"Seriously Natsu? Again?! "

Lucy's exasperated voice echoed through the stairwell of the couple's duplex after returning home from a trip to the local physician's appointment and some errands. Can't believe we're having this conversation again. Little did the other nearby tenants and neighbors know that this wasn't the first time that the two disagreed over his sometimes -overprotective nature instincts or the level of " safety precautions" for the sake of his mate's well being.

Bloody Hell ...

"I'm not a porcelain doll, y' know!" The wizard grumbled, arms crossing over her chest. "I mean, really!"

"Mhmmm." Nastu merely hummed in response with a lazy smirk illuminating those sage eyes much to her chagrin.

"Are you even listening to me right now?"

"Course I am , beautiful" came his reply without missing a beat. "But damn." Difficult to miss the hint of a flirtatious purr in the fire wizard's voice or how his eyes swept over his mates form in apprecation that sent her pulse jumping into a frenzy . "Do you know what seeing ya' all flustered like this does to me? I mean you're even more adorable, gorgeous, and irresistible than you already are right now. Kissable too."

"Well, th-thank you" Lucy mumbled, heat rising and pooling in her cheeks. God knows how she couldn't but be a little subconscious over the effect of his natural charms despite being irritated. "But I don't think no's really a good time for flirting."

"Aw who says?" Natsu challenged with a throaty chuckle. Agree to disagree, princess ." Notto mention the gleam of mirth dancing in his eyes or the languidly smooth empathis on one of her beloved nicknames that he knew turned her knees to jellow .

Cocky bastard..

And damn were those supple hands currently settled on the curve of the summoner 's waist distracting in all the best possible ways.

"This couldn't be a more perfect time for flirting…"

One of the dragon slayer's hands was reaching to drag the blonde's locks through his fingertips. and Holy Hell did that blush deepen all thanks to that shit-eating of his and the way he continued to play with her hair .

Fuck ... there he goes again.

"Don't you think,Luce?" He finished, twirling, and tucking a stray tendril behind her ear as if to puncture his point further.

Damn it...

God damn did all those calculated ministrations kickstart the flustered girls heart into overdrive .

Again. So hard to focus right now. He 's that good…

As if that soft gasp tha wasn't t slipped out of her mouth wan't already enough. And pretty clear that noise undetected by Natsu if the way his sage eyes were glittering like coals was any indication.

"Someone' s flustered" His words came out as infuriatingly goading and yet velvety at the same time. " But I know you're into this as much as I am…. and you're falling prey to my charms." Natsu let his thumb lightly graze along the contour of her cheek. "Oh yeah. I can tell. Your heart's racing and everything." Now the fire dragon slayer wizard's forehead was mere inches from Lucy's. All that was needed for for her heart rate to skyrocket for the third time just as he so brazenly pointed out.

"Nastu..." the blonde started only for the words to die in her throat when her breath hitched from Natsu 's lips brushing against hers.

Shit...

"Are...you…trying…to…distract...me?" Was what she finally managed to force out, desperate longing seeping into her breathy tone.

"Me? Never." Natsu denied, the soft vibrations of his smoky timbre against her lips sending a tingle rippling across all those nerves. "Just having a little fun, is all."

"You are?"

"And I succeeded!"

Wait...what!?

Nastu was pulling back ever so slightly from Lucy without so much as a warning. God did that unwelcome disruption not fly so well with the mage who moaned in protest.

That pompous little...

"So that entailed luring your your mate in?" She eventually objected with a sour glare at her pompous -ass-of boyfriend." And then leaving her hanging? Pretty sure that classifies as some kind of entrapment! Just how much of a shameless flirt can you be?!"

"Opps.. guess you're not a happy camper right now," Natsu snickered, flashing her an awfully impish grin as if he were caught red-handed like a delinquent high school student drinking in class. "I mean I'm definitely a 'shameless flirt 'when it comes to you but I'm not going to leave you out to dry like some emotionally or romantically dead-beat loser. Knew exactly what I was doing and can't get over how cute my girl is when she's all flustered. No need to worry though." He gave a sly-yet-rougish wink that nearly left the summoner 'a heart stuttering.

Not that I'm going to tell him that.

"I promise to deliver on that promise of plenty of kisses and affection that we both crave so much. You'll see!"

"I... you ... y-you're such an ass!" Lucy stammered, entire face flushing an deeper shade of crimson. "Did you even hear what I said about... God damn it!"

"You mean about you not being made out porcelain?" Natsu was quick to supply, automatically clueing in. "Yes Luce, I did." His voice was all business now but more patient than cross. "And you're definitely right but that busted ankle of yours might as well be with how fragile it is right now. That's what having a sprained ankle means. A finger pointed down at Lucy 's sandal -clad foot with a tensure bandage .

"And why I need to carry ya'. Either way, you wanna get upstairs, right?"

"Well gee thank you for stating the obvious and what everyone already knows about sprained ankles." Lucy huffed, rolling her eyes. "And of course, I wanna get up upstairs but why is carrying me all the way up and down even necessary? You already gave me a piggyback to the clinic for God's sake! Not to mention pushing me around on a god damn platform cart while we were shopping for medicine and other supplies at the pharmacy without letting me set foot on the ground even once!

"Both were necessary to keep you from falling again." Natsu reasoned, still not budging on the matter; even when in the process of methodically removing the key holder's shoes. "Plus, I love having ya' in my arms and that cart had lots of room for you to comfortably stretch out on. Pretty practical if you ask me."

"More like total overkill!" Lucy tossed back, vein ticking above her eye. "Anyway, I might not be as fast, but can still definitely make my way up and down the stairs with a walking assist! Can't you just let me try at least?!"

"No can do, sweetheart," Natsu rebutted with a shake of his head. Good lord it was astounding how this extremely persistent man was able to unwittingly shoot down all of her ambitions for any kind of semi-independent mobility. and yet be so damn patient and even-tempered at the same time. "Can't risk you missing a step and taking another tumble down these stairs."

"Ugh...Oh My God- you're unbelievable!" Lucy couldn't help but yell; throwing her hands up in ggravation. which was met with an infuriating laugh of amusement from a certain pyro .

"The most unbelievable of them all.! Now quit complainin' relax and enjoy the ride up to our apartment!"

"Natsuuuu!"

Such a debate became a common occurrence in the Dragneel-Heartfilia household over the week with neither Natsu or visiting friends— Celestial spirits included- letting Lucy out of their sight or use stairs by herself. The extremely disgruntled mage would often gripe about her "stupid over-protective boyfriend and friends" even though ;despite secretly melting from being in the dragonslayer's arms all the time along with the rest of his "TLC." Not so much with Ezra, however, who'd often insist on personally escorting Lucy up and down the stairs herself ;when it wasn't by Natsu, Happy or anyone else.

My God is that woman overly cautious! It's beyond irritating!

Other than that, one minor pet peeve, Lucy supposed she couldn't really complain too much. Not when she was blessed with spending quality time with the love of her life and phomoneal comrades/friends who were all more than willing to keep her company. Well, okay save for that one time involving a nonsensical squabble about ailment remedies between Natsu and Gray one day.

"I'm telling you— these will help Lucy feel better!" Natsu insisted, dumping a paper bag of what could be described as god-awful-Scotch-covered-eye-sores-with-strings-attached on the counter. "See?" A hand patted the side of the misshapen bundle of items.

Uh...

Lucy meanwhile, couldn't help but steal a furtive glance of disbelief from her coral-haired soulmate; who was currently sniffing the unsightly abominations with an particularly intense focus for some inexplicable reason.

"The hell are ya' doing , charcoal-brains?!" Gray demanded, voice coming out in a mixture of incomprehension and disdain. "And what even are those things?"

"Inspecting these babies for germs," Natsu replied with an eye roll as if the answer was the most obvious in the world. "Duh! What else would I be doing'? Can't have em' infecting Lucy. And they're a supposed to be a special kind of talisman for health and good luck. Even an ice overrated snowcone like you should know that. Basically Scotch-taped covered piles of leaves and Vic patches wrapped in tissue paper. If I hang these around the apartment, then they should do wonders for Luce's health."

"You know by gradually sucking the virus toxins from her body until she's better," he tacked on with an 'exuberant grin. "Or so I heard from Nab, Maco, and Wakaba. Dudes bought entire boxes full for 20 jewel a piece from a pop-up vendor of some merchant in the market. The lady swears by them and everything. Either way, aren't they awesome?! Right, Luce? His head turned towards Lucy. "Bet you'll be better in no time!"

"I ...uh... " The blonde sputtered, still too bewildered for words." I don't…."

"Oh Good God," Erza muttered, smacking a palm against her forehead. "Of all the—-Natsu, I highly doubt those would be effective in treating Lucy's illness."

"Huh? Why wouldn't they be?"

"Well..."

"Oh jeez...How can anyone be this dense?"

Gray was shooting out of his seat at the table with an exasperated noise. "Step aside fire boy, I'll find Lucy something. Her fridge should have some suitable ingredients." A hand pulled opened the door of the fridge before rummaging around inside much to Lucy's confusion Course why a random assortment of food in the form of onions and ginger Along with some lemons were being cleared out was anyone's guess.

"Onions, lemons and ginger" The ice wizard announced, sounding tremendously pleased with himself. "Should be just what the doctor ordered for Lucy. I'm gonna chop these up and boil em' with some cinnamon in a tea for her."

Wha? Is he for real?!

"Wait….I'm sorry you want me to drink what now?"

Lucy 's brain short circuited with an owlish blink at the same time that some revolted noises could be heard from the rest of Team Natsu. More specifically Salamander 's gagging and Erza nearly vomiting in her mouth.

"Well at least Lucy gets it" Gray voiced aloud to no one in particular with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. "Now to find a knife and boil some water for the tea."

"Yo, you out of your mind, ice-dick?" Natsu demanded, more than a tad incredulous. "It's pretty obvious she doesn't want what you're selling and can't say I blame her." His eyes narrowed in revulsion with a flash of exposed canines poking through his lips. "That kind of 'tea 'sounds disgusting."

Just for Natsu's striking emerald eyes to immediately soften when landing on Lucy.

"Don't worry Luce," He soothed, his voice lifting to a sympathetic coo. "I'll protect ya' from that big meanie and his stupid ".

" Uh Yeah, please do," Lucy beseeched, words trembling slightly. Honest to God that the astral almost shuddered at the prospect of such a horrendous-tasting tea invading her tastebuds. "I don't even want a sip of that stuff."

"And Why would any sane person expect you to? Not me or Ezra. Can't say the same about droopy eyes here." Natsu tossed a pointed glare at Gray which was readily met with a raised middle finger. "You really that hell bent on brewing whatever nasty crap you call tea, buddy? Then be our guest and drink it yourself. But keep it away from Lucy and out of the kitchen. We don't need that shit stinking up the place."

"Tch— shows what you know" came Gray's disparaging scoff by way of a reply. "Pretty sure you wouldn't know a proper health remedy was if it hit you in the face."

Uh-oh ...

Gray's words really seemed to touch a nerve judging by Natsu's offended growl.

"The hell is that supposed to mean, stripper?" He sniped, vein throbbing in his forehead " What? Are ya really looking' to piss me off or somethin'?"

"Yeah, just maybe I am!" Gray countered with salty heat and matching his rival glare for glare. "You want to cry about it? And you heard what I said. God ... no wonder Lucy's still sick what with your clueless ass and all failing to take care of her.."

"You take that back asshole!" Natsu seethed, foaming rabidly at the mouth. Or rather smoke circumventing from his nose and mouth what with him being a fire dragon demon and "literal hothead "and all.

"Make Me—ow!"

The rest of whatever Gray was trying to say was cut off by a flying "talisman" that just struck him point blank in the face.

"Hey!" He snapped, grudgingly rubbing his temple with a hand." The hell was that for, ya damned fire hazard?!"

