OKAY
Correct me if anyone has pointed it out already, but on my millionth rewatch of season 2 episode 6 of Good Omens (needed a good cry), I noticed a detail that, I feel, heavily supports, The Magic Trick You Didnât See theory and it is this:

I mean do I even need to explain?
Itâs at the very end and shows up only for like a second but:
If life begins after coffee, then what came before wasnât real life, but just what Metatron meddled with??
Only now, after Aziraphale has accepted his offer (& the coffee), does he stop editing the Book of Life? Letting the proper life begin??

something i think about constantly is this one guy at the nursing home i used to work at whose hands and fingers had crumpled in on themselves, not as a fist but sorta like an accordian or a zigzag, where one set of joints was pulled into the palm but the tips of the fingers were pulled outwards
and the last time i was at my nana's, i noticed the tips of a couple of her fingers had something similar going on, where it looked like the tip of the middle was permantly pulled to the side, making it crooked at the end
and my mother of course with all the health problems as me has the same crooked fingers, all pulled in similar directions
all of them say that arthritis caused it
if i look at my own hands, the tip of my middle finger peels backwards, which i was told was a symptom of Ehlers-Danlos, hypermobility, where the fingers would overextend themselves. the knuckle of my ring ringer doesn't jut out as much either, and my pinkie fingers are typically stiff and lately, as i continue my treatment, it almost feels like they're getting pulled off to the side as well. ive even developed a small callous on the palm right below the pinkie, where the bone seems to press against (and theres no other reason i would have a callous there)
i also think about how arthritis is supposed to start in the extremities, the hands and feet, and again in my feet it's the pinkie toe that's crunched up and pulled to the side, and the pinkie toe which i first noticed was getting less crunched as i continue treatment
and it all just perfectly aligns with the muscle tension patterns characteristic of neander foot/morton's foot. the primary compensation pattern is turning the feet outwards (to make the big toe reach the ground properly), which overuses the fibularis muscles. the fibularis brevis muscle in particular connects to the beginning of the pinkie toe, like so

...so if that muscle is overtight, which toe is going to get pulled out of place first? the pinkie toe.
and all that would perfectly explain why overusing muscles can lead to arthritis, because that's what arthrtis is: muscles that get so, so, so overtight that the joints themselves can become damaged just from how hard the muscle is pulling on them, damage which accumulates overtime and gets progressively worse because, well, you can't just not use your muscles
and it's??? treatable??? even has a distinct cause???? im curing my own arthritis??????? hello???
#but the infuriating thing is that im not officially diagnosed with arthritis because i don't have the damage#in fact NOTHING shows up on tests or machines. which claim that for all intents and purposes im perfectly healthy#but like arthritis can't just come out of nowhere. i have all the same symptoms as my mum did when they were young#but i was told that i shouldnt expect to have the same problems that they do??? even though everything lines up???#everyday i am blessed to have a doctor who takes me at face value regardless of what comes up on tests#cus holy shit. if i had been forced to wait until legitimate damage started occurring to my joints i might have just shot myself#but the fact that it can be treated...i still cant fully digest that#i feel better with each passing week. regained the ability to do things that i had feared were lost.#i dont know how much ill be able to get back but like tbe sheer amount that ive already been able to get back#fatals physio corner#how do you even begin to tell people that you figured out how to treat arthritis#much less without a phd

I want to get more involved with local orgs because frankly feeling powerless and watching the news is really making me physically ill so I want to do something but i really want a job or to volunteer where i can just put fliers up or package food/supplies because if i expend myself too much after work I might have another mental break and I really donât want that .
#Iâm just at a loss I want to not be a powerless bystander but at the same time just going to work and feeding and clothing myself is a#struggle to the point where I canât do anything outside of working and going home and making sure my space is clean#even going out with friends is hard I canât even watch shows or do things that make my life worth living .#gwon#I want a job with meaning and purpose that also pays my bills#and I donât want this to come off as âwoe is meâ type of shit but Iâm just so tired of politicians Iâm so tired of nothing changing I want#to change I want to help but I donât know how to without significant detriment to myself at the moment

Steaming streaming pile of refuse.
It had one bright moment in Alaska, and now it may as well be over. It completely abandons a thought-provoking plot in favor of spoonfed parody.
Time to re-read the book instead.
#tht season 6#hulu: the handmaid's tale#the writing is supremely awful#the dialogue is shallow#the characters are superficial cardboard cutouts of themselves#the show discards all internal or external contemplation on what large scale societal tragedy does#and instead draws all conclusions for it's audience#the actions seem like a recycled interpretation of grasping at what worked in the past without a sense of purpose moving forward#everything is stalling fits and starts and nothing seems like it has genuine consequence#we've lost the bite of Gilead villainy when we should feel it most as they insidiously expand global empire and normalize atrocity#it's shameful#june osborne#serena joy waterford#commander lawrence

Why does instagram keep showing me shitty over gorey superhero cartoons go away
#I literally couldnât care less#if your story is gorey become you think its cool and edgy or itâs there for shock factor#then news flash itâs just shitty#like. okay. I didnât need to see a slow motion shot of this guy being torn to shreds as he runs through this other guy whoâs Made Of Metal#and I did not need to see that other guy literally ripped in half#what purpose does it serve? absolutely nothing#I donât know if this is a shitty take or what but#I just feel like. if it doesnât serve a purpose. then itâs not needed you know itâs just pointless and youâre just doing it to be gross#you can make the point youâre trying to make 99% of the time just as impactfully#but you donât need to show off the internal organs of multiple human beings#iâm not saying never use gore ever- i just think too many stories lean on it as a crutch to gross people out or be edgy or whatever#I watched a movie recently and it was effectively just gore because they were trying to be edgy#and it wouldâve been fucking FINE without it#like. especially horror movies. that pisses me off real bad.#if in a horror movie. all youâre relying on is The Gross. and not The Horror. then you have missed the point.#some movies are designed to be like that so theyâre whatever#like final destination and shit like that#but yâknow when the focus is on something like the paranormal and a monster and youâre just like!!! look!!!! hereâs a person being slowly-#fuckin. grinded into a paste for 4 Minutes With Nasty Sounds And Visuals#then weâve lost the focus and itâs more just these people being dipshits than it is a scary movie#Iâm rambling.#point is!!!! gore can be used but I feel like unless it Serves A Purpose itâs useless and just gross#stop using it to be edgy or make your story âcoolâ itâs not#youâre just boring actually#apologies for the tag ramble#If you like these shows good for you! genuinely! i will not be partaking

So I subscribe to the "Coffee Cup" theory regarding the Metatron making Aziraphale more suggestible, and therefore he was affected by a minor miracle (I don't think this was the whole reason that Aziraphale decided to go to Heaven, but I do think it was a factor in it) With this in mind, I haven't seen anyone suggest something, and it was kind of a "blink and you'll miss it" moment in the credits, that was actually set up previously through Crowley.
