I imagine that along with being wheelchair bound for the foreseeable future, you may or may not be covering up ALL of your skin to hide the teeth marks bc Iâm certain that werehog Shadow BITES and you cannot convince me otherwise. But if you did go out without covering them, itâs going to look like you got mauled by a beast (not too far off the mark đ) and would just draw too much attention.
Shadow may be fine with that, but I feel that when it comes to werehog Shadow, itâs only going to irritate him. How dare you cover up his love marks?! How else is everyone supposed to know that youâve been claimed by him?!
I suspect if he canât change your mind, then heâll probably settle for looming menacingly behind you to deter any potential rivals from coming near you, at the very least. Anyone dumb enough to FAFOâŚI donât feel like I need to explain any further than werehog Shadow has all of Shadowâs power (maybe more?) and only half of his rational thinking and restraint at best.
Oh youâre for sure trying to make up some excuse as to why youâre wearing a sweater in 90 degree weather.
He tries to be âgentleâ when he bites but letâs face it in this state gentle means not tearing you limb from limb. Being his precious chew toy is probably the best outcome for both parties.
The only reason you and Shadow are out at all the next day is to buy a new mattress because Shadow tore it up trying not to claw you (which youâre probably grateful for) teeth you can survive but those claws might just call for a trip to the hospital.
Wherehog Shadow is such a guard dog (or should I say guard hog? lol ) when it comes to you. You have to reassure him that everyone that comes close to you is not an immediate threat you may have to bribe him with some kisses or maybe a chin scratch to get him to lighten up on security.
I canât stop laughing at the thought of some random dude walking up to you saying something along the lines of â hey babe why donât you ditch this freak and hang out with a real manâ (barf) only for you to nod at Shadow giving him the go ahead next thing you know heâs flying across the city like a shooting star.
Safe to say only fools try to mess with you when Wherehog Shadow is around.

Okay but genuine question : why is it that whenever tkk travel together, we deadass never hear about it like RADIO SILENCE NADA đ till they break the news to us one way or another. That private trip they did when jk cropped himself from the picture for tae's birthday (mom & dad dresses) or the luxury hotel after World Cup or even Hawaii like....etc etc...how come nobody stalks them or leak their locations / photos...??? Either stalkers cease to exist from the world or tkk take extra ultra mega precautions to not be seen not even once and if its the case why on earth they go to these extra lengths to hide if there's nothing to hide ?? Like why be soooo adamant about keeping the secrecy to this degree.
On the other hand, whenever jkjm travel, everybody and their mama suddenly know about it. The whole earth recognizes them and leaks their locations lmao this has to be intentional in some way. Either the marketing is doing its work to keep ppl on their toes to expect content, or they are just that careless cuz there is just nothing to hide or both.
If you really think about it, it really does make the most sense that if there is a couple hidden in bts, the odds of it being tkk are higher, waaaaay higher than any of the other pairs, jkjm included. The privacy and secrecy of it all are suspicious. It just makes more sense that if they are real couple, then they ought to go extra just to hide it and keep their trips to themselves.
I'm not going to complain about no one stalking Taekook and taking pics and video of them. I'm thrilled that they can travel and spend time together without that happening. I'm a Taekooker who gets annoyed when people post the Namsan pics because those were 100% taken without their consent first.
I have no doubts about Taekook being it and no other ship is even a possible concern for me. But I also want to make it clear I don't believe based on vibes or the privacy/secrecy surrounding them. That plays only a very minor role in my beliefs about them, in that it isn't a reason I started believing as much as it just made sense (like every other dot that has connected) that a queer couple would be way more cautious and protective of their privacy in general.
I believe because of the things my brain can't find a platonic explanation for. Like the intentionally hidden from official cams/big screen nape kiss, the matching Sweetheart shirts on the same day, or "To Find You" or "Oh No Oh Yes". The amount of time they spent together in solo era which was all outside of work obligations. The fact that even with spending all of that time together immediately before and after the Hawaii trip they still missed each other so much when Tae went to shoot his photobook Jungkook flew to Hawaii to be with him, that shows me how much they mean to each other.
I don't expect anything from the company where Taekook is concerned. I don't even want it. I want that to be theirs and theirs alone. I truly do not need anything else from them other than what they choose to share.

A little Drabble from forever ago that I donât know if Iâll ever add too. I had plans and ideas but never made it very far. Itâs heartbreaking- I apologize in advance for that.
He sat on the front porch watching the sun sink lower behind the houses across the street. Everything was bathed in golden light, the sky painted in soft colors. It was a beautiful sight, a beautiful moment. Or it would have been if the moment belonged to someone else. Someone whoâs heart hadnât been shattered into a million tiny pieces. Tiny pieces that were cutting into his chest in an effort to escape the pain. Tiny shards digging into his ribs and creating new wounds with each breath he took.
Youâll be okay kiddo. His dad had told him on his way out the door mere hours ago. The only comfort heâd offered since heâd come home in tears the night before. He knew his dad meant well but he was aware that his dad was more relieved by the events than anything else. Derek was to old. Derek had a record. Derek was a werewolf. His dad had plenty of reasons to celebrate them no longer being together. He thankfully kept his celebration to himself.
Want me to shoot him for you? Allison had been so sincere in her offer he couldnât help but laugh through his tears when sheâd stopped by earlier. She was the only one who hadnât told him heâd be fine, that heâd get over it. She offered him her shoulder to cry on and her bow to make him feel better. If only that would make him feel better.
He didnât want to hurt Derek. Didnât want to cause any pain to him despite how easily heâd shattered his heart without a second thought. He knew why heâd done it, why he felt like he had to let go of what they had. Stiles just didnât agree with him. He didnât agree that he was safer not being attached to the alpha.
It felt like the safest place he could be was with Derek. By the alphas side, in his bed. How could he not be safe there? Sitting here felt like he was just waiting for someone to come along and see him all alone. To see him without the pack around him and to take that as an invitation to use him. It wouldnât be the first time the human of the pack had been used to draw out the pack.
He tried to not feel bitter at those thoughts. Hell, he tried to not have those thoughts at all. He couldnât help it though. Couldnât help but feel bitter at being the only human in the pack. Sure Allison was human too but she was a hunter. Sheâd been trained on how to deal with the supernatural, how to be as strong as them. She knew how to survive and how to fight. All he was good for was his research skills.
Would anyone even miss him if he just packed up and left? Would they notice he was gone? How long would it take for them to notice? Would they notice before they needed him to research something?
Those thoughts werenât helping him any. Then again, maybe they were? Maybe he really would be better off just packing and taking off? Maybe the pack would be better without him to weigh them down. Lydia could handle the research they needed. She often helped him do it wasnât like she didnât know what she was doing.
But his dad. His dad would surely miss him. Heâd be alright though. He worked so much and was rarely around anymore as it was. He sure wouldnât miss Stiles nagging him about eating better. And Melissa would check in on him. He didnât know what was going on there but something was going on. So his dad would be okay. Heâd call him and plan visits. Heâd know he was okay and heâd miss him but it wasnât like college wasnât going to take him away anyways. This was just earlier than that. Earlier than theyâd planned.
With his mind made up he stood from the porch, heading inside the dark house. The house was always dark and quiet. It wouldnât change if he stayed or if he left. What would change when he left? Would anything even change? Would anyone even notice?

Normally this was the point where Kyleigh would either just let Magna rot in that prison all on her own or throw hands with the way she spoke to her. But after all they had been through in the short time they had been together the half lycan decided to just let it slip right by. She wasn't exactly in the best mood either, already way too hot and sweaty and pissed the hell off that she was in this situation. If only she had just found a car or house to stay in to get away from the storms! But no, she saw the prison and thought it would be the perfect spot! What a fucking jackass she was. Ignoring the rather harsh retort that played in her mind thanks to the wolf, Kyleigh took a deep breath and centered herself.
"That's what I'm trying to put together. As long as we have an exit we have something to shoot for. Right now we just need a way to get there."
She tried to say it as calmly as she could, though now that she got a second glance at those monitors she could see why it looked like it was impossible to do. There were more of those freaks in there than she originally thought, and opening up very heavy doors was a sure bet to luring them too close for comfort. "Yes, a distraction would be amazing! Maybe try to herd them all into a couple of the rooms and shut them in there." That was one way to go about it, but how would they do that from where they were now? Kyleigh knew how to get the electrical working, she didn't know what each specific button did.
Magna's words caused the half lycan to glance up at the ceiling. For fuck's sake not those damn vents again! However it seemed as if they were the safest route at the moment. Thinking over the other woman's words Kyleigh began to move around the room in search for a map. There had to be one somewhere in this place. In case repairs were needed, or someone did get up there for some other stupid reason. She opened up all the desk drawers and pushed shit around. Mostly papers, pens, the typical office supply things.
"There has to be a master map or something in this prison, one of the offices. If they had maintenance it might be there. Or the warden's place. You ever get sent there?"
If Magna knew where that was and how to get there they could try that, but they would have to go on foot and face whatever might come their way.
"All that's in here are files and reports, nothing that we can really use. I don't want to go back up in those things without some sort of direction to head in. We could always just get up there and whenever we get to one of the vents look down and see where we are. But we could be there all day so I don't think we should do thatâŚ"
Before she went into a full blown, panic ridden rant, Kyleigh stopped herself and let out a long breath. That would only lead to the both of them getting killed and she was not doing that. "Alright, just keep looking. Any kind of map will do, but if we have to we'll just have to take a guess for which direction to go in. I don't know about you but I don't want to die in here and be trapped forever as one of those things."
What seemed like an unbearable weight upon Magna's shoulders seemed to lessen upon hearing that the other woman didn't blame her. Not that it erased the guilt, but now it no longer felt as if it was taking over her senses. Being the only one alive had done things to her. Had her question whether her survival had been some cruel cosmic joke. Why had she, of all people, survived? And had it really been luck? Every time she pondered how she'd made it this far, she came to the conclusion that she must've gotten lucky. But maybe it was punishment that Magna would live long enough just to see the worst of it. Maybe the ones that had been the first ones to go had never been the unlucky ones. Never having to see the cruelty among the prisoners, the diminishing numbers of survivors and the increasing masses of the undead.
Maybe she would go out in the worst moment because of all the shit she's done.
Her heart threatened to explode as she caught sight of a few sickos tearing into the flesh of a body in one of the bathrooms, the movement of a leg being the only indicator that this person was still alive. Shit.
Had she caused this? Had she lured that survivor into a death trap because she'd triggered the alarm?
Magna didn't even have the capacity to really think this through, the thought quickly fading from her mind, but the feeling of anxiety remaining in her chest. Her attention quickly shifted to Kyleigh, pointing to the visitor room.
"We need a plan", she shot back, sharper than she intended to, but more with an edge of desperation rather than anger directed towards the woman. "Opening that electronic door is gonna make noise." She knew it did. She's heard them opening a few times, back when the main power was still on. "I don't want those dead fuckers blocking the way. Maybe we can cover the noise. Broadcast a message to another room, clear the path."
The sound of Magna's deep sigh was drowned out by the shrill alarm, as she braced herself to sneak through the vents again. Hopefully for the last time. She hoped there wouldn't be a fan again - she guessed that fan from earlier had been there to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning from the back-up generator. "If we could only figure out into which damn direction to crawl," Magna commented, expression as surly as her tone. "I'd kill so many of them for a goddamn map."

the world when you're with me

synopsis: you seek out sylus for comfort after realizing you were wrong about him.
tags: comfort, fluff, implied avoidant!reader learns to trust sylus, implied avoidant!reader clings to sylus, sylus takes care of reader from afar, sylus has mephisto and the twins follow reader but wbk pairing: sylus x reader, reader is mostly mc word count: 802
a/n: is this the peak of literature? no. did i need to write it after the day i had? yes. did i need to post it today? no, because iâm trying to stagger my posts more, but here we are. anyway 4k caleb pwp coming tomorrowÂ

For the first few weeks after youâd infiltrated the N109 Zone, youâd avoided Sylus Qin like the plague.Â
After being scared out of your wits by the first version of him you'd metâthe cold, unavailable criminal mastermind whoâd forced you to shoot him within 5 minutes of knowing one otherâyou were unashamedly wary of working with him again.Â
But Sylusâs intel was unrivaled. More and more often, you found yourself visiting the N109 Zone to meet with him, eventually not even bothering to book a place to stay. There was always a guest room at the Onychinus base prepped for your arrival.
As you spent more time with Sylus, heâd noticeably changed his approach to interacting with you. Rather than forcing you to resonate with him, heâd explained to you how his Evol worked, letting you aim his hands at some training dummies to test it out yourself. Instead of unceremoniously shutting you out when he was tired, heâd drag his robe-and-slippers-clad self to sit beside you on the sofa, answering your cautious questions by practically giving away all his secrets.Â
His shift in attitude hadn't stopped there. Sylus had clearly been using that endearingly incorrigible crow to keep tabs on you, but for the strangest reasons.Â
Whenever you had a bad day at work, some building-wide maintenance emergency would magically appear, forcing your team to cease operations for the rest of the day. Heâd text you a couple hours after your early dismissal, saying he was in the city and inviting you on an evening joyride to clear your head. Â
The day after youâd lugged a case of water up the stairs to your apartment, having to pause a couple times to catch your breath, you came home to see your fridge mysteriously stocked with groceries. The only traces left behind were the masked twin figures you spotted scurrying away from your window.Â
When a new phone showed up at your doorstep one dayâyou never even told him youâd shattered your screen, you thoughtâyouâd decided that Sylus wasnât as bad as youâd once assumed. Not anywhere near as bad, in fact. He was thoughtful, generous, and helped you without taking credit or forcing you to ask for it. Youâd never had that before.
Which is why, somehow, you find yourself standing in the doorway of his armory, studying him silently as he polishes an antique-looking gun.
When he notices you, Sylus looks up, raising a delicately arched eyebrow. âSomething wrong, kitten?â he drawls, subtly checking your body for injuries.Â
Mind numb from your absolutely dreadful day, you stay silent while Sylus looks at you expectantly, his hands forgetting their earlier task.Â
But for the next minute, you remain hovering in the doorway. You expect him to get annoyedâyou almost want him to, so you have an excuse to go back to relying only on yourselfâbut all you see on Sylusâs face is patience.
When you start shuffling toward him, that patience mixes with a glimmer of anticipation that he visibly tries to suppress. You need him to be calm right nowâan anchor, he thinks. If he loses his composure, if he startles you with his excitement at your approach, you might bolt at any moment.Â
Sometime during his inner struggle, you reach him. Meekly, you stand before his chair, briefly opening your mouth before closing it.Â
âWhat is it, sweetie?â he asks softly. âTell me, and we can figure it out together. Iâll personally track down whoever seems to have stolen your words from you.â
At his offer, you break, collapsing into his lap. His large, warm hands immediately encircle your waist, and you bury your face into his neck, inhaling his leather and spice cologne.Â
âAw,â he coos in his baritone voice, rocking you slowly in his embrace. When he lifts your head an inch, you resist, letting out a soft whine. Gently, he guides your head back to his chest, his quickening heartbeat thumping in your ears and grounding you in the the moment.Â
After several moments of silence, your deep, shuddering breaths the only interruptions, Sylus murmurs into your ear. âWhen I noticed you never ask for help, I was worried the world may not be treating as well as it should. You must be very tired, hmm?â he asks, rubbing his chin against your hair.Â
Tightening your arms around him, you sit there for a while, his steady breaths seeming to mend a decades-long rift in your heart.
The next time Sylus tries to lift your head, you let him. He pulls your face from his neck so he can look into your eyes, hoping his gaze conveys his sincerity, before pressing a tender kiss to your forehead.Â
âYou donât need the world when youâre with me,â he promises. âIâll treat you better than it ever could.â

Where do you fall on the "killing vs. not killing bad guys" argument? I know the debate is complicated and there's a lot of various factors for and against either side, so I wanna hear your take on things.
An intensely complicated subject that tends to get oversimplified on both sides of the equation. I generally don't like to take a "side" on this because I feel like the idea of there being "sides" on killing misses the point.
Unless you're talking about cold-blooded execution of a subdued foe, killing generally isn't a choice you get to make. It's a consequence of the choice you already made to use violence.
While arguments about killing villains exist beyond superhero comics, this is a particular way that they tend to happen in superhero media. Superhero stories depict their heroes as, effectively, SWAT teams. The Green Goblin is about to blow up Newark, so Spider-Man breaks in and smashes his face against a brick wall until he passes out.
Part of the fantasy is the idea that nonlethal violence is easy and reliable. After Spider-Man reduces the Green Goblin's HP to 0, a Windows menu pops up and says "Would you like to finish him?" Spider-Man boldly clicks "No" after every fight like the hero he is.
It allows fans to enjoy brutal takedowns of bad guys without having to reckon with the reality that when Batman brought an entire floor down on top of that guy's head, he probably didn't wake up in a hospital bed. Batman can throw a guy off a third story balcony and watch his knees crack as he hits the ground and the story assures you that he's fine. He'll just need a little stay in the hospital.
But realistically speaking, all of these guys would have body counts. Not because they were aggressively trying to murder, but because you don't really get the choice. It is extremely easy to kill someone and surprisingly difficult to nonlethally incapacitate them. The line between how much blunt-force cranial trauma will knock someone unconscious versus how much will kill them is extremely blurry and it moves.
There are less lethal ways of incapacitating someone than others. Obviously, tasing someone has a lower mortality rate than shooting them with bullets. But the only surefire way to uphold a Code of No-Killing is to not use violence as your problem-solving tool in the first place. And there's not a lot of de-escalation training going around the Avengers Mansion.
So it always just feels kind of self-delusional when superheroes brag about not killing people but their primary mode of problem-solving is to shoot a guy in the face with an exploding arrow or something. You're gonna kill people if you're Batmanning. Sorry, that's just the reality of violence. When you throw a guy off a roof, you don't get to choose what physics is going to do to that sack of meat and bone as it hits the ground.
Now, on the opposite end of the spectrum, should superheroes kill people on purpose? Uh. No. I don't want cops extrajudicially murdering whoever they don't like, and I don't want Batman to do it either. Due process exists for a reason.
Superheroes should not try to kill people. But they are going to kill people sometimes, because their hammer is violence and their stories are just excuses to pit them against nails.
"But the Joker always breaks out of prison." Yeah, but he also always comes back to life. If you can nitpick about genre conventions then I can too. Hell, often times you can't even redeem a villain without the next writer unwriting it and making them a bad guy again. At a metafictional level, there is rarely any way to truly do away with a popular villain.
But. Y'know. Let's talk about heroes who aren't fucking copaganda. In the broader fictional sense, should stories end with the hero killing the villain or shouldn't they?
This, again, has no simple Yes or No answer. It depends heavily on the themes being explored and what the villain is meant to represent.
We need to talk about the "demise" of the villain, which can be a literal death or it can be many other things. The primary function of the villain is to be wrong about something. To oppose the hero, who is right about something.
The villain holds bad ideas, bad beliefs, bad ideology. The hero may start out holding good ideas, or they may be something that the hero comes to over the course of the story. But by the time these two meet in the third act climax, they are meant to embody the two faces of the story's central thesis. Regarding whatever this story is trying to talk about, the hero is right and the villain is wrong.
Whatever form it takes, whether literal death or not, the demise of the villain is the final statement on their incorrect or even toxic beliefs. Which often does take the form of literal death because it's easy to write a comeuppance that way.
Luke Skywalker believes that there is love in his father's heart for him, and Emperor Palpatine is confident that Anakin is truly lost. But Luke's love for his family wins out and destroys Palpatine.
Scar is selfish, cowardly, and disloyal. Simba returns out of a sense of responsibility and loyalty to his people, coming clean to them and accepting his place among them. Scar tries to sell out the hyenas to save his own skin, as well as stabbing Simba in the back. For his treachery, the hyenas rip him to pieces; He is devoured by the very loyalties that he selfishly betrayed.
Obadiah Stane, the embodiment of war profiteering and the military-industrial complex, is literally consumed by the clean energy project that Tony wants to move the company towards instead.
Sauron underestimates the power of the small and meager folk, and believes wholeheartedly in Great Men of History. And so when Great Man Aragorn marches to his gates, he allows himself to become convinced that this is his true nemesis, his true rival, the threat he must face. This is the glorious battle that will decide the fate of Middle-Earth. And so he turns his eye away from the common folk that will be his undoing.
The villain's flaws, their toxic ideology, the things that make them the villain, are what their demise is supposed to be about. They can be consumed by their failings or undone by the hero's virtues, but either way, in a well-executed demise, a closing statement on the story's thesis is made.
But a well-executed demise doesn't necessarily have to be fatal, either. Like I've said, it can be things other than a literal demise. Sometimes it absolutely should.
In Civil War, Zemo is driven by an obsession for revenge. His homicidal retaliatory bloodthirst is a toxin that he infects both T'Challa and Tony with over the course of the story. Tony succumbs and has to be defeated with force, though Steve still demonstrates his strength of character by sparing Tony's life in the end even when the madness of the battle threatens to grip him too.
But it's T'Challa who delivers Zemo's demise. Not by killing him, but by making the choice to rise above vengeance. T'Challa breaks the shackles of Zemo's infectious vengeance and chooses mercy. And it's in this moment that Zemo's feelings, his cruelty, are opposed and vanquished by T'Challa's heroic virtue.
Firelord Ozai believes in the Social Darwinist ideology of Might Makes Right. He leads a culture where disputes are settled with deathmatches and believes it is his right to blanket the world in fire because he has the power to do so, and no one can stop him. Aang, by contrast, is a pacifist at heart because those are the values he was raised in; Values of a culture that Ozai exterminated, whose very last vestiges exist only in Aang's heart.
Ozai would kill Ozai and Azula, who often gets left out of this conversation. Because theirs is a culture where righteousness stands hand-in-hand with brute strength. Where who is right is decided by who is left standing when the dust settles, and who is a pile of ash. Aang defeats Ozai; By Ozai's belief system, Aang is stronger thus Aang is righteous and it is his Conqueror's Right to execute Ozai where he stands.
But Aang doesn't just beat Ozai; He rejects Ozai's way of life. He renounces the belief system of the imperialist colonizer and holds true to the belief system of a people they destroyed. While a simultaneous outcome plays out between Katara and Azula, as Katara similarly chooses mercy once she's obtained a position of power and control over Azula.
Special note also to Zuko who demonstrates that he actually cares more about protecting people than about winning his Glorious Deathmatch of Imperialist Honor. Which also serves as a rejection of Azula's beliefs that relationships are founded on fear and control. Zuko, too, rejects the belief systems of Ozai and Azula and warrants recognition. Ozai would never have taken a hit like that for Azula. Azula would never take a hit like that for Ty Lee.
It's this mercy that breaks the Hundred-Year War, destroying not the perpetrators of it but the very principles on which it is founded. This philosophical annihilation of Azula and Ozai's very understanding of strength and power is their villainous "demise", and weighs far more than just cutting their heads off and calling it a day ever could.
There is no correct answer to whether or not heroes should kill. What matters most is how the demise the writer chooses for the villain reflects upon the story's central ideas and thesis.

