im finally going to replay y0...
#it's been a little over 2 years#and ive never replayed any of the games before so im very interested in what this is gonna be like#i just played them slowly and in order + lad ishin at the end#i kinda wanted to do the judgments first but uh. they're never on sale <3#someday though#ugh im nervous though#not about this but like. ok real ones will remember that a couple of months ago i mentioned i finally asked my mom for like. mental health#assistance that wasnt her telling me to stop spiralling. the two appointments we could do were like. next week or october#i technically have enough time to get my shit together but ive also like. never talked to an actual doctor about this stuff before#and she kept asking me if i could be more specific than 'general longterm mental health issues' (and anxiety which she added)#but like. i dont wanna tell her Shit about that yknow#especially not like. just woken up at 2pm no preparation#also she added anxiety on her own. so you KNEW it was an issue and you didn't fucking do anything about it? at all??#truthfully i don't think it's nearly as big of an issue as before. i get stressed about stuff sure but it's pretty circumstantial#like these days i dont have anxiety about much of anything because im not trying to decide my entire future between 8 hour days in the#bright lights and eye contact factory#girl you don't have any idea what we're getting into by doing this#anyway if i get an ocd diagnosis that'll be the most awkward because that's the only one they actively joke about and that i've butted head#with them on. (i mean theyre also shit to npd/aspd ppl i just haven't chewed them out for it yet bc every time i do that i end up useless#for the rest of the day at least and i gotta pick my battles)#and idek what i wanna do about the Probably Autism going on man. i've been thinking about doing foster care/adoption for years now#when im older/if im ever financially stable. a diagnosis could basically nuke my options for that#but they'd NEVER believe a self diagnosis#whatever FUCK JT ITS YAKUZING TIME!!!!!!!!!#OH AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME DOING ONE ON LEGEND#which im nervous about bc i never really play stuff on anything but normal#so uh. 😬😬

I saw a video of a vampire bat drinking cow's blood and now all I'm thinking about is Carnis and Vampire/Bat Hybrid Darling- Darling has an unlimited and willing blood bag and all they have to do is take good care of them and reward them with treats every now and then. The price of junk food and candy is nothing compared to what they used to have to pay for warm blood before finding this poor sweetie in the streets. Carnis reveals their regenerative abilities the first chance they get to prove their worth to darling. Darling can sell their parts or put them throw any hardship if it means they have a home. Darling probably wouldn't want to hurt the poor cow more than needed and honestly feels a little bad for them.
Maybe Darling works at a shady blood bank and meets Carnis that way. A receptionist who turns a blind eye to what really goes around the office so long as they get their weekly payment of blood and cash. They develop a bit of a soft spot for the hybrid who stumbles into the building every now and again. Their clothes are awfully dirty and there's no telling if they even knew what a hairbrush was, but they always light up whenever they talk to Darling. It's probably because of the suckers Reader hands out with every visit, but the company is nice in this environment. They ask Darling what their favorite snacks are and brings as many as their arms can carry whenever they return. Unlike most clinics, the one reader works at has no limit for patients to donate and so they see Carnis quite often. They really shouldn't pry, but curiosity gets the better of them.
-
"Hey, this is like... the fifth time you've come in this week and it's only Tuesday. What would you possibly be wasting all that money on? - how you're even standing straight is a better question."
"candy... the nice man said...said I could have anything in his store if I bring some."
"Have you seriously been buying nothing but candy all these months?."
"No...no... gifts for you... remember? To show you I'm...I'm interested."
"Interested?"
"What he said... You're... nice.. gave me candy.. I like nice things. I like candy. I like you."
"....Ok, I get off in twenty minutes. We'll get you some real food and then I'll drop you off at home. It's not fair if we both have to starve."
"Home?"
"Yea. You have one don't you?"
The cow silently shakes their head. "Never..."
"Well since I'm pretty sure it's your blood that's been keeping me fed I guess the least I can do is lend you my couch for a couple nights. Sounds good?"
"Stay...with you? Sounds good... Happy... Thank you... Promise I won't make trouble."

We're talking about Narrative Tops who would LOVE to be Railed
@poetry-protest-pornography has decided to make top/bottom discourse a little less serious on this hellsite. Let me insert the disclaimer here:
(disclaimer: i generally hate top/bottom discourse, because it's so weirdly gendered and un-nuanced, but for the sake of this, we're going with narratively assigned sex roles)
And then let's talk about assigned BL Tops who would LOVE to be railed by their assigned BL Bottoms.
Bai Zong Yi from Kiseki: Dear to Me. No one is ever going to convince me that Zong Yi wouldn't be an absolute eager beaver to be underneath Ze Rui's fine ass. He's done his research. He knows how these things go and he loves to learn and Ze Rui is sort of a teacher. In my mind they be dipping and flipping each other.
Tumblr media
Win from Between Us. If I'm not mistaken, in the source material Team was very much interested in topping Win. Also Win's character just seems like the top to be versatile and not just strictly a top. Maybe he wants to have his face buried in the pillows every now and again and he deserves to get his back blown out. He literally takes care of everyone else, someone should take care of him. Also...let's remember his horny response to Team slamming him into lockers in that one scene.
Tumblr media
Xiang Hao Ting from History 3: Trapped. All I am going to say is that ONE scene where Hao Ting was straddling Xi Gu's lap and arching his back in the sluttiest way I've ever seen is definitely bottoming at some point. And I just know he would be LOUD! Literally think about Xi Gu having Hao Ting spread out more frequently then I would like.
Tumblr media
Payu from Love in the Air. I've mentioned this in a character analysis, but in my mind, Rain is topping Payu at least once a month. Rain and Payu have that sort of dynamic where the power goes back and forth and I know there are times when Rain is allowed to screw Payu silly. I just know it. Also...Rain deserves an opportunity to smack on Payu's ass.
Tumblr media
Nuea from Secret Crush on You. OK this one is canon and I'm just putting it on this list because not enough people talk about it. Nuea is such a stereotypical depiction of a top in dramas and I just love that he and Toh had conversations about switching it up. I love that Nuea also just let Toh know that if he wanted to top then he would have to be serious about it and actually put in that work and also be the one in control. Also Nuea has definitely expressed his interest in being taken by Toh (as long as he was serious about it). So this is real, it happened in the series and I just need for people to know that IdolFactory is doing good things.
Tumblr media
This is only a few. I could keep going...but then again in my mind...all the couple are vers unless stated otherwise.

Hiii, how are you? I hope you are doing ok! <3 sending love and hugs. I wanted to ask you... i think i remember something about tgcf having live action adaptation. Was that real or was just a dream i had or something? If it's real do you know if we will have it or what happened to the project? Idk if my mind made that up! sorry and thanks :)
Hiii Anon!
No, it's not some mad collective fever dream we all had, they really did film it (6 months of shooting between July 2021 and January 2022). Native title is 吉星高照 (Ji Xing Gao Zhao) English title is Eternal Faith.
If we ever get to see it is another matter, i probably don't need to say the main reason is because it's a danmei adaptation - it'll have a harder time passing the censors than the average cdrama. Since the popularity of other dangais it seems the censors have become stricter in any case. Job one is always going to be passing the censors.
While checking chinese websites and articles I did find several sources of a rumour that the site security punched a girl who was visiting the set. I can't vouch for the reliability of this but anything that can potentially attract criticism can delay a cdrama release further. Other criticisms include the casting of the male leads, how cheap the set design and costuming look, and a cancelled actress who may have to remain uncredited.
So it will need to satisfy the censors in order to be relased, as well as satisfy the general public and tgcf fans to be worth releasing and I'm not sure if it can do it all. If all goes well and it does ever pass censorship, we won't get a release date in advance. I don't know if you've ever experienced waiting for a cdrama release but you will not get much warning when it airs. It will likey drop with a couple days warning in form of internet rumours, or just completely out of the blue.
HAVING SAID THAT - another rumour is that a full costume bl drama like the untamed will be released internationally in Sept 2024, bypassing a Chinese release. It's just a rumour but it does make this webpage very interesting! But please remember everything above and not get too excited just yet 😂.
I'm gonna share some set photos just because 😍

Hot Water
MASTERLIST
Roy Kent xF!Reader
5 Times Roy Kent ends up on your doorstep even though you know it can't keep happening.
~~~
I feel like this was dragged from me kicking and screaming. It started out just a little smutty one shot and now it's a slightly longer one. I do hope you like it, I'm not sure I do but hey ho, there's always the next one! 🙃
~~~
Well. This was really fucking inconvenient. 
You’re literally laying on the bathroom floor. Underneath the fucking bath. Something, somewhere, somehow has sprung a leak and you’re resolved to fix it. You’ve even got your dad’s old toolkit out in the hope that wielding a tool might help. It hasn’t so far. It doesn’t help that you know approximately zero about plumbing. This is all just capping off a pretty fantastically awful couple of months to be honest. And although it’s a work day, and therefore your biggest problem is at the forefront of your mind, you’re going to have to forget the main reason behind your shitty time recently. Because this leak ain’t going to fix itself. You’re doing a masterful job so far - real professional. You’ve remembered to turn the stopcock off which is a big bonus. You nearly broke your hand doing it, but it’s done. You give your spanner an experimental jiggle over what looks like a loose nut, but as you do so, a spider runs over your hand. That little fucker is the catalyst for everything else. You squeal and pull your hand back, whacking first the pipe and then dropping the spanner onto your forehead. Whacking the pipe leads to the spider's little spider buddies coming out to find him, and you soon have one on its way up your arm and one in your hair. All limbs and spanner and spiders, you’re dragging yourself out from under the bath and shaking the little bastards off. Crying, of course, because what else are you meant to do when there are 3 spiders on you and you’ve just hit yourself in the face with a metal tool? 
It’s already 7am, you need to be getting ready for work so there’s nothing else for it, you can shower at work. Luckily, luckily , if you head out now you should be early enough that you’d be alone there. The lads won’t be there til 9am anyway, so it’s only the staff and possibly coaches who might be there any earlier. The showers should be free. You try and give yourself a spider once over, throw on a pair of joggers and a jumper over your PJ shorts set and shove half your life in a bag. You’re only a 10 minute walk from Nelson Road so you don’t bother driving. You head straight in through the side door and shout hello to the cleaner who’s at the top of the stairs to Rebecca’s office. Passed the locker room, and into the depths between the gym and the training pitch are the showers. You put your bag on the bench and pull out a towel and some Richmond kit to wear afterwards. As one of two sports massage therapists for the team, you live in joggers and Richmond vests. Boring but functional. You’ve seen no one, heard no one, but you’re still not keen on the idea of stripping off in a men's shower room so you’re absolutely keeping the knickers on. One less area to have to cover up. You hang up the stuff you need, put away the under bath grimy stuff you’ve just taken off, and switch the shower on. Colin was not wrong about that water pressure. You’re OK. It's OK. This was the right thing to do. A scalding shower with pressure hard enough to feel like you’re being clapped on the back by The Rock sounds like bliss. While the shower heats up, you strip off (except the knickers, of course) and grab your shampoo. That little bastard spider is not leaving babies in your hair. No fucking way. As a second thought just before you get under the water spray, you switch Spotify on your phone so you can drown to the angry sounds of Olivia Rodrigo. You’re getting pretty good at the speed on Good 4 U, though sometimes scream singing it does leave you feeling like you’ve run a marathon. You’re better at the unhinged wail you can really give to ‘bloodsucker, famefucker’ on Vampire, it just hits different at the moment. The hot water hits your body and you finally relax. 
 
~~~~~~
 
You wish you weren’t so outwardly affected. It was always going to go this way, you could have done more to protect your heart though - it would have saved you looking so foolish, and it would have saved a ruined friendship. That was the hardest part to deal with. You’d joined the staff under Ted Lasso and had built a great rapport with the players and the coaching staff. You considered them friends - all of them. Sure, you harboured a pretty big crush on Roy Kent, but it didn’t affect your work. You ignored those feelings, trampled over them and focused on getting on with your job. Notoriously slow to win over, he eventually became as good a friend as everyone else. The night of the West Ham game was insane. Ted was leaving, everyone was bouncing between elation over finishing second in the league and the prospects that would bring, and losing Ted. There were tears of joy and laughter one minute and tears of devastation the next. Ola’s could barely contain the emotion everyone was feeling. You’d decided to hit the road, everything was winding down anyway and the players were going on to an exclusive club which they’d invited you to as well - and you knew full well you wouldn’t have to buy a drink all night, they’d never let you do that when it was £25 for a double gin, but you didn’t want to carry the party on. You’d kissed whoever you could reach, hugged as many as you could see and air high-fived Sam from across the way. You stepped out into the late May night, it was still warm so you lingered outside with your drink while you waited for the taxi. 
“Oi, how come I didn’t fucking get one?” Roy asked, stepping out to join you by the window.
“Hey, you going to the club? Get what?” 
“A hug.” He nudged your shoulder.
“That’s my taxi. You always get a hug.” You slipped your arm across his back and leaned up a little to reach him better. “See you Monday.”
“You can’t go back in a taxi on your own?”
“Course I can, I always do.” You laughed, pulling open the door. He held it open while you sat in the backseat and slipped in after you.
“C’mon, I’ll make sure it gets you back ok.” You haven’t moved quite far enough along the seat so as the taxi driver rounds each corner, you're pushed further into Roy. “So everyone else gets hugs and kisses eh?”
“Only the people I could reach. Also, you just had a hug, stop complaining.” Another corner taken at a higher speed than necessary smushed you into his side. “Jesus, is this guy ready to finish or something.” He put a hand on your thigh,
“You ok?”
“Yeah fine.” The heat of his hand lit up your skin, the addition of far too many drinks made you feel flushed. You both looked at his hand on your leg and then back to each other, the streetlights illuminating you both and then sending you into darkness again. You didn’t know if it was an unconscious move or deliberate, but his thumb brushed gently in small circles on your bare skin. You’re sure he must be able to see your heart pounding through your dress. As he leans forward into you, his hand moves up just another inch and as you gasp at the sensation, he lightly kisses you.
“Here we are. That's a tenner please, love.” Roy goes for his wallet but you push his hand out of the way and hand the driver a note from your bag. He has to open the door to let you out, “you coming back in, fella?” the driver asks. He looks down at the hand which he held out to help you from the taxi to find he’s still holding it.
“No thanks, mate.” You’ve barely got the front door closed behind you before he’s pushed you up against it and kissing you with a fierceness you hadn't realised you were so desperate for. Your hands worked fast, pushing his jacket down his arms and onto the floor with a thud, and pulling him back to you by his t-shirt. The dress Keeley suggested for you is flattering, but a little more revealing than you’d usually wear. Shorter than you’d normally go for and with a low neckline too. He’s got one hand up in your hair and the other is back on your leg, halfway up the skirt while he kisses your jawline. His body presses against you and you can feel him, hard through his jeans. You bring up the leg he’s got a hand on and he hooks it over his hip, it tilts your lower body further into his and he is so close to where you need him it sends you dizzy. It's impossible to disguise the neediness of your moans and the hand that's up your skirt is moving further up to grip the fleshy soft spot between your hip and thigh. 
"God, Roy -," you whine, you rock your hips towards his,
"Sure you want this?" You nod against his shoulder, "Talk to me, babe," he asks. 
"Yes, yeah I'm sure," you're pulling at his t-shirt, dragging it over his head.
When he mutters "good girl," against your collarbone, you're certain you could come there and then. He traces the line of your knickers with his fingers, feeling just how ready you are for him, "fucking hell," he says, wrecked. He slips his fingers inside you and presses his thumb to your clit. He seems to know exactly what you need and just when you're at the brink, grasping for the release that's just out of reach, he kisses you. It's hot and rough and sends you right over the edge. He gives you a minute, a slightly softer kiss, but you don't need it, you only want him. Your shaking hands fumble with the button of his jeans until he takes over and does it himself, he's dug out a condom from his wallet. You're still fully clothed, still wearing the high heels that, with his help, have you at exactly the right height for him to push into you. It's everything. Everything you've fantasised about since the day you were introduced, he's the only thing that stands out from your first day at the club. In a room full of high-profile, well-paid, gorgeous footballers, he's the only one you see. He thrusts into you using your hips as leverage, the spike of your heel grazing the back of his thigh. Your hands hold fast to the back of his neck and his shoulder, 
"Roy, fuck, you feel so good." Your name is reverent on his lips as he comes and on hearing, you're there too. His pace slows as his hips stutter, and your head rests in the crook of his neck while you catch your breath. All at once, he's gentle again, carefully bringing your leg back down and making sure you're steady on your feet. He looks a little sheepish as he steps back away from you, taking you hands to help you stand up away from the back of the door, 
"You ok?" He asks, while you straighten your dress and pull it back down into place. 
"Yep, all good. You?"
"Yeah, yeah fine." He looked like he couldn't get out of there fast enough, his hesitation and unease rubbing off on you. "I should go though,"
"Yeah, no I figured as much."
"It's just been a fucking long day, y'know?"
"I know. Lots of crazy emotions." He must have seen the look of hurt cross your face, 
"Not that it was a mistake… but maybe, probably shouldn't have happened? Fuck, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be a fucking dick-,"
"I get it Roy. It was fun but it didn't mean anything." It didn't mean anything . Probably the biggest lie you've ever told and it's out of your mouth like you knew it had to be said all along. 
