#live concerts twin cities
Note
Idk if this is a good ask idea😭
But maybe tom and fem reader who are like childhood friends (also with bill) but she finally realized she was in love with him when he started to become popular and all the other girls where like fangirling. Like she noticed that she was getting kinda jealous
Thank you, I love your acc! And that you write for the kaulitz twins :)
(hello! Thank you for requesting, this still may suck bc I'm adjusting to writing for them now and rank you for visiting my account! Hopefully you like this, it's sorta my first jealous reader one so it still may suck. Enjoy!)
Number One Girl
Tumblr media
It was no secret of how close you were to Tokio Hotel, you had grown up with practically all of them.
You weren't in the band, but that didn't stop your friends from dragging you along to every city and concert they did.
Tom and Bill had always been with you, they just came into your lives one day and blended in perfectly.
Same with Gustav and Georg, somehow you all just clicked.
Especially when you and Tom got older, the boy somehow grew more confident and enjoyed flirting with you on any occasion.
Especially when he rose in fame with his friends, often dragging you onto stage or taking hints at you in interviews.
But you guys were never anything more, just friends, but some would think differently sometimes.
You did too, honestly. The more people confused you both as a couple, affection was never hidden as he often had his hand on your hip, hugging you from behind or even kissing your cheek.
You couldn't deny that you do the same to him, but it always felt different then when you would kiss Bill, Gustav or Georg on their cheeks or hug them.
Somehow, it was different with Tom.
Was it wrong to feel that way about him? Especially as he got more popular as time went on? Or how much his own fan base grew?
So that's how you landed here, forced by Tom to sit at a signing with him, Bill, Gustav and Georg.
"Oh, come on." Tom nudged you with his leg under the table as he saw your bored face.
"You get to see how many people want my autograph." Tom joked, pushing his face closer to yours as you laughed and pushed it away.
"I could be doing anything else, Tom. Yet I'm forced to sit here, like a hostage." You shook your head, the smile on Tom's face never changing.
"You'd gladly do it anytime." Tom said, kissing you on your cheek once before a girl came up to the table with a CD.
"Hey." Tom turned his attention to the girl, just as you turned to Bill who tapped your shoulder.
"(Name)," Bill called to you, showing you a piece of art a fan that recently walked away had given him.
"They drew their own version of the band logo." Bill smiled, holding the art work and showcasing it to you as you smiled.
The art was genuinely great, and it only added to Bill's smile.
"It's good, who gave it to you?" You asked, looking around as Bill pointed out a girl, about to introduce her name before security behind you guys jumped up.
"Hey!" Security yelled, you turned around just to see a girl kissing Tom on the cheek before she hurried off with her friends.
You stared at him with a raised brow as Tom laughed.
"It's all right." Tom reassured the security, laughing it off.
"What was that?" You asked Tom, the boy looking at you to see your face as you stared at him expectantly.
A smile came into his face, examining the unfamiliar look on your face as you eyed down the running girl still, turning to eye down him once more.
"What? She kissed my cheek." Tom tapped his cheek, proudly saying it as you merely shook your head at him.
Tom's fangirl had hugged him before and you saw but you had never seen one kiss him on his cheek before.
That was something you always did and have always done for him since you guys were kids.
"Aw, are you jealous?" Tom laughed, leaning closer to you as you scoffed at him, a small smile somehow finding its way into your lips.
"Don't worry, you're still number one." Tom smirked playfully, wrapping his arm around your shoulder, his head now in your neck as he gave your jaw a small peck.
"Number one? I better be the only one, Tom." You looked back down at him with a look he knew too well.
"We'll see, I have to have my options open." Tom joked sarcastically, stopping once he saw your face change.
"Nevermind, you're the only one." Tom shook his head, giving your temple one last kiss.
You couldn't help but shake your head at him once more.
Tom was Tom, and you wouldn't expect him to be able to control fans, but as long as you were around, your spot as his number one would always be safe.
Has been for years, always will be for the years to come.

Title: The (Last Name)'s
Fandom: Stardew Valley
Pairing: Sebastian x M.R x Sam
Warnings: None
Tumblr media
Everything was normal in Pelican Town. Well, until the new farmer moved into Pelican Town. Everyone was confused on why someone from the big city would move to their small town. Especially considering someone people wanted to leave the small town to the big city! They just didn't understand why.
Until they met the new farmer that is. According to Robin, the new farmer was Old (Last Name)'s grandson who had gotten tired of the big city, and wanted to finally wanted to settle down away from the nose and people. Everyone had many expectations and thoughts on how the new farmer would be. Although they were pleasantly surprised when they finally met him.
It didn't take long for (Name) to quickly become the biggest bachelor of Pelican Town. Everyone who was single wanted to be with (Name). They loved how sweet, generous, kind-hearted, and over all his bubbly and helpful personality quickly mad him the town favorite. (Name) was always willing to lend a helping hand to whoever needed it.
He even helped remodel the Pelican Town Community Center. Which ultimately sent the Joja Company packing. Saving Pierre's business from Bankruptcy. He also helped Willy fix his boat, that originally belonged to Willy's grandfather. So you can imagine how happy he was when it was fixed.
Since the boat was fixed the people of Pelican Town was even able to start going to Ginger Island. Where (Name) found the sweetest little boy. That he later adopted with the permission and help of Mayor Louis. When Leo was comfortable enough he moved into (Name)'s farm house.
Although he had a tree house beside Linus's tent in the mountains. Leo also visited the Island some days. Luckily due to all the hard work, (Name) also has a farm and house on the Island. So they went to the Island quite often together.
Something nobody expected was for Sebastian and Sam to end up with the new farmer. It came to a huge surprise to the town people when the trouple got together. They had seen (Name) was close to them, but to think they were all three technically dating? It was something else honestly. They didn't mean anything bad about it.
They'd just haven't had something like this happen in Pelican Town before. But everyone saw how happy they were whenever they were all together. Especially (Name)'s best friend Abigail. She was even their best woman at their wedding. Which was honestly hard to do since you usually can't marry more then one person.
But Mayor Louis made it happen. (Name) had become something of a grandchild to Mayor Louis. Seeing how much happier Pelican Town has become thanks to (Name). He did all he could to help the boys dream to come true. The wedding was small but beautiful.
In a matter of month the new (Last Name) family had three parents and three children. Leo was extremely excited to be an older brother to a pair of twins that the trio adopted. They'd found the twins after one of the bands concerts in the city. There was a boy with blonde hair and (eye color) eyes, and a girl with (hair color) hair and brown eyes.
They were greatly surprised on how they looked like the trouple. It warmed their hearts. They thank Yoda everyday for the life they're living. Because they wouldn't change any of it for the world. Although they maybe wish Leo would stop teaching the twins how to speak bird. Becausenit was cute at first, but who wants to hear that being screamed into your ear at six in the morning.
Not them at least.

The Timeline—
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Au Masterlist!!
Lucia Fantilli was kind of lonely in the sense that her brothers have always been considered one and she's always been the other.
The boys grew up in billets families in the States and she remained at home in Ontario with her parents.
She visited Chicago often when her brothers played for the Steele, the city holding a special place in her heart, so obviously when thinking about colleges University of Chicago was a big contender.
The boys tried to get her to go to Umich with them, but she knew Michigan wasn't the school for her.
Chicago offered her a soccer scholarship, so the decision was practically made for her
She lived her first year in a single dorm and worked at the library, she met her best friends and future roommates this year.
Christmas rolled around and so did the WJC which was taking place in Halifax, as we know Adam played, meaning that Lucy and the rest of the Fantilli family all found their way to the East Coast to celebrate Christmas and to watch the boy represent his country.
This is where she meets Connor for the first time, just a simple greeting at the beginning of the championship, and a warm congratulations after they take home gold.
She was a little starstruck by it all as he smiles sweetly and heads back to find his family.
Lucy then says her goodbyes to her brothers and parents as she makes her venture back to Chicago to finish out her freshman year.
The rest of the school year is very calm, she flies down to Tampa to watch the Frozen Four, they lose, and then Adam wins the Hobey Baker.
Many tears are shed as he gives his is speech, mentioning her as she cries with Luca in the crowd.
She truly does love her brothers, but sometimes it's a little bittersweet
She flies back to Toronto after exams end to work and hang out with her hometown friends, Luca is with the Umich boys in Florida, and Adam is headed off to Worlds then to the cup playoffs for prospect media and then finally the combine.
Next, it is the week of the draft, and the Fantillis are in Nashville, they'd been invited out to the NHL awards.
She gets lost in the crowd and separated from her family as they walk the carpet, her eyes find Connors as he ushers her over after seeing the panicked look on her face.
They walk the carpet together, he shyly compliments her dress as he greets fans and stops for interviews. Both of them were overwhelmed by the chaos that surrounded them, but both of them kept their smiles as they entered the building where their respective families were waiting for them.
Luca does not like the look of whatever that was, Adam thinks Connor is harmless so he's fine.
Draft Day is more chaotic than the night before, tears in her eyes as she watches Adam get called up into the stage 3rd overall.
He took her by surprise as he pulled her into his chest first, before Luca, a short “I'm so proud of you, I love you Mo,” leaving her mouth as he hugged his twin, a quiet “thank you for being my best friend,” leaving his mouth as she squeezed him even harder.
He's on that stage, displaying the little “Momma • Dad • Luca • Lucia” on the top of his vest as she cries even harder as he looks up to his family and he takes in his moment.
After the tears are dried and the media is in progress the Fantillis leave the crowd in search of the boy.
Lucy runs into Connor once again, congratulating him on being first, he makes a little comment about her dress and how she seemingly looks prettier every time he sees her, she's red in the face but she sums it up to the adrenaline he must be feeling in that moment.
After the draft ended all of the families headed out for dinner and other celebrations, and just after that was a draft party for all of the draftees held by the league.
It's a great time, she somehow finds her way next to Connor as she talks to Rutger’s older sister about the concert at the award show the night before.
