(Let me defend myself by saying this is one of my earlier fics that I forgot about 🧍so it's really bad lmao)
Warnings: None.
Summary: You couldn't sleep, so you call for Xiao.
Female reader! Happy reading :)
[Y/N] stared at the ceiling, counting all the cracks there was before losing count and starting again. How long has it been? Hours? A light groan erupted from her lips as she tossed and turned. She thought maybe she could bore herself to sleep but no! The world hated her, as always. She found herself huffing in annoyance, perhaps was it the lack of warmth or comfortableness? Or was it both?
Or did the Archons feel like making everything harder for her? Sleep was the only escape from such troubles.
She gazed back into the darkness, the darkness reminding her of a certain male. Xiao. His eyes displayed no emotions, only darkness that rivalled the night sky. [Y/N] softly smiled at the mental image of him, he was truly a view to behold. His rich amber orbs glimmered with such horror, hiding away the deepest secrets of the world. His skin fair and pale like snow, pillowy to the touch. His green frosted tips always danced with the breeze alongside with his mask, softer than wool and silkier than Eri Silk, it made her envious.
"If you awake to a knife at your throat. If monsters dig their claws into you. If death comes knocking at your door, call out my name, Adeptus Xiao. And I will be there when you call," He spoke with his usual cold tone, his gaze piercing a hole into her skull before he hid away his face with his mask, disappearing into thin air, leaving the (H/C)-haired girl speechless.
She chuckled at the memory. That was probably the first time he spoke more than one sentence to her. She found it funny when he waited for her to abandon him, who the hell said she was going to leave a precious find like him? Only such fools would. And when he finally realised that. He begun to warm up to her to the point where he shared his Almond Tofu with her.
"Xiao," She whispered to the darkness.
With a gust of air, the adeptus stood in front of her, spear in hand, ready to fight off any monster. His eyes widened when all he saw was the female resting on her bed. Of course, he was relieved that no harm overcame her, but it irked him that she called him for no reason.
"There is no danger, why have you called for me?" The said male glared at her through his mask, giving [Y/N] shivers even though she couldn't see him.
"I couldn't sleep," She replied, snuggling deeper into the covers.
His sigh was laced with annoyance, "Why are you mortals so bothersome?"
He would admit that she was quite the bold one, she was truly extraordinary for a mere mortal. Her presence was overwhelming, not like his, fearsome and full of hatred. It was more of a peaceful one. With a mix of excitement, which explained her bubbliness.
"Awh, do you not love me?" Her tone mocked sorrow as she stifled a chuckle.
The sound of light footsteps approached her, leaving her question unanswered as he set his polearm against the wall and his mask on her bedside table.
"Move over."
His demand left the female shocked, he never did anything like this, but she wasn't complaining. After all, she wanted this anyways. She shuffled under the covers, lifting up the heap blankets for him to come in. The mattress dipped next to her as the adeptus laid next to her, his face inches away from hers. His hair sprawled over her pillow as her gaze trailed down to his lips. The corners of his lips barely tugged upwards; they were sternly pulled into a thin line all the time.
His arms slithered around her waist, pulling her into his chest, "Stupid mortal, always messing with my head," He mumbled softly as he watched her eyelids hide away her (e/c) hues. Seeing her so peaceful gave him a sense of warmth somehow. He raised his hand to ghostly caress her cheek, his touch could be compared to a feathers'.
"Go to sleep, I will be here."
[y/n] smiled, feeling the heat rush to her cheeks at his words and the affection given from him, she knew she was the only one he trusted enough for him to do so. And she was grateful for it.
"Goodnight, Xiao," She whispered, falling into a peaceful slumber.

just smth about you working at a cafe,, and higu pays you a visit. plot is almost going nowhere hshshs,, and yes this is as fluffy as it can get lmao.
. dividers by @/cafekitsune !! 🌻
Tumblr media
The sounds of the bells ringing from atop of the entrance door caught your attention, which is a signal that someone has walked into the cafe that you’re currently working at. The cafe itself was actually being run by one of your friends, which she had offered you a place to work there back then. 
Upon noticing the familiar face of your beloved, a happy smile immediately made its way to your face; hands automatically starting to brew some fresh hot coffee for him as usual. Higuruma didn’t need to tell you anything– you always knew his favourite drink whatsoever. 
Heck, even making some of his favourite sandwiches out of love for him. The dark-haired attorney always appreciates your efforts in ways that you possibly imagined.
By the time he’s about to make some order by the counter, you have already placed the coffee in front of him– which always, and always managed to catch him by surprise, before thanking you for your sweet and thoughtful gesture.
Higuruma sips on his coffee slowly after finding a rather reserved seat just nearby where you are; trying to savour the taste of it, yet his eyes couldn’t resist from glancing at your form occasionally. You were always so hardworking to him, and it’s one of your main traits that he finds captivating. 
“What’s with the stare?” You let a small chuckle out of you, now noticing how he begins to not shy away his constant gaze at you. He returns the same chuckle, propping one hand atop of the counter and rests his head there.
“What, I can’t appreciate looking at you and admiring your beauty?” Higuruma replies in a slightly lower tone, yet with a hint of teasing, as if to make sure you’re the only one who heard it closely.
“That’s kinda sappy,” you laughed humorously, yet also finding it actually sweet. “I appreciate that.”
His breath begins to hitch in his throat when you decide to do a bit of a bold move– gradually and slightly leaning your face closer to his, but still leaving some space for him to breathe.
“Could say the same to you, Mr. Lawyer.” 
His reaction actually satisfies you once you retreat from your initial stance; getting him all flustered that he had to loosen his tie a bit, and the clearing of his throat. Luckily, by some miracle, no one saw it.
But your co-worker friend has sent you a cheeky grin from afar, letting you have your moment alone with him, even though your shift is almost over. She’s the sweetest.
“Not so sappy when it’s just the truth.”
“But still..” You both shared a heartwarming laugh with one another. At least, you’re here to make him try to forget about his stresses from earlier cases.
“I’m not gonna take back what I’ve been saying though,” Higuruma grins lovingly at you. “I think your hard work alone would put even my skills to shame.”
“Nah, don’t sell yourself short!”
“Did anything happen today?” You finally changed the topic with another, wanting to know about your beloved instead as you gazed at him intently. All the while placing your hand atop of his as a sign of unspoken comfort.
“Got a quite difficult case today actually,” he shrugs and slouches over slightly; grasping back onto your hand with an equal affection underlying within it. 
“It’s just the usual client stuff, don’t worry. I’m handling it alright so far, but enough about me. How are things going here? How are you doing?”
A quiet exhale came from you by his answer. Even when his day isn’t really going well, he always has you in his mind instead– a trait that you find endearing, but it didn’t manage to stop the feeling of concern from resurfacing for his well-being.
“Everything’s going well here, don’t worry about me.”
“I’m so sorry that you had a rough day,” you gave your beloved a sympathetic smile. “Is there anything I can do about it?”
“Well–” His thumb brushes along your knuckles ever so tenderly, as if he’s afraid of possibly hurting you in the process. “--your presence alone is already enough for me, I promise you.”
“Just a little tired, that is. But it’ll pass soon; I’ve worked through tougher cases before.”
Knowing all too well that any attempt to shot back his statement will be futile, you eventually sighed in agreement. “Just don’t be too harsh on yourself.”
He merely nodded, not wanting to worry you any further, and lifts one of your hands up to his lips– pressing a soft kiss on it, which is enough to make you a bit of a flustered mess from his actions alone. You’re highly aware that it might be hard for him to try and do so; knowing how much of a passionate man he can be, especially anything about justice. 
“Are you able to wait for a bit more? My shift will end soon.” You tell while your eyes checked on the clock that’s hanging on the wall. “Or if you have to go back to work– I’m alright with it.”
The dark-haired attorney only gave a slight, comforting shake of his head. “Well, I do have to get some stuff back in the office.”
“I don’t think anyone’s around there at this time, so we can go there together. It won’t take long.”
“Then, we can grab some dinner outside tonight. How’s that sound?”
And who could’ve refuse such offer? It sounds amazing already for the both of you.
“That’s a deal then!”

is it too soon to make another request?? idk but i have another idea. can u do an ateez reaction to the guys dating someone whose personality is like another the one of the members, not sure if i worded it correctly but i’ll give an example. so hongjoongs s/o is similar to wooyoung in terms of being a chatterbox and the other members just make fun of him for it or something like that.
idk sorry if it’s so specific or if it’s confusing but to be completely honest my brain isn’t working after i read what u wrote hehe <333
ateez dating someone with a similar personality to another member
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
genre: fluff, angst, crack, literally everything bruh
word count: 1.1k
warnings: emotional whiplash if you read all of them in one go lmao
author's notes: a brief run down that no one asked for: wooyoung's is ANGSTY, yunho is jealous (and hot), hongjoong is clueless, mingi's one is subtle and cute af, etc etc etc just have fun with it idk???? love yall <;3
Tumblr media
hongjoong
"and then he said to me 'well at least i can actually dress myself properly' like?? my style is sooooo much better than his so for him to have the audacity to say that is-"
you rambled on loudly to your boyfriend as he listened to you with immense interest. it didn't matter how loud you were or how much you had to say, he was captivated by your stories, finding the way you express yourself funny and endearing.
"they remind me of someone," seonghwa mused to san as they both watched you both from the kitchen. "wooyoung?" san questioned before nodding at seonghwa, " oh yes, absolutely."
they heard your explosive laughter sound in reply to something hongjoong said and started laughing too. "should we tell him?" san asked seonghwa, clearly amused by the realisation they had made.
"no," seonghwa shook his head with a smile, "he'd go crazy."
seonghwa
you were known for being blunt and sarcastic when it came to your humour, which honestly confused seonghwa immensely especially in the early part of your relationship; he couldn't tell when you were being serious or joking.
it was only when he observed you and yeosang together did he realised that you had an extremely similar sense of humour to him.
"hey, is this drink for me?" seonghwa pointed to a cup of coffee on the counter. "no, it's for the dog," you said nonchalantly, not thinking too much about what you were saying. seonghwa blinked, "we don't have a dog."
yeosang snorted at seonghwa's reaction and patted him on the back, "i think they were just joking." to this, he laughed sheepishly, "yeah, haha i knew that, obviously..."
yunho
"wow," wooyoung remarked as he watched you dance, "your dance style is so similar to mingi's."
your boyfriend, yunho, had invited you to hang with the other members in their dance studio. you'd been interested in dance for a while now and knew a thing or two about how to move.
"mingi, go next to them and both of you do the same move," wooyoung ordered, suddenly very intrigued with the situation. both you and mingi seemed to add the same unique style, the same sort of flare to the move. yunho watched on, and he couldn't help but be jealous.
mingi watched both of your reflections and saw what wooyoung was talking about, "he's right you know," he smiled at you, "maybe we should make a duet together."
"if there's anyone y/n's going to be doing a duet with," yunho interrupted mingi and glared playfully, before wrapping a possessive arm around your waist, "shouldn't it be with her boyfriend?"
yeosang
yeosang laughed hysterically at your bold claim.
"y/n," yeosang snickered, "there is no way you could defeat me in an arm wrestle. and i mean that in the nicest way possible."
yeosang was very confident in his abilities, and you couldn't blame him. he was going to the gym more often and especially focusing on building muscle in his arms. and you were just as impressed as he was with his results.
but he was very quickly humbled.
when it came to the actual arm wrestle challenge, his confidence shrank as you very quickly beat him. his eyes grew wide in awe and confusion whilst you stayed silent and grinned in response.
"what the-" he whispered, not believing the situation. "have you been getting tips from jongho?"
san
san found a lot of positives in the fact that your personality was quite similar to his roommate, yunho's personality. but there were a few things that he didn't perhaps like.
"come on guys," he whined, "that's literally the 5th game we've lost. neither of you are trying."
because you liked playing video games too, san invited you to play with him and yunho. which backfired, tremendously.
you and yunho were definitely not taking the game seriously at all. both of you were in a state of delirium by how much you were laughing at your ridiculously bad and chaotic playing.
"we're just playing sannie~" you said cutely and gave him a little smooch on the cheek after seeing his pout grow. your competitive boyfriend was not impressed!
mingi
"do you really need to sleep with all these plushies?"
mingi laughed as he stared at your bed covered in different variations of plush toys and cuddly animals, alike.
"i have to hug something when i sleep, okay?" you confessed rather shyly, as you grabbed a blue dinosaur plush and held it to your chest. what you said reminded him of san, who had the same issue. he too said he felt more comfortable sleeping this way.
"well," mingi grabbed the plush toy from out of your hands and wrapped your arms around his waist, "now you have me to hug while you sleep." he grinned and kissed your cheek. "and i'm much bigger than a plushie! there's more of me to love~"
you giggled at his reply as your grip tightened around him, feeling very much loved.
wooyoung
"i'm pretty sure you have every david bowie album ever to be released, y/n. your collection is incredible."
hongjoong was flicking through your cd collection, clearly engrossed with delight. you and hongjoong had the same taste in music and a shared interest in pop icons and culture. this was something your boyfriend, wooyoung, did not share with you, and he was starting to get insecure about it.
he watched on with arms folded as he sunk back into the couch. there was nothing he could contribute to the conversation, and he started to feel left out.
"i'm going to head home," wooyoung called out, grabbing his coat and heading for the door. "why," you began to feel worried that you and hongjoong had neglected him from the conversation.
"no reason," he responded bluntly, "i'm sure you'll have fun without me."
jongho
as the maknae, jongho was simply used to being pampered and taken care of by the other members, especially by seonghwa. and not by choice. jongho is actually a very independent person who likes others relying on him, instead of the other way around.
but when it came to you, he didn't mind at all.
"have you got your lunch?" you asked as jongho was getting ready to leave. "yep," he smiled, patting his bag where his lunch. you went over to him to adjust his tie for him. meanwhile, seonghwa watched on, quite appalled and offended.
"hey! you don't like it when i help you with stuff," seonghwa complained accusingly at jongho, who didn't even look in his direction.
"yeah it's because you're annoying when you do it," jongho teased his older friend before giving you a kiss on the cheek as a thank you.

