Paintbrushes And Romance 🥰🐞 - Part 12

Dean x Fem/Reader

Part 12🥰🐞

A/N: Dean saved her, or did he? This is a tear jerker, trust me. 🥹 Side Note: thank you all so much for the support. Much love, my bugsies 🥰🐞

Warnings: hospital scenes, trigger warnings, sadness, 🥹

......

Running through the door, while she's in his arms, barely breathing, his face over written with fear, shouting, asking for help, the doctors placing her on the bed, sharing concerned looks, looking over seeing Bobby also in bad shape makes him want to kill the damn, bastard all over again.

If only he'd figured out it sooner, if only he'd never left her side, if only he'd...

Dean! Sam's voice filled with urgency and concern, damnit Dean, man! Sam hit's Dean's arm!

"What? Dean's voice filled with anger but not towards Sam!

Listen man, your bleeding the doctor, needs to check you out.

Dean's face puzzled, he's voice more distant, no, I'm fine, its not that bad, pulling his shirt a little to the side, exposing the muscular chest, with the blood seeping through the torn open stitches.

Sam, gives him a look that say's he needs to sit down, while saying come on, let them stitch you up real quick,!

Dean not looking away from where she's laying, I don't want to leave her, saying underneath his breath.

Okay man, I get it but you need to look after yourself so that you can take care of her, when she wakes up, she's going to need you. Sam says, gesturing to the open bed.

Dean just nods, knowing there's a long road ahead of them, but he's willing to do anything to help her get through this, sitting down on the bed, taking off his shirt, not taking he's eyes off of her, waiting for the doctor to stitch him up, he just recalls every memory everything, he could have done differently.

....

Its been four days, and she still hasn't woken up, Dr Stone, what is going on,? the sadness in Caroline's eyes and voice is just a bit to much for the doctor.

She's exhausted, her body is fighting the sepsis, we have her on great antibiotics , but its going to take a while, for her, she suffered a great trauma, and her body was malnourished when she, came in, so her body is trying to restore antibodies to fight. The good news is her vitals looks really well. Caroline, don't you worry, your daughter is fighter, Dr Stone says with a reassuring smile.

Thank you Doctor, I really appreciate all your doing for her, a little smile tugging at her lips, the sadness and worry visible on her face.

Hey! Mom, Joe said with a smile and a gigantic teddy bear.

"Son what in the world is that,? laughing a little.

"Mom, you know how sis always said she wanted a big damn bear, well I found one, and I know she's going to love it, as soon as she wakes up, she'll want to hold it!

"All Caroline can do is just shake her head and smile, while looking at her very handsome son, with his bright blue eyes, dark hair, and viking beard, come here she says, pulling him into a hug. I love you son.

"I love you too mom, he says with his deep, low voice, glancing over to his sister, laying there, the bruises on her face, have discoloured a bit, its more purplish-yellow than the dark blue it was before, but it's still like someone has taken a knife and twisted it in his heart, over and over again.

"He is just so mad, so mad at the scum who took her, so mad at Dean Winchester, for breaking her heart, even though he cleared everything up, by telling them what happened, so mad at himself, for not being there when she needed him, just so damn mad all the time, but he knows he, has to be strong for his parents , they need him now!

....

Walking through the doors, he came to know so well, everyday hoping, praying for his daughter to just be okay, be that little girl, who looked at the world, wide-eyed with so much kindness, so much love, and so much hope. Why did life, had to beat up his little girl? Why did this damn world had to be so cruel? She didn't deserve any of this!

Clenching his fist's, whispering, I had one job, and that's to protect my daughter, and what did I do? Damn nothing, what could I do? Driving up and down, searching everywhere and nowhere,for days, barely getting any sleep, replaying everything over and over, he catches a glimpse of his own reflection in the stainless steel, that's on the doors he passes, walking to his daughter's room, his eyes tired, every line across his face defining his age, became more prominent, knowing this week and a half made him older than what he should be.

Before entering the room, taking a deep breath, in his nostrils, making his chest rise and fall down, so that he can sort of gain courage, so that his beloved wife and son can lean on him, whenever this get to much.

A little smile tugging at his lips, when he sees Caroline and Joe hugging eachother, knowing even though, there sitting in this hospital room, waiting for his daughter to wake up, day in and day out, night after night, taking turns with Dean, he is stil a very blessed man, his family is together again.

...

In the distance, in the corner, there's balloons, with the words imprinted, stating, "get well soon" , There's flowers different, colours and shapes, something that looks like postcards, with pictures ranging from bears to hearts, and then chairs, underneath the big window, with two figures just sitting, heads resting on the not so comfortable, backdrop of the chairs, and then, a hand holding her hand loosely.

