You know, capitalism is another one of those words that sadly is like problematic in that it's functionally useless because people just toss it out and then everyone gets so hung up debating the meaning of the word capitalism that the whole point is lost
That's why I don't ever really use it. It doesn't really matter if it's capitalism or if it's cronyism or... whatever, I think it's bad when companies make record profits while prices go up up up
I think there's probably an issue and it probably needs to be solved (and I'm afraid you can't convince me less regulation is a magic bullet)
I like currency and exchanging currency because it seems like a good way of moving goods and labor around, but I also strongly support welfare and think that any group of more than 50 people is probably starting to get corrupt
Don't trust the government, but sure as hell don't trust corps...
I don't know, my original point is that sadly capitalism gets tossed around too much to mean anything anymore... but I just see too many argumentative people online so I'm tossing out my stances to avoid getting side tracked debating what I mean
What I really really mean is just fucking say what you're saying and don't bother saying capitalism cause you'll just make people argue and miss your point
#this is about me reblogging a post the mentions the word capitalism#and I sometimes do that and have people get in and argue about if something is or isn't capitalism#and it's like yeah mate and honestly I hear you; I'm not sure that it fully 100% fits here and if it does it's so broad it's meaningless#but like... read the bit before they said capitalism and have a think on that instead#like let's focus on the description of the situation and how we feel about that description more than a single definition#I honestly don't really care what things are called half as much as the actions being taken and how effective they're likely to be#don't really care if something's called hatemurderdeathism if it's making things better with no policies I hate#obviously there's some things where I'd be like 'hmm... let's not call it that; cause that implies some specific bad stuff'#but like broad strokes shit... capitalism socialism libertarian... what the fuck ever...#is there a strong social net while people are free to trade goods and services?#then I probably am mostly for this plan#fight about the name but leave me out of it#...that's another big part of why I don't call myself anything#takes too long trying to explain your definitions and get people to agree that it doesn't actually mean fascist murder#(cause whatever label you run under I bet I've seen someone call it a fascist murder)#nah; I'm not any this or that group... given up on that a long time ago#I'm just a stupid idiot with various ideas I'd like to talk with people to see how we can move the needle more in that direction#like the less people starving and being homeless direction#and the more worthwhile and productive work and less busy pointless work for megacorps direction#which I think means a shift to more small businesses... which is actually part of why I'm for a UBI#pretty sure I know at least one person on here with a business idea (and knowing them it's a good one)#but they just lack the financial stability to start the business#so I actually want a UBI cause I think it would be good for the economy#never gonna say I can't be stupid or wrong; but that is one of my motives#...whatever... none of this matters; really ought to hurry up and die but I procrastinate that as hard as everything else

~The 5 times Charles talked about you publicly~
Pairing: Charles Leclerc x actress!reader.
Warning- it's my first time ever writing so please be kind. English is not my first language so please ignore it if there are any mistakes.
Tumblr media
1. The first time Charles was caught talking about you was pure accident and it wasn't even him who brought you up. It was an overly competitive Carlos who couldn't keep his mouth shut. It was during a C² challenge of who knows your teammate better and it was all going pretty much in Charles favour because the questions were too easy according to him. So when the score was 6 to 4 he was feeling pretty confident about winning but what he didn't expect was the next question to throw him off.
"Who's your current crush?" Was honestly not a difficult question to answer and Charles knew he would nail it. He totally knew who Carlos was crushing on.
"It's Y/N! He watches her interviews and giggles because she's so beautif-oww mate stop hitting me!“ Charles knew he had to make his teammate stop talking before he spilled anything more.
"Is it true?" Now this was a question Charles didn't know how to answer, should he own up that he was hopelessly crushing on her and that it was true that he watched all her interviews. But then again who could blame him she was so beautiful and he honestly loved the way she spoke, something about the way she spoke made Charles want to listen to her for hours.
"Yeah it's true. I really like her as an actress and she's very pretty but I don't giggle watching her!" He thought that was a decent answer.
"He does! He does it! He even watches fan edits of h-" Carlos was cut off by a wildly flinging hand of Charles.
" I do not!" was what Charles could come up with as he tried to stop Carlos. The next day he woke up with thousands of mentions of fans telling him that they understood...he didn't knew if he should feel embarrassed or laugh at some of the memes. He even liked a few of them.
2. The second time Charles mentioned you it was after you had soft launched each other for two months without the fans knowledge. It was nice to share secret moments with each other and bask in the privacy of home dates. It had been 7 months of dating and Charles was on the moon. His car was great, he was leading the championship with 10 points and he had a wonderful women supporting him. The only thing which bothered him was him not being able to shout his love and show you off to the world. So a mutual decision was taken between you two to not hide anymore but what you didn't expected was Charles to come running towards you as he got out of the car after coming p2 in the Silverstone Grand prix. You weren't even able to utter a word before he was kissing you. It wasn't a peck it was Charles expressing his love and gratitude for your unwavering support.
" How does winning feels now? Much sweeter than before?" Was the teasing question he got as he went to the post race interviews. He wasn't surprised. He knew he was going to get questions after a public kiss.
"Yeah, it feels great winning here with Carlos coming p1. It's a great weekend for our team" he laughed as he answered the question.
" So I'm sure you have plans to celebrate tonight. Any special plans?" He knew what the interviewer wanted to hear so he gave it to him with a smile so big he knew his dimples were all out.
" Yeah there's a plan to celebrate tonight definitely, the teams been throwing different ideas but honestly I would just prefer to spend my time with my girlfriend and have a quiet night. She came directly from her shooting so I'm sure she would want to stay in. And we can party with the team next time!"
It was safe to say that they both were trending worldwide.
3. At first Charles didn't know why he was trending and before he could check it he was asked to hurry up and get in the car. It was the worst race of the season for him. He was leading the race with pole position in France but he lost traction in his rear tyres and crashed into turn 11 which caused him the race. He was frustrated and tired. He just wanted to go back and not think about the horrible way he got out of the race. He wanted to cuddle you and forget about the day so when he was told to to attend a group media pen he was annoyed. When the question came he was speechless at first his brain shutting down from the ridiculous question.
" It's a very bad time for you Charles with the dnf and your recent breakup so how do you seperate these things from your work? Did your breakup caused you maybe to lose?" He wasn't aware of his break up.
"My what?!" Charles was shocked he didn't knew he was broken up because he was not planning to break up anywhere in the future.
"You didn't tell me you broke up?!" Perrie was genuinely confused now. If it was true wouldn't Kika tell him that? He knew the girls were close and he was sure that Charles would tell him that, wouldn't he?
"What did you do?" It was Lewis who glared at Charles and he finally got his wits to answer.
"No! We are very much together and happy! Who told you that we broke up?! Is that why I was trending Today?"
"Yes there was news that you broke up with your girlfriend and that you were heartbroken." The interviewer nervously let out a chuckle which caused the drivers to laugh
"Oh my god! No! We are together and I plan to be together for a long time so there's no need to worry about that ...I don't think I would survive without her pasta to be honest and her too." He reassured.
When he finally got the chance to check his notifications later in the night he could only laugh as he looked at the memes and the threats he got for fumbling a baddie like Y/N. He showed her some too as she layed on his chest on their bed.
4. The fourth time Charles gets asked is the first time he felt nervous talking about you ever in the entire 5 year relationship. It was because he knew he was absolute shit at lying. So when all the fellow drivers continue to tease Daniel for throwing the wedding party of the year. He remains quite and laughs at appropriate times.
" Charles you're quite there! So now that your friends are settling down with Daniel and Max getting married is it safe to assume that you're next?" Oh shit! He was sweating. He didn't know how to answer that without revealing that he had already picked a ring and was going to propose very soon. He had even taken her father's approval last month on their family trip together.
"Yes mate when are you getting married?"
"He's definitely getting married next!"
"With how whipped he is for her how do have any doubts about that!“ Charles tried to tune out the teasing remarks of his friends to formulate words to answer.
" Uh yeah, I would very much like to but we are focusing on the present at the moment but there's no doubt that I plan to marry her because honestly I can't imagine anyone else by my side when I think of my future. I want to start a family with her and get old with her. She completes me in the true sense and is my piller of strength. I don't think I have ever felt this much love for anyon-"
"And this is why we don't question Charles because then he doesn't stop!" Charles laughed at that as if Max was any better when talking about his wife.
"So yeah marriage is definitely on the cards on the future " he concluded.
And after 2 months he knew why he was trending and he couldn't be more happier. He now laughed at the mentions and yes he knew how to fight for his fiance.
5. The fifth time Charles was asked about you he was smiling ear to ear and anyone who looked at him can see that he was glowing.Others would say it was because he was starting the new season as a world champion but he knew it was because of Y/N and what she had told him the night before and later to their closed ones. So he felt quite happy answering questions.
"How are you feeling for the new season? Excited? Nervous?" the interviewer couldn't stop himself from smiling too. Charles happiness was contagious.
"It feels good to be back to the racing. The car feels good and after last year we are quite excited for this season too. We are looking forward to the races and with new tracks added to the calendar the excitement levels have increased. Yeah there's nervousness too-ah only little bit but that's totally normal...But I am quite confident! Also now I have to be a little careful because now that we are going to have new addition to the family I can't risk it! I have to-"
"New addition?" He stopped talking eyes widened and looked at the camera.
"What?" He was fucked, so fucked. She was going to kill him. He knew.
"You told new addition? Is it true? Are you going to be a father? Congratulations!" He could only nod and accept the hug he was receiving. They were supposed to announce it with a cute insta post and he had ruined it. He was the one to suggest it, he had even thought about the caption.
"Tell us more! Is she going to come to the races now? I'm sure everyone would like that?!" The interview continued
"Oh yes! Yes she wants to come to the races but I think we'll keep it a little private and only between family to enjoy this moment together. It's a new beginning with my person so I want to be there for her at every step. Its- it's definitely a blessing for us and I'm so grateful for her."
The next thing he knew he was trending along with y/n as parents and he couldn't ask for anything more.

Can you do lute x female!reader, reader uses a strapon on lute and wing play is involved. 👀
Oh my~ honestly this- was fun to write- I never wrote wingplay stuff before so! Hopefully you enjoyed it~?
Warning(s): wing kink, strap on use(on lute), vanilla but not at the same time? Idk. Lutes rude at the begining(she's just nervous) overestimated(lute) couple mentions of "breeding"/"being bred"
Im- gonna jump right into it- HELP I- KINDA WENT ALMOST ALL IN ISH?
Lute x reader
It took a while to get Lute to even THINK of bottoming. Much less allow you to even use a strap on her. She's more then happy to use it on you but for her? The thought didn't exactly appeal to her. But- promising to try it once and never bring it up unless she allowed it(that and a bunch of.. kisses) then? She entertained the idea
And that's how she was. On your shared bed with a deep scowl, completely naked. If it weren't for the deep flush on her face. And how her wings puffed up, threatening to expand? You'd assume she was pissed(she was, but that's besides the point)
"The fuck is taking so long?" She growled our glaring at rhe bedroom door "God lute. Calm down, won't you, baby? I'm making sure it's all strapped on!" At that? She growled, looking away with a deep snarl.
A couple minutes passed by before the door finally opened "fucking finall-" her words cut in her throat seeing the toy. Not like the one she uses no- it was so much bigger "what the fuck is that? That's what you picked?" She growled out glaring at you flushed darkly making you smirk moving close to her
"What~? Lute, you scared?" You teased, kissing her, gently biting at her lips, ignoring her protests of 'hell nos!' Sighing "babe.. if you don't wanna do this we don't gotta. We can- like cuddle or something?" Making her stop. As if weighing jer options before shaking her head
Grumbling, she huffed. "No. Its.. fine. Just you picked a bigger one then I tho- oh fuck you don't get so fucking smug" she snarled out glaring at you flushed embarrassed of the whole thing snickering kissing her again
"Sorry baby~ now... can you bend over for me~? Wanna see those gorgeous wings of yours~" Purring out pouring liquid onto the toy watching her do exactly what you asked of her smirking at how they fluttered at the praise "you always get like this when I compliment your wings~" getting onto the bed feeling her entrance gently "excited I see~" Purring out seeing her wings fluttered pushing the tip on her entrance slowly pushing into her stopping half way
"Fuck~," Lute whimpered out, grinding back against you. Hiding her face into the pillow "more~ g-give me more~" feeling you push all the way in, smirking down at her. Moving to hold her waist pounding into her gently
"Easy now lute~," you purred, watching her under you moaning loudly clawing at the sheets. "I've got you~ gonna get faster, ok baby?" Pounding into her faster - harder. Holding her waist, squeezing her gently panting
"Would think you're trying to breed me, Dove~?" She gasped out, bending more bouncing against her, making you hum in thought, biting your lip at how much of a "switch' just occurred. How she's eager to submit to you all the sudden
"Maybe I want to breed you, Lute~." Pounding faster into her ignoring how the bed shook under the both of you barely starting to hit the wall knowing a bit of roughness? She could handle "would you blame me?" You purred out, watching her wings fluttering, flapping slowly.
Smirking at a "cruel" thought, "i wonder~" sensitive here, too?" Moving a free hand to rub at her wings, going all over her delicate wings, pushing all the tight places, hearing her sob moaning louder for you."yeah~ that sensitive, huh baby?" Purring out your pace unrelenting as you took her in your bed.
Watching her wings expand as if to show off to you. As if to signal to you about being a good mate for you. "God gorgeous baby~ yeah? Wanting to mate me, yeah?" Pounding rougher into hrr leaning to kiss where her wings met "wow~ shaking this much?" Seeing her nod so drunk off you from being overestimated. "God~ can't wait to breed you~"
Ever so gently leaning to bite at a part of her wings watching her arch her back, screaming your name out, smirking kissing the mark cooing "couldn't help myself gorgeous ~ I'm sorry" pounding faster watching as she slumped laying under you sobbing out from the pleasure "more~" hearing a broken whimper from her. Ignoring how the bed shook now, hitting the wall harshly creaking under you both from the unrelenting pace.
Panting heavily moving to tower over her kissing her neck praising her as you marked her ip moving faster in her "doing so good~ you close my love?" Purring against her neck watching her nod humming, they smirked, pounding faster in her before humming, rubbing her wings, watching her shake.
"Go ahead~"
At that? With a loud sob screaming out your name- lute came. Slumping down under your wings popping up, spreading as you cooed gently slowly pulling out, "That's my good girl~ I've got you~" whsipering, moving to clean her up gently laying next to her "liked it Lute?"
Grumbling glaring, she moved, cuddling up beside you, kissing you gently. "It was perfect~" Purring out panting wings fluttering .After I catch my breath, I'll pay you back my dove~", making you flush, smirking nodding

