Story is under the cut (and also will be posted on my AO3!):
The Farmer’s back hit the mattress with a thud, and she laughed as her head made contact with the pillow. “Why do I feel like I’m in high school again?” Shane shrugged before laying on top of his girlfriend, planting sloppy kisses on her neck.
“Careful, we only have 20 minutes before my mom comes up with apple slices and a juice box,” he murmured into her ears. The Farmer laughed and slid her fingers through his hair as he began sucking on her earlobe.
Robin was working on the Farmer’s house today, frequently trekking in and out of every room while muttering quietly about old building codes, and Jas was out on a field trip. Marnie was Yoba-knows-where, most likely at her not-boyfriend’s house, so after the couple’s picnic in the Cindersap Forest, it only made sense to return to Marnie’s to continue the date. Shane had been surprised how his girlfriend had practically jumped on him the moment they were inside, kissing him between giggles and whispering sweet nothings into his ear.
Not that he was complaining. He had brought her to his bedroom, just on the off chance that Marnie or Jas came home early and spotted them making out on the couch. He had one arm propping himself up against her side now, his fingers tangled in her long, black hair, the other pawing at a breast over the Farmer’s shirt. His lips were on hers, occasionally his tongue slipping in. One of her hands was still entwined in his hair, the other cupping the side of his face.
The Farmer’s head tilted back slightly, and Shane jumped on the opportunity to kiss down her jaw, tongue circling her earlobe before gently pulling on it with his teeth. He heard a small sigh escape the Farmer’s lips and smiled, trailing kisses down her neck, his tongue now on her collarbone. He felt her hand leave his face and trail down his arm, coming to a rest on top of the hand he had placed on her breast.
“Well, now it really feels like high school.” Shane lifted his head and observed the coy look on his girlfriend’s face. She winked and leaned up, placing a kiss on the tip of his nose. “Here.”
The Farmer, much stronger than she appeared, managed to roll the two of them over on the bed, Shane now below her, his own head against the mattress as she sat upright straddling his hips. The sudden change in position made him suddenly aware of the erection that was quickly growing, now that there was pressure almost directly on it.
The Farmer, upright, quickly pulled her shirt off and tossed it toward a nearby chair. Shane smiled up at her as she began to work on her bra, arms behind her as she fidgeted with the clasp. He sat up the best he could below her and reached his hands around, offering to aid in the effort: “Here.”
“My hero!” She laughed as he unhooked the bra and tossed it haphazardly across his room before wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing her face closer to his. Shane gave her a kiss on the cheek and winked.
“Eh, don’t sweat it. Nothing too difficult for a pro like me.” The Farmer rolled her eyes, but her smile remained.
“Oh, shut up.” She pulled his lips up to hers and kissed him, much rougher than the two had been before. Shane rocked slightly, trying to find their rhythm, before propping himself upright with one arm as he rolled a hard nipple between his fingers with the other. The Farmer let out a soft moan into his mouth; if Shane was only getting hard before, he was like a rock now.
She laid on top of him, kissing, biting, whispering sweet nothings into his ears, holding one of his arms pinned back above his head. Shane was using the other hand to try and grab at the breasts pressed against his own chest, or weave his fingers up through her hair. Finally, he struggled to push her back up into a seated position, her straddling him, head just above his own. As he looked up at her, her eyes dark and gazing back into his own, he couldn’t help but recognize that he loved her.
He really did! He knew that he had loved her, differently, before. As a friend, one who saved him from himself, who helped him through his recovery. When he kissed her at that game, almost three months ago, he had been so afraid of ruining the friendship entirely. Instead the Farmer just laughed and kissed him again, wrapping her hands around his neck to pull him in closer.
He was brought back to the present by the feeling of her lips against his. She kissed so slow and sweet before pulling just slightly away, the tips of their noses still touching.
“Hey.” Her voice was low, much lower than how she usually spoke. He felt his cock twitch, pressed just below her own hips and wasn’t sure whether to pray that she could feel it or not. They had touched each other before, sure, but had yet to go further than that. It had been a while since Shane had slept with anybody, even longer since he was sober, and neither he nor the Farmer had wanted to rush things.
“Hey.” He smiled back at her, their eyes meeting. He had wanted to tell her he loved her, truly, but was afraid it would seem disingenuous considering their current activity, and didn’t want her to think he was saying it just to get something. Not that he thought she would, but he was still afraid. A simple ‘hey’ would do for now.
They almost swayed back and forth for a second, drunk on each other as their lips moved closer and closer, before Shane decided to move in an opposite direction. He ducked his head down and began to kiss the Farmer’s neck, her chest, making his way down to her breasts with his tongue.
She rolled her head back as she let out a breathy whimper, which Shane took as an invitation to go harder. He bit and sucked at one nipple, manipulating the other with his hand, pinching and rolling it as she whispered a number of explicatives above him. He continued to tease as he felt the twitching in his pants again, before realizing the Farmer was grinding her hips into him, perhaps without realizing it.
It all became too much when he heard her moan his name, a quiet “Shane, fuck.” He released the nipple that had been in his mouth and laid flat on the bed, out of breath. Her eyes opened and she looked down, her mouth an O, concern in her eyes.
“Oh! Shane, babe, are you okay? I didn’t like, do something, did I?” Yoba, she was hot when she was concerned. Shane shook his head.
“No! I mean, yes, I mean…” He trailed off, rubbing a hand over his face. “I would just really like to, um, I just— I bought condoms. You know. If you want to.” He bit his lip and peeked out at the Farmer between his fingers. She was still on top of him, and he could practically see a buffering sign in her eyes as she processed his proposition. He pressed his eyes shut and moved both hands to the top of his head.
“I mean, we don’t have to but I— um, we’re gonna have to readjust or I might—” He hadn’t even finished his sentence when the Farmer���s lips were on his once more, her tongue slipping between his lips.
If he had thought her kisses were hungry before, they were ravenous now. She had one arm above his head, her fingers interlacing with his own. Her other hand was reaching down, pawing at the painful erection above the sweatpants before slipping her hand beneath the waistband and squeezing it. She elicited a sharp gasp from Shane as she slowly pulled her hand up along it as she kissed her way to his ear.
“Yeah, yes, I— yeah.” Her breath was hot against his ear and he could hear the smile in her voice. He had been surprised by the enthusiastic response, but now could only focus on the feeling of hot desire burning within him.
He roughly reached for her hand that had been in her pants and pulled it out, using the momentum to flip the Farmer onto her back. He held her arms up above her head with one hand pressed over her wrists, the other working quickly on the buttons of her jeans.
Once undone, he slipped his hand in, his fingers quickly slipping between the wet folds. She moaned into his mouth, shivering as he began to rub, waiting to hear the noise she made when he found the right spot. He felt her shoulders tense below him accompanied by a sharp inhale, and began to focus there. He tried to slide her jeans further with his wrist in a weird shaking motion that he knew probably wouldn’t work, but attempted anyway.
“Sh-shane—” He nodded, trying to reach a finger further back. “Shane.” His finger found the hole, and he circled it slowly once before barely slipping the finger in. The pants are gonna have to go, he thought. “Shane!”
He looked up when the Farmer yelled. He pulled his hand back out of her pants, unsure of her tone. She had a goofy smile, but obviously had stopped him for something.
“The condom?” Now he paused to think before jumping up and moving towards the closet, his erection embarrassingly visible in his sweatpants. He had hidden a box in a bag on the top shelf, far above where Jas could snoop. He found the package and pulled a condom out, kicked off his pants and rolled the condom on. His fingers reached for the bottom hem of his shirt, but he paused.
Had she seen him without a shirt before? He knew that she knew he was a bit… thicker, but being naked in front of her suddenly felt daunting. Would it be strange if he kept his shirt on? He turned slightly to look at his girlfriend who was seated on the edge of his bed, taking off her remaining sock. She turned to look at him, her expression brightening when she made eye contact with him. Her eyes flicked down to where Shane’s hands were fidgeting with his shirt and smiled when she met his gaze again.
“Whatever makes you comfortable, babe.” Yoba, he really loved her. She made him comfortable. He quickly removed his shirt and made his way back to the bed, the Farmer smiling and laughing as she reached for his face.
He sank into her when he found her mouth again, laying her back on the bed as he slowly climbed on top of her. His hand made its way back down her body, and Shane quickly slipped a finger inside. The Farmer let out a small gasp, but smiled and tilted her head back, enjoying the sensation.
She opened her eyes when he pulled his finger out, and watched Shane through her eyelashes as he lined himself up above her. Shane thrust, a groan escaping his lips as he felt her cunt so hot and tight around him. The Farmer lifted her legs up around his hips for a better angle, closing her eyes and breathing his name as he continued to rut against her.
Shane hooked an arm underneath one of her legs to try and angle her up even farther, hitting deeper within. She moaned out louder now, Shane’s focus alternating between the bouncing breasts below him and her face, beautifully twisted in ecstasy.
“Oh, shit, Shane, you feel so good.” The Farmer wasn’t usually one to swear so freely, and the need in her voice sent Shane closer to the edge. He began to thrust more aggressively, the sound of skin on skin growing louder as the Farmer whimpered below him.
The orgasm came quicker than Shane had hoped as he slammed into her, groaning as he came. He continued to thrust until it became almost unbearable and pulled out, flopping onto his back next to the Farmer. She rolled onto her side, her hands on his chest, his arms, his face, planting small kisses on his cheeks and cooing sweet nothing into his ears.
After his head cleared, he stood up and removed the condom and threw it in a nearby trash. He laid back down on the bed, and began to kiss his girlfriend. She giggled, leaning her head back.
“That was fun.” He opened his eyes, and could have sworn that the Farmer’s were sparkling (could it be the same love he felt?) as she regarded him. He smiled, and leaned in again.
“It’s not over yet.” He kissed her again, making his way to her neck as he climbed on top.
“What do you mean?” The Farmer was playing coy, and he knew it. Even as she was asking the question, she had wrapped her arms back around Shane’s neck and tilted her head to give him better access.
“You felt so amazing, babe, and I just need to make you feel that way too.” His speech was muffled, his lips pressed firmly against her breasts. She tried to laugh, but he could feel her squirming below him.
“Being close with you was treat enough.” Shane looked up from her chest, staring at the face above him. It looked like she truly meant it. He shook his head and smiled.
“Mmm… I don’t think that was the answer I was looking for, ma’am,” he said as he plunged two fingers inside of her, quickly pumping in and out. It took her by surprise and she gasped loudly and dug her fingernails into Shane’s scalp.
His fingers were quick, pumping in and out of her tight hole then teasing her clit while he listened to her whimper above him. She pulled up on his hair, drawing his attention from the hickey he was leaving on her breast.
“Sh-Shane… please come here.” He let out a small laugh as he tried to move his head up to hers while his fingers still reached her clit. She roughly pulled his face to hers, her kisses desperate as she moaned into his mouth.
He suddenly felt the walls around his fingers tense and pulse, a rush of liquid around them as she tilted her head back once more, letting out an almost pained moan as she came. He pulled his fingers out and rubbed at her clit, almost over stimulating her as she rode out the orgasm, her hips bucking below his hand.
When it ended, she kissed him again, deep and slow. Shane moved to lay flat on his back, and the Farmer curled into his side with her head on their chest, the couple breathing heavily. Finally, the Farmer stretched, her arms reaching above her head before wrapping them around Shane’s shoulder.
“I think I could really use that juice box and apple slices right now.” Shane shook his head, laughing.
Yeah, this was definitely love.

_______
After another late night out, the group of four stumbled into the pizza shop they frequented regularly - Sophie leaned on Rafe, Colin was walking like he hadn’t had a drink all night, and James was leaning on the other side of Rafe, like liquid when he was drunk. Rafe fished his AmEx out of his pocket like usual and slid it across the counter, authoritative. “Hey man, how’s your night? We’ll take a large pepperoni.”
The cashier shrugged, pointing to the sign on the register. “Cash only, dude. Sorry man.”
“Damn, cash-only? Since when?” Colin lamented, turning to leave the pizza shop.
“Oh!” Sophie’s face lit up. “I know what to do.” She went to pull up the hem of her tank top and Rafe grabbed her insanely quick, arms wrapped tight around her chest. “Absolutely fucking not, Sophie.”
“I’m just using my assets!” She protested, squirming in his grip. He kept a tight hold on her, practically frog marching her out of the shop.
James laughed, shaking his head. “Bold move, Soph. I appreciate the effort.”
“Not in a million fucking years.” Rafe grumbled, holding her tight.
“This is blatant misogyny.” She argued, trying to wrestle her way out of his arms.
He didn’t let her move an inch. “By not letting you show your tits?”
“Yes. They’re great tits, the world deserves to see them.��
“Good god.” He sighed, only letting her go when she stopped moving. “No. Only I deserve to see them.”
“No, dude, I think she has a point. That sounds pretty misogynistic to me.” James pointed out, only for Rafe to sock him in the arm.
“Don’t ever talk about her tits again -"
“I wasn’t technically talking about her tits, I was talking about the concept -"
As the two started to wrestle, Sophie slipped back inside the pizza shop. She found three dollars in her pocket and gave it to the cashier, then returned with two large slices of pizza, handing one to Colin. The boys stopped wrestling abruptly when they saw the exchange. “Hey, wait, I want one.” Rafe protested.
“No. You didn’t let me show off my boobs.” She replied primly, taking a large bite of the pizza.
“You didn’t - Sophie. No. You didn’t.” He glanced back and forth between her and the pizza shop, confused.
Sophie grinned, strolling forward to link arms with Colin and kept walking, with no response.
Colin smirked and leaned down, whispering. “Are you gonna tell him you found cash or should I?”
“Nah. He’ll get over it.” She shrugged and tapped her crust against his. “Cheers.”
“Cheers.”
Rafe jogged to catch up, walking next to the two of them. “Wait, I want some. I’m hungry too.”
She made a show of taking a big bite. “Mmm. I’m sure you are. It’s really good, Rafe.”
He frowned. “Can I have the crust at least? You never eat the crust.”
“I dunno, this crust is really good this time.” She replied. “Are we still going to my place?”
“We’re going to your place?” James chimed in, unsure. He nearly tripped over his feet as he tried to shove himself in on the sidewalk so they walked four across. “I wanna go home instead.”
“No, you two aren’t coming.” Rafe shook his head, then looked to Sophie for confirmation. “Right?”
She finished the majority of the pizza and handed the rest to Rafe, holding back a smile at the grin that lit up his face. “Yeah, it’s just us. Unless you guys want to…?”
“No, we’ll go home.” Colin nodded up at the upcoming intersection. “This is us anyways, we’ll see you ‘round. James, this way, buddy.”
“Bye!” James waved, peeling off with Colin. Once they were out of sight and Rafe finished the pizza, he glanced over at her, unsure.
“You didn’t really flash that guy, did you?”
“Might have.” She shrugged. “Does it matter?”
“Yes, it matters.”
“Okay. No, I didn’t, I found cash in my pocket. I would have though.”
“I know you would have.” He grumbled. “How drunk are you?”
She squinted, holding up her thumb and her pointer finger close together. “Only a lil’ bit. We can still hook up, if that’s what you’re suggesting.”
He groaned, rolling his eyes. “You have to stop calling it hooking up. We’ve been dating for nearly a year.”
“Eleven months is not nearly a year.” She retorted, checking her hip against his. “What do you wanna do?”
“We’re still sticking to that November date instead of Halloween? Huh?”
“Yeah. We are. What position?” He could tell she was drunk because she spoke a little too loudly, her tongue slipping over some of her words. “We could do reverse cowgirl, 69 - we haven’t tried that, um -”
“Sophie -”
“Missionary, I guess, but that’s kind of boring -”
“Jesus, Soph, please shut up -”
She raised her eyebrows, stepping in front of him to cut him off. “Excuse me?”
He sighed and reached into his pockets, adjusting his shorts, and was thankful it was dark enough to hide his situation. “You’re excused. Can we go home?”
Her eyes flicked down to below his belt and back up to his eyes, with a smug grin. “What are you gonna do to me?”
“Sophie.”
“I bet you wouldn’t even last if I go down on you. You’re so predictable.” Sophie smirked, knowing she was pushing Rafe to his limit.
He reacted instantly, reaching out and catching her forearm and pinned her against a parked car in the alley, caging her in around her head with his forearms.
She inhaled sharply, caught off guard with wide eyes.
He grinned, leaned in close and whispered in her ear. “What was that?”
“Um. I, uh, I don’t know.” She stuttered, feeling her knees go a little weak as his lips brushed against the shell of her ear.
“Something about me being predictable?” He supplied, giving her a kiss on the cheek then pulled away like nothing had happened. “Hm?”
She took a moment to compose herself, swallowing hard. “You’ve done that before.”
“No I haven’t.” He argued, taking her hand.
“You have.” She nodded, slipping her hand into his. “Halloween, when I finally told you how I felt.”
“You remember that?”
“I remember every damn detail of that night.” She replied with a grin, her eyes bright. “You combed back your hair but had one little strand out of place, it kept falling into your eyes on top of your glasses. When you kissed me I was almost convinced to hook up with you right then and there but I was afraid I’d ruin it and you wouldn’t want to see me again.”
“Sophie.” His tone took on a serious edge and he slowed their pace a little so he could look her in the eye. “No matter what had happened that night, I knew I had to find a way to keep talking to you after that class. Hell, I’d have settled on going back to arguing every day if I meant I’d still get to see you.”
She blushed, grateful they made it to her house and even more grateful her roommates were back at the bar. “You’d still fight with me?”
He nodded, punching in his code to let them in. “I would.”
“About what?”
“I don’t know, about the stupid shit we always fought about.”
“Give me an example.” She stepped close, trapping him in between the kitchen counter and her body.
He held back an amused smile at the way she tried to take charge. “Like how you think you can get away with grinding on me at the bar with no consequences. Or how you leaned across the bar, with this top so loose and low cut that I can practically see your nipples right now, so the bartender would give you free drinks. Twice.”
She noticed his eyes darkened a little and she stood taller as a sly smirk spread across her face. “I wasn’t flirting.”
“Better not be.” He flipped positions with her quicker than she could process what was going on, lifting her up onto the counter and slotting himself in between her legs. “I don’t want anyone else even thinking they have a shot with you.”
She wrapped her legs around his waist instinctually. “I can’t help it if other people flirt.”
“You can not encourage them.” He kissed her hard, his hands immediately going to her waist. “Twirling your hair, doing that thing where you try to look all innocent with me - yes, exactly, that -”
She grinned, biting her lip as she blinked up at him. “I’m not doing anything, Cameron.”
“You absolutely are, Flint.” He growled, slipping his hands under her ass and lifting her off the counter. “You and your fucking bedroom eyes.”
“You do it more, you know.” She informed him with a smirk. “You smolder.”
“I smolder?”
“Yes. Your eyes just kind of...linger on me, then you meet my eyes, and then you lick your lips. Sometimes you’ll rub the back of your neck too, and I’m pretty sure that’s just so you can show off and flex your arms.”
“None of that is intentional.”
“Well it works.” She laughed, yelping as he started walking up the stairs. “I can handle myself -”
“You shouldn’t have to.” He cut her off with a kiss, biting her bottom lip. “Fucking tease.”
“I’m not teasing.” She insisted, breathless as he gripped her ass a little tighter, pressing her against the wall at the top of the stairs. “Fuck, Rafe.”
“Yeah?” He kissed her again, running the tip of his tongue along her lips. “Tell me what you want.”
“You taste like pizza crust.” She mumbled, laughing when he pulled back with a quizzical expression. “Sorry. Sorry. Got distracted.”
Rafe rolled his eyes, carefully setting her down. “Fine, I’ll go brush my teeth -”
“No!” She grabbed his wrist as he moved to walk down the hallway. “C’mere. Need you.”
A slow smirk spread across his cheeks as he stepped back in her space, reaching out to tuck a piece of hair behind her ear. “Yeah? You need me, baby?”
She bit her lip, staring up at him with wide eyes as she nodded.
He slowly stepped forward, gently pushing her up against the wall as he slid one of his thighs in between hers, his chest touching hers with every rise and fall of their breath. “Tell me.”
“Tell you…?” She echoed, hands going to his waist.
“Tell me. Tell me what you want.”
Sophie blushed, breaking eye contact. “Rafe, I’m not gonna -”
“Fine, then I won’t touch you.” He replied, raising his hands as he backed away with a smug smile, but he barely got back before she wrapped her hand around the back of his neck, yanking him down to her level so she could kiss him, hard.
“Stop, fuck, you’re teasing.”
“I’m -” He pulled back just enough to lift her up, tapping the back of her thighs to signal for her to wrap her legs around his waist. “Fuck. M’not. Just wanna hear you.”
“Oh, you’ll hear me.” She promised, sucking a spot against his neck. “You’ll hear me, baby. All night.”
He paused, breath catching. “I kinda have a work meeting at 8am tomorrow -”
Sophie laughed, pecking his lips. “You know damn well when I say all night I don’t mean it.”
“Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, got it. Okay, fuck, keep saying sexy shit to me.” He exhaled, nodding quickly as he strode into her room and kicked the door shut behind him. The door slammed especially hard and she winced when he dropped her to the bed.
“C’mon, Cameron, door’s gonna jam now.”
“Don’t care. I’ll figure it out. Take your shirt off.”
“Demanding.”
“You like it when I’m in control.” He pointed out, grinning when she let him tug off her crop top and unbutton her jeans. “Okay, c’mon, hips up.”
She obliged, lifting her hips and helped wiggle the denim down her legs. He pressed kisses down her thighs as he tugged them off, grinning.
“Fuck, you’re hot.”
“I know.”
He just laughed, pulling back to tug his shirt over his head. “I love your confidence.”
“I love you.” She replied, moving a little up the bed.
Rafe beamed ear to ear, fumbling with the button on his corduroy pants. “I’m never gonna get tired of that. Ever. Fuck. Will you?”
“Will I get tired of it?”
“No, my -” He gestured helplessly at his stuck button, yanking on his pants. “It’s these new pants you convinced me to buy, I look like I’m straight out of a fucking Ralph Lauren ad.”
“Oh, so nothing new.”
“Sophie -” he sighed, exasperated, but cut himself off quickly when her fingers teased under the waistband of his boxers. “No, keep going.”
“Magic word?” She tugged him forward, pushing his pants down to pool around his ankles until he kicked them aside.
“Suck me off?”
“Rafe.”
“Oh, sorry. Please suck me off?”
“Rafe Cameron.” She rolled her eyes, flicking his abs, and got up on her knees on the bed then pulled him down to kiss him, hard.
“Sophie Flint.” He grinned, running his fingers through her hair. “God, you’re so fucking pretty.”
“Keep that up, really does wonders for my ego.” She breathed out, moaning when he tugged on her hair a little. “Fuck. I need you.”
“But I wanted to -”
“Rafe.” She pleaded, looking up at him with doe eyes, and that was all he needed to reach into his nightstand and grab a condom.
“Okay, okay, hold on -”
“We don’t have to -”
“Yes, we have to, you nearly broke up with me last time we didn’t -”
“I did not -” Sophie huffed, exasperated. “Are you going to fuck me or not?”
“Fuck you? Baby, I’m gonna -” He grinned, making Sophie roll her eyes before he even opened his mouth again, and sang, horribly off key. “I’ll make love to you…like you want me to…”
“You’re so weird when you’re drunk.” She giggled, grabbing his hand to tug him onto the bed, shaking her head as he stood there, completely naked, singing way louder than he should have been for nearly 3am on a Sunday.
“You love it. Love me.” He insisted, letting his full weight fall on top of her as he pinned her to the bed.
Sophie grinned, grabbing his chin so she could kiss him properly. “I do.”
“Yes, I’ll marry you.” He replied with a grin, kissing her hard and slow, swiping his tongue against her lips.
“Stooooppp.” She whined, blushing. “Get in me already.”
“I love it when you talk dirty to me.” He smirked, gripping her hips. “Tell me more.”
“I don’t know why you’re dragging this out when you could literally be fucking me right -"
“Making love -"
“Okay, Romeo, whatever you say -"
He laughed, clearly not concerned about time, and leaned down to press a kiss to her lips. “Love you.”
“Love you too. Please fuck me.”
“Yes ma’am.”

