Part 14 - Gaunt Manor
The weeks after Nagini had shed and you had added her skin into the antidote got more and more exhausting. The potion needed tending up to twelve times a day now and unfortunately, you didn’t own a time turner. Both Tom and you had not gotten a full night’s sleep in a while and it started to show. Every day that went by seemed to last for an eternity while the circles under your eyes carved deeper and deeper by the minute.
The curriculum had gotten more challenging, as the teachers were preparing their students for the N.E.W.T.s. Homework was harder and more time consuming than in any other year before and you had to study for hours afterwards as well. These things alone were enough to wear out most students from year seven. Because of that, thankfully no one got suspicious of how drained you looked. Except for Camille. She had started to ask a lot of uncomfortable questions whenever you had left to take care of the potion. She knew you too well. Sneaking out every two hours to go to the Come and Go Room on top of your studies and school work had drained you to the point where you must have looked like a walking corpse.
One day, when Professor Leveret had dismissed you after an exceptionally long Astronomy lesson in the late evening, you had reached your breaking point and were on the brink of tears, pondering about failing every single subject at the end of the term. There was little to no energy left inside of you. So little, you couldn’t even bring yourself to cry, but merely stared into space with reddened eyes and parted lips. Tom brought you to his room that night and went to the Come and Go Room alone. And when you were in bed, you were too tired to fall asleep. How ironic. You never knew that was even possible. But once you weren’t distracted anymore, your mind started to wander. It was impossible to keep up with everything at once. You would either fail your N.E.W.T.s or spoil the potion. The latter would be worse of course and for no price would you let your sister down, so you mentally prepared yourself to either leave Hogwarts without graduating or repeat your entire seventh year. Oh, there were the tears. Finally. They ran and flowed along with hollow sobs and wouldn’t stop now that they were coming.
What if the Gaunts were so appalled by your failure that they would call the wedding off before you could cure Elsie? They could easily paint you as a disgrace for not completing school and make your sister pay for it. No matter how it would turn out, they would take it out on her. The plan had worked so well until now and yet you were still desperately trapped inside Marvolo’s web.
Half an hour must have passed when Tom came back. The cushion beneath you was damp from the tears that had rolled down your cheeks and you held your breath to prevent another whimper from escaping your mouth. You hastily wiped your face and turned your back on him, trying to breathe slowly and act as if you were asleep. But he noticed, of course. And even his well-chosen words of comfort couldn’t ease your mind. You couldn’t let yourself fall into his touch and allow yourself to drift off to sleep because you knew that in two hours, the circle would start once again.
The next day, when you sat on Tom’s sofa together to study for Transfiguration, and you had just started reading the same paragraph for the third time since you just couldn’t concentrate, it just rolled off your tongue.
“I can’t do this anymore.”
Tom looked up from his book. “What, the twentieth chapter? I just-”
“No, not this,” you sighed and threw your book on the coffee table. “I mean everything. This whole situation. It’s too much.”
“Well,” he said and laid his book aside too. “It certainly is a challenging time. The N.E.W.T.s, the schoolwork and the antidote.”
Challenging was an understatement.
“I just need a full night’s sleep, or two,” you mumbled. “And you do too. We need help, it’s inevitable.”
“Help?” he asked, brows raised. “What do you have in mind? Ask Hilt to look after the potion?”
His expression changed once he had seen how you shifted. “No. Don’t tell me that’s what you were thinking.”
“I thought about asking Camille for help. She wouldn’t tell anyone and she’s always been great at Potions,” you explained. “And then I thought, Ben would ask her where she’s going all the time. He wouldn’t leave her alone anyway. So I considered telling them both.”
Tom looked like he had been petrified for a second, not moving a muscle. “But you’d have to tell him about the pact.”
“I know.”
“That’s what he was after since the beginning.”
“Yes. But I think we can trust him.”
“You think?” he asked. “Why, because he’s stopped Freda’s quill? That’s enough to gain your trust?”
“It’s not like we have a lot of options, Tom,” you replied, slowly but surely getting annoyed by his constant suspicions. “Camille wouldn’t be with him if he was a snitch.”
“We will just plan better. It won’t be easy, but we-”
“No. This is too much work for two people. Just look at us. We’re both barely keeping up. It won’t be long until we’re completely worn out. We need help.”
Tom’s brows were furrowed, still not convinced even if he understood. You stretched out your hand towards him and waited for him to hold it.
“If we don’t ask for help we’re going to mess up. I’ll either fail my N.E.W.T.s or the antidote won’t be finished. No matter what happens, Elsie will pay for it. Please.”
Camille and Ben looked at Tom and you like you had both lost your minds when you took them to the seventh floor. They had asked so many questions on the way there, but you were far too tired to answer them all. Besides, they would just be able to see for themselves in a bit.
When you had arrived, you said to them once more: “I’m going to show you something now. And it is unbelievably important that you understand this needs to stay between us. No one else must know.”
Camille and Ben nodded, both with serious and still confused looks on their faces.
“And might I add,” Tom said as he looked directly at Ben. “That my memory charm is very powerful. If you can’t keep your mouth shut I’ll obliviate you and I might even make you forget that you have magic running through your veins.”
Ben nodded again. “Alright mate, I got it.”
The door to the Come and Go Room appeared and the two wore the same expression that you must have had when you had first seen it.
“Come in,” you said as you opened the door.
The room was a bit tight with the four of you in there. You stirred the liquid inside the cauldron like you did each time while Ben and Camille looked around curiously.
“A potions room?” Camille asked once the door had been closed. “Now, can you please tell us what’s going on?”
You looked at Tom, who stared back at you, lips pressed together and still unsure if what you were about to do was a good idea. But still, he nodded. He had every right to be suspicious, you had to admit now that you had brought them there. But Camille was to be trusted and frankly, you were far too tired to think of any consequences.
So you began to tell them everything from where it all had started, a day before the school year, at your house. Camille knew half of the story already, but once you told them about the Gaunts and that they were the ones who had cursed Elsie, she stood there wide-eyed, just like Ben.
“And this is why I wanted to ask you both for your help with the potion,” you said once you had told them every detail. “If you don’t mind of course. If you’re willing to help, everyone would just have to come here three times a day. That would make our lives a lot easier.”
They didn’t even need to look at each other and nodded right away.
“Of course,” Camille said. “It all makes sense now. Oh, you must be exhausted. Twelve times a day?”
“I can come more often if you want,” Ben chimed in. “I don’t have as much to do as you, my N.E.W.T.s are still a year away and I wouldn’t have bothered studying much this year anyway.”
“What a surprise,” Tom muttered, even though there was a hint of a smirk on his face.
“One more question,” Ben said. “What about the last ingredient? Banshee tears you said, right? Where are you going to get those?”
“Well. That’ll be the final obstacle.”
“My uncle owns a flask,” Tom explained. “He and my Grandfather will be out next week and we’ll go and try to get them. Our house-elves will be on high alert however, so it’s going to be risky.”
“So,” Ben said. “When are we going?”
“We?” Camille and you asked simultaneously.
“You can’t sneak your way in anyway with the elves around, right?” he said. “Four people are a better distraction than two. I’m in.”
“You weren’t even invited in,” Tom said.
“I don’t care,” Ben shrugged. “I’m still in if you need me.”
Tom sighed as he walked in circles around the cauldron, his hand covering his mouth while he considered Ben’s offer. “As much as I hate to admit it,” he then said. “I think you might be right. A distraction could be of benefit.”
“See?” Ben chuckled. “The muggleborn isn’t that dumb after all.”
“Oh brush off the arrogance, Hilt. We don’t have the flask yet.”
“Boys, please. Let’s discuss that another time and let me show you how to tend to the potion.”
You spent the following week planning for Saturday, when the Gaunts would leave their manor to attend the honouring of the Order of Merlin. You had also gotten some most needed hours of sleep. Not only that but just knowing that Camille and Ben were taking some weight off your shoulders made it much easier to concentrate on school and homework as well.
On Saturday evening, when you met at the fireplace connected to the Floo-Network, you went over your plan again.
“And don’t forget,” Tom said. “There are two house-elves. They’re loud, but not very bright. Much like Gryffindors.”
Camille stifled a laugh and looked over to Ben.
“Mate,” Ben replied. “Can you stop bullying me? I’m helping you out here.”
“Sorry,” Tom answered and bit the inside of his cheek. “I was just joking.”
“Oh yes. Riddle’s first joke in eighteen years and of course I take the fall.”
“Guys,” you scolded. “Get it together. Do you remember everything?”
“Yes,” Camille replied. “We are Theresa Carrow and Connor Prewett, your new and very pureblooded friends. We’ll be distracting the house-elves while Tom and you look for the flask. Once you got it, Tom will obliviate them and we'll come right back here.”
“Alright then,” you said as you watched Tom disappearing inside the fireplace. “See you there.”
The green flames consumed you whole once you let the Floo Powder fall and transported you swiftly to Gaunt manor, where you found yourself in a dark hallway, the reception hall, perhaps.
Tom was there already and offered his hand for you to step out of the fireplace. Camille came next, followed right by Ben. Before you could say anything, you heard two raspy, high-pitched voices coming your way.
“Who is it?” one voice asked. “Master? Is it you?”
“Show yourselves,” the other voice croaked and the elf snapped her fingers, making all the candles around the room light up. It still was dim, but you could see them a bit better now. Both of them were wrinkly and old, their faces scrunched up in suspicion. They didn’t look like the elves at your home at all but were hunching and worn out, completely different to Tummy. The male elf, Scrook, missed a large piece of his left ear and the female one, Hokey, walked with a severe limp.
“Master Riddle,” Scrook said once he had detected him and bowed tediously. “What do we owe the honour? Master Gaunt didn’t tell us you would visit today.”
“He didn’t?” Tom asked. “He must have forgotten. I told him that I’d come by today. Isn’t he here?”
“No Master,” Hokey answered. “They just left thirty minutes ago. Should we inform them for you?”
“Not necessary. I just wanted to treat my friends to dinner, you see. May I introduce you to Miss Carrow, Mister Prewett, and my fiancée.”
“Oh, networking, yes,” Scrook said and bowed once again. “Welcome to Gaunt manor.”
“Shall we prepare some food for you, Master?” Hokey asked.
“Certainly. Bring my guests to the sitting room, will you? I’ll join in a bit.”
“Of course, Master. Of course.”
The two elves escorted Camille and Ben to the back, bickering and wrangling like an old couple.
“Quick now,” Tom whispered to you and walked the opposite way, towards the basement. The whole mansion was cold and dark, mahogany bleakly spread across the floors and even on some walls. The marble staircase in the entrance hall might have looked impressive, but only added to the frigid aesthetic of the house.
“Allow me to ask, Mister Prewett,” Scrook said while Ben and Camille took a seat. “What magical family do you belong to? I’ve never heard your last name before.”
“I, uh. I’m related to the Black family,” Ben said.
