Every winter, snakes brumate over the winter. They stop eating as the temperature drops, their metabolism slows down, and they look for an underground place to hide from surface temperature changes. Which seems perfectly normal for a snake to do once the season changes.
But when your boyfriend and a fourth of Nevermore’s population happen to have a head full of snakes for hair, it becomes more complicated.
During winter, Nevermore’s community of gorgons get drained easily or just exhausted in general from their genetics, so they had an exception for sleeping in class and their lack of being active.
But what you noticed with Ajax was that he was more clingy to you than usual. He would find any possible way to be close to you. You were eating with your friends? He would take the seat next to you and wrap his arm around you, head buried in your neck. When you took notes, he’d have his hand in yours, head resting on your shoulder. In Jericho despite the weather being absolutely freezing? He would stay by your side and order a hot chocolate from the Weathervane for you both to share.
You let him do what he wanted amid winter, never minding the extra close proximity. You quite liked his clinginess.
“Jax?” You murmur, his head resting on your shoulder. “Are you okay?”
“M’just tired, don’t worry.” He gave a soft response, not wanting to bother your conversation with Enid.
“Are you sure? We can go back to your dorm if you’d like.” Your brow creased as you rub circles into his hand that held yours. “I can just tell Enid, she’ll understand.”
He let out a small sigh, “I… You’re having fun with them, I don’t want to—“
“Babe, you’re gonna pass out sooner or later, and I would rather have you pass out in your bed than in a lounging area.” You interrupt the gorgon, catching his eyes full of love and exhaustion. “And you are not leaving on your own.”
For a few seconds, Ajax just stared at you, wondering how fucking lucky it was that you wanted to date him of all people. And in those few seconds, you had just finished explaining to Enid why you had to go, giving her a small smile.
“Let’s go,” You nudged his arm, snapping him out of his thoughts. “The comfort of your bed awaits!”
The trek to his dorm wasn’t as bad compared to when he had to sneak into your dorm. Polonius Hall was rarely checked upon by the hall master who was instructed to ensure the strict rules were being taken seriously. You did have trouble pulling him up the stairs from the common room to his room, the more tired he was, the more it seemed he was intoxicated. Which he wasn’t.
Finally getting to his room, you took the keys from his pocket, and— You forgot which was the right key.
You poke his cheek, earning a hum. “Which is the key?”
“The one with the snakes.” He mumbled, pointing in no particular direction.
Silently thanking him for decorating all his keys with different designs, you unlock his door, quickly taking him to his bed.
“Wait, aren’t you a witch? You couldn’t use your witchy powers to open my door?” Ajax sat slouched on the bed, pretending to use his hands to make the door move.
“I didn’t want to— That’s not the point right now, go get changed.” You try using an authoritative voice, but only hear a whine and a tired chuckle come from your beloved’s mouth. “What?”
“Nothing, you’re just cute.” He stood sluggishly and kissed your nose before heading to his closet. “η όμορφη κοπέλα μου είναι τόσο αξιολάτρευτη.” He said in a sing-song voice, his words confusing you.
“Babe, you know I don’t understand Greek.” You pout jokingly, leaning against his dresser. “What’d you say?”
He tapped his cheek first. You rolled your eyes at him, giving him a small peck. “Happy?”
“Of course.” Ajax grinned lazily and started to hum, completely ignoring your previous question.
“Jax.”
“Mhm?”
“You were— What the fuck?” You take your phone out of your back pocket, Enid’s name dragging across the screen. “Hello?”
“Hi! I know you’re like, very busy right now and you just left, but this is kinda an emergency and we need you. Like, now.” She spoke fast and it sounded like she was pacing.
“Uhm, alright, I’ll be there in a few.” You quickly ended the call and met the eyes of a curious gorgon. “Enid has an emergency—“
“It’s okay, I’ll be fine.” He reassured you, wrapping his arms around your torso. “Need to take a shower anyway.”
“You’re lucky I removed that mirror from your bathroom, A.” You cup his jaw, bringing him down so you could pepper his face with kisses. “It’ll be quick, then I’ll come back here.”
Separating from Ajax, you flash a small smile toward the tired male and then turn to leave, not before he wrapped his hand around your wrist, making you look back at him.
“I love you.”
Your smile gets slightly wider, “I love you too, Jax.”
Quickly parting from him, you speed walk to where Enid was, trying to figure out along the way what could have been the emergency.
— — —
“Oh my gosh, thank god you’re here!” Enid rushed over and grabbed your arm, pulling you toward the situation. “Look.”
“It’s a hat.”
“No, not that!” She turned your head toward Wednesday. “That.”
You blink once. Twice. “Wednesday, are you okay?”
“I’m absolutely splendid.” Her mouth twitched a bit.
“But you’re…”
“Smiling!” Enid shoved a mirror in front of her face, peeking behind. “What did you do?”
“Nothing.”
You glance at the girl’s phone, watching as Xavier’s contact pops up. “Did you go on a date with Thorpe, Wednesday?”
“No.” She spun around and shoved her phone inside a drawer, silently cursing her own stupidity. “Why would I ever willingly hang out with that—“
“She’s blushing! You’re blushing!” Enid jumped up and down, squealing at the usually pale Addams. “Wednesday has a boyfriend!”
“I do not!” She cleared her throat, pulling the monotone face again. “I don’t have a particular interest in this conversation you brought me in.”
“You like Xavier, there’s no denying it.” Enid happily says, clapping her hands together. “My blog must know!”
“Don’t, E.” You wring your hands. “You don’t want another Ajax and Y/N situation.”
She froze, “Right, sorry about that. Uh, I promise not to speak about it until you let me.”
“Good. Or I’d have you six feet under.” Wednesday almost grinned. “Now why aren’t you with your boyfriend?”
“Because Enid said this was an emergency.”
The werewolf threw a small glare toward you, “I mean, it kinda was? She was smiling so hard! It should be concerning!”
“Yeah yeah, I’m happy for you Wednesday. I hope he treats you right.” You give her a minute smile. “If not, Enid will full-on wolf out on the school’s resident tortured artist.”
“Yep.” Enid flashed a toothy smile. “I can terrify the shit out of him.”
“With your colorful nails? Of course.” The pigtailed girl sarcastically remarked.
You let out a small laugh, trying to avoid the pillow being thrown at you. “Enid!”
“What?” She threw another one at you, soon laughing along. “You’re laughing at my nails!”
“I’m not!” You defend yourself, deflecting the pillow with a flick of your wrist, red encasing the soft cushion.
“You so were! And that’s cheating!”
“How?” You throw the pillow back.
“You’re using your powers!”
Wednesday shook her head at the two of you, “Y/N.”
“Yeah?” You turn to her, but not before Enid threw one last pillow at your face, causing you to glare at the blonde.
“So you came here because smiling was an emergency?” She had an eyebrow raised, arms crossed. “I’m sure Ajax has been missing you since you left him alone approximately eighteen minutes and fifty-six seconds ago.”
“It hasn’t been over five minutes.” Your eyes flicker up to the clock on Enid’s side table, seeing it had indeed almost been twenty whole minutes.
“Your journey to Enid and I’s dorm from the boy’s dormitory takes way longer than you think it does, even with your speed walking.”
“How did you—? You know what? I probably won’t get a straight answer.” You check the clock again, biting the inside of your cheek. Taking your phone out, you check your messages, seeing that Ajax has indeed texted you. “Shit, uh, I have to go.” You awkwardly point to the door with your thumb, looking between the both of the girls.
“Okey-Dokey, it’s no biggie.” Enid grinned at you, her roommate rolling her eyes at the words she chose. “We all know how Ajax is during this season. Very clingy.”
You flash her a grateful smile, giving her a quick hug and Wednesday a nod. Leaving Ophelia hall, you take a sharp right, bumping into your hall master, Miss Thornhill.
“Oh! Miss L/N, I didn’t think you’d be out of your dorm at this hour. You know it’s past the times you’re allowed to go out.” She gave an off smile, one that gave you the creeps.
“I…” Your answer died on your tongue, racking your brain for anything that would avoid getting both you and Ajax in trouble. “Ajax… He has my… My textbook for your class! Yeah, he wanted to use mine because he totally forgot where he put his and—”
She put her hand up, indicating for you to stop. “I know you and Mister Petropolus are a thing, Y/N. I also know that gorgons have difficulty processing stuff during cold seasons. So if you really need to go over to him, I’ll give you permission. As long as you both are not caught, all right?”
“Yes, of course.” You silently thank her for having some sort of favorite.
“And no funny business either.”
Too late for that. You nod, knowing she’ll figure out the lie within your words.
“Good, now off you go.” Thornhill dismissed you, missing the way you let out a breath and cursed at not paying attention.
And this time, you recorded the time it took from Ophelia Hall to Ajax’s dorm, which turned out to be eleven minutes. Though Nevermore was big, you didn’t know it was that big of a school. Entering Polonius Hall’s common room, you heavily sighed, hands running through your hair. You didn’t think you’d be tired from everything that happened within the last hour.
Quietly, you pushed open your boyfriend’s door, finding him sleeping on his bed, showered, and changed into his plaid pajama pants and a band tee, a different beanie snug on his head. Though some of his snakes were already out, snoring as well. You tugged your converse off and changed into one of his shirts, trying not to make loads of noise. Wincing when you knocked the cup of pens and pencils over while putting some of his stuff away.
Taking in the way he was positioned on the bed, you opted to sleep on top of the covers, staying as far away from him. It was only to not disturb his slumber, but you knew when you felt the bed shift you had woken him up.
