âItâs a lovely day, wouldnât you agree, Commander?â You muse, enjoying the sun's warm caress on your skin. Your question is directed to Clone Commander Fox, who trails a few steps behind you as you stroll through the Senate Gardens.
As a Senator, moments of peace and solitude are rare and precious and for you, itâs best spent admiring the diverse plant life. Though Commander Fox, your assigned protector, doesnât seem to share your enthusiasm.
âIt is, maâam,â he replies curtly, his lack of enthusiasm evident. You decide not to press him and continue your walk with a playful roll of your eyes.
Pausing by a bush adorned with tiny white flowers, you crouch carefully to avoid snagging your regal, albeit cumbersome, skirt. âThese are some of my favorites,â you say as Fox halts behind you. âLeucanthemum Vulgare.â
âIâm not familiar with it, maâam,â he responds, surprising you. Fox rarely speaks unless spoken to, but perhaps after weeks of close quarters, he feels inclined to converse back.
âJust daisies,â you chuckle, standing again. You notice Fox instinctively reaching out to assist you, only to quickly tuck his hands behind his back when you were fine.
Continuing your walk, your feet eventually tire, and you opt to sit on a nearby bench while Fox stands awkwardly beside you. âYou can sit with me, Commander,â you suggest, patting the space next to you.
âI appreciate the offer, but I must remain vigilant to protect you,â he replies, giving you a nod and you canât help but wonder what expression lies behind his helmet.
âI doubt anyone will attack me here,â you say, though Foxâs squared shoulders suggest otherwise. â...or do you know something I donât?â
He clears his throat and gazes down at you, his eyes meeting yours through the visor. âAll Senators are at risk, maâam. However⌠your advocacy for Clone rights has made you a target in certain political circles.â
You shrug. âIf they want to shoot me for it, so be it.â
âMaâam, please donât say that,â Fox winces, looking away and shaking his head. He seems to want to speak freely, but refrains.
âThank you for protecting me,â you say gently, shifting your gaze to the vibrant flowers that soothe your nerves. âI canât think of another Clone Iâd rather have by my side to appreciate these gardens.â
Fox tenses beside you. âY-youâre welcome,â he stammers, a rare but endearing lapse in his typical stoicism.
You both settle into a peaceful silence, though you wondered how Fox is faring. Often, you ponder whether he enjoys these quiet moments with you or would rather be back in his office. You recall the amusing sight of his brothers stuffing countless empty caf cups into a corner when you first visited him, and the strain in his voice and stiff body language betrayed his embarrassment over the discovery of his caf addiction.
You just hoped it wasnât because he was exhausted.
âSo,â you begin, snapping out of your worried thoughts, âyouâve walked with me in these gardens plenty of times now, Commander. Is there any particular plant, flower, or tree you like?â
Fox turns his head towards you, tilting it slightly, which you find unexpectedly adorable and you scold yourself mentally for thinking so.
âIâm afraid my answer will bore you.â
You give a wry smile. âIâm sorry, you probably have more important things to be doing, Iâm sure.â
âTaking care of you is the most important thing to me,â he says almost sternly. The way he says it sounds almost desperate, not just dutiful. Realising this, he adds, âas it is my current job.â
Clearing your throat, you turn your gaze away, hoping he doesnât notice the tips of your ears burning with a blush. âI see.â
He nods simply, but after a moment, he sighs slightly. âThere is, uh, one flower that catches my eye every time we come here actually.â
You look back at him, surprised. âReally? Which one?â
âItâs over there in the corner to the right.â He nods in the direction, and you stand, asking him to show you.
He hesitates for a moment, unsure if youâre serious. But judging by your smileâsomething he has grown rather fond ofâhe nods and leads the way.
You stop in front of a flower bed filled with a mix of pink, purple, white, and red flowersâtall and breathtaking, and quite familiar to you.
âI believe these are Digitalis purpurea,â you say, leaning forward to inhale their delicate fragrance with a soft smile. âI can see why you like them, come to think of it.â
He nods slightly, pleased to have a name for the flower, even if he wasn't going to try to pronounce it. âWhyâs that?â
âWell,â you say with a smirk as you turn to him, âitâs also more commonly known as âFoxglove.ââ
âOh, really?â he asks, genuinely curious, and you nod in confirmation.
âQuite the coincidence, don't you think?â you add, your eyes sparkling with amusement.
Fox seems taken aback, the irony not lost on him. âYes, quite the coincidence indeed.â His voice is softer, and there's a hint of a smile in his tone that you wholeheartedly wish you could see.
Fox admires the flowers once more before his eyes drift to the ground where a small bunch had been either knocked or blown off. He bends down and picks them up, then without thinking, holds them out to you. âWould you like these?â
Your mouth gapes open slightly, looking at the outstretched flowers and then at him. âOh,â you say pleasantly, reaching out and taking hold of the slightly battered and broken stems, âthank you, Commander.â
But you notice that he doesnât let go at first, instead focusing on the way your fingers brush against his. You feel your heart skip a beat as you both look at each other, neither of you willing to let go. This had to stop. This was completely inappropriate. But yetâŚ
âSenator, Commander Fox.â A voice interrupts you both, and you almost gasp as you quickly let go of the flowers and turn to see who has interrupted thisâif you could even call itâmoment.
âThorn,â Fox acknowledges, his attempt to sound composed betrayed by the heavy rise and fall of his chest.
âYou are both needed inside. I did try to comm you, but I, uh, mustâve not gotten the signal.â Thorn's tone carries a hint of amusement, and you feel a rush of nervousness and fluster. Did Fox feel the same awkwardness you did?
You glance at Fox, who gives a curt nod to Thorn. âUnderstood. Weâll head there immediately.â
As you walk back towards the Senate building, you can't help but replay the moment in your mind. The gentle brush of his fingers against yours, the intensity of his gaze behind his visorâit was so unlike the stoic Commander you had come to know.
âThank you, Commander,â you say softly once the two of you were alone again, glancing at the flowers in your hand. âFor the flowers.â
Fox nods, his voice steady but tone also softer than usual. âYouâre welcome.â
Later that day, you receive word that you are needed on a different planet for urgent Senate business. As you prepare to leave, you find yourself thinking about Fox and the moment you shared in the garden. An idea forms in your mind, and you act on it impulsively.
Before you depart, you make your way to Foxâs office. It's empty, as he's likely out on duty. You place the flowers on his desk, arranging them neatly. Beside the flowers, you leave a small note:
âHopefully you will protect these like you protected me until I come back, Fox.â
And signed with your name. Not just Senator.
With one last glance around the room, amused to see his caf cups still there, you quietly slip out.
When Fox returned to his office that evening, confused with the days events and how he was feeling about you, he never realised he would experience missing someone. Yet as he reads the note you left and looks at the flowers, he does something strange. He pushes his steaming caf to the side and instead, lets the memory of you and the scent of the Foxgloves relax him.
He would not tell the others, but he could not wait for another stroll in the gardens with you.
Have a nice day, Monica! đ¸How are you feeling? Do you sleep better or are you worried about insomnia?
I have a question for you: what are your favorite interviews with JimmySea? Can you make a top?
I like their interviews, where the boys tell something special about their character, about hobbies outside the set or about their family. But I think the most favorite interview is Mint Hang Out. Very beautiful bright cafe, delicious dishes, Jimmy and Sea in flirting mode, and Jimmy, who did not come out of the image of Puen, because there were shootings the day before, and driving everyone crazy with gentle looks.
Take care of yourself!đ¸
hello, dear anon!!!! đ
this is such a sweet message and thatâs also a very interesting question!!! unfortunately im not the best at keeping track with interviews and events, so im probably going to miss some major one, but im going to try to make a small list of my favorites anyway!!!
praew magazine Q&A. YOU WILL NEVER GET ME TO ADMIT HOW MANY TIMES IâVE REWATCHED THIS INTERVIEW JUST KNOW I WOULD HAVE ORDERLIES AT MY DOOR READY TO DRAG ME INTO A PADDED ROOM IF I ADMITTED IT OUT LOUD. im not sure why i like it so much tbh, maybe because itâs a recent one and you can really see how much more comfortable they are in front of the camera and with each other, especially sea. my favorite part is how after the 15th time sea touched jimmyâs leg in the span of 3 minutes even the editor of the video was like if im forced to bare witness to things not even god could withstand then so are yâall [zooms in]
mint hang out vlog. jimmy truly be having some residual method acting left in his system with how ridiculously FOND he looks throughout the entire video. the only reason it doesn't get first place to me is because technically this isnât exactly an interview but more of a vlog, as the title says, however since i love it and the ACTUAL interview doesnât have any subs (if anyone asks this is my villain origin story btw) iâve decided that i donât care and that im gonna add it to the list anyway. ALSO THIS PERFECTLY SHOWS WHY WE NEED A JIMMYSEA EATING PROGRAM @ GMMTV LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!
our skyy vice versa interview. LISTEN i know it doesn't have any subs so it's not fully accessible to international fans, however it deserved a place here even just for THEE HUGâ˘, i know it was for a challenge but sea clearly didn't expect it and you can tell he is SO DELIGHTED by it AND SO AM I OKAY IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU I AM ONLY HUMAN. also even if you don't know what they're talking about the vibes are just so immaculate and unmatched i would listen to them FOR HOURS
open the world interview. im so very fond of this one because i feel like it's a very good starting point to get to know them. sea is still very shy here, but you learn a lot of things that if you follow them for a while you find out are true: that behind the scenes sea is clingy and determined, that jimmy is always there to guide him, that the way they express their love (even the platonic kind) is by supporting and taking care of the other person, that they do end up spending time together swimming and singing and wakeboarding......
let's talk BL podcast. i knew i could trust them with my life when they were asked which was their favorite vice versa episode and jimmy replied that it was episode 10 (because he is so proud of himself for the derangement he unleashed upon us) while sea eventually picked episode 11 (because he is a man of culture) TRULY KINGS OF TASTE VISION AND CORRECT OPINIONS ONLY!!!!!!! honestly it's just a great interview all-around and i always love how both jimmy and sea try their best in everything they do
i wish i could add more but sadly all the other ones that come to mind (like the oishi magic of zero episode with milklove and the jd's birthday party live with earthmix) don't have any subs ;;;;;; let's hope we're gonna get a lot more when last twilight finally airs!!!!!
I wonder if people realise how hard it is to leave your family for 280 days a year for 7 years straight as well. She mustâve gotten a beautiful new opportunity and is chasing her dreams, but itâs also understandable if she just quit because she wanted to spend more time with family. She was always more than just Lewisâs physiođ
definitely! she not only needed to stay motivated and perform at the highest capacity, she had to motivate and push lewis to do the same. and she did such a great job all through these years. she has been such a comfort person even for the fans too! she'll do great wherever she lands i'm sure
madmax.jpg Gelukkige Verjaardag, Y/n đ geniet van uw speciale dag! We've had our ups and downs but I'm overall happy that you're my little sister

username1 THE 5TH PIC
oscarpiastri Never expected to see Lando so in love
âły/n_verstappen Honestly I don't think he expected that himself
oscarpiastri Happy birthday, thank you for taking care of Lando!
landonorris taking care of me?
oscarpiastri Yeah! You're so different now. I guess you're finally an adult. Which now is kind of weird that I'm saying this on Y/n's bday but whatever
username1 Awwwwhhhh mr I don't wanna mature I'm happy where I am has finally matured!
y/n_verstappen All I'm doing is trying to keep him from getting too silly, but thanks for the credit!

y/n_verstappen Petition for Max to let you win this weekend since it's MY BIRTHDAY @/maxverstappen1
âłmaxverstappen1 The day Lando wins I'm allowing you to get married
y/n_verstappen Pls just let him win this once
maxverstappen1 If he were fast enough he would've won
lando.jpg that's how you speak about your brother in law?
maxverstappen1 And I'd do it again
username3 I'm crying why are both Y/n and Max so aggressive
username4 That's just the Verstappen genes đ¤ˇââď¸
username5 Don't tell me Max saw pics nr 4, 5 and 6 and didn't say anything
âły/n_verstappen He chose to ignore them đ better for him I guess
riabish You make such a great couple đ
âły/n_verstappen I know right đ
riabish Anyway girls night when?
y/n_verstappen As soon as possible I guess?!?!
username6 Y/n is precious and needs to be protected at all cost
username7 I've never seen a man as in love with their gf as Lando is with Y/n

charles_leclerc And this time Lando didn't break Max's thropy đđ
âłcarlossainz55 That would be too risky now that he's dating his sister đ
landonorris You promised Max would let me win âšď¸
âły/n_verstappen I did not! You saw I had a talk with him but it didn't work out
francisca.cgomes Is that what you used your birthday wish for?
âły/n_verstappen It just might be đ¤
username1 Should've used it for a Lando win đ
y/n_verstappen I guess nothing can stop Max đ¤ˇââď¸
username2 I love seeing them both getting along đĽş
username3 Let's go Lando Lando it's okay
âłusername4 Let's go Lando he is here to stay
username5 Let's go Lando he is one of us
y/n_verstappen He's racing like a lion shouldn't he be Dutch
username3 OMG Y/N FINISHING THE LYRICS
y/n_verstappen GIRL I love this song đ AND THE PODIUM SONG
username6 So happy to know Max isn't angry anymore đ
âły/n_verstappen He's... Dealing with it. We're still not allowed too much PDA around him
username7 The way people chanted Lando when the Dutch national anthem was playing lmao
âłusername8 Am I delusional or was Max also mouthing the chant?
username7 HE WAS!! And Y/n in the crowd too!!
username8 Damn even the Verstappens are bored of their own anthem
username9 Y/n you looked stunning in the paddock this weekend!
