To Harry, you had always been the one that got away. Your time together had been so good. You both grew and learned, and loved so much but life just got in the way. The split broke you both because you were certain that no matter what, at the end of the day it would always be you together. Learning that it wouldnât be was devastating.Â
For a while you even stopped believing in love and in the good of the universe. Because if love was real, how cruel did the universe actually have to be to tear you apart? It had been a love like neither of you had ever experienced. Your souls were alight for each other and every interaction you exchanged, every hug, every kiss, every glance, every touch fed the fire of your love and passion for each other for five wonderful years. And when the time came for it to end it was heart wrenching. There was just far too much conflict in time and distance, it sometimes felt like your managers were doing it on purpose, you both knew it wasnât true, of course. You were just starting to reach new levels of fame and were in high demand and you couldnât keep doing what you were doing to yourselves in trying to make it work.
So when Harry signed on to yet another film and you had gone into the studio for your album you had to reevaluate your relationship. It had to be done over the phone while there was an entire ocean between you because even though it was the wrong way to go about it, you just couldnât look into each otherâs eyes while admitting defeat. There was absolutely no way. It was hard to even breathe at first, but with time it got a bit better and better, and soon youâd met other people and were on your way to being happy like before. But that brought you to this day. After years of being broken up and never speaking or seeing each other you were both frozen in the hallway of a studio in Los Angeles looking right at each other. Time was at a standstill as you just stared for a moment. Both completely shocked at your run in. Harryâs tongue suddenly felt heavy and knotted up and his hands felt like they were prickling. He just wanted to reach out and touch you.
âY/N, Iâve missed you.â He finally said. But you barely heard it over the obnoxiously loud pounding of your heart.
âI missed you too.â You whispered breathlessly as you looked him over. A smile came to your lips as you admired him from up close. You chuckled and shook your head because his hair was gone! And he looked great. So well rested, stronger, taller, and more youthful somehow.
âCan I hug you?â He asked and at his question you hurried into his arms, not bothering with a response.Â
As soon as you touched everything felt better. The fires in your hearts were burning again because the love had never run out. If anything it got stronger with the distance somehow. But things were not as they used to be. He had a girlfriend of nearly a year now and you had just started dating someone just a couple months prior. You had been resigned to the fact that for your circumstance, love just wasnât enough so you both moved on. The embrace was long, you were taking your time in his arms and he was taking in your scent. How he missed the sweet and inviting smell that wafted around you like a cloud. It seemed like it had been too soon when you started pulling back from his hold, but he willed himself to loosen his grip to give you the space to depart from him.
âYour hair!â You smiled brightly and he chuckled.
âI knowâŠAfter the tour ended it just felt like the end of an era, you know? Time for a big change.â He smiled through his explanation and you nodded in understanding.
âYeah, I get that. I love it! It looks great!â You complimented as you looked him over once more.
âYeah?â He asked timidly and you nodded quickly. He knew he didnât need your approval, but having it made him feel even better about his decision.
âHow long are you in town?â You asked, your hands slid down his arms from around his neck and landed in his. Feeling your soft and warm skin meeting his own had his mind going fuzzy. He could feel his heart reaching out to you with how hard it pounded.
âI uh- I leave tomorrow. I just had a quick thing I needed to take care of. Was only here a few days.â He said and you felt a lump forming in your throat. Gone so soonâŠa tease of fate.
âOh.â You responded and he nodded, a sad smile came over his face.
âYeah.â He squeezed your hands a bit harder, âUmmm, Iâm at the Roosevelt. In the Marylin Monroe suite. Maybe we can grab dinner tonight, around 8?â He asked hopefully and you frowned. The universe was heartless and cruel, it was confirmed.
âI actually canât tonight, Harry. I have plans with myâŠâ you trailed off before shifting your gaze down to the buttons of his shirt. They were all done up now, unlike before, when he barely bothered after the third one up.
âSomeone youâre seeing?â He asked and you nodded, not able to look at him as you confirmed.
âSorry.â You said, finally looking back into his eyes.
âIâm not- I mean, itâs alright. That youâre, you know, putting yourself out there.â He put on a smile that didnât reach his eyes.
âYeah?â You asked and he nodded. You were holding onto each other for dear life, âIâm happy I ran into you, though. I missed you. Been thinking about you lately as well.â You said again through a small smile.
âIâm really happy I got to see you too.â He confirmed through his own smile; it was definitely genuine this time.
âWell, I should get going and let you get to the studio.â You said and he nodded.
âRight. Câmere.â He said pulling you back in for a hug. This time you inhaled his own warm, musky, and familiar scent as his warmth settled into your own body. âTake good care of yourself.â He mumbled to you before kissing the side of your head.
âYou too, H.â You hummed before you let go and you continued down the hall. You stopped and turned back to see that he was still standing there, watching you leave and you smiled, planting a kiss to your palm and pretending like you threw it at him and he smiled brightly as he pretended he caught it and pressed his palm to his heart and you waved before you left the building.

