Tumblr media
The rain was pouring down with no regrets. It had been like this for a few days. And still, the bar business was booming. It was a cold Friday evening in October and Eden was done. She had been on her feet since around six in the morning and she just wanted to cuddle herself into her blanket on her small couch at home.
It wasn’t like she despised her job at the bar, but she just couldn’t feel her feet anymore. She had been pouring beer into glasses for five hours straight and there was seemingly no end. Every time she thought she had a second to herself, the next person ordered something.
On the light side, she also really hadn’t had the time to think about anything outside of work, which was the exact reason why she went for the job. She had been living in Los Angeles for about three months now. Three months of none-stop working. Three months of keeping her mind of reality.
She was doing better than she had originally thought.
As she was giving a woman her change, she noticed how the door opened. She always noticed when the door opened and she surely always noticed him. A young man in his early twenties entered the bar and shook his head for a second to get rid of the excess water in his hair. Eden felt like she could breathe for a second.
When the man lifted his gaze again, he quickly was met with Eden’s exhausted but welcoming smile.
“Eden!” The man beamed. “Thank God, you are here. I thought, you weren’t working today.”
“I’m always working, Nick.” She answered the man, as he approached the bar and set down on one of the chairs. He leaned a bit towards her with a smug smile on his face. “The same as usual.” – “Everything for you, Nick.”
She poured another beer into the glass before turning back to him and setting the drink in front of him. She didn’t even have to tell him what it cost, the money already laying on the counter, “Keep the change.”
Eden smiled to herself. Her day just got better.
“How has your week been?” Nick asked her, before sipping on his beer. Eden sighed.
“Pretty good.” She said, as she always did. “Yours?”
“A lot of stuff with the band.” He answered.
Right, the band. She knew he was the drummer of this metal band. Sometimes she forgot Nick was somewhat popular.
Eden nodded, before being called to the other side of the counter to yet pour another beer. When she went back to Nick afterwards, he was quick to gift her a sweet smile.
“What are you doing tomorrow?" Nick asked her interested.
“The same as always. Cuddling on my couch and watching some movies.” She answered him and he looked shocked. “But it’s your birthday!” – “That is the reason why I’m doing nothing out of the usual.”
Nick shook his head. “It’s also Halloween, Sunshine.” Eden smiled a little at the nickname Nick had given her other the last couple of weeks. She knew it couldn't be further from the truth, but she enjoyed the image Nick seemed to have of her in his head.
“Don’t make it even worse than it already is.” Eden breathed out, not even sure if Nick heard it over the noise that filled the room.
Eden hated her birthday. It was a hard reminder of the time just slipping through her fingers. To her, it was even worse that she was also born on a national holiday. And if that wasn’t enough, she also had her name tied to said holiday. While her name was representing some kind of delight or place of pleasure, her parents had chosen that name for her, because they thought it sounded mysterious and spooky. Fitting for Halloween.
“Oh, come on.” Nick exclaimed, snapping her out of her thoughts. She blinked at him for a second, waiting for him to continue his sentence. “Enjoy yourself for once.”
Eden rolled her eyes. As much as Nick was a delight to her, she also hated his happy spirit in moments like this.
“Okay, hear me out.” Nick said, when he saw her facial expression. “A good friend of mine is celebrating his birthday tomorrow. You should come. This way, nobody will focus on you, you can enjoy my company outside of work for once and you’re out of your little hobbit-house for once.”
Eden tapped her fingers against the counter and started to think. It had been about the fifth time that Nick tried to get her to do something with him. Since now, she had always turned him down. Not, that she didn’t want to see him, she just was scared. She liked being alone. She liked being to herself. She didn’t even speak to anyone outside of work, except her sister and her parents, but even that contact was strongly limited by her. Nick was the only one she would call somewhat a friend.
Eden ran a hand through her hair and then over her face. She was going to regret this. She just knew it.
“Okay… Just once.” She gave in and Nick clapped his hands together in excitement.
“Fucking finally!” He exclaimed. “I was really starting to think, you hated me.”
“I do not, and you know that.” She reassured him before taking another order. When she was ready with the customer, Nick’s beer was empty. She allowed herself to look at the clock that was hanging over the entrance of the bar. Her shift would end in half an hour.
“So, where should I go tomorrow?" She asked Nick, who was still smiling to himself.
“Give me your phone number and I’ll text you the address.” He answered her and reached his hand out, waiting for her phone.
For a second, she simply looked at his hand. He was getting bold.
She sighed in defense and pulled her phone from her pants to hand it to him.
Right when he handed it back, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Her boss Michael looked at her. “You can go. Anna will be here in a second.”
Eden nodded, before looking at Nick again, who stood to his feet, also ready to head out.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” She exclaimed, before Nick nodded at her with a smile and left.
“The guy is cute.” Michael said to her, and she smiled a little. “Yeah, he is also a total pain in the ass.”
Michael only shrug his shoulders, before wishing her a good night and soon Eden was in her car.
It didn’t take her long to reach her apartment. She had been lucky, getting a flat close to her work. When she reached her front door and opened it, she sighed at the familiar sight of her home. Things hadn’t been easy the last couple of months. After moving to the other side of the country, she was just happy to have some peace again. She liked not living in that old house anymore, back at her hometown. Everything reminded her of her pain back there.
Not even twenty minutes later, she fell onto her couch, a bowl of instant noodles in her hand and some sitcom playing in the background, when her phone vibrated. Three messages from an unknown number.
She opened them.
?: Hey, here is Nick.
?: The party starts at 8, you have to come in a custome
?: [adress attached]
That's when it hit her.
She agreed to go to a party with a man, she barely knew, even though he was the closest she had to a friend in LA.
She was definitely going to regret it.

Softly Know Me - Nick Folio x Josie (OFC)
Tumblr media
Paring: Nick Folio x Josie(OFC) Warnings: Swearing, Handjobs (M receiving), Oral Sex (M receiving) Word Count: 2.2k Note: This is my first time writing Folio, so please be patient with me. That being said: all bodies are beautiful and worthy of love.
Tumblr media
Nick wakes to Josie’s hand slithering down his chest. Her touch is barely there, just enough to tease. It drifts across his belly and lower still. Part of him wants to stop her again. They’ve been here a couple of times. But he’s always shut her down – gently, but he can tell that it’s starting to wear her down.
He’s gotten her off with his hands and tongue, but never — it’s a little embarrassing. There just isn’t a lot there, and the last time he got this close to a girl, she practically fled at the sight of him. She’d up and left the hotel room as soon as he’d made her cum on his fingers, once again leaving him to deal with his needs on his own. 
Nick’s quite alright with it on most days, it’s nothing he’s usually very shy about, but right now it feels awfully daunting. Things with Josie have been so good. It’s still new, but he’s hopeful. And he doesn’t want her to see him and suddenly realise that he isn’t man enough for her. He’s heard enough of that. 
Nick steels himself as her hand drifts even lower. Her palm comes to cover the front of his boxers, and Nick waits for her to retract her hand again. But it never comes. Her hand rests there for a moment, before she finally gives a bit of pressure. It’s nauseating. 
“Baby.” He hums, half as a warning and half out of pleasure. 
She presses a kiss to his bare shoulder, “This okay?”
“Y-yes.”
He feels his breath catch in his throat when she presses against him a little firmer. She continues like this for what feels like ages. The touch of his own hand doesn’t compare to how it feels to have her touch on him. He lets out a sigh when she removes her hand from him and sits up. 
“Can I see you?” She asks so softly. 
He doesn’t have it in him to say no to her. Not when she’s been so gentle with him, makes him feel so safe. Nick knows that she won’t be mad if he says no. He’s stopped her before, and she’s never been upset. In retrospect, he does feel a little bad about how cagey he was about it all before. 
But despite the little bit of fear that still bubbles up in his belly, Nick shuffles out of his boxers. He takes a deep breath before he pushes the duvet down, baring himself to her entirely. 
She doesn’t flee, doesn’t sound surprised or shocked. Instead, she lets out a pretty little sigh, as she brings her hand to the top of his thigh. 
“I want you to know that I don’t care that it’s not big or whatever. You’ve always made me feel so good, and I want to make you feel good, too.” She leans up to kiss him, all soft and sweet. 
Heat rises in his chest. He doesn’t want to say no this time. He nods, not trusting himself to speak. 
“Can I touch?” Josie asks, her face still laced with a faint trace of worry. 
He gives a quiet yes in reply. 
She kisses him again, and really, he doesn’t know why he’s been so hesitant before. 
Josie trails her lips down his neck and chest, hands gentle drifting along his sides as she does. And to think that he’s been starving himself off something so indulgent. No one’s ever been so soft with him. It’s always been rushed and quick and over so soon. Josie takes her time descending down the length of his body. She gives him the same gentle touch that he’s awarded her before. And to be on the receiving end of something so gentle is a little dizzying. 
Still, Nick can’t help himself. The nerves return when she reaches his belly. He feels his breath hitch with anxiety when she places a soft little kiss against his hip bone. 
Josie looks up at him, “You don’t have to be nervous, baby.” 
Her hand comes to rest against his waist. The weight and pressure of it soothes his nerves, at least a little. 
“If you want to stop, tell me. We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. If it’s too much, let me know and we can stop. You’re in charge.”
“Please don’t stop.” He chokes out the words, forcing himself to look at her across the expanse of his body. 
“Good.” she smiles up at him, before she presses another kiss to his belly. 
Josie sits up again. The fabric of her sleep shirt rides up, putting her thighs on display for him. Memories of her thighs clamping down against the sides of his head rush through his mind, and he can almost feel his fingers digging into her skin. 
His eyes press shut when her hand wraps around him. Despite the fact that her hand is quite a bit smaller than his, it still covers all of him. 
It’s a little nauseating. 
Josie’s hand feels so much softer around him, it’s warmer, too. She keeps her hand still for a moment while she lets him get used to the sensation. Her other hand still rests against his waist. 
The time until she starts to move her hand feels eternal. Nick can’t stop himself from moaning when her thumb drifts across the head of his cock. He forces his eyes open, makes himself look at her, because he absolutely has to see her. 
She briefly removes her hand from him to lick across her palm, and the motion makes him a little dizzy. Josie’s eyes are fixed on where her hand is wrapped around him. Her lips are parted just enough for him to see her tongue dart out to wet them.
It’s all so much. It’s not just that he isn’t really used to this kind of touch from someone else, but seeing her so evidently affected by it too makes him feel all sorts of things. Nick can just see her pressing her thighs together out of the corner of his vision. He’s seen her squirm like this before. She writhes so prettily for him when he has his lips on her neck and his fingers between her thighs. This is beyond his imagination. 
