What Is the Most Accurate Building Cost Estimator?
Introduction
âIâm planning to build a home â but how do I even begin to estimate the cost?â
Whether you're a homeowner preparing for your dream build or a builder quoting projects regularly, estimating construction costs is one of the most important decisions youâll make.
A good estimate gives you:
Budget clarity
Tender confidence
Control over financial risk
And peace of mind
In this guide, weâll walk you through how to estimate building construction costs in Australia â the professional way â and show you how to avoid common pricing mistakes that lead to budget blowouts.
Step-by-Step: How to Estimate Construction Costs
1. Review Your Plans and Project Scope
It all starts with your architectural drawings and project brief.
You need to know:
The number of floors
Types of materials and finishes
Special features (basements, custom cabinetry, solar, etc.)
Site conditions (sloped block? access issues?)
Tip: The more detailed your plans, the more accurate your estimate.
2. Perform a Quantity Takeoff
A takeoff involves measuring the quantities of all materials and labour required. For example:
Cubic meters of concrete
Square meters of tiling
Lineal meters of cornice
Number of power points
Tools we use: PlanSwift, Cubit, Bluebeam Revu These tools make it fast, precise, and export-ready.
3. Apply Local Material & Labour Rates
This is where accuracy matters most. Use:
Local supplier prices (Bunnings, Reece, CSR)
Labour benchmarks for your city or region
Equipment hire and logistics (cranes, scaffolding, skips)
Example: Bricklaying costs in Melbourne are not the same as in regional WA.
4. Add Overheads, Contingency, and Builderâs Margin
Even the best projects come with surprises.
Include:
Supervision and admin costs
Permits and insurance
5â10% contingency
10â20% builderâs margin
Failing to include these = profit loss or client disputes later.
5. Deliver a Professional BOQ or Estimate Report
Wrap everything into a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) or a detailed cost breakdown.
Your final estimate should include:
Materials and labour
Subcontractor pricing
Trade-by-trade cost structure
Notes for variations
At AS Estimation & Consultants, our BOQs are:
Tender-ready
Bank/loan-ready
Format-compatible for builders, architects, and developers
Real Example
Project: Single-storey home in Brisbane Size: 200mÂČ | Build Type: Brick veneer Estimation Process Output:
$2,300/mÂČ Ă 200 = $460,000
5% contingency = $483,000
15% margin = $555,450
Online calculator showed $410,000 â missing site costs and labour uplift.
FAQs
1. Can I estimate my own building costs?
Yes â but only to a rough extent. A professional estimator provides accuracy, risk coverage, and compliance.
2. What is a takeoff?
Itâs a detailed measurement of all required construction quantities â from concrete to tiles.
3. How accurate is a BOQ?
With professional software and real pricing, our BOQs are within 3â5% of actual build cost.
4. What if I donât have full plans yet?
We can provide preliminary estimates based on concept drawings and assumptions â great for feasibility studies.
5. Can I use your estimate for my bank or tender?
Absolutely. Our estimates are used for loan approvals, builder quotes, and developer tenders.
Final Thoughts
Donât guess your way through a six-figure construction project. Estimating is part science, part experience, and part negotiation â and itâs worth doing right the first time.
When you work with AS Estimation & Consultants, youâre working with professionals who:
Use licensed software
Know your local construction market
Deliver fast, formatted, reliable BOQs

if you enjoyed antigone will take the stairs today, there's actually no guarantee whatsoever that you'll enjoy the project that i'm currently putting the finishing touches on, because, apart from a very loose 'these are both myth/legend-inspired' they're nothing alike. but i do hope you'll check it out anyway. because i'm putting my soul into this.
#kitty.txt#i didn't mean to put my soul in here but it kinda happened! it always does!#see you in a little under a month (which is how long i estimate it'll take to get it onto the internet)

And then I spent under five minutes reading it all the way through
#genuine question how do people come up with the time estimate for how fast something will be read#this was about 4k words and i know i read very fast but does the average person really take that long#also genuine question. why#when the word count is right there why is a time estimate helpful#on a less charitable note im generally ok when i read twice as fast as a fic estimates i will but six times as fast is ridiculous#it's like people who hate second person POV. 'you do this' no the fuck i do not

A surprisingly helpful bit of social maneuvering I've figured out from trial and error: Throughout your life, you are going to need things from people. Often, it's going to be on a deadline. And when that deadline passes, you generally want to know what's going on. So, you need to ask them.
There are two kinds of people, broadly, in this situation. The Shameless will tell you what the holdup is, with absolutely no regard for if the reason is "good enough". This is actually very helpful, because you get the real reason immediately, and can start working on a solution.
The Ashamed is trickier. People who are Ashamed are people who were often told they were giving excuses when they were trying to explain, and they'll often avoid you until they solve the problem on their own. This causes them and you a lot of stress, and often takes a lot longer to solve.
Long term, the strategy for dealing with people who are Ashamed is to provide a supportive environment where they're comfortable sharing any problems they're having with getting things done. But, there's a way to at least partially short-circuit that:
Provide an explanation for them.
One example might be "Hey Susan, I noticed that I don't have your report yet. Are you busy with other projects?" The readymade explanation signals that you're willing to accept an explanation, which is the big anxiety point.
Sometimes, you still won't get an honest answer- especially if the honest answer isn't "good enough" by the standards of the person who traumatized them. But, I've found that it often at least gets you a lie that lets you give them some slack or work around the problem.
Let's say that Susan has actually completely forgotten that she needed to do the report. She's horrified at herself, and completely unwilling to admit the real problem. But, she can now safely reply with "Sorry Jennifer, I've been swamped, and it got lost in the mix. I can have it to you in two days. Does that work?"
From there, so long as Susan gave an estimate for when she can actually do it, she and Jennifer can hash out a solution.
It's not a perfect solution, but it works astonishingly well for how small of a change it is.

seventeen's reaction to you hiding an injury from them !



pairings: ot13 x reader
genre: fluff
word count: 2.2k (lowkey estimated bc word counter isnât working)
cw: injuries (sprained wrist/ankle, concussions, etc.), blood mentioned but not descriptive (woozi) way too much backstory bc i'm a d1 yapper
a/n: for the record i've never sustained a major injury (thankfully!) besides when i dislocated my shoulder when i was 4 years old so this may not be accurate. SO sorry that this took so long i had a brain fart or smth đ

scoups - you really didn't think he'd notice immediately, but he does. you accidentally rolled your ankle trying to catch the subway. it wasn't too bad; the doctor said you'd minorly sprained your ankle, but all it needed was a couple weeks in a splint.
so deciding it wasn't that big of a deal (and lowkey a win since you got to skip work), you didn't think of telling seungcheol because one, you didn't feel like listening to him scold you for staying up too late the night before, and two, he'd just gotten off tour. he didn't need to spend the next couple of weeks babying you over an injury that didn't even require surgery. in some attempt to hide it, you put on some sweatpants and slippers and call it a day.
but when he returns home from a day out and catches you instantly put down your leg from where you'd been elevating it on a footstool, he immediately grows suspicious of something. "why were you doing that just now?"
"eh? i think you're being paranoid- oh, um..." you try to play it off, but then he comes closer and inspects your body for a bit before pulling up your pant leg to reveal the splint surrounding your ankle despite your protests.
his eyes widen and he looks up at you from where he's kneeling. "you got hurt? when? why didn't you call me?" he asks rapidly. you sigh, listening to him scold you even more than what he would have if you'd told him earlier, finally promising him to never hide anything from him again.
jeonghan - basically, you slipped in the shower and gave yourself a concussion while jeonghan was at practice. out of pure embarrassment, you didn't tell jeonghan because let's be real, it sounded a little stupid and someone like him would never let you live it down.
and honestly, you thought you'd exceeded. jeonghan had come home and didn't mention anything to you, just complaining about how he hates all his choreography (he says this everytime he has to learn new choreo...). that was until you went to bed.
all is well, but then those massive headaches roll in one by one and now you're stuck with an unbearable migraine. trying not to disturb your boyfriend, you uncurl yourself from him and barely make your way to the kitchen.
the headache only gets worse as you fumble with the advil bottle while cursing your concussion aloud when suddenly a hand takes it and opens it. "here," you turn around, only to find jeonghan offering the bottle with a confused, sleepy look.
"and what were you muttering around? a concussion or something?" you gulp, taking the advil as you try to come up with an excuse. he takes your (literally three second) hesitation as an answer, "wait- you actually got a concussion?" avoiding the question, you attempt to usher him back to bed, but now he's somehow gained consciousness and doesn't back down. "y/n, what happened? and why didn't you tell me?" and when you finally tell him, he's... disappointed?
"baby, you really didn't tell me you got a concussion because you thought i'd make fun of you?" he sighs, shaking his head before putting his hands on your shoulder, "i'm your lover before a jokester or best friend, okay? i care about you more than anything. don't hide things like this from me."
joshua - in this situation, you would say "snitches get stitches" but the only one who actually got stitches was you.
you got a pretty bad arm wound while bike riding with your friend. it hurt and the only thing you really remembered was crying from the pain. anyways, joshua had just gotten off tour, and you'd feel bad for making him worry, so you made your friend promise to not mention it to him.
but the only warning you get when you return home from the hospital is a text from that same friend saying, "sorry y/n...." before you open the door and are greeted by a very worried joshua.
"y/n! i heard about your arm, are you okay?" you try to brush him off, but he doesn't let you. "hey, your friend also said you were going to try to hide it from me. why's that?"
"it's really not a big deal shua-"
"don't lie to me, she said you were crying, babe. why are you trying so hard to keep this from me?"
you don't know what to say and joshua just embraces you, "here, i'll take care of you okay?" and you let him, because it's joshua.
jun - ugh, he's so oblivious yet somehow annoyingly observant that he finds out without trying.
someone ran over your toe with a shopping cart during your grocery trip. it truly didn't hurt that much in the moment, but the hours after that? oh boy were they torturing.
it still didn't seem like enough to tell jun about, so you simply went about your day suffering in silence.
during dinner, however, he asks you through scoops of chinese steamed egg, "did you hurt your foot while shopping?"
taken aback by the accuracy of his question, you literally drop your spoon and he's just like, "what?? you just seem to be lighter on your feet today, that's all."
he takes the whole situation pretty lightly (oblivious i tell you) that he doesn't even believe you when you try to tell him the truth đ "okay, okay, you're just trying to make me seem smart now." so then you take off your sock at the dinner table and lift your bruised foot to show him and he looks at you like this: (°ă°)
hoshi - unlike jun, he does NOT take it lightly. he's almost offended.
yes, you shouldn't be trying to walk around too much with a bad ankle, but you can't help it okay? sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, like walk hoshi's dog, latte, while he works on his album.
he's been really busy, okay? you never told him about how you tripped around a week ago, so you'd just been living as if it never happened. honestly it's no surprise that you kind of automatically accepted his sister's request without thinking of your ankle (that was praying you'd stop putting pressure on it).
but then you make the grave mistake of posting your walk on instagram with just a sliver of the bandage wrapping up your ankle. he literally hearts the story, removes it, and replies with an angry face.
he calls you, "y/n! what are you doing walking around with an obviously injured leg? and why am i finding out through your instagram story?"
you're not sure what to say, but he talks for you, "i'm leaving practice right now so i can take care of both my babies, don't move. you'll make your ankle worse, babe."
"right, because you'd know-" and he hangs up on you,
wonwoo - silently observant...
you were surprised that you'd been able to go this long with a cast around your wrist, only using hoodies to conceal it, but turns out wonwoo's like those shop employees who wait for people to steal $1000 worth of stuff before dropping that lawsuit on them.
one day, you're both just sitting on the couch when he grabs ahold of your wrist. he literally waits for you to be distracted, doomscrolling on social media, to do it.
but then you feel him roll up your sleeve, and now you're doomed.
"what's this, y/n?" he asks firmly, holding your arm tight enough to where you can't move, but somehow gently as to prevent any discomfort (how cute of him).
"you really didn't think i would notice it? you wearing hoodies when it's 70 degrees, eating with your nondominant hand, taking forever to shower because you have to wash your hair with one arm, why didn't you just let me take care of you?"
you sort of shrink back in shame; wonwoo read you and you were stunned. he simply takes you into his arms, murmuring, "i'm not mad, i just want you to know that you don't have to struggle like that when i'm here. i'll notice either way."
woozi - ouch. you accidentally cut yourself while cleaning up the remnants of a glass cup you dropped. the cut was deep, but somehow still in a sleepy daze, you cleaned it to the best of your ability, slapped some gauze on it, and went back to bed.
whenever jihoon comes home, he follows his normal 2 am schedule, but then notices the blood-stained towel in the hamper. he rushes to your room, only to find you sound asleep.
still, he shakes you awake, "y/n, why's there a towel with blood all over it in the laundry room?" you kind of look at him, confused, before simply lifting your arm to reveal the amateur work you did you bandage it.
at first, he sighs in relief, but then you see his brows furrow. "when did this happen? seems kinda serious..." he inspects it closely as you mumble, "i dunno, couple hours ago? i dropped something."
"what? why didn't you call me? i could've come home earlier to take care of it." he says, feeling guilty about not being there.
"it's really nothing, you've been really busy anyway. this isn't something you should worry about-" but he shushs you. "i'm never too busy to help you, y/n. i don't want you thinking like that."
dk - like hoshi, he doesn't take it lightly. you took a heavy fall while rushing to work a couple days ago. it wasn't a big deal until your arm started to bruise pretty badly.
you knew seokmin would freak out at it, so you planned on wearing long sleeve shirts to cover it up, and it'd been working pretty well.
but unfortunately for you, this had to be the time where you forgot to bring a shirt with you to shower, accidentally bringing two pairs of pants instead.
you tried to dash in and out of your room as fast as possible, but seokmin was plopped on your bed, getting a clear view of your arm (you had a towel wrapped around you okay?).
his jaw drops, you grab a shirt, water is dripping everywhere, and you yell âiâll explain later!â as you run back to the bathroom.
when you come back, his jaw is still in the same position. âseok, itâs really not that bad.â you assure him, but he barely pays attention, just reaching for your arm. âit looks bad thoughâŠâ he mumbles, poking at the bruise like a little kid, âthat didnât hurt, right?â
ugh, heâs so cute.
mingyu - you somehow manage to slice your hand open while cooking dinner for whenever mingyu comes home.
do you tell him? absolutely not. you definitely do not need him locking you out of the kitchen after you try to cook one time.
you really donât have time to go to the hospital (which you definitely shouldâve done??) so you opt to put some pressure on it with a towel until it stops bleeding, and because you have terrible timing, mingyu enters the apartment.
at first he says âsmells pretty good! what are you-â he strides into the kitchen to see the food you were unable to plate at the dining table (that actually looks pretty good), your distressed face, and then your hand.
âat least i got here on time,â he says, taking your hand and looking at it closely. âdonât worry, i was like trained for this stuff.â he smiles, heading toward what you used to think was an overstuffed medical cabinet.
âyou didnât even call me. were you planning to take care of this yourself?â he asks, wrapping your hand with precision. âiâm here for a reason, you know? you just gotta let me help you, baby.â
the8 - you had a feeling minghao would notice immediately, but there was a very slim chance heâd miss it this time. heâd just got done filming for his survival show, and you knew heâd be tired when he got home.
youâre a pretty clumsy person, and you always felt bad for making a usually calm minghao worried. so, when you tripped and got a concussion the day before, you didnât tell him.
it was going fine, painkillers acting as your savior, but then you ran out of them. groaning, you decide to wait for minghao to leave the house to go buy more, but he doesnât?
itâs like his subconscious knew your plan, and eventually you just canât take it anymore, calling your friend and asking her to drop some off.
then you go to take a nap on the couch as an attempt to sleep off the headache you have, unaware that your friendâs at the door.
minghao gently shakes you awake, bottle of advil in his hand and a concerned look on his face. âi knew something was up with you. you shouldâve just told me, y/n.â he says, explaining how your friend gave him a weird face when he asked about the medication and then dropping how you got a concussion like it was obvious.
âwe shouldnât hide things like this, okay? itâs not good for you.â
seungkwan - letâs just say, you may not be cut out for volleyball.
you were just goofing off with your friends, playing volleyball, when you dislocated your shoulder. seungkwan was hosting a variety show, and you didnât feel like bothering him, so you didnât mention it, not even when he video called you during his lunch break.
it wasnât that bad of an injury, the doctor popped it back into its socket and you were sent home with some medication.
a week passes with no problem, but then seungkwan offers to play some badminton (like the LAST sport you should be trying to play during recovery), and thinking it wouldnât be too bad, you accept.
itâs only till youâre actually swinging the racket that you realize that your shoulder has definitely not healed, let alone healed enough to really be playing a sport. you suddenly pause, âwait- just give me a minute.â he runs over from his side of the court. âhey, whatâs going on? you look like youâre in pain.â
trying to get out the fact itâs because you got a dislocated shoulder, you ramble âitâs fine, just a dislocatedshoulderigotaweekagowithouttellingyou đâ
and heâs like âWHAT? are you crazy?? why are you trying to play on it?â and proceeds to grab that same arm and drag you out of the court. he definitely scolds you for the rest of the dayâŠ
vernon - normally heâs chill, but right now heâs lowkey tweaking out.
while he was visiting his sister for her birthday, you broke your leg. you didnât tell vernon because you wanted him to have a good time with his sister (how nice of you đ), but when he comes home, he doesnât think of it as such.
youâre laying on the couch, watching a show, whenever he enters the apartment. thereâs a blanket over you, so he doesnât notice the leg immediately.
âfinally, this jet lag has got me *yawn* out of it.â he says, lifting the blanket just enough so he can slide in next to you.
he still doesnât notice until his leg touches your boot, yelping in surprise. âwhy are you wearing shoes on the couch?â and then making another surprised noise when you reveal its a medical boot.
âdid this happen when i was gone? you shouldâve told meâŠâ he gently scolds you, mainly because you made him so surprised, and then just lays back with you on the couch like nothing happened.
dino - you really wanted to tell him, but he just looked so happy in singapore and you really didnât feel like ruining his time there.
on the way to class, you fractured your wrist while trying to catch yourself. since then, youâve been struggling trying to do basically anything: changing clothes, showering, cooking, the list goes on.
but you didnât tell him, just choosing to get through it until he comes home.
ây/n~ iâm home!â he calls out, walking in with his luggage. youâre in the shower, arm sticking out as far as it can away from the water, trash bag wrapped around that arm, and ultimately, just in a bad position.
âum, in here! can you help me?â you holler. you feel bad for making him help you as soon as he got home, but youâre going through hell and back trying to shampoo your hair.
he walks into the bathroom, âyou sure you want me in here?â and all he sees is a fogged up shower with a trash bagged arm sticking out of it. surprisingly, he immediately understands what happened.
âbabe, you shouldâve told me earlier.â he says, helping you wash your hair properly. âi donât like to think that youâve been struggling like this without me there.â he frowns, kissing you on the forehead.

