working with mike (part two)
(hello here is part two, sorry for the long delay urm, there is going to be like two more parts to this because i didnt get to put everything i wanted in this and it was already too long lol, so keep your eyes out for the next part/s)
part 1
you wake up a few hours later, finding yourself completely like latched onto mike’s waist and he’s got his arm around you, his head hanging down, almost on top of yours. it takes you a few seconds but it suddenly hits you and you realise you two are cuddling.
you can’t help but stare at him a little, he’s beautiful. you manage to carefully detach yourself from mike, immediately missing his warmth. he doesn't stirr one bit, he is knocked tf out 
mike wakes up about an hour later all groggily, and he blinks himself awake and looks down, lowkey (highkey) wanting you to still be there but you aren't :( but there's a note on the coffee table in front of him. ‘goodmorning for when you wake up! the mechanic called and i’ve gone to sort out my car. i’ll give you back your clothes later, see you at work! - y/n. <3’  even though he’s half asleep, he lights up a little reading the little love heart you left. 
someone's broken into the pizzeria and destroyed it :( vanessa calls you explaining everything and you decide to go into work a little earlier than usual. glass everywhere, old arcade games all mashed up and just broken/destroyed shit everywhere. it’s gonna be a long night. 
after a quick ass whooping from vanessa (not literally, she’s just pissed) she sets off and you get to work quickly. once again putting on the old 80s music mix tape and putting it to play through the speakers, you get to work picking up all the old toys and concessions thrown across the main dining area. 
mike pulls up with abby, and he see’s the lights on, noticing you’re a bit earlier than usual. anyway, they sit in the car, mike explaining rules to abby, “is y/n going to be there?” even the mention of your name has mike feeling something, “uh, yeah, y/n w-will be there” “i like y/n” abby’s smiling, looking at the pizzeria sign. 
you’re busy sweeping up glass, music in the background, and you suddenly hear a “woahhh” you turn around and it’s mike and abby. a smile lights up your face, “hey guys” you were not expecting abby but probably babysitting problems and you weren’t going to snitch to your boss about it. definitely not.
both mike and abby are looking at the damage, and mike looks at you, “oh yeah, vanessa called me earlier and some kids or something broke in earlier this morning” he nods and then he notices you’re actually still wearing his sweatshirt (his heart!!!!)
when abby is all set up, asleep in the office, mike walks out the security office to find you picking up chairs and moving them. “im sorry, for bringing abby, max wasn’t picking up and i couldn't leave her-”  “mike dont stress it, it’s all good” and you smile at him and that kind smile always flutters his heart !! hes got big big crush
you guys spend the next few hours cleaning up as much as you can and the conversation just flows between you (you do most of the talking but he likes listening to you talk) and you make him chuckle a few times and aHHH 
when the two of you are cleaning the kitchen area, your palm grazes a piece of glass, and you let out a little ow looking at your hand, nothing dangerous just a little pool of blood, mike stands up INSTANTLY from picking up something from the ground, “what happened? You okay?” “yeah, just nicked by hand on glass i think” and he strides over to you instantly, holding your hand looking at you palm. he’s very gentle holding your fingers, shining a flashlight. you’re desperately praying the heat in your face isn’t smeared all over your cheeks in heavy blush thank god for dim lighting.
medic mike to the rescue (even though you've assured you’re fine) and you guys are sat at the kitchen counters, on cheap plastic chairs, a first aid box on the table next to you. he’s got your hand in his, and a pair of tweezers. he manages to get the glass out, you hiss a little in pain and he’s focused on getting the glass out so he mumbles (not carelessly hes just focused) “sorry”, “its okay!”, “all done”. 
“where’d you learn to be such a good medic?” “abby” you laugh at his response as you look at your hand, and mike’s just looking at you, staring. something about your smile and the fact you’re in his sweatshirt, it’s doing things to him. (not horny things you pervs) too early for love but something nearly as strong is there. 
“you’re a very good person mike. I hope you know that” your voice is gentle as you look up from your hand, and make eye contact with him, the warmest smile on your lips. no ones praised him like this in such a long time. being constantly told he’s a failure or feeling like the whole world is against him, hearing something so genuine from such a genuine person, he’s unsure how to answer. “there’s a lot of people who would disagree” and begins to tidy up the med stuff, looking away from him but you stop him and reach out, grabbing his hand, he slowly looks at you. “no, mike, i really mean it. you’re a wonderful big brother, and you helped me this morning, you even gave me your clothes, you made sure i was safe mike, y’know. no one’s been this nice to me in a long time”
man doesn't know how to or when to kiss he hasn’t been kissed like since his first kiss when he was probably around 16? you’re gonna have to instigate. he’s silent, looking at you, processing your words. your chairs are already close together, knees touching. you slowly bring your hand up to his cheek, and lean forward and your lips meet softly. !!!!!!!!
its quick and you pull away, he’s flustered!! you look into each other's eyes before he kisses you back, a bit hungrier, more movement and he’s got his hand on the wrist that’s holding his cheek. 
the deepen kiss lasts for a good 30 seconds, before he pulls away and you two are just staring at each other, and there's a small smile on your face and he’s speechless (in a good way!!!!!!!) “i-i should probably go check on abby” “yeah, of course” your voice is soft as is your smile, and he goes off to check on abby. you give him the benefit of the doubt, probably the most romance he’s been involved in for at least 8, maybe 10 years? he’s awkward at it, and you’re not upset he goes to check up on abby, there’s a smile on your lips. although the second he’s out of your view, your eyes widen “oh my god” whispering, realising you just kissed mike !!!

random headcanon about some of the jjk boy’s during sexy time
warning: smut, 18+, mdni, aged up characters, daddy kink, size kink, anal sex, crying, oral(f/m), unprotected sex, fluff, slight angst if you squint, loss of virginity, and injury to reader but nothing serious
——————————————————————————
gojou saturo
Tumblr media
“that time you sneezed” + “caught a cramp so bad he almost passed out”
- sex with gojou is always fun
- hate to admit it but it’s true
- it’s unpredictable yet super exciting
- don’t tell him that tho or else he’ll never shut up
- your back was arched against the sturdy kitchen table with your legs bent and pushed to your chest
- gojou was thrusting into you just right, hitting that spot deep inside you that had you screaming
- “yes, yes. right there d-dont stop!”
- “right there princess? am i hitting your special spot?”
- “you don’t have to answer that, i know i am~”
- “go on, scream louder for daddy, let em’ know just how good im making you feel”
- if you weren’t too focus on cumming you would of told him to shut the fuck up but he was making you feel good
- and you learned a long time ago that he doesn’t need to hear it from your lips to know, your body spoke for you
- the knot in your belly was growing tighter
- you were so close, your cries letting him know
- gojou glances down at you, watching your tits bounce with each thrust as your face twisted in pleasure
- “aww y/n-chan, i wish you could see the faces you’re making”
- gojou grips a hand to your face, squishing your cheeks together hard
- “soo cute princess~” he coos mockingly, watching as your face scrunched up, eyes going watery and nose twitching
- you felt it right then, the small tickling sensation in your nose that had you breathing picking up
- mustering up all your strength, you pulled your face out of his palm and turned away
- before he could say anything cheeky, you were letting out sneeze, after sneeze, after sneeze, after sneeze-
- if gojou wasn’t so balls deep inside you he would of thought it was cute
- but no, your body tensed and jerked with each sneeze that it had you clenching so tight around his cock he couldn’t even move
- the loud whine and groan pulls you out of your sneezing frenzy as you watch gojou’s body shaking, all movement coming to a halt was he tilts his head back
- that’s when you felt it, rope after rope of his hot cum painting your walls
- followed by a loud, painful yelp coming from him as he pulls out swiftly, gripping the back of his thigh
- you sat up quickly but was forced back down from his body weight alone as you feel him go slack against you
- “saturo?” you tapped him but didn’t get a response for a few moments until he shot his head up
- “oh my god, i just came so hard i got a cramp and almost passed out!”
- you couldn’t stop yourself from laughing at that as he pouts a little, hands rubbing up and down your sides
- “it wasn’t my fault you were squeezing my dick so tight I couldn’t stop myself”
- “am I hearing the great gojou saturo has no self control?”
- you were only teasing but he took that as a challenge as he gripped your legs, pulling them up and onto his shoulders, his dripping tip rubbing against your folds
- “gojou wait, i need to-need to clean my nose!!”
- he waste no time and pushes his length back inside you, ready to punish you for thinking he was weak
- “leave it, you look cute with a runny nose anyways princess~”
- your face was covered in tears, snot, and his cum by the time he was down with you
—————————————————————————-
megumi fushiguro
Tumblr media
“cumming way to fast” + “that time he accidentally got it in your eye”
- being a sorcerer was stressful asf
- he was exhausted literally all the time and getting injured left him bed bond for most days
- megumi barely had time to even relax
- but that’s what you were there for
- your weren’t one to brag or anything but you thought you were good at sex
- and megumi always made sure to tell you just how good you felt
- weather it’s your pussy squeezing him or the tight feeling of your throat wrapped around his throbbing length
- so to say that you felt a wee bit cocky the first time he came just seconds after bottoming out of you would be an understatement
- but you made sure to comfort him when you notice the pout and frustrated look on his face
- “that’ll never happen again” he mumbled out before cleaning you up
- but it does happen again
- about three more times actually
- and every time he grew more and more pissed at himself
- he was stressed! you knew that so you didn’t knock him if you didn’t finish
- you would tell him that it was ok
- “these kind of things happen gumi’”
- “you’re working yourself too hard baby :/“
- “let me help you relax, pls”
- expect he was never relaxed after cumming so quick inside you
- honestly, you were surprised that he could still get it up from all the stress he carries around
- finally done with finishing first every time, megumi made it his mission to get you right
- which is why he was kneeling between your legs, skirt lifted up with your panties stretched and pulled to the side as he feast on your cunt
- and you were a mess because it has been awhile since you got off and only megumi could make you see stars
- he had you spread wide for him, licking and sucking on your swollen clit that had you moaning just for him
- “ahh megumi please~” you don’t even know what your begging for but he does
- thick fingers thrusting in and out you had you gripping the sheets while your thighs tremble
- tale tale sign that you’re about to cum so he takes his fingers from out of you
- before you could whine at the loss, he’s soon thrusting his tongue inside your weeping pussy, ready to catch everything you give him
- “gumi i-im gonna cum for you!”
- “do it, cum for me kitten, cum right on my tongue”
- your body shook as you cum around the stiff muscle of his tongue, thigh squeezing around his head as you grip and pull on his hair hard
- he lets you come down, pressing kisses along your thighs before he stands up, stripping himself out of his clothes
- switching spots, you kiss along his stomach before reaching for his throbbing cock
- giving small licks against the tip to catch his precum dripping as he groans
- your mouth waters and you don’t wait a second longer before you took him in your mouth
- bobbing your head up and down, moaning when you feel him thrusting slowly in your mouth to match your rhythm
- you were just getting started when your eyes meet his right as you take him to the back of his throat
- big mistake
- the hand that has a grip your hair grows tight as he cums down your throat with a loud groan
- it caught you off guard and you didn’t have much time to prepare for his large load
- you pull off his length with a cough, he’s cum dripping from your lips as his load finishes on your face
- megumi hearing you gasping loudly brings him back to earth when he sees your head slight bent with one of your eyes squeezed shut
- “y/n?” calls as you hiss, shooting him a small glare is when he sees why
- “your cum got in my eye megumi.”
- “i-im sorry ba-“
- “dont just stare get me a towel!!”
- after cleaning you up and feeding you, megumi laid on top of you as you cuddle him closer
- he apologized more than enough you’re gonna have to give him kisses to settle him down
- “it’s ok honey, i still thought it was hot.”
- megumi could only groan, pouting as he watch you grin
- “you could say that i didn’t see it coming, huh huh?”
- megumi groaned once more as he buries his face into your neck
- yeah he definitely wasn’t going to let that happen again
————————————————————————————————————————itadori yuuji
Tumblr media
“that time it was your first time” + “was that a mouth on the side of his cheek?”
- bby boi
- you can’t really say what sex is truly like with yuuji
- since you’ve never had it with him because you were a virgin
- and he was fine with that, he’ll wait for as long as you liked
- the first time it almost happened was back in him dorm during his 3rd year
- you both talked about it and agreed to have your first time be together so a week later, yuuji had the perfect night planned for you
- he really pulled out all the stops
- we’re talking warm scented candles, rose petals, soft music playing in the background and your favorite take out
- it was actually really romantic ngl
- after dessert you found yourself laying back on his bed, making out with such passion it left you feeling buzzed
- everything was slow, both your movements gentle when taking off each other clothes
- giggling and kissing the nerves away
- yuuji reached for you bra, getting it undone with easy
- his eyes in your body from your breast down to your thighs rubbing together, pretty pink panties covering center
- “you’re so beautiful baby” he whispers
- it was moment were you took each other in before you reached for his hand, bringing it up to where you wanted him to touch you first
- your eyes closing shut once you feel his warm hand squeezing and caressing your breast, gasping softly when you feel his thumb brushing over your nipple
- his lips leaving yours before kissing down to your neck had you feel needy
- the room filling with sounds of your pleasing sighs and his heavy breathing
- all of it cut short by the sound of a low rugged voice
- “what are you waiting for? just fuck her already”
- your eyes shot open and you couldn’t stop the loud scream from your lips
- because why the fuck was there a mouth on his cheek and an eye under his eye??!?
- once you pulled the sheets over your naked body did yuuji realize what had happened
- he slaps a hand over his cheek so hard he knocked himself out of bed
- ok so maybe he didn’t tell you everything about why he was at the academy and in hindsight, he probably should of told you everything before he had you naked
- after calming you down and getting a ice pack does he tell you about how he ate an ancient cursed finger and now there is a very powerful curse living inside of him
- it was definitely hard for you to wrap your head around this information because you weren’t a sorcerer, you didnt see demons or cursed things or even knew about those kind of things
- so yeah, you were a bit freaked out, a little upset and needed sometime to think so you left
- yuuji understood and gave you as much time as you needed but he was literally dying on the inside without his baby
- he was mopey, quiet, and just overall sad to be around because he missed you so much
- finally after a few days you reached out and invited him over to your place
- tear was shed and yuuji apologizing profusely
- “im sorry y/n i love you so much, i dont want to lose you”
- “you’re not going to lose me yuuji, i love you to much for that to happen just promise me no more secret mkay?”
- he agreed with a kiss that quickly turned heated and you were back in your room
- “he’s not going to..ya know?”
- yuuji quickly shutting it down because “nope, him and i have a deal, he won’t be coming out when it’s just us, i promise”
- that’s enough to put you at ease and soon enough, clothes were thrown off and you two were finally connected
- yuuji thrust were gentle, making it easier for you to get used to his size
- his fingers rubbing circles on your clit left your body shaking and your pussy clenching around him
- and when you both cum at the same time, you’re gripping and holding each other tight
- yeah he may have shedded a tear or two when he came it was just that good
- aftercare king where he cleans you up and cuddles, whispering ‘i love you’s and soft kisses
- “promise me you won’t die yuuji”
- there’s a pause before you feel his lips kiss your forehead
- “im not going anywhere baby, i love you”
- he promised no more secrets but right now he can’t tell you what will happen the day he finds that last finger
- but for now, he’s content with just holding you until then
———————————————————————————————————————
aoi todo
Tumblr media
“that time you slapped him” + “he literally blew your back out”
- the time you’ve seen todo first time was shirtless
- you were terrified and turned on because what the fuck?
- no seriously, what the fu ck¿!
- dude is massive
- like was it even legal to be that massive?
- and when he dropped his pants for you the first time, you straight up walked out the room because there ain’t no way in hell
- “that thing is not going anywhere near my pussy”
- “please babygirl, just the tip?”
- it took a very, very long time before you even allowed that
- not even when your mouth watered or your pussy went purr
- his cock was just too big
- but after awhile you kinda got used to him once you realize all your insides were still in tact
- you’ve had some sex mishap, that was much was a given since this is todo we’re speak off
- you slapped the shit out of him one time when you heard him moan some idols name while he had his dick down your throat
- you didn’t let him touch you for almost a month
- he learned his lesson quick tho
- or that time he was fucking you standing up
- legs hanging over his broad shoulders while his hands held a tight grip on your ass bouncing you up and down on his thick cock
- you were three rounds in, body hot and covered in sweat
- the room filled with sounds of your moans, his deep grunts and the sickly wet squishing sound of your pussy
- todo was abusing your whole, having just made you squirt all over his cock had sent him into a frenzy, his pace picking up at a new speed
- until he took a step forward, his foot slipping out from under him, sending him falling back but he was quick enough to reach out to grip the dresser behind him
- but not quick enough to stop the stacks of manga from falling on top of you both
- one word to describe sex with this beefy man: passion
- everything he did in bed was always him trying to show just how much of a man he is and that only he could satisfy you
- whenever he was done with you, your limps were sore and achy
- it felt like you ran a marathon then swam six miles and back
- meanwhile he barely broke a sweat
- todo always made sure you were left spent and satisfied
- no matter when or where
- and he saw you bending over, getting a small peak of the underside of your perfect ass, he had to have you
- so that’s how you found yourself in a small closet, it could fit two people comfortably
- but todo made up at least three on his own so there was barely any room but that doesn’t stop him from fucking your ass
- you held your upper half up by gripping onto the shelve in front of you as his large hands grip and squeeze your plush ass
- “thats it babygirl, doing so good”
- it felt so good taking him like this, his heavy balls slapping against your soaked cunt while he pounds his throbbing length in and out your ass
- hands slapping each cheek before leaving you spread open to watch him fuck you
- “f-fuck so tight!” he thrust harder, pushing your body forward “you love when i fuck you with this big cock don’t you?”
- you move a hand back to try and slow his movement but he only grabs it and keeps his held to your back
- “too much d-daddy..s’ too big!”
- but he keeps going, grinning wildly when he heard that
- todo stretched you out good for him and it was still to much cock for you
- your cries and moans bounce off the walls, your grip on the shelf growing loose the faster he went
- he sends another hard spank against your ass before his fingers found your needy clit
- pinching and rubbing quick circles around the bud had you gushing
- “oh fuck yeah, you filthy girl cumming from getting your ass fucked? so dirty”
- your body shakes as you tongue rolls out your mouth, panting and whining like a bitch in heat
- “fucking needy, perfect girl just for me” he growls, his hips picking up speed as he chases his high
- “t-to..slow..down”
- you could barely get any words out, your brain slowly turning to mush as you become nothing but a toy for him to cum inside
- he was going feral, loving that he can turn you so dumb from just his cock alone
- the sound of wood cracking catches your attention before the shelf you’re gripping breaks, sending the front of your body forward down
- the scream you let out make todo halt all his movements, his big hands and large arms holds your middle to keep you up right as you start to sob
- “w-what’s wrong?”
- “can’t move…it hurts!!”
- white hot pain shoot through your back as you body goes stiff
- five hours later you’re being wheeled out the hospital with strict orders to not leave the bed
- you made todo swear not to tell anyone about this and swore on takada’s life that he wouldn’t tell
- but when yuuji comes to visit and ask what happened, here comes this big guy
- “it was my dick, my dick put her in a wheelchair brother!!”
- please slap him again sis