âI really donât think this is a good idea,â
To be fair, Yelena Belova had every right to be apprehensive of your idea. It had only been a few months since The New Avengers had been formally established, and the team itself was still finding its groove working together. Standing up to Valentina and saving Bob from himself? That was one thing. Receiving missions from Valentinaâs team, having to travel the globe in order to save innocent civilians? That was a whole other can of worms that theyâd popped open without thinking of the consequences.
The amount of missions the team was needed on was slowly ramping up, going from just two a month to now almost four in just the last month. The entire team wasnât always needed for certain mission: Bucky, Yelena and yourself had been sent on solo missions, while Alexei had tagged along with John and Ava on others (much to their dismay at times). There was always one agreed-upon rule: Bob was staying in the Watchtower.
Itâs not that the team didnât want Bob with them, because everyone did. They knew he wanted to feel wanted and feel useful, that he didnât want to simply do the dishes after dinner every night and read through every book that had accumulated in his room. The problem came down to control. When they had fully explained what had happened that day in New York to him, the Void and how he became his worst fears, the small sense of control he seemed to have over his powers had slipped. His worst fear had quickly become losing control once again and hurting his team, hurting the people of the city.
You, though, had another idea.
âI think itâs time, Lena,â you tried to reason with her that night in the kitchen, the pair of you working on the load of dirty dishes together. Yelena cleaned while you dried them and put them away, working in tandem just as you had for many years within the Red Room, memories you both wanted to forget. âBob is capable of controlling it, I know he is, he just needs help. Just let me train him, show him some basics and help him find that sense of control again.â
âAnd if he loses control? If the Void takes over his mind again?â
âIâm not scared of him,â
Yelena scoffed, shooting a smirk toward her oldest friend before focusing back on the dishes before them, hoping to finish them sooner rather than later.
âJust because you have a little soft spot for Bob doesnât mean your idea is the best idea,â
âIâm not asking any of you to help me,â you shot back, bumping your hip against hers with a pointed look for her comment about your soft spot for Bob. âJust trust that I can do it. I believe in Bob, and thatâs enough for me to try.â
Yelena paused at the sink, quietly watching as you placed the dishes up into the cabinet where they typically went, and let out a sigh, shaking her head.
âFine, but itâs on you if it goes wrong,â
âCome on, whatâs the worst that could happen?â
Convincing Yelena was the part that you knew would be easy. Youâd grown up just houses down from her, Natasha and Alexei, kept there under the watchful eye of your own Red Room spy posing as your mother. Youâd escaped America with them, been trained through the Red Room and escaped mind control with Yelena by your side, and brought down Dreykov once and for all with her, too. There werenât many people Yelena trusted in the world, but you were one of the very few. You knew it might take slight convincing, but sheâd ultimately trust your judgement in the end.
Now, convincing Bob was a whole other story, one you knew wouldnât be easy.
âNo uh, no way,â you sighed, watching Bob pace his bedroom and wring his hands together. He glanced at you for just a second before shaking his hand again. âUsing my powers means being the Sentry and I canât be the Sentry withoutâŚyou knowâŚâ
âAnd itâs been months since thereâs been any incident, Bob,â you tried to explain to him softly. Without giving him a chance to pull away you reached forward, silently taking his tense hands in your own and squeezing them. âLook, youâre holding my hands and Iâm not being transported into any shame room!â
Bob tried his best to laugh at your attempt to lighten his mood. His cheeks flushed a bright red as he pulled his hands from your own, shaking his head as he sat back down on his bed, picking back up the book he had been reading before youâd come in and pitched your idea to him.
You took a deep breath, wracking your brain for any idea to hopefully convince Bob that this was good for him, that learning control again would be good. The cover of the book in his hands distracted you, a smile crossing your lips in an instant as you recognized it.
âI remember buying that for you last month, along with the rest of the series,â you told him gently, sitting down on the bed beside him and gesturing to the book. âSeems like youâre enjoying it, since Iâm pretty sure thatâs book three.â
âItâs not bad. Helps pass the time,â Bob shrugged, looking back to you with a shy smile. âYou have good taste.â
With a shared smile between you both, you bumped your shoulder with his lightly, glancing down at the book before looking back to his eyes. God, were you fond of those blue eyes.
âYou trusted my book recommendationsâŚcan you trust me on anything else?â
Bob didnât hesitate before speaking again.
âI trust you more than anyone,â
The way he said it, so sure of himself, made your smile grow even wider.
âThen trust me when I tell you that this could be good for you. Learning control again will help you, even just the smallest bit of practice and control can be good for you. Please, just try? For me?â
It was quiet between you both for a moment, eyes never leaving one another, before Bobâs voice came out softer than it had before.
âYeahâŚyeah, okay. Letâs try,â
It was a processâŚa long process to say the least. It took almost two weeks before you could even get Bob fully comfortable in the full gym that tower had for him to even consider channeling his powers again. He never liked going to the training room when John and Alexei were there, Walker always managing to make snide comments toward Bob. You knew Walker cared, he just hated wearing it on his sleeve and masked it instead, but that didnât mean you appreciated the small remarks.
Instead, youâd gotten Bob comfortable with heading to the training room whenever Bucky and Ava were sparring, the pair tending to leave you both alone unlike your other friends.
âI know you can do it. Just focus on it, channel your energy into it, and command your mind to do what you want it to do,â
You didnât have an extension range of powers the way that Bob did, so you werenât entirely sure that what you were instructing Bob to do was actually helpful to helping him learn control, or even get comfortable with his powers again. But he was trying, and that was enough for you.
Bob took a deep breath beside you, focusing in on the 20 pound medicine ball on the ground across the room from the two of you. He held his hand out, making your mind flashback to that day in the tower when you were forced to fight against him, something you had refused to do, and you saw the furrow in his brows as he tried to focus in and command the ball to move. There was silence in the room, besides the sound of Ava and Bucky talking across the room.
You watched Bob in silence as he seemed to grow more frustrated, desperately trying to move the ball across the room toward you both. You placed your hand on his arm, thumb gently rubbing across his skin in the most gentle and comforting way you could muster, tone hushed as you spoke just to him.
âYou can do this Bob, just focus. You can do it,â
The tenseness in his body seemed to leave him at your words and your touch. Bob pulled his hand back in toward him, and for just a second, he was delighted as the weighted exercise ball finally moved across the floor.
Until it stopped just an inch after moving.
Bobâs head was buried in his hands in seconds, and you could see the deep flush in his cheeks through the cracks in his fingers as he mumbled to himself. You couldnât entirely hear him, but you could make out the words âmistakeâ and âuselessâ clear as day as your hand made its way to his back, rubbing it comfortingly.
John Walkerâs obnoxious laughter from the doorway cut through the silence of the room before you could encourage Bob to try again.
âWow! I thought after a few weeks youâd have his control and powers in better shape there, Widow,â John whistled, stepping slightly further in through the doorway. You could hear Ava mumbling to Bucky about how this wouldnât but good, but John didnât seem to care. âI mean an inch! Wow! I mean hey, itâs not all about size right?â
âWalker, thatâs enough-â
You tuned out Buckyâs scolding of John, looking back to Bob. His hands had left his face, his eyes trained on the ground, as he continued to mumble to himself about how he was useless. Your blood boiled in an instant, reaching down to take one of Bobâs hands in your own and squeeze it in comfort as you turned your glare back to John.
âHey Walker? How about you shut it, yeah? If I wanted to hear an assâs opinion Iâd take myself down to the zoo and ask the fucking donkeys,â
John laughed again, shrugging off Bucky as he tried to place a hand on his shoulder, pointing over at you. Your hand tightened around Bobâs as he did.
âWant to say that again, Widow?â
âEx-Widow, thank you very much. You should remember that your dick belongs in your pants and not in your personality,â
âKeep running your mouth. This little experiment here of yours isnât good for anyone. Just because youâve got a little soft spot for Bobby boy here doesnât mean-â
Walker was cut off as the medicine ball Bob had been trying to move was flung across the room, narrowly missing his head and embedding itself in the doorframe behind him, shattering and splintering the wood and burying itself in the wall. Avaâs gasp was the only other sound as Bucky grabbed Walker almost by the back of his neck, shoving him out of the room with a gruff comment of âletâs goâ as Ava followed behind.
Your eyes finally left the piece of exercise equipment now one with the wall of the room, gaze turning back to Bob. His hand was held up in the direction the ball had flown, but it was shaking slightly. You trailed your gaze up to his eyes to see he was already looking down at you, eyes blown wide as she stammered over his words.
âI wasnât, that- that was a mistake. I didnât- I really didnât mean to do that he was, he was just- heâs such an asshole sometimes-â
Your laughter cut him off, pausing him in the middle of his tracks as you gripped his hand tighter, forehead falling against his shoulder as he stiffened for a moment, before relaxing and smiling slightly at the sound of your laughter ringing through the room.
âOh my god, Bob, that was brilliant! Iâm going to use that idea next time Walker decides to be a dick to mask his own troubles, that shut him right up!â
âI didnât mean to, though,â he quickly backtracked, shaking his head as you lifted your head, looking up at him, though still holding his hand tightly. âIt was a mistake.â
âMistakes happen. Weâre human, itâs natural,â she smiled at him, tilting her head toward the ball. âNowâŚdo it again.â
Bob stared at her for a moment, truly trying to discern what he possibly couldâve done to deserve you. Youâd stepped between him and Walker down in the vault, keeping the former Captain America from laying a hand on him, youâd almost died in the elevator shaft to make sure he didnât. Youâd refused to fight him that day in the penthouse, trying to bring him back, and it was ultimately you who was the first one to run to him and pull him back from the Void.
When he looked at you, he could feel the flutter in his chest, something he hadnât felt in a very, very long time. He knew what it meant, but he couldnât find the words to say it. It was in thinking of that four letter word while staring down at you that heâd pulled the ball right back to the two of you, letting it hang in the air before you both for a moment before dropping it to the ground.
Your eyes had never left his, your smile only growing wider and your fingers slotting between his own.
âNot bad, Bob. Not bad,â
It was a month later that your idea would be fully put to the test.
HYDRA was the most stubborn organization, like an insect that just refused to die. Steve Rogers couldnât stop them in the 40âs, and there was no stopping them now. Theyâd rebuilt momentum as an organization during the Blip, with cells popping up around the country. It didnât take long for information to come in about their new main base; an underground compound hidden within the Five Ponds Wilderness in upstate New York. The New Avengers had been tasked with infiltrating and dismantling the base, taking in as many soldiers within for questioning by the US government, and recovering any intel that theyâd managed to steal during their rebuild time.
It was an all hands on deck operation, the team knowing it was going to take all of them in order to fully infiltrate and dismantle this large base. In your eyes, that meant no one was sitting this one out.
âYou guys handle dismantling and capturing soldiers. Iâll handle intel recoveryâŚand Iâm taking Bob with me,â
The comment had everyone at the briefing table pausing, including Bob, who had opted to sit in the corner of the room after you had asked him personally to attend the briefing with you.
John refused to meet your eyes, knowing his single apology weeks ago wasnât enough to calm how angry you still were over the situation. Alexei and Ava shared concerned glances, while Bucky and Yelena seemed to have a conversation entirely with their eyes. The former Winter Soldier was the one to turn back to you, giving you a small nod.
âHeâs ready?â
âI think he is,â you trailed your gaze over to Bob, giving him an encouraging smile. âThe question is, do you think youâre ready?â
Bob looked at his teammates, his friends, seeing the apprehension in their eyes. But all it took was one look back to you, to the pride and encouragement shining in your gaze on him, that had him sitting up straighter.
âI am,â
It was that simple sentence that had Bob finding himself trekking through the wilderness of upstate New York behind you, decked out in a minimal tactical suit that the team had insisted he wear for the mission. He didnât mind it, anything was better than that monstrosity that Valentina had put him in before.
âIs this normal?â Bob cautiously questioned you, stopping alongside you in a clearing in the woods youâd finally gotten to. âYou knowâŚsplitting up? The team all uh, went another way didnât they?â
âOur mission is intel recovery and intel recovery only, so it was easier for us to head through this separate entrance,â you explained, kneeling down in the leaves below your feet and brushing them away, revealing the steel door below your feet. You glanced up at him, smiling. âThis should bring us closer to their control room, which minimizes the amount of fighting that we have to deal with.â
Both of you finally making your way through the hatch and down into the halls of the, Bob stuck close to your side as you guided him through the halls, earpieces in your ears alerting you to updates from the rest of the team. The hallways blinked in the emergency red lights you knew would be going off, signaling that the base was in lockdown mode. That meant your friends were doing their job further down the compound.
Youâd briefed Bob on the mission on the very short jet ride to upstate. Taking the separate entrance would mean minimal fighting for both of you, which you wanted for Bob. You wanted to ease him into missions like this, especially when he was afraid to fully unleash his powers and be âThe Sentryâ in fear of losing himself. You found a middle ground, instructing Bob that you would handle the majority of anyone you came across as well as the intel dump to your central computers back at the Watchtower. All he had to do was watch your back for stragglers.
With the compound in lockdown, most of the HYDRA agents had been pulled to the main fight. Using the tech embedded into your suit, you did a quick scan through the control room door, highlighting the agents that were inside.
âJust follow my lead and watch my back,â you mumbled to Bob, hand on the door of the control room, glancing back at him with a small smile. âYouâve got this.â
Within seconds of throwing the control room door open you were inside, launching yourself over the row of computers, legs spread as you took down two agents simultaneously with kicks directly into their throats. You ducked under another row of tables as shots rang out from the gun of another agent, propelling yourself up and above the table toward him. His gun tracked your movements, shots ringing through your ears, but the bullets hovered in place. Bob was barely through the doorway, one hand stopping the bullets from touching you while another held off the agent rushing toward him with ease.
In the signature move youâd learned from Natasha herself, your thighs enclosed around the neck of the agent shooting at you, twisting your body until you were both thrown to the ground, With another single twist of your legs you heard a crack, quickly scrambling back to your feet.
With one agent dead and two down you glanced to Bob, who was entirely fine holding back the agent that was struggling against his powers to get to him. Kicking the chairs before you out of the way, you quickly inserted the USB into the main computer drive, initiating the sequence to download any intel that HYDRA was harboring in the compound.
Bob was simply staring at the man in front of him, head tilted as the agent struggled against his mental hold on him that held him in place. Realizing that he needed to be focusing on watching your back instead of messing with the agent, Bob quickly threw him across the room, the agentâs head hitting a wall and knocking him out almost immediately. Bob smiled to himself for just a moment at the sight; he felt bad for hurting anyone, even if these people were bad people that needed to be stopped. But to have this kind of control over his powers was a miracle to him, something he didnât believe was possible. And he owed everything to you-
âBOB!â
He frantically turned, seeing one of the agents back on his feet, hand wrapped around your throat and body pressed against the row of computers before them. He could hear your choked coughs from across the room, your feet pushing against the manâs chest in a desperate hope to knock him off of you. It was to no avail, though, as the agent lifted his other hand with some sort of device encased in it. The HYDRA agent pressed the button on top of the device, the entire body of it lighting up red in seconds.
âNO!â
You sucked in a deep breath as the agentâs hand was ripped from your throat in seconds, your own hands flying to your throat as you tried to regain control of your surroundings. Bob with a single flick of the wrist dragged the man aross the room, launching him into the wall opposite you at the speed of light, a sickening crack sounding through the room.
Your eyes locked with Bobâs for just a second before you both looked to the beeping, red device at your feet. Without a momentâs hesitation, Bob flew across the room in what seemed like a blink, grabbing hold of the device and launching it across the room toward the door where you had entered. In the next second he turned, covering your body with his own as he pulled you both to the ground just as the device containing a high powered bomb exploded.
In an instant your hands covered your ears, feeling the rush of heat from the blast and pieces of debris rush past you and Bob. He body stayed crouched over yours, keeping anything from the blast from hitting you. It seemed to go on for what felt like forever until all that was left was the smell of smoke and gunpowder in the air and the faint crackle of electricity from destroyed wires.
After another moment to recover, you crawled out from Bobâs arms, quickly turning to the harddrive behind you to pocket the USB and whatever intel you were able to download before the explosion. You turned back to the area of the blast, and felt your breath leave you at the sight.
The entire wall that connected to the main hallway was gone, the ceiling having come down on top of it as well, almost splitting the room into almost half of the size it had been when you had first entered and encountered the agents. Wires were exposed within the ceiling, pipes leaking down into the room as small fires burned in the explosion area of the rubble.
âWidow, Bob, answer us!â fully coming back to your senses, you could hear Johnâs voice through the earpiece in your ear. âWe heard an explosion, does one of you copy?â
âOne of the agentâs had a bomb, but weâre both fine,â you called back to the team, still breathing heavily as you surveyed the damage before you. âThe roomâŚnot so much.â
âDid you get the intel-â
âThatâs not important,â Yelenaâs voice cut off Johnâs, and you could hear the concern within it. âWhatâs wrong with the room?â
âMy best guess is weâre trapped now, given that an entire wall and half the ceiling was just blown out,â you relayed back to them. âWeâre underground so I really donât want to think about being trapped within a concrete room with what I can only assume is a limited amount of oxygen, so if the three super soldiers on this team could hurry their asses over here and help dig us out sooner rather than later weâd appreciate it.â
âStay put, weâre on our way,â
âStay put, as if we can go anywhere,â you mumbled to yourself, tearing the earpiece from your ear and pocketing it, ears still ringing slightly from the blast. âBob, you okay?â
Your eyes stayed trained on the debris before you even as you asked the question. After a moment of no response you glanced to the side at one of the only walls that wasnât destroyed, freezing in place at the sight of a black tendril like shadow crawling across the wall.
âI made a mistakeâŚitâs my faultâŚâ
Turning fully, it felt like ice had suddenly run through your veins at the sight before you.
Bob was on his knees on the ground, eyes trained on the floor, but he was barely Bob anymore. Half of his face, of the face of the beautiful, broken boy youâd fallen so irrevocably in love with over the last few months was still visible. The rest of him was bathed in shadows, tendrils of it seeping out through the floor and into the walls, as the Void slowly took him over.
âBobâŚâ your voice was low, cautious, as you took a single hesitant step back.
He looked up at you at he sound of your voice. One single blue eye remained, tears welling in it and streaming down his face, in contrast to the shadow and pinpoint dot that covered the other half of his face. He spoke like himself, but almost like there were two of him, a low and gruff second voice of his layered over it.
âItâs my fault. It shouldnât have happened I- I made a mistake. I couldâve hurt you, I couldâve got you killed,â his voice broke for a second, a sob almost seeping out of him as the shadows took more of what was left of him away. âIâm useless. All I do is make mistakes, all I do is make everything worse.You shouldnât have brought me, I wasnât ready. I- I canât hurt you. I couldnât live with myself if I did.â
âYou protected me,â you tried to explain to him, voice soft as you crouched down, bringing yourself down to his level as you held out your hands toward him. âYou saved me. You didnât make a mistake, Bob, neither of us knew he had a bomb. You did everything you could. Please justâŚjust listen. Just come back to me.â
He stared at you, one blue eyes and one pinpoint eye, but your words seemed to go in one ear and out the other. The shadows still crept in.
âIâm better off dead. If Iâm dead IâŚI canât hurt you. I wonât hurt you,â
The shadows crept in again, that blue eye full of tears barely left to look at you, as the Void was seconds from swallowing him whole once again.Â
Panic filled you in that instance, at the thought of losing him, and you lunged forward. Your knees dropping to the ground in front of him as you threw your arms around him, burying your face in his neck as you cried, letting the shadows consume you as well.
âDonât leave meâŚplease donât leave me,â
It couldâve been minutes, it felt like hours, but in reality it had only been seconds before your eyes opened once more. There were arms wrapped around your waist as your brain caught up with you that you were still with Bob. You flung back, prying your head from the crook of his neck as you pulled back to look at him, just as he looked back at you with a similar look of confusion.
One hand came up to cup his cheek, overwhelmed to simply see his face unmarked by shadows. His eyes trailed over your face before they flickered around the room, face contorting in confusion.
âThisâŚthis isnât one of my shame rooms,â
You followed his gaze, breath catching in your throat automatically as you took in the room. The grand pillars in front of the staircase, the white and black tiled floor beneath your feet, the dim lighting you knew all too well.
The Red Room.
âNoâŚitâs one of mine,â
Bobâs hand around your waist tightened at the sound of heels against the floor behind you. His hand never left you, and yourâs never left him as you both turned to face the scene before you.
You were so young, only 9. You stood to the side of the room, still in your ballet flats and hair slicked back impeccably. You recognized the woman in heels, of course you did sheâd been your instructor since you were barely old enough to be molded into one of their assassins. She came to a stop before you, glaring down at you. God, you were just a child.
âYou were given simple instructions,â her shrill voice cut through the air as you tightened your hold around Bob at the sound. âA simple task. You have been a perfect studentâŚonly to fail now.â
âIâm sorry, mistress,â
âThere are no apologies here,â her voice cut in again. âOnly consequences.â
Two burly men entered the room, holding the arms of a body not much bigger than your own at the time. They tore the sack upon the childâs head off, revealing her face: Polina. Youâd grown up together, progressed through every challenge together. Besides YelenaâŚsheâd been the closest thing to a best friend you could have in a place like this.
Bobâs own hands on your waist tightened as the mistress pulled out a revolver from the waistband of her skirt, loading a single bullet into the chamber. Her gaze flickered back to your young 9-year-old self, glare harsher than it was before as she saw your eyes were closed. âOpen your eyes, and accept your consequence.â
A single tear made its way down your cheek as this young version of you did as she was asked, holding back her own tears as she looked into the eyes of your friend, just as the mistressâs bullet pierced her skull.
âWhatâŚwhat happened?â
âSimpleâŚI made a mistake,â was the only response you could muster back to Bob. You pulled your gaze from the bloody scene before you, turning back to the man you loved as he watched you. Shaky hands cupped his cheeks, thumbs gliding over his skin as you swallowed the lump in your throat. âBobâŚwe all have regrets. We all wish we couldâve done things differently. We all make mistakes, whether we want to or not, but it just means weâre human. We are not the sum of all of our mistakes, but what we choose to do differently because of them.â
Bob leaned into your soft touch, his eyes never leaving yours. He shook his head, choking on his own words as he tried to find the words to say.
âAll Iâve done is cause you painâŚcause everyone pain, because I keep- I keep making mistakes. I donât know how to fix it,â
You thought about the next thing to say, what you could possibly say to get through to him, but words no longer seemed to do the trick. Instead, your hands held tight to his face as you surged forward, molding your lips to his own.
In a single kiss, you tried to convey every single thing that you needed him to feel. The way that you had cared about him from the moment youâd laid eyes on him, that one single look into his blue eyes had forever held him a place in your heart before you even realized he was the one occupying it. That in your eyes, he could do no wrong, that there was no mistake he could make that would make you love him any less. That you would walk through fire, cross any ocean, or throw yourself into the void of his own mind if thatâs what it took to bring him back to you. The press of your lips against his own, the hesitant reciprocation back from him as he tried to navigate this new territory, his hands gripped onto your waist in hopes to ground himself in the moment, you tried desperately to ensure that he knew everything you needed him to know in that moment.
You pulled away, eyes closed as you felt him lean back into you, chasing after the feeling of your lips on his. Your nose brushed against his, hand moving from his cheek to the nape of his neck, tangling in his hair.
âJust stay with me. Thatâs all I needâŚjust stay with me,â
When you finally opened your eyes, you were back in the debris-covered room of the destroyed compound, still kneeling on the floor. You could hear the sound of your friends from beyond the debris, calling out for you as they tried to move the debris before them to get to you both.
All that mattered was the man still wrapped in your arms, shadows faded away as if theyâd never appeared to begin with, leaving behind those beautiful blue eyes that shone brightly with one thing only: love.
âAlways,â

