why do we have hands?
Tumblr media
alt title: why do we have hands? (aventurine's version)
a/n: that one meme thingy idk how to describe it but hopefully u get the reference 🤞 uh there is like a good 40 days plus(?) until MY MAN COMES HOME live laugh love aventurine ,, also might possibly make dr ratio's version of this idk hes growing on me okay ,, who r we kidding I AM DOWN BAD FOR HIM AS WELL
Tumblr media
why do we have hands? there are many reasons.
Tumblr media
to pat the aventurine.
when aventurine is not at work or he doesn’t feel like gambling for the day, his usual frivolous and fairly confident persona slips away. instead, he turns into this lazy cat-like person with the way he curls up beside you on the couch, head on your lap and face buried in your stomach. he doesn’t say much (how can he? he’s literally in dreamland right now). however, he asks you of one thing; please do not stop running your fingers through his hair. it doesn’t matter if he’s already snoring away, never take your hands off his head. you need to use your phone with two hands? well, too bad ‘cause now you have to type with one hand for the next three hours. 
Tumblr media
to hold the aventurine.
aventurine has to travel a lot for his work. typically, his business trips would lasts between four days or two weeks. but this one is just taking too much of his time. it has been four months, two weeks, six days and seventeen hours since he last saw you. the phone calls and texts doesn’t do your presence any justice. aventurine’s pretty sure he’s slowly going insane and another minute without you will might as well be his 13th reason. so what does he do the moment he kicks down the door of your shared home? drags you to bed and drops all of his weight on you. he sighs and relaxes, the tension leaving his body when he feels you wrap your arms around him.
Tumblr media
to cherish the aventurine.
with no work on his itinerary, aventurine wakes up early and gets out of bed before you. he then sneaks away to the kitchen after fixing the blanket around you and leaving a lingering kiss on your forehead. an hour later, as he’s waiting for the coffee, he feels your cheek against his shoulder, soft voice of yours mumbling a morning greeting. a nice breakfast is already set up on the table. as he’s pouring the coffee to your respective mugs, aventurine hums in content as you went to peck his cheek in gratitude (“thanks for breakfast.”)
Tumblr media
to forfeit all mortal possessions to aventurine.
it’s either he’s really skilled in gambling or he’s just got an insane amount of luck but aventurine tends to win most poker games he participates in. that being said, his bank account is loaded. he doesn’t have to worry about spending too much, he can practically buy you anything you’d want without looking at the price tags. but when it comes to you buying him something, aventurine becomes speechless. he just stares and stands, not knowing what to do or say, as you hand him a trinket you bought after it reminded you of him. this happens every time you come home from an errand. it has reached the point where he has to tell you that yes, he likes and appreciates all the gifts you give, but please stop spending your money because he’s the one who should be spoiling you and not the other way around.

Tumblr media
Lee Heeseung | 이희승
heeseung really loved it whenever you came backstage with them during promotions
it wasn’t something unusual though, since you were one of their stylists
but apart from preparing his makeup, you had to sometimes take care of the others
which well, he didn’t really enjoy watching
no matter how many times it happened he just couldn’t get used to it, especially today when you had to do pretty detailed makeup for jay
“Can you hold your head straight? I’m begging you Heeseung,” one of the stylists sighed countless time and just forcefully made him face the mirror and not the two of you.
He huffed and tried to watch you in the reflection of the mirror but to his dissatisfaction, you were completely out of sight.
“Open your eyes now for me,” you asked Jay, completely unaware of the simmering with jealousy boyfriend who maybe didn’t see everything, but he could hear everything.
His stylist went to grab another brush was his cue to grab a chance and take a look at the situation to his left. The view made him open his mouth slightly and furrowed his brows.
“Maybe just sit on his lap, wouldn’t it be easier that way?” he blundered out, making you stop and finally realize what your boyfriend has been going through.
You covered your mouth, in an attempt to suppress your laugh.
“You think that’s funny?” he mumbled under his nose, not completely aware of two hair rollers on his bangs that made him look rather hilarious.
“Kinda, yeah.” Your voice came out muffled.
He wanted to argue more, but he got interrupted, by his poor stylist, who now didn’t waste time to ask him, but just forcefully moved his head, saving you from another nag.
Park Jongseong | 박종성
let’s just say you shouldn’t have covered heeseung when you spotted him napping
poor boy got woken up by jay snatching it from his body
too confused to ask questions he thankfully just got on his side and continued sleeping
while jay stood still with the said blanket in his hand
giving you one of those disappointed looks
“How about you cover your boyfriend when he’s taking his nap?” he asked, tilting his head to the side.
“Babe, you’re going to wake him up,” you reasoned and brought your pointer finger to your lips.
“I don’t care, why do you do?” he said even a bit louder and quicker.
He would look intimidating with the way his jaw got tense and palms squeezed in fists, if not for the pout on his lips. You couldn’t help but smile while taking a few steps to get closer to him.
“You’re so cute when you’re jealous,” you mumbled against his lips before planting a soft peck on them.
His brows raised. “Me? Jealous?” He pointed at his chest with his pointer finger. Nodding you noticed a pair of eyes watching you from the couch.
“That was so disgusting,” said Heeseung, clearly awake now and disgusted from your mushy moment.
Sim Jaeyun | 심재윤
the moment he saw you talk with felix and chan he was so happy
he really wanted you to meet them and get along
but ig he didn’t expect you to get so close in just one gathering??
unfortunately for you (and him) he’s a pouty jelly bf
so the moment it was just the two of you he asked you an unreasonable amount of questions
“Do you like Felix more than me?” You could swear he was just on the other side of your living room yet he somehow teleported next to you causing a mini heart attack.
“What? No, of course not,” you said confused, scanning his sad eyes and pouty lips.
“How about Chan? Do you think I should work out more?” he continued his interrogation with you.
A smile crept to your lips watching his manic state, but you finally had to stop this madness. Cupping his cheeks managed to make him shut his mouth and finally look at you after minutes of him avoiding your gaze.
“I’m overreacting, right?” He bit his lower lip and smiled sheepishly.
“Maybe a little,” you chuckled and gave him a quick peck. “You have nothing to worry about, though. I don’t want them, because they’re not you.”
Park Sunghoon | 박성훈
now you would definitely know when his feeling jealous by his unusual silence at home
not even your lame jokes would make him utter a word
and today you completely crossed the line by borrowing a hoodie from sunoo
tbh you knew that he would react like this but c’mon
at least you had an excuse to cling to him even more, as an apology
Sunghoon brushed past you coolly for the nth time that evening, this time nonchalantly taking a juice from the fridge you were currently rummaging through. You followed with your eyes his silhouette and scanned his features — nose raised high and adamant look typical for his jealousy now decorated his whole demeanor.
“So you’re really jealous about that hoodie.” You closed the fridge and leaned on the kitchen island.
He slowly turned his head to face you, still unimpressed. “No,” he answered shortly.
“So you are!” You poked his side and he glared at you. Before he could say something you already climbed on your toes to plant multiple kisses on his jaw, cheeks, and finally lips. “Nah, you’re not going to bribe me with kisses,” he shook his head after you were done.
“You didn’t oppose it though.” You smiled triumphantly, making him roll his eyes.
“I just don’t understand why you didn’t ask me, your boyfriend, to lend you a hoodie. You know I have plenty of them since you’re constantly cold, yet you asked none other but him…”
Kim Sunoo | 김선우
he really rarely gets jealous, though there are times he just breaks
massages his temples and sighs, doesn’t matter if you do this on purpose
unfortunately (for him) you manage to make him lose his cool with a huge success
“what about me???”
It wasn’t the first time Sunoo recommended a drama, but your excitement and investment in new episodes were definitely higher than usual. And he couldn’t blame you, who wouldn’t fall for Nam Joo-hyuk? However, your obsession started to concern him, leading to his jealousy. But you skipping edits of your own boyfriend only to watch edits of your new favourite actor was the complete crossing of boundaries.
“What are you watching?” Sunoo said snatching your phone and throwing it on the other side of the couch. You opened your eyes wide in shock and somehow managed to not throw hands at him.
“Sun, that was very important!” You tried to get it back but he stopped you.
“You must’ve lost your mind to think he is more important than your boyfriend! Hello? I’m right here!” He argued, holding your phone as far away as he could, while you fought for your life and wellbeing.
“If you saw that edit you would understand!” You tried to bribe him.
“I’m sure engenes edits are much better. Or my fancams. Anything!”
Yang Jungwon | 양정원
now it’s not easy to either make jungwon lose his patience or get jealous
but when he is he rather communicates it with you
telling you he didn’t appreciate the way you ignored him and just talked to heeseung
or how you showed your soft spot for riki and not him (honestly how could you?)
though he has one (1) weak spot which is sleeping on the shoulder of somebody who isn’t him
Jungwon tried really hard not to glare at Sunoo, though it was much harder said than done. You were peacefully sleeping, and after eight long hours of running errands, you just dozed off on his shoulder.
Why couldn’t you just wait a second for him to come back from the bathroom? He left you for not even 5 minutes yet you managed to drift away.
“Are you comfortable?” he suddenly asked, a little too loud.
Sunoo frowned and held his pointer finger against his lips. “You’re going to wake them up. And yes, I am. Thank you for your concern,” he replied and continued scrolling social media.
Jungwon pursed his lips in a thin line, knowing there was only one last thing he could do. “You know she’s sometimes drooling in her sleep, right?”
His question made Sunoo look up, first, he glanced at Jungwon then at you. “Y/n? You can now lean on your boyfriend.” Poor boy got scared of a pool of saliva potentialy forming on his jacket and quickly woke you up.
Confused you looked around and smiled at the view of Jungwon, unaware of his blatant lie continued to slumber now on his shoulder.
Nishimura Riki | 西村力
THIS BABEYY
pouts, sulking and crossing his arms were the main indicators of his jealousy usually caused by you daring to laugh at sunghoon’s jokes
they’re not even that funny? his jokes are way funnier than any of them
multiple sighs and clearing throat interrupted his every word now, all of this accompanied by his intense glares
talk about being petty and sassy
He knew what awaited him the moment he heard your laughter through the door to their dance practice room. Rolling his eyes he walked in nonchalantly, lowkey expecting you to stop but you dared to continue to be in convulsions. Tears ran down your cheeks as your hands grabbed your stomach.
“I can’t!” you managed to utter through giggles, unable to catch your breath properly.
Riki watched you carefully, waiting for you to finally acknowledge his presence. Finally, he cleared his throat, gaining your and the rest of his members’ attention.
“Hi baby,” you said, leaning on his shoulder. He usually would lay his head on top of yours yet he didn’t, making you sit straight. What hit you instantly was his visible pout. “Oh, you’re sulking?”
“I’m not,” he mumbled, but his pout sold him out.
“Ohh, somebody’s jelly!” Jake pointed to him causing a fit of laughter and the teasing began.

Daddy/Dearest (Wade Wilson x M!Reader)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Wade Wilson/Deadpool x Alien!Cis!M!Reader  Rating: Mature (lowest I can go with a Deadpool fic) Words: 1048 POV: Third Summary: You matched with Deadpool on the intergalactic dating app Starcrossed. After exchanging many dick pics, you decided to visit Earth for your first date... and blow the planet up if the date sucked. Note: Inspired by the song Party Tonight by Joe Hedourix and this prompt. Tags: first date, fluff, idk who Nick Fury really is tbh, 4th wall breaks, romcom and reader’s appearance is a little vague but at some point I started imagining Megamind
“Deadpool! Open up!” Wade groaned at the insistent knocking on his door. He tried to rub his eyes, only to find out that he was still wearing his mask. A quick look down revealed he had fallen asleep on the couch in his PJs. The knocking at his door stopped, so he rested his body on the couch. He had barely closed his eyes, when the door was knocked down. 
He raised his head with a groan, only to be incredibly surprised by his guest. “Wow, Nick Fury, I am not sure if I am even supposed to know who you are, because the writer has seen exactly one movie in which you had a cat, but he supposes you’re an important dude or whatever.” 
“Shut it, motherfucker,” the man wearing a black trenchcoat barked back at Wade. He clearly took note of the dirty white shirt with a butt on it and the blue chequered underwear Wade was wearing, but he did not comment on it. “Do you know the app Starcrossed?” 
Wade laughed, not reading the room that had been filled with armoured men and women because we are inclusive here and women can and will kick your ass if provoked. 
“That app with all the metas on it? Why? Did we match? I’m sorry if I did not reply, but you’re not really my type and you must have been an accidental swipe.” 
“Stop yapping! Does this guy look familiar to you?” From his pocket he unfolded a picture printed on an A4 paper. Wade leaned in and squinted at the picture. He did recognise the person on it. 
“Oh yes that’s my daddy - not my father - but like a sexual daddy you know. You should see his dick.” Nick looked like he was gonna lose it. Wade could tell, but he frankly did not give a shit. 
“Well, your ‘daddy’ is the leader of an alien race, whose armada is in orbit right now to drop him off for a ‘date’ with you. So get dressed, because whether we get blown up or not today is apparently up to you.” That was a lot to take in, but Wade was used to weird days and this was simply just another one of them. 
Now it was common to be nervous for a first date, but the fully armed SWAT team dropping Wade off was not helping. He tried making conversation with them, but they seemed to blame him for possible annihilation before dinner time. 
When he stepped out of the chopper, there was a masculine figure waiting in front of the former military base. He held a large bouquet of iridescent flowers. They seemed either fake or from an alien planet. “Wadey!” The figure called out, waving frantically with all hands that were not holding the bouquet. The inhuman coloured skin seemed to change colour wherever the late morning sun was directly shining on it. 
“Hi daddy,” Wade called back in the same cooing tone. He skipped over to his date. “Are those for me?” He mused, knowing the answer as his date handed them to him. 
“I heard flowers are quite common to bring to a Terran date, so I brought some rare flowers from my planet for you. I am afraid they will not survive as long as they would on my planet though. The sun here is weak.” Wade smelled the flowers. They smelled like butt. Could be worse. At least Wade was familiar with the smell of butt. Wade held the flowers close as he thanked the other for them. “Well then, shall we? Your government was so kind to help me set up an Earth-date.” 
The atmosphere was… weird. There was a very extensive brunch on a beautifully decorated table, but they were surrounded by people keeping them at gunpoint. “You don’t seem bothered by being held at gunpoint,” Wade noted as he rolled up his mask just far enough to shove a croissant into his mouth. 
“Likewise,” his date smirked back at him. He reached out and touched the edges of the mask. “Come on, I already know your dick and ass are covered in scars. Your face cannot possibly scare me.” Wade thought about it. Well, his identity was not really a secret right now anyway. They already knew where he lived. Wade lifted his mask off his face, trying to not show how insecure he was about his fucked up face. However, when he looked at the alien before him, he swore he could see a hunger in his eyes. “If these people were not around, I would fuck your face right now,” the man sighed dreamily, before continuing to clumsily trying to spread butter on a piece of toast. 