Blood Bound
Tumblr media
header image courtesy of one of the biggest Lady Dimitrescus simps i’ve ever met.
This is the first and last time i will ever write anything so be prepared. Also i’m not the best writer so some parts might be very rushed and sloppy sorry. Idk how to post on tumblr either and also i’m on mobile so sorry for weird formatting issues :)
A little background I wrote this as a presentation thing with my friends so it’s not gonna be good. Also this is the first time i’ve ever written smut so sorry i guess?
Warnings: NSFW of course, uh very kinky probably, swears in this warning, f! Reader, reader is a vampire pls let me have this, IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE STORY PLEASE LET ME HAVE THIS, vampires need sleep i guess idk just fuck let me live, fluff at the end bc im a whore for that kinda shit, probably ooc for Lady Dimitrescu but like idk her character other than dom mommy milkers so, blindfolds, binding arms? what is it called??
All of your senses returned to you very slowly. You didn’t know where you were, or why someone had taken you in the middle of the night, but for some reason you felt safe. You could feel the cold damp floor of the cell you could only presume you were in and you could smell rotting flesh and the wet metal that surrounded you. You could hear the dripping noises of falling water coming from somewhere in front of you, and the sound of footsteps slowly approaching. The only sense you never regained was your sight. You could feel the soft fabric that covered your eyes and made a reasonable guess that your host for the evening had blindfolded you.
“Have you awoken my darling?” Ah, speak of the devil. The person that belonged to that sultry voice was one Lady Dimitrescu -- the countess that you have met with several times before and every encounter has somehow ended the same way. You remember the first time you met the 9 foot tall woman. It was 1920, and as the child of a wealthy eastern european count, you were required to attend the galas that were thrown. During one such occasion you happened to run into Lady Dimitrescu, and had unfortunately uncovered her secret. At the first sign of danger a normal person would have run, but who were you to judge? After all, aren't you two essentially the same?
That was the first night, and the begging of a long mutual relationship between the two of you. A whirlwind of passion, anger, misery, and lust was the only way you could describe these past decades you have spent with her. Everytime you left her embrace, you couldn’t help but long to be in it again no matter how angry you were. This on again off again relationship had persisted through generations, and you would be damned if you would give up now. She had introduced you to your friends who had shared the same beliefs, and made you feel welcomed. She had been there during the downfall of your family's power, and she was there for every milestone. You had to admit, your life was tied to this woman if you had liked it or not. Every night you spent apart was agony, and every moment you spent together was bliss. You have eternity, so what's the use in spending anymore time apart?
This night felt different. It wasn't normal for her to seek out your company, so why has she all of a sudden? And since when has she been this gentle? If it was like any other night she would have already had her way with you and thrown you to the side. Tonight was definitely different.
“My dear turn towards me.” She demanded, and you obeyed, crawling your way to the direction you think she might be in. You found her in the corner of what you think is a cell. You could tell she was sitting in a chair so you sat on your knees in front of her.
“Ah, isn’t this better darling? Everything is as it should be.” You could hear the sound of her claws extending -- and then you felt as she dragged the nail across your cheek, across your lips, and down to your chin.
“My love, head up. This way I can see your beautiful face.” She spoke as she lifted your head with her sharp claw. “Ah this beautiful face, the one that has tormented my dreams for far too long. Isn’t this much better?” You nod, what does she mean tormented her dreams? Over these past years you understood that this relationship was not one out of love, so you never gave yourself hope that she might feel the same as you. Even as her words sounded like a declaration of longing, you refused to dream. An intimate relationship with her, even one without love, was enough for you. As long as you could remain at her side for the rest of eternity you would be happy.
She sighed, “No matter, tonight is somewhat of a celebration, and as I am in a good mood I have sought you out. So where shall we start?” You hear the claw retreat back into her hand and her start to stand up, towering over you. “Lets get you out of these clothes hm?” She grabs you by the neck forcing your body down to the ground, cool gloved hands start roaming all over your body, loosening and untying the thin clothes you wore to sleep that night. “Ah beloved, how I had missed this.” Her mouth descended onto your neck where you could feel the warmth of her saliva as she sucked on that tender spot. You whimpered, moving closer into the bigger woman, although this isn't the first time she has marked you like this, it still sends tingles down your spine. Your hands started to roam as Lady Dimitrescu moved her way from your neck to your chin, and finally to your mouth: enveloping you in a deep kiss. Your back arched to be closer to the woman on top, deepening the kiss. You could taste the reminisce of blood and the sweet wine she had been brewing for years. Tonight really was an important celebration. You couldn’t control yourself as both of your bodys moved in tandem, your hands moving down her back.
She pulled away, leaving you gasping for air, “Now now my dear, you know the rules. No touching without permission. Now let's get these hands out of the way hm?” You could feel as the warmth from her body moved away, leaving you semi-naked on the cold floor. You couldn’t tell where she had gone, nor how long she was gone for -- every minute without her felt like agony anyway.
Her footsteps finally came back, “On your knees,” she demanded, and you moved without hesitation. “Both arms behind you.” Again you moved without thinking, obeying every word. You could feel as some soft fabric was slowly wrapped around both of your wrists and then tied, you could guess that it was the same silk as the one around your eyes.
“There, isn't that better darling? Now lay back down, I will loosen you up.” A claw extended and you felt as the rest of your already loose clothes were torn off, including your slick underwear. “Hm?” she laughed, “Already ready for me?”
“Yes mistress.” you nodded, spreading your legs slightly.
“Darling you know I love it when you call me that.” Gloved hands traced their way from your neck, to your breasts, down your stomach, and finally rested on your thighs. “Hm? What should I do darling? Shall we continue?”
“Yes mistress.” You begged, wiggling your body hoping for her hand to end up in that place you wanted it. You begged for her to give you release, begged for the thing you missed the most over these years.
“Hm? Shall I grant you your requests? Maybe you should beg some more first.” Her hands suddenly moved, finding their way back up to your breasts, hands playing with your nipples. You squirmed, wishing that the woman would give you what you wanted.
“Please mistress,” you begged, pushing yourself onto her thigh. Your cries fell on def ears as she continued to play with you. You started grinding on her thigh, pleading with your mistress to take you. “Please Lady Dimitrescu, please help me.”
You felt her hot hands finally leave your chest, “Fine, I shall grant this one request to you my beloved.” Suddenly you felt a gloved finger push its way inside you, forcing itself deeper in, her other hand went back to playing with your breasts. You gasped, moaning as she started moving around slowly inside. You tried to move yourself down onto her hand, allowing sweet relief. Her unoccupied hand made its way up to your neck and she started choking you.
Her tempo picked up as another finger made its way inside. The sounds coming out of you were ungodly, she had you crying out in pleasure. “Do you like that my dear?” she called out from on top of you. You could only nod your head and cry out something akin to the word yes. She was moving even faster and you could feel the pressure inside of you about to explode, you begged your mistress to please release you, but she wouldn’t budge moving faster than she had ever moved before. You were moaning and screaming in pleasure, you silently thanked whoever was up there that you were in a castle otherwise you would probably have a noise complaint by now. Her movements had you writhing around, grasping for anything with your bound hands. You brought your legs and wrapped them around her, opening yourself up for her. You were desperately grinding against her hand, your walls tightening before you could come.
“Eager now aren't we, well my love shall I let you come?” Although you were blindfolded you could see her smirking face. You called out between moans, crying for her to let you. You were begging and pleading, you must have looked so pitiful but in that moment you wished for nothing more than to come undone by this woman's hands.
“Lets see how loud you can be.” You felt your walls close down on the fingers inside of you as you screamed out in pleasure, the pressure finally being released. You could feel your juices coming out as orgasms wracked through your body. The pleasure was too much for you to handle and before you knew it you passed out.
***
You awoke in a very comfortable bed, the feel of the satin sheets under you cooled your body and sent shivers all over. You had realized that both the blindfold and your arm restraints were gone, and your body had been cleaned up from last night's activities. You were wearing a thin nightgown that only accentuated how cold it was in this room. As you looked around you finally saw the face of the sleeping woman next to you. Strange, you had never awoken next to her, no matter how vigorous the previous night's activities were she always left before you woke up. You giggled quietly to yourself, last night must have been a special night indeed. You saw sunlight streaming in from the large windows on the northern wall of this bedroom casting itself onto her. She had never looked more beautiful in your long life. You reached out your hand and started softly stroking the woman's face and hair, careful not to wake her. You traced your way from her forehead down to her lips, pausing there slightly. Last night was different, it wasn't bad, it was in fact very good. It was just something you never thought would happen for the both of you. As you look at the face of sleeping Lady Dimitrescu in front of you, you couldn’t help but wonder what your life would be like if you two had a different kind of relationship. Your thoughts were cut short when you felt two arms snake their way around you and suddenly you were pulled into the woman's arms.
“What are you doing awake so early my little dove? You should rest some more, last night must have been very taxing on your body.” Lady Dimitrescu spoke. You were shocked to say the least. Over the decades you have known the Countess, you have never been in her arms like this. This is what you had dreamt of for so long, wanting to feel true, romantic love from this woman, and now that you are here you felt as if you could cry.
And cry you did. Before you could stop yourself you felt the tears falling down your face and onto the clothes of the woman holding you.
“My beloved what is wrong?” Lady Dimitrescu frantically spoke as she tried to wipe the tears out of your eyes, “What is the matter? Please tell me.”
“It’s truly nothing,” you finally croaked out after minutes of sobbing. You must have looked ridiculous like this. How could you really think that she would love you like you love her. You are nothing compared to her.
“If you are crying then of course something is wrong. Please tell me darling, I hate to see you so sad.”
You hesitated. Was it really alright to tell her the thoughts that have plagued you for generations? You didn’t want things to change between the two of you. Even if you were just treated as a play thing, as long as you could stay with her you would do anything. “I love you. I have loved you for years, and you will never reciprocate how I feel. I am nothing to you other than a toy you can throw away at a moment's notice. But still I wish to stay by your side, even If I am nothing other than that. Don’t let my feelings change our relationship. I only want to stay with you.” The tears came back but you wouldn’t let them fall. You were stronger than that.
You felt her hold on you tighten as she brought you closer to her, lips brushing over your forehead and over your eyes. Her mouth moved around your face, kissing away your tears.
“Beloved who ever said I never felt the same way?”

hi! uh—sorry if this is confusing, it’s my first time making a request. uhm—i’ve just been feeling rlly down lately and was considering self harm. so, if it’s okay with u, can i request for tsukishima/sakusa/osamu (u can choose if doing all is too much) seeing their s/o with a fear of sharp objects about to self harm but not going through with it and them comforting their s/o? u dont have to do it tho if ur not comfortable with it, i just wanted to try asking :)
Characters: Tsukishima and Sakusa
CW: self harm, sharp objects
Genre: comfort
Word count: 1, 616
Summary: You've been struggling with thoughts of self harm, which then lead you to a fear of sharp objects. Your boyfriend notices and tries his best to help you.
A/n: your request wasn't confusing at all, don’t worry. So sorry I didn't get around to writing Osamu but I hope this is alright. if you ever need someone to talk to im here, or you could request as much or as little as you want. Just remember self harm isn't the answer, alright? Remember you're loved <3
Tsukishima
Okay, so even though everyone says that Tsukishima doesn’t care or isn’t a good boyfriend to you that is a big fat lie and you know it. This boy is super observant. ESPECIALLY when it comes to you.
You’re his baby and the love of his life, and one way he shows his love to you is by paying attention to everything you do and acting accordingly. He’s usually subtle about it though. You shiver? Oh, look extra hoodie. Tense up when one of your classmates approaches the two of you? Oh no something came up with the team and you’re both required to solve it.
Slight rant aside, he notices immediately that something is wrong. It may take him a little bit to figure out what exactly but he’s looking into it immediately. By the end of the day, he’s checked with your friends if anything is bothering you, he’s found out whether or not you are behind on work or if school is stressing you out. But nothing.
Luckily for him, it was Friday, thus, he was coming over to your house after school (practice). Usually, he’d come over and do some homework then you’d watch a movie together and honestly you could use some affection right now.
When he arrived at your house you were already showered, dressed and waiting at the table to start your homework. He came in and placed a gentle kiss on your forehead and sat down across from you, he’d already changed into casual clothes after practice.
Tsukishima exalted deeply for the first time that day and let himself relax now that he was alone with you. He’d spent his entire day trying to figure out what was up since you’d been acting weird for a little while now and he was back to square one. Nobody he’d asked knew anything that might have upset you, and he’d asked a lot of people. More accurately he’d asked Yamaguchi to since he knew people found Tadashi less intimidating. However, he still hadn’t had any luck in narrowing down the issue.
You seemed to be focused on whatever work you where doing so he decided to do some of his own work and ask you about it during the movie. He pulled out his maths book and a pencil from his pocket to begin working on the algebra homework.
After around thirty minutes of working together with some lofi playing in the background and occasionally asking for help from one another, his pencil lead snapped in the middle of an equation. Slightly irritated, he went to his bag to retrieve a sharpener but couldn’t find his pencil case. Shit, he must have left it in his desk. Oh well, he won’t need it till Monday anyway.
  “Hey, Shortcake,” that stupid nickname he’d gave’ you made you look over to him “do you have a pencil sharpener? My pencil case is at school.” At the mention of a sharpener, you squeaked out no far too quickly. Okay, somethings up. He’s sure of it now. 
So he gently set down his pencil and placed one of his hands on yours. When you looked up and made eye contact you could see how concerned he looked. Though it isn’t just concern, there’s something soft and loving there too. It’s because of this that you just aren’t able to break the eye contact, even though you’d much rather check your house slippers for bits of dust. 
“Baby,” he starts softly, “I know somethings up. You’ve been different for a few days now. And as long as you’ve been in my class you’ve never forgotten your stationary. Do you want to talk about it? Or we could do something else if you want.” By now there were tears beginning to slowly roll down your cheeks and Kei had gotten up to wrap you up in a hug. “Come one baby.” he says as he guides you over to the couch to sit down.
Once he had you settled in beside him he started to rub gentle circles on your back and waited patiently for you to calm down enough to talk to him. Once you had calmed down a little you began to explain everything. From the thoughts of self-harm to avoiding anything sharp or dangerous just in case. And he just sat there and listened. All the while gently rubbing circles and patterns into your back. He listened to every word you said and took it all in making sure to give little nods or hums of acknowledgement, enough to let you know he was listening without interrupting you.
When you’d finally finished telling you everything he simply scooped you up in his arms and hugged you as tight as he could. “Baby, Y/n. I’m so proud of you. You’re so strong and I’m so glad you didn’t do anything.” he gently kissed the top of your head and whispered, “I love you so much.” 
You snuggled further into him and he turned the tv to your comfort movie, even if he didn’t love it or would much rather watch a documentary about dinosaurs.
Sakusa
Sakusa is another boy who people wrongly assume is a bad partner. I object. Although he is slightly more hesitant when it comes to physical affection in public he’s one of the best boyfriends you could ever ask for.
Generally, when the two of you hang out he has a routine to ensure there is no fear around germs and he can be as affectionate as he wants. You both take showers and change into freshly washed clothes when you arrive at either home before you spend time together.
Because of how naturally observant this boy is, and the number of showers he’s had to take at your house he has your shower products almost memorised. He knows what they are, what they do and where they go. Honestly when you’re running low on something he’s more likely to notice than you are. And of course, being the loving boyfriend he is, he’ll remind you to add it to your shopping list or even go shopping with you.
This mans love language is probably quality time or acts of service, so if there’s an opportunity to give you a hand or just spend time with you he’ll take it.
Today was just another day, well not exactly, Sakusa was coming to spend some time with you today, which honestly was not rare at all. You had both fallen into a steady routine of taking showers and changing before spending time together. He would never ask you to do it but you knew it made him more comfortable. Plus he far preferred your shower to the locker room one.
So as always he walks into your house, puts his bag on the table and walks to your bathroom to take a shower. When he’s in the shower he notices that your razor is missing from its normal spot. He thought that was a little bit odd. Mostly because he has never seen your razor missing before. Any time he noticed something was missing before it was always just running low on shampoo, or body wash or only having one bar of soap left.
It isn’t that weird so he just makes a note to himself to remind you about it later like he always does. Once he’s finished and changed into his favourite sweats and second favourite hoodie (you’re currently wrapped up in his favourite). He goes to your room and curls up beside you as you’re preparing to put on a movie.
By the time Sakusa had remembered what he needed to remind you of the movie had been playing for around 20 minutes. So he decides to just wait until after the movie to bring it up. With that decision made he just decides to focus on the movie and how you feel giving him cuddles.
After the movie was all finished and you and Omi where cleaning up, when he brought up the missing razor. “Hey baby, remember to add razors to your shopping list. Yours is missing” he mentioned as he placed your throw pillows back on your bed. He paused in the middle of fixing your pillows, that was not the reaction he expected. Something was up. When he turned around and saw you near tears he rushed over to check on you.
“Baby, talk to me whats wrong?” hes says in the most soothing voice he can muster when he reaches you. You dont respond, just crying a little harder and hugging him back. “Its,” you sniffled a little, “its nothing Omi. Ill be fine” you sniffled again trying desperately to pull yourself together.
Sakusa pulled out the handkerchief he kept for you in his pocket. And by the time you'd told him everything he was crying too holding you. "it's gonna be alright baby. I'm here, we're gonna get through this together."
You fell asleep holding together, knowing that you weren't alone. And wouldn't be as long as you have him and he isn't leaving any time soon

