Tonight was the night. You were going out with Bucky Barnes. Excited for the date was a bit of an understatement. You may have told a few customers you had a date when they wished you a good day.
Thank God they were mostly regulars and seemed happy on my behalf.
"Maybe a sundress isn't nice enough," you told Tess, regretting the words the moment they left your mouth. She didn’t need to deal with you and your overthinking. Again.
"It's plenty nice. You’re going to look amazing,” she argued, going to check on the next batch of cookies. “And he can lift the skirt and bury his-"
"I thought you said I didn't have to get laid on my first date with him," you cut her off.
"You don't have to, but the visual alone will give him something for his spank bank later."
"Thank you for the vote of confidence," you smiled, but it quickly faltered.
You weren’t sure why a cloud drifted over your sunny disposition. Bucky was a good guy, a far cry from Richard. Gorgeous, kind, hardworking, the whole package. There was chemistry between the two of you that went beyond mere attraction. Maybe it was the fact that you were falling hard and fast for him that suddenly made you so nervous. You didn’t want to scare him away.
But he said he couldn’t stop thinking about me and he wouldn’t say that if he didn’t mean it.
Tess gave you a pointed look. “Stop overthinking. I’m begging you.”
“I’m not trying to,” you sighed, your nerves almost tempting you to grab a treat from the case. “What if I fall on my face?”
“Like Bucky would let you hit the ground. Even if you do stumble, that’s life. It isn’t going to change the fact that he likes you,” she said as you helped her with the cookies. You still had work to do. “The guy said he can’t get you off his mind and to text him whenever you want. He does not strike me as the type to just say those things and I know he doesn’t strike you as that type either.”
It took a moment, but your smile came back. She was right. Life wasn’t perfect and you were far from it, but Bucky liked you just as you are. Tonight would be unforgettable no matter what.
“I appreciate the pep talk,” you said, thankful that she told you what you needed to hear. “I’ll even tell you the dirty details if anything happens.”
“Hell yeah, you will. Remember, at this point, I’m living vicariously through you until I find my own hunk,” she winked. “But I mean it. Have fun tonight and get your man.”
I will.
Tumblr media
After your shift, you rushed to change for your date. You somehow managed to arrive a few minutes early outside of Bucky's shop and took a deep breath to get yourself under control. Catching your reflection in the window, you smiled before you turned away. Since Bucky hadn’t given you any hint for what you were doing, you chose your nicest sundress and kept your makeup minimal. You looked and felt beautiful, though you wished you would’ve brought a jacket with you.
Maybe Bucky will let me borrow his if he has one.
“Holy shit.”
You spun around when you heard Bucky’s voice behind you, your heart fluttering as he met you on the sidewalk. Instead of the jeans you usually saw him in, he wore khakis, a button up shirt, and a blue blazer that matched his eyes. He had his hair down, perfectly parted on the right side. You were so busy staring at the broad, handsome man that it took you a moment to realize he was trying to hand you something.
Flowers.
“Sorry. You just… wow,” he said as you took the small bouquet, sweeping his gaze over you as your cheeks grew warm. “You look so beautiful.”
You giggled and quickly covered your mouth with your hand, butterflies in your stomach when he gently smiled. “Don’t apologize,” you smiled back, taking a moment to smell the flowers. “You look pretty ‘holy shit’ yourself.”
His nose scrunched as he laughed and offered you his hand. “So, you’re telling me I clean up well. Steve insisted on the blazer when I said I wanted to bring my leather jacket.”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying. Though I wouldn’t have minded the leather jacket,” you said. He would’ve looked gorgeous, as always. “And thank you for suggesting we meet here. We had a last minute order and I was scrambling."
"It's no problem. One of my clients was running a few minutes late and I almost had to take you out in jeans."
"I wouldn't have minded," you said. You both worked hard and understood that things would come up from time to time. "So, where are we headed?"
He cleared his throat as he led you to his car. “Well, do you want the good news or the bad news?”
Your stomach dropped a little. “Mmm. Bad news first,” you said after a moment. “Always better to end on a high note.”
“Bad news was I had planned to take you out on my motorcycle so we could have a picnic in the park. There was going to be live music and I would’ve asked you to dance,” he explained, looking up at the sky. “But…”
“The weather called for a storm tonight, didn’t it?” you mused, a wistful smile on your face when he nodded. The image of being in his arms under the stars as music drifted through the air made your heart skip a beat. It sounded like the perfect evening.
“Yeah. The band is rescheduling,” he said, tucking his hair behind his ear as he looked at the ground. “Then I thought I could take you to this art gallery nearby. They normally have these stunning paintings of landscapes and various statues, but the current exhibit is on human sexuality and reproduction. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but maybe it was too much for a first date.”
“Oh, come on. It couldn’t have been that bad,” you argued as he stopped and took out his phone.
“No?” he asked, tapping his screen before he showed you what you assumed was the page for the gallery.
“…That’s a giant dick,” you said before you could stop yourself, tilting your head as you stared at the phone. “And does that say BALLS?”
An older woman crossing in the opposite direction gave you an amused stare before you and Bucky burst into a fit of laughter. You had to hold on his arm to keep from collapsing on the ground. It was the funniest thing you had seen since you could remember and to think you almost saw it in person.
This date is off to a great start.
“Maybe I wanted to see a giant dick and balls,” you said once you caught your breath, pointing at him when he opened his mouth. “And don’t say ‘all I have to do is pull down my pants’ or something like that.”
But I know he has a big dick. I know.
He smirked as he started walking again. “Only if you ask me nicely, Sugar.”
He’s going to kill my ovaries.
“I’ll ask you very nicely, Hottie,” you teased, wondering exactly where you were going then. “If that was the bad news, what’s the good news?”
“I managed to get us a reservation at one of the nicest restaurants in town,” he said, standing a bit taller.
He’s trying to impress me.
“That's really nice. And I’m sure dinner will be amazing,” you assured him, hoping he didn’t beat himself up over having to change his plans. It wasn’t his fault it was going to rain. He could’ve taken you to a fast food place and it would’ve been fine because you were with him.
“Speaking of, I better get us there so we aren’t late,” he said, opening the door for you to get in. “Maybe if you agree to a second date, I can take you out on my bike and have that picnic.”
“I’d love that,” you smiled, carefully putting the flowers in your lap and trying not to appear too eager that he was already thinking of a second date. You glanced around the car when he got in and drove off, noticing it was cleaner than when he took you home days prior.
Did he clean it for me?
You grinned as he hummed along to the radio, watching as he drummed his fingers along the steering wheel. “You could’ve made it as a musician if you weren’t a tattoo artist.”
“Now you’re just flattering me, Sugar,” he said. “Believe it or not, if I wasn’t a tattoo artist, I would’ve liked to be a science teacher. I loved science and everything space related growing up.”
“Really?” you asked. He would’ve been a wonderful teacher, no matter what age group he taught. “Okay. That’s another date night.”
“What? Playing teacher?” he joked, taking his eyes off the road for a second to wink at you.
“No,” you giggled, carefully shoving his arm since he was driving. “We’re going to a science museum. That's our third date. I’m going to watch you happily geek out over everything.”
“Yeah?” he asked, glancing at you after he parked the car. “You’d do that?”
“Yeah, I would. I think it would be a blast.”
I just want to spend time with you.
A soft expression took over his features when he took your hand and brought it to his mouth. His lips lightly brushed your skin, heat pooling in your gut as he made eye contact with you. The look alone made you want to skip dinner and go right to dessert. Why not throw caution to the wind?
“I’ll make it worth your while,” he promised before he got out.
You exhaled slowly and mentally told your libido to calm down. At the very least, you had to get through dinner. He went through the trouble of getting a reservation at a nice place and you weren’t about to take that away from him.
“Oh, wow. I haven’t been here before,” you said once you got a look at the name. Richard used to brag about the place, but never actually took you. From what you remember, he said the food was supposed to be expensive. You didn’t want Bucky to splurge on you.
“I haven’t either,” Bucky admitted. A fancy place didn’t seem like his style. “But it looked romantic.”
You bit your lip as he opened the door, the flickering candlelight in the entryway alone providing an intimate ambience. The date may not have been what he planned, but he clearly did his research and put thought into doing something nice for you. When was the last time someone tried to do something nice for you? When did anyone go out of their way to make you feel special?
“Hello,” Bucky said as the hostess greeted you. “Reservation for two under James.”
James?
The hostess scanned her screen before she looked up. “I’m sorry. That name isn’t coming up.”
Bucky’s cheeks turned pink when you glanced at him. “It should be under James, miss. James Barnes. Reservation for two for 7pm. I spoke with Charles. He confirmed it.”
You moved closer to Bucky when the hostess searched through her screen again. As calm as he sounded, you sensed he was anything but inside. You hoped he wasn’t embarrassed. Maybe she skipped over his name. A simple mistake.
“Charles did make a reservation for you, but he entered it for 7pm next Friday,” she said as she looked between the two of you. “We’re fully booked tonight. I'm sorry, James.”
Oh, no.
There was a tick in Bucky’s jaw before he shook his head and you wanted nothing more than to hug him. “No, that’s… It’s for tonight.”
“I’m so sorry. I can see if we can squeeze a table in for you, but it’ll be at least an hour,” she said, shifting uncomfortably on her feet. She probably expected one or both of you to make a scene. "I can get my manager?"
Bucky swallowed when he looked at you, his cheeks still pink. The candlelight danced in his eyes, but all you saw was sadness. No. You wouldn't allow that. This was your first date and it was going to be amazing.
You put a hand on his arm, his muscles relaxing under your touch. "It's okay. I know this amazing place that’s right around the corner."
"Are you sure?" he asked, the hostess visibly relaxing when you nodded.
"You have a good evening," you said to the hostess and tugged Bucky back toward the door. "I'm sure. Trust me. We may even beat the rain if we walk now."
“Okay,” he said, avoiding your gaze as you left. “Fuck. This is the worst first date, isn’t it?”
Your heart broke for him. All he wanted was to give you a nice evening and everything he tried fell through. “Not even close. And you have nothing to apologize for. Charles messed up the reservation, Hottie, not you.”
“Yeah, he did,” he said, his lip tugging like he wanted to smile. “I just really wanted tonight to be special and since I couldn’t give you the date I planned, I wanted to at least give you something nice. I couldn't even do that.”
Hearing that made you stop, even when you felt the first raindrop. "Tonight is special because you're spending time with me. That's all I wanted," you promised, squeezing his hand for good measure.
"That's really all?" he asked as he squeezed your hand in return.
"Well, not completely," you teased as another raindrop landed on your shoulder. "Maybe a kiss at the end of our date."
A wide smile formed on his face as he leaned in, not quite kissing you. "Whatever you want, Sugar."
As romantic as it was to stand on the sidewalk with him, the rain began to come down harder and had you rushing with him around the corner. “If you're still disappointed, you’ll feel much better when we eat. Antonia’s has the best food,” you said, holding out your hand in a grand gesture as you arrived. “Tada!”
Antonia's was a bit of a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Not extraordinary on the outside, but lively and bright on the inside. The food and service were top notch. It was one of your favorite places.
“Wait, Antonia's?” he asked, a twinkle in his eyes. “This is where you’re taking me?”
“Yeah,” you replied, suddenly nervous as you faced him. Did he not like it? “Is this okay?”
“This is one of my new favorite restaurants,” he said.
No way.
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. I designed one of Antonia's tattoos. And I decided to check out the place."
He's full of surprises.
"Then you know you're in for a treat," you winked.
The hearty aroma of the restaurant filled the air as you went inside and wiped some of the rain off your dress. Antonia was speaking with the hostess as you went up to the stand. The owner was involved in virtually every part of her restaurant.
"Welcome to…" Antonia began as she looked at you, then at Bucky, then back at you. "Oh! You two… it's a date!"
Antonia looks so happy.
"Hi. And yes. We're on a date," you giggled when Bucky sheepishly smiled. It was sweet. "You wouldn't happen to have a table for two available, would you?"
Antonia put her hand over her heart and flagged down a waiter with the other. "Lover's special for these two. Go."
You exchanged a look with Bucky, who appeared just as confused as you were. "Lover's special?"
"Yes, yes. Come with me," she said, patting Bucky's cheek before she took you through the restaurant. You expected her to seat you at one of the few empty tables, but she passed them to take you to a door in the back. "Tonight is special and that means a special dinner."
Your eyes widened at the sight before you once she opened the door. There was a lone table in the middle of the room, flowers similar to the bouquet Bucky gave you sat in the center. Unlike the bright main room, the dimmed lights gave the room a romantic glow.
Perfect.
"Peter will serve you. And if you need anything, just ask, okay?" Antonia asked, putting her hand over her heart again. Were there tears in her eyes? "Two of my favorite customers. Together! Enjoy!"
You had to pause and swallow the lump in your throat once she left you alone. A restaurant owner showed more enthusiasm for your date than your mom did for anything that involved you. She likely never would.
"You okay?" Bucky asked, pulling out your chair.
"I'm fine," you replied, refusing to let the thought of your mom damper the evening. "A little chilly. I should've brought a sweater with me."
Bucky removed his blazer and put it around you, tenderness in his blue eyes as he rubbed your arms. "I can't wait to see you in my leather jacket," he said, helping you take your seat before he took his.
Oh, he's going to give me his jacket? Am I going to only wear his jacket? Fuck.
"Thank you," you said, inhaling as he rolled up one of his sleeves beneath the elbow and then the other. You reached across the table to lightly trace one of the tattoos on his right arm. "It was nice of Antonia to put us back here."
"Then why did you look so sad when she left?"
He caught that?
"She just looked so happy to see us together and I didn't expect that. It's nice that someone is rooting for us," you said, tracing your finger along his wrist before you stopped. "I'm sorry. I should've asked before I started touching."
"Don't apologize. I like your touch," he said in a low voice.
You lifted your gaze, seeing fire in his eyes that had nothing to do with the dim lighting. When he turned his hand over to hold yours, you made no move to pull away. You wished you could put your hands all over him.
"Hi! I'm Peter!" The waiter greeted as he brought water to the table. Bucky didn't let go of your hand. "I'll be taking care of you tonight."
"Only one taking care of my girl tonight is me," Bucky said. As much as you loved hearing that, you were glad he gave poor Peter a tiny smile so he could relax. "I'm kidding. It's good to see you, Peter."
"Y-You, too, Mr. Barnes. And you, Miss. You have the best cupcakes in town."
"Thanks," you smiled, quickly putting in your order before you gazed at Bucky. "So, James. Tell me more about you. How long have you been friends with Steve?"
"James is my first name. Everyone calls me Bucky," he chuckled before he shook his head. "And that punk."
You smiled softly as you listened to Bucky, not at all surprised by how easily the conversation went. Steve was his best friend since childhood and they served together before they went into business together. It was evident that he took pride in his shop and respected everyone who worked there. He carried the same affection in his tone when he spoke about his sister, Rebecca. He liked to frequent art galleries with Steve, but also enjoyed riding his bike, reading, and everything science in his spare time.
I could listen to him talk for hours.
"You know, you haven't said much about yourself," he pointed out as he set his napkin on his empty plate.
"I haven't?" You asked.
"No, you haven't and I don't want to monopolize the conversation," he said, leaning forward to give you his full attention. "I want to know more about you."
You tightened the blazer around you, unsure of what to say. "My life isn't exactly exciting," you said, wishing you could think of something clever or fun to discuss.
"Doesn't have to be exciting. I just want to know you," he said before Peter showed back up.
"Would you like to look at the desert menu?" he asked as he took your plates away.
"I think you can bring the check. We're going to skip dessert," you answered, giving Bucky an assuring smile when he frowned. "Let's go to my shop instead."
If Bucky wanted to really know you, you had to tell him more of your story. Your bakery was the only place to do it. And it would be the perfect way to end the evening.
Tumblr media
After you left the restaurant, with Antonia asking you to come back again, Bucky drove as safely as he could to the bakery. The rain didn't let up at all. You shrieked as you struggled to get the keys out of your purse, Bucky's blazer now soaked the longer you stood there. "Why didn't I get these out when I was still in your car?!" You shouted over the downpour.
"Why didn't I bring an umbrella?!" He yelled back, putting his hands over your head as if they would protect you.
The two of you practically fell through the door once you unlocked it and shut off the alarm. "We made it," you laughed, careful not to slip on the floor. He had his arm around you just in case. Tess was right, He wouldn't let you fall. "I'll get us some towels and you have your pick of any dessert I have in the fridge."
"You have any cupcakes?" He asked.
Your breath caught in your throat when you stepped back and caught the outline of multiple tattoos through his soaked shirt. "Yeah."
"See something you like?" he smirked, running a hand through his wet hair.
Fuck me.
"I do," you said, glancing down at yourself. "But I'm freezing and I owe you dessert."
Tess might also have words if I let Bucky ravage me by the front door.
You took Bucky to the kitchen and grabbed a few towels. It wouldn't dry you off completely, but it would help. You also put on some soft music. Not to set the mood necessarily, but just in case.
"So, this is where the magic happens," Bucky said, running the towel along his exposed skin.
"It is," you said, placing your hand on the counter. "You said you wanted to know me. It starts here."
"In the kitchen?"
"In the kitchen," you repeated, going to the fridge to take a container of cupcakes out. "I used to visit my grandparents every weekend when I was growing up. My dad wasn't around and my mom said it was for family quality time, but she never stuck around. The reality was that I cramped her style and she passed me off to them because she knew they wouldn't say no."
Bucky's jaw clenched as you let him take a cupcake. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault," you said, gripping the lid tightly before you closed the container. "I remember crying because I wanted to take dance classes and try and make friends. My mom said I would be a terrible dancer and that it would be a waste of time and money. A great thing for a kid to hear, right?"
"Jesus," he whispered.
It wasn't exactly the happiest conversation to have, but you wanted to show Bucky a part of you that you didn't show to most people. "My grandma wiped my tears away and brought me into her kitchen. Said she had the perfect cure for the blues. Baking. And that's what we did every weekend until I got old enough to look after myself."
"Your grandma sounds amazing," he said, carefully examining the cupcake in his hand. "And baking became your passion."
"It did. She taught me to pour love into every creation I make. And that's what Tess and I do for others. If someone is having a bad day, at least they can have a treat and feel a little better," you said, pride in your eyes as you looked around. "My grandma supported my dream, but my mom almost disowned me for wanting to run this place. It isn't good enough in her eyes."
I'm not good enough.
Bucky's nostrils flared as he set the dessert down. "Your business isn't good enough for her? What the hell? It's flourishing. I can barely find a lull to come in to get some undivided attention. And your customers love you. She should be proud of you."
His defense of you was heartwarming. "Doesn't matter how successful my business is. She wanted me to marry rich, probably so she could get money from me, but I didn't. She berated me when I broke up with Richard. No matter what I do, I'm never going to be good enough in her eyes," you told him, patting the counter with your hand. "But this makes me happy and that's enough."
"That's why you were sad that Antonia was so happy about our date, wasn't it? Because your mom either doesn't or wouldn't support it," he guessed, reaching for you and pulling you into his arms. "She'll probably hate me. I'm not rich. Covered in tattoos."
"I don't care what she thinks of you. I don't need a rich guy or fancy dates. I just want someone who can provide companionship and support. Someone who respects and cares for me," you said, wrapping your arms around him. "A good, hard-working guy like you deserves the same."
It was too soon to voice it, but Bucky was the kind of man you needed in your life. Someone you could share parts of yourself with and know he wouldn't judge. A man who made your heart race beyond lust.
A partnership.
He stared deeply into your eyes and you had no idea what was going through his head, but his gaze told you so much. How could a pair of eyes be so expressive? "You're perfect, Sugar, and more than enough. You hear me?"
Tears welled up in your eyes before you blinked them away. He sounded sincere and unashamed at his declaration. You hadn't done anything to deserve such praise. "No, I'm not," you whispered.
"You are to me. You took a chance and asked me out. Soothed me when tonight didn't go the way I thought it would," he said, gripping your chin to recapture your gaze. "And you trusted me enough to share something vulnerable with me when you didn't have to. It means everything."
"I feel like I can open up to you," you said as the two of you slowly swayed to the beat. You couldn't remember why you were nervous about your date to begin with.
"And I'll take care of you. I mean it."
I hope he knows I'll take care of him, too.
"You know," you began with a soft smile. "Our first kiss was in your shop."
"It was," he smiled.
"So I think it's only fair that we have our second kiss in my shop," you said.
"You did say you wanted a kiss to end our date," he said, bringing a hand to the back of your neck, but giving you a chance to stop him.
You didn't.
Even though you expected it, you still gasped when he molded his mouth against yours. Your heart pounded furiously in your chest, making you both eager and pliant as he licked his way across your lips. When he brushed his tongue against yours and took possession of your mouth, you mewled. Desire nearly blinded you from the taste of him.
I want more.
"I don't want our date to end," you breathed, clutching his arms to steady yourself.
"It doesn't have to," he said, resting a hand on your hip. His eyes were dark and full of want. To have him look at you that way, how could you possibly end the evening with one kiss? Why deny yourself what you both wanted?
"No, it doesn't," you agreed with a coy smile. "So. My place or yours?"
Tumblr media
So. How do we think the evening will go? Love and thanks for reading! 💙

The ride or die
Jason Todd x Male reader
Jason has a boyfriend who is Bruce Wayne’s assistant.
Warnings: swearing, sex, violence and mentions of death
Tumblr media
10 years flew by as you moved from place to place, spending some time in London, then Europe, then back to London. Moving to Gotham for work.
I guess you could say you were trying to find yourself, but it was not easy. Maybe you were running away, from yourself or something. But you felt ready to stay in one place.
Bruce Wayne took you in as his assistant around 7 years ago, then you worked your way up higher.
‘Good morning, would you mind passing this on to my dad please?’ The man asked, handing you a small file.
You smiled and nodded, taking it from the man. He stood tall, at least 6ft plus, big arms, big form, black curly hair, handsome features filled his face. His eyes pulled you in, they were bright but had a hint of darkness to them.
You’d always stood by that eyes are the gateway to the soul, and his told a story without speaking.
‘Sure, he’s just in a meeting but I’ll grab him when he’s free’ you replied, the man smiled as he seemed to take your form in.
‘I’m Jason, Jason Todd’ he introduced, holding his hand out to you.
‘Y/n y/l/n’ you responded by taking his hand, shaking it.
Jason stood leaning over the counter a little as he watched you, catching up with you a little.
‘Jason? I see you’ve met y/n’ Bruce appeared from his office.
Jason walked over to give his dad a quick hug and chatted, disappearing into Bruce’s office.
You spent the last bit of the morning catching up on some deals, organising meetings for Bruce. Occasionally hearing Bruce and Jason laughing I the office.
‘So, I will see you Friday for dinner’ Bruce said as he patted Jason in the back.
Both leaving the office, the two smiled as Jason headed toward the door, him winking at you before he left.
You blushed a little as you watched Jason walk away, hearing Bruce clearing his throat, you picked up the file and handed it to Bruce.
A black tie gala was all you needed right now, Bruce asked if you could come with him as part of a new promotion he’d offered you.
Bruce didn’t want you as his assistant anymore, he wanted you as a partner. A business partner, a man responsible for half of Bruce’s work.
‘Hello again’ Jason caught your attention, his black suit, black leather gloves, flower rested neatly on his jacket.
Jason looked very handsome in this form, he looked like a man who would steal hearts with a look.
‘Hi Jason’ you smiled back, the two of you stood beside each other as Bruce made his speech.
Bruce noticed the two of you talking a lot and getting drinks together, Bruce smiled to himself, he hadn’t seen Jason like this for a long time.
‘He’s gay, and single’ Bruce whispered to Jason quietly as the two stepped away to get a drink.
‘Why are you telling me?’ Jason asked as Bruce shrugged.
‘Just saying’ Bruce chuckled, Jason glanced over to you.
You sat at the bar and began talking to another man, older and well dressed. Jason was about to have a heart attack with how much he hated to see you talking to another guy all of a sudden.
Jason pulled you away from this older man and took a leap.
‘Can I take you out sometime?’ Jason asked, looking into your eyes.
‘Yeah’ you smiled, no hesitation in your response, Jason blushed a little as he leant down and kissed your cheek.
5 years had passed since this moment, 5 amazing years of you and Jason. Bruce refers to you as not only his business partner, but his son in law. Referring to you as this with pride.
It was a long drive through the roads as Jason sped in his Porsche, his sports car. Holding your hand, radio playing tunes as the two of you stared at the road ahead.
Jason’s skin was always the best feeling as you held onto his hand, it was another hour or so until you arrived at the hideout house.
You knew of the other lives, Bruce told you a few years back that he is Batman. Then you figured the others are Nightwing, Robin and so on.
Jason’s white muscle tee complimented his physique well, a physique you would never grow bored of.
The first time you saw Jason without his clothes was a blessing, he took his shirt off and you nearly fell with the sight in front of you. He took his underwear off and you almost screamed with the size. Jason’s manhood swung around as you saw, it would probably be the death of you.
Jason stared off into the distance as his head dropped to what he was doing, not even noticing that you were drifting into a deep sleep.
Jason gripped the steering by wheel as he glanced over at you, his boyfriend, fast asleep and dreaming.
Jason patted your knee as he allowed you to remain where you were, the sun falling down and turning the sky into a black night. The grey skies were filling the road, Jason figured he would need to take a break at some point, pulling over into a parking lot and filling the car with gas.
In these silent moments when Jason’s brain was his own, he remembered all the bits of his life that he tried to forget.
His death, his resurrection and all the things that followed. Jason distracted his brain by remembering all the memories with you.
After another round of driving, Jason parks neatly in the bay as he rushes out of the car. Opens the passenger door for you, holding his hand out and ‘princessing’ you out of the car, gives you a big kiss. Then Jason finishes it off by giving your ass a slap, the big one where he grips on impact.
The two of you get inside the base, a simple getaway for just the two of you. Escaping from Gotham for a night or two. Jason walking behind you so he can have the best view as you walk.
Jason wraps an arm around your waist as he sinks his teeth into your shoulder, you managing to lock the door as you turn to face Jason.
‘Fuck, you’re so cute’ Jason growls as he kisses you, deepening the impact t as he lifts you off your feet.
You wrap your legs around Jason’s waist, holding onto his arms as Jason kisses you, him smiling into it.
The feeling of the wall against your back and being pinned against Jason’s giant form, makes your groin ache for release, Jason knows this and has power over you.
‘I’m gonna fuck you so hard’ Jason pants in between kisses, you dig your fingertips into Jason’s muscles as he presses further against you.
Jason pulls your top off over your head as you do the same to him, running your hands down Jason’s body.
Clothes scattered all over the place as Jason pins you against the wall once again, shoving his length inside you, you threw your head back, eyes rolled back and big grunt.
‘Fuck, baby’ Jason moaned as he began to pump inside you.
Remaining where you were as Jason pumped at an unbelievable pace, you were floating in the air as Jason hit all the right spots.
Jason rested his forehead against your collarbone as he released himself inside you, you gasped as you felt his seed rushing inside you. Kissing the top of Jason’s head as he smiled.
Jason rinsed you down as the two of you stood under the shower, grabbing your face as he kissed you again. The steam from the shower filled the room.
Jason could never go too long without kissing you, he had to be touching you in some way. Jason loved without saying it too much, showing it was always Jason’s thing.
Black tank top, grey sweats and leaning against his Porsche, Jason lit a cigarette as you approached from the house.
‘Ready to go back home baby?’ Jason smiled as he blew smoke out of his mouth, you nodded as you kissed him.
Jason held the passenger door open for you as you got in the car, him finishing his cigarette before driving the two of you back home.
Hand resting on your thigh, you nose deep in a book, Jason listening to the light music from the radio. Jason smiled a little as he sat next to you, his love.