HEAR ME OUT
reader is a character on st since season one and on season 4 she is Eddies love interest and the have like a sex scene to film and after they do it both reader and Joe have like a sexual tension and something like that
(i cant describe things i’m sorry, i hope you could understand)
author's note: i'm hearing you loud and clear sweetie hehe! i tried my best to get your idea and thoughts into one bubble so please forgive me if this wasn't what you wanted - i'm not really great at writing when it comes to intercourse or explicit stuff like that haha! i really tried 
pairing: joseph quinn x gn! reader
warnings: intercourse/smut, strong language, lowercase letters, consensual s*x, fluff
summary: joseph and y/n’s character have a shagging scene but in real life there’s more into their love life.
abbrevations: y/c/n - your character’s name
Tumblr media
 you never thought you would actually start off your career with playing a beloved character in stranger things from season one until up the latest one. your character was the charismatic, enthuiastic and lovely cousin of the wheelers, (choose the first name you like for your character) wheeler. your show’s individual had lived through all the slander of upside down - the demogorgons, the mind flayer and now in season four - vecna. you had grown so much as a character and also as a person in real life. the stranger things team had given you chance to see the world and show what you love to do - enjoy your job and communicating with people.
on season four, there was a new character introduced - edward “eddie” “the freak” munson, an eccentric hawkins high school student and president of hawkins high's dungeons & dragons-themed "hellfire club" which your character was also part of. in the beginning, (y/c/n) thought it was some kind of a banter club that fancied some weird arse monsters and shite but the more you got into it, the more you started to like it. being part of that club, obviously, meant that you got to be friends with mike’s mates - dustin and lucas, and of course, eddie himself. the tension between you and eddie started to grow each year and you were pretty certain that your character had developed some other feelings towards him.
additionally, eddie and y/c/n had made it official in season four and they became love interests because the duffer brothers wanted eddie to have some fucking rest as well. they also wanted your character and joe’s role to have some intimate moments and then boom - they made you have a fucking sex scene! you had never done this before, ever during your acting career.
before the sex scene happened, you requested to have a chat with joseph himself. he nodded and you both went to his trailer. you both sat down and you took a very deep breath in and let out the heaviest sigh.
you groaned to yourself: “so, this scene…shall we talk about it?”
joe looked at you, nodding, and responding to you: “yeah, sure! i assume that’s your first time doing this kind of setting of performance?”
you crumpled your nose and look at the script. you weren’t really sure what to expect or to do. you tried your best to explain yourself and everything, not even noticing that joe was looking at you a bit worryingly. you stuttered a bit: “i guess it’s just about the consent between you and me. please forgive me if i talk shit because this is absolutely nervewrecking for me and i’m honestly losing my shit - i know it’s not like a proper shagging scene but it has to be portrayed as.”
he was looking at you in an awe, being absolutely mesmerised by your maturity. he added: “i’m definitely understanding when it comes to consent and i am giving mine to you only if you are okay with it.”
you nodded and gave your affirmation and consent to do it. your heart was throbbing way too fast and the butterflies in your stomach did not make the situation any better. but you were certain that you could feel safe and sound with and around joseph. you hugged him tenderly and told him that you were ready to make the performance happen. 
“it is what it is,” you thought to yourself. the whole world, including your parents in a different country, will be able to see your messy, but hot scene of having a shag with very handsome man who is joseph quinn. 
~~
after the sweaty and god-damn fucking sensual takes of you and joe’s character having an intercourse, you got an outstanding applause for it for some odd fucking reason. you were some sort of glad it was finished but part of you wanted more from it. you felt like there was actual sexual tension between you and joe, the one you have never felt before. your ex never really made you feel like that and you believe joe had pushed and pressed the button in you. 
you thanked everyone on the filming spot for being supportive and not judging, giving a little bow down and wave, you made back to your trailer where you had a refreshing shower. getting out of the shower cubicle, you organised and packed your stuff for tomorrow’s shooting. the need of having your trailer organised and cleaned for the next day was a must for you. you couldn’t handle arriving to a messy work place, it was an ick for you.
whilst you were putting your personal stuff into your handbag, you heard soft rhythm knock on your trailer’s door. 
“who is it?” you asked.
“it’s joe,” he responsed in a chuckle.
“oh, come in! the door is open!” you invited him, closing your handbag’s lock.
he popped in, closing the door and gasped a bit. then he said: “listen, i know it’s coming out of nowhere and i don’t believe it myself i’m going to say it, “ you turned to him and listened him, smiling, “but ever since we met on the first day around the reading table and after in the shooting complex, i have realised that i am yearning for you every day and i have come to the terms that i have fallen for you. i know, y/n, i will certainly understand if the feeling is not mutual but-”
you shushed him hastily, not letting him finish his sentence on purpose.
“joe, i’m going to stop you right there,” you responded abruptly, joe trying to mumble the last few words from his sentence but you put your index finger on his lips. “you have no idea how much i have wanted to hear this. it has been absolutely lifting to keep this in me as well and i couldn’t be more delighted to hear this coming from you!”
you swifted your finger away from his mouth and placed your own lips on his. it was all so sudden and you felt like you were entering the heaven itself. joe grabbed your waist and nudged you to the edge of the table where all the makeup products go. he slipped his tongue on yours and let it passionately swirl with your tongue. taking off his t-shirt, he unzipped your dress that you had only put on a few minutes ago. he broke the sensual make out session and studied the beautiful figure of yours before teasing your front upper of body.
“you are so beautiful, y/n,” he whispered. his tongue did wonders around the aroused nipples of yours. you felt that you had already become pretty wet down there and you sensed that you needed to feel him inside quicker than ever before.
you relinquished him from your torso and moaned his name. “joe, i want-, i need you inside me now!” 
the devoir of love, warmth and lush inside was skyrocketing. joe nodded, unzipping his trousers. but he wanted to make sure that you were actually okay with it. you gave your premission and also said that you were on an implant, so it was go-go!
he spat on his right hand to make his shaft more wetter before inserting it through your pudenda. you were metaphorically begging on your knees for him to slide inside you so you could be at ease but it felt like it was joe’s purpose to make you more eager and built up even more lust in you both. finally, he pushed his phallus in you and joe started to thrust slowly to needle you longer. he speeds up with every movement, you holding tightly onto his arm and trying to catch a breath.
joe holds your neck with one of his arm, the other helping to pull your waist to help the sexual movement to go on. he kisses you in between the hip thrusts, not letting you go and telling sweet nothings. 
“fuck, y/n, this feels so amazing!” he moans between the words and after each word, his breathing cresendos. he felt so caring at the same time while pounding harder inside you. the pleasure you felt was something you haven’t felt for ages and you craved for love making like that. with each hard pounding inside you started to reach the very high of you. you enjoyed every second and moment of this, so did joe.
joe looked at you and moved you closer to his body. you began to feel coming to your beginning of orgasm.
“joe, i’m about to co-” you moaned and screamed powerfully.
“hold on tight, princess,” he sped up even more, banging into you even harder, making your thighs go numb from the bliss. “i’m co-o-o-m-,”
you came a bit earlier than joe but his warm liquid was filling up your down part of body and the drops of his “cum” was dripping out from your “nether yee” part. his moans were ecstatic. your whole body was shaking from the hardcore shag and orgasm which felt so euphoric to you. joe helped you clean up the mess. the felicity in him never felt better and he was certain that he wanted to take this to new level with you. he assisted with zipping back your dress behind your back and gave little kisses on your shoulders. the affection from joe endured your mood and feelings.
you said: “i want this to last forever,” you glanced at yourself and joe in the mirror, his hands around your body, his face nuzzled on your neck.
“we can make it happen if you let me take this to next stage,” he placed tiny smooches on your cheek, neck and behind the ears.
you closed your eyes to take in this moment and gently stated: “i will absolutely love that, mister quinn.”