Your doorbell rings for the second time. Rolling your eyes, you let out a loud sigh and drop your highlighter on your book, dragging your feet to the doorway and opening it against your will.Â
âWhat the fuck took so long?â Is what Jungkook welcomes you with, taking off his black mask aggressively and stepping inside the threshold without you even inviting him inside.
You lock the door again, watching as Jungkook expertly navigates the space of your apartment, used to the way he heads to the kitchen with ease where he places the â you noticed it just now â bags of take-out on the counter.Â
âI told you, I canât get into anything right now. I have to study for a test.â You cross your arms under your chest, following him. You stop by the counter across Jungkook, looking at him as he opens your fridge to get a bottle of water.Â
Heâs worn all black from head to toe for obvious reasons because you live downtown and near Gangnam, and thereâs no way nobody would recognize him if he didnât get into any disguise.Â
Jungkook turns to you once heâs chugged the rest of the drink, leaning onto the counter, brow raised as he says, âWho said we have to get into anything right now?âÂ
You shoot him a mirrored look.
âWe only see each other for sex. And we canât have sex tonight. I need to spell it out for you?âÂ
Jungkook doesnât say anything. Instead, he gestures to the food on the counter and begins shrugging off his leather jacket and cap.Â
âEat. You look pale.âÂ
âJungkookââ
He furrows his brows. âIs it that time of the month? Why are you so mouthy more than usual?âÂ
âFuck off.â You flip him off which makes him chuckle. It takes you aback a little.Â
âSee. Youâre irritable because you havenât eaten yet. So what if you have to study? Eat first. Iâll help you with your flashcards later, then weâll have sex. Easy.âÂ
âWho are you and why are you telling me what to do?â You bite back.
âBecause youâll probably die at 27 if I wasnât constantly reminding you of eating your meals,â Jungkook shrugs and starts tearing off the tapes on the take-out food. âAnd you like having sex with me. So.â You purse your lips, making a small scoffing sound, prompting Jungkook to glance at you. âYeah?â He quirks a brow with a hint of a smile on his lips.
You frown. âYouâre cocky.âÂ
âYou get me hard when we argue. Save it for later.â He says, as if chastising you and redirecting your attention again to the food.Â
You roll your eyes again, annoyed that thereâs a weird feeling in your stomach about the whole exchange and your mouth muscles are itching to curl up a little at his⌠stupidity. It irritates you, the way Jungkook goes through life in an easy-going way because he knows exactly who he is.Â
You almost let out a moan as you start digging in the chicken he bought, feeling relieved to finally have something. Jungkook was only half-exaggerating when he said he had to tell you to eat, because most of the time you really forget all about it.
Today was one of those days⌠you didnât have to clock in at the company on Fridays but your classes go from 5 to 9pm which drains the hell out of you. Waking up midday means not bothering to eat⌠and aside from the bagel and coffee you grabbed at the cafe earlier, you havenât consumed real food.Â
âI donât like this.â you suddenly say.Â
âWhat?â
You look up at him. He still looks weird.Â
âThat.â you point at his general direction. He raises a brow, growing confused. âYou look happy. Iâm not sure if I like that.â
âOuch.âÂ
You canât help yourself. You laugh at his completely blank face. Cutting yourself off completely, you clear your throat.
âItâs weird. Why?âÂ
âI smile and it just⌠what? Ruins your day?âÂ
âYeah.âÂ
Jungkook laughs out loud. âYouâre infuriating.âÂ
You hum, weirdly satisfied with that.
Jungkook has been over your apartment many times because as much as his place is way nicer, you donât like going there. Too risky, too many eyes. Too⌠scary. You know Jungkook improves his security every three months, as sad as it sounds, but still. You donât feel comfortable going there, probably why you refused to use the keycard heâs given you. You do fuck a lot in your studio, though, or in the empty rooms over at the company, but when youâre not, Jungkook and you drive here. Itâs almost safe to assume that Jungkook knows this place already like the back of his hand.
Probably because whatever the hell this is between you has been going on for eight months now.
After Jungkook and you inhaled every last bit of the food (because he was apparently starving as well), true to his words, he actually did help you study a bit. But that didnât really last when Jungkook suddenly had his fingers in you thirty minutes later.Â
One moment you were talking about phonological change and sound laws, the next thing you know, youâre cumming on his fingers, while Jungkook sits on the edge of your bed frantically helping you straddle him. Meanwhile, half of your clothes are forming a heap on the floor as you heavily make out with each other.Â
âF-fuck,â
Jungkook sighs when the tip of his cock finally enters your pussy as you slowly push down on him, thighs clenching at the way heâs stretching you out.Â
You gasp when you fully sit on him, open mouths breathing against each other.Â
âOh, fuck, youâre so b-bigââ
And you might never really get used to it, no matter how many times you do it.
You let out a shaky moan when you feel Jungkookâs dick twitching inside you, opening your eyes only to see him already staring right at you.Â
âYou okay to move?â He rasps, the veins in his arms telling you heâs trying to hold back.Â
You nod eagerly, placing your palms on his shoulders and preparing yourself to go up. Your slick from the foreplay doesnât make the stretch of his cock fully burn, making it a little easier for you to slide out and bounce back down on him until youâre repeating the movement faster, with Jungkook taking a hold of of your breasts, squeezing the flesh tightly in his huge palms. He groans, leaning down to capture your nipples, biting the pearls a little too rough you whimper a little too loud.Â
âO-ohâ! Not too rough, Jeon.â You whine, grabbing the back of his head. Jungkook looks at you with brows raised, rightfully confused âcause you usually like it when heâs rough with you. You bite your lip, continuing to ride him. âJust a little sensitive. My periodâs next week.âÂ
Jungkook nods understandingly, squeezing your chest again, quite apologetically might you say so. He licks over a nipple, this time considerably more gentle with it.Â
âHowâs this for a studying session?âÂ
âN-not bad,â You bite your lip when you feel your thighs quivering, already starting to run out of breath, digging your nails in Jungkookâs shoulders. His hands travel down to your hips, where he grips it tight and starts guiding your ministration, literally bouncing you up and down on him. âAhhâ fuck.â you moan, shutting your eyes close at the delicious sensation of his engorged cock touching every part of your pussy.Â
Youâre dripping on him, both of your bated breaths filling your room as he picks up your own pace.Â
âYou â fuck â enjoy riding my cock like this?â He suddenly cups your jaw, making you look at him. The sides of your eyes sting with unshed tears, whimpering when his dick slips out of you when you try to go down again. Both of you look at it, with Jungkook quickly helping you put it back in, moaning in unison when it enters you again. You tighten your grip on him, soft sighs falling out of your mouth. But Jungkook suddenly lets out a quiet tsk, looking at you with furrowed brows as he says, âAnswer me.âÂ
âY-you know.â you say, mirroring his look. You start rocking back and forth instead, heightening the pleasure.Â
With the way Jungkookâs face contorts, you know the new movement feels just as good for him.Â
But he suddenly thrusts from under you, grabbing the back of your hair â the stretch on your scalp didnât hurt, but itâs enough to make you gasp.
âWhy do you gotta be such a fuckinâ brat, huh?â Jungkook groans, guiding your face closer to his. âYou act like this aroundâ whoâs that guy again? Professor Kim?âÂ
You bite your lip to prevent yourself from smiling at that. You knew he was gonna bring that up one way or another. You and Professor Kim fucked that one time â okay maybe two times when Jungkook and you had this weird cool-off thing going on four months ago, and he made sure to remind you of it every singe chance he got.Â
âNo,â you firmly say, leveling him with a look, still keeping your pace on his cock. âHe likes it when Iâm a good girl.âÂ
Jungkookâs expression darkens, and you moan when his grip on your hair tightens.Â
âYouâre far from a good girl, sweetheart. But he wouldnât know that âcause he only got to fuck you twice.â
âY-yeah? You sure itâs not more thaââÂ
Jungkook cuts you off with a hot, angry kiss. Your teeth cling together, and with the aggressive way he inserts his tongue into you unprompted, you know heâs getting a little heated.Â
Itâs juvenile, but you take a little pride in how much it's so easy for you to piss him off.Â
But one second youâre sharing a searing kiss, the next moment you feel a sting on your bottom lip.Â
âOhâ! What the fuck!â You push Jungkook away so hard he unceremoniously plops down on the mattress, bringing you down with him. You manage to support yourself with his hard chest, looking at him with bewildered eyes, touching your bottom lip. The fucker just bit it.Â
Jungkook lets himself rest against the mattress, gripping your thighs instead.Â
âHeâs fucking weird for fucking his student, by the way.â he says, apparently still not done talking about Kim Namjoon. His hands have made their way from your legs to your breasts, but you whisk them away, shooting him a glare.
âYouâre a dick,â you jab at his chest, making him let out a slightly pained âOh!â, soon exchanged with a grunt of pleasure when you reach for his cock behind you to sit on it again, grinding against it. You lean on his chest, keeping your daggers on him. âYou can say whatever you want but you canât blame Prof Kim for fucking his student.âÂ
Jungkook immediately scoffs. Because you refuse to have anything to do with his hands, he crosses them under his head, eyes casting a glance down where you meet, darkening when you roll your hips against him deliciously.
âHeâs a person in power. That gotta be unethical.âÂ
You roll your eyes almost automatically.Â
âSo you wouldnât fuck me if I was your student, then?â you raise your brow, taking note of the obvious surprise coloring Jungkookâs face.Â
But he quickly shuts it down with a smug response.
âI would just have to look at other professors to fuck. Especially at SNU? Have you seen the women professors there?â Thereâs a bite to it, and the smirk on his lips heighten that. Like heâs telling you he has way more options than you â and those options can come easy for him. If he wants to.Â
âSee how youâre not fucking any one of them? Exactly.â you retort.Â
Jungkook snorts. âI donât have to,â He removes his hands from his head. âBesides, I fucked Hana before in a professor outfit. Does that count?âÂ
You grit your teeth together at the mention of Hana. Sheâs a friend of yours, also an idol like Jungkook. You actually do have a lot of friends in the industry, and coincidentally, Jungkook has fucked most of them.Â
âWhatâs the matter? Don't like the reminder that much?â Jungkook grins. âI remember Jiyeon being in the same position as you now. She really loves riding my dick. Kind of like you. You two really are friends, huh?âÂ
Kim Jiyeon, a member of a famous group in the country. Another one of your friends and one of Jungkookâs on and off hook-ups too. You donât know if they still do it from time to time â as far as you know, they ended just as you two began. But you donât ask either, donât really care at all.Â
But itâs funny since you remember him saying awhile ago he hasnât fucked anybody other than you in a long time. Was that a lie?Â
âSure. Donât feel special though, I rode Jaehyun exactly this way. Went at it for hours because my pussy just gets so wet for him.âÂ
You relish the fact that Jungkookâs smile immediately falls off his face when you say that. But that victory only lasted for a brief moment when he spoke his next words.Â
âYou have a dirty mouth on you, Iâll give you that. Shinâs was dirtier, though. Gives crazy head too.âÂ
You donât really know why heâs mentioning all your idol friends, but fine. If he wants to play that game, youâll give it to him.Â
âDonât you just love a crazy head? Mingyu gave me one when we finally went out on a date, and I still think about it,â You made sure to grind against his cock painfully slowly, making a show of moaning out loud. âOh god,â
Thankfully, that shuts Jungkook up.Â
âSo he did ask you out.â Jungkook says, and it sounds so⌠firm. You canât even recognize the look on his face.Â
âYes.âÂ
He goes quiet after that, but his hands on your waist are tight.Â
Like nothing happened, you continue riding him â and maybe because you talked too much that the momentum got killed, but suddenly, you stop your ministration.
Jungkookâs brows furrow, about to say something. Just as when he opens his mouth to speak, you get off him, leaving him astounded on your bed with his dick still stiff and hard against his abdomen.
âWhat the hell?âÂ
âIâm going to take a shower.â you say nonchalantly, already heading to your bathroom.Â
âSeriously?â Jungkook says, the disbelief in his tone palpable. âIâm still hard and I havenât even cum yet.âÂ
You look back at him. âYou can take care of that.âÂ
Jungkook gestures with his hand. âAre you fucking kiddingâ youâre serious?â
You turn away and go straight to the bathroom, locking the door and immediately turning the shower on â aggressively so.
Youâre not mad, is what you tell yourself. You know you started it when you goaded Jungkook about Namjoon. But you also shouldnât have taken the bait, because Jungkook is competitive in all areas that affects his huge, dumb ego.Â
Well, fuck him. Figuratively this time. You canât believe you let him in your place tonight. You canât even fucking remember what you were reading earlier, because his stupid horny brain decided it was okay to finger you when you were memorizing the morâ
âWhat theâ!âÂ
You look at Jungkook in shock when he suddenly barges in the shower, all naked just like you and goes under the stream too, looking just as pissed as you left him.
âI know where you keep your keys and you canât just walk out on me like that,â He turns off the shower and youâre about to complain when he suddenly looks at you again, brows furrowing and tone a little dark when he says, âSo what? You play this little Iâm-fucking-other-people-and-not-just-you games on me every fucking time and expect me to just take it? When I decide to ride along you get a little pissy and act like a child?âÂ
Your jaw slacks, not expecting the call-out. Jungkook steps closer to you, heavy footsteps sounding like a ticking clock above your head. Youâve always known heâs muscly, and much much taller and bigger than you, but his presence especially looms over you when heâs obviously heated like this.
Your backward steps are futile when he only takes steps forward, until you feel the glass wall on your back.Â
Jungkook follows, and even though his hands are wet from the water, warmth spread through your body when he takes you roughly by the waist.
âNow you have nothing to say because you know Iâm right,â he rasps. You whimper when he presses his body to you, his dick flatly rigid against your stomach, the tip aching red when you glance down to look at it. Jungkook clicks his tongue against his cheek, cupping your cheek to redirect your face to him. âTurn around.âÂ
He doesnât even bother hearing you out, just manhandles you around himself. You suppress a moan when he rests his dick against the cleft of your ass, his body heat spreading within you when he leans down to whisper in your ear, âYou know whatâs funny? Your mouth looks adorably small when itâs stuffed with my cock, but it sure is big enough when you run it just to piss me off.âÂ
Your thighs clench at his words. Swallowing the lump in your throat, you look back at him. âS-so what are you gonna do about it?âÂ
Jungkook raises a brow. âThe best option is to put my dick in it but youâd be way too happy with that.âÂ
You roll your eyes. âYouâre so full of yourselfââÂ
âGod, can you shut up for even just a minute?â
You fight the urge to roll your eyes again.
âCan you just fuck me and get this whole thing over with?âÂ
You donât expect the slap in your ass that comes after that. Looking back at Jungkook with a gasp, youâre about to voice out a complaint when he suddenly inserts a finger in you, cutting your train of thought.Â
He slowly eases out of your pussy, but shoves his digit back in, settling with a steady pace in and out.Â
âLook at you, youâre a cockslut. You like when Iâm mean to you, thatâs why you piss me off, right?â He says, nibbling on your ear.Â
You whimper when he adds another finger, moaning at the sensation. Jungkook picks up his pace, and your lewd sounds bounce off the shower stall as you start feeling the hot coil in your stomach.Â
âJ-jungkook,âÂ
âHm?âÂ
âI wantâ more.â You say, looking at him with your mouth agape, tears forming in the sides of your eyes. Your thighs feel like giving out, and you feel so empty even though heâs two fingers in itâs almost criminal.Â
âSay it. What do you want?âÂ
You fight the urge to flip him off, but your tone is still snarky when you simply say, âDick.â
He chuckles, sending shivers down your spine. âWhose dick? And whatâs the magic word?âÂ
You shut your eyes close, grinding your teeth in quiet anger.
âYour dick and please.â You say in the most monotonous voice you could ever muster.Â
You fully expectd Jungkook to prolong the moment a little longer, but fucking finally, you see him stroking his dick a few moments later, shaking his head and chuckling lowly when he adjusts your position against his crotch.Â
âYou whine and I give you what you want. Arenât you too spoiled, princess?â He says, aligning the head to your oussy until you feel the tip slowly entering you.Â
You inhale, relief of having his cock back inside you washing over you.Â
âY-you love giving me what I want.â You retort back, pushing yourself on him, careful to keep a tight balance on the glass before you even though Jungkookâs got a tight hold on your waist with his other hand.Â
He only hums, and soon he thrusts inside with no warning â but itâs a pleasant stretch when it happens, a loud moan escaping your mouth from the sudden movement.Â
âO-oh god!â you yelp when he begins sliding in out of you at a fast pace, gushing as he kept on giving it to you.
You try to keep your voice low but Jungkookâs stretching you out so well, his thrusts so precise and forceful, dick growing impossibly bigger every passing second.Â
Soon, the cramped shower stall is fogged, with nothing but your heavy breaths and moans and groans filling the air, Jungkook beating your pussy with speedy trusts your breasts are starting to hurt from the jiggling â thank god that Jungkook decided to fondle them with his palms, squeezing and holding, flicking your nipples every now and then.Â
âItâsâshitâitâs only me who gets to see you like this, begging for my cock because you fucking love it so much,â Jungkook says against your neck. âSo fucking wet, such greedy pussy â and itâs mine, right?â You only whimper, but that obviously does not make Jungkook happy. With a forceful tug on your hair, he makes you look at him. âAnswer me when I talk to you, baby, or youâre not gonna cum.âÂ
âY-yes!âÂ
He hums, slowing down to give you a slow, purposeful trust.Â
âI donât care who else you fuck, __. Because at the end of the day, itâs me you come back to.âÂ
You could almost cry by the way heâs going so slow that you feel almost every ridge of his cock, but it feels so good. Heâs so big and hits all the right spots, even when he talks shit. Â
âShit.â he hisses before speeding up again, and you can feel fhe tell tale sign of his orgasm when his rhythym becomes uncoordinated for a bit of a moment, groaning a little loider than usual, until one of his hands on your waist let go to squeeze his dick in your pussy.
âIâm gonna cum,â Jungkook says with heavy breaths, staggering a little. âWhere can I cum?â
âInside.â you say, âPlease cum inside. I need it, Kook. Cum inside me.â
âYeah?â
âY-yeah. Please. Need it. Need it so bad.â you bite your lip, feeling a little delirious.Â
When Jungkook moans a little louder, thatâs when you feel the hot liquid running down your legs. It makes your pussy flutter, whimpering when Jungkook inserts his cock in you to push his cum back again, stuffing you with his cum.Â
âSo damn pretty⌠fuck,â Jungkook whispers, rubbig the base of his cock against your lips.Â
âKookââ
He doesnât let you say any more, just creeps his finger in your pussy, thumb rubbing your clit in eights. And because youâve been basically edged as well, it doesnât take too long for you to follow him, cumming down hard.Â
Jungkook helps you get up, lets you rest your back against him as you try to regain your mobility, chest heaving up and down.
Itâs weirdly calming when he runs his hands over your body, caressing your stomach and squeezing your tits as you both come down from your high.Â
âYou okay?â Jungkook whispers against your head. You nod. âAlright, Iâll leave you to it.âÂ
Youâre about to ask if he plans on showering as well, but you stop yourself before you can even say it out loud, looking at his disappearing figure when he walks out of the shower box and the bathroom altogether.Â
It takes you a moment to start the shower again.Â
But it was only a quick one, and you didnât exactly think about where Jungkook wouldâve gone by the time you're finished, but once youâve emerged in your bedroom again, you see him pulling up his pants, buckling his belt.Â
âYouâre leaving?â You say, pausing. Then you realize it came out kind of weird, so you try to scratch that. Glancing at your alarm clock by the bedside table, you clear your throat. âI mean, itâs 3 am.âÂ
Jungkook looks up at you. âYeah. I have practice at 6.âÂ
âAh.â you nod, blinking at him. You head to your closet, picking out your clothes for the night. âYou have three hours left. Tough.âÂ
Jungkook snorts. You can hear him shuffling behind you while you wore another clean camisole and shorts. When you turn around, Jungkookâs dressed now in his black shirt and jeans. His cap and jacket are in the living room, so he'll probably just grab them when he heads out.Â
When you plop down on the bed, you watch as Jungkook picks up his wallet and his phone, stuffing them in his pockets. You thought heâd leave by then, but he suddenly speaks.Â
âHey.â He calls. You raise your brow at him to continue. Jungkook pauses for a moment, looking a bit unsure. Before you can ask, he finally says something. âYou can fuck Kim Namjoon or whoever you like,â he starts, staring intently at you. âJust tell me beforehand so we can sort it out.âÂ
A few beats.Â
Jungkook doesnât follow it up with anything, and nor do you say anything quickly to that.Â
The silence sounds way too loud.Â
âOkay.â Is what you settle with. Jungkook stares at you a little longer than necessary, so you arch your brow. âWhat? Anything else before you leave?âÂ
It takes Jungkook awhile to say, âNothing.âÂ
âOkay⌠and uh, thanks for bringing food.âÂ
He arches a brow, lips curling up a little. You squint your eyes, rolling it when he gives you a knowing smile.Â
âGood night, I guess?â Jungkook lamely offers.Â
You nod. âItâs 3 am but okay.â
âYou canât tell me good night, too?â Jungkook says.Â
âUh, have a good sleep and sweet dreams?â you say with the flattest tone and face.Â
He scoffs, but he looks amused. âYou can be a little more sincere than that.âÂ
You wave him off. Jungkook shakes his head, turning on his heels to head out the door.Â
âJungkook.âÂ
His hands around the door handle pauses mid-air to look at you.Â
You look away.Â
âMingyu did ask me out,â you start.Â
Jungkookâs face is unreadable when he says, âI didnât ask.â
You shake your head. âNo, I know you didn't, I justââ you sigh. âThat was a week ago. I just want to say that⌠nothing happened.âÂ
It takes awhile for Jungkook to understand.Â
âSoâŚâ
You lied. About the head or whatever the hell you said about Mingyu and you together. Mingyu was a nice guy, and the date was also really nice. But it just⌠didnât work out.Â
âYeah.â is what you settled with.Â
You donât really know what you expected from him, but he just nods.Â
âAlright.âÂ
That was the last thing he said when he walked out of your door.Â
You look away, grabbing your phone to check some notification. Thereâs something on instagram, and thereâs a message from Yoongi. Some mp3 file. Music stuff, you guess. And thereâs one from Yena too, a member of a rookie female group over at the company whoâs getting into songwriting.Â
When you lie down to sleep, you feel empty.