âYou seem distracted.â Caitlyn, your best friend, pointed out as she glanced over from her desk to you, sitting across from her, just staring out the window behind her.
âI know, Iâm sorryâŠI donât think Iâll be much help for brainstorming right now.â You said and Caitlyn frowned.
âWhat happened?â
âI was doing Seb the favor of dropping off a demo of a new song to his producer and on my way out I ummmâŠH-harry was there.â You said and Caitlynâs eyes went wide.
âWhat the hell? I thought he was in London!â She gasped.
âHe will be tomorrow. Sâhis last night.â You explained.
âAre you alright?â She asked you right away.
âI think soâŠhe invited me to dinner at his hotel, but I have plans with Seb tonight so I canât.â
âWell maybe itâs for the best, friend. I meanâŠI know how it was with you guys and like, I know youâre both good people, but maybe it wouldnât be the wisest thing to have dinner with him at his hotel. Alone.â Caitlyn reasoned and you nodded.
âYeah, I think youâre rightâŠI mean, besides, he has a girlfriend too so best not to do something platonic that could seem sketchy."
âExactly.â Caitlyn concurred. âWell, are you feeling OK? Did it bring anything up for you?â
âJust a little sadness⊠nostalgia? I mean, we put in so much work, you know? I swear we were endgame.â You said quietly with some disappointment.
âYeahâŠdid he seem happy?â
âI guess? I didnât ask really. I donât want to knowâŠâ you sighed, âBuzzed his head though.â You smiled and Caitlyn gasped audibly.
âNo way!â She laughed in disbelief.
âYeah! Itâs a different look, but he looks really good. It suits him more than I would expect.â You chuckled and then fell silent for a few seconds.
âY/N, do you stillâŠhave feelings for him?â Caitlyn asked carefully and you sighed.
âThink Iâll always have feelings for himâŠâ you said lowly. âLike, itâs Harry!â You said and Caitlyn pouted and nodded in understanding. âIt was definitely nice to see him though, even if it was fast.â
âWell maybe itâs good that it was a brief run in. Didnât have to linger and talk about things that would make you both even more sad.â Caitlyn suggested.
âMaybe I need to be more sadâŠlike Iâve been in a bit of a slump writing-wiseâŠâ you said.
âUse this sad, Y/N. The nostalgia, the not knowing, the wondering, you really donât need more than that.â Caitlyn said and you sighed, âAnd donât google him. Or his girlfriend.â She warned and you cackled.
âOf course not! Iâm not you.â you quipped with a teasing grin.
âLook, cyberstalking is a necessary evil sometimes.â
âI canât agree with that statement.â You chuckled.
âJust because you suck at itâŠâ Caitlin sassed.
âI donât think internet stalking is a skill to be proud of, Cait.â You giggled.
âLook, all I know is that one day, my skills will come in handy.â She said simply and you knocked your head back as you laughed at your best friendâs nonsense.
*************
Harry had not been able to stop thinking about you since the afternoon. He had made a quick detour to LA to meet with some of his producers. He was planning to take a bit of a longer break to focus on other projects and passions and just live for himself a little bit. He was just outlining a plan for his next album since he had already renewed his contract.
In truth, he was glad that he had been able to tour when he did because you had just ended things. He just went right into entertain mode and got so much out of his system. But being back on the road, meeting new people, putting himself back out there, it helped a lot. And then the one thing he thought wasnât possible happened. He met someone else and he moved on. He felt that he had moved into it quite fast as theyâd only been friends for a month or so, but theyâd been together almost a year now and it was going well. Was he happy? He was. Wasnât he?
Obviously, he knew heâd eventually see you but he wasnât ready for it now. It wasnât the best time because while heâd moved on, you still had an effect on him. He still dreamt of you sometimes. He still felt butterflies in his stomach when he thought of you, even now when he remembered how you had hugged him. He loved the way your fingers felt as you skimmed them down his arms before you could hold his hands just for a moment. You looked so good tooâŠyouâd always opted for shorter hair, to the shoulders or a bit less, but it was longer now, it suited you. Your eyes were bright and your smile just as warm and inviting as it had always been. He would be lying if he said that his heart didnât skip a beat when he saw you. But being in your presence like that, it suddenly felt like no time had passed at all.Â
He felt kind of stupid for asking you to dinnerâŠin hindsight it was good that you were busy. To be alone with you while his heart and tummy were doing all these weird and fluttery things that they did every time he was around you, that couldnât be a great idea.
The hardest thing to get over was that he loved how he felt around you, it was magical. Your energies matched so well. What you had together had was unmatched, there wasnât anyone who had brought that same feeling to him before or now. You cared for him in ways that made him feel seen and understood as a person, the whole of him, good and badâŠhe had no idea how you did it, but it just came so naturally from you. Your ability to relate and communicate and accept other people as they were was innate and he missed that about you. He missed how easy it was to receive the kind of love and care that you gave and that he needed. Not that he wasnât feeling cared for now, he definitely was, but it wasnât the same as with you of courseâŠno one was you. He snapped out of his thoughts when his phone started ringing loudly, cutting off the music he was running to.
âHey man, whatâs up?â He greeted Jeffrey who was on the other line.
âHey H, howâd the meeting go?â
âGood. We set a schedule for the next couple of things so thatâs squared away.â
âExcellent.â Jeffrey hummed, âLook man, I know youâre supposed to be taking off tomorrow but someone reached out to me from A24 about a possible Bowie bio pic. Theyâre really interested in talking to you about it.â
âI donât know, JeffâŠâ
âI told them you might not be interested, but they were really insistent that youâd be great for the role and just wanted to pick your brain a bit. You definitely donât have to commit to anything yet, they just want to talk to you about it.â He said and he hummed pensively.
âWhenâs the meeting?â
âThey said Thursday of next week. They have this like vision board and a script they want to have you look over and whatnot.â
âCan it be sooner?â
âNope. The director is on some remote site for another project now and will be back in town on Thursday.â Harry sighed upon hearing this.
âFuckâŠfine. Iâll wait it out then. Can you get me another room then? I still have to check out of here tomorrow.â
âYeah man, Iâll take care of it now and send the details over, alright?â
âSounds good. Talk soon.â
âYep, love you man. Bye.â
âLove yaâ. Bye.â Harry said and then hung up.
Honestly, Harry had no interest in doing this film, he was certain they could get someone else, someone far better in his opinion. And heâd definitely watch it, but right now he had every interest in staying longer and getting to see you again. As reckless as it might be to see you with all of these feelings brewing in him, it was a need. It brought him back to old times, where even when youâd be busy, youâd do reckless things like stay extra days in a country just to be able to cross paths while you both worked. Or fly from one end of the US to the other just to have dinnerâŠit was kind of an awful habit to just do things like that on a whim, but he felt that he could handle this. After all, old habits die hard and indulging in something that reminded him of how in love he was, despite the struggles, it was worth remembering.
***********
All throughout dinner so far you had been thinking of Harry. How maybe you shouldâve made an alternate plan to see him after dinner. Like maybe grab coffee, or a glass of wine, perhaps visit your favorite ice cream shopâŠbut you halted yourself when it got to the ice cream because that would be far too special for just a catch up. Thatâs the place you realized you were in love with him and surely the resurgence of those feelings would be strong, to say the least.Â
âWhatâs going on, babe?â Sebastian asked you and you huffed.
âJust had a weird day.â You explained as you played with your food a bit more, hoping that your appetite would increase.
âWhyâs that?â
âI ummm⊠I saw Harry.â You decided to just tell him straight up.
Sebastian had been someone youâd known for a while, ever since you were starting out. You would semi-frequently run into each other at open mic nights, karaoke bars, talent shows, scouting shows. You werenât close friends or anything deep, you just had drinks with the other few people who were nice and chill and struggling to get their big break. Luckily, yours came quite swiftly and then you were out of that scene. Heâd never gotten your number, but when you made it and your first song went #1 he did send you a fan letter, as he had no other way to reach you. And he was so happy for you and proud of you, and you reached out. Thatâs when you learned he was in talks with a label then too. He gave you his number and you started catching up a bit and then Harry happened and you friend zoned him (according to him, you had never really been interested like that). Once you got with Harry you were MIA for a bit, you just didnât know who you could trust at the start since Harry was far more famous and super private about everything, understandably so.Â
But then, Harry met all your friends, Seb included, and he saw how you were with Harry and he let go of whatever hope he had that you two could be together. He had shared that with you a bit after youâd gotten together. He just couldnât believe that after dating someone as big as Harry youâd give him a chance. But in all fairness, anyone who had experienced you and Harry together could tell you how palpable your love was. How intense and dedicated you were to each other for the near five years you spent together. Lots of conversations started with a âWhen you guys get marriedâŠâ and you wouldnât bat an eye. Of course you wanted to get married and have a life together. All this to say that Sebastian knew what it meant or could mean for you to see Harry again. He had been there for all of it and now he was a bit scaredâŠ
âToday?â He asked and you nodded.
âWell, it was more of a running into type of situation than a deliberate seeing each other.â You explained.
âI see. Where?â
âAt the studio. I was on my way out as he was coming in for something.â
âAre you okay?â
âI think soâŠIâm justâŠI donât know, it brought up a lot of shit, you know?â
âI can imagine.â
âSo thatâs why Iâm a bitâŠweird. I justâŠI donât know. Like I saw him and I missed him, you know?â
âAnd does he miss you?â
âHe said he does.â You shrugged, âI mean, I told him about you, so it wasnât like that.â You emphasized, âBut yeah, I just wasnât expecting that.â He mumbled.
âIâm sorry.â He said reaching his hand out for yours and you took it as you glanced down to watch your hands connect.
âItâs fine.âÂ
âHow long is he in town?â
âHe leaves tomorrow morning. Asked me to dinner, thatâs when I brought you up and said we had plans.â You smiled at him and he smirked.
âOh wowâŠI mean, I wouldâve understood if you ditched me for thee Harry Styles. But I appreciate you choosing to keep our plans.â He said with a slightly smug and victorious grin.
âOf course, babe.â You assured him with a smile.
But that didnât mean that mentally you werenât sitting across from Harry at the Roosevelt having an equally nice glass of wine and catching up over what the last couple years apart had been like for you.
*************
Harry very seldom used social media, especially for celebrity gossip purposes, but he found himself hunched over the table in his bedroom eating dinner alone while typing up your name in the Instagram search bar and going to the tags. Much like his, your instagram was now for professional use, so he knew there wouldnât be anything personal to find there so he didnât bother with your profile, hashtags were where it was at. And as soon as the page loaded, an avalanche of images came up. He went to the first one and it was a fan video, secretly taken of course, of you over dinner with your boyfriend. Sebastian?
âYouâre dating Sebastian? That Hozier rip off? Really?!â He muttered to himself bitterly.
He watched the clip replay a few times.You two were clearly talking about something a bit serious as you werenât smiling at first. But then he reached for your hand and you took it and smiled. He selfishly hoped you were talking about him just thenâŠÂ
of course, he would hate it if someone took videos of him like that at a private dinner, but he now understood why people did it. It was better than just seeing it with your own two eyes. This was forever. He could sit there all night and watch as your lips slowly turned up towards the end and smiled at him. He could watch your hand reaching out to touch Sebastianâs. He could sit there and theorize about where this conversation was goingâŠit could just be a serious topic of conversation, an amicable break up, some good news⊠Crumbs. Thatâs all these things were, just crumbs. He scrolled a bit and got to some other photos and videos of Sebastian at your shows, you at his shows, out and aboutâŠit was making his stomach twist up with jealousy and regret.Â
Harry didnât find that he got jealous much anymore, he felt more secure in himself and in his relationships, he had matured, a lot of things went into that. But a part of his heart would always belong to you and seeing you sharing your affection with someone else, it made him sick to his stomach. He scrolled down further, hoping to see something about you two but there was only disappointment.Â
When you were together he was so fucking paranoid that the public would ruin what you had that there was no PDA, everything was so clandestineâŠyouâd been papped alone a few times walking around together, at events, and a few other mundane situations but not like what you had with Sebastian over the last couple months. There were no pictures of you two holding hands, or smiling at each other the way you often did when you were alone or with trusted friends and family. There were no videos of you kissing in the corner of a dark party or side stage at a showâŠand whatever videos you had with each otherâŠwell, those had to go in case any of you ever got hacked or something. He did have a few pictures, but they were in his albums at home and probably scanned into a USB or something similar and it was just lying around collecting dust somewhere. He tried searching you two up and yeah, nothing. Just the couple things he knew of.
âFucking ridiculousâŠâ he mumbled with his mouth full as he went back to stalking you and Sebastian just a little bit longer. Sebastian had you all over his page; sure he was verified but he was still a smaller artist when compared to him or you, so he could afford to show a bit of his private life without people losing their heads over it.
Harry stopped when he started getting sad and also when a text from Tay came in responding to his news of his change of travel plans. Then he felt bad for lying, for staying longer than he needed to. But the sooner he went back home, the sooner he could forget all about you and what was and immerse himself in the world he lived in now. But then, the sooner he left the sooner heâd be without you close by. The sooner heâd be breathing someone elseâs airâŠsure, there were millions of people in LA, but knowing that you were one of them did things to him.
âŠ. A FEW DAYS LATER âŠ.
If there was one thing you hated to do that Caitlyn loved to do, it was work out. Youâd always been a bit lazy for it and did the bare minimum you could get away with. which was still excessive in your opinion, especially when youâd go with Caitlyn. One of her friends, Melissa, had invited the two of you to her friendâs new pilates studio and well, that was one of your hard limits. Barre and Pilates both were! Like what kind of sick fuck can bend that way? Is what you constantly thought to yourself as youâd literally have to have someone hold your body in certain positions to complete the routine.
Since Melissa knew Ilse, the owner of the studio, you were working out in a private studio, which you were eternally grateful for just to spare you from embarrassment at the very least. The last thing you wanted was to become an internet meme because you somehow got tangled up in a pilates machine.
âAlright, great form ladies and just hold a few more secondsâŠâ Ilse hummed to you all. She was sweet to encourage you as if she werenât currently holding you in position.
âWhat is going on out there? Itâs getting loud.â Melissa pointed out, which made Ilse, turn as well.
âIâm going to go check it out.â She said releasing you from your position before rushing out of the smaller studio.
âThank fuck.â You sighed as you just left your legs in the suspenders youâd been in for that position Ilse had you in.
âHow you holding up?â Caitlyn asked with a grin.
âThis isâŠterrible.â You confessed and you all laughed a bit. âWho wants to leave and feel like a wet noodle for three days after?â You whined.
âIt feels great! I love the soreness.â Melissa said and you scoffed.
âYouâre insane.â You said to Melissa.
âI am. Clinically.â She agreed and you laughed again at her joke. You was just laying there, legs still suspended in the air, at least this way you were getting good circulation. But mostly because you were afraid to move with how sore you already felt after just a half an hour of pilates. Then Ilse came back in capturing their attention.
âHarry Styles is here.â She said and this made Caitlyn turn to you quickly. You then attempted to sit up properly, âHeâs gonna do his thing in here too so that no one bugs him.â she explained. You were still fighting to get up from your laying position with your legs suspended above you. Finally you got your foot out of the fucking loop and were trying to get the other one out before he came in, âY/N, be careful.â Ilse warned as she started to make her way over to help. But she paused when the door opened behind her and in came Harry in a gray, long sleeve shirt and some tiny, navy blue shorts. You swallow thickly and pulled harder on the cable.
âIlse, thank you so much for letting me join-â A small shriek interrupted Harry as he came into the private studio. They all saw you fall out of the machine and they hurried over and huddled above you. And there you were on the ground, one of your feet still stuck in the loop of the cable, leaving it extended high above the rest of your body. How humiliating⊠Your eyes met his and you saw as he rolled his lips together to prevent his laughter from spilling out. Youâd always had an aversion to exercising as he recalled.
âOh my god! Are you OK?!â Ilse asked you. And then you were bursting into laughter, causing Ilseâs shoulders to lose their tension.Â
When your eyes met his again as you laughed he sputtered on his own laughter before it just spilled out of him and then your friends laughed along at your mishap as well. Harry was quick to step up and help you get your foot free and then Ilse helped you up.
âThank you.â You said to Ilse and Harry with a warm face and bashful smile.
âOf course. Do you need ice or something?â Ilse asked and you shook her head.
âIâm fine. Iâll just sit the rest out. Do some free weights.â
âReal convenient, missy.â Caitlyn mumbled and you grinned. Harry soon greeted Caitlyn and then properly greeted Melissa.
âSo how do you guys know each other?â She asked the three of you.
âJust industry friends.â You said quickly with a decisive nod and Harry glanced at you. Your eyes averted to Cailtynâs who just looked to Harry after a few seconds.
âCool, well letâs keep going then.â Ilse suggested. Since you had decided to just do some free wights across the room Harry took your spot as Ilse guided them through the rest of the routine.Â
Harry was stealing glances. Not that you werenât, but you were far more subtle about it. He couldnât help it though. He knew her body just as well as he knew his own. And just watching you move was bringing back so many memories. Heâs the one that discovered you had a birthmark right near the crook of your inner thigh. Heâs the person who discovered that you had a group of freckles and beauty marks on your mid back that almost resembled the entire Orion constellation. Heâs the person who knew that you hated that one of your boobs was âmuch smallerâ than the other. He thought they were pretty symmetrical, but whatever. He knew every scar you had. He knew each tattoo, heâd been there for many of them. He knew that there was this one eyelash you had that always grew in a little crooked and heâd always help you pluck it out after youâd beg and beg because it ruined your mascara. He knew the shape you liked to pluck your eyebrows in. He knew the shape of your lips and the shade of your eyes. He knew everything there was to know about you.Â
So yeah, he was looking and remembering all the little things about you that made you the beautiful, smart, talented, and unique person that you were. He hadnât allowed himself to love and obsess over anyone like that ever again, it took too much out of him. Just you.Â
âI thought you were supposed to leave a few days ago?â Caitlyn said. And well, if Caitlyn knew this, that meant you had talked about her to him.
âSomething came up. Have another meeting on Thursday. Sâfor a film, the director isnât back in town until then.â He elaborated.
âOoh what film?â
âA possible Bowie biopic.â He said and she looked impressed.
âNice. Are you interested in the project?â She asked just as you bent over to grab your water bottle and Harry got a little lost for a moment.Â
He barely heard a word Caitlyn had said, he just watched you shamelessly. God, he missed that perfect, little body of yours. Seeing as Caitlyn was facing the mirror while she talked to him, she could see your reflection and obviously, what Harry was staring at. She loved you and Harry together, but the logistics were kind of fucked and you were stretching yourselves so thin, it was unhealthy. You hadnât ended things because you werenât in love; in fact, you were so in love that you couldnât do that to each other anymore. You had tried to wait it out, but it was exhausting you two to degrees that just was a bit irresponsible for some of the biggest stars on the planet, so you went your own ways.
âSheâs happy, you know?â Caitlyn said quietly and Harryâs eyes flickered away from you to hers. He sighed and nodded.
âI know.â He said, âWith Sebastian?â
âShe told you it was him?â Caitlyn asked. Harry had always been a little wary around Sebastian because it was fairly obvious to him that he had a thing for you. He never tried anything and was always respectful, but just that jealousy he felt over you was palpable. And it would make Harry be on high alert when you guys was around him.
âNo. I had toâŠfucking look it up.â He admitted with slight irritation. Caitlyn snorted quietly on a laugh causing him to shoot her a glare. âShut up.â He mumbled with a bashful smile as he smacked her with his towel on the leg.
âEw! Unsanitary!â She scoffed through her sniggers.
âFuck you, I havenât even used it yet.â He chuckled. When their little fit died down she got serious again.
âYou seem happy too.âÂ
âIâŠI am.â He nodded once, âBut itâs her. SheâsâŠâ he trailed off as he glanced at you again, âShe was it for me, you know?â He said with some sadness. âI donât knowâŠI justâŠwasnât prepared to see her yet.âÂ
âThatâs what she said too. Maybe itâll always be that way? Like you guys had something extraordinary. It was special, some real soul mate shit, you know? Of course itâs going to be hard to get over. I literally thought that was all BS until I saw how you guys were together.â She said and he smiled.
âYeah.â He agreed.
âWhat do you want?â
âTo just be around her.â He said and she hummed.
âThen be friends.â Caitlyn suggested and he immediately shook his head.
âI couldnâtâŠlike Iâm happy for her, but I donât want to see it in my face. And Iâm sure she feels the same about that. Seeing each other have everything we had and more? No way.â
âThenâŠI donât know, Harry.â
âCan you just ask her i-if we could grab a coffee or talk or something?â
âWhy donât you ask her?â
âBecause sheâll say no.â
âHow do you know?â
âBecause I do.â He said, âWhat if she thinks Iâm just trying toâŠto make her doubt or something?â
âShe knows youâd never hurt her and you know sheâd never hurt you.â
âI know, but what ifâŠâ
âWhat if you guys do something stupid like cheat?â Caitlin asked bluntly and he nodded. âWell then thatâs up to you guys.â she said simply, âI did tell her it was probably good that she couldnât have dinner with you the other nightâŠI could see something happen during a moment of weakness. All that attraction and love you guys still have for each otherâŠI mean, I canât see either of you walking away without someone getting hurt if youâre not overly cautious. Maybe itâs a temptation or maybe itâs what needs to happen to open that door againâŠI donât know, H. But if you do want to see her again just be careful with your hearts and those of the others youâre involved with now.â She admonished and he nodded.
âYouâre right.â He said and glanced down at his knees instead of at you. âI donât want to fuck anything up for her.â
âAnd what about you?â
âIâm already fucked.â He chuckled breathily with sadness in his eyes.
************
When their session was over you all said their goodbyes. Harry headed back into the locker rooms to have a shower though, so he didnât walk out with you three. You had gone to have some breakfast at Melissaâs house and were in the middle of eating when your phone pinged. When you picked it up from the table you saw âHarryâ on the text notification and you locked it and set it down with a pounding heart. Caitlyn looked to you with a knowing glance and you sighed and went back to your food. Melissa was cool, she was an influencer who was dabbling in TV, which is how she met Caitlyn. But you werenât really personal friends with her yet so you didnât feel like bringing Harry up right now. You could talk to Caitlyn about it on your way home.
As soon as you were in the car you looked at his text and smiled at the screen. Harry was sweet, a bit of an over-thinker, but you loved that about him. He was thoughtful of how he wanted to be perceived and how he came across.
âDid he ask to see you?â Caitlyn asked and you nodded and locked your phone before taking off. You sat in silence for just a few minutes before Caitlyn turned to you. âSo what are you going to do?â
âI donât know.â You confessed. âIf I see himâŠaloneâŠâ you sighed, âsâjust that after seeing him I realized I still feel too much for him.â You explained. âI donât want to fuck things up with Seb or hurt him in any way. Like you know that I care about him. So much. But this is Harry, you know? Do you think Sebâll understand if I want to meet up with Harry?â You asked and Caitlyn sighed.
âGirl, I donât knowâŠbut after speaking a bit with Harry I donât know if itâs a good idea.â She said and you frowned.
âWhat did he say?â You couldnât help but ask.
âHeâs justâŠhanging on by a thread I think.â She said and you frowned. âLike youâre both in relationships, good ones, that seem to make you guys happy. And I meanâŠyou guys are each otherâs weakness, you know? And I care about you both so much and I donât want you to accidentally do something that youâll regret and hate yourselves for. Like I get it, you miss each other, but would tempting fate fix things or make them worse?â She asked and you sighed.
âYouâre right. Youâre so right.â You agreed.
âHe knows youâre with Sebastian.â Caitlyn said and you turned to her for a moment with confusion.
âHow?â
âHe was looking you up online or something is what he said.â Upon hearing that you giggled and Caitlyn started to chuckle as well. Before you knew it, you were both laughing hard at how crazy that was. Him scouring the internet to find information about you? âIf Harry internet lurks you can too. Youâre missing outâŠâ Caitlyn said after your laughing spell had died down.
âYeah, no thanks. I have some dignity.â You grinned and Caitlyn rolled her eyes.Â
**************
Harry waited and waited. And waited well into the night for Y/N to respond to his text. He had no idea if youâd even read it. Maybe you had changed your number and heâd texted someone else by mistake. He was getting antsy, he was only in town for four more days. So he did a double text, just to verify that it was still your number and when no response came after another 10 minutes he just settled against his pillows and pulled out the book he had brought along with him. He wasnât even hungry anymore after that disappointment.
**************
Sebastian had come over to your house for dinner at the last minute and now you were just washing up your dishes from that when he came into the kitchen glowering at you.
âWhat the matter?â You asked with some concern and he brought your phone up to your face so that you could see what had him so upset. You pouted a bit when you read Harryâs second text, he was just asking if it was still your number. You felt bad for leaving him on read now.
âYou saw him again today and he asked you out again?â Sebastian asked with irritation. He had every right to be irritated without context, but the explanation would easily appease his anger.
âI didnât plan to see him. Me and the girls were at pilates and he showed up at that studio. I have no control over where he goes! What was I supposed to do? Leave?â You asked him and he sighed, âThe trainer had him come work out in the studio with us because people were flocking him. But when he came over I even left to do strength training instead. Ask Caitlyn! I didnât even talk to him!â You said quickly as he searched your eyes. The fear and panic in them made him doubt you. âHe just wants to catch up.â You said as he set your phone down on the counter with a sigh.
âI want to believe you but-â
âThen believe me, Sebastian!â You said with exasperation as you shut the water off and took off the rubber gloves you were wearing. âThe evidence is there on my phone. I havenât even answered him!â You pointed out and he sighed.
âWhy is he so determined of doing this? Doesnât he have a girlfriend to hang out with?âÂ
âItâs justâŠa lot seeing each other after so long. He probably just wants to reconnect and be friends? Maybe if I just talk to him-â
âI donât want you talking to him, Y/N.â Sebastian said and you frowned. âI donât trust him and I donât like how pushy heâs being about this.â
âHeâs not being pushyâŠâ you sighed.
âHe is! You left him on read and he doesnât take the fucking hint.â Sebastian argued.
âWell maybe if I just respond and explain that youâre not comfortable with us meeting up alone then heâll-â
âOh, donât put this on me.â Sebastian cut you off.
âWell youâre the one whoâs upset over this, Seb. I honestly wasnât even going to respond to him!â
âIf youâre not going to respond just delete the message and block the number.â He insisted, handing your phone over. You frowned as you glanced down at it in your hands and then up at him.
âNo, Seb. Iâm not blocking him for no real reason!â You pushed back.
âYour boyfriend being upset over it is a real reason, Y/N. He wants you back! Why canât you see that?â He groaned in frustration.
âNo, he doesnât. He just wants to talk and catch up!â You countered.
âWell I donât care what he wants, Y/N. I donât want you to see him. I forbid it!â He put his foot down and you scoffed.Â
âYou forbid it? What the fuck? Who are you to tell me who I can and canât see in my free time, Seb? I think Iâve respected you and our relationship by leaving it and not answering him. I even told you when I first saw him-â
âOnly because I asked! And now again, you see him and donât say anything about it until I see these texts!â
âOne sided texts!â You added and he shook his head.
âI waited my turn and I chose to be with you, Y/N. And right now you need to choose me back.â He said and you sighed as you started growing anxious and frustrated.
âIâm with you, Seb! I already chose you! Thereâs nothing for me to choose right now! Youâre the one putting Harry in the middle of us right now.â You argued.
âYouâre honestly telling me that if he says he wants you back you wouldnât hesitate to choose me over him? Youâd just tell him to fuck off?â He asked and you frowned.
âThatâs⊠thatâs a silly thing to think. Why are you even arguing hypotheticals, Seb? This will get us nowhere-â
âTell me, now. Who would you choose, Y/N?â He insisted more seriously and you shook your head.
âIâm not playing this stupid game with you, Seb.â You said as you crossed your arms. Holding your position.
âYou refusing to make a choice over this speaks fucking volumes, Y/N.â He said with disappointment before he stormed out of the kitchen. You took a second to let your mind try and catch up with how all of this went south so quickly. Once you were up to speed you hurried over to the front door where he was sliding his feet into his shoes.
âWhere are you going?â You asked him with welled up eyes and he refused to answer you. âSebastian!â You raised your voice.
âIâm done.â He seethed, finally responding to you, âIâm done playing second fiddle to him, Y/N.â He said pointedly before leaving your place with a loud thud of the door slamming.Â
You groaned into your hands and your tears started rolling down your cheeks. You were so fucking angry at him and at HarryâŠit was making you boil over as you returnedd to the kitchen and grabbed your phone and called him. He didnât pick up, you tried again after a few moments and it went straight to voicemail. You were so angry at him you almost threw your phone at the wall. But before you could, you decided to make another call, this one to Harry.
âY/N?â He answered almost right away and before you could berate him for his texts you started to sniffle, âHey? Whatâs wrong? Why are you crying?â He asked softly. His voice was drenched with concern.
âSeb saw your texts and I think he just broke up with me.â You whimpered as more tears started to fall. You started to sob a bit harder and just dropped yourself on the couch. Harry felt awfulâŠhe hadnât meant to stir up trouble for you, he just missed you.
âIâm so sorry. I donât think I said anything bad or suspicious.â He apologized.
âYou didnât. He just thinks youâreâŠtrying to get me back. He asked me to block you and I said no because thatâs stupid. Weâre fucking grown ups, you know?â
âYeah.â He hummed as he listened.
âAnd heâŠhe asked me if you wanted to get back together with me, if I would I choose him over you.â You said and he bit his lip.
âWhatâd you say?â
âI didnât say anything! I told him he was being ridiculous for bring up hypotheticals like that. Like what would we gain from that, you know? And he got more angry and said that not choosing was basically choosingâŠâ
âI see how he came to that conclusion. I meanâŠit makes it seem likeâŠhe wouldnât like the choice youâd make.â He explained.
âWell itâs not like that! I justâŠI donât know, Harry.â You said before gasping for air as you started to cry harder. Harry wished he could be there to hold you and tell you everything would be fine. Heâd just let you get it out for a little bit.
âIâm really sorry for stirring up trouble for you, love.â Harry apologized with full sincerity.Â
âItâs alright.â You whispered as your crying diminished.
âItâs notâŠI shouldâve taken the fucking hint. I just miss you and want to spend time with you before I go. I was upset that you didnât answer me after this morning. I shouldâve just left it alone and-â
âI miss you too, H.â You cut him off. You sniffled as you just stared up at the ceiling. âFucking ridiculous amounts.â You added and he smiled.
âMe too.â He agreed.
âIâm sorry for not responding to you. I didnât mean to make you feel bad. Sâjust that after talking to Caitlyn about it I just got a littleâŠscared I guess. LikeâŠwhat if we like have a moment of weakness and do something fucked up and-â
âLove, no.â he responded even if he had the same fear as her.
âIs is that crazy to think about? We obviously still share a lot of feelings for each other and I would hate toâŠto mess anything up for you if IâŠif Iâm not strong enough.â You explained.
âIf anyoneâs not strong enough here itâs me.â He said and you smiled, âGodâŠlikeâŠI donât know if wanting to see you is wrong or not and I donât care. All I know is that you mean a lot to me and Iâve missed you.â
âEnough to lurk me on the internet?â You asked with a smile and he sighed.
âFucking CaitlynâŠâ he chuckled and you laughed. âSo pathetic.â Muttered lowly.
âSânotâŠâ you appeased him.
âSo youâve done it too?â He asked hopefully.
âNo way.â You said quickly and he chuckled, âItâs not because Iâm not curious I justâŠI donât want t-to see you with her.â You admitted and a silence came over you two for several moments as the information settled. âAnd well, itâs not even about her really, itâs justâŠyou I guess.â You confessed, âItâs such an ugly feeling.â You explained with a frown, âIt makes my stomach hurt and it makes me annoyed and my chest feels heavy and like-â
âYou get jealous.â He said and you sighed. Youâd never been of the jealous kind. Specially not with Harry, you knew that even God would have to kill one of you to keep you apart. There was no chance of straying from each other. So this feeling festering inside of you was absolutely foreign to you and you never wanted it again. Youâd seen a photo of them briefly on some gossip website when a friend had sent a link about some crazy rumor theyâd written about you. It was a suggestion for another article read at the bottom of the article about you. The photo above the title was of them two, you only saw it quickly before you closed out of the tab, never wanting to see it again. But god, it was truly such an ugly feeling. You literally felt it growing out of your heart and infecting yourâŠyouâd been moody the rest of that day; it was awful.
âYeah, I guess I doâŠfeel jealous.â You admitted and he bit his lip for a second.
âWhile I was lurking instagram the other day? I saw a video of you and Sebastian kissing at some concert of his. At the side of the stage?â He said.
âYeah?â You asked and he sighed.
âYep. I-it made me soâŠmad. Like a helpless kind of mad. And then sad.â He said and you frowned, âIt made me sad because we didnât have that. I hate that I kept you so hiddenâŠI shouldâve been less afraid of the public, of the fans, of all the external bullshit that fucks with my head. I wish people couldâve see how happy we were. Wish they couldâve see how much we love each other.â He said and you felt your stomach flip when he said that. He didnât say âhow much we loved each otherâ, he said âloveâ, present tense, as in right now. It felt good to hear but it also scared you because you realized that you too were hanging on by a thread.
âYou know, I kinda love that itâs just between us. Like back then it was tough to hide like that, but now I appreciate it more. I feltâŠsafe and protected and normal when we were together, you know?â
âYeah, thatâs true.â He hummed. âDo you ever think about us?â He asked meekly.
âOf course I do. A lot of the timeâŠâ you said with a smile. âLike early last year, Seb opened for someone at the Forum and he likeâŠfell in love with it.â
âRightfully so, sâthe perfect venue.â He said and you hummed.
âLiterally. So he bought us club passes and we went to see John Mayer like a few months later and we had the same exact seats that we had for Elton John. Remember?â
âOh, godâŠdo IâŠâ he laughed and you started to laugh as well. âAnd Jeffrey had to get them to delete the video of us sneaking into the family bathroom, remember?â He started chuckling.
âOh, I remember.â You giggled.Â
âAt least we was fastâŠâ
âWe werenât. We were in there for almost half an hour.â You pointed out.
âWere we?â He asked in shock and you laughed.
âYeah! You said you wanted to to enjoy it or something like that. And when I said we should go home then you said-â
âAnd miss Elton John?â He cut her off and you laughed as you nodded.
âLiterally, you paused, mid-fuck. Like mid thrust, Harry.â You cackled as he laughed loudly over the line, âAs if we werenât already missing the best bits anywayâŠâ you said and he smiled as the laughter died down. âIâd never done anything in public like that before.â You said, âYou tainted me.â You joked.
âYeah, you tell yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep at night, love.â He chuckled and bit his lip as he recalled how you were biting down on his shirt to contain your sounds. He had no idea what had gotten into him that night, all he recalls is the you were wearing this perfume that was so intoxicating, he just wanted to be buried against your neck. Kissing you, inhaling that sweet and warm scent that made his head spin. He was touching you in some way the whole fucking time until he sneakily brought his fingers up your skirt and touched you over her underwear slowly until you were drenched for him. He shifted a bit when he felt his cock hardening up in his sweats at the memory of what happened afterwards in that bathroom.
âOK, thanksâŠjust a funny little story to lighten up the mood.â You said and he hummed.
âI want to see you.â He said decidedly and you bit your lip.
âI donât know if we should, H.â
âRight now. Just FaceTime.â He said and you shot up.
âHarry, noâŠIâm all snotty and shit-â
âWell if weâre not going to see each other in person before I go at least like this. Please, love.â He said and you sighed as you wiped your eyes a bit before the request to FaceTime came in and you accepted and seconds later there you were. Face to face. You stayed quiet for a few moments, just looking at each other, the air was tense with all of the thoughts and feeling being left unsaid.
âI do want to see you.â You said, finally breaking the silence and he hummed. He was in bed, his free arm was pulled back, supporting his head and he was clearly topless from what you could see.Â
âYeah?â He smiled.
âOf course. I justâŠfeel like itâs asking for trouble.â
âWhy?â He chuckled.
âBecause! I mean, look at you just now.â You said with a giggle and he glanced down a bit and smirked.
âHow do you think I felt today at the gym?â
âI was working out!â
âAnd Iâm just laying in bed.â He responded simply.Â
âThis is bad, H.â
âWhat is?â He chuckled.
âThe way IâmâŠlooking at you and thinking about you.â You said softly.
âAnd what way is that?â He asked and you shook her head bashfully as he smiled a bit, âItâs not like Iâm not thinking the same things about youâŠâ He responded and you bit your lip nervously. âEarlier today I was remembering how I found your birthmark.â He said with a placid smile.
âDidnât even know it was thereâŠâ
âYouâre welcome by the way.â He hummed and you rolled her eyes at him playfully. âWhen did you move out of your flat?â He asked changing the subject. He just assumed as he didnât recognize your surroundings.
âLast year. Finally could afford a house. Sâsmall for the area, three bedrooms. Very English cottage/craftsman style, original architecture. Obviously, the inside is renovated, but the external structure is in great shape.â You described and he smiled. âIt reminded me of the houses in the country we saw when we visited your family together up north? The ones with the brick exteriors.â You said and he nodded and smiled, âIt has a lovely front gardenâŠthere are tons of windows so the sun shines in nearly all afternoon. And the garage was turned into like a studio apartment and Iâm planning to renovate it into a little music studio once I save up enough.â
âThat sounds really nice. So where are you at now?â He asked.
âWest Hollywood west.â You said and his eyes widened.
âNo way. Dude, I am like down the street from you right now.â He chuckled and you smiled.
âOh! Really?â
âYeah. I couldnât extend my stay at the Roosevelt so Jeffrey moved me to the SLS on La Cienega.â He explained, âI could literally jog to you if I wanted.â He chuckled and you smiled and bit your lip for a moment. It was already dark outâŠso no one would see himâŠ
âWould you really?â You asked and he nodded.
âYeah, of course! Had to skip my cool down cardio today because there were too many people at the gym.â He said and you thought about it for a moment.Â
Harry was ready to jump out of bed and throw some clothes on and run out if you said he could. He just wanted to be around you again. Even talking like this was nice, just getting to see your expressions and watch you form your thoughts and listen to him.
âMaybe you running over here is not a great ideaâŠâ you said when you heard a police siren down the street. He tried to mask his disappointment at this but nodded, âI could pick you up?â You suggested instead.
âUh yeah, thatâs cool too.â
âDo you have any plans tomorrow?â
âNo, just work out and hanging out in the area.â
âOK, so no strict curfew.â You smiled and he shook his head.
âNope.â
 âOk. Ummm, Iâm gonna try to call Seb again and let him know.â
âDoes he stay with you?â Harry asked.
âNo, he actually lives in Pasadena.â
âOohâŠâ Harry exclaimed with a scrunch in his face, âThatâs a commute just because of the traffic.â
âI know. Itâs not really that far, but man he has to take all the shitty freeways.â You said, âI think he probably went home after we argued. But I just want to let him know that Iâm having you over just to avoid any issues.â You explained and he nodded. He loved that about you, youâd always been really considerate like that and it made him smile that you were still that way.
âOh yeah, of course. I should probably do the same.â He said and you smiled.
âOK. Iâll text you my ETA when Iâm heading out.â
âSounds good.â He nodded and then you hung up.
You tried calling Sebastian a couple times before giving up and going to finish the dishes you had started on, maybe heâd call back. You finished up and still no response from Seb. Then you packed up the leftovers and still he had not called you back. You sighed and just called again, killing a bit of time by going around the house, lighting some of the candles you had out. But as it rang out to his voicemail once again you decided to just leave a message.
âHey babe.â You started out, âI just wanted to say Iâm sorry if I hurt your feelings earlier. Itâs just thatâŠHarry is really important to me and I miss him, OK? I miss getting to be his friend and he just wants to reconnect a bit, OK? His hotel is like 2 miles away from the house and heâs going to come here for a bit. Iâm not sure if youâre on the road home or just went out somewhere nearby, so Iâm just letting you know in case you want to come by whenever. I love you, Seb. Bye.â You finished and then hung up. You then texted Caitlyn just to let her know what happened and assured her youâd call the following day to catch her up on everything. By that time it had been about 20 minutes and you texted Harry to let him know you were on your way.
Harry was relieved to hear back from you with your ETA. After it took more than five minutes for you to get back to him he decided to have a quick shower so that he wouldnât have to do it if he got back too late. He was so nervous, he felt like his heart would beat out of his chest at getting to be with you again. And when it got to two minutes of you arriving he made his way down to the lobby. He was quick as he scurried out and just as he was walking past the valet you pulled up to the curb.
âUber for Garry?â You called out the passenger window with a playful grin and he laughed as he opened up the door and settled in.
âHi.â He greeted you, his smile wide.
âHi.â You responded and then you bit your lip to avoid smiling like Demi Lovato in Camp Rock. You were far too happy, you just needed a second to gather yourself. You were just taking each other in for a moment before someone honked at you and you jumped as the harsh sound startled you both. âJesusâŠSorry.â You mumbled before you started peeling away from the pick up area. Harry was chuckling beside you and you just rolled your eyes at him as he poked a bit of fun.
âHowâd it go with Seb.â He asked, changing the subject.
âIt didnâtâŠthatâs why I took so long. Tried him a bunch of times while I finished cleaning up after dinner. Gave him a bit to call back and he didnât so I left him a message. I did tell him that he could drop by whenever just toâŠsee for himself that itâs fine.â
âYeah, thatâs probably a good idea.â
âYeahâŠI just donât get where all this suddenly came from. Like, Iâve been straight up about everything since I saw you last week and he was fine about it.â
âMaybe heâs just jealous.â
âWell yeah, but that doesnât mean he has to distrust me.â You said and he nodded.
âThatâs true. Well look, letâs not worry about it now. We can have a nice time and catch upâŠâ He smiled and you nodded.
âHave you eaten dinner?â
âNope.â
âShould I stop somewhere? Or thereâs food at the house if you want that.â You said and he nodded.
âYeah, thatâs alright.â He smiled and you nodded. âDo you still cook a lot?â He asked and you smiled and nodded.
âOh yeah, avidly. The kitchen continues to be my happy place.â You confirmed. âCaitlyn is on this vegan kick until next Thanksgiving, so Iâve been trying out a bunch of new stuff that sheâs recommended I learn to cook for her.â you explained with a smile, âSeb is losing his mind about it though, all he eats is brown rice, chicken, and fish.â You explained, âTonight I made like a veggie stir fry type of thing? With zucchinis and other types of squash, carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, and some beyond ground beef.âŠâ
âThat sounds excellent.â he said and you smiled.
âI thought so too! Never thought Iâd have to persuade a grown man into eating that many vegetables.â You said of Seb and Harry chuckled.
âI donât even want to know what that meansâŠâ he mumbled jokingly as he glanced out the window and you laughed.Â
âNot like thatâŠâ you giggled.
âSureâŠsure.â Harry hummed as he side eyed you, who just shook you head in response. âWell you donât have to persuade me. Though Iâm not sure if I should just have you persuade me depending on what youâre persuading people with.â He teased and you rolled your eyes.
âI promised to make his favorite meal next time. That was the persuasion.â You clarified and he chuckled.
âI mean, Iâll still take thatâŠdo you even remember-â
âOf course! Branzino al Limone. How could I forget?â You asked with a smile as you glanced to him briefly, and he grinned in satisfaction. âPerfected the recipe last time I went to Italy actually.âÂ
âWhy? For me?â He asked smugly.
âUmmm, because itâs good?! Also it was one of the dishes in the cooking course I completed there.â You said and he chuckled.
âWell thatâs good.âÂ
âYeah.â You smiled.Â
You and Harry bonded a lot over food, it was basically one of your biggest love languages in your relationship. You loved learning together and you taught him a lot of the things he now knew. You wanted to ask if he cooked for his girlfriendâŠhe probably did, it was part of his charm, part of the wooing process. He invited his love interest over to his and made you his perfected risotto al pomodoro and then had the other person involved in helping with dessert and while that went in the oven youâd kill some time byâŠwell, you reckoned anyone would know what you filled that time with. It was basically straight out of a romcom. He even did it for you when you started dating. But you were much younger then so it was all the more impressive that a man pulled out all the stops like that.
You then wondered if she cooked for him as well. Did she do things better than you or was he left wanting just a bit more, forced to remember you every time she took a stab at his favorites? Or did they even do that for each other in this relationship? You wanted to know about it, but at the same time you knew that any knowledge of how his relationship worked with someone else wouldnât really benefit you in any way. As long as he was happy, that was all you needed to know.
âHey, whatâs the matter?â He suddenly asked when you grew quiet.
âNothing, just ummm, just thinking.â You said as you glanced at him quickly, âWeâre nearly there.â You said and he nodded as you turned down to a residential street. The houses there looked to be of an older build, but they were still very beautiful. There was the odd bright white millennial cement block people were obsessed with currently, but other than that, the neighborhood you were in seemed to embrace the older LA architecture for the most part. âSâthat one there in the corner.â You pointed to your right and he smiled as he saw your little corner house.
âGod it even looks like EnglandâŠso much green!â He chuckled happily as he glanced at you briefly before looking back as you got closer.Â
Yeah, whoever lived there before her absolutely covered the property in plants. The entire front of the property was lined with a hedge that he assumed was his shoulder height or so. And then running diagonally through the front lawn was a little path of steps to get up to the front door, it was lined at each side by some of those little stake lights and blocked off by a little iron gate. You had some free driveway for guests and then another gate to close off the access to the backyard.
âLet me open up the gate,â you said as you unbuckled your seatbelt, âMy control is out of batteries and then I bought the wrong-â
âI got it. I want to snoop your lawn.â He said as he unfastened his own seatbelt and you smiled.
âYeah sure. The gate codeâs-â
âYour birthday?â He asked with a knowing smile and you chuckled, âStill your birthday?!â He asked teasingly and you shrugged. âOh, Iâve missed youâŠâ he hummed quietly, smiling to himself now as he hopped out of the car and walked over to the little keypad at the far end of the gate. âSix digit and pound I assume?â He called out in question.
âYes!â You shouted and he gave you a thumbs up before entering the numbers. Just a second later the wooden gate started to open inward, allowing you to drive in and he allowed himself to then wander down to the sidewalk where he unlatched the gate to get up to the front door.
It was so pretty out there. There was a a flower garden against the gate on the right side and thanks to the LA weather they were still in bloom. He could even smell some of the lavender planted there. He followed the path up to the well lit front door and smiled as he saw the beautiful deep teal colored door. There was a big window to some room in the home, possibly the living room, though he couldnât really make out what it was to because of the thin curtain over it so he just focused back on the door. He just couldnât get over the color. Then at the foot of the door he spotted a welcome mat reading âSup. Iâm mat.â And Harry immediately burst into laughter and glanced around again to see some wind chimes dangling off of the corner of the drop off of the roof. The grass was well kept and there seemed to be plenty of space to sit out here if you wanted to in the evenings when it cooled downâŠ
âWhatâs so funny?â You suddenly asked and he turned around to see you coming up the steps.
âMat.â He said pointing to the welcome mat and you giggled.
âOh rightâŠ$10 if you guess who got me that as a housewarming giftâŠâ you said and he chuckled.
âOh CaitlynâŠIâve missed her too.â He said and you sniggered. âI really like the color of your door.â He complimented.
âThank you.â You smiled.
âAnd the yard is so nice and lush. Love the hedges.â
âYeah? Iâm thinking of getting rid of the hedges.â You shared.
âOh really?â
âYeah. Like I like them for privacy but it just seems so closed off to me.â
âI can see thatâŠWhat does Sebastian think?â
âWho cares? He doesnât live here.â You sniggered and he chuckled and nodded.
âWell personally, Iâd keep âem. Youâre so close to Sunset that when people find out this is your home there are bound to be TMZ tour busses rolling to a stop every hour and a half.â He said and you sighed as you realized her was right, âBesides, it just kinda feels like your own little world with them, you know? Almost like secret garden type vibes.â He said as he looked around the area again and you smiled.
âWell thank you for your input, I will consider it.â You assured and he smiled, âAlright, lets get inside.â You said and keyed your way in. You had one of those keypad doors as well because losing keys was your hidden talent.
âOh wow, this is so nice!â Harry complimented as he looked around inside.
âThank you.â You smiled as you slipped out of her shoes and he did the same. âWant a tour?â
âYeah!â He agreed eagerly.Â
With that confirmation you first guided him down the hallway towards the master bedroom and let him wander around in there for a bit. It had a door to the backyard as well so he looked out there and let her talk about her plans for her little studio before you wandered into the bathroom and closet. He was obsessed with her shower and even snapped some pictures to see if he could do something like that at his place. Then you went to the guest bedrooms to look around in there, and then you stopped in the living room on their way to the kitchen.
âHey! Thatâs mine! I thinkâŠâ He smiled brightly and pointed at a painting of an array of colorful, small and silly, misshapen faces. He walked up to the wall in the living room with tons of art hung on it and studied that one.
âOh yeah, it is one of yours.â You smiled, âI found it when I was cleaning out my storage unit!â
âGod, I was so fucking high when I painted thatâŠâ he recalled and chuckled as he shook his head.
âWere you?â You chuckled and he nodded, glancing back at you for a moment before he looked back to the painting.
âCanât believe I even gave it to you. It was a secret Santa gift, wasnât it?â He asked as he turned back towards you, fully this time and you nodded with a smile in response to his question. âItâs pretty cool. Mâglad you kept it.â He said more softly.
âOf course I did. I love it. It really catches the eye. Sâthe one people ask about the most actually. Especially when they see the signature.â You said and he chuckled.
âYouâve got a lot of cool pieces.â He added.
âThank you.â
âCanât believe we never even went to a museum together.â he said as he turned back to the wall. âSuch a shameâŠâ
âHey, maybe one day.â You said and he smiled as he turned back to you, âAlright, lets get you fed.â You said.
âYes, please!â He concurred and followed you through to the kitchen.Â
You fixed him a plate and told him to feel free to keep looking around the house while it warmed up. You checked your phone again and Seb had not even sent a text in response yet. You were getting worried now, maybe he was serious when he said he was done. You still didnât think youâd done anything horribly wrong, he had been quite demanding and unreasonable in your opinion.Â
When Harry came back into the kitchen to find you staring at your phone he frowned.
âHey, everything alright?â His presence startled you a bit, but you nodded quickly.
âYeah.â You assured and he looked at you skeptically, âI swear. I was just checking to see if Seb got back to me yet.â
âHe hasnât?â He asked and you shook your head as you set your phone down and turned to the microwave to grab his plate. When you turned back he sighed, âIâm sorry.â
âItâs not your fault, Har.â
âBut it isâŠif I hadnât insisted t-to have some time with you then maybe-â
âI wanted to have time with you too.â You reminded and slid the plate over to him across the counter and he settled into one of the stools along the island. You then turned around to grab him a fork. Once he had it in his hand he quickly started eating.
âThis is delicious.â He moaned with a partially full mouth, âMissed how you cook.â He tagged on happily and you smiled.
âGlad you like it.â You hummed and then started to pack the leftovers back up again. âDo you want some wine or water? I also have Cutwaters, which are quite traumatizing but-â
âAre you gonna have that?â He asked.
âI will if you will.â You said and he chuckled.
âYeah, alright. What flavor?â
âSâthe Long Island ones.â You said with a slight grimace and he mirrored your expression.
âDo you have a death wish?â He asked and you sniggered.
âThere were gifted to me with a PR package, OK? Didnât just want to throw âem out.â
âGodâŠjust one though, those are alarmingly strong.â He reminded.
âOh, I knowâŠI hardly even drink anymore apart from the occasional glass of wine. I might only have a cocktail, two max, at events but itâs pretty rare now. So one will definitely do it for me.â You chuckled and he did as well as you turned back to the fridge to open up the box. You came around to the stools and set the cans down and then sat in the spot beside him. âSo what did you girlfriend say?â You asked against your better judgment but you had to know.
âAbout?â He asked, glancing to you before taking another bite of food.
âUs. Hanging out tonight.â You clarified and he hummed.
âOh! I ummm, I just decided not to mention it to her.â He confessed a bit shamefully, âI was going to but Iâm not sure of what her reaction would be and that scared me a bit. And either way, I wouldâve come seen you regardless of her opinion about it, so if sheâd gotten angry well, I didnât want to lie and pretend I wasnât gonna see you on top of making her angryâŠâ he rationalized his decision and then went back for another bite of food.
âA lie of omission is still a lieâŠâ you hummed and he shrugged.
âDamned if I do, damned if I donât.â He mumbled and you sighed and nodded. âI-is that bad?â He asked.
âWhat?â You asked.
âThat I donât care what sheâd think of us reconnecting.â He said and you sighed.
âI think, in a black and white world the answer is yes, but itâs not. And more than that, I mean, itâs us. It feels wrong to be strangers.â You said and he nodded. âBut I mean, in a way itâs good that sheâs new in your life because she doesnât really know how we were together, you know? So she has nothing to worry about. Not that there is anything to worry about at the moment, but if sheâs on the insecure side then it could cause her some concern.â
âLike Seb.â He said. Not meaning to, but instinctually having to point it out.
âYeah, I guess soâŠâ you sighed.
âMaybe he does have something to worry about?â Harry said and you turned to him with a furrow in your brows and then his arched up, âNot with me! Sorry that came out wrong, forget I said anything. Sorry.â He rushed out and took another bite of food.
âIf not about you then what?â You asked him as he chewed and he shook his head.
âJust forget it. I misspoke.â He mumbled after swallowing it down.
âH, donât- donât do that to me.â You said lowly as you looked into his eyes and he sighed.
âI justâŠjust donât take what I say to heart, OK? I shouldâve just kept my mouth shut.â He prefaced and you nodded, âSâjust something a friend told me about their overly jealous and insecure partner that came to mind. She said that often times those people are so worried about what their partners are doing as a form ofâŠprojection.â He said and your eyes softened and you looked down at the counter as the implication of what he was saying weighed on you. âThose kinds of people are often paranoid about their own hidden secrets or agendas being uncovered that they try and-â he stopped when he saw you pick up your can and chug it down for a few seconds before setting it down.
Your chest was rising and falling hard as you caught your breath. You werenât sure if your throat was stinging from the overload of carbonation youâd just gulped down or from fighting off the knot seeking to lodge itself in it. You hadnât considered that before. Maybe you were naive, but you always trusted that your partners had your best interest at heart. Though you had been cheated on twice by the same person in the past, this was right before you met Harry. And well, things with Harry had been so great that you were largely able to overcome your trust issues over the course of your relationship with him. You healed from it, but now it seemed like it was maybe a thing again.
âHey,â Harry spoke softly and grabbed your hand and you turned to him, âI know Seb, he wouldnât do that to you.â He said with certainty, âHe was in love with you for five years, maybe more, and never did a thing about it but wait his turn.â He said and you blinked a few times and nodded, âIâm telling you, it just came to mind but I shouldnât have said anything. It doesnât- itâs not the same situation.â He emphasized.
âMaybe weâre wrong for this. Maybe we just need t-to let it go. The past is the past, thereâs no need to stir up trouble in our present lives over something that clearly wasnâtâŠwasnât meant to be.â You said quietly instead and he frowned.
âYou canât believe we werenât meant to be, Y/N. Of course we were.â He insisted with conviction.
âThen why did we give up?â
âBad timing.â He said simply.
âWell arenât you happy right now? As things are.â
âSure.â He said, âA-are you?â
âI amâŠI mean, I know I could be happier, but Iâm getting there. And itâs not because of you or anything like that, itâs just that Seb and I are still a bit new. And we have a lot more work to do on how our relationship works, clearly.â You said with a smile and he smiled as well and reached for his own drink.
âWanna talk about it?â He asked and you nodded.
âDesperately.â You said and he smiled.
âYeah, we can talk about it then.â He assured.
âOK, you finish up here. Iâm going to get my makeup off and out of these clothes.â
âYeah love, take your time.â He assured and you smiled and hurried off.Â
Harry finished eating in silence, debating on whether he should tell Tay about coming over to your place or not. Maybe you had a point, she wouldnât freak out about it like Seb did because she hadnât seen you guys at your peak. She didnât know how it had been between you two to be worried about anything happening. And as that thought crossed his mind it then dawned on him that maybe he was also right, about the projecting thing. Maybe he was projecting this feeling of disapproval and rejection from her because he knew he was in the wrong for this. He knew that being here with the person he wholeheartedly believed was his soulmate was such a testâŠ
His own lyrics then came to mind, âmy handâs at risk, I foldâ. Heâd written that about you all those years ago. He felt then that youâd both put so much into your love, youâd both bet on it with everything you had only for you guys to realize that it wasnât panning out how you hoped. So you both just pulled out of it before you could get anymore hurt or suffer any more losses. Had folding been a mistake? That was a question that was constantly orbiting in his mind. Had you guys held on a bit longer, would things have suddenly turned around like youâd been betting they would the whole time? Had you guys been too hasty with giving up? Thatâs what it felt like to him, giving up. He hated giving up. He had felt defeated for so long
and maybe he was here because he was supposed to be. Running into you like he did, talk about the luck of the drawâŠwhat were the odds? He dwelled on that thought as he washed his dishes and dried them up. And then he picked up your can of Cutwater to weigh out how much catching up he needed to do and then did just that. He groaned in disgust at the sweet and bitter after taste and then grabbed your can again and made his way to your living room. He set them down on coasters you had at your coffee table and then went to the window to pull the thicker curtains over your window.Â
âHey, can I use the fireplace?â He shouted out and after a few seconds he heard you shout back a yes. So he quickly got a fire going, it was just a comfort thing he supposed. He loved the sound of the crackling firewood and the smell of it burning slowly over the open flame. He got it going and then moments later you came in, your feet in your slippers and your body warmed up in some yoga pants and a crewneck.
âSorry I took so long.â You apologized.
âSâalright, took the time to clean up after myself and catch up with you.â He said glancing towards your drinks and you smiled and reached for yours, so he grabbed his as well. You tucked one of your legs under you as the other dangled off of the couch. Harry just waited for you to start.
âThatâs one of the things Iâm struggling with, about Seb.â You started.
âWhat?â He asked.
âHeâs justâŠa littleâŠhelpless. Or lazy, I donât know which one.â
âHmmmâŠâ
âYeah, he didnât grow up like we did. With everyone pulling their weight, everyone thinking of how what one person does can affect the other. How, you canât always have it your way, you know?â You explained and Harry nodded. âHeâs the youngest of three, has two older sisters, so he never had to lift a finger growing up. His dadâs a pilot and his mom just stayed at home and looked after them. They supported his dreams of being a singer from the get go, like our parents but, they paid for him to come to LA and live here. They had the means so he didnât struggle at all, his only challenge was just to get a scoutâs attention. So fundamentally, we have very different values I think. Especially of what it means to work hard at something. So right now that heâs upset at me, itâs not so much to do with you as it has to do with the fact that heâs notâŠgetting his way.â You explained.
âSo heâs a brat?â Harry said with an amused smile.
âBasicallyâŠa bit.â You said with a small smile, âAnd I do love him, but I donât think itâsâŠenough toâŠto make me truly move on like you have.â You explained. He reached for your hand and you squeezed it for a second before letting go.
âDonât think Iâll ever truly move on from youâŠâ he said, âIâve been thinking a lot about when we ended things. Like what if we had waited just a little bit more and things had worked out?â
âWould you haveâŠwanted that?â
âOf course.â He said with certainty. âYeah, Iâm happy now, but Iâll always wonder if itâs just another path back to youâŠI donât know if thatâsâŠromantic or just plain obsessive.â He chuckled a bit and you smiled.
âMaybe a little bit of both.â You said and he smiled, âIâve been thinking about how fucking insane it is that we ran into each other at Westlake.â You said and he gasped.
âMe too! Been thinking that since we saw each other.â
âI never go to Westlake if I can help itâŠlike ever. So the odds of me even being there areâŠastronomical.â You said.
âReally?â
âOh yeah! Honestly, Iâve delayed recording by a day or two if itâs the only one with open slots.â You giggled with a shake of you head. Maybe it was crazy of you, but you felt like the place was cursed.Â
âThat drastic!? Why?â He asked, his face scrunched up in a confused smile and your smile faded slowly.
ïżœïżœUmmmâŠthatâs where I was, when youâŠcalled.â You said and his eyes softened.
âOh.â Is all he could say.
âYep, suite 2.â You said with a small, sad smile, âI feel like the place is cursed.â You told him what youâd always thought.
âAnd isnât two the number you dislike the most out of all the even numbers?â He asked and you chuckled.
âYeah, actually!â You confirmed.
âDonât you think itâs too big of a coincidence that our paths crossed for the first time in years in the same place we ended our relationship?â He asked.
âOf course, I do.â You sighed and shook your head.
âDo you think itâsâŠa sign?â He asked and your gaze softened as you looked away.
âD-donât do that, H.â You said with a frown and he scooted closer.
âHey, look at me.â He said softly and you glanced up at him, he was just inches from your face. âItâs been you the whole time, you have to know that.â He said softly.
âI feel the same butâŠbut we canâtâŠâ your voice cracked as your eyes welled up.
âWhy not?â He asked you, grabbing your face now, âWhy canât we just be together how weâre supposed to?â
âBecause at some point we werenât supposed to. We canât hurt the people in our lives like that. They donât deserve that.â You sniffled and he swallowed thickly.
âYouâre right. Youâre so right.â He sighed. A moment of weakness for himâŠwhat was he thinking.
âIt doesnât mean I donât love you, Harry.â You said and he nodded.
âI knowâŠI justâŠI canât believe I said thatâŠso ridiculous.â He sighed, feeling so ashamed for even suggesting it and now you reached for him.
âItâs not, Harry. Itâs not like I wasnât thinking it too.â You said and he squeezed your hand a bit tighter.
âYeah?â
âYeah, of course. How could I notâŠâ you said and he bit his lip.
âLook, maybe not now but what about a few years from now?â He said and your mouth dropped open a bit.
âWhat?â
âA few years from now, if we find ourselves alone again we try again.â He said and your lips turned up.
âThatâsâŠthatâs wildâŠâ
âThis whole thing has been wild! I mean, all of this was just a twist of fate. I canât let this go to waste without trying. Youâre my soul mate, I just know it.â He said and you exhaled shakily, âTempt fate with me, love. Just one more time.â He appealed and you chuckled.
âOK.â You agreed.
âYeah?â He asked happily, his heart pounding hard in his chest.
âYeah.â You whispered.Â
Neither of you were really thinking too much about it when his hand came up to your jaw and tilted it upwards and your lips met quickly. When you both realized that youâd kissed you pulled away immediately. Your eyes met as a deafening silence came over the both of you. He hadnât let you go yet and his eyes drifted down to your lips again, how he had missed the taste of them. The feeling of them against his own. He leaned back in and when your hand hooked around his neck he just smooshed his lips against yours with urgency.
You both sighed in relief at the feeling of kissing like this again. You felt like a wildfire right now, fierce and untamable. When his hands landed on your hips and pulled, you quickly got the hint and climbed into his lap. His strong arms hugged around your waist, making you feel safe and cared for in his arms, like old times. You smiled in satisfaction before his tongue licked at your bottom lip and you opened up easily for him. And when you felt your tongues meeting you moaned and slid your hands up to grab his hair to pull at it like you always would. But you were instead met with the smooth and lightly ticklish surface of his buzzcut and you started to giggle.
âForgot about that.â You grinned, before pecking his lips lightly and he laughed with you. You pulled back just a bit, your noses skimming as your gazes met. You kissed him quickly again and pulled back before he could deepen the kiss again, leaving him wanting.Â
âBabyâŠâ he whined lowly. Leaning in and you turned your head a bit, his kiss landing at the corner of your mouth.
âWe should stop before we do something worse.â you whispered and he sighed but nodded.
âYouâre right. Sorry.â He whispered and you just smiled and hugged him and he hugged you back. It was just a few moments into your embrace when you guys heard a car lock beeping from outside.
âThatâs Sebâs car.â You said, immediately recognizing the sound.
âShit.â Harry whispered as he let you go and you clambered off of his lap quickly and assumed your previous seat. âSorry for that. I promise I held off as long as I could.â He apologized and you shook your head.
âItâs alright, I wanted to. Was thinking about it the whole time as well soâŠâ You reassured him as your eyes met and he just smiled at you. Seconds later the lock on the front door chimed, indicating it had been unlocked and then Sebastian appeared, standing at the entrance of the living room to see you and Harry sitting on the couch, a comfortable distance between the two of you.
âHey.â He greeted you both.
âHey.â, âHi, Seb.â You and Harry greeted him.
âSorry for just leaving like that. I wanted to call you back after hearing your message, but I wanted tâcool off a bit. Went to the bar and I didnât realize I dropped my phone there. Luckily, someone found it and turned it in. Then I went to Jakeâs to track it since he lives close to it and when I went back to get it the screen was all wrecked.â He said holding it up.
âOh shit! Mâsorry.â, âThat sucks, mate.â You and Harry said and he chuckled.
âJust bad luck I guess.â He sighed, âSo ummm, you guys just catching up?â He asked and you nodded.
âYeah, Harryâs telling me about performing at Slane Castle.â You said and he nodded.
âDo you mind if I join you guys?â He asked.
âNot at all, mate.â Harry smiled.
âCool. Iâll get a drink too then.â Seb said with a small smile and you nodded as he headed off to the kitchen.
âThanks for putting me on the spot.â Harry whispered with a disbelieving grin and you giggled.
âAs fate would have it, you had an iconic tour this year, so you can tell the storiesâŠâ you smiled.