Wade reached out and decided to help him. Their fingers briefly touched and Wade saw the other man smile at the contact. It set his body on fire with desire. “I frankly don’t care about the audience, but after writing all those kinktober fics the writer can really use a break from blowjob scenes, so let’s keep this from being E-rated.”
Wade sat back down after buttering his date’s toast. He watched as the alien’s facial features reacted to the taste of Earth food. “Fascinating,” he spoke softly. Wade chatted with his date and those mesmerising eyes and charming smile kept drawing him in. At some point he was sure even Nick Fury could smell his arousal from wherever he was keeping an eye on the situation. There was no more food left, when his date rose from his seat and offered one of his hands. “Let’s get out of here.” 
Wade grabbed his mask and put it back on. “We’ll have to fight our way out of here if we want to do that.” A corona of blue light started surrounding the alien, a devilish smile appearing on his face. The sudden display of power got people loading their guns and Wade’s gun filling up with blood really quickly. 
“Do not worry, dearest, that can be arranged,” the most powerful being that had ever held him spoke, before he blasted a hole in the line of armed people, lighting the way to their future in a flurry of blue. “Let’s have a good time, dearest.”

Talking about Vivziepops' weird art of minors
I've never been the biggest fan of Vivziepop, I've always knew about their weird behavior (since like 2018 ~ 2019) before they were as popular as they are now.
She has done a lot of weird stuff but the thing I mainly wanna focus on in this post is their character Addison. Addison is a 17 year old gay effeminate fox humanoid from Zoophobia, he's in a relationship with a 19 year old Teacher's assistant named Gustav. Many people get confused by this but Addison has been CONFIRMED to be 17 years old by Vivziepop. Someone had changed Addison's Fandom Wiki page back in 2019 to say they're 18, when this is not true, Vivzie has confirmed they're 17. I did go back and change the age to 17 on the Wiki with the correct age in hopes that people stop believing incorrect information.
Vivzie confirming their age: https://twitter.com/vivziepop/status/1128064633166712832
Tumblr media
The tags in this post brings up the fact that Addison is nearly 18 - not 18 yet - They're still 17.
Tumblr media
Edit: Oh yeah, I want to add on context to this tag: "I should mention the characters canon ages are higher then when I first made them because as I wrote the story any big age gaps were uncomfy"
I've heard multiple older fans of Vivziepop say that Addison was originally meant to be 14-15 years old, and I've heard that Gustav was originally meant to be in his 30s.
Addison was created 2010, She began shipping Gustav with Addison in 2011, and Zoophobia began in 2012. So the fact she shipped a 14-15 year old character with a 30 year old one to begin with, and encouraged her friend to draw intense NSFW art of them together is so.. weird.
Anyways, Vivzie also hints at Addison being a minor, using wording indicating how young they are in age in their Blogpost introducing the character
"I finally created a few concepts, but the one I have been toying with the most is a young character much like Gale. An albino boy, with an identical albino sister"
If you need more proof, Addison is also preyed on by Mirage, a character that SPECIFICALLY goes after minors... that's basically her main personality trait, that she's a p3d0. She goes after Addison because he's a young submissive boy and easy to manipulate.
Anyways, back on topic. I personally I don't see anything wrong with the age gap of 17 & 19, however I do think it's weird to have this relationship between Addison and Gustav.. he's not exactly a teacher, but he still holds power over Addison due to the fact he's the voluntary teacher's assistant. Back when Zoophobia was popular there were people who found this dynamic weird & creepy considering the fact that Addison is basically a student under Gustav. Also, I just wanna bring this up because I find this weird, Gustav was originally under the impression that Addison was a year one student and much younger than he actually is, yet he still tried to flirt with him.. erm..? Yeah..
Tumblr media
Anyways, that isn't the main point. The point is that Vivzie DREW NSFW OF HER 17 YEAR OLD CHARACTER AND HIS 19 YEAR OLD TEACHER... erm.. holy cracker balls? Literally how can anyone excuse these?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vivzie also drew Gore of Addison too, but I won't post it here cus it's very graphic and weird and idk why she drew it!!
And .. possibly the worst drawing of them all.. Holy titties what is this... If you're wondering, the stuff under the censors is ACTUAL NSFW. It's not suggestive, or implied s3x, It's their ACTUAL WEE WEEs.
Tumblr media
These accounts are poorly archived, so it's hard to find the original post and what it originally said. However after some digging I was able to find out the original text said
“ dollcreep: “ i can only see ‘dark-Günter’ exposing him and addi to a public area like so…so. yeah. Günter says; merry Christmas. god this question is super old. vivz reminded me about it"
So, I'm assuming that Dollcreep drew this, not Vivzie. However I was also able to find out from the limited resources there is that Vivzie reposted this to her accounts Vivzie-zp (unarchived) and ZPanswers, which are also now deleted, but if you view the accounts tumblr archives over the Wayback machine you can see that she did indeed repost this. http://web.archive.org/web/20120801182958/http://zpanswers.tumblr.com/archive
If you don't know, Dollcreep and Vivzie used to be best friends, however aren't anymore. Dollcreep originally designed Gustav, originally named Gunter, and Vivzie bought the design from them. Vivzie designed Addison back around 2010, and taking into account the old caption, this means that Vivzie.. allowed Dollcreep to draw NSFW art of their underaged character ;-; oh my gawd!!! Whatthe heck guys... like I said at this time Addison was still 14 - 15 and Gustav (Gunter) was in his 30s.
Also I want to mention that this drawing was from 2011, so that means Vivzie had this pedophilic ship with Dollcreeps OC for years, & after she bought the rights to the character she decided to.. keep the pedophilic ship and write it into Zoophobia by making him Addisons teacher. That's crazy..?
Anyways, because I brought up Mirage. Mirage is written pretty bad. She was a character meant to be in.. or scrapped from Zoophobia, she was meant to be a villain who preyed on the kids, mainly Addison. Her main trait is that she likes kids
Tumblr media
Vivzie's made a bunch of drawings of Mirage preying on kids which I think is pretty weird, especially considering how poorly some of them represent it and make it seem like a joke instead.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and yeah, we all know about this infamous drawing she made of Mirage preying on Kestrel, a 14 year old. Pretty weird
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also when I looked at the web archive of Vivzie's ZPanswers blog (a Zoophobia ask blog) she accepted many weird asks about Kestrel, 14, and Addison, 17, like an ask asking if Kestrel had ever been fucked by a horse & how Kestrel, Addison & others would act when they were drunk. Which is also pretty weird to me I won't lie
Anyways that's all for now. Sorry if this is all over the place its 4am and I just wanted to get my thoughts out that vivziepop is kinda a weirdo

cw/tags: fake dating/pretend relationship, past relationship (with noah), angstish, all around fluff, kissing lol, 18+ minors do not interact
The buzz of your phone broke you out of your trance, eyes darting from the computer down to your cell phone. You were so caught up in your work that you barely even paid attention to it, but these days you weren't getting many messages from anyone besides your friends.
everything alright? 
You freeze, eyes scanning over your screen. You looked up from your desk and around the room, seeing your coworkers in their own world, before reaching for your phone. You stared at the text from Nicholas.
Why was he texting you? You're sure Noah's already told him what happened. There wasn't a reason for him to be texting you, anyways. Sure, you had gotten along whenever you'd come over to see Noah, and maybe you'd consider him a friend at one point, seeing as he has your number, but he was Noah's friend first. Best friend. Shouldn't it be a part of Bro Code or something to not reach out to your best friends ex?
You frown as another text comes through.
haven't heard from you in awhile.
has he not told you we broke up lol?
Just the thought of Noah made your stomach turn and you sat your phone back down on your desk, a sigh leaving you. It's been about two months since you and Noah had broken up. It was a 6 month situationship at best, according to Noah, but you had figured it was moving towards something more serious. Especially when you both stopped seeing other people. Guess you thought wrong.
You peer over at your phone as it buzzes again.
no, he told me. just wanted to check in because we haven't spoken lol 
i thought we were friends 😭
...that was a joke, by the way. you're not obligated to tell me anything ofc but i did think we were friends. lol
Your brows raise at that and you quickly reach for your phone again, thumbs moving across the screen.
you still consider us friends?
The typing bubble pops up immediately.
of course? 
even after your best friend broke up with me?
...are we supposed to stop being friends just because of noah?
idk
isn't it like bro code or something?
LMFAO i don't think so? 
i mean. you guys weren't that serious, right? i think this is different.
Ouch, you think, brows furrowing.
i thought we were getting serious but. lol. guess not.
really? 
yeah. i wasn't seeing anyone else, and neither was he. i thought it was *exclusive* or whatever.
noah obviously didn't think so lmfao
it was just fucking frustrating because i really liked him. and thought it could be something, you know?
You press send without thinking, heart thudding against your chest once you realize it went through. Complaining to Nicholas about his own best friend is probably not the best thing to do, you realize, and you text him again.
sorry. You‘re literally his friend, i should not be complaining to you lol.
don’t apologize. i don’t mind you talking about it.
tbh i figured he did something along those lines. it’s not at all surprising.
You stare at your phone, brows furrowing at Nicholas' text. What did he mean by that? And… Was he agreeing with you? That was odd, and something inside of you turned, but before you could type out what you wanted to say your boss' voice filled the room.
"Don't forget our meeting in 10, guys!"
Your eyes snap up from your desk to your boss' office and your shoulders slouched. The meeting hadn't been on your mind at all, and you knew you had to cut this conversation with Nicholas short in order to prepare for it. You sigh, thumbs moving across your screen.
i'm at work and have a meeting soon, but do you care to talk later? i haven't really talked to anyone about this and... it's kind of nice letting it out not gonna lie lol
His reply comes a few minutes later.
if you want, i can call you around 6 tonight if that's alright? i have some things to finish today but i should be free by then.
Call? For some reason that makes you nervous, your fingers twitching and stomach turning. You hadn't spoken to Nicholas in a few months, and the thought of hearing his voice has your skin buzzing. Weird. You don't have time to reply, instead reacting to his message with a thumbs up and gathering your things for the meeting.
...
A shower, a set of comfy clothes, your favorite blanket, and a bowl of ramen later, you had almost forgotten about your expected phone call with Nicholas by the time you rested on the couch after work. Too engrossed in your shows, you nearly jump out of your seat when you hear your phone rang from beside you. Your quickened heartbeat relaxes for a split second when you see it's just Nicholas, but speeds up again when you realize he actually called you.
You stare at your phone as you let it ring once, twice, and then a third time before finally pressing answer.
"Hello?"
"Hey." Nicholas' soft voice fills your ears. "Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I got distracted."
"It's fine," You say from around your thumb, it somehow finding its way to your mouth as you nervously chew on it. "I kind of didn't really expect you to call."
"Seriously?" He sounds shocked, like it doesn't make sense why you would think that. "I told you I would."
"I know, just..." You shrug, then blush when you remember he can't see you. "This is weird, right? You calling your best friend's ex to listen to them complain about said best friend."
He's silent on the other end before saying, "Listen. We're still friends, correct? Friends check in on each other. Plus... I'm kind of on your side. What he did was fucked up. I told him that."
"You told him?"
"Mhm." Nicholas hums, and you hear the sound of a door shutting in the background. You hear some shuffling and the sound of him groaning quietly, and you suspect he's in his bedroom, lying down. "I called him an idiot for you, don't worry."
You laugh, surprised, pulling your blanket further up your body.
"You didn't have to do that."
"No, I did." He's laughing now. "He needed to be told that what he did was wrong.”
"He probably didn't like that."
Nicholas sighs on the other end. "He sure fucking didn't."
"Is he mad at you?" You say after a few beats of silence, your lips slowly tugging down into a frown.
"For what?"
"For talking to me?" You grumble, pulling a string of fabric out of your blanket. "And for agreeing that what he did was fucked up?"
"Uh..." Nicholas clears his throat. "He doesn't really know that I reached out to you. Yet. This was weeks ago when I called him out on his shit." He pauses. "But yeah, he was pissed that I told him it was fucked up."
You go silent, not sure how to respond. You feel odd, like there's a weight on your chest, almost like... sadness. You knew how hard-headed Noah could be and how it was hard for him to get over his pride, so having one of his best friend's call him out on how he treated you was sure to piss him off. Though, a part of you was hoping maybe he'd tell Nicholas he regretted it all, regretted the way he treated you, but there was none of that. 
"Still there?"
Too lost in your thoughts you don't realize how long you've gone silent, and your cheeks flush out of embarrassment.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry. Just thinking."
"About?"
"I don't know..." You sigh. "Just how stupid I feel being upset over a guy who's angrier that someone called him out than what he actually did to me. It's embarrassing."
"No, it's not-"
You cut him off. "Yes, it is. It's really fucking embarrassing. I thought we were serious, fucking exclusive, only to find out he looked at our entire relationship the complete opposite." You have to catch your breath, shoulders deflating. "He called me a situationship, Nicholas. Like it was just some fucking fling to keep him occupied because he was bored."
Nicholas doesn't say anything, and to be honest, you don't blame him. If you were on the other end you're not sure what you would say either. It just angered you, this whole thing. You thought you had found someone, maybe not exactly the one, but maybe someone you wouldn't mind getting serious with.
"I just," You continue on, filter long gone. "Sometimes I wanna get back at him, you know? Hurt him like he hurt me."
Nicholas is quiet on the other end and bringing your hand up to chew on your thumb again, nerves growing even more. Maybe you had said too much, complained too much, and he's probably annoyed. He probably regrets telling you that you could complain and that he didn't mind.
"Listen..." Nicholas starts and you're fully expecting him to be upset with you. "This might sound crazy, and tell me if it is, but I think I know how you can get back at him."
You freeze.
"What?" 
"Noah's my best friend, and I love him, but we grew up together. I know how he is." You hear him sigh on the other end. "It was shitty to lead you on and to make you think it was more than it actually was. I'm not going to sugar coat it."
"Well, we already know that but what's so crazy about it?"
"You didn't let me finish." He huffs out a laugh, and something inside your belly flutters. "The more I think about it the crazier it sounds but... it might not make him hurt like you are, but it'll definitely make him mad."
This interests you, and you find yourself sitting up on the couch. "Oh? Go on."
"Um..." He clears his throat. "Noah gets incredibly jealous and I know he wouldn't know what to do if he saw you with someone else."
"But I'm not." You say with a pout. He laughs again.
"Right." He pauses. "But what if he thought you were?"
"Okay..." You say slowly. It does sound like a good idea, but how would you pull it off? You had nobody to fill in for you. "How would I go about that? There's not exactly anyone jumping at the chance to fake date me."
"That's where the crazy part comes in," He sounds nervous and you can't help but find it almost adorable, the way his voice gets softer as his nerves settle in. "He'd lose his fucking mind if the person you were seeing was someone he knew. A friend of his." Another pause. "...Maybe even a best friend."