“Baby, what’re you doing?” His voice was raspy from sleep.
“Trying not to wake you up.” You reply.
Ajax lifted the blanket up, letting you slide underneath it and into his embrace. “I think you failed.”
“Go back to bed, ’m sorry.” You feel the warmth emitting from his body, legs immediately intertwining with his.
“η όμορφη κοπέλα μου είναι τόσο αξιολάτρευτη.” He said again, kissing your forehead. You hum, fatigue taking over your body. “My beautiful girlfriend is so adorable.”
“Is that what that means?’
“Mhm.” He put his head on top of yours. “Also, don’t worry. I couldn’t sleep without my beautiful girlfriend with me.”
“Go to sleep, my love.” You peck his collarbone. “You can flirt with me in the morning.”

hii i was going to sleep and suddenly thought of this idea for ajax x f!reader where reader decides to moan someone else’s name (maybe xavier) while ajax and reader are doing it and he just goes full on dom on her. this is just an idea you don’t have to write it!
from anon 🧸 !!
trying to ease into writing smut so here's a little Ajax blurb. not too sure how I feel about this.
smut, 18+
Tumblr media
It was hard to focus on anything happening around me, my main focus zoned in on the way Ajax was making me feel. His hips thrusting into mine at a pleasurable pace, bringing me more than I needed but it still wasn’t enough.
I could see it in his face, the way he was straining as if he was holding himself back. I knew he was, no matter how much he tried to hide it in order not to hurt me. I could feel it in the way his hips stuttered every time they pulled back as he suppressed himself from snapping into me like a mad man, the way his biceps flexed above my head as they gripped the headboard, and in the way his jaw became immensely more defined as he clenched his teeth together.
I needed something to make the rope snap, to bring out the side of Ajax that I needed to reach my high, one that only he could bring me.
I probably should have thought my next move out better but with the way he was touching me and what he was doing to me, thinking wasn’t really an option. My body and mind were operating on autopilot to get whatever it needed to reach that finish line.
“Shit…” I sighed. His head dipped into my neck as my back arched into him when he hit just the right spot. “Don’t stop, Xavier, please…”. And just then, Ajax’s hips faltered and he pulled his head out of the crook of my neck where he was leaving hickeys that I would have to find a way to cover tomorrow.
But with the look in his eyes now, a fire behind them — the exact fire I had been pushing for, I knew I’d have a few more bruises to cover after he was done.
His pace was slow but his thrusts were deep and only growing deeper. His face was growing red, veins popping as he gave me a rough glare and a condescending head tilt. “What was that, sweetheart?” He asked in such a patronizing tone, an underlying element in his voice that told me this was a warning, most likely my only one.
“I didn’t mean to-” I started in a pant before his hips snapped into mine, hard and harsh and in a way that had me holding back a scream as my eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head.
There he is. I hazily smiled to myself without realizing, much to my boyfriends dismay.
“You find this amusing, don’t you? Calling me another guy’s name. Someone's growing bold...” He started in a low, grunting tone. His movements only grew more vigorous as the moments passed, my hands coming up to try and wrap around his back before one of his own was pinning them both above my head. The other wasting no time in making a home around the base of my neck and applying light pressure.
“Be a brat. That’s fine by me.” He droned on. His head came down to level with my ear, me still panting as his movements never stopped. His warm breath hit my neck in a way that sent a chill down my spine, the authoritative and threatening tone in which he spoke had me practically whimpering at his touch. “You just never know when to stop, do you?.”
“‘M sorry.” I muttered through my dazed state, the phrase so quiet that it was barely audible in my own ears. He chuckled darkly before pulling his head away from me again to stare into my eyes.
“I know you are.” He cooed with mock-pity before hardening his expression once again. “But it’s too late for apologies, love. You started this and you’re going to finish it.”
I couldn’t find it in myself to respond as that familiar tightening sensation formed in my abdomen, my legs starting to tremble in the slightest of ways and my hands that were still trapped underneath his trying to grasp at air. What would be my first orgasm or the night, but certainly not the last, was approaching fast.
“You’re going to leave this fucking room in tears.”

bruised heart
summary: you overheard a conversation that your boyfriends were having.
pairing: xavier thorpe x reader x ajax petropolus
…………………………………………………………………………….
at first, people at nevermore found the relationship between the three of you weird. but over time, they had gotten used to the dynamic. you didn’t care about the other people witnessing your relationship because you had the boys. they were the sole reason on how you found out your love languages were physical touch and quality time.
“bye yoko! i’m leaving to meet up with xavi and jax,” you waved to your roommate who you were really close with. principal weems decided to pair the two of you up because you guys were both vampires and yoko was able to help you, showing you the ropes of the school and managing being a vampire better.
you sneak your way through opheilla hall to go to the boy’s hall. looking around twice to make sure you’re in the clear before you were gonna open the door to xavier’s room. xavier’s room was always the spot because he had a single dorm and nobody would interrupt your time together. you go to place your hand on the doorknob as your enhanced hearing began to kick in.
“dude, i think she’s a little clingy,” you heard ajax say and it made you frown. you never thought that they had a problem with that.
“she’s also always right up under one of us,” xavier replied to ajax. they both shared a laugh making your heart drop to your stomach. how come they never told you? now they’re laughing at you, you felt stupid. stupid enough to trust your heart with not one boy but two of them. you let go of the doorknob quietly and back away from the door.
you didn’t want to stay for the rest of that awful conversation. so, you turned to sneak your way back to opheilla hall with tears that threaten to come down. once you made it back to your room, you walked in with your head down.
“y/n, you’re back early. did you get caught?”
“um no. i- uh i just wasn’t feeling good,” you bit your lip to keep it from trembling any more than it was. the sound of you wavering voice made yoko look up from her phone. she saw you fiddled with your fingers and your posture was slouched.
“are you okay?” you finally look up to face her and a tear slips out. a sign that you definitely were going to start sobbing.
“i walked up to the door and uh overheard them talking about how clingy i was. you don’t think i’m clingy right?” your eyes and cheeks glistening with tears while voice began to crack.
“no, i don’t think you’re clingy at all. why don’t you get changed and i’ll be right here to hold you.” you nodded and changed into your pajamas. you walked over to yoko’s side of the room and immediately started crying more when she wrapped her arms around you.
-
the next morning you felt like complete shit. your body ached from the crouched position you slept in, eyes slightly burned from all the crying and your head was killing you. you take a quick shower and do the rest of your morning routine before dressing in your uniform.
“you ready?”
“as much as i can be, i guess.” you and yoko start your journey together to the quad for breakfast. problem was everyone shared one big table meaning you couldn’t avoid your boyfriends if you tried.
you kept your eyes trained on the ground as you took your seat next to wednesday after getting your food. everyone glancing at each other knowing that your normally sat next to ajax every morning while xavier sat in front of you guys. so the two of them took a seat across from you.
“we missed you last night honey. is everything okay?” xavier was the first one to break the silence between the three of you.
“i wasn’t feeling well,” you whispered as you picked at the plate in front of you.
“why didn’t you tell us? we would’ve stopped by your-“
“ajax i clearly didn’t want to see you guys! leave me alone,” pushing the plate away and grabbing your things you walked to your first class. which just so happens to be fencing, a class you shared with the two boys. the table was quiet and nobody moved, it was unnatural to see you guys like that.
“did she just call me ajax?”
“is that not your name, idiot?” enid is quick to slap wednesday’s arm and sending her a look.
“it’s not the same wednesday, she always calls us by nicknames,” ajax rubs the back of his neck in attempt to stop the embarrassment. although, through tears last night you made yoko promise not to say anything that didn’t stop her from sending glares their way.
-
the whole school day, you managed to avoid them even in the classes you shared. it’s not like you wanted to ignore your boyfriends but it hurt you to even hear a conversation like that. you didn’t know how to express your feelings to them, so the best bet was to avoid. the knock on your door pulls you out of your book that you were reading on your bed.
“come in!” the door slowly opens and in comes your boyfriends who looked like kicked puppies. you rolled your eyes and crossed your arms to your chest.
“baby, we just wanted to talk,” xavier takes slow steps towards your bed with ajax following right behind.
“what is there to talk about?”
“why are you avoiding us?”
“maybe just maybe i truly don’t want to talk to you guys. have you ever thought about that xavier?” the boy scoffed at you and shakes his head.
“don’t do that.”
“don’t do what?”
“he means don’t shut us out babe. just talk to us, tell us what happened.” you huffed at ajax’s words and stood up beginning to pace back and forth.
“how come you never told me that i was being clingy? i-i would’ve stopped but no my boyfriends decided to talk about me behind my back. so much for fucking communication, right?” you couldn’t stop the tears from falling down your face.
xavier and ajax shared a look now knowing why you were acting like that. they felt guilty because it wasn’t their intention to hurt you. ajax closed the distance to grab your cheek wiping the stray tears that fell.
“sweetheart, we love that you’re clingy! we didn’t mean it a bad way. in fact, if you stayed longer, you would’ve heard us agree on how cute we think it is.”
“ajax is right. we absolutely love that you’re open enough with us to even be like that. we know about your past and we’re so grateful that you trust us.” xavier was now right by your other side making you cry even more. you had been wrong about the situation.
“i’m sorry, i just thought of the worse and i didn’t even stop to talk to you guys,” you spoke in a hoarse whisper.
“c’mon i think we’re in need of a date.”
“jax right now? i look like shit,” you sniffled and gestures to your outfit. you were wearing some sweatpants and a hoodie you stole from xavier.