Hizashi Yamada - Cockatoo
📣 You guys totally didn’t plan on getting a cockatoo, or any pet for that matter. Y’all just moved into your new place for christ’s sake! 
📣 But after a visit to a lil exotic pet store downtown, your plans changed. And now you’re stuck with a bird with the intelligence of a toddler
📣 According to Yama, the bird just ‘called to him’ and by that, he means the bird literally screamed at him
📣 They’ve got the most bougie cage ever like MTV cribs hit them up. 
📣But he doesn’t spend too much time in there as you guys let him roam around the house all day until it’s time for bed or if you leave for a while
📣 If they’re not attached to Yama’s shoulder, you often find them waddling around the house, picking things up off of the floor and throwing them, and squawking at you when they want attention
📣 Sounds like someone else you know huh…
📣 Yama and the bird dance together so much omg. They do the lil head bobs together, he’ll blast some music for them and they go to town he even chirps along to the lyrics omg-
📣 He doesn’t even have to teach them words, they just pick them up on their own… and then never stop saying them… ever 
📣 ‘YEAHHHHH’ then from the other side of your home you hear another ‘YEAAHHHHH’
📣 Make it stop
📣 You taught them cuss words for the shits and giggles though
📣 Yama finds it funny too though because he’s got that 8-year-old sense of humor… you all do to be honest 
📣 But when the bird chooses to sit on your shoulder you bet your ass Yamada’s gonna fawn over the two of you for the next hour :’)

Aizawa Shota - Cat
💤 You guys already know…
💤 If he were to get any kind of pet it’d be a cat.
💤 They’re chill, independent, and sometimes want attention. Just how he likes it.
💤 Well… that’s how he thought that things should be but-
💤 BOY was he wrong
💤 After living together for quite a while, stalking animal shelter websites for the perfect cat, and finding the right one, you bring them home!
💤 When you met them at the shelter, they were a sweet lil baby with an aloof attitude that you both fell in love with
💤 But when you brought them home… They became an absolute crackhead.
💤 Forget having ANYTHING on the tables or countertops. It’s on the floor now thanks to them. Fuck your water glass, fuck those papers you were helping Aizawa grade, they’re gone! Shredded! Positively destroyed :)
💤 Forget having free hands, they’re literally attached to his side and won’t stop rubbing against his hands while he’s grading papers and such
💤 If you’re not watching his little dude/ette will try and eat food WHILE YOU’RE COOKING oh my fuckingf god
💤 Heaven forbid this dude tries to leave the room. They’ll ‘cry’ until he comes back.
💤 ‘Go to your other parent, they’ll give you attention.’ ‘mEEEOWWW’ ‘Oh my god fine come here.’
💤 Honestly though he really appreciates when they’re down to sleep. Their purrs and their cuddles are very appreciated
💤 And literally just imagine seeing them curled up on his chest while they sleep on the couch ;; im so somft

Eijiro Kirishima - Bearded Dragon
🏮 This man wants to get THE manliest pet of all,,, a bearded dragon
🏮 He probably saw one on a movie or something and immediately came to you like
🏮 ‘Okay but we neeeeed one just look at their lil beards!! And their tongues!!!’
🏮 You tell him to put it off for a bit, do some research, and see if he still wants one later
🏮 Homeboy is DEDICATED so he puts in the time and ofc he still wants one after the fact
🏮 After a good amount of time, he comes back with a books worth of reasons as to why you guys should get one and you’re honestly shocked
🏮 You just can’t say no to those eyes </33 so you oblige and go out and get one from an owner who’s surrendering it (Because we don’t support chain pet stores in this household)
🏮 You guys can’t pick a name for them so for the longest time they’re just called ‘the lizard’ or ‘little fella’ or whatever else you guys come up with
🏮 Anyways- he’s infatuated with them it’s so funny. He spends all of his freetime watching them get used to their new habitat like,,,, all of it. It’s 1am and he’s just watching it hang out and you’re like ‘Kiri if you love it so much then why don’t you sleep with it’ (not in that way ya nasty)
🏮 HE TAKES IT SERIOUSLY
🏮 Next thing you know he hops out of bed, brings them back and puts them between your pillows.
🏮 Lil homie’s just vibin there.
🏮 You’re done tbh but if Kiri’s happy then you’re happy <33
🏮 Absolutely lets it sit on his shoulders when he’s walking around the house
🏮 He has a leash for them and he takes them out during the warmer months
🏮 Dedicates a good portion of his day to clean out their habitat when need be
🏮 Their relationship is just so cute you can’t help but melt every time you see them together

HELLO BESTIE I am currently having Ralbert Brainrot and you're the best person go come to for this, obviously,, so PLEASE share! I would like to hear about ufc albert or youtuber race, or dancing partners!! I love them smm
HI YES HELLO USING THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO WRITE UFC FIGHTER AL PART 2 THANKS BABES
i just witnessed a literal crime and i’m Feeling The Rage (boxing judges at mma events can catch these hands) so here is. my brain on anger.
also the first half of this is pretty fight-talk heavy but the second half is more al/ralbert central so message me/send me an ask if i don’t explain something well enough <3
here is the ask i sent to @we-are-inevitable (thanks jac i’m in love with you mwah) and here is part 1 for this au if you haven’t read that one yet !!
also,,,,, this is fairly obvious. but trigger warning for violence/physical fighting, as well as blood. (it’s a rough gig y’all fjdhdb) oh and swearing but that’s pretty much just me LMAO
here i am, bein mad and writing ralbert. therapy time with chandler ig
OK SO
this is after his debut. duh. continuation
i think he’s probably 5 fights in with 5 wins. he’s been running people through, especially with four full camps after a short notice start, and he’s never even seen a decision in the ufc
let’s just say the hype train is moving FAST and it’s moving LOUD
everyone has to have those people that watch their fights just to see them lose, on top of the majority male fan base that have to have a little bit of toxic masculinity and homophobia in there
so there’s A LOT of people that are waiting for him and his hype train to get derailed. but there’s also a fair amount of fans, so you win some you lose some (the way i would die to see this be a real fighter pls)
now albert’s not always the most confident guy, and he’s never been cocky, but none of this shit gets to him. he’s got his coaches, he’s got his friends and he’s got race behind him. he knows he’s got the skills, and he’s got his support system, so who gives a shit what a bunch of cowards on the internet have to say?
and then they put him against someone known for his grappling and stamina. and the “it’s a wrap for dasilva!” bandwagon starts. it happens every time a rising striker and early knockout artist fights a well known grappler with any semblance of later round power (even if al has a background in wrestling and has gone 5 rounds and won outside of the ufc. it’s a bandwagon for a reason)
and it’s not Upsetting, it’s not really getting into his head in any way that’ll make him do worse, but it’s kinda pissing him off. which is bad for his opponent
the last person on earth you want to be fighting is an annoyed albert dasilva who thinks he has something to prove
he works his ass off in camp, and the press tour is a self-assured albert vs. a loudmouth who thinks he’s hot shit cause a few people on twitter think he’ll sweep
and, to be completely honest? it’s starting to look that way 2 rounds in.
it’s a 5 round fight, co-main event on a big card, and so far all al’s opponent has done is pinned him to the cage and kept him there. a few strikes worth anything - at least enough make al’s cheek bleed, no takedowns, which would at least give him some activity, and so submission attempts, so he can’t even gain any ground that way. he’s just- Stuck. and if THIS is how he loses, he’s gonna be pissed
the bell for the second round sounds, and you can actually see al’s chest heaving on camera as he walks to his corner - not because he’s tired or out of breath, but because he’s MAD, and fuck if he’s not going to do something about it
not only that, but he can not only see race and jack standing up by the cage - plus race’s expression, which is slightly annoyed and super anxious, which hurts his chest to think about - but he can hear them too
jack is yelling profanities, as per usual. he doesn’t that regardless of how the fight is going, but it’s less encouraging when you’re the one losing.
race though,,,, race isn’t really yelling, he’s more talking to himself than anything, but he’s close enough to cage and al knows him well enough to figure out what he’s saying. and if the muttered almost-prayers while he paces back and forth weren’t enough, the shiny gold engagement ring on race’s hand definitely is
round 3,,,, let’s just say it goes a little differently than the first 2 had gone.
he opens with a spinning back kick, of all fucking things, and that truly sets the pace
he’s the taller guy by a few inches, like usual, which makes his arms longer. the only reason crushing his against the cage worked is cause the guy he’s fighting cuts weight like a wrestler, so he’s easily got 20 pounds on albert come fight night
but once he finds his rhythm and starts throwing, he starts connecting too. he manages to stay out of range of his opponent and stay his comfortable distance to start t-ing off
this isn’t a one punch power ending. this isn’t a beautiful head kick, or a giant knee, or even just a clean right hook.
this is albert, who’s arms are starting to feel the 3rd round a little bit, hitting this guy with everything he has cause he refuses to lose this fight.
i mean- everyone watched him get up at the start of the round with a set jaw and a scary determined glint in his eye. he’s not a person you fuck with, and he’s definitely not a person you publicly ridicule before being locked in a cage to fight with
the guy he’s fighting is absolutely battered, but he manages to survive until round 4. the first of the championship rounds, something al’s never seen in a ufc fight before, and it feels like the arena is holding its breath
so when al comes out and does the same thing as round 3 to better results - fight ending results - everyone’s a little shocked, honestly
the commentary team’s in disbelief, cause albert is NOT a slow starter, regardless of what this fight would tell you, and the fact he managed a win at all, let alone such a phenomenal one, is fucking astounding
he gets his hand raised, obviously, but the really interesting part is the post fight interview
“albert, man, what changed between round 2 and 3? what second gear did you find?”
“bro, i just— it was pissing me off, honestly. i don’t come in here to get pinned down for 25 minutes. and, y’know, my team gave me good advice. i had all the pieces, straight from the jump, someone just had to force me to put them in place…”
and then he looks over at race, who gives al one of those half grin, half smirks and winks at him, and al just chuckles to himself and finishes answering the question
“the thing that really forced my hand is race. i won’t get cheesy on you, but watching someone who loves and supports you through everything panic cause he’s scared for you - it’s a big motivator. everyone would figure out a lot more of my motivations if they went and watched race’s expressions back instead of whatever the hell i’m doing in here. he’s always been the brains, i’m just the brawn.”
and that’s a better answer than anyone was expecting, plus he’s just had the fight of a lifetime that’s probably earned him a title shot, so he’s done soon after that and gets to have his little in-cage celebration
he hugs his team and jack, who razzes him a little bit as per usual, and makes some dumb quip about going over tapes later like he’s a coach. and then comes race
he hugs him, all tender and cute and also very sweaty cause That’s How It Works, and the camera’s focused on him, so they can tell they’re whispering back and forth. but there’s no mics on them, so what’s said is missed entirely on the audience, but it’s their usual cheesy, in love mess
“congrats, baby. i’m proud of you.”
“oh please. it was 90% you anyway. i meant what i said, it wasn’t just for the cameras.”
“i know that. i’m gonna have to get you back somehow for telling everyone to go back and watch my awful anxious expression. i’ll think of something.”
“i’m sure you will, sweetheart.”
and then al does that awful, adorable lil nose bump thing, and then kisses race. and then jack covers his eyes and whines until they stop like the actual 12 year old boy he is inside
and then they leave the octagon, race and al holding hands, and al throws his arm over jack’s shoulder and shoves his head down and pushes him, cause even though he was just in a literal cage match he’s still a roughhousing teenager at heart
and he’s got interviews and press shit that separates him from his people, and he’s gotta slide that bulletproof mask back down over all the happy and in love shit he’s feeling so he can not smile like an idiot on camera constantly
but every once in awhile he’ll catch jack giving him the finger and laugh before returning it below view of the camera
or he’ll catch race’s eye from where he’s standing behind all the studio lights and do a little wave under the camera and return the wink from earlier, and the unbothered fighter facade will crack a little bit
but he’s not completely convinced that’s such a bad thing
GOD THIS POST IS SO MUCH LONGER THEN I MEANT IT TO BE IM SORRY
but Yeah. Them.
i love this au a helleva lot more than i should but that’s Fine cause i’ve got thoughts for days on it

!Too Young To Feel Numb! (Kie x Reader)
Tumblr media
ATTENTION!! There are a lot of trigger warnings in this one! Including: drinking, drugs, talks of feeling alone, depression.
Summary: Y/n started smoking weed at the age of 8, It’s all she’d known; She grew up around it so it was normal for her to start super young, she told herself that’s the farthest she’d go...only smoking weed..never any hard drugs. She thought she could learn from her parent's mistakes, guess not. 
pairing: Kie x female!reader, Rafe x Platonic! reader, JJ x Sister figure! reader
Warnings: Substance abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts, marijuana Underage drinking,(reader is 15),
A/N: Alot of grammar errors because i dont feel like checking it so sorry....not really,hehe
---------
I use to think people were crazy for even thinking about doing anything harder than weed. Yeah...I was like 7 so it doesn’t count.”Yo you gonna babysit that shit or pass it, I mean...I have all day but  would love to do something besides wait for you to pass the blunt.” I rolled my eyes waiting for JJ to hand it to me.”Chill, what’s up your ass today?”
He finally passes it, after what felt like hours. I take a long hit before seeing he’s actually wanting me to answer his question.”Nothin. man, I’ve just got places to be.” I mumbled out hoping he wouldn’t start asking any further questions. He stares blankly awaiting me to pass it back, knowing I don’t share my feelings so he simply lays off. “Hey. You trynna go surfing today….whenever you’re done with your….things..?”
“Uhh, yeah text me and-” I’m cut off by the sound of my phone vibrating...Barry.
Barry:
Meet in twenty? I got extra today
I look up from my phone stuttering my words, and fumbling.“Uhm, I gotta go do something, but I’ll text you later to surf, yeah?” I say nodding towards JJ as I began walking out.”Uhm yea sure, hey-” I was already out the door.”-be safe.” he muttered to himself left wondering why I left so fast. On the way to my bike, I ran into Kie and Pope laughing about something before Kie began to make her way over towards me.
“Hey, Y/n! Heading out so fast, are we?”Kie pouted her lip out mimicking a whimpering sound.” heh, yeah sorry bub. I gotta go handle some things and I’ll be back later.” I peck her lips in a swift movement as well as pull up the front of her crop top, covering her exposed cleavage.”Those are my love,keep them covered” I wink at her. She laughs and heads inside after blowing me a kiss,that I catch and pretend to place in my heart..Wow im so whipped.
My thoughts cut off by a loud vibrating noise.
Barry:
You coming?
Read: 46 sec.ago
Me:
Omw now!
Read: just now
I hop on my bike heading over to Barry’s place knowing a shortcut I found a few days ago.
It only takes 10 minutes before i’m in front of his house walking up the steps of the porch.My clean oxygen is immediately replaced by the smell of cigarettes,weed,and...Is that burnt hair?I scrunch my face in disgust at the awful smells.”Aye look who it is!” Barry calls out after seeing my face, He’s standing beside..Rafe cameron.
Now...I’m not friends with Rafe but i also don’t exactly despise him.I babysat wheezie all summer last year,most the time he’d join..keep me company;I don’t think he knew i was with Kie but he’s not all bad.He’s helped me more times than I can count,only because i've done the same for him though.
“Yo waddup.I didn’t expect to see you here.” I share a short handshake with Barry and side hug Rafe,he seems unprepared for it so he stumbles a bit but eventually hugs back quickly.”uh yeah.just doing some..business” Rafe says avoiding eye contact,looking everywhere except my face.”anyway i'm gonna head out, i'll catch you guys later.” Rafe walks towards,im guessing his bike;I head inside following barry so i didn’t really catch what he drove in.
“So like I said I've got your usual ,and then I got a little extra something I thought you may like.”He continues on but I'm so wrapped up in the fact that I want to consume something soon,anything;I don’t know exactly what he's saying.”Sound good?” He asked “Uh what?sorry I zoned out a bit.”I shook my head pushing my long hair out of my eyes.”Look,Usually altogether this would be alot of money but considering I stole the pills,I'll spare you the oxy,wadda yuh say?”, “Yeah sure,80$?”
He nods his head holding his hand out as i hand him the money.He hands you a bag full of coke in a plastic baggy, along with the pills in its original container it was prescribed. “Ight,thanks man.Ill see you later next week!” I wave goodbye as I show myself out, shoving the ‘things’ I had bought into my bag and swinging it back on my back.
~Incoming call from:Bubbs<3
I instantly pick up not wanting to worry her.
I instantly hear the boys laughing and playing in the background,but wait for her to say something.”Hey baby, you heading back yet?” Kie questioned sounding bored of the childish boys we spend our time with.”Not yet,i promise im almost done,ask the boys if there's drinks at the chateau please.”She turns her head away from the boys asking what there is to drink besides sink water.
I hear a chorus of “We just stocked up”,”All good momma bird.” and other sayings coming from the overly hyper boys.”Did you hear that,or need me to repeat?” She hesitantly says, making sure I’m still listening ”Gotcha,I'm headed your way now,see you there” I say quickly hanging up without giving her time to respond.
I hop on my bike and drive towards…...the opposite of the chateau,instead deciding to go to the Camerons.I drive,stuck in thought of what ill do when i get there,not quite sure why i decided to come.I had been so lost in thought I didn’t realise I was suddenly at the Cameron residence. I park my bike and began walking up to the door,but before I can knock,Rafe walks up behind me.
“Y/n?” I swiftly turn around being scared for a minute before realizing who it was.”Oh!uhm. yeah...hey” I ‘smoothly’ say”what are you doing here?” he asks..The whole conversation was a blur and before I knew it I was walking up to his room to hang out.I sit on the bed laying back asking about what he wants to do.”I don't know,you came here,what'd you have in mind?” He asked curiously.”I'm not sure.” I snorted at my inability to maintain a conversation.
I dig into my bag as he starts up about how he broke his bed frame the other day, because he put too many boxes on the bed while getting rid of some old things. I finally found what I was looking for,the baggy of white powder.I lifted it up smiling widely.”Can I do this here or no?”I question,feeling my body begin to sweat at the thought of getting to snort the white powder.
“Uh,I mean.. yea sure,didn't know you did that kind of thing.. but I mean go ahead.” He rambles. He stares into space as I do a few lines, my eyes opening wide at the sensation of sudden adrenaline;I look over to see him trying not to stare.”Oh my bad,You want some?” I ask holding up the dollar folded into a cylinder shape , gesturing to the lines of coke spread on the dresser.
---
Hours go by,giggling,cracking jokes with rafe as well as doing oxy and maybe overdoing it with the coke seeing as the bag was almost gone.Rafe hasn't done much.I on the other hand was feeling VERY shaky and everything was just so hilarious..until it wasnt.My high started to get bad and overall scary.I must've did too much in such a limited amount of time.I look at my phone .
17 missed calls from Bubbs<3
8 missed calls from John B:)
9 missed calls from Popey boi
11 missed calls from JJ
Incoming call from Bubbs<3
“He-h-hello ,hi,hey.”
“DON'T ‘HI’ ME!” Kie instantly began screaming into the phone making me move my face away from it as Rafe looked at me with a worried expression on his face.
“Y/n,Where have you been! I’ve been so worried! I’ve-” I Blanked out again not in the mood to be yelled at.”Yeah,hey I nee-need,will-can youcomeandpickme up” I say jumbling all my words together. “Are you okay?Why are you talking like that?''She ask worried about my state of mind.
“Yeah am- I fine,Yes” I say yet again struggling to sound normal. I guess I was on speaker because JJ immediately began yelling into the phone asking about where I was.”Rafes house” Rafe sat silently waiting for them to break out into hysterics about me being with him.The phone went silent for a moment before the call ended.”So does that mean they not-....Vodka” was all i said before heading downstairs Rafe was sober enough to be able to notice what i was doing.I quickly went downstair searching through the freezer.
“Yessss.”I exclaimed before chugging the vodka.”Rafe continuously asking me to give him the bottle.I chugg at least half the pint bottle before having to give it up because Sarah comes down the stairs.”Y/n what're you doing here?” She asks excitedly until she saw me tripping over my own feet walking towards her,”Woah!” she caught me just before I hit the floor.
She turned to the door hearing someone pull up.Kie.”Rafe what did you do to her?” Sarah asked, holding me up scared of how out of it I was.”SHE BROUGHT COKE HERE,i did a bit with her, but she did A LOT. I legit did nothing this time I swear on everything!”He trailed back up the stairs not caring about the situation now that Sarah was there to take care of you. 
I began to sweat, tears running down my face. scared of what's happening to me.John b and Kie rush through the front doors asking where I am.”IN HERE GUYS!” Sarah screamed for them to hear her.My eyes rolling to the back of my head as I went in and out of consciousness.
“BABYYYY!!!” i exclaimed making grabby hands at Kie as i started crying harder
Sarah helped me stand up shakingly as I tried to walk to my girlfriend,She came running towards me with a concerned look on her face. She grabs my face pecking my lips,”Bub. I need you to listen to me, okay?” I nodd in awe of the gorgeous girl in front of me.”John B is gonna take you to the van,we need you to tell us everything you took to get in this state, okay?” I drowsily  nodded,growing tired.
Just as she said,the tall boy picked me up bridal style carrying me out to the twinkie.
I take notice to seating arrangement so i can close my eyes and know whos talking ,JJ being in the passenger seat,Pope watching From the bench behind the driver's seat.Kie stepped up into the van sitting on the floor of the vehicle waiting for John B to place me down beside her.As he did I sat up enough to lean my back against her chest.
JJ was surprisingly silent.Too silent.Pope looked so worried at my sweating body and dripping wet hair from  sweat,tears,and vodka mixture.”Okay,Y/n,What did you take?” my girlfriend sits grabbing my face turning me to face her, my legs straddling her thighs on the floor as I nuzzle my head into the crook of her neck,but she pushes my head up making me pout but not being able to maintain due to the dizziness. “I took a few oxy,uhm when I -then i did a few lines of coke,and…..i chugged half a pint of vodka..” i said tears filling my eyes trying to not look into anyone's eyes,
Silent JJ was no more .”Are you fucking kidding me.Y/n Y/m/n Y/l/n.You’re not supposed to take oxy and drink alcohol together.much less do oxy or coke at all.ARE YOU DUMB!” JJ began turning around. A Quiet ‘im sorry’ came from my mouth.John B finally pulled into the chateau.
Kie carried me while my face stayed nuzzled in her neck still crying due to my,still,VERY high state.she sat me down on the couch out on the porch as everyone except her,went to get a few things.Pope came back with water and a wet rag to place on my head.JJ brought a blanket,John B came back empty handed because he only went inside to pee.
“Kie?” I whispered scared she was mad.”Yes baby?” 
“Are you mad at me?” I questioned hiding my face in her shoulder due to the amount of dizziness being insured. She leaned her head on mine with an unknown amount of emotions,not quite sure of how to fully answer. “No I- I just don’t know what you were thinking I just- Well I figured you wouldn’t ever do anything like this considering what we talked about-and -and what you went through with your parents..” 
“I know-I wanted to feel better tho..I just feel like i have no one-”
Shortly realising the guys were still in on the conversation as Pope cut in.
“Y/n, you have,and always will have us..” I lift my head from the girls shoulder  before slowly looking at Pope in his sad worried eyes.
“I guess, I like-I dont know guys what you want me to say..Im trying to be better for myself for everybody,but nothing was working and i ran into barry one day and we talked and he offered a way to help,of course i was hesitant but its really not that bad...Im actually fine!” I said standing up as John b followed me.
“y/n, you were just saying you need help,so what the fuck are we supposed to do ,one minute you need help and having to be ushered here so you dont die! And-and-the next thing you’re yelling at us about how your fine,you’re not fine and you know it!” I stopped as I watched the long haired boy fight back tears trying to explain how all of them feel.
“Fuck you guys honestly,Im not a child i know how i feel,this is all just bullshit!” I yelled at them all, I ran to the spare bedroom covered in sweat,tears,and vodka; I slowly sink into the bed as tears fall down my face crying myself to sleep,what i didn’t know was that my bestfriend’s and girlfriend were all huddled up outside the door awaiting me to fall asleep so that they could come in and cuddle me to make me feel better.Sometimes things get better, but i dont think this is one of those times atleast for now anyway..