She follows him out into the hallway as he's taking a break from the noise and the pictures that are currently taking place between draftees, their families, and past teammates.
“You okay?” she asks a little worried, “been a long day, that's all,”
It was very quiet between them as she sat down on the hall floor next to him, back pressed against the wall, “can't even start to imagine what you've been dealing with,” she whispered, “I would crumble,” she jokes as he shrugs and tells her that it's just part of the bigger picture, he's put up with it for his dream.
She finds him inspirational, he's the same age as her, yet he's so much more than her in the way that he has established a name for himself and he's living out his dreams. She doesn't have dreams, just a need to never be forgotten.
Heavy tipsy flirting follows the vulnerability as he whisks her away from the party, and they somehow find their way to his single hotel room.
Both of them wake up very early, in a bit of a panic because whatever happened between them is not normal behaviour for either of them. She rushes to get dressed and to find her hotel so her family doesn't go looking for her.
Fast forward a few months and she's moving into her apartment, her new roommates Lily and Daisy are unpacking the car as they take the plethora of boxes up the elevator to their new home for the year.
In Lucy’s hands is the last box out of the car, she waits for the elevator, excitement in her chest as she awaits the decorating process upstairs in her new room. She gets in the elevator and the doors begin to shut but not before someone slips in at the last second and presses the button for the floor above hers.
A very familiar “sorry” leaves his lips as they both look at each other with shock in their eyes.
A breathy “hey” left her lips as he stared at her in shock before a quiet “Lucy,” left his mouth, almost sounding like something of a relief.
“You live here?” she nods, “I'm moving in right now,” she subtly shakes the moving box in her hands as she smiles at him.
The elevator dings and the door opens, “please don't be a stranger, text me and maybe we can get coffee or something,” she says coolly as she walks off of the elevator and turns to him with a sweet smile.
But the second that door shuts her jaw drops and her eyes go wide as she stands in shock for a second before making a beeline to her apartment to tell her roommates.

does minji have friends outside of seventeen? If so does she hang out with them regularly?
Tumblr media
yes! she does have friends outside of svt and she treats them all very close 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️ ❪ click on their ship name for the tag ❫
★ 𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬
⌗ 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: sakura ❪ le sserafim ❫ – johnny ❪ nct ❫ mei nagano ❪ actress ❫ – changkyun ❪ monsta x ❫ miyeon ❪ g-idle ❫ – mina & momo ❪ twice ❫
Tumblr media
🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ – popularity ranking : 75% ⌗sakura + mizuki — mizura — 3 years
no one really knows how they became friends or when they did. some people think it's because of over-lapping schedules or because they come from the same country at some point
it's pretty common for almost every japanese idol in the korean industry to look up to mizuki because of her successful career; and this goes for sakura as well
mostly idol ❪ mizuki ❫ & fan ❪ sakura ❫ relationship but they have gotten closer due to hybe takeover
old interactions were just small scraps.. but fans LIVE for their interactions
mizuki definitely brings up kkura’s jpop era 😖 and begs kkura to dance along with her
Tumblr media
🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ – popularity ranking : 65% ⌗mei + mizuki — meizu — 1 year
met at the prada fashion week shows & got close because they’re japanese !
any seventeen concert in japan? mei is invited!!
subtle flirting on main but it’s all of awe towards each other
whenever the two meet, instagram lives happen or they comment on each other’s lives
mei wants to learn korean but they both speak the same language.. BUT mizuki appreciates it
Tumblr media
🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ – popularity ranking : 80% ⌗johnny + minji — johnji — 16 years
is there anything to explain? they’ve been best friends since 2007
whenever new carats / nctzens find their old couple photos, they go crazy and wonder when did that even happen. johnmi LOVE to confuse both of their fans whenever they meet.
even after they stopped d wording, they continued being friends and it never once really affected them after that
friendship bracelets omg 😭 each year they upgrade to a new one, so they have around 16 of them so far
whenever they’re in their respective cities, they visit each other’s family and make sure the other party knows the message their parents give them ❪ mama suh still misses minji ☹️ ❫
they go to each other’s concerts & become the biggest supporter they know
whenever they have time, they film tiktoks together or go live on wv and build legos LOL
Tumblr media
🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ – popularity ranking : 60% ⌗changkyun + minji — jiku — 8 years
honestly it was platonic love at first sight 🫡
who says minji can’t have a monsta x bestie too?
met with the rest of the mx members and felt more connected w i.m bc of their roots & close in age
biggest i.m fan omg 😭😭 when mx’s love killa came out, she posted it on weverse and made SURE everyone streamed it, along with his rap as well
participated in singing in a few mx songs with good guidance
INSANE VISUAL DUO. im telling u… pair these two up in a room with me and changkyun is coming out pregnant idc 🙄
gaslighted her into getting tattoos ❪ she did it willingly ❫
she uses him as a way to get back at jeonghan and hyungwon
Tumblr media
🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ – popularity ranking : 75% ⌗miyeon + minji — jimi — 2 years
miyeon always looked up to minji as an idol and had always wanted to meet her
when they did meet, it was like happy awkward? idk how to explain it but they have the same way of style & they’re lowkey twins
frequently meetings at miyeon’s dorm & friendship dates
the pair created quite the chaos as a few news articles were released since their friendship raised dating flags
minji made sure everyone streamed drive and participated in her tiktok challenges
whenever they meet at award shows, minji naturally goes to idle’s table and talk about their plans and other idol perfomances
Tumblr media
🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ – popularity ranking : 75% ⌗momo + mizuki — momi — 10 years
the second person mizuki has been friends with for the longest time.
while getting gigs at different companies, mizuki met momo and mina on her way to a japanese restaurant in seoul and chatted with her in 2013
every year they post friendship photos over the year and it really warms up the hearts of many onces & carats
when it was announced mizumo was happening,,, lets just say many were excited for the new content of trio
just like with nayeon, mizuki goes to momo’s dorm and just hangs around with momo or the rest of twice
main dancer trio w mina
Tumblr media
🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ – popularity ranking : 75% ⌗mina + mizuki — naki — 10 years
along with momo, mizuki met mina and they kicked it off as well
not as close close like mizuki is with momo but she considers mina one of her main close friends / circle
both ballerinas and they like to go out and indulge in some classic ballet training
finds mina so cute and is constantly under her instagram posts
when fans find their photos together, it’s like a shrine they have for them as they barely hang out with each other
main dancer trio w momo
Tumblr media
an — ❪ 🪁 ❫
yall while i was finding pics for each person. i giggled to myself like 3 times. changkyun is so fine like i want him to do unspeakable things to me 😖 johnny as well like whattt😭😭
fun fact: i’ve had so many eras with these two men its insane. can u tell i miss 3rd gen..
wanted to add twice but chaeyoung has been weird lately.. so i didnt add twice as a whole. idc if it’s been a long time.. i DO NOT feel comfortable with her. go ahead and complain, i am not changing anything.
srry if some are short ❪ esp. momo & mina ❫, going to write a relationship w/ mizumo so there’ll be more info there rather than here !

2023 Recap of Everyone’s Favorite Boy Group Girls
8:00PM || January 1, 2024
Tumblr media
There is no doubt that 2023 was a big year in the K-Pop scene, but there were moments with our favorite boy group girls that seem to have affected their lives greatly during the last 12 months.
Let’s take a look and see what has changed for them.
Tumblr media
MIYA - Graduation, Comeback, and Enlistments
BTS Miya had been on hiatus from being an idol ever since the end of the short digital promotions of ‘PROOF’ (aside from the 2022 Yet To Come concert and the last few months as MC of Show Music Core alongside NCT Jungwoo and SKZ Leeknow).
With the finals of her senior year in university ending in the first week of July, Miya marked the end of her idol hiatus by featuring on groupmate Jungkook’s single ‘Seven’ with a verse that surprised fans with its suggestiveness.
She then had her graduation, one all seven members of Bangtan were able to attend alongside her biological and her adoptive brothers. The BTS members posted a video of Yoonmi while they all gathered around her singing the song cover they had made in their earlier years entitled ‘Graduation Song’.
Not only did she graduate university, but it seems she graduated from the innocent makdungie image she had earned in her childhood and made a solo comeback for the first time since 2020 with a sexy concept.
Finally, the biggest change in Miya’s life may be the fact that she is facing life for the next half a year without any of her members by her side as the members of BTS all chose to enlist at relatively similar times in order to come back as eight as soon as possible.
Tumblr media
HANNAH - New Roommate, Song Writing, Styling
NCT Hannah admitted on an Instagram live towards the end of December how one of the biggest changes in the past year had been her living situation. Although living in the same building as always alongside the rest of NCT and WayV, her roommate situation changed.
For the first time after six years, Hannah and groupmate Mark stopped being roommates. Although Mark now only lives in the room next to hers, the space he used to occupy was filled by the one person Hannah likes to call her twin flame: Haechan.
The singular girl of NCT showed off her writing skills, filly taking over writing the lyrics for NCT Dream’s ‘Broken Melodies’ with some help from Mark. Though somewhat participating in writing before, this was the first time she had worked on verses that aren’t her own and worked on a whole song.
Hannah was also given the opportunity to become a stylist for the now 21 member group for the NCT 2023 comeback for ‘Golden Age’, ‘Baggy Jeans’, and the track videos and concept photoshoots the group had.
This opportunity extended to the NCT NATION: To The World concerts as well as to the Neo City The Unity tour which will continue into 2024. Hannah is rumored to be working on a product launch possibly for NCT merch of her design sometime in the following year, although sources are not 100% accurate.
Tumblr media
SERI - Kittens and Hollywood
TXT Seri is well-known in her fandom for wanting her own pet. She was fond of previous pets kept in the dorm such as Taehyun’s snake Aengdu and Soobin’s hedgehog Odi. She even expressed some affection towards Beomgyu’s parrot Toto despite having a fear of birds.
In the past year, the TXT dorm had earned a new pet to live with them: Seri’s cat Haengbok (or Bokkie, as called by her members). Haengbok was a 3-year-old cat that suffered a loss of home before Seri adopted him.
