I love your work! you have such a fun take on yandere's and I would love to see what kind of yandere hcs you could cook up for a host-club / paid to go on dates with you yandere ❤️ double points if you can make it so that the reader is never really one to cross a line or think the yandere really likes them...
If you don't want to do this prompt tho I completely understand ❤️
The idea makes me a little nostalgic as it gives me Ouran vibes. Also reminded me I've never played 'Men of Yoshiwara' past the prologue, which also has male courtesans ready to service you. In any case, it's definitely something I can expand on! :)
Yandere! Host x Reader
You've never considered yourself to be the type frequenting host clubs. Yet the loneliness is becoming noticeable and perhaps it's your lack of experience keeping you out of the dating scene. Mingling with paid professionals could prepare you for a future boyfriend. Except your assigned host has other plans in mind for you.

Ah, you definitely don't belong here. He can tell within seconds and he hasn't even reached the table yet. You're nervously readjusting the sleeves of your shirt - do you usually not wear such outfits? - and merely glance around the room for a brief moment before casting your eyes back down in sheepish modesty. Well, not necessarily a sight of unpreceded novelty. Many people are intrigued by the idea of a host club, so even just idle curiosity is enough incentive for one to end up among the charismatic crowd of paid affections. Today it's you who has stumbled into the hungry mouth of the wolf, and he happens to be the one to entertain you away from whatever unpleasantries are currently consuming you.
He gently stretches his slender fingers across your shoulder, a feathery touch light enough as to not startle you. You look up and acknowledge his presence, ready to stand up for introductions. His hold on you is firm, letting you know there is no need to leave the comfort of your sofa. "Now then, this isn't a job interview. You don't need to be so formal." He explains with a chuckle. You nod. Embarrassingly enough, your eyes are glued to his face for longer than what you'd consider polite admiration. A waste of good looks is your immediate thought. Surely someone as stunning as him could've worked as a model or actor. You suspect he isn't as enthusiastic to meet you as his voice leads one to believe, so the ability to pretend certainly isn't missing.
One peek at the table next to you, and the answer quickly presents itself. An older woman is inspecting the menu, surrounded by multiple bottles of champagne whose name even you recognize. You doubt the average acting career could provide this amount of luxury. The corners of your lips curl slightly upwards in a pitiful self awareness. Sadly for this guy, you're not a big spender. Whether he, too, is aware of this disappointing fact is impossible to tell. His handsome features remain cheerfully relaxed. "Tell me about yourself. What brings a darling like you here?" He inquires graciously, resting his chin on the back of his hands as he settles before you with an intent gaze.
You narrate your hardship: whether because of your looks or your awkwardness, something impedes you from having acquired a partner; and so the idea of gaining experience through less orthodox means came to fruition. Your host listens carefully, refilling your glass every now and then with a compassionate frown, lips parted in unspoken sympathy. Of course, he understands. Naturally. Once you're finished, he straightens himself in newfound determination: worry not, he will be your coach in love.
Thus begins the unusual partnership. You hadn't expected the man to readily agree to such a ridiculous request. A handful of visits have made it clear to you he's in high demand, most likely one of the top earners. Why would he waste his precious (and otherwise profitable) time with a humble customer like you? Maybe it's bad form to refuse lower paid offers too often, so he's keeping you for balance. You'll never know. His professionalism betrays no hint of annoyance.
You cannot help but marvel at his masterful lying. It becomes quite clear to you why so many people fall helplessly in love with paid hosts. Everything is executed with the utmost care for detail. The loving caress of the cheek he occasionally initiates, seemingly unprompted. The long, ardent stares into your eyes, as you must practice your eye contact. His hot lips brushing against your fingers while he spoils you with diminutives and sickly sweet words of appreciation.
You frequently have to remind yourself that everything is dictated by a contract. A code of conduct meant to be replicated for you and all other clients coming afterwards. How many other poor souls fawn over this alluring devil? You wouldn't want to burden him with an additional customer who forgets boundaries. You know your place too well.
Admirable manners. Frustratingly so. He wishes you'd just give in already and drop the shy act around him. You've caught his interest from the moment he spotted you in that cluttered, crowded room reeking of overpriced alcohol and solitude. Everything about you signaled blindingly clear: you're someone others can easily take advantage of. To think you would've landed right in his hands, to be molded as he pleases. The little sob story about being inexperienced with men, your clumsy attempts to follow along his flirts. Oh, you're just begging to be defiled. Again, and again and again, until there's nothing left of you. Then he'd caringly patch you back together and start anew. His very own corner of innocence.
The indecent daydreams are cut short when you proudly announce, during one of your dates, that you finally feel confident enough to pursue a genuine partner. You have booked a nice hotel room for this occasion; One last gesture of grandeur to show your gratitude for all the advice and love (even though it wasn't genuine). He's sitting on the edge of the plush mattress, dumbfounded, fiddling with the thick, ornate border of the bed runner. Huh? What the hell are you talking about? He's spent all this time getting to know you. What gets you flustered and bothered, what makes you excited, sad, anxious, angry, bored. He taught you how to come out of your shell. Why, so you can go ahead and waste yourself on some fucking idiot?
"My, aren't you eager. You haven't even had your first kiss." He says with a cheeky smile. "I think I can manage-" you want to say, but he quickly interrupts with a curt: "No one likes an amateur kisser". You're immediately silenced. His voice sounds cold, with a hint of anger in it. "I'm sorry, darling love, it's true." He resumes in an entirely different tonality, dragging his words with an eerie kindness attached to them. He tuts a little, turning towards you and patting his knees. There, there, don't look so deflated. If a simple observation like his hurt you this much, how would you handle the much meaner, downright heartless world out there?
Such is reality. Men are cruel and you had the bad luck to be born with a gentle heart. He delicately guides you to sit in his lap, cupping your burning face between his large hands. He knows this expression too well - you're humiliated. And thus, can he truly allow anyone else out there to see you so vulnerable like this? No, this kind of intimacy is reserved for him. You must understand. He has disciplined you to his liking, and simultaneously learned all the nooks and crannies of your being. It's too late to go back to a simple host and client relationship.
"Why don't you practice with me first, love?" He breaks the silence, placing his lips against your forehead in encouragement. You feel a sudden pressure faintly throbbing underneath you. "T-the kiss?" You ask hesitantly, trying to ignore the sensation and squirming in his tightening hold.
"Everything."

