Tumblr media
Oh, to be young and in love, in the most romantic era of the notorious 1950s, with one very magical man who never fail to make you swoon with every suave look who offers.
It isn't very often that Husker reminisces his past life - He knows, if he does, he will remember all of the good times, when his heart was gold and trembling with pure emotion - After all, if he recalls the time he was alive, and very much in love, his frozen heart will just shatter to dust once again, with the same infinite anguish he felt once everything was ripped away from his grasp.
A pain so intolerable, that runs so deep - A pain that no amount of alcohol can mend.
He never truly knows whether he wants to remain asleep forever, so that he will never have to face reality again, or if that would be a nightmare, tormenting him for the remaining abyss of eternity...
Or, perhaps he should stay awake, so that memories will stop toppling him over, beginning with a most beautiful reverie, yet always ending with the same night terror he must face every time.
If this is his way of paying for his irredeemable sins, then he is well aware he deserves it, and even more - Yet every smell reminds him of that sweet Chanel Nยฐ5 that she used to wear. Every time he closes his eyes, he dreams of the gracious dances he would share with her. Every song he hears, he recalls that angelic voice of hers, and every time he lays abed and stares up at the ceiling, her seraphic visage flashes before him.
"You are drinking again." Angel slumped in one of the stools by the bar, noticing his best friend looking in a far worse state than usual. "Rough day?"
"Rough life." Husk rasped, chugging down a whole bottle of strong spirits.
"Wanna talk about it?" he tried, in vain, to appear sympathetic - The feline demon was far too gone into his own darkness to even think about slurring away his never-ending sorrows.
"I wanna die, that's what I want." he growled, slamming away the bottle into the nearest wall. "Just like this fucking bottle. That's what I fuckin' wanna do - I wanna die, damn it!"
Angel's eyes widened greatly - Yes, life in hell surely was crazy, and especially for demons like the two of them, who sold their souls away because of their own failures, both in life, and now, in hell - But what in the world could it have caused him to get so hopeless that he was unable to fight back the tears glistening in those tortured eyes?
Even someone like him couldn't dare to make light of the situation, or try and crack a joke, let alone taunt or flirt with him. He felt... Pity, for the poor bartender who always listens to others' woes, yet dares naught speak out his own problems.
"Listen... Husk, ergh... I'm not the best at comforting, okay? But... If I can help, you can tell me... And, if not, then... I'll still be here. And maybe try to keep the others away from you. How's that?" Husk didn't quite seem to compute what his friend said, though he robotically nodded his head, as if remote controlled.
Angel remained in that stool for a few hours, watching the winged demon drink bottle after bottle after bottle, yet his sorrows only washed over him tenfold with each shattered glass against a different wall. He wonders what is going through Husk's mind, what he's ruining himself over with each sigh o grip on his fur.
Who would have thought that, of all things possible, Husker's greatest lament was...
"I fucking hate red. Why the fuck are my wings red? Of all the fucking colours in hell, they just had to be red, yeah?" he stammered angrily, pulling at his feathers. "Y'know what? They can't change colour. Tried dyeing 'em, but nothin'. Got so much fuckin' red on me - I wonder if it's Hell's way of punishin' me forever for my fucking sins."
He hates red...? What an odd statement - He truly seems to have a personal vendetta against that colour - But why? It's just a colour, after all, it can do no wrong. "Why... Do you hate red so much...? Angeldust dared to ask.
At first, he was met with a low growl, hostile, yet inoffensive at its core. Then, he heard a most disturbing answer. "That was the colour of my wife's dress when I last went home." Angel's brain shut down completely. To think someone was trusting him with such a vulnerable piece of himself, the very core of their hopelessness, their weakness; In a way, he felt flattered that Husk trusted him so much, yet in another way... He couldn't help but feel borderless pity for his friend. He wishes such a fate to no one... Well, maybe to Valentino.
Angel forced himself to smile softly, placing his hand gingerly over his own, taking away the alcohol from his hand. "What was her name?" Husk looked up with shock, a little startled, right into his dual coloured eyes - He hasn't ever spoken her name out loud, it almost felt like a blasphemy against her purity. Yet... Maybe... "Y/N." he dared whisper.
"Y/N." Angel repeated after him. "A beautiful name for a beautiful lady." Husk nodded his head.
"She was a Princess." he muttered, his sight blurry with tears.
"A Princess? Really? Nobility and all that?" much to his surprise, Husker chuckled.
"Nah, not quite." he rasped. "At heart, she was. Her family was very rich, so she was pampered up. Huge manor, servants, a personal maid, luxury brands, jewellery and perfumes, indulging in any studies and hobbies she liked..."
"How'd you two meet? I don't suppose you were a Prince or something, were you?" Angel tried to joke friendly, encouraging his friend to open up.
"Ha. Far from it." in his hand, a few dices appeared, and he idly played around with them. "I was an ugly dead beat from a working class broken family. Hardly worthy of her attention." he gritted his teeth bitterly. "Got around to finding work at a young age - Gambling, magic, sax player - If I had money to live, anything worked."
"Did you meet at one of your gigs?" Husk nodded his head affirmatively.
"No clue what she saw in me, Angel. She could do so much better." for a split second, he had a dry smirk on his face, before it disappeared again. "I asked her once, what the hell did she see in me - And she said... I played her favourite song. Silly, innit?"
He didn't receive a mocking laugh, much to his surprise - Instead, Angel cooed. He never imagined the jaded demon before him could be so romantic! "What did you play?" Instead of answering, Husk turned around to his bar, and took out another bottle, yet this time, he hummed a familiar tune as he was doing his bartending for two glasses. "Oh, now I get it - You always hum that song when no one's around! I thought you were just bored out of your mind." he let out an amused exhale. "Fly me to the moon... Refined tastes, alright."
"The stars in the sky never sparkles as brightly as those in her eyes when she looked at me." no wonder he never accepted any flirting from anyone - How could anyone match the love he had for Y/N? "If I were a decent man, I'd have told her not to waste her precious time and love on me. Instead, I was a selfish fuck. I stole years of her life... And in the end, I even stole her life. All because I wasn't even half the fucking man I pretended to be."
The conversation soon turned significantly sour. "I was the man - I was supposed to provide for her. Afford all that fucking expensive Chanel Nยฐ5, and the Dior dresses, the Chantelle lingerie, and the damn Cartier and Tiffany's jewellery." even someone more modern like Angel knew all those luxury brands, and was even more impressed and shocked that they could so easily afford such high-end items. "I brought her flowers every day and I took her out on brunches every morning, on dates every afternoon, and to soirees every fucking evening. She loved dancing at parties... But I suppose she preferred the moonlight over the chandeliers."
"You must have overworked yourself a bunch to afford all these things. I'm sure she appreciated it." Angel tried to comfort him, earning a nod of agreement.
"She told me she didn't need any gift, except for my presence. Genuine woman, that one. But how could I, in good conscience, go to her parents and ask for her hand in marriage, when I couldn't even afford a half-decent house with a room for each of her hobbies, a drawer for each month outfit, another for her shoes and three more for her bags, jewels and perfumes; and a large flower garden and a fucking rose gazebo and a swan pond with ten different breeds of pedigree dogs." Angel cringed a little, realising the tremendous gap between their living conditions. "I lost myself on the way to greatness. She was making me so euphoric that I just wanted to see her excited every moment of her life. I didn't need to eat or drink, I just needed to see her smile, and I could work again a few more days without rest."
"But then... You collapsed from overworking?" Husker shook his head.
"Worse. I fooled her parents completely, and we planned our wedding." he replied bitterly.
"How is that a bad thing? Isn't the wedding day the happiest day in a couple's life?" Husk sighed, from the deepest part of his soul.
"It was." he said. "I got greedy. I went to loan sharks, took a shit ton of money to make that wedding the most grand event the country saw in a while. Then went on a month-old honey moon around the world." he cursed in a few different languages that Angel couldn't understand, but was sure were some highly offensive and crude words that he would never utter around Y/N. "I don't need to say more, do I?"
Yeah, he needn't continue speaking the descent into madness, alright. Angeldust didn't want to hear that his friend's love story ended up in his soulmate getting murderer by the loan sharks, only for him to end up killing them, and then himself, out of pure rage and sorrow. He didn't want to hear that an innocent woman like Y/N never knew that her husband was broke and took loans, just to try and mimic the lavish lifestyle she grew up with and deserved. He didn't want to hear the broken shriek of anguish, or the streaming river of tears that befell as Husker saw her dead, on the floor, her pearly pink dress dyed a deep crimson from her own blood, and getting even more stained with each strong embrace he held around her shattered body, just like a precious porcelain doll fallen off the shelf.
They only just recently became something akin to 'best friends' from both sides... Yet Angel couldn't bare to hear the tragic end of the story, and he couldn't even begin to imagine the pain he felt, having to live his afterlife as a Sinner, for as long as he has, without the woman he loves by his side.
"It's better this way, I guess. At least she finally got rid of me. Wherever she is, she must be living far better, than with a lying fuck like me who couldn't keep it together." the spider demon frowned, watching his friend slump on the bar counter.
"I don't think that's the case." he spoke vehemently. "I don't believe there is any person, of any kind, treasuring her as much as you did." Husk's ears perked up immediately, twitching lightly. "At least on an emotional way, I'd say, you and Y/N were lucky. There's so many people who never experience the love you had, let alone get to meet and marry their soulmate."
"What the fuck would you know?!" he growled, throwing a bottle at his head, only for the demon to dodge.
"... I wish I had fallen in love too, you know?" Husk gritted his teeth, realising the sensitive wound that he unwillingly stabbed open - But it wasn't his foult - He is hurt! He is in pain! "As a human, as a demon... I was like you, sort of. I was so shit at managing my life, that I ended up falling prey to my vices... I needed more and more, and I couldn't resist. I had no ration or logic. I gave in to my so-called 'friend group' and got addicted to drugs... Couldn't get rid of that addiction even after death... And I clinged on the only demon who could give me what I wanted... And now, I can't escape Val, even if I wanted to turn my life around and live the life that I never could." Angel had a wry smile on his face. "Do you really think a drug addict or the most famous porn star of hell would be able to meet his soulmate, without destroying their life in the process also?"
The two remained silent, only hanging their head and sighing. No matter how happy life can be for some... It will never have a chance of turning around for them. It just couldn't be. They are in hell, after all. Even Charlie won't be able to save them and bring them on the path of redemption, no matter how insanely enthusiastic and cheerful she can be... They were still sure to drown.
Somehow, this few hours of vulnerability brought Husk and Angel closer, and although they won't be speaking about it again, it was clear to the residents of the Hazbin Hotel that the two were as close as two demons can get, without the inclusion of vice or extortion.
Things were going well enough for them, even with the new addition of Sir Pentious, the villain turned... Something? It was still not too bad around the hotel. Though unsure of whatever Charlie's plan was, to fight against the purge from the Angels, they were still there to sort-of support whatever dream the Princess of the Pride Circle has.
That is, until the Hotel opened its doors to a brand new resident, a gorgeous demoness dressed elegantly in a dress of pearly pink, adorned with high quality jewellery, and with her long hair done stylishly, and smelling like a fresh day of Spring. She walked in guided by the Radio Demon, of all people, and she was smiling so demurely, completely unafraid of the fiend next to her, yet still reserved and soft.
"No way, is that Chanel Nยฐ5?! How'd you get it in here?!" Angel squealed, fangirling over the flowery perfume - But then, it clicked for him. Didn't Husker mention his wife loving this scent the most?
"Oh, you noticed! I am so happy that there are more sensible people - Erh - Demons with refined tastes!" the girl unfolded her laced fan and giggled behind it demurely.
Although she looked even more regal than even the Princess of Hell herself, as they stood next to each other, there was one particular detail that made the new-comer stand out from any other netizen.
With her hands clasped together over her chest, a bright white gold ring, with a most brilliant zircon was shining brighter than even the moon herself.
Whilst the other demons gathered around the seraphic beauty, wanting to have her attention, and even going as far as to have Alastor speak out about this new lady, Husker's breath stopped completely; His brain was going into overdrive, and his heart, he wanted to rip out of his chest.
That ring... That ring, he knew all to well - After all, he bought it himself, when he proposed to Y/N. That voice, the fashion, the mannerism... Even with altered looks, she looked the same. Even in hell, she looked the same. Even with demonic eyes, she looked the same.
She was the most beautiful woman in the universe.
"Y/N, this is Husker, our bartender." Charlie's face was split open by her overly-cheerful grin. "Husk, won't you introduce yourself to Y/N?"
"I'm not a fucking child. I don't need to introduce myself." the man hissed aggressively. "This is fucking stupid, I'm out." without even realising, he shattered the glass in his grasp, before stomping away into his room.
How could that be? Was this a nightmare? Surely, this must be some impersonator demon or something - There's no way an innocent being like Y/N could possibly have ended up in Hell, with a bunch of Sinners, of all thing. Was this his fault also? Did he bring her down with him to hell? Was he never going to be forgiven for all of the shit he's done in his previous life? Did Alastor bring her to the Hotel, so that he could blackmail him even more? Was his empty soul worth so little, in the end?
He was so afraid - Will Y/N be angry once she realises who he is? He couldn't blame her, obviously, he's earned her scorn... Yet why is his heart hurting so bad? He wishes so badly to jump on her and wrap her in his arms and wrings, and never again let her go. Ah, but he looks like a stupid flying cat... He looks ridiculous. There's no way...
...
Perhaps... She should stay with Al...
He has the influence, the money, the fashion sense, the looks, the freedom and privilege, the elegance...
Alastor has everything, and embodies everything that he could never be.
In life, he was selfish, and he didn't let go of her. Perhaps, the only way to apologise and make up for his sins was to let her be cherished by a man capable of doing what he never could.
As he lay awake on the bed, curled up and cursing his whole existence, wanting to sob until his body was all dried up and shriek until his throat was bleeding raw; he wanted to claw his face to velvety ribbons and drown his lungs with all of his blood... As he was succumbing to his self-hatred and spiraling down into the depths of despair, Y/N decided to end the day with some delicious pastries and an aromatic cup of tea in the garden, with her friend, Alastor.
Y/N was idly playing with her ring, looking at the inscription inside of it. 'Y/N โ™ก Husker'. How absolutely adorable, she thought, a beautiful smile gracing her features. "He looks... Different. Are you sure it is the same person, Alastor?" her voice showed nervousness.
"Y/N, Y/N, would I lie to you?" he grinned, as always, sipping from his tea. "You should hear him purr. He truly resembles a little kitten."
Y/N looked up into he friend's eyes, a look of intense surprise and borderline intrigue taking over. "Are you being truthful? He... Purrs?" she gasped, quickly slipping her ring back on her finger.
"Yes, my darling. Unconsciously, someone strokes his fur, he gets so very adorable~." Alastor hums, watching the lady before him being so romantically melancholic over a life long gone. "What did you think about today's meeting?"
Y/N sighed, looking up into the sky. "I feel guilty for enjoying the moment I ripped Velvette apart, yet I feel no remorse for killing her. Such an uncouth and vulgar person has no right to behave with such disrespect towards me." Alastor's grin widened significantly. "And... I cannot wait for the next purge. I want to burn Heaven to cinders. Those hypocrites have grown far too arrogant for their own good, and I believe they need to be taught a harsh lesson."
"I see we are on the same wavelength as always, my dear." the demon sipped from his tea. "I am quite glad those arrogant hypocrites turned you away, for such a silly thing like - Vanity - They say. Beautiful women should be allowed to feel that-a-way, not ostracised for being such jewels for one's eyes." ever the charmer with poison dripping from his tongue. "Before I turn in for the evening, I have a gift for you - For friendship's sake." Y/N rose a suspicious eyebrow, watching as he took out a carefully folded picture from his blazer's pocket, and handing it to her. "I am going for a new fitting with Rosie tomorrow, should you wish to join us for a lovely day of self-care." the girl smiled, nodding her head at him in appreciation. "Have a pleasant evening."
Y/N muttered her pleasantries, and waited for Alastor to leave her sight, before unfolding the picture and bursting to tears. She cradled the precious memory to her heart, and sobbed for as long as her heart needed.
What have they done so wrong to deserve this? They were so happy while alive, so what went wrong? Was her opulent life, the reason for their downfall? Did her beloved think she wouldn't love him, if he couldn't match her family's wealth? Were all soulmates made to be torn apart while at their most blissful?
Still, she was grateful that she wasn't accepted into Heaven, for she would have had a most awful afterlife, as opposed to the many Overlord friends she made since she's been sent to Hell after her gruesome death, and the many favours she received from the Lords and Royals who went to Earth to retrieve items of importance for her.
Drying her tears, Y/N walked back inside the hotel, ready to turn in for the night, only to stop in her tracks as soon as she heard a soft sob, followed by a few very familiar curses in a variety of languages that she knew all too well. Her heart clenched as she stepped cautiously towards the foreign room, eavesdropping for any other sound, only to be met with more muffled cries.
Biting her lip, the demoness knocked on the door, only to be cursed harshly and told to fuck off. Y/N gulped, feeling taken aback by being talked in such a way - Though she immediately composed herself, reminding herself that he, too, is hurting, most likely far more than she is.
She excused herself before opening the door and entering. "What fucking part of 'FUCK OFF' don't you FUCKING UNDERSTA---" Husk was livid, getting in a sitting position as he growled with incredible hostility at the one who dared barge in his bedroom so rudely, only to remain speechless as he realised it was the demoness herself, standing with a sympathetic smile on her face. She also seemed to have been crying prior to this. "Oh. It is you." he cleared his throat, getting back on the bed, unable to face her.
"I have missed you dearly." her voice was so soft, so beautiful, so endearing... "I... Cannot believe that I am seeing you again. It seems to me that, no matter how far apart, our souls will forever traverse oceans of time and space, just to embrace each other once more."
She could hear him sniffling, his nails digging deep into the blanket. "You have always been so romantic and poetic." he grumbled, hiding his face in the pillow. "You shouldn't be here."
"You will have to be more specific, my love." she hummed, moving to sit on the edge of his bed. "Here - In Hell? Or here - In your room? Either way, I would say, I am right where I need to be."
"I don't understand." as if burning with frustration, Husk shot up, looking with self-hatred at the girl. "You did nothing wrong your entire life. You were nothing but a living sunshine. A fucking flower in human form. What the fuck did those angels not agree with, that they cast you to this shit hole?"
"There was a time when you would beat up any man who would curse in my presence." Y/N's adorable giggle made the demon's face flush red. "I am sorry that you are suffering so much, at my expense. I could never repay you for everything you have done for me, while we were alive."
"What the hell are you apologising for anyway? I got you killed, not the other way around - And even if it were that way, it'd've been a blessing in disguise, getting rid of a dead beat worthless fuck like me." he huffed, looking away. "You always were too good for me." the demon had so much to say, so many regrets to yell, so much love to spill... Alas, he remained quiet. "You seemed happy with Al. I wish I could be that, while we were alive." his voice went to soft, it was barely audible. "You should... Stay with him."
"Yes, I am happy being friends with Alastor. He was the one who introduced me to Rosie and Carmilla and Zestial, and I cherish them all dearly, as my like-minded friends." Y/N spoke calmly, reaching her hand to cup her lover's soft cheek. "He also was the one to tell me of your misdemeanours. How you succumbed to your vices; to gambling and alcohol, to the the point that you lost your soul in a deal with him. How pitiful." he was so confused as to where she was trying to get with her words, yet in spite of the anticipation for blames and reproaches, he couldn't help but lean into her warm and gentle touch. "He is the one who helped me become an Overlord, and I took your place. And it is Alastor, and some other friends of mine, who helped retrieve some objects I thought long lost."
"... You still smell like Chanel Nยฐ5." his comment made the girl giggle again.
"One of my friends had his little imps go to the human world and rob an entire Chanel store, to bring me all Chanel Nยฐ5 perfume bottles." how incredulous, Husk thought, staring at the girl flabbergast, speaking of a clear crime, committed in her name. And then, he started laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of her statement.
"Angel would kill to have a whole room of Chanel Nยฐ5." he said, his eyes softening as he put his hand over hers. "Y/N... Knowing that you are doing fine... That you aren't suffering... Or anything that I put you through... It makes me... Content."
"My darling." Y/N called out. "Do you remember the day of our wedding?"
"Of course I do. What's that question?"
With a cheeky grin, she took out the picture from her purse, handing it to her beloved. "Alastor was able to find this. His connections truly are amazing." Husk's eyes were wet with falling tears, and his lips were trembling. "I forgot I had pink roses braided in my hair. I was so busy looking at my handsome husband, that everything around me vanished." Husk's sobbing got even louder. "I wanted to frame this picture first, but I couldn't resist showing it to you first."
"Get out, Y/N! Get out!" his voice was broken and raw, so pained that even her heart shattered. "I am not the man you fell in love with. Why do you think my name is 'Husk'? I am just that - A husk of the man I never was. I am not worth anything. I don't amount to anything. I just gamble money I don't have and drink booze until I pass out. I don't deserve a second chance, and I certainly don't deserve you. I never did. I got you killed, damn it!"
"You think too much, you fool." Y/N cupped his face, bringing him into a gentle kiss - A kiss so loving that it numbed his pain, and hightened his senses, that got his heart pumping again and his lungs screaming for air. "I fell in love with you for good reason, and I intend to remain by your side, loving you." she smiled, wiping his tears with her thumb. "You can try as much as you wish to drive me away, but it will not work. You may succeed in convincing yourself that you are a lesser man, but you cannot do that with me. I know the man before me, and I know I will never leave you."
"Y/N..." the man sniffled, burying his face in her bosom, holding so tightly onto her petite body that he almost feared breaking her.
"There was once a time when you would only call me 'Sweety'." her honeyed giggle sounded so teasing, yet it didn't embarrass him. It served only to make him chuckle.
"There was also a time when I would only call you 'Chanel', if you recall." it almost felt as though they were both alive, and during their honey moon, without a single care in the world, and living a most carefree life.
"That does bring back some very amusing memories." Husk hummed in agreement, feeling melancholic, despite the intense joy surging through his body. Perhaps it was due to the unfamiliarity of this positive feeling, that he felt exhausted, or maybe from his excessive crying and whining. Regardless, he wanted nothing more than to cuddle up in his wife's arms, and never leave this blasted room ever again.
"Can you promise me something?" the man asked. "I am selfish still - Even more so as a demon. I am nothing but filth. I didn't deserve you then, and I deserve you even less now. Still... Now that you're here... I can't let you go again. So..."
Though he found himself eating his words, Y/N only smiled, laying down on the bed and taking him down with her, nestling him comfortably into her loving embrace. "Alastor said you purr like a kitten. I would love to hear that, tonight." she hummed, hearing his annoyed snarl. "And every night going forward, for as long as we may live in this afterlife we have." Husk's body became stiff, frozen with shock. "That is what you wanted me to promise, isn't it? That I will never leave you." he didn't respond. "It is within our wedding vows, silly. There is no way I would walk away, after I have just found my soulmate."
"... Even though I look like... This? And I am irredeemably addicted to gambling and drinking, even more so than before... And I have lost my soul to the Radio Demon? I am stuck doing his bidding for eternity... And..." Y/N only hugged him closer.
"No matter what, in sickness and in death, you and I will still be soulbound." his small body was softly trembling with emotion. "I've got you, my darling. Worry not about anything. I have got you." she remained silent for a little while. "But, Husk..." her voice sounded so distant, so... Melancholic. "Do you... Still like me? The way you did before?"
Startled by her words, Husker jolted up, looking at the pitiful visage of his lover. "What... What do you mean...?"
"My skin is pure white, with no colour, except for my make up. My eyes are black where they should be white, and the worst carmine red, where they should be embodying the aspect of nature. Even my hair looks to be an abnormal colour, and no matter how much I try to dye it, it will not retain its original shade." she gulped, looking away from him. "Any shred of normalcy that I have... Is so tiresome, so much work to keep up, the princessy facade that I used to have, that I used to love... That you used to love..." she sighed softly. "Yet even that completely dissolves as soon as I transform in the monstrous form that I fight so hard to keep veiled from the world."
"Y/N." he caressed her soft face, only to notice small particles of powder latching onto his fur. "I'm a fucking furry mammal with wings. I look like a children's plush toy or somethin'. Meanwhile, you look as doll-like as always, and you're afraid I wouldn't like you anymore? How silly." he sighed, leaning to place a kiss on her forehead. For a few seconds, he stopped to ponder over a rather bold move, and in a split second, he retrieved a wooden box from under his bed. "This is my secret. Nobody has to know about this." he spoke, a rosy tint on his cheeks. "Open it."
Carefully, the girl did as instructed, revealing the content of the box. A bunch of letters were preserved there, all of them neatly placed and handwritten with black ink. "Husk..." Y/N felt the air in her lungs dissipating, as she realised all those letters were recreating the exchange of love words from their time alive. "H-How...?"
"I have all our letters memorised." he chuckled lightly. "I... Needed some way of keeping you close... Of remembering you. I am shit at drawing, but I have a good enough memory... So this was the only way of preserving what we had."
"It's been so long... And yet, you... You still remember... All of it? There must be tens, if not, hundreds of them... How...?" the girl was flabbergast, yet melting completely.
"I read them every night before sleep, when alive, and I read them every night now also." those precious teardrop diamonds caressing her cheeks falling down so gracefully.