part two to the unnamed chapter from like a few days ago!! honestly, im suprised people liked it. like i didnt think it would get good stuff. like i dindt think it was bad, but im like the hype has died down anyways!! we meet the man, the myth, the devil himself!!
Word Count: 4.8K
You can hardly keep your eyes open. Even with the soft yellow glow of the light, it's far too bright for you. Shutting your eyes only brings you a bit of solace. You're somewhere soft, something light and feathery pulled over you, and you shift your shoulder blades to pull your wings closer to your body, and instead you sob, the pain sharp and unforgiving to your frail body.
Did you fall? No, maybe you slept on them wrong. You don’t have to think about stretching your wings, it was always second nature, as easy as blinking and as easy as moving your arm. You’d stretch your wings, and you’d ask Adam to help you preen your wings. You shift, and something feels empty, it feels light, lighter than air. You can’t remember your wings feeling so light, not unless you were flying. You’d hate to have messed up your wings over something as frivolous as falling.
Memories rush in, fragmented, only the beginning pieces clear enough for you to remember. Your eyes snap, and you’re met with harsh lighting. You see nothing but wood and stone, and a home that is not yours, and you groan into something soft under you. Moving your arm is painful, it feels bent and sore, and you reach for feathers, and find nothing. Your cries bury themselves into something plush, something that soaks your tears and drool and leaves only a patch behind. A hand pats softly against your arm, and you flinch. 
A voice shushes out to calm you. “It's okay. You're safe. I'm not here to hurt you,” they whisper. “Just relax, and try not to move. You still haven't recovered.”
Even if they speak softly to you, it's far too loud. The words echo in your head, and attempting to think about where you are and who you're with is making you nauseous. Or perhaps it's the sickly honeyed scent that is thick in the air. 
“‘S too sweet,” you slur, clawing at fabric beneath you. You regret speaking, the movement making your already sore jaw ache further, the joints pushing into your splitting skull. Your head pulses and your mouth is cotton filled, thick and impossible to speak. “Where?” You hope that someone will give you an answer to where you are. Or at least what you're on.
“Oh, thank you,” a voice chirps. 
“Don't think it was a compliment Bee,” a thick accent says in a hushed voice.
“Well I'm taking it as one,” the voice huffs.
“You're at my home,” the gentle voice is back. “You're in a spare bed. Just try to relax.” You can’t relax with all the sound, and when you try to tell him that, you only murmur, slurring letters together. “I know, I know.” He doesn’t, but you can’t correct him. “Just try not to move so much.” It's quiet again, a silence that stretches and fills the void with nothingness. The smell and the shuffling of bodies is the only indication that you aren’t alone, that you haven’t been left yet. 
“Luci, mate, you sure it's a good idea to have an angel laying around?” You hear the chime of bells, and you want everything to stop. 
“They aren't an angel,” a voice retorts. A hand places itself over your bicep, and squeezes you softly.
“Yeah, but like, it’s still a bit dangerous, isn’t it?” The voice is much more feminine, and you can hear a buzz when they speak, a low hum that doesn’t stop. “Having one of them just on your bed.”
“A spare bed,” the voice corrects. The bed dips beside you, your fingers tap against the mattress. “It was dangerous when we were first here,” snapping at the other, before sighing. “It’s been a long time since another angel has fallen.” 
“Lucifer, honey,” this voice is smoother than the others, and you wish they would all stop talking. “What’s the plan here?” Someone makes a noise of confusion. “They aren’t an angel anymore, if anything, they’re a walking target. We don’t even know if they’re an Exorcist.”
“Heaven hasn’t cast out an Angel in so long,” the voice says softly, a finger tracing shapes onto your arm. “And I highly doubt they’re an Exorcist. I can almost- I’m positive that they aren’t.”
An Exorcist. That’s what they think. Lute flashes in your mind, and Adam follows, weapons ready, and thinking hurts far too much. You groan, nuzzling into the pillow, trying to tune out the sounds. You need them to stop talking.
A hand pats at your arm, and soon you feel fingers tangle themselves into your hair. Fingertips ghost alongside the tender part of your scalp. The voice hushes you, lulling you back into a state of unconsciousness. “I’m sorry,” they whisper, “we must be too loud for you.”
“Lucifer, I know you’re still-” the person pauses- “upset-” they sound unsure of the word they’re using- “about the last few years, but you can’t take on a pity project.”
Lucifer. They keep saying- oh shit. You let out a whimper. You don’t know if you’re thankful for being found by him, or if it’s a curse to be found by him. He shushes you once more, massaging gently at your scalp. 
“Yeah-” the buzzing is louder this time- “you know, if you were lonely, you could have just said something. I got some cute little hounds that need loving homes, ya know? And uh, they’re cute-” they hiss that word and you furrow your brows- “and practically housebroken.”
“Luci, it’s not like they’re worth much. I mean look at ‘em. I don’t even think I remember seein’ them back up when we were there, so they gotta be new or somethin’.”
The hands still, fingertips pressing into the tenderness of your head. You let out a low sound, and give a soft nudge of your head for the person- Lucifer you presume, to let go. He apologizes, soothing over the spot where he’s touched. “It’s not- They aren’t a pity project. This isn’t that. Don’t you remember how bad it was. How painful it was to fall. At least we had each other. We were stronger than most angels.” You wish they would all stop talking. Especially when they refer to falling, you can't stand to hear it. “They have no one. This is- I just want them to feel safe.” His words come to a slow stand, and if it didn’t hurt to cry, you’d sob at the reminder of your punishment. “Their wings were ripped from them, they weren’t even allowed to heal.”
“Well it ain’t like Heaven is known for their leniency.”
“Listen, Lucifer, we’re just saying that you’ve been having a lot of big emotions recently, and maybe nursing someone back to health isn’t what you need right now.” Lucifer- at least you’re assuming- makes a noise in protest at what the other voice is stating. “What’s the long-term plan, hm? You fix them and then what? Do they live here? Do you kick them out? Take them over to Charlie?”
The room is still, the buzzing has quieted down to a hum, and you feel sleep grasp onto you once more. “You should all go.” The group protests immediately, voices overlapping one another, the buzzing higher, and scent of sweets and leather grows and irritates you further. Your head pounds, banging against your skull. You shift, pulling at the wounds, and a cry muffles itself into your pillow. “It’s okay, you’re okay” the voice says in a hushed voice, palms pressed flat against you, cooling your feverish body. “I’ll give you something right now to help the pain.” He clears his throat away from you. “I have to think about things. I’ll make sure to give you updates as they come along, but for now, I’ve taken up enough of your time.” He pauses. “You should return back to your rings.”
The buzzing quiets down, and footsteps shuffle out. It's a mess of steps, puttering and pattering along the floor, and the sound is [welcomed] by silence. A door clicks shut, and you hear no lock. 
Thinking if you're a prisoner or not is too much of a task right now. The strength of the saccharine scent has left with its owner, and instead now gently wafts in the air. Somewhere on the other side of the room, you hear a sigh.
“I’m sorry. We shouldn’t have been having that conversation with you in the room.” You let out a short huff in response. “It won’t happen again, okay? We must have been loud for you, huh?” With all the strength that you can muster, you give a short nod. “Let me go get you something for the pain, okay?” You feel a soft hand over your bicep, giving you a soft squeeze. The hand lingers with fingertips that kiss over your skin in feather light touches as they pull away. 
You drift between consciousness and unconsciousness, unable to fully sleep, but you don’t register anything that happens. All that you’re aware of is that someone is back in the room with you. He’s beside you, something plastic touching against your lips and the thick taste of medicine is bitter on your tongue. 
“I’m going to light some incense, okay?” You’d rather he give you water or anything else to wash the taste off. “You just let me know if it’s too much.” The scent is much calmer compared to the sickly sweet one from earlier. “I had Belphegor send me some sleeping aids. I believe it’s the only reason you’re able to get some actual rest.” Your lips mouth the words “thank you”. Something soft and warm covers you, and you feel yourself sink further into the mattress. “I don’t know how much of your power was stripped, or how much you even had to begin with. Mammon was right about that, you are a newer angel, you might not even be able to do much other than heal.” His voice is growing harder to understand, it’s fading into the back, and sleep pulls you further in. “However, I wouldn’t ask you to even attempt to heal yourself- not in this state,” he whispers.
“Taste bad,” is all that you can mutter. Your head pounds, and it feels like it’s swelling. Each word that you speak is laid thick and slurred together. Every syllable only brings you sickness and an ache in your skull.
“I know,” he sighs. “The medicine here doesn’t taste good, but there’s not much that I can do about it.” A cloth dabs at your mouth. “Hell is supposed to be a punishment after all,” he says with a humorless laugh. “I’m- I’m sure that Heaven’s medicine is still divine as ever,” they mumble with a heavy weight on the words. 
“Like nectar,” you speak softly, the memory of it faint on your tongue. 
Something brushes along your face, and you feel the pull of sleep. “Yeah,” he breathes out, “like nectar.”
-
Knocking on the door disrupts your sleep. Something gargles sounds on the other side of the door. In your mind, it’s too faint to make anything out. You hear the squeak of the door open, and through bleary eyes, you make out two tall figures. Again, they speak to you, and you nod back to sleep.
You feel the latex of gloves touch your body, knuckles the brush against the nape of your neck and hands that grab your arms, ready to still you as you tense. “We’re just changing your bandages.” You shake your head. “It’ll be quick, just stay still.” You’d rather deal with an infection than with how the doctors treat you. You recall a voice making an argument that you’re not welcomed here, that you're an angel in a land of sin. 
“No, no,” you mutter, tears staining your face and wetting the pillow. You feel the cold breeze on your back, whispering over your wounds. The stickiness of the gauze peels away from you, and you can smell the stench of it- metallic, rich and earthy. Something so sweet, and it disgusts you and the doctors. 
Their hands grip tighter onto you, holding you down and you yelp. “Stay still.” You recall many moons ago how Lute told you something similar. How her words were laced with sorrow and false bravado. These doctors, these demons, spit the words at you, and hold you down. 
Your hands claw at the mattress, your screams echoing against the wall, bouncing and ringing in your ears. Light blinds you immediately as your eyes flash open, and your head is head, pushed down onto the mattress, as curses are spit onto you. You’re in Hell. Your teeth find themselves tearing into the pillow, drool pooling into a puddle and tears slipping down.
“Just,” they grunt, and press firmly down on your back, “stay still.” You gasp for breath, kicking and digging your knees into the bed. “Please,” they beg, and you fall, your body limp and heavy on the bed. 
As quick as it started, it ends just as quick. You’re left sobbing, gasping for breath, and despite the pain, and tearing open the wound, you hug yourself, your nails scratching against the cloth. They’ve placed it far too tight for you. 
-
Only a few weeks pass when you’re finally cognitive. When your head isn’t splitting at every noise, and you can move somewhat without risking any pain or even your fear of opening the wounds back open. You stay as still as possible, and try not to do any sudden movement that would stretch your back. Lucifer has attempted to reassure you that you’re fine now, that combined with Hell’s magic and his own blessing, you should be fit to move around. Of course, you will be sore, that can only go away with time. 
“You’ll be left with scars. That can’t be helped,” he told you, his eyes focused on how your hands fist the blanket, “but you’ll be okay.” He gives you a tender smile, and you cling to it in the night.
Once you were in a proper headspace, you knew you shouldn’t have been surprised to know that it was him taking care of you. From what you can faintly recall in one of the many conversations that he’s had in the room as you recovered, he knows what it’s like to be cast out. 
However, you are surprised at how caring and patient he is. That despite you being able to do most things on your own without stumbling, he is still beside you, keeping you company and comforting you when he has to change the bandages. He hardly lets anyone else do it after you complained about doctors accidentally wrapping the bandages too tight. His gentleness is a mask for his pity, and he can never meet your eyes without looking away. 
-
You’re laid on your stomach, and your only entertainment is wondering what could be inside the bedside drawers. While moving does not cause as much discomfort as it once did, you don’t risk stretching. You sit straight, and you look at the wall, and dare not to stretch your arms. Pillows have been fluffed and placed to create a soft barrier between you and the headboard of the bed. Knuckles rap against the door in a rhythm, and you stare at the wall in front of you. You wait for a second, and with a breath, you allow for the person to enter. 
“Hello,” Lucifer calls. “I’ve brought you some fruit. I’m sure that you must have been feeling peckish.” You give no reply. “I uh- I also brought some books.” The bowl of fruit is balanced above the small stack of books. “I was thinking that I’ll get you a television or something soon. But maybe some literature would be good for you.” He rests the tower on the dresser, and grabs the bowl between his hands. 
You should reply to him. You should tell him thank you- not just for the books and the bowl of fruit, but for housing you, for caring for you. But you cannot. Not when he’s a constant reminder of where you are. 
“I was wondering if there was any type of genre that you might like.” He sounds hopeful, wanting to continue a conversation with the husk in front of him. “It would be no trouble to get them to you.” 
His smile is stretched thin, and it looks painful. All of this is painful. Your eyes flitter over to the fruit bowl, and you wonder how you’d feed yourself when stretching your arms still pulls at the scars. 
“Would you like some?” He leans towards you, and you have the mental image of being some hurt bird being nursed back to health. “I had some demons go over to Earth and get some for you. I thought you’d prefer this over the food that we have here. Since you aren’t accustomed to Hell’s food, yet.” You stay silent, and after a moment he sighs. His heels click against the floor, and the bowl is placed on your lap. “You know,” he starts, “it would help if you talked. I know what you’re going through, and you can’t- you shouldn’t isolate yourself.” When you refuse to answer, he sighs. “Well, if you need something, just let me know.”
Despite not wanting to be here, of not having any need to want to continue your existence, you have grown a strong dislike of being alone in this room. You have no idea if he’s isolating for your own safety, or for some other nefarious reason. He clasps the door knob around his hand, and twists it. You wet your lips, and you need someone to talk to. 
“Lucifer?” You croak out, and you surprise yourself with your voice. You hadn’t heard it in so long, past the screaming and the tears. He turns to you, taking a step closer, and his hand returns the door knob to its closed position. “Can you stay?” You feel sick looking at the fruit. “Please?”
With a gentle smile, he nods his head. “Of course.” He grabs a chain from the corner of the room and carries it to sit beside you. It’s a deep wooden color, intricate designs carved into the legs of the chair, and a deep red cushion that is stitched into the seat and the back. 
The silence between the two of you is broken by the crunch of the fruit. You pierce a grape with the silver tines of the fork, and your body aches with the movement to bring it up to your mouth. The sweet juice does nothing to aide in your brooding and the awkward silence. 
He’s right, and you know that. You have to try. He’s the only contact that you have. Adam always hated how you’d hide your emotions, how you rather shut the world off, and at least that hasn’t changed since your falling. You need to talk to him. You can see the attempt that Lucifer has been making in order to keep you happy, to make your time here just a bit more bearable. You suck in your lower lip, and let your tongue brush over where your teeth have grazed.
“I was promised a trial,” you start. His eyes are on you, and you see him fiddle with his tie. “They promised it would have been fair.” You frown, and shake your head, an ache heavy in your chest. “I was so hopeful that it would have been.” The fruit is bitter on your tongue and you force yourself to swallow it.
After a moment’s silence, he speaks. “Who would have been the judge?”
The apple is pierced between your teeth, the skin ripping from the flesh of the apple. It was cute with care, no hint of the core tarnishing the fruit, ripe and perfect, only to be mauled by your teeth. “Father.” You swallow the fruit. “Or perhaps one of the Virtues.” Oranges are peeled, torn apart from the other slices, the piths of white removed. “I was worried that I would have fallen, even before I was given my verdict. My-” you look at Lucifer, and you remember who he has stolen- “I feared that I would have fallen, because I didn't matter. No one questions Heaven’s beliefs, not since-” you glance at him, and he turns his head- “I was sure I would have met the same fate.” The sweetness of the strawberries make your jaw tingle and ache. “And I did.”
“I’m sorry.” You hold the fork tightly, the silver pressing into the flesh of your palms. “The fear you had must have been,” he pauses, “intense.”
There is no one better who understands, other than Lucifer himself. You nod, and let the fork ding against the glass of the bowl. “I was good. I did what was needed of me, I didn’t dare speak out of turn.” You think of how Adam would run his mouth, how every other word would be a curse, would be of anything lewd. “Perhaps I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. Not if a question were enough to have me expelled from Heaven.” 
A gloved hand reaches, and falls just before your thigh. A gold band hugs at his finger, and you’re surprised to have yet seen his wife. Feeling your stare, he turns his hand, and lets the other fingers hide the symbol of matrimony. 
“Sometimes, that’s all it takes,” he says quietly, his tone soft, and wistful. “But, if it makes you feel any better, Hell has some redeeming qualities. It’s not all pain and suffering.” You look at him, and he gives you a smile. “We have an amusement park. There’s a uh-” he scratches the back of his neck, his gaze pointed elsewhere and checks flushing- “ride modeled after me.”
The corners of your lips turn, and you narrow your eyes at him. “After you?” You ask, an elfish tinge laced into your words.
“Shaped like my head.” A finger makes a circle in front of his face.
You scoff out a laugh, and the sound surprises you. You attempt to hide the smile, but when the corners still turn upwards, you look at your lap. “You are the Avatar of Pride after all,” you tell him, the lilt faint on your words.
“It’s actually very impressive,” he points out. “A whole ride dedicated to my likeness.”
“The line for it must be awful.” The juice of the fruit is thin on your tongue. “Heaven has zoos. There’s an area where you get to feed the birds out of the palm of your hand.” You push the fork upwards with the knuckle of your index. “They hardly ever peck your palm, but when they do, we call them kisses from one of Father’s creations.”
He snorts, and shakes his head. His smile is soft, and there's a lingering sadness to it before it falls. “Down in the Wrath ring, there are livestock shows where you’ll find horse bucking and catching the flamed greased pig.” You give him a look, and he smiles. “It’s not as nice as the zoo, I’m sure, but it’s just as entertaining.” He leans back on his chair. “Sometimes I would take my daughter.”
“Your daughter?” You knew of his wife, but you hadn’t realized that they had a child. “I didn’t know you had a daughter.”
He winces, and nods sheepishly. “Charlie,” he tells you her name. “I think you’d like her- she’s peppy.” He gives you a tense smile, and looks away. “We don’t talk as much as we used to.”
You frown. “I’m sorry to hear that.”
He shakes his head, and lets out a sigh. He sits straighter, and pulls his shoulders back. “How are the bandages?” You roll your ankles, unsure what to make of the sudden shift in conversation. “They’re not too tight are they?” It’s not your place to pry, and you don’t want to make him uncomfortable when he’s the one caring for you.
“No, Lucifer,” you answer. “They’re fine. Thank you.”
He nods, and you can tell he’s grown uncomfortable now. You don’t blame him. “Of course. I wanted to make sure that you were comfortable. As much as possible.” 
A silence befalls between the two of you. You bite into the fruit, and force yourself to swallow it. The nectar is sweet and makes your jaw ache. Beside you, Lucifer clears his throat, and you turn to him.He looks away, his eyes trained on the walls.
“If I may ask, I- Well you see, you know my name-” he looks at you again, and you tap your nails against the glass- “and I don’t know yours.” Your eyes widen, and you try to think back on when you might have whispered your name to him, but you can’t recall it. “I just- I was thinking since you’re here, and I’ve changed your bandages, I thought, that I should be calling you by your name.”
“My name?” You whisper, and you feel silly for keeping it close to you. For just a fraction of a second, for some far away thought to be held, that you didn’t want to share the last thing that ties you to Heaven.
“If only that’s okay. If not, we can come up with a nickname or something.”
You shake your head. You’ve kept your name to yourself, and you wonder if your pain-induced haze, if he’s ever asked you for it. You stretch your lips, and wet your tongue. “Did you ever ask for it,” you hold the words on your tongue, and they are heavy like wine, “when I was in and out?”
“Yes,” he confesses. “You wouldn’t answer.”
A name given by Heaven; whispered to you gently in the arms of Father, as sunlight shined down upon you and warmth surrounded you in your creation. It’s silly, and childish to cling to it, to hold onto it like a child holds onto their blanket, but it’s all that you have left. Everything else was stripped from you, taken and tossed aside, and you wonder if your name even holds any significance back home. 
You turn to Lucifer, and your name is heavy on your tongue, bitter like wine, and it’s your name, fitting you like a glove that will fit no other. 
Lucifer repeats your name, whispering it under his breath, tasting it between his canines and tongue, and you watch him. Chills run down your spine, and the feeling is not unpleasant. He catches your eyes, and his cheeks flush, the red spots darkening, under your gaze. He calls your name once more, louder and clearer, want held between the vowels, as if to savor your name, to savor what you’ve given to him. 
You nod, your chest aflame, as if you’ve done something scandalous. You can’t trust your voice, not when he's looking at you. Your knuckles feel as if it’s on pins, tingling and having you scratch against the bowl. 
He glances at your lap. “Are you done?” 
“Yes,” you breathe out rather quickly. 
He reaches for the bowl, grabbing it by the rim and stands from his chair. You watch in silence as he pushes the chair back, letting it block one of the drawers from the nightstand. The bowl clinks against the mahogany of the dresser, and he grabs the books, flush against his chest. 
“I hadn’t meant to leave the books so far from you,” he says, placing them on the nightstand. “They’ll be closer within your reach.” You nod, and peek over, reading the title of the first book. “I’ll be back in a few hours, if you need anything, feel free to call out. I’ll make sure to hear it.”
He walks away, his heels clicking against the floor, and you don’t want to be alone anymore. “Lucifer,” you call out, fisting the blankets in your hand. He turns around, pressing the bowl against his body, his hand wrapped tight around the doorknob, already opening it and stepping into the rest of his domain. You swallow nothing, and try not to think of anything other than gratitude.  “Thank you for everything,” you tell him, sending him a thinned smile. 
“Of course,” he calls your name in a sweet tone. “Whatever you need, just let me know.”
The door closes shut, and you let out a breath. Your hands fist at your shirt, grasping and you bite the inner corners of your lips, feeling the soft flesh of it be pierced by your teeth. It’s been far too long since you’ve had a gentle hand, since you’ve had someone be gentle with you. A hand reaches out and scratches along your bicep, pulling the skin and leaving soft arches across. 
You hadn’t realized how much you would miss Adam.

A part 3 to this
(I mean I didn't expect to make this a little thing but you guys seem to want it 🙂 So I don't mind carrying on this little AU story I've got going on)
Sebastian out of Azkaban
It had been close to 3 months now, since Sebastian had been staying with Garreth. He was feeling some normality in himself again, thanks to Garreths aid, and was back on his feet. Garreth sat at his dining room table, enjoying the morning sun coming through the window, Sebastian wandered downstairs after getting ready, Garreth looked over at him.
Garreth: Morning! *smiles*
Sebastian: *small smile* Hey.
Sebastian wandered over and sat at the table with Garreth, also turning his head to take in the sun and sighed.
Sebastian: I feel good for the first time in a long time..
Garreth: Thats great, Pal *warm grin*
Sebastian: Thank you, Weasley. Again, I don't know what to do to make it up to you.
Garreth: Naah, you don't have to thank me, and you don't have to do anything *smiles* Got everything I need, I was happy to help you. You're my friend.
Sebastian: *smiles* It means alot, truly.
The two sat for a moment, Garreth narrowed his eyes slightly at Sebastian, leaning forward in his chair.
Garreth: Are you ready to talk more about Ominis?
Sebastian ears perked up just hearing his name. this journey that Garreth had taken him on made him do a lot of thinking, he'd forgiven, and he felt some peace, and understood why Ominis and MC did what they did, though it was hard.
Sebastian: I think I am..You havnt told me much.
Garreth: I thought it would be too painful..
Sebastian: It would have been, but I'm ready.
Garreth: Well..I havnt seen him in a while, but we keep in touch. He doesn't live too locally anymore, not far though. And he doesn't know you're here, but he knows you're out of Azkaban. He wrote about it in his last letter to me.
Sebastian: ....I see. I hope he doesn't hate me..
Garreth: He definitely doesn't hate you, Ominis really struggled, Sebastian. After you got sent away, he wasn't himself. He hated it, but he knew it was the right thing to do for YOUR own benefit, do you understand?
Sebastian: I do..I do NOW anyway..It was awful in there..But, I think I needed it, Dark magic was taking over my mind, my soul, everything *sigh* I was angry and clouded when I first got out, wanted to find him, of course after I tried to find Anne first, the night you found me outside that bar, I'd just been drinking, after discovering she'd died...
Garreth: *nods his head in sympathy* I've wanted to talk to you about all this stuff..But my main focus was just getting you normal and stabilised, I didn't want to bring up anything that may have caused pain, and you never said anything, so I left it be.
Sebastian: I know, and I appreciate that. I just hope Anne knows, wherever her soul is, how sorry I am.
Garreth: I'm sure she does, mate. *warm smile*
Sebastian: Yeah *sits for a moment* So, Ominis? Married? Kids? How is he?
Garreth: He's good, lives a nice peaceful life, not married, no kids, but he's happy.
Sebastian: I'm glad he's happy. I'd love to see him.
Garreth: Well..When I last sent him a letter, I asked if he'd like to meet, he's going to be in the gardens in Hogsmeade later today, that's where I told him to meet me..Are you truly ready Sebastian? Have you forgiven?
Sebastian: Yes, I have, honestly! Oh my god *big genuine smile* I've, missed him, so much.
Garreth: Then we'll go together, Leanders coming too, but me and him will wait at The Three Broomsticks while you go and get Ominis, yeah?
Sebastian: *smiles and nods his head*
Garreth: I can trust you, right? You really are OK?
Sebastian: Gaz, you've helped me massively, I really am..I'm ok. *thankful smile*
Garreth: *warm grin* Good..
Later that day, after giving Sebastian a pat on the back, Garreth and Leander made their way to the Three Broomsticks from the town centre, as Sebastian wandered towards the gardens his heart was in his throat seeing his old friend, Ominis sat there on a Bench under a tree, looking prim and proper as always, Sebastian couldn't believe it, he was so overwhelmed with emotion seeing Ominis, his lip was shaking as he approached, standing in front of him. Ominis looked up, knowing a presence was there.
Ominis: *smiles* Garreth?
Sebastian: ....
Ominis: Garreth? Is that you? *stands*
Sebastian: Ominis..
Ominis let out a small sharp gasp, both of them frozen solid for a moment, before Ominis reached out, his breathing shakey as he felt Sebastians face, Sebastian looked at him, a tear falling down his cheek.
Ominis: S-Sebastian?
Sebastian: *sniffles* Ominis.
Tears started to stream down Ominis's face as he grabbed Sebastians' shoulders.
Ominis: Sebastian, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Sebastian: *starts crying himself, pulling Ominis in for a hug* It doesn't matter anymore, it's ok..
Ominis: It..Its no OK..It was never OK *hugging him back* Oh Sebastian *cries more, holding his old friend*
Sebastian: Ominis *clinging to him* It's so good to see you again.
The pair sat on the bench for a while, chatting. Sebastian told Ominis everything that Garreth had done for him and his emotional journey.
Ominis: *sigh* Garreth is an angel for that.
Sebastian: Really is, heh. Oh God, I'm so happy to see you. You look so well..I'm glad you can't see me *chuckles* I aged like damn milk in that place, you've aged like a fine wine.
Ominis: *chuckles* Oh shush..Sebastian, I can't tell you how happy I am, I'm so glad you've forgiven me for the decision I made, because I never truly forgave myself for doing that.
Sebastian: The past is the past, I just want to look forward now *smiles*
Ominis: As do I, old friend *smiles*

