Did it ever matter?
#wizard101#w101#wizzy101#wizard101 art#hehehe i like to think taking the divine paradox form is weirdly tragic for allison#like arc 3 breaks her because she always felt the need to play the role of the hero#she felt as if she didn't she'd get sent back home it was the only way to make sense of why she was brought to the spiral in the first plac#due to arc 2 events tho she feels her time is spent and fears every time she sleeps she might wake elsewhere#its not till she realizes not even the gods of this universe fit into their “roles” and the whole thing shatters for her#none of it mattered#and shes upset she grieves shes angry#i rly want to play into the fact she is just a weapon to this universe tbh

Pros and Cons of Hiring These Cosmere Characters to be Your Dog-Walker
Looking for a new dog-walker? Well, you could hire these Cosmere characters, but please make sure you carefully weigh the pros & cons first!
1. Kaladin
Pros: This man can handle SO MANY dogs at once! You were worried about adding your husky to the mix, since Huskateer isn't the most well-behaved dog...but this man seemed so confident that you let your husky join his group of dogs. And you know what? Huskateer has been so much more disciplined since he started following this Kaladin guy...
Cons: You know, in your deepest heart, that Huskateer respects and loves Kaladin more than you now.
2. Sebarial
Cons: Sebarial makes it clear that if you hire him to be your dog-walker, he will NOT walk your dog.
Pros: However, he does have a team of professional & highly trained dog-walkers who do the dog-walking for him, and honestly, they're the best around. Reasonable prices, too.
3. Ranette
Pros: She said she'd walk Stinky for free if she could use him to test out some dog-friendly products. Free service and supporting a woman in business?? Hell yeah!
Cons: It's weapons. It's all weapons. You don't WANT Stinky to have a rifle that even a dog can fire! What the hell, lady?
4. Vin
Cons: The first thing she said was, "Don't worry. I would never let someone else's dog get killed OR eaten" which was...perhaps not as comforting as she intended it to be.
Pros: She actually seems to be pretty good with dogs and when you pointed this out she said, "Yeah. It's because I had a dog assistant for a while" so at least she has a sense of humor?
5. Dedelin
Pros: He volunteered his eldest daughter for the job and spent a lot of time talking about how caring and professional and responsible she was. It all sounded great!
Cons: And then...he sent his other daughter? Like, it'll probably still be fine but that's weird, right?
6. Ulaam
Cons: When he saw how many dogs you had (five), all he said was, "Two arms isn't enough" and left. Which, I mean, it's fair if he doesn't feel comfortable walking a lot of dogs, but it felt a little bit rude.
Pros: Well...he came back. And he has five arms now. And you WOULD be freaked out if it wasn't so darn effective.
7. Adolin
Pros: The INSTANT he saw Mr. Waffles, Adolin complimented his excellent sweater. You knew that dog sweater would be a hit.
Cons: You saw Adolin showing Mr. Waffles some sort of dog fashion magazine and, uh, those outfits looked EXPENSIVE. Y-You're not made of money! Even if Mr. Waffles sure would look dapper in that suit...
8. Leshwi
Cons: Her first question was, "Does your dog like heights?" and you, trying to stay calm, were like, "How...is that relevant...for a dog walk?" And she was like, "So...only walking on the ground?" Anyway you didn't hire her.
Pros: You now know that you like it when tall women look at you with disdain, and self-discovery is always good, you know?
9. TenSoon
Pros: Who better to walk your dog than a big talking dog, am I right? Ha ha!
Cons: Shattered. Your worldview. It's shattered. Forever.
10. Dalinar
Cons: He was just a little, uh, too serious? "Every journey is important." "I am prepared to help your dog take his next step." "Even kings must walk their dogs." Like...Cheesecake just needs to pee during the day? It's not that deep?
Pros: Actually...Cheesecake has seemed wiser lately. You know that sounds crazy, but...
11. Allomancer Jak
Pros: Daffodil is always happy and sleepy when she gets home! You can tell she's getting great exercise with Allomancer Jak!
Cons: Y-Your dog didn't REALLY help stop a runaway train full of robbers, did she? Your pretty sure that those newspaper serials are embellished, but you are a bit worried about what exactly your Daffodil is doing on those walks...
12. Hoid
Cons: The first thing this guy said when he saw Duke Fluffington III was "Well, some dogs want to be a dragon, but your dog clearly wants to be a slug!" which was rude because Duke Fluffington III is only a LITTLE lazy!
Pros: He did a good job, actually....at least until he disappeared suddenly one day without warning. And he used to compliment Duke Fluffington III a lot, which was nice, saying how he was so nicely "fluffy" and not at all "crablike" or "slimy."
Wait, are these even pros?? That guy was just weird!

warm my bed — jey u.
warnings; stalking, oc is delusional but so is jey, continuous break ups, smut, creampie, oc is toxic, dark themes on OC's part, oral (m) receiving, p in v,
parings; black!oc zariah x jey uso
in my head, even if you tell me its over...i'll pretend you told me im your all.
jey let out a harsh breath. all he wanted to do was go inside and have a quiet night in—a little r&r. all of that went down the fucking drain soon as he laid eyes on someone his heart once held love for.
zariah.
lord forgive him, but was she bat shit crazy. in the last year, zariah turned jey's life into a living hell. the jealously was too much for him; cursing him out for interacting with female fans, stealing his phone, hacking into his socials, blocking people, getting into it with instagram ho's in his comments, she even got into an encounter with sexy red leading to her being escorted out the arena.
no matter how many times jey told her, it was only her—and it was—she didn't believe him. but breaking into his house? that was the last straw. he knew he looked crazy in the eyes, when you picked up a pair of panties from in-between the couch cushions and called him everything but a child of God.
and whole time they were hers.
he knew it was best to just call it quits than continue the cycle. so 2 nights ago, he packed up your things and as calm as he could, sent you on your way. in a perfect world? you went peacefully. but nah. in this world? you smashed his car windows and keyd your name into the side door.
you loved jey. truthfully! could you get a little crazy sometimes? sure. but in zariah's mind, her actions were justified. after all, jey was hers—her soulmate, her destiny. she'd known it from the moment they locked eyes across that crowded club last year. the electricity that crackled between them, the way the world seemed to fade away until it was just the two of them—that was fate. and fate couldn't be denied.
jey's head fell in his hands at the sight of zariah standing in his kitchen cooking...nothing but her apron covering her, "finally! i've been waiting, c'mere baby."
didn't he take her set of keys?
part of jey wanted to scoop her up, take her inside, and forget this whole bullshit. the way her ass curved perfectly, that small butterfly tattoo on her lower back, and the smell of her juices...he wanted to rip that apron right off her. but the rational part of his brain—the part that remembered the broken windows and the scratched-up car—kept him rooted to the spot.
"z, y'know you ain't supposed to be her. y'know that shit."
but zariah wasn't havin' it. she stepped closer, perfume wrapping around him like a familiar blanket, "how was work, baby?"
was her ears clogged or sum? she know her ass heard him. "z, what are doing here?"
confusion and betrayal flashed across zariah's eyes, "baby, i'm home. where else would i be? i cooked your favorite, daddy...and I can't wait to feed everything to you."
fuck, he loved that shit.
jey felt his resolve waverin'. the way she looked at him, all big eyes and pouty lips, had his mind spinnin'. for a hot second, he almost believed her—almost forgot the chaos of the past year, the constant drama, the jealousy that ate away at their relationship like acid.
zariah slid her arms around his waist pulling him to her. he felt her hardened nipples poking at him through the cottoned fabric, "z, when i packed yo shit, that met we done. im tired of this shit witcho ass."
zariah ain't give up that easy though. she pressed her body against his, soft curves meltin' into his hard muscles, "we both know you're lying. why don't i take this apron off? hm? i'm always so ready for you daddy. i'll let you cum anywhere you want."
jey's breath caught in his throat as she nibbled on his earlobe, sending shivers down his spine. his body was betraying him, responding to her touch like it always did.
"nah, z. we can't keep doin' this," he protested weakly, but his hands found their way to her hips anyway, "we do this every other week."
before he could stop her, she was on her knees, lookin' up at him with those big doe eyes. her freshly painted manicured fingers made quick work of his belt and zipper.
"z, hold up—" jey started, but the words died in his throat as she freed him from his boxers.
zariah licked her lips, eyes locked on his as she stroked him. "mm, i missed this dick, baby."
jey's head fell back as she took him in her mouth, her tongue swirling around him like she was tryna map every inch. the warm wetness of her mouth enveloped him.
z's lips wrapped around him tight, her tongue working magic as she took him deeper. jey couldn't help the low groan that escaped him, his fingers tangling in her hair.
"fuck, baby," he breathed, hips bucking involuntarily
z hummed around him, the vibrations sending sparks through his body. she pulled off with a pop, lookin' up at him with fire in her eyes. "that's right, daddy. this is my dick. it's all mine." her hand kept stroking him as she spoke, her grip firm and sure making sure to pull on the fat mushroomed tip.
before jey could respond, she took him deep again, hollowing her cheeks as she sucked hard. her free hand cupped his balls, rolling them gently as she bobbed her head.
jey's hips started moving on their own, thrusting into the wet heat of her mouth. jey knew he shoulda stopped this, but his body was on autopilot now. she swallowed him down again, taking him to the back of her throat. jey's knees nearly buckled as she worked him over, her head bobbin' up and down while her hand twisted at the base.
her tongue swirled around his tip before she took him back in, moaning around his length. the vibrations had jey seeing stars, "goddamn, girl." he panted feeling his legs shake and his stomach tighten
when his toes began to curl in his shoes, jey powered to find one active brain cell. he began to shake his head, "zariah stop! ah, shit i'm finna—"
she pulled off again, jerking him with her hand as she spoke, "shh. you see how good i make you feel? nobody can make you feel like this. you're all mine."
z's mouth was back on him, suckin' him like her life depended on it. her tongue swirled around the tip before she took him deep again, throat relaxing to take all of him. her free hand snaked around to grab his ass, pulling him deeper.
jey threw his head back on a moan, when she tickled that spot underneath his balls, causing him to erupt into her mouth. his grip on her hair tightened as he kept shooting spurts out. zariah gave him small sucks; ensuring he emptied ever piece of doubt of their relationship into her throat.
the sight of her heavily glossed covered lips suctioned around his dick gave him nothing but guilt. he should've kicked her ass out for this shit. how does someone destroy his car, breaks into his house, and sucks the soul from his dick in less than 72 hours?
zariah smirked up at jey, a string of cum connecting her lips to his softening dick. "that was just the appetizer, baby," she purred, rising to her feet
before jey's post-nut clarity could kick in, zariah was pushing him backwards. he stumbled, legs weak, 'til the back of his knees hit the couch and he fell onto it with her straddling him with a wild look in her eyes.
"i ain't done with you yet, daddy," she giggled, grinding against him. even though he just came, jey felt himself getting hard again.
"z, hold up—" jey started, but she silenced him with a deep kiss, her tongue swirling in his mouth. she tasted like strawberries and his own cum, a combination that had his head spinning
"shh, baby," zariah whispered against his lips. "just let me take care of you."
she reached between them, guiding him to her entrance. jey groaned as she sank down on him, her wet heat comforting him inch by inch. his hands gripped her hips on instinct, fingers digging into her soft flesh.
"fuck, z," he breathed as she started to move, rolling her hips in a slow, torturous rhythm
jey's head was racing and still hazy, caught between the floaty feeling of his orgasm and the nagging voice in the back of his head telling him this was a bad idea. but damn if zariah didn't feel this good, he could've pushed her off.
"you see how good we are together?" zariah whispered, her lips brushing against his ear, "how we're made for each other?"
he could barely speak with her pussy clentching around him like that. zariah picked up the pace, riding jey hard and fast. her hips moved in tight circles, grinding down on him with each stroke. jey's eyes rolled back, overwhelmed by the sensation. his hands roamed her body, gripping her ass and kneading her breast as she bounced on his lap. muscle memory taking over as he cupped her breasts, thumbs brushing over her hardened nipples. zariah threw her head back with a moan, arching into his touch.
"that's right, daddy," she breathed, "touch me. i'm all yours."
she picked up the pace, riding him faster, harder. the sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room, punctuated by their heavy breathing and occasional moans. jey felt like he was floating. her walls hugged his dick just right. he moved his hips to meet your owns.
he let out a grunt as he felt that familiar clench in his abdomen again, "shit! you take it so good, z. imma nut again. fuck! slow down, z."
zariah threw her head back, crying out in pleasure as her own release neared. you manage to slip your hand between your bodies to rub at your clit, "fuck, baby! yes, just like that!"
the couch creaked beneath them, barely able to withstand their frenzied movements. his hips kept thrusting up to meet her, chasing that sweet release.
she bounced' on his dick like her life depended on it. the sound of skin slapping' filled the room, mixed with their heavy breathing and low moans.
"tell me you're mine," zariah demanded, her voice breathy but firm. "say it, jey. tell me you belong to me. this pussy belongs to you, and you belong to me."
she was chasing her own release, but she was determined to make him cum first. her walls clenched around him, milking' his dick like she was tryna squeeze every last drop outta him. and she was.
he loved how you squeezed his length as loud mewls escaped your throat. your stomach dropped and your hips shuddered as he went deeper.
"i'm yours, mama. i'm all yours, baby. shit! z, i love yo crazy ass." he gasped out
jey's hips bucked up involuntarily, meeting her thrust for thrust. His hands gripped her ass tight, guiding her movements as he felt his second orgasm approaching fast.
a triumphant smile spread across zariah's face as she clamped down onto him with a whimper, flooding him with her orgasm. she slipped her tongue into his mouth and let out a groan as he released every drop of his cum into her without thinking twice.
they stayed like that for a moment. as the fog of pleasure began to clear, reality came crashing down on jey like a bucket of ice water. he blinked, suddenly all too aware of the situation he'd let himself get into. zariah was still on top of him, her body slick with sweat, kissing down his neck, a satisfied smile on her face, and their cum seeping onto his couch.
"fuck," Jey muttered, gently pushing her off him. "z, this…this can't happen again. i'm forreal."
what the fuck had he just done?
he'd let her in again, let her work her magic on him like always. and now here they were, right back where they started. jey groaned, rubbing a hand over his face.
"baby, what's wrong?" zariah murmured, nuzzling into his neck
jey stood up, fumbling to pull his pants back on. his head was spinning, guilt and regret mixing with the lingering pleasure. "nah, z. this? was a mistake. you gotta go, ma."
zariah's expression darkened. "what do you mean, 'a mistake'? you just told me you loved me. you said you were mine."
"I wasn't thinkin' straight. i ain't a fuckin' prize, z." jey ran a hand over his face. "look, i meant what i said before. we're done. forreal this time. ight? getcho stuff, i'll take you anywhere you wanna go."
zariah's face dropped, her sweet demeanor evaporating in an instant, "we belong together, jey! y'know we do. y'think, i'm gonna let all those little insta ho's have you? so easy? no! you're mine. what? you wanna move one of those bitches in?"
"oh my fucking god, mane! y'see? this that shit i'm calm bout, zariah! this jealousy shit! i ain't fuckin' no other bitches, yet yo ass can't see that shit! i'm tired of yo ass, bruh."
jey turned around to gather her stuff. he met what he said; zariah had to get her shit and go. and she had to leave naked? that's fine, too. when he heard a sniffle behind his back, he exasperated. here come this fake ass cryin'.
"i hate you so bad, jey," she sobbed, "i love you so much it hurts. all i want to know is if you still love me. if you're still inlove with me, josh...but, at least get me towel,"
jey sighed, shoulders slumping as he turned back to face zariah. his words caught in his throat as his eyes landed on her splayed out on the couch, legs spread wide.
their mixed cum was seeping out of her swollen pussy, glistening in the low light. it dripped down onto the expensive leather, creating a messy puddle. she ran a hand down her body, fingertips trailing over her breast, down her stomach, until they reached her slick folds.
"look what you did to me, daddy," she whined out, still sniffling her tears away. she dipped two fingers inside herself, coating them in their combined fluids before bringing them to her lips. her tongue darted out, licking them clean as she maintained eye contact with jey.
zariah knew exactly what buttons to push, how to play him like a finely-tuned instrument—
"i promise, i'll stop being bad." she pouted, sucking her fingers coated with her slick into her mouth
how many times has he heard that shit before?
—she always had.