"What do ya think, dumbass ?" Natsu flung back without missing a beat. "You got some nerve….insultin 'a dragon's pride like that!"

"Yeah? So what?"

"Seriously?! You pretty much implied I don't know how to take care of my own mate!"

"Yes and?"

Uh-oh...

"And it was a total dick move, dingus! That's what! Where's your sense of common decency!?"

"Wasted on incompetent dipshits like you, apparently!"

"What was that, frosty?!"

"You heard me "

"That's it you, walking freezer burn! Them's fighting words!"

"Oh yeah? Bring it flame-bitch!"

"Take this!"

Oh god ….

The next thing anyone knew were that that the bickering rivals were launchimg projectiles—aka "Talismans" at each other much to her dismay.

No...

"No fighting in our kitchen!" Lucy squeaked; cadence raised to a higher pitch. " You could really break something! So stop!" The afflicted girl couldn't help but watch with alarmed eyes when her desperate pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears. Something always gets completely wrecked or destroyed when these two butt heads over anything!

Seriously, who could forget all the destruction those two left in their wake or millions of jewel racked in subsequent, property damage during their last scuffle? Like say the accidental beheading and subsequent toppling of that statue which also happened in Hargeon's beloved town founder for instance? Not to mention the scorched garden of the mayor's prized purple and white orchids. Not Lucy, that's for sure.

I really don't want them breaking anything….

Erza meanwhile. was practically frothing at the mouth from all that pent-up rage in a very-if-not-entirely-proverbial sense of the word.

"Good God—those two!" The re-equip mage ranted, vein pulsing right above her brow. "Always butting heads over one asinine matter or another! The hell is wrong with them anyways? Either way, enough is enough! I really should... no probably best not... Oh screw it!"

Erza was on the other wizards in a flash, banging their heads together with an audible crack. And good lord who could miss the stunned noises of pain that simultaneously cirumented their throats.

"OW!" Natsu and Gray whimpered in unison. "That really hurt ,Erza!"

"Yeah!?" Erza barked . "Well maybe you two dolts should've thought of that before you started acting juvenile and making a mess! I mean take you for instance, Gray! Disrespecting a dragonslayer's pride was a garbage move just as Natsu pointed out! Haven't both Master and UR taught you more sense than that? Oh, and let's not forget you doubting Natsu 's ability to effectively tend to care for Lucy despite doing more than a standup job so far for the most part! No wonder he's offended!"

"Hey, it's not my fault if the dude can't take a joke," Gray grumbled, defensive resentment leaking into his tone. "Or that he has a ridiculously overinflated and fragile ego."

"Neither helpful or okay, Gray!"

"Yeah, so there dickwad!" Natsu cut in with his tongue shooting out for good measure. "See?"

"Oh yeah... you really..."

"Oh no you don't!" Erza whirled on Natsu who shrank under the heat of her glare with another whimper. "And yes, I'm talking about you Natsu Ignatius Dragneel! Don't think for a minute that you're getting out of this scott- free!""

Oh shit ... Erza just used Natsu's full name…. She must mean business.

"What? Me, really?" Nastu spluttered, hands still raised in defense as if fend the intimating scarlet woman off. "What did I even do anyway?"

"Hmm, what did you do?" Erza questioned, rolling her eyes. Oh, and her words were just laced/ dripping/ trickling/ with just the right amount of pointed sarcasm. "Care to take a wild guess? How about those godawful abominations you call talismans for one? Look at them! Anyone can tell these are a sham! I mean really, Natsu! The hell were you thinking?! Normally, you're much better at sussing out onpossible scams and cons. How could you let yourself be duped out of your hard -earned money like that?"

"Aw- come on!" Natsu bleated "Didn't mean to, honest! All I wanted was to help Luce recover more quickly and honestly thought these things would help. That's all! I won't buy any more—swear to God! Just please don't bust my balls, Erza! I need those!

"Calm down. I'm not going to do that. It's easy to tell your intentions were pure regardless which is most important."

"Really? Thank you, you kind, merciful, woman!"

"Yes, yes,.. that's all fine and good," Erza chuckled in amusement with a light shake of her head as a response .

"Now about those talismans. They are a problem. " Erza's voice fell into a more sober tone with a hand cupping her chin in thought. "Word on the street is that Fiore is being targeted by a fraudulent band of thieves and con artists. Popping up in various towns and cities with those "vendors", posing as legitimate shop keepers and merchants —that sort of thing. and from what I've heard , these people are trying pass off bogus goods as authentic souvenirs."

"So, ya think there's some kind of link between those and what I bought?" Natsu quickly caught on matter-of-factly. "As in all that crappy stuff you mentioned ?"

"Yes, precisely that. I'm sure we can all agree that how poor unassuming customers are being ripped off by those criminals just isn't right. Something must be done."

"Okay—like what?"

"Helping folks of Magnolia getting their money back for one —yours included. And there's also the matter of filing a report with the magic reinforcement unit and other authorities . They'd want to be informed of the culprits' criminal activity ASAP. In fact, why don't the two of us go now?"

"What? Ya' mean that you actually want us to leave right now?!"

Natsu visibly balked at Erza's suggestion as if being ordered to watch Ichyia perform a strip tease in nothing but a pair of - sparkly -Leather, assless chaps.

"I.. don't…"

"Yes, I figured that would be the most efficient course of option" Erza reasoned, lifting a questioning brow at his response. "Why? Is there a problem?"

"Uh yeah..., a big one!" Natsu protested with a vigorous nod. " Going now would mean leaving Luce's side" His whole tone shifted into a whine. "Especially when she's still not feeling 100% or if it means being without her in my arms for too long. And right now, looking after Lucy and being able to spend time with her is what's most important. Not to mention what I want the most! Please… just let me take good care of my mate and queen and hold her! That too much ask?"

"No, and your feelings are understandable. That in mind, it would still be unethical to turn a blind eye to petty crimes at the expense of innocent civilians."

"Yeah, of course. But it's just…."

Sheesh… Natsu's being a bit of a drama king right now. I mean I love the guy and its always great having him around for the most part despite the fact that he sometimes gets on nerves. Completely normal for all couples even ones like us but that's besides the point. Anyways, he's being super sweet and everything but there's no need for him to blow a gasket when they would only be gone for a couple hours at most. Plus Erza's right about putting a stop to those jerks and getting those other people compensated. and it's not like I won't be okay without them or by myself a for little bit...

"Hey guys," Lucy finally spoke up after a few minutes, drawing their focus of everyone's eyes back on her. "Not that your efforts and spending time with me aren't appreciated, but pretty sure I'll be fine on my own for a little while if you want to report those people and get your money back." No real heat to her words though.

"Hmm... don't think that's a good idea, "sweetheart." Came Natsu's reply, his timbre pitched soft; though she didn't miss the pleading note in his words. "You're still not in the best shape right now. Like Mavis knows I don't really feel comfortable leaving you alone to fend for yourself right now, y' know? I mean what if ya' end up barfin' with your head over a toilet bowl or falling again?"

Not really that much of an nasty shock to say the least especially seeing how the couple were practically inseparable ever since that hazardous incident at the party.

"Don't be too surprised if Natsu's refuses to leave your side." Levy's kind voice from a recent lacrima video call echoed inside Lucy's head "or even let out of his sight-or sense range for that matter. You remember learning about how dragon slayers, demon's and hybrids are essentially hardwired to be extremely protective and territorial of their bonded, right? Well those already -fierce instincts are get an even bigger boost during certain times... like say when they're in heat . Not to mention when their soulmates are sick, injured or both in your case. In any case, Natsu's no exception especially with how you're one of the people he's been most protective of even before you two were officially an item node as we all know. Anyways, be prepared for him wanting to remain extra close to you and special attention. Think plenty of affection and physical contact like snuggling, kisses, doting on you —things like that which is always a bonus. And pretty sure he is going to hoard you. I mean the dude going isn't gonna take kindly to anyone he feels is trying to steal/snatch you away from him. Gajeels the same way. It's not so bad though."

Levy was right. Not that I'm complaining...

"We really should get going Natsu," Erza chimed in after a few minutes. The sooner these matters are sorted out the better. Either way, it shouldn't take us too long-a few hours tops."

"Yeah, I know..." Natsu replied , an unmistakable flicker of reluctance in his eyes. "But…I still don't want to leave Lucy right now…." Sage fully connected with honey-brown as a hand was reaching to gently caress Lucy's cheek. And Mavis knows she couldn't help but naturally lean into the warmth of his touch or the content smile forming on her lips.

"Pretty sure I made my reasons clear anyway."

"Yes, but…"

"Hey bro," Gray piped in —not unkindly this time."I can easily hold the fort down and keep Lucy company while you guys are out."

"Wow…Really?"

Natsu instantly seemed to perk up.

"Yeah, I'd be more than happy to. Plus, we can summon one of her spirits and Happy to help for a fun but chill time. That way, you can trust that your girl is in capable hands and won't be bored."

"Good point!" Natsu rhapsodized, bumping his fist with Gray's. "Thanks, bro!"

"Yes, I agree" Ezra concurred, an approving smile crossing her lips. "That's very gracious and cordial of you. Way to be a great friend."

"That's what I'm here for and my pleasure, Natsu."

"Guess you're not so bad after all"

"Course' not. I am pretty awesome, after all."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes... So, what about it, Luce?" Natsu went on to inquire, far more chipper now. " You gonna to be okay with Gray and some of the others taking over for a bit while Erza and me are out ?"

"Yeah Lucy, what he said," Gray followed up with a cordial smile of his own. . "You and me can kick it and chill for a little while. Maybe even break into the candy stash and watch movies with everyone."

"Sure!" Lucy chirped, heart leaping in excitement from the prospect of a low-key but fun kickback with splendid company. "And Natsu and Erza can, join when they get back from their errands, right?"

"Yup! Now here," Natsu instructed, pushing a glass of water on the table towards her." "Drink some more of your water. Anyways, Erza and I can bring back some goodies from the local bakery after too,. You good with that ,Erza?" He tossed a hopeful glance the armour- clad wizard's way.

"Sure—sounds good to me!" Erza jumped on board, eyes lighting up with delight. A trip to the bakery would be most excellent. All those delicious confections, yummy treats like gourmet cupcakes and strawberry shortcake. Ooooooh." The scarlet woman's hands clapped together in giddy enthusiasm.. "I can practically taste it now —so divine!"

"Yeah but think about lava- brains though" Gray quipped without missing a beat. "What are the odds he'll devour whatever he doesn't give or share with Lucy?"

"Ohhhh valid point" Erza echoed, lips pulling up into / a smirk. I wouldn't put it past him to cleanin out half of the bakery's front counter. Now why don't we get a friendly little wager started? Is 20 jewel acceptable?"

"Sure. I'm game."

"Ooh... why not make it ...30?" Lucy joined in with a light giggle. "I mean what's to say he won't clean out most of the shops and the other desert shops in town?"

"Hey! Not cool!" Natsu objected, though such sour words were belied by the glimmer of mirth in his shamrock eyes. "Makin' bets about whether or not I'll stockpile deserts and shit! I mean talk about takin' cheap shots at your leader! I am Salamander of Fairytail, damn it! Alpha drake of the dragon nest, and a Mighty and fierce dragonslayer -demon hybrid! I deserve your respect and praise!"

"Oh?" Erza spurred him on, clearly entertained by the salamander's theatrics. " Is that a fact?"

"Damn right it is!"

"And you, Luce!" Natsu bemoaned with extra melodramatic flair. "Even my own precious soulmate is betting against me and egging' the other two on?" Impossible not to notice how Natsu's hand clapped over the heart in a display of feigned offence. "How you' wound me, woman!"

"Opps," Lucy uttered, a teasing lilt to her words. "My bad. Are they really that wrong though?"

"Ooh, you got me there!" Natsu jibed s, lips breaking into a cheek into a cheeky grin agrin that set Lucy 's heart all pit-patter. "Touché and shit."