In hindsight, you should have told Chan that you wanted to have a more low-key celebration. Maybe at a nice, quiet restaurant. Or even movies and ice cream. Things, you're now realizing, that you'd do with Minho whenever something good happened in your lives. Minho passed an English test? Ice cream. You nailed a particularly difficult dance routine? Lunch at a restaurant you like. The two of you got into your dream school? Celebratory trip to Lotte World.
Chan, on the other hand, appeared to like more flashy forms of celebration. He brought you to a bar, which you might as well consider to be a club. The music is way too loud, you can feel the beats in your chest. The lights are too dark to be considered safe. And while you weren't opposed to the idea of hanging out in a bar, you work at one and don't like the idea of spending your night off with drunken idiots after a week of doing so.
"Sorry, what was that?" You shout over the music. Chan has been trying to hold a conversation with you but you can't hear him over the music.
Changbin, who sits on your left, is making out with some girl he met within the first 10 minutes of you guys getting to the bar. Jisung is at the bar, talking to two girls who look like they're already too drunk to be having any sort of meaningful conversation. Chan brought them along so it would feel "more like a celebration." Right now it just feels like another pointless party.
Chan's arm snakes around your waist, resting his hand on your upper thigh. He pulls himself closer to you than he already is. The scent of his cologne and the soda he is drinking fills your nose. He smells good, familiar. Like the practice room after class as all the guys quickly spray themselves before leaving. But something is missing.
"I was just asking if you knew which offer you were going to take yet?" Chan lowers his head so he's talking directly in your ear.
"Not sure yet," You lean in close to his ear, "I have to sit there and think about each company. Plus looking at how much they're offering me wouldn't hurt. I still have a few months before graduation so there isn't a huge rush right now."
Chan pushes your drink closer to you. Chan is the only one not drinking, taking his responsibilities as designated driver seriously. But as a result, he's been pushing you to drink. So that you can "drink for the two of you" so to speak. You take your cup and take another large sip.
"If you choose the one in Australia, I can show you around. Like your own personal tour guide." He adds after you take a sip.
"Yeah? Show me your old haunts? And then to one of your infamous hook-up spots." You tease.
"I'm not like that Y/n. Honestly," He takes another sip of his soda, "you should have a bit more faith in me."
"You told me not too long ago that you were purposely blasting your music to get my attention. So, I have zero faith in you."
"Did it, or did it not work?" He asks after thinking for a moment.
"Running into me on a girls' night out while I was plastered worked. You playing your music that loud worked in getting through my auditions."
"Still, it worked because here you are." You think to yourself for a moment. He's not exactly wrong.
"Changbin hyung, come up for air!" Jisung says as he walks to the table with the two girls in tow. He sets down about 10 bottles of soju before sitting down in between both girls.
"Why!" Changbin whines loudly, making the girl he's making out with laugh.
"It's a celebration, let's play some drinking games." He adds as he passes out the bottles. Chan takes the bottle Jisung passed to him and places it in front of you.
"I'm driving," He tells Jisung.
"That's fine, just keep drinking your stupid soda." He throws back. He has to be a little drunk, you know he wouldn't talk to Chan like that otherwise out of fear of repercussions.
"Or noona can drink for him," Changbin adds. Chan turns to you with quirked eyebrows.
"Don't worry, I'm good at drinking games. Plus, I'm the only sober one here so I have an advantage."
You think for a moment. He is the only one who is completely clear-headed right now, even if you're feeling a bit buzzed. You probably wouldn't have to drink much anyway, you're relatively good at games in general.
"Yeah, okay," You hum.
***
It doesn't that Chan is good at playing drinking games, you are the absolute worst. You're beyond drunk and you're about to get drunk as you watch the shot glass of soju sink to the bottom of the beer glass.
"Drink, noona, drink!" Jisung yells as he slams a fist on the table.
"Wow, noona, you suck at drinking games." Changbin laughs as you pick up the glass and start drinking.
You're so drunk you can't hear a single thought in your head. It's like your conscience clocked out for the night and you were alone with your impulsive thoughts. You're leaning into Chan with your right hand resting on his thigh to keep yourself upright.
"'m shit a drinking games but I can out dance all of you. Let's have a dance battle right now!" You shout, standing up quickly. You immediately stumble from how fast you stand up and fall back down, landing in Chan's lap.
"Okay, I'm going to take Y/n for some fresh air," Chan says as he places both of his hands on your waist to help you up. He keeps his hands on you as he leads you out of the bar.
His grip on you is tight as he maneuvers you through the bar, past all the couples making out and hammered dancers. Eventually, the cool, fresh air hits your face, a sigh leaves your throat. You didn't realize how hot and stuffy it was inside the bar until right now. You were hot when you were inside, naturally, but you thought it was just the alcohol warming you up.
"Look at the moon!" You shout excited when you get outside. The moon is big and full.
"Wow, you really are drunk, huh." Chan laughs, still holding on to you.
"'m not drunk." You hum, twirling around in Chan's hands.
"I don't see how you're not. You drank about 5 bottles of soju by yourself. How you're still awake right now is a miracle."
"'m not a lightweight. Look, I can prove I'm not drunk." You wiggle out of Chan's grip and walk a little bit away from him.
You wink at Chan before managing to do 6 pirouettes. Just as you put your foot down to stabilize yourself again, you become dizzy and stumble. Before you can fall, you're suddenly in Chan's arms again. It feels nice, to be held in his arms, but it feels cold and unfamiliar. Not like Minho's warm and familiar hold.
"Okay, I believe you. Let's not do that again, okay?" He chuckles as he pulls you upright.
He walks you backward until your back is flat against the wall. Your head is still spinning so you grab his forearms to keep yourself from falling. As if it would help. You squeeze your eyes shut, slowly opening them only when you feel a little less dizzy. Your eyes focus on Chan's face illuminated by the back alley lights. On his hooded, yet soft brown eyes. The curve of his perfect nose. His soft pink lips.
"Has anyone told you that you're pretty?" You breathe.
"You think I'm...pretty?" Chan's mouth quirks upward into a smirk.
"Mhm!" You nod quickly at him.
Chan's hands leave your waist and move to the wall behind you, resting on either side of your head. He leans in closer to you, only stopping about halfway to your face.
"Am I still pretty?" He whispers. If your face isn't already red from drinking, it definitely is now.
Your breath gets caught in your throat. All you can do is nod in agreement. Chan smirks yet again and pulls in even closer. He's right in front of your face, his breath tickling your face.
"How about now?" His lips barely brush against yours.
"If...you get any closer 'm gonna get cross-eyed." You mumble.
"Is that a promise?" He whispers before pressing his lips into yours.
The sudden feel of Chan's lips on yours sobers you up a little bit. It's not unfamiliar, you've kissed him before under similar circumstances. You're drunk and heartbroken just like you were the first time. The only difference is, Chan's not drunk. Maybe he wasn't drunk the first time either. But something about this time feels...different. His lips are just as soft and desperate as you remember but they feel wrong. This feels wrong.
Chan's hands drop from the wall back down to your waist, slightly lifting your shirt. His touch feels hot against your skin, burning you almost. Chan pulls away from your lips and attaches himself to your neck, nipping at the soft skin and sucking. He slides one hand down, his thumb toying with the waistband of our jeans. His other hand moves to the small of your back. Each act seemingly wakes you up slowly, his touch still burning your skin.
Wrong. This is all wrong.
"Channie...stop," You whisper, trying to push him off.
"Hmm...?" He hums against your skin as he moves down to your collarbone.
"Chan, please stop."
"Why?"
You're not sure if it's your natural fight-or-flight instinct or something else entirely, but you can't stop yourself as your right knee quickly jerks upwards. Chan quickly pulls away from you and doubles over. You wipe your mouth with the back of your hand, trying to process everything that happened.
"What the fuck, Y/n?" Chan turns back to you, holding his stomach. You must have missed, but you still hit him hard enough.
"I told you to stop!"
"If you waited 2 seconds, I was going to." He grits through his teeth.
"You should have stopped the first time. This isn't...it's...you're not--" You stammer trying to find the right words. As you do, Minho's face pops into your head.
"I'm not who?"
You squeeze your eyes shut and shake your head. Nothing is making sense. You didn't exactly hate Chan's touch or kiss. And you were starting to enjoy the night with Chan. And normally, drunk or not, you would have simply gone along with Chan, no matter how disgusting the back alley of the bar is. So why are you thinking about Minho?
"Are you serious, Y/n? You're thinking about him? Right now?" Chan scoffs, finally standing upright.
"I--I'm not!" You lie.
"Y/n, it's been months. He doesn't give a single fuck about you. Never has, never will. While you're rejecting the guy who's right in front of you, he's probably out fucking some girl he doesn't know the name of."
"Minho isn't like that." You shake your head again. Minho isn't like that.
Sure he can be cold at times, but that's when he's trying to hide how he's really feeling. He's the type of person who will drive down to your job at three in the morning, even after a day of classes and a full work shift just to make sure you get home safely. Sure, he'll complain about it the whole time, but you know he doesn't mean it. He's the type of person who will spend hours cooking you a meal he's never made before because you mentioned it once. He's the type of person who will give you his last pudding cup if you ask. And if you didn't he'd give you the first and last bite. He's the type of person who will learn your entire dance routine to help you figure out the one part you're struggling with. He's the type of person who will stay home with you when you're sick just so you're not alone. He's the type of person who cares. Always has been, and always will be.
"You really are fucking pathetic. You know that, right?" Chan says, cooly.
"What...?" Your breath escapes your throat, unsure where this new version of Chan is coming from. Your head swirling in confusion.
"I tried being nice. I tried being patient but there's no point. You're forever going to be hung up on a guy who doesn't care for you anymore. And I'm right here. Hell Changbin and Jisung are probably in line waiting for me to be done with you. But you know what? You're not worth it." Chan laughs.
"I...I don't understand. What's happening right now?" You rub your hands over your face as if that will help you sober up faster.
"You don't understand?" Chan walks closer to you, keeping his distance this time just in case. "Princess, I was only being nice to you so I could sleep with you. And I was going to toss you aside when I was done. But you're not worth all that effort. It's not fun anymore. You're all looks and no substance. I've fucked bimbos with more personality than you. And they're not still hung up over their--Well I'd say ex but you guys weren't even together."
"You're a dick," You spit.
"Maybe, but it's all good fun." He smirks. You've never wanted to hit someone more in your entire life
"Take me home, now." You quietly demand.
"Find a new way home. I'm going back inside to have some more fun." Chan leaves you standing there in disbelief in the alley, confused as to what just happened.
You hate to admit it, but he's right. Not entirely, but he's right. You are pathetic. You're hung up over a guy who would rather let you walk out of his life than be with you. You're holding out hope, for what? That one day he'll wake up and take everything back? Would you even go to him if he did? You're wasting time on him when you could be happier with someone who would be happy to be with you without any fear.
You crouch down to the floor, hugging your knees to your chest. Today, you were meant to celebrate you and your accomplishments. Now, it's a complete shitshow and you can't help but wish Minho was there to comfort you. To stroke your hair and tell you how proud of you he is. To hug you and make you feel better. To make some dumb joke that would make you giggle. You need him, and you hate that you do. Hate that you allowed him to consume so much of your life. Even if Chan wasn't being a total asshat, you know that you would have pushed him away anyway for the simple fact that he's not Minho nor will he ever be. And for that, you hate yourself a little too.
***
"Ugh..." You groan as you wake up. Your head is pounding and the room is spinning. You can't even bear to open your eyes, scared of the light that you know is awaiting to burn your retinas the second you open them.
You lay there in silence for a moment, letting the cool air hit your face. You furrow your brows in confusion. Ma-Ri likes the room to be warm, so why is it ice cold? You slowly open your eyes, trying to minimize the burning sensation you know you're going to feel from the sunlight.
You blink a few times, allowing your eyes to adjust to the light. Still, with your eyes barely open, you look around the room. Everything begins to look familiar. The pictures on the walls. The hoodie slung over the desk chair. The organized mess on the dresser.
"What the hell...?" You mutter as you sit up.
You're in your room back at Minho's apartment. You're not entirely sure how or when you go here. The last thing you remember is arguing with Chan in the back alley of the bar.
"Whoever this is, you better be dying."
"I hate you,"
"Y/n?"
"I really, really hate you. You keep ruining everything for me. Why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Y/n, where are you right now?"
"I wish I never fell in love with you. I wish...I wish we never became friends in the first place"
"We'll talk about that later. Just tell me where--"
Click.
That's right, you called Minho last night while in your drunken state. He must have gotten worried and came to pick you up. Why he brought you back to the apartment and not the dorm is beyond you. You're not even sure how he got you home. If you called him just to tell him that you hate him, there's no way you willingly went home with him.
"Minho, put me down!"
"So you can be a brat and run away? No thank you,"
"Put me down, put me down, put me down!"
"Jesus, you're loud as hell-- Ow! Did you just bite my back?"
"Put. Me. Down!"
"You're never allowed to drink again."
...He carried you home like a sack of potatoes because you refused to go with him. You sit up and hold your head in your hand out of embarrassment. He came all the way to you in the middle of the night to take you home, and you acted like a brat.
"I'm never drinking again," you groan, regretting everything that happened last night, even the stuff you can't remember.
You slowly swing your legs over the side of your bed. Immediately, as you start to get up, you notice something is off. You look down at your clothes and notice you’re wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts.
“C’mon, put your arms up,” 
“I’m sorry,”
“You don’t have to be sorry. I shouldn’t have been carrying you like that.”
“Yeah, but I threw up! That’s not cute,”
“You threw up and you’re worried about looking cute?”
“Don’t laugh at me, asshole.”
“Okay, okay. Here, put your shorts on yourself, I’ll go get you a toothbrush and some mouthwash.”
If there was ever a moment for a whole to open up and swallow you whole, now would be the time. Why, why did you have to call Minho? For all you know, he thinks you're spiraling even though you've been doing just fine without him. He had to come to your rescue on your one off day.
You slowly walk over to your closet to find something to walk home in. If you're quiet enough, you might be able to leave without running into Minho or the cats. You know that if you run in Soonie, Doongie, or Dori, you're going to want to stay and cuddle with them. Hopefully, they're sleeping in Minho's room with him. In your closet, you find your favorite pair of sweatpants and and the matching hoodie. You grab a random shirt and get dressed as quickly as the pounding in your head will allow.
After you get dressed, you scan the room, looking for your phone, student ID, and key to Ma-Ri's dorm. You find them on your bedside table. Your phone is charging and faced down with your ID in the case and key attached to the case. Sitting right next to your things, a bottle of water and two aspirins. You let out a deep sigh and take the pills, silently thanking MInho.
You take the bottle of water with you as you quietly leave the room, looking back one last time to see if there is anything you want to take back with you. Your eyes fall on your half of the seashell necklace at your desk. You contemplate taking it for a moment, before closing your door. You slowly close the door, being careful to not make too much noise. Once you turn around, you lock eyes with Doongie, who is sitting on the arm of the couch,
"Fuck," you mutter under your breath.
Doongie hops off the arm of the chair and walks towards you. Doonige begins to purr as he walks between your legs, pressing his body against you. You bite your bottom lip and look up at the ceiling. There is nothing more that you want to do than to pick him up and hug him. But you know you can't you don't have time. Soonie and Dori come from their hiding places and start meowing at you, being more vocal than you remember them being.
"I know, I know. I miss you too but I really need you guys to--"
"Guys, I know you're excited but mom needs to--Oh, you're awake. Minho walks into the living room in an apron, holding a wooden spoon. The front of his hair is up in a ponytail with one of your clips that he stole. Stole is too aggressive. You clipped his bangs up for him during a dance practice because it was frustrating him and he never gave it back.
"I...I am. Thank you for picking me up...and taking care of me. I need to get going." You say quickly, averting your eyes.
"Wait, don't leave yet. I made you haejang-guk." He says quickly, putting his hands up as you start to walk away.
"You made me haejang-guk?" Your head tilts to the side.
"I figured you could use something in your stomach after last night. Eat some before you run away again."
Ba dump. Ba dump.
The idea of Minho waking up early just to make you hangover soup makes your heart skip a beat. It's not a complicated recipe, a fairly simple one. But you also know that when Minho cooks for someone, it's a labor of love. And for that, your heart is a little hopeful.
"Yeah, sure," You nod.
The two of you quietly walk to the dining room. You sit in your usual spot like usual, not thinking much of it until Minho freezes for a second, staring at you with a small smile as he brings you out a bowl of soup. You silently thank him and wait for him to come back with his own bowl out of habit. Once he's back, he gestures for you to start eating.
You pick up the spoon and blow on it for a second before putting the cooled spoon in your mouth. The saltiness of the soup hits your tongue, quickly ridding your mouth of that nauseating bitter aftertaste you were starting to notice. The heat from the soup starts to warm up your body. It's hard to explain, but Minho's cooking reminds you of home. His cooking tastes nothing like your mother's, but it feels like home. You're more homesick for him than you are for your parents.
"How's your head?" He asks, breaking the silence.
"Better," You take another spoonful of soup and quickly swallow/ "Thanks for the aspirin."
"No need to thank me. I know how cranky you can get when you're not feeling well. I did it for Ma-Ri's sake." He teases.
It feels almost normal, sitting here eating breakfast with Minho. Like you haven't been ignoring him for the past couple of months. Going home for the holidays was difficult. You two almost got into a fight on Christmas morning in front of your parents when you opened one of your gifts from Minho to find your half of the scallop shell made into a necklace. And now the two of you are being civil as you eat soup. Maybe you're too tired and hungover to fight right now.
"I have a question," Minho asks again.
"What?"
"How does Ma-Ri sleep with your snoring?"
"I don't snore. You know I don't snore."
"Must be new. You were snoring last night." Miho smirks.
"How would you know that I was snoring last ni--"
"Minho, wait,"
"What's wrong?"
"Can you stay with me?"
"I don't know that's a good idea."
"Please?"
"Y/n,"
"What...What if I throw up again? I could asphyxiant."
"Don't roll over then. I put you on your side for a reason."
"Minho, please. Just this once."
"...Fine. But only until you fall asleep."
Seriously, you're never drinking again. You put your spoon down and hold your head in your hands just as Minho starts laughing. You let out a pained groan at your stupidity. How could drunk you abandon your morals like that?
"I probably only snored because I was so drunk." You mumble as you pick your spon back up and start to eat your soup again.
"Surn,"
"Minho," You set your hand on the table, "Why are you being nice to me?"
"We'll talk after breakfast," He says quickly.
"I'm going home after I finish eating." You watch as Minho's face slightly twists when you say home because he knows you don't mean the apartment.
You watch as Minho's eyes shift up like they normally do when he's thinking. Like the thoughts are written on his brain and he is trying to physically see it. Cute.
"Y/n," He says suddenly.
"Yes?" You quirk your eyebrow at him.
"Let's talk," He places his spoon down on the table.
"Are we not already talking?"
"No--I mean yes, we are--but that's not what I mean." You watch in confusion as Minho starts to get flustered.
"Min?"
"None of this is how I planned it but something tells me that I'm not going to get another choice."
"Another chance for what?"
"Y/n," Minho sits up a little straighter in his seat. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for telling you that we should pretend that we had a one-night stand after we slept together. I'm sorry for being a coward for all these years and hiding my feelings from you. And I'm sorry--"
"Min, breathe." You say as Minho speaks fast, not taking a single breath.
"Sorry, it's just-- I love you, Y/n. I am truly, madly, deeply in love with you. And these past couple of months without you have been hell. I need you in my life. And I want to be with you, and I mean really be with you. Even if it scares me. Especially if it does." Minho stares at you, maintaining eye contact with you. There's a twinkle in his eyes, determination maybe.
The two of you sit in silence for a moment. Minho waits for your response, feeling as if he's said everything I was able to. You, on the other hand, process everything that just happened. You can't help but let out a small laugh.
"Why...are you laughing?" Minho asks, his voice laced with concern and fear.
"Because you have shit timing." You explain as you set down your spoon.
"What do you mean?" He tilts his head as he stares at you.
"I love you too, and if you asked me months ago, I would have asked for this exact scenario."
"I need context, I can't guess. You know I’m not a mind reader."
“I’m not going the be here in a few months.” You say simply, unsure of how to explain. Or if you should even try to.
“Neither am I. We’re graduating.”
“No I mean,” You take a second to let out a sigh, “I don’t want to go back home and run the dance studio. That’s always been more your thing than mine. I want to travel and being in Japan last summer made me realize that. I spent most of the school year auditioning for overseas companies. And I got a few offers."
"Oh," Minho's expression drops to an unreadable one.
"And judging by that reaction, you're not going to be able to handle a long-distance relationship."
You pick up your bowl and quickly drink the rest of your soup. Once you're done, you use your spoon to scoop the leftover veggies from the soup and shove them in your mouth before quickly standing up. Soonie, Doongie, and Dori come out from under the table and follow you as you walk towards the front door.
"Y/n, wait! Let's talk about this." You hear Minho's chair fall to the floor as he quickly gets up and rushes to you.
"You've been so scared of me leaving all these years. Wouldn't me moving away after a little over 2 months of dating be the same thing for you? Can you honestly tell me that you wouldn't start panicking once I'm gone?" You turn back to face Minho, who is standing about three feet from you.
He stands there puzzled, unable to answer. Or, he knows the answer and is unwilling to share it with you. Both of you know deep down that it'd be difficult for him, that his fear would settle in and he'd up breaking up with you. Or maybe that's your own fear and it's just easier to project that onto him.
What's wrong with you? You've wanted nothing more than to date Minho since you two were 15. And now that he finally got over his fears, you shut it down. Maybe you were a little grateful over the years for not being with Minho. That being near him was enough. But now that the opportunity to be with him, fully and deeply, you're terrified. You've spent years making fun of Minho for being a coward, but at the end of the day, you're just like him.
"That's what I thought. Maybe it's better we stay friends." You open the door and hesitate leaving Minho for a second time. "I wish you had this epiphany sooner. Maybe we would have had a chance."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You pause the music and let out a frustrated groan. For some reason,y you can't nail one of the moves in your routine. It's making you want to rip all of your hair out. It's a simple move, you've done it before in other routines, but for some reason, you can't hit it now and it's pissing you off.
You don't look up when you hear the door to the practice room open, too focused on the dance tutorial on your phone, hoping to see if there is anything you can do differently to hit the move and call it for the day.
"I still have this room for another hour," You call out, not looking up to see who walked into the practice room.
Still focused on the video, you don't notice that the door doesn't open again. You don't notice the rapid footsteps that make their way to you. Nothing you feel two hands cup your face and lips press to yours. You freeze for a second, alarmed by the sudden touch until you see that it's Minho kissing you. Your eyes slowly close as your heart begins to pound in your chest. It's a simple kiss, not going past his lips touching your lips, but it's enough to make you melt into his touch. His calloused fingers rough against your skin. Your hands find their way to the front of his shirt, barely gripping the fabric between your fingers.
After what feels like an eternity, Minho finally pulls away. Your eyes remain closed, afraid of opening them and Minho disappearing. Your grip tightens on Minho's shirt as you slowly open your eyes. You blink a couple of times to make sure he's really there and you're not dreaming. With each blink, Minho's serious face stares back at you.
"What…what the fuck was that?" You whisper. Minho's simple kiss seems to have taken away your voice.
"I don't care," Minho says softly.
"Excuse me?" Your grip loosens on Minho's shirt.
"I don't care that you're leaving. Go, live your dream, I'll be here. I just want to be with you. And if that means I can't physically be with you, I'm okay with that. I did some thinking. I'm perfectly okay with being long-distance with you. I just want to be with you. I'm tired of being scared."
Minho's hopeful eyes, stare into your confused ones. Realization and hope settle into you the longer Minho is quiet. He means it, truly. You can tell. You've known him long enough to know that he does. You can feel his hands shake against your face in anticipation. Part of you wonders if he can feel your heart pounding. You can feel your heart banding against your ribcage in every inch of your body.
"I'm going to be living overseas." You whisper slowly.
"Did I break your brain?" Minho laughs, "I told you, I don't care. I can come visit you. Or, I can move with you. I can find work as a dance teacher anywhere."
You shake your head, gripping his shirt so tight you're almost certain that you're stretching out the soft blue cotton.
"No, taking over the studio back home is your dream. It always has been. I can't let you give that up." You say firmly.
"No, you're my dream. Always has and always will be. I wanted to run the dance studio with you because I wanted to be with you, not because I love the studio. As long as I'm near you, I'm happy. I don't care where we are."
Minho looks down with downcast eyes, slowly losing hope the longer you take to reply. You love him, with your whole body and soul. You want nothing more than to be with him, so why are you hesitating? You know you've always held a special place in Minho's heart. But how do you know that this isn't just his anxiety talking? What if you two start dating and he says that it was a mistake again? Like he did after you two slept together. How can you truly know that he loves you in the way that you love? The way that you want--no need?
"Y/n?" Minho whispers.
"Yeah?" You whisper back, closing your eyes.
"I first fell in love with you during Dream a Little Dream of Me." He says suddenly.
"My jazz solo from when we were twelve?" You cock your head to the side in confusion.
"It was your first dance solo. And you placed. First place to be exact."
"I remember,"
"Do you want to know what I remember?" Minho's hands slide down from your face down to your waists and just rest there.
"What?"
"I remember watching you struggle with the routine for weeks before the competition. Hell, I was worried, I thought you weren't going to nail it in time. You even refused my help and didn't hang out with me in our free time between school and our extracurriculars. I remember you getting yelled at by the instructor because you were struggling so much. And I remember you walking on that stage the day of the competition and I was in awe of you. I remember standing in the wings waiting for you, ready to comfort you just in case something went wrong. I remember that pale blue dress and the way it sparkled under the stage lights. I remember how gracefully you danced on stage and thinking you were just like a butterfly. I knew that I always wanted to be there to experience you in all your glory. I knew in that moment, you were it. You're still it for me, I don't want to be with anyone else."
You remember that competition. Jazz wasn't your strongest dance style but your coach had faith in you. You'd practice in all of your free time to make sure you got the routine down perfectly. As tiresome as it was, that was the same time you decided to take dance seriously and pursue it professionally.
"That…that was twelve years ago." Your voice cracks, tears welling in your eyes.
"I've loved you for twelve years. And I'll love you for twelve more. And twelve years after that. I'll love you in multiples of twelve for all of eternity. Until death do us part, and even then I'll still love you beyond death. Like I said, you're it for me."
You bite your bottom lip, the butterflies in your stomach doing somersaults. If he didn't feel your heart pounding before, he surely can hear it now. Something in you tells you to trust him. The same thing in you that's always told you to trust him, even when that trust was baseless.
"And you're it for me," You pull on Minho's shirt, bringing him closer to you. His lips crash into yours, you can feel his lips turn into a smile as you both decide to trust that everything is going to be alright.
Buy me a coffee?