Slightly Gayer
[ao3]
7.3k words post-15x18 domestic Dean/Cas (loosely) inspired by this artwork by skepticalfrog
Dean is sitting at the kitchen table drinking his coffee and halfheartedly scrolling through the news. He can’t focus because his eyes keep drifting over to the other side of the kitchen, where Cas is cooking breakfast and talking on the phone with Claire.
Cas looks different, is the thing. He’s wearing a pair of bright green boxer briefs and one of Dean’s old gray t-shirts, neither of which fit him right. Since becoming human, Cas exercises constantly, stacking his arms and legs with thickly corded muscle.
But he eats, too, and loves eating as much as Dean does, so his stomach juts out big and round from his muscular chest, several inches of tan underbelly visible out of the bottom of Dean’s shirt. The fabric is caught in the crease between his chest and belly, taut around the outline of his nipple rings. The sleeves are also too tight around his biceps, revealing the Enochian tattoos that extend from shoulder to elbow of each arm.
Dean knows what Cas looks like, of course he knows. He knows every inch of his perfect body. But the way Cas moves, Dean is still getting used to. Still studying.
Cas has the phone tucked between his shoulder and ear, his hands occupied with making pancakes and eggs. He has his weight shifted to one hip, his butt sticking out even more than it already does, and he keeps waving the spatula around animatedly as he talks. He takes a drink of coffee, then scratches his belly, then gestures with his hand, flipping his wrist rather...limply.
He turns around to the kitchen island to plate the pancakes and catches Dean staring at him. He smiles and winks in his direction while continuing his conversation with Claire.
Dean tries to look back down at his phone. He makes it about five seconds before his eyes find their way over to Cas again. He takes a long drink of coffee and sets his mug down as he stands up. He strides over to Cas and comes at him from behind, wrapping his arms around his middle and burying his face in his soft neck. He kisses the tattoo that’s on the juncture of Cas’ collarbone and neck—Dean’s name in Enochian.
“I’ve gotta go, Claire,” Cas says, his voice as deep and gravelly as ever. “Tell Kaia I said hello. Yes. OK, bye.”
Dean squeezes Cas’ belly and presses long, slow kisses to his neck.
Cas turns the stove off and moves the eggs over to a different burner. His hands, now free, fold over top of Dean’s. He laces their fingers together.
“Claire said they’re thinking of coming by to visit in a few days,” Cas says, leaning his weight back against Dean.
“Mm. Good.” Dean continues his kisses.
Cas huffs a laugh and rubs his hand up and down Dean’s forearm. “Feeling affectionate this morning?”
“Always. C’mere.” He tugs at Cas to get him to turn around in his arms, then he fits his hands to his hips and presses his flat torso against Cas’ gut before leaning over and kissing him on the lips.
Cas puts a hand to the side of Dean’s face and the other on the counter behind him, supporting his weight against it. He moans into the kiss, pushing his tongue hungrily into Dean’s mouth and rolling his hips in an intoxicating rhythm.
They stop after a few minutes. Cas keeps his hand on Dean’s face, rubbing the pad of his thumb back and forth across his cheek as he smiles softly up at him.
“What?” Dean asks self-consciously. He circles his own thumbs into Cas’ love handles.
“Nothing,” Cas replies, his smile widening. “You’re just very beautiful.”
Dean ducks back in for another quick kiss. Then, “You move differently than you used to.”
Cas tilts his head to the side, furrows his brow. “What do you mean?”
“You’re, uh, I don’t know. Your mannerisms...you’re more feminine. Gayer.”
Cas laughs and drops his head forward. His hand falls away from Dean’s face, and he flips it out palm up. “Well, Dean, I am gay.”
Now Dean is laughing. He pulls Cas closer to him and once again pushes his face against his neck. “You were just so stiff before.” He pulls back again and looks Cas in the eye. “I don’t like thinking that you were, I don’t know, holding yourself back. Repressed.”
Cas barks out a laugh. “Yes, please, tell me more about how I was repressed.”
“Yeah, yeah, shut up.” He squeezes a soft hip. “I’m starving, let’s eat.”
They sit perpendicular to each other at the kitchen table. Cas rubs one socked foot up and down Dean’s calf while they eat.
“Do I move different?” Dean asks with a mouthful of eggs.
Cas frowns at him, mug of coffee in his hand. “Is that a trick question?”
“Oh god, I do, don’t I?”
“Well, first of all, Dean, your voice is an octave higher than it used to be.”
Dean blushes and shoves more food in his mouth, avoiding eye contact.
Cas leans his elbows on the table, closer to Dean. “And you carry yourself differently. You’ve always been confident in your body, but you don’t posture anymore. You carry yourself in a more relaxed way—like when we’re walking, and you keep one hand in your pocket and the other holding mine. You don’t puff your chest out so much, and it makes you look more natural.”
“Gayer?”
Cas laughs again. “Yes, Dean, I think when you, uh, rub my lower back and kiss my temple while we wait in line at the grocery store or something, you definitely look gayer than you did before.”
Dean reaches over and tangles their hands together, swinging them back and forth playfully on top of the table. “Can’t help it,” he says gently. “If you’re near me, I gotta touch.”
They smile shyly at each other. Cas eventually moves Dean’s hand up to his mouth and kisses his knuckles. “I’m not too gay for you, am I? My mannerisms don’t bother you?”
Dean rolls his eyes. “You’re fishing for a compliment.”
“So give me one.”
He scoots his chair closer to Cas’ and moves his hand under the table, spreading his fingers over one of Cas’ thick thighs and squeezing the soft muscle. “I’m fucking thrilled that you’re comfortable in your own skin, sweetheart. I love the new ways you move, and I love how you’ve made your body your own. I get distracted staring at you so much that I can’t even read one crap news article without looking at you.”
Cas takes a deep breath. A tear slips down his cheek, and he wipes it away delicately. “I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to hearing you say stuff like that to me. Not even in my most self-indulgent fantasies did I imagine...”
Dean laughs and tugs on Cas’ shirtsleeve, coaxing him over to him, patting his legs so Cas straddles his lap. Once they’re settled, Dean rubs soothing circles into Cas’ back fat and looks up at him reverently.
“I’ll always think you deserve better than me, but, uh,” Dean starts. “I guess if you want me instead of somebody better, then I gotta be the best version of myself. I’m sorry I wasn’t this me sooner.”
Cas presses their foreheads together. “You mean this gayer version?”
Dean laughs into a kiss. “Only took you confessing your love and dying for me to get my head out of my ass.”
Cas puts a finger to the tip of Dean’s nose. “No, actually, it took more than that. Seven months after I came back, Dean. It took you seven months.”
Dean winces. “Worth the wait?”
Cas sighs and kisses Dean’s cheek before climbing laboriously off his lap, grunting as his gut shifts. He pulls at the hem of his boxer briefs to get them down over his huge thighs; Dean pinches his butt as he walks away.
In the time it takes Cas to refill their coffee mugs, Dean’s phone rings.
“Hey, Sammy,” Dean answers.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Sam asks.
As Cas comes back and hands Dean a mug, sliding his arm gently across his shoulders before making his way to his seat, Dean says, “Having breakfast with the love of my life. What do you need?”
“Eileen and I are going on a hunt, gonna take a few days. Can we drop Jack by later today?”
“What? The kid can’t stay by himself in the bunker?”
Cas flattens his lips and raises his eyebrows, silently chastising Dean. Dean throws his hand up and shrugs.
“He’s 4, Dean,” Sam says.
“He’s as powerful as God, Sam.”
Jack’s voice comes through the phone, sounding far away. “I don’t like staying here by myself. It’s lonely.”
“Of course you can stay here, kid,” Dean says loudly enough for Jack to hear. To Sam, he says, “But make sure you stop by the store on your way and pick up some food for him, because Cas and I are on a diet.”
“Seriously?” Sam asks.
“No,” Dean scoffs. “C’mon, dude. I’m sure the kid’ll be thrilled to get some real food instead of whatever rabbit food crap you and Eileen feed him.”
Cas snorts a laugh and tucks back into his stack of pancakes, pouring more syrup over them before taking a bite. Dean watches him, obsessed with the dainty way he holds his fork.
“You know, it’s gonna catch up to you one day,” Sam says. “You’ll wake up and suddenly realize you look like Cas.”
“Mm,” Dean hums, eyes still glued to Cas. “You mean I’ll be hot as shit?”
Cas winks at him.
“Yeah, I walked right into that one,” Sam mutters. “See you this afternoon.”
“Bye, Sam.” He hangs up.
“I don’t know why you goad him into judging our eating habits,” Cas says. “He asks about my weight every time I lift with him.”
“What? I’ll kill him.”
“No, it’s—”
“Where’s my gun? I’m gonna kill him.”
“Dean,” Cas says, exasperated. “He only asks because he doesn’t see me every day. You’d notice I was getting bigger, too, if you only saw me every week or so.”
Dean pouts at him, offended. “I touch you and stare at you constantly every day, of course I fucking notice. You’re big, Cas. And you take good care of yourself. Sam can mind his own fucking business.”
“I don’t need you to defend my honor to your brother, you insane man.” Cas stands and picks up their plates to take them to the sink. “And you need to limit the number of ‘fucks’ you say when Jack gets here.”
“Jesus, when did you become such a nagging wife?”
Cas turns away from the sink, sets a hand on the shelf of his belly, and says in a deadpan, “When I became pregnant with our third child.”
It’s a joke he stole from Dean, but Dean still lets out an embarrassing laugh like it’s the first time he’s heard it. He then joins Cas in the kitchen, hugging him from behind again and sneaking a hand up under his shirt so he can cup one of his pecs, teasing his thumb over his piercing. He kisses the shell of his ear as he mumbles, “I’ll clean up in here. I know you wanna go work out.”
Cas shuffles around in his arms and kisses him languidly. Even though they’ve been together for months and have shared at least a thousand kisses, a thrilling warmth washes over Dean’s body every time Cas initiates.
“What?” Cas asks gently when they break apart.
Dean kisses him again, squeezes his sides. “I just love you so much.”
Cas fights his smile and fails. He runs a hand up through Dean’s hair, which Dean is growing out, because Cas likes to touch it. “I love you so much, too.”
“C’mere.” Dean pulls him into a hug, wrapping his arms around his back and holding him tight, nuzzling his face in his neck while Cas fists his hands in the back of Dean’s t-shirt. “Loved you for so long. Should’ve told you sooner.”
“Yeah, you should’ve.” Cas squeezes him. “I should’ve, too.”
Dean clears his throat as they break apart. “We’ve turned into the biggest fucking saps. Go, go lift your silly weights.” He shoos Cas out of the kitchen and smacks his butt as he goes. “And hey! Don’t forget to walk your sweaty body through here on your way to the shower.”
Over his shoulder, Cas says, “Of course. I would never deprive you of that, Dean.”
When Dean finishes cleaning the kitchen, he heads to the living room where they’ve set up a workspace to help hunters out. Sure, it would be easier to do the job from the bunker, but Dean and Cas wanted their own space, a homier environment for hunters to stop by and rest. They have a room for Jack, a room for Claire and Kaia, and two extra bedrooms for anybody else who shows up—although, one of the rooms is half-full of Cas’ exercise equipment.
Dean has his eye on a rundown bar down the road, too, but not enough time has passed since they committed crimes to get a loan for their house, so he has to wait before they can buy it.
While Dean is doing research for a case that Garth is working on, Jody calls.
“Yeah, go ahead,” Dean answers, putting her on speaker.
“I’m three hours from your place,” she says, sounding tired. “Can you guys take the kid again for just, like, one week? Please.”
“Yeah. Yeah, of course, Jody,” Dean replies, his posture straightening with excitement. “But you already knew that, because you’re already driving her over here.”
Jody laughs. “Yeah. Thanks, Dean. See you soon.”
Dean shoots a text to Sam: Raven’s gonna be here, too. ETA?
Sam texts back right away: Whenever we feel like it o’clock.
Bitch, Dean types.
Whore, Sam replies.
When Dean and Cas got together, they didn’t get the chance to tell Sam. They were on a hunt, and Sam was at the motel doing research while Dean and Cas ate dinner at a bar nearby. Cas was talking about the case and reached over and stole a fry off of Dean’s plate, and something about the gesture broke something inside of Dean. He blurted out, “I love you, too,” like a fucking idiot, causing Cas to nearly choke on the fry.
The truth was that Dean was in shock when Cas came back from the Empty, and he could not believe that this ancient unknowable being actually loved him. But then Cas was human, and ordinary, and he grew more comfortable around Dean as his body filled out. Easy warmth and affection radiated from him, like loving Dean was as natural to him as breathing.
And Dean knew that his own feelings couldn’t be buried anymore. They were clawing their way to the surface with each day that passed, until finally they burst free with an I love you, too over a stolen goddamn French fry.
They finished their meal quickly and quietly, then they walked out to the Impala together and Dean couldn’t wait a second longer than the nearly 13 years he’d already waited, so he pushed Cas up against the driver’s side door and kissed him.
“Oh,” Cas breathed between their mouths.
“What?” Dean mumbled.
“I didn’t—realize—when—”
Dean moved to kissing Cas’ softening jaw and neck so that his mouth was free to talk.
“I wasn’t sure you meant you loved me like this,” Cas explained.
Dean abruptly pulled away. “Oh. Uh, did you not—we don’t have to if you don’t want—”
Cas cut him off with a bruising kiss. “No, no, I definitely want.”
“Thank god.”
It had taken all of their willpower to get in the car and drive back to the motel, and Dean had barely put her in park before dragging Cas to the backseat and messily stripping clothes off. There wasn’t nearly enough space, so they ended up rutting against each other while making out like horny teenagers, and that’s when Sam knocked on the window.
Dean cracked it the smallest amount, his body still tangled with Cas. “We’re a little busy here, Sammy.”
“Yeah, uh, I’m gonna get another room so you guys don’t have to do...this...out here.”
“Sammy, you’re the best brother in the world,” Dean said stupidly as he and Cas struggled out of the backseat, holding their clothes half-on, shirts and overshirts and jackets in hand and jeans unbuttoned. Dean dragged Cas by the hand up to their room.
And so Sam (homophobically, in Dean’s opinion) started calling Dean “whore” instead of “jerk.”
Dean is typing on his laptop when Cas clears his throat from the hall. Dean looks up immediately, raking his eyes up and down Cas’ glistening, swollen body as he walks shirtless toward their bedroom.
“Hey, hey, hey, no, come back here,” Dean says, scrambling to get up, tripping over his own feet, then finally making it to Cas so he can squeeze his biceps and press kisses to his sweaty shoulder.
Dean moves his mouth down Cas’ collarbone and chest, hunching his body so he can get a better angle as he works his tongue around a nipple ring.
Cas cards a hand through Dean's hair. “Do you want to shower with me?” he asks patiently.
Dean reluctantly lets go of his nipple and straightens up. “Does a bear shit in the woods?”
Their shower is just big enough for both of them, but it’s too difficult to do much more than wash each other’s bodies. They talk loudly to each other over the spray, which is why neither of them hear the front door open and Sam and Eileen announce their arrival.
Dean walks out to the kitchen wearing a towel around his waist and one around his hair. Sam and Eileen are making sandwiches while Jack sits on a barstool at the island reading a book.
“Oh, hey, guys,” Dean says. He grabs a La Croix out of the fridge and takes a long drink. “Didn’t hear you come in.”
Cas comes in next, wearing just boxer briefs, his wet hair dripping water onto his body. He greets everyone then puts a hand on the small of Dean’s back and kisses his cheek. He takes the La Croix right out of his hand and drinks it before giving it back.
“Cas, are your nipples pierced?” Eileen asks, shocked.
“Oh, yeah,” Cas says flippantly. He pats the tattoo of Dean’s name on his shoulder. “Dean talked me into it when I got this.”
Dean mutters, “Not like you needed much convincing.”
“So are you guys gonna bother putting clothes on, or…?” Sam asks bitchily.
“Oh, I’m so sorry for existing in my own house,” Dean teases. He settles against Cas’ side; Cas wraps his arm around his hip. “Maybe if somebody had told us when they would be here, we could’ve been ready.”
“Yeah, well, we were anxious to get here,” Sam says, looking pointedly at Eileen. “We have some news.”
“Uh-oh, this sounds like something I should be wearing clothes for,” Dean says.
“I’m pregnant,” Eileen says and signs. She makes a face like she’s sorry about it.
Cas sucks in a sharp breath. Dean’s eyes widen.
“Yeah, uh.” Sam sighs and throws a hand up. “We’re not totally sure how we feel about it, you know, never really planned on…”
“We don’t want to stop hunting,” Eileen finishes for him. “But if there’s a good reason to stop, this is it.”
“We can help,” Dean says quickly. He nervously sets his water down on the counter so he can sign and talk. “You know we’re always willing to take care of a kid. Especially a baby.” He looks over at Jack. “No offense, Jack.”
“I told them I would help, too,” Jack says cheerfully. “I would love a little brother or sister. And I can heal most injuries other than death, so if they keep hunting while Eileen is pregnant, it’ll be OK.”
“We’ll be here every step of the way,” Cas adds. “Whatever you need.”
“Yeah,” Sam says solemnly. “We know it’ll be OK, we’re just...I don’t know, I’m just not naturally maternal like you, Dean.”
“Come here, Sammy,” Dean says, walking away from Cas and putting his hand up on Sam’s shoulder to bring him down for a hug. “You’re already a great dad. You’re not gonna fuck the kid up, I promise.”
Sam laughs and squeezes Dean once before letting go. He frowns down at Dean’s bare torso and says, “OK, go get some clothes on, please.” Under his breath, he mutters, “I don’t understand how you and Cas even fit in a shower together.”
“Hey.” Dean points a menacing finger at him. “If you don’t lay off my boyfriend, he’s gonna use his massively buff arms to kick your ass.”
“No, I’m not,” Cas says in a monotone, flipping his wrist to blow Dean off. He kisses Eileen on the cheek as he leaves the kitchen.
“What? I’m not—I don’t care what Cas looks like,” Sam says. He opens the fridge and gestures dramatically to it. “I just think it would be good every now and then if you guys ate, like, one vegetable.” He looks Dean up and down. “Also the fact that Cas works out and you don’t, you look like a skinny little beanpole next to him. He makes you look ridiculous.”
Dean crosses his arms and pouts. “He likes how I look. Says it makes him feel big and strong when he picks me up.”
Sam and Eileen both laugh. Eileen asks, “He picks you up? What, like during sex?”
Dean blushes. He halfheartedly says and signs, “No, I mean, like, when I fall asleep on the couch and he carries me to our bed.”
Sam and Eileen laugh harder.
“I think it’s sweet,” Jack interjects. “I would never laugh at your relationship with Cas, Dean. You two love each other very much.”
Eileen rolls her eyes. “Yeah, perfect little angel over here has never said a mean word about anybody in his life. We get it, Jack, you’re better than us.”
Jack straightens his back and smiles, proud of himself. Dean passes by him on his way out of the kitchen and squeezes his shoulder in thanks.
“A baby, huh?” Dean asks excitedly as he rummages through his and Cas’ closet for some clothes. “We should plan on staying in the bunker with them for the first few months, you know, help them out and stuff.”
Cas scoffs from the master bath. “You just want to hold a newborn.”
“Yeah, so what?” Dean joins him in the bathroom, taking his towels off his head and waist and hanging them back up on the racks. He takes a piss while Cas stands at the sink messing with his hair.
Cas is wearing a pair of black joggers and a faded pink tank top, a denim overshirt sitting on the counter. A long chain rests against his chest between his big pecs, three rings hanging from them. Two of the rings are Dean’s old ones, and the third is a new one Dean picked out for him when they moved into their house together.
Dean checks his hip against Cas’, nudging him out of the way so he can wash his hands at the sink.
“Does it bother you that we can’t just accidentally have children?” Cas asks, turning toward Dean seriously, unaffected by his naked body.
“What? No,” Dean answers. “Why, does it bother you?”
“Maybe. I don’t know.”
Dean grabs deodorant and pushes Cas’ arm up so he can apply it for him. “We got plenty of kids, honey.” He does the other arm. “And we’re old. I don’t need us to be the sole provider of a child for the next 18 years.” He picks up the denim shirt and helps Cas put it on.
Cas places a gentle hand on Dean’s bare hip and rubs his thumb in circles against his skin. “I just think...I think about how perfect Jack is, and how if I was still an angel and could’ve borrowed a female vessel for a while, then maybe we could’ve…”
“Jesus Christ, Cas.” He pats the slope of his belly. “OK, no more jokes about you being pregnant. It’s fucking with your head.”
“Mm, yeah.” He leans forward and presses a kiss to Dean’s mouth. “Now be honest with me, does this shirt make me look fat?”
Dean laughs as Cas expands his big stomach out and pulls at the fabric of the tank top to make it tight.
“You look perfect, sweetheart.” Dean jiggles his belly. “Fat and very gay.”
“Thank you.”
Dean puts on his usual jeans and flannel over a plain black t-shirt. He also has a necklace with a ring Cas gave him, but he wears it under his clothes and out of sight. He likes feeling it against his skin.
They eat a quick lunch with everybody before Sam and Eileen head out for their hunt. Cas and Jack go in the backyard to tend to Cas’ garden, which is full of beautiful flowers and absolutely no vegetables.
Jody shows up right when she said she would, and she passes Raven off to Dean before she’s even stepped in the door.
“I’m gonna spend the night here if you don’t mind,” Jody announces as she kicks her boots off.
Dean is cooing at the baby and tickling her belly with one finger. Right now she has dark olive skin and a head full of black hair and big gray eyes, but that could change any minute. Jody got her just a few months ago when she was trying to help her mom, a teenage shapeshifter, but the girl had a lot of complications and died during childbirth. She asked Jody to name the baby Raven after Mystique from X-Men.
Jody, claiming that she’s too old to raise a baby on her own, brings Raven over to Dean and Cas’ for at least one week per month.
“Dean?” Jody presses.
“Hmm?”
“I said I’m gonna stay here tonight.”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s fine.” He kisses the baby’s head. “Cas and Jack are outside. Make yourself at home.”
Under her breath, Jody says, “Give a baby to Dean Winchester if you want him not to pay attention to you at all.” She walks to the kitchen and puts on a teapot.
Cas barges in the back door and makes a beeline for Dean, his hands outstretched. “Baby,” he commands.
Dean frowns but hands Cas the baby anyway. He knows if he tries to hog her, he and Cas will have a petty fight about it later.
“Yeah, good to see you, too, Cas,” Jody says, still talking in a dejected tone, grabbing mugs out of the cabinet. “You look good, you been working out? Of course you have, look at you. Yeah, I know, I look good, too. New haircut. Thanks.”
“Hello, Jody,” Cas greets, turning toward her but keeping his eyes on the baby cradled in his arms. She looks impossibly small in his hold. “Your hair looks very nice.”
“Well, thank you, Cas,” Jody says smugly. “Would you like some tea?”
“Are you offering us tea in our own house?” Dean asks.
“You told me to make myself at home.”
Cas moves Raven up to his shoulder, spreading his long, thin fingers over her back to keep her in place with just one hand. With his other hand, he pulls out a barstool at the island and takes a seat. His tank top gets stuck between his underbelly and his lap, and Dean watches, transfixed, as Cas demurely lifts his butt off the chair and flicks his free hand against his shirt to unstick it.
“Dean? You OK?” Jody asks, amused.
“Hmm?” Dean whips his head toward her. “Yeah, sorry.”
“You looked a little lost there for a second, buddy.”
“Oh, yeah,” Dean says. “I don’t know if you know this, but I’m very obsessed with Cas.”
Jody laughs. “It’s impossible to even make fun of you anymore. Like, if you’re going to be blissfully happy, at least act a little embarrassed about it.”
Dean walks over to Cas and puts his arm across his middle, presses his cheek firmly against the side of Cas’ chubby face and looks at Jody as he says, “No.”
“Jody, I would love a cup of tea,” Cas says, ignoring Dean. “Thank you.”
Raven fusses and nuzzles against Cas’ shoulder, so Dean reaches his arms out for her and says, “Too much muscle in your shoulder, she can’t get comfy.”
As Cas hands the baby over, he says, “Yes, because your bony body is so much better.”
“Do you guys even like each other?” Jody interrupts.
“No,” Dean and Cas answer in unison. They then look at each other and smile.
Cas asks Jody about the girls, which gets her on a long-winded rant, so Dean kisses Cas’ hair and heads out the back door with Raven. He walks across the porch and takes a seat on the porch swing and watches as Jack stands in front of a flower, says something to it, then moves onto the next flower and says something else.
“Are you talking to every flower, kid?” Dean calls.
Jack turns and tilts his head with a gentle smile. “I didn’t hear you come out here, Dean. Yes, I’m giving each of them longer lifespans.”
“Oh. Well, thanks.”
It’s mesmerizing, swinging back and forth and watching Jack tend to the flowers. Raven falls asleep quickly, tucked up facedown against Dean’s chest with her head turned to the side.
“See, I’m plenty easy enough to fall asleep on,” he mutters to her.
Jody comes outside a few minutes later, tea in hand. Dean scoots over so she has room to sit next to him on the swing. She doesn’t say anything, just takes a seat and drops her head to his shoulder.
“You know we can keep the kid longer if you need us to,” he says. “Cas has baby fever, so I’m sure he’d be thrilled.”
“Hm. I might,” Jody considers. “Alex is really attached to her though. I am, too, but. I don’t know. It’s different for me.”
“You never thought about having a baby again in your life, did you?”
“No.”
“Hmm.”
Cas walks out next and stops right outside the door, staring straight ahead at Jack. Cas has both his wrists bent against his hips, hands palm out, straight-back posture making his gut look more pronounced than it already is.
“Hey, Jody,” Dean starts, his eyes on Cas.
“Hmm?”
“Do you think Cas is different? I mean, different than how he was as an angel.”
Jody snorts. “Um. That Cas looks like he would eat angel Cas for breakfast.”
“No, I don’t mean—” Now Dean is laughing, too. “Obviously he looks different. I mean, like, the way he’s standing right now. Don’t you think it looks a little…you know…”
“Gay?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, yeah, but only slightly gayer than he used to act.”
Dean balks at that. “What? Really?”
“Honey, I knew Cas was gay the second time I met him. Sure, he’s definitely more comfortable and open and maybe a little more, uh, effeminate now, but he’s always been pretty clearly gay. No offense, you just weren’t paying attention.”
“Hm. Well, I’m paying attention now. Very close attention.” He surreptitiously licks his lips.
After a pause, Jody asks, “How did you live so many years of your life unaware of how horny you are for him?”
Dean puffs out a breath. “Shit, I don’t know. I honestly don’t know. Like, I have a sleeping baby on me right now—one of my favorite things in the world—and yet it’s taking all of my willpower to keep sitting here with you instead of going to put my stupid hands all over him.”
Cas turns toward them then, offering a close-mouthed smile and a delicate wave of his hand, totally oblivious. “Jack is talking to the flowers,” he says loudly.
“Yeah, I know,” Dean says back, less loudly so as not to wake the baby. “Powerful as God, and he’s here talking to our fucking plants.”
Cas furrows his brow. “What did I say about cursing?”
Dean rolls his eyes.
They all hang out outside until Raven wakes up and cries for food, so Dean takes her inside and paces around the kitchen while he gives her a bottle. Cas walks through on his way to the bathroom, and Dean stops him with a, “Hey. C’mere.”
“What?” Cas asks, smiling as he closes the distance between them.
Dean leans to the side, keeping the baby steady as he kisses Cas on the lips.
Cas shakes his head when they pull apart. “You have zero impulse control.”
“See Cas, touch Cas. That’s how my brain works.”
His smile widens. “You’re lucky I’m patient.”
Later, Dean is in charge of getting Raven down for the night, Jody is taking a nap upstairs, and Jack and Cas are out picking up takeout for dinner.
The four of them eat at the kitchen table, and Dean inhales his food quickly so he can relax and sling an arm over the back of Cas’ chair while everyone else finishes. He rubs and scratches at Cas’ back while they all talk, occasionally looking over to watch Cas eat. With how muscular he is, Cas would have to have a high-calorie diet even if he didn’t also just love food, but still he eats slowly and properly as he demolishes at least twice as much as everybody else.
Dean, itching to move and sick of being in the same spot for too long, eventually leans over and nips and kisses at Cas’ neck and face, forcing him to eat even slower. Every so often, Cas turns and pecks Dean on the lips in acknowledgment of his ministrations.
“Dean, you look smaller every time I come over here,” Jody says.
“No, optical illusion. It's 'cause Cas is getting bigger,” Dean responds. He pats a loving hand against Cas’ full belly. “He can’t help that he looks extremely cute like this.”
Mouth full of food, Cas turns his head and kisses Dean’s temple in thanks.
“No, I definitely think you’ve lost weight,” Jody continues.
“Yeah, I think you have,” Cas says. “Not that you weren’t skinny before, but you’ve lost weight since you stopped drinking.”
“Mm. Yeah, I guess.” Dean puts a hand on his own stomach, noting how flat it is. He ignores the heat rising to his cheeks at the basic knowledge that Cas notices things about him.
After dinner, Jack asks if they can watch a movie together in the living room, which they of course oblige. Dean can count on zero hands the amount of times he and Cas have told Jack “no” when he’s at their house.
Cas privately asks Jody if she wants a glass of wine, which she turns down. Dean sees the conversation take place as he’s turning the TV on due to his inability to take his eyes off Cas for even one minute.
Jack, god help him, picks some tragic foreign language film and sits cross-legged on the couch with Jody. Cas and Dean settle in sideways on the loveseat, Cas’ back up against the armrest and one leg hanging off the side so Dean can sit between his thighs and rest back against his chest. Dean rubs his fingertips against Cas’ knee and listens to him unwrap candy after candy, occasionally offering one to Dean.
After about 15 minutes, Dean turns his head and cocks an eyebrow at Cas.
Cas looks back at him, confused, as he puts another candy in his mouth. “What?” he whispers.
“You’ve had, like, 20 of those.”
Cas’ face changes into gay bitchiness as he unwraps another one. “Now who’s the nagging wife?”
“Can you two can it?” Jody asks at a regular volume. “I’m trying to hear what these sad French people are saying.”
Dean ignores her and whispers to Cas, “I don’t give a shit about you stuffing your face, babe, I just wish your hands were more Dean-focused.”
“Oh. Of course, Dean.” Cas tosses a wrapper aside and puts his arms around Dean’s torso, squeezing him firmly back against him.
“Mm, that’s better.” Dean snuggles down and bends his arm up to feel Cas’ bicep.
Jody shushes them again.
Cas presses a chocolatey kiss to the bolt of Dean’s jaw and moves one hand across his waist, teasing with the waistband of his jeans. Dean grabs his hand, stopping him.
“Not in front of the kid, dude,” Dean says through gritted teeth.
“I’m not doing anything,” Cas says innocently, his lips still on Dean’s skin.
Jack pauses the movie and looks over at them with a smile. In a sweet, polite tone, he asks, “I don’t mean to be rude, but can you guys please shut the fuck up?”
Cas nudges his head against Dean’s in fake annoyance. “What did I tell you? What did I fucking tell you, Dean?”
Dean can’t stop laughing. “Yes, Jack, we’ll shut the fuck up.”
With nobody to talk to and with Cas carding his perfect fingers through his hair, Dean falls asleep within 10 minutes. He half-wakes up a little while later and finds himself curled up on his side with his legs pulled up to his chest, using his big boyfriend as a bed, his big arms a blanket, big pecs a pillow. Cas’ chest vibrates beneath his ear as he whispers something to Jody, but Dean doesn’t hear it. He balls his hand into a fist and nuzzles his face against Cas’ shirt like a baby and falls back asleep.
When he wakes up again, it’s because Cas is trying to carefully lift him up and take him to bed. He wraps both arms around Cas’ neck and his legs around his waist and hangs on tight as Cas stands, only one of his muscular arms wrapped around Dean’s butt to hold him in place.
“Wow, he really has you whipped,” Jody whispers to Cas.
Cas responds completely seriously, “Why else would I exercise so much if not for this?”
“G’night, Jody,” Dean mutters against Cas’ neck.
“Night, little baby Dean.”
Dean smiles, his eyes still closed. “I like that.”
Jody sighs. “Seriously. Impossible to make fun of him.”
Cas starts walking toward their room as he says, “Dean is an all or nothing person. So many years with so much shame, now he has absolutely none.”
“Hmm. Yeah,” Jody replies. “Night, Cas.”
Dean is fully awake by the time Cas lays him gently down on the bed. He gets up immediately, changes into pajamas and goes to the master bath to brush his teeth. Cas joins him at the sink, wearing just boxer briefs and one of Dean’s shirts. It barely covers his belly button.
“You can’t possibly be comfortable in that,” Dean mumbles with a mouth full of foamy toothpaste. “I don’t get why you’re still wearing my shirts to bed. I told you, you stretch them out and then I can’t wear them.”
Cas spits his own toothpaste into the sink and looks up at Dean through the mirror as he wipes his mouth. “Until the sleeves cut off circulation in my arms, I will keep wearing your shirts to bed.”
Dean pulls at the hem of one of the sleeves, pointing out where Cas snipped it with scissors. “Cheater.”
Once they’re in bed, Dean presses up against Cas’ side, throws one leg over him, buries his face in the crook of his neck, squeezes his butt.
“Finally,” Dean says against his skin. “I’ve been dying to touch you all day.”
Cas smiles and wraps an arm around Dean’s back, shoving his hand down his pants to grab his ass. “Yes, and you showed remarkable restraint by not touching me at all today.”
“C’mon, you know what I mean.”
Cas hums, thinking. “You don’t like having your attention divided. If you can’t focus fully on me, it feels like you’re being deprived of something.”
“Yeah.” Dean rolls completely on top of Cas and kisses the pocket of fat under his chin. “Don’t let it go to your head, though. It’s not like I’m, like, completely obsessed with you or something crazy like that.”
Cas smiles into a kiss, putting his hand to the side of Dean’s face to pull him down to his lips. Dean groans in the back of his throat and rolls his hips.
“Do you want to have sex?” Cas asks between their mouths, like he almost always does, because he has a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about sex and is perfectly content with any amount of physical contact with Dean, no matter how little. So he leaves it up to Dean: a person who needs to touch Cas so badly all the time that he feels like he’ll die if he doesn’t.
“No, not with us on baby duty,” Dean says. “Let’s just make out until I fall asleep.”
“Mm, that’s exactly what I fell from grace for.”
Dean laughs and pinches his shoulder, kisses the corner of his mouth. “Hey, you knew me when you fell. You knew what you were getting yourself into.”
Cas’ face softens. He rubs the pad of his thumb slowly across Dean’s cheek. “I did. I was willing to give up everything without ever even knowing what your lips feel like against mine. So, excuse me for thinking every second with you now is just icing on the cake.”
Dean blinks. “You’re getting better at food metaphors now that you eat so much.”
Cas allows him to trivialize the moment. He just simply smiles up at him as he wipes a tear from Dean’s face.
So Dean closes his eyes and kisses him, slowly, until he falls asleep.
-----
Dean wakes up to the sound of Raven crying over the baby monitor. She only cried once during the night, when she shapeshifted into a fat pale baby with brown eyes and thin hair and needed a bottle and a change before going back to sleep. Now it’s morning, and Dean blinks awake to the sunlight streaming onto his face. He’s on his stomach, arms wrapped around a pillow under his head, his skin unreasonably warm.
He shifts and feels Cas’ heavy arm draped across his back, his chubby hip squished against his side. Dean shuffles and turns, picking Cas’ arm up and kissing his hand before setting it on the bed and standing up.
Cas is also facedown on the bed, but instead of getting up, he burrows deeper and mumbles sleepily, “Start the coffee, please.”
Dean pinches a sliver of his love handle and leans down to kiss his cheek. “I’ll bring you a cup. Go back to sleep, sweetheart.”
Cas snores softly in response.
It’s early. The house is dimly lit and quiet, and Dean takes his time changing and feeding Raven. When she’s done with her bottle, he puts her on his hip and carries her out to the back porch to listen to the birds. His phone rings.
“Yeah?” Dean answers.
“Hey,” Sam says. “So, uh.”
“Spit it out, Sam.”
“You know our new rule?”
“Not monsters until they act monstrous,” Dean says, his heart racing. “What happened?”
“Nothing too bad. It’s just that, uh, we think this pack of werewolves may have abandoned their, uh, young.”
“How old? How many?” Dean asks quickly.
“Twins. They’re small, Dean. Six months at most.”
Dean looks at Raven then at the garden in front of him. He thinks about Cas, about how wonderful of a father he is, about what he said yesterday. Then he says, “Well. Bring ‘em here if there’s no other option. We got the space.”

