Summary: Grandma's funeral brings out a side of Ms. Sweetheart that Eddie hasn't ever seen, leaving the two of them questioning everything they've built up together.
Warnings: funeral service (I tried to keep it as neutral as possible so it could apply to any religion), mentions of cause of Grandma's death, failed attempt at sex, pretty much all angst sorry

Eddie can’t remember the last time he went to a funeral. It might’ve been for one of Wayne’s friends, or a distant great-aunt twice removed. He doesn’t even own a proper suit for such an occasion; everything he’s wearing actually belongs to Wayne. He smooths down the creases in his black slacks; the material of anything other than worn denim is foreign against his legs. The elbows of his coat jacket are patched, and he slides his palms over them in embarrassment.
He takes a seat in one of the back rows, trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible while the other mourners file in. There’s a pit growing in his stomach as his gaze swoops to the coffin resting at the front of the room. The realization that Grandma was inside was almost too much for him to handle, and he’d only met her a month ago. He hadn’t known her when she was…herself, but he saw glimpses of her now and again. The last time he was over for a Wednesday night dinner, she rested her head on his shoulder as though she’d done it a million times. You’d mouthed sorry, but Eddie had simply smiled and let Grandma stay there as long as she wanted. If he was being honest, he felt special, knowing that she was comfortable with him.
Eddie’s eyes are only drawn from the casket when he sees you walk among your family. He immediately takes note of your face, normally soft and vibrant, now stoic and emotionless. It’s a sharp contrast to your relatives, who wear their grief through bloodshot eyes and tear-stained cheeks. The hymn playing in the background fades out as a man speaks up at the podium. 
Eddie’s barely listening, keeping his attention on you. He watches your mouth move as you recite the prayers along with the rest of your family, though he’s only half-listening to them. He’s never been one for organized religion, but he echoes the closing statement when everyone else does. 
That’s when you stand up, smoothing down your dress at the back of your thighs, and walk towards the front of the room. You’re clutching a piece of paper in your hand, which Eddie notices is slightly trembling. He locks eyes with you, dragging his teeth along his bottom lip and offers the smallest of encouraging smiles. You acknowledge it with a tiny nod in his direction before taking a deep breath and beginning the eulogy. 
“Um, h-hi.,” you start, stumbling over your words awkwardly. You clear your throat and try again. “Thank you all for coming to honor and remember Grandma. It’s evident that she meant a lot to so many people. 
“When I was writing this eulogy, I kept thinking about who she was as a person.” You don’t let your gaze drift from Eddie’s, and you could swear that he’s the only force keeping you from crumbling to the ground in a heap of grief. “For a lot of us, we wonder what ‘big thing’ will define our lives. The occasion that people will remember us by, you know? But with Grandma, there wasn’t one ‘big thing.’ Her life was a series of little kindnesses that she made sure to sprinkle into her everyday life. Like, when I was a kid, my dad broke his ankle. My mom couldn’t leave me home alone, so Grandma drove him to and from the hospital and stayed with him while he waited. She always took care of us. 
“One of my favorite memories is how she would bring me a bouquet of flowers after every dance recital I was in. She’d be waiting for me by the stage door with a big smile on her face, telling me what a great job I did, even if I totally messed up…she was the best. All she wanted was for the people she loved to be happy. 
“And that’s what I associate with Grandma—love. How much I loved her, and how much she loved us. Just a few weeks ago, she was sharing Oreos with the kid I tutor, and it reminded me of how she used to be with me.” At that line, Eddie feels his lip quiver, tears dampening his lashes, and he ducks his head to keep you from seeing him break. This time, it’s more for your sake than his, since you’re leaning on him to remain upright. “I encourage all of you to find the little kindnesses in life, and to be the kindness in someone’s day. 
“Grandma, you are already so missed. I hope you’re seeing the values you instilled in each of us. Rest easy. We’ll take it from here.” The only sounds in the entire room are the heels of your shoes clacking on the floor and sniffling from nearly everyone else in the congregation. You take your seat quietly, bowing your head as though trying to hide.
The rest of the service is a blur of hymns and prayers; nothing, Eddie notes, nearly as moving as the eulogy you gave. He barely notices when the people around him start moving, keeping a watchful eye on you. You’re trying to blend in amongst your black-clad relatives, but Eddie has no problem finding you. He cranes his neck just in time to see your family make a right through the doors, while you pivot left. 
Instinctively, his hands tuck into his pants pocket as he fumbles for his cigarettes and lighter. He has no idea what to say to you, no idea where to even begin. He needs a smoke or three to clear his head before he sees you and stammers out some half-witted acknowledgment of your loss. There’s no time for that; however, because as soon as he steps outside, he sees you sitting on the steps. It’s freezing outside, but your arms are bare, and Eddie can see the prickle of goosebumps lining your skin.
“What are you doing out here by yourself?” he asks, drawing your attention as he takes a seat next to you. He shrugs off his own jacket, placing it over your shoulders without a second thought. 
You offer him a sad smile, tugging the coat so it covers more of you. You didn’t realize how cold you were until you felt the contrast of his body heat. “Trying to avoid my family,” you admit, placing your hand over Eddie’s. “Could you take me home? I got a ride here from my uncle, but I really don’t want to go out to eat with everyone.” They’re probably arguing over where to get lunch right now, acting as though their matriarch isn’t about to be lowered into the ground.
“You sure?” Eddie’s eyebrows pinch together in concern. “I mean, I don’t mind, but I don’t want to take you away from them or anything.” He can picture the sneers he’ll receive, a pit forming in his stomach.
You remain unfazed to the conundrum he faces. “Trust me, you’d be doing me a favor. I can’t…” your voice catches, so you restart your sentence. “I can’t sit there while everyone’s smiling and laughing. That’s what happens when an old, sick person dies; people don’t even try to hide their relief. I need…I need to be alone.” You tuck your lips inside your mouth, attempting to bury your feelings.
Eddie nods, reaching over to take his keys out of the jacket you’re now wearing. “Yeah, no, I get it. We can get outta here.” He stands up, takes your hand in his to help you to your feet, and leads you to the car as inconspicuous as possible. The last thing either of you need is to be confronted by one of your relatives.
The two of you sit in the car quietly, without even the radio on. Eddie can’t remember the last time he’s had a silent car ride; he either has music playing, Harris yammering his ear off, or a combination of both. He keeps his hands at ten and two, internally debating whether or not to rest one on your knee. It wouldn’t be a sexual thing, not even close, but he doesn’t want you to get the wrong idea. His grip remains steady, the hum of the engine is the only sound.
You take this time to study him, taking in the crow’s feet that line the edges of his eyes, the tiny patch of stubble that he’d missed while shaving, the slight dimple in his chin. You try and turn before he can catch you, and though your efforts are fruitless, he doesn’t quite call you out on it. “Y’good?”
“Y-Yeah,” you stutter, smoothing a part of your dress that isn’t wrinkled. “Could you come inside for a little while? I thought I wanted to be by myself, but I really want you to stay.”
You really want him to stay. Not just that you need company, but you want him specifically. The notion sets all of Eddie’s nerve endings alight. “‘Course,” he replies, perhaps a bit too casually to cover up his excitement over the realization that he brings you some form of comfort.
When he pulls into the apartment complex’s parking lot and shuts off the ignition, he takes the opportunity to hold your hand again. It’s so much different than when he held it a few days earlier on your date, when there was an atmosphere of joy and hope. Now it’s like he’s pulling you along, like his lead is what has you placing one heel-clad foot in front of the other.
You unlock the door, accidentally leaving the key within its latch, and Eddie quietly removes it and places it on the table. His fingers ghost your biceps to remove your–his–coat from your body, but you just pull it on farther like a safety blanket.
“Y’want coffee? ‘M gonna put on a pot,” you offer quietly, already heading over to the kitchen. You scoop out a serving of coffee grounds for you, inhaling the hazelnut scent before dumping it into the basket, glancing over at him for his response.
“Uh, yeah, sure,” he nods, and you put another scoop in before filling the carafe with tap water. With a flick of the power button, the Black + Decker rumbles and kicks on, and the drip drip drip of coffee fills the room.
You grab two mugs from the cupboard and place them on the counter. “How’d you even find out about the funeral?” 
Eddie walks over, though he feels as though he can’t get close enough. He just wants to hold you tight and never let go, but you’ve put up some sort of barrier that he can’t quite interpret. “Oh, um, I asked Byers. I hope you don’t mind–I tried calling you, but it said the line was disconnected.”
Your cheeks burn. “That was Grandma.” Eddie looks confused–rightfully so–and you elaborate. “The morning that she…she got annoyed with the phone ringing, so when I wasn’t looking, she took the scissors and cut the wire.”
Eddie’s jaw drops in disbelief. “You’re joking.”
“I wish I was. I left the house for a few minutes to get a new phone, and when I came back, she’d fallen asleep and…” you swallow thickly, rummaging through the refrigerator for the tiny carton of half-and-half, “…and she never woke up. First call I made with the new phone was to 9-1-1, but it was too late.” Too late. That’s what the EMTs told you: I’m sorry, but it’s too late. 
“Oh, Sweetheart. My sweet girl…” Eddie’s heart lurches, and he instinctively reaches out to you. One hand lays between your shoulder blades while the other rubs up and down your spine. He’s careful not to let it drop too low, never going past the small of your back. Though you’re pressed flush to his chest, there’s still a strange disconnect between you. 
Despite every urge you have to cling to him, you pull away and shove a teaspoon into the sugar bowl, sliding it towards him on the counter. “S’okay. I mean, it’s not, but…they said she’d had a heart attack. If I didn’t get the phone, I wouldn’t have been able to call for an ambulance anyway.” The dripping of the coffee maker slows as it finishes brewing. “Only thing I could do is go back in time and stop her from cutting the wires, and Melvald’s was all outta time machines,” you joke, but it falls flat.
Eddie frowns, crossing his arms over his chest as he leans against the countertop. “You don’t have to do this, y’know.”
“I’m sorry?”
“Pretend like you’re alright,” he explains, voice hardly louder than a whisper. He tucks a lock of hair behind his ear.
You feel an anger rising within you, though you’re unable to pinpoint its origin. “I am alright,” you insist through gritted teeth.
Eddie shakes his head, peering at you through his impossibly long eyelashes. “It’s okay to be sad–”
“Don’t you get it, Eddie?” You cut him off with a snap, slamming the coffee pot down so harshly that it almost cracks. “I’m not sad. I’m not relieved. I’m not anything. My grandma just died, and I don’t feel a goddamn thing! It’s like I’m some kind of monster.”
“Hey, hey, c’mere.” He hugs you again, holds you even tighter than before as he kisses the top of your head. “You’re not a monster, ‘kay? I promise you.”
You look up at him, not quite believing his words, but you press your lips to his. He kisses you back gently; timidly even, but you deepen it and graze his tongue with your own. Your left hand weaves its way through his messy curls and your right fumbles with his belt buckle, but you’re unable to unhook the clasp before he steps back.
“What’re you–” His eyes widen and he puts his hands up to avoid touching you, clearly confused by your behavior. If you had the capacity to be honest with yourself, you’d admit that you’re not sure why you’re doing this, either.
“Please, Eddie,” you beg, trying to reconnect your lips with his, but he just pulls away again. “Please, I…I need this. I need you.”
“If we sleep together for the first time right now, while you’re like this, you’ll regret it,” he says.
You don’t deny the accusation; instead, you double down on it. “Okay, so I’ll regret it! I’ll feel regret, but at least I’ll feel something!” Your trembling fingers brush against his shirt, trying to grab onto it and bring his body to you, but he turns with a scoff.
“You’d really be okay with that?” There’s unmistakeable anger in his tone, but it’s laced with something more than that; something that sounds more like hurt. “Regretting our first time together?”
“Didn’t we almost fuck on your couch the night we met? You didn’t even know my last name. You barely knew my first name.” Your words are biting, thick with malice. “When did you become so averse to meaningless sex?”
“Meaningless?” Eddie balks, digging his fingernails into his palms until they leave crescent-shaped marks. His lips contort into a perplexed grimace as he formulates a response. “I, um, I gotta go. I’ll call you–”
“Yeah, I’ve heard that line before, and I’m not falling for it again.” You can’t stop the words before they’re tumbling from your mouth, and you can’t take them back. “Shit, Eddie–”
“Just—don’t say anything else, ‘kay? I’m leaving.” He turns around, digging into his back pocket. “This is for you. From me and Harris.” He tosses a piece of notebook paper, folded into fourths, onto the end table and closes the door with a slam.
You stand there, dumbfounded at what just occurred–mostly at your own actions. When you move towards the paper, you realize that you’re still wearing Eddie’s suit jacket, and you yank it off and throw it to the ground, leaving it in a heap. You open the note and read, vision blurred from the tears threatening to spill over.
Tumblr media
The innocent kindness of a little boy is all it takes for you to break down and cry, muffling your sobs in your palms though there isn’t anyone around to hear them. Grandma was gone. You’d chased Eddie away with the same vitriol he’d spewed at you that day at the record store. You’re really, truly alone.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” you chant to no one in particular. You’re sorry to Grandma, for leaving her home alone. You could’ve asked Jess to run out and get a new phone, but you’d needed a break from Grandma’s anger that was always directed towards you. That morning, after you’d discovered the cut phone line, there had been another argument over taking her medication, and she yelled “I HATE YOU!” at the top of her lungs. Then she sat at the table and ate a bowl of cereal like nothing had happened. Instead of taking a deep breath and brushing it off, you’d grabbed your keys and headed to RadioShack. You could’ve driven there, it would’ve made the trip much faster, but you’d decided to walk. The fresh air would do you good, you told yourself, pushing away the full truth of the matter: you’d desperately needed to be away from Grandma. When you got back, she was laying on the couch, and you would’ve sworn she was only sleeping…
You’re sorry to Eddie. Sorry that he’d wasted his time with someone who resorted to dredging up the past as soon as she felt an ounce of anger and rejection. Someone who insisted that he could trust her and then promptly shattered that rapport once he’d let his guard down.
And for a split second, you allow yourself to feel sorry for you. Sorry that you couldn’t even grieve properly without feeling like you didn’t deserve it, because if you were home, Grandma might still be alive. 
You look down at the card one more time, choking out a laugh through your tears at Harris’s offer to share his grandpa. It dawns on you that you’ll either have to stop tutoring him or continue to see Eddie on a weekly basis. Everyone who comes in contact with me gets entangled in my problems, you note miserably. Eddie’s finally getting his life together and I’m fucking it all up. He deserves better than me.
Maybe it’s a good idea to leave Hawkins and go back home, at least for the holidays. You’re not sure what type of celebrations the family will muster up, but it’s better than being alone with your thoughts. And if you never return, that might be best for everybody.
Tumblr media
The bell above the drugstore door chimes as Eddie pushes his way in. He smoked out his remaining cigarettes on the drive over, and he’s desperate for another pack. He makes a beeline for the back wall, plucking his usual Camels from the display. “Perfect,” he mutters, though his lungs would certainly disagree.
As he shuffles towards the cashier, he spots a familiar face in one of the aisles. His lurking cowardice screams at him to run away, but he shoves it deep down and talks anyway. “H-Hey, man. How’s it going?”
Jeff turns around, first bewildered at who’s speaking to him, then tensing up when he sees Eddie standing before him. “Can’t complain. Just getting some of these prenatal vitamin things for Viv,” he replies tersely, shaking the bottle to emphasize his statement.
There’s an awkward silence before Eddie speaks again. “Look, um, I’m really sorry about what happened at our last show.” He rubs the back of his neck and winces at the memory. “What I said, what I didn’t say…you’re gonna be a great dad, dude. Like, the best. I was just jealous, but that’s not an excuse to be an asshole.”
“Jealous?” Jeff cocks an eyebrow incredulously, willing Eddie to continue.
“Yeah,” Eddie nods, shamefully averting his gaze. “You’re bringing a kid into a stable household, and I couldn’t do that for Harris. I don’t regret having him, of course, but I’ll always feel guilty about the shitshow he was born into.” He taps the pack of cigarettes on his palm, biting his lower lip to shut himself up. “Anyway, I gotta get home—”
“Eddie Munson?” He turns around to see a young woman standing behind him. Her low-cut top shows off the top of her breasts, cleavage pushed up by a bra, and her jeans hug every curve. She purses her pink-glossed lips together in a flirtatious smile.
“Y-Yeah?”
“I’m Lisa.” She says this like Eddie should already know this, and he’s embarrassed to admit to himself that he can’t place the name or face. “We hooked up last summer at the Hideout? In the men’s room?” Lisa lowers her voice seductively to whisper that detail. “I haven’t seen you there in a while.”
“Oh, yeah.” There have been multiple men’s room hook-ups, but he’s not about to play detective to figure out exactly who she is, so he plays along. “The band’s been on a bit of a…hiatus, I guess.” From his peripheral vision, he can see Jeff ducking his head, and his cheeks burn with the truth.
Lisa juts out her lower lip in an exaggerated pout, though Eddie knows it’s all for show. “That’s too bad.” She lets her hand rest on his chest, leaning into him and twirling a strand of his hair around a polished fingernail. “If you’re not busy tonight, I’d love to have you over for drinks and…dessert? Recreate that night at the bar, minus the urinal?”
Eddie moves her arms from his vicinity, putting a necessary space between them. “Um, n-nah. No thanks,” he clarifies. “I’m, uh, kinda involved with someone, so…”
She remains undaunted, a small chuckle escaping her throat. “I can keep a secret. She doesn’t have to know.” She takes another step forward to close the gap, and he’s so goddamn tempted, but he shakes it off. He doesn’t have a clue what’s going to happen between you and him, but he knows he’s not going to sabotage any potential relationship.
“Well, I’ll know,” he retorts, “and I’ll feel like shit about it.”
Lisa rolls her eyes. “Whatever. Your loss.” She pivots on one heel and mumbles something under her breath that Eddie doesn’t even bother to interpret.
Jeff looks at Eddie with an amused grin as he shifts his weight from one side to the other. “So, you’re involved with someone?” He knows from what Jess has told him that Eddie went on a date with you a few days ago, but he couldn’t gauge the seriousness of the situation.
“I think so. At least, I was, until about fifteen minutes ago.” He relents and fills Jeff in about everything that happened, from your conversation over steaming coffee mugs, to the amazing kiss you’d shared as snowflakes collected on your eyelashes, to the unexpected confrontation after Grandma’s funeral today.
Jeff sighs, but it’s one of sympathy, not exasperation. “You did the right thing,” he says finally.
“I don’t think anyone’s ever said that to me.”
“Shut the fuck up,” Jeff laughs, punching him playfully on the arm. “I’m serious. And you did the right thing just now, too, with that groupie.” He clears his throat. “Viv’s baby shower is in a couple weeks. Ladies only, y’know, but I could use some help loading all the gifts into the car. And we could grab some lunch beforehand, if you want.”
Eddie nods. “Yeah, that would be great. Might have to let Harris tag along, if that’s all right.” He doesn’t want to keep asking Wayne to babysit, no matter how much the old man insists that he doesn’t mind.
“Of course. You know that little man is always welcome.” Jeff says, walking towards the register. “I’ll call you with the details.”
Eddie hesitates, letting his friend pass him by a few paces before he calls out. “Jeff?”
“Yeah?”
“What do I do about…” Eddie trails off, unwilling to finish his sentence. He feels absolutely ridiculous having this conversation in the middle of the drugstore, but he’s desperate not to fuck this up further.
Jeff scratches at his stubble with his free hand, contemplating the options as only someone who’s been in a long-term relationship and hasn’t had to navigate the nuances of a fresh relationship in ages can. “Give her some time; a few days, at least. She’s going through a lot. She needs her space, y’know, to figure things out.”
It’s not the answer Eddie was hoping for; patience has never been his forte. He wishes that Jeff would have told him to chase after you, to go get the girl and make sure she knows how much she means to him. But he knows that his friend is right, and he acknowledges his response with a small smile. “Thanks, man.”
“See ya around, Ed.”
Tumblr media
Eddie unlocks his apartment door, new pack of cigarettes in one hand and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s tucked under the other arm. He doesn’t usually splurge on ice cream, but every romantic comedy cliche has instructed him that it’s the perfect remedy for heartbreak. If that’s even what this is, he thinks, but he knows it’s true. After doing everything in his power to prevent it, he’d allowed you to break his heart. And as he shoves a spoon into the container of Devil’s Food Chocolate, it dawns on him that he’d do it all again.
He’d come to your rescue and pick the lock of Grandma’s bedroom door. He’d sit around the table and eat pizza with you, Harris, and Grandma every Wednesday night. He’d drive to your house with store-brand cookies and watch cheesy Thanksgiving movies with you just to see the smile on your face. He’d take you out for coffee and kiss you in the snow a thousand times over. And he’d go to Grandma’s funeral and drive you home and turn down your offer for sex and break his own fucking heart again and again if it meant protecting you.
He shimmies out of his starchy dress pants and unbuttons his shirt, leaving himself in just a white undershirt and his boxers as he sinks deeper into the sofa. He reaches over for the remote–now that he works when Harris is in school, he rarely has time to watch something that he actually enjoys–and notices the phone’s red flashing light indicating that he has a new voicemail.
He presses play with a clumsy finger on the button, expecting Wayne’s gruff voice or a reminder for an overdue bill. When he hears that it’s you, he sits up straight, nearly dropping his ice cream.
“Hi, Eddie. It’s me. I’m so sorry for what happened earlier. I’m sure you’re probably mad, but I just want you to know…it wouldn’t have been meaningless. It wasn’t meaningless the night we met when it was supposed to be meaningless.” You take a deep breath. “I’m going back home for the holidays. Um, I’m not sure when…if…I’m coming back, but before I leave, I had to apologize for what I said. You’re a great guy, Eddie. I hope you know that. Have, um, have a nice holiday. Okay, bye.”
Eddie remains still, a loud silence enveloping the room once the machine relays that he’s reached the end of new messages. He’s dissecting every word you’d uttered, replaying them over and over. 
It wasn’t meaningless the night we met when it was supposed to be meaningless. 
So you’d felt it, too; that spark much stronger than the usual lust that overcomes him during hookups. And while he’d tried to convince himself that he’d only asked you to cuddle, had you stay over out of post-sex, post-show delirium, he can’t deny the truth any longer.
He’d asked because he felt comfortable around you, like he could hold you forever and whisper secrets that scare him to even admit to himself. Maybe it was because you’d seen Harris’s car seat that night and hadn’t run for the hills, or maybe it was the way you’d kissed him like he was worth savoring. And the morning after, when he’d all but chased you out of the apartment…Christ, you didn’t deserve that.
I’m not sure when…if…I’m coming back. 
The ‘when’ he could handle, but that ‘if’ was a weight on his chest. He questions his actions for a moment–should he have slept with you? Showed you how wanted and cherished and safe you were with him? Given your mind a chance to wander from the grief choking it? But Jeff said he had done the right thing, and considering the man was engaged with a baby on the way, Eddie figured he had to know something about women.
You’re a great guy, Eddie. I hope you know that.
Is he? He’s certainly a better man than when you’d first met him, but is he actually a great guy? He’d bought you coffee and didn’t fuck you when you were too vulnerable to truly consent–is that what constitutes greatness, or is he just a step above a piece of shit?
And, of course, part of him is angry. Not only because you were so easily willing to use him–although that realization definitely stings–but mostly because you’d thought he’d want to. After everything you two had been through, did you truly believe that he’d be unbothered? That he’d throw away all of that progress just to get his dick wet? Is that how little you think of him? Eddie doesn’t want the answer.  
The ice cream is melting, so he forgoes the spoon and just takes a swig from the pint. He licks the chocolatey residue from his lips before standing up to put the carton in the freezer. Tacked onto the refrigerator is Harris’s picture from Halloween where Eddie and Ms. Sweetheart are holding hands.
He plucks it from under the magnet, staring at it intently. The memory of his son and his uncle asking him about you, that pretty like a princess remark, the unfurling realization that he felt things for you that he’d thought he was incapable of feeling. He never should have taken their ribbings, inadvertently getting his hopes up that there was something there worth pursuing.
Without thinking, Eddie crumples the paper in his fist, crushing the family portrait into a ball. “Shit,” he mutters, placing it on the table and smoothing it out as best as he can. His hands glide over the drawing, rubbing over every crease until it looks good as new and Harris will be none the wiser.
But Eddie knows what’s been destroyed. What he doesn’t know is whether or not it can be smoothed out.