So when Crowley is in the elevator in Heaven, his disguise gets wiped away after a light in the elevator passes over him as it's going back down to Earth.
With that in mind, I rewatched the credits again because I noticed something when Aziraphale was in the elevator going UP to Heaven. That same light passes over him and the expression on his face changes ever so subtly. It's like a look of quiet determination suddenly comes over him.
My personal theory is that that light in the elevator not only removes glamours or disguises, as it did with Crowley, but it also removes miracles or anything of influence. So when that light passed over Aziraphale, it removed whatever the Metatron did to him. And the Metatron overlooked that detail because he never goes to Earth.
I could be reading too much into it, but that's my own little personal theory and I'm sticking to it.
#good omens#good omens 2#crowley#aziraphale#ineffable husbands#i saw it and i couldn't stop thinking about it#it's probably nothing but then again it could be something because nothing they did in this show was without purpose#good omens season two

Incredibly unpopular DD born again opinion but if Foggy dies I Will Not Care. If ANYTHING happens to Karen Iâm killing people. A lot of people.
#talking to the wall#im sorry Foggyhead mutuals I respect your hustle#but I just DGAF#to be clear I like comics Foggy.#I donât think DD works as a character without him he serves narrative purpose etcâŚ#Show Foggy is boring at best and grating at worst#Elden Henson is a weak link in a pretty solid (for a marvel property) cast of actors#he doesnât play comedic well and he plays serious very boringly. a lot of this is due to the writing. they give him nothing to work with#âď¸

i really want that the consequences of this arc to haunt cellbit for a very very long time
#shiros salt#sadly what i have in mind is kinda ooc#things like pac unconsciously avoiding him#bagi showing signs of trauma from having her feelings continuously invalidated#not things that they are doing on purpose but that make his guilt eat him from the inside out#they supposedly are in good terms but neither trust him and they probally never will and theres nothing he can do to fix it#he just has to accept what he did and be thankful they even have forgiven him#i just want him to suffer without a chance of it getting better#cellbit#qsmp cellbit#qsmp

Justice for jolyne wdym emporio defeated pucci
#can i say maybe i dont like where this is going bc i dont like the priest. like why not have dio do all this. i have to endure his boring#self while not having any motivation bc i still dont know why he wants to do all this bc that backstory doesnt justify anything#while dio is in the background and he has a motive to hate the joestars and create a world without them. idk#this is like light and near but unjustified#i would have prefered the priest resurrecting dio in some strange way than him doing all this i think#and i still dont like his powers âđť they dont make sense to me and the evolution doesnt either. how can you just flip stands.#also his rant about how he killed all his enemies... josuke and giorno are out there now lmao#retracting my statement they changed the opening but just this last episode#i do like the destiny stuff like the same thing happens in a new world bc of necessity and the whole plot has been about things happening#because it needs to happen but why does this reset need to happen??? why does pucci want it?? so everyone can be happy?? why??#literally nothing that happened to him has been the joestars fault. dio brainwashed him? ok SHOW IT#like the plot is okay but the priest doing all this makes no sense it could be anyone at this point#okay i get it now destiny is like gravity.... but his stands changing makes no sense still. the disc thing got out bc of the plant baby. ok#but the gravity just changed to something else entirely??? to time??#he kept repeating time and space but a space stand would be the hand. gravity is something else entirely#its not like velocity>acceleration or star platinum and the world velocity>time. that makes sense#gravity and time is like my stand makes anything into ice cream and then it makes things disappear#rant at this point but yeah#okay control. the priest wants to know exactly what is going to happen at all times to be prepared and evolve?? and why would dio want this?#weather report...... i mean it was meant to be#yeaaahhh emporio roast him#irene and anakiss ajdhaisjaisjakakakak#i might be crying but this doesnt change my pucci criticisms#the ending song..... incredible choice#i think i liked golden wind too much and i cant control myself and not compare#but pucci doesnt make sense to me here apart from being a priest and wanting to fulfill 'god's' purpose or whatever that means#so now there is a new world but with joestars but they dont have stands?? or just pucci doesn't exist (or dio)#so just the prison gang doesnt get them. but ermes didnt go to prison either. idk#talking tag#watching jojo

I always forget just how many love songs I have in my playlist until Iâm having an ultra-love-repulsed day and have to try my best to contain my breakdown until I get home
#21 out of 61 songs are related to love in some way#and it always feels like my playlist is trying to give me as many in a row as it can#mustâve gotten like 5 one after the other while walking home today#itâs too much of a hassle to keep taking my phone out of my backpack to switch songs so I just grit my teeth and bear it#and I know my playlist literally canât read my mood. itâs not sentient. itâs a program#but when Iâm so strung out it really does feel like itâs doing it on purpose#and hearing those songs makes everything so much worse#days like these I cannot stand any mention of love or romance or sex or anything else of the sort#I canât read or think about it without feeling awful#canât draw canât write canât watch shows. nothing#worst thing is I never know when Iâll be having a day like this so I canât prepare by isolating myself or anything#like preparing a separate playlist with no love songs#bc the only way to find out is to get triggered#which⌠isnât something I particularly like doing. at all#and I canât even indulge in my latest interests because guess fucking what it centres around#ughhhhhhhhh. why couldnât I have just stayed bi and not have to deal with any of this

Feeling very much like one of those white women you see on nextdoor panicking that they & their kids are going to be kidnapped because they got âfollowedâ around a grocery store, but seriously I just got followed around the grocery store
#it was a girl iâd say anywhere between 15 and 20; white; thin; long dark hair; about a foot shorter than me maybe#i first noticed her while i was browsing meats; she was just walking up and down without any items in her hands#didnât think anything of it; figured she was looking for someone or something#she shows up again in the bread and snacks aisle#while i was choosing a couple of chocolate bars and browsing low calorie snacks i saw her bagging up some bakery bread#again thought nothing of it#lost her entirely in frozen foods but then she followed me all the way through the toiletries section#literally was just standing behind me#i wasnât sure if i was blocking her way so i turned at the end of the aisle and tried to step out of her way#but then she just stood there as well#so i picked out some gum and while i was looking for the flavour i wanted; she was still just standing right there#then i went to the self checkout and she claimed the one next to me#she JUST had the bread and i had about ten items but we finished at the same time?#it looked like at one point she was just pressing random things on the screen and dicking around on purpose#i zoomed out of there as soon as iâd checked out and i didnât notice her again outside the shop#like iâm absolutely certain she didnât follow me home#it couldâve just been unfortunate timing in a small store but i swear to god at one point she was sticking so close to me i was looking#around like âhas she somehow mistaken me for her mum or older sister or some other such person?â#i think i mostly noticed it because i kept worrying i was in her way and trying to get out of her way (especially with the gum thing#and the toiletries thing) but she only brought bread and she never said âexcuse meâ or anything#so i know i couldnât have been blocking anything she wanted to buy#she just continually was everywhere i turned lol#at one point i was thinking girl. if youâre short on change just say that#if youâre trying to rob me can you make a move already#i wear a little crossbody bag and i have one arm over it at all times so she really picked the worst possible mark#i thought about calling her out like âhey do you want to use my membership card? is that why youâre RIGHT thereâ#but i didnât have the energy#probably just a socially weird person with no sense of personal space. compels me though#personal

Obsession
possessive!bucky barnes x reader
summary: You donât even really like Bucky Barnes â heâs grumpy, kinda mean, and totally clueless about how you feel. But damn, heâs so hot itâs driving you crazy. Every time he walks in, all you can think about is what itâd be like if he just took you right there. You try to play it cool⌠but yeah, thatâs not happening.