Glowing (Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader)
------------------Â
Author Masterlist
------------------
Pairing:Â Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader.
Summary: The team has been out on a case for about ten days now. You're not with them this time due to your 21st-week pregnancy and doctor's order not to go to the field, and you miss your husband, Spencer, like crazy. When they come back, Spencer can't stop looking at you and your recent baby bump. To say it makes him feral is an understatement, and he wants to show you how marvelous you are despite your insecurities about your changing body.
Word Count: 5.8k
Warnings: SMUT/18+/MDNI. Spencer and Reader are horny AF. There is a lot of teasing, heated kissing, heavy making out, oral sex, PIV sex, and breeding kink (a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy). Reader has some insecurities about her body.
A/N: This idea was requested a while ago. I'm so sorry it took me so long to get it done. But here it is! Someone asked for horny!future!dad!Spencer? Well, youâre welcome.
---------------
You can't say you are thrilled about staying in Virginia when all of your team is fighting crime on the other side of the country. Not when it has been ten days since they are gone. Not when you haven't seen your husband that long because he happens to work on the same team.
It's not that you had another option, though. Considering you are almost in your 21st week of pregnancy, your doctor advised you to take it slow on the job. That means being on the field miles away from home became a big no, and this time, you had to settle for nightly phone calls and daily texts with Spencer.
So it doesn't surprise anyone to see the happiness on your face when Hotch calls around midday, announcing that the case is over and they are flying home.
Penelope, always the joyful human being on Earth, immediately got on board with Rossi to host a gathering in his mansion once they were back tonight. Of course, Rossi agreed. Virtually no one can say no to Penelope.
"Okay, mama-genius," she says after ending the call with David. "We have a party tonight and a lot of things to do."
You may be worried about what 'a lot' can imply, but it is just a saying. Penelope will do most of it anyway, claiming you can't do any strenuous task so as not to bother baby-genius. Since the moment you and Spencer told the team about the baby's coming, Garcia baptized you all: papa-genius, mama-genius, and baby-genius. You find it the cutest thing in the world.
Walking through the supermarket aisles, you get everything you'll need: snacks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and all the stuff. And with the cart full, Penelope sends you home to get ready.
"But Pen, you need help to set all this up."
"Don't worry, honey. I already have Anderson waiting for me at Rossi's. The benefits of having a spare key," she proudly says, dangling her keychain full of keys. "Now go! Go to get ready for your man. I know you have been missing him like crazy."
She is not wrong in the slightest, so you don't fight her. A bath sounds nice right now, and with all the pregnancy going on, you'll need the extra time to get ready.
-
Ten days have been torture for Spencer Reid. It's the longest he has been apart from you since you guys discovered you are pregnant. Sure, phone calls and texts help, but it's not enough. Not to the overprotective Spencer, anyway. It's not that he doesn't trust you; he does. But his mind always works in overdrive, and he worries more than he should. Not to mention, he has missed you like he hasn't seen you in months.
When Rossi tells the team the plans for the night once they arrive, Spencer is a bit disappointed. He would have preferred to go straight home to be with you. But when JJ assures him you will be there, his apprehensions change to anticipation.
The kind of anticipation that keeps him anxious until everyone arrives at Rossi's past 8 p.m. They were a little bit late for the estimated time, but the traffic was hell today.
A happy Penelope opens the door before Rossi can reach his key.
"Welcome home, mon amis."
"My home, you say?" the old man corrects, no real annoyance in his voice.
"Share is care, so our home is," Garcia retorts, effusively hugging every team member crossing the threshold. The last one is Spencer. "Your woman is waiting for you," she whispers to him after almost crushing him in her embrace.
Spencer practically runs to the living room, where you are greeting everyone. His eyes nearly can't give credit to what he sees. Of course, he knows how you look. He has known you for years and has memorized every detail of you: your height, the way your head leans when you're listening to someone, the color of your eyes, the way you smile, your expressive hands, and every curve of your body. But today? Something looks different, alluring, magnetic, and so entrancing.
His brain has a suitable explanation for it. Sure, when you haven't seen your partner in days, you tend to enhance every detail you love about them. 'Love hormones,' others would say. But no, this is more than psychology and chemistry.
Pregnancy has made changes in you. It was expected, and Spencer knows that, but reading it in a book is way different than seeing it for himself. Sure, there were the headaches and the morning sickness in the early stages. Adding the mood swings and fatigue. But nothing prepared him for the body changes. And not in the bad way people must think, all the opposite. To Spencer, pregnancy has made you the most sexy woman in the world. And after ten days of being deprived of those changes, to him, all come at once. Your breasts got bigger, and you definitely started to show more. The sundress you're wearing just enhances those details, and Spencer feels like he can faint right there.
When your eyes meet across the room, his breath hitches; those eyes he loves so much are glowing and chanting a spell Spencer won't escape from. Not that he wants to, anyway.
Shameless, you leave your conversation with Prentiss and Luke and run to your husband, throwing your arms around his neck.
"I missed you," you murmur into his neck. Spencer hugs you back and closes his eyes, relishing how good you smell and how good it is to have you in his arms again. "We missed you," you add.
The mention of your unborn child melts Spencer on the spot. "I missed you both, too," he manages to say, reluctantly parting from your embrace to look at you and get lost in your eyes again. "I love you," he whispers, leaning to capture your lips with his. And just like that, the anti-PDA, Spencer Reid, indulges himself in kissing you in front of everyone.
The teasing from the team around is only background noise, and neither Spencer nor you are very concerned about it. Not until you involuntarily tug his hair, and Spencer needs to do everything in his power to stop the groan threatening to escape his lips.
Parting and clearing your throats, you both try to regain composure. All the team's eyes are on you, but the only one who dares to point out the obvious is Rossi.
"I have a guest room upstairs, at the second door down the hall."
The comment causes the team to laugh and you to be mortified.
"Sorry," you both mumble, a deep shade of crimson adorning your cheeks. Grabbing your hand, Spencer pulls you to a corner. You're still in sight of the people but far enough to talk and not be listened to.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He points to your baby's belly. It's not an accusatory question, more like an excited one.
"I wanted it to be a surprise. I would have liked to be in a more private setting, but I wasn't going to miss being here and waiting for you at home to show you."
Spencer's hand rests over your now prominent belly and rubs soothing patterns there. "It's amazing," he admits. "How are you feeling?"
You let out a content sigh, feeling the warmth emanating from your husband's palm to your lower stomach.
"Much better now you're here."
"They haven't done much trouble, have they?"
"Nah. Behaves like an angel." And it's the truth. The second trimester has been much better than the previous one: no morning sickness, less fatigue, and it has been great.
There are other 'issues' though. The boost of energy has been paired with an increase in your libido that sometimes is very hard to control. The times Spencer is around, having sex can be enough, but with days passing and with the tenderness and care Spencer has been touching you, it's getting hard to satiate your most primal needs. You know he does it because he doesn't want to hurt you, but even if you have assured him you won't break, he hesitates nonetheless.
And now, after all these days without him, you are sure another touch from him, even the most innocent, will set your body on fire. You are sure this night will be excessively long.
Spencer's thoughts are not very different from yours. The moment he sees you in your sundress walking to him was enough to make his mind wander.
"OK, mister. Enough lovebirds' moment for now. The girls need their time, too." Without warning, Penelope grabs your hand to lead you to the group where Tara, Emily, and JJ are.
You can only shrug to Spencer as Penelope drags you from him. Spencer gives you a reassuring smile. It's fine; you are both adults, he reminds himself. How can it be so difficult to keep his hands to himself for a couple of hours?
Easier said than done, he'll realize.
Neither of you can't help the stolen glances across the room or the subtle smiles you share as you talk to the team at different spots in the house.
Spencer doesn't know if he can control himself much longer. You look stunning and tempting, and his mind starts to fill with unholy things he wants to do to you.
"Reid?" Luke's worried voice gets him out of his mental predicament.
"I - uh. I'm sorry, what did you say?"Â
"Are you alright, man? You seem distracted."
If alright means extremely horny and with an incipient boner tightening his pants, then yes, he's more than alright.
"Yes. Yeah. Uh - I'll grab some water. Excuse me, I'll be right back."
The trip to the bathroom is quick and mildly effective: Splashing cold water on his face and reciting the Declaration of Independence in his mind, Spencer regains some composure and gets back to where the peopleâand youâare.
The night continues in the same way. It's not like you are openly teasing him, but Spencer can't help himself.
The last straw comes when you're in the backyard talking to JJ and Emily, and you're laughing so hard that your body jolts, making your breasts bounce a bit, exposing more of your cleavage. It's not that evident to anyone, but for Spencer, who has been gawking at you all night, it is clear as day.
He wants you, and he wants you now.
Spencer sets his glass of water on the table and strolls where you are. Giving JJ and Emily a tight-lip smile, he leans to whisper something in your ear. The girls can't hear what it is, but the flush in your cheeks should give them an idea.
"Yeah, it's kind of late. And yeah, I'm feeling a bit tired," you tell Spencer, now looking at the girls, not wanting to disclose what Spencer actually said.
"Sure, carrying a baby Reid must be exhausting," Emily teases, gaining a roll of eyes from Spencer.
"Go, guys. Don't worry; I think I'll leave soon, too," JJ says, and you nod gratefully to avoid making more uncomfortable the moment.
With a tight grip on your hand, Spencer walks with you to say goodbye to everybody. Then, no later than that, you hop on the Uber, already waiting outside Rossi's.
-
All the ride home, Spencer's hand rests firmly on your tigh. His eyes can't peel off of you. All of you. It's like he hasn't seen you in months and wants to memorize each feature. You look back at him with a mix of amusement and self-consciousness. The lust is all written on his gaze, but there is something more, too. Love, longing, reverence. It's like there isn't anything else in the world but you.
The thought only fuels how much you love him and, of course, how horny you feel. Is it hot in this car, or is that just your idea? Why is the ride taking longer than you would like? You're about to huff in protest when the vehicle stops at your destination. Thanks God!
Spencer never falters his grip on you all the time. You can feel him everywhere: on your hand as you take the stairs, on your lower back walking down the hall, on your shoulder when you fish the key in your purse.
As the door shuts behind you, Spencer's lips are on yours in an instant. Kissing you hard. Like he's a drowning man, and you are the air he needs.
"God, you don't know how hard it was to control myself," Spencer mumbles, now peppering wet kisses down your neck to your collarbone.
"Hard, uh? Well, I guess I have an idea," you say, palming him over his slacks, making him hiss.
"Don't tease me, please," Spencer growls between kisses as he walks you both through the apartment to your bedroom, leaving a trail of clothes in your path.
"I'm not, baby. I promise I'm not. I'm as desperate as you are." You're not lying. Your body has been on fire the whole night. You want him as much as he wants you right now.
When your legs hit the bed, you're both only in your underwear.
Spencer breaks the kiss to look at you. The bedroom is only lit by the hallway lights. He reaches for the nightstand to switch the lamp on, but before he does, you stop him.
"Can we just-" You don't finish the sentence, but Spencer understands what you're asking for.
"Yeah. We can, of course. But what's wrong?"
It's not the first time you have sex with the room's lights off, but those times, neither of you has explicitly requested it. You usually don't have trouble with Spencer seeing you naked, but since you got pregnant and your body started to change, you don't feel sexy, and it is mining your confidence. Spencer's suspicion goes in that same direction.
"Nothing," you say, pulling him to kiss him again with the same passion as before. Spencer almost surrenders at your doing, but he stops.
"Hey," he whispers. "Talk to me."
You sit on the mattress, knowing you have to tell him what's bothering you. He sits by your side, patiently waiting for you to collect your thoughts and choose your words.
After some seconds of deliberation, it is you who switches the lamp on. Standing from the bed, you plant yourself in front of Spencer.
"What do you see?" you ask, with your hands on your hips.
Spencer's eyes rack your body from head to toe, especially double-taking your lower stomach, where your pregnant belly is. The answer is obvious to him.
"My perfect and sexy wife, standing almost naked in front of me, trying to kill me because I can't touch her yet."
You roll your eyes, huffing. "Spencer, be serious, please."
"I am! Baby, I don't know why you could think I'm not being honest with you."
There is a scold on the tip of your tongue, but you relent, changing it for a deep sigh.
"But look at me! These-" you say, eyes darting between your breast and the skin of your stomach. "There is no chance this is sexy. I'm bloated half of the time; my skin feels gross, and the stretch marks are more every day. And my tits! God, if I unhook my bra, they are going to fall to the floor!"
It's true, your body isn't the same as it was a couple of months ago, and it'll probably continue to change as the weeks go by, but for Spencer, that doesn't make you any less attractive or desirableâquite the opposite.
"Hey, look at me, please," Spencer asks in a soft voice. You do as he says, now feeling more exposed in front of him. Spencer notices and takes your hands to bring you closer to him.
"You know you're carrying a human being in your womb, right?" he asks, tracing soft patterns with his finger over the skin of your arms. "That makes your body not look or feel the way it usually does. But it's perfectly natural, and I'm sure you know that." Spencer stops to kiss your stomach. "What you don't seem to know is that every change makes you more perfect than you already are. Love, you are perfect for who you are, and your body is perfect because it's yoursâstretch marks or not, breasts enlarged or not, swollen or not."
"You have to say that," you complain with an adorable pout, and Spencer chuckles.