Realization dawns on you and you can't help the way your lips part, a gasp slipping from your lips. "Nicholas Ryan."
"Hear me out!” You close your mouth. "Just imagine how pissed he'd get. He wouldn't know what to do. It'd eat at him forever."
You let his words finally sink in, the proposition closeting around your mind. It was crazy, absolutely fucking insane but… it didn’t sound so bad. It actually sounded kind of genius. What bet way could you get back at him if not… fake-date his best friend? You knew Noah and you knew just how bad he’d handle this, and the thought made your body shake in excitement.
“Alright.” You say finally, lips stretching into a smile. “Exactly how would we do this?”
“Well…” Nicholas pauses on the other end, letting out a nervous chuckle. “We’d just try to make him believe we were actually together.”
“Like… hang out at the house and act like we’re going on dates?”
“If you want. Whatever you’re comfortable with.”
You go silent for a moment. “And you think it’ll work?”
“I know it’ll work.” Nicholas says matter-of-factly.
You lean back against the couch and think over your option for a moment. You really had nothing to lose, either Noah will get upset or you’ll get no reaction at all.
“Fuck it. Let’s do it.”
You could practically hear the smile in Nicholas’ voice when he replied with a “Hell yeah,” and your belly fluttered, flipping and turning at the thought of you doing this. It was childish, sure, but you didn’t care. You wanted to get Noah riled up and you knew this was the only way to do it.
You and Nicholas talked over some details before you settled on coming over later that week and then you’d go from there. Later that night when you settled into bed, you felt lighter than you had in weeks, sleep finding you easily.
...
You took a deep breath as you put your car in park and leaned your forehead against your steering wheel. You had been nervous the entire drive over and even drove in complete silence, trying to gather your thoughts. They were too jumbled, you could barely even think straight. Was this a good idea? You turn your head to stare at the house, one you had grown used to months ago, and you feel the pit in your stomach growing. 
This was a terrible idea, you think. You should just put your car in reverse and get the hell out of here, because you're sure your plan wouldn't work. How would it? There's no way Noah would believe you and Nicholas were a thing, you were a terrible actor. Could you really convince Noah that you were actually with Nicholas?
Your phone buzzes in the seat beside you and you huff out a sigh, reaching for it.
let me know when you're here. he's just watching a movie with bryan and jolly right now.
is it too late to back out? idk if i can do this.
You press send before even thinking, pressing your forehead back against the steering wheel. Another text comes through.
it's your choice. i'm cool with whatever, as long as you're comfortable.
i got your back.
For some reason that has your chest blooming in heat. Your eyes flutter shut as you think over your choices, Nicholas' words looming in your mind, and you let out a sigh. I got your back.
meet me at the door? i'm coming up now.
All you get in a response is Nicholas reacting to your message with a heart, but that's enough to calm your nerves and even bring a small smile to your face. You pull the mirror down one last second to give yourself a once over, fixing your hair, and then you're opening the door. You take your time walking up to their house, eyes scanning over your surroundings to see if anything has changed. Nothing has, and it brings some sort of comfort to you.
Before you can even raise a hand to knock at the door, the handle is twisting and you're met with soft eyes and a smile.
"Hey."
You stand there, dumbfounded for a moment, as your eyes scan over Nicholas' face. You can hear someone speaking in the background, along with a movie playing, and you have to swallow down the nerves that are threatening to come back. 
"Hi." You say quietly and give Nicholas a shy smile. He looks behind him before stepping out, closing the door.
"Are you sure you're okay with this?" He asks, face clouded with concern. His lips purse into a pout as he looks down at you. "I don't want you doing this if you're having second thoughts."
You shake your head. "I'm okay. I would've left already if I was that scared."
His frown only deepens. 
"I don't want you feeling like you have to do this. It's a crazy idea. I can understand why you'd be afraid."
His concern for you only makes the heat in your chest expand, feeling it all the way down to the tips of your fingers. He was so worried about how you felt about all of this, wanting to make sure you were comfortable... it was all new to you. It's not like Noah never cared about how you felt, but this was a different feeling. Nicholas was different. You swallow again, reaching out to place a hand on Nicholas' arm.
"This is a crazy idea, but it's one I agreed to." You see him look down at your hand on his arm before looking at you again, and you give him another smile. "I want to do this. Plus, you got my back. Remember?"
This makes him smile, albeit small, and he nods. "Hell yeah I do." 
You stare at him for a beat, smile never wavering before clapping your hands together. “Alright. Let’s do this.”
He opens the door and lets you in first, and you hear Noah before you see him. His voice has you pausing in the hallway, lips dipping into a frown, and you barely notice Nicholas behind you. You jump slightly at the feel of Nicholas' hand against your back as he guides the two of you to the living room. Your stomach turns reveling in the fact Noah has to see you, with Nicholas, because this was the only way to his room.
"Just follow my lead." Nicholas murmurs against your ear and you try to ignore the way your body shivers, heat exploding throughout you. 
You nod.
The second you enter the living room all eyes are on you, and you don't miss the way all the boys do a double take. Both Jolly and Bryan stare at you in enjoyment, lips curled, and you can't help but smile back, sending them a wave. Noah’s face is blank, but you don’t miss the way his eyes narrow at the sight of you and Nicholas together.
"Well, well, well." Bryan's grin only grows and his eyes dart between you, Nicholas, and Noah. "Long time no see."
"Where the hell have you been?" Jolly asks and Bryan chuckles beside him.
They know exactly where you've been, but the fact they still asked with Noah in the room has your smile widening. Especially with how his face is now turned into a scowl.
"Oh, you know." You shrug. "Around."
“With Ruffilo?” Jolly questions, his brows raising. You give another shrug, your cheeks heating up.
“Wouldn’t you like to know.” Nicholas teases, the hand that was on your back now sliding down to rest on your hip. Noah’s eyes follow the movement. You notice, and so does Nicholas, and his hand drops from your hip to circle around your own.  “We’re gonna be upstairs if you need me.”
Jolly whistles. “With everyone home? That’s brave, Nick.”
You can’t help but blush, head dipping down to hide it and Nicholas laughs out, “Fuck you.”
“Dude, shut up.” Noah snaps at Jolly. You look up at that, brows furrowing to find Noah already staring at you. “Since when are you guys friends?”
You frown as the anger begins to build inside of you, his tone immediately setting something off. It was so… accusatory. As if you had done something wrong – which you hadn’t.
“Dude-“ Nicholas starts, but you cut him off.
“We’ve always been friends.” You bite out. “Maybe if you’d paid attention before, you would’ve known that already.”
The room goes silent after that and you take a deep breath, trying to calm yourself down. You look up at Nicholas.
“Can we go now?” You ask quietly, but just loud enough for everyone to hear. He gives you a small smile and nods, facing his friends again.
“Text me if you need me,” He says while starting to tug you towards the stairs, “but don’t need me.”
Jolly and Bryan laugh but Noah remains silent, lips pressed together as he fumes in his seat. Nicholas' hand in yours feels heavy, especially now with the way you m know Noah's staring at your intertwined fingers. Nicholas gives you a supportive squeeze and gently pulls you with him, making his way up the stairs.
"When did this happen?" Noah follows after the two of you and you press your lips together, eyes rolling. 
"Like it matters?" You mumble, turning to look back at him. "We weren't serious. I can see whoever I want to."
"So, you chose my best friend?"
"I didn't choose anyone, Noah." You groan and stop at the top of the stairs, Nicholas still tugging at your hand. You don’t miss the way Noah is glaring at his best friend behind you. "Not everything is about you."
This has him stopping on the bottom step, looking at you as if you’ve just wounded him before turning into anger at the sound of Jolly and Bryan erupting into ooooh’s. You know a few months ago you would’ve doubled down and apologized, but right now all you want to do is laugh. It felt good making him feel bad, as crazy as it sounded, and the second you reach Nicholas’ room you feel as if you’ve finally made it to the end of the race.
The hard part is over.
You finally let out the breath you had been holding when Nicholas shut the door. He leans forward, pressing his ear to the door for a moment before taking a step back and looking over at you, his lips tugging up into a smirk.
"He's still out there." He whispered, just loud enough for you to hear. "He looked so fucking pissed, dude."
You have to press your hand against your mouth, trying to muffle the giggles that threaten to spill. You feel like a kid, pulling a stupid prank on your friend on the playground, but you can't help how exciting it feels. You wonder just how pissed Noah is, thinking that his ex or whatever you were to him moved on... to his best friend. 
"Did you see the look on his face when you grabbed my hand?" You press your lips together and let your eyes shut, taking a deep breath to stop your laughter. "Holy shit. That was priceless."
“I’m definitely gonna get chewed out for this but it’s so worth it.”
Nicholas makes his way over to his bed and flops down onto it, laughing to himself and he doesn't bother holding it back. You follow his lead, sitting down beside him as you finally let your own giggle release, falling onto your back. The two of you lay there, giggling like children, and you hadn't even realized all the tension that was once in your body has fully vanished. 
Call yourself hateful, but it felt good to see the look on Noah's face. To see him so upset. You're not sure if he was exactly hurt in the same way that you were, but you knew he was pissed. That's enough for you. It also felt good to just laugh, something you haven't done in a while, and you turn your head to look at Nicholas. He's still laughing, face scrunched in amusement and that same warm feeling in your chest comes back. 
"Thank you." You hum quietly, and Nicholas' laughter dies out. He turns his head to look at you and he smiles, bright and big.
"Of course." He mumbles. "I got your back. Remember?"
He echoes your words back to you and this makes you smile, hand reaching out for his own that laid on the bed. You find that it feels easy to intertwine your fingers with his and you give his hand a squeeze. He returns it back.
"What do we do now?" You question after a moment, hand slipping from his. You swear you see his face fall for a split second.
He sits up then, running a hand through his hair. "Well. We let him believe whatever he wants about what we're doing in here and..." He gives you a shrug, grinning down at you. "We hang out, I guess. Watch a movie or something."
You nod at his words, resting your hands against your stomach,
“Sounds good to me.”
And so, you do. He puts on a show he'd been watching recently, an anime that you didn't know the name of, and the two of you laid side by side as the episode played. You had watched a few anime’s with Noah when you two were together, but you never really found yourself getting into them. You're not sure what's different this time around, but you find yourself asking Nicholas questions every so often. You ask about the plot which he happily obliged, going into great detail about them.
It was nice, you think. You quickly realized you liked hearing him talk. His voice was soft, but low. It had a very calming tone to it, one that always put you at ease. You think you could sit and listen to Nicholas talk for hours and never get bored.
One episode turned into two, and two episodes turn into four, and before you know it, it’s already dark outside.
“Shit. What time is it?” Nicholas says beside you, reaching for his phone. You turned to look at him, eyes widening when you realized just how close the two of you had gotten in the few hours you’d spent here.
A part of you felt the need to be even closer. You shake it off, sitting up on his bed and stretching out your limbs as Nicholas spoke again.
“Dude, it’s literally nine o’clock.”
“It didn’t even feel that long.” You watch as he rolls off his bed, stretching, before looking down at you. “Sorry I kept you here so long. Once I get started on a show I can’t stop.”
“It’s okay. I actually really liked it.” You say earnestly, standing up from the bed. He smiles.
“Yeah?”
“Of course.”
“We’ll have to finish the next episode the next time you come over then, if you want.”
For some reason the words next time has your body heating up, skin buzzing with something you can’t exactly place. You smile up at him.
“I’m down.”
He waits for as you grab your things and the two of you make your way back downstairs. It’s much quieter than it had been earlier, but Noah and Jolly were still on the couch, but they had switched places at some point. You don’t bother glancing at Noah, though you feel his glare, and send a wave to Jolly.
“Leaving already?” Jolly says, a playful pout slipping onto his lips.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back.” You hear Noah snort, and you take a chance to glance at him, seeing the boy roll his eyes. You have to stop yourself from smirking.
You got him.
“You better.” Jolly’s eyes move to Nicholas. “Next time don’t hog her, man. Let her come out and say hi or something.”
“I make no promises.” Nicholas teases, placing his hand against the small of your back. Your skin prickles in goosebumps at the feeling and you find yourself leaning into his touch.
Jolly laughs but sends you both off with a wave, Noah’s eyes following you until you’re out of sight and by the door.
You let out the breath you had been holding.
“Doing alright?” Nicholas mumbles. You nod and try to give him a reassuring smile.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” You speak. “Thank you for doing this again, you really didn’t have to.”
"Hey, what are friends for? Also, it was literally my idea.” Nicholas murmurs, smiling down at you. “… Text me when you get home?”
You've already forgotten about Noah in the living room, most likely trying to eavesdrop on your conversation, too busy finding yourself getting lost in Nicholas' eyes. You nod. 
"Of course."
His smile widens, which you didn't think was possible, and he leans forward to brush his lips against your forehead. You freeze, eyes widening at the action. You had talked about making it believable on the phone, but you didn't expect him to go this far. You also didn't expect to like the feeling of his lips against your skin as much as you did.
You both whisper your goodbyes, and you find yourself back in your car, hands gripping the steering wheel. 
That went a lot easier than you thought.
...
This goes on for a few weeks.
You come over a few times a week to hang out, sometimes in Nicholas' room and sometimes in the living room when Jolly begs you two to join him and Noah for a movie. The first time was awkward, and you knew Jolly only did it to be an ass, but after a while it stopped being so awkward and started to become... normal. 
Noah didn’t speak to you, and according to Nicholas he didn’t speak to him either for a good two weeks. He’d only ever glare at the two of you during your movie nights or when you both made your way upstairs, and at first you loved it. You loved that you got under his skin so much that every time you were around, he was seething. It made you feel good, as crazy as it sounds.
Eventually, though, you stopped caring.
You don’t know when it happened, or when you stopped coming over to piss off Noah, but it happened. You and Nicholas started hanging out more, even outside of the house, and you found yourself enjoying his company more than you ever thought you would.  You were starting to anticipate his texts, and even his calls, your belly erupting in butterflies every time you saw his name flash across your screen.
Some crazy part of you thinks that maybe Nicholas had stopped caring too.
Even in the quiet of his room where no one else was around, he was always touching you. Arm wrapped around you as you curled into his side, fingers twisting and twirling in your hair as you two finished another episode of his – and yours – current favorite anime. Sometimes he’d be the one curled up against you, his head resting against your stomach as you laid out on his bed, listening to him talk about why Episode 3 was the best out of the prequels.
It didn’t shock you too much when you finally sat down with your thoughts about everything – Nicholas, Noah, yourself – and with the help of your friends, you came to the conclusion that you weren’t pretending anymore. You had feelings for Nicholas, and the thought was equally terrifying and exciting in every way.
You find yourself back at the front door after spending a few hours there and Nicholas is already leaning down to press a kiss to your forehead, like he always does when you leave. Your eyes flutter shut and you lean into the feeling, letting yourself enjoy it for once, and you lift your head up. He pulls back, briefly, and your eyes open to stare into his. 