Unfair We're Not Somewhere
Chapter Eight of I Can't Help Myself
Summary: With a little bit of help from someone who could relate a little bit too closely to your situation, Y/N tries to come clean. Tries.
Warnings: Mentions of pregnancy symptoms/ general pregnancy things, unsub mentions, plot.
A/N: Chapter Eight! I'm so excited for where the rest of this series is going to go, though I do feel like people are going to be a bit annoyed by this one lmao. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or in an ask! Don't be too mad...
Masterlist || Add yourself to the tag list
You sat quietly in the clinic as you waited for the pharmacist to fill your prescription - a simple pregnancy multivitamin that was supposed to help your food go down, make your hair shinier, and fix all your problems.
You wondered if the bottle could tell Spencer you were pregnant. You wondered if it could make him magically okay with that and prepare him for fatherhood, too.
Your phone buzzed, and you surfaced from the field of thoughts you'd been lost in as you checked it.
“Outside,” an unknown number had sent. You took that as your queue, stood up, and left the clinic, trying your best to avoid looking back at the small boy Spencer had been playing with.
You weren't sure if you were going to have a boy or a girl yet. You didn't mind either, though you'd always envisioned yourself with a big enough family that you assumed at least one of each was inevitable. Though even you had to admit how stereotypically nuclear that was, and how only 18% of the country was living that was lying anyway.
You shoved psychology from your head for a few minutes and let yourself breathe.
“Y/N!” JJ signalled from the driver's side of her still running SUV. She waved slightly, and you smiled politely as you quickly paced around to the side of her vehicle and got in.
“Hi,” you said, unsure if you should introduce yourself or not. She'd been in the office the day you'd been taken into custody (protection), but you still had yet to speak to her. She'd been exempt from protective duty so far due to her status as a senior field agent and the fact that she had two kids and a husband at home waiting for her.
You were sad she was the anomaly in the BAU, the only one with someone waiting on her.
“I'm Y/N,” you said, still unsure if you should hold out a hand or not. You hadn't made the best impression on most of Spencer's colleagues, and while you didn't think there was much point in trying, you still couldn't bring yourself to be intentionally blasé.
“I know, you're all we've been talking about for weeks,” the woman laughed, pulling out of the clinic car park and smiling at you.
“Oh, right. Case. Of course, I've heard you probably know more about me than I know about myself.”
“We have a profile, sure, but that's not what I meant.”
You nodded awkwardly and stared out the window for a second, the sky darkening slightly as it prepared to rain.
You drove for a few minutes before JJ spoke up again.
“I don't know if Emily told you, but it's actually my day off today,” she said, turning off into a cul-de-sac you'd never seen before.
“Oh, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I could've just got a taxi or something or just… gotten over myself. You didn't have to-”
“Yes, I did,” she looked at you for a second, cocking her head to the side in a gesture that said, ‘and you know why.’ It was a look only a friend would give, and you felt an instant connection with her.
How had Spencer found so many wonderful, big-hearted women to surround himself with, and how could you get in on it?
You supposed, by letting him get you pregnant, you'd probably found a cheat code for whatever the answer might have been.
“Anyway, it's my day off, so I promised my boys a fun day at home with mommy. We're doing finger painting and macaroni art. I hope you don't mind getting messy.”
“Wha-? Me? Oh. No, not at all,” you tried to seem nonchalant, but your heart suddenly beat faster now that you were faced with this unexpected opportunity. As a lecturer, you'd been surrounded by kids professionally for years now. 18 to 21 year old kids. The kind that already had defined morals, world views, and, secretly, alcohol tolerances. The last time you'd encountered any kind of child younger than 18 was when you yourself were under 18.
The joys of toiling away at a doctorate for the better half of your adult life. You knew how to talk to professors and scholars. You were absolutely scared shitless of interacting with a kid.
“H-How old are they?” You asked, trying to sound polite but falling somewhere between anxious and terrified with a simple stutter.
“Well, Henry is turning 8 in November, and Michael is just about 22 months. He's just about talking, which is as fun as you can expect.”
Her voice was tired, but there was genuine affection there, love for her kids and pride. You wondered if your voice would change if you'd suddenly begin speaking like that, too, about something other than a paper submitted to a journal or a job opportunity.
She pulled into a street parking space and turned off the engine as two bright haired little boys came bouncing up the path of their garden to greet her, stopping at the gate.
“Mommy! Michael got glitter on the carpet, and Daddy said we shouldn't tell you.”
“And you have no sense of loyalty when a pretty face comes around, do you?”
Hopping out of the car, you heard JJ's husband drawl as she greeted him with a kiss. She'd probably only taken half an hour to pick you up, but they were still greeting each other so warmly. For a second, you wondered what that would be like before you remembered throwing yourself into Spencer's arms the night before. Your face heated as you stood awkwardly at the side of the car, trying not to cradle your stomach as you watched the family interact.
Would your baby ever get that tall? Would it have brown eyes like Spencer, or one's more similar to your own? His hair was curly. Maybe your baby would get hair that waved like his, too.
After all, JJ's kids seemed like perfect compromises between her and her husband. Other people's kids didn't, though. You wondered a lot of things before JJ gestured you over again.
“Henry, Michael, this is Aunt Y/N. She's going to do those crafts with us today - after we've locked away the glitter and thrown away the key.”
You laughed as she wrapped an arm around your shoulder and pushed you forward into the chaos of two kids under ten.
You were a little startled as the smaller one - Michael - grabbed your hand. He had a pacifier in his mouth, though he was probably outgrowing it, and he stared up at you with big, wide eyes, blinking and sizing you up as he toddled along beside you.
Your heart grew three sizes, and you felt sorry for ever being afraid of interacting with the kids.
JJ whispered to her husband quickly as you entered the LaMontagne household, and he greeted you quickly.
“So you're Spencer's lady friend. It's nice to meet you. It's nice that you're real. Honestly, I was getting a little-”
A look from JJ cut him off, though he did still seem a bit confused.
“I'm sorry, am I under the wrong impression? JJ said you were pregnant with Spencer's baby, y'all aren't…”
“Oh my god-” you whispered, suddenly panicking again but whispering just in case. You weren't sure if the pair was religious, and though you certainly weren't, it probably wasn't the best time to blaspheme. You needed as much god as existed in the world.
“So, does everyone know?” You asked JJ, trying to keep your voice bright and calm, so Michael didn't take too much of an interest and grow frustrated by hushed tones. You knew enough about child development and psychology, it translated over, right?
“Everyone who's observant. Luke noticed the pregnancy vitamins in your bag, Tara was talking about your mood swings in the office the other day. I guess you told Emily earlier, and I have two kids.”
You nodded at the answer.
“And Spencer?”
“You haven't told him yet?” JJ asked, slightly surprised.
“If I told him, you'd know.”
“Well, you're right on that. He's not the most easy-going during pregnancy,” JJ laughed and steered you into the living space, where your de facto art studio had been set up for the day, along with the offending glitter bomb.
“Really? You thought you could keep that a secret?”
“Well, of anyone was going to find it, it was going to be my beautiful, smart, funny, profiler Wife,” Will said, giving her a small peck on the cheek as she rolled her eyes at him. “I'm clocking in now. Call me if you need anything.”
You waved him off, and sat down with the kids.
JJ started the craft and then planned your hasty escape as the two boys were enraptured by making the perfect macaroni necklace, dusting it in objectively too much glitter as they proudly created their art.
In the kitchen, she handed you a mug, and you sipped it quietly as she began again.
“So, you're not dating?”
“Nope.”
“And he doesn't know you're pregnant?”
“No.” You took another sip and shifted from one foot to the other.
You knew what was coming next. It was what you'd gotten next from Emily, from Penelope, from yourself when you'd thought about it for longer than ten seconds. You needed to tell him.
“Okay. What's your next move?”
You were so shocked you almost splashed the hot tea over the mug you held, close to burning yourself as you turned to face her.
“I… what?”
“Well, what's your next move? You're what, five months along? You're not going to be able to hide it for much longer. And you have to think about maternity leave, your hospital stay, and names, and who's going to drive you to the hospital. And obviously, how you're going to pay the hospital fee, and then custody and child support.”
“Oh god…”
“And you also have to sort your relationship out with Spencer. So where are you starting?”
It wasn't a question that didn't have an answer. JJ was staring at you, waiting for one as you opened and closed your mouth, head suddenly so empty you almost forgot what you were talking about.
“He doesn't like me,” you suddenly blurted and wished you hadn't, face crumpling as you physically cringed at your own words.
“Y/N, he was telling us about your toothbrush yesterday. Part of the office has a theory that he made up this case as a reason to get closer to you.”
Again, you felt the heat blossom on tour skin as you looked away, taking another sip.
“We don't do anything but argue.”
“You do at least one other thing,” JJ said, hands on her hips as she confronted you.
“No, that doesn't count. We were still arguing while we were doing…that.”
“TMI,” she groaned as you fanned yourself. “Y/N, I know for a fact that Spencer is at least half in love with you. If you're absolutely sure you don't feel the same way, you need to at least let him down easy.”
“I…. I don't know. He's infuriating sometimes, but then he's so smart and annoying. But he's pretty great at comforting me. And the, uh, the other stuff, that was good, too.”
“Don't need to-”
“Like really good. Like, I'm not surprised I ended up pregnant practically first time good-”
“Back on topic, please!” JJ whisper shouted, throwing her hands up as you zipped your mouth shut.
“You like him,” she said.
You sighed and finally gave in.
“Yeah. Yeah, I like him.”
“Great. What next?”
“Next, I tell him I'm pregnant and make him hate me for a while.”
She patted you on the back and poised you another mug of tea before leading you back over to the kids and sitting beside them at the table.
“We can plan something later. For now, macaroni art is calling.”
You weren't sure if it was the stern, practical pep-talk from JJ or the little tiny grasp of your hand from Michael. Maybe it was even Henry's goodbye of ‘see you soon, Auntie Y/N’ that had you suddenly invigorated, but you suddenly kicked yourself into gear.
The pregnancy wasn't going to put itself on pause while you worked up the courage to tell Spencer about it. You had to do it.
JJ dropped you off at home at 6 p.m., knowing that Spencer would be back at the apartment shortly.
“You're sure you don't need me to stay up there with you? The commute can get a bit long this time of night, Spencer could be anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes.”
“No, I think… I think I need some time to think about how I'm going to do this. I need some alone time.”
She nodded quietly and sent you off after calling Spencer and giving him an update on your whereabouts.
You paced the apartment wondering what the best option was.
You could go for the bookshelf again, though it was still organised into your first message. You'd not moved a book in that stack at all, and surprisingly, neither had Spencer.
Running into your room, you grabbed the pair of baby shoes you'd thrown into your bag from your apartment. Maybe if you left them on the shelf next to the books…?
You put them there and frowned, wondering if he'd be able to see them from the door when he walked in. He was so used to the surroundings of his house that he really didn't check for irregularities.
You moved them to the coffee table. Then you wondered if you should just hand them to him when he walked in.
“Spencer. I am..pregnant,” you practised, looking into the bathroom mirror as you tried to force a smile.
“Spencer. We're pregnant. No, not a chance,” you sighed.
“Spencer, I have a parasite growing in me. I've had it for five months now, and then I'll have it for another four and hopefully a long time after that as well.”
That one was mostly a joke. Mostly.
“Spencer, I… We're going to have a baby.” You looked down at your bump again and decided that was probably your best option. It wasn't a state. It wasn't a condition or a parasite. It was a baby.
You rubbed your stomach again and looked up, wiping away tears from the corner of your eye as you composed yourself again.
The doorbell rang, and your heart race picked up. It was time. Spencer was home, and you were going to tell him.
Suddenly, you were filled with excitement, with happiness. You ran to the door, stepping on the sofa to get there quicker as you ran to pull it open.
Maybe it was the pregnancy brain fog, but you forgot where you were.
Spencer Reid lived in this apartment. He didn't need to knock on the door or ring the doorbell. He'd never done it before. But you'd already swung the door open quickly, and you were so relaxed and ready for it to be him that when a hand extended and covered your mouth with a cloth, thick with a scent that had your body protesting, you could do nothing but crumple to the floor with your hands cradling yourself, protecting the life growing within you.