âI have to say that because it's true. Did I lie to you before?â You shake your head no. âExactly.â
He pulls you to him so you can sit on his lap. Your arms rest loosely around his neck. He looks up at you with only adoration in his eyes.
âLove. You look amazing. Gorgeous. And so so sexy. I have been craving to touch you all night, renegaded to only see you from afar. That's torture,â Spencer says, lips hovering over your jaw before trailing down loving kissesâthe feel of his wet lips pushing your heart rate to go up.
âYou don't know what you do to me, do you? All these days thinking about you, what it's like to have you in my arms, what it's like to be able to kiss you, to smell you.â Spencer says, his fingers dancing over the patch of exposed skin of your breasts still clad in your bra. His lips sucking on that special spot on your neck. You can't help the nasty moan that leaves your mouth.
His eyes search yours for permission when one of his hands rests on the clasp of your bra. You nod, and he unclasps it, revealing your full breasts to him. You swear you hear him whimper at the sight, just as you feel him twitch beneath your thighs.
âFuck, darling. They are so perfect. So round, so full, so soft,â Spencer praises as his mouth latches to one of your nipples and, with one hand, squeezes the flesh of your other breast. âI couldnât stop all night thinking about doing this. Claiming these perfect tits.â
âSpencer, fuck!â you moan when he sucks harder. âYes!â
âSo sensitive. These tits are all mine,â Spencer mumbles as he switches his mouth from one nipple to the other.
He keeps lapping, swirling his tongue, sucking. It's like he can't have enough of it. And you can feel it in your bones.
'Extasis' keeps it short to explain how you feel right now. Just with the use of his mouth, Spencer is already pushing you close to the edge. In the back of your mind, you can hear his voice explaining how nipple stimulation can produce orgasms. You didn't think it would be possible at the time, but now you're nearing experiencing it.
"Spence, please. Just -"
One of his hands travels south, leaving goosebumps in its wake until it reaches the waistband of your panties.
âTell me what you need, baby. And Iâll give it to you.â
âI need you to touch me,â you mewl, your voice cracking with desire.
âHere?â Spencer teases, trailing feather touches across your inner thigh. His mouth marks your neck, his favorite spot on you.
âMore. Please, donât make beg,â you plead. Spencerâs smirk could tell he was not done with the teasing. But in all honesty, he doesn't know how much he can contain himself.
âMy baby is desperate already. Let's see how much.â A hand sneaks under your panties, and the slick pooling there tells Spencer everything he needs to know.
âFuck, youâre soaked. Itâs all for me?â He cockily asks as his fingers tease your folds. You gasp at the contact of his fingers on you.
âFor you only. Spencer, Iâm yours. Always.â
âAnd I am yours. No matter what. I love you so much,â Spencer says, now claiming your mouth with a searing kiss. It's like he wants to devour you whole, beyond the physics laws, if it's possible.
You let yourself go, kissing him urgently, your fingers tangled in his hair, giving experimental tugs, which Spencer rewards with grunts of pleasure.
You don't realize when you start rocking on his lap, seeking more friction from his fingers.
Spencer continues his assault on your center, alternating the thrusting of his fingers in and out with rubbing against your clit.
"Oh, God!" You whine, not fully believing how good it feels.
âSo good, my love. So so good,â Spencer chants. His free hand on your back, maneuvering to lay you down on the mattress without stopping his ministrations in your pussy, and latching his lips to the crook of your neck. The new position allows him to reach deeper inside you with his fingers, massaging that spongy spot that makes you see stars.
âRight there! Oh, please.â You are on the verge of falling, your body surrending to Spencerâs experimented touch. He knows your body better than you.
Your moans go straight to Spencerâs cock, twitching inside his boxers, rock-hard and screaming for attention, but he has a mission before ever thinking of his pleasure. He needs you to come on his fingers first.
âAre you going to come for me, baby?â
âYes! Iâm so - so close,â you cry.
âI can feel you clenching on my fingers. That's it. Let go, my love. Cum for me; let me feel you,â Spencer encourages, and it's the last push you need. Your vision goes white, and your body starts to shake. The coil snaps and flows your body with waves of pleasure.
âFuck! Yes!â You cry as your orgasm travels through your body. âSpencer! Yes!â
Spencer doesnât stop the in and out of his fingers, still rubbing your clit, at a slower pace, helping you to ride it out. His breath is hot on your neck, mumbling praises of how good you are, how much he has missed you, and how good you feel around his fingers.
When the aftershocks subside, Spencer carefully retracts his fingers, sucking them clean before passionately kissing you. You can taste yourself on his lips, fueling the desire to have more of him.
âI missed you,â you say, still breathless. Spencer lies on the mattress by your side, stroking your cheek.
âAnd I missed you. Both of you,â he says, now rubbing a hand over your belly. You let out a content sigh. âWe donât have to do anything else tonight. We can just prepare to go to bed.â
Your head snaps up in an instant.
âAre you fucking kidding me? No! Weâre not done, mister. We have a lot of days apart to make it up to.â
Spencer laughs. âYes, maâam.â
âStart with those boxers. Get them off,â you command, kneeling on the mattress and suddenly feeling a rush of adrenaline. Spencer pulls his boxers down, freeing his cock from the confines of the fabric. It's hard, red, and already leaking precum. And your mouth waters.
âLike the view?â He teases.
âVery,â you shamelessly reply, gawking at the way his cock twitches under your gaze. You position between his legs. He is at your level sight with his elbows on the mattress. You wrap a hand around his shaft, giving a light squeeze, as your other hand looks purchase on his thigh. Spencer hisses at the contact.
âBaby, you donât have to,â he reminds you, knowing this position could be uncomfortable for you.
âOh, yes, I have to,â you counter. âI have been thinking about sucking you off for weeks, Spencer. Weeks!â
Spencer laughs at your dramatics, but still, he reaches for your chin to tilt up so you can look at him.
âJust let me know if it's too much, and we can stop, okay?â
Did you mention before about how careful he has been treating you since you discovered you were pregnant? Yes, you did. And here is a reminder.
âOkay,â you reassure him, giving an experimental lick at the tip. The salty taste just encourages you to lick the underside, from base to tip and back and forth. Spencerâs moans are music for your ears. You lower yourself now, taking him in your mouthâinch by glorious inch.
There is something special about giving Spencer head, and itâs beyond the sexual component of pushing him to orgasm. It's about the way he surrenders to your touch, the way he is splayed over the bed at your mercy. The way he trusts you in such a vulnerable position. He doesn't rush you; heâs pliant at your pace because he knows you know how to pleasure him.
âFuck!â he groans when you go deeper. âSo good, baby. You take it so good.â
As him with yours, you relish on his praises. He never stops complimenting you and vocalizing the way you make him feel. Evidence of how much you like it is the pool of wetness forming in your center just hearing him moan and talk.
With renewed vigor, you keep bobbing your head up and down, swirling your tongue, and extracting the more nasty and sexy noises from Spencerâs lips.
âJust - just like that. You are doing amazing.â His hands rest over your head, but he doesnât push or pull; he just grounds himself in the midst of the pleasure cloud he is in.
But when that knowing coil is forming on him, Spencer knows he needs you to stop, or he wonât last much.
Gently, he grabs a fistful of your hair and pulls you back. You understand the signal and release him with a pop.
âWhat is it? You donât want to?â You ask, licking your lips full of fluids of both of you. Spencer is panting, shaking his head no.
âYou were amazing, but I donât want to cum yet. And I want to cum inside of you.â The admission makes the heat in your body rise.
His hand caresses lovingly your cheek as youâre sitting on your haunches on the mattress. Spencer sits with his back on the headboard, raking your entire naked body from head to toe. His eyes are full of adoration.
Leave it to Spencer to look at you like you were Afrodite's incarnation, even with your grown breasts and bloated body.
âWhat?â You ask, giggling out of nervousness. Years with him, and that piercing gaze still makes your heart flutter.
"Marvelous. So beautiful. The most gorgeous. Perfect.â
Before you can protest the overflowing compliments, Spencer's hands cup your face to pull you into a deep kiss. You kiss him back with urgency, straddling him. Spencerâs hands go to your waist to keep you in place, where you belong, on top of him. From that position, you can feel his cock twitching with want.
"Spencer-" you mumble in his lips, almost like a whisper.
"Yes, sweetheart?" he asks, focusing on how you start swaying your hips, making contact with his hardness, and settling him on fire.
âI need to ride you, now,â you plead, and Spencer canât say no to you even if he tried.
âThen ride me. Take everything you need from me,â Spencer says, leaving the grasp of your hips so you can lift yourself to position his cock at your entrance. You start to sink and you both are gasping for air. It feels so good. You feel so full with every pull and push of your core into Spencerâs cock. It's a sensation that never gets old.
âThat's it. You are doing so well. Take your time,â Spencer reminds you, but you have been craving him so much that you donât have patience anymore. Spencer's hands come back to your hips, and yours rest on his shoulders for balance. With a last bounce, youâre full to the hilt.
âFuck!â You hiss. The stretching is a mix of pain and pleasure thatâs driving you insane. Spencerâs concerned eyes seek yours.
âYou okay?â He asks, his gaze now raking your body, looking for something that can tell him about your discomfort.
âYes! Iâm okayâmore than okay,â you assure him. Then you remember there is something he needs to know, something you need from him.
"Spencer, look at me," you demand, and he does what you ask.
"Yeah?" he pants, eyes mapping your face for any sign of what you want to say.
"I want something. Better said, I need something,â you pant, feeling already the urge to move.
"Okay, whatever you need. I'll give it to you."
"I need to feel you. All of you.â Spencer nods.
âYou are feeling me now, baby. Iâm not going anywhere.â
âSpencer. Iâm talking about being rough. I need it hard. Please, baby, don't hold back."
âOh.â Realization hits him at the same time you clench around him. âFuck. But I donât want to hurt you.â
âLove, I promise you, you wonât break me.â
Spencer looks still hesitant.
âPlease, donât deprive me of you. I need to be consumed by you. I need to feel you everywhere; I need to be reminded I'm yours, and you're mine. Remind me youâre the only one who can have me like this. Remind me who put this baby in me.â
The way Spencerâs cock twitches inside of you and the groan escaping his lips is enough for you to know he got the memo.
His eyes darkened even more, and you could swear you saw a smirk on his face.
âYou donât know what youâre asking, do you?â he says, thrusting up so you can feel him deeper.
âAh! Show me! Give me what you think I deserve, please,â you beg, and for Spencer is the last straw. With both hands on your hips, he starts to bounce you up and down. Your hands rest on his stomach as you try to catch a rhythm. It starts messy and frantic, and you canât care less. Youâre riding Spencer, and that's what matters.
âSo tight. I donât know how I can fit here. Feels amazing.â Spencer's voice is strained, breathless.
As you gain more control over your movements, the grinding intensifies. Every part of your body is on fire. The bounce of your breasts makes Spencer feral.
âThese tits. Are mine. All mine,â Spencer chants, hands squeezing them. âYouâre mine.â
Damn right, you think. You are his. Every part of you is his, in the same way you are claiming him as yours right now.
Not fully satisfied with touching, Spencer leans forward and captures one of your nipples with his mouth, one arm around your waist to help you as you keep riding him.
âFuck! Spencer!â You cry when he sucks harder. Tugging his hair, you speed your rhythm, feeling the coil forming, a new orgasm approaching.
At some point your legs start to falter, the exertion making them cramp, but you donât want to stop. Spencer notices, though.
âIâve got you,â he says, maneuvering you on your back without pulling out. Now heâs on top, and your legs over his shoulders. âThatâs better, uh?â
You nod eagerly. âBut donât stop, please.â
âI wonât.â
With this new angle, Spencer thrusts deeper and harder. It's all you have wanted for weeks. The sinful sound of skin hitting skin fills the room, and you can respire the smell of sweat and sex.
âYes! Just like that!â
âOh, so you wanted it harder, uh? My sweet, dirty thing,â Spencer coos, head nestled in the crook of your neck. You feel his hot breath, how heâs panting while giving you precise and deliberate thrusts, in and out, in and out.
âSpence, Iâm close,â you warn, and Spencer doesn't halt his movements, leaning a bit back to look at you.
âMe too, baby.â
You are a sight to behold. Your messy hair, sweat sparkling on your skin, eyes full of lust, the moans leaving your lips, tits bouncing with every thrust, and that bump, where your baby is. Spencer still canât believe it's real.
âYouâre so gorgeous. You look so good, pregnant with my baby. Everyone knows youâre mine.â
âYours, always,â you half-sob, half-moan. The pleasure is overwhelming, and you can feel it in your bones. Spencer knows exactly how to get you there. Heâs almost there too.
âThatâs what you want? That I keep you nice a knocked up all the time? Do you want my cum, donât you?â
âYes! All the time. Please.â
âDonât worry. Iâll keep you nice and full.â Spencer vows, kissing your calf and sneaking down his fingers to rub your clit in tight circles.
âOh, God.â
Youâre on the verge of falling. The wet sounds your bodies are making, the panting and moans, Spencerâs words, everything is pushing you to the edge.
âCome for me, come on my cock,â Spencer demands, and it is like your body has to comply because as the words leave his mouth, your orgasm hits you like a freight train.
âFucking shit! Yes!â You scream, feeling your body trembling with pleasure. Spencerâs pace keeps, now chasing his own end.
âThatâs my girl,â he praises, losing some rhythm. âSo good for me.â
You can feel him twitching inside with each thrust as you clench your walls, still riding your high.
âSpencer, please. Cum inside. Fill me up, baby. I need it so bad,â you plead, and Spencer loses it. After a deep thrust, he grunts and stills inside, spilling everything he has. You feel his warmth filling you up, a content sigh leaving your lips.
For a few seconds, you both remain still, panting and trying to catch your breath. Spencer is the first to react. Not pulling out, he lowers your legs from his shoulders, massaging them gently while he peppers your neck with kisses. You giggle, still drunk of post-orgasmic hormones.
âYou did so good, my love,â he praises. Your hands cup his face so he can look at you.
âI love you, Spencer. I missed you so much,â you declare as you lean in to kiss his lips. Spencer reciprocates immediately. This kiss is sweet, not rushed, but takes your breath away as all Spencerâs kisses do.
âI love you, too,â he mumbles on your lips. âAnd it was torture being away from you for so many days. But Iâm here right now; Iâm not going anywhere.â
âGood, because tonight Iâm not done with you yet.â
With the whimper that escapes Spencerâs lips and the twitch of his cock still inside of you, itâs clear he knows exactly how the night will go from here.