 
~~~~~~~~
 
On Monday morning, you were all notified that Roy would be named as the new head coach for Richmond. He obviously knew beforehand, so within 36 hours you'd gone from sleeping with a colleague to sleeping with your boss, and the sudden distance and desperation to get out of your flat became clear. Along with the knowledge that it definitely could not happen again. Not that he gave the impression that he wanted it to. The following week, you took yourself on holiday for a week with some of the team and friends, just a big villa and a private beach in southern Spain. You'd relaxed, eaten your weight in fresh seafood, and consumed more sangria than you should have. All week, Instagram was full of you and your sunkissed friends having a whale of a time. You returned feeling better about yourself and ready for a few easy admin weeks before the start of the season. And then Roy had shown up at your door. 
"Nice holiday?"
"Not bad… can I help you?" You're on your guard, holding the door closed against you. 
"Right. Thought I should check in, see how you are?" 
"As my boss, or?"
"Can I fucking come in or not?" You hold the door open but keep your arm in the way, childishly making him duck to get through. "Did the lads behave?" He asked from your kitchen. 
"Oh yeah. I slept with Jan in the pool, Richard on the beach and shared a bed with Moe and Tommy all week."
"Fucking funny," he didn't look amused. 
"Do I look like I'm laughing?" He did a momentary double take. "Course I'm joking. Bad enough that I've fucked the boss, isn't it? Jesus if word got around I might as well quit."
"Don't say that." He growled. 
"True though isn't it? You knew, and that's why you left in such a hurry. Quick and dirty. What was it? You'd wondered what it would be like, so thought you might as well give it a go before you started the top job?" He didn't say anything. "And now you're worried that I've been off having too much fun with one of the lads? Like you have any say whatsoever?"
"No. Fuck no. You can do whatever you want."
"I know."
"See whoever you want."
"I know."
"Will you stop arguing with me on this?"
"I'm agreeing with you. Boss." Somehow, you'd managed to square up to each other like you were about to hit him. It was still a reasonably high possibility until he closed the gap and kissed you. Horny traitor that it is, your body gives in immediately. "We shouldn't do this again," you hiss as he bites your shoulder. 
"So tell me to fucking stop." He grabs at your loose sleep vest and pulls it off, surprised to find you don't wear anything underneath. "And if you really do want me to stop, then you'd better tell me right fucking now." Instead, you walk him back a step to the sofa and push him to sit down. As soon as he does, you straddle him. 
"Do not fucking stop." You warn him, pulling off his t-shirt. It's the same needy, desperate and hot sex that you'd both craved last time, at least this time you already know that it shouldn't be happening. The difference is that it makes it even more intense. He does the same disappearing act as last time, leaving you doubting your life choices and questioning your sanity. 
 
~~~~~~~~
 
It happens again the next week. With so many people on holiday, Keeley organises a karaoke night for those who are around. It's lairy and a lot of fun, you sing a few songs including a duet with Nate. Soon, the challenge becomes choosing songs for other people. You can't even place the song Keeley has picked for you until the music kicks in, it's not until you're singing it and reading the lyrics that you realise how apt they are. 
"I'm yours to keep
And I'm yours to lose
You know I'm not a bad girl
But I do bad things with you
So it goes
Come here, dressed in black now
So, so, so it goes
Scratches down your back now
So, so, so it goes"
 
You catch his eye as you're singing without meaning to, and it's like lighting a fire in your belly. You know it's going to happen again. You still don't make it to a bedroom. Instead, you get to your knees for him just inside your flat and this time he's the one sounding needy and desperate. You've never heard Roy Kent of all people sound so wrecked and affected. Ever giving, he's utterly confused when you reject him afterwards and send him home without letting him touch you at all. 
 
It's this which brought him back to your door the last time, just over a month ago. You've been in a bit of a downward spiral ever since. It had been over a week since the karaoke night. Pre season training was due to start and you knew you'd be busy with rusty footballers who tried to rush their first decent stretch in weeks. You were exhausted after the first day back, your hands ached and you'd half forgotten what it was like to be on your feet all day. You're yawning your way through a takeout menu when the door goes. Once again, Roy is on your doorstep, but this time he has a bag of food with him. He brushes straight past you and into the kitchen where he manages to plate up two meals despite not knowing where anything is kept and you becoming mute. 
"Why are you here?" You mumble.
"I saw the appointment list for today. Thought you'd be fucking knackered." Once you’ve finished eating, he leads you to your own bedroom where he sits you on the bed. "This ok," he asks. 
You nod first, then follow up with a hushed, "Yes." He undresses you slowly, taking his time in a way he hasn't any of the other times before. He lays you back on the bed and settles between your thighs, you're in pieces even before you feel the wet slide of his tongue against your clit. He holds you down with one hand as you cant your hips towards him with a whispered "fuckkk," he gives your thigh a bite,
"Hold fucking still," you can feel him smirk against you. It doesn't take much for him to have your legs shaking, your hands are in his hair, dragging through the curls that have grown out over the summer break. You practically wail his name as you come, and if you've learned anything from the hurried, rough trysts you've had so far with Roy, it's that you definitely weren't prepared for the time he actually gets to take his time with you. He's watching you come down, boneless from your first orgasm, letting you think he's done with you before he goes back for more. By the time he's crawling back up the bed to you, the need to have his skin against yours is sinful. You can barely form full sentences, speaking only in single word requests, "clothes, more, now". He laughs, a low rumble that you feel against your ribs. He's equally as eloquent, but out to take an agonisingly long time with you. He pushes into you in long, slow strokes, his whole body weighted against yours. The closeness is both intense and intimate, and when he kisses you it feels so much like a promise your heart could break. Unlike the previous times, you don't part immediately while you both catch your breath. He shifts off you slightly but stays with his nose against your jaw and his hands coveting your body. He's the first one to say it. 
"This can't keep happening."
"We both keep saying that and yet here we are again." You sit up against the headboard, mindful to cover yourself up. 
"I know."
"But, you're right, we can't." You decide you need to be firmer, "I can't keep doing this." He nods and gets up to dress. 
"I'm sorry." He mutters as he leaves. 
 
~~~~~~~~
 
Roy is always consistently early for work. A byproduct of being awake at stupid o’clock to train Jamie, yes, but before that, he’s just always been early. Now he’s head coach, he uses the time to get the coffee going or makes sure Will is on top of everything in the boot room. Has a wander around and checks the gym or the showers for lonely socks, earbud boxes, or hats. More recently, he's just sat at his desk and moped for an extra half hour before anyone arrives and calls him out on it. Today, though, he puts the coffee on and starts in the gym where he straight away finds Isaac’s favourite sweatbands, Moe’s sunglasses, and one of Dani’s socks. It’s like picking up after a bunch of fucking kids. He dumps the loot in the middle of the locker room and carries on. He can hear singing as he gets closer to the showers and assumes that Jamie must have chosen food over cleanliness and has decided to save time by coming straight to Nelson Road after breakfast. 
 
“Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
Like a damn sociopath!
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you”
 
Yeah. That's not Jamie. But it's already too late, he'd been rounding the corner as he'd heard the singing and now, well… thank fuck you've got your back to him. He tries to back out of the room, but manages to crash into the bench and sends your phone crashing to the tiles, the music stopping abruptly. The noise has you covering as much of your body with your hands as you can while you scream like a banshee, the sound echoes off the tiles, and what the hell is the lump on your head?! 
"Roy! Fuck me, turn around!" His brain manages to click into gear enough to let him do that at least, but then it goes manic on what he's just seen. Or not seen really, his memory fills in the blanks though. "Fucksake what the hell are you doing?” You’re shaking, he can hear it in your voice. He truly scared the shit out of you. “I need to finish washing my hair, can you be trusted for 5 fucking minutes if I move my hands?" You ask, a little calmer.
"I heard singing, thought it was one of the lads."
"Oh so jumping them in the shower is also fine? Don't move. I'm nearly done. Ouch, cocking shitting fuck." Your voice catches and he thinks you might be crying.
"Jesus, are you alright? I've never heard you swear like that."
"I'm fine," you reply quietly. "Hit my head." He turned quickly, too quickly for you to cover back up, "Oi!" His eyes initially went exactly where you’d expect, then they flew up to yours and didn't move, but it didn’t stop you covering yourself up with your hands again.
"Sorry, sorry, I-" he crossed the room and brought a hand up to your temple which was sporting a painful looking purple bruise. “Was it me, did you hit your head when I came in?” You shake your head with a grimace,
“No, it’s been a fucking awful morning. I just-,” he’s close enough now that he’s going to be right under the shower head in a minute, and he can see that you are close to tears. “You’re gonna get soaked. Could you just go away please?”
“Don’t worry about me,” he goes back to the bench and retrieves your phone from the floor. He has the good grace to look ashamed that the screen is smashed to bits. “Fuck, sorry.” he kicks off his sneakers and turns back to you, “turn around.”
“No, I want to be left alone. Let’s not pretend you give a shit, Roy. Just go.” He pinches the bridge of his nose. This is getting stupid.
“Of course I fucking give a shit. Please. Turn. Around. You’ve hit your head, you’re freezing cold, you-”
“Fine.” You glare, “fine.” You turn to face the wall, no idea why. It becomes clear as he comes to stand right behind you, under the stream of water.
“Head back.” You lean your head back as he asks. His height over you means he has a direct line of sight down your body so you keep your hands in place as he washes the shampoo out of your hair. He avoids the lump in your hairline far better than you did, and now you’re back under the water, you’re warming up a bit. He takes his time, and as you close your eyes, his are drawn to the path the droplets of water follow over your skin, like memories of where his mouth had been. “Did you need to do anything else?” he asks softly. You shake your head, moving your hands and arms so you can still cover yourself but also bring a hand to cover your face, trying not to cry. He reaches past you to turn the shower off. He moves away but he’s only gone long enough to get your towel from the hook. He holds it out for you and turns his head so you can move your arms and step into it. Then he leads you to the bench and pushes your shoulders gently to sit you down. He disappears and comes back a couple of minutes later with a towel for himself and another smaller one which he passes you for your hair. You use it to blot the majority of the water out of your hair, breathing in the soothing lavender softeners Will uses. He’s busy watching you but you’re staring at the floor. With your hair a little dryer, he brushes his fingers through it to move it away from the bruise and take a better look. “That looks really fucking nasty. What did you do?”
“Spanner.” You mumble. He’s not speaking so you know he’s waiting for you to elaborate. “I have a leak under the bath I was trying to fix. A spider scared me so I hit the spanner off my head while I was trying to get out and then there were like three other spiders all over me and I fucking hate spiders and… I just feel like shit.” Saying it all out loud, you realise it all sounds a bit feeble, that you’ve overreacted. 
“Get dressed before you get a cold. I’ll be back in a minute. I’ll shout this time before I come in.”
 
~~~~~~
 
You don’t rush. You sit for a minute and try to gather your thoughts. Of all the people in the entire club, he was the one you’d least want to see you half naked in the shower. He’d have probably been top of the list only a month ago. You’re not even sure by this point what he actually did see, but it’s also too late to care now. It’s done so there’s no undoing it. And it's not like he hasn’t seen it all before anyway. You dry off and pull on your sweats, you’re just reaching for your Richmond t-shirt when he calls out to let you know he’s on his way back. He’s been to get changed, 
“I’m fine, you might as well get back to work. Everyone will be here in a minute.” He goes to challenge you again but you just don’t have the energy. You haven’t even had a coffee yet this morning, let alone breakfast. “Please, Roy. I’m fine.” You throw your wet towel in your bag and check you’ve got everything before squeezing past him and back up to the treatment room. You avoid everyone all morning, Katie offers to go outside for training so you can stay in. She goes out just before 10am, meeting Nate in the corridor. You have to pop to the main office to sign for a delivery and when you get back, there’s a mug of coffee and a paper bag with a pastry inside on your desk, along with some painkillers. The rest of the day seems to settle down. You work your way through the list of players who need some time with you. Jan Maas is last on the list with a niggle he picked up in training that morning. You’ve got your hands high up on the back of his thigh when Roy taps on the door,
“Hey coach.” Jan mumbles from face down on the treatment bench. You manage to get your thumb right where he needs it and he lets out a low groan. Roy raises an eyebrow,
“Alright Jan. You good?”
“Yes, she’s a genius” He hops up from the bench with a big smile. “You should let me buy you a drink, to say thank you.” 
“I’m fine thanks, Jan. Take it easy on your leg.” When he leaves, Roy moves to sit on the bench. He takes your wrist as you walk by him, pulling you to stand in front of him where he can check your forehead again. 
"How's it feel?"
"Like I hit myself in the head with a spanner."
"Are you done?"
"For the day or generally? Because the answer is yes to both. I'm going home. I need to… not be here." Not be around you . Is the follow up you'd like to add. I can't ignore it like you can, can't just pretend I don't feel the way I do. It’s getting harder every day. 
"I think you have a concussion. I'm pretty fucking sure you didn't want to vocalise those thoughts?" You go to slap your hand to your head, but he stops you just in time. "Don't make it any fucking worse." He rolls his eyes when you glare at him. The off season was so much easier. The need for contact between you both has steadily increased over the last month with the team returning. Daily meetings and progress reports on injuries old and new, the only saving grace is that he's stopped coming to you for his own recovery sessions.
"I'm going home." 
"Let me drive you."
"I'd really rather you didn't. Look, I'll be fine. I'll get over it, I just need to do it in my own time." You don't wait for a response. You take your bag and leave him sitting on the treatment bench alone. 
 
The first thing you do is fix the leak. It would be much easier if you were in the right frame of mind, which you're not, but you manage. There are no more spiders, but you end up soaked from the water left in the pipe which bursts out when you loosen rather than tighten the nut. You really don't know whether to laugh or cry from the calamity of it all. You're about to go for cry, but the doorbell goes and you're surprisingly unsurprised to see Roy. Again. 
"You know, it would be a lot easier for me to get over whatever this," you motion between the two of you, "is, if you could just fuck off and leave me to it?"
"Can I come in?" You turn to let him in, looking expectantly for him to continue. His hand rubs his beard and up through his hair, cut shorter since the last time he was in your flat - the curls gone. "Fucksake. You act like this is easy for me."
"Well you make it seem like it is." 
"It's not. It never fucking has been. Why do you think I kept coming back even though I knew, I knew it was a bad fucking idea?"
"You tell me? You're the one who walks out of here without a care in the world once you've got what you want?" A look of hurt flashed across his face, you knew it was a low blow, you had no idea why you'd even said it. 
"Is that really what you think?" He asked quietly. You shook your head. "All this coaching job has done so far is make me fucking miserable."
"It's only been a couple of months. You'll figure it out."
"It's making me miserable because I lost you in the process. You said earlier that I shouldn't pretend to care, but I don't need to pretend. I do care. Too much, that's the fucking problem." He sighed heavily.
" We can't keep happening, you're my boss now."
"Well, I've been feeling like this a lot longer than I've been your fucking boss, and I don't regret any of it."
"Feeling what, exactly? Because if you're about to fuck up your future-"
"I love you." You close your eyes. Your head is pounding again.
"Roy, think about what you're doing -"
"Tell me you don't feel the same, and I'll go." You shake your head,
"I can't," you whisper. "I can't. I'm in love with you too." He crosses the room and cups your cheek, checking the bruise on your forehead again before he kisses you. You sigh into him, "What are we going to do?"
"I'm the boss. As long as I'm not fucking you in the treatment room, I think it'll be OK." 
"That's a shame. Not even after hours?"
"Don't tempt me. Any objections to me waking you up every couple of hours to check you really don't have a concussion?"
"Depends how you plan to wake me?"
"I'm sure I'll think of something." He smiles, letting you lead him to the bedroom.

this thread is fucking long and the cut is in an awkward place just bear with it please
so werewolves are a stock horror villain (and the posts directly below this one are about that! go look at them) and don’t get me wrong i love werewolf horrorsmut but i want to see more of:
werewolves who just aren’t scary in any way. like sure the shift may be scary. they may look kinda scary. but they’re just people like everyone else even if they are more ruled by instinct than the average human. i think stuff like that is a nice way to explore what it means to be a person and how humanity can be a fluid category, especially when the werewolves in question are transgender/disabled/personality disorder coded.
like i want some wholesome shit about werewolves who can’t even pass as ambiguously human. they’re just very overtly werewolves: massive sharp, snarling bundles of taut muscles and sinew, 8, 9 feet tall, who are very capable of snapping and killing everything around them
but don’t. because they’re treated well and loved even though they’re not like everyone else. and it doesn’t matter that they aren’t, because they are like everyone else even if they’re not. i know that sounds a bit confusing on the face but i mean stuff like:
- “oh yeah no worries, Sharon from accounting’s a wolf too! no no we love her! remember when we went to topgolf for that company outing? they couldn’t find any clubs in her size so she outdrove us all with clubs a foot too short it was hysterical!”
- “all right you should be scheduled for this week! next two weeks are the same? no right of course not because you need moon days. yeah that’s totally fine i will get that in to HR and you should be all good!”
- “is- no it’s fine- is it ok if i stay shifted in here? the pain is less bad when i’m shifted. no i have no idea why lol. you’re sure? the shedding is ok and everything? aww sweetie i love you too!”
