#almost threw the novel across the room

In one of my most popular posts, I pointed out that Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë's writing styles don't have a ton in common, despite being constantly recommended to Austen fans looking for further reading.
Anthony Trollope is another name I hear frequently as similar to Austen. And let me say now.
No. Stop it.
I read his most famous and popular novel, Barchester Towers. The whole time I had this vibe, though I couldn't exactly find a quote to support it, that this author did not really respect women. The main hero is explicitly said to treat women like children. A main plot is about a bishop being hen-pecked (controlled by his wife). Another main plot is a woman who is a heartless, magical siren.
Well then the vibe stopped being a vibe (woman is ivy, man is tower):
When the ivy has found its tower, when the delicate creeper has found its strong wall, we know how the parasite plants grow and prosper. They were not created to stretch forth their branches alone, and endure without protection the summer's sun and the winter's storm. Alone they but spread themselves on the ground and cower unseen in the dingy shade. But when they have found their firm supporters, how wonderful is their beauty; how all-pervading and victorious! What is the turret without its ivy, or the high garden wall without the jasmine which gives it its beauty and fragrance? The hedge without the honeysuckle is but a hedge.
Yeah, I want to vomit. Women are a parasitic vine that cannot grow properly without a man? Fuck you, Anthony Trollop.
And why in the world would anyone compare this author to Austen?
Before someone fights me:
Yes, I realize that an author from 1857 might have unfortunate views about women. I'm not an idiot. I choose to read those who don't.
Yes, I know I only read one novel. I'm not going further because that was enough for me. I also wasn't very fond of his writing style besides the misogyny.
The main problem here is the comparison to Jane Austen, not Anthony Trollope himself. I didn't find them comparable at all besides being British and the presence of clergymen. If you love Trollope, this is not an attack on you personally.

Coming Home
Eris x Reader, taking care of him after battle
Warnings: Illusion to smut for one sentence, war but nondescript
Word Count: 3.1K (not proofread)
The kettle screamed in the kitchen, the hot water begging to be removed from the fire and poured alongside fresh herbs and chamomile. You quickly set your book aside, careful to tuck a corner of your soft blanket between the pages before pulling yourself from the warm corner of the sofa. Bitter cold nipped at your bare feet as you skipped across the uneven floorboards, creaking at each step. You crossed your arms across your chest, the thick brown sweater tucked between your arms and over your neck.
Your boyfriend had a tendency to wear turtlenecks, preferring to trade his formal jackets with stiff collars for the comfortable hand knitted sweaters. He also had a tendency to leave them at your house.
You smiled at the memory, how the male would reluctantly crawl from your bed, grumbling something about the cold weather, before retracing his steps from the previous night, plucking up each article of clothing you’d thrown somewhere across the room. He’d have a multitude of items, usually a soft linen shirt, followed by a more stiff white button down, a vest maybe, a sweater, then the final layer: a tailored coat. He would throw you the sweater - only the softest, thickest material for the High Lord’s son - after he’d seen you curl up in the fleece sheets, wrapping them around yourself as you sleepily gazed over at him. He’d always pair the action with a small smile or a wink, to which you couldn’t stifle your grin. It was a silent battle between the two of you: whether he’d ever leave your home with all of his clothes, but it was one that he would happily lose, especially if he got to spend the morning making you breakfast while you sat on the counter all curled up in his sweater - it was his favorite sight. 
You poured the steaming water over the leaves and flowers, silencing the noise that pierced your small home. You’d gotten a few complaints from your neighbors, when you’d left the kettle over the fire just a bit too long this late into the evening. Sometimes you’d just be too enthralled in your book, unable to stop yourself in the middle of the paragraph to head to the kitchen. Other times, you abandoned the kettle, the mere thought of tea long forgotten as the male in your arms kissed all down your neck. 
The steam swirled around the rim of the mug as you grabbed the handle and carefully trudged back to the couch. After setting the cup on the small table beside you, you sat back between the plush cushions and curled your legs into you, tucked safely under the thick fabric of the male’s sweater. You threw the blanket over yourself for good measure, picking up your book with the blanket inside, and continued reading. 
It was late, but by no means early morning yet, and sleep had evaded you. Despite countless cups of tea and tossing and turning in your bed for hours, you couldn’t manage one minute of shut eye; so, you’d given up completely and ventured to the living room to finish your novel. It was a tale of romance, a forbidden love between a stable boy and the princess - cheesy, no doubt, but it was one that made a smile cross your lips, a glimpse into your own relationship, however the roles reversed. But your heart swelled, as true love always found a way, the feeling almost too similar to how your own relationship had persisted regardless of the many obstacles in your way.
A harsh sigh left your lips as your ears perked up at the sound outside your front door. The clatter of metal, more than likely a candle holder, accompanied by a knock - one that no doubt belonged to your old neighbor, Mrs. Brittel, who had to pay you a visit at the slightest of disturbances. You groaned as you heaved yourself from the sofa, once again placing your book on the soft cushions. 
Your eyes flitted to the clock on the fireplace mantle: nearly half past eleven; not too late to be up, but a decent enough excuse to answer the door in such an unbecoming state. You turned the lock, opening the heavy wooden door just a crack before poking your head through. A prickly greeting was already positioned at your lips, but your jaw fell open at the sight you were met with.
The male was tall, looming over you as the door fell open, your hands dropping to your sides. His helmet covered his fiery hair, though tufts of dark red curled around the edges of the metal. Silver adorned his body, a scuffed breastplate and armor lining his arms and legs. Dark leather bound his body underneath, visible at all his joints and tucked into his boots. A heavy-looking silver sword hung at his hip, his hands, tucked away in dark gloves, were shaking. 
“Eris,” you breathed, his name the only word your brain could form. He sighed, chapped lips parting at the sound of your voice. His eyes shined, red irises glinting as silver lined his bloodshot eyes. A few cuts and scrapes adorned his flushed cheeks, riddled with marks or dirt and grime. 
The male before you usually didn’t knock. He’d simply sneak in, entering your small cabin and sweeping you off your feet all in one quick motion. But he stood before you, dressed in armor, fresh from battle, shell shocked in your doorway. 
He breathed your name, nothing but a whisper on his lips, as he stepped forward and held you by the shoulders. Your bodies didn’t touch, nothing close to the hug you’d been expecting to pull you into. He held you at arms length, weapons clinging against the metal along his legs, scanning over your form. What would normally have him in a frenzy, seeing you in his clothes, sweater busy barely covering your curves, not daring to even cover your bare legs - you normally wouldn’t be able to pull him off of you. 
But he was ferally in search of any injuries, anything that may have been off about your form. Your hands rose to his wrists and found purchase against the leather that bound his arms into the armor. You felt his skin burning through the layers, that no doubt the heat was leaching into the silver.
You couldn’t even imagine what he’d seen, what he’d returned from. 
Whatever it was, the dead bodies, the torture that must have been inflicted upon him and his men… you were just glad he made it home.
“I’m okay, Eris,” you whispered, gaze locked to his. You saw him press his lips together and swallow harshly. “You’re okay,” you continued. He looked okay, at least. No blood, no missing limbs, a few cuts and scratches - hell, you’d patched up many worse wounds inflicted by his own father. 
The slightest nod. 
“It’s cold, let’s come inside.” You waited for another nod before you stepped backwards, retaining your grip on his arms, slowly pulling him with you. The cold Autumn air had overtaken the whole living room, in which you couldn’t even feel the fire in the small hearth.
He heaved a sigh, dropping your shoulders as he began to recognized the room around him, when he realized where he ended up. It felt like his body was on autopilot - without even thinking he’d winnowed himself to your front door. 
Eris’s hands fell to his belt, unfastening the holster his sword was looped into, and let if fall to the ground with a heavy thud. He flinched, then, returning his shaking hands to the metal plates on his chest. Those red eyes burned into yours, begging apology at the disruptive noise. “It’s okay, Eris,” you noted calmly, raising your hands to his armor. You helped him remove the heavy shielding, pulling at the thick leather laces at his sides, unweaving the knots and pulling free the strings.
He was frozen for what felt like hours, watching you work diligently, not flinching at the dirt that clung to your fingers as you pulled at the leather. The only thing he could focus on was his ragged breathing, the burn in his chest at each breath he took. He snapped out of it once you grabbed hold of the chest plate and blew out a breath as you tried to lift it off his frame. 
His hands rose up to pull it away from you, the contoured metal much heavier than you could’ve ever guessed. He set it down, leaning it against the trim beside the door behind him. A small gasp fell on his pointed ears when he turned around, to which he shot back up to see you with your hands covering your mouth. 
You motioned for him to turn back around, grimacing once you touched the dent on the metal hanging off his back. He shrugged it off, groaning at not only the loss of weight, but at the ache in his back. The whole piece of armor was dented at his spine, from when they’d killed his horse and he’d fallen onto their barrier walls. He thought it a miracle that he could even walk after that, but not after an ache with every step. He wasn’t sure how many bones were broken or how long it would take them to heal, but by the gods he couldn’t wait another moment to see you. 
He shook his head, begging you not to ask, and continued on removing the armor, then the leather bindings, then the outer layers of his clothing. Eris was left in just his trousers and linen long sleeved shirt, the once loose material had become matted to his body, brown with grime and sweat. You tried not to stare at the flecks of blood, wounds that had probably already begun healing over, or the tears, where no doubt enemy swords may have scratched or even penetrated through the gaps in his armor. 
As the broken male stood before you, eyelids heavy and shoulders slumped, you picked up your hand and raised it up to his prominent cheekbone, running your thumb over the scar adorning his pale skin. He hummed at your touch, nuzzling his cheek into your palm, as if his head was so heavy he could barely hold it up on his own. 
He shut his eyes so, in fear he may fall asleep standing in your doorway, you tilted his chin up with your forefinger, and lifted his head up. He opened those bloodshot eyes and blinked a few times. “Can’t let you fall asleep so dirty, my love,” you whispered, running your thumb over his sharp jaw before you dropped your hand, only to grab his instead. “You’ll sleep much better if you’re clean.”
A small smile tugged at his lips at the sweet gesture of the female he loved as he followed you down the hall and into the bathing room. 
The tea on the side table had been long forgotten. 
You lit up the candles with your own fire power, the scent of maple and pine wafting around the room. Eris stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, waiting for you to guide him to the next step. He craned his neck in all directions, a low crack echoing off the walls. His shoulders ached, too sore to even move his arms, as he tried to roll out his shoulders. “None of that,” you stated over the sound of the copper tub filling with water. “Let me help.”
You grabbed two handfuls of his shirt, stuck against his abdomen, as you pulled it free from his lean muscle and pulled it over his head. He groaned, raising his arms only high enough for you to bunch up the material and slip it over his head. You repeated the action with his trousers, allowing him to step free of them and then into the water. 
His skin was covered in bruises, some yellow, some still ripe and purple. His muscles were tense, you could see all the valleys of his toned legs and arms, the contour of each muscle that bound his bones. You touched his arm ever so lightly when it was time for him to step into the tub, adding a handful of soap into the stream of water. 
Brown and red speckled along the surface of the water, the grime leaving his body as he nearly dropped himself into the water. He sighed, the water relaxing the ache in his bones. You grabbed the cloth and saturated it in soap, lifting his arm and dragging the soft material across his skin. A few minor cuts and scrapes, nothing that wouldn’t heal by the morning.
His eyes shut and his head fell against the edge of the tub as you worked your way across his body, stopping only to inspect the cuts adorning his skin. “Come on, Eris, wake up,” you murmured, leaning over from your spot at the edge of the tub. You lifted his head into your hands, scooping the water over his sweat-soaked locks. “Lavender or green apple?” 
He hummed, opening his eyes only just a crack before responding. “Lavender.” His voice was low, so low that you almost didn’t hear it. The purple marks under his eyes were more prominent in the candle light - the male had been through hell and back, clearly, and needed nothing more than your gentle touch to heal him. 
“Then you’ll no doubt fall asleep on me,” you hummed, lathering up the lavender soap in your hands before running your fingers through his hair. Your fingertips scratched at his scalp just the way he liked, running the sudsy soap through his long curls. If he weren’t so tired, he would have grabbed your arms and heaved you over the side of the tub, holding you over his lap while you washed his hair. He’d nip at your breasts as they’d fall right in his face, and maybe he’d tease the head of his cock through your folds as you bounced above him to clean the back of his head.
But he was so fucking tired.
And there was always tomorrow.
“Ok almost done,” you whispered, probably more to yourself than him, as you cleaned the soap from his hair. “You ready to get up? Or are you spending the evening in the tub?”
He smiled for the first time that evening, his lips pressed together with smile lines carved into his cheeks. His eyes had nearly fallen closed again, and although he did feel so comfortable in the warm water, he knew he ought to get up. He’d much rather spend the night in your warm bed wrapped in your arms than the water that was soon to grow cold. 
“Thank you, (Y/N),” he almost moaned, pressing his large hands to the sides of the tub and pushing himself up. The water moved around him, falling off his body in waves. 
“Don’t mention it,” you replied, wrapping a towel over his shoulders and beginning to wipe him dry as he stepped from the bathtub. You fetched some clean clothes for him - his stockpile he’d reserved for when he decided he needed to spend weeks at your house, not daining to leave even to winnow home for more clothes. 
I’m not leaving you, (Y/N). I’ll just have to spend the week naked with you, he’d say. After that week, spent more in his arms than anywhere else, you’d forced him to fill your armoire with clothes for the next impromptu vacation. 
You pushed over the bathroom stool, splaying your hands on his broad back and pushing him towards the chair. You opened up the expensive salve on your counter, swiping some with your fingers and spreading it over his cheeks. You rubbed the salve into his skin - your skin will go dry in the cold, you’d told him. 
In truth, he loved being pampered. He was the High Lord’s son for gods’ sake. He’d been used to a lifetime of it; but his male-pride showed when he’d spend the first night at your house, grimacing as you attempted to put the product on his face. Only this once, he’d responded, giving in only when you’d jutted out your bottom lip in protest. 