Hi! I love your art a lot!
I saw a doodle page you did, and I’m curious how you got your brush to be darker with more pressure applied? (or at least that’s how it looked to me—)
aaa thanks so much!
first of all, i use Paint Tool SAI, so lemme grab a few screenshots of my brush settings. i made these for myself and @invadergrabass to use in order to blend our styles for collabs; theyre based on our combined preferences so they will more than likely require customisation if youre interested in using them. regardless, they will help me explain, since not everything is easy to put into words for me lol
Tumblr media
to make my brush respond to pressure the way it does, i first start with a default brush tool as opposed to a pencil. i set the minimum density to a non-zero percentage (usually between 10 and 40) depending on what i want to use it for, and lower the pressure sensitivity to 60. (this may differ for you, since i know i have a heavy hand and ive set my tablet sensitivity to a custom value. but the minimum size is key here.)
heres a demonstration:
Tumblr media
(the brush kinda thickens up when a texture is added, which is part of why i reduce the pressure sensitivity)
i find the brush tool feels a lot like a gel pen when being used for linework. this tool is called Butter Brush because its extremely smooth to work with for my partner and i.
heres a breakdown of each brush and how i tend to use it:
Butter Basic is an all purpose tool, i use it equally often for sketching lining writing and shading. it has a minimum size of around 20%
Butter Sharp is for writing and more bold linework. it has a low minimum size for detail work. i rarely use this tool for sketching but i do sometimes use it in shading, and i prefer it if i have to do a lot of writing on an image. its pressure sensitivity is at 100 so i see less of the texture when using it. (you can see the difference in the two drawn arrows above, where the left is at 100 and the right is at 60.)
Butter Soft is my favourite sketch tool, and predictably the one with the highest minimum size. it is also extremely soft, and cant easily be used for writing. i use it extensively for shading, more often than the tools ive made specifically for shading lmao. i sometimes use it for lining also, since it is the most comfortable for me personally to use.
i hope this helps you or anyone else looking for help with their art!
(note: in an earlier version of this reply i accidentally said "minimum density" instead of "pressure sensitivity" in Butter Sharp's description)

Hello there! I've never done a request in my life so this is a first
Your writing is great and I've decided trust you with a quest most frivolous, quill-master 🫡
Could you do a "Nadia with a female reader who is very - and I mean very - extraverted, bold, outspoken (but not in a dumb way 💀), kind of comedy master who just can't be intimidated even by the gods themselves?" LMAO I think I'm kinda bad at this but you feel what I'm trying to say right? You know like that one player in D&D who has maxed out charisma 🤓
And perhaps, if you feel like it, how that would work out in their bedroom dynamics?
ANYWAYS, thanks for being one of the last people on this app who make outstanding Nadia content AND THANKS FOR THE ATTENTION TOO OKAY BYE
This is kinda long I'm so sorry 💀
Hello Beatriz 👀 If I may call you that.
It always warms my heart when someone trusts me with their first request, so thank you, I hope I did alright 😭❤
This ended up being longer than I expected. Like, idk how? I wrote a sentence and panicked for like two hours because I had no idea what else to write, and then boom, it was there? I guess that means it's a very good ask 😎
I included a bit of spice, btw. Enjoy!
Ohh and I don't mind the long ask. On the contrary 👀
Nadia x Extroverted Fem!Reader
It is no secret that the Countess is quite an introverted woman, so your extroverted nature was a bit foreign to her at first. She felt insecure because what if you think she's not fun enough? Of course, no one would ever think that, but it took a few hugs and kisses to make Nadia feel alright again.
You tend to be bolder when it comes to flirting, which makes Nadia react in the cutest way possible. First, she stares at you for a second, gears turning in her head, but no words come out for a moment, and then she replies with something even bolder. What happens after that? You two keep flirting until one of you dies from blushing too hard.
Late-night talks with you two are to die for. Nadia is normally more reserved, but once you retire to her bedroom and start talking about anything and everything? That's like the best thing ever. And Nadia also loves listening to you talk. She admires you with so much love in her eyes whenever you open your mouth.
And the jokes. Oh my gayness, the jokes! Somehow, you find a way to make Nadia laugh all the time. You find out very early that the Countess snorts.
Imagine a meeting in the palace. The Court being the Court, they bring up an issue that makes no sense, and they have a whole argument about it. Nadia sits there, mentally facepalming herself, when you lean close and whisper something into her ear. The Countess ends up running out of the meeting room because of how hard she is laughing. That happens at least once a week.
You have never had any issues with socializing, so you have a lot of friends (or at least more than Nadia does). Nadia, however, spent most of her life alone, and when you introduced her to your friends, she felt very excited but also nervous. When everyone went home, Nadia almost cried in happiness because of how much fun she had with your friend group.
Every single time someone new shows up at the palace to meet the Countess, you yeet yourself to them because you just can't wait to meet them no matter who they are. By the time the person gets to meet Nadia, you have become besties with them, and they also invite you to the next family gathering to meet their sixty-nine relatives. Needless to say, Nadia is impressed.
Nadia admires that you can get along with anyone. And also that you fear no one, but it scares Nadi a bit sometimes.
She loves that you're not intimidated by her, tho. Most people are, so it's very refreshing for her.
There are a few cases when you are being a little too bold. For example, with a person who vastly outranks you and isn't very interested in a friendly chat. Nadia stands behind you, and puts her hands on your shoulders, giving them a gentle squeeze. "Y/N, my darling, how about you let me handle this one?" And everything about Nadia is just so comforting that you are immediately like, "Yes, my love, anything you want."
You might get in trouble sometimes, but Nadia always saves your ass.
Speaking of your ass. You're getting spanked as punishment whenever you're being too bold. You might be doing it on purpose, and I can't blame you.
You are flirting with each other all the damn time, which leads to either one of these outcomes: 1. You have quickies whenever and wherever you can, even if it means hiding somewhere in public. As long as Nadia doesn't make you moan too loud, it's all good. 2. You tease each other all day, and then as soon as you retire to Nadia's bedroom, your clothes are suddenly gone, and you two have passionate sex until you're both completely exhausted.
Nadia is a dom, and even an extroverted partner can't change that. However, your boldness is appreciated. Whisper something lewd into Nadia's ear, and you're going to find yourself tied to her bed in no time. The way you frustrate her with your words and inappropriate touching drives her wild.
And fuck. The dirty talk. It's unholy, it's hot as fuck, and you're both loving it. You make her even more vocal than she already is.
Nadia honestly finds it adorable if you're a very submissive person despite how bold you tend to be. She teases you about it, and it makes you squirm and whimper whenever she mentions it during sex.

Tumblr media
It was more than an exhausting mission and you were glad that the Vulture was as fast as it was. while the beds on the plane were comfortable, but nothing beat your bed on base, the one that you have had so many problems with before finally breaking it in.
"why aren't you sleeping?" sage walked inside the small separated room from the other sleeping cabins, sitting on the bed across yours with a questioning look on her face. it was risky for her to be sharing a room with you, given how easily both of you could give into the attraction you felt for each other. sage knew she should have never let emotions get the better of her but the rules she had set out for everyone seemed to be the ones she broke all the time.
you closed your eyes as you laid back on the bed, "can't sleep." you replied shortly. you didn't want to explain anything else, you were sure she had seen you struggle to take out the mirror agents and was here for nothing but to check up on you. that was her job, that was what she did all the time.
she stared at you, trying to think of an appropriate reply but then decided against asking any questions and just got up and sat down on your bed. her eyes dodged yours, her fingers like worms crawling on the sheets, searching for yours to intertwine with.
you turned over, looking at her and seeing her hands stilled, waiting for a sign that you would open up to her. as you opened your eyes your gaze carefully shifted to her as you turned on your side, not knowing if you should sit up or lay flat.
you looked away and sighed, reaching for her hand "i can't sleep because of something stupid. don't worry about it." sage raised her eyebrows, not letting go of your hand,
"what's so stupid?" you shrugged and then looked at the ceiling, "a lot of things, i guess. they're just bothering me."
"it's your mind, right?" you nodded but you couldn't tell sage that those thoughts were more than bothersome, they were downright painful. you were frustrated, angry, and even hurt. you needed someone to hold onto, someone to help you sort through it, to calm you down, to comfort you when your world was spinning out of control.
your hands started trembling slightly, "yes," it came out shaky and barely audible. 
sage leaned toward you, her voice soft, "why are you shaking?" her words made your chest tighten, "because I am afraid." you admitted, "but not enough to keep myself from doing this." sage turned to look at you, confused about your bold statement.
"do what?" sage asked. you took a deep breath and closed your eyes, your hand still intertwined with hers, "kiss you." sage's eyes went wide and you almost chuckled at how surprised she looked. her mouth hung open slightly before she slowly brought her free hand to your lips, her thumb grazing them gently. she was completely speechless. 
you swallowed hard, your own heart racing a bit as you sit up from your pillow and reach for her cheek, pulling her in for a gentle kiss. it was chaste, sweet, slow, and everything you had wanted after the last time you were alone with the healer. 
sage kissed back softly, hesitantly, her body leaning closer to yours. she pushed you back on the bed, straddling your waist and you let out a soft whine, breaking her out of her rhythm. you breathed in deeply, feeling her warm body pressed against you, and felt yourself relaxing under her embrace. she pulled away, her breathing heavy, her eyes asking if she could continue and you smiled shyly before nodding. sage moved forward again, kissing you once more, slower this time, but still full of passion. she held your chin, tilting it so she could kiss you deeper.
 you wrapped your arms around her neck, holding on tightly as her hands wandered down to your breasts, caressing them. you shuddered underneath her, moaning quietly, making the sound resonate through her, sending vibrations throughout your entire body. you pulled her back down to you, her tongue teasing your lips.  you parted them, her hands slipping beneath your tank top, cupping your breasts, your nipples pebbling in anticipation. you whimpered at the touch of her cold fingers, your back arching up from the bed and your chest colliding with hers.
 the sensation was too much to bare, ling wanted more and she wasn't sure she could hold herself back if she kept going.
"sage…" you breathed, panting lightly. she pulled back a little, brushing her forehead against yours, her breath hitting your lips. you ran your fingers through her hair, tangling your fingers in the long strands as you stared into her eyes.
 you saw the desire in hers mirrored in yours as she bit down on her lower lip, a nervous gesture. the heat of the moment was starting to dissipate but you knew that if you pushed this now it wouldn't end well, you weren't ready for this kind of relationship, nor would sage ever be.  your mind was muddled with the fantasies of you and her together, in this exact position, wanting to full fill them.
you opened your mouth to talk when someone pounded on the door. "hey, y/n! is sage asleep in there?"  a familiar voice called out from outside making sage groan, "yeah, i'm awake." sage answered.
"my stitches popped, can you re-do them please?" jett asked through the door. ling looked at you, closing her eyes before letting a frustrated sigh and getting up from the bed but not without leaving a warm peck on your cheek. "see you when we land."
without a word you let her exit the cabin, pulling the covers over yourself and trying to fall back asleep before she comes back inside.  however, the images kept popping into your head and you couldn't stop thinking about the feel of her hand on your skin, the taste of her lips, and the way she looked at you with desire shining through her brown eyes, her dark eyelashes casting a shadow on her cheeks.
you were whipped, no question.