Your eyelids still heavy but your just taking everything in, your in the hospital, how did you get here? Looking towards the big window, it must be late at night, just before dawn, because its so dark!

Trying to push yourself up on your arms, just to collapse back , to your previous position.

Trying to figure out why you feel so damn weak and exhausted, your thoughts get interrupted by a soft, kind voice, saying "hi honey, sweetie"

Mom? Confusing clear in your voice...

"Yes sweetie it's me mommy, her voice breaking, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Mom, it's really you, your voice sounds sweeter than normal, your here, I'm here, its going to be alright now, isn't it, a silent tear escaping your eyelid."

Yes sweetie, your safe, we've got you. Caroline's voice filled with so much love.

"Joe waking Bill up, saying she's awake"

The two men come walking closer...

Your eyes big and wet, with tears you're trying to fight back. Daddy, Joe, your voice Breaking.

Joe speaks first, a smile on his lips, hey sis, I know you like your naps, but goodness, did you need so long, he says mockingly.

"A little laugh escapes over your busted lips, sorry I was just probably having a good dream.

Bill's deep voice breaks the lightheartedness shared between the siblings. Sweetheart, look at you, my brave girl, daddy is so happy your awake.

"Daddy, I'm so happy too see you, all of you, a little sniffle and silent tears rolling over your cheeks.

The three of them just standing there, eyes filled with hope and tears they hug you tightly. It hurts everywhere but damn it feels good, you think.

....

The black coffee, going down smoothly over his lips, not taking the punch it used too, I guess that's what you get, by the 10th cup, he says to no one really, the hallway lighting is dim, as its early morning, looking down at his watch, 3'o clock, hearing Sammy's voice in his head, "Dean you can't just sit here waiting for her to wake up, you need some sleep man, just take care of yourself too."

He does do the basic shit, taking a shower, eating now and then, living on coffee, because whiskey is not appropriate in the hospital, he says with a scoff. I'm not leaving her sight, now way in hell. The only reason I'm sitting in the hallway is when her family stays the night, he can't help feel like he's intruding. He sees the way Joe looks at him, not even to talk about Bill, like he's the bastard in this horrific story.

Wishing he could just tell them how badly, how guilty he feels about every damn thing that happened.

I need damn refill, he says getting up, walking past the room, he knows so well, something catches his eye.

Just standing in the door, trying to slow his fast beating heart. She's sitting upright, talking, she's awake, what the hell. Walking closer, the low light, illuminating the beauty in her eyes, her hair hanging over her shoulders, framing her face, his voice sounds, lower and more gruffy than normal when he says baby.

"Caroline gesturing to Bill and Joe they should leave the two of them alone, as they walk out"

Her eyes wide, the surprised look on her face, letting him know, that they haven't told her, he's alive. Bobby said what happened, what Luke told them.

Hearing her sweet voice say his name. "Dean, is, is that really you, she stutters"

Coming closer the side of her bed, yes, sweetheart its really me, I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere, he says in a firm but loving voice.

The tears streaming down her beautiful face, she's frantically sobbing now, when she says I love you.

Dean smiling at her, I love you too, he's big calloused hands cups her face, searching her eyes, if it's okay, he leans in, his lips crashing against hers, tasting the saltiness, of the tears on her lips, knowing he loves this woman more than life itself, thinking I will stand by you, I will help you through, I will dry your eyes, I will hold you tight, I won't let you go..

First Prince song of the day.

#firstprince #red white and royal blue #alex x henry #henry x alex #casey mcquiston #Spotify

[respectthepetty]

The only one whose intentions I can't entirely understand is Nick. Like Boston is pretty harmless, he is just a hoe and a shitty friend. Mew is straight-laced and could be devilish, but pretends to be a kind of a saint to get away with things. Top is just a red flag, all around. Ray is broken in a way he himself doesn't understand and (falsely) projects loving Mew will resolve all his hurt. Sand is a walking green flag, at least so far. But Nick, I don't know, I can't tell if he's just starting out as a Machiavellian villain that'll do a double kill on both Boston and Top, or he is just obsessed with Boston to hurt him but keep Boston on a leash.

Anon, I'm gonna skip over you writing that "Boston is pretty harmless" so I can get to your ask - Nick.

In this series, Raymond is my #1, but Nicolas is my strong #2, and it's partially because they remind me of a good ass country song.