I'm really curious about how your fountains hold up to running water over time. Does the glaze protect the ceramic? Do you only use distilled water? Or is it expected that they'll wear through use given long enough? Cuz, uh, you said something about wanting people to read their own ideas and experiences into your work, and now I'm thinking about a jagged sword wound that only grows larger but nevertheless more smooth over time...
I work in ceramic clay, fired to temperatures between 2200-2380 degrees F. Like common household dishes, this material holds up incredibly well against water. It goes through a process called vitrification, which makes it very waterproof, and is even more protected by glazes. Assuming the water in the sculptures is not freezing inside them, the time it would take to noticeably wear down the clay (at the rate water would be flowing through pieces of this size) will likely not happen within our lifetimes; the pumps that power the fountains will die and have to be replaced long before the water has any impact on the ceramic. The sword, mere iron, will rust to dust before water wears the first channel into the sculpture.
Ceramic is an incredibly strong, long-lasting material. If it's not shattered, it can endure for thousands of years, especially when fired to high temperatures, as these pieces are. Some of the oldest pottery pieces are over 20,000 years old, and while they are broken, they are remarkably un-worn. This is the Venus of DolnĂ VÄstonice, estimated age between 31,000â27,000 years old, made in the paleolithic era. It was fired at low temperatures. It's so intact that a child's fingerprint, left on the clay before it was fired, was able to be detected on its surface.