series masterlist
-
Steve lied. 
He lied again. 
It’s something he hasn’t done in a while. 
He promised himself to never do it again, knowing how much damage it had caused in the past, in both relationships that he had. 
This lie is harmless, though. At least, he thinks that it is. 
He spent the day with Robin and Dustin, they had surprised him with a homemade birthday cake that Robin had made with Chrissy’s help, it would’ve been a cute one, had Dustin not ruined it with his Star Wars decorations. Lucas and Max showed up as well, ‘surprising’ him by throwing a bunch of balloons and confetti at him. 
They made him blow out the candles, before forcing him to open all the presents. Dustin’s present was not surprising, at all. A Star Wars movie collection. Lucas had given him a keychain, with a little basketball pendant. Max acted all careless as always, shrugging it off when he gave her a kind smile and a ‘thank you’, yet, she gave him one of the best presents, a collection of polaroids of him with the teens, with Robin and even you, along with new records, claiming that he needs to expand his music taste. He has yet to unwrap Robin’s presents. 
They ate cake, went to the movies and the diner. And afterwards, Steve drove everyone home. Robin didn’t believe him when he said that he made plans with his parents for the evening, that they’d come home to spend his birthday with him. She was suspicious, not buying the lies he was feeding her with, Steve could tell but she had no choice but to say goodbye when he dropped her off at home, he really didn’t want her to stay longer than she had to, he wanted to be alone, by himself. So, when she begrudgingly got out of the car and gave him a sad smile, he gave her a cheerful one back, pretending to be happy when he was feeling anything but it. 
He didn’t go home. He knew that his parents wouldn’t come and he couldn’t stand the thought of staying in that big house, all by himself, tonight. He drove past your street, as well, fighting the urge to go and see you. 
There is only one place he knew he would find peace at. The Hideout. 
Now, he is sitting here, in the corner of the bar, with a drink that he had bought with his fake ID, soon he won’t have to use it anymore. With his head hung low, he lets his mind go to places that he had avoided all day. Dark thoughts that hold nothing but heartbreak and loneliness. He doesn’t feel miserable, just really fucking sad. He has people who care about him, friends who love him, people he now considers family. And yet, he still feels lonelier than ever. 
He looks around the bar, it’s not very crowded, it never is. Maybe on weekends, but never during the week. Rock music plays in the back, he hears the chatter of a group of young men by the bar, they’re laughing, throwing back drinks – they are clearly having a great time. For a while, Steve watches them. How they laugh with each other, how they all look so carefree and happy. He doesn’t even know what it feels like to feel that way anymore, to have fun and be happy without ruining everything with his actions in the matter of just a few minutes. 
He sighs, leaning back in the chair, he looks down at his drink, that lately he started to find more and more comfort in. 
The door opens but he doesn’t bother to look up, not caring about whoever it is that walked through the door. He is so focused on the miserable feeling inside his chest, the tearing, the longing, the yearning, the hurt. 
Before his mind can react, his heart is already fluttering when he hears your voice. He raises his head, eyes finding you immediately. You’re here. You’re here with Eddie. And you look more beautiful than ever. You’re wearing a black dress and the dark denim jacket that he was cursing at, last year when he had yet to find out who it belonged to. Your hair is falling softly in waves, your lips are glowing a soft pink beneath the dim light, you’re giggling, slapping Eddie’s arm playfully when he whispers something in your ear.
His eyes soften, despite you being here with him, giggling at him, he can’t help but smile when he finally sees you again. It’s only been a few weeks since he had properly seen you, yet, it seems like forever.
When your eyes find him and your giggles die down, your smile falls and your eyes widen. He freezes. Not knowing how to react or what to do. Not only have you caught him staring, you have also caught him lying. Again. You were the first person he lied to about his birthday plans. He looks away with a blush on his cheeks, his hand grip the glass tighter, he inwardly curses himself out for coming here, tonight. 
“It’s his birthday, right?” Eddie mumbles behind you. 
“Yeah,” you whisper in confusion. “He told me that he would spend his birthday with his parents..” 
Eddie looks away from you and back at Steve. He sits there, looking crestfallen. His shoulders are slumped, his face etched with sadness, he can see it, even from a distance. The sight of him sitting there so lonely and sad is pitiful. Eddie knows what he feels like, at this moment. His dad never cared about him, not even on his birthdays, he never even bothered to give him a call from wherever he was currently living or staying at. 
But, Eddie has Wayne, he always had Wayne. Steve doesn’t. He doesn’t have anyone who looks after him. He is all by himself. 
“I guess they didn’t come,” you mumble with sadness and a hint of disappointment in your voice. “They never do.”
“Robin told me that he was acting weird when he dropped her off earlier.” 
Despite his dislike for him, he can’t help but feel bad for Steve. The people he wants the most, aren’t in his life. 
His parents are gone. 
You are gone. 
Steve had changed. As much as he doesn’t want to admit it, Eddie can see that he has changed for the better. That he isn’t the guy who hurt you, who left you standing on your birthday, who broke your heart and left you for someone else. He isn’t that guy anymore. Had he still been that guy, Eddie wouldn’t even bother to look at him twice and feel any ounce of pity for him but now, things are different. He is different. In a way, it scares Eddie, because he knows that he now has a chance for a second try, with you. 
“Do you think he’s here by himself?”
You shrug, looking away from Steve, you turn towards Eddie, “yeah.” 
You feel the little item in your pocket, the one that suddenly feels too heavy, the one you itch to reach for and give it to the one you got it for.
Eddie looks down at you, at the sadness in your eyes. For once, it doesn’t make him feel frustrated or annoyed to see you be so sad for someone who hurt you. 
“No one should be alone on their birthday,” Eddie mumbles.  
“Yeah,” you sigh, looking down at your hands. “But, I-I guess it’s what he wanted, he could’ve spent time with Robin.”
“He was with her before, wasn’t he?” 
“Yeah.”
Eddie sighs. There is hesitation in your voice and in your eyes.
“Do you want to spend time with him?” He asks, already feeling the dread tugging in his chest, knowing that the night won’t go the way he wanted it to.
For a moment, you stare into Eddie’s brown eyes, there’s a kindness in them, kindness for him. That is something so rare. 
“Uh, I’m sure he wants to be alone.”
Eddie knows you. Eddie knows what you want, right now. But, you are hesitating out of fear of upsetting him. 
“Sweetheart,” he whispers, placing his finger under your chin, tilting your head up. “I won’t get angry. If you want to spend time with him tonight, we can cancel our plans and you can go be with him.” He nudges his chin into Steve’s directions. “I don’t like him but, shit, even I can’t stand the fucking kicked puppy look that he’s sporting, right now.” 
You eye his face. Even through the sadness for Steve, the smile for you, you can see the slight fear in his eyes. The fear that any moment with you, will be his last one before you find your way back to Steve, before you say goodbye to a friendship that might’ve saved your life. But even through the fear, he still wants the best for you, he still wants what you want. 
“I think he wants to be alone,” you repeat.
Eddie looks over your shoulder to see him staring at you. 
“Nah, I don’t think so.”
You sigh, shaking your head. 
“What if we all hang out together?” 
“Sweetheart, I don’t think that Steve would be happy to spend time with me–”
“Please, Eddie,” you whisper, mustering up the best puppy eyes and a pout that he can never say no to. “We can just have fun together, you’ve never met drunk Steve before, he can be funny – unless he decides to break your heart but, that won’t happen to you, don’t worry,” you giggle. 
He raises his brows at you, surprised that you are making a joke about that. 
“You go buy us drinks and I’ll go convince him to spend time with us. We can just all get drunk together, maybe you’ll finally get along,” you shrug, giving him a sheepish smile, you place your hands on his chest, pushing him towards the bar, not taking no for an answer. 
“I don’t think it’ll take much convincing,” he snorts. As though you would ever have to convince Steve to spend time with you. Eddie is certain that all it takes is a glance from you and that man is already by your side, you got Steve wrapped around your finger, just like him, and you don’t even know it. 
You turn on your heel, not waiting for a response from Eddie. You make your way over to Steve, whose head is still hung low. Your heart thumps a little faster in your chest when you inch closer and closer to him. You push your hand into your pocket, reaching for the tiny bag that you had taken with you earlier when you considered dropping by his house. 
You stop in front of him, taking a shaky breath as you place the small bag on the table, sliding it towards him. 
“Happy birthday, Steve,” you whisper.
His wide eyes stare at the bag, the tiny jewelry pouch that clearly holds a present inside for him. His eyes soften, staring at your ringed fingers that linger next to his hand for a moment. 
He looks up, slowly. Hazel eyes flashing with softness when they meet yours. You stare at him with a shy smile, sadness lingering in your pretty eyes. His heart flutters so strongly, he longs to touch you. 
“Thank you,” he whispers, giving you a smile. “W-What’s that?” He asks, pointing to his present without tearing his eyes from you. 
“I got you a little present. I-It’s nothing special just, I just wanted to get you something. You don’t have to open it now, just uh–”
“Y/n,” he smiles, interrupting your rambling, “you didn’t even have to get me anything but I appreciate it, I will love it.” 
“You don’t even know what it is.”
“Yeah but it’s from you, so, I will love it, dolly.” 
A smile appears on your face, you nod slowly, whispering a small ‘okay’. You know that Steve always loved to keep certain presents for last, so you’re not surprised to see him tucking it into the pocket of his jeans. 
“Your parents didn’t come?” 
He looks down, holding the glass tighter, he shakes his head, unable to bear the pitiful look on your face. 
“Oh.”
“It’s okay,” he whispers before you can say ‘I'm sorry, steve.’ He doesn’t want you to pity him. 
“No, it’s not. You shouldn’t be alone.” 
“I-I wasn’t alone, I was with Robin all day and the kids–”
“But, now you are.”
He raises his head to look at you. And, before he can even say anything, his words get caught in his throat when he looks at you. Your eyes are glistening, not with tears and sadness, but with something else, something he cannot read. You look at him differently than you did weeks ago, not in a way that scares him or breaks him but, in a way, that only leaves him with one too many questions. He struggles to read you, to understand you. It’s like he can no longer see through you the way he could before. Nonetheless, he feels so calm and safe in your presence and he wants this moment to last forever. 
“Right now, I’m not, though. You’re here.”
You smile at his words. 
“Yeah, I’m here.” 
When Eddie appears by your side, Steve tries not to let his smile fall. 
Right. He is here too. 
“Happy Birthday, man.”
To Steve’s surprise, he sees Eddie not with two but three shots in his hands, he places them all on the table. Grinning at him in a way he can’t tell whether it’s a kind one or a sarcastic one. 
“Thanks,” Steve nods at him. 
Eddie pulls the chair back for you, you smile at him, taking the seat across from Steve. Eddie sits down beside you, leaving Steve with a questioning look on his face as he looks between the two of you. 
“W-What?”
“You think we’re gonna let you spend the night alone, Harrington?” 
Steve looks at Eddie in confusion, hearing these words not from yours but from his mouth leaves him more puzzled than ever. Eddie spending time with him willingly? He purses his lips, squinting his eyes as he turns to look at you. You smile at him, shrugging. You slide one of the shots towards him. 
“I mean, I thought that we could spend this night together,” you say, smiling with hope in your eyes. “Or we can leave if that’s what you–”
“No, I-I want to.”
He looks between you two, giving Eddie an awkward smile. 
“Cool! Let’s drink, then.” 
“Yeah, let’s drink,” he chuckles as he ditches his glass of whiskey for the shot of whatever Eddie had ordered. 
“When’s the last time you got drunk?” You ask them both. 
“Oh man,” Eddie mumbles, leaning back in his seat, he puts his arm on the back of your chair. “I don’t even remember, it’s been a while. What about you, sweetheart?” 
“Uh, well, I had a cocktail night with the girls, a few weeks ago,” you say, giggling. “Oh, also at a party.”
You and Eddie look at each other, he instantly knows what party you are talking about when he sees the amused look on your face. He chuckles, though he instantly gets taken back that night. When you showed up with that stolen bat plushie, when you told him how much you missed him, when you told him that you wished you met him first. 
Steve looks between you two, a sinking feeling in his stomach takes place. There are things you share with Eddie, things that he will never know about because he isn’t in his place anymore. 
“I knew it! I knew you were lying to me, Dingus!” 
Startled by the voice, all three of you snap your heads towards the angry girl walking towards the three of you with a frown on her face, pointing her finger at Steve. 
Steve’s eyes widen, “I can explain.” 
Something about the anger on Robin’s face and the panic in Steve’s features makes you giggle.
Robin slaps the back of his head, lightly. 
“Ouch! Robin!”
“You are such a–”
“Dingus, yeah yeah, I know.” 
Eddie laughs at that, smirking at Steve who throws him a glare.
“You think that’s funny, Munson?” 
Eddie leans back with a satisfied grin, “actually yeah.”
Robin plops down in the seat next to Steve, still staring at him with a frown on her face. 
“Why did you lie to me? Why are you here?” 
Steve sighs, scratching the back of his neck as he gives her a sheepish smile. 
“And what are you two doing here?” She asks, turning to look at you and Eddie. 
“Came here for a couple of drinks and then we found this sad puppy,” Eddie mumbles, pointing at Steve. 
Steve rolls his eyes, mumbling a few incoherent words under his breath. 
“We just asked him to spend the night with us.” 
Robin gives you a surprised look before her eyes move back to Eddie, who, doesn’t look as enthusiastic about this whole thing as you do. 
“How did you even know I was here?” 
Robin leans her elbow on the table, tilting her head at Steve, “well, I was craving some burgers and my favorite driver was apparently at a birthday dinner so I couldn’t ask him to drive me, so I walked, imagine my surprise when I saw a certain BMW standing in front of The Hideout.”
“Robin–”
“No! Don’t Robin me! Why’d you lie?” 
Steve didn’t want her to feel like it’something she had to do, hang out with him, spend his birthday with him because there’s no one else for him other than her. He doesn’t want her to do anything out of pity for him. 
He doesn’t feel comfortable to talk about it in front of Eddie or even you, knowing that you pity him the most. You always did and he hated it. A part of him always thought that that’s why you were with him, because you pitied him, the sad boy who was always abandoned by his own parents, because you knew he had no one else that cared about him, that loved him. So you stayed, you stayed even when you shouldn’t have.
Even now, you look at him with those big sad eyes with that look of pity in them. 
“Robin,” you warn when you notice how uncomfortable he looks, how he clenches his jaw and bites his lip.
Eddie senses the tension, the looks you are giving Robin, the way she is ignoring you because she desperately wants an explanation from Steve. 
“Lay off, Robin. Maybe he just wanted to get a few drinks and not deal with your annoying ass,” he says to her with a grin. 
She flips him off, rolling her eyes at him. 
“Just relax, here, take my shot and drink it, you need it, Robin,” you say, sliding the shot glass towards her. 
She turns towards the two of you, shaking her head with squinted eyes, “you’re both pretty rude.” 
“So are you, Robby.”
“Ew,” she scrunches her face up at Eddie, “don’t fucking call me Robby.”
“I’m gonna keep calling you that, if you don’t stop being so rude to sad birthday boy over there.” 
Steve sighs, running his hand down his face. 
“Can you just call me Steve, dude?” 
You giggle at the annoyed look on his face. 
Eddie grins, “okay, Steve.” 
“Not like that.” 
“Like what?” 
“Like you’re mocking me!” Steve exclaims. 
“How am I mocking you, Steve?” 
Steve scoffs, shaking his head, “see, you’re doing it again!”
“Oh my god, shut the hell up!” Robin slams her hands against the table, truly, shutting them both up. “Eddie, get me a drink.” 
Both Steve and Eddie look at her as though she had grown two heads, while you giggle at her little outburst. 
“That was an order.” 
“Damn girl,” Eddie whistles, getting up from his chair, “you need more than one drink,” he mumbles as he walks off. 
“You are both two immature idiots,” she groans, burying her hands in her hair. 
“You are so mean to me,” Steve mumbles, looking at her in disbelief, “and that on my birthday!” 
A smile tugs at your lips, you look between them, chuckling at the way she rolls her eyes at him. 
“You know what, I really need a few drinks.” 
“Wait, are we actually doing this?” Steve asks, gesturing to the shots on the table. 
“What, getting drunk?” 
He nods at you. 
“Yeah. Just like old times, right?” You smile at him in a way you always used to. 
“Just like old times.” 
His eyes suddenly flash with amusement, he snorts, “do you remember my fifteenth birthday?” 
Your eyes widen as a giggle falls from your lips. 
“Of course I remember!”
Robin’s eyes flash with curiosity. There’s things she doesn’t know about yours and his friendship, things neither you or Steve had talked about yet. 
“Wait, what happened on your fifteenth birthday?” 
Your eyes light up with excitement, you lean closer to the table, looking at Steve, waiting for him to tell the story. 
He chuckles at the look on your face before he turns his body towards Robin. 
“We stole my dad’s super expensive wine, he was supposed to take it to some event – I got in so much trouble for that, by the way,” he says to you. 
“I know, I know. Keep going, Steve.”
“Alright, so, we stole that wine bottle. We played a drinking game, kept passing that bottle back and forth until we were fucking hammered,” he says, chuckling as he thinks back to that day in his backyard. The way you giggled at anything he said, the way you danced and ran around barefoot on the grass, the way you jumped in his pool, fully clothed, the way he hugged you when you were both in the water.
“This crazy girl over there started to cannon ball into my pool–” 
You giggle at the memory. 
“She did it over and over again and it looked so fun so I joined her. Honestly, it was pretty fun but I had half a bottle of wine and ate a whole pizza before that.” 
“Oh,” Robin scrunches her face up, already seeing where this is going. 
Steve can’t even fight the smile off his lips, his eyes crinkle, his cheeks flush and he giggles, “we’re in the pool, having the best time of our lives, right? And, fifteen year old me apparently thought that it was a good idea to kiss my best friend, but I totally missed her lips and kissed her nose and she fucking laughed at me, but I wanted to try again. I lean in when I suddenly feel the urge to throw up.” 
“Oh, ew! Stop!” 
“He threw up in the pool, Robin!”
“That’s so disgusting!” She whines, trying to get the image of Steve puking into the pool out of her head, “you don’t have any better stories to tell?” 
You and Steve can’t help but laugh harder at her reaction. 
“I mean the kiss on the nose is fucking embarrassing, Steve. But throwing up in front of her afterwards?” 
“I thought it was funny,” you giggle. 
“What is funny?” Eddie asks when he comes back with two drinks for Robin, placing them on the table and sliding them towards her before he sits down beside you again. 
“Trust me, you don’t wanna know,” Robin says with a look of disgust on her face. 
“I don’t?” He asks, glancing at you and how amused you look. 
“No, you really don’t.”
“Okay,” he snorts. 
He glances at Steve, grinning at him, “hey dude, I got a birthday present for you.” 
All three of you turn to look at Eddie in surprise, watching him in curiosity when he raises his hand, reaching for something in the pocket of his dark flannel. He picks out a joint, tossing it at Steve who catches it with one hand. 
He laughs at that, raising one brow, giving Eddie a smile, “I do appreciate this, it’s kind of expensive nowadays.” 
“Is it expensive?” You ask, turning to Eddie, “you always give me some for free.” 
Eddie’s lips curl into a smile, he lifts his hand towards your face, tapping your nose with his finger, “well, you’re my best friend.” 
Steve keeps his eyes down, not wanting to look between you and Eddie. 
You smile at the way Eddie looks at you, the way his eyes glisten, the way his cheeks are always a little red, the way–
“Do you guys wanna smoke this?” Steve asks, cutting the voice in your head. 
“Here?” 
He chuckles at Robin, “of course not. We could go back to my place, my parents aren’t home, anyways.”
To Eddie’s surprise, he not only directs these words at you and Robin, he also directs them at him. 
“Uh, I’d love to!” Robin grins. 
Steve gives you a hopeful smile, one that makes it impossible to say no to him. 
“Me too.” 
At that, his eyes light up and his smile grows bigger. 
“Sure, let’s do it.”
“We’ll have to walk though,” Robin gestures to the drink Steve already had, “cause you can’t drive and I don’t have a license.”
He shrugs, “we can take Eddie’s van and I’ll get my car tomorrow morning.” 
“Uh, no,” Eddie mumbles, scratching the back of his neck, “my uncle took my van cause his car is at the shop, we walked here.” 
Steve sighs, “shit.” 
“But you could let me drive, I didn’t have anything yet,” Eddie smirks, pointing to the untouched shots. 
Steve snorts at him with a deep glare, “uh, yeah, keep dreaming, Munson,” he mumbles as he leans back, reaching for the keys in his pockets, you all watch him curiously. “The only one who’s allowed to drive my car is dolly.” 
Robin raises her brows in surprise when Steve chucks his keys at you that you quickly catch, looking down at them with a dumbfounded expression before your eyes light up and you look up, beaming at Steve. 
“Okay, let’s go,” you smile, excitedly as you play with the car keys. You scoot back, getting up from the chair. Robin knocks back one shot before she gets up as well. Steve and Eddie glance at the four untouched shots on the table and then, their eyes meet, they both shrug at each other and reach for two shots, each. 
Robin pats Steve’s shoulder, chuckling when he knocks one back and then the other, grimacing at the strong taste. 
You giggle at Eddie, who looks unfazed by the bitter taste. 
“Let’s go, ladies and.. Steve,” he grins. 
“Dude.”
“Don’t start this again,” Robin warns, pointing at them both before she rushes over to you, wrapping her arm around your shoulder, she grins, “us ladies, ride in the front, and you two can cuddle in the back,” she winks at them, pulling you away with a giggle. 
-
After an eventful ride to Steve’s house and a few shots of tequila, you all settled in his backyard, each of you occupying one of the many loungers around the pool. Passing around the joint that Eddie had given Steve as a ‘birthday gift’. You are sipping on a drink that Steve has made for you, coke mixed with his dad’s expensive whiskey. You are pretty sure that you will regret the amount of alcohol and weed you are having tonight, when you wake up tomorrow morning. But the floaty and giddy feeling you are experiencing right now, will have to make up for it. 
Steve is sitting on the lounger beside you, a can of beer in his hand, his lips wrapped around the joint that is already stained with your lipstick. A spitcurl is hanging in front of his eyes, he doesn’t bother to push it away. He shakes his head at something Robin had said to him, something you didn’t even hear because you were too busy letting your eyes skip back and forth between him and the curly haired metalhead who now left his lounger to be closer to you. 
Eddie wraps his hands around your calves, stroking your skin softly with his ringed fingers as he places your feet on his lap. He does it all without breaking his conversation with Robin. Though he feels the goosebumps on your skin, he hears the breath that hitched in your throat when he touched you. He hides his smirk behind his drink as he takes a sip of the cold beer.
Steve clenches his jaw as he looks between you and Eddie. The way he continues to stroke your calf, the way he smirks at your reaction, the way you are blushing, biting your lip as you look down at the hand touching your skin. 
He forces himself to look away, turning back to Robin, he offers her the joint. 
“Thanks,” she mumbles, giggling when she almost doubles over as she reaches for the joint. 
“Already hammered and we haven’t even played a drinking game yet, tsk,” Eddie shakes his head, giving her a playful grin. 
With an eye roll, she gets up, placing the joint between her lips as she sits down next to Steve. 
“A drinking game, huh? What kind? ‘Never have I ever’? Okay,” She grins at him without giving him a chance to reply. “Never have I ever had a girlfriend,” she smirks, teasing him. 
Steve licks his lips, chuckling at Eddie, who nods at her with an annoyed look on his face. 
You raise your eyebrows, “why are you teasing him, I never had a girlfriend, either,” you shrug. 
“Yeah but you had a boyfriend,” she mumbles, nudging Steve’s shoulder. 
Eddie tilts his head at you, looking you up and down with a smirk, “do you want one?” 
“A girlfriend?” You ask as you raise the glass to your lips, shrugging, “I don’t know, I never thought about it but kissing girls is fun, so.. I suppose doing anything else with a girl is fun too.” 
Eddie’s lips part, his brown eyes widen, darkening as they do so. He swallows as he continues to stare at you. Millions of questions run through his mind. There are things he doesn’t know about you, yet? 
Robin and Steve look at you in surprise. 
“Wait, w-what?” He mumbles, laughing nervously. 
Robin’s lips curl into a smirk, “you kissed a girl before? Who?” 
“Yeah, sweetheart, do tell us your dirty little secrets.” 
“Hmm, no,” you smirk, batting your eyelashes at him. 
“Was that before or after me?” Steve asks, cheeks flushed red as he tries to fight the images out of his mind. 
“Before you,” you giggle. 
“Shit, I wanna know who it was.”
“Me too, Eddie,” Robin says. “I know that it wasn’t Chrissy, she’d tell me.” 
“Huh, was it another girl from the cheer squad?” 
You shake your head at Eddie, biting your lip to keep yourself from laughing. 
“Were you close?” 
You shrug, nodding your head.
Steve squints his eyes, tilting his head at you. 
Robin’s jaw drops a little when she figures it out. There is only one girl that you’re close with that wasn’t in the cheer squad – well, besides her. 
“Holy shit,” she mouths at you, grinning.
Steve and Eddie glance at each other in confusion. 
It’s amusing how obvious the answer is, yet, neither of them are close to figuring it out. 
“If you think kissing a girl is fun, you should try eating one out,” Robin mumbles before she takes a drag from the joint, “it’s the best thing ever.” She blows out the smoke, not noticing the confused frown on your face. 
“For once, I have to agree with you, Robin,” Eddie chuckles. 
Steve freezes, closing his eyes as he looks down. 
“Huh?” 
Noticing the look on your face, Robin suddenly regrets opening her mouth about that. Your lips are parted, your eyes filled with confusion and curiosity, your brows are pinched together as you stare at her with a questioning look on your face. She straightens her back, muttering a quiet ‘fuck’ under her breath when she looks at Steve’s embarrassed face. 
“What’s that?” 
Eddie freezes. The smirk falls from his face, he glances at you, at the clueless, lost look on your face. Oh. Steve had never – fuck. How? If you were his, he’d spend day and night on his knees, worshiping you. 
“Huh?” This time, it’s him, whose confused. 
You look at him with big and curious eyes. 
“What is that, I don’t watch porn.” 
“Damn, I guess it’s time to,” Robin mutters through gritted teeth. 
“Licking someone’s pussy, sweetheart. And well, fucking one with your tongue.” 
Your jaw drops, your cheeks heat up and you stare at him in shock. You look cute like this and he could stare at you forever but, in his state of shock, he slowly turns his head towards Steve, eyes filled with concern, confusion and disbelief, “dude, what is wrong with you?” 
Steve, whose face is beet red, glares at him. 
“I’m very self conscious of not doing a good job, so–”
“You learn!” Eddie throws his hands up. 
“What, Munson, are you the pussy expert or something?” He scoffs, rolling his eyes at him. 
You look back and forth between them. Taking in the sight of Eddie’s slightly angered face and Steve’s embarrassed one. 
“I have eaten my share of pussy, thank you very much.”
The scoff falls from your lips before you can even stop it. Neither of them acknowledge you though, until you open your mouth. “What, like three?” You scoff, again. “You only fucked three girls, that’s what you told me, unless you lied about that.” 
Eddie swallows, glancing at you, he fails to notice just how intense the look in your eyes is. 
“There’s a difference between sex and foreplay, sweetheart.” 
You bite the insides of your cheeks, swallowing the bitterness on your tongue as you look into his eyes. Not once, had you spent a single second wondering if Eddie was seeing someone, if he was fooling around with girls when he wasn’t with you. But now that you think about it, now that you imagine him with other girls, you suddenly feel the bile rising in your throat. The sickening feeling makes you want to drop to your knees and puke out the waffles you had eaten this morning.
“So, when was the last time you did that then, Eddie?” Robin asks, both curious to know and to see your reaction. 
He shrugs, “I don’t know, Buckley. I don’t keep count of how many days–”
“Yes, you do! Men always do!” 
He doesn’t feel comfortable sharing that in front of you, but he knows that Robin won’t drop it until she gets an answer she’s satisfied with. Besides, you probably won’t even care. Despite Dmitri’s encouraging words, he still refuses to believe that there are any feelings other than the platonic ones that you feel for him. This won’t hurt you, right? 
“Fine! Two or three months ago, happy? Now, Harrington, I think I should teach you some basics.” 
You feel as though a cold bucket of water has been dropped on you. Your heart leaps to your throat as your stomach drops. Another wave of sickness floods through you. You stare at him, not noticing Steve’s or Robin’s eyes on you. 
When was that? Was it the weekend you couldn’t spend time with him? The night you couldn’t come to his gig? Was it before or after he had gotten angry at you for kissing Steve? 
It shouldn’t affect you as much as it does, it shouldn’t make you feel this sick, this jealous. You barely figured out your feelings for him. But the longer you stare at him, listen to his words, you can’t help but feel anger rather than jealousy. 
You didn’t have feelings for him back then, or at least, you weren’t aware of them. He’s single and free to do whatever he wants but so are you – so were you when you kissed Steve and yet, he was so angry at you when he found out about it. He treated you so coldly, all because he hated the thought of you kissing Steve. Yet, he was out there fooling around with other girls.
“You have never actually eaten pussy before, dude?” Robin mumbles.
Steve rubs the back of his neck, nervously, “I mean, yeah. Just not–” he pauses with a look of shame in his eyes as he briefly glances at you. 
You roll your eyes. 
You’re not surprised to hear that, you’re not even hurt. After everything that happened between you and him, his sex life with Nancy is the last thing you had ever worried about. You always knew that he treated her better than he ever treated you. 
And, that he tried new things with her isn’t anything shocking to you, anyways. 
You open your mouth but before you can say something that might ruin the night, you press your lips together again. Sighing, you look down at your drink. You take a deep breath before you raise the glass to your lips, gulping down the rest of it.
You plaster a smile on your face. Ignoring the concerned looks that Robin is giving you. She thankfully changes the topic. Eddie and Steve, surprisingly fall into yet another conversation. 
Their distraction allows you to slip away for a moment, you pass by Robin without meeting her eyes and make a quick escape to the bathroom. Locking yourself into the small room for a moment to collect yourself. 
Despite the anger you are feeling, you don’t want to ruin the night for Steve. 
You splash some cold water and run your fingers through your hair. 
With tears in your eyes, you stare at yourself in the mirror. 
Whether it’s tears of anger or tears of sadness. You are sick of it. You are sick of yourself. You are sick of crying. You are sick of the pining, of the jealousy, of the sadness.
Steve had given Nancy everything. He tried new things with her while you were grieving your relationship, crying yourself to sleep and thinking about him like a goddamn fool while he was having the time of his life with a different girl. 
And Eddie, you try not to think about it, you try not to let the jealousy in. But you can’t push out the anger that you are feeling for him, right now. 
Or the anger that you are feeling for yourself.
How you take everything to heart. How you let everything and everyone hurt you. 
You are done. 
You are so fucking done.