It was usual wednesday afternoon, head bent down on your desk with a new plant specimen that Daniel, the department head, needed an detailed report on, which meant EVERY detail was meant to be written, rushing from one station to another as you collected information diligently as the afternoon slipped late and so did an arm around your waist, pulling you flush against him as you squealed in surprise but he was quick to place a hand on your mouth to stop it as he bent down and chuckled near your ear.
“Wacha doing, cupcake?” he grumbled against your neck, pressing a few kisses and a few nips to your cheek and ear, not giving you enough time to react as he threw you over his shoulder and carried you out of the laboratory like a potato sack while you angrily protested, hitting him with your fists “Put me down, you tall smurf, I have work!!”
He raised his eyebrow at your nickname and smacked your ass making you squeak in embarrassment “What did you call me, cupcake?” his tone was low enough to give you your needed warning about what was to come but you couldn't help but whine
“I’m working, sir, Daniel would kill me if i don’t complete it soon!” you were slightly exaggerating it but who cares when you were with the colonel himself? He just chuckled at your complaints and walked around the lab to get out without hitting anything “where’s this Daniel guy-” he didn’t have to wait as Daniel himself came grumbling to your desk as he held a file in his hand “Y/n, how many time have I to- told….”
He trailed off as he Quaritch with you on his shoulder, ass up “puny, do you mind if i borrow one of your scientist for a while” his voice dared Daniel to say no, but the nosy scientist knew better as he immediately nodded to the secOps colonel “Of course, of course! she’s… all yours” he said with clear disdain written on his face, of course he couldn’t have you under his thumb for a long while now.
Miles was more than happy as he carried you back to his quarters while your embarrassed face stayed hidden in his muscular back, other passerbyers were not surprised at the scene, being used to it by now, it was a weekly occurrence if not daily and he took nothing but pride in the fact that others were watching, he didn’t give a fuck.
»»————- 𑁍 ————-««
You knew what was coming and you fucking enjoyed the thorough drilling he gave you, his sweet cupcake who could do no wrong, his hand on your bare back, guiding your wet pussy on his cock like a wet glove, ass smacking into his skin with rhythmic slaps, your gasps muffled by his huge hand covering your saliva coated mouth.
"just like that cupcake... Such a sweet little whore for me, ay? Letting daddy fuck your brains out" He growls in your ear as he fists your hair, gripping it tightly to send that delirious shiver down your spine, your messed up moans were incoherent to understand as he picks you up and flips you over like a rag doll before pulling out, laying down on his back after he pulls you on top of him, making you sink down on him again without any mercy.
Your whimpers were unheard of by him as Miles only gave you a few minutes before he was pistoning his hips back up into your dripping cunt, making your tits bounce almost pornographically, a string of slurs escaped your mouth as he coached your body to bounce on his cock "Fuck! Daddy... Thrust... S- shit"
He just smirked at your angelic voice, tired from the relentless rounds until a holographic square appeared on the bedside table, vibration loudly as bold letters showed who called "General Ardmore" bright on the screen
It was quiet for a minute as he stopped, placing you down, cock still snug in your warmth, both of you quiet for a while before he spoke "Keep your mouth shut for me okay? Don't want her to hear you, hmm?" He whispered before he sat up, an unwilling groan wisping through your lips until you shut up when met with his glare as he picked up the call and placed it on his ear.
General Ardmore spoke from the other side while he specifically shifted to torment your already overstimulated hole, nudging back and forth and watch as you bite your lip to keep yourself quiet, his other hand gently caressing your waist, sharp eyes following your shaking legs to the point of connection of your bodies.
He purposely placed the call on the speaker, making you listen to her points about the new mission but all you see and hear were his smirk and quiet chuckles as he kept you impaled on himself, the call was long and agonizing, having you as his Cockwarmer while chatting with her like he wasn't engaged in something much more serious
As he talked to her about the details when he moved up inside you and you squealed suddenly and he stopped, Ardmore stopped "Colonel, is someone there with you?" He scrutinized you heavily and you couldn't help but squirm under his gaze "No, General must be some wild animal outside" he covered up for you as he covered your mouth.
He spoke and nodded to the general's words, keeping your mouth shut and fucking you silently "understood, General, I'd work on it" he said gruffly before ending the call the threw the phone on the mattress before he saw your tear-stained face and rolled his eyes "you sneaky slut, can't keep your mouth shut can you? Then show daddy how loudly you can scream my name" he smiled maliciously before flipping you over with his hand snaking to your throat.

Roommates
Pairing: Kenshi Takahashi x F!Reader
Word count: 5.1k
A/N: This was not meant to be this long, I am sorry !!! I know I am meant to be writing for Johnny but Kenshi calls my name and whispers sweet nothings to me (I’m relentlessly horny for the yakuza man). Anyways, it's not my best work but ENJOY !!! <33
Summary: When your roommate is out of town, you go clubbing to look for some companionship. When you strike out, you get an unexpected offer that you’re lightly hesitant to accept.
Warnings: 18+ only, smut, mentions of creepy men, minor mention of violence (single punch), mentions of alcohol, dirty talk, p in v sex, creampie, omg… they were roommates, Kenshi (he’s his own warning), no use of y/n, I think that’s all !
MDNI
Tumblr media
It’s Friday night and you’ve had a hard time at work lately, it doesn’t help that Kenshi has been gone all week and won’t be back until Wednesday at the earliest. You miss him and you’re frustrated from work. So, when your friends invite you out to the club, your immediate response wasn’t to turn them down – like you usually did, instead you shocked both yourself and them by saying yes.
Now, you’re a bit tipsy and dancing the night away with your friends, you finally feel light after being weighed down by anxieties all week. Unfortunately, men ruin everything and one has come up behind you, grabbing at you to try and get you to dance with him. You attempt to shimmy away and tell him you’re uninterested but his hands grab onto you harder. He pulls you back into him and now you’re feeling scared, your heart rate has spiked and you feel like you’ve completely sobered up.
You turn around quickly, trying to loosen his grip on you, when you’ve successfully turned you smack him square in the nose and run away. Weaving through the large sea of people, you’ve lost track of your friends and you don’t remember when that happened anymore. Maybe you were drunker than you thought.
Reaching the exit, you stumble out onto the street, it’s still busy and bright, people moving along the strip to get into all kinds of different clubs. You pull out your phone to try and get an uber home when you see a heap of missed calls from Kenshi. Your heart jumps, worried for him but as you go to call him back, your phone rings in your hand, he’s calling again.
Your words rush out as soon as you pick up, “Are you okay?”
He breathes a sigh of relief on the other end, “Are you? I come home early and I can’t find you anywhere at nearly midnight and you won’t pick up your phone.”
“…Sorry, I didn’t think you’d be home so early.” You feel badly, you didn’t mean to worry him.
“Neither did I,” he pauses for a moment, “Where are you?”
“Just… out with some friends,” you cringe at your half-truth, “I’m coming home right now.”
He sounds unamused, definitely able to tell you’re lying, “Do you need me to come get you?”
“No, I’m okay, I’ll get an uber or something,” your eyes wander the streets, a group of men are approaching and you shrink in on yourself.
Kenshi doesn’t like the idea of you getting in an uber alone, “Where are your friends? Can’t one of them take you home?”
“They’re still inside, I’ll tell you about it when I get home,” the group of men that pass by whistle and cat call you, your face pulls up in disgust at it but you continue talking, “I shouldn’t be that long–”
“­–I’m going to come get you,” his tone is strained, you know he’s heard the men accost you.
His offer makes your heart swell but you tell him, “Kenshi don’t, it’ll take longer, just let me get an uber. I’ll be home super soon… okay?”
“Fine but if you aren’t home in 20 I’m coming to get you… and turn your location on,” he grumbles out, giving in to your logic.
“Yessir,” you joke at him.
“Don’t call me that,” he does not find you funny.
You pout at him, “You’re so mean to me.”
“Order your uber and get home safe,” he retorts before hanging up on you, not wanting you to talk to him any longer. The longer you stay on the phone with him, the longer it takes for you to get home.
You chuckle at his frustrations with you, he’s simultaneously so patient and impatient with you. Even though he’s a little short with you, he’s a good roommate and friend and you wouldn’t trade him for the world.
.𖥔˖ִ ₊ ⊹˚
The uber came pretty quick, you get back to your shared apartment safe and within the 20 minutes he gave you. When you walk through the front door he’s quick to come up to you, he had been waiting for you on the couch.
His hands gently move over you, double checking you’re okay, “You smell like vodka.”
“I’m sober, the night started good but ended up blowing. The buzz was ruined after that,” you huff.
His hand holds yours; his thumb lightly brushes your knuckles and you intake a sharp breath, “What happened?”
“Mmm, some jackass grabbed onto me and I had to swing and run,” you’re dismissive, not really all that worried about it anymore, “I hadn’t realised I hit him that hard.”
His frown is deep, “Where were your friends?”
“I don’t know, dancing I guess. We just sorta lost track of each other,” you lean into him, your forehead rests on his chest, “I’m glad you’re home, it’s been lonely.”
“I don’t like your friends,” he’s blunt, straight to the point about it.
“They’re alright,” you defend.
Kenshi disagrees, “They do this every time you go out with them, they leave you behind.”
That is true, they have a tendency to forget about you when you all go out together but it’s not a huge deal. It’s not like they do it purposefully, you all get a little drunk is all.
“Not always,” you argue.
“Yes, always,” he’s not interested, especially since he knows the truth, “Why did you go out tonight anyways? You don’t even like clubbing that much.”
You don’t tell him the whole truth; you had been intending to get laid. Having a good one-night stand was something you were hoping would help with your stress levels. Your vibrator hasn’t been cutting it lately and with Kenshi away you thought tonight would be the perfect time but after his unexpected return and that creepy guy, you’re happy it didn’t work out.
You settle for a half truth, “I was bored and lonely, plus this week sucked,” you push off his chest and look up at him.
He snickers down at you and teases, “Miss me that much?”
Maybe it’s the small amount of alcohol swimming in your head but you don’t even try and deny it, “Yes.”
He scoffs at you, “Go to bed, you need to sober up more.”
You shake your head at him, “I don’t wanna sleep, you’re home now, I wanna hang out with you.”
“Go hang out in your bed,” he counters.
You’re quick to say, “Only if you join me.”
“You’re annoying,” he comments.
You pretend to be really hurt as you ask him, “So, you didn’t miss me at all?” His expression is stoic, he’s completely unreadable, it’s even worse with the blindfold. “You’re hurting my feelings here, Ken doll.”
He doesn’t like that, “Don’t call me that.”
You groan and throw your head back, “You don’t let me call you anything.”
His brow raises, “You could call me by my name?”
You jeer at him, “Boooo, boring!”
“You’re impossible to deal with,” he groans and walks into the kitchen.
You follow after him, “I think I’m entirely possible actually.”
He ignores you and fills a glass with water, he hands it to you once it’s full, “Drink that.”
Your face pulls up at him but you take the cup and drink it, “You’re quite crabby tonight.”
“I am annoyed,” he replies simply.
You speak into the rim of the glass, “Why are you annoyed, Ken doll?”
“I was worried about you,” is all he says, no further elaboration. Though it’s not really needed, you know he gets a little bit concerned when you go out with those friends.
“Awe, you worry about me,” you poke at his face, trying to lighten his mood.
He groans and his head rolls back, moving away from your prodding, “You should go to sleep.”
“Fine but not because you told me to,” you place the glass in the sink, “I am choosing to go to bed because I am tired.”
“Mhm,” he hums at you, “I’ll see you in the morning.”
You walk off down the hall to your room, calling back to him, “If you’re lucky.”
.𖥔˖ִ ₊ ⊹˚
When you wake up it’s late morning but at least it’s still morning, small wins. Kenshi isn’t home when you wander around looking for him, you shrug off his absence and have a shower. You feel grungy from last night and find yourself wishing you had showered before bed.
By the time you’re clean and ready for the day, Kenshi is home and in the kitchen, “I got you a coffee,” he nods at the to-go cup on the bench.
“Thank you,” You reach over and take it.
He asks you, “How are you feeling today?”
“I’m fine, I hadn’t drank that much last night,” you stand idly, watching him sip at his own coffee. You aren’t sure if you’re imagining it or not… but he seems annoyed, well more specifically, he seems annoyed at you. “Are you mad at me?”
His reply is sharp, “I’m not mad.”
“You seem mad,” you insist.
“You’re gonna make me mad,” he retorts, his fingers pinch at the bridge of his nose, “I’m not mad at you, I just… don’t like when you go out while I’m away.”
“I’m always fine though and I rarely go out as it is,” you’re trying to make him feel better but you don’t think it’s working.
He doesn’t reply but his mouth pulls up in a scowl and he grumbles a sound of acknowledgement.
You walk around the counter and shimmy between him and the bench, so you’re directly in front of him, “Why is this worrying you so much?”
“You worry me and it’s not like you have a great support system when you go out,” he isn’t wrong, which is somewhat bothersome.
You pat his shoulder, “You need to stress less, It’s all good, Ken doll.”
He leans forward, his hands rest on the bench either side of you, effectively caging you between him and the counters, “Don’t call me that.”
He’s being weird, you don’t know why he’s so worried about you all of a sudden. He’s always been ‘protective’ over you but that always felt more casual, this feels a bit out of the blue, “Why are you so worried about this? You’ve never been so concerned.”
He frowns at you, “I’ve always been this concerned, I’ve just never said anything.”
“Oh.” It seems he has reached a sort of breaking point.
He tries asking you again, seemingly knowing you lied to him last time you answered, “Why did you go out last night anyways?”
He can’t see you but you shy away anyways, your eyes look away from him, “I told you last night.”
“No, you lied last night,” his head tilts at you slightly.
How he manages to know, you aren’t sure. It’s become an annoying talent of his, knowing when you’re lying, “I don’t know what you mean.”
He leans the smallest bit closer, “You are a poor liar.”
“I’ve never lied a day in my life,” you lie.
He doesn’t move or say anything, from how exposed you feel right now, you could swear he can see you. It feels like he’s staring you down… and it’s working.
You groan at him, “Kenshi, it’s not a huge deal, I went out to have fun and maybe… get laid,” you trail off, feeling embarrassed before adding, “but things didn’t work out that way.”
He’s completely unreadable right now, he doesn’t have a single tell, “You went out last night for a one-night stand?”
You’re facing him properly again, “Yeah but then no one really caught my eye and that guy was grabby and the night was ruined, plus you were home so I’m glad I didn’t bring anyone back.”
“Is that what you meant by ‘you were lonely’.”
Your face grows warm and you want to squirm into a heap on the floor, why is he asking so many questions, “Well… yes and no?”
His fingers grip the counter a little tighter, his frown deepens, “What would you have done if I were home?”
You aren’t sure what he’s asking, “I don’t–”
“–Would you still go out to the club or would you have asked me?” He clarifies.
You think you know what he’s asking now but you want to be clear, “Asked you what?”
He’s quick to reply, wanting you to catch on quicker, “To sleep with you–”
That doesn’t seem like it’d bode well for your friendship, “I don’t think that’s really–”
“–Cause I’d do it, in a heartbeat,” he’s resolute, completely certain.
You’re at a complete loss for words, he’s just told you he’d sleep with you and you’d think he was just teasing you if he wasn’t so steadfast. He shows no signs of joking and you have no idea how to reply to him.
“Stop playing around,” your tone is nervous, you’re trying to give him an out.
He doesn’t take it, “Princess, I’m being so serious.”
Your knees feel like they might give out, he’s flirted with you before and even then it had an effect on you. To have him in front of you, telling you he’s seriously willing to fuck you, is going to kill you. The nickname isn’t lost on you, usually when he calls you that, he’s teasing you by calling you delicate or sensitive, the change in context makes your heart skip a beat.
“Kenshi–”
“–Would you let me fuck you?” He’s unmoving, waiting for your answer.
A shiver runs down your spine at the low timbre of his voice, it’s not like you’ve never considered it, you just never thought he was interested, “Now?”
A large, wicked smile grows on his face, “Do you want me to fuck you right now?”
He’s crude and it’s arousing you, he’s always been blunt but this is different, you’ve never shared a moment like this with him, “Would you?”
“I would, like I said, in a heartbeat,” his leg slots between yours, pinning you closer to the kitchen counters.
He’s effectively worked you up and made you comfortable enough to ask, “Then… could you? Please?”
His smile is evil, ecstatic that you’ve asked, “Of course I could, princess,” one of his hands moves to your hip, holding you. “First, I have a yes or no question for you.”
“Okay…” You’re hesitant, you don’t know what he’s going to ask.
His leg slots higher, thigh pressed to your cunt, “Did you feel the need to get laid because your little vibrator wasn’t cutting it anymore?”
You gasp, both at his question and the sudden contact, “How did–”
“The walls aren’t all that thick, princess,” the hand on your hip encourages you to lightly rut into his thigh, “Can hear you sometimes.”
You feel beyond embarrassed knowing he’s heard you getting off, “It wasn’t enough”
“No, I bet it wasn’t,” he chuckles at you, “You got so fuckin needy you were gonna ask a stranger to fuck you, good thing I came home, hmm?”
Your hips grind down onto his leg, the stimulation shocking you. Your panties are well and truly drenched at this point, “Kenshi~”
“I’ll fuck you well, princess, I’ll give you what you need,” he leans down to you, his lips brushing yours, “But first, you have to take it.”
He takes your lips in his, unoccupied hand reaching up to hold your face, moving you how he pleases. You whimper into him, his tongue licks into your mouth. It’s hot and messy, he’s kissing you like he’s starved of you and it’s making you lightheaded. His hand paws at your hip before slipping into your pants, he reaches behind and grabs a handful of your ass. You moan into him, surprised by his rough touch.
When he pulls back, your lips are connected by a string of saliva, evidence of how messy he kissed you. Your mind is fuzzy and you whimper at him, mind filled with so many thoughts of him and his mouth. His thumb rubs over your mouth, spreading the mess more than cleaning it.
He hums at you in consideration, “Come with me,” he says, as he pulls you behind him into the lounge room.
You can’t help but stumble slightly, your legs wobbly from his lips. You feel stupid right now, you’re able to form thoughts but they don’t feel like your own. The only ones that do feel like yours are the ones imagining how he’d look tongue fucking you, or how he’d look when he cums.
He stops in front of the couch and then suddenly pulls his shirt off, you’re gobsmacked by the suddenness, “Undress,” he tells you, “Keep your panties on though.”
If you were a weaker person, even by just a little bit you would have fainted on the spot, “You’re bossy,” you mumble as you shimmy your pants off.
Kenshi undresses completely and sits on the couch behind him, his cock hard and resting against his abdomen. He’s patiently waiting for you to finish undressing, “You have no idea.”
You feel awkward, standing in front of him almost completely bare. He spreads his legs wider and you stand between them, patting his thigh he says, “Come on, don’t be shy, straddle me, princess.”
He’s doing this on purpose you could swear, you feel so hot in the cheeks and shy. He’s making you feel nervous and so horny. He’s working you up in a way that no one else ever has, “You say embarrassing things,” you comment.
“I’ve not even started,” he pats his thigh again, “Hurry up, got me aching for you here.”
You sit down on him and straddle either of his thighs, you’re holding yourself up on your knees, your hands reach out and hold onto his shoulders. One of his hands holds your hip, while the other runs over your panties, feeling how you’ve soaked them.
He groans at how wet you are, “Fuckin hell, all this because I kissed you?”
His teasing alone could make you cry, “Don’t be mean–”
“–I’m gonna be mean to you, princess.” His hand slips into your panties and through your folds, your fingers dig into his skin, a sigh passing your lips at his touch. “Gonna have you crying on my cock by the time I’m done with you.”
He plays with your cunt, fingers slipping through your slick folds. His cock twitches against his stomach, precum leaking from his tip and smearing itself against his skin. You mindlessly move your hips back and forth against his fingers, seeking more from him.
His hand pulls back and you whimper at him, he laughs, slightly amused at your neediness and slips your panties to the side, “Alright, sit down and take what you need.”
“Yessir,” you joke but his cock jerks in response and you smile to yourself at his reaction.
You take his dick in your hand and he chokes on a moan, you stroke him slowly, your hand collecting his mess of precum and spreading it over his length. Getting him slick with himself, he groans at you, his abs tense at the feeling of your smaller hand on him.
Hovering over him, you position his tip at your entrance, not pushing down but holding him pressed to you. Your cunt leaks on the head of his cock and he moans, his hands grip your hips, “Trying to let you do this yourself, princess but if you don’t hurry up… I’m gonna stuff you full and I don’t care if it’ll hurt.”
Your pussy jumps at his threat and he flops back onto the couch, his head hanging back on it, “You’re gonna kill me, you’re so fucking… wet and warm,” he’s mumbling mostly to himself.
Slowly, you start pushing down on him, the stretch is a lot, especially since it’s been so long since you last had sex. That and Kenshi may be the biggest you’ve attempted to take – not that you’re going to tell him that. You pull back and press down again, trying to fuck yourself open on the tip of his cock.
He groans under you, his brows pinched, thinking of anything he can other than how goddamn tight you are. He wants you to do this yourself but his patience is about to tear into shreds, it feels like it’s actively being put through a shredder. His thumb moves to your clit and rubs tight circles into it, trying to get you to relax enough to take him.
You whine at him, your hand on his shoulder gripping him tight. Taking a deep breath, you sink further down onto him, finally taking the tip and a little less than half of him. Your cunt quivers around him, throbbing. You feel like you could cry, the way he fills you is overwhelming and already so satisfying.
Your hand leaves his dick and holds onto his other shoulder, when you look at him, you can see how he’s clenching his jaw tight. His fingers dig into your hips, he’s trying so hard not to slam into you until you’re completely full. You’re gripping him so tightly, your pussy leaking down his shaft, you’re so warm and soft and he has a primal need to have you fucked full of him.
You slip further down him, gasped moans leaving you as you incrementally sit down, “Kenshi~”
He hums at you, his hands move up and down your body, gripping you anywhere he can reach, memorising you with his hands, “I said before, you have to take it.”
You understand now what he meant; he wants you to fuck yourself on his cock. He’s not going to help; he’s going to make you take it and you already know, it’s not going to be as good as if he were to just fuck you.
You go to complain, “It won’t–”
His hands grab your tits, playing with them, “–Won’t what?” He encourages.
You’re breathless, his fingers pinch and pull at your nipples and if it weren’t for your hands holding you up, you would’ve collapsed onto him, “It– uh– won’t feel as good.”
He smiles big at you, “I know.”
You whimper at him and in an attempt to get revenge, you slam the rest of the way down onto him. He moans loudly in shock; his arms wrap around you and tug you into his chest.
He speaks into your skin, “Holy fuck– nnghhf– You’re so fucking~” He can’t help how he holds you down and grinds up into you, “So wet~ bet you’re gonna be fuckin creaming all over my cock– nngh~”
You can only whinge into him, your slightly drooling onto his skin, feeling incredibly stupid at this very moment. His cock filling you so well, the stretch very welcome. You want to fuck down onto him but he’s holding you tight. His own thoughts lost in how your tight cunt is clutching him, he needs to grind into you right now, and you’re not going to stop him. Not that you want to.  
He’s trying to collect himself, his head resting against your chest, he moves to the side and bites into the skin of your breast. It shocks you and your cunt clamps down on him, he groans into your skin before pulling back. His chest heaves up and down, his head thrown back on the couch, hands back to resting on your hips again.
“Fuck– alright, fuck yourself on my cock now, princess,” his voice is strained, laced in arousal.
You lift yourself up, beginning to ride him, the slow drag of your walls on his cock have Kenshi twitching inside you. He’s starting to doubt his ability to hold on to control while you fuck onto him, already borderline pussy drunk.
You bounce up and down his dick, it feels so good but it’s not enough, you want him to fuck you, you want to get railed, “Kenshi~ I need you –hah– to please –nngh– fuck me.”
“Cum first and then I’ll –hah– fuck you,” his head is lulled back, only focusing on the tight clutch of your cunt.
The room is filled with slick slapping noises, your pussy leaking into his lap. The lewd sounds have your face growing hot, your soft moans furthering your embarrassment, you can’t keep them in though, they slip from you before you even register that it’s you making those noises.
Kenshi grunts, “Making such cute noises, princess,” his abdomen muscles tighten and twitch, “Always make such –hah– cute sounds, can hear the way you whine when you’re fucking yourself –mmph– can hear the slick sounds of your cunt, God, you’ve got such a wet cunt, drive me mental –nngh–” He’s babbling almost incoherently, his comments only further your arousal, more slick leaking from you.
The longer you ride him, the more frustrated you get, you’re so close to the edge but can’t seem to get yourself to fall off it, “Kenshi please, help.”
Despite his ravenous need for you, he smiles evilly and says, “No.” You shed tears, actual tears at your frustration, a sob gets caught up with your moans and he smiles wider, “You crying about it, princess?”
“No,” you sniffle out.
He grabs your face and his thumb runs along your cheek, feeling your tears, “God you are, fuck.” His cock jerks inside you.
You continue trying to get yourself off, your orgasm floating just beyond your reach, Kenshi seemingly takes some pity on you, his thumb rubs into your clit. You switch from bouncing to grinding, grinding his cock into you, your heart stutters in your chest and you moan out his name.
Your cunt pulsates on him, your orgasm on the tip of your tongue, you collapse into him as you finally cum on him. Tears fall from your eyes and onto the skin of his shoulder as you finish. Kenshi groans at the vice like grip you have on him, his hand helping you to grind into him, riding out your high.
“There you fuckin go,” he practically growls at you.
He doesn’t give you a second to come down, he’s immediately fucking up into you, both his hands on your hips, moving you up and down his dick like a sex toy. His hips slamming up to meet your cunt on your way down. He groans more freely, getting lost in the feel of you.
You’re fucked dumb, essentially. Only able to drool and cry into his shoulder, moans and whimpers spilling from you. Sounds that Kenshi relishes in, loving how vocal you are, needing the sounds to make up for his lack of sight.
“You should come to me from –ngh– now on, if you wanna get fucked,” his words slur together slightly.
“Uh huh,” you agree easily, even if you have a hard time forming complete words.
He continues, “You gonna let me fuck you how you need, mmm? Have you creaming for me whenever you want?”
“…Yes.”
His chest vibrates with a growl, “How about when I need it? Gonna let me fuck your tight little cunt whenever I need it, princess?”
“Whatever you wan,” you mumble out, focusing mostly on the heavy drag of his cock against your walls, of the force he drives into you with.
He chuckles darkly at you, “You’re real fuckin agreeable when I’m stuffing you full of my cock,” he purrs, “Where’d that teasing nature of yours go, mmm?”
You hum at him noncommittally, not having an answer for him.
“Probably wherever your brain is, you’re fucked completely dumb right now, huh?” his tone is amused, enjoying immensely how cock drunk you are for him, “Guarantee no one else would make you feel this good, princess.”
As much as you want to refute that, you know he’s right. You’ve never felt this fucking good during sex, or this full. You’re creaming around him, white ring at the base of his cock. Your stomach is fluttering, already so close to cumming again. You feel so far gone; eyes rolled back in your head. Cunt gripping onto him, holding on for dear life. With how wet and sticky everything is, you may have to buy a new couch.
Kenshi can’t help but whine as he gets closer to finishing, “Can’t get over how slick you are, you’re fuckin– you’re sucking me right back in ­–nghh–”
You gasp against him, “Kenshi~ I’m gonna–”
“Go on, fuckin soak me, finish all over my cock again,” his hips slam up into you harder, faster, “God, please, fuck– wanna feel how fucking tight you grip me again, wanna hear the little whimpers you let out, finish on me again, princess,” his words are grit out from behind his teeth, trying like hell to hold off his own orgasm.
His nails bite into the skin on your hips, he’s starting to growl out whines next to your ear and they sound so delicious, your mind swimming with them, committing the noises to memory. He fucks into you a few more times before you’re clamping down on him and cumming so hard you see white, tears falling freely from the force of it.
Your pussy spasms on his cock, the feeling has Kenshi moaning loudly before he’s suddenly cumming with a bitten back whine, his cum pumps inside you, coating your walls. He has cum so much it leaks back down his cock and into his lap, your panties are thoroughly ruined, soaked in so much cum and slick.
You stay stuffed full of him, barely conscious and clinging to him, you’re dazed and lost in how good you feel after finally getting fucked well.
Kenshi’s arms wrap around you, holding you close to him, “Better?”
“Mhmm,” it is better, you feel so content right now.
He presses his lips to the side of your head and asks, “Not gonna go looking for one night stands again are you?”
You mumble out, “Would you even let me?”
He laughs before pressing a kiss to your cheek, “No, swear on my life your cunt was made for me.”
You snicker at him, “Whatever you want.”
“I should fuck you more often, you’re significantly less annoying after a good dicking,” he jokes… you think.
“You love it.”
He laughs lightly at you, not willing to agree verbally but he does enjoy your teasing. That might just be because he enjoys you though.
A quiet lulls over the pair of you, both holding each other close and coming down from your respective highs.
You remember something and you ask him, “Why did you ask me to keep my panties on?”
“I wanna keep ‘em, could be handy to have when I go away,” he says blasé, unashamed.
You groan at him in disgust but you can both feel the way your cunt lightly flutters on him. Thinking of him using your panties to jerk off arouses you more than you wish it would.
Kenshi laughs knowingly, “I’ll let you watch.”
.𖥔˖ִ ₊ ⊹˚
A/N: I hope you enjoyed !!! Like I said, not my best work but I had to purge the Kenshi brain rot before doing anything else <3 My inbox is open for thoughts or questions but I am not taking requests at the moment, I have too many 😭 Anyways, I hope you all have a good day/night !!!