Tumblr media
Laboured gasps and moans filtered out of the cracked bedroom door. Chan had you hiked up on his desk, your legs wrapped around his waist as he rocked into you.
‘Chan...’ You moaned out, breath hot on the skin of his neck. He leaned down and kissed you, biting your bottom lip.
‘Yeah baby?’
‘I-Felix!’ Chan halted his movements and tore himself away from you. He was about to unleash his anger at you calling his band mates name, but then he caught sight of your hunched over figure. Your hands bought to your chest in an attempt to cover yourself, and your eyes like saucers as you stared over at the door.
Chan turned to see what had startled you, and there stood Felix, eyes trained on you and making no attempt to move, almost as if he were in a trance.
‘Bro what the fuck are you doing!?’ Chan snarled out, voice going a few octaves higher than normal, as he leaned forward, trying to cover you up. Hearing Chan shout seemed to bring Felix back to reality. His cheeks lit up red as he ripped his eyes away from you, looking anywhere but at you.
‘I-I’m sorry! I didn’t mean-‘
‘Get out!’ Felix turned tail and ran, leaving the door open behind him.
You hid your face in your hands and groaned.
‘You ok?’ Chan gently stroked your arms.
‘Yeah. It’s just embarrassing. Why didn’t you lock the door?’
‘Sorry...’ He pulled you into a hug. ‘I was too caught up in the moment.’ You snorted at his words and pushed him away. Typical man.
‘Do you mind if we stop? I’m not really in the mood anymore.’
‘Of course baby.’ Chan pulled out of you, trying hard not to moan out as he did so.
‘I’m gonna go shower.’ You glanced at the door for a moment. ‘I think you should go speak to Felix, see if he’s ok.’ Chan sighed but agreed. That wouldn’t be an awkward conversation at all...
Tumblr media
Chan trudged down the hall to Felix’ room, not really looking forward to the following conversation.
‘Felix? Can I come in?’ He knocked and pushed open the door when he received no answer. He came face to face with Felix who was sat on his bed, head held tightly in his hands. Felix didn’t want to look at Chan.
‘Are you ok? You look more upset than we were.’ Chan laughed and went to sit next to his band mate.
‘I’m mortified!’ Felix cried out, finally looking up. ‘And Y/N probably thinks I’m a creep, just standing there watching.’ Chan couldn’t help but laugh. Him and Y/N were fine about the situation, it was only Felix who was upset. Felix glared at him as he laughed, and Chan cleared his throat, apologising.
‘Look. Y/N doesn’t think you’re a creep, she even sent me to make sure you’re ok.’
‘really?’ He looked up hopefully.
‘Yeah... If you don’t believe me ask her yourself.’ Chan patted Felix on the back and got up to leave, before a thought struck him, causing him to turn back.
‘By the way... Why did you just stop and stare?’ Felix once again blushed harshly and looked away.
‘I couldn’t help it...Y/N is just so beautiful I couldn’t look away...’ Felix was bracing for an earful from his leader, but it never came. Looking back, he saw Chan smiling.
‘Maybe you should tell her that. She’d really love to hear it.’ With that, he turned and left the room, leaving a confused Felix behind.
Tumblr media
A couple hours later, you sat on Chan’s bed, trying to get some work done, when a timid looking Felix knocked on the door.
‘Hey Y/N... Do you mind if we talk?’ You smiled and nodded, moving your papers to the side.
‘Sure Felix, sit down.’ You were lounged out on the bed, sitting against the headboard, so he did the same.
'I just wanted to say how sorry I am for earlier.’
‘Honestly don’t worry about it. It was just an accident.’
‘I just don’t want you thinking I’m some kind of creep or something...’ he trailed off, playing with his fingers.
‘Hey...’ You placed your hand on his shoulder, turning to fully face him.
‘I don’t think that. Did Chan say that?’ You furrowed your eyebrows. Surely he wouldn’t have, especially when you sent him to comfort the man.
‘No. It’s just my brain going into overdrive is all.’ He chuckled and you sighed in relief. Felix looked at your smiling face, and realised for the first time just how attracted he really was to you. He felt awful, considering you were Chan’s long term girlfriend, but should he just do what Chan had instructed him to do? He took a deep breath, trying to build himself up before speaking.
‘I’m sorry if this is strange, but you’re really beautiful.’ You’re face lit up with a smile, whilst he was blushing like mad
‘Really? You aren’t just saying that because you saw me with my legs spread?’ You teased, laughing when his eyes widened dramatically.
‘No! No, of course not! I-I, I’m gonna go. Before I can never show my face in the dorm again.’ He scrambled off the bed and out the room with out looking back
You smiled fondly as he retreated, what an interesting turn of events.
Tumblr media
As you lay in bed with Chan that night just about to sleep, he asked how your talk with Felix went.
‘Good, I think. He called me beautiful, then got all flustered and ran off.’ You giggled. Chan smirked. So his fellow Aussie had take his advice then.
‘Really? Maybe he’s interested in you.’ You rolled your eyes and pushed his shoulder.
‘Don’t say stupid stuff.’
‘I’m serious! Maybe we could invite him to join us some time?’ Chan asked, boldly. You stared at him, confused.
‘You mean like a threesome?’
‘Well more like me watching the two of you, if you’re ok with it.’ You didn’t speak, just played with the material of his short as you thought it over.
‘If you’re not comfortable, we can just pretend I never bought it up.’ He stroked your cheek fondly, pushing some stray hair out of your face.
‘I never knew you were into that kind of stuff.’ You whispered, hand resting on his neck.
‘I guess I’ve never had a reason to bring it up.’ He chuckled lightly. ‘So? What do you think?’ He was looking at you hopefully. You could tell this was something he was really excited for. The more you thought about it, it did seem thrilling, and you could think of far worse choices than Felix. You both trusted him, plus he was kind, not to mention super hot...
‘Fine. But you are going to be the one to ask him!’
Tumblr media
It had been a few days since your conversation with Chan. All the boys had been busy with work, so he had yet to talk with Felix, but that would change tonight. After today they all had a few days off, so now was the perfect time to ask.
‘Hey Felix? You got a sec?’ Felic looked up from his keyboard and nodded, gesturing for Chan to entre his room.
‘Everything ok?’
‘Yeah. Just an idea I want to propose to you.’ Felix frowned, but nodded along.
‘I’ll cut to the chase.’ Chan spoke confidently, letting Felix know he was serious.
‘I want you to fuck Y/N whilst I watch.’ Felix couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. Had he heard it correctly? The way Chan was sat there staring, with an unreadable expression, had him questioning his own hearing. Felix opened his mouth to speak, but found no sound would come out.
‘Y/N is down for it too. If you’re in, we can plan a time in the next couple days.’ Felix just stared, shocked.
‘How are you so calm whilst discussing me screwing your girlfriend?’ Chan started laughing, only causing more confusion for poor Felix.
‘Maybe it’s a kink? I dunno, call it what you want, but I’ve had fantasies about watching her with another man for the longest time.'
'Well, w-where would we go? I don’t want the other guys to be suspicious...’ Chan smirked, knowing he was breaking through the younger mans defences.
‘Y/N lives alone in her apartment, so we wont have to worry about interruptions.’ Felix nodded and looked down, thinking it over. Chan could see he was still apprehensive.
‘If you don’t want to then don’t feel pressured.’
‘It’s not that.’ Felix sighed. ‘I’m just worried about this affecting my friendship with you and Y/N...’ Over the course of your relationship with Chan, you had become close with all the boys, but you and Felix shared a lot of common interests, so he didn’t want to loose a close friend.
‘Look, just come to Y/N’s apartment. We’ll all talk, even get food and drinks, and if everyone isn’t 100% on board by the end of the night, then we call the whole thing off, ok?’ Chan really wanted this to work out, but the last thing he wanted was to make either you or Felix feel uncomfortable or pressured.
The more Felix thought it over, the more he was into the idea. It wouldn’t hurt to go and see what happens right?
‘Ok. I’m in.’

