She'll watch them go. Wave, smile... and then the moment they're out of view, that smile fades, and she'll return back to the farm with her fingers clutching her apron, swallowing down a barrel load of stupid, dumb, immature emotions.
It happens Every. Single. Time.
Ingo's right... just focus on the farm. On bringing in profit. On BEHAVING. And don't make the same mistakes her father did by getting ATTACHED to people...

CRAZY ABOUT YOU — gojo satoru
Tumblr media
tw: MDNI, f! reader, she/her pronouns used, pregnancy (reader is expecting), established relationship (you’re married), pregnancy freak!satoru, semi-public sex, p in v, unprotected sex, creampie, pet names (baby, love, sweetheart), very very brief mention of somno & oral f receiving, reader wears a dress, he’s a freak, not proofread, wc: 2.4k
synopsis: your husband fucks you during one of your prenatal visits
Tumblr media
your husband is a freak, you know that. but what you didn’t know was how big of a one he could be, for you. you found out — when you became pregnant with his child.
when satoru found out that you’re carrying his child — because he did before you, saw it with his six eyes — he fucked you differently. with a primal urge unheard of, like a man that’s impregnated his wife and is now claiming her again, confirming the fact that you belong to him by slamming it deep inside you. after the fifth (?) orgasm he dragged out of you that night, you asked him through a weary chuckle — “huh, where did this come from?” — and his answer began with a motion of his fingers hugging his balls — “it came from here…”, followed by his other hand caressing your belly “…and went there”, while slowly leaning in to meet your lips, “and i might just lose my mind because, baby — you’re pregnant”
a rather unconventional way to find out you’re pregnant.
if he had any semblance of decency in him before (which is rather questionable) and could keep his hands to himself (to some extent) during certain times and in certain places, it is completely off the table now.
when he wants you, you will know; others around will know it, too. he doesn’t shy away from making it obvious, or more so he doesn’t care if other people notice. what’s there to be embarrassed about? after all, you’re a couple, you do things. it’s only natural. and that pretty baby bump is the perfect proof of it. in all honesty, it gets him off when others know that he’s about to fuck his beautiful pregnant wife once he takes her home.
he's a freak like that, it can’t be helped. even more so now with the way your skin glows differently, with the way you smell, the way you carry yourself and the way your body is undergoing the natural changes as the pregnancy progresses that he finds so beautiful. it all messes with his head. brings out the real freak in him that can no longer keep his urges at bay, not when knowing that he himself brought this upon you. it makes you so undeniably his, for everyone to see and acknowledge. his chest swells with pride…
…but sometimes pride also gives way to greed, to a freakish desire for more of you.
during the rare times you go about to shower without him, he slips into the bathroom. sits on the toilet seat and starts jerking off to you, watching your swollen belly and breasts, moaning loud and clear for you to come to his aid. sometimes you wake up to him holding your hand wrapped around his cock, rubbing himself into your palm, audible pants seeping from his lips as he slowly lifts the hem of your shirt (his shirt that you wear to sleep) — preparing to splatter his load on your pregnant belly; or alternatively, you open your eyes to his face buried between your legs, devouring you like a starved animal… other times, as you make dinner in the kitchen, tenderizing the meat with the mallet on the counter, he comes from behind and presses his hard-on against your ass, shamelessly asking “would you mind beating my meat, too, baby?”
and when you go about to scold him, call him a jerk, a perv, a freak, insufferable while hitting his chest — playfully, because you secretly like it when he can’t contain himself around you — he blames you for it. tells you that you’ve severed him so abysmally that he’s having a hard time now keeping it soft around you (he’s not lying). that you broke him and should take responsibility for it. chuckles fill the room and mix in between your kisses that later turn into breathy moans and pants mixed in between countless of i love you’s and you’re mine and mine only’s.
but sometimes, such as today, he takes things a bit too far…
like,
—you can’t simply fuck your wife during one of the prenatal visits just because the doctor left the examination room for a bit and your dick is rock-hard from seeing your wife’s belly out in the open.
“you have to be kidding me”, you raise your brows in absolute surprise as you watch your husband unbuckle his pants, “now? HERE?”
“please?”, he looks at you, cheeks flushed and eyes of a pleading puppy.
you knew he was up to something from the glint in his eyes as he kept staring at your exposed belly earlier, completely transfixed, only his eyes following the ultrasound probe as the doctor pressed it over your tummy.
“the doctor’s going to come any moment, you know right?”, you try to confirm he is aware that this can go very wrong.
“yes, but so am i — you don’t want me walking around in cum drenched pants, right?”, he purses his lips into a pout, one that’s obviously fake (but it works on you, even if you refuse to admit it).
“it’s not like you’ve never done it before”, you mock.
“that was only one time”, he pouts (this one’s not a fake), “okay, maybe two or three times, but it happens even to the best” (it was more than two or three times)
“aha”
“oi. whose fault do you think it was? you make a man go crazy. i mean, look at me right now, just look — i am standing here with my dick almost out for you, in the doctor’s office”
“so you realize this is absolutely crazy but still you won’t pack your dick away?”
“no, i will not. i’ll die if i don’t get to fuck you this instant. and i mean it, it hurts so much. and the authorities will suspect you did it, you know. because it’s always the wives anyway…..and they won’t be wrong about it”
“you’re hopeless, satoru”, you sigh, giving him a roll of your eyes.
but still, leaning on your elbows you slowly rise yourself from the examination table and sit at the edge of it, removing the towel covering your thighs. spreading your legs for him, you think that you really made the right choice to wear a dress today — less in the way for your husband and another one of his “if i don’t get to fuck my wife, i’ll die” episodes.
“i am”, he saunters over to you, biting his lower hip at the sight of your thighs and the beautiful belly hanging in between, “but i can’t help it when you’re so pretty for me like this, i go crazy”
and fuck, if it doesn’t make you wet the way he looks at you right now as he stops to stand between your open thighs, invading your space with such ease because that’s where he belongs to be. all the signs hint at that, too — the ring on your finger, the baby in your belly and the wetness dripping from your cunt, ready to welcome him in.
“yea, you really do”, you pull the front of his boxers down, just enough to free his cock, earning a low hiss from him upon your hand making contact with it.
“all because of you”, he places his hands under your ass and slightly pulls you to himself. you’re immediately met with where he’s hard, it’s poking and rubbing against your belly.
a moan crawls up his throat and breaks out into a satisfied groan. part of him wants to cum just like this — by rubbing himself against your belly. but god, you smell so good down there that it shifts his desire. now that he’s so close to you — standing right in front of your doors — he can smell it so much better. your scent wafts up from your heat and goes straight to his nostrils, letting his brain register in the most primal of ways that your body is ready for him.
you know he’s noticed the dampness of your panties by the way his smile’s faded into a grin, you can smell yourself in the air around you, too.
“fuck, baby…can cum from this alone, you know? rubbing myself on that pretty belly that i made on you”, satoru whispers as he leans forward to take your mouth into his. his lips are loaded with such intensity that they suck the air from your lungs, leave you moaning into his mouth. the grip he’s got on your ass tightening, his fingers digging into your flesh. “but that won’t do now, so hold on tight”
you comply in silence, wrapping your hands around his neck as he lifts you up just enough to peel your panties down to your thighs, then sits you up again and drags them down your legs and onto the floor.
“just so you know—if someone comes before i do, i’ll just keep fucking you”, he grins at you as he positions himself back between your legs. his words might sound like a joke, an exaggeration of some sort to make it clear how much he wants you right now, but you know better than anyone that he’s pretty serious about it.
“then hurry up, you freak”
his fingers swipe over your cunt — to confirm that you are indeed as ready as your scent gives away — and collect your arousal before rubbing it all over the length of his throbbing cock, mixing your wetness with his vigorously leaking pre.
“open them a little bit more for me, baby”, he coaxes, hands back on your thighs, tapping softly on your skin as a signal to spread them just a little bit more and give him way. you lean back on your hands and push your legs open as much as you can. the motion causing your belly to bump against his cock, squishing it between the two of you, pressing it against his stomach.
“s-shit, baby”, he hisses at the sensation, his body jerks a little and his hips buck forward, against your belly, to deepen the friction, “i can really cum from just rubbing it on you….fuck, that’s crazy”, he laughs.
but satoru stops himself.
his hand moves away from you to get a hold of his cock and help it against your entrance, pushing the head towards your folds before slowly sinking in the entirety of it, bottoming out in you from the very start. there’s no time to waste and he’s got no patience left in him, once he’s in — he’s going all the way.
“nghh, s-satoru”, you whimper at his needy intrusion, but swallow him so easily that your wetness starts to spurt out as he’s starting to dart in and out, trickling down the crack of your ass and dripping onto the examination table.
“fuck, love…look at the way you take me”, he breathily chuckles, head thrown back as he picks up the rhythm of his thrusts, “and you call me crazy, huh…haha, fuck, f-fuc-k” — if his voice was a tad bit louder just now and could keep a steady note, he would’ve sounded maniacal.
“s-shut up….don’t compare me to yourself”, you protest, trying to deny the fact you want him just as bad but the way your walls clench around him proves the other way around. you become who you surround yourself with. he’s crazy to do this to you here of all places. and you’re just as much crazy to let him have his way with you.
you suck him in so deep that his body, caught off guard, jerks and bucks forward. it makes him forget where he starts and where he ends. he wants to let go but also to never stop, he’s fighting so hard but it’s a battle he’s slowly losing. as his pace is growing faster his thrusts are getting sloppier. “shit”, he curses under his breath. his balls are sizzling and he wants to bust so bad but not before he makes you cum.
the tension, the pulsing of his cock and the ridges of his throbbing veins — you can feel them like a heartbeat inside of you, and each time he slams against that sweet spot your clit responds with a beat of its own.
you try to hold your voice back but pants leave through your parted lips as you gasp for air.
“nghh, ’toru…’m gonna cum”, you whimper incoherently as you throw your head back, eyes shut close.
“yea? go on, baby—cum for me. come on, sweetheart—i’ll help you out”, he breathes.
his hands grabbing onto the plush of your thighs with a deadly grip, pulling you closer to help fuck himself into you better. the bottom of your belly is flat against his rock-hard abdomen now and he keeps it that way while ramming himself inside you, rubbing his cock around your sensitive walls, without pulling out. over and over until you squirm and come undone. face grimacing in pleasure and hips jerking from the electrifying sensation as you keep chanting “fuck, fuck, fuck” under your breath as quietly as possible so your voice doesn’t make it past the walls of the examination room for others — doctors, nurses and patients — to hear.
you glance your eyes to him, all disheveled and sweaty as his hips live through the last few thrusts left in them before he implodes inside of you. you hear him grumble how he’s about to fill you up while peering at you with a desperate face.
“f-fuck”, he growls throatily, charging one last time into you before spurting his load inside you. his body shudders from the release he’s been holding back. and he’s pouring too much, his heat spilling and filling your insides. you can feel it all — he’s making a frothy mess of your cunt.
it takes a few seconds after he’s done pouring his seed that his body reigns back control and he stops shuddering. he then looks at you.
“if i pull out now it’ll all spill out, you know? so maybe we should stay—?”
“no.”, you dryly interrupt. “don’t force our luck. put that thing away before someone comes and help me put my panties on”
“but it’ll spill out”, he insists.
“i’ll hold it in, don’t worry”
“oh? you know just the thought alone is doing inhumane things to me all over again, right?”
“satoru. don’t you dare.”

back at it w another dp x dc prompt!! :0
you know the setup; Jack and Maddie go evil mad scientist mode and Danny and Jazz have to run away to Gotham.... except the only adult Jazz can think of that they could go to is their auntie, Harleen Quinzel.
she was the 'cool aunt', their favourite babysitter as kids, and the one who inspired Jazz to become a therapist. more importantly, she knew all about the Fenton's ghost hunting, and that ghosts were even real. Harleen never liked that the kids were being raised on top of a lab filled with dangerous weapons- she argued with her sister, Maddie, all the time about it- and she always told Jazz if their parents ever made them feel unsafe she and Danny could go to her.
but at some point, she just... dropped off the face of the earth. she still sent cards and texts, but she stopped showing up for Thanksgivings and Bat Mitzvahs. this was, of course, after she met the Joker, not that she told Maddie and the kids about that part, just that her work at Arkham was keeping her too busy to visit. even less than sane, she still wanted her family as far away from Mister J as possible.
Jazz knew auntie Harleen lived in Gotham, and she could get her number from their mom's phone. hopefully she still meant what she'd said when Jazz was a kid, and wouldn't mind two traumatised teens showing up on her doorstep.
Harley, of course, is delighted to see her favourite niece and nephew, and Ivy has to physically restrain her from coming after the Fentons with her mallet

✭ ✭ ✭ 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐘 𝐒𝐎𝐍 ✭ ✭ ✭ ft. spider-plush, miles, gwen, pavitr, hobie
summary. 5 idiots in a court room
warning(s). He/Him pronouns, foul language
a/n. A lot of ppl liked my last post, so here’s part 2!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Order in the court!”
The judge, or Gwen, yelled. Banging the wooden mallet on the bench. She cleared her throat before looking at the crowd. Pavitr, Y/n, and Spider-Plush on one side, while Hobie and Miles on the opposing “You can all probably guess why you are all here…?” The chirps of a cricket bounced off the empty courtroom walls, “Okay, we are gathered here for the trial of Spider-Plush, or whatever, I have no idea how court works.” Gwen mumbled, fidgeting with her papers. Hobie nodded, and Miles coughed awkwardly, “Speaking nothin but the truth…” Hobie whispered, with a slight smirk. Gwen snapped her neck in his direction, sending the punk a playful glare. The blonde sighed, “Anyways..”
“HE’S GUILTY, ARREST HIM!”
“Arrest?”
“First off, don’t interrupt the judge. Second, we don’t have the budget for handcuffs that’d keep Hobie contained.”
“Got that right.”
“Y/n no one saw this ‘criminal act’ but you. We don’t even have enough evidence for a court case.”
“I AM A WITNESS!”
“Ok…Pav, maybe we should stay outta this one.”
“HE IS MY CLIENT, I WILL NOT STAY OUT OF THIS”
“YEAH MORALES, STOP HARASSING MY LAWYER”
“HARRASING??”
“wow.”
“We should all calm down.”
“DON’T TELL ME TO CLAM DOWN!”
“YEAH, DON’T TELL MY CLIENT TO CALM DOWN!”
“Come on Pav, we’re leaving!”
Y/n rose from his seat, stopping near Miles. His gaze fixed upon his boyfriend, a stern expression etched across his face. "Morales," Y/n's voice carried a note of seriousness. Miles met his gaze, a mix of apprehension and curiosity in his eyes. "L/n," Miles responded, mirroring the intensity of Y/n's stare. “The child support?” His face contorted into fear “I….forgot?” It sounded more like a question than an answer, but that didn’t stop Y/n from expressing his displeasure. But, his demeanor quickly changed.
“Y’all hungry?”
“Yeah, I could eat”
“Sure! Being a heartless lawyer is hard work”
“As long as I’m not payin”
“When have you ever paid?”
“I don’t believe in givin those big companies money, it’s all goin to waste anyways”
“Ugh, don’t get him started on another rant!”
“Like it or not, you’re gonna need it”
“Yeah, cause beating the shit outta cops is gonna get me into college.”
“It’s gonna get you somewhere alright…”
“Yeah, jail!”
“Alrigh’ stop this slander!”
As the group walked away, their voices gradually fading into the distance, Miles stood there, a smile playing on his lips. He couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and contentment as he watched his friends. But the fleeting moment of solitude was soon interrupted by a surge of excitement, urging Miles to catch up with the others. Without hesitation, he dashed forward, his footsteps quickening as he eagerly joined his friends.
“So, what we eatin?”
“Whatever Y/n wants”
“I’m bringing Margo next time, y’all bitches are lame.”
“HEY!”
“Woah. Couldn’t even wait until we got off government grounds to start cursing?”
“I taught ‘em well.”
“Except you Pav, best lawyer man!”
“Yay! :D”

