“Did you see the look on his face when you said you had a boyfriend?” Karina chuckles from the backseat of Jeno’s car.
The joke isn't particularly funny, but it's the combination of alcohol buzzing through her system and the late hour that has her snickering and laughing as if she's a comedian. Jeno can’t help but crack a smile either, not because he finds her humorous; but because his heart swells with pride knowing you turned down another guy because you’re his girlfriend. 
He doesn’t think he’ll ever get tired of saying that. 
“I know, he looked like he was about to piss his pants when he started apologising,” you add with your own cackle of laughter. “Priceless really, like a little dear in the headlights.”
Karina grins, leaning back into the middle seat. "I almost wanna feel bad for him, but then I remember he wouldn't take no for an answer until you mentioned Jeno."
You roll your eyes with a shake of your head, “That’s men for you.”
“Ugh! Tell me about it,” she rolls her eyes, “Men are so gross.”
Jeno looks through the rearview mirror and sees her scrunch her nose as a shiver runs through her body. “Hey now, I’m not gross.”
“Oh I know, Y/N tells us all about how cute the two of you are,” she sighs, “She’s managed to find one of the good ones, lucky bitch.”
You look over at Jeno when she says it, a smile on your face because she’s right. Lee Jeno’s the best boyfriend you’ve ever had. Just the right balance of sweet and smitten and passionate and protective. Even now, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other gently resting on your exposed thigh beneath your short dress, he had insisted on picking you up from the club even if it meant waiting up into the early hours of the morning. He just didn’t like the idea of you and your friend getting in a cab alone, drunk. Granted, you’re not that drunk, but Karina is. 
He is one of the good ones.
“You’ll find a good one too, Rina. You deserve it,” you assure her looking back to see her sitting with her arms folded across her chest. 
“Well wherever he is he needs to hurry up, honestly, I don’t know how much more I can take of shitty men chatting me up at the bar and trying to grope me. It’s nauseating.”
“They do that to you?” Jeno asks. You pull up to a red light and his eyes meet hers in the mirror.
“Sometimes,” she shrugs, “Honestly Y/N, I don’t know how you used to put up with it when you used to strip…” 
Karina's words trail off as she realises her mistake, her eyes widening in alarm. You go stiff in the passenger seat because you haven’t told Jeno about that. 
The jovial atmosphere in the car suddenly shifts, the air growing thick with tension as Karina's slip of the tongue hangs in the air like a heavy cloud. Jeno's grip tightens on the steering wheel, knuckles turning white. His eyes flicker to the rearview mirror, catching Karina's wide-eyed expression, and there’s a silent plea for forgiveness in her gaze.
Your heart pounds in your chest, and a rush of panic floods through you. For a moment, the only sound in the car is the dull hum of the engine and the distant echo of traffic outside. Jeno's jaw clenches, but it’s not out of anger, you’ve seen him angry and this isn’t it. If anything you haven’t ever seen him like this, expression unreadable, and you don’t know whether that’s worse.
"You... used to strip?" His voice finally cuts through the heavy silence. 
Your breath catches in your throat, as you struggle to find the right words to explain yourself. You open your mouth to speak, but no sound comes out. There’s a weight of guilt and fear pressing down on you like a suffocating blanket.
Karina shifts uncomfortably in her seat, her earlier confidence replaced by a palpable sense of regret. She opens her mouth to speak, but no words come out for her either. Her gaze darts between Jeno and you with a mixture of guilt and apprehension.
The remainder of the car ride was suffocatingly silent until the car pulls up in front of Karina's building, the engine cutting off with a final sputter. She hesitates for a moment, her hand lingering on the door handle as she glances between you and Jeno, unsure of what to say.
Eventually, she opens the door and lets herself out, but not before standing at the passenger window to mouth a small and apologetic. "I’m sorry.”
You manage a weak smile and shake your head, mouthing back a simple, “It’s okay.”
She nods, and she stumbles her way up to her apartment. Jeno waits until she’s safe inside and the door closes behind her before he starts driving off again. You can’t help but shift uncomfortably in your seat, stealing glances at him out of the corner of your eye. 
You can’t shake the feeling that he’s angry, furious even, at the revelation of your past. Guilt gnaws at your insides, twisting and turning as the car is quiet and his gaze stays fixed on the road ahead. 
You can’t bear the silence any longer, the weight of it pressing down on you. "Jeno, are you... mad?" you tread lightly, voice barely above a whisper.
Jeno's head snaps to the side until his eyes meet yours. They’re dark and intense but filled with more surprise than anger. And you’re caught off guard; because you could have sworn from the way he’s gripping the steering wheel, hard enough to cause a fire, he would have been at least a little annoyed.
A slow smirk starts to spread across his lips, gaze now burning and it sends shivers down your spine. "Mad?" he echoes, "No, Y/N... not mad."
A wave of confusion washes over you, your mind reeling at the unexpected response. But before you can process his words, he’s pulling over at some random side of the road to lean in close to your ear. His breath is hot, and he whispers, "Actually, I'm pretty turned on."
You move away from him, back hitting the car door, “Really? You’re not upset…?”
“Well…” he shrugs, “I’m upset that you didn’t tell me—”
“I didn’t want you to look down on me, or be embarrassed of me,” you cut him off, the urge to guard yourself getting the best of you.
Jeno sighs, and he notices the way your voice shakes as you defend yourself. He doesn’t understand why you’re even doing that – you don’t have to prove anything about yourself to him – he loves you as you are, past and future included. 
“You didn’t let me finish,” his fingertips grip your chin, “I’m upset I made you feel like you couldn’t trust me to tell me that.”
“I just didn’t want you to judge me is all,” you look down, voice going quiet. 
“That what you think I’d do?” He asks, planting a kiss on your cheek, and to his pleasure, it snaps your eyes up to him. “I’d never fucking judge you, baby, I already think you’re perfect… and I suppose knowing you used to strip is kind of a bonus.”
You laugh, shaking his hand from your chin, “Shut up.”
“I’m serious, do you know how hot it is knowing my girlfriend used to be a stripper?”
His tone is too calm for your liking. You had often imagined how Jeno might react about learning of your past as a stripper, and you don’t know why, but you had always prepared for him to be angry. You weren’t expecting this, him being so touchy and needy and – well – horny. 
“I’m serious, Y/N.” He scrapes his teeth across his bottom lip as he flicks a glance up to the roof of his car. When his eyes fall down to yours, they’re dangerous. “I’m getting hard just thinking about it.” 
You push at his chest playfully, “Stop it Jeno.” 
“Were you any good at it?” he asks tensely.
“We’re not doing this,” you laugh, shaking your head. 
He groans - it’s more of a whine. “Come on humour me, please baby.” 
You jut your jaw and roll your eyes. “Fine, I suppose I was pretty good.”
He lets out a dark huff of breath. Leaning back in his seat, he strokes his chin and runs a slow, all-seeing eye up your thigh and then over your chest. By the time it rests on your face, all of your nerve endings are on fire, lungs unable to keep up with your tense breaths.
“Show me.”
Your eyes widen, “What?” 
“Show. Me.” He repeats, expressionless.
There’s a chill that drifts through you. His face is completely void of humour, but there’s no way he can be serious…right? 
Swallowing the lump in your throat, you straighten your spine, mustering your best look of indifference as you fix him with a piercing stare. “We’re in public.”
“We’re in my car, and it’s dark.” 
You swallow, “You want me to strip here?” 
He nods. 
“There’s no room.”
He reaches down beside his seat, and with a soft touch, it reclines, creating a large space between his knees and the steering wheel. He always has an answer to everything. You let out a ragged breath, butterflies erupting in your stomach.
"Jeno, I can't just strip for you—" you begin, your voice trailing off as he interrupts you.
"Oh, so you'll strip for random men, but when I ask, it's a problem?" 
You bite the inside of your cheek, meeting his intense gaze. "You're serious?"
"Deadly.”
"Fine."
The click of your seatbelt echoes in the quiet car as you rise, sliding into the gap in front of him, facing the windshield. He lets out a low groan, his hand finding purchase on your waist, sending a jolt of electricity coursing through your veins.
As you slowly lower your body, the denim of his jeans rustles against the backs of your thighs. You shift your ass forward to his knees and arch your back. Your hands tremble, partially because you haven’t done this for years but also from the heat of his impatient gaze on your skin as you tease the straps of your dress down your shoulders.
With deliberate movements, you shift your hips, slowly, sensually. Your body sways in time to an invisible rhythm and you feel your lust and adrenaline rise.
His fingers glide along the contours of your back, and suddenly, an irresistible urge seizes you – to see the expression etched onto his face. It's a novel sensation, one that contrasts sharply with your previous experiences. In the past, when you danced, you avoided eye contact with patrons, but this is different; this is Jeno, your Jeno.
You decide to peer over your shoulder, and when you do you don't break eye contact with him. Taking a deep breath you slide the dress over your body, his gaze follows your every movement. From your ankles to the strip of your black underwear, his eyes trace your curves with a hunger that has your core setting a light. There is not a single trace of sweet Jeno left in his irises - the man looking back at you is hungry, needy.
Letting the fabric fall to the pedals, you lower yourself back onto his lap. The warmth of his thighs against your bare skin sends a delicious shiver down your spine, and you can't help but arch your back as you roll your hips, feeling the heat building between you. Soft fabric brushes over your clothed cunt and it makes your mouth water.
Holding onto the steering wheel, you arch your back and roll your ass into the direction of his groin. The guttural sound of his grunt is so animalistic it sends a shock of pleasure straight to your clit. You push further, sliding back until the tip of his swollen cock brushes against your ass. The realization of just how hard he is through his jeans sends a thrill coursing through your veins that triggers a wet heat to pool in your panties. 
Your heart pounds in your chest as you move, each roll of your hips driving you closer to the edge from the brush of his growing erection. His ragged breathing fills the car, and when his rough fingers slide beneath your panties, the snap of elastic meeting skin elicits a moan from your lips.
"Can't believe you'd wear panties like this, in that dress, when I wasn't there," he grunts, his voice thick with desire.
Gasping for air, you tilt your head back, your breaths coming in short gasps. "Shut up," you manage, but your voice still trembles with need.
He laughs, before returning his hands to your waist. "Turn around for me, baby. I want to see your face."
Too breathless to refuse, you rise on shaky legs and turn to face him. And when you meet his gaze, you're unprepared for the intensity you find there. It's a stare so intense it's almost violent, burning as it trails over your body over your thighs and stomach. You’ve had plenty of sex with Jeno and the way he studies your body so carefully will never not leave you feeling exposed and vulnerable.
“Prettiest fucking girl in the world,” he mutters the words more to himself than to you, but still, you shudder beneath the weight of them.
You grip the back of his headrest and slowly lower yourself onto his lap. Jeno leans forward to meet you. His hands, hot and greedy, slide behind your back to steady you. A smile tugs on your lips as you roll your hips against his throbbing cock just enough to wake up your clit — not that you needed to. Then, his fingers slide underneath the band of your bra and he looks up at you through his thick lashes. 
The snap as he drags his thumb out from underneath the band sends a jolt of pleasure straight to your pussy, and you can't help but arch your back in response. His eyes roam over your body, tracing the line of your throat before settling on your lips.
"I want to take this off," he murmurs, his voice low and teasing.
"That's not how lap dances work, silly," you giggle, a smile playing on your lips.
Another animalistic groan comes from him forcing your pussy to clench around nothing. Your fingers dig into his headrest, and his raspy breaths tickle the dip of your chest. You rake your teeth over your bottom lip as his fingers find the base of your hair to yank your head back.
"You take it off then," he growls, his voice thick with desire. "I just want it gone. Now."
With a mischievous grin, you slide your bra off, tossing it in his direction. As it lands on his face, you see a slow breath escape his parted lips, tension tightening the line of his shoulders as his hungry eyes take in the sight of your bare breasts. His eyes trail over your curves, the hunger in his gaze almost palpable as he flexes his biceps, adjusting his hands behind his head.
"Don’t let me stop you," he murmurs cockily.
Your pussy throbs with anticipation as you lean back, gripping his knees as you rock your hips forward once more. One particularly hard roll of your hips elicits a moan from deep within you, the friction building with every movement.
"You're so wet, baby. I can see you soaking through your panties," he whispers
Flustered, you whimper in response, his gaze sliding down to where your panties meet his jeans.
"Can I pull them to the side?" 
You're too lost in the moment to argue, too caught up in the pleasure and the heat between your thighs. So you nod, permitting him to slide your panties to the side as you grind hopelessly against his leg. Your body is flush and sweaty yearning for him, craving more pressure every time your clit brushes against his bulge. 
“Fuck,” he whispers close to your ear. 
Your hands slide between his bent elbows and your fingers lock behind his headrest; allowing you to have a better position to grind down on his body with even more fervour.
“You’re gonna cum on my thigh aren’t you?”
You're consumed by heat and desire, completely hot and desperate, and the windshield is now fully fogged up as a result. Lost in the throes of pleasure, you're unable to respond to him, but words are unnecessary. He can see the way your eyes clench shut with each roll of your hips, an expression of pure ecstasy. It's all the encouragement he needs to take action, flexing his thigh beneath you.
The sensation overwhelms you, causing you to buckle under the pressure against your clit. Unable to contain yourself, you sink your teeth into Jeno's bicep and he hisses. But you can't help it because waves of pleasure wash over you as you ride out the orgasm that courses through your body.
After what feels like an eternity of bliss, your high begins to ebb, and you find yourself melting into his chest, spent and content.
It's only when the intensity of your climax subsides that you snap back to reality. Neither one of you has moved – you’re just attached to eachother, panting heavily that you might as well share the same breath.  The sensation of Jeno’s cock poking your ass is still tangible, and even though you are practically exhausted from the intensity of the orgasm he just gave you, you figure it’s only fair to return the favour.
Your gaze remains fixed on his as you reach down to fumble with the buckle of his jeans. He offers no assistance, his eyes entirely focused on you. After all, this is your show, and you get to call the shots. 
You free his cock from his boxers, skipping the rest of his clothes in your eagerness to please him. His hands find your waist as yours find his shoulders, and you revel in the satisfaction of his eyes fluttering shut as you sink down onto the entirety of his length. 
He hisses in pleasure, unable to resist a teasing remark. "You know, for someone who was so hesitant to strip in public, you sure don't mind taking my cock in public."
"It's dark, and we're in your car," you retort, satisfied with your quick comeback. 
But before you can say more, he thrusts his hips, driving his cock deep inside you, where he belongs.
You feel every edge of him as he pounds into you, knotting your stomach and causing you to tighten your grip on his shoulder. The force of his thrusts threatens to push you back against the steering wheel, but you manage to hold on, whining in pleasure as he mutters curses under his breath.
"You always feel so good for me, baby," he coaxes, his hand tangling in your hair and pulling it back to expose your neck.
You hum in agreement, shamelessly lost in pleasure as he peppers your skin with wet, open-mouthed kisses. You pant like there is no oxygen left in the car as his thrusts become sharper and more reckless.
“Fuck Jeno.” 
You gasp, feeling his grip on your waist tighten in sync with the coil of pleasure in your stomach. He pushes you down to nuzzle into his neck, eliciting a cry from you at the angle. He takes your hands from his shoulders and locks them behind your back, giving him full control to drive every inch of him deep inside your pussy.
“Shit..” you whimper into his neck. You can feel his lips against your jaw, nicking it with his teeth. 
“Take it, baby.”
The restriction of your hands paired with his powerful thrusts have you completely submissive to him - which is funny considering you were supposed to be putting on a show for him. He uses his hold on your arms to pull you back and forces you to look at him. 
“Wanna see your face when you cum pretty girl.”
He knows your body so well because you’re at the beginning of your second round of bliss. His forehead falls lazily to your collarbone as he kisses the skin, sending trembles down your body and causing your mouth to fall open as you meet the edge. 
And your whimpers only spur Jeno on, as he rocks you through your orgasm, his own release not far behind. He shakily moans out your name with heavy breaths, his pace staggering as you both climax together. Both your stomachs jitter from the stimulation and your chests huff until your bodies shake with the intensity of the pleasure.
As you come down from your high, you feel Jeno's final thrusts, his eyes squeezed shut and sweat glistening on his brow. The collar of his shirt is damp with exertion, and his tongue pokes out at the side of his mouth as he catches his breath.
You’re like a limp puddle too, but Jeno stays clung to you, your sweaty bodies tangled in one other. Then, you slip off of him and drop into the passenger seat, tugging on your bra and dress that were previously disregarded on the car’s floor.
Jeno fixes his jeans as you dress. Then he starts toying with the car’s keys and revs the engine. As the car comes to life, the headlights glow yellow and the radio picks up. His warm, firm hand finds your thigh as you fasten your seat belt and glance up at him.
"From now on, every time we have sex, you owe me a lap dance."
 "Shut up," you say with a scoff of laughter.
“I'm serious," he insists, " We gotta make up for lost time since you kept the fact you're a sexy ass stripper hidden from me."

