"you think i'm jealous? jealousy is not in my vocabulary, babe."
"mhmm, sure. you're not jealous and the sky isn't blue," you fire back without hesitation. what started as a petty argument was beginning to boil your blood a little too hot for comfort, and you couldn't pinpoint why. thoughts poked around in your mind of your boyfriend's arrogance, the need to be the best, and simultaneous fear that you were going to leave him. but, in true satoru fashion, he chose to be an enigma instead of communicating.
"i'm literally the strongest being in existence," he argues and you catch your eye twitch in the rearview mirror. "what would i have to be jealous about?" a part of you wanted to just slam on the brakes to see if he'd go flying forward but decided against it because of the other occupants in the car. as much as they tried to act like they weren't listening, the two kids in the back weren't very good at hiding their snickers of amusement. "like, really. i'm super hot, i'm super strong, i've got the voice of an angel-"
"i'm just saying, satoru. your behavior back there was...weird. i didn't like it," you mutter.
"and i didn't like how that guy was looking at you like you were some kind of dessert in a pastry shop," he counters. "i just...it's fine. you don't get it." your stomach churns unexpectedly at his tone and there's a sharp pain in your heart that you don't anticipate. you know he didn't mean it, but the sternness of his voice was sounding more hostile the longer you talked with him. it made your face hot, not in that butterflies and daydreams kind of way that he normally made you feel. this feeling was foreign and intense, a sensation that made you want to curl up and hide. it was the same feeling as when you were about to exorcise a curse.
when you were about to fight.
"what's that supposed to mean?" the atmosphere of the car changes in an instant and you can feel the effect your five words have on every occupant of the vehicle. megumi and tsumiki's gazes dart upward, eyeing you nervously while a robotic stiffness shoots through satoru's body. "what do i not get?"
"it's nothing," he grits through his teeth, but you're too angry to back down.
"it's not nothing, so spill it," you say and his jaw clenches. "why are you so jealous of some dude at the grocery store?"
"i said i wasn't jealous."
"your actions are saying otherwise." you start relying more on your instinct to drive you back towards jujutsu tech because your brain was starting to shut down.
"what, you don't believe me? why don't you just trust me?" he's on the verge of shouting at you. he never shouts at you. it terrifies you and it makes the two kids in the second row shift uneasily in their car seats. you don't know what else to say; your mind was preoccupied with not crashing the car and trying not to cry from the stifling pressure in the car.
"i-i don't like you right now," you force out. it's the wrong thing to say and you can sense satoru snap before he does.
"please, be my guest. go with your little cashier if you like him so much better," he spits and your body moves before you can register what it's doing. one minute, you're driving down the street toward the school; the next, you're turning into the nearest mini-mall parking lot, putting the car in park, and slamming the driver's side door behind you. you don't know where else to go, but all you know is that you can't stay in that car with satoru when he's like that. he'd never do anything to hurt megs or tsumiki, but being on the road in such a compromised mental state wasn't safe for any of you. so, you start walking.
the sun was nearly down and you knew it would be faster if you just sucked it up and drove the rest of the way, but something about this petty little fight was bringing up memories you didn't want to rehash. after you make it past the first stoplight, the telltale hum of your car's engine pulls up next to you, coming to a stop while you continue in the direction of the school. punching the hazards button, he jumps from the driver's seat onto the sidewalk to call after you, but you shake your head.
"babe. babe, please get back in the car," he pleads and you keep walking. "i'm sorry. please, come back in the car. i'll drive us the rest of the way and we can talk."
"it's fine," you state firmly without looking at him, "i'll walk back."
"i made a mistake. please, please come back in the car." he gently grabs your wrist to stop you and you shoot him a brutal glare from the corner of your eye, seeing him deflate in real-time. "please." smaller footsteps approach from behind him, and your senses snap back into place when you see that megumi and tsumiki followed satoru out of the car.
"he was stupid," tsumiki says and her brother nods in agreement, "really stupid."
"and if you're walking back to school, we're walking with you," megumi declares and the sentiment is enough to finally get you back in the passenger seat, staring out the window for the few agonizing minutes remaining of the drive. once you've turned on the tv and stuck a frozen dinner in the oven for the two children, you make your way to the bathroom to wash your face of its still-burning sensation. you've just finished drying your face in front of the mirror when he trudges in like a kicked puppy. you feel him before you see him, his arms wrapping around your torso and his face disappearing into your neck.
"i'm so sorry," he whispers and you swallow a thick lump in your throat. "i'm so sorry for what i said and what i did and how i made you feel. you were right; i was jealous. just...seeing you live out such a mundane scene as buying groceries reminded me that you could have anyone you wanted." you turn to face him with a puzzled look.
"what do you mean, anyone i wanted?"
"you could be with anyone you wanted," he says quietly. "anyone but me."
"oh," is all you can choke out before you pull him as close as humanly possible, holding him so tightly that he'd be a fool to think you would ever want anyone else.
"you could have any life you wanted," his voice breaks against your skin. "not one where our best friends die before they reach 20 or disappear off the face of the planet. you don't need to have this one. you don't need to stay with me."
"has it ever occurred to you, satoru," you murmur, "that maybe i want to stay with you? forever and after that?"
"why would you do that to yourself?"
"loving you is not a burden, gojo satoru. i would find you in any lifetime and i would love you in every single one," you vow and your chest aches when he sniffles softly.
"i don't deserve you. i really don't."
"maybe you do, maybe you don't, but that's not up to me to decide. so, it doesn't matter because i'm staying."
"you'll stay?"
"forever and after that."

This Love Is Just For Show
It was a slow day at your job. Even though it was a Thursday morning and it was usually really busy at this time, the number of customers coming through the door was significantly lower than any other morning, but you were thankful that you didn’t have to do a million things at the time this early.
You worked at a coffee shop and have worked there for a while, so you were used to the crazy job and by this point, you remembered most of the recurring customers, but you always waited for one in particular.
You heard the little bell that indicated that a customer had entered the coffee shop, so you quickly finished arranging the coffee cups behind the counter before turning to greet your customer. You fought the smile that threatened to creep its way onto your face when you saw who it was, and gave him a nonchalant expression instead.
“Hey Mike”
“Hi” He greeted you back with a smile.
“You want your usual, right?”
“So no small talk today, I suppose” Mike leant his forearms on the counter.
“Sorry, it’s kinda busy back here”
He looked around at the almost empty café “I’m not gonna steal more of your time then. I’ll have my usual”
You took a medium cup and used it to cover your smile, marking up his exact coffee order and writing his name at the bottom.
“You know, my offer to go out for coffee still stands. Maybe at a place you don’t have to make it”
You giggle as you put down the cup, typing a few words into the computer in front of you “You’re very sweet Mike but we’ve been through this, I don’t-”
“Date customers, I know” He finished your sentence.
“Look at that, you do remember. And yet, you keep on asking”
“Just hoping you’ll change your mind, I guess”
You shook your head “Not gonna happen”
“Alright, I’ll stop” He took out his wallet and paid for his drink “I’ll just try again in a month or two. Thanks”
He immediately walked to the other end of the counter to wait for his drink, constantly eying you while you took someone else’s order. You were looking his way too, but way more discreetly than he was.
When he finally got his coffee, he thanked your coworker and walked towards the door, turning his head around for a moment to face you “Bye, I’ll see you tomorrow”
Your eyes lingered on the glass doors after he left. You thought he was attractive, sweet, funny and just nice to have around, but you didn’t know whether you liked him like that or not but sometimes you thought you’d like to find out and go out with him, but you couldn’t do it. The real reason you had rejected every single one of his invitations wasn’t the one you gave him every time he asked, it was because you got out of a messy relationship 6 months ago and you weren’t ready to commit to anything, not yet.
Hours later your shift finally came to an end and you were ready to get out of there, you had a lot to do after all. You were in a hurry, so after taking all of your things you made your way to your car and drove to the grocery store.
After finding a parking spot you entered the massive building, guiding the shopping cart in front of you. You were so wrapped up in your thoughts looking down at your phone as you checked your shopping list, you didn’t notice the familiar face quickly approaching you.
“Y/N?” Your head snapped up as you immediately recognised the voice. You forced a smile while trying really hard to keep your eyes from widening.
“Nick, hi” The shock of seeing your ex-boyfriend for the first time since the breakup was more evident than you had intended.
“It’s been so long, how have you been?”
“Good, things are good” An awkward silence took over your conversation as quickly as it had started. The two of you smiled at each other politely, discomfort present in both of your eyes “How about you?”
“Amazing, actually” You nodded at him in response, unsure of what to say next. Thankfully, someone else joined the conversation. A girl you recognised as one of Nick’s friends from when you were dating him.
“Y/N! It’s been so long” She approached you for a hug, which you politely accepted.
“You remember Emily” Nick said as you pulled away.
“Of course, hi!”
“This is so funny, we were just talking about you last night” Emily said, standing closer to Nick and slowly wrapping her arm around him.
“You were? Why’s that?”
“She suggested we invite you to our engagement party this weekend”
Engagement?
“Oh my god, you guys are engaged” If you weren’t in shock before, you certainly were now “That’s amazing!” You wrapped your arms around them and pulled both of them into a hug, hoping this would prove to him that you really were happy for them. Even though that was far from the truth.
You pulled away after a few seconds, building up the perfect fake smile “I know it’s a bit of a shocker since Nick and I were just friends when you guys were dating, but I hope it’s not weird or anything”
“Please, not at all. I- I’m really happy for you guys”
“Thank you” Emily held your hand momentarily before dropping it and taking it back to her financé’s arm “So, are you coming?”
You thought about it for a moment. You really didn’t wanna go, but you thought that if you showed up you would show them how okay you were with their engagement. Even though you weren’t, since you broke up with Nick just six months ago and out of nowhere he’s engaged now, and you… you hadn’t even gone on a single date since then.
“Of course I’ll be there”
“Great! Should we save an extra seat for a special someone?” Emily asked with a wink.
You could feel your face burn as you thought of the lack of a love life, but your mouth was faster than your brain “Yes, I’ll bring my boyfriend with me”
Fuck.
“Oh” You hear Nick whisper.
“I mean I’ll ask him if he can make it, but you know, he gets really busy sometimes, so-”
“Okay, well I’ll have Nick text you the details later but I guess I’ll see you on Saturday!” Emily pulled you in for another hug, and Nick just waved at you as the both walked away from you.
You were left standing there alone, feeling like a complete loser. You didn’t have feelings for him or anything, and you wished you didn’t care about his engagement but you just couldn't help it.
Your relationship with him was complicated, and your breakup was so messy it took a while to pick up the pieces, and the main reason for that was because he swore he would never want to get married. After being together for a couple of years you moved in together for a few months, leading you to think he’d propose eventually, but he said that was the most you’d get from him. Now six months later he’s engaged to one of his friends…
You barely had the energy to finish with your grocery shopping. You were cursing yourself for saying you would go to their engagement party and on top of everything making up a fake boyfriend. Why couldn’t you just say you were busy? Any other answer would have been better than that.
You went home with a lot on your mind, and Nick’s text with all the details for Saturday just made it worse. You let out a loud sigh as you collapsed on your bed, going through your contacts list to see if you could find someone who would be willing to be your fake boyfriend for a night.
You quickly gave up as you realised how crazy it would be to make such a request, so maybe it would be better if you came up with an excuse and said you wouldn’t be able to make it.
Unless…
You typed Mike’s name on your contacts, hoping you’d find his number there. He gave it to you a couple of months ago, written on a napkin after going to the coffee shop for a week straight. You were almost crossing your fingers, urging that your past self saved it, but you assumed you got rid of it since it wasn’t on your phone.
You sigh again, too tired to think of more solutions.
⋆ ★ ⋆ ★
The next day wasn’t any better. The party that was taking place the next day was flooding your mind and unfortunately for you, the possibilities of ending up looking like a loser in front of everyone were high.
Everyone around you seemed to notice something was off, but with the busy morning that kept everyone doing something they didn’t have time to ask you the reason. That was definitely a relief, you would hate to admit what your current problem was.
Customers kept coming and that almost made you forget about the whole fake boyfriend thing, until you saw Mike approach the counter with a big smile.
“Hi” You shyly smile back at him.
“Hi, I’ll just have my usual”
You nodded as you grabbed a medium cup. You were debating in your mind whether or not it would be a good idea to ask him for help, but the simple thought of those words leaving your mouth made your face turn a bright red.
“And I’ll also have a cupcake”
You looked at him with furrowed brows. He had been going there every day for at least a couple of months and he never tried something new, so him making an addition to his order took you by surprise “Oh, what’s the occasion?”
“Buying a few extra seconds, I guess” He replied like it was no big deal. He took out his wallet ready to pay for his order, smiling when he noticed your blushed face.
If he was willing to buy a cupcake just to talk to you for a little longer, maybe he would be down to go to a party with you and pretend to be your boyfriend for a night. After all, he had been begging you for a date nearly everyday since the day you met him, and that would count as one, right?
You looked at the cupcake tray that was sitting next to you, naming the cupcake flavours while you kept a collected expression despite the heat rushing to your cheeks as you wrote your phone number down on his cup, right next to his name.
“Uh- we have vanilla, chocolate, blueberry-”
“Which one is your favourite?” He interrupted you.
“Red velvet with cream cheese frosting”
“I’ll have that one”
You tried to suppress your smile as you reached for the cupcake, blushing a little harder when your hand brushed his “Enjoy it”
“I will, or I guess I’ll let you know what I think on Monday” You looked down and grabbed his receipt, keeping your eyes fixated on the screen in front of you when you handed it to him “Thanks” Mike said, and you panicked when he started to walk away, and once again your mouth acted on instinct.
“I get off at 4” You spit out, making him stop and take a step back as you cursed yourself for how pathetic you sounded.
“Huh?”
“Today, I- I get off at 4” You repeated, thinking of something else to say “You can call me and- and maybe I’ll see you later”
A smile appeared on his face “Yeah, sure. I’ll give you a call” He nodded quickly, but stopped when he realised “I’d love to have your number, though”
“On your cup”
His smile grew bigger, and you could almost notice his tinted cheeks “I’ll talk to you later, then”
You nodded as he walked away, pushing away your embarrassment as you fixed your face to attend a new customer. You tried to stay focused on the order, but the cheeky smile from your coworker made you blush again.
“Shut up” You said, rolling your eyes at her.
The rest of the day went by painfully slowly. You were dying to check your phone to see if he had called you or at least texted you, but it was so busy that you didn’t have the time for that.
At the same time you were hoping he’d take his time reaching out to you. You felt guilty dragging him into your little show and you knew if you went out with him you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from asking him.
When your lunch break came you literally ran to the back to get your phone, your heart skipping a beat when you read the last notification.
Unknown: Hey, it’s Mike
You saved his contact right away, and then took a little too long to think of a response, writing and deleting the message a few times before finally sending one back.
You: This is Y/N!
You rolled your eyes at your own message, and only a few seconds later your phone started ringing, his name showing on the tiny screen. You froze for a moment, but rushed to answer when it rang for the second time.
“Hi” You said in a shy tone.
“Hi. Sorry for calling but it’s way easier than texting”
“Don’t worry, I agree” You let out a little giggle before continuing “I guess I should apologise for earlier today”
“What do you mean?”
“You know, writing my number on your cup-”
“No need to apologise” He interrupted you “I’ve been meaning to ask you, what changed?”
‘I ran into my now engaged ex boyfriend and made up a fake boyfriend so I desperately need your help’ you thought to yourself, but of course you couldn’t say that, not yet anyway.
“I, uh- I thought about your offer, and coffee sounds nice”
“Well… I know a place, they have the best red velvet cupcakes-”
“Definitely not here” You stop him before you let out another laugh, even though you knew he was joking “We can meet somewhere else, what time do you get off?”
“Oh, so you really did mean tonight” Mike sighs loudly, taking a hand to his hair as he tries to think of someone who could babysit his sister.
You squeeze your eyes shut, trying to bury your embarrassment at how desperate you sounded “Sorry, we can try some other time-”
“No” He’s quick to cut you off “I just need to find a babysitter for Abby-”
“Who’s Abby?”
“My little sister, but the babysitter leaves at 6”
“Right, I understand” You try to think of a solution without sounding more desperate than you already were, but maybe it was for the best if you didn’t see him tonight.
“I’m gonna call her and ask if she can stay with Abby for a little longer tonight”
That makes you feel bad, thinking about his little sister stuck with the babysitter just because of your big mouth. You start to come to your senses, there was no way you could lead him on like that.
You let out a loud breath before saying “Mike, actually I think it’s better if we leave it for another time”
He stays silent for a moment, but then finally replies “Uh- yeah, that’s okay”
“Sorry, it’s just-” You stop when the clock on the wall tells you your lunchtime is over “I have to go but I’ll see you on Monday”
You hand up the phone immediately, the guilt coming back to you for a different reason.
You spend the rest of your shift thinking of excuses for your absence to the party, knowing that that’s what you should have done from the beginning. When you leave you’re so caught up on your thoughts you almost don’t recognise the person waiting for you outside.
“Mike?”
“Hi, yeah- uh sorry” He put his hands on his pockets, looking down at the ground “You sounded a little weird on the phone earlier”
“I had to go back to work, sorry”
“Right, I know… so, about the coffee-”
“Y/N!” Mike is interrupted by a voice you hated to recognize. You closed your eyes momentarily as you let out a breath, mentally preparing yourself to talk to her again “We have to stop running into each other like this”
“Emily, so nice to see you again” You say with a convincing smile.
“You too” She inspects your outfit and the building behind you, a smirk appearing on her face when her eyes landed on you again “I see you’re still working at the café”
You don’t say anything but your blood starts to boil, but at the same time you’re trying hard to hide your embarrassment.
Mike looked at you as soon as those words left her mouth, trying to read your expression, but when you didn’t say anything he decided to jump in “Hi, I’m Mike”
“Oh hi, I’m Emily” They shook hands and she carefully examined him almost entirely, and Mike dropped it after just a moment “I used to be friends with Y/N. Well, with her ex boyfriend, but he’s now my fiancé” She said as she showed off her ring, and the two of you simply nodded “Oh… you must be Y/N’s boyfriend”
Emily’s eyes fixated on you, giving you the same intimidating look she always gave you, making you break and fall into a moment of weakness “Yes” You replied, and she immediately turned to Mike to give him a hug.
“You should’ve said that before, she was telling us about you last night”
He was looking at you with a million questions as his eyes gave you the most confused look you had ever seen on anyone. You mouthed the word ‘Sorry’ as they pulled away.
“You guys are coming to the party tomorrow, right?”
“We can’t make it, sorry” You grabbed Mike’s arm and pulled him closer to you, giving him an apologetic smile.
“Oh well that’s a shame”
“You never said anything about a party, baby” He looked at you, amusement building in his face.
You were sure your face has never been more red than it is right now, you truly didn’t know what to say to that “Uh I- I’m sorry, I guess I forgot”
“We’ll be there”
“Mike, what are you doing?” You whisper to him.
“Great! I can’t wait to see you guys tomorrow”
She starts to walk away as she waves you goodbye, and as soon as she leaves you turn to face Mike, your apology already leaving your mouth “I’m sorry, Mike I’m so sorry, I don’t know what got into me-”
“Who was that?” He interrupted you “And most importantly, why did you say I was your boyfriend”
“That was my… I used to know her when I was dating my ex boyfriend” You explained, scratching your head as you tried to think of the answer to his next question “I don’t know why I said that. I panicked but of course that’s no excuse, I shouldn't have said that, I’m so sorry”
“What did she mean you told them about me last night?”
“I didn’t, I swear I didn’t” You simply reply, but he urges you to continue “I ran into them and they invited me to their engagement party, which already was so crazy cause I didn’t think Nick would ever get married, but he would give that to Emily I guess” You start to ramble, but stop when you realise you’ve said too much “She asked me if I would bring someone with me and I don’t know why but I said yes”
“Does that have anything to do with you giving me your number today?”
“No, of course not” You rushed to reply “Look, I’m sorry I got you into this. It’s stupid and it’s immature, you don’t have to worry about her thinking you’re my boyfriend, I promise I’ll call her”
You stared for a moment, waiting for him to accept your apology, although you’d understand if he didn’t.
“I can come to the party with you”
“What?”
“I mean she’s not very nice, why give her the satisfaction? Plus, I already promised we’d be there”
“No, Mike you don’t have to do that-”
“I tried asking you on a date for weeks, I’m not gonna let it go to waste now, even if it’s not real”
You stop to think for a little too long. If he was down then what was the problem? Asking him to do that for you did cross your mind anyway, so now that he was volunteering himself you shouldn't feel as guilty, right?
“It’s just going to be for one night, and knowing Emily there will be so much free food and drinks, you just need to stay with me and maybe hold my hand a few times”
"Deal"