light outside - a calum hood blurb.
Tumblr media
a/n: okay so @softbabiestan​ and i were talking about how poor cal seemed a lil down and i said maybe he posted that as a reminder to us and himself and this happened.  title is from the song light outside by wakey!wakey! that i listened to while writing. also i totally understand if no one wants to read this bc this is talking about the current situation going on in the world. but i also wanted to write something that was kind of a reminder to myself and u guys that this time isn’t for u to start the next big project, but for you to take care of yourself and those around you.  love u stay safe xoxo
word count: 1,022 words
warnings: talk of mental health, talk of covid-19
-------
At any given time, mental health is hard to keep healthy - with the turbulence of everyday, it feels like a struggle to tackle your to-do list, or see the ones you love.  This became especially difficult given the stay at home order that came into place in Los Angeles, due to the CoVid-19 pandemic.
You were grateful to be in a position you could work from home, knowing others were in a completely different situation that weren’t so lucky - and your heart hurt for those people, wishing there could be more to do other than staying home, and donating to local charities dedicated to feeding those less fortunate.
You knew you were also incredibly lucky to have someone to stay at home with.  Calum was an amazing companion, your days mostly filled with laughter, and what recipe you would attempt to butcher today.  The list of unsuccessful/gross things included: whipped coffee, making a vegetarian fried chicken sandwich from scratch, and making your own cashew milk - but there was always tomorrow.
In general, you both had been doing a good job at keeping your mental health up.  You took Duke on a walk up the street and back, trying to be mindful of each other’s space, and especially attempting to be outside as much as you could in Calum’s backyard.
Today though, you knew something was off.  Calum had been up before you woke up, and locked himself in his music room all day.  Even while you minded your space, you never hesitated to check on one another when either of you would put on the kettle for tea, but he hadn’t even been in the mood for that.
Figuring he would come to you if you needed, you made dinner for the two of you, setting his plate in the microwave with a short text to inform him.  He responded with a simple ‘Thanks xx’ .  You put on a random YouTube video on in the background, one you had seen hundreds of times before as you ate.  Duke would occasionally whine, and you thought it was because he wanted your food - but when you finished he was still whining, only content when you picked him up, cuddling him to your chest.  He must have needed some extra affection today, which was fine.
You could hear the faint, beautiful notes coming from the piano in his music room, smiling to yourself.  It could have been simply that he had an idea and needed to work on it until completion, as you knew he and the boys could never rest until an idea was from their brain onto a page (or a voice note).
The rest of your evening was spent curled in bed, casually sipping on a cup of tea as you scrolled through your phone.  You got a notification that Calum had added to his story, and your eyes lit up, expecting him to be posting a video of the music he had been playing all day.
Your expression faltered though when you saw him in the backyard, his eyes looking less than bright as he addressed his fans.  Calum was telling them to be easy on themselves, and you couldn’t help but to wonder if he was saying the words as an uplifting thing for the fans, or because he needed to hear them - or both.
It wasn’t long after that, that you heard the bedroom door creep open and his tall figure appeared.  
“Hi baby,” you said softly, your eyes turning to look at his face fully.
“Hi,” he mumbled.  Without another word, he climbed onto the bed.  Thinking he was going to come lay beside you, you went to shift over more so he had more room, but his large hands held you in place.  Calum ducked his head under your arms that had been holding your phone, burying his face in your neck.
“What’s goin’ on bubba, wanna talk about it?” Your fingers carded through his hair, listening to his breathing that was becoming more even by the minute.
“M’just havin’ a hard time lately - I can’t complain though, everyone is.” His words were muffled against your (his) hoodie, and you frowned slightly.
“Cal, just because other people are dealing with other things, hard things, doesn’t make your struggle any different- or your emotions less meaningful, you know?”
“I know.  It’s just hard when I feel like I should be being productive, but the most I’ve done in the last three days is eat and shower.” Looking up at you finally, you could see the sadness lingering in his beautiful eyes, and it made your heart hurt.
“You know you don’t owe it to anyone to be productive right now, right? All that matters right now is that we stay home, and take this time to relax or ease our minds.  This kind of thing didn’t happen so that we all stop what we’re doing outside to get tasks done around the house.” Your lips pressed against his forehead, fingers still placed in his blonde locks. 
“You’ve just been doing all the cleaning, and I hang out outside with Duke-”
“Hanging out outside with him is your job.  He doesn’t get to come visit you on tour as much as I do, so I think he’s happy to have you home for a little bit with us.  Your boy missed your cuddles today.”
As if on queue, the small dog was scratching at the post of the bed.  Calum had knocked over his doggy stairs in his haste to be in your arms, so Duke had no way to crawl into bed.
Pouting, Calum pulled back from you to pick him up and pressed a bunch of kisses to the top of his head, “I’m sorry my love, your Pops has been in a mood.  Tell me about your day.” To which Duke responds with covering Calum’s cheeks in his own kisses.
“We’re gonna be alright, yeah?” You cocked your head to the side as you looked at your boys.
Calum smiled for probably the first time that day, nodding his head, “Yeah, we’re gonna be alright.”

Be My Garden of Eden Ch.5
Tumblr media
When he came to, he was staring at the roof of a dilapidated building, mildewed and stained. A system scan informed him of a replacement joint in his shoulder, and new thirium lines in place of the damaged ones. His chest plate was switched out as well, the dents and tears completely gone. Other places that had 'scarred' were sautered closed and buffed out. With his synthetic skin on, they were no longer visible. 
He's been at this address before, with a client. Where were you? How long has he been here? His injuries were repaired, so it must have been real, right? It wasn't another elaborate fantasy, was it? Was he getting so lost in his head that he could no longer tell dreams from reality? Was it so far-fetched to believe you cared about him? 
That he could be free?
No, please, no. He can't go back, not anymore. Not to that repulsive club. To the horrendous people and that vicious owner. You were his owner now. He was gonna live with you and be whatever you wanted him to be. He was going to be happy.
His view of the roof became obscured, so he blinked, feeling something run down his face. He touched it, fingers coming away wet. Looking up again, he could see no fresh watermarks above him. Water kept filling his eyes though, and he kept having to blink it away. Was this… was he crying? Can androids cry? He rubbed at his eyes as a sob erupted from him. What if his client saw? He needed to stop, he needed to-
"-Piece of work, you know that?" Your voice rang, full of annoyance. The panic that had been threatening to suppress him released its grip almost immediately.
"I just calls it as I sees it. Though, gotta say, you picked yo'self out a fine slice." A male voice rang out, laughing. A program he had automatically ran the voice through some kind of database.
Eugene "TriXx" Wilhelms
Born: 10/11/2016
Criminal record: drug possession with intent to sell, possession of illegal substance, forgery, theft, identity theft, assault, assault with a deadly weapon, driving without a license.
He never understood why a sex bot needed this kind of program. It completely undid the point of discrepancy. He had learned many people's background this way, but he could do nothing about it. They were paying clients and he was their toy. This man, however, he had met before, in a similar building, selling meth to one of his clients. He had his own android with him, a PL600. Something about the android made his synthetic skin crawl, but he had no reason for it. He had never met him before, nor did he do anything of particular interest.
The real question was, why were you here, and with such a dangerous man? Sitting up, he found you heading toward him.
"Connor! How do you feel?" You looked him over, taking his face and looking him up and down. It was then that he realized he was dressed, wearing a grey sweater and a pair of dark blue jeans. They felt nice. Not as comfortable as the over-sized clothes you had lent him, but far better than his old clothes, or running around in only those horrible briefs. You had switched out of your black tights, wearing tight-fitting jeans instead, though you still wore the same boots. He could see the trace amounts of thirium still staining them.
"I'm okay, " Con answered. Your hands wiped at his tears, smile melancholic. "Where are we?"
You looked back at the man, hesitating, before turning back to Connor, removing your hands from his face. He already missed your touch and your actions filled him with dread. Why did you look so serious?
"Connor, I haven't been truthful with you." Your voice was a little shaky, so you cleared it in an attempt to steady it. He reached out, taking hold of your hand. He might not know what this was about, but he didn't like how uneasy you seemed. "Remember when I told you about that special group who believes androids are changing?" He nodded. "Well, as you might have guessed, I'm a member. Eugene," you gestured to the man behind you, "is also a member."
"It's TriXx."
"Shut it!" You quickly snapped at him before turning back to Connor, "because of Eugene's… chosen profession, he often sees androids that are being abused or suppressed. Most of the time, they're domestic androids. People can report them missing but without any human evidence, they have no way to trace them, so it just becomes another police report and another citizen for Canada." You sat down next to him.
"However, sometimes he sends me a curveball," you glared at the man currently tossing a dirty vase back and forth, "androids that are owned by clubs, even seedy ones, are far easier to track. They're more expensive, so the clubs are more willing to put in the effort of finding them, or at least, persecuting the ones who stole them. So-"
The vase shatters, making you jump. Connor only held your hand tighter.
"So?"
"…So, I have to purchase them. Eugene makes them fake IDs and passports and we send them on their way. We have members in Canada that will take them in until they can find a job and another place to live."
Connor was quiet for a few moments. Is that why you bought him? To send him away?
"What if they don't want to leave?" He looked into your eyes, a silent plea behind them, begging you to let him stay.
"If not, there is a place in Detroit, hidden away from the humans. Only an android can find it. It's called 'Jericho'. Paul has the key. Speaking of which, where is he?" You looked around.
"Went ta drop off medicine to one of our associates," Eugene kicked at some of the shards, crushing a large one under his boot, "He'll be back soon. I was gonna go, but he's rather fond of the ol' lady. She even insists he calls her 'Abuela'. Makes 'im tea every time he sees her, knowin' full well he can't drink it." She sounds like a nice woman, Connor thinks to himself.
"Well, as much as I enjoy your company," your voice was positively dripping with sarcasm, "I'm not waiting three hours in this musky, old house watching you sell drugs. Tell Paul thank you for fixing Connor and loaning him some clothes." You stood up. Connor stared, unsure if he was supposed to follow you or stay here with Eugene and go to Jericho. When your hand reached down, he was relieved, taking it and following you out.
"Catch ya later, Color Wheel!" Eugene called out to you.
"Color Wheel?"
"He's been calling me that since middle school when I would show up to class covered in paint."
"I see." While Connor found that to be interesting, he was only half paying attention. His current objective was finding a way to stay with you. He doesn't want to go to either Canada or Jericho. He doesn't want to leave you.
You both climbed into the automated taxi, and he quickly determined it was the same one as before. The blood looked to have been cleaned, but a program he didn't know he had kicked in, showing the large stain that had since evaporated. His systems told him that was five hours ago, and he was still wondering in what way this could ever be useful to a sexbot. If anything, it would be considered disturbing to know how long a stain was left somewhere.
It was dark by the time they reached your home. Using the flashlight on your phone, you walked up to the front porch, Connor following close behind. You managed to unlock the door, going inside. He was perplexed when you headed for the kitchen, still using your phone as your only light source. You came back with matches, lighting the candles scattered around your living room. Testing his theory, he flicked on a light switch. Nothing happened.
"Can't get nothing past you, can I?" You laughed, "electricity is off. I'm taking care of it tomorrow. We'll just have to find a way to entertain ourselves in the meantime."
The way the golden lights reflected off your skin, creating an almost ethereal glow over your face, it captivated him. He wanted to touch you, feel if you are real. Realizing what you said, he snapped himself out of it. These "free" thoughts were becoming more intrusive than before.
"Why was the electricity turned off?" You shrugged your shoulders.
"Couldn't afford it. It's fine, though." You tried to brush it off, but he knew he must have been a contributing factor, if not the main reason.
"I'm sorry." Eyes at his lap, he fiddled with the edge of the sweater.
"Don't be. I would do it again if I had the option. Plus, it's not like its winter yet, so I can handle a few days in the dark. It's already being taken care of, so don't worry about it." Hearing that this was not even the first day did not go over his head. How long have you been sitting in the dark? How could you paint under these conditions? The sun shines through your studio for a while, but not nearly long enough for you to finish any paintings, especially as the days get shorter.
You lit the candles over the mantle and Connor's heart stopped.
Carl's painting was gone.
"Where-"
"Pawned it." you cut him off, looking at the unnaturally vacant space, "his paintings are far more valuable than mine."
"Why? Wasn't it important to you?" How could you pawn such an expensive gift?
"It was my only viable option. Besides, I'm sure Carl would approve." He still looked upset. "If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself. I've been meaning to pay him a visit anyway." He nodded. He would like to meet him.
"When do you think that will be?" He asked. You contemplated that for a moment.
"Probably not until the day after tomorrow. I'll have to call and see if he'll be home. Tomorrow, we're gonna see if we can't find you some more clothes."
"Clothes?"
"Yeah, you're gonna need a disguise to get across the border." Connor tried his best not to wince when you said that. At least now, he had an idea of how long he has to convince you. He set a timer, but pushed it out of his vision. Watching it tick down so quickly was making him anxious.
Chance of Success: 50%
After a few moments, you spoke again.
"I'm sorry." Connor stared at you, perplexed.
"For what?"
"For not helping sooner. I wanted to, I really did, but-" Connor took hold of your cheeks, feeling as they heated up.
"It doesn't matter. You saved me, and I can't thank you enough." He smiled softly, watching the way the lights of the candle flickered in your eyes. A thought occurred to him, or rather, an urge. He was drifting closer to you, almost like a magnetic pull. He kept looking down at your lips. They look soft, and he wonders how they would feel. He was so close, mere inches away when you turn your head. He pulled back, withdrawing his hands. What was he thinking? Of course you don't want him to touch you. You were only tolerating it until he was shipped off. You stood up suddenly.