the least judgmental demon in hell | angel dust
Tumblr media
ship/pairing: Angel Dust x male!reader (featuring Fat Nuggets)
fandom: Hazbin Hotel
request: Could you possibly do Angel dust x Male!reader? Possibly soft/comfort where Angel dust attempts to comfort the reader after a meltdown or something similar?
warnings: mentions of dead bodies and murder, mentions of harassment towards the reader, mentions of sex, swearing (it's Hazbin Hotel so...), crying, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, meltdowns, pet names (reader gets called baby multiple times), ooc Angel?, kinda rushed the ending, not entirely proofread 
word count: 1232
A/N: fem readers DNI, Angel Dust is a nwlnw character. I wrote in Fat Nuggets while I was editing so apologies if the writing doesn't flow as much. friendly reminder to not compare trauma :)
Hell isn't the most mental health friendly place to be. Like anyone with common sense, you're not unaware of that, and though not on your own terms, you've gotten used to it. Though it's useless, that doesn't stop you from wishing it was different some days. Wishing that maybe on your walks to the hotel you wouldn't trip over a dead body, or get harassed by other sinners, or witness a violent murder or very graphic sex scene. You were grateful that some days were better than others. However, today was not one of those days. And after an entire week of shitty days, it was too much for you.
You were on the edge of tears when you entered the hotel, ready to have a good cry in your room while hopefully cuddling with your boyfriend, but fate had other plans. More accurately, Charlie had other plans. You never allowed yourself to feel angry with Charlie. After all she had done for you, and all the other hotel patrons, working tirelessly for what seemed like a hopeless cause. However you did allow yourself to feel upset with her bad timing.
Barely a second after you returned to the hotel, she dragged you over to the lounge, rambling about one of her new trust exercises she'd come up with. Normally, Charlie would've been able to sense something was up with you in seconds, but she was clearly driven by her inspiration, too excited to slow down.
Your hands fidgeted together, your legs bouncing up and down as Charlie explained her idea. You tried to pay attention, you truly did. But you could barely even comprehend a word she was saying. Everything was too loud and your head felt like it was gonna explode.
"Hey," you felt a hand on your shoulder and looked up to your side, meeting the black, white and pink eyes of Angel. You calmed slightly at the touch of his hand, and you were able to focus on his voice, "You ok?"
You nodded. You knew he could tell you weren't ok in the slightest. He was more than familiar with faking smiles and bottling up feelings. Luckily for you, he didn't pry, instead choosing to stay close and keep an eye on you, figuring you'd much rather prefer to vent or cry to him in private.
When Charlie finished explaining her idea, she met your eyes and gestured for you to stand. A wave of stress hit you, and you did your best to hide it as you stood up, moving to stand beside her in front of everyone. You tried to focus on what she was telling you, you really did, but the overwhelming tightening in your chest paired with multiple pairs of eyes on you made it impossible. Surprisingly, you felt a million times worse when she stopped talking. You don't think she had stopped talking since you walked in the room, so her silence meant she was expecting you to start talking. 
You looked around the room, your breaths getting shallower with every second. Charlie gently placed her hand on your shoulder, a concerned look on her face. She asked if you were ok, her voice quiet so only you could hear. You don't remember clearly, but you're pretty sure you shook your head before apologising and excusing yourself. Voices called out to you in concern as you sped up the stairs, making your way to your room as quickly as possible.
You closed the door behind you, leaning your back against it and sliding down to the floor. Tears streamed from your eyes while you held your head in your hands, trying to take deep breaths to calm yourself.
A knock sounded at the door, and you quickly wiped your tears away and cleared your throat, "Wh-who is it?"
"It's me." you recognised Angel's voice, his tone quieter than usual, "Can I come in?"
You jumped to your feet and rushed to the door, opening it and pulling Angel in. He was quick to hold you close, wrapping his arms around you, running his hands up and down your back to calm you.
"Just breathe baby," he whispered soothingly, his voice like music to your ears, "You're gonna be ok, I've got you."
Your breathing calmed down after a while, not before Angel lifted you off your feet - rather easily considering his height. He shut the door and gently sat you down on your bed, his hold on you never wavering as he sat beside you.
"You feelin' a little better?"
Shrugging, you pulled out of the hug, nodding your head yes.
Two of Angel's hands cupped your face gently, his thumbs wiping your tears away, while another set of hands rested on your shoulders, rubbing them softly, "You wanna talk about it?"
That would be harder to do than just breathing. You thought you were being over dramatic, getting so upset over small things every sinner goes through. Especially when you were sitting in front of Angel Dust. It's not that you doubted his love for you, but there was a small part in the back of your mind making you think he'd belittle your feelings and tell you that you were getting worked up over nothing.
"I dunno," you shrugged, "It's silly."
"Hey," Angel lifted your head slightly, getting you to meet his eyes, "You don't have to tell me if you don't wanna, but clearly it's not that silly if it's got you cryin'." you stayed quiet, and Angel could tell you were overthinking this, "Baby, you know me. I'll listen to you. I won't judge you for nothin'."
You hesitated, and Angel stood up from the bed, kissing your cheek before he stood to his full height, "Wait here," he said, hurrying out of your room and into the hallways until you couldn't see him anymore. Thankfully, you weren't alone for too long, and he arrived soon after he left, entering your room with Fat Nuggets in his arms.
You lit up at the sight of him, smiling widely when Angel sat back on the bed and placed him in your lap.
"If you're nervous, you can tell him." he pet Fat Nuggets on the head, "He's the least judgmental demon in Hell."
A soft laugh left your lips at his words. Fat Nuggets sat himself down on your lap as you pet him. You looked up at Angel, heart warming at his reassuring smile. Still slightly hesitant, you proceeded to explain everything that led up to your meltdown. And while you mainly directed it at Fat Nuggets, Angel listened intently, giving you his full attention just like he said he would. When you were finished talking, Angel wrapped his arms around you again, pulling you - and Fat Nuggets into a hug.
"Do you feel better now?"
"Yeah..."
"Good. And it's not dumb, baby. When you don't talk about these things, they just add up and get overwhelming. You know you can always talk to me about anything, right?"
You nodded, before resting your head in the crook of his neck, "Thank you, Angel."
“Eh, it was nothin’.” he chuckled softly, before he pulled away from the hug to look you in the eyes, “I love you so much.”
You smiled. Both his words and the caring smile on his face making your heart swell, “I love you too.”

nightmares ⋆ nanami kento
an. my finals start in june i'm gonna explode yall
cw. sfw. gn!reader. kento has nightmares and he needs you
playing. oh my god by fog lake.
Tumblr media
nanami's been getting more sleep ever since he left jujutsu tech and that shitty nine to five he used to slave at every damn day — along with the fact that he's able to spend more time with you. he likes to say that it helps him sleep, having you within arms reach (something that was extremely rare in the past, considering he had no time to rest).
kento thinks you resemble closely to a human sized pillow, and he often treats you as such. his arms are wrapped around your frame, one of his legs laying on top of yours — his chest rises and falls slowly, small snores leaving his lips — and you're thankful, very thankful; nanami was never able to sleep this soundly when you two lived in tokyo.
you try your best to push his heavy weighted figure away: you groan and complain that he's too big to be sharing this bed with you and that he should be sleeping on the floor instead. yet, you welcome him with open arms every night — pressing kisses to his forehead and running your fingers through his blonde hair.
you'd rather clingy and sleepy nanami who uses you as a personal bolster pillow in the night than sleepless nanami who locks himself away in his office, or exhausted nanami who drags his feet through the entrance of your home with bloodied limbs. it broke your heart more times than you could really count, seeing kento that way.
nanami kento saw his life flash before his eyes in shibuya, and all he could really pray for was to make it out alive so he could see you one last time — even if it were just for a few minutes. he clung desperately onto the last bit of energy and will he had in hopes of making it out alive; even if he was mutilated to a point beyond recognition, he needed to be with you. that was the only way he could let himself go — he would crawl back to your home if it meant he could kiss you one last time.
he never told you how long he'd be gone, or if he'd even come back at all: so you waited anxiously, refreshing news pages and watching the television every night for some sort of good. any sort of indication kento was okay.
he doesn't return home. you only see him when you rush down to the hospital they take him to — barely conscious, holding on to hope he didn't know he still had. nanami regains his full consciousness in the weeks following, the first thing he says being that he's done.
yes, nanami didn't want to risk it. never again.
it's 2 in the morning and you're unable to sleep, nanami's groans and sudden flinches are keeping you up.
"ken?"
the expression on his face is horrific — you feel the guilt wash over you like a wave, high and then crashing; so your fingers find his arms and you try your very best to shake the man awake.
your husband wakes up with a whimper; tired eyes almost brimming with tears at the fact that he is awake and you are real. his mouth is sealed, unable to utter a word, but the way his lips tremble tells you everything he cannot say.
"are you—"
soon, calloused fingers are gripping the flesh of your waist and pulling you impossibly closer. a nightmare, you can already tell: his hands feel clammy and his breathing is laboured.
"ken," you whisper. "'s okay. i'm here."
he sucks air through his teeth, trying to catch his breath. his body shudders at your touch as you graze over his skin — tracing circles on his bare back, your lips on his forehead. kento feels like he's about to cry, but he's not sure from what: at the fact that he had the worst dream of his life, or the fact that he's not dead and you're still here.
"'m s-sorry," he mutters. his voice is strained, still that deep and low tone that you're familiar with — but your heart still breaks as he apologises. "i'm sorry for waking you."
"don't be sorry," you comb your fingers through his hair using your free hand. "you know i don't mind it."
he sniffles and you yearn to hold him even tighter, but you think he would suffer broken ribs if you went through with that; so you settle for his head on your chest and your arms wrapped around his back.
"love you," nanami mumbles, voice getting softer and his grip looser — he feels his heart calm and his mind empty when you touch and hold him just like this. "i love you so much."
nanami wanted to be your protector. he hoped he would be for the remainder of his life — he likes to think he's doing a decent job at it now — but sometimes, it feels as though you are his; you fit awfully well to the title.
he supposes that's why he sleeps longer with you in the same bed as him; it's a peaceful thing knowing you're next to him if he has another bad dream, or if he feels cold and needs your warmth — or if he just wants to lay with you.
"i love you more, ken," you lulled, the tips of your fingernails scratching the skin of his trapezius; he recognises the heart shapes you trace on him. "get some rest."
"okay," he hums, his nose poking at your collarbones — his lips slowly leaving trails of kisses along them. "goodnight, darling."
your lips curl into a smile almost instinctively and you think it's embarassing, but it's much too dark for kento to see you blush at the name he calls you. you're thankful.
"goodnight, baby."
he's thankful that it's close to pitch dark, as well — kento thinks you can't see the smile he has on his face — but what he doesn't realise that you can feel him on your skin; feel the way his cheeks puff and his lips form the small smile you are so familiar with.

me when i remember i can send mashle requests 🙏🏻 bless your soul, sen 🫶🏻 so, since i’m lwky sick how about rayne, lance, orter (and or anyone else you want) taking care of sick reader? they had to find out you were feeling unwell from someone else too 😗
CARE ──── ft. rayne ames, lance crown and orter mádl.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
about. hcs of the boys taking care of their sick s/o | gn! reader.
notes. ava you're such a W for this ily bro 🔥 anyway, keep the mashle requests coming i love everyone who requests for them.
Tumblr media
RAYNE AMES
— honestly, bro's so worried for you the moment a classmate rushed to his class to tell him abt you. you're also a second year, just different classes from rayne for today. so he excused himself and rushed right to you.
— there at the infirmary, you sat down on the bed, your weakened state piercing rayne's heart. he went to embrace you in a hug and reassure you that everything is going to be ok. then he helped you to your dorm to rest.
— what intrigued everyone the most was how he traded places with your dorm mate for a few days just because he wanted to look after you while you're sick. during those moments, he looked after you. your food, temperature, symptoms, etc. he was there the whole time, even if he went for some certain classes that he wouldn't want to miss. but most of the time, he skipped those classes.
— rayne made sure everything was perfectly to your preferences. and you've been pretty obedient with the medicine too, which you didn't want rayne to worry about anymore further considering how he's skipping classes just to look after and accompany you. so you try your hardest to get well soon.
— he probably prayed to God for your health to get better soon. and when his prayers were heard, rayne is overjoyed and kept thanking God and you for doing such a great job in hanging tight to go through it all.
Tumblr media
LANCE CROWN
— it was lemon who informed him about your health. of course, he would keep his calm composure but on the inside, he's really worried and panicking. lance thinks it was his fault for going too hard on you during your sparring session since it was pretty much him using his gravitational magic to defeat you so it most probably caused your dizzy mind and body.
— the type to pay you visits with his other friends, since they're always with him. but he does it alone, he apologises so much and ends up crying then sleeping by the bed.
— your sickness wasn't that serious, it was just a mild fever. so all you needed was rest, medicine, and some of lance's comforting words. he tells you about what happened during school everyday, updating you about his day then listening to yours.
— lance notes down your classes' lessons and notes and gives them to you after the day or during free time. there's some certain lessons that you didn't share with lance and he would go all the way to ask your classmates or self study to write notes for you.
— after you were discharged from the school's hospital, lance helped you slowly recover from school as much as he could. he was gentle with your recovery and wouldn't want anyone or anything to hurt you so he's ALWAYS with you to serve as your temporary guard. he protects you for a whole full week, like a dad.
Tumblr media
ORTER MÁDL
— unlike rayne or lance, he doesn't show that he concerns. but deep down, he cares, and he doesn't. orter is like a two way kinda person, which is a bit complicating. so you won't know if he actually cares or not, since he didn't really reacted when the doctor told him about you.
— but, he tries his hardest to make time to visit you at the hospital since he's a busy man as divine visionary. once he found out that the hospital you were admitted in gives shitty low-class treatment, he immediately demanded for you to be transferred to the best hospital in the country.
— orter manages to get other divine visionaries to sub for his missions and duties so he could be with you and help look after you. the simple feeling and thought of you being alone in a big hospital gives him an unsettling worry so he decides to be there for you.
— he's the smart type of guy, so he does everything logically. if you don't want to take your meds, he'd just drink it, hold it using it tongue, kiss you and force you you to swallow it by covering your nose. pretty comical actually, how'd he tries showing you care but ends up screwing some of it up.
— it's ok tho, he's probably just feeling a bit of like a tsundere. he denies your teasing but ends up getting flustered. that would actually help you a lot in your recovery as your gloomy days spent in the hospital was filled with orter's entertainment until you were discharged, all healthy thus giving orter so many kisses which he would awkwardly return one on your lip.