Gold chain (pt4) | Leah Williamson



You and Leah finally met up again, nerves and laughter mixing as you both tried to hide how excited you were. warnings: just fluff and slow burn pt1 pt5 my masterlist
Leah had been glued to her phone all morning and part of the afternoon. She’d gotten used to it over the past few days, anxiously waiting for a message or call from you. The last interaction had been the previous night, when Leah tried calling you a couple of times after hearing about your elimination at Berlin. She hadn't been successful; you had rejected all the calls. Even though you were a bit calmer by then, you didn't want to feel or hear Leah's sympathy. Not yet.
At least you left her a goodnight message, saying you were trying to process the tough day you'd had. But that wasn’t enough for Leah. She needed more than a brief text; she wanted to hear your voice, to know you were really okay. The waiting and worrying were driving her crazy, and she kept checking her phone, hoping for a sign that you were ready to talk.
At least the photo shoot that morning had kept Leah busy for a couple of hours, providing a brief distraction from her constant worry. But she knew that once she got home, she'd be checking her phone again, hoping to hear from you.
She had just said goodbye to her staff and was about to get in her car when her phone started buzzing. Without even checking to see if it was you, she quickly got into the car and felt a wave of relief when she saw your name pop up in her notifications.
Her relief turned to confusion when she opened the message and saw a picture of the front of Emirates Stadium.
"This is the famous home of London's biggest club?"
"I asked a guy and he said I was wrong, that I should go west."
"Isn't this Stamford Bridge?"
Leah bit her lip to keep from smiling. She was getting more and more used to your quirky sense of humor and sarcastic comments.
"You're into comedy now?" Leah quickly typed into her phone, not yet getting what was going on.
"You wish."
Before Leah could respond, another photo popped up, immediately followed by a message.
"Do you think if I ask for it they'll give it to me?" The picture showed a huge banner with Leah's face on it.
"I'm a big fan."
That's when it hit her. Were you really in London? Already? You were just playing in a tournament in Germany yesterday.
Leah looked out the window of her car, seeing the same sky that was starting to darken, just like in the photo you had sent.
"What the hell? You're here?"
Leah couldn't hold back her excitement. Without waiting for your reply, she dialed your number. Without waiting for your reply, she called you. As the phone rang, she started her car and plugged in her phone.
"Hello?" Leah could hear the smile in your voice.
"I can't believe it," Leah said, nervously running a hand through her hair.
"What? That I'm your fan?"
"I already knew that," Leah replied, pulling out of the parking lot. "Stay where you are, I'm like twenty minutes away."
"Make it fifteen."
Leah became a bundle of nerves as soon as she got out of her car. This was only the second time you’d be seeing each other in person, and the first time alone. She walked around for a while, until she finally spotted you taking pictures. Feeling awkward and unsure of how to approach, she was glad your back was turned.
Leah opened her mouth to say your name, but nothing came out
This time was different from the first. You knew each other now, had chatted about all sorts of things, and shared some nice moments over video calls. You weren’t strangers anymore.
Meanwhile, you were completely unaware of Leah behind you, busy taking pictures. Satisfied with your shots, you stepped back and bumped into someone. You turned quickly, ready to apologize (or snap if it was some weirdo). But like Leah, you were left speechless.
Neither of you said anything at first, the tension thick in the air. Leah’s nervous smile matched yours, and you couldn’t help but let out a nervous laugh.
Leah thought your laughter was even more contagious in person than over the phone, and she immediately started laughing too.
"What are you doing standing there like a stalker?" you asked once you both calmed down a bit.
"Actually, by standing here I'm protecting you from any stalkers."
"Woah, how gentlemanly of you," you said with a grin.
"Yeah, I know," Leah replied, flashing a smile. She held your gaze, looking down at you since you were only slightly shorter than her.
"Don't look at me like that," you said, laughing nervously again and giving her a gentle nudge on the shoulder.
"I’m making you nervous?" Leah asked, genuinely curious. She had seen you go through other emotions before, but had never seen you nervous. The two of you had shared so many video calls, but this was different.
"Yes," you admitted, shoving your hands into your pockets. You glanced around and wrinkled your nose. "This is your place... it's a little intimidating, realizing how big you are here and what your image represents. I hadn't really taken it all in until now."
Leah tilted her head slightly, trying to understand. "What do you mean?"
"You," you said, looking back at her. "You're not just Leah to everyone here. You're a big deal. Talking to you has been... Well, like I’m just talking to Leah. But now that I'm here, seeing everything with your face in it, it's like, 'Whoa, this is who I've been staying up all week chatting with.'"
Leah felt a warmth in her chest at your words. She never thought of herself that way.
"I don't think it's anything to make a big deal about," Leah replied, feeling the heat rise in her cheeks.
"Of course not, Captain Williamson," you retorted, rolling your eyes. Leah's body trembled slightly at your playful jab.
"Well, you're a big deal to me too, you know. And right now, I’m just Leah." Leah continued. "I've seen your face on giant billboards too, you know."
You were about to respond, but Leah turned to you with a raised eyebrow.
"Where are you staying?"
"Ah," you chuckled, noticing the not-so-subtle change in topic. "I have a room booked at one of the downtown hotels."
"Are you with your team?"
"No, we're taking a few days off," you said, avoiding mention of yesterday's dressing room incident, which had caused the current situation. Nor did you want to bring up your recent appointment with your therapist a couple of hours ago.
"So I assume you messaged me because you got lost and don't know how to get back to your hotel?" Leah asked, heading back towards where she had parked her car.
"Actually, yes," you lied. You knew your way around London, but Leah didn't need to know that. "I just didn't feel like going straight back to the hotel, so I've been wandering around all afternoon."
"And you still don't want to go back?"
"I just don't want to be alone."
"Can I suggest something?"
You smiled at Leah's offer.
The drive to Leah's house was quiet, mostly because halfway there you had drifted off to sleep. It had been a long day, or rather, two long days: the morning flight, the session with your psychologist, the extensive walk around town, and everything that had transpired the day before. It was a lot to handle in such a short span of time.
Leah's car smelled like her, a comforting scent that started to ease your stress. She knew when to stay silent, creating a soothing vibe that made relaxation inevitable.
As you slept, however, Leah couldn't shake a bit of guilt. Maybe you just needed to rest, and here she was, possibly dragging you along to plans that might not even interest you.
When you woke up after she parked outside her house, Leah turned to you with a gentle concern in her eyes.
"Are you awake now?" she asked softly. "I can drop you back at your hotel if you'd rather." she offered, still buckled into her seatbelt, confident that you'd want to leave.
"What?" you mumbled, sitting up straight and blinking to clear the sleep from your eyes.
"You look exhausted, Y/n," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of worry. Her gaze was gentle, trying to read the emotions behind your tired face.
"I'm just exhausted, but I know I won't feel any better alone in that hotel, believe me," you said, trying to reassure her and convince her it wasn't a bad idea.
Leah's concern deepened as she took in your tired demeanor. After a few moments of contemplation, she took a deep breath as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Well, let's go then," she said softly, her voice carrying a touch of warmth.
Leah's home wrapped around you with a scent even more intense than the scent of her car. The place had a cozy charm.
"I wasn't expecting a guest, so if you find anything strange, just ignore it, please," Leah chuckled nervously as she led the way inside.
"It's lovely," you grinned, following her inside. It was fascinating to explore the place you had only seen through a screen before.
"Thank you," Leah said, heading towards her kitchen. "Are you hungry?"
If someone had told you a few weeks ago that you'd be at Leah Williamson's house, sitting down to a hearty meal of potato smiley faces and chicken nuggets, you would have probably raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"Is this your idea of gourmet food?" you chuckled, eyeing your plate—it looked straight out of a children's menu.
"Absolutely," Leah said with a grin, grabbing two glasses and a bottle of wine. "I did promise to treat you, after all."
The cozy kitchen and Leah's relaxed demeanor made you feel at ease.
"Well, you basically dragged me along."
"Hey, don't put it like that," said Leah pouting. "I gave you the option of taking you back to your hotel."
"I'm just messing with you, Leah," you said with a laugh, gently taking the bottle of wine from her hands to pour the glasses. "But seriously, this dinner is going to be a memory I'll cherish."
"I feel like you're making fun of me," she said, narrowing her eyes playfully.
"No, I'm serious," you replied warmly. "It's actually kind of sweet. I've never had this before."
"I just had to toss the potatoes on a tray, you know?" she said, chuckling softly, brushing off any praise.
"Come on, just take the compliment, Leah."
Leah chuckled softly and settled into the chair across from you, taking a bite of a potato with a thoughtful expression."So... Can I ask why you're here?"
"You invited me," you replied casually, flashing a grin.
"I'm not talking about that..."
"Ah," you replied casually, popping a nugget into your mouth. "I just had a bit of a breakdown... they're making me take these days off now, which I'm actually enjoying a lot," you admitted, locking eyes with Leah. "I've been in therapy the whole year, having regular sessions, but it's been weeks since I last talked to my therapist. Well, until today.”
"And? How did your session go?"
“Well… I’m definitely drained, that’s for sure,” you admitted with a sigh, setting down your glass of wine. “We talked a lot about managing stress and pressure, trying to find new ways to cope.”
Leah nodded sympathetically, her gaze steady on you. "It sounds tough."
"Yeah, it is," you admitted, running a hand through your hair. "But I think I'm making progress. It's just taking time, but I'm starting to figure out how to handle all the pressure"
"I'm glad you're taking care of yourself, it's important. You can talk to me too, I also know what it's like to live surrounded by pressure constantly. Maybe it’s not the same but-”
“It is,” you said with a smile, gratefully at her gesture. "Thanks, Leah. It means a lot.”
After finishing, you both moved the talk to the couch, ready to open another bottle of wine.
"You know what?” you said, sinking into the cushions and stretching out your legs comfortably “I'd love to watch you play football sometime."
Leah chuckled, settling beside you and pouring wine into glasses. "Really? You think I'd impress you on the field?"
"You never know," you teased, nudging her playfully. "It would be fun to see another side of you."
"I thought you'd rather watch Chelsea," Leah said with a mischievous grin, her feet up on the couch, almost brushing against yours.
Both of you were clearly enjoying the evening, the warmth of the wine adding to the relaxed atmosphere.
"I can always watch you when you're playing against Chelsea," you replied with a playful smirk.
Leah fell silent for a moment, her gaze drifting away before she asked softly, "And who would you support?"
"Don't you remember I'm your biggest fan?" you replied with a smile, reaching out to gently touch her hand. "Of course, I'd support you. I mean it, I'd love to see you out there on the field, doing what you love”
Leah's cheeks flushed again, a mix of embarrassment and something warmer she couldn't quite name. She hoped you would attribute it to the wine rather than your words.
"My head is starting to hurt," Leah murmured, her words slightly rushed as she tried to distract herself. "Would you mind staying here? But if you want I can call a-"
"Of course not," you reassured her with a grin, trying to lighten the mood. You leaned back, already feeling a bit dizzy from the wine's effects. "Or am I not allowed to stay?" you teased with a playful smile.
You were beginning to enjoy how flustered Leah was getting, it was adorable that she didn't seem to realize her feelings might be mutual. Unless you were completely misreading all her signals, there was a palpable tension between you.
"I'll get the guest room ready for you then," Leah said softly,a slight stumble in her step as she headed towards the room.
The next morning, Leah woke to the sound of your phone ringing from the other room. Rubbing her eyes, still half-asleep, she tiptoed barefoot out of her own bedroom and quietly made her way across the hallway to the guest room. Pushing the door open gently, Leah's heart fluttered as she found you under the covers, peacefully asleep.
Leah glanced at the screen and recognized your coach's name flashing on your phone.
"Y/n," she whispered in a hushed tone, gently shaking your shoulder to wake you. "Your phone," she urged, giving you a firmer shake this time.
The ringing stopped just as your eyes blinked open, adjusting slowly to the morning light.
"Huh?" you said, a little disoriented by the strange room. You turned towards Leah, her face soft and concerned. It took you a few seconds to remember why you were there. "Leah- Good morning" you said quickly, a little embarrassed, straightening up in bed.
"Your phone," Leah repeated, her voice soft as she tried to get your attention, but you were too distracted. Now fully awake, you couldn't help but notice Leah standing there in just sweatpants and a bra
Leah looked a little puzzled as your mouth hung open and your eyes slowly trailed down from her face to the rest of her body. It was then that she realized she hadn't bothered to put on a shirt before waking you up.
"Good morning," you repeated quickly, pulling your gaze away with a faint blush creeping up your cheeks.
"I wouldn't mind waking up like this more often," you thought to yourself, a slight grin tugging at your lips.
"I'm sorry," Leah apologized, unsure exactly what she was apologizing for. "Your phone was ringing, and you just wouldn't wake up."
"I'm a heavy sleeper," you mumbled, rubbing your face sleepily. The thought of staying in bed longer was tempting.
"Maybe it was important. You should check... while I get breakfast ready," Leah suggested before stepping out of the room.
When you entered the kitchen, you couldn't help but pout slightly upon seeing Leah now wearing a shirt. She stood at the stove, her back turned as she hummed a soft tune.
You couldn't resist the urge to approach her quietly, your heart fluttering with a mix of anticipation and affection. You tiptoed closer and gently rested your chin on her shoulder.
"What are you cooking?" you whispered softly, surprised by how calmly Leah received your presence.
"An omelet," Leah replied, her attention fully on not burning the omelet. "Do you like them?"
"Yeah, it smells good," you replied.
You fell silent again as Leah flipped the omelet.
"You smell good," she said casually, her attention still on the pan, showing no sign of embarrassment.
"I haven't showered yet," you blurted out, feeling yourself blush. It was nice to hear such words, even in that context.
"You ruined the moment," Leah teased, a smile playing on her lips as she shook her head and gently nudged you away. "Go sit down."
Leah carefully slid the omelet onto your plate and set it down beside a steaming cup of coffee. She then placed the same in her plate and took a seat next to you.
"Is it alright that I made you coffee?" she asked, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
"If you're trying to keep me awake, it's exactly what I need," you murmured, taking a sip from the cup. "Delicious," you said with a satisfied sigh, enjoying the warmth spreading down your throat.
Leah smiled warmly as she picked up her fork and began to eat.
"What time do you have to leave?" she asked casually, glancing at you with curiosity.
"Are you kicking me out already?" you countered with a playful grin spreading across your face. Leah rolled her eyes playfully.
"That was your coach calling, I guess he wants you back already," she clarified with a hint of worry.
"No, I think Lucas is having the time of his life with these days off," you commented, relishing the taste of the omelet. "Damn, this is good. I didn't know you could cook," you exclaimed, taking another enthusiastic bite.
"It's just eggs," Leah shrugged.
"Well, it's the best omelet I've ever had," you praised sincerely.
"You're such a smooth talker," Leah laughed, her laughter filling the room. Her joyful demeanor was starting to win you over more and more.
"It's my talent," you joked, finishing off the last bite of the omelet. "Anyway, Lucas just wanted to check in, make sure everything's cool and that I didn't do anything too risky that could affect me physically with the tournament coming up."
"Sounds reasonable," Leah nodded thoughtfully, cutting half of her omelet and adding it to your plate. She had a feeling you enjoyed it, maybe because omelets weren't something you ate often.
"I'm so happy," you said, savoring every bite. "Remind me to have this every day when I'm away."
“So, what are you up to today?" Leah asked, curious about your plans.
"Uh," you mumbled as you wiped your lips with a napkin. "I actually wanted to learn something new, since I'm now banned from going near a tennis racket," you added quietly.
"What do you want to learn?" asked Leah curiously, setting down her coffee cup.
"Teach me how to play football!" you exclaimed with an excited smile, leaning forward eagerly.
"What?" Leah asked, caught off guard and nearly choking on her coffee.
"Yeah! I want to learn. I'm pretty sure I can't even kick a ball properly—oh! oh! Teach me how to head it. I've always wanted to try," you continued enthusiastically.
Leah shook her head, her expression a mix of disbelief and amusement. "But you said your coach didn't want you doing risky things."
"Come on, Leah, it's football.” your eyes sparkling with determination “How dangerous could it be?"
"Ouch! Red! Yellow! Foul! Foul!" you groaned dramatically from the ground, clutching your ankle.
Leah folded her arms, a playful smirk tugging at her lips as she looked down at you. "I barely touched you," she said, kicking the ball back and forth with her foot.
She had effortlessly taken the ball from you, causing you to lose your balance and tumble to the ground.
Leah started out playing gently with you, almost as if she were playing with a child, letting you have your way. However, as she heard your teasing comments about how easy it was, her competitive spirit kicked in.
"Another goal," she declared triumphantly, kicking the ball into the small goal set up in her backyard. "What's the score now, like 10-2?" she asked with a playful smirk, hands on her hips, looking down at you still sprawled on the ground.
You groaned, realizing she wasn't holding back anymore. Her playful demeanor had shifted into full-on competition, and you were loving every minute of it.
"Call an ambulance," you groaned, your voice strained with pain, eyes tightly shut.
Leah's heart skipped a beat as worry flooded her. You seemed genuinely hurt, and she felt a pang of guilt for possibly causing it. She hurried over, her mind racing with concern, and knelt down beside you on the grass.
"Where does it hurt?" Leah asked, her hand gently touching yours. You opened your eyes and looked at her, seeing the worry in her expression.
"It's just... here," you said, then quickly pounced on her, effortlessly knocking her down. "Gotcha, Williamson," you teased with a grin, enjoying Leah's confused expression.
It took Leah a moment to process what had happened. Suddenly, she found herself lying on her back on the grass with you sitting on her abdomen, legs straddling her, in a playful and unexpected turn of events.
"Damn, Y/n, you scared me," Leah said, taking a deep breath to calm herself.
"You'll need a lot more to break me down," you replied proudly, unaware of Leah's hands sneaking closer to your body. Suddenly, tickles sent waves of laughter through you. "Leah! No! Stop!" you managed to protest between laughs, attempting to fend off her tickling hands but finding it hard to resist in your laughter-filled state.
"It's the least you deserve!" Leah exclaimed, her smile mischievous. "You nearly scared me to death!" She took advantage of your moment of weakness to flip you over, switching positions. Now, it was your back against the grass with Leah sitting on top of you.
Before you could react, Leah swiftly grabbed your wrists and pinned them above your head, securing them to the ground. Her eyes sparkling with a hint of playful affection.
Both of you were breathing heavily,cheeks flushed from all the laughter and movement of the past few minutes. Leah let out a sigh, and you felt a surge of anticipation as her face moved closer to yours. Your heart raced with anticipation, thinking she might kiss you. But instead, you felt Leah's forehead gently rest against yours.
"Don't play with me like that," she whispered softly.
You froze as her breath tickled your lips, her nose brushing against yours, and her perfume surrounding you. The gentle brush of her nose against yours sent a shiver down your spine.
"Leah..." you murmured, feeling her grip on your wrists tighten at the sound of her name.
"Don't ever scare me like that again," she whispered, pulling back slightly from your forehead but not releasing her hold.
Your eyes locked, the air thick with unspoken feelings.
"I'm sorry," you murmured, a shiver running through you as you felt Leah's gaze fixed on your lips.
"Do you mind if I..." she began softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
It was the moment you had been secretly yearning for. It was the confirmation of the deep feelings stirring within you every time Leah crossed your mind. All you wanted and needed was to feel her lips against yours.
"Leah," you said impatiently, nodding eagerly as your head moved up and down a few inches.
Leah took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on yours, filled with a mixture of hesitation and longing as she leaned in closer.
You felt her lips brush against yours, the brief contact sending a thrill through you. But just as the kiss was about to deepen, the doorbell rang.
In the blink of an eye, Leah pulled away, releasing your hands and creating an abrupt distance between you.
"Fuck," you muttered, frustration and desire mixing in your voice, as you were left alone in the backyard with your heart racing.

my proof | s.r x fem!reader
ꨄ requested: anonymous
ꨄ genre: smut
ꨄ summary: in which jj walks in on spencer fucking you after spending a day of teasing him with the others about not having sex.
"Come on man, just come out with us for once. You might get lucky and get laid." Derek put his hand on Spencer's shoulder, in which he shrugged off with a groan. "i’m telling you man, getting laid will fix all your problems, well, some of them."
"I don't have any problems." Spencer huffed and stormed off to go fix him another cup of coffee. Spencer didn't have any real problems, the only problem he had is that he missed you. He was counting down the hours and minutes before he could go home and see you, 2 hours and 15 minutes. 2 hours and 15 minutes before he could finally see you.
When Spencer got back to his desk he could hear JJ, Morgan, and Prentiss all snickering with each other, gossiping like teenagers in high school. He shot them a glare from over his coffee mug and sighed dramatically when JJ walked over and sat at the edge of his desk.
"You're a virgin, aren't you?" She asked, a proud smile on her face as if she'd just discovered something, there was nothing to be proud about.
"What? No!" Spencer went red, starting with the tips of his ears ad spreading all the way down his neck. He was embarrassed by the question, speaking about his sex life in such a public place with his coworkers isn't something he liked doing. Spencer didn't share much of his personal life with the team, which is why they didn't know about you. While they liked to talk about their partners and their hook ups, Spencer preferred to stay quiet.
"Oh my god, you are!" Prentiss laughed, setting her pen down and fully turning her body towards Spencer. "You've never done it! You have no proof that you have."
Spencer was just turning redder by the second, embarrassment and anger making him hotter to the touch. "my sex life is none of your business!"
+++
"Oh fuck-" You moaned into the cushions on the sofa. Spencer had you bent over the armrest of the sofa while he practically railed you into the couch. You tried to lift yourself up but each time his hips snapped forward, it sent you flying back down.
Spencer looked down at you with a proud expression on his face, he was positively ruining you. Your hands gripped the cushions, you moaned and screamed with each snap of his hips, he was ruining you and he loved seeing it.
He wrapped your hair around his hand and pulled you up so he could hear all the moans and screams he was pulling from you without them being muffled. Spencer leaned over your body so his chest was pressed against your back. "that feel good, baby?"
You reached back and held his head, your hips starting to move back to chase the high that was so close. "Yes- oh god, yes! M'gonna cum, spence. Gonna cum for you-"
Spencer groaned in your ear once he started to feel your walls tightening around his cock.He leaned up and pushed you back down into the sofa, his thrusts starting to come faster and harder. He was getting close himself, he was no longer trying harder to make you cum but he was also trying to make himself cum. You reached back to grab at any part of him you could reach as you finally got your release, Spencer not too long after you.
The door rattling should have been enough of a warning that someone was about to come into the apartment, but Spencer was so caught up in how good you felt around him that he didn't hear it until the door slammed open.
"Get out!" He yelled and quickly covered your body with the blanket that was draped over the back of the couch. You sat up to see who had barged in but you only caught a glimpse of blonde hair. Spencer carefully pulled out of you and tucked himself back into his boxers and quickly pulled his shirt and pants back on, he made sure you were okay and covered before going to the door.
"What are you doing here?" He panted as he opened the door, he stepped outside into the hallway and closed the door behind him.
"Hotch- he wanted- hotch- you weren't answering your phone." JJ's eyes were wide and her heart was nearly beating out of her chest, she would probably never see Spencer the same after that.
"I was busy."
"I can see that." She cleared her throat and looked around awkwardly, she knew she probably should've left the situation alone and just left but her curiosity always got the best of her. "Who was that!"
Spencer rolled his eyes and opened the door to his apartment, he stepped back inside. "My proof. Let Hotch know I'll be there in an hour."