But he secretly loved it, and let you do whatever you wanted to him. Which is why he sat so still on that chair when you started to run your fingers through his hair, using the heat building up in your palms and fingers to heat up his hair, drying it quickly as you sifted through it. 
Between the heat and your fingers pulling at his red locks, his head fell backwards and his eyes fell shut once more. You smiled down at the male, with the hard and rigid exterior, the no one can touch me god-like complex, melted and so soft under your touch. 
Once his hair was dry enough where you knew he’d have no issues falling asleep in the cold air of your bedroom, you traced your fingers over his cheeks and down his neck, over his collar bones, then down the thick muscles of his arms. Your thumb drew circles over his hard muscles, still tense and no doubt sore. 
He hummed, a groan deep in his throat, as he opened his eyes and held your wrists in his hands. “We done here?” He grumbled, knowing you’d like to pamper him much more, more serums and salves - and by the Cauldron he wasn’t one to refuse a good massage. 
But you knew he was tired, you bit back the smile and nodded, allowing Eris to finally stand and guide you back to the bedroom. He made sure to get you into bed first, pulling back the covers that were already strewn about from when you’d tried to sleep earlier that evening. You crawled in first, pushing back the layers of covers before so you both could lay out under the blankets. 
Eris followed you in, laying on his side, bending his legs so his feet didn’t hang off the edge. You curled up to his side, chest to chest, enveloped in his warmth. His arm fell across your back, holding you close to him, and you tangled your legs with his under the pile of blankets. Eris’s breathing fell steady - you knew he fell asleep the moment his head hit the soft pillow. 
No matter how hard you’d try to sleep in, you knew you’d wake before him. He was in dire need of a night of undisturbed sleep, relaxation and healing the forefront of his exhausted body’s priorities at the moment. You knew that even if you tried to sneak out as slowly and quietly as you could, he’d hold you tight in his sleep, not even waking to wrap his arms tighter around you. So you’d lie awake in his arms, tracing the scars on his skin and counting the freckles adorning his cheeks. 
But you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Excuse me, I know you wrote for L Lawliet a lot but if you have time could you write for a platonic yandere L Lawliet and a child gender neutral reader? It can be a story or headcanons, anything you want.
Thanks!
Aren't you excited (Platonic Yandere L Lawliet x child reader).
Tumblr media
Check out my other works here: Masterlist

The house was surprisingly quiet today.
You knew why, L was here today. Well not here, it was just him on a computer, but his presence still left an impact. All the other kids were gathered around the computer, asking him question after question.
You never really cared. Unlike some of the other children, you no longer hold out hope that you'll eventually become L successor. You don't wish to waste time striving for an unattainable goal, rather focusing on something much more obtainable, being adopted.
The sounds of children talking was distant but audible, but you choose to ignore it in favor of the book in your lab. This is probably your eighth time reading it, but you enjoy it more than the other books in the library. It's a fantasy novel about a girl traveling through time trying to save her family. It was basic, all the twists and turns very simple, but it had a charm a lot of the other books didn't.
"(Y/N), would you like to talk to L?" A softspoken adult comes up to you, eyeing you at your spot on the couch. You shake your head, sparing them a small glance before returning to your book. The man sighs, walking back over to the computer, whispering something into the microphone as the kids disperse in multiple directions. You can hear the computer shut close as the man walks out of the room with it tucked under its arm, his face adorning an unreadable expression.

During lunch you sat alone.
You've never been good at making friends, the Wammy's house not exactly being an ideal place to foster friendships. Either way, you've always been a solitary person, opting for the comfort of books rather than people.
But for some reason, today was different.
You sat down at your unofficial official table, tucked away in a corner just so you could push away your lunch and read the chosen book of the day.
But today, you were spooked by the sound of the chair across from you scrapping, the soft sound of someone sitting down filling you with dread. Slowly turning your head up, you come face to face with near, L's most likely successor. He gives you a wide eye stare, like he was trying see into your soul.
Admittedly, Near freaked you out. It wasn't unusual for the children at the Wammy's house to be bad at communicating, but with Near, it was different. It wasn't unusual to catch him staring at you, unabashedly, or for him to ask you strange questions that threw you for a loop. In short, you two weren't really the greatest of friends.
"Did you need something?" You whisper to him, giving him a very confused look. Near shuffled into his seat further, his strange way of sitting causing your brow to furrow. His legs were too his chest, his hands resting on his knees. While it looked uncomfortable, he seemed perfectly fine. Almost too fine.
"Why aren't you eating?" He asked, ignoring your question.
Some of the tenseness in your shoulders leave at the sound of his soft voice, but you were still clearly on edge. "I'm reading." You say, shaking your book a little for emphasis. Near nods, an uncaring air around him. He shuffles a bit more, listening to the children around him speaking, his eyes constantly darting from you to the others around you.
You try your hardest to ignore the kid across from you, but every time you felt his gaze flicker towards you, you wanted to fall over and die. Eventually, it becomes too much to bear and with a small huff, you confront the odd boy.
"What do you want." It sounded rude, but you were fed up with the staring and whispers. Despite you clear annoyance, Near doesn't respond instantly, simply tilting his head with a thumb in his mouth.
"Do you ever think about being adopted" He questions. You fumble for a second before countering back.
"Sometimes." That was an understatement, and he could tell. A small, nearly unnoticeable smile crosses his face, though it returns back to his stoic expression before you could comment on it.
"What do you mean, sometimes?" Now he was just playing with you, and irritation was written all across your face.
You shrug your shoulders, the book that was previously in your hands now closed on the table. "I want the same as everyone else here, a happy family." You raise a brow at him, "how about you?"
"Same probably." It was a quick answer, and the strange look on Near's face made you think he was hiding something from you. Though, the blank expression on your face made it hard to get anything out of him.
"He asked for you, y'know?" Your movement stopped. He was referring to L, you could tell by the look on his face, a faraway but somehow focused expression. You, in contrast, were shocked that L knew you. But he probably knew about everyone in the orphanage, right? You didn't want to dwell on it too long, your stomach already hurt from the lack of food, you didn't need to add on nerves on top of it.
"Okay, what about it?" You knew lunch was about to end soon but you wished it was over right now.
Near slowly shuffled off the chair, his eyes never leaving you as he moves. He whispers something too quiet to hear as the squeaking of chairs and sounds of children fill the room. You turn to grab you book, but before you could ask him any more questions, Near was gone.
---
Today, you got a new book.
It was the sequel to the one you were previously reading. You were shocked to see the book in the library. It rarely got new books, and science fiction was definitely at the bottom of the list.
Though, you weren't complaining. It was a nice change of pace to be able to read something new for one. Plus, it was in pristine condition, barely a mark on it. It was like no one had even touched it before you.
"(Y/N), are you listening?" You snap up, a very upset teacher eyeing you. You nod shyly, closing the book slowly while attempting to ignore the giggling of children. The teacher rolls her eyes, very much used to your behavior at this point. "Really, (Y/N), I don't know how you expect to get anywhere with your heads always up in the clouds."
You don't really process her words, used to them at this point. You weren't like the other children, you weren't naturally gifted, you didn't have the same skills as them. You rather spend your time in your own world, than in one that seemed so against you.
A knock on the door turned your attention away from the teacher, a man entering the room. He was the same one from the other day, the soft-spoken man who seemed very annoyed with your reluctance to talk to L. His eyes darted around the room, landing on yours for a second to long, causing you to look down at your lap in embarrassment. The teacher acknowledged his presence by speeding over to him, exchanging whispers to each other for a few moments.
The classroom was dead silent as the teacher pointed towards you and directed you to the man, motioning you out of the room. So much was communicated without words. You knew it was urgent by the jolts and jerks of her movement, and by how the man placed his hand on your back to get you to move faster though the long winding hallways.
It felt like hours of walking before you were sat down in an empty classroom. It looked like it had been empty for a while, noted by the dust lining the tables and the thick air surrounding you. "Please, sit near the front." He said, pointing to the closest table. You fumble for a few seconds, very confused and nervous, before sitting down, smoothing down your clothes in an attempt to self sooth.
A piece of paper and a pencil is placed down on your desk, "All you need to do is answer the questions." He said, his voice calm as ever, though there was a hit of edge behind every word. "Most of them are opinion based, so don't dwell on the questions to long." He paused, sitting down at the teacher's desk in the front of the classroom. "Please just...answer honestly." His words become quite as he continues, but they fill you this enough dread to take them to heart.
You lean forward, slowly moving your seat as to make as little noise as possible. You flip the paper, nothing on the back, and the front appeared to only have five questions.
Question number one, "what is your favorite food?" You tilt your head, confused, but ultimately relieved that it was simple to answer. You scribble down a few words before moving onto the next one.
Question number two, "where do you want to live when you grow up?" Slightly strange question, usually it's what you want to do when you grow up, but sure, you weren't really complaining. Again, you write a few things until you feel satisfied.
Question number three, "Do you have difficulty making friends?" You almost drop your pencil at the question, but you calm yourself quickly. You don't know how to answer the question really, but you think of Near, and your very few conversations. They were fine, but you were never really friends, at least you don't think so. You wonder if Near thought of you as a friend.
Question number four, "Would you like to be adopted?" What sort of question was that, of course you did. Wasn't that the point of everyone here. You dreamed of having a normal, simple family. Instead, you're stuck here, for what seems like forever. You don't say that though, just writing down something simple.
Question number five, "Describe your ideal father figure." You racked your brain for an example, but nothing really came. Instead, your mind went to the protagonist father in your favorite book. He was a reserved man but had a deep love for his daughter. He did everything in his power to keep her safe, eventually even sacrificing himself to have her live. You admired the selflessness of the man, his devotion to his child, and his desire to keep her safe. If you have a father, you'd want one like that. You write it down quickly.
After finishing all the questions, you stand up and rush over to the table, placing the paper down in front of the man. You stand still as he grabs the paper, placing it in a folder and then in his bag. "Good, good, thank you." He gives you an awkward smile, "You can return to class now."
You nod, shuffling toward the door, your fists tightly clenched as anxiousness filled your body. Before you can leave, you're turning around quickly, facing the man. "What was the test for?" You ask, voice wavering.
The man barely spares you a glance as he collects his things and stands up. "You don't have to worry about it for now." Again, there was that smile, and your stomach churned.
---
Today was quiet.
L wasn't here today, or you guess, he wasn't on the computer today. The common room was filled with children quietly talking, doing homework, playing games. You, like every other day, was sitting on your spot in the couch, reading your book.
Everyone in a while, you look over at the children playing games. It wasn't uncommon to see children playing games together, but the games looked new, some even still covered in plastic wrap. You assumed that they were donated, or that one of the caretakers bought them.
The new board games brought your mind to your new book, pristine and untouched. It was strange, all these new items popping up in the orphanage. Entranced by your thoughts, you rub the edge of your book. It couldn't have been a coincident, you were the only one that read that book, so much that the librarian let you keep it indefinitely.
Maybe she was being nice, saw that you enjoyed the book, and bought you the rest of the series. But even she was surprised by new book, like she wasn't aware of its existence.
"(Y/N)." You look up, it was someone different, and older man this time. "May I have a word with you?" You nod, closing your book and placing it on the couch.
You follow the man into a much more formal room than the classroom you were in yesterday. It was mostly bare, simply a desk with two chairs across it. You take a seat, the old man following suit, grasping his hands together as he places them in the middle of the desk.
The man smiles, noting your clear nerves, "don't worry, you're not in trouble." You nod, letting out an audible exhale. The man chuckles, his smile not leaving, which calms you a little. "I have some news about your potential adoption."
You barely have time to feel any happiness before you're asking questions. "I-I'm sorry. Who are you?" You ask with a tilt of your head. The man doesn't react to your confusion, his expression never changing.
"I am Watari." He said and your eyes wide. You knew about Watari, but most children don't see him these days. He was always concerned with L, and unless you were likely to be his successor, you were not likely to see him.
Watari is perceptive and can tell your discomfort at his precedence. He reclines back in his chair, leaving some space in between you too. He sighs, calm and gentle, it was hard to tell he was an old man, other than his old looks. "I promise there's nothing to worry about." He pauses, watching your breathing calm, "L has...taken an interest in you, to say the least." He mumbles the last part. "He's been keeping an eye on you; he knows your favorite color, your favorite food, your favorite book." He lists things off, one by one, they bring you no comfort.
"You know, a part of me considers L my son. I care about him deeply." His words were serious, a contrast to his previous infliction. "I know he would do the same if given the chance."
You didn't know how to respond. You didn't know what to think. It was hard to think under these circumstances. You don't imagine you have a choice, judged by the way Watari is framing his words. He wasn't offering something; he was telling you what was going to happen.
"I'll help you pack your things, will leave in a few minutes." He guides you out the room, heading towards your bedroom. You shake of your confusion, stumbling slightly towards the common room.
In your seat was Near, his book in his hands, skimming though the pages. When you enter, he looks up, offering one of his strange smiles. "Aren't you excited?" You don't respond as he hands you the book.
Suddenly, all the love you once had for it gone.

A/n: Sorry for the lack of L, hope you still enjoyed it.

Tumblr media
James peered through the door to see you sitting on the bed, laptop on your lap, head in hands, and a pair of headphones thrown randomly across the room. You looked a mess, and James was worried you hadn't slept enough. Your novel had to be perfect! You needed to spend every moment writing! Every word needed to be up to standard. It drove you crazy and led you to fall asleep right then and there. Everything came crashing down when your headphones broke while taking them off. Instead of freaking out and crying, you just let out a sigh and threw them across the room.