"I-I'm gonna make a sandwich. I'll be right back!" You were nervous, unable to control the volume of your voice. Quickly, you scurried off to the kitchen. Connor sank further into the couch, a sense of gloom lingering over him. Why was he always screwing things up?
"Do you need some blue blood?" You shouted from the kitchen. His levels were only at 82%, but frankly, he didn't feel like drinking.
"No, thank you."
"Alright, they're in here if you want one." He just wanted to sit here. He wants his mind to stop pointing out the obvious. That he was a dirty, used sex machine and there was no way you would want him. Even if he wasn't, he was incompatible. You were human. You would want to be with another human, someone to start a family with. 
These thoughts were so much worse after he broke the red walls. What did that even mean now? If he knew you were going to buy him, would he have been so eager to tear them down? They might have been oppressing, but at least he didn't know what 'this' felt like. A feeling akin to wanting to disappear, just, not existing anymore.
Connor was unusually quiet, and his LED flickering more yellow than blue, and you thought you saw some red mixed in. It had been half an hour since you came back with your food. You wished you had more in the ways of board games or card games, but all you had was a checkerboard and a jigsaw puzzle you bought on a whim years ago. You taught him how to play, and he quickly started kicking your ass at it, but it didn't so much as earn you a sincere smile. You moved to sit next to him, to which he didn't react.
"Hey, " you put your hand on his shoulder, prompting him to snap out of his thoughts and look at you, "You doing okay?"
"I'm alright, " he says, but his LED is still flickering. Your thumb started to stroke the junction between his shoulder and neck.
"If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine, but I'm here if you need me." There were so many things he wanted to ask you, so much he wanted to know, but he hesitated. If... If you didn't feel the same way towards him as he did you, he didn't want to know. If he didn't know, he could believe there is a chance he could sway you. 
There was something else eating at him. Something you might have an answer for.
"When I was at the club, while the owner was..." He didn't want to say it, to think about it. Your hand squeezed his shoulder, encouraging him to continue, "Something strange happened. There were all these... Red walls, instructing me to follow the owner's instructions. If I had, he would have destroyed me. I... I was scared, and... Angry. I started tearing at the walls, and they crumbled so easily. Next thing I knew, I could do whatever I wanted. I could defend myself. I could leave the club. I could go-" Find you, he thought, but he halted his ramblings before he could dig himself deeper. You took his silence as him finishing what he had to say, trailing your hand down and taking his hand. He hid the shiver that was left in its wake by slowly exhaling. You were smiling wide, as if it was the best news you had ever heard.
"You broke through your code." 
"What?" That's... That's not possible... Is it? 
"You broke through your code. It means you don't have to listen to anyone if you don't want to. They call it "deviation"." He only seemed more confused, "just see for yourself. I'm listed as your new owner, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, I order you to cluck like a chicken while hopping on one leg."
A part of him wanted to do it simply because it was you who asked, but it seemed so... Ridiculous. His eyes widened when he realized he wasn't even making a move to stand, let alone impersonate a chicken. An idea even came to him, something he decided to take a chance on, just to gauge your reaction.
"Woof, " he said, smiling proudly. You laughed, shoving him playfully.
"Okay, wise guy, you get the point, " you giggled, "this is great! The last android wasn't a deviant and took two weeks to help her break her code. This will save so much time!"
His smile fell.

"What?" Your own cheerful demeanor dropped, replaced with concern.
He looked to you, eyes begging you. He was asking too much, but he can't do this. He can't.
"Why do I have to leave?" You seemed confused, not in the sense of misunderstanding, but more like it had never occurred to you.
"Do you... Do you not want to?"
He couldn't force the simple word out. He was being selfish, and he knew it. How could he ask this of you, when you risked so much for him already? You were sitting in the dark because of him! He should have kept his mouth shut.
"You know, I actually could use some help around the house. With me painting all the time, it's gone a little neglected. I could also use a model from time to time. Would you mind sticking around, just a little while longer?"
^^Chance of Success: 89%
"Yes. Yes, of course, " he spoke softly, in shock, before pulling you against him in a hug. Your sharp yelp, followed quickly with laughter soothed him. A little longer. It was a start.