The words on the deed to the drug den in town are all forming into one - you’re not actually sure they’re in the English language anymore. You’ve been staring at the pages for what feels like a full week, even if you’d only spread them out for reading on your desk this morning. You don’t know what to do. There is, of course, the obvious option, of walking right up to their front door and asking what the hell is going on, but the more you dig, the more you think there’s something bigger going on here.
You pour over your notes, trying to make sense of it all. It was nothing to do with Tyler Johnson, but it had something to do with his family, that was for sure. There’s no way that this whole thing would have been brushed under the rug and dealt with by the police saying ‘oh well, we don’t know’ if there wasn’t something incriminating behind it all. You tried not to think about that possibly meaning your dad was implicated somewhere along the line.
Instead of sitting around and feeling useless, considering the words on the page weren’t leading you anywhere at all, you tidy up your desk, stick your head around your managers door to tell her you were heading out for the story, and you get in your car and drive.
Tumblr media
They lead such dull lives, is all you can really think at this point. The sun is setting and it’s finally starting to cool a little. The thought process had been simple, if you weren’t going to catch them in the act on paper, you would have to catch them in the act for real - whatever that act might be.
You’d started with Tyler’s dad, following behind him as he went about mayoral business, driving from his office to some meeting in town and then back again. You’d waited an hour in the parking lot to see if he moved again, but gave up after a while. Deciding on following Tyler’s brother instead - but he’d been more of the same. You’d found him getting into his car at work once the day was done, driving to the grocery store and then going home. That was it. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Thinking about it, what would you even do if you did find them doing something? Tyler’s brother getting a package handed to him down a dark alley - there’s no way to get any proof, you don’t have a camera, and no-one’s going to believe you against them. The more you sit there, the more you think maybe you should have taken the story at face value, published it and moved on.
You suppose that these kinds of operations take time and patience - two things you were running seriously low on by now. You’re thinking of all the time’s Javi must have needed to do this - sitting around in a car waiting to catch someone doing something and wondered how he’d lasted so long. You weren’t made for this kind of work.
Sighing to yourself, you turn the key in the ignition and head home, trying not to let the frustration bubble over. You just had to wait. Bide your time. Surely somewhere along the line you’d catch someone doing something.
Tumblr media
“You look stressed.”
You look at Javi through your eyelashes, taking a sip from the glass of wine in front of you on the counter. Your parents were taking their two week annual vacation - some place near the coast in Florida. You remember going when you were little, playing in the sand and swimming. They’d invited you this year but now you were older, it didn’t hold quite the same amount of charm as it used to, so you’d opted to stay at home.
The upside to not getting to lounge in the sun for two weeks was definitely this though. Javier Peña, hunched over the hob, sleeves of his shirt rolled up, cooking dinner for you. It was dangerous to think about how domestic it was, but you couldn’t deny how nice it felt. There was no-one to lie to about why you were late home from work for now, no need to rush through whatever it was that the two of you were doing.
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t need to be sorry,” He smiles at you, picking up his beer bottle to drink from, “You want to talk about it?”
You shake your head, “It’s alright, just stuff at work.”
“In all my years of working with journalists,” He speaks, stirring the pot of sauce in front of him, “I don’t think any of them were ever as stressed as you.”
“I just care about my work.”
“So did they,” He counters, picking a strand of spaghetti from the pot to test to see if it’s cooked, “Just trying to say there isn’t a story out there worth getting this worked up over.”
“I appreciate it,” You mumble, “But can we not talk about work?”
He holds his hands up in surrender, focusing his attention on dishing up the food - spaghetti with tomato sauce. It’s simple and you know it’s probably the limit of his cooking ability outside of being able to grill meat on fire, but it’s the thought that counts. You sit at the dining table and eat together, talking about nothing really, just enough to fill the silence. Even though he cooked, he insists on clearing up and packaging the leftovers for you to eat tomorrow.
You sit and watch TV on the couch and when it gets late enough and your head starts to rest on his shoulder, Javi asks if you want to go to bed.
“I do,” You answer, “But not to sleep.”
So he slowly leads you up the stairs and into your room, softly closing the door behind him. You settle yourself under your sheets, pushing them back on the other side for him as he takes off everything he’s wearing apart from his underwear and gets into bed with you. He shuffles you around so your back in pressed to his front, his big hands wandering from your hips up to your chest, where he gently cups one of your tits in his hands over the shirt you’re wearing.
You can feel his mouth trailing kissing up your shoulder until he reaches the delicate skin behind your ear, the tickle of his facial hair there making goosebumps rise on your skin, regardless of how warm it is under your sheets.
“What do you want?” He whispers softly, snaking his free arm under your neck so the side of your face is pillowed against it.
You don’t answer, you just take hold of his wrist, dragging his hand from your chest to the waistband of your shorts. You let his hand go then, feeling his big palm cup you through the material, “Like this?” He asks, teeth nipping at your ear lobe.
“No,” You shake your head, “Under.”
That big hand drags up just a little, fingers finding the waistband again, dipping below this time. He tuts into your ear when he finds you bare, having not bothered with underwear when you’d changed out of your work clothes.
His hand is warm against your skin as it envelops you again, fingers dipping ever so slightly between the folds of your pussy to find you already wet, it doesn’t take much at all when he’s around.
Fingers dragging through the slick, up to circle your clit, he speaks again, “Like this?” He asks, feather-light touches of his fingers making you gasp.
“Y-yeah,” You choke out, “Just like that.”
So that’s what he does - let’s you rest your head against his arm, lazily rolling his finger across that bundle of nerves like he has all the time in the world for making you feel good. It’s slow, the only punctuation to his fingers are the moans he lets out into your ear whenever he pushes his hips against the plush of your ass, his bulge prominent against the clothes that are separating you.
“I want you to come for me,” He whispers gently a little while later, teeth biting gently into the skin of your shoulder, “Can you be a good girl and do that for me?”
You nod your head, unable to speak through the short, sharp gasps that the friction between your legs is drawing out from you. He speeds up a little, lets his finger add more pressure there. He lets you roll your hips, chasing at the high that is just there, coiling in your tummy. Your body starts to shake, thighs clamping down on his hands as he brings you over the edge.
“Fuck yeah,” He rasps into your ear, “So fucking pretty when you come for me, mi querida.”
Through the haze of pleasure, you can feel him rolling you over, pressing your back into the sheets. He’s settling between your thighs, pulling your shorts off altogether, but you don’t want it like this, so you press a palm to his warm chest to stop him.
“I want…” You trail off, “I think I want to be on top.”
You watch his eyebrows raise a little but he doesn’t protest, because of course he doesn’t, he simply lies himself back down on his side of the bed and waits for you. You let yourself straddle his thighs, marvelling just a little at the bulge of his underwear, before you’re hooking your fingers into the waistband to drag them just far enough down his thighs to let his cock spring free, resting on his lower stomach.
Shuffling up his thighs a little, you lower yourself, letting your soaked folds drag across his length whilst your mouth moves up to suckle at the skin of his neck. You can feel his hands on the globes of your ass, helping to drag you up and down his cock.
“Feels good, doesn’t it?” He asks as you moan when the head of his cock brushes against your still-sensitive clit.
You don’t have any words, so you press yourself up, palms against his chest as you lift your hips just enough for him to reach between you, base of his cock fisted in his hand, to nudge at the weeping hole of your cunt. He holds it there for you as you slowly start to sink down onto him, moaning with your head thrown back at the stretch of taking him inside. When you reach the bottom, feeling him sucked right into the depths of you, you stay still, rolling your hips a little, feeling him so deep inside you.
Javi brings his hands to your hips, looking up at you as he guides your movements, slow forwards movements matched with even slower movements backwards, until the two of you are panting together.
You push yourself back, letting your arms fall behind you onto his knees, which have come up to rest against your backside, slowly starting to lift off him until he’s almost all the way out of the tight heat of your cunt, then you slide back down onto him, finding a rhythm of bouncing up and down on his cock.
Javi moves one of his hands from your hips, letting the flat palm run up your stomach, through the valley of your tits to lightly grip at the base of your neck. He doesn’t add any pressure, just holds his hand there, but you can feel the effect it has on you, pussy clenching around his length as you continue to bounce up and down on him.
“Look so fucking pretty like this,” He manages to choke out between moans, “Like you were made to be right here bouncing on my cock.”
“I-I think I’m g-gonna come again.” You hiss, feeling that familiar tightening in your tummy.
“Yeah?” He goads, but not unkindly, “You gonna come around my cock for me?”
To help you get there, Javi starts to thrust up into you, hand still at the base of your neck, hitting into your perfectly on your downward motion to fill you right to your depths, making your orgasm hit you head on. You feel yourself tighten around him, body collapsing forward to rest against his chest as he fucks you through the aftershocks of your climax, gripping onto your ass to keep you spread so he can find his own high, thrusting a handful of times before he’s stilling inside you, spilling himself inside with moans right into your ear.
He slips out of you as he softens, shifting you so you’re led down, both catching your breath.
“Sorry, I should have asked about that.” He mumbles, and it takes you a minute to realise he’s talking about coming inside you.
“It’s okay,” You say, turning your head to smile at him, “Although it does mean I have to go to the bathroom now.”
You drag yourself up onto all fours onto your bed, dragging yourself to the door to cover yourself in your robe before you leave Javi in your room to head to the bathroom.
Tumblr media
He doesn’t know why he does it. In hindsight, it was out of order, but when you close the door behind you, he can’t help himself. He stands up, pulls his underwear back up and puts the rest of his clothes back on. Then he sits down on your edge of the bed and gingerly opens the top drawer of your bedside table.
There’s nothing much of note in there, a few lip balms and an old notebook, but that’s it. He opens the bottom one next, which is much more full, mainly with notebooks and sheets of paper. He knows he shouldn’t, but he reaches in and picks the first up, flicking it open to a random page somewhere in the middle, running his thumb across a loose sheet of paper before his eyes circle in on what the paper actually is.
It’s a newspaper article, reporting on Escobar’s death. When Javi looks underneath the paper there are notes written in your handwriting, detailing parts of the story that are interesting. He flicks to another page, another article about Escobar dying, with more of your handwritten notes. He can feel the panic rising in his chest, threatening to take hold of his throat.
He puts that notebook on the bed, reaches in and picks another up, flicking through to find more of the same - articles about the entire Escobar case, more handwritten notes - some written in red ink that only ever say his name with a question mark, like you’re asking yourself if he was responsible for the ill-reported heroics. Javi is too caught up in flicking through that he forgets about your return, letting you catch him red-handed when you come back through the door.
“What are you doing?” You ask, making him look up.
Your eyes are wide, like you’re shocked to find him with your notebooks in his lap.
“What’s all this?” He asks, instead of answering your question.
You surge forward, grabbing the notebook from his lap, slapping it shut, picking up the other one and then shoving them back in the drawer, “Did you go through my things?” He can tell from your tone that you’re worked up.
“Why do you have all of that?” Javi asks, standing up from the bed to take some steps away from you.
“It’s not what you think.”
“Well then tell me what it is.” He’s getting more annoyed as the moments go past.
“It was for my degree,” You say, shifting from foot-to-foot, “I don’t understand what the problem is?”
“The problem is, it’s all fucking lies!” He runs a hand over his face, more annoyed at himself for shouting at you than anything else, “It’s all fucking lies and you believe it.”
He watches as your face drops, he can see the glassing over of your eyes, “I-” You try to speak, “I’m sorry?” It’s more of an offering, like you don’t know what else to do.
“All of that shit?” He asks, pointing to the now closed drawer, “Fucking propaganda for this country to seem like it had control, when all it fucking did was make everything worse.”
“Javi, please,” You beg now, taking a step towards him with your hands open in surrender, “Why don’t you sit down and take a breath?”
He can feel himself shaking his head, stepping backwards until he can feel the handle of your door, twisting it to open. He thinks he’s saying sorry, telling you that he’s sorry, but he doesn’t know. All he knows is that he has to get out of there and away from you, almost running from the house and into his truck.
It’s not until he’s halfway to home that he can feel that panic take over, pulling over on the side of the road, knuckles turning white as he grips the steering wheel. He takes some deep breaths, trying to understand why his brain has gone from 0-100 so quickly, and all he can think of is that you’re just like everyone else in this damn town, thinking that he was a hero, that he’d played his part properly, correctly, in bringing that bastard down. I’d the wondering about what you’d think of him if you knew what he’d really done, the amount of blood actually on his hands, the fact he wasn’t here there when Murphy shot the bastard.
It’s that feeling of inadequacy that haunt him in bed that night, led against the pillows, other side cold and empty when all he wishes is that he’d stayed, let you curl into him so that he could get at least a few hours of rest. Even though he never stays the night, always leaving you with a press of lips to your head, the small hours of the morning where you’re sleeping against him are the most peaceful he thinks he’s ever had.
So, staring at his ceiling, red numbers from his clock staring him down as the hours pass, all he can think about it what the fuck he’s going to do, how he’s going to explain that this has nothing to do with you and what it had to do with your degree, and everything to do with the way he thinks if you knew exactly what had happened, outside of what the American press has told you, you’d probably hate him.

Series Masterlist
One month later
You stood under the flow from the shower head, letting it soak your skin.
You had gotten used to taking lukewarm showers every morning instead of your preferred scalding hot ones. Eddie couldn’t handle the temperature when it was too high.
But he also couldn’t handle showering without you. He knew how to work the shower, knew what every bottle was for but he still insisted you got into the shower with him to show him.
You didn’t mind.
It was your favorite part of the day, you thought as you wrapped your arms around his lanky body and pressed your face into his chest. His long wet hair cemented to your skin but you didn’t mind.
Eddie caressed your arm, smelling like the new soap you had bought him at the store, like a clean man but also with the scent that you knew as Eddie and it made you want to nuzzle your face into him further.
He whispered something into your ear in his language and it sent goosebumps down your body. You pressed into him further.
It had been a month and you still didn’t understand his language, but he was picking up a few words in English.
After your shower you dried off together and you got dressed for the day. You had already done all the work that needed to be done, all was left for you was having to run into town.
You slipped into your jeans and threw on a t-shirt.
“Beautiful,” Eddie said to you now that his translator was in, a long arm wrapped around your waist.
He could barely keep his hands off of you.
“I have to go to the store,” you said softly as you kissed his jaw.
“Take me with you,” he begged.
He had been asking this a lot lately, not being left alone anytime you had to go somewhere. You felt bad leaving him on the farm but it wasn’t safe for him.
“Eddie, we can’t risk it,” you explained, stepping away from him to put on your socks.
He made a sound like a groan as he followed you and sat beside you on the bed.
“I can wait in the truck,” he begged, making his already large eyes comically larger as he pouted at you.
You sighed, thinking of how it might work. He hadn’t seen much of your world except for the farm and what he had seen on the TV.
“Please,” he added, running a thumb across your cheek.
You sighed. This was probably a bad idea.
“You have to keep your hoodie on and stay in the truck,” you said sternly.
He smiled wide.
“I am so excited to see more of your world.”
Tumblr media
The trip to the grocery store was uneventful.
Eddie stayed true to his word. He stayed in the car, watching people as they walked in and out of the store.
The worst part for him was not being able to help you load the groceries into the truck.
You pulled out of the parking lot and down the roads that led you home.
It was weird to consider your home not just yours any more but also Eddie’s.
Eddie fiddled with the stations, not happy with how low technology your truck was compared to his spaceship.
You had to remind him that earth hadn’t caught up to his planet yet.
Other than that, he enjoyed watching the people and cars, asking you why certain things looked the way it did which of course you didn’t have an answer to.
He thought that the one traffic light in Hawkins was hilarious for some reason.
The radio cut to static before the beginning sounds of Master Of Puppets by Metallica started to play.
Eddie gasped and you nearly slammed on the brakes.
“That’s it!” He yelled.
“What?!” You yelled back, hand over your pounding heart.
“That is the song I heard! The song that led me to you,” Eddie grinned.
“Why the hell was Master of Puppets playing in space?” You asked as Eddie started to sway his head to the music.
You thought back to the day he told you about the music he heard and about the saying ‘Shocking Needle Fool.”
It didn’t make sense.
You looked around, just before you pressed on the brake to freeze at what you noticed you were stopped in front of.
Hawkins Middle School.
Tumblr media
“Wait here,” you said sternly as you got out of the truck.
Had Eddie misheard the broadcast and mistaken ‘shocking needle fool’ for Hawkins Middle School?
You couldn’t think of anything else that made sense.
But why was the middle school broadcasting music into space?
You strolled into the school. It was the middle of summer vacation and the door was unlocked.
Odd.
“Hello?” You called down an empty hallway.
It had felt like it had been forever since you walked these halls. They used to feel so much bigger, scarier.
You paused for a moment about to give up until you heard the sound of arguing outside of a door that you assumed was a closet.
You stepped closer, pressing your ear up to the wooden door.
“No, Lucas, you gotta move it to the left!”
“That is the left!”
“No! The other left!”
“God damnit! Do I need to do everything myself?!”
You listened to young voices arguing. Definitely sounded like middle schoolers that were way too young to be throwing around words like ‘god damnit.”
You opened the door, not bothering to knock.
Four kids surrounded a metal table, all in various stages of shock at you just busting in. They had their hands on a metal device in the center of the table that had wires sticking out of it.
One of them with curly hair gained his wits and threw a jacket over it to hide the device from you, but you had already seen it.
“What the hell is that?” You asked and the kids continued to stare at you wide eyed, like you were going to call their moms and tattle.
“Who the heck are you?” Asked the one with black hair.
“A concerned citizen. Now what is that?” You asked again, using your stern grown up voice.
To their credit, they didn’t back down.
After a tense stare down the shortest one with straight light brown hair cracked first.
“It’s a super radio! It’s supposed to be able to broadcast far away! Dustin made it!” He practically yelled, pointing at the curly haired one.
“What is wrong with you, Will?!” Dustin screeched.
“Everyone, be quiet!” You said loudly, clapping your hands like you were trying to get the attention of kindergartners.
It worked. They all looked at you in silence.
“I’m telling you right now that you need to stop using that thing.”
“And why should we listen to you?”
“For the sake of humanity,” you said dramatically before adding, “Your broadcasts are going into space and it’s leading aliens directly here. To you.” You pointed to each of them. “Next time someone comes in here and crashes your little party it’s going to be either a government agent or a flesh eating alien.”
They stared at you slack jawed as you turned and shut the door behind you, hoping you scared them enough to keep them from leading anymore extraterrestrials to Hawkins.
Tumblr media
You climbed back in the truck with a very confused Eddie.
“The music stopped playing,” he said as you put the truck in gear and started to pull out of the parking lot.
“I’ll buy you a tape with the song on it, okay? That way you can listen to it whenever you want to,” you promised.
You stopped at the stop sign, waiting for a few cars to pass so you could turn to right.
A silver car slowed in front of you and you didn’t realize why until you saw Jason Carver as he made direct eye contact with you and Eddie.
“That’s not good.”