Think Brokeback Mountain's Jack Twist screaming his legendary line "I wish I knew how to quit you" because that shit is a good ass country song delivered in one line.

*switching into my west Texas accent*

Yes, I wrote "country song" in a post about Thai gays.

See, I love music. I have a large collection of vinyl records and CDs. I like going to music festivals and concerts. I love rap for its wordplay. I love ranchera for the dramatics ("El Rey" anyone?). And I love country for its storytelling.

So the second Nick called Top instead of Mew, I heard Dolly Parton's iconic "Jolene"

In case you are not familiar with the legend who is "Jolene," the song deals with a woman begging another woman to not take her man. This woman knows she cannot compete with Jolene. She knows she is not as beautiful or alluring, so she begs Jolene to let her man go, in hopes that he'll come back to her.

Hopefully, I won't be hearing Dolly Parton's other masterpiece "I Will Always Love You" (yes, the one that Whitney Houston covered for The Bodyguard).

And I always hear the incredible Patsy Cline's "Crazy" whenever Nick looks at Boston.

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying And I'm crazy for loving you

Because even though Nick is matching Boston's "No Boundaries" energy, he isn't malicious, not yet anyway. No.

Nick is in love, with a guy who doesn't love him back.

And he knows that.

But knowing doesn't help when it comes to matters of the heart.

Other genres have songs that capture the feeling of losing your mind over someone who doesn't love you and being incapable of stopping, but a good ass country song just really hits at the core of that kind of toxic love.

Like Dan + Shay's "How Not To" which tells the story of a man who knows that his lover is no good, but doesn't know how not to love them.

So I read Nick as a boy in desperate love with the wrong man. He is Rascal Flatts "What Hurts the Most" when the lead singers croons that the worst part of his love was "not seeing that love in you."

And that type of love makes you do crazy shit.

Boston was honest in the beginning that he didn't want anything serious, and even though he has changed his tune when needed, everyone else has warned Nick as well about Boston.

Nick knew who walked into his store the second he looked into Boston's eyes.

Yet he couldn't stop himself from falling in love.

If Oh No! Here Comes Trouble taught me anything, it's that love can be an obsession mostly when grieving love, and Nick has to be grieving the love he knows he will never get from Boston while still loving him.

So this is why Nicolas is my #2. He is a good ass country song about a man who hopes that his love will make his lover stay, only to realize that his love isn't enough and probably never will be.

And before any of you ask, Ray is the drinking side of good country songs, but he and Sand in particular are "Tennessee Whiskey"

I've looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of a bottle's always dry But when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it 'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy

So raise your bottle to Nick's pain.

And slow dance under some hicktown's bar lights.

Because like my girl Bonnie Raitt sang " I will give up this fight 'cause I can't make you love me, if you don't" (yeah, that famous song George Michael covered).

#only friends #nick is a good ass country song #I love country music and Nick #I want the best for him #the best is either getting toxic Boston #or losing the guy he loves #he can't win #and he knows that

Hi rule

Multi-part question. Fo you ever see a trope (on tumblr, in media, etc) and think "oh I wanna include that in a story" or "I wanna do a twist on this" and then do you, most of the time, actually include it or just hoard it in your stash for an ambiguous later?

Hi Sweet Sleepy!! <3

I had to think on this because I couldn't think of anything off the top of my head. I still cannot think of anything I've seen HERE. Where I do find not tropes, but plot lines, characters, etc is in the media I consume. Most of the time I start the wip, even if it then sits for a bit because once an idea comes, the characters tend not to shut up! LOL I'll give you a few examples below the cut.

Princess of Thieves was inspired actually by a "writing prompt" of - a princess runs away to avoid a marriage and joins a band of rogues. She falls in love with one, who she later finds out is the Prince. - I liked the IDEA, but my characters went - NO, she falls in love with the KNIGHT, but the Prince falls in love with her...and...we have a story.

Behind These Masks took all of my favorite archeology and relic hunting shows and squished them all together into one story. Indiana Jones, The Librarians, The Mummy, and Tomb Raider all twisted and turned.

Tapperhet was inspired by the Rascal Flatts song "Won't Let Go", but instead of a love song, I wanted it to be between friends. That found family, siblings, steadfast love that doesn't bend or break, no matter what comes. The details the characters decided for me from a quote, "I am the daughter of a King who has forgotten my name".

The relationship in The Imperium Chronicles between Leandre and Yael is inspired by Chris Mann's song "North Star". When I decided to add my roleplaying characters into The Imperium Chronicles, I was trying to figure out how to, and adding them as companions to some of my existing strong ones seemed the best way. I had music playing. When this song came on, the characters led the way.