deranged!reader & her task force (katz's version)
me & ur mother @moongreenlight are genuinely insane. this is basically us if it even care 😞
a/n: fem!reader all military names fake, processes fake; mostly it'd be classified, not just not done...well we wouldn't know for sure. medical shit also real. i’m in both of those fields irl. no i am not a swifty
clinically insane reader doesn’t rampage kill. art has many mediums; regular people choose acrylics, watercolor, culinary, pottery…reader chooses murder. it’s a meticulous process that depends on the person, it’s slow, drawn out. which makes her a great torturer. thing is, she was part of SEAL team tango-8 but focused more on SARC stuff (search and rescue). she knows her way around a suture kit—and, fortunately, surgical instruments.
laswell knew reader for two reasons: odd separation orders and her confirmed kill count. there was barely anything documented about her medical discharge which was weird because 98% of the military is just paperwork (a fucking pain btw). only thing noted was “medically discharged” and “0% disability”. her confirmed kill count? 43. happy to be back in uniform, she skips around the hallways to price, giving him a giant hug and a kiss on the cheek, whispering threats in his ear. “if you ever discharge me, i’ll dip you in concrete to be my custom statue.” a sickeningly sweet smile follows. as he furrows his brows in confusion and bit of horror.
soap tries really hard to like her and he really does. she's so sweet and always tries to include him in things and bakes him cakes and always somehow includes almonds, joking how it's actually just cyanide. soap laughs until he sees her have actual cyanide in the kitchen, carefully dropping it into the batter with an eyedropper. then a tsp of almond extract. it wasn't enough to hurt or kill anyone, but it scared him
he told ghost and ghost goes and investigates. then he sees reader one night, cleaning her instruments, different mallets, scissors, blades and knife handles etc. and they are pristine...not surgically pristine but definitely floor grade. he continues to watch her at 2100, without fail, and cleans her surgical instruments. until he sees her missing from her barracks from her open curtains. he goes and finds her carefully dressing a man like a buck. she sees him and smiles at him beckoning him closer. after he puts an end to that, with cuts and bruises, he goes and tattles to price. reader crying in the prison about how much she'll "miss her uniform" price and laswell speak about it and they finally know what the fuck us going on. they send her out on the field.
its just gaz, a few recruits, and reader in a safehouse. they've captured one prisoner, a soldier of the pmc against them. he's tied to a chair and after gaz runs over his psychological warfare in him. gaz fails and tiredly beckons for reader to come in. he finds her staring dead straight ahead, looking like she was falling asleep with her eyes wide open. he slowly calls out her name, no response. he calls again, same outcome. he taps her on her shoulder and her eyes fall into a "normal" state and smiles brightly at him, "my turns?!" gaz films it, the blood, the slow agony-per laswell and price's request reader starts to skin the soldier. starting with just a silly little joke about cuticles and then it goes higher and higher, the piece of skin never tearing. it's superficial, it barely draws blood. "does that hurt? don't worry, i'll help!" she blows cold air onto the exposed skin, drying out his flesh slowly while the blood keeps it from fully drying. gaz gulps, the camcorder on a tripod next to him. "it's okay, you're not going to die. and if you do...i'll make use of you, no waste! promise! gaz, can you pass me the kerrison rongeur, please?" gaz scrambles around in her kit, metal and metal clinking together in the heavy duty box. "the fucking hole puncher, gaz." she screams at him, causing him to jump. he finds the long, gun-like instrument, its blade pokes and punches together. he hands it to her, the work end first. she yanks it from him, nails scratching his hand in frustration, but that same smile on her face. she takes small chunks of flesh from the man, blood gushing and pools. she digs dipper until she hits an artery, blood splattering over them all. "the mosquito! give the fucking mosquito." she screams as the man in front of them bleeds out. she launches for it in her box and clamps down. the man half awake. gaz's chest heaves up and down, his face in shock and fearful freeze. reader storms out, face falls flat, no more smile, no brows furrowed, just a dead stare in front of her. "pieces of shit, human bodies are."
laswell pulls out any psych eval documents she can find. she finds exactly one set of documents: your medical discharge. price shows ghost and they stare at the replaying video on his monitor. the image of a wide, blank-eyed reader, hair and face dripping with crimson blood, a small clamp clicked to close an artery. they keep her. soap is the one who finds your bloody kit left in your barracks. chunks of flesh, blood, bone... and other bioburden seemingly never there at all. the shiny chromium finish looking as if they were never used at all. reader who failed out of medical school because of the lack of moral and ethics her professors and physcians saw in her. they banned her from residency.
"can i...have him..? please?" "why would you want an execution order? aren't you an interrogator?" "i want to see the peristalsis!" "the fucking what?" "how his intestines move in his body and squirm around like snakes!!!" she dissects the man in a way only a careful surgeon could. doyen clamps closed off certain sections as she sits and animates the movement on her ipad. the man inhales and exhales evenly, a bandage over his throat, eyes wide and dry from the lack of tears.
soap, as empathetic as he is, sees reader in chow, sitting by herself as she stares dead ahead, mind clouded in thoughts. her arms moves a bit, twiddling her thumbs under the table. he sits down across from her, her gaze staring pass him, face unreadable and almost bored looking. "you alright bonnie?" reader's face smiles, her eyes still dead and still as they lag behind the smile she puts on. her eyes squint. "yeah! why?" "twiddling your thumbs there, anxious about your second mission?" she puts her cupped together hands onto the tabletop. her hands unclasp. she twirls the severed thumbs around. "just a lot on my mind, yeah..."
"can i have it?" reader asks when she sees gaz's shiny teeth.
reader takes interrogations very seriously, taking souvenirs for herself. a finger carefully dried out, teeth, an ear, hair, vital organs in formaldehyde, eyes into earrings, tendons as rings and bracelets.
she gave price a birthday present which included a human heart, dried and shrunk in a glass displayed case. "made it myself", she says. "...on your own time, my love?" "yes, never company time!" his birthday is not public imformation.
ghost was missing a pow. he asks reader. "where is he?" "who?" "the prisoner..." "i let him go." "why the fuck would you do that?" "i'm going hunting, do you want to join? we can dress him in the field!"
"i got you flowers, ghost, for your mother's grave." "how the fuck do you know about that?" "you told me!" "i fucking didn't! now tell me who the fuck told you that shit?!" "you did, don't be silly. you told me over a glass of scotch...or many glasses actually!" she giggles as he slams her against the wall.
price wakes up one night, the spine-chilling feeling of a pair of eyes stalking him. he picks up the gun from his nightstand, clicking off the safety. he blinks a bit, vision clearing and seeing a figure in the shadowy corner. "go back to sle-" her body is slammed against the wall, gun to her head. "go to bed, price." "what...are you doing here?" price breathes out, trying to steady his racing heart, popping the gun back to safety. "wanted a piece of your hair."
gaz finds reader in his room after work one day, reader sweeping his house. he changed the locks within a week, locking all external doors and windows. reader leaves him breakfast every morning still. he trashes it after the cyanide incident. he wakes up to reader with a plate of eggs and toast over his bed. "please eat it and don't waste food :("
the task force lives their day to day lives with the feeling of impending doom, paranoia, and a feeling of dread washing over them all at once whenever they catch a glimpse of you. they beg price to remove you, but price would rather not be covered in cement while still alive.

Anthony bridgerton x wife!reader. Maybe his wife has quite a childlike innocence that the women of the ton take to be weirdness and they tend to isolate her but she never knows why. Maybe they’re newly married and she decides to invite some of the ladies for tea but no one shows up and she’s upset because she’s confused and Anthony comforts her and joins her for tea instead to cheer her up.
Hey! Thank you so much for requesting this & for being so patient! This wasn't meant to be this long but it sort of took on a life of its own. I hope you enjoy it <3
Anthony Bridgerton x Fem!Reader
Warnings: none just comfort :)

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every square inch of Aubrey Hall's walls flourished with the season's most stunning flowers, the gardens lush as far as the eye could see. The breeze did little to cool you off from the summer heat as you sat under the tent, sipping your afternoon tea overlooking the meadow alongside Violet Bridgerton. It had been a tedious day of tending to various duties around the household, and you were expecting company from some ladies of society later that evening. It seemed your schedule had been considerably more than full since your wedding a few months ago. Rather frankly, you were just as exhausted as you were delighted in your new marriage to the Viscount. Keeping up with the Bridgertons all while being the latest lady of the house proved to be quite the task. Sure, your introverted preferences to stay within the walls of your home with a good book or spend quiet time in the gardens studying the plants were different than the interests of the ladies of the ton. However, you always tried your very best to keep everyone surrounding you in good spirits while performing your obligations, always looking toward Violet for approval, wanting to stay within your welcome. She was the Viscountess before you, after all. You could only dream of living up to her in your new position. Overseeing every small detail runs smoothly across your home, not to mention the impending weight on your shoulders due to the responsibility of Anthony's sisters coming out in the following seasons. You didn't know how long you could keep this facade up if you were being honest with yourself. But you had standards to upkeep, ways in which the Viscountess held her own beside her husband, and the last thing you ever wanted to do was let Anthony or his family down.
The sun blared upon the exquisitely green grass; surrounding the field on the outer edges were countless trees with blossoming flowers overflowing the gardens. Springtime at Aubrey Hall, indeed, was like no other. You turned your attention toward the Pall Mall game. Your husband stood before his siblings, mumbling something you were sure was some tease towards Eloise, making you smirk. Anthony turned toward the field and adjusted his grip on the mallet before making his final shot. A generous mix of disappointed grumbles and cheers erupted from the handful of Bridgertons as he made the final winning score. Half of them scrambled to debate the shot while the other half stood by, giggling toward them.
Anthony left his siblings to argue among themselves over the game he now reigned as champion over. Eloise was clearly bitter and left feeling she had been made a mockery over this loss after spending her spare time practicing for this very moment. Anthony placed his mallet on the stand alongside the others and approached you. He graciously extended his hand toward you, motioning you to go with him before the both of you bid goodbye to his mama and slipped out of sight and into the grand home.
"Eloise is taking quite hard, isn't she?" You said as he guided you through the doors. "She must have thought her practice would allow her to best you once and for all."
"Having hopes of besting her older yet clearly more skilled brother? Unlikely, my love." Anthony taunted, evidently still on a high from his victory. You stood in the main room while Anthony poured himself a drink, beckoning you to join him before you politely declined.
"I cannot. I am having the ladies over for tea shortly, and I cannot be anything less than perfection for their arrival." Anthony wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you in for a brief kiss. Enough to have you wrapping your arms around his neck and yearning for more as he pulled away just enough for your noses to brush tenderly against one another.
"No moment in time exists in which you are not perfection, my love." Anthony's smile warmed your heart as you relaxed against him. "They will love you as much as I do; I am sure of it." His validation and loving gaze melted any lingering stresses still dancing around in your head. All that was left was to check off some last-minute preparations, and the tea could commence.
The late afternoon sun cast dispersed shadows across the cobblestone path. Anthony strolled into his home since returning from a lengthy afternoon of business meetings and running several errands around town. Anthony had hoped to come home to you excitedly telling him of your afternoon tea with the ladies of the ton. Instead, he found the halls seemed eerily calm for this time of day. He entered the main room and caught you sitting quietly on one of the sofas in a far corner. You curled up beside the unlit fireplace, twirling your fingers anxiously in your lap when you felt Anthony take a seat beside you.
"Sweetheart." Anthony paused before placing his hand in your lap. You didn't know if it was for comfort or to stop you from fidgeting. His warmth was welcome either way. "Is something wrong?" He cautiously asked.
"No one came." The words strained from your throat. "I know your mama and sisters left this morning on a day's travel, but I hoped-." Your voice broke before resuming. "I hoped at least someone would have-." Tears brimmed your eyes, and scattered tears stained across the top of your dress, some still falling down your cheeks. Anthony's hand cupped your face, his thumb gently preventing the tears from their continued flow. He took your hands in his and placed a lingering kiss on your knuckles before standing before you and offering you his hand. Without another word, Anthony dragged you along the halls and out into the gardens. Various flowers bloomed around you, and he brought you to one of the rarer flowers now flourishing on the property.
"What are we doing here?" You questioned while admiring the intricate patterns in which the vine had taken, the beautiful springtime flora temporarily making you forget the catastrophe of this afternoon. Anthony stepped closer from behind, arms wrapping around you as he whispered in your ear.
"It is when I am gazing upon the most exquisitely beautiful flower in the garden that I think of you." Tears again swelled inside you, but for a different reason this time. "The day will come when the world will see the beauty I am fortunate enough to hold near every day. In the meantime, I get you all to myself, hm?" The warmth and comfort of his words and presence enveloped you, brushing away the day's worries and woes with an ease only he possessed. His voice was a soothing balm for your soul that always had a way of convincing you everything would be okay. Because when you were around Anthony, you knew it would be.