Summary: You're home from college for the holidays. Eddie's playing a show and he wants you to be there. How can you say no to the boy you've been in love with since freshman year?
Pairing: Eddie Munson x fem!reader
Word count: 4.8k
Warnings/tags: mean girl who is jealous of reader, friends to lovers, absolutely lovesick eddie. this man is so in love with you!!!
Tumblr media
Eddie's waiting in front of the gate when you come out. 
You'd honestly believed you'd convinced him not to come. Five times on the phone you had told him he didn't need to. It's a long drive from Hawkins to O'Hare International Airport. You're on break, Eddie's probably busy; there's no way you'd expect him to spend a day chauffeuring you to town. 
But there's his van. 
Eddie is not dressed properly, despite it being November, clad in a leather jacket and jeans. His hair is tied back in a ponytail. You're struck with the urge to run over and kiss him. 
No! No. Bad Y/N. You'd gone to college four states away for a reason. Yes, it had the program you wanted and branching out of Hawkins was necessary. But more importantly, it gave you ample space to get over your longtime crush on your best friend. 
Mission failed, obviously. 
"Eddie," you call weakly, waving. 
He looks up and his face splits into a grin. Eddie meets you halfway to the van, taking your suitcase. 
"I distinctly remember telling you not to pick me up from O'Hare," you say, following him to the car. 
"How long have we been friends?" Eddie asks. "You should know by now that anything you tell me not to do, I'll do it."
"So if I had asked you to pick me up, you wouldn't have?" 
Eddie pretends to think about it. 
"Hmm. Nope. I'd still be here. Gotta make sure Hawkins' princess arrives safely."
He loads your suitcase and closes the door. Then he turns to you, beaming. Your heart does a flip-flop.
"Missed ya, sweets," he says softly.
"I missed you too, Eds."
He pulls you into a hug and you melt. Eddie’s warm and smells like that familiar spicy cologne you’ve been homesick for for the last three months. All the promises you'd made yourself about not getting soft and dumb for Eddie Munson fly out the window. You're hopeless. And he doesn't even know it. 
He releases you and opens the passenger-side door for you, then gets in on the other side. 
"This is pretty," Eddie says, turning the ignition. 
He tugs on the hem of your green knitted sweater. 
"Oh." You swallow. "Thanks. It's new, I got it at a shop near school. They have a guitar store, you know?" 
"Yeah? Did you go inside and wow them with your knowledge about heavy metal?" 
"No," you giggle. "I'd never look at guitars without you. 'S sacrilegious."
“Sacrilegious, huh? Am I some kinda guitar god?” Eddie grins.
“I’m not gonna answer that and blow up your already giant ego.”
“Ego! That’s it. Outta the van, princess.”
“No chance,” you say, clicking your seatbelt. “Royalty deserves proper treatment.”
“You called my bluff,” he sighs. “I have a hard rule about never kicking pretty girls out of my van.”
You turn to look out the window so Eddie won’t see your reaction to that. He starts the car and pulls out of the pickup zone. 
“Hey, so,” he says. “Speaking of guitar gods, we, uh… got a gig.”
You snap your head back. 
“You did? Where?” 
“It’s called Excalibur, ‘bout twenty minutes from Hawkins. Kinda feels like a sign,” he chuckles.
“A paying gig? Eddie, that’s amazing! I’m so proud of you,” you gush.
Eddie’s suddenly shy, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Really?”
“Of course I am. I always believed in you. If anybody can be a rockstar, it’s you.”
Eddie glances at you, then back at the road. He seeks out your wrist and squeezes. He might as well be squeezing your heart.
“Thanks, princess,” he says fondly. “Well, so, what I wanted to ask is: will you come? I’d get you in for free, obviously.”
“Eddie, it’s a business—”
“That can afford me bringing a plus one,” he finishes with a wink. “Non-negotiable.”
“You want me to come? I’m not exactly heavy metal.” 
“Of course I want you to come, sweet thing. You’re my best friend and you’ve supported me from the start. I know it ain’t your scene, but you don’t have to stay the whole time! We’ll probably go eat afterwards and you can meet the others.”
“Others?” you ask.
“Yeah, well, since we got booked, we’ve been scoping out the place. We met this other band, Birds of Prey. The lead singer, Missy, she’s cool. Real Janis Joplin vibes, y’know?”
“Oh.” Missy. Of course Eddie had met a girl. You couldn't expect him to just not. Eddie’s a sweet guy. Funny. Handsome. Love of your life. Et cetera. 
“So you’ve met a lot of… girls?”
Eddie glances at you and shrugs.
“Some.”
“Like on dates?”
Shutupshutup. Eddie’s too clever for you to be asking direct questions like that. You might as well hang a neon sign around your neck that says jealous!
He laughs. 
“I’m really not the kinda guy people go on dates with, angel.”
Which is not true. At all. If you can figure out Eddie’s a winner, any girl with a half a brain can do the same. But you don’t tell him that, because you’re selfish and pathetic. 
“I want to go,” you say instead. 
Eddie lights up. “Great! Oh, awesome. It’ll be a bitchin' show, promise.”
“I don’t doubt it.” 
Eddie seeks out your hand, rubbing your knuckles. You smile despite the acute feeling you’re sealing your doom. 
Tumblr media
Friday comes fast. You spend most of your time before Eddie's show agonizing over why you love tormenting yourself. Then he rings you up and asks if you'll come over for a pre-show soiree. And because you're a sucker for Eddie Munson, you say yes. 
You've been to the trailer before. It's not strange at all for you to be here. Wayne knows you well. But for some reason, this feels different. When you saw Eddie everyday, you could pretend. His constant proximity was normal then. Now, after three months apart, you're a lovesick calf. It's just like when you'd first realized your crush on Eddie back in freshman year. You'd been an absolute mess and it'd nearly cost your friendship.
You've sworn not to make that mistake again. 
Eddie’s room currently looks like a tornado ran through it. Clothes are strewn everywhere. You dodge a flying bandana from your place on the bed as he continues to rifle through his closet.
"Eds," you sigh. "Does it really matter what you wear?" 
"Of course! It's a statement."
"But the whole point of metal is to not care," you say. “Come back so I can do your other hand.”
Eddie obeys. He kneels one leg on the bed and sticks his unpainted hand out. He’s got a bit of black kohl around his eyes and brand new spiked boots. You make sure not to look at his face for too long so you don’t do something really stupid. 
You laser in on Eddie's fingernails, carefully painting them with black nail polish. He holds his breath every time you get close, still as a statue. 
"Actually, the point of metal is to protest societal structures you don't agree with, like the government,” he says. “Metalheads definitely care if you're not dressed for a concert."
“But I thought everything in your wardrobe is metal.”
“Yeah, but—” Eddie gestures to his Metallica tank top. “This isn’t concert metal. I have a reputation, y’know.”
“Well, I’m not dressed for a Corroded Coffin concert either,” you reason. “I don’t own anything metal.”
You’d tried, for the record. You'd found a charcoal gray sweater and black tights. That’s about as close to metal as you can manage.
“That’s okay, princess. You’re so pretty, you don’t need to wear proper attire. I, on the other hand, need to look like I eat souls for breakfast.”
You cap the polish. Eddie thinks you're pretty.
“Okay, done. Don’t smear it.”
Eddie wiggles his fingers with a grin.
“You’re a doll. What if I pair this with my jacket? Or wait! What about my torn black jeans?"
Eddie gets up, hands poised delicately. He stops at his closet and pouts. 
"I'll ruin your hard work," he frowns. "D'you mind helping me look mean and scary?"
You get up with a smile. 
"Impossible. You could never be mean and scary."
"Way to crush a guy's dreams, princess."
You shrug. "Somebody has to tell you."
You gently push through Eddie’s “clean pile.” You pick up a leather jacket and a torn sleeveless top that says Devil’s Advocate.
“What about this one? You look nice in this one,” you say, holding it up to him.
“Nice? I can’t look nice! I’m not going to prom, Y/N.”
You sigh.
“Fine. You look mean and scary. Straight from the Underworld. Satan himself. Better?”
Eddie shivers exaggeratedly, grinning.
“Getting me hot under the collar with that talk, princess.”
“Shut it,” you huff, throwing the jacket at him to hide your fluster.
Eddie squawks, dodging the jacket. He wiggles his fingers.
“They’re drying!”
“I’m pretty sure they’re dry now, Eds.”
“We really can’t be so sure, can we?” 
You get up with a sigh. 
“I am not taking your shirt off, Eddie.”
“Well, ouch, princess.” 
He shrugs and in a second, pulls his shirt off. You immediately turn, looking up at the ceiling.
“Jeez,” Eddie says behind you. “‘M not gonna blind you. They show male chests on MTV, y’know.”
“I’m giving you privacy,” you say, face hot. “Now hurry up. You don’t wanna be late.”
You peek, just for a second, and catch a glimpse of pale, freckled skin and a line of hair that disappears under his jeans. Nope, nope. You are not going down that rabbit hole of thought.
“Can you at least help with the jacket?” he asks.
“I suppose.”
You take the jacket and bring it behind him. Eddie sticks his arms through, never breaking eye contact.
“Good?” you check.
“Perfect, sweet thing.”
You frown at the jeans he’s chosen.
“Eddie, those have holes.”
“Yes, dear, I know. I made ‘em.”
“It’s November! You can’t wear clothing with holes.”
Eddie beams, eyes scrunching. You cross your arms.
“What?”
“Nothin’,” he says. “‘S just nice you care so much ‘bout me not getting sick. You really are a sweet thing.”
“Well, I don’t want you to be sick over my visit.”
“Purely selfish reasons, huh? Tsk tsk.” Eddie shakes his head.
“No! I just—wanna spend time together,” you say. “And we can’t do that if you’re sick.”
“Alright, alright. What if I wear my lightly torn jeans? ‘S that fair?”
Eddie steps away from you, beginning to undo his belt. You panic.
“Uh, yeah, yep! Fine! I’ll go start the car.”
You scurry down the hall and grab Eddie’s keys. You get into the van. By the time Eddie comes out, the car’s already warmed up. He wears jeans that have significantly less rips. Eddie puts his guitar in the back, then gets into the driver's seat. He smiles at you.
“Aw, look at you, keepin’ my seat warm.”
“Because you have the blood circulation of a vampire,” you reply with an eye roll.
“Vampire and the princess. Now there’s an underrated literary trope.”
Eddie looks at you a moment more. Then he seems to make a decision, sliding off the cross on his middle finger and putting it on your left ring finger. Your eyes widen.
“Eddie—”
“For luck,” he says.
“But… I’m not playing.”
“I know.” He shrugs. “But if I know you’re wearing my ring, well, I gotta make you proud. Don’t wanna be an embarrassment while you’ve got my ring on.”
“Oh, Eds. I am proud. You’re doing it.”
Eddie gives you the softest smile you’ve ever seen.
“Thanks, sweet thing.”
“You’re welcome. Now you really have to drive, Eddie. You’ve got a half an hour till your show starts.”
He checks his watch.
“Shit! Alright, hold onto something. We’re cutting this twenty minute trip down to ten.”
Eddie ends up making some questionable driving advances. Halfway through, you question if you should’ve gotten into the car with him. But you get there on time. 
Eddie ushers you out. 
“Eddie, just go, it’s okay. I can find my way inside.”
“Oh, absolutely not, princess. This crowd is rougher than The Hideout’s. Plus, I gotta get you in somehow. C’mon, pretty girl.”
Eddie keeps his guitar in one hand and you in the other. You’re practically glued to his side as he corrals you both to the back entrance. 
“Hey, Sal.” Eddie waves at the bouncer parked at the door. “Everybody’s inside?”
“Sure is. You’re on in ten. Better hurry.”
“Thanks. This is Y/N. She’s with me.” Eddie nods to you. 
“No guests, Munson,” Sal frowns. 
“Watch it, Sal,” Eddie pushes back. “She’s not a guest. She’s my girl. Came all the way from college to see me. Y’mind? We’re on a tight schedule.”
Sal looks at you. You hope he doesn’t ask questions; you have all the speaking ability of a fish right now. 
“Hmm. Fine. No tricks.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it,” Eddie grins, tugging you through the entrance.
“You lied to him,” you whisper when you’re far enough away. “Eddie—”
“Sweet thing, what was I supposed to say? Had to get you in. And I didn’t lie, okay? You did come from college and you are my girl. Only girl I’ve got, right?”
“But… you made it sound like we’re—”
“Dude!” Gareth hisses. “Where the fuck have you been?”
Eddie rolls his eyes.
“Chill, Gare-Bear. We’ve got time. Where’s Jeff?”
“Bathroom. Hi, Y/N.”
You wave shyly.
“Hey, Gareth. Cool chain.”
Gareth gives Eddie a look. You don’t know what it means, but whatever it does makes Eddie’s cheeks redden. He turns to you and squeezes your waist.
“I gotta go. Stay in the front so I can see you, ‘kay?”
“Why? Afraid I’ll run?”
“Nah,” he grins. “Just rather look at your pretty face instead of these ugly mugs.” 
“Hey!” Gareth huffs.
“Eddie…” you tut. “Be nice.”
“Not nice. Mean and scary.” 
He makes Devil horns with his fingers and sticks out his tongue. You giggle.
“See you after,” you say. “Good luck!”
And with that, you brave the crowd. Immediately, you feel out of place.
You’ve been to Eddie’s shows before at The Hideout. But this crowd is bigger and definitely a more intense scene than Hawkins. Most of the crowd is already drunk, or at least buzzed. They’re loud with excitement and unaware of their surroundings. You focus on not getting pummeled and on finding a seat up front like Eddie’d told you.
A group of girls push past you. The ringleader knocks into your shoulder and gives you a dirty look. She has long, dyed purple hair and black makeup. Her features are striking and perfect for the atmosphere. You wish you could fit in like she does, at least for Eddie’s performance. You’re starting to feel like you might be the embarrassment tonight.
“Watch it,” she snaps. 
“Sorry,” you mumble, and grab a seat.
Thankfully, nobody else bothers you. It’s only another minute before the lights dim. The first band is clearly very popular, judging by the howling cheers they get. Their frontman is covered head to toe in tattoos. You make a note of a green dragon inked on his neck. Eddie will like that one a lot. 
You do your best to match the energy in the room, despite not knowing many songs. Eddie’s played a few bands for you, but since metal isn’t really your thing, you’re lost when it comes to the less well-known bands.
After the opening act finishes, you see a curly head of hair poke out of the curtains. Eddie searches for you. You wave and he finds you then, giving you a big smile.
“Having fun?” he yells.
“Tons!” you shout back.
He gives you a thumbs-up and disappears backstage. The curtains part.
“And now, Birds of Prey!”
The group of girls who’d bumped into you step onstage. You clap lightly and stay seated. Their lead singer, the purple-haired woman, gets to the microphone. Missy. 
“You guys ready to hear some real music?” she laughs.
The crowd screams.
“Good!” 
They launch into Enter Sandman. Missy has a perfect voice for it, raw and raspy. You prefer Eddie’s voice, sweet and low. He always complains it’s not metal enough. You’re sympathetic but you secretly love that Eddie can croon, if he really wants to. Sometimes he does, when he’s had a beer or two and is sleepy with affection. Then he’ll sing along to Wayne’s Buddy Holly records. Your very own Eddie Munson exclusive.
Bird of Prey finish after a couple songs. You politely clap with the crowd. 
“And now, something fresh!” the emcee announces. “Corroded Coffin!”
You jump from your seat, clapping excitedly. The band comes out. Eddie dances around the stage, hyping up the crowd. They eat it up. Eddie’s born to perform.
His eyes find yours and he blows a kiss. You shake your head. After all these years, Eddie still flusters you better than anybody.
“Those ladies before us were pretty dope, huh?” Eddie asks the crowd.
They scream their agreement. He grins. 
“Hope you guys like Ozzy.”
Eddie is beautiful. He plays guitar like it’s an extension of himself. Everyone else is yelling to the lyrics, nearly drowning out the sound. You can only stand and stare. You probably look ridiculous gawking at them. But oh, well. You love Eddie Munson. If you look like a fool, so be it.
Jeff closes their performance. The crowd goes wild with applause.
You go backstage before the next band goes up; once the lights go down, it’ll be impossible to navigate the crowd. Backstage is thrumming with energy. You spot Birds of Prey first. Missy locks eyes with you. She struts to you, brow raised. You draw your shoulders back, braced for a fight.
“Princess!” 
Eddie drapes himself over you like it’s been years since you’ve seen him as opposed to forty-five minutes. You hug him back, tearing your gaze from Missy.
“Hi, Eds,” you say.
“Hi, sweet thing!” 
He squeezes you hard, curls tickling your cheek. Ah, yes. This is why you’re here.
“You were amazing,” you gush. “Really, really wonderful, Eds.”
Eddie looks like you’ve just told him he won ten million dollars.
“You really think so?” he asks. “Not just pumping my ego, are you?”
“No, Eddie. I loved it. Especially the Dio one.”
He grins.
“Oh, I know. Saw you dancing, pretty.”
“Stooop,” you whine. “Don’t make fun of me, Eds.”
“I’d never. You’re the best dancer there, angel.”
“Yo, Munson!”
One of the performers waves at Eddie.
“We’re heading out! C’mon.”
“Yeah, Eddie,” Missy coos. She looks at you. “Bring your friend too.”
Your stomach twists. Eddie turns to you.
“Hungry?”
“Oh, um… sure. Where are we going?”
“This burger joint. ‘S not far. I’ve been there loads of times.”
“With Missy?”
Eddie gives you a funny look.
“Sometimes her band comes. Wanna check it out?”
You don’t want to be a drag. Eddie is genuinely excited, hopped up on adrenaline. The rest of the band will be there too. It’s not fair to make him take you home.
“Okay,” you say, trying to smile. “Sure, Eds. Sounds great.”
Missy, luckily, takes another car. So it’s just you and Corroded Coffin in Eddie’s van. Jeff and Gareth chatter about the show and songs they should play next. You’re in the front seat, because Eddie always has you sit up front no matter who’s in the car.
“Eds?” you ask.
“Hm?”
“Are you, uh… h-how well do you know the bands that played tonight?”
Nice. Subtlety +100.
“The first guys who performed, Black Tar? Not that well. Their frontman, Beetle, he’s kind of a legend at Excalibur.”
“With the dragon tattoo?”
“That’s him. Staring at other guys’ tattoos, huh?”
“Actually, I was thinking the dragon would look much better on you, Eds.”
Eddie grins. 
“Yeah?”
“Mmhm.” 
“I have been thinking of getting a new one. You haven’t chosen a tat for me since freshman year. High time we continue the tradition.”
“I think a blue dragon would look cool,” you say. “On your back or something.”
“My back? But then no one would see it, sweet thing.”
“I’d know it’s there.”
Eddie laughs.
“Would you come with me to get it?”
“Of course,” you say. “I always do. Even when you got your bats from that skeevy guy at The Hideout.”
“Now Bill was a nice dude and dirt cheap. ‘Sides, my arm didn’t turn green, did it?”
“Thank God,” you huff.
“Always worrying about me, sweet thing.”
“Somebody’s gotta make sure you don’t wreak havoc on unsuspecting Hawkins.”
Eddie pulls into the parking lot of Brey’s Beef. Big deals on big beef! the sign reads. Your chest tightens at the sight of Missy and her band inside. Eddie reaches for your hand and squeezes.
“Ready?”
“Yeah, yeah. Ready.”
Eddie opens your door and you curse how sweet he is and how in love you are. 
Brey’s is a tiny burger shop that looks like it time-traveled here from the 50s. You go with Eddie to the counter and study the menu boards while you wait in line.
“Their milkshakes are to die for,” Eddie whispers in your ear. 
“To die for, huh? Munson approved?”
“One hundred percent.”
You order a cheeseburger and a strawberry milkshake. Eddie orders an ungodly creation called The Demon and a mint chocolate milkshake. You make a face.
“Hope you like your toothpaste shake,” you snort.
“Mint chocolate is superior,” Eddie shoots back and pulls out his wallet.
“Eds, wait—”
“No, no,” he says, pushing your coin purse aside. “I’m paying.”
“Eddie, no, c’mon…”
“Who got paid tonight?” Eddie asks, shaking his wallet. “Lemme treat you, princess. ‘S not like I get to do it much this year.”
Eddie pays and scoots you to the condiment counter. You sigh, shoving your coin purse back in your coat.
“Eds, I would’ve paid. You should save that money.”
“‘S okay, sweet thing. You’re worth it.”
God, how can he just say those things? He has to know what they do to you, doesn’t he?
“I’ll wait for the food, ‘kay? You can sit down.”
You glance at where the others are and try to hide your grimace. 
“Okay, Eds. Thanks.”
You take the seat at the end of the table. Missy and her band are in the middle, heavily flirting with the Black Tar members. As soon as she spots you, she stops. Her smile doesn’t reach her eyes.
“So,” she says. “This is the famous Hawkins Princess I’ve heard so much about.”
“Just Y/N is fine,” you mumble.
She laughs and tosses her hair over her shoulder.
“Didn’t know Eddie hung out with your sort.”
“My sort?”
“Y’know.” She gestures. “Normie. Uptight. Did you even know any of the songs tonight?”
“Some of them. Eddie’s played Dio and Sabbath for me.” You turn to Beetle. “Your opening number was a really cool cover. Judas Priest, right?”
Beetle winks at you. “Hell yeah it was. Thanks, Hawkins.”
Missy sneers.
“Well, you know how to pretend, I’ll give you that. I’m surprised, though.” She turns to her friend. “Remember when that one townie wandered in? How embarrassing.”
Her friend giggles. 
“Oh, yeah. He was so jumpy too. God, what a freak.”
The word makes you feel sick.
“Eddie thought it was hilarious too,” Missy adds. She looks at you. “I guess metal’s not for everyone.”
“Lay off, Miss,” Beetle says. “Don’t be an ass.”
“I’m not!” she squeals. “I’m just saying, y’know, people should stay in their lane.”
“Eddie says metal is for everybody,” you say, stronger than you feel.
“Of course he’d tell you that,” she scoffs. “And then you’ll go back to college for six months and he’ll forget all about you. Eddie’s not gonna want somebody holding him down, duchess.”
And that does it. You can’t take anymore. You’ll apologize to Eddie in the morning for walking out but right now, you’re tired. If this is the girl Eddie wants, you won’t fight. 
Missy whines after you, syrupy venom sinking into your brain. 
“Running already, queenie?” she mocks.
Eddie told you once there’s no shame in running. He said taking shit isn’t heroic. If you can, leave. So you do.
It’s windy and freezing. You know it has to be midnight at least. November nights in Hawkins aren’t known to be mild. You pull your jacket tighter around your shoulders and walk down the sidewalk. Maybe you can hail a cab or something.
Something wet hits your cheek. You wipe away the tear. Another falls, then another.
“Y/N, angel? Wait up!”
Eddie catches your bicep, tugging you around to face him. Fuck. You’ve never been good at lying to Eddie. He can see right through you. You have to think of something. 
“Sweet thing, why are you crying?” Eddie pulls up his sleeve and brushes your tears. He looks devastated. “Princess, please don’t cry. Who did this? Tell me, I’ll make sure they don’t bother you again.”
And you can’t help it. The name falls out.
“Missy,” you gasp. 
Eddie’s immediately confused.
“Wh—Missy? She made you cry?”
You nod, sniffling pitifully. This is not how tonight should’ve gone. 
“What the fuck,” he snaps, and you flinch. This is it; this is where Eddie chews you out for starting drama with the girl of his dreams.
“Oh,” Eddie whispers, eyes wide. “No, no, ‘m sorry. Not mad at you, babe. Sorry, sorry. I just—fuckin’ cannot believe she made you cry. How shitty can you get?”
“I shouldn’t be crying,” you say. “I shouldn’t, it’s stupid, I just—”
“Hey, hey.” Eddie pulls you into a hug, rubs your back in slow circles. “Stop it. Don’t say it’s stupid. If it made you upset, it’s not stupid.”
“I know you like her,” you cry into his shoulder. “I don’t mean to ruin that, I—”
“Whoa, what? Sweet thing, Missy’s just another singer. We’re not betrothed or anything.”
“But you said—over the summer—”
“Yeah, we got to know each other. But she’s just part of the scene. And there’s a bajillion people like that. She’s nothing special, princess, no way. She definitely doesn’t hold a candle to you.”
“But she is metal. And I’m not. And I’m gonna go back to school soon and you’re gonna find somebody who knows all of Dio’s albums and plays Dungeons and isn’t scared of getting tattoos or piercings or—”
“Y/N,” Eddie says. “I don’t care about any of that. You could religiously listen to the Hot 100 like Harrington does, whatever. Doesn’t matter. Won’t change the fact that I’m crazy about you. Nobody’s got my heart but you.”
Eddie freezes. Slowly, you draw back to meet his gaze.
“You’re crazy about me?”
He gnaws the inside of his cheek, looking everywhere but you.
“I, uh… y-yeah. I am.”
You hold on tighter because it feels like Eddie might try to back up first so you won’t have to push him away.
“I’m crazy about you too,” you confess.
Eddie’s eyes go big as dinner plates.
“Me?”
“There’s never been anybody but you,” you inform with delight.
Eddie’s smile is sweet and a little bashful. He surges forward, hands landing on your hips. You put your arms around his neck.
“Kiss me, Eds?”
“Anything for you, sweet thing.”
Eddie is gentle. He moves his arms up, trying to block you from the wind chill. You play with the ends of his curls. It’s everything you’ve wanted since freshman year and more. Eddie’s warm and everywhere. You feel him smile against your lips.
“Told ya you’re my girl,” he murmurs.
You smile softly. 
“Sap.”
“Oh, I mean, uh—” Eddie clears his throat. “You’re my girl in a mean and scary way.”
“Very convincing.”
“Thanks, baby. Wanna get outta here?”
You frown at the windows. 
“I kinda wanted to try those Munson-approved burgers.”
“Oh! Shit, hold on.” 
He hands you the keys and runs inside. You turn on the van, cranking the heat to four. Eddie flits from the counter to the table. He says something to Missy she does not look happy about. You wiggle giddily in your seat.
Eddie returns shortly. You roll down the window so he can give you the food and shakes. Then he gets into the car, blowing hot air into his hands.
“I hope you didn’t start a fight with Missy,” you frown.
“I just told her to stay the hell away from us.” Eddie shrugs. “Turns out Beetle chewed her out plenty.”
“Seriously?”
“Oh, yeah. You made quite the impression.” Eddie grins and nudges you. “You’re more metal than me, sweet thing. Gareth and Jeff are getting a ride back with him.”
You grimace. 
“I guess they weren’t too happy about us ditching them.”
“Nah, they were understanding. Told them I wanted to take my girlfriend home.”
You laugh, warmth flooding you.
“Oh, really. And what did they say to that?”
Eddie grins.
“‘It’s about damn time.’”