- “i mean, hip dysplasia is normal in wolves your age, and you had fairly active teenage years, so it happens. it’s not anything to worry about though, i’ll get you in contact with a fantastic physical therapist! no she specializes in wolf patients. she’s great at what she does, i promise. i’ll get you a month of painkillers but over-the-counter should work alright too. take these, go to therapy, and if it’s still doing that in a month come back and we can try something else.”
- “hey, baby, look at me. i know people are staring at you. you don’t need to care about them. you have just as much right to be here as they do. just ignore them.”
- “no i’m absolutely not mad at you! you can’t control that happening! no it was a full moon what the fuck were you supposed to do? look, i can replace the couch you mauled and the TV and vases you broke but i can’t replace you getting hurt because you tried to stave off the shift. we’ll go shopping for new ones together, ok? and we’ll get some cheap shit you can break for next month and a couple steaks for you to fuck up. i promise i’m not mad- hey get off me you big lug stop fucking licking me your mouth tastes like couch cushions…”
- “it’s actually so real to be worried about hurting your human partner in bed. you won’t hurt her, dude, i’ve known her for years you should be more scared of her than she is of you. they make, like, these rings. it’s like a silicone spacer- no it goes on your dick, idiot. it’s so you don’t like fuck into her cervix or whatever. supposedly those help? idk if they come in wolf sizes though.”
show me the negative stuff, too. show me:
- werewolves who muzzle themselves in cities even though it’s only a first quarter moon because they’re scared they’ll snap and hurt someone even though that fear makes them so careful around everyone they never would
- wolves who have moon trackers on their phone because they need to know when they’re going to get forced into a shift so they can get away from everyone because they don’t want to get violent but they can’t control it and the last time they were around someone she ended up in the hospital. she’s really understanding about it and they’re friends now but it doesn’t make it feel any less horrible
- wolves who get asked every single fucking time they get nice dinner, “so do you want your steak cooked, or what?” by waiters who think they’re funny but really aren’t
- werewolves who walk on eggshells in public because they know if they make any minor mistake or show any aggression whatsoever the pundits on the news will talk about “a werewolf snarled at my kid today. i mean i try to be trusting but you never know with those people. they have those fangs for a reason is all i’m saying.”
- werewolves who are scared to shift in public for the same reason as above, because they know how they’ll be perceived if they show people they’re a wolf
- werewolves who can’t find wolf doctors in their area so they keep going back to human doctors who don’t know how the fuck to treat their unique health conditions and when they complain about this they get a flippant “have you tried a veterinarian?”
- werewolves in therapy because their last relationship was with a human who sucked and it was really bad and that trauma has manifested as resource guarding and reactivity issues and it’s causing problems at work
i love this stuff. i want more. i also cannot write conclusion paragraphs to save my life so this is the end now. thanks for reading all this if you’re reading this.

COMMENTS AND REBLOGS APPRECIATED!!!
⊹ ꙳ ✦ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹
several years ago
“I think I’m gay.” You admit to your childhood best friend, Bella. The two of you sat in the school yard, parked under a tree.
“What?” She asks, forcing you to repeat the statement you’ve been trying to find the courage to say for months now.
“I think I like girls.” You further explain.
“That’s a sin. You can’t like girls.” Bella spits, bringing tears to you eyes.
“Bella-“ You say their name, letting the tears fall as they interrupt you.
“It’s a sickness, you can get help. My pastor will know exactly what to do.” She says, entirely seriously. Taking your hands in theirs, you quickly push them way. You can’t believe what your hearing.
“I don’t need help. I needed my friend to be there for me.” You stand up from the floor, overwhelmed by the entire situation.
“I don’t think-“ Bella hesitates.
“I don’t think we can be friends anymore.” Her words tremble like their unsure as they come out.
“I knew you were religious but this takes it to a whole another level.” You croak before leaving Bella sat alone under that tree. Part of you thought they’d come back, apologize to you after some time passed. That never happened, ten years of friendship over because of you opened your mouth about your sexuality. At the time you regretted saying anything at all, wishing you had just kept it bottled up inside.
The worst part was when their mother called a couple weeks after the incident basically outing you, offering your mother her pastors number. To your surprise your mom politely declined, she accepted you fully for who you were. It was a bit awkward at first at home but eventually everything went back to normal. That summer you attended your first Pride Parade and felt so seen that the coming school year you came out publicly. Considering the two of you were in the same grade you still saw them around, although never speaking to them again.
After a few years Bella landed her first huge roll in Game of Thrones, leaving your guys hometown behind. You didn’t have to see her face around anymore. Part of you happy for them but sad you couldn’t be in their life to support them. Only to remember they never supported you when you need them most.
present day
It had been several years since you came out, now living your most authentic life. Since then you had a few relationships, nothing too serious. Normally only lasting a few months before breaking up. You had graduated high school, started college shortly after. You got into the college you’d been dreaming of and the major you always imagined yourself as. Your college was a few hours from your home town so you occasionally saw people from there at your part time job. A couple days a week you were a barista at this cute little coffee shop right on the corner of the busiest street.
“What can I get you?” You ask blindly, going through the motions of a transaction.
“Y/N?” The voice on the other side of the counter asks, causing you to look up from the cash register. Looking up you’re greeted by the girl who you hadn’t seen since that depressing day. The day you lost your best friend.
“I can’t believe you work here.” They say, their voice warm.
“Yup.” You say flatly.
“What can I get you?” You ask, trying to quicken this interaction.
“The film I’m working on is filming just down the street for the next few weeks. I’ve been trying to find you for years, you have like no social media.” They admit, completely disregarding your attempt to not make small talk.
“Can I get you something?” You asks again, uninterested in what they have to say.
“Damn I deserve that.” They sigh before muttering off their order and paying. He walks over to the pick up area and you start making their drink. Every time you look up from your work they’re already staring. You can’t help but look too, they’ve changed so much. You’ve seen things about them online and people from your home town loved to talk about the girl who made it big. Always asking, “Didn’t you used to be friends with Bella?”
Once you’re done with their drink, you walk over to where they stand and set their drink down on the counter.
“Y/N wait.” They plead before you can turn your back to them. Against your better judgment you stop, briefly making eye contact. Saying nothing but signaling with your eyes to speak.
“I’m so sorry. I know what I did was shitty. I haven’t stopped thinking about that day since. While I’m still in town I’d like to apologize better like take you out or something so we can talk.” They explain, almost rambling their words.
“I understand if you don’t want to but here’s my phone number. Consider giving me a call or a text or anything, please.” They smile reassuringly pleading with you one last time, passing you a small folded up paper. They leave the coffee shop, drink in hand. You catch your self watching them leave, mind wandering on what you’re gonna do with their number.
Part of you wants to throw it away. An even bigger part of you wants to find out what would happened if you contacted Bella. Maybe their viewpoints have changed, it’s the least you can hope for. Against your better judgement you slip the small piece of paper in your phone case, deciding you’ll worry about it later. The rest of the work day is slow, painfully slow. Nothing to keep your mind distracted from thinking about Bella.
“I should be good, if you’re ready to take off.” Your coworker speaks, disrupting your spiraling thoughts.
“Okay,” is all you can say before rushing to clock out. Grabbing your belongings and thanking your coworker before leaving.
Once home you reach for the folded up piece of paper that’s been living in your phone case all day. You hesitate for a few moments before finally mustering up the courage to open it. All that is reads is their phone number, nothing else. You’re not sure how long your sat there staring at the piece of paper but eventually you decide to just shoot them a text.
you: hey it’s y/n
You don’t hear anything back that night. You stay up later then normal stressing about the entire situation. Imagining that it was all some elaborate set up, Bella’s sat up laughing at how stupid you could be to think that they’d want apologize.
The next morning arrives, your alarm goes off bright and early. You have a long day of classes ahead of you. You rush getting ready, picking out the most basic clothes you own. Not it the mood to try, exhausted from the lack of sleep from Bella’s sudden return to your life.
“Girl you good?” A girl you had always been friendly towards in your nine am class asks. You can never remember her name.
“It’s it that obvious?” You let out an exasperated laugh.
“No offense. Your just usually all dolled up and suddenly you look not dolled up. You just look tired.” She laughs.
“Dolled up?” You ask, curiously. For the first time truly noticing the girl who’s always sat near you.
“Yeah you always got them eye lashes and stuff. Not that you don’t look cute today, you always look cute.” They explain poorly. You can’t help but laugh at their way to describe makeup.
“Too tired this morning. Thanks I think?” You smile, she smiles back before the professor walks in and starts class. For a brief moment you forget about the lack of response from Bella. Too busy thinking about the attractive person who low-key just flirted with you. Only for that to be quickly forgotten when your phone vibrates from your pocket. You slyly pull it out laying it flat on your desk, where the professor can’t see. It is Bella, you catch yourself smiling at her name popping up. Stopping yourself immediately from having that type of reaction.
Bella: hey sorry I didn’t respond sooner super late work day only to wake up even earlier to work some more but I have tomorrow off so can we please get together
You decide you’ll respond but make them wait, not nearly as long as you waited. But you’ll stick it to them, make them wait till your out of class. The rest of the period is spent mentally drafting your response. Are you really after all these years ready to meet up with Bella? Maybe.
When class is over you shove all your belongings your bag, rushing to leave so you can send your text. Only to be stopped by that girl from before.
“What class do you have next?” She asks.
“Uhm,” You have to think about it for a moment too distracted by the phone burning a hole in your pocket.
“English in Butcher Hall at one.” You blurt out once you can remember. Normally you either go back to your dorm, grab lunch or study in the library. Today you had planned on going back to your dorm, knowing you weren’t going to be capable of studying.
“Dope. You wanna get lunch or something? I don’t have class till 1 too.” They explain, a smile on their face.
“Oof,” You say aloud, regrettably. The laugh almost as if they’re confused.
“I totally would but I got stuff I have to do before my next class.” You explain, sort of lying. Unsure why your lying just so you can hurriedly respond to Bella.
“That’s fine. Another time maybe?” She asks.
“Yeah.” You smile before walking off, back to your dorm room. They wave goodbye as you leave. When your out of their reach, you pull your phone out and type your message.
you: tomorrow works, I have one class in the morning. I’ll be done around noon. After that is ok
bella: sounds good wanna grab lunch at one?
you: yeah
Bella responds in a short time, sending you the address of a restaurant you never heard of before. You decide not respond anymore, deciding that any talking that needs to be done can be done tomorrow.
You had woken up early enough to actually get ready today. Or “dolled up” as the girl from your class would say. Thankfully you didn’t have that class with her today, knowing you couldn’t handle that along with all that is already going on.
After class, you walk quickly back to you dorm. Using the hour you have to dress cuter, fixing up your makeup. Mentally preparing yourself for the conversation that is about to be had. You pull up the address Bella gave you and it’s a cute little Italian restaurant. That’s always been your favorite, for long as you can remember. You wonder for a moment if they remember or if it’s just a coincidence. The drive is short, too nervous to listen to music. Letting your inner dialogue fill the silence. You park near the front door, looking down at the clock on your dash and you have a few minutes to spear. You phone goes off and it’s Bella.
bella: I’m here just let the hostess know your here to see me
All of a sudden it all starts to feel real. Your going to be having lunch with Bella after several years of no contact after coming out to them. It’s not too late to back out, you think for a moment. You have too though, you’ve made it this far. It’s a quick walk from your car to the door, you let yourself in. Greeted by a girl at the hostess desk.
“Hello!” The hostess beams.
“Hi I’m here to meet with Bella.” You explain.
“Right this way,” She smiles grabbing a menu and leading you towards the back of the restaurant where it’s more secluded. Pass the view of the back of the hostess head you can see Bella sat, scrolling through their phone. The sight of them biting their nails, puts some of your worries at ease. Knowing that they’re just as nervous makes this a little easier. Bella looks up from their phone, smiling brightly at you when they notice you.
“You still like Italian?” They ask.
“Yeah I do.” You smile because they remembered.
“I’m so glad you actually showed up.” Bella says examining you.
“After what I did I always thought you’d want nothing to do with me forever.” They explain, you quickly notice them fiddling with the table cloth.
“I’m so sorry.” They say now with a bit of sadness to their voice. Your not entirely ready to forget what happened but the sight of them is tempting you to forgive them on the spot.
“You know you haven’t grown much?” You tease as an attempt to lighten the situation.
“What?” They ask confused.
“You’ve always been so short and that hasn’t changed. You’ve cut all your hair off, I like it.” You let out an awkward laugh.
“We’ll when everyone is old and looks old I’ll still look young.” They laugh, you can tell they’re finally beginning to relax.
“Plus in my line of work it’s a plus. I can continue to play younger roles as I age.” They explain. Which leads to you asking them what they’re in town filming for. The conversation begins to flow smoothly, smiles never leaving either of your faces. You two order and wait for the food to come over. When the conversation eventually lulls, Bella’s face is screaming like she has something she wants to say but can’t get it out. You eyes dart to their fingers that anxiously fidget with the utensils in from of them.
“It’s okay,” You reassure them resting your hand on theirs. You feel them relax under your touch.
“I’m gay.” They spit out.
“Really?” You ask.
“Which is why I reacted the way I did when you told me. I’ve always had feelings for… women. I was raised to believe that it was wrong. I struggled internalized homophobia for years only recently coming to terms with my sexuality. I was so scared at the time.” Bella admits, your hand still rests on theirs. They look to you like they’re waiting for a response.
“I forgive you.” You respond.
“I would of done this sooner. Your just not the easiest person to find.”
“It’s fine Bella. Just promise we’ll stay in touch now, okay?”
“I promise.”
They did exactly that. For the rest of their time in town, when ever your schedules aligned you two we’re together. Or they would find any excuse to leave set and stop by for a quick visit when you were working. Getting to know each other all over again, you couldn’t help it forming a crush on them. They made you so happy, the most comfortable you felt around someone in forever. You finally got your Bella back.
Only for her to have to leave you after a few weeks. Her film was moving locations so they’d be several hours away. It was only for a month but you were so torn up about it. They had promised as soon as that month was over, they’d be back in your home town and visiting you as much as possible.
It was a bit awkward when that girl form your class kept making the moves on you. One day your finally let them down gently. It was entirely because of the slight chance with Bella you thought you might have.
You finally got your Bella back only to have separate again. This time though, you were friends. That month was spent on face time calls when ever you got the chance. Always waking up to good morning texts and not going to sleep until you two had a chance to talk on the phone. You can’t remember the last time you had smiled so much. Always checking you phone, biggest smile on your lips. All because of Bella.
one month later
“I missed you.” Bella says, wrapping you in a hug. Their head resting in your shoulder, breathing in your aroma.
“I missed you, more.” You tease. You feel them laugh in your embrace before pulling away.
“I may have got me an air bnb for a week or so.”
“Really? I thought this was just a weekend kind of thing.” You say, biting your lip trying your best not to smile too hard. Originally you couldn’t help but be upset when Bella flight was delayed, their 10 am arrival turned into 5 pm. You had thought half your time with them was wasted.
“We’ll you were wrong.”
“I’m glad.” You laugh, following them to your car. Helping them load their luggage. Bella pulls up her maps app and types in the location of the air bnb. You drive, listening to Bella talk about everything that had happened in the last month of filming.
“You’re so cute when you talk about your job.” You respond, letting the word cute slip out.
“What do you mean?” They ask.
“You’re cute. Do I really need to elaborate?”
“I guess not.” They smile. The rest of the car ride is filled with a comfortable silence.
Eventually you two arrive at their temporary home for the week or so. You help Bella unload and follow them to the door, watching as they unlock the lock box that has the house key inside. They open the door for you, you walk inside.
“Wow this place is so nice.” You awe at the beauty of the living room.
“You think this is nice? Come look at the back yard.” Bella leads you to the back yard, it’s so beautiful. Plants everywhere and jacuzzi, wishing suddenly you had brought a swim suit.
“Wow.” You say aloud, noticing the large hanging chair. Big enough for multiple people. It hangs over the deck, with the perfect view of the nature behind the house. Without hesitation you climb into the hanging chair, Bella watches you amused. You let out a screech when it move from your weight. Eventually you fall on your back, looking up at the stars. Bella continues to watch you, enjoying the view of you enjoying yourself.
“Are you not going to join me?” You speak up.
“I guess so.” You laugh at their attempt to climb up, their attempt causing it to swing and sends Bella landing closer to you than they had originally intended. When you didn’t pull away, they didn’t either. The two of you, sit in silence staring up at the starry sky. Eventually Bella is the one to break the silence.
“Can I be honest with you?”
“Of course.” You respond, sitting up on your elbows so you can see them better. They begin speaking, not daring to look at you.
“I said I knew Ialways had feelings for women. Like I always knew I liked women. The truth is I had feelings for you. When you said you were gay, I freaked out because my feelings for you could of become a reality. I think that’s the real reason I pushed you away. I knew I couldn’t be in your life as just a friend but also that I wasn’t ready to be out. I don’t if that makes sense and know I’m rambling. I’m sorry.” Bella finally gains the courage to look at you after their words.
“It’s okay.” You smile, biting you lip. Thinking this is the moment you’ve been waiting for.
“So you’re not mad at me?” Bella asks.
“Not at all. The real question though, are those feelings still there?” You ask, curiously. Your tone a little flirty.
“They’ve always been there. Bumping into you only reignited them. Then you actually said yes to meeting up with me, I couldn’t believe it. I still don’t believe it.”
