The soft orange light of a spring sunrise filtered into the room behind your eyelids, and for one hazy, wonderful moment, you drifted in the contentment that only comes from the liminal space between sleeping and waking. You were ensconced in warm blankets and the smell of earth and sunshine, and you wanted to live in that moment as long as possible.

Then, an almost gentle throbbing began behind your temple, a headache blooming to life as you slipped further into waking. Unbidden, memories from the night before flooded into your mind and you had to bite back a pained groan.

You’d had far too much to drink after work. Or, rather, you’d had too many beers for how exhausted you’d been after your particularly long and terrible shift. But you’d been riding high on surviving the day from hell, and it had been a pleasantly warm evening. And Dr. Jack Abbot had been there.

It had felt like some kind of small miracle—to get to share a couple drinks with the med students, doctors and nurses in the park across the street from the hospital. You hadn’t been the only one laughing too loudly, as if grasping onto the relief of making it through the day, because the alternative was sinking into the darkness.

You’d known that if you’d gone home and dragged yourself into your cold, lifeless apartment that you never had time or energy to decorate, you’d have ended up crying yourself to sleep. Instead, you’d accepted the invitation from your attending, Dr. Michael Robinavitch—Dr. Robby—and joined the others for a drink.

The amber glow of the lamplights lining the paths of the park had been welcoming beacons, and you’d felt the weight of the world slowly slip from your shoulders as you accepted a can of beer, letting the conversation flow around you. As everyone talked, sharing stories from the day, things hadn’t seemed so bleak. 

So you’d lingered in the park long after you should’ve gone home, drinking far more than you should’ve considering how exhausted you were, and letting your eyes drift to Dr. Jack Abbot far more often than they should’ve. You couldn’t help it, though. You’d been drawn to the night shift attending ever since you met him at the start of your first day shift. 

You were Dr. Robby’s resident, and he was a capable mentor—firm when he needed to be, and kind when you needed it. You’d gained a lot working with Dr. Robby on the day shift, and you’d become a much better doctor learning from him and everyone else in the ER.

Yet you couldn’t help but be intrigued by Dr. Jack Abbot. You’d always admired the older, silver-haired doctor, the way he carried himself, coming in as your shift was ending and taking over easily. You always knew your patients were in good hands when you gave them over to Dr. Abbot. 

He was so competent and capable, and always so calm, even on the busiest nights in the ER. He was like a rock in the middle of a raging, tumultuous storm. Strong and steady. Safe. 

And you wanted to climb Dr. Jack Abbot like a tree, to live in his strong and steady embrace, to allow his presence to keep you safe and sane. You wanted him to be your safe harbor—and to be his, too. You wanted to be the person he’d come home to and slip into bed with, and trust to keep him safe and sane. 

In the park, under the amber lamplights, your thoughts had drifted to the idea of sliding into bed with Dr. Jack Abbot, curling your body around his beneath warm blankets, and sleeping the entire day away as you lay entwined together. You imagined waking up together, warm skin and gentle hands, soft kisses giving way to something more…

You hadn’t realized you were staring until light brown eyes caught yours and you’d startled back into the moment, heat rising up your neck and blooming in your cheeks. You’d known you should look away, but you hadn’t been able to, not with the electric tension thrumming between the two of you like a livewire.

Dr. Jack Abbot was as calm as ever, holding your gaze for a long moment. 

His eyes were dark and inscrutable in the dim light of the park, but you noticed a glint in his gaze that made the breath catch in your throat. There was something in his eyes, something like wanting, which had your heart beating harder against your sternum and warmth pulsing between your thighs. 

Then he’d tipped his can of beer toward you and dipped his head, giving you a nod while a smirk flickered at the edges of his mouth. Something in you had fluttered, low in your belly, and you’d wanted to squirm. You’d wanted to throw yourself at him, hold his face in your hands and kiss him until you were both panting and needy.

Instead you’d looked away and taken a sip of your beer, wondering if you’d imagined the warmth and hunger hidden deep in his gaze. You’d told yourself it must’ve been a trick of the dark amber light, the result of too much exhaustion, too much beer, and too many dirty thoughts about Dr. Jack Abbot.

The night had gone on, time unspooling slowly and leisurely the way it never did in the ER, and you’d drifted along on the current of conversation ebbing and flowing around you. 

You’d tried not to look back at Dr. Abbot too often, but couldn’t help yourself. More often than not, though, you found him already looking at you, that ghost of a smile on his face and that look in his eye that had you questioning your sanity.

At some point, you’d ended up on a bench between Dr. Robby and Dr. Abbot, listening as the men commended the work you’d done in the ER that evening. Their words of praise had flitted in one ear and out the other, even as you nodded along like you were paying close attention. 

The smile on your face had everything to do with their praise, and nothing to do with Dr. Abbot’s warmth seeping into your side—at least, that’s what you’d told yourself.

Your memories got hazier from there. You remembered your cheek falling against Dr. Abbot’s shoulder, and staying there as your eyes slid closed; deft fingers gently prying the half-empty can from your hands; the smell of beer and something earthy, like moss; the deep rumbling of Dr. Robby and Dr. Abbot’s voices as they talked over your head.

You hadn’t blacked out—you hadn’t had that much to drink—but the rest of the evening was too hazy to make out in your mind. You’d been so tired from working a 15-hour shift, and the alchohol had only exacerbated your exhaustion, leaving you to fall asleep on Dr. Abbot’s shoulder. 

You remembered breathing in the smell of him, an earthy scent that reminded you of hiking in the woods on a bright, sunny day. It was the same scent you were surrounded by in the morning light, your eyes still stubbornly closed as a headache throbbed behind your temple. 

Rolling over and pressing your face into your pillow, you took a deep breath. The fabric smelled so much like Dr. Jack Abbot that it made your head spin with confusion. 

Even as your mind reeled, your body responded to the scent of him, the memory of his caramel brown eyes. You could perfectly picture the way his freckled arms flexed when he crossed them, his t-shirt sleeves hugging his biceps lovingly—the way you wanted to.

Heat cascaded gently down from the crown of your head, coasting down your spine and pooling between your thighs. Even with the slight edge of a hangover at the periphery of your mind, you couldn’t help the way your body yearned for the ER’s night shift attending, wanting him so badly it ached.

Your heart and your body wanted Dr. Jack Abbot. You wanted the older doctor who could be your rock, your light in the darkness, your safe harbor. And neither your heart nor your body would settle for anything less.

Your fingers were just beginning to slip down your stomach, trailing toward the needy, throbbing place between your thighs, when the soft click of a door opening sounded beyond the bed. Your eyes flew open for the first time that morning and, for one disorienting moment, you had no idea where you were.

The orange light of dawn was familiar enough, but the bedsheets and pillows looked nothing like your own. Flipping onto your back and sitting up quickly, you ignored the annoying pang of your headache to peer toward the door.

A sigh of relief gusted from your lips when you found Dr. Jack Abbot framed in the doorway, his brow creased with concern as he raked his eyes over you, as if checking for injury or illness. 

You took the moment to look around the room, taking in the comfortable, masculine decor. Warm wooden furniture occupied the space, with plants positioned around the room in places that you were sure got the most light. A thriving monstera sat in a pot beside the dresser, a goldfish in a glass bowl on top of the wooden ledge.

On the floor next to the open door, there was a camouflage backpack, the only thing that appeared to be out of place. You recognized that backpack as the one Dr. Abbot always wore on his way into work.

Suddenly, your sleep hazy brain caught up and you realized you were in Dr. Abbot’s apartment—you were in his bedroom. In his bed. 

The soft sheets of Dr. Abbot’s bed slid against your bare legs as you brought them up to your chest, his warm, orange duvet draped around your waist. It was the same color as the sunrise that lay beyond the windows, which were half covered in blackout curtains, like he wasn’t sure which way you’d prefer them. 

It was all—all of it—almost too much for your mind to process. The headache behind your temples pounded a little harder as your body caught up to your sudden change of position, and you winced.

The expression of pain on your face seemed to spur Dr. Abbot into moving.

“You’re up,” he said, his voice low and soft like he was trying not to startle you. He padded to the bedside table beside you and set down a glass of water. “Do you remember how you got here?” he asked in that same tone, which you recognized as the one he used as patients. 

You frowned as you watched Dr. Abbot open a bottle of aspirin and shake two pills into his hand. You tried to think of an answer that didn’t make you seem like a silly lightweight of a resident as you plucked the medecine from his palm when he held it out to you. 

A shiver raced down your spine when your fingertips brushed Dr. Abbot’s warm, calloused skin, delightful tingles dancing along your nerves. You attempted to hide your reaction in a shake of your head, answering his question silently. But you couldn’t hide the way your shoulders trembled, so you busied yourself with taking the pills. 

Thankfully, your hand was steady as you reached for the glass on the bedside table and swallowed the aspirin with a gulp of water. The cool water felt like salvation to your parched throat, and you ended up drinking the whole glass before you could even think to stop yourself. 

When you were done, your found Dr. Abbot watching you, a hint of a pleased smile in the twist of his lips and pride in the glint of his gaze. You had the wild thought that if he looked at all his patients that way, you understood why his satisfaction scores were so high. 

He took the glass from you, his fingers brushing against yours, the movement feeling more deliberate than before. You were grateful when he turned away to set the glass down, because your shoulders trembled with another shiver at the electricity in his light touch.

“You fell asleep in the park,” Dr. Abbot explained in a voice that was endlessly patient and calm as he set the glass down. You noticed your phone beside it on the bedside table, plugged in and charging. “You were so exhausted, we couldn’t send you home on your own. My place was closest.”

Dr. Abbot straightened as he gave his explanation, arms crossing over his chest and staring down at you in a way that made you squirm. He didn’t look disappointed or disapproving, just concerned. And the knowledge that he cared enough to be concerned sent your heart pitter-pattering inside your ribcage.

“Thanks for taking care of me, Dr. Abbot,” you murmured, dropping your gaze to your fingers, which were twisting in the blanket on your lap. “Yesterday was…difficult.” 

“Jack, please,” he said, his voice almost imperceptibly softer. 

Your eyes flicked up to him, looking at the silver-haired doctor from under your lashes. His smile was wry and your belly gave a happy little swoop—and that was before you heard his next words.

“You’re in my bed, you don’t need to be so formal.”

It was clear that he meant his words as a teasing kind of joke, but they only succeeded in reminding you that you’d woken up in his bed. Alone. Lamentably alone. The warmth between your thighs stoked higher, until his words fully penetrated your mind.

Your gaze drifted to the other side of the bed, which was still made with military precision. It was clear he hadn’t slept there, and you realized that meant he must’ve slept somewhere else…

“Oh god, I’m so sorry for kicking you out of your bed,” you rushed to say, looking back to Jack with wide eyes. “Where did you sleep?”

“I got a couple hours on the couch,” he answered, a little bashfully. He seemed eager to move on from the subject as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other. “You should get some more rest,” he said, unfurling his arms from his chest and reaching for your empty water glass. “Your scrubs are in the wash with mine, they should be done in a bit.”

A memory from the night before surfaced in your mind: Jack standing with his back to you as you swayed on your feet and stripped out of your scrubs—leaving you in only a tank top, bra and panties. 

You’d removed your bra and left everything in a heap on the floor before dragging yourself under the covers of his bed, snuggling deep into their warmth and his comforting scent. You were asleep before you’d even heard Jack turn around.

Not only had Dr. Jack Abbot taken you to his home so you would be safe, given up his bed so you’d have somewhere comfortable to sleep, but he was washing your scrubs for you. 

There was something about the domesticity of it that pricked at your heart. You could so easily imagine throwing your dirty scrubs into the laundry with a load of Jack’s, washing them together, working side by side to put them away in the room you shared. 

You yearned for the life you pictured—and you wanted it with Dr. Jack Abbot. 

Before you could think about what you were doing, your hand darted out. Your fingers wrapped around Jack’s wrist as he reached for the water glass on the bedside table. You could feel his pulse beneath your fingertips, strong and steady, if a little fast.

“Stay with me.” You hated how small you sounded, the desperate pleading in your voice, but your fingers wouldn’t let go. Instead, you squeezed his wrist tighter. “Please, Jack.”

For a long moment, long enough that you began to think he’d deny you, Jack just stood there. Half hunched over, his hand reaching past you, he stood and looked at you. His eyes stared deep into yours, his brows pulled together over his light brown gaze.

“Are you sure?” 

The question was rough and raspy, like he’d dredged the words up from the very depths of his soul. His eyes were bright and intense as he stared at you, his gaze searching your face for any hesitation.

The sound of his voice and the weight of his stare sent your heart fluttering, and your thighs squirmed beneath the blankets of his bed. But you weren’t uncomfortable, only eager. You were excited that he hadn’t brushed you off and denied you outright.

“I’m sure,” you said, nodding your head for good measure as you began sliding toward the center of the bed, tugging on Jack’s wrist. “I want you to stay with me. Please.”

Jack stared into your eyes for a beat longer, then nodded his head. He flipped his hand around in your fingers and squeezed your wrist before pulling away and giving you his back.

You watched the muscles shift and move beneath the white t-shirt Jack wore across his broad shoulders while his hands undid the button and fly of his dark cargo pants. Before your mind could wrap around what he was doing, he was pushing them down, revealing so much more of his pale, freckled skin below the edge of his navy boxer briefs.

Jack shucked off his pants and sat down on the corner of the bed, removing his prosthetic and massaging his leg for a moment while you watched unabashedly, unable to resist the opportunity to look your fill of the doctor you’d thought about for ages. 

You wanted to press yourself against his broad back and wrap your arms around him, clinging to his warmth and burying your face between his shoulder blades. You wanted to hold him and take comfort in him, you wanted to be connected to him.

Looking over his shoulder and breaking you from your thoughts, Jack caught your eye and you could see the question in his gaze. His quirked eyebrows were asking again if you were certain you wanted him to join you.

A smile curled the corners of your mouth and instead of answering him with words, you flipped down the corner of the blankets in a clear invitation. He held your gaze for another moment, but when you remained steady and smiling, he pushed himself up and slipped between the sheets.

Immediately, you felt his warmth and you let out a happy little sound while he settled on his back against the pillows—the same ones you’d pressed your face into after you’d woken up. You waited until he’d gotten comfortable, his gaze finding yours.

His light brown eyes, looking like warm caramel in the soft, tangerine light of morning, were a wondrous sight. It was a miracle, the way he looked at you in that moment, letting you see the hesitant hope in his eyes. 

Slowly, as if seeking permission with every tiny movement, you slid closer to him. With a small, flickering smile, he lifted his arm, making space for you, and you slipped into it delightedly, making another happy sound. 

Your cheek lay pillowed on Jack’s chest, the soft curves of your body pressing into his side. Without questioning the impulse, you slid your leg over Jack’s, hooking it around his thigh and shifting even closer, until you were practically plastered to his body. 

Contentment settled heavily around your shoulders, and you took a deep breath, letting Jack’s earthy, sunshiny scent fill your senses and comfort you. As you exhaled, your body softened and you snuggled deeper into the older doctor’s chest.