“The noble and most ancient house of Black,” Hokey crowed. “What an honour.”
The corridor to Morfin’s chamber was long, you had walked there for at least a minute, and it got even colder with every step you took. When you finally reached the door at the far end, Tom halted and you took a deep breath. Tom turned the doorknob, but the entry remained closed.
“Locked,” he said. “Alohomora.”
The door stayed shut. Tom frowned. That would have been too easy.
“A different spell?” you asked. “Or is there a key somewhere?”
He shook his head. “No. It’s a charm.”
Merlin’s beard. What could it be? You thought about what Morfin could have done to lock the door. Something that only he or Marvolo would be able to use.
“What about Parseltongue?” you asked. “Does Morfin know it too?”
“Yes,” Tom answered and proceeded to speak unfamiliar words in the language. The doorknob clicked and sprung open by itself. “There we go.”
Meanwhile, in the sitting room, one of the elves got more and more interested in Ben and Camille’s backstory. “Can Scrook offer you a drink Miss? Sir?” he asked, while Hokey was busy in the kitchen. “Please, if you don’t mind, Mister Prewett. Would you tell me how exactly you’re related to Arcturus Black? Master Morfin is on good terms with him and I wonder why I’ve never heard of you before.”
When you entered Morfin’s chamber you were surprised by its size. It was almost as large as the entire Potions classroom in Hogwarts. Dead bats and shrunken heads were hanging down from the low ceiling here and there, along with strange feathers and strings that must have been some creature’s strands of hair. Despite its size, the room was crammed with bottles, finished potions and ingredients of all sorts. It wasn’t messy, not at all, but very chaotic for anyone unfamiliar.
“Morfin arranges everything by type,” Tom said. “Liquids from living creatures must be in this corner then.”
You both started opening the drawers and looked for anything that could possibly be Banshee tears.
Ben and Camille still got cross-examined by Scrook. “Interesting, interesting. Mister Black is your great-uncle, you say. Have you met him lately?“
In the chamber, you had searched for over ten minutes already, and gone through hundreds of little flasks. The number of different liquids in this room must have been in the thousands. Slughorn’s stock was absurdly small compared to this.
“Can’t we just use a summoning charm?” you sighed, going through your fifteenth drawer of vials filled with animal blood.
“No,” Tom said while closing a drawer. “The elves would notice it immediately.”
You shoved yet another drawer shut. “Bloody hell. What if it’s hidden?”
“That’s possible,” he mumbled, still scanning over all the flasks inside the cupboard.
“Wait,” you said. “What if we’re looking in the wrong place?”
“All liquids are here, as I said.”
“Yes, but I just remembered. Slughorn said this years ago. Banshee tears when stored, turn into tiny, pearly white crystals.”
Tom lifted his head to look at you.
“Where are the solids stored?”
He pointed at the opposite corner of the room. “Over there.”
At the same time, Hokey brought appetizers into the sitting room. “Enjoy,” she grumbled, her tone not fitting her kind words at all.
“Thank you,” Ben said after he and Camille had taken some canapés from the tray.
Both elves froze in shock, deeply offended. “Sir, you have not just thanked Hokey, have you?” Scrook asked.
“Of course not,” Camille stated, holding her head high. “What are you thinking? He thanked me for handing him a canapé.”
“I see,” Scrook said, eyes narrowed. “I’ll go and look for Master Riddle now. He’s taking awfully long, whatever he’s doing.”
“No!” Camille and Ben shouted which lead the elf to turn back around.
“No,” Camille repeated, her voice a lot calmer. “I’d like to know more about this house. Can you tell us how long you have worked for the Gaunts?”
In the chamber, you went through the flasks and glass containers on the other side of the room, where the solid ingredients were stored, while Tom still roamed the liquids. And finally, between fairy wings and unicorn liver, lay a tiny flask of Banshee tears.
“Got it,” you called. “There it is.”
Tom walked right over and checked out the flask too. “Good girl, very smart thinking.”
You lightly pushed him with your elbow for what he had just called you and smiled. “Let’s go.”
Scrook had gotten disturbingly close to Ben. “I’ll gladly tell you all about this house, Miss,” he said, not taking his eyes off the boy. “When Mister Prewett reveals his real name.”
“My real name?” Ben asked. “What do you mean?”
“You’re not a pureblood, are you?” the elf hissed. “I can smell it.”
“Excuse you, elf!” Camille bellowed. She was a much better actress than Ben. “You surely didn’t mean to insult Mister Prewett in that way. I must have misheard you. Now apologise.”
Before they knew it, Scrook had gripped Ben’s hand and pulled it towards his own face, sniffing at the inside of Ben’s underarm. “I knew it!” the elf yelled. “Mudblood! Hokey quick, alarm the Masters!”
Hokey came running in from the kitchen at the same time as Tom and you arrived in the sitting room. All three of you stood there in the archway and looked at Camille, Ben and Scrook in disbelief.
“Traitors!” Scrook screamed and accidentally knocked the tray of canapés off the table. “What have you done, Master Riddle? Bringing a mudblood into these halls.”
Ben had finally wrenched his arm away from the elf, holding on to it tightly while standing up straight, his chest heaving.
“The Masters must know,” Scrook whined and turned around. “We have to tell them immediately, Hokey.”
“Enough,” Camille said as she rose from her seat. “Stupefy!”
In an instant, Scrook fell to the floor without another word, completely unconscious. Hokey let out a yelp at the sight, turned around and ran toward the kitchen.
“Quick, before she apparates,” you shouted.
“Stupefy,” Tom called with his wand pointed at Hokey. “We don’t have much time. The charm wears off on elves much quicker than on humans.”
Ben and Tom dragged the two elves to the entrance hall and dropped them next to the fireplace, while Camille cleaned up the mess on the floor, where the canapés had landed.
When you had gathered by the fireplace again, Scrook already opened his eyes, blinking slowly.
“Leave,” Tom urged and pointed his wand at the elves. “Obliviate.”
Camille went first and disappeared into the flames, followed by Ben and you.
Back in Hogwarts, when Tom stepped out of the fireplace, you finally felt like you were able to breathe again.
“We did it,” you said and fell into his arms. “I can’t believe we really did it.”
Tom held you for a moment, his arms wrapped tightly around your waist, then moved his head and looked at Ben when he let go. “What happened?”
Ben still hadn’t calmed down. He rubbed his hands on his trousers repeatedly and shook his head. “I don’t know. They were shocked when I thanked them for serving us food. Then the elf said he could smell that I’m not a pureblood.”
“You thanked them?” Tom asked. “Elves don’t accept that.”
“How am I supposed to know that? I’ve never seen a house-elf before.”
“Forget about that now,” Camille interrupted. “Did you get them? The Banshee tears.”
“Yes,” you said and pulled them out of your pocket. “We got them.”

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . 10 . 11
It just felt like yesterday you told Baekhyun you wanted to go home, and now here you were, holding his hand while he had a big gym back thrown over his other shoulder as you were making your way towards the platform to catch the KTX home. The crowds were crazy given the time of the year and it was making you anxious just a little bit.
“It's good we booked the tickets early,” murmured Baekhyun as you both stepped on the escalator leading downstairs. He stood in front of you which made you taller than him for a few seconds and he blessed you with a sweet smile. He reached out with his hand and caressed your protruding belly. Unfortunately, wearing a huge and thick winter jacket made it almost impossible to feel his gentle touch.
“You are always well prepared, my boy,” you praised proudly.
He hummed, retreating his hand and quirking his eyebrows at you seductively. “I like that nickname, my girl.”
You let out a snort and Baekhyun took your hand again as you got off the escalator.
“Pff, territorial, are we?” you teased.
This time, it was Baekhyun who let out a snort, squeezing your hand in warning because he knew your little game. He saw right through it. After all, you had been playing these teasing games with him since the beginning of this week and now it was Friday, Korean New Year happening just this weekend.
Once inside the train, Baekhyun let go of your hand to let you sit by the window, while he was taking out necessary things for the ride. One tumbler with hot lemon tea for you, another one with coffee for himself, his sports management book and a notebook, and for you the small knitting kit to finish off the little piece you had been working on. With a thank you, you accepted everything he was handing you and he gave you a smile before placing the bags and winter jackets up in the holder and taking a seat next to you. Reaching over, he hovered his hand over the window pane.
“What?” you asked.
“Checking if it isn't too cold for you,” he murmured and seemingly calmed down when he got a positive result. “Can't have you catching a cold.” He sat back down, making himself comfortable. “You sure you don't want to have your jacket just in case?”
A smile of complete adoration decorated your face as you looked at his worried eyes that were boring into yours. “No, honey, it's okay for now. Don't worry too much.”
He nodded, though commented: “Heard you sneezing this morning while I was in the bathroom.”
You giggled, covering your mouth as people were still finding their places in the car. “I didn't know it was forbidden.”
“I'm just trying to make sure you're fine.”
“I am fine, I really am,” you reassured and wanted to lean in to give him a peck but was too shy since people were all around standing, some unpacking stuff.
He observed you with a gentle smile before nodding and turning to his book that was on his lap when his phone notified him of a message.
You usually didn't pay attention because you honestly aren't the type to do so. You already felt bad that he was constantly around you, and you constantly around him. You were pregnant, too sick and had too much of a high blood pressure, and he was neglecting his friends because of that.
“Don't think I didn't catch up to your little games, by the way,” he said nonchalantly, not looking your way and startling you.
You frowned at him but you sensed what he was referring to.
“If you continue, I can't guarantee what will happen.”
“Is that a threat?” you chirped, intrigued.
He gave you a handsome smile. “Whatever you like to call it.”
You bit your lip, remembering this week's happenings when you kept teasing him and doing everything the exact opposite of his preference or liking. He was just so easy to tease when you knew he couldn't throw you over his shoulder and tickle the living hell out of you, or have you his way as means of punishing you (pregnancy DID have pros).
This week while teaching the kids at the elementary school, they became too curious about you and your huge stomach. So, whatever Baekhyun said and tried to explain to the kids you passionately opposed to. So much so that the kids ended up giggling and going against Baekhyun's word that day, which really wasn't the best situation, given he was their master they had to respect. It seemed you were much more playful and willing to speak up with kids then his university team and Jiyoung. But he wasn't complaining, despite huffing at the kids' attitude and later at yours. Plus, Baekhyun was very busy with studies in his free time the whole of the past two weeks, so you might have been begging for his attention the entire time, without you knowing it.
Back to the current day, another couple of more notifications later and Baekhyun picked up his phone, scrolling through the messages. Although you were already going through your knitting threads, checking each knot with care, you still saw from your peripheral vision how he shot you a wary glance. He typed up a message and this time put his phone on silent before putting it in the holder in front of him.
Deciding not to comment, you continued, starting on the small gloves just as the train departed.
Baekhyun leaned in to your side, checking what you had been working on so diligently. When you started on this piece, you had asked him about the colours he liked so that you could use them. “What is this going to be?”