SOME MANGA SPOILERS!
i really do believe that damian and anya are somewhat similar to yor and loid in ways:
damian and yor are similar in the sense that they're the ones who quite literally fell first, they also seem to struggle with properly expressing how they feel and thus retort to violence and lashing out (violence for yor and lashing out for damian)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anya and loid, on the other hand, are obviously similar in the sense that anya and loid use these silly tactics to swoon over their specific target (or partner for loid), though in the end there's always a high percent that the tactic or plan backfires big time, which does give it a comedic sense.
but there's more.
anya and loid are similar in the sense that they start feeling comfortable around damian and yor respectively. not even realizing it, they slowly learn to open up to only these people, and it's baffling to them because they don't fully grasp the idea of feeling so secure and comfortable with another person, but it happens.
like in the latest chapter, where anya admits to damian (although he doesn't believe her) that she IS indeed an esper because at that moment SHE FELT COMFORTABLE WITH HIM. she felt that she could relate to him and felt secured enough that he was understanding of her.
Tumblr media
loid, on the other hand, may still keep his secret well, but slowly and surely, before even realizing it, he literally drops to his knees with yor because he and his body are unconsciously already so comfortable with yor that he doesn't understand it at all.
Tumblr media
loid and anya do things due to the fact that they feel comfortable with yor and damian WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT.
more parallels are that each pair can sympathize with one another because they have gone through the same thing or really remotely similar.
for instance, damian and anya; anya understands damian's loneliness and crave for validation and familial love because SHE IS THIS SAME. she craves validation and familial love because she's been lonely all her life hence her attachment to loid and yor. damian craves it in the sense that his family is not close with one another and is rather distant. with that, they can both sympathize with each other and realize things about one another that many others do not see.
yor and loid, on the other hand, share similar experiences as they have lost a lot from the war. losing family, becoming tools and weapons to their native countries and organization, somehow losing a part of themselves in the process of growing stronger, they find that lost part of themselves through EACH OTHER. when yor doubts herself, loid is there to support her and reassure her that she is doing great. even if loid somewhat dislikes asking for help, yor willingly offers to help him, she stands as a pillar and backbone for him. yor offers him advice and gives him another point of view he can work with, and loid lifts yor's spirits and supports her from behind.
in conclusion: damianya and twiyor supremacy🥰

Another thing that's... kinda odd about the English translation is in the DRK quests, Myste says "A reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely", which is a big line in basically a secret route of the browser game Fallen London. and yeah, it is a cool line and neat to hear it in FF14... it also doesn't really work for Myste? In it's original context, it's about the remains of a dead demi-god-like being, which was cast into a well, seeking a reckoning and leading the player down a route which will irreversibly destroy their character in pursuit of dark secrets.
Which is not what the Myste sections of DRK were about at all, lol.
oh I could rant for hours about dark knight translations. that questline is actually why I first went to scope out the german script, because I heard drk wildly differs between english and japanese and that german generally stays closer to japanese than english does. I translated some of the fray parts here actually, though you'll note I'm a lot more forgiving of the english script in that one because i hadn't reached sidurgu's parts yet löl
german fray and myste are just completely different characters from english. german myste is upbeat and energetic. he loves people who help others and feels a strong urge to help them in turn. he spawned from the dark knight crystal in response to the loneliness of countless dark knights stored within it so he could console them and be their friend, he's basically the will of the soul crystal itself. he tries to alleviate that loneliness by facilitating reunions with lost loved ones but grows frustrated that this only leads to more partings, so he tries to expand his powers to maintain his illusions forever, because more than anything he just doesn't want to leave his dear friends the dark knights alone. he represents the childish wish at the core of every dark knight for a world where nobody has to lose anyone again.
in the part of the quests where you take myste to the sea of clouds there's this bit where in english he talks about his guilt complex and lets slip that this is also your guilt. in german he tells you that he was always with these people who fight hard for others, watching from the sides, until one day he heard a cry of loneliness and since then he's been trying his best to help people too. that's the moment that for me really hammered it in that these languages fundamentally disagree on what it even means to be a dark knight.
in english myste is desperate to atone for everything he's ever done and fray is your self preservation instinct who is kinda mad that you let it get this far, but they have to forgive him because you're all you have as you walk this lonely and bloody path that you have to believe is right. in german myste is your ideal, the desire to comfort those who have no-one else, crying that maybe it's better to forget altogether if partings can't be avoided and fray is your human heart who agrees that parting will always hurt but that is exactly where you find the strength to continue the fight, because it is worthwhile even if it never ends, and the path may be lonely but you will never walk it alone when there are people who came before you and who will come after you who all share this same dream of a kinder world. of course you won't have to leave us, you're our ideal, you're what we do it all for, as long as we remain dark knights you'll be with us. this all flows very naturally into drk-as-shadowbringers-class and ardbert's deal too but since I haven't reached shb in german yet I don't want to say anything extensive about it yet
i still think english drk was cooking with even your repressed feelings being repressed + the part of yourself that wants to protect itself obviously trying to protect itself and thus not wanting to show vulnerability so en fray postures as the stronger one who will protect you instead, and that fray writing in the journal (and only being able to be honest in a place where you're unlikely to look unless you don't know where to go) is incredibly clever. but in the context of how english treats sidurgu and just the way they handle the entire rest of the game really i also don't think that they were intentionally going for this kind of subtlety, it feels to me more like they just thought sincerity is cringe like usual and decided to make everyone cool and edgy (and thus needlessly mean to each other) instead.
and yeah english fucking loves to just yoink lines from other media whether it's appropriate or not. they turned zenos' final words to wol into a hamilton reference in english, "my first friend, my enemy" is a hamilton line, he doesn't ever call you his enemy in any other language (in german he calls you his hunter though which yes is incredibly horny of him). I'll admit I'm not in a good position to judge whatever epic references the german script makes because I'm unfamiliar with german language popular media so I won't spot them unless someone else points them out but I do know that when german fray quotes fight club it just enhances their characterisation as trying to sound cool and intimidating but failing because they're really kind of lame and awkward and can't hide how stoked they are to hang out with you.

Tumblr media
Everyone is leaving this island–your home–in droves. The seas are drenched in oil, and there’s nothing left to fish or net. People are moving on to bigger, better things. But not you; you’ve never enjoyed the mainland, never craved the just-another-face-in-the-crowd feeling of those big cities. You love your little small town, even if most of it is gone now.
You go for your nightly walk, and the loneliness gets to you for the first time since the spill. There’s no lights on in house windows, no kids playing out in front yards. It’s just you as the sun goes down, casting everything in fiery red and orange brilliance.
Some nights seem darker than others, regardless of the star visibility or the moon’s phase. It’s almost like the air swells and surrounds you until it feels like a thick, dark blanket. It can be almost stifling; and those nights never quite leave your mind.
That’s what it feels like tonight, and for no discernable reason. There’s a wicked sense of foreboding–even more so than you’ve come to be accustomed to. It ramps up even more so when you see the only other house in the neighborhood with lights on: Dave’s house.
Dave left with his wife and daughters two years ago, long before the spill destroyed the island’s economy. No one’s stepped foot in it since–you figured it just never sold. But certainly it hasn’t sold now; who would want to move to the island at a time like this?
Curiosity gets the better of you, maybe because a traitorous little part of your brain wonders if it’s Dave. If he’s finally come back for some reason, if he’s here to fix things. That nagging little hope keeps you up at night more often than you care to admit; that he might return and you’d get a second chance. Either way, you don’t think twice about walking up the short driveway to knock on his door.
It’s completely silent for a long few minutes; long enough that you almost knock again. But maybe this is just some fluke thing, an electrical malfunction or something that turned his lights on. He swore he’d never be back, after all. It’s just wishful thinking.
Tumblr media
It started on your night walks. He jogged the same route every single night after the girls went to bed, and eventually his jog slowed to a walk when he would come alongside you. You’d walk side by side and talk about anything and everything, vent about work or life and tell each other little stories. Before too long, you knew him better than anyone, and it was all completely by accident. Just the neighborly kindness of him slowing his pace to chit chat with you.
And then this man who you shared nothing with besides a nightly exercise route, after weeks of small talk every single evening, kissed you. In the middle of a street, in the middle of a very small island community where every single person knew every single thing about every other person; a community where every single person knew that Dave was married, and that he wasn’t married to you.
You dragged him home to scold him somewhere that no prying ears would catch it, and somehow you ended up in bed underneath him. All desperately breathless kisses and deeply earth-shattering thrusts and muffled moans of pleasure.
He whispered that no one had ever made him feel so alive before, that he’d never wanted someone more. And you wanted to believe him, so you did.
Miraculously, no one ever found out; not about that first time, and not about the million times after. No one ever found out about all the times that you swore up and down it could never happen again, only to fall right back onto your knees for him. No one ever found out about the time that he finally agreed with you, and the way you cried yourself to sleep when he stuck to it and didn’t catch up to you on your walk the next night. No one ever found out about how the next night after that, he caught up to you and begged for you–for your forgiveness, for the feelings that only you had ever been able to make him feel.
And for a while, it was enough. Being his at night under secrecy of darkness was plenty; until all of a sudden it wasn’t. Until you would bump into his wife at the market and nearly have a panicked breakdown by the time you got home, wondering just how much she knew. Until he would say things that were heavier and heavier–things that translated to something akin to ‘I love you’ without actually being the words. Until he had to leave for a work assignment.
He’d be gone for a week. That was all. A simple job, he’d explained. Somewhere overseas, but that was really all he said. He never liked to talk to you about his work much. He said he’d be back before you could even miss him.
But it was a month before he returned, and he came back different.
Withdrawn, dark eyes darker than usual, sunkissed golden skin looking a little insipid. You tried to convince yourself that he was just coming down with a cold, that the way he’d put his hand around your neck just to feel your pulse thrum under his fingertips and squeeze a little tighter than comfortable wasn’t related; that the way he nearly broke skin from biting into your shoulder so hard wasn’t anything to be concerned about; that the way he seemed to have doubled strength while he was away wasn’t cause for alarm.
You lied to yourself because it was easier than the truth; whatever had happened on his assignment, he wasn’t the same man anymore. The man you had started to fall in love with, circumstances be damned, was long gone.
But it came to a point where the truth couldn’t be avoided any longer, because the inevitable can’t be postponed indefinitely. Ignorance is only bliss until the truth comes unapologetically crashing in.
He fucked you so relentlessly it scared you. The hands that had once held you so gently were pushing you into positions far past your comfortable range, his hips were thrusting hard and deep enough to bruise. He saw the tears that leaked from the corners of your eyes and called you pathetic; and just like that, you knew your Dave York was gone. Where to, you weren’t sure. But something in his roughness, in the way he wanted to hurt you, made you sure he was never coming back.
You pushed him off of you and told him to get the fuck out. For a moment–one flickering, horribly tension-fraught moment–you didn’t think he would. The most terrified you’d ever been in your life was when you looked into his dark eyes and saw nothing but violence.
For a moment, you didn’t know what he was going to do. And then he hastily pulled on his clothes and slammed the door shut behind him without a word.
You didn’t see him on your walk the next night, and the following night after that there was a U-Haul parked in front of his house. Part of you was relieved at the sight of boxes and furniture being lugged out of the front door into the box truck; another, more complicated part of you wanted to fall to your knees right there in the street and start screaming.
You felt his presence before you saw him–just behind you to the left, out of your field of view. You didn’t turn to look at him; you couldn’t stand to see his face when you asked, “Why?”
“There are worse ways to hurt you than leaving,” he murmured, low and deep. “If leaving is what I have to do to keep you safe, then I’m never fucking coming back.”
You turned at that, because what the fuck was that supposed to mean? What would he have to keep you safe from?
You saw so much sadness in his brown eyes that you nearly broke down sobbing. You knew right then that it was over. There was no begging him to stay, no changing his mind. You didn’t even really know if you actually wanted him to stay, at that point.
He walked away to help the movers lug a couch before you got a chance to say anything; no ‘I love you’, no ‘I’ll miss you’, not even a simple ‘goodbye’.
By morning his family was gone, him included. His house stood empty for two years with not a sign from him. Until tonight.
Tumblr media
The living room lights cast a warm yellow glow over the front yard in the dark even through the obscurity of dusty window blinds. You’re tempted to peek through and see if you can tell what’s going on inside after standing on the stoop unacknowledged for a few minutes; just as you make the decision to snoop, the front door opens.
It’s him. It’s really fucking him. He hasn’t changed even the slightest bit. His brown hair is still cut short and neatly styled, his handsome face is impeccably shaved. His dark brown eyes are just like you remember them, from before; the hatred and violence they held those last few days isn’t there anymore.
He whispers your name, and then his eyes flash. “You’re still here.”
“Of course I am,” you reply, on guard. “This is my home.”
His fingers twitch on the doorknob, like he’s contemplating shutting you out. “I didn’t know anyone was still here. I wouldn’t have come back.”
“Why did you come back?” You ask, curiosity getting the better of you.
His eyes shift for a moment, jaw set firmly. “It’s the only place I have left.”
He doesn’t have to put it any clearer than that for you to know that his wife isn’t in the picture anymore. You wonder what happened between them, but a selfish little part of you is triumphant at the fact that he came to you.
Except he didn’t, not really. He said himself that he didn’t think anyone was left. That he wouldn’t have come otherwise. Why wouldn’t he have come?
“You need to go,” he says firmly, moving to shut the door in your face. But your hand shoots out before you can really even contemplate it.
Now, you say what you wish you would’ve had the courage to say all those years ago. “I missed you, Dave.”
You can see his patience is waning–his hand flexes anxiously against the door but he doesn’t say anything quite yet, and you know his is your only chance for closure.
“You said, before you left, that you were protecting me by leaving. What do you have to protect me from?”
“Myself,” he growls. His eyes flash dangerously, the same way they did two years ago.
“What…”
“Each man kills the thing he loves, honey,” he murmurs, stepping closer. It feels like he’s towering over you now, looming ominously. You don’t remember him being this imposing before he left. “And I… I loved you.”
“I loved you, too,” you whisper. Hindsight is funny like that–your brain reveals in hindsight what your heart can’t reveal in the moment. “We can… we can make this work, Dave.”
You should be more hesitant. You should remember how scared of him you were at the end, how strange it is for him to show up here in the middle of the night all alone. You should wonder why he’s back here now, when everyone else is gone.
“You don’t know what you’re asking for,” he growls, all the while moving closer to you as if you have a magnetism he can’t avoid. “I’ve changed.”
“I’m asking for a second chance,” you plead as you set your hands on his strong, solid chest. He’s so achingly close now, and yet he still won’t touch you. “I’ve changed too, I’m… I’m willing to make this work if you are.”
He licks his lips, dark eyes focused… on your neck? Why is he looking there of all places? 
He notices that he’s been caught when his eyes flicker up to meet your gaze. He just stares at you for a moment, then two, so close that each breath you exhale mingles with his.
And then suddenly he’s leaning in. You let your eyes flutter shut, awaiting the sweet sensation of his lips on yours after so long; but it never comes. You wait, and you wait, and then you feel something puncture the side of your neck.
It’s sharp, and it hurts. Your eyes snap open and all you can see is Dave; his body curls around yours as he gulps eagerly from your punctured artery. A weak hand comes up to nudge his head halfheartedly–somewhere in the back of your mind, you delight in the softness of his hair between your fingers again after so long–but his arms wrap tightly around your waist to keep you in place and your weak resistance is futile.
He was right, you think as your vision blurs around the edges. You really didn’t have a clue what you were asking for.