word count: 6021
WARNINGS: 18+ explicit content, MDNI. curse words, masturbation, dirty talk, degrading, praising, desperation, fingering, teasing, PiV, unprotected sex, rough sex and he talks through it, breeding, overstimulation, oral (m receiving), possessive behavior.
A/N: iâm horny, okay?âŚ
You donât have a crush on Bucky Barnes.
That would imply affection. Admiration. Maybe even a little emotional investment.
You donât have any of that.
What you do have is a deeply inconvenient, soul-destroying case of lust. A constant, throbbing ache between your legs every time he walks past. A full-body reaction to the way he stretches, or leans on the counter, or wears those fucking grey sweatpants like a goddamn weapon.
Itâs chemical. Itâs hormonal. Itâs not personal.
Because Bucky Barnes is grumpy. Bucky Barnes is quiet. And Bucky Barnes has absolutely no idea that heâs the reason you canât go three days without needing to fuck yourself stupid.
Like right now.
Heâs just standing there in the kitchen, back to you, broad shoulders stretching that worn black Henley like itâs a second skin. His hairâs short now, freshly trimmed at the nape, the kind of cut that shows off the sharp line of his jaw, the back of his neck.
Youâre staring. Again.
You donât mean to. But he makes a little grunt when he stretches â just a tired noise, nothing sexual â and you nearly whimper like a kicked dog. Instinct. Pavlovian response.
And he doesnât notice. Not even a flicker of awareness as he pours his coffee and walks out, oblivious, muttering something about the mission report.
You just stand there, holding a spoon, clenched thighs and flushed cheeks like youâve just been fucked by the idea of him.
Itâs getting worse.
Like, medically worse.
Youâve gone from horny to feral to clinically unwell, and itâs all because of one man.
One grumpy, emotionally constipated, vein-poppingly hot man who canât say a sentence without sounding mildly irritated. Who barely even looks at you unless youâre in the way. Who definitely doesnât like you â and yet somehow owns your nervous system like a fucking landlord.
And itâs not fair.
Because heâs not even nice to you.
Heâs short with you in meetings. Scoffs when you crack jokes. Gives you that look when you say something mildly reckless on a mission â like youâre exhausting. Like youâre annoying.
But then heâll do something that ruins you completely. Like grunt your name low and gravelly when tossing you your gear. Or casually push you out of the line of fire with one big, rough hand and say, âWatch it, sweetheart,â like youâre some dainty little thing.
You pace your room that night, ranting to no one.
âI donât even like him,â you mutter, folding laundry with violent purpose. âHeâs so rude. He never smiles. Doesnât talk to anyone unless he has to.â
Your shirt gets yanked onto a hanger too hard. You nearly snap it.
âAnd he doesnât even like me. Not even a little. Iâm just some girl who laughs too loud and gets in his way andâoh my god, I would let him ruin me.â
Thatâs probably the most honest thing you said all week. Youâd let him manhandle you. Throw you over his shoulder. Rail you into the mattress like a war crime. That arm? The metal one? Youâve thought about it. God, youâve thought about it so much itâs starting to feel like a sin.
You canât help it.
You collapse onto your bed, still in your T-shirt and underwear, legs kicking uselessly against the sheets. Your body is hot â too hot. Your skin prickles, stomach twisting tight with the sheer need of it.
You shouldnât do it.
But fuck it â you do.
Your hand slips beneath the waistband of your panties like second nature, no hesitation. Youâre already soaked â of course you are. One fucking grunt from Bucky in the kitchen and youâve been like this all day, wound tight and throbbing.
Your fingers slide through the slick heat of your folds, and your hips twitch. You let out a soft, breathless whimper, biting your lip like itâll help.
It doesnât.
Heâs all you can think about.
Bucky, with that low rasp of a voice. Bucky, sweat-slicked and panting, muscles straining above you. Bucky, staring down at you like youâre a mess he likes making.
You rub lazy circles around your clit, teasing yourself, letting it build slow. Letting the images crawl behind your eyes:
His hands gripping your thighs, spreading them open.
That cold metal arm wrapped around your throat, holding you in place while he pounds into you, relentless and filthy.
His voice in your ear, rough and possessive ââYou been thinkinâ about this, sweetheart? Been touching yourself like a needy little thing?â
Your fingers move faster.
You arch into the mattress, breath stuttering, hips chasing the pressure. Your other hand slides up under your shirt, finds your breast and squeezes hard, tugging at your nipple.
âFuck,â you whisper, squirming, already so close itâs pathetic.
You imagine his hand â that hand â between your legs. Imagine him shoving your panties to the side with those cool, precise fingers and just⌠watching you squirm. Watching you come undone with that unreadable expression of his, like heâs filing it away for later.
You imagine him making you come like this. Telling you youâre not allowed to stop. That youâre gonna do it again, and again, until youâre crying.