His breath tickled your cheek and you turned your head slightly to have a look at him. He followed you with his eyes. “Little gloves for out little ones.”
Another handsome smile and he pecked your lips, the action ending up with a tad too loud of a smooch for a public space but he enjoyed the reddening of your cheeks as he pressed another kiss to your cheek.
The entirety of the train ride, Baekhyun immersed himself in the book, highlighting important parts, checking his notes and scribbling more information around the paragraphs in the book. He looked handsome even when he was focused, tongue sometimes sticking out between his lips that were otherwise in a tight line. Watching him leaning over the book, you couldn't help but eye his strong jaw and handsome profile. A sight you knew so well; every curve, every plane, that straight nose, the plump lips and the straight chin. He seemed to be all straights and smooths, and you loved every part of it dearly.
“You know, your stare is burning.”
Few seconds later he looked up, catching you but you didn't even make an effort to not stare. He let out a breathy chuckle. “Hope you ain't getting horny here,” he murmured just for you to hear.
At that, you gasped and he laughed, knowing how embarrassed that would make you feel. “You wish! But it's you not getting any anyway,” you retorted in a shushed voice, turning back to your knitting, pretending to be offended.
“Is it really me?” he raised an eyebrow at you, handsome and all.
You ignored him, focusing way too much on the knitting, except you weren't and ended up making a mistake. “Shit.”
“No swearing while being pregnant,” he chastised, now back to his studies.
The way you took in a deep breath through your nose was loud enough for Baekhyun to hear, which ended up making him smile under his nose.
“I am throwing you off the train, Baekhyun.”
He put his pen down and turned to you, a thoughtful look on his face. “I read that our babies are big enough to actually recognize what is being said. They are able hear now. So this is the phase where we should make them listen to classical music and-” he looked at you pointedly, “not swear. Unless you want them as brats.”
When not replying, he added, reaching out to tap at your lips with his index finger. “So watch that mouth of yours.”
“If that's what you want,” you sighed nonchalantly, ignoring the burning of the touch of his fingertips on your lips. “I will comply.”
Retracting his hand, he had a lopsided smile on his face. “That's my girl.”
You rolled your eyes, though not meaning it. “So territorial.”
Baekhyun laughed.
-
Couple of hours later and both of you were in your respective homes welcomed by the typical countryside air filled with animals and hay. Your two homes were literally next to each other connected by one garden between both families.
Both Baekhyun's and your family were waiting outside together - already acting like one big family - but after twenty minutes of greetings, squealings, belly rubbings (mostly from Baekhyun's family) you made yourself comfortable at home, your legs severely swollen and tiredness taking over you.
Parting with your boyfriend was at first difficult, because you realised Baekhyun was going to his house and you were going to your own. It would be a first in a long time where you would spend the night away like this from each other, or at least you thought. You were hoping he would sneak in to your room in the middle of the night, or vice versa. You felt like you had the right to demand to sleep next to the father of the children you were carrying.
“I will come see you soon,” Baekhyun had whispered in your ear just before parting and his hot breath was still palpable on your skin now. He was incredible.
Your father calling out your name was what made you snap back to reality, momentarily embarrassed about the dirty thoughts you kept having the whole day. Geez. As weird and annoyed you were towards Baekhyun in the beginning of your pregnancy, where sometimes even his touches were unwelcome, now you were the exact opposite; you were growing guilt feelings towards him for using him for pleasures. But it wasn't like you were doing everything against his will. He was very much to blame, too.
“Yes?”
“What do you crave for dinner? Mum is already heating up late lunch for you,” he stepped into your small room where you were sitting on the heated floor, smiling pleasantly. You noticed the heavy wrinkles around his eyes.
“I'm fine with anything, as long as it's homemade,” you replied and crawled back on your mat that you rolled out earlier to lie down.
You father tsked. “I will bring more mats, it must be uncomfortable now, huh? You got used to sleeping on a soft mattress.”
Before he could turn to leave you called him back, lying down. “It's fine dad. I missed sleeping on the floor like this. I shouldn't have gotten too comfortable anyway.”
He sighed and joined you on the mat, sitting down cross-legged, batting shy eyelashes down on your protruding belly that your thick sweater could barely cover. “So, how are you feeling? Your mother told me something here and there but,” he shrugged, not knowing how to approach the topic, “are you okay?”
You smiled to yourself. Him being the typical father, he always kept distance between you two, not knowing how to approach his daughter, and leaving all the work to his wife. “I'm okay. It isn't easy but it's what I want.”
“I'm sure you two didn't count on three, though.”
You let out a quiet laugh. “No. It was a big shock but by now I am sure this is what it is supposed to be. Sounds cheesy, huh?”
Your father coughed, smiling to himself. “Is Baekhyun taking good care of you?” he asked, not looking your way as he was facing the door.
You melted at his name. “Yeah, dad, he is taking way too much care of me.”
“Good. I always knew he was a good boy and possibly the right one for you.”
At his words, you melted even more because he couldn't have been more right. At first, it was a shock to your parents that Baekhyun was pursuing you out of all the beautiful village girls that were his age. He did see you as a little girl for the longest time until you weren't a little girl, but a beautifully grown high school student, not too far from a full-grown woman. Despite your parents being against you two dating until you would at least finish high school and Baekhyun his military service, you two always stole some alone time.
“Thank you,” you said quietly.
Your dad turned his head slightly, not quite looking at you. “For?”
Pressing your lips together, you squeaked: “For allowing me to be with him. For letting me go to Seoul to support him. For accepting me as a pregnant woman with no marriage. For not pushing us. I know it must be hard and gossips in this village are reckless but… you and mum endure it and I just wanted to thank you.”
“I trust Baekhyun. I trust he will do something soon.” He paused for a moment, still not meeting your eye. “Did you talk about marriage, though?”
“Yes, not too long ago.”
“You will get married, right?”
Your heart skipped a beat. “Ye-yeah.”
Now, he looked at you, turning his head properly. After a little while, he murmured again: “I trust Baekhyun.”
-
Sitting down for dinner at the small table, you graciously took gulps of hot vegetable soup, loving the special taste your mother's soup had.
“Oh my, eat slowly dear,” you mother gasped, “you will have an upset stomach.”
“I missed your cooking so much, mum,” you whined, squirming a bit to try and find a comfortable position. Your back was giving you hard time.
“I missed you, my daughter,” she cooed and added more soup to your bowl. “Eat up, it will make you feel good. Is the heating okay in your room?”
You nodded. Given the house was a traditional one, your parents still used wood for heating up the ondol system. “It's perfect. Nothing can beat the effectiveness of floor heating.”
You mother being satisfied with the answers, smiled and caressed your back. “Did you go for the recent check-up before coming here?”
You nodded and swallowed. “Yeah. I will have to take some classes about correct back posture and some exercises.”
“Well, that is important. You already look like a pregnant lady with one just before giving birth.”
She was right. People were giving you wary glances if you ever walked alone, scared you might give birth right on the place but this was just half-way through your pregnancy. Little did they know it was three little ones inside.
You shrugged and she chuckled, muttering to her husband proudly: “Our little daughter.”
-
It was the first morning where you woke up alone and naturally with the chicks outside. They were chirping happily, eagerly waiting for someone to come and feed them while you heard the cows scoffing in the stables.
Lying on your mat, you were thinking how much you didn't like waking up alone like this. It was your childhood room, yes, but a person who became the most important human being in your life was not present.
“At least I have you guys,” you murmured, closing your eyes while you rubbed your stomach slowly, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Thinking about what could Baekhyun be doing in that moment, your phone vibrated, notifying you of an incoming message. You smiled, reaching for it, already knowing who it was. Yesterday, you both decided to stay at your parents' houses, though you did meet Baekhyun outside for a little bit, just to share little kisses and hugs before bed.
you up yet elephant?
Wow. You weren't expecting this nickname so early on in the day. It reminded you of your little game pretty fast.
Deciding to tease him, you didn't reply. Instead, you got up and greeted your parents who were already getting ready to work.
“It's New year,” you rasped, “how about you don't work today?”
“Oh, didn't someone get too comfortable in Seoul? You know we cannot go a day without work, honey,” answered your mother as she was about to enter the wooden porch to put on her boots. “I warmed up the vegetable porridge for you, so make sure to eat it all, or else Baekhyun will have my neck.”
You scoffed. “Trust me, he is harmless.”
“Good morning, mother! I hear I am being badmouthed since early morning!”
Your mother laughed, looking probably at Baekhyun who you had yet to spot. “Dear, you cannot compete with a pregnant woman's temper.”
“Is she mad?”
You laughed, walking to the door to get a glimpse of him. He was in his sports pants and winter jacket, though his hair was messy, probably also just woken up. “Elephant has been up for a while now and she is not mad.” And you left back inside, not liking the cold breeze coming from outside.
“Go, have breakfast with her, Baekhyun” nudged him your mother and was already going out, not sparing you a glance. “Me and dad will be outside.”
Baekhyun greeted her one more time before taking off his sneakers and entering the house, closing the door behind him so that the warmth wouldn't leak too much.
You were just about to sit down when you felt his hands on your hips and his breath on your neck, his cold nose digging into your cheek sending chills down your spine. You squealed. “You're cold!”
“And you're hot,” he murmured, not moving at your protest, enjoying your reactions too much. He slid his hands further around your stomach and a bit too low. “You're okay?”
“Yeah,” your breath hitched at his touches, already ignited inside. “Elephant has been wonderful without the bad hunter.”
“Offended?” he asked in a gentle voice, referring to his text earlier.
Letting your head fall on his shoulder, you replied: “Not at all. Not even a bit.”
He chuckled and you realised how much you missed the sound even though it hadn't been that long you two separated. “Alright, I will take that.”
“You want porridge?” you asked, and squeezed his hands on your belly. “It's still fresh.”
“Is there something else?”
“Like what?” you scoffed ready to move forward to sit down, but he pressed your back to his front.
“You?”
Your heart went into a slight overdrive. “Baekhyun.”
“Hm?” he played innocent. “We are alone now.”
You turned around and finally looked at him properly, making sure to pin him down with a stern gaze. “Now there, naughty boy, not in this house. But…” you trailed off, avoiding his stare before finding his hopeful one, “a kiss…?”
He smirked and leaned in right away, pressing his lips to yours in a small, welcoming kiss that wasn't supposed to lead anywhere, only to convey one message: good morning, my love, I missed you. Baekhyun moved his hands from your hips to your face, cradling you carefully as you made one last step towards him to get as much closure as your belly was physically making it possible for you. You stood on your tippy toes, curling your arms around his neck to bring him closer to you, and he let out a low “mhhhm”. Smooching your lips a couple more times, he leaned back, giving you an affectionate smile as he ran his thumb under your eye. “Let's have that fresh porridge, then.”
