Hi! Can you do a fluff Velvet x fem reader where they are secretly dating and by secret? I mean, like NOBODY knows, like not even Veneer and Crimp, etc. I'm going to leave the rest of what you wanna do with this prompt up to you (ex: just basic stuff or say someone found out yk).
A/N ~ Sure! Love this idea! Hope you enjoy!(Love your pfp btw, Cure Lovely is great!)
~It’s Nothing!~
Velvet x Fem!Reader
Fandom: Trolls 3: Band Together
Reader: Female
Relationship: Romantic, but nobody knows you’re dating.
Synopsis: You and Velvet are secretly dating, and something happens that nearly gets you caught.
Warnings: Secret relationship, risk of getting found out
Tumblr media
(Sorry for the low quality picture)
“You know, you don’t have to help us get ready? Especially since we don’t pay you. It makes me feel bad!” Veneer said as you put on his eyeliner.
“Oh it’s okay! I like hanging out with you guys, so might as well help.” You glanced over to Velvet, who was doing her hair. Truthfully, you mostly hung around to be with her. Not that you didn’t like Veneer, it’s just that you and Velvet had something going on. You’ve been secretly dating for about two months now, and it’s been great. Well, other than the fact that you have to be sneaky.
“Yeah. Just be thankful, Veneer. She does a way better job than Crimp anyway.” Said Velvet, not looking away from the mirror.
You laughed. “Oh, come on Vels, be nice. Crimp does her best!” Velvet scoffed, as if she didn’t agree with your statement. You playfully rolled your eyes.
Suddenly, one of the stage crew members popped their head in. “You’re on in three, guys!” He said, holding up three fingers.
Veneer let out a girlish scream, and hopped off the chair. “We better go! Thanks (Y/N)!” He grabbed Velvet’s arm, and dragged her out the door with him. Velvet gave a quick wave to you before vanishing, making you giggle.
It hasn’t been easy keeping your relationship a secret. Well, for you at least. Velvet seems to be doing okay. But you find it hard to hide your feelings. She makes you so happy, you can barely contain yourself.
You remember all the times she pulled you aside to give you a quick kiss. And all the times you barely caught yourself before saying “I love you” to her in public. You were so caught up in your memories, that you almost forgot about the performance! You yelped at the realization, and quickly sprinted into the audience.
~~~~
Velvet and Veneer exited the stage, waving goodbye to their ecstatic fans. Their performance left your voice, and many other people’s, nearly gone from all the cheering you’ve done.
You squeezed your way through the crowd, and made your way back to the dressing room. Velvet and Veneer weren’t there yet. You thought they were probably signing autographs, so you waited.
A couple minutes later, Velvet entered the room, but without her brother. “Where’s Veneer?” You asked.
“Still giving people unibrows. He might be a while.” She laughed. You did as well, imagining the line of people waiting to have Veneer draw on their face.
“Your show was great, by the way. As always.” You said, walking over to your girlfriend.
“I know, but thanks.” She said proudly. “I like how I can always see you in the crowd. It wouldn’t be the same without my number-one fan! Oh, and girlfriend.” She said that last part in a joking manner, as if she had forgotten you two were dating. You giggled, rolling your eyes.
“I love you, Vels.” You said, giving her a hug.
Velvet blushed. “You too.” She said, quickly. She wasn’t quite ready to say it back fully yet, but she still made an effort. Just so you knew she felt the same. When you let go of her, Velvet quickly pecked your cheek. You smiled at the gesture.
The door swung open, causing you and Velvet to jump away from each other. It was Veneer. “Woo, boy! My hand is tired! I’m sure I drew on, like, two hundred people’s foreheads!”
You laughed, then turned your attention back to Velvet. Her expression was not one you were expecting. She was staring at you, eyes wide, and mouth open, in shock. You gave a confused look, and mouthed a “what?”. She pointed to her cheek, then at the mirror. You turned to look at yourself, and what you saw made your face turn red.
There was a lipstick mark on your cheek, from Velvet. You slapped a hand over it, and whipped back around face her. You had a panicked look on your face, and silently asked her what you should do. Velvet put her arms up, gesturing that she didn’t know. Luckily, Veneer was still talking, so you had at least a little time to get rid of it.
You couldn’t go outside. People would see you leaving the twins’s dressing room with a red lipstick mark and would most likely put the pieces together. So instead, you shuffled to the vanity, praying to God that Veneer would keep on talking. Luckily, you spotted some makeup remover.
Velvet noticed, and walked over to you. She poured some on a cotton pad, while you kept your hand over the mark. She then moved your hand, and put the cotton pad on it, standing in front of you as you wiped the lipstick off. You then threw the cotton pad away.
Veneer had finished talking, and looked over at you. Noticing you and Velvet’s nervous expressions, he gave a questioning look. “Something wrong?” He asked.
“It’s nothing!” You blurted out, while Velvet nodded her head vigorously. Veneer shrugged, and moved to the vanity to remove his makeup. You and Velvet turned to each other, and let out a sigh of relief.
That was close.

“Why’d you do that?” Pt2
Tumblr media
A/N note: erm..part 2 after me going on a “hiatus” for like a year or so..erm..enjoy?
TW: Small mentions of cheating.
Back to present time
Bakugou has found himself quite lost..His stare became somehow empty those red eyes..It has been around a month, and he regrets cheating..He tried to contact you but it seemed that he was blocked on every socials, anything that could make you both talk or see each other.
On your side.
You’ve felt better. You still had that small amount of empathy..You had took a break of dating for a while but then..The romantic partner of you fantasies, came to life. They were anything you could ask for..They were head over heels for you. **They only had eyes for you.** It was a a relationship many people envied. After a while you had decided to take a walk as your lover kissed you goodbye. You walked around and even went to the supermarke , to buy yourself a few Snacks or food that you could eat on your walk. As you picked out what you wanted in the store ,You bumped into someone.
Their smell was oddly Familiar.
You look up to see those pair of infamous red eyes looking back at you. You muttered a small “Sorry.” Before trying to walk off but before you could even leave Bakugou grabbed your wrist. His grip was firm but gentle at the same time..It looked as if he hadn’t slept for days, heck! Even months..He had eye bags. As you took in his appearance you thought “Why do I care..” As he hold your wrist, you slowly look up at him. He opened his mouth before closing it again.it was silent for a while as he then spoke..
“..Look,I’m sorry..I messed up really bad. I know what I did wasn’t right..” He paused for a good while which you couldn’t help but wonder if it was for the effect or he was thinking of a way to formulate his next words. He then start again
“Do you think..**we** could be a thing again?..” he said a glint of hope and slight happiness in his eyes as he saw you for the first time in a while. Admiring your beauty..
but you quickly dismissed it harshly pulling your wrist away from his.
“you want **us** to be together again?! Did that other plastic Chick couldn’t satisfy you enough? Bakugou, no, we can’t..If you didn’t cheat we wouldn’t have this convention right now..You have so much audacity..but I may decline it..I founded someone who would :actually look at me with love. And not other people.” As you stopped talking you could see his through his eyes, his head shattered in pieces..As if you just stabbed his heart, ripped it apart and walk on it multiple times.
He just realized even more. That he had lost an amazing person. Nothing or no one could ever replace you.. Just as you left walking beside him, You swear you heard a faint whisper “Im sorry..I messed up real bad..” but you thought nothing of it.
Days, then weeks, Then months passed by. You were truly happy.Bakugou was still sad ,he tried everything to get his mind off you, he ended up dating an other chick..But it wasn’t right. He was so emotionally and physically distant that the girl left him. The weight on his shoulder got even heavier..
He just gave up; seeing you actually happy, with someone that wasn’t **him.**
𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝑒𝓃𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒻𝒶𝒾𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒶𝓁𝑒/𝟣𝟣𝟣𝟣 𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈𝒾
A/N note 2: I hope you guys enjoyed!even though it’s short and It probably didn’t make sense since I started writing this at like seven am and did not sleep cause I’m brain dead. Btw I’m actually think of doing a “good ending” version of this were you date Bakugou again but- why would you date someone who cheated? Ig we can say this is the ending where you found someone better and made Bakugo suffer lolz.. An d the other one, well he learned his lesson.<33 hope you have a great day!
*we will see each other soon..I promise it darling~*

It’s fuck boy story time Tumblr.. read till the end, I need advice
At 12:05 am, I’m sitting at the bar with my friend Emily and my work email goes off. Stressing out, I get up and go outside to deal with this work fire. A cute boy is sitting on the patio enjoying a cigarette, he’s 6’4, blue eyes with long brown hair tucked behind his ears with 1 strand dangling in his face. He sensed my stress and asked if I would like one. I smiled, accepted and thanked him. There’s something so sexual about a boy lighting a cigarette for you… 15 minutes later, when I finished my email, I walked back inside and found the cute boy sitting next to the chair where I was sitting, his name is RJ btw. After some witty banter, i introduced RJ to my friend Emily and he introduced me to his friend Paul. The 4 of us had a great evening, the conversation was flowing and the shots were pouring.
There was clearly some sexual tension between me and RJ, but like always, I was playing hard to get. After what is about to happen next, I’ve been finding myself over analyzing that evening. Was he really into me? Maybe I was being too flirty. But no…. Regardless of how drunk I was, I was SURE he was more into me than I was into him. HE asked for my number HE asked for my ig, asked ME on a date, asked if he could walk ME to my car….
Anyways, moving on. It was past last call and the bartender turned on the lights. We made our way outside and shared a cigarette before going our separate ways. Emily opened her big mouth and it slipped out that I was driving. Don’t get me wrong, I never drink and drive, in fact I hate when people do it. But this was a spur of the moment drunk and I just couldn’t leave my car in a public parking lot down town toronto, overnight… regardless, not an excuse I know.. RJ looked at me and refused to let me drive. After going back and forth about wether or not I should drive, we landed on me driving but RJ had to walk us to the car and I had to call him when I got home. And if I didn’t call him, he would call Emily to make sure I was okay. He got Emily’s number, he already had my number and Instagram from earlier on in the night. We get to my car, Emily hops in and I go in to give RJ a hug. He grabs me by the hips and kisses me. Soft, romantic, passionate but not raunchy… we said our goodbyes, I hop in the car and like classic girls, Emily and i scream OMG THAT WAS SO CUTE!!!!
Ready for it? Buckle up!
Once I make it home, safe. I text RJ and let him know, we go back and forth over text a few times, saying how lovely it was to meet me and to chat tomorrow about setting up a date for next week. I had butterflies. Moments later Emily texts me a screenshot or her conversation with RJ. He texted her once I said I was home, and proceeded to tell Emily how hot she was and how he wanted to rip her clothes off. Emily, trying to be nice, she kindly turns him down, followed by a few “lols”. At this point he’s basically begging her to come over at 4 in the morning…. That’s when she sent me the screenshot. I go to RJ, as we’re still texting and say…. Um yeah maybe don’t ask me on a date and then slide into my friends DM’s? I was trying to be casual, after all we did JUST meet. But I felt rejected. The audacity of this man. Like you were hitting on me all night in front of Emily and his friend. It was clear Emily was trying to wing man me. We were best friends, and he knew that. Did he honestly think I wasn’t going to find out? That’s comical. He apologizes profusely and said, we were calling him hot and it went to his head. I told him, she was trying to wing man. She wanted him for me not for her… whatever. He said he felt awful and totally read to signals wrong blah blah blah. I went to bed
The next day, I wake up to a text from RJ apologizing again. I laughed it off and said, yeah it’s okay, that just means you’ll have to work even harder. Throwing in some flirty banter. We spend the day going back and forth, getting to know each other. I thought he was super sweet and I totally forgave him for the night before and I blamed it on the alcohol.
The NEXT day (aka 2 days later) I pick Emily up and we head to a coffee shop to do a fun work from home day together. I update her on RJ and she goes… yah I need to talk to you about that…. Sitting in my passenger seat, Emily proceeds to tell me how the day after and even that morning, RJ was still texting her saying how much he liked her and wanted to fuck her…. I was trying so hard to hold back my tears. I felt absolutely rejected. But not only was he saying all this to my friend but he was saying things to her he never even said to me. With her he was all raunchy and talking about sex, with me he was a gentleman and polite and wanted to take me on dates and said I was special…. This was all too much. Emily left him on read but I still felt absolutely awful.
After our work from home day together and I drop Emily off at home. I get a text from RJ, in which I left on read. I hated him
4:48- How’s your Friday goin??
4:49- You look really cute in Emily’s Ig story :)
5:15- Can you send me your work schedule for next week again pleaseee?
At this point, I had to say something, maybe I was too soft and polite. Tumblr… You tell me…
ME- 6:04- Thank you! So I’m pretty upset, obviously you must know Emily showed me your guys convo. I don’t blame you, she’s a total babe, and I’m sure her being married and untouchable probably makes her even more desirable, I get it. Shooting your shot when you’re drunk, I can just laugh it off. I’m not the jealous type, I’m pretty chill but still saying those things to Em, today and yesterday really hurt my feelings. I actually liked you, I thought you were a pretty rad guy and I was looking forward to getting to know you. But I’m not one to compete for men, even though she wouldn’t cheat on her husband, I somehow still feel like I’m competing. I’m 30, I’m not going to put myself in a position where I’m going to be upset over a man this early in the game. I think I’ll just bow out and let you try to shoot your shot with Emily or whoever.
HIM- 6:05- Nooo no please don’t do that. I am not going to go after Emily, it was just silly flirting and it was immature. There’s obviously no chance for a future there, it was dumb. I genuinely apologize, but I promise there is no competition. I’m not going to chase after her, it was dumb. Will you give me a chance??
6:06- Please? I liked meeting you and am very intrigued by you - I was being an idiot
6:10- I was acting like the exact thing I hate. I understand if you don’t want to see me again, I am really sorry though. I hope you’ll let me try to make it up to you though
As a hopeless romantic- We some how ended the conversation with me saying I would give him another chance but my guard is up and this must be one hell of a date for me to forget what happened… we briefly texted over the weekend while he was away with him family. A day next week for our “date” has not been locked in but he said he has plans for our date already in mind. I haven’t heard from him since mid day yesterday… which is fine, he was away with his family after all… but why am I constantly checking my phone to see if he texted me? Why am I thinking about him? Why did I give him another chance? Would he even follow through with this date, will I even hear from him again? This is all so fucked up. And it’s fucking with my mind…
TUMBLR I NEED YOUR HELP! Please reblog, the more advice and help I can get the better! Thank you 🥹

Partner? | Rory Keaner x reader
Fandom: My babysitter’s a vampire
Request: “ Could you please write something for Rory from My Babysitters a Vampire? Where like Rory tells Benny and Ethan who hes dating and they think hes joking until they meet his partner (Btw if you could use gender neutral pronouns that would be amazing!)”
Pronouns: they/ them
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: None
~~~
Rory assumed that a ‘guys night’ at Morgan’s would be the perfect place to break the news of his new relationship to his friends. He was excited to tell them about his new favorite person in the world, who just so happened to also be his lover. Sometimes, he still couldn’t believe his luck! 
Rory knew it would be a big surprise but he didn’t exactly expect his 2 best friends to start laughing uncontrollably
“I’m serious guys!”
“Dude, calm down. We don’t have girlfriends either, you don’t have to make things up.” Ethan said, trying to sound reassuring. Meanwhile, Benny was wiping invisible tears at the corners of his eyes
“But I AM dating someone!”
“On sims?”
“Nah, I think he’s had a dream about that witch from his comic again”
“I’m talking about a real person from our school!” while others would have been fuming at all the teasing jokes Benny and Ethan were making, Rory couldn’t care less. He somewhat understood where they were coming from, he didn’t expect to get in a relationship anytime soon either and yet, you walked into his life when he least expected you
“So what’s their name?” Benny asked, finally going back to his more serious self, even though his face was still red from laughter.
“Y/N Y/L/N”
“Never heard of them” Ethan said quickly
“Yeah, cause they’re not part of your stupid laser chess club”
Ethan and Benny both looked up at their friend, amused
“Well, are they part of any club?”
“They’re actually on the soccer team! Nothing that you two would be familiar with!” Both boys burst into laughter
“Ok, so you mean to tell me” Benny started “ That you charmed one of the fine folks on the soccer team with your...what? Your vampire puns?”
“Or your obsession for crappy horror movies?
“For your information, it was my good looks and top tier personality”
Benny suppressed a laugh while Ethan got up and left the room
“Course it was” he added on his way out, with a giggle
“You’ll see monday!”
“ I mean” Benny said, raising his glass of orange juice, as if he was giving a toast “I can barely wait!”
The weekend passed by quickly. For you, it had been a very busy one, spent at your desk, catching up on all the homework and assignments you put off for far too long. It got to the point where the idea of a normal and unexciting day at school felt like a relief after the hectic hell you lived through.
Rory was waiting for you at the bus station, just as he had promised last night during your video call.
“Hi love!” he greeted you enthusiastically once you got off the bus. He pulled you in a tight hug and swayed you from side to side. Everytime he hugged you, he made it feel like you hadn’t seen each other in forever. He would wrap his strong arms around your waist and pull you to his chest, leaving you almost breathless, but you didn’t complain. It was one of the many ways he loved to show affection.
He laced his fingers with yours and led you on the short walk to school. He told you about his weekend and about how he wanted you to meet his friends, which made you very nervous. 
“Don’t worry” Rory said, reassuringly, “You are like, 10 times cooler than both of them combined!” you laughed at his silly joke. It did make you feel better. Rory always made you feel better.
Once inside, Rory dragged you though the sea of students, until finally he reached 2 brunette boys. One of them was taking books out of his locker and stuffing them into his bag, while the other one seemed to be waiting for him to get done.
“Guys, check this out! I told you I had a lover!” your face turned red at how loud and obvious your boyfriend was acting but you were slowly growing used to these kinds of things with him. The 2 boys in front of you looked shocked above all else. They shared one look, as if to say “You're seeing this too, right?” before glancing back at you
“Hi! I’m Y/N!” you said, reaching out your hand to the boy with the school bag
“I’m Ethan” he shook your hand lightly
“And I’m Benny'' the other boy said, reaching out his own hand for you to shake. As you shook his hand, he looked at you curiously, as if he wasn’t sure if you were just a product of his imagination
“Nice to meet you guys!” 
“So you are Rory’s partner?” Ethan asked in an innocent voice
“Yeah!”
“Like, romantic partner? Not just a video game partner!” Benny asked, making you laugh
“Romantic partner”
“Ha! Told you!” Rory waved his arms in their face, enjoying this little victory. 
The bell rang immediately after and you were forced to say goodbye and leave for your first class. You kissed Rory’s cheek quickly, promising him you’ll see eachother again at lunch. The last thing you heard before turning the corner was Benny’s voice
“I can’t believe you got a relationship before me!”

His Favorite Secret.
“I’m tired of being your secret.”
You can find the rest of the prompts here.
i really took this and ran with it huh...IT’S 4.3K WORDS
warnings: mentions of sex, gangs, alcohol, bondage
kinda obsessed with this gang!luke idea. also, i’m not sure if i wanna make “bambi” the reader or an oc, it works as either i believe? bambi is a nickname btw and i honestly feel like making more parts based on this concept tbh 
kinda wanna make another part LMAO idk what i’d do it on though </3
Tumblr media
Luke was better to her than anything you could possibly expect. He was surprisingly gentle when it came to her, hugging and caressing her that seemed impossible for the way he was and the life he lived. People saw Luke as the 6-foot-odd man that could rip you apart without an issue, without even breaking a sweat but he was so much more than that.
He was so much more than the leather jacket-wearing gangster that everyone depicted him as; heartless and stoic. He was a great lover if he let people in, and she had never been loved that way with anyone before. Surely though, with his life, there were complications to their relationship.
He was different from other people, more violent, more dangerous. The gang, which was run by Luke and three of his closest friends, Calum, Ashton and Michael, was well-known and feared among many, but they were left alone by the police. The police were aware that they existed, but they didn’t do anything about it. There were more cons to arresting them than there were pros.
Luke’s life made everything very interesting. He was rich, of course, and after a while of them dating she had moved into his condo. It was massive, bigger than any house she had ever lived in before and it was just for the two of them. It was a luxurious life that she had not experienced before, and she was still getting used to it.
If there was one thing about Luke that she had learned, it was that buying her things was his love language. He never had been great at the romantic side of their relationship considering he hadn’t had a girlfriend in a long time and normally just had one-night stands, but he tried his best. That didn’t meant that he ever softened up during sex, though. 
Another thing about his life that made stuff interesting was that Luke had to drop things for work. Sometimes stuff would go wrong on a run, or other gangs would try stuff with them and he would have to leave. It was understandable, but still frustrating for her, especially the one time where an emergency had occurred right in the middle of them having sex.
