Watching a speedrun of a game is like listening to a magician explain his tricks
it’s fun to know the mechanics and hard work that got put into the trick/game, but it also ruins the trick/game’s suspension of disbelief and narrative charm
that’s not to say that speedrunning is bad, honestly it’s ridiculously fun to watch people break games over their knees to get an insanely good time, but it should be something you watch after you’ve already enjoyed the game to the fullest extent as how the devs intended.
jfiddne also this isn’t me saying “you’re bad if you get into a game just to watch speedruns” idfc what you do with your time online, you do what you like to do, i’m just comparing two things together

May I please request “You’re perfect just the way you are” for Peter please? Istg, our short king deserves so much love.
uuuugh you're so right!! give him kisses ;w;
105 Comfort Prompts
28. “You’re perfect just the way you are.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Most of the time, you can’t blame PETER for being angry and bitter.
He’s a man who the rest of the world look at as if he’s a child. If someone doesn’t disbelieve him that he’s an adult, they’re making fun of him because he looks different than other men. It’s not even only him; the rest of his family have been outcast, mocked, jeered at, derided, just for existing in a way that isn’t the way many people exist.
It’s wrong and horrible, and you can’t fault him for being furious about the way he and his loved ones have been treated.
… But he never acts like this. He never just lies in bed, curled up, huffily scooting away from you every time you try to touch him. For all his insecurity, he’d rather let it burn brightly and deny to the world that anything is ‘wrong’ with him, instead of letting himself get lost in it and isolate himself in sadness.
You’re not sure exactly what happened. You could wager a guess, of course. The only words he’s spoken to you are to tell you that you should get out, you should leave him, you should go find a real man instead of half a man.
Like hell that’s happening. Whether he likes it or not, he’s a real man. So you’re not going anywhere, no matter how much he tries to push you away.
“I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s going on,” you sigh as you stretch out next to him. If he actually doesn’t want you here, he has no qualms at all about kicking you out of the bed or out of his tent. (He’s done it before when he needs time to himself, so there’s nothing stopping him from doing it again.) As long as he doesn’t do that, even if he’s upset, there must be some part of him which wants you here. “And I hate to be the one to tell you, since you don’t already know, but you’re stuck with me.”
He scoffs, although it sounds significantly less frustrated than usual. He just sounds… defeated. “Wot are y’ stickin’ round f’r, anyway, ‘uh? Wot y’ think’s gonna ‘appen? Y’re gonna get sick’a me. Ain’t gonna marry me ‘r nothin’. I wouldn’t marry me. Y’re gonna get tired’a ‘avin’ t’ bend down t’ kiss me, ‘r y’re gonna get irrita’ed with me not bein’ able t’ reach stuff without climbin’ on somethin’… ‘ow many more times can y’ take people askin’ if I’m y’r son before y’ get fed up with it?”
The way he curls in on himself makes him look so, so small and vulnerable. As if he really, truly thinks there’s something so fundamentally wrong with him that you’re going to just stop loving him one day. “Y’ can’t promise y’re gonna stick round,” he mumbles. “Y’re gonna find somethin’ y’ can’t deal with. Somethin’ about me that jus’ ain’t worth it. Always ‘appens. ‘Cause God was prob’ly fuckin’ drunk when ‘E made me. Jus’ a joke. Jus’ stupid. Go on, then, get movin’.”
You’re certain he expects you to just leave after all that. Surely, he’s said similar things to other people who’ve left him. The only thing you know about that part of his past is that he’s told you that very few people have ever stayed longer than a month or two with him, if that.
You don’t want to be like everyone else. You want to stay.
“I don’t believe God was drunk when He made you, Peter. I think He just… knew the same thing that I do.” You gently wrap your arms around your lover’s middle, pulling him closer to you. Despite the fact that he fusses a little, (making these little sounds that mean he just doesn’t know what to do with your kindness), he settles into it quickly. “You’re perfect just the way you are.”
When you get a snort of disbelief for your trouble, you simply draw him in against your chest, pressing a kiss into his hair. “If I don’t think you’re perfect, then why do I smile when I get to cuddle with you in bed? Why do I always start the applause after you and Wendy do your performance? Why do I wish you had a surname so I could imagine it following my first name?”
You only know that he’s starting to cry because of his breathing. Because he always does those short, quick, copious breaths when he’s trying not to lose control and start sobbing.
Has he ever noticed any of these things before, excepting the last one? Did he not realize just how wonderful you think he is and how happy you are that he’s alive so you get to share your life with him?
“I love you, so much.” You nestle your face into his neck, and you let your hands slip up under his shirt. “If you want me to show you just how perfect you are, I can.”
Of course… you don’t want him to think that’s all he’s good for. “Or I can just lie here and tell you every single little thing I love about you,” you whisper into his ear, before ducking back into his neck to kiss the tender skin there. “Your call, sweetheart.”
His breathing goes funny, in a different way. You wonder if he’s conflicted about which he should choose; sex or compliments. As it happens, you’re capable and willing of giving both. You’re just not about to take advantage of him in a bad moment.
At last, he shifts around to reach down, curling his fingers around yours under his shirt.
“Keep talkin’,” he murmurs. “… But keep y’r ‘and right there while y’ do.”

LA TIERRA IS A VAMPIRE (?) | We gather here today to honor not!Vampire, pobrecito playboy, Carlos “Charlie” Calles
(sí, yo sé que ‘tierra’ es más ‘earth’ que ‘world’ but they can’t all be homeruns oh-kay, doin my best)
From Aquí en la Tierra - Un Pájaro, Season 1, episode 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So like … I’m not even gonna attempt to explain what’s happening in this scene nor the insane but visceral response that I had to him wiping that blood off his mouthbsjejsjsjs. Yes, there are myriad things wrong with me, but we do not have the time today. All I can say is despite all appearances, this is not in fact a vampire show. I know what you’re thinking.
But how ??? We have all the ingredients, all the food groups are equally represented:
✔︎ominous, dank, doomsday prepper basement complete with old-timey furniture
✔︎the $300 bottle of Scotch
✔︎perfectly weathered leather jacket that unquestionably smells like expensive cologne and cigarettes
✔︎the not-too-little-not-too-much-but-just-right delectable scruff ghtfsksjsjswf
✔︎the disturbingly H O T blood on his face, a la my face after eating one of those strawberry jam Smuckers Uncrustables but like not sad ..jus hot
✔︎the white hot intensity with which he drags on that 2nd cigarette like it’s all he has left in this world
✔︎the profound self loathing and deranged panic of a deeply broken man who, for all intents and purposes, is basically the living embodiment of the It’s Always Sunny/Pepe Silva conspiracy meme.
✔︎a man who, for so many reasons, is serving some distinct “here’s a fun project/I’m dying for you to fix me” vibes
And I’m sure you’re thinking “in what possible context/plot/script/universe would it make sense for a man to attack another man in such a manner like an all-you-can-eat buffet at the Golden Corral, other than a vampire show/movie??” Well, trust me when I say it does makes sense and miraculously, the show is not complete and total garbage you don’t know how I wish could say the same for Quien mata a Sara or Ingobernable but i digress.
With that, today’s lecture is over. Your homework is to find a way to watch Aquí en la Tierra and joke’s on you bc that is a lottt more work than one would expect if you don’t live in Latin America🙃