And so you both moved to sit down and chatter the early morning away, munching on the porridge and drinking fresh tea until Baekhyun's phone let out a ding, notifying the first message of the day. He grabbed it, reading it before typing out a fast message and putting it away quickly.
“Who is writing you during New Year?” you asked, trying not to show too much interest.
He pressed his lips together. “You won't like my answer anyway, so let's not talk about it.”
“What, Jiyoung doesn't have her own family to spend the holidays with?”
He sighed. “She is just worried about the competition-”
“It's in July, Baekhyun,” you emphasized, already exasperated. “It's January now. Plus, she kept messaging you yesterday too!”
He called your name to get your attention and you shut your mouth. “We have a competition in two weeks between the universities!”
You pursed your lips in dissatisfaction and crossed your arms on your chest, just to realize your breasts were aching. Without wincing too obviously, you put your hands back in your lap. “Well, can she chill for at least this weekend?”
“I told her to let it go,” he retorted and grabbed his phone, opening kakaotalk quickly to show you.
Let's deal with this next week. Enjoy your holidays.
You knew his chatting style. He was being official and indifferent when he wrote in capital letters and used diacritics.
“Satisfied?”
Giving him a slight frown, you shrugged and turned to collect the plates when he grabbed your wrist to stop you. “Hey, answer me.”
“It's fine, really. Elephant will now clean up, hm?” you said, giving him a smile.
“I should be the one offended. You didn't even reply to my message this morning,” he pouted, ignoring your attempt to flee from the situation.
“I understand. Sorry for overreacting,” you mumbled, not meeting his eye.
He didn't say anything, instead he turned to collect the dishes and move them to the kitchen. “How about we take a walk in the village? Let's relive some old memories,” said Baekhyun when he reappeared from the kitchen, hands in the pockets of his pants.
“Sure,” you smiled and attempted to get back on your fee. He came quickly to help you, knowing your back must have been hurting. “Thank you, honey.”
He hummed, tapping your back gently before giving you a peck on the lips. “Let's meet outside in ten?”
“I still need to freshen up, let's make it thirty.”
He laughed. “Sure. No rush, okay? We've got the whole weekend, just for ourselves.”
-
After letting your parents know you were heading out, hand in hand you took a stroll around the village, saying hi to the neighbours and old friends. When some of the old high school classmates spotted you two, you were welcomed by howling and claps which made you embarrassed to no ends.
“You guys took it to the next stage, eh?” called one of your old classmates eyeing you up and down, and Baekhyun couldn't help squeezing your hand protectively.
“Shut up, Kim, do you even get paid,” you snapped, recovering from the blush.
He gave you a nervous laugh. “You sure grew a sharp tongue.”
You rolled your eyes but both of you laughed, instead talking about the times you didn't see each other and exchanged the news.
You relieved so many past memories, it left you feeling all nostalgic.
“Did you even have any girlfriends?” rumbled Baekhyun once you separated and moved to the outer fields of the village. “I remember you could barely look at a boy back in the days.”
“What, is the bad hunter jealous?” you teased, an excited skip in your step.
“Sure,” Baekhyun scoffed, “he has nothing on me.”
“Eyyy, self-condent men never appeased me.”
“You, sweet cheeks, are asking for a punishment.” Baekhyun, strangely, didn't have the playful glint in his eyes. He seemed deep in thought for some reason, but you weren't about to go too deep into that, given he would get back to his normal sense soon.
You just let out a hum instead of an actual answer.
As you walked on, him and you both met lots of old friends, all of them reaching out to touch you - which was fine when it came to your friends, but Baekhyun's girl classmates touching you was a bit off. Despite that, you politely answered.
“Aren't you afraid of the birth? I mean… it's three kids!” said one, with long black hair that shone beautifully even in the gloomy January daylight.
Trying not get triggered with the images of birth and all the possible things that could go wrong, you just smiled. “I can't escape it, can I?” you said, looking up at Baekhyun who gave you a tight-lipped smile.
“You will be fine, I'm sure. Anyone with Baekhyun by their side must be just happy,” she exclaimed, not even glancing at you.
You shifted on your feet uncomfortably, suddenly wanting to go home.
“Oh, please,” pinked Baekhyun, laughing nervously.
“You're right,” you agreed a tad too loudly, “and he knows it, too. His self-confidence knows no barriers.” Looking up at his surprised eyes, you gave him a spiteful smirk. “Shall we move on, honey? My feet are killing me.”
“Then Baekhyun didn't change much,” replied the girl, a wide smile on her face.
“Well, it was nice seeing you, Kyunga. I will see you around,” waved Baekhyun, squeezing my hand so that I would move with him.
“I hope so!” shouted the girl at your retreating backs.
Walking in silence for a little bit, Baekhyun finally spoke up: “Wanna tell me what's eating you away?”
“Nothing at all.”
“Liar.”
You sighed, stopping. “Listen. All is good. It's you who threatened me earlier, isn't it? You're being all moody.”
“What, so you can get jealous and I can't?”
You snickered. “You better enjoy it then,” you said, not showing satisfaction that finally, it wasn't just you to get all worked up for nothing, “because I am not letting it go.”
-
That evening, both of your families were eating together, this time at Baekhyun's house which wasn't much different from your own. The entire time till dinner you kept being just like the whole week. Going against him, sarcastic and mean although you both knew you didn't mean it. Despite that, during dinner he was getting slightly ticked off and ended up glaring at you and staring you down with a stern gaze that said it clearly: stop it or…!
And you wanted to get a taste of that “or…!” part very badly which was why you didn't stop.
“Baekhyun, how is teaching going?” asked your father kindly, the whole family grouped around a dining table on the floor. The dinner was consumed in a pleasant manner, both families enjoying their kids being home. Baekhyun's parents seemed to be extremely protective of you, Baekhyun's mum explaining she wished to have a daughter but instead got a boy. Hence she was careful around you, making sure every wish in your eyes was fulfilled.
While Baekhyun was answering politely, you noticed his phone blowing up again. Honestly, you weren't even sure if it was Jiyoung or not, you had had enough by then. Not entirely sure what you were doing, you stood up as quickly as physically possible and excused yourself for a while, saying you needed some fresh air.
On your way, you caught Baekhyun's eye, but you made sure you were cold before grabbing your winter jacket and leaving the house to put on your shoes on the wooden porch. Deciding the best destination was the stables where warmth was always around, you marched over, meeting the cows in a pleasant coo. The fire was gently sizzling in the corner providing just the perfect temperature for you to stand in your unzipped jacket.
“Ah, I missed milking you, my cows,” you said as you went from one cow to another, greeting them and caressing them between their eyes gently, earning satisfactory nodding from them. They were so cute, you let out another coo until you heard someone clearing their throat at the entrance.
You turned your head to spot Baekhyun watching you carefully. You sighed, turning to face the cows again. “I want to be alone.”
He said your name gently, stepping in and letting the door close shut as he tried to approach you only for you to make two more steps ahead. “What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?”
“I said I want to be alone. Just leave, Baekhyun,” you answered and moved towards the wooden ladder that would lead you up to a small loft where you stored the hay.
“Hey, don't do this,” he said as he saw you walk away. He moved after you, which only prompted you to speed up your pace, quickly grabbing the ladder and climbing up as you tried to lose him. Of course it was silly. There was no way out once you were upstairs in the loft. You would end up being trapped but maybe that was what you wanted.
“Come back, missy!” you heard him and you almost let out a giggle, but instead a squeal left your mouth quickly climbing up as you felt his presence behind you. Once up, you made a little run to the opposite side but he caught up, grabbing you from behind and you let out a scream.
His hand was fast on your mouth. “Shhh, why are you screaming?”
You wiggled, wanting to shake him off but his grip tightened and he turned you around swiftly before pressing his lips to yours fervently in hopes to shut you up. You squealed again against his mouth, trying to fight him until you couldn't fight anymore, completely melting in his arms as he kissed you senseless, opening your mouth and tasting you.
You hummed in satisfaction, eyes closed, bringing your arms around his neck to get a better taste because he was going strong on you. He was pushing you backwards until there was no more space, until he laid you gently in the stack of hay and hovered over you, pushing your legs apart with his knee so he could climb over you comfortably.
“Since when did you become an attention seeker?” he breathed down onto your mouth as both of you were gasping for air. “Constantly teasing me, going against me, and now fighting me, hm?” he asked in a low voice and he pressed his forehead to yours, demanding answers.
“And so the bad hunter caught the elephant,” you murmured and to answer him, you added: “Kids changed me.”
Baekhyun smirked, shaking his head gently before affection took over his gaze again. “Kids, kids, kids. Well, I want to know about you, sweetheart,” he murmured, slowly pecking your lips before moving his lips lower, kissing a trail down your jaw and neck. “Why is mummy this upset with daddy?”
“Oh god, here we go again,” you sighed at the words he used and closed your eyes when he bit down a tad too harshly, “but I think I'm starting to really like it. So don't stop.”
You felt him smile against your skin while his hand slipped under your sweater, caressing your belly before dragging it up, teasing the underside of your bra.
“Take it off,” you sighed. “Take me.”
Baekhyun grabbed your breast over the material, massaging it and you hissed in pain. He leaned back right away, monitoring your face. You smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, they are aching.”
“Ah, baby,” he smiled gently, and pressed his forehead to yours yet again. “I'm sorry you have to go through all of this.” He spoke, but his fingers still pushed down the material off of your breast so he could have access to the skin. You closed your eyes, the smallest of his touches giving you the utmost pleasure. Much gentler, he massaged your breast and nosed your cheek, earning another hum out of you. “I made you like this.”
“Yeah, you did,” you said and mouthed on his cheek that was turned to you. “And I love it. So don't you dare feel guilty, Baekhyun. We still have half of the way ahead.”
“Oh, sweet cheeks, the bad hunter is having very bad thoughts right now. Far, far from guilty,” he rasped as he nibbled on your earlobe. “Your boobs are huge, your belly is huge, your hips and thighs are rounded. I'm salivating over here exactly because I did this to you.”
“Oh my god.”
You don't recall Baekhyun ever talking to you in this manner and you didn't know it would turn you on this much. His hot breath on your skin, his touches, his mind. Jesus. You were a whimpering mess, wiggling your hips for him to get the damn clue to start doing his job.
He leaned back and sat on his knees before he massaged your thighs; first the outer side, then the inner side until he smoothened his hands over the button of your pants, opening it with his expert fingers. His eyes were attentive, checking your reaction but the blush on your cheeks and the blown out pupils told him more than enough.
Slowly pushing down your pants, he followed suit with his. He hovered over you once more while his hand found the sweet spot you needed him at the most, testing it. “Hmm, dirty talk can get you this wet. Baby girl,” he hummed in bliss, mouthing on your neck.
“You haven't got used to it yet?” you laughed quietly and gasped when he pushed two fingers in, letting out a moan.
Baekhyun wordlessly continued his ministrations and you brought him in for a feverish kiss, all tongues and saliva, the need for each other too strong to even care. When the pressure was building up steadily in your tummy, he retreated his fingers.
