Well, that night's argument hadn't stayed private as you knew it would not, and it had a hilarious consequence.
Usually, the underworld kept its secrets. The family business, money, alliances, they were all kept from outsiders and everyone who was involved in it was advised the same thing; never ever say anything to anyone unless you want to get killed.
That rule however, did not exactly apply to romance or the rumors of it.
So in the following days, almost everyone who was in the business knew about your very loud rejection of Bucky's marriage proposal, and the mere mention of it was enough to shock everyone. Bucky was the golden heir turned boss, he was basically the prince of the city while you two were growing up, and you couldn't think of one occasion where he got rejected. As if trying to show everyone that he couldn't care less about that rejection, he had spent the rest of the week being seen with a different girl at the clubs and taking them home but it still did nothing to stop the chatter.
Which would have been quite entertaining for you, if your father hadn't also heard about it and asked you to visit him at the company.
You huffed out a breath as the elevator doors opened and you stepped out to the hallway before making your way down the hall. You could probably find your way in this skyscraper with your eyes closed, you had spent nearly your whole childhood playing here so you didn't even stop by the receptionist before approaching the glass door, seeing your father behind his desk, with Ian sitting on the couch. You heaved a sigh, then opened the door to step inside.
“Daddy?”
“Y/N sweetheart,” he said and got up to kiss your cheek. “Welcome.”
“Hi,” you said. “Ian.”
“Y/N.”
“Sit down, sit down!” your father said. “Are we keeping you from your plans?”
You shrugged your shoulders as you sat down on the armchair across from his desk.
“Not really,” you said. “Me and Becca and Sarah are all going to this new club tonight, but that's it.”
Ian hummed. “Which one?”
“You're not invited,” you said calmly and Ian shot you a glare, then held up his hands.
“Don't worry, some of us have actual jobs rather than having fun.”
“Enough you two,” your father said. “Y/N my dear, I won't keep you long. I just wanted to ask you about Bucky.”
Your head shot up and you leaned back, trying to keep your expression completely nonchalant.
“About Bucky?”
“Please, everyone is talking about it,” Ian said without lifting his glances off his phone as he typed a text. “Did he really propose?”
“Ian.”
“Uncle, a possible relationship between him and her is more than just romance, you know that.”
“She can hear you,” you said, glaring at him and Ian rolled his eyes.
“Y/N—”
“I said enough,” your father said. “Ian, leave the room.”
You tried to repress the smile on your face as Ian let out a breath, then pushed himself off of the couch to walk out of the office. You gave your father a bright smile but he only shot you a disapproving look.
“Must you two snark at each other all the time?” he asked. “We're family.”
“The fact that he's family is the only reason why I haven't shot him yet,” you deadpanned as your father motioned at his assistant for two coffees, and you crossed your legs.
“So?” he asked. “You and Bucky?”
“There's nothing going on between us.”
“But he proposed?”
You paused for a moment, then cleared your throat.
“Not exactly,” you said. “It was a hypothetical argument really. Bucky is convinced he's quite the catch, I was just bringing him down to the real world.”
“A hypothetical argument.” he repeated and you nodded.
“Mm hm.”
“And you want to keep it hypothetical?”
You raised your brows. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“You two grew up together,” he said with a sigh. “I'll be honest, I'm nowhere near ready to see you get married, but Bucky knows the business, he's powerful enough to protect you—”
“I can protect myself daddy,” you cut him off. “You made sure of it.”
Your father ran a hand over his face and you tilted your head.
“You think it’s a good idea.”
He paused for a moment. “Well, it goes without saying that your opinion matters more here.”
“Well yes because thankfully we’re not in the 18th century anymore,” you commented. “But tell me anyway.”
“Hypothetically speaking, that kind of marriage would prove to be beneficial—”
“To all the psychiatrists in the city.”
“Y/N.”
“Sorry,” you said with a grin as the assistant brought your coffees and you thanked him. “Go on.”
“Would it be without issues?” your father asked. “Of course not.”
“Me making myself a widow could prove to be an issue yeah.”
“It would change the balance in the city, bringing the two families together…” your father trailed off. “Ian has his doubts about it but—”
“Ian doesn’t like it?” you asked with a huff of a laughter. “If you wanted to sell the idea to me, you should’ve led with that daddy.”
“But overall,” your father continued as if you didn’t cut him off again. “He agrees it could be good for the family and the business.”
You clicked your tongue, then reached out to grab your coffee cup.
“I’m not in the business,” you pointed out, bitterness seeping into your voice. “You made sure of that also.”
That made your father hesitate and he heaved a sigh.
“Y/N, sweetheart…”
“Is that all?” you forced yourself to ask and your father smiled slightly.
“Does he love you?” he asked back and you rolled your eyes.
“Not at all,” you said. “Which is a good thing if you ask me. I wouldn’t marry him if he was the last man on earth.”
Your father held up his hands, gesturing surrender.
“If you say so,” he said and you took another sip of your coffee, then put it on the small coffee table and stood up from your chair.
“I’ll see you later?”
“Mm hm,” he said, letting you kiss his cheek. “And Y/N?”
“Yeah?”
“Your bodyguards are coming with you to that club.”
You let out an annoyed groan. “Becca will have her bodyguards already—”
“No,” he said, pointing at you. “We talked about this before, and you have already beene attacked once.”
“The guy is dead though.”
“We still don’t know who he was working for,” your father said. “In any case, it’s not up for discussion.”
You huffed out.
“Fine, fine…” you murmured and walked out of the office to see Ian leaning against the wall, still busy with his phone.
“So?” he said. “Should I go pick a suit for the wedding?”
“Sorry to disappoint,” you said with a fake smile and he let out a dry laugh.
“You know,” he said. “If Barnes actually wants to marry you, he must be more stupid than I thought. Poor guy.”
You clicked your tongue.
“Ian I’d love to stay here and do this, but I actually have a life outside this building, friends who are not on my payroll and such, you know?” You pointed back at the office with your thumb. “But you can go back in now and pretend your opinions matter.”
With that, you walked away from him to the elevator, not even sparing him another glance.
                                                 *
 “The love of Becca’s life” as Becca called her turned out to be a nice girl named Leila whom you decided would be your friend after spending about five minutes with her. Ethan was running late -some last minute issue at the company- but he said he would be there in half an hour, so you figured you could start drinking with Becca and Leila beforehand.
“I mean listen, if you want it go for it but all my friends who got back together with their exes soon remembered why they broke up in the first place,” Leila said as you sucked on the straw of your cocktail, then shook your head.
“We barely count as exes, and it wasn’t a bad break up,” you said. “And it was back at college, everyone is an idiot in college times.”
“I know I was,” Becca said and Leila grinned.
“Me too,” she said as her phone beeped, and she checked it, then raised her brows and held up the phone at Becca.
“Aw, she’s not coming.”
You tilted your head. “Who?”
“My friend,” Leila said. “That’s a shame, she was very excited.”
“To come to the club?”
“That and to possibly see her brother,” Leila pointed at Becca with an apologetic smile and Becca made a face.
“Ew!”
“What’s going on?” you asked and Leila shrugged her shoulders.
“She and Becca’s brother had a thing like three years ago apparently?” she said. “I’d say small city but it’s not, it’s weird.”
“Kind of the same circle but not really,” Becca said and you scrunched up your nose.
“Ah.”
“I mean you should have heard the way she was talking about him,” Leila said with a laugh. “I’d tell you but Becca needs to cover her ears.”
“I do not want to be traumatized thank you,” Becca said. “I already go to therapy once a week—Sarah!”
Someone pressed a kiss on your cheek and you turned to smile brightly at Sarah, then hugged her sideways when she sat next to you.
“You’re here!”
“Only because I promised you,” she said. “I’ll have one drink and go home.”
“I still take that as a win—Sarah, this is Leila,” you introduced them. “Leila, this is Sarah, our best friend.”
“Whom we can barely see because she’s literally saving lives,” Becca said with a proud smile and Sarah waved a hand in the air.
“Don’t. It’s very nice to meet you,” she told Leila, then turned to me. “What is this I hear about Bucky proposing to you? Are you two actually getting married?”
Leila’s eyes widened.
“Oh shit,” she said. “I’m so sorry Y/N, if I knew about you and him, I wouldn’t bring up my friend and him having…a thing earlier.”
“What? No!” you said in a rush. “It’s totally fine.”
“Is it?”
“Your friend could be here and the only thing I’d ask her is if Bucky put a mirror between them in bed so that he could fulfill his lifelong dream of—”
“Y/N!”
“It’s a valid theory that I have, and I’m genuinely curious!” you defended yourself as Leila started laughing.
“Oh God…” she said. “I apologize either way.”
“You really shouldn’t—your friend slept with him, who hasn’t?” you asked while Sarah motioned for the waitress, then ordered her drink. “I mean not me I have principles, but you get what I mean.”
“But he asked you to marry him?” Leila asked and you shrugged your shoulders.
“Ours would be a unity of minds,” you said solemnly while Becca played with her hair.
“Unity of two braincells, more like it.”
“And we’re not together,” you added and Leila stole a glance at Becca as if she was confused, and Becca mouthed ‘later’ while you tilted your head at Sarah.
“Who did you hear it from by the way?”
“Sam told me,” she said as the waitress brought her a drink. “He’s also very entertained by that whole thing.”
“We all are,” Becca said and your phone vibrated in your hand, Ethan’s name flashing across the screen. You looked around, then stood up.
“I’ll be right back,” you said and made your way down the stairs, then passed the dance floor and stepped outside with your bodyguards following you.
“Y/N!” you heard Ethan’s voice and you turned your head, then smiled at him as the bouncer immediately stepped aside.
“Miss Y/N, he didn’t tell us he was your friend.”
“Oh no worries,” you said as Ethan approached you.
“Hey,” he said, kissing your cheek. “You look amazing.”
“Aw thank you, so do you!” you said, then grabbed his wrist to pull him along as you walked back into the club.
“They’re not letting anyone in,” Ethan told you, making you shoot him a small smile.
“Just give my name the next time and they’ll let you pass,” you told him and he let out a whistle.
“Just how far does your reach go?”
“Very far,” you said with a wink, then led him up the stairs before walking into the VIP room. You quickly introduced Ian to the girls, and took your seat, Ethan sitting right next to you.
“You were my doctor!” Ethan told Sarah. “The uh…the other night.”
“I was,” Sarah said. “Feeling better I hope?”
“Much better,” Ethan said and ordered a beer to the waitress by the door. “Thank you again by the way.”
“Not a problem,” Sarah said and Becca smiled at him.
“So Ethan,” she said. “I’ve heard so much about you. Y/N says you’re a data analyst?”
“I am,” Ethan nodded. “I just moved to the city, and Y/N has been nice enough to show me around.”
“Do you like it here so far?”
“People are exceptionally rude,” he answered with a grin. “My neighbor looked at me like I’d grown two heads when I greeted him the other day.”
“I don’t think I know any of my neighbors,” Leila mused and before you could comment on it, a familiar voice reached inside the room.
“No Sam but I’m just saying—” Bucky stopped by the entrance the moment he caught the sight of you and he raised his brows.
“Hey,” he said after a beat, his lips curling into a smirk. “Mind if we join you?”
“Jesus…” Becca heaved a sigh and turned to Leila. “Do you wanna dance?”
“Sure!”
“Great, let’s go,” she said as she stood up and left the room with Leila following her. Sam and Bucky entered the room, a girl following Bucky right behind him, and you could see they were holding hands. You tried not to roll your eyes and smiled at Sam instead.
“Hey there.”
“It’s been a while,” he said as he squeezed at your shoulder, then sat next to Sarah. Bucky took a seat, and the girl sat right next to him, still not letting go of his hand.
“Look at that, you’re here too,” Bucky told Ethan. “Let’s hope tonight ends better for you than your other date huh?”
You held onto Ethan’s arm, leaning your head on his shoulder without saying anything and Bucky’s jaw clenched.
“Fingers crossed for that,” Ethan said. “But in any case, my awesome doctor is here so I’m prepared if it doesn’t.”
Sarah chuckled and Bucky leaned back on the couch.
“Sam, this is Emmett—”
“Ethan,” you and Ethan corrected him at the same time and Bucky’s smile widened.
“My bad,” he said. “He’s Y/N’s… friend.”
“Nice to meet you,” Ethan told Sam while you played with the straw in your cocktail, keeping your glances on the girl.
“And you are?”
“Allison,” she said and you exchanged glances with Sarah who shook her head at you as if telling you not to do what you were about to, but you turned to Allison.
“It’s nice to meet you,” you said. “Excuse my manners, it’s just that we don’t often see Bucky spending time with women vertically, so it took me a minute to shake off the shock.”
Bucky narrowed his eyes at you while Sam pursed his lips, trying to keep a straight face.
“But look at you Buck!” you told him. “You’re improving yourself.”
“At least one of us is,” Bucky stated, making you glare at him. Sam cleared his throat, shifting his weight.
“Ethan just moved to the city,” Sarah said in an attempt to change the subject and Ethan nodded fervently.
“Yeah it’s been less than a month, I’m pretty new here.”
“And he says people are rude, including his neighbors,” Sarah said and Sam chuckled.
“Let me guess, you grew up in a small town?”
“That obvious?” Ethan asked while you and Bucky glared at each other, neither of you averting your glances. Allison frowned slightly.
“Is everything okay?”  
“Great.”
“Peachy.” Both you and Bucky said at the same time and the waitress walked inside with drinks. Bucky took his glass of whiskey, then took a sip while Ethan sat up straighter.
“I’m just saying, where I grew up, people liked helping others and making friends.”
“You grew up in Narnia?”
“Okay I know how it sounds,” Ethan said with a laugh. “But I mean I guess it’s what I’m used to. I want to go back eventually but…”
“Yeah?” Bucky asked, grinning. “Look at that Charm. He wants to move back to a small town.”
 “It’s a future plan, after decades probably,” Ethan added in a rush. “It’s just so peaceful there—”
“And Charm loves peaceful,” Bucky said. “She eventually wants to just leave this all behind and go live in a cute cottage or something, away from the family business.”
You gritted your teeth, putting your cocktail glass down and Ethan looked between you two while Sarah ran a hand over her face.
“You’d fit right in too,” Bucky told you. “I hear people in small towns never let anything go and can hold grudges for years.”
 “You on the other hand wouldn’t fit in at all,” you shot back. “Ethan says people are nice there so I doubt they tolerate anyone who’s an arrogant asshole.”
“There it is,” Sam murmured. “They lasted longer than I thought.”
Ethan blinked a couple of times. “Uh, how about we all just calm down—”
��They won’t,” Sarah said helpfully and Sam heaved a sigh.
“I knew I should’ve left with Steve.”
 “You really can’t wrap your mind around the fact that people can change, can you?” Bucky asked as you leaned forward, glaring daggers at him.
“Oh I can wrap my mind around that just fine; people can change, you however—” you started but your phone started vibrating on the table so you grabbed it, seeing your father’s caller ID flash across the screen.
“I’ll be back,” you said and pushed yourself off the couch, then made your way out of the club, your bodyguards following you. You took a couple of steps away from the building so that the music wouldn’t be as loud, then answered the phone.
“Daddy?”
“Y/N sweetheart,” he said. “You didn’t text me when you got there.”
“Oh I forgot!” you said, leaning back against the wall. “Sorry.”
“It’s alright,” he said. “You and Becca are having fun?”
“Mm hm,” you said. “At least I was until Bucky showed up.”
“Bucky is there too?” he asked. “That’s good.”
You rolled your eyes. “Daddy…”
The amusement in his voice was clear; “I’m just saying.”
“I’m going to hang up now,” you told him and he chuckled.
“Be very careful alright? And don’t stay until the dawn.”
“We’ll see about that, love you!” you said and hung up before he could argue. You pushed yourself off the wall but as soon as you turned, your eyes fell on Bucky and you let out a groan.
“Jesus Christ, what is it this time?” you asked. “Let me guess, have my babies or something?”
Bucky shot you an almost reprimanding look.
“If you insist,” he said, making you scoff before you saw his driver stopping the car in front of you both and he opened the door for him.
“You’re leaving?” you asked and Bucky’s head shot up, a look of surprise crossing his handsome features.
“Did you—me and Sam are meeting Steve, something came up but do you want to come with?”
“Absolutely not,” you said quickly. “It was just a question.”
Bucky paused for a moment and cleared his throat.
“So now that you got your revenge, are you happy?”
“My revenge?”
“Yeah,” Bucky said. “What, I broke your heart almost ten years ago—”
“That’s kind of an exaggeration.”
“And now everyone knows you turned my proposal down.”
“Also kind of an exaggeration to call that nonsense a proposal,” you pointed out and he held up his hands, mocking surrender.
“So when will you get rid of him?” he asked and you pulled your brows together.
“Ethan?” you asked. “What makes you think I want to?”
Bucky’s lips curled into a smile.
“Because he will bore you,” he said. “And as much as you like to think otherwise, you don’t do boredom.”
“Oh right, because you know so much about me,” you stated, sarcasm laced in your tone. “Sure.”
Bucky’s piercing blue eyes held your gaze for a moment, making your heart skip a beat before he took a deep breath, as if trying to pull himself together.
“Let me know when you’re done with the whole poems and roses bullshit and want actual power,” he told you as he walked to his car. “Ready when you are, Charm.”  
The driver closed his door and you glared at the car as it drove away, then rolled your shoulders back.
“In your dreams buddy,” you grumbled to yourself, then flipped the phone in your hand and made your way back into the club.

Home for the Holidays With You
Pairing: Tech x (gn) Reader
W/C: 2,335
Rating: E for Everyone. This is family (and Costco) friendly.
Warnings: Excessive fluff, Tech being a sweetheart taking ‘acts of service’ to an extreme, reader is dealing with homesickness at the holidays.
A/N: I wrote this as a secret Santa gift for @freesia-writes and her love of Tech inspired probably my fluffiest writing yet. Like, this is maximum fluff, guys. A little bit of whump, especially if you can relate to being homesick, but there is so much comfort here to offset it.
Just one note, I did change this to a GN Reader for tumblr. OG had she/her pronouns.
Dividers by @stars-n-spice :)
Tumblr media
Omega’s excitement was like a sparkler. Small, bright bursts that one couldn’t resist smiling at.
Wrecker’s was closer to an explosion, as most things regarding his brother usually were: loud, bombastic, usually too much so to be contagious.
But your excitement was like a cup of caf, perfectly prepared and consumed at the optimal temperature. It was a warmth that seeped deep into his body and settled there, much as you already had in his heart.
He indulged in your presence whenever he could when you were like this. And the approaching holiday season seemed to bring out this flavor of excitement with consistency.
So, he’d chosen to spend his free time preparing with you — decorating to the soothing sounds of holiday music, shopping for and wrapping gifts (and pretending rather convincingly that he wasn’t curious about his own gifts you’d carefully hidden from him).
Tech researched the history of the holiday symbols, décor and music and shared them with you while you worked. You, in turn, regaled him with personal anecdotes of the same things, the two of you trading information as he, Wrecker, and Omega carefully followed your instructions to turn both the Batch’s home and your own into holiday wonderlands.
He blamed your warm excitement. Though even to himself, the word “blame” resonated with playful affection.
“I can’t wait to open these,” Omega chirped as she put the last of the gifts in the area you designated.
“Only one more week!” Your smile belied your pointed tone as you looked directly at Omega and Wrecker as the pair eyed the impressive pile. At least one of them had the decency to appear sheepish, and Tech was unsurprised that it was not his brother.
“I believe there’s more to Life Day than merely presents.”
“Exactly. Thank you, Tech,” you said, gifting him a smile and light touch on his shoulder as you passed by him to put away the last of the brightly colored wrapping flimsy.
“More?” Wrecker asked, excitement and confusion mixing in his tone and expression.
“Lots more,” you confirmed. “You open presents in the morning, sure. But then you get to spend the whole day with the people you care about most. Every family is different, but in mine, we play games, watch holos, and cook holiday treats together. And at the end of the day, you get to eat all that delicious food.”
“Oh! Now that does sound good! What kinda holiday treats d’ya make?”
While you regaled the others with rather detailed descriptions of your favorite holiday foods, Tech took a seat in the living room, pulling his data pad from his utility belt to once again struggle in finding a gift suitable for you.
None of the options so far had been acceptable. Most felt far too impersonal and underwhelming. Any that carried the intimacy he hoped to convey did not seem to suit your preferences as far as he knew them. And since he’d catalogued them, he’d say he knew them fairly well.
Tech knew if he voiced his frustrations to you, you’d laugh them off and tell him not to worry; that you’d love anything that came from him. And you would. Your ability to see past any errors on his part to see his intention underneath was one of the may things he loved about you.
But in this instance, that wasn’t enough. He wanted this gift to be perfect. As perfect as you made him feel. He could not — no, would not stand for his gift to be the only lackluster part of your holiday celebrations.
He was running out of time, however, and was beginning to grow rather anxious at the thought of not finding something in time.
Tech’s focus only lasted a few more moments, however, before his concentration was broken by Omega’s excited squeal.
“Those all sound amazing! And we get to try them!?”
“Oh, uh, not quite.” Your verbal stalling pulled Tech fully back into the conversation happening before him. “I’ve planned a few seasonal-to-Pabu snacks and a nice roast for dinner, but we don’t have access to a lot of the ingredients from my home planet. So we’ll make do with a Corellia-inspired, Pabu-provided holiday feast.”
The others continued the spirited conversation, but Tech was quick to notice a heaviness to you. It didn’t dim your smile or sharpen your words, but he could feel it all the same.
As the evening grew darker and slipped into night, Tech suggested Wrecker take Omega home. His thinly veiled excuse to be alone with you wasn’t questioned by anyone, least of all a tired Omega who yawned through her departure.
Once the silence had settled, you came to sit with him on the couch. He quickly turned off his data pad — not that I’ve found anything worth hiding yet, he thought bitterly — and you melted into his side, not quite cuddling but just letting yourself rest against him.
It was a position you had taken to, and he appreciated the concession that allowed him to keep his arms free while still remaining close to you. Tonight, however, he put his pad down and wrapped an arm around your shoulders, surrounding you with him.
“Now that the others are gone, will you tell me what inspired the melancholic air?”
The tilt of your head to press further into him pleased and concerned him in equal measure.
“Just … realizing what I’m missing, I guess. I mean, I knew when I enlisted in the GAR that I’d be away from home for the holidays. But I could always call, you know? Now that were on the run …”
The silence of your dropped sentence carried for a beat. Tech shifted so he could better see your face while you still rested on his torso.
“Now that we must conceal ourselves from the Empire, it’s too big a risk,” he finished for you.
“Yeah,” you sighed. “And it’s not like I didn’t know that before. We’ve been running for a while and next week is no different. Meg’s comment just made reality hit home.”
“That is understandable.” Tech paused, considering where to go from here. The most obvious solutions — visiting home, calling family, etc. — were all off the table. But leaving you as you were, clearly distressed and upset, was unacceptable. “What can I do?”
Your smile, though small, was genuine as you shook your head against his chest. “You’re sweet.”
“I am merely trying to resolve your current problem.”
“Yes, and that makes you very sweet,” you insisted. And frankly, with you tucked into his side like you were, he felt little of his usual compulsion to press his point. Still, for the rest of the evening, he struggled to himself with how to resolve your homesickness and prevent it from further tainting your beautiful spirit.
Tumblr media
He had his list. He reviewed it multiple times to ensure he had not forgotten a single detail. And despite being certain he hadn’t, he still felt unnecessary adrenaline coursing through his body.
“Right! That’s the last of it!” Wrecker announced as he took the final side dish out of the oven. The small space was laden with delicacies, the recipes for which Tech ensured Wrecker and Omega had followed to the letter.
It all looked perfect to him. But — just this once — Tech would concede that his opinion did not matter. Only you could say whether he was successful or not.
The door to the Batch’s Pabu home opened, and Tech heard your voice carry from the entrance to the kitchen. “Hello?”
You were early. Kark.
Evidently, his anxiety was visible, as Wrecker laughed at him before Hunter stepped over to push him out of the kitchen. “Go. We got the rest.”
With little opportunity to do otherwise, Tech obliged. “Thank you. All of you,” he said, looking at his siblings in turn, trying to infuse his voice with sincerity before closing the door to the kitchen behind him as silently as possible.
“Hello, darling. Happy Life Day Eve.”
“Happy Life Day Eve.” You give him a quick kiss before looking around the empty living room. “Where is everyone?”
“They are finishing up some final preparations.”
Confusion colored your face. Understandable, considering you had been the leader of holiday prep … at least as far as you knew. But that was the entire point of a surprise, he supposed.
“Don’t worry, I’ve been supervising. We have a surprise for you.” Tech took your hand in his, giving it a small squeeze before leading you through the house to his room.
You give a small laugh, and he felt the knot in his stomach begin to loosen.
“Shouldn’t presents be saved for tomorrow?” You tease.
“I believe you’ll prefer enjoying this one tonight.”
Opening the door to his room, Tech led you inside to reveal a rather large — and if he permits, rather impressive — new comm station.
He watches your face closely as your eyebrows lift as you take in the sight.
“Wow, Tech! That’s really impressive! Did you build this yourself?”
“Naturally. However,” Tech pulled you further into the room to stand directly in front of the comm, “You cannot ascertain what’s special about this particular comm station by simply observing.”
“Oh?” Your crooked smile as you played along with him was possibly one of the most endearing expressions, and it reminded him to turn on his recording device. “Then please enlighten me. What is so special about it that it my surprise Life Day present?”
Instead of answering, Tech reclaims his hand to type in the frequency he’s come to memorize. He paused, looking up to you and smiling briefly before pressing the call button. “It’s encrypted.”
You tilted your head, eyes furrowed as you tried to make the connection. But before you could, a woman’s voice filtered through the comm.
“Hello? Tech? Can you hear me? Are they there yet?”
Instantly, Tech saw a multitude of emotions fly across your face faster than he could catalogue them as a tear slid down the sweet curve of your cheek. 
Most fortunate, then, that I remembered to begin recording.
Your voice cracked as you answered softly, “Mama?”
“Hi, honey! Oh, stars, it’s so good to hear your voice. Hold on, your father’s coming, too.”
Resting a hand lightly on your shoulder, Tech pressed a kiss to your cheek and whispered, “Take your time and come outside when you’re done.”
Your eyes were bright and wide, and Tech knew he could never catalogue the multitude or depth of your emotions in that moment. But what he did know was that look of melancholy had been well and truly banished. And that was all he needed.
Tumblr media
Two hours later, you emerged with a wide smile painted on your face, despite the slight redness around your eyes.
“Tech,” you called softly, reaching out to take hold of him. He let you, falling into your embrace happily. “Thank you.”
“I am glad my plan was successful.”
“It really was.” You tightened your arms around him, and it was only slightly unpleasant. But Tech would have given you a pass even if you had Wrecker’s strength in this moment. “My brilliant genius. You have no idea what that meant to me.”
“Hm, I shall refrain from arguing for now. But that was only the first stage. Are you ready for stage two?”
Tech can feel his shirt dampen as tears soak the fabric even as you laugh.
“Part two? I don’t know. I can’t imagine topping part one.”
Keeping his arm around you, Tech turned you both to lead you to the kitchen, opening the door to reveal the rest of the Batch. In the time it took you to complete your call, his brothers and sister had plated and displayed the wide array of Corellian holiday dishes.
Admittedly, the smell was heavenly. Tech understood why the absence of this spread would be lamentable.
“What in the …” Your head swiveled between members of the Batch, mouth open in soundless surprise before Omega bounded forward, pointing to each dish and telling you how they followed your family’s instructions exactly. It was clear she was eager to hear your approval, perhaps more so than he had been.
“You and Wrecker made all of this?” You asked the young girl, pulling her into a hug when she finished.
“Yup! But it was all Tech’s idea! He got the comm station built and got the recipes from your family, told Phee and Echo where to get everything we didn’t have on Pabu, and he had Hunter distracting you all week so you wouldn’t notice anything!”
Your eyes narrowed at the Sergeant, earning a laugh from Echo. “So that’s why we’ve been re-cataloguing everything in the museum?”
“Sorry. It was the only thing I could think of that you’d believe,” Hunter said, hands raised in front of him as if to ward off your playful irritation.
“What do you think?” Tech asked, touching a hand lightly to your lower back to pull your attention to him. “Does part two satisfy?”
You bark a laugh before pressing into his side once again, sneaking your arm under his so it wraps around his waist, leaving no room between you before burying your head into his shoulder.
“This was… this…” He felt your deep, steadying breath and tightens his hold on you as he waits for you to collect your thoughts. “Yes, Tech. It beyond satisfies. I have never felt so loved.”
He reached forward, lifting your face to his so he can see your eyes. “But you are, darling. You are so very loved.”
And for a brief moment, Tech lost track of time. The shine of your eyes, fueled by love, awe, and just a few unshed tears, was all he needed. If this were the “meaning of the holidays,” then Tech finally understood why so many lifeforms craved the holiday season so.
“So, uh, can we eat? Or d’ya wanna keep starin’ at each other?”
Uncouth as ever, Wrecker’s question pulled you away from Tech with a laugh, though you never let go of his hand. “Yeah, let’s eat.”