Y/n wasn't pissed when he got caught by the 141, but he had no intentions on letting them get any information out of him. 
They didn't plan on treating him nice when they wanted information either, so he opted to stay silent the entire time. 
Of course, this led to him getting plummeted by the man with the skull mask but Y/n didn't even bother flinching at the pain. He stared at the man deep in the eyes and just smiled. The man just glared at him angrily and sighed before leaving the room. 
Y/n hardly registered where his knife had pierced through his skin but barely paid attention to it as he wondered who they would send in next.
The masked man was the third of the four to come into the place they were holding Y/n, not that he was concerned but eventually he would have to get out of here and report back to his own superiors...soon.
While lost in his own thoughts, Y/n didn't hear the door open again as the black male stepped into the room.
"I'm surprised Ghost didn't crack you… He usually scares the shit out of anyone" he chuckled out, finally gaining Y/n's attention as he whipped his head up to look at the man standing before him.
Y/n stared at him with blank eyes before letting his own eyes scan over the man's features. Y/n couldn't help but smile at the attractive snack in front of him. 
The thin little hips were making him go wild, those sharp beautiful browns gazed into his very soul, the perfect height, and his voice… Damn he wanted to rail the very being out of the young Brit. 
The male stared at him in confusion before sighing and walking up to him and pulling Y/n by his collar harshly to look at him.
"You have information that we need. No point to keep it to yourself..." he growled out while pressing deep into the bullet wound in his thigh making Y/n smile even more at his eagerness as the pain spread through his body like a wildfire. 
It was cute to watch him, honestly. So why not toy with him a bit more?
"I didn't know the 141 kept such beauties around..." a knife was now going through the same thigh he had gotten shot in but he continued to ignore it as he watched the black male look at him, a much more pissed expression now painting his face.
"I don't think to realize just how fucked you are... so I suggest you either cooperate or we'll have to do things the hard way," he pulled his hair back this time, hard as Y/n just laughed at him.
"Oh don't worry, I'm already halfway there... in the meantime, why don't you tell me your name, cutie?"
The hit to the ribs made him cough up blood, but he still smiled up at the man.
Y/n really did want to know his name, he was damn near gorgeous to look at.
"You're disgusting...you know that?"
Y/n laughed more as he coughed up even more blood than before.
"Well it's hard to not be when I got a beautiful specimen standing in front of me... and I know you want me-"
The punch to his jaw was definitely going to sting for some time but Y/n didn't mind... the beauty in front of him could do whatever he liked as far as he was concerned.
The male walked out the room angry, slamming the door as he stormed out to his team.
"Any progress, Gaz?" Soap asked him.
"He spoke...but he's weird. It's like he doesn't even register pain-"
"HE SPOKE?! Not even Ghost could make him talk, mate!" The Scottish man said in surprise.
"Yeah, but he keeps calling me a beauty and everything... Are you sure he never said to the rest of you?"
"Nope, you're the first... Oh, we also got a name now for him... Y/n."
Gaz sighed and nodded before making his way back into where they were holding... Y/n.
The man looked the same as he left him, bloody and beaten but still smiling up at him.
"Hey, Beautiful... Miss me?"
Gaz was going to be honest, Y/n still looked too damn good considering the amount of scars and bruises they had left on him... it was partially unfair in his opinion.
"Shut up, Y/n..."
"Likewise, Gaz..." Y/n responded.
Gaz wasn't even mad that the man knew his codename, before grabbing his collar and kissing him fully on the lips.
Y/n looked surprised but continued fucking smiling at him regardless.
Gaz let himself get seated in the man's lap, and damn could he feel Y/n's member, as he continued to kiss him before groaning at not being able to get the man's shirt off.
"You're gonna have to let me out of these, Beautiful..." he shook his chains to make his point.
Gaz was going to say no, but at this point his mind was made up as he unlocked the chains they had put on Y/n's wrist.
With his wrist no longer chained, Y/n took Gaz into his arms and pulled him closer by his waist as his tongue breached Gaz's mouth.
The Sergeant cried against his mouth he felt the man squeeze his ass painfully as he tugged him even closer to his body.
Gaz quickly stripped himself of his gear, still keeping his gun and knife near, and doing the same with Y/n.
Surprisingly, Y/n was gentle with him, but Gaz didn't let his guard down despite the vast amount of pleasure he got from the man.
"You're tense, Beautiful... what makes you think I'd hurt you?"
"You're 2 times my size for one, now stop talking and fuck me," Gaz growled out again as he pulled Y/n into a deeper kiss this time.
Y/n was quick to listen as he quickly stripped Gaz himself and began to kiss down his chocolate skin slowly. Gaz let out soft moans as Y/n worked his way down his chest sinfully, looking up at Gaz each time making him turn away from his gaze and blush furiously.
As Gaz grasped and moaned from Y/n's skillful tongue, he finally managed to get a sentence out.
"Y-Y/n...fuck...eat me out n-now," he whined before turning onto his stomach and presenting his ass to their enemy.
Y/n watched in awe before picking Gaz up and laying him on the table so he could see his face.
"We are not fucking on the floor, Beautiful... You deserve better than that" Y/n said as he dropped to his knees and pulled Gaz to the edge of the table before lifting his legs up and letting his tongue swipe at the Sergeant delicious hole.
Gaz jumped at he cold and slimy feeling run over his hole before grabbing Y/n's head and pulling him closer. The man's tongue danced around his insides wildly as he ate out Gaz's sweet hole. It got even better when Y/n added in a finger to stretch him even more.
Gaz had to cover his mouth to hide his screams from the others as their prisoner rimmed him all too well.
He hated how good Y/n's tongue felt inside him, he hated how hot Y/n was, he hated his voice, his eyes, his everything. He hated how much he was enjoying this.
Gaz was sure one of the soldiers had already saw or heard them but would rather worry about it later, especially when Y/n stood up after loosening his hole more than ever.
Gaz hardly had enough energy to even lift himself up to look at Y/n before feeling something press against his hole.
The Sergeant shivered as he felt Y/n run his member over his hole even more, watching some of the pre-cum run down it as well.
It was menacing to even look at when Gaz saw it.
"You got any lube, Beautiful? I can't exactly go in raw..."
"G-Go find it yourself," Y/n stared at him still and he sighed, "first pocket on my vest..."
"Well aren't you naughty... I can only wonder who you'd keep this around for..."
Gaz only scoffed as he thought of a certain Leopardian-Arachnian that he knew as Y/n walked back over to him.
He squirted some back onto his hand before rubbing some on his dick before aligning himself with Gaz's hole.
Without warning, Y/n pushed in and waited while Gaz got use to his size.
Y/n gripped at his thighs tightly as the Sergeant tried his best to adjust while he tried his best not to move.
"Come on, Beautiful..." but the man was quickly shut up when Gaz tightened around him making Y/n groan quietly to himself.
"Just move dammit," he cried out as Y/n thrust into his vigorously.
Somehow, this man managed to his his prostate spot on, making the him scream before trying to regain focus himself.
Gaz hung on to Y/n's shoulders for dearly life when Y/n fucked him against the table before picking him up and fucking him into the wall.
The man's pace ruthlessly abused his prostate, even making the poor Sergeant hiccup ever so often.
Y/n kissed him deeply and Gaz couldn't even make himself hate it even if he wanted too. Their prisoner was doing so well that he could hardly keep up with his pace before coming himself on the wall.
Y/n was surprised and quickly pulled out of Gaz, making the man whine, before moving them to the chair with Y/n sitting down while Gaz straddled him.
Y/n didn't bother moving when he sat the Sergeant back on his member. He enjoyed watching him struggle to get some friction and he rolled his hips slowly.
"Y/n I fucking swear-"
"Fucking yourself on my dick and I'll give you the information you want."
Gaz's eyes opened in shock as he looked at the man he was supposed to be interrogating.
"You're lying-"
"I have no reason to lie to you, Beautiful, especially after this lovely treat you've already given me..." he thrusted up into him, making Gaz squirm in front of him as he put his hands out on Y/n's chest to steady himself.
"Fuck me..." was all Gaz said before using the last of his remaining strength to fuck himself on Y/n's cock, rolling his hips every now and then to relieve himself.
Gaz lifted his hands to Y/n's, grabbing them and leading them to rest on his ass before wrapping his own arms around Y/n's neck and grab his hair and pull him into a kiss.
Gaz's pace quickened as he bounced up and down on the man's cock before finally slamming himself back down and feeling Y/n feel him up.
The Sergeant gripped Y/n's scared shoulder as he looked at him and leaned in close just before their lips touched.
"You owe me that information, Y/n..."
Y/n, slightly annoyed that he didn't receive a kiss, obliged anyway.
"Let's redress at least-"
"Info. Now." He said sternly.
Y/n sighed but smiled and told him while trying to make each sentence as lengthy as possible, even adding extra information to make sure he stayed inside the Sergeant for as long as possible.
"Good boy," Gaz said as he watched Y/n face light up at the nickname.
"Why thank you, Beautif-"
Y/n groaned as Gaz decided to full unsheath himself from Y/n, watching the way some of his release slipped out of Gaz or was either still connected too Y/n member with a thin string.
Gaz huffed out a laugh as he tried to walk but ended up falling back on top of Y/n.
"Damn you..." Gaz said as his legs refused to work.
"You know you don't have to keep me in these chains, Beautiful... I'll tell you everything about the people I work for if you'll have me," Y/n grinned up at him, hoping he'd accept his offer.
"As lovely as that'd sound, I can't..."
Y/n looked at him in confusion before watching Gaz bring up one of his hands.
A simple silver band hugged his ring with a blue line going through it. He glared at it full of angst as he could only wonder who had claimed Gaz. As he did so the Sergeant on top of him chuckled a bit, before sitting up to look at him with a glint in his eye.
"So, ever heard of the C.L.A.W.S?"

That One's For You
Trevor Zegras x Singer!reader
Summary: The national anthem felt like the most boring part of the game for Trevor. That is until a certain someone surprises him.
Sneek peak: "Don't you have a team to get to? And a game to win?" His eyes widen and you laughed even more.
A/N: Honestly this fic gave me tooth ache from how sweet it was and I hadn't even written it.
You- I'm sorry I couldn't be here for you tonight, baby.
Babe🏒- Don't worry! You said your friends had planned this a while ago. You came to every other one. Don't stress it baby.
You- If you say so!❤ Good luck my lucky number 11!
Trevor Smiled at his screen and shut it off after liking your message. He still felt sad at the idea of not seeing you in the bleachers every few glance he would cast that way during the game. His long face got the attention of one of his team mate. "What's up Z? You look like a cat just died tortured in front of you." Trevor looked at him and cocked a brow. "That was weirdly specific. And... Y/N is not able to do it tonight so I'm kind of bummed." Explaining it made him realize that he was so whipped that it wasn't even funny. "Oh... don't worry. I'm sure she'll make it anyways." Trevor looked at his team mate like he was an alien. "Dude. She's not coming. Did you not just hear me?" "Yeah I heard you. But, you never know." Trevor decided to not engage in further confusion and got in the mindset for his game.
The players were called on the ice and everyone was standing in line waiting for the usual start of a game. Trevor looked down at the ice waiting in the most serious face ever. That which made him laugh. Once, you had said after his game that his serious face made you crack up because you never got to see him like this any other day. He was insulted at first that the idea of him being serious made you laugh. But as the time went on, he learned to love your teasing after each of his games.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ice our national anthem performer of the night. Y/N Y/L/N." Trevor looked up directly at the mention of your name and there you were. You wore a cute black blouse with some beige pants and your black heel boots. You looked so good. He wished you wore his jersey but he knows you need to be impartial while singing for the game. He smiled at you when you caught his eyes and you gave him the prettiest one back. "I told you." His team mate whispered in his ear. Trevor looked at him and subtly shoved him with a smile.
When you sang, your boyfriend closed his eyes and had the cutest grin plastered on his face. You never failed to amaze him. Your voice always made him fluster and proud. In his head the sentence replayed constantly: "That's my girl, Goddam!" He couldn't believe it. The national anthem came to an end and the players went to their side benches. You started to turn around but someone came crashing on you. At first you thought you would fall but you realized that that someone was hugging you. "You were so good baby. I love you." He kissed your temple. You turned around and took a better look at him. "You're handsome. I love you." He smiled at you and faked a frown. "I'm supposed to be the one giving you compliments here." You quickly pecked him and hushed your boyfriend. "I'll never miss one game. Ever." Trevor looked as if he could cry and gained back his composure quickly. "Thank you, baby." He stayed there looking at you and you laughed at him. "Don't you have a team to get to? And a game to win?" His eyes widen and you laughed even more. "Right. Okay. See you later. " he kissed you and skated off on the ice. You never could've asked for something better. Trevor was the guy you were waiting for all of your life and he wasn't about to leave. Your career wasn't the only thing that had succeeded.