“Are you comfortable?” he whispered, lining himself up with your center as he grabbed your hand to intertwine your fingers.
“Yeah,” you breathed loudly, “just get in already.”
“We are really doing it in the stables, huh,” he said, chuckling and he entered you slowly, unable to resist any longer. The belly was by then quite the restriction between your bodies but Baekhyun did not mind doing extra work if it meant pleasuring the both of you.
You let out another moan shamelessly, not caring any of your parents could be outside in the quiet evening.
“Does this mean the babies can hear us doing this, too?” you whispered, meeting his focused gaze as he pulled out completely before slamming himself inside, his groan muffled as he hid his face in your neck.
“Fuck,” was what he said, shuddering with the adrenaline rush as he kept sliding in and out of you, none of you hiding how good it felt to finally be connected like this. Baekhyun adored this horny side of you, and he swore sex while you being pregnant was more exciting than ever before.
It was getting immensely hot despite it being a freezing winter outside, the hay keeping the warmth your two bodies created well. Baekhyun kissed you in the last seconds, feeling your walls tightening around him and he himself wasn't far from seeing stars from the overwhelming bliss of you around him and your face that was now shiny with sweat and heat.
“I love you,” you muttered with your eyes closed.
“Look at me, angel,” he gritted through his teeth, heartbeats away from crossing the edge. “Look at me and say it.”
With all your willpower you snapped out of your ecstacy and stared into his fucked out eyes that still gave you reassurance, safety. “I love you, Baekhyun. Too much.”
He managed to smile and heard you scream when you exploded around him. “I love you too, my baby. My only one,” he whispered while panting, and followed you soon.
Helping the both of you ride out the high, he moved around, not wanting to slip out of you just yet, but he had to. His arms were about to go completely numb as he tried to hold himself over your belly, and so hissing quietly at the sensation, he lied down next to you, his clothed chest rising up and down.
“Jesus Christ,” you muttered, collecting the sweat around your forehead with the back of your hand. “This was mind blowing.”
Baekhyun snickered, turning his head to look at you. “It was. You sounded gorgeous.”
Not bothering to get all embarrassed, you turned on your side and laid your head on his chest, his arm coming to circle around you. Although you were all sticky and wet, you felt like on cloud nine. “So the happenings of the trip - the elephant was caught by the bad hunter. And our babies can now hear us having sex.”
Your boyfriend laughed out loud and pressed a loud kiss to your hairline, as he caressed your shoulder. “That's about right. They might be too wild in the future.” He trailed off before suggesting: “So should we just have a round two then?”

Descent Pt. 2
Masterlist of other Chapters: Here Crossposted to Ao3: here
Part [1] Part [2] Part [3] Part 4: [4] Part [5] Part [6] Part [7] Part [8] Part [9] Part [10]
I’m so glad y’all are enjoying the food so far, please take some more of it. Let me know if you want to be added to a taglist or anything like that. For now, let’s enjoy our favorite angel doing ... not very angelic things (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Pairing: Simeon x Reader Wordcount: 5,000 ish Genre: Luxurious Smut Tags: Voyeurism, mutual masturbation Summary: With the first chapter behind him, there's still something missing in Simeon's writing, and he needs your help to figure out what it is.
Stumble
True to his word, Simeon had the draft he promised in your email inbox within a few days. You were surprised. He seemed to be struggling so much when you last saw him, you really expected him to take a little more time. Regardless, it was to your benefit since it meant you had more time to edit.
Even if it was just the first chapter and a little bit after, you were surprised at the speed in which he jumped to the lewd scenes. It wasn’t surprising considering sex was the focus, but you would need to teach him how to reign in his enthusiasm. By the time you were finished reading through the draft the first time, your whole face had gone hot. The explicit details he wrote out only brought your mind back to what you had acted out in that sunroom just a few days ago. It was a direct translation of your actions to text. Sure, Simeon was new to the genre, but his talent as a writer still shone through.
Despite the roughness of the draft, the publisher approved it as acceptable proof of progress. They greenlit the whole project and you were more than excited to email Simeon and let him know the good news. Just as you had come back from the meeting with the executives, your phone chirped with a new message.
[SMS: I AM STUCK. I CANNOT WRITE ANYMORE. HELP ME.]
You laughed at how short and crude the message was. For someone who spent most of his time on a computer writing; he was absolutely hopeless with any other form of technology. Shaking your head at how someone like him had gotten so far in life barely knowing how to send a text, you packed up your things and made your way to his place. You did have a few notes about his first chapter to give him, anyway.
Simeon hated being deceptive. He hated how quickly he had started to rely on that image of you in his brightly lit sunroom to fuel his writing and for his own desires. He was ashamed to ask you to come over again; but he was repeating the same motions in his writing, he needed new visuals and you were the only one he could trust. In reality, his request was a thinly veiled request to see you perform again. He was able to complete his work so quickly after watching you. Researching video clips and online articles gave him some fuel, but nothing got him so fired up as watching a scene unfold from you.
It was a strange obsession he was still wrapping his mind around. He had to be careful, the temptation you possessed was absolutely dangerous. Simeon had to reassure himself that he was ancient and knew his way around humans with how long he had studied them. He needed to convince himself that he would never sully a human body, no matter how much he wanted you. His title, status and reputation as an angel were the most sacred parts of him. With so many years of writing experience, surely he could write a proper sex scene without actually ever having to fuck you.
It didn’t stop him from being nervous. No matter how many fail safes he came up with, he knew that you were effortlessly enticing him to be joined with you. He had to be vigilant. It would be the ultimate test of his will and his determination. Both for his career and his soul. He would see it through, he knew he could. No material experience could be more important than his angelic status. Right?
He paced back and forth in the foyer of his home, gnawing on his nail while he waited for you to arrive. It had taken him half an hour to find the right words to text you. Simeon glanced at the phone in his hand almost every ten seconds, hoping you had replied. He knew you had a meeting, but it should be over by now and you should be arriving at any moment. You hadn’t answered him which made him antsy. Usually you would have at least told him you were coming over. He could only hope that you were just eager to see him as he was to see you again.
He didn’t want to admit how he had fallen asleep with his hands down his pants the past three days, dreaming about your sweet voice as you came and called out to him. He didn’t want to think about how many positions he had imagined you being in. Simeon didn’t want to dwell on how many scenarios he came up with just to have you reenact them for him. Some of the scenes delved so deep into his darkest desires that he was scared to even admit he thought about them.
But he wanted to see them play out.
The doorbell barely finished ringing and he was already flinging opening the door to let you in. “I’m guessing the meeting went well.” He said with a bright smile to hide his nerves. He was already set up in his sunroom. During the time you were gone, he had brought a small folding desk to the recliner. The cable for his computer had also been moved so he didn’t have to worry about the battery being drained. You instinctively went over to the couch lined up against the wall but he stopped you. Instead of letting you lounge like you did the last time, he offered you a chair across from his makeshift desk instead. He refused to make eye contact as you made yourself comfortable.
“The meeting went as well as it could,” you said while taking out the envelopes that contained his work. “They like everything so far, but it’s still rough and needs a little bit more refinement, and I have to agree with them.”
You glanced up at him and noticed him fidgeting with his fingers while he kept his face calm. “So, what needs to be fixed up?”
You flipped through a few pages and showed him the paragraphs of smut he had written. The color drained from his face as he was face-to-face with the obscenity of his work in physical form. “So, it’s not bad. But I can tell it was your first time. There’s something missing about the partner. I can’t place it, but it just feels… flat? Like I can’t tell if they’re feeling anything from the exchange or what.”
“Ah… Oh… Hahaha. I see… That explains a lot.”
You raised a curious eyebrow at his comment. “Does it?” You crossed your arms over your chest and leaned back in the chair. It seemed as though Simeon was just at the verge of another great discovery about his writing and you were rather intrigued about what his thoughts were.
“Yes. I was struggling to write this next scene and I just… couldn’t figure out how to convey the partner’s feelings. It’s frustrating. I should have all the resources that I need to make it work.” He gestured at what he had written and bade you to take a look.
It was always fun to see his work in progress. With the partially polished scenes and unfinished sentences, it was like you got to see the inner workings of his brain. What he had in front of you was a far cry from the more polished work you were used to, but the overall flow of action was much better than the travesty you had seen last time. However, you could see the exact point where he started to struggle. As he said, there was a lack of feeling behind the words.
“Ooh… So this is the part where you need my help again, huh?”
Simeon covered his face with his hand. “I’m ashamed to ask you to assist me with another scene.”
You smiled softly, reaching over and ruffling his hair. “Well, I’d be the world’s worst editor and manager if I refused to help you, right?”
“You don’t have to…”
“But I want to.” You reassured him, while getting up from your seat to start stripping. Truth be told, you were waiting for the next time you got to see him so hot and bothered while working. Something about how focused he was on writing and not what his body needed made you want to push him further, see just what it took to get him distracted. “But you know… I’m sure you’d get more out of it if you experienced it too. Sometimes, just watching isn’t enough.”
Simeon felt his heart drop to his stomach from your suggestion. You were putting into words all of his desires and what he had craved ever since the last time. If he didn't have his wits about him, he knew he would have taken you up on the offer. The temptation of knowing how it felt to be in you while you moaned had piqued his curiosity and he longed to experience it. “I… Uh,” he stuttered, trying to wrap his mind around how to reply.
You dragged your finger up his thigh, pausing right at his crotch and waited for his reaction. He was so cute with his eyes wide, lips slightly parted and his brain short circuiting from your advances. You wanted to devour him and see him crumble under your fingers. “You what?” You encouraged, moving the focus from his crotch upwards, your finger skirting the soft sweater he wore and up to his chin. You tilted his head upwards to meet you eye to eye. “You want to write the best novel… don’t you?”
“I do…” He breathed, unable to take his eyes away from you and his mind struggled to keep up with how quickly you had taken control of the situation. He needed to wrestle some semblance of calm back in his favor if he wanted to continue getting what he wanted without you suspecting his obsession. “In order for me to do that, I need you to show me how…” He trailed off, cheeks flushed warm from thinking about his lewd request.
“How what? Come on now, you asked me to fuck a pillow last time, how is this going to be any worse than that?” you teased. Much to your delight, he became more flustered, his gaze dropping to the floor and he mumbled to himself. You let him get over his shyness, waiting patiently with his chin balanced at the tip of your finger.
Please uhm… Please show me how you please yourself… for this next scene.” He managed to save himself from falling completely into your trap, specifying exactly what he needed you to do. You were so alluring and so close to him, he had almost asked for the unforgivable.
You smiled, letting go of his chin and stepping back. “It’d be so much easier if I had some toys to do that… but I guess I’ll show you since you asked so nicely.” You planted a kiss on his forehead before undoing the buttons of your blouse.
“T-toys?” Simeon squeaked. He had seen them in video clips and read about them in reviews when he researched; but it never occurred to him that you might want to use them.