*1,700 follower celebration post*
Also, Happy Valentine’s day!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes you loved your dear friend Daphne and other times you didn't, right now for example, you don't. 
Honestly you don’t know how this got brought up (again) but you’d wish she would stop; it’s not going to happen even if she wants you to officially join her family. 
You knew her being the first to marry out of the two of you was going to lead to more of her shenanigans, but this was too much for you. 
You sigh, setting your cup down to look her in the eyes, “I have no plans on being in this season.” 
Her shoulder sagged, “I understand that but-” 
“But, nothing. Daphne, I am more than content with my being staying very much untied to a man. If I happen to meet someone worth it, you’ll know.” 
-
Anthony glances over in your direction and his mind goes elsewhere. 
You’re his sister’s best friend who also became Benedict’s best friend soon after you met the rest of his family. 
He isn’t particularly upset at the fact that you’ve managed to befriend his siblings (slightly better than he could) but, there’s something that keeps bringing a certain idea to the front of his mind. 
“Are you going to take your turn or continue staring?” Benedict asks. 
The eldest shrugs off his brother’s comment. 
Anthony uses the dreaded “death mallet” and once again, manages to pass the others. 
-
Daphne heads towards her siblings before they can scream and shout at her for sitting down instead of taking her turn. 
You sigh, shoulders sagging because you know she means no harm; you know that but, you can’t force yourself to love and care for someone you don’t have feelings for. 
You’d never admit it (out loud or to her) but there are nights where you do wonder how it would be if you did get married to someone you loved. 
The concerning part is how her brother sneaks into your mind; not your closest friend, Benedict, or the third oldest, Colin, and of course not, Gregory. 
No, Anthony is the one to invade your mind and corrupt your dreams with his charming smile and smooth movements. 
And you would never dare tell Daphne or your cousin of your thoughts; no matter how hard she tries to convince you he feels something for you. 
You take a deep breath, returning your focus onto the game only to meet a pair of oak brown eyes gazing upon you. 
You tear your gaze away at the sounds of Violet walking down the stairs, carrying a smiling Augie in her arms earning a smile from you as you observe the happy baby. 
You glance towards her and offer a polite smile, giving her a moment to settle down in the free chair before turning to focus on the young babe. “Hello, Augie,” you greet him with a baby tone and shake his chubby fingers. 
“He’s always taken with you,” Violet comments. 
“I am the one who always manages to search for his mother when he cries for her. Sometimes I believe myself to be a dog.” 
She chuckles, “that’s not it.” 
“Why else would he like me?” 
“You have a natural instinct that he senses. Children know these things.” 
“If that’s what you say.” 
Daphne steps away from the others, wanting to see her child. “She is right, you know.” 
“Not you too,” you groan. 
“You will make a fantastic mother.” 
“Someday.” 
“It could happen sooner than one would think.”
“What are you planning?” 
“Nothing.” 
Anthony stares back at you once more, observing the way you interact with his dear nephew. As he searches for someone to call wife, his most secretive thoughts keep coming to mind. The more he searches and the longer you stay, the more he finds himself wondering. 
His mother continues to help him in his search for a wife albeit reluctantly since she finds herself so fond of you. She’d never explicitly tell him to pursue you but, she could always kindly ease him into the right direction, which is when his disbelief comes to the surface, truly believing you to feel nothing for him. 
He knows if he tried to pursue you and it fell through, he will have ruined a lifelong friendship for his family- as he watches Daphne hold her purple mallet for you to take- he realizes he can’t pursue you. 
Not that he’d ever given it any real thought, but he’d never be able to forgive himself if he was the reason, you stopped coming by. 
You shake your head. 
She puts it in your hand, persuading you into taking her place so she can attend to Augie. 
You step down from the seating area with little energy. 
His sister offers encouraging nods. 
“I see you finally came to join us,” comments Anthony. 
You avoid his gaze- you can barely stand beside him. “Not like I wanted to,” you reply. 
“You’re scared to lose?” 
You scoff, turning to look up at him, “that is not what I said.” 
He smirks, leaning closer to you, “you didn’t have to.” 
You narrow your eyes at him, “we’ll see who’s laughing when I win.” You walk away, taking your turn. You’re satisfied until you sense him behind you. 
He follows you, “for someone who didn’t want to play earlier, you’ve certainly found your spirit.” 
“Or was it a trick?” You smirk, glancing at him when the ball rolls through the metal hoop with ease. “You look nice,” you comment, turning around to walk away. 
Anthony’s brows furrow together, his body takes over as he steps closer to you, standing beside you. “What do you mean?” 
You turn, struggling to find the right words without sending the wrong message. “I only meant you look nice. You know, people- people can actually see your face now.” 
He continues to stare at you. 
“Your sideburns were nice but it- they- people may have assumed you grew them to hide what lies in your heart.”
“And what do you think lies there?” The words escape him before he could process his thoughts. 
“I believe the love for your family and future wife is there, along with the care and compassion you hold for them. I do have to admit, I am a bit glad you shaved.” 
He tilts his head, “and why is that?” 
“I was afraid you would have continued growing them and at some point, they would connect,” you use both hands the gesture from your sideburns to your upper lip, “and you would look as though you were wearing a mask of sorts,” you say with one hundred percent seriousness until you think about it and snicker, covering your face with your hand. 
Anthony is also unable to keep himself collected and joins in. He straightens his posture, “what of you?” 
You take a deep breath, fanning yourself. "What of me, for what?” 
“What do you think lies in your heart?” 
“The same as you, I suppose. Love and compassion for my family and the few friends I have.” 
“What about me?” He asks before he can stop himself. 
“What?” You don’t know what to think. 
“I-” He walks past you, placing his mallet back into place before exiting, wandering to the garden. He needs to get as far away from you as he can in order to clear his mind. 
You don’t understand what’s happened and place your mallet beside his before chasing after him. 
-
He stares at you, half listening to you and his attention moves elsewhere. 
“Are you even listening to me?” You stare at him, wanting to understand him. You’re too into your thoughts to hear the faint buzz. 
The noise sends a shiver down his spine, he knows the noise too well; his nightmares (if he can remember any) always start with the faint buzz. 
He doesn’t move as he searches for it. Sadly, for the eldest child, he doesn’t have to search for long as the small, striped animal floats around you. He prays to whoever is listening to hear his silent prayers for it doesn’t sting you; he can’t lose someone else to the blasted creature. 
“Anthony?” You ask, glancing down when you feel something land on you. You realize why he can’t look away. “Hey, it’s alright.” 
He can’t focus on your words, his mind rattled with the memory of his late father. “Don’t move,” his voice is low and shaky.
“I know, it’s a bee but, it won’t hurt me as long as I-” you close your eyes due to the discomfort you get from the sting, and it sends him into a whirlwind. “I’ll be alright,” you say, still trying to reassure him. You open your eyes to see how pale he’s gotten. 
He invades your personal space, grasping onto your arms. “Are- are you-” He glances back and forth between your face and your wound. His voice is low, far too low for you to understand what it is he is trying to say but you swear you hear him mutter something along the lines of, “don’t move'' repeatedly. 
You know you must calm him down before he can do anything. You reach for him, placing a hand on his cheek, forcing him to look at you. “Breathe, Anthony. I need you to breathe.” 
He can’t say anything, almost as if he’s choking on air. Images of his father invade his mind, filling him with worry and dread. 
You can see he is close to tears. Your voice draws him out of his thoughts. “I promise you. I hope you know I wouldn’t lie to you. I’m fine but I will still have a doctor come and look at it so that it may heal properly. I’m right here. I’m here with you.” 
Anthony’s hands grip your biceps, he notices how swollen the sting site has become. 
“It stung me, but I am not hurting. This has happened before. I will be fine.” 
None of your reassurances are having any effect on him. 
The image of his father taking his last breath in his mother’s arm is enough to make lean in to suck the venom out. 
“Anthony?! What are you-” You cut yourself off at the feeling of his shaky hands trying to remove the stinger. “Anthony, you must stop.” 
“Shut up,” he hisses, trying to stay focused on keeping you healthy (and alive) while fighting to keep his father’s death out of his mind. 
You take deep breaths, you try to push him away, but he is insistent and stronger than you. “I am fine, I just need to see a doctor and I-” 
“Would you be quiet,” he finally lifts his head to look up at you. 
You gulp, “I know- I know what tragedy has happened in your family but, today will not be the same for me.” 
He doesn’t listen and continues to squeeze the area. 
You gasp, eyes widening at the feeling of his hands being so close to your breast. This has gone too far; you must stop this before someone sees. “Anthony,” you place your hands on his chest to push him away once more. 
“Stop it,” he shoves your arms off him. “Let me get rid of the venom.” 
“There is a doctor who can do this and-” 
“The doctor is not here. I am.” He stops squeezing when some liquid begins to spill out of the wound. 
You look down, finding the trail of liquid, “see, you did it. Now, I am going inside to-” 
Anthony pulls out a handkerchief, wiping away the trail. “It’s not all of it.” 
You wrap your hand around his wrist, stopping him from patting you dry. “You must stop this, Anthony. If anything were to have happened, it would have happened already.”
“There is still more,” he mutters, staring at the irritated area. 
“You need to stop.” 
“I haven’t gotten all of it,” he turns, staring at you. 
“Whatever it is you’re thinking of doing. Don’t.” 
“I have to get the venom out before it kills you.” 
“It won’t kill me-” you gasp, seeing the determination in him as he leans forward. You place your hand on his shoulder, keeping his head away but fail to remove his hand. 
The click clack of women’s shoes against the rock pathway alerts you, but you feel as though you can’t move. 
A gasp makes you turn to find his mother alongside your cousin, Mildred (Millie for short), staring at the two of you with shocked expressions. 
Your heart rate increases and gain enough strength to fully shove him away from you, knowing how this looks. 
He glances up at you with a confused expression. 
“Anthony?” Violet calls out. 
His brows furrow further, he looks over your shoulder, “mother?” 
“What is going here?” 
“She was stung by a- a bee.” 
“A bee?” 
“Yes, a bee. I’d told him repeatedly I was fine. I’ve dealt with being stung before,” you say, struggling to keep yourself together. 
“You were stung by a bee and the boy found himself attached to you?” Mildred raises a brow. 
“Don’t look at me like that, Millie.” 
“I’m not, I’m wondering how you think this can be kept quiet.” 
“Kept quiet?” You repeat quietly to yourself. 
“Neither of us would repeat a word of what occurred today,” he argues. 
“That doesn’t mean anything for a woman’s reputation,” Mildred says with an attitude. 
“You do realize anyone could walk out here and spot the two of you, don’t you?” 
He doesn’t say anything. 
“Don’t you?” 
He grits his teeth, “I do.” 
“You should consider yourself lucky that it was us who found you and no one else, rake.” 
“That’s enough now, Mildred,” Violet intervenes. “Let’s,” she takes a deep breath, “let’s go inside and talk about this further. Lady Starlington needs to be seen by a doctor.” 
You can’t stand to be there any longer and turn away from him, walking past the two ladies and Anthony; your pace speeds up before you know it, you’re sprinting back to Audrey Hall. 
Mildred sighs, “now what are we to do?”
“We will all walk back and discuss this,” Violet says. 
“Of course, we are but, what am I to tell my parents? They’ll be curious to know why their niece’s name is in a Lady Whistledown column.” 
Anthony grunts, taking a step towards the two. He passes by them and quickly announces, “we will marry before the end of the season.” 
“Did he say what I think he did?” asks Mildred, watching his figure walk away with wide eyes. 
Violet sighs, shaking her head, “I believe he did.” 
“Did I do the right thing?” 
The mother of the family stops, turning to face your cousin, “what do you mean?” 
“I- I basically pushed themselves together into this potentially unhappy marriage. I know I sometimes I can’t keep my comments to myself but, I swear I had good intentions. It's just- when we came around the corner to see that I- I worry about her. I fear I may have ruined my relationship with the two.” 
“I can’t give you an exact answer but, I can say that as long as you have your cousin’s interest and happiness in mind, the most you can do is hope for the best. They are both emotionally driven people, even if neither wishes to admit it. This will be hard for them, and it may be a test.” 
“A test?”
“To see if they will make good of their marriage. You and I, as well as my other children, have come to realize how they connect with one another. They can’t see it for themselves but there is something there and now is the time for them to see it.” 
“I suppose so. What if they can’t make it work?” 
“Then I fear they will be in a miserable marriage.” 
-
No one else disturbed you after the doctor left. 
You sit at the edge of the bed, your vision blurs; you cover your mouth with shaky hands. You don’t want others to hear if they happen to be walking by. You cry, struggling to catch your breath. 
Everything you’ve been feeling with the last few days is slowly escaping you. Your mother is requesting to visit and marriage situation with Anthony; it’s too much. 
You take deep breaths, aiming to calm yourself down. 
Maybe it would be better if you left and went home or maybe somewhere far from here.
A knock disturbs you from your thoughts. 
You wipe your cheeks, hoping whoever it is will go away but fail as another knock comes through. You take a deep breath and open the door, “Viscount Bridgerton?” 
He lifts his gaze off the floor, “what happened to Anthony?” 
Any curiosity falls from your expression, “your making light of the situation?” 
He shakes his head, “I would never.” 
“I think you’ve done enough today. It’s almost time for bed.” 
He takes a step closer to the door, his hand inches away from being crushed, “I,” he sighs, taking a step back, removing his hand from the door. “I have come to ask if you would have dinner with me.” 
“With you?” 
“I think it would be wise if we talked before anything becomes… official.” 
“Now?” 
“Are you going to use full sentences any time soon?” 
“Why should I? Is it bothering you?” 
“Nevermind that. Are you going to join me or not?” 
“Will there be someone else there?” 
He gives you a reluctant nod, “yes, your dearest cousin, Mildred.” 
“I’ll be down in a moment. I will meet you there.”
“I’ll wait here.” 
“Do you have to?”
“No but, I think it might be good practice for us.” 
“Practice,” you mumble and shut the door. You walk over to the vanity, staring at yourself, wondering how you got into this situation. You snatch the extra handkerchief and pat your face, removing any evidence of your despair. 
You take careful steps toward the door and exit, Anthony leaning against the wall across from your room. He holds his arm out for you to hold. 
You shake your head. 
“Don’t you think you’ve touched her enough today?” 
He sighs, “Mildred.” 
“Who else would it be?” She interlocks your arms together, pulling you ahead of the eldest Bridgerton. “Come on.” 
-
“Do either of you know how to use it?” Anthony asks, staring at the stove. 
Mildred shakes her head, “the maids are always around to do it.” 
“Both of you sit down,” you say. 
“Do you know how to work this?” he asks, sounding surprised. 
“I do. It’s too late for us to have a full meal, instead we can have a glass of warm milk.” 
They sit at the table in the corner of the room. 
Anthony watches as you move gracefully around the kitchen.
“If you keep staring, she’ll catch you.” 
He turns to her, “what?” 
“You’re staring.” 
“No, I wasn’t,” he denies. 
“You can lie all you want but I know you care for her. Perhaps, you always have and never wanted to admit it before and the whole bee situation was a ruse so that you could stop being a ninny and marry her instead.” 
His jaw drops, he doesn’t know how to respond. “I did not-” 
She waves him off, “do not lie Anthony, I know you love her and have for some time now, only you must realize it now than later in your marriage. I do not want her… or you to be unhappy. Oddly enough, I seem to care for you but, obviously not the same way she does you.” 
He scoffs through his nose, muttering to himself, “obviously.” 
You place the glass of milk in front of the two, interrupting their conversation. “Don’t tell me you’ve decided to marry my cousin instead.” 
Anthony nearly chokes on the liquid, setting the glass down and snatches the handkerchief you hold out for him.
He wipes his chin, “what makes you think I would want to marry, Mildred.” 
She scoffs, “you’d be lucky to have me, Bridgerton.” 
He narrows his eyes to her. 
“I’ll be just outside this door, leaving the two of you talk and nothing else.”
You furrow your brows, “wait. Mil-” 
She waves to you. 
You take a deep breath, not wanting to face him. 
It was different when he wasn't paying attention to you and rather his own life, but now... you hope he doesn't want to talk. 
"We should- we should talk." 
Everything in your screams to not run away and hide, even though it sounds like it would be the better option right now. 
"How are you?" 
"I would be happier if I was marrying for love and not because of your concern over my virtue," you mumble. 
He overhears and sighs. “Don’t-” 
“No, I understand. Truly I do, just- I need- it’s late. Apologies for keeping you up.” You grab the skirts of your dress and walk out. 
Mildred watches as you run away. She spins around and stands in the doorway. “What did you do?” 
“Me- I-” 
She sighs. “Just shut up.” 
He sighs and slumps in the chair. Mildred storms into the room after you. 
-
“What happened?” 
“Nothing.” You take a deep breath, hunched over your vanity. 
“You know, you two act as a married couple who have known each other for too long and no longer know how to act lovingly around one another.” 
“You are wrong, cousin. He is- he is the scum- the scum that rests at the bottom of my shoe. Why would I ever marry someone like that? Much less that Bridgerton, I mean, Colin would be a better option and I don’t like him as much as I do Benedict.” You keep your head down, “people marry for less.” 
“I wish to marry for love, if it ever decides to come my way but until then I will deal with him marrying the only person, I care about that is close to my age.” 
“So, you care enough about me to marry me off?” 
“Don’t phrase it in such a way that makes me the bad guy,” she throws herself onto your bed. 
“Go to bed. I will be fine, Millie.” 
She props herself up on her elbows. “Are you sure?”
“I am. Please,” you look up and turn around, putting on a brave face. “I promise you. I will be fine.” 
“If you’re sure-” 
“Which I am. Goodnight, Millie.” 
She sighs and steps outside of the room, “night.” 
-
“Good morning.” 
You don’t respond to Mildred. 
“Are you ignoring me?” 
“I am simply showing you the way my soon-to-be husband will treat me.” 
“What do you mean?” 
“It has already begun. I awoke early and decided I wanted to speak to him after thinking about it all. I say hi but he does not.” You shrug, "it doesn't matter now." 
"It does though. Let me," she sighs. "Let me speak with him. I can- I can fix this." 
"No," you say. “I don’t want you to be in the middle any more than you have.” 
“Alright... now onto more pressing matters.” 
“Such as?” 
“Your plans for the wedding?” 
“Oh, right.” You continue to stare out the window. 
“Are you sure you're alright?” 
“I just-” 
Anthony stops himself from knocking on the door and decides to listen. 
“I thought when I was to marry, I would marry for love not because I need my virtue protected or saved." 
"If he didn't agree to this-" 
"I would be a spinster." 
"That is how I will live my life," Mildred grabs your hand and gains your attention. 
Anthony takes his leave, unable to stay there any longer. 
“That is not how I want you to live your life. I want you to be the one to have another you can call upon if there is something the matter because I won’t always be there and I need to know that you are protected before I leave.” 
“You’re leaving?” 
She sighs. “This isn’t how I wanted you to find out but yes. A week after you’ve been married, I plan on traveling the world.” 
“Your childhood dream.” 
“Precisely.” 
"I- what if I'm not good enough to," you wave your hand around. "This."
"This what? I'm not sure I understand." 
"What if- what if I am not fit to be a wife. I mean," you push yourself out of the chair and pace around the room. "I don't want him to be disappointed in the person he is to call wife. I don't want to be in a marriage of..." 
"Regret?" 
"Precisely." 
She stops you by placing a hand on your wrists, “now is the time for us to plan your wedding. Violet and Anthony have been sitting in the tearoom since I came in here.” 
“She’s- they’re- why didn’t you tell me?” You rush out the door. 
-
You clean yourself up outside the door and nod to your servant, Bernard, to open the doors. You nervously smile at both. 
Violet pops up from the chair closest to the window. “How are you?” 
“Oh- uh- I’m,” you glance to the side and stare at her eldest, who locks eyes with you. 
“I mean from the- well, you know,” she struggles to say. 
You let out a breath of relief, “ah, yes. I do. I am- I am fine. I’m just happy that everyone else is fine.” 
She smiles, “that is kind of you to say, but unnecessary.” 
“I hear you came to talk about our upcoming… event.” 
“Is that what Mildred told you?” 
You furrow your brows, “is that not what you’re here to discuss?” 
Anthony pushes himself off the couch. “Not yet. Mother, if you’d excuse us.” 
“Anthony, I don’t-” 
He gives her a look. 
"We will be right outside this door." 
"What did you want to discuss?" 
"If we are to marry, we should have stipulations." 
"You think I'll be so horrible that we need rules?" 
"Not you. I believe if we have these, we'll have a better understanding of what should come from this marriage." 
"Why don't I just stay by your side and show my face when you need me to so you can look like the perfect husband? Would that make things easier?" 
He sighs. "That is one of the things we need to discuss, which events you'd prefer to come to." 
"Oh, I get to choose those?" 
"Please stop. I am trying to make this as easy as I can." 
You clench your fists. "How am I supposed to be okay with this?" 
“It’s my fault and I am trying to make up for that.” 
You pause, “your fault?” 
He nods, “yes, it was- it was me who... couldn’t.” 
You step forward and place your hand on his, drawing his attention onto you. “It is not your fault when something so devastating comes to mind and you do all you can to prevent another. I do not blame you, but you must understand that I do not want to be one of those ladies.” 
“Who?” The only word he can get out as he studies you. 
Your compassion shifts into something of annoyance, one he knows too well. “You know who, someone who wants to be like Penelope’s mother or maybe even... all of the other ladies,” you chuckle, proud of the joke you made.
"I'm glad you can make jokes at a time like this." 
You roll your eyes, "oh hush, I am still upset about pretending to be a perfect housewife for the one man every woman dreams of being with." 
"Are you included?" 
Your mouth agape as you stare at him. 
"You two haven't maimed each other, perfect." 
"Millie," you pinch the bridge of your nose. 
"Oh, don't act so coy now." 
You roll your eyes and sit down, waiting to hear what Anthony and his mother have to say. You pace along the floor, finding it to be quieter here than in the tearoom with the others, even if they weren’t talking it was still too loud. You know there’s no alternative for what’s transpired between you and your soon to be husband, but it still hurts knowing he will never love you the way- 
“Are you alright?” Daphne’s voice draws you out of your thoughts. 
You give her a small smile and hope she doesn’t poke further. 
“I know this isn’t how it was supposed to happen but there is one good thing about your marriage.” 
You scoff, “and what, pray tell, is that?” 
“I finally can call you sister.” 
You try not to show how happy that makes you, not wanting her to know she was right. “Thank you.” 
She drags you over to the piano. 
“I still don’t understand why you have many so pianos.” 
She shrugs, “for moments like this, maybe?” 
“Are you waiting for me to play?” 
She nods, “of course, I am. You were always much better than I was.” 
“I was not.” 
“Show me then. Show me how awful you play, and I will not ask you again.”
You don’t know how long you had been playing for, but it was something you missed- not having a piano in your own home, you didn’t realize how long it had been. 
You usually prefer to play when no one is watching but having Daphne by your side was nice, she always knew how to help calm you before things could get worse; everyone knew of your father’s temper, and no one wants to face that through his only daughter. 
Anthony raises his hand to knock on the door but pauses as he listens, he doesn’t realize Daphne had learned a new piece. He slowly opens the door and finds you playing instead. 
‘When did you learn how to play?’ He wonders. 
Or maybe it was, you had always known, and he was too into his fantasies that he forgot to pay attention to the true version of you. 
Just when he was hoping to learn something horrible about you; you’re becoming more and more like his... 
“I didn’t know you played.” 
You open your eyes and glance up at him, standing up as quickly as you can. “I don’t.” 
He furrows his brows, “that’s not what I heard.” 
“That- that was nothing.” 
“Why are you lying?” 
“I prefer to keep this information to myself so if you could kindly pretend you didn’t hear anything, that’d be best.” You exit the room, knowing you’ve left 
Anthony in a wave of confusion. “What was that about?” 
“She doesn’t like others to know of her talents because she knows they’ll ask her to perform one of them.”
“Her mother.” He finally understands. 
“And her aunt.” 
Now he truly gets it. "Is this what you two would do while I was out with mother?" 
She shrugs and pushes the seat back. "Perhaps, or maybe you were never around long enough to learn about her even though you're entranced by her." 
He stutters, unsure of where she could have gotten that idea. "What?" 
She quickly hides her amusement before he can see. "Nothing. Goodnight Anthony." 
He tries to stop her, but she ignores him, offering an excuse for needing to put Augie to bed. He wonders what else he doesn’t know. 
You pace back and forth in front of his office door; this isn’t something you can do in person, is it? You sigh and wonder if it’s a wise choice to be doing this at all. 
You slip the letter under his door and take a step back. “That wasn’t so hard.” You turn around and briskly walk down the hallway, hoping he doesn’t see that it was you who was there.
Something moving in the corner of his eye piqued his interest and moved closer to figure out what it was. He picks up the letter and opens the door, seeing someone’s figure turning the corner before losing sight of them. 
He closes the door and opens the letter, wondering what you could have said when you’ve already said plenty. 
Dear Bridgerton, 
I I want to start off by apologizing for my outbursts, you don’t deserve them, and they are not aimed at you, but you happen to be the person I am talking to and... This is not how I expected the season to begin or end and I’m sure you didn’t either but if there is someone I were to marry, I’m happy it’d be you... because I trust you. I will do all that I can to be the perfect wife for you and if not, I apologize in advance. 
Sincerely, Your annoying soon to be wife 
The next day came, and you didn't know how to act. 
You sit between Daphne and Mildred when he enters. 
He sits in front of you and nods, acknowledging you, which you return. 
The girls beside you don't know how to react, each staring at the other with a raised brow. 
You two talked with his mother about the decisions for your wedding. 
"Have you two discussed what you want?" 
Anthony opens his mouth to answer but finds himself without an answer. 
"Everyone will talk, and it will no doubt be in Lady Whistledown's column, but it would be preferred if we had a small ceremony, family only." 
You don’t look up from your plate. Violet nods, listening intently. "I will use the dress my mother made when I was born, it'll save us time on getting a dress. The flowers can be your choice." 
"And after?" 
You turn to her, "it'd be smart to hold a small reception after all though it will increase because everyone will want to see who married the handsome and fortunate viscount."
You push yourself out of the chair. "I apologize but I realized I promised to spend time with the girls before we go out for our shopping trip." 
"What just happened?" 
"Have you two talked about anything regarding your wedding?" Violet asks her son. 
"Every time we discuss something-" 
"No, have you sat down and discussed what you two are to do? Who will be there? Anything that a soon to be husband and wife should discuss?" 
His shoulders sag. "No." 
"I want you to go in my place." 
"What? Why?" 
"It will give you two a moment to talk and prepare for the future hardships you two will face as a couple. Raise her spirits. She got a letter from her mother, saying she will not be able to attend. Perhaps that is why she is so uninterested today." 
"She- how do you know?" 
"I'm your mother, I know more than you would think." 
-
Anthony waiting by the door frightened you. “Are you joining us?” 
“I’m here in place of my mother.” 
It takes you a few seconds to process what he said. “You are?” 
He nods. “Shall we?” 
You close your eyes and take a deep breath. 
The failed whispering voices of the women around you, annoys you to the point where Anthony feels that he needs to do something. “Is there anything that has caught your interest?” 
You shake your head. 
“Let’s go. I know somewhere we can have a better time, away from the whispers of these women.” He leans in, whispering into your ear, “they’re jealous of you.” 
You cover your mouth to hide your amusement, not wanting him to know he’s helping lift your spirits. You two exit the shop and return to the Bridgerton home. “Why are we back here?” 
“We are going to have a drink.” 
“With your family? Couldn’t we do that any day we wanted to?” 
He holds his hand out for you to take, which you do. “Although that may be true, that’s not what I had in mind.” He places his arms behind his back, clenching his fist not wanting you to see the control you have over him. “We’re going to spend time in my office.” 
“Oh? I’m invited in, I feel so special.” 
“You should, very few are allowed in here, especially when I’m working.” 
“Of course. The head of the house needs quiet or else.”
-
“I see going out has helped you.” 
You watch as he fills the glass for you before grabbing it and swallowing it in one gulp. “You could say that.” You scrunch your nose at the sensation, maybe doing that was a bad idea. 
He takes a seat in his chair. 
“Could I ask you something?” 
He nods, staring at you over the glass as he takes a sip. 
“Did your mother inform of the one guest we won’t be seeing at our wedding?” 
He slowly sets the glass down before returning his gaze to you. “She may have mentioned it.” 
“Is that why you came with me today because she told you to and not because you wanted to?” 
“She may have said she thought it was best if I take her place, but it was initially my choice to go.” 
“You’re not lying?” 
“What would I gain from lying to you?” 
You sit up and reach for the bottle, filling your glass. “A relationship built on a lie.” 
He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Are you trying to make this harder than it needs to be?” 
“I can’t just- you can’t honestly expect me to ignore that we are marrying one another when you never wanted to marry and I hoped that when it happened, it’d be with someone who loved me.” 
He’s out of his chair before you realize he’s now sitting in the chair beside you. “What will it take for you to stop saying that?” 
“What?” 
He leans in closer. “Why do you think I could never love you?” 
“I-” You gulp. “You have spoken before that you never want to marry, what else am I to think?” 
“How do you know I couldn’t change? What if something comes of this relationship?”
Your breath hitches and you continue staring him in his eyes. “I suppose we’ll have to cross that bridge if we get to it.” You set the glass down and rush for the door, “I’ll take my leave now. I’m feeling quite tired after our outing.” 
He grabs your wrist, pulling you back in before you could open the door. “I’m sorry.” 
“No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have pressured you into answering my questions.” 
“What if I enjoyed them?” 
You turn to face him with a small smile. “Then I am concerned for your being.” 
“Don’t worry about me.” 
“Be honest, did you mother tell you about my mother is not coming?” 
“No,” he shakes his head, but you know the truth. 
“You don’t need to lie on order to preserve myself, it’s okay.” You sigh, “is it sad that a small part of me wishes for her to be there?” 
“Not in the least. It’s natural for you to want your mother there-” 
“It’s not because she’s my family, I just- I need her to stop pushing marriage onto me.” You pace back and forth, “this is my way to prove her wrong but that makes me feel worse because it makes me seem as though I’m being a bad daughter.” 
“You’re not,” he disagrees with you. “That is anything but you being a bad daughter. If anything, she’s- she’s scared to lose her daughter to a new family because they know you will be starting a new life, away from her and that’s why she doesn’t want you to help.” 
“But what if-” 
His hand slides down your arm as if his hand lingering wasn’t enough to drive you mad, he tightens his grip on your hand. 
You force yourself to focus on his words and not the warmth emanating from him. 
“Stop. All the negative thoughts you have are not going to help you. But listen to this, you are a good daughter, and she should be happy to know her daughter will be taken care of. As long as you are a part of this family you will be taken care of and not have to worry about expectations.” 
“I won’t,” you whisper, not meaning to. He shakes his head and gives a small smile. “I promise.” 
He realizes he’s been holding onto you this whole time and his arm falls. “Can I walk you back to your room?” 
You nod, ignoring the warmth flooding your cheeks. “I would like that.”
-
“Will I see you at breakfast tomorrow?” 
“You will, and if I ask you the same question?” 
He smiles, “I will be there.” 
“Good, I think this is a good start to our future marriage.” You step inside the room. 
“I am sorry.” 
“What?” 
“The marriage… and the reason we are to wed.” 
“What do you mean?” 
“I lost myself and-” 
You shake your head, placing a hand on his chest over his heart. “I do not blame you for something as traumatizing as your father’s death. Please know that.” 
“But-” 