Frenchie x F!reader // Our flag means death
set at the beginning of season two, implied situationship before
no warnings, fluff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Are you ok?” asked Frenchie seeing that you were still awake.
“Yeah, as far as I can be on this ship” you responded staring into the dark space. It was a bit cold and the only light was from few torches placed at the back of the ship. You weren't even scared of his sudden presence. Being on this ship was turning you numb. He sat next to you while looking at the ocean. He was so close. When you looked at him you thought he looked calm. So calm you were almost jealous. These last few weeks you spend anxiously avoiding rest of the crew and having sleepless nights.
“How are you? Is bottling up your feeling going great?” you almost hissed the last question but you couldn't stop yourself. You turned your head away from him.
After a moment of silence with the feeling of regret you looked at him. He didn't even move. Like what you just said didn't matter to him.
“I didn’t mean that” you whispered softly. When he looked at you, you felt like everything went quiet around you two.
Even with smudged black eyeshadow around his eyes he looked so pretty. Eye contact with Frenchie made you forget about the numbness you felt for the last few weeks.
“I’m doing okay” he smiled lightly for the first time since Blackbeard was back. When he smiled his eyes squinted a little. You smiled back at him.
“I didn't really see you around these few days”
“Yeah… I didn't want for Blackbeard to see us around. You know… since I'm the first mate now.”
You stared at him confused.
“But why? I'm not scared of him.” you chuckled.
“Because I don't want you to get hurt” he said quickly. His brows furrowed a little. Still not looking at you. You just sat there silently looking at him. He worries about you? You didn't want to assume anything. You're just his friend that's why.
“I could not control myself if something happened to you” “I would kill him”
“Don’t say that” you said. He looked at you. “I would” he said confidently. You just noticed how close you two were. Your arms were touching. Not sure what to do you rested your head on Frenchie’s shoulder.
“I worry about you too” you said honestly.
His arm wrapped around your waist pulling you even closer. The warmth of his chest was nice compared to the cold of the night. You heard waves crushing against the side of the ship. He worried about you. You didn't think that he cared but he did. You two were so close, he probably could hear how fast your heartbeat is.
“I love you” he whispered. You smiled and closed your eyes. A quiet whisper escaped your lips.
“I love you too”

Roast Chicken
The entire week had been pretty shit for Simon. A new group of recruits brought all kinds of new trouble, arrogance, and disobedience that higher-ups like him needed to wring out of the soldiers. Then about halfway through the week, Price informed him of some errors with the last round of paperwork. So, late-night tea time was spent huddled over his desk scrounging through stacks of documents till his eyes gave out on him.
And to top thing's off, the mini rec room shared between the squadron had a run-in with an ant infestation. Simon had planned to put a kettle on the stove when he rounded the corner and found Gaz spraying the bug killer along the floor.
"Oh hey! Sorry mate, looks like someone beat us to it this morning." Gaz stops to stomp on a few particularly stubborn ants hiding along the tile. "Woke up this morning to make a pot of coffee and the bastards were in the bloody coffee pot! I think I got most of them, but you might want to be careful, yeah? They were all over the counters earlier."
"Which counters?!" Simon's voice comes out harsher than intended, already fearing the worst. Sure enough, Gaz gestures along the far right counter. Simon nearly rips the handle off the cabinet while he's opening it. One look inside and the last bit of life in Simon's body leaves and shatters on the ground.
His Yorkshire tea. All the boxes he stockpiled. Now swarmed to the top with little black ants making the tea bags their new home.
So yeah, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that this week had been one of the hardest on his psyche in a long while. It was almost a blessing that the snarky little sergeant that was usually at his side was off on leave. He had the tendency to test his limits when it came to Simon. And one wrong joke with the lieutenant this week may wind up being the last one the sergeant makes.
"You sure those are the only reasons why you've been a right pain in the ass this week Simon?" Price had asked. The masked man shot daggers back at his captain.
"What else would I have to be mad about Price?" He handed the daunting stack of papers back to Price. The man chuckled behind his paper mug, hiding a smirk. "Nothing. Nothing... Well anyways, in unrelated news, Soap should be back in tomorrow! I'm sure he'd love to hear all the stories of your woes and misfortunes this week."
"Tch, I'm sure. He's not going to let me hear the end of it." He's going to have material for weeks when Gaz tells him about the yelling and crying he did when he was tossing out his tea.
"Oh lighten up Simon. You /know/, I'd hazard a guess that you actually missed the man more than you're letting yourself believe."
Simon lets out a cut-off laugh at that one. "I'd hazard a guess that you've lost it, old man!"
"Oh alright, I'm not even /that/ older than you!" Price shakes his head at him. "On that note, you're dismissed. Go and get some shut-eye," he stops to give him a once-over. "You need it."
Simon tosses another side-eye at the older man before he leaves. Once his door closes, Price groans to himself. "That boy could not come back soon enough..."
The next day, Simon wakes up with s scowl still on his face. The energy he sends off as he walks through the halls of the base sends chills down everyone's spines. It's as if he's singing the air around him with a black haze of /Do not come near me/.
That is, until the end of the day. As he nears the (now freshly cleaned out) rec room of the 141, a smell draws his attention. He can hear the sizzle of something cooking on the stovetop and the clatter of drawers being pulled. The savory smell drifts from the small kitchen and spills out into the hallway, tempting Simon to investigate further. Like a moth to the flame, he enters the room in a hunger-driven daze, coming to a stop at the entrance.
Oh, of course, that's who was drawing him in. It was honestly pretty comical how domestic the sight Simon walked onto was. Johnny had his back to him while he stirred a pan on the stovetop. A radio played some generic, slow tunes and he swayed his hips to the rhythm while he cooked. He must've just come back, seeing as he was still wearing his civies (a generic grey tee and figure-hugging pair of jeans) and his duffel bag was sitting on the couch.
Here, the sizzle of the skillet was even louder. The aroma of sauteed meat and spices was overpowering now, causing Simon's stomach to rumble. Johnny whipped his head around, his face lighting up when he saw who was by the entrance.
"Heyya Lt! Where've ye been?! I didn't see ya with the welcoming party at the gate." He turned to lower the heat on the stove, letting the food simmer. Turning back to Simon, he crossed his arms and gave the man an accusatory look, jutting the side of his mouth with his tongue as he spoke. "If ah' didn't know any better, ah'd say you didn't even miss me!"
"You wish Johnny," Simon huffed. "Been busy. Training ran late and a few of the soldiers needed a little... we'll say /positive reinforcement/" That positive reinforcement being several laps around the training field for a few too many pointed remarks about the mask.
"Aah, so that's yer excuse," Johnny jabs back. He bounds up to the lieutenant, not backing down despite the heated glare he gets from him. Instead, he comes up and fist bumps his shoulder, a lopsided smirk playing on his face.
"Bah, ah'm sure it's nothin' my ole Lt couldn't handle, aye?" He pats his back, his hand staying there as he transfixes Simon with a more serious stare. "Well anyways, it's good to see ye again, Si."
Simon doesn't know what it is about Johnny, but it's moments like this where the older man questions just how the hell he ended up in a situation like this. The hand on his back almost seems to soothe the embers that have been on fire ever since this week started. It's as if all the stress and tension he's held onto begins to slide off his shoulders the second Johnny blinds him with that wide, toothy smile.
God, he's so fucked.
A louder grumble from his stomach breaks the silence between the two. Johnny jumps excitedly, the thought of his food likely brought back to his mind.
"Oh! Are ya hungry?! Ah' almost forgot, I brought some leftover roast my ma and I made. C'mon, ye've got to try it!" He's already moving to fix a plate up for him before he can even respond.
Fuck it, he could give in to the seargant and pig out after the week he's been having.
With the dish finally in front of him, he has to admit, it looks pretty damn appetizing. Pieces of leftover chicken roast with traces of ground pepper, garlic, thyme, lemon, and other ingredients mixed in with carrots and other vegetables greet him. Johnny makes his own plate, leaving Simon to try it for himself.
He skewers a piece of the chicken, lifting the edge of his mask up and bringing it to his face. The first bite of the savory meat nearly elicits a groan from Simon. Maybe it's the stress he's been under, or maybe it's just that good. Either way, he finds himself getting lost in the dish.
Something about the chicken and the way it was prepared brings back memories of his own childhood. It wasn't often that they'd have the time or energy to indulge in very many different kinds of dishes. He still remembers one of the rare off chances that they did, barely tall enough to see over the counter but still helping his mom labor over the roast. Knocking into his brother Tommy who kept wanting to fight him over who got to do what. Simon watched one of the few fleeting moments of joy from his childhood as if he were watching an old recording. It was like he was living through the experience again, decades of trauma and heartache a distant sting. The taste of freshly roasted chicken on his tongue bringing back memories of the chill in the winter air, the soft glow of fire in the furnace, the soft vibration of his mother's laugh...
"...ye alright Simon?" the sergeant had gently asked. Simon jolted from where he sat, blinking away the wetness from his eyes. Since when the hell had he been crying?
The man cleared his throat, voice coming out more hoarse than he would've liked it to be when he spoke. "Y-yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm uh..." His tone shifted back into the gravely vibrato he usually uses. His heartstrings felt rubbed raw from the vision. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
He stole a brief glance back toward Johnny. The man was sitting across from him at the table (and since when did he get there?). He stared back at him with wide eyes and a slice of chicken hung limply from his fork.
"Ehm... right, emm... no reason." He also cleared his throat and shifted in his seat, no doubt trying to shake off the uneasiness hanging in the air. "So um, h-how do ye like the food?"
The soft smile he gives Simon manages to settle some of his fried nerves. One of the nice things about the seargant is how swiftly he can handle the perturbances that seem to follow him. Either be a shoulder to cry on or give him the space he needs. Simon figures he ought to return the favor, at least try and lighten the mood a little. "Hmm, could've used less garlic."
Johnny actually gawks at him for that response. "Wha- /rude/!" Simon's happy to see the man break into a laugh, throwing his head back and shaking. "Ya fuckin' bawbag!" SImon doesn't hide the smirk that begins to spread across his face.
"Ach well, I was trying to follow my ma's recipe. She popped in to help towards the end but ehm, maybe ah've got a bit of learning to do still." He chuckles, but Simon notices the way his gaze drops back down. How his eyes bore into the chicken, self-doubt emanating off the man. Whether over the chicken or Simon, he can't tell.
"It's perfect Johnny," the lieutenant speaks just above a whisper. "It's my favorite actually, reminds me of home." There's another pause before he continues. "You should make it again sometime."
Their eyes meet again. Brown eyes, typically dark and gloomy and hiding layers of suffering shine brightly in the dying light. And bright blue eyes, who's edges usually give way to tumultuous, rocky waves soften into a rooted, tranquil state.
"Och, of course. Anytime Si." Johnny pushes out from the table. Grabbing dishes to stack in the sink, he pats Simon's shoulder as he passes by. Any lingering stress hanging in him melts away at the touch. "Glad to be back Lt."
He hums in acknowledgement. Simon relaxes into the seat and watches him deftly drown plates and pans into the sink water.
"Glad to have you back Johnny." He's rewarded with a beaming smile thrown back over his shoulder. And a nice view of Johnny swaying his hips to the music in pants that really fit him way too well.
/Fucking Christ/, he's so fucked.
....................
Once again got inspiration after one of Samuel Roukin's live signings. Someone asked what his favorite dish was and he proudly exclaimed "my mom's roast chicken!" So now it's Simon's favorite as well, sorry I don't make the rules.

So what?
Jamie Harrison x poc FEM reader
Tumblr media
Summary: A drunk night spent at the cafe on amateur night you recall Jamie kissing you.
It had to be a dream there's no way your best friend kissed you but it's so fresh in your mind you weren't drunk last night it comes to you like a bad dream. You wince as you hold your head and your coworker grabs your shoulder "you good mate?" You smile and nod "yeah I just had a bit of a night... I'm going to go out for a breather. Love you mind covering for me?" He shakes his head "not at all go collect yourself." You take a deep breath as you walk outside but your body halts when it sees her. Shit there she is. Approaching you is Jamie with an all too giddy smile on her face as she looks at you. You take out a cigarette and light it she walks over and grabs you by your waist it isn't something new however right now it feels like there is a bit more meaning behind it. "You feeling bad?" You laugh sarcastically "am I feeling bad? I feel like I have a hangover and I didn't even drink."
She's acting as if nothing happened last night as if you both weren't in the corner hands roaming each other as she kissed down your neck. She glances at you seeing you're in your thoughts a bit she snatches your cigarette from your mouth and places it in her own. "Hey you good?" She takes a drag and blows the smoke against your neck they keep coming back to you every little memory from last night how her nails dragged against your skin and how hot her breath felt against your neck. You gasp as you feel her hand grabbing your face "you on that shit?" You shake your head and back away from her grip "I... I have to work" she nods "Y/n always the one with the job..." When you try to walk into the cafe she grabs your arm and smiles "get us a bite?" "No Jamie just leave please." Jamie looks a bit taken back this isn't the first time you've told her to leave you the fuck alone and it surely was not going to be the last but either way it still surprises her. When you walk back in your coworker sees panic written all over your face "I kissed my bestfriend well she kissed me but now she's acting like it's all cool when I'm pretty sure her hands were in my pants last night." He looks at you with wide eyes "girl what? Honey start from the beginning you've lost me."
Jamie's been outside of the cafe all day waiting for you to get off of work she knew something was wrong with you. When your shift is over you leave the door hesitantly and she offers you a cigarette "so what's going on with you?" You take the cigarette and mumble "you kissed me is what's going on with me." She looks at you as you light the cigarette and nods "and so what? You gone ignore it?" You take a drag and lean against the glass of the building "honestly? I don't want to but I'm scared you might." Jamie looks at you as if you're crazy "fuck no what happened when I was a bit tipsy-" you laugh at the lie she just told a bit tipsy was a complete lie "I could taste the alcohol on your tongue last night..." You mumble the last part of your sentence and she just smiles "a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts." You laugh and hit her shoulder with your own "look at you being all wise and shit." She shakes her head as she watches you take the cigarette from your mouth and blow the smoke out she kisses you as you're doing so causing you to choke. "Damnit Jamie" you cough and hit your chest "stop kissing me" Jamie shakes her head "nah I like kissing you" you can't help but smile at her "then do it again" she smiles as she grabs your cigarette and takes a drag. She places her hand behind your head this time as she kisses you and you have a replay moment of last night as you let your hands gently grip on her gray hoodie pulling her down to your height. You hear a man suck his teeth and mumble something you don't hear what he says but Jamie sure does because she pulls away from you quick and grabs a brick you don't stop her she surely has her reasons.
She throws it with a large amount of force and it hits his shoulder. When he turns around to chase you both Jamie grabs your hand and you both run not knowing where you're going but that's the thrill of being with Jamie you never know where you're going you just know it's going to be eventful.

Surprise (Martin Ødegaard)
Tumblr media
Masterlist
Word Count: 700
Genre: fluff
Summary: Requested by anonymous. You and Martin both play for Arsenal teams, and you make the most of the little moments where you can.
Being a professional footballer has plenty of perks. For one, you have unbreakable friendships with more than a dozen women. Another is that you get to do what you love every day and get paid handsomely for it to boot. Little girls across the country tell you that you're their role model, which is perhaps your favorite perk of all. 
Up until recently, the worst part about your life has been living away from your boyfriend, Martin. Now that you've signed with the Arsenal women's team, you bump into each other from time to time and it makes it much easier. 
Today, you've checked the schedule ahead of time. You know the men's team will have the grounds after you finish up in an hour, and you've got a plot cooked up to scare the daylights out of your boyfriend. Martin takes his job as captain very seriously, and you know he likes to show up early and help get the field set up before the rest of the team arrives. So once you've finished your training and have showered up, you decline your teammate's offer of catching a ride home in favor of hiding in a ball cart. 
Your temporary home is cramped and dark, but you only have to wait a few minutes to be rewarded with the sound of Martin's voice. 
"...thanks mate, I've got it!" The cart moves and you clamp you hand over your mouth when Martin swears. "Faen- this is heavy today innit! Hey James! Good to see you again yeah! How's the kids?" 
You roll your eyes at how adorable Martin is. Honestly he's the most endearing man you've met. How many footballers remember the names of the entire staff, let alone their family structures? You'd bet you can count them on one hand, but Martin is certainly the best at it. 
Muscles cramping, you bide your time until Martin laughs and the cart begins to move again. The next time it stops, bits of sunlight peek through the holes in the cart and you're sure you're pitchside. The lid is pulled back and you smile to yourself, waiting until a shadow passes over the top to jump up and let out a wordless yell. 
"Ah- fucking hell!" Martin jumps back, his eyes wide as he stumbles. You're fully aware of a few team members staring, some laughing along with you as you clutch your stomach with the force of it. "Elskling? Oh my god- you scared me! What are you doing in the ball bin?!"
"Scaring you, duh! Clearly it worked!" You wipe at your eyes before climbing out, the remnants of your laughter continuing to shake your chest. "You should've seen your face- oh it was hilarious. I should've had a camera on!" 
Martin's cheeks are red and he shakes his head, running a hand through his hair. "Right, well- you got me! I had no idea… I mean I did think it was awfully hard to move that cart but I never thought someone would be hiding in it! You're lucky I love you, you know!"
You shake your head and wrap your arms around his waist. This close, you can feel his heart hammering against his ribs, letting you know how surprised he'd been. You peck his lips and hear a camera click off to the side, grinning to yourself. 
"Ah, I guess maybe I caught you on camera after all. I'd expect that to be posted on all the socials in an hour or so." 
Martin groans, head tipped back with a rueful smile, "you're out to embarrass me, aren't you?"
"Mmmm, maybe." You tap your chin thoughtfully, "or maybe I'm just creating plots to kiss you as often as I can."
"Well in that case…" Martin firmly holds your hips and dips you backwards, giving you a deeper kiss whilst his teammates begin to file out. They hoot and holler, shouting encouragements at their captain. The while thing makes your cheeks burn, as does the sparkle in Martin's eyes when he pulls away, "I'd say keep it up elskling, because your plot is working."