Slut Me Out - Steve Rogers
Tumblr media
Hi hope you enjoy this smutty piece of Steve and Reader! Thank you for reading :)
Steve Rogers x Reader [Smut] Warnings: Smut, blow job, finger fucking and masturbation Word Count: 3.2k
-
You giggled quietly to yourself as you connected your phone to the speakers in the car and waited for Steve to get back into the car. He was putting the grocery cart away after you two went shopping. The song you were loading was “Slut Me Out”, by NLE Choppa aka a very dirty song that went viral on TikTok the other day.
You just had to see his reaction to this song. After seeing his reaction to WAP and a few other dirty songs, you had to know what he’d think of this song.
You instantly pressed play once he got into the car, smiling nonchalantly at him as you turned up the volume. Steve grinned back to you, unaware what you were about to do.
“I love this song, just gonna turn it up a little.” You shrugged to him, still smiling as the first lyric played, “Why you being weird to me?”
“Okay, I look forward to hearing it!” He said, still smiling at you as he pulled his seatbelt on and started to back out of the grocery store parking lot. You bit your lip as the next few lyrics played.
“Aye, rip off my shirt if you love me (love me) Spit in my face when you fuck me (fuck me) Play with my gooch, while you suck me (suck me) Eat the dick like you was ugly.”
You silently laughed hard as you stared at Steve’s reaction. At first, he was bopping his head to the music and then he stopped and gripped the wheel tighter, then a confused expression formed on his face. Then it disappeared as he glanced over at you, realizing you were laughing at him.
“Don’t judge me… what’s a gooch?” He spoke up before he cleared his throat and quickly added, “Wait never mind, I don’t want to know, I think.”
“I mean, hold on, wait Where your friend? Bring your buddy (your buddy) I don't think that you enoughie (enoughie) Her favorite thing to say is, "Cuff me.”
The song continued to play in the background as your laughter rose to a volume, “It’s uh, the area between your ass and your dick.” You explained, nodding to him. His expression turned confused again as he started to drive, after he backed out of the parking spot.
“What is it?” You asked, wondering the silent question that’s screaming in his head. He sighed, glancing at you with a weird expression before he let it out.
“How do you play with a gooch?” A nervous laugh rolled out of him before he finished the question. You bit back your laughter as you watched as his hands once again tightened on the steering wheel.
“Pretty sure you just rub it or something.” You tried to describe it with your hands, but you stopped as he sent you a stare. It was that classic Steve glare that made everyone want to laugh, but you held it in for a moment before bursting out.
“Slut me out (out) Slut me out (out) Slut (slut), slut (slut) Slut me out
Rip off my shirt if you love me (sexy) Spit in my face when you fuck me (come sex me) Play with my gooch, while you suck me (don't text me) Eat the dick like you was ugly (don't text me)”
“Baby, please, it’s a joke, don’t look so serious.” You started to laugh, shaking your head at him as he came to a stop light. He let out a sigh of relief, then started laughing with you.
“I thought you really liked this song, and you were playing it to give me a sign or something.” His cheeks were painted red as he thought back to the WAP song and how you introduced it to him.
“Oh, well… I mean, this could be a sign to do something too?” You answered, shrugging softly as you settled a hand over his thigh, the light turning green just then. He was still stopped, eyebrows furrowed down at you when he realized you weren’t joking.
He was silent as he started to really listen to the lyrics. The last time you did this, you two had incredible sex in a kitchen then continued to have sex in the bedroom for another hour or so. He shivered as he remembered the entire day, savoring that memory deeply.
His attention went straight to your hand – when he should be driving – as it continued to creep upwards and dance slowly around his dick. He could feel every muscle and every part of his skin as you glided your hand around the area, and he cursed his pants for being in the way silently.
He also cursed you silently because this was most definitely not the best place to be doing this (but he loved it).
“So, what exactly do you want us to try now?” His question was brimming with excitement and curiosity, wondering what sort of things you wanted to do. He had to admit that he felt a bit old at this moment, but he didn’t really care or give much thought to it since he was a bit distracted.
“Big dick energy, I give it (I give it) Don't believe me, then come feel it (come feel it) Gon' put this here in your kidney, please (please) And hush it like some kidney beans Suck my balls, come chickpea me Why you being weird to me? (Weird to me)
Put your ass in my face 'til I get pink eye Fuck you anywhere, I'm that type guy (that type guy) At the church, on the plane, at the basketball game I don't care, I'ma bust my nut 'til I die ('til I die) What position do I like? All of 'em, baby (Baby) Put it on camera, masturbate to it later (to it later) Ever sucked a vegan dick? Baby, come taste me.”
“Jesus.” He breathed out, absolutely shocked at the lyrics. It was a bit worse than that WAP song. He did not know what to expect the next lyrics to be with this song, compared to WAP. He couldn’t help but chuckle at the comparison, but the chuckle was cut off by a choked surprised noise as you gripped him tightly over his pants.
You paused in your actions, “Is this cool, Steve?” Your use of his name caused him to shudder again. He loved it when you said his name – especially when you moaned it.
“Well, it depends sweetheart, don’t expect there to be no punishment when we get home. You know it’s not good to play in public like this.” He tried his best to sound dominant, knowing you’d enjoy it. You grinned at him, your lips spreading wide with an interested expression.
“Mm, I’m pretty sure I’d enjoy any punishment you give me.” You confessed, giggling when you watched Steve turn to look at you with what seemed like a disapproving stare. Your grip on his clothed dick lightened as you started to move your way to the zipper, undoing it and pressing your fingers up to his underwear opening, guiding two fingers to circle down onto his bare skin.
“I want to do so many things to you. Wanna suck your cock while we’re heading home. Can I pretty please do that?” You asked as politely and innocently as you could and watched as he coughed loudly as you started to rub two fingers up and down on his dick.
“I can barely think when you do that…” He trailed off, head hitting the back of the seat.
“And I want your fingers fucking my pussy, after I suck them wet.” You continued, ignoring his words.
“Baby, please… if you do that I can get into an accident.” He begged slightly, but his hips betrayed him as he started to flex up into your touch. You let your grin widen, happy to see it. His cock was so hard, so ready for you to fuck when you got home.
“Promise that my nut taste like sugar gravy Don't cum quick, I control my bladder (control my bladder) Dick real big, come climb my ladder (my ladder) Fat coochies, little coochies, all coochies matter (they matter)
Ass real fat, I can make it get fatter (fatter) Wanna see a magic trick? Bend over backwards (Over backwards) Meat to meat, wall to wall Coochie to my balls, dawg”
“Insurance will cover it!” You cheered, making him huff out a laugh, shaking his head at your comments. You were being arrogant and ignorant about the fact that he could get into an accident – which he knew could be bad if you two got hurt, or more importantly, you got hurt and he had to watch.
“Not taking that chance, baby.” He sighed, hesitant to say.
“Meanie.” You pouted, a face that made him blush at times. “Fine, then I’ll just give you a hand job.”
He sputtered out something between a laugh and a confusing huff of air. “Is that any different?” His question met with your eyes rolling.
“You and I both know it is.” You replied and he found himself nodding slightly, but adding, “Not when we’re in the car.” He was serious about it, and you sighed but you understood where he was coming from. You didn’t want to get in a car accident, but you trusted his driving skills were decent enough to avoid hitting a car…. But you could play petty.
“Fine, I’ll just fuck myself with my fingers.” You rolled your eyes at him, getting ready to do what you said. Steve sputtered at you, gazing at you incredulously.
“No, you’re not. If you want to be a good girl, you’re not going to do that. You’re going to wait until we get home.” Steve demanded, eyebrows raising at you.
“Ayy, rip off my shirt if you love me (love me) Spit in my face when you fuck me (fuck me) Play with my gooch, while you suck me (suck me) Eat the dick like you was ugly
I mean, hold on, wait Where your friend? Bring your buddy (your buddy) I don't think that you enoughie (enoughie) Her favorite thing to say is, "Cuff me.”
You pouted back at him, “Well… what if I want to be a bad girl right now? Have you cuff me, like the song says?”
“If you do it, you’re not going to be happy in the end, I’m warning you.” He laughed without humor, still watching you.
“Mm, whatever, I’d rather be happy right now with myself then.” Just as soon as you said that Steve gripped the stirring wheel harder as you pulled your pants down by yourself. You gave zero fucks about being in a car, and you had used hand sanitizer already, so you knew you were safe and clean to go ahead and do it.
“I warned you.” Steve let out a disappointed sigh, but he kept looking over you as he drove.
You slid off your panties and grinned to yourself then looked at Steve and winked. Setting a hand over your pussy, you slowly started to rub your clit, making yourself more wet. You let out a moan, mostly to tempt him but also because of how good you were starting to feel.
“Sweetheart…”
You continued your actions despite his words. As you continued to rub at your clit, you started to rub faster and harder while another finger dipped into your pussy, fucking yourself. Your hips started to lift up with each press from your finger, and you added a second finger into your pussy, stretching it out.
“Y/n, on the count of three, you better put your fingers away.” Steve warned, eyes watching you like a hawk. You shook your head at him.
“One, two, three.” He counted, and you continued, grinning even more.
“Screw you Steve, all work, no play.” You sighed out, groaning as you started to reach your orgasm.
“Fuck…” You whispered, rubbing circles into your clit harder and faster, as another finger pushed into your pussy, making it three now.
“That’s it.” Steve said, pulling over the car suddenly, stopping on the dirt. You looked up and around to see you two weren’t exactly home, but in a more secluded place than earlier.
“What are you doing?” You asked, confused at his actions.
“I’m punishing you. Couldn’t wait.” He replied, shrugging at your gaping face. He parked the car and got out, then opened the back door, grabbing a bag of his stuff he’d use for missions. You watched on with a confused face as he put the bag in his seat and opened it up, searching through it.
“What?” You let out.
He grinned as he pulled out the cuffs he uses for missions. You blinked at it and were reminded of what you said earlier. He put the bag away and then got back into the car, with his cuffs in his hands.
“Hands up.” He demanded, and you slowly took your hand off your pussy and put it up next to your other hand. He hooked the cuffs around the holder on top of the ceiling of the car, above the window, and cuffed one hand on one side, and the other hand on the other side, trapping you. You tried to move your hands around, but you couldn’t, especially as Steve looked underneath your seat and set your seat all the way back, laying it flat.
“You wanted me to slut you out, right? That’s what you want, huh?” He questioned.
“Slut me out (out) Slut me out (out) Slut (slut), slut (slut) Slut me out”
You hesitantly replied with, “Uhm, yeah…”. Steve grinned back at you, “Then here it is.”
You were nervous, Steve was never like this. He always warned you about how you were acting but he never really punished you. Or if he did, the punishments always ended in a good way.
“Come on, Steve… this is a little crazy for you.” You laughed nervously.
“Is it? Or did you just push me to the edge?” He questioned back. He raised his eyebrows at you as if to silently answer his own question.
He put his car seat all the way back too, then got closer to you and sighed. “You really push my buttons all the time. And now with this song, you’re trying to tell me you want to change up our sex lives again, like before.”
“But this time, you don’t get a say, got it? All you do say is a color – red, yellow, or green to tell me to continue or to stop.” He continued.
“Steve, what?” You let out a surprised laugh, but you were definitely welcoming what he was doing.
“Is this, okay?” He asked, “Before I go off the edge, is this, okay?”
“Yes, of course it’s okay.” You responded.
He gave you a smile and then continued his actions. He got closer to you and kissed your lips gently before pulling away and sighing again. He licked his lips as he glanced down to your exposed pussy. He moved his hands down to your thighs and started to massage them.
You shifted your hips, trying to get closer to his hands, but he didn’t let you as he sent you a glare. You gulped in your spot, stopping your movements.
He continued to massage your thighs, slowly getting closer to your pussy but not touching it directly. Then he stopped and pulled out his dick, showing how hard he was. Your eyes widened in surprise, as you didn’t think he even cared earlier, let alone get hard.
He started to jerk himself off for a few moments before he glanced over at you with a smirk, “Suck it.” He demanded, and you nodded quickly but as you tried to move forward, you couldn’t move all the way since your hands were trapped.
He chuckled as you struggled and got up, scooting closer to you in the car with him on his knees, bending slightly for you to suck his dick.
You finally could lean forward enough to suck his hard on. You wrapped your lips around his tip, playing with it with your tongue as you scooted closer and pushed your mouth all the way down his cock, throat tightening as you gagged, feeling his skin hit your lips.
“Finally acting like a good girl, huh? Color?” He asked, pulling your head away from his cock.
“Green, fucking green.” You repeated with a huff, before he smiled down at you and grabbed the back of your head and shoved himself down your throat again, fucking you.
“Ahm,” You grunted against his cock, making him groan down at you.
You licked as much as you could, but he started to face fuck you, dragging you by your hair, up and down his cock.
“Fuck, I’m gonna cum.” He moaned, holding you in place as his cock was at the bottom of your throat. You struggled again, and hummed against him, causing him to groan again, “I’m coming, fuck Y/n…”
He held you in place still, causing you to swallow up all of his cum. You gulped it all up, unable to taste it because it was down your throat.
He pulled away after he finished coming, and he groaned as he pulled himself out of you.
“Good fucking girl. I’m so lucky you’re acting good now, no more bad girl huh?” He said, chuckling as you rolled your eyes at him.
“Let me touch myself.”  You insisted, grunting as you tried to shift your legs together, trying to get some friction.
“No. Don’t ask again. You’ll take what I give you. If I give you my cock, you take it. Got it?” He responded seriously, making you gulp again. “Color?”
“Green…” You trailed off, wondering what he was going to do next.
“Good.” He spoke. “Open your mouth.”
You complied after a second, watching as he dragged his fingers up and into your mouth. You automatically closed your mouth around them, sucking them and licking them.
He grinned at you and took his fingers out of his mouth. He moved them back down to your thighs and went down to your pussy, teasing you slightly by lightly moving his fingers across your pussy.
He dipped a finger down into your pussy, watching you gasp at him. “Steve…more.” You whined, grinding down onto his hand. He pulled away instantly and shook his head.
“No. Don’t move.” He spoke up.
“Ah, fuck please, Steve!” You groaned, pushing your head back.
He only continued when you stopped moving and you did your best not to move when he added another finger and you whimpered slightly, shutting your eyes. You were so close to your orgasm just from his fingers, you just very slightly moved and then paused – hoping he didn’t catch that.
“Mm, good.” He commented. “But not good enough.” He spoke as he pulled away his fingers.
“Steve. Please!” You begged, squeezing your thighs together to try to bring you to your finish, but you couldn’t.
“Nope, that’s what you get.” He laughed, then started the car and pulled back up onto the road. You stared at him, gaping as he continued to drive like nothing just happened.
“Steve!” You yelped, “I’m still handcuffed!”
“Oh well, that’s what sluts get.”