Luke had been very busy the past few weeks, having to deal with numerous issues with the gang and barely having enough time to spend with the needy girl who craved his attention. There had been issues in the club, that was what he had said, but he didn’t go into much detail on the matter, he never did. He liked to keep his relationship and gang life very separate from one another. 
A lot of the mornings this week she had woke up alone, void of the warmth she liked to cuddle into in the morning. At least she was getting him all to herself this weekend, she thought. After barely spending anytime with her that weekend, Luke had promised they would spend the weekend together, even if the club was set on fire. Calum, Ash and Mike will deal with it. 
“Bambi?” The nickname fell from his lips when he stepped in the front door. She brought her eyes up to look at him, happiness filling her features. She hadn’t been expecting him home for another few hours, but she definitely wasn’t complaining.
Running over to him, she jumped, knowing full well that he would catch her as her arms wrapped around his neck. Her head snaked into the nape of his neck, comfortingly taking in the scent of her favorite person, his arms holding her protectively close to his body. They were alone, thankfully enough. After all, she really hadn’t thought out her jumping hug because her short skirt had ridden up, showing off her underwear which Luke most definitely would be furious if anyone but him saw.
“Welcome home,” She whispered into his neck, hand coming up to play with the hair on the back of his neck. Her eyes fluttered, eyelashes tickling the skin on Luke’s neck as he rubbed her back, taking in the comfort of having the smaller girl in his arms.
He walked forward so that he was fully in the house, using his leg to kick the door shut behind him before walking towards the middle of the room near the couch. He slowly lowered himself until he was sitting down on the plush cushions, the girl now in his lap, still being held closely.
“Bambi?” Luke started, making sure that the girl was listening, to which she hummed into the side of his neck, not willing to move just yet, “I know you wanna hug and kiss and stuff right now but we don’t have much time to pack your bags, you have to stay at the safe house for a few days.”
Almost immediately, the warmth of her face was gone from his neck, and her hands were no longer playing with his hair. She was still held tightly on his lap, mostly because he held her there with a semi-firm grip, her looking up at him with furrowed eyebrows and sad eyes.
This wasn’t the first time this had happened. In fact, it had happened quite a few times and each time it made her rather frustrated. She had to remove every single piece of evidence that she even existed in the apartment, and get hidden away in a safe house for the entire weekend, on the edge of town, where she wasn’t allowed to leave until Luke got her himself.
She hated the safe house.
“But you said-”
“Bambi,” Luke cut her off rather firmly, sending her a look which she knew meant that there were no arguments in this. She almost wanted to whine, to argue with Luke and tell him that he said this was going to be their weekend together, just them, no gang stuff, but now she wasn’t even going to get to see him at all this weekend, “I need to have a few low levels over to go over plans, and they’ll be over tomorrow which means we can’t let them know you’re here or that you exist. They still can’t fully be trusted yet, which means that they could be moles and I’m not putting you at risk for that.”
His speech was ended in a soft tone, looking down at her with a small amount of sadness for the girl. His hand comfortingly raked through her hair, piercing blue eyes looking at her but her eyes stay looking down. Slowly, without saying anything, she climbed off of his lap and started to retreat to their bedroom.
“Bambi? Where you goin, baby?” He called out, looking at the girl who stopped in her tracks, looking over her shoulder.
“I’m packing. That’s what you wanted me to do, was it not?”      
Not many words were exchanged afterward with the girl silently packing away every aspect of her life into two duffle bags. She wasn’t even allowed to properly live in her own house, no decorations, photos in frames, nothing. Everything she owned had to be easily removable so it looked like she didn’t even exist in her own home.
Luke watched her from the bedroom door, leaning against the frame coolly as he analyzed her movements. He knew she was frustrated, but she had to know he was doing this to protect her, she should have anyway. Rather harshly, she finally zipped up the duffle bags, throwing them over her shoulder and walking straight past Luke without acknowledging him.
He understood that she was frustrated, but was she really angry at him?
She was quickly at the door, grasping at the handle when Luke had snapped out of his thoughts, walking over to her quickly with ease, taking a grip on her arm.
“You okay?”
“Dandy,” She replied bluntly, looking away from the slightly concerned man, almost as if she was itching to get away from him. Normally, even if she wasn’t happy about being sent away to the safe house, she still gave him a goodbye kiss, but it appeared that he wasn’t going to get one of those tonight, “Gotta go. Wouldn’t want to keep Jacob waiting, would we?”
She walked out of the apartment without another word, but Luke’s eyes were on her retreating figure, “We’ll speak about this on Sunday, okay baby?”
He barely even seen the nod that she sent him before she disappeared down the hallway.
. . . “Please, Jacob,” She pleaded with the driver, with puppy eyes and everything but he tried his best to remain stony-faced. Jacob was the only driver that Luke trusted Bambi with, he had grown up with the boys too, childhood friends with Michael apparently, who Bambi had never even met before.
Jacob was the leading driver for the gang, one of the getaway drivers for bigger and more important heists or events, but normally he just got called in for private transport of any important members of the gang. He, as well as practically anyone who had ever met the girl, had a soft spot for her, and she knew that.
“You do realize if I take you there that I am directly disobeying orders of the leader of one of the biggest gangs in California?” He asked ridiculously, shaking his head with his hands placed firmly on the wheel.
“Jacob-”
“No,” He replied firmly, looking at the girl through the rearview mirror, seeing her begging eyes and sad face.
The man knew that everything was frustrating for the girl, especially when she had to get up and move out of her own house just so that Luke could host meetings and debriefings for the gang.
“Please, Jacob. I’m going to be cooped up in a safe house for three days without talking to anyone, at least let me go to Anna’s for a few hours. She’s been my best friend since I was three, she’s trustworthy.”
The black-haired man didn’t reply for several moments, and a frown fell onto the girl’s face before he started to signal off the highway. It was a familiar road, the one that she had taken many times before to her best friend’s house, and honestly, she had never been happier to see it. At least she would get some enjoyment this weekend.
“Thank you so much, Jacob, just tell me how I can repay you,” The girl said once she was out of the car, bouncing lightly in excitement while she stared at the man who was still inside the car.
He gave her a small smile, one that showed he knew how much appreciation she felt towards him before his eyes turned to the door behind her, “Just enjoy yourself and make sure he doesn’t fire me for this.”
“Consider it done.”
It was nice to see Anna again, it had been two weeks since their last meet up and they had both missed each other greatly. Anna was drinking alcohol, but the smaller girl wasn’t. It wasn’t like she was afraid of what Luke would say if she did, because she certainly wasn’t afraid of Luke, but even though she was angry she didn’t want to disappoint him.
Not that she had exactly abided by his rules anyway, considering she was with Anna right now instead of locked inside the safe house. The safe house had slowly become the girl’s own personal prison, it was bare, bland, and had nothing for her to entertain herself, and there was no company. That’s what she hated most about it, the lack of social interactions she could have while she was in there.
“-we were talking about the weather and shit right? Then he asked to see my tits! I was like are you being serious right now?” Anna rambled on, talking about another failed love interest that had been using her for her body. Anna never seemed to be lucky in the dating apartment of life, but she was a successful girl, and a beautiful one at that, she would get there. 
“Was he?”
Anna scoffed, taking another drink of her alcohol, “Yeah! He blocked me after I sent him pictures of minecraft chests and asked him what ones were his favourite.”
The smaller girl let out a laugh, looking at her best friend who had a sly grin on her face, trying to hide it with the glass in her hands. 
“Speaking of guys though, how’s Mr. Hemmings then?” Anna jokingly asked the girl, cocking an eyebrow with a smirk on her face, swaying to the music that was loudly playing in the background.
“He’s good, I mean he’s doing good,” The smaller girl quickly corrected herself before her dirty-minded friend could make a joke about their sex life or ask about it. Anna hummed lightly, still smug and still swaying to the music, “I was supposed to be going to the safe house, but I’m here instead, I don’t think he’s very happy.”
“Girl, you’ve been here for nearly two hours!” Anna cried out in shock, eyes wide at the clear defiance that the small girl had for her 6-foot-odd gang leader boyfriend.
“And?”
“He’s bound to know by now! He’s not going to bust through my doors with his gang and shoot the place down is he?”
The girl shrugged lazily in reply, letting some of her hair fall in front of her face as she smiled at her friend, “Yeah he does know, he’s been blowing up my phone for an hour and a half.”
Anna fell dramatically against the back of the couch, hand still tight around her glass of lemonade and pink gin. Her free hand was laying across her forehead with her eyes shut, “Oh please tell me you’ve replied.”
“Nope.”
“Oh come on, I really like my door, believe it or not, I don’t want him or any of his gang members kicking it down!” Anna cried out, giving her best friend a pout to which she just laughed lightly in response.
“He won’t knock your door down, he probably won’t even come. He’s too busy debriefing his gang to even spend time with me and instead shipped me out of the house. Why does he care whether it’s yours or the safe house?”
However, she couldn’t have been more wrong because less than ten minutes later they heard a roaring engine speeding down the road. Anna, who shared a quick look with the smaller girl, got up and looked out the window, seeing no other than Luke gets out of his very expensive sports car and towards the house, “Guess you were wrong.”
He threw the door open, thankfully not breaking it down, his eyes quickly landing on the small girl, grabbing her and pulling her off of the couch, planting her by his side. His grip was tight on either side of her hips, almost as if it was a warning to stay by his side and cooperate for once in her life.
“Anna,” His accented voice wrung through the room as he gave the blonde a curt nod. She waved back awkwardly, maybe too hazed by the alcohol in her system to stay anything intelligible back, and Luke seemed to realize this, “don’t stay up too late, get a good sleep, okay?”
“Aye captain, yes sir,” She saluted him back with a smile on her lips, almost diffusing the tension in the room but it was barely a second later where Luke’s grip retightened on his girlfriend’s hips.
“Okay, good night.” He bid her farewell, walking out of the house with his slightly anxious girlfriend behind him. It seemed as if suddenly she was filled with regret and guilt, especially after seeing how angry Luke was with her.
“It isn’t Jacob’s fault I-” She started when the door shut behind them, the cold wind of the night surrounding her.
“Don’t,” He spoke gruffly, turning around to look down at her with angry blue eyes before grabbing onto her wrist and dragging her over to his car.
Luke hadn’t even locked his car when he had rushed inside to Anna’s house, not that he would be too bothered anyway, it wasn’t like anyone was going to steal the gang leader’s car, especially not in this neighborhood. He didn’t speak another word to the girl as he took her around to her side of the car, letting her get in before he leaned over and strapped her in, closing the door without a single word and getting in his own side.
He started the car up and the only noise heard in the car was the engine as it roared to life and they began to speed down the street. His blond hair was messy, jaw ticking with his eyes glued to the road, never once straying to the girl in the passenger’s seat. Her eyes, however, never strayed from him, picking up every sign that he was furious with her. His posture was rigid, he was impatient, breathing loudly and not even acknowledging her existence beside her; he was seething.
She wasn’t sure if they arrived too fast or too slow to the safe house honestly. Luke still didn’t utter a word, getting out of the car and slamming the door behind him. She knew not to move already, she knew that Luke didn’t want her to move and honestly she didn’t want to aggravate him further.
True to her belief, Luke opened her car door, undoing her seatbelt before pulling her out of the car. His eyes didn’t stay on her as he stormed into the house, a tight grip on the smaller girl’s wrist. She tried to get his attention, for him to say anything to her as he entered the house but it appeared he wasn’t in the mood to talk.
The main room was still dark, but just the feeling of being in here makes her feel sick. She wasn’t overexaggerating when she said how much she hated the safe house. It felt as if she was defeated, back where she didn’t want to be, somewhere she hated, and with her boyfriend furious at her.
In the time that she had been thinking of how much she loathed the building she stood in, Luke had let go of her wrist and wordlessly made his way towards the front door again. The thought of him leaving her here, frustrated and alone all weekend made annoyance bubble in her stomach and before she can help herself she’s shouting over at him, “So that’s it? Are you just going to lock me in here and leave again?”
Luke stilled, but he doesn’t bother to reply or even look at his girlfriend, just standing there like a statue. She can’t find it in herself to regret the words that come out of her mouth, especially after she awaits the nonexistent reply, causing annoyance to bluster in her stomach. Her eyes roll and her arms flail slightly before they slap against her thighs with a low scoff falling out of her lips, “Typical.”
“Excuse me?” Luke turned around, his voice hard and powerful, one that would normally make her shake, make her look up at him with wide eyes unsure of what to say. Their eyes meet, his blue piercing into hers. He took a step forward, tilting his head slightly with an eyebrow raised, almost as if he’s encouraging her to repeat what she had said moments before, “What did you say, Bambi?”
Her mouth was agape as she stuttered lightly, any feeling of bravery that she had mere seconds ago fizzling away into nothingness. Her eyes darted from one of his eyes to the other, looking at the expectant and slightly smug face as he looked at the stuttering girl in front of him. She tried her best to find the right words to say but she had, ultimately, been rendered speechless.
“Come on, if you’re so big and brave, baby, why don’t you speak up a little? Tell me what you said.” He walked towards her until he’s right in front of her, chests barely ten centimeters apart. Two of his fingers make their way under her chin, pushing her face up until she had no other choice but to look him in the eye, holding her face in such a way that she can’t move easily.
Silence filled the room once more, simply with the two of them staring at one another. Luke stared down at her with a slight smugness and with her looking up at him still frozen almost. When he does talk next, he muttered quietly, almost condescendingly with anger trailing in his voice, “You ruined an important meeting tonight all because you couldn’t follow a simple instruction-”
“Well, believe it or not, I don’t like to be locked up in a house for days on end like a caged animal,” She doesn’t even register that she’s speaking until she’s finished, the words flowing out of her mouth cutting off Luke’s lecture.
“This house is to keep you safe,” His grip on her jaw doesn’t loosen at this point in time, blue eyes swimming with rage. In all of their time together, he doesn’t remember his Bambi giving him this much attitude or a time where she’s tried to argue with him like this. Sure, there were times where they had disagreements or times where there had been a little bit of attitude but he had quickly sorted that out.
“I was safe at Anna’s and I was happy. Isn’t that what you want? For me to be happy?” Her voice is quiet, bottom lip threatening to quiver. She hated how she cried whenever she got frustrated, and right now she’s barely holding back from her eyes becoming glassy. She’s frustrated and annoyed, but she doesn’t want to look like a baby right now, especially when this was her first fight with Luke.
“Don’t try and guilt trip me now, Bambi. It isn’t going to work tonight.”
“I hate it here! I hate constantly having to move into this stupid fucking house where I have nothing to do and no one to talk to! It doesn’t even fucking have wifi or anything! It’s dumb and all because you’re paranoid!” After she finished shouting, she ripped her head out of his hold, standing back and away from him, back coming in contact with the marble counter of the kitchen island.
Her arms are crossed over her chest, and as Luke processed her words, he shook his head. His next words are low, like it’s a warning, “Don’t shout at me like that.”
“I’m not-”
“Listen here, doll, because I’m only going to tell you this once,” Luke doesn’t even let her finish before he’s talking. His voice is forceful and strong, something he normally reserved for when his men do something stupid like ruin a drug run, “You don’t call the shots here, I do. I’m in a gang and there are a lot of people that would put a bullet in your pretty little skull just to get to me,” He pressed a finger against her temple, hard enough for her to feel the pressure but not enough for it to hurt her, “People die in this lifestyle and I send you here so it doesn’t happen to you. Don’t tell me that I’m paranoid because I’m trying to keep you safe.”
“I get it, I do-”
“Then why won’t you just do what I say?”
“Because I’m tired of being your secret.” She whispered, looking up at Luke’s blue eyes sadly, tears gathering in her own eyes. His head dipped a little, shifting his weight onto his hands which are on either side of her, trapping her against the kitchen’s island counter.
It took Luke a few seconds to finally muster up words, and just from his tone she can tell that he’s disappointed, maybe in himself, maybe because of how she thought of their relationship, “You aren’t my-”
“Then why have I never met Cal? O-Or Mikey? Why is the only time I’ve ever met Ashton an accident? And why do you constantly send me away even if it’s only people you trust going to be there? And-”
“Bambi,” Luke groaned lightly but got cut off straight away when the girl continued to rant, barely even realizing that he had tried to cut her off.
“This was supposed to be our weekend and you just sent me away. I was so excited to finally get a whole weekend of you to myself but no, I was shipped off to this shithole again-”
“This was all because you just wanted me to yourself?” Luke asked incredulously, an eyebrow raised at the girl whose eyes snapped up to meet his.
“That’s what you want, Bambi? You got it.” Luke said, his eyes staying on hers, never wavering as he commanded. He pushed back, hands off the counter and now standing at his full height, towering over her with his eyes never leaving hers, “Hands out. Now.”
“Luke what-”
Her eyes frantically search his face, eyebrows knitting together in confusion. She can feel her heart rate pick up, beating loudly in her chest.
“No, Bambi. You’ve done plenty talking tonight. No talking unless I ask you a question, got it?”
She nodded her head, gulping down the thickness in her throat as a thick leather wrapped around her wrists, constricting them. Her mouth parted slightly, she hadn’t even seen or heard Luke take off his belt, but now she can’t even part her hands anymore.
His head dropped to her neck and she can feel her stomach flutter simply by his breath fanning over the skin on her neck. His hand made its way up to the nape of her neck, grabbing a handful of hair and yanking on it so her neck is fully exposed to him, “You’ve me all to yourself tonight, Bambi. And you’re all mine.”

We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off
Tumblr media
Pairing: Sammy Blais x Reader
Word Count: 6.9k
Warnings: Lots of smut. Again. Some unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it) and light choking. I think that’s all! 
A/N: This is the sequel to Get You, however I think it could be read as a stand alone. I hope you enjoy! This is probably the quickest fic I’ve ever written. Please let me know what you think!!! xoxo Btw, this is inspired by the song of the same name by Ella Eyre! 
Previous Part // Masterlist
“Okay, I printed your boarding ticket. It’s with your passport on the kitchen counter. Do not forget them tomorrow.”
You were standing at the end of your bed with your back to the door, shoving away the last of the clothes you needed for your trip to St. Louis. Your stomach turned, bottom lip quivering at the worry you felt all over.
“YN?” your roommate called when you didn’t respond. She approached you slowly, hand coming to rest against your back as she stepped up beside you. “Are you okay?”
“No, I’m not okay,” you admitted. Truthfully, it felt good to say it out loud. You pushed your bag away and sat on the bed with a sigh. “This is, what, the third time in the past two months we’ve planned a weekend to spend together? Still, no label. It’s like he wants to act like a boyfriend, but he doesn’t want to lock it down. I don’t know what to think.”
“Okay,” she said slowly as she sat beside you. “Well, it’s gotta be a good sign that he wants to spend weekends with you. That’s three whole days together. With his busy schedule that has to mean something.”
“Yeah, but what is he doing the rest of the time?”
Hooking up with Sammy after his return from St. Louis proved to be a great decision. You spent the summer together whether it was between the sheets or hanging out around your friends and every moment was sweeter than the one before. But Summer didn’t last forever and he needed to leave for training camp, so he had to say goodbye. Except he didn’t. Instead, he handed you a ticket to visit him on the weekend of the Blues home opener.
You spent nearly the entire weekend in bed together, save for the moments he spent on the ice with you watching him. By the time you landed back home that Sunday night, you could hardly walk. 
During your second visit it was much of the same, but that time he actually made a reservation at a five-star restaurant. Sitting across from him in such an intimate setting was the catalyst to the anxiety about where the two of you stood. 
Was he in this just for the sex? Or was this something more?
You hoped it was something more.
---
Sammy didn’t really find a special interest anyone, so when he came back from the off season with a little more pep in his step, Vince just knew. 
“Who’s the girl?”
“How’d you know there’s a girl?”
“You got this swagger to you, Blais,” Vince answered with a grin. “You walked in here with a pimp walk.”
“Her name’s YN,” Sammy told him, cheeks burning red at the thought of the nights you spent together. “She’s a friend from home.”
“Something tells me she’s a little bit more than a friend.”
“I mean, we’re just hooking up,” Sammy said dismissively. Vince nodded, not even the slightest bit aware of any underlying feelings there might’ve been. When you came to visit, he couldn’t ignore the glaring feelings Sammy had for you. It was evident in the way he frantically cleaned the apartment the day before and how he made sure to stock up on snacks you liked, even though you’d only be there for a few days and he was planning on taking you out to eat for most of your meals. 
After meeting you, Vince understood why Sammy was so into you and he also knew that there was no way this was just a hookup. 
While you were packing your bags at home, Sammy was working on the apartment. He was dusting and vacuuming and putting all of his bedding through the wash in preparation for your arrival. Vince watched in amusement from the couch, offering no support whatsoever.