Captain Levi One Shot
Tumblr media
A/N : Takes place like 10 years before the AOT universe, please don’t fact check my shit I know some of it doesn’t line up with cannon lmao. In this Petra is not yet a part of squad Levi.
I’m thinking about doing a series of one shots for this version of Levi x reader but would love some feedback!
26f reader x 29m captain Levi
content warning: alcohol , hangover vomiting (so sorry), blood, minor injuries, masturbation (both f and m)
You had worked so damn hard. You had worked so hard for almost 10 years to get where you are.
Graduating as a part of the 95th corps of cadets, (#3 in your class none the less), you took on the challenge joining the scouts. You took on the challenge of knowing your best friends, your adopted family, would die. You could’ve had a cushy life as an MP and never lay an eye on a titan but no, you just had to be brave.
10 years is a long time to last as a scout. Only a few have lasted longer and you’re wondering when it’ll be your turn. You’re nearly 26 at this point, are you going to have to slow down?
Your superiors decided to throw you a party for hitting the 10 year mark. A get together at a pub in town that closed for an evening to be private for all scouts and military that wanted to come. The ones left of your cadet class came, plus most of the scouts since you were a friendly face and a great mentor.
Hange and Petra were two of your closest friends, they made you a cake! Everyone else was buying you drinks and having a great time. You made your rounds to thank everyone for coming and say hi.
You go up to the table in the corner last, being the most intimidating of the group. Captain Erwin, and a few from his troop were seated including Miche, Gunther, Tomas, Eld, and Dieter. Oh, and the dark storm cloud in the corner, Levi. Captain Levi.
Something about that man, you can’t tell if it pissed you off or if you were attracted to his stormy look. He has only been in the scouts for a few years but, he has far surpassed everyone to earn the title of Captain and earn the special operations squad. He didn’t have a ton of respect as a leader, considering his past which always came about in hushed whispers and stolen glances.
“Ah Miss L/N!” Erwin booms as he watches you approach the table “the celebrity of the evening has graced us with her presence!” Yeah, he’s definitely had a few drinks. You give most of the table a hug before Erwin booms “Excuse me,,, Excuse Me! Yeah I’d like to make a toast to celebrate one amazing scout, y/n l/n”
He turns you around to face everyone in the pub and you catch Levi’s eye for a second, letting a soft smile show. Your drinks and shots everyone had been buying you are catching up and you catch yourself blushing at Levi’s lingering eyes on you. If only you knew why.
As Erwin goes on a great toast speech about how much you’ve grown in 10 years, how great you are, etc. you can’t help but feel immense pride, something you’re not used to as a rather insecure person. Then your attention gets roped back in as Erwin places his hands on your shoulders give you a little shake like a proud dad.
“So to finish my toast, I want to congratulate miss l/n on becoming the newest member of the special operations squad under captain Levi.”
Your jaw drops as the pub errupts in loud cheers turning around to give Erwin a huge hug, since he is the highest rank here commander shadis must have trusted him with this information.
The raven haired stoic man stands up from his seat and comes closer to you and gives you a crisp salute which you mirror back. Probably not as crisp with the way you feel a little wavy. He then sticks his hand out for a handshake as you grab ahold he speaks, “welcome to the team kid.”
You smile at him “Thank you sir! The pleasure is mine!” He’s going to teach you to be less formal with him eventually but appreciates your response for the time being.
You are both surprised at your impulsive decision of deciding to wrap your arms around his neck, giving him an enthusiastic hug. You swear you feel his chest let out a chuckle but hear him grunt, “tch, get off”. You pull away ready to apologize but see a little smirk on his face as he sits back down. All of Erwin’s table saw the encounter and chose to avoid eye contact. As you giddy-ly ran over to Hange and Petra to celebrate.
The rest of the night consisted of singing, dancing, drink-offs with some of the men, and if you weren’t crazy you could’ve sworn Levi was keeping a close eye on you.
Once closing time hits you and some of the scouts you were close with stumbled back to your base. Levi, Erwin, and Miche suspiciously decided to leave just as you were. Following not too closely behind you.
As you get back to your room and ready for bed you stumble a little as you put on your pajamas of a tshirt, no bra, and booty shorts. You’re humming to yourself as you put the uniform from today aside to wash and about to crawl in your bed that looks soooo comfy when
*knock knock knock* gently taps on your door
Assuming it is Petra or Hange drunk you giggle walking up to the door. You swing open the old wood, creaking to your surprise is your new captain.
“Soldier. Sorry for stopping uh unannounced. I wanted to give you this since you looked like you had fun tonight. Integration starts tomorrow at 8 AM.”
You form a salute, right hand over your breast as your dainty nipples show through your white tshirt. He pretends not to notice, suppressing the urge to look at your body he has never seen outside of uniform.
“Thank you captain. I hope you sleep well. Goodnight,” your voice sounds like silk although raspy from singing and yelling all night. Nobody has ever wished him a good nights sleep and he is a little dumbfounded. “Goodnight l/n” he whispers as you gently shut the door on him.
He brought you fruit and some water in a nice basket, surely that will help with your hangover that you’ll have to figure out by 8 am. You think of all the things people whisper about Captain Levi, how he’s a heartless monster, incapable of feelings, barely human. You can’t believe them and decide to put your utmost respect into your captain, wondering how he put together something special like this in such a short notice.
The next morning you are awake at the break of daylight, about 7 am. This gives you an hour to get cleaned up eat and get to the training grounds, but god do you feel like shit. As you’re about to get in the shower you feel your stomach bubbling and make it just in time to the bucket to throw up. Well throwing up sucks, but at least you feel a tiny bit better. You get a rather quick shower and throw your hair into a low bun with some pieces sticking out and put on your uniform. Eating an apple and drinking water that Levi brought you in the early hours of the morning. You decide ultimately that this is your fault for drinking too much, and hope since it is the first day of integration Levi would take it easy on you.
Oh, how you were so wrong.
“L/n, you look like shit.” Your captain spits harshly.
“My apologies captain.” You say not looking him directly in the eyes with your hand over chest in salute.
“10 laps around the field to get started.” Oh god you have to run while hungover, but you can’t tell him no. Maybe this is some type of test to him? He knows how much you drank last night because he was keeping a watchful eye on his new team member. You begin running as Miche and Levi chat, quietly enough you can’t hear them over the pounding in your head.
Just as you hit the sixth lap you feel a bubbling in your tummy again. Oh no, not in front of him. Before you can even try to hide it, you’re doubled over throwing up the rest of the contents in your stomach.
And then, silence. No Miche and Levi chatting, no background noise from the base, just silence. This has to be a test. He wants to see if you’ll keep going or give up on the very first exercise. You use the backside of your jacket sleeve to wipe your face and begin the 6th lap. You’re half done, just push through.
As someone who typically doesn’t struggle too much with running you are shocked at your inability to hold yourself to a high standard this morning. You nearly collapsed as you finished the 10th lap. Bent over with your hands on your knees you wait for Captain Levi to address you.
“Next you’ll be timed on your ODM gear maneuvering through the dummies.” Your face goes pale at the thought of flying through the air right now, but you don’t have a choice. “Yes sir” you respond breathlessly standing up fully again.
You don’t notice the goosebumps that appear on Levi’s skin when you call him Sir or Captain, and he tries to ignore them. Watching as you strap on your ODM gear as you struggle with a particular thigh strap, he sulks over, looking down at your gear. Your big eyes look back up at him, still fumbling your fingers at the same time.
“Here,” he takes over where your hands were, grasping the leather straps tightly and fastening it together so that it squeezes your nice thighs just enough.
“You look like shit,” he says lowly, finally making eye contact with you.
“I’m so sorry sir, is there something wrong with my uniform? How can I fix it?” You ask like a good subordinate.
“Don’t drink the night before training.” He says turning around not looking at you anymore.
You scoff in disbelief at his words, and he waits for your next move.
“My apologies again Captain, but I was not aware of my promotion until last night and not aware of this training until I was already home from the pub. I think it’s rather unfair to-” you’re cut off by the lightning quick movements of the captain who is now gripping your collar of your uniform jacket, almost lifting you off your seat.
“Rule number one - don’t talk back to me” he growls inches from your face.
“Rule number two - always be prepared as a part of squad Levi. We are the special operations squad for a reason, we could leave at a moments notice.”
“Rule number three - you must always look and act your best for training.”
All the while he spoke down to you staring into your eyes. You didn’t dare looking away from the steel gray eyes boring into yours. “Yes sir” you squeak out. He drops your shirt collar, brushing off the wrinkles he just created. And your ass collided back down with the bench you were sitting on. He begins to walk away with a “I’ll be waiting” as he heads towards the wooded area of the training grounds.
You’re trying to wrap your head around what just happened and how your superior talked to you like that when most of this was out of your control completely.
It was then you realized this morning was all one big test. To see how much you needed to be broken down in order for him to build you back up and form you into one of his soldiers.
But you didn’t ask for this promotion, you didn’t receive a warning, you didn’t even get to say bye to your old squad leader.
You try your best to hold your head high, cleaning your blades as you walk in the directly Levi walked a minute ago. Trying to push down all of the demons punishing you for your actions from last night. Mentally you need to get with it if you’re going to prove yourself to Levi this morning that you’re fit to be a part of his squad. You don’t think he’s ever watched you before, at least not in battle, per your knowledge. The last thing you need is him thinking you are a weak link in his group.
You finally approach him at the beginning of the course, trying to maintain cool headedness and confidence. After all you’ve done this course thousands of times over 10 years in the scouts. I mean, they change it sometimes but not by a whole lot.
Not even looking over at you Captain Levi says “I’ll start the stopwatch when you start going. Miche is on the other side to signal a flare once you make it to the end.”
You nod to your self, stretching your back and neck a little before you go. You bound off the ground propelling with as much speed as you can. Your technique is a little different from most, whereas you don’t necessarily have as much speed as you do strength. Your cuts are so deep and clean on the nape of the titan that you are sure fire a kill if you can just get there. You move easily from side to side due to your core strength and kind of look like a mix of a ballerina and a ninja on your good days. Your technique is just weird enough they don’t let you help teach the new recruits.
Flying, adjusting to the new dummies that pop up, it actually feels pretty nice and comforting to help your hangover. You finish the course with ease but your ODM gear fails to hook on one side as you hit the last row of trees. You’re thrown off balance and end up hitting the tree Miche was leaning on with a thud. Luckily, as soon as you made contact Miche shot the flare so you would get a better time, but you lay on the ground groaning. A little blood dripping out of your eyebrow and nose, and cuts on the arms of your uniform.
Levi had already begun swinging to where the ending point was but began speeding up after he ended the timer. He landed on his feet so elegantly and precise, making Miche laugh. Neither of the men helped you up for a minute as you laid there with your hand over your face, red from embarrassment but reminding you that you may throw up again or pass out at any moment.
“3 minutes 9 seconds. Not bad for…your current condition” he says leaning down to look at your face. “You’ll be doing this again when you’re through with your hangover, and I expect it to be spotless. With a much better landing.”
“Yes captain,” you groan. Not being able to hold yourself together much at this point. He grabs a cloth out of his pocket and hands it to you. You do your best to clean the eyebrow and whatever nose wound you have, it may very well be broken.
“Up next is hand to hand combat. Since you are already torn up, I’ll let you chose who you fight against rather than myself, but it has to be someone from the squad.”
The rest of the team was finishing up breakfast walking out to the grounds that hand to hand combat training usually takes place. You were supposed to meet the team and then get your ass handed to you by Levi, but I guess he’s feeling nice watching you try to twist your nose back to its original place. As you finally stand up off the hard ground you stumble a few steps before bending over to throw up one last time. Levi happened to catch you off balance and patted your back while you dry heaved a little.
Levi, the clean freak, comforting you? After you just fucked up your integration training? You brush it off and size up your potential opponents as you want over. You then realize, you’re the first woman to be a part of squad Levi . Is that why the captain is making you do all this? A sexist power move to make you feel inferior to the rest?
The squad is chatting as the three of you walk up to them and fall silent, all eyes on you. Levi brushes past you “everyone this is y/n l/n, she will be joining the special operations squad effective immediately. Right now she is sizing all of you up to see who she can handle in hand to hand combat.” You do your best to remain confident and not shy away as all the well accomplished men look over to you.
“Captain Levi” you pipe up with less courage than you thought you had.
“Yes?” He raises an eyebrow at you.
“I want to go against you, Captain.”
The whole crowd of men goes silent, they think you have a death wish or maybe you already hit your head too hard given the dried blood already on your face.
“Fair enough l/n, I’ll give you a few minutes to get ready.” He takes off his uniform cape and jacket and set it neatly down next to where all the men are standing. You are busy unstrapping your ODM gear, moving to the side so you can set it down gently. You sign when you take all of it off, feeling 15 pounds lighter. You following Levi’s suit, you take off your uniform jacket as well.
This leaves both of you in your white button up shirts. You size Levi up and down, trying to determine when his weak spots are. You see the way his biceps move under the tight shirt as he undoes his cravat. The men of squad Levi are still just men, most of them looking at the way some of the buttons on the chest of your shirt are a little too snug so to your growing tits. You note to yourself to get the next size up shirt when you feel this happen.
You and Levi both walk to the center of the training grounds with most of squad Levi surrounding and a few others that happened to be walking around on this crisp Saturday morning. Levi gets settled in a fighting stance and you follow as he does. “Begin” he says in his low emotionless voice. You step closer to him to begin throwing attacks towards his upper body, most getting blocked but an attempt to elbow his side proved efficient. He throws a series of hits towards you and you manage to dodge a few of them, but are struggling to breathe after a solid punch to the stomach. You think this is a pretty fair match up until he says “tch is that all you have? I’m getting bored.” He speeds up his hit combos, giving you less time in between to recover as you do your best to land a kick on him. His reaction time is way better than yours, grabbing your right ankle and flipping you through the air to have you fall onto your back. You see stars as your head collides with the ground. He has not rendered you out yet, grabbing your arm and twisting it go go behind your back, using the fake little dagger they use for training and press it to your neck. Luckily, you both were facing away from the crowd of people.
“You really thought you could take me? I even gave you the option to fight someone else and you were so cocky you thought you could beat me? Tch, your form and performance today disgusts me. Dismissed.”
Levi stands up and walks back towards the barracks by himself, not talking with anyone and rather pissy it seems. The men left there disperse as you lay on your back trying to fight back tears, your hands covering your face. As soon as the coast is clear Hange and Petra run to your side. “We were watching from the building to see what would happen… I’m so sorry y/n”
So embarrassed, the only reaction you have is to grunt as they help you stand and help you back over to where your room is.
You collapse as they help you get into your room, exhausted and defeated.
“Y/n… do you wanna talk about it?” Petra asks softly playing with your dirt filled hair, head hanging in your hands as your slouched up against your desk.
“Please, I love you guys just I need to be alone,” you say back to them, and without looking up you hear them shuffle out and close the door.
You sit there with your head racing, trying to figure out where you went wrong. Yes, you were drunk last night but you didn’t even do that on purpose! And he could’ve told you earlier in the night so you could’ve stopped drinking and went to bed earlier yes, but he didn’t? This had to be a sick test.
What if Levi didn’t know you were joining his squad and this was some plan from the higher ups? What if Captain Levi didn’t want you on his squad at all and was trying to punish you today?
What if this is some type of hazing to get into the squad? And if you show up the next day or last a week you pass?
Why did your ODM gear fail? It had never done that to you before.
And yet, you still couldn’t bring yourself to dislike the stoic man.
You gather the strength and your belongings and head to the showers. Not lifting your head, you walk blindly the hallways to the showers, having walked the same way for 5 years since your 5 year anniversary when you were given your upgraded room. As part of your promotion, you were given access to the superior showers, dedicated to veterans and officers. As you’re about to knock on the door to see if it is occupied, the door swings open.
Of course Captain Levi had just showered, because he had come inside earlier than you and didn’t have to sulk about his performance. You do your best to muster up a smile and move out of the way for him to leave. You can’t help but look over his sculpted shoulders and biceps, down to his chiseled abs, and the v-line with a happy trail up the middle connecting to the pristine white towel covering the rest.
“L/n,” he says with no emotion, “showers all yours.” He remains looking at your face, noting the eye bags and bloodshot eyes. You must have been crying after your performance today, he thinks to himself. Combined with the dried blood around your eyebrow and nose, he thinks you’ll need a long while in there to recupe.
You nod to him, he walks away and you can’t help but notice his little back dimples as well. You proceed with getting undressed and warming the shower up, ready to sit on the shower floor and cry more. Peeling off the dirty white shirt that will need scrubbed and feeling the cold air against your skin was like stripping off the fuck ups of this morning. You relax under the hot water, watching all the dirt and blood wash down the drain.
Your exhaustion and embarrassment from the morning take over and you begin to sob, crying like you never have before. Not even holding it back, if someone was walking past they surely could hear it. You’re not even sure what you’re technically upset about the most, but right now crying is just what helps. At this point you’re leaning on the tile, out of breath, hiccuping like a child that just finished screaming for their lost mother. You work up the strength to begin washing your long hair foaming shampoo into it and scrubbing. After conditioning and washing your body you are officially exhausted. Wrapping in your two towels and begin the walk back to your room which luckily wasn’t too far. Maybe that’s why Captain Levi also wore his towel leaving the shower.
As you return to your room you look at the fruit Levi brought you last night and sigh. Why would he do that just to kick your ass? You throw on some comfy clothes and crawl back in bed with wet hair, drifting off for a nap.
Waking in the early afternoon, you stretch and yawn as you climb out of bed. You begin getting dressed to go to dinner in some of your casual clothes, luckily you don’t have to wear your uniform on weekends. You opt for a button up baby blue flowy dress with a navy sweater over top and your non-work boots.
Assessing the damage of your face in the mirror, you notice the bruises forming around your eyebrow and your nose. You have some scrapes up and down your arms which is why you chose to wear the sweater over. Your body aches. After all the years you’ve spent as a scout you’ve hardly ever had injuries this bad. Never from training though.
As you’re about to head out the door you notice a letter slipped under your door. You assume it is a silly note from Hange trying to lighten your mood. Your grin fades as you see who has signed at the bottom.
“L/n,
Please come to my office after dinner to discuss your performance today.
Captain Levi”
Your stomach sinks. In all these years you’ve never been called to your superiors office. You slip the letter in your bra under your dress and begin to walk to go to dinner.
Luckily Hange and Petra are already seated and you try to slip in without anyone acknowledging you. Given the ass beating you received this morning with a lot of the scouts watching, they can’t help but grimace at your bruised face. You opt for some soup, bread, and vegetables and sit down avoiding eye contact of your peers. Hange and Petra go silent as they watch you take your first few bites.
“Y/n,” hange says gently, “you look awful.”
You do your best to fake a smile to her, pretending like nothing is wrong. “Y/n, please don’t pretend like you’re fine…we’re here to talk,” Petra adds.
“I am fine. I had a bad day of training and I was hungover. I am perfectly fine and will be better by Monday.” You snap back at the both of them. With that they decide to change the topic, and talk about events that are happening in the town square tomorrow. Something about a show and food vendors and lanterns, it’s supposed to be a pretty big deal.
“Do you want to go y/n?” Hange perks up, crossing her fingers that you’ll say yes.
“Maybe, hopefully tomorrow will be better than today.” You try regaining your positivity and friendliness everyone knows you for.
“Someone put a letter under my door while I was napping.” You suddenly change the topic. Petra and Hange look at you with eyebrows raised.
“Captain Levi wants to see me in his office after dinner,” you whisper so nobody around you can hear. “What if I’m getting kicked off for my performance today?”
“I’m sure that’s the last thing it is.” hange says rolling her eyes and taking a huge bite of her bread. Petra sighs, “y/n, don’t look but him and Erwin have been staring at you and whispering this whole dinner.”
Of course you look up to meet steel gray eyes looking back into your own. Instead of shying away you hold eye contact, letting him be the one to break first and turning to Miche on the other side of Erwin.
“I’m not some sad puppy. I’m not going to let one bad day in 10 years determine my future. If Captain Levi wants me to put up a fight, then so be it. Just because I’m the first girl on his squad doesn’t mean I’m going to sit back and take their shit.” You are gaining your confidence back and are not going to falter and beg Levi to let you stay.
“We got the old y/n back,” Hange taunts to Petra, nudging you in the arm. You smile and ask them, “so what are your plans for tonight?”
After dinner you head back to your room to put a little makeup on. If this meeting goes well maybe you’ll go into town with Hange and Petra for a girls night. You find yourself wanting to look pretty, just in case, although you never cared about that before.
Levi is more than likely in his office now, as you watched him get up to leave shortly after you had the eye contact stand off. His office and sleeping quarters are just down the hall from you. You push down the butterflies growing within your stomach and sweaty palms as you grow closer to the door. You decide to stand there for a few seconds to control how fast your heart is beating and regain your composure.
However, in the time you stand there you hear noises from inside his office.
Typically if Captain Levi is in, he leaves the door opened a crack so people can welcome themselves in, but this time his door is completely shut. You decide to lean your ear up to the door to see if you actually heard something inside his room. Groaning and a slick noise can be heard, and you immediately blush backing away as quietly as possible.
Before you decide to turn around and go back to your room, your curiosity gets the better of you. You return your ear up to the door. Does Captain Levi have a girl over? Is it someone in the scouts? Your mind wanders as you listen to his beautiful groans and…wait… he’s by himself. Oh my god he’s jacking himself off. You hear him sliding his hand over his cock repeatedly.
You know this is wrong, you know you should walk away and pretend this never happened. But yet, you find a different type of butterflies growing in your stomach now. Not the nervous ones, but the horny ones. You’ve never thought about the captain like this and you know you shouldn’t but his voice is so damn sexy.. and the way you saw the water drop off his body after his shower today… you can’t help but imagine what he looks like right now.
“….y/n…” you hear the faintest moan come through the door and all the color drains from your cheeks. Does he know you’re standing there? No there’s no way he could. He’s getting off thinking about you. But isn’t that kind of fucked up considering everything he put you through today? Maybe he’s attracted to you and that’s how you got on squad Levi and it wasn’t your skills at all.
Your brain grows foggy, not being able to focus on all the ‘what if’s’ anymore but only able to focus on the heat growing between your legs. The speed of his strokes and the frequency of his heavy breathing indicates he is getting close. You feel yourself clench around nothing and right when you’re about to leave you hear it again.
“Fuck, y/n…” so faintly yet you couldn’t have imagined it, not twice. You hear a deep groan as you assume is him spilling his seed. Your mind can’t help wonder where he came, and what his cock looks like, and what he tastes like.
With that you are walking away from his door as quietly as possible and hurriedly walking back to your own. As soon as you’ve made it to your room, your cheeks flushed and so horny you can’t think about anything else. You lock the door and throw yourself onto the bed, pulling up your dress around your waist and lowering your panties. You haven’t relieved yourself in so long and you haven’t been touched by someone else in a few weeks. You run your delicate fingers up and down your slit gathering your wetness to spread it around your clit. Rubbing in small circles you let out a meek moan. The only thing taking up space in your horny brain right now is Captain Levi and the past 10 minutes that took place. You start pushing two fingers in and out of your tight hole thinking if it was him fingering you how it would feel. Would he talk down to you like he did when you were training this morning? The thought of that turns you on to a whole new level. You continue to get yourself off when you hear a distant pair of footsteps in the hallway. You can’t be bothered by how foggy your brain is to care if someone hears you. The cute squelching noises your pussy is making would be enough to send any man over the edge. Your climax is building up so fast you don’t notice how the footsteps come to a stop outside of your door. After another minute of keeping up your movements your orgasm washes over you and you can’t help but let out a throaty “Leeviii” as you feel your back arch off the bed.
You put your panties back on, wiping your hands off on a towel in your room and are finally catching your breath when there is a soft knock on the door.
Good god, the footsteps in the hallway, did someone just hear all that? You look in the mirror to check yourself before opening the door. It looks like you just ran a mile with the way your chest is moving and the blush that creeps across your chest up to your cheeks.
You unlock and open the door to find Captain Levi standing there arms crossed. Trying to hide the mortified expression on your face as the reality sinks in of the past 30 minutes you stutter as you go to greet him, “Captain Levi! How can I help you?” Smiling at him with a glow on your face post orgasm.
“I believe you received the note to see me in my office after dinner,” he sternly responds not an emotion in his eyes. Surely if he had heard you he would’ve at least blushed or something?
“Oh y-yes Captain. I’m so sorry, I stopped by but you were-” you cut yourself off realizing what you were about to say. “Um your door was closed so I was going to stop by again in a few minutes,” you hurriedly finish your thoughts, not being able to maintain eye contact with your superior.
“Ah well, I’m free now so if you wouldn’t mind joining me.” If you’re not mistaken he just smirked at you? Is he playing mind games with you? No there’s no way he knew you were outside of his door, but maybe he did hear you moaning.
“Yes sir,” you follow behind him as he begins the walk to his office.
Either Captain Levi is the cockiest motherfucker in the scouts or he is absolutely oblivious. Or is he a master manipulator? All of your thoughts race as you approach his door again. All the meanwhile you think about how you still can’t hate him.
As you enter into his quaint office you take in the scent of tea spices, a well organized desk and bookshelf, and a small table. You notice a garbage can under the desk with tissues in it and can’t help but wonder…
“Can I offer you some tea?” He asks, walking over to a door on the other side of the room with a tea kettle. “Yes please,” you respond and he goes through the door, which must lead to his sleeping quarters and some type of stove to heat water.
“Please have a seat,” he motions to the small table that has some scouts paperwork on it as he enters back into the room. “It’ll take a few minutes for the water to heat.” You nod, sitting as you try to keep your nerves under control. He is walking around the near space tidying belongings and disappears in the next room again. He comes back with a blanket and some firewood. Lighting a fire in the small fireplace. He hands you the blanket, “‘m sorry it gets cold in here when the sun goes down.” You nod to him placing it on your lap as you hear the tea kettle boiling in the next room over. Does he do this when he meets with all his subordinates? Surely not…. Unless he is as nice as you suspected he was?
Captain Levi returns with a tray with two tea cups the boiling water and a variety of tea bags. “Would you like to pick?” He holds the selection out to you. “Whatever you recommend, I don’t know a lot about tea,” you try to lighten the room with a little giggle but his face remains stoic as he picks two of the same tea bags, setting them aside before placing the tea cups on the table, filling them with the hot water and placing the tea bags in the cups. He sits down at the seat next diagonal from you at the square table, so you both are facing the fire. He then grabs the blanket off your lap, spreading it out so it covers both of you. Everything he does is so calculated, and you are at the edge of your seat to find out more about him and what this meeting is about.
Captain Levi sips his tea first.
He sighs and states without looking at you, “I’m sorry about this morning.”
“Please sir, don’t apologize, I understand it was my fault and I will do better.” You do your best to keep a positive smile on your face even though he isn’t looking at you.
“Another thing about being on my team, don’t fucking lie to me. I’d rather you tell me you’re miserable and hate my guts than be fake to me.”
You are taken aback by his words, you have never heard a captain or high rank want to be addressed less formally. “I-I’m sorry?” You stutter out. He ignores your apology. “Our squad eats every meal together. We all have our rooms around the same area which won’t be a problem since you’re not too far from here anyways. We train 6 days a week unless there is a mission or some sort of order from the higher ups. I highly advise no more drinking and no more romantic involvement with any men..er women I guess.” Still not speaking directly at you he is just holding his tea cup to his lips, not by the handle but holding his hand over top the rim.
“Yes, Captain.” You nod, and he finally looks over to you, studying your face. You grow self conscious until he says, “How is your face feeling? That looked like quite the tumble.” You chuckle, touching your eyebrow. “I think it looks worse than it is. I think I was more embarrassed than anything,” you shrug taking a sip of your tea.
“I know you probably think I’m out to get you, given your experience this morning.” He says still looking in your eyes. Before he finishes his thought you cut him off, “oh not at all sir!”
Levi ignores your objection, continuing, “We have to be the best. I treat my team like brothers. We’ll I guess..erm..sister now too.” He looks away with what looks like a slight pinkness on his cheeks.
“You’ve been in the Scouts for longer than most of our team. You have a good head on your shoulders, I just need to make sure you can keep up with us physically. That’s why I wanted to see how your injuries were holding up this evening.”
You nod, as this feels like a mental game of chess. Captain Levi survived in the underground for years, he is calculated, sharp, even scary smart.
“I’d like for you to choose someone to practice your hand to hand combat skills with over the next few integration trainings. You were pretty good but you have to get great.”
“Yes Captain… would you mind helping me with it? I’d like to learn from the best.” You grin and blush up at him.
“Are you trying to kiss my ass L/n? It’s going to take a lot more than flattery to get on my good side.” He looks over at you with a slight smirk on his face and a playful tone, one of the first times you’ve ever seen him like this.
“Then what else would it take? To get on your good side?” You dare start flirting with your captain, feeling awfully bold and somewhat unhinged after all the events that have taken place today.
“You’ll have to figure that out yourself,” he says in a low, sultry tone as his eyes look from yours down to your lips and back. He reaches his hand over and you freeze, but he wipes off some tea from the corner of your lip and retreats his hand back.
“So I have to ask… since you said you stopped by earlier. I heard some footsteps approach my door while I was attending to some … personal matters.. and it seems they stopped and listened for a few minutes. You didn’t happen to see who it was did you?” Levi smirks staring at the fireplace, knowing he has caught you red handed as your face blushes hard.
“Next time, just knock. I could have used some assistance. It sounded like you needed some to,” he has a shit eating cocky grin, being the master manipulator he is looking over to you with your jaw dropped.