The whole of The Imperium Chronicles kind of started as fan fiction of Cassandra Claire. Me and some of my friends threw out the parts of her world we didn't like (a whole fuck ton) and kept what we did then filled in the blanks with our own ideas. That was over a decade ago, and what I'm writing now has very little semblance of how it started, but it was built on her ideas.

I'm not sure if this is quite what you meant, but this is a lot of how my writing goes. I have a scene written for The Andromeda Effect that was inspired by 21 Pilots "Heathens". It's in the future when Adira has reclaimed her power and who she is, so Caliban and Theron introduce her to the Counsel of Family Heads. The scene played out in my head as I was listening to the music.

Heartbeat - Ethan Carter III x Adalynn Strowman

Heartbeat – Carrie Underwood

“I wanna feel it like a kick drum, beatin' faster in your chest. I wanna feel you holding onto me and make me hold my breath. You pull me closer, my head on your shoulder Baby, we won't need a song. We'll make a fallen star wish, one more slow kiss. What are we waiting on?”

Yours - Dominik Dijakovic x Skye Simmons

Yours – Russell Dickerson

“I was one in a hundred billion A burned out star in a galaxy. Just lost in the sky, wonderin' why, Everyone else shines out but me. But. I came to life when I first kissed you, The best me has his arms around you. You make me better than I was before, Thank God I'm yours.”

The Day Before You - Ridge Holland x Lyssa Hutchinson

The Day Before You – Rascal Flatts

“I was ready to settle for less than love And not much more. There was no such thing as a dream come true. But that was on the day before you. Now you're here and everything's changing.

Long Time Coming - Bucky Barnes x Carina Rivera

From The Ground Up - Drew McIntire x Cassidy Riley 

From the Ground Up – Dan + Shay

“And we'll build this love from the ground up. Now 'til forever it's all of me, all of you, Just take my hand. And I'll be the man your dad hoped that I'd be.

For worse or for better And I will be all you need, Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad We'll give all that we have And we'll build this love from the ground up.”

Finally Home - Ari Levinson x Brianna Collier 

Finally Home – Kerrie Roberts

The Hot Tub-JJ Maybank x fem reader

Word count: 2900(sorry if this is a lot)

Tags/warnings: Hurt/Abuse mention, alcohol, fluff/smut

Synopsis: A reimagining of the hot tub scene in 1×07, in which reader and JJ are best friends and reader finds JJ in the hot tub instead of Pope and Kie. Things get emotional and some secrets come to light. Song inspiration: I Won't Let Go by Rascal Flatts

This one of my first smuts. It is also on my wattpad, SerpentBeauty1710, in my All The Oneshots book, and might get posted to my AO3.

It's like a storm that cuts a path

It breaks your will, It feels like that

You think you're lost, but you're not lost on your own

You're not alone

I will stand by you, I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

If you can't cope

I will dry your eyes, I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight, and I won't let go

It hurts my heart to see you cry

I know it's dark, this part of life

Oh it finds us all, and we're too small

To stop the rain, oh but when it rains

I will stand by you, I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

And you can't cope

Iwill dry your eyes, I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight, and I won't let you fall

Don't be afraid to fall, I'm right here to catch you

I won't let you down, It won't get you down

You're gonna make it, yeah I know you can make it

'Cause I will stand by you, I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

And you can't cope

And I will dry your eyes, I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight, and I won't let go

Oh I'm gonna hold you, and I won't let go

Won't let you go

No I won't

............

You headed back to the Chateau, anxious as hell after the day's events and just needing a break. You practically lived there just like the rest of your friends, the pogues. At this point, John B should probably rename it The Routledge Home for Wayward Teens or some shit.

It was your safe haven from everything going on at your house, not only because of the freedom, but because JJ was always there. He understood you on a personal level because his home life was similar and he always knew what to do to make you feel better. You, of course, did the same thing for him. You and JJ had been best friends since like kindergarten and you had pretty much been in love with him from the moment you met him. Not that he felt the same way. He could have any girl he wanted and he flirted with literally every girl he met. But even though he was a little bit off the rails, he had a deeply caring, loyal heart and he'd do absolutely anything for the people he loved. He was recklessly fun, ridiculously hot and was stupidly good at pretty much everything as though it came naturally to him. It really wasn't fair for someone to be so perfectly imperfect...

The lights and music ahead broke you out of your thoughts and you looked around, your eyes widening in shock.