Jack’s arm wrapped around your shoulders, his fingers settling on the bare skin of your arm, and you made another delighted noise. His fingertips trailed lazily up and down your arm, like he was learning the softness of your skin, and he made a rumble in his chest that sounded content.

“Are you comfortable?” he asked, his voice even deeper and raspier than you’d ever heard it.

The tenor of Jack’s voice sent little sparks of desire dancing down your spine to settle between your thighs. He wasn’t using the voice he used on his patients anymore, and you couldn’t be happier that you were seeing a new side to him, one you suspected few ever got to see.

“Mhm, sooo comfortable,” you mumbled, hiding an elated grin in his chest. 

It was true, you’d never been more comfortable, but you couldn’t seem to ignore the restless need in your body. You squirmed a little against Jack’s side, like you were trying to find an even better position, and all the while enjoying the feeling of his thigh pressing between your legs.

A soft, bitten-off whine squeezed from your throat and you shifted even closer to the older doctor, needing more of him pressed against more of you. 

“Jack,” you whimpered, your fingers fisting in his cotton t-shirt while your hips writhed against his side, your body searching for something you couldn’t quite grasp.

“You need something, angel?” Jack asked, a teasing lilt in his voice. When you lifted your head to pout at him, his eyes were hooded, and his mouth was curved into a knowing smirk. “You need some help before you can settle down and sleep?”

The hint of patronizing teasing in his tone was like a drug, making your mind go hazy and soft while your body melted in his strong arms. Your lashes fluttered as you fought to keep your eyes open, biting your lip while heat flooded your cheeks.

You didn’t trust your voice, so you nodded in answer to Jack’s question. 

Jack’s eyes dipped to your mouth, the warmth in your face cascading down your body until it settled heavily between your thighs. You could feel yourself growing damp, your nipples hardening and pressing against the thin fabric of your tank top. 

But all you could do was stare at Jack’s mouth, framed by grizzled cheeks and freckled skin. How many times had you thought about kissing that mouth? Too many times to count. And you could hardly breathe when it seemed you might finally get to make your dreams come true.

Slowly—oh, so slowly, Jack’s hand came up and cupped your jaw, his head rising from the pillows as you leaned into him at the same time. Your mouths were drawing infinitesimally closer and closer like there was some kind of magnetic pull between them. 

He tilted your face until your mouths were aligned, and then your lips brushed his. Sparks zinged through your body and you sucked in a sharp breath at just that little touch, your exhale slipping from your lips in a keening, desperate sound. 

Whatever was left of Jack’s self-control seemed to snap, and he crushed his mouth to yours, as if intent on drinking down that needy sound while a hungry groan rumbled in his chest. Another whimper was silenced by his mouth, and you pressed even closer, like you wanted to crawl inside his heart. 

Your first kiss with Dr. Jack Abbot was hungry and greedy, with an edge of mutual adoration that made you light-headed. 

Jack’s hands on your body were strong and steady, but for the slight tremor in his fingers, his mouth careful and hot as he explored yours. When his tongue licked into your heat, dragging a moan from you, he huffed a pleased sound, angling your face so he could kiss you deeper, more thoroughly. 

Your hips rocked against the older doctor’s thigh as you tried to squirm closer, your arms wrapping around his shoulders and clinging to him while you whimpered into his mouth. Jack responded by trailing his hands down your back, curving around your ribs and dragging your body more on top of him.

“Oh god, Jack,” you panted, gasping for air while his mouth trailed kisses down the line of your neck. You tipped your head to the side, giving him more access as your wanton moans filled the room. “I’ve wanted this for so long, you have no idea.”

The confession spilling from your lips had Jack slowing, and even though you were practically on top of him, he eased back into the pillows so he could catch your eye. The light in the room was shifting from a honey orange to a golden yellow, but Jack’s eyes were still bright and warm like caramel as he stared into yours as he spoke.

“You are my heaven, my obsession, my prayer and bliss.”

The depth of emotion in his words, the evidence that he felt the same way you did, brought unexpected tears to your eyes and you cupped his face. His silvery stubble was rough against your palms as you surged forward, capturing his mouth in a rapturous kiss.

“You’re mine, too,” you mumbled against his mouth before pulling away to look at him so he could see the honesty in your gaze. “You’re my calm, my safe harbor, my happiness and heart.”

“Angel.” 

The endearment was rough and ragged, an undercurrent of pleading in Jack’s tone as he wrapped his hand around the back of your neck and pulled you in. He kissed you harder, stealing the words freely given from your lips and locking them away in his heart—just like you’d done with his.

Emotion swirled in your chest and you nearly sobbed with need at the wet slide of Jack’s tongue between your lips, your mind going hazy as an aching need pulsed between your thighs. A desperate whine built in your throat, your hips squirming clumsily against his thigh. 

Jack’s hands trailed down your spine, deviating from their path to slide beneath your tank top and curl around your ribs, his thumbs brushing the soft mounds of your tits. You huffed a needy whimper, feeling him smirk against your mouth, before his hands slid lower, his strong grip guiding your body to writhe against his thick thigh.

Your hips rocked in time with his guided movements, grinding your core against him while you whimpered into his mouth. You were so far gone in a pleasant haze of your desire, that you didn’t pay attention to what you were saying when you whined, “Daddy, please.”

There was the briefest stutter in Jack’s movements, and then his hands gripped you tighter, his thigh pressing deeper between your legs. Against your lips, his mouth curved into an indulgent smirk. 

“Please what, angel? Tell daddy what you need.” 

The patronizing teasing tone had slipped back into his voice, and it made your core throb between your thighs, a whimper escaping your lips before you could bite it back. It had been a slip of the tongue that you’d called him daddy, but to hear it echoed in his deep, raspy voice was another thing entirely. It was exactly what you needed.

Your fingers gripped his shirt tighter, your body squirming harder in his hands, rolling your hips and grinding against his thigh while you finally responded to his command.

“Need you,” you huffed, as if the answer was obvious. 

A gruff chuckle rumbled in Jack’s chest and his hand slid up your back, thumb skimming the curve of your breast so teasingly, your body chased his touch. Arching your spine, you pushed your tits against his chest, but Jack’s hand kept moving. His calloused palm followed the line of your arm until his fingers wrapped loosely around your wrist. 

Gently, he moved your hand down his front, over his soft belly, until your palm settled against the twitching bulge in his boxer briefs. He felt so thick and heavy already, even though he wasn’t fully hard yet.

“This is what you do to me, angel,” he rasped, breath ghosting over your cheek, his mouth moving against the corner of your lips. “You have me—any time, any way you want.” 

Your fingers wrapped around his girth through the soft cotton of his briefs, squeezing him gently and learning the weight of him in your hand. You stroked your palm up his length, thumb swiping over the tip and feeling the wetness of his arousal.

Jack grunted, his hips rising up off the bed to buck into your touch and the movement had his thigh flexing and pressing between your legs. You moaned into his stubbled cheek, the sound mingling with his heavy breaths as you stroked his length and rocked against him. 

“Jack.” His name was a gasp for salvation, a desperate plea on your lips that had him shuddering under your touch.

“Nuh uh, angel,” Jack chided in an endlessly warm tone, his smile pressed into the corner of your mouth. “Don’t stop calling me daddy now—not when it makes me so fucking hot for you.”

“Daddy, daddy,” you babbled breathlessly into his scruffy cheek, your desire thick in your veins at the teasing command in his tone. “I need you inside me, please—please, I need you so bad,” you whined, your fingers squeezing his cock through his boxers.

“Christ, you’ve got me, angel, just take me out,” Jack rumbled, his hips rocking up against your palm while you worked his length. 

Not needing more invitation than that, you reached into his boxers and pulled out his cock. He was still hardening and thickening beneath your touch, the velvety soft skin growing taut the tighter you stroked him. 

Jack groaned at your pleasurable attention, and the sound went straight to the slit between your thighs, your arousal leaking into your panties. You were so drenched, you were certain he could feel it against his thigh, but when you rubbed your pussy against him, he only grunted, his cock twitching in your hand.

“Want more,” you keened against Jack’s stubbled cheek, both your heads tilted to stare down your bodies and watch your hand pump adoringly up and down his length while he grew harder beneath your touch. “Want your fat cock sinking into my needy pussy, daddy, please.”

“Fuuuck,” Jack groaned, the edge in his voice almost pained. His hips bucked off the bed as he fucked into your fist, precum beading at the tip and leaking down the side, slicking your strokes. “Keep talking like that, angel, and I’m gonna blow my load before I even get inside you.”

“But daddy, we can’t have that,” you whined teasingly, laughing softly as you turned your face and pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. 

Then you were pulling away only long enough to shove your panties down over your ass and thighs, kicking them off into the sheets at the base of the bed. Once done, your hand wrapped around Jack’s cock again, greedy for the feel of him, loving the weight and warmth against your palm. 

Sliding your leg over both of Jack’s thighs, you moved your body until you were straddling his hips, your hand guiding his cock to press between the slippery folds of your slit. Your wet pussy pressing down on the length of his thick cock, your clit bumping against the ridged veins lining the shaft, had both of you moaning.

Jack cupped your jaw and guided your face back to his, his tongue sliding along your plump lower lip and licking lovingly into your mouth. He kissed you deeply, devouring your sounds of pleasure and groaning his own satisfaction like he’d never tasted anything as sweet—and he couldn’t get enough.

His other hand slid beneath the soft cotton of your tank top, his thumb brushing over your nipple and teasing the sensitive bud until it tightened into an achy, needy peak. Heat and desire pooled between your thighs, leaking from your pussy and coating his length as you rocked against him.

You broke apart only long enough for Jack to tear off your top, tossing it somewhere in the room you didn’t see because you were too busy slanting your mouth to his and greedily kissing him again. Your lips were swollen from kissing, but you couldn’t stop, you didn’t think you’d ever get enough of him.

It felt like the opposite of standing in the calm center of a storm—your body was a riot of pleasure and sensation, desperately rocking against the man between your thighs while the bedroom around you remained undisturbed, the light shifting and glowing brighter as the sun rose outside. 

And Dr. Jack Abbot was still your rock, your tether to the earth, grounding you with the rasp of his calloused hands over your soft curves, his expert fingers plucking and stroking your nipples while his hips lifted from the mattress to grind his hard cock into your cunt. 

You were so wet for him, so empty and aching, your pussy pulsed against his hard length, your desire coating him from root to tip. A sob was lodged in your throat, your hips working against his thick shaft in increasingly desperate movements. 

“Jack,” you cried, the sound pitiful even to your own ears. You needed him, you needed him more than you needed your next breath. And you knew he could hear it in the ragged edge of your voice as you sobbed his name. 

Thankfully for you, Jack Abbot was just as much of a competent, capable man as he was a doctor. He heard the anxious wanting in your tone and knew exactly how to handle you. He stroked his hands soothingly over your ribs and down your spine, cooing soft sounds of comfort against your cheek. 

“Take me inside your sweet pussy, angel,” Jack rumbled, the steel of his order softened in the honeyed warmth of his tone. “Let me feel you—need to feel your heat hugging my cock.”

“Daddy, yesss, please, can I?” you babbled, burying your face in the weathered skin of his neck. His scent was stronger there, and you huffed greedily, breathing in the smell of sunshine and earth on his skin. It filled your head with amber clouds of comfort. 

“Go on, angel, you’ve got this,” Jack murmured encouragingly, the calm warmth of his voice settling around your shoulders like the coziest blanket. He pressed a kiss to the pulse at the base of your throat, sending shivers down your spine.

“Yes, daddy,” you breathed on a exhale, shifting your hips until the tip of his cock caught at the entrance of your leaking hole. Sitting up on your knees, you lifted your hips and guided his cock to line up with your pussy. Then you pressed down determinedly.

A breathy cry burst from your lips when the fat tip of Jack’s cock pushed into your tight channel. He was thicker than anyone you’d taken before, and your heart fluttered against your ribcage in panic, the devastating thought occurring to you that he might not be able to fit.

“Oh god, fuck, you’re so big, Jack, I don’t know if I can—”

“You can take me,” Jack said firmly, interrupting your panicked babbling as he sat up to face you. He caught your wobbling chin in his steady hand and guided your eyes to look at him. “You can take me, angel,” he repeated, ducking his head and looking at you with confidence and pride written in the lines of his face. “You can do this.”

The belief Jack had in you—even about something as base as taking his cock—was enough to have tears gathering in your eyes. Your lower lip quivered and instead of giving in to the spiraling thoughts about how no one else had ever believed in you the way Jack did in that moment, you surged forward and kissed him. 

You kissed Jack Abbot the way you’d never kissed anyone before. You kissed him like he was your past, present and future, like he was the calm in the storm of your life. You kissed him like he was your safe harbor, the steady dock under your feet and the man who was your home. 

All the while, Jack kissed you in return, meeting the fervor of your lips with an adoration that had your heart singing in your chest. With every sweep of his tongue and nip of his teeth and pull of his mouth, he exulted your existence and promised devotion for as long as you’d have him. 

“Jack,” you gasped his name, wrenching your bee-stung lips from his as you pressed down further on his cock, incandescent pleasure radiating from where you were joined through the rest of your body.

“Feel so good, angel,” Jack rasped, kissing his way down the curve of your throat and past your collarbone. His mouth left goose bumps in its wake as he trailed kisses down to your chest. “More, angel, you can take more.”

Jack’s words were muffled in the plush curves of your tits, cupped in his big, strong hands. His head ducked down until his tongue was lapping at their tightened peaks, torturing the sensitive buds while your head tipped back and you moaned. He sucked one of your soft tits into his mouth, tongue swirling teasingly around your nipple.

Your back bowed and you thrust your chest into Jack’s face, your fingers sliding into his curly silver hair and clutching his head tight. A cry of pleasure tumbled from your lips, the sound devolving into a filthy moan as you sank down on his cock, taking half of him inside you. 

“God, daddy, you’re breaking me in half,” you whined, your hips writhing in his lap, lifting up and pushing back down for more of the stinging stretch. The pleasure bordered on pain, but it felt so good, you couldn’t get enough, pressing even further down on his hard cock.

Jack chuckled, pulling away from your chest with an obscene wet sound, your tit falling from his mouth while he looked up at you. His brown eyes were sparkling with mischief in the bright daylight.

“You love it, don’t you, angel?” Jack teased, in the warm, patronizing tone that sent your belly swooping. “You love the feeling of my fat cock sinking deep into your pretty cunt, splitting you open and spreading you so wide, huh?”

The filthy words went straight to your pussy, your tight hole pulsing around Jack’s hard shaft while you nodded your agreement. “Yuh huh, I love it, daddy, it’s sooo good,” you babbled, your fingers idly twisting in Jack’s hair as you clung to him and pressed your hips down on his thick length.

A small grin pulled across his face and he caught your eye, wrapping his lips around your other nipple and sucking hard enough to wring a squeal from your mouth. Your body bucked on his lap, and it was only his sinewy arm around your lower back that kept you anchored on top of him.

Spreading your knees wider on the bed, you pressed down hard on Jack’s cock until you were fully seated. The full, fat length of him was buried inside you to the hilt, stretching your tight cunt and punching the breath from your lungs. 