Then There Was You ❤️
Summary; Eddie's ex left him heartbroken and you were there to pick up the pieces.
Eddie should be happy that Jessie is back but there's you, you who put the pieces of his broken heart back together, who made him smile on his worst days.
(This is just a lil fic to get me back into the swing of writing)
Warnings; Angst, heartache, fluff, minors dni
Likes or reblogs are much appreciated ❤️
I don't give anyone permission to copy, reuse or repost my work.
❤️❤️
Eddie is smiling as you wake up, his fingers gently caressing your hair as you curl into his chest.
Mornings have been like this for a while, lazy and full of sleepy kisses, affection and the urge to do nothing but lay with each other, limbs entwined as the sun rises.
It's bad though... Bad because you can't risk falling even more for Eddie than you already have.
This was just meant to be sex between the two of you, meaningless, mindblowing sex to take Eddie's mind off his heartache from his ex leaving him.
Jessie had broken Eddie's heart two months ago by calling him a loser, good for nothing and driving away with Josh Harris in tow.
"He's actually making something of his life Munson, not working in a shitty garage and being a total loser"
In truth you had never liked Jessie at any point of the almost nine months she had been dating Eddie, she was stone cold but Eddie was too lovesick to see it.
Until it was too late. Then he came to yours a few nights after you left and you both got a little bit drunk and slept together.
It was the best sex you'd ever had and before both of you knew it the two of you were meeting up every chance you could.
Most of the night was about sex but there was lots of talking too, Eddie opening up to you and you to him, a lot of laughter shared and good times.
Two months down the line and pesky feelings had took root, you were hopelessly in love with Eddie.
There was this nagging feeling though that at some point Jessie would swan right back into Eddie's life, begging for forgiveness.
As for as you knew Eddie still loved her though you were too scared to ask and hear the answer for real.
"Hey, sleepyhead. How's my girl?" my girl him saying that makes you giddy even though you tell yourself not to get your hopes too high that he feels the same.
"Hmm, too early. Need kisses" he grins and dips down to kiss you.
"With fucking pleasure milady" you giggle as his stubble tickles your neck, he stops kissing you for a second and stares at you, his expression sweet, full of tenderness.
"You're so beautiful" he sighs and those three words make your heart beat like crazy.
"Right back atcha handsome" his cheeks turn pink and he hides his face in your hair, it's so cute and the morning only gets sweeter as you stay in bed kissing and cuddling.
It's a beautiful morning, you and Eddie in your own little bubble. You should have known it wouldn't last...
❤️
"Eddie, the pasta will get cold" you giggle as he kisses you, one hand caressing your face while the other sneakily grabs your ass.
"Wanna keep kissing you princess" he pouts and you giggle leaving closer to him as your lips capture his and he sighs in contentment.
Unfortunately, as you are getting a little hot and heavy there's a knock at the door.
"Bet that is Dustin, you know he loves your pasta dinners" you grin at Eddie and rush to open the door.
It's not Dustin, no who it is makes your heart sink.
Jessie is standing outside and smiles at Eddie when she sees him, she rushes over and hugs him and he stands shockas at she kisses his cheek and apologises.
"I'm so sorry honey, what I said was out of line, I never should have left. You're my Eddie bear and I've missed you". The sight of her hugging him makes you go cold, she's back and you know Eddie must be thrilled, angry yes but thrilled she came back to him.
She turns to you.
"Oh it's you" she huffs and Eddie goes to respond but you get there first.
"I should go. Leave you two to talk" Eddie shakes his head.
"Wait, sweetheart, you don't have to go" The option is to stay and witness their reunion which will inevitably turn loved up and you don't think your heart can handle it.
"You both need to talk" you repeat and grab your jacket, hiding your tears until your out the door.
Jessie is back and Eddie will be so happy, the tears fall down quickly and you wipe them away, hurrying to your car and heading home.
❤️
The next night Robin takes you to The Hideout and you're trying your very best to not fall apart, she knows all about Eddie and has spent the last ten minutes glaring at him.
Unbeknownst to you he's spent the last twenty sneaking glances at you and longing looks but Robin is too irate to notice that.
"It's fine Robin, I knew it was a no strings attached gig" she huffs.
"You're heartbroken so it wasn't that for you was it? You get tossed aside because the bitch is back" at this point Eddie walks up to you and Robin looks set to cuss him out so you manoeuvre Eddie away from her wrath.
"Hey," he runs his hand through his hair.
"I didn't expect her to come back," he tells you honestly and you know that's true but it's always been an eventuality that you knew could happen, that you dreaded.
"I bet you're happy though, deep down. Sure she apologised and stuff" he sighs.
"She did, wanted to pick things up where they left off. I... I slept on the couch and have had barely any sleep, just a lot of shit rattling in my mind"
Eddie looks pained at that moment, reaching out to you but looking so unsure of what to say so you decide to just cut to the chase.
"Look, It's okay, I always knew she would come back Eddie, this was just fun right?" you try to portray that you're aloof and that your heart isn't breaking but the emotions threaten to spill over.
"Right..." Eddie murmurs and you smile, it feels so fake and you wonder if he can see right through it but Jessie is soon beside Eddie and it hurts your already sore heart.
"Eddie, your friend is here again" she sounds so unenthused and you would love nothing more than to tell her a few home truths but you can't get the words out.
"I'll see you around Munson" You smile weakly and he swallows, big brown eyes gazing at you, full of many emotions, something you can't place.
"See you around? Maybe tomorrow we could... You cut him off as Jessie glares at him, hanging off his arm like a limpet.
"I'll probably be busy for a little while, work is hectic so maybe in a couple of weeks or something?"
"Weeks" he mumbles and you think you hear pain in his voice but dismiss it. You were just a fuck buddy nothing more, you were just getting your hopes up for nothing.
"Goodbye Eddie," you tell him and gently kiss his cheek. You feel his eyes on you as you go and resist every urge to look back at him.
Once you're gone Eddie feels a hollowness in his chest, like someone carved out his heart and stomped on it.
Jessie is fluttering around him and he stares at her feeling fury build inside of him.
"Why are you here?" she stops talking at that moment and looks at him stunned.
"Excuse me?" she demands.
"Why are you here? You swan back into my life like you didn't decide the grass was greener on fucking Josh Harris's side, like you didn't call me a loser and shit. Make me feel like nothing"
She looks lost for words, mouthing wordlessly.
"It was a mistake" he snorts.
"After two months you realise it was a mistake? What shit didn't work out with Josh so Eddie is a good ol back up huh?" her guilty expression gives it away.
"Unbelievable. I'm right aren't I?" she bites her lip.
"Come on Eddie. I apologised, I still love you" he shakes his head, no she loves that he was smitten for her, that she thought he would be easily manipulated.
"No, you don't, I loved you once yeah but it doesn't compare even a fraction to what I feel for... His eyes widen and her expression turns thunderous.
"For who? Yn? Are you fucking kidding me?" her anger makes him even more annoyed.
"You have no right to be pissed. You left and she was amazing, fucking amazing, at first it was just casual, just sex between us but I spent more time with her and yeah I fell in love with her, I love her" It's the first time he's said it out loud and it feels so good to let out.
"I love her," he says again and smiles then immediately face palms. Shit! He loved you bit he had no idea how you felt, you said it was just casual but he knows you so well, you were hiding your emotions.
Because you thought he still loved Jessie, he groans and turns to Jessie, her hand is on her hips and she looks pissed.
"I love her. You left and let's face it, we were never a good match anyway were we? We're done, Jessie, for good. Go find some other poor dickhead to make your bitch instead yeah?" he leaves her standing there and is determined to see you.
❤️
The urge to find Jessie and cuss her out for hurting Eddie is strong, however you tamper that down with some ice cream and a cocktail.
Eddie was a big boy, if he wanted to give Jessie another chance then it was up to him, even though it was killing you inside you would just have to deal with it.
Move on... the despair threatens to overwhelm you again so you decide to watch a movie, not a rom com, something spooky and scary, it occurs to you tonight would be movie night for you and Eddie and it sours your mood again.
Robin insisted you tell him how you feel but you didn't see what good that would do. It would just make Eddie more confused than he already was.
Lightning flashes in the sky, thunder rumbles as rain pelts down on the windows outside, and the storm threatening to hit Hawkins had finally begun.
Listening to the rain was calming to you, in fact, you had almost nodded off when the lights began to flicker erratically before going out completely.
You sure hoped you could find some candles stat, just as you were in the process of lighting a bunch of them your doorbell rings.
Probably Robin.
"Robin? Did you forget your keys again?" you open the door and Eddie is standing soaked to the bone, holding a now extinguished candle.
"Uh, the storm is crazy huh?" you pull him inside, filled with worry.
"You'll catch your death out there Eddie. Could have waited until morning to come you know?" he shakes his head.
"This couldn't wait. I had to see you" he shrugs of his jacket and places the candle on the table.
"Where's Jessie?" you ask even know you're not sure if you even want to know.
He shrugs. ''Don't know, don't care princess" his attitude makes you do a double take.
"I don't understand. This is what you wanted for her to come back? You love her?" his attitude was confusing you, why wasn't he happy.
"I did want her to come back. For a little while it's all I wanted. Then it faded and she came back, you think I would be happy but I'm not because it's been a day and I've barely seen you and I'm going crazy"
He strokes your cheek and you lean into him, hope filling your chest.
"All the time with Jessie and I've never felt a fraction for her or any woman the way I feel about you"
His eyes are shining brightly, full of...love.
"Eddie?" he kisses your forehead and you can feel your heart race.
"I don't want Jessie, haven't for a long time. I've fallen in love with you, head over heels in love with you princess"
His lips meet yours, he kisses you deeply, thumb stroking your cheek. "I love you" he repeats and you can't help the tears that fall down your cheeks, happy tears.
"Oh, I love you too Eddie. I've been wanting to say for a while but then Jessie came back and I thought I'd lost my chance" he kisses you again.
"I should have told you sooner sweetheart. Every day waking up to you in my arms is something I love more than anything, I love you"
His forehead rests against yours and he holds you close.
"Kinda spooky outside huh princess? Might need extra cuddles tonight?" you giggle and wrap your arms around him.
You know full well he loves storms and have caught him outside without a care in the world.
"Mmm, I love you, Eddie" he takes your hand leading you to your room where you make love all night long.
❤️❤️
Jessie was long gone within a few days, she announced she was too good for Hawkins and went off with Josh yet again.
Not that you and Eddie noticed, it was Robin and Nancy who told you the whole story, you had kinda been busy lavishing in the love bubble you and Eddie were in.
You didn't expect to fall in love with Eddie or any of this to happen but you're so happy that it did.
❤️✨❤️✨

Well, that was a much bigger shitstorm than I had been expecting.
First of all, kid's ok, they just kept him over night because he's so young and concussions are a bit more of a risk, especially given his extensive medical history. Thankfully though, he seems to be on the mend, and he should be home by the time you Darlings are seeing this post.
As for why you're seeing this post, originally I was just meant to be playing emergency babysitter until the dad finished work and got home, but unfortunately he's just as big of a piece of shit as he usually is (Why they're still together and actively having more kids I have no idea) and decided that since someone was already with the kids, then instead of rushing home like he was asked to by his wife, he was going to make the best of it and go out drinking with his friends.
Both his wife and his elderly mother in law tried to contact him, but after the third set of calls, he turned off his phone. Not once did he ask who was with his kids, or how his injured son was, all he cared about was going out and drinking. (I sincerely hope she leaves his arse soon. Holy shit)
The mum did apologise to me repeatedly, but since their only living family is her elderly mother who is by no means capable of looking after five kids under the age of seven, she really didn't have a choice but to rely on me until her or her (shitty) husband could return home. And for obvious reasons, she couldn't exactly leave a four year old in the hospital by himself.
In the end, the "dad" didn't get home until about nine am this morning, stinking of grog, and I don't feel comfortable leaving them with him. I did quickly head back and grab a charger for my phone so that I could type this up, but since the youngest ones will be waking from their after feed nap soon, and the mum is still a way's off from getting back, I'm probably not going to have time to sort through my reblogs properly.
On a small positive note though, it does look like all my stuff is back now, so I should be able to go back to posting older reblogs tomorrow. For now, I'm just going to focus on the kids and then go back and crash into my own bed.
Thank you for your understanding and patience, Darling ones. Please remember to take care of yourselves 🖤