“Believe it.” You laugh before closing the space between you two. Letting your lips kiss Bella’s for the first time. It takes them a moment to fully register what’s happening, shortly kissing you back. Their hands reach for your head pulling you in closer. You’re the one to pull away, needing to catch your breath. That only lasts a few moments before they’re the one initiate the second kiss. The two of you spend a few hours on the hanging chair. Kissing, laughing and talking about anything and everything. Only going inside because it began to rain. That night you guys stayed up so late, some time around 3am Bella asked you to be their girlfriend. You said yes.

Tumblr media
Everything had been going pretty well.
You and Ettore decided to give being in an actual relationship a shot. It was odd at first Ettore didn't know how to act or what to say, he felt off referring to you as his girlfriend and you could tell he wasn't fully into it.
For Ettore, he knew he was only doing it to keep you around. You wouldn't stay with him otherwise in his mind. If being your boyfriend was what he had to do so that you wouldn't leave him that's what he would do.
He tried his best and even did research about what normal boyfriends would do. He took you out on movie dates which would just end up being awkward as he sat next to you rigid. He tried to be sweet to you but it just came off cold for some reason. The only time he showed the smallest amount of intimacy and care was during sex and afterwards.
A part of you just wanted to end it. Go back to the way you were. But you were also scared, what if he decided none of it was worth the trouble? In a matter of seconds Ettore can find someone new and leave you in the dust. This thought scared you and wracked your brain. He could grow tired of you and find a new plaything in a matter of seconds.
So to make him think it was ok you acted like everything was just that. You tried not to show any discomfort when he was acting odd or pretended that the dates were amazing.
But as time went on you noticed his behaviour changing. Ettore insisted you moved in with him saying that that's what normal couples do after a while. You expressed that typically that doesn't happen for some time but he said you both wouldn't need to wait long.
Somehow without you ever physically saying yes you ended up leaving your old apartment and moving in with him. From there it got even worse. Ettore became specific about the clothes you would wear or when you would leave.
The issue is Ettore didn't think anything of the way he was behaving. Considering he was getting most of his information on relationships online and probably on the wrong side of it he was sure that what he was doing was working. And deep down it was helping him too. Every time you left in a revealing outfit he worried about another guy seeing you and you falling in love with him. Not to mention this was also how he saw the men his mom would date behave. Is this not how he was supposed to be?
When you were out too long he imagined you were on a date or secretly with some guy rather than coming home to him. He's scared that you want a softer love than he can offer. The worry tires him down just like his dark and possessiveness do the same for you. You're both on edge with eachother worrying about what the other would do if you were honest. It's become all too complicated and you regret ever agreeing to this.
You think back to the first and only time he has ever said "I love you". Although that he said he meant it you don't think he did. Ettore isn't capable of real love if anything he is against it. In his mind, the only thing that happens between men and women is purely physical.
So after 3 months of giving this a shot...you are ready to give up. But you know you can't do it like normal people. You know Ettore can kill people considering the one time you helped him get rid of a body. Would he kill you? If you tried to break up with him like everybody else on this planet would Ettore murder you right where you stand?
You had spent weeks thinking of what you should do...and finally, you think you found a solution...one you knew Ettore wouldn't like but could free you both of this mess.
Your mind was made up. You'd enjoy this last night with him and leave the next day while he was out.
You both had planned to stay home that night and just watch movies.
You lay on top of him as you both stared at the screen. You could tell he had fallen asleep as his breathing had gone from being controlled to relaxed. You took this moment to take him in for the last time. To truly get a look at him.
You slowly sat up so you were straddling him. You brushed some hair out of his face smiling as you remember the small argument you had when you tried to convince him to let you give him a haircut. He made it very clear he didn't trust your barber skills.
Ettore started mumbling in his sleep, something he does often. He shifts in his sleep his cock brushing against you in the best way.
Even in his sleep his a horny little man. His hips start moving more as his breathing gets deeper. You smirk lean down and kiss him gently. You get an idea in your head that you know he will hate you for but you can't resist. If this was going to be your last time fucking him you might as well make it good.
You get up to retrieve something as you walk away you hear shuffling and worry he got up but then you don't hear anything else. You get what you need and walk back over to the couch seeing he had flipped onto his stomach.
This works better for you as you gently grab one of his hands and cuff it before bringing the other behind his back to cuff it. Just as it clicks close you see him slowly open his eyes.
His brows furrow as he tries to move his hands. He calls your name with a tired and annoyed tone. You duck behind the couch covering your mouth to stop you from laughing out loud.
Ettore sits up rolling his eyes as he feels the cuffs around his wrist.
"This isn't funny." You get up and walk around the couch so you're standing in front of him. He looks up at you with a straight face. "Take 'em off."
You shake your head and get on his lap straddling his waist. He groans as you slowly grind down on him. He leans forward running his nose up your neck, something about your scent had him going crazy every time.
"If you wanted me to fuck you all you had to do was ask." He whispers in your ear as he lifts his hips up so you can feel more of him.
You yank his head back by his hair. He winces as he smirks.
You had never taken control before. When it came to Ettore there was no room for you to be dominant he liked to control everything. So this? This was an opportunity you could not pass up.
You tilted his head to the side as you kissed your way up his neck still grinding down on him. You listened as he gently panted in your ear. He tried to lift his hips but anytime he did you lifted yourself so he couldn't feel you.
"No moving." You switched to the other side of his neck. You gently bite down on his ear lobe before leaning back and sitting up to take off your shirt.
You move slowly as take the fabric off freeing your breasts. Ettore tries to lean forward but you push him back roughly. He gives you an annoyed look.
You lean back and gently rub your nipples in front of him. He calls your name in annoyance but you keep going. You stand up and slowly take off your shorts and then help him out of his sweatpants before getting back on his lap.
He was so hard that it almost looked painful. He again tried moving his hips and you once again sat up higher so he couldn't reach you.
"This is evil." He leans his head back. You lifted his head back up.
"Spit." He rolled his eyes to which you reached and pinched one of his nipples. He winced in pain as his eyes snapped back to yours. "I said" You lifted your hand to his mouth. "Spit." His jaw clenched.
But he gave in and did as you said and spat in your hand. You reached down and stroked him ever so slowly, gently running your thumb over the slit on his tip each time your hand came up. His head leaned back against the couch as he closed his eyes.
Ettore did his best not to move but it was so hard, you were going far too slow for him. Involuntarily his hips bucked forward as you squeezed him harder.
You quickly let go of him.
"I said no moving." You reach down in between your own legs and gather some of your wetness bringing it to your clit rubbing tight circles.
"Please." You could barely hear the words come out of his mouth. He looked down watching you as you slid a finger inside.
"Please what?" You started to slowly move your fingers in and out of you. You could never reach the same places he can but you could pretend it feels just as good to simply piss him off.
"Fuck baby- pl..please fuck me." He was so pent up at this point that all he wanted to was be buried deep inside you. You smirked as you removed your fingers and lined him up. You ran him through your folds repeatedly, and for the first time, you heard a genuine whimper come out of him. "Please please please."
Pride swells in your chest as you slowly sink down on him the second you're filled to the hilt he groans throwing his head back, mouth agape. An idea comes into your mind and...well since you were leaving anyway you might as well go all the way.
Ettore's eyes widened as he felt you spit in his mouth. You grasped his cheeks in one hand.
"Swallow." He stared at you for a moment before a smirk crept on his face. He would get payback later but for now, he'll play along. He swallowed before leaning forward to kiss you. You gave his tongue access to your mouth.
You lifted your hips just till his tip was in and sat down quickly. You moaned into each other's mouths as you repeated the same movement. Wrapping your arms around his neck you started going faster. Deep in your pleasure, Ettore lifts his hips to meet your pace.
You could feel him twitching inside of you as he got closer and closer. He knew you were close to him as he felt your pussy clenching down on him.
"F-fuck." groaned deeply and you knew he was just there. As he was about to finish you get off him quickly. "What the fuck!?"
You reached down circling your clit as you used your other hand to sink two fingers inside of you. You finished yourself off as Ettore watched. When you opened your eyes and looked at him he was absolutely livid and still horribly hard.
"You have to uncuff me eventually baby." He lifted his knees quickly so you fell against his chest. He licked a bead of sweat off your neck savouring the taste. You brought the same fingers that were just inside you to his lips. He opened his mouth as he sucked them clean.
You reached over to the side table and grabbed the key. You eye him before helping him to lean forward so you can uncuff him. You only got one hand free before he flipped you onto your stomach and shoved himself back inside you.
One of his hands held your head down against the couch cushion as the other pressed down on your back deepening your arch. He wasted no time slamming into you over and over chasing back the high you robbed him of. The only sounds in the room were your whimpers and the sound of his hips meeting your ass.
Ettore watched as his cock started glistening with how wet you were getting. His hips and your ass becoming a sticky mess.
He pulled you up by your hair the same way you had done to him and wrapped his hand around your throat from behind.
"Is this what you wanted?" The angle had him hitting that lovely spot inside you over and over. Your eyes were rolled back and all he got as a response were moans. "Such a dirty fucking slut." He squeezed your throat harder. "Fucking answer me."
"Y-yes!" His other hand let go of your waist as he reached in between your legs and pinched your clit. Tears fell down your cheeks.
"Yes? Yes, your a dirty fucking slut?" All you can do is wince as you try to squirm away from him but he has you tight by the throat. He turns your head and licks one of your tears. "Yeah, I know you are. Come on then. Cum for me baby. Soak my fucking cock." He let go of you and grabbed your hips with both hands.
Ettore watched as your body shook as you came. Your pussy squeezing him so hard, begging him for his cum. "There you go. So pretty when you cum." He started breathing quicker as he felt himself about to finish. He came deep inside you still fucking you slowly even after you both came, fucking his cum back into you as it spilled out. You whimpered as he didn't stop.
"Shhh shh." He soothed you running his hands up your back. He moved you to the side not pulling out as he got comfortable behind you. His arm was under your head as his other hand ran up and down your sides. He kissed your neck and nestled himself in its crook, you could feel his breath fanning over your neck. "Go to sleep."
Tumblr media
Ettore opens the door closing it behind him. He places a box on the floor before taking off his shoes and jacket,
Ettore notices how quiet it is which is odd considering whenever you home there's always some noise in the house. He checks the bathroom but you're clearly not in there. He has a gut-wrenching feeling and walks over to his dresser opening the drawers he had emptied to make space for you and your clothes.
His blood runs cold as he sees them empty. No clothes inside. He walks over to the closet by the front door and opens it. Your shoes are gone and your jackets are all gone too. Panicking he takes out his phone sending you multiple messages in a row demanding to know where you were and why your stuff was gone.
He paces around his apartment waiting for a response. No matter how many times she attempts to call you you never pick up. He leaves voicemail after voicemail but you never respond.
30 minutes later his phone dings. He almost falls as he runs to it hoping to see a message from with a lame excuse that will explain everything. But what he finds only breaks his heart. Though you tried to give him a heartfelt message it all went over his head.
His mind only focuses on the fact that you left him. You actually left him.
Ettore wasted no time getting his shoes and jacket back on as he left his house. He spent hours going to all your favourite places and where he would think you would. He didn't stop texting or calling and as he walked out of the last place he could think of he pulled out his phone and sent another text.
He waited a couple seconds before the message had an exclamation mark beside it and said it could not be sent. He tried again and again. He then tried to call you but it immediately went to voicemail.
"No no no." He kept trying and soon realized you had blocked him.
Just like that, he had lost you. The little light he thought he had found was gone and there wasn't anything he could do about it. There was no way he could get you back or track you down.
It sent him in a spiral. He starts searching for you in other women. Trying to see if he can get the same reaction. Two of them were dull, and two others fought back and were too dry for him. There were three others who he had been too rough with and he had managed to clean up their bodies well.
One day he thinks he finally finds one. She looks like you, dresses like you, heck she even talks like you. He was in the same bar as her watching from the corner. When she was finally leaving he followed her. She drunkenly walked home and made the mistake of heading into the park. Ettore made his move then.
He was rough and didn't even try to prepare her. He had hit her multiple times to get her to stop fighting back. When he was finished his dick was soaked in her blood and she was passed out. He sighed as it pissed him off that she wasn't anything like you. She didn't clench around him or cry in pleasure, just pain.
Considering he had some drinks in the bar, he made a drunk error...he had left her there...and that would be his biggest mistake.
Two more days had gone by before there was a knock at his door. He opened it not checking who it was and was met by police tackling him to the ground and arresting him.
The girl had woken up in that park and went immediately to the hospital without showering any evidence off. His DNA was all over her and inside her and that was all they needed to catch him. They tied him to the other three that had died recently and even got him to confess to two more he killed before he had met you.
Ettore knew he was going to jail forever. He would never get out. But that didn't bother him, it was the idea that he would never have a woman again that had him fucking livid.
By the time his trial was over he had been there for two months. He almost assaulted one of the nurses, just itching to be deep inside the poor unsuspecting girl, but he was being watched like a hawk.
There was no death penalty in the UK, so Ettore assumed he would spend the rest of his life in jail surrounded by disgusting men.
That was until he was called into a room where he was told he would be joining a mission. Ettore would head into space and do whatever fucking thing the guy said. He would never return to earth and would die up there. The idea wasn't appealing to him, he could give less of a fuck about stars and shit and didn't even want to entertain the idea. Until the lawyer with pants too tight mentioned it was co-ed.
His eyes lit up and he said yes immediately. Being on that ship was a better fate than being in jail. The chance to be around women again after months of testosterone was so appealing he felt his mouth pool with saliva.
He had never cummed by his own hand so hard in the past few months as he did that night. His brain came up with new material as he imagined the different women that could be on the ship. Surely some of them would be aching for the same thing. They had also been without sex for months just like him. At least one of them would be willing to give it up. And even if none of them were Ettore had no problem resorting to his old tactics.
When the morning finally came for him to leave this shit-hole prison he couldn't have been happier. For the first time in months, he smiled and laughed. The euphoria was all too much for him to contain silently.
That feeling died quick as he watched other inmates board the ship. And across from him sat someone he never thought he'd see again.
Tumblr media
Leaving was one of the hardest things you did. For the first two weeks, you kept contemplating going back to him but you knew that wasn't a good idea. You cursed yourself for not staying but then patted yourself on the back for being able to leave.
It was tough for a very long time. You started stealing way more than before. Your new apartment was filled with stuff you never even wanted but just felt the need to take. But it wasn't enough. None of it was enough to fill the new void.
You made some new friends. Delinquents just like you. They too had a fond for stealing and grabbing whatever they could. Although you had become a more quiet person they enjoyed your presence and your experience in stealing. So they eventually invited you in on their more serious adventures.
It started small. Robbing people at ATMs, breaking into cars, even robbing houses when the owners were gone. You had no interest in stealing money but being out all the time gave you less time to think about him.
The group had grown over time what was once four of you became thirteen. With this new large group the self-appointed "leader", Jarvis, came up with a plan for an actual heist.
You would rob one of the banks in your town. You told him you had no care for money and that you weren't interested in this. Unlike the other members, he didn't have anything on you. Nothing to blackmail you with. So he used his other assets. As he continued to plan the heist he would spend time with just you alone. He could tell you were lonely, he didn't care why but knew he could use it to his advantage.
It had been so long since someone had touched you and you were quick to give in. It wasn't the same as when you were with Ettore. Jarvis finished too quickly and did too little to get you to your peak. You often had to fake it simply because you didn't want to hurt his feelings.
But one thing was different. Jarvis wasn't scared to take you into public. He was able to give you the soft love you wanted from Ettore. He wasn't awkward on dates and didn't hesitate to hold your hand or wrap his arms around you. He even kissed you often.
So how could you deny him when he came to you and asked you to take someone's place in the heist. He made promises that with the money the two of you would leave this shit country and go somewhere tropical.
You believed him and you should have. Jarvis was sincere though you'd always think looking back that he had lied to you, he didn't.
When the day of the heist came you were prepared. He had spent the last week teaching you how to shoot a gun and running over all the plans with you.
But when shit went south and the police managed to get in the building without any of you noticing Jarvis ran and didn't take you with him.
Out of the thirteen of you, four of you died of gunshot wounds, three of you escaped and six of you were arrested.
Some hostages had died and after the trial, it looked like you would end up spending the rest of your life behind bars.
Jail was cold and boring. Your fingers were still sticky and you often got in trouble for it. But you never stopped, occasionally stealing other inmates' commissaries.
You had built a bad rep for yourself and people were starting to get sick and tired of you. So you were also quick to take the offer to get off this planet.
You didn't care if it meant you would never come back. You had given so much to this planet and never got anything in return but heartbreak, pain and fucking depression. You'd much rather die staring at the beauty of space than the faces of women who want you dead.
Getting on that ship felt like confirmation of what you're doing. There was no turning back and even if you wanted to you didn't really have a choice. This was the only version of the death penalty they could give you so thats what you were getting.
You were sat in a chair as the man in front of you started strapping you in. Once he was done he moved on to the next person who was sitting next to you.
As you looked up in front of you your heart dropped to your damn toenails. Ettore sat in front of you with the same shocked expression. You watched as that expression went from something of a shock to happiness to anger then to lust.
You both sat there staring at each other as the rest of the inmates were brought on board and strapped in.
Your name was then called a couple of times but you were too focused on Ettore to even hear anything.
You felt a hand touch your thigh and turned your head to see who it was. Clearly whatever higher power there was wanted to torment the fuck out of you.