Haengbok not only accompanied them in their dorm, but throughout their tour as well. Members noted that, since adopting Haengbok, Seri had become less stressed and more efficient with managing her time and keeping herself on track.
Seri also faced a big opportunity in being presented the chance to sing for the official soundtrack of ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’.
On a track produced by BTS Miya, Seri was able to showcase a different color of her vocals as she showcased her musical background and brought the story of Lucy Gray Baird to life through the song ‘Can’t Catch Me Now’.
Tumblr media
ARI - Provider and Disney
Enhypen Ari has been the most quiet of the four in the past year, but fellow groupmate Sunoo revealed on Weverse live that Ari had taken a much bigger role in her family.
Beginning 2023, Ari had apparently decided to shoulder the tuition fee of her little sister for the rest of her school life. Sunoo noted that, while Ari’s parents told her she didn’t have to do so, Ari insisted she wanted to in order to repay them for their support towards her dance and now idol career.
Ari’s family financial background is not uncommon knowledge to many in the K-pop community, being a story of success through hard work and dedication. This fact alone was enough to make the community proud, whether a fan of her or not.
Ari was also given the chance to portray a brand new beloved Disney character by singing the Korean version of the official song of the movie ‘Wish’ entitled ‘This Wish’.
This was a showcase of Ari’s vocals that caught the attention of many people who only previously recognized her for her dance skills and stage presence. Because of this, Ari is now being seen as one of the 4th generation idols with the most star potential.
Tumblr media
The year proved to be one of growth for the four boy group girls, posing them with opportunities to be tapped into for the next year and many more to come.
We wish them the best of years ahead and look forward to what they have in store for us in 2024.

______________________________________
Las Vegas.
You were following the boys there for one of their concerts opening for Metallica, and you weren't used to the city.
The myriad of colorful stroboscopic lights in stark contrast with the pitch-black sky were starting to make you feel dizzy.
To make matters worse, the weather was saturated with unseasonably early heat that was making your head pound.
In the weeks prior to the show, the twins had had a bet going on about which one of them could find the worst looking hotel with the most ridiculous rooms ever in this city.
It was a thing between them, so Sam, Danny and you were absolutely oblivious of the location and of which one of the twins had won the bet.
The only rule you had set was that, whatever hotel they picked, it had to be absolutely the cleanest. You didn't want to share your bed with horrible bed bugs.
The taxi stopped outside a big white building that looked brand new, but, if you focused a bit better, you could see that the paint was stained and chipping and the shutters were slightly rusty.
"If this is the exterior, I dread the inside" you whispered, making Danny snort out a laugh.
You knew that you would never let them pick hotels again.
The twins led the way inside and you followed, noticing details that were proving your point and praying that the place would be clean, at least.
~
You followed the guys up to the 10th floor and everybody made their way into their respective rooms.
As you and Jake entered the one that was assigned to you, you both laughed at the choice of furniture and design.
The room was big and dark.
There was an enormous bed on the right and, in front of it, there was an inground jacuzzi with bubbling water and color-changing lights inside.
There was also a big painting on the entrance wall, just above the door, that was absolutely pornographic.
The walls and ceiling were covered in scrappy antique pink satin that looked dusty and dull.
The cherry on top was the enormous blinding-white neon sign that was hanging above the headboard of the bed. It wasn't on the wall but was dangling a few centimeters from it, making you wonder why.
It read "Kitten got wet" and it made you blush.
It was obvious it was Josh who had picked this one.
Jake approached you from behind as you were eyeing the sign and placed his hands on your hips, nudging you lightly with his, with a light chuckle.
"Is this room of your liking, Sir?" He whispered and you bit your lip, trying not to give him the satisfaction of having struck a nerve.
Again.
You couldn't stand it anymore.
Since that night when you had forced him to call you that under those circumstances, he kept teasing you with it every chance he got.
And you were starting to be fed up with it.
He had called you that at the supermarket, at home with his brothers and parents within earshot and even when you had met some of your coworkers out at a pub. He didn't seem to care if someone overheard him.
He loved seeing you getting all flustered because of the memories that simple word elicited in your brain.
Many times you had to restrain yourself from pinning him against the nearest wall and slap his pretty face.
But, of course, two could play a game, and you always got your revenge.
As easily as he used that simple word against you every chance he got, you found something that got him equally hot and bothered.
Whenever you could, you touched, grasped, pinched and even swatted his perfect ass, making him get all flustered and needy.
Every time he mocked you calling you Sir, you would sneak a little touch on his ass, making your hands linger just to piss him off further.
You also happened to find the most inappropriate moments to grace that part of his body with a gentle touch.
You did it while he was trying to be professional on a business call with their manager, when he was helping his mum in the kitchen and you knew she wasn't watching, even when he and his brother were bickering like children about a song.
That particular time he had completely lost his train of thoughts as you slowly passed by them and grasped his ass cheek.
You were almost certain that Josh had caught you that time, you saw a little smirk that faded away almost immediately signaling to you that he might have seen.
So, since that night you two teased each other constantly.
Now, you suppressed the little whimper that was trying to escape your lips and detached from him without a word.
He went back to the door to retrieve your suitcases and that's when you swatted his ass. Hard.
You started giggling and let out a screech as he turned around and started chasing you, pinning you to the bed by your wrists almost immediately, his body on top of yours.
"I swear to God, if you do that again, I am not responsible for my actions or of what my brothers are going to hear from this room." He threatened and you giggled again, making him glare at you.
"Don't make me tie you to the bed and leave you like that till after the concert tonight, love" He said in a hot whisper, nudging your cheek with his perfect nose.
You wiggled your eyebrows at him and he grasped your throat.
He didn't have to say anything else to make you calm down.
You loved teasing him but you adored obeying him, nonetheless.
"Good girl" he said and looked upwards, his brown eyes and tanned skin glowing with the white light provided by that dingy neon.
"I love this sign, do you think it is for sale?" He asked very seriously.
"Oh my God, Jake, don't even think about it" you deadpanned and he laughed, raising his hands.
"Kidding, kidding, I wouldn't want you to punish me for that" he whispered in a sultry tone.
You rolled your eyes at him and he winked.
~
That night after the concert, you found yourself with them in one of the many green rooms of the venue.
Their set had just ended and they were still high on adrenaline.
As they entered the room, Jake was leading the way, all disheveled and sweaty.
What a sight.
As he spotted you, he smirked, walked towards you and pinned you to the wall with his hips, kissing you breathless.
All you could taste was the deliciously salty sweat on his plump lips, his taste completely clouding your senses.
You would have greedily licked every inch of his body right there.
You grasped his hips with your hands and one hid under his jacket to trace the damp skin of his spine.
He hissed at the contact with your cool hands on his flushed skin.
You heard someone clear their throat and the spell broke, leaving you a blushing mess.
You had completely forgotten that Sam, Danny and Josh were there, too.
Jake kissed your forehead and grabbed a towel and a water bottle, drinking half of it in one go. A few droplets escaped the corner of his mouth and slowly dribbled past his chin, down his neck and to his chest.
You could have moaned right there.
He met your gaze from across the room with a strange glimmer in his eyes but you didn't see it coming.
"What got you so hot and bothered, Sir?" He said out loud for everyone to hear. Brothers and a few members of the crew included. Everyone's head turned to look at you as you started blushing like a tomato.
You froze.
Your brain switched off.
You couldn't believe he said that.
You refused to.
Sammy, being the little shit he was, was the first one who tried to make fun of you.
"Oh my God, really? I would have never imagined that out of the two you would be the one with a Sir kink" He snickered with a playful look in his eyes that signaled to you he wanted you to reply to his remark so he could deliver the final blow.
You didn't answer him, much to his displeasure.
Your silence served only to spur Josh to try and roast you, for what he had just heard.
"Let her be Sammy boy, wouldn't we want our sweet lady to spank us all, would we now, Sir?" He said towards you, winking, his pink tongue licking his lips in slow motion.
Danny came to your rescue.
Or so you thought.
"Shut up boys, or she has every right to punish you, am I right, Sir?" He said, and everybody's laughter roared up.
That sound was what shook your brain back to life and you faked a laugh with them.
You made eye contact with Jake and a smirk slowly appeared on your lips.
He would regret it, soon.
~
In the van, heading back to the hotel you completely ignored Jake. You sat opposite to him, not by his side like always.
When the van stopped at a red light, you were minding your own business when Sam let out a screech and a maniacal laugh.
He was looking out of the window, pointing to a shop on the other side of the road.
It was a sex shop taking up two stories of a brightly lit building.
In the windows were exposed all kinds of sex toys, in every shape, form and color.
"Look at that thing" Josh shouted.
He was pointing at a woman mannequin clad head to toe in leather, with a strap-on secured on her hips. It was very similar to the one you had hidden in your suitcase, but this one was way bigger, hot pink and had little flashing led lights incorporated inside, that covered the entire length of the silicone.
You heard Jake inhale sharply, but the sound was lost to the others who were making lewd comments on what they were seeing.
You made eye contact with him and you smirked, seeing the absolute panic in his eyes.
You wanted to make him pay for what he had said in the green room. But you would never expose him in such a way.
You only needed him to believe that you would have.
You cleared your throat and disclosed your lips to make him think you wanted to say something. His eyes widened and his breathing picked up slightly.
You smirked at his pleading expression, breaking eye contact and ignoring him for the rest of the ride.
~
As you got back to the room, he was on you the moment the door closed.
And he didn't seem to get enough of you.
He had you there, against that very door, under that enormous pornographic painting.
Then he had you straddling him on the bed, riding his hard cock while he spanked your ass and gripped your hips like your life and his depended on it, until you both came hard, making a mess on the sheets.
To cool down, you both relaxed for a while in the jacuzzi, the bubbles helping to restore your energy. Your muscles were feeling relieved in less than ten minutes there.