zosan with abba's super trouper.
is this essentially a pop star au? yes. bear with me anyway.
so the entire vinsmoke family are pop stars and they're perfect in the public eye but actually toxic as HELL, and sanji's sick and tired of it— so he breaks away from them and joins another agency, and zoro's assigned as his bodyguard.
they fight SO MUCH at first. i'm talking screaming and yelling and throwing things across the room (mostly sanji) and being stubborn and straight-up refusing to talk after a certain point (also mostly sanji) and then apologising with food and gifts and not words (mostly, well, both of them). they're like flint and steel; putting them together is just asking for trouble, but the years pass, and somehow through the endless bickering they end up best friends. who would've thought? their sharp edges have softened just enough and they're both too old and too tired and too busy to have cold wars anymore. they know more about each other than perhaps anyone else, and they care.
(they're also both in love and refuse to admit it. idiots.)
and then sanji goes on tour, and zoro has to leave for a training refresher course thing, and sanji's MISERABLE. luffy's with him as a bodyguard instead and it's fine, he's great, sanji loves him— just not the way he loves zoro. he feels fucking homesick in a way he never has because he's never really had a proper home and he knows, he knows it's because zoro isn't here with him. sanji turns around to tell him something and is met with empty air. he keeps trying to order double portions of food and booze before he catches himself and maybe he's being dramatic, but it feels like he's missing a fucking limb.
nami, his manager, has to yell at him to stop moping because all he's doing is eating chocolate and binging french soap operas in his hotel room and huddling up in the big leather jacket that zoro left behind. he just wants to get back to his tiny apartment and curl up on his shitty couch to eat pizza and watch Mean Girls for the hundredth time as zoro complains and gets invested in the drama all over again anyway.
he's nearly dead on his feet as finishes yet another exhausting show, trying to take comfort in the fact that it's his second last; his shoes are kicked off to the corner, his makeup barely removed, and just when he's about to turn in for the night his phone rings and when he sees the caller ID he SCRAMBLES to pick up.
"hey," zoro says, low and rumbly and so achingly familiar that sanji doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice," he breathes, and he means it. he means it more than he even knew he did and it hits him all at once as soon as the words leave his mouth. he misses his best friend, no matter everything else that zoro is to him.
zoro's chuckle is a balm to his soul. "i'm coming to see you tomorrow."
sanji sits bolt upright from where he'd been laid back against the pillows, eyes going wide. "are you serious?" he can't help the hope and excitement that unspools in his gut, the warm rush in his blood as zoro laughs.
"yeah. i'm done with the course. speedran the fucking thing and scored so well they had no choice but to let me go. couldn't miss the last chance i had to see you on tour, could i?" sanji can hear his grin through the phone. "i'm flying in tomorrow morning."
"i'll come pick you up from the airport."
"like hell you will," zoro retorts immediately. "you have a press conference at ten."
shit, he'd forgotten about that. "how'd you know, huh?" sanji counters, faux-petty and reclining back against his plush bedding. god, if there was one good thing about being on tour, it was the fancy hotels.
"been talking to nami," comes the reply, amused and teasing, and sanji groans. "what's this i hear about you acting like a widowed husband?"
"you fucking wish, you moron," he snaps, curling up on his side and hugging a pillow to his chest. the bed is awfully big and awfully cold.
zoro sighs, and there's the sound of something zipping up briskly. "missed you too, curls. look, listen— i gotta get to the airport. see you tomorrow night?"
"...yeah," sanji says, because there's so much he wants to tell zoro and no idea how. he doesn't know where he'd start. he doesn't even know what he wants to say. "yeah, i'll see you. you'll be in the crowd, right?"
"mhm," zoro confirms, accompanied by what sounds like the chirp of an electronic lock. "you just sit tight, curly. i'm coming home."
they exchange a few more words before the line cuts off, but sanji's mind is stuck on three specific words and the possible space for three more after. i'm coming home. but he isn't home right now; he's in a foreign country, in a bed that isn't his, and zoro's flying to him. this isn't home to either of them. unless... and that silence afterwards, like zoro had wanted to say something that would have fit right in. something that would have been a natural end to that string of syllables.
sanji takes a deep breath and does his best to push all thoughts of i love you, spoken or not, to the back of his mind.
still, he can't help but let it all boost him up like a buoy bobbing merrily on the sea. one call from zoro, one short conversation, and he's fucking effervescent; he wakes up smiling and breezes through the press conference with effortless charm. he's bouncing on the toes of his heeled boots even before he steps onto the stage, thrilled by the thought of zoro being in the audience. thousands of eyes on him, thousands of people screaming his name, and he only cares about one. he takes a deep breath as the lights change and the platform he's on begins to rise, fingers tightening around his mic. it's his last night here. he's doing it all for zoro.
it turns out to be the best performance of his life, if he does say so himself. he powers through the entire two hours with ease and hits every note perfectly. he enjoys himself for the first time in a long time, soaks up the glitter and glamour and blinding lights, lets the atmosphere wrap him up and tousle his hair, and he wonders just how it's possible that one person's presence could change so much.
(he doesn't need to wonder. he already knows.)
when he says his final goodbyes for the night he's breathless, heart pounding, anticipatory. the hands patting at his back in congratulation backstage are superficial compared to who he knows is here, and he spares nami a few seconds for a rare squeeze, pausing for a few more when she whispers i'm proud of you in his ear.
and then sanji sees him, and nothing, nothing else fucking matters.
he sprints forward and they crash together and something slams into place inside of him. zoro sweeps him off his feet, squeezing him tight enough that he laughs, bright and merry and real as they spin around and around and he's so dizzy when he's set back down, light-headed and his heart full. he doesn't care where he is, he's home.
zoro takes his weight as easily as anything, tucking sanji to his chest. "god, fuck, you were amazing up there," he says breathlessly, the words pressed into sanji's bejewelled hair. "you were incredible."
the words rumble through his chest and sanji clings tighter, holding zoro desperately around the waist and taking in deep lungfuls of laundry detergent and the fancy pine-and-sandalwood body wash he'd given zoro for christmas. "you're here."
"'course i am," zoro replies, matter-of-fact. "said i'd be here, so i'm here."
his earrings press against sanji's cheek. "can we go get pizza?" he asks meekly.
zoro's answering laugh pours into the horrible aching pit that's been gnawing away at him, fills it up with liquid sunlight as he answers, "we can do whatever the hell you want."
they get pizza. sanji lets zoro pull him around town swearing at the Google Maps on his phone before he finally takes pity and steers them towards the little pizzeria he'd found when he'd snuck out with luffy on their first night here. the tongue-lashing from nami had been worth it, but even so the experience back then had been dull. muted, at best.
now it's like he's seeing the whole world through a whole different lens; the fluorescent sign in the window beams charmingly as the bell above the door chimes, and sanji doesn't even care about the raised eyebrow zoro gives him when he wiggles into the booth seat with undisguised glee. between them they put away a large four-cheese pizza and a frankly massive slice of apple pie à la mode, and sanji's feeling pleasantly stuffed as he finishes up his vanilla milkshake and successfully fends zoro off from stealing sips when he isn't looking. he has plenty of experience with that, after all.
the walk back is filled with comfortable silence. sanji doesn't need anything else— zoro here with him is more than he could ask for. scary dog privilege aside, the man next to him is sanji's best friend, and he loves zoro more than he can, or will, ever say.
zoro drops him off at his room and hugs him goodnight. sanji strips down, blasts the shower as hot as it can go, and scrubs the gel out of his hair along with any of the remaining dregs of emptiness he resolutely tells himself are not there right down the drain.
it can't stop him from thinking, though. of zoro. of compression shirts and cargo pants and worn black boots. of the nights zoro had taught him self-defense and the time sanji nearly broken his jaw with a roundhouse kick neither of them had known he was capable of; the other had grinned up with him with blood all over his teeth, proud and raring to go, barking again! and sanji had glowed. his mind swims with it all even as he towels off and slips into his silk pyjamas— memories of late-night talks with wine and beer, sometimes tea, quips all around, beds shared back-to-back under unspoken agreements when neither of them wanted to sleep alone.
three knocks sound on his door.
sanji hates the way he rushes to the peephole and yanks it open as soon as he confirms who it is. zoro stands there, one hand on the back of his neck, looking bored yet unsettled in his baggy tee with his damp hair sticking up everywhere. "jetlag?" sanji asks, raising an eyebrow as zoro grunts.
"you could say that."
he steps aside in a silent invitation, and zoro looks around as he goes in. sanji topples onto the bed with a sigh of relief and crawls under the blankets, patting the space beside him as he switches on the television. "mean girls?"
"god, i fucking hate you," zoro groans, but he settles in anyways, and sanji grins triumphantly.
it's still not his apartment or his shitty couch— but zoro's here, so it's the next best thing.
they make it through the movie without incident. zoro parrots the dialogue and cheers when regina gets hit by the bus like he does without fail every time. sanji knees him in the thigh for it with a scowl like he always does and it starts a fierce kicking battle under the sheets that results in zoro dangling half off the mattress and sanji laughing so hard he can't breathe.
when they've mostly calmed down, sanji sighs out one final chuckle and sinks back into the pillows. "think you can fall asleep now?" he murmurs, turning to look at where zoro has his head propped in one hand.
"maybe," the other allows, and sanji swallows before he smiles.
"goodnight, marimo."
"goodnight."
the flick of the light switch feels like finality. in regards to what, sanji doesn't know, but now that they're in the darkness and zoro begins to get comfortable behind him he cannot deny that he wants.
he wants those arms around him. wants to sleep even better than he does when they're back to back, wants to fit within the circle of zoro's embrace like he belongs there. wants to belong there. wants zoro as his best friend and everything more. it manifests as a tight ache in the centre of his chest, a knot around his heart that he knows he cannot untangle by himself. sanji curls up into a ball and hugs a pillow to his chest, biting his lip— because zoro is right next to him instead of thousands of miles away, and he's still untouchable all the same.
he's on the cusp of restless sleep when he feels zoro shift, and he prays that the hitch in his breath is unnoticeable. he forces the rise and fall of his chest to stay even as the blankets are smoothed securely around his shoulders, a callused palm brushing his hair away from his face; a soft kiss is pressed to his forehead, a hand cupping his face tenderly and trailing away with the brush of a thumb over his cheekbone. "sweet dreams, curls," zoro whispers, before light cracks in from the hallway as his room door opens and shuts.
the electronic lock beeps, and sanji's eyes fly open. the white ceiling swims as he stares at it, unseeing, and the sheets on the right side of the bed are still warm. there's an indent where zoro's body was and sanji gasps as he drags himself into it, huddling down and pulling the covers over his head until all he can smell is zoro.
his heart stutters, mind racing, fingers tightening in the plush duvet. he's confused, so confused. hopeful. a little mad, if he's being honest, and his next breath trembles out of his lungs. mostly still confused, though, because what the fuck did that mean?
he'll find out, he swears. he will. he'll storm his way to zoro's room and break the damn door down if he has to. but for now, if he hides for a little while until he stops feeling like he's about to cry—
well, that's a secret for his hotel room to keep.

It's me, yes it's me! I know you were all waiting for me! :DD
Yes, yes, it's an another crack fic, yippeecayay, mfers 🤠 Adam and reader arguing about something, might be something stupid or something serious, obviously they still love each other but both of them are insanely stubborn so neither wants to admit they are wrong. The reader goes to cool off, he meets up with a friend and start to just vent his frustration to them when lo and behold, Adam shows up to... Well "apologise" in his own unique way and it's basically him just seeing the location where reader is (They're sharing their locations, Adam's heart cannot handle anymore stress with reader going missing even if for a few minutes), showing up with his badass axe guitar and strumming it, going "I love you bitch... I ain't ever gon' stop loving you... Biiitch", reader's friend just looks at him with the biggest "Really? You actually LOVE him?" and reader just looks back at them with the goofiest grin: "We'll, he's dumb and overly stupid, but he's my dumb and overly stupid man" shrugging his shoulders and goes to Adam to kiss him, just to then smack him and then kiss him again 👀
Tumblr media
Babes, I once again have to say that I love your crack prompts, at this point these r the air that keeps me alive bc holy fuck they make me laugh every fucking time.
Do you even
pairing: Adam x male!reader
warnings: language, fighting (not physically but verbally), slightly cracky
note: not beta read bc fuck you I don't have beta readers
“Adam, just shut the fuck up for a second, would you?” you exclaimed harshly as you massaged your temples in order to try and keep calm.
He had been ranting about his bitchy band mate who had ditched him last minute before an important gig and you had enough of it. Ever since the both of you had woken up in the morning all Adam had been talking about was ‘how fucking done he is with that bastard’ and ‘how fucking dare that whore to ditch him last minute because he was the fucking Adam and the fucking Adam wasn't someone you'd ditch to fuck some random - and ugly, his words not yours - bbl bitch'. “Just shut the fuck up for a couple seconds okay? I get it, that fucker ditched ya, it was shitty of him, but for the love of God, stop acting like a motherfucking child and get the fuck over it.”
The brunette's hands were on his hips as he shot you a venomous look, “Well, if you would care you wouldn't mind me bitching about something that meant a whole fucking lot to me.” You couldn't help the huff that escaped you as you closed the gap between the both of you, your index finger aggressively tapping his chest as you looked up at him. Because what the actual fuck? You cared, you cared a lot and usually you didn't mind it when he was bitching about something, but you've had a headache all day and Adam wasn't being helpful with his constant talking. You couldn't even bring yourself to feel sorry for snapping at him, you had told him that you weren't feeling well today and yet he had strictly ignored that just for his own benefit. “You know what? Fuck you, Adam. You can suck my fucking dick for saying that. I fucking care, okay? Any ordinary bitch would've left you by now but I fucking didn't because I love you, for heaven's sake. So quit the motherfucking attitude already,” there was truly no way for you to swallow all the anger that was seething inside of you and you really couldn't care less. “I’m out of here, fucking call me when you decided to quit acting like a goddamn manchild,” and with that you grabbed your phones and keys and rushed out the apartment.
Once the door was shut you broke down entirely. Yes, you and Adam had different options on some things, nothing major though, but fighting like that? That was a thing that had never happened before, not when you started dating and especially not after you married him. Fighting with Adam felt exhausting, you hated how your heart hurt - it almost felt like physical pain. So you did the only logical thing and unlocked your phone to call your best friend.
Arlo was someone you could always count on and that was proven one more time when the man had pulled up to the park in no time - that's where you had asked him to meet you - and he came in company of milkshakes. He handed you the cup as he sat down on the bench next to you. “So, you finally figured out that Adam is a huge bitch huh?” that earned Arlo a glare. Yes, you were mad at your husband, but that was no reason to insult the man you loved so dearly. “Quit it, I'm not breaking up with him because of one single fight,” you mumbled as you took a sip of your milkshake, realizing Arlo had managed to get you your favorite flavor. That brightened the mood at least a little. “Look Y/N, I'm all for love ‘n’ shit, but Adam, seriously? I mean you of all people should know how big his ego is and he just proved this by ignoring your well-being,” the blonde continued to rant about your husband and while Adam's ego was huge, his love for you was bigger.
He didn't let outsiders notice the ways he looked at you during gigs, he made it seem casual when his wing wrapped around your shoulder when you two walked through the streets like it was a thing people casually did - they didn't. Touching the wings of another angel, let alone use your wings to shield someone was a big deal due to the wings being hypersensitive. He always remembered what you liked and what you disliked, no matter what you were talking about. He knew and respected a lot of things when it came to you, things he didn't even tolerate when it came to others. He loved you and while for strangers eyes it wasn't visible, it was everything to you.
“Arlo, I didn't fucking call you so that you can tell me what a shitty husband I have, he loves me and I love him, he cares and just because we had one fight in six thousand years won't make me throw this relationship away so you either shut it or you leave, that's up to you,” you snapped at the blonde angel next to you and it seemed to do the job because Arlo closed his lips around the straw of his own milkshake and seemingly swallowed all the hatred he hold for Adam. You knew Arlo was trying to cheer you up, but he was doing a shitty job at that. Down talking your husband wasn't something you would let slide wordlessly. Because when Adam wanted, he was very much able and willing to serve you the world on a golden platter. He had risked a lot for you already and you were aware he would do it all again.
-
In the meantime Adam was still at your apartment. The second you had slammed the door shut behind you he realized how badly he had fucked up. There had always been different options on certain things, that was fine though. Usually you guys were able to talk it out and find a solution that made both of you happy, you never had a fucking fight in over six thousand years and now the fight had been intense enough to result in you leaving.
He had fucked up badly and he knew it.
But he couldn't just wait for you to come back. In the name of the almighty lord above, Adam wasn't even sure if you'd come home for the night. What if you were to stay with a friend until tomorrow, maybe even longer? No, he needed to solve this now. So he did the first thing that came to his mind and checked your location.
When you two had just started dating he had been losing you a lot, mainly because whenever you saw something that you liked or that you thought he might like you were running off to get that thing. So the two of you had agreed to constantly share your location with each other and ever since then that had never changed, these days it was a simple habit. The little icon on the map was pinned on the park. Good, that wasn't too far.
So the man grabbed his guitar and left to apologize.
-
Arlo’s eyes scanned the park for a moment, then he groaned quietly, “Speaking of the devil.” You turned your head to look over to where your blonde homie was looking at and couldn't help but roll your eyes.
Adam was walking straight towards you.
He had his guitar in his hand as he confidently walked across the park just to stop in front of the bench you and Arlo were sitting on. You weren't the only one annoyed by Adam's presence, the blonde angel next to you was just as pleased to see the leader of the exorcists as you were and he let Adam feel that they didn't want him there. “The fuck you think you're doing?” Arlo hissed at the brunette who was simply ignoring that they were even there. He sighed as you looked at you, something in his mimic told you he was sorry but you weren't able to see the guilt in his eyes due to his stupid mask. Fuck, he really couldn't leave that thing at home for just one day, could he?
Adam adjusted the guitar in his hands, made sure his fingers were placed on the right strings and then he started to play a kinda shitty sounding tune - knowing Adam it was shitty on purpose, there was no way he'd accidentally play bad. “I love you, bitch,” he spoke the words more than he sang them but it definitely made your lips twitch up in a grin. Arlo shot you a critical look, they were having none of it. “I ain't ever gon’ stop loving you,” there was a pause, then he finished, “Bitch.”
And that made you full on chuckle, the glimpse of hope that was suddenly visible through Adam's expression showed you that he knew he had fucked up, that he was sorry. And maybe he would apologize properly once the two of you were back at your apartment. “You’re not gonna simply forgive him with that sad excuse of an apology, right?” Arlo asked in shock as you got up and took a step forward to be able to wrap your arms around the first man's waist. “You ain't ever gonna stop loving me, huh?” you asked teasingly as your finger poked him in his side which made him flinch a little. “Dude, Y/N, he fucking overstepped boundaries and you just gonna forget and forgive because he pulled out his shitty guitar and played two chords?” Arlo complained and stepped up to the both of you, they seemed genuinely furious about it. “The fuck’s your problem man, this ain't your fight, this is our thing to deal with,” the brunette growled at them but they didn't care. To be honest, they never cared about anything Adam said or did to them, no matter if it was something positive or negative. “You’re seriously telling me you love that guy?”
You weren't giving Arlo the satisfaction of attention, instead you pulled Adam's mask up so that the LED face was resting on top of his head and the horns of it were near his neck. “I want a proper apology once we get home, if I don't get that, I'll find some other place to crash at for the night, am I clear?” you explained how it would go, all the playfulness was gone, there wasn't a smirk on your lips anymore and your eyes told Adam that you were serious about it, “And then I'd like to talk it out so that we can find a solution in case that shit should ever happen again.” The leader of the exorcists was quick to nod, followed by a loud and clear, “Yes, sir.” And for the moment that was enough. Enough to lean in and kiss him. Adam melted against your lips immediately, a small moan managed to slip past his lips. But the kiss ended as abrupt as it had started and Adam felt your hand on the back of his head, the mask caught most of the hit but he still felt it, “You fucking idiot.” That made said idiot grin one of his stupidly cocky grins, “Maybe, but at least I'm your idiot.” This time it was him who started the kiss, his wing quickly came up to block the view for Arlo, who was watching the two of you a little too intensive for Adam's liking.