Exclusive Rights
My First Fanfiction Ever Hope you like it.
Genre: Omegaverse, A/B/O, BNHA, Alpha Bakugo X Omega Reader
Plot: Nesting Omega reader stealing Alpha Bakugo things getting caught in the process.
Slightly Suggestive, SFW,
Tumblr media
Of course this would happen to you. You would have a crush over an emotionally unavailable Alpha. And of course everything would line up around the time your inner Omega wants to obsessively nest. You were currently working for a hero agency suggest by a friend, which is where you met none other than Pro Hero Ground Zero. Otherwise known as Katsuki Bakugo. Your job consisted with secretarial work, your quirk allowed you hack into anything and everything. Which wasn't exactly field agent worthy, your quirk was mostly meant for computers but, every so often when you forgot your house keys you would just use your quirk to get you out of a bind. A desk job suited you just fine, you were simple and you liked it that way. But being around the dangerous alpha made you yearn for a little more than simple.
And just like magic he appeared. It was like the universe was mocking you and your one sided love. Of course your Omega was jumping with joy seeing her Alpha come into view. You had to concentrate very hard just to keep your scent from changing. Last thing you needed was making it painfully obvious that you liked the grumpy alpha. You gripped harder on the pen you were holding in your desk pinching your eyes closes, evening out your breathing to keep from being noticed.
Little did you know that this Alpha had already noticed your behavior change the moment he walked in. Bakugo noticed you the moment you started working in his agency. Your scent called to his alpha like a sweet siren. He convinced himself that he didn't have time for a love life. He was too focused on being number one hero, becoming stronger so he would never be on equal grounds with a certain green haired hero.
Still he couldn't help but, watch you. He watched you from afar seeing you get along with your coworkers, laughing and smiling. He couldn't help but, be a bit envious wanting to be the reason for your silver bell laugh or, your heart stopping smile. In the end he would just curse to himself and walk away before his alpha was further riled up. Still he couldn't stop the pleasurable hums that his inner alpha produced when he caught your scent in the air.
Meanwhile you were trying not to relish in the grumpy alpha's scent. Cinnamon and firewood was now your new favorite scent. How you wished you could roll in his scent wrapping it around you like a comforting blanket. Once he walked passed you with his best friend red riot in tow, you could finally let go of the pocket of air you've been holding allowing yourself to breath in the remnants of his presence. Even with his scent your Omega was still whining at you to obtain her alpha's things for the perfect nest. Of course you had a plan to do just that.
After work hours was over, you told your coworkers you were going to stay behind for some last minute paperwork that needed to be done. Of course your new omega and alpha friends wanted to stay behind with you so, you wouldn't be alone but, you insisted you were fine and that you would get home ok. Once you were sure everyone was out, your mission started.
You quickly headed for the field agents locker room, using your quirk to pop open the lock easily slipping in the room. Nervousness and, excitement overwhelmed you on how close you were to your goal. You stood in front of the locker you were eyeing with the name Ground Zero engraved on it. Instead of wasting time, you used your quirk again to open the locker. Opening your small bag on your hip you took small trinkets that you deemed wouldn't be noticed if it had gone missing. Taking a pen, one sock, and a small hand towel stuffing it quickly in your bag.
You glanced at his white shirt hanging in his locker that he used for his work outs. You stared at it, remembering your alpha's jaw dropping body filled it out, sweating from his works out and occasionally lifting the hem of his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face. You couldn't help yourself. You grabbed a hold on his shirt hugging it to your chest purring happily while rubbing your face in his scent.
That is until you heard footsteps nearby. Shit! Shit! Shit! Panic was spreading throughout your body. The footsteps were becoming very apparent that they were headed this way, without thinking you shoved yourself into Bakugo's locker closing the door. You waited trying to suppress the distressed chips that wanted to come out.
"Shut your fucking yapping! I am just grabbing my workout clothes to wash. You don’t need to wait for me"
You overheard a irradiated person yell out followed by click which, probably meant he was on a phone call. The footsteps came closer to your hiding place, your body went ridged when you were flooded with the scent of cinnamon and firewood. The door flung open meeting a very surprised wide eye Bakugo piercing your guilty looking ones. After a few seconds of staring you decided to say something.
"Umm...if i say this isn't what it looks like would you believe me?" You let out a nervous laugh.
It took Bakugo a second to answer you since he was too busy looking at you clutching his shirt to your chest. His inner alpha purred at the sight. He sniffed the air smelling some of his scent on you. He placed an arm out against the locker slowly leaning in with a smirk.
"No i don’t think i will. Y/N" His voice stated huskily
It didn't take an long to figure out you were stealing his stuff. Judging how you had his shirt pressed against your chest you were obviously nesting but, that wasn't the most important part. The fact that you taking HIS things with HIS scent made his alpha purr in happiness, he couldn't stop the grin from appearing on his face.
Meanwhile you were cursing the day you were born while, at the same time melting at the fact your name rolling off his tongue. You smiled up nervously at the looming alpha. Unknowingly clutching his shirt tighter to you which did not go unnoticed by Bakugo.
"Anyway i could persuade you into pretending this never happened and us both going our separate ways?"
"Not a chance" He quickly responded "But if you tell me why your in my locker with my things, i might be inclined to help you out."
The cockiness in his voice did not go unnoticed by you....Was he actually interested in you? You decided to test out that theory since you had nothing else to lose at this point. You let your scent of violets and berries fill the air around you. You placed a gentle hand on the alpha's chest, looking up at him with innocent eyes.
"I'm nesting" you stated with a sultry voice.
Bakugo raised an eyebrow to your sudden change in demeanor but, he would be damned if he said didn't like it. Your scent made his mouth water while, your voice made his body heat up with excitement. He couldn't deny his inner alpha anymore, your silent invitation was enough to break his convictions. Only a idiot would pass since a delectable feast in front of him and, he was no idiot. He placed his hand under your chin gently, making sure he had your full attention.
"You need MY help with that Omega?" He stated with his alpha seeping through.
You shivered in delight with just his touch. He was definitely interested in you, God you had it bad for him. Your Omega let out a small pleading whine, wanting nothing more than her alpha to touch you more. He was pumping out his scent making you feel like your in a drunken state.
"Yes please Alpha"
He gave a sharp toothy grin grabbing your wrist to drag you out of his locker, pulling you to his chest. You felt his chest purring against you.
"What do i get out of it, if i help you?" He asked while, wrapping his arms around your curvy figure. God you were the perfect fit in his arms.
"A date sound good?" You chirped up with your new found courage.
Bakugo chuckled rubbing his face against your scent gland breathing you in. He whispered in your ear lowly.
"I want exclusive rights of dating you" He said with such authority.
You pulled away enough to see his face letting a smile grace your face.
"Sounds like a deal to me"
That's it! Hope you like it. I’ll think about writing more One-Shots in the future.

Tumblr media
Last time, you told yourself it was the last time. 
The last time you let Baekhyun into your apartment at half past three in the morning, so out of your mind starving that you could hardly even see straight. The last time you let him take you, command your body like it was no longer your own.
You should have known you were lying to yourself. 
You [3:28am]: are you up?
Baek [3:29am]: yea, why?
You [3:31am]: can you come over? 
After your last message, you got no response. Perhaps, you thought, he’d fallen asleep or worse, had no interest in being your blood bag for the night. You would be disappointed, but you wouldn’t blame him. 
You rolled over in bed, flopping onto your stomach as you buried your face into your pillow. Maybe you could simply push through and wait until morning, when Kyungsoo would be awake and able to help you. 
After you turned a few months ago, totally unexpectedly, it had flipped your world upside down. Kyungsoo found you, shivering and delirious by a dumpster where your fun little one night stand had left you. 
Kyungsoo was human, but he was the type of person that people trusted and allowed into their worlds, no matter who they were. As one of the general surgeons of the local hospital, he’d gotten himself into a position of substantial power over both the humans and the vampires of your city. He never used it as a weapon—only as leverage to keep the humans safe.
When he found you, he’d wrapped you in his jacket and carried you to his apartment, but you didn’t remember anything until many days later. Kyungsoo nursed you to health, providing you with a vampire crash course to prepare you for the rest of your life. Of eternity. 
Then he’d introduced you to some of his friends at a party after you were more comfortable, although you had yet to feed on a living human. There was a whole community of humans that got off on it, that lived for the pain and pleasure of letting a vampire feed on them. 
It was at this party that you met Baekhyun. He had a mischievous glint in his eye when Kyungsoo told him your name and left the two of you alone in the dimly lit, smoky club basement. Something about that look in Baekhyun’s eyes told you he knew you’d be his by the end of the night. 
The feeling, the taste, the pure ecstasy of finally consuming fresh blood was unlike anything you’d ever experienced before, even when you were alive. Your senses were heightened as a vampire as it was, but as soon as his blood hit your tongue, it was like your world exploded into a million colors. 
But even though you’d been the monster drinking his blood, Baekhyun remained in control. He laid you out on his bed and pinned your wrists to the mattress with one hand, his other wrist pressed into your mouth as he forced you to feed. 
You whimpered and cried out when it was too much, when the overstimulation of his blood and the way he was rocking into you at a brutally rhythmic pace had you seeing stars. He never relented; only fucked you harder as you writhed under him. 
After that night, you never wanted anyone else. Baekhyun was the only man you wanted to feed from. With him, you didn’t feel like a monster. You didn’t feel like a thing, like a horror story to tell in the dark. 
He made you feel human again. 
Tonight, the thirst was too much to handle. It was clouding your mind and keeping you awake as you twisted and turned under the covers. You couldn’t tell if you were craving his blood or craving him, but you were too weak to care. 
You hated the thirst. It was like dehydration, tenfold. Your head hurt, your lips were dry no matter how many times you wet them, and all you could think about was warm blood sliding down your throat. It was maddening. 
The telltale sound of your apartment’s buzzer had you sitting up in bed, so quickly that it made your head spin, the noise signaling that you had a visitor down at the main entrance to your building. 
You scurried off the bed and hurried to the door, nearly running into it as you slid on the hardwood in your socks to let him in. You told yourself the eagerness to see him was only because you were thirsty, certainly nothing more.
As soon as you opened the door, you felt embarrassingly underdressed. 
Baekhyun had dyed his hair since you’d last seen him. It was now a silver blonde, perfectly messy and framing his stupidly beautiful features. He’d been out tonight, you realized. The glitter on his cheekbones gave it away. 
His hands were stuffed comfortably in the pockets of his leather jacket with a faded graphic tee underneath, and expertly tailored black jeans practically painted onto his lower half. 
You tugged the hem of your T-shirt down, even though he’d already had you in positions that you hadn’t even thought were physically possible—vampire or not. For some reason, you still felt bare in front of him in your pajama shorts and oversized tee.
“Hmm,” Baekhyun hummed as he stepped inside, letting the heavy door close behind him. He smelled like smoke and rum. “Look at you. Is someone thirsty?”
You blinked, grateful that you were incapable of blushing. As ravenous and desperate for blood as you were, the way he looked you up and down made you feel small and shy. 
“Can I?” you asked, reaching for his wrist, half tucked into the pocket of his jacket. 
“Uh-uh.” He stepped back just before your fingers brushed his skin. “You know that’s not how it works, baby. You still need to work for it.” 
If you wanted to, you could muster your strength and slam him into the door, dive for his neck and bleed him dry before he even realized what was happening. But you didn’t. You wanted this, you wanted to beg and plead until finally, he rewarded you. 
“Baekhyun,” you whispered, then dragged your tongue over the dry, cracking skin of your lips. “I’m so thirsty. I’ll do whatever you want.” 
He seemed pleased by this, judging by the way his lips turned into a familiar smirk. “I know you will. Come on, let’s go sit down.” 
You followed him to the living room obediently, watching as he made himself comfortable on the couch. He shrugged his jacket off, revealing the expanse of his forearms down to his wrists, covered in bite marks in various stages of healing. 
All from you. 
If he had chosen to get his fix somewhere else, you wouldn’t have any reason to be envious or hurt. But it filled you with a sense of pride that he didn’t, that you were the only one he allowed to taste him. 
You moved to sit next to him, but Baekhyun stopped you. He took your hand, leading you to stand in between his parted legs. 
“Knees.” 
It took one word for you to drop to the carpet, your bare knees pressing into the old scratchy shag rug you’d had for ages. He kept your fingers in his palm, rubbing his thumb idly over the back of your hand. 
“Good girl.” With his other hand, he tucked your hair behind your ear, his wrist brushing against your cheek so that you could hear the pulse beneath his skin. 
“Baek…” you began, turning slightly until your nose brushed his skin. “Just a taste. Please.”
Baekhyun lifted your chin with his finger and locked eyes with you. You filled with warmth already, just one look enough to send your mind racing with images of everything you wanted from him. His blood was further down the list than you would have thought.
“Just a taste,” he repeated. 
With that, he let go of your hand and turned slightly to reach into the pocket of his discarded jacket. When he pulled out the shiny folded metal, you gulped hungrily. 
The pocketknife brandished with a metallic click. 
It wasn’t uncommon for humans to carry weapons these days. After all, vampires weren’t the only monsters that roamed the streets after dusk, and not all vampires were quite as friendly with humans as you were. 
Your eyes followed Baekhyun’s nimble fingers as he brought the very end of his knife to his middle finger, twisting the point into his fingertip until a spot of blood appeared. 
It took every bit of self control that you possessed not to reach out in desperation for his hand and bring it to your mouth. But you knew better—you knew if you broke, Baekhyun would stand up and walk out the door like you were less than nothing to him. 
He watched you with interest as he held his finger just out of your reach, eyes dancing with that mischievous stare he had when he teased you. You would despise it if you didn’t know that eventually, he always caved. 
Finally, when your mouth had gone dry and you could feel the warm tingle that meant your fangs were about to protrude, Baekhyun brought his index and middle fingers to your mouth. 
He slipped them past the parched skin of your lips, your entire world blooming as soon as his middle finger touched the center of your tongue. You moaned, eyes falling shut. 
“Look how needy you are,” he remarked after a beat. His voice was strained, though, as if watching your display of bliss was causing him physical pain. 
He let you go for a while, maybe half a minute, before he was removing his fingers from your mouth. You couldn’t help but whine, resisting every urge not to grab at his wrist to keep him there. 
With the small amount of his blood you’d been able to milk from his finger, you already felt renewed. A surge of energy coursed through you like you’d just been injected with adrenaline. 
“What do you say?” Baekhyun asked with a cocked brow. 
You swallowed, licking any remnants of his blood from your lips. “Thank you.” 
Without a second thought, you reached for Baekhyun’s belt, fingers quickly undoing the metal buckle. Your ears picked up the quickening of his heartbeat from the moment you undid the button of his pants. 
It was no surprise that most vampire-human relationships, if not ending in death, ended in sex. Feeding, in your experience, was extremely sensual and instantly created feelings of arousal within both parties. It was almost better than sex, and when the two came together? It was euphoric. 
You were pleased to find him half-hard already by the time you got his zipper down, your hand wrapping around the length of him under the fabric of his briefs. Baekhyun inhaled sharply, holding his breath until you had pulled his cock from his underwear. 
Only a few seconds passed before you leaned forward, parting your lips to run your tongue along the underside of his member. Your eyes remained open, locked on Baekhyun’s face to gauge his reaction. 
He loved it, of course. 
With a groan, he tipped his head back, exposing his throat and sending a shockwave to your core. You wanted his throat, his neck, all of that fresh, warm blood pumping beneath his skin. But you wanted to taste it while he was inside of you. It would be worth the wait. 
Your eyes fell shut as you took his length into your mouth, deeper and deeper with each stroke until he hit the back of your throat. Unlike men you’d been with when you were human, Baekhyun made no effort to remain quiet. He was loud, and you loved it. 
If you had your way, all of your days would be filled with Baekhyun’s voice. His moans, his rough whispers in your ear, his laugh, his hums as he completed mundane tasks like wiping down the counters or tying his shoes. Deep down, you wanted it all.
“Good girl, that’s my girl,” he whispered, reaching forward to lace his fingers in your hair. He curled his hand into a tight fist, a deliciously sharp pain spreading across your scalp. 
You whimpered, lips wrapped tight and wet around him. He guided you back and forth for a while with his hand in your hair, muttering soft praises all the while. By the way his hips were twitching towards your face, you knew he was getting lost in the ministrations of your mouth. 
Baekhyun soon dropped his hand from your hair, signaling you to pull away, just in time for him to stand up and pull you to your feet. 
A squeak of surprise fell from your lips as he lifted you, hooking your legs around his waist in a simple, swift movement.
“Bed,” he said simply. 
Baekhyun carried you through your apartment as if it was his own, lips kissing and nipping at your neck as he dodged every obstacle between the two of you and the bedroom. He stopped once, in the hallway, to lean you into wall and roll his hips into your center. 
His name came out as a sigh. 
Then, finally, he dropped you onto the center of your bed. It was messy from your previous tossing around in the sheets from your thirst, but neither of you cared. Baekhyun reached for the comforter, knotted and piled together under your lower back, and easily tossed it off the bed to leave nothing but the sheets under you. 
He stood at the foot of the bed, chest heaving up and down, and ran his fingers through his hair. The look in his eyes had you squirming, ready for him to devour you in every way possible. 
“Are you still thirsty, baby?” 
Your heart clenched at the pet name, even though he always called you that, loving the way it sounded on his lips. You gulped, nodding as you batted your eyelashes. 
“Yes,” you admitted. 
“Take off your clothes,” he told you, hands reaching for his jeans, still unbuttoned, to push them down his legs. 
It took less than a second for you to obey, clutching the waistband of your shorts and shoving them off of you. You knew he liked when you kept your underwear on, just so he could use it to further torture you by keeping a layer between you. 
You slipped your thin T-shirt off, throwing it to the side and laying back into the mattress again. Baekhyun had removed his own shirt, leaving just his briefs from letting you see all of him. 
You could marvel at his body for hours—he was slender, but solid. He wasn’t much taller than you, but his shoulders were broad enough to make you feel protected in those rare moments when he held you in his arms. 
This time, though, you noticed something new. There was a handful of bruises and scratches marring his body, completely different from the puncture marks that your fangs left when you fed on him. Blinking, you furrowed your eyebrows, fingers reaching out. 
“What are-”
“No questions,” Baekhyun cut you off, reaching for your hands before they could reach their destination. His face softened, ever so slightly, when you quickly retreated, curling your hands up near your own chest. “We’re not here to talk, are we, baby?”
Just like that, he made you forget the suspicious marks on his chest, even one slash that looked particularly painful. Almost like he’d been cut by a knife.  
Watching the way he licked his lips as his eyes traveled down your body, slowly, so slowly, you were easily steered back to the task at hand. You dropped your hands to the sheets, digging your nails into the fabric as he overwhelmed each of your senses. 
Even from here, you could smell his blood. From here, you could hear the steady, strong beat of his heart, taste the alcohol and nicotine of his kiss. Your body was calling out to him and you weren’t sure how much longer you could deny what it needed. 
“Baekhyun,” you found yourself whining, hips squirming under his hungry gaze. 
His eyes snapped up to your face then, so much desire and pure lust in his stare that you felt a brand new surge of heat travel through your limbs. 
“Mm, first…” he pressed one knee down into the mattress, then the other, until he was hovering over you. “We have to see if you’re ready for me, don’t we?” 
Baekhyun led a painfully light touch down the middle of your chest with his index and middle fingers, between your bare breasts, and down the valley of your stomach at a pace that had you biting your tongue just to keep from begging him for the nth time. It would only further encourage him to play with you, of which you could only tolerate so much. 
You knew his moves by now, knew that he would trail those fingers down to your waist, over the elastic of your panties until he found the evidence of your arousal between your legs. You knew his moves, and he still had you whimpering the moment his fingers brushed your clit through your panties. 
Your toes curled into the sheets as you tried desperately not to show how crazy he was making you. He knew already, though, the moment he slid his fingers beneath the waistband of your panties and found wetness between your legs. 
“Oh,” Baekhyun said with a smirk, tongue running cheekily along his lower lip. “You’re dripping, Y/N. You’re this wet just from sucking me off?”
Again, you were grateful for your inability to blush. 
“Answer me,” he demanded suddenly, eyes turning dark just the way you liked them. 
“Yes!” you replied, hips canting up towards Baekhyun’s hand. “Yes, I’m this wet just from sucking you off.” 
Even after you closed your eyes, you were sure you could see the cocky smirk that was undoubtedly painted upon his lips. He lived for this, the feeling of absolutely owning you. You, an immortal, bloodthirsty, powerful woman despite how weak he made you. 
As his fingers delved lower, just until he could dip them into your entrance, you mewled and turned your cheek towards the pillow. “Please,” you breathed. 
Baekhyun’s lips brushed your neck. “Please, what?” 
“Want you… want-“ you sighed as his fingers pushed deeper, to his second knuckle. “Want you inside.”
You’d be lying if you said it didn’t surprise you when he finally gave in, but you couldn’t complain. Though he didn’t concede without a few deep pumps of his fingers, enough to have you gasping and close to ripping the sheets apart beneath you. 
Baekhyun slipped his fingers from you and stood from the bed, his hands pushing down his briefs without hesitation. He nodded at you once, motioning with his chin to the headboard behind you. 
“On your knees, and face the headboard.” 
Renewed with your need to feel Baekhyun inside of you, you easily flipped over onto all fours, that warm sensation in your gums warning you that your fangs would extend at any moment. You didn’t fight it, hoping that it wouldn’t be much longer until you would need them. 
“Fuck,” Baekhyun exhaled, just before you felt the bed shift with his weight as he moved behind you. “You’re beautiful, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love seeing you like this.” 
You’re beautiful. 
The words echoed in your mind, though you knew they probably shouldn’t. He rarely complimented you so boldly, especially before he was inside of you, overwhelmed with pleasure and pain. Curling your hands into fists, you shoved your feelings down because you needed to. A survival instinct, really. 
Because if you fell for him, if you opened your heart, the odds were against you. You weren’t sure why he chose you, why you were the only one he allowed to feed from him, but you couldn’t let yourself see it as any more than a mutual transaction of pleasure.
Baekhyun snapped you out of your thoughts easily the moment he pressed up against you from behind, his hands molding down your sides until he could place them upon your hips. 
You hung your head between your shoulders, reaching your hands out to grip the wooden slats of your headboard. The anticipation was always the best, and worst, part of this. 
It almost scared you how well Baekhyun knew your body. He knew when he trailed his fingertips down between your shoulder blades that you’d shiver and bite your lip, using every ounce of willpower that you possessed not to beg him. Even though you were pretty sure that’s what he wanted. 
He knew when he leaned forward and kissed your shoulder, that you’d ultimately lose the battle with yourself and your dignity. You were hot, sweaty, and desperate. Desperate enough to give in and sob his name, squeezing your headboard so hard that you felt the wood splinter beneath your hands. 
Without another word, his lips still pressed to your skin, you finally felt the tip of his cock tease your entrance. You held your breath, hoping beyond hope that he wouldn’t drag it out any longer. 
Your wish was granted as he filled you in one long stroke, both of you releasing satisfied moans at the sensation. This... this was bliss. 
“How are you-” Baekhyun ground out through his teeth and squeezed your hips hard enough you’d probably bruise, if you could, “-always this tight? God.” 
His lips trailed across from one shoulder blade to the other, giving your body a moment to adjust to the girth of him, before he began to move. Just like every other time, he pulled sighs and moans from you that only his ears had ever had the privilege of hearing. 
“Oh, my god,” you breathed, your walls clenching around him each time he filled you, his pace making your head spin. 
“How’s it feel, baby?” Baekhyun asked, voice low next to your ear. 
It took a few more thrusts for you to be able to catch your breath to answer him, your head spinning from the way he was fucking you. It didn’t matter how many times you had him, he always made you like this. Crazy, hungry, and weak. 
“Good, so… so good.” 
“That’s right,” Baekhyun answered, one hand drifting from your hip down between your legs to find your clit. “You’re taking me so well. Think you might get to feed a little earlier than normal tonight, baby.” 
You clenched around him once more at his words. Recently, Baekhyun had started making you wait longer and longer to taste him. The last time, you’d been teetering right on the edge of your second orgasm when he finally bared his neck to you.
It wasn’t the worst thing in the world--no, that moment when his blood hit your tongue had sent you towards the most electric, trembling climax you’d ever had. But you had to admit your mouth was watering already at the thought of sinking your teeth into his skin sooner rather than later. 
“Please,” you begged, pushing your ass back towards him. “Please, Baekhyun.”
Baekhyun rolled his fingers around your clit in circular motions, grunting as he thrusted hard, jolting you forward. You gasped and moaned, throwing your head back in ecstasy. 
“You want that, huh? You want me to fuck you while you drink from me?” He matched each stroke of his cock inside of you with the pace of his fingers, drawing tight circles between your legs. 
“Yes,” you answered, voice cracking. You didn’t just want it, you needed it. Your fangs were showing now, and you weren’t even sure at what point they’d finally protruded from your gums, a biological response to the thought that you would be needing them soon. 
Your world spun, briefly, as Baekhyun grabbed your hips and flipped you from your knees onto your back. It was quick, a move he’d pulled on you so many times you barely even noticed until he was pushing back inside of you. 
“Oh, look at you,” he said from above you. 
Now that you could see him, you could appreciate his rosy cheeks, the way his hair stuck to his temples, and the subtle way his shoulder muscles contracted each time he moved inside you. Holding himself up with one arm, he trailed his free hand down the side of your face and brushed his thumb over your lip. 
“You’re ready to feed, aren’t you, baby? So fucking needy. You think you deserve it?” The pad of his thumb slipped inside of your mouth, daring to trace over the shape of one of your fangs. 
All you could do was nod, the ability to actually speak coherent words completely lost on you at the moment. 
You waited, as patiently as you could while he was driving you insane, for Baekhyun to make the first move. You never reached for his arm first, never lunged for his neck or his shoulder, simply because you wanted him to have that control. 
Baekhyun leaned down, his lips trailing kisses from your chin up to your jaw, until he nipped at your earlobe. “Go ahead, pretty. Take what you want.” 
The next time he filled you completely with his cock, you finally sunk your teeth into Baekhyun’s neck, that same spot that you had claimed as your own already. You whimpered as his blood filled your mouth, sliding down your throat. 
You reveled in the way he tasted and the sinful way he inhaled sharply at the initial bite before he let out a long, blissful moan. Your body was on fire now, so consumed in Baekhyun and the way he felt buried this deep inside of your heat. It was like you were invincible. 
Wrapping your legs around his waist, you pulled him into you easily. It was different when you fed from him like this. You had to be careful, control yourself so that you didn’t hurt him too badly, but it tasted so damn good. 
Before you could get carried away, you forced yourself to pull back, licking any remnants of his blood from your lips. Even though you were no longer feeding, you felt the effects of his blood rushing through your body already. 
It was electric and overwhelming in the best possible way, heightened even more so by the way Baekhyun fit inside of you and stretched you so perfectly. The entire room had brightened around you as if somebody had switched on a light. 
When you were finally able to focus on the man above you, you were pleased to find that he looked just as fucked out as you felt. His arms shook, for a moment, maybe from the quick loss of blood or just the sheer pleasure of it all.
Taken by a moment of bravery, you used your legs hooked around his hips to roll your bodies over so that you could settle on top of him and let him rest for a moment. His wound would heal quickly—something to do with the healing properties of your saliva, according to Kyungsoo—but you knew he’d need a beat to regain his strength. 
The moment he filled you completely, you took in a shuddering breath and planted your hands on his chest. Baekhyun stared up at you, eyes filled with awe, lips parted as if he wanted to say something but just couldn’t find the words. 
“Wanna ride you,” you whispered, licking your lips once again. “I want to make you - make you feel good,” you admitted. 
Baekhyun’s hands found your thighs, pale and smooth, and dug his fingertips into your skin. Slowly, those fingertips trailed up to your hips to pull you closer, forcing you into a rocking motion atop of him. 
“Go on, then,” he breathed. “Make me feel good.” 
It occurred to you then that you’d been in this position with him only once before, and it only lasted a couple of minutes before he flipped you onto your back and took over control. This time, though, you wanted to take it until the end. You wanted him to see just a shred of the power you could have over him. 
Maybe you didn’t realize it until now, but you knew Baekhyun’s body just as well as he knew yours. 
You knew when you rolled your hips just right, he’d groan and his eyes would flutter closed as he fought not to thrust himself further inside of you. You knew his hands would start to roam, squeezing and groping at the smooth flesh of your hips and stomach. 
Not until Baekhyun had you learned to appreciate a man’s hands on you without feeling self conscious or try to cover up. Maybe because Baekhyun owed you nothing, there was no reason for him to lie to you or tell you what you wanted to hear. With his hands and his lips, he painted his honest truth on your body without saying a word. 
You started to lose yourself more and more with each roll, each circular grind of your hips on top of him, letting your needy moans fill the room along with his.
“Just like that,” Baekhyun praised, both hands holding firmly onto your waist. “Tell me, who makes you feel this good?”
You pressed your hands more firmly into his stomach and opened your eyes, only a little surprised to find him staring up at you again as if he was trying to drink in every inch of your body. 
Just when you were about to answer, Baekhyun bucked his hips up, pushing himself deeper inside of you—deep enough to make you shiver and lose any and all words that could have gone through your mind. 
“I-” you started, fighting the urge to close your eyes. With the way he was looking at you, you knew that Baekhyun wanted your eyes on him. “Y-you,” you could only whisper. 
“I said,” he said, through his teeth, surprising you as he sat up underneath of you so that your chests were flush together. “Who makes you feel like this?” 
“You, you, you,” you cried, feeling the familiar heat building in your belly and spreading down towards your thighs. “Baekhyun, oh, fuck…” 
“Mmm,” Baekhyun hummed, pleased, pulling you even closer to him. “Such a good girl. You know exactly who you belong to, don’t you? No one else can ever have you like this.” 
Even as far gone as you were, something about his words made you shiver, mind racing with all the ways he could mean those words. You’d accepted that you wanted more from him, more than a late night fuck and feed, but what if he felt the same way?
“No one.” 
Baekhyun pressed the words onto your lips. You clawed at his shoulders, not caring if you marked him, if you left scratches to match the mysterious half-healed slashes across his torso. You wanted him to belong to you, too, if only in one way. 
The kiss sent you closer to your high as your thoughts got the best of you, imagining what your life might be like if you could belong to each other. 
Maybe you could wake up next to him someday, help him with breakfast by frying the bacon while he mixed pancake batter. Or you could fall asleep curled up into his side, hand pressed to his chest, counting his heartbeats. 
“Close,” you whispered. “I’m so close.” 
“Me too, baby. Me too.” Baekyun pulled back first from the kiss, one hand in your hair and the other helping you keep your pace, gripped possessively around your hip.
When you finally tumbled over the edge, you could only speak incoherent mumbles and whispers of pleasure into the crook of his neck as your body bowed forward into him. 
Fireworks exploded behind your vision with your climax, a feeling you should have been used to by now, but you still found yourself practically blacking out every time. It was stronger, more powerful since you became a vampire. Like every cell of your body was exploding and putting itself back together again. 
“I got you, pretty, I’m here,” you heard Baekhyun whisper as he thrust into you from below, fucking you through the intense waves of your orgasm. 
The feeling returned to your fingertips what felt like an hour later, even though it was probably only a minute or two, and you found yourself able to open your eyes. You blinked a few times to let your eyes refocus, taking in the sight of Baekhyun so close to you, so close to his peak. 
“Baekhyun, I can’t-” you gasped, willing your trembling thighs to move so you could resume your movements on top of him. It was no use—you just didn’t have the strength. 
Baekhyun moved quickly, easily flipping your positions so that he was above you once more. He remained on his knees, grabbing one of your pillows to shove under your lower back. From this angle, he could wrap your legs around his waist and grind into you at the perfect angle. 
“Oh, fuck,” you moaned, hands scrambling to clutch the sheets underneath of you. All you could do was watch him, devour him with your eyes the same way you had devoured him with your mouth. 
From the moment you met him, you’d thought he was beautiful. It always struck you as unfair that he appeared to be without flaws, as if you had dreamed him up. He just simply couldn’t be real. And if he was real, it was a miracle he wanted anything to do with you. 
“You’re so fucking tight,” Baekhyun said through gritted teeth. He was losing control, moving closer and closer to the edge with each deep thrust.
Your fingers squeezed and tugged at the sheets beneath your hands, the only thing you had the physical strength left to do. “Please,” you whined. “I wanna feel you come inside me.”
It didn’t take much longer, only a few more perfect rolls of his hips before he came with a loud, shuddering groan. You felt him spill inside of you, liquid heat that felt like it was never ending. This was your favorite part. It was the closest you could ever feel to him, surrounded in every way. 
Once he had come down, Baekhyun fell forward on top of you, catching himself on his forearms. He breathed deep and heavy, face buried between your neck and your shoulder. You found yourself stroking his back, tracing words into his skin that you couldn’t say out loud. 
When he finally rolled off of you, he didn’t go far, just flopped onto his side next to you. Your breath caught in your throat when he pulled you closer, one arm around your back and the other grazing your shoulder. 
Outside the window, you heard the morning birds begin their chirping. It was easier to focus on their melody than just how close Baekhyun was. Close enough to hear his pulse, quick and strong. 
“You okay?” he asked, nose nudging your jaw. “You get enough?” 
You swallowed, suddenly remembering the whole reason Baekhyun had come over in the first place. Because you both had an itch that needed to be scratched—nothing more. 
“Yeah,” you replied weakly. “I got enough.” 
But he didn’t move, just let his lips rest softly against your neck. It had never been like this before. Soft, quiet, sweet. 
“Why do you only let me feed from you?” you found yourself asking, hand on his chest gently pushing him back. “Why me?” 
Baekhyun’s eyebrows pushed together in confusion. “What do you mean?” 
“I mean,” you sighed, sitting up and pushing your hair out of your face. “All your feeding marks are from me. I’m the only one, right?” 
Leaning up onto his elbows, Baekhyun could only shrug as if you’d asked him if he liked sugar in his coffee. “Yeah.” 
“Why?” 
“Because I like you,” Baekhyun offered. As if it was the most obvious answer in the world.
You blinked. Had you heard him wrong? Did he mean it… like that? 
“You like me,” you repeated. 
Baekhyun had the nerve to laugh, just a light, airy chuckle. “That’s what I said. Why am I the only one you feed from?” 
Gulping, you tore your eyes away from him and shook your head. You wanted to deny it—but you both knew it was true. You’d never told him as much, but you wouldn’t be so desperate for him if you could easily get it somewhere else. Correction: you could have, you just didn’t want to.
“Because I like you.” 
When you looked back at Baekhyun, he was grinning, the light catching on the glitter still smeared across his cheeks. He pushed himself to sit up, reaching for your hands. He tugged you closer to him. 
“Yeah? You sure you don’t just like my delicious, mouthwatering blood?” 
You scoffed and shook your head, feeling a smile tug at your lips. “It’s not that delicious.” 
Baekhyun laughed again, and this time you had to join him. It felt like it was too good to be true, him wanting you the way you wanted him. You wanted to pinch yourself, just to make sure you hadn’t blacked out and imagined this whole conversation. 
“Since that’s settled,” Baekhyun said, fingers grazing up your arm, your throat, until he was lifting your chin. You saw his affection for you in his eyes, so obvious it made you wonder if you’d been missing it all along. 
When his lips touched yours, it was a kiss unlike any other you’d shared with him before. Deep and slow, like you had all the time in the world. You sighed into his mouth, letting his lips quiet every worry you had racing through your brain. 
“Stay the night,” you said softly once you parted from him. 
Baekhyun smirked, pressing his forehead into yours. “It’s already morning.” 
You glanced at the window, noting the soft glow of the sunrise behind your curtains. “Oh. Never-”
“I’m kidding,” he cut you off, stroking his fingertips across your cheek. “Only if you promise to cook breakfast for me when we wake up. You do eat, right?”
“Yes,” you said with a laugh. “I eat. I don’t need to, but I love food too much not to.” 
“That’s my girl,” he replied in a low tone, giving you goosebumps. 
In order to keep yourself from jumping his bones, you pulled from him and climbed off the bed, searching for the comforter Baekhyun had thrown off the mattress when you’d first laid down. Once you found it, you settled on top of the sheets with him, pulling the blanket over top of your bodies. 
Your memories from before you turned were a blur. Some things you could remember, but it was like they’d happened to somebody else. You knew you’d had a series of unsatisfying one night stands, a couple of boyfriends, and a handful of crushes. You remembered the face of the man who turned you, but not his name or how it happened. A blessing, Kyungsoo told you. 
And although you couldn’t remember the faces of any of your past lovers, you knew without a doubt in your mind that you would never forget Baekhyun. 
You realized as he brought you into his arms that he didn’t just make you feel human, he made you feel like the girl you’d been before.