Part 13
My heart immediately sinks to the pit of my stomach and in an instant, I’m running. It feels like minutes as I run watching Colin’s slimy hands wrapped around Emma’s chest from behind as she fights to defend herself. He is gripping her wrist tightly as he pins it to her chest and she’s twisting and yelling, but I can no longer hear her screams over my own raging thoughts. He looks up as my thundering steps approach just as Emma bites his hand. 
“Ouch! You bitch!” He screams at Emma and I use his moment of distraction to rip Emma from his arms. I push her behind me away from Colin and without another thought, I rare back and punch him square in the nose. The force behind that punch was enough to split my knuckles but I don’t hesitate to follow his body to the ground and hit him again. Hard. As hard as I can. I’m completely lost in my rage as the only sound I hear being the blood rushing past my ears as my adrenaline pumps throughout my body. A large hand lands on my shoulder and I’m about to turn and fight whoever has dared to touch me in this state when I recognize Mr. Ellis. Mr. Ellis is a friend of my PawPaw’s and similar in age to him which gives me momentary pause. When did he get here?
“Son, he’s out cold. You’ve gotta stop now.” Mr. Ellis gestures to Colin’s body which is crumpled on the hot asphalt of the parking lot. 
“I… he was…” I attempt to organize my thoughts but I can’t.
“I know, Sy. I saw. I saw him trying to snatch that girl and I was getting my gun out of the glovebox when you came running up. Didn’t think I could take him alone. I’ve already called 911 and they’re on their way.” Mr. Ellis talks to me like I’m a caged predator and I realize, that’s exactly how I feel. God, it felt so good to split my hand open on his face. To feel just an ounce of the pain I’d like to inflict upon him. I maybe only got two good hits in before Mr. Ellis stopped me, but I made them count judging from the blood seeping on the ground from Colin’s obvious broken nose. I hear a sniffle and whip around to see Emma sitting on her bottom leaned up against a dark colored car with tears streaking noiselessly down her face.
Oh God, Emma.
Despite protest from my bum leg, I clamber up and over to her. She’s holding her right wrist with her hand and looks absolutely petrified.
“Sugar, I’m here. I’m so sorry.” I apologize. I want to apologize for her seeing me like this, for leaving her alone, for not getting there soon enough, the list is endless.
“Austin…” She whimpers and I wrap my arms around her, pulling her into my lap on the asphalt. Sirens are getting louder as police and EMT’s swarm the grocery store parking lot. 
“I was…sso…scared.” She hiccups between sobs and I feel my heart absolutely shatter.
“I know, Sugar. You were so brave. You were incredible. I’m so sorry.”  
EMT’s quickly rush to Colin’s side where he remains unconscious as they transfer him to a stretcher. Much to my dismay, according to the vitals they were shouting, he’s still alive. 
I know several of the police officers and they agree to call Walt for me. Following protocol, they still have to separate Emma and I to hear the versions of our story to piece together what happened. I refused any care for my hand, as the throbbing in my knuckles felt like the perfect reminder that I gave Colin what he was asking for. As a second EMT is taking a look at Emma’s wrist, a police officer that I knew from the ball field in high school named Keith allows me to say goodbye to Emma before driving me to the station for questioning. 
“Is it broken?” I ask the EMT.
“There’s a possibility of a hairline fracture. We won’t know until she gets an x-ray but Ms. Miller doesn’t want to go to the hospital.” She tells me.
“Emma, baby. Go to the hospital and get it checked out.” 
“I’ll give myself an x-ray at the clinic and if it’s broken I’ll call an ortho doc, but first I’m going to answer the police officer’s questions at the station.”
“Sugar, I” 
“Austin, I don’t want to go to the hospital where he will be. I want to go where you are going.” There it is. She doesn’t want to be in the same building with him and I don’t blame her. 
“Okay, I understand. Are you in pain?” 
“I’ll be fine.” She says as she stands up and a female officer joins us. 
“We have to ride separately because of their protocol, but Walt has been called and I’ll send him directly to you so you won’t be alone, alright Darlin’?”
She nods and I kiss her gently. 
“I love you, and I’ll be with you as soon as they let me.”
“I love you too.” She says with a forced smile. God, I don't want to leave her.
I follow Keith to his cruiser and he allows me to sit in the passenger seat.
I call PawPaw on the way and explain what happened before I ask him to go get my truck from the parking lot since he has my spare keys, that’s full of groceries and take them home for me before dropping my truck at the police station. Nothing surprises that man as he just agrees, tells me that he’ll take the dogs back with him so not to rush and to call him when I can.
I also call Walt and he promises that he’s almost at the station and he’ll go straight to Emma when he arrives. He’s a homicide detective so this isn’t even remotely a part of his job description, but he’s well respected in the community and someone I trust entirely so I want him by Emma’s side until I can be.
We arrive at the police department where I’m placed in a monitored room for about twenty minutes before an older man comes into question me. I explain to him exactly who Colin was, Emma’s history and fear of him, and my actions when I walked out of the store. The investigator surmises that my story matches the witness testimony that was given by Mr. Ellis as well as a young mother who was walking into the store when Colin grabbed Emma. 
“I can confirm that the suspect is conscious now at the hospital, but you should know there is a strong possibility he attempts to press charges against you for assault.” 
I scoff. “I dare him to try.” I say truthfully and the detective just leans back in his chair.
“You’re a big guy compared to him. What was going through your head?”
“I probably would have killed him if Mr. Ellis didn’t stop me. He was trying to take the love of my life. Someone he abused physically, verbally and mentally for years before I met her. I was not going to allow that to happen.”
“Off the books of course, I’d probably do the exact same if someone came after my wife or daughter, so I don’t blame you.” He said with a smirk.
“Can I see her?” 
“She’s still being questioned but I can show you where to wait.”
“Walt with her?” I ask.
“He hasn’t left her side, which is unusual but Walt’s taking good care of her.
After waiting for what felt like forever, Emma finally emerges from the room she was in with Walt right behind her. Her arm is wrapped in a temporary brace as she cradles it to her abdomen.
“Austin.” She says with a visible relief as I wrap my arms around her and she cuddles into my chest.
“Thank you, Walt.” I shake his hand while not removing my arms from Emma’s body.
“Not a problem. She did well. We’re pressing charges against the suspect for attempted kidnapping and stalking, in addition to the violation of the restraining order. He won’t get out of it like last time. We’re talking mandatory jailtime if he’s convicted.” I breathe a sigh of relief.
“Thank God.” I respond aloud.
“We have some paperwork to fill out and then y’all can go.” Walter directs us over to his desk and sends someone to get us coffee.
“The final thing we need to do is a written statement from you, Sy. I got Emma’s in the investigation room. She couldn’t write so I transcribed for her.”
I bite my lip to keep from cursing at the fact that my girl is injured. The poor thing looks exhausted as she cradles the Styrofoam cup of strong black coffee in her uninjured hand. I know it’s bitter after she takes a small sip and places it down with a slight look of disgust. 
“I’ll make this as quick as I can, Sugar.” I say and she nods before looking at the picture of Faye that Walt has on his desk. They engage in small talk as I recount the events of the afternoon starting at the grocery store on paper. My handwriting is just barely legible, but it was good enough for the army to never say anything so they shouldn’t have problem with it either. When I’m finished, I glance at Em who is resting her head against her uninjured arm across Walt’s desk and lightly dozing. I hand the legal pad back over to Walt who reads over it and then has me sign it at the bottom. He adds his signature as a witness to my statement. 
“There was a vehicle in the parking lot near where the assault took place that had an Alabama license plate on it.”
“Was it registered to him?”
“Nope, rental car. I’ve got someone trying to confirm that he was the renter.”
“Was it darkly colored?”
“Black.”
“Damnit..” I mutter. “She said she saw a dark car parked out by her neighbor’s house all night. It turned around in her driveway but she thought it was the neighbor’s kid. I didn’t check the surveillance video when she mentioned it.” I’m such a fucking idiot, I think to myself.
“Was she home?”
“Nah, she was at mine. I should’ve looked into it.” 
“Well, at least she wasn’t there and you’ve got surveillance camera’s up. Send me the video later when you go back and obsess over this.” He knows me well.
“I will.”
“She gonna be okay?” Walt asks and I shrug my shoulders.
“I honestly don’t know. I just can’t believe this even happened. I should have protected her.”
“You did, Sy. That guys face proves it.”
“I shouldn’t have left her alone.”
“Don’t beat yourself up. She’s not a child that needs a babysitter, you didn’t know. Just try to let her process her feelings about it and be there. That’s all you can do in situations like these.” 
“Thanks man. I really owe ya for being there for us. For her. I know this isn’t your responsibility and you certainly don’t have the time to spare.” 
“We’re family, practically brothers. She’s a great girl and I expect to see her officially becoming family one day.” He says with a wink and I smirk.
“I’m just trying not to scare her off or I’d already have a ring.” We shake hands and I gently wake Emma up.
“Sugar, we’re done. Let’s get out of here.” I tell her and she sleepily blinks up at me before nodding. Walt and I are both surprised when she walks around Walter’s desk and wraps her arms around him. 
“Thank you for everything. Next time you have Faye, I would love to meet her.” She says genuinely and Walt smiles, something rare for him.
“You can count on it. As soon as she knows you’re a veterinarian she’ll be asking you a million questions so prepare yourself now.”
“Bring her to the clinic sometime. She can be my assistant for the day.” Emma smiles and I’m surprised at how comfortable she seems around Walt. I’m grateful for it though. I’m closer with him than I am with my own brother and I appreciate her having someone else here she can rely on. Walt’s not an easy man to get to know, so it makes me happy that she broke down that barrier and got him to open up. Breaking down walls seems to come naturally to her. God knows, she worked her magic on me somehow.
We say our goodbyes and make our way to the parking lot where I find my truck parked in the lot, just like PawPaw said he would.
“How?” Emma asked as I opened the passenger door and lifted her in.
“PawPaw. Called him on the way to the station.” I answer before getting in and cranking the engine. It’s late afternoon now and this day seems to have gone on forever. 
“Can we get something to eat on the way home?” Emma asks and I arch my eyebrow at her.
“Sure, but I’m taking you to get that arm checked out.” 
“No. I want fast food, and I want to go home.” She demands.
“Baby, I’m worried that it’s broken. You’re clearly in pain. You’ve been cradling your arm against you since it happened.”
“I just need some Tylenol and a greasy burger. I’ll go tomorrow. After everything today, I just want to go home. Please?” She looks at me with pure exhaustion and almost seems like she might cry. I nod and put the truck in gear. I can't ever seem to tell her no.
“Promise you’ll tell me if it hurts and I’ll take you to the doctor.” I command and she promises.
After securing a bag full of greasy Mcdonald’s, I start making the way towards her house assuming she’d want to be in the comfort of her home. I plan on staying wherever she is, so I’m glad my grandparents took the dogs for the night.
“Where are we going? You missed the turn.” She points out.
“You said you wanted to go home so I figured you meant yours.”
“No. I want to go to yours.”
“Okay, Sugar.” I tell her as I make a u-turn to head back in the direction of my house with a small smile on my lips.
“What?” Emma asks.
“I just like hearing you say you want to go home and meaning my house. I figured you’d want to be in your own bed or something.”
She shakes her head. “Your house feels more like home to me.”
“It is baby. It’s our home.” I tell her as I tuck some hair behind her ear and her smile melts my heart.
After we get home and I explain that the dogs are with my grandparents, Emma takes some medicine before we tuck in to our greasy dinner. Is it really that tasty, or are we just starving from the events of the day? The Wizard of Oz plays noisily on the tv in the background but neither of us seem to be watching it, rather just using it as background noise while we eat.
Emma is quiet, likely processing everything that has happened so I just remain a silent presence as I let her sit in her contemplation, remaining close if she decides she’d like to talk.
I place a bag of frozen peas on her arm when she’s done eating and it startles her almost as if she didn’t notice me moving around beside her. She thanks me quietly as I elevate her arm on some pillows before I run my hands through her hair. We remain sitting in the living room until the movie credits are rolling on the tv screen. Emma is curled against me but seems uncomfortable. I ask her if her arm hurts and she just replies, “cramps”. Damn, in all of the madness today I forgot. This morning seems like it was a lifetime ago. 
“Let’s go take a warm shower and get in bed, Darlin’”. 
Emma nods and I help her up before tossing the peas back in the freezer. I shut off the lights and double check that the doors are locked before we head into the master bathroom and I turn the water on to get it warming. 
“I’ll give you a minute. Need anything?” I ask and she just shakes her head.
I head back into the bedroom making sure I have all of the comfort items I purchased this morning ready for her. I pulled out one of my t-shirts and grabbed some panties from her bag before setting them on her side of the bed. I made sure she had some water and pain relief meds on the nightstand as well. I stripped myself down before knocking on the bathroom door to let her know I was coming back in. Emma was already standing in the hot stream of water so I joined her and wrapped my arms around her. Her bandage was taken off and sat on the bathroom vanity and this was the first look I had gotten of it since she got hurt. I gently placed her arm in my flat palm and looked at the blue, purple, and slightly yellow bruise that had formed along the top of her forearm. 
“I’m okay.” She said as I stared at her arm and tried to reign in my anger towards that bastard of a human. 
“You should see the other guy…oh wait.” She jokes and I can’t help but smirk. Before I can apologize again for not getting to her quick enough, she speaks again.
“Could you help me wash my hair?” 
“Of course, Sugar. Let me.” I take her shampoo that she brought and left over here a few weeks ago and washed her hair before rinsing and conditioning it. While letting that sit, I washed her body as gently as I could. I noticed her knees were scraped but didn’t say anything about it, just gently cleaning them off. After rinsing her hair and her body, I quickly bathed myself before getting us out and wrapping her up in a towel. I attempted to wrap her hair up in a towel as well, but that ended up being more complicated than I realized. She smiled and asked for a moment of privacy so I waited for her in the bedroom as I threw on some boxers. Emma came out a moment later still wrapped in her towel and I quickly helped her put on some panties and my DILIGAF t-shirt that she loves so much. I re-wrapped her hand with the bandage that the EMT’s placed on it earlier today and made her promise that we would get it looked at tomorrow. She showed me how to brush her hair, claiming she could do it with her non-dominant hand, but I was adamant that she let me help her. I gently combed through the tangles over her long hair before settling her in bed with the hot water bottle on her abdomen before crawling in behind her to spoon her.
“Mmm. Thank you for the hot water bottle. And, everything else.”
“I’m just sorry you got hurt. I’ve replayed it in my head a hundred times at least and I shouldn’t have left you alone.”
“Baby. Don’t. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m so grateful you were there.”
“What happened…when I went back inside the store? I’ve been trying not to ask but I just need to know.”
“Well, you went back inside and I started unloading the groceries into the truck. Once I got them all in, I went to put the grocery cart in the little return area. I didn’t see him, I just felt someone come up behind me and I tried to turn around but he wrapped his arms around me and told me to stay still. That’s when I knew. The second I heard his voice and felt his breath on my neck, I knew it was Colin. I told him to stop, not do this. All he said was, “I’m going to make you regret turning your back on me.” I noticed he was sort of backing me up away from your truck and that’s when I started really fighting him and screaming. You showed up a few moments later.” She explained.
My hands gripped tightly into fists as I thought about what happened next. His hands on her, Emma’s screams, my urge to get to her.
Emma placed her hand on top of mine before turning over to face me. I helped her move her hair away from her face before she kissed me. Lovingly, tenderly, appreciatively.
“I love you, Austin Syverson. You mean the world to me.”
“I love you more, Sugar.”
“Thank you for putting up with my baggage.”
“Thank you for putting up with mine.” I say as I stroke her cheek before kissing her forehead. Emma yawns and places her hot water bottle on the nightstand before snuggling into me and falling asleep. Her eyelids flutter in the moonlight that trickles in to the bedroom and I lay there admiring her strength while also running through every ‘what if’ scenario in my head.  What if I hadn’t arrived in time and he had managed to take her? What if he had hurt her worse? What were his intentions by taking her? My brain gets carried away and I’m tempted to get up and get a beer, but I can’t stand the thought of leaving Emma alone after almost losing her. I lay there in the dark with the most incredible woman that I’ve ever met curled against my chest and thank God for letting her be okay before I finally drift off to sleep.
I’m awoken with a start at some point in the middle of the night, blinking the sleep from my eyes as I try and figure out what woke me. I hear Emma whimper and see that she’s having a nightmare. Usually it’s me with the nightmares, but this time she’s the one crying and curled in on herself in the fetal position.
“Sugar?” I gently try and rouse her.
“no, please no.” She mumbles and I flip the lamp on and scoop her up against me.
“Sugar, it’s Austin. You’re safe.” I tell her and her eyelids peel open, groggily.
She takes a deep breath as tears stream down her face. My heart somehow breaks even more.
I don’t know what to do or say so I just keep repeating that she’s safe and hold her until her crying calms down and she is asleep in my arms.
I lay in the dark cradling her as I try to keep my thoughts on my perfect girl, rather than that scum that I wish I had wiped off of parking lot to finish him off. I reach for my phone with my intentions clear. I know what I want. I have some research to do and now is the best time to start.

“Am I crazy?” you asked your best friend, Maria, while applying your mascara. 
“For what? Going on a date with the guy who smashed up your car?” Maria asked dryly, shrugging her shoulders while she watched you get ready. “Nah, I’ve done crazier shit.” 
“What if I remember him much more handsome than he is? Like the adrenaline made me think he was super hot?” you asked. 
“You can always invoke the code phrase and I’ll call you from ‘the hospital.’” Maria offered, putting ‘the hospital’ in air quotes. You smiled over at her and reached for her hand, giving it a squeeze. She smiled back at you. “Though I hope he’s not a dud. It’s about damn time you got back out there.” 
“You’re telling me,” you muttered, touching up your lipstick. You hadn’t had anything more than a hook-up since you were left at the altar two years ago, throwing yourself into work and fixing up the house you bought with your ex. 
With a final look in the mirror, you fluffed your hair and gave yourself a look of approval, then turned to Maria for final approval. 
“You look hot, babe. This guy isn’t gonna know what hit him.” 
You laughed, “Good, cuz he’s the one who hit me. Well, my car, but you know.” 
Three days ago in the grocery store parking lot, you’d been pulling into a spot when a scruffy-looking man hopped into the truck in the spot across from you, started it up, and pulled forward without looking. The front of your little sedan stood no chance against the grill of his behemoth contractor’s truck. 
He’d been incredibly embarrassed and apologetic, offering his insurance info and to pay for the damages himself. Amidst all this, you couldn’t help but notice how handsome he was. Brown curls with a striking hint of gray at the temples, broad, square jaw, and his eyes. Oh, you couldn’t get enough of his eyes and their dark brownness that threatened to swallow you whole. He must’ve noticed you staring because shortly after the tow truck arrived, he asked you on a date. 
“I know this ain’t the best time and, y’know if you’ve got a boyfriend or somethin’ feel free to tell me to shut up, but uh, I was wonderin’ if you’d let me buy ya dinner Friday night? As an apology.” A light blush had risen in his cheeks and he shuffled his feet like he was nervous, so you agreed to it. The smile on his face could’ve lit up the whole city. “Great, I’ll drive.” 
You’d both laughed at his joke. 
The doorbell you installed yourself rang, pulling you back to the present. Maria went downstairs and opened the door. You turned back to the mirror for one last once-over before Maria called your name. You descended into the foyer of your house and couldn’t help the smile that rose on your face. 
Joel Miller framed in your front doorway, wearing a dark green button-down and dark wash jeans would forever be seared into your memory. He looked, in a word, delectable. When he saw you, he smiled. 
“Hey,” he said. “Ready to go?” 
“Yep,” you said, but Maria cleared her throat from where she held the door open. “Oh! Joel, this is my friend Maria. Maria, this is Joel.” 
They muttered hellos and you grabbed your purse, muttering to Maria that no hospital visit was necessary. She smirked her knowing smirk and nodded, bidding you good night. 
Joel brought you to a nice Italian place, behaving like the perfect Southern Gentleman the whole time. He’d opened doors for you, pulled out your chair, and kept his hands to himself other than a hand at the small of your back to guide you to the table. You’d thought manners like this had gone the way of 8-track players and rotary phones, but you were utterly charmed by him.
While you looked over the menu, you couldn’t help but steal glances at him in the candlelight. You didn’t know he’d been doing the same since he picked you up until he cleared his throat. 
“Uh, you look really beautiful tonight,” he said. You could tell he was nervous — dark brown eyes darting all over, fingers tapping on the table.
You smiled warmly at him to try and ease his nerves, “You look really nice, too, Joel. I’ve been looking forward to this since you hit my car.” 
Your assurance seemed to calm him and he chuckled, “Me too, actually. Best accident I’ve ever been in. Well, second best.” 
“What’s the first?” you asked, curious. 
A pink hue tinged his cheeks and he looked down at the table. “My daughter. She wasn’t planned, but she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” 
“You have a daughter?” 
“Yeah, is that,” he cleared his throat again, “is that an issue?”
“God, no!” you insisted, “So you’re divorced? I hope?” you joked. 
“Uhh, her mom split before we got married. Haven’t heard from her since.” He muttered, shifting uncomfortably in his seat as the server came over and took your orders. 
When the server left, Joel wouldn’t meet your gaze. Before you got the chance to ask about his daughter he leaned forward a bit and made eye contact. “I’m sorry, I don’t do this often. I think the last date I went on was when Sarah was in preschool so it’s been a while.” 
Because you had a faulty filter, or because you wanted him to know you knew how awkward dating was you blurted, “I was left at the altar two years ago. So I haven’t dated much either.” 
“Really?” His eyebrows shot up to his hairline. 
“Yeah. We’d been together for six years, I followed him out here for his job, and then on the big day — poof! He disappeared. Two days later, he called from Florida and said he’d gotten a job offer he couldn’t refuse but he didn’t want to uproot the life I had built here,” you scoffed at the bitterness of your memory, washing it down with a sip of wine.
In the dimness of the restaurant his features softened, but you didn’t see pity in his eyes. Only understanding. 
And damn if it wasn’t exactly what you needed. 
Joel, you were coming to realize, was exactly what you needed. 
“Well he’s a goddamn moron,” Joel said. “Only spent a few hours with ya and I can tell.” 
Your heart fluttered when his big hand landed on top of yours on the table. The weight of his hand on top of yours felt incredibly intimate, but you couldn’t find it in yourself to mind. In fact, you really liked it.  
“How old is Sarah now?” you asked, not moving your hand.  
“Almost fourteen.” 
You couldn’t help your reaction — your eyebrows shot up and you tried the mental math. Joel wasn’t that much older than you, maybe mid-thirties, late thirties max, so if his daughter was a teenager he had her in his early twenties. 
“That must’ve been hard,” you said, turning your hand over under his so you were palm-to-palm and squeezing his hand gently, “Raising her on your own.” 
Joel nodded and squeezed back, “Yeah, but my brother helps out and working for myself helps too.” 
“What do you do?”
“I’m a contractor.” 
You lit up at that, mentioning all the little house projects you’d attempted and the two of you chatted about how much subway tiling a bathroom sucks until your entrees arrived. 
You kept talking as you ate, finding more and more topics as the night wore on. Joel agreed to split a tiramisu even though he “didn’t much like sweets,” which you giggled at. 
“Me neither, but tiramisu is the exception.” 
You let him have the first bite, and he nodded in pleasure. “Yeah, that’s pretty damn good.”
Once the tiramisu was gone and the server dropped the check, you did the check dance, but he insisted that tonight was about him making amends so he should pay. You conceded, but only after insisting that next time was on you. 
He’d raised an eyebrow at you, dark eyes getting somehow darker, “There’s gonna be a next time?” 
Returning his smile, you nodded, “If you’d like to. I know I would.” 
Joel finished signing the receipts and stood up, extending a large hand down for you to take. He lifted you up and your body filled with heat at his gaze. Even though you’d just eaten, he looked hungry. 
“Me too, sugar,” he said lowly, lacing his fingers between yours and leading you out to his truck. Again, he opened the door for you like a gentleman and you could feel his eyes on you as you climbed in. You watched him round the front of the truck and get into the driver’s seat, eyes fixed on his hands as he turned the key and made a show of double-checking before he backed out of the parking spot which made you laugh. 
You couldn’t help your eyes landing on him every few minutes as he drove you home, talking incessantly about his daughter. It was incredibly endearing how enamored he was with his kid, how much he admired her accomplishments and how he wished he could spend more time with her without work getting in the way. You could tell this was a man who loved deeply, was loyal to the core, and would carve his own heart out of his chest to make those he loved happy. 
You were half in love with him already, but you shoved that thought away because it was way too soon.
Joel turned down your street and pulled into your driveway, hopping out and opening your door yet again. He helped you down and you kept hold of his hand. 
“Walk you to your door?” he asked, voice husky and eyes dark. You nodded and he led you by the hand onto your porch. It was like something out of a movie. The warm night breeze wafted his spicy cologne toward you, making you lean in closer. His eyes bounced from your eyes to your lips, his own lips parted. From this close you admired each of the gray hairs blooming along his temple and in his short beard. 
“Can I kiss you, darlin’?” he asked, accent thicker than it had been. 
“Yes please,” you breathed, and he leaned down, pressing his lips to yours. The kiss was warm, soft yet firm, like the first bite into a perfectly ripe peach. He tasted like tiramisu and your hands wandered up to his chest. Underneath his shirt, you could feel his pulse quickening along with your own as his hands came to rest at your hips. 
You wanted more, wanted to deepen the kiss and pull his firm, broad body flush against your own — 
But then your front door opened, revealing Maria. 
“Oh! Sorry, thought I heard…”
You and Joel broke apart at your best friend’s interruption. Joel looked sheepish, burying his hands in his pockets. 
“Give us a sec,” you said to Maria, who shut the door. Years of friendship told you she was eavesdropping on the other side of the door, so you kept it brief. 
“I had a really, really great time tonight, Joel,” you said. 
He smiled down at you, brushing some hair behind your ear. “Me too. You busy tomorrow night?”
You shook your head, “Free as a bird.” 
“Good. Pick you up at seven?” 
“It’s a date.”