“You’re so into her.”
Sammy ignored him as he folded up one of the blankets on their couch and threw it over the back.
“This weekend’s the big weekend, right?” he asked, hoping that his best friend would finally come to his senses and wife you up. The look on Sammy’s face indicated that maybe it wasn’t the big weekend and Vince’s jaw dropped. “You got her tickets to sit with the girls tomorrow. Doesn’t that basically mean she’s your girlfriend?”
“I mean, I haven’t asked.”
“You should.”
“I know,” he grumbled. He was in the middle of fluffing the decorative pillows Vince’s mom sent them. Vince grabbed one and fluffed it for him, realizing that Sammy was in a state of distress. “I wanna ask. I just don’t know when to do it.”
“Ask when you pick her up.”
“That’s not romantic at all.”
“Then ask her when you get back here,” Vince suggested. “Get her a bouquet of flowers or something and just ask.”
---
“Welcome back to the Lou!” Sammy exclaimed as you walked towards him outside baggage claim. Despite the anxiety pit at the bottom of your stomach, you grinned when you saw him. He was dressed in his usual uniform--joggers and a Blues t-shirt--and as you folded into his arms, you felt like you were home. “How was the flight?”
“It was great,” you answered. You began to pull away, but he kept you close to his chest. “First class was a little unnecessary.”
“Not for you,” he murmured. And then he leaned down to kiss you, but you tilted your head just slightly only allowing his kiss to fall against your cheek.
There was nothing but panic coursing through his veins as he released you from his arms. He stepped away and pulled the door open for you after taking your duffel bag off your hands. While he rounded the truck, he tried to piece together any indication that you might’ve been mad at him leading up to this weekend, but he was coming up empty.
He put on a brave face as he slid into the driver’s seat, smiling softly when he asked what you wanted to listen to on the way back to his apartment. You took the aux, shuffled your liked songs, and watched the city of St. Louis whizz by from his passenger side window. 
Sammy kept glancing over at you, frustration and confusion clear on his face. You could feel his eyes every time he did so, like they were burning holes in your skin. Finally, you returned his gaze and offered him a smile before reaching out to lace your fingers with his and place them in your lap.
“Welcome back, YN,” Vince greeted as soon as you stepped through the apartment doors. He was on the couch, video game controller in his hand. He hardly even spared you a look, having gotten used to your presence in their apartment throughout the first two months of the season.
“Thanks, Dunner.”
“I’m going to go put your bag away and then run to the bathroom,” Sammy spoke softly. He ran a hand over your hair, cupping the back of your head as he looked down at you. “Meet me in my room?”
You nodded and accepted the kiss that he decided to place against your forehead. Guilt washed over you as you realized he was avoiding your lips, admittedly for a really good reason. 
“How was your flight?” Vince asked after Sammy was gone. His question was followed up with a string of curses as he died in the game on the television. He turned after exiting to the main screen and smiled up at you. “I heard Mr. Blais pulled out all the stops this time around.”
“I told him that I didn’t need first class.”
“I told him you’d say that,” Vince said. “He said that he didn’t care.” You laughed nervously, which was noted by the boy on the couch, and he gnawed at his lip while debating his next words. “He’s been talking about this weekend since the last time you were here.”
“Yeah?”
“Non-stop,” he answered, a playful eye roll to go along with it. You couldn’t help but smile as you allowed yourself to daydream about that thought. “Anyway, you go get your man. I’ll be in here, so don’t be too loud or anything.”
“Like you don’t wanna hear it,” you teased, turning to head off to Sammy’s room.
“You know what?” Vince called after you. “Be as loud as you want.”
Your laughter echoed through the apartment and Sammy, who was in the bathroom washing his hands, grinned at the sound of it. 
Sammy’s room, once again, was immaculate. His bed was made, there was no laundry in his laundry basket, and he even had a bouquet of flowers sitting on his nightstand. You ran your fingers along the petals, cheeks heating up at the thought of him going out of his way to get them.
Why hadn’t you kissed him at the airport? The little voice inside your head was going to ruin everything before you had the chance to make it really good. You felt guilty, and so you needed to make it up to him. You pulled your shirt over your head and then slipped off your leggings, leaving you in just the lace set you’d thrown on for the trip. 
---
Sammy spent the last few weeks thinking about kissing you, touching you, and then you greeted him like he was a stranger. His whole plan had been tossed out of the window after you dodged that kiss. The meaning of the flowers waiting for you on his bedside table completely diminished. He couldn’t ask you out. He wasn’t even sure you wanted it now.
When he entered his bedroom, he was actively trying to put it all behind him and he succeeded because when he pushed the door open, he found you laying against his pillows half-naked.
“Fuck.”
You laughed as he ran his hands over his face to compose himself. 
“Fuuuuck.”
“I missed you,” you spoke softly, spreading your legs for him. He threw his head back before kicking the door closed and approaching the bed, a dark look in his eyes. He crawled up the mattress towards you, hands coming to push your legs apart even farther.
He placed a kiss against the fabric covering your mound. You gasped and he smiled, happy to hear that sound again. He continued a path of kisses up your stomach through the valley of your breasts to your lips.
“I need you,” you spoke in that breathless and airy voice he loved so much. “Sammy, please fuck me.”
He wasn’t sure that he had enough time for this, but he was dying to be inside of you so he threw caution to the wind. He hooked his fingers in your panties and tugged them down. He tossed them towards the corner of the room haphazardly and reached towards his sweats to pull them down and do the same. His boxers were quick to follow. 
“Condom?” he asked. You nodded, but he was already reaching towards the bedside table.
You stared at his hand as he popped his length and then rolled the condom on. Finally, he slotted himself between your thighs and brushed the head of his cock along your folds.
“Fuck, YN,” he moaned as he entered you. He did so slowly, savoring every bit of the way you tightened around him and your hands grasped his shoulders. It never got old listening to the way you whimpered as he filled you up and then pulled out to do it again. He hooked one of your legs over his hip and fucked you nice and slow.
“You like that, baby?” he asked, eyes trained on your lips and the way they parted with each movement. You nodded. “You’re so good for me.”
And you’re so good for me, you thought, though you didn’t dare voice it.
He grabbed your wrists in one hand and pinned them above your head as he fucked you, each thrust hitting the right spot because Sammy had studied your body for months and knew exactly what he was doing.
Your moans were soft and quiet, polite even considering Vince was just beyond the bedroom door. You arched your back and pressed your chest against Sammy’s, the feeling of his sweatshirt soft against your skin. If he continued rolling his hips into you like he was, you’d cum in no time. Missing him always meant a quicker orgasm when you were back together.
Suddenly, his phone started ringing. A groan ripped through his chest as it heaved from the work he was putting in. He dropped your wrists as he glanced over to the screen, still moving inside of you in case the call didn’t need to be answered and he could continue. Much to his dismay, Thommer’s name flashed across the screen.
He met your eyes a little uneasily.
“I need to answer.”
“Okay,” you squeaked.
He reached over to the phone and answered, pressing it to his ear while still seated inside you. 
“What’s up?” he greeted his teammate. His head dropped to your shoulder as he nodded along with whatever was being said on the other end of the phone. “Already?”
You wanted to shove him off, push him away and slip into the bathroom for a shower and a good cry. 
“Yeah, okay,” he spoke, eyes searching your face for a sign as to how you were feeling. Your eyes wouldn’t meet his and he knew he was fucked. “I’ll tell Vince. See you in fifteen.”
When he ended the call, he dropped the phone beside you and cursed in French as he pulled out of you.
“YN, I’m so sorry. Thommer’s on the way,” he groaned. “I have to get ready to leave.” 
Your mouth opened and then snapped shut as he placed one last kiss against your lips before standing. As he shuffled about the room, you pulled his comforter up to your chin and rolled to your side, eyes shutting to prevent yourself from crying.
“Are you mad at me?”
“No, it’s fine,” you answered without opening your eyes. He frowned as he stared down at you. “I’ll see you after the game.”
He could see right through you. He knew you were mad, but instead of getting into it, he said, “I’m leaving you one of my t-shirts and I talked to O’Reilly earlier about having his wife pick you up so you have someone to go with. Oh, and those flowers are for you.”
“Thanks.”
You heard him crouch down beside the bed.
“Hey,” he whispered. Your eyes fluttered open and met his gaze. “I’ll make it up to you.”
“I’m not upset, Sammy.”
“You’re not a good liar,” he said, lip quirking up in a lopsided smile. You stuck your tongue out at him as he stood, sauntering off to grab some of his things for the rink. He dropped them by the door before returning to your side of the bed and leaning over you. “I’ll see you later.”
“Good luck tonight.”
“I don’t need luck,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to your lips. “You’ll be there.”
---
“There’s still no label?”
“Nope.”
“But you want it, don’t you?”
“More than anything.”
Your cheeks flushed as soon as the words hit the air between you and the WAGs. A few of them squealed in excitement, some nodded as if they understood the predicament you were in. This was your third time around them and they were very invested in the situationship between you and Sammy. They loved him, and they loved you now that they’d gotten to know you, so they were just waiting for the question to be popped.
“Well, you’re coming out with us tonight, right?”
“I didn’t even know there was something going on after the game.”
“Sammy’s getting selfish on us, huh?” one of them asked. “Wants you all to himself.”
“We’re going downtown,” another said. “It’s just a small thing.”
“You need to come. Make him sweat a little bit.”
They had you convinced, though it wasn’t hard to do, and you waited for Sammy eagerly outside the locker room to convince him too. 
“Ready to go home?” he asked as soon as he caught up to you. His arm slid over your shoulders, pulling you into him so he could peck your lips. Your eyes caught the girls just over his shoulder as you returned his kiss, their eyebrows raised expectantly. When you looked back up at him, you felt pretty confident in yourself.
“I want to go out with your team and the girls.”
“Really?��� he asked, sounding a bit annoyed. You nodded and his shoulders dropped as a frustrated sigh slipped past his lips. You pouted up at him, twirling the hair at the nape of his neck between your fingers as you waited for him to give in to you. “Alright, alright, fine.”
You hopped up excitedly and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before grabbing his hand and tugging him to the car.
--- Sammy didn’t want to be out with his team. He wanted to be alone with you, at home with his hands exploring every inch of your body. Instead, he was watching you mingle with his teammates and their girlfriends and wives while he waited for you to return from the bar. 
He watched you, groaning internally each time someone new stopped you to catch up. It was all well and good that the team liked you this much, but he wanted his time with you. When you finally arrived back at the table, you had a drink for him and one for yourself as well. He grabbed you by the hips once you were within reach and pulled you down into his lap.
“You look like you’re having fun.”
“And you don’t,” you teased. 
“I’ve been hard since I left you this afternoon,” he griped. You rolled your eyes, but your lips betrayed you as they curled up at the corners. “I’ve been thinking about fucking you all night.”
“Patience is a virtue.”
“And I’ve been patient,” he spoke, kissing the sensitive spot on your neck. “I’ve been patient for three weeks, waiting for you to come back to me.”
“A few more hours won’t kill you.”
“It might,” he grunted. You laughed softly, rolling your eyes at him as you dropped a kiss to his lips. He smiled into it and watched you carefully as you pulled away and gazed at the room around you.
“Vince isn’t coming home tonight,” he whispered against the shell of your ear. You tilted your head to the side as he trailed his lips along your skin to your shoulder. “I can’t wait to make you scream my name.”
You swallowed thickly as his hand trailed up to your throat, fingers tilting your face towards his. You leaned in and captured his lips with yours, ignoring the whistles from the guys that were returning to the table with drinks.
---
While Sammy locked up the apartment after getting home, you ventured to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. You gazed out at the city of St. Louis through the window above his sink and thought about the anxiety you felt from the uncertainty between the two of you. You were so distracted that you didn’t hear him enter the room until his hands were sliding around your waist.
He attached his lips to the juncture of your neck and shoulder as his arms snaked around your waist from behind. You sighed into him, breath catching in your throat as his fingers trailed over your clothed core.
“I’ve thought about fucking you against every surface in this apartment,” he admitted with a chuckle.
“And?”
“And what?”
“Which one do you think about the most?”
“This one,” he spoke, pressing your hips against the kitchen counter. His breath fanned over the skin of your neck as he spoke, lighting your body up with goosebumps. “Whenever I eat in here, I think about you in one of my t-shirts, nothing underneath. I think about bending you over, pushing the shirt up over your hips, and fucking you until you can’t stand.”
As much as you were hoping this weekend would sing a different tune than the two before, you still figured you should take advantage of what this relationship really was. You never felt as good as you did when he was filling you up, so why deprive yourself of the feeling?
Sammy’s hand felt heavy along your back as he pressed you against the countertop, and you fed into it by wiggling your ass in front of him, inviting him to do what he’d been daydreaming about. 
He spoke your name in a low, warning tone of voice. Why did you have to be so irresistible? He wanted to take you against the counter so fucking bad, but he couldn’t stop thinking about what this weekend really was supposed to be about.
“Don’t you want to make your daydreams a reality?” you asked, glancing at him over your shoulder. His cock was hard against your ass and his hands wandered up and under the shirt you were wearing, searching for any way to touch your skin. You shed yourself of the jean jacket you’d thrown on and Sammy got a good look at his last name on your back.
“Your bra goes, but my shirt stays on.”
He watched as you unclasped your bra and slipped it off from underneath your shirt, dropping it to the floor beside your feet. His hands were on you immediately, trailing up to your breasts and cupping them as he brought your back to his chest. He played with your nipples while sucking a mark into your neck.
One hand trailed down to your jeans, fingers popping the button undone before unzipping them. They danced along the lace at the top of your panties and then slipped beneath the band and down to your slit. Two fingers sunk into your heat as he tugged your earlobe between his teeth.
His cock strained against the pants he was wearing, pressing into your ass as he pumped his fingers inside of you. Your breathing was already heavy and you couldn’t stop your hips from rutting against his palm as he fingered you. 
He pulled his fingers out and grabbed your jeans by the belt loops, tugging them down to your ankles. You shoved your panties down as well, desperate for him to fill you up. You stepped out of them and kicked them to the side. Sammy sank down to his knees, hands on the back of your thighs to spread your cunt open for him. 
“Always so wet for me,” he murmured. He blew some air onto your pussy and you shivered. He sucked a kiss onto your clit and dragged a whimper out of you as your head fell into your hands. He lapped up your wetness and inserted his two fingers back into your pussy. 
“Fuck, Sammy. So good.”
“Talk to me,” he spoke, tufts of air hitting your needy cunt as he spoke. “Tell me how good this feels. Tell me how good I make you feel.”
“No one makes me feel this good except you,” you cried out as the pace of his fingers quickened. That was what he needed to hear to attach his lips to your pussy again. “Sammy, please.”
“Please what?” he asked, licking another stripe up your slit. “What do you want?”
“I want your cock,” you moaned. “I need it.”
He pulled his fingers out and stood. With one arm, he pulled your back to his chest. He lifted his fingers to your lips and you took them into your mouth willingly, tasting yourself and moaning around them as you sucked. You bobbed your head on them, taking them deeper, and as he watched, his other hand fell to his pants to shove them down. 
They fell to his knees, too needy to even undress completely. The thought of it turned you on. He freed his cock and you felt it hot and heavy against your ass. You heard the crinkling of a condom wrapper, as always, and your mind quickly went elsewhere. You yearned to feel him raw, but not if he had other partners. God, you hoped he didn’t have other partners.
He took his time entering you. Your mouth fell open and his fingers slipped out of it, to curl around your throat. He sank into you, milking the sweet sounds that always came when he bottomed out inside of you.
“You take me so well,” he praised, squeezing your throat just enough. You repeated his name a few times as he pulled out again and slammed back into you. “So good for me, right, baby? You’re so good at taking my cock.”
His hand dropped from your throat to push your chest against the counter. The other gripped your ass, bouncing in front of him as he pumped in and out of you, moans filling the room. He praised you as he filled you up, but the compliments weren’t hitting like they used to, your mind was too full of thoughts that betrayed your feelings.
It wasn’t long before he was reaching his orgasm. He’d been dreaming about taking you against that counter for so long that it was hard to hold out. His hand twisted in your hair and his hips sputtered, and he pulled you back to his chest to suck marks into your neck. You weren’t close by any means, but you moaned loudly as he cursed into your neck to give the illusion that you were reaching your peak with him.
He came into the condom and collapsed against your back for a moment, then pulled out. As he placed kisses along your shoulders and the nape of your neck, his post-sex clarity came to him. Those moans weren’t the moans he was used to. Your body didn’t shake like he was used to. He turned you around and the moment he saw your face, his suspicions were confirmed. You didn’t cum.
You pressed up on your toes and kissed him quickly before ducking beneath his arms. 
“I’m going to shower.”
Sammy watched you disappear from the kitchen and stood there stunned for a few moments. He was racking his brain, trying to figure out what went wrong and where. It felt like with every second that slipped by, you were drifting farther and farther away from him.
Once he heard the shower kick on, he gathered the clothes from the kitchen floor and returned to his bedroom to throw them all in the hamper. He stripped down, thinking about you all the while and wondering how he could save this weekend from falling apart completely. It really bothered him that you weren’t enjoying yourself. Not even the sex could do it for you.
He walked over to the bathroom door and stood outside, hesitating even though he wanted to get into your head. Finally, he opened it and stepped inside. You noticed his frame through the steamed up glass and felt a sadness creep over you. He opened the shower doors and stepped into the stream of water from the shower head. You had your back to him, so he curled his arms around your waist and pulled you into him. Your body relaxed into his touch, finally.
“You think I don’t know your body?” he asked, voice gruff in your ear. His hand slid over your stomach and settled just below your belly button as he pulled your back flush against his chest. “I know you faked that orgasm.” He felt your muscles stiffen. “What’s going on in your head? You haven’t been yourself this entire trip. Talk to me.”
“Sammy, I can’t do this anymore,” you blurted out, thankful that he couldn’t see your face. This time, he was the one who tensed up. “The sex is great, but it feels like there’s something more even if there isn’t. I don’t know what’s going on in your head and I don’t know if there are other girls when I’m not around, and I’m not even sure I’m allowed to be upset if there are.”
He spun you around and brought you chest-to-chest. One of his hands trailed along your spine to the small of your back and the other cradled your cheek in his palm. 
“YN, if you hadn’t dodged my kiss at the airport, you would’ve been my girlfriend already,” he spoke. Your brows pulled together. “I bought flowers and everything, but after you didn’t kiss me I didn’t know what to do. It seemed like you just wanted to have sex, so I just thought you didn’t want anything more.”
“Sammy, I--”
“And there are no other girls,” he spoke. “Are there other guys?”
“No, not in forever.”
“So, why are we being stupid?” he asked, hand curling into the back of your hair. He pulled you closer, lips just inches away. “I want you, you want me. Let’s be together.”
“I’d really like that.”
Beneath the warmth of the water, Sammy kissed you long and hard. His arms curled around you, pulling you so tightly to his body that it was uncertain where one of you began and the other ended. 
“I owe you an orgasm,” he whispered against your lips. “Actually, I owe you two.”
“You should add interest.”
“Oh?” he asked, an amused grin forming on his lips. You laughed at his raised eyebrows and squealed when he pushed you up against the shower wall, the head of his cock brushing against your folds and igniting a fire in the pit of your stomach. “I can do that.”
---
You woke up to the feeling of Sammy’s lips against your collarbone and his wandering hands sliding across your stomach. He pulled you tightly to him as you stirred, continuing the shower of kisses up your neck to your cheeks, and finally your lips once you puckered them in invitation.
“I’m taking you on a date today.”
“Are you?”
“Yeah,” he answered simply. “I’ve wanted to take you on a date all weekend, but somehow I just kept ending up between your legs.”
You smacked him playfully, but he just giggled. 
“What’s the plan?”
“Get out of bed and you’ll find out.”
You spent your morning at a local coffee shop, eating breakfast and having the first real conversation in a while. It felt like everything was back to how it was before all the anxiety of labels. He told bad jokes and you laughed at every single one, you caught him up on the gossip at home and he talked about St. Louis and the things him and Vince had gotten up to since the last time you visited. 
After breakfast, you walked the streets of the city. His hand found yours easily and while the both of you blushed, neither acknowledged it. He gave you a tour of the city, something he hadn’t done the first two visits and desperately wanted to do, and you spent a few hours shopping around for clothing and other unnecessary purchases before heading back to his apartment to eat lunch, hang for a while, then get ready for dinner. 
He made reservations that morning for a restaurant all his teammates recommended. It was a highly frequented spot for the couples on the team, so he wanted to christen it with you. He got ready first while you showered and dressed himself in a pair of slacks and a form-fitting button up shirt. Then, he occupied himself with whatever game was on TV and waited for you to emerge from the bedroom.