Peter was sprawled out on his shared king size bed. Hand on dick teasing himself he moaned in frustration. In need, in want. He wanted more than what his hand could provide. The tv was on, it was playing sex videos from Porn Hub. Peter had F.R.I.D.A.Y. turn it all the way up so it would feel as though he was there in the room with the actors. He had his eyes shut as he imagined the actor dom speaking to him. 
He was holding a vibrator that he was using to tease himself. The toy vibrated his inside sending small shocks through his body, he continued to push it in and out of himself. 
But between the porn star moans and the slick hand rubbing against his dick it didn’t make him feel what he wanted.
He was horny with no helpful outlet. The dom in the video wasn't doing "it" enough for him. No raspy deep voice ringing in his ears telling him what he could and couldn't do. No structure, no guidelines, no rules, expectations or consequences.... No fun. None of it was real or had his heart racing.
“Sir, Mr. Stark has arrived,” the computer generated voice of F.R.I.D.A.Y. came through. Peter could hardly hear her over the loud moans coming from the tv. A few seconds passed before it registered to Peter what she said to him. ‘Mr. Stark was back!’ Peter jumped up immediately from the news. 
“Oh fuck!” He exclaimed as he scrambled off the bed to find his discarded underpants that were thrown off along with his other clothes 20 minutes prior. 
“F.R.I.D.A.Y turn off the tv,” Peter commanded as he pulled up the stretchy material to cover up his genitals. The room was suddenly quiet as he threw on the remainder of his clothing. Quickly he kicked the vibrator under the bed and rubbed his oily well lubed hands onto the bed sheets just as the door was opening.
“Hey babe,” he was greeted by Tony who wore a black suit with his tie already loose and ready to be pulled off.
“Hey!” Peter greeted back already back in bed under the sheets.
Tony looked around, a bit skeptical about what his boyfriend was doing. The room was quiet, his boyfriend was fully clothed in the room, the lights were slightly dim, and Peter’s hair was sticking up in odd places and visibly damp from where Tony’s stood.
“What were you doing?” Tony asked a small smile threatening to appear on his face. 
“Me? Oh I was,” Peter paused, his brain not coming up with anything on the fly. His eyes darted over to the tv. “I was watching tv.” 
“Tv?” Tony questioned gesturing to the off screen. “The tv that’s currently turned off?”
“Yep. Just boring old tv. I was done watching it,” Peter spoke. He made sure to keep his voice leveled. Well not too leveled or Tony would totally know something was up. He watched as Tony went to the closet and stripped himself of his clothing. 
“Maybe we can watch something together?” Tony calls over his shoulder. Peter was half way listening. He couldn’t take his eyes off of Tony's muscular back. And watching as the sun kissed skin managed to hug tightly against Tony’s muscular back making Peter wish he could run his tongue against-
“Are you listening?”
“Huh?” Peter blinked back into reality. Tony was now closer to the bed, having changed into pajama pants and a black tee. 
“I said, maybe we can watch together.”
Peters eyes went wide. “Um no, we can do anything else!”
This caused Tony to lift an eyebrow.
“What's wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m just excited to see you.”
“Friday turn on the tv.”
The tv turned on and the adult film that Peter was watching a view minutes ago flickered onto the tv. The sound was still raging loud and the moan from the male bounced around the room. Tony grabbed the remote and turned it down. 
“Never heard of this show, what's it called?” Tony asked as he sat the remote back down on the nightstand. “Is it ‘Lying Little Boys’?” His voice dropped a bit, real deep that it sent an electrical jolt down Peter’s spine and straight to his dick. Which by the way had gone flaccid but now twitching to be touched.
“I honestly just watch for the plot. You know the shitty acting and stuff like that. The porn was just an, uh, a second thought. Ya know?” Peter went on a little rant not paying much attention to Tony anymore but more to his own words. Tony nodded his head as if he was listening to Peter, but he wasn’t. Instead Tony was looking for evidence for what Peter was actually doing.
He pulled back the sheets that were strategically bunched up near Peter's waist. Underneath was Peter in tight black jeans, which was weird since Peter was supposedly “watching tv” and he’d feel uncomfortable laying in bed in jeans. 
Also not to mention the lube in between Peters legs. 
“Hm?” Tony tutted, waving the lube in front of Peters face. “Just for plot you say?” 
Peter’s face began to heat up from sudden embarrassment as he became very still. 
“No response little one?”
“Well uh,” Peter started unsure what to say. His words were gone and even if they were able to spill from his mouth he’d stutter out some pathetic explanation as to why there so happened to be sexual pleasure lube in bed with him.
“Play room, stripped except  for your underwear, and kneeling,” is all Tony said before Peter rolled himself out of bed and out the room.
...
Peter rushed up the steps of Mr. Stark's place at a fast walking pace. He hurried to the play room that Mr. Stark had instructed him to go just a few moments ago. He kinda fucked up. Well no, he's totally fucked up. He pulled on the hem of his shirt and quickly tugged it over his head and off of his body, leaving him cold, a shiver going down his spine. He kicked off his shoes and peeled his tight black jeans off of his body. He stood in the center of the room in his socks and underwear. Mr. Stark did say to strip. But Mr. Stark usually wants him completely nude, what's different now? He did lie straight to the others face, maybe that's what changed? Wait but if he isn't completely nude does this mean that this would be strictly punishment? Peter didn't want strictly punishment he also wanted fun.
Peter rubbed his fingers through his hair in deep thought. He was slightly panicking and he really needed to breathe. Just breathe.
He took a breath in and shook his arms out to try to calm down. 
A quick look to the door and Peter slipped out of his socks before folding them neatly in a pile and kneeling in the middle of the room.
He didn’t hear the door open but he did hear the soft click of it shutting behind Tony. Peter strained to try to hear where Mr. Stark would walk. Would it be to him or maybe to one of the many toys located around the room. 
“Stand up,” Tony said as he held wrist cuffs in his hands. As he strapped them on to Peter he talked. “You and I both know you’re not supposed to be touching what’s not yours without permission right?”
“Yes.”
“Yes?”
“Yes sir,” Peter fixed himself. Tony hummed as he brought Peter over to the huge black X that was over by the wall. It was mantled to the garnet red wall, leaving Peter no space to run away once his wrists were connected to the top of the X. He parted his legs to be shoulder length apart as he has done so many times before. 
He felt Mr. Stark get close to him. Really close. His chest pressed firmly against Peters back, his mouth only inches away from Peters ear. It made his body cave, he wanted more, and during this whole interaction his hornyness never left him. 
“Traffic light,” Tony asked him softly into his ear. His breath sending shivers through Peter and all he wanted to do was reach out and touch his lover, his master. 
“Green,” Peter replied. 
And suddenly the warmth of Tony's body was gone. Way too quick for Peter's liking. 
The first lash was never hard, Tony always made sure that the first was a warning. It landed right across his perfect little bubble butt. Peter let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. A quick gasp as the next his his lower back with more sting to it. 
A constant flow in between the center of his shoulder blades. A criss cross type of pattern until a small squeak exited the boy's mouth that he was trying so hard to keep in. This went on for what seemed like forever. Each strike sent Peter deeper and deeper into submission as the pain started to increase. He was so lost in a haze that it took Peter a few seconds to realize that Mr. Stark had stopped. 
He looked upon the nice rosey red skin, running his hand down feeling the heat radiate off of well beaten skin. 
“Light?” Tony asked Peter and in response got green. 
“Now,” Tony started as he wrapped his arm around Peter's waist to reach his dick, he felt that the member was still half hard. “Let’s get you down and start on some real fun.”
...
“Did you have fun earlier,” Tony asked Peter as they now stood in the middle of the room. He pushed back a few strays of hair that was covering Peters face.
The shorter boy nodded his head in response.
“Verbal answers are the best answers,” Tony sang a little, rubbing his thumb over Peters lips. “Did you have fun earlier before I came in?”
“Yes I did.”
“Good.”
The fingers pressed firmly against Peters mouth And in a matter of seconds slipped right in. Peter loved objects in his mouth and sucking on fingers as well as other things brought him joy. 
“Mmm, you seem hungry would you like to suck on something more than my fingers?” Tony asked. 
“Oh please sir,” he mumbled out through the fingers.
Tony chuckles, “alright go ahead.”
He sank to the floor, the fingers out of his mouth now and in any other situation they would be missed but Peter already had his mouth set on something bigger. Something better. 
His fingers touching softly upon the dark plaid pajamas pants that Tony wore. He tugged it down as well as Tony’s boxers to reveal Tony’s semi hard member. 
He wrapped his fingers around it giving it a good few pumps before shoving it into his mouth.
Dick in mouth Peter hummed as he felt Tony’s hands comb his hair. Soft touches at first until Peter tried to pull back. 
“Have I told you that you have an amazing mouth?” Tony comments as his grip became tighter in Peters hair. It was like a handle that he used to forcefully fuck into Peters mouth. 
Peter allowed his mouth to go slack, the member going farther in. And if Peter didn’t think about it, he was able to not gag as the dick hits the back of his throat. 
But soon he needed to breathe, having not yet mastered how to breathe and suck dick at the same time. 
The wet sounds of the dick sloshing around in Peters mouth adding to the slight gagging that happened randomly turned Peter on so much. The taste of salty slime faintly on his tongue. The rough thrust from Mr. Stark. The grunts that fell from Mr. Stark as well as the almost unbearable pain of having his hair pulled. Oh yes, Peter loved all of it. 
And then it was gone.
Mr. Stark stepped back. Looking down at Peter who took this moment to catch his breath. Tony noticed a few stray tears coming from Peters eyes but he didn’t miss the smile that was also plastered upon his cute pink lips. 
“I wanna fuck you” Tony says quickly and disheveled. This caught Peters attention. To be fucked my Mr. Stark today?! But he touched himself without permission? This wasn’t adding up in his head but Mr. Stark was already walking to a drawer to get a condom and lube, and he himself was already getting on his feet to lean over the table he was instructed to go. 
He waited for a bit, quite impatiently. He was horny. Even though his dick didn’t truly show it, Peter could feel it. He needed release. And as he waited impatiently he became to rub himself against the wood he was bent over. It didn’t do much, hardly no where close to anything Peter wanted but that didn’t stop him from rubbing. Not to mention the small amount of cloth that surrounded his dick took away most of the friction he wanted. 
Sharp pain to the middle of his right ass cheek sent Peter to the tip of his toes. 
“Do you need another lesson in not touching what's not yours?” Tony's voice came from behind him. Peter wouldn’t have been able to see him even if Tony’s hand wasn't around the back of his neck stopping him from standing up straight. 
“Ah! No sir! I’m sorry sir.”
Tony aimed for the other cheek and enjoyed the small bounce of Peters ass from the sudden impact. “That’s twice you’ve done this.”
“I’m sorry sir,” Peter repeated while he pushed his ass in the air and gave it a little wiggle. 
“Oh I don’t believe you are. But that’s ok, we’ll fix that.”
A small sound of disappointment was heard from Peter and all Tony could picture is his baby’s face scrunched up in a small pleading pout. He pulled Peter up and placed a kiss on his cheek.
“Stop being whiny,” he says as he kisses him again.
“Mm, yes sir.” 
After laying Peter back down Tony opened up the lube he had brought over. Pouring some onto his fingers and Peters crack, he began to push in two fingers. 
It was fairly easy for Tony to finger the other. Way too easy.
Fingers still in ass Tony grabbed Peters hair and tugged forcing a whine through Peters lips. 
“Something you wanna say boy?”
Peter gnawed softly upon his bottom lip. “No sir not really.”
In quick movements Peter was suddenly on his back looking up at Mr. Stark and the ceiling.
A smack landed upon Peters cheek. And he almost reached up to touch his face. But he caught himself.
He focused his eyes back onto Tony who was looking at him expectantly.
“That’s number three. Would you like to try again?”
Peter nodded his head unsure if he should talk. It’s been a while since he’s gotten to strike three. 
“Tell me.”
“I kicked the toy under the bed before you walked in.”
“Thank you for telling me. Are you well stretched?”
“Yes sir.”
Tony exited Peter's view. The sounds of metal dangling, best described to be chains, reached Peters ears before Tony came back into view. 
"I'm going to restrain your hands so you don't continue to touch yourself," Mr. Stark explained as he began to bring Peter’s arms together and above his head. He connected the chains to the cuffs that Peter still wore and then to an undisclosed area that Peter wasn't quite sure on. 
Once done, Tony returned to his previous position at the end of the table. He grabbed Peters hips and pulled him until his ass was on the edge.
Lining himself up he pushed himself into Peters ass. Pushing in slowly for caution just in case Peter wasn’t as stretched as Peter said he was. 
“Mmm,” he moaned once he entered completely. "I’m going to enjoy this," he smiles, making eye contact with Peter.
His thrusts began to go faster, both enjoying the friction. 
Reaching down Tony started to rub Peters dick. 
Other than his shouts of pure bliss he watches as Peter begins to twitch beneath Tony’s touch. 
But soon in the middle of his own blist Tony started to notice that Peter was also close to orgasming so he removed his hand and forced more on his humping. 
The room was filled with yes’s and fuck’s as Tony soon reached his climaxed. 
Tony pulls out, catching his breath. He looked at Peter who had the most wanting look in his eyes. Tony pulled off the condom and discarded it in the trash can across the room. 
He came back and looked down at Peter before bringing his hand down Peters stomach. 
“Do you want attention now?” Tony asks.
“Yes, please yes.”
That’s all Tony needed to hear.
His hand on Peters dick jacking him up and down. The sweetest moans escaping Peter's mouth. 
He loved doing this. Knowing that he was the one giving Peters the pleasure that Peter wanted. He just needed to remind Peter of their dynamic. 
Peters toes began to curl meaning he was getting close to his orgasm.
And then Tony stopped. He pulled back his hands and momentarily discontinued all physical contact with Peter.
“No, no,” Peter begs. The words falling from his lips without him even thinking. 
“Huh? What was that?” Tony asks, lifting an eyebrow. He walked around the table until he was by Peters head, looking down and over him. They looked at each other. Well Tony looked at Peter, and Peter squeezed his eyes shut as he pulled on the bondage that kept his hands away from touching himself. 
“S- sir,” Peter begs.
“Yes Peter?”
“Please.” 
“Please? Are you asking me to continue?” Tony asks. “But I thought I was ‘sir’? Am I not?”
Peter frantically nods his head.
“Please sir, yes sir. It’s up to you.”
He ran his hand over Peters nipples, twisting them a little to force a few grunts and pitiful whines from the other. A smile forming on Tony's face.
“Will you tell me if you are close to orgasm?” Tony asks.
“Yes, sir.”
“Good, that was one.”
Tony reached for the lube while he walked back to the other end of the table, Peter watching his every move. He poured a bit more onto his hand and then firmly grabbed Peters dick again. 
“Mmm fuck,” Peter mumbles out. 
He moved his hips up toward Tonys hand basically fucking it. He squeezed his eyes shut as his body tenses. All he wanted was to get off. 
“Sir, i'm close, can I please come?”
“No.”
A word that Peter most definitely did not like one bit. And he felt Tony's hand disappear from around his dick.
“Nooo,” he whines knowing full well he wasn't going to win this interaction. If Tony said no then Tony said no. That's how it works. 
“Please?” he begs again softly. 
Tony leaned down and casually kissed Peter's stomach. “No.”
A whine escaped his mouth and he once again tugs on his restraints. 
A small chuckle escaped Tony's mouth as he watched the other tug on the strains in a totterly like tantrum. Soon enough Peter settled down and looked at Tony with the world's biggest brown eyes. Full of lust and want and willing to do anything that Tony would say, Tony like that.
“What number are we on?” Tony asks, joking with Peter. 
“Sir it was two” Peter pants arching his body towards Tony's touch. But to his dismay Tony kept his hand just inches from having contact. 
“Are you sure it's two? It doesn't feel like it's two. I think we're just on one”
“But-” Peter's voice crack with complete despair which made Tony smile. 
“Just kidding. One more time, can you do that for me?” 
“Yes, yes I can,” Peter nods. Tony waited until Peter relaxed on the table once more before applying more lube onto his hand. 
This time he made sure to have a firm grip on Peters dick as he made the hand motions of going up and down. 
And soon enough Peter was on edge again. 
“S-sir,” Peter starts, mumbling the word over and over as if it's the only thing he can say.    
“Hmm?” 
“I’m close, I’m so close. Can I-?” he was cut off by his own moan. 
Tony didn’t say anything, instead he kept his motions going. Listening to Peters begs and moans, gosh Peter was so sensitive it was amazing.
“Go ahead,” Peter heard Tony say. In a matter of minutes he felt the knot that was in his stomach finally release and all the happy feels starts to rush around him. Tony kept jacking him off as Peter released in his hand. 
Tony leaned down and placed a kiss onto Peters check. “Good job honey” he whispers.

Allisaac + Keeping a bedside vigil so they aren’t alone
Canon divergent post s5 ep17. Derek & Allison bonding, hurt Isaac.
“I’m sorry,” Allison whispers. She’s holding Isaac’s limp hand and watching his chest rise and fall to the ventilator’s mechanical rhythm. Derek looks up from where he’s smoothing a washcloth over Isaac’s sweaty, fevered forehead.
“Why?” Derek murmurs, laying the inside of his wrist on Isaac’s burning temple and grimacing. Allison squeezes Isaac’s hand and then leans forward, resting her head on the thin hospital mattress.
“I did horrible things,” she chokes out. It takes Derek a minute to realize what she’s talking about, and he doesn’t know what to say for a few seconds. In the bed Isaac shifts and his mouth moves around the tube in it. They both freeze, staring Isaac down to see if he’s waking up, but Isaac just twitches one more time and goes still. Allison sniffles against the sheets.
“Allison,” Derek says, going back to wiping Isaac’s face, “You have more than made up for it.”
“But I never apologized,” she whimpers in the blankets, “I did terrible things, I nearly killed you all, and I never apologized for it.”
“Why is this all coming up now?” Derek asks, setting down the washcloth on Isaac’s forehead and taking Isaac’s other limp hand. Isaac is in pain, black leaping up Derek’s forearm almost instantly. Derek sucks in a sharp breath and takes as much as he can as Allison watches with tear filled eyes. She’s biting her nails on the hand not holding Isaac’s, and Derek reaches over and takes her hand away from her mouth.
“Thanks,” Allison whispers, and doesn’t let go of his hand, “Seeing him in pain makes me think about how it was me causing the pain.”
“Allison, he’s more than forgiven you, and you’ve saved all our asses more than enough times to earn forgiveness.”
“Not from Erica,” she croaks, “Not from Boyd.” And then the dam breaks and all of the stress Allison has been under since last night’s showdown with La Bete and Isaac nearly dying (He still might, the traitorous voice in Derek’s head that sounds a lot like Peter hisses) takes over. Allison crumples onto the bed, pillowing her head in her arms and shaking with sobs. She lets go of both his and Isaac’s hands and tangles her fingers in her hair, tugging at it. Derek stands and brushes a kiss over Isaac’s forehead, then gently takes Allison into his arms. She howls almost as loud as one of his wolves and fights him, hands coming up to smack against his chest. She almost catches his jaw with her fist but Derek just cradles her to him and watches the fight bleed out of her until she’s slumped against him, barely on her own socked feet, crying into his shirt. Derek scoops her into his arms, looping one arm under her knees, and starts to sway. He settles in the recliner after a few moments, letting her curl into a ball in his lap, and strokes her hair, keeping one eye on Isaac.
Allison mumbles something into his shirt.
“Hmmm?” He asks, pushing a piece of her hair back behind her ear. Allison pulls her face out of Derek’s chest and looks up at him with swollen brown eyes.
“Why are you being so nice to me?” she says, voice raspy from tears, “You don’t like me. You only tolerate me because it makes Isaac happy.”
“You’re growing on me,” Derek says, and Allison smiles weakly. It doesn’t reach her eyes, but her cheeks dimple.
“There she is,” Derek says, “Want me to go back to my chair?”
Allison shakes her head, wiggling a little so she’s slightly less on top of him, but keeping her legs draped over his thighs and her head on his collarbone.
“I’m scared,” she admits, curling her hands in his shirt hem. Derek picks up Isaac’s nearest hand so Isaac knows he’s not alone, and Allison reaches across him to stroke a few fingers over Isaac’s wrist, feeling for his pulse even though his heart monitor is beeping steadily and the ventilator is making his chest rise and fall and rise and fall. Isaac’s eyes move beneath his eyelids.
“He’s strong,” Derek says.
“Not just him,” Allison says, “That thing. It’s terrifying, Derek. It did this to Isaac, hurt him so badly he can’t heal from it, slowed down Scott’s healing too. And I’m not focused, which is bad, but i can’t focus on anything but how sick Isaac is-”
“Okay,” Derek murmurs, “Alright. It’s going to be okay.”
“How can you be sure?” Allison says, slurring her words sleepily, getting heavier and more languid in his lap. Derek knows she didn’t sleep longer than a few hours last night while they waited for Isaac to be done in surgery, and even that was under duress. He starts running a hand through her hair, knowing from watching Isaac interact with her that it’ll put her to sleep fast.
“I’m not,” he admits, “But I’m attempting to become an optimist.”
He falls asleep eventually, after Melissa finds them curled in the recliner and covers them both with blankets, Allison a warm steady weight in his arms and Isaac’s hand in his.
When he wakes up, all hell is breaking loose.
~
Allison wakes up because Derek is shaking her shoulder, and Isaac’s monitors are going crazy. Derek is holding Isaac’s head with the hand not shaking her, eyes locked on Isaac’s twisted, panicked face.
“Isaac,” she gasps, sitting upright and grabbing his hands in hers before he can wrench the tube out of his throat. His eyes are wide and half golden, the expression on his face terrified and frantic. Allison presses the call button next to his bed. Derek presses his forehead to Isaac’s and presses one of Isaac’s hands to his chest, over his heart. Isaac groans around the ventilator tube and thrashes
“You’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay,” she chants, very thankful he’s not werewolf strong right now. It takes almost no effort to keep the hand Derek isn’t holding still, and she presses it into the mattress with one hand and strokes through his curls with the other.
“Just relax,” she says frantically, as Isaac tries to buck off the bed but is stopped by Derek, “It’s going to be fine, the nurses are on their way.”
It feels like centuries before the nurses get there and Allison is being shunted away from the bed, dragged back by Derek. Isaac makes an anxious moaning sound around the tube when she’s forced to let go, still gagging constantly. Allison tries to break Derek’s hold on her with a high pitched keening sound, desperate to get to Isaac’s side as he fights harder.
“Okay Isaac, cough for me-”
“Take a deep breath-”
And then the tube is out and Isaac gags one more time, hard, and a nurse gets a basin under his mouth before he spits up bloody bile, head rolling back on the pillow with a sob.
“Ally,” he rasps in a weak, stripped raw voice, and she pushes through the crowd of doctors and takes his hand, Derek on her heels. Derek sits on the edge of the bed and brushes Isaac’s hair away from his forehead.
“I’m here, baby,” she murmurs, squeezing his limp hand. It’s sweaty and too hot, and he keeps rolling his head on his pillow like he’s looking for someone. She reaches up to set the damp cloth from the bedside table on his creased forehead. A nurse hands her a cup of ice chips and Allison coaxes him to open his mouth. Isaac’s eyes roll up to look at Derek, and Derek palms his cheek and forces a smile.
“M’ssa,” he mumbles around a mouthful of ice chips, big eyes searching the nurses checking him over. His oxygen is dropping with the normal cannula so one of them pulls out a high flow cannula. Isaac whimpers and tugs away from it, lips tinged blue.
“Here,” Allison says, “Let me. Can someone page Melissa McCall?”
Isaac lets her put the cannula on, wrinkling his nose when Derek tapes it down. He looks five seconds from falling asleep and at the same time horrifically uncomfortable, half writhing against the sheets. Allison flips the cloth on his forehead over and watches as Isaac reaches for Derek.
“Wanna go home,” he croaks, throat raw from the tube, “Take me home? Derek, please take me home.”
“I can’t,” Dere murmurs, “You need to be here to get better.”
“Werewolf,” he mumbles, and then Melissa comes in and he makes a little noise in the back of his throat.
“Hi, sweetheart,”  Melissa says, pressing a hand to Isaac’s cheek. Isaac makes a face and then tugs on the cannula.
“Want it off,” he croaks, “I don’t like it. Itchy.”
“You need it, honey,” Melissa says gently, “please leave it on.”
Isaac leaves it, turning his head into Melissa’s palm and away from Derek’s with a croaking whimper. Allison squeezes his hand.
“Are you in pain,” she asks gently, because he looks a little more comfortable now that Melissa is here and he’s surrounded by pack scents, but not by much. His face twitches and he nods once, sharp and short. Derek takes a deep breath and black veins start running up his arm from where his hand rests on Isaac’s cheek. Allison presses his pain pump and he stiffens until he goes completely limp as the drugs kick in, head lolling to the side and into Derek’s touch.
“Can I go home now,” he whispers at Melissa, big blue eyes wide in a way that he knows works on all three of them.
“No, Isaac, you can’t.” Melissa says gently, stroking his hair. Isaac whines a little and tosses his head
“Ally,” he mumbles, “Come up here?”
“I can’t, baby,” she says, and Isaac’s face scrunches and tears run down his cheeks.
“Derek?”
“Sorry, kiddo. You’ve got too many tubes and wires connected to you.”
Isaac coughs on his next sob and then starts gagging, turning his head to the side and wheezing. Derek lifts his head off the pillow until Isaac manages to clear his airway into a tissue Melissa presses against his mouth. Isaac looks so miserable it makes Allison’s stomach hurt.
“Oh, Isaac,” she breathes, and scoots her chair as close to the bed as possible. Isaac’s shoulders hitch with a sob that makes his face crinkle in pain and the tears come faster.
“Do you want something to help you sleep?” Melissa asks gently, “I know it’s a lot of work to come off a vent.”
“I want to go home,” he whimpers miserably, “I don’t want to sleep.”
“Isaac,” Derek says gently, voice pitched low and soothing, “Why don’t you try it? You’re hurting pretty bad, and I know you’re exhausted.”
“Don’t leave,” Isaac sobs, “You’ll leave if I go to sleep, you’ll leave me here-”
“No,” Melissa says, “Someone will be here with you as long as you want them here. I pulled some strings.”
“Derek?” Isaac whimpers, head falling to the side and eyes sliding out of focus, “Allison?”
“We’ll be right here,” Allison says, stroking his hair away from his face. Derek traces his mouth with an ice cube and Isaac opens his mouth for some more even as his eyes cross and start falling shut.
“Don’t wanna be alone,” he wheezes. Melissa checks the monitors.
“You won’t be,” she promises. Derek squeezes Isaac’s hand.
“Promise?” he slurs, almost completely unconscious.
“Forever,” she says. She leans down and presses their lips together as Isaac sighs on a breath, heartbeat going steady and slow in sleep, “I promise.”