“i think you look perfect sunshine. put on your shoes, we’re definitely going out.” you pouted playfully at xavier who grabbed your sneakers and gave you a pointed look.
“this isn’t necessary! we could just stay in and cuddle for the rest of the day.”
“we can do that later. me and xavier need to make it up to you,” ajax grins as you put on your shoes.
you grabbed your book and put it in your tote bag. once you checked you that you had everything, you raised your arms giving both of your boyfriends a small smile, “tada all done.”
“beautiful. absolutely beautiful,” xavier was the first to wrap his arms around you pulling you into a much needed hug. his embrace was warm and even after only one day, you missed the feeling of being in his arms.
“stop hogging up our girlfriend! i want a hug too,” xavier pulled back to place a kiss on your lips and immediately ajax throws his arms around you. you laughed as the boy hugged you tighter.
“promise not to shut us out next time?” you nodded your head with a smile at ajax.
“i promise,” ajax kisses your lips and grabs your waist pulling you to the door where xavier stood waiting for you both.
“glad that’s out of the way, now let’s go to weathervane!”
you were so lucky to have two people that really cared about you and your feelings. although, xavier and ajax called themselves the lucky ones being that they were able to have you in their life.

could u do xavier and reader being rivals and he’s always calling reader babe and says “step up ur game, babe” 🧎‍♀️
I MIGHT START TO THINK
pairings: Xavier Thorpe x Fem!reader summary: ^^^ warnings: light swearing notes: the reader is said to had telekinesis. this is kind of really long
Tumblr media
Xavier sat across the room from you, watching as you wrote down in your book.
you two had no reason to not like each other, but it didn't stop you from tearing at each other's throats, throwing snarky comments and death glares at each other.
"so I've decided to set a goal for the class. over the semester, each week you'll be given different sets of tasks that you will need to complete. people who don't will get it done each week will be eliminated until only one stands and wins. He or She will win a prize" the teacher explained
"so it's a challenge to the best?" Xavier smirked at the teacher.
"exactly" she nodded
you looked back at Xavier as he turned to you again with a smug smile on his face
"these challenges will be set each monday and finish the following monday. they will be spread throughout all subjects, meaning some of you might have an advantage in some. they will include things like planting plants, training things, creating things and will be some that will involve studying and writing as well" the teacher announced
"what's our first challenge?" Yoko asked
"you'll be attempting to grow one of these flowers" she pointed to the ghost orchid in the case
"are there rules?" Enid questioned
"the only rule is no stealing each others work or plagiarism in the writing tasks. if you fail to do any of the work your will be disqualified. if your flower is dead or not yet bloomed it will be a fail and you are out" she replied with a smile
"each of you will be given one seed to grow. you will not be given another under any circumstances, they are all able to grow and if they can't it's because of you not the seed" she said, gowing around, handing a little zip-lock bag of a single seed in it to each student.
the bell rang for lunch and everyone got out of their seats
"see you next lesson!"
you walked out of the room, with a specific tall and long haired boy trailing behind you
"the game is on, babe" he winked when he walked past you, heading off with Ajax
--
you walked into class, holding your Orchid in a clay pot, seeing everybody else's
you saw Kent's and a few others wilted or hasn't blossomed orchids and smiled in your success in growing it
"mine looks better" his voice called from behind you, your rolled your eyes as you saw Xaviers flower
"it looks like it's about to die" you scoffed
"things are so much more beautiful when they're on the urge of death, it makes it more exciting" he remarked
"class! take your seats" Thornhill called, walking into the room. everyone took their seats and and she walked to each desk. telling people if their out or not
"well done, L/n" she nodded at you with an impressed look on her face. you turned behind you where Xavier sat.
"there's no way she'll except yours" you stated
"we'll see about that" he said before you turned around
she got to Xavier's table and looked at his orchid, she told him it looks good and that's he's still in before walke to the next person
"told you" he whispered, leaning over his desk to get to your ear
he made your blood boil.
Thornhill walked to the front of the room, explaining your next challenge for the people who were still in. the people who were eliminated had to 15 push ups
-
that went on for the whole semester. You and Xavier going at each other's throats, trying to get the best work in to make it better than the others
you would do better at some, he would do better at others. but this one who knew he would do better. there were 7 people left in the challenge and you were trying you best
it was a scavenger hunt with the ticket to be in the next round at the end.
you had been stuck on your third riddle for a few hours
"what could this mean?" you groaned, hanging upside down off your bed, talking to Enid who had gotten out in the fourth round.
"let me hear it again" she said
"I always stay as still as can be. I have the power to move, but not literally." you repeated for the millionth time
"still? a lot of things are still. but move? I'm not sure" she shrugged "i have the power to move, but not literally" she whispered to herself
"I thought trees at first but they can move in the wind" you stated
"that's true. what does it mean by it can move but not literally, if it can move, it can move. if it can't literally move then it can't move" she huffed
"I know"
you to sat there quietly while you thought
"well what if it's means you can move it but it can't move itself?" you suggested, getting some weird idea in your head
"that doesn't make sense though" she sighed
you looked at your desk, seeing a little figurine of a three headed dog
"A statue!?" you sat up on the bed and looked at her
she thought for a second, repeating the riddle before nodding her head
"that sounds right, but which one, there's a lot in our school" she pointed out,
"so I'll just look at all of them" you sighed before getting up, hurrying out the door, going the each statue
you got to your third one, the Poe statue, you looked around it, peaking around the legs and foot before you looked to what he was holding, a book with 5 envelopes, meaning 2 people already got it before you
"not too bad" you muttered to yourself
you grabbed the envelope, getting down and opening it, reading it to yourself
the second last clue.
I'm a bed without sheets, and I'm always dirty it read
"a dirty bed?" you thought to yourself, walking around the school
"you need to step up your game if you want to beat me. Babe" the familiar voice echoed throughout the room. you looked around but didn't see him, until you looked up, he leaned on the railings of the staircase
"stop calling me that" you huffed
"alright, babe" he smiled cockily
"are you holding a flower?" you questioned him confused
"why yes, do you want it?" he asked before dropping it, letting the small flower flow down to you.
you picked it up as it dropped at your feet. noticing the flower was ripped from the ground. you realised the answer to the riddle.
"thanks, Idiot" you laughed
"you're very welcome, babe" he smiled at you
you ran out and and went to the flowerbed in the yard of the school. you looked around everywhere for it but didn't find it anywhere. you questioned it before thinking of the other possibilities the clue could have lead to
"that doesn't make sense" you thought to yourself
you repeated your actions and looked over it again
"you look lost, babe. didn't think I was leading you to the answer, did you?" Xavier chuckled behind you
"it was the only reasonable answer" you rolled your eyes
"I would help you but I really want to win" he spoke disappointedly
"I don't need your help"
"sure seems like you do" he shrugged before walking off, past the garden beds where student grew some foods
your eyes lit up and you scurried over there, looking through the big lettuce, finding the last envelope, you thought for a second before taking the other one's too. throwing them away in the bin. there was no chance the other's would win this challenge without them, which meant more chance of beating Xavier
you read the letter
the building that has the most stories
you thought of the buildings in town, but there was no way she would make us go that far for it, and she said everything was on the premises, meaning it had to be in the school
you thought through
"stories, like history? like the most history it has to offer or tell?" Enid quizzed when you told her.
"maybe, but isn't a building, this is arguably the only building. so that doesn't help.
"what about rooms in the building? like the room that has the most history?" she lifted an eyebrow
"yeah, but what would that be? I would say the quad but that's not a room" you groaned
"what if the answer is really simple. like the history rooms?" she proposed
"I feel like it wouldn't be that easy. it had to be hard" you shook your head
"well stories are books, right? what about the library?" you thought
"that makes sense"
--
"thank god" you prayed, finding your ticket to the next round
"wow, didn't know you were this smart"
you turned around and saw Xavier
he walked up to you and reached over, grabbing his ticket and smiled down at you as he had you against the bookshelf of the open library
"though you're pretty stupid for leading me here, babe" he smirked down at you
"I didn't lead you here, you followed me" you glared up at him
"who cares, there's no rules" he whispered
"I'll beat you" you hissed
"i'm sure you will, babe" he pouted sarcastically
"you're an ass" you barked
"and you're a babe, babe" he winked
"get off me" you grunted, pushing him off you
"hey, hey, hey. don't resolve to violence, sweetheart" he chuckled softly
you walked past him. leaving the library
"good luck, babe!" he yelled out to you
--
only two remains in the challenge, you and Xavier
it was an in class test, Thornhill would say questions and you had to answer the fastest to get the point. they're questions of all topics
"what is a three headed dog called?" she asked
Xavier pressed his button "Cerberus"
"when was Jericho's first pilgrim settlement?"
"1625" you answered
"and who is Jericho's founder?"
"Joseph Crackstone" you answered first again
there's 50 answers in total. and the score is 23 both ways. 4 more questions to reveal the winner
"for the last questions, you will take turns answering, I'll ask you a question and if you get it wrong, you won't get the point and the question goes to the other person." Thornhill explains
"good luck, Babe. I'll go easy on you" he joked
"Xavier, what year was Ye Olde Fudgery established?" she asked
"1945" he said "that's wrong, mister Thorpe"
"you knew that one" you whispered to him.
"I know" he smiled
"Y/n, question goes to you"
you looked at Xavier before answering faulsley
"1955" you looked at her
"that's correct"
"alright then" he turned to Thornhill
"Y/n, what route are we located on"
you looked over at Xavier before purposely answering incorrectly
"route 54" you answered.