Hazbin Boys x reader- Comfort â€ïžâđ©č
This is a request from an anon- hazbin boys comforting reader with depression/mental illness. Includes Lucifer, Angel, Husk, Sir Pentious, Vox and just a dab of Alastor. Original request here + a heart felt message from yours truly đ
TW: depression, mental illness, sickeningly sweet fluff
Notes: gn!reader, NSFW during Angelâs part 18+ plz
Lucifer đ
Oh my goodnessssssss, prepare to be treated like absolute royalty.
Iâm talking foot rubs, back rubs, playing with your hair
Not only will he make you food, heâll literally try to feed you and offer you sweet praises when you do eat. Eating can be a real chore sometimesâŠ
âGood job, my love. Itâs gonna be okayâŠokay?â
I think Luci is pretty touchy in general, but when youâre down in the dumps, he gets extra clingy and touchy
Heâll pretty much constantly have a hand on you- holding your hand, a hand on your back, a gentle rub on your shoulder
Will unfurl his wings and drag you close to him in bed, wrapping his arms and silky feathers around you as he lulls you to sleep
Like imagine a midday depression nap all tangled up with Luci, curtains drawn so the room is nice and dark, the temp is perfect, the bed is hugging you just as good as your babe next to is. Ugh. Plz, I want this. I need this.
Will try to gently coax you out of bed and try to get you out of the house. He knows it wonât be easy for you but he thinks getting you cleaned up, dressed and out doing something fun youâll feel a bit better. Youâll at least be distracted from your sadness for a bit.
Heâs so kind and nonjudgmental too. He gets it completely. He has depression too. Even the king of hell deals with mental illness, okay? Mental illness does not discriminate
Heâll offer the best advice he can muster up, using his own experiences to help you out of your funk
All in all, heâs just an absolute sweet pea. So doting, so caring.
Angel Dust đžïž
Also has mental illness, also gets it completely.
KING OF DISTRACTIONS
Angel is a sweet boy but I donât think heâd be too great at offering adviceâŠ
So he does his best to distract you from your feelings, doing whatever it takes to get you to smile, even just for a second.
Will ask you what you want to do first, whatever will make you happy, heâll go along with it.
If you insist on rotting in bed, heâll probably respectfully pull you out of bed, tell you âthis ainât good for ya, babeâ and force you to go do something fun, something relaxing, something for yourself
Sorry not sorry but heâll def offer to cheer you up by fucking you, letting you fuck him, eating you out, sucking your dick. Go ahead, take your stress out on him, he can take it ;)
Also the king of self care.
SPA DAY SPA DAY SPA DAY
Will draw you and him a bath, rub your shoulders while you sit in the warm water together, will even wash your hair for you
Forces you to wear a face mask with him lmao
âCâmon, (Y/N)! Lemme paint ya nails! Youâll look sooooo cuuuuuute~â
Expect lots of touching and kisses with him at night, especially if youâre having trouble sleeping
Rubs your back, rubs your arms, will rub gentle circles on your butt if youâll let him, kisses your head, kisses your cheeks, kisses your nose
ALL THE KISSESSSSSS đđđ
Husk đ
Okay listenâŠthis guy is obvi a great listener and heâs pretty good at giving advice. Honestly, heâs probably the best person to go to.
Husk is an old soul, heâs pretty wise, has a lot of life experience, death experience, his own experience with mental illness and even addiction.
He could just listen to you talk for hours, waiting for you to pause before he replies. Heâd never interrupt. Heâs so patient with you đ„č
Will keep a close eye on you and any new habits youâve seemed to pick up. He fixes his own issues with booze but heâs the type to say âdo as I say, not as I doâ
Wonât let you spiral into addiction like he didâŠitâs not an option.
I think Husk would be a good mix of âCome here, give Husker a hug. Itâs alright, hun. Letâs go take a little nap, yeah?â and âHey, I know whatâll cheer ya up!â *proceeds to show you the coolest, craziest magic tricks*
Heâs a good balance of comfort and distraction
Anything he can do to help, just say the word
Will tell you funny shit heâs seen the folks around the hotel do just to see you laugh for a moment
âOne time, Angel was walking right in front of the bar at like 7 in the morning and tripped over literally nothing and face planted! I had the best seat in the house. It was hilarious.â
This is my own personal headcanon, idk why but I feel like Husk can cook really well. Heâd totally make you food, even bring it to you in bed if you donât feel like getting up
Will absolutely let you play with him like a kitten, wonât even be upset about it. Play with his ears, give him pets, let his fur be your stim toy, let his purr soothe your achy heart
Sir Pentious đ
Plzzzz, heâs such a simp. I love this slippery, special little guy đ
Big on cuddles! Will cuddle you all day, all night if you want. Loves the physical contact, and loves it even more when he can feel you relax a bit against him.
Will make his eggs boys do anything for you. Whatever you want, you tell them and theyâll happily oblige.
Kinda random but I think heâd be the type to try and pull silly little pranks on ppl around the hotel just to get you to laugh. Heâs such a silly goose omg
He doesnât really understand what youâre going through so heâll just keep asking you what he can do, how he can help, what you want, what you need from him.
He doesnât get it but heâll do anything for you.
When youâre feeling particularly lazy and itâs extra hard to leave your bed, heâll literally carry you around. Just lounge in his arms, darling, heâll take you wherever you need to go. Donât need to go anywhere? Fine, youâre gonna come along with him to do his daily tasks. Sit in his lap and just watch as he works.
Just wants to keep you close. He canât stand the thought of you being alone when you feel like this. No matter where he is or what heâs doing, he wants you close.
Unless you insist on having some alone time or needing some space. Again, whatever you need from him, you got it.
Although, he may get a little teary eyed and pouty when he leaves you. Canât stop thinking about you all day and probably comes and checks on you several times.
Vox đ„ïž
âCANCEL MY MEETINGS, HOLD ALL MY CALLS, TELL EVERYONE IM NOT RESPONDING TO EMAILS UNTIL TOMORROW!â
Guy needs to focus on his baby right now. You are his top priority, everything else can wait. You are just too precious to put on the back burner.
Will be sure to tell Val and Velvette to leave you two alone. He doesnât want them upsetting you any more than you already are.
This man has his assistants waiting on you hand and foot. Heâs gonna stay in your bed with you, cuddled up with tons of blankets, both in your pajamas as you watch movies while ordering his staff to bring you whatever it is you desire.
Will eventually yank you out of bed bc he canât stay still for too long but youâre coming with him. Wants to keep you company always
In public, Vox isnât the most romantic or touchy. Heâs a busy man with a huge reputation to uphold. While he would never completely ignore you and heâs no ashamed to show some PDA with you, you sort of always find yourself following in his shadow when heâs hard at work.
Once he sees how much your mental health is affecting you, he becomes much more attentive, much more protective of you.
Heâll hold your hand or keep his arm around you when out and about. Will give you a gentle kiss and a prideful smile before getting on set for a news shoot.
If youâre having a particularly hard day, everyone get out of the way! Hes taking the day off, he doesnât give a fuck what anyone says or thinks.
You are too important to him. Without you, what good would all his accomplishments be? Without you, who would he share all this with?
He needs you to stick around đ©”
Alastorđ©ž
I think Alastor would be absolutely clueless but heâd try his best nonetheless!
Heâd also be one to try and distract you.
Wanna go to cannibal town and visit Rosie? Sheâll help cheer you up! Sheâs a great listener with tons of good advice to give
Will reluctantly invite you into his room and lead you to the half of it that looks like a swamp/forest. He will take off his coat and sit in the grass with you, staying silent but watching you look around in awe.
Heâs got lots of cool powers and will summon or manifest little things here that he thinks will bring a smile to your face.
Summons little lightning bugs to carefully dance around your face, holds back from slaughtering a deer thatâs approaching just so you can admire it from afar, will watch with a genuine smile as you lay back in the grass and relax to the sound of crickets chirping and light jazz music.
If you askedâŠhe might give you a hug. Might.
Also sends his shadow to check up on you every so often but if you notice this, he will deny it with all his might.