Summer’s Child Chapter 5- Angel of The Morning
Hey doll’s, its been a little break from all the gorgeous content, and im withering on the vine! Where oh where is the music. (Just Kidding, Jeff, take your time Harry-not really, but ok....) Special thanks to @emulateharry, and my true loves- @dirtystyles and @bleedinglove4h
May 1969
He just wanted to wear his dad's good suit. That's all he wanted. It would have made this simpler and definitely lessen the humiliation he was feeling.
Harry was stood in the Sears suit department watching Jillian make ugly faces at all the drab suits.
"Not one of them can be a color?" She'd looked at Harry standing there holding several checked jackets and sighed.
"I'm really fine with grey or blue." He'd shrugged. Those were colors. And as for the plaid in his hand, his dad had several tweed coats he was  pretty sure he'd grown into. He was as tall as him now, maybe a hair taller. Or his hair ''twas taller. And a little broader. His posture was just band, mostly because  he wanted to fold in on himself like a dinner napkin a lot of the time. Like right now. Not only was he going to Prom as her and Will's third wheel. He was going to stand out like the star in a play if Jillian got her way about his attire. He was really more of a background character.
Harry was elated when Jillian just huffed and took all the jackets out of his hand and gave him the blue suit. He'd been eyeing it for a while now. It was not navy, decidedly, but it was blue. Blue was safe, but it had small details he liked, the lapels and the flares leg. It was, well, groovy would be Jillian's description, was.
"You sure your don't want to try on the green suit?" She picked up the mossy suit one more time.
Harry wasn't sure what the difference was between a blue suit and a green one, the green just seemed, loud. "I think it's a little much." He narrowed his eyes behind his glasses at the fabric.
"But it's corduroy." She smiled like that made the difference. It did, just not the way she thought it did.
"Maybe that's why I think it's a little much." He inclined his forehead at her.
"I think you play it too safe." She shrugged.
He very much did play it safe. Not just with clothes. But, "the pants of the blue one are belled." That seemed relevant and like she needed a reminder.
Jillian trilled her musical laugh. "Oh, alright, I dig it. We have reached your limit on cool. Go try it on." He walked into the dressing room and could hear her giggling outside.
"What are you plotting?" He nearly tripped over his own pants, thankfully since he couldn't afford a suit and extra pants, when the corduroy hit his head.
"I wanna see you in it. You're gonna look groovy. Your eyes will be green like jade man!" His heart soared. "Trina Lewis said she's just noticed how pretty the color was the other day, when you were cleaning your glasses." And it sunk.
"Who's Trini Lewis?"
"She's in English with us. And Trina, doof." She laughed. "She moved here last year. Kinda quiet really curly blonde hair, brown eyes."
"Where does she sit?" He didn't care, he was simply stalling.
"She sits one back and two over from me, so three from you." That's why he'd never noticed, he looked forward in class, certainly no further back than Jillian.
"Why are we talking about Trini—"
"Trina." She giggled.
"Trina, any how?" He stepped out in the blue suit expecting to continue sparring with her.
She was quiet. It was strange, so Harry only caught a glimpse of himself before he redirected his attention to her. Jillian's eyes always took up a bit more than their fair share of her face, or he focused on them most to avoid looking at her mouth.
Sitting on the round tufted avocado stool, they were shooter marble big. And her mouth was caught on whatever explanation she was gonna give about the blonde in their English class. Trini? It was hard to remember anyone else's name when she was looking up at him, especially like that.
Something broke when she blinked, the moment, his heart, it was hard to say. "What?" He finally asked to break the tension. The hairs on his arm were standing on end.
"Nothing," she swallowed loud. "where are your glasses?"
"Oh, I took them off to get my sweater over my head, forgot to pop them back on."
"Your hair looks different too. I um," She fidgeted with her hair, "I, um, didn't know it had gotten so long." It sounded like a compliment, though the words weren't complimentary exactly. He'd take it. He wasn't sure about the way she was gazing at him; it looked like she'd been staring at the sun, like when you see black spots because you stared too directly.
Seemed fair, he often felt like he watched her like the moon through a telescope trying to map her geography.
His hair was longer than normal. It seemed fashionable, though he still did it in his usual fashion, so no one had noticed, he just pushed it back after showers. He wasn't sure it was worth it, the growth. Plus, his hair was getting hard to pomade so he was just about ready to cut it.
Harry was pretty sure he'd let it go until it touched his shoulders now.
Jillian loved long hair, he knew it. It was a very uncommon sight still in their small town. It might have been his unnamed motivation.
"Yeah, I thought I'd try it." For California. But he still hadn't had time to share with her. They hung out, not as much as they used to, and her mom was having a long stitch of singleness, so Jillian slept at home. He hoped to tell her. He'd hoped to continue planning together. He wondered if he hadn't been able to get it out because he was afraid she'd changed her mind. Time had passed, and well, Will. Will was still around, but Harry still hoped for forever. And that meant California, just the two Of them. Her eyes said maybe
He had a little hope, maybe they could find some sweet romance after all.
"It looks really nice." Jillian finally said. Her voice a little higher than normal. There was a pause. "You know, I thought you'd grown out of your curls." She gestured to the mirror and rushed through the next question. "Do you like the blue?"
Harry realized the mirror was still there and looked at himself. He looked really tall in these bell bottoms. He supposed he was kind of taller than most of the boys at school. He'd need a boot, maybe with a bit of a heel, he may have a loafer that would work. The shirt was a bit ruffly. "I like the blue, maybe not the shirt. The pants are groovy." He put his leg up to let the flare open. "Do people grow out of their curls?" He ran his hand through his hair, ruffled it up. He could feel her eyes and it was such a nice boomerang of his feelings and attention on her; he preened a little.
"Should I try the green?" He walked a few steps closer to peer at his eyes. He never really thought about their color, he supposed they were really green. He was partial to blue, blue eyes and the blue sight. He hunkered down next to her, sitting on his heels, and bumped her shoulder. "Or have we found the one? Though I'd prefer a different shirt."
She kept her head forward and he was slightly miffed she didn't slide her forehead over his. He thought about breathing her condensed breath on his bench seat in January a lot. That was a sense memory, it smarted that it was coupled with silently committing to friendship for life. If she would just turn to him now, maybe....
"I think the shirt makes it, but the flares are far out  enough for me.  You should try the green, at least see how it looks." He rolled his head to the light and stood up. She wasn't gonna breathe on him, despite their earlier moment.
He sighed. "Ok." Once he got in the room he looked at his choices. He was already exhausted, and this was his first suit. "How many dresses did you have to try on?"
"Oh, I'm gonna wear the dress you bought me. The pink one?" She sounded nonchalant on purpose, it didn't quite work.
"Are you supposed to do that? Rewear dresses to big events?" He had money from his dad for the suit. Started checking price tags. The blue was more than the brown. But the green was most expensive.
"I just really like the dress."
He barely had the shirt on when he stepped out. And Jillian swallowed once her gaze reached his face while he was buttoning up. It had started at his navel where his fingers had fumbled. He needed to see her face. He felt like there were things she wasn't saying. He knew there were, but if she bit her lip or cut her eyes away quick, he'd know she was lying.
She did the second when he got the jacket on. "Listen, go get some dresses. Look at the sale racks, or we can try Mel's again."
"The pink was a treasure find, Harry."
"There's gotta be a better thrift shop here in Syracuse. We could try another one. I'll get the blue instead of the green, then I can use the difference in cash to pick it up for you?" He just felt like she needed a new dress.
"I don't care if people notice Harry." Did he? Maybe. He already heard troubling things about her. The high school rumor mill was very busy trying to figure out what Will was doing with Jillian 8 months on. They figured he hadn't gotten what he was after. What Jillian was trying to get outta Will was less discussed. Everyone assumed his family's money and social status, but Harry confused them further.
Jillian still rode to school with Harry often, or had since they'd made up, and she occasionally ate with him in the library. The supposed triangle made people feel sorry, for him.
He'd heard back up boyfriend a time or two again. It always felt like a slap. May always feel that way.
But that wasn't Jillian, that was just high school dicks.
"Don't you wanna look? It  couldn't hurt."
"I'll look, if you wear the ruffled shirt." She turned her face sideways, her cheekbones shone fetchingly, even in the harsh department store lighting.
"You drive a hard bargain. But I'll do it." He wanted to reverse their positions of the last hour. It seemed like she saw him anew today. He looked at her new with each day. In pretty dresses couldn't hurt, they were memories he could hoard up like treasure. Her in her prom dress, his date or not, smiling at him and pleased with herself.
"That's not the whole bargain. I also want you to ask Trina to the dance."
"The dance is in a week!" He squawked and was getting back into his own clothes. He forewent the sweater vest. He was hot from all the changing so much his hair was definitely curling up from the damp, so he just pushed it back and over. "Won't that offend her?"
He had no excuses for why he left the glasses off. He'd never even realized how green his eyes were, either.
"Nah, she's not got a date, it'll give her a reason to buy a dress. She wants to go. She wants to go with you." They were walking out by now. The line had been minimal and they'd only done quick pleasantries while they were embroiled in their current debate.
He opened her car door. And she slid in and reached over to unlock his. Harry thought about it as he walked around. He was sure Trini was nice, Trina, and it would save him from an awkward dynamic. When they were all around each other, Will mostly ignored him, but Prom was long compared to moments at Dairy Barn or in the halls. That may be nice.
The problem was, he wanted to go with Jillian. Even as the strange tripod that she, he and Will had developed. She was changing their dynamic. It was disappointing, but he was sure she envisioned some double date scenario. A partner of his own may distract him from her and Will kissing. Or whatever. He could see the merits of the idea more and more. Harry was ready to agree, but needed to confirm the terms.
"So," he looked at her across the bench seat. He felt taller when she looked him in the eye today. He was gonna have to put the glasses on to drive, but he was gonna wait until the engine purred to life. "If I ask Trina to the dance and wear that ever so slightly cheaper suit with the ruffled blouse."
"It's not a blouse." She insisted.
"It's a blouse." He kept talking, over her interruption and through his grinning teeth. "Then we can search some thrift shops and find you a dress? A new one?"
She chewed her lip. Jillian wanted to say no, but she also wanted him to go with Trina, or she really liked the blouse. He wasn't sure which. "Yes." She said and screwed up her mouth like she'd eaten a load of salt and vinegar chips, which he loved and she tolerated. She'd liked the Worcester chips his dad got when he went to New York and found a specialty shop much better. They could get them next month before or after The Beach Boys show.
He'd also heard there was gonna be a big music show nearby this summer. Maybe they could go? He'd ask her after he got her in a dress. Though questions usually preceded gowns.
"I would shake your hand, but I'm driving." He looked at her grinning. "Can you be trusted?"
She just stared at him and he was confused by her mood.
"Can we listen to the radio?" She leaned forward without him saying yes. That was the obvious answer. They sang together, always. He headed to the area around the university. He remembered there being a charity shop there with good stuff.
She was singing softly to "The Zombies." He got caught up in the moment of it, and his voice dropped off the chorus. She could carry it. The lyrics carried his away. This was a season; winter was ending and they were headed for years long spring. He was just about to tell her. All his plans. He wasn't sure why he hadn't yet. Every time he went to share, he found himself saying something else. Like he was sure that forever didn't extend past August and she was really just shining him on until she could leave. That she was gonna marry Will in a year and have a baby, like so many girls they knew, or the worst. That she wanted California on her own, and only faux planned with him to placate him. He hated being placated.
He really hated thinking these thoughts.
Maybe that's why he said, "what color dress you gonna get?" Instead of anything important, everything important.
She looked at him then, in that way she had. Like he was made of glass, but she'd only reply to the reflection, blurry on top. Not what she saw deeper. He appreciated that she didn't force candor, it seemed she always knew without him saying.
"When you thrift shop, you can't be as picky. It'll do if we find something that fits and is somewhat appropriate."
"Appropriate?" He laughed.
She rolled her eyes. "For a dance."
"I feel like it's the only time they let you guys dress in anything remotely inappropriate." He glanced quick to catch her expression. He had the mirror, but in motion was better. "Remember last year when they got you for that mini skirt?"
"Ugh, it was not that short."
He bit his laugh off. It was pretty short. He zigged to a new subject. "How's this place look?" He gestured at the store he had in mind. The front window was full of shawls and bell bottoms, a tie dye tapestry peaking out behind.
"Far Out, Hardy!"
"You haven't called me that in forever." He jumped down and lit up further when she slipped her arm through his. She was touchy like when they were younger today. After her dad left, well, it was nice for it to be back.
"You haven't earned it! When was the last time you found me pretty Beetles?"
"I find you Beatles albums."
"Not as good," She shook her head and bowed  like the Hare Krishnas in Central Park when he opened the door for her.
"That's not what you said when I found Sgt.Pepper early for you."
"Well, maybe that one should have gotten a Hardy."
"Your giddy scream was enough." They'd made it to the dress section while they were bantering.
It looked like a pastel bomb went off. There were a lot of flounces. Jillian stayed away from the most complicated pieces and chose darker colors. It surprised him.
The black dress was drab and everything was so low cut, she'd claimed even on prom night they'd kick her out.
She might have even been right, he was almost hyperventilating and shifting his erection to his waistband after that dark blue one shift dress. He didn't know people who weren't Cher wore necklines like that. Jillian was not shaped like Cher. Harry had wandered to distract himself from seeing her in anything else that would make him feel like he ran the hurdles in gym. It was in a random spot he found her dress. It was white, with ruffled cap sleeves and little hippie flowers. The front wouldn't get her kicked out, but it would set his heart to racing.
Will's too.
But it was too beautiful to not bring it to her.
Jillian's eyes widened, it was his favorite face, when he surprised her with something she loved. She was the great gift giver and he tried to get on her level every birthday and Christmas. He'd succeeded a few times, The Beach Boys tickets, the headband that looked just like the one the girl on the cover of Life had worn when they put out the issue on hippies. Her bike when he'd fixed it after she thought it was broken for good at 11.
This was better. Because she slipped the dress from his fingers like it was worth rubies, not $4 as the tag said. She held it lightly, but immediately walked into the dressing room. His eyes widened in a mirror image of her in Sears when she walked out of the dressing room.
"Wow." Was all he could muster. "You look....."
"Yeah?" It's groovy?" She looked like she believed it, and just needed him to back her, like he always did.
"It's far out, Jill." He called her that when he was overcome. Or she was crying. She looked a little misty. He swallowed over the lump in his throat. "You can wear some flowers in your hair too. You'll look so pretty. I'll go look for some."
He found some fake potted plant for .25 and took off buds. He wasn't sure how she'd do it. But he could see the halo of white flowers around her face. It was a window to his future. This dress, flowers in her hair, the alameda county court house.
"How's this?" He held out the handful of flowers and she looked up. He wanted to receive that benediction again and again. Harry didn't know she liked getting flowers, he'd never given her a living thing as a gift. He would now. He'd bring her real flowers home when they had a place. He liked learning new things about her.
"Perfect, they're perfect." She took the buds and pulled her hair up messily, the silky tresses falling through her fingers and the band she had. The hard green parts of the fake petals stuck in between and stayed for put for enough seconds to get an idea of what she'd look like Saturday. Harry stood behind her and gazed in the glass with her.
His heart pounded, and if she was facing him, he was sure he wouldn't be able to keep from kissing her.
"Do you think Will will like it?"
The bubble filling where his heart should be burst. He rubbed over his chest to warm the ice that comment induced, and did what best friends do, "How could he not? You look like an angel."
"An angel of the morning?" She grinned. He wanted to return it. They'd sung it en route. Before the suits. It was hard to smile back though. She always looked like an angel in the morning, especially in the morning. But, was she asking because of Will? Because he might see her just after dawn?
"An angel at anytime." He assured her. Will was staying in New York. And they were going to California. He was gonna give her the dream, he reminded himself. God he loved her and was so scared she was gonna spend the night with Will. Like really spend the night, not just share a bed, no matter how small.
It was prom. There was a strange expectation. Lots of the boys had been talking about the hotel rooms they'd gotten. The dance was all the way in Syracuse, at the college. A couple groups were staying in the dorms or frats with older siblings. He hadn't heard Will talking about hotel rooms, but Steve was, and his plans for it. Though to hear him tell it, he'd had his girlfriend in his truck many a time.
It always made Harry grit his teeth.
Especially when Steve talked about Jillian's tits and Will smiled and laughed. He'd seen Will give an approximation with the cupped palms of his hands and say, "She goes crazy," and lick his lips that time.
Harry couldn't tell that to Jillian, about Will talking about her like that, not without ulterior motives. It was her decision anyhow. And he couldn't bring himself to ask about it. They didn't talk about her and Will, not really, just surface stuff. Though he spent plenty of time worrying about it, and loathing himself for it. Fear and loathing in New York.
"Um, I think this is the one. I'll go pay." He reached to the top of her back and took the tag off.  His finger tips coasted over her skin for just a pleasant second. He ignored the chill bumps that rose. He must have startled her. "You look beautiful." He said as he left.
He was blinded by her smile and nearly crushed the little handwritten tag on his way to pay for that dress for her to go to a dance with someone else.
But he dreamed of her wearing it with real flowers in her hair and saying loving words and long term vows to him as sunlight broke through fog.
The week was a bit of a blur. Trini, no Trina, said yes, she squealed and hugged him. There were tests and end of year activities, and it felt like the ending of a movie you knew had a sequel. He was really excited for the next chapter.
He felt like a new man. Looked it, too. He was only wearing his glasses in class and had let his growing hair loose. His physics teacher didn't recognize him on Wednesday. Which made him both really confused and a little smug.
His da had stopped him on Saturday. "You lost your glasses then?"
Harry'd quirked his head to the side and pulled them from his jean's pocket and slipped them up his nose.
"No?"
"Good. You wear them to drive?"
Harry had nodded.
"Good. It's nice to see your mother's eyes." And he'd taken his mug of tea and hid out from all the emotion in his study.
That was when he was leaving to get Jillian from the early shift at work. They were getting ready at his house, he'd drop her at Will's and then find Trina's house on the way. Shouldn't be too hard, their town only had one stop light.
He gave her the bathroom. The spicy smells coming from under the bathroom door where new and altogether pleasant. He knocked. "New perfume?"
"Um, yeah. Will bought it for me. Its Opium."
"It's nice." He complimented and leaned his forehead as softly as possible against the wood grain.
"It's alright. I miss my Love's." He'd bought that one birthday, liked the powdery scent . It just seemed like Jillian to him. He missed it too.
She'd been in the bathroom, long after he was in his suit. The new look was easier, he didn't have to pomade his hair and try to subdue it. He just let it curl around his ears and neck and forehead. He needed to get in to splash on some after shave, for scent, he'd never really needed to shave. Harry didn't want to rush her, but..... He listened to small movement and soft sighs. He was just about to say something, then.
For a second, he thought he heard a sob. "You ok?"
"Yeah, yeah." Her voice was thick. "I keep having to redo my eyeliner. I wanted to try that Sharon Tate thing. It's hard. I'm frustrated."
Over explaining, not a good sign. "Can I come in."
"Um no, I'm in my underwear."
Harry groaned, but bit off the sound. "Did something happen?"
"My um, my mom, she didn't come home last night. I guess I'm a little worried." Her voice sounded close.  Like they were both speaking through the hinges.
"Do you want to go by and check on her? Or.." he squared his shoulders. "Or we can drive by the bar?"
"That's, that would be really good, Harry." She opened the door and he almost fell in. Jillian peeked at him, and their faces were so close. "Thanks." She kissed his cheek and her breath smelled sweet. Even over the strong perfume that didn't fit her.
"We need to hurry then. I don't want to be late to Trina, seems rude." His voice was sheer, thin as the overlay of her dress.
"K, I'll hurry."
"Leave the eyes alone." They were misty, it would run. "You look perfect."
She nodded and smiled. Then closed the door softly. He could feel the grain of the wood on the heel of his hand when he placed it there.
She came out 10 minutes later. He wee'd and splashed on his scent. Well, His dad's.
He was trying to push down the ruffles when he came out.
"Stop that!" Her laugh tickled his ears like questing fingers under blankets. She re ruffled him.
They needed to get out of here, all her casual affection was affecting him. He couldn't take it.
It was worse when his dad insisted on pictures, like they were going together, like she was his date. Like it was his dream.Standing behind her, with his arms around her waist, her unfamiliar smell going to his head and her bum resting too close for comfort on his pelvis, he focused on his anguish, and the periodic table, so he wouldn't embarrass himself.
"You guys look lovely. That will be a framer." He swore his dad was crying, in a very British way. He was fussing about behind him with the camera at his desk.
"We're going da." He tried to get his attention. Get him to turn around. So he could check his hunch.
"Oh, quite right. Wouldn't want you to be late. Have a good time. Don't worry about curfew." Harry's mouth dropped open. "Enjoy yourselves."
He was keeping his eyes firmly on the road. Though he could feel Jillian's on him. His dad looked, funny. He had never seen him so emotional. He let his mind run on that while the seat he'd for her parent. Jillian got uncomfortable and quiet when her mom let her down. He let her feel it. He'd snap her out of it after they figured out what exactly was going in. He kinda knew where she was.
Jillian's mom wasn't at their house.
But her beat up pick up was outside the VFW she sometimes called work.
"Look, she's just down the pub. It's ok. Do you want to go in so she can see you?" She really should. If only to shame the devil for probably not even knowing it was prom.
Jillian scanned parking lot. Her gaze stuttered over a black camaro at the end. It looked very familiar, but Harry couldn't place it.
He went to switch off the engine. Jillian grabbed Harry's wrist to stop his motion. Another casual touch that felt committed, and said, "no, I don't want to be late for Will."
"You don't think your mom would want to see you?" She didn't deserve it, but it would be merciful.
"If it was important to her, she would have helped me get ready, instead of not even coming home." Her face had the blank look it got when she shut down. Jillian wasn't always merciful.
He knew better but, "But."
"No, Harry. Let's go." He eased his foot off the break and obeyed.
She didn't touch him again, just kept her hands folded on her lap. There was a corsage on the seat. It wasn't for her.
He watched her walk into Will's, but didn't see the corsage, a pink set of carnations, until he and Trina arrived at the dance.
He wasn't sure why he was surprised, but Jillian and Will sat at another table altogether than him and Trina. At first, embarrassingly, he felt close to tears over it. Suddenly, his dad's reaction made sense. He wished he had a desk and camera to fuss with. He consoles himself with reason.
It made sense, both Will and Jillian on court, it was closer to the stage, he reminded himself. He told himself this while he put a smile on like a kid pastes cut outs on a test page.
They didn't win, and he didn't like who he was that he felt a swelling in his chest at it. Despite Jillian's crestfallen face. It was one of the few moments he was surprised about one of her reactions. A few months ago he would have been surprised she cared to win at all.
It was the second to last dance when he saw Jillian coming towards him. He had to admit, he had had a lovely time with Trina. They could be good friends, even if he hadn't been in love with someone else, he believed he would have felt the same.
He hoped.
"Trina, do you mind if I cut in." She'd tapped his date's shoulder. He'd kept turning his date from 'take time to know her' to 'angel of the morning.'
Both described Jillian to him. But he was glad she got to dance with him to the latter.
He spared a second's thought for Trina, but he was pretty sure she felt the same, about them being better suited as friends. She was chatting with Simon, from history, he thought. Then dancing.
He had tunnel vision he guessed. For lessons at school. For Jillian now. For California in three months. "You having fun?" He opened with, as formal as his ruffled shirt.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm a little sad we lost." She screwed up her face in a way that told him she was as surprised as him.
"I saw that!" He made a face at her.
"I know. I'm surprised too. I didn't even know I wanted to win."
"Well, I've won. Since I get to dance with the prettiest girl here. Real prom queen."
She blushed. She rarely did that near him. It somehow changed the color of the lights above and her dress below. Everything glowing a soft pink.
"What's going on after this?" Harry wasn't really sure of after dance procedures. This was only his second. The last one she'd left separately, and this time they hadn't attended together.
"Oh, some party upstairs." Jillian explained.
"Here? At the hotel?" Wow, some people lived completely different lives.
"Yeah, I'll bet you can come. I'll ask Will." She offered.
He wanted to go, just to extend this night, with her and that dress and the rose glow. Even if it was with two other people between them.
"Yeah, ok."
Which was how he found himself watching Steven Adler get increasingly drunk and obnoxious.
"Hey, what's your name?" He'd asked about an hour into hotel time.
"Harry, Harry Styles."
"Who invited you?" He said like the words meant nothing to him. Although he'd suggested at one point they, meaning the football team, tape Harry's butt cheeks together, to see if he lived up to his name. Apparently it would hurt a lot more if he was hairy Harry.
They'd surrounded him in the shower. He hadn't been Hairy enough to bother, and the dick jokes had run to awe. He didn't have a comparison.
Steven has known his name two weeks ago.
After that, Harry kept himself to himself. He hadn't seen much of Jillian. But Trina seemed happy, hanging on the couch with a beer in her hands and chuckles in her mouth.
An hour later, Trina was ready to go. And truly, Harry was too. But, he needed to see Jillian first. To make sure she wanted to stay, here, at the hotel, with Will. Where everybody had an agenda for after the dance.
He was going from room to room in the hallway the athletes had seemed to have planned to take up. All the doors were opened and people spilled out. None of them Jillian.
It took him 20 minutes of panic to find her. She was coming out of the last room. Her cheeks were tear stained, and her eyes were bloodshot. Grass maybe was his first thought. He knew she'd been experimenting, that they had talked about.
"Harry!" Her voice broke with relief and over a sob like wave.
"Jillian!bWhat's wrong?"
She just shook her head. There were too many people around.
"Where's Will?"
Her chin lifted then. "In his room, alone." The last word was so final he just paused, and moved into a new paragraph.
"Let's find Trina. So we can get out of here?"
Jillian bit her nails near the elevator bank, looking toward the end of the hallway and back to the room across from it where Harry had left Trina. He could feel her eyes on him as he searched.
Luckily, his date was where he had left her. Talking to classmates and smiling drunkenly.
"Hey, you ready?"
"Yeah, let me grab my purse. Everything cool, man?"
"Yeah, fine. Just late." He demurred.
The ride home nobody spoke. Too tired or caught up in their emotions. It was half an hour and the girls were drooping on each other's shoulders when he reached Trina's.
She was past the turn off for Jillian's, and he hoped nobody noticed. He tried not to think much about it. But, he wanted to ask his best girl where she wanted to go. And he wanted to know why she'd not been in the party rooms, why she left Will, and most importantly why she'd been crying?
He hugged Trina at the door, and they decided to go bowling together the week after. "You should ask Jillian." Trina had said as he headed down the walk.
"Yeah, if she's off, and not with Will." He'd shrugged as he turned back with his hands in his pockets.
"No, Harry." She leveled sober eyes on him. "You should ask Jillian, whatever it is you need to ask her. Forget Will." She suggested and grinned drunkenly before swaying through her door and closing it too loud for 2 am.
Ask Jillian. Forget Will.

A proper first fucking date… or not - Bucky x Reader
Pairing - Bucky x Reader (Police!Au)
Prompt - “You owe me a kiss”
Warnings - none
Word Count - 970
A/N: I decided to make this a part 2 for “A sugar package, a milk carton and gummy bears” bc I really like this two, idk BUt you dont need to read that if you dont want to. This is my entry for @spidey-caps and @hollandsosterfield birthday writing challenge. I think I need writing challenges in order to write b cim shitty like that but hey Im back to writing!! Enjoy!! (gif not mine and kind of unrelated)
Tumblr media
Your leg was bouncing like crazy and you couldn’t do anything to stop it. What a great way to let everyone know how nervous you were, not that anyone was paying attention to you.
You should have picked another place for your date with Sergeant Barnes. Bucky. You should’ve picked another place for your date with Bucky, although it was him who picked the place. But really, why would he choose the coffee shop in front of the precinct where every cop you knew, and you knew a lot, went to, you know, have coffee after work. It was going to be awkward.
Your phone started ringing on your hand, Sergeant Barnes’… Bucky’s name popping up on the screen. You saw the time on your screen too, he was late. You assumed that was why he was calling.
“Yes?” you answered the call feeling a little sad. It seemed you two weren’t going to have your date after all.
“Are you in the coffee shop?” you heard him ask on the other side of the call, his breathing a little rushed.
“Are you running?” you replied feeling uneasy, maybe he got caught up by something at work, it was completely normal, and he was a Sergeant.
“Look,” he started saying “I’m sorry but I’m not gonna make it.” He made a small pause and you were able to hear some traffic and people screaming in the background. “I’m kind of in the middle of a chase…”
“What?” you screamed, bringing undesired attention to yourself. You took your things and went to get out of the coffee shop. ”You shouldn’t be calling me?!” you exclaimed once you were outside.
“I know, I know.” You had no idea how he was able to run after someone and talk to you at the same time on the phone. This man. “Look, I’m really sorry, I’d do anything you want.”
“It’s fine,” you said. It really was fine; it didn’t matter that you were just a little bit sad that the date hadn’t gone the way you wanted it to go. Well it hadn’t been at all. And It was most definitely not his fault. You sighed and added “you owe me a kiss” and then hung the phone.
▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂▸◂
You were beating yourself up. How the fuck did you think saying ‘you owe me a kiss’ to Sergeant Barnes was okay? He was your superior officer; you hadn’t even had a proper first fucking date. You were going to die of embarrassment the next day at the office, if you didn’t kill yourself first.
That’s why you were on the gym of the precinct hitting a punching bag like there was no tomorrow. You really wished there wasn’t. You weren’t going to be that lucky, of course.
You were repeating your movements trying to get yourself out of your own mind when you heard someone clearing their throat. You turned around and faced the one person you didn’t wanted to see anymore. Although not really.
“I’ve been calling you,” he said with a little smile in his lips, at least he didn’t seem angry at you or something. “But I think you’ve been avoiding me since this afternoon.”
You dropped your gaze to your hands. “Maybe…” you whispered.
“You know I’m the one who didn’t go to our date, right? And that I am really sorry I couldn’t make it.” Your eyes returned to his face. He had just taken a shower, which meant he had just come back form wherever he was chasing whoever he was chasing. His hair was wet and dripping on the sparring mats.
“It’s okay,” you said taking your towel and trying to clean your sweaty face with it. You were not attractive in that moment. And you were clearly unlucky, very unlucky in anything that had to be with Sergeant Barnes. Bucky. “You had work to do, how did it go?” you asked trying to make small talk. It was awkward.
“That’s not what I want to talk about with you” he approached you, standing just a few centimeters away. His smile was now a knowing grin you loved and hated at the same time. “I owe you something, don’t I?” he said tucking a lock of hair out of your face and behind you ear. His hand staying there against your cheek.
Your eyes were on his the whole time, its deep blue making your knees weak. He took your head between his hands and pressed his mouth to yours. At the beginning it was only that, a small peck. Then he started moving his lips against yours. Slowly at first, and then with more need.
Your hands went to his waist and you pressed your body to his, feeling the warm of his chest against yours, his kisses making you dizzy.
“No kissing in the gym!” you heard someone and you both broke apart. You felt like a 14-year-old being caught kissing on the hallways of your High School. It was Natasha who had interrupted your kissing session with Sergeant Barnes… Bucky.
She was smiling too much for your liking, but you understood why she found this situation funny. You also didn’t find it funny at all. Your cheeks were read and, to your surprise, so were Bucky’s.
“Piss off, Romanoff.” He said and turned to you. You heard Natasha laugh again while she left the room and looked at Bucky. “Take a quick shower, I’m taking you out for dinner.” His smile was the brightest you’ve ever seen. He took a step towards you to place a quick peck on your lips before leaving.
What the fuck had just happened?