She scoots back a little and while he’d love for her to remain as close as she’d been before, he has his hopes for what will come next. And she doesn’t disappoint. 
She bends down, drags her tongue across the head of his cock. And if he weren’t so wound up already, he’d be embarrassed by the moan that falls from him. He feels her hand flex against his thigh in response. And when her lips wrap around him, he swears that his vision whites out for a moment. The wet warmth of her mouth is overwhelming. He hadn’t dared to imagine what it would feel like. 
Nick brings a shaking hand into her hair. Most of it is still held up by the tie she’d wrought into it before they’d gone to bed, but a couple of the strands had long fallen free and now hang loosely around her face. 
She looks up at him for a second, lips still around his cock. He really doesn't know what he’d been so scared of. Josie begins a slow up and down along his shaft. He can’t look away. The sight has him entirely entranced. No matter how overwhelming the feeling is, he doesn’t want to tear his eyes away from her.  
He’d heard the others talk about it. Heard them boast about how good their girls were, and he’d always stayed silent, made vague allusions so that none of them would question it. Nick had never thought that it would actually be this good. 
His grip in her hair tightens, as he tries to think of anything but how good her mouth feels on him. He tries to count the days he has left until they go on tour again, tries to remember the cities they’ll go to, just to draw it out a little bit longer. He’s sure that he’s long lost control of the words and sounds that escape him. Not that it matters. 
It’s about then that Nick notices that her hand isn’t resting against his thigh any more. His eyes follow the line of her body, only to find her hand buried between her thighs. He can’t stop his hips from bucking up against her. She pulls off him, hand instantly coming to cover him again. 
The breathless heaving of her chest makes him feel dizzier by the second. Her cheeks are flushed bright pink, lips spit-slicked, as her eyes find his. 
“Good?” she asks, and the little glint in her eyes sends a shiver through him. 
Nick draws in a deep breath, to steady himself, “More than good.” 
Josie looks so pleased with herself. 
The slow, teasing pace of her hand makes him feel as if he’s being pulled apart bit by bit. 
“So fucking good.” he sighs. 
His eyes rake across her body until he finds her hand still pressed against herself, “Do you want help with that?”
His hand finds her thigh, gently pressing into her skin to get to part them a little more. She scoots forward a bit, opening herself just a bit more for him. For a second, he watches fingers circling over her clit. He knows just how wet she gets when he plays with her like that. He crowds two fingers in next to hers, dipping them into her just enough to feel the pooling wetness. Josie makes a pretty little sound somewhere between a whine and moan. 
He has to get a taste of her, has to feel her all pressed up against his face and tongue. 
“Josie.” he digs his fingers deeper into the meat of her thigh, “Can I get a taste of you? Please baby.” 
“This is supposed to be about you.” She scolds.
“And I want your pussy on my face.” Nick finally feels a bit of his confidence returning to him, “Come on, pretty girl. Let me taste you.”
“Be patient, honey. Let me take care of you first.” She smoothes her hand across his chest and tummy, “You can have whatever you want afterwards.”
She returns her attention to his aching cock. Before he knows it, her mouth is back on him. It’s so wet and warm and oh it’s so much. His head spins with it. 
Nick doesn’t know how much longer he will last, not when her mouth feels this good around him. Her name is a prayer on his lips. Nick finds himself entirely lost in how she feels. He doesn’t know where to touch first, he wants to feel all of her. His hand roams across her back, gently urging her on. 
His entire body feels as if it's cursing with electricity. Every fibre of his being stands on edge as he tumbles towards his climax. It hits him almost out of nowhere. The force and intensity of it is unlike anything he’s felt so far. He can feel his back lifting off the mattress as she works him through it so diligently. He feels his release spill across her tongue and worst of all he can see her swallow. 
Nick can’t watch any more. His head drops back against the pillow as his eyes fall shut. His chest heaves with heavy breaths. Nick’s head swims with a range of emotions. The overwhelming sense of pleasure that still runs wild, but there’s an underlying wave of relief that washes over him. 
He feels Josie’s fingers drift across the skin of his chest. Nick looks up at her. The softness on her face makes him feel all warm inside. Somehow, she looks even prettier now. She comes down to kiss him again, her hand all warm and soft against the side of his face. 
“How are you feeling, honey?” her hand remains resting against his face. 
Her touch is always so comforting, so soft. 
Nick doesn't know why he was so scared of this. Josie’s never given him reason to doubt her.
He nods, “I’m…good. Thank you for this.” 
“Thank you for trusting me.” her thumb drifts across his cheek, “I meant what I said. I don’t care about your size. You’ve always been so good to me, why would that make you less?”
He’ll tell her about the girls that came before her later. There’ll be enough time for that on a different day. 
Instead, Nick wraps an arm around her, to pull her close against his chest. The longer he keeps her close like this, the more he can drag her inevitable departure out. He hates that their days are always numbered. One of them always has to leave, and he wishes that he could just keep her here. He doesn’t know if it’s too soon to ask her to leave everything she has in New York behind. He doesn’t even know if she’d want that. 
And hours later, when they’ve actually crawled out of bed and find themselves on the back porch of his house with their morning coffees, he can’t find himself asking for more.

It’s complicated, my darling - The Prologue
Tumblr media
“Ada is an operative in the 1940s from Brighton in England, sent over to New York City to work with the Americans, uncovering secrets and spying on potential suspects. She meets a handsome young man, Nick Folio, on the train into the city; little does she know how that moment would change the trajectory of her life”
Parings: Nick folio X OFC
Word count: 1.4K
Chapter Warnings: brief hinting at death, explicit language
Series master list
(see masterlist for overall warnings, chapter begins below the cut)
Ada
May 19th 1941
New York City, USA
8:23 am
Dear Diary,
Spring is coming any day now, the chill has died off and flowers are beginning to bloom, but I’ll say the air here in America feels a bit thicker when you’re not by the sea. Oh, I miss the seaside, Dad says they closed the beaches back in Brighton last year after Dunkirk, it was too dangerous to keep them open. It’s a shame, our Peggy loved the beach. We used to buy her a 99 and take a walk down the pier watching the seagulls nick a chip out of an unsuspecting victim’s hand. This one time, Peggy laughed so hard she dropped her ice cream and made me and the old man march back down the pier to buy her a new one, just to do the walk up the pier all over again. I would give anything to see her smile again but for now, it’s back to business aye? 
Speaking of business, my dick of a boss, John, back in England assigned me a new mission yesterday. Something about money being stolen from one of the precincts in the city? I'm not sure, I haven’t gotten all the details yet but I guess I’ll find out more in today’s briefing at the head office. 
Anyway, must be off. My train into the city should be here any minute now and God knows my grumpy sod of a boss will have my head if I’m late to another meeting. 
Talk soon.
__________________
“Excuse me, ma’am, would you mind if I sit here? All the other seats are taken”
You avert your eyes from the book you’ve been engrossed in for the past 10 minutes; “The So Blue Marble” by Dorothy B. Hughes, a truly riveting thriller novel. Bookmarking your page, your gaze meets the handsome young chap standing before you.
“Oh yes of course, please, sit down” He’s a rather handsome fellow, clean-shaven with his hair slicked with a side part, perfectly framing his chiselled jaw. Heat flushes across your cheeks and you can’t help but feel a little flustered as he takes a seat in front of you.
“Thank you, Ma’am” He extends his arm for a handshake.
“Please, call me Ada”
“A pleasure, Ada” You can’t help but notice his peculiar accent, it appears to be a southern accent of sorts but you can’t quite place it.
“Is that a southern accent I hear- oh sorry, I didn’t ask your name?”
“Ah no, Maryland although I do get that a lot, and no worries. The name’s Nick but everyone calls me Folio” You tilt your head ever so slightly at the nickname, wondering how that came to be. As if he already knew your next question, he smiles.
“My surname Is Folio, there’s another Nick amongst my friends so over time I just became Folio”
“Aah makes sense. Well, it’s lovely to meet you, Folio” You flash a smile, trying your best not to blush too hard.
“Judging by your accent, you’re from England I assume? What brings you to America, New York City at that?”. It’s the dreaded question you always fear to answer. Although you’re trained to lie, to be deceitful, you can’t help but feel a little guilty each time you respond to that question. It’s not easy to live your life pretending to be someone you’re not, half of the time you’re not even sure what’s real anymore; but that’s the job. Everyone is doing what they can to help the war effort, you included and if that means putting up a facade each day, then so be it.
“My family evacuated from England, we would’ve gone to Canada but my brother is deployed here in the States” You feel your heart drop to your stomach. This isn’t a complete lie; your mother and youngest sister, Mary and Agnes, did evacuate from England, but the ship carrying them to Canada took a devastating blow and ultimately sunk; the total casualties are still unknown. No one knows the whereabouts of your brother, Dennis. You received a telegram in July last year to notify that he was M.I.A when he didn’t return to base with his aircrew. So, no, it wasn’t a complete lie but you have to carry the sadness on your own.
“So, what will a gorgeous lady like you be doing in the city? ” He leans forward on the table, raising his left eyebrow. His words make your heartbeat speed up a million miles an hour. Of course, he doesn’t know the real reason you’re in the city but a little fun can’t hurt, right?
“I’m looking around for a job but most businesses are shut and I’m not first aid trained, so that’s pretty much any job out of the question” Another lie.
“Well, I can’t give you a job but If you ever want some company, please feel free to come down to the 13th precinct. I’d be happy to keep you company” His flirtatious manner doesn’t go unnoticed, nothing overly forward but enough to make your face burn up. A high-pitched whistle blows outside of the train and it isn’t until you see passengers standing up collecting their belongings from the overhead shelves that you realise you’ve reached your destination. You both walk off of the train onto the platform, pushing through the crowd of busybodies.
“Well I must be going, I’ve got some job interviews lined up today. It was lovely meeting you, Folio”
“You too, Ada. Good luck with the interviews, I’m sure you’ll find something soon”. Folio, once again, extends his arm for a handshake. Saying your goodbyes, you make your way along the path towards the north exit gate but your attention is averted as you hear that familiar, not-so-southern, voice.
“I hope you take me up on that offer, Ada!”. He bellows. Turning on your heels, you chuckle thinking about the gorgeously mysterious man you just met.
__________________
“Ah right on time Chapman, makes a change. I was beginning to wonder if that pretty face of yours knew how to tell the time” Alfred, your other male chauvinist pig of a boss, says as you walk into the meeting room.