Your thighs start to shake.
You gasp, pressing harder, grinding down. Your toes curl, muscles tensing, pleasure tearing through you like lightning â sharp, wet, overwhelming.
You come hard, moaning into your pillow, breathless and ruined, hand still trembling between your thighs.
And then?
You lie there. Sticky. Hot. Unsatisfied.
Because no matter how many times you make yourself come, itâs never enough.
Not when itâs him you want.
Not when itâs Bucky fucking Barnes.
âââ
Youâre minding your business. Truly. Peacefully. Drinking your stupid little smoothie, scrolling through intel reports on your tablet, trying so hard not to think about last night and the shame spiral that followed.
Youâre in the common room, feet tucked under you, hair up, living a clean and quiet life.
The front door hisses open. Voices filter inâSam laughing, Nat muttering something dry, Steveâs boots heavy on the floor.
And him.
Bucky.
You donât look up at first. You donât need to. You can feel him. Like some sixth sense activated just by his presence, like the air itself is different when he walks into it.
But then you do look up and you regret it immediately.
Heâs just back from the field. Tactical gear still clinging to him, black shirt soaked through with sweat in that way that makes it stick to every hard line of muscle underneath. The sleeves are tight around his bicepsâdangerously tightâmaking it look like the fabricâs seconds from giving out under the strain of his arms.
His hairâs damp, just messy enough to be criminal, a few strands sticking to his forehead. Dog tags resting against his chest. Black cargo pants slung low on his hips, clinging to his thighs like they were custom-made by someone with your exact problem.
Heâs flushed from exertion, a little dirty, jaw tight like heâs still coming down from combat.
And he doesnât notice you. He just walks past, arm flexing as he drags his glove off with his teeth.
You actuallyâphysicallyâhave to grip the edge of the couch.
You squeeze your thighs together so tight your eyes almost roll back. Your smoothie is sweating in your hand, condensation dripping onto your leg, and itâs the least of your problems right now.
Because that man?
That man could rail you into next week with the anger he carries in his shoulders alone. Youâd let him wreck you in the debriefing room, up against the wall, still wearing that gear and not saying a word.
Youâd tear those tactical pants off with your teeth.
And he just keeps walking. Oblivious. Like heâs not singlehandedly dragging you through the gates of horny hell.
âGod,â you mutter under your breath, heart hammering. âYouâre gonna kill me.â
He pauses for half a second like he mightâve heard you. Glances over his shoulderâjust once.
And then heâs gone, down the hall.
You stare at the door for a long time, smoothie forgotten, thighs still clenched like your life depends on it.
You need help. You need prayer. Exorcism. A cold shower.
Or maybe you just need him to ruin your entire existence.
You barely make it back to your room.
Your legs are shaking. Your mindâs a blur. All you can see is himâsweaty, panting, muscles strained beneath that black t-shirt. His arm flexing, the curve of his jaw, those goddamn tactical pants hugging every inch of thigh like a threat.
You lock the door behind you with trembling fingers.
You donât even bother taking your clothes off properlyâjust shove your hand down your shorts as you collapse back onto your bed, legs spread, head spinning.
He looked so good.
Your fingers slide through your folds, already wet, your body acting like itâs been starving for him. Like itâs been waiting all day, all year, for a glimpse of that man so it can break down on command.
You rub your clit in tight, needy circles, moaning quietly.
Your eyes flutter shut.
You picture him over you, sweaty and still in gear, that black shirt pushed up just enough to show the cut of his stomach. You imagine his voice, low and rough, right next to your earââCouldnât even wait, huh? Needed me that bad?â
Your hips buck, thighs shaking, pleasure building fast and desperate.
âFuckâBucky,â you gasp, breath catching.
You donât hear the quiet footfalls in the hall.
Donât hear the door next to yours click shut.
Donât know heâs just gotten back to his room.
But he hears you.
Bucky stops with one boot halfway unlaced.
He frownsâstill half in mission modeâuntil he hears it again: a faint whimper through the wall. A soft gasp. Thenâhis name. Muffled. Almost whispered.
His blood goes still.
He steps closer to the wall, heart suddenly pounding, every nerve pulled tight.
Another moan. Higher this time. Desperate.
He can hear the rhythm nowâquiet, wet sounds, a bed creaking slightly with every movement. Youâre touching yourself. Saying his name. Whimpering like itâs been torturing you.
His mouth goes dry. Something low in his stomach twists.
He shouldnât listen.
But he doesnât move. Doesnât even breathe.
You donât know heâs thereâdonât know youâve already ruined him. That heâs standing on the other side of the wall, jaw clenched, cock straining against his pants, while you moan into your pillow and come with his name on your lips.
âââ
The next day, you tell yourself youâre fine.
You look fine. You act fine. You sit in the common area with your laptop open and a mug in your hands like a picture of peace. The night before? Never happened. The hand between your thighs? The breathy moans into your pillow? The orgasm that left you limp and half-ashamed?
A delusion. A private, pathetic delusion.
Until he walks in.
And your entire body remembers.
Bucky enters like itâs nothing. Like heâs nothing. Joggers low on his hips, black T-shirt riding up in the back, hair damp from a shower and curling just slightly around his ears.
You look up instinctively.
And he looks right at you.
Your breath catches. Your stomach drops. He holds your gaze for half a secondâhalf a second too longâthen nods, casual as ever, and heads to the kitchen.
No hello. No smirk. Nothing to suggest he heard the way you moaned his name with your fingers stuffed between your thighs like you were starving for him.
He doesnât say a word.
You try to refocus, try to look at your screen and breathe, but your eyes keep flicking back.
Heâs moving around the kitchen now, calm, quiet, efficient. Forearms flexing with every movement. The joggers cling when he crouches to grab something from a low cabinet, and your mouth actually goes dry.
Your thighs squeeze together.
He knows.
He has to know.
But heâs pretending like he doesnât, and itâs driving you fucking insane.
You donât even want to like him. Heâs grumpy and rude and dismissive. He doesnât flirt. He barely talks. He exists like a thundercloud with muscles and you still want to cry from how badly you want him.
And now he knows.
Now youâve moaned his name with a hand between your legs, and heâs seen you since and said nothing.
You want to crawl into the floor.
You want to jump him.
You want him to ruin you until you canât even say your own name.
He walks past you again with a cup of coffee, eyes flicking toward youâslow, heavy, unreadable.
And this time?
You swear thereâs a hint of a smirk.