You grabbed one of his hands and started massaging it, feeling him relax under your simple touch. You did the same with the other and, once you were finished, he turned you around and had you lean against his chest. You were about to fall asleep in his arms in the warm water when he angled your body towards the tub jet on the plastic seat, making it land right against your center. You tried to avoid it but he was having none of it and was keeping you in place with a firm grip on your hips.
"What got into you tonight?" You whispered and he laughed.
"I don't fucking know, I just know I need you, again" He whispered into your ear.
You moaned his name and freed yourself from his grip. You knew how you wanted him this time.
You crossed the jacuzzi and turned your head to look at him, keeping your back towards him. With your chin on your shoulder you winked at him and he was pressed against your back in less than a second.
You bent forward, your hips propped on the edge of the tub and your elbows on the floor, your back arched and your ass exposed.
You heard him gasp and his hands landed on your butt. You felt his warm breath there before his tongue lapped sinfully between your legs. Then he parted your ass cheeks and licked at your hole, making you moan his name and arch your back even more.
"You look so delectable like this baby. Your body shines in this light. I wish I could take a picture of you like this, bent over and spread open for me with that damn neon sign above you." He whispered on the skin of your back while he rubbed his hard cock between your folds.
"Holy shit" he groaned as he watched himself slowly slide inside of you. The way your lips parted to welcome his length was a sight he could never forget.
You whimpered as he entered to the hilt and a little sob escaped your lips as he pushed further a bit more before setting a sultry rhythm.
"Fuck kitten, you are so wet" he whispered into your ear from behind and you both snickered at his reference to the lewd neon sign. His laughing was interrupted by you clenching around him.
He groaned and sped up his rhythm, shoving your hips harshly against the rim of the tub with every thrust. You knew those marks would sting deliciously in the morning.
You couldn't keep quiet, with every thrust a little whimper left your lips, bringing him close quickly.
"Kitten?" He questioned through clenched teeth.
"Almost there" you exhaled.
His hands left your hips, one thumb started stroking your clit rapidly while the other traced between your ass cheeks and skimmed around your hole, applying a delicious pressure.
"Jake" you whined and, as he bit your shoulder, you came hard around him, bringing him down with you.
His moans turned whiny as he rode out his orgasm and slumped, spent, against your back, still inside of you.
You both were a panting mess.
You noticed then that the floor was absolutely covered in soapy water and you started laughing till you both had tears streaming down your faces.
"I am gonna thank Josh for picking this dingy hotel" Jake said, still laughing.
You kissed him and helped him out of the tub, trying to avoid slipping on the wet floor.
Sleep creeped almost immediately on your spent bodies the moment you curled together under the sheets.
~
You woke up suddenly in the middle of the night covered in sweat. The temperature in the room was scorching hot and his body pressed close against yours was suffocating you.
You were angry, really angry.
You had just had a dream about him revealing your secret kink to the boys and when you woke up you remember it wasn't a dream.
He really did it.
He had exposed you in front of his bandmates and crew, letting them laugh at your expenses.
You were seething with anger now.
You knew he thought you had already forgiven him and forgot it because you had let him fuck you on every surface of the room.
But it was all part of the plan.
You were planning on punishing him because he exposed you in front of his mates, but even more because he had really thought you would do the same to him when the guys started commenting on the items exposed in that sex shop, back in the van.
He really thought, even if just for a fleeting moment, that you would have told his closest friends and family all the little dirty things he liked in bed, betraying his trust like it meant nothing.
You wanted to punish him for thinking that breaking his trust was your way to win an argument the easiest way.
You could have, but you would never do that to him.
Anger was making your blood boil, so you almost didn't hear him shift in his sleep.
He was sleeping on his tummy now, the sheets had slipped from his sweaty body, leaving him completely naked.
His breathing was slow and even, but, after a while, it picked up slightly.
Anger had erased the last bit of sleep you possessed so you started admiring every inch of his body. That was one of your favourite activities to do, especially when he couldn't tease you about it.
A little breathy whimper escaped his plump pouty lips. You thought you had imagined it but, some seconds later, you heard that again.
His hands slowly grasped the sheets near his face and his back muscles rippled under your attentive gaze.
You thought he was having a nightmare but, after some time, you noticed a slight movement of his hips paired with a low groan.
He started to slowly rut his hips on the mattress, his breathing becoming erratic and heavy.
You were watching him closely and wishing you could read his mind to see what the dream was about.
After a while, you saw one of his hands moving downwards, slowly slithering on the satin white sheets.
It stopped on his thigh and then, you had to suppress a moan when it inched upwards and gripped his ass cheek, making the muscle indent between his fingers.
He moaned loudly this time, rutting rhythmically against the bed, and you blushed.
Now you knew exactly what he was dreaming about.
You wanted to wake him up without startling him, but, as you skimmed your hand on his strong sweaty back, he stopped moving and turned around, on his back, but he didn't wake up.
He was hard. It rested proud and strong on his soft tummy, twitching lightly.
You moved closer to him, leaning your head on his hip and admiring him like it was the best view you had ever seen.
And he really was.
You were almost forgetting that you were mad at him.
Almost.
You started kissing and nibbling at his hip bone, slowly inching closer to his erection.
You heard him whine deep in his chest when you graced his already leaking tip with your parted lips, tongue poking out to say hello.
"Please" he mumbled, eyes still closed.
You took him into your mouth slowly and started sucking him delicately, swirling your tongue across his length.
"Fuck" he groaned as you took him deeper into your mouth.
He opened his eyes then, and slowly threaded his fingers into your hair.
"Baby, oh my God, just like this" he moaned, eyes slowly focusing on you between his legs.
You kept your mouth on him until he was a writhing whimpering mess and then, just when he was about to cum, you detached from him.
"What… what the fuck, baby" he whimpered disappointed and you laughed.
"Not so fast, Jakey" you said in a mocking tone making him furrow his brows, confused.
"I have so much more in store for you" you said ignoring completely his throbbing cock.
He was about to grip his length and finish what you had started but you swatted his hand away.
"Don't you dare" you told him in a clipped tone and he had the courage to roll his eyes at you.
You were on him in a second.
You straddled his lap and grasped his wrists with a bit of effort in one of your hand while your other grasped his hair.
"Don't make me repeat myself and stop misbehaving or, I swear to God…" you started saying through clenched teeth but he interrupted you.
"Or what, kitten, what are you going to do? Are you gonna make me call you Sir outside the bedroom, too?" He snickered.
Poor thing.
He didn't know what he was getting himself into.
You noticed again that glimmer in his eyes, the one he wore when he was enjoying pushing your buttons. It was part of the game and you both loved it.
You lowered to whisper in his ear and you felt him shiver when your warm breath grazed his skin.
"I am fucking mad at you for the trick you pulled in that green room. I am going to teach you some manners and I am going to reduce you to a whimpering mess, Jakey. You will love every second of it, I promise" you whispered, licking his lobe.
Your hand slithered under your pillow and you retrieved a little remote control.
When the boys had gone to soundcheck for their performance, you had decided to stay at the hotel to take a nap, in hopes that your headache would pass.
You were sprawled on the bed when you nudged something with your foot that fell on the floor with a low thud.
A second later the antique pink satin fabric of the walls started moving upwards, revealing walls made entirely of mirrors.
You had gasped and retrieved a little remote from the floor.
There were three buttons on it with three words on them.
The first one had the word 'Walls' underneath.
The second was called 'Ceiling'. You pressed it and the fabric on the ceiling started receding, leaving you looking directly up at your own reflection.
The last one had 'Lights' written underneath and with it you understood you could change the colors of the lights in the room.
You didn't know if Jake knew that little secret, but you knew you would use that in your favor.
Now, you pressed the button called 'Ceiling' and he gasped.
"Oh shit, this is crazy" he laughed, looking amazed at the mirrored ceiling slowly revealing itself.
"You are in so much trouble Jakey" you whispered and he met your gaze but didn't say a word.
You retrieved something else from under your pillow and showed it to him.
He whimpered at the sight of the burgundy slip of velvet you had purchased with him in mind.
With the idea of tying his wrist in mind, to be honest.
"Are you ok with this?" You asked him and he nodded, eagerly.
"Use your words, Jakey, or you won't get anything" you warned him.
"Yes, I am ok with this" he said but it wasn't enough.
"Yes, what, baby? Don't forget your manners" you said rutting your hips one single time against his erection, making him hiss.
"Yes, Sir" he said through clenched teeth as you kept your heat planted on his throbbing cock, without moving, dripping slowly around him.
"Scoot closer to the headboard, Jakey" you asked and he obeyed immediately.
You grasped his wrists and tied them together on the headboard so that he was propped halfway across it.
Then you sat back on the bed, with your legs parted on either side of his, exposing your wet dripping core to him.
"Now you are gonna watch me get myself off how many times I like. Then, if you behave yourself, and if I feel like it, I am gonna fuck you" you said in a defiant tone
He moaned at your words.
You lent back on your elbows and started touching yourself, slowly and deliberately, taking your sweet time.
You pushed your head backwards, moaning and making a show of it as you plunged two fingers inside of you.
Then you crawled on top of him and grasped the strap from underneath the pillow.
You dragged it across his lips that parted almost immediately to welcome the plastic. He sucked on it and whined when you dragged it away from him.
You resumed the same position as before and slowly dragged the sleak silicone across your flushed skin.
His eyes widened as you slowly inched the strap close to your entrance and he moaned out a loud curse as you pressed it inside your wet pussy. It went in so easily thanks to your wetness and his saliva, that you gasped at the sudden action.
You watched yourself in the mirrored ceiling as you fucked yourself, then you locked gazes with him through the mirror and you came hard.
He trashed around on the bed slightly at the sight, whines of frustration escaping his lips and hips slightly rutting upwards in search of friction but he didn't say anything to worsen his punishment.
You let yourself calm down from the high and then you pulled the strap out of you, placing it on the bed near you.
"So beautiful" he whispered and you couldn't help but blush.
You straddled his thigh, the hot taut muscle rippled under you.
He moaned at the contact, sounding desperate.
Those sounds spurred you on and you started rutting your hips against his strong muscle, enjoying the sweet friction, despite your overstimulation.