âły/n_verstappen Thank you I'm gonna blush đ¤
username10 So when are you getting married?
âłusername2 Max said when Lando wins, a podium is not a win đ
username10 That's a never I guess đ or at least not for as long as Max is in F1
username11 Y/n is a fangirl just like us
âłusername12 Hard to not be when your brother and your boyfriend are both F1 drivers
username13 I wonder if Lando has ever talked to Jos?
âłusername14 I don't think even Y/n is on speaking terms with Jos? She seems to avoid him
username5 Yeah, I've heard Jos tried to fix the relationship with his daughter but Y/n doesn't want it
username14 Queen behavior tbh
username12 Not really queen behavior. If not Jos, Max wouldn't win a single championship
username14 I'm sure abusing helped build up his career
username12 What abusing? Jos is a strict father, not a psycho
username14 "My father once stabbed a mechanic's hand with a fork đ" and don't even get me started on Jos leaving Max alone at a gas station
alex_albon Look at the 5th photo!
âłcharles_leclerc They're so cute together aren't they?
landonorris I think you meant the 4th?
alex_albon Nope đ pretty sure I meant the 5th
y/n_verstappen Lando and Max together are precious đŤś
username15 now... do we call them Maxando or Lax?
âły/n_verstappen I vote for Maxandođď¸
landonorris yeah lol Lax sounds like short for laxative
y/n_verstappen I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty two

maxfewtrell That's so cringe
alex_albon @/carlossainz55 what have you done đŠ
carlossainz55 I'm proud of what I've done, I think their cringe is adorable
username3 So it was Carlos who played matchmaker between Y/n and Lando!
yourfriend1 I'll never thank Carlos enough, Y/n is so happy with Lando đ
username2 I guess all we can do is be happy for them, even if they're cringy sometimes
username5 Oh look, Jos claimed to be trying to fix his family issues and yet he never wished Y/n a happy birthday, I didn't see him comment anywhere
âłusername2 Are we surprised tho? Disappointed maybe, but surprised? Nope
âły/n_verstappen Hey, the daddy issues made me a cool person. And also made Max a 3 times world champion which is also nice, but I guess I was more lucky here
username2 I LOVE YOU GIRL đđŤś
maxverstappen1 Soon 4 times
y/n_verstappen You know even you're bored of it
maxverstappen1 Papa didn't raise no bitch
y/n_verstappen I know that, Max, I know...

âłmaxverstappen1 That's not a world champion mindsetđ
y/n_verstappen Shut up for once and let him win!!!
maxverstappen1 If he wants to win he has to fight for it!!!
y/n_verstappen He's trying!!!
maxverstappen1 Apparently not hard enough
username1 Imagine being such a bad driver your gf has to beg her brother to let you win
username2 What? It's all jokes, you gotta be stupid to think they're being for real in these comments
oscarpiastri Lando should start wearing orange bows more often
âły/n_verstappen I know right?! He looks so babygirl
landonorris can you not? that's enough that I let you post that last picture
oscarpiastri Calm down mate, the anger takes away your beauty đĽş
username3 Why's everyone making fun of Lando here?đ
carlossainz55 Didn't know you're such a talented photographer đ¸
âłlandonorris I could've taught her a thing or twođ
y/n_verstappen Wow, you were so quick to comment huh

âły/n_verstappen He thinks he made soooo much progress, but that's a lie
landonorris Ik heet Lando :) ik hou van Y/n <3
y/n_verstappen Good! That's literally the basics!
username6 Isn't that really all he needs to know?đĽ°
y/n_verstappen Let's say it's alright for now đ
charles_leclerc You teaching dutch to Lando reminds me of Arthur and I teaching you frenchđ
âły/n_verstappen Except I'm a quicker learner
landonorris and somehow I've never heard you speak french đ¤
charles_leclerc She's traumatized âšď¸
y/n_verstappen Yes I am âšď¸ learning french in school was a nightmare and the Leclercs made me experience it again, it was lovely
charles_leclerc You're welcome đ
landonorris now I understand it all, she's projecting her trauma onto me now
maxverstappen1 She's an evil woman isn't she?
landonorris the most evil, definitely
username7 HELP ME GUYS I've imagined Y/n teaching Lando dutch with the same passion Jos pushed Max into driving đ it's way too funny in my head
âłusername6 Great! In a few years Lando should be fluent then! đ
âłusername8 Y/n is her father's daughter after all đ
username9 Guys, remember the time Max corrected a french guy to "bonsoir" when he said bonjour? đ
âłusername6 bonsoir âď¸đ¤

Part 2 PLEASE, SIR || MASTERLIST
*****
Itâs late. Exhausted after a long work day, Joel is sitting on the couch with a bottle of beer in his hand. Heâs mindlessly flipping through channels, taking a sip of the warm alcohol from time to time.
The dark room is lit only by the TV and his pupils jump every time the screen goes black and then explodes with another picture.
A movie catches his attention and he stops pushing the button on the remote control. âAmerican Beautyâ. Heâs seen it a couple of times, years ago.
He watches a little and then changes the channel. While his eyes are set on an old infomercial, his thoughts wander back to the movie. The iconic scene flashes in his mind - a beautiful girl is lying naked, surrounded by a myriad of red rose petals. Joel chuckles at the irony of him stumbling on that movie but drives the worrying thoughts away. Heâs too tired for this.
Soon the exhaustion and the alcohol in his blood take their toll and his eyes close by themselves.
When they open, he sees you. Sarahâs college friend, who is staying with them this spring break. When Sarah asked him if you could crash with them for a few days, he didnât mind. He was glad that she would have a friend to have fun with.
But the moment he saw you, he knew that he was fucked. When you smiled at him the first time, he blushed like a teenager. You were a knockout beauty. Your voice was the hottest thing heâs ever heard. Your body made his cock twitch every time he laid eyes on you and your sexy crop tops, daisy dukes and bikinis didnât help. Be damned Austin and its hot weather!
Itâs not surprising that heâs dreaming about you now. Itâs fucked up but hey, itâs just a dream.
As if his mind is mocking him, he sees you completely naked, while only crimson rose petals are covering your breasts and pussy as well as every inch around you. Some of them are floating around, swirling, dancing in the air.
You look perfect, lying there like an offering to him and he craves to see more. All of you. So he blows on the petals on your chest and they fly away in slow motion, revealing your beautiful breasts. You moan when the soft flowers graze your hardened nipples, and the sound makes Joelâs cock throb with need.
Can he touch you? As soon as this thought crosses his mind he sees his hand splayed on your sternum. He swears he can feel your heartbeat under his calloused palm. He glides his hand to your breast and kneads it. Your lips open and he hears your needy whimper.
He wants to tell you, âyes, baby, Iâll make you feel good soon, so soon,â but his mouth is silent. Heâll have to show you then.
His gaze travels lower, to the heaven of your body, covered by the red petals. He glances up and sees your almost pained expression. Oh how you want his fat cock! âIâll give it to you good, baby, donât you worry. Spread your legs for me.â His wordless wish is your command and your legs part oh so slowly, while heâs holding his breath in anticipation.
In front of his lustful eyes, your pussy blooms for him, still mostly hidden by the flowers.
âLet me seeâ, he wishes, âLet me in.â
He carefully picks one petal off your mound and throws it away. You pleasantly surprise him when you lift your legs, and holding your knees with your hands, open your thighs wide for him.
âGood girl,â he thinks.
In a second his mouth is hovering over your pussy, and the sweet scent of your arousal makes his head spin. He darts his tongue out and presses it to the petal on the crease of your thigh. It sticks and he glides his tongue over it, before taking it out of his mouth with his fingers.
He does the same with another petal, which rests right on your clit. You moan when his hot tongue grazes your bud.
He picks the petals one after another with his mouth, lips, tongue, slowly and deliberately, almost edging you and himself in the process but he canât help it. He wants to prolong this pleasant moment.
When all the petals are gone, his eyes feast on the sight of your bare cunt in front of him, glistening, crying for his attention. He lowers his face and his mouth latches onto your waiting pussy. The taste, the feel of you make his whole body tremble, his cock aches, desperate to be touched, and the sensation is so strong, he immediately wakes up.
Heâs panting heavily, eyes darting around the dark room, his mind slowly coming back to reality.
The TV is still on, illuminating his surroundings, and he sees a wet spot on his jeans. His bulge is huge and his cock is pulsating under the confines of the clothes. He needs to jerk off.
Joel listens to the sounds upstairs but hears nothing. You and Sarah must be already sleeping. He contemplates turning on porn but stops himself. He can just remember what he saw a few seconds ago. It was so fucking hot and looked real.
So he unzips his jeans and pulls his throbbing cock out of his wet boxers. Itâs big and hard, ready to explode from the slightest touch.
He holds it at the base, rests his head back against the couch and shuts his eyes. The image of you splayed naked, surrounded by roses, comes back to his mind and he begins slowly stroking his cock. He brings back the memory of his mouth on your pussy, him sucking, licking your soaked hole, gathering your arousal with the tip of his tongue and drinking your juices.
Joel is close and he wants to come inside you. If only in his fantasy. He forms his thumb and index finger into a small circle and brings them to the tip of his cock. Imitating your tight pussy, he slowly pushes the head through the opening between his fingers and moans your name, followed by âOh, baby.â
âMr Miller?â
Joelâs heart plummets into his stomach when he hears your soft voice, coming from the hall. To his horror, he sees you standing in the doorway. Heâs not sure if you saw him or what he was doing at that angle, but his heart is pounding in his chest. He roughly tucks his hard cock back into the jeans, hissing in pain, grabs his plaid shirt off the side of the couch and covers his tent.
â âs late. Go to bed, sweetheart,â he throws in your direction, almost out of the room, but your hand on his biceps stops him in his tracks.
âMr Miller?â
His head whips your way,
âIf ya need anythinâ, just ask Sarah. Iâm headinâ to bed.â He takes a step out and you say,
âDonât I get to enjoy it?â
He freezes and looks back at you.
âEnjoy what?â
âThat,â you point at his crotch with your chin, âYour boner. I heard you say my name so⌠I guess you should thank me for it.â
He gawks at you at first, not believing his own ears, but then his gaze narrows and slides from your face down your body. Itâs like heâs seeing you for the first time just now.
A smirk tugs at his lips.
âOh, youâre a slut?â
It comes out as half a question-half a statement and you reply with a smile, âI wouldnât put it like that, Mr Miller.â
He turns to you, dropping his hands, not hiding his huge tent anymore, and you stare at it shamelessly, biting your lip at the sight.
âAnd how would you put it? Cos ya surely sound like one,â he says, coming up close to you. His eyes slide up and down your body, taking in your hardened nipples under a soft tee, tiny sleeping shorts, barely covering anything. Your big doe eyes are staring up at him as you purr,
âI just take what I want. Whoever I want.â
âYeah, thatâs a slut. Maybe I donât like sluts,â he growls, taking a step and caging you against the doorframe. He doesnât touch you but the arousal oozing from the both of you electrifies the air.
âYour hard-on says otherwise,â you retort and he takes a sharp breath. âLet me help you with it, Mr Miller.â
You say his name in a sultry voice, and a shiver goes down his spine. Fuck, he needs to come soon or heâll bust a load in his pants.
Joel shifts his jaw in thought, staring at you. You lick your lower lip, looking crazy hot, and the decision is made. By his head or his cock, doesnât matter.. .You gave him this raging boner so youâll have to deal with it now. Morals be damned.
Joel walks to the couch and plops down with a grunt. He manspreads and you come up to him.
âI ainât fuckinâ you, girl,â he grunts, looking up at you from under his brows. Faking a shy smile, you kneel between his legs on the floor. The sight of you standing on your knees, so obedient to him, makes his cock leak precum.
âCan I suck your cock, daddy?â
âFuck no, no daddies,â he growls, furrowing his brows at you.
You pout your lips in thought, scratching his jean-clad thighs with your nails.
âMr Miller?â
He smiles. âMuch better.â
âSir?â
âOh, fuck, yeah,â his cock practically vibrates when you call him that.
âMr Miller it is then,â you smirk and unzip his jeans.
He lets you pull down his jeans and boxers to his mid thigh while heâs watching you, his big arm resting on the headrest of the couch, the other hand on his naked thigh.
The moment your fingers touch his stiff length, Joel curses and starts breathing heavily. He tries to keep his cool, but itâs almost impossible.
Your hand wraps around the base of his cock, that is standing at attention, red angry tip glistening with precum.
âWow,â you breathe out, and he notices a trace of fear in your expression.
â âs right. Think twice before you take on the task, baby.â
Baby. That word does something to you, he sees it. You squirm between his legs, blown eyes set on his twitching cock.
You take a deep breath, collecting yourself, and lower your head. All his muscles tense up as he anticipates the feeling of your warm mouth on his cock, but you freeze midway and glance up at him, beautiful eyes glinting in the darkness of the room.