The sculptures I make will likely outlive me. My work must speak for itself because there is every chance it will be speaking long after I am silent. If they do not break, they might outlive everyone who ever knew my name; if they are discarded in the right conditions, they might outlive this age, this language, this civilization, and be found thousands and thousands of years from now, still whole enough to be understood.

#I dont think thats a likely outcome really#but it is POSSIBLE#which is wild to think about#ceramic is really really strong

Kinktober Day 3 - Oviposition ft Dan Heng (Honkai Star Rail)
Soooooooo.... this got out of hand WHEEZE as it always does when it involves dragon eggs. I'm-.... I'm just hopeless atp. Buckle up I'm about to ignore canon and pull a lot of made up shit from thin air for the sake of horny, lmaoooo. Lovingly dedicated to @moraxsthrone
This is how Tang Tang was made//HIT
At first, you arenât sure if you heard correctly.Â
Dan Heng says nothing but pointedly avoids your gaze with a healthy blush on his cheeks.
âDid you say, uh⊠maybe I misheard but-â You start.
âEggs.â Dan Heng repeats. âDragon eggs, much smaller, of course, but they⊠could be viableâŠâ
â... Eggs.â You say with a blink.Â
Dan Heng sighs. âYes.â And turns around to stare and interact with a few screens. âAccording to some ancient records it seems, those who have fully realized their potential as draconic Vidhyadara and manifest the dragon-like characteristics and behaviors, could, in theory, be able to pass on genes and reproduce like our reptile counterparts.ïżœïżœÂ
He is still not looking at you. Scrolling mindlessly through windows of text and opening and closing tabs. Heâs nervous, you know it.Â
âChildren.â You blurt.
âYes, I⊠itâs understandable if you have reservations. There is time to consider, I donât want you to feel obligated to anything orâŠâ
Thereâs a bit of hope in his voice, your heart warms up and flutters. Children. Itâs been such an accepted impossibility in your relationship. Youâve entertained the idea of adoption someday. Now there could be a chance?
You just never imagined it would involve getting railed and apparently pumped full of-
You inhale, close your eyes, and decide to speak before you think too much about it. âAlright, but you have a lot to explain.âÂ
------------------
And so, he explains. In excruciating detail.Â
Dan Heng seems to be pondering aloud just as much as he is trying to explain the whole process. All an educated guess, though, as he puts it. Youâre working with estimations and are not sure how to feel about that but heâs put an incredible amount of research into it all and that, at least, soothes you.
Over the years youâve seen Dan Hang in many different ways and dealt with your fair share of⊠interesting Vidyadhara traits. Mates? Good. Funky dragon anatomy? Very good. Being protective and territorial over you? Yes. But eggs⊠will definitely be new.Â
Your back hits the mattress and you shiver nervously, only in your underwear. Dan Heng kisses you softly, his hand cupping your cheek. Like this his eyes have an almost ethereal glow and his long dark hair is unbound falling down his back. Teal horns crown his head, and though they arenât new you canât help but be amazed by them every time.
âHow do you feel? Are you sure about this?â He asks tenderly.Â
Youâre trying hard not to think too much about your previous discussions, sneaking a glance at his underwear out of the corner of your eye, or more accurately, at the large bulge in it.Â
You lick your lips nervously and nod âYeah⊠yeah, sure.âÂ
He sighs and smooths a hand along your shoulder. âIf you have changed your mind-â
âNo, no! I havenât I promise I just⊠Iâm nervous, thereâs a lot to consider andâŠâ You stare at him for a moment and remember, he is walking this path with you, just as lost and nervous. âI love you.â You smile reassuringly. âI love you so much. I want this.â
His breath comes out in a woosh and he leans forward again to kiss you.Â
Itâs passionate, demanding, his tongue tangles with yours and explores your mouth and you groan, your body melting under him, hands roaming each otherâs bodies. You see his teal dragon tail manifesting, swaying about excitedly before curling around your ankle possessively.    Â
He massages your breast, pinching a nipple between his fingers to bring it to a stiff peak, you whine and arch your back, he takes the chance to make short work of your bra and toss it somewhere along the dark room before your arms curl around his neck once more to pull him down into another kiss.
His hips buck into yours and he moans. Even through the fabric you can already tell this time something is different.Â
And honestly you canât wait.Â
Your fingers hook at the edge of his underwear, teasing, and start to pull down, Dan Heng groans and helps you discard his last piece of clothing, your panties quickly joining after and this is it. You stare.
Not just his gorgeous, thick cock youâve come to love so much but two. Two.
One is relatively normal, his shape and girth familiar despite the clear draconic hue from his dark uncut tip and soft ridges. The other slightly larger, with a pointier tip, not as strange as Dan Heng had made it out to be. The Vidyadhara had been all shy and hesitant about it, both out of embarrassment and perhaps because he was afraid it might scare you off.Â
Instead, desire pools between your legs. Oh, how you want.
âA-Alright, so first I should-!!â Any other words are lost in a strangled moan as you reach out and wrap your hand around the unfamiliar length. Itâs hot in your palm, thick and firm. Dan Heng hisses as you tentatively jerk it a bit, squeezing around the tip, itâs spade-shaped and neatly tapered, perfect for reaching deep and pressing on just the right spots.Â
Or so you assume, wonât know until you try.
He bucks into your hand with a grunt and you stare fascinated at the leaking tip, before either of you can process it, you dark forward and lap at it. âHng!â He tosses his head back and his hand flies to grip at your hair.Â
It tastes salty, slightly more viscous and you canât get enough of it, you gingerly kiss at the tip and mouth at it before closing your lips around the crown, itâs thick in your mouth, your hand teasing the rest of it.Â
You stare up at Dan Heng, his eyes shut tight, brow furrowed and face flushed all the way to the tips of his pointy ears, heâs tense and shivering, clearly holding back from rutting into the wet warmth of your throat.Â
So, you attempt to take him deeper, moaning for good measure so the vibrations drive him insane, and youâre rewarded with more pleasured noises that make your pussy clench.
âMy love⊠w-wait-â He gasps, you run your tongue along the underside of his length. âFuck-!â Ohhh heâs losing his composure, his grip on your hair tightening. When your other hand curls around his unattended cock, thumb swirling at the tip, he snaps. âEnough.â
You pull off with a wet pop, licking your lips and catching your breath.Â
Dan Heng pushes you back with a hand and you follow easily, back hitting the mattress and spreading your legs eagerly for him to slot in. He reaches for a pillow and places it under your hips, raising the slightly, his tail now curls around your thigh.Â
Your stares cross, love and lust mixing.Â
âAre you ready?â He asks, his thumb rubbing over your entrance, finding you dripping wet.Â
âYes, Aeons, yesâŠâ
He leans down to kiss you again, tender this time, thereâs a sense of intimacy that warms you. How you love this man, this dragon. The way he dotes over you, the way he breathes in your scent and kisses you and holds you close, tender.Â
He sinks two fingers inside you and you whimper into the kiss. He works you open slowly, reverent, pulling in and out, stretching them a bit and adding a third. Youâre squirming, desperate and worked up. Nails dragging on his back and shoulders. âDan Heng pleaseâŠâÂ
He kisses at your neck, nips the skin there with his fangs. âBe patient, I donât want to hurt you.â
âYou wonât. Please, just put it in. Breed me.âÂ
He stops, you hear a little growl, ragged breath on your collarbone, and suddenly the fingers are gone. You barely have time to miss them when that thick pointy cockhead is pressing against you.Â
Then it sinks in, the glide slow and gentle with Dan Hengâs careful movements. Â
And oh, oh- you feel him stretch you. Thick and long and so, so hot. It spears you open in the most delicious way, rubbing at your insides as he pulls out ever so slightly before fucking in deeper with slow rolls of his hips.
You toss your head back and moan. You feel so full, deliciously complete. The draconic cock settling deep inside as Dan Heng bottoms out, his balls flush against your taint and the second cock dribbling precum everywhere on your thigh and navel. Â
You take a moment or two to settle, both of you, and then he starts moving. Dan Heng pulls back and rolls into you languidly, slow and deep, testing the waters.Â
âSo good for me⊠so warm and⊠thigh-!â He murmurs against your skin, pressing kisses anywhere he can reach. You keen, arching off the mattress and meeting his every thrust.
The air is thick and heavy, he presses as close as he can against you, your legs lock behind his back as he gradually speeds up. Your thoughts are fuzzy, blissed-out. The room is a cacophony of moans and whimpers and the sound of skin on skin.Â
âI need- please- Dan Heng-!!â
The drag of his cock sets you alight, every nerve stimulated, pleasure building and buildingâŠ
âIâm closeâ He rasps out. Youâre about to tell him to come deep inside as he always does and then you remember.
âOh.â
Dan Hengâs grip tightens in the sheets, his thrusts slow to a crawl and you suddenly feel a subtle bulge pressing against your hole. âT-thatâs-â You say breathlessly.Â
An egg.
He presses his forehead against yours and rolls his hips a little more insistent, trying to ease it in âCareful nowâŠrelax for me.âÂ
Youâre trying but the pressure is intense and youâre already so full of thick cock. How can you take more? You whimper.
âIâm-â
âYou can do it.â
A dragon egg, a little dragon baby. A tiny piece of you and him joining to create something wonderful. This is why youâre doing this.Â
âAlmost thereâ His voice is a soothing balm, con contradictory to the way he ruts into you, pushing your limits. But the way his teal eyes almost glow, pupils pulled to slits, flushed and panting but so determined, staring at you with so much love. You bite your lip and cant your hips, muffling your cries as his cock slips deeper with every thrust.Â
It feels like an eternity when the ovipositor slips back all the way inside, and you cry out.
Dan Hengâs thumb traces your clit and while he canât really pull out, he fucks into you with a nice deep grind.
âDan Heng-!â You whisper, nothing more than a debauched breathless mess. âDan Heng, Dan Heng, Dan HengâŠâ
The coil in your gut snaps and you come with a scream, tears springing to your eyes and your walls fluttering around his length, easing the egg deep inside you. He fucks a few more thrusts into you and then makes a noise you never heard from him before, a sort of choked growl.
Then, he stills.
You spend a few moments catching your breath and Dan Heng nuzzles into you, kissing away your tears as you lie a full, overstimulated, flushed mess.Â
âBear with me just a little longer.â He pants, pulling back a a little to hover over you. You groan, having almost forgotten about this particular step and the promise of his other cock, the one more familiar to you.Â
He eases the ovipositor out of you slowly. The egg vaguely feeling heavy and round in your womb. You canât think straight as Dan Heng shifts against you, his other cock resting against your entrance before easily sinking in, smaller than the first, bottoming out immediately.Â
You sigh.
âI⊠I wonât last long.â He admits.
âBreed me.â You repeat. âOur egg will take.â
It seems like the right incentive as he starts fucking into you in a frenzied pace, pressing and pulling at your insides. You sob and squirm, uselessly trying to match his rhythm. He growls, groans and tips over surprisingly quickly, filling you up with sticky cum.Â
Your body sags, spent, aching, full, and so utterly satisfied. He stays lodged in deep and doesnât move. You both take a moment to come down from the intense high.Â
Dan Heng slides a hand along your tummy, smoothing the skin there and feeling the very small subtle bulge there. âMine. All mine⊠both of you.â He claims. Â
You place your hand on his and smile weakly.
He finally pulls out, making you groan at the emptiness, and maneuvers you both onto your sides, spooning you. He brushes at your hair and kisses the back of your neck, whispering sweet nothings âYou did so well. I love you.â His hand rests on the soft curve of your stomach. The barest signs of a bump that could be easily missed. âRest.âÂ
You sigh deeply, content. âLove you tooâŠâ Comes out slightly slurred. And so, you rest.

______________________________________________________________
TWIN RUNES - FAQ
What exactly is this AU about? Twin Runes is essentially a comedic crossover AU between the universes of Deltarune and Undertale. No fancy nicnacs. Just the characters being their chaotic selves. But there might be some darkness lurking up ahead... ____________________
When is the next comic? The comic updates most Sundays at 6:30 PM Central European Time. ____________________
Why is this AU called Twin Runes? The name is more or less a play on the typical naming format of most AU's by featuring the "Runes" part. There are no literal Twin Runes. The whole name is more of a stand in for Undertale and Deltarune as parallel worlds. Hence the "Twin" part. ____________________
When does Twin Runes take place? This AU takes place between a hypothetical Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of Deltarune. On the Undertale side of things, it takes place post neutral route just as Frisk was about to deliver Undyne's letter to Alphys.

How many pages are there going to be? The script for this comic estimates that the comic is going to be 137 pages long (if I don't make any major changes). ____________________
What software do you use to make your art/the comic? I use Clip Studio Paint. ____________________
Is the Player a thing in this AU? The Player(s) lost control over both human children as soon as Frisk entered the world of Deltarune. Essentially, the reader takes on the role of the Player. You have no influence on the outcome of the story anymore. All you can do is watch. Both Kris and Frisk refer to the Player as "It" and "the THING". ____________________
Is there going to be a Weird Route? Due to the lack of Player, all choices made by Kris are now their own. How to engage in battle all depends on Kris, and not the Player. Because of that, there are NO DIFFERENT ROUTES. There is only one route and that one is based on Kris' choices. Because of the lack of save points, there is no "what-if" scenario. ____________________
When Chapter 3 and 4 are released, will it affect the story? Any chapters after Chapter 3 won't affect the story in the grand scheme of things. Twin Runes created a new timeline so to speak. UPDATE: We are nearing the final arc of the story. The script has been long completed and is set in stone. Even with Chapter 3 and 4's release there is no way for me to incorporate anything from Chapter 3 (read the rest of the FAQ) into the story without making a mess of things. Yes, that also includes your favorite character Pluey. UPDATE OF THE UPDATE: Since Twin Runes was created before Chapters 3 and 4, there are bound to be inconsistencies going forward!Luckily, this is an AU, and I designed it to be purposefully off in some parts because I knew I would inevitably be wrong!!!! So no. There won't be any references to Chapter 3 in the comic going forward (since the story takes place between a hypothetical Chapter 3 and 4 [so not the canon ones]) And it won't be moved downwards the timeline. ____________________
How old are the characters in this story? Frisk appears to be around 9 years old. Kris thinks they're 14. (Both Frisk and Kris don't know their actual age.) Chara died when they were around 10-11. Susie is around 15-16 (she was held back once) Ralsei appears to be the same age as Kris. ____________________
What's up with Kris' and Frisk's hair? The red bits of their hair is more or less a representation of their souls. That in turn is also why Chara doesn't have that feature. They are soulless. It's a stylistic choice. ____________________
What's that thing on Kris' chest? It's a scar they got from tearing out their soul.
And why do they have weird lines all over their body? Both Kris and Frisk's anatomy resemble that of ball-jointed dolls. They appear just as markings across their bodies. Think of them as elaborate birthmarks. Kris and Frisk are still made of flesh and blood, but are in fact hypermobile. The reason as to why they do is still a little secret :) People here like to refer to these markings as "puppet limbs". You can get a better look at them and the scar in this artwork
Why does Kris have braces? This is why:
Are old art, comics and asks from your blog part of Twin Runes? Unless stated otherwise, all art that was made prior to the start of the comic are not canon to Twin Runes. That mainly includes the old asks. __________________
Why is Dark World Frisk green? Frisk changes their main sweater colors with Kris when they enter the Dark World.

Could other ghosts see Chara? (pre Darkner transformation) No, only Frisk and Kris were able to see Chara. ____________________
IS KRIS NOW FRISK'S COUNTERPART OR CHARA'S???? :) ____________________
Where are Jevil and Spamton? Are they in Castle Town? The Fun Gang have already fought these two in the previous chapters and added them into their inventory. Outside of that little dream sequence, neither will be making an appearance. ____________________
Is anyone from Undertale Yellow gonna make an apperance? Outside of a tiny cameo from Clover (that has no greater bearing on the story) no one from Undertale Yellow is going to make an appearance. ____________________
How would the characters from Deltarune react if they met their Undertale counterpart? The universe would implode if that happens. ____________________
But what abou- The. Universe. Would. Implode. Next question! ____________________
How did you come up with the idea of Twin Runes? Twin Runes is an offshoot of a separate script I started in 2023. The concept of this script is similar to Twin Runes, but turned on its head. The funny moments in that script made me continue what now is the start of Twin Runes. I pretty much just wanted to see if I am actually capable of drawing a comic to begin with. So... in a way Twin Runes is my first attempt at a comic ever. If I ever finish Twin Runes, then I know I can tackle turning that mammoth project of a script into a comic too. In the grand scheme of things these two projects are sister series. They have A LOT in common and even share similar plot elements. When Twin Runes is over you will automatically also know certain mysteries of The Other Script. ____________________
What is The Other Script? As of this moment I call The Other Script: "Lost in the In-Between". At its core it's an inverse of Twin Runes. I.e. Kris falling into the underground and being aided by Frisk on their quest to return home. The story is considerably more grounded than Twin Runes and so are the characters. Though they do have their silly moments from time to time. The overall mood of that script is a lot darker in nature and it's a 200+ page passion project of mine. The script OF The Other Script is not open to the public. Only a select few people have access to it for proof reading. ____________________
Is there x ship in Twin Runes? The focus of this story is not on shipping. If it's in the game it will very likely be mentioned or brought up, but that's about it. ____________________
What pronouns do the human children use in this story? THEY/THEM FOR ALL OF THEM WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONS. That is what they are in this story. This is not open to interpretation. Please respect that. If this is a dealbreaker for you, then unfortunately this story is not for you.
___________________________________________________________
ABOUT FAN CONTENT
Am I allowed to make fanart? ABSOLUTELY! You are very welcome to make fanart if you feel like it. Please let me know if you do by tagging me, so I can share it with everyone to see so that you get the appreciation you deserve! ____________________ Can I use the funny faces you draw for memes or for stuff like memes or for profile pictures? That's what they're here for! ____________________
Am I allowed to translate the comic and post the translation to a different site? I get asked very often by people who want to translate my comic in different languages, so it's quite hard for me to keep up with who asked for permission or not. This is why the comic is free to translate if you like. All I ask is that you are well-versed in the language you're translating it into and to please link the original work with the proper credit given. ------------------------
Am I allowed to dub your comic? See the point above. You are free to dub the comic if you like. The same simple rules apply. With ONE important rule you NEED to adhere to... -----------------------
If I create content off your comic (dubbing, translations, etc...), am I allowed to monetize it? NO. Everything about Twin Runes is NON-PROFIT. Meaning that I don't make any money off this comic either, as it is purely fan content. If I see people making money off my work, I WILL use my right to ask you to remove it.
______________________________________________________________
ABOUT ASKS
Asks will open after a new comic has been released. I will queue the questions from Monday until Friday. Once the queue is full, asks will close. Your questions will then be answered over the course of the week.
Try not to submit multiple asks. If necessary, just keep everything in one post.
Keep in mind that I receive AL LOT of asks. There is no guarantee that every question will be answered.
Questions containing spoilers will not be answered on principle. Wouldn't be as fun if the surprise was ruined, right?
Before leaving an ask (mostly for everyone who's new), please make sure to read the FAQ section above. A lot of times your question might have been answered already.
I love memes and dumb jokes as much as the next guy, but try not to spam
It probably goes without saying, but please stay civil. I want to give everyone the respect they deserve, and naturally like to be treated the same way.
Please be mindful about drawing requests. It is understandable if you're eager to see a certain character drawn in my style, but I do not like to be bombarded by requests. The more it happens, the less likely I am to do it. Be kind and ask nicely.
I don't take unsolicited comic ideas.
Don't use other people's posts that I reblogged to ask me questions! It has happened before and I do not wish to see this!
This isn't an ask blog. The comic has a script that will not deviate. Reader interaction with the characters won't be possible due to the overall "no Player" subplot.
Please do not ask me to put your characters into the story. Like I said, the script is already finished and I'm quite happy with it. Your characters are in better hands with yourself and your own stories. Please have respect for mine.
______________________________________________________________
ABOUT SUBMISSIONS
The submission box is for FANART ONLY!
It is meant for those who do not want to submit their fanart to their own blogs, in case they feel scared or intimidated to do so.
ASKS AND REQUESTS THAT ARE SUBMITTED THIS WAY WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.
Please wait until the ask box opens. You can read more on how asks work in the section above.
______________________________________________________________
REFERENCE SHEETS
The following are ref sheets of characters that don't have established Dark World forms yet (as of writing this comic). The list will be updated as soon as a new character enters the Dark World. Here you will also find references of characters that might appear as surprise cameos, or maybe even completely new faces...