that night [harry styles]
A best friends to something else type of story. Exactly 7.8k (literally 7800 words which is scary) and you know I can’t write that much without SMUT. This takes place during a sleepover at the end of quarantine! Maybe tell me what you thought? :) (I promise I’ll edit this soon!)
-
“Show me yer phone, love” Harry groaned, sending you the coldest of death stares. The night started off as usual, you two just watching some old documentaries, paying more or less attention to them as you mostly just sat and talked. Things took a turn when your phone started blowing up with messages. Being the kind of person who always replies in an instant, suspicions arose when you decided to completely ignore the texts. Although Harry never violated your privacy and never pushed you for answers you didn’t want to give, when you started laughing and got nervous about whoever it was that kept texting you, he figured it would be worth it to push your buttons.
“I said no” you repeated yourself, standing up from the couch. There were two main reasons you didn’t want to talk about the person texting you, and these 2 reasons were also probably the only two things in the world you wouldn’t want to discuss with him.
“Why no’?” he asked offended, following you into the kitchen, like a small child begging his parents to let him have his way, “What can be tha’ bad? I wouldn’t have asked any questions if yeh hadn’t been so off about it from the start”
You turned and looked at him dead in the eye, contemplating what to say next. He beat you to it.
“Is it a guy? Have you been seein’ someone?” Harry asked as he walked over to you, completely ignoring your personal space. “Is tha’ it? I don’t wanna read yeh texts, just tell me yes or no, and I’ll drop it. Promise”
You took a deep breath. “Yes, it’s a guy” you said calmly, “But we’re not seeing each other”
“Then why does he keep texting yeh like crazy?”
“Crazy…” you sighed, tapping your chin, “Good description”
“Come on, Y/n” Harry whined, tapping your shoulder as he walked past you and towards the refrigerator, “Just tell me, I’m really curious, crazy how?”
“Promise you’re not gonna freak out?” you laughed, grabbing whatever he was pulling out of the fridge and handing to you. You stopped paying attention after three cups of pudding and one bottle of wine.
“When have I ever freaked out?” he joked, mocking himself. He was usually a calm person, more composed than anyone you’ve ever met, and he less than rarely got angry. And from those times when he did lose his temper, 90% of cases were mild and he was still calmer than anyone else in that kind of situation, but that 10% left was pure terror. When his friends told you years ago that nothing’s scarier than Harry when he was truly mad, you didn’t quite believe them. You had to see for yourself to accept it. It only happened a few times in almost 5 years, but you always still did everything you could to keep him from going off again.
“Ok, so” you started speaking as you rummaged around your kitchen for bowls and glasses, “His name is Marcus and we actually met on Tinder-”
“Wait a second” he cut you off, “During the lock down?”
“Oh, no. It happened before all of this madness. Around january, I think”
It was obvious he was already bothered by how this conversation started, but he did his best to control himself so you wouldn’t decide to drop it. “Pretty serious, then, huh?” he said eventually.
“Literally the opposite” you laughed, pouring the pudding into the bowl, “We saw each other once-” and it hurt you to say the following part but you did it nonetheless, “hooked up, and didn’t talk since”
Pure annoyance was readable on his features. “Apparently haven’t talked until now?”
“Yeah, I mean-” you cringed, “He texted me like a week or so ago and we didn’t - vibe, and he got weird, so like I muted the conversation for 7 days because I didn’t want him to bother me anymore but he got so defensive it was funny so I didn’t really wanna block him”
“Yeh muted the guy a week ago and he still keeps trying?” Harry asked, completely taken aback, “Can’t blame him, but still, tha’s a bit much”
“It is” you nodded in agreement, and motioned for him to open the bottle of wine for you.
“He must have liked yeh a lot” he mumbled, twisting the corkscrew into the top of the bottle, “Maybe you two had a really great time, and he-”
“Harry” you stopped him, leaning your head to the side, “I know you’re squeezing information out of me right now, but I honestly don’t think you want to hear more of this”
“Ok” he sighed defeated, “I’m gonna stop pushin’ yeh. Thanks for tellin’ me tho. And sorry if I crossed any lines''
“You haven’t, H” you smiled, giving him a hug from behind. “It’s fine”
After gathering everything you had fixed up to take into the living room, the pudding and the wine, as you passed the threshold of the kitchen, you heard Harry speak up, traces of amusement audible in his voice. “But like… At least was the sex good?”
“You want me to answer that?” you chuckled, plopping down on the couch. “Do you seriously want me to answer that?”
“Yeah” Harry shrugged, smiling innocently.
“It was horrible” you said bluntly and watched his grin wilt away. “Probably the worst sex I’ve ever had. No, no, no.. Definitely the worst sex I have ever had in my entire life”
His mouth fell agape. “Seriously? Why?”
“Well, i got to his house… And you know, up until then everything was fine, like he seemed like a completely normal and fun guy while we texted but like, as soon as i got to his place he became really… I don’t even know how to put it, he was um.. Very clingy and weird and we talked for a bit but then when we went to his room he turned into literally the biggest asshole I met”
“What?” Harry exclaimed, “Tha’s not wha’ I expected”
“Exactly!” you laughed, “Neither did I!”
“Then wha’ happened?”
“I went down on him and he didn’t do the same because apparently he finds that gross? That’s what he told me but I didn’t wanna get into it because I went there to get dick so I was like let’s just fuck, and we did… We made out a bit, got him worked up again, and when we fucked I literally thought something was wrong with me, because he just.. I don’t know. Bumped into me and after he finished I was there like… What just happened?”
“Yeh were right when yeh said I didn’t wanna hear this”
“Told you” you giggled, grabbing your pudding and toying with your teaspoon.
“Jus’ stop using Tinder, please” Harry eventually shook his head.
“A girl has needs, ok?”
He was enraged and completely ignored your words, “And wha’ does he want from yeh now? He really thinks yeh’d see him again? Really?”
“I don’t even know what he’s been saying, honestly” you shrugged.
“Can I see?” 
“Can you like, read from the notification box? I don’t wanna leave him on seen”
Harry nodded in agreement and you gave him your phone. He pressed the lock button, the screen lit up, and it was instantly flooded with texts from him. Since you put the conversation on mute a week ago, you had no idea what he had been saying. It seemed that he didn’t appreciate your lack of interest and that he didn’t bother to hold back.
‘You pathetic whore, u really think ur gonna find someone better than me? U think ur so high and mighty and hot but  ur gonna die alone you bitch. Do u feel better about yourself if u juts ignore my texts???? Well good for fucking u-’ and Harry locked the phone, the screen going black.
“The fuck did I just read?” he questioned, his annoyance from earlier, now morphing into pure anger.
“You said you wanted to read” you shook your head.
“Why does he think he can talk to yeh like that?”
“I don’t honestly care” you sighed, “It’s not like I’ll ever see him again, so he can go and say anything he wants”
“‘S not how that works, darlin’” he said.
"Can we drop this, please" you sighed, unable to quite look in his direction, "I don't like this"
"Well-" Harry erupted and judging by the way his voice instantly died down, you could tell he almost lost control, "I don't fucking like it either, ok? But yeh shouldn't jus' accept tha'!"
"I wouldn't call it acceptance, H" you shook your head, discarding your bowl of pudding and jumping straight to the bottle of wine. "I told him I'm not interested, and I stopped replying. It's not acceptance... he just keeps trying"
"But for some reason yeh're letting him talk t' yeh like tha'"
"Well-" you shrugged, and took a big gulp of red wine, "He talks by himself"
"Y/n…" Harry called, his voice soft and you could tell that there was anger hidden somewhere deep inside, but you still appreciated the fact that he managed to keep it contained. He extended his arm, his fingers brushing against the side of your thigh. It was a soft, delicate touch, that made every hair on your body stand up. He did it to get your attention and boy, did it work. Instantly, your eyes snapped to his, and were met with something you did not see coming. "Can I say something?" he asked cautiously, his eyes shining with genuine worry.
"You're making this into something much more significant than it actually is"
"I'll drop it" he eventually nodded, "If you promise me something"
"What?"
"If anythin' similar to this happens again, tell me"
"And what are you gonna do about it?" you giggled, trying to lighten the mood. As you kept staring into his green eyes, you brought the wine bottle up to your lips, took a long sip, and then handed it to him.
He took the bottle out of your hands, seemingly not giving more than two shits about it. The warmth in his eyes accentuated as his eyebrows gathered into a concerned furrow, "Make sure it doesn't get to yeh"
"It doesn't" you smiled.
"Lemme make sure" 
"Ok, Harry" you laughed, "I promise you that the next time a guy from Tinder gets mad about me not reciprocating the feeling, and he starts sending me that kind of texts, I will tell you"
The sarcasm just flowed out of you, and he was not impressed.
"I meant in general, love"
"Any guy?" you taunted, "Not just from tinder?"
"Fucking put on tha’ movie" he shook his head, "I know yeh too well. Won't get anywhere until you get some wine in tha’ belly"
"That's your plan?" you laughed, "Get me drunk and make me spill all my secrets?"
"I never assumed you had any secrets, but yeah, now I wanna know those too" Harry grinned, throwing his arm around you and pulling you to his chest. Although this kind of intimacy was something you've been somewhat used to, tonight it was just a bit more difficult to bear. And it may all have been due to the way he mentioned he wouldn’t want anything to get to your head, and the way he said he’d make sure of it. Even though you weren’t truly clear how he’d do that and what exactly was going through his head, it was crystal clear how you’d have him do that.
But now was not the time. You glued your eyes to the TV screen, and begged your brain to focus on the movie in front of you and not whatever Harry was thinking about, mere inches away from you.
There had been something in the air that night, because neither of you managed to pay any kind of attention to the movie anymore. You talked, the conversation not going back to the previous topic, you laughed, gossiped like there was no tomorrow, and now it was almost 4am, and you and Harry were 3 bottles of wine in. Deciding to cut the alcohol before it was too late, you settled for water, as Harry went on to finish a weird story he once heard from a hippie touring the states in his van. He was completely smitten, his eyes shone with admiration for the old man. Harry spoke with words of great respect about a life he wished he could once live. It was only a matter of time until it would get to you.
“But,” you sighed, laying down and placing your head into his lap, “You really seem like the kind of guy to pack his bags and just leave. Like get a couple of friends or something, leave a note saying you’ll eventually be back, and just travel around the world”
“I kinda already do tha’ love” Harry laughed, double chin showing as he looked down at you.
“Not what I meant” you shook your head, “And you know it”
“Wha’ did yeh mean, then?”
He looked down at you, his hands finding their way into your hair as you contemplated how to put the words together. “I don’t know… Less social interaction-” you finally said, “Make it less about living the same songs in front of thousands of people, and more about living a completely new experience as you really get to know just a handful of people”
He didn’t look convinced. His dimples were showing, and a chuckle was threatening to escape his lips.
“That didn’t make any sense, did it?” you laughed.
“It did” Harry smiled, “Might have’ta resume this in tha’ morning, but i think i got the idea”
You pointed your finger to him, “Best”
“Me?” he grinned, grabbing your hand, “Oh, stop it!”
“Not you, your idea”
“Nice save, love”
You wanted to object and keep this topic going as the butterflies in your stomach started to riot, but just as you opened your mouth to speak, the sound of your phone receiving another text filled the air. In an instant, your eyes locked with Harry’s and you knew he wasn’t gonna let any of that shit slide. Not wanting to give him the chance to protest, you sprung up and leaned towards the coffee table, your fingers barely managing to brush against the side of your phone before Harry grabbed your waist and yanked you back, pressing you against the cushions of the sofa as he hovered above you.
The intimacy and urgency of this whole charade made your skin crawl, and you couldn’t help but let a few giggles escape, “What are you doing?” you laughed.
“Not lettin’ tha’ asshole ruin your night, love” Harry smirked, tilting your head so that you had to face him. 
“I’ll see the text in the morning and it will ruin my whole day” you played along, but as it turned out, you dug your own grave.
“Oh?” he grinned, “So it does get to you”
“No!” you belted, “That is not what I meant, Jesus harry”
“Come on, hon” 
His head tilted to the side, before he leaned down and nudged the tip of your nose with his. “Jus’ say the word”
That sent burning chills down your spine, and your cheeks couldn’t do anything but to comply and turn an erotic shade of pink.
“I’m not sure what to say” you mumbled, fighting against the urge to jump on him.
“I’m yer best friend, love-” he made a small pause, for dramatic effect, and just stared down at you while your blood boiled, “Lemme show yeh how good yeh can feel”
“I-”
He cut you off, obviously proud of himself, “I obviously wouldn’t have asked twice if I hadn’t felt you squeeze your thighs around me”
“Fuck, Harry-” you said, embarrassment rushing all over you as you threw your hands in the air.
He leaned down, and brushed his lips along your jaw, “Yeh could be screaming tha’ name”
Regaining your composure, you grabbed his chin and forced him to make eye contact once again, “What does this mean to you?”
“It doesn’t have t’ mean anything we don’t want it to” he nodded, “Just friends looking out of one another”
“Mhm..” you choked, “Yep”
“Tell me, and I’ll get off of you”
Your answer came a short second later. “Yeah, get off” you said sternly.
His features barely got a chance to show the disappointment that enveloped him, because as soon as the words left your mouth, you pushed yourself up. Excitement started showing on his face as you pushed yourself up. With a devilish smile on your lips, you grabbed the hem of his shirt; not giving him a chance to secure his balance on his knees before you pulled the material up his body. He clumsily shuffled out of it, his tattoos coming into full view.
“Is that a new one” you asked, pointing to his left shoulder.
To your surprise he took you seriously, and looked down, obviously confused, “Which one, love?”
“This one” you grinned, pushing yourself up and against his chest, this way, giving yourself a chance to press your lips to the base of his neck.
Harry’s whole body shivered under you as he let out a small chuckle. Instantly, his hands found your waist. Once your lips grazed his sensitive skin, the muscles of his neck relaxed as if under a spell and his head fell back. Harry’s fingers dug into your sides as your teeth sunk his flesh, sucking profusely. Having waited for this so many years, it felt all too real and completely unreal at the same time. There was a fire burning inside of you and the soft moans slipping past his lips were no help with taming it.
“Having fun?” Harry laughed, but his confidence and usual air of self control were shaking.
As a response, you bit into his ear lobe and delighted yourself with the whimpers of pleasure he didn’t even try to hide.
Although burning for it, you didn’t have it in you to go for his lips, so when he was the one to do it, all your radars went crazy. The way he grabbed your chin and pulled you closer, it was all you wished for. Years worth of pent up emotions dripped from your lips and onto his.
How ungrateful and inappropriate would it have been for you to beg for more and guide the situation in a different direction? Even if his gentleness made your knees weak, the heat between your legs begged for a less kissing and a lot more biting. 
It was when he pressed you down against him that made you forget about everything that held you back. His erection was rubbing against your thigh as you grinded down on him, and you couldn’t help but break the kiss and sink your teeth into his lower lip.
Harry threw his head back against your touch, and a proud smile lifted up the corners of your mouth.
“Come on” you moaned, kissing your way down to his ear, “Show me how you should treat a girl”
His fingers snuck into your hair and pulled your head back, forcing your eyes to meet his’, “Is it me? Or are yeh a bit more excited for this than you initially let on?”
Your eyes sparkled as you let out the fib, “It’s just you”
Grinning, he shook his head in mock approval, and secured you in his hold, before effortlessly spinning the two of you around. Now, a mess of limbs, you looked up at Harry with what could only be described as pure lust. And it all reflected on his features. His ridiculously messy curls framed his face perfectly, allowing his proud gaze to fuel your engines.
With all your might you wanted to let him take the lead and not show too much enthusiasm, but it felt next to impossible. Before you knew it, your hands were cupping his cheeks again, forcing his body flush against your own. He kissed you back with no hesitation, as if he too waited years for this to finally happen, as if this was his dumb way of confessing to you that he too, was head over heels for you. But that was a scenario that regardless of its likelihood, was sure to ruin your mood. 
So you pushed it aside, forced your mind to fall on standby, and instead, you concentrated on the way his hands explored every single inch of your body. When he broke the kiss, you wanted to protest, your tongue crying from the sudden loss of contact. But his lips traveled lower, kissing all the way over down your neck, along your collarbones, and across your chest. It was all aggravated and hungry, as if he couldn’t get enough. 
“Yeh good?” Harry asked, looking up at you, cheeks all flushed.
“Yep, yeah” you whispered, the weight of the moment turning your voice into a light chuckle. Breathless and innocent, you were on cloud nine, and all your struggles to keep that hidden were in vain.
Delicately, as only he could, Harry pushed your shirt over your head, leaving you exposed, a fact which sent a whole new wave of pleasure down your body. This gesture alone shook your whole world, but he wasn't wasting any time. You barely even got a chance to catch your breath before he lowered himself, and cupped your breasts into his palms. Your back arched in an instant, and when his warm lips connected to your skin, goosebumps propagated all over your whole body. As circled his lips and caught your nipple between his teeth, your mind went crazy, muscles sizzling with anticipation. A suggestive moan slipped from your throat, and you could tell it surely tickled his ego.
“Gettin’ there?” he questioned even if he already knew the answer.
You threw him half a shrug, tilting your head to the side and pressing your cheek to your shoulder.
“So fuckin’ cute, angel” Harry chuckled, shaking his head as he crawled up your body, “Why’re yeh so cute?”
“How would I know?” you blushed, playing along with his overly teasing approach, “You’re the one who sad it”
“Don’t know why I think yeh’re cute?”
You nodded no.
A small but sure fire lit up his features, and he knew it was on. He did maintain the eye contact for a while, but when he finally looked down at your body, nonchalantly staring at your chest, that was when your breath got caught in your throat. The pressure was building up, yet Harry kept pushing your buttons. 
In desperate need to pick up the pace, you nudged his chin with the back of your fingers, and when his eyes caught yours; you raised one eyebrow, motioning for him to continue. “Wha’ do yeh want me t’ tell yeh, love?” Harry grinned, leaning down to kiss your neck.
“Tell me what you like about me” you laughed, linking your fingers in his hair. While you laughed due to the amount of different emotions that coursed through you, Harry made it all the more difficult for you to keep it together. His kisses were light enough for you to feel the ounces of love that dripped from his lips, but carnal enough to keep you on your toes.
“I love everything about yeh” he murmured against your skin, his chain of passionate kisses crossing over to the other side of your neck, “I mean, wha’s there not t’ like?”
“Word” you giggled, your sarcasm coming in perfect contrast to the weakness his question brought to your knees.
“Fuckin’ love every inch” Harry said, having completely ignored your joke, “Every single part of yeh, yer body and god, yer mind”
His hands cupped the sides of your rib cage, as his lips traveled down your sternum. He seemed lost, completely absorbed. Every time he looked up at you, it was impossible not to notice how out of this world his eyes seemed. Glossy and dark, extravagant green looking to explore more of you. And those were only the times you managed to catch him staring. The pleasure this man provided surpassed the moaning level, he got you working hard not to scream in ecstasy, as his tongue ran laps around your nipples, and the way his lips sucked with that specific amount of pressure. It looked as if he already knew where all your buttons were, he acted as if he knew your body better than you did. And for you, that was a new experience, which would’ve already been too much, even without Harry involved. But seeing your fingers get lost in his absolutely perfect in a messy kind of way locks, as he treated your skin with such refined skill, you found yourself way too close to the edge.
In the high of the moment, probably following an unidentifiable stimulus, you found yourself concentrated on the way his palms felt against your skin. He held you in his arms as if you were the most precious thing he ever laid eyes on. And for some reason, that feeling alone had you skyrocketing.
It was when you moaned out loud, for the first time not holding back, that he finally decided to give you what he promised. 
“Yeh sure this is ok, angel, yeah?” he murmured, looking up at you. 
His light stubble tickled the lower side of your abdomen as his breath barely managed to reach your skin. 
“Yeah” you clumsily nodded, your words coated in fervid enthusiasm.
Something happened. Something clicked inside of him. You saw it in the way his eyes warmed up. For a second he didn’t move, instead he just took in everything that was happening. When he eventually pushed himself up, you expected him to help you or motion for you to undress, but he didn’t. Harry lowered himself on top of you, pressing his chest against your own.
His fingers locked themselves against your chin, “I really wanna fucking do this right for yeh”
His confession took you aback. The seriousness in this tone was not something you anticipated. At first, he was the one who made it all seem like a meaningless game, yet right now, it seemed as though he fell into his own trap. 
All you could do was nod. Nod in approval, nod as a sign for him to keep going. As a promise that it was all ok. This attitude of his was not something you signed up for. Even if it looked like the beginning of what you always wanted, it also felt a little bit too sudden.
“Come here” you cooed, cupping his cheeks in a loving manner.
In an instant, he leaned into your touch, his skin burning against your damp palms. For the x-th time that evening, his lips melted onto yours, but something felt different. But you kept going, allowed the moment to carry you further without giving yourself the burden of dictating a direction. 
And seconds passed, and with each one, his touch became more and more aggravated. You could feel his need, and you have loved to think that what you were feeling from him was love, but it was just too big of a step to take right now. Not too shortly after, the situation escalated towards the point you left off earlier. You let him take the lead, and he soon returned to his usual self.
Harry made his way down your body through a chain of lingering kisses, each one of them awakening yet another side of you. This time, you were given no time to prepare. His experienced hands grabbed your thighs, groping their way up to your hips. Although it was fairly fast, it felt like an eternity. You breathing picked up when his fingers hooked themselves into the waistband of your leggings, and without even thinking about it, you pushed yourself up, allowing him to take them off. 
Now, you hadn’t seen this coming, because if you had, you probably would have chosen to wear something less embarrassing than your Superman underwear. Your cheek heated up as if it was the first time a man had seen you naked, and all your insecurities washed over you. None of those thoughts crossed Harry’s mind though. 
He just smiled - a gesture whose roots you’d never know. 
Harry positioned himself between your legs, his fingers gingerly tracing up and down your outer thighs. “Really fucken gorgeous, yeh know tha’?”
His compliments have never been this hard to receive, “Shut up” you chuckled, rolling your eyes as you couldn't help but squirm under his stare.
“Wha’?” Harry grinned, leaning his head to the side as he let his teasing side take over, 
“Tha’ tinder fuckface never told yeh just how perfect yeh look?”
“This is still about him, huh?”
“It’s about yeh, love” Harry rolled his eyes, letting his nails graze your skin, “Always been about yeh, always will be”
With each word that let his mouth, he leaned down, lower and lower, until every inch of his body was pressing against your own. He dominated the moment, and you love it.
When he engulfed your lips into a kiss, his right hand traveled between your legs. That alone made your core vibrate, and knowing there was no way to hide your enthusiasm, made you smile.
You felt the back of his fingers trace up and down your opening, and his words confirmed your suspicions. He pulled away from your lips just enough so he could speak, but he was still too close for you to properly see his features - he was just a few literal inches away, “I can’t wait to taste yeh, doll”
The grin on his lips and the pride of his tone, had a visible effect on you. The hairs on your body stood up in anticipation, and you couldn’t help but arch your back and close your legs around him. You kissed him back, and this time, it was on.
As his tongue pushed past your lips, Harry’s hands lewdly traveled down your sides, caressing every inch of exposed skin they found in their way. You didn’t see the eagerness coming, but when he reached between your legs, the flimsy material of your underwear didn’t even begin to come in his way. He shoved his hand under your panties, his fingers instantly coming in contact with your opening.
It was solely the emotional value of the moment that made you nearly gasp. Harry took his sweet damn time, as if you needed any more foreplay. The pads of his fingers gingerly traced up and down your opening a few times, before coming back up again to rest against your clit. It was soft and easy at the beginning, but the feather light touch of his fingers started gaining more and more pressure as subtle circular movements started to form.
When you looked up at him, you were met with the mess of curls that had fallen onto his forehead as he had his head hanging low, with his eyes trained between your bodies. With a gentle nudge against his chin, you prompted him to look up. At first he seemed a bit disoriented, but a wicked grin shortly appeared on his lips. It made you smile.
He was the one to resume the kiss, making it gentle this time - in perfect contrast with the action of his fingers, as he slowly made his way past your folds. When the first finger went in, you curled the corners of your mouth in anticipation. It felt fine, but it was just the tip of the iceberg and you knew it. Eager for more, you allowed your teeth to lewdly sink into his lower lip, willing to show him you wanted more. 
With a grunt, Harry shuffled a bit, his knees bucking into your hips. The deep breath he released tickled your skin, but you weren’t going to let this go. As you forced your teeth just a bit deeper into his plush skin, Harry let his forehead fall against yours. 
His tongue neatly traced along your upper lip, and you thought it was in response to your actions. And this erroneous thought kept you from anticipating his next move. When Harry pushed one more finger in, your senses went mad, and the simple fact that he didn't give you too much time to adjust before he pushed a third finger in, rocked you completely. 
You moaned in return and arched your back.
"I got yeh, baby girl" he whispered softly, "Look at me, I got yeh, ok?"
After receiving an enthusiastic nod from you, Harry made his way down your body. This time, he swiftly shuffled to the side, pulling your legs together and riding you of the unnecessary piece of underwear you still had on.
Not waiting for him to take control, you spread your legs, and feasted on the carnal look he had in his eyes as he looked down at your body. He didn’t waste any time before finding the perfect spot between your legs. Your whole body shivered as he leaned his head to the side, his light stubble tickling its way down the inside of your thighs. 
And following the rough feeling of the still shy beard you didn’t think he was able to grow, when his soft lips brushed against your skin, you involuntarily clenched. You bucked your hips and your legs tried, but to no avail, to close the distance between one another. You wanted more - needed more. And he noticed it.
Looking down along your body, you could only see the top of his head. And his fingers, pressing into the skin of your legs. And the tip of his nose as he proceeded to tease you into oblivion with millions of kisses, each of them nothing less than heavenly, but still, nothing compared to what you knew was coming next. The only warning he gave you as a hurried grin, and it was nowhere near enough.
It was on. Elegantly, but with traces of dominance in his touch, and with two fingers, Harry spread your pussy wide open, his tongue lewdly slipping right inside you. The contact and the buildup made you gasp. Had you not been so over the moon and distracted already, you’d have heard him snicker in response to the sound you just made. But you were too caught up. You felt him on every inch of your body, and the signals your core were sending you, were not what you wanted.
You wanted this to last. To have him go at it, lapping at your core for hours. To feel his tongue wag until your senses went numb.It might have been the dry spell that was forced upon you as the pandemic overtook your life, or the timeless, painful crush you’ve had on him for years, but you were already on the edge.
Trying hard to make the moment last, you curled your pointer finger and shoved it into your mouth, biting down hard. Your back arched dangerously as your head flew back, but it all just worked in his favour. Your pleasure was building up, and the careful, experienced movement of Harry’s tongue against your clit was only gaining momentum.
“Yeh taste like fucking heaven but I think yeh already knew tha’” he said, for a second pulling away from your core and giving you a chance to catch your breath.
All you managed was a pathetic excuse of a nod, along with a shy roll of your eyes.
“None of tha’” Harry laughed, licking his lips, “Don’t care how close yeh are, ‘m not gonna stop until yeh moan my name, love”
“Jesus christ, Harry!” you panted, shaking your head.
He responded in a similar manner, and again, with no warning whatsoever, he went back in. This short break allowed you to regain your composure, even if it was just a tiny bit. Your excitement, although still there and just as consuming, was easier to control now. You felt his touch all throughout your body, his tongue tickling all your senses.
What brought you closer into the moment was the feeling of his hands, as he grabbed your thighs and pushed your legs up onto his shoulders. For whatever reason, this felt even more intimate, and as his fingers sank into your flesh, you felt your engines start up again.
The delicate flicks of his tongue were getting more and more aggravated by the second, and now it was close to impossible to keep calm. Sweaty palms gripping tirelessly into the cushions under you, your back under constant strain, your eyes squeezed shut - he had you entirely.
And as if that wasn’t enough, he went further. Harry pushed one finger inside of you, moving his lips up to fully concentrate on your clit. His tongue prepared you, got you all ready and wanting, and then, he wrapped his lips around your bundle of nerves and sucked - gently and with a minimal amount of pressure, but god-
“Fuck, Harry-” you called out. It was more of a cry, choked back in the depths of your throat, all breathy and muffled.
“Come on, angel” Harry whispered.
As you looked down, past your heaving chest, your eyes landed conveniently on the top of his head. Complete chaos - his unruly curls tickled the inside of your thighs, as his fingers dug into your flesh. The two rings he never takes off were sure to leave proud indents on your skin.
Harry sucked at your bundle of nerves, the eager touch of his tongue awakening absolutely every need inside your being. Add the experienced pumps of his fingers and the fact that this was Harry Styles and none other, and you were done.
With each passing second you started to lose more and more of the control you had on your body. Sweating nervously out of every pore of your body, you squirmed under his weight hoping you’d make the moment last.
“‘S good, love, isn’t it?” Harry smirked for just about a second, “I can see yeh, yeh’re a mess fo’ me”
“Fuck” you whined, covering your face with your right palm as your head tilted backwards, “Shut up”
“Oh!” Harry faked surprise, “Gettin’ cocky?”
As he spoke, Harry curled his fingers inside your pussy; maybe intentionally - maybe by chance, hitting all the right spots and making you moan out loud.
“I’ll take tha’ as an apology”
You scoffed.
Harry shook his head. When you looked down at him again, you caught him licking his lips. It was obvious he waited for you to catch him doing that.
Already at the edge of your self control, you curled your fingers into his hair, motioning for him to resume his work. He followed your lead without any complaints, and when his bottom teeth grazed your clit, even if it was light as a feather you lost it.
Your mind became numb, drunk on the pleasure he provided. Your eyes rolled back as you enjoyed every second of your high. Harry kept you spiraling, continuing to lap at your core as the muscles of your legs tensed uncontrollably around his frame.
“Holy fuck-” you breathed out, voice shaky and wounded.
He made sure to milk every ounce of pleasure out of your being, leaving you a heaving mess under his stare.
Harry pushed himself up, nonchalantly wiping his chin, his eyes not allowing yours to look away.
As you gathered yourself and worked on bringing your breathing back to normal, there was only one thought going on inside your head - that it would only be fair if you reciprocate the gesture. Thinking about it was enough to make your core buzz again, but you didn’t have it in you to bring it up, and instead hoped he’d show he wished things didn’t stop either.
But he didn’t.
However, you got to kiss him again. And no matter how badly you wanted to keep the atmosphere on fire, he had other plans. 
“Did I take good care of yeh?” Harry asked as he leaned down beside you. His hand found your cheek, keeping you in place for another longing kiss, “Did I do yeh right?”
You nodded against his lips, not willing to actually word the answer.
His chuckle made it clear that the point got through. And for a second it seemed as if the night wasn’t done. None of you was willing to pull away, and allowed the minutes to go by without a care in the world, lost in each other’s arms.
“Freakin’ love yeh, angel” Harry said.
It wasn’t the first time you’d hear this coming out of his mouth, but you couldn’t help but smile thinking this time it was meant in a different manner. You answered him by cuddling deeper into his chest, and that was a moment you wouldn’t have traded for the world.
And you fell asleep like that. No matter how big and luxurious your couch was, you still spent the night glued to one another. Harry felt every calm breath of yours on his skin and everytime he moved a bit to adjust his position, his hold tightened around you to make sure he wasn’t pushing you away.
After what was probably the best sleep you’d gotten in the whole year of 2020, morning came around. Actually it was lunch time, if we’re being generous. The sun was high up, proudly making its way into your living room, past the curtains to forgot to draw the other night.
When you awoke, Harry wasn’t there anymore. However, panic didn’t have the time to settle in as you heard movement coming from the kitchen, and the strong smell of coffee reached your nose in no time.
You got up from the couch, with herds of butterflies in your stomach. Harry’s words from last night still echoed in your head, and even now, with no alcohol in your system, they managed to bring goosebumps all over your skin.
“When did you get up?”
That was how you made your presence known.
Harry turned around with a smile on his face. He had a bag of avocados tucked under his arm, as he typed away on his phone. His undone pants were hanging onto his thighs for dear life, and the only other piece of fabric on his body was a thin, brown hair tie around his wrist. There were a few purple marks along his collar bones and his hair looked rougher than usual, things which deep down, shook you up a bit.
 “Wanted to take yeh out fo’ breakfast, but I gotta leave in like an hour, so I figured this should do”
“Yeah, yeah sure” you agreed, “It’s perfect”
“Would’ve done mo’, but Y/n, yeh have no food in this house”
You laughed, walking over to slump down into one of the chairs, “Didn’t get a chance to get any perishables”
“You got some” Harry chuckled, “You got weeks’ worth of everything you need to make guacamole and pancakes”
“I have no idea how that happened, those will spoil” you shook your head, “You can take some of them actually”
“Or I could just come over”
“Even better”
The food was ready in no time. Harry had everything done and set while you washed up a bit, and after that, you both sat down to eat. Minimal and light, but still, there was a weight in the pit of your stomach.
“About last night-” Harry began to say, but you tried to stop him.
“You don’t have to-”
“We kinda do, love” he smiled, “I need to apologise, angel”
You squinted your eyes, “For?”
“I don’t really have t’ apologise fo’ what I said because I meant every word” Harry slowly said, as if he has a hard time putting his thoughts together, “I jus’ wish I hadn’t said it like tha’ though”
“Like what?” you questioned, a bit lost.
“Like I had the right to say that kind of crap” he laughed. It was nervous laughter, like he was afraid of what was coming next, “I do fucking love yeh, but I shouldn’t have assumed you wanted to hear that”
“What are you talking about, I don’t understand” you groaned, growing a bit tired of the impatience he brought upon you.
“You’re my best friend, ok?” he sighed, “That’s all we are, Y/n, and that was not supposed to happen”
The food got lodged in your throat, and you felt like if you didn’t stand up, you’d no longer be able to breathe. “It was your idea” you scoffed.
Harry’s eyes followed your frame, but he remained seated, “I know”
“So what changed? If anything even changed. I don’t understand what the problem is. You regret we did what we did-”
“I don’t regret anything” Harry butted it.
“You said it was not supposed to happen!” you exclaimed, rolling your eyes as you walked over to the sink, just to make yourself useful and to stop just standing in front of him.
“The things I said to you-” he said sternly, pushing his chair back and throwing his hands into the air, “I shouldn’t have said those, ok? It doesn’t matter who meant what, I told you things that-”
“What did you tell me that’s bothering you so much?” you almost yelled, annoyance dripping out of your pores. You walked over to him, and he closed the distance by standing up.
“I-” Harry stuttered, playing with his hair to buy himself some more time. “All the-”
“What?” you pushed, “That you like everything about me? That’s what you regret saying? And what else?”
“God” he groaned, “I don’t regret saying tha’, it’s just tha’ it wasn’t my place to say it”
You fell silent.
“If I were you... I’d want to hear those things from someone that is more than just a friend to me” he confessed.
“And you can’t be that to me? More than a friend?”
After a few seconds of painful silence, realization hit him, “Y/n…”
He did reach out. He took a step towards you but you stepped back. The remorse in his tone was too painful to ignore. So you moved away from him and slowly made your way out of the kitchen.
“Y/n!” Harry called, following you.
“Just go”
“Please...”
“Please what?” you shook your head, but he didn’t have the words you needed to hear.
“I’m sorry”
“It’s fucking fine” you sighed, walking backwards towards your room, “Just show yourself out”