I would love to see what your hypothetical Kanade crash out would look like ngl (you don't need to draw for this if you don't want to a text explanation would still be awesome)


ok soooo this isn't exactly the crashout but rather building up to it i guess :P
the rest of this post is gonna be rambling and predictions âŹď¸
alright this ask enabled me, im gonna just dump all my thoughts as of now on what's to come for kanade's story :) i could end up being completely wrong, but hey im just theorizing and having fun here while i wait very impatiently lol
To start, I don't think kana5 will be on the scale of mizu5 (i mean i might be biased but idk if anything will come close to that level of insanity again), mainly because there hasn't been as much build-up to a breaking point. Kanade's issues have been pushed aside (by herself especially) and not heavily focused on up to this point in the story. There hasn't been any increasing tension for things to reach a climax yet. Having her big break be in this next event would be too sudden and sort of unprecedented. For this event at least, I highly doubt that'll be the case. Instead, I think this event will start to touch on Kanade's buried issues more, and begin building that tension for something bigger. I can see this being a multiple event arc, similar to the events leading up to the climax of Mafuyu's story. Summarizing that, yes I think Kanade's got some real tough shit ahead of her, but that's why this won't be a one-off event story. I think it'll just be the beginning.
That being said, to touch more on my predictions for kana5 itself, I think Kanade will start to slip, and the others, Mafuyu especially, will take notice. I can't really predict anything specific, but I think something will happen that will make her question her ability to save people, or cause her to be harder on herself, as she has in the past, to keep composing persistently, neglecting her own needs and health. However, things are different now than they were before niigo. She has more people around her that will be able to see the damage she's doing to herself. But she also knows they all look up to her, and that her music lifts them up. She knows they all have a lot they're dealing with, and she needs to be there for them. She can't let them down.

Then, when Kanade pushes herself past her limits at the cost of her well-being, what will she do then? She meets with the others on nightcord every night, and Mafuyu is living at her place. She won't be able to rot away by herself anymore without people noticing. But she still feels this need to be the group's rock and to be the one to save everyone, so she'll try her damn hardest to prevent the others from worrying about her. She'll shoot down their attempts at trying to talk about it. I think she might be especially stubborn this time around, and it might cause niigo to have to figure out a way to help Kanade, since they won't be able to get through to her at first.

Kanade has shown in the past to get uncharacteristically aggressive when she's pushing herself too hard, as shown above. She starts to take on everything herself, and snaps at anyone who tries to stop her. I think this side of her will be shown more going forward, as she begins to go down this kind of self-destructive path yet again. At least, that's where I think her story will go. Her tendency to work herself to the bone hasn't really been resolved, and she's gone so far with it before to end up in the hospital after passing out. She doesn't care what happens to her, as long as she can save people. The only reason she has ((slightly)) gotten better at taking care of herself is so that she can be able to keep composing without ending up in the hospital again. Not because she cares about her health. Because she must keep composing. She still only does the bare minimum for herself. If it's her cooking, she's only having instant ramen, and most days she's probably not going to see the sun. She still doesn't sleep much, and Mafuyu has said that she's often falling asleep at her computer.
This might be getting a little rambley atp, but my point is that Kanade neglects her own needs in her determination to save others. I mentioned how she neglects her physical health in the last paragraph, but she also neglects her own feelings as well.
She minimizes her own problems or just doesn't even talk about them. I think she truly believes that her problems don't matter, that they only distract her from her goals. The reason she doesn't open up is likely because she herself doesn't believe her feelings are important at all. She doesn't pay them any mind, and she doesn't want anyone else to either.

Of course, I have to bring this card up. I think this is just a perfect visual representation of Kanade's feelings, and it's great foreshadowing for what's to come. Those feelings are buried deep within Kanade, yet to be addressed or solved. THIS is what we're getting into. Kanade, depicted as an angel, surrounded by death. I think this is related to her guilt surrounding what happened to her father, believing it was her fault. That she destroyed everything. But because of that incident, she told herself she has to keep composing, and never stop, in order to save people. She feels like she owes that much, and that that's her sole purpose. She won't allow herself to think otherwise. No matter how much it destroys her, she must be a savior for others.

Last thing I wanted to add, because I saw this reblog under a prev kanade analysis post, and they brought up great points. Especially how dangerous Kanade's composing grind can get. We wouldn't even have a story if Honami hadn't found Kanade unconscious!!! I think she might get to a really low point again like this, but having Mafuyu there especially, it won't be able to go unnoticed. I don't have much else to add to those tags though cus they speak for themselves đ
Finally, just real quickly going back to the little comic I drew, this is just a rough idea of how I think Kanade could act. She'll get noticeably worse, but will try to hide that fact from the others and deny any help from them. I also mentioned that I think we could see more aggression from her again, so I included that, as she feels threatened in a way by Mafuyu worrying about her. She can't let that happen. Also, Kanade's impending doom aside, I think this progression in the story may also spark some change in Mafuyu. She might show some more emotion in this or future events, and she may realize how much Kanade means to her, motivating her to do more for her. I think it'll be a full group effort to save Kanade, but I wanna see Mafuyu taking a bigger role in this. I just think this also has the potential to grow Mafuyu's character more.
Also, as for the Kanade crashout, I really don't know how they'll handle that. I can't really predict what they're gonna do with her climax. But I want her screaming yelling and crying !!! like she better go insaneeee đ and I also feel like they have a lot of potential with her seiyuu/VA and stepping out of the soft quiet voice to do some crazy shit, maybe in the songs too pls pls pls give us loud kanadeeee
OKAY THATS ENOUGH YAPPING its 5 am i havent slept....

Come Find Me | Bucky Barnes x Reader
I am back back back again! I have missed writing so much, I just don't have nearly the amount of time that I used to. But I'm in my last semester of school! So hopefully I'll be back on a consistent fanfic grind once I'm done :) PS: If you know what the title is referencing, you get a big hug from me.