“Is this too much?” you asked, stepping into the living room in a form fitting black dress that fell to about mid-thigh. He stood, eyes wide and drinking in your body.
“You look beautiful,” he murmured as he stepped forward. He placed his hand delicately against your hip. “This is perfect. Definitely not too much at all, but I don’t know how I’m gonna stop touching you while we’re at dinner. You’re a smoke.”
Thankfully, Sammy behaved at dinner, though it was hard to touch you much from across the table. He held your hand on top of it though. His thumb brushed along the skin on the back of your hand gently and as you talked, he hung on your every word. He ordered a bottle of wine for the table and by the end of the meal, you were a little drunk off him and the alcohol.
The night felt magical, just sitting there and talking with him instead of ripping each other’s clothes off. You couldn’t believe he was your and you were his, and you couldn’t wait for whatever came next. 
Vince told Sammy he’d make himself scarce once again to give you two the privacy you deserved. The moment you walked in the door, Sammy was ushering you to his bedroom.
“Can I please get you out of this dress?” he asked, finger dipping below the strap on your shoulder. You nodded and he pushed the straps off both shoulders, kissing along the skin that was beneath it. “It’s hot, but I’ve been thinking about what’s underneath all night.”
Your dress pooled at your feet and you stepped out of it before making quick work of the buttons on his shirt. You pushed the fabric off and onto the ground and then pushed off his pants.
His lips captured yours again and he pulled you against him, finally skin-to-skin with one arm around your waist and his other hand entangled in your hair. Kissing him felt different, like you weren’t rushing from this to ripping each other’s close off. He could’ve kissed you all night if that’s what you wanted, but it was clear that you both wanted more.
“Let’s take our time tonight,” he spoke against your lips. You nodded in agreement before kissing him again. You kissed all the way to bed, until the back of your knees were hitting the mattress and he was lowering you onto your back. 
“No condom,” you added. He pulled away, eyes searching your face for more confirmation. “I want to feel you. And I’m on birth control and we’re only having sex with each other, so…”
“Are you sure?”
“If you feel comfortable with it too, then yes, I’m sure.”
Sammy kissed you again, but this time his smile was getting in the way and soon you were both giggling against each other’s lips. 
“You’re my dream girl,” he spoke, fingers hooking into your panties and pulling them down. “I’m so crazy about you. I can’t believe you're all mine.”
“All yours.”
He pushed his briefs down and threw them off the bed to join your panties and bra. His fingers found your core and he dipped them in your wet, moaning against your skin as he said, “Are you always this wet, baby?”
“Only when you’re around me.”
“Good answer,” he teased. You giggled and then sucked in a breath as he slipped his fingers into you. He watched your eyes flutter shut, chest rising and falling more rapidly as he stretched you out. “You look so pretty when I finger you. You should see it for yourself, maybe we’ll have to do this in front of a mirror sometime.” You moaned, the thought too hot to handle. “You like the sound of that?”
“Mhmm.”
“Good thing we have all night then, huh?” he asked. You nodded obediently. He pulled his fingers out and lifted them to your lips. “Have a taste.”
You wrapped your lips around his fingers and sucked, hollowing out your cheeks knowing that it would drive him crazy. Your innocent eyes drove him wild, you knew that, so you gave him the best ones you could muster. 
When he pulled his fingers from your mouth, he gripped your hips with his hands and kissed you hard, tongues exploring each other’s mouths as the head of his cock caught against your opening. You moaned into his mouth.
“I know you want it,” he murmured. “Soon.”
He peppered kisses along your jaw down your neck to the valley of your breasts. Then, he attached his lips to your nipple. One hand kneaded the other while his tongue circled your nipple, sucking and nipping at it until you were shaking beneath. He moved onto the other and did the same, earning moans as he tweaked the senstive nub. 
“Sammy, please,” you moaned. “I need you now.”
He kissed back up to your lips with a smile.
“Since you asked so nicely,” he murmured, wrapping his hand around his length and pumping. He leaned into you and pressed the head against your opening. You gasped as he entered you slowly and shuddered at what it felt like to do this without a condom. His forehead dropped to your shoulder as he moaned your name. 
“This, you, feel so good,” he whispered against your neck. “So fucking good.”
“Fuck, fuck, Sammy,” you choked out. “Please give me more.”
He pushed in more, but still hadn’t filled you completely. As your pussy fluttered around him, he moaned loudly, “I’m not gonna last long, mon amour.”
“Deeper,” you requested. He pushed all the way in, bottoming out as you yelled out a few curses. He placed one hand on your lower stomach and pressed. The pressure ignited something inside you and you wrapped your legs around his waist to try to take him deeper.
He began to thrust in languid movements. You rolled your hips with his as he fucked you deeper, hitting spots you never even knew existed. His head fell to the crook of your neck as he hit that spot again and again. “I love the way you fuck me.”
“I love the way you do everything,” he admitted through baited breaths. You giggled softly and then gasped as he snapped his hips to yours rougher than before. “I love the sounds you make.” He picked up his head and gazed down at you as he pulled out. “Let me hear you.”
You sighed as he entered you again, slower this time, and with a breathless voice, you moaned his name. Your fingers curled into his hair, twirling the strands around your fingers as he set a consistent pace. He dropped a hand to your clit and circled with his thumb.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“Keep talking.”
“God, you’re so good,” you moaned, nails gripping his shoulders as the pace of his thrusts quickened. He snapped his hips to yours and watched as you threw your head back against the pillow with a loud shout. “Fuck! Sammy, harder!”
“Are you close?”
You nodded, biting down on your lip as he slammed into you again. He fucked you hard and deep, the headboard of his bed slamming against the wall as he did so. He reached up to steady himself, pulling his thumb off your clit to hold your hip down to the bed.
“Sammy, Sammy, Sammy,” you repeated his name like a pray. He called yours right back at you. “I’m gonna cum!”
“Cum all over my cock, baby,” he murmured, staring down at your face as you unraveled. You moaned loudly, arching your back as the orgasm washed over you. He was chasing his own orgasm frantically. You were loud, overstimulated as he fucked you through your orgasm. Your legs shook from the aftershocks. “Where do you want my cum?”
“Inside me,” you answered breathlessly. He cursed, hips stuttering as he filled you once more. His cock twitched and he spoke your name, praises falling from his lips as he filled your pussy. He collapsed on top of you, arms curling to pull you against him as he softened inside of you. 
“Fuck, YN,” he muttered after catching his breath. He pulled out slowly and you whimpered as the cold air of his bedroom hit your pussy. You began to close your legs, but he spread them and gathered the cum seeping out of you with his finger to push it back into your heat. “So good for me.”
He stood and walked off to the bathroom for a towel. When he came back, he spread your legs again and wiped your core softly, though you still shuddered under his touch. You got up to go to the bathroom and when you came back he was making grabby hands for you to join him in bed. 
“That was great.”
“Really great.”
“The best sex we’ve ever had,” he noted. You laughed and he nudged your chin up to get you to look at him and smiled down at you. He kissed you softly. “I’m really happy we’re together.”
“Me too,” you responded.
“And I’m sorry for not making it clear how I felt about you before,” he said. “I’ll never make that mistake again, okay? You’ll always know how crazy I am about you. I’m gonna tell you everyday.”
“I had fun with you today,” you said, finger tracing patterns against his chest. He smiled softly, cheeks pinkening.
“I really don’t want you to leave tomorrow.”
“Me neither,” you sighed. He kissed your nose. “But we have tonight, so let’s enjoy it.”
Sammy rolled over and pinned your hands above your head, length already hard and resting against your inner thighs.
“You don’t have to tell me twice.”

7:30pm | december 5th
you were outside of peter’s apartment building and waited for him to come down. he didn’t give you his apartment number so you were just outside in the cold, you didn’t mind — it was december after all. you felt a tap on your shoulder when you turned around your eyes met with peter’s.
❝so what do you have planned for us tonight christmas boy?❞ you asked, holding out your hand for him to grab.
❝we’re gonna walk there, i promise it’s not far.❞ peter replied, taking your hand which was much smaller than his. you smiled and let peter lead the way. the walk was quiet but comfortable. the night was bright with lights scattered around the streets and sidewalks. when peter stopped you knew you arrived and your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. ❝i thought we weren’t going to the christmas fair peter!❞
❝were aren’t gonna be here long. i’m just going to grab something and then i’m actually going to take you where i promised.❞ peter said, pulling you into one of the lines for hot chocolate.
❝couldn’t have we got hot cocoa somewhere else christmas boy?❞ you quipped.
peter sighed, ❝as much as i love my swiss miss this is the best hot chocolate there is.❞
you playfully rolled your eyes, ❝fine… but can i get a funnel cake.❞
❝you beat me to it i was planning on getting one.❞ peter shyly responded, looking at you in adoration.
you were in awe, ❝you never fail to impress.❞ then randomly kissed his cheek without realizing your sudden affection. it was small but it was enough to make peter blush his face was more red if that was even possible. his cold red cheeks were exchanged with a warm blushed face.
he paid for the hot chocolate and funnel cake, not even letting you interject to pay for a part of it. you decided to share one not necessarily for romantic purposes. the funnel cake was just too big to be able to finish each one on your own. you were a little sad that you didn’t get to hold peter’s hand on your way to your second destination because of the items the both of you were holding but you knew the walk wasn’t long so you just shook it off.
8:00pm | december 5th
you and peter were in an elevator inside what seemed to be an apartment complex like his but a bit nicer. once you got to the roof you were in awe. it was almost like a small garden and there was a blanket nicely set on the grass with a few other things next to it, you could see the whole carnival and the beautiful bright lights most importantly the whole city. peter did this for you. it was simple, beautiful, and cute — it was perfect.
❝i know it’s simple-❞ before peter could finish his sentence you had something to say, ❝peter oh my god! this is amazing!❞ you gasped excitedly sitting down on the blanket while opening the box the funnel cake was in.
when you turned around peter was still standing, ❝peter what are you doing up come sit!❞ peter walked toward you and you held out a fork for him to take. you scooted closer to peter so you could share your funnel cake and take sips of your own hot chocolates. it was the best hot chocolate you have ever tasted but you wouldn’t admit that to him — not yet at least. once the two of you finished eating you tossed the box to the side and laid on your back. peter turned around and you looked at him motioning for him to do the same.
the two of you laid down looking at the stars glimmering above the both of you. ❝hey peter, how did you find this place?❞ you asked, turning your head around to face him.
peter did the same before responding. he took a second to think because he couldn’t say he found it when he was patrolling, he wasn’t ready to tell you yet. ❝i- uhm… my friend showed this to me awhile back?❞
❝oo wait you haven’t told me about your friends. what are they like?❞ you wanted to know more about peter, sure he was a bit dorky but he had a great personality so he had to have a few friends.
❝well my two closest friends are ned and mj but i’m closer to ned. i’m in academic decathlon with both of them which is pretty cool. what about you?❞ he asked at the end of his sentence. your eyes widened. ❝me?❞
❝yes you dummy.❞ peter replied laughing.
❝you’re my friend duh.❞ you said smiling.
peter’s eyebrows furrowed, ❝no but i mean like at school and stuff.❞
you sighed and rolled your eyes, ❝i’m not really a people person. i mean sure i talk to people but i’m not super close with anyone. guess i’m not really a person people look for in a friend.❞
that made peter’s heartbreak. how could someone not want to be friends with you? ❝well you’re the type of friend i’m looking for.❞ he said wholeheartedly, giving you a soft smile.
you sighed in relief, ❝really? you’re serious hot chocolate boy?❞
peter nodded without hesitation. ❝i mean i wouldn’t have gone on this date if i wasn’t.❞
❝wait this is a date?!❞ you sarcastically responded.
❝w-wait it isn’t?❞ he stuttered looking at you with wide eyes.
you laughed, ❝relax i was joking. this is a date you dork.❞ you turned your head and pointed at one of the stars. ❝peter look! that should be our star. what should we name it?❞
❝that’s venus y/n.❞ peter quickly said without hesitation. god why was peter so smart?
❝you can see planets with the naked eye?❞ you gasped utterly confused. peter nodded his head.
❝also, way to ruin the moment peter.❞ you said rolling your eyes jokingly.
❝sorry but it’s true! hey look we can name that star.❞ he pointed at the star not too far from venus.
❝fine❞ you whined trying to figure out a name for you and peter’s star but you were stumped. you sighed. ❝any ideas?❞
❝no! this was your idea!❞ peter pointed out. you slapped his chest, ❝this is a team effort! plus you’re the smart one.❞ you grumbled.
❝okay okay uh let’s name it… shitty cocoa. i have honestly have no ideas y/n.❞
you gasped, ❝i love it! please stop being a genius, you make me look dumber every second you speak.❞
❝what?! you told me to name it❞ peter argued.
you stood up and waited for peter to do the same. ❝get up i’m bored.❞
❝what do you want to do then?❞ peter questioned.
❝we’re going on the ferris wheel, i changed my mind we’re going to the fair but only for that ride.❞ you grabbed a blanket and headed toward the elevator.
❝what’s with the blanket?❞ peter asked, giggling a bit.
❝i’m getting cold, don't question me peter. also this blanket is amazing. where did you get it?❞
❝i don’t know❞ peter replied, shrugging his shoulders.
you groaned, ❝dang it. i was totally about to buy one.❞
9:45pm | december 5th
the two of you walked hand in hand with peter’s blanket draped around your shoulders. you paid for the tickets and waited in line for the ferris wheel smiling excitedly.
peter looked at your giddy expression with his blanket cuddled around you and just smiled and quietly laughed to himself. ❝we’re next peter!❞
when the two of you were in the seat you scoot in to cuddle against peter, he looked a little cold but wouldn’t admit it.
❝peter come closer we can share the blanket. i don't bite y’know❞ you giggled.
❝no it’s okay i’m not cold❞ he lied, shivering a bit. you knew if you were going to continue dating peter (hopefully) that he would most likely be the stubborn type.
you rolled your eyes and tossed a part of the blanket to his side to drape around his shoulder as well. you suddenly felt the ride move and was startled a bit. ❝sorry❞ you said, laughing at yourself a bit. peter giggled and the two of you just watched the city below you.
❝look it’s our star!❞ peter said, pointing at your shared star.
❝it looks so pretty from up here.❞ you responded in awe. the way so looked at the star was the way peter looked at you. not that much longer you were off the ride and walked to the back of the ride where there wasn’t a crowd.
10:27pm | december 5th
you both turned around at the same time and smiled at one another. ❝my mom said she would pick me up at 10:30 at the front of the fair… so i guess this is goodbye…❞ you whispered letting go of the blanket draped on your shoulders. ❝i had a really good time peter, thanks for tonight.❞ you said looking down at your shoes. neither of you wanted the night to end but it had to at some point.
❝uh- w-well i’m glad.❞ he was relieved you said that you had a good time.
❝mission accomplished hot chocolate boy.❞ you kissed his rosy cheeks and ran off before peter could say anymore.
peter definitely had something to talk about monday to ned and mj. ❝mission accomplished peter.❞ he whispered the words to himself proudly.

Notes From Prince Charming
I absolutely loved the last episode. But I refuse to believe that Kwamis don't fall in love. I refuse to believe that Plikki isn't a thing. Their 16 in the story BTW.
≈≈≈≈≈
Dear puurincess,
Thank you for the movie night and food I had a furbulous time.
P. S Hope you have a pursitively pawsome day princess.
- Your knight in shining leather.
Marinette rolled her eyes at the note but couldn't help the soft smile that made its way onto her lips, reaching for her blanket she pulled back the cover and slipped out of bed. A cold chill ran through her body when her feet made contact with the ground, walking over to her desk Marinette opened a circular box and shook her head as she looked at all the other notes nestled inside, all the same as the one in her hand. Well, not the same exactly, they all said different things, but they all had the same purpose so they were the same none the less. Folding the note she placed it in with the others before getting ready for school.
*******
"Bye Maman, bye Papa," Marinette called as she raced out of the bakery, grabbing a croissant and a chocolate chip cookie on her way.
She was late.
Again.
How? She had no idea. OK maybe she had slept in a bit too long, but she had stayed up late watching the movie with Chat Noir so of course, she was going to be tired.
Once she got to the school she heaved out a sigh, she had 3 minutes until class started. Deciding that she didn't need to run anymore Marinette made her way up the steps of the high school, carefully slipping the chocolate chip cookie into her purse. She giggled softly when she heard Tikki's excited squeal.
Entering the classroom she looked over to Alya who had her eyebrows raised and a smirk resting on her lips, Marinette gave her a lazy smile before slipping into the seat beside her.
"So what was it this time?" Alya asked as she looked over at her best friend, who had her head resting in her arms like a makeshift pillow. "Let me guess, you had to feed your cat, but it ran away from you so you had to chase it. Or how about you fell asleep while eating breakfast or maybe prince charming came in through your skylight and whisked you away into the night, where you had a spectacular dinner on top of the Eiffel tower."
Marinette laughed at the last one, it definitely wasn't as far fetched as Alya thought. Lifting her head she sat back in her seat and looked at Alya who was still smirking at her.
"For your information, my prince charming would never climb through my skylight. Adrien is way classier than that. And as for your question I was up late watching a movie with a friend."
Alya narrowed her eyes and smirked. She watched as Adrien and Nino entered the room and waited for them to be within earshot before she continued.
"A friend huh? And who might this mysterious friend be?" She asked nudging Marinette.
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about it Alya you wouldn't know him anyway." Marinette's eyes went wide at her mistake.
Adrien and Nino had both turned to listen to their conversation now.
Alya's eyes went wide. "Oooh so it's a he is it? So what exactly were you and this boy doing in your room at such a late hour?"
Marinette had started to go red, and so had Adrien though Alya had no idea why. The poor boy was blushing up a storm.
"I told you we were watching a movie, nothing more nothing less."
"Mmmmh, that doesn't sound very believable," Nino smirked. "What movie was it?"
"We were watching Tangled." Marinette shrugged.
"And why were you watching Tangled?" Alya frowned.
"Because he'd never seen it before."
"Girl that sounds even less believable, everyone has seen Tangled it's one of the greats. Are you sure nothing happened Marinette?" Alya wiggled her eyebrows and smirked as Marinette went even redder.
Alya laughed. "Girl chill out I'm messing with you, unless..."
Marinette groaned and rested her head back in her hands.
Alya and Nino both laughed, shaking his head slightly Nino turned to Marinette.
"Relax M we're just teasing, even if Mr Prince Charming is climbing through your skylight and whisking you away to a magical dinner and then bringing you back to watch a romantic movie with strictly no funny business," Nino gave her a quick wink. "Who are we to judge."
Marinette let out another groan and looked at Nino and Alya with narrowed eyes. "God you to really are made for each other."
Nino smirked and reached for Alya's hand, giving it a quick kiss he turned back to Marinette. "What can I say I'm just naturally charming, it was only a matter of time before she confessed her undying love for me."
Alya laughed and pulled her hand back, leaning forward slightly she smirked. "Right, and what was it that you said to me after I confessed my undying love for you?" She brought her hand up to her chin and pretended to think as Nino's eyes went wide and he started to stammer. Alya clicked her fingers. "Ah that's right after I confessed my undying love for you, you thanked me."
Everyone burst into a fit of laughter as Nino's face went redder than a tomato, this was definitely going to be an eventful day.
*******
"Urgh, why does Mr Coopers have to give us so much homework?" Nino groaned as he finished packing his bag.
"I know it's not like we have a life we're trying to live." Alya laughed bitterly as she hooked her bag around her neck.
"School just sucks," Marinette concluded with a shrug.
Once Adrien had finished packing his bag they all walked to the front of the school, they talked for a few minutes until Adrien's bodyguard showed up. Marinette was even able to get out more than one sentence, with the occasional stuttering of course.
"Bye guys, see you tomorrow," Adrien called.
"Bye dude."
"Bye Adrien."
"Tomorrow bye- ugh no sorry- Uh see you tomoz- Ugh," Marinette facepalmed with a groan. "Bye just bye."
The others laughed at her attempt as she watched Adrien's car drive away, she felt her purse moving slightly, no doubt Tikki was laughing too.
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Whatever I'll get there one day."
"Of course you will dudette, we believe in you."
"Yeah girl, it's only a matter of time before he realizes he likes you and confesses his undying love." She gave Nino a smirk.
"Just don't give up M." Turning to Alya Nino kissed her goodbye.
"I love you," He mumbled against her lips.
Alya leaned forward and kissed him, pulling away she smiled. "I love you too, see you tomorrow turtle boy."
He gave her an adorable smile before giving her one last kiss goodbye.
"Damn you two really are made for each other, that was so cute."
Alya turned to Marinette and smiled, her smile grew wider and before they knew it they were both in a fit of laughter.
Catching her breath Marinette gave Alya a wave. "I'll see you tomorrow Al."