"wrong. Xavier" she turned to him
"route 22?" he replied, looking at you
"correct" she nodded
"Xavier, what do carnivorous plants reward their pollinators with?"
"sexual trickery"
"correct"
"the winner comes down to this last question" she paused "Y/n"
"yes" you nodded, ready for the question
"who was the artist who painted 'Mona Lisa?'" she asked
you took a deep breath before looking over at Xavier. you wanted to saw it, but something gold you not to. so you said someone else
"Michelangelo" you sighed
"that's incorrect. Xavier, same question"
he looked over at the regret on your face and didn't want to win if you were letting him
"Vincent van Gogh" he looked away from you as you stared at him
"we can't leave it as a tie. so we need another question"
"what are you doing? I was letting you win" you whispered
"I don't want to win" he confessed quietly
"Xavier? how many bones does an adult human have?" Thornhill questioned
"one hundred and fifty" Xavier answered incorrectly
"wrong, Y/n?"
"one hundred and ninety" you lied
this went on for a while, you two going back and fourth saying the wrong answers until Thornhill got disappointed
"alright then, both of you win" she sighed
"that's not how it works, there can only be one winner" you fought, looking at Xavier with a glare as you finished speaking
"then answer the question correctly, I know you know all of the answers" Xavier scoffed
"I know you do too" you crossed your arms
"that's enough you too. you both win"
---
"why'd you do that?" Xavier came up behind you
"what do you mean?" you blinked
"why did you try to let me win?" he threw his hand up in the air before dropping them to his sides
"you tried to let me win too" you laughed
"you did it first" he shrugged
"so you didn't need to continue it" you rolled your eyes
"you better stop doing that, babe. I might start to think you have a little crush on me" he smirked
"I might start to think that too"
"you wanna know what I think?" he looked at his feet
"let's hear it" you took a deep breath
"I think I like you" he confessed
"I think I hate you..." you said, his face slightly fell "...because I like you too much" you admitted
he smiled at you, showing his dimples
"scared me a little there, babe" he sighed

just hold my hand
percy hynes white x actress!reader
summary: you’re a new actress and percy helps you with your nerves when going to your first premiere.
warnings: reader has anxiety, hand holding, basically just fluff, cheek kisses
writers note: i didn’t do a lot of research on the cast, so i’m kinda just going based off the top of my head when describing them. also this is my first story, so please let me know if i should make more and what you would like to see if i do make more.
(lowercase is intentional, y/c means your character, m/a means makeup artist)
—-
you were new to all of this. playing as y/c in wednesday was your first big role and you were more than nervous. you have only ever had small roles. even after meeting all of the cast and clicking with them almost instantly, you still didn’t know exactly what to say or do. it was 5:17pm, almost time for the premiere and your anxiety is getting out of control.
there’s only a couple of people who you told about your anxiety, emma and percy. they were who really helped you when you came to set. the others helped too but not as much as them. they were so welcoming and made you feel so comfortable. you felt like you would never have to hide who you really were with them.
ever since you met percy, you had found him attractive. veryy attractive. his green eyes, pretty smile, and long brown hair were so mesmerizing, how could you not? he was also very funny and crazy. he always found a way to make everyone laugh. he was your favorite. as for emma, she was so sweet. she has the purest heart. she’s also real fun and has an amazing personality. same goes for jenna, joy, georgie, hunter, naomi, lucius, moosa, isaac, and the rest of the cast.
you were very happy with where you were in life. but because of how popular wednesday has become, there were so many cameras and articles on you. it was nerve wracking. but now you were getting your hair curled, while also getting your makeup done. the dress you were about to put on was a light gray/blue slim dress with an open back. it was very fancy. and probably very expensive but you weren’t worried about that.
you were worried about having so much attention on you. it was 5:48pm as soon as you were finished getting ready and you wanted to see percy. you needed to and fast. you knew he would help. he was only in the room across the hall, so you knew it wouldn’t be hard to find him. but when you knocked no one answered. you knocked a few more times until his makeup artist opened the door.
m/a: hi sweetie, how can i help you?
y/n: oh hi, is percy there?
m/a: oh no you just missed him. he went to get his tie in hunter’s room.
y/n: okay, thank you.
you then rushed to hunter’s room and knocked repeatedly. he opened the door and he could already tell that you were nervous because of how you were playing with your hands. secretly everyone knew that you had anxiety. even if you try to hide it, you don’t do a very good job. everyone also knew that when you are nervous you are more likely to be with percy or emma.
hunter: oh y/n, percy isn’t here.
y/n: where could he be?
you thought out loud and ran off before hunter could say anymore. you were now running down the hall looking for percy. this was scaring you. what if something bad happened. what if he got hurt. you were too caught up in your thoughts that you didn’t realize you bumped into someone. percy. you hugged him immediately. and it all had happened so fast, it took him a moment to notice is was you. but when he did, he hugged you back.
percy: you okay, bunny?
y/n: no
you hugged him even tighter and he kissed the top of your head. it was now 5:56pm and everyone was starting to head to the limo.
percy: we gotta go.
y/n: i’m scared.
percy: it’s okay, i’ll be with you the entire time. if you need just hold my hand.
y/n: okay.
since then you hadn’t let go of his hand. not once. you held it through the ride and during the entire premiere. you worried he might of thought of you as annoying or too clingy because of this but in all honesty he didn’t mind. he liked that you always wanted to be with him. the feeling was mutual.
when the premiere ended it was was almost 7:20pm. everyone was finishing up interviews and some were already leaving. you and percy are walking out hand in hand.
percy: see wasn’t so hard, was it?
y/n: it wasn’t so bad… thank you. i don’t think i could’ve ever done that if it weren’t for you.
you kiss his cheek and notice a slight blush appear on his cheek.
percy: anything for you bunny.
now it was your turn to blush. once you got to the hotel, you two split and said goodnight. jenna, joy and emma were sitting on your bed talking. you walked out of the bathroom, in your pjs and sat next to joy. you guys ordered dinner and hung out for a while. it was almost 10pm and you were getting tired.
emma: sooo, how was your nighttt?
y/n: it was good.
emma: ooo, i bet it was.
y/n: what’s that supposed to me?
joy: oh come on, you were holding percy’s hand all night and even kissed his cheek.
jenna: you like him, don’t you?
y/n: what, no! i don’t what you guys are talking about. and i have to go to sleep, so goodnight.
you got under the covers, closed your eyes and fake snored. they laughed and went to sleep themselves.
the end

could you do a ajax x fem reader (they are already together) where they had a fight and reader is giving him the silent treatment
silence
summary | ajax has stoned himself more times than he count but during his most important day, he stoned himself leaving you high and dry
pairing | ajax petropolus x fem!reader
warning | angst, fluff ending, ajax being a hot mess
word count | 2.1k
It was a dumb fight, you knew it while sitting on your bed instead of going to the Rave’N. Ajax was the one to propose a date the weekend before, hoping he could ask you to the Rave’N even though the two of you were together, he wants to make it feel special for you. 
Ajax had already mastered showering with his snakes since he was a kid. Back home, there weren't even mirrors in the bathroom but now at Nevermore, he just used a towel to cover the mirror while he showered so he wouldn’t stone himself, which happened more than he would like to admit.
“No!” He pulled his hand forward, just mere seconds later, completely stoned. Though he was stoned, it was temporary, returning back to normal 3 hours later, but leaving you alone. 
All Ajax could do while under his spell, he could just see your sullen face when you finally realized that he wouldn’t make it. 
Meeting him in your usual meeting spot, you were already early, just sitting on the bench. Eventually, you looked down at your phone seeing that Ajax was 10 minutes late, you put no mind to it, knowing you’ve been late a few times but as the clock kept going, 10 minutes to 30, 30 to an hour, you gave up on the date. 
Making your way to his door, you knocked loudly, knowing he didn’t have a roommate. “Ajax!”
Hearing silence, you knocked on the door again. Accepting that he wasn’t going to answer or he wasn’t in the room, you sighed, holding back your tears before going back towards your bedroom. 
Feeling his senses came back, Ajax shut his eyes, grabbing the towel before coming out of the bathroom, looking over at the time, it was well past midnight, knowing he missed the date. Dressing himself as quickly as he could, Ajax was able to pass the housemaster and made his way towards your dorm. 
Coming up to your dorm, he knocked softly, remembering how you told him that your roommate went home for the weekend. “Y/n, please.”
You stood on the other side of the door, your hand hovering over the handle, deciding if you should open it or not.
Ajax was happy that you opened the door, but frowned seeing your tear stained cheeks and red eyes. 
“Oh, now you're ready.” You said sarcastically. “Should have told me we were going for a midnight rendezvous, where were you Ajax?”
Conflicted, Ajax couldn’t tell you about what really happened, being embarrassed at himself, trying to think of the quickest lie that could slip through his tongue. 
“I was with Enid.” He blurted out, wincing slightly. God, why did he say that, seeing your face drop was worse than telling you what really happened.
You just closed your eyes, taking a deep breath because you truly don’t want to be angry or yell at him. “And what were you doing with Enid?”
Your eyes were still closed as you answered, and what Ajax said hurt you, deeply, “I asked her to the Rave’N.”
Opening your eyes, you saw that Ajax eye’s were now closed. Hearing you sniffle, Ajax looked at you, seeing the tears freely falling down your cheeks. 
“I can’t talk to you tonight,” Your voice wavering, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
You slammed the door in your face. Ajax just stood numbly at your door, hearing you let out a loud sob. He should have told you the truth, saying how it was a mistake and you’d forgive him in a heartbeat, now he’s leaving you heartbroken, probably questioning if the two of you should even be together anymore. 