A/N: It’s our boy’s 25th birthday🥹

Lando would never admit it outright, but there was something about the way Y/N’s fingers moved through his curls that made him feel a certain way. He loved it—more than he could say—but sometimes it made him feel a little too aware of her, of how close she was, of the way her touch made his skin tingle. It was like every gentle tug and soft scratch sent a spark through him, making him feel both calm and somehow electrified all at once.
The first time Lando came home with his new mullet, Y/N could barely keep her composure. She sat on their couch in their Monaco apartment, eagerly awaiting his arrival. He’d told her he was getting a haircut, but she’d never expected… this.
When he finally stepped through the door, wearing a cap low over his eyes, her curiosity peaked. As he sat down beside her, he took off his hat with a casual, “What do you think?” revealing the masterpiece beneath. Her heart practically stopped.
Y/N had always thought Lando was attractive, but this? This was another level. His hair, now wild and curly, faded on the sides and left longer at the back, gave him an edge she hadn’t seen before. She felt her cheeks warm up, a flustered grin taking over her face. She straddled his lap, his hands finding home on her hips. Her eyes locked onto his unruly curls. She had no choice—she reached over and ran her fingers through the soft, unruly curls.
"Lando," she whispered, her voice breathless, "I didn't think it was possible, but somehow, you got even more attractive." Her fingers wove through his curls, gently tugging, and he couldn't hide the way his eyes fluttered shut for a moment as he melted into her touch.
He grinned, playing it cool despite the way her hands made him feel. "Oh yeah?" he murmured, slipping his arms around her waist.
"You're really that into it?"
She laughed, leaning in to brush a kiss against his cheek. "Don't act like you didn't know. This is... dangerously good." Her hands moved up to trace the lines of the fade, grazing his scalp lightly, sending little jolts down his spine. She could feel his muscles tense and then relax as she explored every curl, the sensation grounding them both. "I'm obsessed, Norris. No one can tell me otherwise."
And from that day on, her obsession only grew. Every chance she got, her hands found his hair-whether they were walking around Monaco, cuddling in bed, or even out in public. She'd reach up with a playful grin, fingers grazing his neck and tangling in those unruly curls, and each time, Lando felt a little shiver, a blush creeping up his neck no matter how many times she did it.
He’d act unfazed, jokingly rolling his eyes or pretending to be exasperated, but deep down, he couldn’t deny how much he loved her fingers in his hair. There was something about the way her hands moved through the curls that made him feel completely at ease—and yet, a bit on edge.
One evening after dinner, they were walking hand-in-hand back to their car when she paused, turning to him with a mischievous look. Before he knew it, her hands were in his hair again, pulling him close by the curls at his nape, and he couldn't help but smile, feeling his cheeks warm.
Her fingers finding their familiar place in his hair, her nails grazing his scalp lightly, and he couldn’t help but shiver. “That… feels nice,” he mumbled, his voice coming out quieter than he intended. He felt a flush creep up his neck, and he tried to play it cool, glancing down at his shoes to avoid meeting her eyes.
She grinned, clearly catching on to his reaction. “Does it now?” she teased, giving a soft tug to one of the curls at the back, watching as he tensed up just a little before relaxing into her touch. She loved how easy it was to make him melt, to see that slight blush dust his cheeks whenever her fingers brushed over the sensitive spots at the nape of his neck.
“Don’t get cocky,” he muttered, trying to act unfazed, but he knew she could see right through him. She always did. The truth was, her touch did things to him—made him feel vulnerable in a way that was rare. He was used to being the confident one, the one who could tease her and keep his cool, but whenever her hands were in his hair, he felt that careful facade slipping.
"Oh, you love it," she whispered, wrapping a curl around her finger, her eyes locked on his. His breath hitched, and he bit his lip, trying not to give away how much he was enjoying it, but she knew. She always knew.
The next morning, as they sat in the hotel lobby waiting for his car to arrive, she reached up once again, letting her fingers trail through his curls. He leaned into her touch, eyes half-lidded with that sleepy, satisfied look she adored.
"You're really not going to let this go, are you?" he chuckled, glancing at her, trying to keep his cool but failing miserably.
"Not a chance." She smirked, tugging gently on a few strands before smoothing them back. "You did this to yourself, you know."
Lando let out a little laugh, his hand coming up to rest on hers as she played with his hair. "I didn't think it'd make you this obsessed."
"Well, you thought wrong," she replied, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. Her hands drifted through his hair, each touch bringing a soft flush to his cheeks, and he loved it-the way she adored every curl, every inch of him.
"Good thing I'm not planning on going anywhere," he whispered, voice low and full of warmth.
“Mhmm, Good thing.” She whispered.
One of Y/N’s favorite things about Lando—aside from the mullet, of course—was how easily she could fluster him. She loved knowing the effect she had on the usually cool and confident driver, catching him off guard with a look, a word, or a simple touch. Today, she was in the mood to see that familiar flush rise to his cheeks, and she knew exactly how to make it happen.
Determined, she set off through the McLaren garage, weaving through engineers and crew members in search of him. First, she checked the garage itself, glancing around the car but not finding him there. His driver’s room was empty too, and she knew he didn’t have any meetings. But just as she was starting to wonder where he could be, she caught sight of a familiar head of curls, bouncing slightly with each scroll of his thumb.
There he was, leaning against the wall in a quiet corner of the McLaren unit. He was dressed in his team kit, the top half of his race suit unzipped and wrapped casually around his waist, revealing the black undershirt that clung to his frame. He was absorbed in his phone, looking effortlessly composed, a picture of calm and cool. But that was about to change.
She stood there for a moment, arms crossed, just admiring him. He hadn’t noticed her yet, but she could feel the anticipation building, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. Soon enough, that calm demeanor would be shattered.
As if sensing her stare, Lando’s head lifted, his eyes locking onto hers. A smirk crept onto his face, and he raised an eyebrow in amusement. “Come here often?” he asked, voice low and teasing, eyes glinting with that familiar mischief.
Y/N stepped forward, a playful glint in her own eyes as she approached him, slowly closing the space between them. When she reached him, she rose on her toes, giving him a quick kiss that left him momentarily speechless, before leaning back with a sly smile. “Depends,” she murmured, her voice soft but challenging, “What exactly are you looking for?”
Lando’s gaze flicked between her eyes and her mouth, caught off guard by the spark in her tone. He opened his mouth to respond, but she reached up first, threading her fingers into his curls, her nails gently scratching at the nape of his neck. His breath hitched slightly, his composure cracking as she continued to play with his hair.
She moved her fingers slowly, winding a few curls around her fingers, taking her time. He bit his lip, trying not to react too much, but every touch sent a little thrill through him. “Y/N,” he said, his voice coming out softer, almost like a plea.
She looked up at him, her eyes full of warmth and a hint of playful mischief. “What’s wrong, Lando?” Her tone was innocent, but he could see that knowing sparkle in her eyes. She knew exactly what she was doing.
“Nothing.” He cleared his throat, trying to sound casual. “It’s just… well, you know…” He could feel the heat rising to his cheeks as he stumbled over his words. “You’re, um, kind of distracting.”
“Oh?” She laughed softly, looking completely unbothered, which only made him feel more flustered. She slid her fingers back down to the nape of his neck, scratching gently, and he felt a shiver run through him. He closed his eyes, breathing out slowly, trying to regain some composure, but it was no use. Her touch had him feeling like putty in her hands.
He tried to look away, to hide the way his face was flushing, but she tilted her head, catching his gaze. “You’re so cute when you get all flustered, you know that?” she murmured, her smile softening as she ran her fingers through his curls again, slowly, almost lazily.
He tried to gain a bit of composure back. “Y’know, if you keep doing that, I won’t be responsible for what happens next,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper, though his smirk was still there, just a little less steady.
She laughed softly, the sound sending a shiver down his spine. “Oh, is that right? Well, I don’t mind seeing you lose a little control, Norris,” she teased, tugging lightly at one of the curls, watching as a faint blush crept up his neck.
He chuckled, trying to keep his cool but failing as his hand slid to her waist, pulling her a fraction closer. “You know you’re trouble, don’t you?”
She looked up at him with a grin, the sparkle in her eyes enough to undo him completely. “Only for you, Lando.”
His smile softened, his gaze turning from playful to something warmer as he leaned down to kiss her properly, forgetting everything else around them.
One night as they lay in bed, the glow from the city lights casting a soft hue over the room, her hands found their familiar place at the nape of his neck, fingertips grazing the curls she adored. He let out a soft sigh, sinking into her touch, his arm wrapped around her, pulling her close.
“Y/N…” he began, but his voice trailed off as she continued, each movement sending a wave of warmth through him. He felt his usual confidence slipping, and for once, he didn’t mind. With her, he could let his guard down, let her see this softer side of him.
“You don’t have to hide it,” she whispered, her voice gentle, her fingers tracing light circles at the base of his skull. “I like it when you’re like this. When you just… relax with me.”
He swallowed, feeling his heart race as he met her eyes. “I… I just…” He hesitated, but her smile encouraged him. “I like it when you do this,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “Maybe a bit too much.”
She grinned, leaning in closer, brushing a kiss against his cheek, right by his ear. “Good,” she whispered back. “Because I could spend hours right here, just making you melt.”
And he did melt. He felt his shoulders relax, any lingering tension fading as her fingers continued their soft, familiar rhythm. Each gentle touch made him feel more vulnerable but also more connected to her. It was like she had this quiet power over him, one he didn’t mind surrendering to.
They laid there for a while, her fingers moving slowly, carefully, as if she wanted to savor every curl, every little shiver he gave in response. He felt his cheeks stay warm, the blush refusing to fade, but with her gentle smile and knowing gaze, he didn’t feel embarrassed.
Instead, he felt cherished, loved, and completely captivated by her.
Y/N was hopelessly, irrevocably in love with him. Lando Norris had completely captured her heart, but if she were honest, his hair—that mullet—had an extra hold on her. It was a slight obsession, something she couldn’t keep her hands off, no matter how hard she tried. And truthfully, she didn’t even try to resist it anymore.
As they wandered through the hotel lobby in yet another city, his arm wrapped lazily around her shoulders, Y/N couldn’t resist reaching up to tangle her fingers in the familiar curls at the nape of his neck. Her fingertips grazed his skin lightly, sending a delicious little shiver up his spine. She loved the way his curls felt—soft but thick, unruly yet perfectly controlled. They faded short at the sides, then bloomed into that wild mess at the back, each curl begging her to play with it.
Lando chuckled, glancing down at her with an amused, slightly exasperated look. “Honestly, Y/N,” he said in a mock scolding tone, “is there ever going to be a moment you’re not running your fingers through my hair?”
She grinned up at him, completely unbothered. “Absolutely not. You’re the one who had to go and get the best hair in Formula 1.” She gave a little tug on one of the curls, watching it bounce right back into place, as if it too was resisting her, only to keep her hooked. It was impossible to ignore how soft it felt, like velvet under her fingertips.
Lando laughed, leaning into her touch despite his teasing, clearly enjoying the attention more than he was letting on. “I knew this mullet was a good decision,” he joked, but his voice softened, betraying just how much he appreciated her adoration. “Didn’t think it’d turn you into a complete addict, though.”
She tilted her head, giving him a playful pout. “Maybe it’s not my fault,” she murmured, voice dropping to a low, teasing tone. Her fingers traced the line of his fade, then sank back into the wilder curls at the back. “If you didn’t want me obsessed, you shouldn’t have made it so irresistible.”
His smirk faltered for a second as she touched him, his breath catching slightly. “So it’s the hair, not the driver?” he teased, trying to keep his tone light, though his eyes were starting to darken. “I see how it is, Y/N.”
“Oh, I don’t know…” she replied, a spark of mischief lighting her gaze. “I think it’s the whole package. But the mullet? Definitely a bonus.” She slid her hand up to the top of his head, brushing back the longer curls that always fell forward. Her fingers drifted through the soft waves, and he closed his eyes for a moment, savoring her touch. She loved how his face softened, his lips parting slightly as he leaned into her hand, completely relaxed, a faint blush rising in his cheeks.
Her fingers trailed back down, her nails grazing the skin at his nape, and he let out a soft sigh, tilting his head forward slightly as if inviting her to keep going. “Feels good, huh?” she whispered, her voice tinged with affection as she watched him practically melt under her touch.
“Maybe,” he mumbled, though his eyes remained closed, and the way his shoulders relaxed said far more than words. It was rare for him to let his guard down like this, but her touch had a way of softening him, breaking down his usual playful front. A low, contented sigh slipped from his lips as she kept up her gentle rhythm, his head tilting just so, inviting her to explore every soft curl.
She smirked, leaning in close, her voice teasing as she murmured, “Down bad for me, aren’t you?”
Lando’s eyes flicked open, and he grinned, his own playfulness reemerging. “Says the one who practically has her hands glued to my head,” he shot back, his tone warm. He leaned in, brushing his lips close to her ear. “But maybe I’m down just as bad as you are.”
That was all the invitation she needed. Her hands slid further into his hair, pulling him gently toward her until their faces were barely an inch apart, their breaths mingling. She could feel the warmth radiating off him, his lips just inches from hers, and she whispered, “You don’t even understand…” Her fingers tugged lightly at his curls, feeling the way they wound around her fingers, grounding her. “I think I could stay here forever, just like this.”
Her words seemed to break the last of his restraint. Without another word, he closed the gap between them, his lips meeting hers in a slow, lingering kiss. It started soft, unhurried, but as her fingers continued to tangle in his hair, pulling him closer, he deepened the kiss, his hand sliding around her waist, drawing her flush against him. His other hand moved up, fingers brushing along her jaw as if he couldn’t get enough of being close to her.
Time seemed to stand still as they stood there, wrapped up in each other, the world outside fading away. His lips were warm, gentle yet insistent, a mix of tenderness and barely contained need. She responded with the same intensity, her fingers exploring every curl, every inch of hair that had driven her to distraction, grounding them both in the moment.
When they finally broke apart, a little breathless, he rested his forehead against hers, his eyes still half-closed, a soft smile playing on his lips. “You really are obsessed with this hair,” he murmured, voice barely above a whisper.
She laughed, brushing another curl out of his face, her own cheeks flushed. “Guess I am,” she admitted, grinning up at him. “Good thing it’s all mine.”
He chuckled, his breath warm against her cheek. “Good thing I’m not planning on going anywhere, then.” He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close, and for a moment, they stood there, locked in each other’s embrace.
He smirked, pulling her even closer. “All yours,” he repeated, sealing his promise with one last kiss, slow and sweet.
“So the mullet really does it for you. That’s it?” He teased as they pulled apart.
“Lando, you have no idea.” She smiled, catching his hand and guiding it back to her shoulder, so she could reclaim her rightful place in his hair. Her fingertips traced little patterns against his scalp, sending another wave of shivers through him. She loved how responsive he was to her touch, how even a simple scratch at the nape of his neck could make him soften.
They stood there in comfortable silence, her fingers moving slowly, gently, until finally, he let out a low murmur, almost like a purr. “You’re going to put me to sleep if you keep doing that,” he whispered, but he made no effort to stop her.
“Maybe that’s my plan,” she replied, grinning. “Just keep you here, quiet and still, while I play with this perfect hair of yours.”
He let out a sleepy chuckle. “Fine by me,” he whispered, a warmth in his gaze that made her heart race.
—————————
Extras:
1. At the Track
They were waiting for the race briefing to start, and Lando was in full team kit, cap on and all. Y/N leaned casually against the wall nearby, watching as he laughed and chatted with his teammates, looking every bit the confident driver she knew and loved. His cap hid most of his curls, but she caught a few unruly strands poking out at the back, teasing her with every small movement he made.
Finally, as Zak called him over, Lando adjusted his cap, lifting it briefly to scratch his head. Y/N’s breath caught as his curls were fully visible for a moment, wild and free, framed perfectly by the fade on the sides. She bit her lip, trying to hide her grin, but she felt her cheeks warm as she realized she was staring.
After the meeting ended, she found him in the hallway, and her hands went instinctively to his cap, gently lifting it off to free his curls. “There’s the look I missed,” she teased, running her fingers through his hair.
He chuckled, clearly amused by her fascination. “You really don’t get tired of this, do you?”
She flashed him a grin, her hand tangling deeper in his hair. “You have no idea, Norris. These curls… they’re dangerous.”
He leaned down, his gaze softening as he tilted his head so she could play with his hair more freely. “Dangerous? Babe, they’re just curls.”
“To you, maybe,” she murmured, her eyes lingering on each curl as if they were her own personal addiction. “To me? They’re perfection.”
Lando laughed, clearly amused. “You don’t get tired of it, do you?”
“Not even a little,” she replied with a wink, adjusting his cap as her fingers lingered a second longer than necessary. “It’s like you’re a real-life heartthrob, Norris. And this,” she tugged on a curl at the back, “is part of the magic.”
He leaned down, a playful grin spreading across his face. “Just part?”
She nodded, giving him a quick peck on the cheek. “Well, the rest of you isn’t too bad, either.”
2. During a Lazy Morning at Home
They had nothing planned, so they were taking full advantage of a slow, lazy morning. Lando was sprawled across the couch, head resting on Y/N’s lap as he stretched, his hair a delightful mess from having just woken up. The soft morning light filtered in, highlighting the curls that tumbled carelessly over his forehead and fell against her thighs.
Unable to resist, she reached down, fingers tracing gentle patterns in his hair. As she began to massage his scalp lightly, he let out a soft sigh, his body sinking further into her lap. “Mm… that’s heaven,” he murmured, his voice still heavy with sleep.
“Oh, really?” she teased, scratching lightly at the nape of his neck. She could feel him shiver slightly under her touch, his cheeks tinged with a faint blush.
“Yeah, really.” His eyes drifted shut, and a slow smile spread across his face. “If you keep that up, I’m going to be asleep in two minutes.”
“Looks like I’m not the only one obsessed.” She said.
He cracked one eye open, catching her gaze. “Yeah, but let’s keep that between us,” he replied, giving her a sleepy grin. “Wouldn’t want anyone to know you’ve got me wrapped around your little finger.”
She laughed, leaning down to plant a kiss on his forehead. “Deal. As long as I get to keep doing this,” she whispered, her fingers tracing the line of his fade before drifting back to his curls.
3. At a Fancy Event
They were dressed to the nines, attending a high-profile event, and everyone around them looked like they’d stepped out of a magazine. Lando was in a sleek suit, his hair styled but still rebellious with a few curls falling out of place, giving him that effortlessly cool look she adored. Y/N, in her elegant dress, was hanging on his arm, but her mind kept drifting to the tempting curls at the nape of his neck.
As they stood mingling with a few of his friends, she couldn’t resist reaching up and brushing a curl back into place, her fingertips lingering for a moment. Carlos noticed, chuckling. “Y/N, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re more in love with his hair than with him.”
She laughed, unabashed, glancing up at Lando with a wink. “What can I say? He makes it impossible to resist. Also have you seen him?”
Lando’s cheeks flushed as he leaned down, his voice a low murmur for only her to hear. “You know, if you keep doing that, I’m going to think you’re flirting with me.”
“Oh, I am,” she replied with a playful smile, her fingers grazing the curls again, sending a shiver through him that she could feel. “But I don’t think you mind.”
He swallowed, his voice dropping as he looked at her with a smirk. “Not even a little bit.”
4. A Casual Dinner with Friends
They were out with friends at a cozy restaurant, laughter filling the air as everyone shared stories over drinks and food. Lando was animatedly recounting a funny moment from the paddock, his hands moving expressively, his face lit up with excitement. Y/N watched him, smiling, completely captivated by the way he spoke and the curls that bounced with each movement.
Unable to resist, she reached up mid-story, gently brushing back a few curls that had fallen forward. He paused, a slight blush coloring his cheeks as he shot her a look that was half-teasing, half-affectionate.
“Oh, sorry,” she laughed, her fingers lingering as she gently twisted a curl around her finger. “I couldn’t help myself.”
Their friends laughed, nudging Lando playfully. “Seems like Y/N’s got you wrapped around her finger, mate.”
Lando grinned, reaching up to take her hand in his, bringing it down to his lap, though his fingers laced with hers, keeping her close. “Or maybe she’s the one who’s wrapped around my curls,” he teased, giving her hand a gentle squeeze.
She blushed, biting her lip as she looked up at him. “Touché,” she murmured, squeezing his hand back, feeling her heart flutter as his gaze lingered on her a moment too long.
5. Post-Race Celebration
The race was over, and adrenaline still coursed through Lando as he celebrated in the pits, drenched in champagne and absolutely beaming. Y/N ran over to congratulate him, laughter bubbling up as he caught her in a big hug, pressing her close despite being completely soaked.
“Lando, you’re getting me all wet!” she laughed, but her arms wrapped around him tighter, her hands instinctively reaching up to tousle his champagne-soaked curls. His hair was a beautiful mess, wild and free, and she couldn’t stop herself from running her fingers through it.
He leaned down, pressing his forehead to hers, and she reached up, fingers sinking into his wet curls. “You look like a rockstar,” she whispered, giving his mullet an affectionate tug. “A very sweaty, attractive rockstar.”
He laughed, pulling her in for a kiss. “Good thing you’re still into me, sweat and all.”
“Into you? I’m completely obsessed,” she replied, running her fingers through his curls, savoring the feel of them even now, champagne-soaked and wild. “I think I might be a little obsessed.” She said, tipping her head up to press a soft, lingering kiss to his lips. She could taste the champagne on his skin, and as she pulled back, she smiled.
He grinned, brushing a curl back from her face. “Trust me, the feeling’s mutual.”
6. Winding Down in the Paddock
The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the paddock as they walked hand-in-hand back to the car, the day’s excitement slowly winding down. The light made Lando’s curls glow, highlighting each twist and turn in a way that made her heart ache with affection. Her hand slipped up almost unconsciously, fingers threading through the soft hair at the nape of his neck.
Lando stopped walking, turning to face her with a raised eyebrow, though his smirk betrayed his amusement. “You’re at it again?” he asked, pretending to sound exasperated, though she could see the softness in his gaze.
She gave him a sheepish grin, her hand resting at the base of his neck. “Can you blame me? You’re the one who got this haircut and then made it my favorite thing.”
He shook his head, laughing as he leaned into her touch. “I’m starting to think you’re going to be keeping me around just for the hair.”
She pretended to think about it, giving a soft tug to one of the curls. “It’s a strong motivator,” she teased, moving her hand down to trace the line of his fade before bringing it back up to the curls.
Lando’s eyes fluttered shut as she continued to play with his hair, his usual confident exterior melting under her gentle touch. “If you keep that up, I’ll be asleep in no time,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
“Then I guess I’ll just have to keep going,” she replied, her tone playful yet full of affection. She watched as his shoulders relaxed, and a look of pure contentment settled on his face.
They stood there for a few more moments, wrapped up in each other, his head bowed slightly as her fingers continued their gentle rhythm in his curls. She felt a deep warmth spread through her as he leaned down, brushing his lips softly against her forehead.
In that moment, everything felt right—the warmth of his curls under her fingertips, the soft sunset casting a glow around them, and the quiet certainty that they were exactly where they were meant to be.
7. FP1 Madness
It was nearing the end of FP1 in Mexico, and Y/N was keeping up with the session results from afar, her curiosity getting the better of her. She had noticed, though, that every single shot of Lando that day showed him with his cap firmly on his head, the brightly patterned McLaren hat never budging, and she hadn’t seen a single glimpse of his hair. She couldn’t shake the growing suspicion that maybe, just maybe, he had finally cut off the mullet she loved so much.
As soon as Lando was back in his hotel room, they connected on FaceTime, like they always did when she couldn’t be there. He appeared on her screen, still in his orange McLaren shirt and with that same cap on, looking a bit tired but happy to see her. His arms were crossed casually, and his cap was pulled down low, just like it had been all day.
“Hey, babe,” he greeted, giving her a small, tired smile, clearly unaware of her suspicions.
Y/N raised an eyebrow, trying her best to look unimpressed. “So… you’re just keeping the cap on all day now? Not even letting me see the hair?”
Lando’s eyes widened in mock offense, leaning a little closer to his phone camera. “What, you don’t like my hat?” he teased, adjusting the brim slightly to cover even more of his forehead, purposely obscuring any chance she might have of seeing his curls.
“Oh, I love the hat,” she said, crossing her arms to match his posture, giving him a playful glare. “But you’ve had it on all day. What’s up with that? Did you…?” Her voice trailed off dramatically, narrowing her eyes. “Did you cut off the mullet while I wasn’t there?”
Lando burst out laughing, shaking his head in disbelief. “Why would I do that?”
Y/N gave him a look, trying to hide her smirk. “I don’t know, maybe you got tired of it, or maybe one of the guys finally convinced you to go back to a normal haircut,” she shrugged, feigning disinterest. “But if you did, you’d be too chicken to tell me.”
Lando leaned back, crossing his arms again and smirking at her through the screen. “You really think I’d get rid of the mullet and not tell you? I’m hurt, babe, I thought you trusted me.”
She rolled her eyes, feeling bratty, pushing him a little further. “I don’t know, Norris, you’ve been hiding under that cap all day. I haven’t seen one curl. Not one.”
He chuckled, clearly amused, but then his expression shifted to a playful challenge. “You really think I’d cut it? How about a little bet then?”
Y/N raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Oh, really? What kind of bet?”
He tilted his head, still keeping his cap firmly in place, clearly enjoying dragging this out. “If I still have the mullet, you owe me… a full day of whatever I say when I get back.”
She laughed, narrowing her eyes playfully. “And if you don’t have it?”
“Then I’ll… take you wherever you want for a weekend. No complaints, no caps, just you and me.”
Y/N pretended to think it over, finally nodding. “Alright, deal. Now show me.”
He leaned in close to the camera, holding his finger to his lips, “Only if you promise not to freak out.”
Her eyes widened, a little more nervous now. “Lando… just show me!”
He grinned, clearly savoring the moment, before slowly, dramatically, lifting his cap just enough to reveal the back of his head. And there it was—the mullet, in all its tousled glory, with the sides perfectly faded and the curls at the back just as messy as ever.
Y/N gasped, covering her mouth, then let out a laugh, relieved and slightly annoyed. “You absolute tease! You had me convinced!”
Lando burst into laughter, finally taking the cap off completely, running a hand through his curls with a smug grin. “You really thought I’d cut it off without telling you? Babe, you’re the one who keeps begging me to keep it.”
She laughed, rolling her eyes but feeling a rush of affection. “Okay, okay, you win. I’ll admit it, you had me worried.”
“Worried, huh?” He leaned closer to the camera, giving her a smirk. “Don’t worry, babe, this mullet’s sticking around. Just for you.”
She sighed, playfully exasperated, but couldn’t help smiling. “Good, because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to those curls yet.”
He grinned, shaking his head, “Glad to know you’re just here for the hair.”
She smiled back, giving him a little wink. “Maybe I am.”