In the end, we can only save ourselves
harry and y/n are in an open relationship
i’ve been wanting to write this concept for a while cuz i love reading about it so hope you enjoy :)
warning: angst ofc what else do you expect from me 😅
i’m def writing a part two so stay tuned for that :))))
—————
The fresh red marks littered his neck, they showed someone else had claimed him for themself, had marked her husband with their lips. It was a disgusting thought, and Y/N had to turn away before she quite literally threw up.
“Want some coffee?” Y/N shook her head.
“I’m fine.” He didn’t notice anything, fuck, when did he ever? Y/N was getting sick of it, his obliviousness to her tense and off behavior. Y/N thought communication was key, but sometimes she feels afraid of the future, of what could happen if she voices her feelings and thoughts, of saying she wants to end their open relationship. He’d leave her. She knew it.
“Mmkay.” He turned the coffee maker on, and the only sound in the room was the noise it made. Neither Harry nor Y/N were speaking.
She had to leave because she kept taking looks at him, at his neck. Did he even know what that made her feel? Any semblance of feeling? Did he have any respect for her anymore? It would be respectful to not showcase the work of another on his body, open for her to see, in their own fucking home. It was ridiculous, and suddenly the hurt was replaced with anger.
“Have fun last night?” Y/N’s voice was ice cold, something no one could miss, especially not Harry. He glanced up at her over his phone.
“Yeah, ‘t was fun.” He nodded, eyes moving back down to his phone. Great, now he couldn’t even look at her while they were having a conversation.
“I could see. Quite literally.” Harry looked at her in confusion, while Y/N rolled her eyes at his obliviousness.
“All over your fucking neck, Harry. At least hide that shit next time, will you?” Y/N grabbed her laptop from the island table, backing up her chair, making it squeak against the wooden floor.
“Shit, ‘m sorry, Y/N. I didn’t know.” Y/N scoffed at his guilty tone while she was exiting the kitchen. Y/N didn’t know how much longer she could put up with this. She never wanted this fucking open relationship in the first place. All she wanted was to make him happy, and now she’s so disappointed in herself for lowering herself in that way for a man. Even Harry wasn’t worth it, the man she had loved with her whole entire being and entire soul. Because he’s not who he used to be, and it makes her feel more empty than anything else.
“Be a little more considerate next time, yeah?” She called back over her shoulder, walking to their backyard to get some sun and do some work.
She looked behind to see if Harry was following and couldn’t help but feel a little hurt when he didn’t. The old him would have followed her around like a puppy to see her smile and be happy with him again. This was another example of how much their relationship had changed, for the worse.
Y/N opened her laptop and started looking over a manuscript for her job. It had been an hour or so when she got an incoming Facetime call from her friend back home.
See, Y/N had basically uprooted her life for Harry. She had a good job back home, with her family and friends surrounding her, but she let herself get windswept by Harry and his charm and charisma. He had done everything to sweep her off her feet, even though she didn’t want to be with him in the first place.
He succeeded, eventually, hence why she was in London in their home, where he wanted to settle down, not her. London was cloudy and gray, she wanted the bright sun and blue sky. But she had to follow him, because what the star wants, the star gets.
Don’t get her wrong, Harry and Y/N were so happy during their one and a half year of dating and three years of marriage. They were perfectly happy, she had been enough for him during this time, until six months ago he started becoming distant, wouldn’t come home until late at night and would text her to not wait up for him, he didn’t even know if he would be coming home at all, and that irritated her yet also hurt, because he was growing distant and whenever she tried to initiate conversation about it, he would deflect.
It wasn’t until one evening he broke, started saying how he felt trapped.
“I jus’- we’re good, Y/N, so good. But don’t you think tha’s just not enough? I- I saw someone at the club tonight. I wanted to get her number, I wanted to approach her, and almost did when Mitch stopped me, pulled me back, said I had a lovely wife waiting at home for me.” Y/N hadn’t believed her ears. Her initial thought was- ‘he could go to fucking hell’, but she didn’t want to lose him, she didn’t. Because she loved him. So.. she brought it up. When she shouldn’t have. She should have taken it back as soon as she said it, but she can’t turn back time.
“You wanted to fuck her? That’s what you want to do? Throw a whole 4 year relationship away because you wanted to fuck a pretty girl? Go ahead, Harry. Do what you want.” Harry had approached her, looking at her warily.
“You’re not saying, you want to end us?” Y/N heard fear in his words. He was scared of the end of them, but it wasn’t enough. But in the heat of the moment she shook her head, when she should have said yes.
“No. No.. I.. we can try an... open relationship?” Y/N forced the words out of her mouth, wincing slightly when she saw the bright look on his face. And this is where she was proud of herself for a moment, because she had made him happy again.
“Really? Are you sure?” Y/N nodded, again, forcefully.
“Yeah, sure.” She nodded her head, fake smiling when Harry approached her and granted kisses all over her face, before pulling her into a deep one and showing her how happy she made him with lots of loving through the whole night.
It stopped him being distant for a bit. He would tell her where he was going and with who. She’d tell him to have fun and to be safe, wear protection. He said of course he would. They’d meet for a quick peck, then he was out for the night.
He thought she had nights where she went out too, but she didn’t. And she wasn’t about to tell him that. She had pride, she had suggested it, now she had to deal with the consequences. She couldn’t bring herself to sleep with another person, it was disgusting. All she could have thought about was Harry, and she had months to think about this, about how someone you’re married to would be okay sleeping with another person... it wasn’t okay at all, not for her. She always thought if her significant other wanted to do that, she’d end the relationship, because if she wasn’t enough for him, what was the point of being married?
She had given Harry the benefit of the doubt for a few months, wanted to see if he would end the open relationship himself, but no. He became more bold, this wasn’t the first time he came home with hickeys all over his body. But she had been quiet then, she wouldn’t be anymore.
Y/N quickly answered Anna’s call, greeted by the brunette beauty on her screen.
The excitement on Anna’s face made Y/N miss her more.. made her all the more homesick. She wanted to see this face in person, and it had been a year since she had.
“Y/N!!” Anna screamed, excitedly. Y/N grinned, happy to see her best friend again.
“Anna! I miss you!” She squealed, sitting up a bit to set the laptop on her lap.
“How’ve you been, baby cakes? Still kicking ass at work?”
“I’ve been good... just living life. Of course I have been! Getting promoted soon, just know it.” Y/N smiled, because she genuinely loved her job. She worked at a publishing house and read over new stories, and she loved it because it pulled her into another universe, one where she didn’t think about Harry and reality.
“Still madly in love with your hot hubby?” Anna giggled, clearly teasing, but usually when Y/N would laugh bubbly along with her, she sat silent.
“Y/N? Everything alright?” Anna frowned.
“Umm.. yeah.. just-“ Y/N tried to stop it, she tried, really she did. But the first tear slipped past her defenses then another and then more.
“I don’t know what to do, Anna, I don’t.” Y/N sobbed into her hands, breaking down once Anna asked that question. Everything she had been holding in, was being let out.
“What’s wrong, honey? What happened?” Anna said gently, coaxing Y/N to open up and tell her what happened.
“Don’t- don’t judge, okay? I know I said I’d never let this happen, but, but I dunno. I don’t know.”
“Let it out, Y/N.”
“Harry and I.. are in an open relationship.” Y/N looked up at Anna’s concerned face, nodding for her to continue.
“I’m not judging, baby cakes, do you mind telling me a bit of context? How did you get into the situation, huh?” Anna remembered a conversation they had about their future partners. The topic was cheating and Y/N had said if her partner ever slept with another, it was over. She was a little possessive over her boyfriends, not overtly so, but enough to be so jealous if they were to do anything with someone in front of her or flirt and she didn’t think she could ever handle them sleeping with someone else, and Y/N was so in love with Harry, everyone could see it, so how did she get herself in that situation?
“Uh-“ Y/N sniffed, wiping some tears from her face with her hoodie sleeve. “He waa distant and he said he wanted to hookup with someone one night so I just suggested it. He wanted to do it and it made him happy so I agreed too. I haven’t slept with anyone, I can’t, Anna. I don’t know how he does it.”
“Oh, honey.. I think it’s time you came back to us. Take a break from him and gloomy London. Think things over back home.” Y/N knew she needed to get away, and Anna’s words reinforced that thought.
“Alright.. umm.. i’ll book a flight right now.” Anna gave Y/N a sympathetic smile.
The topic switched to Anna’s life and questions about what’s happening back home, all while Y/N booked a flight back to her local airport for two days from now.
It was a one way ticket, she didn’t know when she would be back. Or if she would be back.
The confirmation email sent to her phone and it pinged to let her know it was there.
“Got it! I can’t wait to surprise my mom.”
“So excited for you to get here, baby cakes. Ugh-“ Y/N could hear kids yelling in the background. “gotta go, Ben just spilled juice all over Bran.” Anna rolled her eyes, blowing her best friend a kiss goodbye and then ending the call.
Y/N sat back against the lawn chair, staring at the pool and pretty garden and trees in her backyard.
A warm hand on her shoulder brought her out of her thoughts, making her jump slightly.
“Harry! You scared me!”
“You alright, bubba?” His tone was serious and concerned, looking down at her with his gently green eyes that forced her to say what she’s been wanting to say for a while, but she held herself back.
“‘course, do I not look alright, Harry?”
“You’ve just been a little, I dunno, tense.. recently.” He chose his words carefully, not wanting to upset his bubba.
“Tense?” Y/N let out a short laugh, staring back out at the blue pool water:
“Talk to me, darling, c’mon.” He stroked her arm, coming around to stand in front of her before dropping low, now she was looking down at him.
“I’m not tense, Harry. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You were crying, Y/N. I can see the tears stains and red eyes. Why were you crying?” A dreadful feeling took over him.
“Why am I crying? Why am I crying? It’s because of you, Harry! I’m crying cause of you! You’re not worth my tears, not anymore. Not when I don’t even know who you are anymore.” Her tone became more soft at the end, a broken whisper at the realization.
“Darling..” He cupped her face, a frown marring his features. “What did I do, hm? This about the hickeys? It won’t happen again, bubba.” His tone was gentle for her.
“It’s more than that. It’s about the whole thing. I can’t keep doing this.. this open relationship anymore, Harry. It’s hurting me, it’s been hurting me. You never noticed, that’s the thing Harry.” Harry gulped, the words slicing a knife through him.
“I thought you were okay with it, Y/N? You brought it up in the first place.”
“Because you would have cheated on me if I didn’t. At least with this I know you’re out with others. Not behind my back.”
“You think that lowly of me, pet? That I would cheat on you? Never, darling, never.”
“You yourself said you wanted to hookup with that woman from the club a few months ago, remember that, Harry? If I’m not enough for you anymore, just tell me. Because I will end this marriage if you don’t.”
“What? Y/N! You’re everything I ever need, baby. Well end this open relationship, you’re the only one for me. I promise.” Y/N shook her head, because the respect for herself was building, and this was step one to recovery. At this point, she knew she had to do this, to save herself from the inner turmoil, the disrespect she had granted on herself for letting this happen. It’s taken a toll on her mental health, and she had to this.
“No, Harry. What we’re ending is our marriage. If I was ever enough for you, you wouldn’t have wanted to be with anyone besides me. I’m leaving in two days. Leave me alone until then.” With that, she pushed Harry away from his kneeling position, and walked back into their house. It hurt to say the words, it hurt to make what she was dreading a reality. Harry stared brokenly at her, not knowing what to do to fix this, fix them, fix her.

jealousy
Tumblr media
a/n: hello! this is a little one shot that’s apart of my dad!harry universe! you dont have to read the original one to understand this one shot but if you’d like to, ill link it here . i hope everyone enjoys! please reblog and leave feedback if you do<33
summary: y/n and harry have another child, and their first born is a little skeptical on the idea of being a big sister.
warnings: none
word count: ~1.7k
my ko-fi! thank you :)
After hours of excruciating contractions, a backache like nothing you’ve ever felt in your life, and the horrid discomfort that came with pushing, you forgot all about your displeasure when Harry grabbed your hand, eyes sparkling, and said: “He’s beautiful, Y/N. Oliver’s here.”
When you found out you were having a baby boy, you were ecstatic. You and Harry already had a daughter, a fiery six-year-old named Allison, or Ally, as she preferred, and wanted to try for a boy. Girls run on both sides of your family, so you were pleasantly surprised when you found out you were expecting a baby boy. However, your daughter was not so happy about this news.
At first, you and Harry thought that the farther along you got in your pregnancy, the more your daughter would warm up to the idea of being a big sister. Unfortunately, the opposite happened. She became withdrawn and had outbursts that you would describe as “unpredictable and unprovoked.” You tried using your own experience as an older sibling to help your daughter know what to expect. You let her pick the color for the nursery. Harry got a t-shirt made that said, “Best big sister ever!” but she never wanted to wear it. Despite your greatest efforts, nothing changed your daughter’s attitude. She was much like you in that aspect— once she had an opinion on something, it was difficult to get her to see things from a different perspective. Still, you were looking forward to your eldest meeting the newest addition to the family.
After a few hours of skin to skin, feeding, and napping (because everyone knows you sleep when the baby sleeps), Harry breaks the silence. “Told my mum she can come over with Ally and Gem, now. Are yeh okay with visitors?” His voice is scratchy from not speaking for so long, and he’s whispering in an effort to not wake up your son.
“That’s fine,” you respond, rubbing sleep out of your eyes. “Just exhausted. Maybe a short visit?” Harry nods, telling you he already suggested they don’t stay for long. You look over at your son, starting to feel a little anxious. Ally had six months to adjust to the idea of having a sibling, and she was upset about it right up until the very end. When you went into labor, as Harry frantically got the car packed, she stood off to the side and said nothing. When Harry’s mom arrived as you were getting set to leave, the two of you told your daughter to be good, gave her hugs and kisses, and reminded her how loved she was. Still, Ally said nothing. When Anne waved as Harry backed the car out of the driveway, Ally had a look on her face that she didn’t often wear— a look that could best be described as pure hurt.
“What’s on your mind?” While you were lost in your thoughts, Harry moved from the chair near the window to the one next to your bed.
“I’m just worried about how Ally’s gonna react to him,” you gesture toward your son, who was still fast asleep in his bassinet. “Did you see how she looked at us when we left? Hardly said a word to either one of us.”
Harry hums thoughtfully, thinking back on the earlier day's events. “Guess you’re right, now that ‘m thinkin’ about it. She didn’t seem excited at all, did she?”
You shake your head, tears starting to form in your eyes. Harry’s expression softens, and he reaches to gently cup your face. “Hey, don’ gotta cry, lovie. Just wait ‘til she sees him. Promise she’ll fall in love jus’ like we did, trust me.” He wipes a stray tear from your cheek and gives you a reassuring smile.
“You’re right,” you tell him, feeling silly for getting so emotional so quickly. “I know it’s a big adjustment. My mom told me I was the same way when my little sister was born.” Harry nods, retracting his hand from your face and reaching to grab a tissue from the table beside your bed.
“See? Who woulda thought yeh didn’t like your sister when she was born? The two of yeh are inseparable at this point, know she’d be right here beside you if she wasn’t away at university.”
You’re about to respond when a gentle knock at the door interrupts your conversation. Harry’s eyes light up as he turns to see his mother, Gemma, and your baby girl all walk into the room. Gemma is holding a big bouquet of flowers, Anne has a bunch of balloons with “It’s a boy!” written in curly script, and Ally is clutching onto her grandmother’s hand, a stuffed bear that you don’t recognize as being hers in tow.
“C’mere and give Daddy a hug,” Harry immediately stands up and goes to pick up your daughter, twirling her around. “Missed yeh so much, love bug. Were you good for grandma and auntie Gem?” Harry’s voice is still quiet, as Oliver was still sleeping, and no one wanted to deal with a fussy baby at the moment.
“Yes, daddy.” Ally answers quietly and shortly, looking down at the floor. Harry notices this and sets her down, kneeling to make eye contact with her.
“What’s wrong, Ally? Mumma and Daddy have noticed that yeh haven’t been yourself lately. Something botherin’ you?” Harry questions, already knowing why she was so upset but wanting to give her a chance to freely express how she was feeling.
“S’just…” she says, tugging on her shirt and stretching it out, a bad nervous habit she developed. “I don’ think I want a brother, Daddy. Auntie Gem said it would be fun, but I jus’ don’t think so.” Your daughter has a look of genuine worry on her face. At this point, Gemma and Anne have made their way over to you, quietly offering congratulations and gushing over Oliver.
“What makes yeh think it won’t be fun, bug? What are some things you’re worried about?” Harry takes one of her little hands in his, rubbing gentle circles on her thumb. Ally harshly rubs at her eyes, and you know this means she’s about to start crying.
“Jus’ think you and Mumma won’t love me anymore… because you’ll be too busy playing with him,” She looks over in her brother’s direction, not even wanting to say his name. “I bet he’ll get more cuddles than me.”
Your heart breaks at the fact that your daughter thinks you and Harry don’t have enough love in your heart for her and her baby brother. “Ally, come over here and lie next to Mumma,” you call out quietly. Harry picks her up and brings her over to you, laying her on your bed cautiously to make sure she doesn’t accidentally get tangled in any of your IV’s.
“Baby, there’s nothing and no one on this planet that could make me and Daddy love you any less. We have enough love in our hearts for you and Oliver. Do you understand?” You ask. She doesn’t say anything.
“D’ya wanna hold him?” Harry offers, looking at his mom and sister who have hopeful looks in their eyes. They know how difficult it’s been for Ally to accept a new sibling, as Anne and Gemma have both reassured you countless times when you’ve vented to them about it.
“I guess,” she mumbles, looking at her hands. Harry tries a different approach.
“I see yeh had a new bear in your hand when yeh walked in. Is that for your brother?” Ally looks at the bear that she had discarded on the chair and nods slowly.
“Auntie Gem got Mumma flowers, an’ grandma got balloons. So I wanted to get something too,” she tells him, looking between yours and Harry’s faces. He smiles widely at this and reaches to grab the bear.
“That’s so thoughtful of yeh, bug. See? You’re a natural big sister! Did Auntie Gem teach you some things when I wasn’t around?” Ally chuckles at this, playing with the stuffed animal’s legs. “Do yeh wanna hold him and give him the bear, Ally?”
She quickly nods, a noticeable shift in her mood. Harry tries to hide his excitement as he walks over to Oliver’s bassinet, who was now starting to wake up. He coos when Harry picks him up, and you’re relieved when he doesn’t burst into tears like he has been for the past few hours.
“Hold your arms like this,” you demonstrate for your daughter, situating her body next to you so she could hold her brother without hurting him. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice Gemma pull out her phone and start recording.
“Ready for him?” Harry questions. Ally nods and Harry slowly places her brother in her arms. “Make sure yeh hold the back of his head, bug. Can’t let it dangle.” You help her readjust her hand placement to offer more support to Oliver’s head. Ally looks up, a dimpled smile on her face.
“He’s so little!” She exclaims, staring back down at him in awe. You and Harry look at each other, tears filling your eyes for what felt like the thousandth time that day.
“He is, isn’t he?” You ask, quickly wiping under your eyes. Anne places her hand on your shoulder, looking down at her grandson with a look of pure adoration in her eyes.
“He’s beautiful,” she gushes, sounding slightly choked up. “He’s got eyes just like yours, Ally.” You see her smile at this, but she doesn’t look up, not wanting to stop staring at her new brother. She reaches carefully with the hand, not supporting her brother’s head to grab the stuffed bear she picked out for him, setting it next to him.
“This is for you, Olly,” she says, placing the bear beside him. “You can sleep with him every night!”
Harry glances at you again, a look of relief on his face. “Olly, is it, bug? He has a nickname just like yours,” he tells her, reaching over you to smooth her hair. “Ally and Olly. I like tha’.” Your heart is full, and your family is complete.
At least, for now.