So an idea I have for James Vowels, is her telling him theyâre expecting a baby while at a race and Logan overhearing and being so excited for his F1 parents to become actual parents đ„č
A/N: Stopppp this makes me melt cause James just had his real own baby and I just know that man is an amazing father
"Morning," You walk around, fingers tracing over James's shoulders as you take your place in front of him. You two had your signature table when you two eat whenever you two traveled with the team.
If they couldn't find James, they just had to look at the little table in the corner, where the sun was constantly there and warm, not hot, but that soft warm that had your eyes closing, wanting to nap there, but now, James was eating his sausage, eggs, and some toast.
"Morning, my darling," James smiles and you warm hearing those words and sit down across from him. Quickly one of the sweet girls runs up to you and offers you some food. You can't help but pale a little bit at the food and shake your head no. James quickly sits his fork down and puts his newspaper down as well and wipes his mouth.
"Darling, is something wrong? I noticed you reacted like that to my steak at dinner, do you have a small stomach bug?" You giggle and mumble back, "Yeah, some kind of stomach bug," James sighs and smiles gently at the girl.
"Can I get some ginger tea for Y/n?" "Of course, Mr. Vowles." The girl runs off as you take small deep breaths trying to control the curling in your stomach at the moment. James watches you, as you smile and accept your tea and take a slow sip. The color seems to come back to you a little bit and he smiles.
"So, how long have you had the stomach bug? You should've told me you've been sick," James's voice is soft, but you feel the slight curl of sternness he gives Alex and Logan. "Not long, but it'll be here for about 9 or 10 months," You smile into your tea while James bristles "What kind of stomach bug stays for 9 to 10-" He stops fluffing out his newspaper as his eyes grow wide.
Giggling you cover your mouth as James looks up at you with shiny eyes. "Really?" He drops the newspaper and grabs your hand, bringing it up and kissing the inside of your wrist then your ring. "Are you 100% positive?" You nod your head and reach into your pocket and pull out the sonogram with the small little blurb currently in you.
James picks it up with shaky hands and stares at it. "I love you," He whispers to the picture before looking up at you. You two can't help but break out into a laugh and hug each other. "Woah, weird picture." You giggle hearing that American accent of Logan as he quickly grabs the photo.
"Who's having a baby?" Logan steals a piece of sausage from James's plate as James turns around and snatches the picture giving him the most Dad glare every. "Oh...oh...OH! Oh my god, Mrs. Vowles, that's awesome." He whispers and bends down and hugs you gently. "Thank you, Logan," "Logan, leave." "James," You smack your husband on his shoulder, but Logan just laughs and hugs James.
"Nah, it's okay, he wants some alone time. I get it, you two will be amazing parents, I'm great practice anyways." James chuckles and pats the young american on his back as he watches Logan walk off.
"He really is great practice." James mumbles which has you bending over laughing.