1999
the whispers in a classroom felt so loud despite it was just whispering. yoshida hoshiko stood behind the homeroom teacher as she peeking the class from behind. "hoshiko-chan, come greet your friends." the teacher said, showing her child-friendly bright smile in order to not scare the child away. slowly moving to the front, hoshiko stunned at the view of her now classmates. "h-hello, i'm y-yoshida hoshiko. i'm from america." hosiko said shyly as she looked at her feet. the whispering continues and then the teacher clapped her hands. "alright, how about hoshiko-chan take a seat next to emma-chan?" the teacher said as an arm raise up indicating that she's emma-chan. hoshiko walked her way towards the mention table and the girl, emma, looked at her way. "nice to meet you, i'm emma." the girl introduced herself, smiling. hoshiko smiled shyly and took her seat.
"i'm hoshiko."
-
after school, while hoshiko clearing up her desk and put her items back into her backpack, she felt someone approaching her. hoshiko turned around and it was emma. "would you like to come to my house?" emma asked. "i had to ask my mom first." hoshiko told emma and emma just nodded her head, understanding. "it's okay, we can go ask her together." emma replied, causing hoshiko smiled shyly. hoshiko never had friends back in america, it was because she's different. her family moved to japan before she was born and right after she was born, her parents immediately registered her as american-born japanese. due to that, kids at her kindergarten back then wasn't into accepting diversity. therefore that's why hoshiko was a bit taken aback towards emma's friendliness.
as soon as they arrived at the front gate of the school, hoshiko saw her mom standing while carrying her baby brother. "mama!" hoshiko shouted, running towards her mom's way. "hoshiko-chan!" yoshida airi greeted as she wrapped her arms around her daughter. then saw a girl behind her daughter. "who's this?" yoshida airi asked. hoshiko turned around and gesturing emma to stood next to her, emma did so, smiling at yoshida airi. "this is my new friend, emma-chan!" hoshiko introduced as yoshida airi held out her hand. "nice to meet you emma-chan, thank you for being hoshiko's first friend here." yoshida airi said and emma reached for yoshida airi's hand and shook it. "i am happy to be hoshiko-chan's friend+" emma said, making hoshiko blushed and yoshida airi chuckled. "that's a relief." yoshida airi said.
"that's a relief that your mom allowed you to come to my house right?" emma asked and hoshiko felt guilty for it. her mom has come all the way to school to picked her up with a baby brother in a carrier ended up hoshiko wanted to play at a friend's house. 'it's not that they have time to play with me.'
'later okay hoshiko, mama needs to attend to aoi for now.'
'hoshiko, please understand us, aoi is still a baby and needs our attention more than you do. later papa take you play outside okay?'
-
"i'm home and i bring a friend too!" emma greeted as she took off her shoes, followed by hoshiko. "good afternoon." hoshiko greeted. sano mansaku came into the front hallway to see the girls. "oh welcome home emma and welcome." sano mansaku greeted, smiling. "this is hoshiko-chan, she's new in my school." emma introduced as hoshiko bowed her head. "nice to meet you." hoshiko said. "it's the middle of the year, how come she's new?" a voice spoken up and it was mikey. "shut up." sano mansaku said and just knocked on mikey's head, causing him to whimper. hoshiko watching the whole scene and she just giggling. mikey looked at hoshiko while rubbing the spot on his head, smiling shyly.
few months later, as hoshiko adjusted to her new life in japan, her friendship with emma blossomed. same goes to mikey. whenever hoshiko is in his house, he would like to stay at home instead of playing with keisuke or with sanzu, or both of them. he would always stood behind walls to listen to her voice, especially her giggling, because it makes his heart warms up. he don't know what love is but if he could describe one, it would be the one that warms his heart.
ever since then, he could feel something weird in his heart. he don't know what it is but he knew he didn't like it.
"yo mikey, what are you doing?" mikey was shocked by the sudden voice as he looked up and saw shinichiro. hearing the girls giggling, shinichiro smirked at mikey, causing the nine year-old blushed. "mikey you weird." shinichiro said and left him at the hallway. "what do you mean by that shin-nii!" mikey shouted, causing the two girls in the kitchen to stop their doings and went to the hallway to see the ruckus. "mikey!" emma shouted, placing her hands on her waist. hoshiko watched the scene as mikey left and went outside of the house. smiling at mikey's action, hoshiko followed emma back into the kitchen as they were preparing for dinner.
at the playground, mikey just swinging at the swings as keisuke and sanzu were swinging at the monkey bars upside down. "yo mikey, what are you daydreaming about?" keisuke asked. "maybe..." sanzu started as mikey alerted the tone used by sanzu and stood up, walking towards sanzu's way. "what, maybe what?" mikey challenged him, making sanzu shut his mouth quiet. keisuke sighed. "it's okay you know." he said, making mikey looked at his way. "we all knew you like emma's friend." keisuke added. this time, mikey ran away from the playground to his home.
once arrived back at home, mikey opened the front door and see hoshiko's back. hearing the front door opened, hoshiko turned around to see mikey and smiled at him warmly. "welcome back mikey-kun! you're just in time." hoshiko greeted and mikey confused. "for what?" asked mikey as hoshiko looked at the hallway and then turned back to him. "we're going to visit your mom, i can't wait to meet her. i wonder if your mom and my mom-" "SHUT UP!" mikey shouted, making hoshiko shut up and just looked at mikey.
'why is he acting like this?'
"go home hoshiko, i don't want to see you ever again." mikey fumed, making hoshiko confused. "what do you mean mikey-kun?" hoshiko asked back, truly confused by this sudden persona. "i hate you!" this time mikey yelled aggresively, making hoshiko flinched by the word. "because of you, all of my friends belittled me. just go home." mikey confessed. tears building up and with that, hoshiko ran out of the sano residence. "manjiro, what was that?" shinichiro asked, as he has been standing right after hearing mikey shouted earlier to see what was the fuss about. mikey ignored him and told him that he will be waiting outside.
that was the last time yoshida hoshiko went to the sano residence because right after hoshiko went back to her family residence, she found that her parents has been packing their things because they had to move back to america since her grandfather was fallen ill and no one was there to take care of him.
remembering mikey's words, hoshiko obeyed her parents and without last farewell to her best friend, sano emma, hoshiko left japan the last time with a heavy heart.
-
days later, sano sakurako, mikey and shinichiro's mom was announced dead. emma learnt that her best friend has left japan and not talking to mikey for a week. and with that, mikey has been feeling weird about himself, like the jekyll and hyde situation.
"laugh, haruchiyo." mikey said as haruchiyo was on his knees, laughing his heart out with slits on the sides of his mouth. keisuke was on the ground, seeing his friends with blood, haruchiyo's blood on mikey's hand and haruchiyo's blood on his mouth. shinichiro shocked with the situation and immediately brought haruchiyo to the hospital for treatment. as for keisuke, it was best for him to go home for the time being.
later that night, shinichiro confronted mikey regarding the afternoon event and mikey could say was, "what ... got into me? when i came to, i saw what i had done to haruchiyo's face." confused by his own action, as if it wasn't him who did that earlier. "i'm sorry shin-nii, i don't know why i did that earlier." looking on the ground, shinichiro just sighed at his younger brother. "manjiro, it is not me that you should say those words to." shinichiro said to mikey and the next day, mikey and shinichiro visited haruchiyo at the hospital for haruchiyo's forgiveness.
-
in his fifth grade, mikey met his friend for life, his anchor, a kid with dragon tattoo on his temple. draken, ken-chin. "you're mikey-kun, right?" draken asked, making mikey nodded his head at him. "yeah, that's me." mikey admitted as he popped in his lollipop into his mouth. "what is it?" mikey asked. "my middle school seniors are asking for you." draken informed. "if you don't want to, i mean-" "i'll go with you." mikey cutted draken off.
"since you asked, i'll come along." mikey reasoned and after that, mikey followed draken right after he placed his stuffs at school.
"let's be friends, kenchin."
-
2003
four years after hoshiko left japan, her family decided to move back to japan right after her grandfather died. it has been a year since they moved and hoshiko's brother, aoi, went to the same elementary school that hoshiko used to go to.
"mikey!" the five boys grunted, looking back to see mikey on his glory hawk maru scooter. mikey who keep a straight face, just ignoring their whines. as mikey arrived, all five of them got off from their bike, except for mikey.
while baji was dragging mikey's scooter to find a gas station, the five of them went to the beach. at the beach, both draken and mitsuya were racing their way to the sea while pahcin and kazutora were relaxing under a shade, enjoying the beach view. kazutora looked around, weirded. "where's mikey?"
"hey!"
mikey approached keisuke and his scooter. "i forgot my swim trunks." mikey told him and as soon as he arrived to where keisuke stood at, mikey raise up his leg and kicked his scooter to the curb making both keisuke and the other gang members shocked. "hey ass-holes, why did you hurt the most important thing to me?" mikey asked as rage filling his body. "but you did that!" one of the other gang members mentioned and with that, mikey swung his leg and the guy with a second. mikey turned his head to the side and looked at keisuke, "baji, you're not hurt right? i'm sorry for you to sacrificed yourself for something like this." mikey said. keisuke watched mikey's back. "you still can stand right? cause we're going to slaughter them all!"
-
shinichiro, who was smoking outside of his bike shop, saw mikey riding the scooter to his way. "hey shin-nii! i totally ruined hawk maru!" mikey said and rubbing the back of his head. "could you fix this for me?" mikey asked, making shinichiro snickered.
right after shinichiro fixed the scooter, mikey left the workshop. then a boy came to the workshop, approaching shinichiro. "are you sano?" the boy asked, making shinichiro turned around. "that would be me." shinichiro said as the boy held out a letter, giving it to shinichiro. "it's from my sister." the boy said and after that, he left. shinichiro was dumbfounded, assuming that a girl tried to confess to him by using her little brother.
happy with his delusion, shinichiro skipped his way back into his workshop.
"how can i get stronger?" a boy whimpered as he was on his knees. tears welling up his eyes as he looked up at shinichiro. "i want to be like you, i want to be a hero!" the boy shouted, making shinichiro smiled. "a hero, huh?"
"i should've gotten it properly like this too."
later that night, shinichiro opened the letter to read it on what his secret admirer wrote for him. "oh? what is this?" shinichiro asked to himself. coming out of his room, he searched for emma or mikey or whoever he saw first to give the letter to as he read that it wasn't for him in the first place. "emma, are you in here?" shinichiro asked as he entered the kitchen to see emma working on dinner. emma turned around. "hm, what is it?" emma asked and shinichiro handed the letter to her. emma looked at the letter then looked back at shinichiro. shinichiro nodded at her and emma took the letter. "you might want to take a seat for this emma." shinichiro warned. emma looked at him, pulling the dining chair next to her and sat down. shinichiro do the same thing with a seat opposite to emma as emma opened the letter and starts reading it.
"yo mikey." draken greeted as mikey entered their usual café. smiling, mikey walked his way to where draken sat at. but then, he saw someone familiar. "hoshiko?" mikey muttered. the familiar eyes that he knew looked at him back, turned to be a boy.
"i'm home." mikey shouted, entering the house. the house seemed gloomier than ever. mikey entered the kitchen and saw his grandfather, brother and sister, sat at the dining table as emma was sobbing. she looked up to see mikey. "m-mikey..." emma muttered his name. sano mansaku pat her head. mikey felt unease with the situation. "here, mikey. read it." shinichiro said as he handed out the letter towards mikey. taking the letter from shinichiro, mikey went off to his room.
plopped on his bed, mikey opened the letter.
after everyone in the sano family learned the truth about hoshiko, all of them couldn't sleep well that night.
-
august 14th, 2003, shinichiro went to meet hoshiko in heaven. smiling, shinichiro chuckled as he saw hoshiko in front of his motorbike shop right after he was killed by kazutora after learning that keisuke was in his shop, attempting to steal a motorbike that he was about to present it to mikey for his birthday.
"i miss you, shin-nii." hoshiko said as she approaching him with a hug. shinichiro hugged back, crying. "i miss you too brat, now let's go. we can the meet the others when they are ready." shinichiro said as he placed his hand on hoshiko's shoulder and walked their way towards the light.

"Until now, I lived life thinking I was all alone But now I can move on 'cause it could be the two of us If you feel the same way too."