Bucky checked his texts every few minutes. Initially, he lied to himself about the reason behind it. He told himself he mustâve opened his conversation with you accidentally, or that he mistook an email notification for a text from you. Simple, innocent mistakes.Â
Either way, he always ended up staring at your side of the conversation, hoping for a gray ellipsis to appear.Â
But after a while, he could no longer deny the truth- and why would he want to? You were coming home.Â
You hadnât been gone long, and your mission was projected to be a cake walk. But he couldnât help it; he missed you. He missed you when you went on missions, when you visited your parents out of state, when you slept in your room down the hall. Missing you was part of him now, woven into the fabric of his being. It matched the material of his soul perfectly, like he was always meant to feel this way.
He fired off a quick âlet me know when you landâ message and waited, hoping youâd write back soon.Â
Usually, you texted him when you were headed back to the compound. It gave him a countdown to your return and something to look forward to. It also signaled to him that you were, in fact, coming home alive. Even if a bit banged up, you were well enough to shoot him a message. And that always eased his worries.
Today, however, was different. No text, no call.
It struck him as bizarre and sounded Buckyâs internal alarms. But he silenced them as best he could. He wasnât going to let himself get worked up, not when you had a perfectly good reason for not messaging him. Â
This was your first time leading a mission with a new recruit under your wing. Bucky knew you devoted your full attention to your trainee, giving him absolutely everything you had. You took this position- as well as your pupilâs safety and success- very seriously. He knew you were probably busy helping your recruit learn a swath of new things, and who was he to interrupt?
Bucky opened the log and saw your jet had been marked as âincomingâ only minutes ago. A sigh of relief left his chest and eased his muscles. Sure, he wouldâve rather heard that information from you, but it didnât matter. Your jet would be here soon; he had no reason to worry.Â
The moment he saw that your jet was homeward bound, he lost the ability to think about anything else. He counted the minutes, the seconds. You had to be close, right? The log wouldnât have said âIncomingâ if you were still hours away.Â
To pass the time, he folded laundry, answered emails, reread a few chapters of The Hobbit- but he couldnât focus. He thought of you, only you. And no matter how hard he tried to distract himself, he couldnât hang around his room any longer. He couldnât stand it. He needed to be there when the jet landed. He needed to meet you on the steps of the aircraft and wrap you in a bear hug.Â
And there was no real harm in waiting near the hangar, was there? âIf anything,â he told himself, âItâs actually more convenient for her if I meet her there. That way, I can carry her bag- sheâs probably tired.âÂ
Anything to rationalize his desperate need to be near you.
He knew in his heart of hearts that you didnât need him to carry your bag or help you off the jet. But this lie was all the convincing he needed. Without hesitation, he ditched his room and set off down the hall, your impending homecoming pulling him forward.Â
It was in that moment he noticed just how far the elevator was from his room. The walk seemed to stretch on and on, the hallway growing longer with each step. And how had he never noticed how slowly the elevator moved? It slid downward at a glacial pace, toying with his patience. For such an expensive, state of the art building, the elevator moved like an ancient piece of turn of the century machinery. Bucky cursed Tonyâs engineering.Â
Everything seemed to add time, multiplying his moments without you. The universe liked toying with him, teasing him. And this was just another cruel joke.Â
The moment the doors opened, Bucky sprang free out into the hallway. He knocked into Clint and his group of trainees and called an apology over his shoulder without stopping. He couldnât stop, couldnât waste time- not when you could arrive at any moment.Â
His field of view narrowed into tunnel vision, only allowing for visualization of the path toward the hangar. He didnât greet his fellow team members or allow for distraction. You were his one-track mind. That is, until something stopped him.Â
âShit, sorry, man,â your trainee, Jake, laughed as he bumped into Bucky. He took a step to the side and attempted to continue down the hall, but Bucky blocked his path.Â
âJake?â Bucky eyed a bloody gash on Jakeâs eyebrow, âwhen did you guys get back?â
Jake gave a casual shrug and checked his phone, âI donât know, five minutes ago?â
âOh, okayâŚâ Bucky reached for his phone, but found his screen void of notifications. If you landed five minutes ago with your trainee safe and sound, why didnât you send him a message? It was out of character for you.Â
âWell, whereâs your partner in crime? Or crime fighting, I guess,â Bucky tried to joke, but his tone was strained. He eyed each person who came around the corner, hoping to find your face. âDid you see which way she went?â
âNah, sheâs not here,â Jake was scrolling through Instagram, only half paying attention.
Buckyâs disappointed sigh left his chest deflated, empty. âOh, did she say where she was going? Or when sheâd be back?â
Jake pulled his focus from his phone and stared at Bucky with confusion on his face. His brows pulled together, his mouth hung slightly ajar. But finally, he made sense of Buckyâs words. âOHHH, okay, my bad- I think there was a miscommunication just now.â
Bucky sighed again- this time, with relief.Â
âYeah, no, sheâs not here,â Jake continued, âbecause she didnât make it back.â
Buckyâs ears started ringing.Â
The sharp, piercing sound blocked out voices. Footsteps on the tile. Maybe Jake was trying to speak to him, but Bucky heard only the shrill sound of shock. Seconds later, his nerves fell numb. The utter absence of sensation disconnected him from his body. He was lost in a liminal atmosphere with no stability, no purchase. His entire being was shutting down, one sense at a time.
Bucky told himself to focus, to compute what heâd heard. He did his best to make sense of Jakeâs words, but to no avail. His mind simply couldnât understand the phrase âshe didnât make it backâ. The words had shed their meaning entirely and sounded foreign to Bucky as they rattled around his skull. Goosebumps rose over the surface of his skin, and a cold sweat created a sheen across his face. He feared he might get sick.Â
âI- Iâm sorry,â he forced himself back into his body, back to the present. âI donât think I understand.âÂ
âThings got pretty hairy- this was not the easy mission they said it would be,â Jake scoffed and rolled his eyes. âItâs not fair, I definitely got a way harder assignment for my first mission than all the other new agents, and I think itâs-âÂ
Buckyâs glare couldâve sliced Jake in half, âget to the point.â Â
âRight, um,â Jake continued, âI told her over comms that I was leaving. I gave her plenty of time to meet me at the jet, but she didnât answer. And she never came outside.â He shrugged, âI had to leave for my own safety.â
âSo, you just-â Bucky felt himself losing his grip. âYou left her there? Alone?â He didnât realize he was shouting, didnât realize heâd drawn attention to himself- until Agent Hill showed up.
She placed a light hand on Buckyâs tense shoulder, but instantly withdrew. He was shaking, practically vibrating under her palm. âIs there a problem here, guys? I donât want-â
âHe left her behind,â was all Bucky could manage.
Maria stared at Jake in disbelief, âyou did what?â
A strange mixture of rage and heartbreak seethed behind Buckyâs eyes, âYou donât just abandon your partner-â
Jakeâs attitude disgusted Bucky. He was detached, irritated. He rolled his eyes like an insolent child. âRelax, man. Jesus Christ, this isnât the army. I didnât promise to âleave no man behindâ or whatever-â
Bucky had heard enough. He lifted jake by the collar of his shirt, twisting the material in his metal fist. Jakeâs head sent a sickening thud resounding through the space as Bucky forced him against the nearest wall.
âWhat the fuck?â Jake squirmed in Buckyâs grasp, âThere are casualties in the field all the time, why am I being punished for-â
Bucky released Jake at once, sending him crashing to the floor.Â
His voice was quiet, hollow. âCasualties?â He swallowed hard, âIs she-â
Jake shrugged at he rubbed at the bruise forming on his neck. âI donât know, I assume so. I didnât stick around to find out.âÂ
And just like that, Bucky was gone.Â
He took off down the hall, forcing himself forward as a soul-crushing panic swallowed him whole. No matter how many times he blinked, no matter how fervently he shook his head, he couldnât rid his mind of the picture Jake painted for him. Each time he shut his eyes he saw you- alone. Your bloodied, broken body laying collapsed against a wall of a Hydra base. Your skin slick with blood. Your skin cold. Void of life.Â
He moved quickly, but not quick enough. He simply couldnât outrun the familiar feeling closing in on him. His heavy, well-worn cloak of grief wound its way across his shoulders and twisted itself around his neck. He knew the suffocating sensation all too well. It weighed him down but couldnât dampen his pace, nothing could; not when your life hung in the balance.Â
He was too well acquainted with loss by now, too familiar with mourning. Thereâd been a time when he wondered if heâd ever grieve again. Heâd lost his family, his friends, himself- what else was there? What more could he possibly lose? But the moment he met you, he knew heâd one day mourn again. He just didnât realize that time would come so soon.Â
A startling cold prickled at his skin, his lungs refused to inflate. How much time did you have left? How long would it take him to get to you? Were you even-
Hillâs voice yanked him out of his spiral, âBarnes, hey-â She made a grab at his shoulder, but her feeble attempt was no match for Buckyâs pace. âWhere are you going?â
âTo get her back.â Buckyâs tone was firm, resolute. He was going to bring you home or die trying.
âI donât think thatâs a good idea,â Hill nearly tripped over her own feet as she tried to keep up with Buckyâs long strides. âYou heard what Jake said, itâs a dangerous location- more dangerous than we thought. I think it might be best to wait it out for a few days, let things calm down and then-â
Bucky turned suddenly, stopping Maria in her tracks. âIâm not just going to leave her there.â
Maria shrunk away from the fierceness in his eyes, âI know youâre upset, but she might not be-â
âI donât care.â His gruff tone dissolved, making way for the fear heâd so desperately tried to hide. âWhether sheâs alive or-â he couldnât bring himself to voice the alternative.Â
Bucky knew what it was like to be assumed dead. He knew what it was like to be left in the field.Â
âShe deserves to come home,â he said.
Maria couldnât argue with him.Â
âRound up as many members of the med team as you can and have them meet me in the hangar. Weâre leaving in ten minutes- sooner if we can.â Bucky turned and resumed his previous path, âIâll be in the armory.â
Bucky grabbed as much weaponry as his duffel would carry without splitting at the seams and made his way to the hangar. He hoped to find ten, maybe fifteen members of the medical team waiting for him on the jet. He wasnât sure of your condition, didnât know how many breaths you had left. He wanted to give you the best possible chance at surviving the onslaught you endured.Â
But when he turned the corner into the hangar, he found only three scrub-clad bodies.Â
âIs this it?â Bucky boarded the jet and dropped his bag to the floor. He eyed the scant amount of medical support, their uncertain expressions. His hopes of bringing you home alive dwindled.
A nurse whoâd stitched Bucky up more times than he could count gave him a nervous smile. âThe med bay is swamped, the team could barely afford to let us come with you.âÂ
Bucky didnât want to hear it. He didnât want excuses or rationalizations. All he wanted was to bring you home with your heart still beating. And three medical professionals, he decided, was better than none.Â
The flight to your location only gave Bucky more time to worry. He obsessively checked his weaponry, hovered over the med teamâs supplies. But no amount of double and triple checking could save him from the spiral. He traveled down the path of every possible âwhat if?â, leading him only to heartache. No matter where he searched, he couldnât find a positive outcome. And though he didnât want to acknowledge the odds, he knew yours were slim- impossible, even.Â
And as the jet grew closer to your location, Bucky steeled himself for what he knew heâd find: you, his best friend, his reason for living, his everything- dead. Cold. Lifeless. None of the horrors he faced in the past could compare; no pain could ever be greater. Bucky knew heâd hurt for the rest of his life.
The clouds parted as the jet began its descent. Slowly, a large stone building appeared out of the fog like a monster in the horror movies you loved so much. It stood in an otherwise empty clearing, its shadow looming over the dying grass. Smoke billowed from holes in the roof, the walls. Whatever happened here was catastrophic. Disastrous.Â
Buckyâs heart sat lodged in his throat as he imagined you trapped in there. Goosebumps rose over the surface of his skin as he stared at the looming structure. He had to get you out, even if he died trying.
Just before the jet touched down, an idea popped into Buckyâs head. It scaled the high walls heâd tried to erect to protect himself from thoughts of your demise and grabbed him by the throat. It was smart- brilliant, actually. He was shocked he could even think straight given the circumstances.
âFRIDAY,â Bucky called out, âis comm 1209 working?â He shoved his own comm in his ear and waited for a response.Â
âComm 1209 is on and in range,â Friday said. âWould you like me to connect you?â
He couldnât say yes fast enough.
A few staticky clicks and pops vibrated against Buckyâs eardrum as his comm connected to yours. But he was too scared to speak. What if you didnât answer? What if he heard you take your dying breaths? Just the thought was enough to make him sick.
He owed it to you, though, to at least try. Heâd always said heâd do anything for you, that heâd risk it all for you- and he meant it every time. If reaching out to you over comms exposed him to something horrible, something traumatic and unforgettable, at least he tried. At least he attempted to keep his promise. And after everything heâd been through, what was one more life-shattering, soul-crushing nightmare?
âH- umâŚâ Bucky swallowed the large lump obstructing his throat. âHello?â He waited a moment, holding his breath the entire time, and tried again. âHello?â
He waited.Â
No response.
âDoll? Itâs me. Itâs BuckyâŚâÂ
The dead silence on the other end of the line dragged on. It seemed like his words disappeared into the air, unacknowledged. Unheard. Maybe the sound of his voice was reverberating inside your ear as you lay dying. Or maybe he was talking to your corpse.
 The thought made him nauseous.
âPlease, sweetheart. If youâre there- if youâre able- just say one word. Say anything,â he pled. A long bout of silence followed.
He clenched and released his metal fist again and again, desperate to rid himself of the panic settling into his bones. He was stupid to think you survived, stupid to let himself be optimistic. He made it here as quickly as he could, but he couldnât save you. He was too late.Â
He wanted to take one of his many weapons and turn it on himself.Â
But a small sound stopped him.
âBuckâŚâ
He almost fell to his knees. At the sound of your voice, an overwhelming warmth banished the cold that infiltrated his bones. Against all odds, you were alive.
A deep sigh of relief seeped from Buckyâs lungs, âSweetheartâŚâÂ
A hurricane of emotion rattled against the storm doors inside Buckyâs mind. He couldnât stop thinking about the âalmostsâ. How he almost lost you, how you almost died alone in a Hydra base. But he couldnât allow it to swallow him- not yet. There was no time for a breakdown. He needed to move, he needed to get to you.Â
He shrugged off the grief that rested heavy on his shoulders and swallowed the impending sob that vibrated inside his throat. âIâm here- Iâm gonna come get you. Just tell me where-â
A staunch refusal came from your end of the comm, âNo- noâŚâ You took a sharp, rattling breath, âno way.â
Bucky didnât like the way you had to fight to get your words out. You were clearly struggling, doing everything in your power to stay on this side of consciousness. He wondered how much time you had left.
But still, there was a familiar strength to your voice. Maybe it was the adrenaline, maybe it was the renewed hope of rescue; something was keeping you alive.Â
âItâs okay, sweetheart, just tell me where you are. The jet just landed. Iâm gonna get you out and-â
âI said- I said no,â you breathed. âYou canât c-come in here, itâs too dangerous⌠we were a-ambushed.â
Even in your condition, even when Bucky was your only hope of rescue, his safety was your first thought. Youâd rather die alone than put Buckyâs life at risk; the thought made his cheeks pink and filled his chest with a fuzzy warmth. But he didnât have time to enjoy the feeling.
âIf you donât tell me where you are, Iâll just sweep the whole building,â Bucky said, using your worry against you. âThat means more opportunities for me to run into Hydra operatives. More time inside the base- itâll be way more dangerous.â He could practically see you rolling your eyes, âso itâs probably better if you just give me a direct route, donât you think?â
Bucky smiled to himself as he envisioned you on the other end. He was certain you were arguing with yourself, cursing his rationale.Â
He waited for you to come at him with a sharp retort or a sarcastic quip but heard nothing. The silence on your end of the line dragged on. And on. It lasted far too long for Buckyâs comfort. Surely, you couldnât still be thinking about his proposition? Heâd given you more than enough time to make up your mind, more than enough time to come up with a response. It was time you didnât have.Â
What if youâd fallen unconscious? What if, in those quiet moments, your soul vacated this earth?
Bucky couldnât take it anymore. He disembarked the jet, resolving to search every inch of the base. But just as he reached the dark, unsettling building, you spoke.
âF-fifteenth floor. Northeast⌠northeast quadrant,â you sighed, defeated. âThereâs a- a room at the end of this hall, I think itâs maybe an office?â Again, you took a long pause. The energy required to think, to speak, was energy you didnât have. âJust f-follow the trail of blood.â
Buckyâs breath caught in his throat. He shuddered at the thought of your blood leaving a path down the stark white, sterile hallways of the base. But he didnât have time to focus on anything other than getting you out; this was a rescue. He owed it to you to keep his head level. To focus on getting you out as quickly as he could.Â
âThe power is⌠itâs outâ, you said. âYouâre gonna h-have to take-âÂ
Bucky wanted to save you from wasting any extra energy, âThe stairs. Got it.âÂ
And while he normally didnât mind getting a few extra steps in, he knew the time required to climb fifteen flights of stairs would push the limits of your survival.Â
But he pushed the ever-encroaching sense of doom to the side and put on a brave face for you. For himself. âOkay, Iâm coming to get you,â he promised. âStay awake, and donât move.â
âAs if I h-have a choice,â you laughed a breathy, hollow laugh. A long groan followed.Â
Your pain radiated through Buckyâs chest. He didnât want to climb stairs or scour hallways- he just wanted to be there. To instantly materialize at your side. To bring you instantaneous comfort. He lamented the super soldier serumâs lack of teleportation abilities.Â
âYou know what I mean, doll. Just stay awake, okay?â Bucky drew his gun and stepped inside the building. âDonât fall asleep. Do anything you have to do- just stay awake. Can you keep talking until I get there?â
âW-what am IâŚâ You let out a raspy exhale, âsupposed to talk about?â
Bucky cleared a long hallway and found the stairwell, âAnything, just keep talking.â
Another extended silence filled the air; it nearly drove Bucky crazy. Your silences held limitless possibilities, horrifying âwhat ifsâ.
âIt w-wasnât supposed to be⌠to be like this,â you finally said. âIt wasnât supposed to be this dangerous. This was Jakeâs first mission- it wasnât f-fair to him.â Heartache coated your every word. Even after your partner abandoned you, even after Jake forced you to suffer and bleed all alone- you still sympathized with him. Still felt sorry for him.Â
Bucky felt no such thing.
âI know, doll. Keep talking, okay?â
You sighed. âWe s-split up for recon⌠thatâs when they- when they came at me.â Your next few breaths were so shallow, your lungs barely inflated; the lack of oxygen left you dizzy. A thin veil of glittering spots sparkled and danced on the edges of your periphery. âIt all h-happened so fast⌠there were so many of them. I just- I remember pain. And I hoped Jake was okay, w-wherever he was.â
Your heart was too good for this job. For people like Jake. Bucky admired your kindness, your empathy, your selfless nature. Even in the face of pain, of death- you thought about others. You often told Bucky how unfair life had been to him, lamenting his treatment at the hands of fate. Bucky found himself doing the same for you and your kind heart.
âI called out for h-him, I needed backup⌠I kept asking him to come help me-â A sharp cough rattled out of your throat.Â
Bucky cringed at the sound. It was the only sound in the building. He hadnât heard anyone else. Hadnât seen one Hydra operative- at least, not a live one. He came across their bodies every now and again but didnât see a single living soul. He was sure they deserted after the explosion. Just like Jake.Â
The destruction, however, was everywhere. Bullet casings littered the floor. Blood stained the tile floors. Fluorescent lights flickered overhead. He had to get you out of here.
âBut he n-never answered. And then he told me he was leaving. He said he was- he was outside already. He gave me n-ninety seconds to meet him at the jetâŚâ Your words were tinged with devastation, with hopelessness, with betrayal. âI tried- I did my best to make it down the stairs. But I was- I was dizzy⌠I was b-bleeding.â The memory stung like your fresh wounds. âI kept slipping on- on my own blood. I just c-couldnât move fast enough. It hurt too much.â
Wrath burned inside Bucky like a raging forest fire. But his utter heartbreak doused it completely, extinguishing the rageful flames. He found himself unable to think, to breathe. It took everything in him to keep moving forward. Who could ever leave you behind like that? Who could ignore your suffering and sentence you to death without a second thought? The image of you stumbling, struggling to run for your life gutted him.
âAnd then- and then I heard the jet t-take off,â you sighed. âAnd I listened as it got farther and farther away⌠until it was g-gone. And I was- I was alone.â
He thought of you sitting alone in cold silence as the noise from the jet quieted. As your hope dwindled. The entire base mustâve felt like a tomb, like a massive, lonely grave meant just for you.Â
Bucky almost fell to his knees. Sobs throttled the inside of his chest, begging for release. Tears burned inside his lash line. Jake didnât just leave you behind, he marooned you without care. And in his departure, he sealed your fate.Â
âI d-didnât have a way to call for⌠for help. My phone was on the j-jet with jake.â
The sorrow that stained your words was all too familiar to Bucky. It was the same hopelessness that accompanied him every day that he was at Hydra. When he laid in the snow for hours upon hours after falling from the train. He never wished that kind of despondency, that kind of  misery on anyone. And knowing that you, the person who deserved it the least, experienced it for even a moment shattered him.
âI realized I⌠I didnât h-have any options,â you breathed.Â
A collapsed column blocked Buckyâs path as he tried to make his way from the sixth floor to the seventh. The concrete was too high, too precarious to scale. If he tried to climb it and got hurt, it would only serve to diminish your chances of survival. And he wasnât willing to risk that. With a huff, Bucky exited the northwest stairwell in search of another route. This was a waste of time- time you didnât have.Â
He painstakingly checked every hall until he finally found another stairwell. His breathing came a little easier as he rocketed his way up the stairs, growing ever closer to you.
âSo, I found this- this room. Itâs quiet. Itâs out of the w-way. I needed somewhere to hide. S-somewhere toâŚâ A small crack of emotion cut through your voice, âsomewhere to die.â
It wasnât fair. It wasnât fair that Jake got to return home safe and sound while you struggled to stay alive. It wasnât fair that you had to seek out your own deathbed. Bucky wanted to scream, to break things, to spill every last drop of Jakeâs blood. But he was a soldier, and this was a rescue mission.
âThis seemed like as g-good a place as any,â you choked on a weak laugh. âBeats dying in the middle of a h-hallway, I guess.â
Buckyâs automatic response was to swear that youâd make it out. To promise that you werenât going to die. But he bit his tongue. He couldnât make those kinds of assurances. Heâd do anything to bring you comfort but swearing that youâd return home alive seemed almost cruel.Â
He pushed himself to move faster. He couldnât let you die alone, especially not in this godforsaken place. As he sprinted up the last flight of stairs and ripped open the door to the fifteenth floor, he struggled to orient himself. You were in the northeast quadrant, but where was he? He searched for anything to indicate his location- but found no signage. No directory.Â
Everything inside of him rattled with dread, with anxiety. Any moment now, you were going to die. You were going to take your last breath. All alone. A thick, suffocating wave of panic crashed over Bucky as he realized- you were going to die disappointed. You were going to leave this world knowing that he hadnât gotten to you in time.
It was then that he noticed a faded arrow painted on the wall, with âNEQâ painted below it in block letters. Northeast quadrant. He was closer than he thought.
âIâm gonna be there in just a second, doll,â he said as he followed the arrows.  âI think Iâm right around the corner.âÂ
This was just his way of making you feel better, you were sure of it. The hallways were long and winding. Each floor was a maze of its own. Even with your vague instructions, it could take him a while to find you. Still, Buckyâs words brought you comfort in the way that only he could.
âI know, I t-trustâŚâ A metallic taste filled your mouth. A warm ooze trickled down your chin and dripped onto your chest. The warm, fuzzy feeling brought on by Buckyâs assurances faded. Of course, you knew you were in bad shape. But as blood leaked from your mouth, you wondered if these were your last moments.
Instantly, you searched for the words to say goodbye to Bucky. Time was slipping through your fingers, life draining from your body with each passing second. But before you drifted off into a never-ending sleep, you had to tell Bucky what he meant to you. Youâd use all your strength, your last few breaths- whatever it took. He just had to know.Â
But how does one say goodbye to a soulmate? You didnât have the energy or capacity to make a grandiose speech. And the blood filling your mouth impeded your ability to speak. You wanted to tell bucky everything- how he comforted you, cared for you, made your life worth living. How your life revolved around him as though he were your personal sun. But nothing quite encapsulated the things you felt for him. Every word in the English language, every sonnet fell short. And the lack of oxygen getting to your brain sabotaged your phrasing.
âBuck, I think itâs⌠I think itâs almost t-time,â you rasped.
But just as you opened your blood-stained mouth to proclaim every feeling you ever had for him, the door flew open. Alarm coursed through your veins at the threat. Surely, a Hydra agent had stumbled upon your hiding place and was here to finish you off. The severe blood loss was no match for your training, thought. And, on instinct, you pulled your gun on the tall, dark silhouette standing in the doorway.
âWoah, hey!â Bucky raised his hands in surrender. âItâs me, itâs just me.â
At the sound of his voice, your arm fell limp. Your gun clattered to the floor. Your head lolled back against the wall. It had taken everything in you to try and protect yourself one last time. And now that your energy reserves were nearly depleted, you allowed your eyes to close.
âS-sorryâŚâ A barely-there smile pulled at your lips. âMy⌠my bad, Buck.â
âNo, donât be sorry, doll.âÂ
Bucky knelt in front of you, taking in your broken, bloodied body. Heâd seen carnage before, witnessed more death than anyone should. But this, you- it was different. It hurt in places he didnât know he had. But he didnât let it show. Knowing you, youâd spend your last few moments comforting him, trying to make him feel better. And so, he forced a warm smile and tabled his breakdown for the moment.
âIâm actually impressed. I mean, you might be hurt, but you were ready to take me out just now,â he forced a chuckle. âThatâs my girl.â His cool metallic hand brushed against your blood-stained cheek.Â
And in that moment, something within you changed. Your eyes shot open. You blinked a few times before forcing your eyes shut once again. You gave your head a few good shakes. Surely, this wasnât real- it couldnât be.Â
You opened your eyes wide once again, taking him in. âBucky?â
With one shaking hand, you reached for him in the most pathetic attempt heâd ever seen. You were weak, dangerously so; it scared him to his core. But you were alive.Â
He leaned in, meeting you in the middle, and let you stroke at his stubble for a moment.
âYeah, Iâm here,â he kissed your palm. âIâm so happy to see you.â
âYouâreâŚâ you other hand reached for him, but made it only a centimeter or two before falling into your lap. Bucky opted to take it in his. âYouâre here?â
He nodded, âI could never leave you behind, sweetheart.â
He may have continued speaking after that, but you didnât quite hear him. The emotion youâd tried so hard to swallow came bursting forward, crushing your every attempt at remaining levelheaded. Your fingers smoothed over Buckyâs cheek again and again. His name fell from your lips in what resembled a prayer. Tears rolled down your cheeks and mixed with the blood crusting over your skin.Â
A soft, warm wave of peace rolled in, covering you like a well-loved quilt. The pain disappeared; the sorrow evaporated. All that remained was Bucky. This was the warm spring that followed a dark, bitter winter. The first rays of sun after a vicious storm. The first taste of home after a long time away. You let the familiar warmth of Buckyâs presence drown out the rest of the world until only you two remained.
âSweetheart, did you hear me?â With a gentle squeeze of your hand, Bucky called you back to the present. âI need to look at your wound, okay?â
A sharp rush of pain nearly blinded you as you lifted your shirt, exposing the bloody mess. But even as Bucky appraised the gunshot wound that turned your abdomen into horror scene, you couldnât find it in you to worry. Your hands lazily found his shoulder, his chest, his face; you just wanted to touch him. To know, without a doubt, that he was there. That he was real.
âHey, we⌠we need to t-talk,â you whispered as Bucky did his best to quickly bandage your wound for transport. âI n-need to talk- to talk to youâŚâ
Bucky nodded, âsure thing, doll. Absolutely. We can talk about whatever you want. But right nowâŚâ he returned your shirt to its rightful position and met your gaze. âRight now, I need to get you out to the jet, okay? We can talk later.â
He guided your arms around his neck, lifted you into his arms, and moved as fast as he could through the winding hallways. His quick gait set your nerves alight with pain. Every bump, every jostle had you gasping for breath. And though it was a necessary evil, the guilt still sat in Buckyâs stomach like a rock. His repeated âIâm sorrysâ were nearly constant, doubling with your every grimace and groan. But he couldnât slow down, couldnât let the time slip away; you didnât have much left.
Between pained sounds and twisted expressions of discomfort, you said the same thing on a loop. Again and again and again, you pled with him, using energy you didnât have.Â
âWe need to⌠to t-talk.â
âI h-have to tell you.â
âCan I talk to y-you about- about something?â
And though Bucky wouldâve loved nothing more than to have a long heart to heart with you as you two often did, you werenât strong enough. He couldnât let you waste your finite energy on a conversation with him. And so, he responded to each of your requests with an ask of his own, begging you to save your strength. He promised that the two of you could talk tomorrow, that there was plenty of time for a conversation later.Â
But âplenty of timeâ almost seemed like an empty promise. And âtomorrowâ felt like a lie. Would you have a âlaterâ? He didnât know. But he didnât want you wasting your oxygen, not when he feared it might be your last breath.
Boarding the jet with you alive in his arms almost felt like a win to Bucky. Almost. Sure, heâd gotten you out with your heart still beating, but your condition worsened by the second. And the grave looks the med team wore as Bucky gently rested you on the treatment table dug a deep pit in his stomach.Â
They sprang into action, placing IVs and delivering medications. Scissors glided through your shirt and exposed your broken body to the med team. Bucky knew theyâd seen their share of gnarly injuries over the years, but he swore that they recoiled at the sight of your wounds.Â
With a shake of his head, Bucky refocused. He had to get you out of there- to get you home. He headed for the controls and planned to set the jet in motion. But he made it only a step toward the cockpit before a hand caught his.
âS-stayâŚâ you whispered. âPlease.â
His heart shattered. âIâm not leaving you, doll, IÂ promise. I just have to get us in the air, okay?â With great care, he placed a kiss to your hand and set it at your side. âIâll be back in just a minute.â
Buckyâs body operated on muscle memory alone as he initiated take off. His mind was occupied, completely and totally, by the sound of your weak voice begging him not to leave. The sound played on a loop inside his brain, cutting him deeper each time. Youâd already been abandoned once today; he was certain you feared it would happen again.Â
With a deep breath and a quick reset, Bucky did what he had to do. He needed to be on his A-game for you, needed to be his very best. Only a few hours ago, youâd trusted someone with your life, and they failed you. Bucky wasnât about to do the same. He worked carefully to chart the fastest route back to the compound, opting to forego FRIDAYâs proposed path. It kept him from your side longer than he wouldâve liked, but less time in the air seemed like the best option. The sooner he could get you to the med bay, with its massive, brilliant medical staff and unlimited resources, the better.Â
Just as he finalized the flight plan and asked FRIDAY to notify the med bay of your impending arrival, an unsettling sound pulled his focus. It was an ominous beeping, alarming your care team of a sudden, life-threatening change.Â
Gloved hands moved at lightning speed; voices yelled medical jargon back and forth. And you laid there on the table. No heartbeat. No respirations. Deathly still.Â
Bucky stood on the periphery, too horrified to get any closer.Â
He thought it best, of course, to stay out the med teamâs way. But knew deep down it was an excuse. He was simply too terrified to lose you. If he got closer, if he saw you struggling to stay alive, all of this would suddenly become real. And he couldnât handle that.Â
âBarnes!â A nurse screamed at him, âdid you hear me?â
Bucky forced himself back to the present. âNo⌠I, um-â
âShe has no pulse- get over here, we need you to do compressions!â
Buckyâs desperate need to help you, to save you, overpowered his fear. And in an instant, he was at your side. He loomed over you, his hands locked together, preparing to help resuscitate you. But once again, his fear reared its ugly head. You were already so badly injured, so weak. And he was far too strong. What if he made your condition worse? What if he-
âCome on!â The nurse yelled at him, âstart compressions-Â now!â
He did as he was told. He pressed into your body with a measured pressure, careful not to crush your chest. But his cautious compressions didnât cut it. The nurses instructed him to push harder. To âactually compressâ your chest- and Bucky followed instructions.Â
But as he did so, a sickly snapping sound exploded from your body. Bucky recoiled instantly; his face contorted in horror.
âWhat are you doing? Keep going!â
âIÂ canât- I think I broke her ribs,â Bucky shouted at the doctor. âWhat do I do?â
âKeep going!â The nurse yelled, âIt happens- just keep going.â
Bucky broke out into a cold sweat. His stomach turned at the thought of hurting you, of causing you even more pain; youâd been through enough as it was. But he did as he was told. With each round of compressions, he swore he created new fractures. He felt every splinter, every crack as he put pressure on your chest.Â
He wanted to sever every last nerve-ending in his hand; anything to rid him of the sickening sensation creeping through his palm. But if doing this saved you, it was worth the nightmares.
He watched as the two nurses provided your supplemental breaths and tended to your endlessly bleeding wound. The doctor called âclearâ every so often, shocking you with a defibrillator in an attempt to restore your heartbeat.
Round after round of compressions, breathing, and shocks passed by without signs of improvement. You remained lifeless, unresponsive. A syringe of epinephrine delivered straight to your chest did nothing. And Bucky felt what little hope he had slipping through the cracks in your ribs. He couldnât believe he was about to lose you; couldnât believe heâd have to watch you die. Hot tears blurred his vision and streaked down his cheeks. His legs went numb. At any second, he knew his knees would give out, knew heâd crumble to the floor under the crushing weight of grief.
The doctor deemed the next shock your last, and Bucky almost doubled over.Â
âCome on, doll, just-â He swallowed a sob, âjust stay. Stay. Do it for me, Iâm begging you. Please?â
The doctor called one last âclearâ and delivered your final shock, only to be met with the rhythmic beeping of your heart monitor.
âSinus rhythm restored,â announced the nurse to Buckyâs left. She appraised the waves on your EKG and gave a nod. âSheâs stable.â
After what felt like an eternity, Bucky took a breath. He stretched his tense fingers and did his best to  relax the rock-hard knots forming in his shoulders. A new crop of hope bloomed cautiously inside his chest, but he couldnât allow it to blossom and flourish just yet. You werenât out of the woods; there was a very real possibility that your heart might stop again. And he wasnât sure how many times the doctor could revive you before throwing in the towel.
Less than a minute after Buckyâs cautious optimism sprouted anew, a soul crushing sight dashed it completely. A sharp gasp filled his lungs, a shudder rocked his frame. Shades of deep, dark blue bloomed under the skin of your chest. Black and purple splotches stained your sternum. Some spots were already starting to swell. He extended a hand in your direction but recoiled in an instant, fearing heâd hurt you yet again.Â
âHappens all the time,â one of the nurses said with a shrug. âBelieve me, broken ribs are the least of her worries.â
Somehow, her words didnât make him feel any better. He ached to hold your hand, to sweep a gentle caress across your cheek. But he didnât dare touch you after what he did. Every glimpse of your bruised, swollen chest sent bile rushing into his throat.Â
The three dedicated members of the med team worked tirelessly for the rest of the flight. They did everything in their power to keep your condition steady, to maintain the life they worked so hard to save. It brought Bucky comfort to see them staying so close, ready to jump into action if need be. Â
Bucky, like the med team, hovered. He couldnât bring himself to leave your side. You seemed too fragile, your condition too tenuous. He counted your every breath, took stock of every beat of your heart on the monitor. Stepping away for even a second felt wrong. He needed to be there if you crashed again, if the doctor needed extra hands. He needed to be there to help.
And if you woke up, he wanted to be the first face you saw.Â
But you didnât wake. A groan here, a muscle twitch there- that was all you could spare. And though Bucky wanted nothing more than to see you open your eyes, he thanked the universe for keeping you unconscious. He knew tsunamis of pain rippled in the wings, waiting to overtake you the second you woke.
Bucky held his breath as the jet landed. Every jarring bump, every vibration, forced his heart into his throat. He feared that even the slightest impact would send you into cardiac arrest. He flicked his eyes from the rising and falling of your chest to the rhythmic flashing of your heart monitor and back again. Nothing changed, no alarms sounded. And when the jet finally stilled, Bucky breathed a deep sigh of relief. He just needed to get you to the med bay for treatment, and this whole nightmare would be over.Â
He didnât like being optimistic. It felt like a set-up, like false hope. If he told himself youâd survive and you didnât, the fall would be that much harder, that much more devastating.Â
But being realistic wasnât any better. Telling himself that you were too far gone, that you werenât going to make it, felt wrong. To him, it seemed like he was cursing you. Like willing your death into existence. Like begging the universe to end your life.Â
And so, he opted for a neutral mantra. âSheâs home,â he told himself. âSheâs home. Sheâs home. Sheâs home.â
The distance to the medbay felt longer than usual. The hallways seemed to stretch on forever, the double doors to the triage center seemed to grow farther and farther away. Bucky followed your gurney closely, only allowing a few inches of space between the two of you. He couldnât be separated from you again. He wouldnât. He needed to be with you every second, watching over you.Â
A dark cloud of impending doom loomed over his psyche. It whispered to him, telling him that if he left your side, if he let you out of his sight, youâd die. Youâd be gone forever. And it would be his fault. He knew it was nonsense, that this was just his anxiety operating on overdrive. But he couldnât shake the fear. And risking it wasnât an option.
âNo visitors past this point,â a security guard placed an arm in front of Bucky as he tried to enter the triage unit.
Bucky tried to go around the man, watching as the medical staff carried you farther out of reach. âIâm not a visitor, Iâm an agent-âÂ
âNo agents past this point, then,â the guard rolled his eyes. âOnly patients and medical staff. You can have a seat over there.â
A small table sat against the wall, flanked by two chairs. It was a sad, makeshift excuse for a waiting room that operated as a device to keep people from hanging around. But bucky couldnât be discouraged. He took a seat in one of the chairs, determined to wait there as long as he had to. He knew heâd missed a number of important phone calls by now, and probably several meetings. But he didnât care; all that mattered was you.Â
Dread circled Bucky like a buzzard as he waited. It was taking too long- why was it taking so long? How much time did the medical staff need? You were stable when the jet landed, the nurse said so. Why were there no updates? All Bucky needed was a nod, a bit of information. But he remained in the dark, wondering if you died on the operating table.
Maria found Bucky slumped in a chair with a zombie-like air about him. He was expressionless, his gaze hollow. His palms traced the same track up and down his thighs in a never-ending cycle. One look and she knew: something was very wrong.
âHey,â she called softly, hoping not to startle him.
But Bucky didnât respond- he didnât even react. He just sat there, his unblinking stare burning a hole in the tile. An uneasiness enveloped Maria. Sheâd never seen Bucky so empty, so despondent. As she stared at him, she found herself fearing the worst. âMaybe he just received terrible newsâ she thought. âMaybe heâs grievingâ.
âHey,â she tried again, nudging her foot against his.Â
He came back to life with a start. A sharp inhale filled his chest, his eyes blinked wildly. But his palms never stopped moving in their endless cycle against his tactical pants. And he never actually looked at her.
âHiâŚâ he breathed.Â
Hill took the seat opposite him. She conjured the gentlest, warmest tone she could find, âis everything okay?â
Bucky balled his hands into tight fists and stretched them out again. Maria noticed blood- your blood- crusting under his fingernails and staining his skin. But before she could get a good look, he grabbed the arms of the chair. His palms rubbed fervently against the plastic handles for a moment until they moved to his face. He ran his hands along his jaw, his spiky stubble poking into his skin.
âBarnes, what happened? Are you-â
Finally, his head snapped in her direction, âI can still feel itâŚâ
âFeel what?â
Buckyâs head fell into his hands. He pressed his palms against his eyes and dragged them down his face. Maria watched him fall apart in slow motion. He seemed to be unraveling, one cell at a time. And when he finally spoke, shame made his words almost unintelligible.Â
âShe crashed on the jetâŚâ
âOh...â Maria did her best to keep a calm, even tone. Her concern for you vibrated in her chest, but she didnât dare let it free- not when Bucky was moments away from a meltdown. âIs she-â
âThe med team needed help. There werenât enough of them- they needed me to do chest compressions,â Bucky said, his voice low. âAnd I broke- I crushed her ribs.âÂ
A sharp shudder rocked his entire body. Just thinking of that moment, when his too-strong hands destroyed your chest, was enough to make him sick. To scar him for life. To haunt him. Of all the horrible things heâd done in over the years, this was the worst. He gave his hands a quick shake, hoping to rid his nerve endings of the sensation.
âI felt her bones snapping under my hands,â Buckyâs words dripped with shame. âAnd I can still⌠I still feel it.â
âOkay,â Maria said gently. âWell, if she-â
âShe was already in such bad shape,â Bucky swiped a tear from his cheek. âAnd IâŚÂ I hurt her. I made it so much worse.âÂ
His head fell into his hands once again and did not reemerge.Â
âHey, look at me,â Maria gave his arm a gentle touch.Â
Bucky only shook his head.Â
âCome on, Barnes, just look at me for a second.â
Again, he refused.Â
Maria abandoned her chair and sat instead on the small table. She never got this close to Bucky. Usually, she preferred to give him his space. He wasnât the touchy-feely type- unless you were around. But he was lost in a shame spiral, adrift with no hope of return. And he needed rescuing. She placed her hands on his and gently removed them from his face.Â
âYou saved her life,â Maria said. âTwice. You rescued her from the base, and when the med team needed help, you came through.â
âBut I-â
âDid it work?â Maria asked, her tine almost stern. âDid the chest compressions work?â
Bucky nodded.Â
Maria gave him a shrug, âThatâs all that matters. She can recover from a few broken ribs, but if you hadnât been there-âÂ
Bucky averted his gaze as his eyes filled with tears.Â
âHey,â Maria grabbed his face, bringing his focus back to her. âIf you hadnât been there, sheâd be dead.â
Mariaâs words fought hard against the demeaning voice that lived inside Buckyâs head. It screamed at him, telling him that he shouldnât believe her, that he was a monster, that he almost killed you. Usually, Bucky allowed his inner demons to run free. He listened to them without pause, believing anything and everything they told him, no matter how vile. But Maria was steadfast and unshakable in her sentiments; she truly believed what she was saying. And by some miracle, Bucky did, too.
âThanksâŚâ He granted her a hollow smile and a small nod.Â
Hill sat in silence with him for a few hours. She didnât try to make small talk or ask what was going on inside his head. She simply existed near him, sharing the space so that he didnât have to be alone. She ignored important texts and sent every call to voicemail. She knew it was exactly what youâd do for him, if you were able. And she did her best to fill your shoes.
Abruptly, Buckyâs head snapped in her direction. His pulse thrummed against his skin as a new wave of anxiety crashed over him. âShe kept sayingâŚâ he sighed. âShe kept saying we needed to talk. She wanted to talk to me about something.â
Maria cocked her head to the side, âAbout what?â
He shrugged. âI told her we could talk later because there would be plenty of time,â Buckyâs words grew shaky. He found himself near tears for what felt like the millionth time that day. Guilt sucker punched him. âWhat if⌠what if there isnât more time for us? What if that was all we were ever going to get? What if-â
âYouâll get more time,â Maria said with certainty. âThe universe has a way of evening things out. You were robbed of time once; it wonât happen again. Plus, youâre deserved some fucking karmic retribution- youâre owed this.â
Bucky wondered how she could be that sure of something so ethereal. But she was steady, solid as a rock. She didnât waver in her words or add caveats at the end. She, somehow, knew it to be true. And Bucky couldnât help but believe her.
But when Fury called her for the eighth time, she knew quiet time was over.
âI have to go, okay? Fury canât do anything without me, heâs hopeless.â She stood from her seat and rested a hand on Buckyâs shoulder. âCall if you need anything.â
Bucky thanked her a million times over and, for the first time, gave Maria a hug. She would never know how much her reassurances helped him. Sheâd pulled him from the ledge and gave him what he desperately needed: perspective.
In the hours that followed, he let her words play on a constant loop inside his mind. âIf you hadnât been there, sheâd be dead,â he heard her say. âYouâll get more time.â The sickening feeling of your bones snapping under his strength never faded, and the fear of losing you still had him in a chokehold, but Mariaâs words quieted his mind.Â
In the sad, empty waiting room, time seemed to mutate. Some of the hours dragged, others whizzed by. Bucky wasnât sure how long heâd been there. Was it ten hours? Or twenty? He didnât really care. Heâd wait lifetimes for you.Â
He saw the security guards change shifts once, twice. It was the only thing alerting him to the passage of time, as part of him believed it was standing still. On the third shift change, they told him to go home.Â
âTheyâll call you if thereâs an updateâ, said one of the guards. âItâd probably be a good idea for you to go get some sleep, or something.â
Bucky knew he looked like hell. Your blood left crimson streaks across his face and neck. And the dark circles he usually wore under his eyes were a deep shade of plum. But he couldnât leave, he couldnât sleep. Not when your life hung in the balance. Not when you needed him.Â
A few more hours passed with no news, and Bucky found himself teetering on the edge of insanity. An angry, desperate voice bellowed inside his head. It told him to bust through the doors and find you, no matter what it took- even if it meant hurting people in the process. The gun secured to his hip and the knife strapped to his ankle became eerily attractive. His hands itched to reach for the weapons, to hold someone at gun point until they allowed him to see you. But he couldnât to give in to the fear, to the violence. It took him years of therapy and long talks with you to stop seeing himself as a monster- and he refused to destroy the progress you helped him make.Â
A doctor stepped out of the double doors and looked in Buckyâs direction, âSergeant Barnes?â Â
Bucky was on his feet before he knew what hit him. This was it. After what felt like an eternity of not knowing whether you lived or died, he was about to have an answer. Sweat dampened his palm, his brow as he stood in front of your doctor.Â
He didnât know he was even capable of this kind of fear, this kind of agony. And though he was an impossibly strong physical specimen, Bucky knew heâd never be able to lift the weight of the grief that followed your loss. He knew that, if you died, heâd spend the rest of his life dragging himself from place to place, unable to stand, unable to push back against the overwhelming, oppressive force of losing you.Â
Your doctor spoke quickly and professionally about your condition, but the words turned to mush the second they reached Buckyâs brain. The combination of medical jargon and pure panic made their meanings imperceptible. But one phrase managed to cut through the fog of Buckyâs anxiety and exhaustion: âyou can see her now.â
And just like that, Bucky took off. His fatigued body did its best to carry him through the halls, stumbling every now and then on the smooth tile of the hospital floors. But he didnât dare slow down. He had to get to you.Â
By the time he reached the door to your room, he found himself shaking- almost shivering- with anxiety. He knew you were alive, of course. Knew that the doctors had been successful in saving your life. But something in him doubted their handiwork. Something in him swore that if he didnât get to you in the next half second, youâd flatline. Again.Â
He could practically feel his brain rattling around inside his skull, his teeth chattered against one another. And the sharp tremors in his hands made it nearly impossible to get a grip on the door handle. Panic and frustration coursed through him as the he tried again and again to gain entry to your room with no luck. A strangled sob forced its way out of his chest and caught the attention of a nurse- one of the nurses who helped keep you alive on the jet.Â
âHeyâŚâ Her eyes drifted to Buckyâs shaking hands. âNeed some help?â Before Bucky could answer, sheâd abandoned the medication she was prepping, discarded her gloves, and made her way to his side.
âHere, let me.â Her soft, sympathetic tone was almost too kind; Buckyâs eyes blurred with tears. She turned the door handle and gestured for Bucky to go inside.
His âthank youâ was for more than just the door.Â
Bucky took a few steps inside and drew in a sharp breath; heâd never seen you in such severe condition. Over the many hours that Bucky waited for you outside, all of your bruises grew darker, more menacing. They stained your throat, your face, your arms. He didnât even want to think about the ones on your chest- the ones he caused. Dried blood crusted in your hair and formed a path down the side of your face. It sat caked under your fingernails and rested in the creases of your palms. Thankfully, your gunshot wound was covered by gauze and concealed by your gown. But knowing it was there was enough to make Bucky sick. He, of course, witnessed and inflicted, his fair share of carnage over the years. But he knew your wound would haunt him for years to come- simply because it was yours.Â
All he wanted was to be near you. To sit at your bedside and hold your hand. But he didnât dare to get any closer. Electrodes attached a dozen wires to your chest. IVs sat lodged in the crooks of your elbows, in the backs of your hands. Machines and monitors kept track of your vitals. And who was he to disturb this fragile, vital ecosystem? What if he accidentally pulled out one of your IVs? What if he detached a wire by mistake? Heâd already hurt you once today, he wasnât about to do it again.Â
He, instead, opted to stand at attention. A few feet away. For your safety. He didnât touch you, didnât even say your name. He simply stared at you, counting your every breath.Â
An hour- or maybe two- passed by with him like this. Nurses checked on you, doctors poked their heads in. And every time, they told him he was permitted to sit by your bedside. But he just shook his head. Sure, slipping his hand into yours, being close to you- it would provide him with incomprehensible comfort. But he couldnât, not when you were so severely injured.Â
After the third hour, Bucky feared his sanity was slipping. A wicked voice lodged deep in his psyche suddenly awakened. It whispered to him, taunted him. Maybe this was all a dream. Maybe he was asleep in the waiting room. Maybe you didnât survive. MaybeâŚ
And he wouldâve believed it, had you not snapped him out of the vicious spiral.Â
âBuck?â He feared heâd never hear you voice again, but there it was. Hoarse and weak- but yours.
Bucky flew to your side. He cradled your face gingerly in his hands, completely consumed by the need to touch you, to feel you, to know that you were real. His palms laid flush against your cheeks, his thumbs sweeping over your skin. And in an instant, the sickly sensation of your snapping bones vanished.
A hurricane of tangled thoughts and emotions crashed over him. He had so much to he wanted to say, so much he wanted to confess to you. But the words refused to arrange themselves properly. Suddenly, Bucky wished heâd used his ample time in the waiting room to better organize his thoughts. He wished heâd sought out a pen and a scrap of paper and used them to plan and articulate his sentiment. But even if heâd found the supplies he needed, he wouldnât have been able to jot a single thing down. Not with his shaking, unsteady hands.
Anxious words and broken sobs got stuck in his throat and formed a garbled, unintelligible mess as they left his mouth. But it was the best he could do. He stared at you, waiting for your response.
âI, umâŚâ you looked at him for a long moment. The haze of head trauma, blood loss, and pain killers made you foggy. You did your best to trace your steps back through Buckyâs words, certain that your condition was the cause of your confusion. But after a significant pause, you came up empty. âSorry, I- what?â
Bucky slid one of his hands into yours and gave a soft laugh. âSorry. I tried to say-â He sat quiet for a moment. What had he tried to say, exactly? He wasnât sure. With a small shake of his head, he re-rerouted. âUm, it doesnât matter. Here, howâs this:â He cleared his throat and spoke with the sharpest pronunciation possible. âHow are you feeling?â
Your laugh- Buckyâs favorite laugh- bubbled up to the surface. But regret swallowed you whole as pain shot through your head, your chest, your side. The hurt radiated through your entire being. It rendered you breathless, and left your face twisted in an agonized grimace.
Bucky didnât like how long it took you to recover from the small chuckle you shot his way. A pang of worry shot through him.  âDonât exert yourself, okay?â He swept a thumb across your cheek, âyou donât wanna tear your stitches or...â He cleared his throat, âaggravate any, um, broken bones.â Bones that he broke.
âNo, IâmâŚâ you squeezed your eyes shut for a long moment before opening them again. The pain slowly receded. âIâm good, Iâm okay. I just- breathing is hard. I forgot how shitty it feels to have broken ribs.â
Bucky nodded. His teeth sunk into the smooth flesh of his cheek. A metallic taste coated his mouth. He didnât want to tell you the truth. Didnât want you to know that he was the cause of your severe pain. But you deserved to know, didnât you? With a deep sigh, he opened his mouth, intent on telling you what really happened. But you cut him off.Â
âThank you, Buck. For coming to get me. I really thought I wasâŚâ Hot tears stung your eyes and blurred your vision. âI thought that was it for me, you know? And I just want you to know how-â you sniffed, âhow grateful I am.â
Bucky left your side for only a second, retrieving a box of tissues from the counter across the room. He was back in no time and swept a tissue across your cheek to catch your tears.
âI know we always say that we have each otherâs backs but you⌠you meant it,â you said. A small smile pulled at your lips, âthank you for meaning it.â
Bucky nodded. He did his best to keep his breathing steady, to stop himself from falling apart at the seams. He knew exactly what it felt like to be left behind, to wait for your last moments- alone.Â
âI wasnât gonna leave you there, doll. I couldnât.âÂ
You gave a small nod. âYeah, I- I wish my partner had felt the same wayâŚâ The hurt in your voice was unmistakable. It sliced though Buckyâs chest. âI didnât think he would ever do something like that. I mean, I thought we were friends.â
The mere thought of Jake brought a familiar rage to the forefront of Buckyâs mind. He didnât understand how anyone could be so callous, so uncaring- so indifferent to the well-being of others. The part of him that swore off unnecessary violence remained quiet as the rest of him imagined Jakeâs demise. He wanted your disloyal partner to suffer. To squirm and squeal and regret that he ever left you behind. But that could wait- you were the priority.
âYeah, I didnât expect him to be that kind of person,â Bucky sighed, âhe seemed like a stand-up guy.â
Silence filled the room as you thought over Jakeâs desertion. His abandonment hurt. It stung in places you didnât expect. Youâd taken Jake under your wing and did everything in your power to be the best leader possible. All you wanted was to help him. To set him up for success.Â
And after working alongside Bucky for so long, youâd forgotten that disloyalty to oneâs partner was even an option.Â
âHe probably panicked,â you tried to rationalize. âAnd then once he realized what heâd done, maybe heâŚâ
There was no rationalizing this.Â
An ugly realization slithered into your mind. âAfter he left, I think he probably hoped Iâd just die⌠that way I wouldnât be able to give my side of the story.â The weight of Jakeâs actions hit you like a train. Rivulets of warm tears rolled down your cheeks, only to be swept away by Buckyâs gentle hand. With a small shake of your head, you did your best to banish the feelings of abandonment and betrayal. Wallowing would only make you more miserable. And you didnât need emotional pain on top of the physical agony that already plagued you.
âWell, jokeâs on him,â you shrugged, âcause Iâm still alive.â Pain radiated through your chest, bringing a grimace to your face. âKind of.âÂ
Bucky didnât understand how you could just dismiss the bad feelings. Couldnât understand your propensity for levity. Your partner left you for dead without a second thought- and yet, you found a way to joke about it. It was something heâd always admired about you, something he wished he was capable of.Â
You gave a strained laugh, âI canât wait to see the look on Jakeâs face when he finds out that I didnât die.â
Bucky wasnât sure what prompted him to say it. It left his mouth without his brainâs authorization.
âBut you did.â
He wished to take the words back, but it was too late. They hung in the air, just out of his reach.Â
âIâŚâ you struggled to grasp Buckyâs words. âI what?â
This was not the time- or the place, or the way- to tell you the truth. But he didnât have a choice. His clumsy words made his bed, and now he had to lie in it.Â
âYou, umâŚâ Bucky didnât want to think about what happened, let alone say it out loud. But he owed it to you to be honest. Especially after Jake had lied to you about being a trustworthy partner. Bucky scratched at the stubble on his face, ran a hand through his hair. Anything to delay the inevitable. But he couldnât put it off for long. âYour heart stopped- you died. On the jet.â
Only one word fell from your lips, âOhâŚâÂ
âAnd while Iâm at it, I might as well tell you thatâŚâ Bucky took a deep inhale. He was in too deep now. And keeping this from you any longer felt like lying. âThat your ribs are broken because of me.â
A quizzical look crossed your face, âwhat do you mean?â
âI mean⌠the med team was short staffed on the jet. There were only three of them. And when you crashed, it was- it was an all hands on deck situation.â He flashed back to the moment when the alarms sounded. When your EKG flatlined. A shudder ran through him. âThey needed me to do chest compressions. And I- I didnât want to hurt you, but the nurse said I wasnât pushing hard enough to actually help you. And when I pushed harder- I broke your ribs.â
Bucky searched your face for something-Â anything. Anger. Fear. Betrayal. But he found nothing. Your expression was as neutral as they come. He feared that something lingered just below the surface. That once you fully processed his words, youâd erupt into a perfect storm of disgust and disappointment.
He told himself to wait silently until you made up your mind. But the outburst exploded from his lips before he could stop it. âIâm sorry- Iâm so sorry, sweetheart. You know Iâd never want to hurt you, I would never do anything to hurt you. But I⌠they told me I had to push harder. Or it wasnât going to work. And I just wanted it to work, I wanted you to be okay, and-â
It took almost all of your strength to raise your hand and place a finger to Buckyâs lips. He fell silent.
âBuck, itâs okay.â
He tried to form a rebuttal, but you cut him off.Â
âYou didnât have to rescue me, but you did. No questions asked, no hesitation. You saved my life by getting me out of there. And you saved me again by helping the med team.â Your hand drifted from Buckyâs face and landed in his palm. âYou didnât do anything wrong.â
Bucky didnât say anything else. His fingers traced gentle patterns on your palm. His eyes fell downward. You could almost see the shame eating him alive from the inside.
 âHey,â you intertwined your fingers with his. âI can handle a few broken ribs.â
âNo, I- I know you can. I justâŚâ A sad smiled flickered across his lips. âI feel terrible. You went through a lot. And I just donât like knowing I made it worse.â
A long silence filled the room. Youâd seen this side of Bucky more times than you could count. And you knew him well enough to know what followed. He was going to feel bad-Â terrible, actually- about this for a while. There was no accelerating the process or absolving him of his guilt. No amount of reassurances could save him from it. He just had to sit with it. One day, the weight would diminish. But it was going to take time. And that was okay.Â
You gave his hand a squeeze. âI thought your voice was a hallucination, you know.â
Bucky lifted his head.
âAnd when you came into the room, I actually thought that was a hallucination, too.â A smile stretched across your face, âI mean, I thought I was losing my mind.â Â
Bucky gave a half-hearted chuckle. He didnât want to think about you in that room by yourself. About you struggling to tell what was real.
âBut then you touched meâŚâ You raised your hand and brushed it across your cheek, mimicking him. âAnd thatâs when I realized that you were real- that you were there.â You fell quiet for a moment, lost in the memory of Buckyâs rescue. âIt was like, in that moment, I wasnât scared anymore. I wasnât scared of the pain. I wasnât scared of dying. I was just scared thatâŚâ
âWhat?â
âYou have to promise not to laugh,â you told him with an authoritative tone. âCause I know itâs corny, or cheesy, or whatever.â
âSweetheart,â Bucky drew an X over his heart. âIâm not gonna laugh at you.â
You stared at him with narrowed eyes, sizing up his promise. But, of course, you knew Bucky would never tease or ridicule you about something like this.Â
âOkay, fine, I um⌠I was scared that Iâd never see you again. If I died, I mean.â
Buckyâs lungs emptied. He couldnât remember how to breathe, how to speak. A sudden ache ripped through his heart as it splintered and shattered into a million pieces. To know that you thought of him in what you believed were your last moments somehow ripped him apart and put him back together all at once.
Your voice cracked. Tears filled your eyes. âI was afraid that weâd already run out of time. I was afraid that we werenât going to get any more.â A few soft sobs escaped from your throat, followed by a pained groan. But you pushed passed the throbbing in your chest. âBut I was so relieved. Because I got to see you one last time. It was the most intense sense of peace Iâve ever experienced.â
Bucky struggled to hold on to his composure. He felt himself crumbling, weakening under the weight of your words.Â
âBut then I realized- I realized Iâd never get to tell you. And you kept saying we could talk later, but I didnât know if there would be a âlaterâ. And when I blacked out, I was so full ofâŚâ You shook your head ever so slightly, sending a few tears dripping onto your cheeks. âI had so much regret. Because I needed you to know.â
âTo know what?â Bucky leaned in close, searching your face for any inkling, any clue. âDoll, itâs âlaterâ. Tell me- whatever it is. You can tell me now, itâs-â
Your lips met his in a soft kiss. In it, everything youâd ever felt for him came rushing forward. Admiration. Longing. Lust. Obsession. Adoration. Love.Â
A sting of pain jolted through you as your split lip brushed his, but you didnât care. His hands found your face, your fingers curled into the collar of his shirt. It was always supposed to be this way.Â
When the two of you finally separated, Bucky simply stared at you. He didnât move, he didnât speak. He wasnât sure he knew how.Â
âI love you, Buck. Iâve loved you- for so long.â A huff left your chest, âSo. Long.âÂ
Still, Bucky remained silent. Nerves began crawling through you like vines, twisting their way through every fiber of your being. But you owed it to yourself, and to Bucky, to tell him the truth.Â
âAnd I just⌠I know how you see yourself. And I know you donât think youâre even worthy of my friendship, let alone love. But I was so anxious, cause I thought youâd never know the truth. I thought Iâd die without getting to tell you. And youâd live the rest of your life thinking that youâre not worthy, that no one could ever love you. But I- I love you. I just needed you to know.â
The silence made your ears ring. Buckyâs face still wore a mask of bewilderment. And you feared youâd ruined everything.Â
âYou donât have to say it back, though,â you said. âIâm not gonna stop being your friend if this is an unrequited thing.â
Finally, Bucky came back to life. He rolled his eyes and let a scoff escape his lips. He leaned in close, the tip of his nose almost brushing yours. âUnrequited? I broke every SWORD rule and policy. Abducted medical staff. Stole a jet. And went on an unauthorized mission. All to get you back. I didnât even know if you were alive, I just- I had to bring you home.âÂ
He closed the small gap that remained between your face and his and granted you warm, gentle kiss that tasted like home. âI did all that- and you thought there was even a chance that I didnât love you back?â Bucky gave a playful roll of his eyes, âyou donât know me at all, sweetheart.â
You returned his eye roll. "Well, you're a really great friend to me. And you always have been. So, I didnât take a rescue as a proclamation of love,â you gave a strained chuckle. âI just thought-â
âIâve loved you forâŚâ Bucky thought back over the course of your friendship. The day you first met, the first time you helped him through a panic attack, the time he made you the ugliest cake in the world for your birthday. He saw his life in two parts: before he met you and after he met you. And he so preferred the after.Â
âI donât even know how long,â he shrugged. It was almost automatic. His feelings for you didnât need a slow, gradual build up. They descended upon him all at once, like the worldâs most beautiful avalanche.  âItâs been a long time- an embarrassing amount of time, probably,â he laughed.
âOh, so weâre both cowards then,â you shot him a wink. âToo afraid to tell the other how we feel.â
Bucky nodded, âIt seems that wayâŚâ
âBut you werenât too scared to steal a jet and run into possible gun fire?â you quipped.
âNope. Didnât even think about it,â he said matter-of-factly. âI just wanted to find you.â
Youâd never experienced a love- a commitment- like that. It sent a rush of warmth into your cheeks and somehow eased the pain plaguing your body. You knew in your heart you wouldâve done the same for Bucky without a second thought. But knowing that he was so fiercely determined to bring you home felt almost unbelievable. You had the proof, though, right there in front of you. This man, who you loved, loved you too. And loved you enough to risk his life for you. It wasnât something youâd ever ask him to do, and you knew youâd never have to. Heâd do it without hesitation. Without reservation. Heâd walk through fire for you if it meant bringing you home.Â

