Kinktober 3
Tumblr media
♡: Ghost x f!reader x König
Genre: Smut
Warning: Mention of threesome, suggestive content, oral, and masturbation, slow-ish build up, German translated words, bad British slang, ooc ghost and könig maybe
Word count: 1.1k
A/n: I can take them both… ☺️
Summary: Completing your mission early than you thought, you end up fucking with two other taskforce members.
Tumblr media
You may be wondering, how the hell did you get stuck with these two bastards?
One from Task Force 141. Ghost, a cold but stern lieutenant. Has a knack for basically a lot of combat things. And had big fingers to pleasure-
And the other one is from KorTac. König is a harsh and anti–social soldier. The fact that he is a colonel makes it scarier. He's massive too does that mean his dic-
And you. You were just a sergeant. Stuck with two higher status. At least they were hot
Each task force commander wanted to make a peace offering with each other. So, for this to happen.
They decided to group us up into groups of 3. Made up of 3 different task force members.
You were hesitant about this idea at first. But it couldn't be too bad, since you were gonna get paid more than usual.
The mission you got with these two was going to be a little difficult. Since teamwork wasn't easy for you.
The usual warehouse, find Intel, and report back.
You three were against the wall. Ghost had the lead since he was the best at stealth. He signals for you two to head in.
You three take out a few soldiers, trying to limit sounds from them.
"s'On y'ur six!" Ghost shouted. Gunfire raged through the building. Out numbering you.
So much for stealth.
Everyone decided to split up, since the warehouse was pretty large. You three went different ways, still holding radio contact with each other.
You found a computer room filled with papers and files. The one with the missile logs sticks out. The one you needed to find.
You pressed on your radio.
"This is (Y/n), I've found the Intel, repeat I've found the Intel." You spoke.
"Copy s'that" König spoke. "Affirmative." Ghost said.
You pace to the doors to see multiple soldiers on the ground. You looked around for exits. There were bodies everywhere.
As you found one, you found the two guys at the end of it. They were definitely chatting. As they turned their head to you.
"Here it is." You held the file up. They both looked at each other and nodded.
Tumblr media
The mission was quickly dealt with faster than expected, you three crashed at a random motel.
The two men shared a bed while you had yours. They went out for a smoke, so you were in the room yourself.
You were bored too. And it wasn't like they were taking a small smoke. They have their stress relief and you have yours.
So just an orgasm wouldn't hurt, hm?
You had the blanket over yourself and slid your hands down your pants, you rub your clit with your thumb.
Small moans slip from you as you slip two fingers inside and out at your pace. You faceplate on your pillow to lower the moan.
You knew they were outside, but it's not like they can hear you moan their name out. You muffled yourself.
You closed your eyes,  imagining the two large men on you. Touching you everywhere. You couldn't help but moan out their name.
You came quickly, world record maybe.
You tried again, seeing if you could come again, a second time.
Before you tried again, you felt a breeze over your body. You open your eyes, to see two large men looming over you.
Your two teammates caught you masturbating, how embarrassing. You got flustered and quickly scramble to pull up your pants, but they both stop you.
Instead they help you take off your clothes. And they took off their pants.
You saw how it sprung out of their pants. Their large cocks seem harder than anything. You gulped.
As they position you where you were facing their cocks. Ghost behind you, while König was in front of you.
"Say ah, schatz, weit offen für mich" (Darling, open up for me) König commanded in a soft tone.
You did as you were asked. You opened your mouth wide for him. As you felt his large size fill your mouth. Basically touching down your throat. You barely were half way down his cock.
Your cunt was dripping with aroused. Ghost easily slip into you, which makes you gag on König's cock. That pushes you closer to his happy trail.
Ghost stretch you out so desperately. And you squeeze him so desperately. Your pink walls consuming him. He was so large for you.
"M'tight f'me?" He groaned.
Ghost pushed his cock further into you, kissing your cervix, you sent out a choke moan. Vibrates through König's cock, he grunted.
It sends a Shock Wave of pleasure throughout your body. You felt like you were seeing stars.
He gripped your hair pushing your head at his speed, before coming in your throat.
"Swallow." He demanded, and you swallow his thick warm salty cum. He pulled out to spread some of it on your face.
"You're s'gonna break before she cums, s'mate." Ghost grunted out, thrusting into you. You let out strings of moans onto the König cock.
"You're such a slut aren't you?" König grinned at how sloppy and messy you looked.
They both thrust into you. 
"M'gonna so close.." You moaned.
Leaving you in a simulated mess, coming multiple times within the span of 3 minutes.
You squeeze Ghost's cock delightfully, making him groan. As for König, you continue to suck him. Ghost comes into you.
You lose the warmth when he pulls out. They both switch spots. Ghost in front and König behind you.
They stuff you with their cocks and continue their pace. All you could do is moan and whimper under their commands.
"Scheiße, tut mir so gut…" (Shit, so good for me) König groaned.
You barely could form words anymore, but still you wanted more. All you could say was their names. Like it was your only vocabulary.
You barely knew how many orgasms they ripped out from you. And you milked their cocks too. Your thighs were shaking, fuck your whole body was shaking.
You were overstimulated and overwhelmed as fuck.
They changed your position, you were now on top of König, Ghost was right behind you. They both filled up both of your back holes.
Cum dumping in you, until they were satisfied.
They tried to fit both of their cocks in one of your holes.
"It's not gonna fit." You cried out. They both comforted you. It eventually fits, but stretches you out.
You eventually passed out due to exhaust. Cuddling against the two men.
Who knew harsh men could be this soft?
They ran a bath for you, and cleaned you up. They praised you and made sure you were okay.
You were definitely going on more missions with them.

as far as buck has always been concerned, they were a straight, cis guy. there was no reason for them to assume otherwise; they really liked girls, & most of their hobbies/extra curricular activities were fairly male-oriented.
but even so, very rarely did evan ever really consider their interests to be male focused. the skateboarding crowds almost always had a pretty even split between guys & girls, & there were plenty of female athletes he went to high school with that could easily hold their own on the football field if they ever chose to join in.
they were just the things evan liked to do, & they happened to be male.
plus, talk of anything queer-related wasn't exactly popular in the bland, mid-sized town of hershey, pennsylvania. especially in the 90's.
it isn't until they join the 118 & grow close with their teammates-- specifically hen-- that they're really introduced to the queer community/culture on a more serious level beyond just knowing someone who happens to be gay. (they've always been an ally, of course!) one day, during a random conversation with the rest of the team, someone across the loft made a comment along the lines of "act like a man", & buck's response to their little group was "you know, i never really understood that phrase. or even 'man up' or any of those phrases." meanwhile everyone else stares at them with various looks of confusion & amusement, before they continue on. "what does it even mean to 'feel like a man'- or a woman?"
the looks became even more confused, & perhaps a bit perplexed, but before anyone could really respond, the alarm goes off, disrupting any further reactions. bobby keeps the talk in the truck on the details of the call, making sure his team is focused & ready for when they arrive on scene. but that doesn't stop the looks shot in buck's direction, even if nothing is said.
on the ride back to the station, everyone is a little worn from the call, & buck is fidgety enough from everyone's earlier reactions that no one brings up the earlier conversation. at most, eddie's knee is pressed against their's, & hen has that sisterly look on her face as she watches buck the entire drive back.
back at the station, hen pulls buck off to the side & quietly suggests they look into the various concepts of gender identity-- "more specifically non-binary & agender, & you might find some answers you're looking for, buck."
jump forward to being back at their loft post-shift, & diving right into a new rabbit hole of research. two days, & a head-full of new knowledge, a few cryptic texts with hen (that they're pretty sure she could see through easily), & almost too much reflection later, buck feels like they've unlocked a part of theirself they didn't even know was tucked away.
those phrases & concepts never made sense sense to them because they've never actually connected with the traditional concepts of male vs female. they don't connect to any gender & are just buck.
non-binary. traditionally masculine aesthetic/presentation. primarily uses they/them pronouns, but is perfectly fine with any others being used by the firefam (but only the firefam, strangers & casual acquaintances better stick with they/them). & completely open to any & all possible petnames & nicknames including more feminine ones (again, only by the firefam & significant others).

Group Work: Five rules to having a reasonable experience. 
Since being a University student, I’ve had my fair share of group assessments. Mostly all have gone differently from what I pictured but that’s okay. First off, picking your groups when you know no one in the class is just as random as the tutor picking the groups for you, so don’t freak out. Even your own friends can be not the right fit for group assessments too.
Rule 1 - Keep an open mind, people can surprise you. Put your stereotypical thinking away and leave it at home. Judging people before you even start an assessment doesn’t do any good. 
Rule 2 - Mention your assessment expectations, goals and wanted mark. This shows people in your group that you either just want to pass the assessment or that you want to do amazing in it. This allows the other members to form trust and get to know you. Now, this doesn’t mean having a go at everyone in the group and explaining that if you don’t get 90 or over, you will throw a fit and contact the tutor to complain. Do not do that, that does not show good teamwork skills and I guarantee you that your other members will use you as their example of a bad group member for an interview question.
Rule 3 - Split up the sections according to marks, skills and strengths. Don’t offer to take a section of the assignment if you know you won’t know how to do it. You have to remember other people want to do sections of the assessment that they prefer as it suits them, so only be lenient towards sections you know you can do. Your teammates will respect your honesty and feel more involved with the decision rather than them taking on your section as well because it was done poorly.
Rule 4 - Create a deadline within your group. If you’re super fussy with editing styles or creating a neat professional presentation, take on that role but tell your group members you need it done by a certain time. Re-enforce that deadline and communicate the importance of sticking to it. 
Rule 5 - Don’t be “in charge”. Don’t control the group and make all the decisions. Simply offer your opinion on everything that is being asked using good communication skills like tone, listening, empathy, friendliness and clarity. Make sure you are checking up on the progress of all members and asking if anyone needs help. Ensuring people know that you aren’t being bossy but just a generally nice caring person can actually make the group more cohesive, ensuring a positive end goal.
Keep it real,
Ella :)

Could you hcs for the damn polycule(including Gavin) and where they find out the FL has sketchbooks dedicated to drawing them but the fl never told them bc they were shy and worried that the polycule wouldn’t like their art? Hope you’re doing ok, take care of yourself :))
Hi! I'm sorry this took a little bit! It was a very long weekend lol, but I'm back at it! (hopefully).
I decided to split this up into categories for each character, but it's still the poly, no matter which section you're reading. I hope you enjoy! (also a bonus underneath the cut)
cw: very brief mention of the 'Kody incident' in Damien's section
Gavin:
Gavin knows first.
He’s lived with the freelancer the longest, and has gone snooping several times since he moved in
Not of any mal intent, he’s just curious
One day he was browsing through one of the bookshelves when he finds a worn out sketchbook shoved onto the bottom shelf
He takes it out and settles onto the couch to look through it
It’s completely filled, mostly with stills of random people or objects
Each picture varies in completeness and type of medium
Some are pages full of colors and details
Others are simple sketches or even some stick figures
But he spends about half an hour looking through the whole book, carefully running his fingers over each stroke or line
As he nears the end of the book, he notices the dates scratched into the corner of each page get closer to the day the two of them had gotten together
And sure enough when he flips the page he’s looking at himself
Several versions of himself actually
The page his just several rough outlines of his face, but the likeness is definitely there
Under the the date at the top of the page is just his name, ‘Gavin’
His heart is fluttering in a way it hasn’t before
He continues turning through the last dozen pages or so
The next couple are a steady mix of other items and quick portraits of the demon
Except for the last page
It’s a full page portrait of his face in colored pencils
He just stares at his still reflection on the paper for a solid 10 minutes
He looks relaxed in the drawing, half smiling as he looks at something out of frame
He thinks about how long it must have taken for them to draw this, and he feels so loved
The amount of effort they poured into the piece was evident, and the thought of it leaves a warm feeling in his stomach
He carefully puts the book back where he found it and considers confronting them about his findings
Not to mention all the jokes he could make about ‘practicing anatomy’
But when they come home that night he decides to stay quite
Now whenever he isn’t feeling well, he’ll wait until his partners are gone, and he’ll just stare at the picture, soaking it in before quietly putting it back on the shelf where it belongs
(Once Damien rearranged the shelf, and both the Freelancer and Gavin panicked)
Huxley:
Huxley comes home late one night after a night practice or an away game and finds the Freelancer asleep at the table, their head lying in what he thinks is an open textbook
Instead he finds a half finished drawing on him an Lasko
It was a scene from a couple of nights ago when everyone was watching a movie together
Lasko and Huxley had been curled up on the couch together when Gavin had taken a picture of the two of them
Gavin later sent it to the group chat later (and Damien denies he saved it to his phone)
He gently slides the sketchbook out from under them to get a better look
He flips the book back a couple of pages, looking through the rest of their artwork
There are several drawings, a different medium on each on each page
But the one that makes him pause is a painted portrait of him
Just like the one of him and Lasko, it’s based on a picture he recognizes
It’s a zoomed in picture of the 5 of them after one of Huxley’s games
The other 4 had come down onto the field to congratulate him when he picked all of them up in a group hug, and one of Huxley’s teammates had snapped a picture
It was one of his favorites and he had used it as his home screen for a couple of months
But instead of it being the full picture with all 5 of them, it was cropped so it was just Huxley’s face, his eyes squeezed shut and a wide smile
He could see each paint stroke on his skin and in his hair, each done with incredible precision
He looks at the painting for a moment longer before gently closing the sketchbook and piling all the Freelancer’s school supplies into their backpack
He picks them up gently off of the dining room chair and carriers them to bed where the rest of his partners are already sleeping soundly
He changes and joins them a moment later, holding all of them close for the rest of the night
Damien:
He’s seen the doodle before
When they were studying together when they first met, he could see all the small drawings in the margins of their class notes
He never mentioned them, but whenever they came over, he liked to look and see whatever new thing they’ve drawn
(the week after the Kody incident, the margins were bare)
So Damien knows the Freelancer has some artistic skills, but he doesn’t realize the extent of them until he was cleaning up the dining room one day
He was clearing off the table after studying and accidently knocked over a pile of the Freelancer’s textbooks
One landed on the floor face up
He was planning on just closing it and putting it back in the pile, but he noticed something interesting on the page
It was a black and white charcoal portrait of him
The drawing showed of the top half of his body and his head
It was surprisingly vibrant for a greyscale drawing, using the hard contrast to show off the angles of his face
He look at it for another moment, committing it to his memory before putting it back and continuing to clean
Lasko:
Lasko’s was the easiest to find
Everyone was gone and Lasko was home alone. The Freelancer had left a couple minutes prior to grab something real quick
Lasko was grading papers when his pen ran out of ink, so he heads into the shared bedroom to see if he can find a replacement, when instead he finds a drying painting of himself lying on the desk
It was a simple painting, but there was no question it was him
The painting was side profile of Lasko looking out the window of his favorite coffee shop
He had sat at that exact spot hundreds of times, so he wouldn't be surprised if who ever drew it had been able to do it from memory
The watercolor was still wet and glossy, so Lasko dared not touch it in fear of smudging anything
Instead he just admired the work put into it
In the painting, his glasses here tinted so you could only see the bottom half of his face, but he looked happy
Judging by the bag not too far away that he recognizes as the Freelancer’s, and the fact that they were the last one’s home, he guesses they were the ones who drew it
He didn’t know why they hadn’t shown off their painting skills before, but Lasko could understand wanting to hide something important to you, even from the people love you as a way to protect yourself from rejection
Lasko looked back at it one more time before heading back into the main area of the apartment, still thinking about the painting
“Ah fuck, I forgot about my pen!”
End:
None of them tell each other that they know about the Freelancer’s talent
They each think they are the only one to know about it
So they each individually decide to try and encourage them to show off their artwork and gain some confidence
Huxley starts by telling them how cute the doodles in the margin of their notes are
“Wow dude! That looks so sick!”
He’ll ask them to draw little ‘tattoos’ on his skin in marker
Which he’ll immediately show off to anyone who will look
“Hey! Look how cool this is! My partner drew it on me! Isn’t it awesome?”
The rest of the group will take advantage of this opportunity of course
So they each have the Freelancer draw something small of their hand or arm
Damien helps by asking them to draw diagrams on his homework
Idk what magic users would even have diagrams of, but Damien insists that it helps him learn better
And when they’re done he always makes a point of thanking them for their ‘help’
Lasko uses a similar approach
He asks the freelancer for help painting mini figures for his next D&D campaign
“You wouldn’t mind helping me with these, would you? I’d do them myself, but my hands keep shaking”
So they have fun date night together painting mini figures and watching nerdy movies
Lasko makes sure to tell them after the next session how much everyone loved the new figures
It isn’t an immediate change, but as they slowly grow more confident, they’ll start working on their pieces with the others around
They don’t show them off once they’re done, but it’s a good first step
All the boys are so excited, but they don’t want to scare the freelancer off, so they try to keep it to casual compliments
But they all really really really want to just stand there and gush about each piece for 10 minutes
Baby steps
So they stick to small compliments
At least until one anniversary, they each get a large envelope from the freelancer
Inside each is different painting of the 5 of them
So many tears
Damien gets so emotional he has to put his down so he doesn’t accidentally burn it
They all love it so much
Big group hug that ends up on the floor somehow
Lasko hangs his in his office
After that the Freelancer is a lot better at showing off their work, and their partners always make sure to tell them how much they like it
(and one day, after they all get married, the Freelancer paints a large portrait of all of them standing together saying their vows, and they hang it up in their new house where everyone can see it)
Tumblr media
So I kinda wanted to recreate all of them as a fun little surprise, but I got lazy. Also I hate water colors with a passion, so idk why I did Lasko's first

More Than Just A Matter Of Security (Kelley O’Hara x Reader)
Tumblr media
Anonymous Request: A Kelley O’Hara one when reader is like a new security guard or a personal body guard to to the team so they start flirting and the team teases Kelley about it so out of sexual frustration they hook up in some random ass places. 
This fic is INCREDIBLY long, so buckle up. 
WARNING TONS OF SMUT BELOW. 
Kelley’s about to speak when you come into view, strutting towards the team, wear all black, your shirt tucked into your pair of black pants, topped off by a pair of black Nike shoes.  
“DAMNNNNNN, the new guard got CAKE .” Sonnett mumbles, earning a nudge from Lindsey.  
“Stop being a pervert.” She mumbles, and the defender snorts.  
“Tall order Horan, tall order.”
Kelley watches a cocky smirk spread across your face when your eyes lock with hers, a single brow arched as your eyes shamelessly rake down the defender’s front.  
“Ohhhhhhhhh...” Emily teases as you walk past her, turning around so you can walk backwards, your eyes, now running down Kelley’s back.  
“I think the new guard thinks KELLEY’S got cake.” Emily snickers, earning a punch on the shoulder from the defender who turns towards you.  
You grin, your tongue trapped between your teeth as you give her a wink.  
“Looks like SOMEONE was appreciating the view.” Megan smirks, giving the defender a nudge, the woman’s cheeks flushing.  
“Shut up.”  
                                                          ***
It’s later that day that you approach her, a smirk on your face.  
“I figured I’d come and introduce myself, considering you can’t keep your eyes off me.” You smirk splits into a cocky grin and Kelley’s brows arch.  
“Oh, I can’t keep my eyes off you?” She scoffs. “It seems the other way around to me.”  
You hum, shrugging.  
“I mean every time my eyes are on you, yours are on me.”  
Kelley turns towards you with a smirk, sizing you up with her eyes.  
“I can’t help it, it’s hard NOT to stare at you.” She winks and you chuckle, your cheeks flushing.  
“I’m Kelley.” She grins, a dazzling smile that makes your heart skip a beat.  
“Well Kelley...” You take a step closer, the woman standing her ground, a few inches between the two of you.  
“I’m Y/N. It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of each other.” You bite your bottom lip and Kelley smirks.  
“I can’t say I mind that.” She winks, walking away.  
Unashamedly you watch her go, your eyes on her ass, that is until she glances over her shoulder, smirking.  
“Oh, I can’t say I mind either.”  
Meanwhile on field, the rest of the team is watching the interaction between the two of you, eyes wide.  
“They’ll totally hook up in the first month, bet.” Megan snaps her fingers and Ashlyn turns to her.  
“I say 2.”  
The two share a glance, eyes narrowed before Megan sticks her hand out, Ashlyn taking it with her large gloved one.  
“You’re on.”  
                                                          ***
“So that’s what you’re here to do?” Kelley asks as she moves to the sidelines, standing beside you with a smirk.  
“Stand here and look pretty?” You ask and she rolls her eyes.  
“Has anyone ever told you, you’re cocky?” She asks and you chuckle.  
“Loads of times.”  
Kelley stands beside you for a minute, crossing her arms across her chest and puffing her chest out.  
“In all honesty, I don’t know why your team needs me when they have you.” You grin, the defender turning to you with a laugh.
“Huh?”  
“Everyone knows how spicy you can be.” You grin and she rolls her eyes.  
“I’m not that spicy.” She mumbles, throwing her hands up in the air when the ref doesn’t call a foul.  
“What in the fuc-
Kelley freezes, turning to you with narrowed brown orbs.  
“Shut up.”  
“Did say anything...”  
                                                          ***
The longer you travel with the team, the closer you get with all of them, considering you’re not only the same age, but have the same kind of humor as well. If you were being honest though, you’d grown the closest with Kelley.  
Of course, the two of you flirted like a couple of teenagers, always trying to one up each other, but it had never went passed that.  
You would’ve been lying if you said you didn’t feel anything for the defender, her smile making your heart skip a beat, but there was something else that she made you feel, and that... THAT had been sexual frustration, the woman going out of her way to tease you, a flirtatious smirk on her face every time she saw you.  