A/N: thank you so so SO much for the support on part one. i did not expect that at all!! everyones likes, reblogs, comments, and tags made my whole day (especially the comments and tags, almost cried during class cause i was soft over some of y'alls fic reviews) um, anyway, still fluffy, still 4k words, still a little awkward eddie, and some very minor angst for plot movement. nothing to be scared about, i promise. also, this fic is very much not a slow burn, it's more akin to love-at-first-sight-but-were-both-awkward-idiot-dummys. and as always so much love and praise for mona @enam3l for making sure this fic is coherent and not just me rambling thoughts. please enjoy!
PART ONE ✿ PART THREE
Tumblr media
Virginias letter sat heavy in Eddie’s pocket for the remainder of the day. Only being touched again when he took it from the deep, work pockets and folded it up to put in his jean pockets as he left for the day back home.  
Eddie didn’t see you the rest of the day, assuming you left around 2:50 like Virginia would, his own shift not ending till 4. This theory being confirmed when he did finally head out, there were only two cars left in the staff lot. One being his van, his baby that was on her last legs. A few spots down sat the second, Mr. Sinclair’s Honda Accord. Knowing the father of Lucas and Erica, an ex-elementary school teacher turned middle school principal, he probably wouldn’t be heading out till around 5:30 when Ron came in for the night shift and lockup. Mr. Sinclair was a kindly principle with a no-nonsense policy yet, still carefree enough for the kids to like him. He was way better than the principle of Hawkins middle when Eddie attended.   
Eddie parked the Mystery Machine - a name dubbed by Robin the first time he took her and Steve on a drive - in front of the small, blue house. Wayne’s car still parked in the driveway, his shift at the plant not starting till 6; giving Eddie enough time to take a power nap and make dinner for the both of them. Tonight was definitely a soup and grilled cheese kinda night. Maybe some steamed broccoli for a balanced meal or what not.  
Entering the home, he falls into his usual after work ritual of putting any change from his pockets into the coin-jar and his keys next to it. Then, his shoes come off and are placed by the door so he could slip them on easily in the morning. Wayne’s door was closed, presumably still sleeping, so he does his routine quietly. He keeps his shirt on but takes his jeans off to put on some plaid, loose fit pajama bottoms. Before discarding his jeans into the could-be-worn-again pile, he takes out the note. With a sigh, he sits on the edge of the bed with the letter clasped in his fingers.   
Eddie doesn’t even know why the letter was stressing him out so badly. He knew it wouldn’t be anything truly bad. Yeah, he was bummed he wasn’t warned beforehand about her sudden retirement to Florida, but at least she left him something to explain herself. That’s more than the other people in his life who upped and left with no warning could say.   
Man up, dude. It’s just words on some paper.  
With a few more seconds of memorizing all the curves and loops of his name written by Virginia on the back, he bites the bullet and opens the letter. He unfolds the parchment, noting the formal stationary with a huff of laughter, surprised it wasn’t just a loose-leaf lined page. Eddie begins to read the words left for him.  
Dear Eddie M.,  
If you’re reading this letter that means I’ve finally left this hellhole and jumped ship. (Jumped on a ship, that is. You know me and my affinity for cruises to tropical locations.)  
Eddie did know this, having heard a small handful of stories from Virgina about the cruises and summer beach vacations she would take with her son, Rick, and her roommate, Caroline. He even remembers a few years back, one of the first times he saw her out and about at the grocery store wearing this graphic t-shirt of a humanoid lady cat in a hot pink one-piece, lounging on a beach towel with the words ‘Bahama Mama’ in matching pink script above her. Eddie had walked up to her in the dairy aisle, Cheshire Cat grin on display, and said with his whole chest, “Hello, Bahama Mama.” To which Virginia promptly ignored him with a side eye glance and headed towards the produce section.  
But that also means you’ve met the lovely nurse who will be taking my place. She also has a great enjoyment of beach vacations, if you’re looking for topic starters. You’ve always been quite dreadful at small talk, but I won’t bore you with the reminiscing of our first meeting, you were there, and I hope you remember it like I do.  
Knowing you, though, you’re either jumping for joy to be rid of this old gal or confused on my sudden departure. I’m truly sorry I couldn’t say goodbye in person and to leave so suddenly. But let’s be honest here, Edward, if anyone could convince me to spend another 65 55 years in Indiana, it would be you.  
Caroline and I decided it was as good as time as any to finally do some traveling, just the two of us. Rick and the kids are in a good place now (but please still keep an eye on him when you can, I don’t trust him to be truthful about things, like you are.) You're in a good place as well, whether you care to admit it or not.   
I would never have left if I thought you truly still needed me.  
Eddie lets out a sardonic laugh at her truthful sentiments. Virginia wasn’t a liar, she had secrets like any normal person, but when she said things, she meant them. He furrows his brows noticing a small wet stain on the next line before another quickly appears. Bringing his free hand up to his face he realizes he’s crying. With a hard sniffle and another chuckle at his own emotions he collects himself and finishes the note. 
Enough of the sappy shit crap. You’ll be receiving various postcards in due time through our gorgeous new friend. Play nice and don’t fuck it up, Edward. I believe in you. You need to make friends now before you end up stubborn and old like me. Not everyone gets their own Caroline.  
I better here back from you. My replacement will know what to do with them.  
Love, Virginia Wagner  
Eddie folded up the letter, put it back in the envelope and tucked it in his bedside table drawer. Don’t fuck it up, I believe in you, echoing in his brain. He had no intentions on fucking up anything. Especially with you. You, the woman he just met not even 24 hours ago. He shakes you from his thought, not ready to jump  nto that obvious trap set up by a secret hopeless romantic. He needed time. His mind, body, and heart still processing the words he just read before an evil grin spread upon his lips.  
“I fucking knew that old witch was a lesbian.”  
Tumblr media
You didn’t come into work for the remainder of prep-week.   
Which was fine. So fine in fact that Eddie 100% didn’t even notice. He had his own work to distract him. How could he have known you weren’t there when he was so busy moving desks, cleaning floors, eating lunch outside with that sad, puppy dog look on his face because he’s never had to find a spot to eat outside of the nurse's office before. Your disappearance hit him like a freight train on Friday.   
With one of those old school paperback books from a second-hand shop in town in one hand and the other preoccupied with feeding himself. His brain simultaneously trying to read the small words whilst not overthinking every possible thing regarding you.  
Did Eddie just fuck everything up with one meeting? Was he so off-putting that the only reasonable response was to quit on your first day in order to prevent the chance of running into him again? Your ability to make people leave will forever astound me, Eddie Munson, he tells himself.  
The reasonable part of Eddies brain played quickly to shut down this intense negative thinking. Maybe you were just sick? Even nurses get sick sometimes! Or a family emergency! Or your car broke down! Or something evil that Eddie wasn’t sure he’d ever possibly be able to explain to someone who didn’t experience it first-hand like him and his friends was happening in Hawkins again and you just happened to be the first victim-  
Nope. No. No. We’re shutting this down here, traumatized and overactive brain. Eddie began doing his deep breathing exercises that he learned from his therapist (well, Steve’s, who had promptly told Eddie because mental healthcare was a luxury he could probably never afford.) Reminding himself he was going to be okay he decided that on Monday, if you were still M.I.A, he’d ask someone. Freaking out and thinking the immediate worst, wasn’t gonna help anyone, he needed to just chill. Not let his mind take control of him. Virginia was smart and could sense things about people, she wouldn't have forced the two of you to collide in such a way if she thought you’d up and disappear.  
Besides, even the kindest of people don’t share Swiss Rolls with people they hate, and Hawkins was no longer a literal gateway to hell.  
Tumblr media
Eddie’s weekend was uneventful.  
He finished his book. He went grocery shopping. Him and Wayne watched some rom-com film with Julia Roberts as a sex worker. In hindsight, a bizarre movie choice for both of them, next time Eddie thinks he’ll just let Wayne put on his beloved westerns. He worried just a bit about you. He kept his thoughts as realistic as he could this time. Although, he did at one point worry, whilst lying in bed Sunday night, whether you had gone missing and he was the only one to notice, meaning he’s now fucked up any chance of your rediscovery by not informing someone. But this was Hawkins. If you had truly gone missing without a trace, he would’ve heard of it by now. Especially from Pamela in Admin who did the attendance records and didn’t know how to keep things to herself.   
Point is, if you had an unexcused absence for the 4-days you were gone, she would’ve made it everyones business. Which gave Eddie some peace of mind that he’s heard nothing through the grapevine that runs through Hawkins.  
That Monday morning, Eddie was the first to traverse the halls of the first day of another school year at Hawkins middle. Or he thought he was. He wasn’t so sure because as he made his way to the main switch box that turned on all the hallway lights, a fluorescent glow was spilling out of the Nurse’s office.  
He slowed his pace as he approached the door left ajar, his head peeked around the corner of the entry. The lights were all on, there were various storage boxes on the beds, some filled with medical odds and ends, others empty. It was clear someone had been there organizing supplies.  
“Uh,” Eddie cleared his throat, the first use of his voice for the morning, “Hello?”  
“Good morning,”  
He whips around, startled by the cheery voice.  
“Jesus H. Christ, you gotta stop doing that,” his hand rubbed at his chest, face disgruntled and red from the jump scare.  
“Hey, you’re the one who keeps entering my workspace unannounced,” a look of innocence on your face. You step around him, bodies almost touching for just a second, causing Eddie’s heartbeat to increase embarrassingly so.     You’ve got a coffee mug held tightly in one hand, the other stuffed deep in your cardigan. The same sunflowers embellishing it, that greeted Eddie last time. Your scrub top today was black with various illustrations of Mickey and Minnie Mouse depicted as nurses.   
“I said hello,” he argues, hand rubbing at his chin. He continues to take in your appearance and any new details he can latch onto. You look the same, of course. It’s only been like what, 6 days since he saw you last. The only glaring difference being a sleepier appearance, even with the bubbly morning aura, your eyelids look heavy. You roll them at his defense, a resting smile never leaving your lips.  
You step over bins on the floor, take a long sip from your mug, and set it on the same table he put his lunch sack on last week. He smiles at the mug; it was off white and in red cartoonish font had the slogan ‘I ♡ my aunt!’. You begin to work on the boxes and talk as he stands in the entryway, not wanting to disturb the systematic mess you have in place.  
“I hope you didn’t miss me too much,” you snort, picking up a closed box and putting it in the storage closet by the office part of the Nurse’s Office, “I normally don’t disappear like that. You know, I just moved in town a few weeks ago, and I’ve been having problems with the house I’m renting,” you sigh after exiting the closet. Now stuffing labelled Ziploc bags with various bandages and over the counter medication into a new bin. You look focused even while speaking sporadically.  
He can’t move his eyes away from your hands as you work diligently on putting content into storage while still explaining about your absence. Vaguely, he catches something about landlords, repair men and having to take cold baths. He was listening but most of his attention was focused on your fingers tackling Ziploc bag openings. Your sleeves rising just enough for him to wonder if shadows were playing tricks on his mind, or there was a wrist tattoo he couldn’t quite make out from this angle.   
“Eddie, ya still with me?”  
He eyes snaps up from your stilled hands to look at the playful gleam in your eye from catching him staring, “hm?”  
“I asked if you’ve read the letter yet,” you decide to step slightly closer, most of the boxes now closed and in the closet. There weren’t that many to begin with but he’s still surprised with how fast you managed to finish the task.  
“Yeah, I did. It was sweet, for Virginia that is,” really sweet. You show your teeth in a wide grin.  
“I’m glad. I was afraid you might hold some resentment towards me for replacing her,” you do that snort laugh thing again, “I am nosey though, did she mention me?”  
Eddie smirks mischievously, hands coming to rest on his hips, allowing himself to incline, further closing the distance between you both.   “Wouldn’t ya like to know, Peach.”  
Your stomach did front flips from the use of that silly, little nickname again. 
“I would, I really would. That’s why I asked,” you say as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. One of your fingers he’d been watching intensely before, now coming up to give his chest a poke. 
Was this flirting? Eddie knew it was something akin to flirting, but was this a playful flirting or a serious flirting? He struggled between the two, often getting told off and read wrong for his natural charm. He’s like pretty sure he’s flirting with the serious intention, but were you? His heart felt like it was gonna fall out of his ass and he might throw up his own brain from all these emotions and thoughts.  
Before he could respond and remind his head and heart to start working again, a familiar voice spoke from behind his back.  
“What is happening here?”  
It was Eddie's turn to roll his eyes, another body squeezing past him to enter the nurse’s office. He takes a step back to let the young intruder have space to do whatever he needs to do here. You put your hand down and smile at the student you’ve yet to meet.  
Matty Sherman had a head of thick dark curls, a mole on his left cheek, and dark green eyes. He was wearing an obviously well-loved and a size too big Pantera t-shirt he had obviously cut the sleeves off himself to make into a muscle tee. He paired this with loose fitted, medium wash jeans, and some relatively new converse. Obviously wanting to make a statement and look his best for his first day of 8th grade. Both of his backpack straps were secured on his shoulder. His eyes looked between Eddie and you before landing securely on you.  
“Sup,” he smiles wide, dimples and braces on display.   
“Hi,” you smile widely yourself, a hitch in your voice from trying to not laugh at the situation. You glance over to Eddie, who’s looking at you with a pout on his pretty lips. Your eyes shift toward yet another, Ziploc bag that was in Matty’s hand.  
“That for me?” You ask, hand gesturing towards the bag holding obvious medication.  
“You the nurse?” The teen boy asks in a playful tone, as if you’re not wearing an outrageously patterned scrub top whilst standing in the nurse’s office.  
“I am the nurse.”  
“Then this is for you. I have asthma,” he hands you the Ziploc bag, curls bouncing when he turns to look at Eddie now, “Munson.”  
“Sherman, how was your summer?”   
“Dude, it was great. My dad felt so bad about not doing crap with us for Christmas that he took Me and Eli to see Megadeth in Chicago,” Matty excitedly responds, hands flailing around as he speaks. Beaded bracelets he had covering his wrist clanking together.   
Eddie couldn’t help but smile slightly at that. As much as he acted like Matty was a thorn in his side, he did genuinely care about him. In some weird turn of events, he had become to Matty what Virginia was to him. A safe haven at school. Even though Matty was far more popular than Eddie was at the same age, he obviously needed some sort of role model or trusted adult to just care. Matty had his mom at home and Eddie at school. Similar to how Eddie had Wayne at home and Virginia at school.  
Matty was waiting for Eddie's response, wanting some sort of confirmation that his ass of a father taking him and his older brother to see a metal concert was actually a cool thing to do. You were clearly taking your time putting Matty’s medication away to give them time to have this moment. Eddie smiles wide at Matty, to which he instantly perks up more.  
“Man, that does sound like a great summer. I spent my whole summer cleaning up after you kids,” he huffs and gives Matty’s shoulder a nudge.  
“You would’ve loved it, Munson, I’m telling you.”  
“Yeah,” he agrees before your make yourself known again.   
“I hate to break this up but class for you,” you gesture towards the youngest metalhead, “starts in about 5 minutes and I’m pretty sure we need to get back to work,” you give Eddie an apologetic smile. It’s probably the closest thing to sad he’s seen you so far and he’s not a fan. At all.  
“Yeah,” he agrees sadly, teeth nipping at his bottom lip, “We good for lunch?”   
“Yes.” You respond, quickly. Agreement coming out before he even got to the final syllable in lunch. Now his lips are being nipped to contain his full smile.  
“Good, I’ll see you then,” he moves his hand to grab the handle of Matty’s bookbag to lead him out.  
“You will! Bye guys,” You wiggle your fingers in goodbye.  
“Bye,” Matty waves to you as he’s being pulled out by Eddie. Your laugh following them out into the hall.  
Eddie keeps his hand secured on Matty’s bag until they’re a good few feet in the opposite direction from your door. He lets go and Matty takes a few steps to the side and adjusts his backpack to sit better on his back.  
“She’s hot.”  
Eddie is positive he gets whiplash from how fast his head turns to glare at the 8th grader. Disgust on his face, even though he said something factual, he shouldn’t be saying things like that at all. He’s like a baby in Eddies eyes.  
“Jesus, Matty, don’t say shit like that.”  
Matty gasps in mock shock, “Woah! Language, Mr.Munson, I have impressionable ears,” he dramatically covers his ears with both hands. Eddie shakes his head and gives his bookbag a gentle shove towards where he knows his home room is.  
“Get to class.”  
Matty laughs loudly as he runs down the hall to his first period. Eddie felt too old for this shit.  
Tumblr media
That Monday lunch went swimmingly. Eddie thinks. He hopes. It definitely felt like it went swimmingly?  
You laughed at his jokes. His actual jokes, not just his situational awkwardness. You asked about his week and he asked about yours. He left out the part of being fearful you quit cause of him. Whilst you delved more into your trouble with the handy men and your landlord; your stove still didn’t work but at least you had hot water. He even got to learn more about you pre-Hawkins by finally divulging the info Virginia had written about.  
“Well, she is right. I do love the beach,” You were talking with a grape stuffed into your cheek. It was endearing but Eddie was silently praying you chewed it well and didn’t choke cause he definitely did not know the Heimlich manoeuvre. “I think that’s what I’m gonna miss the most while here. Indiana doesn’t even have a coastline, how sad is that,” You’re shaking your head in disapproval.  
“We have lakes,” he tries to amend, taking a bit of his Swiss Roll that you, again, have shared with him.  
Your eyes shoot up at him in a glare, not amused by his suggestion, “Eat your sandwich.” You say it in a tone that Eddie imagines you would use while scolding a student, it makes him roll his eyes with a huff but he does as you say. Putting the half-eaten Swiss Roll down to actually eat the sandwich he brought, another concoction of various cheeses and deli meat and some lettuce for color.  
You smirk at him following your directions. You’re eyeing both your lunches once again, almost identical to the meals you brought on your first lunch. Two sandwiches, two Swiss Rolls, one bag of pretzels, another bag of grapes. You have a Coke can and he’s got Yoo-hoo in a glass. It kinda makes you sad that you’re both grown adults eating lunches teenagers would prep for themselves. You think, once your stove is fixed you may start bringing some better meals, definitely less peanut butter and more vegetables. Maybe you’ll even bring enough to share.  
And on Thursday that’s exactly what you do.  
Tumblr media
Outside of that first Monday morning, nothing eventful really happened for the rest of the week. You had your small group of after lunch medicine takers and a few kids in need of ice packs and Band-Aids. Your lunches were preoccupied with Eddie, getting to know him better.   
Part of your brain wanted to convince you that they were kinda like mini dates.  Unfortunately, your rational side reminded you that you were just two co-workers who didn’t really fit into any of the other staff groups, looking for some companionship during lunch. You were the replacement of his previous lunch partner. But then you remembered all the snippets of info Virginia had written to you once she began to send you letters after your acceptance to take on her job so she could retire. You probably would never tell Eddie you know this slice of information, not wanting to embarrass him, but she had made it very clear that Eddie was lonely. She knew you were lonely too.   
You two can be lonely together.  
When Eddie walked into your office that Thursday he was extremely confused at the second lunch box placed where he would normally sit. It was bulky and plastic like yours, but instead of Snoopy it was the Smurfs. You were writing something down in that nurses journal you had, your own lunchbox sat next to your resting elbow.  
A worried thought started in his mind, Did you find a new lunch buddy? Were his conversational skills not improving? But then you looked up at him, that kind little smile on your lips.  
“You gonna sit down or just keep enjoying the view?”   
He returns the smile and gestures to the blue thing before taking his seat, “What’s this?”   
“Oh, uh…” You’re flustered. It’s obvious and he’s enamored by it - like most things you do. God what’s gotten into him. “I hope it’s not too forward, but I made you a lunch. My stove got fixed and your, well our- please take no offense to this, our lunches were starting to depress me a bit.” You were talking faster the more you went on. Realizing the possible negative consequences of your actions. Eddie was nice but he didn’t have to entertain your too comfortable and too caring too fast behaviors.   
He quickly shut down your increasingly panicked explanation, “I’ve never had a girl make me a lunch before. It’s sweet. You're sweet.” He was honest. He hasn’t had a girl in this context make him any sort of a meal before and you were sweet. Sharing Swiss Rolls and ‘take as many as you like’ candy bowls with the expensive chocolate kind of sweet. 
You smile. A wide, closed mouth smile at his understanding. He taps his fingers against the hard plastic shell, right on-top of Smurfette's blue face.   
“I hope you like it and I hope you’re not allergic to anything.” You’re calmer now and anticipating him opening his lunch.  
“I’m not. Except, for like, pollen,” he chuckles and unlatches the box. Inside there was a Tupperware of spirally noodles with a mix of cut up: vegetables, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, a few rogue pieces of broccoli and some halves pepperoni slices, an oil based Italian dressing covering it all. Your aunt’s pasta salad, that was the first recipe you ever learned. Next to it, wrapped in cling wrap was a fudgy looking brownie with peanut butter morsels spread throughout. When he looks back up you had taken out two Coke cans from the stash he knows you keep in the bottom part of your giant metal filing cabinet. A pretty hand holding one out to him.  
“I refuse to buy Pepsi, hope you like Coke.”  
“I love Coke,” he takes it from your hand.   
The food tasted as good as it looked, so good only the sound of chewing, plastic forks on Tupperware, and hums of appreciation being heard. It was similar to the first lunch but instead of the awkward, uncertain air, this moment was comfortable, relaxing. Two friends - because that’s what you two have become in this last week - enjoying a meal together.   
It happened fast, Eddie thinks, this comfort between the two of you. Maybe it’s the kindredness between you two, the various similarities you shared.   
“You know, I can cook too,” Eddie breaks the silence. You’re working on your dessert, always saving it for last. Eddie was impatient and devoured his first thing in the most polite way possible. There’s brownie in the corner of your mouth when you give him your attention, humming for him to continue his thought.  
Eddie’s not sure what possesses him to do it. He could play it off as his role of janitor and having a habit of cleaning messes, but he knows that’s not entirely true. He cups one side of your face with his hand, the rings are a nice cold on your warm face. His thumb swiping the crumbs from corner lip in such a natural way you’d think he would have done this to you often. No matter how hard you try, you'd always been a messy eater. You don’t flinch. You don’t even show any signs of this being unusual or unwelcome aside from a slight widening of your eyes.  
Eddie let's another wave of confidence take over him. “Maybe I can cook for you on Saturday night?”  
You nod, mouth still full of brownie and making the executive decision to not be gross and talk with your mouth full in this situation. He smiles and removes his hand from your cheek. Silently, you both find the skin that had just made contact now tingles. It's hard not to think about when you may steal another touch, but the pair of you hope maybe Saturday.