His cock was throbbing now, the tip leaking and swollen. You took pity and slowly lowered yourself to lap at him, gently.
He exhaled then, a relieved sound leaving his heaving chest.
"Thank you, Sir" he whispered and you sped up your movements on his thigh.
He clenched the muscle to help you reach your orgasm and, a few seconds later, you were cumming, again.
As you came down, you traced your hands on his heaving chest, caressing his nipples and making him arch his back.
"You have been so good for me, Jakey. It's time for a reward." You said as you started to secure the strap to your hips.
He moaned at the sight, wrists tugging lightly at the fabric keeping them bound.
You crawled slowly up his body.
The silicone was covered in your wetness and bobbing obscenely up and down, catching the light and his attention.
He licked his lips slowly, keeping eye contact with you.
The muscles of his abdomen contracted deliciously as he propped himself a bit more upwards against the headboard.
Your hips were close to his face now. You had something very specific in mind.
He was thinking the same and started to beg for it, like a good boy.
"Please, fuck my face" he whimpered, eyes squeezed shut and chest heaving, trying to stop himself from cumming untouched.
You traced your hands delicately over his face, pushing damp tendrils of hair away from his flushed skin.
Your thumb skimmed on his plush bottom lip, freeing it from the strong grip of his teeth.
In a swift motion, he captured your thumb between his lips and sucked on it, his eyes boring into yours as he swirled his tongue around it.
"Make a mess of me, make me drool around your cock, Sir, please" he asked and you couldn't deny him anymore.
Your knees rested on either side of his neck and his head was propped up against the headboard.
You nudged his cheek with the wet tip of the strap and he moaned, swiftly opening his mouth to encompass the silicone.
You moaned at the sight of him and he growled at your taste, your juices still covering the strap.
You started moving your hips, so that the silicone would glide between his perfect lips, without choking him.
"Are you ok?" You asked, genuinely concerned.
His burning gaze was full of love, passion and need as he nodded with his mouth full.
He started drooling around the plastic cock, the spit covering his lips was making them catch the white light of the neon sign as it slowly dripped past the corner of his lips and on his chin.
You noticed how the skin of his wrists was reddening and with a swift motion you untied him.
He whimpered low in his chest as the blood started to flow freely in his veins, again.
Suddenly, he grasped your hips, bringing them impossibly closer to his face. He gagged around the strat but his grip didn't allow you to move so you stayed where he was keeping you and you started praising him.
"You are taking it so well, Jakey, you are such a good boy for me" you said, stroking his hollowed cheeks.
One of his hands left your hip and went between your legs. He started stroking your clit rapidly as he kept drooling on the silicone.
Your moans filled the room as you gripped the headboard for leverage. Two of his fingers entered you and curled upwards making you almost slam your head against the wall.
The other hand that he had on your hip set a steady rhythm for your hips so that the strap would glide in and out of his perfect mouth.
You came hard, your juices were dripping slowly down his wrist. That feeling made him groan loud around the strap and you felt hot spurts of his release coating the flushed skin of your back and your hair.
You gasped at the feeling, pushing your hips away from his face to allow him to breathe properly.
"I am sorry, I am sorry, Sir" he started apologizing but you silenced him with a searing kiss, wiping his chin with your fingers.
"It's ok, shh, don't worry, Jakey" you tried to reassure him, his chest heaving.
He cursed loudly, tracing your spine and hair with his fingers and then laughed.
"Oh my God, I've soaked your hair baby" he said with a little blush creeping on his cheeks.
"It's ok, I am not mad at you, not for this, at least" you whispered on his lips, as he grabbed a towel he had discarded on the bedside table to wipe your back and himself.
He started rolling his eyes, but caught himself.
You sat by his side on the bed and you both tried to catch your breath.
After a while, your attention was caught by the little remote control of the room and you pressed the button named 'Walls'.
"You really have to thank your brother for this, Jakey" you told him as the fabric started moving from the walls, revealing more mirrors.
"Holy shit, this is crazy" He gasped and cursed under his breath, as the walls transformed.
You pressed the last button named 'Lights' and the neon sign turned a bright shade of red. Thanks to the many mirrors the red light bounced repeatedly across the room, giving it an almost hellish glow and wrapping your bodies in a fiery blaze.
"Fuck" he whimpered and you smirked.
You knew that he was genuinely loving all this.
You bent down to kiss him.
It started innocent at first but then he grasped your hips and dragged you unceremoniously on top of him, making the strap you still had on, press onto his crotch, making him growl.
He was slowly hardening again as you nudged him with the silicone, making him whine and moan.
"I am still mad at you, my sweet Jakey, so don't let your guard down, pretty boy" you whispered into his ear.
"I am really sorry, Sir, I didn't mean to upset you" he said looking up at you with big doe eyes.
"But you did it, and now you are going to face the consequences" you whispered, sucking a mark on his shoulder.
You detached from him completely.
"Turn around, kitten, on your knees, and face your pretty neon sign" you whispered in a sultry tone, licking at his lobe and swatting his ass as he turned.
He did as he was told and you made eye contact through the mirror. He looked absolutely indecent, with his chest heaving, his cock hard and leaking and his lips swollen and glossy.
"Hands on the pillow, if you move them I am going to stop." You warned him with a kiss on his shoulder.
"Yes, Sir" he replied swiftly.
You pushed his hair away from his back and started planting featherlight kisses down his spine.
"For the record, I am not punishing you because you let your brothers and crew members laugh at me, back in that green room. Well, that's not the main reason. I want to punish you because, in the van, you thought I would let everybody know what you like in the bedroom." You hissed in his ear, biting his lobe and his eyes rolled back.
You wrapped a hand around his throat from behind, feeling him swallow thickly.
"I could have, you know" your nose traced the line of his shoulder.
"I could have told them that you are my little dirty cock-drunk slut in the bedroom sometimes, letting me do unspeakable things to you, pretty boy" your tone lowered to a whisper and made a shiver run down his spine.
"I could have told them that my sweet little good boy likes to have his perfect ass ate and then properly fucked, right, kitten?" You kept talking and he whimpered at the filthy thoughts you were able to conjure in his mind with your words.
You didn't know what was possessing you, you certainly weren't used to talking like that. Usually it was him who did the dirty talking in the bedroom, you were too shy for it. But after seeing his reaction to your filthy words, you wished you had started earlier.
"But, I didn't, because this is our filthy secret and nobody needs to know, except you and me" you kissed his shoulder, suckling the skin lightly.
Then you pressed yourself against his back, rubbing your hard nipples on the flushed skin of his back and dragging the strap between his legs from behind.
He whined but he kept his hands planted on the pillow.
You sat back on the bed removing your body completely from him.
His breathing was already ragged and quick, the look in his eyes desperate.
"I am going to use my fingers now. Are you ok with this?" You asked and he nodded eagerly.
"Yes please, Sir" he said and you smiled to him.
"So polite, Jakey" you cooed and he blushed.
You wrapped your hand briefly around his throbbing cock and stroked him a few times.
He moaned your name, squeezing his eyes shut at the sensation.
"You are not allowed to cum until I say so" you told him and he nodded.
You traced your hands from his shoulders down to his ass, squeezing the muscles between your fingers. He moaned and rutted his hips forward in search of a bit of relief.
You let go of him and retrieved the lube from under your pillow.
You squeezed a good amount of it on your middle and ring finger and you slowly traced his spine with them, making him hiss at the coolness of them.
As you reached between his legs, you swirled them around his hole and he gasped at the sudden contact, his eyes never leaving yours in the mirror.
You slowly eased a finger inside and he closed his eyes, drawing deep breaths, trying not to cum.
It was your turn to moan as his hot skin slowly encompassed your finger.
You moved it in and out of him and he bit his bottom lip trying not to scream. His muscles clenched around your finger.
You pushed another finger in and, this time, he growled loudly.
"Fuck, please, just like this" he moaned, fighting to keep his eyes open and focused on you.
"Fuck yourself on my fingers Jakey, but you can't cum just yet, you have to earn it" you whispered against his ear, feeling him tremble.
He lifted his hips slowly and pushed down on your fingers. A deep whine escaped his lips as he repeated the motion again and again, your fingers pressing inside of him to the knuckle.
He let his head hang down but you quickly grasped his hair and tugged his face upwards.
"I want you to watch yourself, baby" you groaned into his ear and he cursed, keeping a steady rhythm with his hips.
His moans were becoming louder and louder, he was slowly unraveling, as he kept his eyes glued to your fingers, pushing in and out of his tight hole.
One of his hands slipped from pillow and you pulled your fingers out of him, suddenly.
"I warned you" you said in a clipped tone and he moaned desperately at the loss.
"Turn around, Jakey, lay on your back for me" you asked. He slowly maneuvered himself into the position you wanted him in and released a shaky breath.
"Still ok with this?" You asked and he gave you a gleaming smile.
"Yes, I can't wait for you to fuck me" he whispered and you whimpered at his words.
You slowly parted his legs a bit more with your hands on his knees, to comfortably sit between them, and you retrieved the lube.
You drenched the strap with it and, for good measure, you let a few drops land on your fingers, again.
You spread it around his hole and you felt him flutter underneath your fingertips.
You bent down to kiss him, slowly stealing his breath away as the tip of the strap nudged at his entrance.
Your lips drowned the relieved moan he let out when you slowly bottomed out inside of him and his eyes rolled backwards.
You kept your hips still for a while, letting him adjust and then pulled almost all the way out and back all the way in. He moaned through clenched teeth, eyes squeezing shut.
You caressed his cheekbones with trembling fingertips and he slowly opened his eyes, to meet yours.
You stole a kiss from him and then angled his face a bit more upwards with gentle fingers on his chin.
"I want you to watch me fuck your ass in that mirror, Jakey" you whispered into his ear as he looked enraptured at the reflection of your tangles bodies on the ceiling, biting his lips raw.
The moan that left the depth of his chest was almost animalistic as he watched with bated breath you snapping your hips against his, his lips parting to exhale little breathy whines, matching your thrusts.