Hi there!
So I just read your rules and I hope I'm not disrespecting any
So Price x son! Reader (platonic of course) where price invites 141 to his house and find out he has a son. I just have this stuck in my mind where the son (adopted or biological, I don't care) walks into the house and there are these Buff military men and he's just like "dad there are weird man in our house" or the son just opening the door making eye contact with everyone and just slamming the door shut after about a minute.
Sorry that this is so long, I hope you can work with this somehowe
Have the greatest day :D
I absolutely love your idea anon! I find it really wholesome. And I don't mind if it's long, the longer the better in my opinion. I hope this is what you wanted, thank you for your request, and have the greatest day too mate^-^
Papa Price is real
Tumblr media
Summary: Your father is finally coming home from his job for a while but unknown to you your father is bringing home some guests and maybe you might get along with them better than your father thought.
Warnings: Nothing but fluff, fatherly love, light swearing, gen z stuff<33, he/him pronouns (the reader is around 15-17), mistakes, a little rushed/short
Character(s): Price x son! Reader (platonic)
Ever since you woke up you had a huge smile on your face, I mean who wouldn't feel that way when they found out that their dad was coming home last night. You almost couldn't sleep from the news alone.
You even made sure to wear the hat that he gave you when he last visited. It was an otter bucket hat.
You have only seen your father a few times but that didn't change how you saw your father. John Price. You're actually very proud of your father, he is so brave and the fact he puts his life out there so other people can live theirs is just so cool to you.
It almost felt like it had been an eternity since you sat down on the couch waiting for your dad to come home, glancing at the clock every 2 minutes. But the time that you went to check the time again it'd only been 3 hours, making you groan loudly.
"Hun? what's wrong?" your mother would call out to you from the kitchen, knowing why you acted like this she missed him too but nevertheless she still asked. a soft smile grew on her face as she look towards your direction.
"I feel like I've aged 50 years!!" you would shout into a pillow, having nothing to do but sit there and go on your phone from time to time, leaving your mother to laugh to herself and shake her head.
It had almost been 5 hours and you felt like you were going to pass away until you heard a knock on the door.
He's here
Your mother didn't have time to move before she saw a flash of you sprint towards the door, a wide grin spread across you face as you opened the door.
"Father dearest-"
"..."
SLAM
Last time you remembered your father didn't have a mohawk and a baby face or a skull balaclava- which you must admit was fucking cool. wait. Were you getting robbed? No, if you were they wouldn't knock...unless they are just really shitty at their job.
But even with the proof they weren't robbing your family, you had frantically grabbed a pillow and opened the door again, ready to throw said pillow at the first person you see. Leaving your poor mother to process what you were doing.
"You have a son!?-"
Headshot!
"HA L"
"[Name]-" That's when you froze and looked at where the voice came from, it was your dad! So you weren't getting robbed.
"Dad there are weird buff men in front of our door."
"Alright..."
Things could have gone worse but they didn't! After papa Price explained who they were and why they were here you 'apologised' to the mohawk man who was called soap, which was weird but you don't judge before your mother welcomed the boys in.
You were just talking to the group of buff boys, calling Soap bestie whenever you had the chance while your father helped your mother make dinner. The boys trying their best to understand the things you were talking about, Gaz being the only person understanding half of what you were saying since he was the youngest out of the task force.
"My mother's cooking is bussin'"
"Excuse me???"
Requests: Open
A/N: I really hope you liked this because I don't know if I did that well with this :')

something to get used to (zoro x reader)
Summary: Both you and Zoro are afraid to lose each other and take too long to finally admit it.
Rating: G
AO3 link is in the replies to this post! I am a complete sucker for character A getting angry and avoiding character B at all costs, so here is an entirely self-indulgent fic and I hope you enjoy :)
***
Zoro had screwed up. Royally. 
It wasn’t exactly new for him, but this time, even he could tell it was a big one, seeing as it had been days since she had last spoken to him. 
At some point, Nami, who usually kept her nose out of things like this, had snapped at him for being an “insensitive ass”. While he certainly hadn’t appreciated the brutal honesty or choice of words, he knew she was right. Even Robin had intervened, telling him in that usual nonchalant tone of hers that he should probably do something about it soon. 
The thing was, he was trying, okay? It wasn’t like he was sitting on his ass and doing absolutely nothing. He had been trying to approach said crewmate for days now, but each time he tried, she would deliberately avoid eye contact, ignore his calls of her name and would be out of his sight within seconds of him spotting her. How big was this ship, anyway? It was starting to get ridiculous, the fact that it was this difficult to track down a single person, even if she didn’t want to be found. 
Frankly, the whole thing was starting to grate on his nerves too. How was he supposed to apologise to someone who was clearly not interested in being in the same room as him? Just this morning, he had spotted her in the kitchen talking to Sanji, and he’d be lying if he said he didn’t get annoyed at how she was chuckling at the love cook’s shitty jokes and bad pick-up lines. He’d tried to approach her, but before he could even get close it seemed she had sensed that he was there, and before he knew it, she was already on her feet and scuttling out of the room with her head down. Sanji could only stand there, stunned by the abrupt end to their conversation. 
The cook had promptly shot a glare in Zoro’s direction, which the swordsman returned evenly.
All in all, Zoro was at his wit’s end here, and he was running out of ideas. And patience.  
A sudden jerk on the boat had him nearly losing his balance, and shouts coming from the deck snapped Zoro out of his thoughts. From the crow’s nest he looked out the window, where a huge fleet of navy ships had gathered and which were quickly approaching the Sunny. Looking down, he noticed that the entire crew was gathering on the deck, including her. 
Without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed out of the crow’s nest and leaped down, landing smoothly on the deck with the rest of the crew, right next to her. Again, she didn’t acknowledge his presence, her eyes fixated stubbornly on the enemy in front of them. 
A small sigh escaped him as he readied himself for what was coming. He supposed the apology would have to wait for now. 
***
You were being petty, and you knew it. 
You should have already known the kind of person Zoro was by now: strong, fiercely loyal, and brave in the face of danger. He may be rough around the edges, his words often curt and harsh, but otherwise you knew that he was really a softie at heart and would do anything for his crew.
And it was precisely that part of him that worried you to no end. If it came down to it, you knew Zoro was prepared to sacrifice anything, including himself, as long as his friends were safe. 
That was why you had ended up losing your temper at him, after the crew barely managed to get away from Kizaru and Akainu after a recent brush with them. He had suffered severe burns in his attempt to help the crew escape, and because you hadn’t managed to duck out of the way in time. You should have been the one to suffer those injuries, but instead Zoro’s right arm had nearly been burned all the way through. It would have been worse than that if Franky hadn’t managed to refuel the ship just in time for a coup de burst then, that allowed all of you to narrowly escape. 
Thankfully, Chopper was able to save Zoro and fix his arm — the little reindeer had told everyone that if the injury had been any deeper, he wouldn’t have been able to use his arm like before. 
You had stayed behind in the men’s quarters to wait for Zoro to wake up. You had thought carefully about what you wanted to say, to ask if he was doing okay, to thank him for saving you or you might have been dead. 
But when he woke up and relief flooded you, your thoughts went haywire and the only thing you blurted out was: 
“Why did you save me? You shouldn’t have done that.” 
You hadn’t meant for it to come out that way, or to sound that angry or frustrated with him. Zoro had done you a huge favour, but you were reacting as if he had wronged you somehow. 
It was no wonder the swordsman had responded the way he had: frowning, his tone frigid as he snapped at you to leave him alone and that he could do whatever the hell he wanted.
By then you weren’t thinking anymore, moving and speaking entirely based on the emotions you felt: a storm of worry, regret, frustration, anger coursing through your veins. You had never been one to be able to hide your emotions well, and it all showed in your voice and tightly clenched fists that shook by your sides.
The argument rapidly escalated, and it didn’t take long for the crew outside to hear the raised voices. By then the both of you were going at each other without restraint, and Usopp and Chopper had to hold you back while you yelled at Zoro for being stupid and senseless in battle, for thinking that he could protect the crew all by himself. 
That seemed to trigger something in him, and you could see his eyes turn dark as he went livid. You knew you had gone too far then, and you were about to apologise, except that you were swiftly interrupted by his next words: 
“That’s my business, not yours. Just stay out of my way.” 
Silence. A deep, heavy silence filled the room. 
You knew that it was just Zoro mouthing off in the heat of the moment, but it didn’t change the fact that the words had cut you deeper than any blade could. The inexplicable pain that bubbled up deep within your chest had you flinching, your words dying instantly on your tongue. You knew what was coming when you felt a familiar lump in your throat and moisture gathering in the back of your eyes. 
At that moment, you didn’t really know what else you could do, other than run. So without another word, you had shrugged Usopp’s grip off your arms and fled the room, the sound of the closing door cutting off the cries of your crewmates for you to wait. 
A few days had passed since then, but you still couldn’t bring yourself to look him in the eye, or even be anywhere near him. It felt like you might burst into tears if you did, and crying was the last thing you wanted to do in front of him. 
Deep down, you knew that Zoro was right. What happened to him wasn’t your business at all, and if he wanted to protect his crew at the cost of his own body, it was his choice and you couldn’t change that. Nor was it your place to tell him what he could or couldn’t do. 
The rest of the crew obviously had their share of concerns for him as well, but it seemed they had already come to accept that Zoro wouldn’t change. The stubborn swordsman had his own set of values that were pretty much set in stone and he wouldn’t budge on them. 
So fine. You would stop caring. You would stay in your lane and not give a shit about what he did with his life. After all, that was what he wanted, right? 
Except, you couldn’t, and you knew damn well the reason why. 
Zoro may be dense, but you were no fool. You knew what those butterflies stirring in your abdomen meant whenever you saw that trademark, cocky smirk of his. You knew why you would find yourself breathless and lightheaded when you got a bit too close while training with him in the crow’s nest. And you knew perfectly well the reason you had been so deeply hurt by his words, by the implication that he wanted nothing to do with you, or you with him: 
You had fallen hopelessly for this man. 
…and you didn’t know what the hell you should do with these feelings. 
For now, burying it was the only answer you could come up with. It was clear enough that romance was far from Zoro’s mind. From what you could observe, it looked like the only things he really had any interest in was training, getting stronger, protecting his friends, and his ambition to become the strongest swordsman there was. That, and drinking lots of booze.
Romance? It would only slow him down, no doubt. Serve as nothing more than a distraction from his dream. And even if romance was on the cards, Zoro clearly felt nothing for you; that much had been made clear by what he said to you a few days ago. 
In any case, you had no time to dwell on these things. It was only distracting you from the huge fight at hand. A whole fleet of navy ships had finally caught up to the Sunny, and from what you could tell, Kizaru and Akainu were back, fully intent on achieving their goal of nabbing the crew after failing once already. 
You were occupied with fending off a whole crowd of marines. While they were lower-ranked, their numbers were slowly but surely pushing you back, and before long they had already encircled you, trapping you in. 
No one else was free enough to help, each of them engaged in their own battles at the moment. From the corner of your eye you could see Zoro, struggling to keep up with the pace of Kizaru’s attacks. His movements were duller than usual, no doubt because he still hadn’t fully recovered from the last battle. It was clear that Zoro was losing ground, however, and all you could think of was that you had to back him up as soon as possible. 
Just as you fought off another few dozen marines, sending them flying into the sea with your sword, a bright gleam of light caught your attention. 
You turned in that direction, and instantly the colour drained from your face when you saw Zoro on his knees, bleeding out and his swords nowhere in sight. Kizaru loomed over him, his raised foot glowing with a blinding yellow light. 
Time seemed to move in slow motion then, and the cries of your crewmates of Zoro’s name faded into the background, muffled as if you were underwater. Mustering strength you didn’t know you possessed, you knocked back the rest of the marines in your way, clearing the path towards Zoro.
Your body acted on instinct, moving before you could even think or register what you were doing. All you knew was that you had to get to him, before it was too late. You couldn’t lose him. You just couldn’t. 
Even the thought of it was too much to bear. 
Zoro was the only person in your line of sight as you surged forward, bolting through the air with such speed that the wind fiercely resisted in your face. You dove for the floor then, shoving Zoro out of the way as far as you could. He was heavy, but you managed somehow. 
The next thing you knew, you felt a sharp pain in your abdomen, which quickly spread to the rest of your body and you couldn’t hold back the scream that tore from your lips. You had been hit, your body breaking through the wood of the deck and the sheer weight of the force knocking the wind out of you. 
It felt like an eternity before you finally took in a sharp gasp of air, and when you did, a white hot pain surged through your body and you had to bite down on your lip to keep from screaming again. 
You couldn’t muster any strength to move, only able to let out a pained whimper when you felt a pair of strong arms grabbing you, dragging you out of the broken wood and holding you against a warm chest. 
Your vision was blurry now, everything a haze, but you could still make out green hair, and that annoying face that had occupied your mind for days now. It looked like he was shouting something at you, but you couldn’t really hear him. Your consciousness was fading, and you tasted the metallic tang of blood before spitting a mouthful out onto your shirt. 
There was a hand on your cheek now, and Zoro was shaking you to keep you awake. The jerk was only making the pain worse. Still, it worked for a few seconds. 
Then the exhaustion came like a tidal wave, and you found yourself rapidly succumbing to it. 
Just before your eyes slipped close, through the small slit of light left you kept your gaze on him, offering an upward twitch of your lips — hopefully that would make things right with him, after you had chickened out of a talk with him for so long. He deserved better than this, but this was all you could offer. 
A final cry of your name rang in your ears, and then your world turned black. 
***
It had been two days. Two days since they managed to get away from the navy, and she was still in a coma, showing no signs of waking up. Chopper had to do a blood transfusion for her seeing as she had lost a lot of blood, but for some reason she still hadn’t woken up. 
Zoro was practically losing his mind from worry, and resentment at the fact that he had been stupid enough to give Kizaru the chance to attack him like that, and that she had nearly been killed while trying to save him. 
For all that training, he was still too weak to protect the people he cared about. All he could do was stay by her side while she rested in the women’s quarters, hoping that she would wake up soon. The rest of the crew was worried too of course, but they seemed hopeful enough that she would recover in no time. One by one, they had taken turns to tell him the same thing, and while it quelled his anxiety just slightly, it didn’t take away the heavy, suffocating weight on his chest each time he looked at her sleeping face. 
“Staying here and not eating isn’t going to make her wake up faster.” Nami’s voice came from the doorway, and Zoro frowned in her direction.
“Later. I’m not hungry.” 
He heard her sigh, and then the sound of her approaching footsteps.
“She’ll be worried if she sees you like this too, you know.” She stopped by the other side of the bed, placing her palm on the sleeping woman’s forehead. “I’ll watch her for now. Go get some air, and take a bath. You stink,” she added as an afterthought. 
Any other day he would have barked right back at her for that, but Zoro didn’t have the energy to argue with Nami right then. Knowing there was no way he could out-argue her, he got up and left the room, but not before casting a lingering stare at the sleeping woman over his shoulder.
He supposed he would have to wait a while before making things right with her. He just hoped it wouldn’t take too long. 
***
When you woke up, you were greeted with the familiar sight of the ceiling of the women’s quarters. Your head throbbed with a dull pain, and you winced, trying to recall what had happened.
The last thing you remembered was passing out in Zoro’s arms after taking one of Kizaru’s hits. How long had it been since then? Were the rest of your friends okay? 
Was Zoro safe? 
Remembering the state that Zoro had been in just before you dove and pushed him out of the way, panic seized you and you rushed to sit up. You weren’t able to get up all the way though, pausing when you realised your hand was caught in something.
Your eyes dropped down, widening in surprise when you realised that your fingers were interlaced with someone else’s fingers. Your gaze trailed upwards, and found Zoro resting his head on the bed, sound asleep while seated in a chair that he had placed next to your side. 
What… What was he doing here? And why the heck was he holding your hand? 
You tried pulling your hand out of his grasp, but found that his grip was a little too tight. Had Chopper assigned him here to make sure you didn’t get out of bed? 
You didn’t want to wake the man though; suddenly your bravado from before had vanished. Without the adrenaline, you were back to your pathetic, cowardly self who was too afraid to talk to him, in fear that he might discover your feelings for him. Not to mention, you didn’t want to cry; at least not in front of him. It would only make him feel bad for something that wasn’t his fault. 
Carefully and gingerly, you tried to lift his fingers and extracted your fingers from his hold, one by one. With each finger that you lifted you noticed how calloused and rough his skin had become, no doubt from the countless battles and hours of gruelling training he would subject himself to every day. You were already smiling to yourself without realising it, chest swelling with the hope that he would one day be able to achieve his dream. If it was Zoro, you knew he could do it. 
It took a few minutes, but you were eventually able to get most of your hand free without waking the swordsman. He looked exhausted, and was probably recovering from his own set of injuries as well. 
It was just when you were about to get your last finger free that his hand suddenly grabbed yours again, and then you found yourself staring into a pair of piercing brown eyes. 
Your breath caught, and you practically forgot how to breathe when Zoro sprang up, the sleepiness completely gone from his eyes. His eyes were on you, and his grip on your hand had become tighter. 
“Zoro—” You could barely get a word out, before you felt his arms encircling you, and crashing your body to his chest. 
He was warm. Big. And everything felt right. 
His hold on you was tight, caging you in completely and leaving no room for you to wriggle away. Your hands were on his chest right next to either side of your face, and against your palm you felt his strong pulse, beating about as rapidly as yours was. 
“I’m sorry,” was the first thing he said, and it was the first time you had ever heard his voice waver. Zoro, the man who was always confident, sure and brazen, had never sounded more raw, more vulnerable to you in that moment, and for a while you didn’t know how to react other than to stay still and listen to his shaky breaths. 
“I didn’t understand until you took that blow for me,” he went on, and as he did you felt his arms tighten around you, pressing you closer to him. “I shouldn’t have said that to you. I’m sorry.” 
“It’s… It’s not your fault,” you replied, as tears gathered in your eyes. Damn it, this was why you didn’t want to talk; you just knew this would happen. Thankfully, him holding you meant he couldn’t see your face, but it did mean that he would easily feel your tears through his shirt. It took every fibre of your being to hold them in. 
“I overstepped, and I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have reacted that way when you just wanted to protect us, and I didn’t have the guts to talk to you about it until now, even though I know you were trying. Sorry.” 
“Quit saying that. I’m trying to apologise to you here.” 
You couldn’t help but chuckle at that. Zoro was just as grumpy as ever. 
“Why’d you do that? I could have taken it.” He was referring to Kizaru’s kick. 
You could only shrug in response. “I don’t know. My body was moving before I could think. I just… didn’t want you to get hurt.” 
“The same goes for me, you know,” he said, and those words filled you with some kind of hope. Hope that maybe he had the same feelings for you. But that was instantly crushed when he followed up with, “We’re nakama. I don’t want you getting hurt for me either.” 
It was like getting a bucket of cold water to the face. Of course, you had known it all along: Zoro only saw you as a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. At least now you knew, so your feelings could stay buried until they eventually disappeared with time. 
“But, it’s not just that.” 
You felt him pull away then, to hold you by your arms and look you in the eye. His expression was serious, and you felt your face begin to heat up under his intense stare. Instinctively, you looked away. 
“Look at me.” 
His words were commanding, and you obeyed, meeting his gaze once more. They were burning with an emotion that you couldn’t quite identify. 
“That day, when I saw you nearly get cut down, I… was afraid.” His fingers dug into your arms, and he looked downwards briefly. “I was afraid of losing you.” 
You swallowed, not quite sure where this was going. In your head, this was easy enough to rationalise. “Well, that’s because we’re nakama.”  
Zoro shook his head, the skin on his forehead crinkling with a frown. “I’ve been with the crew for a while now, and each time we had a close shave like that, I was afraid of losing them too. But this time, it was different.” His eyes returned to yours, locking onto your gaze and your parted lips. “It was different, because it was you.” 
You didn’t know what to make of that. Or rather, you knew, but you were afraid to draw that conclusion on your own, lest you get disappointed once more. 
“What… are you saying?” 
“What I’m saying is,” he responded, his lips turning up into a gentle smile, one so tender that it made your heart melt, “I have feelings for you.” 
Your heart may as well have stopped then. You blinked at him, doing a double take as you tried to register his words. Feelings? You? But what about nakama—
“I don’t expect you to return them, so don’t overthink things,” Zoro continued, cutting off your frenzied train of thought. He must have been able to tell from the confusion written all over your face. “Nothing’s going to change.”
A beat of silence passed, with neither of you saying anything. 
Eventually, Zoro found it awkward enough to clear his throat and to release your arms from his grip. “Anyway, I should get Chopper in here. He told me to let him know when you woke up.” 
The sound of the chair legs scraping against wood was the only sound in the room as he got up to leave, but he was swiftly halted in his tracks as your hand grabbed his wrist to hold him back. 
He watched wordlessly as you got off the bed, and you held back a grimace at the pain throbbing in your abdomen. You’d be an idiot if you allowed him to walk away after saying all that. His confession had been short and straight to the point, exactly the way Zoro was.
And, just like Zoro tended to do, it had also pissed you off a little, and that anger was stirring up in you a boldness that you couldn’t muster before. 
“Aren’t you forgetting something?” 
He seemed to be taken aback at the sudden ferocity in your tone, and didn’t seem to expect to be manhandled when you grabbed him by the collar without warning and yanked him towards you, until your noses were barely touching. His eyes were blown wide, and you could see his face begin to turn red from the proximity. Up close like this, you could feel his warm breaths on your face. 
“You didn’t ask me what I think,” you told him in an almost-whisper, and you watched as he swallowed, uncertainty swimming in his eyes. 
“What do you—” 
You pressed your lips to his then, cutting off whatever stupid excuse he had to say in his defence. He always did this, assuming things on his own and jumping to his own conclusions. 
Then again, you had gone ahead and done the exact same thing, so you were probably being a hypocrite. 
Not that you really cared; all that you could focus on then was his lips against yours, gentle and tender and soft. You had released your grip on his collar by then, instead resting your one hand on his hard chest while the other wrapped around his neck to pull him closer. 
Zoro didn’t show any resistance; in fact, he quite eagerly leaned into you, arms snaking around your waist to press your curves against his body and to deepen the kiss. Things slowly grew bolder, more daring as you felt his tongue sweep across the seam of your lips. You obliged, parting your lips for him and your knees nearly buckled when his tongue entered your mouth, sliding against your tongue and swallowing the soft moan that had unwittingly escaped you. 
“Zoro…”
You felt his fingers in your hair then, and with a soft pull he tipped your head back, angling your face so that he could deepen the kiss with renewed vigour. You couldn’t help but be swept along with his pace, allowing him to kiss you over and over and over, each kiss an affirmation that his confession was real, that he had wanted you just as much as you had wanted him all this time. 
The realisation had your chest swelling with joy, and there was no stopping the big smile that your lips spread into, which forced him to pull away from the kiss. Breathing heavily, Zoro rested his forehead against your head, allowing your noses to touch. 
“So tell me again, nothing’s going to change?” you taunted, licking your lips and smirking at the man. 
“Heh.” With a chuckle and a devilish grin that made you almost forget how to breathe, Zoro lowered his lips towards yours once more. 
“I guess this is something I could get used to.”