“Anthony Bridgerton,” you tell him using a stern tone. “Stop it. It may not have happened under the best of circumstances, but I am happy that I will be wed to you than some other man. I can at least trust you.” You step back into the doorway, slowly closing the door as you bid him goodnight. 
He stands there, touching the spot where your hand was until he drops it, straining his hand as he fights to clench it.
-
Benedict and Colin happen to be there when he turns the corner. 
“Quite a show you put on there,” the second eldest says. 
“Yes, you’re whole “I’ll be the perfect husband” speech was wonderful,” the third eldest chimes in. 
Anthony scoffs, “would you two quiet down?” He grabs them by their collars, dragging them into one of their miscellaneous rooms. “Why aren’t you two out?” 
“How could we be out when you’re here?” Colin asks. 
“Trying to woo the love of your life,” Benedict adds on. 
“I’m not- you two are acting like children.” 
“Us? Acting like children?” Colin starts, glancing at his brother. 
“No,” the artist shakes his head, “I don’t think so.” 
The soon to be married man glares at his brothers, unsure if he wants to listen further or not but if he doesn’t let them continue it’ll be worse in the morning. He pinches the bridge of his nose. “If I let you two continue, will you keep quiet in the morning?” 
“Morning?” Colin turns to partner in crime. “What’s happening in the morning?” 
The artist glances over his older brother and grins, “is the soon to be wed joining his family and future wife for breakfast?” 
“With him being silent, I’m going to say yes.” 
“Finally, you agree with me.” 
“I agree with you,” the third eldest argues. 
“I don’t recall.” 
“Okay, now that you two are done, I’m going to bed.” 
“To dream of your wife.” 
“She looked quite nice today, wouldn’t you say brother?” Benedict asks. 
“I dare say, she looks even more radiant since her recent engagement.” 
“You two are done,” Anthony shoves them out of the room. “You two will not speak of her like that again. She is your friend,” he jabs Benedict’s chest. “And your future sister-in-law,” and does the same to Colin. “You will respect her and not talk like this again, understood?” 
“Yes, sir.” 
-
The next morning as soon as you step out of the door, your future husband paces. “You’re awake.” 
“I am, it’s time for breakfast.” You close the door behind you. “Shall we go downstairs and join the others?” 
“We’ll be the first ones down there.” 
“Either way, I’m going down.” 
He holds his arm out for you to take. “Shall we?” 
You give him a small smile and nod. “After breakfast, what are your plans?” 
“I have a few things I need to look over but after that I’m free. What did you have in mind?” 
“I planned on going for a walk along the back of your family’s estate and perhaps we could talk about things.” 
“Just the two of us.” 
“Mildred could join us?” 
“I’d rather she not.” 
“I don’t blame you; she’s been on a rampage since earlier this week.” 
The doors open and his brothers, Daphne and Mildred, are already sitting at the table. 
“Of course,” he mumbles. 
“Did you say something?” You ask him. 
He turns his head towards you, offering a small smile. “No, it’s nothing.” 
The glances between him and his brothers were interesting, intriguing to you and the girls, who also had no clue what was going on. 
He stands behind your chair, hand resting on your shoulder. “I shall find you after I am done.” 
You nod and watch him go. 
“Well, that was interesting.” 
Daphne shushes your cousin. 
-
You lay across the couch, reading another book and were so into it, not even realizing that he had entered the room. 
He smiles as he steps closer, wondering what’s going on inside your head, finding you to be more interesting as he observes you reading, compared to his sister. He leans against the back of the couch, bending down to catch your attention. 
A shadow moving catches your eye and you turn, screaming soon after. 
You place your hand over your heart, taking deep breaths. “For heaven’s sake! What was that for?” 
“What do you mean?” He smirks, arms on around the sides of your body as he stays behind the couch. “What are you reading?” 
You turn around and cross your arms, “why does that concern you?” 
“Can’t a future husband be curious as to what his future wife is into?” 
You glance at him from the corner of your eye. “Is that all?” 
“It is. But that’s not why I’m here.” He doesn’t say anything else. 
You get impatient and wave your arms around. “Spit it out. Come on.” 
“We are to marry by the end of the week.” 
Your brows raise is surprise, “oh.” 
“Is that alright?” 
You take a deep breath, “I just- I wasn’t expecting it to be so soon but that’s- okay.” You place the book beside you and stand up, brushing the wrinkles out of the skirts of your dress. “I need to go over some things with your mother.” 
The humor falls from his face. “Wait- where are you going?” 
"I just told you." 
He follows after you, "I heard you but-" He reaches for you, pulling you back. "Can we talk?" 
You take a deep breath to calm your beating heart. Why is this happening now? You thought you were over this. Your lips part as you stare at his hand. You shake your head, staring up at him. "I- what do we need to talk about?" 
"Lady... things." He’s quiet for a moment. "I won't push you but know I'm here to talk if you need someone." 
"Thank you." You take off, not noticing the way his hand slowly falls or the way he clenches his hand. 
It's been a long time since he's felt the skin of a woman he was enchanted by, especially one he's to call wife. 
"Did we catch a moment between you and your beloved?" 
Anthony sighs, "don't you have charcoal to break for your fruit drawings?" 
His younger brother puts a hand to his chest, offended by his brother's comment. "I'm hurt, Anthony. Truly, I am but it's not why I'm here." 
He turns to face the artistic Bridgerton, taking notice of the serious look on his face. "What's wrong?" 
"Sister." 
"Which one?" 
"Not one of ours." 
He furrows his brows, mouth agape to ask why but realizes who his brother is referring to. "I thought we had taken care of this situation?" 
"We did but then she decided to cut their trip short and has been calling on you since she arrived today."
"I need you to take care of her. I cannot allow her to ruin my marriage." 
Benedict nods, "you finally figured out you truly care for her, didn't you?" 
Anthony chuckles, "I'm not discussing this with you. Call Colin if you need help." 
"We got it. Go take care of my future sister." 
-
He nods for the doors to be opened. "Good morning, ladies." 
Your cousin shakes her head, your mother fawns over him while Violet takes a sip of her tea. 
Your eyes widen at the sight of him. 
He places a hand on the back of your chair. "I expect you all enjoyed your breakfast before discussing more of the wedding." 
"Oh, certainly. Your family has been nothing but kind to us, Viscount." 
You adjust the napkin on your lap to keep you from rolling your eyes at your mother's fake enthusiast tone. 
Mildred pats your arm, knowing the strained relationship between you and your mother. 
He notices the tension in your shoulders and wishes he could pull you away from all this madness. "Anything I can help with?" 
"Oh, heavens no. You have other more important things to take care of. Leave this to us ladies, isn't that, right?" 
You purse your lips and let out a quiet, "mmhmm." 
Maybe it was better when she said she couldn’t come to the wedding. Yes, you were sad, but it was better than the real thing. 
Violet glances between you and your mother. "Why don't we let the girls go on a walk with Anthony watching over them?" 
"But-" 
"I think this will be good for them. It will give them more time to talk." 
The woman hesitates to say yes, debating if this is truly a wise decision before making a decision. 
-
You didn't realize how tight you were squeezing Mildred's arm until she let out a whine. 
Your eyes widen, "oh, Millie. I'm so sorry." 
"It's fine. I should have known better. I know how crazy she makes you." "This always happens?" You don't look in his direction. Your cousin nods her head, "unfortunately." 
"Why has she made this unexpected visit?" 
"She," Mildred pauses, giving herself time to think of a better answer than truth. 
"She wants to know if I am with child and if the reason, you're marrying me is to save my family's name." 
Anthony nods, he understands why you preferred planning this with his mother and your cousin. "Should we?" 
You two glance over in his direction. "What are you implying?" 
He shrugs, "I merely suggest we pretend as if there is something going on, give your mother something to worry about." 
"You want her to pretend as if she is with child?" 
He nods, confirming Mildred's nightmare. 
"Please tell me you're not thinking of going through with this. It’s absurd and- oh, no. Now I like it." 
You glance between the two. "Is this something you two finally agree on?" 
They stumble for a minute, waiting for the other to argue and tell you no but come to realize you are, in fact, correct. 
Daphne stumbles upon the three of you and smiles, neither Mildred nor her brother are arguing, and you don't look uncomfortable. 
"Daphne!" Your cousin waves. "Come, come. We need your knowledge on a subject." 
She nods, smiling. "May I ask what you need my help with exactly?" 
"How does one pretend to be with child?" 
She owlishly blinks, tilting her head staring at the woman as if she's lost her mind. "I'm sorry?" 
"We are feeding into my aunt's absurd idea of her precious daughter being with child." 
Anthony purses his lips, finding himself to be offended more than he had been by Mildred's comments. "I'm not the worst option for a father." 
"Moving on," she waves him off before returning her attention to his sister. "We need information." 
"And you want to do this?" She turns to face you. 
Your eyes widen slightly, not realizing she was going to ask. "I think it would be... nice to show mother how well her child is without her watchful eye." 
"And you're sure this is the way to do it?" 
You shrug, "it's not so much if I think this is okay, it's more like she needs to realize I am my own person and can live a life without her dictating everything for me." 
Daphen nods, "okay. I will help." 
Mildred smiles and interlocks her arm with the Bridgerton girl's. "Come, we have much to discuss." 
You turn to your future husband and raise a brow. 
He stares at the two, wondering what advice his sister could have to offer before holding his arm out for you to hold onto as you all return to the hall for dinner. 
"Are you sure about this?" 
You hum, not having listened to a word he said. 
"I asked if you're sure about this. Mildred and I were joking, we don't expect you to play along with this idea." 
"Your kind, but this is something I need to do. She won't listen to reason if I tell her I don't need her help, she'll involve herself, no matter what." 
"And this is how you'll get her to stop?" 
You sigh, "we'll see." 
The dinner was entertaining for most, you felt bad for embarrassing Violet and the Bridgerton name all to get your mother off your back, but you felt there was no other way to stop her from inserting her wants and needs before yours. 
That was the first night you had a stern talking to from your future mother-in-law and- even though you could have thought of a better way to handle the situation, it felt nice to be taken care of the way a child should, compared to the way your mother raised you. 
You didn’t talk to your cousin or future husband after and went to bed with too much on your mind. 
-
Then came the wedding, it was as lovely as could be even if it was short notice and only family was invited. 
It came as a surprise to everyone, mainly yourself, when your mother decided it was time to stop and act like a caring parent. 
She smiled and fixed a piece of hair that was out of place. “I know this isn’t the wedding you dreamed about-” 
“I didn’t dream of a wedding often.” 
She sighs, realizing she’s been putting words in your mouth rather than stopping to listen to you. “I never dreamed of marrying someone I didn’t love. If I were to ever get married, I’d rather it be with someone I could have a future with than someone who would rather be with another.” 
"I know." 
"And you know what else- you know?" 
She nods, "I've been trying to relive my life through you, and it isn't fair. I'm here to watch you marry the man who will provide, take care of you," she cups your cheeks. "And love you the way you deserve." 
You shake your head, fighting to keep your composure, not wanting anyone to know of your breakdown. "He doesn't love me." 
She nods, "he does, you just can't see it." 
"How-" 
Your mother shushes you, "it's time." 
The reality of the situation didn't hit you until it was time to walk down the aisle but with the help of Mildred and Daphne, you were able to overcome it. 
That was also the only time you've felt the lips of your husband. 
-
Since the wedding it feels as though all the progress you two made was wasted, even Mildred was tired of your constant complaints before and after she left. 
You sit in the library, biting your nail until it hurts and turn the page; a new habit of yours, one Eloise would be proud of. 
You started hiding away to read when everyone went off to live their lives now that the beginning of yours has ended started. You’ve been reading more since your cousins’ departure; it was a tearful morning but you're happy to know she’s out living her life the way she wants. 
Then Daphne and Simon left the hall so they could return to their lives in their own home with little Augie. 
You've tried to go out with Violet and Lady Danbury, but they preferred to ask when you two would expand your family; safe to say you also hide in here for another reason. 
The youngest Bridgerton’s are swept away for their studies as they continue to grow. Francesca and Eloise are nowhere to be found half the time (hence where you got the idea). 
You don't know if you'd be able to handle talking to the other two brothers since marrying the eldest. The comments they make at breakfast are enough, going on a walk with them would be too much. 
Not that you mind the quiet even if it does get lonely at times. 
You push yourself off the ground, placing the book back in its place only now realizing how dark it had gotten and your candle has died, providing little light to guide you; its barely the size of your thumb and the wick is dying the longer you stay here. 
You open the door, carefully closing it and wince as the hinges creaking echoes down the hallway. You pause at the sound of footsteps only to hear a familiar girls whisper. "Hyacinth?" 
She smiles, "what are you doing here?" 
"I was reading." 
"In the dark?" 
You two glance down at your source of light that died as soon as she mentioned it. "The candles died." 
“Can you take me back to my room?” 
You smile and nod, “of course I can.” You grab her hand and try to find your way back to the hallway where her room is. 
-
“Finally, we found it.” You glance down at her, “I told you, we would.” 
She smiles up at you with a sleepy expression. “I knew you would.” 
You open the door and get her settled into bed before exiting. 
You wonder what it would be like to have your own child and stop. Are you really thinking about what it would be like to have a child when you haven’t seen your husband since your wedding day? 
You shake your head and continue down the hallway before turning around, realizing you made a wrong turn; you sigh, leaning against the railing, staring at the ballroom floor. 
You remember the first time you arrived at the hall and saw him. You didn’t know why your heartbeat was so fast until your cousin explained it to you. 
You wonder if he knows how you feel and if that’s the reason, he’s been avoiding you. 
“What are you doing awake at this hour?” 
You spin around and find- “Ben!” You cross your arms to cover you. 
He smiles, “what are you doing out of bed and away from your husband?” 
You take the jacket he offers you, “I’d rather be reading but my candle died- oh no.” 
“What?” 
“I left it in your sister’s room.” 
“Ah, so you’ve seen the whole family other than the one man you should be seeing.” 
“Quiet now, Benedict. Unless you want others to know you’ve seen your brother’s wife in her night dress.” 
“It wouldn’t be the biggest scandal our family has dealt with.” 
You lower your head, rubbing your forehead at his words. “You’re an idiot. I’m going to bed.” 
Anthony had a rough night and going to bed was something he desperately needed, maybe seeing your figure laying in our shared bed would make him feel better; he always seems to calm down when his eyes land on you. 
That was something he always enjoyed about you whenever you were around. 
He stops removing his coat when the door opens, and his brother is behind you while you stay in the doorway with his coat around your shoulders. 
His brother takes the item from you and takes his leave before Anthony starts asking questions (not before Benedict gives him a suggestive look). 
He doesn’t want to ask- he shouldn’t ask, it’s not his place. “Something I should know about?” He hopes this doesn’t lead to a fight. 
“What do you mean?” 
“We’re going to pretend as if my brother walking you, my wife, wouldn’t be a scandal if we were elsewhere.” 
“Why? Don’t you trust me?” You ask, tired of all the games; him avoiding you and now having an interest in you. 
“Do you know how much it affects me?” 
An annoyed sigh escapes him, revealing to you how he feels (about the situation and not yourself). “What affects you, sweetheart?” 
You ball your fists, “stop calling me that.” 
He can’t call you such an endearing name when he hasn’t been acting like your husband. “That is what a husband is supposed to call his wife, is it not? A charming word of endearment for a handsome lady, such as yourself.” 
“Stop talking…” 
“What else am I to call you? I cannot call you by your name, it would prove-” 
“How little we care for each other.” 
“What are you talking about?” 
“You. I’m talking about you.” 
“Me?” 
“You are a pest.” 
“A pest,” he whispers, finding himself offended. 
“You have never once thought of myself in the manner of being one’s wife but yet you act like this.” 
“Like what?” 
“Like you’re my husband.” 
“Am I not?” 
You study him. “You want to make a big deal out of this when you’ve been avoiding me since the wedding? Therefore, you are a pest.” 
“I- I haven’t- when was I avoiding you?” 
“You’re a terrible liar.” 
He struggles to remove his coat and you make your way towards him, helping him. 
“Your brother found after I helped Hyacinth get back to bed after she found me exiting the library. He didn’t want anyone else to see me in such a… intimidate manner.” 
You stare at him through your lashes. “Anything else you want to add? Maybe,” you place his jacket on the back of the chair before taking a seat at the vanity. You start removing the pins and ribbons keeping your hair up, your tiredness hitting you as you prepare for bed. 
He sighs, untying his collar. “I wasn’t avoiding, I’ve been… busy.” 
“Busy? You’ve been busy?” You undo the sheets, settling onto your side. “I’m going to sleep until you can come up with another excuse on why you’ve been avoiding me.” 
“I- believe me when I say I wasn’t avoiding you because I- this isn’t easy.” 
You spring up, glaring at him. “And you think this is easy for me?” 
“I’m not saying anything about our marriage. I have been,” he pauses, thinking of the right word. “Dealing with personal matters, things you shouldn’t have to worry about because of a mistake I made in the past. I am trying to protect this because I care about you.” 
You gulp, “I’m sorry.” 
“What was that?” 
You roll your eyes, crossing your arms as you stare at the ceiling. “I’m sorry for thinking you were avoiding me but to be fair,” you spring forward, pointing to him. “I- I-“ You struggle to speak as you catch the sight of his bare chest. 
He knows what he’s doing to you and his chest warms at the thought of only you being the one to see him in such an intimate way. 
You turn away, fiddling with the sheets. “Like I said, I’m sorry for assuming the worst but considering-“ You close your eyes, following the way his lips moved against yours. You push him away, the warmth of his chest lighting a fire within you. “Just because we are married, does not mean you can use your body to change the subject or get me to stop talking about something you don’t want to.” 
The corner of his smile twitches before he allows himself to smirk. 
You’ve only ever seen him use this expression with his family, never once was it directed at you. 
You’re happy tonight ended the way it has, you’re feeling closer to him, learning more of what makes Anthony Bridgerton tick. 
-
He closes his eyes, chest heaving with every breath he takes. “I’m here.” He pulls away from you. 
Your hand falls at your side. 
His figure fades away, leaving you confused. 
You burst up, confused as to what your dream means and glance beside you, finding him still asleep. You push yourself out of bed, needing the get away for a moment, sitting in the bench underneath the window. 
You stare at the stars, wondering if there was some way, they’d be able to respond to your questions. It’s only been several days since your marriage became official; you still feel as though you’re not and none of is real. 
You think back to your first kiss you two shared at the altar and the one you shared before going to bed. Your fingertips brush against your lips, relishing the sensation you felt then as it fills you with something you never thought you’d be able to enjoy. 
‘Is this what love is?’ You think, staring at the bright moon, knowing it won’t answer you. 
You glance back at him and wonder if he’ll ever love you the way-. You wipe away the stray tear, knowing how much it’d break you if he decided to cheat or leave you entirely. 
Your greatest fear was thinking you’d end up alone. 
Now you fear he’d be the one to leave you without looking back. 
He squints, the moonlight disturbing his slumber. “What are you doing up?” 
Your head snaps in his direction. “Hmm?” 
He repeats his question, sitting up in bed, his night shirt wrinkled and slipping off his chest. 
“I couldn’t sleep,” you tell him, not believing your own words. You crawl back into bed when you notice he won’t fully fall asleep until you’re near. 
As soon as you settle onto your side, his breathing evens out. 
You lay your head on the pillow, fighting the thoughts you know will keep you awake, feeling you’ll need more sleep than anything. 
-
"We need to try for a child." 
He glances up from his work. "I didn't realize your mother was in town." 
You narrow your eyes to him, something he is truly fond of even if you are upset with him. "I'm going to pretend as if you didn't say that." 
You close the door and pace around the floor in front of his desk. 
“If you find yourself calm enough to talk, could you repeat what you said when you busted into my office.” 
He knows what you said, there's no denying what he's heard but what's got you riled up to bring up such a topic. 
The wedding was only three weeks prior, he knows of the idle gossip some of the other women enjoy talking amongst each and he's curious as to who said something. 
He's also been trying to keep himself busier than usual to keep him from staying up too late and thinking of performing such acts upon you. He sets his pen down, giving you his full attention. “Why are you asking now?” 
“I’m not asking,” you argue. 
Is it such a wise idea to try and push for this? Most likely not but you're too upset over the gossip to think logically. 
He studies you for a moment, wanting to understand what happened to make you think such a thing. 
“What happened? I mean, you and Daphne went out for a walk, right?” 
You pause, trying to understand where he’s getting at before nodding. 
“Who said something to you?” He raises his brow. 
“No one… exactly,” you huff, crossing your arms. 
“I know they’re expecting me to be with child by now or at least, in the works of trying for a baby and I don’t want there to be another Whistledown column with either of our names in it. It’s not just my reputation that could be ruined, it could be yours or your family’s this time.” 
He can’t help but smile at your kind thoughts. “I appreciate the concern and I’m sure my family would as well, but everything is going to be fine. We don’t need to worry about this.” 
You continue having your pity party. “I’m glad you seem to think so.” You furrow your brows, thinking about how he’s avoiding the topic. “Why are you putting this off?” 
“Putting what off?” 
“You know what I’m talking about, don’t act as coy as your brothers do when asked about their courtships.” 
He doesn’t have a way out, does he? A knock on the door alerts him. “I have other business to attend to, I’ll see you at dinner?” 
You scoff, “you pretend as if you want me and need me when we are in our shared room but now that we are out in the open you want nothing to do with me? Tell me, are you just using me for your own gain?” 
He sighs, “please, can we,” he glances at the door to find his brother. “Talk about this another time?” 
You nod, offering a fake smile, “of course, husband.” 
His attention turns to you once more, “I thought we weren’t going to have the normal marriage?” 
“It seems we were both wrong.” You shrug. “Goodnight, husband.” You yank the door open, rushing past Benedict and the guest without looking back. 
Kate smiles watching as you put yourself further away from the one person she wants. “It seems you and your bride are having minor troubles, may I?” 
Anthony grits his teeth. “What’s brought you here, to my family’s hall, today?” 
Her mischievous smile turns into an evil smirk, “I’ve come to visit an old friend, after all, didn’t you say I was always welcome?” 
“That was before you tried to take my family’s fortune and run off.” 
She plays with the cuff of his coat sleeve. “If it makes you feel better, I have a husband.” 
“Then you should be with him.” He removes her hand from him. 
If this had happened a year ago, he would be crawling back into her embrace but now that he has you, the only person that can keep him sane; he’s not going to make that mistake. 
He sits down at his desk, rereading the page he was working on when you came in. He knows he’d be stupid if he fell for her tricks once more and ruined your marriage (and family name). 
She pouts, not liking the fact that he doesn’t want her anymore. 
“Perhaps you should go back to your home. We must clean up for dinner,” Benedict chimes in. 
She spins to face the second eldest, “dinner? I’d love to.”
Anthony pushes himself out of the chair. “That’s not an invitation.” 
“Why? Are you scared I’m going to ruin your precious marriage? You truly think I’d be harsh to do such a thing?” 
“We don’t need to think it if we know.” 
She smirks in trump, feeling as though she’s won. 
-
You glance at the two with a sinking feeling in your stomach. 
Is this the way your marriage is going to end? It took a while before you could remember where you knew her from and as soon as it clicked, you were fidgeting in your seat. Why did he allow her to sit so close to him? 
She knows he's a married man and doesn't care. Maybe she thinks the marriage is fake and- you aren't worthy enough to be his wife. 
You push the food around on your plate, your appetite forgotten. You remember the rumors about their relationship but could never be proven since she went back to India with her mother but now that she's back, you don't know what to think. 
He notices and wishes that she didn't invite herself to join his family tonight. 
You ask him about expanding the family line and him avoiding the topic entirely because he doesn't want you to feel as though this is a duty the two of you have to do. 
He remembers when you two were first engaged and how you wanted to marry someone who truly loved you rather than someone marrying you out of a convenience. 
His heartbeat when you told you should try for a child, he nearly passed out on the spot at the thought of you baring one of his children. 
He knows you'd make fantastic mother; he doesn't doubt that in the least but since the wedding day he's realized something he should have a long time ago- something Kate is seeing for herself; he truly loves you. 
Nowhere is it near what she thought they had but she's happy that he has someone who cares for him in more ways than she could. 
-
She bids her farewells before pulling you to the side. "I apologize for intruding on your family dinner, but I think you should know you have nothing to worry about." 
You furrow your brows. "I'm sorry, what-" 
She shakes her head. "He loves you in more ways than he ever could care about me. I saw it tonight." She smiles, "all I ask is that you take care of him better than I could. I know you're good for him." 
You stare at the door as it closes, unsure if anything that’s just happened is real or if this is a fever dream. 
“Are you alright?” 
You turn to face your husband and gulp. “Perfectly fine, why do you ask?” 
“Did- She didn’t say anything, did she?” 
The blank expression from your face falls and is replaced by one of annoyance. “What if she told me something she shouldn’t have? Is there something you wanted her to hide from me?” 
He shakes his head, “is it too late to say no?” 
You scoff, “you’re an idiot.” You close the door, not caring if it slams shut or not. 
He stops it before it closes in his face, “I’m sorry I- it’s not true.” 
“Then what is? Why do you care whether she’s told me about yours and her relationship or not? I know about you two. I’ve read the columns and-” 
“That’s what I was worried about. I don’t want you to think something that isn’t true happened.” He stands behind the chair in front of your vanity. “I don’t want you think I’m a rake when I’m not, us marrying has changed things-” 
“Us getting married is the only reason you’ve changed?” 
“No,” he stumbles over his words, something he does more when he’s around you than anyone else he’s ever spoken to. “I-” 
You push yourself out of the chair and walk towards the bed. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I keep pushing and I’m sorry but right now, I just want to go to sleep.” 
“After you listen to what I have to say.” 
“I have not felt the way I do for anyone else. I- no words can come close to what I feel for you.” 
His grip tightens on the back of the chair. “I cannot- cannot breathe when you are near.” He catches your gaze, “you drive me insane when you try and argue with me. I don’t understand how you have vexed me and stolen my every thought. When you are here all I can think of is you, when you go out with my sister, you are the one thing on my mind. I- you, you are the bane of my existence, but I can’t seem to keep myself from you.” 
You turn around, catching his gaze in the mirror. “Why are you telling me this?” 
He spins around, “so you understand why I have changed. It’s not because I don’t care for you. I care too much about you. I have for a long time which is why I was scared when that bee was near you.” He squeezes his eyes shut. “I was terrified I was going to lose you and I didn’t understand why until our marriage.” 
“But- that was days ago.” 
“Exactly,” he takes a step closer. “I’ve been losing my mind trying not to push you into something you’re not ready for. And then, earlier when you came to me, telling me we should try for a child. I didn’t know what to think.” 
“What about Kate?”
He owlishly blinks, trying to understand where you’re coming from. “What about her?” 
“You’ve been with women before me and I’ve accepted that, but Kate was here, having dinner with your family. She’s- she’s been around town from what I’ve heard being whispered behind my back. She was here and you didn’t tell me. You- you say that you love me, but I don’t know what to believe when the woman you were in love with, who later broke your heart, returned into your life and you didn’t so much as think to tell me. Benedict was more involved than I was!” 
You don’t know why you’re getting so upset over this, it shouldn’t bother you this much since you don’t- 
“I didn’t want her to spout lies about me to you and make you think I am not going to be a good husband.” He grabs your hands, “believe me when I say she is not relevant. You are my future.” 
Your chest heaves with every breath you take. “How-” Your nose twitches as you purse your lips, collecting your thoughts before you completely explode. 
“How what?” He switches between looking into one eye and then the other. 
“How could I be blind?” 
“To what?” 
“I have loved you since I could understand what the word meant and now you- you-” You gesture to your back, “help me with my corset. I cannot breathe.” 
He nearly rips your dress off you as he pulls the strings keeping the oxygen from getting into your lungs. 
You hang your head, trying to keep your emotions at bay. 
“Sweetheart…” 
You turn around, pointing at him with wet cheeks. “You have ruined me. You have ruined me for any other man since before my first debutant and have had my heart for just as long and I didn’t know it yet.” 
He holds his hand out for you, allowing you to take a step closer to him. 
You accept and stand with a few inches between you two. “You have bewitched me from the beginning, if you can accept my foolishness and accept me now, I would happily give myself to you only if you can return the feelings.” 
“I wouldn’t be able to survive if I declined your love.” 
For the first time since the wedding, the two of you share a genuine kiss and not one where he tries to use his body to distract you. It’s one that makes it feel like the world’s stopped spinning and you two are the only ones in the world. 
-
A knock on the door alerts the two of you. 
You wince, covering your eyes with your hand before reaching over for him. “Anthony, wake up.” 
“I’m coming in and I hope you two are decent.” She groans, “God, you two are naked. Gross.” Mildred complains loudly to whoever stands outside the door with her. “I thought they’d at least have the decency to be awake by now.” 
You can hear Benedict’s voice, but it comes out all muffled because you’re not fully awake. 
He opens his eyes and turns his head to find your beautiful face lying beside him, hair in disarray on the pillow. His thumb brushes across your cheekbone. “Good morning, Viscountess Bridgerton.” 
You find it hard to resist the urge to smile and open your eyes, staring at him with nothing but love and happiness. You hum, brushing back his hair so it doesn’t look as messy, wanting to see more of his handsome face. 
“Good morning, Viscount Bridgerton.” You remove your hand from his hair, pulling his hand away from your cheek to peck his palm. “What do you have planned for today?” 
“Spending time with my wife, although I do have to say, I don’t think she’d appreciate me lying in bed with someone as breathtaking as yourself.” 
You can’t help but smile. “I think if you paid her the same comments you do to me, she’d understand.” 
He sucks in air through his teeth, “I don’t know. I think you’d have to meet her to find out the kind of woman she is.” 
“I think I know.” You lean against your elbow, meeting him halfway for a morning kiss. 
“Would you two hurry up? We have plans. I did not come here on a boat to see you two to stay in bed when I have plans with my cousin. Do you hear me, Bridgerton?” 
He sighs, flopping back onto his back. “How could I not?” 
You smack his chest before pushing yourself out of bed. “I’ll be ready soon. Go downstairs and wait for me, Millie.” 
“If you’re not down here before sunset. I’m leaving.” 
You chuckle to yourself. “Okay.” 
He pulls you closer to him, hands resting against your waist, slowly wrapping around you. He kisses the exposed parts of your back before pulling you down, kissing along your shoulders. 
-
“This cannot be safe.” 
“Just because it’s a new corset, doesn’t mean it’s not safe.” 
“For the baby.” He ties the strings through the loops. “When can we tell them?” 
“When they won’t freak out.” 
“Never, okay.” 
You chuckle and spin around, placing your hands on his shoulders. “They will know soon. It’ll be fine.” 
He stares into your eyes. “You’re lucky I love you.” 
“I think that’s my line.” 
“Not today.” 
You peck his lips before ordering him to tie the corset. “I’ll see you after our walk.” 
“Don’t overexert yourself.” 
“I won’t. Goodbye, ‘Thony.” 
His eyes never left yours as you’re dragged away by your cousin. 
Benedict steps inside. “Someone’s happy.” 
He shakes his head, ignoring his brother; so happy go feed into the comments.