The team had accepted you as one of their own, considering you acted like a number of them all rolled into one person, inviting you to movie nights and such. 
“What’s on your mind tough guy?”  
You jump at the sound of Emily’s voice and you smirk, the woman standing beside you with her arms crossed across her chest.  
“Straighten out your back a little.” You hum, the blonde doing as you ask, now at her full height.  
“Perfect.” You smirk, noticing the fans snapping pictures of the two of you as the game goes on, on the pitch.  
“Don’t show me up too much, I need the job.” You smirk and the blonde huffs.  
“I can’t stand straight too long, hurts my spine.” She whines and you grin.  
“Your spine damaged by years of bad posture?” You tease and Emily gasps.  
“I feel so attacked right now.”  
You give the blonde a nudge, missing the small smile on Kelley’s face, the defender’s brown orbs off of the game and on you.  
“Be careful O’Hara, your crush is showing.” Alex teases, the defender pouting.  
“Shut up.”  
                                                          ***
“Damn.” Kelley mumbles at practice when she spots you, significantly dressed down from your usual choice of clothes.  
“I can’t say I’m against you wearing these more often.” Kelley sticks a finger beneath the hem of your muscle tee and gives it a snap, your heart stopping in your chest.  
“I wouldn’t have worn it if it was cooler, so sorry I have to distract you for the day.” You smirk, the woman’s cheeks flushing from more than the heat.  
“Oh, you think I’m distracted by you?” She asks and you grin, taking a step towards you.  
“I think you are.” You lick your lips.  
Kelley smirks, a brow arched.  
“And I think you’re distracted just as much by me...” Her brown orbs flick from your eyes, to your lips and back.  
You shrug, grinning.  
“Maybe.”  
Kelley opens her mouth to speak, but is cut off by the sound of a whistle, the defender jumping. She clears her throat, sending you one last glance, a grin splitting her face in half.  
“Maybe you distract me too.”  
Your eyes widen as you watch her go, the woman grinning cockily as she moves towards your teammates.  
You clear your throat, glancing around as you do your best to ignore the dull ache between your legs.  
                                                          ***
Weeks and weeks of teasing have Kelley on edge, the woman’s core aching every time she sees your cocky smirk and twinkling Y/E/C orbs.  
“What are you doing?” You snort when Kelley abruptly grabs your wrist the second the two of you get in the backstage of the arena.  
The defender glances around before she opens a random door, when she’s satisfied no one will see the two of you and that the room is empty she shoves you inside, locking the door behind her.  
“Umm, why’d you lock the door?” You ask with an arched brow, but inside your absolutely buzzing, wondering if what you’ve been thinking about was about to happen.  
“Because you’re going to make me cum.” She says a matter of factly and your eyes widen.
Before you realize what’s happening, you’re shoved back against the wall behind you, the defender cupping your cheeks as she pulls you down into a kiss. 
The defender sighs as your lips meet, Kelley’s lips prodding at your bottom lip until your lips part.  
You let out a growl when your tongues meet for the first time, Kelley letting out a moan as her hands move to untuck your shirt from your pants.  
Kelley inhales sharply when you push her back against the opposite wall, your hands running down her body and palming her through her shorts.  
“Fuck.” She snarls, her eyes screwed shut as you rub your palm against her, the woman’s hips rolling.  
Kelley’s breath hitches as your strokes pick up speed, but seconds later your freeze, burying your face in Kelley’s neck as you let out a groan, the defender stroking you through your black jeans.  
“Oh fuck.” You growl as you rock into her, your own hand again moving against the front of her shorts.  
You let out a pitiful whine when Kelley’s hand leaves you entirely, but then she’s tugging you forwards, burying her face in your neck as she straddles on of your legs, her leg slipping between your own.  
Kelley’s fingers prod into your back as the two of you rut into one another, grunting and groaning into each other’s necks.  
The sound of Kelley’s soft sighs and moans in your ear drags you closer and closer to the edge, your rhythm sloppy.  
“Are you gonna cum?” You whisper in Kelley’s ear and she nods.  
“Ye-Yeah, I’m...” Kelley’s mouth hangs open, brows furrowing as she lets out a lengthy cry, muffled by your shoulder.  
You let out a raspy groan in her neck as you orgasm, quicker than you ever had before, but in this case, it was because this had been building up for months.  
Your hips soon still, as do Kelley’s the two of you panting heavily into each other’s necks.  
“Yeah, this is going to become a regular thing.” Kelley mumbles into your neck and you snort.  
“Has my vote.”  
                                                          ***
“Shit.” Kelley mumbles as she gets on the bus, glancing over her shoulder.  
“What’s wrong?” Alex asks, brows furrowed and the defender huffs.  
“I left something in the locker room...” She rolls her eyes. “I have to go back and get it.”  
“I’m sure we can wait?” Alex shrugs and Kelley shakes her head.  
“I’m sure Y/N can give me a ride to the hotel, but thanks.” Kelley slips off the bus, missing the way Megan glances at Ashlyn, the two grinning.  
“Oh, I bet she can give her a ride back, pay the fuck up.” Ashlyn holds a hand out to Megan who lets out a growl, fishing her wallet out of her bag.  
“You don’t know that that’s what they’re doing...” Ali mumbles, but the second the words leave her mouth everyone turns to her, brows arched.  
“Yeah, I realized it was dumb after I said it.”  
                                                          ***
“How’d you get them to leave without you?” You chuckle as Kelley rolls her hips into you, the defender laughing as you roll the two of you over, her legs wrapping around your middle.  
“Told them you’d give me a ride.” She smirks and you grin, a brow arched.  
“Ohhh, I can definitely do that.”  
Kelley rolls her eyes.  
“Shut up and fuck me.”  
“Ask nicely.”  
You grunt when Kelley bends her leg, rubbing it against the crotch of your pants. 
“Shit fuck.” You shudder, eyes slammed shut as Kelley watches you with a grin.  
“Am I asking nicely enough?” She teases, her tongue trapped between her teeth and you nod.  
“Ye-Yeah you’re asking nice enough.” You grunt, licking your lips.  
You shift, your thigh against the apex between Kelley’s thigh as the two of you roll your hips the car shifting slightly as the two of you hump like a couple of teenagers in the back seat of a car.  
“Y/N...” Kelley moans and your eyes widen, the sound of the defender moaning your name pushing you over the edge.  
“Kelley...” You groan into her neck, the defender climaxing moments later with a loud cry, your hips slowing after a few moments.  
The windows have indeed fogged up from the after practice exercise you’d done in the backseat of the car and you snicker.  
“You breathe too heavy.”  
“Shut up asshole.”  
                                                          ***
“Jesus Christ, you’re practically salivating.” Megan smacks your chest and you scoff.  
“Over what?”  
“Ummm, Kelley just lifted her shirt to wipe her face.” Ashlyn snorts and you shake your head.  
“Didn’t notice.”  
The two women share a glance.  
“Sureeeeeeeeee you didn’t.” Ashlyn smirks, she and Megan making their way to the bench to sit by their teammates, leaving you to stand rigid, your eyes darkening every time you watch Kelley’s calve muscles flex as she runs downfield.  
Soon, the familiar ache builds between your legs and you growl, hoping that halftime comes fast.  
                                                          ***
“Now?!” Kelley asks as you drag her to a secluded spot backstage and you nod. 
“I mean everyone needs a little halftime pick me up.” You shrug and Kelley snorts.  
“I can’t disagree.”  
The second you get her to an empty room your hand is down the front of her shorts, your fingers tracing her slit through her panties.  
Kelley untucks your shirt from your pants and stuffs her hands down your pants and into your boxers, the woman’s fingers running through your folds.  
“F-F-Fuck.”  
“You’re so wet already.” She whispers and you groan, the woman’s fingers rubbing against the throbbing bundle of nerves between your legs.  
Kelley gasps when you slip your hand out of her shorts and slip them into her panties, your fingers stroking her in a way that makes her body shudder.  
“Yeah, like that.” Kelley moans as you teasingly pinch the bundle of nerves between her legs.
“And you said I was wet.” You whisper in her ear, the woman crying out when you tease her entrance with your fingertips.  
Kelley drops her hips, the top section of your finger slipping inside her.  
“Eager, are we?” You ask and she shivers.  
“Please, inside.” She begs and you’re happy to obliged, slipping two of your long fingers inside of her, the woman letting out a shuddering moan.  
“Fuck, yeah.”  
You rest your forehead against hers, snarling when her fingers slip inside you.  
“Come on Y/N, I want you to fuck me.” She whispers in your ear, her hips starting to roll, her mouth hanging open, eyes screwed shut and brows furrowing.  
Still in Kelley’s state, her fingers move, her thumb rubbing against your clit as her fingers slip in and out of your tight heat.  
You can feel your release creeping up on you, and by the way Kelley’s walls flutter around your fingers, she’s close too.”  
“Fuck I’m gonna cum.” Kelley moans, your fingers curling in a way that pushes her over the edge, the sound of her moans pushing you over the edge seconds later.  
                                                          ***
Ashlyn rolls her eyes, turning to look at Sonnett who has her hands over her ears.  
“I can’t unhear that.” She pouts as Ashlyn moves towards the door, slamming her palm against the door.  
“Seriously? You guys couldn’t wait until AFTER the game? Get your asses to the locker room.” The goalie rolls her eyes, she and Sonnett taking their leave, Ashlyn consoling the blonde defender.  
                                                          ***
Meanwhile, back inside the room you and Kelley are looking at each other with wide eyes.  
“Fuck.” Kelley growls as your fingers slip out of her, your eyes locking with hers as you clean her essence from your digits.  
The defender follows suit, her fingers leaving your tight channel before slipping into her mouth, the woman humming at the taste.  
“Looks like that cat is out of the bag.” You shrug and Kelley rolls her eyes, smacking your chest.  
“Shut up idiot.”  
“Hey, if you weren’t porn star moaning, we wouldn’t get caught.”  
“Hey! At least I don’t snarl like a grizzly bear.” She rolls her eyes and you smirk.  
“If I remember correctly, that snarl as made you cum a few times.”  
Kelley’s eyes narrow as she glares at you, cheeks and ears flushing pink.  
“Shut up.”  
Reluctantly, you head back to the locker room, smiling when you realize Kelley has taken your hand, her fingers slipping between yours.  
By the time you get to the locker room, everyone turns to you with knowing smirks, except for Emily, the woman hiding her face in Ashlyn’s chest.  
“How dare you scar her.” Alex rubs her back and the two of your cheeks flush.  
“Sorry?” You shrug unapologetically, and Kelley smacks your chest.
It’s in that moment that Alex realizes the two of you are holding hands, her blue orbs darting from your joined hands to Kelley’s face.  
The defender jerks her hand away from yours and moves towards her locker, leaving you behind with the phantom feeling of her hand in yours.  
                                                          ***
Holding Kelley O’Hara’s hand felt so right, righter than holding someone’s hand had EVER felt.  
You drum your fingers against your bicep, watching the game go on in front of you, your eyes on a certain defender as she runs downfield.  
“You care about her, don’t you?” You pick your head up, eyes wide when you see Alex Morgan standing in front of you, the woman giving you a soft smile.  
“I don’t know what you’re-
“Bullshit.” She snorts and you sigh.  
The forward doesn’t relent though, standing beside you, her arms crossed across her chest.
“We’re just messing around.” You whisper lowly, the woman leaning close to hear you, rolling her blue orbs as she pulls back.  
“That doesn’t mean that feelings can’t develop between the two of you.” Alex growls and you huff.  
“It’s just sex, that’s it.”  
Alex pats your shoulder.  
“The longer you keep telling yourself that, the worse  it’ll make you feel.”  
You watch the forward move towards the bench and take a seat a frown tugging the corners of your mouth down.  
You know she was right, but really admitting it to yourself meant cutting off what was going on with Kelley and honestly, you didn’t want that to end.  
                                                          ***
A knock on your hotel room door makes your brows furrow.  
You’d just gotten out of the shower and into your clothes to get ready for bed when someone started insistently knocking on the door.  
One look through the peephole and you’re tugging the door open, a brow arched when you see Kelley O’Hara standing on the other side.  
“You making a house call?” You snort, the defender rolling her eyes as she slips into your room.  
“Who are you? Get out of my room!?” You say teasingly, Kelley grabbing your arm and pulling you into the room, kicking the door shut behind you.  
“I needed to talk to you.” Kelley sighs and your eyes widen, your heart skipping a beat in your chest, but the voice in the back of your head tells you that she isn’t here to talk about pursuing more with you, so you plaster on a charming smile, as per usual and swagger towards the bed.  
“We can’t hook up anymore in public.” Kelley says in a single breath.  
You snort.  
“Yeah, I figured since we got caught.” You shrug, sitting beside her on the bed and Kelley nods.  
“Do you uhhh...” Kelley swallows hard, her gaze on the hotel’s tacky carpet beneath your feet. 
“Do you want to stop ummm, what we were doing?” Kelley asks and you lick your lips, staring at the woman’s profile.  
The woman nervously fidgets, glancing out of the corner of her eye at you every few seconds.  
“Are you just going to stare at me?” She asks and you chuckle.  
The woman lets out a squeak when you lift her into the air and place her in your lap.  
“Do you want to stop?” You ask and Kelley licks her lips.  
You inhale sharply when the woman gives her hips a roll, her bottom lip trapped between her teeth.  
"Now that I’ve seen you half naked...” She whispers, her hands running down your chest, nails digging into your muscular stomach.  
Kelley leans in, pressing her lips against yours, your heart stuttering in your chest at the feel of her lips against yours.  
Her fingers tangle in your hair as your lips part, Kelley’s tongue slipping into your open mouth, caressing your tongue with hers.  
Kelley gives her hips a roll and you shudder, your arms slipping beneath hers, your hands on her back.  
The two of you part, a grin stretching across her face.  
“It’s not fair if I’m the only one half naked at this party.” Your brows arch and Kelley rolls her eyes, holding her arms up in the air.  
“Well?” She winks and you grin, pulling her shirt over her head and tossing it to the floor. 
You hum loudly. 
“Still a little overdressed.” You teasingly stick your fingers in the hem of her sweats and give them a tug.  
You watch with wide eyes as Kelley stands, pulling her sweats off with no hesitation, your cheeks flushing as you drink her in, realizing she’s in nothing but a thong.  
“Better?” She asks, watching as the muscle in your jaw jumps and you nod.  
“Ye-Yeah, be-better.” You stammer, the defender grinning as she goes to climb into your lap.  
The defender gasps when she ends up flat on her back, her head on the pillows at the head of the bed.  
“First time having you in a REAL bed.” You smirk, ducking down to latch onto her pulse point, the woman tilting her head back as you teasingly lash her pulse point with your tongue, giving it a nibble before giving it a hard suck.  
“Shit.” Kelley groans, her fingers running down your back as you suck a bruise into her neck.  
“That’s going to leave a mark.” You tease the defender sighing as she cups your cheeks, pulling you into a kiss.  
“Fuck, I don’t care.” She whispers against your lips gasping when your leg slips between hers, your hips rolling as you kiss, tongue sloppily swiping at one another.  
Kelley whines when your lips leave hers, but soon her back’s arching when you’re nibbling on her collarbone, your lips trailing down to the swell of her breasts.  
As you suck the pillowlike flesh into your mouth Kelley pulls you closer, forcing more into your mouth before you release it with a loud pop, quickly turning your attention to her other breast.  
Kelley shoves you back and your eyes widen, the woman fumbling with taking her bra off.  
She grumbles as she tries to unhook it, her eyes narrowed as she glares at you. 
“You get it.” She pouts and you smile, slipping a hand behind her and flicking your wrist, her bra immediately coming undone.  
“Wipe the smirk of your face.” She grumbles, taking her bra off and tossing it on the floor.  
“Your turn.” She flicks your sports bra strap and you smirk, jerking it over your head.  
Immediately Kelley ducks down, latching onto your nipple.  
You tilt your head back, sighing as the woman’s tongue lashes against your nipple.  
“Fuck.” You groan as Kelley does the same to your other breast, kissing and nipping on the erect bud with a smirk.  
“Shit Y/N.” She whispers as you roll your hips, legs wrapping around you as she buries her face between your breasts, nipping and sucking the flesh until you’re covered in bruises.  
You shove her back onto the bed, the defender chuckling as you slither down her, lighting brushing one of her nipples with the tip of your tongue.  
“You don’t get to have all the fun.”  
Kelley can’t keep still, as your lips latch to her nipple, the woman’s back arching as you lash the stiff bud with your tongue.  
“Like that.” Kelley sighs and you grin, pulling back to give her breasts a few love bites, the defender grinning as you latch onto her other breast, giving it similar attention.  
“Take them off.” Kelley commands as you pull back, your eyes wide.  
“Are you...” You swallow hard, your eyes widening when Kelley sits up, cupping your cheeks.  
Her brown orbs dart around your face as her thumb runs across your bottom lip. 
“If you want to.” She whispers, leaning in to playfully bump her nose against yours. “I want to, but ONLY if you’re okay with it.”  
You lick your lips, your nose brushing Kelley’s as your lips meet in a tender kiss.
Considering your eyes are closed you can’t see when Kelley’s eyes snap open, doubling in size when something more than lust runs through her.  
Kelley’s eyes shut again just as you pull back.  
“I want to.”  
Your eyes remain locked with hers as you run down her body, your fingers slipping into the waistband of her thong.  
Kelley nods, licking her lips as you strip her off the wet garment, your eyes still locked with her brown orbs until she spreads her legs, your eyes dropping to the apex between her thighs.  
“Jesus, you’re soaked.” You whisper as you press a kiss to her calf, the woman’s tongue pushing between the tight line formed by her mouth.  
You give her opposite calf equal attention before kissing up her thighs, stopping just shy of where she needs you most and sucking a bruise into her flesh.  
“Please Y/N.” She whispers and you smirk, nibbling at her hip bone.  
“Please what?” You ask and she growls, tangling her fingers in your hair and shoving your head between her legs.  
“So forceful.” You smirk and Kelley growls.  
“Y/N just-
The woman’s brows furrow, her eyes screwing shut and mouth falling open as you run your tongues through her folds for the first time.  
“And I thought you tasted good on my fingers.” You whisper, blowing on her slick slit and the woman’s back arches.  
Soon you’re back between her legs, a feeling Kelley can only describe as utter pleasure, the woman gasping and moaning as you find each and every spot that makes her toes curl.  
“There!” Kelley yells, tangling her fingers in your hair, her back arched as your tongue moves just the way she likes it.  
Kelley can feel the heat building in her lower belly, her lips parted as she grabs fistfuls of your hair, rocking into your eager mouth.  
“Y/N, I’m gonna...” She squeaks.  
“Cum baby, cum for me.” You whisper against her sex and Kelley cums with an obscene groan, her essence coating your tongue which you’re more than happy to lap up.  
At the way Kelley’s hips quiver you get a devilish idea, pulling her flesh up with your thumb before lashing your tongue against the hidden, most sensitive part of her clit.  
“FUCK Y/N!” She screams, cumming again with a cry, her back arched as much as humanly possible.  
You help her down from her high, pressing a tender kiss to her sex before you’re pulling back, the defender covered in a thin sheen of sweat as she pants heavily, her lips parted.  
You fall onto the bed beside her, the defender rolling over, burying her nose in your neck.  
“I’ll... I’ll be ready in a minute.” She pants and you grin.  
“You don’t have to.” You grin and she shakes her head.  
“No... I...” Kelley grins, giggling.  
“Damn, you’re good at that.” She shivers and you smirk, rolling on your side and wrapping your arms around her, the sweat covered woman wiggling closer, her nose buried in your chest.  
You give her forehead a tender kiss, the woman smiling as she nuzzles into your chest.  
“I’ll just take a power nap...” Kelley yawns and you nod.  
“Sure, you will.”  
The defender mumbles tiredly and you smirk.  
“Sleep.” You whisper, kissing her forehead and the woman smiles, nuzzling closer before her breathing evens out and she’s fast asleep.  
You look down at her with a smile, the defender smiling in her sleep making your heart skip a beat.  
“Night Kel.” You whisper, your eyes fluttering shut.  
Soon you too are fast asleep.
                                                          ***
Kelley wakes well before you, smiling when she smells your body wash, the delicious ache in her hips reminding her of the night’s activities, as if she could actually forget the mind-blowing orgasms, you’d given her.  
Kelley stares up at you through her eyelashes, a smile stretching across her face at the way your mouth hangs open, soft snores coming from your open mouth.  
“I always knew you’d be a snorer.” She whispers against your chest, her eyes fluttering shut.  
Kelley’s eyes flash back open though when you pull her closer in your sleep, mumbling under your breath.  
Kelley tilts her head back, kissing the underside of your jaw, nuzzling against the spot she’d just kissed.  
The defender cups your cheek, tilting your head down so she can look at your sleeping face. She leans in, her lips inches away from yours as her eyes flutter shut, soon she too is again fast asleep.  
                                                          ***
Waking the next morning, your lips mere inches away from Kelley’s is something you could definitely get used to.  
You let out a lengthy sigh, your eyes widening when Kelley’s sleepy brown orbs flutter open.  
“Finally, you sleep like a bear.” She laughs, voice raspy and you chuckle.  
“How long have you been awake?” You ask, stretching and she smirks.  
“A while...”  
“Were you kissing me in my sleep, weirdo.” You tease and she rolls her eyes.  
“No, I just wanted to be close enough to do this when you woke up...”  
Kelley leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to your lips, cupping your cheek with one hand and taking your hand with the other, intertwining your fingers as the two of you kiss softly.  