“It’s okay if you don’t have any. I can always settle with this…” You teased, walking over to him and fondling his crotch. “In fact, I would prefer this over anything else.”
You were close enough to see his pupils dilate and notice how his breath hitched as you touched him. He pulled away from you, hiding behind his screen and pretended to be busy with opening a new document. “I… I need to write.”
“But that’s the problem…” you whined, pouting that he pulled away but you didn’t press the issue any further. Watching him squirm was so satisfying; and you hadn’t even done anything yet. “You were writing the last time and you had the same problem, so stop writing this time and get into it.” You suggested.
“I can’t.” he shook his head vehemently. “I can’t do it. No.”
You sighed, putting your hands on your hips and looked at him. You never pegged him to be the kind of guy who waited until marriage to be intimate, but it seemed like he was alluding to the fact that he was saving himself. If he wasn’t, he was at least being very reserved for the type of content he was writing. “Fine, we don’t have to do it,” you conceded before going back to stripping yourself bare. “But feel free to help yourself to whatever you need for inspiration.” You winked, looking down at his crotch and he hastily crossed his legs when your gaze lingered.
He was so cute. You couldn’t tell if he knew exactly what he was doing. It was hard to expect someone so beautiful and of his age to not get intimate when the chance arose. Part of you wondered if it was because you weren’t desirable to him outside of your little acts. Dwelling on that thought made your chest hurt in bitterness and you shoved that to the side to focus on helping him instead.
You flopped back down on the chair, spreading your legs and resting them on the arms of the chair so that Simeon had a clear view of what you were about to do to yourself. Having him watch everything you did so close to you aroused much faster than you expected. “Well, time to get to work.” you said nonchalantly.
You closed your eyes, imagining Simeon joining you in getting nude. You imagined what it would be like for him to reveal his skin a little at a time in a playful strip tease. He always wore such bulky and cozy looking sweaters, it made you wonder just what kind of body he was hiding underneath all the layers. You started at your breasts again, squeezing them together and playing with them to aid in the fantasy.
In front of you, Simeon was typing up a storm. In your mind, it was his hands at your breasts, playing with your nipples until they were perky. You thought about him latching his soft lips around your nipple, licking at the sensitive skin there until you squirmed and moaned his name. You were careful this time to make sure you didn’t accidentally call for him when you really got into it. You weren’t in a rush to experience that embarrassment a second time.
He could see your folds progressively get wetter as you touched yourself and wrapped yourself in a fantasy he had no access to. Recalling the last time, Simeon wondered if he was occupying your mind again. This time, he was much more aware of his body’s reactions to the scene in front of him. There was no way he could ignore the pressure growing in his pants. No matter how much he focused on the document in front of him, he could feel his desires bubbling and threatening to spill over.
It was different this time. You were sprawled out in front of him, moaning softly and panting. Your head rested on the back of the chair. With your eyes closed and your mouth open slightly in an “O” you looked absolutely angelic. He wanted to join you, his fingers stopped typing and he was once again frozen, watching the performance in front of him.
You noticed he stopped typing much sooner than the last time and smirked a bit, cracking open your eyes to see his precious face staring at you in wonder. “Like what you see?” You asked coyly, sliding one hand down from your breast to your pussy. You spread yourself wide so he could see exactly just how wet you were.
Simeon only nodded, entranced with the way your folds glistened and he could smell your arousal from where he sat. He licked his lips holding onto his fraying desires as best as he could. Control yourself. You can do this. “Y-yes…” His voice came out thickly, as if his vocal chords refused to work properly.
You giggled, loving how riled up you were getting him and slowly rubbed your slick slit with your fingers. You moaned, the pleasure your fingers gave you was much better than riding a pillow. With just a quick glance, you noticed he had uncrossed his legs and was sporting a rather impressive tent in his pants. “Well, I’m glad that you’re not bored.” you teased much to his dismay.
His hands flew to his crotch, covering himself and he tried to will his boner back down to no avail. You giggled again, pulling his attention away from his arousal. “It’s okay, I would have been disappointed if you didn’t get turned on by what you’re seeing.”
“I uhm…”
“It’s okay.” You reassured him again. “Feel free to join in however you want. It only makes it all the more fun.”
Simeon gulped, torn between work and pleasure. He put himself in this predicament, he needed to figure a way out of it. He needed relief and he needed to write. The two sides of him warred as he scrambled with his fizzling brain to figure out something. An epiphany dawned on him when he heard his phone go off.
“Spam?” you asked when he fumbled with the incoming call, trying to silence the ringtone. “Or were you expecting someone?”
“Ah.. uhm… spam. I think.” He confirmed once he managed to figure out to disregard the call without picking it up. The next thing he needed to figure out was how to get the camera working and recording. You wanted to help him, but with one hand covered in fluids, you weren’t sure if he wanted you touching his phone.
Eventually with a little vocal coaching on your end and a lot of fumbling on his side, he got it to work and propped the phone up to start recording what you were doing. If he was going to get relief now, he needed to at least have proper reference to go back to later.
“Wow… you are so much kinkier than I thought.” You joked, causing Simeon to cover his face in shame, but he didn’t try to argue. There was something about having everything recorded for later that only added to the sexual tension in the room.
“It’s for research…” He mumbled more to convince himself than to explain to you what he was doing.
“Right… research.”
He moved his hands to mirror your own. One at his crotch and the other at his chest. It was difficult to hide your disappointment when you saw he wasn’t about to expose himself. His hand slipped under his clothes to touch and tease at his skin. You could see the barest hint of his abs peeking out from underneath the oversized sweater and you practically drooled at just the little bit of skin he showed off. You couldn’t help a small pout, frustrated at how unfair it was that you were putting in so much work for him and he could just so cutely masturbate alongside you.
The frustration disappeared the moment you saw his eyelids flutter clothes and he let out a soft moan. It was the most beautiful sound in the world and it was infinitely better than anything you could have imagined. His blue eyes lidded with pleasure were only opened to a sliver as he urged you to continue what you were doing.
With the camera rolling and the very vision of sin in front of you, you were more than eager to get back to getting off. Your finger found your clit and you rubbed it in the way that always made you see stars. “Hmmm, oh yeah…” You groaned, flicking your finger side to side before circling the little bundle of nerves. You were undoubtedly going to ruin his furniture again, but you didn’t care.
Simeon watched the way your fingers moved and he mimicked everything you did. His hand under his shirt pinched and rolled his nipple between his fingers. The sensation made him hiss from the initial pain but that was quickly replaced by pleasure which sent jolts of bliss straight to his aching cock. He bit his lip, repeating the motion, drowning himself in the sensation over and over again.
The scent of your essence was thick in the air. It felt like you were surrounding him with every breath he took. You were invading his every thought and infecting everything he thought was pure. But the freedom you gave him and the gratification that came with it was intoxicating. He couldn’t get enough of your breathy moans and the wet sounds of your fingers toying with yourself.
His own hand in his pants pumped his cock in time with the motion of your fingers. At one point you had done the most lascivious thing and slipped a finger inside of you. His eyes widened as the digit disappeared and reappeared covered in your slick. His cock twitched in his hand in jealousy. He wanted to be buried in there, he wanted to feel your heat surround him. But all he had was his hand to satisfy him.
Simeon was heavily panting now, working up to a frantic pace in his pants as his hand stroked his length. It was cramped and uncomfortable; but he couldn’t bear to expose himself to you. Surely that would be too much for you to see; and he wasn’t sure if he could control himself if he stripped alongside you.
“Mmm, I’m getting close.” you groaned, rolling your hips to meet your fingers and you teased your clit further, feeling your body tense in preparation for your climax. “What about you?”
“I… Uh.. I’m…” Simeon, stuttered, not able to process how close he was. It was so different from all the times he relieved himself alone. He just had to keep going until he was done. But with you in front of him, he wanted to do it together with you. Seeing your soaked pussy right in front of him made him more excited than he ever had been. “I think I’m close…”
You laughed at his naivety. “You think?” You teased. Perhaps you needed to up the ante a bit. “Come on… come with me.” You beckoned and pressed two fingers into your tight hole.
He blinked rapidly, trying to comprehend what his hormones were doing. Seeing your fingers being engulfed by your pussy, sliding in and out slowly while you moaned right next to him was pressing all the right buttons in him. He could see you stretch to accommodate your fingers and he was entranced by that. Without warning, he gasped, his grip on his cock tightened as he came. “Oh … I’m… I’m sorry…” He panted. “You just… that was… Uhm..”
“Too hot for you to handle?” You asked, now working yourself faster. The face he made when he came all of a sudden was so hot. You would definitely think back on it during lonely nights. Simeon’s breathy moans, the way his skin glowed with a thin sheen of sweat from exertion. It all added up to be a breathtaking image.
“I...Yeah…” You could see the faintest hint of red on his cheeks and smirked, satisfied that he was enjoyed himself just as much as you were loving every moment you were in front of him.
“Good… I guess it’s my turn then.” You said and went right into the motions of getting yourself to climax. Locking the image of Simeon’s “O” face in your mind, you finger fucked yourself closer and closer to completion.
You could feel your inner walls tighten and you were just at the edge of no return when you felt Simeon’s firm hand pull your fingers away. Whining loudly and glaring at him, you were about to berate him for ruining your good time until your entrance was filled with his own slender fingers. “Let me help you…” He said, his bright blue eyes were lit with a determination you hadn’t seen before and the fire behind them was such a turn on.
For someone who had just been so bashful about being intimate with you at the beginning, Simeon sure was being bold now. You didn’t say anything, not like you really could. Your capacity to form coherent words disappeared when his slender fingers entered you and mimicked the motions you had shown him. He was a fast learner, able to have you shivering with little to no effort. It was hard to believe just how he had a sudden switch in personality, but it was beside you to figure it out now.
You were free to call his name. After all, he was the one touching you now. “Oh… Simeon.” you moaned, panting and once again ramping towards your climax. This time, he was in control of the pace and the intensity of what got you off. He curled his fingers in you and you cried out loud when he brushed past a sensitive spot in you. He was so gentle and so precise, it was mind blowing what he picked up just from watching you.
“You’re close… right?” He asked sweetly. You looked at him and the intensity in his eyes was only made more obvious against his dark skin. The tone of his voice was in direct contrast to the laser focus his gaze had on your most intimate parts. Just the dichotomy of that alone inched you dangerously close to your climax.
Then, his thumb pressed against your clit and your world exploded. It was just the last bit of stimulation you needed to go over the edge. You clutched onto the arms of the chair while you rode out the high on his fingers. A mixture of curses and his name fell from your lips as you breathlessly tried to ground yourself. Your inner walls clenched around his digits and Simeon continued to slowly slide them in and out of you, marveling at the sensation of your pussy milking his fingers.