class president
pairing: abby anderson x afab!reader
summary: abby promises that she will drop out of the class president race if you let her fuck you in the ass.
content: bully!abby, anal, fingering, strap on, manipulation (dubcon kinda then), degradation, squirting, public sex, name calling, teasing, praise, pussy fucking, slapping, nerd!reader.
For as long as you can remember, you have wanted to be the class president. The importance of the role made you squeal in excitement, and it would look good on your college applications. You thought that you would be the only person applying for the role; nobody else seemed interested in it. So, when you heard that Abby fucking Anderson had applied for it, your stomach dropped and eyes filled with tears.Â
Abby has been your bully since you met her. She would slam your books out of your hands, shove you into lockers, throw paper balls at the back of your head, and make your life miserable. For some reason, everyone loved her. She would win the popularity vote by far, becoming the class president.Â
The library is quiet and empty. It would be the perfect time to study, but you canât focus with the disappointment and dread running through your body.
âDonât lose hope,â your best friend, Ellie, says, trying to comfort you.
You roll your eyes, slumping in your chair. You catch a glimpse of one of Abbyâs posters, her stupid face slapped in the middle of it with the words âvote for meâ next to it. She didnât even put any effort into the poster. You put hours into designing yours.
âIf I have any hope, itâll just make it hurt more when I lose,â you sigh.Â
âDonât sound so pathetic.âÂ
You nearly jump out of your skin at the sound of Abbyâs voice, giving her a chuckle. Her arms are crossed in front of her chest, her muscles on display. If you didnât hate her so much, maybe, just maybe, you would find her attractive. She has a stupid, cocky grin on her face that makes you want to leap out of your seat and right-hook her.Â
âWhat do you want, Abby?â you growl.
She huffs, âGod, youâre such a defensive loser. I just want to talk to you. Alone.â
Ellie pushes her glasses to the tip of her nose, frowning. âIâm not leaving so you can bully them without a witness.â
âA witness? Are you serious?â Abby shakes her head with a dry laugh. She whacks the back of Ellieâs head, making her yelp in surprise. âI donât care whoâs watching when I make you both look even stupider than you already are.â
Ellieâs finger shoots into the air, âFirst, fuck off. Second, Iâm actually not stupid, I have a-â
Abby groans loudly, grabbing your arm and pulling you to your feet. You think about fighting her, but youâre curious about what she has to say. She never talks to you in private, no matter how embarrassing the talk is. One time, she told you that your bullet vibrator had slipped out of your backpack in front of half the class. You will never forget that day.
Abby suddenly stops in front of a door, fumbling for a key in her pocket before unlocking it and shoving you inside. The dim light reveals that the tiny room is the janitor's closet. You shuffle, trying to create some distance between you and Abby. The distance is short-lived. Abby slams you into the wall, her hands resting beside your head, trapping you between her and the wall.Â
âYou wanna be class president, yeah?â
You nod eagerly, âObviously.âÂ
âGood. Iâll drop out of the race, meaning you will win by default, if you let me fuck you in the ass, right now.â
You freeze, heat quickly running to your cheeks. You look everywhere but her face as you splutter for a reply, her straightforwardness taking you off guard.
âIn the janitor's closet?â is all you can manage to say.
Abby grins, âYeah, itâs got everything we need.â She gestures to the small wooden table next to you. âWell, whatâs it gonna be? My offer runs out in 10âŚ9âŚ8âŚâ
âOkay!âÂ
âBend over, then.â
You feel like your heart is going to beat out of your chest as your chest presses against the table. Never in a million years, would have you considered doing anal, let alone with Abby Anderson. She slowly pulls your pants down, her hand gliding over the mound of your ass. Her finger hooks around your panties, pulling them to the side.
She groans softly, her finger sinking into your hole, your pussy clenching and sucking her in deeper. Her thumb finds your clit, and you shudder.
âY-You just said that you would only fuck me in the ass.â
âDo you want me to fuck you dry or something, idiot?âÂ
You shake your head, gripping onto the table like it were your life support. Abby toys with you for a while, her fingers slipping out to slap your thighs before slamming back into you, keeping you on the edge of an orgasm.Â
âHoly fuck,â she moans. âI knew you were slutty, but I didnât know you were this slutty. Youâre dripping all over me, and you havenât even come yet.âÂ
You whimper, her wet fingers pulling out of your pussy leaving an uncomfortable feeling of emptiness to circle the rim of your tightest hole. Slowly and carefully, she pushes her middle finger inside of your ass, hushing you as you start to squirm and whine. It stings at first, but quickly dulls; the pleasure overtakes it.
âThatâs it. Youâre doing good,â she mutters. âFeels better now, huh?â
Her praise made your heart flutter; you would never have thought that Abby could say anything nice to you, only cruel words left her mouth. She adds a second finger, her hand clamping over your mouth to stifle your loud moan. The tears running down your face soak her hand.Â
âCan I fuck you with my strap?â her question comes out in a breathy moan, like the idea of it has her throbbing.
âThat would hurt really bad, Abby.â Your words are muffled by her hand.
âPlease, I swear Iâll take it slow, and itâs not too big either.â
You laugh. Abby Anderson begging? Thatâs new. But her words dripped with such desperation that you find yourself unable to deny her, whimpering a soft okay. Her fingers leave your ass, and you hear the unzipping of her pants before the tip of her strap is pressing against you. A cold substance is rubbed around the rim of your ass.
âI thought you didnât have lube,â You look back at her, eyebrow raised.
She shrugs. âI wanted to feel your pussy, too.âÂ
A shiver runs through your body, the strong reaction from her words making heat run to your face. You didnât want to react like this. You werenât attracted to her, and you definitely werenât enjoying this, right? Okay, maybe youâre enjoying this a little bit, but youâre still only letting her do this because sheâs giving you class president, not for any other reason.Â
As she pushes the tip of her strap in, you grasp onto her hand, squeezing tightly. You expect her to shake you off, like she normally would do, but all she does is murmur a quiet praise and squeeze back. It hurts more than her fingers, but the way she talks to you almost minimises the pain.
âGood, fuck, youâre doing so good.â Half of her strap is buried in your ass. âI know, I know it hurts, but itâll feel good soon.â
Once you give her the okay, her hips wildly slam into you, the hilt of her strap pressing against her clit and making her moan. The sound of moans and wet noises is all that can be heard, and if you werenât so drunk on her cock, the thought of people hearing would have crossed your mind.
Abbyâs hand snakes around your front, finding your clit and rubbing it, throwing you into an orgasm. You scream, your legs shaking and warm liquid splurting everywhere, drenching your thighs and Abbyâs hand. Her hips stutter and still, moans stumbling out of her mouth as she comes. She flips your body around, your back hitting the table, and smashes her lips into yours. Your arms wrap around her neck, pulling her in deeper.Â
She breaks the kiss, her chest heaving and face red. She slowly pulls the strap out of your ass, smirking when you start to cry from the pain. âDonât be a big baby, wussy.â
You roll your eyes. Of course, the bully you know and hate is back. âYou seemed to enjoy that a bit too much.â
Abby scoffs. âNah, worst fuck in my life.â
You know, by the way sheâs avoiding eye contact with you, that sheâs lying, but you donât press any further. You slide off the table, cringing at the wet feeling as you pull your pants back up. âSo, youâll drop out?â
Abby hums, fixing herself up. âI was dropping out regardless of what you said. Class president is such nerd shit. I canât believe you would think I was genuinely running for that, stupid.â
Your mouth drops open. âAre you fucking kidding me? I just let you anal me in the goddamn janitorâs closet, and youâre telling me I didnât have to?â
Abby smirks. âWhat? Are you saying that you didnât absolutely love this dick?â
Your eyes sharpen, âDonât say that like you didnât just adore this ass.â
Abby doesnât respond; instead, opening the door and holds it for you. If you werenât so focused on looking at her face, you would have noticed her foot and avoided it, but you made the rookie mistake of thinking that Abby wasnât going to be a jerk.Â
You trip, grunting as you fall to your knees. Abby barks a laugh, smacking you on the head as she passes. âSuch a fuckinâ loser.â