The man stood there, staring at you while you slept, intently watching every unconscious move your body took. He wondered how on earth that odd device in your lap could cause you such problems. Wasn't it meant to make writing easier? Maybe so, but didn't stop the frustrations of wanting to write the next great American novel. It just worried him, and he kneeled by your side. Seeing how you breathed, how you gently gripped the pillow and your eyebrows furrowed together in frustration. A dream or nightmare of something that has stressed you out.
"James." You whimpered in your sleep. It made the man jump back slightly before he walked to the other side of the bed, sitting by your side. Worries were overtaking your wonderous dream. James wanted nothing more than to kill who was hurting you in your beautiful mind.
The night went on, and you woke up slowly at whatever time. You couldn't tell, and you also didn't care. James was sitting on one of the chairs, occasionally looking over to you. The curtains were always closed, and the door barely stayed open. Lights were on, but dim. Sitting up, you rubbed your eyes, and the figure sitting in the chair was blurry. "Love, you're awake." He mentioned when he saw you sit up. You nodded in response. The ghost motioned you to come over, which you obliged despite not understanding much around you. Leather chairs were never comfortable. You were so comfortable in the bed, thinking about how to write, what to write and the deadline.
"What is it, James? I was so comfortable." Grogginess was the undertone in your voice, and you were unable to keep your eyes open. It felt like 2am or 3am. But what a ravishing man next to you. He sat up properly, posture still incredible even after death. Then you were curling up on the cold, leathery, old chair, hugging yourself.
"Dear...I want to talk to you."
"We can do that in the morning."
"No." His voice almost snapped and was rushed. "No...we're alone at this hour." Typical. The night was his favourite time to talk. Sure some people were still awake, but he knew how silent it was at 3am.
"Fine." You groaned slightly. "What did you want to talk abou-"
"Your desires. Your true wants, and needs." Sudden eye contact intimidated you and your sleepy eyes. Cue fiddling with your necklace, your own blood vial. The small amount of liquid rushed around in the vial, caused by your own finger. You never had anyone to do it with you.
You never said it creepily! All you asked your friends was if they wanted to share a blood vial because it was pretty. No one accepted. So you cut your finger. Your pinky on your non-dominant hand. It hurt, but only for a second. Seeing the blood slowly drip out, and the skin layers opening up so quick, it was invigorating for you. Opened up a deep fantasy, and morbid desire. One no one was ever told about. It was a secret to you, and maybe your stuffed animals. Was it that James was asking you to explore those fantasies with him? Impossible unless he could read minds. A secret fantasy like this always hid itself in the back of your mind, never to be found.
James noticed your darting eyes, your fiddling and laboured breaths. "Darling.." He trailed off, feeling your free hand softly, almost too soft. You felt the ghost-like touches (ha-) and your bloodshot eyes met his.
"James, you're..a murderer."
"...Well, yes. I have indeed told you that fact before. In fact, you were not as shocked as others. Humans are fascinating creatures." He chuckled, seeing the humour in your sentence.
Ah, a sentence that put you on edge. They are. Humans, with their layers, complexity. Humans with their need to have attention on them at all times, to create for others. All of it, it was all in your obsession. "Tell me about your interest my hummingbird. Nothing can be too much for me."
"Can I? Can I really?" You asked with a whisper, a slight glint appearing in your eyes. James nodded, and you immediately let loose. A dam breaking in half to bring in a flood. "Human bodies are so, fascinating." Your instant smile was almost manic like you lost your mind when your interest was mentioned.
"Medical shows seldom get it right. Scrubs does. They do it well."
"Have you, ever seen a body in real life? Not on these shows you mention?" James interjected. He wanted to ask you for details of your sick and morbid love for the dead. To see if his erection would get any harder. The thought of seeing you killing or exploring a body, covered in blood made James want to fall harder for you. Your crazy matched his crazy. Maybe more.
"No. It's...a dream though. Whether someone else cut open the body, or I cut them open...I've always wanted to dig around and feel what the organs feel like, hold a bloody bone in my hand..." You then go to bite my nails nonchalantly like you didn't just confirm your want for a morbid and murdering mind. He stared at you, something in his eyes. A sudden need to murder, and a flame of lust for you. Knowing someone shared his deep desires and could help each other, it made him want you more, But hid it with a breath.
"It's so fucking deranged! but the body is so complex. I want to study the tiny nerves and pick out the bones or organs I'm closest to. Having a fully empty body. Maybe even just having a skin and muscle body. It's just so, interesting." A sly smile reached you and almost made you giggle like a maniac. This sudden insanity made James light up.
"Come here." He beckoned you, and you submissively stood in front of him. But not 3 seconds later did he pull you down onto his lap, holding your waist. Gripping your skin, and nails digging into your sides. One more word from you about your loves, and he would have taken you right then and there. "You are, full of surprises my love."
Feeling him under you, you bit your lip and rested your head by his ear. "I bet your ghostly body is the most interesting. I wonder if there's anything different about a ghost body compared to an alive body." You gave in to what he wanted. He wanted to know everything. Every gory detail that your horrid brain could conjure up. Adding to your warm breaths on his neck, you gently traced around his chest, fiddling with his buttons, but never undoing them. Teasing James to hell and back.
James' breathing hitched slightly, before he took a hold of your face, and brought you close, noses almost touching. "Tell me. What else do you want to explore? Please."
You gazed at his lips before meeting his dark eyes once again, "Everything. I want to explode a heart. Maybe even open up organs, and see what makes a human tick. Take out the muscles, and bend them backwards. And, I want to knock open a skull. See what makes a human live. Unravel the brains, read what goes on." While talking, you occasionally moved your fingers to where you were talking, letting your fingers trace James' head and slicked back hair.
He shuddered as you moved around. Both his imagination and yours going crazy. You felt him twitch under you, and it was only a matter of time until he gave in to his lust. This urged you to carry on talking, to dig deeper into the fantasy that you forbade yourself from thinking about. "James?"
He whined out a "hm?" Eyes closed, and hands gripping onto the chair arms.
"give me a fresh body."
"wh.. what?" He spluttered before moving his hands around your torso. The way your soft skin moved in his hands, mouldable like putty.
"cover me in someone's blood. And let me taste the sweet iron on my tongue." The way you spoke felt sensual, and you ran your hands through his hair, the slicked-back threads being thrown in any and all directions.
It simply drove the man insane.
"Your wish is always my command my sweet bird." He was hungry. He wanted to devour your words while they were being choked out of you. He wanted to hear your cries for murder while he fucked you like nothing else mattered. "What, other things do you wish to see? How much depraved insanity can one handle?" James picked you up and almost threw you onto the bed.
First your shirt went, then your trousers. His clothing came next. "I have such an urge to kill. I want to see the way a human body dies." You sighed. His vest went in one direction, your bra went the other way. "How fire burns the skins and the muscles. I want to see a fresh slash open up the layers of skin. I want it all James."
The cold man on top of you hadn't even penetrated you, yet he felt like he was close to an orgasm. Hearing your insane wants and needs so close to his own. Using your depraved thoughts as a way to get him to fuck you was nothing but insanity. Craziness you could only tell him.
"I want to kill someone whilst you're inside of me. Is that crazy to want?" You confessed in a whisper, on your knees and undoing James' belt.
"Nothing is crazy my hummingbird. I'll happily oblige." He took your chin in his hand, doe eyes meeting his. The pure, slightly innocent look on your face made him closer and closer to bending you over and making you feel heaven. You reached your hand up to his velvet, but he hissed slightly and backed away. "Bunny..." He panted.
"I know it's sensitive, but can I see..it sir?" You asked, pressing kisses closer and closer to the wound that haunted James so. He felt frozen. You wanted to see something so, forbidden. Something he never let anyone see. Something that held a memory.
He took a deep breath before pushing his control back onto you. "My... you want something so...forbidden.." and you nodded intensely. He was only left in his velvet and boxers. Something had to go first, it had to be that dear fabric he wore so closely.
"I won't touch it, I promise. I just, fuck, I want to see neck layers, I want to see what nerves you had to cut for this to happen to you." You knew it was an odd choice, but he nodded after a few minutes of silence. He stiffened up as you reached behind his neck and pulled it off slowly. The man couldn't find words to describe the way he felt. Having someone be so, interested and obsessed with the way he died, almost wanting to have sex with him because of the fantasies they denied.
Your deep breaths felt warm against the cold cut, and you spoke before James had a chance to tell you to stop. "Oh, James. Oh, this cut is magnificent. So many layers..how much blood spilt out..?"
The question threw James off a bit, but nonetheless, he was happy to answer, getting closer to fucking you at every point. "More than you could imagine." He left his fingertips resting under your chin.
The words that left his lips almost tipped you over the edge, and you forced James to lie down on the bed. You were, once again, on top of him. This time, tugging at his boxers, and moving your own underwear to the side. Everything hit you like a freight train and you couldn't hold back anymore. Degenerate, depraved, blood fuelled sex. It was what you needed. To be filled by a killer you wanted to kill with.
Two pairs of hands unable to sort and fix themselves in one place, they had to move, they had to grip, scratch and trace. Two pairs of eyes focusing on eachother, unable to look away from the bloodlust you felt for the other.
It was rough, fast and hard. He moaned out for you louder than he had ever been before. You whimpered his name, desperate for a quick release. There were no other noises other than your lewd moans, until you stopped all of a sudden.
"Darling.." James whined slightly. Eyes slightly erratic, you held his face in your soft hands.
"I need you James. I need you eternally. To see you covered in the deep red of blood." The utmost eroticness of your words almost earned you a 'fuck' escaping from your partner below you.
Almost.
Instead he groaned, slapped his hands to your waist and thrusted upwards over and over. It was careless, but hard. Every thrust hit that perfect spot inside you, letting your eyes nearly disappear up into your head. Moans were practically screams.
The thought of seeing you covered in blood, waiting for him to take you made the man desperate. Everything everyone else couldn't be. He was getting close and even more desperate for both you to come at the same time. It drove you over the edge as you finished faster than expected, and you sort of wrapped your hands around James' neck, then laid down the best you could while he was still inside you. He chuckled darkly and thrust inside of you once more, earning an almost pornagraphic moan from you.
Feeling paralyzed, you adjusted yourself so you were simply just laying ontop of James. Silence was the best sound at that moment, and he kept his hands placed on your waist. "Mine." He smiled against the crook of your neck.
"Especially because of my deranged, bloody thoughts?"
"Especially because of these beautiful thoughts you have."
You supposed James was your murdering partner now, and would help you fulfill the fantasies you desired for. A gentleman, yet a physcopath who used the bodies of those he killed. Everything about him shouldn't be so, handsome and you shouldn't want him the way you do. But a murdering gentleman is someone you couldn't refuse.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
You and Remus share a love of reading, and one of his books reveals his feelings for you — remus x fem!reader
warnings: n/a
words: 1k
Tumblr media
You walked into the Gryffindor common room and your best friend didn't even look towards the portrait hole. Remus was sitting on the couch, taking up all three seats as he focused on his book. 
He didn't notice you at all until you crouched down next to his head and ruffled his chestnut hair. 
"Hey." He said softly. "I didn't even hear you come in."
Remus dog-eared the corner of his page so he could close it without losing his spot, then sat up a bit, leaving a place on the couch for you. You would normally hate people mistreating their books—folded pages and messy annotations—but you'll make an excuse in your morals for Remus. 
You smiled at him, then sat down between his legs, ignoring the free seat. 
"What are you reading?" You asked him. 
He lifted up the book to show you the cover. "It's called 'Their Eyes Were Watching God'. It's really good so far." 
"I haven't read that one." You said, your hands running across the knitted hem of his jumper. "What's it about?" 
"A muggle book, of course. It's like one woman's journey through life with a lot of focus on how her three husbands shaped her views on life." He looked slightly embarrassed.  "My description doesn't do it justice." 
You smiled. Partly to show you were interested in the book, and partly because he was so cute when he spoke about anything he liked. 
"It's okay, it sounds interesting." You said sweetly. 
Remus looked relieved at your reaction. A smile mirroring graced his soft features, mirroring yours. 
"You can borrow it if you want." He opened the book to his current page to show how far he was. You saw the pages were full of notes and scribbles in his messy handwriting, and it just made you more excited to read it. 
"I've only got half a chapter left. As soon as I'm done, it's yours."  
"Thanks, Rem." 
You were best friends, so sharing something as small as a book really shouldn't have been a big deal. It was to you, though. It was a big deal because it was something of Remus' that you could have, even just for however long it took you to read the novel. You would have to settle for that if you couldn't be more than friends with him. 
As a blush fell across your cheeks, you realised you wouldn't be able to hide your embarrassment. You said goodbye to Remus, then you went up to your dorm while he went back to his book. 
✦✧✦✧✦
Remus had given you the book at dinner, then you had each gone to your own dorms after that. 
You laid in your bed and started reading almost immediately after you got the book. 
Remus was right; it was an amazing book. You couldn't put it down, and you were sure it was going to be a new favourite of yours. You even had a piece of parchment next to you where you were writing notes about the book so you could talk about it with Remus once you finished. 
You admired every word that Remus wrote in the margins. You were lost in the book and everything about it until you came across one line. 
'He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring.' 
It wasn't just the beautiful quote that threw you off, but the new ink next to it.
In the margins of the book, you saw Remus' adorable handwriting. Your name encased in an asymmetrical heart. 
You couldn't help but smile while you processed what this little annotation meant. He had read that lovesick line and thought of you. Just as you had thought of him. You both felt the same way about each other. 
Shoving your face in a pillow to suppress the noise, you let out a cross between a giggle and a squeal at the revelation. 
Then you were snapped out of your schoolgirl daydreaming by a few quick raps against the thick wood of your door. 
You stood up, smoothing your skirt and hiding your smile as you made your way across the room. 
"Remus, what are you doing here?" You asked. 
He was standing breathless at the door like he had raced up here. He looked distracted, scoping out the room. You looked where his eyes landed, and it was the book left lying on your bed. 
"Hey, I actually need that book back. I'm really sorry, I know you wanted to—" 
You cut him off before he could finish whatever excuse he was going to give you. 