[SKZ Imprinted] Jeongin: Youngblood
Anonymous asked: Hi rocket don't know if you've gotten any requests for jeongin's mate but I'm super curious about her. Can I perhaps request something with them? Maybe something leaning more on fluff since the other parts have been angst filled? If not, maybe full on angst is also the way to go!
Tumblr media
Characters: Jeongin x female reader
Genre/warnings: werewolf au, college au, a little angsty but it’s mostly fluff, mentions of not eating and also depression
Word count: 6,915
Summary: Despite being the youngest of the pack, Jeongin has imprinted way before most -- if not, all -- of his brothers. Unlike his brothers, though, he never found the courage to tell you anything. But if what happened between Minho and his mate aren’t enough proof that Jeongin needs to figure out how to confess his biggest secret to you, he doesn’t know what is. So since he needs to figure things out fast, and his pack is zero help after everything that’s happened, Jeongin finds himself relying on someone he least expected just to make sure he doesn’t mess things up with you.
a/n: things in bold are in english. also might change the title of jeongin’s part because i can’t decide what i want it to be lmao

Shit had hit the fan, and the next few days were spent with everyone just trying to unpack everything and sort through their feelings -- namely Ryujin and Minho. However, the pack was also pretty upset with Minho’s mate -- and rightfully so since she almost got all of them killed -- and so they kept giving their two cents despite the fact that Minho had been essentially dead silent since coming back from the hunter HQ.
But this situation had also prompted Jeongin to start acting out again. The pup used to always run off on his own, but he’d gotten a little better at listening to his alpha and sticking around the area. But for the last few days, he was nowhere to be found. Chan searched everywhere and even called in for help looking for him, but Jeongin was completely MIA. His parents were naturally worried and were getting a little bit on Chan’s case about finding him, so he reluctantly had to call in someone else for help.
“You want me to find him?” Elsie scoffed when Seungmin had called her.
“If anyone could find a werewolf, it’s you and Ryu,” Seungmin sighed, “but...I doubt she’d wanna go. Look, we just need to make sure he’s safe. You don’t have to do it, but Chan’s willing to pay you if he has to.”
“How much?” she asked, eyeing her depressed sister from where she was standing in the kitchen. Ryujin hadn’t moved from the couch since coming home and she wasn’t eating much. Naturally, Elsie was worried, but she wasn’t quite sure what to do with her since she had similar issues to sort through herself. “My prices are kinda high.”
“He said he’ll borrow some through Changbin,” Seungmin replied, “though, he never really paid back what he owes, so... I guess I was hoping I could convince you to do it for free.”
The older girl scoffed, “And why would I do that?”
“Because deep down, you have feelings for me,” the smirk Seungmin wore could be heard in his tone.
Elsie frowned, “I’m charging even more now.”
“Okay, okay,” he sighed. “Because...I can talk to Minho for you and Ryu. He might rip my head off, but I figure this is a fair trade.”
“How’s that fair, dumbass? That pup can’t kill me.”
“You haven’t seen him when he’s like this.”
-
Tracking Jeongin down wasn’t necessarily the hardest thing to do, but it was a bit of a pain in the ass. Knowing his pack would not only personally go searching for him but also knowing they’d call in Seungcheol’s pack, Jeongin had to skip a few towns just to be alone. 
Elsie just so happened to live a few towns away.
Jeongin sensed her before he saw her, the hair on the back of his neck instinctively standing on end as his eyes narrowed and he slowly lifted his head from where he sat on a park bench. But once he caught wind of the vaguely familiar scent of his brother’s mate, all he did was sigh.
“Fancy seeing you here, kid,” Elsie said as she strolled over, hands in her pockets. She stopped in front of Jeongin and looked down at him. “Finally fed up with your brothers? ‘Bout time someone around here got their head on straight. Poor Jinnie’s still whining over that one dickhead.”
Jeongin really couldn’t tell if Elsie was sent to find him by his brothers -- it was a long shot she’d agree but he figured she’d eventually cave if Seungmin bothered her enough, which Jeongin knew he’d absolutely do -- or if she just happened to run into him and was trying to figure out if there was a reason why he left the pack so she could find a weak spot. Elsie was still difficult for him to read...
“Shouldn’t you be with Ryujin?” Jeongin asked, deflecting the elder’s questions. He wouldn’t look back up at her, though. He just stared at her dirty boots as she kicked the grass lightly every now and then. “You went through all that trouble for her just to ditch her and come complain about her?”
Elsie raised her eyebrows, actually taken off-guard by Jeongin’s attitude, “Alright, snippy, relax. I was just trying to lighten the mood.”
“And why?” he asked, suddenly looking up at her with a clenched jaw. “My brothers sent you after me, right?”
She shrugged, “Yeah, but I only did it because Seungmin promised to talk to Minho for Ryu.”
“So what, do you have to snitch on me now? Capture me and keep me at your place until Chan comes to pick me up or something?”
“I mean...I guess, but you’re an adult, right? 
Jeongin’s eyes narrowed and he studied Elsie for a moment. There weren’t any weapons or restraints on her that he could see. Actually, she was in some leggings, some old-looking t-shirt, and a jacket. She looked...somehow non-threatening.
“So...you’re not gonna tell anyone?” Jeongin quizzed slowly.
Again, she shrugged, “I don’t see a point. Besides, calling them over clearly won’t help whatever’s going on. Seems like it’d make it worse. So, I dunno, you can do whatever you feel you need to do.”
“...Why?”
“I dunno...I’ve been there, I guess.”
Jeongin made a face, “Are you relating to me?”
Elsie made the same face, “Fuck no. I’m just... Ugh! Look, kid, I’m trying to be nice! Ryujin likes you dogs so much, and I want her happy over everything else. If that means I have to keep you safe just to have Minho acknowledge my sister for five minutes, I’ll do it.”
“Well I’m not gonna go off and do anything reckless, so you can stop pretending to care,” he scoffed, standing up from the bench with his arms crossed. He wasn’t much taller than the older girl, but it still made him feel a little better that he had maybe an inch or so on her. “Tell Seungmin I’m fine and I’ll...go back eventually.”
Elsie sighed and dug around in her pocket. She pulled her phone out and handed it to Jeongin, “Here.”
Jeongin stared at the device in her hand in confusion, “...What?”
“Grab a coffee with me,” she offered, still offering him her phone. “I won’t call them unless you want me to.”
“Why...?”
She just shrugged, “Like I said: I’ve been there. Let’s talk for a bit, kid. Coffee’s on me.”
-
It was a little awkward at first as Jeongin sat across from the girl who’d been trained to kill him. She sipped her latte or whatever the hell she got, and just looked around the shop --  anywhere but at him. Jeongin leaned back in his chair, staring at his to-go cup and then letting his eyes flicker up to study Elsie again. 
Elsie suddenly nodded her head toward someone, muttering, “That guy has like, four teeth.”
Jeongin’s eyebrows furrowed before he whipped his head around to see some messy-looking man who was chomping on a breakfast sandwich. He was chewing very obnoxiously with his mouth open. He turned back to face Elsie.
“Why’d you point that out?” he asked.
She shrugged, “Don’t know. Figured I should fill the silence. It’s kind of uncomfortable to be honest.”
“You can leave,” he pointed out with a little venom in his voice.
But Elsie didn’t seem angry that he was giving her attitude. She seemed almost...impressed. One corner of her mouth twitched up a little, “Yeah, I guess so. But you still have my phone, so maybe you wanna keep me here.”
Jeongin frowned back at her, “No. I just forgot I had it.”
“Hey, it’s totally fine, kid,” she chuckled, hands up slightly in surrender. “I’m not here to judge whatever you’re feeling. Hell, look at me and Jinnie.”
He stared at her for a little longer, taking in her words. Then he let out a sigh and cast his gaze downward, one hand coming up to cup his drink.
“Whatever you’re going through, you can talk about it,” she promised in a softer tone that didn’t even sound like Elsie.
“How do I know you’re not gonna tell Seungmin?” he asked, still looking at his cup.
She let out a laugh, “If I gave that much of a shit, don’t you think I’d have called them already?”
“Okay, fair. Then why do you care about helping me? You hate werewolves.”
Elsie shrugged, “Yeah. But I’m nosy and I wanna know what’s going on with the angsty teen.”
Jeongin looked at her again, staring daggers, “I’m literally an adult!”
“Yeah, yeah,” she waved his words away. “So what’s the deal with the pack? Why’re you so pissed off? I wanna talk shit.”
The pup studied her for a little longer. Honestly, what did he have to lose? Chances were low that Elsie would tell his pack since she really only cared about them for her sister’s sake, and he knew none of his brothers would listen to him since they were so wrapped up in the Minho/Ryu thing -- he’d tried but it went about as well as he expected. The only reason they were worried now was probably because his parents were bugging them.
He sighed, “There’s this girl...”
“You imprinted, right?” Elsie guessed.
He nodded, “Yeah. Her name’s _____. We went to high school together and we ended up going to the same college. We’ve always been sorta friends but not good enough friends to really hang out outside of class. She’s like, the super nice popular girl, y’know? And I’m the weirdo who ran away sophomore year. But like, even when I came back home after that, she ran up to me and smiled and said she was glad I was okay.”
“Sounds like a goody-two-shoes,” Elsie commented in a thoughtless mumble.
Jeongin growled lowly.
She chuckled, “Sorry, my bad. I didn’t mean it like a bad thing. Honestly, that’s probably better. But, I’m assuming you’re going to tell me you haven’t told her anything?”
He shook his head, “Not at all. And now after what happened with Minho and Ryujin... I’m kinda terrified.”
Jeongin let out a short, quiet, sad laugh. Elsie watched him as he continued to just sit there and hold his drink with one hand, eyes on the table. 
“I mean...at least she’s probably not a werewolf hunter,” she offered.
“But who says I won’t scare the shit out of her?” he countered. “That’s a lot to put on a person. Like, admitting to being a werewolf is bad enough, but then I have to be like, ‘Oh, by the way, you’re actually my soulmate that I’m meant to be with for the rest of my life and if you leave me I will literally die. No pressure, though!’ If I were her, I’d file a restraining order.”
“Well yeah, if you say it like that,” Elsie laughed. “Dude, just like, become her friend and then come clean with the werewolf thing. And she feels a little of the pull too, so you can ask her on a date at some point and when you feel comfortable, you can explain everything. And if she ever asks questions, just be honest with her.”
“How do I get closer with her?” Jeongin whined. “I can hardly say two sentences to her.”
“Ask her to hang out or something, how should I know?”
“Oh, I forgot, you don’t have friends anymore.”
Elsie narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth to make a witty comeback or to yell at him, but nothing came out. Jeongin even flinched a little, waiting for hell to rain down on him.
Instead, Elsie brought her cup to her lips and said, “Touché, kid. Touché.”
Jeongin let out a breath, looking back at his cup. He finally raised it to his lips and took a sip before setting it back down, still staring at the table.
“You’re not as evil as I thought you were,” he muttered.
She chuckled, “You’re saying that to a hunter who’s probably gonna be the reason your brother dies.”
His eyes flashed up to meet hers, “You haven’t technically denied him yet, have you?”
She let out a sigh, being the one to drop her gaze this time, “It’s...complicated. But we’re not talking about me, this is about you. Why don’t you wanna go back home?”
“They weren’t gonna listen to my problems and honestly, I’m really fucking stressed.”
“I get that. Sometimes you just need to be alone for a bit.”
“Speaking of alone, shouldn’t you be getting back to Ryujin?”
“Probably, yeah,” she breathed before standing up, taking her drink with her. “Wanna come? I can drive you home whenever you feel like going back.”
Jeongin looked up at her for a moment, weighing his options. But he finally stood and took his cup, “Yeah, I guess. She won’t be upset seeing me?”
“I think it’ll make her feel a little better that someone doesn’t completely hate her.”
“I mean...she almost got us killed.”
“Okay, well you can pretend like you don’t completely hate her, and then I won’t make you pay for gas on the way home,” Elsie smiled before leading the way out of the shop.
-
‘Just ask her to hang out. That’s all you have to do,’ Jeongin reminded himself as he walked onto campus alone, ‘Ask her to do something like go to the mall or grab lunch today. Something that can’t be skewed as a date. Something that won’t freak her out or come off too strong. Yeah, easy.’
Except it wasn’t easy because his heart was going a million miles a minute and his hands were shaking so badly that he had to hold onto the straps of his backpack that were resting on his shoulders.
Jeongin spotted you at the same time you saw him. Your eyes widened and you turned to run toward him, calling to your friends that you’d catch up with them later. Jeongin hadn’t been seen or heard from the last few days so you were excited to see him again.
Jeongin wasn’t necessarily someone you were super close with, but you always thought he was a sweet guy. Whenever you had to do projects in the class you had together, he was your first pick for your partner. He may have been a little troubled -- more so in high school when he ran away that one time -- but he was still nice. Maybe he was just misunderstood. Either way, you found yourself oddly having a soft spot for Jeongin.
“Jeongin!” you grinned when you got closer. You started to slow your run as you got closer, stopping in front of him and squinting against the sun to look at him. “Dude, where-- Oh damn, what happened to your cheek?”
He put a hand lightly where the bruise on his face was. He got it from the hunters and forgot in his nervous state that it was even there.
“Oh, uh, I walked into a wall,” he lied.
‘You sound like a fucking idiot,’ he told himself.
But, thankfully, you giggled, “I’ve been there. Where’ve you been the last few days? I asked your friends but they said they had no idea.”
His eyes widened slightly, “Y-you...asked about me?”
“Yeah, I was worried,” you shrugged. “I mean, I know you used to skip out on class a lot before but you had a pretty good streak going.”
The way you said it was like you were encouraging him; like you were telling him he was doing a good job. It made his heart flutter and his face warm.
“O-oh, yeah, u-um...” he stammered. “I went to visit a f-friend out of town for a few days...”
“I have all the notes and lessons if you want them,” you offered. Then you tried as confidently and as casually as possible to say, “Maybe we could go get dinner and I can help you?”
Jeongin’s eyes widened to the size of golf balls. He felt like his breath was caught in his throat. 
You’d been looking for a reason to ask Jeongin to hang out after class, and this was perfect. Were you nervous? Yes. But you’d had a little crush on him for a while and why not try? Especially after you thought he was missing again. You had to take the chance.
‘Say something, you idiot!’ Jeongin reminded himself after just staring with his mouth hung open like a moron.
“U-u-uh, y-yeah!” he finally stuttered, face redder than a tomato. “Yeah, th-that would be c-cool.”
“Cool,” you grinned. “Is tomorrow night okay?”
“Y-yes!”
“Awesome. I’ll catch ya then,” you nodded before turning to go to class. “Bye, Jeonginnie!”
He watched you go, his face burning. He didn’t move or breath or even think for that matter. He’d basically short-circuited.
“Yo, Jeongin!”
The familiar voice of one of his brothers pulled him away from his internal meltdown. He turned to see Felix and Sam, holding hands as Felix walked her to class.
Seeing the bright red color of the youngest’s face, Felix cocked his head to the side, “You good?”
Numbly, Jeongin nodded, “Y-yeah.”
‘Now what?’ he asked himself.
Because it was then, watching his brother and his mate walk away while their hands swung between them, that he realized he had to actually, y’know, go on this date -- or whatever it was -- with you, and he wasn’t sure how to do that. Jeongin had never even hung out with a girl alone who wasn’t one of his pack sisters! 
But he had seven brothers who clearly had experience. One of them should be able to help -- well, maybe not Minho right now...or Hyunjin... But maybe one of the mates could even tell him what to do, too.
For now, Jeongin had to get to class.
-
The first place he stopped was Felix and Seungmin’s apartment. Since they lived on campus, it was closer. He figured maybe at least Felix would have good advice considering him and Sam were doing pretty well. But when he knocked on the door, it was just Seungmin who was home.
“Felix is working,” Seungmin replied when Jeongin wondered where he was.
“Well...can I ask you for a favor?”
Seungmin sighed, “Not really. I’m kinda busy.”
“It’ll be really quick.”
“I have to go talk to Minho for Elsie, so I don’t really have time for this. Sorry, maybe ask like...Jisung or something.”
With that, Seungmin closed the door in Jeongin’s face. But the younger boy decided to take the advice, so he went to Jisung’s dorm across campus. Jisung’s roommate was some guy he was randomly assigned, so Jeongin wasn’t even really sure who it was who answered the door. 
Jisung moved his roommate out of the way before saying quickly, “He’s cramming for his math test tomorrow. He doesn’t want any distractions.”
“Do you wanna go grab an early dinner or something, then?” he offered.
The older boy shook his head, “Can’t, I’m on tutoring duty before I have to--”
“Jisung!” his roommate barked.
“Sorry, Jeongin!” Jisung gave him an apologetic look before closing the door.
He tried going to Chan’s apartment next, even though he already knew what would happen. Him and Changbin all but ignored Jeongin’s existence because Minho was depressed and couldn’t decide what to do about Ryujin. He tried texting Hyunjin to see where he was staying, but he got no reply. He tried calling but it went to voicemail. 
His brothers were no help, and according to all of them, their mates were busy, too. Jeongin had nobody to help him and he was supposed to be seeing you tomorrow night. What the hell was he supposed to do?
‘There is...one person...’ he reminded himself. But he quickly shook the thought away, ‘No, I can’t go to her. That’s stupid. She’ll think I wanna be friends or something. ...But desperate times...’
Jeongin sighed as he got off the steps that led to the apartment building he’d just left, walking to the nearest bus stop.