— summary : frozen yogurt dates with peter
— pairings : tasm!peter parker x gn!reader
— word count : 0,6k
— warnings : fluff, pet names, the normal cheesy first dates, peter and reader being awkward and cute, holding hands, messy plot, not proofread, lmk if i missed any !!
a/n : more fluffy peter blurbs because i may or may not have an angsty idea for him soon wink wink ;) this blurb is so random but i've been craving frozen yogurt so i thought this would be cute.
Tumblr media
you grab onto your leather jacket as you see peter from across the street right next to the frozen yogurt store.
"hi." you smiled.
peter's eyes immediately lit up as he saw your smile, "hey." he smiled back.
"you look pretty nice." he says, fumbling his words — "wait- not pretty nice i mean you do i-" he pauses sighing as he couldn't find the right words, "you look pretty, and nice. really pretty and really nice."
the skies turn pink as your face does the same. "you look really pretty and nice too." you nodded.
"oh! these are for you bye the way." peter pulled a flower bouquet from his bag, a bit crumbled. "aw they're lovely." you commented as a petal fell, "they were nice."
"i'd say they held up pretty well, you got my favorite colors there too." you added.
"i'll get you new ones, that don't have missing petals on each flower." peter smiles, putting the flower back in his bag.
"well, let's get some frozen yogurt now." you say, gesturing towards the store.
peter bought you some frozen yogurt and you two talked for a while, walking towards a park as the sun begins to set.
you got to know eachother, his interests, your interests, favorite colors, food, music taste, and much much more.
you've always admired peter from afar in your class. he always stood out to you, his sarcastic humor, his well written character, the way his hair is always so perfect everyday.
he's always nice too, standing up for you that one time flash made a comment about your art studies.
but you've always just seen him as a small crush, too afraid to make any moves. until you found a note from peter in your locker, asking if you wanna hang out sometime.
you've worked with him in projects before, but you've never had an actual conversation and interaction with him.
you're nervous yes, but peter is just that type of person that you could easily talk to, like talking to an old friend you haven't seen in a while.
"you wanna try it? it's really good!" you offered, "no it's fine you go enjoy it." he nodded still smiling at you.
"it's really good, pete," — "really, try it!" you offered again as he accepts it.
"see?" you look at peter as he furrows his brows. "not a fan?" you pout.
"sour." peter states, "it's yogurt peter, say it with me, yo-gurt." you smiled.
"i mean if you like it i can learn to like it too." he shrugs his shoulder.
you smile at his sentence as you arrive at the park with peter.
you finish your frozen yogurt, sitting next to peter at the bench, getting the best view of the sunset.
you rub your hands on your jacket, warming up your hands from the cold treat you just had.
"you cold?" peter asked, "oh, no, just my hands." you reply as he looked down on your hands before gently holding it.
he looked every where else other than you, avoiding the awkwardness of eye contact.
"that is literally so cheesy." you smile, holding his hand back. "cheesy?" he laughs — "it's sweet, but cheesy." you stated.
you continued your afternoon walking around the busy streets of new york before peter walks you back home.
"tonight was really nice y/n." — "i had an amazing time with you, really." continued, "it was really nice spending time with you peter, i really enjoyed it." you wave.
"i'll see you tomorrow?" he says, referring to school. "mhm, bye pete." you wave goodbye as he skipped away.

Strange Leather Bar Swap
Today's my 21st birthday and you know what that means! I'm finally able to take my first sip of alcohol…well legally anyway! But I didn't want to go to just any gay bar, I wanted to go to a leather bar in the city! I'm a leather fetishist for sure, even though I don't own any real gear. The only leather item I own is a jacket I got at a thrift shop awhile back. I want to buy better gear, but it's not the best idea since I'm still closeted to my judgmental family in the small town I live in. I do have a car and license though, so I'm happy to be able to escape all that when I need to.
Tumblr media
I drove to the nearest city to find the leather bar, a super tall building that you could see from the distance. I've always wondered why it was so tall; it had to be at least 5 stories! If it's just a bar, it shouldn't have more than two floors though right? I was about to solve the mystery because, proudly wearing my leather jacket, I walked up to the bouncer at the door.
"Hey kid, can I see some ID please?" I was a little intimidated, but knowing that I am in fact old enough, I was reassured. I proudly presented the ID to the bouncer. He gave one long look at it, then beamed at me.
"Hey, happy birthday kid! Hope your first legal's good."
"Thanks!" He opened the door for me.
"Enjoy Swap Night too! It's really fun."
"Oh…yeah I will!" I had no idea what Swap Night was, but it must be some kind of event.
Walking in was amazing. Everywhere I looked, there were hot leather guys in all shapes and sizes, with the fresh scent of leather in the air. I felt a little awkward though. Not only am I the youngest one there, but lots of guys were wearing kinky fetish gear too. When it wasn't a BLUF type uniform, it was harnesses and jockstraps. I really wish I owned their gear!
Walking through the crowd of sweaty leather men, I arrived at the bar. I sat on the stool and the bartender came over.
"What'll it be kid?
"Hmm." I'm not really sure actually. Thankfully he seemed to have read my mind.
"I get you, it's your first time right? Simple margarita it is."
"Sure." As he poured, he made eye contact with me.
"So, you excited for Swap Night? Should be starting pretty soon."
"Er, what exactly is it anyway? I didn't know about this."
"It's a whole lotta fun. Everyone in the bar swaps bodies with a partner."
"Really? Body swapping? That's so cool! Do you get to choose who?"
"Unfortunately not, it's random. But you do get to choose who to fuck!"
"Wait you can fuck?"
"Yep! It's an amazing experience."
"That sounds so cool! How do I sign up?"
"Over there." He pointed at the nearby table that had a stack of papers on it, along with a box. "Just sign there and put it in the box."
"Alright!” I finished my margarita, paid, and quickly headed over to the table. I filled out my information, signed the paper, and placed it in the box. A few minutes later a really hot guy walked onto the stage and took a microphone. He was wearing a leather jacket over a harness, along with a pair of chaps over his leather briefs. I swear he looked directly at me. I really hope I'm able to swap with him - or at least someone as hot as him!
Tumblr media
"Hey all you leather men! It's time for Swap Night!" The crowd cheered. "Now if you just walk through that door, you'll find a bulletin board with a room number listed next to your name. In these rooms, you'll find the body swapping helmets. Put 'em on, wait until everyone's ready, and boom! New body! Now if you wanna fuck, there are plenty of playrooms to have some fun in, as well. You'll be body swapped until midnight, so when the clock strikes twelve, you'll automatically be put back in your original bodies. Any questions?"
Nobody had questions so we headed over through the door. We all crowded around trying to look for our names and I found mine - Room 503. The map on the wall nearby indicated that 503 was on the 5th floor so I walked in the elevator, standing behind a few other guys. The smell of leather and sweat filled the air and I could feel myself getting hard.
I reached the floor, found my room, and walked in. It was about the size of a typical hotel room but without furniture. There was a large window in the back. Looking through, I could see a good portion of the city. I turned to my left and saw the helmet sitting on a small side table, so I grabbed it, pushed the only button on it, and placed it on my head. Nothing happened at first but after about a minute, it started lighting up, and making buzzing noises. A blinding flash of light hit me in the face and when I opened my eyes, I was in another room.
I looked down to see my new body, excited to be swapped with a hot guy, but was met with a surprise. I was wearing a leather shirt with light blue stripes down the side, but it was bulging out in a ball shape. The blue tie I was wearing highlighted the curve even more, by arching over a shiny black balloon. I have a fucking ball gut! I poked it with my newly gloved hands, to prove it was real and…it was real all right! I grabbed it with both hands and shook it up and down, feeling vibrations throughout my body.
I'm fat! I've never been fat before, not even a little bit! At least I'm wearing leather gear. I took one hand and put it up to my nose to smell the glove. It was fucking amazing…the leather scent made me go stiff immediately. I couldn’t even see my own dick past the gut, but I sure could feel it! As I held the glove closer, I noticed my face felt a little fuzzy. I brushed under my nose and felt some facial hair. Oh god, I have a mustache! I looked around to find a mirror and saw one on the wall.
Tumblr media
I looked at my reflection and was shocked at the sight. I'm not only fat, I'm old! I inspected my face closely, touching the mustache that spread across my face in an arch shape. This is weird but incredible! I’ve never been able to grow more than peach fuzz before and now I have a whole damn mustache! I had wrinkles under my eyes, on my forehead, and under my chin…actually no. That's a double chin! Even though I was grossed out, I started playing with it, pinching both my chins and neck. It was surreal.
I can't believe out of all the hot leather men I saw, I had to end up in the body of some fat old guy! Is this really supposed to be random? I couldn't have had worse luck! I've always wanted to own new gear but not like this! I turned to the side, staring at my new belly and holding it, jiggling it slightly as I grimaced at how far it stuck out. The leather shirt hugged it tightly in a way that no matter how much I tried to suck it in, it was still obvious. I took a moment to check out my entire leathered up body. In the mirror I could finally see the leather pants and boots I was wearing, along with a muir cap on top of my head.
So is this what it feels like wearing full gear? It really hugs my body…though maybe that's because I'm so big. I started to feel stiff, but this time, I think I was turned on by my body instead of the leather. That's funny though. I'm usually into younger to mid age fit guys, not silver daddies and bears, even if they're in leather. There's no ignoring the horny urges, though. I may not be able to see my dick but I can feel it! Maybe the body swapping causes an increase in sex drive? Well, whatever it is, I can't wait to try out this senior bod on some other guy…

hi can you 55. “he won’t stop talking about you” with mat barzal?
Tumblr media
“meeting the team”
mathew barzal x reader
ps: let’s imagine that tito is still on the isles in this!! also not proof read so sorry if there’s mistakes
moving to new york was easily the best decision you’ve ever made. within two weeks of living here you met your boyfriend mat, whom you’ve been dating for a little over a month, at small coffee shop around the corner from your apartment, which is on the opposite corner of his apartment. mat is a professional hockey player, which came as a shock to your parents when you first told them about him.
“mat, why have i never met your teammates yet?” you ask him, as you stretch out your legs across his, which are laying horizontally to you.
“oh, honestly i haven’t even really thought about that, the season only started a month ago. would you like to meet them?” he asks you, looking away from the tv to face towards you.
“of course i would! i’ve heard so much about all of them, especially tito. i’d love to meet him.”
“well, i can make that happen! i know you’ve only met two of the wives but i’ve heard they’re all dying to meet you. at practice tomorrow i’ll bring up having a team get together with the girlfriends and wives, how does that sound?” he smiles at you, making your heart swell.
“thank you mat, seriously. you’re the best,” you smile, sitting up and kissing his lips. you slide your legs off of mat’s, and rise off of the couch. you get yourself ready for bed, mat joining you in your bed shortly after.
“when you wake up i’ll be gone, but i think you already kind of new that” mat chuckles as you both get comfortable in the cold sheets. “yeah that’s what i expected, goodnight babe,” you yawn.
you’re at work when mat calls you, which is concerning since he knows your work hours. luckily you have your own large cubicle off to the farther end of the office, so answering your phone isn’t a major issue. “hello? everything okay?” you ask mat through the phone.
“hi babe, sorry for calling during work hours but we just got out of practice. i talked to the guys and i think we’re all going to dinner tonight, you down?” mat says. you hear in the background the sound of an elevator, meaning he’s back at his apartment.
“of course! i get off work in two-ish hours so i’ll go straight to my apartment and get ready.” you say, checking the time on the upper left corner of your phone. “sounds like a plan! i’ll pick you up at 7, love you babe!” he says before ending the call.
as you finish putting in your gold hoop earrings, you receive a text from mat letting you know he’s outside. you scurry out of your apartment, checking your lipstick in the mirror on the way out. once outside at ground level, you spot mathew’s silver bmw. as you open the door you get a whiff of his cologne, making you smile at the familiar scent you’re always craving.
“holy, y/n woah, you look amazing. trying to impress someone?” he jokes as he begins driving away from the building.
“oh stop it. i didn’t know if i was dressed to casual or not, am i?” you say gesturing to your black jeans, white turtle neck with a black leather jacket atop.
“no not at all, you’re dressed perfectly. i promise you have absolutely nothing to worry about, they’re gonna love you.” he takes his hand off of the wheel and interlaces his fingers with yours. you guys arrive at the restaurant not too long after, and get taken to a large table with majority of the team and their wives or girlfriends.
“hi guys! everyone meet my girlfriend y/n!” mat smiles, pulling out the chair for you to sit in. you chuckle at his manners, and greet those at the table around you. across from you and mat is who you’ve been introduced to as anthony.
“anthony it’s nice meet you, mat literally never stops talking about you. it’s always ‘tito did this’ or ‘me and tito are going golfing today’ blah blah blah, no offense but it gets a little annoying. it feels like you’re a third in our relationship!” you chuckle, making anthony laugh as well.
“oh i could say the same for you, he won’t stop talking about you. oh god you should’ve heard him before you guys were dating, he was so nervous to ask you out it was like talking to an insecure teenager,” anthony laughs, making mat roll his eyes.
“oh be quiet. y/n don’t listen to him, he’s dragging this out.” mat groans. “me be quiet? you’re the one who never stops talking about y/n!” anthony grins at his own comment, making both you and mat chuckle.
“look what you did y/n, you made my best friend expose my secrets!” mat exclaims. “but mat, i thought you said that anthony was ‘dragging out’ how much you talk about me?” you smirk.
“okay well, maybe he wasn’t lying,” mat blushes, scratching the back of his neck shyly.
“yeah, exactly my point,” anthony says, rolling his eyes jokingly. the rest of the night is tons of fun, getting to know the other wags, and even the other teammates. needless to say, you love mats teammates and will definitely be attending more ‘team bonding’ events.

I walk out of the bathroom to see y/n wearing this dark red dress. "Wow..." I say under my breath. She looks at me. "To much?" I smile. "no you look just as beautiful as the day i met you"
She smiles. "thank you Mister Evans" She kisses me lightly the i say as she grabs her phone. "You're welcome Misses Evans" We walk to the car that is waiting for us and i help her in and then i get in by her. "theater please"

I watch you smile as you say. "um i don't think it changes much but I do know that being known as his wife i'll have to get used to people coming up and asking if i am THE Y/N Evans!"
I can't help but stare at you, your hair, your smile everything is making me so happy and seeing you happy makes me happy. We end the night and head back home. "ah what a night" i say as i take my jacket off and hang it up. I look over at you slipping your heels off. "you alright love?"