"I saw it already." You told him. 
"You— You did?" Remus asked. He looked like he was going to faint, and it scared you because you knew bones would be broken if he fell on you. "I'm sorry. We can just pretend—" 
You cut him off once more, but this time without words. You reached up to place one hand on the nape of his neck, and one by his ear. You pulled him closer to you. Once he leaned down to your level, you kissed your best friend right on the lips. 
You were scared at first that this was all a big misunderstanding and that he was about to push you away in horror. But it wasn't, and he didn't. He kissed you back, bringing his arms up to cup your face. After a second of pure bliss in what had been a daydream for the both of you for years, you pulled your lips off of his. 
You two stayed together, your foreheads resting against each other, breathing heavier than normal. 
"I don't want to pretend." A smile spread across your face as you spoke the words. 
"Me neither." 
He pulled away again and pressed a gentle kiss to the top of your head. 
With that, you knew the book was your new favourite.

How the OP boys would react to you encasing your head in their pecs part 3
Tumblr media
part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 (wip)
It had been a long day, all you had wanted since you woke up was to go see your boyfriend. But at long last, you were together.
Smoker
You were pooped, you were G-5's navigator for its main ship, Smoker's ship. You had spent all day tracking a cyclone and filling out reports for HQ about it, and the possible damages to the fleet the ship was traveling with. But you were done and just wanted to curl up with your boyfriend, Smoker, and fall asleep in his arms. When you got to your quarters you could hear the shower going, meaning he was home. You kicked off your shoes, face-planted into your bed, and groaned loudly into the sheets. "babe, is that you?" you heard Smoker call from the bathroom.
You flopped over and replied, "yeah, it's me!"
The shower turned off, and Smoker appeared in the doorway a moment later. He had only a towel haphazardly wrapped around his waist and was dripping water on the floor, and unsurprisingly had a fat cigar hanging from his mouth. He smirked down at you and chuckled, "you look exhausted."
"And you look gorgeous," you retorted grinning at him when a flustered blush and a cute little pout spread across his face.
Smoker blew a dripping wet white lock of hair out of his face before he grumbled, "would you like to join me in the shower?"
You got up and took off your shirt tossing it across the room. You did not miss the look of hunger that ignited in his eyes as you stalked towards him. His eyes were locked on the sway of your hips up until you stood in front of him making his eyes flick up to your face. You wrapped your arms around him and pressed your head into his chest. You froze, his muscles felt so tight and his skin was dry. You looked up at him and growled, "you didn't eat or drink today, did you?"
Smoker quickly averted his eyes and began to stammer, "well, I had a glass of scotch with some peanuts an hour ago."
You rolled your eyes and pulled away from him, "I'll join you in the shower after I order us some food and drinks from the kitchens."
Smoker awkwardly nodded his head and slunk back into the bathroom.
Tumblr media
Sabo
You were finally back from your mission, you had not been back home in almost three months. You were so tired, that you crawled into bed and fell asleep without changing your clothes or taking off your shoes. You were woken up several hours later by someone crawling into bed with you. Not remembering where you were, you grappled them until you were pinning them face down to the mattress with your knee on the back of their neck and their arm wrenched painfully back as you held it over your shoulder.
"owwwhahaow! Is that any way to treat your boyfriend after three months apart!"
"Sabo! Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot I was home," you exclaimed, switching to straddling him, and you released his arm. He rolled over and gave you a dopey smile. "so, how was your mission, my love?"
Enamored by his cuteness, you replied, "painfully boring," as buried your face into his chest. You were truly happy to see him after so long. Sabo laughed flipped you over, so he was on top, and began to tickle your sides. As his fingers danced against your skin you screamed for mercy between your laughs.
Tumblr media
Rob Lucci
You came in and chucked your bag against the wall and kicked off your shoes, and took off your pants at the door. You left your pants on the floor as you made your way into the kitchen, you were pissed off because your asshole boss had chewed you out over something that wasn't your fault. You threw open the refrigerator door, grabbed a bag of baby carrots, and aggressively chomped down on one. All you could think of to soothe yourself was a glass of brandy, order take-out, and maybe lose yourself in a trashy novel.
"My my my, what's got your tail in such a knot, darling?" a dusky voice purred from the shadows of the living room.
Your head whipped in its direction only for you to make out your boyfriend's silhouette in the darkness. He was lounging lazily on his armchair, the one you weren't allowed to sit in even when he wasn't there. Rob wasn't wearing a shirt and his hair hung loosely around his shoulders. You felt tears begin to prick your eyes ass you squeaked out, "Rob, you're home!"
He hummed, "hmm yes, I'm home, now tell me what's got you so down."
"my boss was just a dick head and yelled at me when he was really angry with someone else." You said as you tottered over to him.
Rob rolled his eyes and mumbled, "you know you could just quit that job. I said I'd take care of you Pet."
You wrapped your arms around him and pressed your face into his chest. You sighed, "I feel better now that you're home."
He was quiet for a moment, before pushing you away. "I don't recall giving you permission for you to touch me."
You snapped back and gasped, "I'm sorry."
A malicious smile parted his lips revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth. Rob growled, "on your knees, Pet, lets me hear you beg for my affection." He put his heel on your shoulder and pushed you gently onto your knees between his spread legs on the floor in front of his chair.
You looked up at him and felt the weight of the day, of everything since he left. Tears clouded your vision and streamed down your face. If this affected Rob, he didn't show it. You pleaded, "Please, I need you. Whenever you're away it feels like I'm dying."
Rob smirked, your words stroked his ego and his kinks just right. He sat up, threaded his fingers in the hair on top of your head, and he pressed your head against the inside of one of his thighs. You watched his adam's apple bob as he downed his brandy, and softly scratched at your scalp with blunt nails.
"Well then, let's move this to the bedroom shall we?" He said as he pulled you into his arms.
Tumblr media
Zoro
You had been watching Zoro nap while you were sunbathing next to Nami. She gave you a knowing grin as she said, "I'll raise your shore leave stipend by four hundred berries if you go be lovesick somewhere else."
"Deal," you replied, leaving your seat and going down to Zoro without hesitation. You sat next to him and admired his peaceful expression. You ignored the cook's comments on how he'll never understand what you like about Zoro. You liked how honest he was, his stupid sense of humor, and how reliable he was in tough situations. Zoro's smart mouth, pretty face, sexy body, and cute blush were merely a bonus.
A sudden gust of wind jerks the sails taunt, making the sunshine directly in Zoro's face. You smiled when he furrowed his eyebrows and screwed up his face at the light. He groaned, "why are you watching me sleep, you weirdo," his voice still thick with sleep.
"Because you're cute," you giggled, brushing a lock of green hair out of his face.
After listening to Sanji make loud fake gagging noises Zoro asked, "want to go inside? Where we won't have to listen to the idiot cook be seasick."
"SEASICK!" Sanji yelled.
Zoro scooped you up and carried you inside the boy's lodgings. You mused, "you really love bugging him don't you?"
"I don't even really have to try, do I?" Zoro grumbled, laying down on his hammock.
You made yourself comfortable in his lap and nuzzled your face into his chest. Zoro blushed, and gasped, "what are you doing?"
"Enjoying your muscles and your cute blush," you snickered.
When he realized you were teasing him, the warm palm of his hand pressed your face back into his pecs. He snapped, "Huuh? Just who do you think you're talking to?"
You held your breath for as long as you could, you couldn't breathe and you slapped on his arm to signal that you yielded to him. When Zoro let you go he pinched your cheek and growled, "what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm sorry, but you're just too cute for me to be able to resist teasing you," You whined, making his glare at you as a blush bloomed on his cheeks and dusted the tips of his ears. Zoro grumbled at you to go to sleep and pressed you back against his chest.

Tumblr media
-
You and Eddie had been friends since you started Hawkins highschool last Autumn. You loved how much of a statement he made in the bleak town both of you quickly agreed upon leaving in the dust when summer rolled around and you both walked across the stage.
You fit right in with his group of boys that dangled with admonished eyes at every display, every word, every story. They saw him as a god amongst hormone riddled boys.
You however, saw very differently. Not afraid to call him an idiot, not afraid to scold him into studying, which led to study sessions in his trailer. It was those dumb study sessions where you fell irreparably in love with Eddie Munson.
He was not the brave warrior of his little character. He was still loud as when he threw on a show, yes, but everything he said was with passion and enthusiasm. He held a joy about him you grew addicted to.
He was soft at times. He’d read you excerpts from the novels he borrowed from the book store you worked at. He would sit and chatter in the smoke filled room as you passed a blunt between you two, giggling yourselves to sleep.
It was so disgustingly obvious how in love with him you were. You essentially followed him like a puppy the you had to catch him in the hallways. You always asked him everything in a bright way that only someone utterly obsessed with everything about someone would say.
It caught on however. You’d find the same gooey look in his eyes when he’d watch you flip through pages of a textbook.
You’re not sure when it was that it crossed the border to more than friends. It wasn’t like falling in love for the both of you. It was drifting right into it, letting it take over as you slowly dropped every wall around hiding your feelings.
It started with a kiss to the cheek on occasion. It developed slow, into small pecks on the face in the quiet space between you when you’d stay over.
The first time you kissed was like you’d done it a million times, and you could do it a million more.
The slip of his lips was easy, you both slid together in sync, a perfect balance.
You never addressed it really. The both of you just embraced what felt right, not caring for the formalities of what proper courting was.
He’d kiss you soft as you left, you’d smile into it, taking in the slight taste of cigarettes on his lips.
“See ya” He’d whisper, before recapturing you. You shake your head with that love sick grin that he teased you for.
-
And together you both graduated later that year. You’d wrapped your arms so tightly around him in pride. He laughed burying his face in your hair.
“I’m so fucking proud of you.” You muttered. Pulling away as others approached you.
“I knew you had it in you!” Eddie's uncle clapped him on the back. He smiled his big dopey grin at you, his and Eddies both shared similarities.
While you saw him on brief occasions, all of which were pleasant, the way eddie talked about him was full of joyful moments.
He really cared about Eddie, and Eddie cared for you, so he offered with open arms a hug.
You accepted it with almost watery eyes.
You spotted your dad approaching, stiffening up a bit and pulling away from Wayne.
“Dad!” You said as he approached, he grumbled curses as he wiped sweat from his brow.
“You got the paper?” He asked curtly, you felt your body tense as he was in an irritable mood already.
“Uh yeah, its in this.” You handed him the book-ish folder that your diploma was in.
“Ok, let's get going then it’s hot.”
You knew he didn't want to come originally. Knew his tantrums were bound to flair up in the inconvenience of it all. He was spoiling your excitement like water to a match tip.
“Actually, uhm, I was gonna go celebrate with Eddie and Wayne.” You said, motioning to where Eddie seemed to grit his teeth at your fathers attitude.
“Alright, call me later if your coming home.”
You knew you weren’t. You knew exactly how this night would go.
You’d had celebrations before. Anniversaries, Birthdays, Eddie absolutely acing his finals.
All of these occasions ending the same way. Your face in the downy pillows of Eddies bed, choking on whines as Eddie fucked deep into you.
You learned quickly as things in you relationship escalated, one of which, was: Eddie was a fucking perv.
He’d grab at your ass and grumble filthy words into your ear when he’d see you in the hallway.
He would almost drool every time you changed clothes in front of him. Eyes locked on your body as you tried to shy away.
He referred to your chest as “My ladies” often. You’d greet him at his van after work sometimes and he’d ask.
“How was it? How's my girls?”
Before his hands would cup your flesh right on the dark sidewalk outside of the brick book store.
He loved the v-neck cut of the plain black shirt you wore to work.
You always grumbled away from his advances in public. Bickering about how he needed to learn so decency.
It was in private where you’d let yourself melt at how keyed up you made him. He would grab and nip at you while you made out. You’d catch him looking down your baggy t-shirts. He’d angle himself to look up your skirt when you’d lay on his bed on the rare occasion you wore them. It felt good to be pretty sometimes.
He was downright gross . Prying eyes and dog-like behavior. But you loved it. It was endearing even.
You liked the way he’d blushed when you found a pair of your dirty panties stuffed in between his wall and the bed. How he would keep polaroids in his wallet for ‘when i jerk off in my car after i leave your place’.
He’d woken you up to wet, sucking kisses on your neck as you felt his hips grind against yours. You would whimper to let him know you were awake.
He could get hard from you changing in front of him. Infact, you’d seen it happen.
It was before the two of you had started having casual sex. You’d only gone as far as heavy petting while making out on the squeaky mattress in his trailer.
It was warm out, and the heat was seemingly stagnant in the trailer. Beads of sweat dribbled down your back making you shiver.
He’d noticed your discomfort, not long after he’d shed his t-shirt for a thinner fabric, cropped just below his belly button. You tried to be polite about it, not letting your gaze linger on the hair that traveled under the waist of his pants.
He’d casted you a teasing look with his big round eyes and it made your heat flushed cheek hotter.
“You distracted?” He asked from where he sat on the edge of the bed now. Gazing up and ushering you closer.
His hands were always grabby. He’d brush them over the curves of your waist. If you wore lower cut tops he wasn’t hesitant to grope and squeeze at them until you were melting under him.
You scoffed tearing away from how his eyes were tracing every curve of your damp skin.
“I have a few tank tops you can change into, might be cooler than your pretty little blouse.” He said, running his fingers over the buttons lining the front of your shirt.
“Yeah- sure.” You’d sputtered, nervous at the option to wear something of his. To look like his. It felt like he was staking a claim whenever he would offer his worn t-shirts, riddled with burn holes and smelling of his cigarettes and the sweet detergent Wayne washed it with.
You weren’t nervous for him to see your body. He’d said so many sugar sweet words before on the occasion he’d see your eyes linger too long on where the pudge of your stomach lay.
He’d just never seen it bare. Something you kept away from him with your own selfishness he’d say it was later on.
