had pictured how your eventual meeting would’ve turned out many times before, however all your fantasies can’t exceed this exact moment. Talking to him feels unreal, like being teleported back in time, a time before responsibilities, anxieties and fears. “You’ve grown taller, I see.” Taeil looks up at you pointing at your shoes. You hear your friends giggling behind you. “And you haven’t lost your sense of humour.” “That’s my only charm, you know that.” He swings his gin tonic in a circle before taking a sip. “C’mon, we both know that’s not true.” You reply gently tapping your fingers on your glass of Chardonnay. It’s definitely hard to keep eye contact, something is keeping your eyes glued to the counter. Taeil can feel it too, as he adjusts his tie.  
Fifteen years ago
“What do you mean you broke my mother’s favourite vase?!” “Exactly what it means, y/n. Oh God, please don’t tell your parents.” “Well, I’m not taking the blame again! Why the hell did you bring your football inside the house?!” “I’m sorry-” “That’s it, I’m never inviting you to my birthday party ever again.”
Those were the kind of fights you would have; you were only thirteen, life had only just begun.  
The days were filled with stupid notes passed during Math class, making fun of each other at lunchtime, eating ice scream at the park. If anyone could’ve ever been your first love, it would’ve been Taeil. You joined the music club just to spend more time with him, but you never said a word on the matter. You have such a clear memory of sitting through hours of rehearsals just to hear him play the piano. It was just a mere crush, you thought, it would fade away eventually. Yet, even now, every time you hear someone playing the piano you are taken back to that sweaty auditorium, you are taken back to the first time ever you had ever felt anything for someone. You are taken back to him.
“Do you still play?” you ask after letting your friends exchange pleasantries with Taeil, introducing him as an ‘old friend’. Inevitably, when one of the tables was cleared, they asked him to join in along with his friends.  
“Sometimes, not as much as I used to. Do you still sing?” Taeil mocks you and you cover your eyes in embarrassment. “Oh God, no.” Your conversation reaches the ears of everyone at the table. “Y/n, you didn’t tell you could sing!” “It was a school thing, I was awful.” An echo of disapproval invades your ears. “Don’t believe her!” Taeil shouts slapping a hand on the hard wood as if to prove his point. You go on saying how Taeil plays the piano magnificently to shift the centre of attention.  
The night goes on between a few drinking games and ridiculous anecdotes about college. Suddenly you ask Taeil if he’d like to accompany you outside to smoke a cigarette. “Since when do you smoke?” he questions, his tone is not judgmental in any way. “I don’t really smoke...” you begin to answer as you try to light up the cigarette. A gentle wind is blowing so Taeil helps by cupping the lighter, you thank him with a nod. “...only when I drink.” you finish after inhaling. Taeil raises an eyebrow in disbelief before pulling out a pack from his pocket. “I guess that makes two of us.” You start to grin and you find yourself unable to stop. “What it is?” “Nothing.” you respond as your grin transform into a full-on laughter. Taeil glances at you and finally gets on the same track as you and joins you. “Man, we’re old.” he exclaims taking a deep draw. “I guess.” “But you haven’t changed much since I last saw you.” You mean when I dumped you. You shut down the little voice of guilt. “Really? I don’t think so...” “You’re still gorgeous.” all of a sudden, the atmosphere is heavier.  
Ten years ago
“I think I’m love with you, y/n.” Taeil told you after making love for the first time. You stared at him in disbelief, unable to wrap your head around the concept of someone loving you back, more than anything your middle school friend who you had known for so long. Even after confessing to him your feelings, him saying he felt the same, all your friends congratulating you because they knew you two would’ve ended up together, you still couldn't believe you were holding the boy of your dreams right in your arms. But when you’re eighteen it’s hard to accept love, even if we long for it with such ache. For a while, you two had your share of fairy tale. For instance, when he kissed you on the first New Year’s Eve you spent as a couple in a square full of people. The fireworks reflected in his eyes but you ardently affirmed how those were in fact stars.  
So where did you go wrong? Why did what you had grow cold one day? During college you realised something was off. You thought the distance between you and your boyfriend Taeil couldn't jeopardise your relationship. However, as time went by, the physical distance slowly became emotional as well, you two being so invested in your lives.There lied the problem, you were starting to lead different lives. The few times you two could meet it didn’t feel genuine, you were trying to act like the people you once were. But those two were mere ghosts at that point.  
“Taeil, what’s this between us? "During the Christmas break of your senior year, you finally sat down with him to have the so dreaded discussion. It went on for hours, but Taeil wouldn't hear any of that. “No, I don’t believe this.” “Taeil, we’ve changed. Everything’s changed and I don’t know if we can go on like this. I don’t want to ruin your life by chaining you up to me.” “Ruin me, I don’t care.” It was like running in circles. The fight burned out eventually, leaving you two exhausted. You both looked up and you knew. “So, it’s over?” you nodded, unable to come up with an answer. He asked you if he could walk you up to your car one last time and you let him. “You know I’m going to win you back one day, right?” Taeil had tears in his eyes but he managed to smile at you. “We’ll see.”
It’s getting late and the bar is slowly emptying. Your friends begin to take off as well, leaving you and Taeil alone. “Do you want to share a cab, y/n?” “Oh, no thanks. I live just five minutes away.” “Oh.” Taeil hesitates before speaking out again. “If you want, I can walk with you. Only if you want.” “That would be nice.” your answer is sincere, not only because you’re kind of scared of walking alone at night, but because you want to keep talking to Taeil. You want to hear about everything you’ve missed, anything at all.  
You start walking side by side into the night, two pair of hands in your respective pockets. Taeil makes fun of the weird noise your heels make when hitting the sidewalk. “Oh, shut up! You’re just jealous!” “Yeah, you’re right. Do you have an extra pair? I could use the few inches.” It definitely doesn’t feel like chasing ghosts anymore. No, you’re just two childhood friends picking up where you’ve left off.
“Okay, I’m going to pop out the big question.” “Shoot.” “Are you seeing anyone?” you knew it was coming, sooner or later. You run through your possible answers and decide that there’s no point in lying. “Absolutely not.” Taeil assumes a shocked expression. “Why so categorical?” he chuckles. “It’s just... I haven’t had much luck.” You go on, counting down mentally how much time you have before you reach your door. “Good.” Taeil says point-blank. You glare at him not expecting him to call you out like that. “Excuse me?” “That means karma is real.” You both burst out laughing yet again. “What about you, mister Karma? Are you dating anyone?” Taeil stays silence for a bit before looking at you dead in the eye. “Absolutely fucking not.”  
“Well, this is it.” You point at your door with you finger. Now you’re both facing each other in front of the stairs. You’ve reached the endgame, and you’re dying to see how all of this will end. “This was nice, y/n.” “It really was.” another break of silence and you feel your heart giving in. You know you both want to say something, yet it feels impossible to make the first step. “Is it okay if-” Taeil stops mid-sentence which sticks a dagger in your chest. “Yes?” you barely whisper, anticipating whatever he’s going to say. “Is it okay if we see each other again? I mean, not as... but as friends. Is that alright?” Those words bring you a kind of happiness you never thought could be felt again. You take a good look at your old friend. His eyes still sparkle and you thank whoever it is that brought him back to you. “I think we can arrange that.” You don’t what’ll happen next, but it doesn’t scare you. In the air there’s a feeling of expectation which you breath in as you walk up the stairs to your door. “Y/n!” you turn around immediately, Taeil is about to get inside a cab. “Remember what I told you!” and just like that you watch him disappear into the night. This scene somehow looks familiar.
Can it be that It was all so simple then? Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, would we? Could we?