He leans against the counter, sipping his coffee, that black mug dwarfing in his gloved hand. The steam curls around his face, catching the light, and heâs just staring at nothingâcompletely unreadable.
Until he speaks. âSleep okay last night?â
You freeze. Your heart flatlines. Then kicks into overdrive.
You glance up too fast, trying to act casual, but your grip on the mug betrays youâtight, white-knuckled.
âYeah,â you say, blinking. âWhy?â
Bucky shrugs. Sips again. His face is all calm, cold stillness. Like heâs discussing the weather. Not like he heard you moaning his name behind the paper-thin wall like your soul was leaving your body.
âNothing,â he says, low and even.
You swallow hard. Try to hide the heat crawling up your neck.
You stare at him. Waiting for something. A look. A smirk. A single flicker of anything.
But he gives you nothing.
Just turns back toward the hallway, casual as ever, coffee in hand, like he didnât just dangle a loaded gun over your head and walk away.
And as he disappears down the hall, your thighs press together again.
Youâre so fucked.
âââ
You try to sleep.
You really, really do.
You toss. You turn. You fluff your pillow. You kick the blankets off and pull them back up. You stare at the ceiling and beg your brain to stop replaying the way he looked in that shirt. The way his voice dropped when he asked about your night. The nothing he gave you like a damn grenade and walked away.
It doesnât stop.
It wonât stop.
You squeeze your thighs together for the fifth time in twenty minutes, but it only makes it worse. Your whole bodyâs achingâburning. Tight with the need thatâs been building for the entire day.
You glance at the door. You know you should get up and lock it.
But you donât. Because youâre tired. And turned on. And pathetic.
âFuck it,â you whisper, dragging your hand under the sheets. âIâll be quiet.â
You bite your lip as your fingers slide down, already warm, already soaked. You work slow at first, trying to stay silentâjust enough to relieve the pressure. Just enough to breathe again.
But then your mind starts drifting.
To him.
Always him.
Bucky in the gym, sweat-slick and scowling. Bucky walking past you post-mission like a walking sin. Bucky pressing you into your mattress with that big metal hand wrapped around your throat, voice rough in your earââYouâre so fucking loud for me, baby.â
You gasp. Then whimper. Soft. Barely audible.
But he hears it.
Heâs in his room again. Reading. Trying to pretend like he didnât spend all day imagining the look on your face when he asked about your sleep. Trying not to picture your hand between your thighs again.
And then he hears you.
Again.
A muffled moan, breathless and aching, like itâs being pulled out of you against your will.
He stands without thinking.
Crosses the hall with quiet, deliberate steps. His pulse is steady, but something low is stirringâsomething primal. Something possessive. The kind of heat that doesnât burnâit consumes.
He stops outside your door.
Closed. Not locked.
He doesnât even knock.
The handle turns with the softest click, and thenâ
He steps inside. The door shuts behind him with a quiet snick.
You donât hear it.
Youâre on your back, one knee bent, your hand buried under the hem of your shorts. Your head is tipped back against the pillow, mouth open in these soft, gasping little whimpers as you chase the edge, hips twitching, breath fogging in the dim light.
You have no idea heâs there.
Not until you hear him speak.
âDidnât I just ask if you slept okay?â The voiceâhis voiceâcracks through the quiet like a whip.
You bolt upright.
Everything inside you lurches, heart ramming against your ribs, a violent rush of heat and panic rising through your chest like youâve been caught in a fire. Your hand yanks back from your shorts like itâs been scorched, and you scramble to pull the blanket up, dragging it over your thighs as your breath shatters.
Your eyes fly to the source of the voice.
And there he is. Leaning against the door like heâs got all the time in the world. Arms crossed. One brow slightly raised.
His expression is unreadableâcasual, maybeâbut thereâs a flicker in his eyes. Something dark. Something hungry. Like heâs taking inventory of every inch of you in one glance.
You canât move. Canât think.
Your heartâs thudding like a drumline, and your cheeks go hot, burning as your stomach flips over itself in full-blown horror.
You can still feel your arousalâsticky, heat pressed between your thighs, your pulse fluttering in places heâs not even touched.
âBuckyââ you croak, throat tight. âIâwhat are you doingâhowââ
âThe door wasnât locked,â he says flatly.
Matter-of-fact. Like that explains everything.
And it kind of does.
You just sit there, still clutching the blanket to your chest like it can undo what he saw. As if it can erase the sound of you moaning into your pillow while your fingers worked yourself over to the thought of him.
He doesnât smirk. Doesnât leer.
He just watches.
Like heâs curious. Patient. Like heâs giving you a chance to dig your own grave or shut up and let him lower you into it.
You look at him and it hits you how big he is. Broad and solid, filling the doorway like a wall. The black t-shirt is stretched across his shoulders, tucked into his pants just enough to show the lines of his waist, and that goddamn metal hand is flexing at his side like itâs already made its decision.
And still⌠he doesnât leave.
Your voice breaks trying to fill the silence. âI didnât meanâ I thought I was quietâ I didnât knowââ
âI heard everything.â
That shuts you up.
His voice is calm. But itâs not soft. Not gentle. It sinks into your gut like a stone, and your thighs squeeze together before you can stop yourselfâbefore your body betrays you again.
You look away. You canât look at him. Not when youâre like thisâhair messy, skin flushed, caught in the act like a filthy little secret with your want written all over your sheets.
He moves. Not quickly. Not harshly. Just decisively. Like this is inevitable. Like he knew the moment he opened that door that he wasnât going to leave until you were ruined.
He crosses the room in two slow steps. Sits on the edge of your bed, right next to you. His thigh brushes yours, warm and solid, and your breath hitchesâyour entire body tensing as his presence crowds the air.
Then his handâthe metal oneâreaches out.
He takes your wrist. Your fingers are still damp. Still twitching from where they were buried between your thighs. He stares at them for a second, then meets your eyes.
âTouch yourself.â
You blink. âWhatââ
âI said touch yourself,â he repeats, a little lower this time. âShow me.â
Your heart slams. His grip stays locked around your wrist, not forcingâbut not letting go either. He doesnât need to threaten. Doesnât need to beg.
Heâs already heard you fall apart for him.
Now he wants the show.
And fuckâyour body obeys before your brain can stop it.
You shift beneath the covers, breath shaking, eyes wide as your hand slides back down, slipping under the waistband of your shorts.
Your skinâs hot. Everything throbs and youâre soaked.