A love so pure and true, bottomless and without boundaries; Husker himself forgot just how endless his emotions could run. He thought himself jaded and cold, having lost his own heart, the second he lost her... Yet now... Perhaps it wasn't as bad as he first thought. Perhaps... Even someone like himself deserves some kind of redemption.

Without her, he wasn't whole. Without her, he is not himself. Without her, he is empty. Without her, his whole life falls apart. Without her, he is nothing but a worthless deadbeat.

But now, he is not alone anymore - Well, perhaps he never was to begin with, considering he still had Angel and Charlie, to some extent, yet nothing can compare to sweet Y/N's existence by his side. Nothing can heal his aching soul, or revert the damage he did to himself throughout life and afterlife, the way her love for him did.

the sinners visit a 24-hour convenience store
rodya was trying to unionize everyone in the pursuit of snacks and got pretty close (outis will NEVER acquiesce to such tomfoolery)
charon just pulls over anyway
she wants a slushie
verg isn't going to say no to charon
they're getting slushies.
fifteen people enter this convenience store all at once with the kind of dazed look you can only get upon seeing rows and rows of bright fluorescent lights and Products after being in a moving vehicle for 48 hours straight
faust just starts talking to the cashier, who is wholly unprepared to deal with [Insufferable, Chronic Lassitude]. she's just telling them information.
don quixote has never heard of an inside voice and she's not going to start now
BEHOLD, MINE COMRADES! I SHALL TAKE UPON THE CHALLENGE OF SAMPLING EACH FLAVOR OF SLUSH, AND REPORT MY FINDINGS!
she immediately gets brain freeze and is loud about that too
yi sang and hong lu are examining packaged snacks together
hong lu is reading off the ingredient labels and saying things like "oh, grandmother never allowed me to eat things that had artificial dyes in them!"
yi sang is just kinda there, concerned about hong lu's statements but too overwhelmed by the lights and colors to say anything of substance
ryoushuu is openly shoplifting
rodya gets her pile of snacks and then decides to bother gregor because she's bored again now
gregor is trying to buy cigarettes
greg babe look they got that delta 8 stuff! you wanna give it a try?
gregor is fully pretending he does not know her
he mouths "i'm sorry" to the cashier
outis is watching dante like a hawk
executive manager we must remain vigilant against threats to your person at all times, especially when the chance of an ambush against us seems low
dante has never been in a convenience store that they can remember...? but they're pretty sure outis is taking this a little too seriously
heathcliff is sizing up the hot food display
dunno what kind of madman would be too keen on eating these sad oily chips but scran's scran
he offers some to hong lu who has since wandered over
hong lu has never had chips/fries before and has no idea that you eat them with your hands
mistake.
it's a mess.
sinclair is waiting anxiously for his turn with the slushie machine as meursault methodically fills a huge cup with every single flavor they have
ishmael quickly got her preferred snacks and now is waiting passive-aggressively for everyone else to be done
the poor cashier has to come face to face with a fucking color fixer while this rodeo is occurring, because it's technically a company expense
vergilius saunters up to the counter to pay for all this crap, looking miserable and homicidal
charon got a cherry slush. red. same as verg. happy.
so it's not all bad.
it isn't until they've gotten back onto the bus and started driving that dante says <wait>
<where's yi sang?>
they find yi sang sitting in the parking lot, placidly eating a slushie of his own
the artificial watermelon flavor, cold and crisp underneath the moonlight... it has a certain charm.
ok grandpa let's get you to bed.
ryoushuu's haul includes three lighters, beef jerky, extra-strength headache medicine, root beer candy, and a large spider that was in the parking lot, which she is planning to release into faust's vicinity next time faust pisses her off
hong lu promptly gets sick from eating the disgusting fries.

Loved and Landed (Steph Catley x Reader)
Tumblr media
A/n Requested
-------
Steph lives a busy life.
There's her football life. Obviously.
There's her schooling life.
There's the life she lives with her friends and family.
And then there's the life with-
"Steeeeeph, come on, I wanna get there early, I'm not dealing with Katie leaving something for me to find, again."
There's incessant tugging at the sleeve of her red Arsenal hoodie.
Of course, her football life keeps her the most busy.
Especially when she has to drive it to and from home all of the time now that Kyra's living in the house as well.
It had been a hectic process, but the young midfielder had settled in quickly, taking in the familiarity of the Aussie herself and her club teammates' closeness around them.
Quickly becoming a child amongst the older girls on the team, much like a sibling to them, within but a few months.
That being said.
Kyra was a little shit.
And she knew it too.
A demanding one at that.
Hence why Katie had taken to knocking the young brunette down a few pegs.
Her cockiness was starting to show under the protection of the older girls, so the Irish captain had been messing with her enough to take the invincible mindset away from her.
Leaving her ultimately latched onto Steph now.
A lot.
"Seriously, Steph, please, I can't deal with her leaving shaving foam in my boots again."
The older woman raises an eyebrow at the pleading look on Kyra's face.
"You did this to yourself, Ky. Katie's only retaliating because you decided you were king shit enough to put hair dye in her shampoo."
The younger girl whines.
"Don't you think she's retaliated enough? I've had my shoes violated, my shin guards replaced with slightly smaller ones. I mean, the other day, my water bottle was filled with pickle juice. Pickle Juice! For gods sake."
Steph sighs, rolling her eyes slightly, grabbing the last of her stuff to shove into her pack, she gestures to the front door, to which the midfielder eagerly hurries out of and towards the car, waiting impatiently for the defender to unlock it.
"You've seriously gotta apologise to Katie or something. The girl has ten siblings, I can't imagine she hasn't spent her whole life dealing with bratty behaviour from little shits like you."
Kyra scoffs as she hurriedly buckles herself in.
"Rude."
"The truth."
Steph smirks at the small pout that forms on the other girls lips.
"Hurry up and drive."
"So bossy."
-------
As expected, they arrive with hardly any other people around, decidedly much earlier than any of the other girls. Katie wasn't the earliest of player's anyway, so Kyra really shouldn't be worried about her beating them there.
Still, the youngin looks exceptionally nervous as she peaks into the changing room and gingerly makes her way over to her cubby, scanning it with a ridiculous level of detail.
Steph can only shake her head, watching the young girl sheepishly wander around the room, checking for what may well be hidden traps.
Maybe she should talk with Katie about getting her to take it down a notch.
The Irish woman was nothing if not relentless when it came to getting back at someone.
The last thing the team needed was a midfielder with serious trust issues stemming from their infamous yellow card magnet of a winger.
"Ky, relax. She's not even here yet."
"Yeah, but you never know."
"Seriously, it's game day, relax, she won't-"
"Oh, hello, you two. Stephy. Kyra."
The ever so loud and joyful Katie enters the changing room with a bang of the door as it slams open and hits the wall.
Her smirk quirks up a little wider at the sight of the midfielder, who's looking rather sheepishly around her rather than at the Irish woman herself.
"You two extra early today, eh?"
"Ha, something like that."
Steph gives her a look as she nods in Kyra's direction.
"Give the poor girl a break, would ya? I think she's been thoroughly humbled."
Katie snorts in amusement, eyeing her up.
"Eh, sheโ€™s fine. I wasn't gonna do anything."
Steph raises a brow at that.
"....Yet."
There it is.
"Of course. Don't mess around too much, though. We still have a game to play, McCabe."
She lets out an unconvincing hum in response, right as some of the other girls start to filter in, Caitlin one of the ones to settle into her cubby beside the defender.
"What's up with the kid?"
Steph snorts.
"Ask your girlfriend. She's been torturing the poor girl."
Caitlin rolls her eyes, turning to Katie, who's now got a cheeky glint in her as she eyes up the younger of the three.
"Katie."
"What? I didn't do any-"
She stops at the look she gets from the Australian, grumbling as she relents and turns back to her cubby.
-------
Kyra's finally able to escape the locker room out of sight of the defender the moment the Irish woman is distracted.
Heading down the hall towards the physio room, she ends up coming face to face with and bumping face first into someone.
She groans when she rubs at her face and her backside from where she landed on it as she stands up again with the help of her assailant.
The person is stood in a royal navy uniform, a patch on her shoulder with three horizontal gold stripes and a small circled loop on the top, hair slicked back and tight into a bun behind her head.
'L/n-Catley' the name badge reads.
Confusion crosses her face which you quickly notice.
"You're Steph's teammate right?"
"Uh yeeaah? Who are you?"
"It's a long story and sorry about the bump there. I uh, I don't know if y'all know yet but I might need your help. The staff were nice enough to let me in but I need an escort here."
"Where are you going?"
"I got told to wait for one of the trainers in the staff room?"
"Can I ask what you're doing?"
"Waiting to see Steph, but don't tell her, it's supposed to be a surprise."
Kyra is extremely sceptical, but she leads you down the hall to where the trainers are situated and one of them recognises you immediately, hugging you and dragging you into the room.
She's even more confused when the staff member is nearly in tears.
Wait.
Navy uniform.
Here to see Steph.
L/n-Catley on the name badge.
There's no way.
"Are you... Are you married to Steph?"
You chuckle softly, rubbing the back of your neck.
"Yes I am. If you can't tell it's been a little while since we've seen each other."
"Yeah, I can tell, her house is far too empty for the size of it."
"Ah, so you're the new roommate. Kyra, right?"
"She's been talking about me?"
You nod.
"We would call every two weeks. When she found out you were moving to Arsenal, I couldn't tell if she was happy or mad because you'd already trashed her white towels."
"Hey! That was not my fault, the wine just fell... on it's own."
There's a sheepish look on her face.
You chuckle softly.
"She'll be fine, the pattern was ugly anyway, we needed new towels... Don't tell her I said that."
Kyra smiles at that.
"It's great to meet you, then... How are we planning this out?"
"I'll have my sister here sneak me somewhere I can wait and surprise her at the end of the game."
She nods.
"Alright, I better get going then before the girls come looking for me for pitch inspection."
You nod back and give her a warm smile.
"Oh, I'm Y/n, by the way, Lieutenant Commander Y/n L/n-Catley."
-------
The roar of the almost entirely red and white crowd as the girls enter the pitch is as usual, deafeningly loud.
Home games are always the most adrenaline instilling games, ones where their fans are always the loudest, chanting and screaming every time one of their own touches the ball.
Steph can still hardly believe it.
The growth in the game. Breaking records every single home match so far.
The FA Cup semi-final was no different it seems.
Her eyes subtly scan the crowd as she jogs out behind the others, shifting from clapping fan to clapping fan. There's an air about the crowd.
A massively high inducing air, one that she can feel in every nerve ending in her body as she practically bounces around the pitch in warmups.
She brushes it off as it being a semi final type of high.
Aston Villa would be a difficult opponent and she assumed that was the reasoning.
-------
It seems she's proven wrong in the first ten minutes.
It doesn't take long for Stina to score, the home crowd immediately losing their minds, and they barely have time to recover just two minutes later when the Swede swoops in for the double.
By the fourty-fifth minute, they know they have the game. Four to nil over the Villans thanks to a Stina hattrick and a goal from Frida. Her heartbeat is thumping in her ears as they approach the final minute.
This is the part they're in the dark. How many minutes left of stoppage? How much longer does she have to defend?
The players are taught not to worry about that. To just play until the whistle blows. And she does.
But she can't help the nagging awaiting of the whistle, wondering when it will go.
The moment it does, there's celebration, relief, and a lot of cheering and screams and congratulation from the air around.
A pair of arms and legs wrap around her from behind as Kyra jumps on her back, the young Australian whooping into her ear.
"Onto the finals, Stephy!"
The defender chuckles and celebrates with the team, the announcer shouting out the home teams win to wind up the crowd once more.
As they do the celebration walk around the pitch, the announcer announces player of the match, and then one more announcement catches her ear.
Her head snaps toward the tunnel the moment she hears it, heart stopping at the words of the female announcer.
"And finally, one last round of applause. Let us congratulate and welcome back someone very special to one of our own. Lieutenant Commander Y/N L/n-Catley returning from fifteen months of duty at sea with the Royal Navy."
And truly, there you are, her wife.
Dressed to the nines in your Black, long sleeved uniform, hands clasped behind you, standing with a wide, almost teary smile as you watch Steph bolt across the pitch towards you, catching her with little effort as she jumps into your arms, knocking the cap off your head with the force.
The rest of the Arsenal girls stand shocked, looking between themselves and their left back at the sudden appearance of a totally new member of the Catley family.
Before they can even try to work out who you might be to Steph, the defender has her lips pressed to yours tightly, tears streaming down your face.
The sensation of finally being able to kiss you, her wife. HER wife, has her trembling against you, her stomach twisting and curling as you hold her tight against you, your own hands shaking as they rest on her back.
It had been the longest stint you'd gone without seeing each other, having been on a cramped ship for the majority of that time.
Even having been used to long times apart, the immense relief of being able to hold your person, your love, YOUR wife, after so long. was like nothing else you'd ever experienced.
And you were glad you had all the time in the world to experience it now.
When Steph's finally able to pull back and look you in the eye, hands holding your face, eyes scanning your features, noting a small scar under your right brow, and then returning to make eye contact again with you, albeit very tearily, much like yourself.
Lifting your own hands, your thumbs swipe away the tears on her cheeks, leaning down once more to kiss her, forehead leaning against hers.
You take in the immensity of the screams of the crowd all of a sudden, especially the crowd around the players' tunnel.
With that, she buries herself back into your hold, her nose buried into the crook of your neck.
Your eyes scan the pitch, watching the applauding or shocked expressions of the players.
You'd already known her teammates didn't know she was married, however their shocked expressions still have you chuckling.
All except Kyra's wide smile as she watches the two of you and you give the girl a wink.
"I can't believe it. You're here."
It's half whimpered into your shoulder, and you just barely hear it over the crowd.
"I'm here. I'm home."
"They finally let you on leave?"
She's using a half joking tone beneath the watery chokes and sobs.
"Better than that, Love."
She pulls away shocked.
"You mean.."
You smile down at her teary eyed.
"I'm home for good, not retired but they're giving me an office in London. Full time hours still but I won't be needed for duty anymore."
She frowns softly after a second.
She knew you'd always hated the idea of an office job.
Catching the look on her face, you knew what she'd be thinking about.
"I don't care where it is, or what I'm doing. I'm just glad I'm home, with you. I've had my fill of travelling and front line work for a lifetime."
Leaning your forehead back against hers, you let the moment sink in.
You'd known it was coming for months now, haven spoken to your superiors, and them letting you know there was a position available remotely, you'd taken it in a heartbeat.
If it meant coming home to your girl, you'd have done anything.
A small throat clearing a couple feet from you, the team had moved to stand around the pair of you, eager to ask questions of the brunette in your arms.
You nudge her softly with a small giggle in her ear.
"Babe, I think they have questions."
"They can wait a little longer."
You don't fight her on it just letting her settle into you again, holding you tightly.
The moment she does let go, she's grabbed by the shoulders and interrogated by the team rather swiftly.
Leah stands arms crossed.
"Now Stephy, when did this occur?"
Steph sheepishly smiles around her at her.
"Alright alright, Gunners, meet my beautiful wife, Y/n. She's been in the navy since she turned eighteen, we met five years ago when she was on leave in Australia. We started dating less than a month later and she left on duty about four months later. We got married after three years, bought a house right before she left a year and a bit ago. We haven't seen each other in person since then. Until now, that is."
And just like that, you're immediately dragged into the group rather swiftly, squished into several hugs.
A firm handshake and then a tight hug from their captain, especially. The Scot making firm well you know how quickly she'd bury you should you hurt their defender, despite the fact you'd known Steph longer and you chuckle, nodding in agreement at the stern look turned cracked smile she lets go.
When you're finally free, Steph takes no time tucking herself under your arm and wrapping hers around you, looking up at you slightly with a proud, elated smile, eyes still slightly teary.
Returning the expression, you press a small kiss to her nose.
"Welcome home, Baby."
You shake your head.
"Congrats on the win, Baby, this is your moment right now. Go celebrate for a bit, we've got all the time in the world now."
She pouts but relents with a small peck and nudge.
"KYRA, YOU KNEW?!"
The shouts of the Irish captain make her jump but chuckle a little as a gloating midfielder teases the rest of the girls.
Yeah. She was in for it.