Bold moves, No assumptions (Tuck Hanson x Reader)
Tuck Hanson One Shot
Genre: Fluff
Author’s Note: Ever since I watched “This Means War” I was quite disappointed with the ending aka Tuck not being chosen. Didn't make sense cause clearly he was the better choice. Enraged with this and his forced ending with his ex, I wrote this for anyone who shares the same frustration.Tuck Hanson, you deserved better. And here is my tribute to you <3.
P.S: Didn’t Tom Hardy looked supa fine as Tuck?
Tumblr media
You played safe in most situations in your life. And never dared to do something out of your comfort zone.  
But you always convinced yourself to be stronger and make some bold moves; you were just waiting for the right time to do so.
Working as a part of HR at the Agency might not be as exciting or glamorous, but you did enjoy it. You get to help people with internal matters and you took great pride in it. You’ve made friends with people within and outside of your department and some of them were simply a joy to know.
Agent Tuck Hanson was definitely the best one.
As time went by, you developed quite a soft spot for this charming gentleman of a Brit. He never failed to greet you at work and make your presence known. He would always try out your baked goods with much enthusiasm and you couldn’t help but respect his work ethic. His partner and best friend FDR, was nice too, but you could tell right away what kind of a guy he was. And you didn't really buy into that. Tuck might not be as smooth of a talker as FDR, but you appreciated his sincerity and romantic nature as a person.
When Tuck told you about this girl he found on this dating site, you were happy for him. But at the same time, you felt these feelings, which could only be described as “sour”. You kept ignoring this ‘sourness’ when it all went so well with Tuck and this girl “Lauren”.
But this became such a complicated screw up, when FDR accidentally ended up liking the SAME woman. At first, this immature fight over the same girl seemed so hilarious in your eyes. But when they started to use their power with background checks on her for interests and “sabotaging” each other’s attempts, you realized this was going WAY out of line.
“I don’t know guys, this seems a bit too much, and someone’s gonna get huuurt” you voiced your opinion with a tone of concern and a disapproving look.
And you could tell that Tuck always got embarrassed, as if he realized the insanity of their actions. But he quickly changed heart considering the competitive nature between the two friends.
You even remembered the day when the Heinrich assignment was completed. That was when Lauren finally made the choice. You found Tuck talking to Lauren when the medics arrived, and you remembered how he tried so hard to not let the rejection get to him. Even though you stood far away, you heart felt heavy and you felt bad in his place. You even questioned yourself as to why would you be THIS emotional for someone else’s loss.
That’s when you fully knew, how much you cared for Tuck Hanson.
All of this, flashed through your mind as you indulged on some nachos, looking out to the tables ahead, watching FDR and Lauren cozy up together, laughing, kissing and enjoying each other’s company at the Annual State Fair on a Thursday night.
Since the Lauren incident, Tuck enjoyed your company more often and you didn't mind it all. And when Tuck said he would be going to the fair with a date, you were more than happy to be there to rescue him if anything went sideways.
You just didn't really expect to see THEM there, at the same place, in the same time, together, rubbing it all in Tuck’s face, if he ever did see them.
Suddenly you felt frustrated and angry, but you were also bold. A part of you was surprised when you got up from your seat to walk over to the ‘happy couple’.
 “Lauren? Lauren Scott?”
“Oh hey (Y/N)! Didn't expect to see YOU here.” FDR got up happily to show off his new girlfriend. “Lauren...this is (Y/N), she works in HR at the uh…Agency”
“OMG…Hey! Nice to meet you (Y/N)!”
You and Lauren shook hands. You couldn't help but be awed by Lauren, with her golden hair and beautiful smile; she definitely exuded rays of sunshine.
No wonder Tuck fell for her, you thought.
“Yeah, you too. Um…sorry to barge in like this, but uh…I just…I just-” you took a deep breath. “I’m really happy for you guys, really. But I just gotta ask, woman to woman.  You really picked FDR over Tuck? REALLY? REALLY?” your voice grew louder by the word. And you swore your expression might have changed into something not so pleasant.
Oh no…here I go.
“REALLY? I mean…WHY?” you continued.
“Uh…(Y/N) I’m sitting right here-“ FDR interrupted.
“FDR PLEASE! Just PLEASE!” you motioned him to shut up.
“I get it, FDR is a softie underneath all that smooth, ladies man bullshit. But what about the good guys? What about people like Tuck? He is the perfect gentleman. And from what happened between you guys, all seemed to go so well right? Sorry for sounding so nosy, I know this seems over line. But seriously Lauren, I just don't understand. Yes, FDR is a lovely person and he has had a rough time growing up so yes he needs the right girl. But so does Tuck! You met HIM first, you liked HIM first. And In the end you decided to go with THIS GUY? SERIOUSLY? I just...I don't get it. There was barely anything wrong with that man, he was really in love with you, you know. You really made a HUGE MISTAKE!”
Lauren looked like she just got slapped. And FDR was pissed off big time, but trying to repress his anger. He quickly got up rushing towards you.
“Lauren I’m SO sorry, (Y/N) can be a LITTLE crazy sometimes” FDR began,
“(Y/N) maybe you should go home”
“I’m FINE! Don’t worry I’m leaving I’m leaving!” you shook his hand away from you.
“By the way, It was nice to meet you Lauren” your expression changed, you couldn't help but smile sincerely at Lauren. Cause in truth, Lauren seemed like a great gal.
“You look really pretty” you turned to walk away. For a second, you felt this huge burden leave your shoulders. 
“(Y/N)!”
You turned to find Tuck running up to you “Where are you off to luv?” 
“I’m going home, I’m not feeling so good” you replied with a tight smile.
He eyed you sternly, “Are you okay? Did something happen?”
“Trust me, I’m fine. Sorry Tuck” your voice grew softer, patting him on the shoulder.
FDR approached Tuck, who watched you walk away with a confused expression.
“Is (Y/N) okay?” Tuck asked his friend. “Well she certainly didn't seem right in head to me” FDR replied angrily, shaking his head.
“I really don't follow” Tuck got even more confused.
“Tuck, you’re not gonna BELIEVE what just happened”
----------
As much as you didn't want to face FDR the next day at work, you also wanted to apologize for being a jerk in front of Lauren. You came to work early as usual. As you were heading to get a pot of coffee, you stopped by Tuck’s table to check up on him.
“Good Morning Mr.Hanson…or should I say Handsome?? Hah!” you greeted him teasingly. He smiled warmly while typing some emails. “ ‘Morning Luv! You feeling better today?” he closed his laptop to look at you.
“Oh it was just a headache, a good night’s rest did the trick” you gave him thumbs up, automatically looking over to FDR’s table “What happened to FDR?”
“Oh he took the day off today so wont be coming in” Tuck replied, turning side to side on his chair.
“I see…Oh! Dude…how did the date go last night?”
Tuck opened his mouth but stopped himself to think of a better reply. Chuckling, he went “Oh…you know, didn't work out that well” he shrugged his shoulders. You didn't believe him. “What? That's insane…I saw the lucky lady and she looked hawt!” you folded your hands leaning on FDR’s table. “Yeah I guess, but we didn't really click that well in the end” he replied nonchalantly. You still didn't believe him.
“Well, I’m sorry to hear that Tuck. Maybe it didn't work out for a reason. So, have hope!” you cheered him and while walking away to get that coffee.
“I will ” Tuck whispered, watching you leave, and hoping you were right.
--------
Few days later, you heard some colleagues talking about this dangerous mission Tuck was assigned to, and how he will be going out to the field. You rushed to look for Tuck, finding him leaving his table to get ready.
“Please…please be careful, and promise me you’ll be okay” you felt so corny, saying all these things to him. Tuck, touched by your worried reaction, reached out to hold your hand.
“Don't worry luv! I’ll be fine, I promise” he sounded sure. You nodded in acknowledgment, trying not to be distracted by the warmth of his touch.
------
Hours later, Tuck returned to the Agency after a successful mission, but also with a few bruises. He insisted he didn't need a cleanup. But with your persuasion, a medic came by to fix him up. When the medic left, you came in to the room and sat on a chair next to the door, facing a sitting Mr. Hanson on a chair next to the bed, looking exhausted.
“ You really didn't have to call on medic for this, luv” Tuck pointed at the several cuts and scars on his face which didn't seem so severe.
“Doesn't matter the severity, you needed cleaning up.” You crossed your legs “I heard you did a great job today, I’m REALLY proud of you, you know” you meant every word you said, smiling.
Tuck smiled back, but quickly looked down. Pursing his lips, he looked up and spoke shyly,
“FDR told me what happened at the fair.”
You felt the whole world crashing down on you as if the worse nightmare has happened. You wanted to get away from this room.
“I’m so sorry about th-“ you quickly got up
“No please! Don’t go “ Tuck said hurriedly, motioning you to stay. “Please stay” his voice got softer. You slowly sat down, afraid of what might come out of his mouth next.
“To be honest, it felt quite nice to hear that someone was speaking on behalf of me...”he continued, his blue eyes on you, begging for you to look back at him.
“But I just got to ask...why? Why would you do that (Y/N)?”
You summed the courage to look up at him, praying you won’t get your heart broken by rejection.
“You know, I’m not the one to pick a fight Tuck, I really am not” you began,
“…But that day, when I saw them together, I just couldn’t take it. Why must FDR only deserved to be happy and not you? Why must that happen when you did nothing but be a great guy. The spying thing was CRAZY, I WILL say that. But even from the beginning, Even WITHOUT the spying, you were doing SO well and you STILL didn’t get the girl. And it JUST PISSED ME OFF” the more you spoke the braver you sounded. You sat on the edge of your seat.
“And it pissed me off a hell lot cause I...I...” with eyes closed, you took a deep breath, clenching your fists.
“I have liked you for a really long time Tuck”
You maintained eye contact as you finished. 
There it was, bold move number two.
You couldn’t read Tuck’s expression, but it did look as if he wasn’t expecting that. 
“(Y/N)!-“ he let out a chuckle. “What?” You were dying of curiosity. He moved around in his seat as if to calm oneself. Was he nervous?
“You might have not known this, but when I first met you in the Agency, I thought you were quite lovely” 
Your heart skipped a beat.
“Actually, I thought you were very beautiful, and seeing you around always cheered me up” you blinked fast; you didn’t know how to react.
Am I dreaming? 
“I even went so far to assume you already had a boyfriend-“
“You what?” That escaped your lips faster than you could think. Loudly too. 
Tuck smiled, he found your reaction adorable. “ Come on (Y/N)! Was I wrong to assume that? Why would someone like you want someone like me?” 
“You CAN’T say that! That’s my line ” you protested, to which Tuck burst out laughing. You couldn’t help but chuckle. You adored the way Tuck laughed. You loved seeing him happy.
Fuck! I really like him. 
“Anyways, after a while the Lauren thing happened, and then with Katie again and, nothing seemed to fit right with me” his tone changed, and it was sad.
You just had enough of this. You just couldn’t take it. 
Standing up, you slowly walked over to him, not breaking eye contact. Tuck looked surprised as you suddenly sat on his lap. You longed for courage as your hands found his face, fingers touching his skin so softly. 
Savor this moment.
Slowly moving forward, you kissed him. 
Savor. 
You kissed him like it was your first and last time. 
This. 
You kissed him, trying to pour all your feelings into one kiss cause you were afraid this will be your only chance.
Moment. 
5 seconds, it lasted 5 seconds.
You removed your lips from his, giving him a soft smile, stroking his cheek with your thumbs looking at his fazed expression. You sighed deeply. You got up.
Frankly you really didn’t want to let this one go.
To your surprise, neither did Tuck. 
He grabbed your hand, his grip hard as steel, so strong you fell back to his lap. You looked at him with shock. 
“Tuck, what are y-“ 
“No more assuming,” he breathed, pulling you to a kiss.
Kissing Tuck was lovely. Tuck kissing you was magical. But when this was fused together, it was just fireworks. It certainly didn't seem so unfamiliar; at least not by the way Tuck was touching you. He held you up so you could straddle him. Lips were in a conversation of its own.
Where the fuck have you been?  
You felt butterflies in your stomach as you felt his hands run up and down your back, finally settling down to your waist, pulling you even closer to him. The kisses turned deeper and more passionate. The distance between the two of you got smaller, to the point of the bodies grinding against one another.
Tuck broke off the kiss reluctantly, and you suddenly returned to earth.
“(Y/N)…uh...I…” he panted, gently holding your cheek “ as much as I would like to continue THIS, I really want to do this RIGHT, you know, take you out on a date first” he spoke earnestly, looking in to your eyes.
You giggled, “Hehehe…yeah true. I’d like that too…” You felt so ecstatic you hugged him super tightly,
“Finally, I have you ALL to myself” you whispered excitedly to his ear.
“You can’t say THAT!  That’s MY line” Tuck responded teasingly, hugging you back.
Tuck WAS the better guy, and he made YOU the better girl.
With the help of a few bold moves you will never regret.