A surprised yelp slipped from your lips at the sudden, overwhelming fullness, but the sound soon dissolved into a deep, dirty moan when the slight sting gave way to scorching pleasure. Your body melted against Jack, his head lifting from your tits to take in the look of ecstasy on your face. 

“There we go,” Jack rasped, one of his hands pressing to your lower back, keeping your bodies locked together and still for a moment. “That wasn’t so hard, huh?” he teased, capturing your lips in a playful, nipping kiss. 

You huffed a laugh against his mouth, and shook your head good-naturedly, your arms tightening around his shoulders as you clung to your strong, steady doctor.

Jack pressed his forehead to yours, his voice lowering to deep rasp. “You’re taking me so good, angel—you’re such a good girl.” He brushed a kiss to the apple of your cheek, and it was only then that you realized you were smiling, pleased by his praise. “Are you ok, does it feel good?”

“Mm, yes, daddy,” you murmured, sinking into the feeling of having Jack’s thick cock seated inside you, pleasure pulsing from where you were joined. “Feel so good filled up with your cock—you fill me up so good, I wanna stay right here forever.” 

Your mumbled words were half lost to a moan as you rocked your hips gently, feeling his shaft drag ever so gently against your inner walls. It was intense and wonderful and felt so good, you couldn’t stop. 

Jack’s hands fell to your hips, and he gripped your soft curves, helping you grind down on him. 

“That’s it, just like that,” he urged, his own hips rolling beneath yours, bringing your bodies together in a delicious push and pull that wrenched a pleasured grunt from him. “Fuck, angel, you’re so tight and you feel so fucking good—so wet and warm. You’re making daddy feel so good.”

“Daddy, daddy, daddy,” you chanted, lips parted and breaths panting against Jack’s grizzled cheeks as you bounced on his lap. Still, you wanted more, and you knew Jack would give it to you, all you had to do was ask. “Will you suck on my tits, daddy, please?”

“Fuck, of course, angel,” Jack rumbled in response, his head ducking down, mouth latching onto a nipple and sucking until your hips gave a reflexive kick. “Ya like it when daddy sucks on your tits, angel? Your perfect fucking tits.” 

His words were muttered, almost like he was talking to himself, and he didn’t wait for an answer before burying his face in your soft mounds. His lips and tongue worshiped your tits, showing you just how much he adored your body.

“Yes, yes, daddy, I love it,” you cried, rocking your hips faster, rolling them in a steady rhythm that had your clit grinding against the base of him. The pleasure was building fast in your core, until you were suddenly on the precipice. “Please, Jack, ‘m so close.”

 “Come on my cock, angel—fuck, I wanna feel you clench around my fat cock while you’re screaming my name,” Jack rambled in between wet, suckling kisses to your soft flesh. His hands cupped your tits, thumbs stroking maddeningly over your nipples before pinching them roughly. “C’mon angel, give it to me, show me what a good girl you are and come for me.”

“Jack—JACK!” 

His words and his cock and his hands and his perfect mouth sent you tumbling over the edge of your release, making you come on his cock. Your hips worked furiously as pleasure crashed over you in waves, helpless moans and cries spilling from your lips while Jack held you tight and thrust into you from below. 

He was hot and hard and everywhere, his thick cock still deep inside you, his arms wrapped around you, his chest and belly pressed against your soft curves. He was the calm in the center of the storm that was your release, and he carried you through it, whispering words of praise in your ear. 

You were still coming down from the height of your pleasure when Jack rolled you onto your back, his hips sliding between your thighs and thrusting his cock deep into you. It felt so good that you moaned loudly, your arms and legs wrapping around Jack and holding him as he fucked you, chasing his release. 

“You’re such a good girl, angel, taking me so well and coming on my cock like such a pretty slut. Fuck, I’ve never seen anything as beautiful as you, never felt anything as perfect. You’re perfect, angel, so fucking perfect—fuck.” 

Jack bit off a groan and pulled his cock from your tight cunt. He stroked himself to completion, his come spilling across your belly and mound between your thighs while you watched pleasure contort his face. 

He let out a fierce grunt, his shoulders shaking and arms shuddering as he hunched over your body. The hand not wrapped around his cock was gripping your thigh tightly—like, for once, you were his rock, his anchor tethering him to earth.

Bathed in the bright golden light of morning filtering into his bedroom, he looked magnificent, and you couldn’t help yourself. You grabbed Jack’s face and pulled him down for a kiss, tasting the pleasure from his tongue. 

His knuckles brushed your bare skin, more come leaking from the tip of his cock and onto your belly. He was covering you in ropes of his come, but you didn’t care, not when his lips were moving against yours in a sensual slide, his tongue slipping possessively into your mouth and groaning his pleasure.

With a final pull on his cock and one last kiss, Jack rolled off you, collapsing onto his back and throwing an arm over his eyes while his chest heaved. He was still wearing his t-shirt and you pouted at it.

Still gasping for your own breaths, you slipped your hand beneath the hem of Jack’s shirt and raked your nails through the hair dusting his belly. He let out a shuddering breath, his cock twitching as another drop of come leaked from the tip of his softening length, seeping into the cotton shirt.

If you weren’t so limp and sated—and you weren’t afraid of making a mess of Jack’s bed with the come slowly drying on your skin—you would’ve leaned over and licked him clean. But that could wait for another time, when you both weren’t so tired.

Jack settled a hand on the back of yours, stilling your fingers where they were softly stroking his belly and giving them an affectionate squeeze. 

After a few moments of catching your breath together, he heaved himself up and reached an arm over his shoulders to yank off his shirt. He rolled onto his side and used the soft shirt to clean you up while you giggled happily.

“You good, angel?” Jack asked, his face hovering above yours, dark caramel eyes searching your expression for anything amiss.

A soft smile curved your mouth and you reached up to cup Jack’s grizzled cheeks, thumbs stroking over his skin. “I’m good,” you murmured, lifting up and pressing a sweet kiss to his mouth. “Thanks for pulling out—I can’t believe I forgot to tell you to use a condom.”

Jack made a disapproving sound in the back of his throat, but it was softened by the teasing smile on his face. “Not very responsible of you, doctor,” he said in a deep, playful rasp that had you laughing.

“Don’t act like you didn’t forget, too, Dr. Abbot,” you retorted, batting good-naturedly at his shoulder. He laughed along with you before sitting up and moving to the edge of the bed.

“Do you need anything while I’m up?” he asked, putting on his prosthetic then standing and tossing his soiled shirt into the laundry. He paused at the foot of the bed to wait for your answer.

Lifting your arms above your head, you stretched languidly in the warm sheets of Dr. Jack Abbot’s bed, smiling like the cat that got the cream as you reveled in the feeling of him watching you unabashedly. 

It felt like warm, orange flames of flickering heat licking at your skin, his eyes bright and intense in the morning light as they trailed over every inch of your bare skin and naked curves. That adoration you’d felt in his arms was clear in the gleam of his eye and the slightly awed smile on his face. 

“I could use some more water,” you finally answered, exhaling deeply as you relaxed and settled into the bed. You were eager for him to return so he’d wrap you back up in his arms, and you could snuggle together.

“You got it,” he rasped, his throat bobbing as he swallowed. Then he wrenched his eyes away from you and seemed to force himself to walk out of the room. 

While he was gone, you got up and went to the bathroom, cleaning yourself up a little better. When you were washing your hands, you heard a knock on the door before it opened a crack.

“Got you a shirt if you want something to wear,” Jack said, opening the door only enough for his arm to slip in. He hung a t-shirt on the hook by the door and then closed it again. 

With a smile, you dried your hands and slid the soft cotton shirt over your head. It was plain white like the one he’d had on earlier, but clean, and it smelled like his earthy, sunshiny scent. You took a deep breath of the fabric, your nipples tightening and pushing against the fabric as warm pleasure flooded you down to your toes.

But then you remembered the man himself was waiting for you, and you eagerly exited the bathroom, finding Jack reclined against the pillows on his bed. He was sipping a glass of water, another full glass on the bedside table for you. You picked it up and drank half before setting it back down and climbing into bed.

Without hesitation, Jack lifted his arm and you slid into the space next to him. The two of you settled beneath the blankets together, your head laying on Jack’s chest, his arm wrapped around your shoulders. Your fingers idly traced the veins and freckles of his other arm, brushing through the hair dusted across his skin.

Outside, the soft, suffused orange light of dawn had given way to the bright, blinding light of morning. The sun was still climbing higher in the sky, but you and Jack needed rest. 

So your bodies relaxed together, laying entwined in each other’s arms. You drifted to sleep in the calm, still bedroom while the rest of Pittsburgh carried on in the world beyond. 

From that day on, Dr. Jack Abbot was your rock, your calm in the storm, the man whose arms were your home. He was your safe harbor. And you were his.

♡ Nox - Valentine's One-Shot ♡

Written by @/ChrysanStarset

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A fresh breeze brushed against your face and hair as you and Nox stepped into the sprawling city garden. It was two days before Valentine’s day, and the two of you had been ‘preparing’ for this three-day trip. Though preparing might be a stretch. Nox had planned a trip going around places he had been meaning to visit, along with a special event gala he had been wanting to experience. Of course, he asked you to come and you’d agreed. Nox had taken it upon himself to pack some of your things, even buying you a few new outfits for the occasion. In return, he let you choose his wardrobe, and thankfully, he seemed more amused than annoyed by your choices.

The garden was a massive maze of ivy-covered archways, sculpted hedges, and floral blooms in every color imaginable. It felt surreal, like something out of a dream. Maybe it was the atmosphere, or maybe it was the fact that the two of you were dressed just a touch too well for a simple stroll through a garden. You had to admit it was a bit corny but, it was just the way you liked it. 

Nox’s attention lingered on you, even as you became distracted by every turn of the path. Every so often, he stopped to comment on the meaning of certain flowers.

“Tulips,” he said, brushing his fingers over a crimson petal. “Symbolic of perfection and royalty. Sounds fitting, wouldn’t you say?” He smirked, but there was something unreadable in his expression before he looked away momentarily, his eyelights flickered back to you.

“We definitely look the part today,” you curtsied before adding, “your majesty.”

He let out a small chuckle as he gestured towards another flower. “Carnations,” he continued, a bit more thoughtfully. “They represent fascination and distinction. Traits that, for better or worse, tend to draw people together.”

There’s something about the way he said it that made you pause, but before you could press, he moved again, stopping by a patch of roses. He studied them for a moment before plucking one and twirling it between his fingers.

“Roses are, obviously, tied to passion and romance,” he said, almost dismissively. Then, after a beat, he looked at you and offered the flower. “But also appreciation. Or, depending on the color… remembrance.”

You accepted it without thinking. The petals were soft beneath your fingers and the scent was familiar and yet difficult to place.

“…Are you always this sentimental?” You asked, glancing at him.

His smirk returned, but this time it was subtler. “You tell me.”

A comfortable silence settled between you before you shook off the moment with a smile, stepping ahead toward the gazebo and picking up the pace. “Come on. If we stay here any longer, you might start reciting poetry.”

“Spare me the embarrassment,” he muttered.

You sped up with a laugh escaping you, headed toward a gazebo in the distance. “Last one there owes the other a drink.”

“You’re making up rules now?” Of course, without missing a beat, he took the challenge and quickened his pace to catch up.

Inside the gazebo you pulled out your phone, taking some pictures of the scenery as Nox lingered beside you, watching quietly. Eventually, he gently took your phone and faced the camera between you both. He angled the camera, capturing the moment as you lean in closer to his frame. The sun made you both look warm and lively as the phone shutters with a click. Another memory for you to have in your gallery.

…

The following day, you were dressed to the nines along with Nox. He wore a stylized tuxedo with indigo and imperial blue highlights, adorned with little silver dove-shaped cuffs on his sleeves. You had to admit he looked quite dashing, as he put it all together. It made you feel a little worried as you weren’t sure the outfit you’d picked for him was good enough. Nox praised you nevertheless, which made your confidence swell. 

Moments later, you’d both arrived at a small pre-valentines gala. An event that lasted until Valentine's Day, but you and Nox had not planned to spend two nights here. Even so, you both were lucky enough to get entry tickets, so you tried to make the best you could out of it.

The gala hall glimmered under the glow of golden chandeliers, their light reflecting against the marble floors in a dazzling display. The soft hum of music playing in the background set the perfect atmosphere for the evening. You looked around, taking in the sight of elegantly dressed guests engaging in quiet laughter and warm conversations. Everything about the event was polished and refined, from the lavish buffet spread to the intricately arranged floral centerpieces on each table, reminding you slightly of the day before.

Nox, with his composed and regal gait, guided you through the hall with an effortless grace. His eyes stayed on you and no one else. 

“Shall we dance?” He asked, in a somewhat half-playful, half-serious tone- his voice low, but clear enough for you to hear.

You grinned, even though you weren’t much of a dancer; far from a good one for that matter.

“You promise to not step on my toes?” You teased. 

“I believe you might do more stomping than I will,” he retorted, a light scoff escaping him as you could see him fighting the smile trying to escape onto his face. 

You playfully scoffed back at him, your voice pitched as if you were offended. You raise the back of your hand to your head in mock distress, “How dare!”

Nox smirked. “Regardless, I’ll ensure you won't fall, you’re safe with me.”

A warmth crept up to your heart, a comforting realization of the genuine care Nox had for you. You felt blessed that he had allowed himself to feel this comfortable around you; to share his sincerity for you without him putting up a defensive front. 

He confidently guided you to the dance floor, making his first strides. Soon enough, you found yourself flowing with the rhythm, lost in the moment with him. It was comfortable and safe, in a way you couldn’t quite place. There was a steadiness in the way he moved, in the way he kept you from faltering, as if it were second nature. You didn’t know if it was intentional or just him. Regardless, you enjoyed the fresh new experience he had given you. 

“I didn’t take you for much of a dancer”

“Don’t get used to it” He sighed. There was no real sharpness in it, but earned you his signature snarky drawl. “Aww, but you’re so skilled at it. You even managed to avoid my ‘stomping’” You teased. A quiet chuckle escaped him. “I’m really lucky. Next time, I might not be so…fortunate.”

The music began to slow, but the night continued with laughter and indulgent feasting, reminding you of previous events. As the evening was finally winding down, you and Nox stepped out into the cool night air. Nox pulled out his phone and angled it your way. You posed and smiled, not taking it seriously- ruining the elegant vibes you both were showered in. This earned a sigh, and waves of laughter from both of you, but regardless another memory was saved into the gallery.

...

On Valentine’s Day itself, the scent of passion fruit, coffee, and the faintest trace of tea lingered in the air, blending with the crispness of the cool breeze that had settled over the past few days. The warmth of the afternoon sun rested on your skin, a stark but welcome contrast to the chilled air that wove through the open terrace. Nox had just returned, setting down a small plate of neatly arranged mini sandwiches and a fresh cup of tea in front of you. Steam curled from the surface, carrying the familiar, calming aroma into the quiet afternoon. You both were outside the hotel you’d been staying at, resting from traveling anymore and taking the time to enjoy the scenery from where you were. A forest stretched out and across the river that you could see. It was peaceful, compared to the chaotic atmosphere you’re used to back home. Everything felt distant here. As if the rest of the world had momentarily softened its grip. 