fiber art adventures in egypt
I recently got back from a trip to Egypt & finally got around to organizing some pictures to share. One of the things I was most excited about was seeing what I could find on fiber arts and textiles.
Dropping everything under a read more, 'cause this will be a long post haha
first visit: the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC)
At the time of visiting, they had a special textiles exhibit. It covered Pharonic Egypt all the way up to modern times, although I only had time to check out the dynastic & a bit of the Coptic portion of the exhibit (which was what I was really hoping to see anyways)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was super excited to see this diorama in person. I knew about it but had never seen good pictures of it. From the little I've seen of ancient Egyptian spinning, spinning with two spindles seems to be the norm rather than a master technique? It also shows up in tomb art, which the exhibit also shared:
Tumblr media
They also used a different fiber preparation (splicing to create a rove of fiber, no traditional drafting to my understanding) so that probably made a difference? Regardless I really want to see if I can replicate the technique, especially because their spindles look so similar to modern spindles??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I took so many pictures of spindles, guys, and I fully intend to either have a few replicas made or to learn to make some myself. Also, although they were unlabeled... I'm pretty sure those are beaters for weaving? That was a bit of a trend with this trip, so much stuff was unlabeled :( I would've killed to at least get some date estimates for some of the stuff they had on display. I was nerding out in here though, and my family took a few pictures of how excited I was getting. A bit embarrassing, but eh haha
The exhibit also had a section on natural dyes used with a fun visual;
Tumblr media
There was several diagrams specifically describing each dye source, but in the interest of not overloading on pictures I'll just list them out. For blues; woad, Yellows; turmeric, safflower, saffron, or yellow ochre; reds; madder, henna, pomegranate, and kermes. I originally thought kermes was another way to say cochineal, but it only seems to be distantly related.
next visit: Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Center
A small art center dedicated to hand-weaving wool and cotton tapestries. All of their work was museum quality & awe inspiring!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was even invited to their back rooms to watch a few of their weavers working; no I don't have room to put a room-sized loom anywhere but heck do I want one now
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our guide that took us through talked a bit about the natural dyes they use (all of their dyes are dyed in house with what they grow in their dye garden!!!) and got excited to hear I was also interested in natural dyes! He seemed a bit disappointed I'd never worked with indigo and. while indigo scares me, I'll take it as a sign that maybe I should try some time this year haha.
final visit; the Egyptian Museum
we really had to rush through this one which was a huge shame because it's packed full of artifacts. Also, the lighting in there is atrocious, so apologies for the not great pictures ahead.
They had a fascinating display of textile tools, more than what the NMEC had;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Hand for size reference) I want all of these spindles! So badly! But a few of them look so much like a few of the spindles I own already?? A few of them had a spiraling notch, that's so cool? But also, what's going on with the one with two whorls? I have no idea. I'm fascinated.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at these whorls!! Although again, I'm a bit confused; the lack of labeling strikes again. Unsure why some of these "whorls" have two holes, or what the metal object with the wooden handle is. The display implies sewing needles, and some of them do look like it, but others.... really don't look like sewing needles. I'm absolutely enchanted by this little whorl though. I think it has birds on it?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
More objects that I'm baffled by- the signage doesn't really indicate what some of this stuff is, if it's even known. Also confused by the object wrapped in white string in the right pic; it looks like a distaff but to the best of my knowledge the (ancient at least) Egyptians didn't use distaffs. It probably popped up in later times and was put in this display since it was still relevant, but I'm still not sure.
I have so many more pictures & thoughts but I'll save those for more specific future projects. I've been doing research outside this trip on ancient Egyptian spinning techniques and desperately want to go deeper into that, this trip just solidified how excited it makes me. If you made it all the way through this, many thanks for reading!
Bonus; look at this ancient linen ๐Ÿฅบ

Adult Education Part 6 | Hangman x OC
Summary:ย Jessica can't catch a break at work, and things are just made worse when she's required to plan an event for alumni weekend. Looking forward to seeing Jake on Saturday was only trumped by a surprise visit from him.
Warnings: Fluff, angst, swearing, eventually 18+
Length: 4100 words
Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Female OC
This story is part of the Beer Boy and Sugar universe but can be read on its own! Adult Education masterlist
Seriously, who let Jake on my masterlist!? Banner by @mak-32
Tumblr media
The next morning, Jake was ready to go and standing outside with his travel cup of coffee at 7:25 just to be sure he didn't piss off his ride. At this rate, he was going to owe Bradshaw and his wife something really nice for all of their help with his truck. And with Jessica.
When they both pulled up in the Bronco at exactly 7:30, Jake climbed in the backseat with a smirk. "Sorry I interruptedย your evening last night."
She smiled at him and shrugged saying, "It's fine. I hope your truck is repairable." But Bradley just glared at Jake in the rearview mirror as he pulled away from the curb.
"Gonna buy a new one, I think," he replied. "Just to be on the safe side."
As the Bronco coasted to a stop at a red light, she turned to face him. "How was your date with Jessica?"
Jake groaned and said, "That's why I'm getting a new truck. I had to run five miles, and I was late meeting her. Almost fucked it all up. I love that shitty, old truck, but I'll need something more reliable if she actually agrees to date me."
Bradley snorted. "Yes. Get something more reliable so you don't inconvenienceย Jessica." He gestured to his wife in the passenger seat as the light turned green. "She was asleep when I got home last night. Just in case you were curious."
"I wasn't. But thanks," Jake replied coolly, watching as she laughed and leaned in to kiss her husband's cheek. "And thanks for the ride. I owe you. Again." Jake tried to think about what he could even get for Bradley. What did he even like? Wasn't that Grateful Dead cover band coming to town?
"Wait. You ran five miles after your truck broke down?" Bradshaws'sย wife asked him. "That's actually kind of romantic. I would have been a mess after that."
"It's not as romantic as all the doors," Bradley grumbled. But now they were driving through the college campus, and Jake's eyes caught on the building where Jessica worked as they pulled up in front of it. Jake also had a front row seat to watch the way Bradley leaned across the seat and kissed his wife as if he wasn't going to see her for a week.ย 
"Bye, Sugar. I love you so much," he whispered, handing her a lunchbox with a tie dye pattern. She bid him farewell with a similar sentiment and then waved to Jake. And then Bradley sat there and watched to make sure his wife got safely into the building before putting it back in gear.ย 
"Do you drive your wife to work all the time?" Jake asked awkwardly now from the backseat.ย 
"Of course. As much as I can."
Jake was quiet for a beat, and then he asked, "I know you and she met a long time ago. Were you ever in love with anyone else?"
"No," came his immediate reply. "Always been a little bit obsessed with that one in particular."
Jake could tell. And that level of devotion was starting to sound more and more appealing to him.
------------------------------
Jessica was so tired of the way she always ended up in tears at the end of every department meeting. This time she was sitting next to Leland, and it just wasn't fair that she was always being singled out. They were going to force her to volunteer to be a faculty advisor for an on-campus event for alumni weekend. She could already tell. It was going to be a tedious waste of her time, and Brian Conley would make some vague promises about getting her on a tenure track. But she just knew he'd never let that happen.
"Let's chat when we're done here, Dr. Reed," Conley announced in front of everyone like Jessica was a small child who needed to be reprimanded. And when everyone else was dismissed, she didn't move from her seat towards the back of the room. If he wanted to talk to her, he could do it from there. Because now she was just getting mad.ย 
Almost all of the warm fuzzy feelings leftover from her Chippy's date with Jake were gone and replaced by self loathing. She had fucked up her career. She had fucked up her relationship with probably everyone in the science department. And she would most likely fuck things up with Jake, too.ย 
"Jessica," Conley said softly, shaking his head.ย 
"Please, call me Dr. Reed or Professor Reed," she managed to say without letting on that she was about to cry.ย 
He sighed like she was the biggest inconvenience in his life and raked his fingers through his sexy salt and pepper hair. "Dr. Reed," he said with a sarcastic looking smile. "If you want to even stand a chance at tenure, then you need to comply with my ideas."
"It's so convenient that you are the one in charge of tenure for the department, isn't it? You know how hard I work. You know how much I care about my students. This shouldn't even be an issue."
Then he strode across the room and walked down the row of seats she was sitting in and loomed over her as he said, "Youย are the one who made it an issue. Not me."
Jessica was torn between the urge to tell him to fuck off and the desire to burst into tears. But she sat there quietly with her eyes trained on his as he added, "Now pick one of the events to manage for alumni weekend, or I can guarantee you'll be an adjunct professor as long as you remain at this school."
It didn't matter which one she chose, he would make it miserable for her. So she grabbed her bag and stood as tall as she could in her high heels. "Just shoot me an email and let me know the details. It doesn't matter which event I have to manage; I'll do a fucking amazing job with it while you try to bring me down."
She didn't wait for a response. She was out of the room and down the hallway to the elevators before he could say anything. The whole day was going to suck now. She could just tell. If only it were Saturday, she could be at Jake's place where at least her past wasn't hanging over her head constantly.ย 
After three lectures in a row, she checked her emails upon returning to her office. The first one made her smile, because Advanced Calculus invited Jessica to stop by her office for lunch. The second was from Conley, letting her know that she was in charge of helping to plan and execute a beer pong tournament at one of the fraternity houses.ย 
"Fuck my life," she moaned, reaching into her desk to get her peanut butter and jelly sandwich and room temperature bottle of water. Now she really didn't feel like having lunch with another actual person, but she didn't want to lose her only friend here. So she slowly made her way down to the other end of the building and the math department.ย 
When she knocked on the door, she was greeted with a cheery, "Come in!" And Jessica once again marvelled at the spacious office with windows and the beautiful lunch spread out on the desk in front of the other woman. Today it was a delicious looking veggie wrap, an array of mixed nuts, and assorted artisan cheeses.
"Your husband always makes my lunch look even sadder," Jessica said, tossing her sandwich in its ziplock bag onto the desk and sinking into the open chair.ย 
She responded with a laugh, saying, "Help yourself. He always packs too much in case I need an afternoon snack. How's your day going?"
"Horrible," Jessica whispered, reaching for some of the nuts. "I'm getting roped into helping with an event for alumni weekend. All because I don't have tenure. And even though I've been assured this type of thing will help me get there, I already know it won't."
"The fucking patriarchy," the other woman replied before biting into her wrap.ย 
"Right?" whined Jessica. "Like I can't win. I'm never going to get ahead here. I wonder if Penn State still wants me. Maybe I should call them." She honestly didn't have much keeping her in California, but Jake immediately came to mind. Which was ridiculous, because they had kissed all of a handful of times last night. But he did run five miles. And he did want Chippy to like him.
"You can't leave me here alone!" Advanced Calculus complained, and Jessica smiled. "Which event do they have you working on?"
As Jessica nibbled on her sandwich, she said, "A beer pong tournament. At a fraternity house." She deadpanned, but the other woman started howling with laughter.ย 
"I might actually be able to get my husband to come to alumni weekend even though neither of us went to school here!"
"Was he in a Kappa Pi chapter? I could probably make him some sort of guest of honor if he wants."
"No. Beta Gamma. We have the fraternity paddles at home to prove it. But he and I used to play beer pong in college, and I just know he would be more than happy to spend the fifty or hundred bucks per ticket to try to relive his glory days."
Jessica smiled tentatively. "Do you want to help me plan the event? I'm sure I could waive the fees for both of you."
She was expecting a loud resoundingย no. So when Jessica saw her nod and say, "Sure," she thought she might fall out of her seat. "Let me text my Beer Boy right now so he knows not to make any plans for that day. Not that he ever plans anything except a night out at the bar where I have to babysit him and Jake and the others, but you know..."
And then Jessica sat up a little straighter. Maybe Jake could come to the event, too. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad at all if they were all there. Maybe then Brian Conley would get off her back about everything, or at the very least, she wouldn't be alone when he tried to pick apart every little detail.ย 
"Thank you," Jessica blurted out. "Like honestly. Thank you for agreeing to help me. And just for inviting me to eat lunch with you."
The other woman looked up from her phone with a surprised expression on her face. "You don't have to thank me. Now.... why don't you tell me a little bit about your date with Jake. I heard that man ran like a hundred miles to see you."
Jessica felt warmth in her cheeks as she divulged a few details about the evening, but then she realized it was nearly time for her to teach her lab class. "I'm sorry, but I need to run. Maybe we can do this again next week?"
"Sure. And I'll start brainstorming some ideas for alumni weekend. I'll recruit Bradley to help. Or maybe not... everything would be tie dye."
Jessica was still smiling as she walked to the lab.
----------------------------
Jessica was no longer smiling when she was three quarters of the way through her office hours and nobody had stopped by. Her stomach was growling so loudly, she was sure you could hear it down by the elevators. And she was shopping on the Victoria's Secret website for something to do. Really, she just wanted to stop at In-N-Out and head home, but then there was a knock on her open door.ย 
"Reedy," Jake drawled, and she dropped her phone onto her desk with a soft thud. "You got some time for me?"
He looked so damn good in some well worn jeans and a Texas Longhorns shirt. But to make him even more appealing, he was holding some flowers and a container that looked like it was filled with food.ย 
"Jake," she whispered, standing up behind her desk. She felt goosebumps on her arms and legs as a crooked little grin appeared on his face. He headed straight for her and set the container down, and when he held out the flowers, she took them. "Thanks."
Then she noticed his eyes catch on her phone which was next to the container, and Jake's cheeks flushed pink. He swallowed hard and asked, "You doing some shopping?"
Jessica turned the phone over just as the screen faded to black, but it was too late. Her Victoria's Secret shopping cart full of thigh high stockings, a new garter belt, and a pretty green set had been plainly visible to him.ย 
"Maybe," she whispered, realizing that the green bra and thong set matched his eyes perfectly. And now she was thinking about how he might react to her wearing them. Jessica whimpered softly. And then his lips came crashing down against hers. She dropped the flowers onto her desk so she could have full access to his body as she stumbled back a step and hit her chair. But Jake had one arm wrapped securely around her waist, keeping her on her feet.ย 
She let her fingers sink into his silky hair as his tongue met hers, and she whimpered again for him. His kisses were so intentional, so sure. Like he really wanted to be here in this moment. With her. Yet he kept his hands very respectfully on her back. And she realized it had been a year since she'd let anyone touch or kiss her like this. It had been a year since she even tried, and she never expected it to feel this good.
"Wait," she gasped, wrenching her lips away from his and pulling herself from his warm grasp. Jake held his hands up like she'd burned him, and his cheeks grew pinker as she walked around her desk, high heels clicking along the floor.
"I'm sorry," he said softly, his tone bordering on questioning as his eyes followed her across the tiny room. She closed her office door with a soft thud, and then turned to look at him.
"Too many prying eyes around here," she said with a laugh as her fingers skimmed along the doorknob, already missing the feel of Jake.ย 
"Understood." He looked mildly relieved if no less pink as she made her way back to him. And then she was right in front of him again, and his lips were parted and his fingers were flexing, but he didn't make a move to touch her again as she adjusted her glasses.
She had somehow managed to pour cold water all over the moment by wanting to close the door, but just the idea of Conley walking by and catching them was too much for her to think about. Then Jessica's eyes trailed down to the lettering on Jake's shirt, and her fingers traced the T in Texas before she really knew what she was doing. She made it to the X, before she met his eyes again.ย 
"Jessica." His voice was deep and a little raspy as he reached for her wrist and flattened her palm against his chest. He covered her hand with his larger one and said, "You're in charge. You set the pace."
How could those words possibly turn her on the way they did? How was this happening? She just nodded and eased both of her hands up along his chest and around his neck while he stroked her arm with one big hand. And then she pushed herself up onto her tiptoes and kissed him softly, guiding his other hand around her waist.ย 
"I want you to touch me," she whispered against his lips, and that hand rubbed along her hip and then up her side in the most enticing way.ย 
As Jessica kissed down Jake's neck to the collar of his shirt, he said, "I can't stop thinking about you. Didn't want to wait until Saturday to see you."
She giggled against his stubbled jaw and said, "You come to my office hours so frequently, you're probably my best student."
Jake grunted and said, "Now you're just teasing me."
Jessica pulled away and looked up at his handsome face. "If I wanted to tease you, I would ask what you thought about the thong I was about to order on my phone."
His head tipped back, and she watched his Adam's apple as he swallowed. "You're right. That's a much better way to tease me. And I would say that green is my favorite color."ย 
When he met her eyes again, he very slowly brought his hand down along her butt. And then they were making out, hands everywhere. Jessica's glasses were crooked on her nose as he pushed his fingers up into her hair, tipping her head back for better access to her kisses. Her tongue was tangled with his again, and her fingers were tucking underneath his shirt when he moaned into her mouth.ย 
Jake cupped her cheek with his palm and let the kisses taper off, but he still held her reassuringly in place against him with his other hand on her butt. "So are you going to buy it?" he asked breathlessly.ย 
"Hmm?" she hummed, brushing her lips on his chin.
"The lingerie. Are you going to buy it?"
She gasped. "I don't really need it. I have so much already."
Jake just groaned and shook his head with a look of agony on his face. "You need it. The green ones. You should buy them."
She was in charge. He made it a point of telling her that she was, and now she felt powerful. "Alright. I will."
-----------------------------
Jake was a little nervous that Jessica would be able to feel how hard he was in his jeans when she told him she was going to buy that bra and lace thong that he was dying to see on her. His current state of need was only exacerbated by the way she vaguely told him she already had a whole collection of lingerie at her disposal.ย 
Maybe it was the high heels or the fact that he could see her light pink bra strap peeking out of the top of her blouse right now. Or maybe it was her glasses and her kiss swollen lips. It didn't matter. Everything she did turned him on. And she wasn't even really doing anything intentionally. Well, except maybe for the slight dirty talk.ย 
He wanted to make a comment about how pretty that shade of green would look on her or about how he'd love to take it back off of her, but he didn't. Instead he kissed her softly and said, "I stopped by to bring you dinner, so getting to see what you were shopping for was just a bonus, Baby."
She laughed and ducked her head before asking, "What's for dinner, anyway?"
"Chicken parmesan casserole and garlic toast. Oh, and a brownie for dessert."
Suddenly she was reaching for the container and peeking inside the lid. "This looks homemade. You made this?"
"Mmhmm." He rubbed circles into her hips through her skirt with his thumbs. "Trying to get you excited for Saturday."
She laughed and looked up at him. "I was already excited for Saturday."
He kissed her cheek and whispered, "Game starts at one o'clock. And I'm completely out of journals again."
And then Jake found himself standing behind Jessica at her bookshelf while she looked for the titles she wanted. He had one hand on her hip, and the other was held out so she could stack the journals she wanted for the weekend on his palm. "Oh, you'll like this one," she mused, adding one more to the pile. "I've read it a million times."
"Maybe I can read it to you," he murmured, and then her lips were on his again.ย 
In an ideal world, this would be something already established. He could just take Jessica home with him for the night. Probably have sex and then cuddle. And then they could both leave for work from his place in the morning after a nice shower together. And that sounded so good to him, he was actually willing to put in the work to try to get there.ย 
But tonight, he helped her carry her bag and her dinner and her flowers to her car. "You take the journals home with you," she whispered, kissing him just below his ear before she climbed into the driver's seat.ย 
"Enjoy your dinner," he drawled.
"I will," she said with a smile before Jake closed the door for her. And then he walked the two blocks to where he had parked his brand new truck less than an hour previously.ย 
The engine started up like a dream, and he drove home to clean up his place for Saturday. Not that it was ever too much of a mess; he lived there alone. Regardless, he wanted everything to look perfect. He wanted his couch to look extra inviting. He wanted to impress her.ย 
Jake didn't even go to the bar on Friday night. Two weeks in a row now he didn't bring a girl home with him and kick her out early Saturday morning. He could have gone to the Hard Deck, and it would have been fine. He could have played pool and annoyed Bradshaw by buying drinks for his wife. It would have been fun, and he could have come home empty handed, no problem.ย 
But he went to bed early after he jerked off in the shower to the daydream of Jessica in light green lingerie, and he couldn't remember the last time he slept so well. Then he spent Saturday morning getting food prepared for later.ย 
Jessica told him she wasn't picky and would eat just about anything, so he was getting the ingredients ready to make chili with the pregame show playing on his massive TV. Then there was a knock on his door. Jessica was standing there holding a six pack of Sam Adams bottles and wearing a fitted Texas A&M shirt and tight black leggings. He couldn't really tell if she was wearing any makeup, and she had traded in her high heels for some beat up sneakers. And Jake felt a little weak.ย 
"Hi." Her voice was soft as he opened the door wider.
"I told you not to bring anything," he said, eyes fixed on her body as she walked past him into his living room and looked around.
She turned back to smile at him over her shoulder. She looked maybe a little younger and so much more petite like this. Jake had to fight the urge to pick her up and carry her around. "Nice place. You going to give me a tour?"
"I dunno," he mumbled, closing the distance to her. "You're wearing an A&M shirt. The Longhorns' biggest rival."
She pressed her lips together, trying not to smile. "I thought you could make an exception for me?"
He took the six pack from her and brought his other hand up to cup her cheek. He kissed her slow and steady until he felt her fingers meet the waistband of his jeans. "Just for you," he promised. "Nobody else."
When he led her into the kitchen to put the beer away, Jake had to laugh. Her maroon and gray shirt perfectly matched his new truck. "What's funny?" she asked as he closed the fridge.ย 
"I just realized my new truck is maroon with gray trim. Just like fucking A&M. I've gotta be the worst Longhorns fan around."
"You got a new truck?" she asked, eyes wide.ย 
"Yeah. Thursday right after work, before I brought you dinner. Can't be late to meet you again."
"Seriously, you bought a new truck?" she asked, lips parted as she gaped up at him.ย 
"Yeah, it was time. Still hoping the old one can get fixed up. I tend to like to hold onto things once I get attached to them."
"That sounds nice," she said, lacing her fingers with his while he took her on a tour of his condo. He showed her his bedroom and the balcony after she inspected all of the food he had out on the counter for later. And she just kept getting closer to him until they were right next to the couch.
The game was about to start, so Jake just went ahead and told her what he wanted her to know. "I think I'm getting attached to you, Reedy."
She closed her eyes and let her cheek come to rest on his chest. "Are you going to try to hold ontoย me?"
Jake wrapped his arms around her and said, "Yes."
----------------------------
I can't get enough of Jake (who even am I?). And I love Beer Boy being so snarky to Jake and so loving to Sugar. Reedy + Sugar = bffs? Thanks to @mak-32 and @beyondthesefourwalls