Jarvis sat next to you with a smile on his face. You looked back over to Ettore who now wore a look of pure rage.
"Shit..."

Ok so here are my thoughts about the other stuff that happened yesterday because there’s 60 asks in my inbox and it feels a little mean to not acknowledge them. But because there’s 60 and it would take me 3 months to answer, I’m just going to give you my thoughts after you gave me yours instead of answering each ask separately.
As usual - don’t click ‘keep reading’ if you don’t want PR and relationship talk. These are my personal takes, I’m not saying they’re correct.
GT and DT
What happened yesterday was probably the most blatant PR they could have went for and it was so obvious and over the top that instead of making me go “aww” it made me go “when is the new project?”
There is a lot of power in subtlety. It feels real, soft, loveable. That’s what real couples do. They don’t have the need to promote their relationship to gain something out of it. But starting with DT name dropping GT during interviews, then the day of BAFTAs starting with paid for articles about the wife of the host, about things that happened many years ago, just to have an excuse to write about her, and then screaming omg cameras let’s kiss right in front of them - it’s insincere. It’s a show. Things like that happen for a reason. It’s the most basic PR move.
My guesses are;
> GT wants to come back to acting or basically have some sort of project so DT used the moment to bring attention to her. Helped her start off again. Remember also The Way was released today, just one day after BAFTAs.
> Or perhaps it was basically DT thinking you know what, I want to share this special day with the wife and the husband - so he had the articles written about GT and did the kiss, and then did the sketch and met with MS in the audience - he knew articles will be written about this too.
It will be verified soon enough - if GT announces anything that will be the reason for all the promo lately. If not - my guess is the other reason.
It’s quite clever really because DT gave her general visibility and then he made a whole show with Michael in a room with some of the best directors, producers, actors, castings… Look at us and how fantastic we are together! (Give DT and MS jobs together! 😂)
Well, also, he didn’t need to choose a plus one between GT and MS, clever bastard 😂 He had both with him on such an important night for him.
We all joke about what happened yesterday and how inseparable MS and DT are but this really was DT ensuring the spotlight is on his wife and his husband that night and they’re a significant part of his night. They’re both really important to him in whatever way you choose to believe. This is the two people he wanted to share the night with.
Media knows. Have you noticed there were a few close ups of Michael and nobody else? Not even GT, and definitely not AL.
AL and MS
Uh oh are we ready for this conversation.
I watched the Red Carpet. I think there are two problems - MS has checked out a long time ago, and AL has no idea what to do with herself but she wants *fame* and to meet celebrities.
I saw MS on a red carpet with someone he actually adores. It was a striking difference. That was DT. That was MS who showed off his partner, laughed, chatted, giggled, made him feel at ease, made sure the attention was on the slightly overwhelmed and excited DT, steered him a little. His arm around him was strong. He was there for him completely.
There’s none of that with AL.
I think what makes the awkwardness even worse is that she wants to be a supermodel but she’s actually too self conscious for cameras. She doesn’t know how to pose, she’s stiff, she doesn’t know if to open her mouth or not - she doesn’t have the confidence to just smile and be herself because what she worries the most about is the final product. So every time it comes out like there’s nothing between the ears. Like a puppet.
There’s actually quite a simple comparison - DT and GT on the same day. As far as I’m aware GT finds red carpets stressful and usually avoids them - but what did DT do? He kept on talking and making her laugh so she’d relax and so they got a few good shots. But that’s people who clearly share sympathy and respect for each other.
Now the elephant in the room - AL not being in the sketch.
I’m waiting for some beautiful excuse so I won’t be surprised we will get it but my guesses are;
> The simplest one - BAFTAs said VIP only. GT probably only got the line because she’s the host’s wife and so AL had no chance just being a partner of MS.
> Cheekier one - It was David’s night and like I said before, he wanted his people in it. AL isn’t one of them. He knows she’s not really MS’s either. We know GT/AL wife thing is bullshit.
> Honestly, maybe even Michael said he doesn’t want her. This is the man who’s been showing left and right he is not happy so…
> Well, anyway, let’s say this - I think if they wanted her to be in it, she would had been in it.
I will admit - damn that was cold and I’m not surprised she’s slightly lashing out today.
But you know what, I’m happy. I’m happy that David has a video with Michael to celebrate his BAFTAs. That he didn’t need to “give in” at any point. This was his night, he slayed it, he has fantastic memories for the rest of his life.
And the reviews have been fantastic so I see a return for him in the future.
And freaking hell I hope there are tv shows and movies being written for MS/DT as we speak.

You have been working on your dissertation for some time now, hoping to finish it as soon as possible and be able to focus only on preparing yourself for its exposition during the weeks prior to your graduation. Thankfully, you’ve been able to secure yourself a place in Professor Maximoff’s list, feeling happy to be able to work with one of the most competent and notorious academics of your entire university. You also may or may not have had a small crush on her since that time she read your essay to all of her classes and called you “inspirational”, but that’s a completely separate thing.
You actually pride yourself in being able to keep the intellectual admiration and the simple schoolgirl crush you have for this woman very separate, or so you did.
You still vividly remember what an experience it was the first time you had to attend your first ever scheduled meeting only with her and just thinking about it makes your heart beat a bit faster than normal. What surprised you at the time was the sudden nervousness you felt at the thought of being alone with your professor, which you, back then, interpreted as simple eagerness to learn as much as possible from the woman, not necessarily a lie but certainly not the whole truth. You didn’t even know why you did all that stuff before leaving to go to her office, but you still remember the blush that inevitably spread over your chest when your roommate asked you if you were going on a date or something. Ok, maybe the face masks and the waxing weren’t really needed, but, in your defence, you’ve always put a lot of effort in your appearance.
You actually remember very few moments from that day, maybe because of the terrible heat that was plaguing the city or maybe because of the unforgettable view of your professor leaning back on her chair with her arms crossed as she listened to you explaining the main ideas you already had for your dissertation. Seeing the state you were in, and blaming the hot weather, she even offered you a glass of water, which, instead of cooling you off, only made you feel warmer when little drops of condensation fell from the glass on your chest, making you shiver even more when knowing she was now right in front of you, leaning against her desk.
Despite you literally being a hot mess around her, you were grateful for the bright smiles she always threw at you, being kind of a signature thing of hers, as she was known for always being able to make all her students feel at ease.
In spite of the struggles you had to go through, it was a really productive and satisfying encounter, the first of many more.
As time went on, with hours and hours spent working on your thesis, you started feeling a little bit more at ease with her. Of course you still felt a shiver down your back every time she greeted you in her office, getting a bit more personal each time, with her arm starting to sneak around the small of your back while leading you to her desk. You tried to focus on working hard to impress her, though, as to show her that you weren’t just some flustered girl who once wrote an incredible essay, but a student worthy of her time.
With your work progressing and you getting more comfortable in the now familiar space of her office, you didn’t even realise it when you stopped sitting in front of her and automatically started taking a seat next to her, getting the two of you much closer and giving you a clear view of her beautiful smile and her slightly wandering eyes every time she chuckled at your occasional nervousness.
Everything changed that day, which you still remember extremely vividly. It all seemed quite normal, with you showing your professor the information you added to the thesis during the weekend. Even her closeness seemed somewhat familiar. As she was leaning closer to you, trying to take a better look at the words on your laptop, you couldn’t keep your eyes from exploring her face, moving from her eyes, to her cheekbones and finally getting to her rosy lips, which looked even more tempting than usual thanks to the thin layer of gloss on top of them. You were able to break out of their spell only when you noticed them curling up a bit, making your eyes dart up and meet hers, now focused on your face. As soon as you tried to excuse yourself, though, nothing came out of your mouth, leaving you there with your mouth open and unable to let any words out. At the look on your face she simply left out a small laugh, that you probably would have missed if you weren’t so close to her, and gave you her beautiful smile that you were now so familiar with. As a couple of seconds passed, you were only able to whisper a small “sorry” as something changed in her eyes, giving them a darker look, almost hungry.
You were still trying to get your thoughts in order when you felt a soft hand on your leg, caressing the skin right above your knee, incredibly close to the hem of your skirt. As you turned your head to look at the gentle touch, you immediately felt her moving even closer to you and running her nose from the base of your neck up to your ear, making a shiver run down your spine as she left out a low hum against it. You simply couldn’t move an inch, especially since she started moving her hand higher and higher at an agonisingly slow pace, making mush out of your brain and your muscles incredibly tense as you grabbed the armchair so hard your knuckles turned white.
It was almost as if the thick air surrounding you was pulsating simultaneously with your heartbeat, making it impossible for you to make out any of her soft whispers. All you could register were the occasional nipping at your lobe and her fingers now grabbing your inner thigh, right under your throbbing centre, making you let out a small whimper at the sight of her hand now fully under your skirt. As she started lightly running her index finger over you through your underwear, she noticed you getting even more tense than before and your lower lip caught between your teeth as your breath started getting more and more scattered
“Let me hear you sweetheart, let me hear your pretty voice”
Her low whispers only made an even stronger shiver run through your entire body, as the knot in your lower stomach tightened almost painfully, making it impossible for you to hold it all in anymore. As you threw your head back and left out a loud moan she suddenly pressed directly on your clit and started rubbing it in tight circles while leaving little kisses on the now exposed column of your throat, moaning at your ragged breath. The small groan she left out at the feeling of your wetness getting all over her fingers even through the fabric of your underwear, her intoxicating perfume and the feeling of her lips now pressed against your temple only added to your pleasure.
Sensing your peak quickly nearing and being in need of some stability, you went to grab her wrist between your legs but were stopped from doing so when you reached your climax, which made your hips buck in her hand and caused you to let out one last strangled moan. Trying to collect yourself as much as possible, you leaned your back on the chair and left your head fall back while you tried to get your breathing back to normal, but shivered once again as she took her fingers off of you to gently grab your chin and turn your still titled back head towards her, getting you to open your eyes only when you felt her lips pressing against the corner of your mouth.
In that moment, with your body still euphoric but your mind much clearer, it all hit you at once. Professor Maximoff, your professor, just got you off, she just touched you here, in her office, which could have potentially been accessed by anyone at any time. For what you know, someone could have just opened the door while you were in such a compromising position and all your past years of hard work could have been thrown out of the window just like that. You’re ironically not even worried about the action in itself, yes, you probably would have considered it inappropriate if any other professor of yours tried to make such a bold move, but you must admit that, coming from her, made it feel way too exciting.
Sensing your uneasiness starting to get a hold on you, she immediately tried her best to reassure you, informing you of the student after you having called off, before leaving a simple peck on your cheek, which successfully put a stop to the rambling in your head and finally made you realise her closeness, once again. This time, some unknown boldness took over you, making you lean forward to press your lips on hers in a quick kiss, which she immediately tried to deepen, taking a hold of your jaw with her hand and moaning at the feeling of your tongue on her lips. With the kiss quickly growing hungrier and messier, hands wandering on each other’s bodies, you were so lost in one another that the sudden sound of a notification on your phone made you jump and fully break the kiss.
Nothing else happened that day, you just left her office after realising how long you had been in there.
With time, though, your meetings started getting later and later at night, taking advantage of the loneliness of the building to appreciate each other as much as you wanted, as taking the risk of moving your activities to your or her home was still a big no.
One thing you were able to notice with your encounters was the different demeanours she displayed to you in such intimate situations, leaving space for her deep desires to take over.
Today you are supposed to meet up at her office once again. It is different, though: you just officially finished writing your thesis, meaning that you technically don’t need your professor’s help anymore. She still confirmed your meeting to “make sure that everything is on track”, but you know what she seeks from you going there.
Your knock on her door echoes through the corridor of the empty building, giving you a sense of comfort knowing that there is very little possibility of someone accidentally catching you two. There is still a small sense of uneasiness deep in you, though, knowing that, now that your academic work is officially over, the chances of spending time together could be more difficult to find.
You are pulled out of your thoughts as the door to her office opens, revealing her figure hugged by one of her signature black suits with her sleeves rolled up, giving you a clear view of her beautiful hands adorned by a couple of rings and her manicured, short nails. There is a small smirk on her lips when your eyes move up to meet hers, before she moves to the side to let you get in, closing and locking the door as she follows you inside.
You can sense her eagerness when she doesn’t even let you put down your bag, taking it herself as she presses her front against your back and starts kissing you from your shoulder up to your neck
“There has been an unexpected event, I don’t have much time, I’m sorry”
“I can come another day, I don’t want to keep you here”
Your small, trembling voice makes her smile in your neck as she lightly sucks your skin between her kisses
“No, I wanna fuck my good girl, I wanna see you cum for me”
Her words and the particular hard squeeze she gives your hips make you let out a small yelp, turning it into a low moan when she pulls you hard against her front, letting you feel the bulge in her pants. The groan she lets out and the way she starts panting against you when you keep moving your ass against her strap lets you know that she’s probably wearing the one she loves, with an end right inside of her.
All of a sudden she moves away from you and walks to her desk, leaning against it and signaling you to move closer. You already know what she wants from you, so, as soon as you reach her, you immediately kneel before her and unbutton her pants, lowering them and her underwear just enough for the dildo safely secured to the straps on her hips to sprung out. Seeing the way her hips buckle when you simply pump it in your hand a couple times, you just start licking it to get it thoroughly wet while looking up at her. Your ministrations don’t last long, though, as she soon reaches down for your hair, roughly pulling it to move your head back to warn you, her stern look being enough for you to stop with the teasing.
As soon as you wrap your lips around the head of the dildo and lower them, using your hand to push it further, the action makes the other end move inside of her, deliciously stimulating her. The low moans she lets out as you bob your head on her faux cock only make you wetter and more eager to please her, so you try to take as much of her as you can and, as you lower your head all the way to the base of the dildo, you’re satisfied to hear her let out a small “shit” at your action. As soon as you pull back and take a breath, she roughly grabs your hair in a makeshift ponytail, signaling you to keep up with the pace. With one end of the dildo repeatedly hitting the back of your throat, it doesn’t take long for her to cum, giving you what would be the most beautiful view of the woman above you if it wasn’t for your slightly watery eyes.
Right after coming down from her climax she leans down to kiss you and the desire and lust you see in her eyes as you pull back makes you jump on your feet to fully press your fronts together and kiss her even more deeply. She immediately moves her hand between your legs to cup you through your underwear and, hearing you moan in the kiss, she sneaks her fingers under the fabric to suddenly plunge two of them inside of you, trying to get you ready for the quite large dildo.
Not being able to hold herself back anymore, though, she soon lowly groans and turns you two around, pushing your shoulders and bending you over her desk, before hurriedly lifting your skirt over your hips and taking off your underwear.
You can’t hold back a moan when you turn your head and catch a glimpse of her putting the fabric in the pocket of her blazer, before taking it off and revealing her wearing a tank top, showing off her beautiful arms and shoulders. Feeling her sliding the faux cock over your folds, making the tip bump on your clit each time, you cross your arms and lean your forehead over them, waiting for her to finally push into you. When she does you try to hold back a whimper at the large intrusion, but cry out as she pushes the rest in one quick go
“How many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that? I wanna hear how good you feel when I fuck you with my strap”
You don’t even have the time to respond, as she instantly sets a quick pace, making it impossible for you not to let out loud moans at the way she deliciously pumps the dildo into you. The sounds she lets out perfectly combine with yours, creating a symphony of desire that makes your head spin even more as she keeps a tight hold on your waist, pulling you back against her to meet each one of her thrusts.
With the raw desire she’s displaying, all you can do is reach for the other end of the desk and hold tight onto it in order to ground yourself as much as you can.
You soon feel her pace getting more erratic and her breathing more laboured as she gets closer to her climax, so you try to push back against her, only to be unable to do so when she harshly pulls your hair, getting a particularly loud moan out of you and making your back arch even more. All you can focus on are the beautiful sounds she’s making and the strap repeatedly hitting the sweet spot inside of you as you start panting even more when she moves her other hand from your waist to you clit to quickly rub it
“Come on baby, I wanna see you cum all over my strap”
It all hits you like a hard, rough wave that takes all your breath away and makes your legs shake and when she straightens up and sees your disheveled state and your arousal running down your thighs, the coil in her stomach tightens even more, snapping after a couple more of rough thrusts.
All you can hear in your blissed out state is her panting against your back as she tries to catch her breath, before she lets out a breathless laugh
“Shit, I might have to keep checking up on your work for some more time, sweetheart”

JK 28 July live
I'm exhausted. Can't seem to catch up with the speed JK's doing these lives. And every single one is louder than the one before it.
So, this is me posting about the live on the 28th, all while I haven't yet for the previous live, and just after he had his latest one.
But I guess here it goes, cause better late than never.
So the 28th live. Well, truthfully it was 3 lives.
1st he ended after close to 3 minutes because of the angle of the camera.
2nd was lagging and he eventually turned off after around 4 minutes.
He did manage to tell us the ice creams he likes concluding he likes savory.
He likes savory and JM likes rabbit spit. Ok then.
Tumblr media
Don't blame me for being like this. It's JK's fault. Well, actually, it's JK and JM's fault, cause man did they come on hard in that next third live that followed.
Peeps, this one was a doozy.
This short live, and even shorter Jikook interaction (started pretty much at the start of the live and ended at around the 15 min. mark) is up there as one of the best Jikook lives. And JM wasn't even in the room for it, lol.