You can feel Noah's eyes on you both, the first time he has in weeks, but for some reason you can’t find it in yourself to care all that much. Nicholas gives you a gentle smile and you can't help but let your eyes drop to his lips, before gazing back up. He catches it, brows furrowing and head tilting, and you lean up again.
"You should kiss me." You whisper, eyes darting back to his lips.
He swallows. "What?"
"Noah's watching." You whisper again. "We gotta make it believable, right?"
You watch as he blinks from your eyes down to your lips. He does it a few times, staring at you in silence, and you know that he knows. Noah doesn’t care anymore, even though he’s watching. Nicholas knows you’ve already made it as believable as you could, but he still goes along with it. Your breath catches in your throat when you feel him reach up and tuck a piece of hair behind your ear before leaning down, forehead pressing against yours.
"...Yeah. You're right. We do." He breathes out and you physically shake at the feeling of his breath ghosting your lips. 
You don't move at first, and neither does he, and you let your eyes flutter shut as your fingers come to circle around the flannel that hung off of him. Your fingers curl around the material the second he leans forward, capturing your lips with his. Both hands come up now to cup your face, Nicholas' thumbs brushing over your cheeks, and you'd have half a mind to be embarrassed by the sound that escapes you, but you're too caught up in him. 
Nicholas is the first to pull away, but you don't move, you don't even open your eyes. You can hear your heart thudding against your chest, and you have to take a deep breath to try and calm yourself down. His hands still cup your cheeks, and he tilts your head forward slightly, pressing yet another tender kiss to your forehead.
"Text me when you get home." 
You don't miss the waver in his voice, and you finally open your eyes to look up at him. You see something in his eyes shift, something much softer than you've ever seen, and it makes your heart flutter. You give him a small nod and try not to frown when his hands fall from your face. You drop your hands from his flannel, and he gives you a smile, but there's something behind it.
You think about it (and his lips) the entire drive home.

[series masterlist] [next chapter] [sign up to the taglist!]
Tumblr media
Just walk up there.
It’s nothing.
Nothing you haven’t done before.
You’ve been in front of thousands— millions of people before. You’ve been in arenas of people screaming and applauding, crowds swarming you as soon as you step out the door. This, being in a moderate sized room where half the eyes on you are stuffed in a helmet, should be easy. Child’s play.
It was nothing.
So why the hell are you feeling so terrified?
You were practically shaking— staring up at the set of stairs in front of you, leading to the Armourer who stood next to the original Forge. The one where every Mandalorian in the golden age would have been brought into the creed. And now, you were going to march up there and add your name to the list. You felt like an imposter, out of place in a flowing dress while you were surrounded by hard plates of armour and dark colours.
The only reason you moved was Bo-Katan behind you, a soft hand on the back of your arm nudging you in the right direction. You were grateful for her kind eyes as she nodded you up to the podium, and then your feet remembered they were attached to your body.
You met Din’s blackened stare, and started to move.
Your dress was loud. A brush of the light yellow fabric along the smooth granite ground sounded deafening. Like an alarm going off, alerting every watchful eye of the Mandalorian ancestors to your betraying presence.
Stars— you were starting to think like them, too.
It was hard not to get caught up in it all. The darkened room, soft whispers through helmets, and as you took the last step up, he was there. Your breath caught in your throat.
He looked the same as always. Of course he did, but it knocked the wind out of you all the same. Once he was in your sight, you didn’t look away. You couldn’t. His presence didn’t allow it. The Armourer said something, and the only reason you acknowledged her was because he did.
“This is The Way.” He says, the words sticking to you like glue when he practically purrs them out like that. This was the way it was now. You— a fake Mandalorian, unable to stand without everyone around you holding you up.
Swallowing hard, you felt Bo-Katan move away, but you were too busy watching Din take three steps to your side. His arm wrapped around yours, sneaking it’s way under the bare skin of your wrist, cold gloves skittering electricity up your arm.
And… oh.
It was like everything just stopped.
You could feel the press of his fingers, light but meaningful, like most of his small touches of you. He was careful not to wander the expanse of exposed skin, which he easily could, even in front of all these people. People who you’d… you’d actually almost forgotten everyone was there.
You stared up at him as if it was your first time seeing a night sky— entranced and all encompassed by the inky black and shining silver, and all the whispering voices faded away until it was just his rough breathing and his gloved hand on your feverish skin.
He didn’t look at you, just at where your own hand was placed, holding for dear life on one of the many plates of his armour. He led you with him over to the half sphere that sat in the middle of the stage. You peered in, seeing the eternal flame fluttering a reliable blue, with the water from the mines floating calmly behind it.
You grab him tighter— either out of reflex or wanting, but he leans into it. Lets you use him to stand, to stay strong in the face of the Armourer. You hope he’s strong enough to keep you standing on his own, because now he’s here, you aren’t sure how you stood without him.
Tumblr media
Din was speechless.
He was known as a man of well chosen words to most, so his silence wasn’t unexpected. He was grateful he’d built that reputation, because even if he had to, he wouldn’t of found words that described why he felt frozen at the top of the stairs.
When he’d see you walk in, he felt like time had… stopped. It was stupid of him. He was meant to be in control. He was a King. Standing in front of his people; leading. But… stars, you were the only thing in 20 years that had made him freeze.
You walked so easily, like you were made to be there. It was like that first day, watching you walk through the city like the ground was made to bear your weight. He couldn’t look away. Couldn’t tear his eyes away from your slow, swift steps or the way you gracefully floated across the hard floors. Neither could anyone else. Outside his direct view of you, he could see his people watching. Some eyes were evaluating; the hard faces and helmets looking you up and down like they were scanning the battlefield— precisely and with no mercy.
Others watched like he did. In awe. Some eyes were soft, some whispers drifted their compliments towards her, even though they wouldn’t be heard. That’s how he knew they were genuine. They fell on deaf ears, but they were supposed to.
When you crossed the stage to him, the only thing that snapped his attention away was the loud voice of the Armourer in his ear, telling him to move towards you.
He could tell you were nervous when he got closer— for once, your eyes betrayed you easily. He thought that he was the one that’s hard to read, considering you couldn’t see his face, but you had schooled yours to a point of contention. He knew if you could see him— really see him, you’d read right through him.
But your eyes now, even though they held his, were unsure. He was supposed to just stand next to you, walk with you to where you would touch where the mines water meets the flame, and then you’d be one of them.
But he couldn’t help himself. Your dress, draping over your skin like liquid sunshine, made something angry and foreign to him burn in his chest. He wanted to feel what it was to be that close to someone— someone, he had to tell himself. Anyone. Not just you. It was a lie, but it was one he’s going to have to believe himself.
He was jealous of your dress, gently grazing the skin of your hips, gliding against the softness of your thighs. You were covered, but he knew what was under there. What was in reaching distance for him. Instead, he settled for your arm. As soon as Bo-Katan released you, he took his chance, and for the first time in a while, he followed what his rapid beating heart was telling him to do.
When he reached for you, you answered in earnest. Your hands were nearly clawing at him, holding on to the thickest parts of his armour and pulling him close to you. He let you find purchase on his body— the line of yours tucking tightly into him, and he found himself hoping you held him harder. Dug your nails in so hard that he felt the lines being marked on his skin. He wanted you to need to lean on him— to need him like he found himself needing you up here.
You clung tightly through the whole ordeal, Din not being able to remember much about it other than how warm you were against him, and how close your skin was to his. Just a few inches of armour, feeling so heavy on his body, and he would be able to feel you. He hates that he thinks about that— a million eyes on him, and all he can think about is how soft you would be under the rough calloused palm of his hand.
He doesn’t remember the last time he’s thought of feeling that. Let alone… longed for it.
The longer you held him, the more Din thought it wasn’t real. Maybe you were trying to sell it. As far as the rest of his people knew, you were supposed to be in love. You needed to be seen united and together, leaning on each other. This was just business to you— he knew that. It was to him, too.
It had to be.
The alternative… it was better to be buried than brought to light. Din wouldn’t handle that disappointment well.
Tumblr media
The entire thing was a blur from the minute he touched you.
You remember the physical parts. Where he took you to the edge of the Forge, rested your hands on the edge of it. It was cold. Colder than he was, although he’d been pressed up against you so long his armour was as warm to the touch as your skin was. You wondered if he was that cold under that suit.
When you managed to shake that thought away, you remember him guiding your hand towards the flame. It was too hot, and you wanted to pull away for a second. You flinched, but Din kept you on the right path, guiding your hand and covering your reaction, and it ended up looking like a part of the carefully planned show.
The fire nearly licked the inside of your wrist— the water a sharp cold contrast. The Armourer spoke words, and you repeated them, but even they fade; pale in the shadow of the memory of how Din stood above you.
For the first time, he looked every bit the King you’d been told he was. He stood tall, watching as you knelt in front of him, never moving a fucking inch. Then, he reached out, gloved hand intertwining with yours as he led you down and out of the room, disappearing before you could speak again.
He didn’t have to do that.
He does everythin with purpose… and that little touch? That tiny extension of a person under all this? That was… well, it was enough to make you stumble out of the hall like an idiot.
It was mind numbing. How his fingers easily melted into the small gaps between yours, how eager he seemed to take your hand, how quickly he latched onto you and swept you out of the room, like he knew what you needed.
As you shuffled your way down and outside, you wanted to scold yourself. If anything, this was the part of the day you had to have a clear head about. You were left alone for this— it was just you, a short, isolated walkway, and a greenhouse in the middle of nowhere.
You’d asked about it. Why they had something like that out here— in an environment that seemed to harbour life well enough, despite the rumours of the toxic and cursed lands.
“It’s a symbol.” Din had replied, although when you’d asked him he’d just been The Mandalorian, the title feeling a little too official now.
“Of what?” He guided you with a hesitant hand, around the corner where the greenhouse came into view. It was small— modest, for the size of the population now. You could see the twisting vines and array of colours, though, and it was bursting with life.
“Of hope.” Din replied, and you chest tightened. “The Mandalorians that were left, after the Purge, they had nothing. Food reserves were scattered— the people were scattered. When a few banded together, this is was what came of it. It reminded them they were stronger together. Many think this was the place our true rebirth was born.”
The door was closed, but you could still see the colours bursting through it. You tried to look for him through the misted glass, but he was no where to be found. Your heart was racing— you had no idea what to truely expect in here. Would he say anything? Nothing? Would he whip out holochess to pass the time?
What made you the most afraid as you pushed the door open and stepped inside, would be that he was going to do exactly what that man said he would. That he’d share with you something you weren’t sure you wanted him to— something that would make you feel even less deserving than you already did.
It wasn’t that you didn’t want to see. It just felt too… too big of a thing to take from him. Despite the small conversations, you’d begun to respect the silent presence of him. And after today, you couldn’t deny the effect he had on you. You didn’t want to take anything from him, not when he’d been so giving to you.
The air felt fresher in here, passing through you in easy breaths, like there was a calming effect inside the four walls. It was bigger than it seemed, or maybe the winding vines and tall bushes that hid you in every corner made it feel more like a maze.
You let your eyes wander, a mirage of purples and blues bursting in between the brightest of green leaves. It seemed to overtake the greenhouse— it was clear there was very little maintenance on the inside, like they’d prefer to just let it run wild. It added to the atmosphere. It was almost a little… romantic.
You swallowed the burning in your throat, and shut your eyes tightly.
“Hello?” You called out, and mentally slapped yourself. It felt stupid. He was in here.
Probably.
Oh, stars.
If he was the one that left you at the altar you think you’d just crawl into a hole and die—
“Around here.” The sound of his voice sends relief rushing through your veins. You followed the sound of it, the two words enough to set you on the right path. As you rounded the corner, you could see him nearly shining, and your chest didn’t feel as tight.
He was there. Looking exactly the same, but somehow completely different in the light of the greenhouse, compared to the dark hue of the Forge room.
The darkness suited him. He was more intimidating that way— a King head to toe. But here, he was more human to you. As far as you knew, he was human, but either way, he was more approachable. Simpler. Here, he was just a man in a pretty suit.
It was very, very pretty in this light.
“I have something to show you.” He says as soon as he sees you. He spits it out like it was a loaded gun in his hand, and the sight of you was enough to make him pull the trigger.
You don’t nod, or shake your head. You just freeze. Staring at him, he turns around, and there’s no words to mince for the feeling you get in your stomach. Fear, maybe, and a little bit of simmering curiosity. You don’t want to see him out of obligation, but for a fleeting second— just for a moment, you know what you want. That you’re curious. You want to see, and you let your eyes flutter—
“AH!” You hear it before you see it.
Two giant ears stick out the sides of the helmet, and then two clawed hands hand below them. When he turns around, you notice how Dins hands hold it gently. Whatever the hell it is.
Or rather, whoever.
All thoughts of the faceless man in front of you flood out for the first time in weeks. When two giant bug eyes whip around and stare at you, ears flapping with the movement, it’s impossible to have any thoughts other than—
“What… what is that?” You say before you stop yourself. “Fuck. Sorry— I didn’t mean that. I just—“
“It’s okay. He’s my—“ The little green thing wiggles around in his arms and then promptly drops to the floor like a sack of potatoes. “Foundling.”
“Oh. Oh!” You watch it stumble around, like it was formed out of proportion. The fast way it’s legs move seem out of alignment with its body, his head tipping forward, almost directing the rest of him, commanding it to follow.
With jagged movements, he ends up at your feet, where he promptly elevates upward, then plops back down again.
“Can he talk?” You say softly, not wanting to scare the little thing as you bend to his level. You look up to Din, who’s already watching you, and see him shake his head. “Well, that’s okay. I talk enough for the both of us.”
A metallic laugh echos from behind the small creature, and he babbles almost in response to it. The sound is infectious, making you grin as he waddles around, his ears tilting him to either side.
You reach out a hand, slowly, and instead of taking it he flies into you, resting in the crook of your arm. This angle gives you a better look, tiny hairs spiralling on his green head, a toothy smile and nearly wrinkled face. You’ve never seen anything like it before.
“He usually doesn’t take well to strangers.” Din says after a while, your body now curled half up on the floor to accomodate the tiny creature. “He likes you.”
“I can be very charming when I want to be.” You squint when you finally look up to him again, soft orange light pouring through the misted windows behind him. “He’s the little thing you were talking about, right? The found…”
“Foundling.”
“Right.” You stare down at it, watching its huge eyes blink at you, and the thing smiles. “Where the hell did you get him? I’ve never even seen… I’ve never seen anything like him.”
“He was a bounty.” You look up at Din, and clearly he can tell you’re horrified. “I didn’t know who, or what he was.”
You watch the little creature, who trusts you far too quickly for something that was clearly hunted by the likes of a Mandalorian. He yawns, speaking in little, incoherent mumbles before his eyes blink slower.
“Who would want to hurt a little guy like this?” His tiny hand wraps around one of your fingers, and you’re pretty sure you’re heart bursts.