Jelous Kenma hcs
โ‚Šหšเท† I don't think Kenma is the jelousy type tbh.
โ‚Šหšเท† But sometimes he has insecurities because, look at you, how is it that you-a beautiful, incredible, gorgeous (and the list goes on) person- ended up with a guy like him?
โ‚Šหšเท† The boy thinks that you're out of his league and that he's so lucky to have you.
โ‚Šหšเท† However, if you're ignoring him, well, that's different.
โ‚Šหšเท† At first, he doesn't notice beacuse, why would you ignore him?
โ‚Šหšเท† But once he does- proceed with caution.
โ‚Šหšเท† This boy will make anything to caught your attention.
โ‚Šหšเท† There was this time when you decided to try videogames, but no Kenmas videogames, no, otome videogames.
You were just chilling in your boyfriends bed, scrolling through social media while your boyfriend was playing in his computer until you saw this new viral otome game. In your boredom, you decided to give it a try and- omg
What is this thing and where was it your whole life???
The hours went by and you were just giggling and moving while playing with your phone. After failing the mission for the 34th time in a row, Kenma decided to have a little break.
Kenma lay down on his bed only to find you 100% focused on your phone. At first, he though you were only watching a video and when the video's over you'll give him attention.
With that in mind, he waited patiently on the other side of his bed for you to notice him. But when the minutes went by and you weren't paying him any attention, he though he had enough.
"Uhm, babe? What are you watching?" he asked calmly, with no signs that he wanted your attention because he's not attention starved.
(Oh, but he is)
You shuddered and give a small jump "Kenma? I didn't notice you" you said while you returned your gaze back to the game, his brow furrowing. "What were you saying?" you asked.
"I asked you what were you watching" he repetead himself.
"Actually, I'm talking to a guy of this ne- oh my god" you let out a giggle while your fingertips were tapping.
His brow furrowed more because who were you talking to and why was he more important than him, your boyfriend?
"A guy? I know him?" he asked, moving closer to you.
"I don't think so?" you chuckle imagine your boyfriend playing the otome game "His name is Zach, he's 24 and has electric blue eyes with baby blue hair" you gave him hints, hoping that he'd hear of him since he's the main male lead of the game.
"Who on this earth has baby blue hair' Like-"
"Shoyo has orange hair."
"..."
"..."
"...Do you want me to dye my hair baby blue?"
"Baby- What?" you asked shocked, what on earth was he talking a- oh.
Oh.
"Are you jelous?" you were teasing him.
"..."
" You know I'm p-playing an otome-game, r-right?" you were trying your best to not laugh but his cute red face was not helping.
He quietly gets up of the bed and started walking towards his computer.
Now you were laughing.
"B-Baby! Wait! I didn't mean to but-"
โ‚Šหšเท† He thinks that's the most embarassed time he's ever been.
โ‚Šหšเท† Kenma will start playing videogames again like nothing happend.
โ‚Šหšเท† At the end, you had to cuddle with him and explain him all the situation, while you tried your best to not laugh.

Thank you all for sending request! I'm so happy to do them!

Pairing: Choi Seungcheol/Reader
Summary: Late-night adventures with the guy your parents hate.
Word count: +2.6k words.
Warnings: snicking out of your house, mentions of your parents not liking Seungcheol, kind of forbidden love (?), mentions of tattoos and dyeing hair being seen as something that criminals do.
Author's note: I had a dream like this probably a week before my birthday, and every time I heard the song "In the middle of the night," I kept remembering it, so I decided to write it down. It's cringy, so you're welcome.

Your reflection on the other side of the mirror looked back at you with the same intense sparkle in its eyes as yours.
ย 
You put on your favorite perfume once again. It was your favorite perfume. The one for special occasions
ย 
The one you avoided wearing at all costs because it was too expensive to buy again, but that you wore because it was his favorite.
ย 
You touched up your eyeliner one last time and your red lips.
ย 
There was a sweet melody playing in the background.
ย 
It was one o'clock in the morning.
ย 
The sky was invaded by thousands of stars and the beautiful moon that had watched you grow up since you were a little girl.
ย 
It was still early.
ย 
You approached your window, sighing as your eyes were mesmerized by such overwhelming beauty.
ย 
You could feel your stomach being invaded by the tingling of hundreds of butterflies.
ย 
As nervous as you were.
ย 
A small chuckle escaped your lips, the sound startling you and causing you to quickly cover your mouth with your hands.
ย 
You were about to do something your parents would punish you for if they found out.
ย 
And that scared you a little.
ย 
But you couldn't help it.
ย 
The feel of his arms around your waist
ย 
His lips on yours
ย 
The sweet words he said as his hands drew you closer to his body
ย 
His perfume.
ย 
His husky voice.
ย 
The way he laughed
ย 
The way he looked at you
ย 
It was all so addictive.
ย 
That every time you set out to end this weird situation you were in, it just left you craving more.
ย 
Waiting for the next time you see him.
ย 
The images of the last time you had met only made the warmth in your cheeks spread to the rest of your body.
ย 
You looked at the time once more, wiping your palms against your clothes, before stopping the song that had been playing until then.
ย 
The volume was barely audible inside your room, so you knew your parents simply couldn't hear it.
ย 
Seungcheol: I'm here.
ย 
Taking a deep breath and a last look in the mirror, you walk as slowly as possible and carefully down the stairs.
ย 
You could feel your heart beating a thousand miles per second, pounding hard against your chest.
ย 
Seungcheol's black car was parked behind some trees, the spot he always chose because it was almost completely dark in case your parents or some gossipy neighbor wanted to look out the window. They couldn't spot him at first glance.
ย 
Its windows were tinted, so you couldn't see inside.
ย 
You bit your lower lip, trying to keep the smile that threatened to appear on your face from being too obvious.
ย 
The light inside the car came on as you slid into the passenger seat.
ย 
Seungcheol had one hand on the steering wheel, and his back was completely relaxed against the seat.
ย 
"You took your time; I was starting to think you might have changed your mind." He greeted you; his eyes traveled from your face to your dress, smiling broadly. "Looking pretty, as always." His minty breath washed over you; it was so addictive.
ย 
"I know." You rolled your eyes, gently tapping him on the shoulder.
ย 
You loved the way his strong biceps felt under his black leather jacket.
ย 
"I thought you might have fallen asleep; it's kind of late already. I was looking forward to seeing you in your pajamas." He teased you.
ย 
"Me in my pajamas? For you? Never." I joked back.
ย 
"Aw, trying to look all cute for me?" He continued the joke, starting the car and starting to drive away from your house.
ย 
The further they drove away, the more relaxed you felt.
ย 
You rolled down the windows, letting in some of the fresh air from outside.
ย 
There were almost no cars; it was as if you had the whole night and the whole world to yourselves.
ย 
"Did your parents hear you?" He asked, not really minding the silence between you both.
ย 
"No, my dad was snoring last time I checked."
ย 
"I was ready to take an emergency escape route just in case." He replied, and while there was a teasing smile on his face, you weren't sure if he was joking or not.
ย 
Seungcheol hummed the song that had started playing and turned up the volume a little.
ย 
You smiled.
ย 
Carefully, you moved your face closer to the outside of the window, trying to get a better view of the dark sky and the stars.
ย 
"Enjoying the view?" Seungcheol asked, his voice deep and husky.
ย 
"Yeah," you sighed, moving back to your seat. "It's definitely way peaceful out here."
ย 
You closed your eyes against the back of the seat, enjoying what came to be this little taste of freedom.
ย 
Seungcheol's hand rested on your knee, holding it gently.
ย 
The warmth of his hand spread from your knee to the rest of your body, making you suddenly all too aware of every move Seungcheol made.
ย 
"I'm glad," he replied.
ย 
You wondered if he also felt as nervous and anxious about these little meetings as you did.
ย 
Your fingers began to drum against the inside of your leg, trying to calm your nerves a little.
ย 
Seungcheol's hand caught yours without needing to look away from the road. "Why so nervous?" He asked quietly.
ย 
And truth be told, it wasn't at all fair the way he seemed so calm.
ย 
When one look from him had you shaking from head to toe,
ย 
"I'm not," you tried to defend yourself.
ย 
"Such a terrible liar." Seungcheol replied.
ย 
"What's that?" you asked, when the reflection of a light shone on his wrist.
ย 
Seungcheol smiled proudly, moving his arm closer to you so you could discover it on your own.
ย 
Your hand carefully moved along the red skin and dark lines. "Do you like it?" He asked.
ย 
"It's beautiful." You breathed, taking a closer look at the little details. "When did you get it?"
ย 
"This morning." Seungcheol replied happily.
ย 
"Did you actually wake up early? Wow. Unbelievable." You teased him.
ย 
Seungcheol pockets out his tongue at you. "I actually fell asleep while they were doing it." He confessed.
ย 
Your eyes were wide open with this new piece of information.
ย 
You didn't have any tattoos, but everybody that you knew that had one always complained about how painful they were.
ย 
"I must say, it's pretty, but the one on your neck is still my favorite one."
ย 
Seungcheol looked in your direction, making eye contact for a brief second. You couldn't ignore the obvious glow in his eyes. "I can take you to the person who did it; maybe you can get one of your own." He smiled, biting the inside of his cheek.
ย 
"And get my ass kicked out of my house? No thank you." You laughed.
ย 
"Well, what if you have it in a more discreet place? Like your lower back or something like that? I bet it would look good on you."
"I would pay just to know how many times you have thought about me getting a tattoo there."
ย 
Seungcheol didn't reply, but he changed the song.
ย 
You grinned when your brain recognized the song. Seungcheol glanced at you, chuckling at your reaction.
ย 
"Oh, you still remember it." He laughed, his cheeks tinted pink.
ย 
"How could I not?" You replied, laughing, "How old were you, nineteen?" You asked him.
ย 
Seungcheol snorted a yes, looking out of the window to avoid your teasing eyes.
ย 
"God, you have always had such a cheesy music taste." You laughed but still sang every single line of the song Seungcheol dedicated to you after your first encounter.
ย 
"It's not cheesy!" He sulked. "It's romantic."
Seungcheol would never know how much you replied to that song, dancing around your room like a fool in love, the first time you read the text with the name of the song.
Seungcheol and you were not exclusive.
ย 
Never spoke about not seeing other people.
ย 
But truth be told, you weren't interested in anyone else.
ย 
Since the moment your mother told you to stay away from him, it has been as if you had only eyes for him and no one else.
ย 
The first time you both spoke to each other was when your teacher sent you to give back the exams. Seungcheol accidentally bumped into you, and he apologized.
ย 
If he liked you at first, he was not sure about you.
ย 
Sure, he did look in your direction here and there. But he didn't talk back to you for months after that.
ย 
And you weren't sure if it wasn't for that party one of your friends made you go to, things would have gone the way they did.
Seeing him was fun, and it made you stop thinking.
ย 
Something that you needed so badly because overthinking seemed to be the only thing you knew how to do well.
ย 
Hours felt like seconds, and you always forced yourself to stay in the moment because the night was so short that you didn't have much time in your favor.
But then you were back at your house, back in your bedroom, between the four walls, wondering if it meant the same to Seungcheol as it meant to you.
"Are you sure you didn't fall asleep there?" Seungcheol asked, his hand coming under your chin and moving your head in his direction. The physical touch brings you out of your thoughts.
ย 
"Still wide awake." You mumbled, but a yawn made its way out of your mouth anyway.
ย 
"You sure?" He smiled at you. Finally reaching your favorite spot and stopping the car
ย 
It had a name, that's for sure, but you never learned it. However, you called it stars. Since it was so high, you could see all the lights from the city and all the stars in the sky at the same time.
The sky seemed way bigger from there.
ย 
It was usually occupied by tourists during the day, but at night it was mostly just you two in there (except one time where there was a car with a couple doing god knows what inside).
You went ahead of Seungcheol, getting out of the car and rushing to the edge, looking at the beads of lights that were shining brighter that night.
Seungcheol turned off the car's engine, and now that the place was completely dark, everything seemed even more private.
Seungcheol got out of the car and walked to your side at a slow pace, his hands resting in the front pockets of his black jeans.
"It is so beautiful," you sighed, trying to take in every single detail of the view in front of you.
"It's the exact same view as always." Seungcheol replied, You didn't need to turn your head to see him smiling, "but I agree, it is beautiful." You could feel his eyes on you.
You hummed, taking in the fresh air of the night.
ย 
There was not a single sound.
ย 
Seungcheol leaned against the hood of the car.
ย 
His hands were crossed over his chest.
ย 
The cold air was moving your hair, and that got you fighting against the air to avoid getting your hair on your face.
ย 
"You cold?" Seungcheol asked, removing the jacket from his shoulders.
You didn't respond; instead, you took a few steps back until you reached Seungcheol, who, after gently placing his jacket on your shoulders, moved his fingers up to your chin, lifting it so you could look into his eyes.
ย 
His free hand moved a lock of hair that was falling over your eyes, leaving it behind your ear.
ย 
"Your lips are purple." Seungcheol frowned, bringing his forehead together with yours. His sudden closeness got the reaction he was looking for, causing you to close your eyes in anticipation of his lips.
ย 
Seungcheol mumbled something, but you didn't really pay too much attention to it; your brain turned off the second you felt his soft lips against yours.
Seungcheol's hand moved to your cheek, his thumb stroking it gently.
ย 
Your heart was pounding so hard against your chest that you were afraid Seungcheol was feeling it.
ย 
Seungcheol moved his lips so slowly that a fire was slowly forming inside you, sending a shiver down your spine.
ย 
You broke away first, taking a step back and avoiding looking him in the eyes.
ย 
This was the part you hatedโ€”the moment when you wondered whether or not these weird emotions you were feeling were mutual.
If Seungcheol noticed any strange expression that was reflecting the mess you had in your mind at that moment, he did not mention it.
ย 
You sat next to him. Neither of you were looking at each other, but Seungcheol bumped you with his shoulder, lightly shaking you with his shoulder, and laughed when he heard your insults.
"Asshole." You told him, giving him back the push he had given you but using your hands instead, trying to use more force because Seungcheol was as easy to move as a mountain.
Seungcheol laughed, catching your hands and moving you until you were sitting between his legs.
ย 
"There, there, stop struggling." Seungcheol shushed you as if he were talking to a puppy that wasn't obeying.
ย 
He rested his chin on top of your head, drawing you to his chest as another tremor swept over you, hugging you.
"Maybe we'd have to get back in the car," Seungcheol muttered, trying to use his hands to create more warmth in your arms, rubbing the cold jacket. "You're going to be sick."
ย 
"In a few moments," you replied, "I want to enjoy this view a little longer."
ย 
"When you wake up tomorrow and can't talk because of a sore throat, remember to tell me so I can say, 'I told you so.'" Seungcheol complained, but he held you tighter anyway.
"What did you do today?" You asked, moving your head slightly to discreetly take in some of his perfume.
"No much," Seungcheol replied, his voice vibrating against your back. You closed your eyes to the sensation, liking it a little bit too much to be surrounded by his scent and his warmth. "I woke up early to help Wonwoo repair one of his motorcycles, and then I went to get the tattoo."
At the mention of the tattoo, your hand went instantly to his arm, your fingers carefully touching it.
"For someone who swears that she loves my other tattoo more, you're surely giving it way more attention."
"Yeah, well. The place where the other one is makes the whole attention thing difficult." You shrugged, freeing his hand.
"I'm still insisting that a tattoo on you would look amazing."
"I'm not against the idea, but my parents would be so furious at me." You replied.
"But what can they do once it's done?" Seungcheol asked, holding your cold fingers once again. "I never asked my mother for permission for my first; she saw it around a month or two later, and by then it was too late anyway, so she couldn't really do much. I bet your parents would get around the idea someday."
"I'm not so sure about it," you replied, but my mother sometimes still holds ground whenever she remembers that my older sister dyed some of her hair blonde when she turned twenty-five."
"But she was old enough already for that." Seungcheol frowned. "I was seventeen when I got my first tattoo." He chuckled.
"Was it good?"
"Nah," Seungcheol said, shaking his head. "It was so cringy, I got it covered up by another one."
You laughed, moving to get away from Seungcheol's arms. You were freezing, and the warmth that the car could provide was now way more tempting.
"Don't you think your parents would change their mind once they see you doing stuff like tattoos?" Seungcheol asked.
"I honestly don't know; my parents think that things like tattoos or dyeing your hair mean that you're a criminal." You smiled sadly.
"I would love to know what they think about me." Seungcheol smirked, turning the car on and starting to drive to MacDonald's to buy something to eat in the drive-through. Your stomach was already begging for some food.
The rest of the night passed so quickly that when you started realizing that the sky was now filled with much more light, you started feeling disappointed.
ย 
"You keep it." Seungcheol shook his head, passing his jacket back to you when you tried to give it back. "Use it in front of your parents; maybe like that, they'll start getting the idea that you'll soon also become part of the criminal life." He joked.
ย 
"I'll see you soon." You asked, hoping that Seungcheol didn't hear the hope in your voice.
ย 
"Sure, Wonwoo wants to try his motorcycles tonight; you can join us. Who knows? Maybe next time you'll be robbing banks."
ย 
You laughed, remembering the time you told Seungcheol what your father had said about Seungcheol's friends and their motorcycles.
ย 
"Yeah, maybe." You joked back.
ย 
And then the cycle began again.
ย 
You were dancing around your bedroom.
ย 
Wondered if he was blushing in his bedroom thinking about last night as well.