âWas I a good girl in your fantasy?â
He bucks his hips in need and replies, âVery good girl.â
His tormenting mind brings back the images of you in the sea of red roses and a clear drop of precum beads on his slit.
You smile and murmur, âLetâs see if I can do better than her.â
With that, you lick off the arousal of his fat head and he moans at the sensation.
You start taking him in slowly but confidently, pressing your hot tongue to the underside of his shaft. Your hand is cupping his heavy balls, gently massaging them. Youâre already drooling around him and he thinks, thatâs what heaven feels like.
âWhat a nice sloppy mouth youâve got there, little slut.â
His harsh praise makes you moan around his cock. You start bobbing your head, your mouth moving up and down his length rhythmically. Joel shuts his eyes, as the image of you working his cock adds to the ecstasy and pushes him towards the edge faster and faster. He canât come so soon. He wants himself forever buried in your sloppy warm mouth. Or in your tight wet cunt. Fuck, why is he doing it to himself?
His balls get tight and move in your palm, and your mouth leaves his cock.
âDonât come yet. I want it on my pussy.â
âI said I ainât fucking ya,â Joel growls, clenching his teeth.
âI said on my pussy,â you roll your eyes and add, âThink of a dead dog or something.â
You fucking wink at him and get back to sucking his poor cock.
Your lips and tongue are massaging every inch of his length and Joel closes his eyes again, hastily trying to find something in his mind that can stop him from squirting his hot cum down your throat.
His truck needs an oil change, yeah, heâll deal with it tomorrow. It helps for a second but then he pictures you all oiled up and glistening. This very moment your face nuzzles his lower belly as you take him so deep in your throat, he feels you swallowing around him.
Joel opens his eyes and sees tears roll down your cheeks, your lips wrapped around the base of his member, your eyes empty and full of lust.
He quickly grabs you by the hair and pulls you off his cock, trying not to hurt you. You whine and he hisses,
âShitâŚgonna come.â
âOn my pussy, please, please!â
Joel groans and grabs you by the arm, lifting you on your feet. He tosses you on the couch, takes off your shorts and snarls, â âcourse, no panties, little slut.â
He kneels between your legs, his hand braced on the headrest, the other wrapped around his ready-to explode cock.
âShow me your kitty, baby.â
âOh, so is it âslutâ or âbabyâ, Mr Miller?â You purr, pouting your lips, but spread your thighs nonetheless.
âRight now youâre a fuckinâ brat,â he snaps and you smile, pulling your knees to your chest, just like in his dream. You lift your shirt, offering your breasts for his view as your hand darts to your pussy to spread your folds with your fingers, so he could paint every inch of you.
He points the tip at your soaked cunt, pumps his cock once, twice and the first jet of his cum shoots and lands right on your clit. You whimper into the back of your hand and your fingers get to work, swirling your bud, using his cum as lube. Joel doesnât tear his eyes off the sight, milking his pulsating cock and giving you more, more, coating your pussy with a thick layer of his creamy load.
Youâre wriggling under him, your nipples hard, belly heaving and when one more squirt hits your clit, you come, silently screaming and squeezing your eyes shut in euphoria. Joel sees your hole clench around nothing, and regrets not fucking your little pussy.
Heâs panting, hovering over you, drinking you in and trying to memorize every little detail for his spank bank, while waves of pleasure hit you again and again, your body shaking and trembling.
âOh, sir,â you whimper and he smiles triumphantly.
When your climax subsides, Joel goes to the bathroom. As heâs soaking a towel with warm water, he stares at himself in the mirror. His hair is tousled, face flushed. The realization of what heâs just done slowly sinks in and he curses at the reflection, âFuckinâ dumbass.â
He returns and hands you the towel. You sit up and start wiping his cum off.
âDonât worry, I wonât tell Sarah. Or anyone else,â you say, looking up at him.
Joel nods, and his hand darts to touch your face but he stops himself. You get up and grab your soaked shorts off the floor before turning to him.
âHow about we watch a movie tomorrow, Mr Miller?â You ask, coming up to him with a gorgeous smile on your lips that makes him blush. âSame time, just you and me?â
Joelâs looking into your eyes, fruitlessly trying to hide his infatuation with you, and his hand rises to your face. He gently brushes your lower lip with his thumb and mumbles bitterly, âThink I know what movie to pick.â
Your face lights up and you purr with a wink, âCanât wait to not watch it with you. Sweet dreams, daddy.â
Joel grunts disapprovingly and slaps your naked ass, when you turn to leave. You gasp, looking back at him, and bite your lip.
Before going upstairs, you give him a charming smile and he takes a deep breath.
Yeah, heâs fucked.

Wings of Desire
Azriel x Reader
Sent on mission by Tarquin to work with the Night Court on joining your armies with the Illyrians, Rhysand had allowed you to visit the camps with his spymaster. After a long day of observing training, the both of you flew to where you would be staying while in Illyria. You followed Azriel, landing in front of a small cabin on the far northern border of Prythian. You werenât even sure if you were still on the continent anymore, shivering at the cold unlike that which youâd ever experienced.
Born in the Summer Court, the heavy snow during Night Court winters was unfamiliar to you, and made flying difficult. Unlike the Illyriansâ wings, which were bare and ideal for flight in freezing temperatures, the delicate feathers of your bone white wings abhorred the cold.Â
The stiffness in your wings spread throughout your body, teeth chattering as you forced your legs through the snow to the open door Azriel held for you, an amused smile playing on his lips. Cauldron, those beautiful lips. Your eyes trailed from those lips, down his body as the spymaster heaved in breaths. You were glad to see you werenât the only one tired from the flight.
As soon as you made it through the doorway, heat seeped into you, a deep comfort settling over your bones. You turned to Azriel, that same smile tugging at his mouth as he seemingly read your thoughts. âMagic. Rhys keeps the place a comfortable temperature, so itâs warm even in the winter.â Enchanted by the unexpected comforts of the cozy cabin, you walked into the kitchen area, taking in the surroundings.Â
All of the walls of the cabin were painted, five sets of eyes lining the hallway at the top of the stairs. You scowled at the silvery eyes that seemed to follow you, wings twitching behind you at the uncomfortable feeling, until you reached a familiar set of hazel eyes at the end. A soft smile graced your features, suddenly feeling safe under the watchful eye of Azriel.Â
You turned to question the spymaster about the artwork when a cup of hot chocolate appeared on the counter in front of you. Gasping, you jumped back and collided with the shadowsinger. A rare, soft laugh escaped his lips, and you felt as though you might melt at the sound. Scarred hands gently grabbed your arms, helping stand you upright as he leaned over you and grabbed the cup to place in your hands. âThe cabin is sentient, so it will supply you with whatever you ask, within reason. Or whatever it thinks you need... In this case, hot chocolate.âÂ
You blushed, taking a sip of the warm drink and moaned at the rich taste. Azrielâs eyes were dark as he watched you lick the chocolate from your lips, the spymaster clearing his throat as he quickly looked away from you. Your wings shuddered at his attention, and a wince left you at the movement of the sore muscles beneath.Â
Shadows curled around Azrielâs own wings, smokey wisps circling his ear as he studied your feathers. âThe house will run a bath for you, so you can clean and warm your wings if you wish. Second door on the left.â Almost too distracted by the alluring darkness swirling in front of you, it took a moment to register what Azriel was saying. âOh, yes. Thank you, Az,â you murmured, setting down the cup as you turned to make your way upstairs for a much needed bath.Â
Entering the room, you found a spacious bed - something unusual in your court, as most there did not have wings. But you supposed it was a necessity with the large Illyrians who often stayed here - Azriel in particular had the largest set of wings you had seen on anyone.Â
Stripping down, you padded into the bathroom where dim faelights lit the area. A bath was already filled, lavender aromas drifting from the steamy waters of the tub. You giggled, feeling gleeful as you skipped over to the tub and sank beneath the surface. You let out a quiet moan at the feeling, your tired muscles finally rewarded after a long day.
You looked around the tub, searching for anything to use to clean your wings. Because they were feathers, you had to use a long handle to brush between them when you bathed. As Illyrians had bare wings, you should have assumed that they would not have such difficulty washing their own wings. You huffed out a frustrated breath, attempting to reach over your shoulder in awkward angles to find the remaining dirt and snow that had worked its way in your wings.
A knock sounded on the bathroom door, Azriel calling out to you. âHey, I felt a tu- I felt like you might need something. Is everything okay in there?â Your eyes welled with frustrated tears, humiliated that the Night Court spymaster should find you like this. âEverything is fine, Az. Iâll be okay.â You choked on the last word, and Azriel swore under his breath as he kicked the door open.Â
âSomething is wrong. Please tell me how I can help, or I wonât be able to sleep,â he said, looking everywhere around the room except at you. A small laugh escaped you at his attempt at chivalry. âYou can look at me, Az. Iâm not shy. I just canât reach the dirt on my wings.â A sniffle sounded through the air as you looked at the shadowsinger, whose gaze was only fixed on your dirty, crumpled wings as you trembled in the tub. He swallowed, more nervous than you had ever seen him as Azriel whispered, âI can help you. If- if that is okay.â
You nodded without hesitation. The social taboos of how intimate touching wings was didnât matter to you in that moment, as you were desperate for Azrielâs healing touch. The shadowsinger nodded, moving behind the tub as he awkwardly reached towards your wings. âUm, how should I-?âÂ
You turned around, unable to stop your laughter at the Night Courtâs spymaster hunched over the edge of a bathtub. âYou can get in, Azriel. No offense, but you could use a bath too,â you teased, wrinkling your nose for dramatic effect. He scoffed, his weight shifting between his feet as he considered. âOkay,â Az murmured, looking at you to turn around before he undressed.
You rolled your eyes at the nearly six hundred year old maleâs shyness, but turned around anyway, scooting towards the other end of the tub to make room for him. You silently marveled at how large the bathtub was as well, another luxury you were not used to. Your thoughts were interrupted by the water moving as Azriel silently entered the bath.Â
Clearing his throat, he asked, âso, how is the best way to wash them?â You smiled to yourself before handing him a rag. âJust anywhere that you see dirt, if you could use the washcloth or your hands - whatever is easiest - to wipe it away. It usually gets stuck higher up and between feathers.âÂ
You heard his deep inhale from behind as he brought the washcloth over your wings, biting your lip to keep from moaning at the feeling. After awhile of Azriel using the washcloth, he whispered in a shaky voice, âI think I need to use my hands to get the rest.â You nodded your consent, peeking over your shoulder to see the focused male with his brow furrowed as he lathered soap on his scarred hands. This time when his hands made contact with your wings, you couldnât help the gasp that escaped you.Â
He pulled back quickly, eyes and shadows wildly searching for any sign of harm. âAre you okay? Iâm so sor-â You cut him off with a breathy laugh. âNo, Az, itâs fine. Theyâre just... sensitive. Iâm not hurt.â You promised, looking into those hazel eyes as you swore to him. Azriel nodded, continuing his work with even softer care now, you biting your li until it bled to keep your moans from frightening him away.Â
âOkay, theyâre looking beautiful and pristine as ever,â Azriel announced after awhile, one finger skirting the outside of your right wing as he spoke. You huffed a thank you, both relieved and heartbroken that it was over, when it dawned on you. âDo... you need help with your wings, Azriel?â
It was quiet for a moment, the question weighing heavy in the air before Azriel responded, âyes, I would greatly appreciate that.â The both of you turned around, his broad wings on display for you in the tub as he now faced the other edge. You gently washed his wings - admittedly much easier and faster than your own. He was silent the whole time - except for when you brushed a large vein on his left wing - one groan sounding from him that you kindly ignored. It was an unspoken understanding that neither of you would admit, that Azriel did not need help washing his wings. But something in your chest called you to him, to care for him in the most intimate of ways.
While you dragged it out for as long as you could, the bathwater eventually grew colder and Azrielâs wings could not be much cleaner. The two of you accepted that the moment was over, exiting the bath as you donned your towels. Azriel picked up his leathers, slowly making his way towards the door when you blurted out, âstop.âÂ
He slowly turned, eyeing you cautiously while you scrambled to find a reason for him to stay. âI - um, I donât know the area as well as you, obviously... Would you mind staying in here tonight? The bed has plenty of room.â With a deep breath, you admitted, âI would feel safer with you.â Azriel smiled at you, a glowing feeling tugging in your chest at the sight as he made his way towards your bed, settling under the covers.
Summary: For the longest time, the kingdom has used Bucky as their number one fighter, forcing him to win their wars for them. The only thing he asked for in return after he was done was that they give him a wife, and they did. They handed him the orphan he picked on a silver platter; it wasn't like anyone would miss her. It would've been perfect if she actually wanted to be there though.
Warnings: mentions of hand injury, idiots in love, feels, jealousy, racism against orcs, angry behaviour, shouting, fight gets slightly physical, bruised arm, crying, angst (i'm sorry). I think that's all.
A/N: good news result in long chapters. thank you from the bottom of my heart for everyone who has wished me good luck with my interview, you guys are angels. please enjoyxxđđ
~
âYouâre in love.â
âIâm what now!?â Bucky chuckled dismissively as he dropped his axe.
Bucky had spent half a day at home, refraining from going to work because of his handâs condition, but as much as he loved staying home with her, he knew he wasnât made to take a break.