At the same time, you got lost in the reflection behind the headboard and you blushed heavily, unable to avert your eyes.
He clawed at your hip then, with a pained look on his face. His features were contorted with the utmost pleasure and his brows were furrowed. His expression was the same he sometimes wore on stage when he kept grinding his hips against his beloved guitar, during his toe-curling solos.
You knew then that you would never be able to look at him the same way as before, without picturing him letting you do this to him.
His legs wrapped around your hips as your rhythm quickened. His ankles intertwined behind your back to keep you in place as he started to slowly unravel underneath you, pushing back against you with every deep thrust of your hips.
"Fuck…please…" He whispered.
"Hold it" you snarled and he squeezed his eyes shut, biting his lips so hard you were afraid he was going to draw blood from them.
You kept your rhythm, as he tensed. A little tear escaped the corner of his eye and you bent down to gently kiss it away from his temple.
"Cum for me, Jakey, my love" you said and he came almost immediately, with a wailing scream of your name, his blunt nails clawing at your skin and his back arching abruptly from the bed.
His release made a mess between your bodies. It landed everywhere on him, you and the sheets.
You caught a few drops that landed on the mirrored wall behind the headboard in front of you and you watched mesmerized as they slowly started to trickle down.
You collapsed on top of him, you both panting heavily.
After a while, you slowly slipped the strap out of him. He held his breath and exhaled slowly at the empty feeling.
You tried to stand to drain and refill the jacuzzi but he stopped you before you could move.
"I can't fucking move right now, baby. We will clean up in the morning." He whispered against your neck, sounding utterly exhausted. You managed to turn off the red lights before you both fell asleep.
~
You woke up some time later, with your head on his chest, his warm breath on your neck and a pain in your hip bone.
You slowly turned on your back, grimacing at the feeling of your skin still sticking to his by a mix of your and his dried cum and unclasped the leather harness of the strap from your hips. Your skin was raw and tender there.
You stood up on wary legs and turned on the jacuzzi, then you retrieved clean towels from the bathroom and made your way back to the bed.
He was still sleeping, his breathing was slow and steady. He was beautiful with his messy hair all over the pillow and his hand on his tummy. You grabbed the sheets and covered both of you as you waited for the jacuzzi to fill up with warm bubby water.
You basked a bit more in the warmth of his body and then, when you heard a low knock on the door, you stood up slowly, careful not to wake him. You wrapped your body in a soft nightgown and opened the door to retrieve the cart the waiter had left there with the breakfast you ordered the night before.
You slowly maneuvered it inside and placed the many trays on the floor, all around the tub, hearing your stomach growl at the sight of all that delicious food.
He stirred then, stretching out his sore limbs and slowly opening his eyes.
"Hi, love" he said, his raspy voice awakening a different type of hunger in your body.
"Hi, Jakey" you purred as you slowly dropped the nightgown from your shoulders, leaving you naked in front of him.
You took his hand and you helped him up on his feet.
A grimace overtook his features at the soreness of his body and you slowly guided him into the warm water.
He hummed at the feeling of the water jets massaging his aching muscles.
Then he noticed all the trays you had carefully placed around and both your stomachs growled.
You started eating a piece of chocolate cake and he dropped a few almonds in his mouth.
A smirk slowly made its way onto his perfect pink lips as he chewed, but he didn't say a word.
"What?" You questioned and he let out a belly laugh.
"I'll piss you off more often, if you are going to punish me like that, doll, and then treat me like this, afterwards. Are you going soft on me, baby?" He whispered in that same sultry tone that he knew had you dripping for him.
You swatted at his chest as he wiggled his eyebrows at you, suggestively.
You rolled your eyes at him and then, suddenly, you dragged your forefinger into the filling of your cake and then slowly spread the chocolate on his plump bottom lip.
"Don't get too used to it Jakey, I would still fuck you like a whore." You whispered and slowly dragged your tongue across his bottom lip, then kissed him, stealing his breath away.
You smirked as his cheeks flushed the deepest shade of pink you had ever seen on him.
Two could really play a game.

Grace's Relationships outside of BTS (Female)
Tumblr media
Halsey
Though Yoongi is Halsey's twin, Grace is Halsey's soulmate.
Grace was a fan of her music before they met in 2017 at the Billboard Music Awards. The two singers exchanged numbers that day to stay in contact
Will tweet at each other, regardless of what the tweet is. Grace once tagged Halsey in a photo of a bunch of flowers she saw because it reminded Grace of Halsey
The two of them sing the Boy In Luv chorus together and will be by each other's side during the choreography which Grace taught Halsey in the short time she was on set
Besties
Joked that Halsey had become the 'official girl' of BTS and Grace was going into retirement
Was the first member of BTS to congratulate Halsey over the birth of her son
Will have dates if their in the same city at the same time
Tumblr media
CL
Grace's favourite idol ever
Has always been a 2NE1 fan and continues to be. Tweeted from BTS' official Twitter when there was a 2NE1 reunion at Coachella
Though Grace is CL's senior, they are very informal with each other and are actually close friends
CL was the first person Grace went to about her relationship with Jin and whether proceeding was a good idea.
Both are not your stereotypical idol which is why the girls get along so well
Grace's background vocals are featured on a few of CL's solo singles but is never credited.
They have promised that one day they will release music together which would end K-Pop as we know it
Tumblr media
IU
The Nation's Little Sister & Korea's Noona
Powerhouse friends though very rarely seen together
Grace co-wrote and sang on IU's Into the I-LAND for the I-LAND show
They spend more time texting each other than they do seeing each other and have been to each other's performances
If IU is acting, Grace will send some kind of food truck for her and the rest of the cast and staff to enjoy
Their birthdays are two days from each other as well so they are very much sisters, often jokingly called twins
Tumblr media
Mamamoo
Grace adores these girls so much and she loves their music so much, she's often playing that more than anything else
She also loves the fact they've come from a small company as well and built themselves from the ground up. And she loves their message of not being the stereotypical idol because all the girls are different and beautiful
Grace is once again their senior and the girls of Mamamoo will always play up to that, especially at award shows. Bowing too much and referring to her as Unnie though Grace has told them often enough not to
Often hyping each other at award shows
Tumblr media
TWICE
While there's not much of a proper relationship between them all, Grace adores TWICE. She's admitted on live that she has three biases in Twice: Nayeon, Jeongyeon and Jihyo.
She has covered their songs on live as well
Is often seen dancing along in her seat when Twice is performing
Has also gone to one of their concerts and the group took a picture with her backstage
TWICE also revealed that Grace is their favourite member of BTS and one of their favourite female idols overall

DMC Questions Anon here!
This has always been on a "maybe" list of questions I'm not really sure if I actually want to ask or not, but decided why the hell not with Valentine's Day around the corner (I would ask on Valentine's day, but with my at least ten days between questions thing (which I still might be a teensy bit flexible with) doing that would mean I wouldn't be able to ask another question I want to ask when I want to ask it).
What are all your Devil May Cry ships? Which one is your favorite? Which do you think about the most?
Hi Ember, thank you for the ask! It's Valentine's, so I think I have a kind of obligation to answer this one today xD Sorry for being less active lately. However, I'm not out of the DMC woods yet, and I will try to participate in fandom week however I can.
Now, for the ask itself - I think the answer is rather obvious. DMC is primarily a family of losers drama, and I'm all here for it. Except NeroKiri and Sparda/Eva, those are adorable and we should appreciate them more)))
That being said, in a safe space, far far far away from canon, I really dig Dante/Lucia and Vergil/Lady*.
*Actually I think Vergil/Lady could be a possible post-dmc5 development too, or at least, I see their personal arcs aligning a bit past that point, cause both will need to adjust to 'normal human life', maybe they can go through that journey together. sadly the same cannot be said for Dante/Lucia, I think their opportunity in canon is far gone at this point, still I imagine they have nothing but respect for each other
Both of these will be adorable, also I can only envision the extreme 'double date' shenanigans, or, lord forbid, 'date advice' for or for twins. The romantic comedy potential in this far-far-far-away-from-canon scenario is completely off the charts. I'm surprised we're not talking more about this tbh.
Here be some date ideas, because I can be a shipping mess and I am legally allowed to today:
Sparda/Eva went to concert dates. I am all hands down for 'weird girl' Kyrie headcanons, and I am also both hands down for the same for Eva. She was a metalhead, maybe even a singer in a band. Even if she wasn't, you can pry my headcanon that she's the origin of the twins' musical talent out of my cold. dead. hands.
NeroKiri should go to a concert date too, for sure. But I think a sunset walk around the city, or maybe a fair would also be a good thing for them. Definitely cinema dates for these two. In general, they're probably good with any time spent together.
Dante/Lucia - Prime Soft Material TM. Dante is a prime gentleman when he wants to be, also Lucia is quite tender by nature. I imagine they'd have a good time on a botanical garden walk (Dante's okay with pretty much anything, Lucia would like something beautiful and educational). Maybe a picnic.
Vergil/Lady - wohooo these two are explosive. I imagine half of their time together is spent in a competitive mood, as both crave and thrive in it, and the other is them just... relaxing together somewhere, probably somewhere expensive, these two are classy. I feel like they'd be at each other's throats and head over heels almost in equal measure. If we're talking post-dmc5 scenario, then it's much more timid for them. At this point in their lives both are kind of tired of constant danger, even if the hunger for adrenaline will forever remain. It'd be a much slower and gradual process for them, likely developed over casually meeting or going on missions together. (Dante and Trish sniff them out miles away and squeal in true shipper glee on the inside) As for date ideas - vinery trip, maybe a literature evening (if Lady has it in her) or a theatre date. Last one seems the most likely to me.

Head empty, thinking about yandere Azul but he owns a casino. Totally not inspired by my recent trip to Vegas, haha.
Warning: Yandere. Gender neutral reader. 
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto was the esteemed and infamous owner of the Mostro Casino. When you ask most people, they can’t name a single casino owner, but anyone who’s anyone knows about Azul. If you’re a visitor, you’ll catch on soon as to why this Ashengrotto is a local celebrity. 