Brothers’ + Diavolo’s reaction to their s/o on their period
Genre: fluff Warnings: none A/N: I made it to where demons/angels don’t have periods
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucifer:
he walked into your shared bedroom to see you buried under your blankets
eating candy 
and crying over whatever movie you were watching on your phone 
instantly, he’s worried, confused, and curious 
he slowly walks over to you and quietly gets your attention, not wanting to spook you 
you look up from your phone to stare up at him with watery eyes 
“What’s wrong, love?” he says softly, sitting on the bed by your legs
“I’m not feeling well,” you reply calmly, wiping the tears from your eyes
he frowns at this 
“Why? What’s wrong? Did one of the idiots do something t-”
“No, no. I’m just on my period,” you explain shortly
there’s a long pause after that 
Lucifer, for some reason, never expected this to happen
I mean, demons don’t have periods
even angels don’t have them 
guess he should’ve known better
“You’re what?” is his brilliant response 
you giggle and explain to him what’s going on, reassuring him you’ll be fine 
he doesn’t hesitate to get what you need when you need it though 
Mammon:
he doesn’t know what to do 
he doesn’t even know what a period is 
and you’re bleeding???
isn’t that serious????
humans can’t lose this much blood, right?????
but you seem completely chill 
you’re just laying on your bed in some comfy clothes, eating junk food, and watching tv
how are you so calm??
despite his worries that you’ll literally die, he trusts your judgment and doesn’t rush you to a hospital 
he constantly asks what you need though and, of course, you use this to your advantage 
you make him bring you drinks, snacks, blankets, and whatever else you could possibly want 
after making him your slave for fifteen minutes, you finally relent and tell him you just want cuddles 
he happily obliges to that one 
he all but jumps on your bed, curling up with you to watch whatever the heck you’re watching 
Levi:
he once played a game where he was a human doctor 
let’s just say he found out some things that he never thought he’d know 
so, when he finds out you’re on your period, he’s only a little shocked 
that game wasn’t just fabricating things up out of the wazoo??
humans literally bleed out of their vaginas???
now he knows just how cruel God is 
he has to do a little research before doing anything 
he looks up everything there is to know about the human period 
he learned 1. they bleed a lot from anywhere from 2-7 days 2. they can have cramps and other physical pain 3. humans get cravings during this time 4. you won’t die 
he had to search a lot to get that last one
apparently, it’s not a very popular search 
after getting all his information, he finally goes to you 
he helps you with whatever you need
anything from getting you a drink to giving you a massage 
during the time of your period, he’ll randomly blurt little ‘fun’ facts about the human period 
“Did you know that menstruating makes you hornier?” 
he got wacked for that one 
Satan:
of course this demon already knows all about it 
with the number of books he reads?
please, he probably knows more than you do 
as soon as he finds out, he just leaves without a word
you felt like crying, seeing as how you thought he was disgusted by you 
before you could get far in crying, he’s suddenly back with a bunch of stuff 
extra blankets, a heating pad, snacks, candy, medicine, warm and cool drinks, a book he recommended you to read, and a whole bunch of other stuff 
you’re in awe, to say the least 
your heart probably grew three sizes 
he cuddles you as he gently rubs your abdomen over the heating pad 
you ask him how he knows so much
because you were having ‘girl’ time with Asmo once and when you mentioned your period, he had no idea what you were talking about 
he only chuckles and explains he’s not as dense as his brothers 
he tells you about all the human books he has in his room and the library 
he knows plenty about the human body 
“How do you think I’m so good at pleasing you and making you orgasm so hard that you’re literally seeing stars?” 
you let out a squeak as you hit him, a dark blush coming to your face 
Asmo:
he, just like his other brothers (besides Satan), had no idea what you were talking about 
he wanted to have ‘girl’ time when you said you didn’t feel like it 
he was thoroughly confused 
you always feel like it
what’s changed?
he offers to paint your nails while you tell him what’s wrong 
you agree and lean back against your pillows once you sit up 
you instantly change your mind when you smell the strong scent of the nail polish 
you ask him to put it away, closing your eyes for a moment 
he pouts but does as he’s told 
he then offers to brush and braid your hair instead 
that you instantly agreed with 
as he plays with your hair, you feel your headache subside a bit 
you explain to him what’s wrong and that what you’re going through is normal
and that you’ll be right as rain in a couple of days 
he coos at you, wrapping his arms around you 
“Why didn’t you say so, love bug? What can I do?” 
after helping you to the best of his ability, he cuddles you and plays with your hair until you fall asleep
while you're asleep, he does some research 
apparently, sex can help ease period-related symptoms, such as cramps 
once you're awake, he tells you this new information 
you're surprised that he's not disgusted and actually wants to try it 
"Honey, I'm the avatar of lust. I see this as free lubrication," he replies with a smirk before getting to work 
Beel:
just like pretty much everyone else, he’s lost 
that doesn’t stop him though 
he’s swift to make you all your favorite foods and more 
while he secretly makes your surprise, he brings you some snacks and candy 
he also gives you a bottle of water and tells you to drink it all by the time he gets back
he’s quick to make all the food, it taking everything in him to not take bites 
when he brings you tray after tray of food, you assure him that you can split it with him 
he feeds you and smiles when he sees that you’re feeling better
once you confirm that you’re full, he’s quick to finish everything off for you 
after that, he cuddles you and makes sure that you’re as snug as a bug 
he’s ready to get up if you need anything, running from your bedroom to whatever place held what you wanted 
you quickly learn to keep your mouth shut 
you just so happened to mention wanting cotton candy, a human world only delicacy, and he rushed off
he found Lucifer, made him take him to the human world, and tracked down one of those big buckets of cotton candy 
when he returns, you thank him but make sure to also scold him 
“Baby, I didn’t need this. I ju-”
“But you’re hurting. I want to make you feel better,” he says softly while not looking at you 
he looks like a kid who’s getting scolded for being up past their bedtime 
and how can you stay mad at that?
you reassure him it’s fine and cuddle back into him, starting to eat the cloud-like dessert
and, of course, you shared with him
Belphie:
he woke up from a nap with you to see red on the bed
just like anyone else who sees a human bleeding this much, he starts panicking 
he wakes you up and basically shouts in your face that you’re dying and that you have to go to the hospital 
you’re very confused, to say the least 
he starts to check for a wound while yelling at someone to get the car ready or call an ambulance 
he eventually finds the source of your wound 
there’s a lot of blood in your underwear 
he thinks that’s an odd place to stab someone or whatever but he brushes it off in an instant 
he’s quick to ask how you didn’t notice the pain in your vagina of all places 
that’s when things click for you 
you’re beyond embarrassed
you shoo him out of the bed with hot cheeks, mumbling things to yourself as you take everything off the bed
he’s flabbergasted 
“What are you doing? You’re dying and you want to do laundry?” he shouts 
you roll your eyes, throwing the, basically ruined, heap of blankets and sheets to a corner of the room
“I’m not dying. Calm down,” you reassure, making your way to the bathroom to clean up 
he’s so worried that he almost follows you in 
after locking him out, he let’s everyone know that it was a false alarm while you clean up
you come out and throw your ruined underwear and pajama bottoms on top of the heap
you then sit him down and explain what’s going on 
he’s embarrassed for having such a dramatic reaction to something that’s, apparently, very normal 
you tell him not to be embarrassed because it’s not his fault that he didn’t know 
you then say that if anyone should be embarrassed, it’s you 
he cups your face and stares into your eyes, a serious look on his face 
“Don’t ever apologize for something like that. You had no control over the situation. I’m not mad or disgusted. It’s perfectly natural. So, don’t worry your pretty little head,” he reassures softly before giving you a kiss 
after that, he takes over with cleaning up 
after getting news sheets and whatnot onto the bed, he bundles you up in it and gets whatever you want to make you feel better 
Diavolo:
he, surprisingly, already knows about human periods
when he sees your shock, he chuckles for a moment before explaining 
“Of course I know about periods, dear. I had to learn a lot about humans for this program. Now, c’mere. What do you need?” 
after getting over your shock, you explain that you’re cramping and want a heating pad, if possible 
he quickly reassures you that he’ll get his hands on one and to go lay down 
when he returns to you, he has more than a heating pad with him 
he’s brought snacks, medicine, movies, blankets, and new fuzzy pajamas 
you try to tell him that you’re afraid to ruin the pajama bottoms but he reassures you that if you ‘ruin’ them, he’ll get you ten more 
after coaxing you into the comfy clothes, he rolls you up in blankets and tucks you into bed by his side 
he feeds you whatever you want to eat and gives you medicine for cramps, headaches, and whatever else is hurting  
after taking said medicine, you start to get a little drowsy 
you last about halfway through Mulan before you pass out 
he curls up next to you and decides to take a nap himself once he knows you’re okay 
he makes sure to check on you when you wake up, offering to draw up a bath for you
he then surprises you by joining you in the bath 
it’s the most relaxed and pain-free you’ve ever felt while on your period 
MASTERLIST 
More with Obey Me!

Leo Valdez relationship and intimacy headcanons
As with all steamy/nsfw works, the characters are aged up to 18+/college era
so
let’s get started ‘,:)
(1.2k, get ready)
When you’re making out he’s a top
But when things get heavier
Bottom as hell
Like he’ll instigate
He’ll dance with you and playfully grind a little
He’ll kiss you and bite your ear and whisper things in spanish that shouldn’t be translated
But as soon as you reciprocate
Oh
Bottom mode: fucking on
[plankton voice] I didn’t expect to get this far
Later on in the relationship he might get a little more confident and top you on occasion
Or more if you encourage it
But if he could have one image for the rest of his life 
It would absolutely be you hovering over him about to go to town
Dies in the best possible way if you push him onto the bed/couch/wherever
Gets very excited when you straddle him
Please please straddle him
His hips will automatically go up a little before you even do anything
Really loves when you straddle him 
Loves holding your waist and loves squeezing your butt and loves touching your hair
Genuinely loves all the parts of you
Ass? Yes. Tiddies/pecs? Yes. Legs? Yes.
Big fan of making out
B i g fan of grinding
You could absolutely finish him by grinding
I’m not saying it hasn’t happened before
Like if you grind against him at all even a little
Shabam
Putty in your hands
If you do that little swirly thing with your hips that he loves he’ll moan so loudly
Speaking of which
He is so vocal
S o vocal
Half to break the tension half cause he can’t help it
Makes the absolute nicest noises
Like he takes in a sharp breath and then moans it out
It’s n i c e
A little part of you wants to bite his neck and record the noise as his ring tone in your phone
L o v e s  when you grab him by the collar
If he’s wearing a tie grab him by the tie
Lowkey started wearing a tie more often jus so you’d do this
Generally loves being in a very close proximity to you
He’s the type to be at least a little horny all the time 
His love manifests as horniness a lot
I’m talking any time any place
Especially if it’s inconvenient
Grocery store, clothes shopping, bumping into an old friend
Wake you up in the middle of the night to see if you’re feeling frisky kinda shit
And how could you not be with this boy
The morning after he’ll wake you up with neck kisses
And in his gravely ass morning voice 
“So… you up for round… what round are we up to?”
Goes feral when you lift up his shirt/hoodie by running your hands up his abs
Member 2/2 of the growl/purr thing club
He’ll say something dirty in spanish and punctuate it with some kind of purr snarl and maybe a well placed bite
It’s extremely effective
Don’t let him know that though
Otherwise he’ll do it all the time and have too much power
Speaking of power
Call him papi and he bursts into flame
“Whatever you say, papi…”
!!!!!!
He’ll genuinely freeze in shock
Red as a firetruck
But you can only do it like once a year or he’ll actually die
It’s that powerful
Really likes lacy underwear
If u wear bras and you happen to wear like 
An unlined lace bra
Esp if it’s like burgundy or red
Obvs
Or if you genuinely want to end him then wear matching bra and panty sets
The top of his head unfolds like a cartoon and animated rockets and fireworks spray out  
Another fun thing you can do to ruin him:
Trace your fingers over the lines of his muscles 
Especially his v line
Makes him shiver every fucking time
If you surprise him by pushing him onto the couch, straddle him and grind until he’s bucking his hips and moaning
Dw it doesn’t take long
He will literally genuinely unironically propose marriage if you do that
The type of person to cancel plans if you take off your shirt
Have you seen those tiktok videos where people surprise their s/os by walking out naked
The first one in this compilation is all I have to say about that
H i c k i e s
This man and his hickies,, eye-
He fucking LOVES giving you hickies
Will not object in any way shape or form if you give him a few on his chest and neck
Will “accidentally” let them show without an ounce of shame
r/oopsdidntmeanto
Bite his collar bones really gently
Just trust me his reaction is worth it
Very very worth it
Squeeze his thighs from time to time
It’s a nice surprise for all parties
He is a total hoe for egirls 
You cannot convince me otherwise
Like if you put on any kind of egirl outfit/makeup he loses his shit
Do an ahegao face as a joke 
He actually stumbles backward and falls onto the nearest surface
And then bursts into flame
He just stares at you and you know you’re in for a long night/afternoon/morning
“H-how… how do I make you do that again??”
If you combine the face with the egirl look just uuuh
Time it at the beginning of a vacation or three day weekend
Cause neither of you will be doing anything for a while
Except each other
An “every surface in the house” kinda guy
Literally genuinely such a good lover
Like he’s so focused on you 
Gets serotonin just from you being around
Much less you trailing your hands under the waistband of his underwear
Oh do that too
Like you unbutton his pants and start to tug them down
But kinda play with the band and material of his underwear before you finish undressing him
Drives him fucking wild
m u t u a l  g r o p i n g
Very into foreplay/fun teasing
But won’t die without it
It’s like,, you get a cake and it’s amazing
And the more frosting decorations and sprinkles you add it gets even better
You’re just so excited you have dessert 
Idek if that makes sense but you probs get what i mean
He has a unique brand of aftercare
Ig it’s like,,, more focused on bonding than one person taking care of the other
Good luck not cuddling with this man
Let him sleep with his face in your chest
We all know he’s a stomach sleeper
Esp if you have boobs
If he could purr he absolutely would
If you try to wham bam thank you maam without cuddling after like 
He’ll survive
But when he finally gets you to cuddle he will absolutely make up for that lost time
His favorite thing ever is when he gets to see you just like,,, being organically yourself
Like watching you take off your makeup
Absolutely the type to watch you get dressed the morning after
Like you don’t even really realize he’s awake 
But you get that feeling like eyes are on you yk
You turn around and see him looking at you all sleepy and lovey
“...What?”
“Nothing…”
So you keep getting dressed
But the look doesn’t fade 
And you know it’s not nothing
The way he’s looking at you now, you know you’re the something
He makes it feel really nice to be the something 
Cause like you view yourself as his something
But he deadass sees you as his everything
And he will do everything he can to make you feel euphoric in as many aspects of your life as possible