So he thought he would visit, talk to Sam for a bit and maybe get some pent up âfeelingsâ out on some tree logs. His metal arm was still working just fine after all.
âI said, youâre in love with your human wife,â Sam repeated, smiling so warmly that Bucky wanted to smack him.
âI got her a few weeks ago.â Bucky shook his head in denial of the mere idea of him falling for anyone, let alone a human.
He did love Sam and Sarah, but that was it. They were the only humans he could tolerate. He hated the rest of them. Hell, he hated the human half of himself.
Bucky was just trying to make life easier for himself, that was all. He has been through enough conflicts and he didnât need this in his marriage too. He deserved to live a normal life like everybody else.
Yes, he was courting her, and maybe he did constantly crave the feel of her body against his ever since she let him hug her the night of the injury, and he was definitely getting hopeful now that she hadnât tried to run for a whole half day, but that didnât mean he was in love! Did it?
âAnd now youâre in love with her.â Sam smirked, knowing how much it drove Bucky crazy that a female human had him on his knees for her love.
âQuit saying that!â Bucky stood up, ready to walk away from his annoying friend.
âWhy does it make you so angry that youâre in loââ
âDonât,â Bucky warned him, eyes angry and glaring.
ââve?â
âI am not in love with her, okay! Sheâs human! Plus, that girl drives me crazy! Do you know how many times I had to bring her back after sheâd tried to run in the first two weeks? Five fucking times! Thatâs almost once every two days, Sam. And she only had one foot working!â Bucky ranted heatedly, desperate to negate his best friendâs theory.
Was he in love with her? And if Sam could see it, did that mean she could too?
âWell, why do you care to bring her back? Why not just let her run?â Sam shrugged, internally dying for Bucky to acknowledge his feelings.
âShe could die out there! Humans are weak.â
âSo?â Sam probed, intentionally ignoring Buckyâs remark about humansâ strength.
âSoâ so I signed all those things when she was offered to me. She canâtâ I canâtââ
âYou canât?â
âI canât let her get hurt,â Bucky admitted lowly, sitting down on a log with a loud sigh.
âWhy does that make you so upset?â Sam dug deeper.
âBecause I think youâre right. I think I might be in love with her.â Bucky rubbed his eye with his good hand, pushing his hair back angrily.
âAnd?â
âAnd she thinks Iâm the devil.â Buckyâs face fell to his palms.
âDid she ever say that to you out loud?â Sam asked, touching the end of his sharpened blade.
âShe doesnât need to, Sam. I see it in her eyes every time I find her after sheâd tried to run away.â Buckyâs voice was broken like his friend has never heard before.
âI thought you said everything was better after your injury?â
âYeah, but thatâs not gonna last forever.â Bucky gave a sad grin, âsheâs soon gonna go back to seeing me the same as before.â
âWell, itâs up to you to change her mind, Buck.â Sam patted his friendâs shoulder, giving a squeeze.
Bucky sighed once more before getting up.
Sam was a human. A very handsome one with much less scars and non-icy skin. He would never understand. It would never work. She hated him.
He could continue trying, but it wouldnât change anything of the way she felt about him and their marriage. She had told him time and time again how she felt about both.
âGoing home already?â
âYeah, I canât miss the running away bit. Itâs my favourite,â he sighed, Sam's laugh trailing behind him.
âSmile at her for a change.â
âShut up.â I do smile at her. I only ever smile at her.
âSarah loved the jam by the way!â Sam yelled.
âIâll let her know!â Bucky yelled back before exhaling sadly.
Sam would never understand. Her taking pity on him those past couple of hours was nothing more than sympathy and likely even guilt.
Sam would never understand that of all the eyes in the world, it seems like Bucky has managed to fall for the only ones that knew how to hurt him, the eyes that would only look at him as a disgusting, frightening monster.
~
When Bucky got home, everything was creepily in place. His door was closed like he had left it and he actually had to use his key to open it for the first time in a while.
Stepping inside, the warm smell of roast chicken welcomed him back.
The house was warm because all the windows were actually shut, too. It was all so calm and homely; the orc was seriously worried.
And then he heard it: his human wifeâs sweet voice, humming the melody of a song unfamiliar to him. It sounded like it was coming from the kitchen.
Bucky carefully shut the door behind him, not wanting her peaceful mood to end so soon as he tried to take lighter steps to where she was.
Much to his dismay though, she needed something from the other side of the kitchen and when she turned around she saw Bucky and gasped, jumping embarrassingly high.
âYou scared me!â She whined, holding a hand to her heart.
âSorry.â Bucky smirked, entertained by how cute she looked when startled.
âWelcome home,â she mumbled with a bit-back grin, holding onto his forearms before getting on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on Buckyâs cheek.
She never told him, but she was unbelievably thankful when he didnât specify which type of kiss he expected weeks ago, and even more thankful when he didnât object to her pecking his cheek before burying herself under the covers.
Life with Bucky has gotten undeniably familiar lately and leaving him was all of a sudden an idea that didnât interest her as much as before.
Everything he was saying and doing has brought her closer to him without her even comprehending it.
As the days passed, she had realized running away was too exhausting, too risky, and for what? It wasnât like she had a home to run to or a treasure buried somewhere or a lover worth escaping her orc for.
Her orc.
Hers.
A word she never felt the meaning of until the day Bucky made her his wife.
Bucky was the first and only one to present to her a taste of something she has never had: the feeling of exclusively owning things.
The smile that graced her face when she brushed her hair the first time with the brush Bucky got her was new and unprecedented.
Her brush, he called it.
Her shoes. Her chair. Her towel. Her clothes. Her books. Her side of the bed. Her cottage. Her kitchen.
And her husband.
Everything was brand new and completely hers.
Nothing was handed down to her, nothing was used before the minute her fingers had touched it. None of the things Bucky gifted her had previous owners, including him and his heart.
Most importantly, she didnât have to share any of it with anybody.
âYouâre home,â Bucky said, a surprised yet very happy smile lighting up his handsome features.
âI thought the wife was supposed to say that,â she replied playfully, going back to the bubbling pot.
Bucky raised his eyebrows at the good mood she seemed to be in. He was liking this.
He watched her sprinkle some black pepper into the soup as he came behind her.
She could feel the heat of his body surrounding her even when they werenât touching and it had her heartbeat going crazy.
âThank you, little human,â Bucky whispered, before he leaned down and pecked her cheek as well, his stubble and blunt tusks tickling her jaw.
She felt her whole body jolt with electricity at the simple graze of his lips and tusks on her skin as she closed her eyes.
Bucky left the kitchen and went to the bathroom but she was still hot as if his warmth never left her.
And when she opened her eyes and absentmindedly reached her fingertips to touch her cheek, she found herself smiling too.
What was happening to her? What was this foreign feeling lifting her off of her feet in the middle of the kitchen?
âSamâs sister loved your strawberry jam by the way!â Bucky shouted to her from the bathroom, making her jump again before smiling to herself.
He didnât use Sarahâs name on purpose, not wanting to ruin her happy mood as he had noticed how angry she got every time he would say it.
âIâll make her more tomorrow!â She replied with a grin, proud of her handâs work, her jealousy long forgotten after Buckyâs words of the night before.
After all, how could she be jealous when she was the one that Bucky was looking at like that?
~
When she finished setting up the table and Bucky didnât come out of the bathroom, she got a little worried.
He never took too long during his showers, and now that he only had one arm to use, she thought he would cut his showers even shorter.
What if his wound was bleeding again and he didnât want to tell her and was trying to fix it by himself inside the bathroom? She knew she should have stopped him from going to the yard!
âBucky.â She knocked on the door softly, wanting to make sure he was okay.
âYes, little human?â Bucky instantly opened the door for her.
And he looked like a dream.
Steam has surrounded him inside the bathroom, water drops from his still-wet hair dripping down his muscular, bare chest and for the first time since Bucky has been naked around her, she found herself looking at him. Actually looking.
Buckyâs chest was so broad, beefy and ribbed down to his abdomen. Scars of all sizes and shapes littered the beautiful, icy greyish skin, a reminder of the battles he had fought and all the sacrifices he had made.
Her heart clenched at the sight, a pang of sympathy coursing through her as she could only imagine the pain he must have had to endure.
Still, she found her hands tingling in curiosity, desperate to know what tracing the healed skin would feel like under her fingertips.
Bucky was a sight for sore eyes, a sight that both captivated and unnerved her, stirring a flurry of unfamiliar emotions in her chest that she struggled to contain.
She averted her gaze, feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over her at the unexpected intimacy of the moment.
âAreââ she chocked, her voice barely above a whisper as she coughed it out, âare you okay? You took a while.â
âYeah, Iâm just having a hard time drying up my hair with one arm,â Bucky reassured her, chuckling lightly at his dilemma as he let the towel around his neck drop.
He was completely oblivious to the way he just made her face burn up as her thoughts spiraled out of control.
âCome.â She took Buckyâs hand in hers, careful not to squeeze his palm, and led him outside to their bed.
It took Bucky a second to move his feet, but when he did, he felt like he was being carried on top of a cloud.
She felt herself drawn to him in a way she couldnât quite explain, her heart pounding with a mixture of nervousness, curiosity and⌠desire. A new sensation was tingling all over her body, specifically in places she didnât need to be tingling right now.
Positioning herself between his parted legs, she reached to take the towel from around Buckyâs neck.
His eyes watched her, surprise flickering in them as he realized what she was going to do, unable to believe what was happening.
Sensing her nervousness, Bucky offered her a reassuring, grateful smile, silently encouraging her to continue.
And as she began to carefully pat his damp hair dry, her touch tentative and her eyes focused, he felt warmth welling up inside him.
She couldnât help but steal glances at his bare shoulder and chest, her cheeks burning with embarrassment at the engrossing sight. It was a feeling unlike anything she has ever experienced before, her heart racing with unparalleled excitement.
The awkwardness of the situation began to fade bit by bit as she focused more on the task at hand, in its place growing an overwhelming sense of closeness and familiarity.
Buckyâs hair was so soft under her fingertips as she took the towel up and down the brown locks. She wished she had given herself a chance to touch it more before.
As she finished drying her orcâs hair, she met his gaze with a shy bite of her lip, her eyes sparkling with newfound confidence.
Bucky reached out to take her hands, his smile appreciative as his lips pressed a deep kiss on each palm, silently thanking her for her kindness and care.
~
âI didnât know your cooking was so good. You surprise me every day,â Bucky praised, as she filled his mouth with more lentil soup, trying not to think of his conversation with Sam or the way his body was still on fire from the mere act of her drying his hair for him.
He couldnât even believe she was feeding him after seeing him struggle to keep the food on his spoon using his left hand.
âAll the girls at the orphanage know how to cook. They teach us all sorts of things and make us to be good housewives,â she replied, suddenly nostalgic of her days at the orphanage, curious to know how, where and when Bucky got the chance to see her back then.
Bucky didnât say anything, busying his mouth with chewing some bread as his smile shrank.
She didnât look happy. Why did she stay then? Was she planning on running away at night that day? Maybe she put something in the food?
âIâm glad you like your dinner though,â she said, breaking the thick silence with a soft smile as she fed the orc a piece of chicken.
âWhy didnât you try to leave today?â Bucky couldnât hold back.
She was taken aback by his question. She thought he wanted her here.
Was he finally done? Did he want her out? Was he not going to look for her this time? Has Bucky given up on her? Was he going to leave her be had she gotten out today?
Most importantly, she didnât know how to answer because it seemed like she was done running away from her new life with him, and she didnât know if she could admit that.
âIâ did you want me to?â She asked, her voice strained as she tried to hold in the tears.
âNo! No, of course not!â He assured her quickly.
âThen?â She chewed on her lip.
âI donât want you to stop running if it makes you feel alive,â Bucky told her, his blue eyes gushing with love he didnât intend to show, âIâm willing to go to the ends of the earth to find you.â
âWhat?â She wasnât expecting this at all, all the tingles she had hardly managed to shake off after drying Buckyâs wet hair coming back to attack her.
How were these words coming out of an orc! And why did they make her heart stutter in its beats?
âI love your fiery spirit and Iâm afraid Iâm killing it by keeping you here against your wishes. I never want to be the one to snuff your fire out.â Bucky admitted, eyes sincere as he watched her.
She just stared at him for a moment, stunned as her heart skipped yet another beat.
If he only knew that he was the one who had managed to bring this fiery personality to life.
Bucky respected her silence and went back to enjoying his dinner, not wanting to push her for a reply. She could take her time.
She kept staring at him in confusion for another minute before taking her almost untouched plate and getting up.
She almost ran to the kitchen with her hand on her heart.
What was going on with her? Her heart wasnât seriously beating this loud for the orc. Could it be?
He sounded so selfless and spoke so gently like he has never before and she was overwhelmed.
His words were doing things to her that she has never felt before. What was wrong with her?
She knew she had caught herself staring at him without a shirt just minutes ago, maybe admiring his eyelashes as he slept in some early mornings, but she rendered it curiosity and nothing more.
She shook her head, her thoughts startling to her as she emptied her plate in the garbage and started washing it vigorously.
Bucky no longer had an appetite, sighing at her reaction.
He told himself he could understand, but it was still hurtful the way she jumped out of her chair.