“Morning Alfred, Sir” Oh how you’d love nothing more than to punch his disgusting, smug face, but you need this job and you need the money, especially if you want to get your dad and Peggy over here in the States.
“As John mentioned to you yesterday, he has assigned you a new mission. The higher-ups believe that someone in the 13th precinct is stealing money from their funding-”
“Sorry to interrupt you, sir, but did you say the 13th precinct?” This can’t be possible, surely not?
“For fuck sake Ada, maybe if you spent less time dressing like a whore and more time paying attention you would’ve heard me. Yes, I said the 13th precinct now shut up and listen” Anger rises through your body as he berates you in front of your team, but you take a deep breath, reminding yourself not to give him the satisfaction of a reaction.
“Sorry, sir. Please continue”
“As I was saying, you will be tracking one man. We believe he is acting alone, stealing money to put into an offshore account. You will be working at the precinct undercover as an accountant, you will need to keep track of all the money that goes in and out of their accounts. You’ll be given a written brief with more details. Make sure to read it thoroughly after the meeting ends, if that’s even possible for that empty fucking head of yours. We will go over the target’s name and description so everyone is aware of exactly who the suspect is”. Annie, Alfred’s assistant, hands out copies of the brief around the table.
Flipping over the first page, which details the goal of the mission, you see the name of the suspect.
“Fuck” Is all you can mutter out under your breath as you stare at the page, mouth agape in disbelief.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me” There’s no denying the name and image that’s staring right back at you. Is this a sick joke? A punishment for leaving your family behind?
“Billy, can you please read out the suspect’s name and character description” A part of you still hopes that you’re imagining what you’re seeing in front of you.
“Nick Folio, sir”
There’s no such thing as fate, but the universe has a funny way of deciding it for you.

As I get out of my car, I see nothing but darkness. It was late by the time I pulled in. All I can hear are the animals being vocal. My boyfriend Nick invited me to his family’s cabin. It was an exhausting three hour long trip. 
Nick came bounding down the stairs with a big smile on his face, “Hey babe. Glad you made it here safe. I’m sorry I wasn't able to drive up here with you. There was a problem with the shower so I had to come and fix it up.” He greets me with a kiss. 
I smile excitedly and kiss him back “Hi baby. I’m glad I finally made it. No worries. Were you able to fix the issue?”
He grabbed both of my bags with one hand. How he managed the strength? I couldn’t say. 
“Oh yeah. It took about half of the day but I got it all fixed up. Plus I needed everything to be perfect for when you got here” he winked at me as he went inside the cabin.
I blushed. My cheeks turned a vibrant red in hue as I followed him, “It’s going to be perfect because we are going to be together.” Closing  the door and walking into the living room, “wow this place is nice. Feels very homey.” My eyes gleamed with warmth. 
“Are you ready to just relax this weekend?” Nick said softly, grazing my cheek with this thumb as he passed by me walking into the living room.
Sitting on the green sofa, he looked so content. I turn to look at him with a big smile, getting up from my spot on the lounge chair to go sit next to him.
“Yes. School has me wanting to rip out my hair. It's just been so hectic with studying for finals. It has me on the verge of a breakdown. But I am so glad to be here with you. With that, that also means no school and work talk anymore.”
Gently  putting  his arm around me, I nestled under the crook of his arm. I looked up at him longingly, he placed a  kiss on my forehead, “Sounds like a plan babe. I forgot to mention that being up here, we don't get very good or any signal and the wifi has been out for a couple of days. I got an email about that before I came up here. I have been trying to get someone up here but it's been difficult.”
Leaning into his arm, I joked, “well that sucks. How am I supposed to let my family and friends know that I haven't been kidnapped or killed?” 
Nick throws his head back and lets out a loud laugh, “Don't worry. I’ll protect you from anything Michelle.”
—------------------Line Break—------------------------------------------------------
While cooking dinner, I pour myself a glass of whiskey. Whiskey was my weakness. Hennessy and a lot of bad decisions. 
 Nick shouted from the living room “I'm going to go take a shower. I'll be back.” He left for the bathroom. Once I hear the shower start, I put my phone on the speaker and play some music.
There was a knock at the door. It was loud and echoed through the house. I was Confused. We weren’t expecting anyone. I went and opened it half way, peeking my head out. “Hello. Can I help you?”
A woman with long black hair, yellow beanie snug on her head. She was short in stature and whispered low while looking down at her shoes. “I'm looking for Jamie.” 
I couldn't see her face because of the porch light. It was too bright, I responded with a scowl. “I'm sorry there is no Jamie here.”
She asked me again, more demanding while keeping her head down  “Is Jamie here?”  
I sighed, already fed up. “There's no Jamie here. I already told you.”
The woman brought her head up to look me in the eyes, her gaze penetrating. “Okay. Whatever you say.” Slowly began walking away from the door. 
I closed and locked it shut. Walking towards the kitchen. Another knock is heard from the door. 
Frustrated, I turn back over towards it, peeking through the peephole. 
Christ, these people. Slowly reopening it, I was greeted with a different female this time. I couldn't make out her features but was only able to see her short and crimson locks. 
She quietly says as she looks down to the heels of my feet.  “Is Jamie here?”
I look at her, irritation steering through my veins. “Look I told your friend that there is no Jamie here. So leave before I call the police.”
The girl replies “okay.” She slowly looks up at me for a couple seconds and walks off. 
Closing and locking the door with a sigh, Nick asked from behind me “who was that?” 
I  jumped and turned to face him, “You almost gave me a heart attack. I don't know who that was. It was a strange chick looking for someone named Jamie. It was weird.” Shaking my head at the thought. Maybe I was losing it.  “Anyways, dinner is ready. Let's go eat.”
As we eat our dinner, Nick looks up from his plate, placing his fork on mine, fiddling with my carrots.  “How was the drive up here?” Did you enjoy it or was it too much for you?” He was never one for a quiet dinner, rambunctious by nature. 
I look at him with a bright smile, all teeth.  “The drive was okay. I'm not a fan of long drives but this one was manageable. It was peaceful.” 
Nick gave me a goofy grin. I melted internally as he grabbed my hand and placed to his lips leaving me a tender kiss, “You know i wouldn’t torture you with a very long trip.”
 I chuckled, taking his hand in return. “How very thoughtful of you, baby.”
I start gathering the dishes and take them to the kitchen. I place them on the sink looking out the kitchen window, I see a person standing near the trees. Confused, I called out for Nick “hey babe! Come here please”
Nick walks into the kitchen “what's up?” he goes over to me and puts his arm around my waist. 
“There is someone out there. I saw someone standing near that tree” I turn to look at him
Nick turns to look out the window “I don't see anyone out there babe. Maybe it's just the drink getting to you.” He looks at me and smirks 
I roll my eyes and move away from him “I only had half a cup. I swear to you I saw someone out there.”
As soon as he opened his mouth to reply to me there was a loud bang coming from the front door. 
Nick goes to the front door and opens it only to be greeted by no one there. Confused, he looks around and goes back inside “that was weird. There was no one there.”
I shrug and go back to the kitchen. I see that my phone isn't on the counter, confused. I start looking around for it “babe have you seen my phone? I left it near the counter when I was cooking and it's not there.” 
Nick leans against the door frame “no i haven't seen it. Are you sure you left it there? Maybe you just misplaced it.”
Looking at him annoyed, I answer “No Nicholas. I didn't misplace it. I know where I left it at. It couldn't just get up and walk away from me.”
Nick “I'll help you look for it. I'm sure it's around here. Like you said I don't think it got up and just left.” he looks around the living room.
I walk into the bedroom and look around for it. I get on the floor to look under the bed when I see a pair of feet on the other side of the bed. I see the person wearing black dress pants and black boots. Confusion running through my head, I sit up and look up to find no one there. 
“Nick come here please” I say from the bedroom while getting up. Nick walks into the bedroom “yes Michelle?” I look down to his pants and his shoes and see that he is wearing black levis and all black nike air max 90s. 
Nick smirks at me “baby if you want something you just gotta say it, you don't have to be a tease about it” he sits on the edge of the bed close to me. 
I roll my eyes “have you always been wearing those shoes or did you just change them?” 
Nick replies “I have always been wearing these shoes. Why?” I look at him horror flashing through me making me get goosebumps “I I think someone is in here. When I was looking for my phone under the bed, I looked across and I saw a pair of legs. The person was wearing boots”
“Are you sure? The only people here are us. I would think we would have been able to hear if someone came in here. Again, you need to stop watching horror movies” Nick says as looks at me 
Frustrated I responded “I swear on anything I saw someone standing on the other side of the bed. Stop gaslighting me Nicholas. I'm so close to leaving you here. I still can't find my phone.” 
Nick sighs “I'm sorry. Please forgive  me?” he pouts and brings me close to him.
I smile and kiss him “I guess I can accept your apology Folio. You are going to have to make it up” I put my hands on his shoulders as I stood between his legs.
Nick looks up at me and smirks “you don't have to tell me. I have thought of every way I am going to make it up to you baby.” 
Just as I was about to lean down to kiss him, the lights were cut off. I gasped in horror not knowing what could have caused this. 
Nick looks at me “well that's strange. I'm going to go to the garage to get some flashlights. I’ll be back babe.” He says as he makes his way out of the room to the garage.
I make my way to the living room to see if I can find some candles. I hear a tapping sound coming from the back door. Confused, I make my way to the back door, pull open the curtain when I'm greeted by a girl in a mask holding a knife. I scream and back up.
 As I'm running to the bedroom, I see a shadow down the hall. I gasp and run into the bathroom and lock the door. I go inside the bathtub and sit. I bring my knees up to my chest. Crying and shaking out of fear, I look at the door. I see it being shaked and pulled. I cry even more. 
The door gets kicked open and the shadow gets close to me. “Michelle, what are you doing here?”
 Nick asked me while standing near the bathtub. When I hear his voice, I get up and encircle his waist.  “Oh Nick. I saw someone outside holding a knife and I don't know if it was the same person b b but I saw someone in the hallway. I want to leave. Please, I want to go home.” I plead.
 Nick sighs and holds me tightly in muscular arms, “Alright, Alright. Let's go back home. Let's start packing” He goes to the bedroom.
“No! I don't care about my stuff. I just want to get out of here!” I get out of the bathroom and go to the living room. Nick follows me “What is going on with you? There is no one else besides us here” I turn to look at him and see someone standing a few feet away from him. I scream. 
Nick turns around and backs up to me “who are you!” he calls out. The masked person walked to us slowly. It was the same girl that was tapping the window. 