Here's a writing idea for you, but you don't have to do it
Kinger of Hearts hosts a big ass party celebrating his birthday, gets drunk from the wine and tried to get ✨frisky✨ with Mad Caine(whether he succeeds or not it's up to you)
HEY WHAT'S UP GUYS I'M BACK
Y'know I kinda feel like my works have been getting less and less family friendly over time-
ANYWAY this is set after Queenie's takeover attempt, so Caine and Kinger are together. (I can't be bothered to explain any unknown lore so. Just go with it for my sake)
Oh and wonderland au by @obamerzslop
It had been nearly a month since Queenie's defeat. Everyone was still admittedly shaken, although also more at ease, knowing that they were now truly safe. It was Kinger of Hearts' birthday, meaning there was a large celebration held. Most of the people there were acquaintances and colleagues more than anything, considering the party wasn't even the king's idea, but rather something viewed as a necessity. The only person there that he actually liked was Mad Caine, due to his connection as the jester, along with his advisor, Rabbit Ragatha. Kinger had insisted none of his other friends go, as they wouldn't enjoy it. It didn't feel like it was actually for him, anyway. Pomni, however, had suggested they should still do something separate to celebrate later, which the king was very much looking forward to.
Caine stood near the wall, somewhat unsure around all of the people he failed to recognise. The odd dodo or flower person he'd seen once or twice before at other royal events, but nothing more than that. He had already done his performance at this point, which had been relatively well received, if only because everyone there knew how much Kinger of Hearts valued the jester. They were all far too uptight to truly enjoy Mad Caine's routines, as amusing as they were. He was believed to have a lower class role, making him unworthy of being as close to the king as he was. There was power in the role of jester. Power that they could never achieve.
While better acquainted with the guests, Ragatha was just as uncomfortable. Seeing Caine in the distance, she approached, a genuine smile on her face, which was a rare sight at such events.
"Mad Caine!" She called out as she went to stand beside him. "Your performance was rather good. How are you doing?"
His features relaxed. "Thank you, my friend! I'm not doing too bad myself! How about you?"
Rabbit Ragatha let out a loud sigh. "These events are so very tedious. I know it's already been a month since... everything, but I still feel like I'm in desperate need of a nap." She chuckled quietly. "I wish Kinger of Hearts would realise that he doesn't need to put up this facade anymore, if he ever even needed to in the first place. I think it's still instinct for him to put up this mask for his own safety."
Caine crossed his arms and looked down, concerned. He couldn't bear the thought of Kinger thinking he needs to pretend to be someone he's not. He loved the real Kinger with all his heart, and he wanted to see him happy as well. Assessing his worried posture, Ragatha's eyes softened.
"Maybe you could convince him not to lie so much anymore. While I am his advisor, with something like this, he's a bit more likely to listen to his boyfriend." She gave Caine a friendly nudge as he blushed lightly.
"Haha! Maybe..." He thought about it further. Even if Kinger didn't listen, it was worth a try. He could find a way to convince him regardless. "I'll see what I can do, Raggy!"
Ragatha looked embarrassed by the nickname, as while it was sweet, it wasn't something she necessarily wanted to be called in such a professional environment. Caine looked away and saw Kinger talking with someone he hadn't seen before, and it didn't look like a conversation the royal was particularly enjoying. After quickly informing Ragatha that he would be 'back in a jiffy', he set off towards Kinger, determined to save him from the annoying situation. It was his birthday, after all!
When he reached the king, Mad Caine lightly touched his hand. His liking for physical touch was well known, so it wasn't nearly enough physical affection to raise questions, although it was still the king he was touching.
"Happy birthday, Your Majesty! Are you enjoying yourself?" With a clear look of disdain, the other person left. Kinger of Hearts relaxed significantly and his voice lowered in volume.
"Far more now that you're here." Seeing Ragatha, he glanced around before fully grasping Caine's hand and walking over. "You know, I believe that's the seventh time today you've said 'happy birthday' to me."
"And I'll say it again, my love!" Kinger's eyes widened, worrying greatly about anyone else hearing. For his sake, Caine became quieter, but that didn't mean he liked it. "My dear, Queenie is dead. You don't need to fear her overthrowing you again. You can be yourself now. And if anyone goes against you, then I say that gives you plenty of reason to execute them!"
Kinger smiled, although there was still doubt in his eyes. "You're probably right, but it still feels... wrong. I've been like this for so long, I don't know how to rule as anyone else." Some heads turned to watch the pair with curious looks, but Mad Caine gently rubbed his thumb across Kinger's hand to keep him from seeing.
"I understand, but that doesn't mean I'll start agreeing with you on that any time soon." The two finally reached Ragatha as Kinger gave a chuckle that shook his shoulders. His advisor was somewhat absorbed in her own thoughts, surprised by how relaxed she was. By how relaxed they all were compared to past times like this. As horrible as the whole situation with Queenie had been, it had finally gotten rid of the ever-looming threat that she had once been.
"Your Highness," Ragatha greeted him with a noticeable hint of sarcasm, "is everything to your liking?"
Kinger sighed heavily. "All I'll say is that I'm going to need plenty of wine to get through this." Ragatha nodded and bowed, a glimmer in her eyes like she was about to tell a joke at any moment.
"I'll fetch you a glass."
Hours later, Kinger of Hearts had stayed true to his word, having downed several glasses at that point. Most of the more distinguished guests had filed out, with mainly guards and captains left, as well as other drunkards that they had to remove. Despite how most people and tables had been cleared away, the room felt far less empty with mainly just the trio standing in it. Kinger swayed a little on his feet, with Ragatha and Caine attempting to keep him upright. The two shared knowing glances, silently deciding that it would be best to completely finish the festivities. Before Mad Caine could suggest this to Kinger, however, the king spoke to him with a highly flirtatious tone.
"Heyyy, gorgeous~ you- you come 'round here often?" Ragatha put a hand to her mouth to try and muffle her snickers, while Caine gave Kinger a soft smile.
"Kinger, it's me, Mad Caine!" For the king's sake, he gave a quick glance to the guards, but they were busy removing a passed out accountant from the premises. "Your boyfriend?"
Kinger's eyes widened exponentially. "Woah... that's good. Vvvvery good." He cupped Caine's teeth with his hand. "Y-you're reeeeally pretty..."
The chess piece was mesmorised and Caine could feel his face heat up. Ragatha composed herself enough to put a gentle hand on Kinger's back.
"Your Majesty, you're drunk. You should go to bed." She looked to Mad Caine. "I can help you escort him there."
Caine, however, could clearly see the exhaustion on Ragatha's face, and refused to let her work any longer. "No, my dear! You need to rest for once. I have everything perfectly under control!" With that, Kinger rested his head on the top of Caine's teeth, abruptly shutting them.
Ragatha tried and failed to contain her laughter at Caine's muffled speaking while he tried to open his mouth again. She helped lift Kinger off of the hatter, smiling down at him. "Let me at least help get his Majesty out of here. Then I'll take a break."
Mad Caine agreed to these terms, and the two led Kinger of Hearts out and towards his room. They got halfway down the hall before Caine remembered that Ragatha had promised to rest, so he sent her to her chambers nearby. When the rabbit refused, insisting on helping further, Kinger of Hearts slurred out a threat to execute Ragatha if she didn't rest. She finally agreed, bidding Kinger good night and Caine good luck.
The hatter continued to walk with Kinger, holding one of his hands and with his other hand on the king's back. Kinger turned to face Caine, staring at him for a moment before speaking. "I love yoouuu."
Caine couldn't help but blush as a smile appeared on his face. "I love you too, my dear."
Kinger put a hand on Caine's waist and pulled him closer. "H-hey Caine, are you a flower? Be- because I wanna pollinate you~"
Mad Caine looked at the king in confusion for a moment before he remembered the biology of plant life. His teeth and gums became covered in a bright red as he began to stammer, his grip on Kinger's hand tightening.
"O-oh! Uh, I- l-let's just get you to your room!" He quickened his walking pace. The king's room was near the end of the hall, but he thankfully didn't have much further to go. Then the king would be able to sleep until he sobered up. While Kinger absent-mindedly matched his pace, he didn't stop flirting.
"Y-you're sooo cute... Hey, do- are you made of bees? Because yyyou're as honey as sweet..."
Mad Caine burst out laughing, although he did appreciate that Kinger tried. "Why, thank you, my dear." The hatter walked the king into his bedroom and sat him down on the bed. Before he could bid Kinger of Hearts goodnight, however, the king grabbed him and held him close, pulling Caine onto the bed with him.
Kinger kissed him repeatedly, and after a few moments, Caine returned the hug. He could tell that Kinger of Hearts was fighting sleep, so he decided to lay there with him, patiently waiting for Kinger to succumb to his exhaustion. Mad Caine adored these moments he had with Kinger, even if he would've preferred for the king to be sober, as it was something he had silently wished for for a long time. Eventually, he felt the kisses slow down and stop as Kinger finally fell asleep.
Caine let out a quiet sigh of both relief and content. He made a mental note to bring up their relationship and making it public once Kinger woke up, then drifted off himself, already excited to wake up next to Kinger in the morning.

Yandere Shalnark- Darling
Tumblr media
TW: Yandere themes, reader was obtained disgustingly, kidnapping, violence, kinda short, probably only like 1k words, drugging, manipulation, debt, kinda loan-sharks
(fic under cut)
"Bye" you got off of the phone with your landlord, "Shit" you sit on the curb outside of the apartment complex and hide your face in your hands. You sat and listened to the rain for what felt like the rest of your life
The rain was so loud, almost loud enough to block out a pair of quiet footsteps. It was far too late, the second you truly noticed the door hadnt opened was the same second the rag was placed over your face, The night sky blared in your eyes as it blurred and contorted the more you breathed in the sickeningly sweet chemical
Tumblr media
You didnt expect to wake up, and certainly not in a dark room which seemed to inhabit just you and likely whatever creepy crawlies were sitting in the corners of these god forsaken walls. You cursed everything, you prayed that your friends and family knew you loved them and every other thing that came to mind
When instead of death, you were met with two men standing infront of you "ill be taking her now, feitan, thank you" you assume the other man just nodded because you were picked up, the man carried you for quite some time before you were dropped, the blindfold stopped you from seeing but you could hear a key jingling before you were picked up once more by the man, who dropped you on a concrete floor "im going to untie you now,ok" you dont have time to answer before the rope around your limbs was sliced quicker than you ask who he was
By the time you stood up and took off the blindfold he was on the other side of the room, sitting on a storage box in the large warehouse "sorry, i cant take you back to my place right now" You quickly back away from him, the door not unlocking as you rattle the door knob "sorry, your gonna need a key for that" The blonde man held up a key before placing it back in his pocket in one liquid motion
"Who are you?" The man seems to have a look of fake betrayal as he gasps "you really dont remember!..You were at a bank we robbed" Your eyes widen as the man "Me and the troupe that is, im Shalnark" your lungs seem to completely give up on you, it would seem so since they were unable to take a breath
"Are you going to hyperventilate?" Shalnark pulls out a small device with wings on the side "Id love to get a video" he gives a sweet smile and points the camera at you while you struggle to breathe on the cold concrete floor
"Whats going on?" A small boy comes out of the dark "Nothing, Kalluto" The boy takes one small glance at your struggling form and flicks his fan at you, A slew of air coming into your lungs as he does, You watch him leave just as quickly as he had entered the strangely tense room
"Thank you?..." you said as he quietly returned to his position elsewhere "Youll get used to it, afterall, youve got a lifetime!" he smiles and seems to be surprised when you perk up "What do you mean?!" His face returns to a near constant smile as he just looks at you like a child throwing a tantrum over something silly "I kidnapped you, i own you now..Youll never leave me" he says it as if its the most childish thing possible
"How did you find me" Shalnark laughs and gives you a glare "I didnt, your debt found me" he gets off of the box and approaches your shaking form, giggling when you tremble as his arm snakes around your shoulder "Your trembling darling! Im gonna bring you out to my..friends" his hand rests on your neck, threatening to squeeze but not quite doing so "If you act up, there will be consequences" his face gets much darker and disturbing than before, but he goes back to just being friendly as his arm returns around your shoulder as he practically carries you into another room "Hello!" he shouts out to the multiple men and women siting around the building "This is Y/N" he says as he drops you on an old couch next to the most muscular man you had ever seen "Nice to meet you" He holds his hand out and gives you a grin that showed his sharp teeth "Dont scare her uvo!" Uvogin just smiles "Just being polite, you dont mind? Right doll?" He turns to look at you once more, shalnark also sends you a look but his is a piercing glare "Well..uhm.." you shrug and the two both seemed to be annoyed at the fakely nonchalant action
Shalnark approaches you and grabs your wrist in almost an unbelievably tight grip, Another man in a black cowl seemed to take notice and smile as shalnark inches ever closer to breaking your wrist, you manage to pull your wrist away and inch away from shalnark. "darling, we'll talk about that later" he whispers in your ear while bending down to your height as you hug your knees and look around the room once more, eventually just keeping your head down
The people in the room spoke, they were so caught up they didnt seem to notice when you slinked away to explore, finding an exit quite quickly as you walk out into the surronding pavement to go down the street. You pause when you read the sign...The nearest town was 20 miles away and you were pretty sure there was just about no one around
You came back to the building and entered once more, noticing commotion in another room. You enter and shalnark practically tackles you "You left, pick your next words very wisely" his smile still remained as he stood above your form "im sorry" the smile fades and he gets off of you "You will be" he practically drags you until your behind closed doors
He pins you down on the ground, kneeling so he was in a position with your arm at his mercy "If i break your arm..you wont be able to leave for a couple weeks.." he debates his choice "if i break a leg..i could keep you here forever" he bites his lip, seeming to think about his desicion
You scream when your arm is pulled, the bone popping and dislocating "I havent even broken it yet!" he laughs as tears stream down your face and onto the floor. He pulls harder and laughs once more when your scream gets louder "Its not that bad! Maybe ill do your leg too~" he coos in your ear as he pulls until he hears a clean snap
He gets up and stretches "That really got me worked up...maybe i can help feitan out!" he smiles and waves goodbye as he goes off to find feitan. Your left with a disgustingly intense pain in your arm, You get on the nearby bed which you assumed was his and clutched your arm
Hours pass, He returns and is suprised to see you still laying down crying "I guess i overestimated you...You are just a civilian after all" he sits down next to you and hands you a bottle of pain relief pills and a gatorade "I stole them from some store nearby" he says it as if its normal as he watches you take the pills "They might make you tired" he looks at you, watching you yawn "Feel free to go to bed, i have to be out tonight" theres a carelessness in his voice as he walks out
You give into sleep, curling up under the thin blankets as the pain dies down
Tumblr media
You wake up to shalnark leaning over you, "Your finally awake!" he smiles as the pain from your arm registers. He sits down on the bed next to you and pokes your arm "I went out and stole stuff to make this more...comfortable for you" you nod and look at the bag on the floor and a fuzzy blanket that sat next to it "I really shouldnt give them to you..but im choosing to be nice even after your little escape attempt yesterday" you give him a irritated look "it was not an escape attempt" he gives you a sarcastic glance "Sure it wasnt" he searches through the shopping bag on the floor for a moment
"i dont eat breakfast, but Fei said most people do" he puts a yogurt on the bed and smiles as you pick it up. Your about to eat it but look at him and he seems confused before you speak "did you remember to buy a spoon?" it registers "Nope!, another member might have one though" he walks out before you can ask which
Your forced to get out of bed, trying to not put any pressure on your already aching arm as you try to remember the name of the one who you met yesterday. You found him talking to who you assumed was Feitan with your yogurt in one hand as the other laid strangely against your side "Do either of you know where i can find a spoon" You yawn and stare at them as they point to the bar behind you
You approach the bar and see a couple plastic spoons, you picked one up and began eating as the two men watched you retreat back to the room you had came from and sit back down on the bed. You looked at the bag from this morning, but dont dare look inside as you lay your head down
Sleep envelopes you as you quietly shift, you placed the fluffy blanket over you along with the few thin ones that were on the bed. You would sleep until shalnark appeared again...

I’m really loving all your fics, you are so incredibly talented and I really hope you know how much you are appreciated! I don’t know if this is too similar to other mental health works you’ve done but would you consider doing one with either Mor or Nesta being mated to a reader who hates confrontation and deals with anxiety. I feel like both Nesta and Mor don’t hide away from confrontation and it would be a cool dynamic to see how either one of them helps reader out 💕
Confrontation
Nesta x reader
A/n: thank you anon that means so much. I’m truly grateful that for the support you all give me and my blog. I love seeing your requests, comments, likes, and reblogs❤️ I think I did something like this for Cassian but everyone’s different so I went with Nesta on this one
Warnings: mentions of past trauma, anxiety
You were never one to get into a fight. You liked to talk things out rather than get physical or yell. Loud noises and yelling made your anxiety act up. You just shut down if someone starts yelling at you. You never responded well to yelling, especially as a kid since your parents argued a lot.
When you and Nesta felt comfortable in your relationship and you met her family you were invited over for game night. You didn’t know such a small group could be so loud. But it was a good loud, nothing to set you off.
That was until Nesta caught Cassian placing down two cards instead of one like he was supposed to. “Cassian that’s cheating!” “What are you talking about? Az definitely put that card down!” Their argument slowly pulled in Az then Rhys. You had no idea Nesta could tell like that.
Feyre noticed your discomfort immediately. Your mental shields were coming along but they weren’t at Nesta’s level yet. Feyre slipped in discreetly just to make sure you were ok. Once she saw that you weren’t Feyre scrambled to sit next to you pulling you into a hug. You knew from the way Feyre gripped you she everything.
You were tense in her arms watching the four of them fight. Rhys noticed first, “Feyre, y/n? What’s wrong?” You didn’t notice tears were slowly falling down your cheeks until Nesta was kneeling by your side wiping them away. “Y/n, what’s wrong baby?”
“Sorry,” you whisper. You let go of Feyre and scoot away from them. You stand and Nesta follows, looking at you with concern. “I’m just, I’m gunna go to your room for a minute.” You mumble. “Ok.” You turned and walked as fast as you could.
Once in the safety of Nesta’s bedroom your curled up on top of her covers, your mind racing. You knew Feyre had been in your mind. She and Rhys had been teaching you enough to know how to feel the intrusion. You felt like you needed someone to know how you felt since you weren’t great at verbalizing it sometimes.
Minutes later Nesta lightly knocked on the door and entered. “Hey,” she said softly, approaching the bed to sit by your side, “Feyre told me. I’m so sorry. I wouldn’t have yelled like that if I knew.” You sit up and see her guilty face. “I forgive you. But, all I ask is that you try not to do that again.” Nesta nods quickly.
From then on Nesta kept her tone in check. Her family was surprised by the change. She constantly reminded them that it was for you and they needed to be careful as well. Occasionally Cassian would push her buttons but she kept her temper reigned in. You didn’t even ask her to work on her temper, that’s what surprised you.
As a treat for her improvement you decided that some shopping and lunch at her favorite cafe was best. As you walked down the bustling streets, hand-in-hand toward the cafe you saw a group of females Nesta was less than friendly with.
They we’re shooting her dirty looks as you both tried your best to ignore them. Until the ‘leader’ stepped on the train of your dress causing you to stumble a little. Her friend group laughed as you tried to collect yourself. When you looked to Nesta you saw she was fuming. Her fists were curled at her sides, her face set in a grimace.
As you rushed to stand by her side you heard voices but were blocking them out, trying to calm down. Nesta turned to you. She looked as if she were asking permission to scream at the female, maybe even punch her if it came down to it. You steeled yourself giving her a dip of your chin in response to the silent question.
And Nesta did not hold back. You almost felt bad for the female when she and her friends stormed off. Nesta turned back to you immediately apologizing. “Y/n I’m sorry but I couldn’t let her get away with that. She’s a fucking bitch and hasn’t been put in her place in a long time.”
You grabbed her hand. “Nesta, it’s ok. Thank you for defending me.” Nesta gently laid her hands on the sides of your face and placing a kiss on your forehead. “I love you.” You smiled at her, “I love you too. Now, let’s get lunch I’m starving.” She wraps her arm around your shoulder as you made the rest of the walk to the cafe.

New Year’s Meeting (Cardinal Copia x Reader)
Happy New Year! I really appreciate everyone's love this year for my writing. I haven't written much in the last few years and even though I have gotten rusty, you still enjoy when I write and I am so happy about that! This one is probably really cliché and maybe ever a little cringe, but I found it sweet nonetheless! That being said, please enjoy!
Words: 2428
AO3 link: here
Tumblr media
The New Year’s celebration was never taken less than seriously and every song and activity was planned and picked carefully. The entire day before was to decorate the main hall for the large gathering, splashes of gold and silver thrown around the walls and on tables running down the length of them, there to hold the food and drink that was then being made in the kitchen. Nobody was free from pitching in, including you. You had helped hang decorations and dress the multitude of tables, which took longer than it seemed like it would. And now, finally, it was time to enact the biggest party of the year at the Ministry.
Dress code wasn’t necessary for this gathering so you dressed casually, but with a little flare to make the outfit seem slightly fancier. You adjusted your clothing in your room’s full body mirror, checking to make sure everything looked perfect. With a smile you sat on the edge of your bed to put your shoes on, excited to get out and see the hard work you’ve done pay off. Walking out of your room and down the hall, the sound of people talking and laughing was loud and you knew there would be a big crowd. You round the corner and enter the main hall, eyes scanning the large swarm of people eating, drinking, and mingling to themselves.
Towards the head of the hall, you could vaguely make out the Upper Clergy members enjoying some food and drink together. Papa Emeritus III had returned from touring just a week before, and anyone who knows him knows he loves a good party. Papa Nihil was trying to talk to Sister Imperator, who was trying to talk to The Third, who was trying to tell a story to The First and Second. You shook your head with a smile, admiring how dysfunctional their little “family” was. It was honestly sweet to see them in the same place again after so many months.
At last, you spot your friends and approach them, one of your fellow siblings instantly handing you a drink. “It’s about time you got here! We’ve been waiting for an hour,” one of them said playfully, eying you up and down, “Although, I can forgive you this once. You look great!” You smile, taking a sip of your drink, “Thank you. I’m starving- is there any food left?” you asked. They informed you that there was plenty of food left, half of the people were too busy chatting and drinking to eat. Upon hearing that, you make yourself a plate and return to your friends. Your group enjoys friendly conversation while you snack to your stomach’s content, soon replacing your plate with another drink.
What was once background music had now become louder as empty tables were cleared out of the hall and the crowd began dancing to the beat. You found yourself letting go as you started to join along, swaying at first and then slowly gaining the confidence to have fun with it. Drink after drink, you and your friends danced for hours before you decided to take a seat, another conversation blossoming as you all took your place at an empty table. Admittedly, you weren’t ready for the incoming dialogue.
“So, who visited with family for the holidays?” asked one of your friends, the rest chiming in with ‘I did!’ but you remained quiet. It went unnoticed as they all exchanged details of their visits with family members. You slowly rose from your seat, steadying your swaying body with your hands on the table. “I’m going to the bathroom,” you announced, turning and stumbling away when they acknowledged this. However, the bathroom was not your true destination. You needed air, and to be honest you could stand to sober up just a little. You went upstairs, still hearing the buzz of the crowd and music beneath you, making your way to your favorite spot in the ministry- a beautiful balcony that overlooked the gardens. 
The location you expected to be empty, however, had a figure standing directly in the middle of it, looking out into the night with a soft expression. It was none other than Cardinal Copia, one of the most esteemed members of the upper clergy, holding a glass of champagne and looking out to the landscape. A small part of your mind told you to turn around and find another place to spend your alone time, but the larger and inebriated part of your mind let your feet continue in his direction. He didn’t notice you until you were nearly standing beside him, taking off his biretta and pressing it to his chest as he gave you a respectful bow, and you to him.
“Ah, hello, ” he spoke, his voice as soft as ever as he straightened up from his bow. When you tried to do the same, dizziness hit you for a moment and you stumbled, the Cardinal reaching out to grab your elbow and keep you upright. Once you were stable enough, you gripped the railing for the balcony and leaned up against it, looking out at the vast amount of foliage illuminated by the moon’s glow. It was stunning and you were lost in its beauty, forgetting to respond to the Cardinal completely. A smile formed on your face as you observed every little detail of the garden. The feeling of eyes piercing through you drew you out of your daze, causing you to look over at the man who was observing you.
“Oh, m’sorry. Hi, Cardinal,” you smile at him, your heavy head tilting to the side slightly. He gave you a knowing grin, returning his gaze to look outside before he spoke again. “I see you’ve been to the party downstairs, why did you leave?” You sighed and looked back out, this time up at the moon. You had nearly forgotten what made you leave the event early before it was mentioned. Shaking your head, you gave him a dismissive reply, “I uh, just wanted to go, eh, get some air.” Something in the air told you he didn’t believe a word. But he didn’t push, he just nodded.
“I see,” he said. You look back over at him, examining his side profile. His nose was the feature that stuck out the most- positively, of course. You’d never really observed the Cardinal, especially from this close. Of course, it was common knowledge that he was attractive, but your tipsy (drunken) state somewhat enhanced his beauty. He looked over at you, catching you staring at him. Before he could ask anything else, you quickly asked, “Why are you here instead of the- at the party? The rest of the upper clergy is there.” He thought only for a few seconds before replying.
“I don’t like being in crowds like that, all stuck together. It’s very uncomfortable, yes?” You nodded in agreement, understanding what he meant. “So, I came here. It’s a beautiful sight, is it not? Especially with the moon casting her light everywhere,” he looked enamored with the scenery, motioning to it with his hands. “Yes,” you said, “it’s really nice here. I like to come here to think.” Copia looked over at you, cocking one of his eyebrows up. “So that’s why you’re here, then? To think?” he asked. Mentally kicking yourself for saying what you were thinking out loud, you nodded your head.
The Cardinal put a comforting hand on your shoulder, rubbing it with his thumb. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but I am willing to listen,” he said and smiled softly. The tiny voice in your head tried to stop you from oversharing but his invitation to speak made you feel safe and, truth be told, you needed to talk about it. You took a deep breath and prepared to spill your feelings out to a near stranger. “Well, the conversation that blossomed before I left was about visiting family for the holidays,” you started, “and I didn’t. Everyone else did, so I just felt kinda… left out.”
“Do you not have any family?” he asked, immediately stammering to take it back, “Oh! I’m sorry, that is maybe too personal of a question.” He rubbed the back of his head, his ears turning a deep shade of red. A giggle meant to escape your lips at his reaction, but it came out louder than you expected… in the form of a snort. Embarrassment flooded your features as you hid your face with your hands, now laughing at yourself. Copia tried to hold his laughter in but ultimately failed, joining you. The two of you drowned out the thumping of the music downstairs and when your laughter subsided, you caught your breath and grasped the railing to steady your dizzy mind.
“It’s okay, I don’t mind the answer- ah, question. I don’t mind the question,” you said, wiping a tear that fell out of your eye as a result of your hard laughter. The Cardinal steadied his breath and looked at you with attentive eyes. “I don’t have family anymore,” you started, “they weren’t very happy with my life choices, so they cut me off.” Your eyes looked at the floor, suddenly feeling the effects of your feelings mixed with the drinks. “I am sorry to hear that, it is their loss,” he said, putting his empty glass on the ground and laying a hand on your shoulder. The current mood was so different from the previous one from a few moments ago. 
Tears welled in your eyes as you spoke again, “It’s alright. I normally don’t care but it’s a little difficult around the holidays.” Copia’s thumb rubbed your shoulder in an attempt to comfort you, offering you an understanding nod. “I know what you mean, it is difficult to be alone during this season.” You looked up at him, a sympathetic look on his face as he motioned to the tears flowing down your cheeks. “May I?” he asked, you nodding in reply. He held your face in his hands, wiping the tears away gently with his thumbs. The feeling of his gloves on your skin was oddly comforting. You found your head leaning into his touch and he kept his hands where they were.
“Aren’t the Upper Clergy like family to you? It seems like you never spend a day alone,” you mumbled the last part, not meaning to sound rude. The two of you held eye contact and though his face didn’t show it, there was sadness in his eyes. “While it is true I rarely have time to myself, inside I feel very lonely,“ he gave you a small smile before he continued, “and while they are kind to me in most regards, a real family is something I have always lacked.” Your hands reach up to his two that rested on your face, pulling them down and holding them. “I’ll tell you what, Cardinal,” you begin your proposal, smiling at the man in front of you, “we aren’t alone tonight. Please, tell me what you’ve been up to.”
His face lit up upon hearing your words, immediately taking the opportunity to inform you on everything he had been doing lately. From silly things his rats did that week to stressful situations he had to deal with keeping the Ministry afloat behind the scenes. You were never fully aware of how much his job had consisted of until now. He went on for at least an hour and you paid close attention the whole time, making sure to ask questions that he happily answered. By the end of the conversation, the humming of the music downstairs was drowned out once again by your laughter.
‘Anyway, that’s enough about me,” Copia said with a bright smile, “tell me about you.” You opened your mouth to talk but the sound underneath you subsided and a voice erupted from the speakers. “We’re going to slow it down before we ring in the new year- grab a partner for this next one,” the voice boomed, followed by the sound of a slow beat of a song beginning. You and Copia smiled sheepishly at each other as he held his hand out, bowing slightly. “May I have this dance?” he asked, stifling a laugh as you giggled and took his hand. He straightened himself and your arms found their way around his neck as he moved to hold your hips lightly.
“I still want to hear more about you,“ he said softly, his breath traveling the distance and brushing against your face. “Well,” you began, “I spent the last week mentally preparing myself for yesterday. And after I was done decorating for the party, I decided to unwind with a good book I’ve been reading.” He raised an eyebrow, clearly invested in what you were telling him. “And which book would that be?” he questioned. “Dracula. I’ve read it a few times, actually, but I always come back to it when I want to relax.” You thought your answer might bore him, but it was quite the opposite. His eyes gleamed as he excitedly told you it was one of his favorites.
Over the next three minutes, the two of you discussed Dracula and shared your opinions on the characters, soon being interrupted yet again by the booming voice from downstairs. “Get ready! The countdown is starting!” The horde of people in the main hall then began chanting numbers. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…
5
Copia smiled at you, averting his gaze back out to the balcony when he saw the way you were looking at him.
4
You lifted your hand to his cheek and moved his eyes back to yours, taking a lungful of breath.
3
“May I?” he asked, the red in his ears now traveling across his face.
2
“You may,” you said, leaning into his hand as he placed it on your cheek.
1
His lips crashed into yours as cheering echoed throughout the ministry. The kiss only lasted a short moment, but it felt like time had frozen for at least thirty minutes. When the two of you pulled away, you caressed his cheek and leaned in to hug him.
“Happy New Year, Cardinal.”
He returned your hug, rubbing circles into your back.
“A very Happy New Year, indeed. I would like to spend more time with you, if that’s alright.”
“I would love that,” you said with a smile. You had a feeling you wouldn’t be alone this year.
Have a great 2023! <3