Looking in Nox’s direction, you saw him staring out to the horizon as well. You wondered if this is what he wanted all his life.

“You know…” He started, not looking at your direction as he spoke, but lingered on his words before continuing. “Meeting you was a strange surprise. I can’t say I mind, though.” He leaned back into his chair, watching you with a barely readable expression. “It’s something I wouldn’t have found in the underground, or with the others.” 

He paused again, this time with a sympathetic look to him. Something that, once again, was so rare to see from a skeleton like him.

“I don’t say this often, but..” He looked off for a moment before flicking his gaze back to you. 

“I appreciate the comfort you have given me. I hope to do the same for you as well. For accompanying me…I am…grateful. There is no other company I would have preferred.” 

Although his words weren’t much, they made you feel sort of praised, coming from him. 

“You’re welcome, I’m always down to have a fun time with you. You always make our little adventures very memorable even if it’s just sitting around with coffee and tea.” You chuckled to yourself a little, and noticed Nox chuckling with you. “I’ll take that as a high compliment.” He grinned, sipping his hot espresso. 

You both settled into the comfortable silence, the only sounds that accompanied the both of you were the occasional birds and cars. Eventually you both started cleaning up, took one more picture together and proceeded to do your own adventure near the hotel before the time finally came to head back home. Sitting in the front seat of Nox’s car with the windows slightly down, you stared outside watching the trees and buildings blur by. It almost felt like a dream-like haze, with how calm you were. Normally, you would be up to your usual playful antics with Nox, putting on music, and forcing him to karaoke with you, but the trip had tired you out too much to do anything of your usual taunting. You wondered if this was also part of his meticulous planning. 

You didn’t mind. You simply gazed out the window, letting the passing scenery lull you into drowsiness. Just as sleep began to take hold, the faintest sound reached your ears: a soft humming from Nox. At first, you weren’t sure if you were imagining it, but the more you listened, the clearer it became. He was humming. And not just any tune, it was your tune. The one you had raved about to him not too long ago, the one that had been stuck in your head for ages. The urge to tease him stirred in your chest, but for now, you let it be, allowing the gentle melody to carry you to sleep.

A gentle shake woke you as Nox leaned over to your side. It was clearly dark, as the only thing illuminated around you was Nox’s indigo pin prick eyelights focused on you, and the dim glow of the night light. You rubbed your eyes, and stretched a bit as Nox spoke.

“I took the liberty of letting you rest and brought your items inside your home. I hope you don't mind.” His voice was deep and low in a hushed tone.

You wanted to ask him how he got your keys, but you decided to let it go since he did you a favor by bringing your luggage inside.

“Thank you, that's so gentlemanly of you.” you said with a smirk, still groggy.

He rolled his eyelights leaning away from you and closed his door, making his way to your side and opening it.

“Come on. It's time to get out.” He urged you to not stall anymore.

You leaned to the dashboard with a groan, stalling.

Nox let out an exasperated sigh, though there was no real frustration behind it. More like mild amusement laced with a patience that has been growing for you. He simply stood there with his arms crossed, waiting.

“You do realize you can’t just sleep in my car, right?” His voice is edged with wry humor.

You peeked at him from a small gap of your arm. “Mmm…. I don’t know. It's pretty cozy here. Smells like overpriced espresso and sass. Very much you.”

Nox scoffed and shook his head. “Funny. But unless you plan to start paying me rent, cleaning and maintaining my car I suggest you move.”

You groaned again, but finally peeled yourself off the dashboard, stretching with a yawn before stepping out of the car. The cool night air hit your face, refreshing compared to the warmth Nox’s car provided you. The quiet stillness of the street felt strangely intimate. You turned to Nox, his expression is unreadable under the dim glow of the street lights.

He adjusted his coat and gloves before speaking. “You should get some rest. It’s been a long three days. I’m sure you want to spend your weekend relaxing.”

“You’re included.” You nudged him a bit, earning a confused look from him. “I’m sure you also need a break from the meticulous planning for all that.”

“The trip was my break.” He retorted, but then he smirked for a brief moment. “But, perhaps spending more of my ‘break’ with you wouldn’t cause any harm.”

Nox lifted his hand slightly, hesitating for a moment before reaching out. His fingers grazed the edge of your hand, a bit more like the ghost of a gesture than a touch.

“Well then, goodnight.” He cleared his throat, looking away from you. 

You tilted your head, a bit curious and confused by the action, but you just watched and nodded. “Goodnight, Nox. Sleep well, and I’ll text you later then.”

He lingered for a moment, his movement slowed, before heading back to his car. You slowly made your way to your door as you watched Nox park his car in the garage. Finally, you headed inside your home, peering at your luggage neatly placed in front of the entrance to your home. It almost felt like the time went by too fast and so slowly. You decided to look through your photo gallery of all the memories you two took together, to reminisce. As you intently analyzed each photo, there was a certain warmth you really couldn’t describe. Maybe you’d figure it out later.

miya osamu | simple, honest 3.5k of second chance romance, chef!osamu, written for the hq x reader secret santa event hosted by the lovely @lale-txt. and written for lale ♡ divider by the lovely @nectardaddy

The second time you fall in love with Miya Osamu. And third.

Osamu can remember the moment he fell in love and his feelings shifted. Not love at first sight, like in the movies, but there were plenty of firsts to make up for that after.

Even after all these years he can remember the exact second you had turned around in class,  something you had done many times, nothing out of the ordinary.   A last minute study group, a collection of stressed minds, Osamu’s body tired after practice, Atsumu complaining next to him, the endless drawl of equations and numbers. Useless, pointless things.

And it was your voice, eyes meeting his,  “Osamu, can I borrow a pencil?”

Not pausing to assess which twin he was, not darting your eyes up to look at his hair, none of that.

The confidence in which you knew it was him.

That moment.

Lit a flame and launched fireworks in his heart. What followed is a collection of moments he remembered with you by his side. And suddenly, that collection stopped.  Why’d it stop?

When he sees you across the street, he wonders, did he ever stop feeling that way?  Because if feelings can be turned off like that, Osamu is sure he’s broken.  Not that he’d fix it, not that he’d change the way his heart eases a bit seeing you.

And when your eyes meet his, that same confidence all those years ago, causes your hand to wave at him.

Before you even realize it, before you even register what you’re doing. Osamu had lifted his hand back, praying you take his smile is as soft, disarming. That you haven’t done anything wrong, it’s been months since you’ve last crossed paths. It’s genuine, that excitement you have to see him, and he’s pleased to see you too.

A man that blocks you from his path, Osamu’s eyes filter to the group around you.

Ages mixed, state of dress a bit formal, a work dinner, he assesses.  He feels his chest fill with pride, you’re being social. These things stress you out, but there you are. You even arrived early it seems; as more and more people join and suddenly you’re tucked into the restaurant.  That smile doesn’t fade from Osamu, delighted to know, you keep trying, challenging yourself.

✦

It can’t be him.

As much as you plead with your mind, your colleagues start up about the menu, about holiday plans. Easy banter, you’ve practice a few non-answers to reply with.  This isn’t a comfortable setting, perhaps it’s okay that you saw Osamu outside.  Your mind is more occupied with him than overthinking social interactions with people who seem to like you.

You’re seated next to a …group date?  It seems like it, the girl seated next to you gives a soft smile seems when she slides in. Maybe a bit nervous, the way she’s adjusting her bangs, checking her reflection in a handheld mirror.   Your eyes looks at her dainty nails, her pretty dress shirt, back at your own attire. And your colleagues. It seems they dressed up too and your apparel is a bit plain in comparison. 

Well, that started early. The comparison gremlin.

Drown it.

You sip a glass of water, the empty seat in front of being taken by handsome, tall—Osamu!?  You choke and the water you’re drinking exits your nose, it gets everywhere. 

It burns. 

✦

He didn’t mean to, he assumed the table reserved for his staff would take up the whole row.  So lost in thoughts of you, he hadn’t bothered to look where he was sitting. Missed his own table by one seat; had you coughing and spitting and spiraling towards something he knows you don’t want anyone to see.  “Excuse us.”

Hands on your shoulders, lifting you up, steering you steady and strong.

Ushers you into the single bathroom, harsh paper towels in his hands that dab gently at your face, “Hey, you’re okay. No one saw that.”

“Every…” a cough, “saw that.”  What a terrible liar he’s always been.

He bites his tongue, “I know, but it wasn’t that…hey, eyes on me please, keep breathing, in an out, good.”  You mimic his breathing pattern. If you close your eyes and focus on his voice, it’d feel like old times, the multiple occasions Osamu has walked you through a frenzy.  “Easy, there you are…”

He wipes at your nose, it’s embarrassing, it should be, but he doesn’t bat an eye.  “I’m okay you can…go back.”

“My staff seen my mug ‘nough.”

So not a group date. Small talk. Come on. You have it in you, say something to him, anything, get him to stop looking at you with those eyes,  “Oh.”

He grins anyways, “We hit 200k ticket this year.”

“Osamu that’s amazing.”

He shrugs, you weren’t there for 75,000 of them.

“Stop, it’s amazing and you know that.”  There he goes again, acting mature and responsible, warding off the praise for long nights and early mornings. You still remember his furrowed gaze, no one has looked at rice with such scrutiny at four in the morning. But, no.

Abort that thought.

You go to wash your hands because you’re in a bathroom.

Osamu watches, he has so many questions.

Are you sleeping better?   He still has that pillow you had ordered, you never came to grab it. Are you eating enough these days?  He has so many reels to send to you, so many recipes he wants to feed you. Are you happy?

He catches you scrunch your nose in the mirror, knows the unconscious gesture, that water must’ve gotten deep, you’re gonna get sick. Or at least, irritated nasal passages leading to congestion and given that winter has come, chances of an illness are high. But he doesn’t say anything, lets you leave the bathroom first, follows after five minutes.

His staff doesn’t ask him about you, and your colleagues look at him but don’t ask you a thing. He feels himself exhale in relief. When colleagues go outside to wait for your ride home with you. That when they return, your incident never crosses their lips. Good, this is a better work place for you. Even if they made you socialize on a Friday night.

✦

There’s a box with soup outside your door the following morning. A text message from a number your new phone hasn’t ported over but it’s hard to erase those digits from memory.

🍙: Your food has been delivered. For the best experience, we recommend eating immediately.

We? You think to yourself, curious if this is a new service Osamu has started.  You should say thanks, text him back like a normal person.  But a sneeze has you dropping your phone. After, you bargain, you’ll text him back after.

The next Saturday, it’s a box of your favorite noodles and experimental onigiri, his hand writing is as messy as ever, you give up trying to figure out what ingredient it is. The text also comes in.

🍙: Your food has been delivered. For the best experience, we recommend eating immediately. Rate our new Onigiri flavor on a scale of Delicious to Scrumptious.

That boy…

🌼: Where does delectable fall on this scale?

✦

It feels easy, texting Osamu again.  You were friends before your gaze had lingered a bit too long on his lips and turned your relationship sweeter.  You were friends before he became the person you’d turn to first person, you were friends. You were friends.

You were friends and then you were more.

You were more and then you weren’t.

And now, where does this fall?

✦

🍙: Your food has been delivered, if you like please thumbs up, comment, and subscribe. 🌼: 👍🏼

✦

🍙: Your food has been delivered, we recommend placing in the freezer asap.  Like yesterday. 🌼: There are ants everywhere Osamu.

✦

🍙: We’re running a contest for the best meal. Vote here. 🍙: If you vote for option B, I’ll name it after you. 🌼: None of these are desserts.

✦

🌼: I will need to pause my food delivery, I will be out of town this weekend. 🍙: Your food go unfulfilled, left to waste on forgotten countertops. 🌼: I’ll stop by when I get back, still open til 7? 🍙: Yup, see you then.

He wanted to say, “For you, always.” But Osamu’s happy to be allowed into your world again, even if it’s just about the meals he’s been sending or what the restaurant is up to.  He’ll take anything you feel safe giving him. Even it’s more than acquaintances and less then friends. Even if it means dancing around everything he’s been feeling.

Why did it stop?

When he scrolls up the message history he doesn’t see a clear reason. His messages became less and less frequent, then yours, and then things faded.   A plethora of good memories and Osamu can’t find where things got to the point where you not being in his life felt like a sane and rational decision.

What kind of idiot was the him months ago?  Well, he isn’t going to be that same kind of idiot now.   Despite knowing better, he risks sending another message.

🍙: Good luck on your trip, and I still remember snickerdoodle, so any time, okay? 🌼: Thanks, Osamu.

Snickerdoodle was your shared code word with Osamu for ‘everything is overwhelming please come find me.’  You’re not surprised he remembered. You were friends with Osamu before the relationship started, whether you wanted to or not, you’ve shared your ugly sides with each other, that included knowing when the other was overwhelmed. 

Osamu was always a little better at reading you than you could read him though.   Ah, whatever right? He’s always been a stand up kind of guy. This is…part of the course for being friends with him.

✦

🍙: [1 Image Sent] 🍙: Thanks again, I will protect this charm with my life. 🌼: It’s supposed to protect you, ward off the negative vibes

✦

🍙: Don’t forget an umbrella, its supposed to rain. 🌼: Thanks, Osamu.

✦

🍙: Hypothetically, if we added a dessert to our menu, what would complement our offerings. There is 1 wrong answer here. 🌼: Hypothetically 🌼: Cinnamon rolls

✦

🍙: [1 Image Sent] 🍙: Dine-in Special, if you snag this seat, the Chef will dance for you. 🌼: How’s Friday? 🍙: The Chef will use all week to practice.

✦

🍙: [Link Sent] 🍙: Is this the cinnamon roll recipe of your dreams? 🌼: It uses Stevia? Osamu, this cannot…be anybodies dream 🌼: Don’t you dare put this in my box

✦

🍙: On a scale from scrumptious to sensational, ‘never bake again’ is not a valid response. 🌼: Send me something with Stevia again and see what happens 🌼: Don’t you dare say ‘bet’

✦

🌼: Hypothetically, if I promised you a crepe, and if you were on the corner of 3rd and 8th, your arms free, would you carry a really heavy box for me? 🍙: Hypothetically 🌼: Hypothetically 🍙: Do I get to pick the flavor? 🌼: Maybe

He smiles at everyone he texts, you tell yourself as you watch him read your message.

Osamu looks up from where he was had stopped at the corner, eyes darting around, that relaxed look on his face when his eyes finally land on you? That look isn’t for everyone, that’s just for you.

Your hand going up automatically, a soft wave, the smile accompanying it makes sense.   

He doesn’t look winded at all, lifting the extra large, extra heavy, flour bags on his shoulders. “Where to?” He doesn’t look winded taking them up four flights of stairs either. 