If Kelley were clothed, the kissing would be incredibly tame, though when she rolls the two of you over, her bare chest pressing against yours, you know it’s anything but.  
You inhale sharply, the woman smirking, ducking down to kiss your neck.  
“I suppose I should return the favor for all those hickies.” She whispers kissing and nipping at your flesh before sucking a bruise into your neck.  
“Kel...”  You gasp, the woman smirking.  
“Hmmm?” She hums as she nibbles on your earlobe and you sigh, the apex of your thighs throbbing considering you hadn’t orgasmed the night before.  
“Ohh, I bet you’re still turned on...” She whispers in your ear, sliding down your body, pushing herself up on her hands, hovering over you.  
“How do you think this would feel...?” Kelley lowers herself towards your chest and you swallow hard, grunting even at the feel of Kelley’s breath on your chest. 
“Shit.” You sigh as Kelley lightly flicks her tongue against the sensitive erect bud, your back arching.  
“You are still turned on...” She whispers as she gives your nipple a bite, earning a groan as your body shivers.  
The amount of pleasure you feel JUST from the woman lightly stimulating your nipples is enough to push you over the edge, but soon she’s pulling back with a smirk.  
“Oh no, you’re not cumming yet.” She smirks, watching as a bead of sweat runs down your face. She crawls up your body, her lips pressing against yours, the two of you again getting lost in kissing, the sound of your lips meeting the only sound in the quiet room.  
“FUCK.” You yell when Kelley, unbeknownst to you, slips a hand between your legs and palms you through your boxers, your brows furrowed and eyes screwed shut.  
“Are you ready for me?” She asks and you nod, your lips parted.  
“Ye-yes, p-please.” You grunt, inhaling sharply when Kelley tears your boxers off, the cold air hitting your slick heat.  
“God, you’re soaked.” Kelley says as she spreads your legs, licking her lips.  
Kelley smirks, her brown orbs locked with your Y/E/C orbs as she lowers her face to your core.  
“I think I’ve teased you long enough.” She whispers, pressing a kiss to your pulsing clit, the small touch making your back arch.  
Kelley smiles up at you, the sight of your pleasure, her own core throbbing.  
The defender dives between your legs, her eyes rolling back in her head at the taste of your sex.  
“God-da-damn.” You stutter, your fingers tangling in Kelley’s hair as your hips roll, Kelley paying extra attention to your clit.  
Kelley slips two fingers inside you and you let out a literal snarl, the defender moaning against your sex, her body shuddering at the sound.  
“Fuck, I want to hear you make that sound again.”  She whispers against you, her fingers curling inside you.  
“Kel, I’m...”
“I want you to cum, cum for me baby.” She whispers and you do, letting out a groan as you cum, the defender smirking against you, her own release creeping up on her as she rubs herself against the bed.  
The orgasm is like one you never experienced, your toes curling, your eyes rolling in the back of your head as you convulse.  
“Ohhh yeah...” You shake, twitching, gasping when Kelley’s fingers slam into you, never ceasing, the woman taking a play from your own book by pulling the hood of your clit back and sucking on the newly exposed shaft of your clit.  
“KELLEY!” You cry out, letting out a guttural roar as you cum again, your body convulsing even harder.  
“Oh fuck, Y/N.” Kelley cries, burying her face in your thigh as she cums, her body shaking.  
“God-Fuck... Shit.” Your body shivers harder, the sound of the woman’s orgasm prolonging your own.  
You finally still, your eyes still rolled in the back of your head as you twitch and quake from the aftermath of three powerful orgasms.  
“Shit Y/N...” Kelley sighs as she crawls on top of you, flopping down on top of you, the two of you panting heavily.  
“Jesus.” You whisper, wrapping your arms tightly around her, the two of you covered in a thin sheen of sweat.  
“Is today your day off...?” You whisper and the defender nods.  
“Yeah.”  
You grin.  
“Well I think I know what we’re doing today.” You smirk and Kelley giggles.  
“I can’t say I mind the sound of that.”  
                                                          ***
“So, I guess Y/N and Kelley are fucking all day, and I’m NOT about to go knock on that door.” Ashlyn shakes her head as she takes a seat beside Ali at breakfast.  
“Y/N is just digging a deeper hole.” Alex frowns, everyone turning to her with an arched brow.  
“What do you mean?” Lindsey asks and Emily scoffs, sitting down beside her.  
“Y/N is in love with Kelley, but doesn’t want to admit it.”  
The sound of gasp makes everyone still, the team turning around to see you and Kelley standing side by side, your eyes downcast and Kelley’s eyes wide.  
Kelley can’t seem to get herself to move, even when you turn on your heels and take off, leaving her and the team behind.  
“Kel...” Alex moves to her feet, placing her hands on Kelley’s shoulders.  
The woman blinks, glancing around, her brown orbs doubling in size.  
“Did you...” Kelley looks at Sonnett, the blonde’s eyes wide.
“Did you say she loves me?” She asks and Emily swallows hard.  
“You weren’t supposed to find out this way...” She whispers, unaware that you’re already upstairs stripping out of your clothes and grab the essentials, leaving everything else behind.  
“Wait, she, she loves me?” Kelley asks, chuckling in disbelief as she moves to sit beside Sonnett, her and Alex sharing a glance.  
Kelley remember the tender kisses you’d shared that morning, how she felt when she woke in your arms that morning and how she felt seeing you were asleep in her arms.  
Kelley blinks rapidly, the woman smiling as she jumps to her feet and runs off.  
“I LOVE HER TOO.”  
Alex shakes her head, smirking.  
“I hope they figure this out...”  
Little did she know you had already made your escape, taking off down the sidewalk and further into the city.
Kelley comes down minutes later, tears in her eyes.  
“She took most of her things... She’s gone.”  
                                                          ***
“Shit fuck.” You shiver.  
Unfortunately for you, it had started to snow, and also unfortunately for you, you hadn’t exactly grabbed a coat in your haste to leave.  
“Of course, it would be fucking snowing, of fucking course.” You growl under your breath as you shake.  
Even through the cold you march down the sidewalk, unwilling to go back to the hotel.  
You know Emily didn’t mean to tell your secret, you didn’t blame her, it was jus bad timing and it couldn’t have been worse.  
Wandering around the city you eventually end up at a park, the sidewalks now dusted with snow, as you begrudgingly sit on a bench, your body shuddering.  
Yeah, it was cold, but you weren't going to the hotel, not yet, because then you’d have to face her and the harsh reality that she didn’t feel the same.  
                                                          ***
“Is there ANYWAY we can do to find her!? It’s cold and she didn’t take her coat!” Kelley motions to your suitcase and Emily clears her throat.  
“We’re going to Alex’s room; it smells of sin in here.” Emily mumbles, earning a narrowed eyed glare from the defender.  
“Come on, I’m sure we can figure out a way to find Y/N.” Megan leads the charge to Alex’s room, the entire team brainstorming.  
“Wait, can we track her through Insta or something?” Julie snaps her fingers and everyone turns to her, smirking.  
“Ertz comes through for us again!”  
                                                          ***
You don’t know how long you sit on the bench, unmoving until someone gives your shoulder a shake.  
“Y/N, hey, we need to get you back to the hotel...”  
You blink rapidly, your brows furrowed.  
“Lys?” You ask, the goalie nodding.  
“Yeah, it’s me. Jesus, you’re freezing.” She mumbles, helping you to your feet, your bones aching from the cold, a thin coating of snow covering you.
“How long have I been out here?” You mumble, glancing around and Julie frowns, coming from out of nowhere, slipping a coat over you.  
“A couple hours.” She frowns and you shudder, her, Crystal, and Carli leading you down the sidewalk.  
“Come on, let’s get you back.”  
You swallow hard, stopping, much to everyone’s dismay.  
“Does she hate me?” You ask shivering and Julie shakes her head, smiling.  
“Of course not.”
Alyssa smiles, shaking her head.  
“She never could.”  
Carli and Crystal gently place their hands on your back.
Carli smiles.
“But you two need to talk.”  
You nod, swallowing hard.
“I know.”
                                                          ***
“Alyssa found her, they’re heading back to the hotel now.” Christen sighs in relief.
“Is she okay?’ Kelley asks worriedly and Christen frowns.
“Apparently she was just sitting on a bench covered in snow.”
Kelley pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing.
“Damn it Y/N…” She mumbles, her heart racing.
The second they get back to the hotel, Kelley basically leaps out of the car, leaving her teammates behind as she makes a beeline for the elevator.
Kelley makes her way down the hall towards your room, eyes wide when she sees Julie standing outside your door.
“Is she okay?” The defender asks and Julie nods.
“Freezing, but okay.”
Kelley moves towards the door, but before she can step inside, Julie catches her wrist.
“She really cares about you Kel.”  
Kelley nods, giving Julie’s hand a squeeze  
“I know.”
                                                          ***
The second the door opens you freeze, your eyes slamming shut.
The bed dips and your eyes flash open, locking with Kelley’s dark brown orbs.
Kelley cups your cheeks, your flesh freezing beneath her hands.
“God, you’re so cold.” She whispers, surprising you when she slips under the covers with you, wrapping her arms tightly around you.
“Kel I-
Kelley shushes you softly.
“We’ll talk about it later, let’s just focus on you getting warm.”
Kelley immediately notices how rigid you are and she frowns.
“Look I promise we’ll talk, okay? But right now you need to get warmed up, the #1 priority.”  
Soon the rest of the team is upstairs, peeking in the room to see the two of you huddled together, the defender’s arms wrapped around you.
“Let’s give them some privacy.”  
Ashlyn shrugs.
“Orrrrrrrrr… we could always listen through the wall since our room is right beside theirs…”  
Everyone shares a glance.
Ali grins.
“Alright you talked me into it.”
She basically runs into the hotel room, her teammates following close behind.
“Didn’t take much.” Ashlyn snorts.
“I’m invested, if I have to listen to them screw all night long, I deserve to know if they’re together!”  
                                                          ***
Kelley pulls you close, her eyes screwed shut as she holds your still shivering and shuddering body.  
“I was so scared.” She whispers, nuzzling into your cold neck, the woman’s hot breath on your neck making you sigh.  
“I’m sorry I scared you.” You say, voice raspy and raw from disuse.  
Kelley pulls back cupping your cheeks, though she wanted to focus on warming you up, she also wanted to address the elephant in the room.  
You can’t help but stiffen, not wanting to turn to Kelley, the woman’s brown orbs holding a truth that you worried would go against what you wanted, what your heart wanted.  
“Please look at me.”  
You sigh, your eyes screwed shut as you turn towards her, eyes still hidden behind closed eyelids.  
“Please Y/N. Please.” Kelley pleads and you take a deep breath, nodding to yourself before your eyes finally flutter open.  
Your Y/E/C orbs lock with hers, Kelley’s brown orbs shining with tears.  
“P-P-Please don’t cry.” You stammer, covering the hands on your cheeks with your own.  
“Kel. I’m so sorry I just-
You inhale sharply when Kelley leans in, her lips pressing against your cold ones.  
The kiss is tender, a kiss you’d shared a few times before, a kiss that told you that she feels the same, that she did back then, but like you, she had no idea how to tell you.  
The two of you part, your lips splitting in a grin as your eyes lock with hers.  
Kelley leans in, her forehead resting against yours.  
“I love you Y/N... I have for a while and I’m sorry I didn’t-
You lean in, silencing her with a kiss, the two of you parting only when you can’t stop grinning.  
“I love you too.” You whisper, the defender giggling as she lunges back in, crawling on top of you as she presses kisses to your lips, your chin, your cheeks, your forehead, anywhere and everywhere she can reach.  
Kelley hums, smirking, her tongue slipping between her lips as her brown orbs dart around your face. She leans in, playfully brushing her nose against yours.  
“I know a way we can warm up.” You flirt, the defender rolling her eyes.  
“Shut up and go to sleep, get your mind out of the gutter.”  
That’s how the team finds you later, the two of you fast asleep, your arms wrapped tightly around the defender whose nose is buried in your neck, her hand cupping your cheek.  
“It’s about time...” Alex smiles as she tiptoes to the bed, pulling the blankets up and over the two of you.  
“This probably means we should suggest that Kelley and Y/N have a room away from us when we travel, right?” Emily sighs and Ashlyn nods.  
Christen snorts.  
“Yeah, that won’t help, we could hear them down the hallway.” Christen glances at Tobin, the woman nodding.  
“So, a different floor then?” Emily shrugs, and Julie scoffs.  
“Nope, we could hear them up there too.”  
“A new hotel then?” Emily huffs and everyone snickers.  
“Yep.”  
Kelley snarls, sleepily.
“Could you guys go away?” She mumbles sleepily and everyone rolls their eyes. 
“Fineeeeeee. Congrats Kel.” Alex ruffles the defender’s hair and she huffs, glaring at everyone until they leave the room, before she turns back to you, you who are still fast asleep.  
“I love you Y/N... I’m sorry it took me so long to admit it.”  
You grumble in your sleep, pulling her back down against your chest.  
“I love you too.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
« masterlist prev work »
for the longest time, your lifelong friend jisung had been bugging you to go to this arcade with him
you eventually said yes since you physically couldn’t say no to his puppy eyes and he took you there one weekend
he was practically bouncing the entire way, babbling about all the people you’d meet
turns out he came here every weekend to play laser tag with a couple of friends he made here
this was news to you, but you let jisung lead you to a pool table in the back where six boys were..attempting to play pool?
after several games of game pigeon pool you were an expert !! or at least more then what these guys were doing
the one with long hair was holding the billiard the wrong way (╥_╥)
you could hear the cheerful laughs coming from them as jisung tugged you beside him
“guys, this is y/n, the friend i mentioned! y/n these are the dumbasses i started hanging out with-,”
“if anything, you’re the dumbass!” the one holding the billiard upside down reprimanded, dropping the stick and making his way towards you both “i’m hyunjin, nice to meet you!”
“hi hyunjin—,”
“move out of the way! hi i’m jeongin!” a new boy appeared, shoving hyunjin away as he held his hand out
“oh, hello!”
one by one all the boys came up to introduce themseleves to you, well six of them at least, didn’t jisung say there were seven of them?
“where the hell is felix?” jisung asked, looking towards who you now knew as minho “is he doing the thing again?”
minho solemnly nodded before gesturing to the claw machine a couple feet away from them, and there stood a blond haired boy with his back faced to them as he aggressively tried to win what looked like a stuffed animal
jisung shook his head before gesturing for you to follow him
“is this a normal occurrence?” you asked as you both made your way to the boy
“yeah, last month is was the dance revolution game and this week it’s the claw machine-felix!”
said boy let go of the claw to turn and smile widely at the both of them “sungie! do you have a token i can use to try again? pleaseeee?”
jisung rolled his eyes as he tossed the boy a token before pointing to you
“this is y/n, they’re playing with us now.”
“oh,” felix turned his head to you, giving you a once over before winking “nice to meet you,” before rolling the token in “let me make my first impression winning a stuffed toy!”
“you’ve been at this forever, which one do you want?” jisung asked, waking closer to press his head against the glass
felix solemnly pointed to the chick plushie tucked into the corner, and you admit it was cute so you could see why he was trying so hard
“want me to try?” you asked, stepping closer as you looked over the machine
“go for it!” he smiled, moving out of your way to press himself against the glass next to jisung
you clicked start and took a hold of the joystick
you squinted your eyes and found the same plushie a bit closer, hidden behind another one and aimed for that instead
you heard gasps coming from where the two boys were standing as the claw grabbed the two plushies and dropped them into the box
and since you had some extra seconds left you managed to grab one more
“there you go!” you pulled out the plushies and handed felix the chick one and gave jisung the squirrel one, keeping the llama one for yourself
“wow we all match now!” jisung cheered
“thank you!” felix said, his eyes shining with glee as he looked at you, and you were this close to getting all the plushies out so he could always look this happy
“no problem-,”
“HEY LOSERS OUR GAME IS STARTING HURRY UP!” you heard minho interrupt, as he and the other boys disappeared behind some doors
you guys ran behind him, tucking the plushies away for later
there was another group of people with you and since the teams were randomized, your group got split up after getting the gear on
“prepare to lose!” hyunjin teased, sticking his tongue out at you, chan, seungmin, and jeongin (who were on the same team as you)
“shut up!” jeongin glared, holding up his laser gun and pretending to shoot the other
jisung joined in and started to play shoot you, while you feigned getting shot
before you could play shoot him back the lights went off and the gate opened, letting you guys inside as the game was about to start
you and your team each split up, making plans to shoot at least one member
your ignore the way your stomach fluttered at the thought of felix chasing after you but quickly shook those out of the way, you had to stay focused !
once the bell rang you were off, you hid behind the walls as you shot a couple of the other team’s players
you spotted a familiar pair of shoes and quickly went to go shoot jisung, who gave you a pout as you ran off giggling
you watched your score steadily go up as you got more and more people, and the adrenaline was getting to you, you were motivated to win this thing 〴⋋_⋌〵
you had only been shot a couple of times so you weren’t too worried about getting caught,
you were currently hiding in the corner where no one had found you yet as you shot anyone who ran past
you were just about to shoot a player on the opposing team when you felt a prescence behind you
quickly turning around you were met with felix giving you a sly grin as he backed you into the wall
“your cornered now y/n,” he whispered, pulling out the gun as he aimed it at your vest, “game over for you.”
you ignored the fast beating of your heart as he made his way closer, his free hand coming to make trace its way down your jaw
“you look really pretty under these lights,” he muttered, quirking an eyebrow up and he angled his face a bit closer “lucky i get to see you like this.”
you were too nervous to squeak out a thank you as felix closed the gap between the two of you, but just before he could come any closer you heard the familiar beep on your vest
you look down to see you’ve been shot and felix shooting you a sly grin, the little shit
“distracted by my charm?” he teased, his lips right beside your ear, “am i that handsome?”
you rolled your eyes as he backed away
“i’d love to stay but your vest is charging up so i’m gonna blast, bye sweetheart,” he blew you a kiss before running off
you huffed as you waiting for your vest to reset, following after the blonde boy as you did so
no way you were gonna let him get the last shot between the two of you
and maybe you wanted to be that close again to him...
after ducking behind a couple of pillars you finally spotted him crouching behind a wall as he shot one of your teammates
you let yourself grin in victory as you made your way behind him, making sure you weren’t seen, then aiming your gun at the back of his vest
you shot him and watched in glee as his vest gave out a beep and saw him look around for the culprit before spotting you giggling behind him
“you!” he smiled, geting up from his hiding place on the ground and wagging his gun at you
“you didn’t expect to get away with that, did you?” you laughed, backing away as he made his way closer to you and holding out your gun, “i’ll get you again!”
“cool down time is a minute,” he grinned, letting you back yourself up into the wall, “what do you wanna do with that one minute?”
you let your eyes wander off toward his lips,,but you swear it was cus he was talking!
not cus he looked extremely kissable
perhaps you stared too long cus he took notice and cupped your jaw
“mhm, ten seconds is enough,”
“enough for what—?”
you were shut up with his lips capturing yours, leading you for a bit before pulling back
“sorry babe but my time is up,” he winked before shooting you in the vest and running off
took you a few moment to realize what happened before you were chasing after him
“FELIX YOU MF”
when the game ended you and felix were tied to your immense surprise, while jisung was currently boasting about his first place
now that you were out of the dim lit laser tag room you could see felix in better light,
and god damn
you could see the swear glistening on his face from all the running and his unkempt hair from the humid room
you weren’t too sure if this was a one time thing or he actually wanted to try something with you
you were crossing your fingers it was the latter
you got ur answer soon enough when you felt a tap on your shoulder and an awkward felix made his appearance
it was endearing to see his confident side and nervous one all in one day
“do you maybe wanna, grab lunch after tomorrow? just me and you?”
you played along to being oblivious before you replied,
“lee felix...are you asking me out?”
his cheeks flushed a deeper shade of pink before nodding at you
you gave him a smile before saying yes, the rest was history
bonus headcanons:
apparently jisung had a bet on which one of his friends you would end up dating, ro your surprised he had guessed it would be felix
ಠ_ಠ sometimes you forgot how well jisung knew you
you also found out he didn’t come every week just for laser tag, he also wanted to get close to a specific boy named changbin ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
which was endless teasing material for you
after the lunch date the next day, you both stopped by the arcade again and this time he managed to win you a little prize
since you both had just met one another a good majority of your dates were just you two chatting as you walked aimlessly, getting to know one another
and after about one month he invited you over to his place to cook dinner for you, which is where you shared your next kiss <3

🎶: fool - nct 127
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were very proud to announce to your closest friends and family that you've been accepted to your university's figure skating team! It was, and still is, one of your biggest accomplishments. First you got into your dream school, then your dream team, what's next, you're dream boy?
You feel your chest tighten and breathing stop as you enter your uni's ice rink, the cold sensation of the ice instantly nipping at your warm skin. It's not like you mind, you've felt it all your life, it was your favorite feeling.
The sound of skates scraping against the ice fills your ears, swarming around your body and swirling especially in your heart, the nostalgic sound of it feeling so nostalgic to you.
It was crazy how much time you spent on the ice.
"Y/n!"
They beckon you over, to which you instantly rush up to them with buzzing excitement coursing through your veins.
Just as you get right next to them, and greet them enthusiastically, a bunch of boys come out of the changing room with red and blue uniforms, laughing and chatting loudly with each other as they get onto the ice.
Just as you get right next to them, and greet them enthusiastically, a bunch of boys come out of the changing room with red and blue uniforms, laughing and chatting loudly with each other as they get onto the ice.
Woah, you think. It's the gators!
You've seen them play before, and they are really no joke. They gave the best team players, fastest skaters, and the most strategic moves. They have so many international transfers as well.