If you would have asked me a couple of months back if this day was in the making pre-enlistment I would have said no. But hell, something has shifted in the past few weeks. Like really SHIFTED. When I compared Jikook's Silver day dinner in NY to Tainni's Parris stroll, I knew what I was talking about.
And now, I take you a Taenni stroll and raise you a frigging JK half naked in bed live just having a flirt fest with his bf.
Subs are out, I suggest you all go watch it. It's short and easy to follow and JK makes sure to read out JM's comments and he's flirty and cheeky and totally informal and forgets what the word honorific even is. The man is in his element.
And JK, he's pushing. Pushing hard for JM to do the live together. Again and again. Just showing us in real life what it means to pursue the person you want to be with, you know the "love of my life", whom he wants to go live with him. And JM, well JM he's being flirty and playful, and when he gets a little too flirty, he catches himself and deletes his comment, lol. But JK he catches on and he continues.
And after sending JK a photo to show him he's not in a state for a live, a photo that JK doesn't get to see just yet, JK is disappointed but accepts it. And then JM dips and tells JK to spend some time with us, cause when they are at it, it's only the two of them, lol.
That's it in an essence, but there is so much to unpack from that, I don't even know where to start.
Maybe not with Jikook. Maybe I'll start with JK, our super masculine manly man calling his new piercings pretty.
Ok then. Now that I got that out of the way how about we talk about JK showing us outright that their relationship, it ain't no usual hyung dongsaeng relationship. No way, no how.
In the more or less 15 minutes that JM stays on the live and the conversation between them JK mentions JM's name 18 times, out of which twice adding the ssi and only 7 times adding the hyung. And not only does he 'forget' the hyung, at some point in the live he calls JM by his name and uses his flirty Jimin-ssi, but he also dares to speak to him saying his name with an authoritive commanding tone. JK spares absolutely nothing to get JM do that live with him.
Also, out of those 7 times JK says JM hyung most are when he's talking about him and not to him?
Do we actually remember who the hyung is there? Cause it feels like those two have already forgotten it, lol.
JK tried it all. He tries asking then flirting, then going assertive.
JK tries the logical path - we are both bored.
He tries batting his eyelashes and he even goes down the emotional manipulation path with a little guilt tripping.
He even goes aego on JM. That lip pucker was not for us. Good cover up (or not so) with the "I'm checking out my face and need to lose weight".
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He literally tries it all, lol.
JM, ma man, you are a much stronger soldier than I would ever be, lol.
Thing is this.
JM knows he has to be strong here, when he has JK at arms length, cause he also knows that the second JK is near him, that's when he will lose his composure.
I kind of think it goes back to JM once admitting to us that he couldn't do a live alone with JK because they would get lost in each other and forget we are there.
Well hell yeah, that's exactly what we're banking on. Let the Jikook live begin.
Maybe, just maybe if the live is pre-planned and on neutral ground. Maybe then he can manage to have some kind of control. But like this? Just out of nowhere? No preparation?
JM is a strong soldier, but when it comes to JK he loses that battle. And he knows it, lol. So that would be a big fat no on an unplanned live with JK for him, lol.
And let's go right back to the flirting that was going on right in front of our faces. Because I mean, how can we not? How can we not keep talking about this? This was friggin' wild.
JM with his "I can handle it", his "I'm scared of you" and "he's going to hit me", and should we mention his "I'm not easy" (will get to that one in a sec)? Yo, and what's up with that pic he sent him mid live and telling us all he just did?
And JK, omg JK, with his satoori and informal and just that tone. That tone he was using with JM. Because all those words, and the dropping of the hyung they are only a part of it. It's the tone. The bloody to die for tone he was using talking to JM.
And his reactions to JM's comments.
youtube
JK's reaction to JM's "I can handle it", omg, that giggle and the smile after saying it again...
See I can't help but wonder... was that JK giggling because:
a. he knows jm can handle it as he's quite familiar with his chesties besties; or
b. he knows that JM's lying cause he most definitley cannot handle his chesties besties.
But seriously, can JM handle it? Can he really? Handle his chestie besties??? Perhaps from afar off camera, lol. And that is just another reason why JM thought it better to not have that live.
Food for thought. LOL.
We were literally third wheeling the whole time.
Even DT Parker could see it.
He sees some of it, but unwilling to go the full mile.
And that's also why JM decided he had to put an end to it, dip and let JK have a little time with army (which was another 10 min. of which 5 were him telling his goodbyes), lol.
Oh, a few more points.
What about "I'm not easy", ok, let's talk about that one for a minute.
Tumblr media
Ok, so it's not 100% sure who deleted that one. My money is on JM. He knew EXACTLY what it looked/sounded like, and realised that perhaps this was him taking it once step too far, lol. I doubt it was someone in the company that deleted it, because if you go to the live and press live chat you can actually see that both the comments that were deleted are still there, lol. So, seems to me that this wasn't a company move and more a JM one. Because adding this to the tone, the lack of honorifics, the totally thoroughly flirty conversation between the two of them, this could be a little bit of a deal sealer, and maybe JM thought it to be just a little too much.
Did we talk about the song JK sings right after JM joins the live?
JM, ma man, you are a much stronger soldier than I would ever be, lol.
Thing is this, again, JM knows he has to be strong here, when he has JK at arms length, cause he also knows that the second JK is near him, that's when he will lose his composure.
And a little more I noticed (I don't really think it's so little though):
JM, of course, knows JK's schedule.
I know there are a few translations on this, but the official ones are pretty clear, and they also align with what JK told us in the first live, having to wake up at 1:20 pm. And there is also this:
JM was calling JK - Jung kook. Which is not something he's done that often. And it feels like this might also have to do with JK's change to his Weverse account, changing his name to Jung kook, perhaps wanting to have a more mature/adult image.
Oh, and how is this not exploding on SM?????
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like wtf? How has this not been all over the place?
The ease in which this was said. He'll grab his toiletries and go over to do the live? Shower at JM's before? Shower at his after? Do the live, shower and sleep over? Whichever of these you go with it's god damn fucking loud.
The man lives what? A few minutes away from JM? And yet he needs to pop over to his place to shower? And again, how naturally this was said, kind of like it's A THING they just do. Like, let's get real here. First of all, yeah, it's a thing they do, and he just told us that live!!! and second, I'm not sure he needs a full bag of toiletries. He probably has most of them already there on his side of the sink, or if there is a his and his sink, then next to HIS sink.
Also, and this is a question I'm still asking myself - did JK say this intentionally? Was this a slip of the tongue or was there intent. Either or is loud, but intent means he wanted us to know this, while slip of the tongue was that he just let himself act naturally with JM, which included that "I'll come shower at yours".
And JM? I didn't hear a no to the "I'll come over and shower at yours". Just a not now to the live. So...
Ok, enough is enough.
We still had another what? 10 min. approx. after JM left.
Did anything really happen in those 10 min.? Nah.
Well, one thing maybe. JK said he'll try to go live during his breaks while recording, cause he's sad he only got to perform in front of 280 army only.
Which he did.
And me writing these lines after watching that live just sitting here and laughing my head off. Because BURN BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, that's it.
We might not have gotten an actual Jikook in same room and same frame live, but we sure did get a JIKOOK live. And it was as loud as (minors hands over your ears) FUCK!!!!
Tumblr media
And everything I mentioned there, my friends, is why it's ALWAYS better to watch the live and not rely solely on the translation accounts. Translations accounts are great, but they don't convey the tone.
Oh, and did we see this?
Tumblr media
Cause what the hell?🤣🤣
Tumblr media
And for funsies:
Tumblr media
Now JK has to stop. Just stop. Like take a couple of days off, go be with JM for a little and let me catch my breath goddamnit.🤣🤣

Hello again! Ok, this is kind of mean(?), it's a Steve Harrington x Reader leading to Eddie Munson x Reader with angst prompt 1, 19, 24 and Fluff 6, 19, 22. Steve is dating the reader after Nancy, and she has been in love with him for a very long time, but he never took the time to get over Nancy, so everything he does, he does "the Nancy way" - like getting the reader roses, because that's Nancy's favorite, while Reader's favorite are actually Sweet Peas (but Eddie remembers because he liked the reader from the start and every time she said something, he listened, and remembered)
I love mean. I got a little scared at the beginning because I thought you were going to leave a negative message !!
"What’s the point of trying if it just proves that I’ll never be good enough?”
“This isn’t going to be fixed. You’ve ruined this for good now.”
“You can cut me, bruise me and skin me alive, but you will not take her from me.”
"I can't believe you remembered that" "I remember everything about you"
"I can keep you company till you fall asleep"
Tumblr media
Eddie and Y/N have been friends since middle school. When Eddie had a buzz cut and she had braces. Once they made it to highschool and slowly made their way through puberty, their hormones began to grow.
Y/N felt herself falling for King Steve by the time it was his senior year and she was a junior. She's had a crush on him since freshman year but the word love seemed like it fit more as she got older.
For Eddie, his eyes never left her since middle school. He never bothered to look anywhere else. During freshman year he had to accept her type as Steve Harrington, someone he could never be. When they became juniors and she admitted she was in love with him, he knew they would never be. He accepted the idea of them only being best friends, accepting the comfort of being friend zoned.
Eddie hated Steve with every bone in his body. The news that Nancy dumped him traveled fast and Y/N was delighted to hear he was single. Eddie warned her that Steve is on the rebound part of his life and she needed to stay away.
How could she stay away when Steve began to notice her?
She couldn't ignore him when he waved and smiled at her in the hallway. And she definitely couldn't ignore him when he kissed her at a party, even if they both were drunk.
She excitedly told Eddie the news, he wanted to be supportive but he didn't trust Steve. He tried over and over to make Y/N see that if she went after Steve, she was going to get hurt.
That was a risk she was willing to take.
~~
The couple made it official two months after the kiss. They've been together now for around five months.
Eddie kept a close eye on her, making sure she was getting treated the way she deserved to.
~~
Y/N really liked Steve, and she wanted to make him happy. But the longer they were together, the more red flags were being waved in her face. She wanted to ignore them so she could just be happy.
But when her room is decorated with red roses, her heart wants to sink. The thought of her boyfriend getting her flowers made her heart skip, but they weren't her favorite flowers, they were Nancy's.
She tried to hide the disappointment with a big smile and kiss to his cheek. He left with a smile of his own, promising to be back later for their date for her birthday.
She placed the roses in a vase with a sigh.
Eddie walked in her front door like he lived there. A big smile on his face holding a bouquet of sweet peas.
"happy birthday my girl!" He screamed as he put the flowers down and picked her up, spinning her around.
She laughed and begged to be put down.
"I got you your favorite," her face broke into a real smile when he handed over the flowers. They were her favorite flowers.
He eyed the roses weirdly but didn't say anything. He smiled when she took out the roses and replaced them with his flowers.
~~
That was one time Y/N began to see Eddie knew her better than her own boyfriend.
Another time was when Y/N was auditioning for the schools play. She was working hard to score the leading role. She was telling Steve and Eddie all about the songs, dancing, and the costumes. Both listened to her, but one was listening just a tad bit more.
The night of the play she was excited to see her boyfriend and Eddie in the crowd.
Eddie hated sitting next to Steve but Y/N bought them their seats together so he sucked it up for her.
"who is she again?"
Eddie wanted to roll his eyes. Y/N has been talking about this role for months and he can't even remember her character?
When the curtains closed and she ran to her boyfriend at the end, Eddie made sure to look away.
"you did great baby!" Steve congratulated her with a kiss. Eddie wanted to puke.
"yeah Y/N you did great. I don't get why you were worried about the ending scene. The change in the direction was definitely a good call. I'm glad the director took your idea."
Y/N was stunned. She was ranting about her ending scene idea months ago, she forgot she even brought it up.
"what ending scene changed?" Steve questioned.
That hurt Y/N. She told Eddie it months ago and he remembered, she brought it up to Steve last night and he didn't even remember.
Eddie scoffed and sent him a glare.
"your girlfriend changed the whole ending of the play because of her genius mind. Maybe if you paid attention to her, you'd know."
Steve was quick to defend himself. Getting in Eddie's face with his chest puffed out.
Y/N quickly stood between the two, "okay we are on school grounds. Lets relax and take this outside."
As the boys went outside she changed in her dressing room.
~~
Eddie was fuming as the doors closed.
"what the fuck was that? Are you trying to make me look bad?" Steve accused Eddie as he stood over him.
"No you are making yourself look bad. You treat her like shit. I'm not stupid. You are looking for a rebound. I told her to stay away from you. You are only out to hurt her." Eddie was pissed.
He could treat her so much better, so fucking good.
Steve has the girl he always dreamed of, and he doesn't even care.
"that's not true!"
"yes it is! You don't even know her. You just treat her the same way you did with Nancy. You buy her Nancy's favorite flowers, you go to Nancy's favorite restaurant, you take her to Nancy's favorite drive-ins. You don't treat her as her own person. She's so much better than Nancy. She's way more beautiful, loving, and amazing. And you don't even notice the girl you have right in front of you. Too occupied with living in your Nancy fantasies through her!"
Eddie feared he said too much, Steve was going to find out.
"holy shit. You love her don't you?" Eddie went still. He wasn't supposed to find that out.
"you are filling her head to dump me. Why? so she'll run to you? Be the best friend that fixes her heart? You are fucking in love with her!"
Eddie didn't know what to say, everything he said was technically right.
"Eddie? Is that true?"
He wished he could disappear. Y/N stood in her street clothes, softly crying as she looked between the two boys.
Eddie was in love with her? How did she not notice? How did she not see he never once talked about another girl? No crushes. Nothing. He never said a word about anyone.
He swallowed his fears, it's now or never.
"yes it's true. I've been in love with you since middle school."
Her heart broke for him. Guilt filling her body, she can't imagine the hell she's been putting him through.
Steve scoffed, and her head turned to him.
"she doesn't love you dude. And she never will. She's been in love with me for ever. Who do you really think she's going to pick?" She's never heard Steve sound so mean and cruel.
Eddie's body flinched at the words, words he knew were true.
“You can cut me, bruise me and skin me alive, but you will not take her from me.”
Eddie protected her heart all his life, now she wanted to do the same.
"Don't talk to him like that. I can't believe I wasted so many years on you! You don't even like me do you? Just a shell for you to imagine Nancy in?"
Steve knew he was caught.
"What’s the point of trying if it just proves that I’ll never be good enough? I'm never going to be her Steve. This isn’t going to be fixed. You’ve ruined this for good now. And you're wrong. I will always chose Eddie”
She grabbed Eddie's hand and began to walk to his van.
Ignoring Steve's shouts for her to come back.
~~
Once Eddie and Y/N made it back to her house, they stayed silent.
Y/N didn't know what to say. She feels horrible for how Eddie must have felt. And Eddie had no idea what Y/N was thinking.
"I'm so sorry," she broke down into tears. Sobbing painfully to herself.
Eddie acted fast, pulling her into his arms and cradling her head.
"hey there's nothing to be sorry for," he tried to comfort her but she felt even worse.
"no you told me this would happen. You told me I'd get hurt and I didn't care because I was only hurting myself. But if you told me that I'd be hurting you in the process I would have never gone after him."
"hey no. You are not going to blame yourself for this. I could have easily told you about my feelings for you. Okay? It was my choice not to."
She nodded at his words but still felt guilty.
She should have seen it. Eddie remembered everything about her.
Her eyes caught sight of the sweet pea flowers and her heart warmed.
"you always remember the things I never thought anyone would." She admitted.
"I remember everything about you" he confessed as he kissed her head.
"can you remember this one last thing for me?" She asked as she looked into his eyes.
He nodded
"no one will ever take me from you."
~~
A few weeks have passed since her big blowout with Steve. And her feelings for Eddie have gotten more complicated.
She won't lie to herself, she always thought about Eddie in a more than a friend kind of way. She just never thought he'd like her back in that way.
But now she was conflicted because she didn't want him to think she only likes him because Steve and her didn't work out.
~~
So she waited until she was positive she was over Steve.
And when Eddie and her got dragged into the upside down, they had bigger issues to focus on.
~~
Steve silently watched Eddie and Y/N all throughout their journey in the upside down. He watched as they cared for each other.
Y/N practically took off a bats head when it attacked Eddie.
And Eddie practically sliced through venca when it gripped her against the wall.
Steve watched as these two fought to keep each other alive.
He watched her cry when Eddie sacrificed himself, sobbing into his bloodied chest.
~~
He watched from the hallway as she laid in his hospital bed, refusing to move from his side.
He could easily see how much she loved him. And he won't lie, it sucked knowing she could have loved him that much too.
When Eddie finally woke up she practically crushed him in a hug.
Eddie laughed and slightly coughed in pain
"okay crushing me here."
Steve continued to watch through the window. His heart slowly sinking to his stomach when she kissed him.
The final blow was when she whispered:
"I'm in love with you too"

hi this is for the Christmas drabbles if you’re still doing them if not totally ok! Thanks!
Christmas tree, competitive, Bucky
Also I’ve been reading a lot of your work lately and girlll! 🥺 it’s just muah!
 The Christmas tree farm was way bigger than you had expected. Big enough that despite the sheer number of cars squeezed into the small dirt parking lot, it didn’t feel crowded at all. Bucky and Clint had tagged along with you to help, and they both looked to you for direction as you exited the car. 