✦

🍙: [1 Image Sent] 🍙: hey, where’s my batch? 🍙: unfair ‘samu get’s all the goods 🍙: i was ur friend first 🍙: he ate all of them

✦

🍙: ‘samu said he wants chocolate chip cookies 🌼: [1 Image Sent] 🍙: 😱 🌼: [1 Image Sent] 🍙: [1 Image Sent] 🍙: think ya broke my brother 🍙: his face is stuck like that

✦

🌼: [1 Image Sent] 🍙: Oh my god. 🌼: You have a minute to tell me which one you want. 🍙: Pistachio, no, almond. Wait, Cherry? 🍙: Any. 🍙: You pick.

And he’s only slightly baffled that you show up at Onigiri Miya, uninvited, unannounced but equally greeted with roaring cheer. Two lovely boxes in your hands, “I got all of them.”  His staff secretly rejoicing at the less intense version of their boss and additional treat, when said boss shares.

✦

This soup…does not taste right.  Scratch that, it tastes outright bad.  There’s tangy and there’s whatever this salty mishap is. There’s no text asking you to rate the delivery, you debate sending him a message first but opt to ignore it.

It’s Sunday and there’s another box of food.   This …is odd. You pull out the container, cautiously taking a bite of the interestingly shaped onigiri  and…okay, something is wrong.

🌼: The scrumpt factor is missing. 🌼: I’d like to speak to the manager.

But you get nothing, not after the usual lunch rush, not after the last dinner ticket should be filled.

🌼: Checking in, busy? 🌼: Are you okay? 🌼: Osamu?

You figure you’d go into the restaurant, remind Osamu to charge his damn phone, and walk back to the office. It should all be possible in the hour-ish window you have.  However, it’s like they were expecting you, his staff is busy with the lunch rush and instantly you’re ushered upstairs, “We finally got him to leave the kitchen but…”

“I’m fine.” The door opens, Osamu appears with a mask and unfocused eyes.  “You look terrible.”  His staff watches as you get no glare, no retort, just a mild shrug. “This is my face.” His voice sounds so congested.

Stubborn as ever. You turn to his staff, “I got this.”

He’s only wobbly because he hasn’t had water. He hasn’t had water because he forgot to fill the cup. He didn’t fill the cup because his arms felt heavy. “And you’re arms feel heavy because you’ve got a fever. Osamu you’re sick.”

“Shh, I’m not.” An ill timed sniffle, “just a cold.”

They’re the same thing but you bite your tongue,  continue chopping carrots, it’s a stew you’ve made with Osamu many times before, somehow his fridge is always stocked with exactly the right ingredients for this recipe.  “The pots in—“

Third cabinet next to the sink, the one without shelves because neither one of you got around to adding them. “Sit down.”  You threaten him with a laddle, his laughter turns into a coughing fit and your glare deepens.   That tiny voice that tells you, this is overstepping, this isn’t normal for friends, gets louder and louder as the meal progresses. 

You’ll leave once he’s fed and back in bed.

If you stay to make him supper, it’s only because Osamu had the good onions and you can’t have those going bad.

If you go back the next day, it’s only because Osamu finished everything you made, you couldn’t let your fever-ish friend cook for themselves.

If you go back the day after that, well, it’s simply to make sure Osamu doesn’t over do it.

That’s all.

✦

“Is this seat taken?”  Osamu has just put down an order when he turns to find a teenager and their friend trying to sit in your seat. He looks at his watch, you’re coming in for lunch today, stepping through the restaurant doors any minute, “Yes, it is.”  Osamu puts down an Onigiri Miya hat to keep your seat safe.

It gets harder and harder as the lunch rush picks up but he successfully glares everyone away.

“Osamu!” Your voice breaks through all the chaos, his eyes find yours. You’re walking into the restaurant, rushing past all the noise and people and finding your usual seat. He walks over holding two bowls of food that you haven’t ordered and need to be delivered to table 9.  You’re giving him an update about a colleague when you pause to take in the scene. It’s packed, and Osamu’s missing a staff member.

“Just a sec’ okay?”  He goes to drop off food, a mere thirty seconds and that darn teenager and their friend sit down at your seat. Osamu clicks his tongue, ready to remind these patrons the seat they so comfortable have sat down on, is in fact, taken.

Except it’s you, in an Onigiri Miya hat and apron, taking down their order and writing up a ticket to hand off.

You’ve done this before, in the early days, when it wasn’t as busy. You’re not the best with the hectic rush hour pace, but you’re effective. You’re helping move food along, taking down orders, refilling cups, getting utensils. Mostly, mostly that look is gone from Osamu’s face. His shoulders are relaxed, his voice is back to it’s usual tone, not rushed.

Towards the end of the rush, you’re pulled into his office, a plate of your usual on the desk as he stuffs a spoon into your mouth. Any chance you try to protest, that you need to get back to your own job, he silences with food. You hate how delicious things taste, you’d be here all the time if you could.   He goes out to make some extra boxes for you, “As thanks for today, you didn’t have to.”

“I wanted to.”

Simple, honest.

✦

“Hmm….is it a little…”

“Too sweet?”

Osamu and you nod. This is your third batch of triple berry cinnamon rolls.  There’s flour and batter and frosting everywhere. Your tiny kitchen has seen worse. (Specifically, that time MSYB decided to build gingerbread houses. They all but popped into your place the second you told them they needed royal icing to make the walls stick together.)

It feels nice.  Having Osamu in your space.

His movements compliment yours, he’s already brewed a lovely, warm, complimentary drink to ease away the sugar you’ve consumed.  “Oh, you didn’t go?”

Two entry tickets to the museum you wanted to take Osamu to, a get away to celebrate the start of your new job. You two hadn’t finalized the date and…stopped talking before you could.

He watches your eyes fall to the fridge handle, to the kitchen counter top and around the room. Lips taking a downward turn, hands fidgeting.  “I can remember the day you told me about this museum.”

Osamu takes an experimental step toward you, cautious but secure. Places his mug on the counter beside him, “You were wearing….that hoodie, the soft one with that character you like.  You were in that lottery queue for hours and scared the crap outta me—“

“I couldn’t believe I got in.” He nods, a soft smile remembering your disbelief, “You got in, told me about all the things you wanted to eat and…I remember all of that. But I don’t remember why we didn’t go.”

Your eyes meet his, you take a deep in hale, are you really going to…do this? Now?

“Osamu it…”

He shakes his head, “That’s the thing, I keep replaying the past few months over and over, and it doesn’t make sense to me. Why aren’t I in your life? Why are you not next to me?”

You open and close your mouth.  Wanting to choose your words carefully.

if you self depreciate, he’ll switch into caretaker Osamu and not really hear you. If you give into emotions, you’ll switch into a nasty version of yourself and push Osamu away.  You don’t want that.  Of all the options, you don’t want a life where he is a stranger to you.

“I don’t think…there's a big dramatic bad thing here. You were there one day and then you weren’t. I don’t know really how it happened either.”  The loneliness had come after.  When suddenly texting Osamu turned into mental gymnastics because the two swipes it takes to open the messaging app and find his name.

He’s close now, steps soft and slow, his fingers trace down your arm before settling into your hand. You intertwine the fingers, give his hand a squeeze, dare to look at his face because even now you think of him as extra special. The ease his lazy but always soft smile provides you.

“I’m really sorry…I don’t know how I let go of us…” Closer still, leaning to have his forehead touch yours, a pause from all the noise in both of your heads.  You missed him, miss him.  Having him this close just proves part of you will never get over him. Part of him will never fill that ache for you either.

“Would it be okay, if we, could try again?”

“Osamu…”

The oven timer beeps, startling you out of his orbit, his hand clings to yours before urging an oven mit onto it. This is the forth and final batch, now or never.  You let the rolls cool before plucking and plopping one onto the new bowl Osamu has waiting, two forks in hand. The frosting already remixed and he adds a fat dollop on top.

You take a bite and your eyes meet his and it’s the simplest moment.

And maybe, years later, you’ll tell him.  The second time you fell in love with him was when his face crinkled into disbelief and blossomed into the biggest grin. “We…did it? We did it!”

You watched him take another forkful, “Aww, let’s gooooo! We did it.”  He’s whipping out his phone to take photos, ready to make this everyone’s business.

All you can do, is watch this tall guy brag about your baking skills.  It doesn’t even take a few months, the third moment happens right there, Osamu leaning on the countertop, perched on his elbows as he steals more and more of the triple berry cinnamon roll, “You might not get rid of me now.”

And you let the words fill the air,  “I wouldn’t want to.”

Simple, honest.

Hi Meerr! It's Cami ☆

I thought your kinktober event had closed, so I'm happy it didn't! I wanted to ask you for something that's been on my mind for a while. I've been thinking about having sex in a cemetery (look, Idk where the thought came from, but it's eating me up) aaaand then I saw that the Day 19 seems free. So, I'd like to request something with Law (yk, my man) or Mihawk. Fem reader.

Thank you! I adore you and your work ♡

Cami!!! Girl, you KNOW how much I adore writing for you. Either of those men would've been great, but I couldn't resist writing for your man. Hope you like it 💜🧡

No one understood what you saw in him: the man who seemed to sulk at parties and stalk the grounds that housed the dead. Getting to know him was difficult, getting him alone even more so. There wasn’t a challenge you couldn’t overcome, so long as you wanted it enough—and Law was a challenge that you had your heart set on.

CW: NSFW, MDNI, fem!reader, public sex (cemetery), vaginal penetration, undefined relationship, somewhat rough, dirty talk

The dead don’t speak (Law)

The silent type. An air of mystery that had many gravitating to him, though next to none were kept in his orbit. With the intensity of the sun, he turned many away while completely shattering any ideas of having a future with him. Even when leaving a trail of broken hearts, you followed that path to him nonetheless.

His cold, deadpan stare didn’t phase you. In fact, it sparked further interest in you. The exterior he wore of stern bleakness began to show some cracks the more time you spent around him. Although his expressions remained relatively unchanged, there were bits of warmth in his attitude towards you: softened looks, a more relaxed stance, and allowing you to be physically closer to him. When you sat together, your legs brushed against each other, walking together led to your hands lightly grazing, and the eye contact you shared lingered more and more.

With no lines drawn to show the extent of your relationship, there was still an evident understanding of the mutual trust—a friendship that you cherished, and one that he wouldn’t trade for anything.

Sitting outside on the bench that you frequented together, the unusually sunny weather was coming to an end. The clouds were rolling in, thick gray that hung above without any threat of rain. The overcast set an ominous curtain over the town.

You took a deep breath, while closing your eyes. The smell of crisp leaves filled the air and their scent carried past you, the wind brushing through your locks.

His stare was locked on you. Unwavering from the gentleness held in your face, the intensity could be seen even through shut eyes.

“Yes?” You asked softly. You felt him shifting away from you. “You were staring again. Is there something on your mind?”

“I wasn’t staring.” His denial was unconvincing.

You hummed in understanding, guessing that this type of attention was making his lightly tanned cheeks burn.

“Would you…” he began, clearly embarrassed before he even spat out the question, “like to go for a stroll? There’s a place not far from here that is beautiful this time of year.”

Despite the slight hesitation in his tone, you saw through that—knowing that this was his way of wanting to connect.

“I’d love that.”

The twisting path passed over the road and through the tall trees; the changing colors of the leaves were breathtaking even under the gloomy sky. Approaching the knee high black metal bars, the perimeter they set was overgrown with weeds and wildflowers. Most of the headstones were illegible, unable to tell the stories of those to whom they were assigned.

“This cemetery has been lost to time it seems.” Law gestured to the faceless stone markers.

Your solemn nod could be felt even with his back turned.

“But they live on in other ways,” he continued. “And the life that surrounds them sinks into the earth and reaches them.” Leaning against one of them, his eyes burrowed into you, seemingly hanging on each way your facial muscles twitched.

“And how often do you come here?”

“Fairly often. Even those without names deserve visitors.”

The melancholic tone when paired with the grim audience should have sent chills down your spine, and yet you were left entranced by his dark charm. A faint smile played on your lips.

“You’re right, we shouldn’t deny them that.” You walked towards him, not sure what move you were playing at or how he’d react once you got there, but he had a pull on you, one which was growing stronger and stronger.

He unfolded his arms and his stern gaze softened. You positioned yourself between his legs, the uncertainty of how he would react caused your heart to pound like a drum. As you leaned in, his lips parted slightly and his eyes fell to your lips, giving you every reason to believe that he had the same idea.

Your first kiss started feverishly, but within the first few moments, the blanket that was covering your carnal interest was ripped off and left the both of you exposed to the elements. Desperate for warmth, you threw your arms around his neck. He snaked around your waist, pulling you tightly against him.

One of his hands traced the outline of your body. Each curve you offered him was a temptation in its own right: your hips, the subtle dip in your waist, and the soft curvature of your breast. Your sweet sounds were muffled against his lips. When his hand trailed along your jaw, his thumb gently gripped your chin, pulling it open. His own need to explore your mouth overwhelmed you, but you gladly drowned in the pools of your lust.

“Oh, Law,” you gasped in a shaky breath.

“What is it?” He breathed.

“I want more…”

He groaned from your admission. Pushing you against the cold stone, he hesitantly slipped his hand under your panties. The slick warmth waiting for him fueled his actions.

“Already so wet for me? Such an impatient little thing, aren’t you?” He growled against your ear, licking your earlobe to make you shudder.

Promptly, he picked you up and balanced you on the thick slab. The forceful tug of your pants and underwear left red marks along your hips and outer thighs.

The cool autumn wind grazed against the exposed skin, luring Law’s tattooed hands to roam your lower half. The firm squeeze of him on your hips made you gasp softly—his hands somehow being colder than the chilly air. Holding you closely, his touch was firm yet caring. Your legs were hooked over his forearms, leaving his hands to caress your back and hold you in place.

As the head of his length pressed into you, your body welcomed him eagerly. The spasms coursing through your lower half made your breath hitch, causing you to choke on your own moans. He pulled himself closer to you, his fingers digging into your back as he groaned from the sheer bliss of you wrapping around him.

“Hold onto my shoulders.”

When he began bucking into you, your fingers tore at his long-sleeved shirt. Your hot breath against his ear as you panted through the surges of bliss only fanned the flames of passion. His craving to feel you unravel fueled him—slamming into you became a necessity.

Chasing that high but wanting to enjoy each moment fogged his mind. He was getting lost in the moment: your legs trembling, your sloppy cunt coating him entirely, and your lewd sounds passing those soft lips of yours.

“So fucking good,” you moaned.

“Yeah, you like that? Like how I make you feel? Hm?” His thrusts grew more aggressive. That image he had of you screaming his name and losing your mind was going to become reality—he’d make sure of it.

You whimpered a meek ‘yes’ that was barely audible above the slapping of wet skin. His grip on you tightened. The sting of his nails in your back made you quake, practically shoving you over the edge right there and then.

He reached his breaking point, though. Unable to hold back from the intoxicating aroma flooding between you, his desperate drive bullied against your g-spot. Clawing at his shoulders, the convulsions of your orgasm sent him spiraling into the abyss.

Cries for each other fell on the ears that would never be able to gossip of your questionable deed. The sound of newfound lovers echoed in the woods, and your huffs of descending ecstasy tangled with the caws of the crows perched above.