Shenhe x isekaied!Reader
What if Shenhe found reader unconscious? Reader is a separate character from the traveler
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Shenhe promised for so long to cut off ties with the mortal world. Strings of insults persistently rang inside her head, all directed towards herself. Cursed. Violent. Unstable. Witch. Sacrifice.
She had completely given up on humanity, on being accepted. After all, they had already chosen to abandon her. They already decided she didn't belong to the human world. All Shenhe could do was just accept it and move on with her life in the mountains. Even if deep down, she wanted more.
That is, until her journey with the traveler. For once, her strength and violent nature didn't separate her from humanity; it protected humanity instead. For once, even for a short time, she felt seen for who she truly was behind her social ineptitude. Instead of being feared and exiled, she was honored as a great hero who helped save Liyue.
But it couldn't last. The traveler—as expected from their title—was gone, traveling across distant lands. Meanwhile, Shenhe remained in Liyue. Unlike the traveler, who viewed Liyue as a temporary pit stop, this land was her home. These mountains were all she really knew, after all. She could never bring herself to abandon this place.
Shenhe had begun to quietly accept her fate as a loner. It's true that she had made many bonds during her journey, but it could only go so far. They had lives outside of her and merely saw her as one of many acquaintances of theirs, a familiar face in the crowd. Something deep within her heart screamed at this knowledge, this gnawing frustration that had been building up beneath the surface. No matter how hard she tried, no matter how many lives she saved, what did it really change? People often admired her from afar, but what did it matter if none stayed by her side? The bitter truth she kept finding over and over was that nobody saw her as loveable the way she yearned to be loved.
With a sigh, she closed her eyes.
*
In the middle of the night, she heard an unwelcome, but familiar sound. Monsters. With haste, she followed the noise wielding her trusty polearm. A huddle of hilichurls came into view, all huddled around some spot she couldn't see. Perhaps it was a treasure chest? Not that she had any use for them. Her arms swayed from side to side without hesitation, finding a rhythm in killing she was long accustomed to. She was prepared for this.
What she wasn't prepared for was the realization that what the monsters were gathered around wasn't a treasure chest at all, but a human. Her eyes widened as she stared down in stunned silence. Thankfully, you appear to be unharmed. However... if she left you alone, that wouldn't be the case for long.
As she cradled her arms around your form, she inspected you closer—mainly, your clothing. It was very obvious you weren't a local from them alone, but she couldn't quite place where you were from. She may not interact with people much, but she had plenty of experience viewing the variety of garments that passed through Liyue Harbor, and yours didn't look like any of them. She questioned to herself how you even managed to get in such a secluded, dangerous spot in the first place.
The plan was to bring you to her abode for a short while, just long enough for you to rest, and then she'd escort you to Liyue Harbor. There, you could go back to wherever it is you belong. Away from her, like everyone else.
Her plan falls apart though as soon as you wake up. What do you mean, you "don't know" where you are or how you got here? You couldn't have just fallen out of the sky, right? Her mind races faster than it ever has before in a vain attempt to grasp the situation. Well, she did find you knocked unconscious. Perhaps you just bumped your head a little too hard when you went down and lost your memory.
Whatever the reason, you're clearly not safe to be sent off on your own. It would be far too dangerous. For all she knew, you could end up wandering into yet another dangerous part of the world and getting yourself killed. No, she couldn't let that happen.
She offered to let you live with her as long as you need to recover, explaining how she can keep you safe from harm. She was anxious you might feel afraid of her or demand to be taken to your mystery homeland. That didn't happen, though. Sure, you seemed upset and dazed, but for some reason none of those negative emotions were aimed at her. You even thanked her for protecting you.
Maybe living with you wouldn't be so bad after all.
And maybe, just maybe, you would stay.

In This Shirt

Azriel x Rhys!Sister!Reader
Summary - It had been a distant dream, to reunite with your mate, but you never believed you'd live long enough to experience it.
Warnings - angst, depression, trauma, swearing, fluff,

Like it had happened yesterday, Azriel could remember the moment he had found out that you, his beautiful perfect mate, and the Princess of Velaris, had been trapped Under The Mountain.
It had been Cassian who had told him, he was the only one strong enough to battle against Azriel's fury and be able to walk away from it. His eyes had been brimming with anguish but Azriel already knew, he felt that last rush of love flow through his body like a current before it vanished, leaving him cold and broken.
Cassian didn't even need to utter the words.
Y/N is gone. So is Rhys. They've been taken Under The Mountain. Amarantha has them.
Every day that passed made his world feel heavy, and dark. Azriel had forgotten the sound of your voice one day, and it had tore his heart straight from his chest. He knew that your voice was melodic, he often likened it to that of a sirens song, pretty and serene.
The fight to get to where you were, mated, married, was long and turbulent on its own. Rhys had refused to accept it, he was furious with Azriel for it. You were his youngest sister, the light of his life, and he knew Azriel would never hurt you, he had always doted on you, he never let you do anything by yourself, but your older brother had certainly struggled with the news.
Rhys had gone as far as to ban Azriel from being near you and sent you away to reside in the Day Court for a couple of months, truly believing that the distance would make you both see that a path together was not one to be walked. In actuality, the distance had almost killed you, the land spanning between you and your mate had settled so deep within your soul that you had become very ill.
Never wanting it to go so badly, but always feeling the need to protect you, Rhys saw the error of his ways and brought Azriel to you, and watched as you cried as the colour returned to your cheeks whilst Azriel held you in his arms.
From that moment on, Rhys had been your biggest supporter, and he had cried like a baby when he saw you in your wedding dress, telling you how much your mother and sister would have loved to see you looking so perfect.
The Light of Velaris had vanished that night, you and Rhys had both sacrificed yourself to Amarantha to protect your court, your home, and it was because of that fact alone that Azriel couldn't tear at the foundations of the fortress beneath the mountain to get you out.
It was rare to get a smile out of him, or anything notable really, but Cassian had been the one to find him that evening, when the stars were hurtling across the blank canvas of the night sky, crying on his knees in your shared bedroom. One of your dresses was furled between his fingers, his shadows coiled around the velvet of the skirt, breathing you in and wishing you were there with them, "I can't remember the sound of her voice," his voice was hoarse, like it was the first time he had spoken in years, which it had been, all he emitted were huffs and grunts, but no words.
Cassian had stepped into the room, the room that had become darker since you had left, just like the rest of the family home. Just like Velaris. Shirts and dresses were strewn about the room, some on the floor, some splayed across the bed, as if Azriel had sifted through your closet to find the thing that held the strongest scent of you, of nightfall and starlight, of the faint salted oceans and warm sand.
"Az," Cassian fell to his knees. pulling his brother into his side and wrapping his arms around his shoulders. Azriel had let his wings drop to the floor, he didn't bother holding them up anymore. "It's going to be alright. She's strong, they both are, they'll come back. She'd never leave you forever, you have a bargain to fulfil."
Azriel glanced to the bargain inking his forearm, a symphony of shadow and stars, holding one another like lovers in the night.
Then your wings came.
Your beautiful wings of midnight purple, so dark in their hue that many would think they were black, with the thick onyx membrane that Azriel always used to run his fingers along and smirk at your shivers, were gone. Packaged up with a blood red bow and dropped onto the table.
Azriel couldn't think about it. All he could do was pray to the Mother that you had at least been unconscious as they were taken from you. Part of him expected Rhys' to follow, but then the stories came, stories of Amarantha's whore and his ill-tempered sister who fought so hard that she was rid of the only things that gave her identity as punishment.
The wings were drooped at the tips, curling inward from the pain and torture from being away from their mate for so long. Comparing wingspans was something you did often, you were small compared to Azriel, your wings even smaller, but they were incredible things. Azriel could have sworn on countless occasions that he saw them hum with light whenever you were overcome with love.
The fiftieth year of your absence had crept in, and Azriel had forgotten what your lips tasted like, how the felt against his. There was nothing he could do, nothing anyone could do to bring you home, to him, where you belonged.
Until someone did.
Loud cries awoke him that night, he sat upright, the shirt you usually wore to bed nestled against his chest, the ever-faint aroma of you clinging to it like the last snow before spring. Frowning, Azriel shifted from the bed. He knew that voice, he knew that low rumbling power, and when he looked out of the window, his heart stopped.
Rhys was on his knees, bundled up into Mor's arms as he cried, but Azriel couldn't listen, he couldn't listen to the pain in his brothers voice, he couldn't stop himself from bursting from the room and running down the staircase.
His mind was blinded by hope and love and the mere possibility that you might have made it back too, "Where is my wife?"
Rhys rose to his feet, looking around the space as if he would find you not standing too far away, and frowning when he saw that you had vanished, "She was just here," Azriel could have crumbled at the words.
She was just here.
You were back. You had come back to him.
Rhys went to speak again but Azriel was already gone, he scoured the house top to bottom, checking every room and hallway, he went to the library, hoping to see you curled up in your spot like you had never left and the last fifty years had been nothing but a putrid nightmare.
Azriel's heart ached, he reached deep within him, deep into a place he couldn't bring himself to graze, and tugged.
Once. Twice.
The gates opened.
Azriel saw the golden thread pour from his chest, he saw it hum like a pulse as it stretched out and slithered around the corner, and his shadows danced outward to meet it, to wrap around the golden threat leading him to you, peering backward as if telling him to go.
Your mate, your husband, followed that thread, he followed it up the staircase and down the halls, breezing past the portraits hanging on the wall until he stood before the closed door of the bedroom. Azriel reached out a hand that was trembling and twisted the doorknob, softly pushing it open to reveal you.
Weight had dropped from you, and your posture was shrouded with fear as it hunched inward, your hugged yourself as your head surveyed the space. Then he saw the scars, the marred flesh poking from the back of the dress that hung from your body, a humiliation to everything you stood for, and his eyes landed on the rings of scarred flesh around your wrists and ankles, some still angry and red and peeling.
What had she done to you?
Shuddering, you turned around, stopping in your tracks at the male in the doorway being kissed by the moonlight pouring in from the thin slits of the curtains.
He was as beautiful as you remembered, hazel eyes that you had dreamt of nightly to allow you to hold onto some hope, the sharp jaw and cheekbones that you imagined your fingers brushing against, his lips that would often call out to you, not like you remembered the sound of his voice.
"Az?"
His breathing hitched and became shaky, you knew he was doing his best to not be overcome with emotion, not when you had every reason to cry and fall apart, "Say it again."
A soft sob broke through your lips at the sound, so low and hoarse, raw, but still teeming with warmth and beauty, of brighter tomorrows.
Say it again.
"Az."
Even in the dark he could see your face crumple and contort, and he rushed to you as you weakly reached for him, not being able to stop the sobs pulling from his chest either.
It was all there. Nightfall. Starlight. Salted oceans. Warm beaches.
Azriel cupped your face in his hands, so delicately, like he was afraid to break you, and tears fell from his eyes. It was you. Glazed orbs of plum peered up at him, your fingers reached to brush his tears away, "Is this some beautiful nightmare?"
Air rushed from his lungs, your eyes were glazed over, almost as if you were in some sort of trance, "No, my angel," his voice was a hush above a whisper, his fingers caressed your cheeks, "This is real."
"I'm home?"
Realisation hit you and your eyes became clear, "You're home."
"I thought I was lost," you placed your hands on his arms, and he watched your tattoo dance in the moonlight, a twin to his own, "I knew I'd find you."
Azriel pulled you in close, he cradled your head against his chest and held you tighter as the weight of the last fifty years crushed you, "My wings," you cried and Azriel's wings pinned themselves backward, dipping themselves from sight, "She took them. How can you love me? How can you see me as anything other than weak?"
Lifting your head to meet his, Azriel's finger trailed the line of your jaw, "You are not weak, my love. Weakness would weep at the mere thought of being associated with you, for they will never get to know what it's like to have courage in the most awful of odds. It would never get to know you, because it is not a part of you and it never will be. I love you, y/n. I have always loved you and always will. I would love you in any form, in any life, in any universe. You are mine. You are my everything. You are the strongest thing I have ever encountered and the most beautiful thing to walk the heavens."
"You would not save your entire court, your family, and your husband, and go through everything you have been through, and lost what you have lost, if you weren't the strongest creature on this planet," Azriel's lips curled downward, uneven breaths fell from his lips, "I forgot the sound of your voice."
In the worst moments of your torture, all you thought of was Azriel and this moment, the moment where it would have all been worth it just to see him healthy and alive, "I forgot yours too."
Azriel sighed, he pressed his forehead against yours and took a moment to just inhale you, to let the ocean breeze pour into his soul and bring him back to life, "Can I hold you?"
Nodding softly, you felt Azriel pull away, he peeled that dress from your body and pulled one of his jumpers over your head. He led you gently over to the bed, placing you down on the side of the mattress which had forgotten the shape of you and pulled you into him.
"I'm sorry for what this has done to you."
It hadn't escaped your eye at all, the curls of onyx under his eyes, the droop of his wings, the worry that clung to him and haunted his every step. It may have been awful Under The Mountain, but you'd never want to be the one waiting for their love to come home. It would destroy you.
Azriel didn't say anything as his fingers raked over your scalp, loosening all the tension in your mind. The scent of cedar and night-kissed mountains flooded you and you nestled into that spot on his chest, reaching behind you to pull his wing over your side and smiling softly at the feeling of it. To have wings.
"I'm home," Azriel just held onto you tighter, moulding your body to the curves of his own, pressing kisses into your hairline and running his fingers through your hair.
Then your breathing fell soft, your eyes had drifted closed, and you looked peaceful, a soft smile lingered on your lips.
Azriel slept better than he ever had that night, knowing that you were back, that you had come home to him, and knowing that no matter where you walked, Azriel would always follow.

8x14 coda
It was a good morning.
Eddie let himself sleep in—there had been a concert the night before, and he’d picked up a couple of late night fares. Chris was still in bed when he woke up, but he was there, in Eddie's house, right there on the other side of the bedroom door. He felt refreshed, at peace with himself and the world around him.
It wasn't perfect, of course. Chris helped a lot, but no matter how much work he put in, the house still didn't quite feel like home. He knew what was missing. It was glaringly obvious.
Chris may have been the most important person in his life but he wasn’t Eddie's only family, and the absence of Buck and the rest of the 118 only felt more pronounced now Chris was back, and the gaping wound of his absence was beginning to heal. Like at the site of any incident, the most painful injuries always make themselves known only after the emergency is over.
His vitals were stable, the life-or-death fight had been won, and he suddenly found himself without the use of his left arm.
He started breakfast, figuring the smell of bacon would be as good as any alarm clock to wake Christopher, and tapping Buck's contact as a matter of routine.
There was no answer, and Eddie pushed aside his disappointment. It was later than they usually called. Buck was on shift already, might even be out on a call.
Eddie sent him a text instead, replying to the good morning message that had been waiting in their chat when he woke up.
Chris sat at the table, inhaling his bacon and eggs as though he hasn't eaten in a week.
“What's on the agenda today?” he asked between bites.
“Chris, swallow, please,” Eddie laughed, pretending to wipe away a spit fleck from his face. “I thought I'd tackle the front yard?”
“Gardening? So you need my help, then.”
“I wouldn't say no,” Eddie admitted. “But only if you're done with your weekend homework.”
Chris dropped his head on the table with a dramatic sigh. “Ugh. Fine. I have to finish that English assignment, but I'm all yours after!”
Eddie checked his phone, then tucked it away. “Great! Abuela was telling me about a nursery she likes the other day—how about I pull some weeds while you finish your assignment, then we can drive out together and pick out some plants?”
“Deal.” Chris shoved the last bit of bacon in his mouth and reached for his crutches. Eddie let him get halfway to his room before calling after him.
“Hey, have you heard from Buck today?”
“Not yet!” Chris’s bedroom door closed behind him, leaving Eddie on his own.
It was fine.
Everything was fine.
He waited an hour, weeded a decent patch of the yard, then tried calling again.
No answer.
He sent another text, then switched tactics, texting Chim to ask how their gender “reveal” had gone.
For good measure, he also texted Hen a picture of the patch he'd been working on with a complaint that she'd stolen Buck’s free labor from him.
He worked for twenty more minutes, then checked his phone again.
No answers. From anyone.
Something was wrong.
Eddie made his way inside.
“Hey, ready to go?” Chris asked from his spot on the couch. “Finished my assignment—you can check it if you want.”
Eddie didn’t say anything. He just sat next to him, turning on the TV and switching channels until he found somewhere showing the news. It was a local channel, and Eddie grunted in frustration.
“What's wrong?” Chris asked, picking up on his mood.
“I don't know,” Eddie managed to say through gritted teeth as he searched for something, anything that would tell him what was happening in LA right now. Finally, he remembered Google.
It didn't take long to find the breaking news story about the lab explosion, the quarantine, the virus. And there, beside the army tents and the news vans was a ladder truck, the familiar red with 118 emblazoned on it. Eddie's hands shook as he read the story, clicked the video, and heard the words firefighters trapped inside alongside potentially deadly contagion.
He felt completely useless, hundreds of miles away while his family was at risk. Chris leaned into his side. “Are they—”
The reporter interrupted. “We have received word that there are at least two firefighters in critical condition, with no sign of any relief incoming. Doctor, what can you tell us about the virus?”
The camera cut away to a woman in a lab, who started explaining something, but Eddie didn't hear a word.
He closed the news site and started texting everyone he could think of—Buck, Bobby, Hen, Chim, Ravi, Athena, Maddie, Karen, even Tommy, though he hated himself even as he sent it. Karen replied right away, though she didn't know much more than he did. Finally, Maddie was able to give him some information, and his heart broke as he read it.
Chris comes back into the room, though Eddie hadn't even registered him leaving.
“Buck's okay. He got out, no sign of infection, he's working on getting them out, but…”
“The others?” Chris guessed.
“Hen,” Eddie confirms. “And Chim, they… he's infected, and she's… Bobby had to…”
They were down a medic, he remembered. If he had been there, he could have helped them, not made Bobby do the surgery. Sure, it had gone okay but with these things, even the tiniest error could…
Eddie’s breathing was coming short and fast, until Chris put a hand on his shoulder. “Dad. Breathe, Dad. You can't drive if you're panicking.”
“Drive?” He asked. It was then he noticed the bag in Christopher’s hand.
“I know we have to come back. You bought the house, and I have school and… but I want to go back. I… please, dad? Can we go home?”
Eddie's phone pinged, the name he’d been longing to see all day flashing on the screen.
Buck: I'm safe, but it's. It’s bad, eddie.
Buck: Chim is
Buck: and Hen
Buck: fuck
Buck: so glad you're safe in Texas rn. I couldn't
Buck: sorry
Eddie felt the tears begin to pour down his face. “Don't forget to pack your meds,” he said. “And snacks—we’ve got a long drive ahead of us.”