-
From _____: How does getting some ramen sound? I know a place not too far from campus :)
To _____: That sounds great! Did you want to meet there or meet on campus?
“Can you relax? Your hands are shaking so bad you can hardly type.”
Despite the spike in his heartrate when he read your text, Jeongin looked up from his phone to glare at Elsie.
Unfortunately, Elsie was his only hope for any sort of advice on what to do next. He was panicking and knew he would never survive this hangout without making an absolutely idiot of himself. But now he was starting to wonder if that would be worse than putting up with Elsie.
Elsie grinned as his glare, “You can’t get mad at me, I’m the only one who listens to you.”
“Yeah, for whatever reason...” Jeongin muttered. He dropped his guys and continued, “Th-thanks, by the way...”
“Yeah, don’t mention it,” she nodded, patting his shoulder. “Seriously, though. Don’t.”
From _____: We can meet up by our building! 6 sound good?
“I don’t even know what to do,” Jeongin stared at your text hopelessly. “What do I say to her? How do people keep conversations going without it getting awkward and boring?”
“Uh, I’ll let you know when I figure that out,” she snorted. “Hey, if you get into an awkward silence, you can always shift in the middle of the restaurant. That’ll really spice things up.”
Jeongin huffed, rolling his eyes, “Can you be serious, please?”
She shrugged, “I can only find it in me to help you so much.”
“Why are you helping me? You’re the only one who will even listen to me for two minutes.”
“Honestly, kid...it’s kinda sad. You’re like a desperate little lost puppy. Kinda tugs at my heart strings.”
“As if you wouldn’t kill me if your sister didn’t have the hots for my brother,” he scoffed.
Elsie laughed softly and nodded, “Yeah.”
“Nah,” a tired, quiet voice spoke up, entering the kitchen. Ryujin was wearing the exact same thing Jeongin had seen her in the day before -- the same thing she’d been wearing since Elsie brought her to her apartment. She walked by the pair to the cupboard to get a glass. “She’s getting a soft spot for you.”
Elsie looked enraged while Jeongin looked surprised.
“I am fucking not!” Elsie insisted as Jeongin asked, “Seriously?”
Ryujin turned to look at her sister, “It happens. You realize they’re not as bad as you were raised to believe. Doesn’t help that you’ve been looking after him for the last two days and letting him trauma dump on you.”
“Yes, I pity him,” the older girl clarified.
“Trust me, no you don’t,” Ryujin promised before turning back to the fridge. She opened it and grabbed the juice, pouring it into her glass.
“You can’t live off of juice forever,” Elsie mumbled, changing the subject.
“I’m still alive, aren’t I?” the younger sister deadpanned.
“Only because I have to fight you to jam food down your gullet!”
It was actually sad for Jeongin to see Ryujin like this. Yes, he had every right to be upset with her and hold his and his pack’s almost-deaths against her, but she used to be so bubbly and warm. Now she never smiled, her eyes were dark and didn’t sparkle anymore, and her aura was so...dark. She was a completely different person than the girl him and the pack had become so fond of. He had started to see her like he saw the rest of the mates: like a sister. So the fact she was like this now still made part of his heart hurt.
After putting the juice back in the fridge, Ryujin turned to look at Jeongin, “You want advice for _____? Don’t lie to her. Come clean the first chance you get. Don’t ever pretend to be anything but who you are.”
Jeongin just stared back, a hint of sadness in his eyes as he saw hers fill with tears. After a beat of silence, she left the kitchen, sniffling.
Elsie and Jeongin just stared at whatever, not knowing what to say next. But finally, Jeongin broke the silence.
“Elsie?”
“Yeah.”
“What do you think will happen? Between her and Minho, I mean.”
She sighed, “That’s up to him at this point. Your guess is better than mine.”
“What do you hope happens?” he asked instead, turning his head to look at her.
Elsie paused, biting her lip and thinking it over before replying slowly, “Despite how I feel toward werewolves...for her sake...I hope he comes around. I’ll...deal with it, I guess.”
There was another beat of silence before Jeongin said again, “Elsie?”
“Yeah.”
“I think you’re pretty cool,” he admitted sheepishly, “and...I really appreciate that you listen to me. You don’t treat me like a child. Thank you.”
Elsie smirked to herself and nodded before lifting her head to meet Jeongin’s, “Yeah, whatever, kid. Just don’t go telling anyone that I ‘have a soft spot for you’ or you’ll wind up like Minhyuk.”
“Who’s Minhyuk?”
“Exactly.”
-
“Just be yourself, don’t overthink it, and if all else fails, crawl out the bathroom window,” Elsie told Jeongin as she drove him to campus where he’d be meeting up with you. “I’ll come pick you up.”
“That last one doesn’t make me feel any better,” Jeongin admitted, rubbing his sweaty palms on his jeans. “Actually, it makes me wanna throw up.”
“Relax, it’s a joke, kid,” she chuckled. “It’s not gonna go that badly. Worst case scenario, you make a bad joke that doesn’t land or there’s a few awkward silences here and there. But that girl of yours seems too nice to like, walk out on you or something.”
“Sh-she’s not...my girl,” he mumbled, his heart skipping a beat just at the thought of it.
“God, you’d really think you’re just some pup newly in love,” she scoffed. “I’ve never seen a werewolf this lovesick from the pull.”
“Shut up,” he grumbled, his cheeks already heating up.
Elsie dropped him off in the parking lot closest to the building he was meeting you at. As far as his pack was concerned, they didn’t even know this date was happening. The only person who knew was Elsie, who never even mentioned it to Seungmin like she promised. Was she actually getting soft for the pup? She would never say. But either way, Jeongin appreciated that she somehow became the only person he could rely on. She promised to pick him back up in the same spot at 9, or any other time he updated her with. If needed, she’d go to the restaurant to get him, too.
After wishing him luck, Jeongin walked toward the building to see you were already waiting there with your purse slung over your shoulder, and your notebook held to your chest. He kinda forgot you were supposed to be helping him with the work he missed the last few days...
“Hi!” you chirped when you saw him.
“You weren’t waiting long, were you?” he asked as you jogged over to greet him.
“Oh, no!” you quickly reassured him. “Only a few minutes. But there’s a bus in 15 minutes that goes to the ramen shop I was telling you about.”
“Yeah, let’s go. Do you want me to carry that?”
“That’s okay, it’s just a notebook. It’s not--”
Jeongin held a hand out for it anyway. You handed it to him, trying to act totally casual even though butterflies erupted in your stomach. Why was he so cute all the time?
“Let’s go,” he smiled softly, turning to lead the way.
You weren’t really sure what to say, so you rambled about everything he missed. Jeongin didn’t know what to say either, so he let you ramble. He liked hearing you talk, anyway. And you seemed so interested in what you were saying, so he found it endearing. Little did he know you were just as nervous as he was.
Except he could hear the rapid beating of your heart. He chalked it up to you just being nervous in general, but he couldn’t help but think, ‘what if?’.
On the bus, you asked him about his trip to see his friend. He told you a little bit about Elsie and how she had a “thing” with Seungmin, but they were really...rocky.
“Do they argue a lot?” you asked, eyebrows furrowed.
“Um...more like bickering,” he said. “She kinda acts like she hates him, and he pushes her buttons, but...you can tell they like each other. I don’t know, old people are weird.”
That made you laugh, and Jeongin found his cheeks heating up once again as he smiled to himself.
The two of you sat at a counter together once you got to the ramen shop. You ate and studied, you tutoring Jeongin on what he missed. You were leaned in toward each other, knees practically touching since you were turned toward each other on your stools. You were so close you could smell his cologne and it made it difficult to focus. Your palms were clammy and your face felt incredibly hot -- maybe you could blame that last one on your food.
Meanwhile, Jeongin was too caught up in his own nerves to notice the patterns of how your heart raced a little faster when he got closer or smiled at you. He didn’t catch things that would’ve been blatantly obvious to any other werewolf. But it was okay because things were still going better than he could’ve expected. There were a few awkward-ish moments, but they were easily laughed off and made to feel way less embarrassing than they felt at first.
Between studying, the two of you began to learn little things about each other. Sure, you knew each other enough because of class and being partners, but the two of you never knew little things, like favorite colors or most embarrassing moments. In class and during projects, the two of you mostly talked about surface-level things like how Jeongin’s cat was doing that you saw when you went to his house to work on a project, or talking crap about the kid that sat behind you guys who smelled like onions and cinnamon all the time. Something about you two hanging out this time felt...different. And while maybe you did want it to be a date, you never specified that. And what Jeongin wanted it to be one, you never said it was so he didn’t think it was.
But...it kinda felt like one.
“Okay, sorry, I was rambling again,” you laughed softly as you tried to get back on track from rambling about some family vacation you went on.
“No, no, don’t worry about it,” Jeongin chuckled. “I liked the story. Though, I’ll never look at you the same knowing a dolphin stole your swim bottoms.”
“Yeah, you better watch out,” you giggled, “he can get very jealous.”
“Why would he need to be jealous?” Jeongin smirked.
Your eyes widened, and your cheeks had never felt so warm all night.
“U-uh, I didn’t mean-- I j-just--”
But then Jeongin was worried he made you uncomfortable, so his eyes went wide and his face began turning red, “Oh, I-I was just joking! I w-wasn’t--”
“N-no, I didn’t think it was weird or anything! I j-just--”
“No, you don’t have to explain, I-I’m sor--”
“No! Jeongin, I--”
“I’m s--”
“Jeongin?”
The awkward stammering finally came to a stop. Jeongin just stared at you with doe-eyes, waiting for you to keep talking.
“Is this a date?” you blurted, wanting to just take a chance and be straightforward.
He looked taken off-guard and you considered trying to take the question back, but instead he said, “I-isnt that up to you? S-since you asked...m-me?”
“I guess...” you trailed off, unsure what to say next. Were you supposed to confess to him now? Tell him you wanted it to be a date? Or was that weird? Did he even like you back?
“I-I--” Jeongin began to speak up and you gave him your full attention, which made him pause for a moment and rethink speaking from his heart, but he took a deep breath and pushed himself to do it. “I wouldn’t...mind if it was a date.”
“W-wouldn’t mind?” you repeated.
His face flushed a deep red and he mumbled as he looked down at his hands on the counter, “I’d...r-really like if it was, actually...”
He heard the way your heart raced at his confession and it managed to put him a little more at ease. 
“R-really?” you asked.
“Y-yeah.”
You nodded, trying -- but failing horribly -- to not grin ear-to ear. Jeongin looked up at you to see you trying so desperately to not smile like an idiot, and all it did was make him smile too.
“So it’s a date,” you giggled, trying to not squeal, either.
He nodded, “Y-yeah. A date.”
And while Jeongin was on cloud 9 with you for a moment, his heart suddenly fell into his butt.
After putting the juice back in the fridge, Ryujin turned to look at Jeongin, “You want advice for _____? Don’t lie to her. Come clean the first chance you get. Don’t ever pretend to be anything but who you are.”
Elsie made it seem like Jeongin had time to make better friends with you and then start to come clean, but now he had skipped several steps. So was he supposed to jump right in and tell you now? Or was he supposed to try to avoid the topic for a while as to not come off as a liar? But when he finally came clean down the road, how would he not come off as a liar? This was a big secret that you had to know. If he hid it from you, he was a liar nonetheless!
The thought weighed down on him as much as he didn’t want it to. He tried to carry on as normal, but you could tell something was off about him now. However, to avoid another awkward moment like the stuttering incident, you decided to wait until you were back on campus. You were nervous your excitement scared him.
The bus ride back wasn’t awkward, at least. It was quiet, but it was getting late and both of you were tired.
Once off the bus and you began walking back, you finally decided to ask what was going on.
“Are you okay, Jeongin?” you asked when it felt like he was about to say goodnight and leave.
He sighed and stared down at the grass, “Um...actually...._____, I...r-really like you.”
Your heart fluttered at the confession, “I-I like you too, Jeongin.”
“So...if I want to make this work, I need to be honest with you...” he lifted his head, and he looked scared. “I have to tell you something.”
-
Chan was frantic. How could Jeongin be gone again? He hadn’t seen or heard from him since the day before when he’d shown up at the apartment, but Jeongin didn’t say much before leaving. Him and the pack had been trying to get ahold of him but he wasn’t answering his phone, so they decided to go looking for him instead.
Chan drove with Hyunjin in the passenger seat, and Seungmin and Jisung in the back. They were trying to find any clue as to where he went, and his parents said they hadn’t seen him since he left for school. So they went to campus to try and follow his scent from there.
“Wait,” Seungmin suddenly spoke up as they drove to campus. Chan slammed on the breaks and him and Hyunjin turned around to face him. Seungmin’s eyebrows furrowed as he said, “Elsie’s nearby.”
“Elsie?” Hyunjin repeated. Then he scoffed and turned back around, sinking into his seat, “Does that mean traitor’s around, too?”
“That’s not the point,” Seungmin sighed. “I don’t know why Elsie would be around here.”
“Unless she has something to do with Jeongin,” Chan suggested.
“Maybe she’s kidnapping him!” Jisung gasped.
Seungmin rolled his eyes, “I doubt it.”
“Where is she?” Chan asked.
“Keep going toward the school,” he told him.
And sure enough, driving around campus and following Seungmin’s instincts led them to Elsie’s car parked in one of the empty lots. Elsie looked up when she saw the headlights, and groaned when she realized who it was.
Chan pulled up to her window, their cars facing opposite directions. He rolled his window down, so she reluctantly rolled hers down.
“Reason you’re hours away from home?” he wondered, his tone unreadable. She couldn’t tell if he was pissed or if he was trying to be nice.
“Um, I’m older than you and have a license and a car,” she grinned. “What’s it to ya?”
The back window rolled down, and Seungmin leaned over Jisung, “Do you know where Jeongin is?”
“Hm, shouldn’t his pack know where he is?” she asked sarcastically. “Or were you guys ignoring him again?”
“We don’t ignore him!” Hyunjin called.
“Yeah, that’s why you guys knew exactly where he was a few nights ago,” she nodded. “Oh wait, that was me. And it was me who made sure he was safe and brought him home. Maybe I should be getting a ‘thank you’ instead of the attitude.”
“Elsie, we’re serious,” Chan sighed.
“So am I,” she stated.
“If you don’t tell us where he is, I’ll get out of this car an--”
“Relax, dog,” she interrupted Hyunjin’s threat, nodding her head in the direction behind them. “He’s right there.”
The four turned their heads to see him walking with you.
“Were you waiting for him?” Jisung wondered.
“Is he with _____?” Chan asked.
You nodded and clicked your tongue, “Yeah, kid had a date tonight. You would’ve known that if you, y’know, talked to him. Instead I’m stuck playing pack mom because somebody’s unavailable.”
Chan just looked back at her and shot her a look before turning back to Jeongin.
They couldn’t quite hear what was being said, but they saw Jeongin backing up while you continued to stand there and stare at him.
“What’s he doing?” Hyunjin mumbled.
And then they saw him shift.
Jisung gasped, covering his mouth with his hands as he watched from the rear window. Chan was out of the car in seconds with Hyunjin, ready to run over there.
“Hold up!” Elsie got out of her car and went to stop them, grabbing Chan by the arm since he was closest.
Thankfully, Seungmin caught Hyunjin before he could even get a few yards away from the car.
“Let the kid do his thing,” she prompted.
“What?!” Hyunjin demanded.
“He knows what he’s doing,” she told him harshly. “Does it look like he’s going to hurt her?”
The boys looked back at the scene. You had stumbled backwards even farther with the initial shock, and you had continued to keep your distance. But as the pack watched, they saw you take a few hesitant steps forward. And then you closed the distance, standing right in front of Jeongin and reaching a hand out to his muzzle.
“See?” Elsie smirked.
Hyunjin scoffed and rolled his eyes, “Whatever, you were right. Big deal.”
Chan sighed, becoming visibly less anxious, “Alright, well...at least everyone’s okay.”
“And?” Elsie pressed.
Chan sighed again, but this one was more tired than relieved, as he turned to face the hunter, “Thank you, Elsie.”
She grinned smugly, “Yeah, you remember that I did this for you the next time you dogs wanna talk shit.”
“Your sister still almost got us killed,” Hyujin spat. “We’re not even.”
Their bickering was cut short by the werewolf trotting over to them. Jisung had gone into the trunk to get the spare clothes they kept back there, tossing a pair of sweatpants to Hyunjin while Jeongin shifted back. Then Hyunjin passed them to the youngest.
“So how’d it go?” Elsie asked.
Jeongin looked at her, then looked at his four brothers. He wasn’t sure what they were doing there, but his confusion was overtaken by the sheer joy and giddiness he felt, a bright smile taking over his face as he began to pull the sweats on.
“She said I’m cute,” he giggled.
“Did you tell her she’s the love of your life?” Hyunjin teased.
Jeongin looked at him, raising an eyebrow, “Did you?”
Elsie chuckled at the comeback -- along with the pack -- and Hyunjin turned to glare at her, “He’s been hanging out with you too much.”
“So does that mean we’ve got a second date?” Chan asked with a smile.
“She said she’d text me since the conversation was pretty one-sided,” Jeongin explained. “But it went well. She was kinda surprised, but then she got this big smile on her face and she said it was cool.”
“Well, at least you haven’t done the worst out of all of us,” Seungmin said, clapping his brother on the back. “Good job, Jeonginnie.”
Jeongin felt proud of himself for managing to not completely fuck things up, but his eyes flickered over to the werewolf hunter. He opened his mouth, but Elsie spoke up first.
“See ya ‘round, kid,” she smiled slightly with a nod of her head, getting back into her car and driving away.