You recognize each and every one of them, every one but a certain tall, shy boy. There's a sudden rush of warmth that spreads through your face and ears, and your eyes widen as you see him skate gracefully in the ice.
"Woah, aren't they great? Y/n didn't you- oh gosh are you blushing?"
Your palms instantly fly up to cover your face, shaking your head no, "N-no! I'm just cold!"
They all know it's bullshit, you've never been so red because of the cold, and you would literally skate all night with only a t-shirt when the team was opening for players. There is no way you're just cold. He
"Whatever you say, Y/n. Come on, let's get our skates."
You give them a tight nod, picking your duffle back up into your arms. You give the hockey players one last glance, and already find the new member looking right at your direction. A squeak erupts from your throat, before you scurry off into the changing rooms quickly.
You didn't expect to be skating at the same time as the hockey players, but you guess it's how the first practice of the semester goes. Each of the coaches are at the benches, talking to each other excitedly as they talk about each of their new skaters.
You're only doing a few spins on the ice, your nerves making it somehow colder, when you catch the new guy looking at you again. You try to brush it off, but to no avail. You slip and fall.
It's alright, most of the skaters here have already done the exact same thing, some taking a fall even worse than yours. You groan and pat your lower back and butt in pain, before getting up quickly to start yet once again. It's a painful, but daily routine.
The coaches stand to call all team members, each on different sides of the rink. To your dismay, you're all the way on the other side from your teammates and coach. You quickly get up to skate to them, but the second you get up you're tumbling back down because of a weight pushing you.
"A-ah! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you..."
Your head snaps up at the unfamiliar voice, and your own voice disappears when you see the same cute new member from the hockey team.
There's an awkward moment between you two as you just stare at each other, breaths being stolen away by one another, but remaining breathless. Your heart pounds dangerously loudly in your ears, swelling in a way you've never felt before.
It feels like forever, before the boy helps you up with an apologetic pat at your lower back.
That’s all you think of for the rest of the week, in the middle of class, eating lunch, heck, when you’re late to class, his awkward smile and gleaming eyes permanent in your memories.
Your teammates tease you to no end, calling you out whenever the boy, who you’ve learned his name is Sungchan, comes within just 15 meters from you.
It’s no different for him himself, it all started when Donghyuck teased him of how red he was and how he would always glance at you that day. He was never one to believe in love at first sight, but suddenly it was his whole love life the moment he helped you up from the ice.
Fortunately for the both of you, you got to see each other without being teased out of your minds. At first, you doubted why you signed up for economy, but now you keep looking at the clock to see how far 5th period was.
Maybe coincidence, maybe fate, you don’t really care. Just the fact that you get to sit next to him in econ made your heart thump quickly.
But, even with such time, you two were still too shy to make a move. It was so obvious you wanted to, but it was like a mutual agreement that the time will come, when the time will come.
You kind of regret it though, you hate that you have to be so self conscious around him, when there are your teammates, always walking up to random dudes and asking them random shit.
You think this and curse to yourself as you open the ice rink doors, the cool wind blowing at your face for the nth time this week.
Just as you get sight of the ice, a familiar red and blue jersey flies from one side of the rink to the other, and you can’t help but wish it’s Sungchan.
It might just be fate, for your crush was there, with a hockey stick, playing around and doing all kinds of tricks with the puck.
You are once again, blow away at his skills, eyes traveling with him and observing every move he makes. It’s 8:45 pm, just 2 hours before the rink closes for the day. You thought you were the only one planning on training this evening.
You take in a deep breath, mentally preparing yourself for some awkward moments, before placing your duffle bag on the benches.
Just as you step on the ice with your skates, Sungchan turns around, and is shocked to see you on the ice with him. He instantly loses focus and topples over suddenly, causing both him and you to gasp.
“Oh my god! Are you okay?”
As your voice gets clearer and closer, the boy feels his heart start to shake, and the same feeling of when you fell on the ice fluttering within his body.
“Y-yeah! I’m fine, r-really,”
Your expressions still twist in worry, and despite your mind freaking out and not knowing what to do, you still offer him a hand.
It feels like strikes of electricity or sparks running through your body as Sungchan’s cold, gloved hand envelops yours. You tug him upward gently, your heart beating in your ears loudly like drums.
Sungchan sends you an awkward, shy smile, one that you reciprocate with just as much nervousness shading it. Despite being in an ice rink, with literally just a shirt and yoga pants, you’re burning up. You haven’t even warmed up yet.
You mutually, but silently, agree to split the ice, the right side for you, the left for Sungchan.
Youreally can’t help but sneak a few glances at him as he practices, sometimes even going as far as staring without realizing. It’s not like it’s too easy for him either, your movements are so graceful and full of effort, he can feel the hard work radiate off of you. Many times did you want to help each other when one fell, but decided not to since it’s so common for people on the ice.
At some point of the individual practice, Sungchan accidentally hits his puck all the way to your side. He internally panics, hesitating to go in your zone to take the puck. The second he’s taking a step into your side, the puck is flying back in front of him.
Alarmed, Sungchan’s head whips up, shocked and very much delighted to see you, with a bright smile on your face and sparkling eyes.
He’s stunned. How could someone so perfect, suddenly become even better?
“Bring it on, Jung!”
A smile finds itself instinctively on Sungchan’s lips, before he’s retrieving the puck again and dribbling it around. Your confidence starts to waver at his determined stare, instead a chill of excitement running through your body.
Before you know it, you’re chasing Sungchan around the ice, attempting to steal the puck from him. It’s of course, not that easy, for someone who hasn’t played since the 8th grade. Though, you still impress your crush a lot, with your speed and stamina, you could train to be a hockey player.
The silent playfulness is turned vocal, with laughs and groans whenever one falls or fails to steal the puck. You can barely pick up the pace because of how much you’ve laughed at this point, just tagging along behind Sungchan as he teasingly tells you to catch up.
At last, you have a chance to steal the puck. Without any hesitation, you skate faster, and swerve the puck your way. The way your stick clashed with Sungchan’s made him shocked, not to mention your speed and swiftness too.
Sungchan is racing after you, ready to take the puck back to his possession, but he’s too late, you’ve hit, and it goes straight into the goalpost.
With a breathy laugh, you throw your hands into the air, and throw Sungchan a big, proud grin. He only pants with a smile, and gives you a much appreciated thumbs up.
“How are you so good?” At the question your ego is nibbling on, you smirk smugly and shrug, “I used to play ice hockey a lot with my dad and cousins.”
You get the puck back from the goal, and start dribbling it around the rink with skill. Oblivious to the adoring loom Sungchan gives your way, you attempt to shoot the puck at him. He catches it with no problem, “You’re so damn cool,”
At that, you slip painfully onto your back.
You lay no mind though, sitting straight back up and staring at your crush with big, surprised eyes, “W-what?”
Sungchan only laughs, wiping his forehead with his gloved hand, “Nevermind that,” he skates towards the exit of the ice, smiling shyly down at his skates.
Now’s a good time, right?
“H-hey,” you hum back a response, knowing your words would catch in your throat if you spoke. Sungchan bites his lip shyly, “You wanna go out sometime?” A soft gasp leaves your lips.
“L-like a date?”
“I mean, y-yeah. A date,”
Unwanted fireworks go on in your body, exploding with joy and giddiness from the suggestion of a date.
You both grin like fools once the other is out of sight, replaying whatever happened over and over on repeat.
There, in the ice, minutes after being asked out by your crush, you are unaware of the bright and fun future you have with him, unaware of the black hole you call love, falling deeper and deeper for him.

Lifetime of Waiting *Chapter 7*
Anthony Beauvillier and Mathew Barzal X Original Female Character
*smut in the chapter* TW: Mentions of death and Covid
(I’m a whore and cannot stop writing smut alongside with the other content but I’ll try to tone it down. Enjoy!)
Tumblr media
Chapter 7
“So you’re going back to British Columbia? And you’re going to Quebec and I’m going to be here?” Tessa asks sitting across from her two soulmates in disbelief.
“You’re not coming with one of us?!” Mat asks.
“Was I asked? No, I have a life here and I can’t just be assumed to come with you two always. I have to be asked and you have to ask.”
“Would you like to come?” Tito asks.
“Well considering I have a life, no I can’t.”
“It’s a worldwide pandemic Tess, we’re not letting you stay here. What if you die?” Mat pipes in.
“So what if I die then? So what? Oh well, nothing we can do.” The two men look at each other in alarm.
“You can’t just say that Tessa, you are not going to die and we’re not going to let you.”
“So what if I die. With this pandemic there’s a chance I’ll die, you’ll die, your teammates could die, Anise could die. Death is going to be a part of this and I understand that it’s normal. I wish death is painless but it’s not and we can’t worry. What if this is the last little bit we ever see of each other? What if I die when you guys are gone.”
“That won’t happen, come with us. Or split time between the two of us.” Anthony says.
“I wanna cry or scream or die or anything to feel. I am so so scared guys. I am living in the states, I’ve been around for too long to not be afraid.” Tessa can’t look the two men in the eye. Anthony moves towards her and she flinches away. “Don’t, I don’t want to be held or talked to like I’m fragile guys. I don’t want to, so do not pity me. I am scared and you two aren’t getting it.”
“We get it Tessa, we do. I promise everything is going to be okay, we are going to make sure that you are safe and nothing is going to happen.”
“I don’t want to die.” She cries, her body shaking with sobs. Mat and Anthony look at each other both hearts breaking equally as quickly.
“Tess, you’re not going to die. Can we take you to bed to cuddle you?” She wraps her arms around herself and shakes her head.
“No, I don’t want to be comfortable. I want to feel Mat. I want to feel pain, feel anything because all I feel is nothing since this whole pandemic started. People are dying, what if I am dying, what if I get it.” She’s not making any sense her body racked with sobs, panic rising in her system. She slides to the floor in a heap. “I-I can’t breathe, help.” Anthony comes behind her and holds her to his chest. Mat kneels in front of her and takes her hands into his.
“Okay I need you to look at me Baby girl. Focus on me and my breathing, look at my eyes. Focus,” Mat says rubbing his thumbs over the tops of her hands.
“Matty, help me.” Anthony kisses the back of her head.
“In and out, mirror us please. Everything is going to be okay.” Tessa reaches out and attaches herself to Mat’s body.
“You’re okay Tessy, I promise.” Anthony soothes as him and Mat have a silent conversation to move to his bedroom. Mat scoops her up and easily walks with her to Anthony’s room. Once situated Mat is on one side and Anthony on the other. Tessa is slowly calming down being wrapped not only in blankets but in the arms of her soulmates.
“We will not let anything happen, if anything Canada is safer for you.”
“Okay, I’ll go. I’ll split the time, half with Matty and half with Tito.” She shrugs. “But you two have to promise me that you’ll be safe and you won’t let me take away from time with your families.”
“You’re our family too.” Tessa takes a deep breath calming her fast beating heart and lets her eyes close.
“I mean your brother and sister, your parents, grandparents! Please don’t let me take time away from them. I will come with you but I want you to spend time together with them.”
“Deal.” Mat says and Tito agrees.
So the three made plans to go to Canada. Tessa helps the boys split her time between the two. She plans to stay a month with each just to begin. So April 14th to May 14th with Mat and May 15th to June 15th with Tito. She knew this was going to do a number on them but she knew that they could handle it. They would figure it out and get through it.
“Okay so Mathew, we’re leaving in two days for a month. Anthony I’ll be with you for a month as well okay? If anything happens or we have to change it we can. Now, I don’t want you two having issues with it okay? Does that make sense?”
“Do we have a choice?” Anthony asks.
“No, deal with it.”
“But what if I get horny?”
“Then you call me and I’ll help you deal with that. If I get horny because between you and me, I don’t know how the fuck you were made but it makes me want to be on you all the time. You could just give me a look and I’d drop to my knees right there.” She shrugs turning around to clean up her random papers she had thrown across the table. The boys smirk and shake their head.
“What look?” Mat asks pressing himself against her back.
“Not now, I need to go home and pack.” She gulps zipping up her bag.
“No, I think you need to answer him Little one.” Anthony chuckles looking at her darkly. She shakes her head and rolls her eyes.
“No, that’s not going to work.”
“Did you just roll your eyes at me?” He asks and Mat runs his hand up her torso to grab her neck. She gasps and her head falls back.
“No.” Mat chokes a bit harder.
“No what?” Anthony asks.
“I think you better answer him Tess.” Mat whispers nipping at her ear softly. She whines low in her throat.
“No Daddy.” Mat releases her throat and she huffs grabbing it again stopping his hand from fully leaving her. “Don’t leave please, keep it there.” She sucks his thumb into her mouth swirling her tongue around it, pleasing her oral fixation.
“Such a good little slut aren’t you? Just want whatever we can give you?” She moans, nodding in agreement. Tessa relishes in the feeling of having the two of them take care of her and just being there.
“So, what should we do to her?”
“Okay, I guess I can stay for just a bit.” She shrugs dropping her hand from Mat’s arm.
“I want to eat her out, I think she needs to relax a bit.” Mat smirks against her neck nipping at it softly.
“Sir please, Mat I need it.”
“Oh, I know you do. You’ve just been so wound up lately, come lay on the couch.” Anthony sits down and pats his lap. Mat helps her strip out of her pants and panties. She climbs nervously into his lap and he wraps his legs around hers, holding her open for Mat. She looks up at him and he captures her lips in a fiery kiss. Mat takes her distraction as a good time to start. He starts by kissing the top of her pussy and down all the way to her hole before giving it a soft little lick. Tessa chokes on a moan that is quickly swallowed by Tito’s mouth.
“Fuck, you taste so sweet. I could spend forever between your legs.” Mat works her up to an orgasm and just as she’s about to bubble over he pulls back and softly strokes her legs as they shake.
“Relax, we’re just getting started.” He chuckles.
“You said that I deserved to relax, let me cum.”
“I did say that, however we’re playing by my rules and I say you aren’t relaxed enough.” He shakes his head in disapproval.
“No, Mat I’m sorry. I don’t wanna disappoint.” She whimpers.
“Babygirl, you know that’s not my name. You’re not disappointing me though, I just want you to enjoy your orgasm and the work up.”
“Fuck,” her head lulls back on Anthony’s shoulder and he chuckles kissing her forehead. Mat slides two thick fingers in her pussy and curls up gently rubbing against the little bud inside Tessa. “Fuck, Mat don’t stop. Please, don’t stop.” Her hips buck wildly. He pushes her close to the edge and stops again removing his hands. She growls and lurches forward at him.
“You’re a fucking dick, why didn’t you let me cum?!” She huffs panting. Mat smirks and chuckles leaving feather touches on her thighs, close to her pussy.
“Shhhh baby.” Tessa lurches out of Anthony’s grip and pushes Mat to the floor holding his hands above his head. He looks at her in surprise.
“You fuck me and make me cum or so help me I am going to go to the bathroom, lock the door and make myself cum without you. You would only get to hear my moans,” she growls feeling desperate and undone and Mat interlocks their hands flipping her around so he’s on top.
“Oh yeah? So cute when you try to be dominant.” He chuckles, his breath tickling her face. His hair tousled and messed up from messing around. Mat leans down and sucks roughly on her neck marking his territory. Tessa’s hands tense and she fights to touch him.
“No, keep your hands there.” Anthony commands from the couch, watching Tessa struggle under Mat. She whines.
“You’re not in charge here boys.” She says and she feels Mat’s thigh wedge itself between her legs pushing roughly into her clit. Her hips involuntarily buck up into his knee.
“Oh yeah? Because your body says something different. Come on, just give in. Give into what your body desires, if you give in we’ll let you cum.”
“You were mean, fuck you.” She bites.
“Oh you’re gonna regret that! Come on.” He stands up and throws her over his shoulder taking her to his bed, Tito following on his tail.
“Put me down you barbarian!” Tessa smacks his back. He spanks her, effectively stilling her moves.
“One second babe.” He chuckles throwing her down on the bed. “Edge of the bed now.” He commands. She obeys and gets on her hands and knees.
“I’m gonna fuck you and Tito is gonna fuck your face. We’re not going to stop until your brattiness is gone.”
“I’m not being a brat though.” She chuckles sticking her tongue out. Anthony slides near her mouth with his cock in his hand.
“Put that mouth to use and suck ange.” His hand in her hair was soft compared to what his and Mat’s other actions were. She practically melts when she reaches his blue eyes staring down into hers.
“Yes Daddy.” She breathes licking her lips.
“Good girl.” She whimpers taking him into her mouth. Behind her Mat spanks her watching her ass jiggle before he’s rubbing his tip up and down her slit. Tessa subconsciously tries to push back on his cock.
“Stay still and I’ll give you what you want.” Mat grunts. She bobs her head up and down on Anthony’s cock before going down all the way so he hits her throat. She gags but keeps down there, breathing through her nose and attempting to relax.
“Fuck…” Anthony trails off and Mat thrusts into her causing her to take Anthony impossibly deep. She pulls off with a gag, drooling dripping down her face. She takes a few deep breaths and Anthony is pushing down again. Her mind goes clear and she feels a haze start to form over her mind as she focuses on the overwhelming sensations between her two men. Mat somas his hard cock into her dripping pussy. She moans around Anthony’s cock causing him to thrust a little rougher in her mouth.
“Holy fuck that feels amazing… shit baby don’t stop.” He grunts gripping her hair in his hands. She hums lazily looking up at him through her lashes. She bobs her head and jerks what she can’t fit in her mouth and it isn’t long until he’s cumming down her throat. She swallows and keeps sucking before Anthony tries to take it out of her mouth. She whines, her mouth feeling empty.
“Aww does the poor baby not like having her pretty little mouth full.” She nods and Anthony takes pity on her letting two of his fingers slide into her mouth. She lets her eyes close and focuses on the sensations coursing through her.

1.     Selfies have been a very vital part of social media in my generation and the newer generations. However, I have never truly been one to immerse myself in this wave of selfie-taking. I rather like to take pictures with other people while doing activities for memories and safe keeping. However, at the beginning of the selfie wave, I did experiment with different poses and settings. I have had Snapchat and Instagram accounts for about 7 years, and I truly appreciate the different filters that they create. The most memorable one was the dog-filter on snapchat, which my friends and I would use constantly.
At the beginning when selfies were just gaining popularity, they were the medium for making friends. Taking silly and cute pictures with classmates or teammates were conversation starters. Sending selfies back and forth using different filters kept the friendships going. Nowadays when I’m keeping my Snapchat streaks up, I don’t rely on selfies. In fact, I don’t even use my face, opting instead for a black screen with a random gif on it. I have no attachment to selfies, rather I feel self-conscious when I take them.
2.     The most common pose associated with selfies is the extended arm attached to a tilted phone, which is focusing on a leaned-back head. The person is usually making a kissy or duck face, sometimes smiling or rolling their eyes. A peace sign can be thrown in with the free hand. This angle was accentuated with the emergence of selfie sticks. Currently, the selfies I take are right in front of my face, with both my head and phone un-tilted. There is not a single selfie of me without a silly filter. However usually, my selfies consist of only my forehead.
The social media platform of TikTok recently introduced a new method of selfie-taking that better accentuates your facial features. I don’t fully understand the angle that they described, but you are supposed to keep more distance between the camera and your face and then zoom in, which allows for more definition by keeps that intimacy. Currently, this is the angle that is most used in addition to the forehead angle.
3.     I do not believe that we have reached a plateau with filters. Humans are very creative and motivated. While most of the filters we have today are well established, and many are very similar, new ones are being thought up and created continuously. Most filters can be split into two categories, ones that emphasize your features and others that distort them. However, companies have also come up with other filters that add sunglasses and dog ears, games and questions, and different features like beards, tattoos, or colored hair.
While the filters that add dog ears and sunglasses will forever be classic and iconic, the direction that companies are taking today are mainly games and questions as well as altered features. Especially on TikTok, the games and questions are gaining popularity, such as those that wonder who your celebrity parents are. The altered features are also gaining popularity, as adding different eyeliners and changing hair colors can be seen a lot of TikTok. Snapchat also allows users to make their own filters and lenses, which can be accessible to the general public.

Headcanons for being a younger Avenger and mentoring Kamala
Kamala Khan x reader
warnings: avengers game spoilers, guns
a/n: so excited about this one; i made y/n just a bit older (and gn!) so that they’re in their mid-early teens during a-day! hope thats okie doke! reader has electrokinesis. this accidentally got really detailed
prompt: anonymous: “Hey there! Would you mind writing HCs for the Avengers Game about female reader being a young Avenger (around 17) and mentoring Kamala Khan?”
Tumblr media
you were just a kid yourself when you joined the avengers
and you were an inspiration to kids around the world
“does SHIELD think nothing of child labor laws?” -bruce
the avengers became your family
and seeing what you could do...they knew you could handle yourself
and then a-day happened
the day started off so perfect
and the kids went ballistic over seeing you
“y/h/n! look, it’s y/h/n!”
“can i get a picture?”
“hi, guys! of course you can!”
but there was one kid who stuck out among the rest
kamala khan
“you’re the one who wrote about the sewers, right? i freaking loved it! may i just say your art is amazing?”
“r-really?”
“oh, yeah! and the part where you had thor spin mjölnir to push water towards the sewer lizards so i could shock them? genius!”
she could not wait to tell abu about what you had just said
you obviously took a selfie with her and handed her a little pin with your own “icon” on it
but your world got turned upside down that day
the battle was one you’d never forget
and the fighting with your own teammates afterwards would haunt you for years to come
“what do you know, y/n?! you’re just a kid!” -tony
“oh yeah? im one of the only functioning members of this team!”