Coming Home to You - MM7
Relief floods over you as you step into the warmth of your Manchester home, the front door clicking closed behind you as slip off your shoes and drop your bags by the door.
After a busy few days, down in London for work, youâve never felt more relived to be back home. The 4 hour drive home having done nothing to alleviate the exhaustion taking over your body.
You love your job, itâs so rewarding and comes with some amazing experiences, and honestly, you couldnât imagine yourself doing anything else. But, that doesnât mean it comes without downsides and challenges. The long hours and the time away from home can be exhausting, and itâs times like these where you want nothing more than to snuggle up in bed, let your duvet engulf you, and sleep for days.
You let out a tired sigh, willing yourself to relax a little as you shrug off your coat and hang it by the door, making the decision to deal with your bags later.
The water is just starting to boil when Mason hears the front door open and close from where he is in the kitchen. After an earlier than expected finish at training, he headed straight home to tidy the house and get started on dinner. He knew youâd be tired and a little worn out when you got home, so he wanted everything sorted for you to get in and have a nice relaxing evening without having to worry about a thing.
He tuns the hob off and makes his way through to the hallway to great you, stopping in the doorway to watch as you pull off your coat and hang it up on the rack by the door.
A shriek leaves your lips when you turn and notice him standing there and he canât help but chuckle at the surprised look on your face.
You werenât expecting him home so soon, he was due to be at training for at least another hour, and in your rush to get inside and out of the rain, you hadnât even noticed his car parked on the driveway.
You can feel your face light up at the sight of him, dressed all cozy in his dark green hoodie and black joggers and you canât even give yourself time to wonder why heâs back so soon as he beelines for you, arms wrapping around you in a warm hug.
Your own arms wrap around his waist tightly, your face finding home in his neck and you nuzzle into his skin. You breath him in, the smell of his aftershave mixing with hints of his natural scent calming you instantly.
For a few minuets, you just stand there, basking in his warmth and enjoying the familiarity that he brings you. And, as time passes, you feel your self sinking further and further into his embrace, moving away seeming impossible and extremely unappealing.
You assume heâs feeling the same way as he tightens his grip around you and scoops you up, your legs instinctively wrapping around his waist as he carries you through to the kitchen and places you down on the counter.
âHi sweetheartâ he says, unwrapping himself from you and placing a kiss to your forehead.
âHey, Maseyâ you reply, getting comfy on the counter as you watch him move around the kitchen.
âWhatâs all this?â You wonder aloud, spotting the pans on the stove and multiple ingredients lining the counters. âAnd how come youâre home so early?â
âDinner, and just finished training a little earlier than expected because of the whetherâ he tells you, motioning to the window where you can see the poring rain through the glass.
You nod absentmindedly, relived to know that heâs not home early due to more issues with his recent injury, and also happy that you donât have to worry about the cooking tonight.
If you were in charge of dinner tonight, youâd most likely end up ordering a takeaway. But, a home cooked meal definitely sounds more appealing right now.
âHow was the drive?â He asks, adding the pasta to the boiling water before coming to stand in front of you.
Spreading your legs apart, he steps in between them, one hand landing on your thigh whilst the other reaches up and tucks a stand of loose hair behind your ear. You send him the softest smile you can manage, knowing just how much he dislikes and worries about you having to do that long drive so frequently.
âIt was fine, boring as always but Iâm just happy to be home nowâ leaning forward, you nudge your nose against his in a silent reassurance that youâre in one piece and happy to be home with him.
Your little moment is interrupted when your tummy rumbles loudly, the two of you giggling together as he steps back and continues cooking dinner.
âSorry, Iâm starvingâ
âGood job chef Mase is nearly finished making dinner thenâ He says, earning a very unserious eye roll from you as he adds a few more ingredients to the pan and finishes making dinner for the two of you.
You sit and eat together at the kitchen island, chatting about anything and everything and he canât help but worry as he spots you shuffling around uncomfortably, your hand coming up and holding the side of your neck as you wince quietly.
âYou okay?â He asks, the look on his face matching the concern in his voice.
âYeah, just a little achy from the drive but Iâm fineâ you reassure him, still trying to get comfy and he just nods, wanting to ask more but reluctantly opting not to.
He knows youâre likely to try and brush it off as nothing, so he wouldnât get an accurate answer from you, and thatâs exactly what you were planning on doing. You wouldnât want him to worry about something thatâs probably just a little tension from the drive and youâre grateful when he doesnât ask any more questions. But, you forget that he knows you almost as well as you know yourself, sometimes even better, so despite your seemingly reassuring answer, heâs still worrying as you finish up dinner.
You offer to help him tidy up but he doesnât let you, not wanting to aggravate what ever it is thatâs bothering you so you reluctantly sit back and watch as he loads up the dishwasher and tidies up the kitchen.
âCâmereâ he whispers, helping you down from the stool once heâs finished putting everything away.
He pulls you into him, body flush against yours as he wraps his arms around your shoulders, your own snaking around his waist as you rest your cheek against his chest and melt into him.
âHow about a bath and an early night?â He suggests, resting his head on top of yours.
He places a kiss to your forehead when he feels you nodding, tightening his arms around you when you try and step away, keeping you against his chest.
âNot so fastâ he mumbles, tilting your chin up with his index finger and leaning down to claim your lips with his.
You kiss him back, a satisfied hum leaving you at the familiar feeling of his lips back on yours and you can feel the butterflies raging in your tummy.
Kissing him has always been one of your favourite things. His lips are always so soft and gentle and you feel yourself melting into him as he parts yours slightly, his tongue slipping inside and gliding against your own. Your hand moves up to his shoulder and squeezes gently, his arm tightening around your waist. His other comes up, hand framing your jaw and he brushes the pad of his thumb over the apple of your cheek as he continues to work his lips against yours.
He keeps the kiss fairly light, pulling away after a few moments to look at you, and the soft smile he sends you has your heart soaring.
âCome on,â he nudges his head towards the hallway, untangling himself from you and allowing you to walk ahead of him as you head towards the stairs, turning off all the lights as you go.
You stop short, bending down to grab your bags, but youâre brought to a halt when Mason comes up behind you.
âLet me get thoseâ He utters, hand brushing over your hip as he steps past you and scoops the bags up himself.
You mutter a quiet âthank youâ, sending him a grateful smile before scaling the stairs and heading straight into your shared bedroom.
You begin removing your jewellery whilst he goes into the en-suite, starting the bath and making sure the water is the perfect temperature before adding some of your bubbles and bath salts. He rummages around for some clean towels, laying them over the heated towel rail to warm them up and adds a few finishing touches to the room.
You see him re-enter the bedroom in the reflection of the mirror and he disappears into your walk-in wardrobe, re-emerging with some PJs for the both of you before coming up behind you. He leans around and places a delicate kiss to your cheek, sending you a smile in the reflection before leading you into the en-suite.
The water is still running when you follow him into the bathroom, piles of bubbles foaming on the surface and you can already smell your favourite combination of bubble bath and bath salts. Thereâs a few candles lit and scattered along the edge of the tub and counter tops, the main lights dimmed, causing the room to become enveloped in a soft, golden hue.
You get to work removing your makeup and he reaches over, checking the temperature of the bath before turning the taps off. Taking the pile of PJs he brought in, he makes some space on the heated towel rails, hanging some of your Christmassy PJ bottoms and one of his shirts on the rack before coming back over to you.
âReady, bubs?â He asks, hands coming around your waist as he looks at you through the reflection in the mirror.
Sending him a smile, you nod, reaching to lift your t-shirt off and he gives you a hand, pulling the material over your head and discarding it into the laundry bin before helping you remove your leggings and underwear.
You catch him looking at you, his eyes shining with an emotion that you can only describe as adoration as they scan over your body, simply taking a moment to admire you before holding his hand out for you to take.
Helping you climb into the bath, he watches as you lower yourself into the warm water, stepping back and undressing himself so that he can join you.
You canât help but watch as he pulls his hoodie over his head, his perfectly toned body and the tattoos that you adore so much making it hard for you to look away.
âLike what you see?â He teases, catching your staring, and he smirks when your eyes snap up to his, a deep blush covering your cheeks.
âShut upâ you mumble, voice quiet and he smiles, loving that he can still make you shy after so long together.
âBut, for the record, yes. Yes I doâ you add, and itâs his turn to blush as he steps into the bath behind you.
You shuffle forward, giving him room to slide in behind you and you settle back against his chest. His arms circle your waist, hands landing on your tummy where he traces random figures against your skin and you let your self sink into his embrace. Relaxing fully for the first time in what feels like weeks.
Your head falls back against his shoulder and you tilt it slightly so that you can look up at him. You meet his warm gaze, a soft smile sweeping over his lips before he leans down and touches them to yours.
He keeps the kiss slow and perfectly soft, only breaking apart when you separate to take a breath, and he takes the opportunity to brush his lips over your cheek, trailing kisses down your neck and along your shoulder. He kisses any inch of skin that he can reach, revelling in the giggles that leave your lips when his stubble tickles your delicate skin. His fingers continue tracing over your tummy as you lay there in complete bliss, all thoughts of work leaving your mind until all thatâs left is him.
âSit forward, my loveâ he requests, speaking softly as to not break the peaceful atmosphere. You do as he asks, sitting up and shuffling forward to allow him more space behind you.
He reaches over and grabs your body wash from the edge of the tub, squeezing a generous amount into his palm before lathering it up. His hands find your shoulders, massaging the soapy suds over your back and down your arms before rinsing them off. You think heâs finished, wanting to grab the bottle and return the favour but he takes it from your hand, placing it back down before finding your shoulders again.
His thumbs work over your skin in firm circles, fingers working to ease the tension in your back and he pays special attention to the spots that gain the most reaction from you. Soft hums leave your lips and you have to stop yourself from melting into him, the feeling of his hands working over your skin relaxing you and making you feel like youâre in heaven.
He doesnât stop until heâs content heâs gotten rid of all the knots and tension, double checking with you that youâre no longer feeling any discomfort before scattering kisses along your skin and pulling you back to lay against his chest again.
You stay in the bath for quite a while longer, relaxing together in a comfortable silence until the water begins going cold and you decide itâs time to get out and start getting ready for bed.
Climbing out of the bath before you, he wraps a towel around his waist and takes yours off the heated towel rail, holding it open for you as you step out of the tub. The warm fabric engulfs you as you step towards him, his hands working to wrap the towel around you as he pulls you into his chest.
âHowâs your back feeling, angel?â He asks, placing a kiss to the top of your head.
âSo much better, thank you.â You lean up, placing a quick kiss to his his lips.
âYouâre welcome, baby. Just let me know if it starts hurting again, yeah?â He says, more telling you to than asking, and as much as you donât want him worrying about it, your heart warms at how attentive and caring heâs being towards you.
âI will, Mase. Seriously though, it does feel so much better already, thank you.â You roll your shoulders, still feeling a tiny bit of discomfort but itâs miles better than the pain you were in earlier.
Stepping back, he takes your towel from you, helping you dry off and change into your candy cane printed PJ bottoms and one of his t-shirts before getting himself dry and into a pair of boxers and his matching bottoms.
âDo some skin care with me?â You give him your best puppy dog eyes as you hop onto the counter next to the sink, knowing itâs impossible for him to say no to them.
âSure, bubsâ he says, sounding defeated, but you know deep down that he loves doing your skincare with you. He most likely would of ended up doing it with you even if you hadnât asked.
You push his hair back with one of your headbands, unable to hold in your giggles at the sight of him with his hair pushed back, all messy and sticking in every direction.
âOi, donât laugh at me, I donât have to do this with you, you know?â He teases, threatening to take the band of and you scramble to stop him, pulling his hands down and turning serious.
âNo! No, sorry. You just look so adorable, itâs cuteâ A blush covers his cheeks at your words, his skin thatâs already reddened from the heat of the bath turning even more flushed and it spreads over the bridge of his nose. You canât help but lean in and brush a kiss to the patch of skin there.
Leaning over, you pull all of your different products out of the drawer - âpotionsâ as Mase likes to call them - and line them up on the counter ready to use. You run through your routine, using cleansers and moisturising before moving on to serums.
âWhat are we going for today? Hydrating? Brightening maybe? Or what about anti-aging?â You ponder out loud, adding the last part on as a joke and his reaction has you giggling, just not in the way you anticipated.
âAnti-aging?â He asks, a faux look of offence on his face but it quickly changes to one of amusement. His hands find your waist, sliding under the t-shirt as his fingers tickle over your skin and he quickly has you thrashing around, trying to escape his hold.
âS-sorry! It was a joke! Mase!â you say through giggles, aimlessly trying to grab at his hands.
âYou think I need to use anti-aging stuff?â He stops his actions and you take a moment to catch your breath, worried that he actually took offence to what you were joking about, but the cheeky smile on his face tells you that heâs still messing around.
âOf course not, I mean, itâs always good to use it but youâve got better skin than I have most of the time anywayâ you reassure him, twisting the cap off of one of your serums before squeezing a few drops into your hand and massaging it into his skin.
He takes a moment to admire you as you do so. Watching the look of pure concentration on your face as you work whatever product youâre using into his skin.
He loves these little moments with you. Moments where you feel like the only two people in the world, moments where he gets to have you all to himself without any distractions or worries.
His eyes scan over your face, taking in your bare skin and all of your what you like to call âimperfectionsâ. Little things that you always seem to complain about, but he loves. They make you, you, and youâre perfect to him. In his eyes, youâre the most beautiful girl in the whole damn world, and he wouldnât ever want to change a single part of you.
âYouâre so beautiful, angelâ he whispers, speaking his mind, and you shy away from his gaze, bringing your hands up to cover your flaming cheeks.
Compliments are something you rarely received in your past relationships, but thatâs something that quickly changed when you met Mason. He always wants you to know just how much he appreciates and admires you, and even after a couple of years together, you donât think youâll ever be used to how often he says those types of things to you. His words making you feel special and wanted in a way you never felt before meeting him.
His hands land on your hips, squeezing gently through the material of your PJ bottoms and you sneak a glance at him through your fingers, finding him already looking at you with the softest of smiles grazing his lips.
âDonât hide from me, bubbaâ he gently wraps his hands around your wrists, tugging them away before nudging your chin up with the tip of his finger.
His eyes lock onto yours once again and you swear you can see every emotion thats swirling through them, the deep shades of chocolatey brown shining with so much love and adoration that you canât quite believe itâs for you.
Warmth rushes through you when he steps forward, his hand coming up to cradle your jaw. His thumb brushes over the skin of your cheek and you sink in to his touch, eyes fluttering closed when he rests his forehead against yours and, for a few minuets, you just enjoy his touch and the peaceful moment together.
Youâve always heard people saying that home isnât a place, but a person. And, until you met Mason, you didnât think that could ever be true. But theyâre right. He is your home, your safe space, someone you know you can always count on and trust. From the minuet he walked into your life heâs brought you so much happiness and light and honestly, you canât even remember what life was like before him. Heâs your rock, your person, and after a week of work like the one youâve just had, there is no one else youâd rather come home to. You thank your lucky stars every single day for bringing him into your life.
You reluctantly pull away, suddenly filled with an overwhelming amount of love for him. Your lips place a kiss to the reddened skin on the bridge of his nose before trailing across his cheek and landing on his own. His hand moves around to the back of your neck, holding you to him as his lips move against yours.
The kiss is kept gentle, your lips working against each others slowly as neither of you really having the energy to go any further, but itâs filled with so much emotion and conveys your feelings perfectly.
âI love you so much, you know that?â you whisper against his lips, giggling to yourself as you pull away to catch your breath.
âYou might of mentioned it a couple of times,â he responds, chuckling when he catches you rolling your eyes.
âBut, I love you too, more than youâll ever knowâ he turns serious, catching your gaze, wanting you to understand just how much he means it.
You nod, sending him a tired smile before taking his outstretched hand and jumping down off the counter so that you can brush your teeth.
He holds your shoulders carefully and turns you around so that youâre facing the mirror. Reaching around you, he takes your hair brush and a scrunchie from the draw before working to untie your hair from the bun itâs currently in. He brushes through your tangled ends, being careful not to tug too much and cause you any pain before separating your hair into three sections and doing his best to plait it for you.
âYouâre becoming a pro at thatâ You say absentmindedly, watching through the mirror as he ties the scrunchie around the end of the neat braid.
âI know, I learn from the bestâ his eyes are twinkling when he sends you a cheeky smile through the reflection, âSummer is the best teacherâ he adds, emphasising the fact that he didnât say you and you jab him with your elbow, the two of you laughing together but youâre stopped short when you begin yawning.
âCâmon, letâs get you into bed, bubbaâ he chuckles, placing a quick kiss to the top of your head before guiding you out of the en-suit.
He helps you climb under the duvet, tucking you into the warm sheets and making sure youâre comfy before he stands again. He goes to leave the room, but he doesnât get far, your hand reaching for his as soon as you realise heâs leaving.
âWhereâre you going?â you pout, already battling against sleep.
âJust getting some waters from downstairs, Iâll be as quick as I canâ, he tells you, but your grip on his hand doesnât budge.
âPromise?â You whisper, his heart soaring at your tired eyes and pouty lips and he smiles to himself, loving how clingy you become when youâre sleepy.
âPromise, bubbaâ He squeezes your hand when he feels you loosen your grip, letting you know that heâll be as quick as he can before heading out of the room.
Youâre almost asleep when he re-enters the bedroom and climbs straight under the covers next to you. He leans over to grab the remote from the bedside table and turns the TV on, flicking through a few channels before deciding on Disney+ and you giggle when he selects Ratatouille. The familiar Pixar lamp bounces across the screen as he turns the volume down a little and puts the remote to the side.
He switches off the lamp off and gets himself comfy, laying on his back and opening his arms for you. Shuffling into them without hesitation, you snuggle up to his side and rest your head against his bare chest, the calming beat of his heart right underneath your cheek.
His hand finds its way under your (his) t-shirt, fingers tickling over your back and you snuggle even closer, tilting your head up so that you can look at him.
âThanks for tonight, Maseâ you hum, looking up at him through your lashes.
âYou donât need to thank me, bubs. Youâd do the same thing for me and itâs only right my girl gets princess treatment after kicking butt at work all weekâ he grins, leaning down to kiss you and itâs calm and soft when his lips touch yours.
âI get princess treatment from you everydayâ you say, head dropping into the same place as before and you sleepily nestle into him.
âAs you shouldâ he mumbles, fingers continuing their patterns on the skin of your back.
You lay there for a while, eyes growing heavy as you try and focus on the TV but the beat of his heart combined with his soft touches makes it hard for you to stay awake any longer.
âI miss this when Iâm awayâ you stifle a yawn, snuggling even further into him as you finally give in and let your eyes fall closed.
âMe tooâ he leaves a lingering kiss to your forehead, âNow, get some sleep pretty girl. I love youâ
âI love you too, Mase. Night.â You manage to get out before he feels your body go heavy against his, sleep finally taking over you as you snooze in his arms.

Hello! Let me just say that i adore the way your write!! Itâs so amazingđ„° Can i request something (however you want to write it really) where the character wakes reader up to ask them if reader loves them?
That was a terrible explanation iâm so sorry lol
Iâd love if it could be with Kakashi, Jiraiya and Madara đ„°đ«¶ (or any characters you want)
Thank you so much!đ„čđ«¶đŸđđ
No warnings, Purely fluff, a small itty tiny bit angst, but just a small little bit I promise.
đžKakashiđž
Kakashi doesnât often stay asleep throughout the night, having you beside him in the nighttime drastically reduces the amount of nightmares he has, but unfortunately, he still has those nights where he wakes up sweating, too shook to actually fall asleep again. This time around though, he has you to watch over, so heâs not shaken up for too long, holding your body close to his as he watches you sleep peacefully, the warmth of your weight against him and your steady breathing quickly relaxing him. All this and maybe a book in his hands is a great opportunity for him to spend some time alone. When you begin stirring in your sleep he freezes, trying his best to not wake you up, but even while youâre sleeping, you shift up the bed to hug him, nuzzling your face against his neck, inhaling his addictive scent. At this point he has completely forgotten about the nightmare that woke him up, genuinely grateful for your presence in his life.
He realizes that even though heâs lost too many dearly loved ones, today, in this moment, he has you and in this moment, even though you are asleep against him, you still manage to comfort him, drawing his attention to this very moment. His heart begins to beat faster, Kakashi biting his lip as he tries to push away th intrusive thoughts of maybe losing you too. He canât help himself, panic motivating his next action, slowly nodding your arm with his hand, his heart beating faster when you donât wake up. He canât fight the paranoia sometimes, now attempting to sit upright to try and disturb hour sleep, hoping youâd wake up. âBabyâ, he calls, âHeyâŠY/n, babyâŠwake up pleaseâ, he softly calls, finally able to release the breath he held in waiting for you to respond. Tonight is a difficult night for him, but he seemed to forget that youâre here, and that you will always be here, youâll never leave his side. âMmhmm?â, you sleepily respond, drifting in between reality and your dreams, hearing someone call your name. âBaby, wake up pleaseâ, he calls again, hope filling his heart when he sees your eyes finally open. âY/n. BabyâŠare you awake? Iâm sorry, wake up pleaseâ, he says, waiting for you to get up. âHey babe, whatâs up?â, you ask confused, trying to shake away the sleep. âHey, is everything okay?â, you ask, rubbing your eyes while giving him a few pecks against his neck and cheek. He already feels silly for worrying so much. âUhmâ, he says, clearing thought, worried that youâd be annoyed for being woken up unnecessarily. âIâm sorry for disturbing your sleep, Iâll make it up to you i promiseâ, he hurriedly says and you can hear him swallow, finally noticing the dampness of his shirt, quickly sobering up at the realization that he couldâve had another nightmare.
âKashi, its okayâ, you say lovingly, cupping his cheek in the palm for your warm hand. âItâs always okay, are you okay? Did you have another nightmare?â, you worriedly ask, sitting up on your knees to straddle his lap. Feeling a little guilty for even thinking if asking you this, he looks down in shame, and you can feel his face drop in your palm. Gently lifting his head up you place the softest kiss heâs ever share with you yet on his lips, and you feel something wet against your thumb. âOh sweetheart, whatâs the matter?â, you ask after noticing the tear that fell down his cheek. âI was just scaredâ, he admits, failing to drop his head low again since you held his face firm in the palms of your hands. âWhat is it love? Another nightmare?â, and Kakashi slowly nods. You gasp, your hand reaching the back of his head to pull him into you, holding him close, wrapping you arms around him. surrounded by your scent, he feels so safe, is voice shaky as he asks the next question. âYou still love me?, a small chuckle leaving his lips to mask his feelings. But you knew him like the back of your hand, holding him tighter. âIâve loved you for as long as Iâve known you, and Iâll continue to love you no matter whatâ, you say, separating yourself from him to palm his cheeks again, âKakashi, youâre the love of my life, you donât ever have to doubt that okay?â. Placing another soft kiss against his lips, you feel him squeeze you tighter. âI promise Iâll never leave you, everâ. Kakashi wonders why he entertained any of those intrusive thoughts to begin with, of course you love him. âI love you so muchâ, he says, his words muffled against your neck, but you hear his word loud and clearly, the two of you embracing one another until you feel Kakashi doze off in your arms. The cutest big baby.
đžJiraiyađž
Jiraiya constantly wonders how on earth a man like him was gifted with such a kind hearted, loving partner. A pervert who didnât even think it capable of loving one person, but here he is, holding on to the love of his life, your hand loosely wrapped around a few of his fingers, Jiraiya smiling at just how precious you arm. Needing to use the bathroom, he ever so carefully creeps out of bed, but no, its not to cheat this time, no not with you, he left that life behind, its just to use the bathroom, the intense urge to be back in bed beside you exciting him so much it kind of scared him. After using the toilet, he stood in front of the mirror, staring at his reflection. A strong sense of shame washed over him, thoughts of unworthiness saddening him once again. How exactly is he supposed to deal with all this love? A love so graceful he wondered if he truly deserved it.
How can she love you, you womanizing son of a bâ, âNo, she does love meâŠâ, he spoke aloud, refusing to let any negative thoughts occupy his head any further. âAnd Iâm not a womanizer.â, he added, looking down in shame, trying to convince himself he was right. No matter how hard he tried to fight himself, he just couldnât stop. No one ever bothered loving him, i mean how could they when he was always onto the next, but maybe change is true. Man can change, he reminded himself, his eyes shut to try and center himself. But the more he tried to block it out the more doubtful he became. Was someone pranking him? All those of years of playing with peoples hearts had to have finally come to bite him in the butt right?
He couldnât hold back any longer, he needed answers. Why?, Why does he deserve a chance at love, especially with someone like you. He desperately needed to know, turning off the bathroom light to make his way to your shared bed. Uncertainty eating him from the inside out, he decided to gently wake you up, his large frame spooning you from the front, placing gentle kisses on your face as he called your name. âPrincess, wake up, wake upâ. He is so nervous, the sound of his rapidly beating heart loud in in his, so loud he can no longer handle it, he just needs you to tell him. âY/n, cmon, wake upâ, which you finally do, not sure if you just heard Jiraiya whining in your ear or if you were dreamingâŠthe latter making more sense, until you hear him open his mouth again. âSoâŠyouâre awake now?â, he impatiently asks, still gently nudging your arm. âYes baba, Iâm awake, are you okay?â, you yawn, stretching out a little before you scoot closer to him, happy to feel his warmth surround you once again. âBaby, Iâm okay yes. UhâŠare you?â, âMmhmm?â, is all you say, burying your head in his chest to find some sleep agin, and just when you fly yourself drifting off again, he finally asks, âDo you really love me?â, his voice so low he wonders if you actually heard him, but you certainly did, smiling to yourself before wrapping a arm around him, placing small kisses against his neck. âNothing matters to me more than you Jiraiya, I love you so much baba!â, your words soft and genuine, Jiraiyaâs denial subsiding, gently squeezing you and placing kisses on your forehead. âWill you always love me?â, he asks, a small chuckle leaving your mouth over how whiny he came across, so out of character. âI donât ever want to stop, loving you everyday makes me so happyâ and with that Jiraiya could go on another day confident that he is loved.
đžMadarađž
Honestly, Madara just wants attention, heâs such an attention seeker that heâs willing to disturb your sleep if heâs bored enough, or sometimes just because its fun. I mean, he knows you love him, if anything heâd be confused if you didnât, after all, he genuinely believes heâs the whole package and that youâre truly lucky to have him, but even so, there might be a teeny tiny bit of doubt in his heart sometimes. He will wake you up anyway, just because he can, its something you do too when you want cuddles, so he wants to have his turn tonight.
âHey sweetheartâ, he softly calls, rubbing your back as you lay on top of him. âPrincess, its time to wake upâ, he says, placing his hands on your underarms to effortlessly lift you up, your upper body dangling above him while he gently shakes you like a baby, which does the trick, your body jerking as you wake up from the feeling of falling, your arms flaying everywhere when you opened your eyes and realized you were not laying on anything. âRelax babe!â, Madara chuckles, gently lowering you to lay on top of him again. You immediately sit up on your elbows, your arms on each side of him as your stare him down, easily finding his blood red irises in the darkness of your room. âBabyyy thatâs not funny!â, you whine, your husband still laughing at you, his pupils still spinning, recording the entire thing. âHeeyâ, you softly yell, biting your lips to try and hold yourself back from laughing, but his laugh was so contagious you just couldnât, annoyed that you couldnât be serious about this. âBabbbyyy!â, you giggle, lightly slapping his chest, his large hand cupping your cheek, as he slightly lifts himself up to plant a kiss against your lips. âIâm sorry princess, I didnât mean to startle you like thatâ, his voice calm and deep, so soothing you felt like you could forgive him, leaning forward for another soft kiss, your lips simply pressing against his before parting. You could kiss him like that forever. âWhy are you awake? And why did you wake me up?â, you question, your eyes almost closing as his hand now moved to the back of your head, massaging your scalp as you spoke. âI just wanted to know somethingâ, he says, delaying the reason, making you impatiently whine, âUh uh, i wont tell you why I woke you up if you whine like thatâ, he teases, âokay then goodnightâ, you respond, laying down on his chest. âOkay okay waitâ, he huffs, annoyed that you won.
âI, just wanted to ask if you love me?â, he asks, manipulating his voice to sound all innocent and cute, making you roll your eyes as you giggle. âI should be asking you that since you woke me up like that baby, but how can i not love my attention seeking little babyâ, you tease, planting small kisses on is lips, making him smile. âHey Iâm not an attention seekerâ, he says, lightly smacking you butt, a giggle escaping you lips. âSays the guy who woke me up to ask if i love him, even though I told you I love you a million times before we went to bedâ, you yawn, snuggling into him once again, Madara lifting the blankets up to cover you. âWhatever princess, I love you okay?â, he says, wrapping his arms around you, smiling at your response and you quickly dosed off. âI love you so muchâ