Someone had hung up string lights all over from the trees to John B's house and put random decorations everywhere. In the middle of the yard was a hot tub, and in the hot tub was JJ. He had sunglasses on and a bottle of champagne in one hand.

"JJ, what did you do?" you asked, trying process the scene in front of you.

"I have a jet going straight up my butt right now," JJ chuckled, sounding a bit buzzed. He grabbed a glass that was floating by on an inflatable flamingo cup holder and poured champagne into it. "You should get in, like, immediately."

"Dude, how much did all this cost?" You pressed.

JJ looked around. "Ummm, well, with the generator, fuel, oh and express delivery....pretty much all of it."

"All of it?!"

"Yeah. All of it." he said.

"You spent all the money in ONE DAY?!" You asked incredulously.

"Yep. Burned a hole right through my pocket." He answered. "But I mean, come on dude, look at this! Finest in jet based massage therapy! That's what they told me, anyway."

You just looked at him in disbelief.

"What, Y/N? Can't a man have a little luxury in life? Come on, all this scrimpin and scrapin...I mean...look, you only live once right?" JJ paused then shook his head. "Enough of this emotional shit. Get in the Cat's Ass, come on."

"Get in the what?"

"The Cat's Ass. That's what I named her." JJ said, half smiling and biting his lip. Then his eyes lit up. "Oh hey yo, I almost forgot!"

He hit a switch which caused more jets to spray, the water to change colors and a disco ball to light up and spin.

He gestured around excitedly. "Yeah, that's right, I know! Disco mode! That's right, baby!"

"Are you kidding me? You could have paid your restitution or bought stuff to help us get the gold out of the well or something!" You exclaimed.

"Okay well you know what I didn't do that!" JJ yelled, standing up. You gasped at the big purple bruises and welts all over his body. You immediately knew they were from his father so you tried to say something but just he ignored it and kept going. "I got a hot tub. I got a hot tub for my friends...no, you know what? Screw that! I got a hot tub for my family! Alright? I mean look at this. I got this for you! For us!"

"JJ...," Your voice caught in your throat as you reached toward toward him slowly.

"No, just stop being emotional! It's fine, okay?!" he snapped, slightly hysterical now, raising his hand in the stop gesture.

JJ tried to keep going on about the hot tub but you were already in motion. You climbed in fully clothed and pulled him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around you as he broke down crying into your shoulder.

"I can't take it anymore!" he cried out desperately.

"I know, baby, I know. I'm so sorry," you murmured through your own tears as you hugged him.

"I just wanna do the right thing..." he mumbled sadly.

"I know," You repeated quietly, "It's gonna be okay."

You both stood there holding each other and crying for a long time. You placed soft reassuring kisses on his head as you brushed your fingers through his hair and rubbed his back.

When you both finally pulled apart, he asked you to stay in the hot tub with him and you obliged.

You always wore a bikini under your clothes since you lived on an island, so you just threw your shorts, shoes and top on the grass nearby and sunk into the water next to him. You sighed as the heated, bubbling water enveloped your body. JJ offered you a glass of champagne and you accepted. You both just relaxed for awhile, sipping alcohol and talking.

"Th-thank you," he said quietly, out of nowhere.

"For what?" You asked, confused.

"For the hug. For being here. For understanding. Shit, for everything." JJ answered, looking like he was contemplating something.

"Awe, JJ-"

"I love you." He stated suddenly.

You froze. "What?"

He fidgeted nervously for a bit before taking a deep breath.

"I love you, Y/N. As in, like, I'm in love with you. I always have been. But you've always been way outta my league so I didn't think you'd like me back and then we made the stupid fucking no pogue on pogue macking rule so I had to pretend like you're just a friend to me. Just one of the guys. But you're not. You're everything to me. I mean, god, Y/N, you're fucking amazing and I-I just- I don't know what I would do without you. I love you so fucking much. I'm sorry if this ruins everything but I need you to know." He rambled, trailing off at the end.

You sat there in shock for a minute. You had to be dreaming. There was no way JJ Maybank just said those words for real. You had imagined this moment a million times but you never thought it would actually happen.

But here you were.

As you gazed into his gorgeous ocean blue eyes, you saw that he was completely serious. You'd always had a knack for knowing whenever he was lying and right now you could tell he was not.

And you were not prepared for the onslaught of feelings that hit you all at once. You couldn't even form words.

So you did the only thing you could think of to do.

You grabbed JJ's face, being careful of his injuries of course, and pressed your lips to his.

JJ almost immediately responded, wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you closer and deepening the kiss. You snaked your fingers into his hair which illicited a small moan from him as the kiss became more passionate.