“everybody calm down. y/n makes a good point, but—” -nat
“thank you”
“...but there’s some stuff you should leave up to us. you really shouldn’t have to take on so much responsibility” -nat
“she’s right, y/n. this was our fault” -bruce
“are you kidding me?! i’m just as guilty as the rest of you, i’m an equal member of this team! for years we’ve dealt with this together, taken the blame together! what’s changed?”
“y/n...you saw what we did out there. that changed everything...” -bruce
you technically were an inhuman, just not terrigen-based
didnt matter to AIM, they took dr. pym for god’s sake
so you had to run, you were on your own for a while
a long while
you laid low for five years, most boring five years of your life
at least you still had your life, though. it just wasn’t what it used to be
but you got a message one day
“‘tiny dancer,’ huh? my moneys on either nat or tony. nah, tony would have chosen ‘rocket man.’”
you couldn’t be sure, maybe it was just a random shield agent...maybe hank pym? god, this was crazy
the message brought you to, uh, cap’s memorial statue
and there was a young girl arguing with a couple of boys...an inhuman!
you hopped in and saved her, she seemed scared
“hey, kid, you alright?”
“y/h/n? is it really you?”
she seemed vaguely familiar
“are you tiny dancer?”
“no, i thought you might be? they sent you here, too?”
there wasn’t much time to chat, AIM was onto you
you two unfortunately got split up for a minute, but you were practically raised by the notorious clint barton and natasha romanoff, and various other spies
yes, you planted a tracker on her
and met her at the bus stop!
“you found me?”
“that i did, kamala. see, i do remember you”
“that is so cool! i mean—not almost getting killed, or the guy with the big head...”
“what guy? you need to tell me everything”
the whole busride was a bit overwhelming. kamala explained the resistance clues, her powers, her undying admiration for the avengers, you name it
but it made you feel good to know that there were people out there that didn’t hate you
“so what was it like? being the teenage avenger?”
“uh, it was...it was really cool. i felt like i was one-of-a-kind. but sometimes people didn’t take me seriously, it was kind of aggravating”
“yeah, no one takes me seriously either...”
“you know, depending on how this all goes, i might be able to give you a few pointers”
“really?! that’d be great!”
once you got to utah...you saw the chimera
it brought back some bad memories, kamala could tell
“you okay?”
“me? yeah, im good. just thinking...okay, well, do you have a plan on how to get yourself across all of this?”
“actually, i do!”
it was kind of creepy in there, but when you laid your eyes on caps shield, you kind of broke
“do you hear something, what it that?”
“...hulk. kamala, you need to get out of here, i’ll catch up to you, i swear”
she didn’t leave in time, so she got to see the greener side of bruce. you chased him back and tried to get bruce back
meanwhile, kamala found AIM troops...oops
bruce cooled off and man was he doing rough
“y/n, is that really you?”
“yeah, its me. surprise. how long have you been the big guy?”
“too long...a few years”
“jesus, im sorry. i’ll be right back, though. some kid brought me here, i gotta go get her. you kinda scared her off”
she was passed out when you got to her
but bruce is a doctor, he’d figure it out
“i could give her a little shock to wake her up, you know?”
“oh, i know. just let her rest for a minute. she needs it”
“right...well im gonna take a look around, maybe go see what i left behind. i could power the place up, but we’re missing some parts to actually get this thing running. best i can do is lights and doors”
you turned the little things on and turns out did leave a decent amount of stuff in here
your first pair of pistols that nat gave you, the gigantic stein that thor gifted you for your 13th birthday, gadgets tony needed an “extra boost” for *bzzt*, a note from cap that just said “good luck, y/n, you’re going to do great!” you cant even remember what it was he was referring to. you just missed him
kamala walked in while you were shuffling around and cleaning the place up
“hey, dr. banner wanted me to come get you. is this your room?”
“that it is, and it’s a huge mess. this is literally all my belongings ever”
bruce had his plan and you just went along, helping kamala out as you go
“baby steps, kam, don’t want you to pass out. but don’t worry, happens to the best of us” -you
“really? you pass out too?” -kamala
“oh yeah, for sure. tell her bruce, remember that time we had thor overcharge me to literally make me an EMP? and tony was busy listening to music so he wouldn’t get out of the blast radius and his armor shut down? so he was out of commission and i had just collapsed from it all? good times”
“y/n, we thought you died” -bruce
this hc is so long omg — anyways you guys ended up finding tony and it was sort of entertaining but he kinda punched bruce and then hugged you
“you got so big”
“shut up, tony”
you kinda harbored some bad feelings since none of the avengers did anything to help you once they started rounding up inhumans (but you still missed them)
getting attacked again
“okay, kamala, remember what i said about baby steps. dont overdo it. i trust you with this!”
“thank you, y/n! uh—oh my god!”
aaaanyways you went to the ant hill to see hank and pick up some supplies, boy was it great to see some familiar faces, then back the the chimera you went to fix it all up
“can you hold that right there for me, kamala? thanks. i think that just about does it. now i have a surprise for you...your own room!”
you helped kamala get it nice and tidy while talking about each other’s lives, she really did remind you of yourself when you became an avenger. excited, scared, underestimated, all of that. and she begged you to share some mission stories, so you obviously did
“you know, if you stick around for a while, you’re gonna have some cool stories, too. maybe even a kickass costume.”
“oh! a costume, ive got that sorta covered. check it out. a burkini, muslim women wear it for swimming and stuff. my mom got it for me”
“love it. soon we’ll find you a fitting name and update the suit, but seriously, this was the perfect way to go. you look great”
“you think so? i don’t know if i feel that cool. maybe i should try something else?”
“if that’s how you feel, you don’t have to stick to it. you can experiment all you want! but i really think you did awesome on this. come on, pose with me! and hey, i like your pins.”
at this point, you’d do anything for kamala, she reminded you so much of yourself. you would have killed for a mentor your age back in the day.
natasha was in fact tiny dancer...called it
“oh, god, y/n. you’re all grown up...im sorry we left you alone. but if it makes you feel better, i always kept an eye on you”
“well, i kind of took on a protégé...she’s like your grand-protégé. kam, c’mere”
after thor finally came back, everyone started fighting again and ditched, it felt so familiar. but you couldn’t leave kamala behind, you swore to yourself that you couldn’t do that.
she was so good for this team
MODOK was defeated (by kamala herself) but there was so much left to do, tons of threats to extinguish, training to accomplish
“y/n, tony won’t turn his dad rock off! he overrode the speakers in my room”
“oh, it’s on. get chastity’s fabric dye and bleach pens. we’re gonna start some trouble”
she gave you a high five one time and nearly broke your arm
sending each other tiny hand memes
Tumblr media
“hey, ms. m, how’re your parents? doing okay without their favorite super-daughter?”
“my abu doesn’t stop texting me actually, says my family is super proud of me. it’s a nice change of pace”
you take her on covert missions for field training, it was Educational(tm)
*elevator music playing* “so...what do you want for dinner? i was thinking we could ask thor to barbecue”
sleepovers in her room that just turn into her showing you her superhero merch, listening to music, prank lists, sneaking off to the HARM room for hand-to-hand combat training and power experiments, thinking up new costume designs
“tip: you always need backup suits, you never know what you’re gonna run into out there. one time tony pushed me into a tower of paint cans and they spilled all over me. steve yelled at him for two hours afterwards. worst mission ever, except steve said ‘motherfucker’ and i have never recovered from the emotions of that day”
“wow, i wish i could have been there for that”
“don’t worry, kami, you’ll see some crazy ‘team bonding’ along the way”
she geeks out about captain marvel sometimes
“hey, i’ve got a book carol gave to me about ‘teens taking responsibility.’ you wanna read it?”
“is it any good?”
“i don’t know, i only read the first two pages”
you ended up having a true heart-to-heart with her after one mission when she made a mistake that nearly cost you guys the mission. you told her that not every mission is going to go perfect, each avenger had slipped up in the field, and she had just started, shes not going to be perfect
“i am literally always here if you need anything. i know what it feels like to be a teenager among legends, but trust me, you’ve made it this far and you’ve proven how much of a badass you are. i know you can take anything that gets thrown at you”
kamala said she makes vegan nachos and yeah she makes vegan nachos
you guys have to hide from the rest of the team when she makes them bc they eat ALL OF THEM
gaff (the SHEILD vendor) has you test his gear, you recommend gear to kamala
you were so excited to guide kamala on her journey of heroism

Leave No One Behind Masterlist // Main Masterlist
Chapter 8
“Hey you with the pretty face, welcome to the human race. A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin', and today is the day we've waited for.”  Mr Blue Sky by ELO
Tumblr media
 Ari woke early the next morning and he immediately could sense something wasn't right. For starters Simon wasn't curled on his head, not that he was complaining but it felt quite strange to feel him at the end of the bed and not all over the pillow. Speaking of the pillow, he noticed Hannah's head wasn't on it, right next to his, even before he opened his eyes. Why couldn't he hear her breathing? And what was that other noise? Just with that thought he bolted his eyes open only to find Hannah sat up in bed, coughing.
Shit.
His eyes quickly roamed the dark room, it was still dark outside, but he could just make out her bare back as she was sat up, her knees bent to her chest as she tried to stifle the coughs in the palm of her right hand.
"Hey, you ok?" Ari asked with his sleepy voice before clearing his throat.
Hannah nodded in response but continued to cough as she did so.
Ari shifted on the bed and sat up, gently moving so he could see her, ignoring Simon's grumble as he was jolted from his position by his feet from where he was watching Hannah, again. Ari glared at him. He and that dog were going to need to set some ground rules. Well basically just one; no grumbling at him while on his fucking bed. 
He heard Hannah chuckle softly at Simon's reaction and he reached out to rub her back. Damnit, she was warm to the touch, so he moved again to lay the back of his hand against her cheek.
"You’re hot, Firefly."
"There’s a joke in there somewhere, Lobo." she mumbled before breaking into a hacking coughing fit again. "Fuck, I feel like shit Ari."
She definitely sounded like shit too.
"Let me get you some water." Ari offered before hopping out of bed. He found his shorts and threw them on and then he headed over to the small dresser where there were a couple of bottles. He grabbed one with a swift movement and brought it back to her, twisting off the cap. Hannah took a drink under Ari's watchful eye, spluttering a little as she coughed again but she managed to drink half of it before she handed it back. "You must have gotten a cold." He smiled sympathetically at her. "Or some random tropical disease." she coughed again, just before sneezing.
"Nope. You got soaked in the rain yesterday, Firefly." he stated, a little smug at the memory of her wet clothes sticking to her body.
"I’m the doctor not you." she managed to state between coughs and then looked at him. "Besides, you don’t get colds from getting wet Ari, it’s a virus."
Ari chuckles while rubbing her back softly. "Alright, is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" "Drugs, Ari. I need some paracetamol and whatever else we have in the kit." Ari saw her scrunch her nose and she groaned. "Fuck."
"What?"
"The medical kit is in the office." "I’ll go fetch it sweetheart. You stay here." Ari offered, happy to be of use and take the reins. "I can’t Ari, I need to get back to my hut before anyone sees me…" and with that she set into another load of coughing and sneezing "...or hears me for that matter."
Ari pondered for a few seconds, noticing she was right as the first rays of sun were beginning to sweep through the window. "Then I’ll take you to your room and then I’ll go get the stuff."
She nodded "Can you pass me my dress?"
Ari picked it up from the back of the chair but turned to look at her "Han, it’s still damp." She groaned.
"Hang on…" he said before Hannah watched him disappear in the bathroom only to emerge from it a few seconds later with a towel in his hands "Wrap yourself in that for the time being."
"Yeah, cos that’s not gonna look suspicious."
"This whole thing is gonna look suspicious, Han. Stop being a pain in the ass and do as you're told." the natural leader in him commanded.
Grumbling, she took the towel, stood up and wrapped it around her before taking a shaky step. "Jesus."
"You ok?" Ari asked as he threw his shirt on.
"Just dizzy." Hannah replied as she stood put and rubbed her temples.
Ari rounded the bed concerned and in a quick movement hooked one arm under her legs, the other round her back beneath her shoulders. He was sure she was going to protest at the sudden movement and change of position but she gave a little sigh instead and relaxed into his arms, tucking her head into the crook of his shoulder and Ari thought that was clearly testament to how ill she was. 
He made his way to the door with Hannah in his arms and clicked his fingers at Simon who followed him.  He opened the door with one hand, peeking out and once he had checked the coast was clear he quickly and quietly made his way to her hut. Praying to God and all the saints he didn't run into someone coz, honestly, he had no fucking idea how he was gonna be able to explain him carrying a semi-naked woman bridal style from his hut to hers.
 Once he had reached Hannah's hut he stepped inside and closed the door behind him, taking a deep breath and letting relief wash over him before he set her gently on the bed. 
"That's it, sweetheart. Want me to tuck you in?"
Hannah shook his head while adjusting to the new position "Just pass me a cami and a pair of sleep shorts from the drawer."
He headed over and did as he was told, gently dropping her clothes onto the bed next to her.
"Can you manage or…" he asked, hands on his hips and nodding to the items of clothing.
Hannah smiled at his concerned face "You’re the expert at getting me undressed Ari, I’ll manage the other way round just fine."
He chuckled "Ok, I’ll be back in a moment."
Ari left her to it and headed to the main area. Once there he tried not to warn anyone of his presence by bumping into furniture as it was still fairly dark in that part of the resort. He carefully went into the office and turned on the light, locating the medical bag immediately and searched for the meds Hannah had asked for. Just a few seconds later he jumped out of his skin when he heard Max's voice.
"What are you doing?"
"Jesus, Max. You scared the shit out of me." he hissed, trying to buy some time to come up with a feasible excuse.
Max chuckled and then nodded to the box of pills. "You ok?"
"Just a headache. Needed some paracetamol." he said casually, avoiding visual contact with Max and looking at the pills in his hands instead.
Next thing he knew Max was handing him the water bottle in his hand. "Here I’ll get another."
And of course then he had to be watching him so Ari had to take 2 of the damned tablets himself before he managed to fob Max off, grabbing another 2 and heading back to Hannah’s hut once Max curiosity had been duly satisfied and he had watched him turn around and leave.
"What took you so long? Couldn't you find the bag?" Hannah blurted out when he saw him coming into her hut.
"I found something more than the bag. Don't ask." he said as he sat on the edge of the bed and handed the pills. "Here."
She frowned and sat up straight and reached for the water while he explained about his encounter with Max making Hannah chuckle and shake her head before breaking into another coughing fit.
"Are there any side effects to taking painkillers without being in pain?"
"Yeah, Lobo. Hair loss." Hannah deadpanned.
 "No need for sarcasm." he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Well, stop asking stupid questions." she quipped before taking the pills with a mouthful of water, wincing. “My throat feels like I’ve been swallowing glass." "Want me to arrange for you to stay in bed all day?" Ari asked, his hand falling to her knee.
"I’ll be fine in an hour or so, besides if I stay here all day I’ll be bored and there’s stuff to do and ..." she whined.
Ari scoffed and cut her off.  "Ok let me rephrase that, I’m gonna arrange for you to stay in bed all day."
"No, Ari, like I said, it’s boring." she insisted.
"I’ll come keep you company as much as I can." he tried to bargain, knowing full well she wasn't one for following orders she deemed stupid.
"Oh yeah? And what you gonna tell the others as to why you keep sneaking in here to see me?"
"That I’m coming to check up on my teammate." he rolled his eyes. "Yeah, like you did with my aerobics classes…when Rachel noticed and asked why you never checked on hers?" she asked, a wicked smile on her face.
"No, that’s….I didn’t…" he sighed. "Well, can you blame me?" he asked with a whiney voice.  Hannah laughed and he smiled "You weren’t exactly being discreet, Levinson"
"Ok, look, forget about that now. I’ll figure something out." he said as he leaned over to kiss her frowning when she pulled back.
"Yeah I wouldn’t do that if I were you."
"Yeah, good point. Although isn’t a cold contagious days before symptoms?" he cockily asked.
"Hark on you Dr Levinson."
"You know, Guy Thomas is technically a doctor, I mean he has a PHD so…" 
She laughed loudly which made her cough. "In fucking Anthropology!"
"Details…" he smiled broadly.
Hannah snorted and locked her eyes on his "You’re right though. Chances are you already got it." Ari chuckled. "Ok, I’m gonna go for my run before everyone gets up. You gonna be ok?" "Sure I’ll manage. I’ve lived alone for the last 4 years Ari, had plenty of colds…" Ari grimaced, he didn’t like to think about that. For some reason it made him a little upset though he knew it was illogical as she was a grown woman and a doctor nonetheless. "Just try and get some sleep. When they start asking where you are at breakfast I’ll use it as an excuse to come see you, tell them I’ll come find out."
"Make sure it’s you who comes, please." she pleaded as she got under the sheets and rested her head on the pillow.
"Of course it will be. I’m the boss, can do what I want."
She sat up again and gazed at him. 
"Don’t let Sammy come or I’m never leaving this hut again."
"Dramatic much?" he tried to joke. "I know him, he won’t let me out of bed for days." she said and Ari could read the concern in his eyes.
 "Neither would I given the chance, albeit for a much different reason." he quipped cheekily, trying to brush her concern away.
His eyes sparkled with satisfaction as he saw Hannah's jaw drop. She slapped his arm and broke into a coughing fit. "You’re an asshole Ari. You can’t say that when I can’t kiss you properly."
"Then I’ll say it again when you can." he said, rubbing her thighs over the covers
"Promise?"
"Damned straight it is."
Hannah grinned before leaning back on her pillow again "Go, before I climb you like a tree and infect you with my virus."
"Now that's an image I intend to dwell in all through the day, Miss." he said before kissing her head and getting up and walking to the door. "Thing is firefly…" and he turned to look at her, one hand on the door handle. “…you infected me 9 years ago."
"That is so lame!" she said as she threw a pillow at him "Go. Now."
He chuckled and stepped outside closing the door behind him.  Hannah then looked at the pillow and groaned. "Now I gotta pick that up."
As if on cue Simon trotted towards the pillow and flopped down on it, looking up at her.
"Ok, guess I don’t…" she shrugged
**** Ari was hoping his run would keep his mind occupied and help quiet the noise in his brain. He was worried about Hannah and though he was well aware it was probably only a cold and, yes, she was a fully trained doctor who knew exactly what she was doing, he still couldn't help but think about how poorly she had looked and sounded. 
Fuck it.
With a sigh he turned his Walkman off when he was still a mile or so away from the resort. He couldn't concentrate on what he was listening to and the headphones were constantly falling from his head due to his furious strides. He wasn't in the mood and every little thing in the universe was apparently conspiring to bug him. 
Damn, Ari. Are you listening to yourself? 
His inner voice slapping him on the back of his head was the final straw. He groaned and quickened his pace, longing for the moment the cold water in the shower would ease the stiffness he was feeling in his muscles and mind. 
"I thought you were ill." Max greeted him when he emerged in the main area after making it home and showering.
"I had a headache. Hence the painkillers. And guess what, they killed my pain. So here I am." he explained, a bit too harsh.
"Woah chill man." Max frowned as he raised both his palms as a peace gesture.
"I’m perfectly chilled." Ari huffed as he sat down on a chair.
The truth is she wasn't chilled, not even remotely. He knew there was nothing he could do and Hannah would be probably asleep once the effects of the pills had kicked in, but he was twitchy as fuck to go check on her. "You look worried Ari." Rachel stated. More as a warning of his conspicuous behaviour than as a real concern.
"Do I? Well I’m not. What’s for breakfast?" Ari asked, trying to put on a genuine smile on his face but failing considerably.
"Whatever you want. The guests don’t arrive until 11 so it's up to you what you want. There’s plenty of bread for toast and pastries in the pantry." Rachel replied, squinting her eyes at him.
"Ok, I’m gonna grab some coffee." he said as he got up, praying someone asked about Hannah soon coz he was now seriously worried. 
He was not only worried about her but also about acting cool when they would eventually ask. He wanted it over and done with as soon as possible coz he didn't know how much time he was going to refrain himself from snapping at someone or something. He grabbed his coffee and then an idea came to him. He poked his head back into the main room and asked if he should throw a few rounds of toast in for everyone, knowing if he made enough there’d be some left over and they would be bound to notice one of them was missing.
An instant later Rachel came in to help. They made the first batch in silence, his mind still racing, and as the second batch was in she turned to him. 
"So, come on, don’t bullshit me Ari. What’s going on?"
"What do you mean what’s going on?" he asked back while cursing at a piece of toast who was still too hot for him to grab.
"You’re twitchy. You and Hannah had an argument already?"
"What? No…what makes you think that?" 
Rachel looked at him with that seemingly expressionless look that was yelling cut the crap and Ari sighed. It was Rachel after all, he could trust her and it would do him good to blow off some steam with someone.
"She’s ill."
Rachel frowned before asking "What do you mean? Like bad ill?"
"No, it’s a cold but she’s feeling pretty rough." he explained as he grabbed the bread from the toaster and dropped it onto the plate. He felt relief as he uttered those words, explaining what was going on to another person had really helped him realise he really shouldn’t be making a big deal out of it.
"Ah. Ok. Want me to go check on her?"
"No, I told her I would when you all realised she hadn’t shown for breakfast…" he paused and then bit his lip "Look, can…can you just maybe ask about her out there? My nerves are on edge."
Rachel smiled "Sure, good look convincing Sammy to stay away."
"Actually, I was hoping you could help me with that." he asked somewhat shyly.
"How?"
"You’ll figure something out."  His shy request had morphed now into a wicked smile making Rachel roll her eyes at him.
"You owe me Levinson. I don’t like lying to him, it’s not fair." she conceded but waved her index finger at him.