Stalker Hayden ⚠️
I was inspired by the amazing @xzaddyzanakinx please be sure to go check out their writing, it’s incredible!!
Warning: 18+, being stalked, swearing, smut (getting watched while masterbating, p in v penetration, hand job, slight edging, cream pie, slightly sub Hayden, slight oral (m receiving) - I think that’s all
Not proofread - I was going back and forth adding more between diary entries and y/n pov, and I’m hoping that it’s in order and makes sense.
Word count: 6.9k
Enjoy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/n pov
17th February
You have been living in New York for about 6 months now, working at a cafe. And it wasn’t the greatest job but it kept you going financially. You would have days where customers would come in to get there usual, and other customers would verbally abuse you because they didn’t get their coffee 2 minutes after they ordered at busiest time of day. But anyway there would always be people that would come and go, only recognising a few of the regulars.
But him! Oh him.
Hayden
He was perfect. The way he would tilt his head as he admired at you with a smirk. Making you not want to break eye contact. The way is soft lips moved when he talked. The way his voice made your knees weak. You wanted him bad.
You remember the first time you saw him. Oh my god. The way he smiled at you with such kindness and warmth and his deep voice left your ears ring, wanting to hear him speak more. He came into the cafe about a month after you started working there and you hadn’t stop thinking about him since. And every time his face would light up with a smile as soon as he saw you.
Though you didn’t know much about him, he’d only come in once a week to order from you. And some days being especially busy you didn’t have too much time to chat. You knew that he worked at as bartender a few streets away from where you live. He would almost always say that you should come over to the bar to say hi, but you were never able to work up the courage to actually go.
But today was different. You finally felt confident enough to go. You asked your friends Sam and Tara to tag along for support. They were so excited for especially because they had also been trying to convince you to got to the bar. They knew what knew about Hayden, you could not stop talking about that man. He was driving you insane.
As you got home from work you got ready to go out. You curled your hair and decided to keep it down. You did your makeup how you usually do when you go out. And then slipped on a mini tight black dress with a small slit, and a leather jacket to go with it. As well as some black dr martens. Wearing a lacy red matching lingerie set underneath.
Sam and Tara were waiting out in your living room waiting for you to finish getting ready. You walked out of your bedroom serving cunt. Their jaws dropped, when they saw how you look.
“Girl if you don’t get laid tonight, I will do the honours,” Tara claimed as she hyped you up.
“No seriously, she’s right.” Sam assured.
“Really.” You hesitated
“YES!” Both of them cheered
You all took off and headed to the bar. Your heart was racing. And your mind was running 100 miles an hour. You finally arrived at the bar and followed your friends in.
There he was. Holy fuck.
He was wiping a glass with a towel, and how his hand was going in and out of that wet glass made your knees weak. Oh how you wished you were that glass. But your thoughts were interrupted by Tara pulling your arm and taking you to the bar. You all sat down and Hayden looked up at you and smiled. “I thought you’d never come.”
It took a second to process what he had said. “I’d come for you anytime.”
Your friends snickered quietly. Realising what you said, you felt a bit flustered, but I was true. He smirked
“So what can I get you guys to start.”
“What do you recommend?”
“I can do good sex on the beach, if you’d like.”
“Yes please” You lightly whimpered.
Another smirk revealed on his face as he lightly chuckled.
“And what about you two.”
“I’ll just have a Diet Coke please, I’m designated driver tonight.” Tara stated
“And I’ll have margarita please.” Sam said
“Alright, I’ll be back with your drinks in a minute.”
Hayden left to go make your drinks, when Tara and Sam turned to you.
“Holy shit, do you see the way he looks at you. You are definitely getting that dick tonight.” Tara said
“Shh, what if he hears.”
“Oh please he wants you bad.”
“Yea there’s no way that man hasn’t got a thing for you.” Sam ensures
A minute later Hayden comes back with the three drinks.
“Alright here you are.”
“Thank you.”
“So what made you decide to come visit tonight.” Hayden asks
Sam grabs Tara’s arm and drags her away so you and Hayden can talk.
“Uhm, I just wanted to see you. So maybe we could get to know eachother better”
“Well you came in on the perfect night, it’s not too busy.”
You blushed at the lustful eye contact you held with him.
“I’m glad to see you here princess” he smirked
A couple hours later
Time had flown by as you two had been talking for over two hours now, things just really seemed to click between you two. You got to know him, and he got to know you. He actually asked you questions about you, instead of just blabbering on about all the stuff he likes to do, unlike all the other guys you had met. Hayden actually seemed like he wanted to get to know you better. Suddenly Tara taps on your shoulder.
“Umm, hey I don’t mean to bother you but Sam is currently in the bathroom puking.”
“Oh fuck, ok well we should get him home soon.”
You looked up at Hayden and he smiled.
“I’m sorry we should take him home, he gets pretty out of hand when he’s drunk.” You murmured
“It’s okay, no need to apologise. Not a lot of people would care for their friends like you do.”
You smiled at him and said “well thank you so much for drinks they were so good. We’ll have to do this again someday.”
“Yea definitely…” he said before Tara interrupts.
“Y/n” Tara yells
You look over to see that Sam is on the bathroom floor screaming that he wants to nap.
“Oh shit, I better get going.”
“Alright, well I’ll see you next week.”
“Alright, can’t wait.” You said excitedly
You paid for the drinks and went to get Sam out of the toilets, when he comes busting out the doors yelling “I-I’m fine guys… really.”
“No come on, we gotta get you home.” Tara says while trying to help him stand up straight
“Ugh, but y/n hasn’t got that dick tonight.” Sam yells pointing in Hayden’s direction.
Red flushes over your face as you turn to Hayden. He tilts his head in your direction chuckling with a mischievous smirk. You got nervous and ran over to Sam to help him up.
“Alright time to go” you reinforce.
You smile at Hayden while exiting the bar. “Bye.” You whisper. He gently waves goodbye to you as you leave.
Tara drops you off and lets you know that she’s gonna stay the night at Sam’s so she knows he not choking on his own vomit.
You walk into your apartment and set your bag on the kitchen counter, and taking off your boots and chucking them on your bedroom floor. Taking off your jacket and dress to reveal the unseen lingerie you were hoping to get torn off you tonight.
You took a quick shower to freshen up before heading into bed. You wore nothing but crop top and underwear.
You stared at your roof and sighed when all of a sudden you hear a loud clank coming from across the street. You got up and opened your curtains to see what it was.
Is that?
No it couldn’t be?
Hayden?
Holy fuck!
What was he doing?
He looked up and you made eye contact for a split second and immediately knew it was him. You only got a glimpse of the shadowed figure before he disappeared behind a bush.
Is he watching me?
No don’t be ridiculous, he lives in this suburb he’s probably just walking home.
But…his house was in the opposite direction of yours from the bar.
Your heart dropped, this couldn’t be. Why was he here? You were so confused. Why didn’t he want you to see him?
You thought that you were overthinking and that it is probably just your imagination and that it’s probably just someone who looks like Hayden. Maybe it was one of your neighbours and you thought it was Hayden because that’s what you were hoping.
You closed your curtains and tried to go to sleep. Still thinking about who that was. But the thought of it being Hayden turned you on, you slipped you hands down your panties and toyed your clit while thinking about him.
Hayden’s Diary Entry
February 17th
What a surprise. You actually came to the bar today. I didn’t think you would actually come, especially since you have been saying that you would for so long and never did.
Unless that was just part of your plan to get me all riled up and make your appearance at the bar unexpected.
My darling I’ve been watching you making sure that you are safe. I walk you to and from work everyday. And you are so oblivious. It’s been nearly five months since I first saw you, and nearly four since I’ve kept my eye on you. Making sure that when you are walking home late at night no one is following you. On days that I’m working and can’t walk you home I ensure to keep checking my phone to see where you are. I have your location 24/7 in the palm of my hands. I need to know that you are safe because I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if anything happened to you.
I want you. No… I need you!
I crave your touch and love. I want to make you feel good. I want to make you laugh, I want to be there for you when you cry, and I want to make you cum so fucking hard.
But tonight…fuck. That tight dress had me weak. I could see that you were planning on getting something from me, when you leaned over and I could see the top of a lace bra. I would have taken it off with my teeth if you let me. Everything you told me tonight. I already knew. My sweet girl, I love you too much not to know about your life. And then when your friend yelled that snarky comment, I knew for sure that you wanted me.
I got off my shift half an hour after you left, so I came to your house to see what you were up to. Your curtains closed as usual, but the soft very soft shadows in your room gave me an idea of what you were doing.
As I went to my usual hiding spot, a fucking cat came out of know where and scared the shit out of me, I ended up tripping over and knocking a bin over. I got up to see you staring out your window at me I immediately hid when we made eye contact. Hoping that you didn’t see that it was me. I looked up from to see that you had gone back into bed and the curtains were closed.
But that light in your room allowed for a shadow on your curtains to show that you were playing with yourself. I could see your back arch and the sheets move swiftly. I knew you were thinking about me, with what you were wearing. I bet you were wearing a matching set of panties with that bra. So desperate for my touch.
But nothing will ever feel I good as I will make you feel. Not today but another day my love.

25th February
It had been about a week since your encounter with what you thought was a hallucination. You were coming home from work and were held back yet again, it was around 6:30 by the time you got to leave. The street lamps were lit up and the sky was dark. You walked home with your music blasting as usual fully unaware of your surroundings. You were too tired to care, usually you would be paranoid walking home and would just have music playing in one ear. But after a long day you couldn’t give a fuck.
As you got home and took a shower almost immediately to try and relieve your stress. But that didn’t work to great, so you put on your favourite show you binged watched too many times on your laptop and cuddled up in bed with your favourite hot beverage.
Several hours went by and it was now 12:00. You still didn’t feel a great deal of stress released, so you closed your laptop and grabbed your vibrator out of your draw next to your bed.
You slipped off your panties, turning on the vibrator and placing it against your clit. The pleasure vibrated through your whole body. You thought about Hayden. As if it was him telling you that you were so wet, while pressing the vibrator harder against your now throbbing clit. Telling you that you were a good girl, and that you were doing so well. Oh how the thought of his voice alone made you wanna come. After finally reaching your climax, you felt that the stress had been reduced significantly, but it wasn’t enough. If Hayden was actually there it would have been better.
After cleaning yourself up, you heard yet another noise coming from outside . You got up quickly to open the curtains. You look out the window trying to see if you can see anyone but no one was in sight. You head to bed curious yet again.
Is there someone watching me or am I going crazy?
You fell asleep, dreaming about Hayden touch.
Hayden’s diary entry
26th February
You scared me today baby.
I thought you would have seen me again. You looked out your window and looked disappointed when you didn’t see anyone. But I was right there. You couldn’t see me of course, I was hiding. Your eyes seemed desperate to see me.
The thing is I don’t want to startle you. I just want to protect you. This suburb isn’t exactly the safest in New York. But it is the best only because you’re in it.
I could see you toying yourself again, when I got closer to your window I could hear the gasps that left your mouth. And the shuttle moan of my name. I knew you were thinking l about me. I know how much you need me. But trust me I’m going to make all this waiting worth while.

March 1st
Hayden come in on his regular days to order his usual, but you were to anxious to ask him to hang out again.
It was just another day, you got off work on time and decided that you were going to the bar tonight. But Sam and Tara couldn’t stay, Sam got called into work and Tara had a family dinner. You asked Tara for a lift there and back. And to help you choose an outfit. She ended up picking a mini red dress that sat low on your chest, red heals and a necklace that fit perfectly between your breasts. You never usually wore heals and you wondered if it was too much. But she insisted.
Tara dropped you off and they were on her way, wishing you the best of luck. You entered the bar and it was fairly crowded. People playing pool, groups of girls doing shots and heaps of people in a group. Which was the first thing that enters your mind, you were at this crowed bar by yourself. You walked up to the bar where another bartender smiled at you.
“Hi.” You say shyly.
The bartender turns around
“Hi, can I get you a drink.”
“Umm, I was actually wondering if Hayden was here.”
“No sorry, he called in sick.”
“Oh”
“Did you want a drink?”
“No thank you, um I’ll probably just head out” You said awkwardly
“Well next time he’s in I’ll let him know you popped in. .”
“Ok thank you.”
You went to the bathroom to call Tara, but remembered that she was at the family dinner and she wouldn’t be able to come pick you up till at least 10:30 and it was only 8:02. Fuck it. You’ll just walk home. Yep walk home from a bar alone with a bunch of drunk men wondering around. Plus it was only a 55 minute walk. You had walked further before at night, but you were also with Sam and Tara when you did.
You left the bar and started heading home. You felt uneasy, you felt like you were being watched. You kept turning around to ensure you weren’t being followed. And in heels what if some was to run at you. You would trip just trying to take them off. You were now only a few blocks away from your apartment, it was the final stretch. When you suddenly hear light foot steps. You stop and look around, and the steps stop. Your heart drops and you immediately feel uncomfortable. You freeze not knowing what to do.
I need to get home now.
But what if they follow me home and then know where I live. And that I live alone.
Your hands began to shake. You took off your heels, and started walking home again. Your head was spinning and your heart was racing. Only two more blocks you said to yourself. You hurried towards your building and finally got to your door. Quickly going inside and locking the door behind you. You through your heels on the ground and ran into your bedroom slumping yourself onto the bed in relief that you were finally home. You texted Tara to let her know that she didn’t need to pick you up anymore as you were at home. You sat on your bed staring into nothingness for a few minutes before you heard a knock on your door. You strained your hands and they began to sweat as anxiety consumed you. Shit.
“Was someone actually following me?” You thought
You peeped your head from behind the curtain to see who was standing at your door. It was a tall man, you couldn’t seem to make out his face.
Another knock occurred, and you hear “y/n it’s Hayden.”
You sighed in relief, you got up and went to your door. He knocked again before it was interrupted by you opening the door. His tall figure stood over and he smiled.
“You left your purse at the bar.” He states as he holds up your purse.
You looked at him confused
“Wait I thought you weren’t there.”
“No I was I was just getting ready to leave, my shift had just finished. I’m guessing you asked one of the other boys where I was.”
“Yea?”
“Usually when we just finish our shift, we’ll just tell whoever is asking for us they we aren’t in or are sick so we don’t have to stay back longer” He chuckled
“That’s fair, I know how it is to have to stay back longer than scheduled.”
“But I would have stayed back for you.” He smirked “Any day.”
You smiled at his comment. And he hands you his purse and his hand lightly brushes against yours as you take it. Your face turned red like your dress.
“Wait. How did you know where I live?” You asked
“Drivers license.”
“Oh of course,” you laugh.
“Maybe one night we could get together and hang out.”
“Yea I’d love that, I’ll give you my number.”
“Ok.” He seductively whispered
“Let me get a pen.”
You quickly ran to the kitchen to grab a pen and turn around to see Hayden desperately looking you up and down. You slightly grabbed his hand and wrote your number on his palm.
“There you go.” You said tilting your head slightly.
“I better be on my way, I’ll make sure to text you.”
“Yea, ok” You smiled
“I’ll see you later alright.”
“Ok, bye.”
He left your door as he got to the foot path he turned around.
“You look beautiful in that dress by the way.”
You had your head leaning against the door frame and covered your smile with your hand, then waving him goodbye. He smiled and continued walking away from your house.
You then closed your door and locked it before jumping up and down and squealing. You placed your bag on your table and you ran straight to your room and grabbed your vibrator out of your draw and got straight to it.
Thinking about how Hayden would talk you through it, how he would edge you to make your orgasm feel even better. And how big and veiny his hands were, compared to your small hands. How he would be able to pin you down with one hand while his other played with your clit, all while he fucked you. After coming to your release you get out of bed to stretch your back.
You went for a quick shower to remove your make up and freshen up a bit. After getting changed you opened the curtains slightly to see a man’s silhouette in the bush. You immediately closed your curtains and got too scared to look again. Quickly jumping into bed covering yourself with the blanket, trying to go to sleep.
Hayden’s diary entry
1st March
You came to see me at work again, but of course I had finished early. But fuck… you looked so beautiful. The way your hair sat. The way the dress sat low on your perky breasts, and how it snatched your waist. And you wore it for me, I mean that’s why you came to the bar.
And I did follow not just because of your purse but because I needed to make sure you got home safe. I could tell you were nervous and I was going to go up to you to walk you home but I just loved watching that tiny dress ride up slightly every so often. Even when you were talking to me you were nervous, but I promise you don’t have to be nervous around me. I’ll always be here to comfort you.
And fuck I knew you were desperate when I came back to your window I could hear your soft whimpers and your vibrator. Couldn’t even wait five minutes after I left, I promise just my hand alone would be better. I know and you know it. The desperation in your voice when you speak to me is so loud. Yet your voice is so soft. When you tell me you want me, will be the day that I give it to you.
Sit on my face, devour your pussy, finger you, fuck you from behind, sideways, standing up. Anyway and anytime. I’ll make your legs shake they never before. I’ll have you begging for more, I’ll have you come so hard. That’s a promise my princess.
No one will ever love you the way that I do.

March 9th
You hadn’t heard anything from Hayden, except for when he came into your work. But you were expecting a text to ask you out.
Fuck what if I wrote the wrong number down.
What if he’s out in the wrong phone number
Maybe it rubbed off before he got home
You needed to stop overthinking, you laid in bed after calling Tara and Sam to tell them what happened. You guys had been so busy that you hadn’t had time to catch up in person. After the call ended you put on your favourite show again. You stayed up in bed for a few hours. But you had this feeling like someone was watching you. You kept getting up to look out your window to see if anyone was there. From what you could see no one was in sight. Until about the 7th time you checked your window you see a man sitting behind the bush across the street. His head pops up and.. wait Hayden?
You couldn’t believe it. You rubbed your eyes to ensure that what you were seeing was actually him or if you were just hallucinating. But it was him at sat across the street with a cigarette between his lips. He looks over at your window and immediately ducks down as he’s realised that you’ve seen him. But he didn’t run, you opened your curtains completely you made it seem as if you were looking for something else outside your window, as if you didn’t just catch him. You popped backed into bed trying not to glance over. He was still watching you, you could feel it.
Well if he was watching you, then why not give him something to watch maybe he was as desperate for you as you are for him. I mean your curtains were almost always closed. You didn’t even think to ask any questions about the fact that he was just across the street watching you. It made you feel released that you weren’t just going crazy. The thought of him watching you touching yourself, made you wetter. The lighting was dull, but still put on a show for him, while trying not to glance across the street.
Hayden’s Diary entry
9th March
I thought you saw me for second. You scared the shit of me. I guess that you thought you heard something again. You looked yet again disappointed to not see anyone, more specifically me when you gazed out your window.
I looked up to see that you had gone back into bed, but the curtains were open and the room was dull, but I could see your face and white sheets. You got back into bed and I saw your hands slowly remove your panties.
Were you? You were playing with yourself, with the curtains open. The light from the lamp across the street lit up your face slightly, I was able to make out your facial expression, I could see the lust and desperation in the way your mouth moved. I could feel my cock twitch when your back arched and when you got up and rode your pillow, pretending that it was me. Weren’t you?
I want to be the one to make you feel pleasure in way you’ve never felt. Seeing you like this did something to me. It felt so wrong I wanted to give you privacy. But you opened your curtains and then started playing with yourself you were basically asking me to stay. But not to long know before I’ll have you.

2nd April
Silly girl. You keeps leaving her curtains open. My darling y/n. What if someone was to walk past and see. You have no problem playing with yourself for everyone to see. That’s why I am here standing across the street from you making sure no creep is perving in you. Your legs spread with your hand between your thighs, wearing only a bra. I can see the blankets move softly as small gasps exit your mouth. Your legs spread with your hand between your thighs, wearing only a bra. Craving that release. But I promise you princess if those were my hands down there you would be a moaning mess, begging me not to stop.
I could give you the release you need, I would make you cum so hard, that your eyes would roll back as far as they could. I would make your swollen clip so sensitive that your legs would shake. Look at you, hands down your panties softly rubbing your clit in a circular motion for the world to see, but you’re mine. The things I would do to you, I would make you feel so good princess.
Hayden’s diary entry
April 20th
You got held up at work again, and we’re late to arriving at home. So I made sure to stay back and wait so I could make sure you got home safe again. I followed from a distance as usual, but didn’t have a care in the world. Just blasting your music through your headphones and not even looking around once. You don’t know how many sickos are out there, you need to be more careful.
But that’s why I am here. I can see you had a hard day, slumping your bag on the counter as soon as you got home. Your bedroom curtains were closed as they usually were throughout the day. I could see you looked tired. You opened your curtains after your shower and I see you. Just standing there staring out the window. God, look at you, hair damp, water glistening on your chest and only wearing a towel. Your lips slightly parted and eyes looked lustfully across the street.
Only if you had taken it off right then-
But you did.
You just dropped your towel. Revealing everything. What if someone was watching. I would have to do something about that. But seeing you like this made me feel full of adrenaline,I wanted to run over to your house and have your begging for my cock.
Did you want someone to see, or are you just hoping that just so happens that I come over and fuck you senseless to make you feel better?
Fuck. Everything about you makes me so fucking hard. I crave your body and seeing you like this made me want you more. You only stayed for a few seconds, before turning around and turning off your light. The room was dull but I could still see your blanket move swiftly, you were desperate.

April 24th
You knew. You knew he could see you. He had been doing it for about 2 months. At least that I know of. I make sure he’s there. Watching you when you play with myself. Sometimes you would tease him and just have the curtain open slightly, which is what you did most nights because you were scared someone else was going to see. You can’t stop thinking about him when you do it. You knew he was there when you dropped my towel. You wanted to see if you could see him but you got too nervous, you didn’t want to scare him off. But you’ve considering trying to confront him.
You still have our regular chats at each other’s work, and last week you even got drinks together again. You had gone out with him at least once a week since you gave him your phone number. And every time he would bring you flowers. The sexual tension, was killing you slowly, it was his eyes and the way he smiled at you, that made your stomach fill with butterflies. You still didn’t have the courage to ask him to actually come over to you’re house. You weren’t sure why though. I mean he’s literally seen you play with yourself. And you were becoming too desperate for his touch and wanted to do something about it. You wanted more than just the subtle hands brushes, like how he would caress your hands when he spoke to you. Or when he would tuck your hair behind your ear. You needed more.
Today after coming home from work it was late, got held up by some customers that decided to order 13 hot chocolates 3 minutes before we closed. Like where is the respect for fuck sake. Anyway I got home and showered, and waited for Hayden to show up.
Around 1:00 he showed up, which was later than usual. You looked at the window trying to avoid looking at where he was hiding. You were wearing a matching set of lacy black lingerie. You closed the curtains and dressed in a hoodie and some sweatpants and walked out of the house. Hayden’s figure quickly scurried down the street, as soon as you opened my front door. So you followed him.
You followed him for about a mile without him noticing, making sure to keep your distance and hide when he looked in your direction. You finally reached his apartment, where he entered his house in a hurry. While you hid behind a tree across the street. His apartment was the first floor making it easier to see in between the slightly opened curtains.
You could see slightly into his bedroom as it lights up, he enters pulling off his hoodie. You hurried across the road, and climb up to his window. And knock on it lightly. He jumps and opens the window to see me glaring into his eyes. He opens the window with a frightened look on his face.
“What are doing here.”
You enter his room as he helps you up. You stares at you with a blank face, unsure of what’s going on.
“I know what you’ve been doing” you whisper as you move closer to him.
“I don’t know what you’re taking about.” He hesitates
“Mmh, you sure?”
He stands closer to you, now towering over you looking down at you full of desire.
“What is it exactly you think I’ve been doing?”
“You’ve been watching me do some naughty things.”
He couldn’t help but smirk.
“What naughty things,” he teased as he lifts up your chin with his index finger as his stare softens and you feel your panties become wetter.
“You’ve been watching me play with myself while I thought about you, and you never even offered to help me. Because I know that I could fulfil your desires and you could fulfil mine.”
He tilts his head and lightly bit his lip. You pushed him onto the bed and slowly climbed onto his lap while running your fingers up his bare chest, sending shivers through his body.
“I haven’t stopped thinking about you ever since I first saw you.” You said as you took off your hoodie revealing your lace bra. You felt his half hard cock turn fully hard beneath you. His hands slowly moving up your thighs to your hips caressing your soft skin with his thumbs, rubbing them gently across your soft skin.
You slowly started grinding against his hard on in his pants. He gasped softly. You stopped momentarily and took off your sweatpants chucking them across the room. Leaning down to his ear and begun to unzip his jeans.
You whispered “I gonna make you feel so good.”
Before he had a chance to say anything you pulled down his pants, along with his boxers. Revealing his long, thick hard cock with pre cum resting in his tip. Shock flooded your face when you saw the size of it. Hayden smiled at your reaction. You went down and licked the pre cum of his cock, sucking the tip of his dick made it twitch, as your hand wrapped around the bottom slowly stoking as you teased his tip with your tongue. Small whimpers left his mouth, which made you hungry for his cock. But you wanted to tease him more than ever now that you had him.
You removed your mouth from his cock, and leaned back over to his ear. You licked your hand before bringing it down to his dick. Stroking ever so slowly. His chest now moving up and down from breathing so heavy. He caressed your body with his hands moving them from your hips to your tender breasts. The way his mouth slightly parted made you soaking wet.
“Tell me what you want.” You asked
“I want you.”
“You can do better than that.” You started stroking faster. Whimpers left his mouth. “Tell me what you want.”
“I want to fuck you so hard, I want you to cum on my cock and show how good I can make you feel” He spat out.
“Mmm, really.”
“Yes, i want to be inside you so fucking bad.”
You stopped stroking his dick and he moaned at the loss of your touch.
“Don’t stop.” He whimpered
“Why should I keep going.”
“B-because I want you so fucking bad please.”
You started jerking his dick again as whimpers started escaping his mouth with every stroke.
“Tell me again”
“I want to make you cum so fucking hard, rub your clit until it’s so sensitive and your legs are shaking, fuck you so hard that you won’t be able to walk in the morning-“
You cut him off again by stroking his cock faster. He became a whimpering mess.
“Uuuh, f-fuck.”
You could feel him twitch him your hands you know he was close. So you stopped.
“So needy” you laughed “Show me. Show me what you want to do to me.”
Without a second thought he grabbed your hips and flipped you over so now he was on top of you, he shuffled his pants and boxers all the way off. Before slamming his plump lips into yours. The kiss was unimaginable, so messy and sloppy, yet so gentle and lustful. His tongue was fighting for dominance and won easily, slipping in and out. He lightly bit your bottom lip and pulled away slightly and you moaned at the sensation.
He started kissing your neck leaving small hickies all over.
“You’re mine and I’m gonna show everyone that.” He said with his lips pressed against your neck.
He started moving down to your breasts where he lifted you up to unclasp your bra. Be for you knew it he had taken it off and thrown it across the room.
Leaving hickies all over your tits. He grasped one breast and lightly twirled your nipple between his fingers while sucking on your other nipple. He lightly bit your nipple making you moan, he did then moved to the other one to do the same thing. Your breasts felt tender and your nipples were hard.
He moved down your stomach leaving love bites all over while caressing your tits. Before he reached your panties. He ran his fingers along the brim of your panties and teased at them. You could feel your pussy throb as he got closer.
He bit on your panties and grabbed the sides sliding them down of your ankles. He came back up and spread your legs, and kissed your inner thighs leaving more hickies all over you. He leaned moved up so his face was inline with your pussy and placed a gentle kiss on your clit.
“Please Hayden.” You moaned
“Now look who’s the needy one” he snickered
He leaned in and placed another kiss on your clit, sloppier than the last. Before his tongue between your folds. You squirmed and whimpered at his touch.
“You’re so wet for me baby.” His said against your sopping pussy. Sending vibrations through your whole body. His voice and those words together made you feel so weak.
He moved back up to your level and smashed his lips into yours. You could taste your residue on his lips.
“Ready baby.”
You nod as he begins to align his cock with your entrance.
“Use your words darling.”
“Please fuck me Hayden.”
“Good girl.”
Before you could say anything he slammed into, and began pounding into. Tears filled your eyes while moans escaped your mouth, you had felt nothing like it. How his big dick filled you up completely making you feel light headed. You swear you could feel it in your stomach. He tilted your body up to get deeper inside you, while his hands rested on your hips moving to and from your ass. While your hands explored his hair yanking it slightly and him moaning when you did it.
Pleasure coursing through your whole body as he would almost pull his cock all the way out before slamming back into hard. Leaving no room for you to form words. Just moans that echoes throughout the room. Hayden’s grunts and moans becoming more aggressive as he sped up.
“You’re taking me so well, you feel so fucking.”
You moan louder at his words, his voice did something to.
“Yes…Hayden,” you moaned as he hit your g spot.
His thrusts began to get sloppier and you could feel his dick twitch inside you. You knew he was close and you were too as your pussy clenched.
“Fuck… Hayden I’m gonna cum.”
“Me too princess.” He moaned
He moved his right hand to your throbbing clit and started rubbing circular motion over it bringing you to your climax. Your juices spill all over Hayden’s cock as you moaned his name, stars entered your vision as the pleasure coursed through your whole body. As Hayden was about to pull out you spat out desperately “No cum inside me.”
Hayden smiled and only took a few more pumps before his cock twitched and his warm seed filled you up as he moaned. It oozed out of your swollen pussy. He pulled out and laid next you as you both tried catching your breath.
“Holy fuck. That was incredible.” You managed to spit out
“I told you I would make you feel amazing.” He smirked “You took me so well darling.”
You squirm at his words and lay your head and his chest. Simply at a loss for words for what just happened.