A bouquet a day keeps the sadness away. | H.S 
Pairing: boyf!harry styles x reader  
Word count: 1.4k
Summary: you have been feeling a bit down recently so harry decides to add a special something into his daily routine in hopes to make you feel better
Warnings: tiny mention of depression at the start, PURE FLUFF! (p.s I literally know nothing about flowers, so hashtag don’t hate the flowers I chose pls xx) 
a/n: stay til the end for a surprise ;) if you would like to be added to my tag list please pop me a message in dm's or in my requests/talk to me box :*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With seasonal depression just around the corner, your moods have swooped down a load recently. Instead of going for your daily runs and gym sessions with harry, you stayed in bed and binge watched Netflix all day, crying over the smallest things ever and overall having no motivation to do anything. Other people might think it's pathetic, but Harry had immediately noticed your change of moods and knew he had to do something about it straight away. Even on days when u felt at your very best, Harry still managed to slip the odd compliment and reassuring quote in just to make sure you knew how much you meant to him. That’s when harry got the bright idea of doing something small for you each day of the week just to remind you how much he loves you and how proud he is of you. 
Monday. 
You woke up, mind groggy, rolling over to feel an empty space where harry usually lays. Rubbing your drowsy eyes, you opened them to see Harry's side of the bed neatly tucked in, pillows perfectly fluffed up, no creases in the sheet. Everything was perfectly in place except for him. Where was he?  
Groaning to yourself, you stretch your legs out of the bed and trapse along to the kitchen. 
Your eyes rapidly tearing up at the scene in front of you. A huge bouquet of sunflowers with a note peeping out from the top. 
“My sweet sweet angel. I'm sorry for not being there this morning when you woke up, but I had to rush to the studio. Duty calls... :( I hope you're feeling a bit better this morning, text me as soon as you finish reading this note. Let me know how you are! I got you these flowers as a reminder of all the happy times we have together. I did my research and apparently sunflowers represent happiness, and I'm hoping they make your happiness shine out. I’ll never fathom how you are mine; you are everything I ever hoped and dreamed of. Keep being your beautiful, pleasing self. Shouldn’t be too long... don't miss me too much. H x” 
Tuesday. 
Every Tuesday morning harry would go out for meetings with his team, so you weren’t really surprised when you woke up to an empty bed once again. When he arrived back home yesterday, he smothered you in kisses and cuddles while insisting you guys ordered a takeout and had a movie night and that’s exactly what you did. 
Pouring your milk, you heard the doorbell ring as you pranced over to the door not expecting any deliveries today. “Delivery for Mrs Styles?” The delivery man questioned. Your face immediately beginning to flush a red tone as you accepted the parcel. Mrs styles.. It has a nice ring to it you think to yourself as you open the box to yet again another bouquet of flowers with a note. 
“Hello baby, hope you're having an amazing morning. I also hope you didn’t mind the delivery man calling u Mrs styles... I really need to make that official soon huh. I’ll be home a little later today, please take care of yourself throughout the day. Maybe go for a little walk to clear your head? Mum said she will meet you if you pop her a text, maybe go to the small café you like? My treat ;) Hope you like the roses. They symbolise love, and that’s exactly why I got them. I love you so much you never fail to fill the empty gaps in my heart. See you tonight lovie. H x” 
Wednesday. 
Yesterday afternoon you spent it with anne having a catchup, both of you agreeing to go out shopping today, and last night cuddled up with harry in bed chatting about life and how the team was treating him. Surprisingly on one of your only mornings waking up next to harry, you were the first to be awake and out the house. Due to his busy schedule, it was another late night at the studio for harry but you didn’t mind as you knew he was doing things he loved.  
When you arrived back home you saw yet again another box waiting for you to open it and pick it up. Taking everything inside you let out a slight laugh as you opened the box to a huge bouquet of lavenders. Obviously, it wasn’t a bouquet without the famous note... 
“I hope you're not sick of my flower sending yet :( Woke up this morning and you weren’t there, felt a little deflated that I couldn’t smother you in kisses to wake you up but mum text me saying she took you shopping which made me feel way better. It’s so lovely seeing the two people I care for the most bonding and spending time together, and that’s why I've sent you these beautiful lavenders. They symbolise peace and you may be wondering why I have sent you flowers for peace? I want your beautiful body and brain to give you a break from all the stressful thoughts wandering them. I hope today brought you so much peace and I can assure you the future will too... I love you my precious girl. H x” 
Thursday. 
Surprise surprise, another morning without harry. This morning he left for training day with brad. You really wish you were there to witness harry in training mode but instead you found yourself once again opening another bouquet of flowers. 
“Hi lovie, this is a short one today. I'm sorry... This short note is worth it as tomorrow is unfortunately the last flower bouquet day. I know, I know I can hear your sobs from here but don’t worry darling it will all be worth it I just need you to trust me.. Which is why I got you freesia flowerers today. They symbolise trust and I'm needing you to trust me with everything you have. I’ll see you tomorrow, love you millions. H x” 
Friday aka The last flower day. 
You felt the bed dip as you made a lazy attempt to open your eyes as you felt the immediate kisses harry started planting all over your face. 
“G’mornin’ lovie. Y’gonna wake up for me?” he questioned swiping the stray hairs away from your face and tucking them behind your ear. 
“Mhm” you replied turning over and slowly dozing back to sleep as you felt harry pick you up taking you somewhere in the house. 
It took harry 10 minutes to wake you up, once he was successful you looked at your surroundings to see you were in the living room. 
“Got you a coffee anndddd your very last bouquet box” he said placing down both the coffee and box Infront of you 
“You really didn’t have to do this for me H.. but I really appreciate it so thank you” you leaned over to give him a soft kiss on the cheek as you turned back around eagerly opening the box to see what’s inside the last one. 
You opened the box to the most gorgeous flowers you had ever seen but felt a pang in your heart when you didn’t see a note, harry noticed your frantic looks as he reached over and grabbed a handwritten note. 
“I felt like a handwritten one is better for today's note, feels more personal?” he said with a slanted smile placed on his face. You began to read the note as you hear harry rustling around behind you. 
“Good morning gorgeous... I felt like a handwritten note was the better option for today. A week today will be our 5-year anniversary. I can’t even begin to thank you for all the astonishing things you have done for me these past 5 years, I most definitely wouldn’t be here without you, you are my muse... So, thank you thank you thank you. I really hope you like my choice of today's flower’s, il explain to you what they symbolise in a second. You have showed me how to love and what true love feels like, and I will continue giving you everything I have until my very last day on earth. These flowers are my personal favourites... They are called calla lilies, and they symbolise marriage. I love you I love you I love you. So, what I'm trying to say is...” 
“Y/n..” you turn around nearly giving yourself whiplash, seeing the love of your life on one knee your eyes start welling up as your hands automatically cover your mouth in shock. “Will you marry me?” 
You desperately nod your head as your head finds the crook of his neck while your tears find a home in his t-shirt. Secretly harry let out a few tears too but he would never let you know that. 
Tumblr media