Feminine and Sweet Pt.2
NSFW 17+

Warnings: Innocent reader, James being a freaky little pervert, both are 19, masturbation, p in v sex, unprotected sex
Pt.1 here
Word count - 2.8K
✭-----------------------------✭
James felt like he had been tweaking all day. The thought of her getting home from church and potentially cuddling up in her bed, unaware of what he had done made him crazy horny. And the feeling of her underwear in his pocket just made it worse. His roommate Lars was home all day meaning he couldn't take care of the growing problem in his jeans once more…but Lars was going out tonight, which meant he had the apartment to himself.
He tried to busy himself all day with various tasks, picking up the disaster of a room, playing his guitar, trying to watch a movie, but he couldn't focus on anything. Lars had noticed how antsy he seemed to be, asking if he was alright, causing James to flush. He brushed it off, leaving the living room to go lay in bed, only thinking of her. He tossed and turned for a while before he finally heard it, Lars leaving the house, his car driving off.
Almost immediately his pants were dropped and his shirt thrown somewhere in the room. James laid back against his pillow, staring up at the ceiling as he slowly stroked himself. He let out a sigh of relief, tension in his body slipping away. He grabbed her panties, pressing them to his face, a groan leaving his lips. She smelled so good, it made him want to bury his face between her legs, tease that innocent little cunt of hers and show her how to feel good. How to feel just like he did now. His hand stroked himself faster, his breathing ragged as he shamelessly moaned out her name once more. He moved her panties from his face and wrapped them around his painfully hard cock, shivering at the feeling, shivering at the thought of it being her hand or her pussy wrapped around him instead. He felt so sensitive, his body jerking slightly at his lewd feelings, his hand moving faster, hips raising off of the bed. He wondered what noises she would make if she was on top, how hypnotic her breasts would look while she was riding him. How it would feel to have her bouncing on his lap, how much she'd soak his abdomen with her juices.
James couldn't help it as he let out a whine, his eyes shut tightly in pleasure. His hips jerked further as he came all over her panties and his hand. His movements slowed but he didn't stop, he teased himself, feeling overly sensitive, whimpering her name as if she was there torturing him. His hand ran up and down his chest, teasing his own nipple, wishing desperately it was her hand. His body shook lightly as he finally stopped, taking in harsh breaths to calm down. He propped himself up against his pillows as he reached over to grab a few tissues, wiping his mess off of his hand and stomach.
The sight of her sticky panties made him moan again, but the thought of her wearing them just like this was almost unbearable. He needed that, he needed to see her, to feel her…he needed to taste her.
His fingers played with the mess on the fabric before he brought them to his face again. He was a little nervous, hesitating since the idea was a little weird. Slowly he stuck his tongue out, tasting himself and maybe even her on the fabric. It was crazy but he enjoyed it anyway, the thought of her taste being on the dirty panties sent another bolt of desire through him. The more he savoried his feelings, the more dirty and perverted thoughts filled his head.
He couldn't wait any longer, he needed to see her. He swung his legs over the side of his bed and reached for his jeans and boxers. He looked at the panties in his other hand, the thought of putting them on crossed his mind but even that was a little too insane for him. He opted for shoving them back into his pocket as he put his clothes back on.
James grabbed his truck keys before sprinting out of the apartment, quickly driving off. He parked down the street from her house, getting out and walking towards the tree he would climb. All of the lights on the house were off. It was perfect. James climbed the tree and slowly opened her window, climbing in.
“James?” Her soft voice cut through the quiet, dark room. Just the sound of it sent a shiver through him.
“Yeah, it's me,” He replies, stepping towards her bed. His eye started to adjust further to the dark, seeing her sitting up and watching him, she leaned over and turned on the small lamp by her bed.
“What are you doing here?” She asks quietly, squinting and blinking a few times from the bright light. She was leaning up against the same pillow he had violated earlier causing him to smirk lightly.
“I wanted to see you, I couldn't wait any longer,” He tells her, sitting down on the edge of her bed, his hand resting on her thigh through the covers.
“You can't come every night, James. I'll get caught and get in trouble eventually,” She scolds him a bit causing him to chuckle softly. He sits further onto her bed before crawling over to her and laying next to her.
“We won't get caught, baby,” He reassures her, gently toying with the ends of her hair which was neatly braided. The sight of her in that nightgown was almost too much. He wanted to pin her down right there but he knew he couldn't, he had to go slow with her.
“I have work in the morning, I don't want to stay up too late,” She explains, shifting lightly to face him, resting her head against his chest.
“Well, I thought we could try something tonight, babe. It will be worth staying up for,” James grins down at her, continuing to play with her hair, his other hand starts to gently trail across her arm.
“Try what?” She asks curiously and innocently, not realizing his intentions. James sits up a little, leaning against the headboard before pulling her leg over his lap so that she is straddling him.
“Something like this,” He says quietly, pushing her nightgown up her thighs just a bit, exposing skin he had never seen before. His heart speeds up at the sight and he has to bite back a groan.
“What are you doing?” She asks him confused and a bit worried, placing her hands over top of his.
“Do you want to feel really good, baby? Because I can make that happen,” He asks with a small grin, pulling her a little closer so that her chest was almost touching his. She hesitates, still a little confused before nodding her head. James leans forward and places a kiss on her lips.
“Good girl. Now you like when I kiss you, yeah?” He asks another question, his hands wandering further up under her nightgown. The feeling of goosebumps rising on her skin caused him to smile wider, anticipation growing further.
“Of course I do,” She says innocently, nodding her head and smiling sweetly at him as he places a quick kiss against her. She moves her hands from his wrists and places them around his shoulders.
“Well I'm gonna kiss you everywhere…is that all right?” He says, leaning further forward, his nose brushing her jaw lightly.
“Everywhere?” She asks a bit confused, and a little shocked. He chuckles softly, kissing her jaw a few times.
“Everywhere…and it will feel so good, I promise.” James replies, trailing his kisses across her jaw before they reach her neck. He felt her shiver lightly as he lightly nips her skin.
“...Okay,” She says, her voice still a little hesitant but he could hear her curiosity. He hums in satisfaction, smiling as he continues to kiss her neck, reaching her collarbone. His hands slide further up her nightgown before pulling it off. He couldn't help but groan at the sight of her breasts, her nipples soft and perfectly feminine.
“You're so beautiful…most beautiful woman I've ever seen,” He whispers before his lips attach to her breasts. She lets out a small yelp, grabbing his head lightly as if going to push him away but she stops. The feeling of his lips on her breasts was unexpected…but she loved it. One breast was occupied by his mouth, kissing and licking and nipping lightly, the other being kneaded by his hand. A quiet moan slips from her lips causing her to cover her mouth.
“Why can't I control that?” She asks him a bit confused. He laughs quietly, looking at her for a moment.
“That's just your body's reaction to something that feels really good, baby. You like what I'm doing, don't you? “ He smiles at her. She noticed the wild look in his eyes, the slight obsession in his touches but she doesn't think much of it.
“I like it…keep going,” She nods, giving him permission to keep kissing her. He grins happily before burying his face back into her breasts, moaning quietly himself. He sits up a bit further before pushing her onto her back, hovering over her light and kissing down her stomach.
“If you like me kissing you there, you're gonna like this a whole lot more…but you gotta promise to be quiet, can you do that?” He speaks to her softly. She nods her head, looking down at him as his head trails lower on her abdomen. His fingers loop under her panties, his heart leaping to his throat. He was about to taste her, really taste her and this time it was real. But her hands grabbed his wrists before he could pull them down.
“You're going to kiss me down there?” She questions, looking a bit mortified. He chuckles once more, grinning up at her.
“I am, and it will feel so good, baby. So good you'll be shaking.” He says, waiting for her to give him permission. She hesitantly moves her hands back to his shoulders. He pulls her panties down further being met with the sight of her cunt. So untouched, so sweet, and he was the one that got to ruin it. He was definitely drooling at this point, his body trembling in anticipation and excitement. He doesn't take his eyes off of her as he tosses her panties off to the side. He leans down further, moving her legs to hang over his shoulders. He looked to her face to see her innocently and curiously watching him with her perfect little doe eyes. Fuck, he was doomed. She had ruined him in ways she didn't realize…and he was about to ruin her in ways she didn't understand.
He lowered his head, the full smell of her intoxicating, filling his senses and making him dizzy with pleasure. He connected his lips to her, kissing gently to gauge her reaction. She jerked lightly, her movements unsure as she watched him. He kissed her again, letting her expect it, letting her dwell on it. She doesn't try to stop him so he continues, licking her this time.
“Oh!” She lets out quietly, he smiles against her, his eyes flicking up to her face, watching her as his mouth keeps moving. He could tell she was struggling to not make noise, her face contorted in a pleasure she didn't quite understand. He couldn't help but grind his hips down against the bed, starting to feel uncomfortable in his jeans. His hands gripped her thighs tighter as he pressed his face further between them, getting lost in the taste of her and the feeling of her pussy against his tongue. He couldn't help himself, he moved one hand and gently pushed a finger into her. She moaned a little louder, making him smile.
“Shhh, gotta be quiet, remember,” James reminds her, slowly moving his finger in and out of her. God she was tight…he needed to feel her around his dick.
“You like the way that feels, baby?” He questions her. She watched his wrist moving slowly as he fingered her. She nods, looking up at his face with half lidded eyes, clearly filled with pleasure. He pushes a second finger into her, seeing her eyes practically roll back, her lids fluttering shut. It took so little to set her off, he thought, so many new feelings causing her body to jerk with sensitivity. He watched her closely, feeling like he could explode in his pants at any moment but he couldn't…he wanted to be inside of her when he did that. She covers her mouth as another uncontrollable noise slips from her lips, her hips raising off of the bed.
“Do you want more?” he asks her, stopping his fingers for a moment.
“More?” She questions, panting lightly. He smiled down at her, pulling his fingers out, taking in the sight of her slick covering them for a moment.
“Yeah, I can give you a lot more,” He tells her before being unable to resist the urge to stick his fingers in his mouth, moaning as he tastes her once more. He brings them down to her lips, she hesitantly opens her mouth, sucking on his fingers.
“You taste so good, Birdie,” James tells her quietly, she just nods as she sucks his fingers. He grins before removing them. He stands up from the bed and peels his shirt off before pulling his jeans and boxers down. Her eyes go wide as she sits up on her elbows, looking at him.
“Think you can handle it?” He asks, feeling even more confident as he pulls her closer to the edge of the bed, placing her ankles on his shoulders.
“You're going to put it where your fingers were?” She asks a bit nervously, looking up at him with her pleasure filled doe eyes.
“I am, baby. It will feel even better than my fingers. You're gonna be a good girl and take it right?” He smiles down at her, his hands groping her chest lightly. She nods once more. He grabs her hands and places them on her chest, making her play with her own breasts. He groans lightly at the sight before gripping her thighs once more and slowly pushing into her. Holy fuck he almost bust immediately. But he didn't, he wanted to feel her come around him first. She clamped her hand over her mouth, hiding her noises as he kept going. He could feel her legs trembling already, her eyes squeezed shut. He slowly bottomed out, feeling his own body trembling at the feeling of her tight walls squeezing him. He pulled out most of the way before slamming into her once more, causing her to let out a high-pitched squeal, muffled by her hand.
He could feel her getting wetter, loosening around him causing him to pick up his pace. With each thrust he watched her breasts move, and felt her squirming under his touch. His hands gripped her hips tightly to keep her in place as he pounded into her. They both kept as quiet as they could but there was nothing they could do about the filthy noises coming from between their legs, her slick practically dripping out of her and onto her sheets. They needed to be washed anyway from what he had done on them this morning.
“Jamie! I- it feels weird,” She pants quietly, biting her lip to keep quiet. Her hands grabbed his wrists as if bracing herself for something she didn't know was coming…well, her. She was coming.
“Let it happen,” He grunted, finding it difficult to speak as he held himself back. The feeling of her sensitive squirming getting worse and her walls fluttering around him drew his own orgasm to the surface. Her back arches, her hand clamping over her mouth once more as she squeals again, her eyes rolled back into her head as her body lightly convulses. He couldn't hold it any longer, he felt thick spurts of cum shoot out of him, somehow even more than this morning. He grips her thighs tightly, trembling as he whimpers softly, his own eyes shut as he's overwhelmed with the most intense feelings he has ever felt.
They stay like that for a few moments, catching their breaths and trying to calm down before he pulls out of her. He doesn't care about the mess as he climbs onto the bed and lays down, pulling her against him, their hot skin sticking together.
“You were right, that was worth staying up late for.” She says quietly, looking up at him with sleepy eyes. He smiles once more, placing a kiss against her lips.
“I told you,” He says softly, pulling her even closer.

Hi! can I please request an Older! Eddie Munson x Hargrove! reader, maybe they're neighbors and they hate each other, Eddie gets tired of of "the Hargrove kid" (reader) always doing parties, he tried to talk with Billy, Reader's dad, but he didn't thought his daughter would be like that, so Eddie talks with reader again, so they end up making out (maybe you could add smut) p.s I think I sent you this request before, but I don't remember!
Older Eddie 🫶🏻🫶🏻 I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it. Thank you for requesting
⚠️ smutty
Weekend nights

Eddie groaned as the loud music woke him up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and glared toward his alarm clock, he sighed. Another Friday night rest was interrupted by his neighbor.
He reached over for his landline and dialed his neighbor, it rang and rang. Then sent him to voicemail. He rolled his eyes as his call remained ignored by the loud party going on. He slipped on a shirt and walked over to his window. Not to his surprise, the yard was covered in young kids.
Eddie had been dealing with his neighbor every weekend for the past month, and he was tired of it.
Eddie and Y/N weren't friends, and not even close to being friendly neighbors. Y/N got on Eddie's nerves. The way she purposely drove him crazy then batted her eyelashes and faked innocence. She crashed her car into his garbage bins and refused to take the blame. On Halloween she egged his house, only to send him a kiss when he marched out the door. She was a pain in his ass.
~~
Sunday morning arrived and Eddie pounded on the Hargrove's door. He came face to face with Billy. The annoyed look made Eddie think twice.
"You have any idea what time it is Munson?" Billy growled, his strong arms crossed and Eddie tried not to back down.
"Do you have any idea what time your daughter's parties go until? It's been a month since of her waking me up at two am because she refuses to turn down the music. I've called, I've crashed the party, and she has no respect!" Eddie ranted.
"Are you at my door and excusing my daughter of throwing wild parties when I'm not home?" Billy glared, unaware Y/N was coming down the stairs. Her eyes caught Eddie, and she smirked. She yanked down her little tank top, allowing her breasts to pop through.
Eddie bit his lip as he tried to hold in his annoyance. She always played mind games.
"Why would I lie?" Eddie fought back, his attention back on Billy.
"My daughter is a good girl, and she has respect. Get off my porch." Eddie sighed as the door slammed in his face, but still caught the wink Y/N sent.
~~
It was Friday night once again, and Eddie pulled into his driveway. He was tired from work and needed uninterrupted sleep. He walked towards the Hargrove's house and pounded on the door.
"Mr. Munson, how can I help you?" Y/N flirted, her body leaning towards him as she smirked. She would never deny it, if anyone asked her she'd admit how hot she thought Eddie was. And the countess times she thought about him late at night. Eddie marched in the house and Y/N closed the door behind them.
"Oh stop the act," Eddie sneered, "tonight I want silence. No party, no friends, nothing. I want to sleep through the night without your games. I am done with the disrespect."
Y/N couldn't help but clench her thighs as Eddie scolded her. The older man always had her attention and she loved pestering him. She loved that heat and anger in his eyes.
"Oh? And I'm supposed to just obey? It's not like you're my daddy." She pouted, batting her eyelashes. Eddie hated to admit the nickname made him shiver.
"You drive me insane." Eddie groaned as he rubbed his hands over his face. Not noticing Y/N inched closer.
"Maybe I want to drive you insane," She whispered, he jumped when he felt her cold hands slide down his chest. He dropped his hands, moving to move her hands but caught himself not wanting to.
She turned her head to the side and looped her fingers through his belt loops.
"Why?" he whispered back, licking his lips as he looked down at hers.
"Because I want you to fuck me, Munson. Use that aged brain of yours."
She gasped when Eddie dug in hand in her hair, a soft yet harsh tug. "Watch your mouth, young lady." He threatened.
"Yes, sir." She moaned, she swore her mouth was watering at how close his mouth was to hers.
"Why didn't you use your big girl words to ask me? Why pester me and drive me insane?" He asked, his other hand lifted up her chin. He smirked at how easily she turned into a puddle in his hands.
"More fun this way." She tried to laugh but his lips were on hers before she could think. She moaned into his mouth and hungrily gripped at his body. He felt so hard yet soft underneath his dirty white tank top.
"Fun indeed," he teased against her lips as he pulled away.
"What if I fuck you every weekend and you don't throw parties?" He asked, his hand slipping into her pants, he pushed her underwear aside and began to finger her tight cunt.
She panted as she tried to think of words. Sounded like the perfect deal in her head. His fingers felt like a blessing inside of her, and his tongue in her mouth set her on fire.
"Deal" she moaned as she began to ride his fingers.
"Daddy's good girl my ass." Eddie snickered.
Eddie didn't dread the weekends anymore....