jonghyun / key; tops can’t sext; PG-13
“Oh my fucking god,” Key mutters. He does not fucking believe. “What the fuck else was I supposed to send you?”
“Something with at least a modicum of effort,” Jonghyun says.
Jonghyun delicately pushes his phone a millimeter to the right, trying to lean in front of it so he can see the screen without leaning in front of the camera so that he blocks it. It's finally at a good angle, he thinks; he's got it stacked up on top of several books and the box that his newest scented candle came in to give it a couple inches of extra height on top of his dresser. It's looking down at the edge of his bed, not so steeply that it can see the frame, but not so shallowly that it can see the mess of all of his pillows and blankets that he shoved up to the front. Just perfect enough for a nice area for him to sit in very pretty and adorable. 
He smiles, proud of himself. He sits down so he can pull his cute black thigh highs up around his thighs , fixing them up nice and pretty. He fixes his hair in the camera next, pushing and playing with his bangs until they look perfect, then pops his lips a few times and grabs his lip gloss to add a little bit. They need to be perfect and glittery and glossy. 
Then he stands up just so he can shimmy in his sweater dress and pull it down to cling around his thighs and then gently tug it up to just barely cover his ass. He makes sure to make it look casual, rumpled but not messy, lazy but not sloppy. he sits back down, then wiggles and struggles into the position he wants: on his side, back and booty facing the camera, legs curled up just slightly, dick very cutely visible behind his thighs, upper body propped up on 1 elbow, his other hand tucking his fingers into the hem of his sweater teasingly, a bitten smile sent over his shoulder.
He squints at his phone. That's a pretty good shot, he thinks. Maybe be a little closer to the edge. He takes a moment to mentally figure out how he's going to get exactly back into this position in 10 seconds, then takes a deep breath and gets up again. 
 With one knee still on the bed, he reaches over and taps the shutter button on his phone. Then he scrambles to get back into position, making sure he's in the right spot, his dress is perfectly imperfect, his hair doesn't get mussed, his pose is precise, his expression is exactly what he wanted it to be. He barely has a second to spare before the picture takes.
He gives it a few seconds after, just to make sure, before he sits back up at the edge of the bed and grabs his phone to look at it. When he does, he frowns. The lighting is a little weird. He puts his phone back, then gets up and opens just his blackout curtains, leaving the fancy decorative set of curtains that go over them still closed. Just to let in a little more natural light.
He takes the picture again, and then again because he didn't make it in time and it was a little blurry, and then bites his lip, grabs his cute puppy ear headband from his closet, puts that on, reapplies his lip gloss, and takes another picture.
 That one Jonghyun is happy with. He smiles down at it, zooming in to look at his perfect hair and glittery lips, then zooming out and cropping it to fit better in the frame and adding a cute heart filled filter on top. Once it's perfect, he rolls onto his stomach to type out his sext. He kicks his feet in the air as he writes a couple of nice little paragraphs that detail how exactly he wants to be rawed, makes sure to end with a suggestion and a leading question and several pink emojis.
Finally he's satisfied, and after checking his spelling and grammar a couple of times, sends it and the picture to Key. 
15 seconds after the message sends, he gets a reply.
It's a dick pic. It's Key’s dick, pulled out of his boxers, flopped onto his thigh. In the background Jonghyun can see his legs sprawled out over his couch, the entire mess of jackets and hats and bags at the opposite end, one of his socks half falling off. There's also a stray pube sitting on the sliver of skin between Key’s shirt hem and boxers.
The message that comes with it is, “Super cute what are you going to do with this puppy boy ; )”
Jonghyun sees red for a second.
 ~
Key thumbs through his phone lazily, checking his Instagram notifications while he waits for a reply text from Jonghyun. It's been at least 20 minutes; he's probably busy or something since he's not replying straight away like usual. A little rude, if you ask Key, to start up sexting when you're not even ready to commit to it, but whatever. He's not complaining. He's just chilling with his phone and his half chub, waiting patiently.
Rattling from his back door makes him startle and drop his phone. Who the fuck. He's going through his mental list of who he's given a spare house key to when he hears the door open and a voice call out through the house.
“Hey dickhead, it's me,” the voice says, and that's Jonghyun. Key relaxes, and then frowns, confused, as Jonghyun appears at the doorway to his living room, putting his sunglasses up on his head and smiling bright.
“Did you text me you were coming over and I didn't see it?” Key asks, picking up his phone again. If that's what happened then that would make Jonghyun’s silence for the past 20 minutes makes sense.
“Mmm, no,” Jonghyun hums. “I read your last message and I just. Had to come over and tell you how it made me feel!” he chirps, bright as the moon at night, sharp teeth biting into a glossy pink lip. He walks over to stand behind the couch and smile down at Key. Key takes a second to process this, and then smirks himself, running his fingers through his hair and raising his eyebrows.
“Yeah?” he asks. If he'd known that Jonghyun was so easy to please, maybe he would sext him more often. “Why don't you tell--”
Before he can even finish that sentence, Jonghyun makes a sudden, intense movement. He slaps one hand on the back of the couch, crouches down, and then, before Key even understands what's going on, the couch is moving. It's lifting, turning, tilting over, and then he's rolling, and then the floor is coming up very very close very very fast, and then he's screaming, and then he's in pain.
Mostly in his dick, which was still out, and which just made very close nuzzly friends with the carpet, and which now feels like it's on fire a little bit. 
Key grunts into the carpet, disoriented. “What the absolute fuck,“ he thinks. 
“What the absolute fuck,” he says out loud. 
“Do you know how long it took me to send you that text?”
“What?” Key repeats. He pushes himself up on his forearm and pushes his hair out of his face, squinting up at Jonghyun.
Jonghyun has set the couch back down and he's leaning up on the back of it, elbows on the cushions and hands crossed at the wrists. He's also smirking, the asshole, down at Key like he's proud of himself. He's changed out of his cute sweater dress, too, exchanging it for one of his sleeveless black band T-shirts. 
“Like 25 minutes,” he says accusingly. He points one very loud finger at Key, his mouth turning into a sharp frown. “It took me like 25 minutes to get all dressed up and get a perfect angle and take that picture and write all of that shit,” he snaps. “Fuck you and your five-second dick pic.” 
“Oh my fucking god,” Key mutters. He does not fucking believe. “What the fuck else was I supposed to send you?”
“Something with at least a modicum of effort,” Jonghyun says. Key grunts under his breath, shaking his head as he pushes himself up to his knees. What the fuck. Getting one hand on the seat of the couch, he pushes himself to his feet, puts his dick away, and then flops back down onto the cushions in time to see Jonghyun hopping over the back. He lands in the space next to Key and immediately leans into his side, getting himself comfortable with Key as a pillow. Key scowls at him. 
He opens his mouth to say something very grumbly and scathing, but before he can, he notices that all of his clothes that were on the end of the couch are now all over the floor. Instead, he tsks loudly and tries to get up and gesture at all of them. Jonghyun pushes him right back down and snuggles even closer to him, smiling his brattiest. 
“Maybe if you cleaned your house every once in awhile and weren't a shitty top then they wouldn't be there,” he says. Like this is Key’s fault.
“I am not a shitty top,” Key says. Jonghyun just raises his eyebrows at him and then very pointedly rolls his eyes over to his phone. Or, wait-- “That's my phone,” Key exclaims, reaching for it. Quick as lightning, Jonghyun grabs his wrist, and then his other wrist when he tries a second time. Key struggles while Jonghyun effortlessly transfers both of his wrists to one hand and then picks up his phone again. ”You're too buff,” he mutters.
“Thank you so very much for buying me coffee,” Jonghyun smiles. And sure enough, Key sits and watches and whines helplessly as Jonghyun orders himself a latte using Key’s account. “What do you want?” he asks, easily making Key poke himself with his own fingers. Key glares at him, then sighs and says, “There's a button to just get my regular.”
“Ooh, neat,” Jonghyun chirps, finding it and poking it. He finishes the order, then tosses Key’s phone into his lap and gives him back his wrists. “Every time you send me an awful zero effort sext back to something I clearly spent time on I'm going to come over here and steal your phone and buy myself a coffee,” he threatens."If you don't have time then just don't send anything back."
“Fuck you,” Key snaps. At the same time, while Jonghyun turns and snuggles him and grabs the remote to turn on his TV, he pulls open the internet and looks up how to take a better dick pic.

The Friendversary
stevetony. mcu. rated t. werewolf!steve & vampire!tony au. 2.3k words.
also on ao3.
*****
Tony barely registers the voice calling his name. He should roll over, get out of bed, and check. It could be an emergency. Hell, maybe the apartment’s on fire or they’re in the midst of being robbed.
But then, he could just keep his eyes closed and stay in bed. He can’t remember the last time he got a decent day of sleep. To take that away from him is daylight robbery.
Besides, Steve can handle things. Steve with the broad shoulders with arms that could probably bench press Tony if he asked. Steve who could tear limbs apart as easy as breathing because he’s a freaking—
“—ony. Rise and shine!”
But of course like everything in life, Tony could never get things his way.
He lets out a grunt, moving to cover his ears with his pillow. “Ugh, go away.”
Unsurprisingly, the pillow is yanked out from under him. His head hits the mattress with a soft thump, a quiet groan tumbling out of his lips.
“Tony,” the voice says, much more insistent and familiar.
Goddamn dog.
“Fuck off. It’s morning.”
“The sun just set, actually.”
As if by magic, some of the grogginess Tony feels dissipates. He cracks an eyelid open, meeting a pair of perfectly blue eyes and a perfectly cheery smile and a big dopey mug. It's a sight Tony never, ever wants to be greeted with this early in the night.
“I hate you.”
Steve smirks, leaning against his doorway with his arms across his chest. “You say this now but wait ‘till I drink all your blood.”
“You don’t drink blood.”
“I might. Just to give it a go.”
Tony scoffs, motioning to sit on the edge of his bed. “That’s what you said six decades ago,” he says, rubbing the rest of the sleep from his eyes. “And what happened after?”
Steve scowls. “You’ll never let that go, huh?”
“I would if you’d stop threatening me about it.”
“It worked, didn’t it?”
“Not in the slightest.”
“Well, you can nag me about it later,” Steve says, detaching himself from the doorframe. “Meet me up on the rooftop.”
Tony frowns. “Rooftop? Why are we—”
That’s when he notices Steve’s getup – a dress shirt that brings out the silver in his eyes, slacks, and a pair of ankle socks. His typical tousled hair is slicked back. Tony’s pretty sure it’s gelled.
Steve doesn’t dress up often and since they’re meeting up on the rooftop, that could only mean one thing.
His lips twist into a smirk, taking a couple of steps backwards. He probably noticed Tony forgot, the bastard.
“C’mon, Tony,” he says in a sing-song voice. “We’re burning moonlight.”
Tony rolls his eyes, flinging the covers off his body. “I’ll be there. Don’t worry your pretty little head about me being— What?”
Steve startles, tearing his gaze away from Tony’s…body?
“Nothing!” he exclaims, his voice a couple of decimals higher than usual. “I just— Yeah.”
Tony couldn’t help but snort as Steve zips away. Sometimes, Steve would be reduced to a stuttering mess out of the blue for no explainable reason. There might be an explanation though if Steve doesn’t wear scent blockers.
Then again, so does Tony. He shouldn’t be annoyed with Steve doing the same. It’s only natural to wear them since they're living in a city mostly populated by humans.
Tony takes his time in the shower, getting dressed, and styling his hair. If anyone could see him right now, they'd probably think about how ridiculous he's being, how effort he's wasting. It’s dinner with Steve, after all. Tony could be wearing a rucksack and Steve wouldn’t even bat an eye.
To be fair, today's their anniversary. The occasion is basically screaming for cologne and hairspray.
“Time flies huh,” Tony mutters to himself as he fastens his cape around his neck. “Five hundred goddamn years.”
It’s a miracle that they’ve lasted this long as friends, let alone best friends, and roommates. He can’t imagine if they actually did something dumb like date each other. They probably would’ve only lasted a month or two. Maybe a year, at most.
Or maybe if you actually tried shooting your shot—
Tony shakes his head as he unlocks his balcony door and steps outside. There’s no point dwelling on that right now or ever, even. Steve’s a werewolf. And werewolves wouldn’t be wasting time on giving people like Tony a second glance. They’d be focused on finding mates.
Mates who’d be furry and smelly and enjoy roaming around in the woods for the rest of eternity. Not bloodsucking nocturnals who fly around and live in graveyards.
Not that Tony is living in a graveyard right now, but the notion still stands. They’ve been going strong for five hundred years. Why try ruining things?
Steve’s already on the rooftop, sitting on a picnic blanket with a basket by his side. He flashes Tony a broad grin, all canine and bright. In all his six hundred and eleven years of living, Tony’s never seen such a beautiful person be this dorky.
“You do know there’s a perfectly functioning elevator, right?” Steve drawls out as Tony lands on the edge of the rooftop.
Tony shrugs his shoulders. “Yeah, but where’s the fun in that? I need to stretch my legs. Plus, it’s more fun to scare the humans.”
“Yeah. If you’re into endangering the whole mythical community.”
“Wouldn’t be the first time.” He sweeps his cape behind him, spreading his hands. “Well, how do I look?”
Steve pauses, his eyes roaming around, drinking Tony in. “You look… You look…”
“I better looking dashing,” Tony interrupts. “You know me and mirrors. I wouldn’t have asked you if—”
“You definitely do,” Steve interrupts, a little too earnest than Tony deems necessary. “You look beautiful.”
There’s an odd intensity behind Steve’s blue, blue eyes. Tony makes a mental note to reexamine that later.
“So,” he begins, breaking the silence as he settles down next to Steve, “what’d you got for us tonight?”
They usually take turns getting dinner together. While Tony leans towards more expansive and refined options, Steve’s tastes are much simpler. This year, he's opted for burgers and fries for himself and a homemade blend of cow’s blood, pomegranate, and strawberries for Tony. Just the sight of the crimson liquid being poured into his wine glass has Tony salivating.
“Well,” Steve begins, raising his bottle of lemonade in the air, “here’s to five hundred years of friendship.”
“And five hundred more,” Tony adds, clinking their drinks together. “Until you meet your mate, that is.”
Whenever Tony brings up the M-word, Steve freezes up. This time is no different.
“Tony—”
“I know you hate all the mate talk but as I said before—”
“Tony—”
“—I don’t think you’d want to spend the rest of your life—”
“Can we not talk about this right now?” Steve interrupts, his time firmer. “Please?”
Tony sighs, taking a large gulp from his glass. He almost moans at the clash of flavors swirling around on his tongue. The irony of a werewolf brewing one of the best vampire drinks Tony’s ever tasted. “Alright, alright.”
Dinner goes without a hitch, after that. They fall back into their usual topics of conversation of work and friends, making sure to steer clear of any talk of romance and mates.
“You know,” Tony begins after the food has been cleared and they’ve finished a lapse of comfortable silence. “I always thought about how funny this is.”
“What?”
“This…” He gestures between the two of them. “This…thing. You know.”
Steve’s lips quirk to the side. “What? That we get along?”
“Not that. Although that has cropped up pretty often. I mean, us. Having an anniversary for our friendship. Like, who does that?”
“Carol and Maria do,” Steve points out.
“Yeah. And they started dating a couple of years after. Try again.”
“Does it matter?”
Tony sighs, waving his hand around. “I don’t know. I just— Isn’t this something you do with your mate?”
The smile on Steve’s face slides off. “Tony—”
“Or at least someone you’re attracted to. ‘Cause let me tell you, nothing kills the mood better than—”
“Tony!”
Immediately, Tony’s jaw clamps shut.
Steve’s shoulders sag but his blue eyes are still stormy with anger. “Jesus, Tony. I told you to drop it.”
“I know—”
“I don’t get why you’re so adamant about me finding a mate.”
Tony picks at the hem of his cape. “It’s been five hundred years, Steve. I just— Aren’t you lonely?”
“Why would I be lonely?” Steve asks, sounding puzzled. “I have you.”
If Tony still has a pulse, he’d be pretty sure it’ll be racing right now. “That’s different,” he says slowly. “We’re friends. Just friends. Friends with a capital ‘F’.”
A heavy silence shrouds them. For a moment, Tony feels stupid. Exposed. He shouldn’t have said that. Fuck, he really should’ve kept his mouth shut and—
“What if I don’t want to be friends.”
Wait, what?
“What if I want to be more than friends,” Steve continues, wringing his hands, his cheeks reddening with each passing second. “What if—”
“You want us to be mates?!”
If he isn’t a vampire, he probably would’ve chalked it up to him hearing things. Then again, being a vampire hasn’t stopped him from hallucinating and hearing things.
Steve winces, his whole face now turning crimson red. Hell, even the tip of his ears is a bright shade of blush. It’s goddamn adorable.
“Only if you want to,” he says. “I know we’ve never talked about it and I know you don’t feel the same way—”
Tony reaches out, curling his fingers around Steve’s wrist, putting a stop to his escape. Fortunately for him and his hand, Steve doesn’t fight him off.
“Woah, woah. What the hell do you mean I know?”
Steve frowns. “Don’t you?”
“No! ‘Course not.”
As quickly as it came, the color in Steve’s cheeks drains.
“Oh,” he breathes out, his voice barely a whisper. “I thought you knew. ‘Cause you know, super senses.”
Tony frowns, puzzled. “You wear scent blockers.”
“I don’t mask my heartbeat,” Steve counters. “C’mon. You’d had to know how it races when I’m around you—”
“That’s corny as fuck.”
“Just saying the truth, is all.”
“I—” Tony racks his brain, trying to recall something. Anything.
He comes up empty.
“I mean, I don’t have the best memory around—” Steve cocks an eyebrow. “What? You know I’m right!”
His lips tug to the side, staring at him with stark disbelief.
Tony rolls his eyes. “Cut me some slack, Steven. I’ve been dead for centuries. Excuse me for not remembering. I figured that was your regular heartbeat.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Well, what about you, huh?” Tony shoots back. “You had to know I’ve been drooling over you for four hundred and ninety-nine years!”
Steve’s eyes widen, his lips parting. It’s times like these that the vampire that turned Tony all those centuries ago actually sucked him dry.
“Fuck,” he groans, burying his face in his hands. “This is so embarrassing.”
“No, it’s not—”
“Someone kill me—”
“You’re already dead.”
“I know,” Tony moans. “Fuck. I can’t believe you’re attracted to a corpse. A fucking corpse!”
Steve snorts, mischief lacing his tone. “I don’t know. You look pretty lively to me.”
“Shut up. This isn’t funny, Rogers,” Tony mutters before lifting his head up. “Do you really want to shackle yourself to me for another five hundred years?”
Steve deepens his grin, a grin that Tony could only describe as wolfish. “I mean, we’ve gotten this far, haven’t we?”
“I guess. But we’d be together. In a relationship. Until you get sick and tired of me—”
“I won’t,” Steve insists like the dumbass he is. “Like I said before, we’ve gotten this far.”
“Yeah?”
He gets a kiss in answer.
Steve’s lips are soft and warm against him. Tony can’t remember the last time he’s felt this good, this thrilled, this warm.
He doesn’t know how long this goes on, losing track of time and himself into this moment, into finally. It’s only that when they do pause for Steve to catch his breath, Tony realizes he’s in Steve’s lap, his thighs clamping Steve in place and his cape pooling at his feet.
“You taste of wet dog,” he murmurs.
“And you taste of blood,” Steve breathes, tightening his grip on Tony’s waist and god, Tony wants. He wants and needs everything.
“That gonna be a problem?”
“Nope. Not in the slightest.” He sighs against his lips and fuck, he is warm and he smells faintly of pine and vanilla – a combination Tony never thought could make him weak in the knees. He can’t imagine how overwhelming it’ll be when the scent blocker fades away.
“I can’t believe we wasted five hundred years,” Steve continues. “We could’ve had— We could’ve been—”
“Could’ve been mates?”
He blinks, his smile flickering. “I mean, only if you want to. You don’t—”
“Have I forgot to mention that I’ve been in love with you for four hundred and ninety-nine years?” Steve opens his mouth but Tony cuts him off. “And before you ask, no, I don’t care what people think about us. People have been assuming for years, anyway.”
“That’s not what I was going to say,” Steve says. “I was actually going to say I’ve been in love with you for four hundred and ninety-nine years and five months. So.”
Tony cocks an eyebrow. “And you say I’m stupid for a genius all the time.”
“I mean, I am a dumb dog.”
“A dumb dog who chose a bloodsucker as his mate.”
Steve scowls. “Hey. That’s my bloodsucker you’re talking about.”
Tony hums as he snakes his hands around Steve’s neck. “This bloodsucker is also in the mood to suck something else.”
“That was terrible.”
“Please. You love it.”
Steve grins as he tilts his head forward. “Guess I do.”

Cheating
Reader: Female
Character: Oikawa Tooru
Rating: Explicit
Chapter: 12/26
Tumblr media
please read the prologue first!
Tumblr media
It's been a couple of days since the fight between Oikawa and Iwaizumi at Gaby's now apartment. Hajime and she only saw each other for two days, since he went to get his things to go live with Scarlett. She prayed that Iwaizumi didn't spread the whole problem throughout the school. She knew him so much that she knew he was going to change everythingto his own favor.
That same night Oikawa spent the night to comfort her, since Iwaizumi's words hurt her a lot. It was amazing how understandable Tooru is. Gaby ended up asleep on Oikawa's chest, while he gently stroked her back and gave her some kisses on her head. He's hurt by seeing the girl he loves in that state, even if he felt a little guilty about what happened.
Inside herself, she knew this was all going to happen sooner or later, and it was better now than dragging it out even longer. Another thing she didn't believe was how fast she fell to Oikawa. She didn't know if it was because of how good it felt to be with him or because she was not alone. She doesn't want to hurt him either, because he doesn't deserve any of it. At times like this, she would be with her best friend asking for some advice, but she no longer has anyone. So, she was now talking to herself with the mirror, while she waited for Oikawa for a walk through the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.
"I feel like the best thing in this case is to tell Tooru about going slow. I don't want either of us to get hurt, it would be unfair." She murmured into the bathroom mirror, both hands holding onto the sink. "I know he will understand, he's always been so understandable. I'll talking to him first." She felt kind of pathetic talking to a stupid mirror.
Gaby turned on the faucet to the sink, letting the water fall and dipping her hands a little to rub her face a little. She plunged into her own thoughts, but the moment she came out of the bathroom, she heard the doorbell. Which meant only one thing, Oikawa Tooru. She looked at the clock at the end of the hall. 4:32 pm. Just in time. She felt like a zoo in her stomach, just thinking about everything. She put her thoughts aside, walking toward the door. His hands felt sweaty. Gaby raised her hand to turn the doorknob, opening it slowly. Seeing Oikawa in front of her, she did nothing but smile. He was wearing brown striped pants, white airforce ones along with long socks, a long-sleeved shirt with a turtle neck. His brown hair with its perfect waves. He looked totally handsome. He always looked good with anything.
"You look handsome." She whispered shyly, playing with her fingers.
She heard a laugh from the brunette. Her reactions seemed so cute to him. He stopped to observe her outfit. She looked so beautiful. A skirt in the same style as his pants, but in gray with a brown belt, a long-sleeved brown wool shirt and black leather boots. Besides her hair it was loose, with slight curls.
"You are not left behind, princess. As beautiful as ever." He said with a tender smile, approaching to her and taking her by her waist, pulling her closer to his body. He moved her left hand up her curves, then taking her chin and leaving a short, tender kiss on those lips that he missed so much. Then he pulled away from her, taking her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Let's go?"
She smiled at him a little, nodding, but then she remembered that she have to speak to him.
"Wait." She gently tugged on his hand to stop him. "I need to talk to you before we go, and I hope this doesn't ruin everything. I know you'll understand me though." Her voice betrayed how nervous she was.
"I'm all ears, baby." Oikawa gave her a smile and another squeeze on her hand, reassuring her. He knew her well enough to know that she was nervous. He also couldn't hide his own nerves about it.
"This is something I've been thinking about since that argument with Iwaizumi. First of all, I don't feel anything for him anymore." Gaby began to speak, the nerves fading little by little. "But I feel like everything between us has gone very fast. It's been three days since I broke up with Hajime, and it would be very suspicious for you and I to start a relationship that quickly. My feelings for you are the same, I like you very much, Tooru. I'm just saying we should go slow. Enjoy the moment." She finished, with a small smile and looking for a sign of anger on Oikawa, surprised to see nothing.
"Were you really nervous about it?" Oikawa giggled softly, shaking his head. "I fully understand what you are saying, and I respect it. We will take everything in stride, until everything is perfectly fine overall." Tooru approached Gaby again, giving her a kiss on her forehead.
"Stupid." Gaby shook her head, laughing softly. She ran to the living room, taking her purse, hanging it on her shoulder, without first checking that the keys, phone and wallet were there, returning to the door next to the brunette. "Now we can go, Kawa." She murmurs as she takes out the keys to the apartment, and thus closes.
Tooru smiled at her, taking her hand again, intertwining their fingers. They decided to go by the elevator. Thank God there was no one, so a couple of exchanges of kisses and laughter could not be missed. They were both completely happy. Everything was genuine and beautiful.
When they reached the main corridor of the building, they left at a slow pace and without fear of anyone seeing them. They arrived at Oikawa's car, a white 2020 Volvo XC60 with slightly tinted windows. As a true gentleman, he opened the door to her. He waited for him to settle in, to close the door carefully and go to his side. He climbed in, pulling the keys out of his front trouser pocket. He started the engine, releasing the emergency brake, but hoping it would warm up a bit.
"If you want you can put music on, honey." He smiled at her, starting to drive out of the parking lot.
Gaby listened to him. She connected her phone via bluetooth to the radio, going to Spotify. She searched through her many playlists and put on one of her favorite songs, Teeth by 5 Seconds of Summer. Oikawa placed her free hand on Gaby's bare thigh, caressing it gently with his fingertips. His gaze was on the road while he only had one hand on the wheel, sometimes moving his fingers to the beat of the song. He could hear Gaby singing in a low tone as she gazed out the glass at the scenery and played with Tooru's hand.
"Fight so dirty, but your love's so sweet. Talk so pretty, but your heart got teeth." Gaby sang a little bit loud, bringing a smile to Tooru.
After about thirty minutes of walking, they were already in the parking lot of the place. It was already getting a little dark, and the park was dimly lit. There were couples, families with children running around. The blooming flowers, giving color to the place. She got out of the car with Tooru's help, thanking him. They held hands again as Oikawa locked the car with the key button.
"This is beautiful." Gaby whispered as she watched the place admiringly. She rested her head on Oikawa's arm as they continued walking.
Tooru saw a cotton candy stand, and he pulled Gaby a bit to go there. He asked for a small blue one to share between them. Everything felt like a dream. Although they had chosen to go slow, they were not afraid of being recognized by someone. In the end, they are best friends to all of them.
They continued walking until they reached a fountain, which had led lights. They decided to sit on a bench, while they continued to share the cotton. All between laughter and little kisses. Everything became a silence, but one without tension or anything, it was just the two of them quiet while they watched the couples walk and children play with their parents.
"Thank you very much, Tooru." She broke the silence, getting Oikawa's full attention.
He looked at her in some confusion, "Why thank you, darling?"
"For absolutely everything. I don't know what would become of me right now. Capable of still holding Iwaizumi's shit." She whispered, while playing with the hem of her skirt. Oikawa placed his free hand on her thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"You don't have to thank me, honey. I just did what was right at the time." He told her, seeking to comfort her a bit. Tooru placed a kiss on her head. "You are everything I want, babe. You will always have me here, whatever it is. Even if we end up dating, I will also be your best friend. Your confidante and partner in crime." That last words made Gaby giggle.
"I love you very much, Kawa." She whispered, clinging to him and hiding in his chest. He hugged her, preventing the cotton from touching her clothes.
"I love you too, pretty one. More than you know." He said against her hair, leaving another kiss there.
They parted, smiling at each other. Tooru looked at the watch he was wearing on his left wrist, noting that they had already been in the place for almost two hours. Time went too fast. That is what happens when you are so comfortable with someone.
"Do you want to go to the apartment yet? Or we can drive around town in the car." Oikawa asked, squeezing her thigh again.
"Let's go to the apartment, we can watch a movie or anime." Gaby replied.

Seventeen Members in Maid uniforms: Hyung Line
This post is inspired by a presentation I made for the SVTredroom squad lol and I just wanted to share. These are all purely my opinion based on my time working in a maid cafe lol. This ain’t super spicy but smutty stuff is still mentioned.
Tag List: @chewmycherry​ @suhdreams​ @hyeri-yah​ @peachycheol​ @risquewonu​
Seungcheol
So I’m a firm believer that Cheol would go for a more typical style maid uniform. 
Poofy short sleeves and a fluffy skirt
Either black or white thigh high stockings, but he wouldn’t wear a garter belt or anything so his stockings would like roll down because his thighs are hella thick
plain white katyusha headband
no gloves, and he would wear small pump heals with little buckles.
black spats under his skirt instead of bloomers. 
His petti coat would probably be either white, or one of svt’s colors.
It would over all be very basic, but his style would come out in his accessories.
His apron would probably be more of a waist apron with straps that come up on his shoulders. It would also be where his uniform shines.
Apron would probably have the Seventeen logo embordered onto one of the corners
also would have cute little bows on the apron, as well as a trim on the bottom of his skirt to match the bows on his apron. 
Overall, he’d be trying to set a good example as the leader so while his outfit is a bit basic it’d still be super cute.
Now for the smutty bits. Cheol is less likely to sub, especially if he’s wearing something like this. So if you ask him to wear this then you better expect to ride him while he’s wearing it.
There’d also be a small chance that he uses his apron to tie your arms behind your back, but only if you’re comfortable with it. 
He also surprisingly likes the feeling of your hands on his stocking covered thighs, the sheer material and your touch would just be too much for him.
He doesn’t mind the uniform but don’t expect him to wear it all that often.
Closest example: 
Tumblr media
Jeonghan
So I personally feel Hannie would go with a more Traditional/Victorian style uniform. Not for modesty’s sake but because he thinks it’s more elegant and he has appearances to keep up.
Long sleeves, ankle length skirt, black bow tied under his collar.
his sleeves would probably poof a the shoulder and then get tighter after the initial poof. 
He might wear gloves if he’s feeling it that day, but it’s all up to his mood.
Also would have a plain white Katyusha, with maybe some black ribbons at the edge of them.
He’d also definitely wear those glasses he has with the little chains? they would 100% match this look. Also instead of heals he would wear little Mary Janes with little white bows on the top.
So we all know Jeonghan is one of the freaky members, so under the dress he’d have a pair of sheer white or black stockings but they would be held by a garterbelt.
He also doesn’t wear his regular undergarments', he’s probably wear some kind of silky lingerie to tease if you just so happen to get a glance under his dress. 
Jeonghan would 100% be down for you fucking him while wearing the uniform. He would go full sub (bratty sub but still a sub)
His favorite type of scenario would be if you ‘caught’ him slacking off and take him from behind while he’s pressed against a wall. 
Closest Example: 
Tumblr media
Joshua
Josh would probably be in the same classification as Cheol with his more standard uniform
Plain black dress with the poof sleeves, but his skirt would be a bit on the shorter side.
His apron would be a bit different from the other though, more of an ‘underbust’ style of apron that’s kinda tighter on his figure.
Instead of gloves he would probably wear those little white wrist cuffs like Chippendale dancers wear. 
He would also be one of the members who wears actual panty hose instead of thigh highs. 
His heels would probably be some of the higher ones, but they wouldn’t be stiletto thin. 
His Katyusha would be less of the traditional kind and more like the tied lace ones that just sit on your head. 
His accessories would probably be some kind of collar or ribbon as a choker cause Joshua is a little freaky like that.
I personally think Josh would love fucking in the uniform, he loves letting you have control.
He would be one of the members that would probably really get into the ‘naughty maid’ role and would probably become completely submissive to you during this.
He loves when you leave marks on his visible skin and when you choke him, it leaves him shivering and trembling beneath you. 
Another thing he enjoys is when you tear his stockings instead of taking them off. 
Closest example:
Tumblr media
Junhui
So out of all the members, I think Jun would 100% be down for ANY TYPE of uniform.
Long skirts, short skirts, long sleeves, flowing sleeves, poof sleeves. He likes them all.
His favorites thought would be more of the high collars uniforms with ruffles on the chest. 
He would have the cutest petti coats, with a nice poof and it would either be a light pink or pale green. 
Jun would also be one of the few members comfortable wearing bloomers (aka pumpkin shorts) 
either black thigh highs or cute under the knee white socks, with a cute pair of flats.
Junhui LOVES having sex in his maid uniforms. He has a bunch of different ones for every occasion and will 100% let you peg him while wearing the dress.
He likes things starting out slow though, his favorite thing being when you slip your hand under the hem of his dress to tease him. 
Closets Example:
Tumblr media
Soonyoung
I’ll let you know now, whatever ideas you have about what Soonie would wear. You’re right.
He would without a doubt have a keyhole maid uniform, but instead of it being a heart it would be the cat head ones (he would call it a tiger head).
His apron would even have a little cat tiger paw embroidered into it.
Instead of a Katyusha he would have a pair of tiger ears and little tiger paw gloves as well.
Besides his tiger accessories, his apron would be super cute with lots of ruffles.
His basic dress would either be black or pink, but he would be determined to find an orange one. he might even commission one.
Just like Junhui he would love fucking in the uniform, subbing or doming it doesn’t matter. He’s one of the more open members when it comes to sexy times so this would be just another fun time for him.
He’s more playful during sex so expect to hear some Horanghae’s here and there. 
Despite his usual attitude he’s also pretty good at roleplay so if you’re down for it then so is he. His favorite scenario is the maid who is secretly a spy who gets caught by their boss and fucked into submission. It’s exciting for him.
Closest example: 
Tumblr media
Wonwoo
So...Wonwoo would be one of the member’s that is...a little harder to convince to wear the uniform. Which made it harder to find a uniform style that he would be comfortable wearing.
I feel he would go for a cyber maid kinda look, since he’s kinda a gamer nerd it would probably be something he would find...neat.
It would also differentiate from a standard uniform more than more other members.
An aline skirt, strapless dress with a kind of jacket look to it. 
his apron would be smaller, and would only tie around his waist.
Like Joshua he would also wear panty hose but his would be skin colored and would have designs that resemble circuits on them.
Surprisingly he would try out stilettos, and would actually look hella fine wearing them. 
Over all he would have  a smore sleek and stylish design to him.
I don’t think he would be comfortable having sex in the uniform, maybe a bit of foreplay but once things get serious the dress is coming off.
Closest Example: 
Tumblr media
Jihoon
Just like Wonwoo, Jihoon isn’t to into this idea 
but if you ask with like super big puppy eyes then he would probably agree. On one condition.
he gets to be a military maid
Which usually is just a standard maid uniform with some kind of weapon.
His would probably have longer sleeves, his skirt would probably reach about knee length and he would wear a rather small pettie coat.
probably some black basketball shorts underneath though. but the skirt would be long enough that they would be hidden. 
Would probably wear some kind of platform shoes for intimidation factor.
He wouldn’t really have a lot of accessories, over all a pretty plain outfit.
Somehow you would be able to convince him to do a photoshoot and he would 100% do a ‘step on me’ picture.
Sadly Jihoon does not feel comfortable fucking in the dress unless you’re the one wearing it. So don’t expect any fun times until he’s properly changed.
After that though, expect to be up all night because he is definitely getting you to put on one that he bough for you. 
Needless to say, you’re not sleeping.