You made a hasty move removing your blouse, you revealed the cami you wore under.
Your back was turned to him, glancing over your shoulder he was awkwardly avoiding your body as he flicked his gaze between your eyes and the items scattered around
You could laugh at his nervousness, it was so cute how there was tinges of expectancy in his eyes.
You teased while removing your cami, stretching your arms over your head in a show as you fluidly let it drop beside you. You were now only in a pair of high waisted shorts.
The relief from the heat was almost immediate. You sighed, turning around to look back at eddie.
“God, i didn’t realize how god awful sweating in those blouses is” You laughed out, turning to see Eddie again.
He was flushed cheeked and he was now unabashed about letting his eyes roam your body. You smirked, cocking a hip at him. He blinked a few times.
“Did you say something?” He said dumbly. You scoffed just to tease, watching as he grinned and raised to his feet.
“oh come on pretty” He cooed, you felt your knees weaken as he approached. You were nervous under how dark his gaze looked.
“Don’t be mad at me bunny.” He said lightly. You huffed at him as your cheeks heated.
“Finish changing.” He said, it was demanding, you felt a jolt as you moved with a quickness.
Your nipples pebbles even in the heat. You couldn’t help letting your gaze flicker to Eddies who looked right back, his lip caught between teeth as you stood bare chested.
You pulled the black fabric of his shirt over your head. He moved away slightly, you saw what could be classified as disappointment flicker over his face.
If it wasn’t for your eyes wondering on their own you would have missed the bulge that pressed against the seam of his pants.
Your eyes widened, cheeks going all the more hot as he smirked at you from where he’d now stretched out on his mattress.
-
His tendencies worsened once the metaphorical rope of tension snapped and he was regularly pounding you into his mattress.
He’d pull you under the bleachers while you were supposed to be running the mile in your gym class. All because his eyes couldn’t leave how good you looked in your running shorts.
“My pretty baby, all mine.” He growled as he sunk two fingers into you.
“E-Eddie.” You whimpered as your eyes scanned to where chatters of your classmates were heard.
“Shhh, quiet now bunny. Don’t want us caught.” He pressed a kiss to your sweaty neck.
His fingers worked magic on you. Which is one of the only reasons you two were able to do these risky things. He knew how to play your body like the strings of his beloved guitar, with just as much skill and practice that it was a quick few moments of hiding pants into his shoulder before you were clenching around his fingers in release.
“You okay baby?” He’d always ask as you gasped through the after shocks, his fingers now gently moving in you to wring out any pleasure left.
“Mhm, so good.” You muttered back, slightly dazed and your clavicle began aching from where he’d sucked the skin between
gnawing teeth.
-
There were instances where he’d put his desperation to the side, where he’d kiss you slow and sweet, not initiating anymore than what he was giving.
Lucky for him though this made heat pool between your legs. You loved the feeling of him against you, just basking in the feeling of your mouth.
Your hips would buck against his and he would let out a low chuckle before pressing a kiss to your cheek and pulling away.
“Not right now my eager bunny.” He’d utter, just to see you shiver and your eyebrows pinch together with dissatisfaction.
“Eds- c’mon.” You begged tugging on his ratty old t-shirt, slightly damp with the heat that permeated the trailer even as fall was in full swing the heat never seemed to leave the confines of his room.
“baby, just let me love on you.” He groaned, sweet as ever.
You whined, but eagerly accepted his gentle kisses against your sternum. His big doe eyes crinkled with a smile.
This was newer than sex was. Moments where he was truly and utterly wrapped around your finger. Love spilling from ever brush of skin and every press of lips.
It was truly something profound to be loved by Eddie munson and there was nothing in the world you could give to replace the feeling.
He’d weaseled his way right into your very core, implanting himself with curls, and softness and words.
And under your body's desperate plea for release, you wallow in the loneliness of your room at night thinking about those moments. How tender, how gut wrenching, how it was now more than sex to the both of you.
Even with his antics he was probably the only person you’ve ever loved so fully. Every inch of you loved him.
You tried to consolidate the feelings of just wanting to climb inside his chest and lay there for ever. You pressed as close as possible as he strokes your hair. He was smiling softly against your lips. Pulling back every so often to whisper something stupid, or something that made your chest clench.
-
Of course the love sick sweetness also held that part that was human. You bickered with him often, as you always have, it came natural.
He’d always teases you at any given moment he could. And it was only amplified in front of his friends.
It wasn't uncommon for the group you knew of as his club to join together in Eddie's living room. Even after graduation they needed him.
It would be heart melting to watch his excitement but that gooey feeling was shoved away with how hot he was when he was into a game.
You sat on the couch behind him, him and the others sat in a circle in the floor, a large board set in the middle. You snickered before about the figurines that lay there, earning sharp arguments from Eddie.
It was an hour or so into the campaign when you felt slugish, your eyed glossy with tiredness.
Eddie was deep in thought as he sat cross legged while the others talked among themselves about what to do next.
Your chest fluttered with the need to feel closer, to feel his hands and hear him in your ear.
You pulled yourself off the couch and slid to the spot where he sat, he perked up at your presence smiling softly as he brushed your hair out of your face.
“Hello angel.” He cooed, soft enough that the boys couldn’t hear but just loud enough to be heard over their rambunctious shouts.
“M’ sleepy” You sighed, nuzzling a little into the palms of his hands.
“Do you wanna stay over ?” He asked, you knew just to be polite, you always stayed over when they had late campaigns.
You nodded, leaning forward to take his hand into yours just to play with the thick calloused fingers.
He chuckled lightly, his hands pulling away to grip your wrist and tug you in.
“Cmon, put your head in my lap and rest sweet pea. We should be done soon.” He gently ushered you to lean in, your head rested against the denim and it wasnt the most comfortable feeling but his fingers found solace in your hair and you felt your eyes droop.
-
Waking up was like the storm following a day of overcast.
You blinked your eyes open to the dark of Eddie's bedroom. Not sure when it was you two had made your way in there, probably due to the exhaustion that still seeped into your heavy lids.
You’d probably have slept nonstop until 11 tomorrow but sometimes woke you with a hazy start.
Not something though, it was someone.
With a groggy mind you felt Eddie.
His breath was hot against your neck, panting fast and hard. It was then you realized he was shifting with vigor against your backside. Hips erratically thrusted against yours as his big palms groped at your exposed chest..
You whined a little when he squeezed, his thumb ghosting your pebbled nipple, exposed to the air due to your shirt being hiked up under your chin.
“E-Eddie?” You whispered out and he stilled. He was panting even in his stiffness, hot and desperate in the silence still of his room.
“Sorry…” He uttered, voice graveled with either sleep or desperation you weren't quite sure which.
“Don’t be.” You smiled softly at his coyness.
You took a moment to contemplate falling back asleep and letting him figure it out but there was excitement trilling up inside you.
So with a bite of your lower lip your hips rolled back into his. He stifled a deep throaty noise into your hair, a hand coming to grip at your waist.
He was hot against you, skin burning and slightly tacky with sweat.
“C’mon Eds, don’t stop because of me.” You chided making his chuckle a little breathless.
“You just look so pretty. Can’t control myself having you- fuck-“ He was cut off again as you slid against him, his hard cock running perfectly across the crease of your ass.
“You’re gonna be the death of me baby-“ He sighed, now unabashedly rolling into you. His breathe picked up again, his hands squeezed and flexed against any exposed skin he could grab.
He didn’t wear his rings to bed and you sort of missed how the metal felt against you. Having felt them so many times in a casual setting it was a gentle reminder that it was him who was able to touch you.
You gasped when he sped up slightly faster.
“Such a dirty boy Eds.” You said, leaning back into his lip’s that began to trail over your neck.
“Can’t believe you’d grind on me while i’m asleep because you’re so impatient.” You continued and he whimpered at your words making a swell if fulfillment wash over you.
“You know i can’t control myself around you bunny.” He defended, breathy and high in his throat.
You felt his hips begin to stutter slightly in his thrusts, growing sloppy as you hummed out pleased noises just to spur him on.
“C-close baby-“ He sputtered. You whined at the thought of him cumming in his boxers from just rubbing himself against your tired body. You wondered how long he had been going before you woke up.
“Cum for me. Want it Eddie. Want you to feel good.” You rambled, reaching back lazily to tug at his hair, just the way he liked. It always rewarded you with a sweet open mouthed noise and this time was no different.
“Fuck- fuck- thats it. You’re so pretty, god i’m- i’m cumming.”
You loved how he sounded when he released, how his body would shiver with the waves of pleasure and how his cock would pulse and throb as he pumped out his sticky release.
Once his breathing slowed and you felt tendrils of sleep creep in again he spoke softly.
“Was that okay?” He asked, a mouse quiet whisper into your ear.
“Of course.” You replied, slurred against the pillow now.
“It wasn't- you dont feel weird about me- ya know- while you’re uh, asleep?” He continued.
You laughed lightly through your nose before making a ‘nuh uh’
“Was it hot at least?” He was more teasing now, doing that classic Eddie thing where he hid an embarrassing question behind a veil if humor.
“Well, yeah, obviously.”
“Obviously.” He seemed a little more shocked than you'd expected. You only assumed he knew about the mess he was creating between your thighs.
“Obviously?” He repeated.
“Yeah, obviously. I’m like, fuck eddie, just-“ You groaned as you wanted to sleep but his persistence in holding pillow talk was nothing if not convincing.
You grabbed at his hand that was wrapped around you, guiding it under the thin fabric of your sleep shorts where you were bare.
If not for your drowsiness you’d grind against the fingers as they explored your slit.
“Oh- You got all hot and bothered from being used?”
It shook you to your core slightly.
Being used.
You trusted Eddie more than anyone. You trusted that he’d always do right by you but the concept of him giving into instincts. Taking what he wanted from your body was thrilling.
���You like that bunny?” He lowered his voice.
You were too embarrassed to reply, his fingers still lazily collected your arousal and there was no shot he didn't feel you twitch at the prospect.
“You want me to use you? Do what i want when i please?“
You nodded and he smiled against your skin.
“How about waking you up with my cock huh? You seemed to like me grinding on you.”
You whimpered softly, the only noise your tired body could produce at the gruff sound of his voice whispering his fantasies.
-
It was weeks before you were reminded of this conversation. The two of you had been quite busy, leaving little time for fooling around and you were a liar if you said it wasn't taking a toll on you.
But Eddie became a bit unhinged.
He was more clingy than ever, on the days you would come in at night, shoulders slouched with exhaustion, trying not to startle him. He’d smile so wide and tired as he tugged you into him, letting the heat of your skin melt into his.
He let his hands wonder your body as you dressed again the next morning, running late already from the impromptu make out session he had started.
Then a friday rolled around and it was perfect. You were working a short shift, and Eddie had the day off. You’d rented a movie from the Family Video for the two of you.
“Date night?” Steve asked while you shoved the vhs across the counter.
“Something like that.” You huffed.
“Whoah, what's got you huffy princess?” He chided, a smug look leaking onto his face.
You narrowed your eyes in annoyance before scanning the store of any customers before leaning in.
“Steve, i haven’t been properly fucked in like two weeks man. If i don’t get absolutely destroyed by my disgustingly skilled boyfriend tonight im coming to your house and smothering you.”
His eyes widened it fear, the bite of your voice was genuine, a sort of tone you rarely took.
“Geez, didn’t know Munson had it in him to hold out that long.” He muttered by in slight bemusement at your struggles.
“Oh he doesn’t. I’ve been late to work like 5 times in the past two weeks because he can’t keep his hands to himself .”
Steve laughed and slid you your change for the rental before you turned to leave.
“Wait!” He called and you wiped around to face him.
He dug in his pockets for a moment before pulling out a crumpled 20$ bill handing it towards you.
You furrowed your brow, slowly accepting his offer.
“Buy some nice dinner for you both. You’re looking anemic.”
You scoffed but his gesture was well appreciated. Knowing Steve came from money it wasnt rare for him to slide you some cash for no reason. A simple show of friendship and appreciation.
“Thanks, i’ll uh, let you know how it goes.” You said as you turned once again to push through the heavy doors of the store hearing him shout behind you.
“Please don’t actually!”
-
You did end up buying food as you made your way to the familiar trailer. Three styrofoam containers of chinese food from the place Eddie loved but rarely got due to the pricey cost.
When you arrived the sky was filling out with yellows and oranges as the sun sank bellow the horizon.
He greeted you with droopy eyes and a small smile. Pressing a kiss to your lips fleeting and fast before letting you in.
The place was actually cleaner than normal, the couch smelled of a fabric cleaner now rather than weed and spilled beer.
“You cleaned up.” You said appreciatively.
He looked bashful at the appraisal of his preparations.
“Yeah, been real anxious i guess and it helped me get my mind clear.” He said as he scratched at the back of his neck.
You raised a hand to pet his cheek.
“You look tired sweetheart.” You muttered and he slumped a little.
“Yeah, the uh, the van gave out this morning and i spent hours trying to fix it.”
You wished you were there to see it. His hands muddled in grease and grime, sweat dripping off him as his curls fell in his face.
You set your overnight bag in his room, quick to rid yourself of your work clothes in favor of a t-shirt that laud half folded in his dresser.
The trailer was cooler than it’s been for weeks in your experience. A autumn chill finally sweeping up the blaring endless indiana summer.
But as you thought on it the jeans you were weren’t comfortable, and you were so tired from work. You opted with hesitation to strip your jeans for a pair of Eddie's boxers.
They were pretty weird fitting, as he was a very different size from you, but the knowledge of staying the night dressed in his clothes made fondness swell.
“I have the movie ready my sweetness.” He said as he strolled into the room, smelling of his shower gel.
You pulled him in, kissing him softly again just to have a moment. Dressed in his clothes, in his bedroom, an air of ease lacquered thick.
“How was work?” He muttered and you let out a soft groan in response earning a sweet kiss to the bow of your lip.