Namjoon as your werewolf boyfriendโ€ฆ.
* Follows you around EVERYWHERE
* To the bedroom, to the kitchen, to check the mail
* Even to the bathroom (heโ€™ll just wait outside for you)
* Hovers around you while you cook
* Always eager to taste anything and everything
* Heโ€™ll sometimes try dipping a spoon into something when youโ€™re not looking
* โ€œHey! No!โ€
* Then here comes the pout and the teary eyes
* And because you are oh so very weak to him, youโ€™d relent and let him taste
* Then heโ€™s happy again and you fall a little more in love with him
* Heโ€™s practically a big lap dog in both his human and wolf forms
* When youโ€™re relaxing on the couch or in bed, heโ€™ll come and plop himself right on your lap
* When heโ€™s in his human form, you donโ€™t mind it as much
* But his wolf form is 10 times larger and furry
* You always insisted on getting a bigger couch but heโ€™d just say
* โ€œBut this is our first couch together. It has sentimental value.โ€
* Him and his big heart
* Ugh you loved and hated it
* The ash colored wolf would stalk from somewhere, following your scent to the living room
* Youโ€™d be watching television or playing a game on your phone when suddenly your vision would be blocked by a mass of fur
* Heโ€™d be careful of his nails to not hurt you, climbing onto the too small couch for some cuddles
* โ€œOof. Namjoooooon. Youโ€™re heavy.โ€
* Heโ€™d just huff as if saying โ€œdonโ€™t fat shame meโ€
* Knowing there was no moving him once he was comfortable, you just had to accept your fate
* Sighing, youโ€™d lean your head on his back, focusing back on your phone or the television
* Eventually youโ€™d mindlessly start petting him, running your fingers through his soft fur
* Something new you learned about his fur was that he doesnโ€™t need to wash it since he gets a new coat everytime he shifts
* Crazy right?
* (Do yโ€™all ever think about that type of stuff with werewolf auโ€™s?)
* Anyway
* Heโ€™d relax under your ministrations, a deep and content rumble vibrating in his chest
* If you were feeling down in the dumps, heโ€™d play fetch with you
* He sort of hated acting like a dog but seeing your happy face everytime you threw the ball made it all worthwhile
* One time you tried to convince him to dye his fur red and be Clifford for Halloween
* That was a big no
* โ€œWe could be little red riding hood and the big bad wolf.โ€
* โ€œIโ€™m not a stereotype, y/n.โ€
* โ€œYouโ€™re literally watching birds right now.โ€
* โ€œBird watching is a very popular hobby!โ€
* โ€œYeahโ€ฆ..for dogsโ€ฆโ€
* You did convince him to dress up but he decided to be little red riding hood
* That means you were the big bad wolf and the opportunity was too good to pass up
* โ€œMy my, little red. You look good enough to eat.โ€
* He froze up at the feeling of your claw like nails running up his broad shoulders
* โ€œB-babyโ€ฆโ€
* He turned to face you, already finding you on your knees before him
* Your golden colored contacts stared mischievously at him
* Hands gripped the edges of his loose fitting pants, pulling them down his legs
* He grunted when your warm palm enclosed around his growing shaft
* โ€œWe should really get to the partyโ€ฆah.โ€
* Your tongue darted out to lick at his head, the saltiness of his precum sparking your taste buds
* โ€œWhatโ€™s the rush, little red?โ€
* When you were in public, he went from a sweet baby to an overprotective boyfriend
* Your scary dog privilege let you walk around without worry
* Sometimes if you wanted to go somewhere at night, heโ€™d shift into his werewolf form and trail along side you
* Even other dogs would scamper out of his way and creepy men didnโ€™t even look in your direction
* No one really knew werewolves existed so to regular people, he just looked like a huge dog
* A dog that was almost the size of the car but you digress
* In his human form, he was always holding your hand
* Moving you out of the way before someone could bump into you
* Staring down every person that got a little too close to you
* And those few times people have been rude to you, heโ€™d let out a low warning growl
* Youโ€™d sometimes have to keep him in check with a gentle hand on his chest or a brief look that told him not to overdo it
* Werewolves were unbelievably strong in both forms, scarily so
* Youโ€™ve never seen Namjoon get truly feral but you watch a lot of nature documentaries
* So you could only imagine him if he was really angry
* Your boyfriend was also beefy as hell, compliments of his genes so you knew he could protect you
* But that didnโ€™t mean you wanted him breaking someoneโ€™s bones and possibly going to jail
* Still, seeing him get all worked up did get you all hot and bothered
* MATING PRESS
* Your flexibility sucked when you started dating
* So in order to keep up with him, you started doing flexibility training at home
* Where at first your hamstrings would burn, now you could throw your feet behind your ears like nothing
* Sweat would drip down his body as he pounded into your puffy cunt
* Making sure you felt every single inch he had
* You wouldnโ€™t be able to tear your eyes away from how your pussy stretched around his girthy cock
* Every thrust would make your tummy bulge, showing you just how deep he was
* He could definitely go multiple rounds
* Stamina 10/10
* Heโ€™s a definite Switch and a Pleasure Dom
* He loves taking control like his alpha instincts tell him
* But he also doesnโ€™t mind letting you dote on him
* PRAISE KINK
* Call him a good boy and let him know how good heโ€™s making you feel and heโ€™s doing his best to make you feel even better
* He also loves when you ride his cock, saying sweet praises to him that made his toes curl
* โ€œThat cockโ€™s s-so good, Joonie.โ€
* โ€œI love that fat cock in my cunt.โ€
* โ€œYouโ€™re gonna make me cum again.โ€
* โ€œSuch a good boy.โ€
* Heโ€™s definitely a whiny baby
* Heโ€™s most sensitive behind his ears
* Duh
* Heโ€™s a biter too
* Seeing the indents of his teeth all over your skin just did something to him
* He couldnโ€™t mate you all the way so biting you was as close as he could get
* He plunges his entire cock into you when heโ€™s about to cum
* He wants you to feel his cum deep in your stomach
* Yeah he had a bit of a breeding kink
* Could you blame him?
* Your cunt was always so wet and ready for him
* How could he not want to put a baby in you?
* Especially when youโ€™d wrap your legs around his waist to keep him from pulling out
* โ€œFill me up. Wanโ€™ all your cum.โ€
* He hated when his cum would leak out, quick to plug you back up with his fingers
* His protective nature wouldnโ€™t even let you leave the bed
* Wrapping his arms around you and rubbing his scent all over your skin
* Youโ€™d indulge him for a moment but that sticky feeling would get uncomfortable for you very quickly
* Heโ€™d whine when you tried to get up, giving you those puppy dog eyes
* โ€œJust a few more minutes.โ€
* โ€œI want to clean your cum out of me.โ€
* Itโ€™s like a dagger through his heart
* โ€œIโ€™ll clean you.โ€
* โ€œYour tongue doesnโ€™t count, Namjoon.โ€
* After promises to make him his favorite meal, heโ€™d release you
* But alas, your knees would give up on you
* Good thing your ever attentive boyfriend was there to carry you like the princess you were
* โ€œYouโ€™re such a damsel in distress. You canโ€™t even walk by yourself.โ€
* Youโ€™d huff and bite his collarbone in retaliation which would pull a moan from him
* โ€œHey, no biting. Bad girl.โ€
* โ€œWoof.โ€

EPISODE ONE โ€” FATE | PROLOGUE
New year, Same Crush, Same friends, Same Grades, and whatโ€™s this? A new handsome face!
Tumblr media
Y/n L/n was well known for her bright and bubbly personality, the cheerful girl always smiling and jumping around throughout the school day despite her low scores, and the mean comments made by her classmates about her loudness or existence within their school.
She is also known for her very obvious crush on the school's golden boy Yang Jungwon. The girl does little to nothing to hide the fact that she likes said boy. Even mustering up the courage to confess during their freshman year.
" Jungwonie ~ I like you." you smiled voice pitched a bit higher than usual, eyes shimmering under the bright sunlight. A simple " I am not interested." is all you received in response as the boy walked away leaving you to sweep by yourself.
However, the rejection didn't at all phase Y/n. You were a determined woman and you wouldn't let Jungwon's rejection stop you from crushingโ€“ it had become a part of your daily life at this point.
So here you are a year later and still as in love as you were a year prior. Only now you and Jungwon were part of the same friend group. Thanks to your best friend Sunghoon who had become good friends with Jungwon over the Summer. And the final cherry on top was that Jungwon sat at the desk to your right so you could stare at him freely without being called out by their teacher or straining your neck... again.
" Y/nnie~ Guess what! your best friend is going to be one of the top idols in Korea soon." Sunghoon brags sitting himself in the seat to your left. The male had been your best friend since kindergarten so now you were stuck dealing with his randomness forever.
" Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it." you reply eyes never leaving the boy sitting to your right. Smiling as you watch him write down notes from his textbook. No wonder he's at the top of the class, he never stops studying.
" Hey you may doubt me now but I know about 10 companies that would beg to have a face like mine under their label." Sunghoon is about to continue his rant when he feels a tap on his shoulder.
Kim Sunoo.
Kim Sunoo was pretty cute for a guy, very smart, sometimes mean and a bit scary but that just made Sunghoon even more interested. How could someone with the face of a baby be so tough and outspoken?
" Sunghoon hyung you're in my seat!" the boy claims foxlike eyes staring into Sunghoon's widening round ones.
" Oh yes! sorry." The park boy apologizes before moving to the desk behind Sunoo. " Thank you!" the boy said sending Sunghoon one of his usual bright smiles as he sat down in his newly acquired seat. There were no assigned seats but Sunoo knew he wanted to sit beside you this year to make sure he could help you if necessary and because you were a pleasure to be around.
" Yah Kim Sunoo your hair! it looks great, I am jealous." Y/n whines playful pout resting upon her lips as she admires the boy's dark red hair. " Wonyoung dyed hers blonde! Iโ€™ve heard that's Jungwon a type." Sunoo whispers. Y/n sighed she had been wanting to dye her hair for ages but her mother would kill her if she ever put color anywhere near her hair. People like Sunoo and Wonyoung were very lucky. Y/n watches as said girl talks to Jungwon with her doll-like smile and flowing blonde locks.
" Do you think I would look good blonde?" The girl asks looking back at Sunghoon. "Of course not!" earning an eye roll from y/n and a smack on the arm from Sunoo that leaves him softly rubbing at the area. โ€œow.โ€
" You'd look beautiful with any hair color y/n don't let this fool give you any advice. He once got bleach and dye mixed up and almost went bald!" Sunoo laughs.
" I'm starting to think all the bleach went to his brain." Sunoo adds grabbing his notebook from his book bag.
" Hey! My scores are pretty good in my opinion." Sunghoon argues. " Doing good on the exam is one thing but remembering the information is another Hoon." Sunoo replies.
โ€œ yeah well, I donโ€™t see you offering tutoring sunshine.โ€
โ€œ as if Iโ€™d waste my time tutoring you.โ€
" Will you two quit flirting in front of me please it's disgusting." Y/n sighs turning her attention back to the cat-eyed boy in front of her. Completely missing the way both of her friend's cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
" Yeah well, why don't you wipe the drool off of your lip and pay attention for once?"
" Yang Jungwon is far more entertaining than whatever Mr.Lee is teaching." Y/n responds her smile growing as she rests her chin in her hands. Of course, you should be paying attention to the lesson since your English grade was a bit low for your parents liking but youโ€™d rather spend your time studying jungwons face than studying the English language.
" Y/n L/n."
The girl snaps out of her trance eyes widening. All eyes shifted towards her. "Please come write the sentence that Wonyoung Just read!" Mr.Les says gesturing towards the freshly wiped chalkboard. Slowly standing from her seat y/n timidly makes her way to the board.
I lost everything, I became a monster that can't die, but now I know what I have to do, Follow the blood token...
The girl freezes what was the last word again she thinks to herself trying to recite the poem in her head again,
how do you even spell that word is it an F or Ph....
English is stupid.
"Fate," says an unfamiliar voice. The chalk is removed from her hands as the unfamiliar male finishes the sentence. Y/n looks up at the boy silently thanking him with her eyes. The boy smiles before turning to face the class.
" he's handsome" "Is he the new transfer from Japan?" " how's he so tall?" I heard he's good at basketball... even better than Lee Heeseung " "No one is better than Lee Heeseung"
" Everyone let's quiet down and give our new student a chance to introduce himself. Y/n you may return to your seat." Mr.Lee says. the girl quickly made her way back to her desk dusting the chalk off of her hands.
" Hello everyone my name is Nishimura Riki, you can all call me Ni-ki, I'm from Japan, and I like sports." The maleโ€” Ni-ki informs, the class once again breaking out into small conversations as the male walks to the only empty seat which happens to be right behind y/n.
The boy softly tapping the girl's shoulder to get her attention. "Fate," the boy says once again, showing the word engraved cover of his journal. " Guess I got lucky." he smiles earning a small chuckle from the girl. Completely unaware of the pair of eyes that were lingering on the two.