pillow talk - jjk
Tumblr media
pairing: jeongguk x reader
genre/warnings: (light) e2l, college!au, fluff, light allusions to smut, inspired by dummy saying he’s been sleeping on towels jfakdslj
word count: 1,772
summary: the one where jeongguk’s pillow smells like alfredo sauce
a/n: this is set in the “not a date” universe (linked on my masterlist!) but this can be read separately. if you are a “not a date” fan...this includes hints at the sequel wink wonk
Tumblr media
Upon flicking open the lock to your dorm, you didn’t expect the first words out of Jeongguk’s mouth to be an almost guttural, moaned, “Pillows…”
Your confusion rooted your feet in place, door still half ajar to the hallway when he brushed past you in route for your loft. He tripped into toeing off his shoes, a stuttered movement between the bend of his knees and the launch of his stature onto your meticulously made bed.
You aided the door in closing, gradual in turning the handle so it made no noise and pausing when the lock made one in its place. You turned just a slow, rubbing a neat circle into the rug below your socks as you squinted at the curled lump on your bed.
“Did you say…pillows?”
Bright eyes and floppy fringe popped up from where he was holding the middle of your three pillows to his chest, nose buried at the hilt of the soft material. Almost frantically, Jeongguk cast the object aside in favor of your tiny stuffed elephant suffocated between his thigh and the wall, holding it delicately to his chest as he rolled to face you.
“Uh—” He shifted again, wiggling one arm underneath his head to prop his cheek onto his palm, “—I’m just extra tired today, I guess.”
You nodded, picking your way through a scattered mess of your roommates’ things and Jeongguk’s discarded shoes to boost yourself onto your mattress, perched on the edge next to his wide eyes that regarded you quietly. Your lips rounded to answer him, some sort of conversational rebuttal or a gentle agreeance because you too were very tired.
And then there was a head in your lap with pleading star irises blinking happily up at you.
Subconsciously, you fit gentle fingers into soft black tresses, scratching lightly at his scalp to get him to close his eyes so you could think. When he hummed, turning to dig his nose into your stomach, you tried to scold, “My lap is not a pillow.”
“Your hand in my hair is saying otherwise.”
Your fingers tightened, tugging from the root at his hair but the yelp you got out of him was directly followed by another, deeper, “That’s not punishment, you know that—”
“Stop talking,” You soothed your grip, continuing gentle strokes until he flopped over in your lap.
Round, gentle brown weren’t quite as bright in regarding you, crossed in jagged red lines that softened into swollen, lower eyelids, ones that crinkled the longer you held his gaze but you shook your head, instead choosing to press your palm against his forehead.
“…are you okay?” You flipped your palm to brush your knuckles against his skin.
“I’m not sick if that’s what you’re asking,” Jeongguk shook his head to dislodge your touch, grinning when you instead cupped his cheek.
“Then what’s wrong?” You placed a silencing finger over his widened lips, “Don’t tell me nothing. I’m, unfortunately, around you too much to know better.”
He shrugged, silent in shrugging a hand from the sleeve of his hoodie to hold yours, lacing your fingers together and effectively pulling your grip from his face to rest at his chest. He sighed, “I haven’t slept very well the last couple of weeks.”
Your immediate thought was exams and projects and papers, all of which you shared in your similar majors. Jeongguk’s was spoken with pink cheeks, “You haven’t stayed over since the party Namjoon and I had.”
You pushed into his chest with your hostage knuckles regardless, “Do not blame me for your three am Overwatch binges.”
“You said it, not me.”
“Guk—”
“I’m kidding,” He held your hand tighter anyway, speaking quickly, “I do sleep better when you’re around, though.”
“Stop trying to guilt me for how pitiful you look right now,” You teased, leaning back a bit to get a better look at him, only worsening the blotched bits of red that began to increase over the places were freckles indented his skin.
“Anyway—” Jeongguk stared straight at your ceiling until red began to lessen into pink, “—there is, uhm, something…else keeping me from sleeping.”
“Cricket infestation? Namjoon reciting medical terminology to himself in rap form in his bedroom? The guys above you having a roller skate party?”
“All good guesses,” He inhaled again, “but no, actually, I uh…”
“I spilled alfredo sauce all over my pillow and the smell won’t come out so I haven’t had a pillow and have been sleeping on a bunch of wadded up towels.”
Jeongguk spoke so quickly, it would have been reasonable for your silence to be to reconfigure the syllables that had just left his lips.
But you heard him. You couldn’t stop hearing the words sleeping on wadded up towels.
Then you laughed, gentle, not a tease just disbelief. “Guk, what?”
“I tried washing it,” He continued to ramble to the crown bubbles on your ceiling, “The pillowcase and the pillow itself. It just smells like a gross mixture of my fabric softener and cheese. It made me feel sick, actually. So yeah…towels were the solution.”
“Namjoon doesn’t have a spare pillow?”
“I didn’t ask.”
“Bubs,” You had the urge to hug him and tease him endlessly all at once. But he looked pitiful below you, nothing like you’d ever seen, especially with your toy elephant still perched delicately on his torso, so you spared him with nothing but some more laughter. “I don’t even know what to—”
“Let me nap,” Jeongguk grumbled, rolling so that two arms sanctioned your waist and your plush elephant tumbled into your, now crumpled, mess of duvet and sheets. “That’s what you can do.”
You worked around his lanky stature attached to you at the hip, dragging your pillows so they were situated for sleeping, tugging on the duvet until it was peeled back enough for you to slip underneath if you wanted to. Next step was detached him, something you worked at by pinching the underside of his wrist, “Don’t you want pillows and not me to sleep on?”
Another gravely hum against your navel, “Hmm…pillows…”
Jeongguk moved sluggishly, sliding underneath the nest you’d made for him with one of your pillows firmly pressed against one side of his face. He let go of the savior in the form of faux feathers and cotton to make grabby hands at you, slurring sleepily, “…and you?”
You were one knee into sinking into his embrace when there was the metallic click of the lock behind you, followed by dull shuffling and the not so quite curses of your roommate. You froze, Jeongguk’s hand on your waist underneath the hiked up hem of your top, his body taking up the vast surface of your twin bed. In the flurry of Jeongguk moaning pillows upon entering your dorm for some quick studying before dinner, you’d forgotten to text her to let her know he’d be around.
Before she could express that discontent, you shifted backward, taking Jeongguk’s forearm into two hands and tugging. “Sorry,” You rushed to her figure, “We were just heading out.”
She didn’t speak, dropping her backpack with an unceremonious thud as Jeongguk tripped after your incessant tugging, stumbling around in a haste to gather his shoes onto his ankles. “I won’t be back tonight, by the way,” You continued in shoving your arms into your jacket, forced smile plastered to your teeth, “You get the room all to yourself!”
“Great, thanks,” She answered dryly, eyes flashing to Jeongguk where he stumbled into your back, lips immediately falling to your ear.
“I have no pillows, remember.”
It was almost comical with how you thought your roommate couldn’t hear your less than quiet musings to each other, “We’ll stop and get some on the way to your place.”
You were nearly out the door, hand stopping it from slamming shut when Jeongguk spoke in your ear again, “What if we brought your pillows with us?”
“But you need new ones anyway.”
“…can I keep one of yours?” He began to talk with his hands when he sensed the confusion in the scrunch of your eyebrows, “It would solve the you not staying over lately thing too. You know…smells like you and whatever.”
“But I’m staying with you tonight.”
“Good, it’ll extra smell like you.”
You sighed in defeat, pushing on the door until it was wide to your roommate standing with her back to you at the foot of her bed. “Fine, go pick yourself out a pillow.”
Jeongguk eyed you like you’d just grown a third limb from the bridge of your nose. “You’re making me go in there?”
“If you want one of my pillows, yes.”
You had to clasp a hand over your mouth to keep your laughter at bay when he scurried inside, offering a short wave to your roommate who glanced at him with a less that amused expression over the screen of her phone, turning back to it with a roll of her eyes as he collected your two closest pillows and your elephant plush into his grasp. He tottered back for you like an extra padded turtle, backpack bouncing against his spine, plush material sanctioned against his chest with the happiest grin spread across his features.
You sighed once the door was safely shut and locked behind him, “Ready now?”
“Yes. Might not leave my bed ever again, now.”
Jeongguk traced your path down the back staircase of your building, barely flinching when you dug in his back pocket for his car keys, fiddling with them as you shrugged into pushing open the final door to the outside, “Good, makes the competition in our major far less—”
He used the plush at his chest as a makeshift bumper car, nudging into you until you stumbled off the sidewalk path into a patch of dying grass. “Mmm, I don’t know about that, baby.”
“Not that it’s that high right now, alfredo pillow.”
His eyebrows rose when you tried to push him back, barely getting him to budge off the path, “…good one, babe.”
You began walking backward in front of him when you spotted his car on the street, lifting your phone to your face, “Think Tae and Jimin will find it funny? I can find out—”
“I’ll make you sleep outside tonight.”
“I’ll steal your car and leave you here.”
Another challenging eyebrow exchanged between the two of your trudging footsteps and then you were shrieking as Jeongguk began to chase you.
“You can’t out run me!”
“I still have your keys! And don’t drop my pillows, dumbass—"