Alya frowned. "Tomorrow? Girl, I'm coming round to your house, and the girls too. For the study, session remember."
Marinette's eyes went wide, she definitely did not remember that.
"Uh yeah- the sturdy- uh study session of course I remember." She rubbed her neck nervously.
Wait wasn't Chat supposed to be coming tonight?
Marinette's face paled, this wasn't good. She had no way of contacting him, so he wouldn't know not to come.
"Hey! Earth to Marinette!" Alya waved her hand in front of Marinette's face. "You ready?"
"A-are yeah, sure. Let's go!"
"The girls are going to meet us there," Alya informed as they made their way to the bakery.
"OK." Marinette breathed. Maybe it wasn't going to be that bad.
******
It was bad.
It was so bad.
The rest of the girls had arrived 30 minutes later, and they had been studying all afternoon, which was fine. The bad part was that it was getting close to 7:30 which was normally when Chat decided to show up.
"Ugh! My brain hurts." Alix grumbled, pushing back her chair she flopped down onto Marinette's chaise.
"Mine too. It feels like mush." Mylène agreed.
"Yeah, I think it's time for a break." Marinette pushed her chair back and stood up. "Do you guys want some food?"
"Oooh yes please!"
"Could you bring some of those pineapple macaroons?"
"Ohh and some of those chocolate croissants?"
Marinette laughed. "Sure I'll bring back a whole feast."
"Thank you!"
"Hey, Marinette? Have you done any new designs lately?" Mylène asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"I just want to have a look. Where do you keep your sketchbook?"
"It's in the box at the end of the table," Marinette yelled as she made her way downstairs.
Looking around Marinette's desk Mylène spotted a circular box resting at the end of her table.
"That must be it." She said to the girls.
Picking it up Mylène pulled off the lid, only to be met with a box of notes.
"What is it?" Alix asked lifting her head to get a closer look.
"There notes." Mylène frowned.
"What do they say." Alix jumped up to get a closer look.
"They kind of look like love notes."
"What!?"
Everyone quickly jumped up to look at the notes. Reading the notes everyone's eyes widened. They really were love notes!
"-OK so I just grabbed some of everythin- EPP! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!" Marinette quickly dropped the food onto the table and raced over to the girls.
"Why didn't you tell us you were getting love notes?" Alix asked grabbing out another note to read.
"They're not love notes!" Marinette argued snatching the notes out of their hands and stuffing them back into the box.
Alya scoffed. "Have you even read them, they are 100% love notes."
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Funnily enough I have read them."
"Who are they from?" Rose asked, trying to get a better look in the box.
Marinette quickly stuffed the lid back on top. "No one."
"That's not believable," Juleka mumbled.
Alya suddenly gasped. "Is it from your mysterious Prince Charming?"
Marinette started to blush though she had no idea why.
"Oh, it is!" Alya squealed.
"Woah Woah back up, who's this Prince Charming?" Alix frowned.
"Oh that's right you guys don't know," Alya smirked. "Marinette had a boy in her room last night at quite a late hour."
"Ohhhhhhh!" Smirks grew on all their faces.
"Urgh!" Marinette groaned. "Nothing happened, all we did was watch Tangled."
"Right you watched Tangled." Alix gave her a sly wink. "I understand," she smirked.
"No, you don't! Because nothing happened. All we did was sit together, watch a movie and eat food that's it!"
"OK ok girl calm down."
"Did you guys cuddle?" Rose questioned.
Marinette choked on her words. Did she cuddle with him? It wasn't really classed as cuddling was it? There were no romantic feelings so was it still cuddling?
"N-no. Well, I do t-think it's classed as cuddling."
"Well, how were you sitting?" Mylène questioned.
"Um, he was leaning against the wall and I was laying in between his legs with my back on his chest."
The girl's jaws dropped to the floor.
"No way!"
"Like I said it's not even classed as cuddling," Marinette argued.
"It 100% is so classed as cuddling." Alix counted.
"Where were his hands?" Rose questioned.
"Around my waist, and resting on my stomach."
"And where were your hands?"
"Ah, they were sort of, fiddling with his," Marinette mumbled.
"Awwwww that's so cute!" Rose squealed knitting her hands together.
"But we weren't cuddling!"
"Does he know that?" Mylène raised her eyebrows.
"Yes!" Marinette answered quickly.
Deciding to change the topic Marinette turned back to the food.
"Anyway, I brought up a bit of everything." She gestured the plate. "And then once we're done with the break we can go back to our homework." She gestured to the forgotten books on her desk.
"Oh no no, you don't get to change the subject so quickly, I still have tons of questions," Alya smirked.
"Seriously!" Marinette groaned.
"Come on M, we deserve that much. You kept this a secret for who knows how long." Mylène shrugged innocently.
"That's a good point, how long have you been meeting up with Prince Charming?" Alya questioned, folding her arms over her chest.
"Do you really have to call him that?"
"Well, are you going to give us his name?" Alix raised her eyebrows.
"No," Marinette grumbled.
"Then yes we do have to call him that. OK so how long has Prince Charming been coming over for?"
"I don't know."
"Then think girl."
Marinette brought her finger to her chin. "Um, I think the first time he came over was in May."
"May!!" They all gasped.
"Dude that was two months ago." Alix laughed.
"OK, so this clearly isn't just a recent thing." Alya's eyes were wide, she opened her mouth to ask another question but Rose cut her off.
"What do you guys do when he comes over."
"Uh Sometimes we play video games, when my parents are out of the house we go into the kitchen and cook, sometimes we watch a movie, sometimes I'm busy with my designs so he just sits there and watches but sometimes he helps me with the measurements, sometimes we just sit there and talk for hours-" Juleka cut her off.
"What do you guys talk about?"
"Everything. The future, the past, our fears, accomplishments, things that make us happy, things that we enjoy, but sometimes he just comes round to c-" Marinette quickly stopped herself.
"Sometimes he just comes round to what Marinette?"  Mylène narrowed her eyes.
"Nothing!"
"Come on Marinette no more secrets just spill." Alya urged.
Marinette sighed. "Sometimes he's really tired and overworked so he comes round and we just cuddle until he falls asleep."
"Awwwww that's so romantic." Rose squealed.
"But it's not really cuddling cause there's no romance or anything."
"OK so what do you want us to say, you guys sleep together?" Alix smirked.
Marinette's face went bright red. "You know what cuddling is fine, we'll just say cuddling."
The girls laughed.
"OK I've got another three," Alya glanced back at the box full of notes. "Why does he call you Princess, why did he start writing the note in the first place, and why have you kept the notes if there no romantic feelings between you?"
Marinette froze. She didn't know how to answer any of them. Well, she did. But then she didn't. Urgh, this is a nightmare!
"I don't know why he calls my Princess, it's just something he called me at the start and it stuck, and the notes well, one night we had both fallen asleep while 'cuddling'," She did quotation marks, glaring at Alix. "And he woke up before me so he wrote me a note to thank me and I guess it's kind of routine, he does them a lot more now that he knows I keep them, and as for why I keep them... I don't really know why, they just make me happy I guess. "
The girls all had smiles on their faces.
Deciding to break the silence Marinette turned back to the food. Grabbing one of the chocolate croissants she looked over at the girls.
"OK well since you've all asked your questions how about we get back to-"
Tap Tap
Oh, you've got to be kidding me!
"What was that." Mylène frowned.
"Probably just the wind." Marinette offered loudly hoping that Chat would get the hint.
"Princess?"
"I didn't know the wind could speak," Alya smirked.
"Princess," Chat called again, slipping through the skylight he landed cross-legged on her bed. "I was feline lonely so I thought I'd drop in and-"  Then he saw them. "Oh uh- hi girls." He scratched the back of his neck nervously.
Marinette facepalmed.
For the superhero of luck, she really didn't have a lot of it on her side today.
The girl's jaws dropped.
"OH MY GOD!"
"No way!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Prince Charming?"
Everyone was in shock, well except for Marinette she wasn't even surprised by her luck. Looking at the croissant in her hands Marinette shrugged.
"Anyone want a croissant?"
"Oh! Yes me please!" Chats eyes went wide with excitement.
"Catch!"
Marinette threw the croissant across the room and Chat caught it perfectly.
"Thank you mademoiselle." Chat smirked,  taking a bite Chats eyes went doey and he hummed in satisfaction. "Mmmh, did you make these ones?"
"Yeah, how can you tell?"
"Cause they're amazing, just like you." He flashed her a wink and took another bite.
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Stop trying to butter me up, you're not getting anymore."
Chat placed his hand over his heart and gasped. "You wound me, Princess, I would never try to butter you up. I am the purrfect gentleman."
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Oh of course you are how could I forget."
"Don't worry Puurincess, you can make it up to me with, oh I don't know, maybe some cookies and warm milk, and I puuromise I'll never ask again." He smiled innocently.
Marinette shook her head, but couldn't fight the smile tugging at her lips. "Kitty we both know even that wouldn't stop you from coming over."
He smiled. "Well you know what they say, if you feed a stray it will keep coming back for more."
She smirked. "I wouldn't say your a stray more like," She tapped her lips in thought. "A mangy alley cat."
"You know you love me." Chat scrunched up his nose teasingly.
Marinette's eyebrows furrowed. "Do I know that?"
The girl's eyes were all wide with shock. What the hell was happening?
Alix leaned towards Alya, careful not to take her eyes of the bizarre scene in front of her.
"Is Marinette flirting?"
"I'm not sure, I've never actually seen Marinette flirt."
"Oh my Princess loves to flirt, she flirts with me all the time, most of the time I can never get her to stop talking."
Marinette narrowed her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. "You are so full of yourself, you know that. At this rate, you might as well marry yourself."
Chat sighed lovingly. "I would if I could Purrincess, but I'm afraid my heart belongs to Ladybug. Bugaboo loves me, even though she's too stubborn to realise it, it's one of the things I love about her, besides her eyes of course."
Marinette scoffed. She wasn't stubborn.
"Well-" Alya cut her off.
"OK can I just, stop you there, um how- no, what the hell is going on?!"
Marinette sighed. "Um girls Chat Noir, Chat Noir girls."
Alya rolled her eyes. "Girl we know who he is but what is he doing here!?"
"Is this Prince Charming?" Mylène asked.
"Prince Charming huh?" Chat smirked and flexed his muscles teasingly. "Is that your nickname for me Princess? If so I approve."
Marinette glared at him. "You shush."
Chat lifted his hands in surrender and pretended to zip his lips shut.
"How did this happen?" Alix questioned.
Marinette sighed. "Do you guys remember when Andréa' got akumatized?" They nodded. "Well that night Chat had stopped by for a talk, and then when Glaciator came after me Chat saved me. After the fight was over he came back to make sure I was safe, and well... Here we are."
"Couldn't have put it better myself." Chat smiled.
"... So you guys have been hanging out ever since then huh? Watching movies, talking, playing videos games, cooking. All that." Alix wondered.
Marinette and Chat both looked at each other and shrugged. "Yeah pretty much." They both said in unison.
"Wow!"
"OK wait so just-," Alya took in a deep breath. "You're telling me, that my best friend, and one of Paris' superheroes, have been hanging out together-"
"Practically dating!" Alix cut in.
Alya nodded. "Practically dating, and I wasn't told?"
"We are not dating," Marinette argued. "And I didn't tell you because, well it wasn't anything important."
The girls gaped.
"Not important! Girl, you've had a superhero coming into your room to hang out for the past two months and you didn't think it was important to share this information."
"I'm sorry."
Alya sighed. "You're lucky you're my best friend, or we would be having a very different conversation. But I forgive you."
Marinette smiled. Looking over at the forgotten textbooks she sighed. "Well, I'm guessing no one wants to continue with their homework so how about we play Ultimate Mega Strike 3?"
"Yes! I'm down."
"Sure."
Chat jumped off the bed and raced over to grab a controller. Turning to Mari he gave her a smirk.
Marinette tilted her head and gave him the same smirk. "Oh kitty, you only wish you were as good as me." Reaching over she flicked his bell before starting the game.
********
As the game numbers started to thin out so did the number of girls. So far Mylène, Alix, Rose, and Juleka had all gone home, the only person left was Alya.
"Marinette style! Boo-Yaa!" Marinette cheered as she won another round.
Chat groaned, dropping his hands and controller into his lap he turned to Marinette with a pout.
"How do you do that!?"
She smirked and leaned closer to him. "Like I said Kitty, I'm just that good." She tapped his nose before turning to Alya. "Wanna go another round?"
Alya yawned shaking her head. "Nah, it's getting pretty late I better head home."
"OK well, I'll walk you out."
She turned to Chat. "You behave."
He smirked. "Princess when have I not behaved myself?"
"There was that time with the yarn."
Chats smirk dropped and he crossed his arms.
"Yeah, yeah I know, it was 'the yarn's fault'."
"You know me so well."
She rolled her eyes with a smile. "Just please don't touch anything."
Chat placed his hand on his heart. "I promise I won't touch anything, cats honour."
Grabbing her stuff Alya made her way downstairs with Marinette following close behind. Once they got to the door Alya turned and hugged Marinette.
"I think Adrien might have a bit of competition."
"Competition? What do you mean."
Alya's eyes drifted up to Marinette's balcony and the certain superhero currently lounging around in her best friends room.
Following Alya's eyes Marinette sighed. "Alya I told you-"
"I know girl, I know. But that doesn't change what I saw." Smirking she gave Marinette a wave. "See you Monday."
Frowning slightly Marinette waved back.
What did Alya see? It's not like she was doing anything unusual. Right?
Walking back up to her room Marinette stopped short of the trap door. She could hear singing? Was Chat singing? Moving a bit closer she was able to make out the words.
"Little kitty on a roof all alone without his lady."
A pained smile crossed her face, she'd heard him sing that before, her mind wandered over to Chat Blanc. His excitement when he saw her, the way he had chased her through what used to be Paris. How long had he been there before she arrived? Days? Months? Years? Shaking her head she made her way up the trap door stairs.
Right before she opened the hatch, something Chat Blanc said crossed her mind.
"It was our love that did this to the world, M'lady."
Our Love.
And he knew who she was. Does the mean she knew who he was? Did she fall for him before or after she knew who was behind the mask? But she would never give up on Adrien. Would she?
"Princess?" Chats voice called out. "I can hear you on the steps so if you're trying to scare me it not going to work!" He said in a sing-song voice.
Marinette smiled despite herself, bring her sleeve up she wiped away any damp spots on her eyes and coughed trying to get rid of the tightening sensation in her throat. Shaking her head she climbed the last few steps and pushed open the hatch.
Chat was sitting cross-legged in her spinning chair, slowly swinging himself round. When he heard the hatch open his eyes went wide and he jumped up.
Marinette couldn't help but think of Chat Blanc, he'd jumped over to her the same way. But his eyes weren't as vibrant as Chats, they didn't have the same mischievous glint in them, they didn't have the energetic spring in them. Chat Blancs eyes were cold and dead and well, lifeless and most importantly they weren't the same gorgeous green that Marinette had fallen in love with.
Wait love. No. She didn't- Did she? Had she fallen for-, No? But even Alya said that-
"Marinette?" Her eyes snapped back to Chat, whose brows were furrowed and whose eyes were burning with worry. He placed his arms on her shoulders. "Are you alright? What's wrong?"
Marinette coughed again trying to get rid of the constricting tightness in her throat. "Nothing." She quickly turned to her desk, releasing herself from Chats grip.
Chat grabbed her wrist and tried to turn her back around, but she didn't budge. When it was clear that wasn't working Chat slowly let go of her wrist and walked forward. Wrapping his arms around her waist he placed his head into the crook of her neck. "Mari? Please tell me what's wrong." He mumbled, his warm breath brushing across her collar bone.
Leaning into Chats warm embrace she let out a shaking breath. She couldn't tell him why she was crying. She couldn't tell him what she'd seen. Not without giving away her identity. And that would make them one step closer to Chat Blanc.
Turning around she wrapped her arms around Chats neck and hugged him like there was no tomorrow. Chat was shocked for a few seconds before he smiled warmly and wrapped his arms around her torso pulling her in closer while he buried his head in the crook of her neck, savouring the sweet smell of cinnamon and vanilla that always seemed to radiate off Marinette's person.
They stood there for who knows how long. An hour a year a minute or even only a few seconds it didn't matter, because they were here, not in the past, not in the future, here in the present, where all they needed was each other. And if they both wished they could stay in each other's embrace until the word ended, well no one would be the wiser.
Marinette immediately felt the warmth leave her body as she pulled out of Chats embrace. Looking down at her feet she waited for the right explanation to pop into her head.
"Princess? Are you alright?"
She nodded, not knowing what else to say.
Chat knew she was lying but he wasn't going to push, she'd tell him when she was ready. But now the most important thing was to get her smiling again.
Placing his finger under her chin he tilted her head up softly. "I thought I was going to get cuddles when I showed up, but now it seems like you're the one who needs all my cuddles."
Marinette laughed softly smiling up at him.
Chat smiled triumphantly. "There it is, there's that smile." He booped her nose.
Turning around Marinette grabbed a chocolate croissant of the tray. Chats eyes widened when she handed it to him.
"I think you deserve it. Besides, I suppose even if you are a mangy alley cat I still have to feed you." She smirked.
"Meouch Princess, you wound me." He smirked, grabbing the croissant he finished it in all but two bites.
Marinette rolled her eyes and walked over to her bed. Climbing up the ladder quickly she sat down.
"Now if I have this right, then the only reason you came to see me today was because you wanted cuddles."
Chat hummed in response. "Because you give out the best cuddles in all of Paris."
Marinette raised her eyebrows. "Well, then I guess I'm going to have to start charging you, can't just give away my cuddles for free now can I?"
Chat gasped. "No! Please Puurincess, you can't do that! I promise I will do anything you want."
Marinette smiled. "I'm going to hold you to that."
"I am nothing if not a man of my word buginette." Chat bowed.
Marinette was slightly shocked by the new nickname but smiled. "Well, I suppose I can give you a 30-day free trial kitty."
Chat smiled and walked over to her bed, climbing the latter her was at the end of her bed within a few seconds. Shaking her head she pulled back the covers and motioned for him to come over. Smiling happily Chat crawled over to Marinette who had her back resting on her wall, climbing in between her legs Chat buried his head in her stomach while wrapping his arms around her waist. Smiling softly at him she pulled the blanket back over the top of them, reaching behind her she grabbed out her book and started reading.
Moving her hand she started running her fingers through his hair, receiving a hum from Chat she smiled. She continued to run her fingers through his hair, occasionally scratching behind the ears on the top of his head. About 15 minutes had passed when Marinette heard a low rumbling coming from Chat. Frowning slightly she leaned in closer, it sounded like purring.
Was Chat purring?
Smiling softly Marinette leaned so her lips were near his human ear and whispered. "Are you purring?"
Chat didn't respond, he only squeezed her tighter and nuzzled his head into her stomach more. Looking at his face she smiled, he looked so peaceful like every worry in the world had vanished without a trace, like he never wanted to leave. She should be waking him up so he could go home, but she couldn't bring herself to it. He told her before that his home situation wasn't the best, and that some of the only times when he could have fun were when he was with her, both ladybug or just Marinette. She brushed his hair back from his face and ran her fingers through his hair softly, careful not to disturb him. He was still purring, the low hum was vibrating through her body, making her more relaxed than she'd been all week.
Looking down at him she smiled again. He looked adorable, with his mouth slightly open and his hair all ruffled up, and his eyes, even though they were closed she could see his eyelids moving slightly, no doubt he was dreaming about something. Probably a ball of yarn. She giggled softly.
Looking at his face she knew now. She used to think it was impossible, impossible that she could fall in love with anyone other than Adrien. And Chat no less, he had always been out of the question, it was too risky. But looking at him she knew it was possible, he'd wormed his way into her heart in the future and he'd ultimately done it again. She knew she loved him. She knew it with every fibre of her being that she did. Even if her head refused to listen to her heart it was obvious, it always had been.
Chat Noir. Her goofy partner, her teammate, someone she could count on when she had no one else, someone she knew would be there for her no matter what, someone who helped her protect Paris every single day, someone that brought out a laugh in her she swore no one else could bring, someone who made her mood brighten without even have to say anything, someone who could make her happy when she thinks it's impossible, someone... Someone that she had fallen head of heels for without even knowing it, someone she cherished with everything she had. Someone that she hoped would never leave her side, and someone she wished could stay by her side forever.
So yeah, she understood how he'd done it.
And she understood why she'd fallen, it was inevitable really. No one could change fate no matter how hard they tried, Marinette should have known better because when you're destined to be with someone, the universe will do everything in its power to make it so.
She was his Princess.
And He was her kitty.
To think this all started with a simple note. A simple love note from her Prince Charming.