Bring Me Home Arc 2 Part 12
Happy WIP Wednesday!
Story Summary: Tim and Danny are both neglected by parents who care more about their work than their families. They deal with this by spending too much time online and find each other playing MMORPGs. They keep up their friendship as Tim becomes Robin and Danny becomes Phantom and don't bother keeping secrets from each other.
First, Previous
Word Count: 1.3k
-----
The cookies had just been set out and Maddie was holding up the Ghostkateers sign.
Jack grinned as he declared, “The first official after school meeting of the Amity Park Ghostkateers is now in session!”
Danny and Jazz entered just as Jack was making his proclamation. Tim exchanged a look with Conner and nodded. They were taking the out. Being around a group of overshadowed teens was not on the cards for tonight.
Jack used a rolled up newspaper to knight Dash the official “Ghostkateer Number One.”
Dash turned to smile viciously at Danny who’s eyes widened before flying to Tim.
Tim gestured to his waist where a blaster sat.
“Come join us, sweetie,” said Maddie
“Um. I just came by to get Tim and everyone. We’re going to Tucker’s to get Conner’s phone fixed up. It’s not working right.”
“But what about the ghosts!” protested Maddie.
Tim coughed. “Um, you gave me the blaster. I’m pretty comfortable with it. I’m sure I can keep us safe enough as we go to Tucker’s house. And Conner’s brother is probably worried about him. We were supposed to catch up with him by now.”
Maddie bit her lip. “Text us when you arrive, dear.”
“I will, Mom,” agreed Danny. “I just need to go upstairs and grab a few things before we head out.” He made his way to the steps. “I’ll see you tomorrow!”
“Come on Danny, at least join us in singing our Ghostkateer Battle Song before you go!”
Danny froze on the steps. Tim buried his face in his hands. He’d been there as they wrote it and it was bad. Like, bad bad.
Jack proudly began. “G-H-O!”
Maddie continued, “Oh? You’ve seen a ghost!”
Then back to Jack. “S-T-K-A!”
Maddie’s turn. “Eh? You’ve seen a Canadian ghost?”
Then together. “A-T-double-E.”
Dash and his friends joined in to sing, “R!” All of them paused for a second before adding, “S!”
Tim glanced up to see what Danny was thinking. His mouth was open. Their gazes met and Danny shook his head before running the rest of the way up the stairs.
Jazz’s jaw was clenched tight as she looked at her parents and scoffed before following Danny upstairs.
Tim smiled at Jack and Maddie. “I’m afraid we won’t be staying for the full meeting. Thanks for everything you’ve already taught us, though. It’s been super informative.”
“I’ll go grab our bags,” said Conner.
“I’ll help!” added Bart. And the two were up the stairs before Cassie and Tim could come up with an excuse to join them.
“Oh, what a shame you won’t be joining us!” lamented Maddie.
“You won’t get any of my Snuggie-poo’s cookies if you leave,” added Jack.
Cassie smiled tightly. “I’m so sorry we’re cutting out like this. But we’ll use what you’ve taught us to keep Danny safe as we go to Tucker’s. Promise.”
“Okay, if you’re sure,” said Maddie.
“We are,” said Tim.
Jack nodded. “Keep an eye on our boy! He’s terrified of ghosts. Don’t know where we went wrong with him.”
“We will, Jack,” promised Cassie. Tim could hear the anger hiding in her voice and was glad he didn’t have to add anything.
Jack and Maddie turned to the other students who were staying and Danny, Conner, and Bart were back within the minute. All five of them were out the door seconds later.
“What’s going on, Danny?” asked Tim once they were relatively alone on the street.
“More ghosts have come through. I’m not sure how. But they’re staying invisible or overshadowing people. And there’s so many of them I can’t get an accurate idea of where any of them actually are!”
“Dash and his friends were overshadowed,” said Tim.
Danny scoffed. “Of course they were. My parents wouldn’t recognize a ghost if it lived in their house.”
“Speaking of their house,” said Conner, “they gave us a more thorough tour of the lab.”
Danny groaned. “Of course they did. Look, whatever you saw, it’s not as bad as you’re thinking. Most of their stuff doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. I have to fix them up before I can use them.”
“The blasters seem to,” commented Bart.
“Look, it’s fine. Just drop it. Tim’s already read me the riot act a dozen times.”
Tim bumped Danny’s shoulder. “It’ll be thirteen after tonight, Danny. Please come back to Gotham with me?”
Danny waved his arm in a large arc in front of him. “You’ve seen what it’s like here! I can’t just leave!”
“Then we’re creating an extraction plan,” decided Tim. “Tonight. If something goes wrong, I want to have a plan in place.”
“You and your plans. Fine, fine. Whatever. Let’s just pick up Tucker and head to Sam’s. Her place is bigger.”
Tim sighed. He hadn’t wanted to upset Danny. He bumped their shoulders again. “Hey, I saw an article a few days ago about a new rocket that was being developed? But I didn’t have time to dig into it. Do you know anything?”
Danny’s eyes lit up. “Yeah, I know all about it. It is so cool!” Ten minutes later when they arrived at Tucker, Danny was still talking about how the rocket had been developed. The topic of space travel lasted through their quick stop for dinner and snacks on the way to Sam’s.
Though the others didn’t stay as invested in the topic. Bart and Tucker began comparing video games. And Cassie and Conner brought up the rear and Tim couldn’t hear what they were talking about. Before Tim knew it, they were at Sam’s house.
Conner let out a low whistle. “She is rich.”
The house was extremely impressive. Not as large as Wayne manor, but still a mansion. Sam was waiting for them on the front steps.
“Hey guys, come on. We’ll have to deal with my parents, but I should be able to shake them pretty quickly. Tim, I’m afraid I had to drop your foster-father’s name to get my parents to agree to this last minute sleepover. The language of the rich and powerful is the only one they respect.”
Tim waved his hand in the air. “Don’t worry about it. I grew up the same way. I know all the games people like that love to play.”
“It’s the worst.” Sam scowled as she stomped her way up the stairs and into her house.
The instant Tim laid eyes on Jeremy and Pam Manson, he slipped into his gala persona and fixed on the bland smile that came with it. “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Manson. My apologies for imposing on your hospitality so last minute. Thank you so much for agreeing to host us for the night.”
For once, his team decided to follow his lead and give their own demure thanks without causing chaos. Looked like all of them were willing to do just about anything to avoid going back to Fenton Works.
Still, Tim couldn’t help but notice how Pam’s eyes lingered on Bart’s hair and Conner’s jacket and Cassie’s bare midriff. His smile got a little bit sharper.
“Of course you’re welcome to stay here,” said Jeremy reaching out to shake Tim’s hand. He didn’t shake anyone else’s.
“We’re just happy that Sammy is finally making some better friends,” added Pam with a sharp glance at Danny. “She’s such a pretty girl, isn’t she? Such a shame she hides it all by dressing is such depressing colors all the time!”
“Aaand that’s enough,” said Sam. “We’ll be in my room. I’ll also be taking up the guest room across from mine and to the left of mine. Don’t bother us.”
Jeremy couldn’t help but add, “Be sure to mention us to your dad, Timothy. It’s been ages since we’ve last been able to meet at a gala!”
“Yes, sir,” said Tim. Not that he’d be following through. Assholes. Danny pushed him up a wide staircase that framed the entranceway to get to the second floor.
-----
Next
I did not make up that Ghostkateers Battle Song. Came right from the episode. Who all knows what's going on by now? I feel I've made it pretty obvious! (Though this is yet another night the show didn't cover. I forgot how many time skips these episodes have! Most seem to take place over several days.)
I no longer use tag lists for this fic, but please check out my Subscription Post if you want notifications for updates.

Little Cat
Part 15
Larissa Weems part 14 | part 16 | ao3
Sorry for wait! As always hope you enjoy, and another thank you to @h-doodles for once again I had no clue what to write 🤧 (4.3k)
~
The maroon curtains made of thick cotton were tied to the side, the white chiffon sheers remained drawn, diffusing the evening sun as it lumbered lower in the sky to hide behind the horizon. Like always the fire was ablaze, the flames making shadows dance through the cavernous room.
Larissa had situated herself at the sofa across from the mantle piece, letting the heat of the flames engulf her. She was clad in one of her silk night slips, stopping mid thigh, and covering very little on her upper half. Your scarf was draped over her shoulders like a shawl — your smell was beginning to fade from it.
The principal had wanted to stop by your quarters but she had seen you pass by your window in your pyjamas before drawing your curtains. Presumably having an early night, and she’d hate to deprive you of sleep. So she had occupied herself by enjoying a cup of tea by her fire, and indulging in some mindless scrolling.
Every now and then she liked to check Enid’s blog, it was vital she knew what was happening in the school, in real life and online. It was all just unofficial updates on the school’s happenings, a few posts about gossip but it was the harmless kind — nothing malicious. That was to be expected, the young lycan was too kindhearted. Larissa brought her mug to her mouth and took a long drink, not taking her eyes off her phone as her thumb moved the page down. The next post had been published just yesterday, it had her eyes bulging from their sockets and her tea going down the wrong way. She did her best to contain her coughing and spluttering whilst trying not to spill her boiling hot drink everywhere. She set the cup down and pressed play on the video post.
It took a minute to load, Larissa was sitting forward in her seat, elbows planted on her knees as she held the phone up. Finally the damn thing had loaded and started to play. It was a video, taken by shaky hands. From the Harvest Festival, of herself and you — arms linked. In one hand you have a cone of candy floss, tearing a piece from it and holding it up to her where — to Larissa’s abject horror — she obediently takes it from your hand with her mouth. What was she? A famished horse eating from the hand of a preteen girl in a corny coming of age movie?
Suddenly she had no need for the fire or your scarf. Her face was red hot with embarrassment as she began to think of ways to control the damage done. The video kept on replaying as Larissa’s brain raced through her options — talk to Enid, but that would mean Enid knew she had seen the video, expel Enid, although that would leave Wednesday with no moral compass, or she could flee the country.
Larissa runs a hand over her face and closes the video, she then notices the caption, reading ‘A budding romance?!’. There’s a small handful of comments too, she opens the channel and skims over them. She wasn’t sure what she was expecting but it wasn’t this. An onslaught of positive words. One student had simply written ‘goals’, another ‘I want what they have’ and a whole host of similar additions.
The blonde sighs heavily and continues her scrolling, a few posts down there’s a poll made at some point that morning, and two photos accompanying it. The first is taken from outside the greenhouse, foliage creeps around the edge of the frame blurred, out of focus. Through the glass panes you can make out two figures, Alice and Marilyn mid-motion as they hold each other close — slow dancing to whatever music was playing at the time. The sun was bright that day, painting them in a soft whimsical manner. With her thumb — nails perfectly manicured as always — she swiped to the next photo, her heart spiked as she saw herself being dragged along by you, hand in hand as you left Nevermore’s front entrance. You’re looking over your shoulder at her and even from the angle of the photo you can see your beaming smile. The scarf that blankets her shoulders is wrapped snugly around your neck. She feels bitter sweet, knowing she would go on to break your heart but that was done — she had started making amends. The feeling of your lips still fresh in her mind.
The poll results are quite even, it’s been labelled ‘Nevermore’s cutest couple?’. Now, Larissa was above such competitions — no couple was cuter than the other, everyone loved differently and in their differences their own cuteness shone through. But she felt a twinge of pride when she saw that you and her were sitting at 52%…
Oh.
It dawns on her that neither of you had defined what would come of your mutual feelings. Larissa would really love to have you as her lover, her partner. But that oh so familiar hesitance still breathes within her. Her walls itching to build themselves up even higher. You would discuss that in due time she supposed. For now she was happy to go with the flow — being on the same page was enough. Knowing that you knew she liked you back was enough.
She smiles as she recalls a mantra from not too long ago, ‘friends is enough’. She had been kidding herself on. Being your friend would never have been enough. She couldn’t stop her heart from calling out to you. A call that was answered back.
~
Alice’s soft snores fill the silence of her bedroom as she sleeps atop her covers. Cuddled into the side of Marilyn, who’s reading a book on the natural magic of herbs and such, it’s aptly named ‘The Green Witch’. Her reading is disrupted by her phone buzzing, she turns it over and raises a brow that disappears behind her thick fringe. She answers.
“Hello?”
“Sorry to be calling so suddenly, have you seen Enid’s blog?” Larissa’s voice emanates from the phone — sounding small and staticky.
“Uh? No? Should I?” Marilyn put her book aside, she would have sat up if Alice wasn’t half laying on top of her.
It’s then that the lycan stirs, eyes fluttering open and her voice hoarse as she mumbled an apology for falling asleep. She speaks loud enough to be heard faintly on the other end of the line.
A pang of jealousy ripples through Larissa’s heart. How she so badly wanted to be cuddled next to you right now. She was envious of how smoothly the blooming romance between Marilyn and Alice had gone.
“You should, message me when you have, I’ll let you get back to your evening,”
“Alright, enjoy yours,”
Marilyn pressed a peck to Alice’s lips, who’s still riddled with sleep. She navigates through her phone to Enid’s blog. And just like Larissa had, she wades through all the posts — stopping momentarily to smirk at a certain video of her boss and colleague. Then she starts to choke on her own breath as she comes upon the poll.
Alice had sat up in an instant, patting her back and asking if she needed water. Her reply is the phone being shown to her. The lycan’s eyes bulge as a hand slaps over her mouth.
“How the hell are we losing!?”
~
In one room Alice and Marilyn partake in a harmless back and forth over the poll. Across the school Larissa is watching the video of her being fed candy floss on repeat. Stunned into silence. Meanwhile you’re already tucked into bed — happily prancing around dreamland. Oblivious to Alice blowing up your phone. Asking if you’d seen the latest posts on Enid’s, now infamous, blog.
~
You’re not sure why you didn’t feel the need to check your phone when you woke up, you went about getting ready for the day and your phone was all but shoved into your pocket.
Your classes go without a hitch and before you know it lunch is upon you. You decide to take a quick five minutes to look over your lesson plans for the rest of the day before joining the staff lounge.
The staff room is filled with the droning buzz of overlapping conversations, you can hear the coffee machine whirring away as it pours cup after cup. You stall in the doorway before deciding you quite fancy some caffeine.
There’s a few teachers waiting for the machine, so you busy yourself with your mind, your thoughts much kinder than they had been last week. You let your gaze wander over all your colleagues when you notice Larissa’s platinum blonde hair. She has her back to you, with Alice and Marilyn sitting across from her, their chairs scooted close together. The three of them seem to be in a tense discussion, hands flying around to punctuate whatever points the bring to the conversation.
“You seem to be in better spirits,” Vlad’s accented voice breaks you out of your daze. He’s standing in front of you in the short queue, and has turned around to face you.
“Oh, you think?” Involuntarily your gaze trails over to Larissa again, “I suppose I am,” it’s said with a soft sigh.
Surely your sulking hadn’t been that obvious… you’d like to think you did a good job at hiding it for the sake of professionalism.
“I hope you don’t mind me saying this, I’m only a few doors down from you but I heard you crying a lot last week… whatever it is, I’m glad it has passed,” he offers a kind smile.
It doesn’t calm your worries, in fact it makes it worse. Had you been crying that loudly? You’re mortified.
“Vampire’s have very astute hearing,” it’s as if he read your mind.
“You had me worried I’d kept the whole corridor up,” you let out a nervous laugh. Looking back at him.
Although he wasn’t in your department, Coach Vlad was a nice man, he held a stern, no funny business exterior but he was a kind guy, and liked his banter. Sometimes the vampire could be a little on the nose, blunt even, but he always meant well. He also was a fan of literature, often popping into any old English class to see if anyone was up for a little friendly debate on whatever old classic he was reading. You had indulged him a few times.
~
“If we talk to her then she’ll know we check her blog!” Marilyn gesticulated with her hands.
“But our privacy?! She’s a lovely kid, it was from a good place… but we can’t exactly ignore it,” Alice chews her lip as she thinks of solutions.
Larissa has her phone out, on Enid’s blog. Almost obsessively checking the likes to ensure they didn’t increase too quickly.
“The posts haven’t been seen by too many people… yet,” Larissa thought out loud. Her brow furled, a small line forming between them.
“Right, a simple talk with Enid, just a gentle reminder about privacy.” Alice says with a conclusive nod.
“Marilyn, would you be able to ask her to pop round to my office at the end of the day?”
“Of course, I think I have her class next… or is that tomorrow?”
Alice stifles a chuckle as the redhead pulls out her phone to check her class schedule. Their hands are joined and rest on the table — Marilyn’s thumb absentmindedly stroking Alice’s hand.. And it’s then that Larissa notes your absence, having been too invested in discussing the blog. She recalls Alice having said you always, without fail, spend your breaks and lunch in the staff lounge.
Was it too obvious of her to ask about you? Larissa assumed you’d told Alice about your brunch date, and about making amends. So really, why couldn’t she ask?
“Miss. Hansen, do you know if Atikah will be joining us?”
The principal feels herself run hot under Alice’s smug, knowing look. She gets an answer but not from the lycan, nor from her redhead paramour.
“She will be joining you,” your voice chimes in from behind her. With a mug brandished with the Nevermore emblem in one hand, steam rising from it, you place a hand on Larissa’s shoulder as you take the seat next to her.
Blue eyes follow the mug as you set it down on the table, a faint mark left on the rim from your lipstick. A subtle nude shade. She laments when your hand slips away from her — mourning how brief the contact was.
“That seemed like a high stakes conversation,” you comment as you lift the mug to your lips.
“Do you not have a phone or something?” Alice is quick on the offensive, “I sent you like fifty messages! Have you seen Enid Sinclair’s blog?!”
“Enid has a blog?” You ask dumbly.
“Yes! And you’re on it,” Marilyn chimes in, much less abrasive than Alice.
“Oh god, I thought no one saw when I knocked that painting off the wall!”
Larissa clears her throat at this admission.
You snap round to face her, “It was an accident! It’s not damaged, I swear!” You feel like you should raise your hands up in surrender.
The blonde’s stern expression doesn’t hold up as she smiles whilst shaking her head.
“As long as it wasn’t ‘The Lady of Shalott’ then you’re off the hook, darling,” there’s the briefest pause before the pet name.
You relax and resist the urge to kiss her cheek. Marilyn’s mouth hangs agape as her eyes flit between the pair of you.
“It wasn’t- anyways, Enid’s blog…”
You pull out your phone and right enough, Alice had monopolised your notifications. Earning a small uttered ‘wow’ from you. There’s 9 missed calls, and 24 unread messages from her.
You open one of them and scroll up to the screenshots of the posts, and a screen recording of the video she had sent you. The trio watch as your eyes scan over the screen, then widen into saucers before ungracefully dropping your phone onto the table and covering your face with both hands. A strangled groan coming from you.
“Why do you even have a phone?” Alice huffs in exasperation, “I’d get a reply faster with carrier pigeons,”
“I don’t know how you didn’t know about Enid’s blog, it’s the main source of gossip in the school,” Marilyn ponders aloud.
“What do the comments say?” You peek through your fingers. You don’t want to know but not knowing will eat you alive.
“Here,” Alice hands you her phone, open on her account with Enid’s page.
You should to open the comments section, “Fuck! Oh shit,” you begin to panic.
“Woah!!! Wha- ”
“I liked it…”
“You did what?!” Alice screams like a banshee. Drawing the attention of a few teachers sitting nearby.
“I didn’t mean to!” You don’t bother unliking it. The damage has been done and Enid probably already has seen the notification, ‘Alice Hansen and others have liked your post’.
“You’re a train wreck,”
“I’m sorry,” you mumble, skimming over the comments. Nothing bad to be read. You feel less anxious about it now.
You pass the phone back to Alice and then settle your hands onto your lap, safely away from any technology. Your cheeks glowing in embarrassment.
“So… are Larissa and I still winning- I mean what’s the plan to get those taken down?”
“I’ll talk to Miss. Sinclair at the end of the day,” Larissa says flatly.
She was dreading it, not broaching the topic. That was a breeze, it’s the fact that her love life was part of the issue at hand. Talk about embarrassing. Would she have to deny her entanglement with you, for the sake of saving face or was it too late to feign ignorance.
Conversation begins to flow between the four of you, and several times Marilyn goes to ask a question but bites it back at the last moment. At some point one of Larissa’s hands falls to her own lap, then across to yours. You look over to her, brows beginning to pinch together, she’s still holding Alice’s eye as the lycan rambles on about a new plant fact she had learnt, Marilyn leans on the table, her chin resting on her hand as she gazes fondly at Alice. Slowly — you can feel Larissa’s timidness in her movement — Larissa’s hand finds yours. Her fingers working their way under yours, her palm resting over the back of your hand.
She swallows, still not looking away from the history teacher. Your eyes follow the bob of her throat as a warm smile takes residence on your face. You give her hand a soft squeeze and tune back into Alice’s tangent.
Lunch is about halfway over when Marilyn sits up straight, with a concerning suddenness.
“Oh! I completely forgot I promised to show Lys something at the greenhouse!”
You can hear the bemused laughter in Alice’s voice even if she isn’t laughing, “Wondered how long it would take you to remember,” she leans into Marilyn just a tad, “there’s only so many plant related topics I can talk about,”
You let out a little ‘aw’ at their dynamic as they excuse themselves. Walking hand in hand to the exit. Leaving just you and your blonde companion.
“They’re cute,” she muses.
“Yeah…” you turn to look at her once the pair have left the room, “but according to the students, we’re cuter,”
“Oh hush,” Larissa rolls her eyes and looks away but you can see her fighting a smile.
After a moment of comfortable silence you break it.
“Can we go to your office?”
“Now?”
“Mhmm,”
“Of- of course,”
You let Larissa stand first, her hand leaving yours. You head over to the sink and wash your mug before trotting to catch up to her at the door.
“Is everything okay?” She searches your face for any signs of distress. None are found.
“Yep, I just wanna be with you, alone, is all,” you say as you open the door for her. A hand on the small of her back as you guide her out the room.
~
You do love the staff lounge, it gives you a chance to get to know your colleagues that aren’t in your department. Also eating there means you don’t have crumbs on your desk. Which is always a plus.
But lying on Larissa’s couch in front of her fire — does she ever not have the fire going? — cuddling with her was so much better. Neither of you really felt the need to talk. Having each other’s company was enough.
“Rissa, can I have your number?” You ask out of the blue, dispelling the tranquility that filled the room.
“You already have it,” she murmurs. Looking into the fire as the flames dance.
“I do?”
“Mhm, I called you Saturday night, well Sunday morning technically. When you came back from your… night out,”
“So it was you who called?” You pull your phone out and scroll through your call history. Making quick work of saving her as a contact.
“Yes? Who did you think it was?”
“Dunno, a spam call,” you shrug as you add a heart next to her name.
“At two in the morning?” She asks in amusement. Her lips quirking into a smirk.
“I was drunk, cut me some slack,” you complain at her teasing.
“I had my phone out when I bumped into you, I thought you’d put two and two together. Who did you think I was calling?”
You let out a nervous chuckle, playing with the neckline of your shirt. “Your fuckbuddy…” you whisper it hoping she doesn’t hear.
But she does. A deep rich laugh comes from her. The kind of laugh that comes from the stomach. You pout at her as she fights to compose herself.
“That’s rich coming from you,” she gasps out, “I’m flattered you think I could have that sort of arrangement,”
“How can you not? When you look so ethereal all the time,” you say it with sincerity. “Also you were wearing next to nothing under your coat, what else was I to think!”
“That I was wanting to make sure you were safe… I was actually on my way to pick you up,”
“You were?” You didn’t think it was possible to grow more fond of this woman. Yet you have.
“I was worried something had happened to you, when Marilyn and Miss. Hansen returned without you, but it seems you were safe, with someone,”
You sit up, a pensive look on your face, “I’m yours now,”
The instinctive distrust seeps into Larissa’s mind but she banishes it in an instant. She knows you speak the truth and — despite her past issues — she lets herself believe you. Because she really does.
“I know darling,” she coos gently.
Satisfied with her answer, you lay back down. Larissa lets out a content sigh — lying her head on your chest as she listens to the steady beat of your heart. Her arms slinked around your midriff.
“Comfy?” You giggle.
Your fingers trace the curls and loops of her intricate updo — touch featherlight lest you mess it up. You wonder how she managed to style her hair so perfectly each day. It really was a work of art.
A little hum is your answer. The blonde lifts her head up off your chest to look at you, a dreamy smile plastered on her face. She shuffles a little to bring her face closer to yours. Seizing the opportunity, you steal a kiss from her. Eyes closed as you relish in the feeling. It was just as electrifying as the first, if not even more so. Your arms circle her neck and pull her even closer to you.
It was warm and wet — Larissa’s tongue, as she swipes it over your bottom lip. Asking silently for entrance. You give it to her instantly. Helpless in stopping yourself from whimpering into her mouth, the noise prompts Larissa to hold your hips as she presses into you impossibly closer. It’s slow, the kiss. Sensual. It’s more Larissa exploring your mouth as you do the same with hers, taking your sweet time. There’s no urgency behind it, as if Larissa knows you won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, that you’re with her for good. And maybe that’s because it’s true.
The human body needs oxygen to function, much to your chagrin. You pull away, out of breath and your lips are tingling and bruised. You watch entranced as she licks her thumb and wipes off her lipstick that had transferred onto your face. You let her, unable to look away from her.
The blonde’s eyes dart down to your lips, back up to your eyes then down again, lower. To your neck. Your hickeys had faded considerably but they were still visible, and you’d have to keep covering them for the next few days. The blonde notes the flawless skin (you were damn good at covering them) and tuts. She kisses your cheek, then your jaw before ghosting her lips over your neck.
You shiver at the sensation as those lips leave a burning trail in their wake. She stops at your pulse point and kisses it firmly, before opening her mouth and sucking. A tiny moan escapes as your back arches into her, your hand finding her hair and gripping it — so much for trying not to mess it up earlier. Seconds later, which feels like a lifetime, she unlatches. Her tongue lapping over the lovebite she’s left, soothing the skin. Larissa’s attention to detail was commendable — she had memorised every mark left by Maven. Leaving hers in an area the woman hadn’t touched. Her hickey to lay claim to you.
“Larissa!” You whisper, in disbelief. You had classes in the afternoon.
“Lunch is about to end, you have just enough time to cover that up before your fifth year class,” she smiles up at you smugly.
“You devil!”
Her laugh is music to your ears, you glance at the clock on her wall. She was right, if you walked fast you’d be able to get to your quarters and remedy your neck and then get to your classroom. If you left immediately.
You coax her up onto her feet and head for the door but she stops you, pulling you into her embrace. She steals a chaste kiss from you, a hand stroking your cheek. You don’t want to leave her but you’re in a time crunch.
“Do you want to watch a movie tonight?” You really hope she hasn’t got a full schedule today.
“Absolutely,”
You grin and peck her cheek before rushing to the door, you cast a final glance over your shoulder at her, noticing how her hair is as pristine as ever… how peculiar.
~
You breeze into your classroom with the stragglers, already announcing the plan for the period as you walk in. You can still feel the ghost of Larissa’s lips on your skin. You find your fingers keep finding their way to your neck, tracing over the area — the bright red mark hidden under makeup.
~
Enid stands in front of the ornate oak doors that tower over her, taking in the paneling and gold plaque. Her heart races in her chest as she wracks her brain for any wrongdoings she could have commited. She really hopes Weems hadn’t found out about the heart she carved, with her and Wednesday’s initials inside, on the tree that sat in the courtyard.
She knocks twice. Quietly. Hoping that the principal wouldn’t hear and she could scurry back to Ophelia hall. Claiming the door went unanswered when her failure to show up would be addressed.
No luck. Larissa’s velvet voice is heard through the door, “Come in Miss. Sinclair,”
Enid gulps as she attempts to steel her nerves.
“What would Wednesday do,” she whispers in a futile attempt to pep talk herself.