He left his plate on the table, not wanting to invade her privacy by going to the kitchen before leaving the cottage altogether.
He probably shouldnât have said anything.
~
She revisited the subject the same afternoon though, not wanting there to be any misunderstandings between her and Bucky. Not any longer.
âI donât wanna leave anymore,â she admitted timidly, making Buckyâs smile betray him and his usual frowning.
âBut I donât like being locked away in here all day either,â she said carefully, scared to upset him.
âWhere do you wanna go? The forest is dangerous, little human.â Bucky was back to frowning at the thought of anything bad happening to her again.
It was torture for him when her foot was still healing and he was the most relieved when it finally did. He couldnât just let her roam around when she didnât know the area.
âTake me out when you come back from work maybe? Or even on your day off,â she suggested, desperate to see the world.
âAnd go where?â
âAnywhere. We can walk around the woods before it gets dark, you could show me your shop, I could meet Sam? Or we could even go to the market!â She suggested eagerly.
She has been locked up for so long and she didnât want to continue her life like this.
Bucky actually thought about it and he didnât hate the idea. Taking her out with him would ensure her safety. He would be by her side and he would protect her. He also liked the thought of taking her out and properly courting her even if she didnât know that that was what he was doing.
He said he didnât want to kill her spirit by keeping her in here and she gave him the solution.
âOkay.â Bucky nodded at her with a smile.
âOkay?â She exclaimed happily, not believing Bucky would actually take her out to see around.
âOkay.â He nodded again reassuringly, her happiness making him laugh.
âWell, donât you have tomorrow off?â She asked suggestively, gesturing to his hand.
Bucky laughed, nodding, âput your shoes on.â
âThank you, Bucky.â She involuntarily gave his healing hand a squeeze, kissing his cheek before running to get her shoes.
Bucky swallowed hard, hoping he would be able to hold himself together and not completely melt under her sweet company.
âYouâve got to promise me though,â he said.
She looked at him questioningly as she slipped one foot into a shoe.
âNo running away, little human.â
âNo running away. Promise.â She promised, shaking her head with a shy smile.
Bucky smiled big, taking her smaller hand in his as she grabbed her basket in the other, ready to browse the market with her husband.
Her husband. That was starting to sound unquestionably comforting.
âOh, and one more thing.â
âWhat?â She tilted her head with a grin.
âYou owe me a kiss,â Bucky said, his tone serious.
âNo, I donât! If anything, I just gave you an extra kiss!â
âYes, you do. From that morning. Youâre still one kiss behind!â
âI just made up for it!â
âDoesnât count. That one covers the night before.â Bucky shrugged, a smile etched on his lips.
âOkay, fine.â She kissed Buckyâs cheek, âstop going around saying other girlsâ names though.â
Bucky laughed, âI only know one!â
âStill too many,â she whispered under her breath, but Bucky heard it, smiling from ear to ear as he took his hand in hers, taking the right path out of the woods.
~
It was a beautiful afternoon, full of warm sunshine and fruitful deals. She has got some pretty good stuff for really good prices.
She couldnât believe Bucky actually gave her pocket money.
He didnât want her to have to ask him for money every time something caught her eye. He wanted her independent, fulfilled and brave as she bought herself whatever her heart desired.
Her heart was so full and her smile was inerasable.
Bucky didnât let go of her hand all day and she actually liked it so much that she never complained. The feel of his calloused skin against her soft palm wasnât like anything she has felt before.
She didnât want to let go of his hand even while looking at the different stands and booths at the market.
But she eventually liked the flower stand too much and told Bucky she would take a look at them while he continued buying them the fruits he was picking.
âGood afteroon,â a smooth voice interrupted her admiration of the potted plants before her, making her look up for a second.
âGood afternoon.â She smiled coyly.
âAny favorites?â The handsome man inside the booth asked her.
âAll of them,â she giggled softly, the sound catching Buckyâs ears at once.
The man laughed back, âokay, I think I have something special for you. How about this one?â He brought her a purple flower from the batch hidden behind him inside the booth.
âOh, how beautiful! What is this one?â She wondered, amazement sparkling in her eyes at the sight of the pretty petals.
âThat is a Globemaster Allium. Pretty, isnât she?â He asked, staring at her desirously as she looked at the flower.
âYes, sheâs stunning!â
âIâm Cole by the wayââ
She heard Bucky clear his throat next to her and looked up at once, the innocent awe in her eyes softening the orc a little.
âLook, Bucky! Isnât this the most beautiful thing youâve ever seen?â She pointed to the flower pot excitedly.
Bucky leaned in, his frown scaring her a little, her breath hitching when his lips tickled the shell of her ear, âno, little human, youâre the most beautiful thing Iâve ever seen.â
She chocked on her own saliva, hiding her hot face with her hand as she coughed, âBucky!â She whined with a shy smile.
Where did that come from!
âLetâs go,â Bucky said with a nod of his head, eyes stern as he glared at Cole.
âCanââ She held his wrist, âcan I have it?â She asked softly, gesturing to the flower pot.
Bucky wanted to say no. He didnât want her to have this farmerâs flower. But he couldnât say no to those hopeful, beautiful eyes of hers.
âFine.â He watched her get the money out of her pocket and she smiled gratefully as she almost set them down on Coleâs counter.
âItâs on the house,â Cole said, still smiling dreamily at her.
She could all but swallow as she gave a polite smile back before looking up at Bucky for help.
âTake your goddamn money.â Bucky made a quick job of paying for the flower, taking the money from her and slamming it on the counter, making the whole booth shake.
He quickly took his wife home, deciding that was enough socialization for the both of them for the day.
She wasnât going to lie, she was loving jealousy on her orc. It felt so intoxicating to have someone love her so much that he was jealous of other men talking to her.
She wouldnât tell Bucky, but she would probably spend the nights of the next week smiling at the wall every time she remembered how he held her hand back home just a little bit tighter that day.
Her own heart was running wild at the sight of the orc now and she didnât want it any other way.
~
âNow you know how it feels,â she teased with a smile as they were getting ready for bed.
Bucky couldnât let it go, talking about how they were never going to stop by that farmerâs flower booth ever again.
âThatâs not the same! I was never into Sarah! But that man was openly ogling you!â Bucky grumbled, his frown digging deep into the skin of his forehead.
âHe was just being nice, trying to sell his flowers,â she laughed, upsetting Bucky even more.
How couldnât she see it? The guy was all over her!
âHe was flirting and you were all giggles and blushes.â Bucky copied her, going to the bed and burying himself under the covers, facing the wall.
He understood now why she had done that.
âHey, thatâs my spot!â She joked, not knowing if Bucky was being serious.
âNot tonight,â he murmured from underneath the covers.
âBucky,â she whined, uncovering her orcâs face.
Bucky didnât reply, pushing himself closer to the wall.
She tried to bring him on his back by the shoulder like he so easily did her a couple of night ago, but he was too strong for her and his body wouldnât budge.
She huffed, âokay, you left me no choice.â
Bucky remained still, wanting to see what she meant by that as he felt her shift behind him.
Before he knew it, she was on top of his bicep, trying to slot herself between his body and the wall.
âWhat on earthââ
âYou started it, Bucky!â She said, voice determined as she kept pushing, trying to squeeze herself in the small space accessible.
Bucky looked at her in amusement for a second before moving back, making her body drop as larger space became available.
She landed with the tiniest âouffâ on the mattress, facing Bucky on her side with her back to the wall, its coolness helping soothe the heat rising to the surface of her skin.
That was the closest she had been to Bucky since their hug the night of his injury, face to face as his passionate sapphire eyes watched hers.
âHi,â she whispered, heart in her throat.
âHi,â Bucky replied with a charming smile, smoothing some of her ruffled strands back in place.
She stared at the orcâs eyes, not the slightest bit scared of the fact that she was trapped against the wall by his huge body.
âYouâre not the only one who wants to be loyal to this marriage, Bucky,â she said, surprising Bucky and herself, âI donât want the farmer. I donât want anyone else.â but you.
Bucky smiled in disbelief, taken aback by her words, and she took it as permission to move closer to his chest. He instinctively wrapped her up in a protective hug, wondering how he was able to hold himself back from kissing her.
She pushed her face into her orcâs chest, his scent and warmth engulfing her into a protective bubble.
She couldnât believe she said the words she has just said and it made her bury her burning face deeper in Buckyâs arms.
He could only hug her tighter, his nose in her sweet-smelling hair as his smile grew bigger.
This moment right there was everything Bucky has ever wished for. He could die a happy orc right then and there.
~
It became a habit for them to go out to the village on Buckyâs day off. They were both having a great time, getting closer and falling harder.
Cole hasnât spoken to her again after learning that the snow orc was actually her husband, and she respected Buckyâs feelings and never approached Coleâs booth no matter how pretty the plants on his stand were.
Market outings were their thing now and she wasnât going to let anything ruin that.
She didnât want anyone elseâs attention but Buckyâs anyway. His hand has almost fully healed and she could now squeeze it all she wanted whenever she got excited about anything they encountered.
One thing did occur that annoyed her though and that was the way the jewelry lady would look at her every time she and Bucky would pass by. The woman had so much pity in her eyes when she saw her hand in an orcâs and she hated it.
She despised the way people misjudged her orc when he was far better than any human man she couldâve ever ended up with.
Yet, the lady kept giving her those pitiful looks, probably thinking Bucky had enslaved her or something.
But enough was enough.
When Bucky was busy looking at the knives, she made her way to the jewelry lady, determined to put an end to the ridiculousness.
âHe is my husband,â she sternly told the lady in the jewelry stand, taking the chance that Bucky wasnât listening.
âOh.â The lady quickly gave a kind smile, turning from concerned about her to happy for her, âI apologize for misjudging you, dear. I was only worried about you. Weâve all heard stories about him.â
âWell, thatâs all they are. Stories.â She ferociously defended, her eyes still stern.
âIâm sorry,â the woman sincerely expressed her regret, squeezing her hand.
She nodded with a small smile, accepting the older womanâs apology.
âI donât see a ring on your hand.â The jewelry lady gestured to the collection of rings in her glass box with a wink.
âOh.â
The sentence caught Buckyâs ears as he turned away to look at her embarrassed face.
âWe didnât get time to buy one. It all happened so quickly,â she explained awkwardly and Buckyâs expression fell.
âI have a pretty collection if you wanna take a look, and donât worry about the price,â the older lady suggested kindly.
âNo, itâs okayââ
âChoose what you like, sweet thing,â Bucky whispered to her, immediately by her side when he saw her eyes skimming over the jewelry, âIâm sorry Iâm not familiar with the human marriage traditions. I shouldâve gotten you one sooner.â
âItâs okay, Bucky. You donât have to,â she reassured with a tender smile.
She didnât need a ring to know that she was Buckyâs.
âI want to. I want you to wear my ring, little human.â Bucky raised her hands to his lips, placing the softest kisses on her each finger.
Her heart surged as a shy smile spread on her lips, heat rising to her cheeks.
âOkay.â She nodded happily, feeling like she was in a dream and she never wanted to wake up.
Though very expensive, Bucky ended up buying her the ring she chose. It was the prettiest gold ring with a moss agate blue diamond.
She tried to talk him out of it, wanting to pick something cheaper, but Bucky wouldnât have it.
She has never felt as special as she felt with Buckyâs ring on her finger. It was the prettiest thing from the most handsome orc.
And in that very moment, she was the happiest that she trusted her gut; that she gave Bucky, and herself a chance for this marriage to be something more than a contractual deal.
Bucky couldnât believe she has finally let him make her his. When he slipped that ring on her tiny finger, he felt like he was king of the world.
While walking back to their cottage, a new dream got unlocked inside of her, one that included her and Bucky and their very own little stand in the market.
âCan we stop by the shop before we go home?â She asked tentatively.
âSure, why? Did you forget something there yesterday?â
She has been to the shop a couple of times, curious to meet the important people in Buckyâs life and possibly have friends of her own, too.
âNo, just wanna show Sarah the ring,â she said, a shy smile lighting up her happy face.
Bucky brought her hand to his lips, kissing her ring finger this time, âto the shop it is.â
~
Everything was going amazingly and she wished with all her heart that it would stay that way, but unfortunately, the very next day was a day for another fight that none of them saw coming.
Bucky still hasnât recovered from her little stunt a few weeks ago and today he came back to find the cottage empty again.
He should have locked the door. He shouldnât have trusted that a ring on her finger might stop her old habits or give her a magical change of heart.
What about all the small moments she had shared? Did those mean nothing to her?
Buckyâs anger and feeling of betrayal wiped away everything nice that had happened between the two of them, only remembering that she never wanted to be here in the very first place.
âWhy are you so adamant about making me lose my mind?â Bucky asked, pushing her inside and slamming the door behind them.
âIâm not! Would you just listen?!â She yelled back, startled by the harsh treatment.
âWhat the hell were you thinking?!â Bucky shouted as if he didnât hear her.
âI was justââ
âWandering through the forest alone is dangerous, Iâve told you time and again, and yet you keep doing it!â
âWould you listen to me?!âÂ
âNo! You acted like you would stop running, so what changed?!â Bucky threw his big arms in the air, making her take a step back.
Bucky looked bigger than he usually did when he was livid like that.
âI wasnât running!â She repeated, her voice tinged with anger of her own at the distrust.