What if Albert Wesker Survived?
Albert Wesker X Reader
No specific gender assigned all for everyone to enjoy 🖤
Suggested by: @adlerboi
Synopsis: What if Albert Wesker Survived after being "killed" By Chris and Sheva?
Tumblr media
"I'm sorry Y/N. He's gone."
Getting over his death was the hardest thing, you screamed in denial, you cried, you bargained his workers to find his body. A body thst couldn't be found in a pit of lava. The acceptance... Was the hardest thing you had to face. You missed everything about him.
You missed his voice, smell, touch. How he touched your waist, neck, caress you. Kiss you. The subtle, sweet and loving touches, all that was felt in your heart was emptiness.
Sometimes this whole ordeal felt like a dream— It had to be right? Wesker faced many ordeals, and he always came back to you. Like how he did a couple months after raccoon City, time and time again. He always found his way back to you.
Not this time though.
He had put you in one of his hideouts, hiding you away so Chris wouldn't find you... Not your typical underground safehouse, better yet it was somewhere in the countryside in your home country, it was a nice little bungalow. He gave you a second chance, to forget about everything.
But it wasn't the same without Albert, you knew that. Or anyone else for that matter. Whatever he left behind it was for you, all of it. His money, his life's work all of it... But at what cost?
He promised you that he'd be safe. For all man kind he said, for a better world he said. Albert Wesker was a mastermind. Your mastermind, despite all what he had done, you were his and he was yours. Maybe a part of yourself knew the past was going to catch up to him, it was a matter of time before that thing even happened.
Chris was an old friend of yours, your best friend you knew from your childhood. Old friends reunited. Your time at S.T.A.R.S came to an end where you fell in love with Wesker, blinded by love, following him into the darkness...
Seeing him kill the one you love before you were taken sway by his men shattered you to the core. But he did his job at the end of the day, despite how angry you were.
Why did it have to be this way?
The same old question ran through your head many times a day, why did it had to be like this?
Wesker made you a promise he had a big "plan." To help man kind, not knowing the consequences down the line... That's where it all lead to into this final moment. His death.
The first night in your new home was harsh too. After Wesker's employees dropped you off with your belongings, the loneliness, heartache and greith struck you.
You had to start all over again. A new name, new identity, a fresh start is what he would've wanted for you. As long as you got our alive, that's all that ever mattered to Wesker. And you did. You survived it all.
1 1/2 later...
Things were gradually getting better, slowly but surely. All of Wesker's money, fortune was in your possession. Yet you still worked, depaite the luxuries you have, lounging around won't chance the second chance that was given to you.
Working at the local coffee shop was nice, simple, especially being in the countryside, you see the same people everyday. Given the odd occasional people who come down, dubbing their city geteays to be here in the lovely little country side. Life seemed to be getting better.
Another day at work was done, taking off your coat and bag of your shoulders ascyou walked in. The whole afternoon was in your hands now, what to do with it...
A sound In the it the interrupted your thoughts. Going over to the kitchen, your eyes laid onto a familiar figure. One, you always knew... Standing there in shock, you couldn't believe your eyes.
"Wesker?"
"My love, my lovely Y/N." Wesker spoke with the voice thar always made your knees weak, it was still him. But different, he still had the visible burnt scars from the lava. From his face, to his arm and legs.
He was alive.
"You...- I mean you're-"
Wesker didn't say anything and he immediately pulled you into a hug, one hand behind your head. And the other was around your waist.
Tears forming in your eyes, becoming watery. Falling doen your cheeks, his gloved hand wiped away the tears with his thumb.
"I'm sorry." Wesker said. "I'm so sorry... I should've listened to you." He confessed. "Wr should've left like we said." He cupped you cheeks with his hands.
"You left me alone." Your tone was cold, sniffling slightly. Cupping his cheek as well, gently caressing his cheek.
"I know..." Wesker mumbled. "And I'm not going anywhere now, I promise." He reassured you. And that's all you ever needed.
Wesker pulled you into a tighter hug resting his head on your shoulder. "I'll always come back to you, regardless. Forever and for always."

So in my ongoing efforts to say nice things about Supernatural and, as @luckshiptoshore said yesterday, "reclaim this nice, gay show" together, and also probably because I listened to Bruce Springsteen earlier today while I was thinking: why is it that this particular love story has me like it does? Why can't I let this Destiel thing go? I mean... I watched all the recent queer love stories and as much as I enjoyed Good Omens and OFMD, they just don't take up real estate in my soul like Supernatural does -- and that's not a decision I made, it just is. I don't know about you guys, but my little rages choose me.
Anyway, I was thinking -- it's probably not just because of queer representation or whatever, and I don't think it's because I want to see dudes be tender -- I think I ran out of that form of interest in the life of dudes awhile ago, but yeah, Bruce Springsteen. Born to Run. He says "I want to know love is wild, I want to know love is real" and I felt like it pretty much hit the nail on the head for me, somehow.
It's been a long time since I have felt moved by a het romance story. I feel like I can no longer believe it when the roles are so pre-packaged in the tropes and trappings of what was sold to me as idealised love in my younger days. And, like, I am Gen X, so it was pretty gruesome out there when I was learning how to want love -- the power of compulsory heterosexuality was strong, and the shit that was sold to us all as ways to love and be loved were pretty gross, just watch any romantic comedy from the 80's or 90's.
I think I love Supernatural so much because of the way Dean plays the role of a standard issue dude, and postures like he is a stereotypical red-blooded American dude, but it's so transparent that it isn't him. I don't know if it's just Jensen things, or if it was consciously done, but I love how unconvincing Dean's act is, and how clear it is that he is a wounded child whose own real desires and needs have been beaten out of him somehow, and I just love the way the real Dean and what that guy wants slow rises out of him as the story goes on, until he's choking on it, and visibly swallowing it down. For me, the queerest thing about Dean is his pain, his aching loneliness, and his sense of failure at being what he thinks he is -- a violent man who only knows how to kill, and I love Dean's moments of clarity, moments when he speaks from his own soul -- when he tells Cas he's sorry, tells John he has a family, tells Chuck "that's not who I am" are just everything to me.
Both Dean and Cas are victims of conditioning and coersion -- Dean trying to be his Daddy's perfect son, and being manipulated by Chuck, and Cas horribly violated and brainwashed repeatedly for millennia in heaven -- and they love each other in defiance of conditioning, because love is wild, and it's the product of their freedom.
I feel like ALL actual love eschews force and arises out of freedom. All real love is specific and weird, and is co-created in the space between lovers from what is most real in them and in that sense, all real love is queer in some way in that it is not part of the big social project of subjugating what doesn't comply. I feel like a lot of people lead lives of mindless compliance and that a thing that's wonderful about queer people and queer community is that we work against the grain to honor what is truest in us, whatever that is.
I guess I just love that, on Supernatural, the kind of love that saves the day is the kind that grows wild, like a weed you can't kill, out of more than a decade of choosing each other, again and again, and choosing to fight coercion and conditioning. Love that just fucking refuses to comply, and in fact, cannot comply, because non-compliance is it's very nature. There's something so hopeful and beautiful about that to me. I want to believe in it, and I do.
It's also why, after ALL THIS, in the context of that narrative, Dean is incontrovertibly queered, and anything else is just straight up narrative malpractice.

The big analysis of Joris Jurgen's horrible-no-good childhood.
TW: discussions of child neglect, and what might constitute as emotional abuse.
Firstly, to address something, I hadn't in the last liveblog: There are plenty of times in the show where one can see Joris saying things that he may not entirely mean...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But it is especially interesting to see him say something like this immediately after breaking down into tears about it just a scene prior.
Hm. Anyway. I'm sure this won't affect their relationship going forward.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've discussed Kerubim's issues of self-worth, loneliness, and dishonesty, before on this blog, — but you will never believe it, Kerubim isn't the only one who suffers because of his issues.
It's nigh time we discuss seven-year-old Joris, and the terrible, no good, case of emotional repression and lying.
Let's set the stage first.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Joris grew up in a deeply isolated and neglectful, and at times dangerous, environment, in every single way. And the child neglect Kerubim engaged in lessened, but did not stop after Simone arrived.
He did not have any family members besides Kerubim, — for obvious reasons, both of their family members are either dead, or want nothing to do with them, — and he did not have any friends, besides Tatak. The reason he did not have friends is unknown, but there are several factors that may have contributed to that:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The sorry state of their house might have complicated his relationship with other kids and given him and Kerubim a poor reputation among neighbours;
The part of the city they live in might simply not have a lot of families, due to being a — being, perhaps, mostly populated by adventurers and other people in violent professions, as well as the shops that cater to them (which are, in turn, mostly ran by retired adventurers).
And then there's the third thing: Kerubim is his best friend.
Tumblr media
Joris did not have a support system in the form of an extended family, — or at the very least, in the form of friends outside the household, — and It doesn't seem like the other adults Kerubim knows were at all involved in Joris's childhood. Besides that, Joris was seemingly homeschooled, — and, considering Kerubim's finances, and his referencing at least one school's existence, there were other options.
For the large part of Joris's life, they only had one another, and it almost seems like Kerubim, with his abandonment issues, and low self-esteem, acted in ways that isolated Joris further.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Due to Ecaflip's mistreatment of him as a child, and his loneliness due to the death of his family when he was a child, — what he wanted the most as a father was to be a best friend to Joris.
(And, much more selfishly, not that he would admit that, — he wanted someone to replace Lou/Indie/Atcham/Bashi/Everyone else who has left him.)
He could remember being a child, and he knew how he would have liked to be treated, — as a peer, obviously. It's important for peers to respect each other equally, and listen to each other's pain, right?
Tumblr media
Except, in a way, Kerubim is perpetuating a cycle here.
Tumblr media
And children are not peers, best friends, or caretakers. They depend on their parents for their survival.
And Joris knows what will happen to him, if Kerubim is gone. Kerubim himself was an orphan, and has shared more than enough stories about that.
Because of this, thoughts of Kerubim passing away are a usual worry for Joris, no doubt fueled by Kerubim's dramatics, and love for his attention — and it means he'll do everything to make sure Kerubim is happy and healthy.
Even if it means sacrificing his own comfort for his sake. Even if it means putting up with being treated badly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Joris and Kerubim have what is known as an "enmeshed", or "codependent", parent-child relationship, the characteristics of which are, according to online resources:
Parents expecting children to be their best friends and always confiding in them.
Children receiving praise for maintaining the family’s status quo, and conflict-avoidant behaviours.
The lack of emotional and physical boundaries.
Role reversal, in the form of the child being expected to take care of the parent's mental health. (Despite lacking the maturity to)
Children prioritizing parents needs and feelings over their own.
Childhood overindulgence, in the form of the parent using the child for wish fulfilment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another interesting titbit that informs his character, is that, from a very young age, children learn how to respond to their feelings and express them, based on the way adults behave, by mirroring those behaviours, — and Kerubim is anything but honest about his feelings, more often than not, putting on a brave smile.
Joris values his stories more than anything, despite knowing that, often, they may be fake, at least in some parts. To him, words matter more than the truth of the matter, when push comes to shove between them. But also, he doesn't like outright lies, which are just as plentiful between them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite how he may usually act, Joris isn't really the happiest about how their family is. He knows that Kerubim is dishonest and neurotic, and, in a way, it causes dissonance in his mind. He loves him more than anything, and to trust him, — but he knows that to trust Kerubim is to be disappointed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When something bad happens? It's a guarantee, that instead of being comforted, it will be his job to pretend to be comforted, so that Kerubim doesn't completely fall apart. So that he can still be taken care of, — and every child wants to be taken care of.
Yet another thing he can't really trust Kerubim with.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just like Kerubim, he is growing up to be a good liar. And someone very much afraid of being abandoned.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But everyone has their limit, fear of abandonment or not. No matter how much you repress these feelings, they'll come bubbling to the surface eventually.
Tumblr media
...An interesting tidbit about children raised in enmeshed relationships, is that, at times, as adults, they find it difficult to trust others, open up to people, or have close friends in general. Due to guilt of those people on the outside not being their family, and due to associating close relationships with pain, responsibility, and giving up a part of themselves.
They grow up to be aloof, flighty, and cold.
Tumblr media
Another interesting tidbit is that, sometimes, they find themselves unable to leave at all.