thoughts on gideon the ninth chapter thirty-five
lmao that's rough gideon. i'd feel like shit if i did that to someone too, even if it's not actually a bad thing to do and not your fault.
okay, it was dulcinea who killed people. yeah, that's better than ianthe. sorry for jumping the gun and blaming ianthe, last chapter. i did realize she wasn't implying it was her who did the killing midway through, though.
i maintain that this still isn't wholly surprising — the sick one, the one you'd never suspect, did it? wow, exactly what i'd expect — and making it harrow could have been a really bold and interesting move, but it works.
ohhh, it wasn't dulcinea septimus. okay, i see. not following why abigail's interest in history made her a threat, but we can keep going. the details of who she is (someone from the same family) are a bit hard to follow, but okay — she kept the corpse around and burned it with protesilaus's.
okay. this person wanted to get the emperor to come back to the system and fuck with him. who are the Hands? and now she wants to get rid of the houses while he waits, and then do... something to him?
oh this is a lyctor, huh. interesting.
oh and palamedes is already killing her
did palamedes just blow himself up?
that's a shame. he was my favorite character.
damn she really did vomit up a lung.
Cytherea the First, huh. soon to be Cytherea the dead, I hope.
Okay. I'd appreciate if any of the people who have been commenting on my post could tell me the foreshadowing for Dulcinea being the murderer, and Dulcinea not being Dulcinea. By the way, I appreciate all of your comments a ton, even though I haven't been replying (because apparently tumblr doesn't let you reply with your sideblog and using my main while mentioning I'm OP just kinda seemed like a hassle).
From a mystery perspective, I don't love this answer. I want two things for a mystery answer: One, to feel like it ties together so many pieces of evidence and foreshadowing that I realize I should have realized it all along and feel dumb. Two, ideally, for it to expand my perception of what is even possible as answer, which is pretty rare. Something like Knives Out, that treats the entire role of culprit in a unique way.
This is why I got really hyped up for the Harrow theory; I feel like her plot role was one you'd never expect to be the culprit and thus it'd be mindblowing if it was. I think it being not-Dulcinea is considerably more... regular, as a thing for a mystery story to do. I mean, I kind of called it early on that it could very well be her, since it would cause the most emotional pain for Gideon. I don't get credit for being right, because when it came time for me to put my money where my mouth is, I didn't say it was her. But like I said earlier, the sick, unassuming character? Kind of becomes just plain old assuming.
But that's just my preferences and personal expectations being projected onto a book that didn't necessarily need to conform to my ideas, and it works narratively nonetheless. I mean, clearly it does. And I hope that knowing what the foreshadowing is will enhance my appreciation. Plus, I don't even know what she did to kill Jeannemary and Isaac yet! Hope that's interesting.
From an entirely different perspective, though, this reveal is awesome. I love stories that start as one thing, only to unfold into something much bigger and more complex. That's something I like even more than the answer to the mystery being something I never would have considered — when the direction of the plot itself is like that. This started as a story about a bunch of people solving puzzles in a facility, but Dulcinea actually being Cytherea, a Lyctor, suddenly thrusts this story into something WAY bigger. There are so many questions I don't even understand well enough to ask, about the Houses, the history here, the emperor, the hands, the Lyctors, everything that's going on! This is a huge game that's being played and I am seriously looking forward to all the insane things I'd never expect that the next book will likely do. The possibilities are genuinely endless in my mind, of what this story will even be about, and that's a feeling I love. That, more than anything else, is the best thing you could take in inspiration from Homestuck and Umineko.
I'll hopefully finish the book tomorrow, but I seriously need to sleep now.