Nick holds my hand and runs out the front door to the car. I held and ran with him. As we got to the car there was a masked man standing near it. He had a ski mask and was fairly tall. He was holding a lighter in his hand. As fast as we saw the lighter in his hand was just as fast as he threw it to the car making it light up. 
Nick looks at the car “fuck. We ran back inside. As soon as Nick closed the door an ax came down on it. Screaming, I backed away from the door. Nick ran to me and turned to look at me. With his hands, he grabbed my face looking at me.
 “I need you to go hide for me, okay? I have a weapon in the garage and I need to go get it. I'm going to come right back for you. I love you” he kisses me softly and lets go of me and makes his way out of the room.
 I grab his hand to stop him “Nick I want to go with you please. I don't want to be left alone here.” Nick looks at me “it will be okay. I promise you. Everything will be fine Michelle.” I let go of his arm “please be careful Nick.” I say to him as he walks out of the backdoor. I follow behind him slowly watching him till he gets to the garage. Suddenly I hear a noise near the garage thinking that Nick could have gotten hurt, I go out and start walking towards it. 
Once I get close to it I see that there is a girl standing there in a pin up mask. I look at her out of fear and start walking backwards. As I take my steps she starts walking towards me. I turn to run and she walks behind me. 
I ran into the house and hid in a closet. I cover my mouth to keep any noises from coming out of me. I suddenly see a silhouette standing across the closet door. 
Suddenly the door gets pulled open and there is a girl wearing a doll mask standing in front of me. I let out a horrified scream.
 Trying to run past her, she slices my arm with her knife. I ran to the living room. As soon as I got to it, I saw a man in a mask dragging Nick by the shirt and tossing him into the middle of the living room. Nick is beaten and bloody.
 I gasp and go to kneel beside him and hold him. I cry and look at him. The three masked strangers stand in front of us next to each other. The masked man squats down to look at us.
 I look at him and say “Why are you doing this? Why us?” He looks at me with a smile and says “because you are here and you answered the door.” He stands up and stands next to the other two girls.
The masked man looks at both of the girls and says “It's time”. He takes out a knife and looks at Nick and I. The room is silent except for the sobs that are leaving my mouth. 
“Please don't do this. Please. You can take whatever you want. I-I promise I won't say anything to anyone.” I plead to them. 
The girl in the pin up mask takes it off and throws it on the ground. Next to take off their mask is the girl wearing the doll mask. 
The last one to take off their mask is the guy in the ski mask. He stands out to me the most because he looks familiar. 
Nick looks at me and says “I'm sorry this had to be done.” 
He gets up and stands next to the girl with the long black hair. He wipes the blood from his lip with the back of his hand and takes the knife that the guy gives to him. I look at him shocked and confused and angry not knowing what to do. 
“I I don't understand. Why?- Wait- you’re apart of this? Why did you do this?” 
Nick looks at me expressionless. “Because you were so different from the rest, don't you get it? You sweet, sweet dumb girl. You were a mere ploy, a means to an end.”
 I look at him shocked. “You don't mean that, I don't believe you!” 
Nick goes to me and squats in front of me “you don't have to” He traces the knife along my jawline. 
I look at him with a terrified expression and whisper “Nicholas, don't do this please.” I beg him crying on my knees. He leaned so close to me, his lip grazing my ear and whispered,  “Nicholas isn't here right now, please leave a message after the beep.” 
Three long beats go by and he leans back to look at me. I look at him and see his pupils are dilated.His eyes are no longer the light brown that I know, all I see is darkness showing no emotion. No love. No worries. Nothing. 
Nick looks at me with an evil smirk and grabs my jaw, squeezing it hard, he licks his lips and said;  
“You look so delicious like this, so weak and defenseless. Makes me want to put on a show before you lose.” 
I look at him angry and spit at him “Fuck you Nick! I hate you!” Nick laughs and wipes the spit from his face with the back of his hand, “those are some nice last words you have to say baby.” I try to move his hand from my jawline but he's stronger than me.
 He lets go and pushes me back, making me fall back onto the floor. I turn to see that one by one the strangers are leaving the cabin. Nick stands over me and knees down to straddle me. 
His knees are on either side of my hips. Eyes locked on mine as he spoke harshly,  “You know, I wasn't lying when I said that you were different from the rest. You were my favorite one.”
 I look up at him screaming, a guttural and loud growl erupts. “Please! Nick please! Don't do this! I-I promise I won't say anything to anyone!” I kicked my legs and hit him on the chest. 
Nick takes one last look at me and pushes the knife right above my right breast. I scream in horror and try to fight him off of me. 
Nick pushes it deeper and takes it out. As he takes the knife out,  blood starts seeping out and spilling on my shirt and on the floor. 
Specks of blood land on his arms. He stabs me a couple more times and gets up to look down at me. I open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out. I roll over onto my stomach and cry. 
Trying to crawl away from him, he grabs me by the foot pulling me back. I turn to him to look at him, still on my stomach as tears fall down my face, I whisper “I love you Nick”. As those words leave my mouth, no emotion is being shown by him. 
I close my eyes to not look at him. Remembering all the happy memories we shared together. He brings down the knife stabbing me on the back. 
Nick takes out the knife, setting it on the kitchen counter. He takes one last look at me before walking out of the cabin. He gets into a car with the three strangers. 
Taking off. I open my eyes and look around to make sure he isn't around anymore. I get up slowly and make my way to the kitchen, seeing my phone on the counter as if it was never missing. 
My hands shake as I pick it up making a phone call. Hearing the dial tone on the other side, I take a deep breath.
911 what's your emergency?....

Sing A Song For California
Tumblr media
Nick Folio x Ofc (Mel) Content Warnings: oral sex, hair pulling, unprotected sex (don't be dumb like these guys, wrap it up) Contains sexual situations with a fictionalized version of a real person. This is fiction. None of this happened. If this isn't your thing though, then hit the back button or scroll on. So, this started as a smut prompt (found here) request from an anon for Folio with the prompt of Louder/Quieter and it uh, kinda took on a life of its own. Sorry about that. This is a follow up to All We've Got's Tonight and happens to be PolyVerse adjacent. Seriously, I don't know why I'm like this. But anyways. Have at it! And dear anon, I hope you enjoy.

~~~
<NF> So, you're in L.A., huh?
Mel looks up, confused, swings her head around to see she can spot him, but he's nowhere to be found. 
<Mel> … You stalking me Nick Folio?
<NF> And if I am?
<Mel> I own pepper spray, you know
<NF> Hah. I promise to behave
I may have been checking out your Instagram… and what a coincidence, we're in the same city.
Her cheeks heat. She hasn't seen him since he convinced her to come to his show, days after they met. It's been awhile, months in fact, but it's hard to forget how his hands felt on her body, the heat of him against her. It doesn't help that every now and then she gets a text, or a dm on Instagram; just to check in, say hi. She's very proud of herself for keeping it casual, for not going any deeper, as if she were trying to build something. 
<Mel> That is quite the coincidence.
<NF> Would it be too much to ask if I could see you?
It shouldn't be such a complicated question to answer, but it is. If Mel's honest with herself, she wouldn't mind seeing him again; has thought of that night plenty of times in the dark of her bedroom when she's feeling lonely. Not that she'd let him know that. 
<Mel> That's bold of you. For all you know, I could be here with a boyfriend.
She isn’t. She’s been in town visiting her sister this week, but he doesn’t need to know that. 
<NF> You got a boyfriend, honey?
Honey. The word spreads heat through her. She can still hear the almost taunting way he said it after he left a hickey on her neck. Can see the self-satisfied smirk on his face, proud of the proof they'd been together that'd stay even after he was gone. He's got a possessive streak, she thinks, and she doesn't know if it stokes the fire, or gets on her nerves more. 
<Mel> …No. But the thought of you squirming a bit was worth it.
Even though it's probably not the smartest decision, Mel gives in; gives in to the pull in her gut. She might be mad at herself for it in the morning, but that's tomorrow's problem.
<Mel> … When would you have in mind?
~~
They meet at some restaurant Mel knows she won't remember the name of. It's awkward, or at least it is on her side; it feels more like a date than she thinks it should. The place is casual, and she appreciates that, but it still seems a little much for something they both know is just going to end with sex. As loath as she is to admit it though, she missed him, missed his stupid face and the ways he can make her laugh. 
There's a get-together tonight, at his bandmates' house, and he wants her to come, if you want to. It's said in a rush, almost like he's afraid she'll say no, and it's cute; how nervous he seems. Mel says yes, in the end, because why not? She's already here, sitting at this table with him… and what’s that saying? In for a penny, in for a pound and all that. 
And that’s how Mel finds herself with a beer in her hand, sitting next to Nick Folio in the living room of a strange house, playing the most intense game of Uno she’s ever seen. 
“Uno.” 
The statement comes from the only other woman in the house, Holly, and Mel’s realizing she might be why the game is so heated. The other woman smirks into her remaining card as the men around them groan, and she can’t help but laugh. They’ve played three previous rounds and the woman in question has won all of them. 
“Haven’t you won enough?” Nick asks beside her, eyeing Holly suspiciously, “Are you sure you’re not cheating?”
The woman scoffs, “It’s not my fault you all suck this game…” she trails off to point at Mel, “except her… she’s kept me on my toes the entire night.” 
It’s true, if anyone has been close to beating Holly, it’s been her, and even as she tries to keep a straight face, Mel can’t stop the smile that curves her lips up. She’s next to declare Uno and thanks to Nick serving a reverse card, she wins the game, effectively stealing the other woman’s fourth win. Whatever she was thinking a “get-together” full of band dudes was going to be, it wasn’t this. It seems more like an intimate gathering among friends and it’s got her insides at war with each other; she’s a little giddy at the fact that he seems comfortable enough to bring her around his friends, but panic wants to take root in her belly. This is feeling like more than a casual hook up.
Yet despite the pterodactyls flying in her stomach she accepts the high-fives and congratulations with glee.
~~
One by one, they seem to drop. First, Jolly, the tall Swede who plays the guitar in their band, bids them good night; leaving with a kiss pressed to Holly’s cheek. Next is the other Nick, the bassist, who everyone seems to call Nick or Nicholas, referring to the man who brought her here by last name only. Mel finds herself a little curious when he pauses after he says goodnight, leaning into Holly for a split second before seeming to catch himself. He jerks back, putting a little more space between them before kissing Holly on the cheek as well. Then it’s just the four of them. 