I don’t know how to feel about this. I just couldn’t stop thinking about watching the rain and reflecting on Neuvillette. Also, who knows what might change as he is officially released. This is just an idea that was eating my soul. 
Also, requests are open. I don’t really need to close them, but I am still slow with writing since I work full-time. I am hoping to branch off a little more from just Enstars requests, and ,I’ve taken a lot more of an active interest in writing for Jojo specifically, but anything works.
Tumblr media
Neuvillette; Unedited. Gender Neutral Reader. 
Warnings: very vague for the most part but talk of isolation, mental and physical abuse, and manipulation. It’s still Yandere.
Word Count: 2,300+

plitter-platter, plitter-platter, plitter-platter—
The rain had been pouring for some time now, longer than usual. What could have set him off for so long was still unknown. The drumming of the rain against the window, your head pressed more into it and away from the armrest of the chair, almost as if hoping by sheer luck you’d phase through the glass and be set free. The sound of the rain, once so peaceful, has grown to become nauseating. Ringing in the depths of your ears and into your soul, plaguing as a reminder of the life you now had. When there is nothing to shut it out, it only digs in more into the predicament you’ve been chained to. No more are the cozy aspects of the rain curled up in a family home with food, cooking, and music as the rain danced across the roof or the time with friends running through the storm in attempts to find shelter, laughs filling the air—just you and the room. 
Well, the room could be your fault. You weren’t physically chained there— not anymore, but the walls of the home, as big as they were, only served to mock you. Too big of a cage, a labyrinth that could only make the looming fear of loneliness bury itself between your ribs and bloom across your heart. The shadows of people known not to interact with you but their whispers tickling in your ears. Sounds of them adding about their personal lives and families, trips, gossip across Fontaine… all while your days had become mostly kept in silence. No, you’d rather stay in here… just one room that you could build into an escape paradise from the weighing ache the rest brought you—filled with books, a window [that you had spent countless hours fighting with], plush chairs, and per your request some plants. You managed to get your argument across to him on allowing for such necessities; although he liked to remind you what he had given, he could just as much take away. Though you knew his bleeding heart for you, that under it all, he craved the love he one day believed you’d give him. Punishments were honest; you knew that much had been burned into your brain, but it was rare that little things would be a trigger for him to take account less you become too much of a “brat.” Ugh, how easy it was to scoff at that term— treating you like a child having a tantrum compared to the reality of a human stuck in the grasp of the inhuman judge himself. 
Sometimes, you wondered what was better; he often was gone. Working, fulfilling a role you had to bite your tongue to denounce him from. If someone couldn’t understand humans, couldn’t understand what drove them to petty crimes and the struggles so many befall, why should he be allowed to make the calls? Judge-free, unbiased… no, that isn’t the way to handle it; you knew the pain of it all weighed down on him, which was something enough [better than doing so without remorse] but didn’t alter the unfair nature of the law. Not when, through it all, you ended up here, a product for his love rather than a participant. But him being gone didn’t change the aching; with the limited interactions, it was only through him the loneliness had a moment to dull. Even if you hated to admit it, you were only human— only able to crave someone to share time with to break the deafening silence of the home. Of the rain. It scared you. To know if he was around more, around enough that your fight to be free would extinguished. You’d lose yourself, complacent in a life you never asked for. If he was home more, would you lose yourself faster, lose the motivation to escape, and become just another wheel in the cog of fate? Or would you have more time to whittle down his defenses and create more openings for means of escape? The thought could only make your heart beat faster, drumming along to the rain, though was it out of fear or excitement? It was hard to tell.
plitter-platter, plitter-platter, plitter-platter—
Breathe fogged up a patch of the window, the cooling glass chilling the chunk of the forehead that was placed against it. The feeling was uncomfortable, both in angle and blooming chills from the material, but not enough to want to move. The rain was still falling, though slowly dying down. He’d be home soon, creeping into the room looking for you just like every night. Days spent on loop, blending more and more into each other. He didn’t mind crying in front of you, often the tears adorning your shoulder or back as he held you close, but he seemed to try to keep the outside world— well outside. He knew it upset you, that it’d turn into some argument, and he’d need to find a reason to punish you for breaking the rules. You often had to bite your tongue, wanting to tell him this is why inhuman creatures shouldn’t have human partners. The gap in communication, feelings and needs was too much. It was killing both of you. You could feel it as he wept, the soft rain showers of him just not understanding, not being able to communicate effectively the motions of his heart. 
Two drops lined up just centimeters from your face. The mark of a race, the starting line. It was a time that once was so innocent when you were a kid choosing a random drop and narrating it in your head as you waited for the storm to pass so you could go out and play. ‘Woe is me’ could only be how you thought of it now. Him and you set up for the race— the starting line and… go. 
Rolling down the frame and collecting other droplets, their trails jumping and altering in their paths as gravity dragged them down. One pulled into the lead, always him. He was always one step ahead, one smarter and more intuned. Like a kid with their hand in the cookie jar, he always found your new escape attempt and could see through your flowery words of deception. In that sense, you had to admit his role fits him well, but only left the bitter remains of the stems in your mouth when he locked you back up with a ‘you’ll be let out when you learn not to lie.’ It must be something tied to him on a fundamental level, a sense. Or perhaps it was just age, something you could never achieve. You couldn’t count how many times you watched the droplets race, hoping that maybe just once you could be one step ahead, one…
No. Even if you did, where would you go? The melusine were everywhere, and getting out within reach of the court would be a life sentence of punishment. Perhaps solace somewhere in the underground community, but someone likely would sell you out to better favor their outcome. You could break for the border; it’d be brutal and dangerous, a bounty on your head faster than you could imagine. Would other regions even be safe from a runaway? Maybe some other small communities… would become looking for you? Would you have to always stay alert for the rest of your life? Would you have to live alone, fending only for yourself? You’d lose yourself just as much in a life like that, but maybe it was the price of freedom. The price of not playing a role, soul withering away trying to maintain the rules and ideals of something you could never understand. When did your thought become so sorrowful, the fight you once had? A flame extinguished by the rain left only as sparks fumbling to stay lit. Look away, it wasn’t over yet. There had to be good out there, people who could understand, you’d take you in. Life would never be easy again, but it wasn’t over. Not yet. 
Lifting your head from the window was always weirdly comforting, the movement restored to your neck and it stretching back into place. The coolness of the glass no longer flushed against your skin, allowing the heat of the room to melt away the temperature. Rest your mind, reset your body. He never minded the long game, maybe as time for him felt infinite. But rushing would only cause holes in a plan you couldn’t keep affording to lose. The storm would pass, and you’d find a way to relight that flame. You couldn’t let him win, and you couldn’t let this system win. 
plat, plat, plat…
“My love,” he spoke. He— Neuvillette, was home. The rain had stopped, only some residue drops highlighting the storm moments before. He stood in the doorway, hand holding the frame as his voice reverberated across the silent room. He always waited for you to notice him before entering. Permission didn’t matter, but in a sense, it tended to bring some comfort to know where the dragon lurked. It only took a brief flash of eye contact for him to take it as clearance into entering the room, legs quickly carrying him to your seat. 
Neuvillette stood in front of you, pristine and put together; his eyes sharply focused on you, and his neutral expression made him seem more intimating than you knew he was. You had been here long enough as well to see the faint but dried crust of where his tears had pooled down his cheeks from moments just before. It didn’t change the power radiating off him, seeping into the room and over you like a blanket to remind you he was in charge here. Curiosity burned in your stomach, leaping up your throat, wanting you to ask what could have caused him to cry so much.
Gossip regarding the law wasn’t to be taken seriously, but the lack of outside world stimulation always makes the prospects more enticing. It burned in your mind to know what was happening outside of your cage, in the world below. Though asking would only come back to haunt you, the fights that led to punishments burned into your mind and skin even if the physical sides had healed. Not to mention the way he would take it if the words even managed not to set off a disagreement, that you cared. Neuvillette may be blind to human emotions and feelings, but he did have his own set— and that presented as caring for him on the most basic level of touch or tone only worked against you. Solidifying your partnership, your love in his mind. 
The silence was always more deafening when he stood before you; that even a breath would break the moment. His hand was delicate, though, floating to your head before wistfully tracing your hair and to your chin. It tickled, enough you wanted to flinch but knew better as he tilted your head to look into his eyes more. Pulling his hand from your face, he held it with his palm up. You knew what he was asking. Take his hand, but don’t look away. Unlike his graceful movements, you didn’t have as much time before his eyes would narrow, a sign of rejection in his eyes— he couldn’t take it. Unlike for humans, you could only assume there was something dormant, something innate that drove the ideas of jealousy, rejection, and the need to isolate on a biological level rather than mental. People could do just the same; you knew this for a fact, but the way he carried it out felt more visceral. Not doing so wasn’t an option; it freed him from his own judgment because nothing could defy the fact of biology. 
Your hand moved from instinct; at least, at this point, it was strange to think of how things now were ingrained in you. The movements of hands, replying to questions, from when it was time to sleep and wake up to where you walked through the day. That it just instantly would click, a passive thought or action. Not trained into you but a reflection of your life, how the passing days and routines with him had become a staple in your life. You had changed since then, proof that whatever was to come was inevitable—a mark of fate. 
Pulled to your feet, Neuvillette wrapped his arm around your torso, still ghostly with his touches. His face now resting on your hair as he breathed– in and out. The tension in his body released just slightly, but as if you were the answer to what had been weighing down on him. “My love,” he repeated, lips softly tickling the top of your head, “come on. Let’s have dinner.” 
The routine of your long day: Neuvillette returns from work to fetch you from your room to a meal before settling into bed together. He’d try to make a convo, and sometimes you’d reply. Other times, he’d focus on reading something, and you’d do the same or just turn your back, hoping he’d get the hint. There was no use in fighting it; the rules layered in stone. 
“Okay.”

man i think part of what fucks me up (/pos) about the wedding scene (klk) is how well it conveys that the fantasy junketsu puts on ryuko is not a romantic one.
like i think it would've been really easy to make it about her wanting to find a man who could take care of things for her or love her unconditionally and when mako busts her out the message is You Don't Need A Man! You're A Strong Independent Woman!! or something (which is a perfectly fine message btw. i bring it up because i suspect that's how some people read it, especially those who see ryuko as straight, in an utena-hetero-girlboss way (yes i HAVE encountered that reading before. head in my hands)). maybe there's a montage of the groom and her at romantic milestones (confession, proposal, dates, moving in, whatever), and mako busts in while they're exchanging rings or leaning in for a kiss or something. they could have done that.
but the show puts SO little focus on the groom, to the point of emphasizing his facelessness and lack of relevance to the fantasy and its appeal (see the door handle knocking him over and ryuko not noticing, too busy looking at mako), that i think it's impossible to read it that way. and that's great bc what's actually there is so much more interesting and thematically relevant.
ryuko wants a normal childhood with a mom who loves her and spends time with her doing typical family stuff, who sticks with her as she grows up. the fantasy is of a normal development and family structure, of assimilation into a typical path of life for a woman, with its typical milestones. that includes getting married to a man. the fantasy is being naturally what society wants her to be, what will allow her to connect most easily to others within it. she's always butted heads with others, never fitting in for reasons she can't really understand, or often because she thinks the rules themselves are stupid. that came with isolation. loneliness.
the fantasy of junketsu's wedding is of conformity. it is also of conformity without effort, without awareness.
she doesn't want to force herself to fit in, because she knows that feels like shit. she wants it to be seamless. second nature. that's what junketsu appeals to. not the fantasy of pretending to be straight or becoming straight, but simply being straight.
(if it isn't clear by now, i view ryuko as a lesbian. this scene is a big part of why.)
it's ryuko pretending to be (and to always have been) something that will never cause her trouble, that will never alienate her. (or junketsu making her pretend that, though i think it caters to a lingering insecurity of ryuko's, that lack of stability, connection, and conformity in her real life).
it's also part of why mako and senketsu's rescue is not about mako being the right one for ryuko, but about ryuko's identity. her core state of being. who she is as a person.
(personally i read ryuko and mako as romantic (and i believe the show does as well, hence, y'know, the date and the mako hallelujah imagery during her asking her out and mako hitting on her and and and. sorry but however you feel about them as a ship they are definitively canon), and the scene does have romantic appeal/a romantic angle to it. but i think that romance comes from mako understanding ryuko deeply, and from calling her back into the person she is, rather than the person she could have been were she to have lived a Completely Different Life, and showing her that she has community and companionship even without this. she can be part of a group without doing all this shit. she doesn't have to fight alone, and this wedding business isn't the only way out of that loneliness. it's a gesture of love and concern for her as a person, one that comes from senketsu and mako together, the people who love her the most.)
ragyo wants conformity. she is a fascist. she wants everybody to wear the same clothes, to be in their proper place in society, and to submit to those who have rightful power over them. A hierarchy with life fibers at the top and humans at the bottom. ragyo designs and distributes the roles (clothes) people ought to wear, talks about clothes that don't suit people, etc. she wants ryuko to conform like she is, and like she has. a feelingless marriage to some man for what she can get from him. fitting in. she wants to have daughters that fit in. she wants to fit in. she wants to fit in because she's fetishized her place above other humans (pigs in human clothing, in roles unbefitting their pig status), her place under life fibers.
it has nothing to do with love, so ragyo doesn't even bother with it. nor does junketsu. even though the guise of love could be a powerful aide here, the staff chose to leave the message unmuddied. it is about conformity.
for ryuko to fulfill this fantasy, she would have had to be a completely different person, with a completely different life.
ryuko could not be ryuko and still wear that wedding dress. so she tore it off to be herself again (something she'd been lamenting/resisting since finding out she was "a goddamned life fiber monster" shortly before getting put in junketsu).
also note that satsuki used this wedding dress for her own aims as well, though she is lucid through it. it pains her. it's a role she takes on to fight against ragyo (fire with fire). but she says she realizes she couldn't win using others like pawns. she couldn't win from inside the hierarchy, the establishment. she couldn't win using a groom and a dress for her own inauthentic reasons, nor using that clout to climb the ranks of something that was wholly rotten just to get closer to ragyo. the whole tree must be felled.
anyway