So Sweet
Kirby Reed x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
WARNING: SMUT 18+, Dom!Kirby, Sub!Reader, Fingering (R Receiving), Oral Sex (R Receiving), Strap On Sex (R Receiving), Hickeys, FLUFF, Mentions of Murders and Police Investigation
PREFACE: Reader is Kirby's fiancé and an old friend of Sam's from when she worked with her at the bowling alley in Modesto. Once she found out about the Ghostface attacks in New York, she had to go and make sure Sam and Tara were okay
A/N: Texts are Colored and in Bold!
Flashbacks in Italics!
She is my newest hyper fixation, so, enjoy <3
Tumblr media
"Sam?", I call out,
Making her turn towards me. Once I made sure it was actually her, my shoulders' finally drop in relief.
"Oh my god", I whisper to myself,
Before walking up and pulling her into a hug.
"I was so worried. We practically sped all the way here"
"You didn't need to come all this way", she says
"Are you kidding me? Once I heard about the case from my fiancé, I just packed a bag and hopped in her car", I reassured,
Pulling away, as she sighs.
"You're my friend, Sam. I had to make sure you were okay"
She smiles and looks down at her feet.
"Thank you"
"Don't mention it"
Just then, her eyebrows raise in confusion whilst looking back up at me.
"Wait...fiancé?"
That's when I realized I never got to tell her.
"I guess life's gotten away from me. Yeah, I'm getting married"
"No fucking way"
I couldn't help, but laugh at her surprised expression.
"To who?!"
"Well-"
"Baby!", a familiar voice calls out,
We both look behind us and there she was. Despite being together for years, she never failed to make my heart skip a beat.
Kirby and I met when I moved to Atlanta in pursuit of a better job than the one I had in Modesto. I was at the grocery store, checking out the ingredients I was gonna use for dinner, when the cashier swiped my card.
"Sorry, ma'am, but this card was declined", she let me know,
"Oh, um, could you try it again?"
"Of course"
She tries the card once more and sure enough, we ran into the same problem.
"It's still declined"
"I got it", a woman answered,
I turn around and it felt like I got the wind knocked out of me. There weren't enough words to describe just how beautiful she was. From the greens and blues in her eyes to the rosy pink lips and soft blonde hair...she was something straight out of a movie.
I eventually snap out of the lavender haze that was consuming me with each passing moment and go to stop her.
"Oh no, please, I couldn't-"
"I insist", she interrupts,
Swiping her own card. Not only was she breathtaking, but her heart was just as perfect. I smile to myself and take my now-bagged groceries. We made our way outside to the parking lot and she walks me to my car.
"I'm (Y/N), by the way", I introduce shyly,
"Kirby", she grinned,
"Is there anyway I could repay you?"
"Well...you could take my number, as a thank you"
I let out a laugh, before realizing she was being serious.
"Oh! Um, sure", I reply,
Getting my phone out. She takes it and starts putting in her number. Was this really happening? If this was all just a dream and I wake up right now, I'll be so pissed. Once we had each other’s contacts saved, I slid my phone back into my pocket.
"Maybe next time, you'll forget your wallet at a gas station and I can ask you out for dinner", she jokes,
Handing me back my phone.
Her sense of humor was only one of the many things that made me fall for her. We spent the next few months just flirting and getting to know each other. We would meet for dinners, coffee and even horror movie marathons at each other's houses.
One habit I picked up since I met her was looking forward to the sweet little morning texts she'd send me.
Kirby<3: Morning, beautiful. Hope you slept well
And every time, without fail, I would squeal into my pillow like a child.
Me: Good morning! I did, hope you did too. Are we still on for binging the Conjuring movies?
Kirby<3: Are you kidding?
Just then she sends me a photo of the snacks, drinks and an infinite amount of candy.
Kirby<3: I've got them all in chronological order! I'm just waiting for you to bring your fine ass over here
It didn't take long for us to become official.
It happened one night, after one of our little rendezvous. There we were. Laying in her bed, sweaty and out of breath. Our limbs tangled together, holding me tight against her bare skin.
"You are amazing", I exhale,
As I attempted to catch my breath.
"I know", she joked,
Pressing a kiss to the back of my shoulder and causing a soft chuckle to escape me.
"You know what I've been thinking about?", she questioned,
"Hm?"
"...How much I love you"
It was as if time came to a screeching halt, the moment those words left her lips. Afraid that this was all just a figment of my imagination, I hesitantly turn to face her.
"What?"
Maybe I was just hearing things. She laughs and gently caresses the apple of my cheek, like I was a piece of glass she was too scared to break.
"I love you, (Y/N)", she repeats,
Leaning in to kiss me once more. Little did I know that this night was the beginning of the rest of our lives together.
When Sam realized who it was walking towards us, her jaw drops in shock.
"Kirby?”
“Surprise!”, she greeted,
Putting an arm around the small of my waist, before I turn my head to meet her kiss.
“Wait, when did this happen?”, she questioned,
“About six months ago”, Kirby answered,
As I smiled at her.
“I’m so happy for you guys, really. It’s so good to see you again”
“It’s good to see you, too…I mean…better circumstances would’ve been nicer, but-”
Samantha tilts her head and shrugs in agreement.
"How are you and Tara holding up?", I asked,
"Holding up", she replied,
Looking back at her sister and friends.
"A friend of mine who works at the Plaza booked you guys a suite. You'll have extra security there", Kirby informs,
"Kirby-", Sam goes to argue
"Don't bother saying no", I interrupt,
Knowing Kirby wouldn't let Sam and the rest to fend for themselves out here.
"This is your safety, Samantha. You shouldn't risk it, especially with that psycho's targets on your backs", she explained,
Gesturing to her sister and friends, who were now approaching us.
"Kirby, this Mindy and Chad. Their friends of ours from Woodsboro", Sam introduced,
"Great, even more people to add to our suspect list", the young woman replied,
"I'm sorry?", I asked,
Scrunching my eyebrows in confusion.
"Well, this whole thing is obviously someone staging another stab movie, so...that makes you two the newest characters to look out for", she explained,
Before I could question any further, Kirby decided to reply instead.
"She's right"
"What?", I turn to my fiancé,
"That's a fair observation. Good to know we have another horror movie fan in our midst, could never have too many", she reassured,
I shake my head playfully. After making sure everyone was okay, the car we ordered to take them to the plaza shows up.
"That's your ride. Sam, you have our numbers"
She nods.
"Just let us know when you make it there safe. The Airbnb we're staying at is right across the street, if you need anything", I bid goodbye,
"Thank you", she smiles,
Before following her friends into the car.
~
Later that evening, we got back to the apartment after Kirby was done doing whatever else she needed to do at the at the police station.
"I am beat", she exhales,
Flopping onto the couch.
"You're telling me", I replied,
Joining her and laying against her chest, as she held me close to kiss the top of my head.
"I can't believe we're actually getting married"
"Yeah", I chuckle,
Kissing the forearms that were wrapped around me. We spend a few moments laying in the comforting silence, when she decided to speak once more.
"How tired are you?"
"A little tired", I turn to face her,
"What's up?"
That's when I notice the smirk on her face and immediately knew why she asked.
"Oh"
She giggles, before leaning in to kiss me. Despite how many we've shared, each kiss was only more exciting than the last. I flip onto my front and straddle the expanse of her thighs. Her hands making their way up my hips and settling around my waist to hold me where she wanted.
Her lips eventually trail past my cheeks and down to my neck. Marking my skin with one hickey after the other.
She slightly pulls away, while her fingers tug at the bottom of my shirt, almost as if to ask if she could take it off. The day I say no to that question was the day I'd officially lost my mind.
I nod and she pulls it off over my head, leaving me in just a black bralette.
“Good fucking god”, she praised,
Causing a delicious chill to run up my spine. Not wanting to waste anymore time, she reaches behind me and undoes my bra, before letting it fall down my arms. My top half was now left completely exposed to the draft in the apartment, which was made apparent by my buds immediately hardening at the cool air.
She pulls me in closer and wraps her lips around one, while the fingers on her free hand began to pinch and roll the other. There was no stopping the onslaught of whines and pleading moans that were escaping me.
I lean into her touch, as each hum she made against me caused vibrations to travel down to my core, only causing me to grow wetter and needier for what she had planned next. My hips began to grind against hers, granting me some kind of friction to alleviate the growing ache between my legs.
"How long has it been?", she mumbled against my breast,
"Too long", I exhale,
Getting back on my feet, allowing her to unbutton my jeans and drag it down to my ankles. I hastily step out of them, before straddling her once more.
She then lays me down and her lips make their way down my chest and stomach, till she was finally where I needed her. Her fingers wrap around the waistband of my underwear and slides them off of me, prior to being thrown across the room.
She parts my legs and takes a moment to admire the mess she was making out of me.
"So fucking good", she whispered,
Before nipping at my inner thighs and making them tighten around her head, to which she throws them over her shoulders and pulls me in even closer. Finally having had enough with teasing me, she dives right in. Her tongue licking up all of the arousal, as I gasp at the contact.
"Mmm, my sweet girl", she hums,
Sucking at my clit. She knew just what to do to drive me up the wall and have me begging for more.
Kirby always went on and on about the way I tasted. She said that if she had it her way, my legs would be over her shoulders all day long.
I could be do anything, like washing the dishes and she would just turn me around, get on her knees, spread mine apart and just dive right in. Once she'd gotten her fix, she would just get back up, kiss me and move on like she didn't just have me screaming and shaking.
Her fingers start rubbing up and down my slit, only adding onto the pleasure that was already consuming me.
She finally slips her digits into me and they immediately press against my g-spot. A gasp fleeing out of me as a result. It didn't take long, before she picked up momentum and was ramming into me faster and harder.
"Fuck, yes!", I whined,
Grabbing onto her golden locks for dear life.
She didn't let up once.
"You taste so fucking good", she cooed,
Swallowing me whole like I was the last thing she would ever have again. The familiar knot in my stomach threatening to snap at any moment.
"Don't stop!", I cry out,
"Don't plan on it", she teased,
Before continuing her ministrations on me. Her fingers repeatedly hitting my sweet spot every time she plunged into me, as my walls clenched around them like a vice. I knew it was only a matter of time before I-
"You're close, aren't you? Be good for me, baby, let me fucking have it"
That was all I needed to hear. I came with a screaming moan and let myself go all over her welcoming mouth. Once she was done swallowing the mess I made, she licked me up clean, causing a whine to escape me from the overstimulation. I was always so sensitive and she knew that. So it came as no surprise to me, when she giggled at my reaction.
Finally coming up for air, Kirby then pressed her swollen lips against mine.
"Can you taste yourself?", she mumbled with a smirk,
I nod and she pulls away.
"Think you can handle one more?", she questioned,
"I brought your favorite toy", she added,
Rubbing circles onto my sides with her thumbs. How on earth could I say no to that? I nod, still trying to catch my breath from the orgasm that I just had.
"I need to hear you say it, baby", she says,
"Yes, please", I shyly answer,
She chuckles and leaves me with a kiss to the cheek, before hurrying off towards the bedroom. She then comes back with the strap and places it on the edge of the couch.
I got back on my feet and helped her out of her clothes, as we continued making out. I get her top, pants, bra and thong off and no matter how many times I've seen her naked, I was always left speechless at how beautiful she was. Every dip and curve making my mouth water from how badly I needed her.
"Just to let you know, a picture would last longer", she teased,
"Oh, shut up"
She laughs, stepping into the harness, as I helped secure her into it. I lay back down and she gets in between my legs, wrapping them around her waist. She grabs the base and drags the tip up and down my slit, causing my hips to buck up against hers.
"Someone's excited", she exhaled against my ear,
Dragging her tongue against the tender point behind it.
Finally having had enough with the torture, she pushes the toy into me in one swift thrust. A surprised gasp escaping me as a result.
She began pounding into my needy cunt with such need, it felt like the couch was squeaking against the floor.
"God, you're tight", she mumbled,
Struggling against the firm grip I had on the toy, whilst burying her face in my neck, littering my skin with hickeys and bite marks.
The climax I hit not too long ago still rendered me sensitive, so, I was already on the verge of having another orgasm, only this one was growing more intense than the last one due to me being overstimulated.
By this time, the room was filled with the smell of sex and sweat. The sounds of my pathetic cries and our skins slapping against each other echoing throughout the halls.
I wouldn't have been surprised if we got a noise complaint by tomorrow morning.
"Does that feel good, baby? Did you miss this as much as I did?", she groans,
Ramming even harder and faster into g-spot.
"Yes! I'm so fucking close!", I scream between my moans,
"Do it for me. Cum"
The knot in my stomach snaps and comes undone, as I cried out one final time.
My body immediately goes limp, allowing Kirby to gently pull out, causing me to whine at the sudden emptiness. She always made me feel so deliciously full.
Once she rids herself of the toy, she scooped me up into her arms and lays me on top of her bare chest, before grabbing the blanket to shield us against the apartment's cool draft.
"That was...wow", I exhale.
My mind still reeling from the euphoric state it was just consumed by. She chuckles and kisses the top of my head.
"God, I love you", she says,
"I love you too", I replied,
Looking back up at her in awe. She leans down and presses another one of her kisses to my eager lips.
"So sweet", she smiles.
Let's just say I spent the rest of the night returning the favor.

Chapter Fifteen
Lee Bodecker (The Devil All The Time) x Femme Reader
A year after the sudden death of your husband you find yourself at a loose end, unsure what to do next. You're also learning about your sexuality - your hidden desires and fantasies creeping out now you're no longer playing the role of the good wife. A certain Sheriff in town could be the one to awaken something in you.
Series Masterlist
Warnings: some sexual references, smut, hints at heavy drinking/alcoholism
Author’s Note: Okay this is the final chapter! I hope you’ve enjoyed the story. I always have a lot of fun with Lee and this is one of my fave things I’ve written. Thank you for reading, please reblog/comment - I’d love to hear what you thought ❤️
Tumblr media
You had to find Lee. You had to talk to him.
After rushing off from Julie you made a beeline for the station. The image of him nervously hovering outside the diner for you gave you hope that maybe all wasn't lost between you both. Maybe he missed you like you missed him. At the very least, maybe you could clear the air and try to be something resembling friends, no longer hastily avoiding each other's faces while in line at the grocery store.
Your talk with Julie had brought you back to those early days after Arthur. Haunted by his presence, but becoming something of a ghost of your own too – ambling around your house by yourself, living in the past - only sustained by fantasy and memory. 
You wanted to live.
Lee was on duty apparently but you couldn't find him anywhere. The station's secretary had just said he was out on patrol. He wasn't at the diner. Not at the bar. Nowhere you'd expect to find him.
As you drove towards his home you caught a glimpse of a familiar cruiser parked up at the side of the dirt road. You pulled over and rushed towards the car but he wasn't in there. He couldn't have gone far. The wind chilled your bones as you pulled your coat closer to your body and you grimaced, looking to the cruiser for sanctuary from the cold. It was unlocked so you climbed in, moving into the backseat and waiting for him to return as you took your jacket off. You weren't sure what you were going to say as you nervously waited for him, but you needed to think of something.
You didn't know it but Lee was only fifteen or so feet away having a quick piss and cigarette in the woods. He kept thinking about the bourbon bottle in his glove box, trying to stave off his cravings, knowing he was drinking earlier and earlier these days.
Losing you had done that to him. He had unravelled since the moment he left your house that night, playing the horrible events out in his head over and over. He knew he'd fucked up and he desperately wanted to talk to you, but had no idea what to say. He thought your frightened face as you sat weeping on the floor. He thought of your heart breaking when he told you the truth about Arthur. Your horror over what happened to Davey, your hurt when he implied you were a whore. You had every right to hate him and he wanted to respect your space.
Occasionally he'd wait around the diner wanting to see you but would inevitably chicken out and go back to his car. He'd even parked outside your house a few times. He'd come up with a million first lines for what he'd finally say to you, but they all evaporated on his tongue.
In short, he was a mess.
He sighed as he trudged back to his car and flopped down behind the wheel. A voice from behind him made him jump out of his skin.
"Hi" you said quietly.
Lee yelped in surprise, clumsily smashing the horn as he jumped and turned to look behind him at where the voice came from. You watched his face twist in shock, then saw him exhaling with relief when he realised it was you.
Lee's breath hitched. It was so good to see you. You looked beautiful as always. He could hardly believe you were here. He suddenly felt very nervous.
"Jesus Christ, are you tryna' fuckin' kill me?" he bellowed as he clasped a hand over his heart.
You couldn't help but laugh at the dramatic display, failing to muffle the sound as you held a hand to your mouth. Lee laughed a little too, in spite of himself.
"I wanted to talk to you" you said, more seriously now as you settled down.
"And you need to be in the back of my car to do that huh?" he mock scolded. "C'mon Crazy, come up here". He extended his hand to you.
"Crazy?" you said, incredulously.
"Yes - crazy to hide in my car and make me jump outta my skin like that."
He moved his hand to you again which you took gingerly as he smoothly pulled you into the front passenger seat. Your heart jumped as your fingers touched and you were briefly transported back to all the moments when his hands had been on yours.
You both sat in silence for a moment as your mind went blank and it was as if you had forgotten every word you'd ever known.
"Lee..." you started.
"No. Please let me" he said softly, looking out at the road. "I...I can't say how sorry I am. For everythin' I said. It was awful. I'm ashamed".
You nodded. "Thank-you Lee, I appreciate it".
"I keep thinkin' about it" he continued. "I shouldn't have told you about Arthur. At least not like that. And the truth is I don't think any of those things. I just said them to hurt you because you hurt me. And with Davey..."
"Lee" you said gently. He turned to face you and his big azure eyes were so full of pain and desperation that it almost hurt to look at him.
"It's alright. We both said terrible things we didn't mean".
"So you don't think I'm a brute?" he asked teasingly.
You giggled. "Well...maybe a little".
He scoffed playfully, rolling his eyes.
"A-and you don't think I'm a whore?" you asked him shyly.
"Of course not" he said quietly. "I just knew you it was somethin' that got to you and I regretted it right away". He averted his gaze, anxiously tracing the peeling leather of his seat.
"Listen, Lee" you sighed. "I need to tell you this. I've had a lot of time to think about it all. And I don't know how you're gonna react but I just need to get it out, alright? So just let me get it out".
He nodded silently, studying the peeling seat even more intently.
"With Davey...I know you did what you thought was right, in your own way. And he was a bad man. What he did to me was..."
You trailed off, not wanting to pull that thread. You stared out at the road as you carried on.
"Well, Julie told me he did similar to her. So I don't feel bad that he's gone. His damn plaque makes me feel sick every time I walk by it, but I know he's burning in Hell and for now that's enough. That being said, it doesn't excuse what you did. It wasn't okay. I'm never gonna fully be alright with it, but I am a big girl who understands life ain't black and white and I accept it".
You took a deep breath. Lee was nodding, watching you carefully from the corner of his eye.
"And what you told me about Arthur...that was messed up, too. It broke my heart, Lee. It did. But also, you were right. Arthur did make me feel bad about myself. Made me feel dirty. All the while he was playin' behind my back. He wasn't the man or husband I thought he was. And knowing that...I feel free now. Lighter. Like I don't have to feel guilty and live up this expectation that don't exist. So I'm glad you told me really, even if it was in a terrible way".
You turned to look at him, but couldn't read his face. So you carried on.
"And I'm sorry I said those cruel things, I am. You ain't perfect but honest I didn't mean any of it. I loved the time I spent with you. You made me so happy for the first time in a long time. I don't regret any of it".
Lee nodded. "Me neither".
"And finally" you sighed, this was the hardest one to say. "I'm sorry for how I acted...with the forceful 'stuff' on the table right before our fight. And then breaking up with you right after. It was mean to drop that on you like that".
Lee chuckled. "Yeah...the dumpin' was mean. You're right about that. But honey..."
He turned to face you, his face devilish.
"...you don't ever have to say sorry for the table stuff. Never. My God. That little memory has been sustainin' me for months".
You blushed a deep red, hiding your face behind your fingers. "Lee...c'mon" you whined.
He grabbed your hand, removing it from your face and looking you in the eye.
"I ain't kidding, sweetie. That was unbelievable. I know you were mad but fuck, it was sublime...you made me come without even touching me. I'll be thinking about it on my deathbed".
You groaned, embarrassed as Lee laughed softly. Teasing you like always. You felt a pang of longing for him. For what you used to be.
"I'm sorry too" he said sombrely.
"Maybe we could start from scratch as friends?" you asked hopefully. "Wipe the slate clean. Not talk about any of this again".
Lee looked at you thoughtfully, but then he ran his tongue over his teeth and winced.
"Sorry babydoll, that's just not gonna work for me. I don't wanna be your friend" he said sadly.
You felt your stomach drop but smiled sweetly anyway, hoping he wouldn't notice how crestfallen you were. It wasn't the answer you wanted, but you knew there was always a possibility this was how it would go - too much had happened between you.
"That's okay...I understand. But I'm at least glad we got to talk it out" you said gently, your hand going for the door handle as you sat up to leave.
Lee's arm pressed firmly against your chest, pushing you back down in your seat.
"I can't let you leave here as just a friend" he said earnestly as he looked intensely into your eyes.
"Cos I love you, babydoll. More than anythin' on this earth. I love how you make me feel. I love that you're fuckin' filthy. I love that you're always surprisin' me. I love that you just tracked me down and rather than just wait you hid in the back of my cruiser for no goddamn reason. And I'm afraid I can't let you leave this car and walk outta my life again. I was stupid the first time around but I'm not stupid enough to let it happen again" he sighed. "Guess we're at an impasse cos you ain't goin' nowhere".
Your eyes filled with tears. "Oh Lee" you whispered. "I love you too".
"Well, get over here" he laughed.
You sprang across the seats up onto his lap and kissed him deeply, your hands cupping his face tightly, as if you were somehow worried he'd slip away. He snaked his thick fingers into your hair and groaned softly into your mouth as his other hand clutched at your side. It was the best kiss of your life. Everything unsaid between you was in that kiss. Each lonely night you'd missed one another was in that kiss. Every touch, every bit of love you felt for each other.
He held your waist so securely that you weren't sure you'd ever be able to get off of him. Not that you wanted to. You began to subtly shift your hips back and forth without even noticing, the muscle memory from all your history with him. You could feel his hard length pressing into your lap, nearly chuckling out loud at his consistency – Lee was always ready to go.
It all happened wordlessly, nothing needed to be said. You pushed up off of him for a moment as his hands moved underneath you to undo his belt and you moved your briefs to the side. It didn't have the usual frantic urgency like all those times before, you didn't need it. All you had was time, now. It was all calm and measured, a silent ballet of your bodies, the kiss never broken. He revealed himself from his fly and you lowered yourself gently onto him, burying him to the hilt. You both whimpered at the sensation and you began to rock slowly, finding a gentle rhythm together.
Lee broke the kiss and stroked your cheek as he gazed into your eyes. You stared back and found only love in his baby blues. For the first time, the sex between you was slow and gentle, tender and sentimental. No dirty talk, no power struggle. It was a physical representation of all that had just been declared, all you'd been through.
After a few minutes you climaxed together with your foreheads touching, both whimpering with your eyes closed, fingers clenching tightly onto each other's bodies. You sank your head against his chest, suddenly exhausted. Your mind was clear for the first time in a long time. You both sat in silence, him still inside of you. It was good to be home.
His hand found your chin and he pulled you towards him again, kissing you softly and nibbling on your lip.
You pulled away from him for a second. "If we are gonna do this you gotta stop drinking" you scolded him between kisses, gesturing to the bourbon peeking out of the glovebox.
"Mmm" he moaned softly, his lips dropping to your neck as he worked back up to your face.
"I will. But I always end up eatin' more candy when I'm sober so you might have to go to bed with a fat bastard".
"That's fine, more to love" you whispered. "You know how much I love your extra padding, Lee". You ran a finger across his soft tummy.
"Besides, maybe I can help you relieve your cravings in different ways" you winked.
He grinned back at you. "C'mon babydoll. Let's go home".
🌼 Six months later...🌼
"Does this look okay?" you asked nervously, twirling in your dress. You had two different shoes on as you weren't sure which pair to wear.
"'Course, you look great babydoll" Lee replied as he carefully put on his tie.
"Nothing fits right with this damn bump" you grumbled, looking at your gently rounded stomach in the mirror.
"Hey, that's my kid you're talkin' about" he chided lightly.
"You ready for this?" you asked as you pinned up your hair.
"Not really. I hate these damn community gala things. But it's all part of being the Sheriff. Gotta do my hand shakin' and drink buyin' now the election is done".
"Mmm. And thanking your spouse for playing the role of the dutiful little Sheriff's wife".
"Of course. But at least you don't have to play Bridge anymore".
"Don't remind me" you scroffed. "I just wish I could drink the wine tonight" you sighed.
"I'm not drinkin' either remember? Besides, the wine is always terrible at these things anyway" replied Lee.
"I'd kill for a cocktail...just three more months to go" you mumbled.
"Okay enough bellyachin'. You ready Mrs B?" Lee asked as he straightened his jacket.
You frowned. "It's still early, Lee. We don't have to leave for another forty five minutes or so".
Lee nodded. "Mmm. But I was thinking we could make a detour to our favourite dirt road. See how the cruiser feels on ya". He smirked, slapping you firmly on the behind.
"Lee!" you gasped, laughing. "We don't need to do that anymore. We're married! We have a baby on the way! We have a big comfy bed!"
"I know that" he chuckled. "But why not. For old time's sake?"
You met his gaze in the mirror, returning his wicked grin.
"Okay...you're on Mr B...But bring the cuffs..."