Thank you so much sweetheart and I hope I can reach your expectations â€ïž
My little angel â€ïž
Summary: your parents finally allowed you to go abroad on a vacation and you decided to go to spain where things took a quick turn
Warnings: nsfw, 18+, daddy kink, size kink, choking, praise kink
âPlease mum! Im 22 now! I can go out aloneâ you stated to your mum as she kept saying no for quite a few times. You then let out a frustrated sigh as your mum said âwell just dont do anything illegal and dont get in trouble okay?â you then rolled your eyes and couldnât help but laugh at what she just said. âAweh mum dont worryâ you said as you hugged her tightly.
Honestly you were loving Spain, the weather, the people, the atmosphere everything was so different than what its in France. It has been 2 days since youâre here, loving your sweet little trip. After roaming around in Madrid for a while you wanted to go to this museum although you didnât like museums that much.
As you went there you sort of felt lost because you didnât actually see the museum map before going inside which ended up you wandering here and there. All this time there was this man who was examining every move of yours from distance. You suddenly bumped to a man when you turned around and apologized immediately as you looked up at him who was looking at you with a smirk on his face. âYou look like youre lost in this town, lost in this museum. Do you need help baby girl?â He asked, his tone was so polite and gentle. âBaby girl?â You asked as you furrowed your brows and crossed your arms together. He then chuckled at your question and started nodding his head. âI mean, you look really young and innocent. May i know what your name is?â He asked as he looked at you straight in the eye. âIm y/n not baby girlâ you said as you rolled your eyes at him and he smiled. âIm carlos by the way. But you dont seem like youâre from here. Are you?â He asked as you shook your head. âNo no im actually frenchâ you said. âWow thatâs interesting, i can show you around baby girlâ carlos said as he pointed at the main gate to signal you to leave with him and you just smiled.
The whole evening was fun with him, every little jokes he cracked made you laugh so hard. Teaching you a little bit of spanish in between your conversations with him. Everything just seemed great with him. But the âbaby girlâ nickname just stayed there. âWhy do you keep calling me that? I have a nameâ you said as you laughed a little. âBecause you are a baby girl. So beautiful and innocent for this worldâ he said as he got closer to you. His lips just a few inches away from yours as you started to feel the heat rush through your body. Somehow his presence was so powerful that you could just give yourself to him. You parted your lip a little as you tried to lean in but Carlos grabbed your face and snapped you back to reality. âOh, you try to be so wild in front of me but inside youâre just a sweet little angel, so naive and sweetâ he said as his thumb started to caress your lips as the need inside of you grew much more than before.
âYoure so innocent baby girl. Oh the things I would love to do to you, right nowâ he said that was just like a whisper in your ear. âLike what?â You asked as you looked up at him with doe eyes. âOh youâll know soon, youâll knowâ he said as he came more closer, letting your heart beat faster than before. Your whole body stiffened as he felt him pull away and smirk just inches away from your lips, teasing you to the point where you couldnât take it anymore as you let out a frustrated sigh. âBeing frustrated wont help baby girl, come with meâ he said as he turned around to look at you with a cocky smile on his face.
The fragrance his house had was so warm and welcoming as you sat on the couch and carlos brought a bottle of wine and placed it on the table. After a couple of drinks you started to feel carlosâ cologne more in your nose. You just wanted to wrap your hands around him. The tension grew stronger between you two.
Carlos then came closer to you as he placed his huge hands on your thigh chuckling at the sight that you are so small. "Fuck baby girl, you're really small for me. But dont worry im gonna make it fit in your hole. All your holes" he whispered in your ear as shiver ran down your spine and you rubbed your thighs together. "God, look at you. Already needy." he said as he looked down and looked back at you as he came closer to lips and brushed his lips with yours causing you to open your mouth a little but that didnât help. You then whined and groaned as you looked at him with puppy eyes. âYou really think youre gonna get what you want from me just by whining? Not at all angel. Use your pretty little mouth of yoursâ he said as his hand wrapped around your neck, choking it lightly first then tightening the grip as you gulped at the sight in front of you. He then pulled your t-shirt up and dropped it on the floor as he wrapped his hands around your waist to lift you up and position you properly on your back, as he groaned at the fact that his hands fit perfectly around your waist. âGod, even your waist is smaller than my handsâ he said as he trailed his finger down your lower abdomen as you started to squirm in his touch again.
He then tucked in your pants and you tried to push it down by grabbing his hand but he was strong enough to stay still and not push it down. âUse. Your. Wordsâ he said, his tone so cold as you whined out. âI-i want youâ you managed to say. âNo its not good enough baby girl. Tell me properlyâ he said as he unzipped your pants slowly. âI want y-you to fuck me. P-pleaseâ you said whining as you ran your hands over his chest. âYeah thats more like itâ he said as he grabbed your hand and kissed it. He then pulled your pants down along with your underwear and did the same with himself.
Carlos brushed his tip at your entrance that made wet sounds from your pussy as a string of slick connected with his dick to your pussy as he groaned at the sight. âFuck baby girl, your pussy is so small for me. Can you take it like a good little girl you are? Take it all for me?â He said as he caressed your face and you nodded impatiently. He then went inside of you slowly and stayed still for a moment until you started to rock your hips against him. At first his thrusts were slow and gentle but he went deep inside of you every time. âFuck carlos, stop teasing meâ you said as you bucked your hips up. âBeg for it baby girlâ he said as he smirked at you. âF-fuck me harder daddy p-please!â You pleaded as he choked you again and kissed your ear before saying âdaddy huh? youre that needy?â you just nodded as he went faster and you dig your nails in his forearms. âFuck fuck f-fuuuck yes!â You screamed out.
Carlos then pulled your legs above his shoulder and kissed your ankles as he continued to fuck you. The heat between you two, the intensity, everything was just too much to handle. âYou look like an angel baby girlâ he said as he groaned. âMy little angelâ he threw his head back as his breathing got heavier. âDaddy i-im gonna c-cum so bad, fuckâ you said as your back started to arch uncontrollably. âMe too baby girl, me tooâ he said breathlessly. You both got down from your high when carlos kissed you, so softly that it made you melt. His kiss was so sweet and gentle.
âWanna watch the stars?â He asked out of nowhere as he kissed your forehead. âYesâ you said that was like a whisper. You both then went to the terrace as you snuggled in his arms and watched the stars. His finger twirling in your back as he rested his face on your head. âWhen are you gonna go back to France?â He asked softly, his voice sounded like he wanted you to stay there forever, with him. âTomorrow eveningâ you said as you looked up at him and saw his face froze as he said nothing. You sat back up with a concerned look on your face. âI can come visit you again if you want carlosâ you said as you cupped his face and his face started to fall. His eyes begging you to stay. âOr maybe I can go visit youâ he said, his voice started to break a bit. You smiled and nodded. âYeah exactlyâ you said. âPromise me youâll come back againâ carlos said as he came closer to you. You then hugged him tightly âi promise carlosâ you reassured him as you felt tear in the corner of your eye.
A/N: requests are open! feel free to ask what you want me to write! luv you â€ïž

@b-floyd-o-leech-b here, Tumblr doesn't allow you to send asks using your side blogs-
May I please just give Floyd a nice pair of shoes without expecting anything in return?
(If he gives me something back though, I wouldn't mind).
It can be afterschool in the hallway, and my current TWST oc is a grumpy guy named Bob that is a little bit tsundere, but he's a bit of a self-insert for my bad moods so if you just want Floyd to refer to him/me as in the 2nd person, I don't mind.
If I forgot or missed anything, please DM me, I read through the rules and probably still forgot, like, half of them. (My memory isn't great, sorry. đ
)
Totally fine >:D I'll do my best!!!
Christmas Secret Santa Event
m!reader x Floyd Leech
: ÌÌâ Scenario: You decide to give Floyd an early Christmas gift so you track him down after classes end.
A/N: So what I got from your description is that reader is gonna be a grumpy/tsundere for Floyd. Hope I interpreted that correctly *nervously sweating*
àłââ· Just đ
àłââ· Mutual crushes
àłââ· Reader isn't Yuu
TW: None
"Y/N~~ What did you want me here for?" Floyd asked as you rounded the corner, him trailing behind you. "Azul's gonna be mad if I'm late for work at the Mostro Lounge." He said.
"I- I wanted to give you something." You said, growing more embarrassed by the minute. But you knew that if you gave him the presentâ or more likely, he'd get it from under the tree himselfâ that he'd make a huge fuss and make even more of a scene. Sooo, you decided that you should give him his gift alone and spare yourself the embarrassment.
You held out the box to him, feeling your cheeks turn red and you turned away. He blinked for a moment, likely not expecting you to be giving him something, but his droopy grin returned and he laughed. "Awwwww, Y/N~ you got me a gift?" He said in a drawled-out way. He took the box, making sure to touch your hand in the process with a sly grin.
You scowled at him and went to walk away but he grabbed your wrist with a pouty face. "Y/N~~! You aren't gonna wait until I unwrap it? That's so meeeean!" You gave an exasperated sigh and stood where you were. He snickered and opened the present.
When he pulled the new shoes you'd bought him out of the box, his face lit up and he gave a little gasp of happiness. "New shoes? Awww, you're so thoughtful!!" Before you could react, he pulled you into a tight squeezing hug. You momentarily lost your breath as you squirmed around, trying to free yourself, though you only got away because he let you go.
"Aw, but I don't have anything to give you in return!" Floyd exclaimed, his mood shifting to being sad. "T- That's fine! I don't need a gift anyway!" You replied hurriedly, holding up your hands.
"But that'd be unfair if you gave me something and I didn't do anything in return. Hmmmmmm...." Floyd didn't appear to be listening to any of your protests, until he finally decided on something. "I got it!" He said, eyeing you with his semi-sadistic looking smile.
You were not in the mood to figure out what that meant, but he grabbed you around the waist dropping the box in the process which you thought was rude since they were brand new and gave you a quick kiss on the lips. It ended pretty much in the same moment as it started, but the suddenness of it made your face heat up and you were certain that your face was bright red.
It also left you unable to form a proper sentence. "F- Floyd! Iâ youâ whatâ" Floyd gave a giggle and scooped up the box, then started walking down the hallway like nothing had happened, leaving your mind racing. "Ehâ FLOYD!!!!"
Now that you had collected your thoughts, you chased after him down the hallway. When he realized that you were now following him, he took off running as well, turning only to playfully stick his tongue out at you.
I'M DONE OMG đ„č I had no idea how I was going to start this off and this was like the only thing I could think of. Also Floyd seems to be VERY popular. He might actually have more fics than Riddle soon lol. Anywayyyyys, I hope everyone enjoyed this kinda short post (especially you, @b-floyd-o-leech-b!!!!) and I look forward to more requests for this event <3

All I Really Want Is You
older!neighbor!widower! steve x fem!reader chap four/ten - a slow burn series of blurbs - updated every wednesday
Good Morning & Goodnight
summary: Your first night out with friends ends when Steveâs work day begins.
wc: 1.2k
warnings: 18+ series for future chapters, weâre a hot mess but Steve loves it.
authors note: Itâs a shorty! I canât believe weâre almost half way through. đ„č this is a stepping stone chapter for the next one but it doesnât mean that I didnât at least give you something đ
đ chapter three <- -> chapter five
The Masterlist/The Playlist/The tune:
Middle of June - 6:15am Monday Morning
Free drinks with your coworkers at the bar after close seemed like a great idea, until you were stumbling out of the club with a few of the other girls at dawn. Birds chirp loudly into the fuschia sky, mocking the hangover that was sure to hit as soon as your stomach processed the breakfast sandwich you ate on the train ride home.Â
The dull throb of your dehydration headache starts rearing its annoying head once you hit your street, your platform sandals dragging against the sidewalk. You can feel the way your eyeliner starts making your lashes stick with every slow sleepy blink of your eyes. Throat dry, all you can think of is your Brita in the fridge and how much you hope you refilled it last night.Â
âHowdy neigh- oh, honey.âÂ
Your eyes widen when you hear the voice of the last person you want to see you like this. but you know thereâs nowhere to hide when you reach your gate right as Steveâs leaving his. Meeting his gaze sheepishly, you can feel the heat rise up your neck and cheeks. You remember the blurry image of your smeared make up in the club bathroom mirror a few hours ago.
âHi Steve.â You give him a small wave, embarrassment making you kick the sidewalk with the toe of your sandal.
âFun night?â He smirks, pulling his Raybans on top of his head and pushing the hair out of his face. Specks of gray stand out on the sides in the fresh new light. His face is clean shaven, a crisp white dress shirt fitting tight across his chest, the outline of the tank top underneath visible. It brings you back to the way it clung to his muscles in your kitchen last week.
âYeah, actually it was.â You use the last of your strength to form a smile, immediately wincing when you do and he has to stifle a laugh.
âIâm glad to hear it, although I do hope you donât work today.â He reaches down adjusting the belt around his waist, before shoving a hand in his black dress slacks leaning against the gate with the other. His silver watch is just as shiny as his shoes.Â
âNo Iâm of -â your voice cracks, making you clear your throat and suddenly the sun is extra bright. âNo, Iâm off today.â
âGood and please tell me you have ibuprofen up there?â Genuine worry paints his handsome features, he knew what a first Chicago hangover was like. It takes all of his will power not to work from home so he can check up on you the rest of the day.
âYes, Iâm not completely useless in taking care of myself you know?â You donât mean for it to sound so snippy, but the hangover is getting the best of you and getting words out feels like knives to your skull.Â
His eyebrows raise, a little shocked before his face relaxes with a warm smile. A silent understanding.
âI didnât mean it like that tough girl.â He straightens up with rosy cheeks.
âIâm sorry, that was rude. Iâm just really tired and Ubers were like a million dollars -â You can hear how your words start to shake, the lack of sleep finally catching up with you.
He steps forward on instinct, arms starting to outstretch in a hug, only to stop once his brain connects with the movements of his body. Maybe it was the little bit of alcohol still left in your system that makes you bold enough to meet him in the middle, but there is no turning back when your arms snake around his waist.Â
The muscles in his abdomen flex against your touch, and you feel him freeze up for a second before pulling you tight into his chest. The aftershave and cologne are overpowering against your senses, but you donât care, inhaling deeply. He rubs a soothing palm down the dip of your spine with just enough pressure to make you sigh.
âI know, it feels like death,â he chuckles, âGo get some sleep okay honey?â His words come out soft against the top of your head before he gives the sides of your arms a squeeze pulling back just enough to see your face.
You want to kiss the two moles that sit side by side on his cheek, especially when he looks at you like this.
âSorry for the dramatics at 6:30 in the morning.â You canât help but giggle, brushing away the glitter that rubbed off onto his clean shirt.Â
The way he smiles with all his teeth tells you he could care less.
âHey, you might not believe it but I used to have many nights like this way back when, alright?â He gets the eye roll that makes his whole day, and he has to resist the urge to pull you in for another hug.
âSuuuure grandpa,â you tease â his affection enough to make you feel like a functioning person even if just for a few minutes.
He scoffs with fake offense before he gives you one of those winks that makes you weak in the knees, and for a second you think he might kiss your forehead.
âAlright, I need to get to work and you need to go to bed. Donât be a stranger if you need anything later okay?â He rubs up and down your arms before finally stepping back and you wish heâd just come lay with you.Â
You muster a nod before straightening out your wrinkled dress, shyness coming back when he slips his sunglasses back on. Why did he always have to look so good?
âHave fun at work, I promise I wonât die. I just need some water and a shower.â You try and wave off his worry as you make your way through your gate.
âYou better not. Bandit would be very upset about losing his new best friend.â Itâs his turn to get sheepish. âMe too.â
It doesnât hurt when you smile this time.
âYou have my word Steve.â You put your palm against your heart in a vow just for him.
âThatâs my girl.â He grins, twirling his keys before catching them in hand, finally turning around to go to his car and leaving you a mess on your front steps.
Thatâs my girl.Â
The words play in your head on a loop while you shower, when you drink your bodyweight in water, and as you take enough ibuprofen to give you an ulcer. They haunt your dreams when your body gives into sleep and your headache finally subsides.
A loud knock on your front door wakes you from the kind of sleep that leaves you with a sore throat and a foggy brain. The sun is lower in the sky that shines through the crack of your new curtains, your clock reading 6:05 pm in glaring red letters when your eyes catch the time.Â
You can barely pick your feet off the ground when you shuffle to the door, a yawn loud enough to hear over the whir of the A/C. You unlatch the dead bolt, and when you open to see whatâs on the other side, youâre reminded of his words from earlier that felt like a lifetime ago. They make you feel special again like they did at six in the morning despite the roll of your eyes, your lips twitch when you read the note thatâs attached to the Doordash hangover cure from your handsome neighbor.