You should definitely do one when Matt gets caught by his girlfriend using a vibrator and they do all that and she used it on him and all that 👍
✯It’s a vibe✯
Summary: Matt gets caught and his girlfriend helps him out.
Warning: NSFW CONTENT. vibrators, masturbation, cum, thats about it.
✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯
Matt had a secret.
About a month ago he was cat-sitting for his girlfriend Y/n. The girl was out of town to visit family, and she asked him to stay at her place and watch her cat.
Her cat loved to tear up her furniture.
He happily obliged, he would do anything for the girl.
It was an easy task, take care of Jay-meow (Y/n loved Jersey shore) and make sure no one broke into her house.
Knowing the girl wouldn’t care, he found himself sleeping in her room for the week. Sometime throughout the week, his charger broke, causing him to rummage through her room in attempts to find one.
He scoured the whole room before he finally got to her bedside table. He opened the heavy drawer and immediately fell back.
Dildos, vibrators, nipple clamps, lube.
Almost anything you could imagine.
His hand hovers over the drawer, debating on grabbing one of the many sex toys.
A certain item catches his attention and he grabs it.
It’s a big wand with what looks like a mallet head on the end. The brand reads Hitachi.
A vibrator.
His imagination runs wild. Images of the girl lying down naked, her hand wrapped around the device as she presses it against her folds, her moans bouncing off the walls as the vibrations send shocks through her body.
He feels himself growing harder and harder each second. His thumb lightly presses down on the button, his hand instantly shaking from the vibrations.
He hesitantly presses the bulb of the wand against his growing bulge.
He sucks in a sharp breath at the sensation, his knuckles turning white from how hard he’s gripping it.
Long story short, he ended up cumming in his pants.
That was a month ago.
Today, his own vibrator came in the mail. Luckily, Chris and Nick were gone. He has the whole house to himself, he could be as loud as he wants.
He already worked himself up, watching a few videos, palming himself through his sweatpants, imaging different scenarios of you and him.
He was ready.
He lay in his bed, the only thing adorning his body was his black boxers and his signature Horse necklace.
He takes the charged device and turns it on the lowest setting, letting it run over his body before getting to his waist.
He runs it over his bulge and lets a deep groan emerge from his throat.
He does this for a few moments, building up the tension. He uses his left hand to pull down his boxers, his dick springing free.
His tip was an angry shade of red, much like his swollen lips. His tip is leaking, beads of precum rolling off the side.
With his mind going back to a video he watched, he presses the vibrator against his base. His body immediately lurches forward, a loud and shakey moan falling from his lips. He throws his head back, eyes falling closed as the pleasure reaps his body.
“F-fuck!” He curses, a whine following close after.
His hips jerk upward, begging for more. He moves the wand a bit higher, louder moans bouncing off the walls.
He’s so busy pleasuring himself, he doesn’t hear the front door opening.
He keeps going, his moans getting even louder.
He’s close.
His door opens and his eyes fly open, landing on his girlfriend.
Y-y/-“ his eyes clamp shut, his body lurching upward as he reaches his high, sounds of pleasure filling the girls ears.
The vibrator falls out of his hand, landing on the bed.
He pants, out of breath from the strong orgasm.
He almost forgot the girl was here until he feels the bed dip down. He opens his eyes and sees her staring at him, a look in her eye that he just can’t read.
“I-I’m sorry…” he mumbles, his cheeks tinted red. She hums and eyes the vibrator on the bed that’s buzzing softly.
She recognizes the brand, she owns it.
She looks back a Matt, a nonchalant look on her face. “You know, I have one of these, this brand specifically.”
Matt hears his heart in his ears as she picks up the wand. He stay wuiet, not knowing what to say or do. “You want to know something even crazier?”
“H-hm?” His voice cracks as his nervousness becomes even more evident.
It’s as if she’s hypnotizing him, her eyes keeping him entranced. So entranced that he doesn’t see her hand moving towards his dick, still holding the vibrator.
“When I came back to LA, my vibrator was out of battery. When I left it was fully charged…know anything about that?”
“N-shit!” He grunts feeling her press the vibrator against him. He clenches the bed sheets, his head lulling back. She grabs his jaw, forcing him to look at her.
“Answer the question Matt.”
“N-ohhh no!” He lies. The girl turns the speed up higher, her head tilting to the side. “Mmm I think you’re lying. I think you do know. Tell me Matt, were you getting off with my vibrator?”
He groans, his head falling forward on to her shoulder as he breathes deeply.
“F-fuck, please.” He whimpers out.
“Tell me or I stop.” She threatens. He quickly grabs her wrist, his head shooting up.
“N-no! P-please don’t st-fuck- don’t stop!” He urges. Hes so close to summing and if she stops he might hold it against her all the way into the after life.
“Then tell me the truth Matt. Were you being a dirty boy and using my vibrator to touch yourself?”
Pathetic whines and whimpers leave his mouth as he bucks his hips, begging for more.
“Y-yes! I-I was a dirt-fuck me-dirty boy! I-I did it! I’m s-“She cuts him off by going up another speed. He grabs her shirt, yanking her forward until their lips are pressed together.
Their lips move together as their teeth clash. Matt groans into the kiss, pulling away and pressing his forehead against hers, “M’close, so close! God don’t stop!” She listens and keeps going.
She lets her thumb swipe over his tip, and almost immediately he's shooting his load all over her hand. He groans as she keeps the toy in place, even having the nerve to turn it up another notch. Matt hisses and tries to pull away, but she keeps him close.
"y/n I-I can't"
"Yes, you can. My vibrator lasts five hours when fully charged, and when I came back it was dead-" His eyes become glossy at the overstimulation occurring.
"-so tell me Matthew, how many times did you cum in my bed."
He can't think, he's too busy focusing on his breathing and his rising orgasm. She puts the vibrator on his tip and he lets out a yelp that sounds like a kicked puppy.
"Answer me."
"f-five!"
She hums and moves the vibrators back to his base, edging him. "And what were you thinking about? Be honest." He shakes his head, not wanting to admit the dirty thoughts that once ran across his mind. "God," he pants into her neck.
"You're not cumming until you tell me," she states firmly. Turning the vibrations down, Matt whines feeling his orgasm decline. "Turn it u-up, please!" he begs.
"Tell me what you thought."
He curses to himself, wishing he would have just charged the toy before leaving her home.
"I-I thought about you." he swallows harshly. His mouth feels dry, almost like he's dehydrated.
"Mhm," she begins to move the vibrator up and down his length. "H-how you got off with the vi-" he choked as she went up a speed.
"Keep going," she encourages, her ego rising as she indulges in the thoughts her boyfriend had about her.
"You using the vibrator, a-and how I want to watch." He confesses. She chuckles and goes up another speed. "You want to watch me pleasure myself? Hmm?"
"Oh god, yes!" his pleading gets louder as she places the vibrator on his tip once again.
"Is that it?" He quickly shakes his head, his breathing becomes short pants. "I-I thought about you using the vi-vibrator on me and making me c-cum!"
"Aww you wanna cum? You want to be a dirty boy and cum all over your toy?"
He nods quickly, rocking his hips into the toy as if he was fucking someone. "Be a good boy and cum for me."
He slams his lips against hers, groaning as their tongues dance with each other. She feels his hot seed cover her hand, a little bit even landing on her thigh. Knowing it would be too much for him to keep going, she pulls it away, getting ready to turn it off.
"Don't," he mutters as he pulls away from her lips. He pushes her back and climbs over her, snatching the vibrating toy from her hands and pushing it against her clothed center.
Her eyes close as she lets out a soft whimper.
He leans down and whispers huskily into her ear.
"It's your turn."