And classy or not, she was happy to let him climb through her skylight.

ello!!!!! could i req some kuroo, akaashi and iwaizumi hcs of how they met an extroverted and bubbly girl and how they fell for them?
hii sweetie!! there you have it! ♡ (btw i’m sorry if there is any spelling mistake, i’m not writing in my first language, it’s 5am and I didn’t read this again before posting it ٩◔‿◔۶)
☆ Kuroo
Tumblr media
you attend to Karasuno High School and like voleyball, so one random day you were watching Karasuno vs Nekoma in the stands  
suddenly a ball that travelled at the speed of light hits you in the face, making you red as a strawberry after hearing some giggles 
when you recover your breath and look to see whose fault was, there you have him, a tall and black haired boy looking fine af
at the end of the match, when you were already leaving, you feel someone’s hand on your shoulder 
“Hey, I’m very sorry about that, is there any way that I can make it up to you?”
it was him, and he was even hotter up close 
“Maybe... can I have your number?” 
yeah you did that. 
a smirk slowly appeared on Kuroo’s lips, who nodded and wrote it down for you before leaving, giving you a sassy wink 
your friends, who witnessed everything, couldn’t stop talking about how lucky you were 
from that day on Kuroo and you started talking and hanging out frequently 
Kuroo would probably take you to big arcades in Tokyo
you would act as two little children, being competitive to each other
the loser always had to take a silly challenge invented by the other 
after some time seeing each other and going together to the arcade, Kuro lost, to your delight 
it was already nightime and Kuroo was walking you to the train station so you could return home 
“You still haven’t told me what I have to do” he glanced at you nonchalantly as you walked 
“Sorry? What do you have to do...?” you stopped on your tracks and faced him, confused and not knowing what he was referring to 
“Yeah, I lost today at the arcade” Kuroo shrugged and a grin appeared on your lips as he reminded you of that
“Kiss me, then” you challenged him without even thinking twice your words, Kuroo’s eyes opened wide, but two seconds later he was leaning on you
finally, the moment you both were waiting for since weeks ago came, Kuroo’s lips touching yours, his hand gently tilting your chin up and both of you closing your eyes as he deepened the kiss little by little 
☆ Akaashi 
Tumblr media
thank Bokuto because Akaashi and you met through him
Bokuto and you have been friends for years (don’t ask me how you managed to bear with him for years cause idk) so one day he invited you to this match they were having 
after winning the match, the team decided to celebrate at one of the boys’ house and your friend told you to go with them so you accepted
you didn’t even know him, but it was Akaashi’s house, he seemed like a pretty serious guy 
as time went by, most of the boys were playing videogames but you were pretty bored and decided to walk out to the garden 
sitting down on the grass, you noticed steps behind you and looked back to find Akaashi standing there
“are you bored too?” he asked you with half a smile on his lips and looking to the floor
“kinda... I’m sorry that I came to your house without even being your friend” 
“huh? Don’t apologize for that foolishness, at least I have someone to talk to”  
Akaashi gave you a shy smile and it was just in that exact moment you knew you needed to know more about him
the two of you probably spent two hours talking in the garden without getting tired of each other 
you even exchanged your telephone numbers and it wasn’t awkward at all, it came naturally
after that day you two continued talking and seeing each other often
building your relationship wasn’t easy as the boy is quite reserved
but your extroverted personality helped a lot with it
unexpectedly it was Akaashi the one who took the first step and kissed you
it was simple and not really romantic, but the tenderness he transmitted to you was simply adorable
“Y/n?” he said when you were already leaving, causing you to look back at him
“Yes?” you couldn’t almost finish the word when he planted his lips on yours, pecking you and quickly pulling away to show the same shy smile from the first day you met
☆ Iwaizumi
Tumblr media
your crush since day 1? Iwaizumi Hajime 
the issue? he was a 3rd year and you were a 1st 
at least there was a good thing: you played voleyball too in the female team 
so you would see Iwaizumi pretty often at the school gym 
and you’d literally drool everytime you saw him training 
it took long for you to gather enough courage to do it, but you finally did it 
this is how sassy you are on a scale from 1 to 10: 11. 
asking Iwaizumi to teach you how to do a floating serve wasn’t in your plans but what else could you do to get his attention 
to your surprise (because we won’t deny he looks pretty intimidating) Iwa kindly offered to train with you in your free time 
Oikawa started teasing him from the distance when he saw Iwaizumi being that nice to you
all Iwa-chan did was glare at him and it was more than enough 
as he promised, he helped you during the following weeks
your non-existent relationship certainly grow to a pretty close one during those weeks
I’m not gonna say Iwa-chan was the flirtiest man because he wasn’t and we all know that 
but it’s pretty fair to say you were not the only one interested 
eventually you learnt how to do the serve and you thought that was the end to some incredible three weeks 
but: no 
Iwa-chan suggested that you could keep training together at least twice a week, and you happily agreed 
the thing was slow but little by litle you two started to show more affection for the other, even in front of the team sometimes
it was like you two weren’t official nor a couple, but would flirtatiously play with each other’s hands, or he would give you random back hugs in front of everyone
you also cared so much about each other and it could be seen, Iwa-chan walked you home everyday after training
it was pretty obvious that you had feelings for each other, and it officially showed when Iwaizumi kissed you in front of your house door
 when he was about to say goodbye he surprised you with a sweet kiss 
“bye Y/n, I love you”
“see you tomorrow Iwa-chan, I do too”

For the mobster/cop au more interactions between Neil and the rest of the foxes. It could be when they already know he's Andrews husband or when they haven't found out yet Btw, your fics are amazing, thank you!!
okay here’s a real short one but i loved this so here u go:
(tw: descriptions of murdered prostitutes)
*
Dan slowly put her head in her hands, staring at the three photographs in front of her. This had been tormenting her for days already - it was beyond ridiculous at this point. Matt insisted that someone else should take the case, but Dan just couldn’t let that happen. 
Before she’d gone to college, and then the police academy, Dan had worked at a club on the edge of the city. The nightclub was probably one of the seediest Dan had ever investigated (she’d pulled it to shreds when she finally became a detective, mostly out of spite) and sometimes she laid awake at night, wondering how on earth she made it out alive. She’d grabbed a fake ID in high school to work there, having felt like she was out of other options. 
This case hit a little too close to home. 
She was black, her hair matted and bloodied. Her face had become so bloated with death and violence that she was hardly recognisable, but what was even more horrid was the state in which she was found. It was in the middle of a parking lot - she’d been moved there postmortem - splayed on her front with her legs spread, her dress in tatters. Across her lower back were three X’s, two healed, one fresh. She’d been strangled to death. 
There were no prints. No weapon. No fluids. No cameras, no witnesses, even the person who’d called 911 had ducked and run. Dan hated it when bodies were found outside of the scene of death: it made the case that much harder, and removed them from their context. She owed it to this poor girl, who was still wearing one of her clear dancing heels, to find out who had done this to her. 
With another aggravated sigh, she leant back in her chair and pressed the heels of her hands into her eye-sockets. She needed a coffee. She needed to go home and pick Hannah up from school to make sure she was safe and watch Bridget Jones’ Baby together with Chinese takeout and have Matt braid her hair whilst Hannah painted her nails. 
A small scuffle to her left was enough to drag her attention away from the abysmally small file. Across the room, Andrew was leaning back in his chair, a new figure leaning against his desk. Dan watched as Neil handed Andrew a brown paper bag - his lunch - and smile at whatever remark Andrew made. 
“How the hell did he get in here?” Dan inquired, exhausted. Matt looked up from his desk and grinned: he’d come to rather enjoy Neil’s company, in spite of the fact that Neil was definitely a seasoned murderer and letting him go was against everything they’d ever learned about corruption and loyalty. 
Though, Dan thought, watching Matt clap Neil on the back. Their height differences were rather amusing. 
“No personal crap in the bullpen, Andrew,” Kevin groused, glaring at Neil. He still wasn’t over it. He probably would never be over it. 
“Did you just call me personal crap?” Neil echoed. At Kevin’s narrowed eyes, he held up his hands in surrender. “I was just heading out anyway. Just dropping off lunch.”  He shook Matt’s hand goodbye, saluted Wymack good day and chanced a kiss to the crown of Andrew’s head, very narrowly avoiding his husband’s swatting. He shoved his pockets and walked animatedly down the desk aisle. 
His gaze drifted over to Dan’s desk, and his eyebrows furrowed. “Not again.” 
Dan’s instinctive reaction was to cover up the photos. Instead, she swivelled her chair to face him, eyebrow arched. 
Neil came closer, leaning against the desk to look at the photos. He made a scathing noise and shook his head. “I don’t understand why Striker thinks that’ll work.”
“Who?” Dan demanded. 
Neil gave her an odd look. “Striker? I mean, I’m not sure of his real name, but he earned the nickname with the ‘three strikes and you’re out’ policy for his girls. Runs the Catamounts Club.”
“So this has happened before,” Dan managed, fingertips brushing over the photo. 
Neil shrugged. “Usually the bodies are shown off to the girls to scare them, and then obliterated from existence. It’s not like prostitutes are ever put down as missing persons, so he’s never been caught.” Neil leaned over the desk to look at the photographs. “Seems like someone finally wants to do something about it.”
“Catamounts Club,” Dan repeated. “Striker. Repeat offender. You think he’d keep trophies? Some way to track the number of girls he’s murdered?”
“She’s only got one shoe,” Neil affirmed. “He keeps the other hanging up on a string of lights above the booze shelves behind the bar. Though with a body found, he would have taken them down. He won’t throw them out, though. They’re reminders for the girls to behave.”
For a moment, Dan just stared. It took a little while for her to process all Neil was saying - which was a lot. It was a lot. Abruptly, she stood up, snatching the photographs and holding them to her chest. 
“You know,” she said, keeping her voice low. “Letting you walk goes against our oaths as a police force. I should lock you up in max security and never let you see the light of day again.” Her breath shuddered. “But - if you can give us information like that - whenever we ask - I’ll be willing to put it aside.”
Neil gave her a quizzical look. “I’ve been informing your cases for years. How else would I have convinced Andrew to marry me?”
Dan had to grin at her colleague. “How did you manage to wrestle him into a ring?”
Neil snorted. “I said that I could be his CI forever. He wasn’t amused. Anyway - yes, Wilds, I will help you out, to keep my ass out of jail. If that’s what it takes.” He gave her a little wave, leaning off her desk and walking towards the exit. 
Dan glanced to Andrew, who was still glaring at the elevator, long after his husband had left. She shook her head and sat down, switching on her computer monitor. 
She had the Catamounts to bust.

hey psst neil’s a hopeless romantic pass it on

My Cyberpunk 2077 review
I finished the game last night and I have Feelings™ about it, so here goes my review. While the heavy spoilers (ending related) will be hidden under Keep Reading, I might mention some minor ones here and there, so read at your own risk.
Tumblr media
Let’s get the Big Thing out of the way first: yes, the game is buggy af. The good news is most of them are visual bugs, so while annoying, they don’t really matter gameplay wise. But I did have to reload an earlier save file two times to get rid of gamebreaking bugs, both messing with main story quests. It was frustrating. And nevermind the times my car got destroyed because the game suddenly realized there were two cars occupying the same space. However I did manage to finish the game and make the choices I wanted, so it wasn’t that bad either.
My biggest complain is the blantant transphobia shown in the character creator. I know Claire exists and she’s awesome and I love her, but the cc options are just not inclusive enough. What’s the point of having them if you can’t use them anyway? Linking V’s pronouns to voice types makes absolutely no sense. And not being able to remove breasts from the female body type (or put them in the male body type) rubs me the wrong way as well, though I understand that it would involve a lot more animation work. Lastly, having body type-dependant hair styles is just plain inexcusable when the devs took the time to design genitals that are just not shown past the character creator (unless V walks around naked, I suppose). So, why bother having all these ✨choices✨ when the player can’t get a good, accurate customization anyway?
And it gets worse if we talk about romances. Real people have specific tastes and that’s completely understandable, but real life has a lot more than 4 choices in total. More importantly, bisexual people are a thing? There should have been at least one female and one male bisexual romance options in game. So to make it al worse, the constraint in gay romance options is... awful. Why have 3 types of gender-related customization if you can’t use them if you want to romance someone? I’m a cishet female who plays as a cishet female first if given the option, but I’m still bothered for the queer community (which I’m still part of btw, since I’m in the ace spectrum). It feels like being trans is more of a fetish in Night City than a real trait.
Speaking of romances, I played River’s and I found it... bit of a lackluster. I don’t find him physically attractive (shaved head and no beard are not my thing) but his voice was pretty nice and I liked his personality despite being a cop. But the main downside was the way the game treats his romance. I knew I wasn’t going to get a BioWare-style romance, but V’s relationship with River was like a sidenote and once he’s romanced, there’s just no way to interact with him again. That perhaps is the same for the other romances but there’s no replayability, in a sense that there’s no way to talk to/kiss him again or replay the sex scene, for instance. It bothered me that the game forces V to say that “she’s too busy” and apologize to her boyfriend all the time, because *I* would’ve made time to visit if there was ingame acknowledgement of it. The worst bit is that I feel like River’s romance is the least polished of them all, because Panam and Judy play important roles in main quests and Kerry is pivotal to Johnny’s sidequests, while River is... just there (also more further on, regarding the ending). So the fact that he’s like the forgotten child in the romance section while being the only cishet female option is heartbreaking.
The silverlining is that, at least, the mistreated community was het females instead of gay females. Although, this is just another example of game devs thinking about male players first.
Now the good part: what I liked
The cars. I’m not a car enthusiast, I don’t enjoy driving in real life and I’m a terrible driver in games, but I fucking loved the cars in CP2077. The Caliburn was like my game baby, I had so much fun driving around and hearing the different engines for each car, and the differences in driving... it was awesome. I got and bought *all* the available cars for the sake of it, just because I liked them so much.
The story. I love games that get me invested and this one was definitely one of those. Falling for Jackie when I knew he was not gonna be around for long was an expected, but still perfectly excecuted punch to the gut. And Johnny’s guidance and company was something I was hyped about, but still played out even better than I though it would. So to my next point, Keanu Reeves. I was thrilled to play a game with Keanu in it and it blew my mind. Those reviews that pinpoint Keanu’s acting as the weak link in the game are fucking wrong, how else you expect to see (and hear) an angry, resentful man permanently stuck in time? Even worse, when he knows the people he hated the most managed to kill him? I wasn’t happy when I learned Johnny was not a romance option but after meeting him, I’m glad that’s the case. He’s the perfect antihero-turned-best-friend for V, if you can stand him.
Stealth and hacking. Most of the time I choose the option to play stealthy and this time it wasn’t just that, it was the option to use futuristic technology at the same time. I LOVED it. Quickhacking enemies instead of shooting them is so much fun. Enemy detection is a bit wonky at times but still, I enjoyed it much better than if it had been a plain shooter. And those guns with homing shots are so cool that I wanted to play them over sniper rifles, my usual go tos.
The characters. I got invested in V’s relationships, even if the romantic aspect wasn’t as great as it could’ve been. Friendship with Kerry and Panam, clousure for Judy and Rogue, mourning Jackie, being part of River’s family, so many the fixers in existance... and Johnny, my bff Johnny. Even Alt, with her somewhat little role, was great. I was promised a compelling story and deep characters, and I did get both.
The soundtrack. Overall it’s pretty great, but my favorite songs are those related to Samurai. And it’s not even because of my love for Johnny, I really do enjoy them for their musical content. Unironically my all time favorite is Johnny’s as well, Never Fade Away. I won’t exit a car or open the menu when that song is playing.
The easter eggs. From GlaDOS and Silence of the Lambs in the Delamain quests to the Matix-esque pills of the main storyline, to Hideo Kojima and the BB in a lab, “Harvest like a Reaper” and the many “You’re breathtaking!” references (Kerry’s take was my favorite), the game presents A LOT of pop culture nods and I’m here for it. Having real life content creators around for several levels of cameos was a nice touch as well.
So without mentioning the heavy spoilers (aka ending), in my opinion, Cyberpunk 2077 deserves a 9/10. Bugs are fixable and the story and characters carry the game on it’s own because they’re just too good. The main story is kinda short and I believe Johnny’s sidequests should be part of the main story, but I get why they are not mandatory if you want to roleplay a full on dislike towards the rockerboy. But still, there are some things related to gender and romance that are complete misfires. I hope that some of those will be fixed via patches (the character creator bits), but the lack of more romance options or at least bisexual NPCs obviously won’t be fixed and that’s what keeps CP2077 away from a perfect score in my book.
Now, regarding the endings:
The one thing that truly bothered me was that the Rogue one had no real goodbyes for V. She goes into a suicide mission in space and everyone’s post-credit messages complain she just disappeared without a trace? I get she’s dying and all, but, for fuck’s sake leave a message explaining it if you cared so much about them. The game *makes* you care about the characters but doesn’t give you an option to honor that love at the end.
Also, again, romances. I played both Rogue and Panam’s endings so I know there’s no way to have a happy ending with River, which is bittersweet and probably for the best that it happens with him since his romance seems to be the least engaging, but again that makes me feel cheated. Not that they parted ways in the Nomad ending (that was sad, but sad endings are not bad), but that there is no happy-ish ending romance wise for a cishet female. People who romanced Panam obviously stay together with her and those who romanced Judy do too from what I’ve read (and no idea about Kerry’s romance), but not getting that option if you choose to be female and go for a het romance takes away from the game. Sadly. Also my last interaction with River in Rogue’s ending was fucking terrible, I liked how poetic that ending was for Rogue and Johnny until I got to the rest of my V’s life.
(But I still headcanon that River eventually joined V with the Aldecaldos in my canon ending, aka the Nomads’, despite what he said. Since his post-credit message implies he might visit her and stuff.)
As for the rest of the ending... CP2077 clearly states that life isn’t happy and that there’re no happy endings for people who live in NC, so I like that no ending is completely happy since you are bound to die anyway, but. But. It’s somewhat disheartening that the overall arc can be resumed to “all that you did served for nothing, you’re still dying so your efforts were absolutely useless.” I really don’t see how to improve it without defaulting to a happy, sunshine-esque ending that fixes everything, so I don’t know. It still wasn’t exactly what I wanted to hear at the end, so... I liked it but didn’t, at the same time. Ha.
And lastly, I hoped for endgame playability and there is none, you have to revert to an earlier save to keep playing. I get why it wasn’t done, to give a definitive end to V’s story in NC, but anyway. What I really liked about this choice was that no matter the ending, V becomes no one again. They will be forgotten by most people after a while either because they leave with the nomads or because they ‘disappear’, aka die in a blaze of glory in that casino in space. Or well, sell their soul to Arasaka or commit suicide on the rooftop.
So overall, I loved this game and critics are somewhat too harsh. But I agree there are some terrible design choices and a long way of bugfixing to get to the specific masterpiece that we were hoping for.

For my dear mutual, @a-magey
summary: kuroo and The Gang (tm) suprise you for your bday 🥺
warnings: tiny bit of angst maybe? Not really, just feeling sad for a bit. Oh, and shitty writing 😭 it’s my first one
btw the messy drawing at the end was made by me :) happy bday!!!
🎂 (You) 🎂
19. Finally here. The age everyone starts treating you pretty much like an adult. Almost reaching the 20’s, a new beginning.
That was something many kept reminding you
“God, almost 20 huh?” “The last teen years!” “You’re like a whole adult now”
Look- it wasn’t exactly that the fact of turning 19 bothered you or anything, it’s just that the way they say it as if your life is over or something. Plus everyone mentions that basically every year. “You’re turning 16, almost 17!” “You’re turning 82, almost 85!” Yes that’s precisely how aging works.
You weren’t gonna let that ruin your day. You’d have a nice date with your boyfriend, Kuroo, and then you’d go hang out with your group of friends. However, the universe decided against that.
“God baby I’m so sorry, I won’t be able to make it. You know how my boss is, he doesn’t really waver much when it comes to work.”
You sigh, well- internally, you didn’t wanna make Kuroo feel guilty. It’s work after all, right?
“It’s fine, don’t worry about it. We can do it another time”
There was a silence
“I love you”
“Me too, good luck at work”
You weren’t gonna let this ruin your day but god did you feel disappointed. It wasn’t his fault of course but the lonelieness still crept slowly upon your body. Well, what about your friends?
“Super sorry!” “I’m so sorry!!” “Gaahh I won’t be able to make it! Sorry”
Now you actually sigh
Guess It’ll just be a you-day, huh?