"Just as I suspected."

"Yeah, I figured!" Natsu laughed, mussing her hair with one hand. "Anyway, how about Erza and me pick up some dumplings on the way home? Maybe a Party pack with plenty for everyone to share? We can get some other things for dinner too— Our treat!"

"Ooh yes please!" Lucy crowed, mouth practically watering from the zesty-flavored-packed dumplings from one of many Magnolia's local fusion joints. "Can some be fried? And be filled with beef? Maybe tandoori chicken and cheese too? And could I have 3 or 4?"

"Yeah, sure." Natsu agreed, goodnaturedly as always. "Whatever you want. You really must be cravin that stuff today, huh?" And God she couldn't help how her heart stuttered at the way her grin morphed into a another kind of smile entirely; More subtle, tremendously fond, even. "Normally I'm the one askin' for all this different kind of food. Good to know that you have great taste and that I'm rubbing off on you more and more each day though."

" Uh, yeah… thanks. Though you don't think it's a bit much?" Lucy questioned, now glancing up at her boyfriend with a smidge of tentativeness. She couldn't help but second-guess her request especially seeing how it was partially driven by voracious craving for carbs. "Cuz I'm wondering if that many dumplings is a tad too many now."

Maybe something healthier would be better...

"What? Are you kidding?" Natsu refuted, bursting into stunned laughter . "Of course it isn't. Why would it be?"

"Well, when you put it that way" Lucy resounded in agreement, the corner of her lips twitching into a sheepish grin over how silly I'm being. "Guess I was overthinking it just a little."

"See?" The dragonslayer pointed out, punctuated by a light tap on the tip of the blonde's nose with his finger. "Now you're getting it! And hey, look at it this way! Whatever my princess and queen wants, she gets."

"Well, who am I argue to with that? Anyways, you guys heading out now?"

"Yeah," Natsu sighed, a touch of reluctance seeping back into his gravelly timbre. "Guess we oughtaa . Really don't like the idea of leaving your side though there are some things to take care of. And besides the sooner we leave, the sooner I can get back to you."

How the summoner's heart gave a little thump at those touching words that reached her ears!

"What you're saying is definitely true" Lucy breathed, finding herself adrift in those arresting eyes of his. Onyx with flecks of jade that always seemed to shine in just the right angle of sunlight on bright days. And did she mention the sensation of Natsu's fingertips brushing her cheek, the tucking a stray lock of blonde hair behind her ear? How it all sent sparks racing through her nerves! "And I can't wait for you to get home so that I can be in your arms again too."

"Mhmm yeah" Natsu hummed in agreement., stroking along the side of her temple now. "I'm definitely looking forward to all that too. Also cuddling with ya' on the couch of course. Should be great! Anyway, make sure to take it easy and stay hydrated, okay? And don't forget Erza and I are one just one call away if you need anything."

"Okay, Thanks Natsu."

"Anytime," he rumbled with that same affectionate smile that always melted her heart . "See you soon, Luce." Lips pressed a light kiss atop the celestial mage's crown with a hand palming the side of her head. God such a rush cozy seeping through her bones and warming her soul to the core.

I truly love him and that'll never change..

"Yeah, likewise.. Hurry back, okay?."

" You know I will."

"That I do".

A/N: All right that's Chapter: 5 ,folks! Apologies for the delay again! As stated previously, both my beta and I have been busy for different reasons related to differing schedules, life circumstances, responsibilities, appointments, hobbies and a somewhat more active social life among other things (with increasing vaccination rates unless everything goes south again). Not that this has necessarily prevented me from writing or working on my wips but there's also been days where I haven't been feeling well, a case of writers block or there simply just not being enough hours in a day to accomplish everything I want for whichever reason lol. In any case, this chapter is posted now and I'm trying to get back into working on writing projects more often. So that's that at least.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter! Once again, please don't hesitate to drop a comment/review and share. Check out the rest of my writing and stay tuned for new projects along with updates to my other WIPS too! ((Corresponding links are above in this post, bio and navigation bar if reading this on tumblr. Also in my FF and A03 profiles.) All right. that's all I have to say for now.

When his Blood Singer Moves to Town

Summary: Y/N has been friends with the Cullen’s since she moved to town, and has had less than platonic feelings for Edward for just as long. When Bella moves to town and Y/N finds out that she’s Edward’s blood singer, she worries she’s at risk of losing her best friend and the person she’s in love with. But after a trip to Alaska, Edward reassures her that will never happen.

As cliche as it sounded, I’d had a terrible feeling in my gut when I’d woken up this morning. I didn’t know why, but my instincts were screaming at me to pull the covers over my head and go back to sleep. But alas, I didn’t listen, figuring it was just Monday blues. So I’d gotten dressed, crammed a cereal bar down my throat and waited for my best friend to pick me up like he did every morning. When he arrived, my mood lifted a little, as it always did whenever I was around him, but the feeling still lingered.

‘What’s the matter, honey?’ Edward asked as I fastened my seatbelt after greeting Emmett and Rose who were sat in the back seats.

‘I don’t know.’ I admitted, knowing it would be pointless to lie to someone who could literally read my mind, ‘I’ve just had a really bad feeling of dread since I woke up this morning.’

‘Don’t worry, I’m sure it’s nothing.’ Edward said, giving me a comforting smile that made my heart skip a beat in my chest. 

‘He’s right. This is Forks, what’s the worst that could happen?’ Rose teased, trying to lift the somber mood that had settled over the car.

‘You’re right.’ I agreed, a small but genuine smile settling over my face. It was probably nothing.

//

I was in French first period with Jasper, Alice and Edward when the news reached us. A new girl had started today, Isabella Swan, though according to Ed, she’d been correcting everyone so far and asking them to call her Bella. I’d shrugged, not really that interested, but I’d felt a little sympathy for the girl starting half way through junior year in a small town— she’d be the talk of the school for the rest of the week at least. I didn’t envy her for that, but seeing as she was apparently Chief Swan’s daughter, I assumed she knew what she was getting into when she agreed to move here. 

After that, Edward had distracted me with questions about the book— A Tale of Two Cities—he’d suggested I read. The rest of the lesson was spent with us discussing the ins and outs, the best parts and the worst parts in French. The rest of the morning flew by, and none of us had a period with the new girl, so when it came to lunch a few of the Cullens were curious about the new girl, while I had maintained my uninterested stance. We all joined the lunch line, I grabbed myself a fruit salad and a bottle of water, still not very hungry and took my usual seat in between Emmett and Edward at our table. 

‘So, what does the new girl think of the school’s freaks?’ Emmett asked, his dimple appearing in his cheek as he grinned, ‘well freaks and Y/N.’ He winked at me and chuckled when I rolled my eyes at him.

Edward looked over to Bella at Emmett’s question, and for the first time today I look over too. I noticed the way she ducked her head and hid behind her long, brown curly hair as soon as Ed had looked over. I saw the girl next to her, Jessica Stanley, do the same thing and I saw the latter’s shoulders shaking, indicating that she was giggling. She was incredibly beautiful, but I could tell from her shy stature and her unwillingness to look back over here in case Ed was still looking at her, she wasn’t aware of it. I looked away when I felt Edward jerk so unexpectedly that the table vibrated a little.

‘I can’t read her thoughts.’ He sighed, frustration clear in his onyx eyes.

‘How bizarre.’ I mused, putting a piece of watermelon in my mouth and chewing.

‘Ooo finally, someone’s mind you can’t snoop on,’ Emmett’s voice was practically dripping with mirth.

‘I’ll bet the curiosity is killing you.’ Jasper teased, his southern drawl wrapping around his words and a rare smile appearing on his face. 

I assumed he could feel Ed’s frustration as well as any other emotions he wasn’t showing on his expression or through body language. And for the first time since that morning, the dread returned to my gut with such ferocity that it took my breath away. My eyes moved between Bella and Edward, the former shy but clearly interested, and the latter gleaming with curiosity and whatever other emotions Jasper had picked up on to implement his teasing. This is what my body had been warning me about— I was going to lose my best friend to the new girl.

//

The day had taken another abrupt turn when Edward had stormed out of Biology with a look of murder on his face. We usually met at his car after sixth period because we had a free after, so we just went home earlier. I’d hastily climbed in when he’d unlocked the Volvo and had remained silent as he’d driven faster than he normally did, muttering under his breath too low for me to hear. I’d finally spoken up when we reached the hospital, needing to know what was bothering him so much.

‘Ed, what’s going on?’ I asked, my voice tentative.

‘Bella, she’s my blood singer.’ He managed to get out between gritted teeth.

I felt my heart both sink and squeeze in sympathy for his plight. It sunk because I remembered the other half of that legend— it was said that if a humans blood sung for a vampire, that human was the true mate of said vampire. If that was the case then my earlier suspicions were right— I was going to lose Edward to Bella and the stab of pain in my chest almost took my breath away, but I pushed it aside. This wasn’t about me, this was about him.

‘Is there anything I can do?’ I reached out, my hand enveloping his right, where it rested on the steering wheel. When my hand came into contact with his, he flipped his palm up and held my hand in a gentle but firm hold.

‘I need to get away, my instincts want me to go after her, to kill her and I don’t know how long I’ll be able to resist while I’m so thirsty.’ He explained, his thumb moving back and forth over the back of the hand he was holding and I felt my lips lift into a smile when I realised he was comforting me when it was supposed to be the other way around.

‘I’ll come with you.’ It wasn’t like I had any parents to dictate my actions— they died a year ago, but I’d emancipated myself at fifteen, they were lovely people and I had loved them, but they just weren’t ready to be parents. 

Both of them worked full time jobs that took them away from home weeks at a time— the longest I’d gone without seeing them had been two months. I’d gotten tired of being raised by a nanny seeing as she practically just left me to my own devices as soon as I was old enough and did her own thing when she was supposed to be looking after me. So I’d looked into emancipation and after talking to my parents about it on one of the rare days they were home before they jetted off again, they’d both agreed without much resistance. I assumed me saying I’d still like to live with them until I could afford my own place had swayed them, as it meant that not much would change—I’d still be at home, I’d just have the ability to make my own decisions without parental permission. When they’d died in a freak car accident a few years ago, I’d inherited everything seeing as I was their only living family and I was the only one listed on the will. After it happened I decided to move to Forks, remembering the few times my parents had bought me here when I was a child. I’d needed a fresh start where no one knew me as the kid who became rich after her parents died, and this had seemed like the perfect place. I’d actually arrived the same time as the Cullens and it had been then that our friendship had been born and it’d only flourished from there.

‘You don’t have to do that.’ He insisted, but his grip didn’t waver, and his dark eyes were almost pleading for me to disagree with him.

‘Ed, I love you and if you need me, I’m going to be there for you so don’t bother arguing with me.’ I gave him a firm look and when he finally smiled I sent him a wink. 

His dark eyes softened with an emotion I couldn’t identify, and he placed a chaste kiss on the back of my hand before asking me to wait in the car while he spoke to his father. I took the time to compose myself and by the time he returned we were off to Alaska to see his extended family. We’d stopped to fill his tank after about an hour, and he’d also grabbed me some food to eat on the rest of the drive. It was the longest I’d ever been in a car, minus bathroom breaks and stopping just so I could stretch out my legs, but after two days and ten hours we made it. 

I felt like I needed my whole body cracked by a chiropractor, but we were here, and honestly it was beautiful! The Denali Coven’s home was similar to the Cullen’s in the sense that it was secluded and practically in the middle of nowhere— you wouldn’t know where to find it unless you knew what you were looking for. It was a mansion surrounded by snow and the early evening light was a mixture of pink and blue, it took my breath away. We never got sunsets like this in Forks, and I’d almost forgotten how beautiful it could be.

‘Wow, it’s beautiful here.’ I whispered, unwilling to disrupt the scenery around me by being too loud.