Mafia141 p.4
The boys react quickly, like they’re trained to do. You don't.
Ghost is able to tackle you to the ground before bullets start flying through the windows.
The sound of gunfire and glass shatters the peace, a familiar ringing to everyone but you. One moment you're focused on not spilling anything, now, with the mugs shattered on the floor, a heavy weight on top of you, and loud shots piercing in the air, you felt like you couldn't breathe.
The bullets seemed endless, embedding themselves in the walls and booths. Another body covered you, keeping your face pressed to the floor. There was crying. It’s coming from you.
After what felt like minutes, the shooting stopped.
Silence followed.
“Sit rep.”
The body above you finally lets you lift your head. You look around to see the diner in carnage. The plush in the booths were torn and shredded, some of the stuffing still hovering in the air. Everything glass on the counter were shattered. The cold wind came in through the broken windows.
“Good here.” A voice broke through the ringing in your ears.
“Johnny?”
“A'm right here.” He grumbled. There was a string of words that sounded like cursing.
Your heart is still pounding like a mallet as the boys around you began to get up.
You were being moved before you could even realize it. You were being lifted in the air and back on your feet like you weighed nothing before you could get your bearings. Simon’s eyes scanned you over as you were finally able to start moving your tongue again “W-what-“
“Gaz, secure the perimeter.” Movement followed his orders,  one of your “customers” move to Simon's order. Your confusion is hard to hide. “Go get your stuff. We’re leaving.” You look around at the two remaining men left in the diner; Simon, his hand on your back, keeping you steady and Johnny, the Scottish man with a Mohawk and his white dress shirt bleeding across his peck.
“You’re hurt.”
Both men looked to where you pointed, Johnny grumbled under his breath, “Fuckers ruined my new shirt.” He poked at the blood, some coming off his hand as he examined it.
Something about seeing him bleeding shocks you back to life, “T-the first aid kit is in the back. I can-" you move to go retrieve it.
Johnny caresses your shoulder “It’s alright, little bird, it’s just a scratch. I’ll be fine.” The vibrant blue in his eyes holds a boyish joy to them. “But I’ll never say no to you.” He winks.
The sudden flirtatious attitude from Johnny was whiplash compared to the carnage that surrounded you. “Not now, Johnny.” Simon scolded. It didn’t look like Johnny was sorry, “I gotta tell Price the meeting’s a bust.” He slides his phone out, trying how to not pissed the boss of about this. “Make sure she gets her stuff.” He was at least going to grant you that before bringing you into the mess that is tonight.
Johnny salutes, trying to break under the primal fear of the past few minutes that consumes you into being paralyzed in the moment. With Ghost and Gaz gone, it’s up to Johnny to keep you calm enough to not go into shock. His chest puffs up a bit, being given the opportunity to keep you safe and calm, but it’s not the time. “Actually, birdie,” Your eyes finally meet his, “I could use that first aid kit. Could you get it for me?”
A task. Something to help you move forward. You nod soundlessly and gave yourself a moment to calm your shaking hands, your barely controlled breathing.
First aid kit.
You enter the back of the room and head to the office where your stuff is. You’re mind is still a blank with static before you have a chance to realize you’re not alone.
Another weight, this time less gentle, slams you against the frozen storage and pins you there. The wind is knocked out of you as a body twice the size of you, unable to scream or cry in pain. “No one mentioned there would be a reward.” The stranger leered.
You try to speak again, but there’s a third body knocked into you. Your head is slammed against the door and everything hurts. You fall to the floor, no longer pinned against the cold door. Regardless, the world still spins.
You hear a struggle and the few moments of clarity you can get shows that Johnny is grappling with on the floor outside the office, his opponent in a headlock. The other man throws an elbow that connects and his grip falters, allowing him to get the upper hand.
The strange man swings again, this time an elbow to Johnny’s nose knocks off his balance, “You fucker!” He growls.
The larger man is able to tower over Johnny, taunting. You are so paralyzed in fear when you spot the shine of a barrel coming out.
A shot rings out. There’s yelling
When you open your eyes again,  the body that was towering over Soap was toppling over, dead weight. The blood pouring out of the hole in his skull a shocking horror to you. You finally start to scream.
The darker skinned man came forward in your field of view, “You’re okay, princess, you don’t need to be scared.” Too late. You slip out of consciousness.