Shame prickles in your chest, but itâs drowned by the way he watchesâfocused and still, his hand still gripping yours like he owns it.
You let your fingers find that spot again, slick and swollen, and you shudder.
��Fuck,â you whisper, breath catching.
His voice cuts through it. Soft. Direct. âYouâve been touching yourself thinking about me?â
You nod, cheeks burning.
âAnd now you canât stop, can you?â he murmurs. âPoor thing. You want me this much, baby?â
You let out a tiny, broken soundâsomething between a gasp and a whimperâand press harder.
His metal thumb strokes over the inside of your wrist, slow and thoughtful, like heâs testing your pulse. Youâre so wet your fingers glide without resistance, your hips moving on their own.
âMessy little thing,â he mutters. âGod, youâre desperate. Didnât even lock the door.â
His flesh hand moves too nowâreaching up to push your hair from your face, tilting your chin toward him.
âYou wanted to get caught, didnât you?â
You shake your head, but your body betrays youâback arching, thighs tensing, rhythm faltering as your orgasm creeps up again, fast, tighter than before.
He sees it. Feels it. And he knows.
âYou gonna come for me?â he whispers. âRight here, baby? With my hand around yours and your pussy soaking your sheets?â
You sob his name and he finally leans inâbreath warm against your cheek.
âGood girl.â
Your fingers slip againârhythm stuttering, body caught in that maddening edge.
He watches you falter. Watches your mouth fall open, brows pull together, your thighs start to shake with the pressure of holding yourself there. So close. Too close.
And thatâs when he moves. His grip on your wrist tightens just enough to make you freeze.
âLet go,â he says.
You whimper. âButââ
âI said let go.â His voice leaves no room for argument.
You obey. Your hand slips from your shorts, fingers slick and trembling, and your chest rises in short, desperate breaths as he shifts closer.
âBuckyââ you gasp.
But heâs already there. His fingers slide between your foldsâjust one, at first, cool and unreal, brushing over your clit in a slow, torturous circle. Your hips jerk like youâve been shocked.
âGod,â you moan, clinging to the sheets, âfuckââ
âSo sensitive,â he murmurs.
His eyes are locked on your face, hungry, focusedâlike heâs memorizing the way your mouth falls open for him, the way your lashes flutter when he presses a little harder.
You canât stop the sounds you make.
Youâre already too closeâtoo muchâyour body wired tight from teasing yourself for nights and thinking of him, only him.
One metal finger dips lowerâin now, slick and slowâand your breath punches from your chest.
Your hips grind into it, chasing it like youâre starving.
He fucks you with it slow at first. Deep. Deliberate. Watching you unravel inch by inch.
âYouâve been dreaming about this?â he says, voice like gravel. âGetting off to the thought of my hands on you?â
You nod helplessly, fingers clenching around the sheets.
Another finger slides in.
Your body wails for itâso full, so good, the metal stretching you just rightâand your thighs tremble, back arching as your orgasm builds so fast it almost hurts.
âThen come for me,â he growls. âRight now. I want to feel how tight you get when you finish.â
You choke on a cry.
And then you fall apart.
Hard.
Your walls clamp down around his fingers, body convulsing as the wave hits youâsharp and electricâshaking through your entire frame with a loud, wrecked moan that echoes in your room.
His hand doesnât stop. He fucks you through itâslower now, drawing it out, holding your body steady with his free hand while you tremble and sob and drip around him.
You donât know how long it lasts. You just know youâve never come like that before.
Not in your life.
Not until him.
Youâre still gasping, thighs twitching, brain static from how hard you just cameâbut heâs not done with you. Not even close.
His fingers slip from you slow, drenched, and he brings them up to his mouth, sucking them clean without taking his eyes off you.
Then?
He smirks.
That low, dangerous smirk youâve only ever imagined. Dreamed about. Touched yourself to. And now itâs real.
âYouâve been thinking about me so much,â he says, voice thick with heat, âI bet you want to feel my cock, huh?â
You donât even answer. Canât. Your mouth opens but nothing comes out but a broken moan.
He laughs. Dark. Rough. âYou fucking slut.â
He stands. Hands go to the waistband of his pants.
Your breath catches, watching.
He doesnât rush. He doesnât need to.
The black tactical pants slide down slow over those solid thighs, revealing the outline of whatâs beneathâthick, heavy, hard. You feel your whole body clench at the sight.
He steps out of them, shirt already discarded somewhere between your moans, and heâs standing there now in nothing but black briefsâsoaked at the tip.
And holy fuck, heâs big.
Your lips part, staring. You want to drool.
He notices.
âGo ahead,â he murmurs. âLook at what youâve been aching for every night.â
He pulls the briefs downâslow, shameless.
His cock springs free, thick and hard and flushed at the tip, veins running along the length like something out of a wet dream. You whimper, thighs pressing together reflexively.
âYou wanted this inside you so bad you couldnât keep quiet,â he says, climbing onto the bed again, crawling over you until his weight cages you in. âMoaning my name with the fucking door unlocked.â
Your body arches up to meet him.
âPlease,â you whisper.
He fists his cock once, dragging his head through your soaked folds, teasing your entrance.
Youâre still sensitive. Still pulsing.
âIs this what you want?â he growls, notching the tip right against you. âWant me to stretch you open and fuck the brains outta that filthy little head of yours?â
You nod, desperate.
His cock sits heavy in his hand, the flushed tip glistening as he slides it through your slick folds again. Over and overâup and downâuntil youâre squirming beneath him, hips chasing every motion like you canât stand another second of not being filled.
But he doesnât give in. Not yet.
He drags the thick head over your entrance, slow and deliberate, just barely nudging inside before pulling back again.
âFuckâBucky,â you whimper, body arching.
âYouâre soaked again,â he growls, almost to himself. âYou got this wet just thinking about my cock?â
You nod, but itâs not enough. Not for him. He taps your clit onceâsharp and teasingâand your whole body jerks.
âSay it.â
Your breath catches. âIâI thought about it every night,â you gasp. âI wanted it so bad. I still want it. Please, Buckyââ
He groans, low and ragged. The tip of his cock presses at your entrance again. Just a little. Just enough to make you feel the burn of itâhow thick he is, how your body tries to pull him in even as he holds himself back.
âYou feel that?â he murmurs, circling your hole with maddening precision. âHow much your pussy needs me?â
You moan, desperate. Hands clawing at his shoulders, his arms, anywhere you can hold onto.