If you don't wanna read smut involving an OC, just scroll past it.
August 1985
The music was loud, bodies pressed close as everyone danced and shoved. Steve had been overwhelmed, scared even, when he’d first arrived, but now he was grinning as he pressed through to the bar.
“What can I get for you, gorgeous?” the bartender asked as he eyed Steve up and down appreciatively. Steve was happy that he was already flushed from dancing so his blush at the compliment wasn’t so obvious.
“Just a Coke, please!” he hollered over the music. “I have to drive back home tonight.”
“You got it, sweetie,” the bartender replied and quickly fixed him a glass.
Sipping at his Coke, Steve turned to lean back on the bar with his elbows and watched the crowd of men and women dancing. It was liberating, seeing men hold each other close and women kissing, and for a second he felt guilty for not bringing Robin. It wasn’t the first time he felt guilty, but he told himself again that it was important he figured some of his shit out on his own.
Immediately upon arriving he had been coaxed out to the dance floor by a young man with strong arms and a broad chest. He was absolutely gorgeous, Steve could easily admit that, and they danced for several songs together. They were eventually separated by the crowd, but that was fine. This was just a bit of an information gathering trip, Steve told himself, he wasn’t actually trying to go home with anyone this time.
As he scanned the crowd, his eyes caught on someone standing a bit away from Steve at a high-top. Steve’s heart stuttered at the long hair, the denim vest over a leather jacket, the ripped pants. But the longer Steve looked, the more features he noticed and relaxed a bit; the man was too tall, too blond, his hair too straight.
That did not change the way Steve’s heart raced when the man waved at him almost coyly.
Steve smiled sheepishly as he sipped his Coke, ducking his head a bit to glance at the man through his lashes.
The grin that came to Steve’s lips when the man immediately crossed the space to the bar was huge, and his breath left him as the man crowded close.
“Hey, handsome,” Steve greeted, the man’s smirk causing a swarm of butterflies in Steve’s gut to take wing. “What can I do you for?”
“Haven’t seen you here before,” the man replied, leaning a hand on the bar and idly stroking Steve’s elbow with his thumb. “You new to town?”
“Just visiting,” Steve replied, shivering at the contact. “You?”
“Born and raised,” he answered, and Steve shivered as the man’s other hand settled on his waist. “I’m Tig.”
Steve smiled, wondering if that was Tig's actual name or not. “Steve,” he replied, and Tig’s grin broadened.
He didn’t have dimples, which Steve noted with disappointment that left him feeling a bit guilty.
“Wanna dance, Steve?” Tig asked, which pulled a bit of a shocked laugh from Steve.
“Doesn’t seem like your scene,” he replied as Madonna blared over the speakers.
Tig laughed, and it was soft, almost sweet. “Definitely not,” he agreed, reaching up to brush Steve’s sweaty hair off his forehead. “Looks like yours, though. Could have a bit of fun here, and if you wanted, I could take you back to my place? Play something a bit more my speed?”
Steve reminded himself that he wasn’t intending to go home with anyone this time, that this was just for information gathering. But he was drawn to Tig. Steve wanted to dance with him, and he was probably going to go home with him.
They danced for what felt like hours but was really just seven songs before Tig called for a smoke break. Steve happily followed him outside, accepting a cigarette as it was handed to him. Tig lit his own cigarette then Steve’s, holding the lighter between them. They made small talk, the conversation easy and fun while they smoked together.
“What do you say we go somewhere a bit quieter?” Tig asked, steel-blue eyes hooded as he gave Steve a once-over. “Unless you want to keep dancing?”
“I think you were going to show me music more your speed,” Steve reminded him, smirking a bit as he shrugged. “Could always keep dancing,” he added teasingly and Tig laughed.
“You’ve no idea what you’re asking for,” Tig said with a quiet chuckle, rolling his eyes.
Steve went back to Tig’s apartment, and it was a mess. On the coffee table, there was a truly impressive bong surrounded by several glasses with various levels of various beverages. There was clothing strewn about as well and a plate with a half-eaten sandwich on the table.
“Sorry, my roommates are animals,” Tig grumbled as he took Steve’s hand and pulled him through the mess and into a bedroom. It was much tidier than the main living area and Steve looked around in fascination.
There were several posters on the walls, some clearly from a live show and others likely bought at a record store, all of them of bands Steve had never heard of. All of the posters had strange and even scary imagery. One poster looked familiar, though, but Steve was struggling to place it right away. There were two guitars in one corner of the room, one electric and the other acoustic, and Steve went to look at them closer.
“You play?” Tig asked, and Steve chuckled and shook his head.
“No, not at all. I don’t even sing or anything like that,” Steve replied, glancing over his shoulder. “I’m more of a jock, you could say.”
“No way,” Tig drawled sarcastically, smirking teasingly.
Steve just laughed and kept looking around. He could hear Tig messing around with the stereo on the other side of the room, but he focused on looking at the shelf of different cassettes and records. Finally, he looked at the bed and he blushed, his heart racing as he seemed to realize where he was.
He was actually in a man’s room, standing next to his bed while the man decided what music to put on.
There was a moment where that feeling almost turned into panic, but then his eyes fell on an old, well-loved tiger stuffed animal. It wasn’t just any tiger either.
Smiling brightly, Steve held it up as he met Tig’s gaze, and there was a light blush dusting his cheeks. “Tigger?” he asked warmly, before gesturing at the man himself. “Tig?”
“You cracked the code, Steve,” Tig replied, giving Steve a one-shouldered shrug as he put a tape in and hit play.
The soft sound of a guitar played from the speakers and Tig turned it up a touch. Then the man came around the bed to stand directly in front of Steve, smirking down at him. Gently, Tig took the stuffed animal out of Steve’s hands and put it on one of the shelves next to them.
“Not gonna ask for my real name?” Tig asked curiously, and Steve shrugged.
“Was Tig not a real name?” he asked, and Tig grinned at that, as if relieved or something.
“Tig is definitely a real name, or real enough,” Tig confirmed, lifting a hand to cup Steve’s jaw while the other slid around his waist.
There was a moment when Steve realized he was going to have his first kiss with a man, and it was going to be a guy he met only a couple hours ago, and he felt that almost-panicked feeling bubble up inside him again.
But then Tig was kissing him, and it was gentle and sweet, something Steve wouldn’t have expected looking at him. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Steve wondered if Eddie would kiss like this too.
Banishing that thought from his mind, Steve deepened the kiss and moaned when their tongues met. To his surprise, Steve discovered that Tig’s tongue was pierced, something he was very curious about. He didn’t realize he actually asked about it aloud until Tig laughed.
“How about I show you, sweetheart?”
They made quick work of stripping, even if they kept getting distracted with kissing each other, and then Steve was on the bed and staring up into Tig’s blue eyes. The nerves were coming back as they searched each other’s eyes, but Steve did his best to push them back.
It was just a blowjob. Steve had plenty of experience with receiving blowjobs. This wasn’t new.
With a smirk, Tig crawled downward, pausing to suck and nibble on one of Steve’s nipples, earning himself a sharp gasp and startled moan. Chuckling, Tig continued downward and without any preamble or teasing, he took Steve’s cock into his mouth and sunk down onto it. Steve arched off the bed as his cock hit the back of Tig’s throat, choking out a whine when Tig groaned and swirled his tongue on the upstroke.
The ball of the piercing against Steve’s cock had his brain oozing out his ears, the room swimming in his vision while he cried out. His hands tangled in silky, blonde hair, not pulling or guiding him, just holding on for dear life.
Suddenly, Tig pulled off Steve’s cock and asked, “Can you grab the lube out of the drawer next to you?”
Steve blinked at Tig, his stomach a bit queasy with his nerves, but he nodded and rifled through the drawer until he found the bottle. Laying back on the bed, Steve watched as Tig slicked up his fingers. He’d kind of looked into this, but it was still a bit nerve-wracking. Steve just hoped his nerves didn’t show, or if they did that Tig would just take them as part of some innocent act.
Tig’s mouth returned to Steve’s dick, only taking the head and working it with his pierced tongue while a finger gently probed at Steve’s hole. Working to stay relaxed, Steve grunted as the long digit slid inside and began to slide in and out. A second finger quickly joined, making Steve grimace but the mouth round his dick and the tongue playing with the weeping slit of it had him forgetting the pain immediately.
The two fingers worked his hole almost clinically, and Steve began to wonder if he would like it at all. He didn’t dislike it so far, and there was something pleasant about the push-pull in his rim.
Then Tig braced his free arm across Steve’s stomach before crooking his fingers just so.
The noise that was wrenched from Steve’s throat could only be described as a scream, his back arching and eyes rolling back as stars exploded behind them. When he caught his breath, Steve looked down at Tig with wide eyes, confused and aroused in equal amounts.
Tig was looking back up at him through his lashes, a knowing look in his eyes, and Steve was terrified he’d stop.
But then Tig was taking him as deep as possible and tilted his fingertips upward into that spot that made Steve sob.
Steve came almost embarrassingly quick, his whole body shuddering as he spilled down Tig’s throat and clenched around his fingers tightly.
When Steve was done shaking, he dragged Tig upward by his hair, kissing him deeply and tasting himself on his tongue. Without hesitation, Steve reached between them to touch Tig’s heavy, aching cock.
Tig groaned, thrusting his hips and fucking Steve’s fist, his eyes heavy-lidded as he loomed above Steve. “Close,” Tig sighed, shuddering and letting his eyes roll back and Steve quickened his pace.
It only took a few more determined pumps of his fist before Tig let out a thick, breathy groan and cum hit Steve’s stomach and chest. It was filthy and hot, and Steve wished he’d made Tig come inside his mouth instead.
Tig reached down to grab his shirt off the floor and wiped Steve’s stomach off before he collapsed on the bed next to him.
As they laid there panting for breath with sweat cooling on their skin, Steve’s attention returned to the music. It was actually sort of… pleasant, even if some of it went a bit harder than Steve typically listened to. The lyrics weren’t his favourite, but he could overlook those.
“What is this?” Steve asked, gesturing at the stereo.
“Huh?” Tig said hazily, blinking a couple times before he registered the question. “Oh, Iron Maiden. They’re my favourite band.”
“This is Iron Maiden?” Steve asked, a bit confused.
He’d looked into metal as a genre after Eddie helped him out with his busted head, but he’d been too nervous to dive into the music on his own. The album art made him think that the music would be scary, and Steve could remember many times Eddie’s van pulling into the school parking lot vibrating with screaming guitars. What was playing on the stereo was nice, and yeah, a lot of it went harder than the rock Steve typically went for, but Steve really liked it.
“You’ve heard of them?” Tig asked excitedly, rolling onto his side, a wide grin splitting his face.
“Yeah, I know this guy back home who listens to music like this— your poster!” Steve interrupted himself, snapping his fingers triumphantly and pointing to the one over the bed. “That’s on the back of his battle vest.”
When he looked back at Tig, there was a knowing look on his face that turned Steve’s stomach sour.
“You like this guy a lot?” Tig asked, and he sounded genuine in asking, like he actually wanted to hear about Steve’s feelings for another guy. Steve didn’t deserve that; he didn’t sleep with Tig just because he couldn’t have Eddie, but that was at least part of his motivation.
Steve shrugged, looking away from Tig.
“Hey, Steve, c’mon don’t shut me out,” Tig cooed softly, cupping Steve’s chin and turning his face back toward him. There was a smile on his lips as he said, “I’m not gonna be mad that you like another guy or anything.”
Steve flushed, his ears heating up as he nodded. “Yeah, of course, makes sense,” he muttered, mostly to himself before he sighed. “It doesn’t matter. My feelings for him, I mean. We couldn’t actually do anything about them anyway.”
“No?” Tig hummed, dropping his hand from Steve’s face to wrap around his waist loosely, his fingertips drawing shapes on Steve’s hip.
“We live in a small town a couple hours away, and we’re both too… popular, I guess, in our own ways to do it secretly,” he said quietly, then added even quieter, “my dad would kill him.”
Tig was quiet for a long while, then lifted his hand again to brush along the outside of his eye. The bruising was largely gone by then, but there was still a yellow-greenish tinge to his skin that spoke of a nasty injury recently if someone was observant enough.
“Your dad do that?” he asked quietly, and Steve shook his head.
“That was an accident at work,” Steve replied, the lie coming easily and Tig seemed to have bought it. “My dad never hits my face hard enough to leave a mark.”
It was weird how simple it was to say it out loud to a complete stranger like that, when he had only told Robin because she almost witnessed it happen.
“Your dad’s smarter than mine, then,” Tig said with a snort. “He went to prison—not for hitting me, other shit people actually care about, y’know? But I went into the system, bounced around a bunch of foster homes until I aged out.”
“Shit,” Steve grimaced and he wasn’t sure if his situation was so bad after all.
“Yeah,” Tig sighed, then smiled. “So this guy, he has a Dio patch on his battle vest?”
The change in topic was a bit confusing, but Steve was relieved, too. “I think he cut a T-shirt up, it’s too big to be a patch like the others, but yeah.”
“You should listen to Dio then, especially that album,” Tig said, his arm returning to rest around Steve’s waist and fingertips teasing the skin of his hip. “Might learn a few things about him.”
Steve sighed. “It’s stupid, but I’m afraid I won’t like it,” he confessed, laughing slightly.
“Do you like Iron Maiden?” Tig asked.
“Yeah, actually, I do,” Steve said with a laugh.
“You’ll probably appreciate Dio, then. You at least won’t hate Dio,” Tig said with a grin, cuddling tighter to Steve’s side.
It was nice, laying there in someone’s bed, being held. But then he started to feel a bit guilty for staying there so long. “I should be heading out,” Steve said a bit awkwardly, chewing his lip when Tig pulled back.
“Do you want to leave?” Tig asked and Steve sighed heavily.
“No, I don’t, but that’s—after stuff like this, isn’t it weird to just… hang out?” Steve asked weakly, shrugging.
“Only if you’re trying to stay when you’ve been told to get lost,” Tig replied with a chuckle as he threw his leg over Steve and shifted so he was straddling his thighs. “I was kinda hoping for round two when I put on a new cassette in a couple minutes.”
Steve smiled up at Tig, a bit awed by him. He was undeniably gorgeous, and on top of that he was compassionate and sweet, and he went by a nickname he got from a childhood toy. A toy he kept with him through several foster homes. Would Steve get a chance to learn why that toy was so important to him? Would they get close enough to open up that much to each other?
“Yeah? And what do you suggest we do until then?” Steve asked teasingly, tipping his chin up as Tig leaned down and brought his lips close.
“Was thinking about kissing you again, playing with your tits a bit, just to get you back in the mood,” Tig responded, and Steve was overwhelmed at the spike of heat that zapped through his core.
“They’re not tits,” he protested weakly, but his cock was already stiffening.
Two hands groped Steve’s chest a bit roughly before they shifted to flick their thumbs over his nipples, pulling an embarrassingly needy sound from Steve’s throat.
“Aren’t they, though? Just a little bit?” Tig asked before pinching Steve’s nipples and tugging them until Steve arched off the bed with a sob. “Y’got gorgeous tits, Steve.”
With that, Tig’s mouth finally met Steve’s, happily swallowing the increasingly desperate whines as he pinched, flicked, tugged, and twisted Steve’s nipples. It was impressive just how hard Steve already was by the time the album ended, his cock aching where it leaked drops of precum onto his hip.
Tig jumped up to quickly switch out the cassette, his own dick at half-mast but getting there. Steve took the few moments he was given to catch his breath, steady his thoughts, and calm himself down a bit. It would be humiliating if he came just from having his nipples played with.
“Shit, sweetheart, look at you,” Tig breathed, and Steve opened his eyes to look up at him.
He was standing next to the bed, eyes wide and adoring as he looked at Steve. Glancing down at Tig’s cock, he could see it had gotten harder and the thought that just looking at Steve did that for him…
It was flattering, embarrassing, and extremely hot.
Feeling brave, emboldened by Tig’s naked attraction to him, Steve played into the blush he felt rising to his cheeks, fluttering his lashes shyly as he looked away. “What?” he asked, biting his lip when he turned his gaze back to Tig’s.
Next thing Steve knew, Tig was on the bed and guiding him until he was laid out on his knees and chest. Tig was pressed flush against him from hips to chest, his dick rutting against the cleft of Steve’s ass. After the thorough fingering earlier, his hole felt loose and utterly empty, and the rubbing pressure of Tig’s length against his rim had Steve’s thoughts going hazy.
Steve had decided earlier that he drew the line at actual penetrative sex after he crossed his own line of “no going home with someone tonight.” He had made a new rule for himself, and he had thought it was going to be an easy enough one to follow. It made no sense for him to go from being basically a virgin to having a dick inside him in one night.
Then again, wasn’t that the experience of every virgin he had slept with up until that point?
“Tig,” Steve gasped, rocking back and shuddering when Tig grabbed his hip in a bruising grip.
With a thick groan, Tig asked, “what, sweetheart?”
Swallowing hard, Steve turned his head to look over his shoulder at Tig, blinking up at him through his lashes. “Fuck me?” he asked, putting a bit more sweetness in is tone than what came naturally. Then, with a sighing moan, he added, “please?”
Tig’s steel-blue eyes were almost black with how blown his pupils were in the dimly lit room. It was very clear that he really got off on the sweet, almost innocent act and he would happily play into it. Whatever got Steve something touching that spot inside him that made him scream.
Steve wasn’t sure how Tig had the bottle of lube in his hand so quickly, but then he was slicking his fingers and shifting his hips away from Steve’s ass.
Whining pathetically, Steve rocked back, trying to chase the delicious pressure. He barely had time to register Tig’s chuckle before there was pressure against his rim and then he had Tig’s fingers inside him again. There was no working Steve up to it this time, just three of his long, slender fingers as deep as they could go.
With a punched-out moan, Steve got onto his elbows and rocked back again, shuddering as Tig fucked him with his fingers. After a bit of trying to shift his hips to get Tig’s fingers where he wanted, Steve realized the man was avoiding his prostate, just moving and scissoring him and getting Steve even more loose.
“Tig, please,” Steve whined as Tig twisted his hand. Then he spread his fingers as much as Steve’s hole would let him and held them there. Steve shook, his breath leaving him in harsh little pants and he realized belatedly that he was actually talking, begging over and over for Tig’s cock.
Behind him, Tig chuckled and Steve grunted when a cold and wet glob of lube was poured over and into his spread hole. Tig’s fingers moved again a bit, working the lube deeper inside before he repeated the process. He ended up doing that until Steve was quivering with arousal, his ass so slick and wet that every small slide of Tig’s fingers was accompanied by an obscenely wet sound.
“You think you’re ready for me, princess?” Tig asked, his voice rough with his own arousal, and Steve sobbed and nodded frantically.
He didn’t even register the pet name for several moments, too busy crying into the comforter as Tig just laughed and repeated the process with the lube two more times. Steve knew without a doubt that he had never been so hard in his entire life leading up to that moment, his cock leaking a steady stream of precum onto the bed underneath him, his balls heavy and the length of it throbbing.
“Tig, please!” Steve begged, sniffling as tears streamed down his face.
“Alright, sweetheart, shush,” Tig hummed, his voice smug. “Give me one of your hands.”
Steve immediately reached back and Tig took it while he withdrew his fingers from Steve’s hole. Then he guided Steve’s hand until he pressed three of his own fingers inside his slick, hot hole. Steve’s fingers were thicker than Tig’s, but by then he was so open and wet that he didn’t even feel the stretch that much.
“Keep those still while I get a condom on, alright?” Tig said and Steve nodded quickly, biting his lip as he focused on holding his hand still and settling his breathing.
He knew he was on the edge of an orgasm he knew would absolutely ruin him for weeks, and all he could do is try not to let that happen before Tig was even inside him.
“Alright, princess, make room for me,” Tig said, and then he laughed at how quickly Steve pulled his fingers out of his hole for him. Steve blushed heavily at that, a spike of embarrassment pooling more heat low in his gut.
A large hand wrapped around the front of Steve’s hip, and he looked over his shoulder to watch Tig position his cock. Steve felt the pressure at his rim, sucked in a deep breath, and then Tig was pushing.
Despite being fingered within an inch of his life twice in one night and having what felt like half a bottle of lube slicking his hole, the stretch was overwhelming. Steve was winded already, the girth of Tig slowly splitting him in half pushing all of the oxygen out of Steve’s lungs. There was a moment where Steve considered that he overestimated his capabilities, that yeah getting fingered like he took it all the time was one thing, but a dick was a completely different story. He thought he should tap out and let Tig know that he was, for the purposes of the sort of sex they would have, a total virgin and he just met his limit.
And then Tig’s hips were pressed flush to Steve’s ass, his cock sunk to the root inside Steve’s core.
When Tig shifted to pull out, Steve reached back with one hand and grabbed his hip, holding him place. “Give me sec,” he gasped, shuddering as he willed his body to relax. The plus side was that the burning stretch was enough to pull Steve back from the edge he was teetering on since Tig played with his nipples.
“You okay, Steve?” Tig asked, and Steve nodded frantically.
The burn was starting to lessen, and while it didn’t feel good at the moment, it definitely didn’t feel bad either. He felt mostly uncomfortable, like pressure was building as his hole clenched around the thick cock inside him.
“Use your words, Steve,” Tig insisted, and to Steve’s dismay the playful, low growl was leaving his voice.
“Y-yeah, I’m okay, just needed a second,” Steve said as steadily as he could, loosening his grip on Tig’s hip and rubbing the skin soothingly. “I’m ready.”
There was hesitation, but eventually Tig let out a shaky breath and started to pull out just as slowly as he pushed in. The drag on Steve’s rim on the pull-out was intense and he mindlessly rocked back with the movement. There was a sense of both relief and sadness when Tig was nearly all the way out, and Steve let out a pitiful little sob.
“I’ve got you, princess,” Tig cooed, and he pushed back inward to the root in one smooth motion, much faster than the first time. All of the air was forced out of Steve all over again, his eyes wide as he twisted his fists in the comforter. He barely had a moment to register that it felt better that time when Tig was already pulling out again.
Each thrust grew faster and more powerful behind Steve, driving tiny, broken little sounds out of his throat. Eyes rolling back, Steve began rocking back to meet each snap of Tig’s hips, the slap of their skin meeting filling the room and almost drowning out the music. The song that was playing was picking up speed, and so was Tig, his cock sliding in and out of Steve with obscenely wet sounds. Steve could feel the steady trickle of lube running down his taint and balls, each thrust pulling more out of Steve’s loose hole.
“Time for a little change, sweetheart,” Tig sighed, and then he was hauling Steve up until his back was flush to Tig’s chest.
When Steve settled back in Tig’s lap, his cock somehow slid even deeper and Steve sobbed, grinding his hips backward. The new angle had the arch of Tig’s dick pressing firmly against Steve’s sweet spot and stars exploded behind his eyes. He could barely breathe, shaking in Tig’s lap as one hand reached back to tangle in long blond hair.
“C’mon, princess, time to move,” Tig growled, low and dark in Steve’s ear before hands fell to his hips and bodily rocked him.
The shifting movement was overwhelming and a thick spurt of precum leaked from the tip of his cock. Steve wasn’t going to last, and they hadn’t even touched his cock. That thought had static screaming in his head as his body lit up on every massaging shift against his prostate, and Steve’s throat hurt from just how loud he knew he was being. The pleasure was sharp enough that Steve was sure he had to be bleeding somehow, and it was quickly approaching the realm of unpleasant.
It was too much all at once.
Steve let out a grunt as his other hand grabbed one of Tig’s holding his hip. He tried to think of what to say, how to communicate that he needed to slow down, that it was too much, but he didn’t want to stop completely.
“Can’t,” Steve gasped out, trying to lift himself up a bit and letting out a filthy sound. It didn’t seem like Tig heard him, because he let out a thick groan and pulled Steve back down, knocking a wounded cry from his throat.
“Fuck, you sound so pretty,” Tig sighed as he nibbled and sucked at Steve’s throat.
Then Tig’s other hand, the one Steve wasn’t holding, slid forward to wrap around Steve’s cock and somehow it was a relief. The pleasure became much less sharp, more familiar even as his ass clenched around a thick length seated deep in his core. Steve whined and shook as Tig began to stroke him.
“Bounce that pretty ass of yours on my cock, princess,” Tig ordered, and Steve tried to summon the strength but he was pretty sure it had leaked out his cock with the precum puddling on the bed underneath him.
“Can’t,” Steve repeated, this time a little louder, his voice a little less choked.
Tig paused behind him before he coaxed Steve to lift up a bit. Steve gasped in a desperate breath of air.
“You okay, Steve?” Tig asked, and Steve nodded frantically.
“The position’s just—it’s a lot,” Steve managed to say after a bit, his voice shaking as his hole clenched around the cock still halfway inside him.
Tig kissed the back of his shoulder, and Steve’s stomach did a little flip. “Too much?” he asked softly, and Steve whimpered and nodded, tears springing to his eyes.
“Alright, baby, I’m gonna put you back on the bed like before, is that okay?” Tig said, and Steve nodded, letting out a shuddering sigh as he was gently guided forward until he caught himself on his hands.
Dropping onto his chest, Steve sighed with relief. It was still a lot, but not sharp at all. Turning his heavy-lidded gaze over his shoulder, Steve bit his bottom lip. “Thank you,” he sighed and rocked back against Tig.
The expression on Tig’s face was hungry and with another push from Steve, he started to fuck him properly.
It was hard and fast, and a lot of it hurt but Steve could take it. He was happy to, with the way Tig was groaning, calling him sweet names and telling him how good he was, how well he took cock, like Steve was made for it. Steve was crying, tears streaming down his face as he met each hard thrust, sobs tumbling from his lips as he nodded and pleaded for more.
“Touch yourself, princess, gonna come soon,” Tig growled and Steve didn’t wait to be told twice.
Wrapping a hand around himself, he only managed two quick pumps and then he was coming, letting out a sound best described as a scream. Behind him, Tig groaned and fucked Steve’s hole as it spasmed around him, thrusts growing erratic until he snapped his hips forward one last time with a surprisingly soft exclamation. Steve shuddered as he felt the warmth of Tig’s release fill the condom inside him, new tears spilling from his eyes at that intimacy.
Tig dropped to his elbows above Steve, draping himself over Steve’s back as he ground his hips against him. The sensation of Tig’s softening cock moving against Steve’s twitching, aching hole pulled a hiss from Steve. With a chuckle, Tig lifted himself up and off of Steve, pulling out with a wet sound that had his ears turning red.
There were several moments where Steve was alone in the bed, maybe even alone in the whole room while Tig muttered something about dealing with the condom. He stayed where Tig left him, chest against the bed, knees under him to keep out of the wet spot, and another wave of tears welled up. He wasn’t upset, he knew that much, that he felt honestly amazing despite the ache in his pelvis. So why was he crying?
Steve thought back to one of the first girls he ever slept with, the way she had cried when they were done. He thought about Nancy’s quiet melancholy after their first time.
“You okay, Steve?” Tig asked, and Steve jumped at the gentle touch of a warm washcloth against his tender ass, wiping away some of the lube.
“Yeah, I’ll get out of your hair in a bit,” Steve replied hoarsely, chuckling lightly.
“Steve, if you think I’m not cuddling the shit out of you after taking your ass virginity, you’re literally insane,” Tig said teasingly, yet firmly and Steve blushed.
“How did you know?” he asked, barely keeping a flinch at bay as he flopped onto his side to look up at Tig, who was smirking.
“I didn’t. I suspected, and you just confirmed,” Tig chuckled, laying on his side next to Steve and facing him. “You could’ve told me.”
Steve shrugged a bit. “I didn’t want you to treat me like I was fragile,” he admitted, shrugging and wiping his tears off his face. “I thought you’d stop me if you knew.”
“Steve, I was pretty sure you’d never had your ass even touched the first time I fingered you,” Tig replied with a smirk. At Steve’s questioning look, Tig said, “you got that look on your face when I found your prostate that kinda screamed that you didn’t know that was there.”
Steve blushed, remembering the way he jolted and stared wide-eyed at Tig. “That’s fair,” Steve admitted, chewing his cheek.
“It’s not my place to tell you what you can and can’t handle, so if you said ‘hey Tig I’ve never done this but please don’t stop’ I would’ve happily still fucked you,” Tig said, cupping Steve’s cheek gently.
“Noted,” Steve sighed, smiling tiredly at Tig who leaned in and kissed him, deep and sweet.
October 1985
Steve ended up getting Tig’s number as he was leaving the next morning, and while he didn’t call often, they still formed a solid friendship. The lines of that friendship blurred whenever Tig would ask Steve when he was going to come back to Indy, and Steve would immediately say his closest day off.
There was once that Steve stayed at Tig’s place for two nights in a row. They hadn’t even gone to the bar, Steve just went straight to his apartment.
It was a lot of fun, and Steve had quickly figured out the answers to his questions. Was he actually interested in men? Yes, emphatically. So it wasn’t just his confused, concussed brain being weird about Eddie? No, absolutely not.
And Steve really liked Tig, could see himself loving Tig someday even.
Tig, however, was already there.
Steve could clearly remember the moment he realized that Tig had fallen harder than he did.
They were laying in Tig’s bed, and Steve had set an alarm to leave extra early so he could still make it back to Hawkins to give Robin a ride to school. He was going to go home the night before, but he was talked into staying until the morning.
Steve moved to slide out of the bed and Tig’s long arms wrapped around him, pulling him back in with a sleepy whine.
“Don’t go,” Tig murmured sleepily, kissing Steve’s shoulder.
Steve laughed and rolled in Tig’s arms to kiss the tip of his nose. “I’ve gotta get back. I need to drive my sister to school,” he explained again and Tig captured his lips sweetly.
Even in the moment, Steve felt something different between them, something naked and vulnerable that wasn’t even there when they were having sex.
“Seriously, Tig, I gotta go,” Steve murmured against Tig’s mouth with a laugh, wiggling out of his embrace so he could start grabbing his clothes off the floor.
“Can’t anyone else take her to school?” Tig asked, his tone lacking the teasing tone it usually had, and Steve looked over his shoulder at him with a frown.
The expression on Tig’s face was open and unbearably soft and dread sunk into Steve’s gut. He knew that look because he had seen it enough times in the mirror when he had thought about Nancy when he was first dating her, when he decided to throw away even trying to get into college right after high school.
“What’s gotten into you this morning?” Steve asked with a little smile, trying to laugh it off as if Tig was just goofing off.
“I just like having you here,” Tig confessed, reaching out to touch Steve’s arm gently. “I want you to stay.”
The weight of that sentence was crushing.
Tig’s expression closed off a bit when Steve did not react the way he had possibly hoped, and the guilt Steve felt was overwhelming. He would give anything to feel the same way, to want to stay the way Tig was asking him to and he wanted to say all of that. All Steve could do was turn his face away and mutter a soft, “shit.”
Behind him, Tig chuckled hollowly. “Yeah, shit,” he said before he scoffed. “Is it because of that guy back home? You were able to pretend you were fucking around with him until the feelings got too real?”
Steve flinched. “No, Tig. It has nothing to do with him,” he bit out as he stood up, fighting back guilty tears.
“Then what is it?” Tig was sitting up in the bed, jaw set with hurt and anger.
“Jesus fucking Christ, why are you doing this right now?” Steve asked, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I don’t have time to actually talk this out with you.”
“Then maybe we shouldn’t,” Tig said flatly, not even angrily. Steve looked at him, somewhat alarmed at the suggestion, and Tig was looking at his bookshelf. “You can leave and we just go our separate ways.”
Steve stared at Tig, his mouth hanging open before he closed it with a click. He should just turn and leave, just as Tig suggested. He could do that, and justify it as doing as he was asked.
But Steve was never very good at running away.
“I’m sorry, Tig. I really am because I wish I felt like that for you. I hate that I don’t, I feel sick about it,” Steve said in a rush, looking down at his hands while he gathered his thoughts. “You’re one of my closest friends, you know things about me that only my sister knows, and if I could choose to fall for someone, I would choose you, Tig.”
“That makes no sense,” Tig argued, and Steve couldn’t blame him.
They shared so much, had been vulnerable and genuine and open in ways Steve hadn’t even felt with Robin in some ways. Yet there was this wall between them in the shape of Demogorgons, Demodogs, and Mindflayers and all the trauma that came with those. Over the months, there were days where Steve knew he couldn’t stay the night with Tig because the chances were good that he’d be waking up with a screaming nightmare. There were several times he canceled a trip out entirely because one of the kids was slow to respond to a check-in and Steve knew the entire weekend was toast.
And if he managed to fall for Tig the way he wished he could and Tig asked him to stay again, Steve couldn’t leave the kids until he was certain the Upside Down was gone. How could he possibly explain to Tig that he was going to stay in his homophobic hometown where his father lived for the kids he babysat? Especially since they were all plenty old enough to not need a babysitter?
There was an ocean of monsters and confidentiality agreements between Steve and anyone who was blissfully unaware of the evil alternate universe under Hawkins, and he couldn’t cross it while he was still barely staying afloat himself.
“You’re right, it doesn’t, but just… those are the facts,” Steve said weakly, his lip trembling. “I love you and need you in my life, but just… not the same way as you, and I promise I hate myself so much for that.”
“Steve, stop, I don’t want that,” Tig said and he shifted to sit at the edge of the bed and wrap his arms around Steve’s waist and pull him into a tight hug. “I don’t want you to beat yourself up over how you feel.”
“Why are you comforting me right now?” Steve asked, his voice pathetically small as he wrapped his arms around Tig’s shoulders.
“Because I’m hurt over something you can’t control, and you’re hurt because I was mean,” Tig said, his words a bit muffled against Steve’s chest. “I don’t want to lose you either.”
Steve let out a shaky sigh of relief, sniffling slightly as he petted Tig’s hair. “I think I could love you like that if I had more time,” he said softly, tipping his head back to blink up at the ceiling, tears falling back into his hair. “There’s just… a lot that I’m dealing with that I can’t tell you about.”
“Yeah, I know,” Tig sighed, then he tipped his head back to meet Steve’s gaze solemnly. His eyelashes and cheeks were damp with tears, and Steve’s heart broke again. “I can’t wait for you, though. And I’m not a strong enough person to keep sleeping with you either.”
“That makes sense,” Steve said, wiping Tig’s tears away. “Can I still call you to talk sometimes?”
“Yeah,” Tig said sweetly, smiling a bit. “And you better say hi when you come back out. No avoiding me because you think you’re doing me a favour.”
Steve laughed at that, even if it hit a bit too close to the truth of his character. “Wouldn’t dream of it,” he replied instead.
“One more kiss for the road?” Tig asked, and he looked like he regretted asking the moment it left his mouth, but he let the question stand.
Steve nodded and stooped to press his lips to Tig’s. It was a soft, chaste, and desperately sad kiss that tasted of tears when it inevitably deepened.
Pulling away, Steve stepped out of Tig’s loose embrace and finished getting dressed.
“I’ll just see myself out?” Steve said as he grabbed his overnight bag and went to leave.
“Wait, Steve,” Tig stopped him, and when Steve turned to look at him, he was grabbing something off the desk next to the stereo. Crossing the room in a couple strides, he handed it to Steve and said, “I made this for you.”
Steve stared at the cassette case in Tig’s hand with wide eyes. No one had ever made him a mix-tape, but Tig had and was giving it to Steve, even though Steve broke his heart.
“You still want to give it to me?” he asked.
“It’s yours, Steve. I made it for you, so it’s not for me to keep,” Tig reassured him, and Steve took the mixtape.
“Thank you,” he said, and it sounded pathetic to his own ears.
“I’ll see you around, okay?” Tig said, and he turned away from Steve to go back to his bed. Steve could tell he was wiping away more tears.
“Yeah,” Steve agreed and he left Tig’s room, closing the bedroom door behind himself and hurrying out of the apartment to his car.
Once he was in the Beemer, he inserted Tig’s mixtape into the tape-deck. The moment the first song started, with the almost upbeat synths over hard guitars, Steve knew it was a tape of all of his favourite songs he’d noted as he listened to the various metal bands Tig liked.
Steve smiled, even as he teared up all over again and started the lonely drive back to Hawkins.
May 1986
Over the following months, Steve and Tig stayed friendly. They still called each other to talk, and sometimes Tig invited him out to Indy, but they were strictly friends without the additional benefits. Tig was almost always on the arm of another guy when Steve would arrive at the bar and usually left before Steve was done dancing and scoping out the possibilities.
Steve was popular with the alternative crowd, partly because of the three months he spent on Tig’s arm he was sure. He belatedly came to learn that Tig was actually fairly well-known in the scene in Indy, and by extension Steve was too, at least a little bit. That revelation had worried Steve at first, that it would hurt Tig if he fooled around with his friends and acquaintances.
Tig put a stop to that worrying one night when Steve was reluctant to flirt with a guy Tig encouraged to approach him.
One day in February, Tig invited Steve out to Indy specifically to meet his boyfriend Charlie.
They were adorable together, already settling into domestic habits that hinted at their future together. Charlie was a bit older than Tig and owned a home, which is where they hosted Steve when he visited. While he didn’t outwardly appear to be as deeply into the metal scene as Tig, when Charlie rolled up the sleeves of his sweater Steve was treated to the sight of tattoos covering every inch of his skin.
As Tig set Steve up in the guest bedroom that night, he asked nervously, “What do you think?”
Steve had blinked at him, confused. “About what?” he asked.
“Charlie,” Tig said, laughing and rolling his eyes. “What do you think about him?”
“I think I’m jealous you found him first,” Steve said with a smile at Tig. “He’s a great guy. You deserve him.”
Tig glanced away with a smile so fond and happy that Steve’s chest ached with how much he cared about Tig. He was so pleased that Tig got the happy ending he truly deserved, the one he never would’ve gotten if he stuck around waiting for Steve.
“I think I love him,” Tig confessed quietly, and Steve laughed.
“You just think you love him?” he asked skeptically and Tig covered his blushing face with both hands.
“Okay, fine, I’m definitely in love with him,” he mumbled into his palms and Steve grinned.
“I definitely think he’s just as gone on you, too,” Steve said after a bit, and Tig looked at him nervously.
“You think so?” he asked, and it was weird seeing Tig so off-balance and timid.
Steve pulled Tig into a tight hug, who returned it even tighter. “I know so, Tig,” Steve said firmly.
When Steve left the next morning, he promised to bring his sister to meet them when she was on spring break in a few weeks.
Between the world almost ending and waiting for Eddie to wake up, Steve had forgotten to call Tig and let him know what was up. He didn’t even think about the fact that the earthquake had made national news until a couple weeks after Eddie was discharged.
Steve was covered up to his elbows in flour in the kitchen when the phone started ringing, and he cursed a bit.
“I got it,” Eddie called from where he was lounging on the couch next to one of the receivers. Picking it up, he drawled in an almost sickeningly sweet tone, “you’ve reached the Henderson-Harrington-Munson household, how may I direct your call?”
Snorting a bit, even as his gut fluttered at Eddie inserting himself in the home he created with the Hendersons, Steve started to wash his hands.
Eddie hummed. “Hey man, slow down—Steve’s right—yeah, he’s just in the kitchen, alright? Hold on,” Eddie said in a calming voice, and Steve looked over his shoulder with a frown. His boyfriend was returning the expression, an eyebrow raised high as he pulled the phone away from his ear and held it out. “It’s for you, Stevie. His name is Charlie?”
“Oh, shit,” Steve gasped, hurrying across the phone to take the receiver from Eddie and sat down on the arm of the couch. “Charlie, I am so sorry. I can’t fucking believe I forgot to call you guys—”
“Steve, it’s okay, Jesus, I’m just relieved to hear your voice,” Charlie said with a quiet laugh, and then there was a bunch of noise on the other line as if Charlie was fumbling his phone in his hands.
Then the rustling noises stopped. “Steve, what the fuck?” Tig practically growled over the line.
“I am so sorry, Tig—”
“Do you fucking understand how out of my mind I’ve been? There was a huge fucking earthquake! We felt it all the way out here!” Tig said, properly shouting at Steve. There was no heat in his voice, only weeks of anxiety and worry being released, but Steve still flinched a bit.
“Tig, I know you’re upset and you have every right to be, I just need you to dial back the volume,” Steve said and instantly Tig took a deep breath.
“It was all over the news, about half of Hawkins being fucking leveled, and a ton of people still being missing, and there was some murderer running around?” Tig started again, this time much quieter but no less upset. “And then we couldn’t get through to you at all.”
“Yeah, the phone lines were out for a while,” Steve said weakly, chewing his lip.
“When we did get through, a woman answered the phone and said you were at the hospital?” Tig added and Steve groaned.
“That was Claudia, and she didn’t mean I was injured—” Eddie made a stern noise and poked Steve gently in the side, not hard enough to hurt but enough to get his point across. “Okay, I was injured, but I wasn’t at the hospital for that. I was there for Eddie.”
There was a long pause. “Like, Eddie Eddie?”
Steve felt his ears heat up a bit. “Yeah, that one,” he replied, and he could feel Eddie’s eyes on him. “He was at the hospital until the end of last month—”
“Wait, wait, is he the same Eddie that was on the news, with the murders and shit?”
Steve tensed up, his stomach sinking at the thought that Tig might have bought into the bullshit. “He had nothing to do with those,” he said firmly, his anger already crawling into his voice.
“Shit, Steve, I didn’t mean it like that, I swear. We only really got the news about the murders after everything else happened,” Tig said quickly and Steve slowly relaxed again. “Seriously, most of the news on that shit was a lot of ‘hick town recalls witch hunt on innocent nerdy metalhead following massive earthquake.’ I just meant if he was the same Eddie that was in the news as one of the Creel survivors.”
“Yeah, the very same,” Steve confirmed, sighing heavily. “I’m sorry, Tig, I should’ve called. There was just a lot going on.”
Tig sighed as well and Steve could hear Charlie murmur something. “Yeah, I get it. I’m sorry for yelling at you. I was just so fucking scared, Steve,” Tig said, and Steve could hear the tears in his voice.
“I know, it’s okay,” Steve said softly.
There was another pause before Tig asked, “So when can Charlie and I expect to meet him?”
Steve laughed loudly, tipping his head back. “He’s still healing. I’ll let you know when we can make the drive.”
“Sounds good,” Tig said before he sighed. “Don’t ever leave me off the post-emergency phone tree ever again, Steve, okay?”
“I won’t, I promise,” Steve agreed instantly and sincerely. “I’ll talk to you later, okay?”
“Yeah, talk to you later. Love you,” Tig said, and Steve grinned.
“Love you, too, man,” he said and hung the receiver up. When he finally turned to look at Eddie, the other man was staring at him with his brow furrowed.
“Who was that?” Eddie asked.
“My friend Tig and his boyfriend Charlie,” Steve said with a shrug as he got up to go back to the kitchen. He knew that wasn’t the full answer Eddie wanted, but Steve kind of liked the way Eddie would get huffy at his vague answers.
“Okay, obviously I gathered their names and that they were boyfriends, but how do you know them?” Eddie asked as he got up shakily and followed Steve into the kitchen. When Steve looked over his shoulder, he saw Eddie standing in the doorway of the kitchen and leaning heavily on his cane.
“I met Tig in Indy, and then I met Charlie when Tig started dating him,” Steve replied as he got back to his baking.
“Is Tig one of the guys who popped your cherry?” Eddie asked and Steve grimaced.
“Okay, first off? Don’t say that phrase, it’s gross,” Steve insisted before looking at Eddie. “Are you going to be weird if I say yes?”
“I’m already weird, Harrington,” Eddie replied airily with a sniff.
“Fine, he was the first guy I did almost everything with,” Steve replied, rolling his eyes when Eddie let out a devastated noise behind him.
“I hate him,” Eddie claimed without any amount of sincerity and Steve just laughed as he heard Eddie shuffle back to the couch.
April 1987 - Bonus Track
Eddie was never nervous before a show.
Sure, he was jittery and scatterbrained, and even a bit short-tempered. But nervous? No. Being nervous would imply he didn’t think the band was talented or something. Plus, nowadays they had Steve around, helping them out with moving and setting up their equipment since Eddie couldn’t lift and haul things around like he used to. Having Steve’s steady presence helped ease any nerves anyone in the band might have.
Not Eddie though, because he was never nervous before a show. Not even this one, their first show since the world almost ended and their first show in Indy since ‘84. This show that was actually sold-out because apparently being framed for murder and then allegedly surviving being targeted by said murderer did wonders for your reputation as a metal band.
“Dude, if you don’t stop bouncing your leg, you’re gonna get exhausted before we even go out there,” Jeff said, gingerly grabbing Eddie’s knee and stopping the movement.
Eddie nearly snapped at him about it, but just barely stopped himself. Of course, Jeff was correct because now that he was stopped, he was forced to acknowledge the ache already settling into the muscle beneath the scar.
“What’s your deal anyway?” Gareth asked point-blank, because yeah. Eddie wasn’t acting normal.
The deal was that Steve apparently knew a fair bit of the metal scene in Indianapolis better than Eddie did. He even knew the bartenders there and a couple of the other bands that were playing that night, too. He didn’t stick around chatting very long with anyone, but it was obvious he was weirdly part of the community. Hell, when they arrived at the bar, there was practically a chorus of “Steve”s from the bartender and patrons alike.
The deal was that Eddie knew Steve had fooled around with a couple of these people, and that woke something possessive and territorial in his gut.
Eddie had understandably taken the first opportunity to say ‘mine’ as subtly as possible.
Which obviously meant he wasn’t subtle at all.
Shucking off his battle vest, Eddie held it out to Steve expectantly, clearly telling him without words to wear it. A wordless command to show all his metalhead friends who he belonged to now.
Steve had looked at the vest, then slowly lifted his gaze to Eddie’s face with a raised eyebrow and a very small part of Eddie worried took it too far. However, without breaking eye-contact, Steve took the battle vest and, in front of all his metalhead friends, shrugged it on over his leather jacket. Steve looked down at himself as he straightened the vest out, but when his gaze returned to Eddie, there was a simmering heat in his eyes that set Eddie on fucking fire.
Then Steve just turned around to sidle up to the bar for a drink.
“I’m just excited, Garebear,” Eddie said, and it wasn’t actually a lie. He was excited to perform, to show the world—or at least this dive bar in Indy—what Corroded Coffin could do, to prove that nothing could hold him back from the stage.
Eddie also just wanted to get through their set so he could get his mouth on Steve and mark him as his even more. He wanted to bite and scratch and bruise perfectly tanned and freckled skin, wanted to spell out PROPERTY OF EDDIE MUNSON with the marks. Eddie wanted to make Steve bleed, make him feel it for days so he couldn’t possibly forget who he belonged to.
And Eddie knew that wasn’t necessary, none of it, because he knew Steve was his, and Steve knew that too, happily reinforced that almost every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. Even beyond the sex they had. They were absolutely secure in their relationship together, and neither of them were worried about the other breaking what they had off.
Eddie just wanted the world—or at least this dive bar in Indy—to understand that. He wanted them to understand it and despair that they would never get to have Steve like they used to.
“Okay, now you look pissed,” Frank finally spoke up, and Eddie groaned. Couldn’t a guy have his revenge fantasies in peace?
“I’m fine! I’m excited! I’m just getting myself in the zone! Fuck off!” Eddie exclaimed, and then finally they were allowed to take the tiny stage.
The other guys took the stage ahead of Eddie, letting him take the stairs at his pace with his cane. Jeff was talking to the crowd to warm them up as Frank and Gareth got set up, and he introduced Eddie to what was actually a deafening cheer.
Seriously, being framed for murder and then gored by Demobats was the best thing to happen to his reputation with the people outside of Hawkins. He was absolutely wearing a tattered Iron Maiden shirt and jeans so full of holes they barely counted as pants, all just to show off the twisted knots of scarred skin.
As Eddie took his spot at the center of the stage and leaned back on the stool the bar provided, he immediately scanned the crowd with his eyes and instantly found Steve. He was still standing near the bar and cheering loud enough that his voice rose above the rest of the din.
Steve looked delicious, standing there in a shitty dive bar, wearing denim and leather like he actually belonged there. Steve had even indulged Eddie and let him put some eyeliner on him. That had made them almost late leaving the shitty little hotel room they were renting.
Grinning toothily at Steve, Eddie turned his attention to the rest of the crowd. “Hello Indianapolis! Been a while since we’ve been here,” Eddie said with a teasing lilt, shrugging as he looked back at the rest of the band. “Nothing too eventful happened for us, right guys?”
The crowd all snickered and cheered, and that was Gareth’s cue to count them in. Eddie stood up fully as he came in on the opening guitar riff, frowning as his leg twinged but it was easy enough to push through and the pain passed quickly. He should be able to get through most of the set standing as long as he didn’t do anything too wild while playing.
Despite generally being the face of Corroded Coffin, Eddie wasn’t the main vocalist. He shared that spotlight with Jeff, and he did a majority of the singing. Eddie was the lead guitarist, which meant he handled a lot of the more difficult guitar riffs and that was typically easier to do when he wasn’t focusing on vocals at the same time.
While performing, Eddie kept finding Steve in the crowd, meeting his gaze and smirking at the way Steve was so thoroughly engrossed in the performance. Steve had watched them practice and rehearse, but he’d never seen them perform and Eddie was fairly confident Steve enjoyed it.
Eddie did a bit of a flourish near the end of the next guitar solo, swiveling his hips in a filthy rolling grind behind his guitar. The movement had pain zapping through his thigh, but he was okay, he was perfect, because Steve’s mouth had dropped open and Eddie knew the man was blushing.
Once the song was over, Jeff started talking to the crowd again and gave Eddie a look that clearly said ‘sit the fuck down for a minute’ and Eddie rolled his eyes. Of course, he did sit on his stool because his leg was not happy after that little move with his guitar.
Eddie looked out toward Steve, who was frowning slightly at seeing him sit, but he smiled brightly when their eyes met.
Then a tall man with long blond hair walked up to Steve and touched his arm. Even from his vantage point on the stage, Eddie could tell the man was gorgeous with features so defined he looked like he was carved from stone. Steve turned his head, and Eddie was excited to watch his boyfriend rebuff the literal god vying for his attention.
But then Steve’s entire face brightened and then he hugged the man. Steve fully wrapped his arms around him, their bodies pressed flush against each other, and Eddie’s head filled with static.
The man pulled back, gestured at the vest Steve was wearing, and Steve just laughed and gestured at Eddie on the stage. When Steve’s gaze met Eddie’s, he froze under the weight of Eddie’s possessive glower.
Only a handful of songs left and then he could get down there himself to handle that situation.
Eddie did not look away from Steve for the rest of their short set, making promises with the heat of his gaze and the way he moved his hips as he played. The man leaned close to say something directly into Steve’s ear and Eddie could definitely tell his boyfriend was blushing, even from that distance.
That possessive, territorial thing inside Eddie roared to life and it took everything in Eddie to not end the set now and drag Steve into the nearest bathroom to mark him so deeply that the asshole wouldn’t even look at Steve again. He wanted to choke Steve on his cock before he bent Steve over one of the sinks and fucked his perfect little hole with only lube to ease the way. Wouldn’t even prepare him with his fingers, just bully his way in and fuck Steve until he sobbed. Eddie wanted Steve to feel his cock in his guts for days.
Three songs later, their set was done and Eddie barely put his guitar away in its case before he was striding across the bar to where Steve was standing with the blond man.
Steve looked over at him as he approached, his smile almost timid under the heat of Eddie’s possessive gaze.
“Stevie!” Eddie said with a toothy grin as he practically boxed Steve in against the bar. “What’d you think?”
“You were amazing,” Steve said, his voice a little breathless as Eddie leaned into his space and pressed his pelvis against Steve’s hip, letting him feel just how badly he wanted him already.
Eddie turned to finally acknowledge the blond man, and this time he noticed a second man standing with them, his hand in the blond man’s back pocket.
“Who are your friends, Stevie?” Eddie asked in a sickeningly sweet voice and Steve blushed deeply.
“This is Tig and his boyfriend, Charlie,” Steve replied and Eddie’s head filled with static all over again.
Tig, the man who fucked Steve first, taught Steve how to suck cock, got Steve into metal music, the very man Eddie declared a nemesis that he hated.
“I’ve heard so much about you,” Eddie said, his tone perfectly pleasant in his opinion and Tig just smirked down at him.
“And I’ve heard lots about you,” Tig said knowingly, glancing at Steve. “Well before you guys finally got together, even.”
Now that had Eddie curious, but Steve kicked Tig's boot to shut him up. Tig stepped backward quickly and actually stuck his tongue out at Steve, revealing a tongue piercing. Looking back at Steve, Eddie’s mouth dropped open as he watched his boyfriend ogle the piece of hardware in Tig’s mouth.
Steve licked his lips as he looked at it, his eyes a bit hazy as he clearly thought about that piercing and what Tig likely did to him with it.
Eddie’s ears were ringing as Steve finalized plans for the next night with the other two men, and finally he was able to drag Steve to the dingy bathrooms at the back of the bar. Eddie barely got the door shut and locked behind them before he was devouring Steve’s mouth with a loud growl, hand curled tight in Steve’s hair.
His other hand made quick work of undoing his jeans and shoving them out of the way until his cock was free. With another growl, Eddie shoved Steve to his knees and his boyfriend immediately opened his mouth with a needy moan.
Eddie wasted no time pulling Steve onto his cock, guiding his perfect pink mouth up and down the hard length of it. Steve groaned at the rough treatment, his eyes fluttering when Eddie twisted his hand in his hair. With another possessive growl, Eddie buried his other hand into Steve’s hair and pulled until Steve whimpered and tears sprung to his eyes. Eddie fell back against the door, his bad leg shaking and threatening to buckle. Eddie wanted to scream; he was so frustrated, his head thumping against the door as he prepared to pull Steve off his cock before he collapsed.
He couldn’t even fuck his boyfriend’s throat in the bathroom of a seedy bar?
Without missing a beat, Steve crawled just a touch closer and then hoisted Eddie’s bad leg onto his shoulder. When Eddie looked down at him, Steve was looking up at him through damp lashes, the eyeliner smudged around his eyes and streaking his cheeks.
It was filthy, and perfect, and now they didn’t have to stop.
With a wicked grin, Eddie pulled Steve further onto his cock, hitting the back of his throat and making him gag which was still one of Eddie’s favourite noises.
Barely giving Steve enough time to recover, Eddie set a punishing pace for several thrusts before sliding his cock into his throat until Steve’s nose was buried in the hair at the base. Eddie loved to hold Steve there almost as much as Steve liked to shake with the effort of keeping his throat open while his breath ran out. Eddie loved the way Steve’s throat fluttered around his cock, the way Steve’s whole body would heave as his gag reflex was belatedly triggered. He loved the way the fingers wrapped around his thigh squeezed hard enough to bruise
Eddie was desperately close, so he pulled back to let Steve breathe again, and then he went back to fucking Steve’s mouth. Steve whimpered loudly, wantonly, his eyes rolling back as Eddie took what he wanted from him.
With a hiss, Eddie came hard and sudden, his cum painting Steve’s tongue before he bullied his cock as deep as he could to finish down Steve’s throat. Steve choked, his whole body shuddering with it, but when Eddie tried to pull him off, Steve refused to move.
Steve, the absolutely perfect boyfriend he was, sucked and swallowed around the cock in his mouth until Eddie was nearly sobbing with the stimulation. Only then did Steve let Eddie pull him off his dick.
When Eddie’s eyes focused on Steve’s face, he moaned at the sight of him with eyes half-lidded and smeared with black eyeliner, his chin coated in spit and cum. Steve openly played with the pool of spend still in his mouth before swallowing it loudly.
“Jesus, Eds, should’ve brought you out here to meet Tig a hell of a lot sooner,” Steve teased as he slid Eddie’s leg off his shoulder so he could stand. “You’re never that pushy.”
“Well, we’re not always in your slutty stomping grounds, now are we?” Eddie shot back and Steve just laughed.
“I was a slut in Hawkins too—”
“Not with other men though,” Eddie pouted, sniffing indignantly at Steve’s full laugh. Then Eddie started reaching for Steve’s pants. “C’mon, your turn.”
“Eds, you think you could just hold me with your cock down my throat and I wouldn’t fucking cream my pants?” Steve asked incredulously and that just had Eddie’s cock valiantly trying to wake back up.
“We should get back to the hotel,” Eddie said after a few moments.
Steve just smirked, raising an eyebrow. “Why’s that?” he asked knowingly.
“I need to make sure you have a decent limp to your step when we go to dinner at Tig’s tomorrow,” Eddie replied simply as he reached down between them to pull his pants back up his hips and do them up.
Steve just grinned and nodded, adjusting his pants a bit before practically carrying him out of the bathroom and then out of the bar.