One Weary Human
Tumblr media
The Company x Reader
All of the company is drunk. The twist? None of them act the way you’d expect, like at all. Shy Bilbo is all flirty, chill Bofur keeps wanting to start bar fights, Kili/Fili try to be philosophical, Dwalin is the “You’re my best friend. I just love you so much, man,” type of guy, and Thorin is actually FUN and FUNNY. The reader is just sitting there feeling like she’s legitimately in the fucking Twilight Zone ---middleearth2asgard
---
You knew you should've stopped them from drinking all that ale. 
Over and over again you thought to yourself that this night won't end well if you don't put a cap on their drinking, but each time you came close to interfering you kinda just decided that letting them have fun is better. 
I mean, they've earned it so why not let them enjoy their first night out of danger after all those awful things that happened? Dragons, trolls, orcs, near-death experiences, a war, thousands of horrible things and one night to unwind and be happy. You can't very well take that away from them. 
But you really should've. 
By the time they polished off the first half of the barrel of ale they are completely wasted, and it's hard to keep track of them amidst the sea of men, other dwarves, and elves who survived the battle. 
Well, maybe not wasted since they can still talk and walk around sort of well, but they're definitely inebriated. 
You had maybe a quarter mug of drink before you realized they'll need someone to watch over them, so after that you gave up and decided to make sure none of them do anything stupid (also, ale tastes horrible so you don't wanna finish it). 
Which, to some extent, they do. 
Act stupid, I mean. 
It's just the complete opposite of who you thought it would be. 
You honestly thought that your biggest issue would be Fili and Kili, and probably Dwalin, but as it turns out they aren't even close to being a problem. 
As it turns out, your biggest issue at the moment happens to be Bofur, Bilbo, and Ori. 
Bofur is, quite literally, trying to start a fight with everybody. Bilbo won't leave you alone, and flirting with you so shamelessly. And Ori... won't stop crying no matter what you do. 
For the life of you, you don't know what to do. 
Every time you tell Bofur to calm down he tells you to square up (more or less), when you try to console Ori he cries even harder, and Bilbo... he has pickup lines for days. 
"Bofur! For the last time, sit down and stop glaring at everyone!" You snap, grabbing the back of his shirt when he starts yelling at someone for 'looking at him funny' while also patting the back of Ori's head comfortingly. 
"E-Everyone is so mean to me..." Ori sniffles and sobs, reaching up to grab onto your hand, using it to wipe his tears away like a tissue. 
You cringe but let the young dwarf do it since he's sobbing so much, and when he releases you, you turn to Bofur.
"Stop tellin' me what to do!" He shoots back angrily, though he doesn't fight you when you force him to take a seat. "Damn woman..." 
"Bilbo, please keep an eye on these two while I find everyone else." You tell the small hobbit making heart eyes at you. 
"Surely, my dear, you would much rather stay with me?" 
You kinda just stare at him for a moment before slowly saying, "Do as I say." 
He doesn't reply to that and takes a seat, listening to you surprisingly enough. 
Once that's done you slide off your chair and try to find everyone else, noticing Thorin right away since he's... doing stand up comedy?
He's standing on a table and the group that's gathered around him is laughing their asses off, telling him to give them more jokes which shocks you to your very core. This mans is the complete opposite of funny and chill. 
"And then I told him that no pretty pixie of an elf will talk to me like that!" 
The crowd around him roars with laughter and applause, and while you didn't hear the first part of his 'joke' it still doesn't humor you. 
You fight your way through the countless bodies and finally get to the table, cupping your hands over your mouth so he can hear you when you yell, "Thorin! It's time to go!"
"Y/N! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Thorin calls happily, successfully putting the attention onto you. "I've lost my nephews! Have you seen them by any chance?" 
Why is he asking you??? 
You shake your head slowly and reply, "No, why would I know where they are?" 
"Well, you certainly seem to know the whereabouts of their tongues quite well!" He calls with loud boisterous laughter while everyone around proceeds to find it funny too. 
You kinda just stand there for a moment, looking up at him blankly before your face begins to grow hot. 
Okay, you know what? No, you're not dealing with this right now. 
Very slowly you begin to back away, trying to both avoid eye contact with everyone and also trying to keep yourself from blowing up on the new king. 
Where did he get such an idea from anyway? Freaking dummy. 
"There she goes, off to another royal snogging!" 
More laughter, but you're disappeared and gone before anyone can poke anymore fun at you for something that most certainly did not happen. 
The next person you find, coincidentally, is the princes, and you're pleased to see them sitting mellowly at a table and having a conversation. 
"There you boys are! Thank god you're not drunk, if you could please help me to gather-" and then you hear their conversation and horribly slurred speech. 
"No, I'm tellin' ya, Fee, there's no way lovin' is easier than being loved. It jus' doesn' make sense." Kili tells his brother while shaking his head.
"Of course it does! When ya love then ya don' have t' worry about your own feelin' anymore, 'cause then you already know." 
Are these two really discussing the complexity of loving versus being loved? 
"An' how would you know that?" Kili asks, shaking his head back in fourth a bit too much to show his disagreement. 
"Tha's none of your busn'ess." He slurs back, pointing a finger at him accusingly. 
"How can we even be sure that it's real in tha first place?" 
"Are you sayin' you don't love me?" Fili challenges. 
Kili freaks out and shakes his head, "N-No no! Of course I do!"
"You better, 'm your brother." Fili grumbles, turning his head until he notices you, "Oh! Y/N!"
You're quiet for a moment, kinda just looking at them oddly since their conversation both makes no sense, but also makes all the sense.
They take your silence as a go ahead to continue their 'discussion' and Fili then brings up, "Well wha' about Y/N?" 
"What about her?" Kili asks back, laying his head down on the table after a moment. 
"Nnoo, 'm askin' her." 
"You didn't ask me anything." You chime in, reaching over to take their mugs from them. "You two are making no sense." 
"Wellll, I think she would rather be loved since it doesn' make sense tha' loving is easier." Kili grumbles, trying to reinforce his point through you. 
"I don't think it really matters at the moment, boys. Why don't you both come with me and we can all take a nap and sleep off our drunkenness..." 
"No! It does matter!" They both yell at the same time, successfully earning a sigh from you. 
"But-" 
"Y/N!" Someone calls excitedly suddenly. 
You turn your head slowly, but before you can put a face to the voice, someone it crushing you in a big hug. 
"Have I told you that you're an excellent woman?" The person crushing the life out of you asks, and it's at that moment that you realize it's... Dwalin. 
"U-Uh, no, not really-"
"Well, that's a shame! You're wonderful." He confirms with a quiet hiccup, holding you slightly tighter when you start to squirm. 
"Alright, thank you Dwalin but if you could please-"
"See! My point is proven." Fili slurs triumphantly, pointing at you and Dwalin. "He's havin' a ball, nd' she's freakin' out!" 
"That h-haaas nothing to do with love, Fee!" Kili grumps back, smacking Fili on the shoulder harshly. 
"Hey! Who do you think yer lookin' at!?" An all to familiar, standoffish voice bellows to your left. 
You turn your head and see Bofur trying to get some huge dude to throw some punches, and then you hear more jokes from Thorin across the room, Ori's wails, and Bilbo flirting with some other person. 
Mahal save your soul. 
"You three." You call suddenly, gaining the attention of Dwalin, Fili, and Kili (the three you thought you would be having the most problems with). "Whoever gathers the most of our friends outside gets a big prize."
Kili gasps and asks, "A big prize?" 
"The biggest prize." You confirm, feeling relieved when Dwalin lets you go. 
"What is the prize?" Dwalin asks, looking at you with a very uncharacteristic grin on his face. 
"I can't tell you, it's a secret until one of you wins." 
"Oh, I'm gonna get more than you two!" Fili calls, struggling to get up from his seat before Kili, the two pushing and shoving each other while they fight to stand. 
"No fighting or you are disqualified." You warn, wagging a finger at them.
Thank god they listen. 
---
You manage to gather the original three (Ori, Bilbo, and Bofur) and Nori, and get them outside of the party hall, trying your best to calm Bofur and Ori while Bilbo keeps on calling you beautiful and complimenting you. 
Eventually, Dwalin walks out with two dwarves. Balin (who is sober, thank god) and Dori. 
The next person to show up is Kili, and he has Bombur and Gloin. 
Finally, Fili emerges from the hall and managed to swipe Oin and Bifir.
You smile at them brightly before you realize you're one short, "Where's Thorin?" 
Fili sighs and answers, "I tried ta get 'im but he made fun of me until I left." 
That sounds about right. 
"I tried, too! But he kep' callin' me names." Dwalin grumbles while Kili nods. 
"Yea-h, he kep' pokin' fun at my beard." Kili agrees, looking at the two he gathered, "Who won?" 
"None of you, it's a tie." You reply, shaking your head.
A part of you is glad, actually that they all have the same amount, because you have no idea what the supposed 'big prize' is supposed to be. "I'll have to find a way to get Thorin, I guess..." You state wearily, already growing tired of their shenanigans. 
" 'm sorry." The three you assigned to help you say sadly, looking at you with big upset eyes. 
"N-No, it's fine! Just, keep everyone out here, okay? I'll be right back." 
---
Suffice to say you were not 'right back' at all. 
The moment you walked back up to Thorin he started making more jokes about you 'being with' different people in the original company, and very quickly does your patience wear thin. 
At some point you just lose it and end up grabbing his ear and dragging him out of the party hall while people boo at you for being a fun killer. 
Once you've successfully made him leave, you push him out the doors and do a quick headcount to make sure everyone is still there. 
You take them all to a private wing where they all have their rooms in as well as a private kitchen Bombur introduced you to. 
"Okay, good. Now that we're all gathered up in one place... Come with me to the kitchen. Lets eat a bit and have some water, okay?" 
"Is there more ale?" Dwalin asks with the same smile. 
"No!" You snap a bit angrier than you mean to, "No more alcohol for any of you."
That successfully shuts them up. 
Once everyone is seated at the table in the newly stocked kitchen, you go through the cupboards and collect some berries and bread, bringing them over to the table so they can get something in their stomachs to absorb all that alcohol. 
You give them all some chunks of bread and leave a handful or two for everyone (more for the bigger of them), then you walk off to get some water. Balin helps you out with it all (being as he's barely even tipsy), and eventually everyone has water and some food. 
It doesn't take long for everything to disappear into their stomachs, and once they've done as you instructed you start to help some of them to their individual rooms. 
Nori and Dori drag Ori to the room they share, Balin takes care of Dwalin, Bombur excuses himself and thanks you heartily, but you have to take care of everyone else unfortunately. 
First, you deal with Bifir, Oin, and Gloin, which isn't too hard luckily. 
Bifir says something you can't understand and gives you a hug before going off to bed, and Oin thanks you tiredly before closing his door. Gloin smiles at you, being less drunk then those left behind, and thanks you as well before heading off to sleep. 
Now you're left with Bilbo, Thorin, Fili and Kili, and, finally, Bofur.
When you reenter the kitchen, Thorin is laughing about something he said no doubt, and Bofur is glaring at him so angrily you're afraid he might actually hit him. 
"B-Bofur!" You call, running over to stand between them before wrapping your arm around his waist when he starts to wobble and walk towards Thorin. 
Right away he stops and leans into you, still glaring at Thorin while he wraps an arm around you in return, "Wha' is it?" 
"Come along, I'm going to take you to your room for bed. You too, Bilbo, come here." 
Bilbo has no problem walking over to you (though he does sway a bit) and stands next to you while you begin to take Bofur out of the room. "That's a good boy, come on." You usher them both out and, eventually, manage to get Bofur to his room so he can sleep it off. 
You shuffle him to his bed, and once he's seated you tell him to take off his shoes. While he does that, you swipe his hat and lay it on the bedside table, pulling his blanket back so he can lay down. 
Once he climbs in, you pull the covers up over him and pat his head, "There you are. Go ahead and sleep for me, dear, cause you're going to feel dreadful in the morning." 
He closes his eyes while grumbling something about being told what to do, of course he listens nonetheless and doesn't move or say anything else. 
You lean down and kiss his forehead lightly, then turn and leave the room. 
The door thumps softly when you shut it, and then you grab Bilbo's arm and walk with him to his room.
"You're simply stunning in this light, Y/N." Bilbo tells you, wrapping an arm around you despite being able to walk fine. "Completely breathtaking." 
"Thank you, Bilbo. Though, you're going to be mortified tomorrow. I can imagine you'll be begging for forgiveness within an hour of waking up." You comment, opening up his door so you can take him to his bed. 
"W-"
"Not a word." You cut him off quickly, knowing that he's going to say something very not appropriate, for both your sake and his. 
He climbs into bed without further coaxing, though you do have to take off his coat for him and fluff up his pillow a bit, but once he's nestled under the covers, he doesn't go to sleep. 
Instead he stares at you with baggy eyes, and smiles lightly, "You look radiant." 
"As you've said a few times, Bilbo. You spoil me." You lean down and press a light kiss to his forehead next, and when you stand up straight again he reaches up and taps your nose.
You giggle softly and grab his hand, placing it back at his side before walking over to the door. 
"Goodnight, Bilbo." 
"G'night, Y/N." 
When you arrive back at the kitchen, Thorin is gone and only Fili and Kili remain, talking about another odd topic once more. 
"Where did Thorin go?" You ask, looking around then back down the hall. 
"His head hurt, and he went to bed." Kili replies chipperly, smiling brightly. 
Well, that does make your job a fair bit easier. 
"Alright. Well, boys it's time for bed so come along." You tell them in a gentle voice, gesturing for them to come to you with a wave of your hand. 
Somehow they manage to get to their feet, but after they take a few steps it becomes painfully obvious that there's no way they'll be able to make it, like Bofur. 
Right away you go over to Kili and have him wrap an arm around your waist, and, somehow, you manage to shuffle forward with him to his brother who is looking very unstable at the moment. 
You get Fili to wrap an arm around you as well, and once you've got them both you proceed to, very slowly, shuffle your way to their room. 
At some point Kili started to press his face into your neck and Fili began to lean into you more heavily. If it weren't for the fact that you had one of them on either side of you, you probably would've toppled over. 
Eventually, you do manage to get them to their room, and once you do you bring them to their beds (there are two). 
You have them both sit down and go to light a candle, and once that's done you turn back to see if their laid down yet. Only, their both looking down at their feet as if they expect their shoes to taken themselves off. 
With a heavy sigh, you walk over to Fili and crouch down, taking off his shoes with little difficulty. "There you go, now take off your jacket and lay down." 
Fili nods his head and begins to shrug off his coat, so you turn and go to Kili, pulling off his shoes next. 
Once he's barefoot, you stand and smooth his hair back lightly, "You take off your coat too, okay?" 
"A'right." He mumbles, doing just as you said. 
You step away and take a few steps; and, once their both laying down, you go to Fili and pull his covers up to his chin. 
"Do you sleep with your braids in?" You ask quietly once he's tucked in. 
"N't my mustache ones..." He replies with his eyes closed. 
You nod, though he can't see it, and reach down and pull the clips off, placing them on the beside table so he can grab them tomorrow morning. 
Once he's settled, you lean down and press a kiss to his head, then turn and go to Kili. You're basically on a seesaw with these two, tending to one for a moment before going to the other. 
Kili is sitting up with his legs under the blanket, but when you walk over he lays down completely and waits for you to give him the same treatment as his brother. 
You grab the top of his comforter and pull it up until it covers most of his chest, and once that's done you reach behind his head and pull the clip from the back of his head, off. "Is there anything else?" You ask softly while placing his beaded clip down as well. 
"No..." 
You nod, then lean down and kiss his forehead like you've done to literally everyone else.
"Alright. Goodnight then, boys."

Hey, this hasn’t happened in a long time. Stress headache for writing. Guess its time to write a small fluff once again,
Also with my favorite skeletons because I want multiple skeletons shhhhh it’s just pure self-indulgence without any rhyme or reason to why anything happens...
Ice cream. Cookies. Milk. Chips. Chocolate bars.
All things that you shove into your basket as you walk around the convenient store with a scowl on your face, biting your lip so you don’t scream and cause everyone around you to think you’re crazy. You’re just getting everything you think you want, to treat yourself after feeling so... so... much!
You feel your heart speed up just thinking about it and you squeeze the handles of the basket hard enough that it starts to bend.
Ugh, I just wanna go HOME, you cry in your head as you wait in line.
You’re just stopping yourself from tapping your foot restlessly when your eyes spot a surprise near the registers.
Candy cigarettes?
...
Oh what the hell.
You throw them into the basket too. You’ve never tried it, but it looks like something fun to show at home and surprise the guys.
You put up a pleasant face for the cashier (no need to make a retailer’s job even more miserable) and happily decline the plastic bag. One good thing that happened today: you remembered your reusable bag!
It’s certainly something? To cool your temper.
You walk out and you’re back to walking fast to get home as fast as possible, almost checking shoulders with people when you think the ones in front of you are walking too slow for your current mood. You see your home in the distance, thank god, and make a little sprint towards it, half-hoping a little bit of TLC once you’re there.
You peek in the window as you go to the door, and though you don’t see anyone, you shrug and attempt to bowl over the door, only to curse up a storm when you find that it’s locked, of course. After more hissing and quiet yelling at the handle that dare get in the way your angry relaxation time at home, you shuffle your keys out, haphazardly unlock the door and slip inside- slamming the door just a little harder than you should’ve and march towards the sofa.
(After throwing your jacket, your shoes and socks, and your whole bag on the floor next to the door.)
“(y/n)...?” You hear Snow’s voice from the kitchen as you throw yourself into the cushions, bouncing a bit while the contents of your bags jumped with you.
“Hey Snow,” You say while you make a “pbbbff...” noise with your lips, turning on the TV to look for... you don’t know what, just something to take your mind off things.
Just his voice cools your chest.
You take out the bag of chips and rip it clumsily, with some of the chips tumbling out of it and onto the floor. You make another exasperated noise but make no move to clean up the mess, instead choosing to shove a mouthful of chips into your mouth.
(To be honest, you’re not even properly eating the chips. Just... biting it harder than you needed to, making more of an angry mess on your crinkled shirt.)
Maybe you’re doing it to get attention, you don’t know. You just feel so “aaeghegshrg”.
Thankfully, you didn’t have to make even more of a fool out of yourself, and you see a shadow fall over you from behind.
You sigh when your frustrations simmer down at just the idea of him being there for you... you really weren’t the kind to hold onto anger for too long.
“is... something the matter...?” Snow’s gentle voice comes from behind you, soothing you even more.
You make another sigh, but you look up to him with tired eyes. “Yeah. But it’s hard to say... I’m just not in a good mood... sorry.” You apologize bashfully, feeling silly when you see the mess you’ve made. You hear Snow chuckle, his deep voice shaking your core, making you want to drown in it. The big skeleton rounds the sofa and sits beside you (where the bag isn’t), and his weight pulls you a bit towards him.
“don’t be sorry.” He smiles at you, his sockets crinkled. “is there... anything i can do...?”
Feeling his warmth right there, you start leaning into his chest. “You’re already doing plenty. Just having you here makes me sleepy.” You titter. “Uh. Not in the bad way, I just... I feel relaxed already. I think I’m just tired, I don’t wanna feel... I dunno, spiky?”
“isn’t that red’s thing?”
The new voice surprises you enough to blink your eyes open (you really were starting to doze off on Snow’s chest) and sit up. You look to the darkened hallway (as the sun was setting and the lights haven’t been turned on yet), and see a pair of white lights, until you see the blue-clad skeleton that emerges out of the shadows. It’d be a good horror movie scene if he didn’t look so.... like Sans. Relaxed grin, lazy sockets, slouching a bit, pink slippers shuffling against the floor.
“hey...” Sans starts, his eyelights darting to the chips on the floor. “my little shoulder-chip. what’s wrong?”
“she said she feels... spiky,” Snow repeats as you nibble on a big chip, letting his knuckles ghost your cheek. You don’t say a thing, so he keeps on going.
“mind if i make some space?” Sans points to the bag and you make a little nod, and Sans moves it to the coffee table and sits beside you.
“I dunno... i’ve just been feeling like... this,” You say emphatically, pointing to the chip in your hand. “I feel... like a potato. Just... I dunno... stuck? I don’t know, I just feel,” you make vague, aggressive hand gestures in the air, and slump back down. “Like that,”
Sans takes a breath to say something, but you’re all suddenly aware of the sound of a... clang?? Somewhere outside the house, a door being thrown open.... the heavy steps of feet as someone’s running towards you-
“ilikepotatoes.” Red’s voice suddenly breaks into the room, as all three of you turn your heads around to where he is in the hallway, panting and sweating a bit, his grin a bit too wide with his eyelights dilated in his sockets. He’s sweating.
“Red... how,” You breathe, “Did you even hear that?? Also why did you run here?”
“... dramatic effect?” Red shrugs as he saunters easily to the sofa. “anyways, what i’m saying is,” He says as he folds his arm on the back of the sofa behind you, “i like potatoes. in fact i jus’ love to eat ‘em.”
He bounces his brows at you. “what i’m sayin’ is, if yer a potato, i’d love to-”
“oh my god shut up red,” Sans covers his face with both of his hands, apparently blue in the face from embarassment.
“ey i’m tryna make the girl blush what’re ya-?”
“that’s so stupid i’m getting second hand embarrassment,”
“oh fuck you.”
The exchange gets a giggle out of you, and all three skeletons get a spark in their eyelights.
“Ok, so I’ve been feeling pretty... ehhh today, but this is turning things around,” You smile, looking at the dumbasses while you lean on Snow.
“that’s good to know,”
“i aim t’ please, sweetheart.”
Snow sits up a bit more, bringing you with him, and points to the plastic bag on the table. “so... what’s all that?”
“Oh,” you blush a little, feeling a bit embarrassed for all the things you’ve bought. “It was... an impulse thing. i wasn’t feeling so great, so I wanted to buy everything I wanted to eat. There’s ice cream, candy, chips, just... a bunch of snacks. Oh, I also found candy cigarettes in the store,”
“what,” Red immediately sounds behind you, his smug expression now just a baffled huh???
“the fuck’s candy cigarettes? d’ya... smoke candy ‘r some shit?” Red asks incredulously, prompting a hearty laugh from you. “aw c’mon doll i gotta know!”
“Well,” you start to explain-
“humans’re weird.” Sans says plainly, fishing out said snack from the bag.
He gives it a shake, and you see Red’s eyelights dilate at the sound.
“I mean, don’t pretend like monsters aren’t,” you say as you take the box out of Sans’ hands, “this aren’t like actual cigarettes, Red. They’re just candies that look like cigarettes, so when you put them in your mouth to eat it it looks like you’ve got a cigarette in your mouth. They also have powders inside of them you can inhale and exhale so it looks like smoke... I read kids used to love them exactly for that reason? i don’t know what they taste like,”
You took one more look at the packing and tilt your head. “Oh... it’s chocolate cigarettes, so this one’s just... milk chocolate in the shape of a cigarette,”
“c’mon open ‘em, i’ve never seen ya with a cig darlin’,” Red chuckles, a playful expression on his skull.
You take out the old-timey box and open it. Inside as about 12 “cigarettes” all wrapped in paper. The chocolate sticking out of the ends does make it look like a cigarette. You pull it out and look at the three skeletons, expectations on their faces...
And you stick it into your mouth, moving away from Snow to sit back on the couch and put on your most stereotypical “criminal look” as you put your arms on the back of the couch and fold your leg over the other.
...
“Ey...” you say with a hint of confusion, taking out the chocolate to blow nothing into the air.
“HAH-” Red barks out behind you, slapping his teeth with his bony hand with a clack, doubling over behind the sofa while his shoulders bounced erratically, wheezing as he tries to hold in his laugh.
His absolute giddiness at seeing you with a “cigarette” in your mouth only makes the rest of you giggle and chortle, unrestrained, and the cigarette almost pokes into your throat when you accidentally breathed the whole stick into your mouth.
“Pweh-” You spit out the cigarette (it still had the paper on!) and laugh when you see Red, still unable to pull himself together as he looks like he’s actually struggling to breathe. “It wasn’t that funny!” You tell him, but your own chest is shaking when you see how Red looks like he’s dying.
“i... ha, i don’t fuck’n know!” Red unfolds himself and puts a hand on his chest as he tries to control himself. “i didn’t expect ya t’ say ‘ey...’ heheh... hehahah!”
You unwrap the chocolate from its papery confines and pop it in your mouth, biting it in two so you could chew on it. You take deep breaths before you swallow to make sure you don’t choke on it.
“gimme one of those,” Red reaches over you and takes a cigarette, propping it in between his teeth. He then proceeds to take a few steps back, leaning against the wall. He closes his sockets as he takes a “hit” and makes... the weirdest shape with his mouth (like he was trying to close his ‘lips’ while he was trying to withhold a smile) and makes a pout to exaggerate him “blowing smoke out”. He then keeps that weird mouth shape as he lids his sockets (one was lower than the other what the fuck,) and you watch the edges of his grin bend upwards.
“eyyyYYyyYy.” Red says, mimicking you.
You practically end up crying from how stupid everything is (why are you even laughing? It’s not supposed to be funny!) and the four of you end up on the couch poking fun at each other while eating all the snacks you’ve bought, until eventually Snow stands up to make a real meal for the lot of you.
You forget all about your stresses for the rest of the night, and even fall asleep with a smile on your face.