Expecting Babies • Ben Chilwell
Being the head of a successful design company at only twenty-six is prodigious. Or at least that's what the newspapers write. Alexandra Brooks has everything in life. She built her entire empire on her own, starting drawing sketch after sketch in high school when classes got too boring. And she had done everything to pursue her dream, to live off her passion.
But for some time now something inside her has faded away, she can no longer find her place in the world and her passion seems to have abandoned her. She hasn't picked up a pencil for months now and deadlines are inevitably approaching. She needs new stimulation, new ideas to reignite the flame, but she doesn't have the energy to look for them. Her staff are giving her a big hand but even an untrained eye could tell that it isn't her in those sketches.
She can pretend so well that everything is fine though, continuing to attend dinners and events and more. Always with a smile on her face, always friendly with everyone. But all this also drains her last remaining energy and by now she struggles to even pretend to follow a conversation.
She misses something. She feels an emptiness inside that she cannot put a name to. Perhaps it's because of the sudden success she has had, she has not stopped since that day, always ready to release collection after collection and open locations in various parts of the country and take the good and the bad from everyone's press and support.
Yet she is surrounded by people who love her, who were there with her even before she became who she is today and who are now trusted people working with and for her. She really does have everything she could ever want.
Or maybe not.
-
"I want a baby" the first person she had admitted it out loud to had been her friend Ben.
They had met at the very beginning of both their careers, her company was looking for some well-known faces to start making themselves known around, and who else but a new rising football star? She was still quite young and he quite shy, but they had clicked right away. Alex liked to be at the forefront of her work and had often even found herself asking for the boy's opinion as a customer. The two had become fast friends, they supported each other and as soon as they had the chance they would meet up to spend time together.
"W-what?" the footballer had widened his eyes as he sat on her sofa that evening and looked at her as if she had suddenly grown a horn in the middle of her forehead. Yet she was so sure, that was the missing piece that would allow her to get her life back on track.
She had been thinking about it for a while and had even started doing her research, many nights ending up crying herself to sleep with the computer next to her, knowing how hard and complicated the matter was. But when she was around children she was a different person, almost unrecognisable. They were laughing and she was the happiest person in the world because she had been the one to entertain them; they were looking for her with their eyes and she was already watching them. But when they left, that feeling of emptiness returned powerfully.
"I don't want that from you obviously, relax" the boy seems to visibly relax and she doesn't know if the situation is more comical or something else.
"Sorry I-" the boy tries awkwardly but she stops him by shaking her head, she knows the situation is what it is and she doesn't blame him for having a small heart attack.
"It's fine, I don't want anything from you. I just wanted to make you aware of my decision as my friend"
"Thanks, I guess"
"Come ooon - she rolls her eyes pushing him by the arm - it's that catastrophic as a decision?!"
"No it's- it's unexpected that's all. I didn't think that-"
"What, that I wanted a family?" the bitter in her mouth as she utters those words lowering her gaze to his legs.
"No, that you wanted a baby so badly that you wanted one on your own" he admits and she feels one of his hands rest reassuringly on her knee, "I never doubted you'd be a great mother, just it's huge"
"I know. But it's what I want"
"Then you can count on me for everything. Well except for... you know..." Alex laughs and in that moment she starts to catch a glimpse of a not-so-distant light.
-
Well it turned out that light was getting further and further away. Up to that point she had gone through many interviews to verify everything there was to verify about her. She had been assigned to a social worker who for some reason had already made up her mind about the girl even before the first interview began: too young to know what she wanted out of life, too young to take care of a child on her own. Plus she had no family around to help and support her, or a boyfriend for that matter, and just knowing that she had all her friends ready for anything made her wrinkle her nose. On her side at that moment only the work and money factor.
She had said that there was no hurry, that she was still young and that there would be plenty of time to look for someone and start a family. But she hadn't exactly dismissed it, in the end after tears and pleading she had said it would be difficult and that she certainly wouldn't be the first on the list. Unlikely but not impossible, that's what she'd said.
And she had hoped. The first week she hadn't moved a second away from the phone for fear that if she called and didn't answer right away, the woman would be right in thinking she wasn't reliable. Then a month had passed, then two, and she just wouldn't check the phone anymore. It was hurting more and more and Alexandra was more and more broken.
-
The press had somehow found out about this period in her private life and there was no lack of daily articles. There were those who wrote that she couldn't have children because of who knows what rare disease; those who dusted off all her old relationships and wondered who had made her decide to end it with boys; those who praised her decision to give the unfortunate a chance; but there were also those who took it as yet another whim of someone who has everything and doesn't know what to do.
Suddenly everyone felt compelled to have their own say. Every newspaper talked about her, every talk show had a window to talk about the various aspects of the issue, her private life, analysing every smallest detail to confirm or not whether she was capable of being a mother herself.
And it didn't matter if alongside the negative comments there were also those who supported her, defended her and sent her messages about their own experiences. She couldn't take comfort from that, not if the negative was always there to remind her that she would fail.
"You have to stop watching this crap" the television suddenly turned off, allowing her to see Ben's figure reflected in the screen.
"Why, it's so nice to see how people support you" she says sarcastically, shifting her feet towards herself on the couch she's lying on, in an unspoken gesture of invitation for him to sit down.
Ben rolls his eyes as he sits down beside her, "They'll call, they'd be stupid not to"
"Ben" Alex huffs not wanting to hear the same speech again. She's not fit, they won't call, end of story. The sooner she puts her mind at rest, the sooner she can try to get back to her monotonous life.
"No, listen to me for once! Why on earth do you give more credit to those jackals than to people who know you?"
"Because-" she huffs, setting herself down and trapping her hair in a low ponytail, "because it's easier I guess. It's easier than facing the truth, of admitting I failed and climbed too high and... it hurts to fall" looking down to keep her tear-fogged gaze from showing, she twists her fingers to avoid bursting completely.
"Alex" she feels him slide closer to her, his arms wrapping around her as tightly as he can in that position, "I know how hard it can be not to listen to other people, but you have to. For your sanity. You know, you are well aware of the reason for your choice and even those who love you understand that. That's enough. That must be enough for you. And you must always keep that in mind in the dark times to be able to rise again"
"It's hard" her voice broken, still struggling not to give in to tears as his arms hold her even tighter.
"I know, I know. And that's why I'm here"
-
It's the middle of the night when the phone ringing jolts her awake, her heart pounding, her eyes can't even focus on who it is at that time and her brain struggles to line up the words she is hearing. It's a familiar voice though and it's as if she suddenly wakes up when she hears two words: baby girl.
"How soon can you be here?" the woman on the other end of the phone asks as Alex is already looking for her car keys and a sweatshirt to cover up. And her heart hasn't stopped pounding in her head for even a second, as with trembling hands she gets behind the wheel and arrives at the appointed location in less than half an hour.
The woman is waiting for her at the door and starts talking and explaining so many things that Alex has to concentrate really hard to put herself aside and listen to her. She is taken into a room and her eyes immediately catch a carrier on the table. She shakes hands with other people in the room but doesn't go near that carrier, almost for fear that they will scold her.
The woman who has been shadowing her up to that point however, smiles as she invites her to come closer and when she does, she cannot quite describe what she feels as she lays her eyes on that little girl for the first time. She covers her mouth with her hand to try to hide her excitement and emotion, her vision fogging up soon after. She touches her little foot covered by the onesie and a smile peeps out on the little girl's face in her sleep. And there a few tears fall.
In no time she finds herself back in the car, her head full of information and one more person in the passenger seat. She looks at her through the rear-view mirror, her small lips slightly wide open as she sleeps and a serene expression on her face. She is reminded of what she has been told by the social worker and a wistful smile paint itself on her face. If she stops to think about everything that has happened in such a short time she already knows that she won't be able to drive home, so she looks away and concentrates.
-
It's almost half past six in the morning when she arrives home. The girl has slept during the journey and Alex makes no secret of the fact that she has stopped a couple of times just for the sake of looking at her. When she arrives home she places the carrier on the kitchen counter and smiles still incredulous.
She picks up her phone and snaps a photo, destination Ben. Crazy huh?!, she texts him. He immediately calls her.
"What are you doing up so early already?" she asks curiously, the smile on her lips that the guy on the other end can hear just fine.
"Training. Where did you steal that baby from anyway?"
She laughs, before turning serious. "They called Ben"
"I knew it!" he shouts excitedly before groaning, "but I can't come, it's not fair"
"It's not like she's running away, you can just come later" in the distance there's a horn and Ben's breathy voice saying someone to wait a minute along with the jingle of keys.
"I'll bring dinner. I have to go now, Mason is getting tired of waiting"
"Have a good day, see you later"
"Alex" he calls her back before she can hang up, "I knew you'd make it"
-
The first day as foster mother had slipped through her hands amidst disbelief and things to sort out and calls to make and what to learn. Alex had tried to stay as calm as possible, to rationalise what she needed now that the child was with her to be able to give her what she needed. The notice had been short, almost non-existent, and she found herself without a supply of even the most mundane things like nappies to say the least.
She had organised promptly, unforeseen events were part of her job after all, and she hadn't let panic overcome her. She had assigned a few people from her staff to get her this and that, suddenly too nervous to leave the house. And by the time Ben arrives, the two of them are well and truly comfortable on the couch.
"Look at you" Alex smiles as he looks at her, a dreamy expression is painted on Ben's face as he silently walks over after putting the bags down in the kitchen.
"She's pretty isn't she?"
"Actually I was talking about you, all in full mum mode" at that point she's so sure she's blushing, she can feel the heat on her cheeks as his gaze burns into her so she lowers hers onto the little one in her arms adjusting her bib absentmindedly.
"So are you going to tell me her name or do I have to guess?"
"Right... her name is Dalia. She's two months old" Ben brushes a tiny little hand with one of his fingers familiarising with that name, seeming to study her in every detail and it makes her smile.
"Do you need anything? I guess you're going crazy with that perfectionist head of yours" she giggles shaking her head slightly, it's true she's already created a thousand different lists of things but she can't explain the calmness she feels at that moment.
"Like a cot?" the boy continues and she looks at him trying to figure out what he's getting at. When suddenly it all clicks.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing" he's quick to answer but his cheeky smile tells her otherwise. "Just a welcome gift from uncle Ben"
"Uncle Ben mh?" she looks at him as he walks away heading towards the exit, turning to give her a wink before disappearing behind the door. Alex lowers her gaze to the little one once more sighing, the smile that never left her face.
-
Alexandra is about to tear her hair out of her head. Today is one of those days, one of those days when everything goes wrong. Starting with the coffee spilled on her shirt, the meeting lasted longer than expected, her tolerance threshold that has now reached its limit and Dalia who doesn't want to calm down. The little girl has been crying non-stop for hours now and frankly she doesn't know what to do anymore. The screaming has become a background noise that she swears will lead to her screaming any minute now if it doesn't subside.
"Hey what singing contest did you sign up for mh?" in the typical one octave higher voice of someone talking to children, Ben comes to her rescue by taking her into his arms and taking over in cradling her. He too has fallen in love with the little one and is one of the many people who is always there to help her no matter what she asks or what time she calls him. He said from the beginning that he would be there for both of them and so he was. Alex in return stayed up all night making little Dalia a mini version of Ben's favourite outfit, enjoying the look on his face as he realised why she had requested he wear that particular outfit that day.
Alex scoffs as she looks up from her phone screen for a moment to give him a look before setting it down on the sofa where she is sitting. Their gazes cross for a moment and Ben tries to send her a reassuring smile. He can see how tired she is, how much of herself she is putting into each day to do her best both at work and in her personal life. And some days are harder than others, he knows that; that's why it's necessary to have someone by your side with whom you can share everything, because worries or even a simple thought if kept to yourself can weigh like a boulder.
"You're doing fine" he tells her then but it's obvious from her body language that she doesn't believe him.
"Really? Tell her that, maybe she'll stop screaming like a demon"
"Do you really think it's just your problem? Kids are fussy, you're not being a bad mother" the boy's words seem to hit her hard and he immediately regrets it seeing her lost expression. He would like to make it up to her but doesn't know how and so silence falls.
"She's not mine" Alex sighs, she's actually been trying to put that concept together for days but never seems to have the courage. She knows that if she thinks it, if she admits it out loud then everything will be even more true and she won't be able to put it in a corner anymore by trying to pretend nothing is wrong.  
"Not being bound to her by blood means nothing"
"It's different, she... I have to compromise with the fact that sooner or later I will have to give her back. I'm just a vessel for her now"
"Okay I'm not getting it" his gaze is lost as he studies her as if just staring at her could make him understand everything.
Alex sighs following Ben with her gaze until he sits carefully beside her, Dalia finally exhausted struggling not to close her eyes in his arms. "She needs surgery, a routine operation among newborns nowadays the social worker said, and there are good doctors here. Her parents couldn't afford the trip so they handed her over to them who called me that-that I'm basically just..." Alex shakes her head taking a deep breath trying to make that boulder she feels in her throat vanish.
"And I'm already scared shitless because I'm already attached to them and... what if something doesn't go right? What do I know about surgeries and important decisions to be made and aftercare and all these responsibilities... I'm just a temporary mother after all"
"That's not it. You are the one who will change her life, who will allow her to grow up and do everything she wants out of life. You are not just a passing person in her life, you will be the one she will always remember because thanks to you she will have another chance"
Tears begin to roll uncontrollably down her cheeks and she does nothing at that point to stop them, only lowering her head hiding them with her hair. She feels Ben at her side stand up and so she plays with her hands at least until she feels a pair of arms wrap around her firmly and a pair of lips leaving a kiss on her hair.
"It'll be alright, I'm here with you for everything"
"This is not good. This is something I've wanted to do myself and yet I realise I can't do it. I mean you're always here and I panic immediately when something happens and you're not there and-and... what kind of person am I?!"
"Alex listen to me" Ben pulls away slightly moving his hands to her cheeks, "you are a scared person, I dare anyone not to be in this situation. And I'm here because I want to be here okay? No one is forcing me. I love you Alex and everyone needs a shoulder to cry on"
"Are you my knight in shining armour Ben?"
"Whatever you want" the girl closes her eyes as Ben's forehead comes into contact with hers, enjoying that quiet moment as long as she allows herself to.
-
"She's so small" Alex murmured, watching her sleep peacefully in her cot after the day they had had. It had been a day of hospital check-ups and she had never felt so useless in her life. She wanted them to finish as soon as possible so as to put an end to the many needles and tests they were subjecting the baby to, but that day they would decide on the final date for the surgery and at the same time, needless to say, she wanted them never to leave that room again.
She had wanted to go alone to the meeting, Ben had been willing to accompany her as always but Alex had been adamant. It was something she had to do alone, her and her baby. And frankly, she still didn't know where she'd gotten all that courage from, all that strength in watching or asking the doctor questions about the procedure and all that. She'd collapsed as soon as she'd set foot in the house and Ben hadn't left them. He is there beside her now, curious about the doctors' decision but at the same time not wanting to push her to talk if she isn't ready.
"In five days she is going to have surgery. Hopefully she should only be in hospital for a few days, I don't know"
"We'll take it day by day, no need to plan everything"
"How can I do that?" she moans with her face half hidden in his chest.
"Of course they picked just the right person for this" he teases her receiving a pinch on the arm and the desired effect.
-
Five days have flown by in the blink of an eye and those chairs in the hospital waiting room cannot be more uncomfortable. She is surrounded by the most disparate people, someone has recognised her but no one has approached her. Every time she looks at the clock it seems that time slows down more and more and she has tried to distract herself but her attention span is minimal, it takes very little for her mind to fly to the little one and the operating room and every little thing that could go wrong.
She kept in touch with the social worker who alerted the parents, she really did everything she had to do and was twiddling her thumbs when she felt a sensation she hadn't had for a long time but had become familiar with lately. Before long she was in the room with her pencil and notepad, starting to draw lines and compose, continuing to bring her new project to life.
When the doctor finally arrives in the room looking for her, her body immediately tenses up. Her legs are heavy as a stone and her throat is dry; getting up is a struggle. But she feels a sudden rush go through her body when the doctor tells her that the surgery was successful and as soon as the little girl is settled a nurse will take her to see her. The relief is so great that she collapses into tears immediately afterwards, causing Ben to worry on his way back from the coffee machines.
And her heart tightens when she can finally see her, still full of wires and from a distance, but at the same time she is relieved to see her there and proud of what she is doing for her.
The next few days are exclusively for her, if she has learned anything since having Dalia with her it's to trust others more and to delegate. Taking time for her away from work helps her a lot sometimes. When she brings her home it's like the first time, she is always there staring at her; she is almost afraid of holding her too tightly and hurting her or that she won't eat enough and won't heal as she should. But the check-ups reassure her about everything, the little one is strong and her life will certainly be better from now on.
This means that the day of her departure is inevitably getting closer and closer. She knows, she knows it cannot last forever, but when she gets the go-ahead, the world collapses on her. Planning everything and starting to put away the many things the little one has accumulated in the meantime is hard, choosing what to give her and what to keep is difficult. But she will probably end up sending everything else to her via the social worker.
She would really like to find a way for her memories of that time to remain with the little girl forever. But she is young and Alex knows that she will never remember that experience, unlike her who will never forget it. She will never forget those eyes and her giggle and all the times she ended up splashing her during bath time or the times she had to hurry to get her to eat; always so needy.
The clock is ticking too fast for her liking and the day of departure comes overbearingly. She loads everything into the car, tricking her brain into thinking about a business trip, starts the car and is almost tempted to take a wrong turn and delay the inevitable. But then a quick thought goes to the parents of that little girl who haven't seen her in six months and who have been through as much if not worse than her in that time and she takes the right road.
She stays there with her as long as she can but at some point she gets brave and says goodbye to her one last time before leaving that facility, the sooner she cuts loose the better. But the little girl starts crying when she hands her to the social worker and Alex looks at her begging her to calm down so as not to make things even more difficult.
When she gets home she can't hold back her laughter when she sees Ben sitting on the steps of her house, waving at her hinting a smile. She parks before opening the front door and once inside safe from prying eyes, wraps him in a hug.
"I miss her already" he admits, hiding his face in the crook of her neck. Alex sighs, it hadn't been easy for him to say goodbye to her the night before either. What was supposed to be her experience had soon become a couple's experience and thinking back she could never have done it without his support.
"I'll get a dog next time though" she murmurs and he chuckles, his hands sliding over her cheeks in a rather familiar position in those last few months.
"One day Alex, you will have your baby. And that baby, that baby will be so lucky to have you as their mother"

I'm kinda slow to process some jokes and i zone out a lot since I like to be on my mind and because my sleep schedule is messed up. I like listening to my friends talk!!

I think that's it, have a good new year and a good day ♡ 👧
hi! thank you for participating :)
i ship you with sansa!
especially in the later seasons, she became a lot more reserved. i think she’d need someone calm and on the quiet side, someone to keep her company. i think she’d be afraid to get involved with anyone, especially after all that happened to her. but i think she’d be drawn to you. you’d remind her of home, and quiet peaceful evenings she had as a child, maybe with her father. it would be one of the things she missed most, even when she returned to winterfell, and you’d be a small piece of the life she used to have. you’d be an instant comfort. you being quieter, she’d have to be the one to approach you first. you’d intrigue her, and she’d find herself doing things to spend time with you. you’d warm up to each other fast. you’d be an excuse for her to get away from her responsibilities so she could be with you. you’d know how to comfort her when she needed it, and she’d feel comfortable talking to you about anything she needed to get off her chest. she just wants to be in the north with her people, separate from the rest of the world. she’d be content to do that with you, it would be so easy. she’d love talking to you, telling you stories or explaining how her day went, appreciating that you were actually listening.
she had to grow up so fast, she’d be such a different person compared to the girl she was before she left winterfell the first time. you’d understand that, and she’d know that it didn’t bother you. shed have a much sharper tongue, able to stand up for you or correct a situation if she needed to. she’d seek you out during the day, wanting to sit with you while you read or did your art. she’s quite the artist too, making her own clothes. you could sit together and work on your projects, either helping each other with them, or just being content enough to work in peace next to each other.
maybe one day, she’d be sitting with you, telling you about home. somehow, you’d get to the topic of sweets.
“lemon cakes are my favorite. i miss the way the cooks made them when i was young.”
you’d pretend to like cake, and she’d be absolutely appalled once she found out you don’t actually like it.
“what? how can you not like lemon cakes? that is absurd, we have to make them now.”
you’d spend a day in the kitchens, making her laugh and smile. she wouldn’t even care that you’d scrunch your nose up at the taste when they were finished, just happy that she got to spend the day with you.
“i may not like cake,” you’d say, resting your hand on her arm. “but i do like your dress. you’ll have to show me how you made it one day.”
she’d smile, happily agreeing to.