Conversation flows. The easy back and forth she has with Nick seems to extend to Holly and Noah as well, and Mel takes the time to observe the other two. She’s sure they’re a thing. There’s a closeness between them that speaks of more than casual friendship. Yet before this moment, she was almost sure that Holly and Nicholas were the item. It’s information Mel files away for later, to ask Nick about if she gets a chance. They don’t stay for much longer though, long enough for the woman to pull the promise of a rematch from Mel before she and Noah walk hand in hand up the stairs.
The room feels charged as soon as they’re alone. Almost as if the only thing holding them at bay were the others in the room. Heat warms in her gut when he turns his head, smiling at her a split second before reaching for her. Mel goes willingly, allowing him to pull her into his lap and his tongue into her mouth as soon as their lips meet. 
His kiss is as good as she remembers, so is the sound he makes against her mouth when her fingers weave into his hair and tug. He retaliates by slipping his hand under her shirt, working it up her torso until he can pull one cup of her bra down to pluck her nipple. She can feel herself clench around nothing as she pulls her mouth away to whimper. 
“Shhh,” he shushes her, bringing her mouth back to his, even as his fingers continue to tease. Mel can’t remember the last time she was in this position; making out in a stranger’s house with a guy she doesn’t really know. It reminds her of times long past but before she can let herself spiral too much about how she’s too old for this and any other reasons she should stop, Mel decides to allow herself another night with Nick Folio and save any self doubt for the day after. 
His hand abandons her chest to join the other one at her waist, both of them gripping tight to help grind her down against him. They groan into each other’s mouths, abruptly pulling apart when they hear a thud from the ceiling above.
“Are your friends going to mind if we…” She asks, panting.
Nick chuckles, breathless, “Nah, Holly’s here… which at the very least will keep Nicholas and Noah occupied, if not Jolly too.” He kisses at her neck as his hands leave her waist to grasp the hem of her shirt, distracting her before she can even begin to dissect what he just said. “And if we stay quiet enough, there won’t be a reason for any of them to come looking.”  
Whatever thoughts or concerns she had about his bandmates—and Holly—fly out the window when he nips the skin of her throat; her fingers tightening their grip on his hair the moment he sucks at a particular spot. “You are not leaving another hickey on me.” Mel makes sure he can hear the adamance in her voice.
He looks up at her and smirks, “What’s the matter, honey?” There it is again, honey. Her insides turn molten when he says it, even as the cocky asshole continues, “Didn’t you like having something to remember me by?”
“I think you liked the thought of marking me as yours.” She throws back at him, leaning in to capture his lips again before giving him any time to answer. He kisses her back roughly, as if he knows exactly what she’s doing, but he lets her do as she pleases, letting her kiss down his neck to nip at his own throat. She sits back to tug at his shirt, and he raises his arms, letting her pull it from his body and Mel remembers how her mouth watered at the sight of his dick last time. How much she wanted to feel the weight on her tongue, so that’s exactly what she sets out to do. 
She kisses a path down his chest, noting the ink now covering the expanse, sliding backwards on his lap until she can get to her knees on the floor. His pupils are wide in the low light of the living room when she looks up at him, his hands flexing and releasing against his thighs. 
“I seem to remember you telling me there would be time for this last time. So…” her hands go to the button of his jeans, “are you going to let me have you in my mouth?”
He huffs, “I don’t think you need to ask, but yes.”
Their hands bump against each other as he hastily helps her get his pants shuffled down enough for her to take him in her hand. She wraps her fingers around him, stroking him in a loose grip until his hips lift on their own accord, chasing her hand as she draws back. Nick groans out loud when she licks at the head, wrapping her tongue around it as she closes her lips around the sensitive tip. He whines when she pulls back.
“I think you’re going to need to be a little quieter than that.” Mel says around a smile.
Rolling his eyes, Nick looks down at her, “We’ll see what you say about ‘quieter’ when I get my--” 
His words cut off instantaneously, head falling back when she takes him back into her mouth, tonguing his shaft as she works her way down. Mel bobs her head, taking more of him with every pass until her lips meet the base. He’s a mouthful, but she can take it. She lets him rest in her throat as she swallows around him, massaging the underside with her tongue; a trick she learned years ago drives men crazy and Nick is no exception. Tears blur her vision and she finally slides her mouth back, then forward again as she blinks the tears away.
His head is still tipped back when she looks up at him, the long line of his neck exposed and even as his dick is in her mouth, she can’t help but think he’s beautiful like this; lost in the heat of her mouth with his fists clenched tightly in the back cushions of the sofa. Her eyes roll back as he raises his hips to meet her, yet just as they begin to work in tandem he’s patting at her shoulders, running fingers through her hair to her attention. 
She hums, continuing to jerk him off when pulls off his cock, “What is it?” 
Mel takes pride in the way he rolls his eyes at her, hand closing around her arm lightly to tug her up to him, “Come on… get up here.”
“Impatient, aren’t you?”
“You telling me that if I reach my hand into these shorts of yours, I’m not gonna find you already wet?” 
Standing between his legs, she plays with the waistband of her shorts. “Well, why don’t you find out?” 
He surges forward, making quick work unfastening her shorts and thank god they have a little give because he doesn’t even bother with the zipper; just tugs them down her legs to let them pool at her feet while his fingers find the real prize. Nick touches her over her panties at first, smirking up at her triumphantly when the pads of his fingers brush against the damp fabric. And when he slips those fingers under the elastic hem, digits nudging through her folds to find her slick opening, she shoots a hand out to grasp his shoulder; something to keep her steady as her head falls back. 
“Yeah.. that’s what I thought,” Nick says, and she can hear the smirk in his voice. He teases her, touching her everywhere but where she needs him the most. “Shit, come here.” His hands close around her waist, tugging her down to straddle his lap once again--
Her eyes roll back when she sinks onto him. Fuck, he feels as good as she remembers, splitting her open and filling her in all the right ways. Heat licks at her insides as she moves, want curling in the base of her spine when she closes the gap to bring their mouths together again. His hand weaves into the hair at the nape of her neck, fingers flexing and holding tight, and she moans, the sound swallowed by his mouth. It feels fast, and rough, and desperate, but it's exactly what she needs. Mel falls apart around him the second he presses his thumb to her clit, and he follows straight after, groaning into her mouth as he raises his hips, hilting himself inside her before he stills. 
~~
The morning after is less awkward than she expects. They both wake to the smell of fresh coffee and minimal teasing from his bandmates, although Mel’s pretty sure Holly’s presence has something to do with that. While she thought she knew what this was walking into it, every bit of this encounter has felt like something more than just a hook-up between casual acquaintances and she doesn’t quite know how to deal with it. So she doesn’t. She accepts the coffee, and later she lets Nick drive her back to her sister's house instead of calling a cab like she planned. 
“So…” He begins as they pull up to the curb in front of her sister’s place. “If I wanted to get to know you more seriously… would you allow it?”
He almost sounds nervous, a far cry from the confident, almost cocky persona she’s accustomed to. His face gives nothing away when she looks at him, eyes hidden behind the dark lenses of his sunglasses. 
She shouldn’t, Mel thinks. She should keep this as casual as possible because he’s a rockstar and while she knows they have something, it's something that’s probably better let be. But that is not what she says. No, what she says is, “Maybe.” Because she’ll be damned if she makes it easy for him. She smirks, leaning in to give him a kiss on his cheek before opening the door, “I guess you’ll have to see.”

He doesn’t remember how long he’s been riding. If he had to guess, maybe two hours? Maybe three?
It doesn’t matter anyways. He’s going until his bike breaks down. And with a quick glance at the speedometer and fuel gauge, that may be soon.
But he keeps pushing, despite the freezing cold wind that has been his sole companion for the past.. however long. He can’t seem to remember how many miles it’s been since he initially left.
He can’t remember.
It doesn’t matter anyways. He’s going until his bike breaks down. And with a quick glance at the speedometer and fuel gauge, that may be soon.
But he keeps pushing, despite the freezing cold wind that has been his sole companion for the past…
The bike is sputtering. It’s struggling to use the last of the gaseous fumes in the tank.
God, he could have sworn he had a little less than twenty miles left before that started happening. It doesn’t matter anyways. He’s going until his bike—
His heart drops as he shakily sets his feet back to the ground. The bike rattles and sputters a bit before it is completely out of gas, making him curse. Snow is slowly descending from the gray sky above.
The air is wrapping its frigid tendrils around him as he remains sitting on the bike. His breathing is heavy, and the breath that puffs out just in front of his face lingers for a moment before dissipating. The grip he has on the handlebars is turning his knuckles white with the strain. But it doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t fucking matter.
The fear settling into his stomach feels like lead, the suddenness of it making him queasy. In the back of his mind he can hear a desperate scream pleading for him to run. From what, he isn’t sure. But he has the innate feeling of being watched, his spine tingling in response.
He doesn’t allow himself to idle any longer. He scrambles off the bike and begins running forward in the direction he had been originally traveling. His sneakers pound against the lonely asphalt — seemingly the only sound out here.
The fear accumulating in his intestines is growing stronger and more severe. His throat tightens with tears, but he keeps pumping his legs as fast as he can.
Up ahead, there’s a gleam of headlights heading this way. Panic drives a stake through his chest when he sees a car round the line of trees. Despite the panic inside of him, he can’t help the desire he feels to be found. He wants nothing more to be found and taken home to where nothing can hurt him ever again.
But he knows better. And as the first tear slides down his reddened cheek he darts off to the side and disappears into the darkening woods.
He isn’t sure how long he hurries through the trees and bushes. But his vision is blurring as nighttime rapidly approaches, accompanied by the steady fall of snow down through the forest’s canopy. Everything is dark and hazy.
His lungs burn. His feet ache. The tears he had shed have dried and froze to his face.
He can’t do this any longer. He can’t keep running away. This needs to end.
With his hand outstretched, he catches himself against a tree, forcing his body to stop. He’s panting and wheezing when his feet finally stop moving. There’s a sharp pain in his side, but the broad scrape along his palm distracts him.
Even in the growing darkness, the red bloom of blood is a stark contrast to the white snow flurries. It makes him dizzy.
Swallowing his nausea, he backs away from the tree. The snow is swirling all around him, the pearly flakes falling in silence. All he can hear is the pounding of his heart in his ears and the labored breaths wheezing out through his mouth.
He begins trudging through the frost and cold. He doesn’t have a destination in mind, so he ventures deeper into the dark trees that undoubtedly lead to the heart of the woods. It sends a jolt of fear through him, but he does his best to ignore it while walking.
As he walks, the snow crunching quietly beneath his sneakers, he still can’t seem to shake the sensation of eyes on him. Someone — or something — has been following him for miles. Why, he doesn’t know. But the fear festering inside of him is intermingling with his anxiety and terror, and it has his instincts yelling and begging him to break into a run and flee.