Imagine Me & You
Tumblr media
A Jake “Hangman” Seresin fic.
First time writing TGM fanfic - please be gentle.
Jake stumbles across a woman on base that seems to enjoy the finer things in life... just like the future he’d like to build - with her in it.
Intro: Red Bottoms, Blue Box
The blessing and the curse of California is that the weather never really changed – at least not the same way it did in the Midwest. It lazed between the mid-70s and mid-80s, usually sunny and on an odd weekend, a whisper of rain if you were lucky. That was definitely the hardest part of the west coast that Mia needed to adjust to – that and the traffic.
Though her past three years in Malibu had prepared her for the weather, it was a far cry from her home in Omaha – a home she hadn’t visited in the last five years, at least.
One of the many blessings of Miramar was the ability to drive her father’s red 1973 Jaguar XKE, which wasn’t cut for the brutal cold and snow of Nebraska winters.
Like today, as she wound the classic, red two-seater down the road, she often felt like she was on another planet. Especially now as the base was quiet with limited staff around. But she knew that would be changing shortly. With warning from her directing attorney, she had the information that several aviators would be arriving on base within the next few weeks for an indeterminate amount of time. Sure, there were typically additional members hanging around the base for training or part of their stationing, but it could be quiet.
She was told it would no longer be quiet – and she welcomed it. As a contracting legal advisor and newly minted attorney, working on base in Fightertown, USA, was something she never saw herself doing.
However, after finishing law school at Pepperdine and without a family to return to in Nebraska, she moved as close as she could to where she needed to be – near her grandmother who was in a memory care facility in Del Mar.
Mia had no draw to the Navy, military or anything in the orbit of the armed forces. She wanted to be a short drive from grandma Dorothea and for now, was still pleased with living in California. The job posting was simply one that populated on her feed after setting up several alerts to her email after getting the seal of approval from the California Bar.
Her superior, Lt. Gen. Bozek, was a kind and understanding man, and didn’t treat her differently for being a young woman that was not enlisted. She could learn a lot from him, and at least for the last six months, had made a career in the military appealing as a civilian. She had her own private office on base and a moderate walk from other buildings, allowing her peace and quiet to do her job – which was primarily procedural review and small civilian-involved cases, along with assisting Bozek with any projects or cases he may need a hand with.
They worked from 9-4, cut off early on Fridays and occasionally his high-school-aged daughter would send him to work with a box of homemade cookies. He also ensured that she was treated with respect by all they encountered. He had warned her it was different for contracted civilians on base, and to be fair, it was a male-dominated base, but she never felt uncomfortable or unwelcome.
However, there were a few places on base that she hadn’t quite worked up the confidence to visit quite yet, including the NEX, or commissary.
There were many ways that Mia knew she was an outsider on base, and though she was doing her best to assimilate in her personal and professional life, something about the NEX gave her anxiety.
However, today was different. And Lt. Gen. Bozek knew it.
“You’ll be great! It’s just a grocery store!” He called as he waved her out of the parking space in front of their brick-and-mortar.
“I can do it!” Mia called back with a laugh, but positively shuddering internally.
She normally did most of her grocery shopping at Whole Foods off base, not far from her condo, but it was in the opposite direction of the base from her home and she needed two things to make a recipe for dinner tonight.
So she’d take her chances at the commissary.
Sure, she’d driven by it many times, and it surely looked just like any other store, but there was something about its presence that didn’t seem like she belonged. Her ID card told her otherwise.
Walking in, she popped her AirPods into her ear and dialed in the Bloomberg Law podcast. Though she came in simply for two lemons and a carton of heavy cream, by nature of habit, she grabbed a small push cart and started wandering up and down the aisles.
Now, with a basket filled with lemons, raspberries, feta, rosemary, capers and heavy cream, she turned toward the dry goods. Whole Foods had a lot of great things, but didn’t have Kraft Mac ‘N Cheese.
Turning a blind corner to the pasta and rice aisle, she came to an abrupt stop as her small cart stopped just an inch short of another living body.
“Sorry!” She squeaked, not bothering to take out her AirPods, looking up at the shopper. She carefully maneuvered her cart around him, but heard his voice in a soft muffle from beneath her podcast. Nearly passed, she popped out her left ear. “What was that?” She asked.
“There is a speed limit to those things,” he commented with the faintest hint of a smirk. Mia gave a sheepish smile and a lame exhale of a laugh.
“Sorry about that,” she repeated, giving him one more look before plugging her podcast back in and moving forward down toward the opposite end of the walkway. She was oddly emboldened with confidence, a contrast to her feelings upon arrival. At the end of the day, she was just here to get some lemons… and Kraft Dinner. Now hearing only the click of her heels and June Grasso’s voice, she scanned the aisles for what she wanted.
They had plenty of thick ‘n creamy, but where was the three cheese? Finally spotting it up on the top shelf, she rose up the few spare centimeters her heels hadn’t already elevated her and reached out her arm. With the first three boxes missing, she was having just a small difficulty grabbing what she wanted.
Rolling forward on her toes again and failing, she was moments from settling for Velveeta shells when a hand appeared her in periphery. Once again, the voice was muffled.
“One or two?” The man asked again, Mia hearing him clearly with her AirPods now in her empty hand.
“Two, please,” she replied. She paused her podcast with a squeeze before committing her attention to her helper. “Thanks, the heels only take me up so far.” She smiled, receiving the boxes. At 5’6, she needed the help she could get, and her nude Louboutins could only help so much.
“Red bottoms and a blue box,” he winked. She took a moment to scan the helpful stranger. Perfectly coiffed blonde hair, teeth from a Crest ad and green eyes that rivaled an exotic succulent. “A winning combination.”
She spared a glance down to his own basket – chicken breast, white rice and frozen broccoli.
“Disciplined,” she commented.
“Something like that,” he replied. “Jake Seresin.”
“Nice to meet you Lieutenant,” she dropped the two boxes into her little basket, not cluing away too much from his badge.
“I’d love to return the sentiment…”
“Mia,” she began – “no Lieutenant, though,” she added.
“I put that together myself,” he said, eyes glancing down to her cart and taking in the other, fresh ingredients. He longed for dinners at upscale steakhouses and seafood on the water.
“Thanks again,” she said, bidding him goodbye and turning the corner.
He wasn’t finished, but he’d let her go this time.
Upon arriving back home at her condo, nestled on the top floor of her building, she put away her few commissary items and began to work on dinner – chicken picatta and a raspberry feta salad.
“Hi sweetheart,” She crooned, pleased to see her baby brother’s face on her phone.
“Hi Mimi,” Jack Thomas replied, looking worse for wear with rumpled hair and nap imprints across his cheek.
“You just wake up?” She asked, tending carefully to her chicken cutlets.
“Yeah, we had a five a.m. run this morning and I had to go straight from weightlifting to class,” he replied, rubbing a hand across his face.
“Homework time?” Mia prompted.
“The boys and I are going to the tutor rooms in a bit to get some work done,” he trailed. “We go to Omaha next week,” he added quietly. Mia gave her brother her undivided attention. “You’ll be great, Jacky,” she encouraged. Even now, so many years later, it was hard to return to Nebraska.
“Thanks Mimi,” he mumbled. “Can I still come out to see you in July?” He asked – a few months out.
“Of course, Jacky, you know you’re always welcome,” she encouraged. “Just tell me the dates and I’ll book your ticket. I’ll even pick you up in the Jag,” she winked.
“Sounds good, I’m going to change quick before Timo and I take off,” he said, life coming back into his voice. “Love you, Mimi.”
“Love you too, Jack Jack.” She blew him a kiss before he ended the call.
Wrapping up her dinner, she brought her plate out to the little bistro table on her deck, looking out as she enjoyed her meal. Absently, she wondered if she’d see Lieutenant Seresin again.