🙋‍♀️🖤🤍💛🌸 Love Profusion, 1/2 (Adorney) - Veronica
A/N: So, I began writing this fic to fill the ”protest” prompt, but because it’s me, it got longer and longer and now it’s two parts and the protest is in the second part. It’s coming, though!!
The other challenge I gave myself was to use as many of the pride prompts as I could. This one has joy, parade, party, first kiss, and lust. Also I’m back to my beta whore roots, so I have to thank @m8existing @artificialcandycane @winterboxx and @petitmonde
Summary: Courtney loves pride. Here’s why.
***
For as far back as Courtney could remember, pride was one huge party. Even when she was a kid, tagging along with her brother to whatever family-friendly events existed at both Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and Brisbane pride (and, a little older, when he would sneak her into the clubs to watch his drag shows), it was a day of celebration and fun and rainbows. 
People, especially her more radical friends, liked to talk shit in recent years about pride becoming too “corporate,” but there was something secretly enchanting to her about walking into Target and seeing huge rainbow flag displays. She didn’t like to say it out loud, because she knew she’d lose cool points, but it was true. The fact that business saw them as a group worthy of financial exploitation, just like every other demographic? It felt good. And a big change from how she remembered her childhood, when kids would snicker and spit out the word “gay” as an all-emcompassing insult—and just because it usually had nothing to do with being gay, not really, it still stung. When her grandmother would ask her brother if his boyfriend was his “special friend” and the woman her aunt had been living with for 25 years was referred to by everyone in the family as her “roommate.” Whatever switch had occurred in society to make “gay” go from something secret to a successful marketing strategy—-she may have had issues with capitalism, but that switch made her feel great. 
So Courtney loved pride and everything about it: the dancing, the music, the general air of joy and camaraderie and freedom. She had her first kiss with a girl at one of those first Mardi Gras celebrations: she was 17, marching in the parade with a group of people from Vanity’s club. Covered in glitter from head to toe, a little dizzy and tired from the blazing sun, sparkly rainbow tinsel woven into her hair, sweating off the makeup that Vanity had so carefully applied that morning. It was near the end when she’d spotted April: a girl in cutoffs and a cute asymmetrical haircut, who she was certain she recognized. After a few seconds, she realized why: April had gone to her high school, and had graduated a few years back. She’d been incredibly popular—Wing Attack of their senior netball team, and house captain. Despite Courtney being in that same house, she knew there was no chance that April would remember her. If she did, it couldn’t have been favorable—an awkward pre-orthodontic kid in year 9. Regardless, she’d taken a deep breath and approached, happy to step into some shade for even a few seconds even if it ended awkwardly. 
“Hi, you probably don’t remember me, but-” 
“Courtney, right?” 
“Yes!” Courtney exclaimed, unable to hide the utter thrill of being recognized by a girl so cool, so badass, so…well, sexy. April gave her a wry grin and then reached into a cooler, pulling out a peach iced tea and offering it to Courtney. 
“Here, you could probably use this,” she said, and Courtney reached forward gratefully to take the icy-cold bottle. 
“Thank you so much!” 
“Anytime, Courtney,” April told her with a wink, and then Courtney was overcome by an urge to kiss her. 
If it had been any other time, any other place, she’d probably have fought it. But this was Mardi Gras, and so…what the hell, right? She stepped forward, taking April’s face in her hands, hesitating for just half a second so that April had time to pull away. But instead, she grinned even more, tilting her head and letting Courtney plant a soft, quick kiss against her mouth. 
It felt like her heart might burst from the sheer joy and excitement of it all, but Courtney managed to contain her glee enough to rejoin Vanity, who hadn’t moved ahead terribly far at all. 
Another year at Brisbane pride, when she’d grown even bolder, she’d spent the whole night making out with a stranger on the dance floor of The Beat in the wee hours of the morning. She never did catch the girl’s name, but would think of her occasionally on particularly wistful nights, and send out loving energy for her into the universe. 
She’d even met her girlfriend at pride, a few years after she moved to LA. Somehow, she’d gotten separated from Bianca and Willam, but instead of stressing, she’d begun wandering around the festival, stopping at any booth that looked interesting…sampling food, taking pamphlets, signing petitions, just absorbing the love and good vibes and community spirit as best she could. 
Adore was sitting at a fairly plain-looking table, with a banner that read “Mermaid Trans Femme Youth Support Network.” Her hair was dyed pink and aqua, and she had the most mesmerizing eyes that Courtney had ever seen, ocean-blue, framed by stunning winged eyeliner and colorful shadows applied with a masterful hand. And the most kissably full lips, the matte lipstick that Courtney could never pull off an enticing cherry red.
When Courtney realized, from the amused expression on Adore’s face, that she’d been staring slack-jawed at her for way too long, her cheeks immediately reddened. 
“Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m a bit pissed and I think I just…uh…” 
“It’s cool. I’m half in the bag myself,” Adore giggled, holding up a flask emblazoned with the trans flag. “So…do you want a flier?” 
“Oh, um…I’m not trans,” Courtney said, then immediately winced, worried that she’d put her foot in her mouth. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I mean-”
“I’ll try not to hold it against you,” she joked. “But, no, I was just thinking…’cause my number is on the bottom.” 
“Oh,” Courtney blinked a few times. Oh. 
The grin that spread across her face must have been unmistakable, because Adore smiled back, adding, “Or, in about 20 minutes, my shift here’s ending. Maybe you wanna hang for awhile?” 
“Okay!” Courtney exclaimed, not bothering to hide her eagerness at all. At the time, she would blame it on the alcohol, but looking back, it was probably just Adore. 
Adore, who would quickly prove to be just as charming and funny as she was beautiful. They spent the afternoon wandering around, talking about anything and everything under the sun. They realized that they were both singers, both recording under different indie labels, and although their styles were extremely different, they had a lot of overlap in the music they loved. They’d almost crossed paths before, too, a couple of times, since they had a few friends in common: maybe had been at the same party or club together. 
When Courtney realized that she’d heard some of Adore’s music, and pulled out her phone to prove that she had in fact favorited one of her songs a few months ago, she noticed the flood of messages from Bianca and Willam. 
“Shit!”
“Everything okay?” 
“Yeah, just…my friends are raging because I haven’t answered their texts,” she said. 
“Blame me,” Adore said, with a flutter of lashes, the shimmery makeup around her eyes catching the evening light in a way that felt literally magical. 
“I plan to,” Courtney laughed, scrolling to the bottom, reading only the last two messages before shooting off her own. 
BIANCA: BITCH YOU BETTER BE FUCKING DEAD THAT IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE FOR THIS
WILLAM: Ur so rude. We goin to head to Ds without u
COURTNEY: I’m sorry! I met this girl and
WILLAM: lol
BIANCA: SLUT
COURTNEY: She’s just so amazing! I’m gonna come find you, where are you?
WILLAM: Palihouse but we’re leaving soon. Be outside the lobby ASAP
Courtney looked up at Adore and asked, “Wanna come to a house party in the hills? We have to book it though.”
“Hell yeah!” Adore said, “Lead the way!”
Courtney took Adore’s hand and the two of them hurried down Santa Monica, dodging people, at one point nearly body-slamming some strung-out gogo boys. Turned out, Bianca and Willam took longer to make their way out of the Palihouse than they’d intended, so they had plenty of time to collapse on the curb outside and catch their breath. 
By then, Courtney was pretty much head over heels, falling harder every time Adore opened her mouth to speak. They pretty much ignored everyone else at the party (which Bianca would take issue with the next day but ultimately understand), so while most of the guests congregated around the pool and in the hot tub, they instead found a relatively quiet balcony off her home gym, sitting with a couple of beers, sharing a joint (well, Courtney took a few puffs, anyway), the conversation flowing well into the night. 
It wasn’t until much later when Courtney started to stress internally—was Adore even into her? They'd spent most of the day together. They’d talking about everything, including sex and the most intimate details what they liked in bed—and maybe Courtney was going through an exceptionally slutty phase, but usually by this point in a romantic interaction, she’d be sound asleep after multiple orgasms. Were they actually gonna do anything, or just talk about it? 
As usual, her lack of poker face must have given everything away, because the next thing she knew, Adore put a warm hand on her arm and asked, “Are you okay?” 
“Yeah!” Courtney insisted. “Sorry. I’m just, um…” 
“Yeah?” Adore drew closer, her head tilted, the glimmering rhinestones on her face dull compared to her eyes in the moonlight. 
“I…I really…like you…” she breathed. God, she sounded like an absolute wanker. 
“I like you too,” Adore said, one corner of her mouth turned up in a smile, her hand still against Courtney’s skin, fingers moving gently, giving her a rush of goosebumps. 
“I kind of…want to mess up your lipstick,” Courtney said, trying to salvage some dignity, if that was even possible at this point. “If that’s chill.” 
“It’s totally chill,” Adore said, her long lashes fluttering. “I was kind of hoping for that all day.” 
“Oh.” Courtney bit her lip, suddenly shy. “Well, then…okay…here goes…” 
“Are you gonna narrate the whole time?” Adore teased, and Courtney tried to give her a cross look, but the giddiness she felt at being so close was taking over, not letting any negative emotions through. Her Look ended up just being the same dumb grin she’d had all day, but with her eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Adore giggled, eyes still locked on hers, cherry lips parting slightly as Coutney closed the distance between them. 
She waited until the very last second to close her eyes, wanting to revel in her beautiful face for as long as possible. Her lips were exactly as velvety-soft and plush as they looked, and for a second Courtney thought she might literally swoon. 
What had begun soft and a bit tentative soon turned heated, tongues tangling together, both of them growing breathless. Adore’s fingers slid around Courtney’s waist, sending tingles all up and down her spine. When they finally parted, Courtney was panting, experiencing a high better than any drug. If Courtney wasn’t in love before that kiss, she was a goner now. 
By the look of the lipstick smeared over Adore’s face, she could bet that half of it was now on hers, and instead of being self-conscious about it, she felt a strange sense of pride. 
“Wow…” Adore sighed. 
“Yeah.” Courtney rested a forehead against hers, chest heaving. “You are so beautiful.” 
“Me? Have you looked in a mirror?” Adore asked, eyes shining. 
“Yeah, you,” Courtney repeated. “You’re like…a goddess.” 
“I…” Adore seemed all out of witty retorts, simply looking down as her cheeks darkened. 
“I’m serious.” Courtney tilted her chin up, placed another soft kiss against the corner of her mouth before adding, “Dead serious.” 
Adore leaned back in the lounge chair with a coy smirk, an impish look in her eyes. She still had one hand on Courtney’s waist, index finger hooking into her belt loop and pulling her closer. Courtney climbed on top of her, grinning like a loon, as she straddled her on her hands and knees. 
For a moment, as they gazed into each other’s eyes, it was like time stopped. The cute smile on Adore’s face faded, and she swallowed hard, then bit her lip. 
“Are you okay?” Courtney whispered. She lifted one hand to stroke Adore’s smooth round cheek. 
“Yeah. Just kind of…hoping I can live up to that last kiss.” 
“I guess we can try our best, right?” Courtney asked. 
Adore nodded, fingers digging a little deeper into Courtney’s waist. 
‘Live up to’ was an understatement—their second kiss was incredible. The way Adore held her, the way she whimpered softly when Courtney used her teeth to tug ever so gently on her bottom lip. The way her hips arched up, breathing growing ragged as her body molded against Courtney’s. Even the air, heady with flowers and the sounds of the party below, music drifting up to them in the breeze, made things more magical.  
Courtney was a little drunk and stoned, to be sure, but mostly she was high on Adore. Her taste, her scent, the softness of her skin, the rhythm of her hips—everything about her was utterly intoxicating. She stifled a broken moan as Adore’s hands slid up under her skirt, fingers kneading into her ass. 
She lost her wits rapidly, completely forgetting where she was as they panted into each others’ open mouths. When one of her hands moved across Adore’s breast, she made a sound—a desperate, broken moan that Courtney felt deep in her core, making her entire body tingle and ache. She circled the stiff nipple with her thumb, and Adore threw back her head, making that glorious sound again. Fuck.
“You like that, baby?” Courtney whispered, and Adore leveled a glassy-eyed gaze at her, eyes burning with lust, pupils fully dilated to the point where her blue eyes looked black. 
“Please.”
It was only one word, but it was enough to tell Courtney where the night might possibly be going, snapping her into sobriety for a second to ask, “Do you…want to go inside?” 
Darienne was cool, but even so, she would probably prefer that they not fuck in full sight of her neighbors. Adore nodded, chest heaving, each breath straining against the buttons on her top that Courtney couldn’t wait to tear open. 
If you asked Courtney later, even the next day, she would admit that she had no actual memory of how they managed to find Darienne’s guest room on the top floor, because she was pretty sure she didn’t know that room existed before that night. But necessity, as they say, is the mother of invention, and Courtney’s aching need for Adore’s bare skin against hers was bordering on life or death at that point. 
Once inside, they were like a couple of ravenous beasts, tearing each other’s clothes off before they even got to the bed. Courtney pushed Adore backwards by her hips, knocking her off balance as she toppled onto the bed, never letting go, taking Courtney with her. 
They rolled around breathlessly, getting tangled in the covers until Courtney had the wherewithal to shove them aside. Remembering her earlier response, Courtney kissed a wet trail down her jaw, neck and throat to her chest, then sucked a nipple into her mouth, her hand kneading Adore’s other tit gently as she writhed and moaned. 
“God, fuck, keep…keep doing that,” Adore panted out. 
“Mmm,” Courtney hummed, and Adore immediately let out another moan. 
“Courtney…fuck…” Adore’s hips were rolling furiously, her thighs clamped around Courtney’s narrow hips like a vice, both of them grinding like their lives depended on it. They still had their panties on, and it was becoming painfully obvious that the thin cotton barrier wasn’t doing much. Courtney’s had been soaked through for ages, and now that Adore’s cutoff shorts were flung aside, she found herself wanting to explore her even more, to discover every part of her beautiful body, sliding her hands down. “Wait-” 
Courtney stopped, looking up at her. “Are you alright?” 
“Yeah, I just, um…I probably can’t get hard right now, but-”
“Okay. Do you still want to-” 
“Yeah! I mean, yeah,” Adore panted. “Keep going. Please” 
Courtney continued to kiss down her chest and belly, hooking her fingers into the side of her panties. Even though Adore had told her earlier what she liked, and confirmed it just then, Courtney paused before sliding her panties down to ask, “Is this okay?” 
After a vigorous nod of consent, Courtney continued, sliding them down, finally seeing all of her. She ran her hands gently up Adore’s thighs before slowly taking her soft dick into her mouth, swirling her tongue around, watching her hands turn to fists as she clutched at the sheets. 
“Is this good?” Courtney murmured, and Adore arched and moaned, a strangled ‘yes’ just barely discernible. She hummed against her again, and the writhing in response gave her all the motivation she needed to keep going. She reached up to toy with her tits, alternating between licking and then gently sucking her dick until Adore came with a series of broken moans. Courtney pressed hot, wet kisses up her body until they were once again face to face. 
“Jesus Christ,” Adore said. 
“Wow, forgot my name already?” Courtney quipped, pretending to be offended, and Adore chuckled weakly, running a hand through her hair. 
“You fuckin’ nerd.”
Courtney giggled, snuggling up against her, face tucked into her neck, inhaling her scent as Adore traced lazy patterns on her sweaty naked back. Courtney almost didn’t notice when her hips began to move again, rutting against Adore’s thigh as if her body had a mind of its own. Adore noticed, though, a sleepy smile spreading across her face. 
“Let me help you,” Adore whispered, fingers teasing the edge of Courtney’s panties. 
“Yes,” Courtney nodded emphatically, raising her hips just enough to let Adore’s hand inside. 
“God, you’re so wet,” Adore breathed, and all Courtney could manage was a whimper of agreement as long, graceful fingers found her clit. 
She was already close, and it seemed like within seconds of Adore toying gently with her—first tapping lightly and then rubbing circles and figure eights—she was coming with a gasp, body shuddering with pleasure before every muscle turned to liquid. She melted against Adore’s body, trying to catch her breath. 
Her eyelids felt heavy as she searched for Adore’s lips in the dark room. They hadn’t bothered to turn on a light, and blackout shades effectively kept out the lights from the party downstairs. It was like a perfect little cocoon, nothing but body heat and shared breath. 
They must have dozed off, because the next thing Courtney knew, she was roused awake by Adore shifting away from her. She lifted her head and rubbed her eyes, immediately disturbed by the loss of her touch.
“Sorry, did I wake you?” Adore whispered. She was half out of the bed, legs swung over the side. 
“Where are you going?” Courtney asked, trying to keep the panic and disappointment out of her voice. They’d only known each other twelve hours, so she certainly had no right to be this clingy, this upset at the idea of Adore leaving her. She reached for anyway, though, adding a pathetic, “Don’t go.”
“No, I just…I haven’t had a cigarette all day and I kind of wanted…” Adore trailed off, looking at Courtney’s anxious face, eyes then drifting down to her outstretched arm. “Or…I guess I’ve been trying to quit anyway.” 
A happy grin spread across Courtney’s face as Adore crawled back towards her. 
(Months later, Adore would joke to their friends that Courtney “made” her quit smoking, which Courtney adamantly denied, explaining, “I just didn’t want you to leave…”) 
Courtney wrapped her arms around Adore’s warm body, nuzzling against her, thrilled to have her back. If she’d been more awake (and sober), she might have been concerned at how obsessed she was with this girl already. But since she was still rocking a healthy buzz, all she felt was contentment and happiness. 
“We do have to find another way to solve my whole oral fixation though,” Adore mused. “Any ideas?” 
Courtney lifted her head, giving her a wicked smirk. “As a matter of fact…” 
***
Sometimes Courtney marveled at how easy it was with Adore; their lives seemed to blend together almost seamlessly. They skipped the casual dating phase completely, and soon enough, they were all but living together, with Adore sleeping over Courtney’s place almost every night. Courtney met Adore’s family, getting the necessary stamp of approval from her mother, and even their careers benefitted: Courtney’s manager recommended a much better booking agent for Adore, and one of Adore’s producer friends recruited Courtney to join a fledgling podcast company, something she took to like a pro. 
Courtney’s friends loved Adore right away, and Adore’s friends welcomed Courtney with loving, open arms. Maybe more importantly, they all liked each other, and pretty soon every party, every brunch, was a happy mix of people from both of their lives, to the point where they sometimes forgot who met who first. While Courtney was packing to visit her family in Australia for Christmas, the thought of separation weighing heavily on both their minds, Adore bit the bullet. 
She took Courtney’s hand and blurted out, “We should move in together!” 
“What?” 
“I mean…do you want to move in together?” she revised, giving those puppy eyes that Courtney could never say no to, even if she wanted to. 
“Yes!” she exclaimed, jumping into Adore’s lap and smothering her face with kisses. “Yes, I would love that! I love you…” 
It was beautifully fitting that pride was their anniversary. In 2014, they celebrated one year together, marching in the parade with Adore’s trans support group, both of them decked out in mermaid finery.
(“GAG,” Bianca said when Courtney told her the concept, but she’d relented and made their costumes anyway the second Adore batted one lash.) 
In 2015, Adore was finally starting to see real money from her music, getting bigger and better gigs—and even a mini-tour across the Pacific Northwest in March and April. Courtney’s podcast had taken off too, and before looking for a nicer apartment, they opted for an extra-opulent pride month. First, they did LA pride with all of their friends as usual and then, 2 weeks later, they flew to San Francisco to do it all again. In a wonderful and magical coincidence, they happened to be strolling around the Castro, fingers laced together, when they heard screams and cheers from Midnight Sun. They ducked into the historic bar to find a jubilant celebration underway: the Supreme Court had just handed down the landmark decision to make same-sex marriage the law of the land. 
In the midst of the crying, the hugging, the squeals of delight, Courtney managed to get her arms around Adore, hugging her waist from behind, forehead pressed to her shoulder. Adore sighed happily and turned around, tipping Courtney’s chin up for a slow, lazy kiss. 
“This is fucking cool, huh?” Adore said, once they separated. 
“Really fucking cool,” Courtney agreed, arms still securely around her waist, heart light and happy. She was surprised, actually, how incredible she felt. A handful of states, as well as a bunch of countries, already had gay marriage. For awhile now, it hadn’t felt to Courtney like an urgent fight—at least not the most important fight, when plenty of places had much bigger battles, and when her own girlfriend’s identity was constantly being vilified. 
But it really was magical, causing tears to well up in her eyes and filling her with hope that she didn’t even know she was missing. 
“So…” she said, biting back a happy grin. “What do you think? Wanna get married?” 
“You mean like now?” Adore said, taken aback. 
“Not like today,” Courtney countered, suddenly worried that she’d come on too strong. But they’d been together for two years—and living together for the majority of that time, she reasoned with herself. It’s not like this was an insane, out-of-the-blue discussion. 
“Okay good,” Adore breathed, looking a bit too relieved for Courtney’s taste. 
She scrunched up her face, saying, “Wow, thanks.” 
“No! I just mean because like, I feel like we’re too young to even think about that!” Adore said. 
“I’m 31,” Courtney reminded her, “And you’re 27.” 
“Exactly! Infants!” Adore gave her a lopsided smile. The kind that usually charmed the pants off her. But today somehow, it was losing its luster. “Do you really want to be a child bride?” 
Courtney rolled her eyes. “Nevermind, Adore. Forget I said anything about it-”
“Don’t be mad,” she implored. 
“I’m not mad,” Courtney said. And she wasn’t. It wasn’t as if she was dying to get married; she’d just gotten caught up in the moment. A triumphant, wonderful moment that she was determined to still enjoy. 
“Well…” Adore twirled a lock of fading lavender hair, biting her lip. “I do think…like, hypothetically, that if I was gonna get married…” 
Courtney looked back up at her, a breath catching in her throat as her eyes met Adore’s. 
“...I’d definitely want it to be to you.” 
“Yeah?” Courtney felt any residual irritation dissolve as a smile pulled on the corner of her mouth. 
“Fuck yeah.” 
Courtney leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on her lips. “Me too. Hypothetically.” 
She let the conversation go, for now, simply enjoying the magical day. After all, it was pride, and Courtney wasn’t about to let anything ruin it, especially not a non-argument like that.
***
The next year, Adore was on tour during all of May and June. Courtney flew to Austin to surprise her for an early anniversary celebration, and Adore responded by pulling her up onstage to join them for a few numbers, much to the delight of the crowd. 
Afterwards, in the hotel, Courtney emerged from the bathroom wearing nothing but her favorite strap-on and a smirk.
“Hey,” she said, leaning against the doorframe. 
Adore sat up in bed, her eyes widening with delight. “Hiii.” 
Courtney giggled, lashes fluttering, and sauntered forward. “Ready for some fun?” 
“Always!” Adore simpered at her, head tilted. 
Before they met, Courtney hadn’t been that interested in dildo play. She’d always had plenty of great sex without any toys whatsoever, and if she was gonna get (or give) technological help, nothing beat a simple vibrator. 
When Adore suggested the strap, at first Courtney had been a little offended. Was she not capable of pleasuring her girlfriend without a dick? She figured that wearing it would make her feel like an imposter, like she was trying to be a man. Like she’d be proving fucking Freud and his stupid theory about penis envy right. 
She could not have been more wrong. 
First of all, the dildo they’d chosen while wandering through the Pleasure Chest looked nothing like a dick. It was pink and purple, sparkly, and glowed in the dark. It was ribbed, and came with both a removable bullet vibrator and piece on the end that pressed against her own clit when she used it.
Most important, it made Adore tremble with pleasure, allowed her to fuck her girlfriend silly while her hands stayed free to roam around her body. She could look into her eyes or kiss her while she came, and that was the best fucking part. 
There was also, somehow, an energy shift in the room when the dildo appeared. It made even the laziest kisses, the most delicate cuddling, feel more charged. So even as they kissed, as Courtney removed her clothes, worshiping every part of her with her mouth, her hands, she knew that Adore’s attention was always at least partly fixated on the strap between her legs, eyes dilating every time she gazed down at her.
Eventually, Courtney knelt over her on the bed, barely touching her, as she squirmed and panted heavily below. She then trailed one finger up her thigh, parting her legs with zero effort. She let her eyes travel up and down Adore’s body, leaning over slowly as Adore whimpered, knowing what was coming. She tormented her for a few more seconds until finally sucking one erect nipple into her mouth. 
“Fuck,” Adore groaned, arching up, hands threading into Courtney’s hair. In no time at all, she was writhing and begging for more. 
After giving her an indulgent smile, Courtney leaned over and growled, “Turn over,” directly into her ear. 
Adore complied immediately, with a whimper and zero hesitation. Courtney pushed her hair out of the way, kissing the back of neck, hands wandering over her body, squeezing her perfectly round ass. Her mouth traveled down her spine. 
Courtney lubed her up generously, feeling flutters of her own cunt pulsing beneath the strap as Adore pushed her ass up, letting Courtney stretch her as she panted into the pillow. She was so needy, so desperate, that Courtney was tempted to take her like this, from behind, face buried in her hair, hands reaching around to toy with her perfect tits. It would be good, Courtney knew, but what she really wanted was to look into her eyes. 
However, that didn’t stop her from teasing, from pressing the dildo against her as she ran her slippery-with-lube hands all over her body, fingers circling her nipples, one hand reaching down to her girldick to stroke her, Adore’s whimpers growing more pleading, more urgent, with every second. 
“Baby, you feel so fucking good,” Courtney whispered into her neck, then tapped on her hip gently. 
That was all it took for her to flip back over eagerly, drawing her legs back. Courtney smiled at the sight, then gave her a deep, wet kiss, tongue plunging into her mouth, teasing her hole with just the very tip of the dildo. 
“Fuck me, please,” Adore begged, fingers digging into Courtney’s shoulders. 
“You sure you’re ready?” Courtney teased, knowing full well exactly how ready she was. 
Adore’s response was a choked whimper, which turned into a satisfied moan as Courtney pushed the dildo slowly inside her, pressing kisses to her open mouth. Before she even began to roll her hips, Adore was arching up against her. She shifted her weight to bear down, slowing the rhythm, every thrust of her hips met with increasingly desperate whimpers. 
As Courtney trailed her fingers up Adore’s body, thumbs circling her nipples, her whimpers turned to moans. 
“I love you so much,” Courtney said. 
“Love you,” Adore echoed, head thrown back , eyes squeezed shut. 
“Are you gonna come for me, baby?” Courtney asked. 
“Uh huh…fuck…” 
Adore’s nails raked down Courtney’s back and dug into her ass, making her shiver as she picked up the pace, fucking her deep and hard, swallowing her moans with open-mouthed kisses. Courtney wasn’t sure who came first, but her hips kept moving until they’d both collapsed in a sweaty, satisfied heap, sheets tangled beneath them. 
“You’re so beautiful,” Courtney murmured, before pressing a kiss to Adore’s temple, arms still wrapped around her waist. As hot and sweaty as she was, she didn’t want to let go. Ever.
Courtney loved pride for many reasons, but that year, that pride in Austin, would always go down as one of her favorites. Especially considering what came next.