Clichés and Canapés (Teaser)

Genre: best friends to lovers; fake dating; billionaire au
Pairing: Seokjin x Reader (f)
Rating/Genre: M (18+); smut
Summary: After twenty years of friendship, youâd think you were used to Seokjinâs proposals by now. In the past heâs forced you to participate in skydiving, skinny dipping, and even staging a rescue from the local shelter. Seokjin has always had big ideas but this time, even he may have gone too far. Granted, break-ups are stressful, and Seokjinâs latest one up was bad. Really bad. As in, they-ended-things-in-December-and-now-sheâs-dating-his-brother bad.
It almost makes sense then, when Seokjin asks you to come home with him for his parents' party. Almost makes sense when he says his family assumed you were dating, and he didn't correct them. What doesnât make sense is the longer you fake things, the more you find yourself wondering if this was real all along.
[ Part of the In Bloom Collaboration ]
Estimated WC: 37K
Teaser WC: 2K
Posting Date: April 20th, 2025
Content Creator: thank you @kithtaehyung for the BEST BANNER!
[ Author's Note: this scene is not the first scene in the story; for sake of brevity, I thought this would be best for a teaser. I hope you enjoy, and am so excited to post again! ]
Your heart pounds in the silence, unnaturally loud. Placing your phone on the table, you stare at the wallpaper â a photo of the city skyline you took last fall. Before that it was a photo of you and Seokjin. Your screensaver has always been you and Seokjin, something you never questioned until last year. Last summer, to be precise.
âGet ahold of yourself,â you mutter.
Taking a deep breath, your fingers hover over his name. You press call before you can second-guess yourself, Seokjinâs name filling the screen. He answers almost immediately.
âHello?â
You squeeze your eyes shut. Seokjin sounds out of breath, deeper than you remember. How unfair would it be for him to experience a second puberty burst. The first was torture enough for you as a teenager. Overnight, Seokjin transformed from your nerdy best friend to a soft-spoken, hilarious man the entire school wanted.
â⊠Y/N?â
Opening your eyes, you scoop up your phone and take it off speaker. âOh, hey â yeah, itâs me.â
He chuckles. âI figured when I saw your name calling.â
âYou never know.â Aimless, you pick at the lint of your apron. âMaybe I was in a tragic accident, and someone found my phone at the scene of the crime.â
âDoes that mean Iâm your emergency contact, Y/N? Iâm touched.â
Your cheeks heat since yes, youâre not sure you ever changed that. What you say though, is, âDonât get cocky. I have all my phone contacts listed as emergency contacts. I like to hedge my bets.â
He laughs, louder this time. âHey, no judgement here. Pretty sure youâre still mine.â
Your fingers still on your apron. You shouldnât be his contact â not after everything. Harshly, you stamp out the hope rising within you. Seokjinâs lack of foresight and planning shouldnât be taken as anything but.
âRight.â You pause. âSorry â is this a bad time? I should have texted back, but Iâm at work, and thought itâd be easier to callâŠâ
âYouâre at work? Y/N, Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to ââ
âIâm on a break, donât worry about it.â
A long pause. At last, Seokjin sighs and the knot in your chest tightens. You can count on one hand the number of times youâve seen him upset. Once when your parents were getting divorced and you ignored his texts for a week. Another, when he and his high school girlfriend broke up their first semester of college. Another when his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer (currently in remission). And then once more, when your ex cheated on you with your supposed best friend. Seokjin drove across state lines all night to be on your campus by morning.
This might be the fifth time.
âYeah.â Seokjin exhales. âYou thought this conversation would be better in person, and as always, you were right, Y/N.â
The way he says your name sparks wistful familiarity. It also reminds you of a darkened hallway, whiskey on Seokjinâs breath and â you stop the memory from continuing.
âWhat happened?â you press. âI just⊠damn, Seokjin. The last time I saw you and Emilia, the two of you seemed so, um⊠soâŠâ
âCoupled?â
âI was going to say nauseating, but yeah.â
Seokjin barks out a laugh. âWay to kick a guy when heâs down, Y/N.â
âSorry,â you say, but your lips twitch. âAlthough⊠I donât mean to be rude, but⊠you donât sound down? You sound⊠surprisingly chipper for a man who was cuckolded.â
The truth of this statement resonates within you. Seokjin sounded tired when he answered, but everything since then has felt almost normal. Almost â because the elephant in the room has not gotten smaller.
The last time you spoke face-to-face was December.
âWhoa, whoa â hang on,â he sputters. âWho said anything about cuckolding?â
âWere you not? Le cuckold, as the French say?â
âWait.â Seokjin sounds amused. âTo be clear, which party is the cuckold? The guy who cheats or the guy who gets cheated on? Also â why is there no name for the woman in this scenario?â
âOh, there are plenty of names for the woman. Theyâre just not as fun, and heavily drenched in misogyny.â
âRight, right. The patriarchy, etc. â but seriously, Emilia didnât cheat on me. Or she says she didnât, and Iâm inclined to agree.â He pauses. âI think.â
âYou think?â
âI do believe her. But⊠well, even if she didnât technically cheat⊠even if we broke up in December, then they waited a respectable period of time and then they started dating â it still feels weird. Like, was she into him the entire time we dated? Was my brother into her?â
âNo good answers come from that line of questioning,â you say grimly.
âI know.â Seokjin groans, and you imagine him dragging a hand down his face. âYouâre right, but I canât stop picturing it. And they didnât.â
âThey didnât what?â
âWait a respectable amount of time,â he mutters. âEmilia and I broke up in December, and they told me at the end of March they were dating. Meaning they started dating before and only deemed it serious enough to tell me in March.â
âOh.â
âYeah. Hence the thinking.â
âAbout the timeframe, or the general weirdness?â you prompt.
In the back of your mind, you can't help wondering what made Seokjin reach out. According to what he just said, Seokjin has known about Jaesuk and Emilia since March. Granted, everything about this is strange and it's valid to vent, but you haven't spoken to Seokjin in months. And even before the break-up, it's been months since you spoke about anything real.
âBoth,â Seokjin says in answer to your question.
âNot⊠anything else?â
âWhat else would I be thinking about, Y/N?â
âOh, I donât know,â you huff, twisting the thread of your apron. âAre you still in love with Emilia? Itâs hard to be around an ex normally, but thisâŠâ Trailing off, you shake your head.
âWhat? No. I mean, yeah â itâs not fun to be around them. But no,â Seokjin says, decisive. âIâm not in love with her.â
Your lips tighten, unsure what to believe. Still, you decide not to push him. Years of experience have taught you if Seokjin isnât ready to talk about something, you wonât get a peep out of him. If it were you, though, five months isnât enough to fall out of love.
âOkay,â is all you say. Glancing at the staff door, you watch Jimin hand the customer their drink. Your break will be over soon, one way or another.
âIâm⊠actually glad you called me, Y/N.â
The hesitancy in his voice draws you back. âYou are?â
âYeah.â Seokjin clears his throat, a nervous tic. âJaesuk called me yesterday. You know how my parentsâ anniversary is in May?â
âOf course.â
Obviously, you know. Seokjinâs parents are strange for many reasons, not least of which is their genuine love for one another. They are also â you can say this after many years working in consulting â the most normal rich people youâve ever encountered. Most of their wealth is donated each year, with a small stipend (still an insane amount) granted to each family member.
The weekend of their anniversary is the exception to this rule. Seokjinâs parents go all out, spending an entire week at their lake house, hosting lavish parties cumulating in the main event on the weekend. Growing up, you attended as Seokjinâs plus one. This all changed when Seokjin got his first girlfriend, although you still attended for a few years as the date of his sister, Seohyun.
âYeah.â Seokjin again clears his throat. âSo, uh, my brother called and⊠at first, he and Emilia werenât going to come. They decided to skip this year because of the obvious.â
âThe cuckoldom, yes.â
âI said the obvious,â Seokjin says drily. âBut anyways. Well.â He exhales, and you remember again that between the two of you, Seokjin is more mild-mannered. âJaesuk called and wanted to know if it would be okay with me if they came together. Emiliaâs parents were invited, and they thought it might be weird for them to attend without herâŠâ
Your jaw has dropped again. âHow would that be weirder than Emilia attending with your brother?â
âI donât know,â he groans, and from the way his voice muffles, you imagine him laying his head on his desk. Seokjin usually grades papers in the afternoon.
His apartment is gigantic, a three-story brownstone located in Hyde Park with a view of Lake Michigan. His study (yes, he has a study) always reminded you of the library in Beauty and the Beast. Perhaps a bit smaller, with less fiction on the walls.
Dimly, it registers that Seokjinâs parents invited the Astors. Granted, Emiliaâs parents run in the same circle, but the invitation feels odd. Odd â and cruel, to invite Seokjinâs ex-slash-Jaesukâs-current girlfriend.
What a mess.
Numbly, you shake your head. âThey want you to spend an entire week together? Alone? In the middle of the wilderness?â
âMichigan isnât exactly Siberia, Y/N.â
âBut⊠you, your brother, and the woman youâve both slept with â in one house?â
âI probably wouldnât put it like that, but sure.â
âYou⊠said no, right?â
A long, awkward pause follows.
Your voice rises. âRight?â you demand, gripping the phone tighter.
âNo.â Seokjinâs voice muffles again. âI told them I wasnât sure, but Iâd let them know.â
âSeokjin! You absolutely cannot spend an entire week with them alone.â
âAha!â
âWhat?â you ask, blinking at his note of triumph.
âYouâre absolutely right. I canât spend the week with them⊠alone.â
Your brows furrow. âSo⊠you agree with me?â
âNo, Y/N,â Seokjin repeats. âI canât spend the week with them alone. But⊠with someone elseâŠâ
A beat passes.
âAre you dating someone new?â you ask, bewildered. âIs that it? Youâre going to bring some poor, unsuspecting person to your Shakespearean family drama?â
âNot a poor, unsuspecting person, noâŠâ
Suspicion slowly dawns. âSeokjinâŠâ
âYes?â
âYou canât be serious.â
His throat clears. âI was thinking⊠maybe... you could join.â
The silence stretches for so long, Seokjin seems to grow concerned. âY/N?â His voice dims, like he's checking the call hadnât dropped. âAre you still there?â
âYeah,â you croak. âPhysically, here. Mentally, I think something has cracked, because I just heard you ask me something insane.â
âSee!â Seokjin exclaims. âThis is why I need you there. Youâre so good at making things less awkward. And my family loves you â their attention would all be on you, and not on how weird and insane my life is.â
Groaning out loud, you sink further into the chair. This is a bad idea. Truly abysmal, butâŠ
You already know youâll say yes. Saying no to Seokjin has never really been an option.
Back in college, you joined his family trips all the time. In those days, your dad wasnât taking care of himself, your mom had run off with her new boyfriend, and you had nowhere to go during summer holidays. Frequently, the Kimâs referred to you as their second daughter â but that was ages ago.
Seokjin didnât even call you when he and Emilia broke up.
âSeokjin,â you sigh. âWhy are you asking me this?â
A long pause. âI just told you why.â
âNo. I mean⊠I didnât even know you were single.â You hesitate, then barrel on. âThis is the first time weâve talked on the phone since â god, I donât even know. Last year?â
Seokjinâs ensuing silence is damning. An unspoken question hovers between you: Has anything changed since the last time we saw each other?
"Iâm⊠sorry, Y/N." He hesitates. "I know⊠I should have reached out to you sooner. I just⊠just couldnât.â
Your lips purse, staring at the door. Your break must be done, but luckily, Jimin has given you space to process. As much as he pretends to be needy, his ability to read the room is remarkable.
âUgh,â you groan, head tipping back. Your eyes close. âLet me think about it.â
âWait â really?â Seokjin blurts. âThank you, Y/N! You wonât regret this â I swear.â
âI havenât agreed to it yet!â
âRight, sure. Of course,â he hastens, attempting to sound mollified.
Your lips twitch. âI have to get back to my shift.â
âYes. Make that money.â
âEh.â
âMake⊠that minimum wage plus tips?â
âCloser,â you sigh, pushing yourself to stand. âIâll text you later, okay?â
âOkay. And Y/N?â
You hover near the door. âYeah?â
Seokjin pauses. âThere are a lot of logical reasons why itâd be great if you came, but honestly?â His voice thickens slightly. âI just⊠want you there.â
Thereâs an ache in your chest you wish could say was a stranger. In truth though, the feeling is exactly why you should say no.
You never had a great sense of self-preservation, though. Instead, find yourself sayingâ
âYes.â