For a while, all I could hear was my heart beating in my ears. Even though I could see everyone’s mouths moving, their words were muffled. If I could understand, I didn’t know if I’d be able to speak.
Was I breathing? Yes, it was just a little erratic.
Focus, Y/N, focus. There are more important things going on right now.
I held in a breath for a few seconds and then exhaled. It was fine, everything was fine. Emma was alive, Jordan and Marie were together, and I was breathing. It didn’t matter if my chest felt like it was on fire.
“Y/N!”
I jumped at the sound of my name and snapped my attention to Marie. Her eyebrows knitted together as we made eye contact. Then, I realized that they were all looking at me and swallowed.
“Um, sorry?” I uttered.
“We were just saying that we need to stop Sam from doing something to Dr. Cardoza,” Jordan explained.
I nodded slowly, willing my brain to start working. “Okay.”
“Can you sense anything about what might happen?” Emma asked.
“I can try.”
I closed my eyes but as soon as I tried to picture Sam, it felt like someone smacked a percussion mallet against my head. I flinched and started rubbing my temples.
“Y/N, what’s wrong?” Marie asked.
I carefully opened my eyes and straightened back up. “I can’t see anything. I think I used my powers too much because I’m getting a migraine.”
“Sorry,” Emma muttered sheepishly.
If I didn’t think my brain would throb out of my head, I would have playfully elbowed her. Instead, I massaged my temples and sat on Emma’s bed. The racing thoughts and my ability were starting to become too much for my brain to handle.  If only there was a way besides alcohol or weed to shut it off for a bit.
“Maybe you should stay behind,” Marie proposed gently.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and kept my eyes on the toes of my black Prada loafers.
You should stay behind since you’re useless.
“Yeah, I don’t want to hold you all back,” I agreed. “I’m feeling nauseous anyway.”
“That’s not what I meant. I mean---” Marie paused as she stepped closer to me.
I tried to force my muscles to relax as she squatted in front of me and placed her hands on my shoulders. It was hard to know where to look since she was right in front of me.
“Your blood sugar is really low,” she stated.
“You can see that?” Emma and I unisoned.
Marie didn’t acknowledge us as her eyes glided to meet my own. Suddenly, my chest didn’t feel like it was on fire but more like it was melting. I didn’t know which one was better.
“Have you eaten anything today?” she asked.
“Yes,” I answered.
“Besides the protein bar, I gave you,” Jordan commented, striding over to stand next to Marie.
He looked like a disappointed mother and made me want to shrink further away from everyone.
“I’ve been a little busy trying to help you guys solve a mystery, find my best friend, and keep up with school and Si Chi,” I defended. “I can take care of myself; just go find Andre and Cate and they can help you stop Sam.”
Jordan scoffed. “Obviously, you can’t be trusted to do that, freshie.”
“Don’t call me that,” I bit.
My tone wasn’t supposed to be that harsh and I wasn’t sure why I even said it in the first place; it just flew out of my mouth.
“Sorry, I don’t know why I said that,” I quickly apologized.
“It’s because you’re hangry; you turn into a monster every time,” Emma said.
“No, I don’t!”
“Do I need to remind you about how I had to stop you from ripping a girl’s hair out because you didn’t have a snack?” Emma retorted.
“How old were you?” Marie asked.
“Thirteen,” Emma and I answered.
“I guess I got off pretty easy,” Jordan joked.
My eyes flew back down to my shoes as the others chuckled and I wrapped my arms around me. Seconds later, Marie’s hands gently grabbed mine and she pulled me to my feet.
“Why don’t we stop by Vought-a-Burger before this…adventure?” she suggested.
I wrinkled my nose at the thought of greasy food, but my growling stomach agreed. “But I don’t know if my powers will work.”
“We can’t leave a member of Mystery Incorporated behind,” Jordan teased.
When I finally looked up, they all looked determined and I had a feeling that even with my best efforts, I couldn’t argue with them. I could feel some relief bubbling up in the pit of my stomach.
“I call dibs on Velma,” I managed.
Honestly, it would have been nice to have some space from Jordan and Marie so I could process my thoughts. They swirled around my brain like a tornado and destroyed everything in their path. The cheeseburger and fries that I had eased some of it, but I was still functioning at about half my capacity.
It didn’t help that every time I blinked, the image of Jordan and Marie kissing flooded my brain. They were so passionate that I almost felt bad for interrupting. They both held each other like they were afraid that the other would disappear if they didn’t. I thought that kind of thing only existed in movies but I guessed they were the lucky ones. It was so stupid that I was so close to buying into Emma’s delusion; they obviously didn’t like me. Plus, I’d wanted them to like each other since their rivalry started so I got what I wanted.
Didn’t I?
“What?” Emma asked.
I jumped in her lap, realizing that I was in the back of Andre’s car. The sun was almost down, and I could hardly see any of the trees or houses we passed on either side of the road. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Marie and Jordan seemed to be trying very hard not to touch each other.
“Nothing, sorry,” I muttered back.
“So, what are Sam’s powers again?” Jordan asked.
“He’s crazy strong; it was really hard to take him down that one time,” Andre replied.
“He’s also basically indestructible. I saw him rip off so many guards’ heads in the Woods,” Emma added.
“Why do you sound like you enjoyed it?” I asked.
“I didn’t,” she insisted. “It was impressive, though.”
I laughed but it was hollower than my usual laugh, but no one would notice.
“So, he’s basically like Jordan’s male form,” Marie concluded.
“Great, chemically imbalanced and strong; perfect combination,” Cate dryly stated from the front.
“And what’s our plan of attack?” Andre asked.
“Well, we need Cardoza alive if we’re going to find out anything else about the Woods and we also need Sam alive as a witness,” I observed.
“So, we should detain Sam and keep Dr. Cardoza safe,” Marie concluded.
“And it sounds like it will take all of us to do that,” Jordan added.
I shrugged and leaned back against Emma. “Well, not all of us.”
Marie’s hand nudged mine. “Hey, are you still not feeling okay?”
“I’m feeling better but with how you all described Sam, I’m not a good match, especially not like this,” I replied.
“Then you can help me get Dr. Cardoza and his family out of the house,” Cate offered.
“Okay.”
“And let me try to talk to Sam before we do anything…violent; we connected,” Emma insisted.
“Emma has a boyfriend,” I sang.
“Shut up!”
“You first!”
A few minutes later, Andre parked around the corner from Dr. Cardoza’s house. He lived in a nice neighborhood where the neighbors were spread out enough that they would not notice six strangers sneaking through greenery to reach the targeted house. Andre led the group with Jordan not too far behind him and Emma and Marie in the middle. Somehow, Cate and I took up the rear and I chuckled.
“If this was a horror movie, we’d be screwed,” I commented.
“No, if anything, we’d be the reason everyone lives because we would know the killer or the demon or whatever was coming,” Cate playfully refuted. “I know this is kind of shitty timing but what’s going on with you?”
I hesitated. “What do you mean?”
“I mean you’re zoning out way more than usual and even though you love solving crimes and mysteries in class, you’re acting like we’re holding you hostage.”
Sometimes, I thought Cate didn’t need her powers; she was already super observant.
“I said I wasn’t feeling well earlier but they all insisted that I come along,” I explained.
“‘They’ as in Emma, Jordan, and Marie?” she asked.
I nodded. “I tried to stay behind but they wouldn’t let me.”
“So, what happened with Jordan and Marie?”
I balked. “What makes you think this has anything to do with them?”
Cate paused in her steps and arched an eyebrow. “I don’t have to be a mind reader to know that something’s up with you three. You’re all acting super tense and it’s weirding me out.”
As quickly and quietly as I could, I explained everything that happened once Emma and I got back to her dorm. Cate nodded and her expression barely changed as I spoke.
“It’s okay to be jealous, Y/N,” Cate concluded.
“But I’m not jealous; there’s nothing to be jealous of. They’re my friends and now they’re…something else, with each other, and that one time I kissed Jordan doesn’t count---” “What?” Cate exclaimed.
“It doesn’t matter. What matters is we’re supposed to be helping a crooked doctor not be pulverized by Luke’s little brother.” “Oh no, it matters. I need context if I’m going to help you.”
“It was during a sparring match; I had a vision it would help me win and it did, happy?”
“Very; you’re making progress out of your denial. Now, if you would admit that you’re jealous, you’d be even better.”
Before I could argue that I wasn’t jealous, we’d reached the front door. Andre signaled us to be quiet, which made Jordan roll his eyes, and pushed the door open. As soon as we walked it, the scent of homemade pasta and general coziness cloaked us. The house was nice and modern but eerily quiet. When we made it to the foyer, Andre signaled for us to split up.
“Who made you the leader?” Jordan hissed.
“Do you have a better idea?” Andre quietly shot back.
As they were about to continue arguing, someone started shouting from another room. We ended up splitting up, Cate, Emma, and me in one group and Jordan, Andre, and Marie in the other. After some navigating, we all ended up in the kitchen, where Dr. Cardoza and his family were cowering under Sam’s glare. In person, he was much taller and more intimidating. His glare was fiery and his jaws were clenched so tight I wondered if he broke skin.
“Sam, I’m Andre, I knew your brother, Luke, and I know he wouldn’t want you to do this,” Andre implored, calmly approaching Sam from one side.
Sam whirled around towards Andre. “I know you, you caught me when I escaped!” Andre pressed his hand to his chest. “I’m sorry about that, man, I am. I wouldn’t have done that if I knew what was going on.”
“Let us help you,” Cate added.
“Help me, how can you help me? They’ll just send me back there!” Sam turned back to Dr. Cardoza. “No, the only person who can help me is dead and the only thing that can help me stay away from the Woods is if he is dead.”
“Sam, don’t do this!” Emma pleaded.
Sam paused for a second and the look he gave her was chilling. It wasn’t scary but it was like he had given up in a way.
“Don’t try to get in the way, Emma,” he warned.
“But if he dies, they’ll send you back,” I blurted out.
His eyes snapped to mine and I tried to steady myself.
“She’s right, Sam, they’ll send you back. I can help you too,” Dr. Cardoza added.
“SHUT UP!” Sam roared.
I flinched at the noise. “The only way you win is to let him live. You won’t like it but you can’t kill everyone.”
“I can get pretty close.”
At the same time Sam began approaching Dr. Cardoza and his family, Andre started using his powers to slow him down. The screech of his shoes against the wooden floor grated my ears but all I could do was watch as Sam faced Andre and shoved him with so much force that he went flying into another room.
Cate grabbing my wrist snapped me out of my fog and I let her drag me to the other side of the kitchen island, where Dr. Cardoza and his family were still in shock. Cate grabbed Dr. Cardoza’s arm.
“Come with us if you don’t want your face punched in,” she instructed.
Dr. Cardoza and his partner seemed to hesitate but their daughter stepped towards me.
“We don’t have a lot of time!” I insisted.
The two men shared a glance before following Cate and I out of the kitchen, through some hallways, and outside.
“Stay in whatever motel or hotel you can get to and drive fast,” Cate panted, her breath visible in the cool air.
The family agreed and Dr. Cardoza’s partner started helping their daughter into the car while Dr. Cardoza faced us.
“I don’t know how we can thank you for saving us,” he expressed, his voice choked.
“Don’t get killed,” Cate offered.
He nodded and as quickly as he could, he scrambled into the car and Cate and I watched them speed down the road.
“Well, that part went well,” I noted.
Cate nodded. “Hopefully, they’ll keep a low profile.”
Then, there was a loud crash inside. As Cate and I ran back into the house, there were several more crashes and destructive sounds. I thought my feet moved quicker than they probably did in reality but when I finally got to the kitchen, it wasn’t good. Andre was still passed out on the living room floor and Marie had long blood tendrils wrapped around Sam’s ankles as he tried to approach Jordan. Sam looked like a rabid animal as he fought to move and snatched at the blood around him. Somehow, he managed to fling it off and flung Marie across the room as well.
She landed with a yelp and I instantly bolted forward. Once I reached Marie’s side, I started looking her over.
“Are you okay? Is anything broken?” I rambled.
“I’m fine. Y/N!”
Her exclamation came a little late as my head jerked back violently and I was pulled to my feet. The pain was so distracting that it took a few seconds for me to recognize Sam was holding me by a handful of braids.
“You helped them leave,” he stated.
My mind raced for anything to get him to let go of me. This was different from any other spar I was in; in those situations, it was clear that the other person wasn’t going to fatally hurt me and that it was all practice. With Sam, I was positive he would kill me if he could. We never talked about what to do in these situations.
“You were going to hurt the family too…they have nothing to do with this,” I gasped.
Sam tightened his already iron grip and I yelped. “Don’t do that; you’re not real!” “Let her go, Sam,” Jordan rasped.
 I glanced up and noticed him slowly approaching Sam from behind. Jordan’s eyes were darker than usual and trained on Sam. His jaw tightened and something strange ran up the back of my neck.
“Don’t hurt him,” I pleaded.
“We said we wouldn’t kill him. Anyone can get hurt in a fight,” Jordan said, eyes never leaving Sam.
Desperately, my hands clawed at Sam’s but he didn’t move. Instead, he turned his head towards Jordan and challenged him with his eyes.
“Oh, do you like her or something?”
Jordan seemed to hesitate and I frowned at his response. Jordan never cracked under pressure, especially not when it came to fights.
Then, blood splattered across Sam’s face and he released me with a shout. My knees stung as I hit the ground and I scrambled onto my feet, narrowly running into Marie, who pulled me towards the dining room. There, Cate was standing in front of the table, watching the scene stunned while Emma ran over to us.
“Are you alright?” she asked.
“Yeah, but my head’s really sore.” I turned to Marie and thanked her.
“You’re welcome,” she responded.
We couldn’t talk as Jordan and Sam began struggling. They were both basically at a standstill and holding each other off, both their feet digging into the floor. After a few seconds, Sam yelled and started pushing Jordan, creating cracks under his feet. Then, Jordan shifted, slipped from Sam’s grip, and got behind him. Before Sam could turn, she sent an energy blast at him that knocked him through the glass door leading to the backyard.
Jordan ran after him, and Marie and I trailed after her. Sam was writhing on the grass holding his side but it was easy to tell that he could get back to fighting if he wanted to. A moment later, Andre limped outside and stood next to me.
“Okay, what do we do now?” he asked.
“He’s not even getting tired,” Jordan spat.
“If Cate can get close enough, she could get him to calm down,” I breathed. “Where did she go?”
Before anyone could answer, we were interrupted by the ground shaking beneath us. All we needed was an earthquake to cap this perfect night. However, it wasn’t a natural disaster causing the ground to shake, it was Emma. She emerged from the house about nine feet tall and she moved slowly towards Sam.
“Emma?” Marie asked.
“You can get big?” I chimed.
“Can we talk about this later?” Emma voiced.
In three steps, she stepped over the four of us, reached Sam, and carefully pinned him to the ground. Sam instantly began wriggling under her grip.
“Let me go!” he roared.
“No, Sam, you’re just gonna hurt yourself and other people.” Emma looked over at us. “We need to---”
Waking up after going out was always a strange experience. Sometimes, I felt like I’d been poisoned and stayed in bed all day. Other times, I woke up sleeping next to one of my Si Chi sisters or a friend in someone else’s dorm or house. That day was different since I was rudely awakened from a deep sleep.
“Shit, sorry!” a male voice called before a door slammed closed.
The sheets shifted around me, and I groaned as I started to tug them back over me, refusing to open my eyes. My body felt much heavier than usual and as I shifted, my leg touched something warm and soft. It almost felt like someone else’s leg and that guy who left sounded like Andre.
My mind was still halfway in a dream as my eyes blinked open. It felt like my body was fighting between consciousness and unconsciousness and unconsciousness was so close to winning. At some point in my blinking, I noticed that the sheets wrapped around me were gray.
Weird, I thought, mine are powder blue.
“Y/N, wake up,” a feminine voice urged.
“Five more minutes,” I whined.
The owner of the voice started softly pushing my back and their hand warmed up my back.
Wait, their hand was touching my bare back.
I bolted upright, the sheets falling into my lap. My eyes scanned the room and instead of pristine Etsy printouts and tasteful home décor accenting ivory walls, the off-white walls were peeling and covered in graffiti. My breathing was heavy as I glanced to my left and found Marie sheepishly looking at me, holding the sheets up to her chest.
We didn’t, we couldn’t have. This made no sense; we barely spoke since…since something. It felt like there was a gap in my brain but all I knew was that this didn’t quite feel right. But also, my heart skipped a beat when our eyes met. Then, my legs and everything else below my waist suddenly felt sore, and the more I thought about it, so did my chest and neck.
“Morning, freshie,” Jordan sang.
I gasped and my head snapped to the right. They were in their feminine form and eyeing me in a way that was not helping my breathing. When their eyes trailed down, I remembered my chest was exposed and quickly yanked the sheets up to my chin.
What the hell happened last night?