“That bad?” He asked, rubbing over right where your back always aches after shifts.
“It was fine. Long. Just wanted to see you.” It was muffled towards the end as you buried your face in his shoulder, letting your burning tired eyes fall shut in a moment of relief.
“Lets get some food for you and we can nap?”
You nodded against him before pulling away. Following as you always did to where the open play screen of a movie played on the television.
-
You ate and talked and laughed. Even with the tired eyes the both of you had there was no such joy as these moments together.
He had hiked your shirt up a little while after you finished eating and with a full belly you laid your head on his lap.
Your muscles jellied as his fingers brushed featherlight over the sensitive skin of your stomach.
Around your belly button, tracing the curves of your hips that disappeared below the waistband.
“You fallin asleep on me?” He spoke, startling you.
“oh, yeah sorry.” You muttered trying to shake the exhaustion that seeped in your very bones.
“It’s okay baby, you can sleep. I can carry you to bed if it gets too late.” He carded a hand through your hair, you muttered a pained noise as his rings caught.
He chuckled a little. Soft as a morning dew muttering “Sorry sweet thing.” as he took them off his hand returning. Before you knew it his hands were magic and you drifted off.
-
Waking up was very different from falling asleep.
It wasn't the soft, gentle words and light touches anymore.
Eddie was grinding against your throbbing heat, drops of precum making the fabric sticky with his arousal.
You gasped, whimpering loud as the tip made itself a home pressed hot against your clit.
“Good morning bunny.” He said lowly behind you, voice wavering through pants and groans.
“Fuck- please-“ You whined trying to gather your thoughts.
His hands were gripping rough at your hips, lightly running blunt nails against your sensitive skin just to see you shudder.
“Mmm, you’re such a pretty baby.” He groaned, kissing at your shoulder.
“mm, Eddie- whats- oh fuck-“ He ground harder as you desperately tried to ask a question.
“What bunny? Can’t speak?”
You groaned in reply, still fuzzy minded from sleep and disoriented from the sudden waves of pleasure.
“nuh uh-“ You choked over the response, realizing there's no chance you could speak.
“You wanna know what got me all worked up?”
-
A short while after you had fallen asleep Eddie found himself tired. His back ached from sitting upright for so long.
The sky was now a pitch black outside and the room was lit by the TV and an amber light dangling from over the kitchen sink.
He moved carefully, not wanting to disturb your well deserved slumber.
He took a moment then to appreciate how beautiful you looked so at ease. Face smoothed out rather than the tired scrunch of stress he’d seen earlier.
He wished you’d marry him. So that you could both get a place of your own, he could sleep next to you every night and wake up to you cooking breakfast. He wanted to let you live a cushy life at home with your books and your movies while he made all the money from gigs with the band.
He wanted to come home from a show and have you on your knees by the front door, wide eyes desperate for him.
Let him take you over the countertops, bend you over the arm of some decorative armchair.
To make matters worse as he lifted you to the bedroom and eased you to the mattress your shirt was now up to the bottoms of your chest from the movement.
Eddie gulped slightly as he felt a familiar boiling between his thighs.
He admired how smooth your skin was, normally covered, now free to his gaze. He felt appreciative that you were comfortable enough to be so carefree of modesty.
He glanced nervously as he reached out running a hand over the expanse of your tummy. He was pleasantly surprised the touch barely made you stir.
He went with gentleness, eyes fluttered between where his hands mapped you, or where your eyes lay shut, lashes beautifully soft against cheeks.
It was moments that he was sure would be seared into his mind forever.
His cock stood hard between his legs now, throbbing to feel you around him.
He remembered the conversation you’d had before. The explicit desire in your eyes and your murmurs of consent that your body was his when he wanted. Tendrils of excitement wrapped around him.
He was startled slightly when you hummed lightly in your sleep and turned on your side, hiking up the leg on top as you snuggled further into his sheets.
He could see you far better now, everything, seductive in their placements. He thought about rubbing between your chest, wetting your skin with his precum as your sweet tongue stuck out to catch his tip with each thrust, pushing them further in attempts to make it feel better.
He let out a frustrated sigh before falling to the empty space behind you.
There were many moments of hesitation between him laying there gazing at you before wrapping his arm around you and tugging you back into him.
He whimpered when he felt your ass against his erection. Warm and inviting. He loved everything about you but it was anything but a secret his adoration for your ass.
In a fit of need he slipped his weeping cock from his boxers, slowly tracing it between your cheeks.
It wasn’t much, not nearly enough, but goosebumps lit up his skin with ferocity. He spread a bead of precum over the tip, letting it make contact with the fabric covering you and watching as a trail of the sticky fluid hung between his reddened tip and the boxers you wore.
“Oh fuck,” He choked out as quiet as he could muster as he carefully let his cock slide over your clothes pussy. He could feel the curves of your lips, the heat that radiated off your core.
It was dizzying as he turned to slow thrusts against you. He could feel himself catch on the button laying directly bellow your mons. Daringly grinding against it with a little more pressure than before.
He was rewarded with a whimper, his body stilling for a moment but your breathing only hitched as you continued your slumber.
He wanted to laugh at the disgusting implications of it all. You, unaware of him. Him, taking whatever he pleased from you with a gentless not to spoil his fun too soon.
There was that looming guilt that he should have asked before you fell asleep if this was still an option. He couldn’t deny that it hung heavy on his mind from the second you laid to rest in his lap.
But he couldn’t linger because he felt a dampness of your arousal begin to seep through the boxers.
He bit his lip at a smile threatening his face. His shallow thrusts continued as he moved even closer, letting his hands brush in a soft circle over your clothes clit.
The reaction was instant. You shifted lightly, mouth falling open in a pleasured sigh. He took this as a sign to persist.
He imagined what you’d look like cumming in your sleep. Waking up to hot waves rolling over you.
He continued his movements with little hesitancy now, gripping at your skin as your wetness caused the boxer shorts to cling to you.
He wondered how long before you woke up. Caught him, could he last long enough to wake you, take you while your mind was still fizzy with sleep.
The answer came soon enough as a whimper rose from you and your pretty eyes fluttered open. He grinned against your skin.
-
“You’re a tease even in your sleep.” He said as he finished recounting how you got him throbbing, how he felt high on his own supply by grinding against you.
“M’sorry-“ You slurred and he chuckled.
“It’s okay my little whore. You can’t help it can you? Can’t help what you do to Daddy huh sweetness?”
You whined for the upteenth time as the name fell in sultry waves from his lips.
It was a rare name for him to use. He prefered sir or master most of the time. But it was times like this where the title fit like a glove, he was going to be sweet and coddle you through this one. It sparked excitement the same way that it did when you would see his eyes flare with anger before he would take you roughly, spit into your open mouth, slap your skin until it turned a ruby red and then kiss it better.
He was perfect at both and you couldn’t dare change him.
“Your pussy is leaking all over me through my shorts darling.” He whispered, slowing his grinds to trace the wet fabric, rubbing slowly against your slit again.
“Mmm, all for you.” You replied, holding the urge to grind into him. His fingers trailed down the hem of the boxers running over your smooth inner thighs before letting his fingers trail up the leg and slip deliciously under it. He could feel the scorching heat of your arousal better as his fingers hovered over your cunt.
He wasted little time sinking two fingers into your tripping hole.
You squealed at the intrusion of his thick fingers after weeks of getting yourself off on the occasion you weren’t completely exhausted.
“Can’t believe you get this wet from me using you.” He chided, thrusting his fingers shallowly making your breath stutter as he purposely missed the spongy spot he knew just how to locate.
“N-need more.” You pleaded, his fingers began squelching in a crass way as he sped them up.
“Ya know, you’re really not in a place for demanding baby. But i need your little cunt as loose as possible before i fuck you.”
He always made you cum at least once before he would dare put his thick cock in you.
He was big, that wasn’t debatable. What was debatable was how much you wanted it to burn, wanted to feel the stretch of him after not having him for so long.
“Mm, no, I want your cock now!” You pleaded and he shushed you. You fully expected a scalding but maybe it was the looming tired feeling that clung to you both.
“Please daddy? Stretch me on it?”
He groaned before pulling his fingers out swiftly. You made noises of protest, hips seeking him again before they came in contact with your swollen clit.
“Fuck! Ah-“ You screamed as his speed was quick, the lubrication of your own slick making him move at a dizzying speed.
Your orgasm was approaching with an alarming speed, burning and hot as you felt your legs begin to tremble.
“Are you close bunny?” Eddie asked, he slowed a bit, focusing on speaking lowly in your ear, drawing out the teetering feeling.
“uh, yes, fuck, i’m so close for you.” You whined slurred and desperate.
“I’m the only one whos gotten you. to come this fast arent i? Nobody has ever made my pretty bunny feel this good before huh?”
It was a ploy, but with the static in your head you were eager to give him the satisfaction of hearing you praise his skillz
“No! No one Daddy! Just you. Only you make me feel so good.” Your arm curled back to grip at his thick tattooed bicep. Nails digging crescent shapes as you got closer and closer with each rough circle he drew into your clit.
“That’s it, come on bunny. Come for daddy. Gonna be so wet for my cock.”
A strangled whine ripped from your throat as you reached your peak. Legs trembled against the sheets as you were edging into overstimulation as his fingers worked you diligently through it.
“You okay?” He murmured, peppering kisses along your shoulders.
“Mm, yeah- sleepy daddy,” You yawned, body now lax from the force of an orgasm so soon after waking up.
“The faster i cum the quicker you can go to sleep baby.” He said lowly.
His cock was dripping, a mix of his precum and the slick that coated you.
“You can, fuck, you can fuck me now.” You muttered feeling him smile against you before taking nibbling bites at the tacky skin on your back. He played with you for a moment,just to watch you squirm, see your eye brows knit together as his cock brushed your swollen clit.
He slid in with no hesitation taking you by surprise.
You only let out high whines, knowing he loved hearing your noises.
“Fuck baby, you always sound so pretty when i slide in. So wet for me”
“For you, always for you. You make me so wet daddy-“ You muttered as you ground your hips back into him.
He growled at your moment of control, quick to stop your movements by flipping you to your stomach.
Your face buried into the pillow with a scream as he slid back in easily.
His pace was always brutal from this angle. Reaching deep and harsh as he hit from behind. His hands clutching the fat swells of your ass as his heavy balls slapped rhythmically against your thighs.
You felt him in your throat at this angle.
“Am i all in your guts baby? Do you feel how deep i am?” He grunted
You whimpered nodding harshly from where you muffled your cries.
“Mm, want you to come in me! Wanna feel you come against your womb! knock me up!”
You felt him throb inside of you as his pace quickened.
“Such a dirty bitch baby.” He hissed as he gripped your hair, shoving you further into the downy. The bed squealed as he slammed into you.
“Letting me fuck you before you even wake up baby. Wanna please me so bad. So desperate all the time that you’ll let me do whatever i want huh beautiful?”
You wanted to nod, but the grip on your hair had your scalp tingling with sharp pain.
He was burning hot inside you, even his hands felt like he was coated in flames. You felt the familiar tightenin in your gut.
“Are you getting close bunny?” He asked just as the feeling grew with a rapid pace.
“I can feel you clenching baby, i know your close.” He said leaning further into your ear, making easy work to shift to where each thrust slammed his head into that spot that made your body shake.
“Yeah! Oh im close daddy! Your cocks so good please!”
“Please? What are you begging for?”
He tugged on your hair making your neck arch. Just so he could hear your pleas more clearly.
“Please- Please can i come on your cock daddy!” You whined, the knots in your stomach were untethering in an uncontrollable speed.
“I’ll give you anything you want when you ask so pretty.” He replied, his hand snaking to come into contact with your clit again.
You could tell he was close too, his thrusts were sloppy, his grunts with less time in between. You clenched your hole in hopes to pull him along further so that you could both come at the same time.
“Fuck- Wanna come with me whore?”
You whined in confirmation further tightening yourself as you staved off the waves of an orgasm that crested your shores.
“Come on baby! Oh fuck im so close honey, you feel so tight. Sucking me in.” He rambled.
“Oh, fuck, cum baby, cum now, come on.” He urged, thrusting harder with the last bite of energy he had.
“OH FUCK DADDY! Fuck fuck fuck-“ You wailed as you felt all the tension snap, it was more intense than just his fingers.
“That’s it, thats my baby, good fucking baby-“ He praised as he grit his teeth.
His orgasm was intense, he pumped it all into you, deep and heavy and hot into your cunt. You siezed around him, the tell tale signs of you squirting around him were obvious.
“Oh fuck! Oh shit baby! So fucking good! Squirting for me, making a mess while i knock you up.”
Slowly both your bodies relaxed, he slipped out with a trail of cum leaking from your swollen hole.
“mm, gonna have to get a little plug for this pussy. Keep you plugged with my cum.” He cooed, running a finger to collect the slick liquid that oozed out of you.
“Mm, want you to pump me full and feel swollen up with it.” You hummed dazed and fucked out.
“We’ll see my love.” His hands retreated from your sensitive heat now glistening with the mix of both of your releases. You eyes had fluttered shut and you found shock in his wet fingers pressing at the seal of your lips.
“Clean my fingers off baby. Taste.” He whispered, pressing them past your lips. You whimpered around the intrusions before your eyes drooped and you felt yourself slipping to sleep, his fingers a comforting weight on your tongue. The remaining salty taste of both of you was like a gentle reminder of how much he loved you.
You fell asleep quickly, fucked to exhaustion after waking up to him. But you’d never been more content than wrapped in him and oozing his show of pleasure.
“Love you.” He’d slurred a little before you were dead to the world. Hot thralls of love seeped into you.
a/n: Helloooo! Ive been incredibly busy! This took a week longer than planned but shoutout my twitter loves for motivation. Pls do feel free to send reqs in my ask box!