"You don’t have to lie to him…just don’t tell him the truth."
"Where I come from that’s called lying, Ari."
"You know what I mean, Rach." he remarked as he flashed his signature cheeky smirk at her.
"Come on man, I’m hungry." Max's voice suddenly startled them both.
Ari seized the opportunity and gave her one last pleading look at Rachel and she groaned before pointing at him again.
"Fine, let's get this over with but I mean it. You owe me, big time."
"I know, and if it's any consolation I don’t like all the sneaking around either but until Han is ready to tell Sammy there’s not much I can do." he shrugged.
"Whatever." she said, grabbing one big plate and handing it to Ari "Take the toast out there, Romeo."
They headed back out of the kitchen, carrying the communal breakfast and Ari sat back down, a bit more collected this time.
"About time, what were you doing? Baking the damned bread?" Max whined, raiding the toast plate.
"You wanna eat that toast or wear it?" Hannah cut his protests.
"Woah, easy Rachel…what’s happened this morning, why is everyone so tetchy?"
Ari looked at Rachel and she understood. The sooner they get this over with the better but just as she opened her mouth to speak, Sammy cut her off.
"Where’s Hannah?"
Everyone looked at one another for a few seconds. The only thing that could be heard being Max munching his toast. Ari tried to hold back the relief sigh he was dying to exhale. Rachel wasn’t needed after all, he had to thank Sammy for that.
"I ain't seen her." Jake, who had been getting the matches for his tan ready, shrugged. "Or Simon actually, he’s normally here before she is…"
 "I’ll go see if everything’s ok with her." Ari offered, standing up.
 "I can go." Sammy frowned.
No. No. No. Ari froze and panicked for a few seconds and gave Rachel a meaningful look.
"Let Ari.” Rachel l blurted out before pausing. "Because of Simon…you know the dog doesn’t like you, and it will only put you in a bad mood if he starts growling and you’ll end up arguing with Hannah.”
Well, that had been bold but it seemed to have worked as next thing he knew Ari heard Sammy grumbling. "stupid little gargoyle."
"And that’s why he hates you. You insult him, you hurt his feelings." he told Sammy, trying not to seem too eager to fuck the hell out of the room.
They were all too focused on their own act to notice Max who was simply looking at them, munching his toast. He clearly wasn’t buying any of the shit Rachel was saying.  Whereas Jake was too engrossed in cutting the matches he had previously taken from the matchbox with a knife, his coffee long forgotten.
"It’s a dog Ari, he doesn’t know what I’m saying." Sammy continued grumbling.
"Well he clearly reads your body language then."
"Yeah…that’s true. He copies body language too." Max deadpanned, sitting back on his chair.
Ari did his best to keep a straight face, ignoring him but clearly hearing his sniggers. Rachel was the one to glare at him and he shrugged as he resumed eating his food.
Thankfully, Rachel then took charge of the situation and started explaining the schedule for the new guests that would be arriving a few hours later, Ari took the opportunity and stood up, heading out  for Hannah’s hut. Gently opening the door he saw Simon was snuggled around her head and she was dozing. He approached and sat on the edge of her bed and watched her for a few seconds before feeling her forehead. She was still warm and he sighed.
Simon moved his head and licked the back of Ari’s knuckles when he recognized him.
 "You looking after her pal?" he cooed at the dog and moved his hand to scratch under the dog's chin, "Good boy."
Simon wagged his tail and rolled over demanding more belly scratches from the hairy human that seemed to be sharing his mom's bed. Ari chuckled as he obliged, rubbing his pink and black spotty belly.
"Demanding little bastard." he softly whispered so as not to disturb Hannah's sleep. But it was too late. With a little sigh she stirred at the movement, blinking.
"Hey, how you feeling firefly?"
"Still crappy." her voice came out hoarse. 
"Yeah, you’re still warm. You should rest in bed till you’re feeling better." he ordered softly.
"Yes Dr Levinson… or Dr Thomas, whatever." she said before yawning and Ari chucked. "How was it out there?"
"Not bad. I asked Rachel for help but it wasn’t needed, Sammy asked before she could."
Hannah nodded and shuffled down a little in the bed, coughing again. Ari waited until she was done and he then leaned down over her, one hand either side of her shoulders as she was led on her side. 
"Ok sweetheart. I’m gonna go back out now but once they know I’ll sneak to see you whenever I can." 
 "I’m just gonna sleep Ari, I don’t need babysitting." she grumbled.
Ari raised an eyebrow playfully. "Ok, so you don’t want me to take care of you or keep you company? That’s fine, I get it…" he mocked a complaint, a soft smile on his face.
"Shut up." Hannah groaned.
"And now you don’t want to hear me either." he chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Get some rest and shout if you need anything." and he pondered for a moment before speaking. "On second thoughts, just don't shout. Your voice is terrible today..." and he stopped when he saw her mouth drop open "You know what I mean, Firefly."
"Ari?" Hannah asked as he made to stand up. "Yeah?" "I could use some orange juice." she beamed at him before sneezing for the umpteenth time.
"Ok, I’ll bring some for you." Ari wandered back to the main area, all the way thinking how he was going to pull his next stunt. Just act natural, Levinson. You got this, he thought as he entered the main area, his hands falling to his hips as he walked in.
"Where is she?" Sam asked once he spotted Ari was back.
"She’s sick Sammy." and he held his hand up to stop Sammy’s impending babble. "It’s just a cold."
Sammy frowned. "A cold?"
"That’s what she said." He shrugged and turned to walk to the kitchen. "She asked for some paracetamol and orange juice." he said, ignoring the fact Max was narrowing his eyes suspiciously after he caught Ari with the pills before. He opened the fridge, considering if it would be good for her to drink cold liquids, and poured a glass of orange and went back into the main dining area just as Sammy walked in from the office with the box of pills and gestured to the orange juice.
"Want me to take it? I can examine her."
"She’s a doctor too, Sammy." Jake snorted.
Ari was getting more flustered by the minute. He just wanted to get rid of Sammy and get back and check on her again. Damned it. He knew he was being ridiculous but she really didn’t look well at all and if he had his way he’d be curled up besides her all day. He would trade posts with Simon on the spot. He looked at Rachel as a last resource, silently asking her to take the reins. 
Rachel took a deep breath and turned to Sam. "Sammy, she won’t want her brother fussing." She then turned to Ari. "Take her some toast too in case she feels like eating something." she said while putting a few slices from the large plate on the table onto a smaller one. "Tell her I’ll check up on her later and grab her laundry."
Thank you Rachel.
"I bet Simon is eating that toast." Max quipped.
Jake chuckled. "That’s a point, should we take care of him today?"
Ari shook his head. "He was curled up on the bed with her, looked pretty comfy. I’ll take him for a walk if he wants to go but to be honest I don’t think he’ll leave her."
“Unless it’s you.” Max quipped.
“What do you mean? Ari asked.
“Simon is conveniently deaf unless you or Cracker are talking to him.” Max grinned “You’re like his parents, it’s cute.”
Ari rolled his eyes and with that he headed back out, down to her hut. God, he was sweating already and he had showered less than an hour before. Simon looked up when Ari got in the hut. Hannah was asleep so he placed the orange juice, toast and pills on her bedside table before leaning to kiss her head.
"Sleep tight, my Firefly." he whispered as he straightened up and looked at Simon. "You coming buddy? Let’s get you some food and go for a walk, huh?"
Ari watched the dog look at Hannah, then him and then back to Hannah again, hesitating. Sammy could say whatever he wanted, but that dog did understand what they said to him. No one was gonna convince him otherwise.
"She’ll be ok pal." Ari rolled his own eyes at himself when he realised he was explaining to the fucking dog. But Simon was proving his point as he stood up and walked down the bed, jumping off the side. Ari saw him stretch and wag his tail as he headed out, Simon at his heels. 
*****
A few hours later Rachel went to Hannah’s hut and knocked on the door, walking in after Hannah told her to do so. Rachel found her sat up in bed and thought Ari, though being a painful drama queen, was right. She looked awful. Her nose was red, her eyes looked tired but at least she was reading.
"How are you feeling?"
"A little better, thanks. I had a good sleep and the meds seem to have worked their way into my system." she explained and then she paused. "What time is it by the way? I can’t find my watch." she asked Rachel as she scanned her bedside table and drawers again.
 "Maybe you left it in Ari’s hut…I mean if you slept there last night…" Rachel offered, cocking an eyebrow.
Hannah looked at her and sighed, rolling her eyes.  There was no point in even denying it and she wasn't feeling strong enough to either. "How much do you know?" "Well from what the pair of you have told me and the fact his tee was mixed in with your laundry, I’d hazard a guess at all of it." "Ari’s shirt was..? Shit!" Hannah groaned.
"Yup, shit indeed. You’re lucky I spotted it before your brother did. Thankfully it was next to a pile of your panties and he wasn’t looking." Rachel chuckled at Hannah's mortified expression before continuing. "Then there’s also the fact that the dress you were wearing yesterday was on the chair in his hut. I washed that too, you can thank me later, or we can talk about how his bathroom was missing a towel and curiously enough there’s one that seems to have appeared on the floor by your bed. Your pick."
Hannah groaned again and rubbed her face down her hand.
"By the way it was the shirt he was wearing for dinner the night he came home." Rachel winked at her.
"Yeah I know…he left it here and I forgot I threw it in with my stuff." "You two had yourselves a welcome home party, huh?" Hannah laughed at Rachel's wriggling eyebrows and coughed a little. "Don’t be so nosey."
"Look, I’m happy for you two, I really am. And I love to see you happy, you deserve it but…well, Max suspects something and it’s only a matter of time before Sammy and Jake figure it. Especially if Ari is as shit at keeping a cover as he seems to be. He was a wreck this morning."
"A wreck?" Hannah asked, surprised. "I’ve got a damned cold, what’s he so fretted about?" "Well according to him you looked really bad and were burning up, moments from death…you know that type of thing. I had to smack some sense into him in the kitchen before he blew it with the rest." 
Hannah rolled her eyes. "He’s such a drama queen."
"When it comes to you he is. You should have seen him. Shittiest Mossad agent ever." Rachel mocked him.
Hannah laughed again and, as usual that morning, her laugh was punctuated by coughs.
"Luckily Jake is too focussed on his tan to notice and Sammy…well Sammy is oblivious and to be fair probably doesn’t even want to even consider anything like that so…"
Hannah pondered what she had said for a minute and looked at her. "You think we should come clean? I mean Ari said he would happily tell everyone but I’m not sure if I can handle Sammy already."
"That’s up to you. But the longer you leave it, then surely the harder it's gonna be?" Rachel smiled at her, sympathetically.
Hannah rubbed her eyes. "I don’t think I can do this until I feel better, and then it’s my birthday next week and don’t want anything to spoil it."
"I can’t answer Hannah, I can’t tell you what to do." Rachel patted her leg.
"I’ll speak to Ari about it." she mused and Rachel laughed.
"What’s so funny?" "That man will do whatever you tell him to do. I know that, you should know it by now." Hannah shook her head, though Rachel may be right that was not what she needed at that moment.  "I don’t want him to just do what I say, just want him to help me make a decision." She looked at Rachel and then grinned "I see you did a pretty good job covering the marks on your neck, unlike yesterday."
Rachel blushed. "You saw them?"
"Yes." And the grin on Hannah’s face turned into a grimace.  "And I don’t want to think about it. He’s my brother."
"Ari told you?"
Hanna nodded.
"Bastard."
"I’d already figured it out. I told them ages ago the pair of you were…you know, or at least there was something going on. He was like a bear with a sore head when you were on leave." Hannah explained
Rachel squinted her eyes at her. "Like you were when Ari was gone?"
Hannah shrugged, to be fair Rachel was right, the Navons were pretty shitty at concealing their feelings. And speaking of concealing?  "FYI that concealer on my desk is pretty good if you need to borrow it."
Rachel stared at her blankly and Hannah swept her hair to the side to show her the now fading bruises Ari had given her the other evening and Rachel snorted. 
" Wild Ari, huh?"
"You got no idea." Hannah smirked mischievously.
"Pity Sam is your brother. We could have traded stories." Rachel shrugged amused.
"Don’t get me wrong Rach, I’m happy you’re with him. He needs someone in his life that’s for sure but…yeah, no. I’d rather not listen to them…but if you need to talk hey, I can pretend you’re talking about Chef Aziz…"
At that the pair of them burst out laughing and Hannah had another coughing fit just as Sammy walked into the hut.
"What are you two laughing at?" he asked as he glanced at Hannah. "You feeling better, Han?" "Loads. Rachel is great company." she said, raising her eyebrows at Sammy who went immediately red and cleared his throat. "Need some water Sammy?" Rachel who was sitting on the edge of the bed slapped Hannah’s leg through the covers and mouthed to her Don’t be mean.
Hannah shook her head and looked around, allowing her brother to collect himself. "Hey, where’s Simon by the way? He bailed on me…"
"He was with Ari. They went for a walk then down to the diving hut and then Ari was going out with Jake to prep the tour route for tomorrow." Sammy explained.
 "Has Simon gone on the boat with them?" Hannah frowned.
 "Yeah, why?"
 "I thought he only went diving because he wanted to be with me." she pouted. "He’s been stuck to Ari like glue all day." Rachel confirmed.
 "He even ignored the new group of tourists." Sammy scoffed.
"Judas." Hannah grumbled, folding her arms.
****
3 days Hannah was in bed laid up, and Ari hated it. He’d popped in as much as he could, stealing half an hour or so here and there to lay with her, until Sammy pulled him up at one point over lunch on the second day.
I’m the doctor, she’s a doctor…I don’t see why you have to be checking up on her all fucking day.” Sammy pouted.
“Because you’re busy with the guests.” Ari reasoned “I’m the manager so I can just float about. Besides, it hasn’t been all fucking day, I’ve been to check on her like 3 times to take her some water and something to eat, that’s it.”
Nevertheless, he backed off after that. On the 4th day Hannah eased back into light duties so Ari managed to spend some time with her during the day as but he continued to sleep in his own hut to allow her to sleep properly to fully recover and also to avoid further suspicion as he had also developed a little sniffle himself and was running out of excuses to the rest of the team as to what it was.
But all this meant it was nearly a week since they’d last managed a night together, and it had left him a total needy bastard.
One morning he arrived at the main area of the resort after he’d been talking to a few guests who had asked him for ideas of what to do in Port Sudan. He headed into the main rooms, looking for Hannah, mentally ticking off where she could be. She wasn’t with Jake and Sammy as they were out diving, she wasn’t with Rachel and Aziz helping set up for lunch and Max…well he had no idea where Max was at all. He stood pondering for a moment when he spotted Simon trotting out of the office and he gave a grin.
Bingo.
Hannah was looking through the filing cabinet in front of him as he stepped into the room, silently. He took a moment to appreciate her, taking in her long legs right from her bare feet up to the hem of her pale, strapless blue sundress which hung mid-thigh. It curved neatly over her ass and hips trailing the curve of her waist up to her shoulders which were bare, hair pulled into a messy pony tail, halter neck of her bikini tied at the nape of her neck.
Fuck this, it had been far too long. And he was horny as hell. The damned world could wait.
He shut the door with his foot and she jumped slightly, turning to face him but before she could register what was happening his lips were on hers, the kiss demanding as his hands held her cheeks, tongue finding its way between those soft pillows, sliding forcefully against the roof of her mouth. She let out a soft moan and her hands moved directly to the ties on his swim shorts. His lips curved into a smirk at her demanding nature, the fact she wanted him just as much was getting him even more worked up, and she pulled back to look at him a little, her fingers undoing the string easily as his hands slid to her waist, yanking her even closer so their pelvises were flush and she could feel his arousal pressing into her stomach.
“Stop smirking.” She mumbled, and he chuckled a little, his nose brushing hers “Cocky bastard.”
“You want cocky?” he muttered, his lips brushing hers, the feather-light touch sent a shiver down her spine as his mouth slid to her jawline and that spot on her neck just behind her ear. “I’ll show you cocky Firefly.”
His lips crashed to hers again as he pivoted them away from the cabinets and towards the desk at the side of the room, his movements effortless as she gave into his directions completely. Submission had never been her strong point, but when it came to Ari she was weak and now was no exception. She was weak to his touch, his mouth, his every damned action as she allowed him to man handle her, his hands gliding up her back to her neck, fingers of one grasping at the nape as he held her face to his, his mouth dominating hers.
In a quick, almost forceful movement he spun her round, his mouth trailing open mouthed kisses down her neck to her shoulder, moving to the other side to repeat the action and she let out a low keen of delight.
“Shh.” He stopped, what he was doing and Hannah stilled, her breathing deep. Once she’d obeyed he picked up where he had left off, his hand sliding up over her covered breasts, palming them in his large hands, letting out a gently sigh of his own as he felt her nipples peak through the material.
“Ari…we can’t…” She mumbled, suddenly coming to her senses as she heard voices pass by the reception desk “There’s people outside…”
“I don’t care.” He whispered into her hear, his right hand gently sliding back7 up her neck, fingers flexing over her smooth, delicate throat “You can be quiet, right?”
“I…” he cut her off as he tilted her face to his, swallowing her protests with another filthy kiss, his other hand moving down, rucking her dress up, the pads of his calloused fingers tracing a slow path up her inner thigh. He gently brushed over the spot between her legs and a soft growl rolled in the back of this throat as he could feel her arousal through her bikini bottoms. He released her mouth, his lips staying millimetres away from hers “You’re fucking soaked baby girl”
Hannah couldn’t find the words to reply. She was putty in his hands, and happy to let him take control. All truth be told she was aching for him too, and although this hadn’t been going on long in the grand scheme of things, the way he did make love to or fuck her had her craving for his touch whenever she could get it. She let out a gasp as his fingers brushed her bottoms to one side, skating her slit as he found her nub and began to coax at her expertly. She bit her lip, hard, the taste of copper flooding her mouth as she found herself desperately trying to control her noise.
Releasing her throat, Ari’s other hand gently pressed at the base of her spine, bending her forward a little over the desk and her hands splayed flat against the wooden surface sending a few papers floating to the floor, her check pressed to the cheap oak. Ari moved her bikini to the side, and with one hand still on her back he used the other and gave himself a few strokes, before he lined himself up and sank into her.
“Fuck…” She hissed between gritted teeth as he pulled back, sinking straight back in again, his eyes focussed on the spot they were joined, watching himself move in and out. His thrusts were slow, deliberate at first, and his eyes flicked to Hannah’s face as her head raised from the desk, tilting back slightly. He saw her jaw slacken and in a flash his hand reached out, palm clamping over her mouth.
“Gotta be quiet sweetheart…” he grunted out, his other hand gripping her shoulder so he could pull her back onto him and he picked up the pace, fucking her with desperation, like a man starved.
The sound of skin slapping skin, her muffled moans and his own low hisses filled the room as he continued his assault on her spot, his cock dragging against her walls again and again. It was quick and dirty, and before long Hannah could feel herself unravelling. Ari felt her too, the tell-tale fluttering of her clamping down on him signalling she was close.
“Nearly there baby?” he asked, even though he knew the answer and she gave a quick nod, his fingers flexing over her mouth. Releasing the grip on her shoulder he reached around, found her clit and she felt the teasing of his thumb and forefinger as he rolled it between them, his chest pressing to her back, mouth nipping at her ear. With a shudder, the world faded to nothing but a bright, white light and she came, her groan stifled by his hand as she bucked back, eyes fluttering shut, knees trembling as she went limp over the desk. Releasing his hold on her mouth he grabbed her hips, his own snapping back and forth with enough force to jolt the desk slightly, causing it to scrape over the floor as he felt his balls contract and he came inside her, hard, and it was all he could do to keep himself from yelling out.
“Fuck…” he mumbled, his hips slowing to a stop as his head fell forward a little, his breathing deep, T-shirt sticking to him as sweat coated his entire body. He took a moment before he stepped back and looked down as Hannah pushed herself up, his hands gently pulling her up by her hips helping her to stand.
“Cocky enough?” he quipped as he straightened his pants whilst she turned to face him, her cheeks flushed. She reached up and pulled her pony tail free, shaking her hair out whilst she shook her head, grinning at him.
“One word for it.” She arched an eyebrow as she re-tied her hair and squirmed a little, feeling his release dribbling down her inside leg “And now I need to go change.”
“I thought bikini bottoms were supposed to be waterproof.” He chuckled, pulling her in for a quick kiss.
“You’re an ass hole.” She mumbled, before she pulled away, patted his chest and opened the door. The sound of the guests outside grew louder as the flow of fresh air filled the room, well, fresher seeing as it was fucking hot out there too, and with a last glance over her shoulder she smirked and left.

Haikyuu! Virus AU (Random/Reader) Part 1
“I don’t fear the dark itself, but what may lurk within it.”
Warning: Blood, Gore, Character deaths and trauma
Part 2: link
Tumblr media
Yamaguchi loathed the inky room of which he sat in. The only source of light that gave him some comfort was the natural light of the moon. Since the power in the city was out you could hear the wind blowing or the soft barking of dogs. He could barely make out the outline of team Nekoma’s manager, Y/n Shibayama. She was already knocked out as soon as her head hit the makeshift pillow. While he was wide awake, and sort of jealous that she could just sleep like everything was fine. He can’t stay mad at her for too long since her school lost their middle blocker, So Inuoka. Their team captain hasn’t been the same since. Not even a couple hours ago they too had lost another member of their group. 