we need more kaiser x mreader! can i have reader eating kaiser's sloppy pussy like a feast? i love your writing take care!!
ă⸸ .á SWEET NECTAR
ă content. ă hungry m!reader eating out afab!michael kaiser (blue lock) until his jaw hurts. ă tÉgs ă top!reader, bottom!kaiser, pussy/cunt/clit and others used to reference kaiser's sex, amab!reader, vaginal penetration, multiple orgasms, squirting, overstimulation, established relationship, fingering, no condom, slight pillow princess!kaiser, filthy and sloppy sex
a/n thanks anon! (this is not edited yet), hope you enjoy!
HIS blue eyes roll back in his head as he feels the orgasm shoot through him like an arrow, pussy contracting against your hot mouth, stomach hot and churning. Sensitivity scratches his skin like a knife.
"S-so good," you panted against him, all your murmur lost between his folds where your mouth buried itself. "You taste so good, Micha. I love itâlove youâlove eating you, coul'die between you' legs."
Shutting up would probably kill you.
Kaiser was so wet from the long minutes you spent eating him out that moisture coated his thighs; a filthy mix of sweat, slick, and saliva glistening on the insides of them. The bed below him was no better and the sheet stuck to his back. Kaiser wanted more than anything to take a second shower and clean himself up, but any rational thought slipped away when your tongue slid home ââ into him again, with the same hunger as when you first opened his legs and buried yourself between them earlier.
Sex after he had done his whole nighttime ritual (as you called it) and gotten ready for bed: body warm from the shower, legs moisturized and boxers clean on his hips, was a definite no. You knew that. But you took advantage of his tiredness and irritation; you snuggled between his legs to lie on his stomach while he rewatched the match from hours ago. Kaiser gave you a suspicious look behind the lenses of his glasses, but allowed you to get close.
He knew it was a bad decision as soon as you started mumbling, always so obviously uninterested in football that Kaiser had no idea how he still tolerated you. You turned your head then, buried your nose in his thigh and breathed in deeply. Inhaling his scent.
Kaiser ignored you and kept his attention on the television, another bad choice that he only realized when he felt your teeth sink into his skin, his sex pulsing in response under the hot weight of your body.
"[name]," he warned you then, grabbing your hair without any attempt to feign care, trying to move your mouth away.
You grumbled like a small child and Kaiser, trying not to find another reason to stress, left you. When your fingers went to the elastic of his underwear then, Kaiser looked at you disinterestedly, without a move to help you. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Helping you relax?"
"You're asking me?" Kaiser scoffed. "I don't see how eating me out is going to do anything for my stress."
"Well, it certainly helps with my stress," was your response.
What damn futile reason would you have in your little life to be stressed? You did nothing! On the television, the narrator shouts, announcing the goal. The opposing team's goal against Bastard Munchen. From the footage he could almost see his own face in the distance, contorted in irritation. Kaiser's temple throbs and fuck, he lifts his hips, allowing you to undress him.
Now, you moaned against him, sounding so damn pleased with the taste of him that even as a stab of pain jolted his hips from the pressure of your tongue swirling around his clit, Kaiser doesn't try to stop you and just surrenders to your whims.
He is hyperaware of not being able to shut up. Maybe it's the accumulated tension, the days he spent away from home, never lowering to the desire to touch himself, the game they won, but by very little. Maybe because of one or all of the above, but Kaiser is talking, loudly, grunting, moaning, comfortable and shivering against his mound of soft pillows.
Everything in him was burning and throbbing and wet. You were a sloppy eater, on purpose, Kaiser accused. His muscular thighs squeeze your head, sure to suffocate you against his pussy even as the sensations distort, sensitive and almost numb at the same time. Unsure whether he wanted more of this pleasure or not.
"Hng, fuck, fuck- oh- ooh!" Your lips close around his swollen, hypersensitive clit, sucking. Kaiser's hips lift off the bed, meeting your mouth, unable to stop the tremors as yet another orgasm washed over him, taking his breath with it.
He thinks he might have passed out for a few seconds, because when he comes back to, your mouth is against his, kissing him, even though Kaiser can barely kiss you back. His tongue feels loose inside his mouth. There's a lot of saliva accumulated and running down his chin. Gross. But it doesn't seem to bother you.
The game replay is over. A new program is running behind your back. You're reaching between your bodies, fingers sliding between Kaiser's puffy pussy lips, spreading the wetness even further, he's not sure, dizzy and-
Your cock presses against him, the tip wide and hot, and then sinks into him with ease. Kaiser's pussy is so relaxed and sloppy that it can barely squeeze around the intrusion, so sensitive, so sensitive, but you fuck him anyway. Your hips slam against his fast, hard, in and out, in and out. As if he were a whore or something even lower.
"Micha," you're singing like a praise, kissing every bit of skin you can reach. "You feel so good- you're so wet for me. Fuck. I won't last. I can't- Micha, Micha, Micha."
Kaiser gives up trying to kiss you and moves his mouth away, he doesn't care now about the pathetic expression he must be making right now: tears rolling down his cheeks, glasses already lost, drooling.
Kaiser knows you won't last, so soon you'll cum, finish making his insides a mess with your seed. It hurts, it throbs, his cunt gets even wetter, squirting or cumming (maybe both) around your cock as he screams. He can't take it anymore, he can't take it anymore...
Now the bed was definitely a lost cause. Kaiser had to learn to be stricter with you. But those were worries for later.

Sorry, still thinking about this post and my tags on it, and if you think about it, Eddie has been acting like a sheepdog, guiding Buck into the most comfortable, close-enough-but-not-too-close spot in his life from pretty much the very beginning. They are established as partners early on, with them literally promising to have each other's backs, and then proving it when Buck starts helping with Chris in 2x04 and introduces Eddie to Carla. And pretty much starting then, you can see Eddie begin doing this dance. During the tsunami arc, Buck has started to pull away because of his injury, so Eddie drops Chris off with him. And afterward, Buck is blaming himself and prepared to pull away again, and Eddie knows this and shows up and hits him with a, "There's no one in this world I trust with my son more than you."
Then there's the infamous grocery store fight, the first time their partnership is really threatened, and Eddie lashes out and reminds Buck where his place is. ("Do you know how much Chris misses you?" and "I couldn't even call you to bail me out of jail.") Then Buck gets it, and we get the kitchen scene, but while we're all focused on the flirting (for good reason!) what's also happening is that Eddie is deflecting all the real questions. Buck pushes, "If you can't be honest with Frank, at least be honest with me," but Eddie just keeps cracking jokes, and they never really do get to the heart of the matter. Eddie's content that he has Buck back where he needs him; they don't have to actually talk about what happened or why in a real way.
But of course the most obvious time it happens is with the will. And the fact that Eddie puts Buck in his will a year before he tells him about it. He anchors Buck into his and Chris's life, but he only tells Buck when Buck has started to doubt his place during the shooting arc. It's actually an insane choice to put your best friend in your will without even having a conversation about it first, but Eddie can't face that conversation. Not until Buck is trying to place himself farther outside the "Buck Zone of Comfort" that Eddie has drawn in his mind, and then he has to just carefully nudge him riiiight back over the line. You're not expendable, not to me.
(Adding a cut, because this is getting long.)
The reason he's getting all snarly now is because leaving for Texas exposed this dance Eddie's been doing in a way that can't be ignored, because this is the first time Eddie himself has pushed Buck away, rather than some circumstance or NDE or Buck's own issues. If things were normal between them, Eddie could have involved Buck from the beginning, but he couldn't do that without deciding once and for all, is Buck just my friend, or is he more than that? Because if he's just a friend, then he can just help me move and be happy for me. But if he's more than that, then I don't think either of us can handle being apart, but I have no choice. But of course Eddie can't deal with thinking about any of that, so he just puts up a wall between himself and Buck by not talking to him about it at all until Buck finds out, and even then he keeps it minimal (ex: Buck tries to help him pick a house, but in the end Eddie picks one out and puts a down payment on it without consulting Buck at all).
I don't think either of them really gets what's behind it yet. Like, they know that it feels bad for Eddie to leave, but they don't fully understand why. Eddie won't let himself think about it, and Buck I think can't even conceive of the idea that Eddie might care about him that way, mostly because of his own trauma and lack of self-esteem. Eddie probably realizes they've reached a point where he can't position Buck back inside that Zone of Comfort, but I'm not sure if he knows that the only way to do it would be to put a label on what they are to each other, which he will NOT let himself do.
He does still try to do the push-and-pull thing again while he's in Texas with all the FaceTiming. He knows he's made Buck feel expendable again, so he tries to undo that by consulting him on all these big things he crucially did not consult him on before leaving: his job, Chris, his relationship with his parents. He feels more comfortable being emotionally close to Buck when there's all this physical distance between them.
But now, he's back, and Bobby's dead, and everything's more fragile than ever. Buck is closed off to him, so Eddie tries to remind him of his place again by bringing Chris back. But it only sort of works, because what now? They are living in the same house, but they both have this knowledge now of what it feels to be 800 miles apart, and what it feels to not share their grief with each other, and what it feels to not be a family, so they can't really just go back to how things were.
So Eddie does the exact wrong thing. He still plans to go back to El Paso. Even after it seemed like he came back--maybe even came back FOR BUCK--as soon as they're back to the fire station, he pulls out his phone and starts looking for flights. I don't know if we'll see this on screen, but I believe this is the moment that Buck gets it. Eddie has been trying to have it both ways, to keep Buck close but not too close. I doubt either of them really know what that means for how they feel about each other, but I do think Buck gets that he's going to be miserable unless he "lets Eddie go" in some capacity, which is why he starts looking for a new place to live.
I highly doubt Eddie is going to deal with this well, but for the first time, it's going to be basically impossible to fix this without acknowledging how he feels. Looking forward to finding out what it's going to take for him to do that!