âStop lying!â Bucky growled, roughly grabbing her by the arm.
âIâm not lying,â she insisted as she tried not to wince at the way Bucky held her forearm, her jaw clenched defiantly.
âThen what were you doing up the hill, huh?â Bucky unconsciously squeezed her arm harder.
âYouâre hurting me.â She tried to pull away, but Bucky wouldnât release her.
âYou think youâre the only one who has fucking feelings?â Bucky shook her in his hold, unintentionally bruising her further.
She cried out but it fell on deaf ears, âBucky, let me go!â
âDo you think what you do doesnât affect me just because Iâm not a goddamn human?!â He forced her closer, making her tears fall as he barked in her face.
His words hung heavy in the air, echoing through the spacious room.
âBucky, please,â she tried again, not wanting to fight anymore.
Bucky finally listened, suddenly shocked at his actions as he let her arm go.
Itâs been so long since he had made her cry and he just ruined everything good he had worked on building with her.
She just stood there, whimpering in pain as she held her arm to her chest.
Bucky watched her roll the sleeve of her winter dress up to look at her arm and there they were: thick fingerprints on her flesh.
âIâ Iâm sorry,â he whispered, trying to get closer to look at her arm, swallowing hard.
To his surprise, she let him.
âIâm sorry, little human.â Bucky wiped a few of her tears away, regret evident in his voice.
âI wasnât running,â she repeated, pushing her hands in the pockets of her dress, âI was collecting berries to decorate the cake I made earlier.â She pulled handfuls of now ruined wild strawberries, raspberries and blackberries out of her pockets and dropped them on the wooden table for him to see.
She left Bucky alone to stare at the berries and went to the kitchen.
And boy did he stare.
He felt so stupid and ashamed at the way he had reacted. He just hurt her and she wasnât even trying to leave. He wouldnât let her explain either and had unjustly judged her.
She got out a cold water bottle from the fridge, pushing it to her bruised arm.
Bucky walked into the kitchen, shame branded on his face.
âAre you okay?â He asked, not knowing what to do to correct his mistake.
âWhat do you think?!â She irritably snapped at him, waving her bruised arm in the air.
âI just wanted to help!â Bucky barked back.
âWell, I donât want your help!â She shouted.
âFine! Donât want it!â Bucky walked out, his feet stomping on the wooden floors.
He stormed out of the cottage, violently slamming the door behind him.
Bucky then realized what he has just done and how he had made the situation even worse. He kicked a rock so hard he was sure it flew to the other side of the forest as he saw birds flying disruptively.
âDamn it!â He yelled out loud, slamming his fist to the door, making her flinch inside the cottage.
The fight between the orcâs rough exterior and his rather tender feelings for her was torturing Bucky. What he meant to show was that he cared about her and was worried for her, but instead heâd done what heâd done.
She, on the other side of the wall, irately got out of the kitchen with the trash bin and swept the berries from the table, throwing them in the garbage.
When Bucky got inside again, she was cleaning the stain of the berries from the table, her features still twisted in a frown.
He opened his mouth, trying to think of anything he could say to fix this, but nothing came out. With a sigh, he left the cottage once more, leaving her all alone.
She sat down with a huff, throwing the cloth in her hand across the room.
She let her tears run in frustration.
It was supposed to be a peaceful night where they enjoyed a delightful desert that she has worked hard on making and was going to work hard on decorating.
She was trying to start a life with him. Why did he have to ruin it like that? She wasnât running. How could she make him believe her?
She desperately wanted, needed Bucky to trust her.
She cried harder, feeling helpless in the face of her orcâs rage as her heart clenched at the thought of a happiness gone so soon.

Sorry for requesting something so soon after my Wanda ask... But all I can think of is like Hotchkiss with reader who just absolutely spoils him and jack because their like a CEO or something and want them to have the best. And one day they send Hotch to work with a gift for Spencer after a hard case (maybe a book he's been looking for but can't find). So the team get a little jealous and want to meet her. - @azeal-peal đ
Looking at your phone, you smiled at your lock screen and went back to looking at the people you were sat in a meeting with.
âHow about we take a small break?â You asked.
âYour boyfriend calling?â Someone chuckled.
You laughed softly, standing up as you grabbed your phone.
âActually my boyfriend is here, and weâre in no rush to finish this project, I trust you all. Go take a few hours, weâll meet back just after lunch.â
Everybody seemed happy with this arrangement, and you quickly tidied a few of the papers away, setting them aside and picked up your papers.
Heading to your office, you set them on the desk, then walked back outside, making your way across the office.
You saw him before he saw you, and you grinned from ear to ear as you walked closer.
âHello sweetheart.â You greeted.
Hotch turned around, a smile gracing his face as he saw you.
He opened his arms and you wrapped your arms around his neck, letting him wrap his own around you and you pulled him down for a kiss.
Letting him go after a minute, you played with the hairs on the base of his neck.
âI just got back, Jack is at school so I thought Iâd come see if youâre free.â
âIâm always free for you my darling.â
Hotch chuckled a little bit, letting go of you he held his hand out and you took it, letting him lead you back to his office.
He gathered your phone, your keys and your wallet for you, putting them into the pockets of his blazer, then held out his arm.
You looped your arm with his, making your way down to the parking lot.
âI was thinking about jacks trip, and I want to get him some new clothes for it, oh and a new suit for you, we have an appointment with the tailor.â
âYou donât have to do that.â
âI know, but Iâm going to do it. So, suck it up and tell me about your case.â
Hotch nodded, opening the car door for you, and you got in.
When he was in the drivers side, he began to tell you about the case on the way to the tailors.
He explained how hard the case was for Reid, and what had happened, the fact that Reece had been hurt, and heâs really struggling with the fact he was hurt.
You listened carefully as he talked.
âThe poor kid has it hard.â You sighed.
âI know, but honestly heâs one of the best agents we have, if not the best agent. I just wish there was some way to boost his confidence in himself.â Hotch sighed.
âGive it time, I imagine life has been hard for him because of how smart he is, and we know this world isnât too kind to people who are different. Just keep supporting him Aaron and let him know youâre there for him.â
You guided your boyfriend into the tailors and over to the man who was waiting for him.
While they were measuring up a new suit, you were flicking through some others, looking at the colours and designs, then you made your way over to the accessories.
You found a nice, though expensive watch in the glass case.
âItâs nice isnât it?â Another man asked.
âAbsolutely, though I was wondering if you have something a little less flashy and more work appropriate. My boyfriend wouldnât be able to wear this to work.â
The man nodded his head, pulling out some watches.
âSome of these are more expensive due to their unique design, but they would be more appropriate for a working environment if you didnât want it to be easily damaged.â
You looked through them, and you looked at a pure gold one, small intricate designs carved into the links of the watch.
âI like this, Iâll get this one. Heâs currently getting a new suit fitted so Iâd like to wait for that before paying, Iâll probably get him a few more ties as well. Something that says professional, but can be used for formal meals and such as well.â
He nodded.
âWe have a few I think youâll like them.â
You carried on picking some stuff up for Hotch, then waited by the counter for him, also getting yourself a new watch since you wanted a change.
When Hotch had his new suit fitted, it was brought over and he stood next to you.
â(Y/N) no, you canât. This is all too much and it has to be expensive.â
You grinned a little bit, handing over your bank card.
âOops, too late.â
He sighed, giving you a small smile as he shook his head and he leant forward, kissing your forehead.
âYouâre too good for meâŚâ he whispered.
âIâd say itâs the other way around sweetheart, oh, and before you go to work tomorrow I have something for you to take it.â
You never told Hotch what it was, but you did go pick it up later on that night before heading back home.
Jack was happily trying on all of his clothes, and you handed the box to Hotch with the instructions to give it to Reid first thing in the morning.
And he did, when he got to the office he waited for Reid and made his way over.
â(Y/N) wanted you to have this.â
He set the box on the desk and Reid furrowed his brows a little bit.
âOh? The mysterious rich partner has a gift for the pretty boy?â Emily asked.
They all walked over to watch as Reid opened it.
He set the lid to the box aside, and he picked up the note that was neatly placed on the top.
âWhatâs it say?â Rossi asked.
âIt says to always believe in myself.â
He set the note aside and picked up the very old book.
âItâs a first edition of a Russian novel Iâve been looking forâŚâ he whispered.
âOh my god thatâs amazing!â Garcia gasped.
âDamn, that mustâve cost a lot.â Morgan whistled.
They all nodded in agreement and Hotch just chuckled a little bit, shaking his head.
âThey donât care about cost, to (Y/N) they just want everybody to have the best.â
âSeriously Hotch, we have to meet them this isnât fair.â JJ laughed.
Everybody immediately started asking him and begging him to be able to meet you.
Theyâd all heard about you, they knew about you from being the CEO of a large company, theyâd seen photos of you and seen interviews of you thanks to Garica.
But they hadnât had the chance to meet you, and they wanted to meet you, finally get to see the person who keeps gifting them all expensive gifts
Hi! Can you pretty please do a Percy x child of Hebe headcanons where they both are out of Tartarus and healing? Thanks ur the best! đ
ââË.â percy jackson x child of hebe! reader hcs
content: percy jackson x child of hebe hcs
warning: in depth conversations about trauma and all the icky stuff that surrounds tartarus
author's note: a little short but so so sweet!! comfort like you've never been comforted before. this is actually such an interesting concept that i wish i could dive into with the other boys like...what would jason do in tartarus??? my fav boy leo??? franky-poo???
one year out
it's been one year since you and percy finally got out of tartarus
so why did you still feel like you were trapped down there?
the nightmares were never ending and the tears felt just as bad
it helped that percy, your beloved boy, was going through it with you too
there were nights in which he couldn't let you go, scared you'd slip away in the darkness and he'd never see you again
scared you'd fall, this time with no one to catch you
he couldn't be apart from you on this nights, even following you into the bathroom, sitting on the lip of the bathtub while he waited
it was exhausting for the both of you and you rarely got full nights of sleep anymore
so on this horrid anniversary, you and percy had a plan
you'd talk to clover over in the hypno cabin, kindly requested anything to help to the two of you sleep
he'd been more than happy to hand over his demigod level melatonin gummies, in the shape of pegasus and sheep and little lions
the two of you stocked up on favorite childhood movies, snacks, and - your favorite - coloring books
and you sat inside the poseidon cabin, determined to not be bother the whole day
every interaction with anyone outside of the pair of them would be a reminder of what day it was, which would bring all those terrible and gross feelings bubbling to the surface
and you two were determined to have a care free day, DAMN IT!
you were coloring and smiling and cuddling and just enjoying each other's presence
as a child of hebe, you loved coloring books!!
made you feel like a little kid again, that innocence of no one telling you whether or not it was good or bad.
it just was
then, as the night was coming to an end and you and percy had just started to reach for the melatonin gummies, a huge bang! rang through camp
followed by shouting, tons and tons of shouting, leo's voice easily heard above the rests
"I SAID NO, YOU LITTLE SHITS!! YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT?? FIREWORKS?? TO CELEBRATE WHAT, EXACTLY?? GET BACK HERE, YOU-"
your breathing had picked up and your hold on percy's bicep had tightened nearly enough to draw blood
he froze too before pulling you into his chest, shushing with a broken voice as he ran his hands through your hair
and you were getting flashbacks, your brain tricking you into thinking you were hearing rushing wind again and the way percy was holding you was just so similar and-
"breathe, y/n. it's me and you, always, but you gotta breath," percy whispered, his voice cutting through your thoughts like a sword
"okay, okay," you muttered back, resting your forehead to his chest and attempting to match him the best you could
admittedly, his breathing wasn't exactly even either, but it was better than yours
"i love you. so so much, baby." percy whispered this and similar sweet nothings into your ear, desperate to sooth you and himself
"you know, you're the best thing that ever happened to me, percy jackson," you managed to get out, looking up at him like you've never looked at him before, something more than devotion and admiration and love all combined. a look that rivaled aphrodite's definition of love
"i'd say im the luckiest guy in the world to have a girl as precious as you by my side. i- i don't deserve-"
"don't you dare. not today, percy, not today of all days," you cut in, shaking your head against his chest.
and percy could breath again, unknowingly needing that reassurance more than anything on that day
that cursed day that they were determined to stain with good memories, memories so fond and love-soaked that the bad ones simply faded away.
i thought about this concept when i watched the eras tour film and you guys encouraged me to write it so here it is ! i enjoyed it a lot so i really hope you like it
ps. the usernames on the comments are taylorâs dancers ! (theyâre all so cool iâm obsessed with them)

TMZ ARTICLE
Harry Styles and Taylor Swift have their fans buzzing with excitement at the possibility that theyâre back together.. and based on the many sightings of him at Taylorâs concerts.. they may be on to something.
The former flames, who had a brief but memorable relationship back in the day, have sent the internet into a frenzy with speculations about a possible rekindling of their romance.
The' As it Was' singer was seen sneaking into the opening night of Taylor Swift's tour in Arizona, catching the attention of eagle-eyed fans who couldn't believe their luck witnessing both pop icons under one roof. But that wasn't all â Styles continued his tour attendance, popping up at shows in Tampa and Atlanta, adding fuel to the already rumors of a reconnection.
A source has also provided us pictures of Harry pulling up at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, where Taylorâs show took place this weekend.