masterlist
summary: a new face enters your life and you're blissfully unaware of the impact it will have on you.
cw: sunshine!eddie x grumpy!reader, like really grumpy, some angst
wc: 6.2k
Muffled voices penetrate through your bedroom door. Standing on the other side, you have your ear pressed to the wood to try and make out the cutting words coming from the other side. It was a fruitless effort, but you tried all the same.
âI just canât do this anymore, Tony.â Your motherâs voice sounds closer and you dare to crack the door open a bit. Just enough that you can see her walking from the kitchen to the front door from the second floor, a suitcase in her hand. Opening the door further, you peer out into the hallway, taking a few steps until you reach the top of the stairs.
âPlease, Rebecca, just talk to me!â Your dadâs voice sounds hoarse, cracking with the weight of his sorrow. âJust tell me what I can do to fix this!â
âThereâs nothing to fix. I have to move on, and I canât do that trapped here.â
âMom?â
Their heads snap in your direction. You didnât know what was going on, your 8 year old mind too young to understand what was transpiring in front of you. All you knew was your dad was fully crying, something youâd never seen him do before.
Your mother looks at you, taking in a deep breath before shaking her head. She takes the bag in her hands and suddenly opens the front door. Light floods the house from a car that you donât recognize parked in your driveway. Everything is still for a moment. Your mom turns to look at you one last time before wordlessly pushing open the storm door and exiting into the night.
âRebecca!â Your dad yells out, rushing out the door behind her. You make a run down the stairs and stop at the door, watching through the glass as your dad follows your mom around the car. She lifts open the trunk and puts the suitcase inside, your dad frantically pleading with her as she does. But her face is unmoving, solid as stone as she rounds the car again and enters the passenger seat of the unknown vehicle.
Your dad bangs on the door, last ditch effort to make your mom change her mind. Hot tears rolled down your own cheeks as the reality of the situation dawned on you. Your mom was leaving.
And she wasnât coming back.
Soft sounds of the radio from the office behind you filled your work space with a slight irritation. You wished that your dad would at least change the station to something other than country, even if it was just to break up the monotony. The thought of closing his office door crossed your mind, but you knew he would just protest and open it back up again.
Huffing out a sigh, your eyes scan your list of things to do today. You still needed to call about some parts that were going to be delivered to try and get an estimate on time, but the guy that answered the phone for the company was always a dick to you so you were putting that off. The break room needed to be cleaned, but that was something that you would save for the end of the shift. Going down the list you noticed where it was written that an interview was supposed to have come in at 11. You tilt your head looking at the clock to see that itâs a quarter til 1 and no one has shown up, so decide to scratch that off your list. A real shame too, since you guys were in need of the help.
The ring of the door bell catches your attention. Looking up from your paper, your eyes land on a young man, probably around your age, walking into the lobby. Heâs dressed in a black button down shirt and nice slacks that sharply contrasted with the leather and denim jacket combo he was sporting. From what you can tell he has long locks that are currently pulled back into a low ponytail behind his head. His dress shoes clacked against the linoleum floor as he approached you at the desk.
âWelcome to Hawkins Auto Body, how can I help you?â You ask in your best customer service voice.
âYeah, hi, Iâm Eddie. I have an interview at 1 with Tony.â The smell of his cheap cologne permeates your senses and elicits the start of a migraine behind your eye. Looking back down at your list you donât see another interview for 1 oâclock, just the one that was for 11 that you had crossed out.
âI donât have an interview for that time. We were supposed to have one at 11 am. Could that have been when you were supposed to show?â
Eddie shifts in his spot as he straightens up. His brows furrow, eyes darting around as if he was looking for the answer to your question. His hands start to pat the pockets of his jacket, reaching inside and pulling out a small ripped piece of paper. âI had 1 written down on the paper.â Thereâs a slight panic in his voice. âMaybe I made a mistake, I know Iâm at the right place.âÂ
âWell, unfortunately the boss is very busy today, so he wonât be able to see you.â You were lying, knowing your dad he was probably reading a muscle car magazine as his desk. But the lack of showing up on time wasnât something you were going to look past. If he couldnât even show up for his interview on time how could you expect him to show up to work.
âReally? Are you sure? Maybe I could reschedule at a later time--â
âHey, whatâs going on out here?â You dadâs chipper voice called from behind you, making you cringe.
âHey, Tony,â you say, preferring to refer to your dad by his name while at work, âI think this guy was your 11 oâclock. He wrote down the time wrong and--â
âOh, hey! Eddie, right?â Your dad asks, stepping out of his office with a hand out and ready. Eddie takes your dadâs hand in his and shakes it enthusiastically.
âYes, listen, Iâm so sorry I got the times mixed up. If you need to I would totally be able to reschedule for another day.â
âNo, youâre fine,â your dad says, irking you. âCome on back and we can talk. Do you have your resume?â
âOh, I left if out in my car. Let me go grab it.â Eddie says, taking a step back before running out the door. Canât even bring in his resume? Thereâs no way this guy would get the job if it was you in charge.Â
But you knew your dad was a different story. He has a soft spot in him that you gave up a long time ago. But you had to develop a tough exterior at such a young age that you didnât know anything else.
âYou should have turned him away,â you said as you watched Eddie through the glass doors. Your dad huffed a laugh and leaned against the office door frame.
âI knew youâd say something like that,â he says shaking his head.
âTony, heâs a total chump. Couldnât be bothered to show up on time. Isnât even ready for the interview. I bet those arenât even his clothes that heâs wearing.â
âYeah, but heâs young and willing to work. Gareth told me that heâs been working on cars since he was 12, and he has reliable transportation.â
You look at the hunk of metal that was this guys van and scoffed. âThat hardly looks reliable.â
âBut it works,â you dad said, nodding to the ancient van, âAnd that shows he knows what heâs doing.â
âYouâve already decided to hire him, havenât you?â
âWell, lets see how this interview goes and Iâll let you know.â You roll your eyes. Knowing how your dad is he probably made the decision when he had the phone interview with him. A heavy sigh leaves your lips and you watch as Eddie bounds back through the door with a papers in his hand.
âSorry itâs not much,â he says as he hands the papers to your dad. âThis will be my first real job, so I donât have much experience.â
Great, another tick off your list as to why you would turn this guy down. Even if he had some experience with cars, it surely wasnât enough that your dad wouldnât still have to train him. At least the shop did well enough that your dad wouldnât be hurting if he had to pay this guy while heâs being trained.
âNot to worry, letâs go talk in my office,â your dad says, patting Eddie on the arm and leading the way inside. He closes the door behind you, and you can hear the sound of the radio start to lower until it canât be heard anymore. At least youâd get a little reprieve from that.
The clock ticked by during the interview. Only the sound of the shop could be heard through the glass paneling that separated you from the bay. After about 30 minutes of nothing from your dad, you start to wonder what the hell they could be talking about thatâs taking so long. If you had to guess, it was probably car talk.
Or if you were to make a guess based on the details Eddieâs jacket maybe he got your dad on the topic of music, which he could go on about forever. Heâs seen just about every band heâs ever wanted to see and then some. Youâd been to a fair share of your own concerts because of him, whether it was due to a lack of babysitter or because he wanted to genuinely share the experience with you didnât matter. It was still some of the best times of your life getting to share those sweaty moments that left your voice fried the next day with him.
A loud, boisterous laugh came from the office and you couldnât help but roll your eyes. Your dad must have told one of his infamous jokes that always left him on the brink of pissing himself. You wondered if Eddie was genuinely laughing or was doing it out of pity for your dad and the sake of getting the job. Either way, you shuffled a stack of part invoices and stood up from your desk.
Approaching the door, you didnât even bother to knock as you turned the nob, pushing the door open on the little laughing fit the two of them were having. âHaving fun in here?â you say dryly, unamused by them. Eddie turns to look at you, wiping at his eyes as he lets of the last bit of chuckles left in him. Your dad straightens up in his chair to catch his breath before turning more towards you.
âWhatâs up, sweetie?â He says through giggles. Calling you by that name in front of a stranger must mean your dad was really in a relaxed mood. He wasnât always the most professional, but you made it very clear with him from day one that you wanted to be treated just like any other employee at the shop while working together. It kind of irked you that he would say it in front of anyone, but especially this guy, who was looking at you like he already owned the joint.
âSir, you have some invoices here that need to be approved by the end of the day. Assuming this interview is almost over,â you said looking at Eddie, âI figured Iâd drop these off to you so you could get started on them. Iâd like to file them by 5.â
Your dad leaned over the desk, his hand outstretched to take them from you. You sighed, stepping more into the small office and leaning around Eddie to hand them over to him. You felt his shoulder against your side and you let out a half-hearted sorry for the intrusion into his space.Â
ââSâall good,â he said softly, a small smile on his face that annoyed you.
âIâll get to these right away,â your dad said, motioning the papers towards you. You nodded and turned to leave the room.
âShould I close the door?â You ask, hand on the knob.
âNo, no, I think Eddie and I are just about done here. Iâve kept him with me for far too long,â your father says as he goes to stand. Eddie rises from his seat as well, extending his hand out for your dad to take.
âNonsense,â Eddie says as your dad shakes his hand, âWas a pleasure talking to ya. Hopefully we can shoot the shit again some time?â
âMaybe we can get a few words in on Monday if that works for you?â
âWait, really?â Eddie all but jumps for joy at your dadâs offer. Of course.
âIf everything we talked about today sounded good for you, Iâd love to see ya first thing Monday morning.â
âOh my god, yes, sir. Thank you so much. Seriously, Iâll be the best worker youâve ever had.â
You huffed a laugh at that, deciding this was the best time to make your exit, lest you get sick on the floor from all the sugary excitement. Turning on your heel, you made your way back to your desk and plopped down in your rolly chair. Your dad and Eddie followed behind you not long after, still chatting about something you had no interest in tuning into.
Eddie rounds the front of your desk and taps his hand lightly on the marble counter top just above you. You look up at him with a blank stare, almost blinding you with the pure sunshine rays of excitement that were beaming off of him.
âSee ya on Monday, coworker,â he said with a snap that turned into a finger gun. You didnât respond, simply staring at him hoping he would get the hint to leave. He pounds his fist against the countertop a couple times for good measure before turning to face the door. Watching him as he left, you noticed for the first time that the patch on the back of his jacket was one from Dioâs Last in Line album. You gave a small hmpf. At least he had good taste in music.
SPACE
âStill sleepy there, kiddo?â Your dad says as he pulls into the shop. It was barely dawn as the two of you rolled into the parking lot, the coffee in your hand barely doing much to keep you alert at these early hours. You wished you could call yourself a morning person with how often you woke up at 5:30 am to get ready for the day. But Mondayâs were always hard on you after getting to sleep in on the weekend.
âWhat else is new?â You say, punctuated by another yawn that hit you hard enough it gave you shivers down your body. Your dad let out a laugh as he shifted the car into park, pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and lighting one up. You followed suit, grabbing one from your own pack and stealing his lighter to spark it up. The smooth menthol wasnât enough to wake you, but it kept your mouth busy enough that you wouldnât fall asleep in the passenger seat.
The two of you sat in a sweet silence for the duration of your smoke, watching the sun rise from the rear view mirror. The only sounds to be heard was the low hum of the local morning talk show that played on the carâs radio.Â
That was until a loud booming sound could be heard in the distance. A boom that started to grow louder with each passing second. The two of you looked at each other as if asking the same question to one another before turning around and looking out the back window. You couldnât see where it was coming from at first, until a small set of headlights started to show from down the road, approaching at a speed way faster than you knew this streets limit was. As it came into view, you whispered a barely audible ânoâ as the loud vehicle turned into the parking lot, now illuminated by the morning sun.
It was Eddie and his shitty van.
You thought surely the music would turn down once he made his way into the parking lot, but the loud sounds of what you could now make out as Metallica due to the sheer volume of the music coming from his van were persistent.
âWhat the fuck?â You say, looking over to your dad, who had a glint in his eye that you didnât like. âDad, no, heâs going to wake up the whole neighborhood.â You say sternly. But your dad doesnât respond verbally. Instead he undoes his seat belt and hops out of the car, leaving it on for you to sit in so you donât have to endure the harsh December cold.
You watch as he walks over to the van and knocks on the window and instantly hear the volume of the van drop in decibels as the window comes down. A plume of smoke comes barreling out and you watch as Eddieâs hand reaches out to swat the smoke away from your dadâs face. You take another hit of your cigarette as your dad talks to Eddie from his window.Â
After a few moments, you watch as your dad rounds the van, it rocking slightly once he gets to the other side. Did your dad just get in this guys van? Surely not.
Or surely yes, because as the familiar cars of your other workers began to pull into the lot, you didnât see your dad come from the other side of the van. Irritation that shouldnât be had on such an early Monday morning started to bubble in you, and if it werenât so cold you would have gotten out and asked your dad what the hell he was doing a long time ago.
 Checking the dash, you see itâs already opening time, so you cut the engine and lock the car, braving the cold as you walk past the van and to the door. The guys are already waiting for you as you approach the door, huddled around each other as they watch you unlock the door.