“I don’t really know what I’m looking for to be honest,” you said with an apologetic smile. “I’ve never had a real tree before. Just figured I should try it out once and see what the hype is about.” 
“I’m a plastic tree girlie myself,” Clint said around a mouthful of chocolate covered espresso beans, his road trip snack of choice. 
“Are you wanting to put it in the same place as last year?” Bucky asked.
You smiled, remembering the day he helped you set up your cute four-foot tree last year. You’d barely been dating for a month and had been dutifully ticking off the boxes of the traditional public outing dates. But that evening in together, decorating your apartment and cooking in your small kitchen, had been far better for the two of you than any date before that. That night, your relationship as you now knew it really began to take shape.
“Yeah,” you said with a small smile. “Same place as last year. I measured it just in case.” You pulled up your notes app to show them both the measurements you’d taken of the corner of your living room. 
“Right,” Clint said, clapping you on the shoulder and starting towards the grove of evergreens. “I’ve got this.”
“Are you an authority on Christmas trees now?” Bucky asked, trailing behind him.
“I’m very good at finding things,” he said, as if this should have been obvious to both of you.
“You’re only wearing one glove,” Bucky pointed out mildly.
“I only want to be wearing one glove.”
“Alright, relax. It’s not a competition,” you cut in.
As soon as the words were out of your mouth, you regretted them. Bucky and Clint locked eyes for a second before taking off towards the trees.
“Guys!” you called after them, trying for only a few seconds to keep pace before giving up with a sigh. “No climbing or creeping out the normal people!”
“No promises!” Clint shouted back before he disappeared between the rows. 
You shook your head, resigning yourself to wandering solo through the trees, enjoying the pine-scented air and occasional sounds of joy from other visitors. Everyone else seemed to be in groups or pairs, and the longer you walked, the more you understood that at least half the draw of places like this was to pick out a tree with friends or family or significant others. Each person you passed looked happy and connected and content, and just as you began to wish you’d brought your sister to help you instead, you felt a familiar presence at your side, an arm dropping comfortably over your shoulders. 
“Hi,” Bucky said, his cheeks looking a little pink.
“Hi,” you said back. “Giving up or did you already find me one?”
“No, I just…. Sorry for leaving you. I got…”
“Excited to beat Clint at something?”
“Little bit,” he said with a soft laugh.
“And just left me here to suffer surrounded by cute couples all by myself,” you teased, leaning heavily into him as if you were on the point of fainting. “Just look at them!”
But your stomach dropped a little as the couple you’d just directed Bucky’s attention to drifted apart for a second, one of them dropping to one knee and digging a ring box out of their coat pocket.
“No, no,” you said quickly, dragging Bucky into the next row. “That’s not what I meant, I promise. I wasn’t -”
“I know,” he laughed, dropping a kiss into your hair and running his hands soothingly over your back. “Relax, I know. You hate public proposals. And that ring wasn’t the right style at all.”
You looked up at him, and he snorted at the startled expression on your face.
“What? I pay attention. That’s not a bad thing.”
You smiled a little, curious about exactly how much he’d been paying attention. 
“I’m just saying, if you ever decide you might wanna marry me some day, I’ll do a much better job. Promise.” 
The sound of applause came through the trees, bystanders cheering at the newly formed engagement they’d witnessed, and you giggled leaning to kiss Bucky’s scruffy cheek. 
“Not everything has to be a competition, you know.”
“Oh, I know. But if it was, we’d kick their asses.”

guilt & hangovers.
rhett abbott x reader.
Tumblr media
→ description: rhett soothes your worries from the night before.
→ c/w: drug and alcohol use, recovery, sobriety, hangovers, swearing, titty touching, kissing, food.
→ a/n: as i go through recovery, i’ve found it comforting to myself to write these pieces. i hope it brings any level of comfort to all who read! <3 my ‘sobriety’ masterlist can be found here! my main masterlist can be found here! 💌
Your eyes squinted open slowly, peeling awake to the sunlight falling through your lacy curtains on your bedroom window. The reflection of the morning sun in your eyes shot to your headache immediately, making you wince. Your mouth felt full with cotton and your body ached a little. Rhett slipped in through your bedroom door with a warm smile.
“Good mornin’, gorgeous.” You gave him a kiss in response as he curled back into bed next to you. You propped yourself up slightly to lie on Rhett’s chest, humming in content. You were slightly hungover, but the warmth of your lover soothed your head.
“Y’ had a good time last night?”
“I think…” You questioned yourself as you played back the night behind your closed eyes. You remembered everything, which was the first good sign, but you were slightly on edge at Rhett’s question. “Oh God, why d’ y’ ask? Did I do somethin’ stupid?” You grumbled and winced again, burying your face further into his chest as you awaited his response.
You felt his chest vibrate with a chuckle and he soothed his fingers through your hair to reassure you. “No, no, darlin’. Just in the truck home, y’ were smilin’ to yourself, talkin’ about how happy y’ were, how much y’ enjoyed the night.”
“Oh.” You hummed back to Rhett. A small smile graced your lips with relief. “Yeah, I remember that.”
You do remember. That was good.
You both lay there in a domestic and blissful silence for a while. Rhett didn’t let go of holding you close to his chest as you let the morning sun wash over you both, slowly waking you up for the day. It was a rare Sunday when you had no ranch work to do urgently, hence the chance to have a drink last night. You were planning to enjoy this Sunday like you did best together. Wrapped up in the bedsheets and making home cooked meals. Your stomach grumbled at the delicious thought, but your mind was still pre-occupied with more pressing matters. Rhett’s question, again. That triggered something in the back of your mind. Past memories clouded your senses and you just had to ask one more time—
“Y’ sure I didn’t do anythin’ stupid?”
He chuckled again and squeezed you tightly to his chest, wordlessly reassuring you. “Why y’ askin’ so much, baby?”
“I guess, I just… I feel, guilty?” You rounded off your statement with a questioning tone. You weren’t sure what this feeling was. You instinctively drew your nail beds to your teeth as you chewed on them with nervous hesitation. Your nails had grew in the last couple of months. Without the constant gnawing from your swinging jaw once a bag of powder was soaked through your nerves, you had no real reason to constantly bite them. None the less, Rhett was there as a wordless reminder, drawing your fingers away from your teeth to play with them mindlessly. Deep down, he was purposefully distracting you, but on Sunday mornings such as these, he enjoyed feeling out each crease and indent on your hands.
“Don’t,” Rhett’s voice came almost a beat afterwards. “Y’ had some drinks, got a good level of ‘drunk’ and came home to me. No drugs, nothin’. It’s ok to have a bit of fun. You’re doin’ so much better now, y’ shouldn’t feel guilty for that.”
You were still laying on his chest and listening to the rumble of his morning voice through your ear, staring ahead and taking in his words. Your eyes traced over the pattern on your lacy curtains. You registered his words, but the guilt.
The fucking guilt.
It was gnawing away at your stomach like you would your nails.
“But d’ you remember what—”
Your proposed, and self inflicting argument against yourself, was cut short by Rhett barking out a quiet laugh. “Nope, nu-uh.” He clicked his tongue between his teeth and you sat up to look at him now. He wetted his bottom lip with his tongue as he shook his head, still with a small and knowing smile on his face. “I know you, your group knows you, your support worker knows you. You’re doin’ so, so fuckin’ well, darlin’. I won’t let anyone tell my diamond girl ‘ny different.”
“Okay.” You mumbled with a loving smile gracing your lips. You were still feeling a little too hungover to argue, and, you knew Rhett was right.
“Okay.” He agreed with you and outstretched his large calloused hands to cup at your jaw and squeeze on your cheeks. “C’ ere.” He pulled you down to meet him again and placed one, two, then three, repeated kisses on your lips. As he parted with a wanton and low groan, he asked the one question that he knew would make all your worries disappear in an instant.
“Y’ want a fry up?”
You comically groaned, almost similar to how you would when Rhett’s face was buried between your thighs. You let your eyes roll back into your skull and you flopped down dramatically onto the mattress, withering with obscene pleasure at the thought of your lovers famous fry ups.
“Fuckin’, please.”
A playful smile was still plastered on your lips and Rhett’s lips, mirroring your humor in seeing you react like that. He leaned down once more to kiss you again, expanding his palm to give your bare breasts a squeeze before leaving you in bed to make a start on breakfast.
“Grab the laptop, put on what y’ want, my sweet thing.” He called out to you from your shared bedroom doorway.

In Bloom Pt. 3
Tumblr media
Photos are not mine. They are courtesy of Pinterest/Google.
Pairing: Billy Russo x F! Reader
Warnings: Some swear words, little bit of smexy time but pretty tame, mentions of Billy’s abandonment, his nightmares, little bit of angst, and fluff
Word Count: 5.3k-ish
Summary: Part 3 of 3. Reader is curious where Billy brings the bouquet of flowers he buys every week, their relationship progresses and he opens up a little more to her. Previous chapters linked below.
Part 1
Part 2
A/N: This was a fun little series to write. I hope everyone has enjoyed it so far and enjoy the conclusion too, although I do think an epilogue might be in order 😉💐
As always, thank you for reading!  I appreciate it so much and comments, reblogs are welcome and encouraged. Don’t be shy to tell me your favorite part. 💕💕 💕
“We slept together.” You joked, trying to keep a straight face.
The following Friday, Mr. Campbell asked about your date with Billy just like you knew he would.
“I beg your pardon?!” He yelled.
You started laughing and found it difficult to stop.
“Just sleep, Mr. Campbell…just sleep! There wasn’t any, as you say, ‘funny business’. We had a nice evening out, had one more drink at his place, he ended up reading aloud to me and we both fell asleep.”
Remembering that night brought a smile to your face and you had been out with Billy a couple of times since that night…a coffee date and then he showed up at your office with lunch for the two of you which was just incredibly sweet. You were starting to really fall for him but you still didn’t know much about his past.
“Mr. Campbell, can I ask you something?” You asked.
He looked up from the counter, pushed his glasses up and said “Of course, my dear. What is it?”
“Do…” You paused wondering if you should actually ask the question or keep it to yourself but you went for it anyway. “Do you know anything about Billy’s past? The way he grew up? Anything?”
Mr. Campbell set the flowers that he was holding down on to the counter, he touched your hand as he started to talk.
“My dear, y/n. Billy is a very private person and he doesn’t share that kind of information with me but even if I did know something, I wouldn’t tell you because it’s not my story to tell, right?” He said, rubbing the top of your hand.
Letting out a long exhale, you nodded and said “Yes, I understand. You’re right. I shouldn’t be so nosy but I thought maybe if I knew, I could, I dunno, help?”
“Oh but you are helping, my dear.” He said.
Confused, you narrowed your eyes at him.
“How so?” You asked.
He smiled at you and said. “I’ve never seen him smile like he did earlier when he was here. The smile never left his face when he was talking about you.”
“Really?” You asked with a wide smile.
“Really.” Mr. Campbell said. “Oh and those flowers are already paid for, by the way.”
“Dammit, Billy.” You cursed.
Mr. Campbell went right back to his work on another bouquet.
“He likes you a lot, y/n. He’s never ever talked about a woman before with me and he couldn’t stop talking about you. So be patient, I’m sure he’ll tell you when he’s ready.” He said softly.
“Ok…but I do have ONE more question.” You said.
“What’s that, my dear?” He asked.
“The flowers he buys every week…where does he bring them?” You asked.
Mr. Campbell just smiled a sweet smile at you and said. “I am sworn to secrecy, my dear.”
You were slightly disappointed with his answer but you remembered Mr. Campbell’s words “I’m sure he’ll tell you when he’s ready.”
**********
Mr. Campbell was right. After being together for a few months, Billy did open up a little more to you about never really having a real relationship before because he was told relationships made you weak, they left you vulnerable to attack, and he was convinced if anyone got close to him, they would just leave him anyway.
That one broke your heart most of all but he still didn’t really talk about his childhood, his parents, or the group home.
“Stop paying for my flowers, Billy!” You said with a wide smile.
He smiled back at you and chuckled. “No way, y/n. You’re not the boss of me! Actually…”
Billy paused and crawled over to the other end of the couch where you were sitting with your back against the arm and positioned himself between your legs.
“You are the only person I’d let be the boss of me.” He said with a mischievous grin, hungrily pressing his lips to yours, his cock straining against his pants inaudibly telling you how badly he wanted you.
You were pinned tightly against the arm of the couch, as he eagerly pressed his body against you, tracing his lips from your jawline down your neck and gently biting your pulse point which made your vision blurry.
Only together a few months and he already knew which buttons to push to make you fall apart underneath him.
“Oh really?” You said, breathlessly.
Billy’s strong hands roamed over your body, finding their way under your sweater and his long slender fingers brushed the soft skin above the waist of your jeans.
Lightly touching his forehead to yours, he asked. “What do you want me to do to you, sweet girl?”
Hearing those words escape his lips made you shudder, and caused your knees to tremble. His hips grinding hard against yours while you softly moan against his mouth.
“Ah, ah…use your words, princess.” He shook his finger at you.
Biting back soft whimpers, you answered him.
“I want you to kiss me, Billy.” You said.
As he leaned in to kiss you, you stopped him with your finger resting against his lips. “Not there, handsome.”
He bit down on his lower lip and eyed you up and down.
“I want you to go down further, Billy.” You whispered in his ear.
Billy leaned down to kiss the sculpted hollow of your throat, ghosting your collar bone with his skilled fingers. “Right here?” He asked, softly.
“Hmmmm…Not far enough, baby.” You purred.
Discarding your sweater on the floor, he left you in just a red lace bra on top. His eyes flashed with excitement and you could feel the sly grin he had on his face as his traced his lips in between your breasts and nipped at the soft skin of your stomach.
“What about here?” He asked, pausing just above the button of your jeans.
Strands of his raven colored hair were loosely wrapped around your fingers, as his gaze flicked up to meet yours, still smiling that slightly wicked smile of his.
“You’re getting warmer.” You said with a wicked smile of your own. “You think the panties match the bra?”
“If history has taught us anything baby, I’m sure they don’t.” He chuckled, inching up your body to look into your eyes again.
Raising your eyebrows, you gently pushed him away. “Well you’re going to have to catch me if you wanna find out.”
And you took off toward the bedroom, laughing teasingly. Billy followed close behind and practically tackled you onto the bed, catching you before you fell off.
“I got you, beautiful. I won’t let you fall.” He said, still laughing as he pulled you back over the edge of the bed. “You know I’d never let you fall.” His tone turned serious as he bent down to kiss you again.
“I’ll never let you fall either, Billy.” You said, gently raking your nails against his scalp. “I promise.”
His eyes shined like chips of dark glass after you said that, his mouth slanted over yours as he kissed you harder than he ever had before. You wanted him to believe you, to trust you with his heart that had never known what it meant to be loved. Because you did.
You loved him.
**********
The nightmares were difficult to keep from you. The first time it happened, you didn’t know what was going on or what to do. All you could do was attempt to calm him and reassure him it wasn’t real which seemed to help.
One night in particular was especially frightening. He kept calling out the name “Arthur.” You talked him through it and he was able to go back to sleep. When he brought you your coffee in bed the next morning, you asked him “Billy? Who’s Arthur?”
His body immediately tensed, you noticed the tightening of his jaw and he gnashed his teeth as he asked “Where, uh…where did you hear that name, baby?”
“You called out his name in your sleep last night. You sounded scared.” You brushed his knuckles with your thumb.
“I guess I can’t keep it from you anymore.” Said Billy, shying slightly away from you.
And as the two of you drank your coffee, Billy told you all about Arthur, the Ray of Hope group home and where the large scar on his shoulder came from. You just assumed it came from his time in the service.
After he was finished, he had a hard time looking you in the eyes like he was ashamed. He was afraid you would look at him differently if you knew or you wouldn’t want to be with him anymore.
“I promised you I’d never let you fall, Billy. They weren’t just words…I—I love you.” You had said.
He was speechless. For his entire life, Billy Russo never got close to anyone and never allowed people to get close to him, if he showed his feelings it would make him weak and feel out of control.
After Arthur, he never wanted to not be in control ever again but his heart now belonged to you and he was finally ok with someone else being in possession of it.
Your insides twisted with nausea after saying those three words and you felt the blood drain from your face. Billy closed the distance between you, inching himself closer to you on the bed before pinching your chin between his thumb and forefinger.
Resting his forehead against yours, he touched his lips to yours which were trembling because he hadn’t said anything yet.
“I love you too, sweet girl.” He had said, in barely more than a whisper, as you finally stopped holding your breath. “More than anything.”
**********
Five months together with Billy and you had never been happier. He chose you. A man who never tried being in a real relationship, but he tried with you. And you called upon your extreme patience sometimes to be able to deal with him, reminding yourself “he really doesn’t know any better.”
It wasn’t easy at times but he was incredibly grateful to you for “putting up with him,” as he called it. Billy was easy to love, you just had to get over a few bumps in the road first.
But there was still something bothering you. Ok, well maybe not bothering you exactly but he still hadn’t told you where he brought his weekly flower bouquets.
Billy always thanked you for being patient with him, however the natural curiosity you had about the weekly bouquet he picked up had evolved into a slight obsession. It was killing you not knowing where he went every Friday, you just really wanted to know.
**********
The look of cold rain threatened in the sky overhead. The clouds were the color of lead, shiny gray with a touch of blue, and you thought you heard a slight rumble of thunder in the distance as you waited in an uber for Billy to leave Mr. Campbell’s shop.