You knew JJ had a reputation for being a good kisser but you had no idea he was THIS good. This was easily the most amazing kiss you had ever experienced, and you lost yourself in it. You couldn't think. All you could do was feel his soft, perfect lips, which tasted absolutely delicious, against yours.

He expertly brushed his tongue across your bottom lip and then against your own tongue, battling for dominance and winning quickly.

After a while, you both pulled away breathing heavily and he pressed his forehead to yours. You lowered your hands to rest on his shoulders.

JJ met your eyes, panting a little bit and slowly breaking into a smile. "Sooo I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that this, plus the fact that you called me baby earlier means you do, in fact, like me back."

You giggled at him and nodded, still trying to catch your breath. He smiled wider and stared into your eyes for a moment.

"Can you say it?" he asked tentatively.

"What?" you replied, confused.

He looked down for a second. "I mean...I don't want to force you to say the words if you're not ready...but if you are ready...I wanna hear you say it. I don't know why...I just feel like I need to hear it."

Damn it, you just wanted to throw JJ's dad right off a cliff, along with anybody else who ever made him feel unwanted and unloved. Because he deserved the whole world and did not deserve the shitty way he had been treated his whole life. It was so messed up and unfair. He deserved to be told he was loved every minute of every day.

You brought a hand to his face and he leaned into it subconsciously.

"I love you too, JJ Maybank, more than words can describe. I'm sorry I never told you before. I pretty much had the same reasons as you. Stupid pogue rules and thinking you'd never feel the same way when you could have literally any other girl on the island, except maybe Kie and Sarah," You told him.

His face lit up like a christmas tree and it was honestly the cutest thing ever.

"Well, maybe, but I don't want any other girl on the island. I want you, Y/N, and only you," JJ said, brushing your hair out of your face and kissing you again.

You both melted into the kiss and then it slowly became more heated, more needy. You moved your arms up around JJ's neck and tangled your fingers in his hair again as you straddled his lap. He slid his hands up and down your back and sides, squeezing your hips and then your ass. You moaned softly and involuntarily grinded against his already hardening groin.

JJ groaned and pulled away from your lips for a second. "Mmm, okay, hold up. Is this really about to go where I think it's going? Because as much as I want to go there with you, we don't have to if you aren't ready yet. I know you've been hurt before, and I want you to feel comfortable, you know? Not feel like you have to do anything just to appease me."

"It's okay. I want this, JJ. I want you. And I want to make you feel something good after everything you've been through today," You said reassuringly as you leaned in toward his lips, "I want you to feel how much I love you."

That was all JJ needed. He closed the short distance between your lips and went back to exploring your body with his hands. He began trailing kisses from your mouth down to the base of your throat as he untied your bikini top and tossed it somewhere off into John B's yard. He sucked on the sweet spot on your neck, biting down just enough to drive you crazy, while his hands made their way to your boobs and massaged them.

"JJ..." You moaned, gripping the back of his neck and hair.

He grinned against your skin, continuing kissing down to your chest until his mouth found each of your nipples. He sucked on them both in turn, enjoying the sounds this caused you to make. Then he made his way back up to your lips and devoured them with one of his hands on your waist and the other sliding into your swimsuit bottoms. He rubbed slow circles around your clit for a good amount of time and then slid a finger inside you.

"Fuck, JJ...," You moaned loudly against his lips as he pumped his finger in and out of you.

"Mmm, you like that baby?" he murmured back, adding a finger and speeding up a bit.

"Oh y-yes," You managed to say, biting his lip as you kissed him and pressing yourself against his hand.

JJ groaned into your mouth, removing his hand from your center. Before you could protest, he deftly untied your swimsuit bottoms, threw them out of the hot tub and then kicked off his swim shorts. He lined himself up with your entrance and thrust up into you.

"Ohh my god, Y/N," JJ moaned into your shoulder breathily.

"Fuck, JJ," you moaned, adjusting to his size. He wasn't huge but he was definitely bigger than you were used to.

You basked in how amazing JJ felt as you started moving up and down, which prompted him to start thrusting in and out of you in sync with your movements. He eventually began thrusting a little faster and harder, which provoked more moans from both you.

The feeling of JJ's lips and fingers on your skin as you rode him was like nothing you felt before. You'd slept with other people, and so had he obviously, but everyone else was too rough, grabby and too focused on getting what they wanted out of the deal. JJ, however, worshipped your body like a goddess and every touch sent shock waves through your core. The hot water also made everything that much more intense. You began moving your own lips, tongue and hands over every inch of his tanned skin you could reach, softly kissing each bruise and mark that you found, slowly moving up his chest to his face and then kissing, sucking, and nibbling down his jawline to his neck. That must have been his sweet spot as well.