The same best friend your brother warned you to stay away from, since the day you learned how to walk and talk he reminded you that you could never date his best friend. Who daddy Jack think he is?!? NOT MINE 🤨 at least not for this fic 👀🤭
“Ohh, they’re just friends from back home.” You say shrugging. She didn’t js call her brother “just a friend” 😭 I’m fuckin dead
Clay laughs at that. “I know we’re from Kentucky, but we don’t cross that line.” Tell them Clay Clay, they talkin abt the wrong white boy from Kentucky 😭
You see that Urban and Jack are standing straighter and looking behind you. You turn around and see it’s Logan and Jake Paul. Tf are these Cocaine sniffers doing here?! 🤨
“Happy birthday gorgeous.” He hands you a bag. “If you adore her, Dior her.” I just cringed sooo fuckin hard!! Like bro get tf outta here 😭
“So are we doing body shots tonight or what? You look way too hot not to do them on you.” Jake winks. They’re still going, this is so embarrassing 🫣
“So back to the question of the body shots?” Jake says. Is he already drunk or sum?? Like did u not js hear a thing Jack said?? Which wasn’t much but enough to get the point across!!
“No body shots here dude, not on my sister that is.” Clay says, joining you all. Clay, Jack & Urb 🙎🏼‍♂️🙎🏼‍♂️🙎🏼‍♂️ Jake & Logan🧍🏼🧍🏼 YN 🙎‍♀️
“Y/N, You better tell your brother to relax before I knock his little ass down.” Jake says. I- he’s a real bold IDIOT!! Clay will whoop that ass wit one arm tied behind his back. Don’t mess around & find out, other Paul brother 😐
Logan smiles, “It’s all good baby.” He winks at Clay and Urban, then walks towards you and kisses your cheek. “See you out there, Jake let’s go.” his brother follows but not without kissing your other cheek. I’m literally gaggin 🤮 *goes to google * ‘can you get an std from a kiss on the cheek from a Paul brother?’
“You moved away from home, you hardly talk to any of us. Jack and Clay are lucky if you even reply to their texts.” Damn it’s like that bbygirl 🥲
You shake your head. “He’s my brother, I love him but I hate his stupid rule.” Girl FUCK THEM RULES!!
He rolls his eyes, “Your mom knew, she knows everything.” MAMA MAGGIE FOR THE WIN 🫶🏽
You two share a few kisses and when you pull back you notice Urban is staring at someone behind you. AH SHIT! FUCK! NO! It’s a Paul brother huh?!? 😭

The Dior part, I had to use it lol I’ve been hearing lot of influencers say it and I cringe so bad lmaooo.
Listen Jake and Logan are idiots, I don’t like them here or in real life 😭😭😭😭 I had to add someone we all dislike a bit and look it worked perfectly 😅

Call Out My Name
“abel im home!!!!! where are u sugar nipples?????” leland tyler wayne says as he walks into the appartment
“LEAVE ME ALONE METRO BOOMIN.” abel tesfaye yells while crying.
leland looks hurt. abel only uses his stage name when theyre performing. or when hes angry with him. and right now he seems angry AND sad.
“I KNOW WHAT YOU DID WITH DRAKE.” abel screams, crying even more.
“WE DIDNT DO ANYTHING I SWEAR!!!” leland lies.
“I SAW THE VIDEO. YOU LEFT THE SECURITY CAMERAS IN THE STUDIO ON. I SAW EVERYTHING.” abel screams again, storming off and slamming the door to his and leland’s bedroom and sliding down the wall.
leland follows him up the stairs and knocks on the door. “abel?? abel im really sorry…”
“NO YOURE NOT. PACK YOUR SHIT AND LEAVE.” abel screams.
“abel please. just one chance. i promise i’ll make it up to you.” leland says, tearing up. he knew he fucked up, badly. but he didnt think things would end like this.
“NO. GO FUCK DRAKE AGAIN. SEE IF I CARE. FUCK YOU, METRO BOOMIN.” abel gets a box and starts packing leland’s things in it.
“ABEL, BABANUGGET PLEASE.” leland screams, sobbing.
“I CANT BELIEVE YOU’D CHEAT ON ME. AND WITH MY EX BOYFRIEND OF ALL PEOPLE.” abel yells, crying even more.
“ABEL I SAID I’M SORRY.”
“I DON’T FORGIVE YOU. YOU RUINED IT ALL. I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY.”
leland is heartbroken. he knows this is all his fault. he knows. and he hates to think about it. he hates knowing he’s ruined everything he had. he hates knowing he’s broken abel’s heart.
he knows what he has to do.
he makes sure that he remembers drake’s address. and then he grabs a knife.
he has to kill drake.
he runs out to the car and drives to drake's house. on his way he thinks about all the times with abel. he feels so guilty. he has to fix this. he has to kill drake. its the only way.
he's finally there. finally at drake’s house. so, he walks to the door and knocks.
drake opens the door.
“hello icing dick, what do you need today?” he asks, smiling.
but leland doesn't smile.
“i’m sorry.” he says, stabbing drake in the neck.
drake falls to the ground, and leland runs back to the car. then he speeds home.
“ABEL, WHERE ARE YOU. I DID SOMETHING TO MAKE IT BETTER.” leland yells.
“KILL YOURSELF.” abel screams from the bathroom. he’s crying in the shower.
leland walks to the bathroom. “abel, can i come in??? i have something to say to you.” he asks.
“fine. but then LEAVE.” abel replies.
he walks in, and abel turns off the shower so he can hear what leland has to say.
“abel, i have something to tell you.”
“jfc”
“i killed drake. i stabbed him and now he’s dead. i regret cheating on you. this is how i wanted to make it up to you. d-do you forgive me?” leland says, tearing up.
“did you really?” abel asks.
“i wouldn’t lie to you again, abel.”
“then i do forgive you, leland.” abel says, smiling a little.
and then they all lived happily ever after in a world without drake <33
the end 🩷🩷🩷
Bold of you to be anonymous for this when there is only one person I can see sending this to me lmao 🤣 but either way I am entertained and deliberately left this to now because I knew it'd be a rough day lmao.

thoughts on will, freya, tyr seward, daegal, gilli, mithian and elena??
theyre my favourite extras i love them andnjdjsjdj
Hi!!! Thank you so much for heeding my call, haha. I'm afraid I was too arrogant though. I haven't even finished watching the show for the first time. I decided to pause it mid-season 5 for... reasons - aka, I'm too scared to continue.
I'll have to google some of those names, because I'm not good with them.
Mithian - I don't know if she appears in another season 5 episode, but she is very lovely. She's someone who would make a good Queen, but not as much as Gwen. She was similar to Gwen in many ways, and that was done on purpose; it would've been easier for Arthur to reject someone with a terrible personality or a bad attitude, like Lady Vivian, but not someone as perfect as Mithian. She was beautiful, smart, observant, kind - she noticed Merlin's influence over Arthur, spoke to him like an equal, and defended him from Arthur's "pranks". She was like Gwen in that regard. However, compared to Gwen, she wasn't as bold, outspoken, or brave - she wouldn't have made a better Queen than Gwen. But I liked Mithian! She had a sense of humor and was easy-going too!
Freya - She's a weird one. Is she Merlin's great love? He never showed interest in anyone else, he was even willing to run away with her. They were a bit like Lancelot and Gwen - first loves, a whirlwind romance. Neither couple is convincing to me. It felt too much like destiny, in the way of love at first sight. Freya was pretty lovely though, and it was sad seeing her die in Merlin's arms, especially since she knew who he was and accepted him completely. She had such a tragic life... Finding peace in death is very depressing. It was nice what he did for her, and what she did for him later. I liked her and them, but I don't have any strong feelings for either.
Elena - Elena is my favorite of all these characters! I liked how awkward, clumsy and unlady like she was, though she became a proper princess once she was no longer a changeling. She too was a good match for Arthur - but only as a princess. She didn't appear to be very wise, ambitious, or Queen material - but, who knows? Uther was never interested in a Queen who'd help Arthur lead Camelot, but that is what Arthur wanted, and only Gwen fit the part. Sorry if I'm comparing them to Gwen, but that was kind of their purpose in the story. To me, Gwen is just as important as Arthur, because if he is the Once and Future King, Gwen is the Once and Future Queen who ruled over Camelot when Arthur died and continued his legacy (and much more). Anyway, Elena was lovely. She was pretty and sweet and cute. I loved how she replied to Arthur when he opposed their marriage - her voice was so soft and shy, but she was so eloquent. She was quite like Arthur - no mom, wanting to please her dad, kind of awkward and lonely. However, unlike Arthur, her father loved her and was good to her, and that made all the difference. She didn't have his responsibilities either...
Now, I'll google the rest lmao.
Will - I'll be honest, I didn't pay much attention to the first season. I was still trying to get into the show, and my attention span sucks. I remember him very vaguely. I need to rewatch the show from the beginning and this time pay attention to everything. I remember he didn't like Arthur and had a quarrel with Merlin? I'm sure he was brave and wonderful though.
Gilli - I know who he is now that I've seen his face! He was an interesting one. I could understand why he refused to leave Camelot and why he considered Merlin a traitor of his kind. Although I feel for Merlin, it is true that Merlin stood by Uther and Arthur against his "people". He believed the only way to restore magic to the Kingdom was through non-magic users which is kind of problematic, and so he put up with Uther. I honestly thought it was a bit lame that Gilli backed down and agreed with Merlin in the end. His fury was righteous and bowing down to his oppressors, because Merlin always knows better is bullshit. I actually disliked that episode. Merlin's argument that magic must only be used for good is utter nonsense. It's like Merlin has been brainwashed into only using magic in favor of those who disprove of it. Gilli was wrong to kill a man and enter a stupid tournament, and also to endanger himself just to prove a point, but magic isn't meant to be used for good. That's like saying people are born only to do good - we are allowed to do things for our own sake. I don't have to become a doctor because I must only do good, and doctors aren't necessarily doing it to save lives - although most jobs are necessary, I can also choose to do something with little value for society. Merlin was kind of gatekeeping magic. I think he was scared of it. But, although magic can be used for evil, fearing it and walking away from it doesn't help anyone. I disliked how cowardly the show is. It's endgame is to make Camelot safe for magic users, yet only Merlin is allowed to use magic - everyone else is a villain or morally ambiguous.
Anyway, Gilli was fine. I didn't care for him, but I felt for him.
Daegal - Sorry, I haven't watched the episode he's in yet! Once I do, I'll edit this post!
Tyr Seward - Same as above!!! I'm really scared of the evil Gwen arc! Gwen's my favorite character and Arwen is my only OTP on the show.
Thank you so much for the ask! I don't know the show that well, so I think I got ahead of myself requesting asks. When you get an ask, it's usually because people consider you an expert on the subject. Since I'm no expert, I feel like anything I say will be inadequate! But thanks so much! Why do you love these characters?

i am here preaching about going out of the house and having fun as if i hadn't seen the light of the sun in like a week lmao
on a bright note, i have all the night for myself!! (and since for some reason the uni's database decided it was a good idea to cancel my reservation for tomorrow's exam i won't be able to take it so... yeah that sucks but at least i can get a good night's rest instead of being anxious and all)
chinese is so hard lmao ;;; it's also harder if you're a dumbass like me that decided that four languages were not enough and i needed to expand my field or something with brand new ones (?) but oh well if everything goes according to plan by the end of uni i'll be able to understand genshin in all its dubs! small victories
zhongli is THE expensive dad but we all love him for that. honestly, i myself would rather have him as a sort of weird and wise mentor than a love interest, but ngl i'd just have him read books to me every night to lull me to sleep. i'd pay for his osmanthus tho! yesterday i made osmanthus tea syrup and made bubble tea out of it and it was delicious lmao
no guarantees a sexy adeptus is in the package with the almond tofu making but if you do see him tell him to come here too and say hi. we have uhhhh sweets and air con.
albedo and kazuha and flowers!!! and scara too ;;;; personally tho my favourite aesthetic for scara involves a face full of makeup: like almost theatre-like bold lines and glossy dark red lipstick and fair skin and slightly smudged black eyeliner to make his eyes look even shinier and a long silk dress with flowy sleeves ;;; or him with all those fake rhynestones you can glue to your face!! honestly i'd see all the genshin short men with those on tho. a fancy sparkly bunch of angels who could totally kick your ass to oblivion and look gorgeous while doing it.
have i talked too much? i probably did. but that's a-okay bc i am trying to get inspo to flow so maybe for once i will actually write something longer than three lines :') and ye second reminder the childe piece was indeed real cute, no matter what everyone else has or doesn't have to say <3
also!!! on the last note i don't really think you need to be a deity of makeup applying to look good in it. i know i'm not but just putting random shades on or drawing heart shapes on my face with eyeliner already makes me feel that much more happy ig. small victories <3
well with this i'll go and try to salvage whatever's left over from lunch so i can try and feed myself. good evening buns!!! and remember, you're beautiful and you're talented and most importantly you're loved 💕
tight hugs
- 🍓
omg, FOUR?!
I can barely speak English half the time, and I gave up on Japanese and French T^T
Yes, just - I would love to drink tea and discuss the wonders of the world with him, listening to his voice for hours on end. Zhongli would be perfect at ASMR if that’s your thing, that smooth voice just talking and talking about nothing in particular (IN ALL THE LANGUAGES - Zhongli just has THE best voice in the game in all of the dubs. That’s just impressive.) I’ve never had bubble tea,,, or much tea at all really. Is there any you personally recommend? I’ve been wanting to get into it for a while but just never really knew where to start or look.
When you described the Scara make up, it instantly reminded me of Yun Jin, they both look so pretty with a face full of really theatrical heavy make up;;;; Rhinestone’s make everyone look beautiful I s2g, like just under the all the rim of your eye? That’s just a look that can’t be beaten. (If I had more confidence, I would definitely look like that;;;)
It’s okay, say as much as you like !! I love hearing from you even if it takes me a millennia to reply,,, I have you find some inspiration soon!! (Thank you, that truly means a lot <33 Scara piece coming in two hours >:) )
Heart shapes are adorable !! Okay I’ll definitely try that, if I see a heart on my cheek I’ll probably instantly feel happier :,)
The last part made me tear up,,, thank you, for everything, you wonderful human being you <3
tight hugs and a platonic smooch on your cheek !!