Note
will our stan-y pooh ever get to see kyleys notes?
so, i got an ask like this a while back and was going to answer some variant of it earlier, but held off so i could develop the lore a bit more.
because i always knew that stan would eventually be made aware of kyle's letters to him, probably unbeknownst to jerseykyle, but i wasn't sure when i should have that happen or under what circumstances the reveal fall, bc really i didn't want it to feel randomly shoehorned in or feel like a cheap after thought, y'know?
i wanted, nay, needed stan coming across kyle's special stan diary entries & reading his letters, to have a strong significance to the story because the letters are such a large part of r.m. and letters in general/the act of writing a letter is such a personal intimate thing, not just for kyle, but even when other chars write things in the story.
but more on that later...
back to jers & his love letters to his *dead* sbf.
a/n: this is a very long post that you, like all my silly, silly posts, have no obligation to read, but please clap! uncle nina finally wrote an ask meme that she feels very proud of! and if you like long posts, like a very sweet anon told me once upon a time, you might like this!
so without further ado, i hope you heal, rem(ember) to smile, pendejos and of course, my darlings, as always...
please enjoy...
the very worst part of your day. ;)
so with the letters, i feel like it's imperative to note ( haha, see what i did there? ) that they're not all love letters or letters of love to stan. honestly, kyle writes in it nearly every day and actually uses it as more of a daily writing exercise to keep him grounded: a tool he can utilize throughout the day to keep track of thing —especially given that the extent of his ptsd/clozapine stole kyle's eidetic memory.
so actually, a lot of the pages are nonsense, notes he started and never finished…
…grocery lists of things that need to be replaced.
sadly, several of said grocery lists are usually followed by a dream list of grocery itineraries of the ingredients he would buy if he was rich or finally healthy, followed by things like tea and top ramen, things he'd actually eat or, sigh, regurgitate and stare at until they disgust him.
worse over, a lot of these catalogs as finished sad, scribbled journal entries that silently speak to his experiences in grocery stores and how their both like heading to his execution and going to the amusement park. because he's surrounded by all this lovely food so when he's fasting and slowly starving himself, he eats with his eyes.
other times, when the medicine makes him lethargic and light-headed, he lets himself get carried away in a little fantasy, a shameful secret, a silly guilty pleasure where he pretends like he's getting ready to cook a beautiful, delicious dinner for a boy that he loves, someone like stan, and gathers ingredients via a recipe he found online, planning to use some fancy techniques he saw on masterchef to impress his dream boy, feeling the smooth, scalet flesh of the roma tomatoes until he finds just the right ones to put in his shopping cart,
breathing in the soothing, earthy scent of fresh basil, imagining tickling the tip of stan's nose with it playfully when he goes to sniff, the cacophonous, melodious sound of stan's squeaky laugh and the dizzying scent of cinnamon that fills his mouth as stan leans up to kiss him in the produce section, gathering the pine nuts he might need to craft the perfect pesto sauce, imagining feeding the small, spiced, succulent spirals to his stan, who is alive and well, and sighs in elation, smiling that 1000 watt stan marsh smile, his beautiful face flushed from candlelight, a little box wine and a lifetime of love.
...then the sprinklers go off and douse him, splashing him in the face like some kind of rude, watery wake up call, the screech of the grocery cart sounds nothing like stan's laugh and neither does the ugly voice that cracks over the PA system in the store announcing that there is only thirty minutes left before it all goes dark and the check out lanes close. so kyle frantically rushes to buy the things he needs in the real world, where his sweet stanley marsh is dead, with his ashes scattered to the wind, grabbing paper towel rolls and coffee pods and green apples for the pie marjorine wants to bake that kyle will never eat. and after he checks out with a bag full of groceries and an empty stomach that growls at him, reminding him of the monster he's become...
he walks over to the gas station, and purchases a packet of american spirits, the blue box that reminds him of the lovely color of his stan's eyes before they turned a cruel, glassy grey as the weight of his death and the rigamortis set in, then pitch black from hell fire, admiring the pretty sheen of the package, almost silver in the moonlight, that he thinks, in his disillusionment, look almost like the tiny silver specks that swam in stan's eyes like silverfish.
along with a bag of skittles, where he picks the best ones out, feeding the rest to the birds, who might not eat them either — there's a small comfort in knowing that, that as lonely as he feels tonight, they share his sick sentiment — his legs swinging off some bench with graffiti and the names in hearts of people who can love scratching at his arms, taunting him, as he, with a cool, surgical precision, separates the red out of the rainbow and sucks the red 40 and delicious cherry coating off each one like a popsicle until they look as grey and lifeless as he feels inside, his precious fantasy shattering all around him as he remembers he wasn't meant to be sweet or soft or swirl pasta pleasantly in a pot...
for hideous creatures born of hatred...
...were not meant to love anything.
but i fear, friends, that that is not the worst of it. that there are even bleaker entries, where kyle's hand writing is not perfectly printed, but rather, is very chaotic and disorderly, rushed, with words scratched out, written in a hurry...in fear he might not have much time left. :(
tw for mention of suicide
there is one entry in the stan journal that is particularly unpleasant, unsettling and haunting, where kyle writes stan his last will and testament. it features a kyle who stands so tall and fearsome, scared absolutely shitless as he tells stan ‘he did a bad thing’ and that he is frightened and doesn't know what to do. he says it was a moment of weakness, which disgusts him like himself for being such a worm, and that he felt the world a cruel dark place and that looking into the light would be like looking into stan's eyes and that...he misses him.
and wanted to be with him.
but that stan wouldn't want that. no, stan would be horrified. just like he is as he scrambles to form sentences in between shallow breaths. he took a lot of pills, it was a stupid thing, but it seemed smart at the time, he remembers one time that stan oft wondered how someone so smart could be so stupid at the same time — he told kyle that when stan told him that he had a crush on him in sixth grade and kyle had no idea even though he was extremely obvious about it — but that it would ruin his mother and ike's life, his a-hole father would call him a disappointment, a blight or burr on the broflovski family tree, and that tweek would be home in an hour and find him there and that he would probably never recovered from seeing him in that state. and that more than that, selfishly...
…he's absolutely terrified of death.
however, the entry ends a couple lines later with kyle assuring stan that he is alive and well, he knows this because his knuckles are torn to bits and bright red, sore and stinging, ( and also because stan is still a book and not the body of his favorite boy/super best friend ) and that really...it's a good thing, he supposes, he has years of experience...
...throwing things up. :(
i hate everything about this; fuck my life.
but all this to say, in way too many words like verbose jerseykyle, that the stan journal entries are extremely varied in notation and speaking of notes, or notable notes, that the letter that kyle wrote on stan's 21st birthday is among those letters...but the whole thing was so hideously embarrassing to him, that he'd ripped the pages out and had planned to throw them away...but forgot...fuck you, clozapine... and fell out of his notebook sometime during the south park trip.
jimmy, having no idea what the letter might be attached to, only saw that the letter was addressed to stan...gave it to him without thought.
stan read the letter, which devastated him, but also was the most beautiful and precious thing he'd ever read and stashed it away, like the secret that he had it in his possession, of course, telling kyle would only drive the wedge further between him...as he yearned. :(
but the contents of the letter return...at the end of our thrilling tale.
which, i want to remind you all again, especially our new readers, which...oh my god? i'm. like, seriously Shook, but mostly excited that this blog has more traction and interaction than it even did when i was actually writing my fanfictions! hello, new friends! welcome to hell! but back to what i was trying to relay, which is that my fanfiction can often be...very, very dark. they explore a lot of mature and macabre themes, things that the show set up very nicely but bc it's a comedy, were not really explored and, in my humble opinion, were kind of bastardized and written immature and in very poor taste by matt and trey, and...ofc, this is my spin on all that, and my spin is that these serious topics should be handed with care with authenticity and that often means that they will be...gruesome.
in the vein of gruesomeness, we readers, find out much later on during the south park portion of the story, while the fanfiction is set up to seem like the biggest secret/apex of the fic is kyle finding out who stan is...that was actually a curtain that hides the real meat and potatoes of the fanfic aka what swirls beneath the surface of a sleepy mountain down and the scandal that rocks it out there in the rockies.
specifically ( which is where the mackey's lackeys aka kyle's crimina laur classmates on his special case team/group, come in ) the dissappearance of a south park resident from well before stan's...
which we come to find via sonrisa/sharon marsh's personal diary which was stashed in a secret hatch in sharon's guitar case, one of the few things stan took with him from the house before setting the whole thing blaze...makes mention of one south park res in partic...
dr. tom, of tom's rhinoplasty.
publicly, the owner of beloved town business
...sharon's secret secret lover.
in these letters, stan comes to find that sharon and tom had plans of running away together, that she would never forgive herself for leaving her children behind with that monster, but that tom would fake his death, leave michelle and stanley his generous savings and his business in his will and that would start over...some place kinder.
they had planned to meet at mabel...
...but tom never came.
the town just assumed that the man had disappeared, skipped town for some reason or another...but stan and co...are not so sure.
so using sharon's letters, their sleuthing abilities and the crows, which, a sort of symbolic point of the fanfic is sharon calling stan cuervo for his shiny, oily black hair, his lovely singing voice and because stan fed the crows/ravens ever single day while randy shooed them cruelly off the properly and ravens...
rem(ember) faces. ;)
...and despite his new name, his now blue hair, all his piercings and being all grown up, the crows remember stan's kindness...and lead him to things. they show him clues and are a useful tool in getting to the bottom of tom's cold case...or rather...*cough*...
his murder.
which all comes to a head one very fucked up, winter night when a gun is pulled on ravenstan and right as he's about to get shot...
jersey jumps right in front of him…
…catches the bullet in his chest.
( this mirrors when stan took the hockey puck in the face for kyle )
it's a very gruesome traumatic to-be crime scene as jersey lays there bleeding out in stan's arms, who speaks to him softly thru his grief
( i don't have all the dialogue or everything blocked out, but i did start some snippets of dialogue in this cruddy post over here, lol )
and at the very last part of that excruciating exchange, stan is cradling kyles head in his hands and tells him to stay with him, because they have a shitty apartment to share together, lots of kyle nagging stan to pick his dirty towel up off the floor when he forgets for the umpteenth time, and delicious dinners that kyle will cook, slow dances in front of the refrigerator ala taylor swift like the one they shared at the sadie hawkins dance, that their second child, because the first one was the egg that they took care of together in third/forth grade, will know how to speak spanish and yiddish and that together, they'll make up for lost time...and have a long, lovely life together as stan's sabelotodo...and kyle's zeeskiet </3
and finally...while kyle is waning in and out of consciousness, stan sings to him a special little song, just like heaven by the cure, which is kyle's favorite ( in lady on the way to the diner where part three of the ravesey hate takes place, kyle sang along to it on the radio...with the pronouns changed...perhaps with a certain person in mind...and please note it was a lovely, lovely song...jersey actually has a beautiful singing voice, but the only audience he ever entertain is his shampoo and conditioner in the shower )
and stan just sits there, holding the love of his life, like if he held him tightly enough his pieces would come back together and sang to him, only getting halfway thorugh the second 'i'll run away with you' before kyle's eyes closed completely and his body went limp.
...they pulled ravenstan away from kyle kicking and screaming, swearing and sobbing hysterically...it took three emts to do so.
later on, in the hospital, while kyle is fighting for his life :(, bebe entrusts stan with kyle's special journal and tells him to read it. stan does, in spite of it being extremely difficult for him, both emotionally and for the simple fact that despite kyle's handwriting being lovely, immaculate, beautiful and neat just like him, it is also teeny-tiny and written entirely in cursive which, when you have as severe a case of dyslexia as ravenstan does, makes reading cursive a near impossible task. but then, stan believes in the impossible, which means he believes that his kyle will come back to him the same way he had just a month ago, though that feels so faraway now. like kyle, who though he's a mere pace away from the chair stan sits in across from his hospital bed, stan still feels is not close enough as he turns to on the next available page in kyle's therapy diary, and in stark contrast to kyle's cursive calligraphy, slants stan's chicken scratch which practically terrorizes the strict, dashed guidelines, stan starts to write kyle a heartfelt letter of his own, only taking breaks between lines to kiss the top of kyle's head and stroke his cold cheek.
the beginning of said letter, goes something like this:
Tumblr media
oooOOooufff, that makes me want to cry so bad!
but anyways!
shortly after that, stan gives him a rundown of what he missed while he's been asleep. stan tells him that his hair is short now, a lot of his hair was matted and got covered in blood from his gun shot wound, :( or got caught in the myriad of dumb, gaudy emo boy pins that stan affixed to his jacket, which made it difficult to take off when the doctors needed to operate on him; so to make things easier, they just cut kyle's hair. he jokes that kyle is probably going to hate it and say that he looks like justin freakin' bieba' or lil orphan annie or shirley goddamn temple, but that stan thinks he looks very cute c': ( aw ) and that it frames his gorgeous face nicely with all the thick, ginger ringlets curling around his cheeks and the tips just barely kissing the sides of his jaw, where stan has left several of his own as a little gift for kyle when he wakes up...ones that, stan hopes,
kyle will eventually return. </3
he boasts playfully that while kyle was the one playing hero, stan was Actually the one who saved the day after all, or, his abuelito's gay ass ww2 jacket which kyle was wearing at the time of the accident and that because of it's thick, leather material, the speed of the bullet slowed down and saved his life ( in your face, dummy ) right before it reached his heart and obliterated that important artery. and that that heart, that stan loves with all his because it's attached to his favorite boy in the entire world, beats on, faintly...but still there.
stan calls him a stubborn bastard, on account of his refusing to die.
he tells kyle that everyone comes in to visit him in shifts through out the day, notably his mother and ike, who both weep and wish for his speedy recovery. stan lets kyle know that sheila keeps telling him to 'go home and get some sleep, orev. he'll be here when you wake up.' but that he wants to be here when kyle wakes up and won't budge.
he guesses he's a selfish bastard too and kyle's rubbing off on him.
stan writes that he brings sharon’s guitar to the hospital room and sings to him every day, sometimes its the cure or acoustic abba or taylor swift, even though kyle, a stubborn bastard as we mentioned, claims not to like her. he also sings kyle a lot of secret stuff just for him, written about him in private and that when kyle wakes up, during the summer, he's gonna take kyle on tour with him and kiss him in every country and continent, and that crimson dawn's next album is going to be filled with sappy love songs all about him that are going to make him so embarrassed and sick to death of him that he'll wish both he and stan actually died. and that sometimes hoards of excited children in the hospital come in to sing to him to leave him lots of flowers, letters, trinkets, odds and ends...and tell him stuff that maybe...he can hear? it's stan's wishful thinking, of course, but then, he's the dreamer...even though this is his worst fkn nightmare.
as an homage to peppermint, stan also tells kyle that he reads to him often, tries to do funny voices but kyle is better at it, y'know, since he has a funny voice that stan would like very much to hear again, the most beautiful sound in the world that makes his synesthesia light up. he tried to read the books in kyle's messenger bag, lots of dense, archaic, academic boy stuff written by old, dead russian authors, but that they're kinda..depressing? and he's not a very good reader, so he started reading him children's books and ya novels, specifically percy jackson which they read as kids together in stan's tree house. stan says that kyle reminds him so much of annabeth who is super smart and cool, even though he looks more like rachel dare, and that he knows that kyle would say he's a dead ( haha ) ringer for percy, but that he's no hero... and if he was, he would've saved ky. :(
he does not tell kyle that he's hooked up to an iv drip that feeds him nutrients through a system of tubes that are actually helping him retain a more healthy weight because that would trigger him. but stan is secretly so grateful and even though he's pale as a sheet...
but stan thinks that he's absolutely radiant
and glowing. :')
there's lots of other stuff written in this letter that stan writes that i hopefully will write and share with you all eventually...if i ever have time between working and being a depressed idiot...ravenstan calls jersey mi sabelotodo a lot ( awww x2 ), tells him about all the stuff he wants to do with him...detailing some scenarios that pc principal would *naught* approve of...that everyone misses him, but no one more than stan, who fell asleep writing the last part of his letter...
with his head on kyle's shoulder,
…snoring loudly and obnoxiously — the way kyle loved.
regrettably, some of the words stan wrote are illegible, which, the whole Goddamn Thing is fucking illegible because stan is illiterate and his handwriting is hell ( kyle can read it though, bless him ) but mostly because stan cried a lot writing in and his tears smudged a lot of the words on the pages...which do smell lightly of spiced apple cider, fireball ( stan drank a lot from stress :/ ) and...as for metal, that once kyle wakes up, he will gladly spend the rest of his life cutting kyle's lip open...on that god awful can-opener he calls a lip ring. <3
anyways, my dearest darlingest! i hope that answered your question. i realize it probably wasn't the short, sweet, heart-warming answer that you were hoping for, but i am a hurt/comfort angst queen so i think we all know by now that that's not how i rock and roll. ;)
but everyone say i hope you heal jersey.
we love you, baby. :(
-uncle nina, who is short-circuiting my computer w/ my leaking face
it's that goddamn branch in my eye again.

HIIIII!!! Oh my gosh ok I'm in love with the ALL the prompts but can I please get #21 with none other than Steve the Hair Harrington? Thank you!! I love you so much babes ❤️
absolutely! enjoy <3 (0.9k)
21. cinnamon, a welcome sign, a well worn leather jacket
Autumn had taken over Hawkins almost overnight. The leaves turning shades of amber and gold, falling off of trees and waiting to be crunched on sidewalks. The days were breezy, autumn spice whistling through the air. 
The month of October was arguably your favorite to experience in the tiny town you call home. Pumpkins on stoops and in the window fronts of your favorite stores. Cinnamon brooms in the entryways of the grocery store and your front porch. 
The fall made working at the local bakery all the while for you. Seasonal recipes being baked almost daily, pumpkin loaves and chai cookies. The bakery was always like stepping into a warm hug after being in the cold embrace of the wind outside. 
Steve’s only gripe with the season is never being able to keep any of the good horror movies in stock. The shelves are usually empty, save for the estranged one or two that nobody seemed to want. 
The welcome sign on the window is turned to close when you pull into the parking lot on the second Thursday of October. A spare pumpkin loaf sits in the passenger seat of your car, still warm on the bottom. It’s made your car smell like autumn, warm spices lingering in the air. 
The scent follows you out of your car and up to the front of Family Video. Steve is nowhere to be found at first glance through the windows. You pull on the door, rap your knuckles against the glass twice when it won’t budge. The loaf helps warm the icy tips of your fingers as you wait for Steve to come. 
You can see him appear from the back of the store, footsteps quick as he hurries to let you in. The lock clicks and you step to the side, Steve pushing the door open and ushering you in. He locks the door behind you. 
“Was just finishing up. I’ll grab my stuff and we can go,” he says, squeezing your arm. He presses a quick kiss against your cheek as he passes by you. You wait by the front of the store, taking note of the empty horror section. Steve rounds the corner, jacket in hand and keyring hanging out of his front pocket, shutting the lights off as he goes. 
“I brought you something,” you say when he gets closer, holding the small loaf behind your back. He stops in front of you and raises an eyebrow, arms folding over his chest. He’s not wearing the vest anymore, you notice, just the cozy sweater you had picked out for him last week. It makes you smile. 
It’s dark now in the store, just the moon and the streetlights on the corner to help you see. Steve gives you a once over, eyes crinkling a little when he notices the leather jacket you always wear when the air starts to chill. It’s well loved and worn from time, been with you when you first met and shared your first kiss. 
“What’d you bring?”
You bring your arms to the front, holding out the loaf of bread for Steve to take. “Pumpkin loaf. Had one left over when the bakery closed and I know how much you love it.”
The grin that takes over Steve’s face is as bright as the moon, he feels lovesick and warm over the fact that you always seem to think of him. Almost two years together and loving you is as easy as ever. His fingers brush yours as he takes it, holding it in the same hand as his jacket.
“Have I mentioned that I love you?”
“Not since this morning.”
“Well, I love you. Maybe even more than this pumpkin loaf,” he teases at the end, eliciting a giggle and a half hearted eye roll from you. Steve unlocks the door, letting you step outside first. You shove your hands into the pockets of your jacket, rocking on your heels a little as you watch Steve lock up the store for the night. 
He straightens when he’s done, finger stuck through the hole of his keyring. You can feel the bulk of the keys against the small of your back as he walks you to your car, despite it being only one parking spot away from his. He goes so far as opening your door for you after you unlock it. 
“I’ll see you at home?” he asks, hand loose around your wrist and thumb rubbing against your pulse point beneath the sleeve of your leather jacket. You nod, a soft smile on your face. 
Steve leans down to press his lips against yours, nose bumping your cheek. Your hand comes up to press against the side of his face, the skin on his face still warm despite the chill outside. He can smell the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg lingering on you when he pulls back, the tips of your noses brushing. 
“I love you, too, you know that?” your voice almost melts into the plush of Steve’s lips. His nose rubs against yours. 
“‘Course I do,” he says, kissing you once more, languid and tender. It makes your head spin, your heart beat harder against your chest, your stomach knot together in the best way. 
Perhaps your favorite part of Autumn is getting the reminder that you get to love Steve through the changing of the seasons year after year. With every leaf that falls from a tree, you fall deeper into him each time.

allie's writing celebration!

'She was the prettiest zombie I had ever seen. Stumbling through the aisles, restocking the shelves like her limbs were on auto pilot. Her expression never changed; she had the same dull grey eyes that matched her grey polo shirt and black jeans. The only color she had on her was that long pulled back mop of gold blonde hair. Hair like that would make Rapunzel jealous.'

A Lost Boys OC x David idea.
Part 2
David sat on his bike, leaning forward arms crossed over the handlebars with his chin perched on top. He sat under the only broken light in the cracked Grocery store parking lot so as not to be spotted. He had been coming here for some time now, watching this mystery girl with great intent. While he was used to strolling the busy boardwalks it was about this time when he could find her. She never visited his turf so they never had a chance to chat. He didn't even know her name. Something about her lifeless expression and slumped posture made the vampire curious. He knew other supernatural beings existed but could humans be dumb enough to hire an actual zombie and never know? No, she was a human that mimicked the walking dead rather well. Monotony could do that to mortals. Be doing one job for so long without fulfillment and never being satisfied drained anyone.
It was at this point David perked up. An older man was walking out to the parking lot, coat in hand and handing the keys off to the girl at the door. "....Do not let anyone in here under any circumstances, understand me Miss Pierce?"
"Yessir, Mr. Bayker. Everything will be ready by opening tomorrow."
Bayker nodded and turned heel, heading to the old hatchback-the only other car in the parking lot, besides what David assumed was his Mystery girl's car.
He waited, watching the Boss's car take off and leaving David to enact his plan. Tonight was the night: He had to know her name.
Music droned mutely through the speakers of the grocery store, echoing. The only other sound Evie could hear was the sound of her own sweeping of Aisle 6. It was another boring night alone and still no closer to getting out. Out of this dead end job she had been forced to pick up while she waited for any school to call her back.
The girls' ears perked up hearing the sound of what felt like flour falling on the floor. Evie screwed her eyes shut, tensing for a moment. She had just swept that aisle. Letting her body loosen her feet morosely carried her to the Baking Aisle. There was no flour on the floor. She could have heard-no, her mind was playing tricks on her. It was already past midnight. Girls like her should be out on Saturday nights living it up but here she was.
"All work and no play huh?" A voice echoed.
"H-hello? The store is closed, I'm gonna have to ask you to vacate please…" Evie tensed again. She looked around. There was nobody in the store at all. Nobody except her. Or, so she thought. Out of the corner of her eye, there he stood: thick trench coat, gloves and a platinum spiked mullet to go along with the chillest expression as he leaned against a support beam.
"How'd you get in here? The store is closed and I checked the bathrooms, you need to leave."
"And leave a pretty girl like you here? I could never."
Evie wasn't amused. She studied him for a moment. It was one of the hooligans from the boardwalk her boss had warned her about, one of the ones that was banned from the store for causing havoc, chaos and disrupting customers.
"You need to leave. You're not allowed in here." She repeated.
David didn't reply at first, spotting her name tag.
Evie, he finally knew his mystery girls name.
"Why isn't a beautiful girl like you out there, enjoying herself?" He cocked his head gently to one side, curious and watching every expression cross her face. She was definitely unamused with his antics. She decided to humor him.
"Why aren't you? Isn't there anything better you could be doing than stalking the baking aisle at midnight?"
A soft chuckle crept from his throat. "I could be, sure but everyone deserves to be having a good time, so why aren't you, Eve?"
"It's Evie. And I have better things to do than get wasted on the boardwalk and get crammed between beach goers.You need to leave, leave and I won't call the cops." Evie finally relented, crossing her legs at the heel and leaning gently against her broom.
David stared at her for a good few minutes, taking in her soft eyes and her cute cheeks. "I'll be back tomorrow night, Will you be here?" He finally stood up, heading past her. She smelled like strawberries. Continuing to play it cool, he smiles and headed to the door, sliding the doors open easily. "You never locked the doors by the way."
He chuckled, heading to his bike. "Good night my fair Evie."
"Good night whoever you are…"
And with that, David had the doors shut on him, only to realize he forgot to give his name. He heard the doors lock with Evie stare at him with the same zombified expression as she walked back into the store.
David took off into the night, ready to relive his encounter with her in his dreams.
I will be making a profile for Evie later I just wanted to get this idea out of my head.

I Bite My Tongue It's a Bad Habit Part 1
You Are the Bane of My Existence, and the Object of All My Desires (Happy ending)
Tags: @eddieverse, @alexs-playground, @rlmt1, @qthetherapist
It had been at least three weeks since I left, driving as far as I could on the tank of gas I already had in my car. I made it a few counties outside of Hawkins, got a cheap motel for a few days before I decided to look into a place I could make mine. A few days after being in the motel I found a simple job working the cashier stand at a grocery store, good pay for an easy job. I didn’t even want to think about Eddie, let alone Steve, so I just did my stupid little job and didn’t think of Hawkins. 
There were a few things that happened in those weeks after leaving that I would never know about, not like anyone there cared about me anyway. Steve and Eddie didn’t last long as a couple, Harrington simply didn’t care about the relationship anymore after the honeymoon phase wore off. And so with not wanting to be tethered to a person he didn’t love or care about anymore, he dumped Eddie on the spot.
“What, what do you mean we're over?” Munson had tears in his eyes, slowly welling up before they reached capacity and began to glide down his cheeks.
“I meant I don’t love you anymore, better cut it off before it gets too serious, right?” Steve almost had no emotion on his face as he went back into the video store to restock some tapes. He was still on the clock after all, and Eddie simply got into his van and sat there for a few minutes, thinking about what to do with himself. With no better option he pulled out of the parking lot and began to drive to a house he was all too familiar with. 
Pulling into the parking pad he turned the car off, a little confused why my car wasn’t there already, whatever he thought it was probably in the garage. Then he got to the front door, thrown wide open from when I left that shit hole town, that’s when he began panicking. Did someone break into his house? Where is he? Is he okay? 
“(y/n)? Dude, where are you?” More tears began to well up in his eyes, had his best friend really packed up and left town without telling him? Without a goodbye? Without him? Of course he wanted to stick with me, the one constant of his life from 3rd grade and on. We had always been by each other’s side, but now he was left by himself, sitting on the carpet of the living room I once called home, sobbing. 
“Why do I push everyone I love away?” A few minutes later he began to wail, loudly crying and pounding his fists on the floor and asking himself why he didn’t get to be happy, why did he have to suffer by himself, why did no one care about him? That’s how he fell asleep, too exhausted to continue screaming like he was, he forced himself to his feet, moving forward slightly to lay onto the couch he used to have sleepovers on with me. He didn’t even get to tell me he loved me, not like I would believe it with how he ditched me for Steve.