Acolyte
word count: 2.7k a/n: hii i'm going through a depressive episode and this is my fic about soap with a depressed reader cos he's my babygirl. might expand on them idk i love soap i wanna keep writing for him
Johnny is a friend of Kyle’s, and Kyle is a friend of Farah, who is your friend. And Johnny, or Soap, is here because Kyle invited him since he had “nothing better to do”. And it’s alright, he’s fun and a little loud, he talks over people but always apologises. You were a little nervous to meet him, having been promised a get-together with people you were already well-acquaintances with, but the tears in your eyes, from laughing, that is, dismiss all previous nerves.
“And then he-” He’s cut off by his own wheeze, it’s been going for a couple of minutes; him and Kyle trying to retell a story about their captain, but they keep getting interrupted by their own laughter. You don’t think it’s that funny, if anything their reactions are the thing that make you all go into hysterics. It’s hard to feel sorry for all the other patrons. 
You feel drunker than you really are, save for Farah, you only had two to three beers each. It’s the kind of silly drunkenness induced by being with friends. The forgotten UNO cards on top of the table shake as Johnny’s fist hits the table trying to catch his breath.
And the pub’s playlist keeps playing every top #1 hit from the last 20 years. And at some point you’re all performing a rendition of smash hit “500 miles”. And you’re getting giggly with sleep. And Farah’s driving you home. And she’s asking you about Johnny, which makes you giggly all over. And she’s telling you he’s single. 
And then it’s morning. And there’s a message from an unknown phone number.
“Hey. This is Johnny. 
Just wanted to let you know I had a blast last night, loved meeting you :-)” 
It makes you smile trying to figure out what to write back. Why is it so hard to sound nonchalant while also a little interested in getting to know him? 
“So did I!
Haven’t laughed that hard in a while lol”
That’s cool, right? It’s half a good response at the very least, since you get a response back.
“Wanna meet sometime?”
Oh, that’s good. At best, you get a little attention and maybe a lay, at worst you get a new friend. You keep texting throughout the day, you two fit like a puzzle piece: talkative, extroverted and active. He sends you a picture of a squirrel he saw earlier on his morning run, you send him a picture of your cat back with the caption “my asshole son” to which he replies “don’t be mean to him”. Those little interactions keep getting exchanged. On Monday, you send him a fun fact about a shark that had a virgin birth. Tuesday, he’s telling you about his fear of dogs. Wednesday is the perfect occasion for a picture of your cat, Gus, sleeping in a funny position. Thursday, your phone pings with a string of texts ranting about Glasgow City. Friday you’re texting Johnny that you’re at the restaurant you’re meeting at, a hole-in-the-wall that mastered the art of oily food and crispy chips, he replies he’s running late.
“I’m so sorry for making you wait.” Is out of his mouth before any greeting. “Are ye hungry?” It’s more a conversation starter than an actual question.
“It’s okay! No worries.” You’re just happy to be hanging out, not bothered by his tardiness. 
The two of you sit and chat, you learn he has a tattoo of a revolver but won’t say where. He laughs at the face you make while imagining where it would be. “Don’t be dirty!” He chastises, it’s within the law that you steal one of his chips as payment for the teasing. You ask where does Soap come from.
“A’m good at cleaning.” It’s a short answer that explains enough, you’re not keen on pushing the topic any further. Luckily, he changes the topic rather quickly, it looks like he’s not a big fan of silences. “Tell me aboot Gus. How’d you get him?” 
“A colleague’s cat had kittens, she was trying to find them homes, Gus was the only one left, runt of the litter you know?” He nods, listening, interested in what you have to say. “Kept pushing and showing me pictures of the guy until I caved. When I took him home he wouldn’t stop screaming, I think he might be part siamese, they’re really vocal. So, he kept me up all night, I thought he was sick or something, I even took him to the emergency vet, turns out he’s just a dickhead.” He smiles at the insult. “A very cute one, though.” You add, it’s hard not to love him even if he wakes you up at 6 a.m. on the dot.
 “Can I meet him someday?” he might if you’re lucky enough.
You might as well thank every saint, divinity, and omnipotent being for your luck tonight. He accompanies you home, only because “he’s a gentleman”, according to him. The kind of gentleman that kisses you dizzy and gets invited into your flat.
You text Farah about the events of the evening before falling asleep, it’s not kiss and tell if she’s your best friend. And in the early morning you’re both woken up by an angry Gus, whose side of the bed has been stolen by a guy that almost doesn’t fit in it. You’re cuddled on his side, one leg over his.
“Gus-Gus….” It’s a groggy mumble of displeasure, you know he only wants to be beside you, but the hour doesn’t help your mood. Still, you move away from Johnny so he can jump onto your chest for cuddles.
“He does skirl alright.” That morning voice might actually be the death of you.
“Told you. He’s an asshole.” A breathy laugh makes his bare chest move as he turns to face you.
“He’s real cute though.”
“Are you not tired?” The early morning light peeks through your window, the sun isn’t even out yet and you can’t imagine anyone that is appreciative of being woken up so early.
“Naw, no’ really. ‘M used to it.” 
It feels weird, good weird, to have him in your bed like that. Barely a week since you met, and he feels so close, more like a friend than a one-night stand, more than a friends-with-benefits. He checks the time on his phone before speaking again.
“Ye want breakfast?” Your eyes are closed again, hugging Gus close to your chest, hand moving up and down his fur but not doing much to pet him. His call of your name is answered by a groan, it makes him chuckle. He scoots closer to you, you can feel his arm coming up for Gus to sniff and the cat readjusts himself so his head is closer to Johnny’s. “Hi”.
Oh but the warmth dissipating from his body is to much, that and the soft noise of Gus’ purr drives you to fall asleep again. You only half dream, a mixture of images that won’t make any sense once you’re awake again, which happens rather soon as the bed adjusts and you feel a hand run through your hair. 
“Can I make tea?” His voice sounds softer than earlier, you nod, opening your eyes just a smidge to look up at him.
“Biscuits in the cupboard…”That’s as much as you can muster now. “Wake me up when it's done?”
“Course.” 
He left with Gus following behind, but you can’t seem to fall asleep again. That was…rather intimate. Your stomach feels hot and your chest tighter. Shooting your eyes open you’re quick to grab your phone again, Farah replied an hour ago.
“Wooo! Good for you”
“You’re gonna have to tell me everything about it btw”
“Farah”
“How pathetic is it to have a crush on your one night stand?”
Oh you don’t like that, calling him a one night stand, feels too impersonal, rude almost.
You’re getting out of bed, into your restroom and to the kitchen. 
“Good morning” He leans against the kitchen counter where your meds are,he’s looking at his phone waiting for the kettle to boil, clad in his boxers from last night, hair a mess and body soft under the morning light. Even though it’s the same body it feels so different from last night, scars, bigger and small, litter his body, it’s muscular and soft at the same time, big pecs a tad too inviting and a tattoo on his forearm. Reaching for the pills would mean standing next to him, probably brushing against—no, touching him, and that makes you nervous. Oh. You’re embarrassingly down bad. 
He stayed the entire weekend, Friday through Sunday. Next week it was picnic and football. You’re convinced any major team would be jealous of your 1-person teams and 5 meter field. He’s good, but you’re full of fear as he chases you for the ball, it’s the predator-prey kinda adrenaline that makes you score. 
“Yes!” 
“Offside! Offside!”
“What do you mean offside? There’s no one I can pass the ball to!” In fact, there’s not even a goal. You grab the ball and go back to him, looking straight into his eyes in fake defiance. 
“Talking back to the referee? That’s a red card.” He looks so handsome like this, standing tall and unmovable, even if only joking, and you let him know via a quick kiss to his lips. He’s pulling you back to his lips not even half a second after, deep and slow, giggly. “Bribin’ me, huh?” You let out a soft, happy, sigh and kiss him again.
“Wanna go home?”
You tell Farah everything over a cup of tea and a piece of cake, of course. And she laughs at you, not in a mean way at all, only friendly and amused, still you hit her arm.
And the following week it’s film night. This one’s more spontaneous than the others, it’s been a tough week at work, you want a quiet evening and some company so you ask him if he wants to come hang out, he replies saying that he’ll be there in 30.
It’s the two of you, your favourite take out, Gus-Gus sitting on the back of the sofa and Fargo on the TV. He’s not paying as much attention to the film as he is to you.
“What?” You say, turning to look at him.
“Ye’r a beauty.” You smile shyly and kick him on the leg with your foot slightly. “A’m serious. I like you a lot.” A big smile grows on your face, and it’s enough confirmation for him to know you feel the same.
Or at least he thought so. There are no plans for this weekend, not for lack of trying, that is, Soap’s been trying to text you all week, it’s a big shift from your daily texting. He misses the little life updates you send him. Tuesday, he thought you might just be busy. Wednesday he stops trying to contact you, did he do something wrong? Went too fast? Are you ghosting him? What did he do that was worth the silent treatment? Thursday, he tries calling you, multiple times. Friday all rational thoughts have left his brain, did something happen to you? Are you okay? Christ, what if you’re dead? He texts Farah, swallowing his embarrassment.
“She’s okay, I think.”
“Going through a bit of a depression episode at the moment.”
“She’s going recluse, I know she wouldn’t mind a bit of help.”
“I have a spare key to her flat if you want to come get it.”
The string of texts floats around his mind, spare key in hand in front of your front door. He’s been inside before, but he was invited in, this feels invasive, but Farah trusted him, and she knew you best. He sent you a message before showing up, the last bit of chivalry he can offer before showing up in your home, it went through, and he hoped you read it even if you didn’t reply. 
He calls your name upon entering, no response. Gus comes running up to him to headbutt his legs and meow, a quick look lets him know his water bowl is clean and automatic feeder full, that’s a good sign. His voice trembles as he calls for you again. 
“You know where she is?” Great, now he’s speaking to the cat, and he meows in response, great, an actual conversation with a cat. Gus takes off and squeezes himself into a room with the door ajar, your bedroom. He knocks before entering, not expecting a response. The room is dark except for the light coming from your laptop, empty and half-full glasses taking up most of the space on your desk, chair full of unfolded clothes and a doughnut of blankets on the bed.
“Go away.” The doughnut speaks. His heart breaks at the sad, much softer than usual tone of your voice.
“Love.” The pet name slips from his lips, he notices but doesn’t attempt to correct himself. He walks closer until he’s sitting next to you. “Can I help you?” 
You shake your head no, or what’s visible of it. “Go away, I stink.” He chuckles.
“That’s fine, smell better than the lads in base.” It’s a pathetic attempt at humour, you still shake your head no.
“You don’t have to do anything.” You don’t sound sad or angry like he thought you might, it’s emotionless, almost like an automatic generated response.
“But I want to. Want tae tak’ care o ye” He wants to make everything better, wants to fix everything, wants you happy and energetic and smiling. It’s silly how much he cares for you after barely a month of knowing eachother, scary now that he’s admitting it out loud. He pulls down the blankets for a full view of your face, his hand goes to your hair, it’s tangled, he’s careful not to pull on it. “Am gunna run you a bath.” It’s not a question, you laugh slightly and he smiles, realising what he said. “Didny mean it like that, c’mon.” 
He helps you up from the bed and into the restroom. From your seat ion the toilet, you observe the way he turns on the tap and rummages through your cabinet, trying to find something to put in the water, you assume. “The orange bar in the back.” He halts, looks for a second and comes up with it, he leaves it on the sink while he turns off the water, you grab the bar and crumble a bit of it into the tub. He looks at you and gets up, you take it as your cue to undress and get in. Johnny comes back with a change of pyjamas and underwear and leaves again. You can hear him moving around and making noise, talking to the cat in occasion, while you clean yourself, when he comes back it’s to put your dirty laundry in the hamper. You don’t know why that’s the thing that makes you break and start crying. As soon as he notices, he’s on his knees next to you, softly caressing your cheeks and moving your damp hair away from your face.
“Whit’s wrong?” 
“I don’t want you to do this.” Is no reply to his question. “I don’t want you to have to do this.”
“M’eudail.” He starts. “It’s okay.”
“No it’s not!” You look up at him” I’m so sad all the fucking time and I don’t want you to have to deal with that, it’s not fair to you, you know? I don’t want you to have to take care of me or put up with me.”
“But what if I want to? Wanna take care of you, wanna put up with you.” You shake your head no, looking back down.
“Johnny, I’m so much. I get so clingy and stupid.” 
“That’s fine by me.” There’s no deterring him. He lifts your head up by your chin to kiss your forehead, bright blue eyes staring at you. 
And you realise how ridiculous this is. You’re crying in the bathtub, your friend-situationship is on his knees next to you, again, crying in the bathtub. You let out a sigh and nod.
“Okay.”

I'm ill at the moment so I was wondering if you could do a lesso or larissa (your choice) where r is sick and tries to hide it by still teaching but the other notices and looks after them
Let me look after you| h&c
*Authors note~ I hope this provides some comfort for anyone who needs it, it's providing me comfort by writing it. Dt ~ rip ems🥺🤭*
Trigger warnings~ sick r mentions of being sick
Prompt~see ask.^^^^^
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
You hate being sick, that's a fact. But this time it was even worse because you couldn't find your special bear. You normally kept him on the shelf by your bed but you'd not been able to find him for the last week. It didn't bother you so much when you were feeling okay. But now you were sick you would be lying to say you didn't want to curl up into bed with him and sleep the aches and pains away.
Instead you decided to push through the pain, you woke up after Larissa left for her office, with coughs that were wrecking your lungs so much so you thought they'd collapse. Your nose running like a facet and your head pounding as if it was being beaten with a spiked bat. You tried to shift into a sitting position as your aching muscles protested your vision started to blur. How on earth did you think you'd get through the rest of the day?
You knew if Larissa knew you were sick she'd excuse you and herself from classes and work and she'd take care of you. But you don't like being sick and inconveniencing people especially Larissa. She loves her job and she is amazing at it, you know of the stress it brings so why would you bother her with a silly little cold?
You somehow dragged yourself from the sheets sipped on water and took some medicine for the symptoms, stuffing your pockets off tissues you set off for your class. Thankfully most had mid exams so you'd not have to worry about your scratchy throat being overused too much. You'd only got through one period and you felt like death warmed up. You were pretty sure you'd have no voice at the end of the day even with the minimal talking you were doing.
Your dry crackly cough was screwing with Wednesdays concentration, a quick glance around the room showed many other students shooting you concerned looks. So of course Wednesday had to be the one to abruptly leave the classroom before you could even finish your fit of coughing.
Larissa knew you were stubborn but to think of you struggling to work in your condition made her heart constrict at Wednesdays words. Despite her monotone voice and lack of facial expression, Larissa knew Wednesday was also concerned for your health. The young Addams seem to have a soft spot for you so she thanked her and went on her way to find you.
The class ended and students left before you collapsed taking in the papers, the sickness now raging on with a fever that was borderline dangerous. That's how Larissa found you. "Darling? Oh god my love you have to stop being so stubborn"she murmured scooping up your collapsed body. She gently carried you to your joint bedroom before sending a quick email to others letting them know you needed covering and Larissa would be working from "home."
You began to stir moaning in pain as you felt the uncomfortable heat of your fever raging on. "Ris" you whimpered before your eyes were even open. "I'm here darling can I take your temperature?" You whimpered allowing her to touch your forehead. "Darling, it's much to high let's go cool you off, get some medicine for you and you can sleep all cuddled up with me. How does that sound love?"  Larissa didn't even wait for your sleepy hum of approval before getting you a cool bath and some medicine to fight the illness.
She was careful but quick and it wasn't long before you were cuddled up on her chest in one of her big t shirts that she would always deny owning if asked. "Mmm sorry mm sick" you whimpered only to be hushed by the blonde. "Hush sweetheart, sleep now okay?" You immediately clung to her in your feverish haze, "stay." Larissa couldn't help but chuckle, "of course darling, I'm here now rest."