However, he ignores the tug in his stomach that is urging him to save himself. The moment he stepped foot beyond the tree line he knew he wouldn’t be spared by the massive, silent sentinels permanently rooted in the earth. He’s become numb to the dread now.
So he keeps walking. His fingers are numb; he doesn’t even register the blood slipping down his hand in rivulets, each drip falling to the pure snow in fat droplets.
It is completely dark now. Nighttime has fallen over the woods.
Off to his right comes a sound like branches snapping. He stops in his tracks, not daring to look off to the side, even though he knows he’ll be met with nothing but darkness.
He almost starts moving again when he doesn’t hear anything else in that direction. His head is spinning from the wave of nauseating panic that floods his veins.
The silence persists and he hesitantly keeps walking.
He worries he may puke from the overwhelming fear that is rupturing his intestines. If he wanted to he could book it back towards the road and–
More branches crack and break. Snow crunches rhythmically, like footsteps.
His stomach sinks. Is there someone else out here?
The dread flooding his veins is stifling as he waits for the noises to stop so he can continue walking. But the snapping of wood and shuffling of snow doesn’t stop. Instead, with each passing second, it grows louder and louder. And not in volume, but in distance, like whatever is making these noises is creeping closer to him.
He is petrified. His breathing is heavy and his limbs are shaking. That thing in the recesses of his mind is deafeningly loud as it screams and shouts for him to book it out there.
The sounds are getting louder. He swears he can hear breathing aside from his own.
That’s all he needed to pivot to the left and sprint off into the inky black shadows.
He’s running like his life depends on it. He stumbles and trips over hidden rocks and roots and branches, but he keeps pushing, despite the freezing cold wind that has been his sole companion for the past.. however long. He can’t seem to remember how many miles it’s been since he initially left.
After what he assumes to have been five minutes, he thinks he may have lost whatever was stalking him. He nearly slows down, until there are heavy, pounding footsteps at his back. He dares a glance over his shoulder, but is only met with nothing but darkness. And those foreboding footfalls that are gaining speed.
He keeps running. He narrowly misses trees and clips his shoulders on others. More rocks and other unseen earthly objects catch his feet, and, at one point, his shoelace comes undone after getting snagged on a branch. The loosened lace whips wildly as he struggles to run.
His chest is tight and his entire abdomen is screaming in anguish at the intense exertion he has experienced over the past few hours. Exhaustion and hunger have sunken their talons into him, neither interested in releasing him any time soon.
Then he sees it. Up ahead, through the trees, he sees light beating down into a large clearing. He forces himself to make it to the clearing, despite how tempting it feels to allow his legs to give out from beneath him.
Once he makes it past the trees and into the clearing, he realizes the light he’d seen was from the full moon shining brightly against the dissipating clouds of snow. In front of him is a three-story house, its exterior ugly and gray after being exposed to the elements for so long. The front porch faces him and he leaps onto the old, creaking wood gladly.
As he goes to try the tarnished gold door knob he remembers his pursuer. He looks back to the woods expecting to see something, anything, half hidden by the shadows to gain some kind of insight on what it may have been. But his tired eyes see nothing from either end of the clearing at the front of the decrepit house. With a trembling hand he twists the door knob, relieved to find it unlocked, and walks inside.
It’s dark in here, but not quite as dark as the forest he had just stumbled through for hours. The house is faintly illuminated by the moonbeams shining in through the windows scattered about. 
“Hello?” His voice breaks as he speaks. “Is anyone here?”
He idles in the entryway for a few moments. When he receives no response he gingerly steps into the room to his left. The wood groaning under his feet makes him cringe.
He’s entered what appears to be the front room, or living room. There is a rundown sofa in the center of the room, a matching chair on either side of it. Even through the thick layer of dust on each piece of furniture he can make out the color of the fabric as red. A rectangular coffee table sits in the middle of the cushioned seats, a layer of dust obscuring the glass top. A few empty bookcases are pressed nestled in the corner at his back. Even more dust clings to the wood.
It’s freezing inside the large home, but at least it is warmer than what it is outside. His teeth quietly chatter as he rounds the couch and gingerly sits on the far end. He coughs and sputters at the dusty cloud that erupts as he situates himself. But that’s when he notices it.
On the wall he faces from his position on the couch is a large, grand fireplace. The red brick matches nicely with the rest of the furnishing. His heart tugs at the thought of a fiery warmth, but he knows it’s best to keep that small iron gate where it is stretched across that black, hollow space. He turns his gaze upward to the mantle, and the sight that stares back at him leaves him momentarily speechless.
A massive mirror hangs from the wall, the sheer size and width of it spanning further than the fireplace beneath it. It is framed in what is clearly more iron. Even from where he is sitting he can make out the intricate detailing in the tarnished metal.
The mirror is angled in just the right way where he can see the entirety of the room he’s in. He can see the shelves behind him in the corner and the windows that face the front of the house. Compared to the rest of this room he looks tiny. Amongst the old furniture and the suffocating dust and mold it is more than evident that he does not belong here. Despite the scrapes that marr his skin and the few snowflakes still hiding in his hair — everything that is making him fit in perfectly with this abandoned house — he knows he shouldn’t be here. This is just a pit stop.
But that mirror…
He continues staring at it. Something one of his friends told him once is playing on repeat in his tired mind: if you stare at yourself in a mirror long enough, your reflection doesn’t look like you.
He always called bullshit on that. It didn’t seem logical or like it was even possible in the first place.
But he swears the glass is beginning to ripple. The shadows in the reflection pulse and ungulate and his heart is racing once more. He needs to get out of here. He’ll run the risk of facing whatever is outside, whatever was chasing him, rather than mess with this enormous looking glass.
Instead of heading towards the front door he is drawn to the mirror, an unseen force beckoning him. His head feels hazy and filled with fog as he approaches the fireplace. The mirror is drawing him in and he isn’t sure why, or why he’s giving in to this phantom seduction.
Behind him in the mirror’s glass he sees figures emerging from the shadows. Or he thinks he does. His eyes must be playing tricks on him with his attention fixed somewhere else.
Once he is face-to-face with the mirror he feels faint and woozy. His head is spinning like a top, and he fears he may pass out. Maybe his hunger and exhaustion are finally catching up to him, and that moment of rest is really sinking in.
Then he’s falling backwards, his arms remaining limp at his sides. His body crashes into the floor like a sack full of rocks. His head collides with the wood and his vision goes black.
The last thing he remembers is the sound of shattering glass and cold covering every inch of his frail body.

Tumblr media
“Heaven’s hiding barely out of frame, but Hell embraces like a hurricane.” ~ Thousand Below, Hell Finds You Everywhere
Tumblr media
Maeve awoke late the next morning with arms wrapped tightly around her waist. Gentle kisses and warm breath tickled her neck. “G’morning,” she murmured, smiling, voice raspy from sleep.
“Good morning, doll,” Nick rasped into her neck. “You sleep well?”
“Mhm,” she hummed, turning to face him. “Did you?”
“Slept like a baby,” he grinned. He moved his arms so that she could face him fully, then rested a hand on her hip, rubbing his thumb across the sliver of skin exposed from her shirt riding up. Nick’s hair was tussled, his eyes sleepy, and his goofy smile was spread across his face like he’d just won the lottery. To him, he had.
“How’s your hand?” she questioned. She placed her hand on his bicep and ran it down his arm until she reached his hand, grabbing it and moving it from her hip to in front of her.
“It’s a little sore,” Nick shrugged. “I’m not too worried about it.” He watched fondly as she inspected the bandage that was still securely in place around his knuckles. With a gentle touch and focused gaze, she began to unwrap his hand to check the wound underneath.
“It looks a little better,” she commented under her breath once she could see the wound. She set the bandage on her nightstand before she pressed a soft kiss to his knuckles as she made eye contact with him.
Nick felt his heart jump into his throat and his eyes began to crinkle from how hard he was smiling. “It’s all thanks to you,” he grinned. He took his hand from her gentle hold and used it to pull her closer to him. “Best nurse ever,” he chuckled before pulling her in for a kiss.
Maeve giggled against his lips as she kissed back, her hands moving to cup his face. The kiss was soft and slow. Both of them kept accidentally breaking the kiss because they couldn’t stop smiling.
Nick was the first to fully pull away. “Can I take you fishing today?”
“I don’t really know how to fish,” Maeve shrugged. “But I’ll come with you.”
“I’ll teach you,” Nick sat up excitedly. “This is gonna be sick.”
“Slow your roll,” Maeve giggled, sitting up. “I need coffee and food first.”
Tumblr media
After a quick breakfast, Maeve sat in the passenger’s seat of Nick’s truck with the air conditioner blasting while Nick loaded up the poles, chairs, tackle boxes, and a cooler filled with water and beer. It was absolutely precious how excited he was to take her fishing. He hadn’t stopped smiling once, rushing around to get everything they needed packed up like a kid helping pack the car for Disneyland. The next thing she knew, the driver’s side door swung open and Nick plopped into the seat. “You ready?” he chirped, buckling his seatbelt with a quickness.
“Ready.”
Nick plugged his phone into the aux and put on a mix of 90s and early 2000s country music before peeling out of the driveway. His right hand made purchase on Maeve’s thigh for the majority of the drive, which took about 30 minutes. It felt like no time at all as they laughed and joked all the way to the lake.
When they arrived, Maeve tried to get out of the truck. Nick stopped her. “Ah ah ah,” he patted her thigh. “Don’t touch that door.” Maeve furrowed her eyebrows at him as he got out of the truck and ran to the passengers side to open the door for her. He offered her his hand.
She grabbed it with a giggle. “Thank you,” she chirped, getting out of the truck with his help and pressing a quick kiss to his check. She didn’t miss the way his face flushed.
Maeve stood by as he unloaded the truck. He was trying to figure out how to carry everything in one trip, and struggling.
“Nick,” Maeve laughed. “Let me help.”
“No way, doll,” he grunted, trying again to adjust his grip and ultimately failing. “Shit.”
“Please?” she asked with a slight whine to her voice, eyes wide and lips pouted.
Nick looked up at her and nearly dropped everything he was holding. “Fuck, you’re so cute,” his lips curved up into a smile. “Fine. C’mere and grab something.”
She smiled victoriously as she walked over to him. She pushed her prescription sunglasses up the bridge of her nose before she took the lawn chairs and tackle box off his hands, her own bag hanging on her shoulder. He was left to carry the poles and the cooler, which was definitely the heaviest thing he’d brought. They then started the short hike to Nick’s favorite spot on the lake.