Consequences To Your Actions
Pairing: Charles Leclerc x Reader
Warning: 18+, language, little bit of nipple play, no sex, bit of dirty talk, French petname, fingering, female receiving
Word count: 1,637….a sort of short one to ease me back in
Note: I just want to apologise for how crappy I have been with my writing. Really really hoping I can get back into it again.
A little bit of excitement for you guys...I have a mafia Carlos idea brewing at the moment so that should be interesting!!
My requests are definitely open so if you want something specific let me know :)
Tumblr media
His eyes rolled.
He rolled them into oblivion.
You felt the anger bubble up inside of you. How could he be so stupid to roll his eyes with several cameras, interviewers and team staff. 
His arrogance radiated, everyone could feel it.
Charles had finally got a podium. It was a massive boost to his confidence, hence the whole pompous act he had going on during the post race press conference with Max and Checo.
The press wasn’t paying him any attention and it was clearly eating away at his ego.
His eyes locked on yours. You scowled at him, expressing your distain for his attitude.
Your scolding stare did nothing but bought a smirk to spread across his lips.
His smirk had the desired effect. You could feel the moisture gathering in the lace of your panties.
You and Charles had a mutual agreement. No strings, just sex and keep it quiet. It was a perfect setup, both healing from past relationship wounds and travelling around the world with the same schedule. It satisfied you both. Due to the four week long break between Australia and Azerbaijan, you both hadn’t seen each due to family and work commitments.
The press conference had started to wrap up as you got a text from your boss asking you to come to her office. 
Shit.
She must have seen Charles reaction. Notifications had started to flood in on all social media platforms, picking up on Charles’ little eye roll. 
You stormed out of the media room with Charles following quickly at your heels.
“Y/N wait for me.” The Monegasque shouted after you.
Luckily the Ferrari hospitality wasn’t too far from the media rooms.
Charles’ fingers touched the bare skin on your arm. His touched burned deep into your skin and started to radiate through your body. You were snapped out of your trance as you turned and slammed into his muscular fireproof clad chest.
“What?” 
Confusion flooded his features.
“Y/N…” He whispered.
“You know what Charles, you may have just got a podium after a shitty couple of races but it doesn’t mean you get to ruin everyone else day just because your ego got bruised due the conference.” Your words dripped with venom.
“I’m so sor.”
“Save your apology. Thanks to you I am about to get told off because you cannot control your actions and be mature.”
Charles’ face dropped as he studied your features. He had never seen you this angry before.
You turned away from him and rushed to your manager’s office.
The meeting consisted of you getting scolded like a toddler about how unprofessional Charles had been and that you should’ve prepared him properly for the conference. 
Walking out of the hospitality building you looked at your phone. Two new messages from Charles.
Charles: I am so sorry Y/N, I acted like a dick and didn’t think how it would affect you.
Charles: This is not how I wanted this weekend to go after not seeing you for four weeks. I’m in my drivers room, come see me please x
You sighed. All the anger disappeared at his apology.
Slowly you made your way to his driver room.
His door was left slightly open. “Charles. It’s me.” 
Your eyes scanned the Monégasque. His race suit still hanging off his hips, his fireproof top clinging to ever curve of his muscles. This is how you liked him, post race and untamed. 
“I am so sorry Y/N. I wasn’t thinking at all about how my actions could reflect on you. Please forgive me.” Charles closed the gap between you to enclose your face in his large hands.
His touch sent shivers throughout you body. 
All weekend the pair of you had struggled. You wanted nothing more but to be alone with Charles so that you could both forget about the pressures and demands of the job. 
His eyes stared into yours. The green orbs begged more than his words did for forgiveness. You wanted to forgive him but something about this all seemed like it was far too easy for him.
“I don’t know Charles. That meeting was awful, she really laid into me. If you really are sorry, you’ll show me.” You held Charles eye contact as you detached his hands from your cheeks.
His hopefully eyes dropped into sadness.
“Actions speak louder than words Char.” You purred as you smirked up at him.
You watched Charles’ eyes wash with lust.
“Oh mon cherie, I’m going to show you how sorry I really am.” 
He looked at you like you were his next meal. He played the game of cat and mouse too well. He closed the gap, you stepped back repeatedly until your back hit door. 
Charles wrapped his hand around your neck and slammed his lips on your. The kiss was rough, filled with so much desire, it made your knees weak. You gave up all control to him and let his tongue roam your mouth as his other hand made it’s way down you body and to your skirt.
You were dripping. You arousal started to seem through the lace of your thong and down you thigh as Charles kissed and sucked all the right places on your neck. Your small moans bounced off the walls of his driver room.
“Be a good girl and stay quiet for me or you’ll get us caught.” Charles whispered in your ear as his fingers dipped into you panties and circled your clit.
He was right where you craved him. The pleasure washed through you. All you wanted to do was moan his name, tell him and everyone how good he made you feel. 
“Take it off.” Charles grunted at you, eyes shifting to your shirt.
You did as you were told. The shirt was gone in seconds.
Charles chuckled.
“You that eager for me to see those pretty tits of yours.” Charles eyes were glued to your breasts as they rose with your heavy breathing.
The feeling of Charles’ fingers was staring to become overwhelming. He was pleasuring you but by god was he dragging it out.
Slow sloppy kisses along your neck.
Gentle nibbles on your earlobes.
Fingers circling your clit leaving you wanting him to do so much more.
“Char pl..please more.” 
Your eyes locked, pleading for him to give you something. His free hand pulled a cup of your bra down.
You watched in awe as Charles’ tongue flicked over your hard nipple, causing you whimper at the pleasure shooting down to your core.
Charles fingers came away from your clit and down towards where your wetness was leaking. Without warning, he pushed one singular finger inside you.
“Charles.” You were getting impatient. The orgasm you craved was teetering on the edge. 
One look in your eyes and Charles knew you were close.
Charles added a second finger. He started off gentle, curling his fingers against your g-spot.
You were a mess. Mascara streamed down your face due to the torture Charles was making you endure.
“I really am sorry mon cherie.” Charles whispered in your ear.
“I only ever want to make that pussy wet.”
The speed of his fingers increased.
“I want to always make you look this fucked every time I have my fingers inside you.”
He adjusted the angle of his fingers.
“I only ever want to hear you moaning my name and begging me to fuck you.”
Charles got faster. It was the perfect combination.
His possessive word caused your head to tilt back against the door as the the knot of pleasure in your stomach started to reach its peak.
“I don’t ever want to make you mad.”
You were so close. Charles could feel you clenching around his fingers.
“Cum for me mon cherie.” Charles whispered as he latched himself to your exposed nipple.
His words of encouragement pushed you over the edge. 
“Fuuuck Char.” 
There was nothing you could do, your whole body washed with pleasure as you throbbed around Charles’ fingers.
“That’s it, that’s a good girl.” Charles cooed, holding you steady as he continued to help you ride out your orgasm.
Charles just watched, dick completely hard against his race suit leaking with pre-cum.
A knock on the door interrupted both of your trances.
“Charles, it’s Pierre you ready to leave yet?”
“Shit what do we do?” You frantically pushed Charles away from you.
“Just go into the bathroom.” Charles picked your shirt up and pushed you towards the small bathroom.
You re-dressed and adjusted yourself whilst trying to listen into what the two drivers where talking about. 
“Mate, why does it look like you’ve just had sex?”
You sniggered at Pierre’s question. Shit. 
The door swung open.
“Hi y/n. Your mascara is a bit smudged” Pierre smirked.
You frantically rubbed at your face trying to remove the marks and hide your embarrassment.
“Erm thanks.” You smiled at the Frenchman.
“Well it’s about time you two did something about the sexual tension. It was really starting to make the paddock uncomfortable.”
Both you and Charles looked at Pierre in confusion. Both of you had tried to be discreet.
He rolled his eyes and tutted.
“I’ll meet you at the car Charles. Don’t be too long will you.” Pierre winked and walked off.
You checked in the mirror that you had removed the mascara smudges from your face and turned to Charles.
“Don’t ever piss me off like that again.” You pointed at him.
“You seemed to enjoy the apology though.” Charles smirked, eyeing you up and down.
“Just because I enjoyed it doesn’t mean you are forgiven.”  You cooed as you went to leave.
Charles grabbed your wrist and span you round into him.
“And how do I get you to forgive me?” He brushed your hair out of your face.
“Actually I have a few ideas, if you wouldn’t mind me trying.” He didn’t give you time to respond before his lips had captured yours in a heated, lust filled kiss.