Credit for super friggin’ cute and super friggin’ amazing cover art goes to the super friggin’ talented ky-jane here on tumblr!
Tumblr media
"Do you think Kristoff is cute?" Anna asked, elbows propped on the table and chin in both hands as she watched the man in question from across the food court.
"You kiddin'? The dude's a hunkasaurus. Total dreamboat," Lea replied distractedly, not looking up from his current task. He was seated atop a different table, this one behind me, his feet perched to either side of me on the armrests of my chair as he played with my hair, slowly braiding and unbraiding it only to rebraid it again. "Better snap him up quick. If you don't slice yourself off a piece of that beefcake, I might beatcha to it."
My sister blew out an amused pft through her teeth as she looked over at him. "Sure, like he'd even give you the time of day."
"Oh-ho, trust me. If I wanted that boy, I'd have him."
"Anna," I sighed, interjecting myself back into the conversation. "Focus, please."
She blinked owlishly back at me, clearly having already forgotten my question. Or quite possibly not even having heard it in the first place. "...on…?" she asked at last, dragging the word out uncertainly.
I exhaled softly. "About Mother and Father?"
Her eyes darted to the left as she squinted and tried, "As in… do they think Kristoff is cute?"
My eyelids drooped and I gave a flat, "No."
Today found me with not one visitor on my lunch break, but two. Lea came as little shock. Even though he had the day off, he'd lately taken to doing his homework here in the food court whenever I was on the clock. That way, he could spend my lunches with me, not to mention score free ice cream throughout the day. Anna, on the other hand, had been an unexpected surprise, but always a welcome one of course. However, it was quickly becoming apparent that it probably wasn't really me she'd come to see.
Not if the way she kept eyeing my coworker as he ran the ice cream counter was any indication.
It'd been a few weeks now since her rather explosive breakup with Hans. Given that she normally got over past boyfriends in under a day, maybe two tops, the fact that it'd taken her this long to quit moping over him said something. But it seemed at long last she was back to her old, perky self again and all but wearing a "cute, single and ready to mingle" sandwich board sign. And apparently it was Kristoff's lucky day, for it seemed my sister had set her mingle-crosshairs on him as her latest conquest.
I didn't know whether to congratulate the guy or tell him to run. My sister would eat him alive.
Anna was now staring at me expectantly, waiting for me to elaborate. I bit my bottom lip, looking down as my fingers absently began to trace the snowflake pattern of my stockings. "I just… I was wondering… how Mother and Father were doing, that's all."
I'd still yet to speak to them since the little blowout at their house the weekend of Grandfather's birthday. If they weren't going to contact me, I certainly wasn't going to make any effort to reach out to them either. Still, I couldn't deny that it weighed on me a bit. I'd mostly been trying to keep my mind off it, trying to distract myself by throwing all my attention and energy into rehearsals.
She frowned then puffed out a heavy breath, causing her lips to flap. "Ya know, I'm not sure really… Fine, I guess? The same? They're not really on speaking terms with me since they found out about me and Butthead."
If you couldn't guess, that was her oh so charming nickname for Hans now.
Not to mention the only name anyone was allowed to refer to him as in Anna's presence these days.
"Ah," I breathed, fingers fidgeting with the hem of my work skirt. "...I see."
Her lips pursed to one side. "Now that I think about it though… them and Grandpa haven't really been on speaking terms either lately. But no clue if that's so much as his choice or theirs."
"Oh? Huh…" my brow furrowed and my head tipped to one side.
What could it mean?
"You should talk to 'em, ya know," came Lea's low voice suddenly as he hunched down next to my ear.
A tiny scowl twisted my face as I glanced over at him. He quirked an eyebrow back at me from beneath my Ice Palace cap, which he was currently wearing backwards. I huffed and crossed my arms, "If they want to talk to me, they know where to find me."
He snorted and sat up straight once more, his fingers returning to gently combing through my hair, eliciting a tingle in my scalp that made me shiver. "Someone has to be the first one."
"Yeah. Them," I harrumphed.
Now he pressed his lips to the back of my head before his hand ruffled my bangs. "You can be so stubborn sometimes, ya know that?"
No comment.
"Right!" Anna was abruptly hopping up to her feet and pumping a fist as she set her determined eyes on Kristoff once more. "I'm gonna march up to that boy and work my magic! Prepare to have your socks knocked off, you big sexy manbeast!" She then smoothed a hand over her hair, tugged on the neckline of her dress to flash a little more cleavage, and took one confident step towards the Ice Palace.
That was as far as she got before, "Hold it!" A hand shot out to snag her elbow, stopping her in her tracks. "We need to talk to you."
Anna blinked down at the offending hand, then at its owner, Rayne. She'd just shown up with a grinning and waving Kairi at her side.
Where'd they come from? I hadn't even seen either of them approaching.
"...me?" Anna asked, pointing at herself as both eyebrows flew up her forehead.
My roomie nodded then turned her eyes towards me to clarify, "Both of you."
Huh. This now brought the count up to four people dropping by to see me on my lunch break today. Never before had I been in such high demand.
Had I become, dare I say it… popular?
Dear god, I hope not!
Rayne's gaze narrowed on Lea. "Beat it, Red. This doesn't concern you."
"You beat it!" Lea shot back as his arms hugged me from behind, pulling me back against his chest. He made a small hmph that I more felt than heard as he rested his chin atop my head, "This is my El Time. You're not allowed to cut in on it, you live with her."
She rolled her eyes. "You two have plans together tonight once her shift is over, right?"
"So?"
"So you can give up five minutes of your precious El Time for me and Kai here to have a quick chat with her. Now go on, shoo," she dismissed him with a bored flick of her wrist.
He grumbled, "Ugh, fine. Looks like the kiddos just punched in over at Pizza Planet, so guess I could go grace their sad existences with my glorious presence." Releasing me, he pulled my elastic band off his wrist so he could tie my hair back into its ponytail. Then he was nuzzling his face into my neck, planting a quick peck there before whispering in my ear, "Be back in a sec. You'll miss me, I know, but try to keep the tears in check, hm?"
In response, I turned my head to kiss him on the nose… followed by smothering his face with my hand and shoving him away. He sniggered, pushing himself off the table.
"Hope you're ready to have your ass curb stomped tomorrow, Organization scum," Kairi slyly smirked at him.
"Big talk coming from someone's who lost the last two years runnin' now, Princess twerp," he tugged down his left lower eyelid with his middle finger and razzed his tongue at her before turning and jogging off, still wearing my cap.
Eyes flicking back and forth between him and Kairi, Anna asked, "What was that about?"
"Laser tag," I grinned softly as my gaze followed Lea for a second before I reached back to tighten my ponytail and glanced at the rest of ladies once more. "It's practically all he's been talking about for the last week."
"Mm-hm," Kairi nodded as she and Rayne pulled up chairs to sit with us. "It's also what we want to talk to you about. We're here to recruit you two!"
My head rocked back slightly. Then my brows knit together as my eyes darted about. Uh, heh… no thanks! Checking my phone, I stood up quickly, "Er… would you look at the time? I'm due back from lunch! I should go cloc-"
"Sit!" Anna snagged my wrist and jerked me back down into my seat with a firm thud. "You still got at least another ten minutes, liar!"
"Snitch," I grumbled back.
Lifting her chin with a smug little smirk, she looked back at the other two. "Please, continue."
"You know Space Paranoids, right? The laser tag place here in the mall?" Rayne began, addressing Anna more so than me, seeing as how I already had some clue as to what was going on, thanks to Lea. "Well some years back, a buncha us rented the entire place out for like a whole day and it was a total blast. We all had so much fun that we decided to make it an annual thing. More and more kept joining every year and as people kept getting more and more competitive, it wasn't long before two official teams were formed. Lea's group calls themselves the Organization."
"Such a buncha dorks," Kairi shook her head with a snerk. Then she was pointing back and forth between her and Rayne, "Our team is way cooler. We're the Princesses."
Anna bit back a grin and cocked one eyebrow at my roommate. "The Princesses? Really?"
She closed her eyes and heaved a sigh, "Kai's idea. It stuck."
"Hey now. Princesses are cute and kick serious butt," Kairi cockily flipped her hair back over her shoulder.
"Anyway," Rayne chimed back in, "we thought this year those Organization losers were gonna have to forfeit because they were down two teammates that moved away recently. However, not only did those jerks manage to snag the mall security guards as replacements, but now we're down two people ourselves."
"Really? Who?" Anna eagerly leaned forward in her seat, thoroughly invested now.
"Me," she muttered, face twisting sourly as she gestured down to her belly. At five months along now, she was starting to look very much pregnant. She huffed indignantly, "Some people think it might not be safe for the baby."
By the tone of her voice, I was guessing "some people" included her husband.
"You are getting pretty big now, Ray-Ray," Anna snickered. "Maybe it's a good idea-"
"Shush!" she glared, striking up a finger in warning. "I get enough of that from Riku!"
Kairi spoke up once more, "Our other person who's out this time round is Ariel. She's got bronchitis."
I blinked. "Again?!"
"Again," she and Rayne groaned in unison. Kairi then beamed, clapping her hands together once, "That's where you two come in! Could ya please, please, pretty please help us outta this major jam here and top off our team? Whaddya say?"
"Sweet! Count us in!" Anna declared, excitedly balling her hands into fists in front of her chest.
"Correction. You can count her in," I touched Anna's shoulder, then placed a hand over my chest, "and me out."
Kairi's face fell, "But we need you!"
I snorted, "No you don't, I'm the last person you need. I've never played laser tag before. I've never even held a, uh… um…" I grimaced, floundering for the right word before saying lamely, "...laser… beam… shooter… thingie ever in my life!"
"You can just call it a gun, sweetie," Rayne cooed, reaching over to pat my hands.
"But that's the beauty of it! That doesn't matter! We don't need you to be good," Kairi argued before a tiny, wicked smile broke out across her face. "We just need you to take care of Lea."
My head tilted to the right as I frowned. "...Lea?"
Rayne nodded, "Yup! He's one of their best players, along with Xigbar and Saïx."
"Saïx?" I echoed, squinting at her. "You mean to tell me he's awake during the daytime for this?"
"There's three days a year that dude'll brave the sun, and our yearly laser tag game is one of those days. He takes it surprisingly seriously," Rayne explained solemnly.
Wrinkling my nose up at the ceiling, I inhaled and exhaled loudly. "I still don't understand how I'm supposed to help you with Lea, especially if he's as good as you say he is."
"Simple!" Kairi chirped. "You just need to keep him distracted! Mess with his head a lil. Throw him off his game just long enough for the rest of us to knock him outta the match early."
I furrowed my brow at her. "...and how exactly am I supposed to do that?"
"Isn't it obvious?" She gave me an impish wink. "Use your feminine wiles."
"My…?" A crease formed between my eyebrows now as I stared down at my lap. "...do I even have those?"
Kairi laughed, "Course you do! All girls have them."
"Yeah, even you, Sis!" Anna pinched my cheek. I shut one eye against it, swatting her hand away.
"Trust me, all Elsa has to do is exist around that boy and he's a total goner. He'll be eliminated so fast, he won't even know what hit him," Rayne muttered to Kairi, who nodded in agreement. Then my roomie was locking eyes with me once more, "So how 'bout it, sweetpea? Will you help us out?"
I shifted in my seat uncomfortably. "I… uh…"
Anna nudged her shoulder with mine, "C'mon, Sis, pleeeeeeeease? I'm super friggin' pumped, this sounds like so much fun!"
Clasping my hands between hers, Kairi pleaded, "Help us, Elsa-Wan Kenobi! You're our only hope!"
"Well, I… er…"
Then they did it.
I was the victim of a triple-decker puppy-dog-eyes pout.
Perhaps I could have withstood one, even if it was Anna's. And maybe, just maybe I could've even resisted the combined force of two. But three?
I defy anyone to say no to that.
Shoulders slumping, I gave a long drawn out sigh. "...what time tomorrow?"
All three of them threw up their hands and cheered. After they took a few seconds to settle back down, Kairi said, "Don't worry, we'll get all the deets to you soon! And remember, you're our ace in the hole. Our secret weapon!"
A tiny gulp. "I am?"
"Yup! So don't breathe a single word of this to Lea!"
Tumblr media
And breathe a word I did not. Thus, the next day…
"What the…? Oh, hell no!"
At Lea's outburst, I glanced towards him as Kairi, Anna and I walked out into the Space Paranoids lobby. We'd just been freshly geared up with blasters, half-helmets and vests - and by vests, I meant small, impossible-to-hit (at least I thought so anyway) targets over our hearts held in place by glow-in-the-dark, suspender-like straps that latched back behind our shoulders where a second target was located. The helmets also had targets on them, as well as see-through plastic visors that covered our eyes.
The lobby seemed to be split by an invisible line, with what looked to be the Princesses grouped up together on one side and what I could only assume was the Organization on the other, given that Lea was standing with them as he glared daggers at Kairi from across the room. She merely shot him a cheeky smirk and called, "Problem, beanstalk?"
He marched over, crossing enemy lines to glare down his nose at the considerably shorter redhead. "Uh-uh. Nope. Not allowed. I call foul. Objection!"
She snorted, unconcerned as she checked her nails and shrugged. "Dunno what has your panties in such a twist, big guy. Care to enlighten me?"
He jabbed a finger in my direction while still directing his snarl at her, "Get her outta here. She's not part of this, find someone else."
Kairi scoffed, "There's nothing in the rules declaring girlfriends off limits. In fact, there are no rules."
"Well there should be! In fact, I'll draw some up right this damn second!" he huffed, tucking his blaster into the back of his pants before storming over to a counter, behind which a pasty-complexioned employee currently stood. Lea snatched a pen off the countertop before stomping back over to us, angrily jamming his hand into one of his pockets and fishing out something crumpled. Then he slammed it to the wall and attempted to smooth it (without much success), uncapped the pen with his teeth and began scrawling across it.
"Rule 1…" he enunciated as his pen furiously scribbled, "...no… girlfriends…" He paused, then amended, "or boyfriends…" Another pause, then he scribbled it all out and started over. "Rule 1… no… smooch-buddies…" he underlined those first two words three times before continuing," ...on opposite… teams. Period. That's it. That's all… the rules." His pen stabbed down hard with finality before he shoved the crinkled thing with his handwriting all over it in front of Kairi's face. "There. Rules. Happy?"
Kairi dully stared at what he was holding, unfazed. Then her eyelids drooped. "...that's a napkin."
Lea rolled his eyes, "So what? Doesn't make 'em any less ironclad!"
She gingerly took "the rules" from him, eyeing them with a thoughtful nod for a second. Then she looked him dead in the eye as she ripped them in two, forcing a horrified gasp out of him as the shredded halfs fluttered to the ground. "Sorry, I don't recognize your napkin rules. She's playing, so suck it up."
He narrowed his eyes down at her. "I'm onto you. I know what you're doing."
"Oh? What, pray tell, is it that I'm doing?" she asked all sugar-sweet like.
His face pinched and there was a low, annoyed growl in his throat. Then he pointed two fingers at his eyes, then at her, then back and forth a few more times. "I see you, villain!" he hissed before turning away from her to address me now, his face and tone softening. "...can I talk to you real quick? Please?"
I fidgeted with my gun, struggling to keep a straight face after the sheer ridiculousness of the tiny spat I'd just witnessed, especially with them both wearing their little cheap, plastic helmets the whole time and looking absolutely absurd. At my nod, he slipped his hand into mine and led me over to an empty corner of the lobby where we could chat with some small amount of privacy.
"If those girls pressured you into doing this, you can ignore 'em, ya know," he told me quietly, shooting the Princesses one final scowl out of the corner of his eye. "You don't hafta do this if you don't want to."
I bit back a grin. He actually kind of looked adorable right now, sulking like an overgrown child behind that silly eye-visor he was wearing. It was hard to take him seriously. "It's okay. Really. I'll admit, I was a bit nervous and hesitant at first, but this also sounds like it might be kind of fun. It's fine. I want to play."
"But I don't want you to," he frowned, his fingers reaching out to idly fiddle with the tip of my braid. I don't think he even realized he was doing it. "...some of the guys don't hold back, El. Once that starting buzzer blasts, all bets are off and it can get pretty rough in there. You could get seriously hurt."
I slowly shook my head, "But the other girls-"
"-have played this before and know what they're getting into. You don't," he insisted.
I made a small hmph in my throat as my stubbornness began to spark. "How bad could it be? Really?" Glancing back towards the Princesses, I pointed out one of them in particular. "What about her, right there? She's, what… ten? Eleven years old? If you got grade schoolers playing, I think I'll be fine."
"She's one of their scariest players. Seriously, they hop that kid up on a mega shit ton of sugar from the Wonderland candy store until she's stark raving mad, then set her loose to wreak unholy hell in the laser tag grounds."
Huh. On second glance, the little girl did look twitchy. Almost freakishly so.
Sighing, I looked back up at Lea once more. "Look, I told Kairi and the others I would play, and that's what I'm going to do. I'd feel bad backing out now as I doubt they'd be able to replace me at the last second like this. I can take care of myself, you know. I promise I'll be careful, but I am doing this," I brought a comforting hand up to stroke his cheek, my eyes crinkling slightly. "So suck it up."
He snorted, dragging a hand along the nape of his neck and puffing out a heavy breath. "Fine, I guess I can't stop ya. But know this," he hunched down to my eye-level, tapping me lightly on the nose, "if we cross paths in there, don't think I'll go easy on ya."
"Good," I grinned back. "Neither will I."
"Oh-ho, pretty sure of ourselves, are we?" he smiled, rubbing a finger over his chin now. "In that case, care to put a lil wager on this?"
I turned my head to one side, shooting him some side-eye. "...I'm listening."
"How 'bout… whoever is the last one standing between the two of us, wins. And if I win…" his eyes hooded as he ducked down next to my ear, his voice silky and low as he continued, "...you ravage me senseless tonight. Maybe while wearing that lil mini skirt I like ya in so much."
My face warmed. Flirting was a part of relationships that I still wasn't fully accustomed to just yet. Hans had never really done it and it's not like I could simply brush it off as Lea's empty teasing anymore. Clearing my throat, I just asked, "And if I win?"
He gave a soft chuckle, nipping at my earlobe. "Then I'm the one who ravages you senseless."
A tiny smirk tugged at my lips. "...maybe while you're the one wearing the mini skirt?"
Lea shot up straight, eyes wide. Then he laughed, "Deal!"
I stared at him blankly. "I was joking."
"I wasn't. Be careful whatcha wish for," he singsonged, wagging a finger in my face. I merely drooped my eyelids at him and he snerked. Then his hand was cupping the back of my head, pulling me in for a sound kiss to the lips and murmuring, "Good luck."
"You too," my arms hugged his neck as I gave him a light peck in return. "You're going to need it."
"You have way too much confidence for someone who's never played before," he snorted and I just shrugged. Then we reluctantly parted and started making our way back to our respective teams.
I glanced around as I walked, getting a better look at the lobby. It had a very retro futuristic feel to it, what with all its hard angular lines that glowed neon blue and red decorating the walls, ceiling and floor. Even that pale employee behind the counter was dressed head-to-toe to match the room. His nametag read TRON - I had to wonder if that was an actual real name or (more likely) just the name he was assigned while on the job. On the wall beyond the two teams were a pair of doors, one that was dark grey and blue like the colors of the Princesses' helmets, while the other was white and red like the Organization's. I could only assume each group would enter through their matching door once the game was about to start.
Opposite the room from there was a wall made entirely of thick glass, through which could be seen the front desk where customers came in to sign up and pay for laser tag rounds. That area had several flatscreens hanging on the walls showing live feeds of various sections of the laser tag arena for onlookers to observe the match in realtime, so the place was currently packed with a small mob of people who'd come to watch our little face-off. It seemed this annual event drew quite the crowd.
While I didn't recognize most of the faces, there were a few familiar ones here and there. Aqua, Ventus, and Terra grouped together on one side… Yuffie and Leon on another… and over next to Sora, I could even spot Naminé there with a sketchpad in hand. I think she was drawing us players all decked out in our gear. And was that… Vanitas, of all people, trying to cozy up next to her? She seemed oblivious to him. Rayne, on the other hand, most definitely was not. She shoved her baby bump in between the two of them, forcing Vanitas to stumble back a step as she plucked Naminé's art pad from her hands and smacked the goth lord across the face with it. She then handed it back to Naminé, who just went back to sketching as if nothing had happened. Then Rayne was smiling and waving at me through the glass as Riku stepped up behind her to slip his arms around her waist and rest his chin on her shoulder.
As I waved back and took my spot next to Anna with the rest of the girls, I heard a wry voice coming from the enemy team, "Trouble with the lil missus, Flamesilocks?"
"Bite me, Cyclops," Lea snapped as he rejoined his team, his sour mood apparently resurging.
"Heh. As if," that same smug voice shot back. It belonged to a tall man with a jagged scar on one cheek and an eyepatch that looked rather odd to say the least when paired with his helmet's visor. His long black and grey-streaked ponytail swished as he then bent low into a dramatic, mocking bow directed towards another guy with long silver hair who I recognized as the supervisor over at Cinema XIII. "If I may do the honors, oh illustrious leader?"
The man - presumably their team captain - said nothing, just gave an uninterested flick of his hand.
That was all the go-ahead Eyepatch needed. Raising his voice so both teams could hear, he called, "Alright, listen up, scrubs! For most of you, this ain't your first rodeo, but I'll give a quick rundown anyhow seeing as we have a few first-timers in the ranks today. Here's the short and skinny of it: This first round - as in the only round that really matters - is one shot, one kill. Meaning all it takes is one hit and," he smirked, dragging his thumb across his throat, "you're out. Luckily for you gals, friendly fire has been disabled. This is where we separate the real men from the thumb-suckers. And there are zero points this first match, so when all you pretty, pretty Princesses are KO'd-"
"When?" Kairi sneered, narrowing her eyes at him from across the room.
He flashed her a toothy grin. "You hard of hearing, Strawberry Shortcake? Must be all that glitter and unicorns jamming up your earholes. Yes, when all you ladies are down for the count," he jerked his thumb to his chest, "we win. And for any boohooers out there who wanna play by points and multiple lives, don't worry. All the matches after this one are wimp-friendly. But might I suggest instead of relying on those lame handicaps, you all just get good like me?" he puffed up his chest, planting one hand on his hip while twirling his blaster in the other.
Suddenly the target on his vest lit up red and started beeping loudly, indicating he'd been hit. His assailant - a chick on our team with long, wild, curly red hair - lowered her gun with a snort before roaring with laughter while several of the other girls joined in.
Eyepatch chuckled, "Nice potshot, Hotshot. Save it for the game."
I had to wonder if this guy was Xigbar - one of the Organization's three best players besides Lea and Saïx, or so I'd been told. He certainly seemed cocky enough, that was for sure. Then again, cocky didn't necessarily mean he was any good.
As I eyed the other Organization members, I spotted a few I recognized from around the mall. The team leader wasn't the only one from the movie theater - that kid with the emo haircut was there too. So was Larxene, the blonde chick sporting the funky hairdo. I'd finally had a chance to learn her name, seeing as how she was assistant director in the musical I'd joined. The director himself, Marluxia, was there too, as well as Demyx who was helping provide our play's music and who also worked at The Blue Sitar, if I was recalling correctly. Then there was Roxas and Xion, who were doing their best to perk up a still slightly pouty Lea. Saïx was near at hand to those three, although he seemed to be keeping to himself and concentrating… or more like… meditating? Maybe... honing for the upcoming match? Wow, he certainly did take this seriously!
Next in the lineup were the two mall security guards who I'd met that night I'd accidentally pushed The Anger Button on the soft serve/milkshake machine - their names were escaping me at the moment. And lastly, there were two blondes. The first one had a goatee and piercings and I believe I remembered seeing him working at the magic shop here at the mall. The other one wore his hair long and had a chilly expression. I don't think I'd noticed him around the mall ever. In any case, I suppose there was a chance one of them could be Xigbar too.
A siren blast suddenly blared out through the overheard speakers, making me jump as the team doors slid open. Whoops and hollers from the players filled the room as they all started shuffling into their corresponding doorways. Anna hooked her arm through mine, flashed me a grin and dragged me along to follow the others.
"Don't worry, big guy, we'll try to return her to you in one piece," Kairi gave Lea one last parting shot. In response, he merely flipped her the bird as he disappeared through his door and all the Princesses erupted into cackles.
Beyond the doorway was a long winding hallway that got darker and darker the deeper we went, the only light source now coming from those neon glowing lines above, below and all around us. The further in we got, the more it began to look like we had somehow found our way inside a ginormous computer from the 80s. Eventually it brought us to another big room that was decorated in nothing but blue lines - our team's HQ, if I had to take a guess. There were three more sealed doors that would probably lead out to the rest of the map once they opened up, with huge, light-up timers over each one counting down until the start of the match. We had less than five minutes.
Quick introductions were made - I actually knew a handful of the Princesses already. There was Snow White and Tiana, who were in the musical with me. Aurora, who I remembered from auditions. Belle from Friday night drinks at the 7th Heaven. Then some girls I recalled seeing around the mall and was just now getting to know their names: Cindy from The Glass Slipper, Jasmine from Cave of Wonders, and Rapunzel from Hair, Here, Everywhere - gosh, how was she not going to trip over all that hair of hers while she ran around playing laser tag?!
"And this," Kairi went on, gesturing towards the redhead who'd landed a hit on Xigbar earlier during his little speech, "is Merida from over at DunBroch Goods, the camping and sporting goods store. She's our best shot."
"You're damn right I am!" she declared proudly in a thick Scottish accent. "And I've been putting extra time in over at the archery range! All those scaffy dolts aren't gonna know what hit 'em!"
Next Kairi was nodding towards the little twitchy girl. "This here is Alice. She's Luxord's baby sister from over on the other team." I smiled and Anna began to wave, but Kairi grabbed her wrist and lowered it with a subtle shake of her head, whispering, "Try not to make eye contact."
Apparently lost in the sugar-rush sauce, Alice just gave another twitch.
"And last but most certainly not least, this is Kida from Atlantis Electronics," Kairi pointed to a girl with long white hair and a blue face tattoo who grinned big, "annnnnnd Moana from Heart of Te Fiti, the lil surf outlet we have here." The chick with a mane of frizzy black hair next to Kida wiggled her fingers in greeting.
"Right, that's everyone! Now, onto the plan of attack!" Kairi clapped her hands and rubbed them together with an evil gleam in her eyes. "Everyone knows their positions except for the newbies. Anna, stick close to Alice and Punzie."
"Got it!" my sister nodded before giving a tiny squeal and bouncing on the balls of her feet. "Ahhh! I'm so excited!"
Kairi then looked to me, "As for you, you're with Merida and me. We'll keep you safe until we can track down your boy toy. Then it's all up to you to do your stuff!"
My forehead wrinkled. "My… stuff?"
"Ya know," she waggled her eyebrows at me. "Work that groove thang, girlfriend!"
...first it was feminine wiles. Now apparently I also had a "groove thang?"
I was learning so much about myself within the past twenty-four hours.
"Once you got him good and distracted and all puddy in your sweet lil hands, Merida and I will be sure to put him six feet under," Kairi smirked, squeezing one eye shut as she aimed her blaster and mimed firing it, shouting, "Blam!" before blowing the imaginary smoke away from the barrel and beaming.
"Blue combatants prepare to enter the Grid in sixty seconds," a synthesized female voice announced over the sound system.
Kairi glanced up at it, then added, "Now! Real fast before the game starts, let's show you ladies how these bad boys work!"
In the scant time we had remaining, Anna and I were given a quick rundown on how to aim and reload our guns. Then we broke into smaller groups that stood ready at each of the three doors that would soon open. As my teammates started giggling and counting down the final seconds in a loud chant, I swallowed hard.
All that confidence I'd been flaunting to Lea earlier? Yeah, nothing but talk. Now that the time was finally upon us, icy anxiety began to flood my veins and my free hand came up to twist at my braid. On its own, playing laser tag for the first time was scary enough since I really had no idea what I was doing. But all this talk tossed around about feminine wiles and, er… groove thangs? Wasn't helping. I wasn't sure if I could pull off what the Princesses were asking me to do.
...Rayne had said me just existing around Lea would trip him up. Maybe that would be enough? Maybe-
Another siren blast startled me once again and those big metallic doors slid open. Alice let loose a blood curdling war cry that was surprisingly loud for one so small before charging off out of her door. Anna mimicked her with a bellow of her own as she and Rapunzel raced after her. "Come on!" Kairi snagged my elbow and I staggered into a run between her and Merida as we exited through our own doorway with Moana and Kida bringing up the rear.
The place was an absolute maze inside. We took so many turns that it wasn't long before I was utterly lost and couldn't have found my way back to HQ if I'd even tried. Each new section we entered looked exactly the same as the last. It was all just dim lighting and those glowing blue, red, and now orange lines. Part of me was beginning to wonder if we were just running around in circles.
I could hear muffled shouts and digital blasts echoing from beyond the walls surrounding us, coming from somewhere that sounded far away and making me wonder just how big this map really was. Regardless, each zip and every zap that reached my ears had me flinching and almost stumbling over my own two feet as I ran. I was getting more and more on edge with every passing second.
Alright, Elsa, deep breath. In and out. Nothing to worry about. This is easy. This is fun, in fact… or so I'm told, anyway... Just relax and have a good time. It's a new experience. We like new experiences, right? New experiences are great. New experiences can be liberating. New experiences-
"Watch our backs!" Moana suddenly yelled.
I jolted and started to spin around to look back at her, "Wha-?"
She shoved me out of the way, getting us both around a corner to use for cover just as the sound of laser fire reverberated down the hallway we'd just come from. Breathing heavily, Moana gave me a firm nod and a fierce grin. "You're welcome!"
I just stared wide-eyed back at her, panting to catch my breath after all the running. Then she was ducking low and darting across to the other side of the hall, laying down cover fire as she went.
"Damn," Kairi hissed as she and the other two girls pressed their backs against the wall next to me. "How'd they get around behind us so fast?!"
"Embrace the nothingness!" someone roared from the other end of the hall before several blasts went off.
Returning fire, Moana called over to us, "Sounds like its Xemnas! He has someone else with him, but I can't quite make out-"
More rapid laser zaps cut her words off, followed by someone else snarling, "Grovel before me!"
Wait… I knew that voice… but no, there was just no possible way it could actually be-
"Crap," Kairi hissed, face turning stark white. "Saïx."
I stand corrected. Apparently, it could be and in fact was him.
Talk about being a completely different person! It seemed laser tag turned Saïx from Dr Jekyll into Mr Hyde.
As the gun fight grew louder around me, my heart began to pound in my ears, my knees shook, and my mouth went dry. I felt totally paralyzed and had to keep reminding myself that this was fun. Just... oodles and oodles of fun!
Oh dear, I was hyperventilating a bit…
...hyperventilating from all the fun, of course!
Kida was suddenly in front of me. I think she'd sensed my anxiety, because she was gripping my shoulder tightly and giving me a warm reassuring smile. "All will be well, Elsa," she told me calmly, soothingly… right before her face twisted ferociously as she leaned around the corner and shot off her blaster several times while letting loose a banshee shriek, making me flinch. Then she pulled back to reload and look me in the eye again, face serene once more. "Be not afraid."
...right. Okay. I came, I saw, I experienced… I'm done. Where's the exit to this ride? I want off.
To Kairi and Merida, Kida said, "The three of you keep going, find the target! Merida and I will keep them busy here and get them off your backs. Go!"
"Roger! Let's get outta here!" Kairi snatched my wrist, pulling me along with her. Merida shot off a few final blasts down the hallway behind us to help the other Princesses before dashing after us. I took one last look back to see Kida and Moana locked in a heated laser battle with our opponents before I lost sight of them as we took a sharp turn down a new corridor.
We hadn't been running for long when a tiny, red vertical slash lit up in the upper right corner of my visor. Huh… so these things had some kind of display built into them? But what did it-
The overhead speakers let out a long, resounding beep followed by that female announcer voice again, "Red combatant derezzed."
"Yes! We drew first blood! Take that, Organization trash!" Kairi crowed happily.
Ah, so the display was showing me a sort of… death count? I guess? I don't even know. There was a lot going on and I was just struggling to stay sane and-
"Freeze!" a new voice abruptly shouted.
So I did.
I froze.
Because, I mean, that's what you're supposed to do when someone yells that at you, right?
Apparently not. At least, not when you're playing laser tag.
"What are you- ugh, get down here!" Kairi was suddenly yanking me to the ground where she and Merida had dove for cover behind a low barrier just as I heard more blaster shots going off, presumably aimed right where I had just been standing like a deer caught in the headlights. Shaking her head at me, Kairi sighed, "Never fall for that. It's the oldest trick in the laser tag book. Vexen tries it every. Damn. Year."
As enemy fire abruptly died down, presumably so they could reload, Merida sprung up to her feet and released a torrent of zaps from her gun, roaring, "Choke on my laser, ye gutless, lily-livered bawbags!"
"Yeah! What she said!" Kairi popped up from our hiding spot as well to blast off a barrage herself.
Not wanting to feel left out and just now remembering I was in fact holding a gun that I'd all but forgotten about since the match started, I squeezed my eyes shut, lifted said gun up above the barricade and pulled the trigger, blindly firing several shots into the fray and hoping for the best.
Woo, look at me. I'm helping.
As my two teammates ducked back down to reload, Merida shouted, "Don't think I didn't see ye skulking behind that pylon, ye namby-pamby, scone-guzzling twat! Best get running with your tail tucked between those toothpicks ye call legs cuz we got ye outnumbered three to two!"
"My my, that does sound pretty grim for us, doesn't it?" a male, distinctly British voice called back. "But maybe the odds are more in our favor than you realize. By my count, we're the ones who have you outmanned four to three."
Merida and Kairi exchanged a look. Then Kairi scoffed, "You're bluffing!"
"Maybe… then again, maybe not… do you really want to roll the dice and risk it?"
Now Kairi lowered her voice so only we could hear her, "Definitely bluffing. Merida, let's go see if we can sneak around and get the drop on 'em." She then glanced towards me. "Stay here. I'll call out when it's safe for you to follow."
I blanched. "But-"
"You'll be fine, trust me. Just stay down, keep your back to this barricade, point your gun that way," she nodded towards the corridor we'd come from, "and pull the trigger if anything so much as moves. The advantage is yours from this position. We'll make it quick, so just keep your head down and wait for my signal." And with that, the two of them slipped off into the shadows and I quickly lost sight of them.
So I did as I was told. I stayed on the ground, knees hugged to my chest as I aimed my blaster and waited. There was a slight tremor to my fingers. The sound of blood rushing in my ears made it hard to hear much else.
Gosh, this was really just… so much fun.
It felt like an absolute eternity, but it was probably only seconds before I heard the fighting break out from beyond the barrier I was using for cover. Sounded like the girls had found them, as their maniacal laughter mingled with the digital blasts filling the air. Then Kairi was yelling, "We got 'em on the run! C'mon, Elsa!"
Jerking at the sound of my name, I scrambled to stand only to catch my foot on something and crash back down to the floor hard.
Ow.
Elsa, Queen of Grace and Dexterity.
Picking myself back up and dusting off the knees of my leggings, I ran towards where I'd heard her voice coming from…
...only to find no one there.
The area was completely empty except for me.
Fudge, they'd probably gone chasing after Vexen and that British guy, thinking I was right behind them. Which I would have been if I hadn't tripped over my own two friggin' feet. Worst still, I had no clue where they'd gone and three different archways to choose from.
Now what, oh Nimble One?
...should I just wait here and hope they come back for me? That'd probably be the smartest call. Better than blindly picking a direction to run off in and getting myself even more lost.
Several far-off blasts from behind me made me wince.
...then again, I was standing out in the open and an easy target. Maybe it would be better to just select a path, start running, and hope the next person I came across would be one of my teammates. But now, how to choose which way to go?
Eeny… meeny… miny…
More laser fire went off from behind, this time closer and making my heart leap up into my throat.
Screw it, that one, just go!
I didn't even know which hallway I'd picked, I just took off and didn't look back. My feet propelled me forward, not hesitating whenever new forks in the road appeared. I'd just take a turn on impulse and keep going. A left here, a right there, and another right. Far too soon however, I was puffing for breath. I couldn't keep this pace up, I needed a break.
As I slowed to a walk, sweating and chest heaving, I held my gun up at the ready. I was jumpy as I crept along now, twitching at every distant hollar, laugh, or laser burst. Something rattled behind me and I gasped, spinning on my heel and jerking my blaster around to point at… nothing. I narrowed my eyes and kept my weapon aimed behind me as I started inching backwards, heart jackhammering and breathing shallow.
If anyone was back there, they certainly weren't going to get the jump on me! No sir! I was vigilant. My eyes were keen, like that of a hawk! No one was going to be sneaking up on me, nuh-uh, not today, not-
"Pssssst."
The sudden low noise in my ear sent a chill running up my spine, making me yelp and nearly drop my gun. My hands desperately fumbled it for a second before catching it at last and I whipped around to target-
"Lea?!" I squeaked out.
Quite valiantly, I might add.
He'd already leapt back to put some space between us with his own weapon trained on the target over my heart.
So there we were. Locked in a mortal standoff. Our fated clash to the death would soon be upon us. You could all but hear the-
"You're holding your gun backwards, ya know," he said flatly, eyelids drooping.
...so I was. Heh… oopsie. I hastily corrected it, almost dropping it again before managing to direct the barrel at Lea instead of myself.
Now where was I...? Ah, that's right!
So there we were. Locked in a mortal standoff. Our fated clash to the death would soon be upon us. You could all but hear that whistling tune that plays in cowboy movies right before a pair of desperados have a shootout. Only one of us would be walking away the victor here.
...was it wrong that I was starting to relax and feel comforted by Lea's presence?
Yes. Yes it was. He was the enemy! And I had a job to do! To be fair, that job had only just been to play decoy while somebody else took him out. But seeing as how I was the only one here, looks like I'd just been promoted to executioner.
But now, how to get that killing blow? It wasn't just as simple as shooting. I could see the way he was warily watching me. I knew the second I started to squeeze my trigger finger, Lea'd be dodging out of the line of fire and then it'd be curtains for me. I had to catch him off guard first, distract him somehow or-
Ah-ha! This was it! The moment we'd all been waiting for! It was my time to shine!
Alright, feminine wiles… go!
...aaaaaany time now.
Hmmm… nothing.
Alright, you're up, groove thang. Care to take a crack at it?
...I'll take your silence as a no.
Well, fudge. Now what?
...wait! Hold on… something was possibly stirring…
Yes, I think I might be feeling a feminine wile coming on!
Oh yeah. This was definitely it. Get ready, here it comes…
I clicked my tongue and winked at him.
Nailed it.
Lea blinked at me. Then he snerked and choked back a laugh, shaking his head, "What was that?"
I hesitated, shifting my feet awkwardly. "...my, uh... my feminine wiles?"
Now he spluttered, struggling to keep his gun pointed at me. "El. Sugar-darlin'. Honey-boo. I adore you, you know I do. I worship the very ground you walk on and think you're smart, gorgeous, perfect and God's gift to all mankind. But babe… you wouldn't know a feminine wile if one came right up to you and bit you on the nose."
My spine snapped straight and I blushed. "I would too! I… I have feminine wiles!"
"Uh-huh, sure ya do. By the way," he pointed at a spot behind me, "what's that?"
I rolled my eyes at him, "You really expect me to fall for-"
In the blink of an eye, he'd kicked my blaster out of my hands and sent it clattering to the ground.
Huh. Guess he didn't even need me to fall for it. Apparently it was enough for me to just be irked at him for thinking me so easily tricked.
Crud, he was way better at this whole distraction thing than I was.
"Say goodnight, babydoll," he smirked, aiming his weapon at the target on my chest once again. I held my breath, screwed my eyes shut, twisted my face into a grimace, balled my hands at my sides and waited. Any second now, my target would vibrate and beep, announcing I'd been hit and taken out.
...only nothing was happening.
Why was nothing happening?
Slowly, I creaked one eye open. Lea was still standing there, still with his gun pointed at me… but for some reason, he hadn't pulled the trigger yet. Gone was the smug look on his face, now replaced with a tiny, sour frown. He grit his teeth angrily, his blaster wavering slightly before he lowered it and growled, "Goddamnit!" Then he ducked down and snatched my gun up off the floor, holstering it into the waistband of his pants at his hip.
I cocked my head at him. "Lea? What are you-"
That's as far as I got before he was then picking me up by the waist and flopping me over his shoulder like a rag doll. With one hand maintaining a grip on my legs to keep me secure while still holding his weapon in the other, he took off running.
I grabbed at the back of his shirt to prop myself up and turned my head so I could yell at him, "Just what exactly do you think you're doing?!"
He didn't break stride, just kept speeding straight ahead. "What's it look like I'm doing? I'm taking you hostage!"
"But that's not how the game is played!" I snapped back, making a grab for a metal bar sticking out of one of the walls as we rushed past, my fingers latching on.
He stumbled and nearly toppled over backwards, but caught himself. "Shit! Leggo, you lil..." he pried my fingers free before taking off again. "And I can play the game however I damn well like! Deal with it!"
Huffing out a grumbling breath, I just hung my head and let myself be carried off to wherever it was that he was taking me.
Turned out to be the Organization's HQ. I mean, that was my best guess anyway by the look of it, considering how similar it was to the Princess's HQ. The only difference was there were nothing but glowing red lines decorating every surface in here instead of blue.
"Now what?" I heard a voice unhappily mutter. Sounded like Larxene but I couldn't see her to verify, not with ninety percent of my vision being filled up by Lea's upside down backside and the other ten percent taken up by a lovely view of the floor.
"Whaddya mean, now what? What are you guys still doing in here?" Lea asked as he slid me off his shoulder and unceremoniously plopped me down onto one of the benches that lined the inside of the HQ's walls. I started to stand back up, but Lea narrowed his eyes at me and held a finger up in front of my face, "Ah-Ah!"
I sighed through my nose but stayed put, crossing my arms and slouching down into my seat.
Now that I could see the rest of the room better, I was able to confirm that it was indeed Larxene who'd spoken, with Marluxia in here as well. Larxene quirked an eyebrow at me but apparently decided not to comment just yet, instead opting to answer Lea's question. "We're trying to drag this dumb loser off his lazy ass and get him out into the fight," she ground out through her teeth, pointing at-
Oh! Apparently Demyx was in here too! Almost didn't spot him cowering behind that column over there.
Lea groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Crap, this again? He does this every damn year! We seriously need to stop recruiting him!"
"That's what I keep saying!" Demyx piped up. Or rather, his voice did. The guy himself remained in hiding.
"Dude. Why do you bother signing up every year if you don't even wanna play?" Lea shook his head.
"Because Larxene always threatens to taze me until my nose lights up brighter than Rudolph's if I don't," he whimpered, just barely poking his head out now. Then he seemed to spot me for the first time. "Oh! Hey Elsa!" he waved cheerily.
"Hi Demyx," I mumbled, returning a halfhearted wave myself.
Larxene slammed the sole of her boot against the column, making him squeak and hide again. She snarled, "This fuckwit's actually a halfway decent player whenever we finally manage to chase the damn baby out of his hidey-hole and-"
"Lea! There you are!" Roxas suddenly came barreling in through one of the doors, his sneakers skidding to a stop as he doubled over, wheezing for breath. "We've been looking everywhere for you!"
Xion was hot on his heels, stumbling to a halt beside him and huffing, "You shouldn't have run off on your own like that! Why'd you come back- oh, hey there, Elsa!" she blinked at me in surprise, tilting her head slightly. "What are you doing here?"
Marluxia settled his cool gaze on me, "Yes… why indeed?"
Larxene pulled a face and spat, "Ugh, Firecracker! Please tell me you didn't sneak back here so you could make out with your little girlfriend! You seriously need to stop thinking below the belt all the time!"
"Agreed," Marluxia nodded with a frown. "You should learn to show some decorum. Xemnas will be most displeased when he finds out you were squandering precious game time to nurture your budding romance."
Shaking his head and rapidly waving his hands back and forth in front of him, Lea said, "Guys, guys, it's not- Ah!" he exclaimed the last syllable in warning to me as I tried to get up again to tiptoe off. Placing a hand on my shoulder and pushing me back down firmly into my seat, he addressed the others again, "It's not like that! I just-"
"We don't have time for this!" Xion cut in. "Why is half our team just chilling back here at the base? Get all your butts out there before everyone else gets slaughtered!"
Lea batted his hand through the air, "It's fine, Xigbar's out there! That psycho could take out the whole other team solo with one hand tied behind his back!"
As if on cue, two blue slashes suddenly lit up in the upper left corner of my visor opposite of the red one from earlier. Overhead, that synthesized female voice announced, "Blue combatant derezzed," twice, one for each mark.
"See?" Lea pointed up towards the speakers triumphantly.
"Wait…" Roxas's brow furrowed. "...those were the first two kills our team's gotten… meaning…" he was eyeing me now.
"Son of a… she's not dead yet?! Firecracker, you dumbass!" Larxene hissed, whipping her blaster up and aiming it at me.
Lea was quick to jump between her and me, his hands shooting up in a placating gesture, "Woah now, easy there!"
Not lowering her weapon, she yelled, "The hell do you think you're doing, bringing her back here alive?! Just shoot her already!"
"C'mon, give her a break, it's her first time playing!" Lea argued back. "I just wanna make sure she has a good time! She can't do that if she gets eliminated right out the damn gate."
Larxene made a noise of disgust in her throat. "You are seriously whipped, numbnuts. What'd she do to get you to fold like a wet paper towel, just bat her lashes and pout and go," she poked a finger into her cheek and mockingly cooed, "pwease don't shoot me, I'm just a poor, defenseless widdle girl!"
My shoulders tensed and I snapped, "I most certainly did not-"
"Butt out, Princess! This is Organization business," Larxene growled.
Roxas sniggered as he flumped down beside me on the bench, "Ignore her, she's just cranky."
"Yeah, we lurve you," Xion sat down on my other side, beaming and making a heart with her hands.
Lea was rubbing the back of his head with his gun. "Look, I just wanted her to have fun, is that so wrong?"
A scoff erupted from Larxene. "Yeah, sure, cuz getting taken hostage is so much fun!"
"More fun than being dead in the first five minutes!"
She was glaring down at his hip now, something having caught her eye there apparently. "Wait a minute, is that…? For fuck's sake, you brought her gun too, bonehead?! The hell is the matter with you, are you trying to get us all shot?!"
Rolling his eyes, Lea brushed it off, "Relax, I won't let her get her hands back on it. I just didn't want it to get lost or totally busted and for them to charge her with some bullshit replacement fee for the thing. And trust me: me taking her hostage is a good thing."
Larxene fixed him with a dull stare. "...I think your brain is what's lost or totally busted."
"No, hear me out!" He tossed a hand in my direction, "El is valuable to the Princesses and they know she hasn't been eliminated yet. Once they realize we got her prisoner, they're gonna make stupid moves trying to get her back. They'll be easy pickings!"
"It would seem to me that you're the one making stupid moves," Marluxia deadpanned.
Lea snapped his fingers and tapped his nose, "Exactly! That's why the Princesses'll want her back! To make sure she stays in the game and messing with my head! But if we keep her here and alive, then I'm less likely to screw up while the Princesses keep tripping all over themselves trynta to rescue her! It's a win-win!"
The silence stretched for a bit. Then Larxene sidestepped so she could point her blaster at me again, "I'm just gonna shoot her."
As Lea moved to block her again, Marluxia placed a hand on her weapon and gently pushed it down. "No, let's hold off. His plan, ridiculous as it may be, holds some merit. Let's see how it plays out."
Larxene wrinkled her nose and gaped. "You have got to be shitting me." However, Marluxia's stern look brooked no argument. Curling her lip with a tch, she grumbled, "Fine, whatever. But you!" She marched up to Lea, stabbing her finger into his chest several times, "This is your dumb idea, so your stupid ass gets to be the one to watch her!"
"Lea has so just earned himself a date with Larxene's taser after the match," Xion whispered with a giggle.
Roxas snerked under his breath as he looked to me, "Hope you like your boyfriends with enough electricity coursing through 'em to power a small toaster oven."
"What are you two twerps snickering about?!" Larxene turned her wrath on the pair of them now and they both yelped. "Get off your asses, get out there and bring me those Princesses' heads on pikes or don't come back all!" They leapt up to their feet and bolted out of there as if their lives depended on it. Which, let's face it… they very well might've.
Now Larxene's dark scowl zeroed in on the column that Demyx was using for cover as she snarled, "And you!" A terrified squeak could be heard from beyond the pillar. Muttering a long string of curse words, Larxene stomped over and disappeared behind it as well. Then there was a high-pitched scream before Demyx tore out of the base like a bat out of hell. Re-emerging and dusting her hands together, Larxene smirked with a satisfied sigh, "I do so love being part of a team. The feeling of encouraging and uplifting my fellow players can be so rewarding."
Retrieving her blaster from where she'd tucked it into the top of her pants, she glanced to Marluxia and jerked her chin towards one of the doorways. "Now let's go snuff out some Princesses!" However, as she was moving past Lea, she stopped to narrow her eyes at him. "...swear to god, Firecracker, if we lose because of your bullshit here, I'll-"
"Yeah, yeah, my head will be the one on a pike, I get it! Will ya just beat it already?" Lea lazily shooed her away with his gun.
She glowered but said nothing more, simply stepped outside the door and waited for Marluxia. As for Marluxia himself, he walked over to Lea and fixed him with a hard stare. "I trust when the proper time comes, you won't hesitate to pull the trigger," he told him, shooting a meaningful look my way out of the corner of his eye.
"Not for a heartbeat," Lea waved a dismissive hand. Marluxia squinted at him. "What, I won't! I hate losing just as much as you do, Mr Bubble Yum!"
If Marluxia felt reassured, he didn't show it. Regardless, he faced me now. "No hard feelings, of course. See you at rehearsal tomorrow."
"...looking forward to it," I muttered back as he slipped out the doorway to join Larxene, the two of them stealthily sprinting off.
Now that it was just down to the two of us, Lea glanced towards me with a tiny frown. Then he looked away and readied his weapon, poising it in front of him. He began patrolling from one HQ door to the next, keeping an eye out for any foolhardy, would-be rescuers.
The minutes slowly ticked by. Save for the occasional announcement whenever another player had been derezzed, the silence was absolute. Were this any other time, Lea would probably be cuddling up close to me and delightedly chatting my ear off. But not now. Not while there was a laser tag game to be won. Apparently, laser tag was very serious business. At least, if his expression and posture as he stood guard right now were any indicators, that is.
After a time, I released a low sigh. If anyone was trying to come save me, they were certainly taking their sweet time about it. I felt restless. My muscles were stiff from sitting still for so long. So, I gave a small stretch and began to rise to my feet.
In a flash, Lea had his gun's crosshairs centered on me. "Hey, hey, hey! Plop that cute lil butt of yours back down, Missy!" he ordered, gesturing the barrel of his blaster down towards where I'd been seated.
I hitched my chin. "The bench is hard and uncomfortable. Just let me stand and stretch my legs for a min-" I took a step forward and I winced, a soft hiss escaping me. "Ah, my ankle!"
He blinked, then his eyelids drooped. "Please, that lame ol' trick? Nice try, but I wasn't born yesterday."
"It's not a trick, I think I'm really hurt!" I huffed. Then setting my lips into a grim line, I gingerly tested putting some weight on it. "...you must have smacked it against something while you were manhandling me earlier and- ow!" My ankle gave out and I stumbled forward.
Lea instinctively moved to catch me, his arms wrapping around my waist while mine latched around his neck for support. But then his eyes were immediately suspicious and his empty hand clasped protectively over where he had my weapon holstered.
I rolled my eyes at him with a scoff. "You actually think I would go to this much trouble if I were only faking it? All just to get my stupid gun back? Seriously?"
He continued watching me skeptically, his hand remaining steadfast over my blaster. "...maybe, maybe not. Jury's still out."
"Damn it, Lea, this really hurts!" I snapped at him.
I felt his muscles relax somewhat as he puffed out a breath, bringing his free hand up to ruffle at his hair now. "Then why ya standing on it, dummy? Go on, sit back down."
"No," I turned my head to one side with a tiny hmph. "I told you already, that bench is uncomfortable."
"Whaddya expect, it's a bench. You'll live," he laughed incredulously. Then he was carefully shifting me around, mindful of my ankle as he took a seat himself to demonstrate. "See? Perfectly fine. Now c'mon El, please, if you would just-"
I finally sat back down.
Right on his lap.
I felt him tense beneath me. Then he was shaking his head with a chuckle as he brought up his hand to tweak my nose, "Cheeky."
Slipping my arms back around his neck once more, I drew in a deep breath before giving a pleased little exhale. "Ah, much more comfy."
"I would hope so," one corner of his lips twitched up. Then he was setting his gun down on the bench beside him and readjusting me in his lap a bit so he could more easily reach down, gently feeling my ankle. I flinched, sucking in a little breath. His eyebrows knit together, "Sorry… hm, doesn't seem to be any swelling, so probably isn't sprained or fractured. Guessing it just got banged pretty good. Probably only gonna leave a nasty bruise."
My eyes crinkled as I watched him. "...it's sweet."
"What's that?" he asked absently, still cautiously inspecting my ankle.
"The way you always take care of me." I leaned in closer to murmur into his ear, "It's sweet."
Lea stiffened, then cleared his throat as he straightened back up in his seat and laughed sheepishly. "What can I say? Gotta make sure my lady's taken care of!"
I gave him a warm smile before resting my head on his shoulder, my arms hugging more tightly around him as I sighed against his neck with a soft, "Hmmm."
He shivered and echoed a low, "Hm?"
"Nothing really." My fingers began to lightly toy with the hairs at the nape of his neck as my lips brushed along the side of his throat. "Just trying to think of how I might show you my gratitude later."
"...well, I might have a… few suggestions…" There was a gruffness to his voice now as I felt his thumb idly stroking along the curve of my hip.
"Mm, I'd love to hear them," I hummed a quiet laugh as I trailed my hand down his chest, avoiding the target strapped to it as I went. Then I lifted my head once more to meet his gaze while using my other hand to press a fingertip to his lips, silencing him before he could answer me. "But first… told ya."
His eyes hooded as he playfully nipped at my finger before ducking his head down to press kisses to my jawline as he whispered, "Told me what?"
"That I have feminine wiles."
His whole body went rigid. "Motherfu-"
Too late. I already had my gun back, barrel directly up against the target over his heart. I pulled the trigger and-
"Red combatant derezzed."
"Ha!" I dropped the blaster and shot up to my feet, hopping up and down in triumph on my fine, healthy, and one hundred percent pain-free ankles. Lea groaned and slumped down in his seat, thumping the back of his head against the wall a few times. His moping only made victory taste all the more sweet. Giggling, I lightly clapped my hands a few times before holding my palms together, pressing my fingertips to my huge grin.
My tiny victory party of one was interrupted however as someone else suddenly came charging inside the base. I turned and gasped as their feet came to a screeching stop, revealing the person to be none other than that weirdo with the eyepatch.
He took one look at me, both eyebrows shooting up his forehead. "What the…?" Then with a bemused smirk, he aimed his weapon at me, "Oh-ho no, not on my watch. As if!" He fired and, well… as you could probably guess…
"Blue combatant derezzed."
With a self-satisfied snerk, Eyepatch twirled his gun and took off running once more, disappearing out the door opposite the one he'd come in through.
...well then.
My stint as a legendary, professional laser tag assassin supreme may have been brief, but it had been undeniably glorious.
"That was a cheap, dirty underhanded trick ya pulled," Lea said, pulling my attention back to him as he stood up and removed his helmet, shaking out his crimson spikes. Then his lips stretched into a crooked smile, "One I completely saw through, by the way."
I arched an eyebrow at him, biting back a small grin. "Oh really?"
Tucking his helmet under his arm, he then reached out to undo mine as well. "Mm-hm! You were as transparent as a soap bubble."
"If I was being so obvious, why'd you play along then?" I challenged, crossing my arms.
"Rather, the question you should be asking is... why wouldn't I play along?" He ruffled my bangs before offering me my helmet with a wink. "Never have I more thoroughly enjoyed being proven so totally wrong."
I felt heat creeping up the back of my neck as I took it from him, averting my gaze with a dignified sniff. "I don't believe you. I don't think you saw through it at all."
He snorted, scratching a finger behind his ear. "Alright, ya got me. Can't blame a guy for trynta salvage what lil dignity he has left! But damn, El, you've been holding out on me. Where've you been hiding those lil moves of yours this whole time?"
Rocking on my heels a bit, I mulled over it for a second. Honestly, I'd even surprised myself a bit there. Only reason I hadn't been blushing furiously the whole time was because I wasn't really here to fraternize - it'd just been a means to an end. I'd had a job to do. Finally, I gave a tiny shrug, "Suppose I just needed the right incentive."
"That incentive being making me eat crow on this most holy of battlefields that is laser tag."
I smiled brightly. "Bingo."
He crinkled his eyes at me, then sighed and dragged a hand across the nape of his neck. "Shit, the rest of the team is gonna be out for my blood when they find out 'bout this. We're talking torches, pitchforks, the whole nine damn yards." However, he was next flashing me that dimple of his as he retrieved both our weapons, holding them together in one hand. "Still, was definitely worth it for this lil revelation. I'm telling ya, never woulda thought you had it in you, especially not while we were entertaining an audience no less."
"An audience?" I repeated, frowning. Then I slowly shook my head, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Did you forget?" A half grin tugged at his lips as he pointed up at a corner of the ceiling where one of the arena's cameras could be spotted. "Big Brother's watching."
Just about every last drop of blood drained out of my face.
Fudge, the cameras! All over this damn arena! Feeding a live stream of events as they unfolded here back to anyone watching in the store front! And there had been a lot of people there, meaning…
...every single one of them had just had a front row seat for watching me seduce my boyfriend.
Bolting behind Lea to hide from the camera, my arms clutched around his waist as I buried my now roasting face into his back.
Oh, what I wouldn't give for the cold, sweet embrace of death right about now.
Laughing softly, Lea patted his hand over mine, weaving our fingers together but not removing it from where I still had it clasped against his stomach. "C'mon, we're not s'posed to linger this long after getting KO'd. Let's find a way out. Your adoring fans await."
Remaining firmly latched onto him from behind, I staggered as he began to lead us towards the nearest exit. "I don't think I can face any of them ever again," I muffled into his back. "I am never going to live this down."
"Well, we can hole up in one of the equipment rooms between matches, but that'll only buy you a lil time. Sooner or later they'll hafta kick us out when this place closes up for the night." As he pushed open a door beneath a glowing green EXIT sign, he glanced back at me over his shoulder with a smirk. "But you got bigger problems to worry 'bout now, boo."
I glanced back up at him, gnawing on my bottom lip. "...what do you mean?"
"Now that I know you've got feminine wiles, I'm gonna expect you to start using 'em more."