Once everything was set down, Nick pulled Maeve close and pressed a long kiss to her lips. His hands held onto her hips while hers snaked around his neck. “What was that for?” she asked, giggling, once he pulled away.
“For helping me,” he pecked her lips. “And for coming with me.”
They pulled away from each other and Nick unfolded both of the chairs. He sat down and started to set up the poles. Maeve got her sunscreen out of her bag and began to apply it. When she was done, she stood in front of Nick. “Babe,” she said.
He looked up at her with a smile, eyes sparkling. “What’s up, doll?”
“Let me put sunscreen on you.”
“I don’t burn. I’ll be okay.”
Her eyes narrowed. “Nick, you need sunscreen.”
“Alright,” he chuckled, setting the pole he was working on to the side. “Go for it.”
Maeve smiled and sat down on his lap, facing him, not noticing how his eyes turned into saucers as she did. She put sunscreen in her hands and gently spread it on his face, ears, and neck, rubbing it into his skin with a soft touch. She did his arms next and then pressed a kiss to his cheek. “All done,” she stood up.
Nick cleared his throat and took a deep breath. “Thank you, baby,” he breathed, face burning hot. He went back to setting up the poles. When he was done, he handed one to her, leaving the other leaned up against the chair. “I’m gonna teach you how to cast, okay?”
Maeve awkwardly held the pole and nodded at him. He led her to the edge of the water. He adjusted her hands so that her left hand held the bottom of the grip and the right hand was above it near the reel. “Just keep your hands here,” he murmured as he adjusted them. “Now, take your right pointer finger and press the line against the pole,” he instructed. She followed his instruction. “Good,” he hummed. “Now, take your left hand off the pole.” She did. “Now, flick the reel up.” He guided her hand to the correct part of the reel and she flicked it up.
“Good job, doll,” he praised. Her face was red. “Put your left hand back on the pole.” When she did that, he continued. “You’re going to swing the pole over your shoulder, don’t let go of the line.” He wrapped his arms around her and placed his hands over hers to guide her motion. “Now, swing it forward and let go of the line. Flick the reel back down when it hits the water.” He guided her arms to swing the pole forward and helped her carry through and finish the cast. Satisfied, he kissed her cheek with a huge, goofy smile. “Great job, baby.” Then he grabbed his own pole and casted.
“Now what?” Maeve asked, holding back a smile as she reminded herself to breathe.
“We wait,” Nick shrugged.
It took a while for the fish to start biting. Maeve got the first bite. The top of her pole began to bend. “Nick,” she squeaked. “What do I do?”
He looked over, “Reel it in.” He stepped closer to her and held his pole between his legs as he helped her. The fish flopped as it was reeled into shore. Maeve squealed when it was finally out of the water. She held the pole while Nick worked to get it off of the hook. “Look at that,” he smiled proudly. “First catch of the day. Wanna hold it?”
She smiled wide, “Yeah, actually. I kinda do.”
“Alright,” he moved the fish closer to her. “Put your thumb in its mouth and pinch.”
She did as directed and Nick pulled his hand away once she had a good grip. She giggled as she held it, “Holy shit.” Then it started to flop around in her grip, splashing her with water. She squealed and held it further away from herself. “Take it,” she squealed. “I don’t wanna hold it anymore.”
Nick laughed and laughed hard as he took the fish back and tossed it back into the water. “You big baby,” he teased.
The rest of the day was spent fishing and drinking. Nick even chased Maeve around with one of the fish he caught just so she’d scream and laugh. That resulted with him getting pushed into the water, and her getting pulled down with him.
Tumblr media
When they returned home, the sun was setting. It would be dark in no time. “Do you wanna come over and hang out?” Nick asked her as they turned down their street.
“Yes,” she chirped. “But I need to shower first. I’ll come over after.”
“That’s fair,” Nick nodded, parking the truck. “I should do that too.”
“Yeah you should,” Maeve teased. “You stink.”
Nick rolled his eyes playfully, “We’re here. Go shower. And be quick because I already miss you.”
Maeve gave Nick a quick kiss before grabbing her bag and hopping out of the truck.
Maeve went into her house and locked the door behind her before rushing to her bathroom to take a shower. It was a relatively quick shower. She did her skincare right after. By the time she walked into her bedroom and put on a cute lounge set, it was dark outside. She threw her hair into a ponytail and was ready to go.
Just as she reached her bedroom door to leave, she heard glass shatter. She figured it was likely a window. She nearly jumped out of her skin. In the heat of the moment, she was somehow able to keep herself from screaming. Frozen in fear, she heard a chilling voice, taunting her.
“Honey, I’m home,” the creepy voice sang.
She instantly sprung into action. She knew that voice anywhere. Gripping her phone tightly in her hand, she locked her bedroom door and quickly made it into her closet, closing the door behind her as quietly as she could. She hid herself in a pile of clothes that were on the floor as she heard heavy footsteps booming throughout her home, headed straight for her room. “You can’t hide from me,” the voice shouted threateningly. With trembling fingers, she pulled up her and Nick’s text messages.
‘I need help. Call 911.’
She sent the text before calling 911 herself. Her eyes welled up with tears as she silently prayed that someone would get to her before Tanner did.

Star-Crossed Connection: Chapter Three
Tumblr media
Nick Folio x Original Female Character
WC: 2.5k -> unedited :/ if you see something wrong ....no you didn't
masterpost
this is a complete work of fiction, some characters while based on real people are totally made up. :)
Seraphina Holloway is Hollywood’s new it girl. But, when an embarrassing viral video of her ex / costar publicly dumping her goes viral, she thinks she needs a quick fix to help maintain her image. When she’s set to appear at her new movies premier she scrambles to find a date to bring that will help take the white hot spotlight away from her public dumping and show that she’s still desirable to all. Enter Nick Folio, drummer of the metalcore band that’s taking over the scene, Bad Omens. He’s a sweet down to earth guy with a heart of gold and when a smokin hot movie star asks him to be her fake boyfriend for a week he agrees to help. But will the line between fake feelings and reals ones start to blur when Seraphina lets her true self show.
Taglist: @cookiesupplier @lma1986 @to-be-written @bngurngheart @jessicafg03 @knivesforapr0 @thatchickwiththecamera @somewhere-diamond @sorrowsofsilence @malerieee @dsireland86 @collapsedglasshouses @jilliemiw86 @samanthasgone -> tags are open !
warnings: degrading language towards Seraphina is used by a character , mild physical assault.
After quickly checking in we found our room and immediately crashed onto the bed, completely exhausted from the long road trip. Tomorrow is the first day Folio and I will have to fully put on the show. Acting lovey-dovey like a real couple. We talked about it a little on the car ride up. 
“So…how do you feel about kissing?” I ask Folio as we draw nearer to our destination. He does a quick double take towards me and then back to the road and I laugh, “I didn’t mean kissing right now you dork. I mean like when we’re at the festival. If we were really dating I’d probably kiss you a little, I’ve been known to like a little PDA” I say again and he nods, his face is thoughtful as he considers. “Um, yeah I guess kissing is fine. I mean I kiss my grandma so kissing you shouldn’t be too bad” he jokes and I push his shoulder lightly. “Hey! I kiss way better than a grandma!” I protest. He raises his eyebrows suggestively, “I guess we’ll see when the time comes.” A blush takes over my cheeks that surprises me. I’m obviously attracted to Nick, I mean he’s totally hot and we definitely have chemistry so I don’t think selling that we’re attracted to each other will be hard. 
“So my assistant Jules tells me I have a four-hour block of interviews and then there’s a photo-op on the slopes that will lead to some free ski time. It should be a pretty fun day….but that does mean Conner will be around and he’s been such an ass.” I explain to Nick as I finish the last of my room service breakfast while we wait for my hair and make-up girls to arrive. “Yeah, I’ve seen the tweets. He’s a dick and if he says half of the shit he’s saying online to your face I’ll punch the shit out of him.” Nick responds and I giggle like a preteen schoolgirl talking to her crush in the hallways. 
My glam team arrives and we decide to do a simple and gentle glam with a soft half up half down hairstyle. I’m wearing a black midthigh dress that hugs my curves paired with sheer tights, knee-high boots, and a thick black wool coat. I do a spin and check myself out in the full-length mirror. Lala my stylist did an amazing job putting my looks together for this week. 
Tumblr media
“So, How do I look?” I ask the group in front of me. “You look amazing!” my hair and make-up girls cheer. “Hot as fuck.” Nick says as he rounds the makeup area and gets a better look. Putting his hands on my hips and turning me around to face him. “Absolutely beautiful.” My glam squad quietly exists but my make-up artist pokes her head quickly back in the door to cheekily say, “Don’t mess up my make-up please!!” 
Laughing I rest my head against Folio’s shoulder, “Okay, you ready?” I ask him, looking up into his chestnut eyes. “Almost,” he whispers, moving his hand up to brush as stray hair out of my face and dipping his lips down to softly press against mine. It’s over as quickly as it began, but it’s left me breathless either way. “Didn’t want our first kiss to be in front of a bunch of strangers,” he says against my lips and I feel my knees buckle. “Mmhm, good idea,” I mumble back and pull away to fix my dress and recheck my make-up in the mirror. I look down to check my small white gold watch, “oh, we gotta go! Interview time.” I look at Nick with a smile. “Are you ready?”
“As I’ll ever be.” 
We meet my assistant, Jules in the lobby of the resort where she gives me a quick debrief of what I’m doing for the next few hours. First I’m talking to Entertainment Weekly and then Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and last is an interview I have to do with Conner for Wired Magazine. Not looking forward to that one, not because of Wired. I’ve loved working with them in the past. It’s Conner, I should have never got involved with him. Ugh. Speaking of Conner, I see him exit from the elevators looking douchier than ever in black ski pants with a matching turtlenecked black thermal. He gives me an acknowledging nod and I roll my eyes, “fucking asshole, nodding at me like he’s not completely shitting on me on Twitter.” I grumble as Nick throws his arm over my shoulder and kisses the side of my head. “Don’t worry about him, sweetheart. He’s all talk.”
“Oh, I’m sure he’ll be on his best behavior with all these journalists surrounding us.”  
“It’ll take about four hours for me to finish the interviews, but, there’s lots to do around the resort. My credit card is attached to the room if you want to get a massage or just hang around and watch a movie.” I say to Nick as we walk closer to the conference room. “Nice, okay I’ll walk around and think about it,” he responds, and as we reach the entrance I turn to say goodbye and he quickly wraps me in his arms and presses a soft kiss to my mouth. “Good luck in there baby, knock ‘em dead.” I can’t stop the giggle and blush that comes through. “Thanks Nicky.” 