The following morning, you woke up with swollen eyes and cheeks. You went about your morning as normal which meant meeting with Ajax to walk to class. Keeping with your routine, you walked out of your dorm to see him leaning against one of the statues. Making your way towards him, silently grabbing his hand, lacing his fingers with yours, you walked to class. 
“Are you ready to talk?” He noticed how you made a detour in your path, turning back towards the inside of the school instead of going out to the quad for breakfast. Standing in front of the familiar Poe Statue, the two of you made way in the Nightshade library. 
“I think we should take a break.” You knew this conversation was bound to happen, you kept overplaying the events in your head, and couldn’t bear to hear him want to break up with you, so keeping your space would be the best.
“What?” He faltered. 
“Please Ajax,” Strike one, you barely called him his full name since being together, always Jax, or whatever nickname you desired that day. “I’m your girlfriend and you asked another girl to the Rave’N!”
Your voice started to get louder, your tone turning more angry. “At least you were nice enough to tell me instead of letting me be embarrassed.”
“No, no that’s not true.” He shook his head rapidly, trying to grab your hand, watching as you pulled it away from him. 
“Do not touch me!” You were almost screaming at his point, all your sadness now turning into anger. “God, and I thought you loved me, maybe even at least liked me but instead I’m just some piece of meat you can throw around for the fun of it.”
Done with the conversation and him, you started to make your way back out to class, not listening to his pleas for you to say and talk. 
Since then, it was like you disappeared, Ajax never saw you in halls, with your friends, and whenever he did see you in class, you’d sit in the furthest seat from him. He tried to talk to you, and whenever he did you walked the other way or just flat out ignored him.
As the Rave’N approached, seeing all your friends getting excited about their outfits and dates, you just sat in silence listening to them all. 
“We’re gonna go shopping tomorrow, you wanna come?” You looked over at Yoko who was indicting her, Divina and Bianca. You still hadn’t told them about you and Ajax.
“I’m not going.” You said, your lips in a straight line.
“What?” Bianca looked at you in shock. 
“Ajax is going with Enid.” You said simply, looking back down at your textbooks. The three girls all shared looks of confusion with you, before turning back to speak to you seeing that you already were done with the conversation. “And I have been giving him the silent treatment since.”
Saturday morning, the day of the Rave’N, you just thought of it as a normal day, going down for breakfast by yourself now instead of with Ajax. 
Ajax had already been down at breakfast with Xavier who had talked an earful into him the past few days about the situation that occurred last weekend. 
“There’s your chance, go talk to her.” Xavier encouraged. Since meeting Ajax, he knew that sometimes he couldn’t really put his thoughts into words, constantly saying the wrong things. 
Slowly making his way towards you, you kept your back towards him. “Y/n.”
Not answering him, Ajax tried again, “Y/n.” Finally seeing that you were ignoring him, Ajax just sighed softly and went back to sit down. 
“She won’t even answer me.” He sighed watching you go sit with your friends.
Xavier just nodded silently not wanting to bud his head into whatever was going on with the two of you. 
As the day started to pass, everyone was getting ready for the dance. You helped your roommate with her hair and makeup, just ignoring her pleas to join her and her date. 
“Just go.” You smiled softly, “I’ll be fine on my own.”
You loved Liv, she was your best friend and she knew that you were looking forward to going to Rave’N with Ajax. 
Meeting her date at the entrance, the two of them walked in together, Ajax noticing Liv. 
“Hey Liv!” He yelled out to her. 
“Ajax.” She said coldly, she had comforted you over the past few days post breakup and heard all about him, “Aren’t you supposed to be with Enid?”
Wincing, Ajax sighed knowing that you told her, “Look, last weekend when me and Y/n were suppose to go out, I accidentally stoned myself and stood her up and when I went to go tell her, I froze and lied said I was with Enid and asked her to Rave’N. I was embarrassed to tell her what happened and now she won’t speak to me and I wanted to tell her the truth but she’s not here.”
Conflicted, Liv could tell that he was sincere, he loved you, looking at you like you hung from the stars, and she knew you held the same amount of love for him even after you broke up with him. 
“She didn’t come.” Liv said softly, “She didn’t want to see the two of you together, she’s in her room.”
Before Ajax could run off, Liv grabbed him by the wrist, pulling him back. “If I hear another peep about you hurting her in any way, I will go full wolf and attack, you hear me.”
Ajax stared in shock, nodding his head, whispering out a quiet, “yes” before running out. 
“Liv, I’m not going!” You sighed hearing her knock on the door, “I already told you.” 
Hearing the knock again, you grumbled stomping towards it, “Liv just-what are you doing here?”
Out of breath, Ajax was panting as he spoke, “I’m sorry that I ditched you, I was dumb and stoned myself in the bathroom and made a lie about you because I was embarrassed, I know your mad at him, I mean who wouldn’t be, and I came to say I’m-”
“Woah, woah, slow down.” You nodded. 
“I’m an idiot.” He confessed, slowly holding your hands in his. “I was a shitty boyfriend, I lied to you because I was embarrassed of myself and made you feel horrible. I know that you were looking forward to going to the Rave’N and you’re here because of me. This probably won’t make up for any of it but I wanted to ask you to the dance last weekend, had a whole thing planned and I ruined it.”
You just stared at him, letting go of his hands, before punching his bicep. 
“Ow!” He furrowed his brows, rubbing his arm. Grabbing a hold of his jacket, you pulled him down towards you, smashing your lips onto his. Sliding your hands up to his neck, you licked his bottom lip, wrapping your lips around his bottom. Pulling apart, you let out a ‘pop’ as you came apart. 
“I’m so confused.” He said in a daze. 
“You’re an idiot.” You spoke to him for the first time in a week. “A lovesick idiot.” 
Ajax watched as a small smile appeared on your face, before morphing into laughter. Puzzled, he just stared at you like a madman. 
“You stoned yourself.” You spoke through your laughter. Ajax couldn’t be mad, just happy you were even speaking to him.
“A-Are we okay?” He questioned. Composing yourself, you stood back up, smiling at him again. 
“We’re okay.” You said, “And I’m sorry for yelling at you and ignoring you.”
“You had every right.” Ajax persisted, “The things I said to you were terrible, but hopefully we can be together again, no more break and I could take you to the Rave’N.”
“Ask me.” You prompted, Ajax looked at you confused before the bell went off in his head. 
“Y/n, would you like to go to the Rave’N with me?”
“Of course.” You whispered, kissing his cheek softly. Pulling him back into your room, you scrambled all around getting ready in record time, applying the finishing touches to your outfit and makeup. 
Escorting you back down, making a fashionably late entrance, you saw your group of friends smiling at the two of you. 
“Please say you’re back together?” Liv asked suddenly, “It’s been killing us, we’re like children of divorce.” The rest all agreed with her.
“We never broke up, we were on a break.” You laced your fingers with his. “But yes we’re together.”
“Great, can you please enjoy tonight then.” Smiling, you all made your way to the dance floor, everyone dating with their dates and each other.
Ajax’s arms were wrapped around your waist, your hands around his neck, the two of you dancing along to the music.
As the song came to end, being replaced with a slower song, you felt Ajax pull you closer towards him, your head resting on his chest, guiding you to lightly sway back and forth. 
Closing your eyes, you smiled against his chest, never expecting to be here and with your boyfriend. 
“I love you.” You heard him whisper into your ear. “I always do.”
“I love you too, my love.”

Tumblr media
THE WHOOPS AND CHEERS COULD BE HEARD FROM THE CROWD AS MY TEAM AND I HUDDLED IN EACH OTHERS ARMS, THE TROPHY IN THE MIDDLE OF US. There was a bright smile on my face as we jumped up and down, even Wednesday had a small smirk. 
Basking in the afterglow of our win, my eyes scanned around for my boyfriend, wanting to playfully rub the victory in his face. We were competitive in nature, so we took no offense by the other’s gloating. I spotted him in what looked like a semi-heated exchange with Xavier from where I was standing. 
I pushed my way through my team and told them I’d be right back before heading over in their direction. However, before I could make it within hearing distance of their group, Ajax was shaking his head and walking off, not before giving Xavier the finger.
A frown etched its way onto my face as I watched Ajax disappear up the hill, back to the main Nevermore grounds. “Jax!” I tried once, but he was much too far away to hear me, especially over the noise.
Instead of turning around, I made my way over to Xavier instead. Pulling on his shoulder to get him to turn around. He swiftly knocked his shoulder back, brushing off my touch with a scowl on his face.
“Woah. It’s just me-”
“What do you want?” He groaned. The hell is his problem? I thought to myself. Pinching my eyebrows together, I gave him just as much attitude as he gave me. You get what you give, right?
“I want to know why my boyfriend just left.”
“Why would I know?” He shot back.
“Because he was talking to you before he went stomping off like a child.” I retorted, growing aggravated with the boy in front of me. Xavier and I were friends., but that didn’t exclude me, nor Ajax or any of his friends, from his occasional temper tantrums. He was very…moody, for lack of better phrase.
“Because he is. And I’m not his babysitter, alright? So, you wanna know what’s wrong with Ajax? Ask him your damn self.” Was all he said, more like barked, at me before he disappeared into the crowd. 
Leaving me alone, arms crossed and face scrunched in anger. I let out a puff of air and followed in Ajax’s trail up to Nevermore. “Asshole…” I mumbled.