“They’re dead.” His words are sharp and sure. It sends a cool shiver down your spine, but it’s definitely not fear.
You look back up at him, standing, and taking a step closer. Din holds your eyes for a moment, like he’s waiting for something.
You know he’s lethal. You aren’t surprised to hear he’s killed— he was a bounty hunter, and is a King. Neither of those titles are won by clean hands, not to mention the Darksaber at his side. If someone crossed him, or tried to take one of the few things he seemed to care about, you anything but surprised to hear they ended up dead.
“He’s sleeping.” You say to break the silence, and your voice drags Dins eyes away from your own.
“Here.” He reaches out, moving so close to you that you can feel the heat of his body. His real body— through the soft parts of him not covered by armour.
He scoops the sleeping form from you, and turns around, and it’s then that you notice the only other thing in the room. A hovering shape that opens on command, only to shut and float behind him once Din places his foundling in there. He’s so gentle with him. A man who just admitted to slaughtering what you can only assumed is dozens of people who got in his way, he’s surprisingly soft when he wants to be.
“Thank you. For letting me meet him.” You say, unsure of what to do next. Your hands go behind your back, eyes tracing the long vines wrapped around the frames of the greenhouse.
“I can never get him to sleep, but when I want him to stay awake, he passes out.” He stands in front of you, and even hidden under ten pounds of armour, he looks as awkward as ever. Your face splits into a grin, laughter softly shattering the careful barrier between you. “I wanted you to meet him. He’s… very important to me.”
“He’s very cute, too.”
“Grogu. That’s his name.” You try it out a few times, letting it familiarise itself in your accent.
“I like it. Nearly as much as Din Djarin. It has a nice ring to it.” You hum, and lean back against one of several wooden tables. It’s full of overgrown plants, some stretching onto the floor and splaying out under your feet.
Your hands dig into the wooden plank behind you, and the easy breathing from before is basically cut off the second he looks up at you again. It goes a little quiet, the whistle of soft wind floating over the top of the thin roof. You can’t stand the waiting around.
“Listen, you don’t… I don’t know exactly what you were planning; but I’ll say whatever you need me to when we leave here. The last thing I want to do is start this partnership off on the wrong foot.” He doesn’t say anything, conveniently finding the floor very interesting all of a sudden. “They told me about what you are meant to… do. And I don’t want you to— no, you don’t have to— can you say something so I can stop talking, please?”
Your heart was racing and you wanted to swallow your tongue if it would get you to stop throwing words around because yeah, maybe you did want him to take off that giant helmet because at the very least you’d be able to see if he was scowling or rolling his eyes or—
Laughing.
He was laughing at you.
Only a little, and you could only tell by the slight rise of his shoulders before he corrects himself and straigtens, but you catch it.
“Are you laughing at me.” You tilt your head, gaping slightly at him.
“No.”
“Asshole.” Rolling your eyes, you take a deep breath. An easier breath.
“It’s okay. We— no one’s coming.” You sigh and nod your head. “You did good today.”
“Seriously?” Now you’re the one who laughs. “I nearly froze the second I got up there! If you weren’t up there I would have fallen on my ass. It was like all those helmets were staring into my soul.”
“It’s an old tradition, but they were happy to see it revived. The Forge is special to my people. You being there— they were glad for it.”
“And this?” You ask tentatively, curiosity nipping at your heels and urging you off the wall a little closer to him. “Is this all an old tradition, too?”
He readjusts with your new closeness, but he doesn’t move away. Instead, he angles towards you, the crib his little baby was in only just visible behind his looming frame. He shrinks you with the long span of his shoulders, and you try not to let your eyes float lower.
“In the Old Ways, Mandalore observed very… reserved marriages.” He shifts again, nearly brushing you, and your heart beats audibly loud. “In most cases, a marriage was simply a well cooked meal and a question with an answer.”
“They just asked to be married. That was it?” He nods.
“Someone would present a gift, or a meal, some who were more intimate than others might try to make it special. But in most cases, nothing would change. They would just be. As they were before, but forever linked by the knowledge they shared. We would never know if anyone was married if they didn’t write it down, or share it with members of their clan. It wasn’t something that was shared in small groups, and no outsiders could ever tell the difference.”
“I’m guessing they weren’t fans of PDA back then, either.” He shrugs, the movement brushing your arm. “So, how’d they get to this whole thing, then?”
“As the Old Way shifted with time, so did their customs. Partners became more common, and they felt there was something missing from their relationship. Something that set them apart from the other members of their clan.” You go to answer, and bite your own tongue again before you can. “Physical touch. Intimacy. Simple touches, a kiss—“
“Partners didn’t kiss in the Old Way?”
“They never removed their helmets. Not to anyone.”
“So how did they…” He stares at you. He was really going to make you finish. “Or they didn’t…?”
“They did. At least, at some point, in some way probably. But mostly, The Way uses foundlings as a foundation for our people. Most Mandalorians’ don’t have any blood relatives in their clans, and if they did, they might not even know.” You make a small ‘huh’ sound. “But when the times shifted, it developed into the marriage system we have now, at least in the Old Way. The newer Mandalorians take on a more universal form of marriage, but the Old Way is still changed. A Mandalorian is to never remove their helmet in front of another living thing.”
“Yeah. I know that part.” You smile and gesture to him, and he stares back. He doesn’t move, his focus deadly and on you.
“When you become a partner of that Mandalorian, you are no longer another being. You become… one being. We remove our helmets, and all differences between us are bared. The things that keep us safe are torn away, and we rebuild to something new. Something connected— forever bound. You never take off your helmet in front of another living thing— but we are no longer seperate. They are a part of you until you take your last breath, and long past it.” You are spellbound. Mesmerised by his words— it’s the only way to describe it. He spoke so passionately about this, and it was hard not to feel the same. It was clear he took this very seriously, and although there was a bad taste in your mouth that you were taking this moment away from him, you couldn’t help but notice his word choice.
We are no longer seperate.
“You don’t have to show me.” You say softly, and he takes another step. He nods. “Ever. I wouldn’t take that from you.”
“This is The Way.” His hands hang by his sides.
“It’s not my way.” The slightest tilt of his head clues that you have his attention. “In my way of life, I don’t do anything I don’t want to do. And this— this is important to you. It should be something you share with someone special. Someone you care for.”
He says nothing, but his hands twitch just slightly, and for a second you think he’s going to go through with it.
“The only time I want you to take your helmet off, is when you want to. You’ve… you’ve been kind to me. Respectful of my wishes, and I want to do the same.”
“I’ve done nothing.”
“And it’s enough.” It was true. He had done nothing to make you feel out of place, or uncomfortable. He’d pushed none of your boundaries, and he’d offered to help secure a lead to search for your parents killers. This… it was the least you could do. “Besides. I’m traditional. If we’re going to do the whole ‘Way’ thing, we can do it the way those old dudes did. Helmet stays on. That’s the Way.”
“This.” He corrects.
“What?”
“This is The Way.”
“Stars. Okay, I’m going to whack you in the head with this olive branch I’m extending if you’re going to correct my grammar.” You raise your eyebrows, crossing your arms in front of you. “So… we’re good with this?”
He nods, and then says your name. His voice now is not wavering. It was full again, a brassy baritone surrounding the small space between you. “I had one more thing to say,”
You nod, and look down to your feet. He’d moved so close his beskar boots were nearly touching your toes. You didn’t move away.
“This is not how I saw myself getting married.”
“Great start.”
“I’m not— I’m saying it’s not what I imagined for myself. I’m not sure if I ever thought I would…” You nod. Wordlessly understanding. “When I agreed to this, I was still unsure. But, I I want you to know I have no doubts, now. Seeing you, hearing what my people think of you… your planet, your family— I will be what you need. I swear it on Mandalore herself. As long as it serves us, we will rule together, as equals.”
“Equals.” You blink at him, enthralled. It’s hard not to be. When someone as stoic as him speaks so passionately about you… it has an effect. Apparently, more of an effect than you were prepared for, because you find yourself having to think about the promises you made him yourself.
That this was just business. Just a professional contract.
“I want to rule with you. I won’t repeat my planets mistakes. I know an ally when I see one. A decent person. A good heart.” He faces you straight on, and it was the second time in the span of a few weeks you’d thought about how easy it would be for him to kiss you. If he was anyone else, you might have done it by now. “I want to do this with you by my side. And I want to be by yours.”
You didn’t have words. For a Queen that had an affinity for charm, to weave a web of intricate patterns of conversation and pull information out of the coolest of characters, Din Djarin left you utterly speechless. You couldn’t stop your hand as it reached for him.
He looked down instantly, watching the bare skin of your hand graze over the pauldron of his armour. The contrast did something to him. You know it. He locked onto it like a trained missile, tracking the light trace of your gentle fingers until they stopped just before his elbow. You shudder a breath, and whisper to him that you want that too.
His hand moves next, a calculated move that holds the wrist of your free arm. The shift means he has to step forward, bringing himself to press against you. Your eyelashes flutter, nearly brushing beskar, as he slowly tilts your arm up and intertwines your fingers. The melt of your hand in his rests between both your heaving chests, and he tries to speak. Whispers your name so lowly you wouldn’t hear it unless it was as deadly quiet as it is.
He raises your interlocked hands up higher, and there’s only one place they would be going. Only one destination that he’s chosen. When your knuckles bump lightly on the sharp edge of his helmet, you bite down your tongue. The cool beskar disappears as he moves your hands just a bit lower and dip them under… and he’s soft there. A soft, giving material hidden under the hardest metal known to the discovered universe, and then he pushes you up.
The whole thing probably takes less than a few seconds, but time nearly slows to a stop with his hands in yours. He was going to show you what equals meant. He was going to show you him. Your chest was tight, body locked in a way that only the parts he was touching were lose and mouldable. You want to… you want to see him. This is something you want, because he wants it.
Your own fingers stretch out, and the helmet moves half an inch upwards.
There’s a sliver of skin. A tanned, cut jaw that you catch, and you shuffle closer, entranced. It’s selfish and dangerous but you want to be closer, want to rip the helmet off him like a kid at christmas, impatient and shaking.
Just as you indulged your most selfish desire in the slightest, leaned forward so you could press the thin wave of your dress closer, an earth-shattering boom came from outside, and the sandy ash of the desert painted the entire world bright orange. You were thrown to the side, glass breaking under your weight as you went flying into the misted glass of the greenhouse. You heard him shout your name; something strong, something to cling to as your head slumped toward the concrete floors.
The last thing you saw was his gloved hands reaching for you before everything went black.

i was scrolling through the tags, and i got inspired by this. . .
i still haven't finished the quest yet ( but i know what happens </3 sad. ) and i live for dilfs honestly. and to think this would be my first kinda proper-ish genshin smut? something with a dilfy guy from sumeru who had 1 whole quest line.
maybe i should write for npcs more, because mm.. some of the genshin npcs are so... ♡
huffman.. wagner... timaeus started to grow on me lately... and now, jebrael.
anyway, we're kicking this off with some nice things about jebrael and a sweet kind-of-househusband-but-not-really-househusband reader!
p.s this is more of a .. drabble than an actual fic woop
Tumblr media
the desert's darling ;; jebrael x male reader
content ;- porn with some plot , nsfw , fluffy things , soft dom jebrael , sub reader , anal sex , size kink , breeding kink / creampie , missionary ( idk positions ) , pet names ( darling )
nsfw below the cut, minors dni.
there isn't much out in the desert, but you've made it quite inviting for travelers alike to come and rest with you. letting them rest off their fatigue in your abode in aaru village. you've met all sorts of people— some students who weren't used to the life there, adventurers who needed a place to stay, some traders from the forest and ciry beyond the walls.
you weren't exactly sent off to live there— but... you chose to.
it was a home unlike any other... even if it was too hot sometimes.
you'd provide sweet drinks, lovely food and a place to stay to any and all who needed it. it sure helped take a load off the village chief and candace— they're more than happy to have your help.
but, amongst the many patrons you'd get, there'd always be some regulars that would come on by... a certain eremite and his daughter. back when they first came by, you were quick to learn jebrael and his daughter, jeht would be common faces.
to say you were enamored was... accurate, but honestly, who wouldn't gawk and stare when there was such a fine man in their house almost every month? you honestly felt like you'd want this man in your house forever.
you'd do everything for them, not even letting them lift a finger. breakfast, lunch and dinner were always prepared everyday. laundry was done and dried, folded up for them once more to bring on their travels. if the journey was rough, who's to say your hands wouldn't work at the knots in his muscled body too?
all in all, jebrael could say you were a perfect host. in fact, it almost felt like he had a sweet wife again. or, husband he should say. archons, he felt like he wanted you more and more with each time he visited.
he wanted you so much.
when night fell upon the desert, he knocked on the room of your door. jeht was fast asleep, he was sure of it. but fortunately you were still awake. always a late sleeper, wanting to make sure your guests were always comfortable before dozing off yourself.
you had a smile on as you welcomed him into your room, one that could make his heart ache, honestly. one that made him want to feel those lips of yours. but he didn't mean to make it drop when he suddenly brought up something about payment.
payment? why would he ever have to pay you? you never wanted to take anything of his, nor would you ever accept it.
clearly he had a different idea on how to pay you.
it just clicked when he stopped calling you by name, only coming in closer, softly calling you " darling " with that huskiness in his voice.
and you crumbled and caved.
and that's how you ended up on his lap, lips pushed together in a fervent kiss. he was much bigger than you, he could handle you with ease. just the thought of it made you shudder, melting into his touch some more. and clearly it made him go mad as well, groaning against your lips as his hands began to roam your body.
you could feel his hardened length beneath that pesky piece of fabric, your own arousal clouding your mind. if he was big... surely down there would be too. you didn't have to leave it up to imagination for long though.
before long, he had you in his arms, laying down on your bed. his calloused hands that would always do tough work were surprisingly gentle with you, never rough at all. especially when he slowly fingered you open, wanting to spread you open just for him. his lips were against yours, muffling your moans as his fingers worked their magic within you. the lube definitely helped, but he had been going at it for what felt like forever— was he really that worried he wasn't going to fit...?
your head was blank when his fingers left you feeling empty, jebrael merely chuckling at your whine as he repositioned himself. you could feel his tip prodding at your entrance, pulling your legs around his waist as he looked down at you.
" darling, eyes on me, " he gently tilted your head up to look at him, a small open mouthed smile on your face as you saw him. archons, he was so handsome. you could take in his features every time, but it was so clear up close and personal like this. but the slow thrust in distracted you, a shaky moan escaping your lips.
your sounds were angelic. and your insides were heavenly— those are definitely the words he'd use to describe it.