From the Diary of Wednesday Addams:
"I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched". It is a quote by Edgar Allan Poe that I have never forgotten. While the specifics of his death have been shrouded in mystery for lifetimes now, it takes only a focused mind to realize it was love that drove him to take his own life. For a mind can no longer remain sane when it opens itself to the maddening desires of the flesh. For logic, rational thinking, tactical planning, and unclouded judgment have no place in the presence of romantic entanglement. I have seen how it clouds my parents' judgment at all times, and makes them behave like fools. Unlike them however, I have learned to keep my mind far more disciplined; always able to be far more prepared and focused on any task at hand. However one night... years of discipline and logic had been forgot... in the passion of a moment..."
Tumblr media
Wednesday Addams was walking down the hallway of her dormitory at Nevermore Academy wearing a black bath robe. As Wednesday was headed towards the communal showers, suddenly her room-mate Enid appeared wearing a pink robe, and ran over to Wednesday as she said, "Oh, hey roomie. You taking a shower too? Mind if I join you? We have so much to catch up on." Wednesday barely made eye contact with Enid as she said, "Then you may save my time by writing it down and allowing me to look upon it later. I can read over 200 words a minute, and am experienced at knowing how to skim past trivial information." Enid giggled and said, "Girl, you actually are funny. But come on. We have so many details to spill." Wednesday sighed as she looked at Enid and said, "Enid... your constant need to act like a loyal puppy that shoots out streams of nonsensical words of affection maddened me upon first arrival here at Nevermore Academy. However..." Enid with optimism in her voice, interrupted Wednesday as she said, "However now we're total besties. I know. I mean the other day when I complained about those crows being too noisy, you shot them down with that rifle you stole. I mean you almost got expelled for bringing a firearm into school, but it was knowing you were just trying to help that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside." Wednesday looked slightly nervous for a second, and then said, "The ravens weren't native to this area. They would've disrupted the fragile ecosystem. But with all that being said, my daily half hour of taking a shower is one I prefer to do in peace." Enid smiled as she said, "Got it... So I'll make sure to lock the door after we both go in there so no one will bother us." Wednesday had a look of anger on her face as she continued to walk forward.
Soon Wednesday and Enid walked into the communal bathroom and shower room still wearing their bath robes. As they approached the sink, the two girls got out their toothbrushes and bottles of toothpaste they had in their pockets while Enid said, "So me and him decided to just be friends, and well... now I'm single again. I'm okay with it, but... it is kind of sad." As Wednesday put toothpaste on her toothbrush, she said, "It is sad... considering whenever you went out on dates, it allowed me to have more time to myself in the dorm." Then as Enid put toothpaste on her toothbrush she said, "Oh yeah. You're single too. Sorry things didn't work out for you recently. Still, I'm sure you'll find happiness one day Wednesday. Think you'll find that special man to settle down with one day?" After Wednesday finished brushing her teeth she said, "My mind and soul is not one to be trifled with. For my heart is filled of a darkness infected by cruelty; because it was my crime to have no man on Earth who cared for me, or loved me." As Enid finished brushing her teeth she said, "Oh, so you're not into guys then? Messaged received." An annoyed looking Wednesday then said, "No. I am what the eclectic youth of today would refer to as: asexual."
Enid chuckled and said, "Hey. We're all teenagers at this school. Each one of us is a sexual beast deep inside. I may not want to be a werewolf, but when I lost my virginity to my next door neighbor when I was 13, I was a beast in his bed." A suddenly curious Wednesday then said, "You... have consummated your affections with another individual before?" Enid then casually said, "Yeah. I mean... our relationship didn't last. We were young and didn't know what we were doing. But I can't change the past. What was meant to be is what happened. I have no regrets." A still curious Wednesday then said, "So... you opened yourself up completely to another individual... your emotions led you down a path that did not result in fulfillment... and yet you are still not disturbed by that?" Enid then casually said, "I choose instead to just focus on the future. When me and the boy I lost my virginity to broke up, I was hurt at first. But eventually I had to move on. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Then Wednesday calmly said, "Well... on that philosophy I wholeheartedly agree."
Tumblr media
Then Enid stepped towards one of the showers as she said, "Well... time to get clean." Then Enid slowly slipped off her pink bath robe. As she did, Wednesday felt her eyes drawn to Enid's body, which she had never seen naked before. For a moment, Wednesday found her mind feeling drawn to Enid's nude form... but then snapped back to reality, and then slowly took off her bath robe and joined Enid in the shower. As Wednesday put shampoo in her hands, Enid checked out Wednesday's body and said, "Dang girl. You have like... the most perfect naked body I have ever seen." Wednesday felt a loss for words for a moment, and then said, "And you as well... considering you are the first naked underage female I have seen in my entire life." A curious Enid then said, "Wait. You mean you've never looked at porn or like Playboy magazines before?" As Wednesday began to wash her hair, she said, "I choose to use my time more productively. However I can understand why men in many cultures of our world have grown obsessed with the image that is of a beautiful and objectified naked woman, and the fantasy of being their lover. For man always values that which is fleeting, and what is more fleeting than a woman's beauty and her life. The death then of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world, and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover."
Then a slightly confused Enid said, "So... you're saying if I died, there would be a bunch of guys out there that would be totally depressed?" As Wednesday glanced at Enid's naked body again she said, "Undoubtedly some men would mourn the loss of their fantasy involving you never coming to pass." Then a sympathetic sounding Enid said, "Well... if you were ever gone Wednesday... I'd feel really bad. Because you never got a chance to open yourself up to love, along with... making love." Wednesday began to wash her naked body under the shower as she turned away and said, "I'd prefer not cloud my judgment with emotional entanglements." Enid then stepped towards Wednesday and said, "But Wednesday, you're so super smart and skilled. Also, you're like one of the strongest girls I know. Stronger beyond measure. If things didn't work out with someone you slept with... I know you would be okay and come out still the strong independent women you are. I mean... come on. You're still a teenager. There's gotta be someone you're attracted to here at this school."
Wednesday then looked down with a troubled look on her face. Enid for a moment thought Wednesday was looking away from her. Then Enid noticed Wednesday's eyes were checking out her wet naked body, and then Enid's eyes widened as she said, "Oh... oh my. You... Wednesday... I'm flattered. But... how long have you had a crush on me?" Wednesday keeping her usual serious tone said, "I... have never experienced a crush on anyone. When I first moved into our dorm, your personality and life preferences made me want to consider actions of homicide. However as I stood over your defenseless sleeping body the first night I moved in, I... found myself feeling... pity for you... and eventually... a form of... special respect. However... I do not wish to go steady or put a ring on it as you may say." Enid then waved her hands briefly and said, "No, no. That's okay. Look Wednesday... we don't have to put on a label on what you are or how you feel. I mean... I've felt something for you since you moved in. But it's hard for me to put it into words too. So... how about we just explore how we feel tonight. And when morning comes, if you want to keep exploring our feelings, we will. And if you don't want to keep exploring it, that's fine. We can act like it never happened. No strings attached with me. You can do whatever you want with me. Is that okay?" Wednesday was still for a moment, and then she silently nodded her head.
Tumblr media
Both Wednesday and Enid stood still in the showers for a moment as they starred at each other's naked bodies, while also waiting for the other to make the first move. Then Enid noticed despite the room being warm, Wednesday's hands were slightly shaking. Enid then made a little smile, and decided to make the first move. She moved towards Wednesday and then kissed her on the lips. It was a three second short kiss, as Wednesday remained completely still, while only Enid leaned her upper body and head forward. Wednesday and Enid looked into each other's eyes again, waiting to see what would happen next. This time however Wednesday leaned her head forward slightly. Enid leaned her head forward more, and then the two teenage girls kissed again. Enid then wrapped her arms around Wednesday's back. Enid then broke her kiss with Wednesday and smiled, while Wednesday looked confused. Enid giggled and said, "It's okay. Just go at your own pace, and explore how you feel. Whatever you wanna do, we'll do."
Then Wednesday suddenly and quickly shoved Enid hard into the shower wall with her shoulders pinned. Wednesday immediately kissed Enid more aggressively now as Enid looked shocked at first, but soon began to look pleased and responded by moving her fingers through Wednesday's long hair. Wednesday meanwhile ran her hands down Enid's wet backside, and soon found herself grabbing her roommate's firm smooth buttocks. Wednesday squeezed Enid's butt cheeks, causing Enid to moan. Suddenly though the two girls found themselves almost slipping on the wet shower floor. Enid caught Wednesday from falling down, and then said, "Umm... maybe we should switch this to another location?" Wednesday then to Enid's surprise: made a grin.
In less than a minute, Wednesday and Enid were on Enid's bed in their dorm room completely naked while kissing. However soon the kissing moved from each other's lips to all over their bodies. Then in a private moment only the two young women would ever remember... they made love. For hours, Enid and Wednesday pleasured the other in the most intimate way possible; causing the other to moan in pleasure and even call out the others' name. After hours passed though, soon the love making between the two young women ended. Exhausted, both Enid and Wednesday began to fall asleep. The last thing Wednesday saw before she drifted to sleep was Enid smiling at her, and the last thing Enid saw before she drifted to sleep was Wednesday's face full of many mixed emotions...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next morning Enid slowly woke up, and saw a blanket was covering most of her naked body. Enid then turned her head and saw a fully dressed Wednesday was sitting in a chair nearby finishing her breakfast. Enid smiled and said, "Hey beautiful. So... did you have as good time as I did last night?" As Wednesday began to prepare to clean the breakfast table, she said, "It was... very pleasurable." Then a curious Enid said, "But... how do you feel? I mean... emotionally and mentally? I mean for me... I feel so alive and happy right now. I mean... you literally made me hit my climax six times in one night, and I made you hit your climax seven times. I mean... you were doing some crazy stuff I never know you were capable of. I mean... that whole experience had to have affected you in some way, or caused something to change in your mind." As Wednesday cleaned the table, she said, "Well... the experience did cause me to think about us... in another life." A confused Enid then said, "You mean... you think we could only be together in a different life?"
Wednesday turned her head and said, "No. I mean in a past one. You see, I have visions of the past sometimes, and... as I experienced my orgasm last night, I saw a vision of us in a past life. The two of us were lovers. In my vision, we were two women that looked just like us in the 1800's in a small English village. We had deep romantic feelings for one another, but upon our sexual activities being discovered by the terrible village elders, we were sentenced to a private execution. And that execution as it happened, felt as real as I've felt anything. Bullets after bullets penetrated my flesh, my muscles, my face, my heart. In my vision I felt the cold release of death take over me... and the feeling came to me just as I felt myself hit my final climax. It truly was the most wonderful sensation I've ever felt in my life."
A confused Enid then said, "Wait. What was the most wonderful sensation? The sex or the shooting in your... You know what, it's all good. So do you like... wanna do that again some time? Or we could dial things back, and just take a walk in the woods together and talk some more." Wednesday made a little smile and said, "A nice idea... but your chains do not extend as far as the woods. I shall see you later." Wednesday then left the room and closed the door behind her. A confused Enid then tried to get up, but felt something strange. Enid then took the blanket off her naked body, and saw she was chained to the bed by her ankles. Enid looked very freaked out for a moment... but then calmed down... smiled... and said, "I think we're definitely gonna do it again."

WIP WEDNESDAY - 13/03/2024
Tumblr media
Tagged by jon @bigassbowlingballhead love u pal <3
I am on somewhat of a short writing sabbatical I tell myself. I've posted nearly 75,000 words in six weeks which is a lot for me. So I'm taking this week to relax from my WIPs before starting to post scheduled oneshots and start a new chaptered fic.
That being said i wrote a 1500 word fic this morning which you can just have here lmao.
Summary:
Exes Alex and Henry meet at the funeral of Henry's twin George who was killed suddenly aged only thirty-five. They haven't seen each other in four years.
The wind is bitter as it blows down from the top of the hill. It’s March, so it’s that time of year where the sun isn’t quite ready to negate the feel of the chill early in the morning and late into the evening. It’s already eleven am and the sun does feel warm when the wind dies down. A few moments reprieve where Henry doesn’t have to pull his coat tighter around his body or wish that he’d worn something that was more wind proof.
They don’t really make raincoats that are funeral approved, however.
Still, he pulls his thin black pea coat so it doubles over him. It’s too big. It’s not his. It was too big for George too, but his brother loved to wear oversized things. Said it made him feel small and holdable.
The thought crushes Henry. What he’d give to hold George now.
Everyone else has already gone. His mother didn’t even show. Her grief is exponential, increasing and deepening at such a fast rate now that she cannot be touched. Losing her husband young destroyed her, but burying one of her children eviscerated her. Not even the scars of her former self remain anymore.
And Henry understands. More so maybe this time than when his father died. He loved his father so much, but George was his twin, the other half of his soul. Maybe this is what his mother felt. Maybe this is what it feels like to break apart. Except she isn’t haunted by her husband by every reflective surface, by every future birthday. By every photograph of his childhood, every fucking Instagram post. By every friend they had because they didn’t even have separate friendship groups. Everything they had they had together and now Henry inherits it all.
It's too much.
(continues under cut, tags following)
It’s times like these that Henry curses being raised as an atheist. He wishes he could believe that something came after this, that he and George will meet again, but he can’t. People tell him that George is in a better place. A dark part of him agrees that six feet under some fucking dirt is probably better than living in a two bed on Peckham Highstreet. It’s a lot cheaper.
Henry gets the sudden urge to jump into the grave. It’s open, waiting for someone to come and cover George and seal him down there forever. Henry could just jump in with him.
“I didn’t think anyone would still be here.” A voice says from behind Henry, startling him.
He turns to see a beautiful man wrapped up in a warm black coat and scarf. It’s Alex, because of course it is. Who else would be so late to a funeral they miss the entire service. Who else would spring up out of the ground at Henry’s moment of despair like some kind of macabre dandelion.
“Right on time, I see.” Henry tries to snark, but his voice comes out small and fragile.
“My flight was delayed.”
Henry hums. “Nice to know George wasn’t worth flying out a day in advance.”
“Don’t.” Alex says, firmly but not aggressively as he moves to stand next to Henry. “Don’t do that, H.”
“Don’t do what?”
“Don’t act like I didn’t care about him too.”
Henry feels crazed, like he wants to scream and tear off his clothes and jump into the lake and inhale the water.
He lets out a forced laugh instead. “Oh right! Of course. My apologies. Of course my ex-boyfriend who I haven’t seen in four years also cares about my fucking dead twin brother, so much so that he shows up uninvited at his funeral an hour too late. I’m sorry for being so insensitive.”
“H-”
“-No!” Henry shouts. It’s so out of character that it snaps Alex’s mouth shut. He lowers his voice. “No. I don’t know why you’re even here.”
Alex looks down at his shoes. “Would you believe me if I told you Philip invited me?”
Henry scoffs. “Pull another one.”
“It’s true,” Alex says gently. “He called me…after… He called me when, uhm-”
“-When George was stabbed to death in a pub in broad daylight?”
Alex lets that sit for a moment. “Uhm. Yes. He called me again to invite me.” He takes a deep breath and when he speaks again his voice cracks, “we were together for ten years, Henry. I loved George like he was my own family. We were a family.”
And they were. Alex had met Henry at university, and they fell in love almost immediately. Alex had transferred to London and George was assigned to be his ‘buddy’ and he’d always taken credit for introducing Alex to Henry. Always said that he’d have to mention that in his speech at their wedding.
The air leaves Henry’s body, but he doesn’t breathe out. It just evaporates in his lungs. He and Alex never got married. George never got to give his speech. And now George will never be able to give a speech at his wedding. Never be his best man.
But he has to give it to Alex. George was his friend and he know that they’d sort of kept in touch over the years, in an Instagram comment every couple of months. He never begrudged George of that. Their breakup was hard, and Henry got everything. Got their friends, their flat, the whole fucking country. Alex had gone back to Texas and not looked back. George was collateral in their breakup too and Henry knows that losing Alex was tough on him as well.
“H?” Alex is hesitant, but he gently takes Henry’s hand in his.
“I don’t know how to do this.” Henry says suddenly. “I don’t know how to do any of this without him.”
George was his better. The two-minute older brother who was confidant and sociable, who looked after Henry every fucking day for thirty-five years. Who literally and metaphorically held Henry’s hand throughout all of their hardships. Henry remembers their father’s funeral, how Philip was stone silent, and Bea was high, and their mother was vacant. How George, only eighteen, took charge and read a eulogy. He was a lighthouse built onto the rock, so strong and bright.
Afterwards George had cried, they’d both cried, in each other’s arms. But the next day George had got out of bed and forced Henry to do the same.
“It’s going to be hard; I know.” Alex says, squeezing his hand. “But you’re stronger than you give yourself credit. I mean. Look at me. You left my sorry ass.”
Henry thinks about how Alex had lost himself in his work and how their relationship had degraded over six months of broken promises and missed dinners and sitting alone in their apartment. And how it broke him down into nothing before he’d finally had enough. They’d both had enough.
He’s heard that Alex is doing better now. That he’s finally learning how to have that work/life balance that was only a dream to them back then.
“I’m all alone this time.”
“No, you’re not.”
“Yes I am. Bea has Michael and the twins. Philip is…well he’s Philip. Mum is completely vacant and our friends are all grieving.”
Henry knows Alex is going to say some placating bullshit like, ‘oh it’s okay you have me,’ like he doesn’t live thousands of miles away.
“You should come stay at the lake house.” Is what Alex says instead.
“What?”
The lake house was their place. Before everything went to shit, they often spent time there, sometimes with their friends, sometimes with Alex’s family, sometimes just the two of them. It’s a haven, really. A place where time doesn’t exist. All sunshine and water and blues skies.
“Come stay at the lake house. Get away from London for a while.”
“But my family-”
“-Be a little selfish for once, H.” Alex turns to him and looks him in the eyes. “I don’t have to be there. You can just come and unwind in the sun. Take a break from this all and have time to grieve properly.”
It’s insane. It’s irresponsible. It’s not possible. He buried his brother an hour ago, his family is falling apart again but.
But this time they all have their own families to fall back on. Their own spouses and kids. Even his mother lives with Philip and Martha and has them to look after her.
Henry lived with George, not out of necessity, but out of love. George who’s dead. George whose dirty tea mug is still on his bedside table and his laundry still in the hamper.
He can’t go back there.
“Okay.” Henry says. “Okay I’ll come with you.”
And, later, it’s hard to get on the plane. But once he’s in the air, he takes his first deep breath in weeks.