The Mostro Casino is the most successful casino on the strip, even with all the other competitors lined up along the same street, everyone flocks to the Mostro Casino. It has anything any tourist or local can want. It’s a casino with a classy aesthetic that has several floors of hotel rooms, an aquarium-like mall filled with common and brand stores not to mention bars, rooms for special events like concerts and such, a large fancy restaurant with a year-long reserve list, small fast-food places, and of course it owns the largest amount of slot machines and biggest casino floor. However, it’s grand luxuriousness and beauty isn’t the only reason the Mostro Casino is famous. The real reason it flourishes is because of its owner Azul. Rumor has it that if you’re lucky enough, usually by raffle because of the sheer amount of people that clamor at the chance to see him, you can meet Azul. They say that he’ll offer his clients deals ranging from paying off their gambling debt, finding them a job at his casino, or divulge secrets into how to win big, but any of his offers come at a high price. 
Azul has anything he could ever want, he was the most powerful man in the city, but you made him weak. Everyone saw Azul with his charming and unflappable business persona, but no one would believe that behind closed doors you had Ashengrotto wrapped around your little finger. In private, Azul was so clingy, constantly wanting to feel your skin against his, whether it be simple handholding or a cuddle session where he hugged you far too tight. He was greedy, he wanted all your attention on him, and if he would have to bribe you to keep you content then so be it. If you see something you want, it’s immediately yours, there’s no need to even ask, Azul is already purchasing it for you. He owns the casino, limousines, even a private jet, he really means anything is yours. Material girl.
Staying home in the grand penthouse at the very top of the casino was boring, so you played a useful role in this world Azul has built up. Often you wandered the casino, acting as one of the frequent regulars that visited the facility. As you shopped with the endless allowance Azul granted you and gambled as you pleased, you listened in to any particularly interesting conversations from passerbys. It wasn’t Floyd or Jade that found the most profitable and vulnerable clients, it was you. Which is why Azul even allowed you outside in the first place, because you were simply so efficient at bringing back useful intel that would make him thousands from a small handful of clients. Those same clients would miraculously earn a date to meet the casino owner and later wonder how he knew so much about them. No one knew Azul had a little angelfish working behind the scenes. 
Azul can be particularly cruel when he drops his business persona around clients only after he’s snatched up his reward and scammed them. Most of the time the wealthy people that visit him for a deal become poor with not a dollar to their name when they leave. You can bet that Azul will be using the money from the clients you find, to keep you content. 
When he’s in a particularly bad mood, Floyd and Jade immediately know to summon you. Oh, and they know you depend on Azul to sustain your way of living, and they hang that over your head. Wouldn’t it be a shame if Azul were to grow upset because you didn’t show up? Wouldn’t he begin to doubt if you truly loved him, and what then if he tossed you out~? In reality, Azul would never even dream of leaving you alone, the twins know this. 
In fact, it was the opposite way around. Azul was always scared you would leave him. This is why he would spend his fortune on pleasing you and spoiling you, it’s why he needs to see you every few hours, it’s why he calls you every hour, it’s why he’s always having security follow you discreetly for your safety, it’s why he clings to you so tightly and refuses to let go. Say... he’s built Mostro Casino to have everything a person could ever want. Azul insists there’s no longer any reason for you to leave the building anymore.

The mass shooting and fire at the Crocus City Hall concert venue outside Moscow on March 22 was the deadliest terrorist attack Russia has seen since the 2004 Beslan school siege. The gunmen’s actions claimed at least 137 lives and injured 180 others. The four suspects currently in custody are citizens of Tajikistan. But Russian authorities are doing their best to connect the attack to Ukraine. Sources in Western intelligence, meanwhile, say it was the work of the Islamic State-Khorasan, a branch of the Islamic State also known as ISIS-K. Experts note that ISIS-K has declared Russia among its main enemies (along with the U.S. and China). Meduza breaks down what you need to know about ISIS-K and why the group has Russia in its sights.
What is ISIS-K?
ISIS-K, or the Islamic State-Khorasan, is a branch of the Islamic State that operates primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Formally, the organization governs an ISIS province (wilayah, in Arabic) and reports to the ISIS caliph. Currently, this position is held by Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, whose four predecessors were killed in U.S. operations.
According to ISIS ideology, its caliphate, or state, aims to span the entire globe. The organization has divided the world into provinces, some of which are headed by local Islamist movements that operated before ISIS came into existence (for instance, ones connected to Al-Qaeda). In fact, ISIS itself emerged when the Al-Qaeda branch in Iraq severed ties with the global Al-Qaeda leadership.
Similarly, the Afghan-Pakistani branch of the Islamic State, ISIS-K, emerged in 2015 as a local movement. Initially, the group was composed of several thousand opponents of Afghanistan’s pro-American government, mostly Pashtuns, who were disillusioned with the Taliban. ISIS-K immediately started engaging in armed conflicts with the U.S. army, the Afghan government, and, even more brutally, with the Taliban.
The Taliban’s ideology fundamentally differs from that of ISIS. The Taliban aim to establish a national Islamic State in Afghanistan, while ISIS supporters advocate for world domination and the defeat of all “infidels.” Islamic nationalism won out in Afghanistan (and neighboring Pakistan), and by 2018, the Taliban (with the unofficial help of U.S. air support) had virtually destroyed ISIS-K’s organized resistance in the eastern provinces. U.S. forces killed several of the group’s leaders and, according to experts, the organization’s numbers were severely depleted, going from several thousand to a few hundred people.
Sanaullah Ghafari, who took over ISIS-K’s leadership, shifted the group’s strategy from direct armed confrontations to increasingly ruthless acts of terrorism against the Taliban, religious minorities, and Americans. During the U.S. troop withdrawal from Kabul in August 2021, he allegedly orchestrated a suicide bombing at the airport gate through which refugees fleeing Taliban rule were trying to enter. The attack killed 182 people, including 13 U.S. servicemen.
ISIS-K later expanded its list of enemies to include Russia, among others. On September 5, 2022, an explosion near the Russian embassy in Kabul killed five people, including two embassy staff. ISIS-K claimed responsibility for the attack. In January 2024, more than 90 people were killed in twin explosions in Kerman in Iran. U.S. intelligence confirmed ISIS-K orchestrated the attacks. However, Taliban agents allegedly killed Ghafari in 2023, and it’s unclear who’s currently at the helm of ISIS-K. That said, judging by the Iran attacks, its strategy remains unchanged.
Why Russia?
Radical Islamists have long accused Russia of being a state that “oppresses Muslims” both at home and abroad. ISIS propaganda regularly mentions Russia’s past military campaigns in Afghanistan and Chechnya, and Moscow’s intervention in support of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria put an even bigger target on its back.
ISIS-K leadership has seen the initial success of ISIS leadership, which capitalized politically on the global struggle against “infidel empires” such as the United States, China, Iran, and Russia. Prioritizing “external operations” could yield far greater political and financial benefits (in the form of donations) than working with local resources.
There are also deeper reasons for the particular hostility towards Russia. In recent years, ISIS-K has been trying to expand the movement’s ethnic base — both in Afghanistan and beyond. In the northern regions of Afghanistan, where many ethnic Uzbeks and Tajiks live, its numbers are growing. ISIS-K regularly threatens Central Asian authorities, calling them “puppets of the Russian empire.” In this sense, the struggle against Russia is a fight for resources: primarily for radically minded supporters in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and neighboring countries.
Was ISIS-K behind the attack?
There’s still no publicly available indisputable evidence that ISIS-K organized the attack. However, ISIS has claimed responsibility, and sources told CNN that the U.S. is in possession of intelligence confirming these claims. The New York Times also reported that Washington considers ISIS-K to be behind the attack.
Ruslan Suleymanov, a Middle East expert, expressed skepticism to Meduza about whether ISIS-K currently possesses the necessary resources to organize such a large-scale terrorist attack on the outskirts of Moscow. However, the attack doesn’t appear to have been “high-tech” in nature: the perpetrators clearly had problems with their escape plan, as well as with weapons. (In a video from the attack, sparks are seen flying from the barrel of one of the machine guns, which could indicate that either the ammunition or the weapons themselves were in poor condition.)
Suleymanov said it’s also difficult to confirm whether messages on ISIS Telegram channels are authentic as the group’s accounts are regularly blocked, forcing it to create new ones. The posts about the Moscow attack come from ISIS-linked Amaq News Agency, not from ISIS-K directly. In one picture, the four alleged “participants in the operation” are shown with blurred faces against the backdrop of the Islamic State flag. Amaq later released a first-person body-cam video that clearly shows the attack on Crocus City Hall, corroborating the Islamic State’s involvement.

hey for something new and different im gonna do something i havent done in a very long time and share a bit of my original sports fiction project. this is from the very beginning of it, not the actual opening-opening but very shortly after it. it helps introduce and get to know our audience surrogate character, hockey player jesse marvel who’s just been drafted and is about to start training camp for the team that drafted him, the minneapolis-saint paul phoenixes.
buries my face in my hands anyways here’s this
Since he started high school, Jesse has been experiencing a recurring dream. It happens every couple of weeks or so, to the point that it’s an inside joke around his family’s home that Jesse got another video call from his alternate life whenever he has it. 
In the dream, he’s at a concert, standing off to the side of a massive stage, grandly lit with an inferno of blinding bright lights. The crowd is enormous, the kind you’d see at Madison Square Garden or Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Thousands of blurred out faces gather in an undulating mass of expectant fans, ready and waiting for the show to begin. The anticipation is so thick in the air that he can taste it, a metallic aluminum-copper, the adrenaline emitting from every person there enough to raise goosebumps on his arms. He never knows what band is supposed to take the stage, and every time he tries to read the banner hanging at the back of the platform it’s like he can’t get his eyes to focus on it. Then the crowd starts cheering, a wall of sound sweeps in a tidal wave across the stage, and someone plants a hand square in the middle of Jesse’s back. There’s the quick jerk of a nylon strap around his neck, the whack of an electric guitar into his chest, and a shove that sends him stumbling out, unable to stop until he stands, centre stage, staring out at the crowd that he now realizes has come to see him.