YOU MAKE IT FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS - MM
Tumblr media
SUMMARY: you’re on your own for Christmas and Mason invites you to spend it with him and his family.
TW: literally none. After the angst, comes the fluff. Hardcore fluff.
AN: this is a work of pure fiction. Have fun!
Signing that permanent contract to work as Senior Communications Manager for Chelsea FC Women’s team had been the highlight of your year, after working so hard to achieve everything you manifested your entire life. The girls were great, welcomed you with so much happiness and warmth that it wasn’t hard to feel like you were part of one big family, and it happened the same once you got to meet everyone else from the Men’s team staff and some of the boys, when there was joint media day and you were always there to coordinate things so the final result would be nothing but perfect. 
Still, you couldn’t help feeling lonely most of the time. You had your friends from university, just a few that stuck around after you graduated, but your life was mostly about work and your family lived across the Atlantic. It was just you and Mia, your 4 year old beagle, and although she made you quite happy, having a dog sometimes just wasn’t enough to fill the emptiness you often felt. 
“Will you be joining us for the Christmas dinner tomorrow?” The familiar Spanish accent woke you up and you found Azpilicueta flashing you a big smile, both hands in his pockets as we waited for an answer. 
“Hmm…” you frowned a little. “The girls had theirs yesterday, so I’m not sure. I mean, I’ll definitely be around.” You smiled back when he gave you a nod, satisfied with your answer.
“It makes sense for you to join us, we’re all very fond of you.” Your heart nearly melted, washing off the loneliness you felt seconds ago. He took one step forward and looked around, making sure no one would listen what he was about to say. “There’s one person, in particular, who’s more than fond of you.”
Then his eyes moved to Mason, who was chattering like a schoolgirl with Fran Kirby. You wanted to giggle seeing how happy he was with all the Christmas mood filling the room, but you were taken by surprise with Azpi’s reveal. Sort of. Mason flirted with you sometimes but you always thought it was just for fun. Your cheeks flushed hard, you could feel them burning. “As if!” You replied, and he just shrugged.
After wrapping with them, you spent the rest of your day at your office, where you had the perfect view of the now empty outdoor pitch and you often found yourself staring the endless green, thinking how lucky you were. 
***
The next day, you woke up earlier than usual, with Mia licking your face and then snuggling under the covers. It’d be a busy day and knowing Mia would be alone for a little longer than she usually did, you felt your chest clench a bit. “You know what, Mia?” She looked at you as if she could understand every single word. “I’m making it ‘bring your kid to work’ day, and you’re the kid!” 
Cobham was no more than 40 minutes from your place, and today you had plenty of time to enjoy the green area and let yourself be happy to see the sun fighting for its space among the clouds, despite it being a particularly cold day. Although Mia was a well behaved dog, you kept her on the leash, just in case she got too excited seeing so many people when you decided to go for a walk around the outdoor pitch, where the boys were training. She looked particularly cute today wearing a Christmas scarf and hood. 
“Cannot believe you brought Mia today!” You watched Louis, a colleague from the male team marketing department approach, but instead of reaching out to you, he went straight to Mia who was happy enough with all the attention. 
The three of you stayed there, despite having way too much work to get done, until the boys started to go back inside. Each time one of them happily waved at you, you greeted them with a wave back and a happy smile. Chilly found himself softened by Mia’s cuteness and it seemed enough for Christian, Mason and Azpilicueta to decide they’d give all the attention to your dog. 
“I have the feeling you are going to kidnap my dog. Especially you, Chilly.”
“Not unless you bring her to Christmas dinner.” He replied, still focusing all his attention on her and you could tell how much Mia enjoyed the ear scratches, but she really went heaven and back when Mason gave her tummy scratches.  “Gosh, now she’ll never leave you, Mason!” 
His laugh was intoxicating, so happy, and the wrinkles around his eyes were too adorable. That man was the definition of what you’d look for on a man, but the only problem was how unethical that felt to you. “That’s alright for me, she’s such a good girl who loves her tummy scratches. Aren’t you, Mia? Aren’t you?” The funny voice he made to speak to your dog melted your heart in a way you had to catch a breath. Azpi seemed to notice that because he winked at you, a cheeky grin playing on his lips, to which you felt your cheeks flush again. 
You only met them again at the canteen, for their Christmas dinner. The atmosphere that filled the place was so comforting, cheerful, as Christmas should be. You let Mia off the leash and she quickly ran around, as if she was searching for someone, and once she did you could see her rolling on the floor next to Mason, asking for more scratches. Good girl! 
“Y/N, I think your dog is no longer yours but you’re still welcome to sit with us.” Ben pointed at an empty chair next to Mason. 
“I’ll know who to reach out whenever I need someone to watch her.” Mason glanced at you, that lovely smile of his was even more adorable combined with that paper crown. He stopped with the tummy scratches and Mia let out a loud grumble, which made all of you laugh. “I can’t fucking believe this dog.” You said, rolling your eyes.
“She’s very sweet.” You nodded, watching him focus on you now. “So, what are your Christmas plans? I assume your family is coming?”
You shook your head. “It’ll be just me, Mia, way too much junk food and Christmas rom-coms.” How depressing that sounded. 
“Oh?” Mason frowned. 
“Mum had an accident, nothing serious, but she can’t travel… and my brother went to Athens with his wife.” 
“You shouldn’t be alone for Christmas, though. I mean-“ he pointed at Mia. “It shouldn’t be just the two of you.”
That was fucking sweet, enough for you to want to smooch him, nonstop. You still talked to him for a few more minutes, to Christian and Ben, until you decided to go back to your office before wrapping up the day. When you got inside your car, your body happily welcoming the warmth coming from the heater, your phone buzzed with an Instagram notification.
[yourinstauser] Mason Mount
You and Mia are more than welcome if you decide not to spend Christmas on your own.
And another buzz, now a message with what was definitely his address.
Your jaw dropped. 
Mason Mount invited you for Christmas at his place.
He texted a few more times before the 24th, insisting you should go and that his family would wait for you to show up. It felt surreal, because even with all the flirting you weren’t close at all and you never met outside work. Except once, when you ran into him and Ben at a club, but he was too busy with a girl. 
Still, he invited you for Christmas at his place, with his family, which was so important to you even if you couldn’t help but feeling that, at some point, you’d get too emotional and feel left off, but not on purpose. 
***
Mason’s house was probably big enough for 50 people to live there. You knew it wasn’t polite trying to catch every single detail while you stood outside after ringing the bell, but you couldn’t help yourself. It was definitely a great house.
You didn’t spend much time there, though, as you heard rushed footsteps coming from inside and soon that smile was all you could see again. It made you smile back at him. Mason opened his arms and moved to the side so you could walk in.
“I thought you wouldn’t come, Y/N! But glad you’re here!” 
“What kind of dog mum would I be if I left my girl without her newly favourite tummy scratches?” Mason tilted his head back, one hand on his stomach, as a loud laugh parted his lips. Then, you watched him close the door behind him and bend to greet his new friend.
“That’s fair enough!”
“Mase?” You heard a female voice calling him. “Oh, hello darling.” It could only be his mum, who seemed to be just as nice and sweet as her son. 
His smile was just like hers. 
She asked you to call her Debbie instead of Mrs. Mount, and wrapping one arm around you, she led you to the kitchen when you raised the reusable bag on your grip that had some last minute Christmas cooking. Your way of thanking them for welcoming you and not going empty handed. There, you met his brother Lewis who was hands on finishing the meals and a very pregnant Jasmine, who asked you to call her Jaz.
Three kids rushed him, grabbing Mason’s legs, giggling when he tickled them and soon their attention belonged to Mia, who loved her new tiny human friends. 
When you met the rest of the family, it was easy to understand why Mason was that down to earth, genuinely nice guy. Proving you wrong, not once you felt left off, especially when Lewis picked you as his Twister partner, against Mason and his other sister, Stacey.
Beating them left a pouty Mason seek for comfort on your dog’s cuteness, as the children found much interesting to share with you how much fun they had with their uncle Mase at Lapland. 
If the night could get any more perfect, when you were all ready to eat, paper crown on your head, the snow made the most beautiful appearance to celebrate the clock ticking at midnight. Snow would always make your eyes burn with some insisting tears, as you got all emotional and it only increased when you FaceTimed with your family. 
It wasn’t until nearly one in the morning, with the children already in their room completely passed out and Mason’s family chatting in the living groom, that you found him on the kitchen watching the snow fall through the window.
I want to thank the storm that brought the snow
Thanks to the string of lights that make it glow
But I wanna thank you, baby
You make it feel like Christmas
“Finally found you.” You mumbled, walking towards him with a carefully wrapped object on your hands. “I brought you something.”
Mason’s eyes widened a bit but his face quickly softened, a sweet smile curling his lips. “You didn’t need to buy me anything.” 
“I didn’t.” You shook your head. “Never said I bought you something.” You winked, making him giggle. “I’m passing it on to you because I overheard the other day you saying how much you like Game of Thrones but never read the books.”
“Oh, Y/N!” He gasped, quickly ripping the black paper around it to find the Fire & Blood book. He suddenly loved how attached to the details you were. “This is incredible, thank you so much!”
Tugging your hands inside the long sleeved navy blue sweater, and then inside the back pockets of your faded blue jeans, you watched Mason sigh and flash you a shy smile. “What?” You asked.
“I didn’t get you anything.” Mason shrugged, eyes moving from the book to yours.
“How come, Mase?” You took one step forward, closer to him, with the sides of your lips curled on a smile. “Tonight only happened and was perfect for me because of you.” 
And there it was, that wide smile you were beginning to like way too much. 
It barely took a breath to realize
We're gonna be a classic for all time
I wanna thank you, baby
You make it feel like Christmas
“Have you really enjoyed it? Weren’t they too much?” You quickly shook your head, your left hand leaving your pocket to reach for his arm, squeezing it softly. 
“They were absolutely perfect. From Twister to the children giving Mia all the ear and tummy scratches in the world.” You both chuckled. “Thank you, Mason. It felt really good being with a family and being surrounded by so much love, even if they’re not my family.” 
Mason took your hand on his and pressed his lips in the back of it, sending the most delicious shiver through your body. His lips were soft, warm, perfectly wet. “I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but…” Not wanting to move his gaze away, his index finger pointed to whatever it was above you two. You didn’t want to move your gaze away either, but you were curious.
A mistletoe. 
“You’re so cheesy but I like it so much.” Now it was you who kissed the back of his hand, making him finally put an end in the short distance between you two. 
At first, Mason kept his lips softly pressed against yours, but when he cupped your face with both hands and breathed your scent in, your lips parted in a mix of a sigh with the most soft moan, allowing his tongue to slip inside and play with yours in what was the most passionate kiss you ever had. You could taste your shared breath, along with the soft taste of the white wine he had. Your fingers played with his hair, curling it between your fingers.
Parting your lips, you let out a soft groan in disapproval, making Mason flash you a cocky grin. “Stay for the night, everyone will. I don’t want you and Mia out in the storm.” 
You just nodded, lips searching for his again.
But I found forever in that very first kiss
I wanna thank you, baby
You make it feel like Christmas

Topmew: Our Favorite Lovebirds
Disclaimer: Please don’t come making backhanded comments about their relationship. If you wanna discuss them that’s fine, but it’s no reason to post blatant hate, or negativity disguised as compliments.
Topmew are the cutest couple guys, no really they are! They’re the definition of lovebirds and everyone needs to see them in action, so here’s a post just for that. This is also known as: Top and Mew sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g…
1. Their flirting. No one does cute, annoying flirting like Top and Mew! Oh you’re out to eat with them? Get ready to feel like the loneliness third wheel while these two burn a hole into eachother and get so close, you wonder if you’re intruding on something. (You are btw, never go out with them alone)
Tumblr media
2. Their teasing. No their flirting and teasing are not the same, if you end up in a room with them and they start teasing eachother, it’s time to run for cover. These two don’t hold back, it’s always so charged between them! Who is in control? We don’t know okay? All we know is it’s cute, it’s gross, we need to leave the room before we start seeing bare skin. I mean we would love to see it but these two don’t share so…
Tumblr media
3. Alright I know what everyone has been waiting for, yes their dates! We can all agree that Top is the #1 Boyfriend for all these dates he came up with like, wow man he really made a lot of people side eye their partner (I sure side eyed my exes). I can’t believe he was going all out like this and people still called him a player, this guy is a big lover boy!
Tumblr media
4. Their touches are always soft, they treat eachother so gently and with so much care. Their hands are always connected to some part of the other person’s body, and it’s always gentle, tender, soft, soft, soft! They treat each other’s body with care and respect, oh they’re so cute it’s disgusting
Tumblr media
5. They’re so enthusiastic about eachother. If one is talking, the other is on the edge of their seat listening and ready to learn more. They will fully turn their body away from everyone else just to make sure they don’t miss out on the words falling from the other’s lips. I mean they’re just eager to know about eachother it’s so, say it with me now, cute
Tumblr media
6. The respect they have for eachother needs to be mentioned. Listen, they will never try to force the other to change no matter what! They wish the best for each other but they’ll never push, they’ll stand aside and allow the other to make their own decisions, and still love them regardless. To them, it doesn’t matter what the other does as long as they continue to be happy and healthy; we love that for them truly
Tumblr media
7. The way they admire eachother. Now listen, we know they’re attracted to eachother we’re not fools, we can see. But the admiration in their eyes when they see the other doing something, or again when the other person is talking? Yes, that’s the good stuff right there. They admire the other as a person and of course they find each other attractive but man, those eyes get sparkly when they catch eachother doing something they love
Tumblr media
8. They do whatever they can to make the other’s life easier. Oh you can’t sleep because of trauma? Let me lay down with you silly boy. Some asshole bumped you with their bike and broke your glasses? Well I would go after them but you said no, so let me tape them up rather poorly. Whatever they can do to help, they’ll do it! They just want their lover to have an easy day, no matter what
Tumblr media
9. All they need is to be around each other. It doesn’t matter what they’re doing, they don’t have to talk; as long as they’re in each other’s company, they’re happy little campers. They get so giggly about it too, cmon guys it’s people watching you! They’re so comfortable in the other’s presence, they can relax as much as they like and let their guards down for once
Tumblr media
10. Speaking of being giggly, whenever they’re together they’re smiling! What’s so funny guys? We would like to know the joke too, but of course we wouldn’t get it cause it’s not a word, or a look; it’s just pure love. They just find happiness in everything the other does so it breaks across their faces and rises out of their lungs until they’re laughing and ticking the other to make them laugh too! I’m telling you, they can’t help themselves guys, they’re lucky they’re so cute or I would call them losers
Tumblr media
Anyway guys, that’s Topmew for you! These boys are in love and so cute it hurts. They just ooze love. No matter what way you flip it or reverse it, these two are in love. They say it with their eyes, their actions, and of course their mouths. They go the extra mile together, expecting absolutely nothing in return and it’s all because they’re in love. It really just pours out of them yknow?

incoming sandray fight analysis 3 days late, but ray and his attachment issues will never leave my mind
i think i missed a big part of the subtext of this scene initially that seeing some other meta analysis helped me see. ray and sand supposedly don’t speak after sands birthday (it seems like ray tried multiple times to reach out but was ignored), and when sand finally does ask to talk to him again it’s not what ray thinks. ray thought they would talk about eachother, who they are to eachother, what they want, etc. or at the very least go back to their old friendly ways, but instead sand is bringing up mew, bringing up ray being in love with mew, how close ray and mew are, and the duty ray has to mew as his friend (this is already a loaded concept for ray seeing as he finds the need to pay mew back for saving him, and i don’t think that will ever go away even with time).
after receiving the thatcar.mp3 file ray confronts boston, because boston can be cruel to ray to his face all he wants but he won't let boston be a bad friend to mew, except boston says ray would be just as bad as him if he tells mew the truth, but according to sand he'd be fulfilling his duty as ray's friend by revealing the truth, so he is conflicted and confused about his own feelings .
then at mew's birthday party he spends the night as an outsider to his own friend group. when he reveals the audio clip to mew he's probably expecting mew to be thankful, like sand said he would be, or hate him, like boston said, but from what we see mew doesn't have much of a reaction at all. ray couldn't predict how his friend would react to the information, and now he can't understand the reaction, but he still thinks he did the right thing and doesn't understand why no one else around him can see that. he is still confused, and he is still emotionally isolated.
he fully self implodes. he has spent this whole episode as an emotional outsider, and other people have been using his emotions and impulsive emotional responses for their benefit before he himself has the oppurtunity to try to understand how he is feeling. he is filled with rage and self loathing and world shattering loneliness (feeling alone in a crowd, especially the one that is supposed to offer you love and support, is enough to make anyone lose their mind) and he lashes out at everyone and all of things they do that he doesn't understand and that he finds shitty. he even does the thing that has conflicting morality because he feels that regardless of whether it makes him a good friend or a villain he at least owes it to mew for saving him, and mew not only rejects this act, but the person who has offered him the most care and kindness punches him in the face.
ray and his self fulfilling prophecy man, he is a burden, he is bad luck, nobody loves him, and so he is taking everyone down so their weight will make his own fall be that much more painful. and then he storms off.
now to this part of the fight in particular because i also can't stop thinking about it
Tumblr media
"stop thinking about mew and focus on me for once"
i interperet this as sand saying "stop focusing on all the love you haven't/can't receive and focus on what i'm willing to give you in the present". except ray wanted to focus on sand, and sand only spoke to him about mew, the unrequited love ray has, and the emotional debt ray owes. sand turned away from him and then pushed him away.
Tumblr media
"can't you really see that i care about you?"
now i'm not good at reading faces so i don't know what this facial expression means but it isn't happy/relieved. even if ray had the ability to accept sand cares about him, in this moment he feels entirely alone. in fact, this only makes him more confused, he wanted sand who pushed him to mew who has also rejected him once again. he definitely thought sand cared about him before this, but i think ray believes no one could possibly care about him right now (i also think that he is tired of wanting someone to care for him, of hoping someday someone will love him, and so he pushes everyone away so at least he can have some certainty)
Tumblr media
"why would you poke your nose in my buisness?"
why would you come into my life just to push me away? why would you involve me in someone else's problems only for me to fuck it up the way i fuck everything up? why would you reopen the wound that is my attachment to mew? why would you keep following me if all i'll ever be is a burden? why would you say you care about me when i am unable to feel cared for? why did you have to ruin the good thing we had going before you turned away from me that night?
"what are we to eachother?"
i think ray asked this question partly out of anger and partly out of being desperate for a genuine answer. but sand says they are nothing to eachother. ray probably thought sand thought this of him, but was hoping for a different answer, now he has his certainty (also its the self fulfilling prophecy again, ray physically pushes sand away while demanding sand to define their emotional connection)
now lets look at when they start getting physical
[side note, ray starts to turn to get in the car when sand says "you can risk your own life all you want" in case you weren't destroyed by that fact yet]
ray has spent the whole night feeling alone and then ruining his relationships with others, he doesn't believe anyone can or should care for him, so he makes it true (how many times can you say self fulfilling prophecy in a ray analysis post anyway?!?!?) sand is trying to stop ray from himself but the urge to destroy has been ignited and it can't be turned off, so he has to stop sand in return.
i have been kept up at night thinking about how desperate ray sounds while trying to breathe, how desperate he is for space, to be free to destroy himself, for it to be over. he call sand a whore, which everyone and their mother knows isn't true, and at first i thought it was because he needed a reason for sand to despise him but i think it's just as likely ray was just lashing out and wanted something to hurt sand with. after he pushes sand to the ground, he doesn't look proud by what he's done, but he can't stop himself now. and so he drives off alone
i've seen many different thoughts as to where he was going. but whether he was just going home, or drove off knowing it wouldn't end well, he needed to put a stop to this.
ray enthusiasts how we feeling 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
i don't even remember what the point of this anaylisis was anymore at somepoint i lost the plot... anway excited (also tormented by impending sandray scenes) to see what next week brings

“Who the hell are you, and how the fuck did you get in here!?”