heyyy how are youu? can you do 2009tom x reader fluff,where tom meets readerâs family for the first time,he meets her niece and nephew,also her brother and etcđ„č
ᥣđ© tom meeting your family
âcome on tomm, itâs really cold..!â you exclaim to your boyfriend as your shivering in your spot at the front door of your parentâs house.
âwait babe i gotta grab the cake i bought,â
he slammed his car door to reveal a somewhat fancy paper bag that presumably carried the cake he was talking about.
âyou bought cake? youâre so cute, theyâll definitely love you with or without it though,â
âi knowâi justâfirst impressions yâknow?â
you kiss him on the cheek to watch his face turn a rosy palette, knocking on the front door the both of you await for someone to let you in sooner than later.
as the door swung open, you were immediately met with your loving mom.
âhey babyâmwahââ as she kisses you on the cheek, âthis must be tom! hello hii welcome to the fam itâs so nice to finally meet you!â
âitâs great to finally meet you too..â
âcall me mom!â
âo-okay..! i bought a cake, i hope it youâll like it,â
âoh how kind of you sweetie, iâll take that from you! come in come in you guys must be so cold,â
the two of you enter the house you once remembered to love so dearly before you moved out with tom. looking in his direction, you can see him smile ear to ear as his cheeks tint a nice pink.
heâs shy, and nervous, but secretly so happy over the fact that your mom already loves him.
as the two of you converse, you find that tom getâs along with everyone. he met your dad, loves him. your brother and tom both play the guitar, tom offering to even give one of his own to him to which your brother jumps in joy.
aunts and uncles and grandparents treat him as their own, pinching at his cheeks, spoon-feeding him, giving him immense amount of compliments, hugging him as if he were their own blood and the overall coddling of your 20 year old boyfriend.
however, it seems as though one particular individual isnât so fond of him.
âwho the heck is this!? and whatâre you doing with y/n??â it appears to be a small boy, probably around the age six or seven, gap toothed and seems to be in a sour mood at the appearance of your boyfriend.
âsammy, this is tom! my boyfriend!â
his face contorts in disapproval, tom pouting to retaliate your nephewâs foul mood.
ânoâi donât like him..â
âhey! you donât get to talk to my boyfriend like that..â
âtch, whatever.â
you click your tongue and decide to just go prepare and grab plates of food for tomorrow and yourself to eat.
you had to leave before you actually strangled the kid.
âiâll be back baby iâm just gonna go grab us something to eat âkay?â tom nods as you kiss his cheek to leave him in the room with sam.
silence. absolute silence, as they both stood there staring at each other.
âdo you love her?â sammy asks.
âi do love her.â
âwhat do you love about her?â
âeverything. sheâs my whole world to me, i was hoping to get along with her family, she says it means a lot to her that we do,â
sam twiddles his thumbs within his hands, had he made y/n upset? was he being immature?
one cannot help but feel protective over the aunty that cared for her since he was born.
âyou likeâreally reallyâlove her??â
âreally really, sam,â
âew donât say my name, but i guess.. i guess i can get to know you,â
âyeah?â
âyeah.â
âbut if you ever break y/nâs heart.. iâll come for you,â
âalright big man, whatever you say,â
tom holds out a fist, sammy hesitates to reciprocate the gesture, with a big cheeky smile, the little boy punches tomâs arm and runs off to god knows where.
âow..â
as tom rubs his arm to relieve himself of the pain, standing alone, he feels a tug on the jeans he calls pants, way too baggy for him to even touch his legs, but enough that he felt the sensation of pulling at the bottom of them.
he looks down, he spots a little girl, seemingly younger than sammy. in pink frills and two low pigtails, she looks up at tom with beady eyes.
âwell hello there child,â
she doesnât respond. not yet verbal enough to actually make out the words she wouldâve wanted to say to him, if there were any at all.
letting go of the pant leg, she makes grabbing motions at tom. to his surprise, it seems as though stranger danger isnât really a concept to her as it is for sammy.
picking her up in his arm, he carries your niece holding him up to his chest as she sit on his forearm comfortably.
he jumps her up and down in his arms to see her smile, also smiling on his own.
âwhy arenât you cute??â
he coos, holding out a finger in front of her, for her to wrap the totality of her hand around his index finger.
tom could feel his heart melt at the sight of how adorable she was.
coming back, you hold two plates in both hands to witness the site of your boyfriend getting along with your niece.
âarenât you two the sweetest?? seems like youâve meet lily!â
âsheâs so.. cute!â
the little girl cannot help but shy away, hiding her face in tomâs neck.
it doesnât explicitly show, but it seems as though your niece has taken a very big liking to tom, she definitely thinks hes the cutest boy sheâs ever seen.
âhey! donât go stealing tom from me now, thatâs my boyfriend,â you rush to put the plates full of food on the table to tickle at your niece.
she giggles and jolts in tomâs grasp as he attempts to securely hold onto her, lily wrapping her small arms around his neck.
you sulk and cross your arms, she won the battle, but you also cannot help but gawk at the sight of seeing tom hold your niece so lovingly.
âshe stole my boyfriend from me,â you scowl as you playfully hit tomâs arm.
chuckling, tom cannot hide the wide grin plastered on to his face, smiling ever so brightly.
âjealous?â
ââŠyesâ
âawww donât be like that, youâll have enough of me later,â
your mouth agape as he smirks at you, clearly intending something behind that, you feel anxious, but impatient.

Hug Me!
gn!reader x malleus draconia
your lover wants to drown you with their affection but doesn't know how, until you beat them to it.
note: ok so it's been a while since i last wrote something i am sorry if it is a bit rusty đ and i tried writing in a 2nd point of view let me know what you guys think abt it ^^
Walking down the trail back to the Ramshackle Dorm feels nostalgic after being stuck in the training camp for a while. Finally going back to your own dorm after a week of chaos is such a great feeling. Stretching your arms up in the air, you let the warm breeze welcome you back home.
"Never thought there would be a day that I would miss our precious dorm." While you seemed to be happy being back, Grim on the other hand is on a whole new level of joy, feeling free from everything - eyes sparkling and the fire of his ears start to go brighter.
"My sweet soft bed! No more errands from those professors and students finally I can sleep in peace."
"Grim wait- and there he goes." Before saying another word, the cat monster immediately speed towards their dorm leaving you alone on the trail. '
Silly Grim, I'll make sure that he gets his favorite tuna later.'
The prefect continue walking down the trail enjoying the scenery - birds chirping, tree leaves dancing in the air and a certain dorm leader standing in front of their garden.
Such a wonderful sight brought a smile to your face as you quietly walked behind the person - trying to give them a scare by covering their eyes but then unexpectedly your surprised (eye color) eyes met excited bright green ones.
"Child of man, you are back. You were gone for some time." Malleus muttered, his hands holding your hands together gently as if anytime you are going away for another long time. Seeing how your lover looks like a sad dragon, you find your hand patting his head and gave him a kiss on his hand.
"I missed you too, Mal! Let me tell you what happened during the camp, I wished you were there." The two of you sat together under the tree near the garden, Malleus laying comfortably on your lap as you continuously run your fingers through his hair and horns. From morning till noon, the ravenette listen to all of your story with an unknowing pout on his face.
'It's been a while since I last saw you.' Being away from you for some time made the dragon yearn for your affection and wants to drown you with his own love. 'But you look so happy talking about other humans.'
Hearing stories of you having fun without him makes him a little sad. A sigh escaped his lips making you sneak a glance at Malleus' face. Noticing how his mood changed, you poke his forehead with a finger and let out a giggle when he somehow looked confused with your actions.
"(Nickname) why did you stop?" He sat up and look at you curiously. You crossed your arms in front of your chest and puff your cheeks out - looking the other way with a huff.
"Aren't you forgetting something? I am really hurt." Although you said it as a joke, there are so many thoughts running to the Draconia's mind at the moment. Did you get offended in some way? Or did you read his mind? Did you not like his hair condition?
A laugh cut his brainstorming in a halt and all of his problems were solved the moment you opened your arms wide with a grin.
"You goofy dragon. Hug me!"
Ah, it was so easy. How can he be so foolish? Malleus chuckled at his own dilemma, looking directly to your eyes before engulfing you into a warm hug - burying his head to your neck and let out a soft sigh as if he is in the safest place in this wonderland.
"I am really back home, Mal."
"Welcome home, my love."
and little did they know something will happened in the future *ahem* chapter 7 *ahem* anyways i can't wait for diasomnia's ssr dorm cards like SEBEK'S CARD IS SAUR PRETTY IM SO GLAD I GOT HIM đ„č

Oh my god, if you could please do line 7 and 13 for Hongjoong with shibari Iâll literally love you forever đ„čđ
(Please of course only do it if youâre comfortable! If youâre not, then just whatever your creative side comes up with will be great. Iâll gobble it up regardless đ)
Thank you for all you do and your amazing work! đđ
7_ âGod, you look amazing like thisâ
13_ âSince when do friends do things like this?â
W/T: friends to lovers, jealous Hongjoong, shibari, unprotected sex
âą HII here you go babe, i hope you like it :3 although itâs my first time writing about shibari, i really enjoyed writing it!
- not proofread cuz im about to pass out from tiredness :/
Finally itâs Hongjoongâs birthday, and though he hasnât planned a big party, he invited you at his place, wanting to spend more time with you: the girl whoâs secretly obsessed with. Hongjoong just finds anything you do attractive and caring, he canât stop thinking of you and how cute you always appear. This surely involves that heâs genuinely jealous of you, and seeing you with another guy immediately ruins his mood for the entire day.
You greet him, giving him a tight hug when you enter his apartment. Hongjoong shyly smiles back, taking the present you gave him in his hands and placing it on the table. Even though you are classmates, you donât talk often but you still think heâs a nice guy. After a good hour of random conversations between you two, Hongjoong heads finally towards the kitchen to take his birthday cake. Itâs when he turns back with it, ready to blow the candles, that you receive a text. You canât help but check your phone when you notice that itâs Mingi whoâs searching for you: he asked you out, and go with him to watch the new film that has been released at the cinema.
âOh my godâ you murmur, bringing your hand over your mouth. Despite your excitement, Hongjoongâs smile printed on his face quickly disappears as he notices youâre not giving attention to him anymore.
âWhatâ he huffs, looking at your phone as he could know what got your attention.
You stutter, unsure if you should accept Mingiâs proposal or just stay there with Hongjoong, despite youâd feel guilty⊠the new film seems too good, without counting Mingiâs presence that always makes your legs dizzy when youâre in front of him.
âUhm⊠Joong, i think i should go now⊠i forgot that i have to meet with Mingi laterâŠâ you mewl shyly, something in his stare scared you.
âYouâre not going anywhere, i want you to stay here with meâ He affirms, his cold eyes locked on yours.
âBut- but i seriously need to go Hongjoongâ youâre about to stand up, when he positions himself in front of you, his tight grip on your wrist making it almost hurt.
âI said, youâre not leaving.â he continues, his face a few inches away from yours, shivers of fear running down your spine from his intimidating stare.
âYou canât do anything to keep me here!â you bicker ânot even if youâd tie me upâ your body is immobilized as you see a smirk diving onto his mouth. He chuckles cockily.
âWanna try? Weâll se if you can escape.â
Even though you didnât exactly figured out the idea, your pride suddenly speak for themselves: âOh yeah? Wanna bet?â your reply got once again Hongjoong giggling.
âActually, i do wannaâ He smirks, his hands quickly moving on your waist, grabbing it harshly as he pushes you towards his bedroom. âGonna tie you all up, so youâre not gonna see that fuck boyâ Hongjoong throws you onto his bed, giving you a cold stare as he wants to make sure youâre not going to move. Your mouth hangs open when you see him taking a long pair of strings from his wardrobe, making you gulp as he approaches you while starting to knot them.
âStrip.â he stares down at you, enjoying the view of having your pretty face right in front of his hardening member. Your breath stops as you hear him, asking to yourself if you just misheard.
âI said fucking strip, you better do.â
You raise an eyebrow, arms crossed as you stare up at him. But as soon as he wraps his hand around your throat, raising your chin to force you to look right at his hooded eyes, you start unzipping your jeans.
âGood girl. Keep acting well and the knots will might not hurt.â he starts to tie your body with the strings, the knots positioned accurately to accentuate your curves. Once he helps you hiking up your top, Hongjoong canât take his eyes off of your tits, perfectly sized, he canât help but give them the proper attention by using the strings to help them pop out of your chest. He does a few steps backwards, admiring your body like it was a piece of art, his piece of art.
âGod, you look amazing like this.â he approaches you again, pushing you onto the mattress, making you arch your back as your arms are tied behind it. âAll naked and ready to be fucked.â Hongjoong chuckles in the crook of your neck, his hand squeezing your breast. He gets closer to your ear, whispering: âTell me baby, can you still escape from me?â he pulls back, his thighs on either your sides, smirking at you while teasing you by pulling the strings. âFuck- no, noâŠâ you murmur, breathing heavily.
âI could manhandle you right now and bury my hard cock inside you, you couldnât do anything about it, could you?â he provokes you.
âNoâŠâ you look at him through your eyelashes, a strange tension inside your stomach gets you the urge for him to touch you. âPlease, do it Joong.â
âOh? Since when do friends do things like this?â He genuinely seems enjoying himself on top of you, while youâre desperately begging for him.
âGosh, fuck it. I want you nowâŠâ you whine, arching more intensely your back from desperation.
âDonât you tryna ask me to stop, later then.â Hongjoong doesnât wait any longer before removing his clothes off of his body till you can see his hard dick standing straight on top of you.
âBe a good girl and take it, i know you canâ he unties the knot that keeps your legs together, spreading them right after to make room for himself. He gives you a smirk before pushing decisively his length into your soaking, needy cunt. He releases a pleased sigh, smiling with eyes closed, tongue sticking out as he feels your walls clenching around him.
âFuck! So deep- oh godâ you moan, hiccuping because of the overwhelming pleasure his cocks is making you feel. Your eyes roll in the back of your skull as he helplessly starts to fuck you dumb, his cockhead pressing against your g-spot perfectly at every thrust, giving them a blissing effect. The bedroom is filled with your moans and his grunts, mixed with the icky and squelching sounds your pumped pussy is making. His girth is slamming against your thigh gap, stuffing your hole like it was his only life purpose.
âFuck, youâre just as perfect as i always dreamed- taking my dick so well, you like it, donât you?â Hongjoong holds tightly at the string that crosses over your stomach, while the effort he puts into his fast movements are driving your mind blurry. You barely can elaborate any coherent thought, body and mind full with his cock, and youâd surely not even complain about that, fuck if it felt amazing.
âYes-! i l-love itâ you moan back, your muscles tensing as you feel your orgasm approaching your stomach.
âGonna cum, donât you? fuck iâm close too.â Hongjoong groans, his thrusts becoming faster but also sloppier. He squeezes his eyes and bites his lips, still canât believe that heâs finally fucking the girl of his dreams.
âFuck yeah! Keep going!â you yell out from pleasure, buring your back into the mattress, the fact that you canât move is torturing you yet you think itâs so damn hot. You both are a moaning mess once you reach your high, when you feel wet ropes shooting inside your body you bite your lower lip, loving the idea of being stuffed full of his cum.
Hongjoongâs body falls on yours after the exhausting stimulation, his face resting on your soft breast, inhaling deeply the air as he tries to catch his breath again. He cards his fingers through your sweaty hair once he looks up at you again, you try to smile with all the energy thatâs remaining in your body.
âHongjoong, iâll never try to leave you again, i promiseâ

From the kissing prompts: âwe didn't kiss each other good morning." with Poe please and thank you đ„șđ„č
PiĂšce de rĂšsistance
Poe Dameron x G!N Reader
Rating : M
Wordcount : 2300 (ish)
Warnings : Cutesy cute fluff, body painting (kinda I guess đ), lil bit of innuendo, kinda semi public make out, brief illusion/discussion on public sex (doesn't happen), rated M purely just for a lil sexual content.
Summary : You always kiss Poe good morning, but on the day you don't, he's going to make you pay the debt with interest.
A/N: yes I know X-Wing paint probably isn't safe to be on your skin. No I don't care. Let me live fanfiction how I like đ
@dailyreverie - I hope you enjoy this silly little story!
Un-beta'd so sorry for the mistakes
â-------
You squeak in shock, dropping your paintbrush to the ground as a pair of arms suddenly slip around your waist, relaxing when you hear a familiar chuckle from behind you.
"Good morning," Poe mumbles, burying his face in your neck as he cuddles you tightly against his chest.
"Good afternoon," you tease with a giggle, hugging his arms briefly, before you loosen his grip enough to turn and face him. His hair is still a ruffled mess, and there's stubble on his chin that tells he's thrown on some clothes and come straight to you from bed. Your heart flutters a little at the sweetness.
"You know you don't have to do this?" He gestures to his X-Wing that you'd been repainting for the morning, using whatever leftover paints you could find. After the latest battle the paintwork had taken some heavy damage, and since Poe didn't have time to do it himself, you had offered to fix it up for him, if only to stop his sad grimace everytime he looked at the ship. You were sure of two things in life, that Poe loved you, and that he might just love his ship a little more.
"I know but I'm enjoying it. It's kinda therapeutic," you shrug. "How's your day been? Well the bit you've been awake for," you tease with a grin.
Poe sighs, "not a great start to be honest. I woke up in an empty bed and realised we didn't kiss each other good morning."
He does a fairly good job of trying to look unhappy, which you are sure he probably is, at least a little bit, but there's a tiny twitch at the corner of his lips that tells you he's teasing.
"I seem to remember that's because you were still asleep. I think there's a word for people that do things when you're asleep," you wink at him and Poe gives a soft laugh, shaking his head.
"You should have woken me up," he complains with a pout. "I wouldn't have minded."
You snort with laughter.
"Now we both know that's not true! Have you ever met you when someone wakes you up? Maker, I'd rather face down the First Order alone."
"What are you talking about? I'm sure I'm absolutely delightful," Poe grins at you, clearly knowing full well he is not in any way delightful when his sleep is interrupted. Thankfully waking him wasn't something you had needed to do very often.
Whether it was for missions, strategy ideas he needed to note down, or more recently nightmares he couldn't stop, Poe was usually awake before you, no matter how early you woke up. Morning kisses had become somewhat of a routine, and if you were honest, you had missed that this morning. But Poe needed the sleep and so when you awoke to the pilot still dozing beside you, you had decided to allow him the rest. In fact, you had taken things a little further to make sure he would stay asleep for as long as he needed.
Poe had been working long into the night training new recruits, fixing resistance ships, trying to get them into some semblance of fighting condition again, and generally running himself into the ground. Almost every night for a week he had barely collapsed into bed before he was up again and back to it. The circles under his eyes had become worryingly dark, and no matter how many times you begged him to slow down and take a break, he insisted he couldn't.
So while the pilot was sleeping you had crept out of bed, and taken matters into your own hands to ensure he got a decent amount of sleep, at least for today.
Watching Poe fish out his watch from his pocket, the one he always puts on the nightstand when he comes to bed with his alarm set, you bite your lip nervously.
"I would have been awake but somehow I seem to have lost the battery from this. No idea how considering it would have had to come unscrewed, be removed and screw the back in again. Pretty impressive technology to do all that by itself without me noticing, don't you think?" He muses, holding it up between you.
"Poe," you start, ready to apologise and explain.
"I do feel better though now. I guess I really needed the extra couple of hours," he interupts with a soft smile. The worry dissipates just as quickly as it had coiled in your belly.
"You aren't mad?"
"Why would I be mad?" He gives you a purely boyish grin, raising an eyebrow. "Wait⊠you don't...you don't happen to know anything about this do you?"
You shake your head, "Nope. Absolutely nothing. Haven't touched it, haven't even seen it. When did you even get that? I've no idea what it is," you giggle, playing along.
Poe hums thoughtfully, regarding you with playful suspicion before he slides the temporarily useless watch back into his pocket.
"Well, if you do happen to see the battery anywhere, I would like it back, eventually."
You nod in confirmation, said battery suddenly feeling like it was burning a hole in your pocket. "Duly noted. I'll keep my eyes open,"
"Good," Poe nods, knowing he will find his watch magically fixed and back on the nightstand by tomorrow morning. "Now, I do need to address this kiss issue. You now owe me a kiss good morning, a kiss to say thank you for coming all the way across here to get the good morning kiss, a kiss to make up for missing the first kiss, and," he pauses, looking at his wrist to check his watch, before he remembers he isn't wearing it anymore. "I'm sure by the time we are done with those you'll owe me your afternoon missed you kiss."
"That's a lot of kisses all in one go." You sigh dramatically, giving him a serious look. "Do you think you can handle that all at once? I wouldn't want to overwhelm you."
Poe gives you a look of warning, one that tells you he'll be bringing that back up later, if only to prove how easily he can overwhelm you.
Taking your hand he all but drags you around the back of the X-Wing, where the noise of people coming and going seems more muted. It's nowhere near private, but it's about as private as you can get with the limited amount of time you have together.
"Up you go," he instructs, gesturing to the crates you had stacked into steps in order to reach the higher parts of the ship on this side. You blink at him in confusion, unsure if you've heard him correctly above the noise, but he simply gestures again for you to go up. Curiously you do as he asks, wondering what he's up to now.
Poe carefully follows until you reach the top. It isn't high but you notice Poe keeps one hand on your hip, just in case you do wobble.
When you reach the top he spins you to face him, before backing you up and pressing your back against the X-wing, pinning your body to the metal with his. Maker it sends heat flashing across your skin to have him so close. You realise this is why he wanted you up here, out of the way, unable to escape making the payment he demands.
"Kisses. Now."
"You're so cute when you're impatient," you giggle. Moving your hand to hold the side of his neck you pull his lips to yours, unable to wait any longer yourself.
You take your time with the kiss, kissing his top and bottom lip before you fully kiss him, your other hand slotting your fingers into the belt loops of his pants, holding him close. Poe pouts when you pull away before he's anywhere near enough of you.
"Good morning," you grin.
Before he has a chance to reply you press your lips to his a second time. This time you kiss him a little longer, but only long enough for him to run his tongue along your lower lip, seeking to deepen the kiss. You pull away with a devilish grin, ignoring his unimpressed look.
"I'm sorry you had to walk 60 yards to get your good morning kiss. Must be a terrible time for you with all those long steps across the yard," you tease sarcastically.
"Less talking, more paying kisses," Poe grumbles, his cheeks already flushed, his fingers digging into your hips as he grips you tightly. Along with Poe's long hours came the fact that you didn't have much awake time to spend together, and clearly it was starting to become a struggle for you both.
With a grin you drag his mouth back to yours, the kiss escalating faster this time, Poe's body pressing tighter against you. You kiss him hard this time, allowing your tongue to dip into his mouth, pulling a soft groan from the pilot who's turned to putty in your hands. You tangle your fingers in his curls and tug gently, causing him to nip your bottom lip in shock. He gets his revenge by slotting his thigh between your legs, making you gasp.
"Poe, people might see," you whimper against his mouth, desperately fighting back the urge to grind down against his leg.
"Let them see the consequences of missed kisses," he shrugs, staying exactly where he is. "Sooner you pay what's owed the sooner I might let you go."
You bite your lip, picking up on the might in his words. "What if I like being right here?"
Poe lets out a groan, pressing you harder against the ship. You're both breathing a little heavier now, your heart beating wildly in your chest.
"Don't tempt me. The extra hours sleep have given me a lot of energy," he whispers in your ear.
Oh well now you want nothing more than to tempt him, to drag his mouth to yours and let him devour you. But you know deep down now isn't the time, or the place.
Still, you can't quite quell the lustful thoughts that fill your mind.
"I owe you one more kiss," you offer temptingly.
"Trust me, I want to kiss you again so bad but if I do, I think the resistance is going to see a lot more of you than you want them to," Poe laughs softly, running his nose up the column of your neck as he holds you close. "Perhaps we need to keep a log and you can pay later?"
While you nod in agreement you still can't help stealing a quick kiss from him. It's nothing more than a fleeting brush of your lips against his, but Poe's smile lights up his face at the gesture. Both of you have missed the time to be close like this, to have the energy for this playfulness.
When he finally lets you step away from the ship, after another two quick kisses, he suddenly bursts out laughing. You frown, once more confused before he spins you around to see your own body print in the paint that has clearly not quite dried.
"Oh no!" You groan, reaching around to feel the wet paint on your back. Bringing your hand back around you see the black coating your fingers and let out a curse. "Shit. I'll have repaint it!"
"Leave it there," Poe grins, "It's very artistic." He tilts his head, as though admiring it like a painting. "Yeah, I like it. Especially this bit," he gestures to the perfect imprint of your ass against the ship.
"It looks a mess now," you sigh sadly. Your intention had been to make the ship look better, not worse.
"Actually, I was just thinking we could come back tonight and do your front on the other side," Poe shrugs. You feel heat creeping up your neck at his suggestion.
"Poe, you are not flying around with my body imprints on your ship!"
"Yeah," he nods entirely ignoring you, "maybe we could do them in a different colour? I'm sure we have some more orange paint laying around. Could paint all my favourite parts." He wriggles his eyebrows at you and you try not to laugh.
"Absolutely not!"
Poe sighs, resigned that you aren't enamoured by the idea of the entire resistance seeing you plastered against his ship, before he grins in an all too familiar, worrying way.
"What about if it was somewhere only I would see? Like the cockpit? Little bit of paint on some, select areas," he squeezes your ass making you jump with a squeak. "We could put it on the pilot's seat. Consider it interest for failing to pay your kisses on time."
You turn to stare at him as he wipes the paint he's gotten on himself from touching you, on the side of his pants, trying to work out if he's serious. He can't really want you to leave an imprint of your ass in his ship. But when he meets your gaze he's deadly serious and you burst into laughter. It's absolutely absurd that of all the tokens you could give him to travel with, that's what he wants.
"Is that a yes?" Poe laughs. "It'll be fun. I'll make it fun," he promises, his tone dropping to imply exactly the kind of fun he means.
You really should be considering how little the cockpit is, how uncomfortable it might be to squeeze you both in, how impractical his suggestion is, but the amusement is so bright in his eyes it obliterates anything else. You don't want to crush his little fantasy just yet, so you laugh with a nod.
"Alright Flyboy, you got a deal. Now go fetch me the paint so I can fix this." You gesture to the smudged mess of your imprint.
"One second," Poe pauses, staring at it hard "just committing it to memory."
You roll your eyes at him.
"If I push you off, I could say it was an accident," you threaten. Poe laughs looking down at the floor before back at you. He launches himself the crates, easily jumping down, landing gracefully on his feet and grinning up at you. He takes a dramatic bow, one that shouldn't be as cute as it is.
"By the way," he shouts as he disappears around the ship to retrieve your paint can, "you owe me another kiss for fetching you this."
Maker, at this rate you'll never get the job done