The beads of sweat on his forehead began trickling down the sides of his face. You wiped it away with your thumb. Stroking him, your tenderness melted his harsh exterior like butter. Pressing his lips against yours, his body which was cool to the touch earlier had warmed up from the heat of the moment.

You weren’t sure where your relationship with Law would lead. However, for the time being, you sat next to him in contentment. The afterglow of your escapade was dimming, but the connection you had was burning brighter by the day.

1-Strength represents the inner courage and self-mastery required to align yourself with your desired reality. It emphasizes the importance of patience, resilience, and trust in your own abilities. Shifting is a journey that demands not only focus but also compassion for yourself, especially during moments when doubts or obstacles arise.

This card reminds you that true strength doesn’t come from force or control but from balance and understanding. It’s about calming the mind, taming inner fears, and maintaining unwavering belief in your power to manifest change. When you embody this energy, you’re not only able to overcome challenges but also to connect deeply with the version of yourself that thrives in your desired reality. Strength encourages you to stay consistent, trust the process, and remember that success comes from mastering your thoughts and emotions.

────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ──

2-It signifies a pivotal moment of change and transformation. This card reminds you that your process is not linear but cyclical, filled with ups and downs that are all part of the path to your desired reality. It suggests that the universe is in motion, and energies are aligning in your favor, even if the results aren’t immediately visible.It’s also a sign to trust in destiny and seize the opportunities that come your way. If you’ve been feeling stuck or doubtful, The Wheel reassures you that change is near, but you need to flow with events and remain open-minded and receptive. Additionally, it may indicate that this is the perfect time to practice your shifting techniques, as cosmic timing is on your side. This is a card of hope, movement, and trust, reminding you that the cycles in your life are working to bring you closer to your goal.

────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ──

3-If it represents sudden, transformative change that may feel chaotic or unsettling at first but is ultimately necessary for your growth. This card suggests that old beliefs, habits, or mental blocks that no longer serve you are being broken down to make room for a stronger foundation. While this process can be uncomfortable, it’s a powerful opportunity to release what’s holding you back and realign with your true intentions.

The Tower might indicate that a breakthrough is imminent, but it requires you to let go of resistance and trust the process, even when it feels overwhelming. It’s a reminder that sometimes disruption is essential to create space for new possibilities. This card encourages you to embrace the changes, knowing they are clearing the path for you to shift into a reality that aligns more deeply with your desires.

Ultimately, The Tower is a card of awakening and liberation. Though the journey may feel intense, it signals a transformative moment that will lead to a clearer, more aligned version of yourself and your shifting goals.

It's Never Just Coffee

Chapter 4 - And Losing Fights

♡ Summary: Shadow and Sonic race with gay thoughts involved.... and 0 people spying on them!!! (NOT CLICKBAIT!!!

♡ Reminder: Canon divergent, technically takes place at the start of Sonic 2. Characters may be ooc because of altered events. Previous chapters needed for context

♡ Cross posted on AO3

It was 6:01.

Sonic was late. So by default, Shadow had already won the race by getting to the target on time.

Shadow was about to spiral into the idea that Sonic had ditched him, but the blue hedgehog appeared in a blur in an instant.

“You’re late.” Shadow turned to face Sonic, watching as he brushed the imaginary dirt of his shoulders and grinned.

“Fashionably late!” Sonic announced proudly, hands on his hips before he took a step forward. “Knuckles and Tails held me up a bit, they were all watching a movie and apparently I’m not good at sneaking around!” Sonic scoffed.

Shadow just narrowed his eyes at Sonic. “What happened to being The Fastest Thing Alive? ” 

Sonic quickly turned to Shadow, putting a hand over his heart and gasping. “Excuse me!” He gasped, feigning hurt. “Being fast does not mean I am stealthy!”

Shadow huffed, glancing at the moonlit grass ahead of them. "Excuses don’t matter. You’re late. By default, I’ve already won." He announced proudly, crossing his arms.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on," Sonic said, holding up his hands as he stepped closer. "That’s not how this works! You don’t just win because you got here first." 

Shadow just stared at him, waiting for the idiot to realize that was exactly how races worked. 

Sonic stared at him expectantly, seeming to think of it as a staredown. Once Sonic realized he was quick to wave his hands around, losing the staredown in an instant. "No, no, no! That’s not how this race works! We didn’t even start yet—there was no countdown, no 'ready, set, go,' none of that!"

Shadow quirked a brow, clearly unimpressed. "Sounds like someone’s making excuses for being slow."

“Fine!” Sonic announced. “Let’s settle this properly."

"Properly?" Shadow echoed, leaning slightly forward. "You mean you losing?" He teased .

Sonic’s grin widened, a spark of determination lighting up his emerald eyes. "Keep talking, Shadow. That confidence of yours is gonna look real funny when you’re eating my dust."

Shadow smirked, the faintest hint of a challenge flashing in his expression. "We’ll see who’s laughing when this is over."

They both turned to face the stretch of moonlit fields before them.. Sonic gestured dramatically toward the path ahead. "Alright, the rules are simple. First to that oak tree—” He pointed at one far ahead, up on a hill. “—and back. No shortcuts, no cheating! —just pure speed. Deal?" he held out his hand to Shadow.

Shadow nodded and shook his hand. "Deal. Let’s see if you can keep up this time." He smiled, lining up at their imaginary starting point.

“Fox, can you see anything?” 

“Shh!” Tails put a finger over his mouth and turned his head towards Knuckles. “Whisper!” He yelled in a hushed tone before looking back at the two hedgehogs down on the field of grass and the occasional dandelions or sunflowers.

Tails looked back into his binoculars and gasped. “They’re lining up, Knuckles! They’re lining up!” He squealed.

Knuckles shoved Tails over and grabbed the binoculars. “Let me see! Let me see!” He gasped at the sight before lowering the binoculars and pumped a fist up to the sky. “Yes! Sonic will soon win over the barista’s heart!”

Tails glared at him. He silently made a quick prayer that Sonic would take the full week. If he won, his prize would be a mountain of mints.

If Maddie won…

Tails shuddered. Kitchen duty… Knuckles’s knuckle sandwich special… 

But still! Tails trusted that Sonic wouldn’t rush into a relationship in only a day! It’d been a day since they met which meant if they were together by tonight… Knuckles would win.

That meant… The Warrior Fighting Pit would be allowed in the living room.. And Tails would have to face his greatest foe!

Lightning.

Tails had no idea how Knuckles would make him face it. But Knuckles would definitely find a way…

“Here, I brought you your own pair!” Tails handed Knuckles a pair of binoculars, earning an approving nod from the echidna.

"Thank you, Fox! Your readiness is greatly appreciated!” Knuckles looked back at the pair of hedgehogs. “Now… when are they supposed to kiss?”

Tails was so shocked he had to slowly lower his binoculars, then slowly turn to look at Knuckles. Completely missing as Shadow and Sonic sped off toward the finish line.

“It’s supposed to happen when they finish the race and stargaze.”

Knuckles and Tails screamed so loud that Tails had to turn around to make sure Sonic and Shadow hadn’t heard. (They didn’t, they were too busy racing)

“It’s the goat milker!” Knuckles shouted.

“ It's the goat milker!” Stone mocked before scoffing and handing Tails a Stoneacchino and Knuckles a Cortado. Knuckles sniffed it before downing it in one gulp.

Tails handed a pair of binoculars. “Glad to see you could make it!” His tails swishing behind him as he smiled at the man. “Now! How long do you think it’ll take Sonic and Shadow to start dating—”

“By tonight.”

Tails’s ears drooped, he sighed and shook his head. 

“Oh! They’re about to make it to the tree!” Knuckles gasped excitedly.

"Touchdown!" Sonic shouted, placing a triumphant hand on the trunk of the tree. He turned to Shadow, ready to brag and dance but froze when he realized the other hedgehog was nowhere to be found. 

Sonic looked back at the path they had ran on and gasped when he saw Shadow racing back to the starting point. Oh! I said to here and back!

Sonic scrambled back on the path, re-running the path to try to catch up. His efforts were in vein when he saw Shadow already waiting at the field of grass, tapping his foot impatiently against the ground as he waited for Sonic to return.

Sonic sighed and fell onto the grass, rolling onto his back and facing up at Shadow. “I would’ve won if I remembered to come back!” He announced proudly, trying to save some of his lost dignity.

Shadow snorted lightly before sitting down beside him. “Sure, sure”

 “What does the winner get?” Sonic wondered aloud before turning his head to the sight and seeing a sunflower right under his nose. “Oh!” he gasped, sitting up to pluck it out of the ground.

“What are you doing with that?” Shadow asked, struggling to keep his tone flat. Oh gosh this is what they do in Telenovelas!

Sonic grinned and spun the sunflower between his fingers before holding it out to Shadow with a playful flourish. “What does it look like? I’m giving it to you,” he said, his tone light and teasing. “Winner gets a prize, right?”

Shadow stared at the flower for a moment, his ruby eyes narrowing slightly. “You’re giving me… a flower ?” He asked, looking at Sonic to confirm.

Sonic nodded, closing his eyes with a smile. “Yep! A pretty flower for the pretty winner!” Sonic was about to take that back till he saw the flushed look on Shadow’s face. Wow I am such a natural flirt!

Shadow leaned forward, and Sonic tried to place the flower behind his ear as carefully as he could.

Shadow sat frozen as Sonic leaned in. The sunflower’s stem brushed lightly against Shadow’s quill. Sonic's fingers briefly grazed Shadow’s cheek as he finished his work.

“There,” Sonic said softly, pulling back just enough to take in his handiwork. He tilted his head, a grin on his face. “Perfect.”

Shadow couldn’t tell what he looked like. But if Sonic said it was perfect, then he trusted him.“You’re insufferable,” he decided to say, his words lacking any bite. 

“And yet, you’re still sitting here with me,” Sonic quipped, leaning back into the grass with his hands behind his head. “I must be doing something right!”

Shadow glanced at him, a small smile gracing his features as he murmured, “Maybe.”

Sonic dug a finger into the grass beside him, testing out the dirt before letting out a satisfied hum. “I’ve got another idea”

Tails squinted through his binoculars, his twin tails swishing with anticipation. “What’s Sonic doing now?” he murmured, adjusting the focus. Tails quickly gasped and pulled out his notepad, crossing a line over a sentence and going back to watching. “Plan D is in action!”

Stone’s brows furrowed, looking between the two aliens. “What’s plan D—” With a shove of the utmost gentleness from Knuckles, he was shut up.

“Shh!” Knuckles hissed before excitedly looking into the binoculars.

Sonic was… running circles around Shadow? Wait no, it wasn’t a circle unless Sonic was blessed with idiocy. It looked like a triangle with two small circles— OH.

Stone gasped, before whipping his phone out and taking a photo. He then proceeded to take out a fucking Sony Hxc-fz90sn Portable Hd Studio 4k Cam W/ 20x Lens & 7" Studio camera and took a photo. Stone then magically put it away into a bag and pulled out a Bluey Digital Camera… weird guy…

Tails really wanted to comment but he’d probably be punched to the moon (with utmost gentleness) by Knuckles for interrupting the moment. “This is so skibidi!” Knuckles gasped.

Tails really wanted to punch Sonic for infecting Knuckles.

“Sonic did it!” Knuckles cheered, jumping up in joy despite how Tails rushed to try to shush him. The echidna had completely forgotten that they might get caught. “The hedgehog made a heart!” He put a hand over his chest proudly. Impressed by his brothers Sonic’s game.

Shadow stared at the uneven heart Sonic had drawn into the grass. It was lopsided, with uneven lines and awkward curves, a poor excuse for a heart. But it was still a heart and it was… endearing.

He glanced at Sonic, who was standing outside the lines, watching Shadow’s expression for a hint of approval. The blue hedgehog had a smug grin plastered on his face, clearly anticipating that approval.

“So?” Sonic asked, turning his head to look at Shadow. “What do you think? Pretty romantic, huh?”

Shadow folded his arms, feigning indifference despite the fact this was the most romantic gesture he had ever received in his entire life (and the only aside from that flower Sonic had just given him). “Romantic isn’t the word I’d use.”

Sonic gasped, placing a hand over his heart dramatically. “Shadow! You wound me!” he gasped before falling back. 

Shadow chuckled before sitting inside of the heart, near the edge of it to be closer to Sonic. “It’s… nice” He decided.

That was way to kind, Sonic shot up instantly with stars gleaming in his eyes and a smile so bright Shadow feared he might go blind.

Shadow snorted, and Sonic snorted back. Shadow wondered if he should comment on that, but decided against it.

The two simply looked up at the stars above. The night stretched on in comfortable silence, with only the faintest sound of the wind rustling the grass and flowers around them. The occasional dandelion blowing.

The stars were brightly above, scattered across the sky. 

The last time Shadow was able to sit down and watch the stars, was fifty years ago. Back when she was still alive.

The pain of her loss was still there, but it wasn’t as unbearable as he thought it would’ve been when he was in his stasis. He felt like it was consuming him, drowning him in nothing but a repeated grief and anger as his memories repeated over and over.

But with Sonic… the pain became more bearable.

The happiness Sonic made him feel made that pain feel bearable. No longer did that anger consume him. When he fell asleep at night, he thought of Sonic. Sonic was a thought that guarded his mind and kept the recurring memory of Maria’s death away.

The pain was there. Maria was gone. But Shadow’s love was still there, sitting right besides the pain he felt. 

And Sonic had come into his life and brought him joy he had never thought himself worthy of.

Sonic spoke up again, like he knew Shadow was a thought away from losing himself to his thoughts. “You know, I never really thought much about the stars before,” he said, his gaze still fixed on the sky, his voice a little more introspective than usual. “I never really took the time to just... look. They’re a lot more interesting than I thought.”

Shadow glanced at him, surprised by the unexpected honesty in Sonic’s words. “You didn’t look at the stars?” he asked, half-teasing but also curious.

Sonic laughed softly, glancing sideways at him. “Nah, I was always too busy running. Always trying to outrun something,” he admitted with a shrug. “But tonight, I don’t know... it feels different. It’s like... there’s no rush or anything. Just me, you, and the stars.”

“You’re not wrong,” Shadow said quietly, his voice softer than usual. “It’s strange. Quiet. But not bad.” He looked up at the stars.

Sonic grinned, his eyes watching Shadow, not the stars. “Yeah, it’s beautiful, huh?”

It was quiet for a little while longer till Sonic pulled his phone out of his quills and hissed. “Oh crap! It’s almost ten!” He shot up so fast he might get whiplash. “I gotta go!”

Shadow nodded, standing up and brushing the dirt off his shoulders before he met Sonic’s eyes. “Will you come by The Mean Bean soon?”

“Of course I will!” Sonic smiled cheerfully. “Now! Gotta go! Or else the Donut Lord might give me a lecture! Bye!”

He missed the utter look of confusion on Shadow’s face. “... Who the hell is The Donut Lord…”

Tails slowly lowered his binoculars and sniffed, whipping a tear from his eyes. “Why is Sonic’s plan working?” he sniffed.

“Because Sonic has one thing no one else on this planet does!” Knuckles announced, looking up at the stars with a proud look. Like he was mentally thanking his ancestors for blessing Sonic with such an interesting romance story.