tw. mentions / descriptions of a panic attack
bokuto was excited — more excited than he’d been in weeks!
he was finally getting the time to spend time with his beloved, his puppy, for the first time in forever thanks to the recent onslaught of drama the house had been embroiled in.
he figured he should thank you for bringing it all on because now, as he stood in front of meiko’s room, he had a chance.
“puppy!” bokuto called out, knocking on her door enthusiastically. after a moment of muttering, shuffling around and a loud curse, the door opened up just a crack to reveal meiko clad in only a thin bedsheet with her thin lips wrapped around a cigarette.
kotarou peered over her head and into her room where he spotted a quick flash of dark brown hair before meiko stepped out and closed the door behind her.
“who was that?” he questioned innocently, assuming that it was one of the other housemates. meiko narrowed her eyes at him and blew out a puff of smoke.
“what do you want bokuto.” her voice was steely and cold, nothing like her usual peppy self. still, bokuto couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was in there who shouldn’t be.
“you know,” kotarou began hesitantly, studying her face for reactions. “iwaizumi doesn’t like anyone in here who hasn’t signed a contract. and also you’re not allowed to smoke.” his nose turned up at the smell, disgust for the cigarette written clear on his face.
meiko rolled her eyes at him before taking another drag and blowing the smoke out straight into his face. bokuto tried to hold his breath for as long as he could but his lung capacity wasn’t so great. i need to work on that, he thought as he heaved and choked on the smoke circling down into his chest.
the love of his life adjusted her sheet covering before dropping the cigarette to the ground and stomping it out with the end of the blanket. “i asked you a question bokuto. what the fuck do you want?”
the harshness in her tone made him pause. was what he was here for actually important? or would it just bother her unnecessarily?
no, he resolved. bokuto missed her and he wanted to spend time with his kinda-but-not-really-girlfriend! especially after he waited all this time!
“i, i wanted to spend time with you...” with every word, his hesitance grew until he was muttering, the look in meiko’s eyes sending chills down his spine.
“no,” she said and turned back to enter her room. “wait!” bokuto’s hand shot out to grab her arm, very gently pulling her closer to him. “please,” he whispered, tears beginning to rim his wide, golden eyes.
meiko stared back up at him with absolute rage in her eyes as she snatched her limb out of his hold. “listen to me right now bokuto, and listen well,” she sneered, taking a step back towards her bedroom. “i have never liked you. you’re so fucking childish and clingy and annoying! i literally cannot understand how anyone cares to hang around you.”
bokuto felt something inside him shatter at her words, a sharp gasp escaping his parted lips. “but-“ “no buts! you are fucking nothing to me! all you were was a warm body to sleep with but you weren’t even good for that,” meiko’s chest heaved as she finished speaking, her dark eyes trained on the tear tracks on bokuto’s cheeks.
gently, he lifted a hand to his face, barely registering the water that covered them, his mind desperately trying to understand what had just occurred. in the back of his head, he briefly noticed the sound of a door closing and muffled giggling but it was covered by the sound of blood rushing in his ears.
how... could she? he loved her and she, she only wanted to fuck him? he poured out his entire heart, his very soul to her and for what? for her to take it and stomp on it until there was nothing left?
bokuto’s chest felt heavy — he wasn’t breathing. quickly, he took one breath, and then another and another and another until he was collapsed on the ground, heaving for air as he sobbed.
why him? what had he done to deserve this? maybe it was karma — he’d let a plastic bag float by him into a stream when he was 7 even though he knew littering was wrong. maybe it was because he didn’t kiss his mother goodbye the last time he saw her. or maybe the universe was punishing him for everything he’d done to you.
oh, you — the person who meiko had tried so hard to convince him to hate, and he had! his beloved had no reason to lie to him, or at least that’s what he believed until this moment. she lied to him about loving and caring about him so why wouldn’t she lie about everything else?
bokuto’s head was pounding as he tried to rationalize where he’d gone wrong, his usually bright eyes, dull and trained on the ceiling as he attempted to regain his breathing.
it felt like his whole world was collapsing on itself like a fallen star, just waiting to implode and destroy everyone and everything until there was nothing left and—
“hey, look at me, you’re ok,” a soft voice rang out over the buzzing in his head, his eyes beginning to focus on... your figure.
what were you doing here? he so desperately wanted to ask but the words were caught in his throat, trapped behind a wall of despair and anguish.
“don’t try to talk ok? just focus on my breathing, try and match it. i’m going to touch you now.” your soft, small (so much smaller — were you eating enough?) hand wrapped around his own and brought it up to your chest where he could feel the steady rise and fall of your breathing.
bokuto’s breath was shaky and definitely not as smooth as your own, but you didn’t seem to mind, instead holding his hand to your heart until his breathing became level and even.
he must’ve knocked out because by the time he came to, the hall was dark and you were gone, the only memory of you being a box of tissues and a glass of water on the ground next to him.
he reached for the glass first, chugging the whole thing down in only a few seconds. all that crying must have dehydrated him immensely, he realized as he searched for another cup.
standing on shaky legs, bokuto attempted to maneuver to the kitchen, holding onto the walls for stability as he crept through the dark corridors.
he quickly filled up his favorite owl mug (a gift from she-who-will-not-be-named) with water once he made it to the kitchen, extra careful not to make a lot of noise just in case someone was asleep.
bokuto swiftly gulped down his water, placing the cup in the sink where he knew it would not remain because if anything was sure, it was the clean state of the house that meiko kept.
ugh meiko. the whole situation hurt to think about so he didn’t, instead choosing to bury it in the deep recesses of his mind, never to be seen again.
as bokuto trudged upstairs back to his bedroom, he noticed the big black trash bag sat at the end of the hall near daichi’s room. he debated on taking it out himself but was ultimately convinced not to.
it’ll be gone tomorrow, he reasoned as he slipped into his room and bed before quickly falling asleep.
...
it was not gone the next day. neither was the cup in the sink, or the hair on the floor in the bathroom, or the laundry strewn all over the living room.
the whole house seemed to be in shambles and it remained that way for the entirety of the week. meiko was nowhere to be seen, flitting in and out of the house at random, escaping to only god knows where with god knows who.
bokuto didn’t care anymore. she ruined his life so why should he give a half of a shit where she was? what he did care about, on the other hand, was figuring what to do about you.
he wanted to thank you and apologize but he wasn’t sure how to do so! he knew he said some horrible things to you and was determined to make it right — not just for you but for himself too.