dating jane volturiđč
warnings: fluff, angst (?), implied smut
ÊÉ
※ she is extremely cold towards you at first.
※ she sends glares your way, makes snarky comments, makes an effort to avoid you unless itâs mandatory that sheâs in the same room as you.
※ that is until her brother finally talks some sense into her.
-âsister isnât this what you always wanted? that special bond with someone?â âi have that with you.â âthatâs⊠not what i was talking aboutâ
※ this would continue on for a few days until he finally says it upright to her.
- âsheâll leave you know.â ââŠâ âif you keep it up sheâll leave and you know it.â
※ suddenly sheâs not so avoidant anymore.
※ donât get me wrong, she still makes snarky comments every so often but she doesnât say them to hurt you⊠more to test you.
※ she wants to see how easy youâll give up and leave⊠and when you donât she is thoroughly surprised (and pleased, but sheâll never admit that to you)
※ she begins to seek you out and slowly (like VERY slowly) sheâll start to offer small sprouts of affection.
※ sheâll hold your hand occasionally, lean her head on your shoulder if youâre sat together, a small side hug. little stuff like that but you appreciate it nonetheless.
※ she is very dependent on validation (she seeks this in the kings the most, however now she seeks it a lot in you too)
※ once she is comfortable around you you see a new side of her. the side only reserved for her brother⊠and now you.
※ the first time you hear her giggle you were mesmerised, staring at her with parted lips.
※ you could only describe it to be angelic.
※ (if she couldâve blushed at the look you gave her she would have)
※ she knows that you can be doubtful of her feelings for you, typically after one of her meltdowns when sheâd attempt to push you away or her stoicism towards you around others and so sheâll subtly show you she cares through little gestures when you are alone.
※ reading to you, little love notes left in places she knows youâll find them, soft touches and kisses to your face. though she canât physically bring herself to apologise you just seem to know.
-âiâm-⊠I- â âI know, itâs okayâŠâ
※ bdjsbdksnsjs this is so sappy iâm sorry đ„čđ„čđ„čđ„č
※ sheâs not as soft with you ( i believe alec would be the one to be more teasing with his mate, whereas jane is much more to the point and serious) but you get used to it.
※ she makes it known that no one is to mess with you, and if they do well yeah theyâre dead.
※ tortured first but very much dead.
※ she takes great pride in protecting you. it gives her a purpose. but that doesnât mean she doesnât like to be coddled by you. she very much has those moments (who doesnât?).
※ sheâll sigh in content as you play with her hair, whine when you pull away from holding her, giggle as you give her soft kisses (omg this is adorable i cant)
※ the first time she sought you out and asked you to cuddle (albeit very quietly) you were shocked.
- âare you okay, jane?â âi- can you- can you hold me please?â âof course, come hereâ
※ she likes that she has someone other than her brother to talk to about more⊠intimate things.
※ itâs like having a bestie and a significant other all in one (the best type of relationship).
※ intimacy is very, very important to her. itâs not just a âoh yeah letâs fuck and then iâll go to workâ type thing itâs much more meaningful to her.
※ she has to be held/holding you for a while after, just to remind her you are there and youâre not going anywhere.
※ overall, she is a cutie she just has some severe trust issues (but you can fix thatâșïž)

thinking about my baby sakusa.. ( sakusa x gender neutral reader - reader is shorter than him)
âââââ ââ
ââ
â âââââ
i just know he owns so many high-quality body washes and shampoos. and they all smell greatđ„č
he always smells amazing, has a few different perfumes&colognes for different occasions and deodorants for practices and matches.
he seems like the type to enjoy fresh, clean smells. probably not into very strong scents.
he probably also does hair masks and uses natural oils to strengthen his hair. a really important step in his self-care.
talking of self-care, you always convince him to do masks with you. he says they don't work but either way, you have fun doing it with him and he gives in after a pout from you. (he's smitten.)
you once convinced him to do a mask painted like a cat and took so many photos of him like that because he just looked so cute (he didn't agree at all but was glad to see you so happy over something so small.)
he also doesn't know one of those is still your wallpaper.đ€
he often helps you choose a perfume for yourself too, he has great taste so you drag him to the shop forcefully
he likes smelling so many different sweet fragrances and being able to choose them for you (it makes him happy to know you trust his taste so much because smell is very important for him!!)
definitely has a curly hair routine to keep those beautiful curls in shape (even though he knows you'll ruin them the second he comes near you) (he'll forgive you for a kiss though, you're too cute not to)
he likes washing/brushing/braiding your hair. if he sees an appealing picture of a hairstyle on pinterest (yes he ABSOLUTELY has pinterest. you can not convince me otherwise.) he will definitely want to try it on you as long as you're comfortable
he's also pretty good at it so you mostly let him practice on your hair + you get free hair styling
if he's going away on a game you definitely exchange perfumes to miss each other less, he loves spraying some of your perfume on before a game for good luck

â„ïž Ranking Richonne
#4: We're The Ones Who Live (S7E08)
Now this right here is a love scene and it's solid gold. It was gold from the moment I first watched it and it is just as much today. I adore what this powerful moment establishes for Richonne. It speaks so strongly to their love, their interconnection, and their commitment to each other. And in this incredible performance, Danai and Andy again demonstrate that they are powerhouse talents. đđœ This scene also sets up Richonne's mantra, which years later, those special words between them have now evolved into a bigger blessing than I could have ever predicted. #TheOnesWhoLive đđđŸ...
I love that when speaking about this scene, Danai so beautifully described Michonne as coming to this conclusion that she is in this partnership fully with Rick - and so whether she could figure out how to fight back on her own or not, she decides she will only proceed if itâs with him. It has to be the two of them. It always has. đ„č
And I love that in this outstandingly acted scene from Danai and Andy, Michonne and Rick get to establish how much they know they are meant to be together and that they are the ones who can fight together and win, and itâs the only way they want it to be.Â
Itâs great how a scene that began with Rick alone and stooped down defeated in a cell, ends with Rick on his feet and enwrapped in the abundance of love and strength that only his soulmate could give him.
The significance of the scene starting with Rick having his hatchet on one side and the âcongrats on winning, but you still loseâ paper on the other - The two items clearly symbolize his two choices. He can continue to live under Neganâs oppression and âwinâ another day at life but still ultimately lose so much (the paper), or he can fight back (the hatchet) - and the choice is made very clear when the exact person he needs walks in the door. đ
I appreciate this scene taking place in a cell because one; Rick and Michonne first met in a prison and it just reminds me how far theyâve come two; in this moment, Rick feels like heâs in a mental prison as well, and when Michonne walks up she truly will be the one to help break him out. Sheâs key, as Andy said. đđœ
I love that when Michonne got the update on where Rick was from Carl she went to go see him - to both check on him as she's the most capable of taking care of him and also to really pour her heart out with what sheâs come to believe about the two of them and how they can overcome.
Michonne seems a little hesitant when she first arrives, especially cuz she knows what sheâs about to share, but I will forever adore that Rick walks closer to her and lets her know just how relieved he is to see her when he embraces her. And itâs the sweetest hug. đ€
They both needed that, and I love it so much. I appreciate how even tho Rick probably knows Michonne continued to go outside the walls and try things her way, what matters most to him is that sheâs safe and back here with him now.
You can just feel how connected they want to be after being so weighed down by this Negan era and seeing things differently. And this hug just movingly closes that gap between them.
And then Michonne breaks away from the hug and again itâs sad to see Rick have a moment of wondering if there might be some bad news coming or if she is pulling away. But just like the hug closes the gap, Michonne does just that with a beautiful monologue delivered perfectly by Danai. đđœ
Also Andy is such a revelation too cuz Rick literally doesnât say anything until the very end of the scene, and yet still his performance is so impactful as he hangs on her every word. The talent. đđœ
I like that Michonne starts by saying, "I found what I was looking for," cuz you think it might mean she found the savior outpost or whatever, but most of all she found the very important realization that she only wants to go forward if itâs with Rick by her side.
Then I love that she tells Rick she wanted to go with him on that run with Aaron. Of course thatâs the case - cuz magnets. But she says she couldnât since she had to go her way, as that independent warrior side was still tugging at her to find a way to fight back for her family, even if it meant doing it alone.
And yâall, Rickâs reaction when she says, "I had to go my way." đ His teary-eyed look low-key makes me tear up a bit. He really looks worried she might be pulling away for real.
Michonne says when she found what she was looking for she realized she didnât want it to be her way. And I LOVE the delivery of her saying âI wanted it to be ours. Me and you.â đ„č
It is genuinely moving and meaningful that Michonne, this woman so capable and competent on her own, realized she didnât want to do it on her own because she found someone who she is so one with. Now, she only wants to fight the fight if it's with him. #They'reMarriedMarriedY'all đ
And I love the 'me and you,' to clarify that this isnât about a general âourâ or ASZ as a whole. She wants it to be her and Rick, the love of her life.
And Rickâs reaction is so touching as he seems sincerely moved by her wanting it to be the "me and you" way. He also looks like he knows he wants exactly that too.
(Also this scene just makes me think this is how heâd react if he were hearing her vows - just touched to his core.)
Itâs nice that Michonne acknowledged Rick is right about the saviorsâ numbers and that theyâre even more outnumbered than they thought but then itâs powerful for her to say that even despite the odds her feelings havenât changed because so long as things are this way they have to try and fight it. Determined queen. đ
The way Michonne says, "Weâre still alive, Rick" with tears in her eyes makes me emotional. And I love that sheâs here reminding him of this, and also I just love any time they say each other's name. đ
Itâs deep to hear Michonne acknowledge how much she and Rick have been through that could have been their undoing. Michonne has been present to experience so many things with Rick, and while they are warriors, they also know that some of those experiences could have taken them out for good. But yet theyâre still standing, and they did make it out to the other side like the resilient fighters they are. Â
I also LOVE when she tells him, âWeâre still here, the two of us. Weâre still standing and weâre gonna keep standing.â Empowering. And again, Rickâs emotional reaction as he listens to this and truly lets it resonate, especially when she says 'the two of us.' My soul sheds tears seeing this whole scene, I must admit.
And it's nice knowing that, a few eps later, Rick will also tell Michonne he wants it to be the âtwo of usâ when he proposes reordering the world with her. đ
Itâs powerful that after the hellish lineup, Michonne can focus on one of the glimmers of light in their situation, and thatâs that they are both still here against all odds. Then Michonne passionately asks what they do with that and how they make that mean something.
Michonne tells him, "Weâre the ones who get things done." #TheGetThingsDoneGrimes. And she letâs Rick know he was the one who said that. And Michonne saying this with a finger on his chest is great.
And then she emphasizes this next part with a phrase that will become very important to them and us and the whole dang TWD franchise.
âWeâre the ones who live.â â„ïž
Ainât it the gospel truth forever. đđœ And Rick knows itâs gospel as he nods in agreement.
I'll always love that Michonne heard this line from Rick's wild (and excellently acted) rant in season 5, and instead of just dismissing Rick as being crazy, she remembered the line and saw its truth and power, respecting it enough to turn it into an uplifting mantra between her and him.
Like Rick was straight losing it in that 5.15 scene, but Michonne, who is always able to find the value in him and his words, heard Rick say, "We're the ones who live," and was like...
So then, in this cell, Michonne takes a vulnerable step that shows her trust with her man when she tells him, "thatâs why we have to fight." Michonne knows the last time she and Rick talked about fighting back, he wasnât on board with it - but she knows it has to be done, so she trusts that she can tell him again here.
She says they have to fight not for them but for others, and I adore that the first people she says they have to fight for are Judith and Carl. They have to fight for their kids. đ
For a mother and father to say this is so special because they know how risky this fight will be, but itâs what they're willing to do for their children.
Michonne mentions fighting for the communities, and then she says, "for all of us." It makes me think about how in 9.05 when Rick is closest to death he will envision Michonne again reminding him what he fights for - for her and "for all of us."
The way Michonne speaks to Rick in this cell scene is so sweet, passionate, vulnerable, and empowering. Then, in a call-to-arms, she tells him confidently that they can fight the saviors and find a way to beat them, saying with conviction, "We can do this."
Rick had this confidence when they first came to Hilltop in s6, but it was understandably shaken after the lineup losses. But now it's refreshing seeing Michonne so elegantly and invigoratingly remind him they are still nothing to play with, and they can win.
And then my absolute favorite part of the scene is after she tells him we can do this. She completes her speech to Rick by softly saying, "But...but only if we do this," with emphasis on it being her and Rick specifically. Perfection. đ„č
And the acting Danai does with her eyes, my goodness it just so powerfully communicates Michonneâs vulnerability and love for him.
This moment is such a big profession of love. It's her saying that everything in her feels they have to fight, but even then she only thinks the fight can be won if itâs the two of them, and sheâll only go forward if itâs with her husband by her side. Itâs just beautiful.
And Rick thinks that whole speech was beautiful and powerful too, y'all. Cuz he looks at her mesmerized (you know, the usual) and then he lets her know heâs on the same page and has come to the same conclusion.
I love that those magnets kick in, as he starts stepping even closer to her to repeat assuredly, "I know that now." What can I say? It gives me life. And I love the way Michonne's words always give Rick life too. There's a reason the actors referred to this scene as a love scene.
With all these Richonne scenes I've analyzed, some could think I must be describing them more lovey-dovey and intimate than they are - but no Richonne's love story really is just that epic of a love story. I'm just writing out what I see on my screen. đđđœ
Then there is something so so precious about the way Michonneâs eyes fill with tears when Rick lets her know he is fully with her on this and ready to fight back together. Itâs such a confirmation that she found the right one, the one who really will fight for her and with her.
It also really shows this is a woman who trusts she can be her barest self with her man. And whenever Michonne is vulnerable with him like this, Rick has always always handled being handed this part of her heart with so much care.
I love that they can always get on the same page and this is Rick saying he knows they have to fight but also he knows that he has to go forward with her. Heâs co-signing that he also wants it to be the 'Rick and Michonne way' from here on out. And they really do honor operating the 'Rick and Michonne way' moving forward the rest of this series.
Michonne's influence is a major reason why Rick got active again and agreed to get this war started with Negan. She was paramount in getting him to this space because she built him back up like only she could. Again, to reiterate Andy's words - Michonne is key.
I also love that Rick has proven time and time again that he'll go to war for Michonne. I don't care if you're the governor, negan, or the biggest military left in the world, it's like TWD said...
...Rick and Michonne would "set the world on fire for each other."đ„
(side note: I'm willing to bet that if Michonne somehow gets to meet any of the friends Rick's made while he was away in TOWL, those friends are going to immediately understand why this man kept risking it all to get back to his beautiful wife lol. Like even from Michonne's walk alone, they're going to know Rick was pining over the baddest chick in the game. đđœââïž Oh and same for anyone who traveled with Michonne and gets to meet Rick. They gon' get why she was searching far and wide for her fine husband and the devoted father of her children. I'm just saying.đ)
Upon hearing Rick, her true love, agree with her and say he now knows they have to fight back together, Michonne has this second of seeming almost surprised that heâs so fully on board now, and then she seems so relieved and so moved. So she beautifully smiles with tears in her eyes as she embraces him.
It moves me to no end that Michonne knows she'll be held in this relationship, both literally and figuratively by this man who truly views her as more valuable than gold and will always fight for her.
And it also eternally warms my heart that Rick knows he will never have to go it alone because he has this woman who is always by his side to love and uplift him no matter what. đđœđ„č
And then this leads to my other favorite part of the scene...you already know. đ I adore that they complete the moment with such a passionate kiss.
The way they just magnetically gravitate toward each other and again get lost in each other, with him tightly wrapping his arms around her and her hands in his hair, and just every part of it is great. đđœ. I wish the lighting was a bit brighter cuz like I can see it but...
However, even with the dimmer lighting, you can still see and feel the passion between them shining through. đ
What an absolutely gorgeous scene that speaks to the power of Richonne. For two characters who had been operating like a package deal for seasons, I love that this gave them a moment to vocalize that thatâs the only way they want it to be. Me and you.
In this scene, a huge decision was made for the whole group and the whole series because Richonne agreed it was time to fight back, and I love that they have each other to instill this type of love, strength, and call to arms. đđœ
When I think of why Richonne is perfection, this is one of the first scenes that comes to mind because what Michonne and Rick both convey in this scene is that they are really and truly soulmates meant to love, fight, and take on every part of life together.
Richonne really is the embodiment of "us against the world," and I love that they know it too. đ