“What’s that?” Tails asked, genuinely curious. 

Knuckles grinned, slowly turning to look at Tails. His voice brimming with pride as he said the worst thing Tails had ever heard in his mouth,  “Ultimate rizz. ” Tails was going to fucking kill Sonic. 

Knuckles laughed before jumping up. “Now! We must fulfill our part of his plan now that he has!” 

Tails was gonna lose that bet… Tails was seriously gonna kill Sonic in his sleep if he got put into that Warrior Pit.

"…What plan?!" Knuckles knocked Stone out the moment he opened his mouth.

Shadow just stood there for a while, looking at the direction that Sonic had raced off in. A serene expression on his face as he looked up at the moon.

“I think you would’ve liked him, Maria.” Shadow whispered. The night’s gentle winds brushed through his quills, and Shadow looked down at his hands. The hands that were meant to destroy, but with Sonic, now had the chance to love.

Shadow hoped that if the time ever came, he would be able to gently hold Sonic. That he would be able to soothe and love Sonic.

If the chance never came, and Sonic never gained feelings for him. Shadow could at-least be glad that he had loved someone with his own feelings, that he had ever been capable of being in-love.

Something in the air suddenly shifted. His senses sharpened at the chance of a threat, but before he could react, a hand gripped his shoulder with surprising force. A low growl barely escaped his throat as he whirled around, only to be met with darkness.

Hi, I'm going around doing some check-ins with how various if authors I follow have been doing. Know you don't intend to post till you have a demo you're satisfied with, so considering everything going on in the world, especially specific parts of it, I do hope life is treating you well. And if life is putting you through the wringer, then I do sincerely hope things turn around for you and that it starts treating you well.

-`♡´- Thank you so much for taking such a sweet, thoughtful initiative! I am relatively fine, all matters considered, and that's better than I could be otherwise. ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

I do feel somewhat stuck in various sector of life, a subtle panic beneath the immediate stability I am so fortunate to possess. But such anxiousness is quite common for me. (・–・;)ゞ My main challenge in the realm of writing remains my steadfast exhaustion and limited hours. Especially with recent events, it's difficult to prioritize self-indulgent activities such as writing over other demands in the realm of family and work. (ﾉ´д｀)

Nevertheless, I am trying to push through, even when the path tends to fall out from under my feet. Goodness, the loss of all that work I previously detailed (in a deleted post) . . . ヽ(ﾟ´ ﾛ｀)ﾉ behind-the-scenes, I bordered upon a rather extreme crash out that might have silenced this work for good! Aha, but rest assured, I've processed the worst emotions following that. Cried it out, endured the embarrassment, the shame, the guilt . . . and I'll keep chugging along.

I wished I had someone to talk all this through with, but (perhaps irrationally) I'd sooner die than let the people in my life know I like to write recreationally. ¯_ (ᵕ—ᴗ—)_/¯ It's just too vulnerable a matter for me to share.

Still, after much reflection, I have used the misfortunate events around Insurrection to spur myself into starting a bit of a re-write for Chapter 0. Lots of undone work there that I had clung onto for far too long, and I hope it's all for the better. I think it's a much more digestible introduction for readers compared to before, even if it sacrifices some of the chaotic feel I wished to impart while under the influence of Curadora.

A sample of the re-draft. This isn't the absolute opening (those first two or so choices are largely the same | intact), but close enough to it. Please excuse errors and poor quality:

I've also fiddled around in Canva during a quiet night I had over one weekend and redid some of the old graphics.

Flash Warning Graphical Redesigns

A non-flickering option for graphics will likely be selectable before the book truly begins, or I'll remove the flicker entirely based on feedback. Apologies if these are difficult to view, or hideous in appearance. I am not skilled in the realm of visual art whatsoever, and I am even less skilled when it comes to technology. o(´д｀o)

Before (Old Design)

After (New Design)

I'm not able to upload the GIF version of this cover page it seems, so apologies, above is a low quality video format for a (somewhat silly, messy) cover page design I toyed with in Canva. (´∇｀'') I plan for it to be a placeholder more than anything permanent.

Apologies for getting so off-track. It's little steps at a time for me back here, but steps still move me forward, nonetheless. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Thank you once again for your generous endeavor in lifting the spirits of those in the IF community! I hope you're doing well and deeply wish the same for all the authors out there! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Back to Reality (重返现实) - 1 | Beyond the World 世界之外

Cruel Show Part 3

♡———♡

System: Due to your excellent performance in the previous round, you will have a two-week rest period this time. I will assist you in adjusting to the back-and-forth between the real world and the instance worlds. Each time you return to reality, your experiences within the instance world will be "faded." You will still remember these experiences, but your emotional connection to them will not be very intense. Your previous memories and emotions from the real world will be fully restored. This is to ensure that you can continue to live a normal life in the real world. Your rest period may now begin.

I had already been away from the real world for some time.

Yet, I didn't feel much disorientation or confusion at the moment. Everything I had experienced in reality was still vivid in my mind.

Correspondingly, I remembered the people and events I had encountered in the instance, but all the various emotions and feelings had become like viewing flowers through fog, no longer as intense.

I supposed this was part of the system's way of helping me "adapt."

Otherwise, a normal person who experienced so much love and hate in different timelines would probably collapse sooner or later.

Before being dragged into that so-called "game," life had always been quite ordinary and normal—

The main schedule consisted of attending classes, internships, and participating in some entertainment activities that interested me.

I wasn't sure if I would be pulled back into the instance world after this rest period, as the system claimed.

But in any case, life in reality had to continue.

Having figured some things out, I walked towards school, deciding to get a check-up at the hospital when I had time, just to be safe.

-

My dormitory was a typical four-person room, but two beds were empty, not assigned to anyone.

So, usually, it was just my roommate, Li Meimei, and me.

Li Meimei: Huh? Y/N, didn't you go to buy drinks?

Li Meimei: Why are you back so quickly?

I felt an impulse to tell Li Meimei everything I had just experienced, even though she probably wouldn't believe me and would think I was just making up a story.

I wanted to tell these things.

But the moment I opened my mouth, my throat felt like it was being choked, and I couldn't say anything.

An invisible force restrained me, preventing me from talking about the unnatural things that had just happened to me--

"It" wouldn't allow me to reveal the "Infinite Game."

I looked at Li Meimei, forcing a smile at her.

Me: ....Nothing, I just suddenly didn't want to drink, so I came back.

Li Meimei: Are you feeling unwell?

Li Meimei: Do you want to go to the hospital to get checked?

Me: I'm fine, just a little nauseous. Don't worry.

Li Meimei: Then you should rest well. I have some big news to tell you!

Li Meimei: Huanxin Technology is hiring interns! The school sent out an email; we can apply!

Huanxin Technology is one of the fastest-growing internet companies in recent years, and it's said to be backed by a powerful international conglomerate.

Although Huanxin Technology is a new company, it's in a growth phase with immense potential, making it an excellent career choice.

But correspondingly, its selection criteria are also quite high.

Li Meimei: You can read the email first and decide. There's no cost to applying if you're interested.

Li Meimei was right. Our class was graduating in a year, and many classmates had already decided their future paths.

Even if we didn't get a formal job offer, this internship experience would help us find work later.

-

After a busy night, I submitted my resume.

Li Meimei was already fast asleep. I washed up and went back to bed as well.

I didn't know if those strange instance challenges and game missions from the system would reappear, or when they would end, but in any case, tomorrow would be a new day.

I really should start planning for the future.

I didn't have classes all day Monday, so I took a bus directly to the city's central hospital.

This was a well-known public hospital in the city, with a good reputation and close to the school.

The central hospital never seemed to have a shortage of people. After waiting in line for a long time, I finally got an available appointment for the day—

Consultation Room 2, number 27; Attending Physician: Li Defu.

I sat on a bench in the hospital corridor and began to wait for my turn.

Broadcast: Patient number 27, Y/N, please proceed to consultation room 2.

After my number was called, I walked to the consultation room door and gently knocked.

???: Please come in.

Dr. Li Defu's voice was surprisingly young and pleasant, and also somewhat familiar.

I pushed the door open and walked in, seeing a young doctor in a white coat sitting behind a standard office desk.

He had a slender and upright figure, exuding a remarkable aura of composure and integrity even while seated.

The doctor looked up from behind the desk, his gaze calmly meeting mine, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

???: Please sit down.

I subconsciously took a half step back.

How could this person look exactly like Yi Yu?

In an instant, memories that had been gradually fading under the system's influence rushed back like a tide—

People running and screaming in terror, a monster following like a shadow, the midnight rendezvous.

And those chaotic, unclear entanglements in the night sea breeze... and that farewell that wasn't quite a farewell.

It was all like a chaotic dream, tinged with both beauty and bloodshed.

And now, the person from that dream had appeared before me in reality.

I moved my lips stiffly, ultimately managing to utter only one sentence—

Me: ....Excuse me, are you Dr. Li Defu?

Yi Yu: No, Dr. Li had something to do today. I'm a colleague from his department filling in. My name is Yi Yu.

Yi Yu.

I felt a string snap in my mind.

He glanced at the number slip I had placed on the desk.

Yi Yu: The system probably hasn't been updated yet.

Yi Yu: Relax. Is there anything bothering you?

His gaze was completely unfamiliar, the gaze of a doctor looking at a patient. Clearly, he didn't recognize me.

But that's right.

That's how it should be.

I came back to my senses, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and gathered my thoughts.

Me: ...I've been having some strange things pop up in my mind lately, things that feel like they actually happened.

Me: No, in my perception, they did actually happen. They all have a logical sequence, and follow a chain of events.

I tried to explain to the man in front of me what had been happening to me recently.

Dr. Yi listened quietly, and even when my explanations became confused and inarticulate, he remained patient, simply looking at me gently.

Unconsciously, I started to relax.

After I finished, Dr. Yi pondered briefly and wrote out a few test requisition forms for me.

Yi Yu: Go to the fourth floor for these tests. Come back with the results.

Me: Okay, thank you.

I took the forms and left, feeling that Dr. Yi was truly very normal.

Except for his overly handsome appearance, his behavior was no different from any other doctor. Perhaps it was all a coincidence.

Different worlds might have similar ships, and naturally, there might also be similar people.

Three hours later, I returned to the consultation room with the test reports.

Dr. Yi took the reports from my hand, carefully examining each page. His slender fingers flipped through the papers, and for a moment, the only sound in the room was the rustling of paper.

After he finished reading, he put the reports down and handed them back to me.

Yi Yu: It appears there's no problem. All indicators are normal.

He smiled reassuringly at me, his gray eyes slightly curving with the smile.

Yi Yu: Go back and get some rest, don't stay up late, drink plenty of water. Come back for a follow-up if you have any more issues.

Yi Yu: Hmm....

He looked at me, pausing in thought for a moment.

Yi Yu: But just to be on the safe side, it's best to come back for another check-up in a week. Just make an appointment with me again.

Me: Okay.

Me: Thank you, Dr. Yi.

Yi Yu: You're welcome.

At this moment, the next waiting patient impatiently walked into the consultation room. Yi Yu turned his head and began questioning the next patient.

He asked with sincere interest, listening to the patient describe their symptoms as attentively as he had listened to me earlier, completely disregarding my presence.

I glanced at him again, quietly left the consultation room, and closed the door behind me.

The time spent waiting in line for tests at the hospital took up too much time. By the time I left the hospital, I encountered evening rush hour traffic, and it was already dark when I returned to school.

My phone received a notification for "Medical Feedback Evaluation."

Clicking through the Central Hospital's mini-program, I saw Yi Yu's doctor profile page—

Overall rating of 4.9, with unanimous positive reviews below. Many comments mentioned the doctor's excellent medical skills, gentle demeanor, and the comforting feeling he gave.

Some comments even described the doctor as amiable.

I clicked through to Yi Yu's personal introduction.

The profile showed that he graduated from the top medical university in the country and earned a doctorate from a world-class medical school in a very short time.

Despite his young age, he had already published articles in numerous prestigious journals.

However, he had only been working at the Central Hospital for a short time, less than a year.

So, this is indeed just a coincidence, right?

Dr. Yi was just a stranger with the same name, appearance, demeanor, and aura as "Yi Yu."

Yet, even as I told myself this, I could feel another voice inside me saying—

Is there really such a coincidence?

-

I returned to the dormitory and heard Li Meimei's excited voice, obviously on the phone with someone—

Li Meimei: Han Lei! My resume got through! Huanxin Technology wants me to come in for an interview on Wednesday morning...

Huanxin Technology?

Did they give results so quickly?

I opened my email, and a new message popped up—[Huanxin Technology] Interview Notification.

Opening the email, I saw it stated that my resume had passed the screening and I was invited to an interview on Wednesday morning at Huanxin Technology's headquarters.

By this time, Li Meimei had finished her call with her boyfriend, Han Lei.

Me: Meimei, I passed Huanxin Technology's screening too.

Li Meimei: That's great! Then we can go together on Wednesday.

Li Meimei's excitement was palpable.

If it were before, I would have been just as happy as her. After all, this meant our future careers might have a good start.

But now, my heart felt heavy, worried about the unknown and uncertain dangerous game that might restart in two weeks.

I couldn't feel pure joy about getting an interview opportunity.

Fortunately, Meimei had always been oblivious to my mood, and didn't notice my change.

Li Meimei: By the way, I collected some interview-related information. I'll send it to you. We'll have time to prepare tomorrow.

Me: Okay, thanks, Meimei.

This morning, I had a required course, so Li Meimei and I went to class together.

Being able to sit in a classroom and quietly absorb knowledge felt like a luxury to me now.

-

Time quickly passed, and on Wednesday morning, Li Meimei and I set off together, taking a ride to Huanxin Technology's office building.

Huanxin Technology's headquarters was located in an office building in the city center, which looked particularly impressive from the outside.

However, even more eye-catching was another silver office building behind the Huanxin Technology building.

It stood in the most central and prime location, towering over the surrounding buildings, like a crane standing among chickens, extremely imposing.

Me: What's in that building?

Li Meimei: I don't know, probably offices rented out to various companies.

Li Meimei and I entered the Huanxin Technology building and, following the signs, sat in the conference room with the other candidates, waiting for the interviews.

Just then, a bustle of voices and footsteps echoed from the hallway outside. Candidates sitting near the door curiously peered out and began to whisper among themselves.

Candidate A: Who are these people...?

Candidate B: ...They seem like high-level company management, or perhaps important business partners?

Candidate D: They must be important guests. I saw our Huanxin Technology president, Zhao Yang, accompanying them.

Candidate B: You haven't even been hired yet, and you're already saying "our Huanxin Technology?"

I looked towards the sound, only seeing a group of people escorting someone as they passed by the doorway. Among them, a black silhouette looked somewhat familiar.

I didn't pay it any more mind, and continued reading the materials Li Meimei had sent me.

Soon, it was my turn to be interviewed.

As I walked into the interview room, a thought suddenly popped into my head—should I try using Silhouette to help me?

I wanted to know if these abilities of mine could still be used in the real world.