โ‹† .หš ๐–ค โ€“ ft. SHIDOU RYUSEI โ‹ฎ contains: f! reader. fem receiving oral sex. spitting. brief penetration. a lil creampie bc i canโ€™t not add one. he gets into a fight so violence ig but not much at all
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
at first glance, ryusei doesnโ€™t look like a threat.
heโ€™s all pink dye and accessories, with a thin black choker sitting pretty on his throat, and a matching headband pushing back the two ombrรฉ strands that usually frame his face.
glance number two, and alrightโ€”maybe thereโ€™s more to him than meets the eye.
his hands are shoved in his pockets, but the veins that seemingly start at each wrist and taper off into his toned arms are blatant, and theyโ€™re not a comforting sight. the black tank top heโ€™s wearing is all but glued to him, showcasing his lean build, and hmโ€”he actually does look pretty strong.
butโ€”the most unsettling thing about him has to be his smile. thereโ€™s something rather inhuman about itโ€”maybe itโ€™s the simple fact that it even exists at a time like this, after heโ€™s heard a crude comment about you, his precious girlfriend.
the third glance is the lastโ€”a wide eyed, bloody nosed stare given by those whoโ€™ve just learned that the brunt of his strength resides not in his punch, but his kick.
and then, you have to take your threat home.
โ‹†
โ€œso much for behaving yourself tonight, huh ryu?โ€ you haphazardly toss your phone onto your bedโ€”watching as the device bounces a couple times before settling near his hand.
ryusei is sitting on the edge of the mattress, leaning back on his palms and watching you.
โ€œaww, cโ€™mon babydoll, i did,โ€ he insistsโ€”putting on a little faux pout as he coaxes you over to him through some unseen force. โ€œheโ€™s alive, isnโ€™t he?โ€
yes, he let the asshole off with a warning at most. doesnโ€™t he deserve a little praise for holding back?
โ€œhow sweet of you,โ€ you mutter sarcastically.
he thinks youโ€™re cute when you get like thisโ€”attitude off the charts because he went and made a scene again, and ohโ€”heโ€™s going to get himself hurt, is he? whatever. he doesnโ€™t care, and heโ€™s going to do as he pleases regardless.
though heโ€™ll always, always let you have the same freedom with him to atone for it.
โ€œwhat, you gonna punish me or somethinโ€™?โ€ he tongues at his cheekโ€”blinking up at you through long blond lashes. โ€œi wonโ€™t resist, angel face.โ€
an amused puff of air leaves your noseโ€”because you know damn well that the words punish me lose all meaning the second theyโ€™re in his mouth. you donโ€™t think thereโ€™s anything you could do that wouldnโ€™t turn him on in one way or another.
even so, thereโ€™s no harm in having a little fun with himโ€”right?
โ‹†
maybe not. heโ€™s definitely a handfulโ€”bombarding you with lewd comments, and greedily pawing at your hips as you attempt to shimmy out of your tight clothing. but you persist, and now here you areโ€”straddling his thighs in nothing but a pair of light pink panties, material so thin, so sheerโ€”you might as well be wearing nothing.
โ€œjust gonna sit there and look pretty, babydoll?โ€ he teasesโ€”grabbing onto your wrist and guiding your hand over the bulge in his unzipped pants. โ€œiโ€™d still cum, yโ€™know. youโ€™re that sexy, baby.โ€
โ€œyeah,โ€ you mumble, ignoring his latter comment. โ€œsomething like that.โ€
you rub him through the fabric of his boxers a bit before tugging the material down altogetherโ€”just enough to free his visibly excited cock, which you ignore completely.
instead, you lift your hips up and over where heโ€™s burning with red hot desire, repositioning yourself on his upper chest momentarily. there, you brush away the little baby hairs that have escaped from his headband, waiting for him to connect the dots and realize that yes, you will be sitting somewhere looking prettyโ€”but it wonโ€™t be back there.
โ€œfuck yeah baby, cโ€™mere.โ€ he bucks his hips at the sight of your cuntโ€”taunting him from behind the pretty pink lace. how fucking annoying, heโ€™s just about ready toโ€”
โ€œrip them and iโ€™ll kill you.โ€
oh, youโ€™re really speaking his language now.
โ€œhave it your way,โ€ he hums in a singsong voiceโ€”sticking his tongue out and leaning forward to lick a smug stripe up the centre of the fabric.
you respond by corralling his hands and pinning them above his head with one of your ownโ€”matching his arrogance as you purr, โ€œi will.โ€
gosh, he loves thisโ€”much more than he should.
using your free hand, you pull your panties off to the side, and he doesnโ€™t hold back the groan that rips from his throat, because fuck, youโ€™re so wetโ€”glistening with a pretty little glaze of your own arousal, practically begging to be feasted on.
โ€œcโ€™mon, fuckinโ€™ sit on my face baby, lemme taste that sweet cunt,โ€ he urgesโ€”hips bucking up into nothing once again. โ€œshit, iโ€™m not gonna last.โ€
slowly, you start to move yourself toward his faceโ€”and quickly, his primal urge seizes control and sends him lurching forward, meeting you halfway as he dives tongue first into your heavenly pussy.
and you think to yourselfโ€”shit, me neither.
because, much like everything else he does, he eats you out with a fervour second to noneโ€”with an appetite so large, a hunger so utterly insatiableโ€”a lifetime in between your legs would still have him asking for seconds. he sucks your clit into his mouth, and nearly unhinges his jaw as he dips his tongue down between your foldsโ€”wanting all of you, all at once. he does it over and over and over againโ€”a true gnawing motion, paired with loud slurps and smacks of your messy cunt.
mere minutes passโ€”and while youโ€™re busy falling apart atop his face, he looks calm beneath youโ€”humming in content as something, either his own spit, or youโ€”trails down the sides of his mouth.
โ€œryu, oh fuck,โ€ you hiss, gritting your teeth as you resist the selfish urge to grind yourself down onto his face.
โ€œmmmm, youโ€™re sweet baby,โ€ he pulls away in an attempt to catch his breathโ€”tongue running over his shiny lips. โ€œbut you donโ€™t taste like me. maybe iโ€™m not fuckinโ€™ you enough.โ€
his feast continues seconds after the last syllable leaves his mouthโ€”he rolls and twists his tongue over your clit, shakes his head side to side a little, and you feel your body start to give out. as a result, youโ€™re forced to release him from your grip as you latch onto the headboard for support.
โ€œjust let me cum ryu, please,โ€ you whine.
and oh how is heart swells, youโ€™re just so cuteโ€”rolling your hips against his tongue, using him to get yourself offโ€”all while you gracefully accept defeat. adorable. he loves you so, so much.
a series of grunts rumble from his chest, vibrating against your mess of a pussy, and you know those sounds all too wellโ€”vision blurring as you realize whatโ€™s happening. you know youโ€™re going to cum as soon as you look, but you do anyways.
peering over your shoulder, you watch through hooded lids as ryuseiโ€™s cock twitches, leaking his sticky white cum onto his pelvis.
your boyfriendโ€”the same guy who handed out a broken nose just before this, is cumming for you, because of you, and you barely had to touch him.
and there you go, squeezing your eyes shut as your own orgasm consumes youโ€”hips stuttering as your pussy pulses on his tongue. you sound so pretty, panting and gasping out his nameโ€”all he can do is hold you in place and help you ride out your highโ€”pulling back only after heโ€™s ensured you have nothing left.
โ€œsome pussy youโ€™ve got there, baby,โ€ he laughs breathily and pats the side of your thighโ€”letting you know he wants you to move. โ€œmade a real mess outta me, huh?โ€
โ€œi hate you,โ€ you mutterโ€”swinging a leg over him and sinking back against your pillows. did he even really deserve to enjoy that? โ€œiโ€™m not having sex with you for the next week.โ€
he grins amusedly at you, tugging his now ruined tank top over his head, and ridding himself of his pants shortly after. is he deaf?
โ€œwhatever you say,โ€ he absentmindedly agreesโ€”coming back and hovering above your figure. he grabs your jaw, and runs his thumb over your lips.
โ€œryusei.โ€
โ€œshhhh, open up,โ€ he orders, and you donโ€™t know what point youโ€™re trying to prove anymore, if any at all, but you do just thatโ€”you part your lips and stick your tongue out. with your gaze piercing his skull, he spitsโ€”a little glob of saliva that clings to his tongue before settling on yours. โ€œwhat do you taste, babydoll?โ€
you close your mouth and swallowโ€”telling him what he wants to hear.
โ€œme.โ€
โ€œaw, isnโ€™t that sweet?โ€ he purrsโ€”leaning down to press a sloppy, open mouthed kiss to your lips.
and you almost donโ€™t notice him easing the head of his cock into you, though itโ€™s hard to ignore the sultry moan he lets out when he buries himself to the hiltโ€”cock hypersensitive, and fully capable of filling you up right then and there.
โ€œhey, i know you heard me,โ€ you mutter, slipping two fingers beneath the tight band of his chokerโ€”making it even tighter.
โ€œshit,โ€ he pantsโ€”hips jerking as he effortlessly cums for a second time. โ€œyeah, i heard you angel face. iโ€™m gettinโ€™ my weekโ€™s worth now, donโ€™t want this pussy forgettinโ€™ about me.โ€

Hi!!! I missed your writing, Iโ€™m so glad youโ€™re back ๐Ÿ–ค can I request Johanna x fem!reader where reader helps Johanna dye her bangs because omg I love her hair so fucking much
Like Blood
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Johanna Mason x Fem!Reader
warnings: mentions of blood/killing, not proofread
word count: 1369
--
the room is silent, with a sense of understanding filling the walls.
โ€œyou could try a different color, yโ€™know,โ€ you say, breaking the silence as you glance up at the brunette from your seat on the floor.
youโ€™re mixing together a batch of bleach while sheโ€™s seated on the toilet, watching you like a hawk.
Johanna simply shakes her head, โ€œi like red. itโ€™s-โ€
โ€œlike blood, i know i know.โ€ you cut her off, chuckling as you finish putting the developer into your concoction.
the other girl goes silent again, taking to just observing you.
you grin up at her when you finish mixing the bleach, โ€œall done, you ready, Jo?โ€
Johanna nods, shuffling on the toilet lid as she watches you stand up. the brunette is twisting and pulling at her fingers while you position yourself.
you straddle Johannaโ€™s lap, seating yourself there. โ€œhold.โ€ you hum, lifting her arm up to hold the bowl of bleach for you. the taller girl does as you say without thought.
sheโ€™s silent as you slowly layer the bleach onto her bangs, โ€œyou should wash your hair more often, itโ€™s greasy.โ€ you say nonchalantly,
Johanna huffs and rolls her eyes, causing you to squint your eyes at her. you grip her cheeks and she makes eye contact with you. โ€œiโ€™m serious, Jo, when you get back iโ€™ma make sure you wash your hair every other day.โ€ you mutter, letting go of her face to continue bleaching her strands of hair.
Johannaโ€™s eyes are soft as she watches you, but your eyes never leave her hair. you make sure not to look at her, you know what this could turn into.
silence fills the room again, the only sound is the squishing noise of the brush dipping into the bowl of bleach.
โ€œyouโ€™re going to come back, i know you are.โ€ you mumble, setting the brush in the bowl and the bowl on the sink. you look down into Johannaโ€™s eyes, whoโ€™s never left yours. the rubber gloves are peeled off of your hands and tossed into the trash can next to the toilet.
you falter for a second before reaching forwards to cup the brunetteโ€™s cheeks. โ€œwe have so much to do, Johanna. our entire lives ahead of us.โ€ you say softly, brushing your thumb over her cheekbone softly. โ€œyouโ€™ll come back to me, because i know you want to, and the Johanna i know always finds a way to get what she wants.โ€ a small smile forms on your lips as you finish your sentence.
the other girl chuckles, โ€œi know iโ€™ll come back, just.. i donโ€™t wanna leave in the first place.โ€ she mumbles, her soft eyes bore into you. โ€œi thought that when i won my games theyโ€™d leave me alone-โ€
โ€œthey said they would.โ€ you mutter, cutting her off.
Johanna hums before continuing, โ€œheโ€™s proving that iโ€™m never out of his grasp.โ€ she whispers.
your eyebrows furrow, โ€œhe? Snow?โ€
Johanna nods.
you shake your head, โ€œyouโ€™re not his pawn, Johanna, youโ€™re just doing what you have to do to survive.โ€ you say gently.
โ€œhe wants the district 12 rebels dead. thatโ€™s why heโ€™s doing this.โ€ she mumbles, her eyes leaving yours to look down at her chipped nail polish. โ€œheโ€™s using us to do his dirty work.โ€
you frown, looking down at her nails with her. โ€œyouโ€™re no killer, Jo.โ€
that makes her laugh, she looks up at you through her greasy, bleached bangs, โ€œthen what am i? i killed to be here, with you. and now iโ€™m going to have to do it again because god knows i wouldnโ€™t leave you here alone.โ€
you stay quiet, your eyes meeting her brown ones once more.
โ€œtime to rinse.โ€ you mumble, getting off of her lap and walking over to the metal bathtub. you turn the tap. โ€œcome on,โ€ you motion her over as you put on a new pair of rubber gloves.
Johanna is silent as she walks over. she sits on the floor, letting you tip her head back.
your hands are gentle as you rinse the bleach from her now discolored bangs. โ€œthere we go..โ€ you hum, grabbing a towel.
you pull Johannaโ€™s head up, rubbing the towel over her hair to dry it. when you're finished drying the brunetteโ€™s hair you set the towel over the side of the tub. โ€œnow we wait for it to dry so we can add the red, okay?โ€
the taller girl nods, โ€œokay,โ€ she replies.
youโ€™re silent once more as you take care of the trash from the bleach.
โ€œi donโ€™t like it when youโ€™re quiet.โ€ Johanna says, looking up at you from her position on the floor. her eyebrows are furrowed and her fingers are twisting and pulling at each other.
you sigh, glancing down at her, โ€œi donโ€™t know what to say anymore.โ€
โ€œyou donโ€™t have to talk about whatโ€™s happening, i just..โ€ she mumbles, her eyes quickly averting themselves from you and back down to her hands. โ€œi like hearing your voice.โ€
you stand there for a moment, quiet, as you stare down at her.
this isnโ€™t the Johanna you knew, this Johanna is soft, fragile, afraid. but what is she afraid of? you know sheโ€™s not afraid of the games, she knows she can and will dominate them.
โ€œokay.โ€ you whisper, sitting next to her on the floor, your side pressed to hers. โ€œwhat do you want to talk about then?โ€
maybe sheโ€™s afraid of being used by Snow to get the rebels under control. but she wouldnโ€™t be acting like this if that was the case.
โ€œtell me what weโ€™re gonna do when i win these games,โ€ the brunette responds, moving her hand to rest on your thigh as she looks over to you.
thatโ€™s when it hit, you know what sheโ€™s afraid of.
your eyes soften as you look back at her, โ€œwell, we could get a cat..โ€
Johanna scoffs immediately, โ€œwe are not getting a cat.โ€
you pout your lip at her, โ€œa puppy then?โ€
the taller girl rolls her eyes, a small grin on her lips, โ€œwe could get a dog.โ€
Johanna Mason is afraid of losing you.
โ€”
it takes a little while for Johannaโ€™s hair to dry, but the two of you donโ€™t really mind. the time was filled with chatter and light banter.
so you find yourself in the same position as before, the taller girl sitting on the toilet and you seated in her lap.
the both of you are smiling as you apply the red hair dye to Johannaโ€™s bangs. โ€œi love your hair,โ€ you say absentmindedly.
โ€œi thought my hair was greasy and gross?โ€ the brunette chuckles, raising an eyebrow.
you roll your eyes, โ€œdoesnโ€™t mean i canโ€™t love it.โ€ you huff.
red beads of dye roll down the girlโ€™s forehead as she looks up at you.
your eyes meet as you finish with the last strand of bleached hair.
your heart rate quickens slightly, as a soft breath escapes your slightly parted lips. you find yourself slowly leaning down, your eyes half-closed in anticipation. as you make your descent towards the brunette, you can practically feel the electricity in the air.
Johannaโ€™s eyes never leave yours as she leans forward.
when your lips finally meet hers, it's as if a burst of energy passes between you.
without breaking the kiss, your hands reach forward, fingers splayed as you gently cup her cheeks. the soft skin beneath your fingertips serves to ground you in the moment. as the kiss deepens, the passion between you both palpable as you lose yourselves in the kiss.
when the two of you pull away youโ€™re both breathing heavily.
you smile gently down at her, โ€œiโ€™m going to be right here, waiting for you.โ€ you whisper, leaning down to peck her lips again before pulling away.
โ€œyouโ€™re gonna win those games โ€˜n come back here to me,โ€ you hum, โ€œand weโ€™re gonna get a cat-โ€
โ€œwe are-โ€ Johanna cuts you off, squinting her eyes at you.
you push your hand over her mouth, โ€œ-weโ€™re gonna get a cat, and a dog.โ€ you huff.
the brunette rolls her eyes, pushing your hand away from her face, โ€œmaybe.โ€
you smile, โ€œiโ€™ll take it.โ€