‘It is.’ Edward mirrored my volume, and I was so enamoured by the effortless beauty around me that I didn’t notice the bronze haired vampire was staring at me. 

After a while, the cold became too much to ignore and Edward led me inside the house, introducing me to the family I’d heard of but never met in person. They were all of course extremely beautiful and the way Tanya’s eyes lingered on the bronze haired vampire next to me made that stabbing feeling return, but I pushed it down. Edward was my friend, I had no right to be jealous of the female attention he received, I knew that but it didn’t stop the stab of pain in my heart. I chatted with Kate and Garrett while the others and Edward went hunting, they were only gone an hour but by the time they returned I was ready to drop. I’d only managed to snag four hours sleep in the past two days as a car wasn’t the comfiest place to lay your head. 

My vampire friend of course knew immediately and politely excused us both to lead me to one of the only rooms in the entire house that actually had a bed. At that point he went to leave me to have my human moments, but at the last second my body acted without his consent and grabbed his wrist. As soon as my hand closed around his wrist he paused without hesitation, his now golden eyes observing me carefully— I knew he was aware of what I was going to say, but he always waited me to voice it in case I changed my mind.

‘Will you stay with me, until I fall asleep?’ I asked, knowing that if he didn’t I probably wouldn't get any sleep, despite my current state of exhaustion. I had an issue falling asleep in new places that lacked the familiarity of my own bed, at the moment Ed was the closest to comfort I had at the moment; he made me feel safe and calm. 

‘Of course I will,’ he answered, his eyes softening to molten, plonking himself onto the twin bed while I got myself ready to sleep. 

I changed in the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face and applied night cream before joining Edward in the bedroom again. He remained on top of the covers, but he’d shifted so that he wasn’t inhibiting any movement for me. I climbed underneath the thick duvet and snuggled into Ed’s side, happy that his natural coolness balanced out the warmth from the covers and the heat Kate had put on throughout the house to keep me from freezing to death. I inhaled his sweet scent and felt myself melt into him when is arm wound around my shoulders and allowed me to snuggle closer to him. I fell into unconsciousness quickly after that, but just before I completely surrendered to the darkness, I thought I felt Edward’s lips kissing my hair, but I was too far gone to fully process it or respond.

//

‘I need to talk to you.’ Edward said as we were a day into our drive back to Forks.

He felt much better now, and was determined not to let a stranger rule his life and the legacy his coven represented. He didn’t want to let Carlisle down and was prepared to simply not breathe in the single period he shared with Bella if that was what it took for his family to continue living in Forks until they were ready to move on again. Honestly, he’d told me that after the first night we’d spent there, I’d barely opened my eyes before he told me the conclusion he’d come to over his blood singer moving to Forks. It took me longer to process his words than it should have, because it was morning but mostly due to the fact that I’d woken up exactly where I’d fallen asleep, which meant he hadn’t left me once throughout the night and that revelation had done funny things to my heart and my ability to focus. Once I had, I’d been relieved, a part of me had been worried he would go as far to relocate to Alaska until Bella left Forks.

‘About what?’ I wondered, putting the bottle of water I’d taken a few gulps of back into the cup holder.

‘I’m not interested in Bella in any romantic way, and I plan to stay as far away from her as possible. While there have been some instances over the centuries of a vampires blood singer also being his true mate, that’s very rare. It wasn’t the case for Emmett, and it’s not the case for me either.’ I could barely hear his soft voice over the sound of my heart thundering in my chest, ‘you’re my true mate, Y/N. I’ve known since I first saw you, which is why we all became so close to you so fast, my family and I usually shy away from making contact with humans but I had to know you. I was certain I’d scare you off when you found out that we were vampires, and when it didn’t I was sure you’d leave when you found out about how much I love you. I tried to cheat and figure out how you’d react to the news by focusing on your thoughts, but you never really lingered on my family and I when you’re around us. So, because I’m a coward I kept my knowledge to myself, content with having you in my life even if it meant I couldn’t truly be with you how I wanted to be. But after hearing your thoughts about losing me when you learned about Bella, and how you felt unworthy of me when you met Tanya, well I just couldn’t bear to keep this to myself when I knew that you were hurting because of it.’

I was silent for a long moment after his speech, because well it was a lot to process, and a part of me couldn’t believe it even though I’d just heard it with my own two ears. But when I saw the look in Ed’s eyes, the soft look that made his orbs look like honey, I was able to recognise the emotion that had always evaded me when I’d tired to put a finger on it— it was love. 

‘I love you too, Edward.’ My voice was so soft that I could barely hear it, but of course he had no problem and a grin took over his face, lighting his expression so brilliantly that my breath caught at the sight of his effortless beauty.

After that somewhat emotional conversation, Edward had taken his hand in mine, and we spent the rest of the drive exchanging occasional anecdotes. But for the most part we remained in a comfortable silence and relaxed in the bubble of love and contentment that settled around us.

Third person POV

When Bella entered the cafeteria that particularly miserable Monday morning, she’d looked over to the Cullen’s table out of habit, only to freeze when she saw that there six people sat around the table, not the usual four she’d grown accustomed to seeing. After she managed to pull herself out of her reverie, she grabbed a bottle of lemonade and hurried to the table she sat at with Mike, Jessica, Angela, Eric and others whose names she hadn’t quite been able to remember. The curly-haired brunette kept her head down for ten minutes, tentatively sipping her lemonade and avoiding conversation as she felt daggers piercing into the side of her head. It was another five minutes before she decided enough was enough; she wasn’t going to let herself feel alienated by a boy who didn’t even know her from Adam. So she turned her head, looking up at the table from underneath her lashes and the sight that greeted her made her fell relaxed and disappointed all at once. None of them were looking in her direction, so she lifted her head a little more so she was able to observe the family with more ease. Emmett and Rosalie were wrapped up in each other, the curly haired blonde vampire grinning at his love as she kissed his cheek and murmured something that made the brawny boy throw his head back and release his signature booming laughter. Jasper and Alice were sat side by side, the blonde’s hand holding Alice’s underneath the table, both content to sit in silence and observe those around them. Edward and a girl whose name she’d learned was Y/N, they were... close in a way Bella couldn’t quite describe. She didn’t know what had changed between now and last week, but there had obviously been a shift in their relationship. The bronze haired boy had his arm wrapped around Y/N’s shoulders, and she was looking up at Edward with a look of pure adoration and love in her eyes, but what was more intense was that he was returning it with equal fervour. Throughout the hour, their eyes never left one another, and they were always touching in some way, whether it was Y/N holding Edward’s free hand and playing with his fingers as they quietly spoke to one another, or whether it was the bronze haired boy brushing Y/N’s hair behind her ear and letting his hand linger to caress the side of her face— they never once shifted so they weren’t touching. It was as if they were in their own little bubble, impenetrable to even the other family members sitting around the table with them, and Bella felt her heart ache at the sight. She longed for someone to look at her the way Edward was looking at Y/N. If she were being completely honest with herself, she had found herself interested in the boy, despite his horrid attitude towards her last week, but obviously that was in vein; he was in love with Y/N, that much was obvious. 

With a sigh, Bella returned her attention to her table mates around her, making an effort to engage in their conversation and forget about the mysterious family sat to the right of her. Jessica had been right— there was no point in wasting any time there.

A/N: So I had this idea pop into my head last night, and to be honest I’m not completely sure how I feel about it?? But I’ve purged it from my mind now and it’s out there. I hope you liked it!!

Dr Bombshell & Mr Hollywood

Chapter 24

       The drive was filled with silence, albeit a comfortable one. Jake wouldn’t tell her where he was taking her and Candice felt incredibly curious. They had taken her car with Jake announcing that he could have his personal assistant to come collect his car from the café. For a moment Candice had become curious and almost asked if this assistant happened to be a female but refrained when the implication of such a query dawned on her.

      Candice looked away from the passing streets and stores to gaze at the man seated next to her. Even dressed casually he looked really good. The tips of her fingers began to itch with a need to reach out and run them on his jaws which were covered in a few days’ worth beard.

      After a short while, Jake pulled into a dark alleyway causing Candice to raise an eyebrow, a questionable expression on her face. Jake simply laughed and asked her to trust him as he opened the door for her. Candice stepped out and looked around suspiciously.

      The two brick buildings on either side, leaning up to the night sky, considerably softened the decibels of the weekday traffic noise. It was a typical New York alley- cold, dark, dank, the air faintly smelling stale. Large trash containers stood leaning against the sides of the buildings with their lids partly up with overly stuffed garbage bags. Swirls of mist rose in the air, giving the place a very eerie feeling.

      There was another car and a few motorcycles- mostly Harley Davidsons, two Ducati and a Suzuki Boulevard- parked along the sides. Even under the dim bulbs on the side of the building the machines glinted evilly.

“Jake why are we here?”, she mumbled gripping the edges of her faux fur jacket closer.

“Jheez Candice... Relax will ya. I am not a psychotic killer. Trust me.”, he smirked as he led her to an unmarked door at the side of the building and brought his hand up to knock- three short raps a moment’s pause and another two. Candice noticed the peculiarity but before she could ask, the huge door opened, groaning at the hinges. A ginormous man stepped out to greet the pair.

      Candice felt her heart palpitate rapidly. The man was easily above six feet and had a chest big as a barrel. He was dressed in a pair of faded denims and a black muscle t- shirt underneath a leather jacket. His thick handle bar moustache moved as he chewed on a piece of gum. Candice shivered as his savage eyes assessed her from head to toe.

“Mihael!”, Jake called out. At his beckon the bull of a man turned his attention towards Jake, his scowling face breaking into a huge mean looking grin.

“Jake!”, he roared, “Long time!”

      While he spoke, he stepped aside and motioned his hand for them to enter. Instinctively, Candice leaned and grabbed Jake’s arm, too afraid to trust the stranger before her.

      Once the pair were inside, Mihael not only pushed the door shut but locked it behind them. Candice gulped. Through the sound of the rushing blood she could hear the faint beats of music. The beats blared against them, the vibrations of the music travelling through her flesh, as Mihael pushed open another heavy set door at the end of the corridor. He began to descend down a set of stairs.

      Candice tightened her grip on Jake’s arm as they followed Mihael, while Jake kept up a lively conversation with him. A chill ran up her spine as she realised they were being led to the basement. Flashes of those horrific memories passed before her eyes making her shudder which Jake intuitively picked up.

“Baby, are you ok?”, he pulled her closer to him and looked down at her with concern in his blue eyes. She shuddered again, but this time with pleasure, elicited by the way Jake called her ‘baby’. Candice bit her lower lip and nodded.

      At the base of the stairs the space opened up to a large area. Candice took note of how the interior was industrial style with exposed bricks and iron pipes running overhead; at intervals black, spindly iron rods extended like spider legs with exposed bulbs attached at its end, illuminating the bar.

      Jake took pride in the way Candice clung on to his arm as they steered through the crowd, dodging drunk and bawling bikers on their way to the bar. His chest puffed up beneath his jacket and he felt like he had grown at least a couple feet taller ever since he entered the ‘The B BrUtherhood’ club, a quaint establishment not very far from his place. Every eye, wide and curious, seemed to follow him tonight.

      He very well knew the reason and it was the woman accompanying him. He had never brought a girl here before. Candice was the only exception he had thought of making and also the fact that she looked like an angel fallen from heaven wasn’t really helping their curiosity, he realised.

      It was very easy to see that he was most men and few women’s object of envy and he couldn’t help but gloat in this revelation. It was some sort of basal animal instinct he concluded, a need to flaunt his mate... Jake stopped his thoughts abruptly, suddenly realising that he was getting way too ahead of the situation. He wanted Candice, not just as a friend but a lot more than that but he would have to be patient.

      Meanwhile, Candice was very uncomfortable with the attention they were receiving. As they pushed their way through the crowded pub he kept waving and greeting people. Candice tightened her grip on his muscular arm, afraid of losing him in the crowd, and began to soak in her strange surrounding.