If You Need To Hear It
Main Masterlist - Dean Masterlist
Read on A03!
Tags: Dean Winchester/Female Reader, pre-established relationship (sort), light fluff, light angst, lotta smut (fingering, p in v), humor.
Summary/Warnings: After a tense case, Dean decides to remind you of what you mean to him on the roof of the Impala.
Author's Note: Request from @grosskyjaja! Once again, I can't just be horny, I gotta have feelings too. Enjoy!
Word Count: 4.4k
Youâre drenched in things that should never be outside of bodies. Your hair is stuck to your brow, and your fingers are caked in dry blood. Something thick is spattered over your jeans, and there might be hair that isnât yours in your mouth.
And that was a good hunt.
No deaths. No major injuries, either. Just a few traumatized housewives, and fingernail marks on your palm from when theyâd been flirting with Dean in front of you. So you have no real reason to feel horrible. Youâve been covered in worse. Youâve killed more things, and come a lot closer to losing Deanâand actually lost himâin a much realer way.
But you were tired. The week had been filled with womenâwho had teeth that were straighter than yours, and hair that was better keptâshooting you bitter glares as you stood a little closer to Dean than you needed to. Now, you just want to go home.
And Dean hasnât fared much better, in the aftermath. At least he remembered extra clothing, though. Clothing that he ditched in favor of his stupid fake-fed suit, in favor of youâafter a long, hot shower and a lot of scrubbing your skin until you skin is raw and untouched by bloodâwearing his extra shirt and too big boxers.
âThey look like shorts-â
âNot they donât.â Youâd grumbled, and Dean had sighed.
âWe can stay the night,â heâd said your name, not fully looking you in the eyes. âMost places are closed, Iâll go out and get you a new shirt and pants in the morning.â
âFrom where?â
âStore.â
âDean.â Youâd given him a flat look, shoving your braâthe only thing youâd been wearing that wouldnât have to be burnedâinto your bag. âWeâre in Northern Idaho.â
He shrugs. âThey got stores. Donât be classist, sweetheart-â
âIâm not. They wonât have anything Iâll wear twice.â
âThey might-â
âThey wonât.â Maybe he doesnât want you to keep wearing his shirt. The thought just makes you more exhausted. âIâm being pragmatic, not elitist.â
Dean frowns. âI didnât say elitist.â
You shrug, wrapping your arms around your chest. âI know. Elitist is what you meant.â
He snorts. âI love it when you talk dirty-â
âDean.â Youâd snapped, and heâd stilled. Your distress must have been audible. âI just want to go home.â
That had been enough. You had fresh clothing at home, and a bed without lumps, andâif you were luckyâmaybe Dean would let you crawl into his arms and not let go until morning.Â
Heâd packed everything up and into the trunk of the Impala without another joke, and when you crawl next to him on the bench, his arm goes over your shoulder and stays there. He doesnât stop touching you for the entirety of the drive. Lots of fields and forests and sky, Deanâs hand either rubbing small circles on your upper arm or resting on your thigh.
You know heâs pushing Baby to her limits, just to get you home. Or get away from your sulking sooner. You canât blame him. Youâre glaring out the window as if the trees are responsible for your exhaustion.
And itâs so stupid. It was a good hunt. It was an objectively good hunt. And Dean didnât even flirt back.Â
But youâre not his. Not officiallyâthough through your whole body youâre only ever sure of one thing, and itâs that youâre Deanâsâand not in a way that gives him any claim over you.Â
Which means that Deanâs not yours. And you have no claim over him. So if heâd decided to indulge one of those housewives, youâd have no good reason to stop him.
You try not to think about it too often. How Dean could, on any day, just decide that he was done with you. Youâd wake up, and suddenly last night would be the last night. The last time youâd touch him. The last time heâd touch you.
And you really, really try not to think about it. But the floodgates have been opened, and now you canât stop.
Dean might be able to sense it.Â
Maybe thatâs why heâs touching you, even as the air becomes wired with silence. Heâs trying to remind you that for now, heâs here with you.
For now.
âItâs gettinâ late.â He mutters, and you only hum. Youâd left at dawn, but Montana was a big state. Youâd only just crossed the border into Wyoming, and the sky is already dark and scattered with scars.
âYou know where we are?âÂ
Dean shakes his head. âThink itâs nowhere. Havenât see a sign for miles. And I can soldier through, sweetheart-â
âNo.â You sigh. âItâs fine. I can-â
âYouâre not driving.â
âDean-â
âItâs not cause I donât trust you,â he says your name, giving you a pointed look. âItâs cause youâre tired. Weâll just sleep out here.â
âOut-â You blink at him. âIn the car?â
âYeah, Babyâs safer than a motel. I used to sleep in her all the time, when it was just me-â
âBut itâs not just you-â
âWeâve been closer than squished in the car, sweetheart.â Deanâs voice is a drawl, and he squeezes your thigh like a reminder. As if you could ever forget. âItâll be fine. Iâve got a gun, and youâve got me.â
You donât have him.Â
You give in anyway.
And itâs only an hour before itâs too much. Dean pressed up right behind youâthere wasnât any cold to huddle against, but he hadnât seemed interested in hearing thatâwith his knee almost between your thighs, his face near your neck, and his arms wrapped around your stomach.Â
Everything smells like him. Even the blanket heâd pulled from the trunk. And youâd thought it would be good for him to hold you like this, but this isnât in the sanctity of his bedroom. No one but you has ever been allowed in his bedroom. You know for a fact other girls have been in this position.
In the Impala, Dean wrapped around them like heâs never wanted to be anywhere else.
You used to be jealous of them, and how they got to be close to Dean, even for a night.
Now, you know itâs never enough. And youâll never be able to admire those girls more, for having Dean once, then walking away.
Thereâs a chance they didnât have him quite like you do. His laughter and company and stupid blanket, his shirt over their body and his total vulnerability as he sleeps.
Youâre trying not to think about it.
But itâs hard with Dean pressed right behind you.Â
Itâs another hour before you squirm away and climb outside. You need the air, the isolation, the anything but Dean holding you like heâd like to keep you, when he doesnât.Â
You just need space.
And thereâs a lot of it, above you. Glittering in the sky as you climb onto the roof, and seemingly infinite with the flat skyline. You lay flat on your back and watch it until you feel sleepy again. And Dean will be pissed if you fall asleep outside, but youâre so tired-
âCome back inside.âÂ
You feel a tap on your knee, and push up to see Dean frowning at you.
âYouâll get sick, sweetheart-â
âIâm fine.â You mutter, lying back down. âIâll be in soon.â
Dean makes an odd sound. âWill you.â
âYeah.â
âWhyâd you come out in the first place.â
âI- Just wanted to watch the stars.â
âCouldâve woken me up.â
You rise back up, and Deanâs almost glaring at you. As if youâve offended him. âI didnât want to disturb you.â
His jaw twitches. âThatâs what youâre going with?â
âWhat I-â You frown at him. âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
He lets out a long sigh, rubbing his brow with a hand. âAlright. Weâre doing this.â
âDoing- Dean!â
Heâs yanked you forward until your knees are dangling off the side, and heâs standing between your legs. Pressed between your legs. Pressed into you, and barely a breath away as he scans over your face.
âDean?â You whisper, unable to move away, and his face tightens. âWhatâs-â
âYouâre avoiding me.â
âI- Iâve been in the car with you all day-â
âBut youâre not talking!â He snaps, his tone heavy. Like this is painful. âEver since we did the interviews, you havenât talked to me or let me touch you, and I donât know what I did wrong, baby, but I canât fix it if you keep-â
âYou didnât do anything wrong.â You grab Deanâs face between your hands, shaking your head. He canât be allowed to think that. âI- It was me. And itâs stupid.â
He frowns. âNot stupid if it makes you upset.â
âIt is,â you mumble. âItâs- Donât worry about it. You didnât even do anything, or pretend you would, but I- Never mind.â
Deanâs not pulling away. Heâs just examining you. Like the answer will be written all over your face.Â
It might be.
Because you can see the exact moment he gets it. His eyes widen, he lets out a sharp breath, and then he presses in closer with a small smirk.
âWere you jealous?â
âI- no-â
âYeah, you were.â He shakes his head, letting out a dry laugh. âYou were upset I might- Son of a bitch-â He says your name, and looks far too amused for how your face might be burning. âWhy didnât you say something-â
âBecause itâs dumb!â You snap, and he doesnât even pretend to flinch when you shove at his chest. âYou werenât doing anything, and itâs- itâs not like weâre together-â
Dean catches your hand and tugs you forwards, all but pinning you to his chest and scanning over your features with a small frown. âSay that again.â
âI- It-â You voice is going a little hoarse, but Dean wonât stop staring at you. âItâs not like weâre together-â
âWrong.â Dean certainly looks offended now, shaking his head with a tight frown. âI got two women in my life, and itâs her.â He pats Babyâs hood with a grin, and itâs hard not to roll your eyes at him. âAnd- Hey. Saw that.â
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â Youâre starting to smile.
Youâre not sure how he always pulls that out of you.
But heâs Dean. So he does.
âStop getting smart with me,â He mutters, leaning forward to bump his nose with yours. âIâm trying to be helpful-â
âYou are being helpful.â You sigh, dropping your head into his shoulder. âI told you it was stupid.â
âWasnât stupid.â Deanâs hand finds its way into your hair, running it carefully through his fingers. âNothing you do is stupid. Can be dramatic, but not stupid.â
âThanks.â You mumble, and he shrugs, his fingers stilling suddenly in your hair.Â
When he speaks again, his voice is impossible low, and rough, and right in your fucking ear. âYou still doubting that I mean it, babygirl?â
âMean what?â
He chuckles, and god, his voice is getting deeper. âYou know what Iâm talking about.â
âI-â
âDonât play dumb, sweetheart,â Deanâs palm starts to rub right over the cloth of your shorts, and your breath hitches against his skin. âYouâre not that good at it.â
ââm good at it.â Youâre already a little dizzy, but Deanâs all around you and pressing down. âYou- I-â
âI know. You need some extra attention? Need me to fuck you until you get that I damn mean it?â
There it is. The deepest voice. The sex voice, that heâll almost growl in your ear on a case before pulling you into a closet, or hum at you in the kitchen before herding you back to his bedroom.
Asshole.Â
He knows youâd jump off a roof if he asked you with that voice.
âAnswer me,â he mutters your name, teasing his thumb up and down your still-clothed slit. âGotta hear it.â
âYe-â You let out a breathy moan into his shoulder. âYes, please-â
âThere she is.â Heâs almost crooning at you, and itâs enough to make you start grinding onto his hand. âNever anything stupid with you, my smart girl.â
You squeak as Dean tugs you back by your hair, and even in the dark of the night, heâs the best thing youâve ever seen. Pretty green eyes darkened and focused wholly on you, an expression of something dangerously close to reverence all over his face as he scans over you.Â
His hand moves away from your core, bracing him on the hood of the Impala, but you donât get a whine in protest before heâs pulling you into a long, deep kiss. Taking his time, pressing his tongue into your mouth and humming when you part without a thought, never coming up for air because you donât need it. You have Dean, grunting when you almost fall over his body, moaning his name against his mouth because if heâs going to let you have this, youâre going to take all of it.Â
âSon of a bitch.â Dean mutters your name, pulling you back with a lazy grin, and you can only pant and drop your brow against his. âNever think I want anyone but you. Ever.â
âDean, you-â
âNo.â He shakes his head, pressing a softer kiss and mumbling against your lips. âYouâre my girl, baby. Donât forget it.â
You sigh. âI canât tell if youâre talking to me or the car.â
Dean barks a laugh, and it pulls a smaller smile onto your lips, that splits into an almost stupid grin when Dean grabs you back into another long, slightly rougher kiss. More teeth and spit, a little bruising and mind-numbing. He might be trying to sedate your brain into not overthinking.
If he is, itâs working.
âRight now Iâm talking about you, pretty girl.â He hums, the outline of his cock pressing against your inner thigh, and you canât even think of a quick comeback.
All you can really think is Dean, handsome and somehow yours. Against all odds and reason, Dean seems to think heâs yours.
And you could never hate yourself enough to deny him.
âThatâs good.â You whisper, and Dean chuckles.
âYeah, it is. Câmon,â his hand goes back to pressing between your thighs, and your hips buck. âLemme show you, sweetheart. Gonna make you feel so good.â
You nod, already humping his hand as he rubs around your clothed clit, and Dean hums your name.
âWords-â
âYes, please.â You whisper, wrapping your arms around his neck, and you can hear the grin in his voice.
âHold on.â
 Dean hooks his fingers on your underwear, pushing it to the side before shoving one finger right into your pussy, and you let out a high squeak.
âJesus.â He mutters, glancing down to where youâre squeezing around him. âYouâre fuckinâ soaked, baby. This all for me?â
You nod, your brow pressed back to his. âOnly for you, Dean, only ever for you-â
âFucking-â Dean groans, pulling your lower lip between his teeth. âYouâre so perfect baby. Always so ready for me-â
You moan as two fingers slam into you, scissoring and pumping with a rough, precise speed, Dean grabbing your chin and angling your head to the side. His kisses fall to your neck as you start to hump against him, scratching at his neck and whining whenever he lets his thumb flick over your clit. Youâre already going out of your mind, Deanâs somehow still tucked into his pants, and you want more.Â
You must have said it aloud, because Dean chuckles against your neck. âThis not enough for you, sweetheart?â
âI- It is- I- Feels so good-â You moan, your hips jerking as Dean crooks his fingers against the deepest spot inside of you, and his grip tightens.
âGotta stop squirming, baby.â
âBut I want you-â
âYou got me.â Dean starts to rub over your clit, and you shake your head, your voice almost a whine.
âBut I want you,â You repeat, grinding over his bulge, and he lets out a long hiss, his fingers in your cunt picking up to a brutal pace. âPlease.â
âSon of a bitch,â he mutters, pulling back to watch you with that reverence again. âThis not enough for you, babygirl? You wanna take my cock too?â
You nod frantically, squeaking when his fingers start to rub on that deep spot, his thumb teasing feather-light touches over your clit, and youâre going to fly out of your skin-
âOne time.â He holds your gaze, and you might fall apart just from the sight of him. Blown-out pupils on yours, his jaw set as he watches you, so handsome and somehow yours-Â
âDean-â
âJust one, babygirl.â His thumb presses down and starts to roll firm circles around you, and your mouth falls open in a silent moan. âThere you go, wanna see you cum one time before you take my cock, you can do it-â
Itâs like he flips a switch. Your orgasm crashes through you with a high, wanting sound of Dean mixed with pleas, and he swallows it with another rough kiss. Youâre only seeing stars and feeling an impossibly good rush of pleasure through your whole body. Thereâs a brief moment where Dean fingers are gone and you whimper at the lost, but Deanâs knee presses right against your cunt, and you let out a soft, easy sigh.
âFeel good, sweetheart?â
If his question is teasing or mocking, you really donât fucking care, and nod dumbly as he pulls away.Â
Dean only laughs, his fingersâthe ones that had just been fucking in youâcoming up to his mouth. He licks them clean, his gaze never leaving yours, and your hips roll against his knee.
 âI- Câmon, Dean, please-âÂ
âChrist,â Dean mutters your name, brushing some of the hair stuck to your brow away. âYouâre like- My dream girl. You know that, right?â
âI- I think I do.â You lean forward, continuing to grind onto him as your hand wanders down to squeeze his cock, straining through his pants. âCan you show me?â
His eyes flash, and he swats your hand away, pinning it to the hood. âYou still need my cock, sweet girl? Still need me to fuck you on the roof, make you scream so all of Montana can hear?â
âWeâre in Wyoming,â you whisper, and Dean shrugs.
âThey can hear too. You want it?â
You nod, not breaking Deanâs gaze. âYes.â
Heâs so fast you almost arenât ready. Kissing you so harsh you think heâs trying to meld his lips to yours, before pulling you right into his chest and sucking a sloppy line along your jaw and neck. Your fingers dig into his shoulder in a desperate play to keep steady, but itâs not needed.Â
Dean wonât let you fall.
There are a few things that break through the haze of Deanâs lip, nipping on your neck. The sound of the Impala door opening and the rustle of a belt, as well as the feeling of big, calloused hands kneading up your thigh before pulling down your shorts, and taking your panties with them.
Itâs a quick second, where youâre completely bare and shivering from the cold air on your pussy. But then you hear the door close, Deanâs mouth slams back over yours in a demanding, harsh kiss, and youâre never going to be cold again.
His dick slams into you in one, movement, and your mouth falls open at the perfect stretch of him inside you. Dean takes advantage of it, pushing the kiss further until youâre melted over him, fluttering slightly around him as a second, tiny orgasm rips through you.
âGod, fucking-â Dean groans your name, pulling all the way out before slamming back in, and you whine. âYeah, I know baby. Youâre so fuckinâ tight, feel so good wrapped around my cock, wanna-â
âDo it.â You mumble, wrapping your legs around his waist. âWanna feel it, please. Need to feel it.â
He groans, his hand moving back to brace himself against the Impalaâs roof. âYou sure-â
âYes.â Itâs the easier question to answer.Â
And the certainty in your voice pays off. Deanâs will snaps with a half growl of your name, and youâre gone.
Usually, Dean lets you lead with sex. And you almost always make it slow. Youâve wanted to savor it as much as you could, to stretch out the stolen moments because youâd thought, one day, youâd never have them again. Youâd give Dean everything you hadâon your knees and riding him and splayed out below him, trying to put on a show when heâd bury his face in your cuntâbecause youâd thought it was what you needed to do for him to come back.Â
Heâs going to come back no matter what.Â
And it seems to be your turn to take.
Deanâs almost feral against you. Hammering his hips into your sensitive cunt, splitting you open and pressing against that needy spot over and over until youâre a moaning, writhing mess in his arms. His lips never leave your skin for a second, kissing and biting over your shoulder, nipping at the base of your neck before rising back up to mutter filthy praise against your lips.
âTakinâ me so good, sweetheart, fuckinâ made for my cock,â his thrust are already starting to grow uneven, and when you bite on his lower lip, he slams into you so hard stars start to form behind your eyes.
âDean.â You gasp, and he groans as you squeeze around him. âFeels so good, youâre- God-â
âYou like takinâ my big dick, baby?â He drawls against you, adjusting your hips to hit you impossibly deeper. âShit, you feel like heaven, wanna- Fuck-â
Thereâs a tension in his voice, even if he doesnât stop moving, and you frown. âWhatâs-â
âForgot a condom.â Dean grunts, rutting against you as he drops to bury his face in the crook of your neck. âIâm not gonna last, sweetheart- I gotta-â
âInside.â You mumble, your breath hitching as he bottoms out again, the angle making your clit rub against his abdomen. âDean, please- I said I wanna feel it-â
âShit,â he moans your name against your skin, cock twitching in your cunt. âYouâre so- Fuckinâ love you, baby, Iâm gonna-â
He moves back up to kiss you as he chases his release, still fucking moaning down your throat as he fucks you desperately through it.
But then he doesnât stop. Deanâs cum is dripping out of your pussy, down your thighs and onto the roof of the car, but heâs not slowing down. Still half-hard and grabbing your waist until youâre sure itâs going to leave a bruiseâyou hope it doesâand fucking his cum back into you, until youâre so impossibly full you think youâre going to fucking die from it, and he- Heâd said-
âDean-â
âLast one,â he mutters against your lips, rolling his hips in a sharp circle that makes your squeak. âYou can gimme one more, pretty girl, câmon,â his thumb moves to your clit, and your hips jerk off the bed.
âGod-â
âNot god. Just meâ Dean laughs at his own joke, pinching you and rolling the nerves between his fingers, and thereâs a tight coil deep in your gut that about to snap, and-
âDean, please-â
âI know,â he hums, and this is too soft a kiss for how heâs still bruising your cervix, how youâre on fire and heâs still using his sex voice. âSquirt on my cock, baby, you can do it, so fuckinâ gorgeous all fucked out ân full of me-â
He gives a small, harsh slap to your clit before pressing his palm and rubbing it back and forth, right as his cock presses on that hypersensitive place inside of you, and you cum with a scream that echoes through the night.
Something is flooding out from between your thighs, but in the white-hot daze of your orgasm, you really canât tell if itâs pee or Deanâs cum-
Not Deanâs cum. Heâs still buried inside you, mumbling low words as he kisses all over your face, holding you as you shake slightly against him.Â
âYou fucking soaked me, sweetheart.â He chuckles, kneading gently against your skin. âCâmon letâs get you inside before you catch a cold.â
Thereâs no way youâre in danger of catching a cold. Youâre all warm as Dean slowly pulls away, making a movement like heâs considering diving between your legs and licking you clean, but deciding against it and hauling you fully into his arms instead.
Youâre grateful. Right now it feels like one touch could set you over the edge again, and youâre not sure youâd be able to take it. Deanâs mouth on your still aching cunt might actually kill you. It can be an experiment for another time, when youâre not in the middle of nowhere.
Because there will be another time. Dean wouldnât have done that if he didnât want more times. Wouldnât be cleaning you up with his own shirt, and grinning at you so affectionately when he tries to replace your shirt, and you shake your head in a cock-drunk daze.Â
âSweetheart, itâs covered in-â
âI know.â You mumble. âI like it.â
He laughs, kissing you once with a grin. âAlright then, dirty girl. Keep the freakinâ cum shirt, see if I care.â
You smile like an idiot as he pulls awayâlikely cleaning the roofâand then it hits you again. There will be more, because Dean- He- He said-
You sit up suddenly, pushing open the door, and Dean is running back in a second. He doesnât get to bend down to your level, though. You wrap your arms around his waist and bury your face in his stomach before he gets the chance.
âI, uh-â He clears his throat, tugging on your hair until you look up to meet his gaze. âWhatâs- Are you good?â
In the dark, with all the shadows and lights, and the vast night sky above him, he looks like an angel. Not the real kind, but the story kind. That only protect and care and guide you home, even ifâas long as Dean is here, with youâyouâll never need to be guided.
Dean is home.
âI love you too.â You whisper, and his eyes widen. âAnd you donât have to say anything. I know you feel it too, and I- youâre mine, and Iâm yours, and thatâs it.â
He nods slowly, his thumb dropping to trace over your lips.Â
âOnly competition I have is Baby, right?â
Normally, Dean would laugh at that. But tonight, his throat just bobs as he shakes his head.
And his voice is hoarse when he speaks.
âNever any competition for you. I feel it.â He mutters your name with that same reverence returned. âAlways feel it. And I- Thank you.â
You canât stop your smile. âOf course. I love you, Dean. I mean it.â
His lips twitch. âI know.â
End Note: God, help me. I'm giving myself impossible standards.