The interview ended, and I was told I'd be notified of the results in a few days.

As I walked out of the interview conference room, a familiar voice rang in my ear—

System: In the real world, any means that violate the rules of this world are prohibited.

System: Do not do this again.

Me: I can't even use Silhouette to help with an interview?

System: No cheating.

Me: So, are you saying I can't use my abilities or the items I got from the game instances?

System: You can use them as long as they do not violate the world rules.

Me: But using Silhouette wouldn't affect this world's rules, would it?

I questioned again, but the system ignored me.

Both the appearance of the system's voice and my use of Silhouette were undeniable reminders that everything I had experienced was real.

Li Meimei's interview was also over, and we met up on the shopping street downstairs.

-

Li Meimei: How did it go?

Me: Okay, hopefully I passed.

Li Meimei: Han Lei just called and asked me to go shopping with him, so I won't be heading back with you. Be careful on your way home.

Me: Okay, don't worry.

However, as soon as Li Meimei left, I felt time and space around me freeze, and that familiar voice appeared again—

System: You can freely return to the Main God Space using your mind when you are in an idle state.

Me: Why did you show up again?

Me: Why didn't you answer my questions earlier?

System: Do you think you can take my patience for granted with everyone?

His voice turned icy, ringing close to my ear.

System: Remember, I am your overseer. You have no right to question me.

I felt resentful, but still tried to return to the Main God Space.

[CN] 6th Anniversary Event: “Love is on the way” – (Li Zeyan’s Prologue)

⌚ since global server won’t be getting this event anyway, I’m not going to add spoiler warning~ ⌚ ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

[notes from Anika before we begin]: after the last day of the anni event, i was crying so hard that it felt like a sin to not bring it over haha. however, i don’t exactly have much time to spare despite the off days from uni, so this might take a while but i’ll try to update regularly and phase by phase~ (*´▽`*)♡

•─────⋅◍♡◍⋅─────•

【Event Common Prologue】 

The Loveland city hall and tourism bureau have arranged a “Love is on the way” event to celebrate the city being acknowledged as the best city for romantic experiences. 

MC wins an “RV Travel Gift Package” in the lottery event held by the city hall as a part of the program ~  

────────── 

【Event Extended Prologue – Li Zeyan】 

LZY: Why the frown when you’ve just hit the jackpot?

MC: You’re here just in time! Come and help me decide on a new travel plan.

As I agonize over the itinerary for the RV trip, I see Li Zeyan walking in and hurriedly wave at him to come over.

He takes the route map, gives it a brief glance, and then points to a path that starts from Tongyun Ancient town.

LZY: This one looks like it has the most potential for fun.

MC: My thoughts exactly, but the distance is quite far. It’d be quite a long drive…

LZY: This isn’t our first time going on a road trip like this.

LZY: Plus, the fuel coupons I won are enough to cover us for this entire long-distance trip.

At this unexpected answer, I can’t help but burst into laughter.

MC: Hahaha, what!? You know that’s clearly not what I’m worried about!

LZY: [laughs softly]  Dummy, I know.

Contemplating the potential challenges that’d arise in managing his time around, I gently shake his hand.

MC: Taking this route will also add a few extra days to the travel duration we initially planned. I have some vacation days, but will you be able to adjust your schedule?

LZY: Absolutely.

Hearing him respond without the slightest hesitation, I look up at him in elation.

LZY: Every year around this time, when have I ever not freed up my time?

─────

Lounging on the sofa, I cushion my head comfortably on Li Zeyan’s leg, my eyes glued to the short video playing on the phone––

The scene shows couples, family members, or friends lifting their right fists and solemnly pledging adorable vows like “to never be a wet blanket” before setting off on their travels.

Just picturing the scene of Li Zeyan raising his hand to take a vow for tomorrow’s trip involuntarily causes the corners of my lips to hook upwards.

LZY & MC: [simultaneously] During this trip––

Our simultaneously resounding voices catch me off guard for a moment, and then I lock eyes with him.

LZY: Found something fun again?

MC: A super awesome travel hack we’ve never tried before!

LZY: Seeing how you used such a long preamble, it doesn’t sound like something good.

MC: You’re being biased! Who knows, what you wanted to say might not even be as cool as my hack.

LZY: Very true. After all, I only did some pre-travel preparation, and that’s all.

With a subtle smile playing in his eyes, Li Zeyan hands me the tablet he is holding.

My eyes can’t help but widen in astonishment as I look at the minimalistic yet inclusive travel guide that covers everything from destinations to transportation routes and activity arrangements.

The itinerary includes almost every place I wish to check off, along with numerous delightful surprises.

MC: Where did you find this rice wine ice cream? It looks really yummy~

LZY: …you’re the one who found this.

In my bewildered gaze, he digs up our chat history from two days ago and opens a check-in post titled, “I’ll be heartbroken for anyone who hasn’t tried the rice wine ice cream, okay?”

MC: I have no recollection of it at all…

LZY: It’s normal to not have any recollection. Since you started planning, you’ve sent me 63 check-in posts in just two days.

MC: It’s because there are just too many fun things.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, I stick my tongue out at him, but soon, my eyes are drawn to the many empty time slots in the itinerary.

MC: CEO Li, are these time slots designated for spontaneous activities?

LZY: Yup, just in case a certain someone has spontaneous whimsy to add more activities halfway through the trip.

Looking at his perfectly strategized itinerary, I suddenly feel a little guilty about the “travel hack” I’ve just boasted about.

LZY: Tell me, what’s your travel hack?

Looking away from his eyes filled with interest, I try hard to compose myself. Then, I raise my chin with a false bravado.

MC: Your strategy is amazing, and it just so happens that my hack can make it even more perfect!

He noncommittally arches an eyebrow, waiting for me to continue.

MC: Recently, there’s a trending travel vow making waves on the internet…

LZY: …sure enough, it’s a childish game.

MC: No, it’s not! Only the people who are closest to each other can take this vow together!

Seeing my eager expression, he sighs in compromise.

LZY: How do we take the vow?

Not giving him a chance to regret it, I promptly raise my right hand to the side of my forehead and gesture for him to follow suit.

Li Zeyan remains silent for a moment, but eventually, he still closes his right hand into a fist and raises it awkwardly.

LZY: It’s silly.

MC: We’re being silly together~

My eyes crinkle into a smile, and I hand him the vow from my phone.

MC: I solemnly vow, during our anniversary trip, to never cry out because of being tired, to never stay cooped up all day lying in bed, to never get upset over taking ugly photos.

LZY: With mutual tolerance and accommodation, we will complete all the planned activities.

MC: Should anyone violate––

Realizing that his voice has suddenly ceased to be heard, I look to my side with confusion, only to find him staring at the vow with a crease between his brows.

LZY: “An irreconcilable conflict will be declared between the two parties”?

MC: The vow can be effective only when the punishment is severe enough~ Looks like a certain someone is scared now.

Brushing off my immensely complacent expression, he regards me with a contemplative look.

LZY: [he’s amused af LOL] Before proceeding, let’s clarify what “irreconcilable conflict” actually means for our situation.

LZY: Do you intend to return all of Huarui’s (LFG) investment?

MC: [confused] …Eh?

LZY: Also, which one of us will Pudding reside with?

MC: [even more confused] …Pudding?

LZY: And, moving forward, the entrance to Souvenir…

MC: W-W-W-WAIT!

I finally catch on and promptly extend my hand to cover his mouth in an attempt to prevent more dangerous and dreadful words from escaping.

MC: How can such icy words come out of your 37-degree Celsius mouth!

–

[T/N]: In case the joke escapes anyone, 37°C = 98.6°F, which is the normal body temperature – quite close to the boiling temperature and a far cry from the freezing point, so “technically,” he shouldn’t be able to say such “icy/ chilling” words 😂

–

LZY: [laughs softly]  Just wanted to confirm whether a certain someone who is beside herself with joy actually has any practical plans.

LZY: But I think someone else is feeling scared at the moment.

The slightly curved corners of his lips leave a tingling sensation in my palm, giving away a hint of teasing.

Realizing that he is deliberately messing with me, I can’t help but feel indignant.

MC: I’m not scared at all; increasing the challenge a bit more is perfectly fine with me.

LZY: As long as you don’t regret it.

Faced with his amused gaze, I clench my teeth and lay out the rules.

MC: How about counting by the number of times someone fails to keep their vows? Each violation results in a deduction of one point, and the person with the lower score shoulders all the consequences.

LZY: To avoid any attempts to dodge responsibility, let the other person have the authority for judgment.

MC: What if we end up with a tie?

LZY: What would you want to do?

MC: I most certainly don’t want to split up with you!

Upon hearing my immediate, unfiltered answer, he lets out a muffled chuckle.

LZY: In that case, after the game begins, make sure to uphold this attitude of yours.

♡ about the journey of jacks' feelings towards evangeline. ♡

for me, the feelings between evajacks were obvious during the first two books. i have always maintained that their feelings began in ouabh and only developed further in tbona, especially considering that the events in the two books happen very close to each other.

there are several hints of how jacks feels. from the beginning he just doesn't want to get attached to eva and that's why he's constantly pulling away. there are passages that show how he doesn't want her to touch him, of him purposefully moving away but not being able to fight the concern he feels towards her, of him feeling attraction and trying to let it go, and we even have him talking to eva that ''that between them'' would not end well, as he always knew that the two were heading towards a path of no return. but he ends up falling in love. this has already been established.

this, too, is what sets eva apart from all the other girls. jacks' reluctance to get close to eva so as not to kill her was precisely what makes her so special in his story. he truly loved her and put her before himself and his desires to keep her safe. and for him, especially after having seen her die, the idea of hurting her was inconceivable. he wanted her to have a life, he wanted her to live, even if it wasn't with him. guys, this is love.

he literally chooses to give his heart in exchange for something that would keep evangeline safe forever, and in addition he wants to set this same heart on fire because this way he would be able to let her go. because he knows he would always come back. he couldn't stay away from her.

it is said in the book that it is one of the reasons why evangeline was able to kiss him. jacks having loved her so deeply that he didn't want to risk harming her was one of the main factors in her not dying, as evangeline's love alone wouldn't be enough. so, it makes perfect sense that he didn't fight for her love.

this was actually one of my biggest doubts in relation to acftl: what would motivate him to fight for her when he didn't believe he could stay with her?, and he is doing exactly the opposite at the same time as he can't stay away from her and finds excuses and pretexts to stay close. i couldn't have doubted his love with so many passionate declarations, and after seeing him fight so hard to keep her safe, seeing him physically suffer from not being with her, seeing him almost cry more than once with the idea of having to leave her.

i think the way stephanie decided to end the story makes a lot of sense because i couldn't find a reason why jacks would fight to be with her, because he loved her too much for that. and evangeline knowing his heart and understanding how broken he was and still choosing to fight for him is something very, very beautiful.

(it is also shown in this same chapter that he knew that in some capacity evangeline wanted him, just as evangeline knows that jacks, in some capacity, also wanted her and was always protecting her and coming back to her. jacks says that everything what he would need to do to keep her away from apollo would be to remind her that she wanted to be with him, so technically there isn't much for him to fight for. you know, this wasn't stephanie's biggest concern as it had already been established.

i also think it's important to highlight that evangeline also always knew that the biggest challenge wouldn't be having his affection, but making him want to give up the idea of protecting her and simply kiss her. her plan was to literally kiss him and not die because she trusted his and her feelings so much lol)

Hi, I hope you're doing well and are getting plenty of rest between readings!

I was wondering if you could do a reading on Jackson Wang's future spouse? Like how they will meet , what she's like, if they know each other?

Thank you!

hello c: i'm good thank you ! here we go:

... JACKSON WANG'S FUTURE SPOUSE READING ♡

based on tarot. take everything with a grain of salt.

first, i decided to ask if jackson had already met his future spouse and the answer was that he hadn't, but he would meet her soon. with some of the cards that came up (6 of swords & the world), i decided to ask if she was a foreigner, and the answer is yes, but she lives in the same country as jackson does (i believe he currently lives in china, but that might be incorrect. in any case, that doesn't change the answer to my question).

jackson's future spouse is a mature woman who knows what she wants in life. she's someone who can travel extensively and has accumulated significant knowledge through her experiences. she's creative, possibly an artist. she's affectionate, caring deeply for her loved ones and willing to do anything for them. his future spouse is proactive and likes to show her assertiveness, even confronting others when she witnesses injustice. she might belong to an air sign.

she's very vain, but not the type who enjoys wearing accessories. her style is simple, sharp, and beautiful, akin to a silver dagger. she has a short stature and might have black or very dark shoulder-length hair. her wardrobe consists of many dark clothes. i envision a distinct and bold red lipstick when thinking about her energy. she's attractive and seductive at first glance, but as time goes on, she reveals an approachable and kind personality. this initial impression might be a character she's crafted, as i sense she's faced challenging moments and these surface-level personality changes were for a greater purpose. due to this, i think jackson's future spouse might work in a male-dominated profession or something similar.

in her current life phase, she's enjoying the rewards of her hard work. it was tiresome and tough to get to where she is today, but she feels content and believes it was worth it.

she and jackson will likely meet during a trip. it's a relatively short-distance journey, possibly by car. it could be a sophisticated event where they'll cross paths, as i see gala attire.

the question everyone might be wondering is, "will jackson know that his future spouse is his future spouse as soon as he sees her?" the answer is a straightforward no. i don't think jackson believes in love at first sight, at least not in practice (and i agree with him – in my opinion, love is a choice). he'll gradually fall for her, perhaps initially denying his feelings, but there's no escaping it: he'll end up marrying her nonetheless.

Thank you @willtheweaver for the tag♡

My words are: drop, change, freeze, boil

Since i don't have any wip that i remember having words with such words, I'll just randomly write something.

Drop

As I walked along the rocky path, I watched a single raindrop fall from the sky and land softly on a leaf. It was a small, almost insignificant event, yet it held a profound beauty. The drop sparkled in the sunlight, reflecting a miniature world within its tiny form. It reminded me of how even the smallest moments in life can hold immense beauty and significance.

Change

Life is a series of changes, some expected and some taking us by surprise. The seasons change, bringing with them new colors, new challenges, and new opportunities. Embracing change can be difficult, but it is also where growth happens. Like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, change can lead to wonderful and unexpected transformations in our lives.

Freeze

The lake had frozen over during the cold winter night, creating a smooth, glassy surface that shimmered under the morning sun. I stood at the edge, marveling at the transformation. The water, once flowing and alive, was now locked in a moment of stillness. There was a serene beauty to the frozen landscape, a reminder of the quiet power of nature.

Boil

As the pot began to boil, I was drawn to the rhythmic dance of the bubbles rising to the surface. Cooking had always been a source of comfort for me, a way to create and share love with others. The boiling water was a sign that dinner was nearly ready, and the aroma filling the kitchen promised a delicious meal. It was a simple pleasure, yet it brought immense joy and warmth to my home.

I'll tag @cssnder @finickyfelix @sshawthorne @ascotwriting @drchenquill @agirlandherquill and anyone who comes across this post

Your words are: spark, journey, whisper, embrace.