      There were two large pool tables on one side of the vast space. There was also a dart board where a man in leather pants and a sleeveless t- shirt stood throwing darts unsuccessfully while his pals made fun of him. The place was packed with curious looking patrons. The hazy air was heavy with a concoction of smells- sweat, perfume, testosterone and a hint of tobacco.

       In the centre of the vast room was a vacant spot cleared where men with scruffy beards, tattooed arms danced along with ladies clad in shimmering, overtly revealing, and body clinging clothes. Candice settled herself on one of the bar stools along with Jake, who shook hands with the bar tender, a skinny and pale looking man with blue and green spikes and a silver ring pierced through his septum.

    Despite the freezing temperatures outside, it was relatively warm inside the pub. They had already discarded their jackets at the entrance but Candice had half a mind to lose her blazer as well and that she did, after a moment’s of deliberation. She bunched it together and handed it to Jake who passed it on to the bar tender for safekeeping.

“This is a biker’s exclusive club.”, Jake informed her once the bar- tender left to prepare their drinks. Jake’s eyes travelled along her well sculpted torso, her lacy top doing things to him as it gave a sneak- peek of not just her smooth skin but also the red lacy bra she wore underneath.

      Candice noted how he was still holding her hand in his but didn’t bother rectifying the situation. She was beginning to like the proximity between them.

“Exclusive? How are we here then?”, she queried. Jake grinned, his eyes twinkling under the lights. His gaze told her what she had already guessed. The revelation made Candice’s breath hitch in her throat.

      Jake didn’t even notice Darryl, the skinny bartender, placing their drinks as he was enthralled by Candice’s reaction. She gawked at him with utter bewitchment in her eyes which made him chuckle. The woman definitely had a type and it wasn’t hard to read.

    Finally noticing the drinks he lifted the highball glass and passed it to Candice with a smirk, “Here is your sex- on- the- beach.” Candice knew it was ridiculous but couldn’t help the blush as she took the glass and brought it to her lips. She was incredibly thirsty and the drink was refreshing to say the least.

“What?”, the corners of her lips slipped ever so slightly in a sly smirk as she watched Jake take her in.

      Jake couldn’t help but notice how incredibly sexy and angelic she looked. He smirked at her restless expression. “You look so beautiful. So sexy.”, he leaned in and whispered, raising a hand to push her curls behind her shoulder, exposing her slender neck.

      Candice felt the hair on her neck stand, the warmth in her cheeks deepen. She took another gulp of her drink and composed herself.

“Is that you Jake?”, someone growled behind her and Candice twisted in her seat to look and found two men approaching them.

      They looked to be in their late-thirties to early forties. One of them was lean yet muscular, a pair of amethyst eyes peeking out from behind his straight dark bangs that fell and reached his high cheekbones, gaze full of mirth and challenge. He was attractive and gave off a strong ‘Up to no good’ vibe.

      The man along with him had a far more imposing form with his large frame filled perfectly with taut muscles, each of his arm seemed equivalent to a trunk of a very large oak tree, his eyes holding the same intimidating look. His skin looked tanned and weather beaten, hair dry and sun burnt, all testifying to the fact that the man spent a lot of time outdoors under the sun.

“Fellas!”, Jake got up and gave the two a manly hug. Jake was dwarfed in their presence.

“Haven’t seen you here in a while. How have you been?”, it was the lean one. He scanned Candice from head to toe before adding, “And who is this angel with you?”, he asked leaning against the bar.

“This is Candice.”, Jake slid an arm around her waist and brought her close to him, much too possessively. Candice didn’t object at all. In fact she loved it.

“Please to meet you lovely. Name’s Ottis. And this is Julian.”, it was the bulky man. Candice smiled at him. Ottis flashed his set of yellowing pearls right back at her.

“You must really be something. Never seen Jake here bring any chick before.”, Julian spoke up. He had a subtle drawl to his speech.

      Next to her Jake chuckled. Candice took a sip of her own drink and tried to gather her flustered thoughts. She had never done well around strangers and to be thrust into spotlight before such intimidating looking men made her deeply uncomfortable.

“You guys are scaring her.”, came a sultry voice from next to her. A thin woman sidled up next to Jake and threw an arm around and leaned against him.

      Jake dropped his arm that was around Candice and stood straight, giving the woman one of his signature lopsided grin.  Candice felt that sharp sting of disappointment. The blonde woman assessed the new comer- red hair, a short tight skirt that was barely covering her ass, her bony cream legs covered in fishnet stalking, her five inch stilettos giving her arse a perfect raise, her tank top barely containing her very well endowed breast.

      Candice felt her chest tighten and a feeling of hostility towards the other woman entered. She frowned at the familiar feeling.

“Ellie Mae. Meet Candice. Candice. Meet Ellie Mae.”, Jake gestured. Candice forced a smile but her gaze lingered on the prolonged contact of the woman’s skinny arm around Jake.

“Nice to meet you all.”, Candice mumbled, watching Ellie’s breast pressing against Jake’s arm as she leaned further.

“I am curious. What do you guys do while you aren’t on the road?”, she turned her attention towards the men but mainly caught Ottis’s gaze. She couldn’t help but fear looking into Julian’s eyes. There was something in his wild gaze, it seemed to penetrate her mind, to read every thought she ever had.

“Well I teach at Bell Academy. Mostly sixth to ninth grade. Julien here is thou a mechanic. Owns his shop up at Brooklyn.”, he replied.

     Candice couldn’t help but marvel at the fact. She could hardly coax her mind to imagine a school teacher cruising through miles and miles of stretches of lonely roads in search of adventure.

“Julien is the one who introduced me to this place. He had excellent yelp reviews so I took my dear Audrey to him. Nothing but the best for my baby girl.”, Jake smiled.

“Audrey?”, she raised an eyebrow.

“My Harley Davidson.”, Jake smiled proudly. With his beer in one hand he lifted his other arm and put it around Ellie’s shoulder. The red head snuggled closer to him.

      A sudden flash of heat consumed Candice’s heart before the uneasy feeling solidified in the pit of her stomach bearing her heavy. She took a deep steady breath before placing her empty glass back on the bar. The beats of the song that had been playing ended and was followed by the song ‘Something just like this’. She loved the song and decided that it would be the best time to move away. Forcing a smile onto her face she addressed the two men but mostly Ottis.

“It was nice meeting you all but I guess I am going down to the dance floor. That’s my favourite song.”, she muttered, refusing to meet Jake’s gaze or the way Ellie’s boobs were now pressed against his torso and not just his arm.

      Candice did really love this song. The first time she had heard it the words had literally hit home. She didn’t want a superhero or a fairy tale life but she definitely wanted some sense of balance, security and most importantly love. As her hips began to sway she thought of how her miserable life has been far from such things since the moment she had been born up until now. Before she knew it fresh tears began to prick her eyes. She shut them tightly, refusing to cry again.

“What happened sweetheart?”, she tensed as a pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist from behind but relaxed when his smooth husky voice filled her ears and his musky smell filled her nose.

“Ellie isn’t going to like it that you’re dancing with me.”, she grumbled loud enough for his ears.

“Ellie? Why would she mind? Her husband, Ottis, is there to keep company.”, he whispered against her ears, both continuing to sway to the music. Candice felt her stomach twist. Ottis ought to reign in his wife, she decided sorely.

“Well. It didn’t seem that way when she was practically thrusting her melons into your face.”, she scoffed, unable to stop herself. Jake stopped dancing forcing her to stop as well.

“Is that jealousy I sense?”, he asked, clearly enjoying her reaction. He knew Ellie had a massive crush on him and he was well aware of the open relation she shared with her husband but he would never reciprocate to her desires. The only reason he had even allowed so much proximity between them that night had been for one reason and it seemed to have worked.

“Don’t flatter yourself Gyllenhaal.”, she turned around in his arms to face him and glared which only made Jake burst out laughing.

      He pulled her closer to him, not leaving even a sliver of space between them. He loved jealous Candice. Candice looked at him, her dreamy eyes wide. Jake gazed into them and felt himself getting lost in it’s depths. They were absolutely stunning, innocent, seductive yet hidden amongst them was wisdom far beyond her years. A fire danced in it’s depths- not a spark but a blazing passion. He confidently brought his hand up to the back of her head, grabbing hold of her hair he jerked it slightly, holding her gaze prisoner to his.

“I beg to differ darling. You are jealous. But you should know that I have my eyes set on you. Nobody else but you.”, he whispered before bringing his lips down to hers.

      Candice protested in his arms for a second before finally relinquishing in the warmth of his lips. It started slow, sloppy, nothing like the ones you would read in the cheesy novels but it did escalate into one soon enough. As Candice grew sure she titled her head and opened her mouth, giving him access to her depths. She shuddered and swallowed his moan as she clung on to him, fingers holding tightly unto his t- shirt.

      It felt a while when they finally came up for air. Jake couldn’t believe the incredible feeling shooting through his body. Never in his life had he experienced something like this. The experience was a little more than just erotic. The sublime yet deep effect it had left his nerves shattered and mind cling desperately to sanity.

“Will you take me on one of your MC excursions?”, she asked suddenly, her voice giddy and swollen lips spread out in one of the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.

      Who could have said no to such a smile yet Jake had quickly devised a devious plan.

“Only if you allow me to take you out for dinner.”, he smirked. He felt her fingers run through his hair, the tips of her fingers gently grazing his scalp. A feverish feeling coursed through his nerves.

“Like a date?”, Candice asked, her honey voice sounded languid.

“Yes. Like a date.”, Jake gazed into her eyes, fear of rejection causing his heart to thump erratically, as he waited for her answer.