âMorning, maâam,â Bob, your most senior member, says as he pushes past you to get inside. The others greet you as well as they make make their way in. As they file inside, the sound of car doors closing gets your attention. You look to see your dad and Eddie walking towards you, hands in their pockets to keep them warm from the cold.
âI was wondering when youâd show up,â you say as they approach. Not waiting for them as you walk inside, letting the door close behind you, you make your way to the light switches and begin flicking them on. The ones in the bayâs are already on as the guys get set up for the day, a couple cars already loaded up to be worked on first thing this morning.
Eddie and your dad eventually came in through the door, both of them laughing and having a grand old time.
âHey, do you mind showing Eddie where the time clock is?â Your dad asks as he fishes his keys from his jacket pocket to unlock his office.
âCanât you show him? Heâs already your best friend, apparently?â
âI have a call I need to get on with an important client. Just go ahead and show him around the shop for me, please?â He gives you those big, puppy dog eyes of his that honestly donât get to you at this point anymore. But for the sake of him begging, you sigh and put your hands on your hips.
âFine,â you say with a shrug. You motion for Eddie to follow you. âCome on, back this way.â
Leaving your desk, you walk around the hallway corner and to the break room. Pushing the door open, you prop it open with the metal wedge and walk inside. Flipping the lights on, you instantly walk to the coffee pot and push the button to get it warmed up. You turn to see Eddie waiting patiently for you by the doorway, his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face.
âOver here is the time clock,â you say, walking over to where the time punches for the week are sitting on the wall. âTheyâre in alphabetical order, so make sure you grab yours and not somebody elseâs.â You scan the tickets and find the new name card you added on Friday, pulling it from the slot. âJust stick it in here and itâll mark when you clocked in. If you ever have an issue with it, make sure you come to me right away so that we can get it fixed.â
Eddie walks over and plucks the card from your fingers, placing it into the slot and waiting for the click. Once it does, he pulls it out and places the card back into the slot you pulled it from. âSeems easy enough,â he says, looking at you with that smile still plastered on his face. It irked you to no end.
âGreat, make sure to do that when you get here every day. Itâs hard to pay you without it.â
Eddie starts to laugh, but youâre really not sure what about. Was it something you said? Was he making fun of you?
âWhat?â You say in a serious tone. But Eddie just waves his hands, his bangs flying as he shakes his head.
âNothing, donât worry about it,â he says. You blink at him, deciding it wasnât worth your time to pry for answers you didnât really care to know. Gesturing your hands around you, you let him know that you are in fact in the break room. Eddie nods, looking around, his eyes landing on the coffee pot.
âThe coffee is free, just make sure if you take the last of it to turn it off.â
âAwesome, Iâll definitely be needing that.â
âDo you know how to use it?â
âNot really. My uncle made me coffee this morning. I donât really drink it much.â
âIâll show you,â you say, walking over to the machine. Grabbing all the things you need, you walk him through the process of filling up the back with water, how to put the grounds in the filter, and which button to press to start it.
âThis seems more complicated than the time clock,â he says with a laugh.
You scoff, âOnce you do it a few times youâll get it. Or you can wait until someone else starts it. Thereâs usually a pot back here ready within the first half hour that weâre here.â Eddieâs head bounces with a nod. Still smiling. âWell, lets move on to the rest of the building,â you say as you walk past him.
As you exit the break room, you look both ways trying to decide where to go next. You suppose you can work from the back to the front, that way you can drop him off with Bob or Terry when youâre done. You break to the right, Eddie hot on your heels as you walk. âThose are the restrooms,â you say as you pass the two sets of doors with a water fountain in between them. âMake sure you clean up after yourself if you shit, because I sure as hell am not doing it.â
That gets a laugh out of Eddie. âAye, aye, captain,â he says with a salute.
âBack here is the stock room.â You turn the knob and open the door to the large storage room that resided in the back of the building. It was stocked to the brim with supplies like oil, parts, and other necessities that the shop kept on hand. Eddie looked around with wide eyes as he took everything in. âYouâll learn where everything is as time goes by. If you notice something is low in stock, come tell me as soon as possible so I can order more.â
âOkay, can do,â Eddie nods.Â
âBack out this way,â you say, walking over to another door that enters into the bay, âis the main work area. Make sure this door is locked at the end of the day.â As you walk out to the bay, you stop at a side door to the right. âThis is a door to go outside. You can smoke out there, eat lunch, whatever really. Just keep it propped open when youâre out there so you donât lock yourself out and have to come around the front. The boss tries to keep as much grease out of the lobby as possible.â You look down at his shoes and notice heâs wearing a pair of white reeboks. âDid you bring other shoes?â
âNo, are these not allowed?â Eddie asks, his smile finally turning into a frown.
âItâs not that theyâre not allowed, but theyâre going to go from white to black real quick if youâre not careful.â
âShit, I didnât think about that,â Eddie said, looking down at his shoes.
âAsk around, Iâm sure the guys could give you a recommendation where to get some good boots.â
Eddie looks up at you and, once again, smiles. âThanks, Iâll do that.â
âWhatever,â you say, pressing forward. You show him around the bay, where the tools are, and where everyoneâs lockers are to keep their things while they work. Eddie follows you wordlessly, just a step behind you the whole time. When he almost bumps into you as you stop, you have to turn to face him, putting hands on his arms and extending yours.
âSee this? Distance. Keep yours.â
âSorry,â he says, looking at your hands on his arms. You drop them quickly and turn back around, scanning the bay for Bob, who was bent over a cars engine.
âBob!â You call, getting the older manâs attention. He straightens up and looks your way, giving a slight wave.
âBob, this is Eddie, our new guy.â
âNice to meetcha, kiddo.â The corners of Bobs eyes wrinkle when he smiles, extending a greasy hand out to Eddie, one that he takes and shakes enthusiastically.
âLikewise, sir,â Eddie says, nodding to the man.
âDo you care to babysit for a while? Dad says he knows a lot about cars but might need some help for a few weeks.â
âSure thing,â Bob says like you knew he would. Bob was a talker, enjoyed the company of others. Youâd been caught up in his stories on more than one occasion, but youâd always tried to be polite with him since he was such a hard worker. âLetâs see what you can tell me about this gal right here.â Bob wraps an arm around Eddie and ushers him towards the car heâs working on.Â
Letting out a sigh of relief, free from your responsibility to the new guy, you make your way out of the bay and back into the front lobby to your desk. You scold yourself for not turning your computer on before giving Eddie the grand tour so that it couldâve booted up. Giving it time to start, you go through the days checklist that you left yourself over the weekend and get to work.
Lunch time couldnât roll around fast enough. Youâd barely made it half way through your list for the day, not expecting it to take you so long to get everything done. Too many phone calls with dick head old men and wives of clients who couldnât tell you what a fender was if it hit them in the head. The main website you use to order parts was down for half the morning, meaning there would be at least a half days delay on everything that was needed to work on the cars already in the shop.
And then there was the young mother who broke down with her baby that talked your ear off for the last hour while you tried desperately to get a hold of her husband for her. At least the baby was cute; babies being your bad mood kryptonite. She even let you hold her, which would have been fine if you hadnât caught a particular curly headed nuisance staring at you from the bay as you held them. But you just brushed it off, not giving that loser an ounce of your attention.
Plopping back down in your chair, you felt like all your energy had been zapped and it was barely past 11 am. Not a moment later your father pokes his head around the corner of his office.
âHey, letâs order pizza,â he says with a wide grin. Something must have gone well with a contractor given his good mood.
âWhatâs the occasion?â You ask, pulling out the paper for Surfer Boyâs Pizza from your desk drawer.Â
âI figured weâd treat the new guy,â he says, taking the paper from your grasp to look it over.Â
You groan, rolling your eyes. âI guess Iâm asking everyone what they want?â
âYouâre my girl,â he says, handing the paper back to you. You take it, grabbing a piece of paper and a pen before heading to the bay. The smell of fresh oil hits your nose, but itâs not something that bothers you anymore after working here for a few years now. You make your way around to the guys and get everyoneâs orders. Thankfully everyone was being easy, just wanting cheese or pepperoni.
You made your way over to where Bob and Eddie were working on the same car that bob was looking at earlier, but Eddie was no where to be seen. Bob was hunched over by the front, looking down at the ground where you saw a pair of white shoes sticking out from under the car.
âHey, Bob,â you say, grabbing the manâs attention.
âOh, hey, darlinâ. Whatâs up?â
âWeâre getting pizza. You good with cheese and pepperoni?â
âOh boy, that sounds good to me,â he says with a nod. He taps his foot against the white pair of sneakers and Eddieâs body comes rolling out from under the car, now clad in an oversized workers uniform.
âWhereâd you find that?â You ask, pointing at Eddie.
âThis is one of my spares from before I lost all that weight. I figured he could use it until his comes in.âÂ
âOh, yeah, that should be sometime this week. Make sure you wash that one and give it back to Bob when youâre done with it.âÂ
âYes, maâam,â Eddie says with a nod.
âNow, weâre getting pizza. Are you okay with cheese and pepperoni?â
âWow, really? Yeah that would be great. IâŠforgot my lunch, so I could definitely use it.â
âCool, well you guys were my last stop so Iâll go ahead and order it. Should be here in an hour or so.â
âPerfect,â Eddie says, giving you a thumbs up. You donât respond, turning on your heel and walking back through the bay to the lobby.
âOkay, I got everybodyâs orders,â you say as you walk into your fatherâs office. He looks up from his paperwork and smiles, reaching out to you. âYou donât want me to call?â You ask, handing the papers to him.
âNo, Iâm gonna pay for it myself, so Iâll order it.â He looks over the paper then speaks, âDo you know what Eddie asked for?â
âHe didnât say anything specific. Just said he was grateful to have it.â Your father nods, setting the papers down on his desk and picking up the phone. It struck you as odd that he was so interested in this new guy, but not enough to care to ask him about it. Maybe Eddie said something to him in their interview that struck something in your dad. He was already under a car on day one, so maybe you werenât giving him enough credit.
SPACE
Lunch arrived and you paged on the overhead for everyone to come and eat. You set the pizzaâs on the break room counter with the plates and two liters of pop. Your dad really splurged today, ordering way more food and drinks than what would be needed for the small shop. A few minutes later the guys began to roll into the break room, conversation flowing between them as they made their way to the pizza boxes.Â
You waited for everyone to get their food before grabbing some for yourself. Taking a few slices, you headed towards the door to go back to your desk before someone called your name.
âYouâre not eating with us?â Eddie said, standing behind you with a plate full.
âI have work to do,â you said simply.
âShe doesnât take breaks,â Tom calls from across the break room.
âYeah her dad has her slaving over that fancy computer all day,â Jerry adds, making the room erupt in laughter.
âYour dad?â Eddie asks looking at your curiously.Â
You sigh, not really wanting to tell the new guy that the boss is your dad on day one. âYeah, Tony is my dad,â you say, flatly. Eddieâs head bobs, a smile spreading on his face.
âThat makes sense. I thought it was weird you guys came together today. I thought maybe you were dating or something.â
The guys start laughing again and you cringe at Eddieâs words.
âWhatâs so funny?â You snap, and the laughter starts to die down.
âYou dating is whatâs funny,â Bob says taking a bite of his pizza.
âWhyâs that funny?â Eddie asks.
âThis girl hates love,â Bob says, gesturing towards you and you roll your eyes. It wasnât that you hated love, you just didnât believe in it. There was a time in your life that you might have thought it was real, but after the things youâve been through, youâd been convinced that love was all just a big scam. Something made up to sell jewelry and heart shaped boxed of chocolates.
âWhat? Really?â
âIâm just not into it. Now if youâll excuse me, I actually have important things to do.â And with that, you turn on your heel, leaving Eddie in the dust as you make your way back to your desk.
The end of the day wrapped up when the clock struck 6 pm. The garage doors to the bay closed for the night and you were cleaning up your desk, leaving a note to remember to call a potential client back first thing in the morning. Your dad stepped out of his office, closing the door behind him with the turn of a key as he locked it shut for the night.
âShould I grab the rest of the pizzaâs or are we leaving them for tomorrow?â You ask, grabbing your jacket and throwing it on.
âLeave them,â your dad says, tossing you his keys. You looked at him confused. âGo ahead and start the car, Iâll lock up.â
âOkaaaay,â you say shoving the keys in your pocket and rounding the front desk. You pushed the door open and felt the cold December breeze hitting the skin of your cheeks once again. You beelined it for the car and started it up, cranking the heat up in a futile attempt to make the warm air come out faster. Rolling the window down, you lit up a smoke and watched as the guys made their way to their cars.Â
You noticed your dad didnât come out with everyone else and that made you curious. Normally if he wanted to stay over he wouldnât have you go and start the car. But you also noticed Eddieâs car was still in the lot as well.
A few minutes later, the front door finally opened and your dad and Eddie walked out of the shop. You squinted your eyes, trying to make sure what you were seeing was correct. Eddie was standing with two boxes of pizza in his hands as your dad locked the door. What the hell? You thought he was leaving the pizzas for tomorrow. You waited to see if your dad took the pizza boxes back, but as Eddie diverged from your dadâs side to get in his van, you noticed he still had the pizza boxes in his hands.
âAlright, letâs go,â you dad says as he slides in his seat, bringing his hands to the air vents to warm them up.
âWhat was that?â You ask, looking at him incredulously.
âWhat was what?â He says with a laugh, giving you a look back.
âYou gave him those pizzas.â
âItâs his first day! I wanted him to feel welcomed with us. Donât worry about it.â
âAre you going to take him to a steak dinner next?â You say as you buckle yourself in.
âItâs not like that,â you dad assures you before buckling himself in.
âWhatever.â