You kept seeing stars at the edge of your vision with every extra pass he took. You wanted to tell him to stop, but he was too engrossed in his ‘research’ to really pay any of your protests any mind. Eventually, he pulled his fingers out of you and you sighed in both relief and disappointment.
Simeon looked at his glistening fingers, holding them to the light and observed the slick essence that coated them. It was almost a little embarrassing to watch him be so intrigued by your fluids that you needed to distract yourself by getting dressed again so you didn’t have to look at him. While you had your back turned, Simeon experimentally licked his coated fingers and by the time you were fully clothed, he had fully cleaned them off. He looked at you and licked his lips. “Research.” He said nonchalantly with a shrug.
“Right… research.” you said, already getting hot and bothered again at what you had just witnessed. This man will be the end of me. “Do you think you’ve gotten all you need for your next scene?”
“Hmm….” He nodded sagely, remembering to stop recording. “I’ll have to review everything, but I think I know where to go from here.”
You smiled good naturedly and pat his head gently. “Don’t overwork yourself.” you said gathering your things. Once again, it had gotten late and you had to regretfully leave to ensure you caught the last trains home. “Call me or text me if you need help again, okay?”
“Oh, of course. I plan on it.” He smiled at you and your heart melted a little, but there was a devilish nature to that smile that had never been there before. “I’ll finish the next chapter probably in a week and send it to you.”
“I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I’m sure it’ll be great, as usual.” You grinned, feeling giddy after such a great climax as well as knowing that Simeon was able to continue working. It would definitely be good news to report back to the publishing house and keep them off his back as he worked in peace.
He let out a soft laugh, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. It was a shame that he was already back to his usual innocent self. You wouldn’t have minded seeing more of that sex god who showed himself a few moments before. “Well, I’ll do my best to not disappoint. I have a lot to learn.”
“I’ll be sure to help you in any way I can.” You said. Looking down at your phone, you gasped noticing the time. “Shit. I gotta run if I don’t wanna walk all the way home tonight. Text me if you need anything!” You yelled, halfway across his home and stumbling to get your shoes back on.
When the door slammed shut, the silence that surrounded Simeon was deafening. He had been able to hold out on taking you, but it didn’t mean he hadn’t gotten a taste of what it was like to sin. The uncomfortable dampness of his cum clung to his leg, but he barely noticed it. Instead, he was focused on the file on his phone. The recording of what transpired that afternoon.
Taking a shaky breath, he resisted the urge to press play. The scent of your arousal and the taste of your essence were still too fresh in his mind. He needed to clean up. He needed to work. He needed to research and plan for you. He sighed and started to make his way to the shower. If he needed relief, then at least he could take care of it there and not in the mess that was his soiled pants.
As the sun sank past the horizon and gave way to night, the light within his soul waned and the darkness he had pushed aside grew. After a taste of sin, it was only natural that he would crave more until it consumed him.
And it felt heavenly.

(yoonseok) - trust my heart when it beats for you
ao3: (x)
Summary: Jung Hoseok has had an awkward Thing for Min Yoongi for four years of his school life. He is certain that the only thing that gets in the way of them and everlasting love is the fact that Min Yoongi doesn't know he exists, but that all changes due to one drunken text message: a pick-up line. Ready to flee to another country under a false identity in mortification, he finds himself ruining their blossoming friendship and confessing when Yoongi asks why Hoseok had tried to flirt with him. However, things take a turn after his confession when Yoongi starts to (awkwardly) flirt back.
Pairings: Yoonseok, Taekook and Namjin
Chapters: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21), (22)
Chapter Twenty-Three - did you shudder when i touched you? was it imagined?
After Tuesday night it was more gruelling than ever to keep his hands off of Yoongi. To hear Yoongi trying to muffle his moans as he pleasured himself while Hoseok talked aloud, describing Yoongi as if he were there, touching Yoongi, whispering in his ear and feeling Yoongi arch against him as he climaxed was a whole new experience that he wanted to treasure. He drifted around in a daze for a solid hour after Yoongi was called down for dinner.
He felt like he was a pre-pubescent teenager again who had just discovered what his dick was and how it functioned, practically obsessed with finding ways to get himself off. A few years later he had looked back on his twelve year old self with disgust. He felt he had been like an uncontrollable animal and he didn’t know how he had brought himself to look in his mum’s loving eyes after using the family computer to look up heterosexual porn, and wondering why all of the comments were about how the woman reacted and why no one was watching the man like he had been.
Either Yoongi knew how much torment he was putting Hoseok through, or he was blissfully unaware. On Wednesday break time, Taehyung bid his goodbyes and the two broke apart. Hoseok found Yoongi in the courts with Namjoon, Jeongguk and a few of his friends scattered here and there. Yoongi was scrutinising the way that he aimed for the hoop, the way that he jumped for it, and he was vividly aware that Yoongi was watching him, that was the only thing that caused him to miss miserably and risked almost decapitating one of the Year Nine’s. Yoongi insisted on giving him advice, which involved helping Hoseok on his posture and his footwork, even how he gripped the ball.
Hoseok could barely breathe with Yoongi’s hands on his hips, his fingers scathing Hoseok’s when he passed him the ball, and then the concentrated look on Yoongi’s features when he ran his fingers through Hoseok’s hair in order to tie it up in a ridiculous ponytail. He was certain that he was either going to pass out from the effort it took to restrain himself or devour Yoongi where he stood when Yoongi finished tying his hair up, but stayed gazing up into Hoseok’s eyes with the softest and warmest smile on his face and his fingers still locked in Hoseok’s hair. It was revolting how quickly his self-control had diminished, and it was terrifying that Namjoon seemed to know this, giving Hoseok a knowing smirk when Yoongi next turned his back.
All he could think about was Yoongi. There was never a time where his head was empty of thought, it was stuffed to the brim with recollections of Yoongi’s smile, Yoongi’s resting tired face, Yoongi’s voice and the way it dropped into a bass when he spoke Hoseok’s name, Yoongi’s fingers and how they practically melded into his every time they held hands, Yoongi’s mouth and the way his lips parted eagerly when accepting Hoseok’s kiss, Yoongi’s scent and how he hadn’t washed his spare uniform ever since Yoongi had worn it, the way that Yoongi watched him when he thought that Hoseok wouldn’t notice, the way Yoongi laughed and how happy he looked with his eyes crinkled and mouth wide in a gleeful smile, Yoongi, Yoongi, Yoongi.
He couldn’t bring himself to focus on anything. School work was insanely stultifying, it drained his life when he laid eyes on a maths question or had to work out the grammar of an English sentence. Hoseok was sure that it was unhealthy to be this obsessed with someone, especially someone who was able to keep themselves in check and not give any sign that they were actively lusting over Hoseok at all. Sometimes Hoseok wished that Yoongi would, just so he would feel a little less alone, but then he realised that it would inevitably only make Yoongi more irresistible and would surely lead to them being found in a compromising position in the janitor’s closet.
Hoseok had been more than somewhat shocked when Yoongi had been the one to propose that Hoseok visit on Saturday, he had also been mind-dizzyingly relieved. Perhaps Yoongi wanted him just as much as he wanted Yoongi, and to hear – or read – that he had the ability to turn Yoongi on had made him unable to sleep, a broad grin taking up most of his face whilst fantasies, maybe more plausible now than they had been before, raced through his mind.
He couldn’t stop thinking about Saturday either, couldn’t stop fathoming as to what they would get up to in a house without parents, hopefully Yoongi’s brother would be out, and alone together in Yoongi’s bedroom. He had a pretty good idea about what was going to happen, what he was going to do, and how Yoongi would react to it. But then the plans for Friday would flash across his mind, crashing his thought process as he remembered Jimin and naturally linked Jimin with Jinsoo. What exactly had Jinsoo done to Yoongi (to rather than with; Yoongi wasn’t a willing participant)? Yoongi had confessed that he believed that Jinsoo, if he had had the chance, might have raped him – this alone filled Hoseok with the sense of guilt and raw anger – so what exactly had Jinsoo enforced upon Yoongi? He was too afraid to ask, fearful to hear the answer and fearful that Yoongi would wonder why Hoseok kept thinking about it.
Hoseok considered if Yoongi ever thought about what Jinsoo had done to him. He wondered whether Yoongi was scared, scared of intimacy and scared of touch. It made him feel awful, him and his lecherous mind filled with scummy thoughts about Yoongi, what made him different from Jinsoo? Perhaps not as much as he had originally thought.
This disturbed him to every extent, and this epiphany effectively muted his desperate yearning. Yoongi was too radiant for Hoseok’s hands to touch his skin, to blister it and burn it with his licentious desires. He couldn’t do it, he couldn’t do it to Yoongi.
Friday was a blessing and curse when it rolled around. It gave him something to focus on, to roll around in his brain, mulling over everything that Taehyung had confided in him, wondering what else Taehyung hadn’t told him and why Jimin had been not only avoiding Yoongi, but him, Namjoon and Jeongguk.
However, he was going to be faced with Jimin, stupid, smug-faced Jimin who would no doubtedly tease Yoongi about Jinsoo like it was no big deal. Hoseok didn’t think he would be able to constrain himself if such a situation ever played out, he would just have to remember to punch with the side of his fist rather than with his knuckles. In a way, he found himself getting het up about the idea of punching Jimin, as if it took away the damage done that Jimin had brought about, it was a replacement outlet for the restless energy that he had allowed to build up inside of him.
“What are you thinking about?” It was Friday last lesson, the two were supposed to be working on their History project but Hoseok was too distracted by not allowing himself to focus on Yoongi whilst Yoongi was too busy sparing glances at him. Yoongi had asked him in a mono-tone, as if he couldn’t care less, yet, Hoseok knew that Yoongi was extremely curious.
“Tonight.” He answered truthfully enough. Hoseok sat up from where he was bent over, his arms folded on the table. “What have you done this lesson?” It was increasingly taxing to feign ignorance when he knew that Yoongi was watching him, internally asking for Hoseok to look at him.
“I’ve edited some paragraphs,” Yoongi replied, his voice casual but his concern imminent. “We’re really not trying, are we?”
Hoseok snorted and then tried to hold back from doubling over in pain when he glimpsed Yoongi smiling at his reaction.
“Are you worried about it?” It was safe to look at Yoongi, he was focussed on the laptop screen. “You can tell me, you know.” Hoseok felt like the worst person to ever walk the earth, Yoongi would never step reaching out for him, to try and comfort him, but here he was being un-talkative and broody. He wanted to apologise for his behaviour but he couldn’t bring himself to, it wasn’t the right setting to talk about Jinsoo and what happened that night, there were too many people flitting about, ears were everywhere.
“There’s not much to say,” Hoseok lied, leaning back on the couch and folding his arms, staring hard at the notes on the table in front of him. “I’m just... I don’t know why we’re going to Tae’s house, Tae hasn’t said anything about it.”