🍰 (Kuroo) 🍰
“I want to die”
Kuroo exclaimed dramatically after his excrutiating call. His chest tightened at the sound of your voice slowly quieting down, with a hint of sadness melting on it. He couldn’t bear to wait any longer, he wanted to see you right there and then. See your pretty face lightning up when you discover that no- of course he wouldn’t work on your birthday! It was just a surprise, see? Then you’d hug him and kiss him and-
“Earth to Kuroo-san”
Yaku snapped his fingers in front of his former volleyball captain, with a slightly smug look on his face,
“C’mon we just need to fix some things up and we’re finished, you lovestruck bastard”
Kuroo stood straight, groaning. Yeah, Yaku was right, just some more stuff and he’ll get to see you, but damn the image of a sad you made him want to pull a fuck-it and run to you. He sure was an absolute dork for you.
🎂 (Back to you) 🎂
Walking down the street you felt the light buzz of your phone, excitedly checking it, only to sulk when it was just Lev asking you to get him a book from the library because he needed it for some uni stuff and you usually spent most days there anyway. Putting your phone away and heading toyour beloved library, you looked around you, you’re still there, you made it to 19 and that’s a privilige not many have. Again you repeat to yourself, you won’t let yourself have a bad day.
Looking around the library, taking in that familir scent, warm lights, concentrated looking students, wooden tables. A feeling of home. You notice a woman with the work uniform speed walking up to you, a determined look on her face.
“Hello! This may seem a bit weird but, here”
She hands you a note with a location, the farmers market you love going to with your boyfriend
“Oh?....OH”
You start catching on. Excited, you quickly thank the lady, and rush out of the library, as she whipser-yells “Happy birthday!”
Makes sense you though Kuroo was acting weird! You don’t know if you wanna kill him or kiss him, porbably the latter, yeah, most definitely.
You finally got to the farmers market, and a nice santa-looking guy taps your shoulder, handing you another note with a warm smile. The park, a usual spot for you to hang out with then “Neko gang” as you like to call it. Repeating your previous actions, you thank the man and go to your next, and final stop.
You reach your destination and decide to head to that one spot you guys claim as yours, in the middle of the park’s green field, farther away from other groups. You’d usually play cards, talk and mess around, read and even just nap there. It’s warm and cozy, it’s perfect.
🍰 (Kuroo) 🍰
“Alright guys, get ready”
Kuroo waited for your arrival like a loyal puppy (well- more like a cat 🥴) and seeing the top of your brown hair slowly coming up the little grass filled mountain, made him feel a weird sense of relief. He irrationally worried about whether you’d just gone to your apartment and stayed there sad, alone. He’s ecstatic to be able to do something like this for you, you’ve done everything for him by just being by his side. He wants to return the favor, and he wouldn’t mind doing so if that meant spoiling and being with you forever.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!”
Seeing your face was definitely worth it.
Everyone launged themselves at you, making you all fall down, giggling like idiots. Kenma was able to get everyone to let you breathe (“Kuroo jesus christ you were apart for like 20 minutes, calm down”)
🎂 (You) 🎂
Standing up, you thanked everyone. After that, you spent the whole afternoon talking about your memories with each other, how you’d met, how you’d become friends, inside jokes, trip togethers, etc. You ate delicious strawberry cake done by Yaku and Lev, opened presents (which included paint brushes, cookie cutter and various murder mystery and romantic books). You had the time of your life. Everything was perfect. Just as Kuroo planned, you forgot about any sadness you felt during the date. These are your people and you love them.
After saying your goodbyes, you and Kuroo entered your apartment. Your black haired boy fixed up a nice, warm and bubbly bath for you both, proving that yes, he wanted to spoil you even more. You got in, getting comfortable against Kuroo’s chest. He started trailing sweet kisses on your shoulders, nape and chest. Innocent, even if the position didn’t seem so. You were both still quiet, not uttering a word since you came back from your little suprise. Even without saying anything you both knew well enough,
You loved each other.

Goldie’s Adventures on the Moon - Day 3
Chapter 3: Is it love, when so easily said goodbye? 
Ever since Mom's passed away, I always woke up with tears. She used to wake me up for school in the mornings - something that not everyone would do. My mom was by far the best mom out there! But something was strange on that day, I wasn't thinking about Mom when I woke up. I wasn't thinking about how she used to cook pancakes with me in the mornings. I wasn't thinking about how we'd sometimes go hiking around town. I wasn't even thinking about how she'd read me to sleep when I was a little kid. On that day, I was actually thinking about... uhmm about that cute boy whom I met just two days ago? And I didn't wake up with tears, but with a stange feeling of joy! I actually woke up with a smile after such a long time of grieving! 
Dad, Rhett and I decided to go to the Lunar Zen Garden on that day! Actually, we went there... because my Dad's seen this place with Rhett yesterday while I was spending some time in Hua's clothier and they really wanted me to check that place out. They'd say it's the best place for me to find happiness! They'd tell me to toss a coin in that shrine thingy and wish something! At first, I didn't really approve of what I was supposed to do - but I guess, it really did some magic on me? Because of the things... which came about later on that day... that day was kinda strange, though!
Tumblr media
But I really loved the garden, though! It was so beautifully decorated with those tiny bridges and canals... and those cherry trees! Oh my! I really had a great time raking the zen garden! It felt so relaxing - but forreal! 
Tumblr media
Rhett came to check on me every now and then, but I kept on shooing him away... he just... couldn't see that I was trying to concentrate and find my inner peace? Sheesh! He was playing some mahjong - or what was that game called again? - with Dad and those natives. Sometimes they ask me whether I'd like to join them, but there was this guy I kinda thought looked weird with such a top hat and Asian looking clothing... some people know him as the Unsavory Charlatan - that name already scared me off! But Dad and Rhett were still going for the game... (btw, I couldn't take a picture of him, he'd avoid being on camera for some reason... but he was playing with those other natives on the other table!) 
Tumblr media
Anyway, I was soo into medidating, that I completely forgot what was all around me. For one second, I even forgot where I was... I couldn't hear anything... I couldn't see anything... I couldn't even feel anything, not even the ground! It felt like I was levitating forreal! But... hold on, I felt something observing me from the other side... I felt something smiling at me... I felt... I felt something approaching me... I felt... I felt... I... "Hey, OMG you're Goldie! What a surprise to see you around here! How are things with you?" 
Tumblr media
I... could literally just... GOSHH! Ground, pleasee, PLEASEE swallow me?! That was soo embarrassing... and when I looked around, I saw his friend (with whom he had played chess before... all the time?)! He was smiling at me... mischievously? "Hehe, I've seen you raking, then medidating..." "Ooh, so.. you've literally seen everything?" "Hey... you didn't do that bad... let's just... have this moment together!" *grabs hand OMG and then, YOU GUYS, he GRABBED my hand... OMG, I... I didn't even know what to say at that moment! At first I was afraid... I was petrified! 
Tumblr media
"Goldie, I've been trying to say this to you ever since I've first met you... ever since I've first seen you, ... ever since Day 1, but uhmm..." 
Tumblr media
"I think I have a crush on you, Goldie! Your eyes are so beautiful! I... I'm so into you, I can barely breathe! "Uhmm... Qiu, I..." "I've been waiting and waiting for you to make a move... before I make a move!"
Tumblr media
And then, he really kissed my lips! OMG, that was my first kiss... and I'd never imagine it to be in a romantic zen garden... in outer space! They say you never forget your very first kiss, and now I can see why! Either way, it was lovely! "So, uhmm... now you know, how I feel towards you, Goldie!" "Awww, you're soo romantic! I think I have a crush on you, too! I was shy to tell you this as well... and actually, I didn't even know myself what was going on... because I've never been this shy before, I'm actually an outgoing girl, I never had to struggle to find the words and it's so strange... I couldn't even... " "Lemme hug you one last time, babe!" *Goldie blushes 
Tumblr media
Dad and Rhett must have probably seen me when I had my first kiss... they smiled at me... my Dad even winked at me, but we didn't say any words. It was just this... awkward moment where nobody would talk... and all! I was getting hungry... and just asked my Dad whether we'd go for a dinner soon? Since it was already getting too late... he just nodded and kept on smiling... which was even WEIRDER than it was before!
Tumblr media
Anyway, later on that day, we went to dine in a traditional tea house/restaurant! They didn't have my favorite hamburgers on their menu, but they had other fancy-looking meals... which I haven't heard of before! I couldn't really choose, because literally EVERYTHING seemed foreign to me! But I could remember ordering something... which looked like a salmon on the menu! Not that I tried it before, but it looked somewhat familiar to what I'm used to, so I went for it! The salmon was... good! Though, I wasn't sure, why Rhett decided to eat on a different table! Maybe he did that on purpose, so I could have some "daddy & daughter" time? I don't know... but Dad told me something... out of blue. All of sudden, he was like: "Girl, I'm so glad to see you happy again! I told you, you'd be happy after tossing a coin or two into that shrine..." At that moment, I understood why he kept insisting me on tossing that coin into that shrine thingy when we first arrived at the Lunar Zen Garden... 
Tumblr media
By the time we finished our dinner, the sun still hadn't set yet, and Rhett insisted on visiting the spa & gym... he's heard that they have these hot springs, which he REALLY wanted to try out... I mean, I couldn't blame him! After all, I was curious to see what these moon geysirs were all about! Thankfully, we had a great time spending time together as a family! I just noticed how I missed that in the past, but for the first time after all of these years, I wish that Candy were here as well! Things were about to improve between I and Rhett, too! I was getting along with all of them! Back in my miserable days, I'd always reject Rhett - remember the "silly" attempts of him trying to talk to me through my childhood teddy bear... GOSH, he was trying to cheer me up and I acted like an idiot! "Uhmm, Rhett? I'd like to tell you something..." "What?" "Well, now that I think, I really appreciate all the effort you've done for me! Like... you know, to cheer me up with the teddy bear and all..." "Yeah, I remember... it was probably a bad idea. I thought it'd work since as a kid, it did..." "Well, I'm a teenager now..." "True." "But hey, at least you tried to cheer me up... and to tell the truth, it does cheer me up, now that I think you tried to do something for me! Thanks for that!" "You're welcome, but look behind you! Isn't that your new boyfriend?" 
Tumblr media
I turned my head... and OMG, it was him indeed! It was Q! And when I looked upon him... he winked at me! "So, I bet you guys want some privacy, right?" "Daaad... I'm..." "I know what you mean, Goldie! I've felt this way many times when I had my first fling in the hot tub!" *winks at Qiu and Goldie 
Tumblr media
It kinda felt bizarre when my Dad had to give away way too much info... and it made me feel very AWKWARD at that moment! Like FORREAL! They all were into something... all of these boys! I just couldn't... understand them! Q didn't even seem to be irritated or something... I just hope he does forget about what my Dad just decided to reveal? It was a steamy atmosphere, though... with him! But not just with him, I mean... it was literally steamy, what else would you expect at the hot springs? So... that "steamy" term applies well here! Either way... I really enjoyed this steamy moment with... uhm, him? As always, kinda... Dad and Rhett would tell me that they'd be "out for fun" again... like on the other days. They never really told me where they'd go, but it had always to do with nightlife venues... kinda? Anyway, I couldn't blame them anymore... I mean, I'm a grown-up girl now and I don't need their company all the time! As much as I wanted to be left "alone" with Q, I guess... they wanted to have some time off on their own, too! 
Tumblr media
But... my, oh, my! Those dance moves! LOL! Even I could dance better... I mean, Rhett's got something still, but Dad, he really sucks at dancing! But he thinks he can dance, he can jive! But at least, he's having the time of his life! And I'm happy for him... and Rhett, too! In the past, I'd be mad at him for moving on too fast, but he's right! We can't be stuck in sorrow FOREVER! One day, we just... have to break free and be happy again!
Tumblr media
If I were to choose which day my favourite day was on the moon... I guess, it'd be this one here? I just had my first kiss? OMG, how cool's that?! And did you hear what he said? He just confessed his feelings to me... and I could finally do as well! I WASN'T expecting ANY of this! This is soooo GREAT! OMG! I'm literally melting! Alright, enough is enough... lol! But I could literally be raving about him all day long! I felt SO flattered when he confessed his feelings... Oh, wait, I have to tell this Hua! And Virginia, my best friend back in Widespot, too! Maybe this would even encourage her to confess her feelings to Woddy, too! I mean, she's told me once that she's a crush on that Woody boy? Why did I forget that? HOW could I forget that?! They don't even know what just happened today! Hold on, dear diary, let me text to them real quick...

stupid cupid ✾ kim yugyeom
word count: 3983
genre: weirdest fluff I’ve ever written
pairing: reader x kim yugyeom 
description: yugyeom always tries to help his friends find love– why is he so bad at it when it’s for himself, though?
Tumblr media
“It’s okay, man,” Bambam sighs from his bed in their shared room. “I’ve accepted it… it’s not for me.”
“No, no, no,” Yugyeom whines, getting up to walk towards his sad friend. “It was just one bad date, Bam. It doesn’t mean anything other than that.”
“But it wasn’t just one, was it?” Bambam asks, sitting up to look at a pouty Yugyeom. “It was this one, and the one before that, and the one before that, and–“
“I get it,” Yugyeom interrupts, and lets out a frustrated groan. “Bambam, listen to me.”
“No,” Bambam shakes his head. “You’re gonna start with that true love bullshit again and I don’t wanna he–“
“I said, listen to me.”
At that, even Mark walks in the room, worried about Yugyeom killing his best friend in a sudden rage fit. The thing about Kim Yugyeom, one that most people might not know, is that he is a hopeless romantic. He thinks everyone has potential to love, and that everyone should, in fact, love– especially if that someone is his best friend, Bambam. For months, Yugyeom has been setting Bambam on blind dates, and for months, he’s been failing at it; date after date, Bambam comes home sad and frustrated, but that doesn’t stop Yugyeom, who thinks that maybe his friend just hasn’t met the right girl.
“What is happening here, boys?” Mark asks carefully, watching the maknae with trained eyes. 
“Hyung,” Bambam whispers, not breaking eye contact with Yugyeom, even if that means he has to crane his neck very uncomfortably. “Help.”
“Yugy,” Mark calls with a soft voice, and it’s like magic– the soft giant is back. “Let him go, today was tiring enough for Bambam.”
The youngest sighs, hugging his friend instead. “I just want you to be happy, Bam.”
“Why can’t I be happy alone?” Bambam asks softly, hugging back.
“Because you complain about it every night.”
“Do not!” He exclaims.
“Yeah, you do,” Jaebeom confirms as he just passes by the door. 
“It’s okay, though,” Yugyeom smiles. “I know just the person for you.”
“Yugyeom, no.”
The funny thing is that Bambam tries to be firm about this, but always falters with a single pout. And Yugyeom knows. 
“Don’t worry, Bambam,” Yugyeom says already pulling out his phone. “She’s great!”
“Then why don’t you go out with her?” And suddenly all eyes are on Yugyeom. 
“Me?” He gasps.
“You!” Mark says, intrigued by the idea. Yugyeom is always setting people on blind dates, but never seems to go on any.
“Nah,” He smiles shyly. “I’m good by myself.”
“I’m going to fucking kill you,” Bambam mumbles, rubbing his face tiredly. “I’m honestly going to suffocate you in the middle of the night, and–
“Can I help?” Jinyoung asks, walking in the room with a chuckle. 
“Hyung,” Yugyeom frowns and sits back on his bed. “Don’t egg him on!”
“Well, he has a point,” Jinyoung shrugs and point his finger at the maknae. “You always talk about love, and soulmates, and all that shit– like, honestly, it sounds like a fanfic, seriously; but you never go on actual dates… how can you preach something you don’t want, yourself?”
“Who says I don’t want it?” Yugyeom smiles sadly. “I really do, Jinyoung hyung, but I know better than to just jump into any opportunity I see…”
“Then why push me into every opportunity you see?” Bambam asks, frowning.
“Because you deserve to be happy,” Yugyeom shrugs.
“And you don’t?” 
There is no answer to that question.
————————
“I swear to god,” Your friend, Mina, complains. “I’m never doing this again!”
“You say that every time you go on a date,” You chuckle, raising your eyes from your book, but frowning when you notice she is actually upset. “What happened?”
“Do we still have that emergency wine?”
Oh shit.
“Go put on comfy clothes,” You sigh, forgetting about your book and marching to the kitchen. “I’ll get the wine.”
She comes back just in time to see you placing two mugs on the center table and, taking a place on the couch, she starts crying.
“I am tired of going on dates, Y/N,” She says through her tears, and you frown. “It feels like I’m on an endless search for someone that doesn’t exist…”
“What are you talking about, babes?” You ask softly, passing her the wine, and watching her down it in one go. 
“I’m talking about true love,” She says rolling her eyes. “Soulmates and all of that…”
“Love,” You chuckle. “I don’t think that’s a thing.”
“What do you mean?” She gasps. “Of course it’s a thing!”
“I mean… I do believe in soulmates, but I don’t think we have only one soulmate– I think we have many, though the course of our lives. Think about it, Mina; we change all the time! We change our hair, our clothes, our likings… it’s all so temporary. How do you expect to find only one person? We find many, that match with who we are at that moment, and we are happy for as long as we can with them.”
“What about marriages?” She ponders. “What about people that stay married for years and years until the end?”
“That’s different,” You shake your head, smile faltering a little. “When you’re married, you put all of your faith onto that person; you agree to accept them as they are and as they change, and they do the same. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t; it’s just how it is.”
“Is this why you don’t date?”
And you’d be lying if you said that that question didn’t hurt. You were, as your friends referred to you, a hopeful romantic. You were weirdly conscious about romance, loving the idea of love, but not letting it lead your life. You’ve seen too many heartbreaks to allow it in your life so easily; so you just lived. You lived peacefully single, and when you met someone interesting, you give them a chance. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t, you said before; in your case, it never worked out. And that was okay. 
“I just haven’t found anyone I’m interested on, yet,” You smile a closed lip smile. “And I’m okay with that; I think it is very valuable to enjoy my alone time.”
“You are so weird…” Your friend mumbles, squinting at you.
“Now tell me about the date,” You ask, and she does. Apparently the guy is an asshole; he treated her badly and kept trying to talk himself up. It was comical, really, after you got over the anger. 
“I will kill him,” You say after your second mug of wine. “I will kill him slowly and painfully.”
“Please don’t,” She sighs, and hides her face behind her hands. “I am officially resigning. I can’t choose men; they always turn out to be idiots…”
“Oh babes,” You coo. “Don’t give up, I am sure you’ll find someone nice.”
“Of course I will,” She says, and from behind her hands she emerges with a smirk you never particularly liked– it mean trouble. It always meant trouble. “Or better yet, you will.”
“What?”
“I can’t seem to find the right guys, Y/N,” She says, body leaping forward to sit closer to you. She grabs your hands and stares at you so intently that it terrifies you. “Think about it, I’m too close to the problem, so at this point I think I’m just going on dates with anyone willing. But you– you beautiful piece of heartless ass,– you can find someone nice for me! You can see through their bullshit!”
“Well, when you put it like that…” You mumble. “I might know someone who knows someone.”
“That sounds shady,” She squints. “I’m in.”
————————
All it took was one text. Or actually, many texts with one purpose.
[y/n: hey you]
[y/n: help me out]
[y/n: cupidddddddd]
[k.yugy: I already told you that was a stupid nickname]
You snicker at that.
[y/n: you love it, though]
[k.yugy: yes I do]
[k.yugy: how can I help you today, m’lady?]
This time you laugh. Yugyeom and you had been friends for a while now, since you two went on a date once, about ten months ago. The thing was, you two had a pretty good time, but he had just gotten out of a pretty bad relationship and you… well, let’s just say things weren’t good for you either. You never told him about it, but it wasn’t something you could easily tell people, like hey, my parents just got divorced and although I’ma grown ass woman, it messed me up pretty bad. After the date, as he dropped you off, you two agreed that maybe this just wasn’t the right time. Ever since then, you two kept in touch, sometimes hanging out, but nothing beyond friendly. The nickname ‘cupid’ came up during that first date because he told you he was a hopeless romantic, and that he was always setting his friends up on dates, hoping to give them a glimpse of what love can be. It just kind of stuck after that. 
[y/n: riddle me this]
[y/n: is bambam still single?]
He takes a while to answer and you roll your eyes. 
[y/n: my friend is looking for a potential date and from what you’ve told me, Bam sounds like the guy for her]
[k.yugy: well in that case Bambam is single and ready for a date tonight at 7]
[k.yugy: does that sound good for her?]
[y/n: amazing. she gets off of work at 5]
Another thing with you two is that even though the timing felt wrong, you both felt so so right. It was undeniable how well you two got along, and how attracted you both were; your hands seemed to always be on each other– arms, legs, face. Reaching the final decision to walk away had been one of the hardest things you’ve done, especially after he kissed you goodbye. 
[k.yugy: perfect]
[k.yugy: I’ll take him to that one place we went, and you take your friend]
[k.yugy: btw what’s her name?]