no man's land - s 3 - rafe & sofia
collection: canon rafe/sofia fics
plot: rafe and sofia's "first" meeting in season 3. just some hurt/comfort and fluff. i was saving this for my dying town but there's no harm in releasing it as a one shot. The Pelican Club is Rafe's "ironclad alibi" in 3x05 for when Barry takes the cross. trope: that cliche of rich guy who's impressed by the one girl who doesn't fall at his feet. a/n: i'm not good at writing drunk people but in my mind rafe is basically a functioning alcoholic at this point so it doesn't really matter. he's still pretty concious. bit of a cruel place to end things but i hope you enjoy the unresolved sexual tension. inspired by the first time by damiano david. 2.5k and briefly proof-read. banner is @kodaswrld and gradient is called CS - Shades of Yellow.
She'd drawn the short straw.
Her coworkers had lumped her with the task of clearing out the stragglers so they could close. By straglers they usualy meant Kook assholes with unhappy marriages to go home to. Tonight, however, that meant the Cameron boy brooding in the corner, six drinks deep and ignoring every social cue that the staff wanted him to leave.
The upturned chairs. The sweeping of the floor. The subtle offering of the cheque. None of it had had an impact and luckily, or unluckily, for Sofia she was the only server he hadn't had a run-in with yet so she had to deal with him.
There was something pensive about him sitting alone on the furthest corner of the deck staring out at the ocean, drink in hand, for hours on end. He wasn't causing a scene. He wasn't bothering the customers or getting dragged out by Topper. He didn't disappear off to a club or a house party. He stayed there, alone. He was quiet. Uncharacterstically still.
The Pelican sat in this weird grey zone of the island. Sailing was still mostly a Kook sport and the menu wasn't exactly cheap but a few Pogues could still afford to dine there. A level of decorum and class was expected. Kooks could exist there simply by breathing where as Pogues dressed up to the nines and saved a weeks wages just to get in the door. It was a melting pot. Mingling was normal, business deals were made, drinks were sent across to pretty girls' tables, maybe that's why his quiet isolation in the corner was so inticing. It pulled her in like the First Girl creeping through a dark creaking house in a slasher film. Deeper and deeper. Curiouser and curiouser.
"We're closing up"
"Yeah yeah!" he waved her off "Give me a minute"
She bit her tongue and kept her smile bright and her hands politely clasped in front of her. "I'm afraid i can only buy you about five. See those people over there." she was relieved when he actually turned away from the horizon and looked. "They're dying to go home and you're the last one here."
But that relief was short-lived, he shrugged with a nonchalant pout and turned right back to what he was doing. "I'll leave when I'm ready." There was a bite to his words this time, like he was aalready on the offensive. This was going to be harder than she thought. No wonder noone else wanted to deal with him.
"I'm not here to fight you."
"You want me to leave. I want to stay. What'd you call that?"
"A negotiation" she pulled up a seat without asking . "Something tells me you don't like being bossed around"
No response.
"Bad day?" she tried again.
He huffed a scoffed laugh, his lips curling slightly at the thought. "Bad year"
"So..." Sofia shrugged and pulled a paper bag out from the hem off her skirt and offered it to him. His face scrunched in baffled confusion and a speck of disgust, like drinking in public was beneath him or perhaps hiding it felt stupid. A beach. A club. The Boneyard, were all fine for him, sure, but not this. Of course he didn't care, Kooks never got caught. Pogues always did. "Why don't we walk and talk about it"
"I don't need help"
Sofia grimaced at the jab. He really was blocking her at every turn. The conversation was a kindness, a compromise, and he was treating it like an insult. She smothered that frustration in a perched brow and knowing smile. Two could play hard ball. "Yeah...but you want to keep your drink"
Those sharp blue eyes, now hazy, red and unfocused, fell on the green glass for a moment. He stared, deep in thought like the drunken cogs were trying their best to turn in his brain. With a thoughtful pout he relented and flopped an expectant open hand on the table. "Give it to me"
She faught the urge to smile in victory and nodded to herself. Progress. She handed him the bag and waved her coworkers over to clear his table.

The Pelican Yatch Club wasn't as nice as The Island Club but it was public, insanely public and today he needed to be seen. Seen, but not bothered. At the club who knew how many of his dad's friends would sling their arms around their shoulders or give him a wide berth and a snooty stare. The exclusivity of the club used to be a balm but now it felt like a hand around his throat. A crowd he'd never belong in. Especially if Wardtook it all away from him now, right when he just starting to get somewhere.
At the Pelican he could blend. He could be seen by a thousand faces in a night and have a thousand witnesses when Ward asked where he'd been when Barry took the cross. He could do all that without lifting a finger, without ever having to talk to anyone. As far as everyone knew his dad was dead and the Cameron family was in tatters and he needed his space. So they gave it to him.
Except, apparently, this one determined little Pogue.
He couldn't remember half the shit he said to her on their way out of the Club and down the marina but he ranted and she let him. He lost track of time before he realized she'd somehow led him a tiny stretch of sand in the middle of the rows of docks and shops and built up waterfront. He'd never seen the beach before in his life but she sighed as if she came here every day and plopped down onto the sand in her pristine white uniform like it was nothing. Like she didn't care if it got dirty.
"I thought we were walking?"
"I've been on my feet all day" she reminded, slipping out of her white sneakers and socks and letting her bare feet sink into the cool sand with a relieved sigh. "Sit. It's nice"
He grumbled something about ruining his shorts, sipping his still half full bottle as the brown paper rustled and crinkled in his tight grip. The sand was cold and rough through his shorts and against the palm he was leaning back on. It wasn't as pleasant as she'd promised. "Why are you doing this?" It came out more like an accusation than an actual question. It was bizzare behaviour. He would've thought she wouldn't want to be within three feet of him unless she was paid to be there.
"It was the easiest way to get you out of there" she shrugged and turned back to the water. He watched the rugged strands of her bangs get knocked about in the breeze, that soft thick brown hair that looked so tough and hard edged and yet was malleable and delicate.
"What?" he scowled into his next sip, bristling at the thought of needing to be handled like some kid or crazy in a straight jacket. "The path of least resistance or some shit?"
"Yeah. You're on the wall"
"There's a wall?"
"Mhm. Do not enter and Proceed with caution. You're teetering on the edge"
"So you know me?"
"I know everyone" she corrected but something shifted in her face and her nonchalance seemed to drain away. Her lip quirked a rufeul little hint of a smile and she tugged her knees to her chest and ducked her head slightly as her voice dipped "that's the job"
His eyes narrowed and the thought tumbled out "You hate it here"
He saw the shock register on her face for the briefest of moments and he knew he was right. She stared at him with wide brown eyes and tight mouth. Moonlight making the white of her eyes glow and the rises and falls of her face glisten from the slant of her cheek bone to the hint of her clavicle tucked inside her shirt. He stored that fact about her away for later. Next time he needed to talk his way out of a bill or a fake ID. But then as quickly as it came it was gone. Those wide brown eyes narrowed and she shoved him, hard, with a stuttered laugh. "This isn't about me! This is about you drinking alone to 2am!"
He laughed openly and let his body move with her hand, swinging away and the ricocheting back to her side again. "Nah! I do that on the regular!"
"That's deeply concerning!" she retorted but her eyes were smiling. He almost caught the hint of a blush in the dim light as she tucked a hair behind her ear. "So...you decided to come back?" she looped back around to their former conversation.
"Hm?" he frowned at her mid-sip.
"Your step-mom moved away but you wanted to stay here?" she recapped for him and he remembered the cover story he'd told. A dead Dad. Unbearable grief. An overbearing maternal figure. It was a good sob story really. Probably enough to get into her good books, if not further.
"Right, yeah. I did"
"Why?" Why would anyone choose to live here? Why would anyone choose to leave their family?
He took a moment to really grapple with that question. Why dig his heels in after it had stung so much to have Ward send him away? "I want to build something"
The cross had been a taste. A foreshadowing of a life he could build, with Sarah out the way and Barry in his pocket. He could prove Ward wrong. He could do his own thing. Build his own empire.
"Really?" That got her attention and in his peripheral, he saw her turn to him properly now as his eyes stayed focused on picking the sand out of his nail beds as his hands twitched. "Instead of coasting?"
Ward's words circled in his mind and tugged on his nerve endings. All this time he'd wanted him to step up, to do something, and now when he finally had it didn't mean jack shit. He was on to the next thing. The next big break. This atonement shit. This new clean slate. He didn't want a clean slate. Living alone on some backwater island with Ward and Rose, miles away from the comforts and induglences (and vices) of home felt like a living hell. Wheezie, he could stand though. Maybe for five minutes. "Yeah..."

Sofia studied his hunched frame for a moment before turning back to the sea with a quite exhale and lifted brows. "Huh..."
"What?" he was back to the offense again, bristled and dark. "You expect something else?"
She let the attitude slide as she heard the slur in his voice and noticed how closed in his limbs were. Barricaded. Taut. Barbed. "It's just not what a trust fund kid would say..."
"Yeah, well I'm not a kid..." he was still snarky and sullen, sulking a little at some imagined assumption he thought she had but she didn't push. "I'm done with that shit..."
"What?" she beamed at the irony of those words from the boy who's dead dad's name was still on his tab. The kid would she'd caught using a fake ID and been the only Pogue stupid enough to call him on it. "All grown up?"
"Mhm. Man of the house now" Thankfully he took her joking in good faith and toasted his last sip of beer to her before downing the lot. There was something intriguing in that spark in his eye as he watched her over his bottle. The silence stretched longer than she'd expected it to.
He looked far too pleased with himself. Smug and sloppy and warm. Drunk and hazy and a lazy confidence that oozed ease and arrogance. He'd made it. He'd toppled the king and claimed his crown and won this hard won independence that she'd struggled her whole life for. It wasn't fair.
He was the man of the house. The only man of the house. Was it worth it? Was that freedom worth that loss? He'd lost his dad...and he was here drinking on a beach with a stranger instead of wrapping himself beneath the wings of a friend. Her heart ached inspite of herself. Surely any person in their right mind would find inheritance a bittersweet experience. Surely he had someone to go to.
"What?" he saw her face fall "Dissappointed?"
"I..." her eyes fell away "I can't imagine losing my Dad. Even when things are tough between us. It...." she shrugged at a loss for words and embarrassed at the intimacy they'd slipped into. She saw his smirk vanish but he didn't respond. He simply stared at her with wide bright eyes so intense and for so long that she had to break first and duck away in that prickling silence. "But...I...I " she began to ramble nervously. She'd clearly overstepped " I don't know your family so..."
Before she could fully register what was happening he'd crossed that divide between them and lifted her chin to meet his eye. Her heart caught in her throat. "You're good..." he murmured softly, his eyes focused and sincere for the first time that evening. "We're good" he swallowed thickly as his eyes dropped to where his thumb brushed back and forth against her cheek. "I just..." his tongue ran slow and careful over his bottom lip.
"Haven't talked about him?"
"Y-yeah..." there was a strain to his voice she couldn't place and before she could dissect it a smirk was sneaking onto his face. "You're curious...It's cute. Not bad"
"Oh? I'm curious, am I?" she pushed back on that taunt as if his fingers weren't already tangled in her hair. "About what?"
"Hm" he shrugged off that mystery and she couldn't help but giggle. "Don't know..." his eyes still followed his fingers as the slipped down from hair, grazing her neck and settling on her shoulder. The heat of his lingering presence and his palm against her polo clouded her brain in fog as his thumb stroked up and down up and down.
"You're drunk" it was a feeble excuse and she knew it. He'd had six drinks over a long lazy afternoon and now late into the evening. He'd been fine. She'd seen him do much worse.
"You could've chucked me in a cab but you didn't" his palm on the sand slipping behind her so he could lean closer and his hand on her shoulder slipped down to tug her knees down towards him. "See" his eyes flicked up to hers, smoky and certain, as she let him manuvouer her. "Curious"
She didn't fight him on that. Her nails dug into the sand in order to keep herself up right and her wide brown eyes darted back and forth between his own. When his eyes dipped to her lips a gasp hitched her throat and she allowed herself one self indulgent moment. She let her eyes drop from his so she could straigthen him collar, and feel the warmth of his skin and the hardness of his frame and force out the words. "I'm still on the clock"
He handed her his empty. "There. Now you're done"
She laughed openly with a roll of her eyes but he stayed determined, his hand came back to rest heavy and warm on her thigh and his thumb lifted from the sand to brush the back of her skirt.
"That's not a no"
"Let's get you that Uber"

Hi, again, you were the first person I asked for a fanfic from and you'll be the second and then I'll ask about the same character again (I don't know if my first request was sent).
Bridget(specifically the Queen of Hearts) x fem!Reader, where the reader is a bit like Alice Kingleigh(except without being underage, of course) and is located at the time of the croquet game, and the Cheshire Cat starts to making fun of the Queen of Hearts and the reader tries to stop it but ends up making everything worse in a romantic way
🌹The Queen of Hearts x Reader🌹
Reader pronouns: she/her
Pairing: The Queen of Hearts x Fem!Reader
Word count: 2.3k
Plot: Reader takes the role of Alice (as an adult of course) and is stuck in Wonderland. She finds her way off to meet the Queen in hopes for help but she only manages to anger the Queen. Fortunately for her, the Queen is fond of pretty women.
Extra: Hello! I just wanted to say I did receive your last request and it is currently in the works. But this idea just struck me with inspiration! I will get to your other one too :) thank you for the request.
It was dark and overwhelming. You sat on a rock and looked into your hands. How could you ever find your way home now? It felt like you'd been stuck in this place for ages. All alone and bothered by everything you touch. All alone yet nothing would leave you alone. So now you had no choice but to sit.
When you were a child, you parents always told you that if you were lost to stay in one place. Someone would surely find you. But how would anyone even think to look for you here? You weren't a child anymore. No one was looking for you like you were one.
"Is something wrong?"
A cheeky voice from behind you speaks up. You turn around and see a pink and purple cat with an unnatural grin. You've run into him before and you're concluded the only thing he's up to is mischief.
"Of course something's wrong. I've been stuck here for so long and I can't find my way." You let out a heavy sigh, looking back at the ground and sulking.
The cat purred and stretched across the branch he was sat on, "Why obviously. It's because you have no way... The only way here is the Queen's way." He says, the grin never leaving his face.
Your head perks up and you look back at the Cheshire Cat, "The Queen? I haven't met any Queen." You say, raising a brow.
Somehow the cat's grin managed to grow larger, "Oh? You haven't? But you simply must! She'd be just mad about you. She loves girls with pretty faces."
You stand up from the rock and face the cat, "How do I find her?" You ask. The Queen surely would know how to get out of here! She could definitely help you!
The cat stands on his two hind legs, "Well... Some people go that way," he mimicked walking to the right, "and some people go this way," he mimicked walking to the left, "But me, personally, I prefer this way." He says, putting his paw on one of the branches and pulling it.
The tree suddenly revealed a door and it opened. Your eyes widened in surprise. Compared to the dark and scary forest you were in now, through the door were hedges of green mazes and beautiful blue skies, "Oh, thank you Cheshire." You say, rushing in through the door and down the maze.
The maze had many paths and turns, all very sharp and abrupt. But it didn't take you long before you heard something. More like, someones.
"No, Two! You have to paint under the petals too or she'll see we painted them!" A voice yelled from around the corner.
You peak your head around the corner of the hedge and see three gardeners dressed in white and black attire. They were all holding paint brushes that dripped with red paint and painted white roses on the bushes.
You grow curious and slowly approach, "Excuse me. Why are you painting the roses?"
The three gardeners turn to you in sync,
"Oh well, because we accidentally planted the white ones and the Queen only likes the red ones. And with a mistake like this, it could be off with our heads!" One of them that had a '3' sewed into his top said, mimicking his head being chopped off with the red covered paint brush.
"Oh dear..." You say, growing concerned over the statement, "Then perhaps I should help you?" You offer, taking an extra paint brush from one of the paint buckets.
But as you pick up a brush you suddenly hear trumpets. The three gardeners begin to panic, snatching the brush out of your hand and hiding the evidence of the painting ever happening.
Then one of the gardeners grab you by the wrist and pull you to the side, gesturing you to follow and bow down.
You do just that, though confused as to what was happening, you still bowed, tilting you head down.
Numerous guards march their way into the garden, standing aside and making way.
Then one announced,
"Her Royal Highness, her grace, her excellency, The empress of Wonderland, The Queen of Hearts."
The Queen walked through. She was beyond beautiful. She had pin straight hair that was red as blood. Her crown was filled with hundreds of diamonds and her dress was more regal than you've ever seen, even in Auradon. Though she wasn't particularly tall, her presence towered over anyone around.
Even her stone cold expression made your chest feel heavy.
"Your majesty," All of the bowed guards and the gardeners said in unison as she walked through.
None of them dared to look at her but you couldn't seem to keep your eyes off of her, even with your head bowed down.
The Queen looked down on everyone around, walking ahead of the guards. Every step she took demanded respect and showed her royal status.
But she suddenly stopped by the rose bush. She silently touched the tip of her index finger to the painted rose, leaving a spot of paint on her finger.
"Who has been painting my roses?" She asks, her voice having the weight of a hundred daggers in your back.
The three gardners stood up, clearly petrified by the question, "Y.. you're majesty, I must say, it was two's idea!" The man labeled as '3' suddenly accused.
"Me? Of course it wasn't! It was Ace!" Two accused the man with an 'A' labeled on his top.
"Silence!" The Queen demanded, her eyes darkening as she approached the four of you. You stayed down, your heart beating faster in fear.
"Please, your majesty, we're very sorry, it will never happen again." Three pleads, dropping to his knees.
"I assigned you such a simple job and you could not even do it correctly? You make a mockery of me. Do you know what I am to do about that?" She asks, her British accent regal and quite attractive. The question was rhetorical. The three men clearly knew what happened next.
But before the Queen was about to scentence them to anything severe, her eyes laid on you, "And who might she be?"
"Oh, uhm—"
"Hush." Despite asking you a question, she immediately shushed you. With one wave of her hand she dismissed the gardners, her focus entirely on you now. She used her index finger, placing it under your chin and tilting you head up to get a good look at you. "You're not from here, and yet you're on royal grounds. Is there a reason for such things?"
You gulp, feeling like you were about to start sweating. You didn't know what it was you were feeling but it was making you feel hot. You twiddled your thumbs and felt you were about to sink into the ground below you, "Well, you see, I'm—"
"Do speak up when you address me." The Queen demanded. "Keep your head up and speak nicely. And don't twiddle your thumbs." She looked you up and down as if judging your appearance. "Point your toes out and curtsey before speaking again."
You do exactly as your told with now hesitation, pointing out the toes of your mary janes, lifting your blue skirt slightly and curtseying.
"Good girl." She said though it sounded more like she was mocking you, "And always say 'Yes, your Majesty.' That is how you shall address me."
"Yes, your majesty." You repeat.
The Queen places a hand on your shoulder. It was light but you felt like her hand would claw off your arm at any moment. She began to walk at a slow pace, urging you to follow her
"Now tell me, where are you from and where are you going?" The Queen questioned.
"Well, your majesty, I'm trying to find my way—"
You then get cut off again by a small laugh from the Queen. Not a real laugh. The kind of laugh that was more of an amused sound that came from her without even opening her mouth. As if what you said offended her.
You tried to think of the right words to not offend her but it was like anything that came out of your mouth had the potential of angering her, "I was just thinking—"
The Queen's eyes rolled in annoyance, "I don't care what you're thinking. With a face like that you're possibly just better off not thinking and just sitting still and looking pretty."
Her constant interruptions should irritate you beyond belief, but her words made your face feel hot and your chest tight, "Yes, your majesty. I just wanted to ask—"
And yet again, you were interrupted with just a wave of her hand to silence you, "I'll be asking the questions, hm?" She declared, stopping in her tracks and looking you up in down again, "Do you play croquet?"
The question caught you off guard. But it made you smile. Finally! A word you could make sense of! "Yes, your majesty. I do play."
"Wonderful." She said, the word dripping off her tongue like poison and a smile laced with venom.
With one demand from the Queen, all of her royal guards set up a game of croquet. It was finally something you could recognize. Something that made sense to you.
The Queen, naturally took her turn first. She picked up the red mallet, a guard placing the matching ball in front of her.
With one light hit, the ball shot through, giving her a perfect score.
She smiled cockily, pleased by her own accomplishment as the guards cheered for her.
"Your turn, dear." She said, walking to where you were standing aside.
You give a small nod and pick up the blue mallet. But, to your surprise, once you were about to hit the ball, your mallet turned into a blue flamingo. Your swing of the mallet was thrown off by the flamingo suddenly flapping it's wings, pulling you in every direction. You yelped at the suddenty of it.
"Stop—! You stupid—" you yell in frustration but couldn't seem to get the flamingo to cooperate. You were then suddenly knocked off your feet and landed on the grass.
The Queen watched in amusement, tapping her fingers against her own mallet. It was as if she found your frustration and misfortune entertaining.
"Well, that was a bit of a sorry turn, wasn't it?" She let out another sound of amusement, taking place on the playing field again.
You wished you could demand how it was unfair but you didn't. You watched as she was about to hit her ball again until the Cheshire Cat suddenly appeared behind her with a grin.
"How are you getting on?" The cat asked.
"Not at all." You huffed, crossing your arms, very frustrated with this whole ordeal.
"Hmm? What?" The Cheshire asked for you to repeat, as if he didn't hear you.
"I said, not at all!" You yelled, having enough of his mischief.
The Queen suddenly spun on her heel to face you, the cat disappearing again, "Who are you talking to?" She demanded.
The cat appeared behind her yet again with a grin,
"The cat, your majesty!" You say, pointing to the Cheshire behind her.
She turned her head to see no cat. She glared back at you, "What cat?" She seemed to be growing angrier.
The Cheshire appeared behind her again, "There!" You pointed again. And yet when she looked he was gone again.
The Queen was furious, assuming you were trying to play some sort of joke, "I'll have you know, I do not tolerate jokes." She marched toward you, grabbing you by the collar of your blue dress.
You wanted to defend yourself but only fell silent and nodded your head.
She turned back to her ball and there was the cat again. Only this time on her shoulder, still somehow unknown to her.
"Ya know, we could make her really mad?" The cat suggested with a grin. He stuck his paw out as if to grab her her crown or her hair or something, you weren't sure.
In a desprate attempt, to stop him from angering her more, you launch to try and grab him, only for him to disappear. And to your horror, you stumble into the Queen of Hearts. You and her both get knocked off your feet.
You fall on top of her, making your face heat up and your face go red. How could you not be flustered? Really, you should be scared. But being so close to such a beautiful woman like her made you feel all hot and bothered.
"Oh dear, I am so sorry, your majesty!" You quickly get off of her, "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to!" You quickly apologize, reaching out to help her up.
"Don't touch me." She demanded, standing up on her own and fixing her dress. She was not happy now.
"Please, forgive me. I was only trying to stop the cat." You plead.
The Queen takes a step closer to you, invading your personal space. You were horrified of what she would do next.
She put a hand on your shoulder and straightened the sleeve of your dress, looking down on you.
"You're lucky that I'd be too ashamed to cut off such a lovely head such as your own."
Your eyes were wide and you felt like you might explode. You definitely did not like the idea of your head being cut off. But it seemed that wasn't what she had in mind for you.
Even the guards seemed shocked she didn't immediately scentence you to be beheaded.
"I may have some use for you." She said, humming in thought for a moment, "Follow me." She demanded, walking back towards the castle and the guards immediately setting back to formation and guiding the two of you to the castle.
You had no idea what she had in store for you but you could only hope it was nothing as bad as your head being removed from your shoulders. Though it seemed that somehow she managed to take a liking to you. You just had to hope it stayed that wa