Yoongi was back to watching him warily, his eyes scanning Hoseok’s face. He had to strike and kill his natural instinct to ensure he wouldn’t end up looking into Yoongi’s eyes. Underneath the shield of his arms, his hands had tightened into fists with nails digging into his skin, his self-restraint was so close to snapping; he had to keep replaying the mantra of ‘you’re just like Jinsoo’ to certify that he wouldn’t give into the unchaste horrors of his mind.
“I haven’t been to Jimin’s house in ages,” Yoongi mused. “Maybe Taehyung’s house was more convenient to meet at.”
“Maybe,” Hoseok hummed, but didn’t really agree. It didn’t sound like Yoongi was convinced with his own words either. They were both as equally clueless as each other, so it was all they could really do but to wait until the bell rang, exchange glances – to which Hoseok hurriedly looked away from – and walk together to the bus stop in an unanimous silence.
Taehyung was already there but he was standing alone, no Jimin at his side. It was so unlike Hoseok to be unsure whether to approach one of his best friends, but with no other option he followed Taehyung’s suit and climbed onto the bus. Without looking, he grabbed Yoongi’s wrist, as he was dithering uncertainly by the bus stop, and hauled him onto the bus. Without asking, he paid for Yoongi’s ticket and then walked down the aisle, gesturing for Yoongi to settle into the pair of seats next to Taehyung. He took the seat next to Yoongi, and despite all his efforts, his fingers curled around Yoongi’s hand. It was like he had inhaled for the first time that day when Yoongi reciprocated Hoseok’s action, squeezing Hoseok’s hand before releasing the pressure as if to assure Hoseok that he was still there. Hoseok hadn’t realised how deprived he had been until he had contact with Yoongi, it were as if he had been breathing in water up until this moment.
Taehyung shot him a concerned glance, silently asking why Hoseok hadn’t chosen to sit next to him. Something about that action irked Hoseok, and he realised that he was vaguely mad at Taehyung as well. Taehyung had told him the minimal about what was going on, and most of it didn’t really have to do with Jimin, mostly Jeongguk, and Hoseok felt like he hadn’t truly talked to Taehyung in over a week. Why would he chose to sit with someone who was distancing themselves over his boyfriend?
His boyfriend. It was still sinking in. Yoongi was his, nobody else’s. Yet, he couldn’t have Yoongi, he didn’t have the right. It was Jinsoo’s fault. Jinsoo. Jimin. Jimin was his friend, why did he have the desire to punch him? To hurt him, to pay him back for all the times he left Hoseok drunk and alone in a club to go and have a fist-fight, to take revenge on all the times that Jimin promised to pay him back only to blow his parent’s money on alcohol and arcade games. He wanted to inflict pain on Jimin, for always souring what could have been happy memories of his youth, for enforcing Jinsoo onto Yoongi, for causing Yoongi - his Yoongi - fear.
It was all mixing together in his head, colliding and churning into a revolting mixture of reasons and questions both interchanging. So much had happened in such a short amount of time, it was impossible to keep track of everything. He hadn’t had time to process anything, to recognise the amount of pain he was in. The bus lurched forwards unsteadily and his stomach flipped, it was all going to come out, the words, the confusion, the suffering-
“Are you okay?”
A voice. A voice that rose above all the noise on the bus and inside of his head. A voice that was calm, soothing, and gentle. A voice that Hoseok latched onto. A voice that came from the right of him. He turned his head, Yoongi. It was Yoongi’s.
Yoongi’s eyes surveyed his face, his eyebrows creasing when he seemed to find something he didn’t like. “You look ill. Are you okay?”
He realised that their hands were still entwined. “Yeah,” it ripped out of his throat. The storm inside of his head had quietened for now. He managed a smile, even though he was certain that it was wavering. “I’m okay. When I’m with you, everything’s fine. More than fine. Better.”
Hoseok hadn’t visited Taehyung’s house in over three weeks. This fact registered with him and it felt wrong, immoral somehow. Although he was still slightly angry with Taehyung, he missed him.
Taehyung unlocked the front door, his fingers were shaking somewhat and fumbling with the keys. Hoseok didn’t comment. It was pathetic of him, but he didn’t feel like he was in the right mood to be giving comforting support. When they walked inside, Hoseok was instantly targeted by Taehyung’s mum who asked where he had been, that the house had felt empty without him. He didn’t know what to say and silently thanked Taehyung when his excuse was provided for him. “Hoseok’s just been busy, mum. We all have. If you want him as your son, you might as well say so.”
His mum tutted at him, and chucked him under the chin. She welcomed Yoongi into the house, calling him a ‘handsome young man’, and then proceeded to ask what time Jimin was expected to get here. Taehyung replied with a vague, “soon.”
They were offered snacks and drinks to which they all politely shot down; there was no way that Hoseok could risk putting anything into his stomach when it was wailing and rolling around. Taehyung excused them and gestured that they should follow him upstairs after taking off their shoes and coats.
Taehyung’s room was the same as Hoseok had last seen it, which was the Sunday after he had messaged Yoongi properly for the first time. It felt like years ago now. However, there was several new things added to it; a plastic bag that enshrouded a ball, a football to be precise, it was ridiculously filthy. There was a pile of clothes on Taehyung’s chair, most of which Hoseok didn’t recognise. He didn’t understand it, maybe Taehyung purchased new clothes and a ball, but why would the ball be so dirty if it were new?
“You can both sit wherever, I’ll just move all of this,” Taehyung pointed vaguely to the pile of clothes. He attempted to lift them and a few garments slid to the floor. Taehyung looked at them dejectedly like they were the remains of a dog he had just crushed beneath his foot. Hoseok laughed. Intentionally it was supposed to sound spiteful, however, it came out naturally as he watched Taehyung’s familiar antics.
Taehyung looked up at him, a hopeful smile sliding across his face. Hoseok sighed inaudibly, the feeling of irritation slowly ebbing away, and he bent down to help retrieve the fallen clothing.
“Thanks,” Taehyung said, shoving his handful in a drawer. He reached out to take Hoseok’s but Hoseok couldn’t rip his eyes away from the fabric. These weren’t Taehyung’s clothes. They were Jimin’s.
He forced them into Taehyung’s hands, unable to stand touching them any longer. He turned away from Taehyung and stood in the corner of the room, beside the window. Yoongi, who was perched on the end of the bed, had watched his reaction and was now regarding him with an intense stare. Hoseok couldn’t meet Yoongi’s eyes, he felt the world spin, and his palms grew sweaty as he had balled them into fists. What was Taehyung doing with Jimin’s clothes? Was all that Taehyung confessed to him a lie?
Hoseok didn’t have time to steady himself to ask the question, nor did he have time to act on his sudden thought of how Yoongi must be feeling. There were footsteps on the landing, Taehyung threw them both a nervous glance after looking at his phone and moved towards the door. There was the sound of a knock against wood. Taehyung opened the door. Jimin.

Conversation
almost normal.
1/29/18
you might be wondering, what actually did happen so that i am friends with tony again? well, that is an excellent question with a very sad answer.
monday, december 4th, 2017. what seemed like a completely normal day turned into a day that i, along with many others, will never forget. i went to school just like a normal day. i noticed that tony wasn’t in english, in his usual seat. it’s not like i cared or anything; we don’t talk. the class started on time at 7 39. ms. szwaja had just begun to explain the project that was due in a couple weeks when the principal rushed in with a paper in his hand. he seemed like he was nervous.
“is tony here?” he asked hurriedly.
“no,” replied ms. szwaja, confused. she made eye contact with one of his friends, tom. he just shrugged, also confused. i was a little concerned; usually when people get called out of class, it’s a dean who talks to them about a punishment for something bad they’ve done recently. most of the time, a page brings in a pass from attendance, guidance, etc. but why was the principal calling tony out?
i didn’t think too hard about it for too long; i really needed to focus on getting as far ahead as possible for this college project. besides, i had a spanish test the next period.
but about an hour later, i get a text from my friend, who goes to a different school in our area.
“did you hear about what happened to hannah, tony’s sister?”
“no, what happened?”
“apparently she passed away.”
this had to be some kind of joke, i thought. tony’s sister, hannah? dead? i suddenly remembered what had happened in english.
“no way” i told him.
“yeah, we just had a moment of silence for her.”
my eyes welled up with tears. this isn’t possible.
i ran to ruby’s locker.
“john just told me hannah, tony’s sister, died”
i told her about what had happened in english, and i showed her the conversation between us. as she got further in the conversation, he mouth widened and her eyes welled up.
“this can’t be happening.”
for the rest of chemistry, the one class we had together, we just cried. to this day i still don’t know what we talked about because i couldn’t concentrate.
after chemistry, i went to lunch with kara. again, i told her what had happened. her reaction was the same as ruby’s. the next two periods we had together, neither of us could focus on doing homework or playing in band. we couldn’t stop thinking about hannah. i could not stop crying that day, or the next day, or the next. that night, or the early morning after, tony posted a stream of pictures of his sister with the caption…
“Rest In Peace big sis . Love you lots. If you were here right now I’d tell you that even though we’ve had our differences and we’ve shared our ups and our downs , I’d tell you that I love you. I already miss you , but it gives me peace knowing you’re in a better place right now and I know you’re watching over me . Save a spot for me up there . You truly have made me and everybody around you a better person and always put a smile on our faces , and I thank you for that and all that you’ve done. Everything I do is gon be for you , I love you big sis .”
december 5th, 2017. that day, i found out how she died. she committed suicide. after hannah’s death, even considering suicide is way out of the option now. looking back at the posts ive made within this past year, i am ashamed. i am truly embarrassed of these “problems”, situations i over exaggerated to make myself feel worse.
that same day, i decided to dm him, after about 10 months of not talking… “hey tony… i just wanted to say that im thinking of you and your family & im praying so much for you. please let me know if you need anything, im here for you, i always have been and i always will be here.” he responded with “thank you so much sarah. i don’t even know how to thank you after how i’ve treated you this past year. thank you so much.”
tuesday, december 12th. the day tony came back to school. i gave him a huge hug when i saw him waiting in the hall before english. he looked drained in every way possible. he didn’t even look all that sad, just completely exhausted.
“im sorry. im so so sorry.”
i mainly apologizing for his loss, but also for how i was a terrible friend earlier that year. i didn’t have to say it outloud, he just knew.
since then, we’ve been talking more, and we’re friends again. he even said happy birthday that thursday. ive snapchatted and dmed him paragraphs several times, all of which he responded to. i’ve given him & his family ornaments for christmas. i baked him cookies one day with a handwritten note apologizing. i couldn’t make it to the wake or the funeral; i was sick. but i was able to go to a fundraiser for her. both of us were able to go to a grade school reunion over break, and we talked a lot there. we even started a game of 8 ball pool on imessage.
ever since, things are almost normal. but he even said that things aren’t ever going to be normal again; we’ve both changed. but if the person i was back in february and march could see where i am now, i don’t think they’d believe it. i am so happy we’re friends again, but i wish there was a different reason of why.
rip hkr. we miss you.