If I Rescue You, Will You Rescue Me, Too? Part 8
Hello and happy spring holiday for those that celebrate it.
The boys get to Indy and immediately confess (I swear to god these two do not like drawing it out. The confession was SUPPOSED to be AFTER the concert but no...)
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3  Part 4 Part 5  Part 6  Part 7 
*
Robin was freaking out more than Steve was and Steve was really freaking out.
“All right,” she said, after some serious panicking on both their parts. “I think it’s time we call in the big guns.”
Steve nodded and Robin left to go make the call.
Fifteen minutes later, Nancy arrived.
Steve gave her a hug in greeting. “Thanks for coming. I’m on the verge of a panic attack and need to make sure I’m not forgetting anything. I just want this weekend to be perfect.”
Nancy smiled. “I’ve got you covered. I contacted everyone involved and cross checked everything they told me and came up with a list. I also contacted Wayne and he’s coming over with all of Eddie’s things as well.”
Steve nodded and did everything she said. He packed up the car carefully and then when Wayne arrived she pulled everything out and carefully catelogued everything. Once she was satisfied, Nancy allowed them to pack it in the car.
Then she made Steve sit down and write an itinerary with her so that he knew where he was supposed to be when. She knew that he thrived on schedules and made sure he had one with enough wiggle room in case things changed.
He took a deep breath and looked at the three other people. “I just need assurances I’m not going to fuck this up.”
Robin came up and kissed his cheek. “You’re only panicking now because it hasn’t started yet. Once you pick him up, it will be all Harrington charm from here on in.”
Nancy hugged him. “She’s right. You know what to do. You are an amazing boyfriend. You just needed the right person.”
Steve nodded. “Do you really think he’s the right person?”
She smiled up at him. “I really do.”
The two girls left, leaving Steve alone with Wayne.
“All I ask is that you treat him right,” Wayne said. “And you’ve already got one hell of a head start on that front. Just be yourself, Steve. He’s already head over heels in love with you.”
“I’ll try my best,” Steve said softly.
Wayne gave him a hug, too. “You’ll do fine.”
And then was gone.
Steve locked the house behind him and drove to the hospital.
*
Eddie was waiting for Steve in the patient pick up and god, he looked gorgeous. All right so what if Steve was bias. But seeing Eddie standing there in ripped jeans, a Mercyful Fate t-shirt, and his new leather jacket, was like a breath of fresh air.
This was the Eddie Steve had fallen in love with. And he couldn’t wait to start the weekend with him.
Steve rolled down the passenger window. “Hey, handsome. You need a ride?”
Eddie burst out laughing. “Dude, if that’s your idea of a pick up line, I fear for the intelligence of the women of Hawkins.”
Steve laughed too and pushed open the door for him. “Nah, but you looked like you needed the laugh.”
“Thanks,” Eddie said, buckling himself in. “So Indy, huh?”
Steve pulled out into traffic. “You think being all cute is going to get me to spill the beans on this surprise, don’t you?”
Eddie cocked his head. “It’s always worked on Uncle Wayne.”
“Of course it did,” Steve said, shaking his head fondly. “Because I was freaking out this morning, we’re going to get into Indy with only enough time for dinner and drinks before bed.”
“You got a fake ID I don’t know about, Stevie?” Eddie asked, eyeing him sidelong.
Steve rolled his eyes. “Of course I do, how do you think I bought all that booze for all my parties, dude?” Eddie cocked his head, nodding. “But it’s not going to be needed for this.”
Eddie reached over to turn on the radio but Steve shook his head. “Open the glove box. You’ll find tapes in there.”
“Steve,” Eddie said, “we are not listening to your music this whole fucking trip. I will murder you.”
Steve rolled his eyes again. “We aren’t. Now would you just open the god damn glove box, please?”
Eddie sighed and did as he was told. There were about five cassettes in there. Two were Iron Maiden, one was Metallica, one was Dio, and the last was Black Sabbath.
“Holy shit, dude,” he murmured. “Where did you get these?”
“Your Uncle Wayne,” Steve admitted. “They’re yours. All he could salvage from the wreckage, but they should last the weekend.”
Eddie teared up. “Fuck. Thanks, Stevie.”
He opened up the Dio tape first and put it in. “Be prepared for the education of your life, sweetheart.”
Steve smiled over at him. “I can’t wait.”
*
They arrived at the hotel and Steve got their luggage out. He tossed his keys to the valet driver and handed the luggage to the bus boy.
“Room 2122,” Steve told him and tipped him a fiver. The bus boy nodded and went to the elevators.
“Eddie Munson and guest checking in,” Steve said to the receptionist at the front desk.
She nodded and then handed Steve two keys. “Enjoy your stay!”
Eddie never felt more out of place in his entire life, but dutifully followed behind Steve.
They got onto the elevator and Eddie pursed him lips. “So...who exactly is paying for all this if it’s not you?”
Steve fought down his smile. “You’ll see. After dinner.”
Eddie just shook his head.
Steve handed him a key. “This one is for you. In case we get separated or something.”
Eddie nodded and let Steve use his key to unlock their room. It was a VIP suite.
And only one bed.
Granted the thing was huge. But still the thought of sharing with Eddie sent a thrill down Steve’s spine.
Their luggage was next to the bed waiting for them.
Steve looked at his watch. “We’ve got time for both of us to get a shower before dinner.”
“Is there a reason I need to shower, sweetheart?” Eddie asked, raising an eyebrow.
“You’ll want to, yes,” Steve said, still not giving anything away. “The clothes on top in your luggage is what you’ll want to wear tonight. The dinner jacket included.”
Eddie frowned but took the bag Steve handed him. He walked into the bathroom and gasped.
The bathroom itself was bigger than his old trailer. It glittered in white marble and brass fastenings. There was a shower, but there was also a bathtub the size of a Jacuzzi. He would have to wait until tomorrow to try that one out as apparently they were on a time table tonight.
He stripped down and got into the shower. The hot water was pure bliss after days of being on the run and being in the hospital. He washed his hair with the shampoo and condition provided and relished the silky feel. He gently cleaned his wounds (NO SCRUBBING) but scrubbed the rest of him. He grimaced at the dirt that coated the bottom of the shower and then floated away down the drain.
He got out of the shower and patted his wounds dry. He was able to the put the gauze on the wounds but he was having trouble wrapping them. He couldn’t even get dressed with this being done first. There was no helping it. He wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out to the main room.
“Steve?” he asked timidly, holding on to the towel for dear life.
Steve looked down the trail of water before snapping back to Eddie’s eyes. Eddie licked his teeth slowly. That was interesting. Very interesting indeed. Steve spotted the bandage in his hand.
“Oh! I should have realized,” he said coming over to take the bandage from him. “Here, let me do that for you.”
Eddie blushed. “Where do you want me?”
Steve pursed his lips. “I think you’ll need to stand for the torso, but then you can sit on the bed for me to do the neck.”
Eddie nodded, pressing his lips together and tried very, very hard not to get aroused with Steve on his knees in front of him.
Steve worked quickly and was lurching to his feet in no time at all. Eddie was beginning to wonder if maybe Steve had been thinking the same thing Eddie was about Steve being on his knees.
“All done,” Steve said after clearing his throat. “On the bed.”
Eddie quirked an eyebrow. “You know, pretty boy, you really shouldn’t say things you don’t mean.”
Steve frowned and then turned bright red. “I wouldn’t suck you off while you were standing, man. That would be uncomfortable for both parties involved.”
Eddie’s other eyebrow shot up to join the first. “In what way?”
Steve looked him dead in the eye said. “I wouldn’t be able to get good enough traction as there wouldn’t be anything to push against.”
Eddie’s brain went off line and Steve deftly moved him over to the bed and sat him down. He had almost finished binding Eddie’s neck, when the boy finally came back online.
“I didn’t realize you did that sort of thing,” Eddie said, shyly.
Steve shrugged. “I haven’t, yet. Just recently realized I’m into guys. But I’ve gone down on girls and I doubt it’s much different.”
Eddie’s jaw dropped as Steve finished the bandaging.
“And it doesn’t bother you that you’re shacking up with a gay man for the weekend?”
Steve frowned. “Why would it?”
Eddie wagged his eyebrows. “Sharing a bed, alone in this magnificent hotel room, room service on the house, alcohol flowing freely. Aren’t you worry we might get up to something naughty?”
Steve gently lifted Eddie’s chin and he gasped in pain. “And that’s why nothing’s happening this weekend, sunshine. But make no mistake, in a month or so when that has had time to heal...I’ll do whatever your great mind can possibly come up with.”
Eddie gulped. “Noted, Stevie. Heal first, fuck later.”
Steve smiled down at him. “I didn’t say kissing was off the table.”
Eddie grinned. “Is that so? Well, then you better pucker up, big boy and show me what you’ve got.”
Steve leaned down and gently pressed his lips to Eddie’s. Every nerve ending that was shot to hell because of the bites lit up like they were on fire.
Once Steve pulled back, Eddie asked, “Was this weekend one great big excuse to woo me, sweetheart?”
Steve laughed. “Mostly that, but a little bit ‘oops we’re sorry you got dragged into hell’ from everyone else too.”
Eddie’s eyes went wide. “What? Really?”
“I got some help from your friends,” Steve said a started counting them off on his fingers, “Robin, Nancy, Dustin, Dustin’s mom. But the rest of it? All me, sunshine.”
“And just what is all this, sweetheart?” Eddie asked, batting his lashes.
Steve bapped his nose. “Nice try, Eds. I’m not telling you shit.” He looked at his watch. “We’ve got about a half hour before dinner, which is just long enough for me to get my shower. Do you need help dressing or just with the bandages?”
Eddie huffed out a laugh. “Just bandages. I think I would die of embarrassment first before I let you dress me before we’ve had sex, Stevie.”
Steve chuckled. “Have it your way.”
He swapped Eddie’s things in the bathroom for his own, letting Eddie get dressed while he was in the shower.
He came out, hair dried and styled, completely dressed to see Eddie standing there looking awkwardly down at the floor.
He tugged at the hem of his dinner jacket. “Are you sure I have to wear this? I mean the rest of my outfit is still pretty causal.”
Eddie was referring of course to the tight black jeans (no rips in the knees or elsewhere), the shined up combat boots, and the black band tee. He had his wallet chain already attached to the belt loops.
Steve was too stunned to answer. Eddie looked good.
Eddie lifted his head to see him standing there, slack jawed and absolutely beautiful. Steve was in a plain black tee and dinner jacket, with nice slacks and shiny, white sneakers.
He looked back down at the dinner jacket. “Right, I take that back. Definitely essential wear if you’re dressed like that.”
Steve blushed. “We’re going to be dinning in the hotel restaurant, believe me when you see how everyone else is dressed, you’ll be grateful for the jacket.”
Eddie nodded. “Shall we go?”
“Just one more thing,” Steve said and went to his luggage. He pulled something out of the front pocket and stepped behind Eddie. He gently brushed Eddie’s hair aside and fastened the necklace.
Eddie looked down at it and gasped. “My lucky pick!”
“Dustin found it when he went back to the trailer to find a way to transport you back to the real world,” he explained, stepping back around so that they were face to face. “I figured you’d want it back.”
Eddie nodded, pressing his lips together. Steve kissed his lips softly.
“Come on, it’s time for dinner.”