This is Ch.2 for my creepypasta story.
Now this is the second chapter to my story and its description can be found in my blog, i manly update on wattpad does i still will be putting these chapters on tumblr (not as frequently doe :/). so yeah have fun and hope u like it.
A sharp pain was the first thing felt by the girl the moment she woke up from her coma. Laying on a dirty, ruined couch, she put a hand on her head and softly groaned. At that moment she heard the light murmur of male-sounding voices near her and tensed up. She was confused and dazed. She didn't know where she was or why she was there. Not knowing what to say or do she just overheard their conversation, hoping they wouldn't notice she was awake.
" I-I don't know what the-they were thin-king, bringing a young h-human girl to be the next middle-m-man. A-a-are the elite becoming that desper-des-desperate?" One of the men said. He sounded considerably young, around eighteen years old. The boy appeared to have a stutter. His voice was also soft, almost sounding more like a whisper than anything else though still audible. ' What is he talking about?' The girl thought to herself, her train of thought was abruptly stopped by another voice speaking up.
"I don't think it's smart to doubt the elite's decision Toby, even so, she seems to hold some attributes required in a middleman." A monotone voice spoke. A soft "yeah" was soon hear from one of the men and it sounded forced. Then a bone-chilling chuckle came from the same monotone man. "What's so funny?" One of the men spat, their voice was deep and husky. "Well if you must know," The other man said sounding amused "It's kind of funny that out of all of us you should know just how capable she is." He rudely remarked snickering. The other man seemed to growl under his breath "Wasn't she the one that knocked you down and stabbed you in the leg?" The monotone man finally said in a provocative tone.
"Well, now you're just begging me to kick your ass." The irritated man spoke in anger and stood up but promptly cringed from the shooting pain from the injury to his leg and sat down. "I'd like to see you try," The monotone man replayed amused by his comrade's actions. The irritated man was about to say something when another voice spoke up, "Can you guys stop fighting already, I mean there's an unconscious girl in the living room that we have to prepare for her inevitable death." A boy said, he also sounded young similar to the first man, but this time his voice was much louder and sounded naval.
When overhearing what the boy said, she loudly gasped in shock without thinking, that seemed to catch the men's attention and they quickly went quiet. The atmosphere was so tense you could cut it with a knife. An awkward and unbearable silence fell upon everyone. But soon it was ended by the rattling of chairs getting put aside and the pattering of loud footsteps approaching the room she was in. Not knowing what to do, panic was the only thing she could feel at that moment. As she laid there, not moving a muscle the first that spoke was the man in a white mask.
"So now you choose to wake up? Took you long enough." He said to her annoyed, she looked at his masked face and then looked around the room. It seemed to be a log cabin by the walls being constructed from wood, and by the general look of it, it was pretty big. The couch she was on was in a rather rough shape, and right across from it was a scratched up wooden coffee table. Then she noticed one of the men resting on an armchair in a similar state as the couch she was on. He seemed to be looking right at her, though it was hard to tell from the blue mask that covered his face.
"Where am I? And who are you, people?" The girl spoke in a harsh tone trying to seem strong, though, in reality, she was terrified, and the men appeared to notice. "Aren't you a snarky one? But don't try to act tough or else." The man in the feminine mask said boredly. "Now, as for who we are, my name is Timothy Wright, but you will call me Masky." He hardly spoke while pointing to himself. The girl scanned him from head to toe and noticed that one of his legs was wrapped in a now blood-stained bandage. 'Did I hurt him that badly? Well serves him right.' She thought while glaring at him. "That guy over there," He continued and pointing to the tall man sitting on the armchair with his legs crossed, "Is Jack or as he's better known, Eyeless Jack." The man, named Jack nodded his head in her direction. "That shorty over there." This time he pointed to a short boy whit blond hear leaning on the door frame to the room, "Is Benjamin Lawman or Ben Drowned." Ben waved at her and smiled, but the smile was more creepy than anything else. "And lastly," Masky said while pointing to a boy with orange-tinted goggles " That's Tobias Erin Rogers or Ticci Toby." The boy then spoke up, "Ju-just call me T-toby."
"You're in your new home." He emphasised. "Here you will live till the day you die. Now, as for your purpose, you have been assigned the role of a middleman from now on." He said while looking at her dead in the eyes. "You're kidding, right? Is this some sick joke? A middleman? What even is that? You must be insane if you think I'll believe you." She responded hysterically while frowned and glaring at the man even harder than before and crossed her arms. "Oh, but you will, you don't have a chose in the matter." The masked man responded, looking at the girl sternly, he then sighed "I guess I should explain your new job shouldn't I." What he said sounded more like a statement than a question, and he carried on explaining.
"You will be the middleman of this forest," He said while pointing to the windows and sure enough, on the outside, there was a forest ' How didn't I notice that before?' The girl asked herself. "You have the job as negotiator, judge, executioner, errand boy and among some other things. But that won't be as easy as it sounds, because in this forest reside evil monster, creatures, demons, killers and different mythical being. Things that you humans thought were only in legends and tales." He said that as if he'd said it a million time before and continued "Now, we four were ordered," He moved to point around the room, gesturing to the men. "To get you and bring you here. So in the range of the next six months, we can teach you everything you need to know about being a middleman and how to do it right. At the end of those six months, you will go thru a four-stage test that will prove just how much you have learned, but if you were to fail, you will get executed. Do you understand?" He finally finished while looking at her and tilted his head. The girl was baffled and couldn't believe what she heard, better said she didn't want to believe it.
"You can't be serious right? I mean do you expect me to accept everything you just said as fact" The girl protested while immediately standing, "I don't know who you think you are, but I'm certainly not staying here any longer." And as she was about to head for the door, Jack suddenly spoke up. "And where will you go? You don't have any clue where you even are. Do you think you can just go out of this forest like that? Well, I'm sorry for ruining your parade, but that's not going to happen." He responded to her in his usual bored voice that seemed to be laced in a thin veil of sarcasm. 'He has a point,' She thought while looking at him. 'But it can't be that hard to leave a forest, right?' She reassured herself. "Oh, and another thing, this isn't a normal forest. No, it's a portal between the human world and underworld." He smirked through his mask when he noticed the girls face turn pale, "Though it doesn't look like it, you are in a branch of hell, and the only way to get to the human world is by knowing where the portal is, and we certainly won't be telling you of its location anytime soon." He remarked this time in a way that was much more malicious, almost seeming like he wanted to make her mad or provoke her.
But the girl didn't budge 'Is what he's saying true? I hope it's not, but I can't afford not believing him.' Still not moving from the place she was standing, she glanced down, "Why me?" She said, defeated. Those two words seemed to catch the men off gourd. " W-well," The boy named Toby spoke up. "You we-were chosen b-b-by the Elite." He said softly. "Who are the elite? And what do you mean by they "chose me"." The girl was quick to ask. "The El-elite are four o-o-of the strongest creatures in the underworld, they are the on-ones that choose the midd-middlemen for every branch and reg-ion of hell." Toby said, "We were als-also told m-m-many thi-things about you, your n-n-ame, hobbies, what you aspired to b-be, your dark-est secret, and mu-much more." He finished. "Better said we know everything bout you, Y/N." The boy named Ben stated calmly while smiling. Hearing her name come out o his mouth sent shivers down her spine.
The girl collapsed on the couch in defeat and put her arms to her head, 'Is everything that they're saying genuine? It can't be, can it?' She was in a state of dread and didn't want to belive what they were saying. 'I need to calm down, there has to be a way out of here somehow, and I'll find it.' She kept reassuring herself." Now, as I was saying, we four will be teaching you everything you need to know," Masky spoke up again with his hands behind his back." Your room is upstairs to the left. You should get as much sleep as possible we will start training tomorrow at nine-thirty am," He said while looking into the girl's eyes, "Do NOT be late, or else." He finished while going near the front door of the cabin, "Oh, and don't even try to escape, someone will be standing guard to make sure you don't." And with that, he and everyone else left. She was left alone whit her thoughts in the empty cabin,
'I should go and check out my room shouldn't I, maybe I'll find a way out.' and with that, she went upstairs.

hey can u do a snafu x reader where she’s a marine corps engineer stationed with him and he’s likes her and hits on her but she always rejects him and when new recruits flirt with her he scares them away bc she’s “his girl” and like fluffy at the end? i know the engineer thing is weird but i’m an engineering student so... yeah. thanks and i love ur work! also i know i typed “she” but it can be gender neutral
Notes: I have a fic similar to this called 'Trouble won't let you forget' but i really wanted to write this anyway. it seems like a super interesting prompt and i've never written an engineer type character except once, but that was only kinda, so thanks for requesting! i don't feel fantastic about this but i hope you like it anyway. also sorry for the length.
You'd bet good money that out of all the soldiers on this godforsaken island, you'd been here the longest. There was hardly any question about it – you set up the original tents. You built the bridges, you set the trenches, you planted the landmines, and that made you an original. It was high time for you to be sent home, but the order never came, and all you could do is keep working.
The perks of being here since the beginning numbered few, but the one that gained you the most attention was the fact that you knew everybody. Every single person here had personally come up and had a conversation with you, filled to the brim with questions, wondering of how life worked and what exactly they'd be doing. Oftentimes people would come up and ask about other people – it was one of those ways people tried to know someone without actually talking to the other person, and you were happy to oblige. From this dependency on your library of knowledge, a deep-rooted respect had grown for you in the encampment, a respect that very few people dared to break.
There was a man who, like you, had yet to be sent home, and had been on the island for a good amount of time. Not as long as you of course, but a fairly long while. You didn't get on particularly well with him, which was unfortunate, considering it was likely neither of you were going to be sent home anytime soon. It wasn't that you wholly disliked him, either – it was more that he didn't like you. He never trusted you with anything. You'd get orders to build something, to scout out a new area, something like that and he always insisted on joining you, spouting bullshit about how you couldn't do it yourself, despite the fact that you've done this far more and for much longer than he has.
"Every single order for the past month, every one of them you've sent me on that dickhead -"
"Don't get snarky, Corporal," your CO interrupts you, his arms crossed as he sits leisurely behind his large, wooden desk, looking like he thinks he knows everything.
"You have to see my side of this, though," you plead, practically ready to get on your knees and beg.
"He don't have ta' see anythin', jus' that ya can't be left alone," Snafu, that asshole, that fuckface, drawled, a mocking laugh leaving him. You didn't bother to glare at him – it never worked.
"It's better for your own safety anyway," your CO says, a technically valid point, but your distaste for Snafu had grown that validity didn't matter. "Can't carry a gun in your arms if you're settin' out trenches."
With your fists curled so tightly that your nails almost dug through your skin and into your blood, you turned and left, seething with annoyance. Snafu followed after, walking by your side with that trademark smirk that did nothing but make you want to punch his face. You wouldn't, of course. Probably.
"Let's get this over with," you grumble, grabbing pikes out of one of the large, wooden crates sat beside your CO's tent. Stuffing them into your bag you turn, stumbling backwards when you find Snafu directly in front of you, close enough for your chests to be touching. Now greatly unsettled you circle around him, watching him the entire time to make sure he wasn't going to try anything.
You make your way through the camp, avoiding the larger crowds before finding yourself (and Snafu) in the wilds of the forest. Looking to your left you find bare ground, rich with fallen leaves and crumbles of dirt and mud, and to your right you see the already-dug trenches filled with puddles and forgotten trinkets. Pulling out one of the pikes you set it into the ground, stabilizing it just enough so you could stomp your foot on it, digging the marker deep into the earth. Snafu doesn't help – no, all he does is watch you sweat in the humidity caught beneath the canopy of trees, with his gun slung over his shirtless back and his boots pressing large footprints into the ground.
About halfway through you begin to have difficulty, which is fortunately something you expected. Thirst gets the better of you with your empty flask, but you don't dare ask Snafu for help, as you know exactly what his response would be. Something about how helpless you are, how you need him – something that both demeans and makes fun of you. You bite into the inside of your cheek in hopes of the preemptive anger dissipating. Instead of saying anything at all, you set another pike in the ground, practically pile driving it with the heel of your own boot.
"Lookin' pretty sweaty there," he says in that soft voice, that wonderfully soft voice that you would've adored, had you not understood the words he was saying.
"Cause you're such a prize? Look at yourself. You're sweatier and fuckin' filtheir than me too," you grit out, digging into the earth with your bare hands until you finally pull out the large rock in the way of your plans.
"No need ta get angry, doll," he laughs, pulling a cig out of his pocket and lighting it. With the obstruction his words are even harder to understand, slurred and blurry, and you already have enough issues with the left side of your face, what with the eye injury and the bomb damage. "Want one?" He says as he offers a cigarette to you.
"No," you mumble. "That shit'll kill you."
Considering the amount of times he's called you doll, one would assume you know what the nickname means. You don't. Most people call you Foxeye, and Snafu calls most people by their usual nicknames, but not you. Nope, he has to make your life harder in every aspect, so of course that means giving you a new, separate name that you have to respond to. Even the way he speaks that name is demeaning – like you're something precious. Like you'll break.
"Why don't you make yourself useful and actually help me for once?" You ask when your trail begins to circle back to camp, pounding another pike into the ground.
"Nah... I like t' watch ya sweat," he says with an obnoxious grin.
"I can't wait till you go home," you grumble.
"Me too, doll."

To your dismay, neither you nor Snafu are sent home before the next installment of men comes in. You're sitting on the beach, trying to draw one of the crabs scuttering about on the sand when you spot the massive boat, first only a grey speck on the distant horizon. Over time it grows closer, and by midday you can tell for certain it's a boat with a new installment. By the afternoon it docks near the bridges you helped to build, and the men come out. Each of them have fresh haircuts, with clean-shaven chins and bright eyes. It isn't the hair or the happy eyes that sets them clearly apart from the others, though – the major difference between you and them is that they're clean. You can see the actual color of their skin, and their clothes are neatly pressed.
From your spot on the beach you admire them. Love for men is not something you share with many people. Actually, you don't share it with anyone, as any mention of it would seriously damage both your reputation and your relationship with your CO and the various companies gathered here. Still you watch in silence, heart racing when a brunet with a sharp jawline and dark eyes meets your gaze and smiles. He smiles at you, and instantly you can feel blush fill your cheeks. Nothing will come of it, you know that, but it's a pleasant feeling that has you upbeat the rest of the day.
Several days later you happen to have an actual conversation with the man, but it's nothing more special than what people usually talk to you about. The sun overhead burns warmth into your skin, and as you stretch out in the back of one of the trucks, your eyes close. Heat is generally despised around here mostly because it's always hot, but every now and then it can be pleasant. This is one of those times, where a quiet happiness bubbles in your stomach. One of the men the handsome stranger is walking with notices you, mumbling something you can't quite hear, but the group approaches you. When one of them clears his throat you pop open your one good eye, sitting up when you notice all of them looking at you.
"You're Foxeye?" One of them asks with a furrowed brow.
"What gave it away?" You say with a pleasant yet distant smile. Reaching for your hip you pull out your flask, unscrewing it and taking a long sip, one you know shows off your own jawline and your permanently bloodshot left eye.
"You've got quite the name around here," the handsome one from before says, leaning against the truck in a positively tantalizing way. You're good at not letting it show, so you just shrug, turning to him with a soft grin that manages to make his cheeks turn a pretty pink.
"Seems like you know me already. What are your names?" You ask, doing a quick survey of the group before turning back to the handsome stranger.
"I'm Mark. Lester," he says, offering his hand for you to shake, which you gladly accept.
The others introduce themselves after him, and although you try to remember everyone's names, the introduction is cut short by that guy. Snafu worms his way through the crowd, pushing anyone who tries to stop him out of the way. You try to ask him what the hell he's doing this time, but before you can say anything at all, he grabs your wrist and pulls you down from the truck bed, pulling you out and away from the group of new soldiers. Trying to yank yourself out of his grasp you pull, scratching at his fist and groaning with the effort.
"What the hell are you doing!?" You finally ask when the group is in the distance. Only there does he release you, turning round to face you with almost... angered eyes. Why would he be angry with you?
"I ain't doin' this for myself," he tells you, gritting the words out. "Captain wants t' speak with ya."
"Oh," you mumble. "You could've just told me, instead of fucking – it looked like you were gonna kill me."
He doesn't say anything. He doesn't even smile, and he certainly doesn't carry his usual lax body language, something that does its' job of unsettling you. All he does is turn and leave, leaving you alone in front of your CO's tent. All you want is for him to like you, but no, he has to refuse, and further than that he has to be an asshole about it. Slow with shock you open up the door, entering the tent to find it empty, many of the classified documents scattered about his desk. It doesn't interest you greatly – most people are already willing to tell you their secrets, considering how well you keep them, but what does interest you is what you see past the mesh of your CO's tent.
Snafu's talking to Mark. Neither of them look particularly happy, but you couldn't imagine any situation where they'd get on anyway, what with their massive personality differences, but this isn't normal. They're pissed. Snafu doesn't get incredibly angry, but now he looks outraged. You're too far away to hear what they're saying, but soon their words turn to yelling, and you can do nothing but stand there and watch as other men start getting involved. One group is trying to calm Snafu down and the other is trying to reason with Mark, and as they yell louder you can just barely make out their words.
"You're a fuckin' pussy, Marky!" Snafu yells, kicking his legs into the air as two men grab underneath his arms, lifting him up and trying to carry him away.
"I'd rather be that than an asshole as fucked up as you," Mark says, spitting at the ground.
His actions do nothing more than rile Snafu up further, till he's writhing in his friend's grasps, pushing and pulling so harsh that he falls to the ground and starts in a dead sprint towards Mark. Mark is fittingly terrified by this, backing up into the large gathering of men behind him, but it's not enough. He ends up falling back into them as Snafu practically launches himself at the man, landing on a pile of bodies that quickly squirm out of the way as Snafu pounds his fist into Mark's face.
"You fuckin' touch 'em, even look at 'em ever again I'll give you a real beating," Snafu says when he stands, leaving Mark in a daze from his fist. To finish it off Snafu lands a harsh kick to his chest, dramatized by the heavy fall of his boot, drawing a harsh cough and breath from Mark.
It's only when the crowd disperses that you realize your mouth has been hanging open, quickly rectifying that with a quiet embarrassment. In a reflex you pull your flask from your hip, opening and taking a long swallow from it. Part of you wants to go help Mark, another part wants to go yell at Snafu, but the part that wins over is your curiosity. You don't want to ask Mark what happened, and you don't want to ask Snafu either – Mark may be handsome, but you don't know enough about him to trust he'll give an accurate description of events. Snafu likes to make your life a living hell, so you can't depend on him for truth either, leaving you with one choice.
Wandering around the camp you find a group of men smoking together in general silence, a group neither Mark nor Snafu is in. There you stop, not bothering to ask if you can sit down with them before you do so. Again, you're well known – no one besides Snafu has any issues with you. So you ask them.
"What the hell were they fighting about?" You ask amidst the quiet, knowing they would all know who you were talking about. One of them looks up at you, a pipe hanging out of his mouth, and a single eyebrow quirked.
"Are you being serious?" He asks you as the others pointedly ignore your conversation.
"... yes?" You say, feeling less sure of yourself the more he stares at you.
"Just go ask Snaf. He'll tell you better," he says, and after that he returns back to his magazine. A small sigh leaves you as you stand, brushing off your already dirty clothes.
Every part of you screamed that Snafu wouldn't tell you the truth, so you leave it at that. You're happy to stay in the dark as long as it means you avoid having another excruciating conversation with that man. You’re done trying to win his favor. For the next several days you even do your best to avoid him, ducking out of the mess tent when he enters and walking the other direction when you see him down the path. In fact, you do such a good job of it, that you only talk to him again when you're setting up the rest of the trenches. Once more he's managed to convince your CO to send both of you on to chart out the remaining trenches, even though the job is rarely dangerous, and you did it fine before he ever even came to the island.
Once more you find yourself ignoring his incoherent ramblings, drinking a long swig from your flask before letting out a sigh, driving another pike into the ground. Sometimes you can barely even hear him – this is one of those times, and these times make it easier for you to do your job. If you cared about Snafu you might've made an effort to understand him, but you don't care about him. At all. He could choke on his dinner and you wouldn't raise your head.
"I've got a question for you," you grunt out, knelt beside a pike that just won't go in. There you begin to dig at the earth with your hands, trying to find the hard ground or the rock stopping it.
"Go ahead, doll," he says when you pause in concentration.
"Jesus –" you mumble beneath your breath, your annoyance spiking at the nickname. "Saw you and that new recruit duking it out. What was that about? No one's willin' to tell me."
He went silent.
Snafu never goes silent, especially when the subject of a fight he won is brought up. Even when you move onto the next pike he doesn't speak, so you turn to him, sitting down in the dirt and looking up at him.
"What? I say something wrong?"
He still doesn't say anything, but he drops to his knees, almost right between your legs as you looks to you with a reverence so deep and pure you think you're imagining it. But you blink, and he's still there, one hand wrapped around your ankle and the other right beneath your raised thigh. Your breath catches in your throat, but from what you can't tell – is it surprise? Horror? Intrigue? All you can feel is the way his bare skin moves against your clothed legs, clouding out all thought of your racing heart.
"Y' ever hate someone?" He asks in the softest voice you've heard him use. Words fail you, so you nod, thinking only of him. "Is it me? I don’t blame you."
Well, you don't hate hate him – it was more of a he hated you, so you hated him in return situation. Nonetheless you nodded, curious to see where this was going.
He surges forward, and in one fluid motion he's kissing you, pressing you up against the bark of the tree behind you. Your immediate reaction is to try and crawl backwards, try to get away from him, but you're stopped by the tree, and he uses it to his advantage. The hand around your ankle moves, coming up to your head and tangling in your hair. There he pulls, drawing the smallest whine – not a moan, you won't let it be a moan – from your unwilling mouth. He presses himself impossibly close to you, till you're chest to chest, his hips practically grinding into yours. The way his lips move – soft against your own, needy and full of an ardor you didn't know could exist, especially not within him, but it's there. God, it's there, it's all you can feel as he nips at your lip, soothing the burn he leaves with his tongue. In that tiny motion, that semblance of caring you melt. Only then do you return his kiss, letting him pull at your hair, letting him have this control that is so rare to find in such a place as this.
"I told him you were mine," he mumbles when he pulls away, his breath warm against your cheek as he moves to whisper in your ear, all the way leaving tiny kisses. "Fucker thought I was lyin'. You're mine."
"Yeah," you breathe out, regaining control of your limbs just soon enough to hold his cheek in your palm, drawing him back to you and pulling him into a kiss you control. "I - I thought you hated me."
"Nah," he says, chuckling against your lips. "Jus' lookin' out for ya."
Now that was a surprise – and for once, it’s one you like.