REACHING THE BOY'S DORM, I SPOTTED EUGENE IN THE HALLS. “Eugene!” I called, the short, curly-haired boy turning to meet my eyes with a bright, kiddy smile. “Is Ajax in his dorm?” 
“Um, he should be. I think I saw him come in. Can’t be too sure, though.” I nodded at him with a tight-lipped smile. 
“Thanks.” 
Continuing down the hall to where I remembered his room to be, I could hear music playing faintly and there were the shadows of footsteps pacing back and forth underneath the door frame. Standing directly in front of the door now, the music was much louder and I could hear the pacing, light thuds going from one side of the room to the other.
I knocked, moderately loud, waiting a few moments before knocking again — this time harder.
“I’m busy!” A voice called back. Ajax’s voice. I rolled my eyes and knocked again — longer this time, and much harder. “I said I’m busy!”
I let out a deep breath and groaned, throwing my head back. “Ajax, it’s me! Open the door!” I called as loud as I could, not worrying much to disturb the rest of the dorm considering most of them were outside still congratulating the winning team, my team.
Suddenly, the music was being turned down and the thudding footsteps were longer going side to side and instead, straight for the door. It was seconds before the knob was turning and the door was swinging open, quite aggressively might I add. No words were exchanged, just looks.
Ajax raised an impatient brow at me, a silent question of what I wanted or what I was doing here. I scoffed before rolling my eyes and dipping under his arm that was outstretched across the doorway to enter his room. I could hear him sigh behind me before the door shut.
I look around, as if I had never been in here, before turning back to face him and plopping on the bed — still adorned in my skin-tight catsuit and makeup that was still partially there. 
Ajax stood in his original place by the door, the music still playing but at a reasonable volume this time. His arms were crossed as he looked at me — joker make-up long gone off of his face but he still had on the rest of his ensemble. 
I simply crossed one leg over the other and smiled at him. “So…” I tried, putting on a playful tone to try and bring one out of him. 
He shrugged his shoulders quickly and drew his lips into a thin line. “So?”
I sighed and let my shoulders deflate in defeat. “Ajax, what’s wrong? You didn’t even stay to congratulate me. I would have stayed for you.”
Then he was running a hand down his face in frustration. “Y/n, my team lost. Why would I stay? If you came here for a congratulations, then here — congratulations.” He snarked, throwing his hands out to the sides.
I stood up from his bed and walked over to stand in front of him, maybe a ruler of space between us now. “Okay, seriously, what is wrong with you? It’s just a game.”
He scoffed. “Yeah, to you, maybe.” He started, leaning down slightly to eye-level with me. “I was the reason my team lost. Do you know how bad that sucks?”
My neck reeled back slightly at his statement. “Ajax, what are you talking about? Your team lost because my team fucked with your boat. Simple as that. You had an advantage and we took it from you. That’s it.”
“Yeah, well, tell Xavier that.” I tilted my head in confusion. The anger was gone from his voice, replaced by regret and disappointment. “He said it was my fault we lost. That I took too long to get our flag.” 
I couldn’t help but laugh. God, I love Xavier but he can be a real dick sometimes. “You know how he gets sometimes, Jax. Don’t listen to him.”
“It’s kind of hard not to when he’s fucking screaming in my ear.” 
My arms went around his neck as I pecked his forehead. “You’re friends with a loveable douchebag. You should know this by now.” His arms encircled my waist, pulling me into him for comfort as he buried his face in my neck.
“I was so close to taking my hat off and stoning him.” He mumbled into my shoulder. I couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped me, walking him backwards to his bed as carefully as I could without being able to see it. 
When the back of my knees hit the mattress, I let both of our bodies fall back into the cushioned surface. He was kind of heavy but it was nothing I wasn’t used to. I maneuvered us, with some of Ajax’s help, until I leaned against the headboard with him on top of me — head on my chest, arms around my hips as his legs spread around mine. 
I rubbed the back of his neck and let him find comfort in my presence. “If it makes you feel any better,” I started in a low-tone, not wanting to break the moment. “Even if we hadn’t messed with your boat, Xavier would have cost you guys the win anyway. He was too focused on Wednesday to even row his paddles correctly. I looked over and he was rowing backwards.”
This elicited a laugh, vibrating from his chest and onto my lap. His embrace around me got tighter, just by a little bit. “How’d you know I was in here?” He mumbled.
I shrugged. “I saw you take off after we got the trophy. Asked Xavier where you went and he was being all pissy. I just guessed. I mean, where else would you go?”
“I was gonna come to you but I didn’t want to upset you. You looked happy. You won and you were celebrating, I didn’t want to ruin that for you.”
Moving the hand that was stroking the back of his neck to hold his chin, I lifted his gaze to meet mine. I smiled sheepishly at him, making one equally as genuine appear on his own face. “Now, you’re happy too. That’s the only win I need.”
He laughed and buried his face into my stomach, tickling me. “Cheesy…” He said, muffled into my suit.
“Truthful.”

Hello can you do a Ajax reader when the reader has been dating Ajax months ago but still shy, Ajax noticed and decide to confront her about that. With fluff please 💕✨
of course!! I didn't understand well what you meant with being shy but I hope you like it!
GORGEOUS
Ajax Petropolus x shy!reader
summary: when Ajax noticed how you would never look at his face, he decided to confront you.
WARNINGS! use of pet names like "my love" and "baby", fluffiness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Something that always plagued Ajax's mind was the fact that you couldn't look at his face, even after months in a relationship with you.
He always wondered if it had something to do with his snakes or even if he was ugly. Of course, you always assured him that he was pretty and when you two were alone, you would shower him with small kisses around his face or arms, but still, you couldn't look at his face.
When Ajax first met you, he thought that you were the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen, you were always so quiet and if it wasn't Thornhill's project, he wouldn't even know how your voice sounded like. He never cared about the fact that you didn't liked to talk, he would do it for you if you asked, he loved to help you and hold your hand when you needed to do something that was out of your comfort zone.
He knew that you were shy and sometimes a pile of nerves, that's why he never confronted you about the "look at anything else but him" thing, but he was starting to grow worried.
That's why he was stuck in Enid's room rambling about it.
— Is it my face? I don't know!- he exclaimed and Enid only watched him amused.
— Ajax, I'm pretty sure that this have nothing to do with your face, you should just talk to them you know?- she chuckled and the boy sighed.
— Maybe, I'll invite them to my dorm today and then we can talk, I guess- he looked at the blonde.
— They're just shy, I don't think you need to worry about it- she raised her eyebrows- I think it's kinda cute how they blush and hide their face on your shoulder whenever you kiss them- she said and he smiled.
— Yeah, they're really cute and beautiful, they're adorable in any way- he muttered and Enid chuckled, seeing her best friend in love was something else, Ajax was a talker and when the subject was you, he would go about it for hours.
When he finally found you in the library, he was quick to take your hand.
— Jax, hi- you said quietly, slightly startled by him.
— Sorry love, are you busy?- he asked and you put your book back in the shelf.
— Not really, why?- you asked.
— Can we talk?- he asked and your heart raced, but nodded, he smiled gently and started to guide you to his room.
— Is everything okay?- you asked and looked around, his room were always so messy but somehow he always found his things, you tried to organize it uncountable times but when you came back it was a mess again.
— Baby, be honest with me, why can't you look into my face? It's been months and you can't even look at me when we're kissing or alone- he sighed- Is there something wrong with me?- his shoulders slumped.
Your heart almost exploded and you were quick to shake your head.
— There is nothing wrong with you Jax, it's just...- you stopped and fidgeted with your fingers, he took your chin between his fingers and you felt your face burning.
Lifting your head, his eyes searched for your but you would look at him for a brief second and look away.
— Just what?- he asked. Your hands got sweaty and you felt the stuttering in your throat.
— You... you, you are... gor-gorgeous- you stuttered and he frowned, but the corner of his mouth curled up in amusement.
— Your point?- he teased and you made a sound with your mouth, you just wanted to jump inside of a black hole, but you took a deep breathe.
— You're so gorgeous that I can't even look at your face without blushing or stuttering, it's just... I don't want to embarrass myself- you rambled and again, looked to every part of his room but him.
— Love, you wouldn't embarrass yourself, I find you adorable, but I kinda want you looking at me when we talk- he said and you just blushed more, he laughed- Aw baby, I didn't even do anything!- he hugged your waist and you felt like you would combust any moment.
— You're so gorgeous that it makes me mad sometimes- you muttered and he held your cheeks, your eyes couldn't focus on anything else now, since he was looking deeply into them.
— Look at me- he demanded and you finally took courage to look at him, he smirked- You're so much prettier than me, if someone needed to be flustered here, it would be me because you're the prettiest thing I've ever laid my eyes on- he said an you just blushed more and more.
But you couldn't look away now, feeling trapped on his embrace and caged inside of his deep brown eyes.
— Can I kiss you?- he asked and you didn't thought twice before nodding.
Ajax's lips touched yours and the moment was magical for both of you, he leaned you on the wall and caressed your cheek, your hands find the way to the back of his neck, one of his snakes nibbling your hand.
When you two pulled away you swore that you were seeing stars.
— So, I actually thought that I was ugly at the point that you couldn't even look at me, but finding out that you can't look at me because I'm pretty is way more interesting- he laughed and you groaned shoving your face in the crook os his neck- Come on, I want to see your pretty face, my love- he gently took your face again.
Your cheeks were deep tones of red and he could see how your eyes tried to look at anything else but him, but he felt lucky.
Lucky that it was you, you were the person who couldn't look at his face because you thought he was gorgeous and that caused a stutter and flushed face, he felt lucky because he knows that you're the prettiest thing in the world and in a certain way, you only had eyes for him.