Hi, Iโ€™ve only read one meta by you yet, but you seem to be just the right person to ask this: did you notice how many people in the scenes outside the bookshop are wearing orange, in series 2?
Any idea what thatโ€™s all about? Is it just esthetics, an echo of the bookshopโ€˜s columns, or does it have a filmographical significance? Everytime I watch the show there seem to be more orange clothes, once you start seeing that, itโ€™s crazy how many there are!
Hey thanks for the ask! I mean, you have until 2026 to read more of my drivel so; pace yourself! Orange clothing is definitely an *interesting* choice for extras in film. You almost never see it in background actors clothing because... it draws the eye! The fact that they included so much orange, yellow, and loud patterning in the extras in season 2 is a real decision to throw film tradition and S1 cannon out the window.
I would like to submit my own theory that the choice was made as a deliberate nod to time travel. But first, a little background.
Compare two crowd scenes on Whickeber street from each season: It's kind of nuts that even at microscopic resolution we get such a HUGE difference.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's not to say orange is missing. Here are the only two extras wearing orange in S1, and they happen to be in the same scene in episode 2, when Newt and Shadwell meet for the first time, discussing occult beings "hiding in plain sight". (witches in this case)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also get some pretty obvious bright orange in main characters in S1: Madame Tracy and Beelzebub. We meet Tracy in orange as she immediately reveals to Newt multiple hidden identities, see her again wearing orange hair when she communes with spirits, and finally all decked out in orange when she is being possessed by an angel (a person hiding inside a person). Beelzebub wears an orange sash and medal as a high ranking Duke of Hell, so orange is maybe their house colour, or a prestigious colour for hell in general, but after season 2 we know Beelzebub doesn't always have the same face, and is hiding intentions of their own.
Tumblr media
Orange doesn't have much biblical significance, mostly because the colour orange was mostly seen as "fire" or "bright" coloured until way after the bible was transcribed, and orange dye wasn't really a thing in the European world until significant trade with east Asia developed. Here's the only other bright orange thing to appear all season, (in a deleted scene): Crowley hiding in plain sight, posing as a maintenance worker.
Tumblr media
I think we might be able to draw the conclusion from season 1 that orange is a colour associated with the "Hidden Occult/Power". Not necessarily only hell, but more as something otherworldly, that's hidden in plain sight. (Interestingly, we never ever see Anathema or Agnes Nutter in orange. So I wouldn't say it's related to witches at all.)
In season 2 however, orange is everywhere. More specifically on extras' clothing and the outside of Maggie's record shop.
Tumblr media
Maggie seems to be the only main character to wear bright orange herself (E2).
Tumblr media
But this is by far my favourite one: in the back of the crowd of demons getting a Shax pep talk in S2E5, there's a regular human extra wearing bright orange sitting amongst the army, completely unnoticed by both demons and audience, observing the plan.
Tumblr media
This really set off alarm bells for me, because there's a very Terry Pratchett precedent for powerful and unnoticed orange-wearing characters in the discworld series : the time monks.
Tumblr media
Terry's character Sweeper seen here on the original cover of Night Watch. The time monks' clothing and general philosophy is based on Thai buddhist monks, who (like in many buddhists sects) wear donated, saffron-dyed robes in orange and yellow/red to symbolize flames of purity, and to separate them from the world of gross matter, like a fallen leaf from a tree.
In the discworld novel Night Watch, the time monks are responsible for monitoring and cleaning up the timeline, pruning it like a bonzai tree. They are everywhere and yet unnoticed, inside the flow of time yet not of it. And they are the ones who guide the main character through the process of being stuck after falling back through his own timeline, into his own past.
Tumblr media
(Excerpt from the book where Sweeper is explaning time travel to Vimes).
Extras circling in the background are called "background actors" because they exist to not be noticed. Put in extras wearing orange/yellow and bright red, and suddenly you can track them, and notice how they are part of the crowd, but stand apart from it. You can notice when they go missing from one cut to the next, or appear to circle or jump between frames. Many extras, including the demon army watcher, also seem to be circling, and monitoring the goings-on in the world of Good Omens. Based on the meaning of orange from S1, it would seem these mere background actors are more than they appear to be. Could they even be checking up on unwarranted time distortions or timeline ruptures happening around a certain Bookshop...?

Hi! It's me again :) btw can I be your -๐Ÿ’€anon?
You don't have to put a tag or anything but it's just so when I send asks you know it's me (^-^)/
Btw loved the headcanons you made
Could you please do some but this time it's a bit silly like I have this plot in mind :
Skele walks on s/o cutting their hair but with kitchen scissors and then like making it better with a derma shaver (I saw a video on tiktok of someone doing that and it just was funny to me lol)
What would the skele do and think? It'd be funny if some if them are a bit confused since they don't have hair
Again no worries if you don't take the ask ! Have a good day/night and be safe :)
of course you can be ๐Ÿ’€ <3
(imma just do the skelebros from the last req bc i love them)
(also the amount of times ive wanted to do the exact same thing)
UnderTale, UnderFell, and UnderSwap skelebros walk in on their s/o cutting their hair
UnderTale:
Sans:
-"whatcha doin', y/n?"
-you look at him through the mirror while you continue cutting your hair.
-"oh, nothing! just wanted a little bit of a change. by the way, could you make sure im getting it even in the back?"
-he does.
-other than that, he just... watches.
-not creepily, or whatever.
-he's kind of quiet the whole time.
-when you finish, you do a little twirl to show your haircut
-"good job, kiddo"
-goes to take a nap
-as long as you're happy, he's okay.
Papyrus:
-"human! what is it you are-" his jaw dropped.
-literally. it fell on the floor.
"ARE THOSE MY SCISSORS??"
-that was his biggest concern. was having to wash the scissors. he uses those to cook! he needs them clean!!
-he gives you the silent treatment after
-for about 20 minutes. what can he say? he missed you!
UnderFell:
Red:
-he was just walking by the bathroom and looked caught a glance of you, scissors in hand, hair in clumps on the floor.
-he thinks it's a fighting thing. to keep monsters from being able to pull it.
-kind of surprised when you said that no, you just thought it'd be fun.
-he's weirded out, kind of. he thought you liked your hair?
-but oh well. as long as he doesn't have to be the one cleaning up the bathroom.
Edge:
-he definitely has the strongest reaction of all of the skelebros.
-he LOVES your hair.
-when you said you just felt like cutting it, he STORMED out of the house.
-he went through extreme grief.
-he didn't tall to you much for the next week or so.
-least supportive, most dramatic. that's for sure.
UnderSwap:
Blue:
-he is SO excited.
-he thinks you'll look great!
-asks if he can help you
-wonders if you'll dye it, too? blue! it'a his favorite color, to go with his favorite human.
-the exact opposite of SOMEONE *cough cough* Edge
-he is the MOST supportive
Honey:
-"hey, y/n, have you seen- oh!"
-it's certainly a surprise, but a welcome one, indeed.
-hangs around in there, just watching what you're doing.
-how are you so good? have you done this before?
-he thinks you look pretty damn good, though
sorry some of these are short ;-;
also idk if you meant just trimming? like i started writing these thinking 'oh! anon meant like long hair and going short! great!' because that's where it is from my (long haired) perspective. if that isn't what you meant i'd be happy to rewrite them x

A little bit softer
Chapter 7
Eustass Kid x crewmate!fem!reader
TW: drinking, cursing
Sorry itโ€™s been so long for an update, work and life have been crazy and I barely got this chapter written.
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
Your group tried to ask for details of your conversation with Jon, but you didnโ€™t let them know anything.
Those rat bastards couldnโ€™t be trusted.
In an effort to stave off boredom and suspicion, you hopped from group to group. Taking time to visit with everyone and practice a little flirting, not that you needed it but it passed the time. Wire was probably your most common victim tonight, though he gave as good as he got.
โ€œAw come on Wire! You canโ€™t be calling it off already.โ€ You pout when he announces his last round of the night, it wasnโ€™t even that late. He pats your cheek softly and gave you a smile.
โ€œAs much as Iโ€™d love to stay darling, thereโ€™s a handsome young man Iโ€™ve had my eye on and I think weโ€™re about ready to go.โ€ He consoles you, giving you a small kiss on the top of your head. Youโ€™re giggling as he saunters off to find his date for the night, leaving you with Killer alone.
You donโ€™t spend much time with Killer one on one, heโ€™s a very stoic and closed off person, even more so in public. Despite his mother hen type personality, he was probably the crew member you talked to the least, except maybe Kid. Still you felt bad leaving him alone right as soon as Wireโ€™s gone, although he probably wouldnโ€™t mind.
The two of you sit together, sipping your drinks as you watch the crowd. Youโ€™ve switched to straight soda now to avoid getting any sloppier and it seems toโ€™ve helped a little.
โ€œSoโ€ฆ. whatโ€™s your type?โ€ Killer suddenly asks.
You choke on your drink for a moment, he pats you on the back roughly. After a little coughing, you burst out laughing.
โ€œWhereโ€™d the fuck did that come from?โ€
โ€œCurious.โ€
โ€œMhmm yeah sure. Curious.โ€ You roll your eyes. โ€œDoesnโ€™t have anything to do with trying to get me and the Captain together?โ€
โ€œYouโ€™ve noticed that?โ€ Youโ€™re surprised that heโ€™s surprised, you start laughing again.
โ€œYeah I have! Youโ€™re not subtle, none of you are subtle!โ€ You gesture widely to the crowd, no one pts you any mind.
โ€œYou never answered.โ€ He reminds you.
โ€œOh is it First mateโ€™s order then?โ€ You chuckle, blowing bubbles into your drink.
โ€œYes.โ€ Youโ€™d throw your drink at him if you thought you could win the ensuing scuffle.
โ€œYou first.โ€ You face him, giving him all of your attention, chin propped up on your hand as you watch him tense up. โ€œWhatโ€™s your type, Killer?โ€
His neck is red, you realize with glee. Your normally unflappable first mate was blushing. Part of you is a little sad you didnโ€™t picture him the other night in the showers, but you tried to push that thought from your mind. You didnโ€™t wanna end up with a red face as well.
โ€œI uh- asked first.โ€ He coughs and turns his head.
โ€œCome on! Youโ€™re asking me I think I should get something in return.โ€ You whine, it apparently works on him- not shocking.
โ€œFine, I like short women, with bright hair. Like pink or blue.โ€ He finally answers. You start to get up and he shouts after you. โ€œWhereโ€™re are you going?โ€
โ€œTo find pink hair dye!โ€ You cackle, trying to dip into the crowd and lose him, but heโ€™s faster and soon you have a large hand gripping the back of your chest harness.
โ€œNice try. Was funny though.โ€ He easily carries you back, about to set you down when a shout stops him.
โ€œOi the fuck you doing with her?โ€
Blocking your path to the booth is Kid, glowering at Killer as you dangle from his hand. Behind him is the same pretty lady from before, her eyes are wide as she looks between you and Killer. You wave to her with a bright smile, she waves back slowly.
โ€œShe thinks sheโ€™s funny and trying to run off.โ€ Killer says, not belying the real story. โ€œIโ€™m bringing her back to the booth.โ€ Kid just looks annoyed now, his eyes on you now.
โ€œYouโ€™re causing a lot of fucking trouble today.โ€
You just grin at him, still feeling energized from messing with Killer.
โ€œHey, you good?โ€ The woman behind him asks, her eyes are only on you. You recognize this look, Hop has taught you Girl Code before and youโ€™ve definitely done it as well.
โ€œShit I forgot you were there.โ€ Kid mumbles, but Killer is watching her intently, his hand on you is tense. Your smile brightens even more.
โ€œIโ€™m good, my buddy is just mad I wonโ€™t wing man for him.โ€ You give her a thumbs up before Killer drops you suddenly. Kidโ€™s hand is quick to snatch you by the front of your harness, before you hit the ground, itโ€™s only a moment before he sets you down. A little flustered by all the movement you try to smile at her again. โ€œI like your hair, very pretty blue.โ€ She smiles genuinely now.
โ€œThank you! I like yours too.โ€
You grin up at Killer and back at Kid, a plan on you mind now. A quick glance at the clock tells you youโ€™ve only got 10 minutes left.
โ€œHey Boss, I forgot I had some shit to go over with ya.โ€ You step over to her and gesture back to Killer. โ€œCool if we trade? I promise heโ€™s good company.โ€
The woman grins at you, getting what you mean. She leans forward in an exaggerated manner to whisper in your ear.
โ€œThanks, the redhead is a little boring so good luck.โ€ You both giggle and trade spots, she immediately is tugging Killer off to a new table. It doesnโ€™t take much for him to follow her.
โ€œThe fuck just happened?โ€
โ€œSorry Boss, had to help Killer out and get him off my back.โ€ You didnโ€™t think heโ€™d actually be mad, he seemed to be barely aware of her existence. He confirms it by sitting where Killer had and downing the rest of his friendโ€™s drink.
โ€œMeh itโ€™s fine,โ€ Kid shrugs, not particularly concerned. You check the clock again, 4 minutes to go. โ€œWhat was he bitching about now?โ€
โ€œHmm?โ€ You turn away from the clock to scan the crowd for Jon. โ€œOh uh he was asking me about weird stuff.โ€
โ€œWeird stuff? The hell does that mean?โ€ He looks over the crowd now to see what youโ€™re looking at. His fingers snap in front of your face. โ€œHey pay attention.โ€
โ€œHe was asking about my type and shit.โ€ You weโ€™re distracted and couldnโ€™t think of a lie, plus you wanted to see howโ€™d Kid react. It was instantaneous, your captain went red faced and stiff, you kinda liked it.
Knock that off and look for Jon.
Kid didnโ€™t say anything for a moment, just watching you for a moment as you kept looking around. Finally he stood up, catching your attention as he came around to your side, he pulled on your wrist gently.
โ€œLetโ€™s go. Outside.โ€ You didnโ€™t move for a moment, confused, he didnโ€™t pull harder or let go. Just stared down at you.
โ€œOh Iโ€™m actually wait-โ€
โ€œI know who youโ€™re waiting for.โ€ He cuts you off, scowling now as he tugs on your wrist again. โ€œOutside. Now.โ€

Tumblr media
YOU stand by the doorway to your small bathroom, looking between the products you have strewn across the bathroom countertop, almost teetering over the edge and falling into the sink. you watch it with a burning gaze until you roll your head lazily to the side just when you feel a presence come up behind you.
choi jongho looks at you quizzically, pushing his glasses farther up his nose and raises a perfectly shaped brow at you. "what are you doing?"
"looking at the hair dye," you motion at the bathroom countertop with a wave of your hand. "are you sure you don't want me to buy you an actual... gift instead of," you pause, lips tugging down slightly when you look back inside your bathroom, "this. i could take you to dinner, or buy you a new watch..."
jongho hums, shuffling past you. the sight of him having to hunch his shoulders in order to squeeze inside the bathroom is a funny sight, making you snort in amusement as you follow after him. the brunette gets into the bathtub, his legs pulled up to his chest andโ€”
"is that my teddy bear?" you ask, blinking and pointing at the white, stuffed animal he has in his hand.
your best friend nods. "it's my emotional support buddy for this, you know that. as my best friend, i honestly feel offended that you didn't know that."
you roll your eyes, busying yourself with putting on gloves. "yeah, yeah. my bad. let's get this done and over with."
jongho places the teddy bear at the other end of the tub, making it face him.
the soft hum of your playlist fills the air while you two don't speak, jongho patiently waiting for you to finish applying the dye to his hair and you focusing on the task at hand.
"why didn't you go to the hair salon?" you murmur, carefully applying red dye to jongho's bleached hair. "hair stylists would do a much better job at this than i do."
jongho shrugs. "i like it when you dye my hair... plus, it's cheaper."
"wow," you scoff, "i can really feel the love here."
"do you think it looks like me?"
"what?" you ask, eyebrows furrowed. "what are you talking about?"
jongho leans forward to grab the teddy bear across from him, earning a yelp of surprise from you. huffing angrily, you elbow his shoulder as jongho holds your stuffed animal next to his cheek. "do you think sir teddy bear looks like me? i think he does. don't you see the semblance?"
you laugh softly, telling him to face forward so you can do your job. "yeah, i guess so. he's not as cute as you, though."
"you think i'm cute?"
when jongho quickly turns his head to look at you, you whine, having almost let the brush touch his forehead. "choi jongho, you punk! stop moving so much or else i'm going to end up putting hair dye on your face!"
"you think i'm cute?" he repeats, blinking at you.
"of course, i do! you're the most attractive person i've seen in my life! now face forwards again so i can finish my job!"
jongho grins, his smile so bright that you stop talking and stare at him.
"i think you're pretty cute too," he says, whispering as he leans towards you, looking at you with eyes that turn into a warm brown color from the lighting of the bathroom. his gaze flickers down to your lips and then back to your eyes.
"jongho, you can kiss me all you want once i'm done dying your stupid hair for your birthday." you shoot him a lopsided smile. "please turn your head now."
he shakes his head. "promise?"
"yes, i promise. now look forward."
as you resume dying his hair, jongho hums along to the song that plays in the background. instead of drumming his fingers against his knees, he plays with your teddy bear, occasionally lifting it and pressing it against your cheek, claiming that, 'sir teddy bear is kissing you for me right now.'
and once you were done and in the midst of cleaning the area up, jongho waits no time and trapping you against the countertop and playfully pecks your lips repeatedly.