Ennoshita screams still wrecked his mind and the smell of rotting flesh was forever inscribed in his nose. It really should have been him who went in that trench by himself. He was the one to point out the food truck and even made a small plan to gather the canned goods. Ennoshita and him had a little dispute on who would go and by the time he turned his head to give his side to Daichi, Ennoshita was already marching down the steep hill. A couple of seconds of arguing, before he heard the sharp screech, loud enough to pierce his ear drums. The next thing he knew, Suga and Yaku were rushing down the hill to try and save him. They stopped half way before running back, a herd surrounded Ennoshita in under a minute leaving little to no gaps for escape or retrieval. 
He knew deep down that it was his fault even if the others told him that there was nothing that could have been done. Yamaguchi knew that if he kept his mouth shut Ennoshita would still be alive, yelling at his second year teammates and patting us first years on the head. He tried everything to get his mind off the details, the screams and the stench. Yamaguchi’s mind even makes up certain info to scar his psyche.
Ennoshita wasn’t the only causality. At the very beginning of the outbreak, which to him felt like years, but in reality it was really a few weeks. Karasuno, Nekoma, Fukurodani, Ubugawa and Shinzen planned a last get together for the graduating third years. They all met at the training camp to play volleyball, visit Tokyo and to gain a few memories before they graduate. Really sunny that, but it wasn’t as hot, mostly a comfortable warmth that hugged his whole stature. 
When it started the Yamaguchi and some of the other first years were gallery gazing at the various window shops. Yuki Shibayama was buying a couple sticks of dango for his sister, Tsukishima made a small remark of him being a real sister boy. Haiba at the time seemed to be annoying a very displeased Teshiro. A small and weak yell was heard, however it was quickly brushed off due to the large crowd. Yamaguchi stopped at a food stall that sold fries, even though they weren’t soft as he wanted them, they still tasted pretty good. Hinata and Kageyama were arguing about something. Yachi stood in the middle to make them stop their yelling since they started to draw a small crowd. Another scream echoed this time a bit more heavier. The noise left his heart beating a bit faster; it sounded kind of. . . primal. Before he could react another yell followed by a wave of screeching rang throughout the air. The howling caused even the duo to shut up for once. 
He froze in place as a girl who looked no older than thirteen, a middle schooler was pinned down a lady. Her shrieks sent shivers down his spine, her dog bit the neck of the lady who fell off to the side trampled by oncoming people. The dog licking the girl’s cheek in a loving manner didn’t sense the sudden change in his owner. Her small frame was on him in a second tearing fur and flesh off his yelps and whine would fall on death ears. He managed to escape, but the large chunk left a noticeable hole in his side. Yamaguchi felt useless in that moment, his feet glued to the very dry cement he stood on. He turned to stare at Tsuki who was too engaged in his phone to notice what was transpiring around him. Yamaguchi's hand reached out for his friend, however in a split second Tsukishima was yanked from behind by a man, who looked extremely ill. Everything played in slow motion as the man bit Tsukishima on the neck and in complete shock elbowed the man square in the face. Clenching at the wound to dull the jarring pain.
Blood flowed down his neck and coated his white shirt, his headphones ripped off his ears hitting the pavement with a harsh smack. Yamaguchi remembered running to aid his best friend, dropping the fries in the process, his mind running faster than his legs and before he could even inch forward the same man and a woman gripped Tsukishima and tore his skin from his flesh. His gut wrenching screams through terror into his heart. Witnessing his childhood friend being eaten alive was a pill he tried swallowing, but soon regurgitated it back up. Throw up ran down his chin as Kageyama shoved him forward making him trip on ground beneath him. Yamaguchi noticed Hinata yelling at a very dumbfound Yachi, she stood there frozen, shaking and stunned by the madness happening around her. Everyone knew she was a very anxious and scared teenage girl, even suppressing a scream when she met the captain from Ubugawa again. 
Hinata’s pleading fell on deaf ears as Yachi stared off into the chaos, her mouth slightly shifting like she was mumbling under her breath. He shouted at her as well, but Kageyama pulled him again, cutting him off half way. Yachi was lifted from her stupor the moment someone else bumped into her. She ran off so fast in the crowd shrieking before even Hinata couldn’t grab her and before he could run off to catch up with her Kageyama snatched him up from the back of his shirt. They sprinted through the thick crowd and with luck on their side made it back to the camp and collapsed on the grass from exhaustion. He took notice of the other first years slowly arriving, a dazed Inuoka clutched at his side. Haiba guided him down to the ground and ran inside. Tears fell on the back of his hands and they streamed down his face like a water spout. He lost two of his friends in less than thirty minutes that day and it wrecked him.
It sounds so much like the beginning of a movie more than anything. Even the part of when we thought everything was okay Inuoka transformed into one of those sick creatures. He tore out the throat of Nekoma’s team coach. Coach Ukai with the help of Daichi and Kuroo shoved the reanimated Inuoka out. No one talked as we listened to the moans and screeches constantly banging at the locked doors. 
Yamaguchi snapped himself out of his depressing thoughts as a soft rustle startled him from the dark corner of the room. 
“Go to sleep. I can feel your depressing aura from here.” Konoha grumbled.
“S-sorry.” His face grew warm from embarrassment.
Konoha groaned as he sat gazing over at one of his teammates. Washio was still sound asleep as Konoha shifted out of his own makeshift bed. “Can’t sleep?”
“Yeah, my mind’s running faster than a rabbit right now.” Konoha nodded strutting across the room to my futon, sitting down on his rump and leaning on his head on his knee. “Sorry, that I woke you up.”
“Ya know it’s nearly morning, so don’t worry about it.” Yamaguchi just nodded. “Let’s just keep it down. I really don’t wanna hear Washio complain about us keeping him up.”
“Y-you don’t have to stay up with me. You don’t know when you can sleep peacefully again, ya know.”
“Nah, it’s fine already awake now and I don’t think I can force myself too either.” He gingerly smiled back at his senior. The two young men stayed up for the rest of the night mostly talking about anything that would keep their minds off their dead friends. They yammered on about family members and past friends that still lingered from childhood. Konoha mentioned his older brother and younger sister, but soon switched the topic. Yamaguchi talked about his mother, father and his grandmother who makes his fries extra floppy for him. The memories of sitting in his living room under the kotatsu with Tsuki. The air surrounding them would usually be scented with whatever his grandmother was cooking at the time. It really made him think about some of the embarrassing situations he was in with some family members. Now he kind of wants to wake up to that familiar smell of home cooked meals and laughter.
The conversations waived from school life, hobbies to old crushes. Yamaguchi had opened his mouth, but quickly closed it, he knew it was only a crush. But, knowing that the girl he liked was presumably dead made him suffer a wave of guilt. Konoha on the other hand was shyly gazing behind himself. 
“You know, I kind of have or may have developed a small crush on their manager. During my first year, we met Nekoma for the first time. Her cheeks were so plump that they bounce when you pinch them.” His facial expression stayed the same, however his cheeks were heavily flushed. “She probably doesn’t like me in that way, and that’s fine. I just don’t want it to be weird.”
“I heard that confessing can make you feel better. Maybe, I don’t really have that much experience in this or any experience for the matter.” Yamaguchi shrugged.
Konoha tore his gaze from the small frame hidden under the thin covers. “Maybe, but when shit settles down I’ll do it. Right now, seems like a very bad time.”
“Yeah, maybe that’s the better option.”
Konoha glanced around the room, seeing that the room was being illuminated by the morning sun. “Guess we’ve been talking for a while now.” Stretching, the sound of joints cracking invaded their ears, “So, wanna come with me on morning prep?”
“Yeah, sure.” 
 So, the day starts over. The endless cycle that now fills Yamaguchi’s life starts anew.

Ormond is home to the killers The Legion. their leader shall appear in efforts to get close to the newest survivor. however, none of them knew how turning the situation would become.
- ship: frank morrison x reader (gender neutral)
ع˖⁺ ☁⋆ ୭ 🕊.⋆。⋆༶⋆˙⊹
you took a big inhale of the cold winded air and tried calming yourself down. being it your first trial you were scared out of your mind. what happens if you die? is that it forever? will marks be left on your body? do you even have the skills to make it out alive? so many thoughts in such a short amount of time. thankfully, you were next to your teammate David King. the tall brute like man was for the most part calm and silent but kept a very protective feeling close to him. he signaled you over to a generator he was working on, though you were very hesitant on joining him on it, he assured you that you’d do fine and all you needed to do was really focus. you trusted him and started working on the generator. over time it started getting easier to repair. David finished it and quickly told you to get out of the area. he split off from you and ran the opposite way. you didn’t understand why he left but figured this is your time to really get an idea of how these trials are. now you were completely alone and in a windy snow storm.
꘎♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡꘎
the winds really started to pick up after the first generator was fixed. the air became very crisp and cold from the snow, the ground becoming crunchier the more you walk on it. however you had spotted a wooden cottage that looked like a good place to possibly hide in and at least it will get you out of the snow storm. you wrapped your sweater around your body and mouth as the weather declined in warmth quicker and quicker. you decided to start running to help boost the warmth back in your body and allow yourself to get to the cottage faster. when you got to the cottage, you suddenly felt a presence behind you and heard rapid breathing. “ We need to get in here come on!” the unfamiliar voice said before shoving you into the cottage. “h-hey!” you said back to the mysterious person as they continued to shove you. “the killers coming this way we need to hide in this locker! let’s go or we both die” he said in an assertive tone. you really didn’t have a choice here, you could either stay out in the cottage and get murdered or you could get in this locker with this random person. you figured it must’ve been another survivor you just missed meeting before hand. you got into the locker after the other survivor entered. “so what exactly are we doi-“ “shhhh shh shh” you were quickly cut off with a shush and a finger to your lips. “do you hear that?” instead of hearing the whisping wind blowing all you could hear was an enormously loud heartbeat. you got closer to the survivor incredibly fearful, hoping the rumors of killers being able to smell your fear weren’t true. you closed your eyes and just hoped the heartbeat would soon leave. in quick time it surely faded away and you let out a sigh. “is it gone?” you asked, looking towards the survivor, unable to see the whole survivors face. “yeah i think so.” through the lined of the locker, little light peaked in only visible enough to paint a picture of the mouth of this other survivor. “so, what’s your name? you look new” “oh um my name is (x), i am very new to all of this. i actually thought you may be new as well since i don’t think we’ve been properly introduced yet.” you saw a smile creep onto the survivors face. “you know i dont think we have been properly introduced, the names Frank.” you couldn’t tell if the breeze was actually getting chillier or if it was this dudes creepy grin. “(x), do us a favor and peak out the locker to see if the killers really gone” he was still smiling when he requested this which struck you as very odd but maybe he was just a weird guy. you faced the locker and peaked out and saw nothing. “i don’t see it, i’m gonna open the door” “good idea” as you were slightly opening the door you were once again pushed, this time landing on the floor. “what the hell!” you slowly turn your back to face the locker once more only now the survivor who was previously not visable now had a bloody smiling mask on. that’s when the heartbeat came back.
꘎♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡꘎
“o-oh my god...” you whispered as you tried crawling backwards away from the killer. “well now we’ve been properly introduced! time to decide, do you wanna reeeeaaallly piss me off and make me kill you for fighting back or do you wanna make this easy peasy and let me just kill you without the pissed off part?” he turned his head looking at you, bloodied smile still cheerful as ever. in panic you turned back around to try and get yourself up quickly since there was a pallet behind you. as you attempted to getup however, frank decided to grab your leg, tripping you as a result of you staying down. he started walking towards you saying all kinds of wicked things. it was his way of riling himself up as well as provoking your fear so his high would last. as you attempted for your second time to get up he once again tripped you. bending down to you and getting ready to stick his knife in your back. “jesus christ do you not learn? so fucking stupid” he said to you. “get the fuck off me!” you kicked his stomach pushing him off you but in the process skinning your leg across his knife.”heh” he scuffed, getting back up and seeing your blood on his knife. the blood does things to killers and puts them in a fury, or better for frank’s case, a frenzy. as you got up you started running away trying your best to make it over to the pallet fast, frank was already in frenzy mode. his speed increased and he was out for more blood. he caught up so close to you and when he went to go swing his knife, you smacked him out of frenzy by a pallet. “fucking BITCH” frank called out. he destroyed the pallet as you ran away, losing track of your blood. to your fortune there was a survivor close by that was able to heal you up. she said her name was Claudette and how she was a studious botanist and was trained to help heal. when you asked her how much more the team has to do in order to escape she gave you a brief puzzled face. “we’ve already completed mostly everything, i think the last two are finishing the last generator up. how did you not notice, were you being chased or just not doing anything?” you coughed up at the direct question and said “yeah i guess you could say it was a chase, i didn’t realize it had lasted for that long though.” all of a sudden the last generator was popped and a loud noise ran across through the whole map. “come on let’s go open an exit gate and get out, this place is too cold” she says. you follower her along to go and find the exit gate.
꘎♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡꘎
there was one last attempt made by frank to try and get more of (x’s) blood. it seemed far richer and more exciting than anyone else’s blood, the fear you also held close to him was mesmerizing. never had he met a survivor to drive him this crazy. however all the survivors had left before frank could stick his knife into any. from that day forward though frank made it his new goal that if he ever saw (x) in another trial, he would really commit to the chase and not let you go. you became the thing he thought of most and he was perfectly fine with that. however next time, he’ll find every opportunity to get you alone into a trap again. you have become his prey, and shall the predator hunt once more.
꘎♡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━♡꘎
AN:/ hi hi so this is my first writing piece 👉👈 i’m kinda proud of it but i hope you all like it and if you have any requests feel free to send some :)

Closet Conversation
Tim and Kon have had a thing going for a little while now--a friends-with-benefits kind of things. But Tim isn't sure he can't keep up the pretense of only friendly feelings towards Kon. So things start to come out... That's basically it.
Read on AO3
Read on Tumblr below the cut
Tim found himself hating Kon just a little bit when the Kryptonian finally pulled completely away and didn’t seem even nearly as out of breath as he was. Sweat made Tim’s face damp and he willed his arm not to swipe at his forehead, chest still heaving.
Kon grinned at him—teeth blindingly white and lips still swollen—as he began to reach for his costume pieces.
“I think I have a new favorite room here,” he said with a wink.
Tim pushed down the emotions—and arousal—that evoked and rolled his eyes.
“If every place we did anything like this in ended up as your favorite room, half the Tower would be your favorite.”
Kon raised and wagged his eyebrows.
“Exactly.”
Tim scoffed and turned around, searching for the discarded pieces of his uniform. In the midst of their little…tryst, the oddest things ended up in the oddest places. His boots were in opposite corners and his cape was stuck over the door handle.
“One of these days someone is going to need something in one of these closets and they’re going to find way more than they expected.”
Kon snorted.
“So what? Good for them.”
Tim tensed for a split second before going back to getting dressed. Their friends with benefits arrangement was mutually beneficial. Kon got out his insane amounts of pent-up sexual tension, Tim got stress relief and the added bonus of close proximity to his current crush/best friend. If he could even still call it a crush after the past few years.
Maybe it was the Bat-training, maybe it was his attempt at keeping feelings out of the whole thing, whatever the reason, Tim was finished getting dressed even as Kon was still looking for his top. Tim allowed himself to watch as his friend floated up to the top of a cabinet. His butt looked good at this angle. Tim felt his cheeks flush and turned around, crossing his arms. Robin tradition or not, he mused bitterly on the stories he had heard from Dick, messing around in random rooms in Titans Tower does not seem smart or safe.
“That was dumb,” he muttered under his breath, closing his eyes.
“What was?” Came Kon’s voice most definitely too loud and too close.
Tim whirled and glared at his…friend.
“This,” he gestured at them both, at the room. “This whole thing was and every time we have done it and probably every time we will do it. It’s a dumb thing with dumb perks.”
Kon furrowed his brows, blue eyes glinting.
“What’s dumb about it?”
Tim scoffed.
“Everything. It’s firstly unsanitary,” Kon outright laughed. Tim pursed his lips. “Secondly, it could end causing problems between teammates.”
Kon tilted his head.
“How so? Unless you don’t like my skills,” here the half-Kryptonian wiggled his  hips, “I don’t see any reason to stop.”
Tim felt his heart jump and his blood roil. Ignoring the fact that Kon could hear all the ways his body was betraying him if he was even bothering to pay attention, Tim continued. He turned around again, crossing his arms.
“Say you and Cassie get back together, or you meet someone else. It just would be problematic!”
Kon shrugged and pulled his shirt on. He went to tuck it in as Tim spoke again.
“That was dumb.”
“I know. I heard you the first three times.”
“Crazy dumb. Crazy, stupid sticking fingers into light sockets kind of dumb.”
Tim glared at the wall, not saying anything else. Before he knew what was happening, Kon was pinning him against the wall just as he had been before, only this time both his hands were above his head and Kon wasn’t touching him anywhere else.
“What’s so dumb about this, Tim?” He asked in a low, sultry voice. It wasn’t exactly the same as his sex voice, a little more serious and less out-of-breath, but still far from his hero's voice.
“Is there something that bothers you about this Tim, or is it something about me?”
Tim swallowed, his throat suddenly extremely dry. Even though they had just spent quite a bit of time in there, certain parts of his body were telling him they were more than willing and ready to go another round, maybe even two, with Kon.
“This isn’t a personal commentary on either of us, Superboy.”
Kon leaned in closer to Tim but still didn’t touch him anywhere else. The familiar tingling of his TTK wound its way up from his ankles to rest low on his hips, pushing him further into the wall. He attempted to swallow again.
“Isn’t it though? You don’t have any problems with Bart and Jaime, or Steph and Cass.”
Tim tensed and a good portion of his arousal went away.
“Because they’re all in a public, committed relationship. Any of the potential fall-outs are at least partially anticipated.”
Kon pulled back some.
“Really, Tim? You’re going to go full-on Bats on me like this?”
Tim resented the fact that even Kon called him out on his more Bruce-like qualities—it wasn’t like Jason and Dick weren’t enough. He grit his teeth and tried to pull his wrists free from Kon’s hands. The clone didn’t fight him but didn’t let him just slip away, either.
“This has nothing to do with being a Bat, and even if it did that wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.”
Kon floated back some, giving Tim some more space without really freeing him.
“No, you’re right,” Kon put a hand through his hair, “this has nothing to with being a Bat. This has everything to do with you and your repressed emotions. It might make you fit in with the rest of your crime-fighting clan but you didn’t inherit it from them.”
Tim contemplated slapping Kon right then and there. The only thing that stopped him was knowing that being the one to initiate physical contact would mean Kon had won in some sick twisted way.
“I’m no detective but I think there’s something else that makes you see this as dumb,” Kon said softly, almost gently.
Tim flinched and closed his eyes. He was by far not prepared for this change in tone. Fighting, he could do—it’s all he and Kon had ever done before they became friends. But emotions, pity? Hell no.
The silence in the closet was deafening, and if his heartbeat was even half as loud to Kon as it was to him he knew there was no point in hiding. They stood there for what felt like hours before he opened his eyes. Behind his mask, he felt a sense of anonymity rarely afforded to Timothy Drake-Wayne. But in front of Kon? Kon-el, Conner Kent, the clone of Superman himself and containing Lex Luthor’s DNA, was not stupid. Even if he liked to be underestimated as such. He knew it was a lost cause that he was going to have to either come up with a really good lie (even by his standards) or tell the truth, as heart-wrenching as it would end up being.
Tim was just about to open his mouth and say—he didn’t know what, but something—when their communicators went off.
“All Titans, come in. We’re needed ASAP!”
Kon pulled all the way back this time and sighed.
“We’ll finish this conversation later.”
Tim didn’t follow Kon out immediately, instead letting his head fall back against the wall.
If I have any say in the matter we won’t.
Tim had almost forgotten about the uncomfortable conversation that happened after his and Kon’s most recent…meeting. Almost. And God did he hate that he couldn’t bring himself to just calling it what it was—sex, ­unattached and as platonic as it can get sex. Fucking, banging if he wanted to be crude, but it wasn’t much more. No making love for Tim Drake. No, he is much too busy and sleep deprived as it is, let alone emotionally repressed as others had so kindly put it.
He would have completely forgotten about the fact that his best friend (are they even still best friends at this point? What were they supposed to be?) still wanted to talk if it wasn’t for said friend. Tim had hit the showers—finally—after their quick mission. A gangbanger that had gotten too big for his britches decided to dabble in Venom and wrecked a few city blocks by the time they were able to stop him.
While he pulled on some civvies, Tim winced. It was far from the worst battle he had ever been in (hello Ra’s al Ghul, Damian) but bruised ribs were bruised ribs. ­­­­A knock on his door had him tensing. His schedule did not allow him to spend much more time at Titans Tower. After all, he had business back in Gotham of both the suit-and-tie kind and the crime-fighting kind.
“Come in,” he called out. Whichever Titan it was hopefully wouldn’t take up too much of his time.
He heard his door open but knew immediately it wasn’t Bart or Cassie; both of them would have instantly been chattering about something or other. Tim knew in his gut it was Kon before he turned around.
“Do you need something?” He asked, voice cold in a manner he didn’t frequently use on friends and family, just barely keeping himself from crossing his arms.
Kon made sure the door was shut before walking over to Tim’s desk and sitting in his seat. The clone leaned back a tad, just enough that his t-shirt rode up his jeans some. Tim was suddenly very grateful for Kon’s fashion taste and the fact the high-waisted jeans covered skin that otherwise would have been visible and very distracting.
“Yeah, I do, but not right now. This is more of a…a prelude to talking about what you and I need.”
Tim made the split-second decision to not sit down but did finally give in and cross his arms.
“Fine. I don’t have much time so spit it out.”
He hoped that the minute shaking he could feel wasn’t noticeable, but who was Tim kidding? Even with half of Superman’s genes, this was still a superpowered Kryptonian. He leaned against his dresser, the distance exactly enough to not be awkwardly far away but not so close as to make the conversation too intimate, too personal.