" ..a-archons.. relax.. darling, shit.. " he was gritting his teeth, trying to distract you from the pain of his size in all the ways he thought of. sweet nothings, sloppy kisses, lustful touches. he had a hand gently wrap around your own length, stroking softly as he penetrated further and further in you. he had you feeling so many things at once and you haven't even cum yet.
jebrael was panting heavily once he bottomed out in you, looking down at where you two were connected, feeling how your warmth captured him. he just wanted to stay there for a moment and relish in it, his sweet praises raining down upon you as he rested his forehead against yours.
it wasn't long until you began begging for him— begging for more, begging for something. and you were already mewling and moaning when he slowly dragged his hips back, soft squeals forced out of you as he pushed himself back in. a slow and deep pace, a rhythm meant for feeling and taking each other in.
time went on and his pace seemed to stagger— surely his age wasn't an issue in the picture right now- but rather he was so close to the edge since earlier, it was really hard to last when you were so sexy, ravishing even. it felt more erratic, his girthy length stretching you out and reaching your deepest parts as he angled himself better— to feel every inch of you.
your loud whines and moans were muffled once again, his lips capturing yours for a final kiss as you felt your high wash over you. a warmth spilled over your stomach, a rushing pleasure running all over your body. it wasn't long until jebrael joined you in this high, sheathing himself in your deepest parts before filling you up even more with milky white.
he let himself stay longer, finding you having no qualms against it.
well, this was just the first repayment. he still had more to give back to you after months of being his sweet desert darling.

↳ SIMON “GHOST” RILEY // 2013. ᴥ
EP 1 .
CW// Yelling, idk it’s angst what do you want, aftermath of Simon dying and leaving you with a kid.
Tumblr media
You pour two parts pasta, one part cheese, lined to the backing on the box. Shifting his little feet to lay along the leg wide holes cut through his high chair. “Luke give it a minute, honey.” He’s a thoughtless toddler, without a response. Bits of cereal to fling around on sticky floors, honeyed watermelon and carrot paste. He had been restless since 7 months. Peopled have stopped Inviting you to things, piled next to your water bill and oily napkin bunch. The large of you knew he didn’t deserve the butt end of it. Your nature is casted into stone. From loved, thought of and care for to distant and diseased. Hugged from time to time, yet no one’s trying to lay with crazy.
His father was a dead beat, not his fault. Not yours. His, the fathers, Simons, his fault. It was hardly and appropriate breakfast, now matted to the front of his cotton shark print top.
He’s zipped into the back car seat. You hope to see the day he’s attached to the booster, then left without one. Sad to see it from the front cushions, driving, give or take a new decade.
His school isn’t far it’s the drive that’s hard. One hand to his aid one to the front. Remembering which way to turn, if he was still breathing, did you buckle the left strap? How fast are you going?
The plastic of his fist sized shoes squeak under his foot. Slides past the front gate, squishy playground and over to where you could not see. You’re off today unfortunately. Meant to report to base and check up with whoever from 141 was left with the shortest stick. It was patronizing, the jut of the gas pedal and the stop for ID. You were no child meant for coddling, you just so happen to have a child, one of Simon’s.
”Doing any better?” The walk here made you sick, the air had a smell of dust and rubbing alcohol. Price’s hat made you sick, the pins on his desk slipped down your throat and jabbed you stomach. “How’s Luke?”
“Fine,”
“You should let me n’ Gaz take him out, yeah?”
“Oh then what after that Price?” “Listen,”
“Take my son out for a drink? Show him a few tricks in your big ass truck? Price? I want you to show my child how to load a gun, captain. You know what why don’t you just carry him off to the front lines while you’re at it?” He just sort of stands there, takes in a breath like he’s going to speak and readjusts.
“It’s my day off you know I don’t have to be here,”
“Yes you do,”
“On whose orders?” “Mine,”
“Right, Right the same ones that got Simon killed, it’s all clicking sorry,”
There’s a sort of prickle to those words, it tickles his face and makes wrinkles. “You knew damn well what you were gettin into,”
“Oh my god, how many times are you going to send for me just for us to have this same argument? I hate it, I hate it here. Theres that same goddamn picture that’s been up since our first date. And the fucking Gym still has the same equipment. How many times am I going to look at that stupid ass wall of yours and remember the time Simon put a hole in it? Like I can’t, I look at my sons skin and I worry just how long it takes till all of our grief leaves scars on it.”
Price finally lets go of that breath. “Look, the boys are worried,”
You were too, shifting to anchor yourself. No part of this was supposed to leave you gasping at night. To have your son set In a deep driven drudge of speechless resentment. To have him shielded yet still affected. Up asking why he couldn’t show off his dads sporting gear like Hunter could. Luke has no father, he never did. And that wasn’t your fault or his.
“I have to pick my son up,”
FIN. // EP 2. // MASTERLIST.

“no one can know I can tell what people will manifest as!!” why not? ability detecting is basically torture. u could save sooo many elves so much wasted time. and just how do u think the neverseen will use this against u?? it’s literally useless to them. but it is useful to the elves. like SUPER useful. people can spend their whole lives training w their abilities before they even manifest. like omg keefe cmon
edit (I put this in a reblog but don’t feel like reexplaining it so I’m putting it here)
I get what ur saying about Keefe not wanting the council to exploit him and that having all those ppl go to him but I really think that’s the only good reason which is still a very good one bc it’s about what HE wants (but also think of terik who did it for a bit then stopped but occasionally does it for some people) tbh the only good reasons are Keefe just not wanting to and that’s fair. but honestly I’m talking about the use of the ability and how in the grand scheme and when Keefe is in a better mental place that it can be SOOOOOO useful and like when he’s past all this and is happy and healthy then I would say he should tell ppl about it even if he doesn’t open up to “readings”
with a ability training thing that was one of my main points (tho I did put it in the tags and those go away when u reblog 😒) but ability training is literally TORTURE. like they put these like 11 year old kids in burning hot rooms for hours hoping to trigger a froster… like that’s soooo unethical idk what the councils reasoning for that is. it’s literal child abuse and I’m not even kidding. its brushed off but omg wtf. and imagine going through all that only to discover you were talentless and all that was for nothing. like that would suck
and for the talentless. keefe not wanting to tell ppl they are talentless is a very valid and good reason, but aside from that I think his talent would be more helpful. bc it would give talentless ppl more time to grow up and adjust to the predugist (hate bc I can’t spell 😭) against the talentless. bc even though they would have to deal w it from birth, isn’t that better than living a normal life w friends then BAM one day ur talentless and all of ur friends stop hanging out w u. like ur WHOLE world would be flipped and it’s better to give the talentless more time to adjust to it imo.
also the schooling thing u meantioned is another reason knowing ur talentless form the start would be helpful. BECAUSE THE TALENTLESS ARE PULLED OUT IF FOXFIRE WHICH IS SOOOOO MESSED UPP. like they go to foxfire for like 3 years then the council is like “haha no ability? sucks for u lol! go off to a different school where u know no one and make different friends yk just forget ur whole life up to now haha” like WTF. (honestly the bigger problem here is how the talentless are treated but we already know that has to change so this is about how keefe can help).
also it could give “bad match” couples where one of them is talentless (like Kesler and juline) comfort to know their kid isn’t talentless. And if their kid is talentless then it saves them years from worrying over it and the suspense of it all. Also I just think knowing ur ability from childhood and being able to train for it before u even manifested would be soooo helpful
but in the end of the day yeah, keefe just not wanting to is the biggest thing. and I might be remembering incorrectly bc I haven’t read the book in forever but I remember something about keefe thinking he accidentally triggered the triplets abilities which would be more problematic but idk if I’m remembering it wrong. but I do think like years after kotlc ends (or when ever he feels ready) keefe should defo start using his ability for good. like it doesn’t have to be everybody. it can just be kids of q talentless parent(s) to help their parents out yk bc if two telepaths have a kid then it’s obvi going to be a telepath u don’t need keefe to tell u that
also the main point of the pre-editted post was about how he doesn’t want the NEVERSEEN to know bc he thinks they might be able to use it against his friends. like how. literally how? what use is it going to do them.

My Achilles Heel
Tumblr media
Art Credits: angelsandskullz
ꨄ︎༻Simon Riley One-Shot༺ꨄ︎
✦❘༻Summary: After another mission of ignoring protocol and barely making it out of alive Simon is far from angry.
✦❘༻Tags: sfw, hurt/comfort, 1.7k words.
✦❘༻Author’s Note: For one sorry this took so long I’ve been a bit busy lately and I was orginally working on a different Ghost fic but I wasn’t liking it wether that will be posted idk but if it does you’ll see it. For those who like listening to music I listened to ‘Poison Tree’ by Grouper while writing it :3
══❀•°❀°•❀══
The expected slam of the door never came as he shut it behind you both. “Y/n…” he said your name in a tone he hadn’t used before, he always used your call sign or kid. He sat down in the chair at his desk. He looked more exhausted than usually. “Are you mad?” a stupid question after the stunt you pulled on the last mission.
“I’m not mad just disappointed,” something about it coming from him hurt more than anything. It felt like whiplash, air stolen from your lungs. It meant more when he said it, hurt more cause he was the one who said it. Wide scared eyes that watered as you stood stiff in front of his desk.
You weren’t going to cry, you are not going to cry. Not in-front of him. A harsh eerie silence filled the room his eyes focused on you unwavering. You always had something to say but this time you weren’t, you were silent. You sniffled softly trying to keep it quiet as possible.
But he heard it you knew he did, his eyes softened a bit when he realized you were practically already crying. He’s said many things to you and for the very first time he had made you cry.
“Can’t you just be mad?” you said in a small voice like a child crying to her father, soothing coos you never heard. It’d be easier if he was angry maybe then it wouldn’t be so hard, so hurtful. The pain in your voice seemed to surprise him, you’ve always taken his criticism with no issues.
To say you and Ghost were close would be an overstatement if he had to admit anything. He’d say you were a leech or some lost puppy that always followed him around. You’d have to pry the thoughts out his cold dead body if you wanted to truth.
“Kid almost got yourself killed, you-,” he cut himself off a deep sigh coming from him pinching at the bridge of his nose. You wanted to speak but no words seem to form a good enough excuse.
‘You were going to get hurt’
‘You needed help’
What were you wanting to say, sorry? You weren’t you’d probably do it again. You have though on more then one occasion. Reckless decisions assuming you knew better despite any consequences.
“You got lucky and you won’t get so lucky again,” he huffed out.
“I was saving you,” you trailed the whisper hardly meeting his ears. His eyes shot up to yours a look of fury in them, this time he sure as hell looked angry.
“I do not need you to save me and I sure as hell don’t need you risking your life for me,” his voice raised as he stood upright his hands slamming against the desk. The man who stood by you in every moment you were alone, the man who was there for every tear, laugh and award. The person who said you were going to be okay the first time you got injured on the field.
You never talked about your family and maybe it was easier to forget than think of them. It was only understandable that you’d look up to him like a safe heaven. Ghost doesn’t have nor ever wanted any kids, not like he believes he could be a good father. The man could hardly keep himself on two feet, he seen the signs maybe it’s why he tried to push you away in anyway he knew how.
“You’d be fucking dead if it wasn’t for me,” your defense seemed useless against his wrath as he rounded his desk stopping in-front of you. You were ready to retort but his trembling hands clung to the sides of your shoulders. It felt desperate just like the terror and adamance in his eyes.
“Just because you can doesn’t mean you should,” he was yelling. He never yelled at you like that before, with purpose laced in a hurtful anger. He couldn’t understand why you would risk your life for his and you couldn’t understand why he thought his life wasn’t worth saving.
His hand fingers clung at your arms shaking at you for some realization at how stupid what you did was. “I don’t know what I would’ve done with myself if you had died back there,” he was never angry he was afraid, the few moments where he thought you were dead was the most pain and fear he had ever felt.
He was breathing but it was to much air yet too little, the few minutes felt liked pain staking hours. He didn’t want to look, he didn’t want to find your lifeless body in the rubbles. It made him want to throw up, the fact you survived and hadn’t been torn to shreds was a damn near miracle.
The team was in a frenzy trying to find you within what was left of the building. But there he was frozen in fear, a terrifying stillness he hadn’t felt since the day he lost his family. They talked and talked, loud footsteps shuffling through the place. Yet he hadn’t heard a single thing. His brain deciding not allowing him to hear was the next best thing.
All he could hear was ringing even a mask wasn’t going to hide the seeping emotions from him. He was cracking, breaking as each second past. He wondered what he had said to you last, he couldn’t recall. Was it kind words? Words that you deserved to hear?
And so he began praying, he had never asked for a single thing in his life. He never dared to but if a pray had even the smallest chance of saving you it’s what he would do. If you asked for the stars he’d give you the fucking galaxy. It’s all he wanted to hear the stupid whines he swore he hated, your complains and praise anything, just anything.
He’d say sorry, apologize for being so stupid for not letting you in. He’d say how much he needed you around what made black and white be painted in vibrant colors. If you just came back alive in once piece, he’d be there and he would stay.
Price had been the one to find you, alive and thankfully only with minor injuries. When he heard your voice it was like he could breath again, the air finally filling his lungs properly. His heart no longer beating at its confinements of child-like fear.
It was around then he realized how much he truly cared and it terrified him. He had faced many horrid things in life yet facing the possibility he could one day lose you seemed to be the hardest one. He had something to come home too. A comforting face that was happy to see him. You were waiting for him, wishing him well, wanting him to be happy.
Something that made it all worth while, something he had to lose.
He couldn’t protect you from every force in the world and he knew that but he’d be damned if he didn’t try. If he was going to care he was going to do it right, no cutting corners half assing the shit. In all honesty he didn’t fully understand what he felt he just knew he couldn’t move on if it meant doing it without you.
His love was unseemly, harsh but yours? Your love was beautiful, graceful as the sun dawning on a Sunday morning. A gentle love that picked up his inner child with laughs and smiles that told him he was going to be okay. The child in you healed his own finding the beauty in all the parts of him he thought were hideous. You were what made him want to live not just survive.
His arms wrapped around you in a tightening hug yet he had never felt more exposed. For the first time in the long time you’ve know Ghost it was like you were seeing him for the first time, you were seeing Simon. Ghost wasn’t the one hugging at you so desperately, Simon was.
You could feel the tremors as he held onto you like you’d up and disappeared. You froze for a moment unable to work through the millions of thoughts and emotions. A guilt washed over you, the feeling of his broken form cluttering yours and all you could mutter was, “I’m sorry.”
He shook his head in silence, your arms wrapped around him it was a comforting hug one that felt like home after a long trip. One that you both needed even if neither of you had a home to come too you’d find one together. His thoughts shouted at him as if your presence wasn’t something he deserved but he had no intentions of letting you go. He’d just keep you close enough to protect you.
“Does this mean I get to call you Dad now?”
“No,” he groaned seemingly annoyed but you knew he was smiling even if you couldn’t see it. You snorted a bit the happiness dying as fast as it had risen.
“You can’t leave now okay?” You spoke quietly louder than the little girl in you who still craved the absence left by a family you begged for love. Love you never had to ask him for. There was a lot you looked up to him for, “as long as you stop doing stupid shit.”