Your stomach was in knots and you knew it was wrong but you planned to follow him.
Not wanting to ask, but it seemed like your driver had done something very clandestine like this before. He stayed back just far enough so Billy wouldn’t be suspicious but close enough to see where he was going.
Heavy raindrops pelted the windshield as the wipers cleared the glass and the sky grew darker. The lull in the rain coincided with Billy pulling into a parking lot to a psychiatric hospital. Your driver followed close behind and you told him to park close to the Rolls Royce but not too close.
Billy’s only focus seemed to be on whoever was in that hospital, he didn’t take notice of anything else. He just plucked the flowers from the front seat and darted for the front door, hoping the rain didn’t pick up again.
You decided not to go inside. It wasn’t right and you felt terrible for what you had done. Whatever Billy’s secret was, it wasn’t a secret anymore. The flowers he bought every Friday belonged to someone in that hospital but you couldn’t bring yourself to find out who.
The guilt you had, felt like it was eating you alive, goosebumps pricked across your skin and suddenly it was hard to breathe. Spying on him was just wrong and you needed to leave.
“Are you going inside, Miss?” The driver asked.
A tear streaked down your cheek as you answered. “Uh, no—no. Could you please just bring me back to where you picked me up? Obviously, I’ll pay you for both rides.”
He nodded and said. “No problem.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to waste your time.” You said.
He smiled and said “It’s really no trouble, Miss.”
“Thank you.” You replied, with a slight hitch in your voice.
Your driver dropped you off in front of the flower shop, you wanted to talk to Mr. Campbell before Billy got back. He was supposed to come over for dinner tonight, and said he would bring pizza so at least you didn’t have to get back to cook anything.
“What are you doing back here, my dear? I thought Billy was coming over for dinner tonight?” Mr. Campbell asked.
Pacing back and forth, you could feel your heart beating out of your chest and the tears in your eyes were about to spill over.
“He is Mr. Campbell, but I did something I shouldn’t have! I—I followed him after he left your shop. I just really wanted to know where he brought those flowers!” You said, trying to catch your breath and stop crying.
“Did you go inside the hospital, y/n?” He asked.
You violently shook your head back and forth and pressed your lips together in a straight line before answering him.
“No…no, I didn’t. As soon as I saw where we were, I felt sick to my stomach and I knew I did the worst thing I could do. I betrayed him.” You sobbed.
Mr. Campbell just smiled his sweet smile at you. “I’m sure he’ll forgive you if you tell him the truth and how you feel.”
You pressed the palm of your hand to your forehead and then moved it to cover your eyes.
“I kept hearing your voice, saying ‘he’ll tell you when he’s ready’ and I didn’t listen, my curiosity couldn’t take it anymore! Five months, he hasn’t told me where he takes them in FIVE months!” You shouted. You finally stopped pacing and rested your hand on the counter.
Still smiling, Mr. Campbell placed his hand on top of yours. “Everything will be alright, my dear. He loves you.”
“He’s going to be so mad at me, Mr. Campbell.”
He removed his glasses. “Maybe at first. I know he won’t be able to stay mad at you forever. You’re too important to him.” He said.
Deep down, you hoped Mr. Campbell was right but you’ve never been so scared to lose someone as you were at that moment.
Billy was everything you had ever wanted, everything you were looking for, and you felt like as soon as you told him what you had done, he would leave and you would never hear from him again.
He made you smile…all the time. He was sweet, thoughtful, funny but also stubborn, moody, and still kept secrets from you.
There had to be a reason why. There just had to be but you weren’t patient enough to let him tell you on his own time. And now you might lose him because of a poor decision in a moment of weakness.
**********
After coming home, Billy texted to tell you he had pizza and was on his way over. Nervously sitting at the dining room table, you stared at the newest bouquet of flowers in the middle of the table. They just might be the last bouquet of flowers Billy would buy for you and your eyes immediately welled up with tears again.
That was the last thing you wanted.
When your door buzzer rang, you rushed over to answer. “Billy? Is that you?”
“Hey beautiful, yeah it’s me.” He answered.
After buzzing him in, you unlocked the door and waited at the table for him to come in.
Billy walked through the door, little raindrops were visible on his suit jacket, smiling his perfect smile for you. He quickly dropped the pizza on the table and rushed to kiss you. He never could wait to get his hands on you. Pulling you to standing and cupping your cheeks, his lips collided with yours and he hungrily kissed you until your lips were red.
You felt his warm breath against your eyelids, inhaling the scent of your perfume with each breath he drew in as he continued to kiss you, making you weak in the knees.
“I missed you today.” He said.
Trying to smile, you replied. “I can see that, handsome.”
After putting a slice of pizza on both of your plates, he sat down and started eating while you could barely even look at it without wanting to cry. This might be the last meal you and Billy share together.
It’s probably just best to tell him now.
“Billy…I need to tell you something.” You said, softly.
He stopped eating and furrowed his brow, the napkin fell to the table after wiping off his mouth and hands. A troubled look appeared on his face out of nowhere.
“What is it, baby? Are—are you ok?” He asked.
“Billy, I did something I shouldn’t have.” You blurted out.
He reached for your hand. “I’m sure whatever it is, sweet girl we can—“
You cut him off.
“I followed you from Mr. Campbell’s—to that hospital.” The tears were streaming down your face now.
The bitterness in his voice was harsh. “You—you followed me?”
“Billy, I am so, so sorry! I just wanted to know where your took those flowers and I—“
He interrupted you. “Did you follow me inside the hospital too?!” He snapped. “Did you?!”
“N-no Billy, I didn’t. I just thought if I knew, then I could help with whatever it was. As soon as I saw you pull into that lot, I knew I made a horrible mistake and I shouldn’t have betrayed your trust like that.” You said. “I turned around and went home.”
You wanted nothing more than to go to him, snake your arms around his neck and pull him to you, but he recoiled when you took a step toward him. He protectively folded his arms across his chest, his expression was distant, and he looked as pale as a marble pillar.
There was a touch of acid in his tone when he spoke again.
“You said I could tell you when I was ready but you went behind my back! I can’t believe you would do this to me!” His voice full of anger and dripping with spite as he picked up his jacket. “I gotta go.”
You tried to stop him as he started walking toward the door.
“I’m sorry, Billy. Please don’t leave!” You called after him.
But it was too late, he slammed the door behind him, leaving you alone to remember the hurt he had in his eyes right before he left.
Billy was gone and you weren’t sure if you were going to see him again, hear his voice again, or tell him that you love him again.
Your heart was shattered, it felt like there were shards of glass floating around inside your chest or like a giant snake had enveloped your whole body and it was crushing you, making sure you heard every bone snapping in half because you deserved it.
You knew you deserved worse than that. He had every right to be furious. You were the one person he let in, to see who he really was, not judging but helping him open up, to talk about whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted and you broke his trust and you hurt him.
“I promised I’d never let you fall, Billy.” You had said but you personally pulled the rug out from underneath him.
No matter how long it takes, you were determined to win back his trust.
**********
Even though you knew he probably wouldn’t answer, you tried to call Billy the next day. He didn’t pick up but you left a message anyway…
“H-hey Billy, I know you’re furious with me and you have every right to be. You do. And I am so, so sorry. It was a stupid thing to do and if I could take it back I would but I can’t. I completely understand if you don’t want to see me anymore, I broke your trust and I’ll accept whatever you decide to do. I love you.”
You sent a text a few days later that went unanswered but he did read it. Billy had the biggest sweet tooth of anyone you had ever met so you had his favorite cookies delivered to Anvil, no response to that either except from Frank.
He left you a voice message: “Those cookies were delicious, kid. I can see why Bill always hoards them, he did eat one, by the way. I just hate seein’ him like this, it’s like a piece of him is missing.”
You heard Billy’s voice in the background.
“Frankie, who are you talkin’ to?”
Frank’s voice came back on.
“Shit, busted. Gotta go, sweetheart.”
Frank’s message made you chuckle and it was probably the first time you smiled in almost a week.
Friday was coming up soon but you really weren’t in the mood for flowers but seeing Mr. Campbell was a big part of going to the shop every Friday. You really did just enjoy talking to him, the flowers were a secondary reason to go there at this point.
“Hi, Mr. Campbell.” You said as you walked through the door.
Mr. Campbell was finishing up with a customer, she was the only other person in the shop.
“Hello, my dear y/n. How is my favorite customer?” He asked after saying goodbye to her.
“I think you know the answer to that question.” You said softly.
He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and put his pen down. “Yes, I guess I do know the answer to that. But you came clean and told him the truth. You easily could have lied to him but you didn’t.”
You interrupted him.
“And it cost me the best thing to ever happen to me.” You said, your eyes welling up with tears again. You were actually surprised you had any left.
“You don’t know that.” Mr. Campbell said.
“Oh don’t I?!” You said, slight anger in your voice. “I called, texted, left messages, sent cookies to his office and apologized profusely. He doesn’t wanna talk to or see me, Mr. Campbell.”
“Give him time, my dear. Ya never know, it might be sooner than you think. Now what kind of flowers would you like today?” He asked, handing you a tissue.
Dabbing under your eyes, you caught the fresh tears before they could trickle down your cheeks.
“I don’t know if I really want any flowers today.” You sobbed.
Mr. Campbell never failed to have a smile on his face. “I promise they’ll make you feel better.” He said.
You gave him a slight smile. Talking to him always did make you feel better. From the very first time you walked into his shop, he and his flowers always lifted your spirits.
“Something with purple hydrangeas.” You said.
And he went to work putting together a perfect bouquet for you, just like he had every other time. When he was finished, you reached into your tote and pulled out his weekly treat and retrieved your wallet from your purse.
Before you could hand him your card, he held up his hand and waved it off.
“No, no…they’re already paid for.” He said with a smile.
You thought maybe Mr. Campbell paid for your flowers.
“Mr. Campbell, you didn’t have to pay for these, I can—“ You started to say.
But he cut you off.
“Oh no, my dear. I didn’t pay for them. Mr. Russo was in here early this morning.” He said with a warm smile. “He left this for you too.”
He handed you a card and you recognized Billy’s handwriting.
I told you, someone as sweet as you shouldn’t have to buy their own flowers.
All my love,
Billy
A smile stretched across your face as tears streaked down your cheeks.
“I didn’t even have to convince him. That was the first thing he did when he came in this morning. I told you, you were important to him, so I hate to say I told you so.” Mr. Campbell said.
With a little chuckle you said “Go ahead, you can say it.”
“No, I don’t think I will.” He said. “You go home now, don’t want those wilting on ya.”
“Thank you, Mr. Campbell…for everything.” You said, walking toward the door.
He smiled and waved as you exited the shop and headed for home.
**********
You were half expecting to see Billy outside the door to your apartment when you got there but he wasn’t so you’d just call him when you got settled inside.
After switching out your flowers, you cleaned straightened up the kitchen, put your books away, and did a couple more chores before deciding, instead of calling him, you’d just surprise him at his place.
One last mirror check before you grabbed your keys out of the bowl and opened the door to leave. Not expecting anyone to be on the other side of the door, you collided with Billy, almost knocking him over.
“I know you weren’t expecting me, sweet girl but you didn’t have to tackle me. I’ll call next time, I promise!” He said, flashing that perfect smile at you. That smile that you never thought you’d see again. “Where are you rushing off to, my love?”
“I—I was coming to see you.” You said with a slight hitch in your voice. “Billy, I’m SO sor—“
Before you could finish, Billy’s lips were on you, his hands cupping your cheeks, and walking you backwards into your apartment. Shutting the door with his foot, his lips never left yours as he kissed you…hard.
As much as you were loving it, you pulled away. “Billy, can I please just say I’m sorry!?”
“You’ve already apologized, my love. I wanna tell you that...that I’m sorry too. I should have told you where I was taking the flowers but—“ He started to say.
“No, Billy! I should have respected that you weren’t ready to tell me. But, what would you have said if I said I wanted to know where you were taking them that first day we met?” You asked.
He kissed your forehead and led you over to the couch. “I would have just said I’m not ready to talk about it yet. Then every time I thought I was ready to talk about it, all of the anger and hate I have for her would come back and I just didn’t want to upset you or bother you with it…or have you look at me differently.”
Now you were wondering who he’s referring to when he said “her.”
“I’ve never judged you, Billy. Do you think you could tell me now? It’s ok, if you’re not rea—“
Billy blurted out. “It’s my mother….it’s my mother.”
You were speechless. Billy told you he grew up in the system but he had never really said how he got there.
“I, uh…don’t really remember too much but she dropped me off at a fire station upstate, in Albany. She loved those drugs more than she loved me.” He said softly.
You tried to imagine Billy as a little boy, waiting and waiting for her to come back but no one shows up. It’s no wonder why he was so closed off, and why he seemed so angry that first time you asked about his childhood.
The person that was supposed to love him no matter what and protect him, left him without any regard for anyone else except herself and her habit.
You weren’t sure which broke your heart more, the story about Arthur or his mother.
“I visit her once a week, bring her flowers even though she doesn’t deserve them. I just sit there and talk to her, she doesn’t say anything because she can’t talk anymore and I just talk about my life. I told her about you too.” He said.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and shut his eyes. You could see it was excruciating for him to talk about her, he’s carried around his hate for her for so long and yet he went to visit her every single week.
Reaching out to take his hand in yours, you continued to listen.
“I told her ‘see ma, there is someone that loves me. She said she’d never let me fall and I believe her, I trust her, and I love her too.’ I just—I would have given her the world, if she just wanted me.” Billy said.
It was difficult to find the right words to say to him. This man just poured out his feelings to you like blood from an open wound. Those words have probably never been uttered to another human being before and he was telling all of it, to you.
He knows what it’s like to be alone, to not have a single soul that cares about you which was why it took him so long to open up to you. No one could leave him if they never got close to him, like she did.
She didn’t deserve his attention, didn’t deserve love, or the flowers he brought her every week after what she did to him, but she was still his mother.
“Billy…I’m not even going to pretend to know what all of that was like for you because I just don’t know. I can only imagine and it breaks my heart. What I can do is tell you that I love you, I’ll always be here to help you however I can if you want me to, and you’ll never ever have to feel alone or unwanted as long as I’m around.” You said through warm tears streaking down your face.
Brushing his beard with your thumbs, you closed the distance between the two of you on the couch and leaned forward to kiss him. Your mouth slanting over his as you melted completely into him, his body a warm hard cradle for yours, and you fit perfectly against him, like you were meant to be his.
“I love you, beautiful…so much.” Billy said, kissing the tip of your nose.
Scrunching your nose and biting down on your lower lip, you looked into his onyx colored eyes and couldn’t remember a time where you’ve been more in love with someone.
Billy finally took a chance and opened up to someone but you took a chance on him too. He was so different from your ex and those Wall Street pricks, he never took you for granted because he knew how quickly it could all be gone.
Billy Russo wasn’t perfect. He would never be perfect, but he was perfect for you because he made you happier than you ever thought you could be. And you did the same for him.
“I love you too, handsome. And thank you for my flowers.”

Hey um, so this is actually my first time typing anything on tumblr, partially because I only got it a couple months ago (something something healing my inner child because I only managed to secretly log into Webtoons during my younger years) and I am also a chronic lurker. Alas, it is the night hours and this, combined with listening to the first episode of Mil-Liminal has moved me to emerge, if only for a moment.
Sorry, this is strange. I am typing to someone I do not know who has written so much that is so close to my heart. Something about the first episode just really hit. Maybe it’s cause of how I can relate. Maybe it’s cause listening to it felt a little too real as if maybe you or someone you knew could relate. The thought makes me really sad but also less alone. Is that messed up?
Regardless, thank you so much for everything you make. Every success you have makes me really happy, and seeing you expand over the years to now being able to hear “Caro’s” voice after imagining it for so long- just awesome. Now if I may impose my nagging that I give to my friends upon you, please take care of yourself, make space and recognize the inherent worth you have, know that rest is necessary and you do not need to earn it, and thank you for everything you have done for the community and for all the dark times of my life you have lighted.
Hey, Hi. Even as a person who literally writes for a living, I'm always at a loss for words. Thank you. Thank you for summoning courage and coming out of the shadows for a second to send me this message. I want you to know it moved me to tears (don't worry, crying's healthy.) It's not messed up to feel less alone by listening to my stories, because you're right. Almost everything I write, I have experienced in some kinda way. That includes breaking free from control, running away, and living in my car and suddenly not knowing who the hell I even was (not from my parents though, as in Caro's case.) My writing is and has always been a way to process and express my own grief, healing, yearning, and wishing, identity, and sexuality. The fact that it can hit other people who might be going through or went through similar things actually makes it even more worth while to me. And you don't need to be sad for the things I've gone through, because it brought me here. Almost middle-aged, the bad times feel like an old nightmare I can barely remember, Breathing, Heart beating, ALIVE and with stories to tell, and if I'm lucky, some hope to share. Cuz there is hope, and don't you forget that.
Thank you again, from the very bottom of my heart. This whole message is really so special to me in the deepest most profound way possible. I want to reply to the last paragraph with something great to say, you know what I mean? Words are hard though. So instead I'll thank you again, and I'll ask that you have that same grace for yourself too, and leave you with a little drawing of a kid figuring out their life, even though they feel really lost right now, the wonderful thing about Caro's story is that we already know it's going to be ok one day. -RJ