Previously on ‘Hot for Shuri’
“wai-Wait how about you two have lessons here.” Is she serious? “I could buy some chairs and smaller desks and have them shipped by your second session.” She is serious. Riri considered for a bit, Shuri rocked on her heels waiting for her response. 
“Look, see you get two geniuses for the price of one.” If she only knew. Shuri couldn’t contain her excitement murmuring to herself that she'll place the order right now. You couldn’t feel any worse than how you did now.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------
A week has passed and it is now Wednesday. One day before you, Riri, and Shuri’s first tutoring session.
“Shuri- we have to talk.” Riri barges into Shuri’s office. It was four in the afternoon. Her walk is commanding and her fists are clenched. 
“Not now Riri.” Shuri’s face is in her papers, she is clutching a red pen. Her face is stone cold.
 A portable whiteboard with objectives for tomorrow stood opposite her bookshelves. Flash cards also sit neatly, there are a lot of flash cards. Two swivel chairs are positioned at Shuri’s desk and Riri took a seat. 
“Shuri, are you really mad at me?”
“I’m not mad at you-” 
“Yes you are, you haven’t given me anything to do in the lab for the past week” 
“Aneka is also very capable of filing and using a screwdriver.”
“Shuri.” Riri pleads.  
“What now?” Shuri was becoming more agitated by the second.
“Shuri! I know you.” Riri tries to grab Shuri's hand.
 Shuri yanks hers back and slams them down on the desk. “Well if you knew me, you would have known I was helping her.” 
“Helping her?” 
“Yes, her. She's been sitting there and not doing anything, asking no question, I don’t want to fail her. If you were trying to help you could’ve redirected her to me.” 
“Why are you trying to stop me from getting my money?” Riri questions and takes an immense sigh as she rolls her head. Shuri chooses not to respond and continues marking her papers, head down.
“Well too bad. I'm sorry you’re so hung up on my client but I can't do nun' bout it, she’s paying me, and if you don't like me helping.” Riri paused, “Why’d you let us use your office, huh?” Riri’s face screwed up. 
Shuri finally looked up, and flicked her eyes up and then down. "Because.” She smirks.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today is the day.
“Lia I'm sure it’s not that bad.” You drew out your voice. Your normal routine of picking Lia up from her two pm Basic Chemistry class is always a joy but today you have another engagement.
“Yes it is. I think she might have it out for me.” 
“I think you’re being slightly overdramatic.”
“No- I’m not. I know when someone is looking at me sideways.” When Lia got in one of her moods there was no dissuading her. You should go along with her for now. This time it was about her basic chem professor, allegedly; she's been making her answer questions when her hand isn't raised, taking half points off of her lab reports, and telling her to get off her phone more.
“So like a professor?” You had to remind her some time or later.
“I'm being serious- shut up, there she is.” The woman is really pretty, maybe twenty-six, her hair is in a high puff that’s slicked down, and her attire is suitable for working in a lab, with nothing flowing or too tight. 
Lia walked over to her and handed over a green folder. “Miss Pratt, here is my final draft for the different types of foodborne diseases.” 
“Thank you Miss Hamilton, I expect this is in a three prong folder and without your name on the lab report.”
“Yes ma’am,” Lia answered respectfully. Professor Pratt collected the report from her hands. As she turned back, Lia did a silent fist pump, and you quietly laughed behind your hand. “You are too much work, Miss Hamilton, I’m not your counselor but don’t let your friends drag you down.” Damn, you’re starting to see what Lia’s been telling you. Professor Pratt just nonchalantly flipped through her lab report. Lia gave her a very stink cut-eye, clenched her teeth, and pursed her lips. ‘Lia don’t do this please’ your eyes implored her. 
“Well, I don’t think you don’t have to worry about that, in fact- my friend has something to get to for a professor and you’re holding us up.” Lia was furious, her brow furrowed, her eyes were starting to water, and the metaphorical steam was rolling off her in waves.‘Subtly and Lia never go together?’  You thought to yourself. 
“Lia, Lia calm down, let's go, we spent thirty minutes here already. ” You whispered to her while rubbing her back in circles; Hoping to calm her down.
“Thanks, angel, it’s fine. You’re right let’s go.” You 'hmmed'. Professor Pratt glanced up from the lab report, she caught your eye with hers, though there was a feeling you couldn't place. You decided to give a curt ‘good afternoon’, Lia and you packed your bags and left. In the hallway, far enough from the lab, Lia said something.
“Told you, she was an ass.” Lia mumbled while sniffling.
“Hey-hey you could always make a complaint to the Dean.” 
“It’s not that serious, I'll be fine.” You gave her a hug sensing that she needed one.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Riri!” Your fist knocked on her door rapidly. You started to twitch a little bit, shuffling from one foot to the next and sweat was gathering on your brow. 
Lia leaned over to you. “I mean you could come with me back to my dorm-”
“Why would she do that when she just got here?” You knew the accent anywhere. First day of class and you’re already talking about ditching. You hung your head low with shame, but it wasn’t too low to miss the shit-eating grin Shuri had on her face; Lia was no better than her. 
“Riri’s coming in a minute but I could get you started on something.” A faint ‘she gonna get you started on something aye.’  You decided to end this interaction here. 
“Bye- I have to do real work now.” You told her sarcastically. 
“Work, alright then” Lia rolled her eyes and strutted away.
“Real work?” Shuri giggled above you. You seemed to have forgotten why you were there in the first place. She’s just so wow, looking up at her is something that you should do often. For a moment Shuri’s eyes were glossed over but reanimated once again.
“There’s a test on the desk for you.” you gaped at her. 
“A test, already?” 
“Yes, a test that you need to do. It’s just a general quiz, see where you are and what areas we need to focus on with you.” You flipped through the booklet; it’s ten pages. Do all the multiple choices make it better? Slightly. You shuffle over to your seat and rest your bag down. Shuri glided over to you and set the timer to one hour, she also handed you a pen; you told her 'thank you'.
Fifteen minutes later and you could still feel Shuri’s eyes focusing on you. You felt really good about it, even clenching your legs together. She was posted up by the door, leaning against it with her hands in her pockets. A loud knocking startled her and interrupted your train of thought, which didn't pertain to the test at all. 
“Hey! Hey sorry i'm late! That differential equations class, she loves group projects.” Riri stormed into the room, commanding all the attention. 
“Sh!” She put her finger to her lips and grabbed Riri’s wrist, tugging her towards her. 
“What?” Riri whispered.
“She’s taking the pre-test-”
“When did we decide on that?”
“When you came late” Wow that ended the conversation quickly. Shuri accentuated her words by poking Riri in the chest at ‘you’ and ‘late’. You turned around to see what was going around for yourself. Shuri looked over Riri’s shoulder and mouthed to you ‘It’s fine’ and smiled; You returned a smile to her.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour and ten minutes have officially passed. Shuri and Riri are looking over your paper with rapt attention. Shuri puts your paper down and they take a heavy sigh. ‘This cannot be good.’ you say to yourself. Shuri decides to speak first. 
“Ok, we have a lot to do” she walked over to where you were sitting. “Circuits, thermodynamics and quantum physics, the rest I don’t expect you to know yet. Luckily, I caught you early so I could help before the class gets into more strenuous topics.” Riri rolls her eyes at Shuri’s boasting.
“I could get you started on the basics of circuits right now.”
“Alright that's fine.” You answered Riri. 
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You take a labored sigh, ‘This is too much work’. Riri’s words morphed into one very long blurb. Something about a series, parallels, inhibitors, and switches. The absolute sight that is Shuri just blended into the background by the forty-five-minute mark. ‘Maybe I shouldn't have taken this class’, you can hear Lia’s smug 'I told you'. Regardless, Riri notices your lack of energy, and she decides that stopping for the day is the best plan of action. 
“So.. how was the class?" Riri asked.
“It was good, you didn’t rush or anything, just a lot of information.” You answered.
“That's good, I’m sending you some practice questions and diagrams.” Your phone made a familiar ‘bzzt!’ You told her 'thank you'. 
“Alright, imma bounce, don’t forget my money on Monday-” Riri took her bag and gave a short wave to you and Shuri. The door clicked shut, and that feeling came back. The warmth in your lower abdomen disperses throughout your whole body but loves to make a special home between your thighs. You close your eyes and take a breath to cool yourself down. Shuri looks at you inquisitively.
“You do know nobody get’s things right the first time around, yeah?” She looks at you from behind her computer. 
“Huh?! Oh-oh, the class.” She lets out a light giggle at your flustered-ness. Awe how sweet, she thinks you're worried about your performance (you are- but not at the moment). Her giggle grew into a boisterous cackle, and you were unsure whether you should join in. 
“I'm sorry-I'm sorry it’s just your face when I reminded-” She had to catch herself because of her laughing cutting up every word in her sentence. “When I reminded you of the lesson, your face just-” she made a downward motion with her hands. You were delighted to the fact that she found you funny but to the cost of your hornyness was an issue. 
“I promise, I won’t talk about the lessons after we’re done with them.” You gave her a ‘really’ look.
“I swear-” She was so close to you, you wondered if she somehow developed teleportation. Shuri was sitting on her desk, her cashmere pant leg almost rubbing against your arm. You decided to pull your head up so it doesn't look like you were staring at her crotch. Terrible mistake, the peak of her collarbone winked at you through the two unbuttoned buttons on her shirt.  
"So, what are we going to talk about?" a weak grin accompanied your question. 
"How about your friend? You guys seem cute." She gave an exaggerated nonchalant shrug. 
"Who? Lia? What, no, she's a friend, a good friend. Why ask though?"
"I'm sorry, Riri's just been-"
"Ah! I knew it!" You shot up out of your chair knocking Shuri off her balance. She fell with a thud against her desk, your hand on her wrist doing nothing to aid her fall. All you could do was laugh-her eyes widened. 
"Bast, ndandingazi ukuba ungandincumela." Shuri expressed sweetly while looking up at you while both of your arms caged her in. You immediately stopped laughing and jumped back realizing the compromising position you two were in. You checked your phone and it was six thirty!? Oh no, you snatched your bag off the floor mumbling a skittish 'I have to go bye!' The tension dissipated Shuri let out a weighty sigh as she got up and picked up her paperweights and pens off the floor. She buttons her shirt and shakes her head. 
As you sprinted down the hallway in the corner of your vision you saw Professor Pratt. You didn't know what the look was then but one thing you knew is that it was cold. 
"Good evening, Director Udaku."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You slammed your door shut, threw your bag in the corner of the room, and marched yourself to shower. In which none of your thoughts were consumed by Shuri at all. You ultimately flopped down on your bed after that exhausting day. Your eyes are heavy as lead, your pillow calling you to sleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You knock on the door, “Come, in..”, her voice groggy. She obviously didn't get enough sleep last night. The blinds were drawn slightly shut over the windows, minuscule fragments of light escaping. 
She’s at her desk, hunched over again, her head diving forward for the coolness of her desk. 
“Shuri..” you cooed, voice lilting on the last syllable, “Please at least close the computer”. Your heels clacked against the hardwood flooring like a metronome. Adding to the soothing haze you were unknowingly putting her under.  
You reached her, placed your hands on the desk, and bent over peeking at Shuri’s drowsy form underneath your eyelashes. Shuri's upper body sloped over, head now fully smooshed on the desk, her eyes closed and her hands trying to capture you with as much effort as she can. You being sneaky, you moved back, Shuri sensing your presence is not in immediate reaching distance; she pouts, pushes herself off of the desk, and flops dramatically against her chair. 
“Who knew Professor Udaku was just a child in disguise?” Your voice was coy, almost flirtatious. Her face scrunched, then morphed into a warm smile. You let out a sigh and began walking over to her briskly. When you got close to her, she spread her legs, and you ‘hmphed’ as you walked past her. She’s starting to pout again-
“Now Shuri stop that'', your sentence trails into a light whisper. Shuri’s chest feels heavy, she cracked her eyes to see you draped over her. Your hands rubbed her chest and your face nuzzled in her neck. 
“You have to stop doing this to yourself, at least for me please”, goosebumps littered her skin as you spoke. Your lips trailed up and down her neck, tenderly kissing her skin. Your hands now grazing the buttons of her white button-collared shirt. Shuri moaned softly, her right arm tugged at your left, and she tilted her head back allowing more area for you to kiss. Your right hand trailed down her shirt slowly unbuttoning, you could feel her abs, they clenched as you touched. Your hand grazes the belt buckle before stopping your ministrations altogether. Her knee jerked and her eyes shot wide as you giggled on the side of her chair. 
Her hair was a little roughed up and you could see the perspiration growing in between her brows. She tilted her head, “You think this is funny come here-” You’re trying to back away from her but your heels proved to be your downfall. It only took her two steps to pick you up and throw you over her shoulder. Those abs did not clench for nothing- She plopped down her seat and brought you down on her leg gently.
 “Let me kiss you properly.”, she was so demanding but who were you to deny her. She chased your lips with hers but every time she missed and you pulled away. Shuri was fed up now, she grabbed the back of your head and smashed your lips together. You moaned into her mouth 
“Shuri..”, she took that opportunity to slip her tongue into your mouth. One of your hands that was around her neck slipped into the back of her shirt to unclip her bra. She ground her thigh along your clothed pussy, your slick seeped through your underwear and onto her pants. She trailed sloppy kisses down your neck to return the favor and unhook your bra but she barely managed to suck on your nipple before you interrupted her. 
"Wait-wait" you were breathless but you wanted to do something for her. She paused, she looked frightened for a second but she began to understand when you slid down her body. She's moaning unabashedly, the guttural sound she makes. It makes you want to kiss her and leave her breathless as she did you. Unfortunately, you have to focus on your job at the moment. 
You come face to face with her clothed mound, and you give her a kiss. You unbuckled her belt, she was more impatient than you, she nearly kicked a hole trying to get her pants off. Oh, you could see why she was so excited now-
"Shuri-"
"Ewe-angelo?"
"How long did you have that on?" You give her a coquettish grin from between her legs.
"Is it bad if I don't remember?" She peered down at you and gently thrust her hip into your face. You got the message but you bit her thigh as payback. "Unh-" She thrusts again, so you decided that holding down her hips was the best option.
You pull down her boxers with your teeth and watched them drop out your mouth and down her thigh. She's so wet, you plunge your tongue in her pussy. Licking her folds, swaying your head from left to right eventually moving to suckle on her clit for more stimulation.
"Agh- you're so filthy, I'm gonna cum, usana- usana- please."
You tilted your head back, your eyes crossed, and your chin glistened. As you caught your breath, Shuri stared at you-
"You want a picture?"
"Is it bad if I say yes?" you chose to ignore that as you mounted her again to kiss and let her taste herself. 
"Keep your eyes closed." she told you. 
"Ah" you moaned lightly in her mouth as you felt the buzzing of the vibrator against your underwear. 
Although when you opened them back to look at Shuri's glistening face, you were met with the ceiling of your dorm. You chose to scream into your pillow thanking every holy being imaginable that you didn't have a roommate. You decided to look for your phone and of course, it was between your legs. You put in the passcode.
'Shit!'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happy WIP Wednesday Thursday!
Apologies for forgetting it yesterday, but from my poll I did about three weeks back, HFBE is next up for its WIP.
Ingo just had a very bad day, but now he has to entertain unexpected company.
Enjoy! Wording is apt to change
————
Overall, Ingo was thankful it was raining tonight. The cover it provided from both sight and scent was welcomed, even as it seeped through his coat to steal his warmth.
Veering off the trail and pushing through the underbrush surrounding Sneasler’s cliffside, Ingo sighed a clouded breath through chattering teeth. He felt so worn out, especially after today. But thankfully, all he had to do for now was make it back up to Lady Sneasler’s mountainous den.
And then he could lie down in soft, warm material, surround himself with comforting creatures, and give into his exhaustion. Sleep would take him away from the roiling emptiness of his stomach and the searing sting of his burned hand until morning-
“There you are!”
Ingo almost lost his grip on the ridge, he was so startled at the sight of Akari standing at the entrance to Sneasler’s den.
His frayed nerves half-believed he had been too late – a zoroark had found the den and torn it apart, and was now attempting to finish him off under a placating guise. But no, a zoroark would not have a pokeball held in their hand, standing stiff in defense of said entrance. And a zoroark certainly would not be running over to him, arm outstretched in an offer to help.
“Sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you,” She pulled Ingo by the wrist when he reached out for her in turn, and she helped drag him back up over the ridge. It was rather humbling to sprawl across the rocky stretch rather than jump to his feet like he wanted to, but energy could not suddenly spring upon him the same way unanticipated company could.
“I just- I wasn’t expecting you here,” Ingo first pushed back onto his knees, then got a leg under himself to stand up. Young eyes went wide at the red flecks staining his tunic as his front was revealed to her, dark splotches contrasting the lighter fabric.
“What are you doing out h-”
“-Is that blood?” Akari couldn’t help but interrupt as she gestured towards the heavy spatter, worried a leaking gash was hidden under the fabric.
She was not exactly being loud, yet sometimes just a whisper would be enough to pick up on. Ingo did a quick scan of the black fingers of shedding trees surrounding the ridge. The subdued mountainside ambience suggested the absence of the foreign, gaunt hunters, but it would not stay that way for long if they stayed out here, talking like this.
“It’s not mine,” An unsteady hand instinctively moved to the dried red – to cover, not to worriedly inspect. Ingo took a step towards the den. “Please, let’s move this conversation inside-”
“Then who’s is it?” The teen kept close to him, catching on enough to at least lower her voice. She was skeptical on whether it actually was his or not. But he supposed that was fair, considering everything he had kept from her lately. And to her credit, he supposed he looked disheveled enough to validate it.
“Inside.” Ingo took quick steps into the entrance, standing at the edge of the cavern’s darkness as he gestured for her to go first.
“It is yours!”
“Inside, please.” Ingo took her by the shoulder and guided her in. “…I promise it’s not mine.”

Who's the monster now?: Tyler Galpin x f!reader
Tumblr media
request by @angelicangelx : Tyler x Reader angst maybe Thornhill kills the reader leaving Tyler alone.
(I left Thornhill in her position as Hyde's master).
A/N: writing this was seriously a rollercoaster of emotion, so thanks for the request. Hope you'll like it.
„What?” I could not believe a single word Wednesday was saying. “That’s ridiculous. It makes no sense.” I started circling the dorm in exasperation.
“It’s true.” She was unaffected by my emotional display. Unlike Enid who upon seeing my tears, came running and hugged me tightly. “living in delusional will do you no good.”
“Oh, Y/N, I am so sorry” Enid said softly. Unlike  Addams she was always so full of compassion.
“How long did you know?” I wriggled out of Enid’s embrace and came closer to Wednesday eyeing her angrily “wait, wait, let me rephrase it. How long were you suspecting this?”
“As much as it pains me, not long at all. I thought it was Xavier, not Tyler. However , some latest circumstances made me change that theory.”
“What circumstances?” I squinted at her
“Did you have a vision?” Enid squeaked, but was immediately put upright by our cold glares “sorry” she muttered.
“I did. I went at the Weathervane and discovered the truth.”
“Why exactly were you visiting my boyfriend?”
“I don’t really care about the specifics of your relationship, so spare them. We don’t have any time to waste. We have to stop him from another ……”
“NO! No, don’t say that!” I interrupted her before she mentioned any of Tyler’s latest actions. “I’ll go. I’ll talk to him. Alone.”
“Y/N, are you sure? It seems a bit dangerous and I, I mean we” Enid glanced at Wednesday “ would hate to see you hurt or…. Or worse. Maybe you should think……” the blonde was now babbling and I had no choice to calm her down before it got worse.
“Enid, Enid, hey, look at me.” My grip on her hands made her stop for  a second “I’m gonna be fine, all right? He won’t hurt me, I know it.”
“I think believing those words were the undoing of a couple people in and out of school.”
“Thanks for that input Wednesday. I know you may not understand it, but…..”
“You still love him, don’t you?”
“It’s not like I can just turn it off, for fuck’s sake! I just have to try! Maybe he was just brainwashed? Doesn’t the Hyde need the master?”
“It does…..”
“So, did you figure that part out Addams?”
“I’m working on it and…..”
“Then you keep that work and I’ll go talk to Tyler. Is that all right with you?”
“I….”
“Honestly, I don’t care. I’m going. You can’t stop me.”
“Maybe. But Enid can.”
“What? Me? How?” said one opened her eyes wide in surprise “you know I can’t wolf out on her.”
“Start crying.”
“WHAT?!”
“It will soften her.” Wednesday shrugged casually like it was the most obvious thing in the universe. “And she’ll stay.” Apparently, the black haired girl just let her inner psycho out.  “that’s how it works right? Emotions?”
“No offence, Wednesday, but you have learnt nothing about them.” Enid shook her head while I just rubbed my forehead in a mix of frustration and amusement, the latter being completely out of place.
“You know what, it’s like you said. We don’t have time for this shenanigans. Enid…?” I turned towards the she-wolf.
“I hate this. I have a really bad feeling about it. Y/n…..”
“Please, Enid….. “
“Oh, ok, all right. Go. But please, please, be extremely careful.” She hugged me tightly once again. “I won’t survive if anything happened to you.”
“I promise” I hugged her back “Wednesday?” her cold glare was focused on my face so intensely but something in her eyes showed a bit of fear and worry.
“Fine. Go. It’s not like you need my permission anyway.”
“But it makes me feel at least a bit better so thanks. I’ll see you soon girls.”
***
“Tyler?” I knew exactly he was at the Crackstone crypt. As if the whole situation wasn’t dark enough the setting only added to it.
“Y/N?” he turned around the second he heard my voice, concern on his face quickly extruded by love and care. Shit, I knew confronting him would be hard, but the way I had it planned inside my head was now crumbling under his gaze. The gaze of person I learnt to love so freaking much it hurt. “What are you doing here? It’s not safe.” He took a step closer trying to grab my waist but out of instinct I moved back and tripped on the step. Before I hit the ground he caught me and help me up, now holding so, so close I could feel the warmth coming from his body. Escaping and resisting his touch was just impossible. I desperately wanted to kiss him, but at the same time I had the urge to yell at his face and call him a liar. “What is it love?” he asked studying my face that showed all those conflicted feelings.
“Are you serious?” I scoffed and tried to shake his hands off me, but he did not let me.
“ Yes I’m serious. What is going on? It’s not like you to sneak into the forest in the middle of the night. I’m getting worried about you.”
“Will you drop the act?!” I yelled which took him by surprise. However, his hold on me only grew tighter.
“What are talking about?” he started to stroke my hair and at this point I felt hemmed in. Maybe Enid and Wednesday were right.
“Tyler, I know. I know you are the Hyde.”
“Oh.” That was all he said, his grip getting more possessive now and I felt my heart pick up the pace significantly. “Are you scared?”
“I don’t …. I don’t know. “ I looked down “should I be?”
“Sweetheart….” He caressed my cheek with his thumb “look at me.” I shook my head in refusal but it was not enough “come on, don’t go all stubborn on me now. Please.” he smiled with his most charming smile and that caught me. I locked eyes with him looking for the boy I knew. The sensitive, shy and a bit clumsy one I fell in love with. Was he still there. “You know I would never hurt you, right?”
“No! Honestly I don’t know it anymore!” I used the moment to finally break free. I could not think straight when he was touching me and using his magic on all on my senses. The only way to regain any sense of rationality was to break that contact.
“Y/n….”
“Stop it! You have hurt, fuck, killed people! Rowan! Dr Kinbott! Who else?! Why?!” tears was now flowing down my cheek and I hated feeling so pathetic. “Who’s making you do it?!”
“That is not of your concern!”
“Oh, really?!”
“Yes!”
“You wanted to know if I’m scared, right? Well I am now! You are freaking me out!”
“I’m sorry if you don’t like the real me.”
“The real you?! Fuck, Tyler! The REAL you!? The real you I know was a guy who would never hurt a fly! Who took care of people! Who I felt safe with!”
“You are safe with me.” He said sternly taking a step forward again, but I created an energy shield between us making him stop. “I’m going to say it once again. Despite everything you may think now, I would never hurt you.”
“Are you even in control of this…. This transformation?”
“I am. It’s not like I become a brainless zombie.”
“So when you… when you killed …. You were aware?”
“Yes.”
“Well, at least you are being honest now.” I muttered but still did not let him come any closer “why? Tell me, why?”
“ All those outcast, those freaks…..”
 “I am one of them, Tyler….. I am a freak too.”
“You are not. You are my girl, you are special. This energy bending you can do. It captivated me the second I saw you at the Weathervane. You had those little sparks in your eyes and you were just glowing…..” his face became so soft and sad because of this memory that I wanted to hug him and tell him everything was going to be ok. It took a lot of strength to fight that urge
“Don’t try to get off the track! You treat me differently, but I am not a normie, you know it!”
“But it is different with you!”
“Is it? If your master, whoever he or she is commanded you to eliminate me ….. you would have to comply. Isn’t that how it works!?” my voice was becoming more and more quiet with every word. “you may be aware, but you don’t have a say in choosing your victim, right?”
“y/n….”
“Come on, I know. I’ve read the book on Hydes while investigating with Wednesday.”
“Oh, yes, Addams. She’s way too curious for her own good. She was the one to told you, right?”
“You don’t really need the answer to that, do you?”
“No, not really. “ he shrugged  
For a second there was silence between us. The air becoming so tense with all the unspoken words and unexposed feelings that it was getting hard to breath. I opened my mouth to break it, but before I could let any word out he was right next to me. Guess being a hyde comes with extra speed too. I could barely register what was happening when he pushed me onto the wall, his face inches away from mine.
“I love you.” he whispered resting his forehead on mine and I closed my eyes to not show how much pain I felt. His love hurt and yet I needed, wanted him.
“How do I know it wasn’t just an act on your part to get close to Wednesday? She was always a target, wasn’t she?”
“Let me show you.” his lips brushed over mine. “Let me prove that what I feel is true.” He never needed my permission but this time I nodded and this was all it took for him to close the gap between our faces. I hated it, but as his lips moved against mine, in perfect synch, exploring, as his hands rested on my waist and mine locked around his neck, when our bodies adhered closer than it was physically possible yet still not close enough, I became intoxicated. The butterflies in my stomach erupted and I knew in a second that this part was true. He loved me. Despite everything. He wouldn’t hurt me. And I loved him too.
“I am crazy for you.” he whispered pulling away “please, don’t leave me.”
“Tyler…..”
“I want to make it work.” He caressed my cheek and the look in his eyes made me pray it was true as well.  At that moment I wished I was a mind reader. “But I can’t do it without you. It was always you. You're mine. And I'm yours. ”
“I …..” I hesitated. Damn the savior complex in me.
However, before I could formulate a coherent thought a sharp pain in the abdomen made me hiss and bend in pain. This sudden movement alerted Tyler who once again prevented me from hitting the floor.
“y/n? What’s wrong?”
“It hurts…..” I was unable to catch a breath.
“Hey, hey, stay with me. I’ll get you to hospital, it’s going to be ok.”
“No, I don’t think so.” a woman’s voice reverberated from the shadows outside the crypt. A fairly familiar woman’s voice. The person who it belonged to came inside the building making everything painfully obvious.
“Ms. Thornhill….” I gasped “you are…..”
“Yes, my dear. I am the master.” She pouted “I am really sorry it turned out like this. Teenagers and their hormones.” She rolled her eyes "You two falling in love was not a part of the plan.”
“What did you do?!” Tyler yelled standing in front of Thornhill, clenching his fists in frustration. Sad thing being, that we all knew he could never hurt his master.
“Tyler, honey, relax. She’s just a collateral damage. “
“Collateral damage?!”
“Yes. Think about the big plan, dearie. She was an obstacle and had to be eliminated.”
“What did you do to me?” I felt energy leaving me and saying every word was taking way to much effort.
“I may or may have not poisoned your food. Just a pinch of aconite did the job well.”
“I…..”
“y/n, don’t say anything. I’m going to get help.”
“You will do no such thing.” Thornhill absentmindedly played with her fingers observing us.
“And why is that?” he hissed through clenched teeth, my head now resting on his lap. I could not help wincing in pain, it felt like my guts were on fire.
“Think about it. Everyone at Nevermore know that you are the monster. No one will help you. Besides, she only has seconds to live. Just look at her.”
Even if I could not see my own face the glint in Tyler’s eyes was more than enough to realize how I looked. Pale, weak, fragile. I was dying in his arms and it was killing him to see me like this.
“Y/n” tears glistened in his eyes
“Ty…. Listen, listen to me…..”
“Don’t leave me….” He panted, his voice breaking.
“Be good…..” I whispered and as traumatic as it was closed my eyes “I love you.”
***
Tyler’s pov
She was gone. SHE WAS GONE.
It was real, but if felt like an abstraction.
My love, my sunshine, the one who kept me up at all times, who loved me unconditionally…..
She was gone.
And it was all her fault.
“Are you done sulking now?” Thornhill spoke from behind me. Her condescending tone and indifferent attitude was gruesome contrast to my own emotions. Y/N was lying lifeless in my embrace, her cold. limp body a reminder of what happened “Come on, we don’t have time for this.”
“You.” I hissed “you did this.”
“Did I? Oh, my sweet little boy. Think. Is this really my fault?”
“YES!”
“Hm. Bigger picture, Tyler. If it wasn’t for Wednesday spying and messing around, running that little investigation of hers, your girlfriend would never get involved in our business. And wouldn’t show here. And wouldn’t get hurt and well, dead. So, is this really on me?”
“I love you.” I left one final loving kiss on y/n’s forehead and then stood up ready to burn the Nevermore down for what it did to her “Let's go, we got work to do.”