Im excited for DR2 pt2 for a number of reasons, and one of them is the prospect of watching Nya just barely hold onto her composure by a thread. Not only is Jay gone, but now her brother is too. Realistically speaking they'll probably just go the same route they did in s9, where shes grieving quietly but trying to keep a brave face for Lloyd, but god itd be so juicy if we got to see her well and truly crack for once, yknow?
I think the only times we ever saw her allow herself to visibly grieve for anyone was after Zane's sacrifice and Cole's fall - yet in both of those cases, she rebounded (or at least, appeared to rebound) relatively quickly. Now that we have 15+ seasons of content to better understand her character i think its reasonable to say that in both cases she probably didnt truly process that grief but instead shoved it down so she could be strong for her friends/protect herself from feeling vulnerable - but now? Not only has her character come a long way, but she's also missing two of the most important people in her life. She has been doing an alright job staying strong in the face of Jay's absence, but to lose Kai as well? So soon after finding him again post-Merge?
Anyway dont mind me, ill be off in the corner smashing Nya's emotions with my angst mallet :)

I Tried My Hand at Designing the Full Witches of the Main Cast of Magia Record.
Tumblr media
CAMPANELLA (Yachiyo Nanami)
The ticket puncher witch. Her nature is admittance. From not only beneath her dress, but under her hat and as well as the multitude of eyes on her tail, black watery tears spill forth with such intensity that her entire barrier is flooded with her tears. She eternally waits for a train for her board on and be reunited with her friends, but she struggles to find the train station itself. Using her lantern, she will eternally wander her ever flooded barrier to find her way to the station. If one were to be harmed by the ticket puncher at the end of her scorpion like tail, great devastation and tragedy awaits them in the near future.
Tumblr media
YU HONG (Tsuruno Yui)
The witch of ham. Her nature is harmonious. Both great fortune and great success are the ingredients used by this witch in her kitchen, but all that she ends up producing is dubious meals that may or may not cause harm to the human body. She detests any form of household tensions and if she senses even the slightest resentment of a family member, she will force her victim into eating a feast of her aforementioned dubious cooking. Only those who don’t hide themselves from family troubles or conflict can defeat her.
Tumblr media
BEATRICE (Felicia Mitsuki)
The eyelid witch. Her nature is tumultuous. A witch who spends most, if not all her time completely asleep within her barrier, and will almost never actively hunt humans when awake. On the other hand, this witch for whatever reason harbours a complete and utter hatred for other witches and whenever she is awake, will mercilessly locate and smash other witches flat with her mallet like hands. If there is something positive that catches her attention however, she will fear that they will somehow leave her and attempt to bury them in her concrete like tears that she spews forth from her eyes.
Tumblr media
THERESIA (Sana Futaba)
The inquisition chair witch. Her nature is transparency. Eternally sitting atop a chair with a mind of its own, this innocent witch lives in perpetual torment and agony. The chair itself is not a part of the witch, and carries out its duty to keep the witch chained to its spiked body and weaponize the truly staggering amount of torture devices it has at its disposal. The witch desires not to hurt anyone and is further tormented by the acts of intense violence that unfold before her. Due to being invisible, her sobs are the only clue where to strike if one wants to hunt this pitiful witch. When the witch dies, a single innocuous sound of a cat meowing will echo through the barrier.
Tumblr media
ZOLA (Kaede Akino)
The witch of plot lands. Her nature is to be territorial. Within this witches’ head is planted the simple goal of expanding her territory. When she arrives to an urban area, she desires nothing but to return it to nature and covers it completely in rotten moss. She doesn’t tolerate any form of pest, as she sees them as encroaching on her property and will mercilessly destroy anything that steps into her barrier. Despite this outwardly aggressive behaviour, she is gentle towards the plant life in her barrier, which she grows herself. For some odd reason, these plants moan and can move on their own like zombies, so it’s best not to approach them at all.
Tumblr media
CENDRILLION (Rena Minami)
The glass slipper witch. Her nature is transformative. This witch detests herself, and desires to change no matter what. When she senses someone in her barrier, she rush up to them and tear their face off. These faces are then turned into masks, and the witch can freely transform into them. However, she cannot imitate the soul of her victims and usually just ends up acting like a wild animal. If one were to gaze into the mirror on her arm like appendage for too long, she will steal their soul. When the witch dies, a single glass slipper will fall out of no where and shatter to pieces.
Tumblr media
ELFRIEDE (Momoko Togame)
The witch of manicured nails. Her nature is self-discipline. This witch cares not where it’s power flies. It continually and proudly displays and decorates the fingers and nails that not only make up her body, but also fly around her as well. It takes great care of its shoddy manicures, but when someone insults it’s nails it becomes quite depressed and either attempts to pierce the victim with her razor sharp nails, or becomes paralyzed with insecurity. Only those who can get up again and again even after misfortune can successfully defeat this witch.
Tumblr media
TOTENTANZ (Mitama Yakumo)
The witch of flower petals. Her nature is forewarning. This witch doesn’t forget that no matter what, death comes to all things. It resents its environment and desires nothing but it’s untimely destruction. It is strangely gentlemanly, and escorts those who enter her barrier with pure white gloves, but her terrifying power that is connected to the untimely end of all things often ends up decaying anything that her petals fall upon. Even if you manage to defeat this witch, the sheer amount of pent up curses will often end up taint a soul gem to its limit and will end with a new witch springing up in her place.

I just finished the new event and i'm now completely obsessed with Jessica then i saw that you do requests for reverse 1999, specifically Jessica(*^-^*) So could i request yandere Jessica with a reader who loves trying to escape but always gets caught?
Yandere Jessica x Escapee! Fem Reader
☆ Female Reader that's loves trying to escape ☆
☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽
Yes!! You are my first Reverse 1999 request!! And I'm very happy that someone's obsessed with her like I am— like I have more than 50 wishes saved for her-
☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽
!! Not comfy with men will block on interaction !!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
• Jessica didn't understand why you kept trying to escape! She finally found someone she loves that's not Jennifer but they keep trying running away,,
• She would always ask if you were unhappy with something or someone every time she caught you and dragged you back to her cave, but you would always say the same answer! You want to leave and if you did say anything else, you were not satisfied with it for long..
• This started to make her really stress since she couldn't satisfy you and your her mate! What type of partner is she if she couldn't make mate satisfied??
• She thought about this for a while until it eventually clicked in her brain that you were just playing hide and seek!! That's all you wanted to do!! You weren't trying to leave her! You just wanted to play hide and seek without telling her!!
• Oh how stupid she was for thinking you ever wanted to leave her! You love her and she loves you!! You two were made to be!!
• With this mindset it made Jessica more calm and she had fun chasing you and recapturing you every time! But now with this mindset, she won't take what you say seriously since now she thinks that it's just a game that you want to play-
• But honestly a happy Jessica is better than a sad or angry Jessica- you don't want to know what was going through her mind when she was thinking about how to make you stop running away,, it maybe involved a mallet and your legs....

a/n: i don’t think you guys are gonna like this but i hope you all enjoy anyways!!
Chapter Twenty- To Die For
—-
“Aunt Grace?”
Your voice is small, right at the end of her bed, but some instinctual part of Grace that has adapted and evolved to fit you will always hear you.
She rubs the sleep out of her mind, let’s her mind wander to the worst, but when she sits up there’s no blood to be found anywhere on you.
“Oh,” she breathes, feeling slightly better. She cannot handle losing you too. “What’s wrong, baby? Can you not sleep?”
She hopes it’s just something like that, so she can just wrap you in her arms and drift back off to sleep. But you look so small at the end of her bed, stuffed animal tucked to your chest, eyes downcast. She knows it is not just that, and her heart hurts, she has never wanted you to feel anything other than happy.
“C’mere,” she urges, holding her hands out, and it takes you a moment but you walk over. She picks you up, helps you sit on the bed. “What’s wrong, baby?”
You let out a soft sound that starts like a cry, and Grace has never wished more for her sister to be here.
“Aunt Grace, why don’t I have a Mom?”
She thought she had a few more years until you asked, more time to mourn, more time to figure out what to say. She doesn’t know what to say, not know. How is she supposed to tell you something like this?
It’s almost like the two of you have been living in a glass cage, and she is taking a mallet to it.
“Why don’t I have a Dad?” you continue, eyes wide and fixed on her face, shiny with tears in the light from the moon that slips through the window.
“Oh, baby…” she whispers. She feels nothing like the woman she knows she is. She feels nothing like a guardian to you, an aunt, someone to love you. “You do have a Mom and Dad.”
“I do?” you are just a child.
She puts her hand on the side of her face. “Yes.”
“Where are they?” you are just a child.
She hates this world for being so cruel, she hates the world for taking so much from before you even knew what they meant to you.
“They’re… not here,” is the best she can come up with. She almost can’t be the one to tell you they’re dead. “You’ll see them, one day.”
“A small time?” you ask hopefully, those bright and curious Augustine eyes staring right at Grace. “Or a big time?”
She rubs her thumb over your cheek.
She can’t break it to you, she can’t be the one to break you.
“You’ll see them, one day,” she says.

“One three,” Grace says, wrapping her arms around Jake’s legs.
You tentatively place your hands under his back, feeling like you’re betraying The People as well, like you’re just as bad as him.
“One,” Norm starts, “two, three!” he grunts, and the three of you manage to get Jake into the helicopter.
You take a deep breath, reach for his wheelchair, but Grace grabs it before you can. The gunshots start. You flinch, but you’re used to the noise by now. They’re not quite near you, not at this position.
“Get on!” she shouts over the whirring of the helicopter blades, ready to take off and take you far away from here. It’s easy to leave Hell’s Gate, this place was never a home for you.
You look Grace up and down, but she is already picking the wheelchair up, so you turn. You crawl on, towards the bench in the middle, panting from the running and the thrill. Adrenaline pumps in your veins like a second supply of blood, making you feel so alive and on top of the world.
In this moment, with the gunshots ringing in your ears, the sound of the helicopter blades becoming everything, cool metal under your palms as you steady yourself against the bench, wind whipping around, a thousand colors bursting behind your eyelids- you have never felt more alive.
“Grab my hand!” Norm shouts, and you open your eyes to find him tugging her on. “Come on, we’re in. Let’s go!” he shouts to Trudy, and you start to lift off the ground.
The realization comes fast and quick, like a strike of lightening. The sides are open wide, and with the way the helicopter is turning, where you are, where the bullets are coming from- they’ll hit you unless you duck.
You mean to do it, you really do, the world is just all too much and too loud and your adrenaline is fading and you can barely think-
“Y/N!” someone shouts, before a body slams over top you. You groan as your head hits the metal bench, but something like the forest fills your nose, even though you’re still at the base.
The base smells of metal and humans, not like the forest. That smell has been burned out of the air, here.
But it’s the forest overtop you, covering you like a blanket.
The gunshots stop for a moment, and the helicopter finally finishes its turn, now moving straight away from the base.
“Are you okay?” a voice asks, a hand brushing back your hair, rough, a warrior’s touch. But the motion is still soft, it’s simply the pads of his fingers that are textured and wrinkled. “Are you hurt? Baby? You ok?”
When your open your eyes, Jake is on top of you, but he pulls back his hand, using it to help himself sit up straight.
You burn with and without his touch.
You tell yourself it’s just the memory, but you know a part of him is forever burning inside of you.
It’s like you can never escape him, and this is all so normal, and it all comes rushing back.
You push against his chest, and he lets you, eyes roaming over your body to see if you’re hurt.
“I can take care of myself,” you spit. He chuckles to himself, staring at your thigh and smiling, tongue touching his canine tooth. When he looks up, you can’t stop looking at him.
“Never hurts to have some extra help, sweetheart.”
You pull in your bottom lip and sneer at him. “I don’t need your help. I don’t,” you say, but your voice holds an undercurrent of something you wish wasn’t there. Doubt. Love.
“Well it sure looked like it.” Everyone else is shouting and laughing, celebrating the victory, but your entire world narrows down to him and you. To this moment.
“I don’t need you,” you hiss.
“Doesn’t matter,” he shrugs, staring at you hard for one more second, eyes like a fire on yours, until he turns away. “Would still die for you, even if you hate me.”
I do, you want to say. I hate you. You betrayed me, betrayed Neytiri.
But you don’t. Because he saved your life, and you love him even after all of this.
You swallow quick, slide your hand along the metal.
You watch as the tip of your middle finger touches his pinky, and then you watch as he places his pinky over the ends of your fingers. When you don’t move away, because in this moment you really don’t think you can, his hand slides into yours like it was made for him to be there.
“I hate you,” you whisper, as the both of your stare at your entwined hands.
He laughs. “I love you.”
Suddenly, Grace’s groan cuts through the air, taking your eyes away from your hands and towards her.
“This is gonna ruin my whole day,” she chuckles, and when your eyes meet hers, they’re wide, in fear, in love, you don’t know.
She looks down to her stomach, and you follow her gaze, see the blood spurting out from behind her hand.
It’s like a blooming flower, you think, before your throat forms a sob and tears stream down your face.