begin again - j.p
❥ james potter x fem reader
❥ summary; after months of getting over a rough break up, you're ready to start again
❥ warnings; none?? i think?? just mentions of past shitty relationship
❥ word count; 1,375
❥ a/n; based off begin again by taylor swift (i prob want to start writing more fics based of taylor songs so write ur ideas in the comments)
Tumblr media
you took a deep breath and starred at yourself in the mirror. your hair was in a braid that fell down your back. you were wearing a red knee-length dress that you bought for this date and you wore heels of the same colour.
you had thought, "should i really wear those heels? maybe i should take them off." but then you realized you wanted to wear them. you realized there was no one to tell you what to wear anymore so you kept them on.
after the last check you looked okay, you headed to the hall of your flat. you put on a beige coat and you didn't forget your headphones.
one of your favourite songs started playing. the one he never liked, the one he never understood, the one he would skip to some of his unknown indie bands when you two were in his car. thousands of memories came to flood your mind but you didn't turn off the song, no, you turned off the lock, sighed and headed outside.
i should've taken a nice long walk to calm down my nerves, you thought as the bus comes to a stop close to the café you and james were meeting in. you were too early.
you soon were standing in front of the café, nerves were covering every inch of your body and you felt like you were going to vomit any second.
you checked the time again. it was 2:35p.m.
what will james think of me if he finds out i am almost 30 minutes early to this date?
you were sure he wasn't going to be there yet. you knew james from work and he was always late, even to important events.
you walked into the café, welcoming the warmth after standing in a colder november weather. you took off your headphones and looked around, searching for an empty table.
and that's when your eyes landed on him. he noticed you too. he stood up and waved at you with a smile. james was wearing a red jumper and black trousers. you realized that his black hair were much less messy than when you see him at work. he tried to style it for this date. for you. the thought made butterflies fly in your belly.
when you reached his table, he pulled out the chair, took off your coat and helped you get comfortable.
wow, this is nice. he had never done this.
"you're early," you commented, trying to hide your smile and blush.
"well, i'm not going to screw a date up before it even begins, am i? and, by the way, so are you."
he had never come on time on our dates.
"you look very beautiful, by the way," james said, making blood rush into your cheeks at the speed of light. "red suits you very well."
"you don't look bad yourself," you complimented him back. "although, i must admit i like you better with your hair all messy."
he chuckled. what a wonderful sound.
"i thought girls don't like it."
"but do you?"
he shrugged. "yeah."
"then you should style it how you want," you advised.
he stared you for a second and then said, "you're very wise."
you smiled and look at your lap.
he always thought i was a dumb fool.
the waitress came and you ordered your coffees. james likes his sweet and you do too. he never did, though. he liked his coffee black just like his soul.
you two talked for hours. about your childhood, adulthood, family, almost everything. well, mainly james talked. you preferred to listen and add something then and there.
but then james suddenly stopped talking and shook his head.
"i'm sorry," he apologised. "i get very excited when someone is interested in me. i could talk for hours without stopping. i sincerely apologise. now, you tell me something about yourself."
"uh," you said. he always talked about himself and never cared what you got to say. you weren't used to it. "i haven't— i haven't got much to say."
"oh, come on, you don't need to be shy with me, love," he winked at you and slightly giggled. and then, you talked so much you were afraid you were going to talk his ears off but that fear quickly vanished when he kept asking questions about you. he wanted to know you. he wanted to know what you like and what you don't. you've never felt so interesting before. you couldn't when he never let you say anything, always pushing you down with his words and actions.
at one point, james threw his head back and laughed, gaining attention of the people around you two.
"you're hilarious, you know that?" he was still laughing, like a little kid.
you didn't. it was strange james thought that because he never did.
you've spent months getting over him though you haven't gone on a date cause you were worried the love would quickly come to an end.
but on a wednesday, in a café, you watched it begin again.
begin again begin again begin again begin again begin
next week, on a second date, you and james ended up in your flat. he immediately commented how cozy it is as you showed him around.
when you two came into your room, james perked up at the amount of vinyls in the corner of your bedroom.
he came a little closer and you watched him anxiously, hoping he will like your music taste.
"wow!" he breathed out. "i had never met a girl who has as many james taylor records as me!"
you chuckled, relieved. "well, i do."
"do you mind putting it on?" he asked, still admiring them.
"no, not at all," you answered. "go ahead."
after a minute or so, he pulled out fire and rain by taylor. he started slowly dancing and handed you his hand. you took it without hesitation.
you two danced throughout the whole song, complimemting each other's moves as you did so. at the end, your head was on his chest and his arms around your middle. you felt so comfortable with him and even after the song started again, you and james just stood there in the middle of the room, slightly swinging.
you knew that when you hear this song from now on, you wouldn't think of him rolling his eyes at your music taste. you wouldn't hear his voice in the back of your mind, complaining about everything. you would think of you and james dancing in your bedroom as you gave chance to love again.
when it was getting late and you and james had finished the film you watched (it was grinch, you both were in a mood for christmas film). you walked him outside to his car.
"you will have to tell me more about the films your family watches every christmas next time," you said.
james grinned at you. "next time, huh?"
"we-well, yeah. . . if you want."
"i very much want a next time, yes."
"okay, good."
you two stood there for a minute awkward silence, just looking at each other. you watched him take a deep breath.
"i, um, can i kiss you?"
you didn't wait a second to think it through. you nodded eagerly and james smiled, finding it adorable.
he took your face in his palms and leaned in, giving your lips a sweet kiss and you felt your knees getting weak. when he pulled away, you both smiled at each other.
"good night, james," you whispered.
"good night, y/n," he replied. he got into his car and opened his window to say, "have sweet dreams. about me." he winked at you, making you blush, before driving away.
you stood on the street, your fingers on your lips, still feeling james there. you liked him very much and at that moment, there was no one else in the world. only you and him, problems and fears far away.
it was early to wonder if this could work but you wished badly it would.
something great was brewing and you could feel it in your bones. you've been afraid to love but then at the end of november, late in the night on the street in london, you watched it begin again.

A little too far || Xavier Thorpe x reader
Summary: Xavier and y/n had always had some sort of rivalry, neither of them really even noticed when they started having feelings for each other. Xavier takes everything a little too far when y/n is having a bad day. He ends up apologising and everything leads to confessions.
Warnings: swearing, angst to fluff ig, panic/anxiety attack I think that’s all.
Master list
REQUESTS OPEN!!
—————————————————————
Tumblr media
To say you were having a shitty day was an understatement. You were already done with today and couldn't take anymore life could throw at you. So as soon as you saw nevermore's "tortured artist" Xavier Thorpe coming your way, you groaned, already knowing what was coming from your rival. You tried to just walk past him but that didn't go to plan.
"Hey y/n!" He smirked, "you look worse than you normally do" he stated, a proud glint in his eye. You rolled your eyes already sick of the conversation which had only just begun.
" What do you want Thorpe? With all the attention you give me some would figure you like like me" You replied, not being able to resist a sassy comeback. His face dropped. His eyes glared holes into you. You didn't back down tho, keeping eye contact till he looked away.
"Well you..." Xavier trailed off, clearly thinking of something to say in return to your comment. "Wouldn't like me anyway, you know, with such a cold heart you just couldn't like someone" he snarled, but had a menacing smile at the same time. This time your face dropped. And your hands slowley began to shake, your bottom lip quivering, almost as if you were cold. That had hurt. You normally wouldn't let anything Xavier said get to you but for some odd reason that did. You didn't like the thought of him or anyone thinking that you were cold hearted and couldn't feel love for another person. You were on the verge of tears, they haven't formed yet but you knew they were coming. You snapped.
"You know, I have just as many feelings as you do!" You shouted, the rest of the student would usually just turn there heads at your bickering and they did today too. You felt yourself begin to get more emotional the more you slowly spiralled. "And it hurts just as much when someone just steps all over them" your voice got higher and it wobble during the sentence.
A look of disgust washed over Xavier's face, "god your so pathetic!" He half yelled, "and don't you ever compare yourself to me" he seethed. Tho for a quick second a different emotion plastered on his face when he saw your now clear distress. He masked it too quick for you to read tho. You stayed quiet. "School would probably shut down if you weren't here!" He laughed, antanonisinly, “queenie isn't here!" He mocked. You had been popular, you had hung out with Bianca for a long time, and you did have the role of school ‘queen' for a while until you noticed how mean Bianca and the others were toeveryone. So you left all that behind and became friends with Enid and Yoko, and sort of Wednesday. But it still hurt when he brought it up. Living in a rich family is no fun, and he of all people should know that.
"I like your knew earrings" he mocked. Tears began to spill down your face and you felt everything rush at you.
"Shut up" you whispered, barely audible. Your mind fogging up.
"Are those real diamonds, y/n?" He asked, he knew what he was doing.
'Shut up" a little louder. Your breathing began to pick up.
Did you work for that money?" He snarked.
"Shut your mouth" you warned, voice cracking.
"Or did your "daddy' buy them for you-" you cut him off.
"SHUT UP!" you cried, slowley backing away, his eyes widened at your outburst. You ran into the Forrest. No one would disturb you there, meaning no one would witness you having an anxiety/panic attack.
Xavier, tho being the cause of your attack, began to feel bad. Immediately. He would never admit it but he did like you. He just ‘knew’ that you didn't like him and so kept on being mean anyways.But he knew he had went too far this time.
Soon you heard footsteps coming closer and the growing yelling of your name. You tried to get your breathing under control but it was no use, you had let Xavier get the best of you and you were paying the price for it. All you could think about was what he had said. Yeah you weren’t perfect! But you weren’t heartless! We’re you…?
Finally Xavier found you, and the sight before him broke his heart. He had caused this. You were sitting against a tree with your knees to your chest and your head in your hands, shaking and crying. He ran up to you and kneeled in front of you. Slowly he reached out and put his hand on your shoulder. “Y/n…” he whispered softly. “Look at me…please” he asked, you obliged and looked him straight in the eye. He looked oddly guilty. “Y/n you have to control your breathing ok?” He said softly, rubbing your arm soothingly.
“I-I can-cant” you breathed.
“Breath with me okay?” He questioned. you nodded, answering his question. “Okay. In…” you breathed in with him. “And out…” you copied him. “In…” you breathed in. “Out…” you breathed out. After repeating this a few times you finally got your breathing under control and had relaxed a little. He hugged you.
He was now sat with his back against the tree and you were on his lap with your head on his chest. He had his arms wrapped around you protectively, like you would fade away if he let go. “I’m so so sorry y/n…” he sighed. “I know I went too far and..and I don’t even know why I always act like I hate you” he said, exasperated.
“What do you mean?” You asked, confused. You had accepted his comfort but you thought that the feeling of hatred was still mutual. Well you had never actually hated him he just got on your nerves but you did actually like him. Who wouldn’t? He was hot, had a good personality, and he had good hair, drawing and lovely eyes.
“Look y/n, I get that you might not feel the same and i totally understand that, especially after what just happened but… I like you okay! No you know what scratch that I think I might even love you!” He rambled. You smiled to yourself, cuddling into his chest further. “I don’t expect you to like me back or anything I just thought it was better that you know-” you cut him off. You closed the gap between you both and your lips collided. His lips were soft and moved in sink with yours. The kiss was perfect, full love, passion and a little lust. You broke away.
“I like you too Xavier, and that comes to a surprise to me too, trust me” you laughed, he laughed with you.
For the rest of the day you and Xavier skipped classes and sat there, getting to know each other even more and laughing. This was defienatly the start of an amazing relationship.