Healing Melodies - Part 2
Eddie Munson x reader
part 1 | part 2
Tumblr media
****
Dustin had always been known for his larger-than-life reactions to, well, pretty much everything. So, when he stumbled upon the truth about you and Eddie, his response was nothing short of a spectacle.
It happened on a lazy Saturday afternoon. The sun was high, casting a warm glow over Hawkins, and the air was filled with the distant sound of lawnmowers and children's laughter. You and Eddie were in his trailer, a record spinning softly in the background as you both poured over an intricate map for your next D&D campaign.
The door burst open, and in charged Dustin, wielding a walkie-talkie like a sword and a look of determination plastered across his face. He stopped short, the words dying on his lips as he took in the scene before him—Eddie's arm casually draped over your shoulder, both of you so engrossed in your shared world that you hadn't heard him enter.
"Dude! What the—?" Dustin's eyes widened, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. "Is this a new campaign strategy session, or am I interrupting the 'All My Children' hour?"
Eddie chuckled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Calm down, Dusty. We were just—"
"Just what? Planning the ultimate betrayal of dungeon master trust?" Dustin interrupted, faux outrage coloring his tone. But the sparkle in his eyes betrayed his enjoyment of the melodrama.
You laughed, shaking your head at Dustin's antics. "We're not betraying anyone, Dustin. Eddie's just been helping me understand the finer points of necromancy. Right, Eddie?"
Eddie nodded, playing along. "Yeah, just some good old necromancy. Nothing to see here."
Dustin squinted suspiciously, taking a step forward. "Necromancy, huh? That's what we're calling it these days?" His gaze flicked between the two of you, a smirk beginning to form. "Wait a second... Are you guys... Are you guys a thing now?"
The air was suddenly thick with anticipation, the question hanging between you all. Eddie's hand squeezed your shoulder, a silent signal of unity.
"Come on, spill it!" Dustin urged, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
Eddie sighed dramatically, feigning resignation. "Alright, alright. Yes, Dustin. We're a thing."
Dustin's reaction was instant and explosive—a mix of shock, joy, and the kind of theatrical disbelief that only he could muster. "I knew it! I mean, I didn't know-know it, but I knew something was up!" He threw his hands in the air, circling the room. "This is huge! This is like, Return of the Jedi epic! My cousin and Eddie Munson? This is going to change the party dynamics forever!"
As Dustin continued to pace around the room, his initial shock transforming into an almost comical level of excitement, you and Eddie exchanged amused glances. Dustin, true to form, was already spinning scenarios in his head, his imagination running wild.
"This is like, the best character development ever!" Dustin exclaimed, his hands animatedly sketching out scenes in the air. "You guys are like, the unexpected alliance in a fantasy novel. The bard and the warrior princess, joining forces against the darkness!"
Eddie raised an eyebrow, a playful grin on his face. "Warrior princess, huh? I like the sound of that for [Your Name]. Fits perfectly."
You rolled your eyes but couldn't hide your smile. "Only if you're the bard who serenades me with metal ballads and slays monsters with his guitar axe."
Dustin clapped his hands together, his excitement reaching new heights. "Yes! That's exactly it! We'll have to update the Hellfire Club's campaign. This is going to be legendary!"
He began to pace again, his mind clearly racing with ideas. "Imagine the quests! The battles! The drama! This will be the best campaign ever. We’ll need a new storyline, new villains, maybe even a love triangle to spice things up."
Eddie laughed, shaking his head. "Easy there, Spielberg. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We're just figuring this out as we go."
But Dustin was undeterred, his enthusiasm undimmed. "You guys have no idea how epic this is going to be. I'm going to need to brainstorm some ideas, maybe get some input from the others. This is going to be a total game-changer for the Hellfire Club!"
As Dustin continued to chatter excitedly, outlining elaborate plot twists and character arcs, you leaned against Eddie, feeling his arm wrap around you. There was a comfort in this moment—the joy of a new relationship, the amusement of Dustin's over-the-top reaction, and the sense of belonging in this strange, wonderful world of Hawkins.
Eddie leaned down, whispering in your ear, "You ready for all this?"
You looked up at him, your eyes meeting his, and nodded. "As long as it's with you, I'm ready for anything."
And in that small trailer, filled with the laughter of friends and the dreams of adventures yet to come, you knew that no matter what the future held, you and Eddie, together, could face it all.

Eternally Damned (Vampire! John Price x Fem! Reader)
02. Life for a Life
Eternally Damned Masterlist and Summary
Part One
Tumblr media
You awoke with a throaty gasp. Panic shook down your spine as your eyes frantically searched for a familiarity.
Nothing.
You brought your hand up to your neck, you remember the bitter sting of teeth ripping through the flesh, but as your fingertips brushed the surface of the skin it was smooth, completely healed.
That’s when you fully began to grasp where you were. Your back was resting against the flush material of soft silk. Your eyes trailed around the unfamiliar room. Countless bookshelves lay tall among the walls, whimsical trinkets placed in the spots where novels didn’t dwell.
The curtains fluttered against the rainy weather, and as you began to panic more, you realized it was still pitch black outdoors. You hadn’t been unconscious long.
Your hands dropped to your jacket, only to find that the article of clothing was no longer wrapped around your shoulders. Instead you were only in your plain black t-shirt. You patted your jeans pockets realizing your dagger and stakes weren’t there either.
“You’re awake.” A chillingly low voice spoke from the doorway, causing you to flinch. You felt your heart stop at the dull crimson color of his eyes, vampire.
You rushed to get up, but the vampire made no move to advance. Instead he watched almost in amusement as you scrambled to the corner of the room. Your eyes darted, attempting to look for some type of weapon.
“You won’t find your weapons here.” His accent was strange, the twang was obviously scouser, but it was rough around the edges, not typically like the century old vampires you hunted. That means he was newer to the turn, meaning he was likely thirstier.
And it seemed he was playing with his food.
You insisted on not talking, instead your eyes flickered to the wooden headboard of the bed. If you kicked it hard enough it may splinter off into a stake. If you didn’t take that chance, you’d end up dead either way.
You lunged for the wood, but it seemed the vampire knew what you were already doing.
In a quick flash, he blocked your path to the wood, and as you made a cheap move of trying to punch him, he caught your wrist in a steel grip.
“Just kill me while I have some dignity left.” You gritted out as you fought against his impossible hold. 
Your father was dead. So was your mother. All due to these undead motherfuckers. At least it wouldn’t be your burden to bear anymore. Yet your heart fought against you, if anything in this life killed you, it wouldn’t be a damn vampire.
With your free hand, you reached for your neck, pulling your silver crucifix from your throat, before plunging it deep inside the vampire’s neck. The creature grunted, releasing you as his skin burned black for a moment at the silver touch.
The material never killed them, but it was enough to hurt like a bitch. You had clearance to kick at the headboard, watching it splinter before you ripped off the wood, satisfied with the sharp point.
“You going to kill me, love?” He taunted as he pulled the pointed necklace from his neck with a sharp tug, he threw the silver across the floor, it sliding a few meters away. 
“Torture you first, for killing my father. Then I’ll kill you.” You threatened, holding onto the stake, ready for him to make any movement.
His eyes seemed to glow brighter for a moment, before he let out a mocking chuckle. “I didn’t kill your father.”
This through you for a loop. Sure, vampires lied all the time, but the intensity of his voice had you second guessing. Your grip loosened on the stake, not enough to not be able to use it, but enough to listen first.
You decided to hear him out, then you’d kill him.
“I saw you, hold up his necklace. You dropped me out of a tree.” You retaliated, your nose scrunching up in disgust.
“Different bloodsucker, love. That one was an old enemy of mine. He’s been drawing in hunters for the last month, ate every one of them. Except you.”
“Why not me?” You asked, watching the vampire roll his eyes as if it was obvious.
“I got to you first. I will admit it took quite a bit of strength not to kill you, your blood was everywhere. I’m sure by now Makarov won’t stop until he finds you.”
“Makarov?” You question, your eyebrows raising slightly in the whole situation. A vampire just saved your life, while another was trying to kill you?
“Yes, I’m afraid since I stepped in you’ve become his most important target.” Great.
“I didn’t ask for help.” You grit out. Now you had to watch your back. If this vampire was speaking the truth, you’d be screwed. Forced to constantly watch over your shoulder and being confined while hunted.
“No. But you need it. Now more than ever.”
“I don’t need you.” You shivered, the simple suggestion that you needed a vampire’s help made you feel dirty. Like a grime that could not escape you.
He flashed in front of you again, his canines almost poking out of his mouth as he towered in front of you. Quickly, you placed the stake against his ribs, right where the cold, dead heart would be.
But he leant in against the stake.
“I can smell you from a mile away, pet.” He inhaled, as his eyes fluttered shut in a sickening pleasure. “If it wasn’t for my scent masking you, he would have ripped out your pretty throat by now.”
Your eyebrows rose for a split second. You knew that vampires could smell humans, but for them to mask scents from other vamps? This was completely new territory.
“What is it that you want then? Why save me?” You asked, your teeth clenched at how wrong this seemed. You were a hunter, he was your prey. Your father had died for the cause, now you were saved by one.
“Simple. I want Makarov dead, so do you. You’re the queen on the chess board, pet. That means you hold the cards. After Makarov’s dead I can finally stop my eternal suffering and bite the dust. I’ll even let you drive the stake.”
Now this seemed to sweeten the pot. With a satisfied huff, you lowered the stake, throwing it across the room with a loud thud.
“Fine. Life for a life, my debt is paid.”
A slim smirk wove across the vampire’s face, as he dipped his head in some type of greeting.
“Captain John Price.” He greeted, not bothering to touch you.

A Study in Scarlet.
// An hour's warmup, with @wpk12art's Halina and Mordecai interaction.
He found himself reading a book again. This time it was only for entertainment, most of his daywork had been catered for thanks to the Savoys taking over operations and his role as a triggerman mostly dedicated to bigger ‘favors’ from Asa himself. As of now he doesn’t need to do anything, and rather than walking around aimlessly under the rainy St Louis weather, he opted to be at home instead.
He felt as if detective novels have taken on a whole new meaning - especially after most of the law enforcements are too focused on the smuggling alcohol aspect of criminology - and if anything, understanding how an otherwise fictional detective operates will help him avoid certain phrases or actions. So far, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet” held his interest, the chapter itself also had him fixated on such works for the first time. 
However, as he sat in suspenders and a white collared coat with his back against the sunny rain, he felt almost uncomfortable. Despite the book in his hand, and his careful consideration for his own symmetry with the way he sat, there was a slight feeling that he was being watched. Whether it's the chair he’s sitting on that didn’t exactly sit right with him, the rather unusual temperature of the living room itself, or it was the fact that Halina stood directly beside him, and read aloud every word from the chapter.
“He threw the paper across to me and I glanced at the place indicated. It was the first announcement in the “Found” column.” She softly spoke up, supporting herself slightly on the coffee table next to him.
Her words rang across Mordecai’s complex complexion, as he kept reading despite how far back she was reading. Halina didn’t mind either way, she was an avid book reader as he was as well, and rather than to boast about it she wanted it discreet. Almost like everything she did for Marigold. Halina stood up properly again, having come out of the kitchen to just check on Mordecai just in case he went off on his own accord. She only put down a cup of coffee prior to the one-sided conversation she engaged in, and saw the book’s illustrious author. As she slightly toyed with her hair, she continued with this conversation in hopes of getting any response.
“You never told me you liked Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.” She remarked, having seen what he would read every other day was newspaper articles. “Why the sudden interest?”
“Because it’s rather sophisticated, his way of storytelling is compelling.” He marked his page with a simple corner fold, and put it down to the side as he replied to Halina. “Besides, the vocabulary of such authors always fascinated me.”
She let a soft chuckle out, as she sat on the sofa that faced the fireplace. Of course, for a person like Mordecai, he’d be interested in works from such authors. His way of speaking almost becomes reminiscent of a work from fiction novels. 
“A Study in Scarlet is not one of his best works.” She brushed her hair, her words co-mingles itself with the fire crackle and the obstruction from her arms. “The Valley of Fear is a personal favorite of mine, have you read it before?” 
“I have not.” He brought up the cup of coffee that Halina put down earlier: A shot of espresso, nothing too special. “Rather, I’ve not had the time to read it.”
“If I had known, I would have given you that first. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson’s legacy throughout his works leaves me interested, and inherently did to you as well.”
“Interest took hold of me as well. During this rather tragic weather, there was nothing else to do after all. Wes and Fish were called instead, and I was told to stay home with you.” He took a sip of his espresso, and the flavors muddled with the morning taste rather nicely. A good cup of coffee, he would deem it. Halina noticed his equally monotone expression subtly became relaxed, it’s a habit she picked up when she spent time with him for extended occasions. 
“You are still investigating that case with Atlas, aren’t you? Have you found any sort of leads?” She asked, curious as to why he’d spend time reading this book instead of back in his study.
“I have reasons to believe that there were aspects amongst the Atlas investigation that were left ambiguous.” He said with a disdain, as he had spent most of his down time shifting through the murder case of Atlas, his former boss. “The private investigators that I hired are brilliant yet they don’t seem to paint the whole picture. In turn I’ve resorted to-”
“Uncovering the scarlet thread that surrounded his murder, exposing it. Poetic, don’t you think?” She interrupted him, completing his sentence with a subtle nod to the book he had put down earlier. “A scarlet truth in this colorless world, don’t you think?”

I was thinking about how after Casita fell, we got to see Julieta's fear when Mirabel disappeared, and her relief when she comes back, including their sweet hug... That being said, she's Agustín's kid too, and I wanted to see his reaction to his baby's reappearance. This is that scene.
Dedicated to @magicalmadrigals who keeps us so well fed with fluff, and I thought deserved some in return.
Word Count: 1400 and some change.
*****
Agustín couldn't remember the last time he had one of his daughters in his bed.  The older they became, the less they sought the comfort of their parents' room.