“I wouldn’t say it was that stupid.”
“It was.”
“No it wasn’t.”
“I will put you on cleaning duty.”
“Fine,” you folded your arms sighing dramatically expecting another remark but he only laughed stepping back. Your eyes softened at the sound of it. It sounded like home with a warming welcome, yeah this is home.

Kinktober Day Twenty-Eight: Body Worship - Chan/Seungmin
Tags: Body image issues, body dysmorphia, insecurities, fluff
AO3 Link
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On some days, Chan was okay. He looked in the mirror and his body looked good, his skin didn’t have too many blemishes, his hair wasn’t too bad, and overall, he looked attractive. On other days however, looking in the mirror was like a slap in the face. He never wanted to look again but he just kept looking , even when it hurt to see his own reflection. 
This day was one of those days. Chan’s insecurities were overwhelming. He couldn’t focus on anything but what his fans thought of him, what his bandmates thought of him, what his own mind thought of him. There were so many flaws he could fix. So many areas he could improve upon, not even just in his looks. He was probably too strange, too clingy, to pushy. Had he been too harsh on the members at practice last night? Was he a competent leader? Could he even actually write music? My members and STAY must be so disappointed , he thought to himself. It was a painful thought but he couldn’t keep it out of his mind. 
He knew he was catastrophizing and spiraling downwards but he couldn’t stop. The weight of his image weighed heavy on his shoulders and he couldn’t shake it off. 
After hours of silence, as Changbin and Jisung were at the studio (why wasn’t he there? ) and Hyunjin was out with a group of friends, his phone pinged. He hesitated to pick it up but decided he should look, especially as the leader of Stray Kids. It could be something important. 
His heart did a backflip in his chest when he saw the message and he couldn’t help the little twitch of a smile that formed on his lips. 
Seungmin
02:23 Hey I’m coming over You’re at the dorm alone, right?
Chan 
02:24 Idk Minnie-yah. I’m not really feelin it today
Seungmin
02:26 That wasn’t a question, hyung I’m coming to make sure you don’t burn the place down
Chan snorted softly and sighed. Sometimes he felt like Seungmin learned too much from Minho. 
Chan 
02:27 Alright Thank u
Seungmin
02:30 Ofc I’ll be there in a few 
Chan sighed softly and ran a hand through his hair. He hadn’t showered yet today so he forced himself up off the couch and headed to the bathroom. He avoided looking at himself and just hopped into the shower, turning the heat up as much as his skin could handle. 
When he finished, he felt a little better about himself. His skin felt better, his hair felt better, and he felt more alive, like his body worked. He changed into a clean pair of clothes and went back out to sit on the couch to wait for Seungmin. 
A few minutes later, he heard shuffling outside the door and Seungmin stepped inside. The way his face subtly brightened when he caught sight of Chan put a little ease on his fragile mind. “Hyung,” he said softly, and Chan was suddenly overcome with the urge to just be held . 
He quickly stood up from the couch and walked over to Seungmin, rushing to his arms so fast that he stumbled back a little. He buried his face against Seungmin’s shoulder and let out a shaky breath as his arms came to wrap around his torso. A voice in the back of his mind told him he shouldn’t be acting like this, that he shouldn’t be relying on one of their youngest for support. But he couldn’t be bothered to listen to it when the warmth of Seungmin’s body seeped into his core and he held him so firm but so gentle at the same time. “I’m sorry,” he mumbled against his chest. Seungmin trailed his fingers up his spine. 
“There’s nothing to be sorry for, hyung,” he reassured him. 
Chan swallowed and squeezed Seungmin harder. “I dunno why I get like this. Some days it’s just…” He inhaled deeply to steady his voice, which was already beginning to shake. “Some days it's just hard. I don’t–I can’t. There’s just so much . I can’t match up, I’m not enough .” 
“Shh,” Seungmin soothed. “You are enough, you are. You’re just as good as the rest of us, even better. You’re the best leader. I’m not just saying that jokingly. We wouldn’t be here without you.” 
Chan clenched his fists and nodded, not trusting his voice to speak. His cheeks felt wet and he realized that tears were running down his face. Seungmin hugged him tighter and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. 
“What do you need, hyung? I can make you some food. You haven’t eaten yet today have you? Or I could do something else. Tell me what you want.” 
Chan took a deep breath. “I…I’m hungry but I…” He just wanted to relax, to not have to think. He wasn’t even sure if he could eat right now. “I don’t know if I can…” 
“Can I make you feel better then, first?” Seungmin asked. He pulled back a bit so he could look at Chan’s face and he cupped his cheek. “Let me make you feel pretty, hyung.” 
The way Chan’s breath hitched wasn’t due to his emotions this time. He hadn’t been in the mood earlier, but with Seungmin here, holding him close, seeing the genuine love and admiration on his face…he felt different. “Yeah,” he agreed with a small nod. “You can do that. Please.” 
Sometimes Chan felt like he took up too much space. But when Seungmin wrapped his arm around his waist to lead him to the bedroom, he felt smaller. It also made him feel that for a moment, he didn’t have to be the perfect embodiment of his role as a leader. He was just Chan and Seungmin was just Seungmin. One of his best friends, and someone who knew how to take care of him better than anyone else did. For all of his silence and more withdrawn ways, he knew him and the other members inside and out. 
“Can I undress you, hyung?” Seungmin asked when they had entered the room and closed the door behind them. 
Chan nodded wordlessly and stepped back from Seungmin so he could begin tripping him. He started with his shirt, which he folded neatly and put to the side, and then moved to his pants and boxers. 
“This still okay?” he asked once Chan was fully naked and lying down on the bed. 
Vulnerability was not one of Chan’s strong suits and at this moment he felt very vulnerable. But he also felt that maybe, just maybe, he was wanted a little bit. That Seungmin actually wanted to see him no matter how ugly he had felt today. So he nodded again. “Yes, this is good,” he said softly. 
Seungmin smiled his sweet, warm smile that Chan loved so much. “Good. I’m gonna start touching you now, okay?” 
Sparks flitted through Chan’s stomach as Seungmin crawled onto the bed in front of him. His heart began to race and anxiety began to mix together with the sparks, but Seungmin gave him another reassuring smile and his nerves were quelled. 
“You’re so pretty, hyung,” Seungmin stated softly. “Breathtaking.” His fingers gently wrapped around Chan’s ankle and he lifted his leg so that he could press a kiss to the top of his shin. The soft press of his lips made Chan’s skin tingle and he inhaled softly. Seungmin looked so gentle like this, his lips formed into a small pout and his dark eyelashes fanned across his cheeks. He knew Seungmin wanted to focus on him for now, but he would have to do the same thing for him sometime. 
The next kiss was pressed to his calf and Seungmin gave the relaxed muscle a small nip. “You’re so strong. You work so hard,” he mumbled as he pressed another kiss to his skin. Seungmin was a man of few words most of the time, but as soon as they got to the bedroom, praises spilled from his lips like sweet honey. They warmed Chan’s body more than alcohol. 
He moved to the next leg, kissing all over his calf and even giving a quick kiss to his ankle. Then he let his legs rest on the bed again and went between his thighs. “You have such perfect thighs, hyung,” he said, running his hands over the soft flesh. Chan swallowed and his eyes burned. With each word, his insecurities rose and then fell apart at Seungmin’s hand. 
“Thank you, Seungmin-ah,” he said, voice barely above a whisper. He still didn’t feel like he was worth all the praise, but it made him feel so good. It made him feel at least a little worthy, a little more than the least attractive or interesting member in the group. 
Lips were pressed to his inner thigh then and his breath hitched. “Can I mark you, Channie-hyung?” Seungmin asked. He always asked the same question and Chan always had the same answer. 
“Yes, please,” he responded. The stylists would get on him every time he showed up with hickeys on his body, but he needed something , something to remind him that he was wanted, that he was desired. Something to remind him of these intimate moments with Seungmin, moments where work, the pressures of being a leader, and of being a celebrity all melted away. 
Seungmin hummed against his thigh and began kissing him again. This time his kisses were less gentle and he parted his lips a bit to suck on the soft, sensitive skin. His hands traveled over what he could reach of Chan’s body with feather-light touches that had him shivering. He sucked on Chan’s inner thigh and Chan let out a soft moan in response. He could feel his previously soft cock beginning to fill up with every one of Seungmin’s kisses, and the pleasure was slowly overriding any anxious thoughts or insecurities. 
“Don’t be afraid to make noises, hyung,” Seungmin instructed. He turned his head to give attention to his other thigh and Chan moaned again, this time a little louder. “ Good …you have such a beautiful voice.” 
Pink flooded Chan’s cheeks and his heart skipped a beat. Making noises during sex always felt so embarrassing to him but Seungmin liked to hear it. He liked to know he was making Chan feel good. 
Eventually, Seungmin moved on from his thighs. He shifted up a bit and his breath ghosted over Chan’s cock. A small smirk formed on his face when it twitched. Chan nearly gasped when he leaned down to press a kiss to the tip, clearly unable to resist even having his mouth on Chan there. “Even your cock is pretty. I’ve never met anyone who looks so beautiful literally everywhere . You look like you were carved out of marble,” he praised.
Chan bit his lip and swallowed down a whine. “Seungmin-ah,” he huffed in embarrassment. The blush on his cheeks spread down his neck to his chest until his entire upper body was covered in a deep shade of pink. Seungmin chuckled softly as he looked over his body, but nothing about it was mocking. It was full of as much fondness as his eyes, which looked at Chan like he held the universe. He felt like he was going to fall apart. 
“Fuck, your body is literally perfect. Look at you,” Seungmin groaned as he sat up to hover over Chan’s torso. He ran his hands over Chan’s tummy and traced the ridges of his abs with his fingertips. “Gorgeous.” 
Warmth spread through Chan’s chest and his eyes stung. Unlike earlier, however, his tears weren’t due to pain. Seungmin just managed to make him feel so much, and it was all positive. “Th-thank you,” he stuttered. 
Seungmin leaned down and began kissing just below his belly button, slightly above where Chan needed him most at his now aching cock. He scraped his teeth over the skin and then soothed the area with his tongue. Chan’s chest was tight with emotion as Seungmin mouthed all over his abs, leaving red and purple in his wake. Whenever he got to a really sensitive spot, he would moan and his cock would twitch weakly between his legs. Seungmin knew all his weak spots so he made sure to give those areas special attention. 
But he also gave areas that Chan felt most insecure about attention. And that was how Chan found himself unable to hold back tears, little droplets spilling from the corners of his eyes to wet his temples and cheeks. “Min–” he whimpered, reaching out for him. He felt so good, but in the most overwhelming way. 
“Are you okay?” Seungmin asked, concern etched on his features. Chan nodded, despite the tears flowing. 
“Yes I just–” He took a deep breath and swallowed down a cry. “You just treat me so well.” 
Seungmin’s gaze softened and he smiled. “Of course, hyung. You deserve it. All of it.” He took the hand that Chan had reached out with and intertwined their fingers. He gave his hand a light squeeze. “I’ve got you, hyung. And it's okay to cry.” 
Chan nodded and a little sob caught in his throat as Seungmin resumed his kisses. He moved up from his abdomen to his chest, an area where Chan was more sensitive, and never once did he let go of his hand. “You’re stunning, Chan. The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.” Soft praises were mumbled against his skin in between each kiss. Chan felt like he was floating.
He took his time mapping out his skin with his lips and breathy moans and little gasps fell from Chan’s mouth. He was becoming needier, aching for Seungmin’s touch elsewhere, especially when he flicked his tongue over his nipple and began to suck on it. Chan keened and his hips jerked up a bit. He swallowed thickly at the smirk on Seungmin’s lips as he popped off. “I love how sensitive you are,” he said genuinely, giving Chan’s hand another squeeze. “You always look so pretty underneath me like this.” 
Chan whined and bit his lip and Seungmin smiled, bright as ever. “Stunning,” he mumbled. Chan inhaled sharply as Seungmin dropped his head again to begin attaching his neck with kisses. Arousal pooled in his stomach and he gasped when Seungmin sucked underneath his jaw. 
“Seung–Seungmin-ah,” he gasped, his grip on Seungmin’s hand tightening. “Please. I need you–I want you to make me come.” 
“Of course,” Seungmin said. He was always so patient, so caring. Chan still never felt like he fully deserved it, but Seungmin made him feel like he deserved it more. 
He slipped his hand between them and wrapped it around Chan’s heavy cock. His touch immediately had pleasure erupting in the pit of his stomach and he arched his back. Seungmin stroked his cock with slow, rhythmic movements and he pressed Chan’s hand, still intertwined with his own, into the mattress. 
“Good, hyung?” Seungmin asked after a moment. He was still adorning his neck and collarbones with marks, ones that would be a bitch to hide. But at this point, Chan didn’t care. 
“So good,” he moaned lowly, muscles flexing underneath Seungmin’s touch. “I’m close.” 
“I’m glad, you’re doing so well. The best, hyung,” Seungmin mumbled. He lifted his head from Chan’s chest and smiled down at him. “Can I kiss you?” 
Chan nodded vigorously. “ Please .” 
His lips were warm, so warm and so soft. Chan melted against the sheets as Seungmin slotted their lips together in a deep, deep kiss that had his toes curling and his fingers flexing against Seungmin’s hand. Seungmin took up all of his senses. He was everywhere. No more were the thoughts of not being good enough, of failing, of his insecurities. His mind was full of Seungmin, Seungmin, Seungmin . 
He was brought to his orgasm like that. With Seungmin’s lips on his, his tongue in his mouth, his one hand pumping his cock while his other hand held Chan’s. Chan came with a choked moan and Seungmin swallowed down all the noises that he made. He didn’t pull away until Chan had finished and fully relaxed against the bed. And even when he did remove his hand from his cock, he still gave him a few more kisses. 
“How do you feel?” he asked softly. Chan smiled. 
“Much better,” he hummed. A little guilt still made its way into his mind though and he sighed. “I’m sorry you have to take care of me like this…” 
“Shh, don’t even start with that, hyung,” Seungmin said, gently kissing his lips to shush him. “I like taking care of you. It gives me pleasure too, you know.” 
Chan nodded. It could be hard to accept Seungmin’s words sometimes, but he wanted to believe them. “Ahh, you didn’t get to come though…” he said, frowning softly. 
“That’s okay,” Seungmin replied. “You can always help me out later, but this is all about you. As long as you felt good, then I’m happy. You’ll get the chance to touch me, okay?” 
“Okay,” Chan said softly, lifting his head a bit to kiss Seungmin’s lips. At one point he would have insisted, but he knew by now Seungmin didn’t always need that to be satisfied. 
“Good. Let me clean you up and then you need to eat.” Chan nodded and let Seungmin take care of him the way he needed, the way they both needed. Because as much as Chan needed to be taken care of sometimes, Seungmin needed to take care of someone. And Chan was lucky enough to have that person be him.