I’m with all the comments and anons asking about a part two for the angsty fic, only if Pedri regrets what he’s said
Here it is, finally! Thank you for big support on this one, hope I satisfied everyones wishes here🫶🏻
warning: smut
——————————————————————————
Tumblr media
After Pedri very directly told you to try and avoid him, that’s really all you did. It’s not like you wanted to see him either. The picture of him you created in your head crumbled down into pieces that cut you inside. Internet really is a deceiving place. The cursing loop of running into him continued but only now you were changing your route,turning your head away, doing anything you could just to stay clear of his piercing gaze.
You were hurt, anger towards him was begging to be let outside, but you would never show him how much that meant to you. Not like he would care anyway. Or that’s what you thought. That’s also what Pedri thought until he caught himself furrowing his eyebrows because you were obviously turning your head away from him. Today practiculary. You were on your way home, but decided to stop by at a coffee shop. As you were about to enter the store, you caught a glimpse of Pedri and rushed inside. He ,of course ,noticed this and followed you inside.
Truth to be told, he found himself being disgusted by his own behaviour. You didn’t do anything and yet he blew you off like that. Upon arriving home that day, he really started thinking about his actions and realized just how shitty that was. He also got scared that fame started to change him and threw a tantrum but that’s beyond the point. You made your way to the counter, telling your order to the barista before you felt someones presence behind you. As you were about to turn around, the familiar voice made your blood boil and stomach flip.
“Add another there and put that on me”
You turned to face him.
“Who is following who now?”
Pedri felt his cheeks flush before composing himself to speak.
“Look, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have talked to you like that”
Barista placed down your cup of coffee which was your escape route from Pedri’s so called apology. You took the cup in your hands, ignoring the fact that it was burning your fingers
“You hurt my feelings, not my wallet. So buying me coffee isn’t gonna do shit” you said, exiting the shop.
Pedri stood there for a few moments, just watching you walk out of his sight. That’s what he told you to do and yet he was coming after you now. For some unknown reason, Pedri was set to fix this mistake. He acted like a shitty person and just wanted you to accept the apology, that’s all there is to it. Or that’s just what he told himself. A few days later, he found himself thinking about you at training.
Afterwards, he shook his thoughts away while driving with Gavi. They stopped by at a supermarket so Pedri could get his beloved bananas. This wasn’t the place they usually went to so Pedri had to ask the worker where the bananas were at.
“Just behind this corner, turn left,tho I’m not sure if there are any left, the shipping is late”
Gavi was first the reach the isle before turning to Pedri “Isn’t that the girl you were fussing over?” Pedri rushed over and it indeed was you. With the last of bananas as well.
“Hell yes it is” Pedri said, walking towards you and placing a hand over bananas you held in your hand. You looked up at him and instantly regreted your decision to step a foot in here “What the hell Pedri?”
“Hey, I’m still asking for forgiveness but I’m also asking for those bananas”
“What do I have to do with either of those things?” you asked, just wanting to get away.
“Well, you’re the one I’m apologising to and you’re also holding them bananas” he said, slightly pulling them towards himself.
You two basically started yanking the fruit from each others hands before Gavi inturrupted.
“Pedri you can’t just yank the bananas from her, she took them first”
“Which side are you on?”
“Hers! The hell’s with you?” Gavi said, pushing Pedri from you. Now the boys started bickering with you in between, causing the worker to come by.
“I’m going to need you three out”
You ended up in front of the market, without the bananas, still with Pedri. Gavi stormed off to another store, eager to get you two the bananas you oh so wanted. And also to stop himself from punching Pedri in the face.
“Why do you suddenly care so much?” You turned to Pedri, all serious.
“I told you, I acted like shit and you’ve been stuck in my mind ever since. I just want us to be on good terms if we’re gonna continue bumping into each other constantly”
“Stuck in your mind, ha?” You said, teasing him a bit and letting your guard down.
“Well, you’re quite hard to forget” he replied, locking eyes with you, scanning your face “and aslo quite pretty”.
You felt your face heat up, pink tint decorating your cheeks. Suddenly,a banana flew at your direction, hitting Pedri in the face.
You both turned to Gavi who had a frown on his face, carrying a bunch of the yellow fruit.
“What the fuck?” Pedri yelled at him.
“Let’s just go” Gavi said, placing a banana in your hands and leaving towards the car.
Pedri turned to you again “So?”
“So what?”
“Do you finally forgive me?”
“I don’t know if I want to forgive you” you said, walking away from him. Pedri got into his car and headed towards Gavi’s home to drop him off.
‘Football golden boys, Pedri and Gavi thrown out of the store for arguing with an unknow girl over some bananas’
Gavi spoke up, reading the newly put headline.
“You know we gon get detention for this from Xavi, prepare to die at training tomorrow”
“That’s the last thing I care about now” Pedri replied, irritation evident in his tone.
“She’s pretty cute” Gavi said
“She is”
“So you like her?”
“I don’t know, I’ve grown fond of her cause I acted that way,I just want her to forgive me”
“Okay, you like her” Gavi said, a satisfied grin on his face.
Pedri soon realized that he indeed, did develop some feelings for you. You were not throwing yourself at his feet. He was having trouble even talking to you now, let alone asking you out. That’s exactly why he was so pulled to you . Even tho he was the one who told you to avoid him, he didn’t expect for you to actually do that. Now he had to find a way to win you back. You also started thinking about him differently, even thinking about forgiving him, he was one of your favourites after all. But all of that was stressing you out, so you made a deal with your friends to go clubbing on friday, to get your mind off of Pedri.
Friday rolled around, you were having fun, drinking and dancing until one of your friends started throwing up, the other left with her hook up. You gave all your money to the third so she can get the uber for the one throwing up, all in all,the night became a mess. You decided just to go home yourself, but as you stepped outside the club you were met with pouring rain. Alone, without money, in a short dress, 30 minute walk to your house and it was 2am. You cursed yourself for being so careless and stupid. You took your phone out, scrolling trough contacts,trying to find someone who can pick you up. Suddenly, a very much familiar green car parked in front of you. The window rolled down and you met eyes with Pedri, once again.
“Need a ride?”
Sighing, you ran inside, leaning back in the passanger seat. You closed your eyes, trying to calm yourself.
“Look, we need at least 20 minutes to get to my house so-“
“So you better get comfortable” Pedri said, his eyes trailed your figure, landing on the skin of your exposed thighs. The dress you wore was already short but it ridden up, leaving little space for imagination.
You noticed Pedri’s gaze and tried to pull it down, mumbling a thank you to him.
“Well I owe you, don’t I?” He said, getting back on the road.
“Will you now listen to what I have to say?” he said after some time spent in silence,glancing over to you.
You kept your eyes on the road, swallowing.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what else to say or do to make you forgive me. I shouldn’t have acted the way I did, I told you already I’ve been thinking about it everyday”
You opened your mouth to answer but he didn’t let you.
“That’s the apology part, but I also wanna tell you something else”
“My house is just around the corner” you said sternly. To be fair, you were scared of what he has to tell you. You were even more scared of what you’re gonna do about it.
Pedri pulled up in your driveway, turning off the car.
“I think…I think I have developed feelings for you” he said, avoiding your eyes.
“What?” You felt your heart thump against your chest. The air in the car suddenly became suffocating, you felt your palms sweat and cheeks flush.
“I’ve became pulled to you, I know ironic after I said what I said. But I like you, I really do. I understand if you slap me now and tell me to fuck off but I just had to get this of my chest” he said, finally having the courage to look at you. Now, you were the one avoiding his gaze.
Pedri was waiting for you to say,do something, anything but the last thing he expected was for you to laugh.
“You know what’s funny? You could have said something much worse, could’ve done something worse and I would still think about you. I would still make space for you to comeback, I would still let you talk to me” you said, now turning your body towards his. Pedri could hear his heart in his ears, everything became hot as you leaned in closer to him, placing a hand over his neck. He could feel your breath against his lips.
“So please don’t make me regret this” you said, connecting your lips. Pedri grabbed your cheek, deepening the kiss. Your lips molded into each other, the feeling so unfamiliar yet so right. The kiss soon became heated and Pedri disconnected your lips, still holding onto your cheek. He hesitated a bit before whispering against your lips
“I want you”
With that, you moved on the drivers seat, straddling him. Pedri moved the seat behind, giving you more space. The dress now completely rose up, exposing your lacey underwear to him. Pedri’s fingers gently grazed your thighs before moving up to your waist. You leaned in again, leaving light kisses on his jaw before your mouth came to his ear.
“Then take me”
Pedri’s lips found yours once again, enveloping you in a heated makeout, all the tension from running into each other constantly was now released. His hands pulled the straps of your dress down. Leaving your mouth, he started leaving kisses down your neck and collar bones, before pulling your bra down. His lips found your nipple, making you squirm. You circled your hips, grinding against the erection that formed in his jeans.
His fingers moved your thong to the side, meeting with your slick. His finger easily slipped inside, making you let out a low moan. You undid his jeans and he lifted his hips up to give you space to pull them down. You freed his cock, giving it a few strokes, smearing the precum, making Pedri hiss in your neck. You teased him by rubbing the tip trough your folds before letting him fill you up.
You both let out a moan at the sensation, pulling each other in a messy kiss. You started moving against him, the windows became foggy and the air smelled of sex. You kept moaning into each others mouth, his hands roaming your body while you held onto his shoulders for support.
“I’m not so annoying now, am I?” You teasingly said, breathing heavily.
“Fuck, don’t try to tease when you’re taking my cock so greedily” Pedri replied, kneading the flesh of your ass.
“Pedri, I’m so close” you moaned into his neck. His fingers met with your clit, sending you over the edge. He started bucking his hips up, chasing his own orgasm. He pulled out, giving his cock a few tugs before coating your underwear and stomach in his cum. Your head fell on his chest, trying to catch your breath. His hand hooked under your chin, making you look up at him.
“Does this mean I’m finally forgiven?”
“Oh, you definitely are”
——————————————————————————
a/n: Oof, that was quite the ride, and I mean that in both ways ;)

Steddie microfic: Slay me dead
Corroded Coffin’s biggest gig yet makes Eddie hotter for Steve than ever… till he almost misses the little things that matter.
For @steddiemicrofic January prompt ‘hole.’ WC: 404. Rating: E. CW: Foreplay, sex, mention of sex toys. Tags: Rising rockstar Eddie, wannabe pop-star Steve, angst and fluff, shameless pet names.
***
Eddie bounces backstage, ears ringing with an electric guitar death-knell so metal he could die happy now. Steve waits, wearing skin-tight gold lamé pants. Ooooozing sex.
“We slayed ’em!” Eddie yells. “A crowd of five-fucking-thousand!”
He slams against Steve and they kiss, tongues thrusting deep, teeth skimming tender flesh. Steve sucks hungrily on Eddie’s lower lip, while Eddie squeezes Steve’s shiny ass: 
“Butt plug in, Stevie?”
“Shit! Forgot, um… Screw it. Sorry.” Steve flinches—tenses?—smears his fingers along those kiss-swollen lips.
Gnnnng!
Any blood remaining in Eddie’s brain rushes south. “Apologise ye not, Princess. Luuurve watching you prepare. Just want ‘in’ so bad.”
On the dressing room couch, Steve kneels, shirtless, straddling Eddie's hips. Working his sexy, sinewy fingers in and out of his sexy, sensuous mouth.
“Strings of saliva should noooot be this alluring.” Eddie's nails zigzag down Steve's delicious torso, snagging chesnutty hairs beneath his taut stomach. “You could be in porn, Babe.”
“Zip it. Or I’ll bill ya.”
Steve’s brow creases in super-hot concentration. He peels that golden second skin low down his thighs, mixes lube with spit, twists his hips so Eddie can see. Hastily wriggles his fingers inside. Soon, he’s gasping, bouncing lightly on his knees. He’s finger fucking himself, readying to lower himself onto Eddie’s ragingly ready dick…
…when Eddie finally looks into Steve’s huge, dark, sad eyes. Steve turns away.
“Stevie?”
Steve sighs, shudders, drags his fingers out and aligns himself for the ride. Eddie catches Steve’s wrist.
“Darlin'? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Steve tugs free, absent-mindedly slicks his decorously mussed hair. “Shitty timing, Sweetcheeks. I’m good, I...”
“Woah, let's sloooow this right down. If you're not totally okay with… Fuuuuck!”
Steve clenches his jaw, slowly impales himself, slaying Eddie dead mega-quick.
Steve opens up afterward, when they’re entangled together in a sweaty, hairy heap: “Your manager handed back my lousy demo tape. Said nobody's interested. Felt like I'd been shoved into a black hole, but… Over it already.”
“Holy shit. Sorry.” Eddie kisses Steve’s brow. “They’re morons. Takes time, okay?”
“Yeeeah. Guess there’s shittier gigs than being your fuck-toy.”
Eddie grimaces, traces Steve’s cheekbone adoringly with his thumb. “Next time I’m blinded by your hotness like a testosterone-fired apeman, slap me?”
Steve sorta laughs. “Not my kink.”
“Let’s find what is, Gorgeous.”
Eddie rolls on top, smothers every part of Steve with kisses. Then whispers ‘I love you’ as Steve comes, and till Steve’s asleep in his arms.

so i spent my weekend writing 10k words of student comments and i’m coming down with something that’s making my throat desperate to escape my body BUT i have made progress in my thoughts on the pit babe dirty dancing au
okay so this au does not follow the plot of the movie - it takes characters and events as gentle guidelines and possibilities.
Charlie has just recently landed a summer job at Tony Chen’s vacation resort. He’s been looking after his younger brother Jeff for a while now, and he makes a deal with Tony to let Jeff stay at the resort during his summer break from uni. Charlie is working as an events person - running activities with the guests. He is immediately enamoured with Babe, who is a dance instructor.
Babe is in struggle city - he’s been dreading coming back this summer after a drunk hook up with Way leaves him mpregant (i’ve just decided now that yes, we’re keeping the omegaverse. although it could also work with Way just being a really shitty ex). Way is Tony’s nephew and cares about little except his reputation. He wants nothing to do with Babe and the pup. Babe doesn’t want to keep the pup, but cannot afford the procedure. He is, of course, smitten with Charlie, but can’t find it in himself to act on it because he’s very guarded at present.
Jeff, staying under the radar, doesn’t move around the resort much. He mostly sticks to employee areas and stays as far away from Tony as possible (he’s grateful to be here, but does NOT like the man). When he does venture out, he finds himself unconsciously drawn towards events that Alan is running, though he buries his nose in his book any time he thinks the older man might look at him.
Alan is the leader of the dance crew and a mentor to all staff (who aren’t loyal to Tony). He’s been working at Chen’s for years and has a loyal customer base who buy private lessons from him each year. He also runs accessible lessons for everyone at the resort. He has a firm rule about not getting involved with the guests (prior experience has taught him it’s a bad idea). He notices that Jeff is almost always around his activities, though he never participates. He mistakes Jeff for a guest (a very, very pretty guest), and despite the inexplicable butterflies he gets in his stomach after the 5th time he catches Jeff staring, he confronts Jeff and tells him that he either needs to participate in the activities or find another place to spend his time.
Jeff is mortified and immediately takes off. A couple of days later Charlie takes him to the staff’s party house, where the dance crew are relaxing and having fun. Jeff is in flustered awe of everyone’s moves (Charlie is too, make no mistake. Especially when Babe asks him to dance). It takes a while, but eventually Alan notices him. The older man is frustrated initially, thinking someone (probably North) has brought a guest into their zone and is going to get them in trouble.
He tells Jeff that he can’t be there, it’s for employees only. He’s very firm about it, and Jeff is so uncomfortable he can’t find the words to explain. Charlie is quick to realise, rushing over and slinging an arm around Jeff’s shoulders. He explains their situation, and Alan visibly relaxes (and it has nothing to do with the way his heart has been jumping in his chest like a goddamn kid). He apologises to Jeff, who just shrugs. Alan asks him to dance, but the younger man just shoots him a filthy look at leaves. They dance together a few nights later for the first time though and boy oh boy is that an experience for all involved.
Our other friends, all whom are of course included, take on various roles in this mess.
Sonic - a dance instructor who can charm and flirt his way into making everyone feel comfortable and included
North - he does a bit of everything. he’s Babe’s cousin (Babe got him the job), and he helps carry guest’s bags, shows people around, helps out the waitstaff some nights, runs around behind the scenes for activity leaders, etc. He’s been in love with Sonic since the first summer he worked here, but doesn’t think the other man has ever thought of him that way. (He’s wrong, obviously).
Kenta - is Tony’s long-suffering son. He carries out the old man’s wishes and actions, even when they go against his own morals. He is not in high standing with the staff. He stays on the off-chance that Tony will leave the resort to him when he retires (though it seems more likely the bastard would leave it to his asshole cousin or sell it outright).
Kim - a guest at the resort. He’s looking for a relaxing holiday after a very stressful working quarter, but, after seeing something he shouldn’t (maybe an altercation between Kenta and Tony), he somehow finds himself caught up in the drama of the staff.
Dean - a new dance instructor. It’s his first year at the resort, but he thinks he’s hot shit. He tries to push Sonic out of the spotlight to seize his moment, but Alan shuts him down real quick.
Winner - a waiter on staff. and just generally an asshole to everyone around him.
Pete - technically a guest, but is scoping the resort as a property he could buy and rebrand. This technically poses him as an enemy, but Kim is the one who connects the dots that this could be a good thing for everyone - Pete buys the resort, Tony’s out of the picture, Kenta could run things differently and they could fire all the absolute assholes that work there.
Way - as previously stated, is Tony’s nephew and does the dirty work that Tony thinks Kenta is unsuited for. He is also paraded in front of the bigwigs a lot. He and Babe had been friendly for a few summers, so when they meet at a party just before summer and drunkenly hook up, he thinks nothing of it. But when Babe tells him he’s mpregnant he’s sent into panic mode and back peddles out of that relationship so fucking quick. He has ambitions to run the resort.
And that, my friends, is all I’ve got. Please enjoy and run rampant with it. You can also talk to me about it!!