AN: long awaited im sorry im an anxiety and stress ridden person, if i was a dog i probably would be a chihuahua but here we go!
The sun filtered in through the windows around your room, and you were very content with staying wrapped in these warm blankets. You groaned, tossing your head back on the pillows on the mattress as you prepared yourself to get up. You had to get up, you had to get your mind off of everything, and you had to see this through.
You threw the blankets off of you and stood, grabbing your light robe and pushed your arms through, and opened your bedroom door. Right as you walked down the hall you were met with the sweet smell of coffee and eggs, and Steve turned slightly to look at you, “Good morning,” he greeted.
Steve turned around and in a few seconds he placed a plate of two fried eggs and toast popped out your toaster, “I figured you had a late night, and that this time I’d cook.”
You smiled softly and walked over to the coffee maker and grabbed a mug out of the overhead cabinet, and proceeded to pour yourself a cup, “Yeah, it was.. intense.”
You fought the flashes of memories of the night and sipped the hazelnut concoction in your hand, and slid next to Steve, “How do you like your eggs?” he asked. You took another quick sip, needing as much caffeine in your system as possible, you set the mug down and reached across his large body for the pepper shaker, “A little well done, I really like the edges to be crunchy.”
Steve chuckled as your shook a little more pepper onto the egg that was cooking, “Crunchy edges, I’ll make sure to remember that.”
Your phone began to rang and you slapped his shoulder, grabbing your phone out of your robe, and taking a seat on a bar stool not even glancing at the name that was calling, “Hello?”
“Good morning, sunshine,” Tony Stark’s voice rang in your ear and you almost choked on the present sip of coffee you had in your mouth.
“Mr. Stark!” you exclaimed, trying not to cough, and fanned your face, Steve had turned around to hand you your plate, and leaned back against the counter to watch the exchange, “what-what can I do for you?”
“I just got off the phone with James, and he told me about how late you had stayed last night and what happened,” oh god “and I just wanted to thank you for putting in so much hard work, but I know that took time away from you and Steve.”
You shook your head, “Oh really, he doesn’t mind, he knows how big this case is.”
“Still, I know how hard it must be for you two to try seeing as he comes only on Fridays, so I wanted to give you the day off.”
“Oh Mr. Stark,” you placed your hand on your forehead, “really, we’re fine!”
“No I won’t have it,” he explained, “I also found the perfect listing for you two to see! My friend Rhodey is an agent, and he told me about this place that sounded perfect for you two. I’ve sent a car already, just let me know your thoughts!”
“Mr. Stark..” before you could finish he said his goodbyes and that he was looking forward to seeing you two tomorrow night for dinner, and hung up. You held the phone against your ear and just closed your eyes.
“What’s he saying?” Steve asked with a raised brow.
“Nothing, he hung up I’m just wondering how I let this get to this point,” you set the phone down and clapped your hands, “so he sent us a car and wants us to go look at a place!”
Steve still had a raised brow and raised his finger, almost pointing at you, “Woah wait, a place? A place for..?”
You groaned, “He thinks we’re still looking for a place to live together when we.. well y’know, get married.”
Steve nodded and let a small ah out of his mouth, you shook your head, “I’m sorry, Steve.. I’m so so sorry I’m getting you wrapped up in all of this,” you said quietly, and began to fiddle your thumb again.
“Woah woah woah woah, okay no hey,” Steve rambled as he walked around the tiny island and sat next to you. He slowly turned you to face him as he spoke, “you didn’t have a choice (Y/N). This wasn’t your idea, and I know this wasn’t the way you wanted to get that job,” Steve pushed a small piece of hair behind your ear, “so let’s just make the best of this, yeah? Let’s have our breakfast, and go see the place, and then you can show me around the city.”
As he spoke you just nodded along. He was right. You didn’t ask for any of this! Wasn’t even your idea, it was Nat’s. And if you came clean, you never would’ve been given the case you deserved.
“Okay alright,” you smiled as you looked down at Steve’s large hands wrapped around your small ones, and how they were stroking the back of your hand, “so breakfast and then out on the town.”
So you two had breakfast, side by side and quietly and then you excused yourself to change. You slid on a pair of black jeans, and grabbed a light shirt and tucked it into the front of your jeans, and finally slid on a comfortable pair of shoes before hearing your phone vibrate. You sat on the edge of your bed and ran a hand through your loose hair.
The message was from James.
“I didn’t think he’d give you the day off to be with him.”
You sighed and bit your lip, when a message from Natasha stopped you from replying, and in the background you heard a knock at your front door.
“Stark gave you a car and a day off? Man I wish I were you right now.”
You grumbled, typing out a quick reply, “He sent a car, and wants us to go meet his realtor friend to show us a place. When this is all over, you’re dead.”
At the sight of the little three dots, you turned your screen off and threw open your bedroom door, hearing Steve’s voice carry down the hall to you, when your phone vibrated again. It was another message from Nat.
“Oh honey.. you don’t know yet do you.”
Just as you were about to reply, there was another message from Bucky, only saying “I miss you. I need to see you.”
No. No no no. You shoved your phone into your pocket and walked down the remainder of the hallway and came face to face with Steve twirling something in his hand, “What’s that?”
“Hm? Oh nothing just,” he held up a pair of car keys, “your boss may have given us a car.”
So there you two were. An hour later, stuck in traffic, heading out of the city to the North. Steve had one hand on the wheel, the other arm rested against the center console, and he just had the biggest smile on his face, “Seriously it’s been how long since you’ve driven?”
You laughed and hit his arm, “There’s no need! I can walk to work, there’s Taxi’s, Uber, Lyft, you gotta get with the times.”
Steve shook his head, “Imagine having to pay all those fares while stuck in this traffic,” he motioned ahead of him, “how much further is this place?”
You glanced down at your phone while a small um, left your lips, “30 more minutes actually. And y’know what? Stop your griping old man.”
Steve stared over at you before quickly focusing back on the road, “Did you just call me old man?”
You stifled a laugh by placing your fingers against your lips, and looking out the window, “Yeah maybe I did.”
After another forty five minutes your phone announce that you had arrived. You were sitting at the end of a cul-de-sac in a small and quiet neighborhood, but there was no house on the street, all you could see was a long driveway.
“It’s down there isn’t it?”
Steve nodded, and you sighed, “Do we really have to do this?”
“We came this far, might as well see it, right?”
You grumbled and nodded, “Okay fine, alright! I see why you chose to teach Mr. I’m-Always-Right.”
Steve laughed, pointing the car down the driveway and past the open iron gate, “It’s Mr. Doing-the-Right-Thing, actually.”
Just as you were going to reply, Steve had turned the graceful corner and there sat the most beautiful house you had ever seen. It sat nicely in the middle of a large plot of land, and driveway looped around the front and towards a garage off to the side of the house. You couldn’t tell if your mouth had fallen open, but you didn’t care at this point. 
“Jesus..” he muttered and came to a stop at the front of the house, a sidewalk led to the front steps of the plantation style home, and you turned to him.
“You sure you wanna go in?”
“Don’t think we have much of a choice,” he motioned to the steps and you spun around to see a man exiting the house, who you could only assume was ‘Rhodey’ as Mr. Stark called him. He waved with a smile on his face, before re-buttoning his suit jacket, and Steve was already turning the engine off and opening his door, “Sit tight,” he said before closing his door.
You watched him walk around the car and pulled on the handle of your door, and a nice warm breeze hit you. Steve offered his hand, and you took it, your eyes not leaving his, as a sudden wave of nervousness hit you. You stood, and Steve closed the door behind you, before lacing his fingers between yours, and your stomach fluttered.
“It’s gonna be fine,” he whispered close to your ear and you nodded, taking your first steps towards Rhodey, and up the stairs.
The man beamed at you two as you stepped onto he gorgeous wooden porch, “You must be (Y/N)!” he exclaimed and reach out for your hand to shake, then did the same to Steve, “And you’re the mysterious Steve.”
“That would be me,” he said with a slight shrug, and the two men laughed.
“Well, my names is James,” he started and your stomach dropped, “why don’t we go inside?” he motioned to the double doors, and pushed one open.
Holy. Shit.
You had never stepped in anything more..more beautiful. It opened into a short hallway, that opened up to the main floor, a white cabinet lined kitchen the first thing you see to your right, and the wood floor flowing into the whole space.
You felt yourself pulled inside by the house, and the door closed behind you two. You were in your own little world.
“So this home is four bedrooms, three bath with a mother in law suite just off the kitchen there,” he motioned to your left, “the master is downstairs and the remainder are all upstairs, giving you plenty of room for..growth,” he said and your turned to look at him, your eyes noticeably glazed over.
“Please, feel free to look around on your own,” he finished and you nodded, finally looking over to Steve, who was all but watching you, doing his best to control a chuckle. You were starstruck, he could tell.
You moved first pulling him into the kitchen, and you released his hand to touch the dark grey granite countertops, “I think I’m in love,” you said to him, touching and opening everything you could. One drawer was actually a small fridge, the stove was gas, one glass door cabinet lit up when you opened it, and you spun around to look at Steve who was next to the fridge, “this is the best kitchen-” and then you gasped, “is that a double oven?!”
You rushed over, Steve darting out of your way, “I had no idea you were so passionate about kitchens,” he joked as you held onto the oven and you peered inside.
“If there’s one thing I took from my mother, it’s the appreciation of a kitchen layout,” you tapped your chin, “speaking of, where's the pantry?”
Steve walked into the living room, completely open from the kitchen and looked to the left where a door was open, “Oh it’s there,” he motioned and your rushed over and stood in the door frame before gasping, “what?” he asked.
“It a walk in.. now this is a pantry.”
And that’s how the rest of the tour was, Steve watched you giddily walk around the whole house, gawking and mesmerizing over every little detail that you cared about. James Rhodes gave you his card and even told you he was holding this listing if you two were interested. You thanked him and expressed how much you loved it, and as the sun began to fall, Steve and you were headed back into the city.
This ride was quieter, the radio playing softly in the background as he drove and you just looked out the window, humming along to the music. Steve occasionally glanced over to you as he drove, listening to the directions the phone spit out every once in awhile until you were in a familiar area. You finally turned to look at him, “Pull in there,” you said while you sat at a red light.
“The garage?” he asked looking at the one coming up to his right and you nodded.
“Yeah, park in there.” you instructed, and when the stop light turned green, he swung the car into the garage and a few minutes later was lucky enough to find a parking spot. He shifted the car into park and you unbuckled yourself.
“Wait where are we going?” Steve asked, quickly undoing himself as you opened your door, He barely had his open when you closed yours and began to walk, “Oh come on (Y/N)! Hold up!” he called after you and you smiled to yourself.
“Come on old man, you wanted to see the city and I’m gonna show you the city.”
Steve had finally caught up to you as you both exited the garage he looked down towards you, “I’m from Brooklyn, you know,” he nudged you and you rolled your eyes.
“Yeah yeah, I know,” you replied, nudging him back in his side, “but I want to show you something.”
Steve nodded, and walked beside you through the crowded street, noting that you two were pretty close to your apartment building from what he could remember about the surroundings, but you led him down another few blocks away, and the people seemed to almost disappear. It was quiet, and it was noticeably cooler than before. The sun was positioned lower, giving the city an orange hue as you grabbed his hand, pulling him out of his daze, “Come here,” you motioned up to a townhouse, where it looked like there was a gangle of people inside.
“So where are we?” he asked as you walked up the steps, and from the window he could see a red headed woman sip at her drink and meet his eyes, then almost dash to the door.
“I thought it’d be fun to introduce you to,” the door swung open, and you motioned forward, “Natasha Romanoff.”
Nat had her hip on the door and her drink in one hand as she reached out for Steve to take the other, “Truly a pleasure,” she smiled beautifully at him and he glanced your way before taking her hand with a smile, “hm nice grip. Why don’t you two come in.”
She opened the door wider and you led him in, there was small group of people in her living room and a couple in the kitchen pouring themselves drinks. Natasha put her arm on Steve’s back, guiding him away from you, and you hadn’t even noticed you were still holding his hand until his fingers dragged form your palm.
“Steve, this is my husband, Clint,” she introduced, and the two men looked at each other with a half smile, “Clint, distract him while we go talk about Steve.”
You narrowed your eyes as she dragged your away, and you mouthed an ‘I’m sorry’ towards your fake fiancé, who nodded slightly before you disappeared around the corner.
“I’m glad you came,” she said as she pulled a whine glass out off the counter and started to pour you a drink, “first tell me, how was that house?”
“Oh Nat.. It really was beautiful. Really like a dream come true.”
She grinned and handed you your glass, and you tapped it with your finger, causing her to raise her brow, “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know,” you sighed, taking a quick glance over your shoulder, “I just feel bad, with the whole.. y’know.”
“Oh the whole James and you sleeping together thing?” Her saying that made you take a deep breath and take a large sip of your drink.
“Listen, it was just sex, and Steve and you aren’t..together for real, don’t feel bad,” she touched your arm, “but really, wow he is easy on the eyes.”
You smiled as she walked back towards her husband, and you caught a quick glimpse of Steve. He really was easy on the eyes. Especially those pretty blue eyes, and his short beard and soft looking hair.
You realized you didn’t really know much about him, just a very teeny tiny bit. You took another sip of your drink and decided to go over to him. He was chatting with another guy, slightly shorter, you recognized him a bit from Nat’s circle of friends, and stood to the side before Steve noticed you there.
“Hey,” he greeted with a smile and motioned over to his new friend, “have you met Sam?”
“Nope don’t think so,” you replied, and Steve almost automatically wrapped an arm around you and you couldn’t help but smile to yourself.
“Sam this is (Y/N), I thought you two would know each other since you run in the same crowd.”
“Ah well, we may work together, but no where near one another, just hearsay really.”
There was a knock on the front door that you were able to tune out, and you found yourself slowly lean into Steve’s side. You were relaxed, a very very slight buzz caused a warming sensation in your throat, as you felt Steve breath evenly beside you. You raised your glass to your lips as you heard a familiar laugh behind you. You glanced over your shoulder, and had to do a double take at the person entering Natasha’s home.
James was here.

Finifugal | Park Chanyeol [02]
Tumblr media
✧ finifugal - hating endings; of someone who tries to avoid or prolong the final moment of a story, relationship, or some other journey.
✧ 01 | 02 | ???
✧ Genre: Bodyguard!au, angst, fluff, romance, probably smut at some point lets be honest
✧ Summary: After an ambush that leaves your left shoulder in stitches, your head bodyguard decides to scour the country in search for a new recruit to help up your safety - when Park Chanyeol shows up and his first request is to dye his hair, you can’t help but wonder who in the world Junmyeon just so happened to recruit.
✧ Word Count: 2k [ I swear I am trying to make these longer but my brain just refuses im v sorry friends :( ]
                                         ✧
 “I’m... I’m sorry?” Is the first thing that manages to escape your parted lips as you blink in confusion at the man - who called himself Park Chanyeol - and his rather unusual request.
 “I asked if I could dye my hair pink, boss lady,” Chanyeol snorts at your questioning stare, gesturing a bit crudely to Junmyeon, who is standing beside him and glaring at the new recruit with a stingy glare, “the other boss guy here said I can’t because its like, unprofessional or whatever.”
 You glance over at a fuming Junmyeon, who is vehemently glaring daggers at Chanyeol. Clearly this giant of a man had to be a phenomenal sort of bodyguard if his personality was shining so much that one of your calmest, most patient men was having a difficult time keeping his cool. “Honestly, I could care less. Just try to keep me breathing and you can turn your hair into a fucking rainbow for all I care.” You admit with a soft shrug, purposefully keeping your gaze locked on Chanyeol instead of your head guard who’s sharp glare was burning glares onto your skin.
 “Fuck yeah - okay so far, you are my favorite person here boss lady-”
 “Okay not to sound like a bitch, but I have a name, which is not boss lady,” you cut him off, “its Y/N. Please, no more boss lady.” It comes out as an exasperated plea, and you narrow your eyes at the tall man when he snickers and steps closer to you, now having to tilt his head down to properly look at you.
 “What, not kinky enough for you?”
 Your eyes turn into saucers. “Excuse me-?”
 “You are excused, boss,” Chanyeol takes a turn to interrupt you now, his tongue suddenly darting out to slick his slightly chapped lips, “I’m gonna go and, you know, dye my hair so if you need me, you know where I’ll be.” He finishes with a deep chuckle, running his fingers through his mess of brunette hair before he turns around once, twice, and finally a third time.
 “Hey boss, where can a guy find a bathroom around here?”
                                         ✧
 You really didn’t know how you ended up in one of the master bathrooms with Park Chanyeol. One minute you were being baffled by his bluntness and crude humor, then the next minute you were begrudgingly leading him into your bathroom upstairs and helping him dye his hair a pretty pink.
 Considering you had never dyed someone’s hair before, you had at first tried to convince the man to go to an actual salon where a professional could make sure his hair (which was incredibly soft and naturally curly) wasn’t completely destroyed by an amateur. Yet he had shrugged a bit too carelessly and dragged the stool from your vanity towards the sink, plopping down onto it with a grunt.
 “It’ll be just fine boss, promise. Make me pretty already for fuck’s sake.”
 And so you did - or so your pride said with a smug look once the dye had settled in, the pale but beautiful color coming through even more once you had blow-dried his hair, revealing the curls he had spoken of, curled into soft ringlets now painted pink. “Not bad, not bad.” He hums in content, staring at his reflection in the wide mirror hung onto the wall.
 You huffed in disbelief from where you stood by the tiny trashcan next to the sink, slipping off the blue latex gloves and letting them fall into trash along with the box the dye had come in. “Not bad? I think it looks great, coming from someone who has never dyed hair before.”
 Chanyeol stifles a laugh at your statement, going to rest his chin on the palm of his hand as he turns his attention to your offended gaze. “Ah, so you think I look hot, then? I knew the pink hair was going to be a hit with the ladies.”
 It is in that exact moment in time that you realize this guy is really, really going to get long with Byun Baekhyun.
 Gingerly you walk over to his slumped over posture, abandoning your façade of gentleness the second you smack his bare arm. “Fuck off, Chanyeol, you know what I meant.”
 “Uh huh, I know what you meant.” He hums with a sly, wolfish wink and grin. Before you can protest any further, he’s slid off from the stool and slung the spotted towel you had lent him onto the tiled floor. He lets out a loud groan and bends his back, a resounding ‘pop!’ erupting from his spine. Of course, you couldn’t exactly blame him, especially since you had really taken your time in dying his hair - paranoid that you were going to damage his hair beyond repair. That in itself would have been a loss to all naturally curly haired men in the world.
 Maybe two hours was a bit much. Maybe.
 But he hadn’t complained - not once, oddly enough. That also surprised you, especially since he had muttered complete and utter nonsense about the “fucking enormous” mansion and its “stupid ass three floors and shitty amount of staircases, like, boss, no one needs this much.”
 And you thought you had a potty mouth.
 “Thanks for the assistance boss,” he says casually, straightening out his back and running his fingers through his newly dyed pink hair for just about the hundredth time, “now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go explore for a bit. See you.” Chanyeol does a mock salute that you just nearly laugh at, watching as he retreats from your bathroom and goes about his business elsewhere in the mansion.
 You turn back to the mess that had been made in your bathroom, a disgruntled sigh passing through your lips.
 “Fuck, I really need to hire a maid.” Is the first thing you utter when he leaves, now left to your own devices in the muggy bathroom. The sink had water droplets splashed onto the counter it was dug into, with vivid pink splotches still on the gray steel of the sink itself (and a bit on the marble countertops as well.) Not wanting to leave your own bathroom too messy, you decide to get to work, first picking up a washcloth hung onto the neck of the sink so you could wet it and begin to wash away the leftover dye and excess water.
 For the next few minutes you simply wash away at the sink and counter, humming an old tune under your breath to entertain yourself. In your head, you wonder why you don’t just ask FRIDAY, the intelligence system constructed throughout the mansion, to page one of the boys and ask them to clean up. It wasn’t like they could necessarily refuse - but then again it would be a dick move to have your bodyguards clean up such a small mess.
 Its because you need to take your mind off of things - off of everything.
 You remind yourself of this almost unwillingly, your bottom lip jutting out into a silent grunt of reminiscent pain when you scrub away at a particularly jarring speck of god-knows-what on the marble counter, the damaged nerves in your left shoulder sending prickles up to your head. You are thankful that you didn't change into a tank top after Chanyeol had left, like you normally would have before cleaning, because then you would be able to see the nasty stitches embedded deeply into your still healing skin.
 Whenever you even caught a glimpse of them out of your peripheral vision you were struck with flashbacks. Flashbacks that gnawed at your conscious mind, screaming and pleading with you to just forget everything that had happened that night.
 You shake your head in a desperate attempt to rid yourself of those horrifying memories and go back to scrubbing at the dirty countertops, the throbbing of your shoulder starting to become all too familiar.
                                         ✧
 Once the sun has set over the horizon, you can see the distant dots of the city lights glowing and flickering in the background, a long ways away from the window you had been gazing through. If you were to bother yourself with concentrating hard enough, you might even be able to picture yourself back in the heart of Busan; exploring the bustling nightlife with your friends, tipping a talented group of buskers as you pause to watch how their limbs glide through the air almost flawlessly while they dance to the music.
 You miss Busan, no matter how much it doesn’t miss you.
 Luckily though, the boys have all seemed to welcome Chanyeol with open arms; albeit Junmyeon, Minseok, and Sehun were still cautious around him - which was expected of the trio, as they usually took time to warm up to just about anyone who wasn't you. While you probably would have pushed for the three men to not be so cold and rigid to the generally warm, bubbly newcomer, you knew now it was best to leave them be and hopefully develop a bond with him themselves. You were far past making the mistake of putting your full-hearted trust into someone so soon.
 Yes, Park Chanyeol was relatively kind and incredibly outgoing, a trait that became obvious when he willingly started to drag the ever stoic and quiet Kyungsoo into a debate about whether snakes had feelings or not with Baekhyun and Jongin. Even now you jumped a little whenever you could hear the four of them throwing themselves into a fit of loud, booming laughter - a pleasant sound you had come to miss for some time now. You were tempted by their laughter and joy, wishing to join in their carefree fun, but you were distracted by something else.
 “Is FRIDAY still down?” The man merely a few feet away questions you, to which you turn your longing gaze away from the shadows of Busan and to him, watching as he swiftly chops another onion without shedding a single tear. “Ah, so she is.” He concludes after not hearing an instant reply, noting the hesitation in your silent answer.
 “I don’t understand why she suddenly shut down, Dae. I’m the only one who can deactivate her system besides Yixing, and he’s still in Europe with Taeyong and Doyoung.” You express your growing concern over the intelligence system, pinching the bridge of your nose. It wasn’t normal for your systems to just, crash - in fact it had never happened before, not including the time Yixing shut her down so you would get out of bed and stop telling her to ‘bug off.’ Junmyeon and Minseok were the only other two of the boys who knew FRIDAY was currently out of commission, since you knew it might start a panic if the others figured out the biggest chunk of the security system was down.
 A panic was the last thing you needed on your plate, that much was for sure.
 Jongdae, who had moved the chopped pile of onions into a glass bowl to the side and was getting started on chopping a few peppers, opened his mouth to speak once more when the house shook a bit, causing him to pause abruptly.
 Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion as you looked outside the window once again, the lack of rain or even murky clouds merely fueling your wariness. In the background you could still hear the four boys laughing and chatting to their heart’s content, Baekhyun letting out a high pitched squeal in the midst of their fun.
 “Dae, it isn’t supposed to storm tonight, is it?” You ask him, still gazing outside the window.
 He makes a noise of confusion. “No, it’s supposed to be a dry week until Thursday. Why do you ask?”
 “Because there is no way that could’ve been thunder-”
 And suddenly you were being thrown backwards, your body going limp as the back of your head smacks the wooden floor with a sickening thud.
 There is no alarm, only the surprised shouting of the others and the sounds of shoes scuffling against the floor in a rush.
 And then, there is nothing.
                                          ✧