Djinn’s Bride! ~A Celebration of Love~
Part 5
[Walpurga Nacht Academy]
[Prefect Meeting Room]
Marcia: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?!
Rosa: … Hey, hey, you’re kinda going overboard with the whole surprised reaction, you know? We’re already way past that.
Marcia: Haaaaaa? Don’t treat this like it’s just an everyday occurrence! 
Rosa: Huh? But shouldn’t you be happy? 
Marcia: Ha?! What’s there to be happy about?! Can’t you sense the situation here?
Rosa: Grr! I can! I totally can! That’s why I thought you’d be ecstatic to have all your problems solved like this! Isn’t this what you’ve been hoping for?! That ‘rich overnight’ type of success story?!
Marcia: YOU IDIOT!
Rosa: ?!?!
Marcia: Stuff like that doesn’t exist in reality! If something is too good to be true, then it definitely is! Don’t just take it for granted that things will work out so easily!
Rosa: E-Eh? What’s with this speech?! Since when did you have such a strong moral code?!
Marcia: It’s just common sense, Rosalia. Money that’s not earned through hard work will just trickle down between your fingers.
Rosa: Th-That was surprisingly cool coming from someone like you… It’s kinda scary seeing you like this. 
Marcia: These things aren’t matters to laugh at. If I don’t take them seriously the old man will get disappointed in me.
Rosa: Marcia…
Marcia: That’s why, under no circumstances, can I just throw everything I’ve worked on to get married to this guy! 
......
Besides he’s totally not my type, anyway.
Rosa: What’s with these standards all of a sudden?!
Marcia: Sorry~ I just don’t go for guys that look this silly~ I want a super cool looking husband that’s also filthy rich~
Rosa: Haaaaaaa?! Then what was with that speech just now?! Make up your mind already! 
Marcia: Hehehe~
Blanche: Goodness gracious. This has gone on for long enough.
June: Tch. Fuckin’ headache.
Diana: …
Cass: U-Um, in that case, you wi-will not take Mister Djinn’s offer, Miss Py-Pyroeis?
Marcia: No way, no way! Hahahahahaha! It sounds super troublesome, you know?
Vita: What a shame. To think that you would willingly discard your golden goose just like this. My expectations were surpassed. Fufufu~
Marcia: … You still sound like you’re looking down on me, heh… In any case! That’s how things stand. So as you can see, I’m gonna have to turn you down. I mean I’m flattered and all that, but our timing just isn’t right~
Rosa: Geh, what’s with that obviously fake line? And turning him down in front of everybody…
Diana: These sort of things should be blunt.
Rosa: I-I guess, but you know…
Djinn: Ah, so that’s how it is?
Blanche: … He’s taking it surprisingly well.
Cass: Se-Seems like he’s an u-understanding person. Ho-How fortunate!
Marcia: Yeah, yeah. So sorry again~ 
Djinn: …
Marcia: Ah, but don’t look glum! I’m sure you’ll find someone who’s just your type~ Just keep looking! The world’s your oyster!
Djinn: … Hm.
Marcia: …
Djinn: …
Marcia: Um, i-in any case! Since you won’t be fulfilling any wishes, guess you can go back to your lamp now! Ah, don’t worry! Our dorm will take super good care of it and won’t be bothering you or anything. 
Djinn: …
Marcia: … Ah? Uh?
Djinn: …
Rosa: … Hey, he’s still here… What’s up with that?
Cass: Ma-Maybe he needs help returning to his lamp?
Marcia: O-Oh! Hahahaha! Why didn’t you say that, man? Don’t be shy to ask for help! Here, here! As your kind master I’ll help you get back in the lamp and-
Djinn: … Actually.
Marcia: Ye-Yeah?! What’s wrong?
Djinn: That won’t be happening.
Marcia: E-Eh?! What do you mean?!
Djinn: Well, getting back there, is kinda, you know…
Marcia: Ye-Yeah?
Djinn: A huge hassle~
Marcia: … Huh?
Djinn: It’s~ sooooo~ lame~
Rosa: Geh! He’s just lounging on the table like it’s a sofa!
Blanche: It’s not as if he was much of a charming figure before, but…
Cass: Hi-His whole personality to-took a sudden shift…
Agatha: … Annoying.
Marcia: La-Lame? I mean, I guess I understand, but still… Didn’t you say the place is great?
Djinn: Ah, that… I was lying.
Marcia: Huh?!
Djinn: Yeah, it’s kinda small and cramped. Not to mention super dark. Can barely see anything in there. 
Marcia: A-Ah… 
Djinn: And it’s super lonely too~ Playing mancala against yourself is super depressing. Especially since I can barely see the board in the first place.
Rosa: … This guy’s life sounds sadder the more I hear about it.
Djinn: Haaa, I guess you’re right on that part, fluffy hair.
Rosa: Flu-Fluffy hair?!
Agatha: GYAHAHAHAHAHA.
Rosa: Do-Don’t laugh so loudly! It wasn’t even that funny!
Djinn: See~ That’s what I’m talking about! I want somebody to banter with and have fun. I’m super jealous of you guys~ Aaah, to be able to enjoy the world so freely~
Blanche: … He’s deeply misread the situation.
Diana: Mm.
Djinn: That’s why~ I’m looking for a wife~
Cass: He’s ju-just lonely in the end…
Rosa: Hmm, I guess we can’t fault him for this, huh? Alright, Marcia!
Marcia: Huh?
Rosa: Just go with him!
Marcia: HAAAAA?! NO WAY!
Rosa: But I feel super bad for him! Didn’t you just hear how pathetic he is? You’d be doing him a service!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Miss Morgainne! We can’t sa-sacrifice Miss Pyroeis li-like this!
Rosa: Eh? But didn’t you get that weird pitying sensation in your stomach when you heard him talk? Isn’t Marcia going with him the nice thing to do in this situation?
Cass: Um… I-I-I…
Vita: It would certainly solve this little issue~ I for one wish to congratulate you on your upcoming nuptials my dear magpie~
Marcia: He-Hey! Don’t marry me off, just yet!
Agatha: Hehehehehehehe… How… nice… you… get… to… be… a… March… bride…
Marcia: Nooooo! Listen to me!
Diana: Agatha. You’re wrong.
Marcia: Diana! You’re coming to my rescue?! I will worship the ground you walk on-
Diana: It’s June a bride should aim for.
Marcia: IS THAT REALLY THE PART YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT?! HAAAAAAAAAA?!
June: STOP YER YAPPIN’, DAMN IT!
Marcia: AAAAAAAAH! YOU MONSTERS! YOU’RE CASTING ME AWAY JUST LIKE THAT?! I’LL HAUNT YOU! I’LL SERIOUSLY HAUNT YOU ALL!
Vita: Oh~ What a delightful concept~ Is it not so, my dear Agatha?
Agatha: Hehehehehehe… seeing… the… chowder’s… agonized… face… would… be… fun… ehehehehehehehe
Marcia: HEARTLESS! ALL OF YOU! ABSOLUTELY HEARTLESS!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Miss Pyroeis!! Please!! Do-Don’t lie on the floor like this!
Marcia: AAAAAH, I DON’T CARE ANYMORE! YOU MONSTERS CAN JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mi-Miss Pyroeis!
Blanche: …. Djinn.
Djinn: Hm?
Blanche: I would like to make a request of you. 
Djinn: Ha, didn’t you hear me, bunny? Wish granting ain’t happening here today-
Blanche: No, that is not what I’m referring to. 
Djinn: Hm?
Blanche: As you can already see Marcia has no intention of following through with this arrangement. Forcing her against her will would only result in a miserable affair. This is why I believe it would be best for everybody to be done with this and move on. Don’t you agree?
Marcia: Blanche… BLANCHEEEEEEE!
Blanche: Do-Don’t cling to me like this! It is unpleasant!
Marcia: But!! I didn’t think you’d come to my defense like this! You’re an angel! A goddess! I’m eternally grateful to you!! My children will know of your-
Blanche: I understand already! So please, stop this right now!
Marcia: Blancheeeeeeeee!
Rosa: I-I guess Blanche is right after all. Forcing somebody to marry against their will is just…
Marcia: That should be common sense in the first place!! Seriously, why is your head screwed on backwards, Rosalia?!
Rosa: Huuuuuh?! Are you seriously calling me dumb right now, when I’m agreeing with you?!
Marcia: Don’t think I’ve forgotten how you almost sold me out! My only ally here is Blanche!
Cass: We-We’ve truly done something unforgivable…
June: Yer too harsh on yerself, Cass.
Marcia: And you’re not even trying to act compassionate at all!
June: HAAAA? WHAT WAS ‘HAT?
Marcia: Blegh!
June: I’MMA RIP ‘HAT TONGUE OUT RIGHT NOW, YA LIL’-
Blanche: I-In any case, I believe it has been made clear to you why I’m making this request.
Djinn: ................
Blanche: ...................
Djinn: … Gotcha.
Rosa: That was easy! That was way too easy!
Djinn: But… no can do on that one either, bunny.
Rosa: I KNEW IT
Blanche: ... Excuse me?
Djinn: As I told you girlie, sitting in that lamp is mind-numbingly boring and I don’t wanna do it anymore! 
Rosa: That’s exactly what a brat would say!!
Agatha: That’s… ironic… coming… from… you… hehehe
Djinn: So given the situation, there is only one solution~
Marcia: Eh, what do you meAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
[BOOM, CRASH]
Rosa: Wh-What’s with this wind current?! It’s like we’re sucked in!!
Blanche: It’s from the lamp! Take a good look at it!
[BOOM, CRASH]
Djinn: That’s right, that’s right~ We’re gonna settle this inside the lamp~
Marcia: I DON’T WANNAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Rosa: OUCH! HEY! DON”T PULL ON MY HAIR LIKE THAT! WH-WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?!
Marcia: THIS IS PAYBACK FOR BEFOREEEEEEE-
Rosa: EEEEEH?! YOU’RE DRAGGING ME DOWN WITH YOU?! HOW MUCH OF A VILLAIN CAN YOU BE?! LE-LET GOOOOOOO-
Cass: Mi-Miss Morgainne!
June: CASS! SHIT!
Blanche: Himalia-senpai, your grip’s too strong!
Diana: ....
Agatha: Let… go… you… dumb… land… animal… Big… Big… Sis… !
Vita: My~ I shudder to think what a wondrous adventure awaits us all~ Fufufu~
Marcia/Rosa: THIS IS THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORST-

oh jeez vampire keiji coming out to his fem so??
vampire!keiji is my biggest kink ok i had way too much fun writing this... i think i got *too* into it, u know?fem reader
-
Something had been lingering in the back of Keiji’s mind recently. There was a feeling he had that just wouldn’t go away, no matter how hard he tried to ignore it. It was strong. Stronger than his feelings for you... stronger than his blood lust. 
For the two years he had known you, he’d been blatantly lying to you. Hiding his true identity from you. Just like he hides it from everyone. This is just what he had to do to stay safe, alive. And he’d never felt guilty for it - not once in the decades he’d been living this way did he feel even a shred of guilt for lying to humans. 
Until now. Until you. Until a relationship with you blossomed. 
He always wondered how it was possible he could create such a bright, living love. Someone who’s quite literally undead shouldn’t be able to be a part of something as alive as his love for you - but somehow, he was. And he felt privileged to love you. 
That’s why this secret was eating away at him. 
If he could, he’d make it go away in a heartbeat (not that he remembers what it’s like to have one.) He’d even gone through the trouble of asking all of his friends if there was some type of cure for vampirism. As far as they all knew, there wasn’t. And if there was, he’d probably die soon after taking it - his body is old, after all. The only thing keeping him young and alive is the very thing he hates the most about himself. 
He was desperate to stop hiding this from you. Rather, to stop having something to hide. Because he yearned to grow old with you. To live with you. Maybe even one day, create a life with you. But he couldn’t do any of that in this… form. 
He’d been close to telling you so many times. It would be on the tip of his tongue… and then you’d look up at him. Your eyes were so alive. And you’d smile at him for no reason, maybe even take his hand into your warm one. And he’d tell you never mind, each and every time. 
But there was something about tonight that was making that itch feel stronger. It was a full moon on a chilly autumn night, something you had spent a few minutes mentioning. You were spending the night at his apartment after a date in the city - he treated you to dinner at a fancy restaurant, though it was really just an excuse to see you all dressed up. It’d been too long since he’s seen you in a dress and heels. 
And now, he was laying in bed thinking. You were in the bathroom getting ready for bed, while he was waiting for you.
There was a lot on his mind. Specifically, his future with you. You’ve been bringing up engagement a lot - your own ‘subtle’ way of giving him a hint, throwing him a bone. And he’d even gone looking at engagement rings, just out of curiosity, though he didn’t let himself buy one. 
With engagement comes moving in together. And while he could hide his secret from you now, there was no way he could live comfortably with you unless you knew about him. 
Or, he could just let you walk in on him taking his daily supplements and put the pieces together yourself. 
No, that was not an option. It was honesty or nothing. 
Or… nothing. Did nothing mean he’d have to leave you if he never told you? On the other hand, did honesty mean you would leave him if he spilled the secret?
What really got to him, though, was when you mentioned having kids. He could only smile and nod as you talked so excitedly about having a baby with him one day, about how much you wanted him to be the father of your children. It almost killed him to hear you saying it, because the two of you can’t have kids together. The chances are slim, but if Keiji did get you pregnant, the baby wouldn’t survive longer than a few weeks in the womb. He could never knowingly put you through something like that. 
He had a pretty good idea of how you would react. He expected you to be afraid of him, something he wasn’t ready for. Maybe you would run away from him, fear him, never talk to him again. Maybe you would be stuck in a state of disbelief until he proved it to you - probably by letting his fangs come free. He’d do whatever it took to have you believe him. 
He had been spending a long time preparing himself for your reaction, whatever it may be. And he was going to respect whatever you did. Even if you told everyone, put him in danger, and were disgusted by him. 
Tonight was the night. He had to tell you tonight.
You walked out of the bathroom talking about how tired you were feeling. He watched you take off your earrings and place them on his dresser. You’d definitely forget them in the morning - if you stayed until the morning. 
You were wearing a big pair of grey sweatpants and a random t-shirt, your makeup had come off and your hair was put back. And he felt that familiar pang in his chest when he remembered how privileged he was to see you like this. 
“I’m still full from dinner,” you said, “I shouldn’t have finished dessert.” 
He was rubbing his hands together, bending his fingers till they popped, digging his nails into his palm; all things he tended to do when he was feeling anxious. He knew you’d notice. Surprisingly, you didn’t say anything. 
You were pulling open the blanket when he said, “Y/N.”
“Hm?” 
He sat up, pushed the blanket off himself, swung his feet onto the ground. He sat with his back to you.  
“What’s wrong, baby?” you asked him. “You aren’t feeling sick, are you?”
Yeah, he was. He felt so anxious he wanted to throw up.  
“No,” he lied. He was really living up to being a liar, wasn’t he?
You placed your hand on his back and he jumped at the gentle touch. Somehow, he hadn’t noticed how close you had gotten to him. 
“Keiji…”
You had one hand on his shoulder and the other rubbing up and down his back. But he didn’t deserve your touch. 
He wanted to look back at you, but he couldn’t. He knew the moment he looked in your eyes, he’d give up again. 
“Can I tell you something?” 
“Of course,” you replied. He knew you’d think the worst if he didn’t warn you. 
“I’m not breaking up with you. And I didn’t cheat on you. It’s not bad, don’t… don’t worry, okay?” 
“Okay, Keiji,” you said, and he could almost hear you smiling. “I’m not worried, don’t worry.” 
He wiped his hands on his pants and stood up, still not looking back at you. 
“I don’t… really know how to tell you this,” he said. “But I’ve been keeping something from you… since we met.” 
He was panting, his eyes were closed tight, his nails were digging into his skin and your eyes were burning holes into the back of his head. But you weren’t interrupting him, something he appreciated. 
He wanted to find a way to do this simply, but he couldn’t just say it. He had to beat around the bush a bit first. 
“So, I’m… I’m kind of... older than I told you I am.” 
“You aren’t 27?” 
He turned to face you, deciding that you at least deserved that.
“Kind of?” He looked around his bedroom, lingering his gaze on your jewelry on his dresser. Your dress on the ground. The drawer that was filled with your things. He couldn’t imagine his room without any of this - without your small things laying around. He didn’t want to lose any of this. 
But he’d never get a future with you if he didn’t tell you. He had to take the chance. 
“That’s how old I was when I, uh… when I… turned.” 
“When you turned what?” you asked with a quirked brow. “Keiji, you aren’t making any sense. Just tell me, babe.” 
“Okay, okay.” 
He forced himself to look at you. And this time, your kind face was basically pulling the truth out of him instead of making him double down on his lies. 
“A few years ago… more than a few, really, uh - I - there was an… accident.” 
You were nodding, seeming to be patient with his stuttering. 
“And I… died. But someone brought me back… kind of.” 
“Are you okay? What was the accident?” 
You were so worried that he would’ve thought you were cute if this was any other situation.
“Yes, baby, that isn’t the important part… I’m trying to tell you that… the person who brought me back to life - he wasn’t a doctor.” 
He’d never told a human about this. It felt like he was breaking some rule or unspoken code he’d placed on himself. 
“He fed me his blood after drinking mine, and… and when I woke up I was different.” 
He couldn’t look away from you. His eyes were glued to yours. He wondered if you could see how lifeless they were. 
“I woke up and - and I was a vampire.” 
And then you… laughed. “Keiji, you really had me for a second,” you said. “I really thought you were being serious.” 
But Keiji wasn’t laughing. 
“Y/N,” he said - it was barely above a whisper. “That happened… two hundred years ago.” 
Still, you were laughing. You thought this was a joke. “Don’t tell me, you drink blood and have fangs, too?” 
“Do you want me to show you?” he asked, desperate for you to believe him. He felt his two fangs growing bigger, sharper, and it was painful. He opened his mouth and rubbed his face as he winced. 
“...Keiji?” 
“Do you see them?” 
All the life had drained from your face as you stared at his mouth, at the two sharp teeth - the fangs - that had never been there before. 
“Keiji, this - this isn’t funny,” you said, shaking your head. “I - I don’t know why you’re doing this -” 
“I’ve been alive for nearly two hundred thirty years, Y/N,” he continued, “I live off of human blood and I’m more or less immortal - I can’t hide it from you anymore.” 
“Are you gonna hurt me?” you asked, scooting back away from him as fast as you could. “Please don’t -”
“I would never hurt you,” he said quickly. “I love you - I promise I’m not going to hurt you. Don’t be afraid, please.” 
You were looking at him as if he was some kind of science experiment, and it hurt him. He expected this to happen, but… he still didn’t think you’d ever look at him that way. 
“If I was going to hurt you, I would have by now, right? I’ve had the chance but I’ve never thought about hurting you, so please… please don’t be scared of me.” 
You nodded, but that look hasn’t faded. He just hoped you were listening to him - and was glad you hadn’t ran out yet. 
“I’m not the only one,” he continued. “There are more of us than you probably think.” 
“One of you is more than I thought!” 
“Okay, good point.” 
More laughter erupted from your chest, this time nervous and obnoxiously loud. 
“This can’t be real,” you said to yourself. “Why are you even telling me this, Keiji?” 
“B-Because - ouch, hold on -” 
He had to make those pesky fangs go away - they were too sharp to speak with. 
“How do you do that?!” 
“I don’t know, it’s just like moving any other body part,” he said almost too casually. “Okay - I told you because - can I sit down?” 
You nodded, and Keiji sat as far away from you as he comfortably could - just to be safe. He didn’t want to get too close while you may still be afraid of him. 
“I told you because… I can’t marry someone who doesn’t know about me.” 
Your eyes somehow widened even more, “Are you proposing right now?!”
“No! No, Y/N, I’m not, I just… I thought I would soon, you know? And… you had to know about this before I did, before you were… stuck with me.”
You were quiet, apparently you had nothing to say. He did just drop a bomb on you, so he didn’t blame you. But your silence was deafening. 
“Y/N, you can… you can leave if you don’t feel comfortable, okay? I just ask that you don’t tell anyone but… but you can do that, too, if you want - just… I’m sorry, okay?”
He could feel himself getting emotional, tears were filling his eyes. He couldn’t hold back his next words.
“I wish I was human so badly, I… I would give anything to be normal, but… If that day hadn’t have happened, I never would have lived long enough to meet you. And that has been the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, so I’m grateful for it, too.” 
He wanted to hug you, kiss your cheek, hold your hand. In that moment he wanted to be close to you more than anything - but he feared he’d never get that chance again. 
“...I’m not going to leave, Keiji…” 
“Thank god.” Keiji could finally breathe - just hearing you say those words made him feel a sense of relief he’d been waiting two years for. 
“If you have any questions, you can ask,” he told you. “Or we can just… pretend this never happened, go to bed… act normal.” 
“Are you gonna bite me?” 
He chuckled - of course you had questions. “No, kitten, I won’t do that.” 
“What would happen if you did?” 
“It would hurt,” he replied. “But some people say it feels good… I would drink your blood, I guess.”
“Would I die?” 
“Not unless I went too far.”
“Would I turn into a vampire?” 
“No, babe. You’d have to drink my blood for that to happen.” 
“Oh…” 
He was surprised at how good it felt to talk about all of this. He’d been keeping it in for so long, it feels like a dam had broken. 
“Have you ever bitten a person?” 
“I have.” 
“Have you ever turned someone?” 
Keiji shook his head. 
“Have you ever… killed anyone?” 
He didn’t hesitate to say, “I have.” And when you gasped, he felt that guilt again. Guilt for being who he is. “Before, that was the only way for us to live… I didn’t have a choice. But now there are some undercover programs, blood banks that are devoted to keeping vampires and humans alive. That’s where I get my, uh… food.” 
You were a good listener, but you still hadn’t ran out of questions. 
“Have you ever wanted to bite me?” 
He smiled, “Maybe a little. Not unless you’d want me to, though.” 
And then there was a long moment of silence; you still sat against the headboard, hundreds of thoughts zipping through your head. Keiji was still lingering at the edge of the bed, trying to decide if it was okay to get closer to you.
“Is this… real?” you asked, and he could hardly hear you say it, it was so quiet. 
He nodded. “Unfortunately…” 
He’s sure you were wondering all sorts of things you didn’t want to ask - or maybe you didn’t feel a need to ask. 
“But I - I’m still me,” he told you. “Still Keiji. Still your Keiji.” 
The smile you gave him was wide and genuine - it made him grin just as wide. But he smiled even bigger when you scooted down to sit next to him. 
“Why did you hide this for so long?” 
“I…” He chuckled at himself. “I don’t know… I thought you’d… run, or something.” 
You snorted, “I almost feel like that’s what I should do but… I’d never leave you, Keiji.” 
He was so happy to hear you say that he almost cried. Your hand came up to rest on his cheek, your touch so gentle and soft. And when you looked at him with those eyes that were so alive, he really did want to cry. 
This moment felt… real. It felt human. He felt alive, something he hadn’t been and definitely never felt in the two hundred years before meeting you. You made him feel alive. 
But there was a question on the tip of your tongue - you were dying to ask it,  he could tell. And when you did, he felt his stomach turn. 
“Would you ever turn me?” 
Without hesitation, “No -”
“Why not?” 
“Do you want me to?” he asked in complete disbelief. 
You shrugged. “I don’t know. I’m just asking. I’m going to get old one day and you… won’t. Isn’t that going to be weird?” 
“Let’s just…” He didn’t know what to say, because this is something he’d been thinking about since your relationship started. He didn’t have a suitable solution for the problem. “Let’s just figure that out later, okay? In a few years… you, you can’t make this decision now.” 
“Okay… you’re right.”
“Let’s just act... normal for now. We can talk about everything later, alright?” He had been stifling a yawn since he sat down - despite the excitement this conversation caused, he was exhausted. 
He encouraged you to lay down with him, and was more than happy when you let him hold you like always. 
With a kiss goodnight he said, “I love you, kitten.” And you returned his words. 
You both lied there for awhile. Keiji was pretending to sleep, though you didn’t know that. You were sitting up and watching him - he could feel your gaze on his face. Your finger traced his bottom lip for a moment before you pressed the softest kiss there, and then you cuddled up into him once again. 
He pulled you closer and held you all night, grateful that feeling that’d been grating at him for years was finally gone.