Their history is no secret â Taylor Swift and Harry Styles' romance made headlines years ago, with their short-lived yet highly publicized relationship making fans go crazy. From romantic strolls in Central Park to cozying up at award shows, their time together never goes out of style.
But what does Harry's sudden appearance at Taylor's tour mean? Could it just be a friendly show of support between two mega-stars, or is there something more happening behind the scenes?
Fans have taken to social media, discussing every moment of their recent encounters, analyzing their body language, and even coming up with conspiracy theories about secret messages hidden in their song lyrics. Some die-hard 'Haylor' shippers are convinced this could be the moment they've been waiting for â the reunion of one of pop culture's most talked-about couples.
Both Styles and Swift have remained notoriously private about their personal lives, keeping fans guessing and rumors going around. Neither camp has confirmed or denied the speculations, leaving the world to wonder if there's a romantic renaissance on the horizon.
As the 'Eras Tour' continues its journey across the country, all eyes remain glued to the stage, anticipating every possible hint of a rekindled spark between Harry Styles and Taylor Swift.
Stay tuned as we keep our lenses focused and our ears to the ground for any whispers, sightings or signs of this potential Hollywood romance getting back together.

Summary: Itâs been one year since you and Eddie discovered your feelings for one anotherâand so much more. Now, itâs your anniversary and a romantic evening is planned. Unfortunately, life with two little boys around tends to throw some wrenches in your lifeâeven on special nights like this.
Note: I cannot believe itâs been a year since I posted the first part of As You Wish. It was only intended to be this spicy one shot but so many people asked for a part 2 andâŚhere we are! I canât thank all of you enough for reading. It means more to me than you know đ

[As You Wish masterlist]
One whole year has passed of you being with Eddie. One year since the night heâd come home sullen after what was supposed to be a nice evening out, only to find that his deepest desire was right there waiting for him on the worn blue couch in his living room.Â
Honestly, it was the night both of your wishes came true. Such dark secrets you each harbored, never thinking that the other could possibly return the feelings. Â You, thinking he wouldnât see you as anything more than a babysitter for his two kids. Him, thinking youâd never be interested in a man over a decade older than you. The spark finally lit the flame though, leading to the best year of your lives. The best year of the boysâ lives as well. Neither you nor Eddie had ever seen the kids in all around better moods than this past yearâand thatâs even with the divorce and custody proceedings.Â
A romantic date night was planned for the one year anniversary, a date that came with some discussion at first. You had brought up that you werenât a fan of having your anniversary with Eddie on the same day that was his wedding anniversary with Brittany. Eddie was quick to assure you that this had just been the night he and Brittany were able to get out and celebrate their anniversaryânot the actual day itself.Â
âPretty sure the fun you and I had that night went past midnight, into the next day anyway,â Eddie added with a smirk.
So, the evening was planned. An intimate dinner out together while Ryan has a sleepover at his friend Charlieâs house and Luke spends the night with Wayne.Â
Even though you didnât officially live with the Munson men yet, you did spend more time than not at their apartment. A drawer in Eddieâs dresser contained a stash of your clothes, a toothbrush sat right next to Eddieâs by the sink, and if you werenât spending the night, the boys would call up at bedtime to say goodnight to you anyway. So, it made perfect sense for you to get ready at the apartment so you and Eddie could just go together to drop Luke off and Wayneâs and then be on your way to the restaurant.Â
Youâre in Eddieâs room, leaning over his dresser to get a better look at your face in the mirror as you apply eyeliner. Eddie is wearing black dress pants with a gray shirt that make you want to rip them right off. Heâs currently securing his hair in a low bun as you do your best not to stab yourself in the eye with the stubby little black pencil.Â
Just as you finish applying mascara, you hear the soft pitter-patter of Lukeâs feet headed towards the master bedroom.Â
âI frew up.â
âOh, Christ,â Eddie mumbles under his breath, swiveling on one heel. âWhat happened?â
Luke shrugs. âMy tummy hurt and then I frew up. But I got most of it in the toilet; wanna see?â
Eddie just looks at you, twisting the mascara wand back into the tube, then back at his son.Â
âMost of it?â Eddie asks.
âMhm.â Luke scampers back to the bathroom, and you and Eddie follow reluctantly.Â
Both you and your boyfriend were expecting the smell to be worse as you step into the bathroom. Your eyes are on the ground, making sure not to step in anything Luke wasnât able to get in the toilet.Â
The sick mess in the toiletâand around itâis bright red.Â
âShit.â Eddie scoops up Luke, not caring that thereâs now vomit on his dress shirt. âLuke, did you have any fruit snacks today at lunch? Gushers or Fruit Roll-Ups or something like that?â
The little boy shakes his head. âJust a chocolate chip cookie.â
Eddie looks at you, horrified. Itâs the first time youâve ever seen true fear in Eddieâs eyes, and it curdles your own stomach.Â
âWe have to get him to the hospital,â Eddie says. His tone is urgent, but not panicked. The last thing you need is for Luke to start freaking out.Â
You nod in reply, already heading out into the hall, grabbing all three of your coats from the closet and tucking them under your arm.Â
Luke is clearly confused. He keeps looking back and forth between you and his father, his little brow pinching together.Â
âWhy are we going to the hopsital?â he asks. âI feel good!â
Famous last words, Eddie thinks. He needs both hands and feet to count the number of times his kids have claimed that they werenât sick just moments before they inevitably crashed.Â
Neither you nor your boyfriend know how to respond to Luke, so you silently help him into his coat while Eddie shrugs on his own. The keys clang as Eddie takes them off a peg by the front door and tosses them your way. Then he picks up a still-confused Luke and heads out the door.
You drive while Eddie sits in the backseat with Luke. Itâs quite obvious you two adults are more stressed out than the six-year-old is. Both of you keep checking in on him but thereâs no deviation from the usual Luke-ness that you know and love.Â
âHow do you feel?â you ask, glancing at Luke in the rear view mirror.
âIâm hungry; can we get McDonalds?â
When you arrive at the emergency room, you pick up Luke to carry so Eddie can go ahead and alert the employees at the intake desk of whatâs going on.Â
The biting February wind stings your nose and cheeks as you cross the parking lot, but Luke keeps chatting away as though itâs just a regular evening.
âDid you know that birds feed their babies by frowing up in their beaks?â
âWow, you know so many things,â you manage, trying to tamper your nausea and nerves.
âThatâs like if you chewed up my chicken nuggets and spit them into my mouth.â
âYup, Iâve got the visual.â
Secretly, your insides warm up, flattered that he considers you the âmommy bird.â
âMy teacher got pooped on by a bird today, but she didnât even notice.â
He continues talking through the whole process: waiting, triage, until heâs assigned a room and asked to wear a hospital gown. The moment you step out of the room to give him some privacy, it feels as if the world outside the small room has gone silent, save for the occasional beep from medical instruments. Now itâs too quiet without Lukeâs chattering. Needing to do something besides just standing there, full of nervous energy, you walk down the hall to find a payphone and call Wayne to let him know whatâs going on.Â
Back in the room, Eddie is trying to get his nerves under control. Nothingâs wrong, he tries to assure himself. And even if there wasâwhich there isnâtâheâs in the best possible place he could be and surrounded by professionals who probably see all sorts of things far worse than whatever this might be.Â
âWhere are the pants?â Luke asks, looking like a dog chasing its tail as he tries to get a look at the back of the gown.Â
âNo pants,â Eddie tells him as he ties the strings together in the back for him. Thereâs a soft knock on the door and Eddie tugs it open.Â
You step back into the room and Luke grins and holds his arms out at his sides.
âLook! Iâm wearing a dress just like you!â
Despite the seriousness of the visit, you canât help but smile. Though your purple A-line dress looks nothing like the white gown covered in blue dots that heâs wearing.Â
âNow youâre my twin instead of Daddyâs,â you tease.
That makes Luke giggle, and he sits down on the bed, dangling his short legs over the side. It isnât long before Luke is taken back for tests, most of which Eddie is allowed to accompany him for. You know thatâs probably bringing far more comfort to Eddie than Luke at the moment.Â
You wait back in the room, anxious thoughts getting the better of you now that youâre alone and have time for your brain to wander. There are a bunch of brochures spread out on a table, so you decide to flip through some of them, keep your mind busy. None of them seem relevant to any medical issue youâll ever have; then again, you never pictured yourself rushing a kid to the hospital for bloody puke, so you plunk down with a booklet on goiters. It mentions scurvy, which reminds you of Luke, and you have to stifle your amusement before you become known as the Woman Who Laughs at Goiters.Â
The nurse brings Luke and Eddie back to the room, along with an old coloring book and some crayons. Artist that he is, Luke is already eyeing the different colors to see which one heâll want to use first.
âItâll be another hour until we have all the results,â the nurse announces somewhat apologetically.Â
Eddie manages a weak smile as he plops into his chair. You reach over and slide your hand into his. A gentle squeeze greets your touch, and you give him one back in reassurance.Â
Finally making his decision, Luke plucks a red crayon out of the box.Â
âDid you know that these donât taste like cherry?â
Everyoneâincluding this poor nurseâstares at him.
âLuke,â Eddie starts, âwhy would you think it tastes like cherry?â
âEvan Holloway said it did,â Luke replies absentmindedly as he starts to color a fire truck, âbut I think he was just kidding, because it tasted gross.â
Eddie bites back a comment about how the kid didnât stand a chance at being nice with parents like Heather Holloway and Billy Hargrove. Itâs not the time or place though.
âWhen did you eat the crayon?â You investigate further.
âToday during arts and crafts,â he says, tongue poking out of his lips as he concentrates on the drawing at hand.Â
You and Eddie both look at the nurse apologetically.
âWhen I asked you about what you ate today that was red, why didnât you mention the crayon?â Eddieâs teeth are gritted as he tries to maintain his composure.Â
âYou asked about fruit snacks, not crayons.â He pauses and looks up from his coloring book. âBut donât worry; I took the paper off first.â
âOh, good.â Eddie rolls his eyes, and you put your hand on his shoulder.Â
Lukeâs confessionâand subsequent perfect test resultsâallow him to be discharged. He falls asleep in the car almost as soon as Eddie puts it in drive and leaves the parking lot.Â
The ride home is draped in comfortable, relaxing silence. After hours of machines incessantly beeping, doctors checking in, and Luke whining about his boredom, the quiet is certainly welcome. At least now thereâs a massive weight off of your and Eddieâs shoulders.
The little boy doesnât even stir when you arrive at home, so Eddie carries him into the apartment and to his room, gently tucking him into bed.Â
âGânight, crazy kid,â he says with a soft laugh. He kisses his forehead, and you do the same before you both head to your own bedroom.Â
âBaby, Iâm so tiredââ Eddie starts, the two of you practically collapsing onto the queen-sized mattress.Â
You muster up a nod. âMe, too, Eds.âÂ
âRaincheck on me rocking your world?â he smirks, leaning in and kissing your nose.Â
âSounds like a plan.â
âIâm home!â
Ryanâs excited voice jolts you awake; when you glance at the clock, itâs only a bit after 7 AM. Charlieâs mom mustâve been eager to end the sleepover.Â
Eddie pushes himself up on an elbow and cracks one eye open. âWait, Ry; how did you get in the house?â He didnât have a spare key, and Eddie always made sure the doors were locked at night.Â
Ryan shrugs. âI rang the buzzer and Luke let me in.â
Eddie groans and lets out a yawn. Heâll have to remind his youngest son about making sure an adult knows someoneâs coming into the house, but he doesnât have the energy now. Instead, he focuses on Ryan. âYa have fun at Charlieâs?â
âYeah!â he chirps. âWe hadââÂ
You slowly sit up, trying to keep your temper at being woken up. âCan we hear this story over breakfast, Ry?â
He agrees and bounds into the kitchen, you and Eddie sleepily trailing behind.Â
Luke is already halfway through a bowl of Frosted Flakes when the three of you walk out to the kitchen.Â
âRyan!â he shouts, way too loud for this early in the morning. Cereal sprays everywhere, and he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. âI went to the hospital last night!âÂ
Ryanâs eyes nearly pop out of his head. âWhat?!â
âYeah! I just told Grandpa about it.â
Eddie frowns in confusion. âWhen did you talk to Grandpa?â He grabs a bowl from the pantry and pours himself some cereal. Nothing sugary like the boys eat; those days are behind him.Â
âI just called him before when I woke up,â Luke says with a shrug.
You throw some Eggos in the toaster for Ryan while the boys both regale you with their respective tales. Luke manages to make it sound much more fun than it actually was last night, tapping into his fatherâs knack for storytelling. Part of you is surprised thereâs no supernatural elements to this tale.Â
A little later in the day thereâs a knock on the door. Eddie turns the knob and is surprised to see Wayne on the other side. He raises his eyebrows as he regards the older man.Â
âWhat are you doing here?â he asks before realizing how that sounded. âI mean, hi.â
âI told Luke I was coming over,â Wayne says, nodding to the younger boy coming up behind his father.Â
Eddie looks at the boy as he closes the door behind Wayne.Â
âLuke, you never told me that.â
âYou didnât ask.â
Even though he already told him on the phone, Luke once again laments the events of last night to his grandfather. Once heâs done, Ryan tells Wayne all about his sleepover at Charlieâs last night.Â
When he finally gets a moment to talk to you and Eddie without the rugrats around, Wayne offers to take the boys for the rest of the day and overnight so the two of you can have a do over on your anniversary date.