He grins. âNeedy little thing.â
Then he pushes. Just the tipâslow and thick, stretching you inch by inch.
Your mouth falls open. Breathless. Wide-eyed.
âOh myâfuck,â you cry.
He pulls back.
You sob.
âPatience,â he mutters, teasing your entrance again. âWanna feel you beg for it.â
âIâm begging,â you gasp. âPlease, Buckyâplease, I need it, I need you to fuck meââ
His mouth crashes over yours, swallowing your cry as he thrusts in deepâall the wayâfilling you to the hilt in one thick, devastating stroke.
Your back arches. Your vision whites out.
âSo fucking tight,â he growls against your mouth, rolling his hips, grinding in deeper. âFuckâyou were made for this, werenât you?â
He stays there for a momentâburied inside youâhis cock stretching you open so wide it burns in the best way, hips pressed flush to yours. You can barely breathe, your body trembling with the shock of just how full you feel.
Then he moves. A slow pull outâjust a few inchesâbefore slamming right back in.
You scream. Not from pain. From everything. The pressure, the friction, the heat of his skin, the weight of his body pinning you down like he owns you.
âGoddamn,â he hisses, his jaw clenched tight. âYouâre fucking dripping around me.â
Your nails dig into his back.
He starts thrustingâhard and fast, hips snapping against yours with brutal rhythm, the head of his cock dragging over every sensitive spot inside you like he knows exactly where to hit.
And all the while, he talks.
âBeen thinking about this tight little cunt every night since I got here. Didnât know it was mine to take.â
You moanâchoked and desperate.
âYou wanted it so bad, didnât you? Wanted me to catch you with your legs spread and fuck you like the filthy little cock-drunk slut you are.â
âY-Yesâpleaseââ youâre a mess beneath him, eyes wet, mouth open.
He grabs your jaw, thumb pressing into your cheek, forcing you to look up at him.
âLook at me,â he growls. âDonât you dare look away while I fuck your pussy.â
You blink up at him, dazed. And fuckâhe looks insane. Hair a mess, sweat dripping down his temples, that metal hand gripping your thigh so hard you might bruise.
And stillâhe doesnât stop. He fucks you like itâs punishment. Relentless. Ruthless.
Every thrust knocks the air out of your lungs, your body jerking with the force of it. The bed creaks beneath you, headboard slamming against the wall, your moans echoing like youâre meant to be heard.
âYou gonna come again, baby?â he murmurs, lowering his mouth to your ear. âYou gonna soak my cock just like you soaked your fingers last night?â
âBuckyâBucky, Iâm gonnaâfuck, I canâtââ
âYes, you can.â
His hand slips down between you, fingers rubbing fast circles over your clit as he keeps fucking you open with brutal thrusts.
âYouâre gonna come with me inside you, sweetheart. Youâre gonna come on my cock like a good little toy.â
And it snaps.
You cry outâloud and brokenâas your orgasm slams into you hard enough to steal your breath, your pussy clenching around him like a vice.
âFuck, yes,â he growls, grinding deep into you as you come, riding you through it. âThatâs it. So fucking tightâso good for meââ
Heâs close now too. You can feel itâhis thrusts stuttering, muscles tensing.
âGonna fill you up,â he groans. âYou want that, baby? Want me to come inside this perfect little pussy?â
Youâre still shaking, but you nod. Whimpering. Needy.
âPleaseâinsideâwant it so badââ
He buries himself deep and groans loudâraw and wreckedâas he spills inside you, hips jerking, cock twitching as you feel every hot pulse of it.
Youâre ruined.
His weight sinks down on top of you, breath ragged in your ear, and for a long moment, all you can hear is the sound of both of you panting.
The roomâs heavy with heat and sweat, skin sticking where it meets, your body still twitching with the aftershocks of how hard he fucked you.
Then he lifts his head. Eyes drag down your flushed face. Your parted lips. Your chest rising and falling fast. Still dazed. Still ruined.
He shifts back onto his knees between your thighs, hands gripping your hips, keeping you spread open wide beneath him.
âLook at this,â he murmurs, almost to himself.
Then he pulls outâslow and thick, his cock dragging against your fluttering walls before slipping free with a wet sound that makes you whimper.
And fuck.
You feel it immediately. The warm spill of him leaking out of youâthick and hot and so muchâtrickling down your folds and onto the sheets in sticky, glistening streams.
Bucky groans under his breath, his eyes locked on your pussy like itâs the most perfect thing heâs ever seen.
âGoddamn,â he mutters. âYou took it all. So fucking good for me.â
You try to close your legs on instinct, flushed and wrecked and so overstimulatedâbut he stops you with a firm grip, holding you open with his metal hand.
âUh-uh. Keep âem open. I wanna see it.â
His thumb slides down, spreads you further, letting him watch as more of his cum drips from your aching hole.
âLook at that mess,â he murmurs, gaze heavy-lidded, voice thick with pride and hunger. âYouâre leaking all over the place, baby.â
You shiver under him.
He swipes his thumb through the slick, then presses it back inâjust a littleâpushing some of it inside again while your body jerks from the sensitivity.
âFuck,â he growls. âYou were made to be filled like this.â
He leans in close, lips brushing the shell of your ear, breath hot and uneven.
âYouâre gonna clean me up, sweetheart,â he rasps, voice thick with command. âGonna taste every drop.â
Your pulse spikes. You barely have the strength to move, still reeling from the wreck heâs made of youâbut you obey, because you need it, because he told you to.
He shifts forward, settling between your thighs again. His metal hand spreads you open, keeping you wide for him, raw and messy. His other hand trails down, steadying his cock where it restsâstill hard, still slick with both of you.
He throbs against your skin, flushed and glistening.
You lean forward without hesitation, tongue flicking out to catch the first salty bead that clings to the head. He lets out a quiet groan above you.
His eyes burn as you take your time, licking slowly around the tipâteasing, deliberateâbefore your lips part wider and you sink down, wrapping him in heat.
Your cheeks hollow as you draw him in deeper, your mouth soft and eager.
âFuck,â Bucky grits, his hand sliding into your hair, curling tight. âYouâre good at this.â
You moan around him, letting the praise sink in as you begin to moveâslow, controlled bobs of your head. Your tongue swirls, tasting the mix of him and yourself, and it only makes you hungrier.
Youâre not just cleaning him up. Youâre savoring him and he knows it.