Christmas Dress
Tumblr media
(look i know this scene is hella old but so is my love for this man and it’s this look that continued to haunt me even when I wasn’t actively simping for him, it deserves to be here)
Summary: Well.... He gives her a head. That’s it. That’s the story. 
Warning: Smut, obviously. 
Words: 2k
Masterlist
Note: HEAVILY inspired by Green Green Dress. Because apparently all it takes for me is one musical and I’m back on my hands and knees for him. Also big thank you to my ride or die squad for not shaming me about any of this. 
-----------
“I checked on the internet and if there’s no traffic, we should be able to stop by at the shop and get the tea set for your aunt before they close and then we can go straight to the party.” The beginning of his sentence was a bit muffled, as he had started to talk long before he even got to the vicinity of the bathroom. “I guess that would be better than gifting her a liquor set again. Life’s already rough, no need to make it even more difficult by turning her into an alcoholic,” he pointed out as he simply opened the door without knocking and leaned against the doorway.
“You’re my saviour. I kept reminding myself to stop there every day so often that the thought just ended up being completely blacked out,” she sighed and turned her head to the side to look at him. He was already all dressed up in his fancy trousers and shirt that had almost got burned because he was watching the news while ironing it. His lips were curled up in a smile and he didn’t bother to try to make it look as if he wasn’t looking her up and down. Smiling, she gave him a little spin.
“Thoughts?”
“Honestly…. “ He ran his hand through his hair and let out a puff of breath. “I don’t think I’m capable of forming up any…. That’s one hell of a dress.” A soft, flustered chuckle escaped his lips. “It’s new, isn’t it?” The question was pretty much unnecessary. He already knew the answer really well. It must have been new because there was not a chance that a memory of her wearing this would ever slip his mind. The way it hugged her figure and the subtle slit near her thigh made him feel a bit too hot in his cotton shirt. It was by all means a family party friendly type of dress, very elegant, too. If all his thoughts weren’t gone, he would maybe try to figure out what exactly it is that makes it so damn appealing.
“It is,” she confirmed with a nod. “I told you I got it last week. Offered to show you, actually, but you turned me down.”
He pierced her with his eyes and then motioned his hands towards her outfit. “You talked about Christmas dress. Not this.”
She laughed and motioned her hands towards the fabric as well. “That’s exactly what it is. Doesn’t this shade of green scream Christmas to you?”
“Christmas trees, gingerbread, bloody Santa Claus, elves, and reindeers. That screams Christmas. This is screaming something completely different,” he said, making her laugh. He shook his head and turned around on his heel with a sigh. “I am gonna go check the website one more time to make sure I read the closing hours well and then we can go if you are ready,” he decided and rather made his escape.
She heard nothing from him for the next few minutes while she was finishing up her make-up. Then suddenly, the sound of his thumping shoes got closer and closer. “I am all done!” She let him know loud enough as she turned the light near the mirror off. “We can go,” she assured him with a smile when she saw him standing in the doorway again. “You’re kind of blocking the way right now, babe,” she chuckled and looked up at him once she had approached him.
He wouldn’t step away. The only move he made was settling his hands on her hips, his fingers stroking the velvet under his thumbs. “I kind of don’t want to go right now,” he confessed, making her rather confused.
“What? Why? You should have told me that earlier. I wouldn’t have promised that we will come to the party.”
“No, no, no. The party’s good and settled. I almost burnt my shirt for it, we are going.” He nodded his head seriously. “I am just not so keen on the last-minute Christmas shopping anymore. I’d rather spend the time doing something else…”
“Oh. Like what?” She raised her brows at him, pretending that she did not notice one of his hands slowly sliding lower down her side.
“Well…,” he said with a little smile. It was uncertain whether that smile was caused by gazing into her beautiful eyes, of course, or rather the fact that he finally found the skirt’s hem and he sneaked his hand under the fabric.
“You look absolutely irresistible in the dress,” he hummed and leaned to kiss her. “And it’s making me feel some kind of way,” he confessed after another quick kiss, his hand already lifting the skirt up on one of her sides. She gave him a look, not a dismissive or annoyed one. More than anything else, it was leaving a question hanging in the air without using any words. Yet he seemed to understand her perfectly. Almost as if she was telling the words ‘are you serious?’ and ‘you really want to do that now?’ right into his ears.
“I already tried giving myself a time-out in the cold air,” he defended himself, lifting one of his hands to point somewhere behind him. “Didn’t work.”
“Yeah, I figured that one out.”
“See.” He grinned at her and bowed his head to place his lips on the exposed skin of her shoulders. “Stunning AND smart. Can anyone really blame me?” He wondered playfully and smiled against her skin when he heard her giggle.
This seemed to be going well until the moment when she made him lift his head and looked into his eyes. “I spent way too long on this make-up and hair to get it smudged or ruined just for a quickie.”
An almost defeated sigh left his mouth. “That’s… fair.” He nodded his head a few times in acknowledgement. “Therefore, I offer to make it my responsibility and personal aim to leave your styled hair and beautiful face untouched.” He moved his hand from under her dress and held it out between them to shake. “Do we have a deal?”
She stared at him for a moment before finally shaking his hand. “I suppose we do.” Triumph was written all over his face then.
“But I swear to God, if I will have to re-do it, there will be consequences. I will….” He didn’t get to hear her threats as she stopped mid-sentence once he propped her up into his arms. His hands held securely on her ass when he carried her over to the desk in the corner of their bedroom.
Her eyes widened in worry when she heard the noise of something hitting the floor. “Just the cup of pens. Nothing got broken,” he quickly tried to calm her.
Standing between her legs, he hiked up her skirt and then grabbed on the waistband of her tights. The ordeal of taking them off turned out to be significantly more difficult than he had expected. She shut his annoyed question about why she was even wearing them down by reminding him that the temperature outside was just barely above zero.
“Stop. Stop.” She put her hand on top of his suddenly, making him freeze in his spot.
He blinked surprisedly for a couple of times but nodded and retrieved his hands from underneath the fabric. “I am not really sure what happened,” he confessed, “but I guess I am sorry….?”
“You were gonna rip them!”
“Off of you, yes, that was kind of the goal, love.” His eyes moved away from her face. He smiled as he got to see her squirm the tights down her bum and then lower down her thighs where he was ready to help her again.
The realisation that it was not just the tights that he was pulling down hit him only once he saw her panties in his hands.
“We don’t have that much time,” she reasoned simply with a little smirk when he shot her a look.
Truth be told, he needed little encouragement to drop down on the chair in front of her to begin with, but hearing her say that, especially with THAT expression, did fasten up the process.
He forced the skirt of her dress all the way up so it wouldn’t be in the way. His arms wrapped around her thighs in order to bring to the edge of the desk so that she would be closer to him. He kept holding onto them, his fingers drawing small patterns into her skin as he kissed her inner thigh. To her dismay, the feeling of his lips and his tongue seemed lighter the closer he got to her core. The moment she raised her voice for a protest, he took a bit of her skin in between his teeth in a nibble. He took turns kissing and gently biting on her thighs, refusing to leave even just an inch of her soft skin untouched. Just when she reached to brush his hair out of his face, his tongue flicked over her clit and she squirmed, pulling on his hair slightly. He looked up at her with a small smirk tugging on the corner of his mouth. He watched her own mouth fall agape as he dragged his tongue over her core, finally getting a proper taste.
She closed her eyes, ready to simply enjoy the thrilling and wonderful feelings of pleasure he was bringing to her. Listening to her body, paying attention to every buckle of her hips and every little noise she let out, he made sure to follow her instructions and wishes. There were just the tiniest differences between the ways she gasped for air or pulled on his hair based on whether she needed more of a certain sensation or if it was a bit too much. Yet, he somehow managed to learn to read them all. For this reason, it didn’t take long for his tongue to pick up a reasonable pace that was just RIGHT. It was exactly what she needed, and he very much enjoyed giving her just that.
His hands gave up on trying to hold her down in place. She rolled her hips against him as the tension in her body rose higher. There were times when he had joked about his favourite place being between her thighs and they both laughed it off. During moments like this one, however, when he couldn’t help but groan against her, they both realised it might have been more than just a joke. She closed her thighs around him in a desperate need to keep him as close to her as possible. He didn’t protest and just dug his fingers a bit harder into her flesh. She could feel him groan into her lap once more and the pleasured hum he let out next sent shivers down her spine.
She attempted to open her mouth and let him know she was going to come soon, but nothing more than a shaky breath came out. The message seemed to be understood just as well, though, and she soon came undone under the rhythmical swirls of his tongue around her clit. As her grip on his hair began to loosen, he gradually slowed down his pace to a full stop.
“Fuck,” she gasped a little when his tongue touched the over-sensitive bud a moment later when he worked on cleaning her up.
“Sorry,” he hummed out and placed a soft kiss higher in her lap. A couple of other kisses near her thighs and stomach followed, which caused her smile to grow even wider.
He loved seeing her happy and smiling like this. Especially when he knew he was the source of that.
“You look like a mess.”
“Do I?” He wondered, using his hand to wipe his chin and licked his bottom lip, still tasting her on it. “That’s a price I am more than willing to pay, I think. It was very much worth it,” he decided while standing back up. He watched her face closely for a while, making her raise her eyebrows in a question.
“I kept my part of the deal,” he then informed her with a smirk. “What are the consequences of this, then?“

Demon Bros React: MC Defends Them From Nasty Remarks
Warnings: Explicit language, MC being mildly violent (throwing/kicking things).
Lucifer
Lucifer had just finished some paperwork for Diavolo and was on his way to R.A.D to deliver it.
In the hallway he could hear two demons talking and laughing. As he got closer he heard them say "Lucifer" and instinctively ducked into a nearby alcove.
"Lucifer's such an asshole." "I know, right? He acts like he's so much better than the rest of us when really, he just has a huge stick up his ass. It's no wonder he doesn't have any friends. Even his own brothers don't like him!" "He'll probably spend the rest of his life being Diavolo’s little bitch."
He would be lying if the comments didn't make him angry. But it was far from the worst thing he had heard about himself and would definitely not be the last time someone spoke ill of him.
With a weary sigh, Lucifer turned toward the south entrance where he could walk in order to avoid the demons. He could have strode past and glared at them menacingly. He could have made them grovel on their knees. But he was honestly exhausted and looked forward to this day being over as soon as possible. Plus, it would reflect poorly on Lord Diavolo if he started a fight with some lesser demons over this.
Suddenly, the chatter of the demons was interrupted by a loud thumping sound followed by the sound of one of the demons screeching in pain.
Lucifer quickly turned around to see- Oh no. You were standing in front of the demons, rage clear on your face. The demon who had yelled in pain was crouched on the ground holding his bruised shoulder. A History of the Devildom textbook was open on the ground, pages crumpled.
Did you... did you just throw a textbook at a demon?
Before he could even move, he heard your angry voice. "Listen here you fuckers. How dare you talk about Lucifer like that. He's one of the kindest, most intelligent, most thoughtful beings I've ever met. And you have no right to speak of him like that! I love him!"
Lucifer's heart burst at your declaration, his cheeks warming in pleasure. The two demons however, who had been gaping at you in shock, were now beginning to look murderous. The injured one stood up and slowly inched toward you, a vicious grin on his face. "Oh, is that so? And what the hell is a weak human like you going to do about it?"
You opened your mouth to speak but before you could say anything, Lucifer picked you up and threw you over his shoulder. "Love, I appreciate how you stood up for me. There's not many people who have done so for me before. But any more would cause trouble. And also, please don't throw textbooks at others, no matter how much you think they deserve it."
With a smug smile on his face, Lucifer began to walk toward the dorms. You, however, were struggling to turn your head around, still yelling and pointing angrily at the demons. "This isn't over! Sleep with your eyes wide open! You'll be hearing from my lawyer!"
He really did love you.
Mammon
Mammon was at the casino on a Monday night. It was lively as always, crowds of people playing group games and others drinking and mingling.
But for some reason, Mammon felt like being alone. He was in one of the more quiet corners, playing the slot machines.
He honestly should have been back at the dorms doing his homework. He was here because he felt like he had to, but his heart wasn't really in it. Mammon thought about packing it up early and texting you to see if you wanted to hang out.
The sudden sound of glass shattering broke through his thoughts. There was some sort of commotion going on and Mammon could hear angry yelling and cursing, some kind of argument.
Like many of the other customers, Mammon drifted toward the noise wanting to see what had happened. His heart sank when he saw you in the middle of the crowd, still in your R.A.D uniform, arguing with an older demon who Mammon recognized as a regular. They had played some games together before that always ended in angry accusations. The remains of a drinking glass lay shattered on the floor.
Mammon quickly rushed to your side. "MC, what the hell are you doing here?! What happened?" Up close he could see how livid you looked, you were trembling with fury.
The older demon opened his mouth while gesturing at his ruined clothes. "This bitch threw a drink at me! I should have them arrested! Do you know how much this tuxedo costs?" Ignoring him, you turned to face Mammon.
"Mams, Lucifer told me to check up on you and you weren't answering my calls. So I decided to come in person to make sure you were okay. But then I heard this asshole saying terrible things about you to his friends, calling you a liar and a cheater and all kinds of horrible names that you're not!"
Mammon was shocked to see you were struggling to fight off your tears, your lower lip quivering. "I know how caring and genuine and loving you are and I couldn't stand by while he said those things about you! None of it’s true!"
Overcome with emotion Mammon embraced you fiercely, shielding you from the other demon. "Oh, babe. Ya really are a special one.” Mammon gently stroked your hair and whispered in your ear. “I don't care about what he said, but thanks for sticking up for me. I love ya so much."
"Now let's make a run for it so that demon doesn't kill us."
Leviathan
Levi was slowly getting used to being in a relationship with you in public. At first, interactions were limited to the privacy of his room: cuddling and watching movies, gaming together, reading manga together. But now he looked forward to waiting for you after classes and walking home with you while holding hands.
His face got really red and he had a hard time making eye contact with you but still, he thought it was an improvement.
Right now he was waiting for you outside your classroom, scrolling through his D.D.D to kill time. Suddenly, he heard someone call your name.
“MC, you’re dating Levi right?” At the sound of his name he peeked in the window to see you cornered by three demons. He saw you nod. 
The demons began to barrage you with questions. “Why are you with a loser like that? Doesn’t he like never leave his room?” “He’s honestly the ugliest out of his family. I don’t believe that Levi and Asmo are related.” “You don’t actually find him attractive, do you?” “Are you with him ‘cause he’s like the easiest to control?” 
Each word felt like someone was piercing his heart. These were all things that he had thought or wondered himself, days when the darkness seemed to win over his mind. But to have them spoken out loud, especially in front of you, it was unbearable. It was as if his lowest and most shameful thoughts were being justified.
He was afraid to hear what your answers would be. Biting his lower lip, Levi turned to head home by himself but flinched at the loud sound of something slamming into the wall. He peeked inside the window again and saw you standing there, furious, your hands clenched into fists. You had apparently kicked one of the desks into the wall, black scuff marks clearly visible against the white paint.
“Alright, listen here you despicable fucks because I’m only going to say this once. My relationship with Levi is private, meaning all of your questions can be answered with ‘none of your damn business’. But since you’ve gone out of your way to waste my time, I’ll let you know this: Leviathan is more beautiful, inside and out, than any of you will ever be in your entire miserable lives. I honestly don’t think you deserve to breathe the same air as him and I hope Levi summons Lotan to devour the three of you."
Levi’s jaw was on the floor. He had never heard you speak that way. He had never had someone defend him so fiercely. His thoughts were interrupted by the classroom door suddenly slamming open as you walked out."
“Oh Levi, tell me you didn’t hear anything just now.” Your eyes were wide and you looked at him nervously.
Levi grabbed your hand and held it tight between two of his own. “I did, but it’s alright. Thanks for what you said.”
“Anything for my Lord of Shadows.”
Satan
Satan was heading to the library, your usual after-school spot. Some days you two spent hours there doing homework, reading, or just chatting quietly about your day before heading to dinner.
As he approached the table he saw you sitting down with a stranger seated opposite you. Leaning closer he was relieved to see it was a classmate you were friendly with, someone he knew you hung out with occasionally.
Satan was about to say hello when he stopped at the mention of his name. "MC, are you sure it's wise to be this involved with Satan?"
He quickly ducked behind a nearby bookshelf. Satan usually wasn't one to eavesdrop like this but the question concerned him.
"MC, I'm asking you for your sake. Satan is dangerous. He's violent and cruel. There are rumors about him beating up other demons and doing horrible things to them. What if he tries to hurt you too?"
Satan flinched. Sure his wrath had led him to do some destructive things before, but it was never without reason. Is this how you saw him as well? His thoughts began to spiral. What if you grew scared of him? Of his wrath? What if you flinched at his touch? That would hurt more than any of the rumors that swirled about him. 
Satan saw you take a deep breath before speaking. "Well, I appreciate you talking to me about this. I know you meant the best and were just thinking about me. But I promise you, you have nothing to be worried about. Satan would never hurt me."
He saw your friend shake their head, exasperated. "But you don't know that! What if one day he can't control himself and has an outburst or something?"
You replied carefully. "Satan is gentle. Incredibly so. He always treats me with nothing but respect and kindness. And Satan's not some kind of monster. He knows how to control himself and his powers. I love him. I really do. And until he decides to stop loving me, I want to be by his side."
He saw your friend huff irritably and get up to walk away. "Suit yourself, MC. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Satan took this as his cue to walk over. Your eyes brightened at the sight of him and you started to ask him about his day, acting as if nothing had happened. Satan played along for a bit, but then reached across the table for your hand and began playing with your fingers.
His hand was shaking. "I'll never stop loving you, you know. For as long as I live you're the only one for me. I love you, MC."
Asmodeus
Asmo was thrilled when you said you wanted to go dancing with him because he was usually the one pestering you to do things. He was having so much fun with you tonight, twirling you around on the dance floor and marveling how beautiful you looked under the shimmering lights of the club.
He was beginning to feel a bit hot, however, and excused himself to the bathroom, making sure you were safe on of the couches with a bottle of water in your hand.
Asmo had just finished touching up his makeup and adjusting his outfit when he heard two demons near the entrance of the bathroom gossiping loudly about him.
“Did you see what he was wearing tonight? He might as well have come naked instead of wearing those scraps of fabric he thinks counts as an outfit.” “My friend slept with Asmo once. She said he’s super easy, he’s willing to pretty much sleep with anyone.” “I bet him and that human won’t last another week. Once he’s done with them he’ll trash ‘em and move on to the next one, like he always does.”
Being the Avatar of Lust meant that Asmo had heard these kinds of comments before, whispered in the hallways at R.A.D or the dark hallways of nightclubs. It never really got easier listening to them though, and he realized he was biting down hard on his lower lip, his nails digging into his palm. 
Asmo contemplated what to do. He didn’t want to keep you waiting by yourself outside but he also didn’t want to run into the demons talking about him. Their comments affected him more than he thought they would. Maybe it was because you were involved. He wouldn’t do that to you. You knew that right? He would never treat you like a plaything.
Taking a deep breath and steeling his nerves Asmo schooled his face into an expression of careless indifference. He took a step outside, ready to greet his "fans", but was surprised to see that you had gotten there first.
And what a sight you were. Despite being much shorter than the two demons, it seemed you were the least bit intimidated. Your glare was ice cold as you gestured wildly at the two of them, and moving closer Asmo realized you were screaming.
"How fucking dare you say such vile things? You don't know the first thing about Asmo. You're really going to shame someone for what they wear?! For what they do in the privacy of their bedroom?!"
You pointed angrily at the demons, who seemed too stunned to move or say anything. "People like you make me fucking sick. You're despicable! Talking as if you're so high and mighty when all you do is judge others! How dare you? You cowards!"
Asmo could see you were getting more and more enraged and your hands were beginning to tremble. He leapt forward to stand between you and the demons and put his hands gently on your shoulders. Once he saw that you were okay, he gave you a passionate kiss, his mouth hot and needy against yours.
You kissed him back for a moment but moved away to hiss, "Karens, Asmo! Karens in the fucking Devildom, who would have thought?!"
"I know, darling. Let's head home. We can have a nice, relaxing bubble bath together."
Beelzebub
Beel was looking through the menu, deciding between a couple of his favorite dishes. It was your one year anniversary and despite his insistent protests, you had remained firm in your decision to pay for that night’s meal. Ever since you and Beel began dating, he pretty much always paid for your meals together because of how much he ate. But tonight, you wanted to be the one to treat him for once.
Beel knew you had secretly been saving up Grimm and he’d feel so guilty if you spent it all on him. Which was why he was trying to decide between a couple of different things, when normally he would have ordered everything on the page.
“Babe, please order whatever you want. I can practically see the thoughts turning in your head. I told you that I wanted to pay for tonight and I’m going to keep that promise. I want this to be a special night for us, so don’t worry about it.” Before he could protest, you called the waiter over.
Beel sighed and knew there was no changing your mind on this. You were incredibly stubborn when you wanted to be. He rattled off his usual order as the waiter frantically scribbled down notes, struggling to keep up. Once finished, Beel handed over the menus and smiled at how cute you looked, a mixture of pride and smugness on your face.
But your expression soon turned sour as you heard the conversation from a couple sitting a few tables over. Their voices were intentionally loud and they kept sneaking glances at your table as if to watch your reactions.
“Oh my lord, honey did you see how much food that guy just ordered? What an absolute pig!” “I saw, darling. I honestly pity his date right now, they must be soooo embarrassed.” “Is there anyone who wouldn’t be ashamed to be seen in public with such a selfish glutton?”
Beel’s heart felt like it had sunk. Embarrassed? Was MC embarrassed to be seen with him? Panicking, Beel thought back to all of the dates he’d had with MC so far. He realized that they ate out a good majority of the time they hung out, with Beel eating his normal enormous portions each time. Oh no, what had he done?
Head bowed, Beel slowly looked up at you, afraid to see what kind of expression you were making. But to his surprise, you didn’t look embarrassed or ashamed at all. You looked like you were going to murder someone.
He watched as you cleared your throat and then began speaking even more loudly than the couple had been. “OH BEEL, MY HANDSOME, KIND, LOVING, STRONG, SEXY, TALENTED BOYFRIEND. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU’RE HONESTLY SO AMAZING AND ONE OF THE QUALITIES I LOVE ABOUT YOU MOST IS THAT YOU’RE NOT A JUDGMENTAL ASSHOLE WHO MAKES RUDE INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS TO STRANGERS ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE NONE OF THEIR DAMN BUSINESS!” 
Beel felt his lips inch into a smile and he flushed with amusement and happiness. But you weren’t finished just yet. “EXCUSE ME WAITER?” 
Your waiter practically ran to the table and looked between you two nervously, then at the couple glaring daggers in your direction. “COULD YOU PLEASE BRING US ANOTHER MENU? MY BOYFRIEND WASN’T FINISHED WITH ORDERING WHAT HE WANTS. OH BEEL, I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU EAT. HOW COULD SOMEONE BE EMBARRASSED OF A WONDERFUL GUY LIKE YOU?”
Beel took the menu and began listing some more foods at random, not really paying attention. He was too busy thinking about how much he loved you, how nobody aside from Belphie had ever stood up for him like that, had protected him like that. His cheeks felt like they were about to split from how much he was smiling.
When the waiter finally left, looking frazzled, Beel made his way over to your side of the table. He knelt down and nuzzled into your neck before giving you a tender kiss on your forehead. “MC, you’re amazing.”
Belphegor
Belphie had to admit, the gardens were a pretty nice place for a nap. Earlier in the day you had practically dragged him outside claiming that you were bored of sleeping in his room. As if that was even possible.
At first he was pretty annoyed that you were making him get up and move around. But the newly washed picnic blanket, the cool breeze rustling through the trees, and the light smell of flowers in the air all contributed to a very nice environment for a nap.
Belphie rested his head on your lap, already feeling his eyelids growing heavier. Your fingers gently combed through his hair, lightly scratching against his scalp, and he practically purred.
He guessed he had been asleep for about ten minutes when he awoke to the sound of your voice and something prodding against his knee.
Irritated at the disturbance, Belphie looked up to see two R.A.D students he recognized for always causing trouble. He looked over to see you scowling and guessed you had been telling them to leave so they wouldn't wake him up.
One of the students leered down, blocking out the light, and used the tip of his foot to poke Belphie's knee again. "Well the two of you make an odd fucking pair, huh?” He sneered, “Personally, I don’t date people who have MURDERED me in the past but what do I know? Love works in all kinds of mysterious ways.” You flinched as if someone had slapped you and Belphie growled, his hands curling into fists.
The other student leaned down to clap Belphie on the shoulder. “I gotta admit I didn’t know you had it in you, chief! I always thought you were...” He gave Belphie a once-over before adding “Well, everyone thinks you’re a bit fucking useless, eh? But I’m glad to see you’re capable of something.”
Belphie opened his mouth to reply venomously but was interrupted by the most horrifying sound coming from your mouth. It sounded like a combination of wailing and screeching as fat tears rolled down your cheeks. It was difficult to hear what exactly you were saying because of how hard you were crying, but Belphie could make out “How could you say that?!” and “Leave him alone!” among the screams. 
The two students had their hands over their ears, their faces twisted into grimaces of pain. One shouted, “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Worried, Belphie put a hand on your shoulder in an attempt to calm you down but you shrugged it off, continuing to cry and wail. Pretty soon other students began gathering around you, whispering amongst themselves and looking to see what all the noise and commotion was about. It was difficult to ignore you when you kept yelling things like “You’re horrible! Horrible! Leave us alone!” 
The two instigators looked at each other for a brief moment before deciding to run off, not wanting to get involved any further. And as soon as they left, it was like a switch had been turned off. You stopped crying and screaming immediately. If he hadn’t been there from the beginning, Belphie never would have guessed that you had been crying. Your face was perfectly calm and you sat relaxed with your hands folded, the picture of innocence.
“Belphie, don’t worry about what those two idiots said. We’ve talked about it enough and we’ve both worked it out, haven’t we? And you’re not useless. You know how much I love you and care about you. You mean so much to me.” 
Belphie leaned over to take your hand in his trembling one. He reached down to brush a stray leaf out of your hair before whispering, “MC, you’re fucking terrifying sometimes. I love you.”