You frown at that. You two were meeting too?
[y/n: Mina]
[y/n: we’re going with???]
[k.yugy: we’re supervising]
[k.yugy: this is my last chance to get it right, y/n]
[k.yugy: Bam deserves this]
Part of you doesn’t think he is talking about Bambam at all. 
————————
You look nice, but not too nice. As the day passes and nighttime approaches, you have to remind yourself that Mina is the one going on a date– after not much convincing, to be honest,– and that you should look nice, and yet casual. In the end, you end up wearing a new outfit you got that afternoon and your hands are sweating like crazy. You smile; this feels like it did on your first date wit Yugyeom. 
It’s been a while, you think, waiting for Mina in your shared living room. It’s been a while since I cared.
“Okay, how do I look?”
You felt like a proud mother once your eyes fell on your friend. She looked radiant. 
“So beautiful I might just keep you all to myself,” You say, giving her a playful wink. 
You two joke around until you reach the restaurant; it was a small, intimate place, one that Yugyeom first introduced you to, and then you just kept going back. The owner, an old, loving lady, greets you with a smile and walks you to a table where Yugyeom and the man you assumed was Bambam were. 
“Hello, boys,” You smile wide, eyes shinning upon seeing Yugyeom for the first time in two months. You two gotten so busy with work that meeting up was impossible then. “Waited long?”
“Just enough,” Yugyeom answers with a wink and motions for you to sit in front of him. While you got comfortable, you noticed Mina and Bambam shyly introducing themselves to each other. 
“So…” Mina looks at you sideways. “Is this like a double date?”
If you could choke on water, you would; but unfortunately there was no water and you choke on air. 
“Hm, something of the sorts,” Yugyeom says with that wicked smile you knew from long ago and something inside you twists. 
Dinner goes as smoothly as it possibly could; Yugyeom mentions your past date a few times, you ignore him while he does is, Mina and Bambam seem to be on a world of their own, and by the time the check comes, they are the first ones to get up.
“We are going to take a walk,” Mina announces and, grabbing her date’s hand, dashes out of the restaurant.
“A walk my ass!” You exclaim, picking up the tab. “They just didn’t want to pay.”
At that, Yugyeom laughs fondly at you. 
“Ah, I forgot how cute you looked when you get frustrated…”
“We’ve gone out once,” You joke.
“Wrong,” He says, leaning forward to look into your eyes. “We’ve gone out on a date once; we’ve gone out multiple times.”
“Yugy…”
He shakes his head, and smiles. He smiles that same smile he did when he kissed you, ten months ago. 
“Nu-uh,” He says cutely. “We’re not doing this again. Where you at, Y/N?”
“… here?” You say confused.
“No, babe,” He repeats himself. “Where you at?”
Weirdly enough, this time you get it. 
“I’m– I’m not sure,” You sigh. “What happened before is still happening and I’m not sure, Yugy, I’m sorry.”
“I see,” He says, and the smile doesn’t falter. “Ask me.”
“Where you at, Yugyeom?” 
“I’m right here,” He says, index finger hitting the table. “Right here with you. I’ve been here for about three months, actually, although I’ve missed you for way more than that.”
“Yugyeom–“
“I regret that night every time I remember it.” 
You breath in. This could be really good, or really bad. 
“I regret leaving you by your door with just a lousy kiss,” He mumbles. His eyes locked yours in; gaze so intense you could feel your body on fire. “Because I knew that with that one lousy kiss I hurt you more than I could imagine.”
“How did you know?” You whisper, finally allowing yourself the time and the effort to just be vulnerable.
His hands find yours, over the unpaid check, and he squeezes them. 
“Cause I was hurting too, love.”
His voice comes out soft and low, and you are not sure what to do next. Your heart is yarning for him, beating faster and faster as if it would only calm down when you got to his arms, but your head– damn, your head was torn in between going to him and leaving again. You are still struggling with everything happening to your family, and you are not sure if you can just give him your all. 
You feel a comforting pressure on your forehead and you open your eyes to find Yugyeom closer than before, face near yours, and thumb soothing the frown on your face.
“I can see the wheels turning in here,” He taps your head lightly. “And I just want to say that although you say you don’t know where you are, I can guarantee you that I do. Know where I am, I mean; and that is enough. It was a problem before because we were both in bad places, so even if we had tried it was just a matter of time, but now… now I’m here with my arms open, waiting for you. You can trust me to take care of you when you can’t, and I’ll trust you to take care of me when you are ready.”
“I just don’t want to disappoint you…” You say, leaning forward and trying to meet him halfway. Hungry mouth meets hungry heart and everything is just too much. “I’m hurting and I don’t want to hurt you.”
You two are leaning over the table; his hand, the one that isn’t holding yours, finds your hair and grabs onto it for dear life. His lips, as soft and demanding as before, keep pulling and pushing; taking and giving. You could feel everything– the frustration, the need, the want. And you wanted it too, you wanted him too.
“With time,” He whispers, pulling away and you try to follow his lips. “You’ll get here with time, and I’ll be next to you as you walk. You’ll stop hurting one day babe, and I can help you get there.”
“What if I want to run?” You say, a smirk on your face. This is it, your changing moment; you are not going to suffer anymore, you are not going to mope– you are taking charge. If Yugyeom is what you want, he is what you get. The past ten months had been hell, for you. You kept waiting for him to show up at your door and tell you he wanted you. Every time your friends called you a hopeful romantic, you’d laugh, thinking of the too tall boy with too much faith in love.
“Can you?” He asks with a chuckle, the riddles getting too much for him. He wanted you. Now. 
You nod, kissing his nose. “I can run really fast,” You say dropping enough money to cover dinner and tip on the table and pulling him out of the restaurant by his hand. “Especially if we’re running to my place.”
“Race you there.” He winks and you could swear that, as you dash through the streets, you passed by Mina and Bambam making out in a bench.
————————
The next day, when you wake up feeling too tired and too warm, you can’t help but think what a good day it was. The torrential rain outside couldn’t bother you; the too warm temperature of your body– and the body next to yours– couldn’t bother you. The loud moaning coming from Mina’s room… could bother you, even if just a little, but you chose to ignore it. That’s how happy you were. Until you weren’t. 
Moving swiftly, you detangle yourself from a sleeping Yugyeom and make your way into the kitchen, suddenly feeling like breathing is the hardest thing to do. 
“Are you okay?”
You jump and look back at Bambam. He is wearing only his pants and looks incredibly tired, but then again, so did you. 
“Y-yeah, I’m– shit!– It’s… I’m fine.” You struggle to breath in between words and a you can see him worrying. 
“Should I get Mina or Yugye–“
“Don’t.” 
This time, your voice comes out clear and sharp. Bambam frowns but moves to sit next to you.
“I’ve heard about you, you know?” He whispers, looking at you expectantly. 
“I’ve heard about you, too…” You answer, writing to see where this conversation is going.
“Yeah, but I’m the best friend,” He chuckles. “You’re the first love.”
“The what?!” 
Bambam looks at you alarmed.
“He didn’t tell you last night?!” He screeches, and you have to cover his mouth to keep him from yelling the building awake. “Are you fucking kidding me?! Ya! Let me go, I’ll go get him– let me go! Ya! Kim Yugyeom, you fucking fool!”
“Stop that!” You hiss at him, and he bites your fingers, making you yelp and remove your hand from his mouth. 
“No,” He responds. “He needs to stop that– I am fed up with this!”
“What the hell is going on?!”
You look at the corridor to find Yugyeom rubbing his eyes awake. There was something about that image– Yugyeom trying to wake up while shirtless,– that just made your heart swell. 
“What’s going on,” Bambam seethes with squinted eyes. “Is that you are the biggest fucking idiot in the whole of South Korea. Scratch that– the entire world! You are a fucking hypocrite!”
“What are you–“
“You didn’t tell her!”
“Tell her what?” 
“That you are in love with her!”
The silence that takes over the room is unbearable. Mina joins as soon as it happens and she gasps, holding your hand and you freaked out. You knew Yugyeom saw; he could read you like a book. He saw your wild eyes and he was sure he’d lost you then.
“… it wasn’t the right time,” Yugyeom sighs, and there is something off with his voice; a slight shake in the tone, almost as if he was about to cry– and if he was, you were right there with him. “But I guess she knows now, so that’s… cool.”
“You talked about her for three months, every night,” Bambam says, and you wish he’d just shut up. You know he is doing it out of love for his best friend, but everything is already so fucking weird and he is not helping. “Until you just stoped. And we all saw; you kept punishing yourself, over and over again, because you were so sure you had hurt her. So you just redirected your efforts, I guess; onto me. And you kept telling me I deserve happiness, and that I shouldn’t give up, and that love is real, but what does that say about you? You deserve to be happy too!”
You can’t ignore the fact that Bambam had a point. 
“Wait,” Mina mumbles. “You’re him?”
“Mina, no.” You beg. 
“No, Bambam is right, and if I’m right too, then you two deserve each other,” She chuckles. “The two biggest idiots in the world.”
“Him who?” Yugyeom asks.
“I don’t know,” Mina shrugs. “Y/N came back from a date, around nine or ten months ago, crying and laughing and being all weird; and she never gave me a name, but the way she talked about him was just… something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve always wanted to love someone like that.”
“Please tell me I’m him,” Yugyeom begs, laughing as he says it, but his eyes look for clues on your face. 
“Of course you’re him, you idiot,” You say, fondness seeping through your voice. “Can you imagine how awkward this would be if you weren’t, though?”
“Oh, yeah,” Yugyeom says ironically. “Only then it would be awkward.”
You two stop bantering to look at your expectant friends. 
“Can you two give us a moment?” You ask, suddenly embarrassed. 
“Oh shit,” Bambam exclaims as if suddenly waking up from a trance. “Yeah, of course! Let’s go, babe!”
Babe? You’d have to ask about that later.
You find yourself sitting down in from of Yugyeom a few minutes later, hands slowly caressing his knees. 
“Hey,” You start. “They might’ve not done it the best way, but they kind of helped us.”
“I know,” Yugyeom sighs. “I just wanted to be the one to tell you.”
“You can still tell me,” You say and now you’ve moved; you slowly crawled onto his lap, and nestled yourself there. “Please tell me.”
“I love you, Y/N,” He says. “Have been in love with you for a while now.”
“You’re so stupid, you know that?” You ask with a sudden huff. “Stupid cupid.”
“Ya, seriously?” Yugyeom gasps. “I just said I love you!”
“I love you too,” You roll your eyes. “But that’s not the point. You should’ve called me sooner! You’re always match making your friends, how can you be so bad at this?!”
“I don’t know!” He says as loudly as you, mouth twitching in a weird side smile.
“Well, look where we are now!”
“Looks pretty good to me!” 
At this point, you two are practically shouting at each other’s faces. Laughing at your antics, you kiss him. Your hands find his hair and his go around your waist, pulling you closer.
It was finally time. You know how much Yugyeom dreamt of falling in love, and it was finally here; you were just glad it could be with you.
“Looks pretty good to me too.”
------------
lowkey the weirdest fic I’ve ever written, but I somehow can imagine yugyeom and bambam in this situation! what do you all think? too weird? let me know :P

Okay so the new trailer. I think I’m speaking for everyone when I say, holy fuCKING SHI-
As much as I loved the cinematography, the actors, and literally every other scene than what I’m about to bring up, I have two major issues that I have to address immediately.
1) The romanticized way they’re portraying Theo’s and Pippa’s relationship. Now this was to be expected, but I still have to call them out for it. Theo doesn’t know Pippa, pretty much at all, his “love” for her, is purely obsession. Even he himself admits this. His obsession on her is disturbing&unhealthy and should never be turned into a tragic romance about unrequited love. It’s just as bad as romanticizing Theo’s and Boris’ drug addiction.
I think it’s very offensive to interpret (and especially portray on film) Tartt’s writing as something that normalizes obsession on women. Theo literally sniffs her clothing without her consent and fucking picks up her hair and keeps it?? Do you really think, that this Pulitzer Prize winning author intended for people men to interpret their relationship this way?
This is another case where we see perfectly how Hollywood (which is literally run by white cishet men btw) treats stories like this. How Hollywood treats women. Pippa was aware that a more intimate relationship with Theo would have been unhealthy. To portray her any other way, is problematic to say the least. She wasn’t interested in him, and rejected him multiple times, and was uncomfortable because of him (i.e. Theo forcing himself on her, kissing her without consent, is harassment and there’s no sugarcoating it).
2) The painfully blatant queerbaiting. This was also to be expected, but that doesn’t make it any less awful or immoral. They used a bunch of scenes between Theo and Pippa, that were meant to be viewed as romantic, but then inserted the goodbye kiss in anyway.
Crowley expressed his interpretation in his first interview, before the first trailer. He said it’s reductive to call Theo’s and Boris’ feelings homosexual, and made it very clear he won’t be portraying Theo’s and Boris’ relationship as romantic (he’s erasing a part of the source material, the queerness of these characters. This is called queer erasure), and yet they use the QUEER KISS BETWEEN THESE BOYS in the PROMO MATERIAL (the trailer). What exactly is that supposed to convey to the audience?
This is queerbaiting 101. You deny the possibility of queer identity in your characters, but then use a queer kiss in your advertisement material (I mean at least try to be more subtle about it??? Like come the fuck on who do you think you’re fooling here??).
Crowley isn’t the only problem here. Not even close. It’s the whole production, that’s encouraging and letting this happen.

A/N: I understand if you want to murder me. But since I got a new wave of followers lately (thank you btw and welcome) and it’s also a gift for doctor @damned-fangirl​ for her graduation, hope you like it!
You couldn’t believe at yourself. It’s been a whole week and you still held that stupid smile on your face since that night with Sehun. Having to put with even your mom teasing you was not for you.
Yes, part of you still had worries about what you were gonna do to stop the whole scheme that tied your history to sehun’s but he was just being so sweet you kinda held the anxiety back and focused on the now. And that meant focusing on opening up the door to meet Sehun.
“Aren’t you a little early? I’m so sick of you obsessing over me” your fake annoyance is quickly torn by him mumbling for you to shut up and pulling you to a short kiss. 
“Fine- you mess up his hair -  I’ll spend more hours with you just because it is your birthday”
He frowned and tried to fix his hair “I’m surprised you remember��
“Excuse me, how would I forget your birthday?” this time you were the one to pull him into a kiss “happy birthday”. He shared a cute smile and said “Okay, did you pack some stuff as I told you? I have a surprise”
“Ah yes - you showed him your bag - I just don’t get it why all this suprise talk if the birthday is yours anyways”
“I donate even when I’m supposed to be receiving, you know how good of a person I am” he says dramatically.
You hum and nod “yea..sure”
“Let’s go? It’s good if we can get that early still”
“Oh wait, I need to show you this” You open up your back and show him a dress “what do you think for the party? it’s not as pretty as the one you gave me last year but it’s cute enough I guess”
“Party? What are you talking about?” He asked in confusion, confusing you in the process.
“Huh? Sehun, your annual birthday party? Did you forget? You used to look forward so much to it”
“Oh” He started laughing as you stared at him “y/n, I won’t be hosting the party this year”
“You won’t? what? why? first time I put some effort into it and you’re telling me there won’t be any party?” you sulked as you threw the dress back in your bag.
He still laughed at your reaction as he answered “I’m sorry babe but I was sick of having those people that I barely know anymore in my house, but you can still wear the dress tonight, I certainly won’t oppose to it”
“Ok then, if there’s no party then what are we doing mr?”
“You’d know faster if we got going as I said” he offered his hand for you to take it and you two headed to his car as you screamed a little goodbye to your mother on the way.
“You can’t be this mysterious with me Sehun - you said while he started driving -what if you kidnap me or something? How am I supposed to know i’m not in grave danger?”
He looked at you for a second and let out a giggle “I don’t think you’d be that mad if I did to be honest”
You were about to answer on the same note when you noticed you were receiving a call, since your phone was in your hand, Sehun took a glance as well and let out a sigh “Ah what does this guy wants now?”
It was Jungkook who was calling “well, unlike someone who has completely ignored school exits, he is probably just wanting to know something about our assignment”
“Yeah and who calls at a sunday to talk about school y/n?”
“I’m not answering ok? just forget about it”
“You shouldn’t even have his phone, he’s probably gonna track you at some time”
“Oh my God Sehun, stop assuming everyone is plotting against us, I know we’ve came across people like that but he’s just a normal guy, at least have normal suspicious a jealous person would have instead of assuming he is a criminal”
“So you’re saying I should be jealous?”
“That’s your choice, but you shouldn’t be stressing over this today, even if your intuition says he is ready to hunt me down, just focus on your day and let’s enjoy it together”
“You’re right” he said and seemed to relax a little bit.”Let me connect my playlist now instead of hearing your shitty song choices please, it’s my birthday”
“Oh god, will I really have to endure 50 cent Sehun again?”
“Yes, you will” he laughed along and pressed play.
While he seemed to have fun you found yourself looking at him for more than you should until eventually he realized too “what’s up?”
“Nothing, you looked cute that’s all”
“So you finally admit 50 cent Sehun is the cutest Sehun?” he asks with a smile on his face
“Hmmm no, original Sehun is still the cutest” you followed with a kiss on his cheek.
“I should have birthdays more often”
“Shush don’t ruin the moment... how far are we anyways?”
“Not too far, I’ve heard time goes faster if you kiss the one who’s getting older today”
You slapped his arm “I told you not to ruin the moment but you can’t help it right?”
He followed by turning up the volume of the song and trying to get you to sing with him, which turned into a mess of giggles and him shouting for you to ‘be the beyonce to his jayz’
How the hell did you end up liking this guy of all people?
The karaoke session did help in making the time pass faster and Sehun announced you have arrived.
You were in the middle of nowhere and all you could see was green “you’re not ledit kidnapping me right?” you asked as he got out of the car and went to get something in the backseat.
“Nah, that’d take too much work, instead I am going to poison you with this” he took out a picnic basket.
“What? We’re having a picnic?” You helped him getting the bottle he was carrying and followed him.
“Yeah,...is that weird?”
“No, it’s so cute, we haven’t had one in years”
You found a nice spot to sit down and start your picnic. “How did you find this? Did you just drive until you found somewhere peaceful?”
“What? no, I rented that cabin we just passed through for us”
“Oh?”
“You thought I’d come all the way just to have a picnic and then drive all the way back?”
“I don’t know, I’m just surprised you’d be so romantic, are you trying to seduce me Oh Sehun?”
“I’d only need me for that, but no, I just wanted to spend some quality time with my-” he stopped himself and continued “with you”
You smiled “what was that?”
“You got it”
“Were you gonna call me your girlfriend or am I hearing things?”
“Yeah I guess” he shrugged his shoulders “I thought you’d find it weird though”
“No, I just wasn’t aware i was...”
“I mean” he gulped “Do you want to?”
“Want to what?” you teased him and hid your smile behind the glass you were having.
“I swear you just love to torture me since we met” he whined and took a breath “Do you, y/n , want to be my girlfriend?”
“Hmmmm” you pretended to think about it and picked up a flower that was close to you “should I say yes?” you took out a petal “or should I say no?” you repeated the action and saw Sehun rolling his eyes beside you and moving towards you, he picked up the flower from your hands and placed it above your right ear as he said “Stop making me go through this and just answer”
“Of course” you gave him a quick peck “what else would I answer?” he pulled you in for another kiss, but this time more than just a peck as you felt his other arm hug your waist for support, you welcomed his advances and allowed yourself to fall into his embrace, and he laid you down gently as the touches grew more heavy.
You suddenly felt him smile in the kiss and opened your eyes slightly when he stopped for a brief moment “I didn’t rent a cabin for us to do this in the grass”
Laughing at his antics you agreed “that’s my boyfriend”
You two ended up finishing your meal and then heading to the cabin afterwards where he attacked you with kisses which he claimed was his dessert, not that you minded anyways and you spent a pretty fun afternoon entangled in each other’s arms.
“This is so much better than a party, you were right” you said while you two were cuddling near the fire place. He hummed and you remembered “do you remember the first time you kissed me was exactly a year ago?”
“Yeah, that’s true” 
“I still wonder what made you confess to me all of a sudden, was it just the alcohol or?”
“Well the alcohol helped but no, I just I don’t know, I realized I liked you for real and thought I should try”
“I’m glad you did”
He hugged you a little bit stronger and said “you seem to be the only thing in my life I’m sure of, the rest is just fuzzy”
“Well I can relate, we did find out together that our lives weren’t what they seemed to be and we’re going through it, it’s gonna get better”
You both jumped as you heard a harsh knock at the door.
A/N: Short and sweet I guess but this time I won’t take this long to update since next part will be the second to last part of this baby, thank you for reading