"Fuuck, Y/N," He growled, tightening his grip on you and thrusting even faster and harder into you.

Holy shit. That growl was probably the hottest thing you'd ever heard and it set you off in a whole new way.

"Ohhhh!" you moaned, feeling the build up to your climax burning inside you. "Fuck, JJ, I'm gonna-"

"Oh god me too," he captured your lips with his again as he sped up further.

This was enough to send you over the edge.

"JJ!" You cried out as your inner walls clenched around him and you came undone.

"Oh FUCK Y/N!" JJ nearly yelled, finding his euphoria a second later.

"Wow," you both said, out of breath, as you collapsed on him gently.

He just held you, basking in the moment as you both came down from your high.

Once you both had the energy to move, JJ helped you out of the hot tub and you both went inside. You got cleaned up and then he put on a pair of clean sweatpants, not bothering with a shirt. You, having realized most of your clothes that you kept at the Chateau were dirty, ended up just putting on one of JJ's tshirts and a pair of underwear. You climbed into his bed and snuggled into his waiting embrace.

"So does this mean you're my girl now?" JJ asked sleepily.

"Oh no I thought confessing our undying love to each other and consumating it in a hot tub were things only friends did," You said sarcastically, giggling. "No shit, sherlock. Of course I'm yours."

"Okay sorry!"JJ laughed,"I was just clarifying to make sure, geez. Also how are we gonna tell the pogues? 'Cause, I mean, you realize they're gonna freak, right?"

"I know," you said as you kissed him, "We'll figure it out, but right now I just wanna sleep, okay? I love you."

He nodded and smiled as he kissed you back, "Kay. I love you too."

JJ pulled the the covers over you both and you fell asleep with your head on his chest and his arms around you.

And it was the best sleep either of you ever had.

Behind the Playlist - Transformers: Prime Edition (Part 7 of 22: Cliffjumper)

Link to the other posts in my Behind the Playlist series

✧ ✧ ✧

Cliffjumper’s playlist is one of two that I decided to organize in “story order”. Since so little of him was seen in TFP, I thought I’d be a good idea to do things that way. Enjoy the musical ride from first meeting to tragic end. Or don’t. Or maybe both.

Intended overarching themes and/or qualities: Carefree, Vibrant, Gone in a flash

My personal favorite(s) from this playlist: I Ain’t Worried, Amor, and The Wings That Carried Me Home

✧ ✧ ✧

Full song list and explanations under the cut:

Give Me Something Good by WAR*HALL

When we were first introduced to Cliffjumper, he came across as a bit of a thrill-seeker and an overall fun-loving guy. This is a good song that matches that aspect of his character.

Real Good Feeling by Oh The Larceny

Same idea as the first song.

I Ain’t Worried by OneRepublic

And again. Honestly, I went by overall vibes on Cliffjumper’s playlist more than the previous ones.

Now’s My Time by Valley Of Wolves

“There may be mountains or hills to climb / But It's now or never to win this fight / I gotta win this fight

Gonna face the music before I lose it / And I gotta do this while I'm alive / Gonna face the music It's time to prove it / I'm making history while I'm alive / Cuz now's my time / Now's my time”

Cliffjumper strikes me as the sort of bot who made any victory or adventure of his seem like a pivotal moment in history. So even though he didn’t exactly get the chance to make history in the way the rest of the team did, he probably had one heck of a time living his life as if he had been doing so all along.

Born Again by Wholm, Cageman, Michael Shynes

From Cliffjumper to Arcee: Let me in. I’m just as terrified of this crazy life of war as you are. I just happen to cope differently. It’s still better to go through it with a friend.

Amor by Ikson

The vibes.

Ruby by Jim Yosef, Alex Skrindo

Rubies are red. Cliffjumper was red. I think the song cover and the tune go well with him.

Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts

It’s so Cliffjumper. At least, I think it is.

I’m Born To Run by American Authors

“I'm gonna live my life, like I'm gonna die young / Like it's never enough, like I'm born to run / I'm gonna spend my time, like tomorrow won't come / Do whatever I want, like I'm born to run”

Yeah, you go do that, Cliff. Your time will be up before you know it. In retrospect, at least you were brave enough to hold onto your fun-loving nature until the end.