bad romance
Tumblr media
+ pairing: levi ackerman x reader
+ genres and warnings: friends with benefits au, friends to lovers au (well i guess that’s open for interpretation lmao), modern au—college au?, explicit smut, mentioned/implied virginity
+ summary: friends with benefits with your best friend since middle school is probably a bad idea. friends with benefits with your best friend since middle school who you’ve also been in love with for the past seven years—all for the purpose of her gaining ‘experience’ so she’s not nervous to do it with some other guy she has a crush on—is probably a really bad idea. levi ackerman is not known to make great decisions.
+ word count: 3.5k
+ notes: truth be told, i don’t even know if i like this; i took this from an outline/draft of a series i’d planned but know i’ll never complete. it’s kind of unedited too heh, also if you’re a minor pls do not interact 
Tumblr media
Levi doesn’t think anything of it when he finds you on his doorstep on a rainy Saturday evening. It’s very much like you to show up unannounced and attempt to drag him into whatever activity you want to do that day. He’s fairly certain that Hange picked that up from you. Someone should tell her that it doesn’t work so well unless it’s you tugging on his arm sleeve and interrupting his otherwise peaceful evening. 
So, for a while, everything is normal. You make fun of him for his use of, admittedly overpriced, organic butter when he toasts you a bagel; he makes jabs at you shuffling around his apartment like a semi-wet chihuahua, and all is right with the world.
Until it’s not. Because half-way into whatever stand-up comedy Netflix special you’d persuaded him into watching with you, Levi’s had enough of your nervous ticking. He doesn’t know if you think that he wouldn’t notice, but he does. And he knows it’s not the result of you still being wet or cold from the rain, seeing as you’ve long since dried off and warmed up. 
You’re focused on the show (ironically, focused to a point of distraction), you’ve been twiddling your fingers since it started, and you’ve been fidgety since you stepped foot into his house. Quite frankly, he finds it insulting that you think he wouldn’t know something’s up by now.
So, he bends his knee, turns his body towards yours, lifts his elbow to rest atop the edge of the soft, and presses his cheek into his palm: “Alright, spit it out.”
“Huh?—What do you mean?” You look at him with wide, startled eyes. He looks back at you with unamused, expecting ones.
You crack a nervous smile, attempting to laugh off his command as incredulous, but instead, your voice comes out in what sounds like a pathetic attempt to cover up a lie—probably because it is, “What? Can’t I spend sometime with my favorite, surly psychology student?”
Levi scoffs at your batting eyelashes. The look he throws you seems to do the trick as you drop your facade with a sigh and shift yourself to face him on the couch too, your bent knees almost touching.
“Alright, fine, you got me,” you sigh, hands resting in your lap, “You, um... you know how you said you’d help me with, like, uh... sex and stuff?”
Levi raises an eyebrow. Of course he does. He watches as your eyes dart around the room waiting for his response. It’s cute as heck, and if the topic of conversation at hand weren’t about to get so compromising, he’d have probably teased you about it.
“Yeah, why?”
“Well… okay, so, you remember Jean, right? The guy I told you about?”
Levi hums. Yeah, he remembers Jean, but only because you can’t seem to shutup about him, not because he’s particularly memorable otherwise. He seems to be kind of a prick and a huge idiot, if you asked Levi; but, that’s kind of his default impression of most people. 
“Jean and I hung out yesterday, and it was normal, you know? We just talked and ordered food and watched a movie,” you rub your palms along the fabric of your yoga pants—another nervous tick he’s been observing, “I don’t know if it was a date or not, because he didn’t say it was, and I don’t want to assume, but Marco keeps saying it was, and that Jean wants to actually ask me out.”
Levi blinks. “And?”
“And if he does ask me out—or even if he just… I don’t know, wants to try something the next time we hang out, I don’t want to look like a complete idiot!”
He refrains from letting a noticeable grimace take over his features; and washes away the unsettling feeling in his stomach with a nonchalant comment, “I doubt he’ll try anything on your first date.”
“But what if it’s not a date! People hang out just to hook up all the time.”
“I thought you wanted to date him?” Levi questions, but his it comes out as more of a deadpan statement.
“I do,” you answer, your response a little delayed and drawn out, “But, I wouldn’t mind just sleeping with him, either.”
“Bold statement from someone who’s never slept with anyone before.”
“Have I told you today that you’re an asshole?” you roll your eyes at him, “Come on, Levi, you know what it’s like to just want someone, but not want them, don’t you? You’ve had one night stands before.”
That’s true, Levi knows it, but it’s different. He wasn’t actively seeking advice from his friends about how to pursue and potentially please his one night stands because none of that mattered—well, the pleasing part, probably, but not the pursuit, or the feelings that came with it. Besides, Levi hasn’t felt the desire for any of that in a long time.
“That’s not the same,” he responds, trying to dismiss the muddy feelings crawling up his throat, “Look, if your Jean guy gets horny when you’re hanging out, just make out with him—make him jizz his pants or something.”
“That’s terrible advice,” you frown, “Plus, he’s probably done that with a million other girls.”
“Probably. Sex tends to repeat a few basic actions here and there.”
“For a psychology student, you sure are a terrible makeshift therapist, do you know that?”
“That’s not even the kind of psychology I study, never mind that I never asked to be your therapist.”
Levi takes great amusement in your huffing and the frustrated pout settling into your features, though he does his best to not let his own smile shine through. It’s probably futile; you can probably see through his facade, anyways.
“I just don’t want to bore him, Levi.”
Any trace of his smile vanishes as those words leave your mouth. Levi doesn’t retain much about this Jean guy you keep going on about, and he doesn’t care to in all honesty—but maybe if he did, he could understand why you’re so hellbent on pleasing the kid.
Levi doesn’t like it, not one single bit. His own feelings for you aside, he doesn’t like how Jean has managed to worm his way into your head and make you think that he’s deserving of any kind of affection from you, whether it be platonic, romantic, or sexual. Because he isn’t; Levi might not know him, but he knows that much. 
Still, he sympathizes with you. He understands the pressure of navigating dating and hookup culture, especially in a university setting; never mind the additional expectations set on you as a girl. It’s shitty, all of it; the stupid feelings, the sense of uncertainty, the dumb-ass college pricks. You shouldn’t have to deal with any of that. 
“You won’t,” is Levi’s simpler response, “Just don’t crush his dick in the process.”
“I wouldn’t do that, fuck you.”
“I’m just saying, you’ve never been the most coordinated person in the world,” he taunts, “If that’s what you came here today to ask me to help you with, it’s fine.”
“Really?—I mean, okay, I know we said that’s okay, and stuff, but I didn’t know if—well I don’t know what’s on the table or not? I do want to do that with you, but I also wanted to know if we could do… more? But I didn’t want to ask for too much and make you uncomfortable! Do we need a lesson-plan of sorts, because I can make—”
“You’re doing it.”
“Doing what?”
“Stalling,” Levi tells you, “You know, how when you get all nervous and ramble, then run out of breath or things to say, then get super quiet, and let the conversation die and be awkward again.”
You throw daggers his way with your eyes, and Levi has the audacity to smirk. “Forgive me, it’s not every day I ask my best friend if I can suck his dick for practice.”
“You can,” Levi replies, a little too nonchalant for the situation at hand, “If you want. I don’t mind. As for a lesson plan, that’s weird as shit, so don’t do that.”
“Really? I can?” you question again, an ironic child-like glimmer of joy in your eyes.
Levi chuckles lowly at your enthusiasm—your appreciation is so genuine, he finds it nothing short of adorable. And oddly enough, he’s a little turned on by it, too.
“Yeah,” he nods his head shallowly, “You can.”
You still have that gleam in your eyes, but Levi can feel the hesitation creeping up on you, and offers his guidance before he loses you to a shell of yourself. He shifts over to you just a bit, loosely holding your right wrist in his grip; holding eye-contact, he carefully pulls you up to stand in front of him.
“You can start,” he says, slowly tugging on your wrist, “By getting on your knees and taking off my pants.”
By the time he’s finished speaking, you’re already kneeling in front of him, and the sight is already enough to have Levi semi-hard in his pants; an almost embarrassed flush washing over his body as he comes to terms with the fact that he’s thought about this visual more times than he cares to ever admit.
You fumble with the zipper of his jeans, pulling them, along with his boxers to pool around his ankles. Your actions are careful and calculated, but you seem comfortable—maybe not with your skills, but with Levi.
His eyes stay glued on you, when you finally hold his length with a single hand, the other resting hot on his thigh. He leans over again, this time to rest a comforting hand on the back of your neck, eager to wash away any remains of your nervous resolve.
“Start slow,” he instructs, feeling your thumb swipe along the head, “Just move your hand up and down a bit, like—ah, yeah, like that.”
You seem follow his words carefully, focusing on the way his dick jerks in your hand. Levi observes you carefully and mentally notes that while he’d have liked it, not making out with you before this was probably the right call—he’d probably have creamed his jeans before this could have begun.
“You can grip it harder,” he tells you. You listen, applying slightly more pressure to your grasp; and it makes Levi groan, short, but strangled, above you.
“Okay?” you question, the genuine concern in your voice enough to make Levi’s gaze soften.
“Yeah, that’s—you’re doing good,” he says, rubbing his thumb against the nape of your neck habitually, “Twist your hand a little when you go up, you can—fuck, okay, yeah, that, like that.”
You snap your head up to look at him when he lets a moan slip through; nothing but pure enthusiasm and satisfaction dancing in your eyes. Levi grits his teeth when you do it again, your thumb sliding over the tip when you reach the top of his dick, and, Christ, you’ve got to stop looking at him like that.
You work your way into a steady rhythm, letting Levi’s moans guide your movements. You feel him harden to full length under your touch; and when he does, you move your hand faster, twisting your wrist around the length and squeezing just a pinch harder at the tip, without instruction.
He watches through lidded eyes, using his thumb to press lightly into the back of your neck. You move your free hand from his thighs, eager to add it to the mix, but Levi freezes.
“Nuh uh,” he shakes his head.
It prompts you to stop your actions, tilt your head and look up at him, and Levi doesn’t think he’s ever seen something so sinful. Your complete focus on him, neck craned obediently, eyes twinkling under your lashes; your position makes him want to kiss you or choke you or something in between.
“What—did I do something wrong?” you ask with wide and innocent eyes that make Levi feel bad for worrying you, yet send an erotic pulse throughout his body.
“Not at all,” he reassures you, fingers treading into the hair at your nape.
He’s setting himself up for failure, and he knows it, too—because, really, who agrees to teach a friend how to suck dick? Having you on your knees in front him, crane into his touch, and keen to all his desires, does nothing to mask the painful fire in the pit of his stomach.
It’s stupid to be this hungry, this possessive over you when he knows you come to him in hopes to learning how to please another man. But one, precious thought is enough to cloud over all of that, enough to put that sadistic smirk back on his face.
“You said you wanted to give me a blowjob, right?” he questions, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth at the shallow nod of your head, “Okay. Open your mouth for me, yeah?”
He barely pushes the tip past your lips when your head dips forward, tongue peeking out to lick the very top. Levi sucks in sharp air between his teeth, relaxing into the couch when your head bobs further, enclosing the tip of his dick in your mouth.
“Fuck,” he groans, voice hoarse when his hardened cock rests against the velvet wet of your tongue, “That’s it—just keep going, like that.”
He watches intensely as your head bobs onto him. It’s hot and wet and so much more than he’d imagined it would be; and he’s not too shy to admit he’s imagined this with you. He moves his hand to brush away the flyaways of your hair, smoothing them back and tangling his fingers at the back of your head. He carefully guides your movements.
It’s slow and steady, and normally, it’d take him a while to cum like this, but with the visual of having you on your knees for him, Levi can feel a faint warmth of his orgasm already beginning to bubble inside of him.
“This is okay, right?” you pull back, a thin line of spit trailing from your mouth.
“Yes, yes,” he answers immediately, unaware of his tightening grasp on your hair.
With a shy smile, you continue, taking more of him this time and carefully gauging his reactions. You move your head further down, testing your own limits, until you feel like you’re choking. You pull back again, with an embarrassed cough.
“Don’t push yourself,” he says softly, rubbing soothing circles into your neck with his fingers, “Guys can’t actually tell the difference between a regular blowjob and being deep throated, no need to choke yourself.”
“Wait, really?” you ask, resting you bum against your heels.
“You seem so surprised.”
“That’s just so… disappointing,” you crinkle your nose, “Men and porn make deep-throating seem like the end all be all of giving head.”
Levi chuckles in genuine amusement, “Well, it’s not, trust me. If any guy insists on being deep-throated just to cum, he’s a fucking liar. He’s getting off on the submission, not the actual feeling.”
“The submission?”
“Getting someone to be willing to listen to them, telling them what to do, how to please them,” he shrugs, “Makes you feel like you’re in control.”
“And that… that works?”
“Yeah,” Levi says, “But, judging by the tone of your voice, and how willing you were to suck my dick three seconds ago, I’d say the idea of being dominant doesn’t really appeal to you.”
You scrunch your nose again, “Does it appeal to you?”
Levi pauses, thinking over his answer, before giving you a simple, “Yeah. Most of the time.”
“Oh,” you hum, “I… I don’t think I’d like that.  I think I’d rather be told what to do, seeing as I don’t really know what I’m doing, anyways.”
“Ironic, considering you’ve never once listened anything I tell you do.”
“I was listening when you told me how to suck your dick,” you correct him, “You seemed to enjoy that.”
Levi pauses with a raised eyebrow. You don’t seem to back down, that matter-of-fact smirk on your face still mocking him. He leans over slowly, using his right hand to guide your head closer to him, and uses his left hand to grab your jaw between his fingers.
“You can be such a fucking brat, you know that,” he all but whispers, pursing your lips together in his hold, “Since you like listening to me so much, then shut up, and we can finish what you started.”
You blink, staring at him with a wide-eyed expression. He’s right that under any other circumstance you’d probably run your mouth off about him telling you what to do. But something about the way he knows what he wants and tells how he wants it makes you listen without an argument.
You nod, slowly wrapping your lips around the tip again, and bobbing along his length. Levi’s breath hitches when you hollow your cheeks slightly, a rough hand pressing down on the back of your neck.
“You’re really—god, okay, you’re good at this, you know,” Levi praises you, letting his right hand resume its position at the back of your neck.
If you had any doubts before about being submissive, the look on Levi’s face seemed to have wiped them away. Watching him throw his head back, his fingers gripping at your nape, his cock in your mouth—pleasing him seemed to be enough to please you, too.
“I wanna make you cum, Levi,” you voice your thoughts, letting a hand lazily jerk him off in the mean time, “Tell me what I have to do to make you cum.”
“If you keep going, I’ll cum,” he answers too quickly, a groan slipping through his words, “Trust me.”
“Come on, Levi,” you push, rolling your thumb over the slit of his dick. It makes him inhale sharply; you’re getting a little too good at that; at all of this. “Can—I mean, do you wanna cum in my mouth?”
“Shit, shit. Don’t say shit like that,” he curses, blunt nails raking and scraping at your scalp, “You don’t have to—I can just—”
“I want you to,” you tell him earnestly, “Please?”
Fuck, he was pretty fucking certain he’d told you to stop saying shit like that. Levi bites the inside of his cheek, paces himself; uses both of his hands to hold your head gently, while you use yours to wrap around his cock.
He grunts with a shake, and rolls his hips up, pushing himself further into your mouth, but not so much as to hurt you. It’s soon after that hot strophes of cum wet your tongue, and Levi lets you lazily jerk him off until you’ve milked his orgasm.
The room is silent save for his low moans and the squeaking of his thighs against the leather couch. When he’s finished, he slouches back, looking at you through hooded eyes, sweaty and panting, when you close your mouth and swallow.
You use your fingers to collect any remaining cum from his softening cock, and hum contented as you put your fingers in your mouth. Levi locks eyes with you again, cheeks flushed as you pull your digits out of your mouth, and he has to grip at his own thigh to gain the self-control to not get hard again.
You’re going to be the fucking death of him some day.
He shakes his head when you move backwards with a cute smile and pulls his boxers up, then his pants as best his can, not bothering to zip them up. When he’s done, you stand to your feet then straddle him on the couch, laughing lowly at his post-orgasm haze.
He doesn’t think twice about the way your hands clasp at the back of his neck, or the way his find their way to rest on your hips. You grab ahold of his jaw with both hands, holding his face in place. He thinks you’re going to lean in, but you don’t; just stay like that, your eyes roaming his glassy eyes.
“Are you gonna kiss me or just stare at me all day?” he questions, lips pulled into a knowing grin.
“Can I?” your question makes him frown in confusion, “Dunno, I heard some guys don’t like that after getting head.”
“Bunch a fuckin pussies,” he grumbles, leaning forward to close the gap between your mouths. He can feel you smile into it, and mimics your grin when you begin to press short, repeated kisses against his lips.
“You’re the best, you know that?”
He laughs when you continue to press quick kisses on his lips. “You’re not so bad yourself.”
You kiss him on the cheek, wet and dramatic. “Love you, Levi.”
Your face is right in front of his, but he averts his gaze, a different kind go warmth spreading throughout his chest when you flash a smile at him. He lets you kiss him again, longer this time, but still slow and sweet. He likes the feeling of you resting against him, affection lingering on your tongue when you kiss him.
It’s dangerous, but he likes the way you spark a fire in him. Sweet or sinful, it makes him feel boneless, wanted, loved.
Levi leans forward, rubbing his hands up your sides, and captures your lips in another languid kiss before pulling away to peck the corner of your mouth. “Love you, too.”
And he means it of course, but if Levi thought he had it bad before, he’s in deep shit now.