A New Year's Eve to Remember
(dean Winchester X you)
No warnings just fluff 🥰
Tumblr media
Y/n had always admired Dean Winchester from afar. She was captivated by his rugged charm, his fearless attitude, and the undeniable allure of the hunter's life. Now, with New Year's Eve just around the corner, Y/n couldn't shake the idea of spending the night with Dean. Gathering her nerves, she summoned the courage to ask him to be her date for the evening.
"Dean," she began hesitantly, "would you do me the honor of being my date for New Year's Eve?"
Dean glanced up from his magazine, surprise evident in his eyes. "Really, Y/n? You want me as your date?"
Y/n nodded, a blush creeping up her cheeks. "Yes, Dean. You're an incredible person, and spending the evening with you would mean the world to me."
Dean scratched his head, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Well, I gotta admit, that's a tempting offer. Alright, you've got yourself a date, Y/n."
Her heart raced with excitement as Y/n imagined spending the most magical night of the year with the man of her dreams. She had always envisioned Dean in his customary leather jacket, but as the day approached, an unexpected desire emerged within her.
On the night of the New Year's Eve party, Dean arrived at Y/n's door donning an unexpected surprise—a sleek black tuxedo. Y/n's eyes widened in awe at the sight of him, feeling a sudden burst of passion ignite deep within her for the handsome hunter.
Tumblr media
"Dean, you look absolutely breathtaking," she managed to whisper, her voice filled with adoration.
Dean smiled, his green eyes gleaming. "I wanted to do something special for you, Y/n. You deserve it."
As Y/n closed the door behind her, she revealed her dress—a stunning midnight-blue gown that accentuated her curves perfectly. Dean couldn't take his eyes off her, his lips parting in awe.
Tumblr media
"You look amazing, Y/n," he breathed, unable to tear his gaze away from her.
As the night unfolded, Dean and Y/n danced under the twinkling lights, their chemistry sparking like fireworks in the starlit sky. They laughed, they shared stories, and they connected on a deeper level than either of them had expected.
Caught up in the magic of the evening, Y/n couldn't help but notice the way Dean's eyes never strayed from her. His touch was electric, his words filled with sincerity. It was as if the universe had conspired to bring them together on this unforgettable night.
When the clock struck midnight and the room erupted in cheers, Dean's hand found Y/n's, and they shared a lingering, passionate kiss. In that moment, they both knew that this night was just the beginning of something extraordinary.
As the New Year began, Y/n and Dean embarked on a journey neither of them could have anticipated. Their love blossomed, intertwining their lives in ways they never thought possible. Together, they faced the trials and tribulations of the hunter's world, always supporting and protecting each other.
And every New Year's Eve, as the clock neared midnight, Dean would slip into that tuxedo once again, igniting the passion within him for the woman who had captured his heart. Y/n would step into her enchanting gown, feeling a surge of love for the man who had become her everything.
They would dance under the sparkling sky, celebrating not just the passing of time but the eternity they had found in each other's arms. And in that moment, they knew that their love would forever burn brighter than any firework, illuminating their lives with a love that was both timeless and true.