Die For You by VALORANT, Grabbitz

“Time slows down when it can get no worse / I can feel it running out on me / I don't want these to be my last words / All forgotten 'cause that's all they'll be

Now there's only one thing I can do / Fight until the end like I promised to / Wishing there was something left to lose / This could be the day I die for you”

Yes, Cliff. Yes, it could be the day. Actually, it was. You did. And it was sad.

Cruel World by Tommee Profitt, Sam Tinnesz

The title says it all.

Casualty Of War by Brian Tyler

No words. Just sadness.

The Wings That Carried Me Home by Skyline Drive, Narrow Skies

Rest in peace, Cliffjumper. Optimus, the other bots of Team Prime, and a small group of humans you never got to meet made sure your sacrifice was not in vain.

✧ ✧ ✧

Notes:

This post series is in alphabetical order. Next up are Dreadwing and Jack Darby.

As I add more songs to the playlist, I’ll update this post.

Song: I won't let go [Rascal Flatts]

#vm #hearthacker

[starhoppin]

pick a picture; your relationship dynamic with your future spouse

pile 1 -> pile 2 -> pile 3

disclaimer; this is a general reading! these messages may not fit everyone. please take what resonates and leave the rest.

「 pile one 」

ace of wands (cb: the star rv), the moon rv (cb: ten of cups rv), queen of swords (cb: knight of cups rv, five of pentacles)

i immediately heard "no secrets" - your future spouse really emphasizes healthy communication. this person will be open about their past, but it's phrased in a way where they're like "nothing compares to you." they believed that the people they dated before you weren't the right one but they were essentially building blocks in order to mold them into the best spouse they could be for you. i'm hearing the song "bless the broken road" by rascal flatts, specifically the lyrics "every long lost dream led me to where you are. others who broke my heart; they were like northern stars, pointing me on my way into your loving arms." one particular dynamic that is being emphasized is you might be a planner, while they're more action-oriented. they're the adventurous sort and will "drag" you out of your comfort zone - that is the exact term i heard for some reason. your dynamic might have a peter pan and wendy vibe; one is a bit cautious, and the other is all about spontaneous adventures. i heard "yin and yang" so your dynamic could definitely be opposites attract. you may be more inclined to think with your head, but they think with their heart. you find solace in one another despite your differences. extra message: "second star to the right, and straight on till morning"

「 pile two 」

the tower (cb: ace of pentacles, king of wands), the empress rv (knight of pentacles, knight of wands rv), three of swords rv (page of pentacles rv, eight of cups)

your connection with your future spouse is going to be very healing. they're emphasizing safety and comfort. your dynamic with your future spouse is that you're each other's rock. this person will shelter you from the storm of life and you will give each other solace from the hardships that you've endured. i heard the song "save you tonight" by 1d, specifically the lyrics "i can't be no superman, but for you i'll be superhuman." this person shows up as both the king and knight of wands as well as the knight of pentacles so they want to provide passion and excitement in your life whilst also being someone you can lean on. in your dynamic, your future spouse will show you how much they love you every day. your future spouse is willing to shoulder your past burdens as their own. they want to prove that you're never alone in your struggles nor will they let you be harmed, not when they're around. you can trust them with your heart. your dynamic may be similar to that of peter parker and mj. the first image that popped into my mind was the interactions between tom holland's peter parker and zendaya's mj in the newer spiderman films. but in terms of your relationship, i saw the scene from andrew garfield's peter parker where he climbs through mj's window after a fight and she helps patch him up. it's like your future spouse will shoulder all the burdens and take the brunt of the hardships in your life, but you'll be there to take care of them.

「 pile three 」

queen of cups (cb: the moon, page of cups), king of swords rv (cb: ace of cups, the lovers), ace of wands (cb: two of cups, eight of swords rv)

i immediately heard the grumpy/sunshine dynamic. this doesn't mean that this person is actually grumpy; rather, they come across as more stoic and less open towards other people when compared to you. but when it comes to your relationship, you melt your future spouse's heart instantly. something about your demeanor or personality immediately intrigues your future spouse and they won't rest until they get to know you. this person may not appear the most romantic - particularly from your first impression of them - but they will adore you, pile three. i cannot emphasize that enough. they're showing up with the ace of cups and the lovers so they immediately know that you're end-game for them. your connection will be incredibly fulfilling and balanced. you will encourage each other to grow and evolve into the best people you can possibly be. there will be a lot of passion as well as love between you two. the two of cups in this deck shows a pearl inside a clam shell and that's exactly how they'll feel about you; this person treasures you. you're their little pearl. this person is so sweet - i literally heard them say "i wanna keep you in my pocket."