Isabela was always too fussy about her pillows, and Luisa needed her special double-length bed to even begin to be comfortable, so he supposed it was just a matter of growing up.
But now that the family was crammed into his small family home, Mirabel being in bed beside him was less about a little kid wanting their parents, and more out of necessity, since there wasn't another room.
Still… after the day they'd had, Agustín was more than thrilled to have her close by and in sight.
He glanced to his right, peering over the rims of his glasses to see Mirabel snuggled into the pillows, nose buried deeply in a book she'd found on his old shelf.
It was surreal, being in his childhood bedroom again.  It had been nearly twenty five years since he'd left it, and he never thought he'd return - much less with his entire family in tow.
Unfortunately, now that Casita was more a pile of rubble, rather than a house, they would have to make do.  For awhile, at least.
"I read that book a lot when I was your age,"  Agustín said offhandedly, picking at a small hole in the quilt.
"Yeah?"  Mirabel licked her finger and turned the page, clearly more interested in the words in front of her than holding a conversation.
Still, Agustín wanted to hear her voice.
"Mhm.  I'm almost surprised it's still in one piece, I read it so many times."
Mirabel didn't respond, her eyes flitting across the page in rapid fashion, she was devouring the novel in record time.
Agustín stared ahead, looking around the room.  Not much had changed since he was her age… the same books on the shelves, the same drawings tacked to the walls.  Had the wallpaper always been that ugly?
He didn't know where Julieta had wandered off to, but he was getting tired and hoped she'd be back soon so they could blow the candles out and go to sleep.
The day had been unbelievably long, spending every waking moment (and there were many of them - they'd barely slept a wink the night before) hunting high and low for Mirabel.
Now that she was found, safe and sound beside him, he knew he'd sleep like the dead and wouldn't wake even if a train crashed through the window.
He twiddled his thumbs, trying to find something to keep his mind occupied until his wife returned, and Mirabel finally tore her eyes away from the novel, lowering it into her lap.
"Are you alright, Papi?"
"Wonderful,"  he said.  "Why do you ask?"
"You're acting funny,"  Mirabel said.  "Very… fidgety."
"I'm always acting funny,"  he said, with a wink.  "Just ask your mother."
Mirabel chewed on the inside of her cheek, a horrible habit she'd had since she was a toddler.  She didn't look convinced.
"Why, are you okay?"
Mirabel closed the book and laid it on the nightstand opposite of where he sat.  "I'm sorry, Pa."
Well that wasn't what he'd expected to hear.
"Sorry?"
Before he knew what was happening, Mirabel threw herself into his arms, wrapping her own tightly around his neck.  "I'm so, so sorry."
"Mirabel, you didn't do anything wrong.  Nothing that happened was your fau-"
"I'm sorry for scaring you."
Agustín let out a breathy laugh. "Well, that you did do."  He squeezed her, while she clamored into his lap.  "Scared me a lot, actually."
"I know,"  Mirabel nuzzled her face further into his shoulder.  "I didn't mean to, I promise… I was just so upset."
"Shh, I know,"  Agustín ran a gentle hand up and down her back.  He could hear a tightness in her voice, and he hated when his children cried.  There had been far too many tears shed in the last few days.
The last few weeks, really.  Even before Antonio's birthday, tensions had been high.
"It's alright, amor.  Everything is okay now."
Mirabel moved her head, although he wasn't sure if she was nodding, or using his shirt as a tissue.  He supposed it didn't matter.
They sat there for awhile, just clinging to each other, processing the emotions the last couple of days had brought forward.
He hadn't mentioned it to anyone - not even Julieta - but for a brief time, when they couldn't find Mirabel, he wondered if he'd ever get to hug her like this again.
It was a horrible thought, but one that made him press a hand to the back of her head as he snuggled her closer against his chest.
"You know,"  Agustín began slowly, continuing to rub her back as he spoke.  "Even though you scared the absolute hell out of me-"
He smiled when he heard Mirabel giggle at that.  He didn't curse often in front of the kids, but he knew it always amused them when he did.  "Even though you scared me, I'm still very, very proud of you."
Mirabel pulled back and looked at him through watery eyes, her glasses slightly foggy.  "Really?"
"Extremely."  He removed the glasses from her face and wiped them with his shirt, before placing them gently back on her nose.  "You stood up for yourself.  It was overdue, honestly."
Mirabel wiped her eye with a knuckle, leaning back on her knees.  "I don't like fighting with Abuela but…"
Agustín sighed.  "It was a long time coming.  I lost my temper with her too."
Mirabel stared at him.  "You're the most patient person I know!"
"Even the most patient people have their limits,"  Agustín pressed a kiss to her forehead, a sad smile on his face.  "I think we've all reached our limits this week."
Mirabel nodded.
"That being said, while I am extremely, extremely proud of you,"  Agustín leaned back against the pillows, Mirabel curling into his side like she had when she was much smaller.  "Please never scare me like that again.  My hair is gray enough, thank you very much."  He accentuated his point by running a hand through it, making it stick out on one side.
Mirabel snorted.  "Got it."
They quieted again, and for a time all that was heard was the sound of Mirabel's sisters snoring through the wall.
"It will all work out, I promise,"  Agustín said, a firm hand on her shoulder.  "It'll take time, but everything will settle down eventually.  We'll rebuild the house, finally get you your own room-"
"Ooh, can I pick the color?"  Mirabel perked up at the thought, a brightness to her eyes that had been lacking lately.
Agustín chuckled.  "Any color of the rainbow, amor."  He placed a kiss on the top of her head.  "But I'm serious.  Soon enough, no one will even remember any of this."
Mirabel laughed.  "I have a hard time believing that… but I will say, it'll be nice not to have to listen to Isa and Lu snore all night."
"I'll have you know, you snore too."  Agustín brushed his nose against his daughter's, eliciting a small giggle.
Just then, the door pushed open to reveal Julieta, with a tray and three steaming mugs on it.
"What's so funny?"  She asked, sidling up to the bed and sitting on the edge.
"Papi says I snore,"  Mirabel said.
"He's right,"  Julieta agreed.  "But you get it from him."
Agustín threw his hand over his heart, aghast.  "I would never."
"Why do you think I drink so much coffee in the morning?"  Julieta teased, handing each of them a mug of warm tea.  "It's impossible to sleep with you in the room.  Now with both of you in my bed, it's going to be doubly impossible."
Mirabel laughed again, blowing on the cup.  She settled comfortably between them, nestled deeply in the pillows against the headboard.
They stayed up just long enough to finish their tea, chatting about what color Mirabel was going to paint her new bedroom.
(It seemed she was taking up his offer to paint it any color of the rainbow… and was choosing all of them.)
But it wasn't long before Agustín was blowing out the candle on his nightstand, looking over at his wife and daughter, both sound asleep beside him.
Yes, he thought as he pulled the blankets higher over their shoulders.  He might not have remembered the last time one of his children shared his bed, but he certainly wouldn't forget this one any time soon.

The elegance and indescribably beautiful danger of a Tiger
Fandom: Good Omens
Aziraphale x Sherlock!Reader
Words: 1356
Requested: Yes
Summary: There hasn't been a case in ages, at least it feels that way. So the only Thing, that's keeping you from setting London in fire is Aziraphale. Good luck
A/N:I already posted it, but due to problems with tumblr I had to delete my account. But I'm back and posted it again.
Tumblr media
| Part 1: You are here | | Part 2 | | Part 3 |
With an exaggerated sigh, she closed the book and put it next to the sofa on which she was lying. She would have liked to let it fall to the floor to emphasise how bored she was, but she was afraid that Aziraphale would have thrown her out of his apartment. And then her evening would only have become more boring.
"I'm bored," she growled softly as Aziraphale entered the room at that very moment.
He chuckled softly and set the two teacups down on the coffee table before sitting down in an armchair opposite her. She sparkled at him from narrowed eyes. "Stop laughing at me, Zira." Swinging her legs down from the armrest, she got to her feet. "Two weeks! It's been two weeks since I last had a case." She took long strides towards him, supporting herself with both hands on the armrests. Y/N leaned forward until her face was only inches from Aziraphales. "And I'm going insane." She pushed herself off again and began to stalk back and forth across the room.
Aziraphale couldn't help comparing her to one of the tigers he'd seen in a circus he'd attended with Crowley. Oh, when was that again? 1850? 1900? Aziraphale couldn't remember. But the way she walked across the room, ready to run at any moment reminded him of the elegance and indescribably beautiful danger of the noble great cat.
Aziraphale shook his head, barely perceptible, trying to dispel the thought. He lifted the teacup and put it to his lips.
"Well, if you're desperate for a case, I could lend you a detective novel." Aziraphale took a sip before placing the cup back on the saucer and setting it on the coffee table, next to Y/N's still untouched cup. "There are some fresh in right now. You could-"
She cried out almost desperately. "No, no, no!" Frustrated, she threw her hands in the air. "I'm not going to read anything. It's no good. It's not real." Again she rushed in front of him and smiled at him in the way Crowley always smiled when he had something insane or demonic in mind. Aziraphale had to admit that these things were often one and the same. "It doesn't remotely come close to the rush one feels when following a real trail. The euphoria of catching the culprit. A detective story-" she almost spat out the word "- doesn't even come close to that feeling."
Aziraphale leaned back a little in his chair as Y/N had come very close to him again. "Maybe a crime series on TV? Oh, or those games that are on the internet. Or-" Y/N let out a frustrated cry and dropped dramatically onto the sofa. "You don't get it, do you Aziraphale? I'm bored because I don't have a real case. For days. Obviously the angels and God think there should be peace. I disagree. Strongly. This is London! Home of Sherlock fucking Holmes. God and their angels should take a holiday!"
"Y/N" Scandalised, Aziraphale looked at her and the ceiling in turn. "There's no need to talk about the Almighty like that. You'll get yourself into trouble." Again Y/N jumped up from the sofa. "Almighty my ass." A twinkle came into her eyes. "Or is it not the angels at all and the demons are just lazy?"
Aziraphale swallowed, blinking. "Um-"
"I knew it," she hissed, looking around searchingly. "Where's my phone?"
Aziraphale rose and tried to keep the smile on his face. "What do you need it for, love?" She gave a triumphant shout and fished the phone out from behind one of the pillows before she began typing wildly on it. "I'm going to call Crowley and kick his ass into doing something mischievous." The angel's eyes snapped open. "Oh absolutely not." And with a snap of his fingers, the phone disappeared from Y/N's hand.
For a few seconds she continued to stare at the place where her mobile phone had been lying until a moment before. Then she slowly turned to Aziraphale, her eyes twinkling deadly. " Where is my mobile phone?" She emphasised each word, dragging it out as they approached it with lurking, slow steps. Once again, Aziraphale couldn't help comparing her to a tiger that slowly approached its prey, only to tear it to pieces moments later. And in this case, Aziraphale was the prey.
Accordingly, he backed away slowly. "Don't worry dear, your phone is fine." He bumped his back against the shelf. Y/N continued to move closer. "Give it to me," she hissed, "I have to call Crowley. Otherwise I'll go insane." The angel swallowed softly. "You'll get it back, love, but only after you calm down."
Wrong choice of words.
Almost snarling, she lunged forward and grabbed him by the collar of his coat, pulling him closer. Aziraphale was glad the shop had already closed. "Give. It. To me." Her scent rose to his nostrils and befuddled his senses, so he couldn't put proper words together. Again, Y/N cried out in frustration before she let go of him. " Fucking hell, Aziraphale. I. Need. A. Case! Now!" She ruffled her hair and stormed past the shelves. Instantly Aziraphale hurried after her. Otherwise she would get herself hurt. Or get herself into trouble.
" Darling, now wait, please." He was astonished to find that her path, and therefore his path, led her to the kitchen. "Does it have to be a case? We can spend our evening in another way-" He stopped and looked at the picture in front of him in confusion. "What are you doing?" Grimly, Y/N stared at him before lighting the Bunsen burner, wherever she got it from. Instantly the flame shot up, bathing her features in a reddish colour. With a grim smile, she lifted up some lacquer for shoes, something Aziraphale had never seen before. He was an angel, he didn't need such things. Slowly she poured some of the liquid varnish into a container. "An experiment that just occurred to me." With a demonic grin, she turned to the Bunsen burner. "Oh, no way." As quickly as he could, he shoved himself between her and the Bunsen burner and gently took the jar of liquid varnish from her hand. " Love, you need to calm down." Aziraphale snapped his fingers again and the Bunsen burner, as well as the varnish, disappeared into nothingness. She groaned in frustration. "Aziraphale! I have to do something. And I don't mean reading." Aziraphale smiled gently at her. He had grown used to these phases of her over time. "I know that, my love. However, I can't let you possibly hurt yourself." She folded her arms. "You're an angel, you could have healed me." She pushed her lower lip forward to convince him, but Aziraphale just shook his head and gently grabbed her by the arms. "I think-" he slowly pushed her away from the kitchen in case she needed to hide another Bunsen burner in the drawer. "That I know what we can do."
She snorted, as if she could read his mind. "Don't worry about it. The second one is in the attic, packed away." Aziraphale shook his head. "Do I want to know why you have two of them?" She grinned. "Ask Crowley."
"No thanks." Aziraphale continued to lead her down the corridor before they arrived at the dressing room. She raised her eyebrow. "What's this about?" Aziraphale smiled and held her coat out to her. "We're going out." Y/N more or less willingly allowed herself to be helped into her coat. "Dinner? You do know that's not even close to a case, right?" Aziraphale chuckled and wrapped the scarf around her neck almost affectionately before tapping the tip of her nose. "You may drive." He reached into his jacket pocket and tossed her the car keys.
All at once, a broad smile spread across her features. Y/N was usually never allowed to drive. Aziraphale often even claimed that her driving was worse than Crowley's.
"Well. That's not a case either-" Her smile became more mischievous. "But clearly better than one of your detective novels."