"I can't tell you any more than this..." he sighed, averting his gaze. "I left you for a reason, Y/N... 
We cannot be together…"
Your heart plummeted at his words. You reached out, your hands trembling as they grasped his. "You can't possibly believe that...right? 
Right?!" 
Your voice quivered with fear and disbelief, desperately seeking reassurance.
He sighed, looking down at you with a heavy heart. "I wish I was," he admitted, his tone filled with sadness. 
You were on the verge of tears once more. "W-Well..., I don't care," you spat out in frustration and determination. Your grip on his hand tightened, like you were afraid he would dissolve and disappear right then and there.
Miguel's heart warmed at your words. Despite everything, you were willing to fight for your relationship, for him…
However, he knew what was at stake, and he was aware of the horrors that could unfold if you stayed together. Miguel met your gaze, his jaw clenched.
"Well, I do care," he responded, your lips trembling as you cupped his cheeks in your hands, searching his eyes for what you hoped you wouldn't find. 
Sincerity...
Miguel truly meant what he had said. He believed that you and he weren't meant to be.
"W-why? P-please, tell me why?" you pleaded through your tears. Miguel's eyes teared up as well, and he wrapped his arms tightly around your waist, pulling you even closer to him. 
"I-I'm sorry... I can't tell you, Y/N." 
You sobbed even harder, burying your face into his muscular chest that was covered in his holographic suit. A tear slid down Miguel's cheek as he felt the devastating impact of the prophecy tearing the two of you apart. 
He gently cupped your chin with his fingers, lifting your tear-stained face to meet his gaze. Your complexion was completely flushed, your cheeks pink and glistening from your tears. 
Even in this state, Miguel couldn't help but find you utterly breathtaking.
The more Miguel looked at you, the more his heart tugged, and the more he remembered...
When he left you and tried to fill the gaping hole in his heart that you had occupied, it proved utterly impossible. 
He became a workaholic, throwing himself into the task of maintaining the stability and protection of the multiverse. It was a demanding and hectic job, filled with sporadic challenges, but even so, it just wasn't enough.
His loneliness, longing, sadness, and frustration at not having you by his side manifested as anger and fury. 
He was always irritable, quick-tempered, and grumpy. The other Spider-people in the society probably couldn't stand him. He was nearly impossible to impress, hard to please. He blew up over the smallest of things and considered everything about his existence to be a living hell.
As before, his solution to his problems was isolation. He locked himself in his office, distancing himself from the other Spider-people and from destiny itself. In his office, he was forced to focus on one thing and one thing only: his job.
Day after day, he stood in the same spot, fixated on those damn screens. Sometimes, he would go for days without seeing the sun, without drinking water, without eating, even neglecting to inject himself with the serum that helped curb his blood cravings.
He might have gone mad if it weren't for Lyla. She was a constant presence, always reminding him of his vital tasks, urging him to take his injections, get lunch, and more. Sometimes he ignored her, but Lyla was persistent…
His trusted A.I. remembered you well. It wasn't easy for her to forget you, especially given Miguel's state of mind. She knew he missed you, and she understood that your absence was the root cause of his depression. 
However, Lyla also bore witness to Miguel's discovery of the horrifying fate that seemed to await your relationship. As a hologram and purely logical technology, she could only analyze the situation from a rational standpoint.
Despite Miguel's emotions and pain, she believed that how he was handling it was, in some way, better than the alternative…
..
.
Right now, Miguel held you in his arms, his crimson eyes taking in every detail of your presence.
You were here with him, not on Earth-2099, and regardless of how much he believed he needed you gone to avoid the impending fate of your relationship, he couldn't help but miss you.
Every part of you...
Your smile, your laughter, your voice, the way you talked, even the small mannerisms that were oblivious to yourself but so familiar to Miguel.
He missed you so damn bad…
As he held you in his arms, feeling your feminine curves pressed against his muscular frame, the desire to express how much he loved you welled up within him. Despite everything, he wanted you to know that he would continue to love you endlessly, even though this might be your last time together...
You continued to weep in Miguel's arms, and he couldn't tear his eyes away from your trembling lips. He licked his own, aching to kiss you and make amends for all the hurt and pain he had caused you over the past seven years.
"May I?" Miguel whispered, his gaze fixed on your trembling, soft, and plush lips once more. His question surprised you, prompting you to open your eyes. But when you looked up at him, you saw something that left you shocked.
Miguel's eyes were brimming with love, devotion, and longing, the very sight you had hoped to witness when you first arrived on Earth-928. 
It was the same look he used to give you...
After a long day of fighting crime, when you returned home to each other, or even as you drifted to sleep in each other's embrace, Miguel's crimson eyes always held that nostalgic look of pure love for you. 
It was all you had ever wanted, needed, and desired for the past seven years. The sight of it made your heart flutter, and your breath quickened in response.
Miguel found your surprised expression to be absolutely beautiful and gorgeous. He brushed his thumb along your lips, tracing them with the pad of his finger, causing your breath to hitch.
Without a second thought, you nodded hastily, and Miguel didn't hesitate to press his lips against yours.
Your lips collided in a kiss that was both tender and passionate, bearing the weight of years' worth of pent-up longing. In that moment, the two of you realized just how long it had truly been since your separation, the burning urge to touch, taste, and feel each other overwhelming your senses.
Miguel kissed you eagerly as you reciprocated with the same fervor. His calloused hands moved down your body, caressing your thighs, hips, and ass in an effort to feel your every curve through his gloves. You moaned softly against his lips. 
The kiss was becoming more heated as time went on. Miguel's powerful arms encircled you, effortlessly lifting your body off the ground. Your legs wrapped around his waist, and your arms settled around his neck, whilst his hands fell into place under your rear. 
He'd forgotten how good it felt to hold you like this; you were practically weightless in his arms.
“Gosh, you don’t know how much I’ve missed you, Y/N.” 
He mumbled amidst the passionate kiss, his voice raw with desperation, and it became evident just how much he had yearned for you – as much as you had yearned for him. Your heart fluttered at his heartfelt words, deeply moved by the sincerity of his emotions.
Miguel gave your ass a small squeeze whilst continuing to kiss you, his feet moving to the couch where he laid you gently upon the plush cushions. Your hair sprouted out under you whilst your back rested against the black, leather sofa. Miguel positioned himself over you, his knee gently pressing between your legs and his arms holding his body up as he continued to kiss your lips passionately.
He pulled away to marvel at you, the sight under him, breathtaking. 
You gazed up at him, breathless, your chest heaving with desire. Your lips were puffy and reddened from the passionate kisses, and your cheeks still glistened from your previous tears. Your body was tightly hugged by your red and blue holographic spider suit, the one he had created specifically for you. The suit accentuated every alluring curve and feature that drove Miguel wild with desire.
Your mesmerizing breasts, alluring curves, mouthwatering thighs, and luscious ass.
He could only fantasize about these features of you for the past seven years. When his high, lust, and want for you become too much for him to bear, he'll jerk off to old images of you. It was never satisfying, but it did crave his need momentarily, 
but now…
His crimson eyes darkened, his large, gloved hands feeling up and down your sides, squeezing the alluring flesh through your suit to make sure this wasn't a dream. He groaned when he heard the all too familiar moans that escaped your lips at his touch. 
He smirked, leaning down to capture your lips in another searing kiss. You responded eagerly, intoxicated by his lips that you had craved so much for so long.
"Miggy…" You whispered between kisses. "I want you…please." Your begs eliciting a growl from the depths of Miguel's chest. "As you wish, Cariño." He purred, kissing along your cheeks whilst his thick fingers slid up to your neck to locate the buttons to your suit. 
Your breathing quickened once you heard the soft click against your neck. Your suit began to flicker and disintegrate from around you, revealing your nude being to Miguel.
Miguel's crimson eyes roamed frantically over your body, trying to take in as much as he could, savoring this beautiful sight in front of him. His suit was starting to become overwhelmingly tight, squeezing his hardened arousal. He bit his lip, running a hand along your bare stomach. 
You shivered at his touch, looking up at your muscular and large lover. His tanned lips pulled into a smirk, his gloved hand moving along your body caressing your bare skin but avoiding your sensitive areas. 
Miguel wanted to prolong this for as long as he could…
"Fuck, eres tan hermosa, bebé" 
He tenderly kissed and sucked your neck, marking you as his. You whimpered, wrapping your arms around his huge backside, pulling him closer to you. 
"M-Miggy…I-I want you to-"
"Patience, mi amor." He chuckled, pressing one final kiss to your neck before pulling away to meet your desirous and pleading gaze. You gave Miguel a pout which only caused his smile to deepen at how cute you were. 
He cupped your cheek in his large hand, caressing it with his thumb. "I want to cherish you, bebé. Worship that gorgeous body of yours that I've missed for so long.” He said, his voice deep, husky, and incredibly seductive that it made the heat between your legs throb. He leaned in close, teasing you. 
He kissed your forehead, then moved down to your nose, cheeks, along your jawline, and chin, finally reaching the corners of your lips. You moaned softly, relishing in the small pleasures Miguel was bringing to your body. 
“Will you allow me to do that for you, mi amor? 
Worship you?” 
He whispered against your lips. Miguel’s crimson eyes stared down at your soft, puffy lips before meeting your gaze. He already knew your answer to his question, but he wanted to hear it from that pretty little mouth of yours. 
You didn't have to ponder his question for long. The answer was right there on the tip of your tongue, like a word you had known for years. Your response was undeniable, and you were certain Miguel knew that too.
"Yes," you uttered, your voice filled with anticipation and desire for him. "Please, Miguel," you pleaded as he loomed above you.
Your words made Miguel’s cock painfully harden under his tight spider suit. He growled, smashing his lips upon yours once again. You moaned against his lips, your body craving him the more your fiery kiss prolonged. 
Miguel groaned deeply, savoring the closeness between you. His lips devoured yours for what felt like an eternity, like an unbreakable spell had cast the two of you into a state of perpetual love, adoration, and desire for one another.
Miguel’s hands trailed down your figure whilst his lips continued to consume yours. When he finally came into contact with what he desired, he groped your bare chest in his large hand. His calloused palm completely enclosing your supple breast. 
You gasped, pulling away from him, your eyes half-lidded, and your cheeks flushed. He smirked at your reaction, beginning to tease and roll your hardened nipple with his thumb. 
Endless moans escaped your lips that made Miguel’s heart warm. He had longed to hear those sweet sounds from you for so long. It was like music to his ears, and he never wanted it to end.
Your body was filled with overwhelming bursts of pleasure, and it didn’t help that Miguel was looking so sexy over you. 
Your core leaked with your juices at just the knowledge of every delectable feeling of bliss that spread through your body was caused by him. A burning desire to be filled by his huge cock overwhelmed your being, your thighs coated in your essence.
"You like that, mi amor?" He asked with a toothy grin, his sharp fangs peeking out from under his lip, his forefinger and thumb continuing to knead the nipples of your breasts. You whimpered and mewled uncontrollably under him, your body becoming so hot and needy. 
"Yes, mmm, please, Miguel. I-I can't." You begged once again, bringing a smirk to Miguel's lips. Miguel leaned down releasing one of your nipples, to take it into his mouth, sucking gently, feeling the pebble harden further under his ministrations. He groaned softly, his cock twitching rampantly under his restrictive spider suit. 
You moaned, running your fingers through his dark strands. He hummed, his eyes shut and relishing in your delicious touch and taste. His fangs grazing your hardened nipple made you gasp and a blissful sensation spread throughout your entire body. 
Miguel was becoming more and more drunk off of you. His tanned cheeks hollowed as he slowly began to suck sharply and harder at your breasts. He took your chest into his large hands squeezing softly whilst licking, kissing, and occasionally nipping at each one. 
Your entire body was overwhelmingly hot, your core dripping with your juices. Heavy breaths escaped your lips whilst you couldn't stop the many erotic sounds and noises that Miguel was pulling from your very being.
He continued to ravage your chest, placing one hand on your lower back, holding you steady. You were so blinded by the powerful sensations that you didn't feel your lover's large, gloved hand moving from your chest to slip lower down your body towards your heated desire, until his fingers found your throbbing bud. 
A loud, sudden moan escaped your lips at his touch against your sensitive area. Miguel chuckled at your reaction. "Ah, such beautiful noises you are making for me, bebé." He cooed, pecking your lips and quickening his circular motion on your sensitive bud.
Your eyes fluttered, trembling slightly as the blinding and alluring pleasure took over your being. "M-Miggy…It feels s-so good." You moaned, gripping onto his broad shoulders. 
He snickered, brushing a few strands of your hair behind your ears, his fingers never ceasing its pace on your swollen clit. You squirmed and moaned whilst Miguel brought you closer and closer to your sweet end. 
"Do you wish for more, Cariño?" His voice, gravelly and rough, sending a tingly sensation straight to your throbbing core. You frantically nodded, your face flushed. "Y-yes, mmm. P-please give me more Miggy." 
He didn't hesitate to give you what you desired, slipping a gloved, thick finger into your needy hole. You jolted against the leather cushions at the wonderful intrusion. You mewled loudly, his finger thrusting long and deep inside of you. 
"Hmm…so tight bebé." He purred, his eyes taking in your disheveled hair, blissful and crimson cheeks, supple breasts, and glistening skin that was decorated with slowly growing love bites on your neck and chest. 
He inserted another into your tight heat, his two digits pumping in and out of you. "You like this Cariño? My fingers stretching you out?" He huskily asked, his long fingers curling and reaching deep inside of your dripping cunt, hitting your G-spot repeatedly.
You couldn't respond only frantically nod, moans spilling rapidly from your lips. Miguel chuckled, kissing you deeply. With every thrust of your fingers, his palm pressed against your clit making you mewl. Your whimpers were muffled as Miguel continued to kiss you, loving the sounds you were making because of him. 
The sensations started to be too much for you to bear; your body began to tremble horribly. The knots in your stomach were tightening; your breathing increased. 
You were close, very close…
"M-Miggy…" You whimpered airly, pulling away from his lips. The words were so very nostalgic on your tongue; Miguel instantly knew what you meant. He grinned, positioning himself better over you, his fingers pounding roughly into you. 
"Cum for me Muñeca; show me how much you've missed me." 
His intense gaze, and sexy body hovering over you, along with his quickened thrusts inside of your dripping core made your pussy flutter around his digits. 
Instantly you released, your orgasm intense and powerful. You moaned loudly, jerking against the cushion. Your vision became cloudy whilst the feeling of pure bliss and euphoria overwhelmed your senses. Miguel groaned, feeling your tight walls clamp around his thick fingers.
His crimson eyes peered up at you, a small smile dressing his lips to see your flushed cheeks and satisfied eyes staring back at him. He pulled his glistening fingers from your puffy pussy lips, bringing the two gloved digits to his mouth. He moaned softly, tasting your heavenly nectar on his tongue. 
"Sweet and delicious…just like I remembered." Miguel uttered with a smirk, extracting his saliva coated fingers from his mouth. You bit your lip, your eyes trailing his muscular being that laid over you. 
"Please Miguel. L-let me see you." You begged, running your palms along his toned biceps, broad shoulders, defined pecs and abs that were all covered by his sexy red and blue holographic suit.
He groaned, his eyes briefly closing, relishing in your touch. He took your palm in his large hand, pressing a kiss to your knuckles that made your heart soar. "Of course, mi amor." 
You bit your lip in anticipation, your eyes following his every move. He placed your hand softly against your stomach before moving to his white multiverse watch that adorned his left wrist. With a few swipes and digital clicks, his red and blue holographic suit began to disintegrate from his body, revealing his tanned, large, muscular being. 
You were practically salivating at the wonderful sight before you…
Miguel's sculpted physique was a masterpiece of strength and sensuality, each muscle carved to perfection. Every sinewy limb exuded a graceful power, with veins beneath his taut skin tracing the contours of his body. 
His bronzed skin seemed to emit warmth, tempting one to reach out and touch. Miguel's smoldering intensity in his eyes felt familiar and nostalgic, assuring you that the moments ahead would be worth the anticipation.
The broad expanse of his chest and shoulders exuded an unmistakable sense of robustness, while his well-defined abs created an irresistible path leading downwards to his remarkable and impressive length. 
His enormous shaft was well-endowed and absolutely amazing. It was completely erect and hardened, his brown, reddish tip already dripping with precum. 
It made you feel fortunate to be graced with such a sight before you. Miguel was a work of art, a blessing to your eyes that grew more captivating with each lingering gaze.
Miguel was filled with pride as he peered down at you, noticing your wandering eyes that lingered over him repeatedly. He bit his lip, relishing the attention you were bestowing upon him, which only fueled his desire even further. 
He was ready for you, and wanted nothing more than to feel the tightness of your walls around his pulsating length.
You wet your lips, reaching out to feel his bare skin and muscles under your palms.
You’ve missed this feeling so much…
His muscles felt unyielding and sculpted beneath your fingers, and you could clearly sense the significant difference compared to the last time you touched him. His body had grown bigger, more substantial, impressively solid, and even more taut. 
You could tell he had dedicated himself to working out extensively over the past seven years, and it sent tingles through your body, making your stomach flutter with longing. 
Miguel shivered under your touch, his cock twitching. Miguel needed you. As your soft palms glided across his toned figure, his need for you grew increasingly overwhelming.
"Mmm bebé…I need you.” He groaned, peering down at you. “Are you ready for me, Cariño?" Miguel asked, his massive cock brushing against your stomach while he hovered over you. You gasped softly at the feeling, biting your lip and nodding. "Y-yes, Miggy…I'm ready." You uttered, meeting his crimson gaze with desperate eyes. 
He brushed a strand of your hair behind your ear, smiling. 
"Spread your legs for me." 
He whispered, making your heart skip a beat. You hastily obeyed, opening your legs for him. He groaned softly at the sight of your glistening pussy lips, completely soaked in your juices and eager for him. 
He leaned down, leaving a trail of kisses along your stomach, pelvis before lastly, pressing a kiss upon your clit causing you to gasp. He smirked, looking up at you. 
He took his massive cock into his hand, gliding his length along your slick folds and clit making you whine.  He chuckled, a satisfied hum passing his lips as he continued to tease you. "M-Miggy, please." You begged, clenching the leather cushions in your palms. Miguel smiled at your eagerness and the mutual desire you both shared.
"Okay…" He grinned, halting his teasing. He bit his lip, pressing his tip to your soaken entrance. You moaned loudly when he began to push into your tight walls. You squirmed, breathing heavily as he filled you up completely. 
Miguel was always big. His 10-inch cock being over the normal average and holding huge features in all aspects; every time you saw it, it always amazed you. Not only was he enormous, Miguel knew his way around the bedroom which always made your time spent together delightful and always satisfying. 
But before, you've always been able to take him so well, but due to your long separation…
He was massive…
"M-Miggy, t-too big." You whimpered, your legs trembling around him. Miguel grunted. "Hmm, I know, mi amor. You'll get used to me.”  He growled, halting his movements to allow you time to adjust. 
"Let me know when you are ready." He breathed, pressing a kiss to your forehead. You nodded, feeling Miguel's huge cock stretch you out completely. You bit your lip, whimpering and moaning softly at the gradual expanding of your tight walls around his shaft. 
Miguel felt you strain and clench around him causing him to faintly groan. His crimson eyes were trained on your face, hoping that after all this time that his huge length didn't bring you any discomfort. He had missed you immensely and would secretly be upset if you asked him to stop; so he felt an overwhelming sense of relief when you nodded, giving him the signal to continue. He smiled, beginning to move further into your tight cunt, stretching you more as he entered. 
He gritted his teeth, his pearly white fangs bearing down on the other at his slow insertion. With eyes tightly closed, you moaned helplessly, surrendering to the overwhelming sensations of intense pleasure that consumed you.
Miguel's eyes remained fixed on you, carefully observing every expression that crossed your face as he began to move at a slow pace inside of you. Your eyes fluttered and rolled, his substantial size filling you completely with each rhythmic thrust, each one as potent as the first, stealing your breath away each time.
The sensation of continuous fullness felt like you were suspended in an eternal state of ecstasy, oblivious to the passage of time.
Miguel continued in his gentle movements inside you, even though his desire was to accelerate his pace; he was determined to wait until you were fully prepared for him.
"Hmm, talk to me, bebé. How does it feel?" Breathlessly, he asked, his hips maintaining their slow and steady rhythm inside you. You moaned softly, struggling to find your words whilst  Miguel's impressive size continued to drive you into a state of blissful ecstasy.
"G-good, s-so good," you slurred. Thankfully, your words were intelligible enough for Miguel to understand, and he smiled. "Mmm, do you want more, Cariño?"
You looked up at Miguel, his crimson eyes practically pleading for your affirmation. 
That look meant the world to you… 
Delicately, you caressed his cheek with your thumb and nodded, whispering, "Y-yes...I want more, Miggy."
Miguel smirked, his fangs protruding from his lips, his eyes growing even redder. "Let me know if it becomes too much," he gruffly said, placing his large hands on either side of your head, burying his face into your neck.
"Are you ready, mi amor?"
You tightly wrapped your arms around his muscular backside. "Y-yes," you responded, your voice trembling with desire. Miguel groaned and then began moving his hips more urgently, his thrusts becoming rougher, faster, and deeper.
You moaned loudly, your eyes fluttering as Miguel gave you his all, wanting you to feel how much he had missed you, how much he desired this moment. He kissed your neck passionately. "Hmm... you feel so fucking good, Cariño," he groaned against your neck, his powerful thrusts never ceasing.
Your stomach was rapidly tightening, every powerful thrust bringing you closer to the brink of ecstasy. You were a moaning, quivering mess, your mind reduced to a pleasurable haze whilst Miguel's impressive length expertly fulfilled your desires in every possible way.
You had longed for this moment, yearning for Miguel so intensely during the years of separation. The passion between you two had always been scorching and profoundly satisfying. 
Over the seven years apart, you could only revisit those memories in your head when the need for release overwhelmed you. Masturbation and the use of toys had been your solace, temporarily soothing the ache for Miguel that never truly went away.
Now, after all this time, you were absolutely certain that your memories couldn't do justice to the incredible reality before you.
"M-Miguel!" You cried out, his cock driving deep inside you with every powerful thrust. "Fuck, mi amor." Miguel's deep, primal growl resonated against your skin, his biceps flexing and his arm muscles bulging as he pounded into you with all his strength. The room reverberated with the explicit sounds of your skin slapping together, a symphony of unbridled passion and desire.
You clung to Miguel like he were your lifeline, a grounding force in this overwhelmingly pleasurable moment. Your toes curled, and your body quivered whilst Miguel relentlessly pistoned his hips into your dripping core.
You dug your nails into Miguel's back, drawing blood and moaning loudly, while he groaned in a mixture of pleasure and pain. In a matter of seconds, his deep cuts on his back were miraculously healed. Miguel panted, pulling away from your neck to meet your eyes.
"Tell me, Y/N, how much did you miss this?" he growled, his hips never ceasing their passionate assault.
"Is this what you fantasize about at night?" Miguel's voice, husky and commanding, oozed with irresistible allure. "My cock pleasing you just the way you like it, knowing no one else can satisfy you like I can?"
You frantically nodding, the leather couch audibly moving against the black flooring of Miguel's office with the two of your erotic movements.
"I want to hear you, bebé," he groaned, his hands firmly gripping your hips. "I want to know what you imagine when you pleasure yourself."
Your lips trembled, your chest heaving, trying to balance the overwhelming pleasure with coherent thought. "Y-yes, I-I think of you, Miggy," you slurred, moaning, clinging to his back tightly. "I-I imagine your cock every s-single night, Miguel." 
Miguel growled from deep in his throat, slamming his lips onto yours once more. He continued to move his hips into you, his cock burrowing deep into your inner walls. "Cariño, I don't think you know how much power you have over me," he purred against your lips. You let out a passionate whimper, the sound being swallowed by Miguel's mouth while he continued to kiss and thrust into you.
Waves of unbearable tingles continuously spread through your body, while your stomach burned terribly, pleading for release. "M-Miggy,  I-I'm close," you whimpered. Miguel gently pecked your lips before pulling away. He took your hands in his large ones, entwining your fingers, his thumbs caressing the knuckles.
"Hmm, I want your eyes on me, mi amor." 
He huskily demanded, his crimson eyes locking onto yours. You obediently nodded, maintaining your gaze on him. He smiled before resuming his rhythmic thrusts with exquisite precision.
Even after all these years, Miguel knew your desires intimately, understanding you inside and out. It didn't take long for him to rediscover that sweet spot and stimulate it relentlessly. He smirked, savoring the sound of your escalating moans, his hips colliding with yours, and propelling you towards the pinnacle of pleasure.
You clenched his hands tightly, your eyes locked onto his with unwavering intensity. Your body trembled uncontrollably, allowing the pent-up pleasure to erupt from you like a bursting dam.
"M-Miguel, I'm cumming!" you exclaimed loudly, your voice filled with ecstasy. 
"Cum for me, baby, and keep your eyes on me. Don't look away," 
He seductively whispered, maintaining his quickened pace inside of you. You obeyed his command, keeping your gaze firmly fixed on him whilst your orgasm overtook you. You moaned loudly, your body convulsing, squeezing his hands tightly.
Miguel groaned in response, feeling your walls grip him intensely. He thrusted deeply into you one final time before pulling out, releasing onto your stomach. His white, sticky release shot from his tip and settled on your belly, coating your skin in his essence. Miguel, thickly swallowing, panted heavily, slowly coming down from his intense high.
He released your hands and cupped your face in his large palm. "Amazing, mi amor. You did wonderful," he praised, pressing gentle kisses on your forehead, his affection evident in his tender touch. 
"T-Thank you Miggy." You smiled lovingly up at him, and he responded by kissing your lips deeply, savoring the sweet moment. When he finally pulled away, a mischievous smirk played on his lips, eliciting a giggle from you. "What is it?" you asked, your grin mirroring his.
"Are you up for round two? I'm just getting started with you, Cariño," he chuckled, twirling a strand of your hair between his fingers as he hovered over you. His eyes locked onto your face. You smiled and nodded in response.
"Okay... let's go again…”