Title: My Unpretty Boyfriend Pairing: Yoongi x Jihyo Oneshot. ********************************************      "Skirts are so comfortable," Yoongi thought as he sat relaxed in a chair as he scrolled through his phone. He tilted the chair back on its hind legs and scrolled through a certain girl groups instagram. Today Bangtan were filming for a variety show that was going to be posted on their vlive channel later. They were still at the location of where the filming took place.Today concept was a bit too funny. Having his memebers flirt with him individually as different characters was hilarious and he hope the fans love it.     He was still sitting in the 'classroom' relaxing a bit before be changed his wardrobe back to his normal clothes and took the excess make up off. Yoongi had to admit though this shade of lip tint contrast well with his skin tone. His phone vibrated interrupting his odd musings and a text flashed at the notification bar. He clicked on it and saw it was a message from Her. "Are you done filming Oppa ?" the text said. The chair landed back on all four legs as he quickly sent,"Yea we're done filming" He smiled as he thought of the person he was texting. Park Jihyo his girlfriend of 1 year. Just the mere thought of his girl puts an immediate smile on his face. They don't see each other as often as they did when they first began dating.But thats due to them both being extremely busy her especially. Jihyo is the leader and main vocalist of the popular girl group Twice. The girls are doing extremely well right now. And he couldn't be any more happy for her, after she worked hard for 10 long years. His girl deserves it all.       His phone buzzed again her name flashing across the screen "Hyo❤️" "That didn't seem too long what were you guys filming" the text said He smirked at the screen he pushed the hair out of his face. "Just a little something for the fans it'll be on vlive next week, but babe watch out you have competition" he sent to her He chuckled as he thought of the shoot he and the boys did earlier. He glanced down at his school girl uniform again. And shook his head of the thought of his members trying to flirt with him. He can't get the image of Namjoon sending him finger hearts out of his head. His phone buzzed again. "Competition in what ?", she replied He grinned mischeviously. "Someone might snatch me away from you" he sent to her. He snickered as he saw that she read it and the thread of bubbles came up showing that she was typing a reply. He wanted to see how she'll respond, he doesn't necessarily have to tell her that his members were her only competition. But he loved to tease her, she was so cute when jealous. Yoongi heard the oncoming footsteps coming towards the door of the 'classroom' he was in. He was to busy waiting on her response to realize the door slid open and one by one his members came in with an extra person. He didn't even realize the boys crowded around him a bit from behind and the extra person was leaning over his left shoulder. "Who's gonna take you away from me," a familiar voice said. Yoongi looked up quickly and saw the amused look on Jihyo's face. "Jagi what are you doing here ? " he asked her in shock dropping his phone on the desk. She grinned at him and he couldn't help smiling back at her. He stood up quickly and pulled her into a hug, his arms wrapping around her waist as hers went around his neck. "Jagi I missed you sooo much, no one could ever take me away from you," Yoongi said his voice a bit muffled because his face was snuggled into Jihyo's neck. She giggled as she heard that and hugged him tighter. The rest of bangtan chuckled at the image of the couple hugging. It was a funny sight to them considering Yoongi was still in his 'Yoonji' outfit, wig and everything still on. "Ya why didn't you change?" Jin asked in disbelief. " I was too lazy to change I wanted to relax," Yoongi said over Jihyo's shoulder. He hugged her closer as she tried to pull away. "Ya you act like what you did was hard, we were the ones flirting with you my shirt was all wet from the shoot and I didn't bring extra underwear ! " J-hope said with a wide grin on his face. He was glad Jihyo was here to visit them, it felt like its been awhile since she last came to see them. Although she's dating Yoongi she always made sure it wasn't awkward for the other members. She was a fun girl to hang out with. "Oppa go change!  I can't take you serious in a skirt right now," Jihyo said as she was laughing. The sight of her boyfriend Min Yoongi aka Suga lead rapper of BTS in a school girl uniform was too much for the pretty idol. "Babe let me just hold you for now, I'll change in a bit," Yoongi said. He was a bit annoyed at his members right now considering they were still here laughing at him while he was hugging Jihyo, which caused her to laugh and slacken her arms around him. He just held her close and breathed in her sweet scent. He really missed her, Yoongi thought that since they were both too busy to visit one another that they'd at least see each other at the different end of award shows but he just had to injure his ear with a door. As if she could read his mind Jihyo asked,"Hows your ear baby, I'm so sorry I couldn't come check on you to see if you were ok". Yoongi smiled at her words, she was really too cute. "I'm fine Jagi, it wasn't that much of an injury." He reassured her and pulled back to look at her face. His heart swelled in his chest as he stared at her. Jihyo's beauty always made him feel that way. Her big sparkly eyes, button nose, and pretty lips that seem to always be pulled in a smile. He was so glad that she was his and his only. Besides the public knowledge, everyone that knew of their relationship knew just how much he loved and cared about her.     And by everyone that knew, he obviously meant his members and Jihyo's members. Heck Jihyo's label mate and a friend of Bangtan, Got7 knew. BigHit and JYPE were well aware of their relationship and surprisingly didn't mind. But having to come clean to a certain PD-nim JYP himself, he had to admit it was an intimidating experience. The man may no longer be the ceo of the company but he was still protective of his idols and artist, especially the girls.     When they were in the meeting with Bang pd-nim, The CEO of JYPE, and JYP himself, the man kept on giving him blank stares. Turns out JYP has a soft spot for all of Twice but an even softer spot for Jihyo considering he watched her grow right before his eyes. That meeting itself was awkward, Bang PD-nim was just smirking at his and Jihyo's interlaced hands. Where as JYP kept staring at him directly with an indescribable look on his face. Yoongi still remember the words JYP uttered to him after the meeting when he was caught alone. Jihyo was conversing with Bang PD and the CEO of JYPE happily, it seemed like his PD-nim approved of her. But here he was alone with Park JinYoung himself and the man didn't look pleased. " What made you interested in Jihyo," JYP asked his stature intimidating with his arms crossed. Yoongi didn't realize how tall JYP was.   "She's very pretty but she isn't vain, shes very down to earth and shes a hardworker," Yoongi replied.  "I care about her a lot sir," he continued he felt he had to add sir to prove that he was serious about this. JYP just continued to stare at him and Yoongi stared back. Park Jinyoung sighed and uncrossed his arms. He placed his hand on Yoongi shoulder with a serious look on his face he said "You seem like a good hardworking kid yourself, but you're very popular if this gets out, you and Jihyo can get in trouble and things may get even more difficult for Jihyo, it hasn't been long since she debuted ok,"       That right there made Yoongi nod his head in response. Yoongi knew the repercussions if news came out that he was dating Jihyo. His fans may go on a rampage. But he didn't care, for now they can keep the relationship a secret he didn't mind that, but the fans will find out sooner or later and he knows he'll always be by Jihyo's side.     " I know that sir thats why we're not announcing anything yet," he said as he looked at JYP seriously. The man sighed then patted him on the shoulder, "Please take care of her, ok ?" He said.  Yoongi just nodded but then he heard Jihyo's laugh coming from outside the meeting room and he smiled and said, " I'll always take care of her". Breaking out of his thoughts he heard jimin speaking to him. "Hyung we're still in the room," Jimin said jokingly. "Hurry up and go change so we could finally eat the food Jihyo brought," J-hope said. Yoongi finally let Jihyo slip from his arms so he could turn and stare blankly at his members. "Why were they still here," Yoongi thought grumpily. "Ya if your hungry you could go ahead and eat but at least thank her for bringing food, I didn't even know she was coming," he said testily "Ya do you think so little of us, of course we thanked her for the food, she brought a lot of food for us and the staff working today," said Namjoon. "Yoongi Hyung you can't keep her all to yourself! Shes our friend too and we haven't hung out for awhile," Jungkook said. Yoongi scoffed as he looked to his right at Jihyo. He slipped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his side. Yoongi was glad that Jihyo was a bit on the short size. He loved cuddling her into his frame. " You never did tell me what you guys were filming," Jihyo said. She looked at him from head to toe taking in the school girl outfit. She chuckled then started laughing outright. Jihyo couldn't contain her mirth, she had a funny thought. Yoongi just stared at her amusedly with an eyebrow raised. "What ? You don't think I make a pretty girl?" Yoongi asked her " Haha I just thought about what you texted me earlier saying I have competition." She chuckled and stared into his eyes but damn it she couldn't contain her laugh he still had the bob wig on. "Oppa you're my only competition you're so pretty, I can already imagine how your younger sister would look like if you had one." Jihyo said jokingly. The boys laughed loudly at that and he couldn't help but laugh with them. She made a point. "Hey I look like my youngest aunt that cuts hair in Daegu," Yoongi said as he pulled her in for another hug. Jihyo resisted with a push to his chest. "Oppa I miss you too but you still need to change," Jihyo said as she looked up at him smiling. "Ya are you ashamed of me in this,?!" Yoongi said jokingly as the rest of bangtan started laughing again. "Hyung do you like being in a skirt or something?!" Taehyung asked laughing at the same time. "You know its actually really comfortable," Namjoon said smirking at Yoongi.     He walked over and gave him a quick high five and Yoongi just smirked back "Just before you you guys showed up I was thinking just that," Yoongi said with a grin. He looked down at Jihyo as she was staring at him incredulously. He raised an eyebrow at her "What ?" He asked her "Are you serious right now Oppa ?" Jihyo asked with a chuckle. Her eyes wide not believing what she was hearing from her oh so charismatic rapper boyfriend. Her eyes widen with realization, then her expression changed to one filled with humor.  "Oh my god babe you can join Unpretty rapstar now you and Namjoon both can join!" Jihyo said causing a round of laughter from the boys but Yoongi and Namjoon just stared at her with blank looks on their faces. Taehyung grabbed Namjoon shoulders lightly shaking him as he laughed. "Hyung quick go ask the coordi noona to put a wig on you too!" Taehyung said excitedly which caused Jin and J-hope to laugh loudly. Jimin and Jungkook were bent over hands on their knees dying from laughter. " Ohh lets see a diss battle from these two right now!" J-hope suggested excitedly. Jungkook ran out of the room quickly and came back with a wig similar to Yoongi's. Everyone but Namjoon was laughing. He just stared at his members and Jihyo laughing at him with a smirk on his face. Jihyo covered her mouth to try and quiet her laughter. Yoongi caught sight of her doing this and a smirk appeared on his face. "Who do you think would win?" He asked her  abruptly. She looked at him in shock," what?" She said "You heard me who do you think is gonna win?" He repeated for her raising an eyebrow at her. This caught the rest of Bangtan's attention, the maknae line was tryna force the wig on Namjoon where as Jin and J-hope watched nagging at him. But they all stopped a bit to watch the couple interact. Namjoon shrugged Jungkook and Taehyngs hands off him and he grinned at Yoongi and Jihyo. "Yea who do think would win Jihyo-ah?" Namjoon said as he smiled at the girl. Jihyo who was still wrapped in Yoongi's arm just smirked and shrugged. "I think it could go either way, you guys are both talented rappers." She said. "Ya your my girlfriend you have to say Im gonna win no matter what." Yoongi said as he pressed his lips against her temple. Jihyo glanced up at him for a bit. As much as she loved it when he was affectionate with her right now, she didn't want to make it weird for the other members. Besides Yoongi was usually ok with that, he didn't kiss her in front of anybody he just usually hug or held her hand. He was being more affectionate in front of his members than usual. But was she complaining ? Nope she loved the affection and skinship she was receiving from him. "Oppa just because I'm your girlfriend doesn't mean I can't judge fairly." She said as  she crossed her arms over her chest and leaned into him a bit more. She looked ahead but felt him staring at her and she continued saying," you guys both have good flow,rhythm, and an attractive tone."  