And honestly, now that he knows the reason of your shyness, he took it as a compliment.
— You're gorgeous too, my love- he whispered and saw the little smile that accompanied the red on your face.
He loved it.

WHOOPS!
pairings: Xavier Thorpe x Reader summary: ^^^^ warnings: nothing really pretty short.
Tumblr media
you felt arms wrap around you as you sat at a table, reading
"hey" he whispered
"hey Kent!" you giggled mischiefly, flipping the page of the book
"what did you say?" Xavier questioned, spinning your chair around for you to face him
"whoops, sorry baby" you smiled at him, leaning up to kiss him
"no" he shook his head "you're not kissing me until I get some answers young lady"
"I'm sorry, I just thought it was Kent" you shrugged
Xavier took a deep breath through his nose while he clenched his jaw, leaning down to come face to face with you
"you think you're being funny?" he asked rhetorically
"what's there to be funny?" you tilted your head
he licked his lips, letting his dimples become more defined
"so you're telling me that Kent wraps his arms around you? is that why you thought it was him?" he chuckled angrily
"it's not that big of a deal" you rolled your eyes playfully, spinning your chair around to continue reading
"hey, we're not done here, Missy" he stated, spinning you back around
"I'm sorry ok, I didn't think it was you" you apologised
"you say that as if I don't do that on a regular basis, what else does Kent do, mh?" he leaned down, his jealousy was showing as he stroked your cheek
"nothing" you denied cheekily
"does he make you smile the way I do?" he inquired
"no" you laughed
"hm, does he make you laugh the way I do?"
you shook your head, looking down at your feet
"does he make you nervous the way I do?" he whispered
"no, Xavier" you looked back up at him

"so what does he do?" he questioned
"he does nothing, I was joking around, Xav" you giggled, placing your hands on his
"oh, you better be, Missy, or I swear to god you'll pay for it" he shook his head in disappointment

When The Lights Go Out.
Feat — Ajax Petropolus x Nevermore!Reader
Contains — No Established Relationship, Mutual Pining, Besties to Lovers (Sorta Technically Yes but Not Official), Teen Substance Use, Teen Drinking, Those Stereotypical American Style Parties You See With The Red Solo Cups (Except Classier?), also Drunk Confessions
Length — ~3.5k words
Notes — These fics just keep getting longer haha ALSO! For the sake of my personal plot purposes, Rowan does not d*e at the Harvest Festival. As far as we’re concerned, it didn’t happen. ALSO! You should all know me by now: My work is done at 3 am, therefore it’s not proofread. Amen.
Tumblr media
“You have to come to the Nightshades Harvest Party!”
You rolled your eyes at Kent’s request. Leave it to him to make the secret school society not so secret in the middle of the school quad. Divina gave him a small punch to his side before looking back at you expectantly from across the table bench.
“All I’m saying is, the last person who was a downer got kicked out. Now look at him,” Kent gave an obvious look to Rowan Laslow, who was making his way out of the overgrowing quad population due to lunch hour.
“What he’s trying to say is, you’re practically a part of the Nightshades anyway. You know the code, who’s in it, where we’re located. Everything!” Divina explained. “Plus, we’re down a member anyway.”
“Lovely to know I’m Rowan Laslow’s replacement.” You snorted. You had nothing against the guy, but the twins were really not selling the idea to you at all. In fact, you didn’t even want to go to the Jericho Harvest Festival but attendance was mandatory.
“If it was Ajax asking then you’d say yes.” Kent crossed his arms, fake pouting at you. You flicked a piece of your lunch at him, hitting him directly between his eyes. He winced, holding the bridge of his nose as Divina snickered.
“Because Ajax is my best friend, and I know he wouldn’t tell me dumb stuff to get me to go.”
“Go where?” You heard a familiar voice call behind you. Turning to find Ajax, you moved your bag for him to sit next to you.
“Nowhere. Just a totally secret school society party that you would know nothing about.” You shrugged nonchalant as he sat down with you. He let out a small scoff with a smile. The smile you had been in love with for the past 6 months despite you knowing him for over 2 years.
“Technically you’re not supposed to know about it, but I guess people can’t keep their mouths shut.” Divina immediately pointed a finger at Kent who immediately pointed one back at her.
“Says the guy who can’t keep his mouth shut either, Mr. I Know When I’m High.” You mocked him, remembering the time he admitted he was in the Nightshades to you after a particularly long session of hotboxing Xavier’s shed before he repurposed it as his own.
“As far as we’re concerned, you practically pledged that night. He was not making it back to his dorm in one piece under Principal Weems radar.” Divina raised her hands in defeat.
“If I go, will you guys stop bugging me about being in the ever so definitely-totally-super-secret-definitely-not-notorious-amongst-half-the-student-body Nightshades?” You dramatically brought the back of your hand to your forehead in fake woe. Ajax took the opportunity to steal a bit of your food, which had you quickly swat away his hand away.
“Yeah, yeah. All that and more, just come to the party. It’ll be fun, I promise.” Ajax wrapped an arm around you reassuringly, to which you just rolled your eyes before reluctantly nodding. In that moment, you could’ve sworn you saw Divina slip Kent $10 underneath the table. You couldn’t tell though, because your food was stolen yet again.
Harvest Festival.
It wasn’t a particularly cold evening in Jericho, not with all the people gathered into one area. The sounds of carnival games and buzz from normies and outcasts alike filled the air. Along with the incredibly delicious scent of cotton candy, which you definitely wanted to get a grab of when you could.
“We have to try this out next, please!” Ajax was practically dragging you to each game in attempts to try them all. The “please” was just something his mothers taught him to add to every sentence at this point with how much he was pleading. You’d have to tell them both how annoying he was next Parents Weekend.
“Jax, please, I cannot carry another giant stuffed animal. We’re gonna have to give these to Enid’s collection at this point.” You were muffled underneath the mounds of faux fur in your arms. It was hard to say no with Ajax holding your wrist so carefully despite him pulling you to another booth, especially since you were pretty much blind with all the prizes you had gotten.
He finally stopped at a booth that seemed to his liking, and you managed to find a nice spot on the ground for all your stuffed wonders to watch. The booth was definitely haphazardly thrown together, you could tell it was a scam.
“Hit three balloons in a row and you get a prize!”
You looked at Ajax, brow raised as he excitedly handed the game master his money. Your lips tugging into a downward smile, he was unbelievably dense but he also happened to be the guy you had a crush on. So who was really in their right mind here?
“Easy win, I got this!” He picked up the darts in front of him. They were absolutely sanded down to be duller than a pencil, but who was gonna notice with all the commotion going on. You watched as he threw each one by one into the 3 by 3 board holding balloons that held less than enough air to be popped. Each of them ricocheting off or completely missing the balloons.
“Nice try, young man. How about your partner over here has a go instead?” The game master wiggled his eyebrows. Your eyes widened as he said that, immediately you tried to stammer out a no but words couldn’t escape your mouth.
“Hell yeah!” Ajax handed him another $3 before pulling you close to him. Your head spun at the situation, it wasn’t like you two hadn’t made close contact before. He was constantly clingy with all his friends. Even Xavier wasn’t safe from him and he was Nevermore’s self proclaimed tortured artist. The “partner” thing definitely had you in for a loop, and Ajax didn’t even deny it.
“You know what to do, hit three to get a prize.”
You slowly picked up a dart from the table, trying hard not to think about Ajax’s hands resting on your shoulders as he cheered you on. You knew why most people didn’t win these, and it was because they never thought to throw hard enough thinking it was easy. Either that or they just couldn’t aim correctly, and you were definitely part of the latter. It’s why Xavier couldn’t let you join the Archery club, something about being a hazard to society. As far as you were concerned, most outcasts were.
You took a deep breath, focusing on the balloons and willing your wrist to move. You pinpointed as best as you could and threw haphazardly, somehow making two in a row. You could feel Ajax hold his breath as his grip on your shoulder tightened ever so slightly. You took another deep breath, aiming for the last balloon in the top right. You threw the dart, eyes closing as the dart left your fingers, awaiting the disappointing sound of the metal hitting the cork wall. It never came.
Your ears were filled with a satisfying pop, an exciting cheer of Ajax behind you, and the game master sputtering to himself. You opened your eyes, seeing your throw had made its mark. You turned to Ajax beaming, he wrapped his arms around your waist, picking you up in excitement. You yelped as he did, but a laugh soon replaced it.
“Alright, lovebirds, pick your prize.” The game master grit his teeth, still putting on a fake smile. You looked to Ajax expectantly, seeing what he wanted. He proceeded to turn you back around, letting you look at the prizes yourself.
“You won, fair and square. Your choice.” He whispered into your ear, your thoughts honing into his voice over the loud carnival sounds. It sent a shiver up your spine that you had to shake off. Scanning the prizes carefully, you noticed a giant snake plushie hiding amongst the large bunnies and usual game prizes. You eagerly pointed to it, and the game master begrudgingly handed it over. You thanked the man despite his attempts at scowling at you both.
“Why would you need that? You have a better one right here!” Ajax pout, one of his snakes wriggling it’s way out of his cap. You laughed before giving the small reptile a boop on its head, which had it going back into its spot in the darkness of his beanie.
“Well, this one is less likely to stone me.” You held the stuffed animal close. Ajax picked up the other stuffed prizes he had won with a sigh.
“You know I would never purposefully try to stone you.” Ajax mumbled sadly behind his stuffies, to which you grabbed his hand gently.