Law's wedding day
Fluffy, fluffy sfw story about Law x fem!reader getting married. In this first part it's the evening before this great event and he thinks about his past.
Tumblr media
Tomorrow was the big day, Law would marry the love of his life and everyone he ever cared about was there. It was absolutely overwhelming to him, he couldn't fathom that this was really happening. There had been enough moments in his life when this seemed like a fever dream. First he thought he wouldn't live that long - than he was driven by revenge. But he found someone that completely changed his priorities and turned his life upside down, for the better.
He sat in his room in the polar tang and dreaded the tradition that he had to be apart from her on the night before their wedding. It was the first time in months that he had to endure a night without her and the loneliness didn't really help his anxiety.
His gaze fell on his suit hanging on the wall, ready for the big day. It suddenly seemed to big to fill for him. Too much meaning entwined within. Would he be a good husband? What did he know of love or family?
Like so often when he felt alone and had no one to turn to, he looked up to the night sky. It made him think of all the people that where gone. And in moments like these, it felt like a conduit to the past.
"Hey Cora-San, how are you?", he began talking to the stars above him. He didn't have a picture or a reminder of him, so he just spoke to the same sky he had once shared with his savior. "You wouldn't believe what happened. I asked her to marry me and she said yes! I will be a husband. I will have a family.", he happily announced, imagining Corazon smoking on his bed. "I'm really proud of you Law!", he would say. "I knew you could do it! You're free!", he would probably add proudly.
He would be so proud, Law thought as the image of his dear friend faded and he was alone again. I wish he could be there when I say my vows. I wish he would slip and fall on the dancefloor the whole evening. The thought made him chuckle. But he won't.
Like many he'd cared about - he won't be there. It has been so long, Law could only guess what his parents might be like on his wedding day. Would his father have made a far too long, awkward speech, spiked with typical dad jokes? He hoped so. Would his mother have cried when he kissed his bride? Maybe. And Lami...? He didn't even know who she would have become. But he was sure she would have been unnerving and wild and absolutely wonderful.
As his thoughts where slipping towards all he had lost, there was a knock on the door. "Law?", Bepo's familiar murmur came from beneath the door. "Law, are you awake?"
"Yes, what is it?", Law answered.
"I can't sleep, I am so nervous", the blushing bear confessed as he opened the door. "Can we...I mean can we just...talk?"
"Sure", Law pointed at his bed and his first men sat down with a groan. "Aren't you nervous?", he asked shyly.
"A little", Law answered, raking his hands through his hair. "It is a big day after all."
"It is", Bepo said.
They sat in silence for a few moments, the huge mink staring at his fumbling paws. "I hope I don't mess up my speech", he said softly.
"And even if, it would be funny", Shachi's voice said from the half open door. "Mind if we join you?", Penguin asked while already pressing past his buddy.
Law knows that he won't be able to stop them and points towards the bed. All three of them where sitting there squeezed on his small bed in the small cabin, Law sitting at his desk. They brought some grog, for the nerves and where in the highest of spirits. "MAN LAW I am so HAPPY", Shachi announces to half the ship. "This will be an awesome wedding! I'm gonna eat and drink so much!", Penguin chimes in. It seemed to inspire Bepo, the bear seemed happier and more relaxed. "Oh, I look forward to my suit. Law and me have similar outfits. It will be so great!", his black eyes gleamed with unfiltered joy.
A chuckle escaped Law's throat, his gloomy thoughts gone. "Now you smile Law, but wait until I tell everyone in my speech what a weird kid you were!", Shachi joked. "What?! At my wedding? In front of my bride?", Law shook his fist. "Like the story when you tried to use your powers to fly and hit your head so hard you almost past out?"
Penguin, Shachi and Bepo exploded in laughter - it was so infectious Law couldn't help but smile, too. "If you do that it's toilet cleaning duty for a month!", Law reprimanded him.
"What's going on here, you guys are so loud I can barely sleep!", Hakugan stood in the door frame with his hands on his hips, his white mask gleaming like a ghost in the shadows.
"Yeah, you look so tired, man!", Penguin teases and they laugh some more.
"Jeez boys, can you tune it down?", Ikakkus locks appeared behind Hakugan. "If you're throwing a party at least tell us?", she complained. Law could already see more figures in the hallway as both of them squeezed into the tiny room, too.
"It's getting really crowded in here", Law said, jumping a little in his chair when Jean Barts giant face appeared in the porthole of Law's room.
"Hey, I want to party, too!", his muffled voice could be heard from outside. "There is no party here", Law screamed at the crowded cabin. "Party? We're in!", Law could hear even more of his crew from outside. This was getting out of hand - everyone pushed into his room.
Unnerved, he summoned a room that engulfed the ship and teleported everyone, including himself, on deck, so he could finally breathe again. When everyone thumbed onto the polar tang, there was a short moment of confusion - until Penguin screamed "PARTY ON DECK", followed by a collective "YEAH!", as everyone started bustling around to get tables, food and drink outside to get the party really going. Law stood there, baffled, as he watched his crew.
They where a great bunch, he would be getting married to a great girl. On the horizon, he could see the lights of the straw hat's boat. They were great friends. Fully realising that he was surrounded by his friends - his found family, Law couldn't be happier. For the first time in so many years, he could hardly wait what the future would bring him. With a laugh, he joined his crew.
Tumblr media
In the next part, Law's wedding will take place. There will be quite a lot of fun. Will Bepo mess up his speech? What will the straw hat crew do? Who will take the microphone and sing karaoke?