Jin looked thoughtful for a moment, as did J-hope, where as Maknae line went back to forcing the wig on Namjoon and from the look of it they were winning. Jungkook and Taehyung each had him by the arm where as Jimin was the one trying to get the wig on him but Namjoon wasn't going down easily but Maknae line had more energy than the Leader. Jihyo noticed and laughed at their antics. Yoongi was still staring at his girlfriend side profile, she looks good from this angle. But he wanted to hear more of what she had to say. He pressed his lips against her soft hair and murmured, " stop getting easily distracted and just tell me you think I'm gonna win." She chuckled quietly and lightly elbowed his chest and she felt his chest rumble with his own laugh. "Ya you like me because you know I'll never sugar coat things for you." she said. Jihyo felt him smile against her hair and he gave her temple another kiss. Jimin finally managed to get the wig onto Namjoon and the Maknae line gave a shout of happiness. Which caught the attention of Jin and J-hope who started laughing again at Namjoon's frazzled state. "Ya wigs are itchy to wear!" He shouted at the Younger members, who just continued to laugh at him. "Ok, Namjoon-ah we might as well do it since your wearing it now." Yoongi said with a grin on his face. "Lets just have a vote to see who they think is gonna win and we could have manager hyung be the judge after we prepare for 5 mins." Namjoon said smirking at the shorter rapper. "Ya oppa you guys don't have to do this, you guys are both talented but different rappers." Jihyo said as she looked from her boyfriend back to Namjoon. Jin and J-hope glanced at each other again. "Jihyo-ah who do you think can win honestly?" Jin asked her She felt all the boys eyes on her and she fidgeted a bit. Not really liking the attention, but she knew they really want to hear her answer especially her boyfriend,so she decided to be honest. "For the diss battle I think they're both good but I feel like Namjoon might win." She said without looking at Yoongi who just wanted to know why she would think that way. He wasn't mad not even in the slightest he knew both him and Namjoon were equal in skill and talent but had very different styles. Where as he was blunt and straight foward with his lyrics, Namjoon was a bit more poetic and philosophical with his lyrics. Some people would say they liked him more than Namjoon and the others would say they liked Namjoon more than him. He understands that everyone has a preference so he wasn't mad at Jihyo just a tad bit annoyed and he wanted to know why she picked Namjoon. "Why do you think he would win huh? Yoongi asked her in a light tone. "Jihyo-ah Yoongi hyung is getting jealous quick just say you think hes gonna win." Jungkook said with a wide grin. The other boys were looking at the couple some were laughing but Jin and Namjoon looked a bit concern they didn't want the two to fight. "Ya lets just stop this now and go eat the delicious food Jihyo brought." Jin said. "Yea lets go Yoongi hurry and go change." J-hope said. "But we want to see the diss battle!" Taehyung whined. "Wait Jihyo still hasn't answered I want to know why she thinks that." Yoongi said loudly without breaking eye contact with Jihyo. She just stared right back at him not backing down. Everyone looked at the couple and felt a bit uncomfortable fearing that a fight might break out. Everyone but Taehyung that is, who just wanted to see the two rappers in wigs dissing each other. "Oppa because I know what you guys are both capable of." She said as she moved from underneath his arm to face him fully. He turned and fully faced her too and crossed his arms. " Am I not capable of beating him?" He asked her. "If your time limit is only 5minutes then yes oppa you wouldn't win Namjoon is very clever." She said honestly "Ahh so you think I'm not clever also ?" Yoongi asked with a raised brow. "Hyung thats not what she meant." Jimin said worriedly this started out as a joke and was escalating quickly. He didn't want to see the couple fight. They haven't seen each other in person for awhile they shouldn't spend the precious time they have together fighting. "Ya stop I don't even want to do it so don't force me to do something I don't wanna do." Namjoon said as he snatched the wig off his head causing Taehyung to whine a bit but he quickly stopped with one look from Jin. "It was a joke now come on lets go eat, go ahead and stay in the uniform Yoongi but lets go." Jin said trying to break the staring contest between the couple. "I never said you weren't clever I just know you, you like to take time to think of rap lyrics." Jihyo said starting to feel irritated with Yoongi. She loves him and she knows just how skilled and talented he is but she also knows 5 mins isn't long enough for him to make a diss good enough to beat Namjoon in a diss battle. This is Namjoon we're talking about here. The poetic Rapper that can come up with clever rap in just a few mins. Yoongi on the other hand also just as clever but liked to take his time writing his lyrics and rap. But Yoongi knew all of this he just loved to mess with Jihyo she makes an adorable expression when irritated.  He smirked at her which gave the other members relief and it seemed like they all released the breath they were holding. Jihyo smacked him on the chest. She looked annoyed but he only gave her a gummy smile. She tried to hit him again but he only grabbed her hands and tried to pulled her close again. "No Oppa you're so mean !" She said trying to push him away. She really thought he was upset at her for not picking him. She didn't want to fight with him but here he was instead, messing with her. "What an ass" she thought to herself. "Aigoo Oppa is sorry for teasing you." Yoongi said still trying to pull her in his arms. She was still struggling, he smiled as she continued to struggle, she was being adorable. The rest of the boys started feeling awkward so they decided to leave, each bidding the couple goodbye. "Ya just hurry and come eat." Jin said. "Yoongi ah next time ok." Namjoon said. "Be nice to her Yoongi." J-hope said. "Hyung be good." Jimin said. "Aish I wanted to see that battle." Taehyung said sadly. "We'll be outside eating ok hurry and join us." Jungkook said as he closed the door. The couple really didn't notice, they where in their own little world. Yoongi just stared at her lovingly where she looked like she wanted to hit him. Jihyo was still struggling with his hands until she finally managed to break away. "Oppa you're really neomuhae." She said pouting at him a bit. This just made his heart swell with happiness seeing her act this way. Agghhhh she was too cute. "Babe I actually did that today in the skit, I gave you free promotion, now come here!" He said as he grabbed her hand again to try and pull her into his arms. But she resisted again, why was she tryna deny his love ? "If its free then I don't need to do anything." She said trying to pull her hand away again. "Ya don't be like that I really missed you." He said and Yoongi gave her a strong tug and she came tumbling in his arms. He wrapped them around her and leaned his body against the desk so she was standing slightly between his legs. She gave in and wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned into him. Jihyo missed this, being in her boyfriend' arms. She lifted her head to stare at him and he was giving her such a loving look she smiled at him. He then leaned foward and gave her forehead a kiss, she closed her eyes feeling his lips against her head. She loved that feeling, he loved it even more. They stayed in that same position a bit before he gave her nose a lil kiss and she giggled at that. But soon his lips met hers and he kissed her softly her giggled died down when he kissed her. When was the last time they kissed? He didn't remember it felt like years ago but in reality it was only a few months. She started to kiss him back just as softly and he smiled into her lips. He moved his lips against her own and his hands moved to her waist as her  arms moved up around his neck. She pulled him closer, and he smiled again into the kiss. Jihyo missed him just as much as he did, they moved their mouths together slowly. Yoongi tilted his head slightly to deepen the kiss. He traced her lips with his tongue, and he felt her gasp. He nipped at her bottom lip slightly and pulled away. He stared at her, cheeks flushed and lips slightly pink. He kissed her again and pulled away to look at her she was staring at him. Her face then scrunched up a bit and she started giggling again. "Don't you dare ruin the moment right now." Yoongi said a bit grumpily. He already knew what she was laughing about, he still had the wig and outfit on. She just shook her head and leaned back standing up straight as her hands went to rest on his chest. "Please go change so I wouldn't feel awkward kissing you." Jihyo said looking at him with a smile. He just stared at her, wanting to kiss her again but not wanting to let go of her just yet. "Not yet babe, just a little bit longer." Yoongi said leaning in to press his lips against hers but she moved her face to the side and his lips landed against her cheek. He sighed and just kept kissing her cheek. Why was she so stubborn. "Either go change or I'm gonna take pictures of you." Jihyo tried threatening him. But she just felt him move his lips down to her neck. She gasped at that and moved away from his lips. Yoongi just smirked at her, she looked like she wanted to hit him again. "Ya don't do that!." She said and smacked his chest again. "What I didn't leave a mark." He said to her with his signature gummy smile. But he knew exactly why she was acting like that. Obviously leaving a mark was out of the question unless he wanted to see JYP again. But mostly it was due to Jihyo being shy, Yoongi was her first real boyfriend, yea she had been on dates before but they never lead to anything. Yoongi was and is her first love, it was safe to admit that. She may not have much experience but shes learning and Yoongi was nothing but a willing teacher. And let just say Jihyo was a quick learner, and he loved it. When they first kissed he was surprised to find out he wasn't her first kiss, but her first time was just merely a quick peck on the lips. Yoongi was the first person to give her a real kiss. The one that left her breathless and red. Mr tongue technology himself took it slow with Jihyo teaching her things here and there and she caught on quick there are times where she actually left him breathless after a bit of a heated session. She only experience receiving a hickey a few times from Yoongi and as amazing as it was she got into soo much trouble from her managers she didn't want it to happen again. But being the quick learner she was she gave him one in return the next time they met up and he received some backlash but only from his make up artist. But even then she was still shy about receiving or giving a hickey. Yoongi just took it all in stride and let it be if things happen then they happen he was never going to force her. He loved and respected her too much to try and go farther than what she was comfortable with. But little did he know he was in for a surprise. "Oppa I don't mind if you do it, but you have to go change." Jihyo said to him. It was starting to get annoying seeing him in the wig and outfit. She wanted to see her hot boyfriend with nice hair and his rugged style. She loved the fact that Yoongi was a bit edgy and he dressed that way too. It was so attractive to her. "Oh so you don't mind if I leave my marks on you?" He said with a cocky raise of his brow and a smirk on his lips. In case if your wondering no they haven't had sex, their relationship was still innocent, but they're make out sessions become heated here and there but he never grabbed anything he wasn't suppose to. This part of the relationship he left it up to Jihyo. So there was a time she got a bit carried away during the time when she was visiting him at the studio. She wore a button up blouse that day and she actually undid  a few buttons and let him mark more of her skin. She almost undid  a few more but Yoongi stopped her not wanting to go to far in the studio, but her neck and collarbones had marks. And she loved it, embarrassing as it is she loved it when he left marks on her just as much as she loved leaving a few of her own. But they were still idols they had to be more careful. Yoongi as patient as he is with her, loved the kissing and the marking, he was just human after all and his girlfriend was too irresistible he was scared he might take it farther than what she was ready for so he held himself back most of the time. But the fact that he hasn't seen her in person for awhile all he wanted to do was kiss and taste her. And here she was offering him to do it if he'd just go change. "Nope in fact I really miss you too oppa." Jihyo said giving him a little wink. Now she was trying to seduce him into changing, this little tease Yoongi thought to himself. He just sighed and pulled her close again. "I'll change in a bit and we can go eat whatever you brought but for now I just want some time alone with you ok." Yoongi said staring at her as she nodded her head. "Now how was your day so far baby." He asked her, when was the last time she had a day off. He didn't remeber, his day off was just a week ago, but she was busy that week. So seeing her now meant she had the day or hopefully the week off. He and the boys didn't have that packed of a schedule this week so maybe they could spend more time with each other. "It was good this morning I went to visit my family and we ate together." Jihyo said as she thought back about her morning. "I saw that, you posted a little video of you and your sister, how much cuter can you get huh " He said tickling her sides a bit causing Jihyo to laugh and squirm. "Oh you saw that oppa? " She said as she pulled her phone out of her pocket to show him more videos and pictures she had taken with her little sister. Yoongi just nodded and smiled at each of them. He already knew how cute his girlfriend was and seeing her with her little sister was no different. "Ah oppa I brought chicken and pizza, we better go if you want to eat anything." Jihyo said as she tried to move away from him a bit. Yoongi released her from his arms and watched as she fussed around him looking for his phone so they can go eat. She looked behind him and saw that Yoongi had ended up sitting on the device. "Ya your phone is expensive get up you might bend it." She said as she tried to get him to get off of the iphone. He did as she asked and she grabbed his phone and his hand and led him out of the 'classroom'. They were walking down the hall and heard the voices of his members and the filming crew when Yoongi held Jihyo back a bit. She turned to look at him, they were a few feet away from where everyone else was at when Yoongi pulled her to a stop. Now he was just standing there with an indescribable look on his face. He looked like he was contemplating some things. "Not just yet babe" He said to her, he didn't want to be in the company of other people just yet. He wanted to have just another moment with her before they went out. Jihyo looked at him curiously, just what was going through his head. She turned to stare at the end of the hall to see if anyone was close by when she felt Yoongi pressed up against her back wrapping his arms around her waist. He hugged her close and leaned his chin on her  shoulder. Her hands immediately folder over his on her stomach and she leaned back against him. "You missed me that much ? " Jihyo said as she looked at the side of Yoongi's face. He just pulled her tighter and buried his face into her shoulder and nodded. What was exactly going on with him, she wondered. They have gone a few months without seeing each other in person before due to very busy schedules. And each time he seemed to long for her even more, but she just didn't see that, she just saw him being extra affectionate with her. Despite what people think or believe Yoongi was actually very affectionate with her. When they would meet up he'd keep touching her and hug her like he craved skin ship. Most people believed that he was cold and had a stand offish personal seeing how