Author's Notes: It's the face-off of the century, the battle you've all been waiting for… Organization XIII vs The Princesses of Hearts! Gosh, now I want fanart of all of them decked out in laser tag gear and glaring each other down! Could look hella badass! Anyhoo, I think this chapter might have been even more jam-packed with references than that 7th Heaven chapter xD I went with OG Org as you can tell cuz, one, they're my fave incarnation of the Org, and two, let's face it… old man Xehanort would probably break a hip playing laser tag xD And of course, all the official Princesses of Hearts made an appearance, plus a few extras, any of which would get my vote for being one of the mystery New 7 Hearts that were never revealed in KH3! Minor fun fact: If you didn't recognize them, Xemnas's and Saïx's lines were direct battle quotes from the video games. I would've liked to have done the same for Vexen, but I couldn't figure out how to make any of his battle quotes fit, so I took the lame, cheesy way out by just having him shout "Freeze!" xD As for which team won this first match… Princesses finally managed to break the Organization's winning streak, woo! Yeah, Lea barely survived the wrath of his fellow teammates after their crushing defeat xD  I was originally trying to figure out a way to fit this laser tag chapter into the main story, but decided in the end it would be more fun if Lea and Elsa were already a couple for it - certainly had more fun with the chapter's ending that way at least ;D
Thanks for reading, I super duper appreciate it! And an extra BIG thank you to those of you who’ve liked, reblogged, and followed so far, seeing those lil notifications always brings the biggest, goofiest smile to my face!
See ya next week for the next bonus chapter, which will have a lil more substance than this one xD Your clue phrase this time is... hair dye. What could that possibly have to do with next chapter?! Stay tuned and find out!

how to make friends and influence people
March 2021
Your name is Karkat Vantas, and you probably should have thought this through better.
Picture a thin blonde girl sitting by a phone, being watched by a woman in navy blue scrubs. The girl wears light blue hospital issue pants, and a white T-shirt with a pink cat on it. Her frustration shows clear as day, from her posture to her facial expressions. She yanks the phone off the hook and punches in a number with such speed that the gesture must be semi-unconscious. She puts the phone to her ear, waits a few moments, then swears loudly. Then, in a tense voice, she begins to speak.
“Mommy, this is the fourth time I’ve called you today… Please call me back when you can.”
Her bobbed hair bounces as she turns to face you.
“Oh!” she exclaims. “Did you want to use the phone?”
Yeah, yeah you did, to call your unceasing nag of a brother. He’s the reason you’re here in the first place, since he’s the fucker who called 911 on you. Therefore, he should have to bring you clothes. You grab the phone and dial Kankri’s number. He does not answer. You listen to his voicemail and grow progressively angrier. You mentally curse him and his next seven generations.
The weird blonde girl watches your frustration with a hint of amusement. This will not do.
“What the fuck are you looking at?” you ask her. She blinks, shrugs, and walks away.
Your name is Karkat Vantas, you’ve been in the loony bin for ten minutes, and you’re already pissed off. Score one, you.
Apparently you arrived just in time for morning meds, so all the fucking loonies are out on parade, including the blonde girl, who gives you a friendly wave. You scowl. Nobody has told you where to put your shit yet, or deigned to assign you a room. Not that you have much shit to put anywhere. Just the clothes you arrived in the psych ER with - a black turtleneck, and black sweatpants. They took away your shoes and gave you a pair of hospital socks.
Allegedly this is one of the nicest hospitals in the area. Go fucking figure.
Finally, after what feels like six hundred years, an orderly tells you that you’re in room 1224, on the men’s side.
Wait, there are sides? The psych ER wasn’t organized according to gender; you were stuck there with two homeless people (one man and one woman), an alcoholic, and some guy who had overdosed on alprazolam. Whatever, though. You shuffle your ass over to room 1224, which is about thirty feet away. You drop your stuff in the closet, take one look at your snoring roommate, and go back outside.
The blonde girl - having taken her medication - dashes back to the phone, dials a number, waits a moment, and then bursts into tears.
Great. You should have never written that note. Now you’re stuck in here with this chick. You contemplate trying to comfort her, and decide that you’d probably suck at it.
Another person saunters past her and stops. She’s a few shades lighter than you, and has these long Poetic Justice type box braids. Her green dress looks like it’s been immaculately pressed. She tugs the hem down to fully cover her thighs. She also has three eyebrow rings, a lip ring, and a full face of makeup. You didn’t know staff could have piercings. She offers the blonde girl a hug. You really didn’t know staff could do that.
This is not what you were expecting from the psychiatric ward.
“Roxy, why are you crying again?” the woman asks. Roxy sniffles and swipes at her eyes with the back of her arm.
“I had a nightmare and my mom won’t answer the phone,” she responds. “Where is she?”
“Asleep, most likely. It’s awfully early, isn’t it?”
“I guess so,” Roxy admits. She gives the woman a weak smile. “Did you go for vitals yet?”
The woman sighs and nods. “Yeah. 92/53. They’re telling me to drink more water since my pressure’s so low and my heart rate’s so high.”
Wait. That woman must be a patient.
She doesn’t seem like the type. She’s too authoritative, too poised.
You take a look at her again, scanning her for some sign of insanity. Maybe a few marks on her brown arms where the razor slipped. You search her carefully, not trying to seem like you are.
She has one thin, deep, healing scar down each wrist. Well, then.
She manages to pick up on you, because at that moment she turns to face you. She smiles.
“You must be the new admission to the unit,” she begins in a cool, pleasant tone. You’re reminded of a receptionist.
“Uh, yeah.”
She offers you her hand to shake. “I’m Porrim. Porrim Maryam.”
“Karkat,” you reply.
--
Trying to sleep in your room is an absolute trip. It goes the way everything in your life has been going, absolutely fuckawful.
“I won’t take it!” a high-pitched voice exclaims, all of a sudden, jolting you out of your light sleep. “Water you even playing at?!”
Oh, how you can empathize with that sentiment, furious as you are with whomever voiced it. Fuck the psych ward. With distinction. You peer out of your room, and watch a black girl in a purple onesie sprint down the hallway, yelling all the while.
Your roommate, who had heretofore been snoring with his mouth open fish-wide, starts to mutter things at the ceiling.
“Nurse Esther musta tried to give Clozapine to Fef again,” he says. “What an idiot.”
He looks at you and blinks. Fully registers your presence. He props himself up on one hand and stares some more.
“You must be my new roommate,” he says. “I think. Are you?”
You roll your eyes. “No, I’m just here for shits and giggles.”
He snorts and turns on the light. Apparently he’s got the front part of his blond hair dyed purple. You’d never do anything like that personally, but it looks okay on him. He gropes for his glasses and crams them onto his face.
“Christ, you look awful,” he says.  
Where the fuck does he get off saying that?
“You don’t look so hot yourself.”
Your roommate curses and shakes his head.
“Nah, I didn’t mean it like that,” he goes on. “I mean, you look like you haven’t slept in days.”
“I haven’t,” you reply, thinking of the time leading up to your suicide attempt. Not even an attempt, really. More like… a contemplation. A contemplation that led you to telling Kankri you’d rather jump in front of the train than send one more month in your parents’ house,
“Well, you’ll get lots of sleep here. There’s not much else to do. The name’s Eridan, by the way. Welcome to 3 East.”
“Thanks,” you say. “I’m Karkat.”
“Nice to meet you.”
A few minutes later, someone starts knocking on your door. Eridan groans.
“If it’s Roxy, tell her to come back in half an hour. I got ECT today. I need my beauty sleep.”
“The crying girl?” you ask.
“Was she on the phone while she was crying?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s Rox, then. She calls her mom every four hours and then flips a shit if she doesn’t answer,” Eridan says. “Ever heard of Rose Lalonde?”
Before you started transitioning a couple years ago, they had you in the women’s unit for a week. Dr. Lalonde saw you twice over that seven day period and was probably the only clinician who reliably used your pronouns.
“The psychologist for the unit downstairs?” you ask.
“Exactly,” Eridan says. “That’s Roxy’s mom.”
Well, fuck.
---
A couple of days later, there’s a new admission. Kid looks comprised of a bunch of coat-hangers and duct tape, all angles and gangle. He walks up to use the phone, without realizing there’s a line for the phone already behind him. Gamzee just rolls with it, even though he was next in line. This dude is clearly a massive douche. He’s only on for a couple of seconds though - you assume whomever he was calling didn’t pick up.
When the good ugly fairy was handing out ugly, she must have dumped in almost as much for him as she did for you. He is by far the skinniest dude you have ever seen. And being that everyone in your major in college was hopped up on amphetamines, you have seen some truly thin people. If a strong breeze hit him, he’d fly clear to Canada.
Roxy asks him for his name, and when he replies, “Thollukth Captor”, with the universe’s thickest lisp, you can’t help yourself. A snort escapes your mouth before you can take it back. The dude looks at you with a narrow-eyed suspicion, and you raise your eyebrows at him in response. How does he talk like that and not expect mockery?
“And uh...” Roxy trails off helplessly. “How do you spell that, exactly?”
“What’re you, with regithtration, or thomething?”
“I was just curious.”
You won’t laugh, Karkat. You swear it. You thwear it, to use this man’s parlance. Unfortunately, though, you’re grinning. His eyes alight on you, and he gives you a quick, “the fuck are you looking at, aththhole?”
“Call me an asshole again and I’ll cram those glasses so far up your ass they’ll need a colorectal exam to find them.”

G is For... (A to Z part 7)
Tumblr media
A/N: It’s been for freaking ever but I finally got my new laptop!!! So here is the next part of A to Z, which I finished Monday but since my laptop decided to die I couldn’t post. This part is different from the other parts so read the warnings. 
Warnings: Safe-wording, sub luke, group sex, tears, slight bondage
Group Sex
It’s been a week from hell. Not that Sophie knows that. Luke’s barely seen her. The only times he has was when he would crawl into bed after hours at the radio station. She always wakes up a little when he snuggles against her, pressing a kiss to his curls before falling asleep again. He’s sitting in a studio, rerecording an add that had gotten corrupted somehow. There are three empty coffee cups on the desk despite the ‘no drinks allowed’ sign outside the studio. 
He’d much rather bang his head against the desk until he passes out than redo this add. Luke takes another sip, his coffee went cold a while ago but he doesn’t have the energy to care. His phone buzzes, it’s Sophie asking if she should go to bed or pick him up. Luke wants to tell her to pick him up, he’s so fucking tired. The urge to not bother her almost wins but he ends up asking her to come. 
He’s on the brink of falling asleep when the door opens. “Lu, time to go.” Sophie presses a kiss to his head and takes his headphones off. 
“I’m almost done.” Sophie looks at his screen, she doesn’t understand most of what she sees but knows he’s no where close to being done. 
“Baby, it’s almost three in the morning.” His eyes flick to the clock at the bottom of the screen. Luke grumbles a little but saves the project and gets up. “Go clock out, I’ll clean up.” He shuffles out, sleepily laying against the wall once he’s done. Sophie squeezes his arm when she’s done, leading him to the car. 
The next thing Luke knows he’s waking up in bed. Sophie’s gone, a sticky note on his bedside table letting him know she’s at work. He slumps back onto the pillows and tries to fall back asleep. 
It doesn’t work. Luke’s phone starts to ring not even five minutes later. Resisting the urge to scream, Luke picks up. It’s his boss asking him to cover someone’s shift. And for some godforsaken reason Luke says yes. 
Sierra’s there when he gets home. Luke whines as he drops his bag and kicks his shoes off. As he trudges to the bedroom Sophie gives him a look. “I hope you’re not planning on leaving that mess for me to clean up.” Her tone makes his back go straight. Luke turns around, cheeks burning as Sierra giggles. “Well?” Sophie’s nails tap against the counter impatiently. 
“Sorry Miss.” Luke shuffles back to the doorway and cleans up the mess he made. As he goes to collapse in bed Sophie stops him by grabbing his face and kissing him. “May I go to bed Miss?” The submission comes easily. Sophie’s gaze softens and she presses a much softer kiss to his lips. 
“Go get some rest baby.” Luke quietly thanks her, not even getting undressed before falling asleep. 
When he wakes up he knows Sophie took care of him. He’s no longer in his jeans or socks and is tucked under the covers with a throw blanket over his shoulders. Luke stays snuggled in bed for a little longer. 
Maybe a little too long because the door opens to their bedroom and Sophie slips inside. Luke watches her through half closed eyes as she sits down next to him. She smiles and runs her fingers through his hair. “Did you get a good night's sleep?” He nods, still wrapped around his pillow. “That’s good baby boy.” Sophie keeps her voice soft, still running her fingers through his hair. 
“Is Sierra still here?” 
“She is,” Luke hums, eyes fluttering closed again. “Ah, ah, ah, no going back to sleep. Remember what we said we were doing today?” That makes Luke’s eyes snap back open. Sophie’s grip in his hair tightens slightly. Luke swallows, eyes staring widely up at Sophie. This week made him completely forget that they were having a threesome today. “I’m gonna let you get ready and have something to eat. Meet us in the guest room.” Sophie presses a kiss to his lips before leaving. 
As Luke gets ready he can feel his heart starts to race. He’s still exhausted from this week. But maybe he needs this. Needs Sophie to ground him by putting him in his place. Luke slowly walks to their guest room, only in his boxers. He opens the door, finding Sophie sitting on the bed braiding Sierra’s hair. They don’t notice his entrance, Sierra seems to be in total bliss while Sophie fixes her hair. Luke watches them, a small smile forming on his face. “Are you just gonna stand there all day?” Sophie smirks while she ties off one of Sierra’s braids. Luke shuffles over and sits next to Sophie. She’s still focused on braiding Sierra’s hair. “Take your boxers off.” Luke slowly shimmies out of his underwear while Sophie ties off the braid. Sophie stretches her arms above her head, the hem of his Guns & Roses shirt rising to reveal the lacy edge of her panties. 
He sits back, his legs spread slightly while Sierra crawls up the bed. “Hey pretty boy,” she sits between his legs, cradling his face in her hands before pressing her lips to his. Luke sighs as she pulls away. Sierra’s kisses are different than Sophie’s, softer and guiding where Sophie’s are hard and dizzying. His eyes dart to Sophie, almost missing her take her shirt off. 
“Those are new,” Luke remarks before he can stop himself. Sophie laughs lightly, moving towards him to kiss to his cheek. She presses herself to his back, nipping at his neck. 
“You wanna touch Sierra baby boy?” Hands snake around his waist, lightly trailing down his stomach and to his cock. “Go ahead and touch her, but you gotta tell her how many times you got off to her body first.” Luke’s breath catches in his throat while Sophie strokes his cock. 
Sierra’s eyes glimmer in amusement at his embarrassment. “Three,” he burns red all the way to the tip of his ears. She giggles and kisses him, her tongue slipping into his mouth. When Sierra pulls away she takes hold of his wrist, guiding it into her baby blue panties. Luke brushes his fingers over her clit before sliding two into her. She hums in pleasure when he pumps them, taking off her bra with one hand. Luke watches Sierra drop it off the side of the bed. 
With his other hand he grabs her breast, thumbing over her nipple. Sophie sucks a hickey into his skin. Luke tenses for a second, staring up at Sierra. He’s not sure if he likes this. Luke pushes the feeling to the side, hoping it’ll dissipate as they continue. Sophie’s hand pinches his nipple and tightens around his cock. A moan bubbles out of his mouth and eases the tension in his shoulders. “He’s so noisy,” Sierra giggles as she grinds against his fingers. She guides his head towards her other breast, his lips wrapping around her nipple and sucking. Her hand stays in his curls, keeping him against her. Luke curls his fingers inside of Sierra to hear her moan. 
The sound echos through him, sending shivers down his body. Sophie’s hand twists around him before squeezing his balls. Luke moans, his eyes fluttering closed. “You’re making Sierra do all the work baby, I don’t think that’s very fair.” 
“Sorry Miss,” he mumbles. 
“Take your fingers out.” Sophie moves away from his back, leaving his cock heavy between his legs. He’s still kept in place by the hand in his hair. When Sophie returns she pulls his hands behind his back. They’re tied tightly together and he’s pulled away from Sierra. 
Sophie pulls Sierra down the bed and the two whisper between each other. They giggle and then Sophie lets Sierra pull her into a kiss. Luke’s eyebrows shoot up as he watches Sophie get pushed to the bed. Sierra hovers over her, turning her head towards Luke. “I’m gonna make her cum and then I get to have my way with you.” She presses a chaste kiss to Sophie’s lips, trailing them down her body until her lips are at the edge of Sophie’s panties. As Luke watches his body tenses up again. He exhales heavily to try and relax but it doesn’t work. 
Sierra slips Sophie’s underwear down her legs and flings it onto the floor. The whole room is silent. Luke’s not used to it, Sophie’s almost always talking to him when they do this. He goes to whine as he watches Sierra dip her head between Sophie’s legs. But Sophie’s reaction stops him. She arches off the bed, eyes closing in pleasure as a moan leaves her. He’s never gotten her to react like that so quickly. Luke shuffles on the bed, flexing his hands in the rope. Despite the moans filling the air his cock softens. 
Maybe he’s being greedy wanting all the attention on him. Sophie spends so much time focused on him it’s only fair she gets attention as well. But he’s not feeling any better. He feels more exhausted than ever as he sits tied up and naked on the bed. “Sophie,” he quietly murmurs her name but doesn’t catch her attention. She’s so caught up in the pleasure Sierra’s causing her carmel eyes have wrenched closed. Sophie pulls on Sierra’s braids to get her attention. Sierra quirks her lips into a smirk, her hands sliding up Sophie’s body to grip her hips. She pulls Sophie against her thigh, making her grind on it. Sophie falls apart quickly, almost as quickly as Luke realizes they’ve done this before. 
His heart drops into his stomach. He bites his lip and watches the fondness radiate off of them. Luke closes his eyes and shakes his head. Exhaustion crashes against him, the sudden surge of it causing him to tear up. He’s grounded but in all the wrong ways. Luke shudders and tries to blink away the tears. “Sophie,” his voice is tight, she looks up at him, mouth dropping as a tear dribbles down his cheek, “red.” 
The reaction isn’t instant like he thought it would be. He hears Sophie gasp as he hangs his head. The bed creaks and he feels scissors slide against the rope. He flexes his hands before wrapping his arms around his knees. Sophie’s hands are checking him over, trying to see if he’s physically injured. “Luke, Luke darling what’s wrong?” She tips his chin up and wipes his tears away. He hiccups, lip trembling. 
“I-I don’t know,” he lets Sophie uncurl him from the ball he turned himself into. Her eyes are gentle, concern filling them as more tears slip down his cheeks. “I can’t, I can’t do this.” Sophie shushes him again and wipes away more of his tears. 
“That’s okay, it’s okay sweetheart. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. Shhh baby, it’s okay.” Sierra wraps a blanket around his shoulders, her touch makes him jump. She backs off, sliding a robe on before leaving the room. Sophie pulls the blanket around him tighter so he doesn’t feel so exposed. Tears are still steadily flowing while Sophie tries to wipe them away. As her thumbs brush against his cheeks Sophie can see the dark circles under his eyes. Everything hits her like a bag of bricks. “Oh Lu, have you gotten any rest?” Luke sniffles, eyes darting up to meet Sophie’s briefly before he shakes his head. “Alright then, lets go back to our room and you can get some sleep. Come on sweetheart,” she leads him off the bed, letting him put his boxers back on before they go into their room. 
Luke’s still teary eyed when she gets him tucked into bed, his head starting to have a dull ache. Sophie presses a kiss to his forehead, lightly dabbing a cold washcloth on his cheeks to soothe the blotchiness. His eyes track her as she slowly puts it back in their bathroom. “Soph-Sophie?” Luke’s voice cracks as she turns around. “Please don’t leave me.” Tears slip out against his will. She hurries back over, sliding into bed to pull Luke flush against her side. 
“I’m not going anywhere.” Thin fingers tighten in her shirt while Luke buries himself in her. “Get some sleep baby.” 
“You’ll be here when I wake up?” The insecurity in his quiet question makes her heart crack. 
“I’ll be here when you wake up.” 
Luke has nightmares the whole time he’s asleep. Sophie doesn’t sleep at all, not that she needs to, it’s the middle of the day. Instead she watches Luke toss and turn, settling when she puts her hand on his back. There’s a knock on the door, Sierra’s head popping in a second later. “Can I come in?” 
“Of course,” she wanders in, sliding next to Sophie on the bed. 
“How’s he doing?” 
“He’s exhausted, he’s been working so hard this week. I should have realized how wiped out he was.” Sierra tips her head on Sophie’s shoulder, her hand trailing to Luke’s curls. He nuzzles deeper into Sophie’s thigh, sighing contentedly. “I feel like shit.” 
“Why Soph, this isn’t your fault.” 
“I should have noticed that he wasn’t doing well. If I had noticed he wouldn’t have safeworded.” 
“Honey, it’s okay, you’ll take care of him. He just needs some time to regain his energy.” Luke moves around in bed, the nightmares seeming to have gone. “I’m going to go home now okay, so you and Luke can have a chat alone. Take care of your boy.” With that she leaves, closing the door softly. Sophie lets Luke sleep for as long as he needs. Finally able to get some real rest after the nightmares have passed. 
When his eyes open again they flit around the room before landing on Sophie. “You stayed,” he genuinely sounds surprised while his fingers trail along her thigh. 
“Of course I did Lu, why wouldn’t I?” He shrugs, taking a deep breath before looking into Sophie’s eyes.
“Thought you would want to be with Sierra.” Luke curls back around Sophie’s thigh, cheek resting against it. 
“What do you mean Luke? Why would I want to be with Sierra?” 
“You have more fun with her than you do with me.” A small tear escapes, trailing over his nose and landing on Sophie’s thigh. 
“Luke you’re not making sense.” He sits up, sniffing and wiping away the tears. 
“She barely touched you and made you moan louder than I’ve been able to in that time.” He sniffles again, wrapping his arms around his chest. “So why aren’t you with her?” The question makes Sophie’s mouth drop open. 
“Luke,” she sits on her heels, going to cup his face. He jerks away. “Luke, I love you. I want to be with you, not Sierra. She’s my best friend.” 
“Who you’ve had sex with.” Sophie doesn’t show the surprise on her face.
“When I was in college, because we trusted each other to respect the other’s boundaries.” Sophie puts her hands on her thighs. “Why is this bothering you?” 
“It’s not because she’s a woman, I know you’re bi and that’s never bothered me. But she-why would you ever want to be with me when you have someone like Sierra right there?” Luke rubs his eyes as more tears slip out. 
“Luke,” Sophie reaches forward to touch him, he lets her. “Luke darling, I love you endlessly. And I love Sierra too but she’s only my friend. I’m not with you just for sex, I’m with you because you make me immeasurably happy.” She kisses him, just a quick brush of their lips together. Luke still looks puzzled when she pulls away. “What’s wrong sweetheart?”
“Why did you pick Sierra?”
“I trust her, she’s seen you in a scene before so I wasn’t worried she’d disrespect your comfort for her pleasure.” Luke hums while Sophie runs her fingers through his sleep mussed curls. “We’re not going to do anything like that again okay? If you don’t enjoy it then there’s no point.” While her fingers run through his hair Luke pulls her close so he can rest his head on her shoulder.  
“I think I like being the only one pleasing you like that.” Sophie strokes the back of his neck while he rests against her. 
“Alright sweetheart I understand. Don’t worry I’m all yours.” She can feel Luke’s smile against her skin. He presses a small kiss to her neck. 
“They can look, don’t want them to touch.” Luke breathes out. 
Sophie giggles quietly, her hands drifting down Luke’s body until they firmly squeeze his thighs. All Luke can do is gasp lightly as she flips him on his back. His thighs are still spread open as Sophie teases him by leaning forward until their lips are almost touching. “I think it’s time you get some special attention baby boy.” Luke tries to chase her lips for a kiss. He stops when Sophie squeezes him through his boxers. 
“Oh,” Luke’s heart rate gets faster, “yes please.”