At this point of the dream, a few things occur to Jesse at once. He cannot play the guitar and in fact has never touched one in his life before this moment. He cannot carry a tune in a bucket. One time, he’d been singing in the car and his little sister Brigit, who’d then been ten years old, had very solemnly pulled a five dollar bill out of her backpack and handed it to him, informing him she was bribing him ‘cash money’ to stop. And finally, in just a moment, he’s going to play a chord, or open his mouth to sing a note, and irreversibly, inescapably, profoundly let every one of these thousands upon thousands of people down. 
Jesse hasn’t had the dream since before the draft. He’d walked up on the stage when his name had been called, selected third overall out of hundreds of talented young players hoping this would be their big shot to make it into the League, and accepted the jersey and hat handed to him by the Phoenixes general manager without a single slip-up. It was the exact opposite of the experience in the dream. So much so that he’d thought maybe the dream had just been him psyching himself out since he really got serious about making the League, some kind of subconscious hazing he’d been inflicting on himself. 
It’s not until after the draft, when he’s milling awkwardly around the hall in a surreal haze surrounded by families in fancy clothing and reporters with flashing cameras and little recorder microphones, that Jesse realizes he'd been premature on deciding that one. If the dream was meant to prepare him for anything, it wasn’t the draft. It was everything that followed. Every day he steps out of the hotel room he’s been calling home for the last couple weeks, Jesse feels like he does in the dream when the shove propels him forward onto the stage. It’s like even the walls in the twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul have grown eyes, and every pair of them is trained on him. 
During the rookie showcase, there had been a reassuring degree of anonymity that had helped Jesse feel a little less like he was living a waking version of that dream. Every person there is in the same uniform, the Phoenixes standard gear complete with a blank practice jersey and helmet, none of which had a name or number attached. There, he’d just been another kid with skates on his feet and big dreams in his head, surrounded by fifteen or so others exactly like him. It isn’t until he’s at the first day of training camp, a freshly signed contract placing him in the slim ranks of players who were signed to teams their first year before ever playing a single minute of a game on League ice and a jersey screaming his last name in all-caps across his shoulders, that the feeling comes back. Everyone’s eyes are on him again, and this time it’s worse, because those eyes are the eyes of the Phoenixes.

Having recently posted my HSM4 fic here, I went back and reread all my old fics on fanfiction.net and thought others might be interested in them as well.
15 of the fics were part of a series called Extra Innings that were all written by me and a friend immediately after HSM2, exploring the relationship between Ryan and Chad that started with the baseball dance # “I Don’t Dance”. I also deal with Ryan's relationship with Sharpay a lot as well as his friendship with the other Wildcats.
See below for links to my HSM fics (in the chronological order of the show).
Inspiration= A missing scene from HSM1. Kelsi observes the Evans twins rehearsing.
Musical Auditions= Sharpay and Ryan discuss what musical they'd like to perform in next.
Fantasy Football= Ryan's decided to go out for the football team, and Sharpay realizes why.
Extra Innings stories
Wildest Dreams = Ryan is upset that his team didn’t win the staff baseball game, but running into the Wildcats—especially Chad—in the locker room afterwards cheers him up.
Hanging Out = After the baseball game, Ryan finds himself welcomed by a new group of friends.
Dancing Lessons = The dance lessons weren't going as well as either boy had hoped. Perhaps it was time to try a new tactic.
Fever = A sweltering dance lesson, a kiss, and the aftermath. [6 chapters]

HSM4: The Reunion = It’s the 15th anniversary of the best class ever, but the returning East High Wildcats aren’t quite as happy as they should be.

Marko headcanons? Please 🥺 am in much need of my trash baby cause am much sad
Of course, anything for you my love! I too am experiencing Marko brain rot!
Tumblr media
Marko loves pretty things, and by pretty I mean unique. Someone’s style, hair, makeup or lack there of. He notices all that stuff right away. It’s like he’s constantly searching for the next coolest person in town.
Cause we all know Marko is a platonic whore (as well as a regular one) boy could make friends with his eyes closed and his mullet on backwards. He’s just a really charismatic guy!
And that’s when he’d spot you, with your new blue hair! He thinks it’s possible the coolest thing he’s ever seen in his life. Before Paul or David can even tease him, he’s marching on over to you. Determined to at least leave with your number.
He probably uses the cringiest of pick up lines to attempt to flirt. “Are you a parking ticket? Cause you’ve got fine written all over you!” And don’t you for a second think it stops after just one. No, he makes it his mission to find the worst ones just to hear your laugh.
“Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?”
“Feel my shirt, wanna know what it’s made of? Boyfriend material.”
This is your life now. I hope you don’t mind a little golden doodle following around everyone, because you now have your own personal vampire body guard. The only time he’s not with you is when he’s hunting. He wouldn’t want to scare you off, but little does he know it makes him more irresistible.
Prepare for a lot of Paul time. Where on terror twin goes, the other fallows. He probably flirts as well, but Marko cuts him down with well places glares. He loves teasing Marko, and making you blush. So the behaviour again, won’t stop. Not unless Marko asks him too in the moment.
This man will drag you to EVERY concert on the board walk. If they’re selling t-shirts, prepare for a whole new wardrobe! Marko is a master Kleptomaniac. He could steal from five different people before anyone notices. What can I say, he’s got sticking fingers to go with the devious smirk of his.
Dates under the stars! He will fly you to the highest point in the city so y’all can look at stars together. He probably just picks up Chinese and turns it into a little rooftop picnic.
YOUR JACKET! That’s right, you heard me! Marko custom made you a jacket to match his iconic one. He pays attention to bands and colours you like and collected patches for months before gifting it to you. Sometimes you help him see new patches onto both of you jackets.
Dwayne whole heartedly approves of this. You mellow him out a Little. He’s not like a kid who’s on a sugar high, and claustrophobic, always needed to be on the move anymore. He doesn’t care how much you weigh, he’s content to have you sit on his lap. He’s a vampire after all, you weigh nothing to him. Get you a boy who can handle some skin!
David is wearing of you at first. But he sees how happy the two of you are so he lets it happen. But he’s probably had a chat or 100 about Marko turning you. David is impatient and would rather you be a fledgling than a human. Even if like Star and Laddie you don’t want to feed right away, he’d respect that. But he’s much more excepting of you after you turn.
And don’t worry, Marko would make it special. He’d be careful not to hurt you, and make sure everything goes smoothly. He can’t go with you, but Marko gives you an entire day to watch your last sunrise and sunset. He doesn’t want you to feel like you’re missing out by being with him. Please assure him your not, this poor Baby would have his heart broken if he continued to think that.
But you’re living your best life now with the boys, and Marko couldn’t be more proud of you. You’re Marko’s person, and he’s yours. And everyone respects that. Those other people better stay away, cause an angry hungry fledgling is not someone you want to piss off. You kill someone for flirting with Marko, he goes fucking feral.
Don’t expect to be getting any rest anytime soon. He’s keeping you up well I got he morning in that cave. Cue David yelling at Marko for his poor timing, why couldn’t he do this when they weren’t all stuck in the cave for the day.
Marko’s love languages are gift giving. He sees something that reminds him of you, it’s yours now. He’d buy the whole world if he could, but you’ll settle for an ice-cream and the random set of rings he thought would look nice on your fingers. But he’s keeping that one finger empty, so one day he can get you a real nice ring and start your forever together.
An: hope this was what you were looking for! I’m all soft and mushy now 🥺

This related to the other time Chalamet popped up in early 2023. In the spring, he was spotted on his way to Tito’s Tacos in Culver City. Notable only because the person he was supposedly with was Kylie Jenner, and the photos of each of their SUVs in proximity to the other spun around the world instantly, sparking rumours of a possible pairing.
Chalamet is not naïve about how celebrity culture works. In fact, besides living it every day, he is perhaps the foremost member of the first generation of mega-celebrity who himself was as internet obsessed with his favourite artists as people are with him. Kid Cudi. Leo. Etcetera. He is a product of that fever, in no way above it, and so he understands the desire to get close, to get all the way in. “I can’t say that this stuff doesn’t matter,” he said, “because my intense fandom has led me to where I am.” But he also bristles at the suggestion that he might not be entitled to a wholly private life.
When I told him that this is all a fair and practically inalienable right, but that if he really wanted to be left alone, he might not spend time with one of the four most followed people on Instagram, he nodded and chuckled: “This reminds me of that recent South Park episode with the Worldwide Privacy Tour,” he said, referring to a send-up of Harry and Meghan flying around in a private jet and appearing on a talk show to demand: We want privacy! We want privacy! “Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you’re trying to live a private life.”
"After months of dodging rumours, the pair confirmed them by attending a Beyoncé concert together in LA in September, then the US Open men’s singles final together in New York, and otherwise not shying away from being out and about and affectionate together in public. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, I couldn’t follow up to ask him what happened to his existential plea for this part of his life to be left offstage, but I imagine he might’ve just protested: “We want privacy! We want privacy!”"
If this is not Timothee defending what he has with Kylie and claiming that what the two of them want is privacy idk what it is. Also him still not supporting Armie even after being cleared by the lada and reducing the "deep and longer conversation" from the 2021 interview to a measly "I don't know. I feel distorted" 2 years later. Again that's why I asked if Armie's read the interview, bc it's clear that Tim's chosing the KarJenners over him and their twin flame bond and will never say something positive about him in public, not even after being proved inoccent by the law.
you’d be a fool to think so lol. at that time the two hadn’t even been seen together and he wasnt a “meme”. things were quiet and simply “private” like he “wanted”.
being asked how a situation affected him personally is different then what he thought about the situation itself. and i’ve said it many times he won’t speak about Armies situation because Armie doesn’t want him to nor is it his place nor can it be reduced to a few sentences in a article that can be interpreted differently because of the writing.