he was around his members. But he was different around Jihyo, she brought out his soft side. " It feels like years since I saw you baby" Yoongi muttered into her shoulder. He felt her chuckle a bit. "It did felt like that huh, I missed you too how do you think I felt when I Jin oppa told me that you went to the hospital." She said and slapped his hand lightly she continued, "how can you get that injured by a door anyways I mean I'd understand if it was your fingers or hands that'd probably got injured but it was your Ear, Yoongi YOUR EAR." She said slapping at his hands again. He just chuckled and looked up at the to find her staring in his direction. He just shrugged at you and gave her another smile. "Babe I don't know either it happened so fast " he said dramatically feeling her laugh again. "Ya I was upset not seeing you at sbs award show" she said pouting slightly. "Sorry" he said to her kissing her cheek repeatedly "You missed my collab stage too." She said which caused him to stop. "Ya I watched the whole thing at home, you think I enjoy seeing you on stage with someone else." Yoongi asked her seriously. "Whats wrong with 10cm sunbaenim?" She asked "I'm not worried about them !" He said exasperatedly and continued, "I was worried about that exo member ! He kept glancing at you !" He said a bit loudly He was actually pouting a bit. MIN YOONGI WAS POUTING. I REPEAT SUGA OF BTS WAS POUTING AT HER. She started laughing at him. "Ahh you were worried about Chanyeol Oppa, he's really nice" she said grinning at the face Yoongi was making . "Oppa ?" He said a bit dangerously,  his voice low. Jihyo eyes widened, as he gave her a bit of a serious look. Oops she only thought. "Since when were you close enough to call him that ?!" Yoongi said as he stared at her. Did she really call another guy oppa ?? Jihyo turned in his arms to face him. "He asked me to call him that when we were rehearsing, please don't assume anything happened because nothing did ok." She said to Yoongi trying to reassure him. He still looked upset. "Oppa are you jealous ? " Jihyo asked him with a surprised look on her face. She started laughing again. She was surprised nobody came to check on them in the hallway with all the noise she was making. "How can I not be hes really tall and goodlooking," Yoongi said as he looked at her seriously wondering just how often they met up to rehearse. " Oppa you are too, but he's too tall and he's too much of a pretty boy," she said reasoning to him, " You're the perfect height for me." Jihyo said as she tiptoed slightly to peck his lips. Yoongi just stares at her not wanting to show how happy he was hearing that. She didn't mention rehearsing with that guy. Sunbaenim or not he knows when a guy is a bit interested in a girl he's a guy himself ! Despite his appearance at the moment. Thats how he remembered him showing interest into Jihyo. Hell a couple fans noticed him showing interest towards her throughout the different award shows they attended. Little did the fans know that YoongHyo was very much real. ( A:N I am sooo lame lol ignore me) He noticed throughout the acoustic performance Chanyeol would glance at Jihyo and he didn't blame him ! She looked like a angel in that white lace dress. But did he like it ? No he didn't, the guy was too tall and too good looking like how was that fair ? You can't give a guy both at least make him average height.  Jihyo's lips broke him out of his jealous thoughts. And Yoongi kissed her back eagerly, but she pulled back and he tried chasing her lips with his own but to no avail she leaned back and stared at him. Now that she finally had his attention she continued telling him why he shouldn't worry about Chanyeol. She only had eyes for Yoongi and who wouldn't. She loved his edgy looks and style. He had an adorable smile she loved and not to mention eyes that seemed to stare straight right through her. See Jihyo and Yoongi were polar opposites but had the same sense of humor. Where as he was blunt and straightforward she was more considerate and careful with her words. He wasn't afraid of approaching anybody where as Jihyo was on the shyer side. He liked to sit quiet and relax a bit ,Jihyo was a ball of energy.  He only cared and showed affection to those closest to him Jihyo was kind and friendly to everybody. She didn't mind his "cold and rude" persona in fact she accepted him with open arms.He didn't really like a competing but Jihyo was competitive and was always up for a challenge.Yoongi was a rapper and Jihyo was singer. Jihyo was literally the only person that could put with him and his personality. He had a bit of a sharp tongue and she was clever enough to always put him in his place. She may be shy and kind but she was no way a pushover. At some points their personalities crashed, but they always brought out the best in each other. Where they had many differences they were alike in many ways. They were both meticulous and efficient.  They both loved music with a passion and had similar taste in music. They enjoyed the same foods. They enjoyed just walking and enjoying the scenery. Yoongi made her feel safe and loved and Jihyo made him feel wanted and at peace. Cheesy as it may sound but she chased the demons away from his thoughts. She made him feel less anxious. He calmed her when she worried at pointless things and reassured her that she was always doing a good job with Twice. He was her protector and guider where as Jihyo was his warmth and comfort. They complimented each other in many ways. And they both loved each other dearly and only had eyes for each other. She leaned closer to him and said," yes he may be handsome but I don't like the pretty boys, I like them a bit edgy." Yoongi grinned at her, he was lucky to have a girl like Jihyo. She was honestly perfect in his eyes. She gave him another kiss and then untangled herself from his arms and grabbed his hand to lead him back to the others. Everyone was eating and talking. Jihyo's manager was having a conversation with Bangtans manager.  The filming crew was either eating or finishing some last minute work. They all didn't pay the couple no mind when they walked passed everyone. The boys were all in the dressing room eating and talking when the couple walked in with the stylist noona behind them. Yoongi was led straight to the mirror by Jihyo and she turned to him and crossed her arm raising her brows at him. "What?" He asked her confusingly "Hurry and change hyung Jihyo must be annoyed looking at you, we all are," Jungkook said laughing with the others. "Ya just because I rejected all of you." He retorted only causing more laughter. "Sit Yoongi ah don't you want to show your handsome side to your girlfriend." The stylist said pushing him in the chair and walking around to get her things. "Ah oppa I want a picture with you." Jihyo said unexpectedly and pulled out her phone. Yoongi just gave her another blank stare and as she turned to the front camera she leaned into him slightly and smiled but he didn't. "Oppa pleaseee just one picture please." Jihyo said turning to look at him and pouting slightly. He sighed he could never deny her when she was pouting so cutely. She was going to be the death of him someday. Jihyo gave a sound of happiness and gave him a kiss on the cheek which she took a picture of. "Ya why don't you just take a normal one." Yoongi said as he saw the picture on the screen. It was a funny sight, he really did look like his aunt. Jihyo laughed and leaned in to take another one but when the camera snapped to take one he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Yoongi heard the protest of his members around the room. "Oppa you said you wanted a normal one." She said giggling and she showed him this picture. But he only blanched at it, where she found the picture cute and hilarious he didn't. They had plenty of pictures together and of course of some of the couple kissing or giving each other kisses. His home screen was a picture of her sitting on his lap while he kissed her on the cheek. Those pictures were cute and couplely this one looked like his aunt was kissing Jihyo and the image frightened him a bit. "Ok a normal one go ahead." He said to her and she leaned into him again and threw up the v sign and he just gave small smile to the camera. She snapped the pic and showed it to him. Yoongi just nodded his approval and the stylist came back with his normal clothes and handed to him so she could work on his hair. She took the wig off and then the wig cap. Jihyo just looked on at him, there was her good looking boyfriend. The stylist then handed Yoongi makeup remover wipes so he could wipe down while she fixed his hair. The stylist didn't really do much but combed it out considering the boys didn't have any other schedules today. The stylist left after she was done with her task. Yoongi who was done wiping the make up off stood to go change caught the sight of Jihyo staring at him with her arms crossed. "What ?" He said to her she just shrugged and said," Oppa you make a really pretty girl, I loved the lip tint you were wearing." She said teasingly. He just smiled at her and teased back "I could steal all of Twice's popularity if I debuted." He teased which caused her to snort. "I said you were pretty but you aren't that pretty to be in Twice." She said "Ohh so what do I have to do to be Twice's 10th member" he retorted. "Well prettier hair, you need to have natural aegyo, because you don't really have chic or sexy look." She said jokingly " Ya " he said to her and he heard his member snickering. "Hmm now that I see you without the extra makeup you'd be a plain girl" Jihyo said teasingly. "You called me handsome just earlier." He said not believing what he was hearing, the boys were all laughing loudly at this point. " You'd have to dance really well and with natural aeygo to be in Twice" Jihyo said offhandedly. " I can dance well" Yoongi retorted "Dance well for bangtan's concept but can you do it with natural aegyo." She said raising her brows at him. "I did the neomuhae just awhile ago." He said then proceeded to show her "Neomhae" he said doing the move pouting at her, she just laughed and shook her head. "Noo not like that" Jihyo said then did the threw her arms out to the sides and tucked them in towards her armpit and pouted at him saying 'Neomuhae' in a cute voice. Wow she looked adorable. "I did the same thing" he said and did the moves again. Which just caused her to laugh and his members to yell at him. "Ya its not the same," Jin said "It really does look different" J-hope said with a laugh. "Ya how can the same moves look so different" Namjoon said causing another round of laughter . "Hyung you have no aegyo." Jimin said laughing along with V Jungkook just laughed laying on the couch like he was dying. "Does it really look that different." Yoongi said to his members. Jihyo who was laughing calmed down enough to give him an answer. "Yes Oppa just don't do it again." She said holding back another laugh. "Ya, fine I'm gonna go change." He said gathering up his clothes and walking behind a dressing screen. They were still laughing at him while he was changing. Jihyo sat on one of the empty chairs and started conversing with the boys. "How is your schedule Jihyo, it seems like you get busier everyday." Jin asked her as he handed her a water bottle. "Yeah the girls and I are a bit busy but we did take some time off." She said as she took a sip. "I see you girls in quite a few CFs, you think Bangtan and Twice should have a collab cf ?" Namjoon said "Ohh that'll be so much fun" J-hope said "Yea it would be plus we could all hang out with each other again." Jungkook said. " How are the other Twice members doing Jihyo." Taehyung asked. "They're doing great schedules are busy as usual but its fine." Jihyo replied then she looked excited bout something. "I actually have a special news guys," she said looking very excited bouncing in her seat slightly. Yoongi came back from behind the screen fully dressed. "What news " he said standing to her side . Jihyo stood up and offered him the seat he tried to refuse but she insisted so he sat but seeing as there was no other seat he pulled her into his lap and she gasped. "Oppa " she said a bit loudly the other members laughed a bit they shook it off and just accepted that the couple missed each other, they'd let them be affectionate for now. As long as Yoongi behaved, he just wrapped his arms around her waste and reached for a slice pizza. Jihyo was blushing, never had she sat on his lap in front of company they usually did that in private but now Yoongi just seemed like he didn't care about their audience he would never do this in front of them. She was so embarrassed but the members didn't pay any mind to them. "What did you have to say Jihyo." Jungkook said distracting her from being shy. "Ahh you guys you won't believe it" she said excitedly "What happen" Jimin said everyone was patiently waiting for her. "Twice is gonna have out first ever solo concert" she said happily. The boys all looked at her in surprised. A 1 year old groups is already having their first solo concert. "Waaaaah Congrats Jihyo-ah " Jin said clapping for as the rest of the boys did. "Seriously congratulations Jihyo and good luck." Namjoon said "Waaaaaaaaah Jihyo ahh where are you guys having the concert?" J-hope said excited with the girl. "Yeah are you guys planning to go overseas." Taehyung asked. "Hmm so far the company said Korea tour first then maybe it can continue overseas." She said looking thoughtful. "Thats really good Jihyo I hope you guys do well" Jungkook said. "Yea Babe thats really good." Yoongi said to her and she smiled brightly at him. "I'm really excited I hope a lot of Once's can come" she said "They will Twice is very popular" Jin said. " When are you guys planning to release the news" Jimin asked " The company is gonna announce it next week." Jihyo said " Have you guys started preparing ? " J-hope asked. "Yea we have thats why we have a bit more free time we aren't filming as much cf now, we're just doing variety show and fansigns. "Goodluck to you and your members Jihyo ah you guys will do great" Taehyung said. "I am so excited, I can't wait to see the sea of candybongs I hope many people will go." She said clapping her hands. "Many people will go ok don't worry about that" Yoongi said to her. "Do you think me and the girls will do well Oppa" she asked him "I know you guys will, they have a great leader to lead them." He said smiling up at her and she smiled back at him the boys to all snicker at Yoongi cute words to her. He glared at them but he looked back at her when he felt her hands on his face. "Thank you oppa" Jihyo said to Him and in plain view she Kissed Yoongi full on the lips causing the boys to groan. And Yoongi just smiled at his girlfriend revenge for him. Yeah Park Jihyo is the girl for him. ******************************************** Just a quick oneshot follow me on IG: @minziee97