Feeling Some Kinda Way about Astarion's mirror scene (which I just got in my playthrough). Spoilers for later parts of his storyline.
For reference, you can watch it here. I picked mostly the same options, aside from 0.04 ("Just looking. What are you doing?" "I'm looking too, but not seeing very much. Another quirk of my... affliction"), 1.34 ("I'll be your mirror. What do you want to know?" "I want to know what the world sees when it looks at me. What you see"), and 2.06 ("Karlach is beautiful. You're fine, though." Same reaction, approval included).
His current relationship with my Tav is... mostly platonic (they allowed him to feed from them, and he came onto them pretty strongly at the party, but they turned him down), so not meant to be a romance run. Have seen almost the same dialogue set with romance runs, too.
And honestly, on its surface, it's played as 'vampire can't see reflection, wants to be reassured about physical beauty'. But the fact that he approves when you say you're attracted to someone else is a pretty whopping indicator that it's not the surface interpretation, and we do later find out that... he really, really doesn't like being seen as attractive, given how Cazador forced him to use it as a tool. To use himself as a tool.
Tumblr media
Oh sure, he also approves when you call him beautiful, listing the stereotypical 'attractive' traits (you can watch that here). And yeah, that plays in with wanting to know that he still has his primary weapon, his ability to flirt and charm and use the tools at his disposal. But the voice acting comes across as... pretty different. He still has up the flirtatious wall when you call him attractive, but when you're commenting on laugh lines and the way his hair curls and how attractive you find your team mates? He sounds a lot more... unguarded, I think. He's not expecting it, even if (going by the approval) he likes hearing it.
Tumblr media
And I think that the more traditional romance route is what he was expecting and wanting to hear. The other options, on the other hand, are what he needs to hear but didn't realise it was even a possibility until now. Not that you see him as beautiful, he knows he is, he likes the reassurance that he can still use his appearance to keep himself safe. His approval with the whole, "Yeah, Karlach is beautiful, but you're okay too :)" thing, the genuine pleasure and amusement in his voice, comes from the realisation that his new companions are seeing him, Astarion, as a person and not an object of lust.
Tumblr media
Not Cazador's tool, the one he's used for two hundred years to survive. He has people on his side now, and they see him.

Our little family (Charles Leclerc)
Note: english is not my first language
Another idea that has been brewing in my brain and I thought I'd share, I got carried away and wrote this massive thing
Also, I've never been pregnant so I'm going with what I know, I apologise if there are medical inaccuracies here
Feedback is appreciated 🤍 and although I'm not taking requests per se, if you have any ideas or concepts you want to share, feel free to do so!
Tw: health concerns, pregnancy, labour and child birth, breastfeeding, mention of family members who have passed away
"Charles", you called, "Can you come here please?", and waited for him to come downstairs.
"What's up, mon coeur?", he asked as he crossed to corner from the dining room to the living room and stopped, "Did your waters break?".
"No my love, I couldn't reach the bathroom so I just peed in the middle of our living room", you teased, "Can you help me away from here? My hips are hurting and I'm afraid I'll slip and fall if I set my foot down in the wrong way", as you stretched your arms and let your husband guide you away from the wet floor. It did have a lot less water than you'd seen in the movies, and now that you looked at it it kind of looked like you didn't have time to reach the bathroom.
"How are you feeling?", and there was the concerned expression back in his handsome face, a look that came about everytime you so much as winced. "I think so, honestly it just feels like really bad period cramps right now, but we should monitor the time like the midwife explained, so that we know when to go to hospital", you said as you opened the app your friends had advised you to have when monitoring contractions, "Why don't you go upstairs get all the things down here and I'll clean this up, yeah?", you smiled back at him, ensuring him that, for now at least, everything was fine.
Reluctantly, he did as he was told, not too happy about having you out of his eyesight but also wanting to just get everything ready so he could come back to your side.
As you grabbed the mop and cleaned the floor, you could faintly hear Charles upstairs talking to himself and checking the last items off the list and putting them in the bags.
When the floor was clean and dry, you placed the cleaning products back in their place, and as you got back to the living room you caught your reflection in one of the windows, and took a few moments to appreciate it. Sure, there were moments where you didn't feel amazing, morning sickness that lasted all day, tears that came out of nowhere, pain in you back and hips. But it was so worth it. You had created a new life with the love of your life and although you couldn't wait to meet your little boy, you were going to miss having him so close to you and in this safe bubble of baby love.
You were so focused on your bump that you didn't even hear Charles going down the stairs, placing the bags down and reaching you slowly, seeing your focused state and not wanting to startle you, "So beautiful right? I love you so so so much, you're gonna be the best mama for little man here", he whispered as he cradled your bump and pressed multiple kisses to your face. After swaying with you for a little bit, the pressure increased, "I think I want to go bounce in the ball", you said and Charles immediately guided you to sit on it, helping you balance in it and sitting on the sofa so he could be face to face with you.
His phone started ringing, and as he was ready to press the denial button, Pierre's name flashed on the screen, "C'mon, let's give him a good surprise", you said as Charles accepted the call and put it on speaker, "Hello mate, what's up?". You heard some commotion on the other side of the line as your husband's best friend spoke "Hi, good man, good. We were wondering if you guys wanted to come over for dinner today, maybe it'll be the last time before the baby comes", leaving you to snicker a giggle, "That would've been great, but it seems little man will come in the next few hours", Charles replied as he grabbed your hand as you pulled a scrunched up face from the pressure in your belly.
"No way, are you serious? Y/N, please tell me he's not joking", Pierre almost whispered like if he spoke to loud he would jinx it.
"She's here in front of me, bouncing on her ball", he replied, "she's doing great", Charles replied and you hummed in agreement, "Not sure why you guys complain about porpoising, I'm having the time of my life bouncing in here", you joked loud enough so both drivers could hear you, fully understanding the differences and how dangerous it could be in their side, hearing Pierre break in full belly laugh, "you're still making jokes, I see", to which you replied "Well, one of us has to be calm and collected right?", as you pressed a kiss to your husband's cheek. "Ew I heard that, and I didn't need to, so I'm taking it as a sign to go. Keep me updated, yeah? Y/N, you've got this!", and after saying your farewells, Charles clicked off and focused back on you, "Do you need anything? Water, some food, a massage?".
You shook your head, "I'm good, I'm good, it's picking up now but I'm good", you smiled.
As things progressed and Charles called your midwife to update her, she advised that the two of you should head to the hospital, figuring from what she heard that you would be admitted.
"So, I'm gonna grab our things and you'll wait here?", Charles asked, "I can still walk, you know? I'll head to the car", you said grabbing your ball and taking it with you.
"Why is it all in your car?", he asked, "Because, as much as I like your car my love, all of this won't fit in there, I don't even know I'll fit in it", you giggled, "and it's because I like it so much that I also don't want to get your seats dirty if something happens", you blushed.
"Alright, you're right", Charles replied as he placed everything that was left in your car, helping you get on the passenger's seat, "Let's go have a baby", he finished placing a sweet kiss on your forehead as he helped you buckle your seat belt and closed the door.
After updating close family where you were heading, the car ride was... interesting. You were sure your car had never even worked in those speeds before, and you were just glad that the night as settling in and there weren't many cars in the Monaco streets, "I'm glad you are a safe driver, because if you didn't have all those skills, I would do something that maybe would make you unable to have anymore children", you joked still, and finally, it seemed to bring that pretty smile you adored so much, he had been so tense that you were starting to get worried. "Hey,", you grabbed his hand over the console, "So far everything is good, and we're finally gonna meet our baby boy. So we don't need to worry, not until we have to, if we have to", you finished as he parked in front of the hospital.
He flashed you a smile and the left his seat, going around the car to help you out onto the wheelchair your midwife had already brought outside when she saw the car coming around, "We're doing this, we're finally meeting little man. Let's go and do this mon coeur", he placed a kiss on your forehead and grabbed your forearms to help you.
"How are we doing, Y/N?", Paula, your midwife, asked as she wheeled you in, followed by Charles with your bags.
After checking you in and going up to your room, Charles went to park and car and came back to you bouncing in your ball whilst the medical staff filled your birthpool with water, giving a quick greeting to everyone in the room and going straight to you, crouching down to be at your eye level, "Hi darling, how are you handling it?", he asked.
You smiled at his voice and slowly opened your eyes, "they're getting closer now, stronger too. But they are filling the pool so I can get in and it'll help the pressure".
Charles' heart was going faster than the cars he drives, nervous for the whole situation and there you were, handling it all like a champ.
After getting checked up and getting the okay from the medical team, you were allowed to go in the pool. With Charles helping you undress, you got in and immediately felt a sense of comfort around you, easing your muscles and pressures. Kneeling down and resting your arms on the edge of the pool, Charles did the same outside the pool in front of you, offering you all his support.
You heard a knock on the door, followed by Paula getting in with coloured things in her hand, "Hello again mama, just went to get you your accessories", she said ripping what looked like bracelets out of the coloured sheets she was carrying. During your appointments, the medical team found out that, due to a medical condition, you were not advised to have an epidural, only if it was a last case resource, and since it was a common procedure, the hospital had implemented a colour system so no matter what professional came to see you, they could see the bracelet cues. "I have these for you, so if anyone talks about medication and all that, you show them your wrist yeah? Even if you're in the middle of a contraction you don't need to talk to them, just show them your wrist. I promise they won't think you're rude", she smiled, knowing you for long enough to know your worries and how far to take her jokes, handing Charles the bracelets so he could put them on your wrist like he asked.
"In the GPs I usually wear them around my neck so this is a nice change", you said as you waved the bracelets around, leaving a kiss on Charles' arms that were back interlocked with yours, allowing you to squeeze his forearms everytime you felt the need to.
You were in that position for hours on end, the time now approaching 4am and you were loosing motivation to keep going.
"Y/N, we need to check you for a little bit now okay? We're gonna move to the bed", one of the nurses said, and it was the last straw for you. You were tired, sore from the position even though it was the only one comfortable for you, and the last thing you wanted was to get out of that warm pool and lay on your back. So the tears started rolling, you felt Charles' and lift your chin up a bit, making you look at him, breaking his heart a little bit more, "I know it's not comfortable for you to go on the bed but I know you can do this. You're a superwoman, the strongest one out there and-", by that point you were looking into his eyes, those eyes that always calmed you down and took a deep breath before your request, "Can you come with me? I need you to hold me while I'm in the bed".
Looking at the nurses, who nodded along, Charles helped you up and sat beside you on the bed, holding you like he always promised he would. After checking your dilation and looking at your's and baby's stats, the nurse happily announced, "You're progressing very well, you're 7 cm dilated, nearly there!", and your tears where placed with a wet smile, giving you that boost of confidence you were lacking.
"See? I knew you could do it, my amazing wife can do anything", he said peppering kisses everywhere on your face he could reach.
Between shared affections, words of encouragement and a few laughs along the way to keep you going, the time came. Your body was urging you to push and you did what it told you. Grabbing onto Charles' arms and squeezing what you could to relieve the pressure, it took you four big pushed until your baby was out in the world.
Sitting back against the pool, the nurses lifted the little boy and after a few taps on his cheek, he let out a high pitch scream both you and Charles would remember for the rest of your life, "He's here, Y/N, congratulations mama and papa", Paula said as she placed the baby on your chest.
You couldn't believe it, he was finally here. A head full of hair, the softest of chubby cheeks ever and eyes wide open just taking in the world around him. You briefly looked at Charles and, like you, tears were running down his face as he kept caressing your shoulders and whispering a chain of praise and "thank you" on your ear.
"He's our baby. Like forever. We have a baby Charles, and he's ours forever. Our baby", saying it out loud sounded even crazier. From dating back from when you were teenagers, to you getting to university and Charles to F1, all the ups and downs, moving in together and getting married, and now holding the beautiful life your love created, you still couldn't believe it.
"Now we're gonna need to take little one to check everything while you deliver the placenta alright?", one of the nurses said and you extended your arms so she could grab him, "go with him Charles, I'll be fine here", you ushered him.
He looked at the busy station of nurses checking and measuring your little boy and figured he would just get in the way and switched his position a little so he could manage to see your little boy still whilst watching you too, "I'll just be in the way there, and I can see you both from here", he said with loving (and still a bit teary) eyes, "I love you so much. Thank you for not letting me give up", you whispered and you kissed his hand that was caressing your cheek and moving the hair that had fallen out of your bun away.
In the pregnancy classes they had warned about everything, but what they did not warn you about was seeing the love of your life cradle your newborn in his naked chest. The hormones were all over your body from post birth and the image of Charles holding your little boy in his chest, skin to skin, was making them go even crazier.
"I think he looks a lot like you, the big curious eyes, the hair colour is like the pictures your mom showed me of you when you were a baby like him. Yeah, carbon copy of you", you said, appreciating your two boys. "I guess so, but these cheeks are all you, look at them", Charles replied, kissing the chubby cheeks that your son had, "they're so soft and kissable and squishable, like yours".
One of the nurses knocked on the door, slowly entering after confirming she could do so, "how's everyone in here?" to which you replied "we're doing good, the food helped a lot, thank you", referring to the tray of food they brought you as you had barely gotten any sleep since the day before and did not have much of an appetite during labour.
"Now we should see this little one's tummy, if that's okay. Because any minute now I think he'll be hungry. How are you planning to feed him?", she asked as Charles put on a shirt after placing your son on your chest.
"We're gonna try breastfeeding. If it doesn't work, we'll switch to formula", you looked at Charles, remembering the conversation you had a few weeks before after he had read a book about how sometimes either the mom or the baby didn't feel good about that feeding modality, making you promise to always tell him if you felt any pain or discomfort you couldn't handle.
"Alright, let's get this baby boy to latch, shall we? I'm probably going to have to touch you if that's okay", the nurse said while you nodded and took the strap of your top down, "There you go little boy, well done!", she said as he latched immediately.
After feeding him until he seemed full, Charles learnt how to burp him and settled him in your chest.
"We have here also his paperwork, that's all going home with you don't worry, but we need this one here for his name, so when you have the time, that would be great for us. No rush", the nurse said as she was getting ready to leave. You thanked her as Charles grabbed the papers and pen and began writing in them, "my love, come here and you can put the papers on this tray here and write better", you said, sightly scooting so he could sit. "I don't want you to get uncomfortable. You need to rest, my love", he placed a kiss on your forehead and lightly grazed his son's cheek with his finger, "Nonsense," you patted the mattress, "you sit here. We want papa to sit here don't we? So we can all have a cuddle", and Charles gave in, sitting next to you and allowing you to cuddle into his side.
Helping him make sure that all the information was written down in the right places, he reached the spot for his name, "You want to keep the option that we talked about?", Charles asked. You had discussed loads of names and different combinations, not wanting your child to have a name no one could pronounce or having them take ages in pre school trying to write a 10-letter first name.
"Only if you're sure, my love. But I really like it and it will be a nice way of remembering the both of them", you said, squeezing his left hand as he wrote "Hervé Jules" in the destined place for his name.
"I love you so much, love you both so much", he finished writing and placed the papers back in the vanity the nurse had left them in, returning back to cuddle you and pressing kiss to little Hervé's forehead and then yours.
When you found out you were having a baby boy, it seemed natural. Paying tribute to two of the men who raised your husband and that mean so much to him. You even ran the idea with his mom, who held you so tighlty, his brothers, who thought it was a really nice idea, and even Pierre, who you may have promised that you would name your next child after, thought that Charles would appreciate it. So when you ran the idea through him, he just stared at you in silence. Only after what felt like hours did he break his stance and hugged you and your bump like his life depended on it.
"I think Jules would have loved to meet him. Dad too, probably didn't think you'd be able to put up with me for this long, let lone marry me and have my child", he said remembering his father's advice when they first started dating, "he always said that you would be the most amazing thing to ever happen to me", he kissed your forehead, "and he was right, you have been my rock for so many years, I couldn't have done it without you and now", he kissed your little boy's hand that had come free from his swaddle, "this little man, so perfect and amazing, I truly can't thank you enough mon coeur", he said before the three of you closed your eyes and caught up on some much needed sleep.