Awkward (N. Kento)
Theres just not enough fics of Nanami with black women outside of just smut..so here i am with smut but theres plot based on sza songs Awkwardย 
Time passing.
Nanami still has no idea how Gojo convinced him to attend his silly little holiday party. Knowing Gojo it would be loud, eccentric and lots of alcohol involved. Plus the fact that Gojo knew everybody and it looks like heโ€™s invited everyone Nanami was ready to leave.
But Gojo made him promise to have one drinkโ€ฆjust one. Plus he made some know it all comments about Nanami being a workaholic who was probably just going to go home look at stuff for work and do even more overtime spending the holidays alone. He always ragged on him about extra work but the alone part cut deep this time because it reminded him of his ex girlfriend the one he almost proposed to on the night of their anniversary, ring in pocket but he ended up getting stuck with over time, losing track of time and leaving her to sit alone at the restaurant for 2 hours.ย 
What was suppose to be a happy night was anything but and by 12:01am he was single. Bringing his cup to his lips heโ€™s ready to take a sip but stops when he hears a laugh heโ€™ll never forget.
The last thing Nanami kento expected to see at Gojoโ€™s party (that he basically tricked him into going to) was his ex girl from 4 years ago in a black mini silk dress that if you just bent over a tad bit moreโ€”
โ€œYou alright man?โ€ Gojo ask slapping his blonde hair friends back snapping him back to the reality where his cup of alcohol had been crushed completely in his hand.
He was sure of Two things in this moment. 1. His hand was wet and 2? He wasnt letting you get away again.
โ€œOh let me introduce you to my friend Miyoshi, shes an interior designer. Designed all my homes boring career so you two might actually have something in common since you like boring stuffโ€ Gojo insults while placing a napkin in his friends hand basically dragging him over to the woman through the crowd.
What? This was not at all how he planned on talking to you, what was he suppose to say? Would you even acknowledge him? Your curly fro had been straightened so it was now mid back with a slight red tint and he vaguely remember you saying a girl dyes her hair red when sheโ€™s over a man and thereโ€™s no chance for him ever again. Oh god you hated him. Was the room always this hot?
You turn around finally setting your eyes on the two of them and downing whatever was left in your cup.ย 
โ€œMiyoshi, meet my friend Nanami kento. Kento this is Miyoshiโ€ Gojo introduces and the air becomes thick with tension as you two awkwardly smile at another Nanami unable to keep your gaze on him.
Time passing by.
โ€œYoshโ€ Nanami breaks the silence at the same time she speaks โ€œnamiโ€. Old habits die hard, the nicknames from another pouring from their lips shocking Gojo.
โ€œYou two know each other?โ€ The white hair man ask which only confuses him more when you say no but he says yes.
He goes to ask the question neither of you wanted to answer but luckily is stopped by hearing the pur of his name from Geto who he waste no time following forgetting all about you two.ย 
โ€œCan i get you another drink? Im sorry about Gojo and bombarding you like thatโ€ Nanami ask nodding at your cup watching as you exhale glossed lips forming your usual slight pout.
You nod as he leads you by the small of your back to the bar his hand burning a imprint on your lower back and you're grateful when he moves it to toss the napkin in his other hand away.
โ€œStrawberry Lemon drop and a whiskey on the rocksโ€ he tells the bartender before quickly looking over at you dropping apologies.
โ€œSorry you probably dont even like that anymore, i shouldnt have assumed! Illโ€”โ€œ he starts ranting only for you to laugh, placing a hand on his forearm sitting on the stool.
โ€œStill as charming as ever, its still my favorite drinkโ€ you smile the nerves leaving your body but filling his to the brim. Why was he so nervous? Of course his stoic poker face never dropped once but that was how he was.
โ€œIts nothing, just wanna make sure youโ€™re taken care ofโ€ he speaks so easily before you could respond or even react The drinks are quickly placed in front of you.
You wanted to know what the hype was all about
โ€œSo how have you been?โ€ He ask downing half of his drink in one gulp. You follow suit licking the sugar off the rim unaware of how his eyes watchย  and his grip tightens slightly on his glass.
โ€œAre we really going to play this game kento? Fine. Ive been traveling exploring growing healing i finally quit the company and started my own business finding rich men like Gojo who have more money than they know what to do with and creating clients out of themโ€ you shrug sipping the drink watching him smileโ€ฆ somewhat proud.
โ€œCongratulations. Sorry if im pryingโ€”โ€œ Nanami finishes his drink only for you to cut him off.
โ€œNo!โ€ You say a bit louder than expected before clearing your throat. โ€œNo iโ€ฆ i just dont understand how you can sit here like everything endedโ€” like nothing happened and were just old friends catching upโ€ you ask confused, of course you wanted to talk to him 3 and ยฝ years with someone over in one night and now 4 years later here both of you are.
The nerves were back.
Then we fucked a little bit and I was out, Did not say bye
โ€œKento i broke up with you, fucked you one last time for my own closure and ghosted you in the middle of the night with no way of ever contacting me. Not my best momentโ€ you finally speak on the elephant in the room another round of drink places infront of you two.
โ€œCompliments of master satorouโ€ the bartender nods before attending to other guest leaving no time to protest.
โ€œI wouldve atleast like to remain friends but i understand.ย  You left with a bangโ€ฆ quite literallyโ€ he jokes trying to ease the tension showing off that jokester part of him that only youve seen.
And now for the word vomit , you couldnโ€™t even stop it if you wanted.
โ€œFriends? Our love was differentโ€ฆtoo strong for that. It was worth it,I would do it again.I know you hurt me,This is more than a friendshipโ€ you speak running over your finger your rim collecting sugar along the sides of your fresh acrylic nails.ย 
When you donโ€™t hear anything from him (honestly what are you expecting? You just admitted you loved him so much youd go through the heartbreak a second time just to experience that love again) you look up watching as he loosens his tie.
Fuck. โ€œSorryโ€
โ€œI made it awkwardโ€ which he chuckles at taking your jaw in his large hand forcing your eyes to look up at him. Your heart racing in your chest at the familiar contact
โ€œI miss youโ€he finally slips the stoic faรงade falling all his emotions on display for you to see and suddenly the room feels 10 degrees hotter.
โ€œIโ€” why did you let me do it?โ€ You ask and for a simple sentence it was so loaded. You can tell by the way the tips of his ears burn red.
โ€œThis isnt the place for that conversationโ€ he speaks finally letting go of your chin turning back towards his drink and you exhale he was right. The awkward tension was back and you despised it.
โ€œMy home is 10 minutes awayโ€ฆ we can really talk there if youd likeโ€ he suggest looking over his watch and i glance around at the party in full swing before back at him.
โ€œYeahโ€
When you two make it to his home you cant help the nostalgic grin. This was completely him, nothing out of place every color scheme matches because its all shades of white creme or beige. Everything looks super clean and super expensive.
โ€œWould you like anything to drink? Or eat?โ€ He ask heading to the kitchen after placing your coats on the rack.
โ€œWineโ€ฆ although ive probably drunk enoughโ€ you giggle taking a seat on the couch and he follows with two wine glasses and the bottle. But Nanami always had the best wine and knew the best pairings.
Downing the first cup you lick your lips until you feel his fingers brushing down hair with the rest. When you look over at him hes already stairing at youโ€ฆ admiring and its pure love. Everything starts to feel surreal and you really remember the last time you were with himโ€” alone.
Can we still love on each other?
โ€œDo you still love me?โ€ You ask curiously before you have time to even realize what youre saying and he doesnt even look phased.
โ€œDid you ever stop?โ€ He questions looking at you over his wine glass setting it back on the coffee table next to the bottle looking away to hide the look in his eyes. Sighing you rest your cup next to his, lip gloss staining the glass.
Can we still touch on eachother.
Reaching up to play with his tie being unkept from him fiddling with it you only loosen it further unbuttoning the top 3 buttons just like you did when you two were stillโ€” fuck.ย ย 
You freeze but that doesnt discourage him feeling the coolness of your hands through the shirt bringing his full attention to you and youve completely taken over all of his senses.ย 
Can we still not judgeย  each other?
You still never answered the question just focused on his tie and froze. He curses at himself.
I make it awkward.
โ€œIโ€ฆim still inlove with you kento, never stoppedโ€ you finally say looking up at him glossy eyes and thats all he needs leaning forward placing his lips on yours the taste of alcohol and cherry lip gloss makes him melt. He kisses you delicately, scared to scare you off and even if you regret it the taste of your lips one last time would get him through a lifetime of over time.
Its when you sigh and pull his bottom lip in between your teeth is when he decides he needs you and he needs your weight on him. Pulling you so youre straddling his lap his hands slowly roaming your body still scared of sudden movements scaring you and wanting to map out every curve of your body missing the way you felt. Getting so lost in your brown skin he almost looses his thought. The one thing he promised hed tell you if he ever seen you again.
I can not love everybody
And hes confessing like a sinner in church or a man on judgement day because you are everything holy and he was ready to admit.ย 
โ€œI could never be with anybody after you, no woman is youโ€
But you isn't anybody
โ€œYou took my heart with you when you left and only left a tiny piece left. And with that tiny piece all i could do is think about how much im in love with you. Want to be with you forever just us twoโ€ he breathes looking you dead in your eye so you know hes serious. Serious about you. Serious about this. Serious about yall.
You look at me different
You couldnt help but to see a different side of him. And not just the jokester side you seen earlier but a more mature Nanami Kento, a more considerate and loving Nanami kento. His lover boy era perhaps?! The heat pools inbetween your legs more than it had been all night as you two keep eye contact.
So I let you see my body
Pulling your dress over your head revealing the black lace matching panties and bra set he adjust in the seat.
โ€œProove itโ€
Body, body, body
โ€œYoure going to be the absolute death of me, im sure of itโ€ he admits his lips going to your neck trailing down the valley of your breast hands groping and squeezing them. His tongue licks over your cloth covered nipple pinching the other one causing a slight moan. Grabbing your hands to place on his shirt the signal to keep unbuttoning his hands go to your cheeks cupping as he begins kissing you harder tongue infiltrating your mouth.
And now we don't speak at all Now I regret it all
4 years without this? How could you? You were still absolutely positively madly in love with him. Missing him so much your lips dont disconnect at all even when he stands to walk toward his bedroom your fingers running through his hair at the nape of his neck pulling a soft moan from him. You donโ€™t register the movement until your back is being layed in the softness of his bed.
Still, it was worth it
I would do it again
His lips trail down the valley of your breast again making sure to savor the taste of your brown skin before his tongue swirls over your brown nipple listening to your soft pants. He switches over to the other one, your lace bra being unhooked in the front by his mouthโ€ฆ he always did have a talented mouth.ย ย 
His lips continue their assault until they reach your panties kissing your lips through the lace earning a shiver before his teeth are pulling your underwear off and damn what a sight.
You can feel him breathing over your core making you nervous wanting to close your legs unaware of the way hes using his photographic memory to remember how gorgeous you look right now.
โ€œKenโ€” mmphโ€ his tongue glides against your folds with ease and your sure hes thought about this often because the way his tongue is delicated over every spot that makes you tingle is driving you insane.ย 
โ€œMissed the way you taste sweetheartโ€ he indulges using his first two fingers to open up your slick folds giving him access to what he really wants. His tongue swirls around once, twice, three times before fully latching onto your clit pulling a loud whine from you.ย 
Music to his ears he wants to make you do it again, show you hes sorry, beg for another chance fuck he was on his knees face burried into your dripping cunt and nothing outside of the two of you mattered right now. Using those two fingers he presses into your core moaning as you squeeze your legs around his head the need to cum building up when he twist his fingers with a delicious curl.
โ€œK-kento iโ€ฆ im fuckโ€ you begin writhing under his mouth hands gripping at the sheets as he keeps a slow sensual pace making sure you feel the apology. But hes a selfish man, he thinks, because the minute you cum hes lapping up every drop yet still wont give you a second to recover. You deserved it.
His tongue replaces his fingers, fucking you as his thumb swirls around your clit watching every face of exstacy you make, the way the lights from the city shine through the room bouncing off the soft brown of your skin.ย 
He just wants one more only one and when your hands tangle in his blonde hair holding him in place forcing him to watch you fall apart on his tongue his dick twitches in his boxers precum spilling from the tip.
โ€œNANAMIโ€ you shout the highest pitch hes ever heard your voice before orgasming on his lips his movements never stopping as he pushes you into your third one of the night, he needed your taste engraved in his brainโ€ฆ and tongue. The sounds of your heavy breaths grabs his attention and he grins watching the heat of the room make your hair curl back up with a slight friz. Just the way he loved it.
Though hes shocked when you lurch forward pulling him by his cheeks to place an open mouth his tongue swirling around his mouth tasting yourself and a hint of alcohol.
Hes nervous when you pull back, afraid you may regret it and be ready to walk out until your trembling fingers push his unbuttoned shirt off over the planes of his muscles taking your time feeling them even when his shirt falls to the floor.ย 
Next is his belt buckle and he feels like hes shaking from anticipation watching you do this. He cant help himself and leans back in for another kiss your lipgloss long gone. Sliding everything off in one push your eyes widen at his length thats dripping precum in a way youve never seen before that makes you lick your lips wanting to get every drop but he leans forward pulling your chin up to him.
โ€œMaybe later love,โ€ and the nickname hurts. He always called you that after being away on a long business trip or extremely long nights at work when he strolled in after midnight.
He grabs his thick length pumping a few times before lining it up with your core and the air is thick again. With anticipationโ€ฆ
Longingโ€ฆ
Needโ€ฆ
Unspoken apologiesโ€ฆ
I know you hurt me, but
But this is deeper than friendship now
Nodding giving him the okay he slides in making youย  gasp and he captures your lips in a groan the burn of him stretching you out as his dick slides in is welcomed. Its like your walls were made just for him. Though you dont expect the string of apologies he begins letting out and tears prick your eyes as you pull him close one hand on his spine the other tangled in his hair.
Let's keep it awkward
He doesnt move for a second and you understand the hesitation. You knew what this meant. He just needed a little motivation.
I think we're ready for it, yeah, mmh
Squeezing you core he groans sending a sharp thrust into you burrying his face in your shoulder. He slowly pulls back just to the tip sliding back in with the same sharp thrust releasing a grunt before picking up your thigh pressing it against your chest. The gasp leaves your mouth as you struggle to think straight nails digging into his back pulling him closer. It seems your claws in his back does nothing but turn him on more.
His lips begin kissing down your neck sucking and leaving a trail of hickeys because even if he couldnt have you past tonight he would leave his mark and let it be known you were his until they stop on your breast. His tongue laps at your perky nipples sucking until he pulls a delicious moan from you and your hands find his hair again. He loved when you pulled it and kept it long enough for you to get a grip but short enough so it wasnt always in his eyes.
โ€œK-kentoโ€ you stutter breathlessly your legs shaking as the first orgasm from his dick rips through you yet he shows no signs of stopping or slowing down. Just keeps fucking you through it.
Well this was a different level of deepness.
โ€œFuck i love youโ€ he grunts again with slow powerful strokes making sure his pelvis hits yours every time as his hands trace the outline of your body squeezing whereever he can. His lips meet yours once more in a sloppy kiss as he drops more weight on you to keep you in place. The only sounds are a combination of your moans and the wet slapping sounds. A particular thrust of his hips makes you feel like heโ€™s digging you out and your back arches off the bed only for his body to press into you.
โ€œFuck, tell me how good it feels sweetheartโ€ he practically begs but youre still trying to catch your breath from the first orgasm making him release your nipple and come back to your shoulder peppering it with kisses. โ€œTell me how much you missed thisโ€ฆusโ€ he adds before snaking a arm down between the both of you and finding your clit.
โ€œN-nanโ€ฆ shitโ€ฆ namiโ€ your words are broken and you cant even keep your eyes focused on one spot and he grins into your neck at his name rolling off your tongue acknowledging where the nickname from earlier came from. His thumb goes at a sensualy slow place but the pressure hes applying has your legs locking up behind his back and he delivers the final blow.
Pulling your chin down to find your eyes and he smiles wholesomely with a wicked glint in his eyes making you give him complete eye contact unable to move.ย 
โ€œCum with meโ€ he begs and demands all at once his thrust a bit sporadic and loosing rhythym as the speed on your clit pics up as well the coil building in you before finally snapping and your gushing all over him as ropes of his load shoot into you consequences be damned. He collapses next to you pulling your body ontop of his chest rapidly rising and falling. You two are silent, a comfortable one before he extends his arm rumaging in the drawer next to his bed and you close your eyes fighting the sleep.ย 
You open your eyes once more when you feel him wrapping a scarf around your hair that had completely curled back up due to the heat and sweat from your bodies. Your only response is toย  smile and place a kiss on his chest which he chuckles at and places a kiss on your forehead tracing his fingers up andย  down your spine
Let's keep it awkward
Waking up to the sound of the keyboard you yawn rubbing your eyes to see a glass of water and 2 tylenol on the night stand infront of you. The realization dawns on you of where your at but how could you forget you knew that scent of detergent, the cozyness of the sheets and the fact that this was your side of the bed because the vent was next to it meaning youd be getting all the heat firstโ€ฆ this was your ex boyfriend Nanami kentos bedroom and you were completely naked except for the pale blue sheet covering your lower half.
It may seem silly but the sound of the keyboard brought tears to your eyes, all the hard work you did on healing. No amount of sza, jhene aiko nor beyonces lemonade album would get you through this one because you knew what it was and allowed it. Nanami was a workaholicโ€” the exact reason for your split. Dates postponed with no exact date, romantic evenings cut short, sleeping alone for several nights as the computer held his attentionโ€ฆ What hurt the most was being stood up on your anniversary.ย ย 
Slowly rising up you rub your eyes and begin looking for you clothes ready to make your great escape.
โ€œGood morning sweetheart howd you sleep?โ€ He ask the audacity to even call you sweetheart as if everything was back to when you two were still in a relationship makes your heart clench with pain. When you donโ€™t respond the sound of the keyboard stops and you feel the bed shift flinching before he can touch you.
โ€œNo i know that look youre going to run, just like last timeโ€ he speaks in such a timbre that steals your breath knowing your causing him pain. โ€œIf all you wanted was a quick fuck youโ€”โ€œ he begins to say and you scoff finally looking at him eyes set ablaze.
โ€œHow fucking dare you?! Thats all i was to you Kento! A quick fuck to burn through your stress and then right back to your silly little papers and projects and work. You were always drowning yourself in work so deep that i had to convince myself you actually didnt hate me! All you do is work and when youre not working youre picking up overtime. You placed your job over me countless times! The only time you thought about me was to reschedule what we had plannedโ€ฆ. 14 date nights and a anniversary kento! FOURTEEN!โ€ You finally yell feeling a weight lift off your shoulders at the speach you rehearsed 3 dozen times in the mirror.
His shoulder slump as his lips form a line looking for the right words to say. What could he say he was over the moon waking up next to you in bed and now he felt disgusted with himself. Nothing was worse than the regret on your face.
You begin looking for your clothes again and that sets him into action he shuffles off the bed pulling you into his arms your head against his chest his heartbeat racing.
โ€œIm sorryโ€ released the flood gate of tears youd been holding back as if he knew he holds you tighter and sighs.
โ€œIm sorry for neglecting you, im sorry for not putting you on the pedestal you deserve to be on, im sorry for anytime ive ever made you question my love for you, im sorry for all the dissapointments and most of all im sorry for waiting this long. Im an idiot and every day without you was hell i thought what i would do differently if i had the chance once more and iโ€”โ€œ he stops sitting down on the bed so he could pull your eyes to his covered by his thick framed glasses.
โ€œKarma is beating my ass with cursed energy because for every day we werent together all i could think about was every time i canceled and how i wish i could just have 1 night, id make it all rightโ€ he confesses with wide eyes wiping your tears away with his thumbs.ย 
Your eyes flicker to his laptop and he follows before showing me the screen and thereโ€™s about 6 tabs open. His email, flights, hotels, car rentals and clothing stores.
I know I'm ready for it, you feel me?
โ€œI was telling my boss im taking the next month off 14 dates is alot of time sweetheartโ€ฆ 14 too many and i know. We always talking about escaping to malaysia, trying all the foods, shopping breakfast on the beach and dancing under the moonlight until 2am. Everythingโ€™s booked and i know youd need time to pack and get your hair done i already messaged your hairstylist who can see you in 4 hours hopefully after weโ€™ve had breakfast and agreed to the tripโ€ he pleads with hopeful eyes revealing his hand to show you, not just tell you how apologetic he was but to show you.
Your heart begins racing, palms sweaty and damn did this man have you weak in the knees! He was doing everything right, saying everything right and he looked so fine the way his boxers hugged his muscular frame and okay maybe a man with a plan turned you on anybody could say words but to put action behind itโ€ฆ And like this? Oh baby he really thought about it, kinda like you factory reset him.
โ€œHeres my card pay for whatever you need and a keyโ€ฆ to my placeโ€ you never really heard him stumble over his words before until now and his nervousness is showing in a boyish way youd never seen before who wouldve thought stone wall one expression Nanami kento here stumbling over you? โ€œSo what do you say?โ€
Can we still love on each other?
Can we still touch on each other?
Can we still not judge each other?
Soโ€ฆ what do you say?