I enter into the conference room on the opposite side of Connor. They have the room sectioned off for the interviews. I head over to start my first interview with Kelly Brinks from Entertainment Weekly.
Kelly: hello there Seraphina, you are looking beautiful today. Seraphina: oh, thank you, Kelly. It’s wonderful to see you again. Kelly: and you as well. So we’re here today to talk about your upcoming Movie “Tomorrow’s Promises” a dramatic comedy that you star in alongside fellow Hollywood newcomer Conner Frank. Now how does this movie feel compared to other films you’ve worked in? Seraphina: This movie has one of the largest budgets of any film I’ve worked on so far, however, I know that budget is only a portion that can make a movie better. This is a huge production, that’s probably the biggest change, just the magnitude of the cast and crew. All wonderful and hardworking people making movie magic.  Kelly: This is a rather dramatic role, one we haven’t quite seen you in yet. How did you prepare for such emotional scenes? I mean I saw the extended trailer and you’re performance is looking potentially Oscar-worthy. Seraphina: oh wow, thank you, Kelly. That means so much to me. I did a lot of soul-searching after my father passed a few years back. I still feel a lot of emotions from that and this character and I share a lot of similarities. I was able to tap into some of my real feelings during some of those scenes which I think helped sell the performance more.  Kelly: and an amazing performance it was.  Seraphina: thank you. Kelly: Do you mind if I address the elephant in the room? Seraphina: oh Kelly, whatever do you mean?.. I’m just kidding. Of course Kelly. Kelly: There has been a bit of a rift online with you and your costar, is this something that concerns you moving forward with the rest of this festival week? Seraphina: Oh, Conner and I go way back. We’ve made some mistakes but he’s a great actor and I’m proud of the movie we made. I think whatever has happened in the past is easily left behind to ensure a harmonious festival. 
The rest of the solo interviews went, with lots of questions about the movie and some about the situation with Connor. Which is annoying, but I’m able to maneuver past them with ease. Nathan from Vanity Fair spent about twenty minutes of our interview asking me about my Bronco. Which  I didn’t mind.
Connor surprises me before our joint interview by pulling me into a side alcove, I push him back and huff an annoyed breath. 
“Connor, what the fuck?! You can’t just ask me to talk like a normal person?” I gripe out at him in a harsh tone. “Well, it’s not like you’re easy to get alone these days. What did you hire a male gigolo for the week?” I scoff offended. “Oh fuck off. He’s actually my boyfriend you jerk.” 
“Yeah, that guy? What did you find him in a hot topic catalog?” 
“You really are a piece of work. You come here with a beautiful Victoria’s Secret model but have the audacity to question my relationship? Fuck off Connor, You have made it pretty clear in your tweets that I’m nothing more than an obsessed coworker.” 
“Come on Phini, you know I didn’t mean that,” he says moving in closer and backing me up into the wall. “Get away from me Connor and don’t call me that,” I say and push him back, “we have an interview so get you’re shit together and try to keep it professional. If that’s a possibility for you.” I say walking away but he grabs my arm and pulls me back. “Come on Phini, I know you miss me, baby, There is no way he can make you feel good like me.” his grip on my arm is tight and hurts. “Let me go, Connor.” I try to move my arm but can’t get it out of his reach. 
“You don’t know how good you had it, now you’re with some new guy. Should have known you were just some whore, sleeping her way to the top.”  
“FUCK YOU LET ME GO CONNOR!” I yell louder and he reactively pushes me back against the wall. 
The commotion brings an audience of reporters from all over the room, Kelly from EW comes rushing to my side. “Seraphina, are you okay? What happened?” she asks as she helps me back up to my feet.
“She tripped,” Connor says and gives me a sharp glare. “Seraphina? Are you okay?” Kelly asks again and the sudden attention overwhelms me so I just give a small nod, “mmhm, I’m fine. It was just a trip.” 
You idiot, you’re just letting him get away with it? What’s wrong with you? You’re letting some guy push you around…
“Oscar-worthy performance” Kelly’s words ricochet through my brain. I quickly decided to bide my time, I won’t let his dramatic antics ruin this opportunity for me. I won’t be brought under by his immaturity. He will get what’s coming to him, I know it. 
 Because he’s truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing Connor and I are able to complete the Wired interview without any drama. We are actors after all. 
I get out of the conference rooms as fast as possible to meet back up with Jules and Folio so we can all grab a quick lunch before heading out to take a few pictures and the slopes. I get the opportunity to wear my pink ski suit. It looks so cute with my hair in two French braids. 
The photo-ob is cute, the cast of the movie all takes pictures in front of the snowy mountains and I even power through to take a few with Connor, fighting off the urge to push him over into the nearest pile of snow. 
Our director, Rachel McKnight, specifically asks me for a few photos and whispers in my ear, “Just don’t forget me in your acceptance speech. You are amazing.” she says softly and I fight back tears. “Of course, I couldn’t have done it without you,” I respond back to her. “Go have fun with your guy, he’s quite a looker.” 
I look off to the side and see Folio watching me with a small smile. I turn back to Rachel, my mouth forming a big grin, “he is isn’t he?” I agree. 
With the photo-ob done, we are free to ski at our leisure. “Alright let’s hit the slopes, sweetheart,” Folio says as I approach him and Jules. “Let’s go!” I cheer.
“You looked amazing Ser!” Jules remarks as we walk towards the lift together. “And Rachel asking you specifically for a photo! And not Connor! Amazing!!! I bet she wants a picture of you she can post it on Instagram when you win the Oscar!” I laugh and playfully push her, “stoooop, that would be insane, I can’t even think about that! Let’s just have a fun rest of our day.” 
“Agreed” Folio comments from my side, taking my hand in his as we get to the line to get on the ski lift. 
The rest of our afternoon is a blast, we take multiple runs and at one point Folio gets his skis tangled and tumbles into the snow. I approach him and try to keep the giggle I have brewing at bay. But he just looks so silly half buried in the sand. “Laughing? At a man fallen in the snow? What kind of a woman are you Ser?” he jokes and tosses a handful of soft snow at me. “I’m sorry, you just look so cute!” I say reaching out my hand to help him out.
“Oh really? Let’s see how it looks on you then,” he says and pulls me down into the snow right on top of him. “Oof! Oh, real funny Folio.” 
“Say cheese!” Jules says from above with her phone in her hand. 
“Cheese!!” we both say, smiling brightly despite wearing a full face cover and goggles. “Omg so cute! You gotta post this one Ser, sups adorable.” 
“Sups cute for sure!” Folio jokes while we climb back onto our feet and stretch for our final run. “What a crazy day!” I say once we reach the bottom of the hill and head back towards the resort for dinner.
Jules is quietly engrossed into whatever is on her phone as Folio and I continue ahead. I suddenly hear fastly approaching footsteps and Jules is calling out my name, “Ser! Ser! Oh my god! You have to see this!” she has wild eyes as she catches up to us with her phone stretched out in front of her. “Look !” she pushes the phone into my hands and as I’m asking “What is it?” I look down and see a darkly lit video of Conner and me, the volume is low but you can make out the growl in his voice and see the ferocity in his eyes. You can clearly make out when he calls me a whore and then see him push me into the wall. Folio looking at the video over my shoulder has gone completely still. 
“When did this happen Seraphina?”

@thescarlettvvitch @thefallennightmare @spicywhenspeaking @cookiesupplier @dsireland86
Nick walks into the living room and sits on the couch "Are you ready to just relax this weekend?" He says while looking at me.
I turn to look at him with a big smile on my face while getting comfortable next to him"uhmm yes. School has me wanting to rip out my hair. It's just been so hectic with studying for finals. It has me on the verge of a mental breakdown. But I am glad to be here. So no more school and work talk."
Nick puts his arm around me and kisses my head "sounds like a plan babe. I forgot to mention that being up here, we dont get very good or any signal and the wifi has been out for a couple of days now. I got an email about it before I came up here. I have been trying to have someone come out to fix it but it has been difficult."
Leaning into his arm, I jokingly say "well that sucks. How am i suppose to let my family and friends know that I havent been kidnapped or killed?"
Nick throws his head back and laughs "Don't worry. I'll protect you from anything Michelle."

Coming Soon...
Tumblr media
title: A Friend Down In Hell
pairing: Nick Folio x ofc (Ishtar)
summary: Folio can't quite tell you how long he's been dead, punishment realms do that to you, but it doesn't matter when he has friends like his, and Ishtar. Ishtar, with whom he fell in love the moment he met her. The problem? She doesn't know it. How does he convince a demon, who is practically immortal, to date him when he's dead? How did Ellie do it so easily?
tags: @spicywhenspeaking @bngurngheart @cncohshit @valiantroeagleangel @blackveilomens @dominuslunae @tearfallpixie @nyxthedestroyerofworlds @wild-child-7747 @notingridslurkaccount @lyschko666 @jilliemiw86
I've tagged those who asked to be tagged in Hell Ain't So Bad, however, PLEASE let me know if you would like me to continue tagging you in this story once it begins. I will be reverting to my general tag list unless asked. For those interested, you can join a Hell-Verse tag list for all future stories and one-shots associated with it!
author’s note: Anyone interested in requesting outtakes/extra scenes for one-shots of Noah & Ellie (or any characters/future pairs of the Hell Verse AU), even when I've finished posting their main story up.. I will always welcome it! Their story is not over, they just won't be the main focus in future stories as it may be.
Actually, I encourage it! Please, I would love to hear what you guys would enjoy seeing more of outside the main story! Whether silly tidbits or scenes hinted at in the story expanded on.

“I’d sell my soul a thousand times over just for you.”
————————————
Summary/Author’s Note: Do you ever get a word or phrase stuck in your head? That’s exactly what happened with this. Each story has the title in it. The writing style is different than anything else I’ve posted. I’m very proud of these five drabbles. I hope you all like them too. Links under the cut. As always, if there’s something I missed that should be tagged in the content warnings, please let me know!
Pairing: Noah Sebastian x Ofc, Jolly x Ofc, Nick Folio x Ofc, Nicholas Ruffilo x Ofc, Will Ramos x Ofc, Adam De Micco x Ofc (could be read as x Reader, but I envisioned different characters for each story when writing)
Content warnings: truthfully, I don’t know. Each story has its own. Things to be mindful of: religious themes and tones, mention of mythology, fire, angst, sorrow, brief implication of blood, implied vampire Ruffilo, Siren Will
————————————
Noah’s Version
Jolly’s Version
Folio’s Version