Continuing my journey through combining my two obsessions - perfume and The Libertines. In this edition, fragrances directly linked to the band in various ways.
London by Burberry - Notes of Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Musk and Sandalwood. Released in 2006. This is for lovers - of London. The imagery around this chic and clean little affair has always been a romantic postcard to the city that birthed it, and the iconic checked Burberry fabric wrapped around the bottle itself speaks to the rebirth of that heritage trend made edgy and new - most beautifully showcased in the infamous prison gates photos in 2003, where Peter and Carl each wore a matching Burberry trench and passed a Burberry scarf between them. Fake, probably, but that iconography was the absolute height of indie rock fashion.
Bluebell by Penhaligon's - Notes of Lily-of-the-Valley, Cyclamen, Cloves and Cinnamon. Released in 1978. Widely reported as a favourite perfume of Kate Moss during the time she and Peter were dating. I may not be much of a fan of hers, but who didn't want to know what Pete Doherty's girlfriend smelled like? Earthy, with its crushed flowers and herbs, a tad exclusive, with it's fancy lineage and posh price, but genuinely vintage - this was the exact sort of scent an indie girl in the 2000s picked if she wanted to stand out from the crowd.
Opium Pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent - Notes of Black Currant, Star Anise, Bourbon Vanilla and Cedar. Released in 1995. Named by Peter as his favourite fragrance in the 2000s. I've never known if he was kidding, given the name - but this is a scent that absolutely suits him, and is my favourite for men of all time. Opening with bright, juicy berries, drying down into sweet vanilla and rich spice, it's an addictive potion that suits its moniker and defies the astringent, bathroom cleaner trend in men's fragrance with a high fashion dazzle that takes some courage to wear.
Bottega Veneta by Bottega Veneta - Notes of Bergamot, Jasmine, Leather and Patchouli. Released in 2011. This is a personal entry, as it's the one perfume that has gotten me a compliment from a Libertine. I am an aggressive over-sprayer, but only this one has elicited a comment, from Carl, after he embraced me following the Sharabang gig in 2018. "You smell amazing!" he said, to which I replied, "I think it's the leather", meaning the leather notes in the fragrance. "Leather?" he replied, completely confused. I didn't get a chance to elaborate, but this is indeed a leather bomb - loud like a brand new jacket, or better yet luxurious heels straight out of their box, with the crisp deliciousness of bergamot making it syrupy and lending a mouth-watering air. Tragically discontinued.
Comme des Garcons 2 Man by Comme des Garcons - Notes of Smoke, Betiver, Saffron, Leather and Incense. Released in 2004. One of the fragrances Carl mentioned wearing in the 2000s. A churchy, waxy, smoky scent that brings to mind a snuffed candle and is very evocative of the year it was released. Makes absolute sense that it's one he'd enjoy, leaning both into an esoteric side with it's midnight potions of nutmeg and mint, and a rock 'n' roll core with it's leather and incense - reminiscent of the intoxicating mix of sweat, tobacco and leather you'll find sticking to a musician fresh off a stage.
Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens - Notes of Resin, Amber, Myrrh, Benzoin, Sandalwood, Vanilla and Myrtle. Released in 1993. Opulent, gothic and very warm, this unisex fragrance is another Carl listed as a favourite back in the day. If 2 Man is churchy, this one is culty. Again, it suits him - it's like festival hippy oil taken to it's most concentrated conclusion. I don't know if he still wears either of these - he smelled great in Melbourne in 2018, but when I asked what he had on, he joked, "Lynx Africa!" then denied he was wearing anything. Likewise, Peter arrived at the Hackney gig in 2019 smelling deliciously of something very like Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, but when I asked him what he had on, he just said, "I smell like a polecat".

AAAAAA I've always thought about a lover and doing 11 from the June asks with them. Can I request for 11 with Druig?
A/N - this is brilliant for Druig! Thanks for requesting this, anon!
Remember
Summary - Druig loves how you love to read
Tumblr media
Warnings - Just some cute fluff
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Alright, what do we have here?” 
You placed the box of books on the countertop in front of the cashier, seeing her peer over her glasses and look at what was inside the cardboard box.  The bookshop was not as crowded that morning, some patrons that were already reading in the usual sitting corners and a few others were looking up and down aisle with some books under their arms.  
This was your favorite store, mostly because the owner has had it for decades and was a staple in the community.  You’ve been coming to this little shop solely because of the donations that the store would take, including books with annotations.  Being a writer and reader that put in annotations yourself, you were happy that the owner was wiling to take your old books, knowing most of the bookstores that you have gone too in the past.  Some of them were simply sticklers, you being turned away a few times because of your notes and highlighted area.
But this place was now your safe haven, turning in your old books for new ones that were new arrivals.  Not to mention the owner was a kinder lady, a fan of annotations herself and gave great recommendations for new books.  She was an older women, her knowledge of literature was amazing and you would talk with her every once in awhile about authors and new reading trends that were out in the literature world. 
The owner, affectionally named Greta, was now smiling from seeing the drawings along the side, etched in crayon and marker.  You giggled.
“Sorry, my nephew Jack got his hands on the box,” You explained, “These are some of my olds books that I wish to donate to make room for some new ones in my office,”
“Ah!  A good donation no doubt from the looks of it. I see some read works in here, why on earth would you get them go?” The owner asked in curiosity.  You were about to answer her when your boyfriend Druig leaned on the counter next to you and used his casually smirk on the wonder.
“I asked her the very same thing, and yet she thinks we can let theses precious gems go.  How sad is that, eh?” He asked her, the owner chuckled as she took out every book to look over and check for damages.  You gave him a knowing stare, to which he was giving one back to you in return.  You flicked the collar on his leather jacket while Greta was shifting through every novel.
“You wanted to come with me on this trip just to scold me in front of Greta?” You teased him as he grabbed some of the pieces of candy that was in a small display plate near the cash registry.  He popped them in his mouth, cocking his head at you.
“Merely just to make sure you’re parting with the right ones,” He replied in a drawl in his tone, Greta chuckling from her spot as she finally looked up from the box to the pair of you.
“This is a marvelous, these will find great homes for certain.  Also, I would love to look through some of the annotations that are in here if tat’s alright?” She asked you.
“Of course you can,” You hummed, “Do you have any new donated books that I can look at?” 
“You know where they are,” Greta replied, pointing to a small little area next to the register that had the sign “New Donated Arrivals” on the top of the shelf.  You walked along, Druig trailing behind you like a lost puppy dog.  You were seeing the spines of the book already out and ready to be gazed at, your eyes moving instantly to read each title on each shelf while Druig was now perched against the shelf, watching you go to work in find some new books to read.
“I know your birthday is comin’ up, and our anniversary too,” Druig commend as you were already grabbing one novel off the shelf to thumb though, you were humming to show that you were listening as he went on, “And I think you should consider getting a kindle or an iPad with all the readin’ you’re doin’ these days,”
“And I shall tell you the same thing I have told you before: no thank you my love,” You replied, placing the book back on the shelf to grab another one, “I’m a book purist, you should know that by now,”
“I do, and I know one of these days your shelf is going to buckle at your apartment with all the books you have,” Druig commented, you smirking as you knew he was telling the truth, “Just think about it, okay?  Makkair loves her kindle, she uses it all the time!”
“I know she does,” You said as you gave him small smile, “But nothing beats having a real book in your hands, breathing in the pages and seeing all the work that was placed in these books for others to read and enjoy,”
Druig smiled upon hearing that.  He knew you loved books, craved them, and adored them more than anything else that would entertain you.  Ever since you two met, he never met another person who loved books and was invested in books.  Especially when it came to wiring notes on the side or highlighted passages.  
“Why do you do that?” He asked one time as you two were snuggled together on your couch at your place, a month into dating each other.  You had a blue highlighter in hand, tracing over a new lines and passages as you shrugged.
“I’ll look back at them when I wanna read them again,” You replied, “They’re written for a reason, right?  So I want to remember them, always,”
 After a few more minutes, you got about three more books.  Walking up to Greta, you were getting ready to pull out your wallet before Druig already handed the cash over before you could.  You looked at him with a hint of shock, Druig smiling and kissing your head as Greta was ringing up the books.
“Your early birthday gift,” He said to you as he took the bags of books in hand, then lacing your fingers together.
Tumblr media
A week later, you were done with the current book that was the last on your reading stack at your apartment.  The rain had come that day, which was perfect of you to do some reading.  The three books from the bookstore that Druig bought you was waiting for you to read on your end table near your couch, you rearranging your spot on the couch before grabbing the top book.  It was worn from the previous owner, you loved that texture under your fingers as you opened the first page.  
Yet you were surprised that there was a note there, a note in Druig’s handwriting.
Made some notes in this book that reminded me of you.  Happy birthday my love.
~D
You skimmed through the pages, clearly seeing places where Druig highlighted in bright yellow or scribbled in his writing along the side with arrows pointing to paragraphs and words.  You felt your heart swell from the sight, realizing that Druig might have read this before you could.  He might have snuck it away to read while you were finishing the last current book, making his own notes and annotations.  
This was new for Druig since you knew he was near one to be as obsessed with books like you were.  He would rather get you a kindle, make your life easier and simpler for your hobby.  Yet he never pushed it, seeing the books pile up around your bedroom and living room yet realizing that they build up your soul and your mind.  He loved that about you, and he would never wish to diminish it or make it less.  
Now you saw he was adding to it.  
You read that book slowly then, watching Druig’s handwriting on the page guide you along the story that was inside.
The End

Chapter 25: Two Matriarchs (NORMAL P.O.V.)
Sitting at my desk, I clicked off and deactivated my connection to the B.S.A.A. terminals. Chris was clearly not in a good place and needed some comfort. I hope Barry, Claire, or the copy of my plans against Spencer would soothe him.
As I waited for Albert to arrive with that harpy Excella , I decided it would be best to have Agent Nighthawk in the office as backup. Did I think Albert would allow me to get hurt? No, no, I did not. I just think a little intimidation would be helpful.
I pressed the button on my comm choker, activating it.
"Agent Nighthawk respond." I ordered.
"Yes, commander?" His voice responded quickly.
"Come to my office. I have a feeling the new visitor will be trouble, and I would like your assistance in the matter as my backup." I said, standing up from my chair and walking over the marbled ebony cabinets in the corner of my office.
"YES, MAM!" He said loudly.
"No need to shout hun. See you soon." I ended the comm link.
Opening up the cabinet, I pulled out a tray with a vintage light blue decanter with gold angel fish with six matching glasses. Inside the decanter was Pheonix Corps. special strawberry brandy. I also had an unopened imported bottle of Kunohs orange osmanthus wine as well as an unopened bottle Disaronno and Johnnie Walker blue label, which I knew was Albert's favorite. Pulling them out of their hidey hole, I placed them on the tray as well.
Carefully, I brought the drinking set out and placed it on my desk. Tucking away my keyboard, laptop, as well as the monitors. I placed the cups along the desk. With utmost care, I covered the desk and drinking set with a black silk sheet. The proper meet and greet was more important, and if it went well, drinks would be served.
"I am here, m'lady." Nighthawk said, entering my office holding a five gallon bucket of ice,"White Queen said you would need ice, so I grabbed you a big bucket full from the kitchen before I came to your office."
The kid smiled. His unruly neck lenght blonde hair was slicked back almost how Wesk normally had his. He was wearing a charcoal grey jacket with an aquamarine tee shirt, black jeans, and his standard issued combat boots.
"Wow! kid, you're looking sharp today. This is perfect. I want to see your files from project a.c.r.o.h. you look so much like my husband it's shocking." I said, taking the bucket of ice from him," please take a seat. Archer will be here soon with Albert and that bitch Excella. However, my plan is simple, and you'll see that soon enough. Now, if you'll turn around so I can get changed."
Agent Nighthawk turns and faces the wall. I quickly changed into my battle suit that was crafted from carbon nanotubes and spider silk. Perfectly bulletproof and stylish to boot. I placed my corrective purple shades on as well as my black leather duster coat embroidered with blue silk flames. I pulled my long deep brown hair up into a ponytail. Lastly, I stepped into black snake skin three inch wedge heel boots.
"OK... Hawk, you can turn around now. I'm ready for this meet and greet with Ms. Gionne, " I said, walking over to him.
"That's good, m'lady, and it seems they are almost here." He said, pointing at the window, revealing Albert and Arjuna walking up the stairs being followed by Excella and Steve.
I quickly zipped over to my big office chair and sat down. Turning away from the door, I gazed over set agent Nighthawk and motioned for him to come stand next to me. He followed the order I silently provided in just the nick of time.
White Queen appeared as the door opened. Archer walked in first, followed by Wesker and Steve. Excella walked in last.
"Albert, where is this asset you keep bringing up? I must admit the Pheonix Corps. is an amazing organization, but would they help us with oroboros. They seemed to be aligned with the UN." She stated.
White Queen spoke up, "All of your questions will be answered here in a moment. Arjuna, please introduce our lady to Ms. Gionne."
Archer smiled and bowed, "Yes, White Queen, welcome to the final room of our tour. The heart of Pheonix Corps, this is the office of our mistress. The former vice captain of the Raccoon City special tactics and rescue services Alpha team, Umbrellas former top researcher in vaccines and anti viral procedures, UBSC Agent number seven hundred forty-eight, goddess of the new world and wife to commander Albert Wesker, our matron and leader, the Pheonix herself, Lady Tabitha Ellise Redfield Wesker."
I turned in my chair and stood up. Brushing my bangs away from my eyes. My wicked smirk plastered across my face as I stared deep into Excella's horrified eyes.
"So.... so... you were?"shuddered out Excella.
"NOT so much of a filthy mutt now am I deary. Hahaha.... worry not, dear heart. I hold nothing against you. I could have killed you the moment I laid my eyes on you, but I didn't. After all, that's not what my daughter Alistar would want. I understand you found her corpse. I want to thank you for being her home to me and Albert." I took off my shades, revealing the deep blue sapphire like eyes.
Albert walked forward and stood next to me, "Excella, my dearheart here has a deal for you."
"What is this deal? What what can she give me that I don't already have? I have Albert and our research. I don't need anything more. So tell me what you can offer me?" She huffed, turning around, starting to walk out.
"Well, how about me not exposing Tricells' recent transgressions against the UNs anti bioterrist regulations." She turned around, horrified as the realization just hit her.
"You wouldn't dare! do you know who i am. No one would turn in trecell over
petty reason, like not building a work relationship." She said, walking towards me.
I laughed, amused, "If you think I'm not that petty, just ask Wesk. However, I have damn near infinite resources and connections as well from the B.S.A.A., the connections, even Nato and the UN. I have decades of research from umbrella and access to files that Wesker doesn't. I'm currently have an army of around two thousand soldiers, all with B.O.W. training. To think you would think I studied up on you when I found out about irving was connected to Tricell. Born to the Gionne family, Excella was a child prodigy. Graduating from high school at the ripe age of sixteen and college at twenty. She gained a bachelor of science degree majoring in genetic engineering. Valedictorian at that. Now you are an assistant to my power-hungry sadist of a husband. I love him dearly, but I can tell you, and I share that fact in common. Now I'll cut you a deal, one that will be hard to refuse."
I saw Albert smirk.
"Gentlemen, let's give my dear lotus and Excella some privacy." Wesker said, motioning for the men to leave.
"No need, Albert. I want to make sure you hear what is said. That way, I know she'll stay loyal to this contract. You did tell me she's loyal to you to a fault. Let me hear this deal you've concocted. " Excella smirked, sitting in one of the chairs.
"Simple and straight to the point, I like that. This is a four part deal, and I'll have the legal team draw up the contract for three parts. The last piece will be between me and you, Excella." I said, sitting back down in my office chair.
"But of course, I'm not an idiot. Now, let's hear these terms." She said in a very business manner.
"First of we don't rat each other out to the UN, B.S.A.A or any other authority." I said.
"That's very much agreeable." She said seething, "What else would you like out of this?".
"We share resources between Tricell and Phoenix Corps. This will include but not be limited to research, viral stabilizers, soldiers, the works, whatever you need that we can provide, and the same co yndition is applied to you at tricell." I stated, grabbing a dark blue fountain pen and paper writing out the conditions and signing by each one.
"I promise you the resourses of my branch of Tricell,and I'll contact my family and have the other branches reach out as well." She said, signing next to each of my signatures.
"Lastly of the main terms, we stay out of others' way and try to rule side by side the new world uroboros will usher in for us." I said, standing up and extending my hand out.
She stood up and took my hand in hers, "Then it's settled."
"Not quite. All but Archer leave this room now that's an order. Albert, I'll discuss this with you later, but for now, this is my base. You will listen to me. " I said, pointing to the door, "Do you have any objections, Ms. Gionne?"
"Yes, I'd rather have Albert in here rather than one of your flunkies. It's only fair since you are his wife, after all." She smirked.
"Excella, I will stay, but first let me talk to my dearest lotus in the hall." He said, pulling me out the door.
When we were in the hall, Albert backed me into a wall and pressed his lips against my neck. Pinning my shoulders, he stared into my eyes. He flashed his signature smirk with his eyes glowing. His cologne rolled into my nostrils.
"Since when did you become such a devilish negotiator, my dear lotus flower." Albert murmured into my neck, planting a kiss on my lips mere seconds after speaking.
"Being Sergei's lapdog for all those years did have some advantages. Like learning how to manipulate the situation. However, you my love, are still leagues better than I. Now I'm going to offer her a deal she can't refuse for her to possibly be our third. Then, when we are ready to cut her lose, we test uroboros on her. The final test of her worthiness." I let out a dark chuckle,"but we both know what we will find there."
"My lotus's petals have really darkened. Let's go finish this negotiation, I have a treat for you when this is over." He said, lifting me into a gentle kiss searing with ferocity.
I could tell he was holding back. The sadist I know he was was loving the fact I had to play nice with his chosen subordinate. I had to be his delicate  little flower, who obeyed his every command. He had a lot to learn about the new me.
I followed Wesk back into the room. A smirk wide on my face. Excella seemed interested in what I had under the black silk sheet.  I swiftly took my seat, ripping off the black cloth revealing the beverages.
I poured Excella and I a drink from the strawberry brandy and Albert a drink from the  Johnnie Walker, " Arjuna, Steve, agent Nighthawk, please leave us. I'll call ya'll back over my comm link." I said as the young men left the room.
"Now, what is the last part of this deal that you are proposing?" She asked as Albert slinks up behind her and strokes her face,"Albert!?"
"Isn't it obvious? Excella, my wife is being kind enough to share me with you, but only if you prove your loyalty to us."
"Does that mean? I'll be able to be with you, Albert?" She asked with a shocked expression.
"Only if you truly prove to be a partner to us." I said, handing her a glass of brandy, "Not just him but to me as well."
She gulped fear dripping from her brow as she took the glass i started to offer. "And let me guess, this is the only chance I have of getting with you, isn't it?" She looked up at Wesk.
He simply smirked and stood behind me. Placing a hand on my shoulder, he spoke,"This is all up to my dear lotus, Excella. Prove yourself to her, and your dreams may become a reality." He pulled my hair back, giving me a deep, passion filled kiss, "and from what I've seen,  you have a long way to go."
"Unless you'd rather always be alone except those boy toy interns you keep around." I said, sipping my brandy smuggly.
She gulped once again and raised her glass," I accept these conditions."
"To us, the Matriarchs of the Pheonix Corps. and Tricell." I said raising my glass while handing Albert his  scotch,"and the hierarchy of the new world."
Hey everyone sliva here quite the twist no? Relax this is not an Excella x reader or Excella x wesker fic. I have plans that run deep for this story. I am giving an advanced warning the next chapter will be dark. There will be  two separate cases of torturing. There will be manipulation. There will be gore blood and not good situations. You have been warned for now. I'll also have proper trigger warnings before each part.
My name is Silfarianhawk, and I'm not so far away.

April 3, 2022.
It takes a good two months before a year starts to pick up for me. The first big win was in the final frigid day of February when I decided to take the train to Greenpoint’s Academy Annex for some records; the first stop of what would be an amazing record-store victory tour. Then arrived March. I drove four miles to the shopping mall to look for leather jackets when I discovered a new retro- video arcade opened up. Within a few days I walk in and spent the entire day re-living my Atari / Nintendo / SNES youth. Those eight hours were a thoroughly exhaustive one. I saw games which I threw many rolls of quarters into, to others I only read about and fantasized even seeing up until then. The original Super Mario Bros. cabinet, The Neo Geo MVS, Outrun, R-Type, Taito’s Superman, Atari’s Star Wars. Most of every great moment of my youth spent in delis, card stores, ice cream parlors, long-gone restaurants, and amusement parks were now all in one room.
Good thing I went because my all-time favorite ginger April* made a rare appearance in my store and I had to tell her about it. She came in to buy some A/V components like she always does and we spent a good ten minutes catching up on everything. April was a fangirl and a hardcore gamer of all formats so I had to share the wealth of news with her. Too late. She already went. Still, every visit from her counted as she was the cutest thing of pale skin, glasses, and Irish ancestry I ever seen.
I had another holiday spent with my Coney Island family. My aunt invited me to her daughter’s house in East Meadow for Easter where they, her aggressive right-wing country-music loving Trump supporter sons, her sister, and all the offspring you could think of would be there. A great four hours were had coloring eggs, watching Disney’s Encanto on the big screen, and an endless feast of Italian food were laid out for all to gorge ourselves to death. Blessings were counted and they were enough to cash them in for a bright sunny Sunday. I also enjoyed the hour-long drive from East Meadow through Rt. 27 all the way home.
In between all this was a major event I was chasing for a while. It would be nice to attend a Boy Harsher show and they’ve been making the rounds in New York City quite often. I jumped at the opportunity to purchase tickets after their Halloween show and ultimately got them - only for January show to be postponed. Blame the COVID- omicron for it. But Jae & Augustus pushed it back to April and this time nothing was stopping them from performing nor anyone attending The Music Hall Of Williamsburg.
I learned that it was a two-hour ride each way from my line to Penn Station and back due to transfers at the Jamaica Station. Not good as I had to work a 10AM shift. This time, I opted to drive out to the Babylon stop for a direct line to Manhattan and back for fifty-five minutes each. I went up the stairs and waited only a few minutes before the train arrived on an elevated platform. Nothing special about the train ride on a cloudy mid-50* weather. The show, however, was a whole other story. Everyone enjoyed the opener Twin Tribes and the headlining Boy Harsher hands-down to great fanfare. I couldn’t have waited in line to get some merch- as, once again, someone had to ride home for tomorrow’s payday.
I reversed the path from The Music Hall- by taking the L and ½/3 line back to Penn Station. It just so happened that I missed my train home by three minutes and it cost me an hour more before the next one came in. As I mentioned before, no transfers. Just a direct line from Penn Station back to Babylon where the double-decker cars awaited us. A nice surprise for me sitting in the seats above to contemplate my next major win: Sacred Bones’ 15th anniversary show. It could only get better.
Fifteen years ago from this month, a new concept was born. I purchased a 30GB iPod Classic through a ‘friend’ of mine at WUSB. Since then, I loaded all of my music into it and took it through many train rides. The iPod Classic has retired in favor of my iPhone SE. What once became a distraction has now been an auditioning process for future Omega WUSB shows and seasonal personal playlists. Nothing is off limits. Noise, backpacker, jazz, fusion, shoegaze, noise rock, post-punk, electronics, hardcore - everything. Everything I discover gets played in hopes of either being featured or forever a part of me. With a near endless plethora of outlets, mutuals, and other ways of obtaining music, there’s almost never a moment of silence outside of work or sleep.