He pulls you up by your hair, not roughâcontrolled. Intentional. His mouth crashes onto yours in a kiss thatâs all teeth and heat and claiming, like heâs branding you from the inside out. His metal hand clamps around your waist, anchoring you, holding you still as he devours you like he owns you.
And fuck, maybe he does.
When he finally breaks the kiss, his breath ghosts over your lips, low and ragged.
âThatâs enough,â he murmurs, voice thick with something dark and satisfied. âYou did so well. Thatâs my good girl.â
Your stomach twists, body still trembling, as you melt into him â breathless and soaked, the taste of him still slick on your tongue.
He doesnât move for a while, just lets his weight settle into you, chest rising and falling against yours, heart still pounding beneath sweat-damp skin. His breath is warm where it fans over your cheek, his metal hand still possessively wrapped around your waist.
Then, gently, he shifts. His fingers slide up, brushing your hair back from your face with a tenderness that makes your throat tighten. He kisses your foreheadâsoft, slowâlike heâs claiming you all over again, but quieter this time.
âMy good girl,â he murmurs, the words husky but reverent now. âYou were perfect.â
Your eyes flutter closed at the sound, overwhelmed, wrecked in the best way. His flesh hand strokes your cheek, soothing the heat from it, while the metal one trails lazy circles over your spine.
âDid so good for me,â he whispers again, like a secret meant only for your bones.
You donât trust your voice, so you just nuzzle closer, tucking yourself into his chest.
Fuck, he did ruin you.

Part 3 of Simon Leaving During Sex Like a Coward
It started with flowers. Itâs not the kind you grab at the corner store in a panic, but ones clearly ordered days in advance â expensive, moody ones, all dark reds and deep purples. You didnât open the door when they arrived immediately. You just stood behind it, your arms crossed, and watched them through the peephole before deciding to get them.
On day two, he texted.
I know I donât deserve a reply. I just want you to know Iâm not giving up.
You left it on read on purpose. And it felt good.
On day three, he was parked outside your building when you came back from work. Just standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking up when you approached, but not moving toward you.
âYou stalking me now?â You said, not slowing your pace.
He didnât smile. âNo. Iâm just here in case you feel like yelling at me in person today.â
You didnât. You went upstairs and slammed the door a little harder than necessary, and when you looked out the window twenty minutes later, he was still standing there, doing absolutely nothing. Just waiting. Like a dog. A huge, sad, apologetic dog.
You caved on day five.
âFine,â youâd said, opening the door just enough to stare at him through the gap. âYou want a chance? Take me out. And I swear to God if you bring me to some âcozy little placeâ where the waitress flirts with you, I will throw your wallet in a river.â
He didnât even blink. âGot it.â
The first date was at a sushi place where the staff barely looked up. You sat across from him in silence until he cleared his throat.
âYou look good,â he said, nervous in a way youâd never seen before.
âI know.â
He cracked a smile. You didnât.
For a second date, he chose a little cafe by the river. You sipped your drink while he talked about stupid things, about his neighbor's cat and how he chipped a tooth once in a pub fight because he tripped over a pool cue â anything to fill the space. You just listened.
âYou donât say much anymore,â he said quietly after a while.
âI said you could take me out. Didnât say Iâd make it easy.â
He nodded, like he agreed with the punishment.
On the third date, he let you choose. You picked laser tag. You didnât go easy. You shot him in the back six times and made fun of how slow he was, called him grandpa, and asked if he needed a sit-down break. He called you a menace and grinned through all of it. When the round ended, and you were both panting in the hallway, he looked at you with something like relief.
âYou smiled,â he said, like it physically pained him to notice.
âIt was at your expense,â you said, wiping sweat from your neck.
âStill counts.â
By the fifth date, you were letting him walk beside you without an awkward amount of space. Still no kissing. He reached for your hand once, and you pulled away with a look so sharp he apologized out loud.
âYou donât get to touch me yet,â you said.
âRight.â
âBut you can carry my leftovers.â
âYes maâam.â
He got the tattoo on a Tuesday.
Didnât tell you about it. He just showed up at your door again, holding your favorite overpriced dessert like it was a peace offering. You opened the door and immediately raised an eyebrow.
âNo flowers today?â
âDidnât think theyâd survive the guilt trip you were gonna hit me with.â
âSmart.â
He stepped inside when you let him. âI got something,â he said, scratching the back of his neck.
âIf itâs another apology letter Iâm gonna start framing them like art.â You said with a smirk on your face.
He didnât say anything. Just tugged off his glove and held up his left hand. On the inside of his ring finger, you could see fresh ink. Your name in cursive letters.
ââŚAre you serious?â
âDead.â
You stared. âYou tattooed my name on your ring finger.â
âMhm.â
âLike. Where a ring would go.â
âExactly.â
You blinked at him, still shocked.
âIf this doesnât prove how sure I am about you,â he said slowly, âthen I dunno what will⌠but just to be safeââ He reached into his jacket and pulled out a small, sleek black bag from that stupid luxury brand you once mentioned in passing. âBribery.â
You snorted despite yourself. âYou really think a designer bagâs gonna make me forgive you?â
He looked sheepish. âNo. But I thought itâd make you laugh.â
You took it from his hand. âIâll laugh when I sell it and buy ten pairs of shoes.â
âThatâs fair.â
You opened the bag. Inside was your favorite candy, a folded napkin from the cafe, and a tiny note that said âI remember everything.â
You didnât say anything for a long moment. Then...
âYouâre really not gonna give up, huh?â
âNever.â
You sighed. âFine. You can kiss my forehead.â
He chuckled as he leaned in gently, pressed his lips just there, warm and steady, and didnât ask for more.
It wasnât until weeks later, after more petty jokes and slow conversations and him learning exactly how many hoops youâd make him jump through, that you finally let him spend the night again. You were already in bed when he came back from brushing his teeth, and you didnât say anything as he slipped under the covers. Just pulled him in, hands on his chest, legs sliding over his, the way they used to.
He kissed you carefully. Like he didnât want to push it. But you tugged him in with both hands, and he pressed you down into the mattress like it hadnât been months, like he was starving for every second of you.
When he was finally inside you again, moving slowly, sweat running down his spine, and arms shaking from trying to hold back, he looked at you like he could cry.
âI love you,â he said, voice breaking open on the words.
You rolled your eyes, breathless. âIs it my turn now to leave orrâŚ?â
He groaned and dropped his forehead to your shoulder, muttering something about you being a nightmare, and you just laughed and wrapped your legs around him tighter, because you knew damn well he liked it that way.