FebuWhump Day 17: Field Surgery
Based on a series of drawings Em did a long while ago that I’m too lazy to go look up and link here.
I had Adagio for TRON playing on repeat for an hour while I wrote this because that’s my dramatically tragic writing music. Anyway, I don’t think this one turned out as well I imagined it in my head. But it was still fun to write. Most of what I know about “meatball surgery” comes from watching M*A*S*H.
Warnings: meatball surgery, improper tools for medical procedures, descriptions of medical procedures, vomiting, foreign substances, blood, trauma
--------------------
“Are you sure you don’t want to go back? You don’t look like you’re doing that well…” Max hovers uncertainly, watching Milo stumble through the underbrush to catch up.
“No, no, I’m good,” Milo gasps, leaning against a tree, “Jus’…jus’ need to catch my breath is all…” Sweat has matted his hair to his forehead and he’s dreadfully pale, breath wheezing out of his lungs, his legs shaking where he stands. Max gives him a doubtful look and Milo plasters on a pained grin, straightening up, “See! Just needed a break! No prob—“ His smile drops and he convulses, hands flying to his mouth.
Black sludge erupts through his fingers and splatter down his front, staining his hoodie.
“Milo!” Max runs back as Milo’s eyes roll and his legs give out from under him. Max manages to catch his friend before he hits the ground, easing them both to the forest floor with Milo propped in hi lap. Milo’s eyes are lidded and unfocused, his nose has started bleeding and the red is tangling with steady stream of sludge oozing out of his mouth now.
“Milo! MILO!” Max presses his fingers to Milo’s neck, feels a pulse fluttering there, and then whimpers when Milo’s body shudders and a fresh deluge of gunk splatters down his cheek to splat into the undergrowth. Max’s eyes are burning and his hands are shaking as he frantically looks around for help.
But there’s nobody out except for them.
They’re in the middle of the woods, hiking around to nowhere in particular, exploring because the sun is out and the weather is nice and they had energy to burn.
They’re just kids and stuff like this isn’t supposed to happen to them.
“Help, help, gotta get you help…” Maxis mutters, shifting Milo in his arms as he clambers to his feet, “Could fly you back…would get me in trouble…no wait, I don’t know if I have the stamina to carry you and fly…” He looks around helplessly—nothing but forest and trees and nature and sunlight through the canopy and everything looks so happy when it has no right to! Milo gags, his head lolling backwards to expose the pale stretch of his neck, his throat bulging. Panicked, Max shift Milo so Milo is sideways in his arms and more of that awful, pungent black ooze comes frothing out of his mouth. There’s red in it now and Max doesn’t know if it’s from Milo’s nosebleed or something worse.
Something internal.
It’s hurting Milo.
It needs to come out.
Taking a deep, shuddering breath, Max hurries back the way they came to a clearing they’d passed through a few minutes before. It’s open to the sky, full of light and flowers. It’s very beautiful. And it has exactly what Max needs.
Max carefully lays Milo out on the soft green grass of the clearing and gently removes the stained shark hoodie, folding it up to rest under Milo’s head. Milo coughs up another bout of black sludge, his eyes closed now, his breathing weak and shallow. Maxis works faster, frantically trying to recall everything he knows about field surgery as he goes. He shoves Milo’s t-shirt out of the way and shrugs out of his own vest. The water bottle in his pocket is lukewarm and he focuses on channeling heat into it until it’s boiling. As it cools on the grass next to him, Max tugs at the loose thread of his t-shirt, carefully unravelling as much of it as he can. When his fingers fail, he pulls his pocket knife from his shorts and picks the hem of his shirt apart. When he thinks he’s got enough thread, he inspects his knife and tests the edge of the blade. Still sharp. He looks down at Milo’s pale face, stained in red and black.
“Sorry, Milo,” He whispers, “This is gonna suck a lot…”
Max pours the hot water over the knife first, then Milo’s chest, and then his own hands.
Then he kneels in the grass next to his unconscious friend.
The knife quivers in his hands and he has to take several steadying breaths. He’s never done this before, not on a live person. Not on a friend.
He expects Milo to scream when the knife cut into his belly. But the only sound Milo makes is a gurgling moan. More black sludge crawls up his throat and smears down his face. It doesn’t stop.
Max tears his gaze away from Milo’s face and concentrates on his work.
He tries desperately not to think about how this is his friend. He tries to focus on what’s in front of him and ignore the rattling wheeze of his friend’s labored breathing, tries not to look at the pale face smeared in gore. If he starts thinking about Milo, he can feel the desperate, hopeless fear and panic trying to claw their way to the forefront of his mind. And he can’t afford it. Milo can’t afford it. So Max grits his teeth and keeps going, stubbornly ignoring the tears that want to spring into his eyes and obscure his vision.
It’s bloody work and Max has never had so much red on his hands.
But he remembers his training, remembers where to cut and how to hold his knife, how to gently slide his fingers between membranes and organs. He knows Milo is losing blood and losing it fast, so Max just has to work faster. He tries to find something, anything out of place. But nothing looks wrong. Milo’s insides are the way a normal teenage boy’s insides are supposed to look and—
Max finds something dark and oozing clinging to the rear of Milo’s stomach.
That is definitely not supposed to be there.
Swallowing hard, Max slides his knife between the black thing and the organ. It takes a bit of careful leveraging but after a moment Maxis able to peel it off with a sort of awful slurping noise. It’s hooked to the inside of Milo’s stomach with a long, thin arm of sorts and Max carefully tugs it free, using his other hand to press against the small hole it leaves behind to prevent stomach acid from leaking into Milo’s abdominal cavity. He drops the black thing on the grass beside him and snaps the zipper off his vest, using his strength and powers to fashion it into a crude, thin needle. It will be messy but it will get the job done. A hospital can patch him up properly.
Milo still doesn’t move when Max stitches closed the tiny hole in his stomach.
Nor does he when Max holds his skin and muscles together and closes him with grey thread already staining darker with blood.
But he’s still breathing.
Max counts that as a win.
He splashes the last of the water over Milo’s front and tries to scrub the worst of the stains from his hands. They’re still dark and still very red.
Max glances at the thing on the ground that he’d pulled out of his friend.
He’s never seen anything like it before. He remember once Milo joking about having a parasite. Is this a parasite? It doesn’t seem right. Something about it has Max on edge. It fills him with a raw disgust and visceral need to get as far away from it as possible. Something about this thing is wrong. It’s iridescent in a way that somehow sucks in the line, a blotch of darkness on the world that prickles Maxis’ sense of danger, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He’s considering burning the thing with a well placed fireball when there’s a shift in the grass beside him.
Max snaps his head around to see Milo stirring. His eyes are wide open now, sickly and unfocused, dazed like someone’s rattled his skull. But at least he sounds like he’s breathing normally.
“Milo, thank goodness, I’m glad you’re awake,” Max sighs in relief, “I gotta get you to a hospital, though, you lost a lot of blood and—Milo, wait!”
Milo struggles to sit up, heedless of the pain he should be in with the fresh wound in his stomach. His head lolls, flopping almost lifelessly on his shoulders, mouth hanging open and sweat and tears mixing with the blood and gunk smeared on his face. He looks like a puppet on someone else’s strings, being dragged along to someone else’s song, and it’s got Max on edge.
“Milo, you need to lie down,” Max urges, putting a placating hand on Milo’s shoulder, trying to gently push his friend back. But Milo resists, leaning forward instead. One pale, quivering hand reaches under Max’s arm, “Milo! Please! You shouldn’t be trying to move right now!”
“…M…Max…” Milo wheezes and his voice sound hoarse, his throat no doubt raw and sore from the constant vomit.
“Milo! Milo, I’m right here!” Max grabs at Milo, holding him up as Milo sways alarmingly. There’s a distant fog in his eyes, staring into nothing, like he can’t see Max or the clearing or anything anymore. Adrenaline and panic start gnawing at the back of Max’s mind and he doesn’t know how much longer he can keep them at bay.
“Max…” Says Milo in a voice that doesn’t sound like him at all. He sounds lost, hypnotized, vacant even. His hands paw at the air, shaking, and he clutches at the sleeve of Max’s shirt when he finds it, fingers dragging slowly at the fabric, “Mmmaaaaaaaxx…”
“Easy, Milo, take it easy,” Max shifts, sliding his arms around Milo as his taller friend clutches at him like a lifeline, “Deep breaths, Milo, deep breaths, it’ll be okay, I’ve got you, I promise, I’m right here for you!”
“Max…” Milo whimpers again. Confusion, vacant panic, desperation, something wholly and profoundly wrong twisting in his voice, “I…I can’t…I can’t…feel…I…”
It scares Max, this specter of his usually energetic and lively friend. Maxis has never been scared before, not like this. But this does not feel like Milo. This feels like an empty creature, haunted by something awful and unspeakable, and it fills Maxis with a dread he can’t put into words.
But Milo’s hands are holding onto him, clutching at him with a frightened familiarity. The way Milo had grabbed at him when that horror movie they’d been watching had scared him.
“It’s gonna be okay,” Max says, snatching up his vest and the shark hoodie, one to wear and one to tie around his waist for safe keeping. After a second of thought, he grabs the black thing still oozing sludge onto the grass and stuffs it into the pocket of his vest. Milo is clutching at him like he’ll disappear if he doesn’t hold on and Max has to struggle with him for a moment before he can stand up, “I’m gonna get you to a hospital, okay? You’re gonna be all right, Milo. I’m not gonna let anything hurt you.”
Max hefts Milo up in his arms despite his friend’s larger size. Then he takes off running, vanishing into the trees in a whirl of wind that rustles the grass and leaves with his speed. Milo lets out a choked sob in his arms and presses his face into Max’s stained shirt.
And Maxis, not for the first time in his life, wishes that his powers worked on people other than himself.

Whumptober day 26 - The Musketeers
Day 26: Concussion Fandom/setting: The Musketeers (BBC) Read on AO3 Read on ff.net
* The professional in me feels compelled to point out that the whole idea that you shouldn't sleep after a concussion is a medical myth. But the thought worked for this prompt so I used it, and you shouldn't be getting medical advice from fanfiction anyway XD
~*~
D'Artagnan knocked on the door and poked his head in with a small grin.
"Aramis, it's your turn to get some-" he started, before cutting off. It would be in poor taste to mention sleep when Athos wasn't allowed to have any. Shrugging sheepishly, he stole a quick glance at Athos but it seemed he'd been worried for nothing. Athos either hadn't heard the remark or wasn't reacting to it. Aramis, on the other hand, quickly got to his feet and hurried for the door.
"I should warn you," the marksman said in a low voice, taking a quick look back at Athos. "He's, ah... taken quite a knock to the head."
D'Artagnan raised an eyebrow. "Yes, isn't that why we're sitting up with him?" he asked. "Bad concussion?"
"Yes, but between that and the medication we gave him for the pain-" Aramis stopped, raising a hand to hide an obviously amused grin. "Well, never mind, I suppose you'll see for yourself."
That... didn't sound good. D'Artagnan's other eyebrow rose to meet the first, but Aramis didn't elaborate.
"Alright," he murmured. "Well, Porthos will wake you for the last shift."
Aramis nodded, clapping d'Artagnan on the shoulder. "Just don't let Athos fall asleep," he warned. "And... well, enjoy."
Then he slipped away to find his own bed, leaving d'Artagnan to shrug off the odd comment and head into the room to sit beside Athos.
"How's your head?" he asked in sympathy, not at all expecting the enormous smile that Athos directed his way.
"D'Artagnan, I'm so glad you're here."
"You... you are?"
"Come 'ere, sit down."
D'Artagnan, already there and sitting, glanced around, baffled. The way Athos was slurring his words made him sound almost drunk, except d'Artagnan was by now quite used to drunk Athos, and he tended to get surly, not friendly.
"Have I told you," Athos asked, leaning forward and pointing at d'Artagnan. "Have I told you how glad I am you're here?"
"Erm... just now, yes-"
"No, I'm so glad you're here. With the Musketeers. Don' tell Aramis and Porthos, but, y'know we're getting old. 'Specially me, I'm older'n both of them. I used to worry about what would happen after I was gone-"
"I mean, there are other musketeers, you know..."
"-but I don' worry anymore. Because you're not jus' a musketeer, yer special. You're goin' to be the best thing that's ever happen' to the reg'ment."
D'Artagnan found himself at a loss for words. For lack of a better response, he chuckled. "I... well... Athos, I think you were hit harder than I thought."
Athos nodded solemnly, tapping his head and then wincing. "Yep."
D'Artagnan couldn't help it—he laughed. Who knew how much of this Athos would remember by the time the concussion and drugs wore off. In the meantime, he was going to enjoy this.
.o.O.o.
"No, no, no! Athos, wake up. You can't sleep yet, you know that."
Porthos prodded his friend sharply with his elbow, making Athos jerk back upright with a sniff.
"Wasn' sleepin'. Oh, was I sleepin'?"
"You were tryin'," Porthos replied with a snicker. This was the most fun Athos had been in... well, ever. Porthos would be glad to have the solemn, serious Athos back, but meanwhile this was quite the trip.
"Oh. I'm sorry, Porthos." Athos leaned in. "Glad you're watchin' out for me. Y'always do, y'know?"
Porthos had to bite his lip hard to keep the grin off his face, but he nodded. "I know. You mentioned it a few times now."
"You're jus' like... like this big... big... protector musketeer," Athos elaborated with a wave of his arms. "Jus' goin' 'round protectin' everyone. Always feel a little safer when yer 'round. Or when I gotta- gotta send Ar'mis somewhere, knowin' you're going too, is just, it makes me- I'm glad, y'know? Because you protect us. Always have."
"Athos," Porthos murmured, feeling his face flush.
"You got our backs. Always do, I- I don' know what we'd do without you."
Porthos cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean... you'd be alright... we all look after each other, you know? You too."
"Yeah... I do... but, you're jus', you're really good at it. I need to close my eyes."
"Wait- Athos, no come on, wake up!"
.o.O.o.
Aramis gave Athos another draught of the pain medication Lemay had brought for them, watching to make sure he swallowed the whole thing down. The medic was sure Athos would have quite the headache for the rest of the week, but he should be able to sleep soon. Aramis checked his pupils again, tutting when Athos grumbled about it.
"Now now, where's that nice young man from before?" he teased his friend. "Last time you couldn't stop talking about how much you admired me. You're quite welcome to keep going, if you want."
"M' head hurts."
"I know, my friend. I'm sorry. The medicine should help."
"'M tired."
"I know," Aramis said patiently. "I just need you to stay up a little longer, alright? You can sleep in the morning."
"You're mean."
Aramis laughed at that one, said so petulantly that he wished he'd been writing all of this down to read to Athos later when he was feeling more himself. He could only imagine the mortification. The laughter only made Athos scowl more, the noble swordsman crossing his arms like a child. Then, Athos slumped.
"I don' mean it," he confided to Aramis. "You're not mean. It's not in you. Y' never were, even when I deserved it. You know you're the only one who'd even come near me, when I firs' got here? Didn' want you to."
"Yes, you made that clear," Aramis snickered.
"Didn' matter t' you though. Was like, you'd decided I needed a friend an' y'weren't going away until I had one."
Aramis hummed in agreement; that actually had been more or less his thought process, back when Athos had joined the Musketeer regiment and immediately drove everyone away with his standoffish nature. Not that it could completely hide the huge heart and ferocious loyalty underneath, but it took patient eyes to see it.
"Don' think I ever said it," Athos mused, tilting his head back to examine the ceiling as though the answer would be written there. "Mm... no, I didn't. But I'm really glad you did."
Smiling, Aramis patted Athos's shoulder carefully.
"I know," he said simply. "And so are we."
"I'm a handful."
"You are," the marksman agreed between surprised laughs. "Though not half as much as any of the rest of us, though I don't suppose that's saying a lot. But we wouldn't have you any other way."
Athos smiled and closed his eyes, the picture of contentment. Aramis almost hated that eventually this would all wear off. But in the meantime, he was glad his friend knew just how much he was cared for.