Kon eyed Tim. It wasn’t a sensual checking out or aggressive sizing up, just a drawn out and unsubtle observation. Tim began to fidget, a tell and a nervous habit Dick and Bruce had yet to fully train out of him.
“Well?” He finally prompted, undeniably impatient.
Kon leaned forward, his elbows on his knees and hands clasped together.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about what you brought up earlier, man, and I want you to know that I wasn’t just being a jerk for no reason.”
Tim snorted.
“Like you’ve ever needed a reason to be a jerk.” Kon snapped his head up and glared at Tim.
Tim raised his hands in surrender, genuinely regretting the words.
“Sorry, I’m sorry, that was uncalled for. Continue.”
Kon pursed his lips for a beat before doing just that.
“Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I still stand by what I said earlier even if some of the…personal digs weren’t relevant. It’s a Bats thing to stay emotionally unattached and I’m not like that. I hate it, I actually really hate it. So even though we’ve got this friends-with-benefits thing going on you’re still one of my closest friends. Besides,” he leaned back again, grinning now, a glint in his eyes and the beginnings of a smirk around his mouth, “it’s not liked we don’t keep each other happy.”
Tim swallowed. His heart was racing but he also felt kind of faint. Instinctively the oblivious side of him wondered if he had maybe been poisoned but he knew instantly that that wasn’t the case.
“So you’re saying that you want to keep this up, nothing changing, even though I think it’s dumb?”
Kon groaned and closed his eyes, rubbing his hands over his face.
“I don’t know man. Ideally, there’d be more than just amazing sex in random rooms but since that’s all you’re gonna give that’s all I’m gonna take.”
“Fine b—wait, wait what?” Tim’s voice squeaked in a way it hadn’t in a few years. Kon’s eyebrows furrowed and his cheeks flushed slightly.
“Do you like me?”
Kon looked miffed at having been interrupted but shrugged.
“Yeah, man, I guess. We are friends after all.” Tim stood up and shook his head.
“No, no, you don’t understand. Do you like like-like me? Like, physically and emotionally attracted to me? As in don’t want to just fuck?”
Kon rolled his eyes.
“Well duh. Why do you think I broke it off with Cassie? I straight up seduced you dude, I just realized pretty quickly you weren’t into me on the same level. It’s cool though.”
“Why did you think I’m not into you? I thought it was obvious and you were just humoring me while getting all the benefits.”
Kon raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to speak but froze. He dropped his head back and started laughing.
“What’s so funny about this?” Tim said, speaking louder so that he could be heard over Kon’s laughter. Emotions were racing through him like a heard of horses but the most prominent one had rapidly become confusion.
“It’s, it’s just that this whole time I, I tho-thought,” Kon wheezed, “thought that you. I don’t know, I just didn’t think you were interested that way.”
Tim felt his jaw metaphorically drop.
“Are you kidding me? We could have been dating this whole time?”
Tim ran his fingers through his hair and gripped it, pacing. Kon stood up and smiled. He walked up to Tim who had begun muttering at light speed, and gently stopped him, holding his shoulders.
“Tim, hey, Rob,” he said softly.
Tim looked up at him and sighed. He bit his bottom lip, and Kon’s eyes flashed down toward his lips.
“Let’s let go of this whole mess and just start over, okay?”
Tim nodded vigorously. Kon grinned and leaned in, kissing him softly. When he pulled back, Tim seemed to be a little in shock.
“So, Robin, Tim Drake-Wayne, would you like to go on a date with me tonight?”
Tim pulled back a little and stared Kon down.
“As much as I want to say yes, I’m way too busy tonight. How about tomorrow? I can make time for a few hours if you can.”
Kon grinned and kissed Tim again, lingering this time.
“I can always make time for you, babe.”
“Babe?”
“Well, yeah, if we’re boyfriends then I reserve the right to call you babe.”
Tim couldn’t deny that he wasn’t getting flustered and flustered quickly.
“Alright, Kon,” Tim grinned, “it’s a date.”

All Over You | Elias Pettersson
Summary: Elias had his chance with you, and he messed it up. But the idea that you might be over him? That’s more than he can handle.  Words: 3.8k Note: I wrote this in a drunken haze of sleep deprived creativity brought on by a country song. Please ignore any errors, I couldn’t be bothered to proofread. 
---
Elias’ eyes are following you across the room. 
The beer in his hands is still full and lukewarm, by now. He hadn’t really even wanted it, but Brock had pressed it into his hands.
“Get that scowl off your face, bud,” he’d grinned, and then scurried off. Maybe he’d noticed that his typical, happy go lucky Brock demeanor was too much for Elias to deal with tonight. 
This bar, the bar that his teammates dragged him to, is the same place you and him used to go all the time. He likes the lowkey vibe, the fact that there rarely seemed to be any hockey fans there - or at least none that would disturb him - and you like the music that gets played there and the fact that they have your favorite cider brand. 
You were never much of a beer fan, and Elias watches with heavy eyes as you take a sip of your cider, now, and laugh at something the guy says. 
Something ugly curls in the pit of his stomach.
The thing is, Elias knows he has no right to be jealous right now, but as he watches you laugh and talk to this random guy, jealousy is definitely what he’s feeling. 
He spotted you the moment he walked in. You were already at the bar, and Elias made sure to stick himself in a corner, not going anywhere near you.
He thinks it worked; it doesn’t seem like you’ve seen him, yet, and he’s planning on keeping it that way. 
He lost the right to your attention. 
It’s Bo, unsurprisingly, that sits down next to Elias. He puts a glass of coke on the table. 
“Go home,” he says softly. There’s a tinge of worry in his voice, and Elias hates it, because he knows he doesn’t deserve to be worried about. But Bo has grown into his captain role beautifully, so Elias should’ve expected him to notice. 
“I’m fine here,” he says, but his voice sounds flat. He tries again. “It’s just, you know...”
“Y/N is here,” Bo finishes for him. “And you don’t want her to see you.” Elias supposes he’s easier to read than he thought. That, or Bo knows him better than he thought.
“I don’t want to see her, with him, either.” Elias grits his teeth. It’s not the kind of truth he would normally blurt out like that; normally it’s only Brock and Quinn that he confides in like that.
Brock because he makes everything seem less catastrophic with his everlasting optimism and his easy grin, and Quinn because he usually doesn’t really say anything at all, except maybe “sucks, bro” and sometimes that’s nice to hear, because some things really do suck. 
But Bo is here, and Elias is not in the best place, so the words just kinda tumble out. 
“It’s funny, how these things happen,” he says. “Joke’s on me, I guess.”
“Nobody is laughing, Petey.” Bo gives him a sympathetic look. “You look like you want to punch something, and it’s scaring Tuna.”
Elias dares to look away from your figure, for one second, to find Jake. Jake is staring back at him with big eyes, but averts his gaze when Elias catches him looking.
He sighs. “I don’t hate her, you know.” 
“I didn’t think you did.” Bo’s statement is bland but full of all the things he’s not saying. Elias has a distinct feeling Bo knows exactly what Elias hates.
Hates that he’s basically a stranger to you, now, that he can’t go up to you and wrap his arms around your waist, that he can’t say something to make you laugh. He hates that you’re dancing with him, with that guy, and not with Elias. 
He never liked dancing, but he usually let you drag him along anyway, just to see the way your face would light up when he did. 
“You could go over there,” Bo tries, carefully. “Say hi.” 
I wouldn’t survive the look of disdain in her eyes, is what Elias thinks. 
“I don’t wanna make it weird for her,” is what he says. 
“Why would it be weird?” 
Elias laughs, but it’s bitter, with not even a hint of humor in his eyes. He takes a swig of the coke, then slams it down on the table hard enough that a little bit slushes over the edge. The bubbles pop once they hit the wood. 
“Because I might say something I regret.” 
“Like?” Bo prompts.
Like I miss you. I’m sorry. I wish I’d never left. 
“I’m gonna go home,” Elias says, and he doesn’t wait to see the look of pity on Bo’s face before storming out of the bar and ordering an Uber.
He also doesn’t see you watching him leave.
--
6 weeks earlier, you’d been sitting on a chair on Elias’ balcony, a blanket over your legs and a glass of wine in your hands.
It was late enough at night that the streets of Vancouver had gone quiet, and Elias’ eyes were half closed as he leaned his head against the wall.
It was peaceful, everything about it. The silence wasn’t uncomfortable; you’d just spent the night with Jake and his girlfriend, so you both needed some quiet. 
It wasn’t warm, per se, not this time of year, but you always loved the fresh air and it wasn’t too cold either. 
Elias’ cheeks were red from the fresh outside air, and he seemed perfectly content, like that.
It wasn’t the first time you looked at your best friend a different way, but you couldn’t remember it ever being this intense before. Like, you looked at him sometimes and thought; wow, he’s really hot, or, wow, he always makes me laugh, or even wow, I want to kiss him right now.
But up until that night, you’d never thought: wow, I love him. 
Strangely enough, the thought didn’t scare you as much as it, in hindsight, definitely should’ve. Maybe because you’d known Elias for almost a year, and you liked to believe you knew him quite well.
There had been moments, you thought, where you could’ve sworn he felt it too. That undeniable, invisible cord between you, pulling you towards each other. The way the air got charged with something, when your eyes met. 
It sounded cliche, you knew that, but in some ways you thought you’d always known it would end up like this. 
Which is why it was such a shock that it ended the way it did.
You can barely remember, now, how exactly it happened. You think your mind blocked out the memory, somewhere between crying your eyes out into your pillow and crying your eyes out on the phone to your sister. Some kind of protective mechanism, probably.
You remember something, though. You don’t think you’re ever going to be able to forget the look on Elias’ face, when you told him you loved him as more than a friend. 
No neurologic protective power big enough in the world to get that memory out of your mind.
He’d looked... Shocked, kinda. Like he’d never thought of you that way. But there had been something else there. Something that hit you way harder, hurt so much more. 
Disbelief.
How could you dare to love him. 
Not to get you wrong; you know Elias isn’t arrogant. He doesn’t think he’s the Canucks’ savior, he doesn’t belief he’s better than anyone. You’ve not been able to put your finger on why he looked like that, although not for lack of trying - you’ve lost nights and nights of sleep over it, but still, you don’t understand.
He looked shocked, upset, and he looked unhappy.
And that’s something you don’t think you’re ever going to get over. 
He left, after that, ran away from the balcony like the devil himself was chasing him, hid in his bedroom, and then you never heard from him again.
No texts, no calls, no house visits. Not even an Instagram DM saying, “hey there, it was fun to be friends until you decided to be a creep, see ya never".
Nothing. 
And you’d been too ashamed to reach out, so that meant there had just been silence. 
Before this, you never thought silence could be quite this loud. 
--
Elias can’t sleep.
That shouldn’t be surprising, after tonight. His body is still reeled up with adrenaline.
He would never fight the guy you were with, cause he could see that he made you happy, and there’s not a scenario in which he would choose to ruin that for you.
But God, would he have loved to just. Do something. Make him disappear, and preferably, put his own body in that place.
The place of the guy that makes you happy. 
Tonight just really drove the point home that you’re over him. Elias had his chance, messed it up, and you moved on. He can’t blame you for that, he just wishes he could do the same.
He doesn’t think he’s ever going to be over you. 
The thing is, when you told Elias you loved him, he was mostly just in shock. You’d been one of his closest friends, and he would trust you with his life. He told you everything and he knew you did the same.
He knew he loved making you laugh, he loved being there for you when you needed something, he loved talking to you so much he stayed up all night even after a game, he loved seeing you in his jersey, he loved...
He loved being around you. 
He just hadn’t really noticed he had started to love you. 
When you said it, he hadn’t known what to say. A thousand words had entered his brain and then left within a split second. None of them seemed to make it to his mouth; not in English, not in Swedish, not in any language. 
He remembers the way your face fell, and you turned your gaze to the ground. How you’d looked so uncomfortable, so upset. 
He thought the best thing to do would be to leave, until he got himself together enough to speak to you, to make actual words and force them out of his throat. 
He hid in his bedroom, paced around in circles for ten minutes; all that time, it was like he was looking through a kaleidoscope of memories, of you and him.
He knew, when he left that room, that he loved you too, and he was planning on telling you that.
But you were gone.
He didn’t know, and doesn’t know, still, whether you left because he reacted like a jerk and didn’t say anything, or because you changed your mind. 
He waited, for you to call, or text him. To call him out or to act like nothing ever happened. 
You didn’t call.
And he didn’t call, either, figured it wasn’t welcome. Still wasn’t even really sure what to say, maybe. He didn’t call, but every time he didn’t, he almost did, and now he’s sitting on his couch staring at his phone and wondering if that guy that made you smile and laugh in the bar calls you every day.
He feels sick to his stomach, and he didn’t even drink anything.
--
At 3am at night, Elias really isn’t expecting a knock on his door, but when there is one, he figures it’s Brock, or Jake, maybe even Quinn, who got drunk and got lost.
It wouldn’t be the first time Brock showed up at his door drunk because he was lonely and wanted to cuddle. 
At 3am at night - and really any time - Elias would not expect a knock on his door and upon opening it, to be faced with you. 
“How dare you,” you snarl, pushing past him without giving him a chance to say anything. 
Elias raises an eyebrow; he would ask you what you’re doing here, but that feels too normal; like the type of thing he would ask before you were no longer friends.
“I saw you, you know,” you continue. You’re not yelling, but it’s a close thing; Elias hears the anger in your voice, can’t quite decide whether he’s happy you’re talking to him or unhappy because you’re looking at him the same way one might look at a dead snail. 
“Saw me?” he repeats, a little dumbly.
“At the bar, Elias!” You step away from him, throw your hands up in the air. “I fucking saw you at the bar! And if I hadn’t seen you, I would’ve seen all of your other teammates! 10 hockey players don’t walk into a bar unnoticed, you idiot. So what am I supposed to do?” 
A silence falls, like you’re actually expecting Elias to answer that. 
He would, he would do anything you wanted him to, but he has no idea what you’re wanting to hear.
“What are you doing with what?” he tries, carefully.
You laugh, but it’s clear that you don’t find anything funny. “What am I supposed to do when we see each other in public? Am I ignoring you? Saying hi and moving on? Running away?” You pause. “Or is running away something only you are allowed to do?” 
“That’s not fair,” Elias says, a little quietly. It probably is fair, but it still stings. “I left to make it better for you. I didn’t want to ruin your night. Besides,” he adds, and now he sounds a little resentful, “you were all over that guy, and I didn’t wanna watch.” 
“All over that guy?” you repeat incredulous. “I wasn’t all over anything, Elias, I’m not even over you!” 
The words that Elias was meaning to say die on his lips, and suddenly there’s a distinct ringing sound in his ears, like he just took a puck to the head. 
Did you just say...
“All over... me?” he says softly, and something in your demeanor shifts at the quietness of his voice; the tension leaves your body and all your willingness to fight is just gone, sucked out of you like someone switched a light switch.
You sink down onto his couch and put your head in your hands.
“Fuck,” you breathe out. “I didn’t come here to say that.” 
I’m not usually this pathetic, is what you mean, but you don’t say that, because the truth is, you usually are this pathetic, at least when it comes to Elias. 
“What did you come here for?” Elias asks. The words could sound harsh, but they don’t. It’s only genuine curiosity that you hear in his voice.
Maybe, if you were being honest to yourself, you would even hear something like hope. But you wouldn’t dare believe that. 
“I don’t even know,” you tell him, and it’s the truth. “I just, my friend took me to that bar because she said I had to get over you at some point, and that guy was kinda nice and he reminded me of you because he has the same dry humor, and then I saw you and I thought...” You pause. “I thought I was dreaming.” 
You feel the couch dip under Elias’ weight as he sits down. He’s not sitting close enough that you can feel him, but somehow you can still feel his presence.
Something settles, within your stomach. Something that hasn’t been settled since that night on his balcony.
“But then you ran away like you couldn’t stand the sight of me, and it hurts, Elias, it hurts to know you feel like that, and suddenly I got so mad and...”
You cut yourself off. 
This is not the time, or the place, to put yourself through this, to lay it all out in the open like this. After all, Elias has made it clear he doesn’t want this from you, and you should accept that.
If you want even an ounce of dignity intact, you need to leave now, lick your wounds in peace, and get the fuck over it.
All over it. 
You stand up.
“Nevermind,” you tell him. “I’m sorry for coming here.” 
But before you can take a step towards the front door, to leave and never come back, Elias’ hand catches your wrist, slender fingers wrapped around you so tightly it nearly hurts.
It doesn’t, really. Not in comparison to how much your soul is hurting. 
“Elias,” you say, and you’re pleading, now, “please don’t.” 
It’s not a full sentence, but you think it covers the bases: please don’t make me say it, please don’t let me embarrass myself like this, please don’t break my heart again. 
Please don’t let me go.
“I’m sorry,” Elias says, and his voice is a little gruff, like it’s hard for him to speak. “I’m so sorry I left. Today, and last time. I know I don’t deserve it, but please... don’t leave.” 
You inhale sharply; these are words you hoped, but never expected to hear, and now that you’re hearing them, you don’t really know what to do with them. 
“Let me just say some things,” Elias continues, soft and careful, like he’s trying not to spook you. “Just sit, listen to me, and then if you want, you can leave and I’ll never bother you again.”
That’s, like, kinda the opposite of what you want, but you suppose you never really had a chance. Because you look back at Elias and his blue eyes are honest and pleading, so you nod curtly and sit back down on the couch.
You sit on the opposite end to Elias, and his hand falls away from your wrist, ends up on his own knee. 
Elias is looking at you intently, his blue eyes bright and focused. Under his gaze, it seems a little harder to breathe. 
You don’t know what you’re expecting him to say, but it’s not what comes out of his mouth next.
“You’re my best friend.” 
His voice is quiet, but firm. 
You frown. “Brock is your best friend.” 
Elias smiles a little sadly. He twists the string of his hoodie around his finger, then lets it fall again. 
It’s a sure tell that he’s nervous, which really sucks to notice, because you don’t think Elias has ever been nervous around you before.
“Maybe,” he says, “but so are you. In a different way, I think.” He pauses. “I didn’t realize that before. That it’s different with you.” 
“Elias, you’re not making a lot of sense right now,” you tell him, confused, and the sigh that escapes his lips is heavy. 
“I know,” he says, frustration lacing his voice, “I’m not good at talking. I don’t know... what to say, how to say. That’s why I didn’t say anything, that night.”
He doesn’t have to explain which night he’s talking about. 
You feel your cheeks flush at the mention of that night, and avert your gaze to stare at your hands, that are linked together laying limply in your lap. 
“Y/N,” Elias says softly, and there’s something vulnerable in his voice, “our friendship is different because yes, you’re one of my best friends, but that isn’t all I feel for you.” 
You risk it; you look up at him, and his eyes are big and sad when they lock with yours. 
“I didn’t realize it, when you said...” He doesn’t finish his sentence, but he doesn’t have to. You know what he means. “I didn’t realize it until I thought about it and suddenly it all made so much sense, it was all so clear... But then I came out and you were gone and I worried you changed your mind.” 
He inhales, then very slowly, oh so carefully, reaches out and puts one hand on yours, his hand warm and soft. 
You don’t really know what to say; you think Elias is trying to tell you he has feelings for you too, but after last time, you’re too scared to make any assumptions without him literally spelling it out for you. 
There’s something circling in your mind, one thought that means nothing else really matters.
“You left.” 
The silence is almost deafening, but you don’t fill it. You can see the wheels turning in Elias’ head, can see the shame on his face. 
“I’m really, really sorry,” he says, finally. “I think I freaked out. Like I said, I didn’t really realize what we had... Until I didn’t have you any more.” He sighs again. His fingers have tightened around yours, but you don’t know if he means to do it, or if it’s something subconscious, trying to keep you close to him. 
“These past weeks have really sucked,” he continues. “I thought you were over me, and I didn’t know what to do.” He smiles a bit wryly. “Words are not my strong point.” 
Your heart is beating in your chest, so loudly you can almost feel it in your ears. You think if Elias is quiet for a while, he might be able to hear it, too. 
There’s really no way you could misinterpret this, probably. But you’re not gonna be the one to make the first move.
That didn’t work out so well for you last time. 
Instead, you ask; “Show me?” 
Something flashes across Elias’ face, something heated and determined, and then suddenly he’s close enough that you can feel his body heat radiating off him. 
His lips are soft at first, almost hesitant, but when he notices you’re not pulling away, Elias’ kisses you more intently, swipes his tongue across your bottom lip and moves his hands to your hips, tugging softly.
You let him pull you against him. You don’t think you really ever had a chance to say no. 
The kiss makes you dizzy, but there’s still a voice nagging at you, somewhere in the back of your brain. And when Elias pulls back from you long enough to breathe, the thought somehow makes its way out of your mouth.
“Please don’t do this if you’re gonna run away again.” Your intake of breath is a little shaky. “I’m never going to get over you after this.” 
Elias laughs, and for the first time, it’s a genuine laugh, one that lights up something inside of you.
“I don’t want you to get over me,” he mumbles against your lips. “I was an idiot for giving you the chance to do that once. I won’t make the same mistake twice.”
His hands move to your back, caressing the skin there.
“I love you,” he says, easily as ever. “I love you, and I’m never going to run away anywhere except if it’s after you.” 
You don’t think you could smile any wider if you tried. 
“I love you, too,” you say. The words feel a bit foreign on your lips, after six weeks of telling yourself to not think them. 
“Thank God,” Elias breathes, and then he’s kissing you again, and his hands seem to be everywhere at once, touching your skin and your face and your hair. 
His hands are all over you, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