a/n: just something to get me back into writing and rn i’m crushing so hard on steve harrington, maybe a future series? just some fluff lol, not my gif!

requested?: no, requests are closed but ships are OPEN
pairing: steve harrington x reader
warnings?: usual stranger things vibes/warnings, steve being wholesome, 
summary: mutual pinning between the scoops ahoy worker and the barista across the food court.
Tumblr media
robin was sick and tired of watching steve stare at the new girl across the mall. ever since you started working at a cafe opposite scoops ahoy in the food court, steve had suddenly taken a new found enthusam for being on the front desk - and robin wasn’t stupid, she had noticed his ‘slightly creepy’ staring at the poor girl who she remembered from their shared timed in high school. what was also creeping robin out was the fact steve was now early to his shifts, steve was many things but early was not one of them. robin’s breaking point was when she picked up on the fact steve had stopped trying to hit on every teenage girl who entered a 5 foot radius. 
on this particular wednesday robin could make out your figure clearing tables, simply minding your own business, with a sigh she turns to face steve who’s eyes are already following you, “why don’t you just talk to her?” “talk to who?” steve tries to play dumb, “the cafe girl you’ve been ooggling for the past 2 weeks” “her name is Y/N” “oh, she has a name!” robin claps her hands sarcastically, “brillant, so enlighten me - why do you know her name?” “because we went to high school with her” steve raises an eyebrow finally taking his gaze of you to stare at robin, “steve, do you really expect me to believe you remember a girl from high school who you probably never spoke to.” “how do you know i never spoke to her?” steve counters “did you ever speak to her?” “no, but-” “there is no but, why do you know her name? oh my god- have you been stalking this poor girl?” “what? NO! i just may have started visiting their cafe everyday before or after my shift” steve admits somewhat sheepishly “so you’re telling me that you’ve spoken to this girl” robin gestures wildly with her hands, “but not asked her out of made a move? thats not very king steve of you” she uses quotation marks with her fingers, “look, i’ve tried but she’s just” steve looks around exasperatedly, “different” robin gasps, “she makes you nervous” “no, i never said that!” “but that’s what it is, isn’t it? isn’t it?” robin repeated over and over poking steve in the side causing steve to lose his temper and bickering to occur, what they don’t realise while caught up in their argument is you walking into the store, in fact neither of them have any clue you’re there until you cough slightly and mumble a very quiet, ‘excuse me’.
the pair in front of you physically jump apart at the sound of your voice, “sorry i um didn’t mean to scare y’all” you cringe, “i was just wondering if you guys had any spare whipped cream we’ve ran out? i know it sounds so stupid but theres this kid at the cafe i work at right now having a full on meltdown because i said i couldn’t put any on his hot chocolate and i swear to god if i have to listen to a 2 year old screech in my fucking ear one more time i’m gonna loose it” you press your lips together offering a smile after your small rant.
for once in her life robin decides to actively help steve out by giving him the chance to reply to you yet after an awkward amount of silence she glances at him out of the corner of her eye to find his cheeks a deep crismon, he is nervous, she thinks before deciding to cut in to help whatever the fuck is going on, “uh yeah we do, i’ll go grab some!” she wanders off leaving you and steve again in silence, slightly cursing him to do something - anything. 
you cannot take much more of steve’s gawking at you, “so how's it going?” you offer a conversation starter, this helps snap steve out of his daze, “uh yeah, it’s um, it’s going - h-h-how are you?” he slightly stumbles over his words and you can see a red creep up his neck, “yeah i’m good” and soon you fall into a small conversation in which you decide to ask, “i was actually wondering if maybe you want-” “i got it!” robin reappears cutting off your almost-date proposal, with a sigh you slap on a smile and take the cream from her, “thanks so much,” you start to back out of the store, “oh and steve? i’ll have your regular ready for you tomorrow” you smile, “you’re a lifesaver” steve calls after you, his mind racing through what just happened and if you were going to ask what he thought you were going to, “your regular?” robin cocks an eyebrow, “black coffee.” steve mumbles, “steve!” robin exclaims “you don’t even like coffee!” “i might” “no you don’t and that’s a fact! once i let you try some of mine to which you said and i quote it tastes like ‘satans asshole’” “well maybe it’s grown on me” “no,” robin tuts “Y/N has grown on you” robin teases, “yeah well you ruined that chance,” steve pouts slightly, “what?” his best friend stares blankly at him, “she was gonna ask me something but you cut her off with your stupid cream!” “she asked for the cream!” “well you couldn’t wait 5 minutes?” steve shrugs with wide eyes waving his arms manically. 
you wander back across the mall, and a sigh escapes your lips once you get back to your cafe, where your friend and co-worker is staring at you with an expectant gaze, “well?” she asks, to which you shake your head, “i didn’t get to ask him, i got interrupted.” “ah too bad kid,” Y/B/F says ruffling, “well there's always tomorrow, when he comes in for his coffee which he throws away after talking to you” “yeah” you giggle, “there’s always tomorrow” “and once he says yes to going out with you please stop staring at him across the food court, you’re making many families and myself uncomfortable with you eye undressing” “hey!” you get defensive “i don’t eye-” “yes, yes you do Y/N” a blush covers your face, “in my defense, i think it’s the hair” this leaves both you and your coworker in an abundance of laughter all while robin and steve are back in another argument, going back and forth about how ‘robin ruined the moment’.

How about #4 "How can you not understand how much I love you?"
More Barcus because he’s my little king. I also went into the character creator and made Lithe! Wish there were more long braid options, but alas I am on PS5, not PC, so no mods.
Also sorry the line is a little different from the prompt. I wrote this from memory during a slow point at work today, so I didn’t remember it exactly right. 🤣
Tumblr media
"How could you ever doubt that I love you?" Lithe demanded.
Barcus gave a wry snort. "Is that supposed to be a joke?"
"Do I look like I'm fucking laughing?" She crossed her arms over her chest and fixed the gnome with a look that had frequently sent even Astarion looking for somewhere else to cause trouble. Barcus however, held his ground admirably.
"Well, let's just see, shall we?" he tilted his chin up in defiance. "You're a beautiful elven woman who murders evil-doers for fun, and I'm, what? A useless little gnome who can't take two steps without being kidnapped and isn't even worth enough to his own oldest friend to keep around."
"Wulbren. Is. A. Cunt." Lithe punctuated each word by tapping the knife-edge of one hand into the palm of the other. "Elistraee's divine merciful tits, you're so caught up with him you can't even see your own worth!"
"Maybe he's right!" Barcus cried, throwing his hands up.
"Maybe doves will fly out of my ass," came the sarcastic retort, at which Barcus scoffed. "I mean it, you're wonderful! You're clever and funny and brave--"
"Ha!" the smaller man puffed himself up. "Brave! You're the one chasing down mad cultists and stabbing at giant monsters, or whatever it is you do. I just..." he gestured helplessly toward the little workbench he’d set up on the corner of the inn. "Sit here and…tinker."
Lithe sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. She could argue with him until the sun went down and came back up again, but he was as stubborn as she was. The elf took a deep breath and slung her bow off her shoulder, knocking an arrow in almost the same motion. The gnome's eyes widened a bit and he took a step back.
"See that spider on the wall over there?" she pointed.
Barcus squinted. There was a tiny dark blob on a plank across the room, just above Rolan’s head. "Sort of."
Without taking her eyes off of him, Lithe pulled and shot her arrow. Barcus followed the arrow's flight and watched it sink deep into the wall with a dull thunk. The dark blob was now a little blobbier. Several people screamed, including Rolan, between whose horns the arrow had arced perfectly. Jaheira rose from where she’d hit the deck and shouted “Stop shooting arrows in my inn!”
Lithe ignored her. “Dead center. You can check if you’d like.”
"I wouldn't like," the gnome shook his head and began to wonder if picking a fight with such a terrifying woman had been such a clever idea.
"Barcus," she said evenly as she holstered her bow again, the inn’s occupants glaring at her and muttering. "I was born and raised to fight the worst this world has to offer and then some. I've trained for this kind of thing for a hundred years. Literally one hundred. Going after monsters is what I DO. That's not bravery, that's a Wednesday."
"I don't think you're making the point you think you're making."
Lithe held deceptively small hands out imploringly. "You're an artificer. Your area of expertise is libraries and workshops, not beasties and wilderness. But you took off into the unknown anyway, for the sake of your friend. You survived goblins and ghouls and slave labor at the hands of duergar and drow and crossed through the Shadowlands, all because you love someone so much you can't bear the thought of them facing such dangers alone. Barcus, that is so very brave I can't even stand it. Very brave, and very stupid, but it's an admirable kind of stupid."
Barcus crossed his arms over his chest and leveled an exasperated look at her. "Have you often been told you're terrible at declarations of love?"
"Quite often."
He sighed. He rubbed a hand down his face and sighed again. Lithe waited patiently.
“I absolutely hate it when you do this, but..." With world-weary reluctance, he lifted his arms. Lithe squealed and snatched him up into a bone-breaking hug, snuggling into the crook of his neck. Barcus tried not to squirm too much and let himself enjoy the way her breasts smushed against his torso. "You're a good girl," he muttered fondly, stroking her soft, herbal-scented hair. He very much enjoyed the little laugh and slight shiver that coursed through her, and tucked that interesting bit of information away for later.
"I'm not a girl, I'm a lady," she insisted playfully as she set him back down.
"A woman maybe, but certainly not a lady," Barcus grumbled, making a great show of straightening his clothes out. She may have been a proper adult at 110, but he was a good thirty years her senior. Not an unreasonable difference when one lived to be four hundred or more, but at least enough to tease someone about.
"I can punt you just as easily as I did Wulbren," she reminded him with a sweet smile as she turned to wander back out into the common area of the inn. Several nosy heads disappeared from around the corners and one person had the audacity to actually whistle innocently. Apparently her show with the arrow had drawn the patrons’ attention to their little drama. Barcus shook his head.
"Lithe, wait..." he called before he could think better of it. She paused and turned with a mild look of surprise and curiousity. "I...I care about you, too. Really, I do,” he promised earnestly. “I just need a little time, I think."
Lithe smiled sadly at him and continued on her way. Too late Barcus realized time was one thing she definitely didn’t have.

Ma Belle Evangeline~ Xavier Thorpe x Reader
—————————————————————
Gender Natural Reader (They/them prns)
Reader plays an instrument (trumpet)
Reader is Wednesday’s adopted sibling
Slowburn
Prompt: The rest of the semester was cancelled at Nevermore, sending everyone back to their homes. On behalf of her nagging parents, Wednesday invited her friends to stay over her house over the break. Little did they know that they’d get the chance to meet an extra person they had no idea even existed..
Update: I haven’t heard anything about the Percy Hynes White situation, so I’m opening back up requests for Xavier Thorpe!
—————————————————————
Tumblr media
Enid smiled as she watched the door creak open, revealing a certain pig-tailed female on the other side.
“Thank you for inviting us to stay for the break!”
“Please, don’t mention it”
Wednesday watched as Enid and Xavier walked into the house, the two taking in their surroundings.
“I’ll show you two to your rooms”
As Enid and Xavier followed Wednesday through the house, the couldn’t help but let their eyes roam around the place. Suddenly, the two felt a chill run down their spines as a breeze passed them.
“Oh, there you are. Pugsly was looking for you”
Wednesday came to a halt before she spoke, turning to face the new presence in the hall. Xavier and Enid turned as well, the two of them taken aback at the sight of a teen around their age.
“Okay”
The teen quietly responded, eyeing Enid and Xavier before turning on their heel and walking away. Enid turned to face Wednesday, jabbing her thumb in the direction the unfamiliar person had went.
“Who was that?”
“My sibling”
Wednesday casually responded, continuing to walk down the halls - not caring to check if Enid and Xavier followed.
“You have a sibling? And the two of you are..related?”
Xavier carefully questioned, choosing his words wisely to make sure he wasn’t walking on thin ice.
“They’re adopted”
The conversation quickly ended there, Enid and Xavier being introduced to their rooms before Wednesday left to do her own thing.
~~
Xavier walked into the library, cautiously looking around him. He wanted to find a place to draw, and libraries always gave the male a sense of peace - so he figured why not check out the library in the Addams’ resident.
Xavier paused at the sound of humming, followed by incoherent muttering. It was quiet, yet he could tell it was nearby. Peeking from behind one of the many book shelves, Xavier found a certain teen sitting at a table placed in a corner of the library.
Their eyebrows were furrowed in frustration as they intensely stared at a paper on the table, muttering to themself. All of a sudden, they slammed their hands on the table and let out a frustrated sigh.
“I can’t figure out what rhythm this is! No matter what I try, it just doesn’t sound right”
The teen raised their voice in frustration, despite being the only person at the table.
Xavier cocked his head to the side in confusion as he watched their frustration grow the more they looked at the paper before them.
A sudden snap right beside Xavier’s ear caused the male to let out a startled yell, tripping over his own feet before falling to the ground. Xavier looked at his feet, seeing a familiar stitched hand crawl onto his leg and wave.
“H-Hey, Thing”
“Who are you?”
Shit…
Xavier remembered that he wasn’t the only one in the library, looking up to see the once frustrated teen staring at him confusingly. Xavier stood up, dusting off his pants as he began to walk towards the table the teen sat at.
“I’m Xavier, Wednesday’s friend. I’m sorry if I bothered you, I just came in here to find a place to draw”
“It’s alright, I was going to leave anyways”
The teen spoke quietly as they hurriedly began to grab their things. Xavier shook his head,
“No, it’s alright. You don’t have to…”
The teen sped past him, causing Xavier to heave out a sigh.
~~
The next week or two was like that. Xavier would try to interact with Wednesday’s sibling, but they would run away every time, barely sparing the male even a simple glance.
“How are you enjoying your stay here?”
Morticia asked calmly, glancing between Xavier and Enid.
“It’s been great! It’s been fun hanging out with Wednesday in her own space”
Enid replied happily with a smile; Xavier nodded in agreement,
“I agree, the stay here has been nice. Thank you for letting us come here”
“Of course! Thank you two for being willing to stay for the break. We didn’t want Wednesday to mope around on her own”
Gomez replied with a smile as he gave Wednesday a side hug.
“I wouldn’t have been moping around on my own. I would’ve had [Y/n]”
Wednesday argued, which earned an amused smile from Morticia.
“Oh, darling. You know how [Y/n] is, they’re in their own world. You would’ve been left moping on your own one way or another”
“Is there any way to talk to [Y/n]?”
Xavier questioned, everyone’s attention shifting onto him. The male stiffened as all eyes were on him.
“L-Like being able to hold a conversation with them..”
The more Xavier spoke, the smaller his voice became in fear that he stepped out of line. Wednesday crossed her arms,
“Bring up Princess and the Frog”
~~
Xavier hummed to himself as he drew a sketch of Ray from The Princess and the Frog, working on the details of the bug’s glow despite the sketch being in black and white.
“Ma Belle Evangeline..”
Xavier heard a whisper behind him, causing him to flinch and turn around. [Y/n] was startled themself from the male’s reaction, the teen taking a step back,
“S-sorry, I just..what you were humming just now, that was Ma Belle Evangeline, right?”
Xavier nodded, attempting to strike a proper conversation.
“Yeah, it was. Do you like Princess and the Frog?”
[Y/n] nodded, a small smile slowly gracing their lips.
“I do, it’s my favorite movie”
Xavier’s eyes slightly widen at the sight of [Y/n]’s smile. They were genuinely passionate about the topic - Xavier could tell from the way their gaze softened yet held excitement.
Xavier expected to score a only small conversion - him doing the talking - but in his opinion, this was much better.
“I’m drawing Ray right now, do you want to watch?”
Xavier asked carefully, seeing what the teen was comfortable with. [Y/n] nodded, taking a seat across from Xavier and watching him do his work.
Being under [Y/n]’s gaze was pressuring, but Xavier preferred this than the teen running away. Without thinking, Xavier began to hum Ma Belle Evangeline again - it was his favorite song from the entire album.
As he hummed the solo in the middle of the song, [Y/n]’s eyes slightly widen as they leaned forward.
“W-wait, do that again! Hum the solo part again”
Xavier was startled from the sudden request, [Y/n]’s whispering, shy nature long gone and replaced with an urgent and shocked [Y/n]. Xavier complied nonetheless, humming the solo of the song from memory. He watched as [Y/n]’s expression shifted into that of realization.
“It’s not a triplet, it’s sixteenth notes with an eight note!”
[Y/n] spoke to themself before turning to Xavier and smiling,
“Thank you!”
[Y/n] stood from their seat and hurried away, leaving a confused Xavier behind.
“Well, at least they weren’t trying to avoid me…”
Xavier mumbled to himself.
~~
Xavier was making his way to his borrowed room, sighing as he ran his hand through his hair. He had just gotten back from practicing archery with Wednesday and Enid, and boy were his arms tired.
It had been a few days since he had last seen [Y/n], since he had his first real conversation with them. Xavier wanted to experience that again, finding [Y/n] intriguing and adorable.
Xavier came to a halt when he heard music - live music. He turned to the direction the music was coming from, pausing when he spotted a door ever so slightly cracked open.
Xavier peeked inside the room, further pushing the door open a tad bit so he could get a better view. Xavier felt his breath halt once he saw [Y/n], holding a trumpet in their hands as they played the solo from Ma Belle Evangeline.
Their breath control was flawless as they played each note and articulation correctly. The teen eventually stopped before fist-pumping the air.
“Yes! I finally got it!”
“That was really good”
Both [Y/n] and Xavier flinched, turning to see Wednesday standing beside Xavier glancing into the room as well - Enid happily standing behind her.
“Thanks, Wednesday”
[Y/n] gave their sibling a small smile before she walked away - Enid tailing behind as she began to talk.
“You really do play beautifully”
Xavier complimented, which earned a shy smile from [Y/n] as they avoided eye contact.
“Thank you, Xavier”
The male was stunned as he blinked in confusion,
“You know my name..?”
“How could I not? You’ve been really nice to me, after all. I’m sorry for constantly avoiding you, I’m just not used to people”
[Y/n] sincerely apologized, a small frown gracing their face. Xavier chuckled, gently placing his hand on top of their head,
“It’s alright, I get that people might not be your forte”
[Y/n] smiled up at Xavier, the two of them beginning to grow closer.
—————————————————————
I was thinking of writing a pt 2 since this fic didn’t really include a romantic relationship between [Y/n] and Xavier. Should I make a pt 2?? Like, where [Y/n] attends Nevermore during the next semester or something??
—————————————————————
Update: Pt 2 is out! Sorry it took so long 😅