I saw you wanted to write about Shigaraki!! Maybe a college au where Shigaraki is a little antisocial and he’s crushing on this really popular/well known girl at his school? He thinks he doesn’t have a chance with her but the girl actually has a really big crush on Shiggy :)
Thanks for being the first person to send me an ask <3 Sorry it took so long! This idea was so cute 😭😭 I know Shiggy would be super shy with his crush & it’s so adorable :’) I didn’t know if you wanted me to write anything super sexual so they just kiss in this BUT if that’s where we want this story to go I will be happy to write that hehehe.
@ anyone reading, my asks are open!! I pretty much don’t have any rules so go crazy.
Tomura Shigaraki had always been the odd one out in school. His skin condition combined with his shy and anxious demeanor automatically pushed people away from him since kindergarten. Children are so cruel, but can he blame them? It’s a biological instinct to stay away from people who look or act the wrong side of different. He knew that. After all, he’d been at the top of all his classes his whole life. Not having friends left Tomura with endless amounts of time for studying, though he barely needed it.
This didn’t change much once he went to college. His classes were pretty easy, just boring. He didn’t typically admit it, but Shigaraki was naturally much smarter than his peers.
The best part of his week, though, was his Tuesday/Friday engineering class. It was an intro class that was required for his degree, but it wasn’t the content of the class that intrigued him. It was this girl, this girl who was the complete opposite of Shigaraki. She was so open, so bright. Friendly and social with everyone, including the professors. Everyone seemed to love her, including Shigaraki. There was no chance she would even look at him though. The weird kid with the skin condition who always sat in the corner? That’s not the type of person she’d interact with. Much less be attracted to.
Even so, every class he made sure to pick a seat where he had a good view of his crush. She always got to class early to ask the professor for homework help, so when Shigaraki arrived, she was already seated. He sat near the wall most days, leaning against it with his oversized black hoodie on and wavy hair hiding most of his face. Throughout class, he stole secret, longing glances at her, barely paying attention to the professor. Thinking not about engineering but about spending time with her. Hearing her laugh at things he said, her leaning on his shoulder, soft hair tickling his rough, scarred skin. The way her soft lips would feel on his, how her curves would feel beneath his hands. It was too much for him,he was getting chills just sitting there thinking about it. But he loved getting lost in the fantasy of her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
She had a lot of friends, sure. They came easily to her. In every new conversation she had, she was able to create a personal connection. Networking was just everyday life to her, becoming each of her professors’ favorite student simply by coming to office hours and asking a couple questions about the picture of their family on their desk or the obscure painting hanging on the wall.
But one boy eluded her friendship. Tomura Shigaraki, the quiet boy in her engineering class.
It wasn’t that he was uninterested in being friends with her, she was just so intimidated by him. His all-black daily uniform, always with his hood up listening to music made it hard for her to even approach him. Of course, her finding him insanely hot didn’t help either. She didnt want the typical jocks or future MBAs who were always drooling after her.
Shigaraki was so different from them. He wasn’t loud or obnoxious, and she knew he was smart from how early he finished his engineering tests. She even liked his scars, though she knew they were from a painful skin condition. He was unique compared to everyone else at the college, and thats why she was draw to him. She wanted him so badly, all she would do in class is look at him and imagine running her fingers through his pretty, wavy hair, pushing it to the side to look into his intense red eyes. Wondering what it would feel like to have his mouth on hers, if his kisses would be sloppy and desperate or slow and sweet.
All she needed was an opportunity to talk to him and find out if he felt the same as her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Alright class, for this project I’m going to be putting you guys in randomly assigned teams. If you don’t like your partner, don’t come and complain to me. When you’re at a real job you’re guaranteed to be stuck with at least one asshole, so you better get used to it.”
Their engineering professor projected everyone’s partner on the whiteboard, and in a stroke of good luck, Shigaraki had been paired with the girl he’d been eyeing for the past couple of months. He was nervous as fuck, obviously. It was such an odd pairing that their classmates actually looked at them when they moved to sit with each other.
“Hey, Shigaraki, right?”
“Yeah,” he muttered, his cheeks already flushing. She was sitting so close to him that her knees were bumping his. He felt her warmth even through the two layers of jeans and it made it hard to focus on what she was saying, something about the project. He looked at the clock, noting that class was almost over.
“D-do you want to come to my dorm after class and we can work on it some more? It’s okay if you don’t…if you don’t want to, I was just thinking since it’s due by the end of the week…” Words were nervously coming out of Shigaraki’s mouth, he was trying to forget that he just asked her to his dorm.
“Yeah of course! I don’t have any classes for the rest of the day anyway so we can probably just get it all done tonight,” she replied, talking over his run on on sentences.
“Its okay if you don’t want to or don’t have time, we can always just work on our parts separa—“ He stopped abruptly when he realized she’d just agreed to go to his dorm.
“I’m really glad you’re my partner on this project, Shiggy.” She smiled at him and he had to look away. She was so pretty, he felt like he didn’t even deserve to be in her presence.
“I can tell you’re so smart, you always finish the tests first! And if I’m gonna be honest, I always have to ask the professor for extra help, I don’t get this class at all.”
All Shigaraki could do was blush and look at the floor, scratching at his neck nervously.
She thought he was so cute being all bashful. Maybe he acted like this with everyone, but she really was hoping it was because he liked her as much as she liked him. She was hoping they wouldn’t work on the project at all when they got to his dorm, in fact.
Shigaraki was mostly silent the whole time they walked to his dorm. His crush, on the contrary, kept talking to him about the most random things, asking him questions about what he liked to do and telling him about herself. He only responded in one word answers, scared to trip over his words again and embarrass himself even more. When they got to his room, they both sat on the twin bed, and Shigaraki’s face was starting to turn the same red color as before. He avoided eye contact with her and his scratching was getting more frequent.
“Why are you so nervous, Shiggy?” She asked him in a serious tone, abandoning her previous cheerful attitude. “Do I make you uncomfortable?”
“N-no, it’s not that, I just…”
She rubbed his arm gently, making him tense up at her touch, then relaxed and sighed, as if he was preparing himself for something.
He looked at her intensely through his hair, making eye contact with her for the first time in awhile.
“I know we don’t know each other but…but I like you a lot.” He quickly covered his face with both his hands, leaning his head back against the wall. He was afraid of her response, afraid she might think he was creepy. If she got uncomfortable and left he didn’t know what he would do.
“I like you too! I’m always looking at you during class, honestly.” She laughed, both relieved and still a bit nervous thinking of what to do next.
She gently grabbed him by the wrists and pulled his hands away from his face, shifting closer to him.
“Please dont feel nervous around me…” she said in a low voice, her face impossibly close to Shigaraki. His mouth was slightly open and his pupils were dilated, trying to take in all of her appearance. He realized her soft hands were still wrapped around his wrists, lightly stroking the dry, cracked skin there with her thumbs.
“C-can I kiss you?” When he asked her for permission, he made eye contact with her before casting his eyes down again.
Still holding on to his right wrist, he brought one hand up and cupped his cheek, forcing him to meet her soft gaze as she nodded in affirmation.
Their lips met, and it was better than Shigaraki had imagined all those days in class.
The way she felt on his lips was just like how she was, so gentle and soft. Caressing his mouth with her own, slipping her warm tongue into his mouth and sliding it along his.
She wrapped her arms around him, shifting so she was sitting on his lap. Shigaraki’s hands gripped the bedsheets as they moaned into each other’s mouths, finally experiencing their classroom daydreams.
Breaking the kiss, she gazed at Shigaraki’s slightly swollen lips, his messy hair, and the dazed, drunken expression she left him with.
“You’re so cute, Shiggy,” she murmured, stroking his hair gently.
He grabbed her wrist and pressed kisses on her hand, looking at her the whole time with soft yet lustful eyes.
“No, thats you,” he said between kisses. “You’re the beautiful one…” He mumbled the last part, still a little shy to confess his thoughts about her.
Blushing, she enveloped Shigaraki in her arms once again and hid her face in his neck. This time, he hesitantly put his arms around her too, hands roaming her back, memorizing her warmth and contours.
The rest of the afternoon they worked on the project, an unseen electricity between them present in each shared glance and accidental touch.
Shigaraki went to bed that night with his head filled with thoughts of her. Wanting to savor her and devour her at the same time. Replaying that day over and over, and hungrily anticipating the next time he’d get to be in her presence.

scenario: you start seeing Jon which leads to the two of you having to hide it from your family and especially Damian.
pairing: jon kent ( superboy ) x fem! reader
note: not checked for grammar or spelling mistakes / can you tell my kent family hyperfixation hasn't left yet? i swear it's becoming an issue lmaooo but this might actually be the longest fic i've written for this blog.
Tumblr media
you talked with your friends who you had snuck into the gala with. Rachel had begrudgingly agreed to come to meanwhile Cass and Steph were the only other ones who agreed to come on their own accord.
"Damian, your only friend is here," Dick said, earning a kick from his younger brother before getting up and leaving you and Raven alone. you knew it was a rare occasion that she even decided to show up so you didn't want to leave her alone. "we probably won't see my brother for the rest of the night. whenever his friend comes, it's like everyone becomes a background character. for him being my adopted 'twin' brother, I have yet to meet this friend."
Raven laughed as you saw the wine that the couple on the dance left on your table drunkenly. the bottle was little more than half-filled and you gave one quick look to Raven before pouring the wine into both of your glasses and discarding it right away.
"to not having fun for the rest of the night," you giggled as the two of you chugged the wine down in a mere few seconds, "drier than I thought it would be but it beats having to pay for it," Raven muttered as you agreed to sneak another bottle from the bartender so you wouldn't have to pay for it. even with your dad paying for all your necessities, the drinks at his galas were far too expensive for you to even willingly pay for them yourself. the only reason why he even paid for all your expenses was because you agreed to skip out on college to help run some parts of Wayne Enterprises with your brother.
another reason why you couldn't exactly go and pay for it yourself was because Bruce was not one to exactly be chippy at the idea of you getting plastered drunk at one of his public galas. "I got one of two ideas. one: I'll go flirt with the bartender and you can sneak behind him and get the other bottle or two: I can flirt with the bartender for enough time to see if he'll just willingly give it to us," you told Raven as she nodded with option two.
the bartender happened to be in his younger 50s. you recognized him from previous WE events and although he was familiar with your family, you doubted that he would say anything to your dad about you flirting him with. all you had to do was push the top of the dress down a bit and hike up the bottom to get his attention.
"hey Martin," you said, leaning up against the bar table and smiling, "enjoying the night?" you asked as you saw him flinch back in surprise. he nodded, trying to divert his eyes from looking at you in anyway you could have felt to be disrespectful.
"I was thinking, how much does the bottle of Lafite Rothschild go for?" you asked, giving him a pouty face. he gulped nervously, "almost ten grand ma'am," he replied, grabbing it from the wine stand, "even for me? I mean, my dad must've paid for it so does it even go for that much considering I am his child?" he asked.
you could tell that you had caught him in a predicament, "I would assume not, I assume you're twenty one, right?" he murmured, handing you the precious bottle. you smiled (a fake one that anyone could see through) and nodded before giving the old man a light kiss on the cheek, "thanks Martin, I appreciate it," you said, giving him a wave before leaving.
Raven perked up seeing the bottle in your hand, "snagged a ten thousand dollar bottle," you said excitedly as you waved it in your hand. Raven stared at you in shock, "you got a ten thousand dollar bottle in less than five minutes?" she exclaimed.
you giggled before whispering in her ear, "the benefits of being a child of Bruce Wayne is that you can practically get away with anything. especially when you're the daughter." you popped open the bottle as you handed her the wine glass and poured the drink with care. you gave her a slight cheers before taking a small sip and being pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as dry for a wine with a huge amount of alcohol percentage.
as the night progressed, you and Raven got actively more drunk. you hadn't realized how hard the wine had hit you until Raven was drunkenly getting pulled home by Gar as you sat at the table with a little less than the bottle still full. you hadn't seen your dad or brother all night and you figured they must've been pulled into doing Batfamily work at some point and left you alone with Steph or Cass. hell, maybe even Dick if he was still around.
you weren't actively apart of the vigilante work all of your siblings did but you did help them out with the technical parts of it when Tim wasn't available. you didn't really like fighting or risking your life so after you graduated, you interned at Wayne Enterprises under Tim's orders while Damian worked under your dad.
at the age of twenty-one, you still hadn't met most of the league for the exception of Wonder Woman and The Flash. the rest were strangers in your head and much to Damian's luck, he wanted to keep it that way. at least in his case with Jon.
"ow, I am so sorry," you slurred as you managed to hit someone on the shoulder. he chuckled seeing as how you were not attempting to get up, "you okay there ma'am?" the man with a southern accent asked. you giggled as you attempted to get up, "I'm ( your name ) and you are?" you asked.
"Jon Kent, pleasure to meet you," he said, kissing your hand. you blushed as you heard one of your favorite songs come through the speakers, "would you like to dance?" you asked, not even caring that you had met this just a few mere seconds ago. he nodded, figuring that since Damian left him stranded at the gala, he had nothing to lose.
the song 'telepatia' by Kali Uchis played throughout the ballroom. Jon immediately took the reigns as the lead as the lights got dimmer and you danced against Jon sensually. "what got you dragged here?" you asked Jon. "my best friend invited me as his plus one. you?" he whispered in your ear, "I work for the company so I kind of had to attend," you managed to say before turning around and facing him.
you looked at Jon with drunken yet loving eyes, "you're handsome, you know that?" you said with no hesitation in your face. Jon laughed, placing his hand on your cheek, "right back at ya, darlin'," he replied as the song switched to another one of your favorite songs.
side to side by ariana grande started.
you shrugged, feeling as though you had nothing to lose and got up on your toes gave Jon a kiss on his lips. he was slightly taken back but played it off by returning it. the two of you remained kissing through the entirety of the song until Jon felt a familiar tap on his shoulder.
"I gotta go but if you're up for it, I'd love for ya to give me your number," you nodded excitedly as you practically snatched his phone from his hand and typed it in as quickly as possible with your name having a hundred emoji's next to it, "text me in the morning!" you screamed.
Jon laughed before following Damian from behind, "you suck, you know that!" Jon exclaimed, "I meet one girl I actually like and you drag me away!" Damian rolled his eyes, "please, you act like there isn't more girls out there to hit on." this time, it was Jon's turn to roll his eyes, "I got her number so I guess that's a plus."
you woke up the next morning with a pounding headache but to a few messages on your phone. you smiled realizing that it was the boy you had met the night before.
"good morning...or actually good afternoon!"
Jon laughed from his side of the phone.
"good afternoon darlin'. I hope you had a good sleep."
you were texting your way down the stairs, greeting Alfred and Bruce before grabbing a plate of lunch and sitting down on the bar top. "what time you'd make it home?" Bruce asked, sensing the hangover you had. "a bit past midnight. drank a bottle of Lafite with Raven before dancing with a boy you invited," you said honestly.
Bruce felt himself go stiff at the admittance of you drinking the Lafite bottle but remained silent as Alfred placed Advil and one of your Gatorades next to you. "yeah, whoever must've danced with you last night must've been drunk too because you'd want to dance with you?" Damian said coming down the stairs.
you threw him a fork, Damian dodging it with ease, "I'd shut up if I were you. I'm actually getting coffee with the guy in like an hour," you replied, chugging down the rest of the food before getting up and going to your room, "yeah and I pray for the man who now has to deal with you," Damian screamed loud enough for you to hear.
you pulled on a skirt and tights before slipping on a sweater and fixing your hair and quickly doing your makeup. you grabbed the keys from your bag and took the back entrance to get to your car. one of the benefits of getting paid so much was that you were able to afford cars that were out of price range for a lot of people your age.
the coffee shop you decided to meet Jon at was a few blocks into the heart of central Gotham. you got a table farthest from the crowd as you didn't want any attention on you and your potential boyfriend. you saw Jon approaching at the front of the coffee shop and pulled on your sunglasses so no one outside could see who you were.
"nice to meet you, this time with me not being drunk," you told Jon, giving him a friendly kiss on the cheek, "pleasure is all mine sweetheart," he replied, putting his arm around your shoulder. you got up to the front of cashier and scanned the menu.
"I'd like a venti mocha with oatmilk, what about you?" you asked Jon as he scanned the menu nervously before muttering that he hardly orders coffee. you smiled, "and an order of a grande peppermint hot chocolate," you added on as you took your card out, Jon's eyes widening at the black American Express card.
"wow, Wayne Enterprises must pay you really well," he exasperated, "yeah, I guess you could say that," you said as hesitantly as possible. after the two of you got the coffees, you got back to the table as you took off your sunglasses in a sigh of relief.
"do you really wear sunglasses everywhere you go?" Jon asked. you debated on telling him the actual reason but decided on a vague answer, "eh, it's more for secrecy. I guess if I get another date, I might tell you the real reason," you winked, making Jon blush.

through the weeks, you decided to keep the biggest part of your life a semi secret to Jon still. he knew vaguely of a few things but one mistake on your end managed to throw all of that away in more ways than one.
you were walking downtown with Jon, his hand grasping yours as the two of you roamed an area of town that you knew didn't have major significance to WE. you were holding a coffee in one hand as you walked about a few things that happened to you that week to Jon. it wasn't until you walked towards a busy street that your heart fell to your stomach.
a huge billboard, like signs you would see on highways, of you and Damian representing Wayne Enterprises stood in the middle of an intersection. you stared at the ground, your one secret given away as Jon stared down at you, a look of shock in his eyes.
"wait, you work with Damian Wayne?" he asked as he could tell that you did not want to look at him. you sighed, a bit scared, "work partners might be a little too far from what we are," you gulped, finally realizing that you had to admit to your family ties.
Jon looked at you, now more confused than shocked.
what you didn't know was that at the same time that you were about to confess everything to Jon, a paparazzi had taken dozens of photos of you and Jon that were immediately uploaded to various Twitter accounts and gossip magazines.
"Damian Wayne is my adopted brother. Bruce Wayne is my adopted dad. that's why I have a lot more money than any regular Wayne Enterprise worker."
Jon immediately stumbled to the ground, not expecting that answer coming from you. you immediately felt tears hitting your eyes as you figured that maybe Jon didn't want to be with someone so rich and famous. someone's whose family was always in the spotlight.
"DAMIAN WAYNE IS YOUR BROTHER?" Jon screamed, catching you off guard as this was the first time Jon had ever screamed at you. you nodded, trying not to look at him in the eyes, "he's going to kill me. your entire family is going to plot my murder. I'm a dead man. Clark is going to find me in a ditch," Jon started talking to himself.
it was now your turn to look at Jon confused, "wait, what?" you asked, wiping your tears. "YOUR BROTHER IS MY BEST FRIEND. Damian Wayne is Robin and I'm Superboy!" he whispered the last part, "I've been dating my best friends sister this entire time without realizing it!" he screamed.
you finally connected the dots. every time Damian said he was going on patrol with Superboy meant that he was going to hang out with Jon and every time Damian said that Jon turned down a patrol session usually meant that you were going on a date with him. both of you stared at each other, not knowing what to say.
"small world, eh?" you asked, trying to defuse the tension, "guess we better figure out a way to tell them, huh?" Jon replied as you both heard your phone going off with texts and calls. you opened it to see that Dick, Bruce, Tim, and even Jason and Alfred were frantically calling you.
"hello, what happened?" you asked, picking up Dick's call. "GET HOME NOW!" he yelled through the phone as you heard Damian's screeching voice from the other side, "why? what happened?" you asked, staring at Jon now in fear.
"SHE'S DATING JON? I'M GOING TO KILL HIM BEFORE I KILL HER!" you heard Damian scream before something broke, "pictures of you kissing Jon came to the public on Twitter and he saw them," Jason said, half annoyed.
both of your hearts fell to your stomach as you realized it was now or never. everyone knew of your relationship and it wasn't even something both of you tried to do intentionally. you grabbed Jon's hand, yours shaking in fear as you got into the passenger side of his beat up red truck. he could tell you were beyond scared to go home and he now knew it was time. he had to man up before it got worse and you attempted to break up with him.
once you arrived to Wayne Manor, you sat still, not moving an inch. "it'll be okay darlin', I promise it won't be too bad," he murmured as he opened your door. you nodded as you hopped off and started walking towards the door.
you could hear Damian's yells still going on from the other side door as you opened it. you grasped Jon's hand and walked into the living space, Damian's eyes immediately looking at you before charging to Jon with every ounce of strength he had. Jason quickly grabbed you as Jon dodged him and Damian went straight to attack him again. you couldn't bare to look at the sight and felt tears spring to your eyes as you hid your face into Jason's side.
"hey, you okay?" Jason asked. he could see the tears in your eyes which instantly made him a bit upset. "enough," Jason screamed, catching everyone's attention. Jon and Damian saw the hurt look on your face and as soon as Jon realized you were upset at the fight he was having, he kicked Damian off of him and walked towards you.
he grabbed your hand and whispered an apology into your ear as he stroked your cheek lovingly, "I'm sorry dear but I wasn't expecting Damian to do this," Jon said as Damian watched the way Jon was treating you. a part of him knew that Jon would treat you right. Jon wasn't like your typical average boy but the fact that neither of you told him is what set him off and seeing you being so lovingly with Jon set him off again.
Damian ran towards Jon again but this time, you shielded him which made him stop immediately, "Damian, stop, please," you croaked. Bruce saw you trying to neutralize the situation and stood next to Damian, hinting at him to quit it, "I'm sorry we never told you but the reason why we never did was because we had no idea who the other was. I didn't know Jon was your best friend and clearly didn't know that he was Superboy and he had no idea I was even related to you nevertheless your sister. please, if it's anyone's fault, it's mine," you explained.
Dick, Jason, and Tim stared at Jon who grabbed your hand and pulled you to the side, "and I would have never made the move if I knew she was your sister but we fell in love and it was like a soulmate connection. we were meant for each other and I want her to be in my life. she's it for me," Dick sighed mesmerized as Tim and Jason gagged at the cheesy confession.
Damian growled, "if you even think of hurting her, Clark will be down one son and I mean it. that's my sister and no man will ever be good enough for her. you are my best friend and she might be a pain in my ass, she means the world to me. I will not hesitate to dig your grave and bury you alive if I see one tear of sadness coming down her face," Damian stated before hitting Jon on the shoulder purposely before walking away.
you smiled, your heart swelling at Damian's speech. he never once said anything like that about you and in his Damian way of being, you knew this was his way of accepting your relationship with Jon. you smiled at Jon before giving him a huge kiss on the lips, making your dad and all of your brothers gag at the sight.
"okay, save that shit for privacy, no one needs to see that," Jason said as he walked away. Bruce gave you one look before turning to Jon, "your father knows in case you were wondering but feel free to stay for dinner if you'd like," Bruce said before walking away with Tim and Dick walking away with him.
"I love you," you whispered to Jon as he let out a laugh against your lips, "I love you too and I'm all of this was cleared out." you nodded in agreement as you grasped his hand, "wanna come up to my room? I figured we should catch some sleep before Alfred calls everyone for dinner and Damian starts another fight," Jon agreed, giving you a kiss on your head as the two of you walked up the stairs.