I've dreamed of this | pt. X
Tumblr media
Summary: You are a part of the BAU, and for the longest time you and Dr. Spencer Reid had been best of friends, even when it was clear to everyone else, and at times to you, that you should be more than that, and when something almost happens on a night out with the team, everything is destined to change.
This is a double pov story (each chapter will be alternated between y/n's and spencer's pov)
Chapter summary: idk man it's the last part what do you think happens
warnings: angst with happy ending
<if you want to be added to the tag-list comment or write to me>
previous part 
Spencer
He hadn't slept. At all.
How could he?
He had had everything, everything he ever wanted, needed, and then, in a heartbeat, it had all fled away.
She had.
He could still feel her, smell her, there, on his couch, on his bed, in his kitchen,
she was gone and had left everything behind, everything, except herself, except what he had fought for, and hoped for so long.
Spencer couldn't believe it at first.
She had said "I don't know if I can do this" and Spencer, as stupid as he was, though
no, she doesn't mean that
because that would be impossible,
because everything was fine just this morning,
but then she had kept going,
she kept talking, and as the realization hit, as she presented him with more and more reasons, more arguments he had felt himself slip away, the sounds coming out her mouth getting muffled as a ringing started in his ears.
She had left him,
because of Hotch
because they're friends,
because she can't lose him.
But he didn't understand,
he couldn't.
His mind was always slower around her, but now it seems it had come to a full stop.
He had done it,
He had finally grabbed the thread, the same one he had been running towards for what felt like ages, his legs tired and his mind full of doubts, of fear. He had grabbed it, and god had it felt good,
better than he could have ever imagined,
better than anything,
So good that all the effort he had put into it disappeared, flew away with the clouds as the sun finally shone.
He had grabbed it, and he thought that was it,
Spencer was never someone sure of himself, he felt nervous all the time, but he wasn't, for once, nervous about this.
For some reason, he had thought that he had done it, and there was nothing for him to worry about,
He had forgotten, as stupid as that was, that it was him holding the thread, 
and who, in their right mind would want that?
No one
He knew.
But he still tried to fight,
not hard enough, of course,
he could have begged her, he could have taken her hand off his mouth and told her the truth.
Told her that he loved her,
from the start,
that he had been waiting for her his whole life,
that he couldn't live without her,
that he loved her more than anything,
more than life.
But he hadn't,
and that was because a part of him, if not all of him, already knew this was gonna happen.
Subconsciously, he knew,
and maybe that's why he wasn't nervous,
because he knew there was no chance, that this was too good for someone like him, too perfect,
and Spencer wasn't used to perfect, what he was used to, was this,
was not being enough,
because he simply wasn't.
So the fight he had put up was simply a farce to let himself know he had at least tried,
so that when he replayed the scene in his head for the millionth time just like he was doing now, he could at least tell himself he had tried, but that, as he knew, there was nothing to do.
Because once again,
someone had walked away,
and he had stood there and watched.
__ __ __
He had thought about not going to work, but when he turned his head to the right and saw his clock say 6 am, he decided he needed to get out, because if he had to spend even a minute more in his bed, laying on sheets still soaked with her sent he was never gonna get up again.
He hadn't undressed so he had just slipped his shoes on and walked out.
He didn't want to stay there anymore.
Too many memories,
not bad ones,
that's the problem,
to much hope
too many broken dreams.
As he walked he thought about it, really thought about it, not of how hurt he was or of the pit in his stomach, no, he had thought about it as if he was a spectator, watching what had happened from the outside.
He was used to this, he used to do it all the time when he was little, pretend it wasn't him living his life, but that he was just watching it from the stands, so at least whatever happened to him was just a show, a nothing, and he didn't need to be hurt or sad, because it wasn't him feeling those things, but someone else.
So, as the wind breezed through his hair, he had come to the conclusion that he had just gone through a loop.
He had reached again the initial situation,
they were friends.
He and Y/n, friends, just friends, as they'd always been, as they were meant to be, according to her.
And he had done that before, so he knew he could be, friends, just like he knew he could spend the rest of his life pretending he didn't want more,
so much more.
He had done it, so he could do it.
He had also realized that on one thing, she had been right.
He didn't wanna lose her either,
and even though, in his eyes, there was no possibility he'll ever leave her, he realized, that the possibility that the opposite could happen, was well higher.
He was Spencer Reid after all.
He had never been anyone if not himself,
and for that, he had been cursed.
He had to look on the bright side,
She was still there, not nearly as he wanted her to, but there nonetheless, with him.
__ __ __
"Good morning sweety pies" Garcia entered the conference room, all shiny and smiley, and Spencer just wanted to melt into the floor"Ready for a new case?"
"Morning baby girl" Derek smirked "You know I'm always ready"
"right" she nodded, "then we should get to it"
"uh-" JJ interrupted "hotch isn't here yet"
"Oh shoot," Garcia noticed "do we wait?"
"he's probably on his way" Emily said 
"Alright," she said, setting the remote on the table as she and JJ started talking 
"hey what's up man" he felt Derek's hand on his shoulder "you look... weird"
If there was one thing he didn't wanna do, was have this conversation.
"No, I'm good"
Derek frowned
"Are these the same clothes you were wearing yesterday?"
Shit
He glanced at them "uh- yes, I was late"
"mh" Derek hummed, a grin creeping up his face "didn't get much sleep last night, huh playboy?"
Spencer now not only wanted to melt into the floor, but into the earth's crust.
"what, you can tell me" he elbowed him " or don't" he raised his eyebrows, not wanting to intrude too much
"Just don't party too hard, kid" he chuckled, and spencer forced a smile, as he tried to think of what to say besides - can you please stop talking?-
"sur-" he had settled on, but Hotch's voice interrupted him
"Good morning"
"Good morning sir we were waiting for you" Garcia informed him
"Uh, yeah, You should start without me I just have to-" he glanced around the room, his eyes finding Spencer's "Reid, can I talk to you in my office?"
His heart had never gotten back up from his stomach, so, as much as he was confused, this was nothing compared to what he was already feeling.
"Sure" he nodded, getting up awkwardly in the silence to follow the man out of the room.
"what do you have to talk to me about?" he asked as Hotch started towards his office
"I'll explain inside" he nodded, opening the door for him.
He stepped into it, and as much as he thought the pit in his stomach couldn't get any deeper,
it did.
He had stopped breathing
"hi" 
y/n's voice echoed in his mind as if it was distant, and not right in front of him, sitting on a chair in front of Hotch's desk.
He turned to his boss without noticing how his mouth was slightly gaped.
"take a seat" he gestured, as he closed the door behind him.
His mind was blank, just like all the colors together create black, all the thoughts coursing through his mind turned to nothing.
He set down,
next to her,
next to her
Hotch cleared his throat "ok," he looked between the two of them.
"what's going on?" he heard himself ask, 
he had talked without even realizing it.
"well-"
Hotch seemed nervous, and he never was.
He cleared his throat again " y/n told me"
He creased his brows, his heart beating so fast he was certain everyone could hear it
"w-what do you mean?" Spencer turned to y/n and then his boss again, so many questions in his eyes.
"she's told me about you two"
"us two?" he turned to her again, and this time, he saw her, really saw her.
She looked worried, nervous as she answered
"us, spencer" she explained thinly
"but-"
but us doesn't exist
"I told him the truth"
He frowned again,
He felt as if every inch of his body was on edge
"the truth?"
He noticed her eyes unfocusing a moment before coming back to his, so many emotions under them he felt like he couldn't properly see them.
"I told him I want to be with you 
I told him I've wanted to,
for a very long time"
She paused, and Spencer now noticed how her eyes were glistening.
"Spencer"
she said
"I told him that I love you"
Spencer stopped breathing.
every part of his body stopped.
even time stopped, as he stared at her.
Had she said that?
Had she really just said what he thought?
was he dreaming?
Was he dead?
" You both know of the bureau's policy" Hotch spoke, but he didn't really listen, his mind was frozen
"I have to admit this is not ideal, but I won't have one of my best agents leave just because of it" 
what?
"what?"
" I came here to resign from the FBI" She murmured
"you- you can't"
"She won't need to" Hotch said " This is not the first time the bureau will turn a blind eye. I can pull some strings "
He sighed
" I will allow this"
Spencer, once again, felt like he just died.
" Hotch" y/n exclaimed incredulously "are you- are you serious?"
He nodded solemnly 
"This, however, cannot interfere with your work, you will have to sleep in separate rooms when we're on a case, and I'll send you the paperwork you'll have to fill in for HR" He listed
"of course" y/n immediately agreed
Hotch looked between you, something looking like contentment flashing beneath his eyes
"but other than that, I'm happy for you" a hint of a smile emerged on his lips "I can't say this was much of a surprise"
"ok, I'll give you some time now, but we need you in the conference room in 5" he pointed at Spencer, before getting up to the door.
Spencer could only nod, and Hotch took it as a yes, and walked out.
The silence was so heavy Spencer felt crushed.
he turned to her, and she was already looking at him.
"you-" He started, getting interrupted
"I'm sorry"
she got up
"I'm so so sorry Spencer"
her voice was weak, like it was about to crack
"I-I was awful and I made a mistake, and I understand if you won't forgive me, I was stupid and cruel, but you have to know that everything I said- I meant it. I love you Spencer, and I hate myself for having done that to you"
She paused to take a breath as he stood up too.
"and-and I didn't mean to tell him about everything, I just came here to resign because I wanted to be with you, or at least try if you had been willing, but then he asked why and I told the truth because there I thought there was no point in hiding it anymore "
"I'm sorry" her voice was a whisper now
"I'm so sorry Spencer, I-I-"a tear rolled down his cheek.
He got in front of her
"y/n-" he wiped the tear away
"I'm sorry" she repeated
"y/n, I love you" he smiled, a soft chuckle fleeing his mouth "I-I I love you, and I'm not mad, I could never be mad"
"y/n the moment I saw you I had forgiven you"
she raised her head to meet his eyes.
"I love you too" she sniffled " I was scared, I was afraid of losing you but then- the moment I left your apartment I realized I couldn't go back to what it was before, I realized how much I wanted this"
He smiled, sheepishly, like a teenager, and she joined him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he placed his hands on her waist, both of their bodies feeling made for each other.
"I love you" she smiled, standing on her toes to ghost his mouth
"I love you" he kissed her,
all the life came back to his body, as everything set into place.
He beamed as he leaned away
"y/n" he said "you have no idea how long I've dreamed of this"
*Thank you so much to everyone who has read and enjoyed this series, you're amazing. that said, you'll never catch me writing a series again lol, too much commitment I definitely don't have*

Kind of controversial but why are people acting like TSATS is Rick Riordan's first queer book? Like Magnus chase who? Trials of Apollo?
Warning ⚠️: Long rant under the cut. It's not very tsats friendly so please scroll if you don't want to read.
Idk it just feels like sometimes the fandom doesn't really view queer rep as valid unless it centers around romance. Completely biased as a toa fan but toa had so much rep. The bi mc, the gay geysers, the kindly old lesbian couple taking in unwanted kids, ace characters, characters struggling with comphet, characters crushing on people of the same gender and none of it being taken as something out of the ordinary. It just wasn't centred around romance.
The toa fandom has always been pretty small and chill with activity spiking everytime a new book releases. Then suddenly when Tower of Nero came out there were so many people. So what changed, what brought in so many people who weren't even interested in the premise of the book?
It was Solangelo.
I like solangelo as much as the next person (minus the year of seething rage when they were dominating the toa tag) but the way that people discount an amazing series about change, growth and overcoming abuse with some of the best casual queer rep I've seen and consider the only thing of value being a minor mlm couple with a few pages of screentime leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
Magnus chase is another book. Alex fierro isn't perfect rep (stop calling Alex slurs holy fuck) but it was revolutionary to have a gender fluid character in a children's series and this was back in 2016. Fierrochase is pretty popular but I wonder sometimes if Alex and Magnus would be as popular as they are if they never got together. They're still not as popular as solangelo but in good faith that might be because people became too fatigued to read mcga.
It just feels sometimes that these books are viewed as lesser queer books just because there's no shipping or it's not a (I'm so sorry don't kill me ) heart stopper esque gay couple. Idk if im taking this too personally as a potentially ace *slides nsfw art under desk* person whose gender is wonky but it's just my thoughts on this.
But I just feel like the focus should be on the countries banning and censoring the book instead of people with perfectly valid criticism of it. There are so many of his books with queer rep and most of the criticism I've seen have come from LGBTQIA+ people that like these books or at least put the same energy into scrutinizing them too. Idk why people assume anything bad said about TSATS was a bad faith reading done out of homophobia.
All that being said, tsats is definitely being marketed as the first queer book. It's banned not very accessible in my country despite all the others going through- which sucks. It's being treated like the first queer focused book Rick has written and it's coming out at a bad time for everyone but especially people in the US apparently. So I understand why any reactions would be taken as the fandoms reaction to the first queer book.
So who is more homophobic? The person who doesn't like a queer book or the person who holds a queer romance as the pinacle of queer? The answer : no clue man it's complicated and it's sucks that we're all so on edge in these trying times that we automatically assume the worst. There's nuance that a smarter person than me can elaborate on but I am not he.
Sorry for writing something so divisive during pride month but it is a conservation that should be had and what better month than one celebrating queer identity and representation. Hope everyone has a great pride month and stays safe.
Peace and love ✌️🏳️‍🌈💜

magentamee has me blocked. Idk why cause idr interacting with them ever but I wanted them to know I agree with their post wholeheartedly...also for whatever caused the block sorry. Just sending this in so they can see it and know I agree with their post. Also wondering if they are really getting anons about questionable mutuals cause if so that is def a witch hunt and I blame the bylerconfessions blog for this witch hunt. They keep answering and talking about the subject. If they really disliked the subject as do their anons they'd just stop talking about it.
This tag used to be so gatekept by the motherfucking antis and I refuse to go back to keeping it tame just because some pearl clutchers want to have a discourse about it and witch hunt.
i will just say that blocking tends not to be personal and many people are moved to block very easily so don't take it to heart!!! everyone should curate their feeds however they want. so don't over-stress about it!
the anons about questionable mutuals is insane to me like as you said that is definitely a witch hunt and so extra and unnecessary. and i 100% agree a lot of it is fueled by bylerconfessions pretty gleefully attacking spicybylerpolls and anyone who engages with it. the whole thing makes me kind of hate this fandom when i was finally getting over it and feeling like people were being more accepting.
i agree though - i'm certainly not going to go back to how it was in 2022 where we just listened to grumpy 14 year olds complaining about everything that made them personally uncomfortable. that's how byler twitter devolved into cancelling fic authors for writing practice kissing fics. that's how byler artists got dogpiled and harassed for liking nsfw art from an entirely different fandom. that's how we scared off half the talented creators in this fandom. i simply refuse to return to that level of fear and conservatism so i hope this backlash doesn't scare folks off when we were finally getting to a point where we could have meaningful conversations about this shit.