“I know you wouldn’t,” You reassured him. “Now do you want to attend the Nightshades party tonight or not? You did a lot of convincing just to get me to go so I’d hate to miss it.” You showed him your phone screen which lit up the time.
“Oh, shit! We’re gonna be late, Bianca’s gonna have my head for this one.” Ajax started pushing his way through the crowds. You quickly followed suit, trying to not draw too much attention. It definitely seemed like Ajax was dragging you to another game though, a lot of your classmates wide eyed at all your prizes. You spotted Enid along the way out, and quickly pulled Ajax’s hoodie to prevent him from running further.
“Enid, hey, these are for you!” Ajax understood, pouring the mass amounts of aliens and bunnie and other toys he had won into her arms. You kept your prize wrapped around your neck, wanting to keep that one for yourself.
“What?” She gasped as she had to hand Wednesday her funnel cake, the ravenette begrudgingly taking it.
“See you!” Your voice was caught in the wind as Ajax had grabbed your hand, intertwining your fingers with his as he pulled you along. It really didn’t matter if you two were late, but Ajax always liked being early to snag some of the snacks Yoko made before everyone else could. You were definitely sure it was for when he needed munchies.
Nightshades Library.
Snap, snap!
The Edgar Allen Poe statue opened itself to you and Ajax, the metal creaking itself into placed with a final thud of the open door. Ajax allowed you in first, before stepping in himself. The doorway closed behind you two with another thud, and your senses began to fill with light music. You squinted in the darkness, seeing the dim lighting of the Nightshades library at the bottom of the steps. Slowly making your way down, you were met with all your friends already talking and eating and dancing. You two were definitely late.
“Well, well. Where were you two lovebirds?” Yoko had noticed you two first as she was closest to the stairs by the makeshift bar already preparing a few drinks.
“Someone lost track of the time because he was too excited by normie games.” You raised your hand to point at Ajax, not realizing you were still holding his hand. Immediately you slipped your hand from his, warmth enveloping your face. He took that as his cue to leave, grabbing a few snacks from Yoko and saying hello before making his way to Xavier.
“He still hasn’t picked up on it, has he?” She took a sip of her Bloody Mary, and you knew that absolutely wasn’t tomato juice filling it.
“Nope,” You grabbed a pretzel from the snack bowls, making yourself comfortable on the barstool in front of her. “But I don’t mind, it’s not like I want him to know anyway.”
“Gods, you both are dense.” You heard Kent’s voice pull up next to you.
“Honestly, Y/N, have you considered he likes you too?” And there was Divina in the other seat. Great, now you were surrounded. You huffed jokingly before greeting the two. Thankful you didn’t need to see an optometrist from how much you rolled your eyes at their idiotic quips.
“Yoko, make me a glass of whatever. I’m gonna need something if these two keep pestering me tonight.” You pinched the bridge of your nose. Kent exaggerated a gasp, mouth agape with eyes wide as if you were accusing him. You attempted to flick the pretzel you were holding at him, but unfortunately he had expected it.
“You don’t see me pestering you about the snake plushie around your neck, but please, keep accusing me.” Divina took a sip of her drink. You looked down at the stuffed prize, removing it from your neck before setting it upon the table with a boop on its nose. You smiled, remembering how Ajax had cheered you on and held you close and picked you up.
“Long Island Iced Tea.” Yoko set down a tall glass in front of you, snapping you out of your thoughts. You looked at the drink before looking at her.
“You really just threw everything in here, didn’t you?” You took a sip, feeling the alcohol down your throat.
“I emphasize amateur when I say I’m a mixologist, don’t I?” She shrugged. “Now tell us about this, did he win it for you?” She poked it with a stirring stick.
“Leave Gerald alone, and no, I won it!” You shooed the stick away. All three of them winced at the name.
“Definitely seems like there’s a lot more to it than that.” Divina giggled. “Also, Gerald is a terrible name. Please pick a new one.”
“Well…” You remembered Ajax’s apathy to the game master calling you his partner, either that or he wasn’t paying attention. He didn’t deny you were, though. Thinking about it, he probably really did seem like your boyfriend to onlookers. Holding your hand 24/7, dragging you to booths, winning you prizes, not correcting the game master, the works. You just wish it were real.
You sighed deeply before taking a big swig of your drink, not caring for the burn it left. Kent and Divina gave each other a look before lifting you from your chair.
“You are going to be going through these way too quickly if we don’t do something about it.” Kent took your now empty cup away from you before handing it to Yoko. The latter stuck her tongue out at the boy before sticking it in a bin filled with other cups.
“Why don’t we get your mind off things?” Divina hummed. “How about a dance?” She spun you onto the dance floor. You couldn’t tell if you were already feeling the buzz of the alcohol or if you genuinely wanted to dance, but you swayed along to the music anyway. Bianca noticing your presence, spun to dance with you as well. It was an easy rhythm to get lost into, and you hate to admit Ajax was right about the party being fun.
The night went on for awhile, you kept switching between drinking and dancing and talking. It wasn’t very long before you were drunk, Yoko had to cut you off because you could not get back to your dorm like this. She was with you this time on the dance floor, vibing to the song that was on. You couldn’t help but feel a pair of eyes on you. Twisting to the beat, you turn to see Ajax eyeing you from his spot on the couch with Xavier. You practically hadn’t seen him all night, which was odd considering he’d usually dance as well. He sat with his legs open comfortably, an arm resting upon his leg as the other was brought up to take a hit of his joint. He then handed it to Xavier before puffing out the smoke in fancy rings. Maybe it was you or maybe it was the alcohol talking but he looked, to say the least, hot.
“Jax!” You called out to him from your spot on the floor. His attention turned from his conversation to you, eyes softening as his gaze met yours. Your heart skipped a beat, and well, fuck it. You were making your way over to him. Not like you could control much of your movements anyway, your brain and body were on two different hemispheres. Both working opposite of each other, but definitely somehow working because you slumped down next to Ajax.
“You seem to be having fun.” He hummed, inviting you with an open arm. He rested it around your shoulder, pulling you close as you leaned into him exhausted from dancing.
“Are you, Jax?” You reached up to hold his face with your hand. The position incredibly intimate as his face was mere centimeters from your own. For a moment, there was an unrecognizable look in his eyes. He pulled away slightly, letting out an awkward cough. Your expression twisted into a pout.
“Are you not enjoying yourself?” You tilted your head. His lips tugged into a downward smile, shaking his head no.
“I am having fun, just worried about you. Seems like you’ve had too much to drink.” Removing his arm from your shoulder, he adjusted himself to face you. You whined at the loss of contact, but he suddenly cupped your face within both his hands. Your heart skipping another beat as you stared into his mesmerizing eyes.
“You’re a bit warm, I’m going to get you some water.” You leaned your head against the back of the couch as he pulled away from you. Closing your eyes, you let your thoughts take over. Drowning out the noise, you indeed did feel warm. Had it really been the alcohol or had it been Ajax’s proximity? It was getting harder and harder to deny that you loved him more than you thought you did.
“Here,” A hand lifted your head carefully as a cold glass was brought to your lips. Your eyes fluttered open, remembering where you were. Ajax held the cup as you took sips, feeling the water begin to cool you off. He set the glass down on the table before turning his attention back to you.
“I’m thinking I should get you back to your dorm, let’s call it a night.” You could only nod your head in approval, not wanting your words to betray you. Every nerve in your body concentrated on his skin on yours, lifting you from your spot on the couch.
“I’m gonna get Y/N to back to the dorms, they’ve had too much I think.” You could only hum goodbye with a wave to your friends as Ajax dragged you up the steps. It wasn’t particularly hard to get to your dorm, but man, were you exhausted. The hard part was getting you into your bed.
“Jax, have I ever told you how much I love you?” You murmured as he was adjusting your head on your pillow. It was dim in your room, but you could see the color in his face shift. You never used such strong words like ‘love’ around him, and especially not about him. It was always “I love this ice cream” or “Jax, you’re my best friend but you’re a dumbass.” never “I love you” which surprised him.
“You’ve had too much to drink, Y/N. You’re not thinking straight.” He pulled the blanket over your figure. You grabbed the bottom of his jacket, stopping him in his tracks.
“No, I really love you.” You hiccuped. “You’re so sweet, and caring, even though you can be so dense. You always do that thing when you wrap your arm around my shoulder and give it a squeeze when you greet me that makes my heart flutter. You also have the prettiest eyes ever, so warm like I can get lost in them. I have to tell your moms how much of a good son they raised. They’re so cool for that.” If you were sober, none of these thoughts would have been vocalized, but clearly you weren’t.
Ajax stopped momentarily before reaching for your hand, removing it from his jacket and returning it to your side. He attempted to pull away, but you kept your grip on his.
“Jax, stay with me please.” You pleaded. He smiled before sitting at the side of your bed, leaning to make sure your temperature wasn’t too high with the back of his other hand.
“Why won’t you say anything back?” You breathed out, head starting to spin. The room was dim and only the moonlight illuminated you two.
“Because you are not in your right mind right now, and as much as I love you back, this should not be how this happens.” He looked at you solemnly. It was undeniable that he loved you back, but he’d rather have heard it when you were ready, not when alcohol had consumed you.
“Now, get some rest.” He gave you a small forehead kiss, you could even feel one of his snakes give you one as well. You nodded, half paying attention as you drifted off. Ajax carefully leaning every now and then to adjust your blanket or make sure you weren’t too hot.
“Jax?” You called out, to which he hummed in response.
“I never got cotton candy at the Harvest Festival.”