âYou sure, Old Man?â Eddie asks.
âPositive. Iâll just keep âem away from crayons.â
The moment the three of them leave, Eddie locks the door behind them and grabs your hand to drag you into the bedroom.
âEds!â
âOh, right; where are my manners?â Eddie admonishes himself. âI should take you out to eat first.â He heads into the kitchen and fishes the brochure for your go-to Chinese restaurant. Not even needing to ask you, he orders your favorites before hanging up and turning back to you. âNow, time for my meal.â Thereâs a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. âIf you donât cum in thirty minutes, your next orgasm is free.â
The moment your back lands on the bed, he tugs off your pants and panties and buries himself between your legs. Thereâs time for slow and romantic later, you both need each other now.
âThis pussy is perfect, goddamn.â
Any response is futile as words have left your brain the second Eddieâs tongue flicks over your clit. He does it over and over again, causing your abdomen muscles to tighten and your fists grip the blanket below you.Â
You let your eyes fall closed and lose yourself in the feeling of Eddie sucking on your clit. He knows the exact speeds and pressures to get you where he wants you, changing it up in the most pleasurable of ways. As your back arches off the bed at a particularly harsh suck, Eddie slips two fingers into your waiting hole, meeting no resistance. Being stretched by and filled with Eddie just has you that much closer to hitting your high.Â
Eddie pumps his fingers in time with his licks and it isnât long before you feel that familiar heat building up in your body. Your boyfriend must be able to sense this as well, because he curls his fingers up against your walls as his tongue continues to flick over your sensitive bundle of nerves. Itâs enough to have you seeing stars. Part of you wants it to last longer, but you know Eddie will do this again and again for you if you ask. The thought of him wanting to make you feel good and wanting your body so much is the push you need into oblivion.
âFuck! Oh shit, Eddie,â you whine, a hand going down to grip his hair. âIâmâIâm coming.â
Eddie knows how to extract every last wave of pleasure from you as he works you through the orgasm. This heâll take his time with, after being in such a haste to get you off. You feel boneless as you lay on the bed, utterly wrecked from your boyfriendâs thick fingers and sinful mouth.Â
You whine as Eddie slips his fingers from your pussy, but the whine turns into a moan when he pops them into his mouth. Itâs suddenly given you a burst of energy.
âMy turn,â you say, giving him a salacious grin.Â
Eddie flings his shirt into an abyss of laundry and rolls onto his back so you can trail kisses down his torso. He giggles when your fingers brush against his stomach as you unbuckle his belt and tug his pants off. His erection springs free, already leaking pre-cum from getting you off.Â
âSuch a pretty cock, Eds,â you muse, your lips tenderly touching the head. âAnd itâs all mine, huh?â
âY-Yup,â his breath hitches. âAll yours; please, please suck it for me.â
You happily obligeâas if there was any doubt that you wouldâlicking from base to tip with a flattened tongue. His thighs twitch at the contact, the movement punctuated with a low groan. You never knew how much you appreciated a vocal man until youâd slept with Eddie. Now itâs a goal of yours to get him to make as much noise as possible.
âOh, princess,â he growls, fingers twisting in the sheets. âBaby girl.â
Your hand grasps the part of him that doesnât fit in your mouth, leaving no square inch of his cock untouched in some way. You wantâno, you needâto make him feel good. Thinking back to that first time together, fueled by lust, but also a desire for one another. A longing that had burned steady in both of you. Eddie could have waited up for Brittany and had lackluster sex; you could have hooked up with that guy from your anthropology class whoâs always checking you out. But that wouldnât have been satisfying; you craved Eddie and Eddie craved you. It was impossible to satisfy that urge any other way.
He bucks his hips gently now, his signal that heâs close. You pump him faster, grip him tighter, until heâs spilling into your mouth and down your chin.Â
Once youâre satisfied that youâve milked everything you can from him, you pull off and swallow his load. Eddie manages just enough strength to lift his head up as he attempts to catch his breath. His eyes darken as he watches you lick your lips and wipe off the cum that drooled out onto your chin and pop it in your mouth.Â
âGod damn,â Eddie breathes out.Â
You share in that sentiment. This fast and rough sex is exactly what the two of you needed after such a scary and stressful evening last night.
The doorbell rings and your boyfriend flops his head back down, his curls spilling around his pillow like a halo.Â
âWant me to get it?â you offer, pushing yourself off the bed.
âUh uh,â Eddie tuts. He haphazardly reaches over the side of the bed to search for his boxers. âOnly I get to see you looking this wrecked.â A playful wink is thrown your way as Eddie sits up. He hops off the bed and slips on his boxers, sweats, and an old Deep Purple t-shirt. âYou get dressed, baby.âÂ
âDonât wanna,â you say with a pout.Â
It makes Eddie chuckle, and he presses a kiss to the side of your head before reaching for the knob on the bedroom door.
âDonât worry, we can take them off again later.â
Eddie strolls out of the room, and you raid your drawer in his dresser. Thereâs an old pair of jeans shoved in the back that you pull out and hop into those while you scoop one of Eddieâs old Hellfire shirts that he let you cut and customize to your likingâa true sign of love right thereâlaying over the arm of a chair.Â
When you meet Eddie in the living room, heâs unpacking your food into the coffee table. Thereâs a pile of VHS tapes in the corner of the room, and though most of them are the kidsâ, you manage to find Benny & Joon and pop that into the player.Â
The moment you plop down on the couch next to Eddie, he wraps his arm around your hips and tugs your body up against his.Â
âItâs difficult to eat with one hand, you know,â you tell him when he doesnât move his arm.
âIâll deal.â
Somehow, he doesâeven if it causes a bit of a mess on the couch and coffee table.
Eddie swallows a mouth full of rice and turns to look at you. His eyes take in your profile, the expression on his face turning to adoring almost instantly.
âIâm really grateful that you were there with me last night,â he admits, voice softer and more serious than usual. âI donât know if I wouldâve been able to handle that without you.â
The way that you look at him from beneath your eyelashes takes his breath away. He gets just as stunned by your beauty now as he did when he opened the front door that first time he met you.
âYes, you couldâve,â you assure him. âYouâre stronger than you think, Eddie. But Iâm glad you didnât have to do it alone. Thereâs nowhere Iâd rather have been at the moment than with you. WellâŚIâd have liked not to have had to go to the hospital at all, but you know.â
Eddie chuckles and shakes his head. âTurns out we didnât need to anyway.â Your boyfriend sighs and runs a hand over his face. âGod, Lukeâs gonna kill me someday.â
âKill you with his cuteness, you mean.â
âYou mean because he looks just like me?â Eddie asks, a cocky smirk dancing on his lips.
âOf course,â you say with a chuckle. You lean in and press your lips to Eddieâs, resting your hand on his chest.
âYou mean the world to me,â Eddie whispers against your lips. He knows heâs told you that many times, in many different ways. But itâs because he needs you to know how true it is. Having a partner who he can count on and trust with his lifeâwith his sonâs lives. Itâs new to him, and even after a year, it surprises him every day how much you do for him and the boys. Your kindness and your heart are bottomless, heâs decided. And though he has no clue how he got so lucky, heâs not about to question it.
âI feel the same way about you,â you reply, also in a soft tone. Eddie always tells you the way that you make his life better, but he tends to brush you off when you try to do the same. He believes you deserve more than him, but he doesnât realize there isnât any more than him. He is everything.
âI canât believe weâve been together a year,â Eddie says. Sometimes it feels like it went by in the blink of an eye, but when he thinks about all the shit the two of you have had to overcome, he thinks that a year feels about right.
âBest year ever,â you say. âEven dealing with a certain psycho couldnât ruin it.â You donât want to mention Brittany by name, but you need to let him know that youâd do it all over time and time again despite her and all the bullshit.
âAw, come on. Ryanâs not that bad,â Eddie jokes. You giggle and bury your face in his neck. Electricity sparks where your skin rests against his and Eddie wraps you up in his arms. âHappy anniversary, baby. I love you much.â
âI love you too,â you murmur against his skin. You go to wish him a happy anniversary as well, but Eddieâs loud growling stomach steals your thunder and sends you into another round of giggles. âWould you like some of my food?â
âGod, youâre perfect.â
Not five minutes after the two of you finish your food, Eddie has you on your back, his body resting comfortably on top of yours as you makeout. The kisses are slow and passionate, taking your time to explore one anotherâs mouths. Hands roam each otherâs bodies, some soft touches and some rough grabsâall of it possessive.
Needing air, Eddie pulls his mouth from yours and begins to trail hot, open-mouthed kisses down your neck. Strong fingers dig into your hips as you lift your own hands to tangle in his soft curls.
âBedroom?â Eddie growls against your skin.
âNo,â you say, wrapping your legs around the manâs hips to keep him where he is. âWant you here.â
âMm, whatever my princess wants,â Eddie mutters, punctuating it by grazing your jaw with his teeth. Slowly, he sits up, bringing you with him until youâre seated comfortably in his lap.
You shiver, his tongue warm against your neck and hands strong on your back and sides. Itâs as though you canât be close enough to him, your hips rolling to create a friction that has both of you aroused.Â
Eddie unbuttons your jeans disapprovingly. âDonât know why you even bothered to put these back on,â he tuts, apparently forgetting that he was the one who told you to. âNow I gotta rip âem off again. Making this harder than it needs to be.â
âTell me more about making things harder,â you tease, grinding against his stiff length with the intent of feeling him through your panties.Â
âYouâre trouble,â he murmurs into your mouth, a smile twitching on his lips. âI fuckinâ love it.â
Your pants get shrugged down your legs, not even making it all the way off, and your lace thong gets pushed over slightly to expose your pussy. Eddie pulls himself out of his boxers and runs his cock along your soaked core before aligning himself with your entrance.Â
âThaâs it,â he moans as you sink onto him, taking every inch within your walls. âFuck, you know exactly what I want.â
You bite your lip and nod. Itâs as though your brain clicks off when he first enters you, your head filled only with thoughts of Eddie Eddie Eddie.Â
Once you regain some semblance of sanity, you hold onto his biceps and bounce on his cock, the tip hitting your sweet spot over and over. âSo bigâso full,â you manage, eyes rolling back as he thrust up into you.Â
âThatâs right; youâre fuckinâ full of me,â he grits out, fingers digging into the flesh of your ass. âAnd Iâm gonna pump you full of my cum, too.â
You nod before gently biting down on his shoulder. âPlease. Want your cum.â
âI know you do, princess. Because Iâve gotta fill you with my cum to knock you up, donât I?â
You can only whimper in response, but that isnât satisfactory for your boyfriend.Â
âWords, princess.â
âWant you to knock me up!â It comes out in one pathetic breath.Â
His thrusts become more frantic, needier. âOh, I donât think you want it,â he goads. âI think you need it. I think you need me to get you pregnant, so you can show off that you fuckinâ belong to meâand only me.â
Tears form along your lash line; your orgasm is so close, but you know he can withhold your pleasure if you donât answer him. âNeed your baby,â you whisper. âNeed everyone to know Iâm yours.â
âGod fuckinâ damn.â The thought of you swollen with pregnancy has him unhinged, his thumb circling your clit as his own release nears. âGonna fuck you so full.â
You clench around him, chanting his name while you cum. He follows, holding down your hips so he can slam into you and give you every last drop.Â
A string of breathy whines leaves your lips as you lower your head down to Eddieâs shoulder. His grip on you softens and slowly glides up your body until one hand trails up and down your back and the other cups the back of your head.Â
âHow was that?â he murmurs.
âFucking amazing and you know it,â you mumble against his shoulder.Â
Eddie chuckles and you pick your head up to press your lips against his.Â
âDonât wanna move,â you say with a sigh.
âI know, sweetheart,â Eddie coos. âJust want to keep me inside of you forever, donât you?â
As hard as he just made you cum, you shouldnât get so instantly turned on by his words and teasing tone. And though he may be teasing, he is also absolutely correct.Â
You push against his chest playfully and reluctantly move yourself off of his lap. As gracefully as you can manageâwhich isnât veryâyou lay back down on the couch. A trickle down the inside of your thigh tells you that Eddieâs cum is escaping. Your boyfriend seems to notice this just as you do.
âAbsolutely not,â he says as uses two fingers to shove it back into you.Â
The feeling has your eyes fluttering closed as you let your muscles relax into the cushions.Â
âAh, shit,â Eddie says.
âWhat?â you ask, forcing your eyes open. Eddieâs looking down and you follow his line of sight to see that some of his cum got away from both of you and landed on your jeans. âOh, itâs okay. Theyâreâhuh.â
A giggle begins to bubble up out of you and Eddie raises an eyebrow in question.
âEds, these are the same jeans I was wearing that night,â you tell him.
âOur first night?â
âYeah,â you say. âI couldnât find them when I went to get dressed. Someone else did though and threw them in my face.â You chuckle at the memory. âI didnât even remember I had these jeans stashed here at your place.âÂ
âAnd as nice as they are,â Eddie drawls, crawling on top of your body, âI think you look far better without them on. Or any pants. Or any clothes.â
You smirk up at him and drape your arms around his neck. âWhat do you say we make some new stains, then?â