signora's wrongdoings | tartaglia x reader


synopsis: signora could't let tartaglia get distracted during his important mission in liyue, even for live-changing news word count: 2k cw: fem! reader, use of y/n, angst to kinda fluff, mentions of pregnancy, children, not proofread notes: i'm a sucker for family man tartaglia y'all don't get it
It had been a long year for the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger. Tartaglia had been dispatched to Liyue, sent to retrieve the Geo Archon's Gnosis, which he had been unsuccesiful at, for which La Signora had to step in. Then he'd been sent to Inazuma after Scaramouche had stolen the Electro Gnosis and fled, never to be found again.
La Signora had been the one with the task to retrieve the Gnosis, only for her to meet her end during the mission.
That was the only reason why Tartaglia was now walking down the snowy streets of Snezhnaya, having just attended her funeral, which in truth, he didn't much care about. He couldn't decline attendance, of course. But there's always two sides to look at.
Tartaglia couldn't help but be in a good mood as he made his way down to his familiar neighborhood. Children ran around, playing in the snow despite the harsh temperatures, laughing with rosy cheeks. It was cute. Tartaglia wondered if his little brother Teucer was also somewhere among the kids, but he had a different objective first.
He made it to his house, one he'd purchased two years ago. The blinds were pulled open and Tartaglia could see a few dirty dishes in the sink. He smiled at the sight, taking his keys out to unlock the door.
The worries started dissipating from his body as soon as the warmth hit him. He'd expected the house to be empty, truly. After recieving no word from her for almost a full year, he'd thought she'd left, and he couldn't come back to check. He would've understood her. He would've hated her decision, yes, but he was busy and the Tsaritsa was his top priority. Despite all the love he held for her.
Still, she was obviously still here. He couldn't wait any longer.
''Y/n? Are you home?'' He called as he took off his heavy coat, hanging it on the rack. There were two more, one he recognized to be Y/n's because he'd bought it for her just before he'd left for Liyue. The other one was oddly small. Tartaglia furrowed his brows, but before he could think further, he heard footsteps rushing from somewhere further in the house.
He walked into the living room, just to see her standing on the other side of the door, both hands over her mouth. Her eyes were wide as she stared at him, her eyes glazed as if she was about to start crying. Tartaglia couldn't help but laugh, immediately wrapping his arms around her.
Once he felt her arms engulf him, too, he knew he was home.
His nose was buried in her hair as she squeezed him tightly. He rubbed cirlces with his thumb on her side, trying to enjoy the moment as best as he could. ''You're back.'' Her voice was but a mere whisper, but Tartaglia still heard it, his chest warming up.
''I'm back, princess.''
They stood like that for a moment, in the middle of the doorway. Then it seemed as if something had struck Y/n, something that made her push him back, making his eyes go wide. ''No, I'm supposed to be mad at you. I haven't heard from you in months. Neither has your family. We were all starting to think you're dead! Why the hell haven't you been answering our letters, Ajax?''
Tartaglia furrowed his eyebrows. ''Hold on, slow down.'' He took a step closer, catching her elbows. His eyes softened as he observed her face, the current crease between her eyebrows, her narrowed eyes and pouty lips. Oh, how much he'd missed her. ''I never got any letters.''
It was Y/n's turn for her eyes to widen. ''What?'' She breathed out. She shook her head, grabbing his arms. ''No, that's not possible. I've sent you countless of letters, I wrote to you every other week. I sent them off specifically with that Fatuus you ordered to get our mail to send to you. He never . . . he never said you weren't recieving letters!''
She was shaking her head in disbelief as Tartaglia's eyebrows furrowed. He thought back to when he'd first arrived at Liyue. Letters were coming steadily, every other week as Y/n had said. Then he remembered them stopping once his mission got more heated, once he got more work. Once when . . .
Tartaglia closed his eyes, letting out a breath, trying to calm down the bubbling emotions inside him. There was no longer anyone to actually direct them to, after all. ''Signora must've been interfering in my mail. She was there, in Liyue and Inazuma, and she kept telling me not to get distracted and focus on my mission, I . . . I never thought she would be doing something like this behind my back.'' He caressed her face, feeling her lean into his palm. ''I'm sorry, princess.''
Y/n sighed. ''I'm sorry for getting mad, I just━'' He watched her visibly gulp, her eyes moving frantically, looking anywhere but at him. ''Something happened, Ajax, and I tried to tell you through all those letters but if you never got them there's no way you'd know but━''
''Y/n.'' Tartaglia caught her face with both hands, making her finally look at him. ''Calm down. What happened?''
''I know this is going to be . . . a lot to take in, Ajax,'' Y/n said as she took one of his hands in hers, giving it a tight squeeze. Tartaglia felt a pit forming in his stomach. ''Something really big happened. When I tell you . . . or, well, show you . . . please, stay calm and please don't . . . get mad or anything. If you don't want it, that's okay, I just━''
''You're starting to scare me, Y/n.'' Different thoughts started filling his head. Was she in danger? Was she leaving him? Had she found another lover? He was biting the inside of his cheek hard, trying to not voice such depressing thoughts.
Y/n removed his hands from her, taking a step back. ''Stay here. I'll be back in a second.''
Tartaglia did as told, standing in the middle of the living room, listening to her shuffling and whispering in the other room. He wanted to investigate, but he stayed put, instead taking in his home.
It was the same as he'd left it. The couch was there, the big red throw blanket over it as usual. What caught his attention was a smaller baby blue blanket hanging over the couch's armrest. His eyes travelled further, seeing another smaller blanket on the ground, though that one was red.
There was a baby bottle on the small table in front of the couch. Pacifiers right next to it. A few small pieces of clothing were folded on the armchair, the clothing dryer still open near the fireplace, a few pairs of small socks still hung on it.
''Y/n?'' Tartaglia called as he took in the sudden changes around the house. His heartbeat was accelerating, and the warm room suddenly felt too hot.
Footsteps made him turn back to where Y/n had left from, only to see her back. This time, she wasn't alone. A small bundle was in her arms, a little hand peaking from under.
Tartaglia wasn't sure if he was dreaming. Maybe he was going to wake up back in his small, lonely apartment in Liyue.
''Y/n, what━''
''Ajax.'' Y/n stopped in front of him, allowing Tartaglia to peek down at the bundle. ''Meet Artem.''
The first thing he noticed were the baby's big, blue eyes, matching his own perfectly. Then it was the orange hair, just a shade darker than his. The baby stared up at him, his little hand curled into a fist. He took notice of the blanket, remembering his mother having used it for him and his siblings.
It felt like the world stopped for a second. Y/n was there, in their house, where baby items lay scattered all over, holding a baby that looked just like him, swaddled in his family's blanket. He blinked once, twice, but the scene didn't change. His eyes only grew wider.
''I found out I was pregnant about two months after you left.'' Y/n said as she looked down at the baby, holding onto its tiny fist. ''I wrote to you about it, asking you what to do and when you would be back. I didn't get the answer, so I'm guessing that's when the letters stopped coming for you. I told your family, so they tried to contact you as well, but to no avail. They've been helping me so much and I'm so thankful for that. I wouldn't have managed without them, really.''
Tartaglia still stood stunned in front of her, his eyes stuck on the baby. Artem yawned, nuzzling his head in the blanket as his eyes closed, the blue disappearing.
''I don't know how you feel about this, but I don't . . . blame you if you don't want any part of it. I know it's a big change, and I understand how shocking it must be coming home to a whole child. If you need some time to think, that's perfectly fine.''
Tartaglia blinked. At her odd words, he finally managed to look at her, their eyes meeting. ''I'm a . . . dad?''
Y/n took a deep breath. There was no smile on her face, though she wasn't frowning, either. Tartaglia couldn't read her. ''Yes, Ajax. You are.''
His mouth dried up. Tartaglia couldn't describe what he was feeling at the moment, for he has never felt like this in his life. His chest was thight, his heart beating so quick he thought it would breath through his ribcage. He opened his mouth, though no sound came out.
What was happening? His child, the one he'd found out about mere moments ago, was right there, right in front of him, cradled in the arms of the love of his life. Why was he stuck? Why couldn't he speak, move, react in any way? Why was this harder than facing a thousand enemies? Than facing the otherworldly Traveler?
He licked his drying lips and took a breath, gathering all the will-power he had, fighting through his body's state of shock. ''Can I hold him?''
The corner of her mouth lifted up. ''Of course.''
Tartaglia opened his arms, watching as Y/n placed the delacate baby in his arms. He was terrified he would drop him, so he tightened his arms, though not around the baby. He moved his arms as his mother had taught him back when his siblings were younger, keeping the head supported. The baby didn't stir, and Tartaglia watched as his small chest lifted the blanket with every breath he took.
Holy fucking shit.
Tartaglia was a ruthless man, the Eleventh Harbinger, one of the Tsaritsa's strongest. That meant he couldn't cry, not in a high position such as his. Regardless, in the safety of his own home, with the two most important people in his life, he couldn't stop as a tear rolled down his cheek, falling down on the baby's blanket.
''I'm sorry,'' he whispered as he turned to Y/n, to the one most dear to him, putting a hand on her cheek as his other one firmly held his child. ''I'm sorry, I didn't know, if I'd known I would've been back in an instant, I would've━''
''Ajax.'' Y/n shushed him, that gentle smile he fell in love with on her face. Oh, how he'd missed it. ''I know. There's nothing to apologize for.''
Y/n moved to stand next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. Tartaglia felt her hand rubbing his back, and he couldn't help the second tear that escaped his eye at the sudden warmth that was surrounding him, one he'd lacked even in Liyue, despite how much different the climate was.

Family- Sebastian x Farmer
Sebastian took a long drag from his cigarette, lungs squeezing in the icy winter air. If it had been summer, his pants would be rolled up to his knees and he'd be dangling his legs into the refreshing lake. You would be beside him, a grin on your face and your own legs swinging back and forth, creating infinite ripples that drifted off from sight. Yet, he was only leaning against a tree, the wood damp through his jacket but he didn't mind enough to move.
It wasn't the thought of a nightly smoke that carried his legs outside every night, even if he couldn't deny that the nicotine sent a pleasant buzz through his system. At first it had been a rebellion, and now it was a habit. He let out a small chuckle and then ground the infernal thing beneath his foot. The second you popped into his head, the taste of tobacco turned sour in his mouth. You already scolded him enough, lips pressed into a pout and brow furrowed. Robin was only half pleased at the realization as she'd been begging him for years to quit.
Sebastian loved his mother, he'd never tell her but she was a tether that never disappeared when he felt like he was drifting. Nasty things often came out of his mouth instead, but he thought his mother might know. It was some miracle that you inspired more changes in him. God knows his step dad didn't exactly make him want to do his very best. Demetrius was....complicated. Sebastian didn't hate the man but he wasn't comfortable the way a son and father should be. They weren't Kent and Sam. They weren't much, if he was being honest.
He loved his mother so he was fine with Demetrius. Didn't mind Maru but didn't know how to connect with her either. Was it wrong that he wasn't sure if he loved them? Years had passed and they were fixtures of his life. He hadn't truly appreciated Maru when she was young, hadn't tried to grow up with her. It was probably a shame too that he didn't think to feel guilty until you had shown up and befriended the both of them.
Sebastian wanted this holiday to be different, wanted to make the effort. He knew it would be a stunted and awkward thing, but looking at the crushed cigarette at his feet he thought that maybe it wasn't so bad to try.
"Don't think too hard, the smoke will come out your ears instead of your mouth,"
You stood just some odd feet back, a playful quirk to your lips. You were late to visit, but you knew he'd be here. The only surprise of the night was that Sebastian didn't have a cigarette between his fingers or lips. A roll of his eyes made you smile wider as the snow crunched beneath your feet.
You rubbed your chilled hands together and Sebastian immediately grabbed for them, stuffing them into his jacket pockets and twining your fingers together. As soon as his wall had come down he had become unbelievably affectionate and it left your head swimming. Tilting your chin up expectantly, you were not disappointed by the brush of his lips against yours.
"Thought you'd be here sooner," Another kiss, pressed to the crown of your head.
"Thought I'd catch more fish if I held out an extra hour on the docks," A casual shrug that was not devoid of sore muscles. "We'll get to sleep in before the feast of the winter star,"
Sebastian's stomach tumbled pleasantly at the invitation to the farm. A few nights a week he'd find himself pressed against your back, the dog at the end of the bed and the cat somewhere near the fireplace. You were nearing a year together and he had to tamper down the desire to marry you already. The farm was just as much home as you were at this point. Until then, he'd cherish time with his mom and, as the nagging in his mind wouldn't let him forget, try more with Demetrius and Maru.
"I thought you were going home?" It took a moment for him to realize what you had said and the smile split his face. Before you, Sam had been the only person who could really get him to smile like that but even then it was different, reserved in its own way.
"Well, I couldn't leave you all alone, could I?"
You knew how he felt about his family, knew that sometimes he struggled to feel like he fit in anymore. Robin had built a life with Demetrius and had a successful and bright daughter. His own doubts crept in and he knew Demetrius didn't quite see him as a son. You even knew how he hoped to change that. You just couldn't let him face it alone.
Removing your hands from his pockets, Sebastian opted to pull you against him, arms wrapped tight around your waist. Your earmuffs tickled against his cheek as you burrowed deeper into his warmth.
"Next year, I'll go with you. This year, there are some things I need to do,"
The ease at which he offered to spend time with your family made you dizzy as you dragged him into a kiss.
"Maybe some day all of us can gather at the farm. A big family gathering,"
It was tentative, whispered against his lips as if you were crossing a line in taking his sentence about a year in the future into one that represented a much longer future together.
A simple "I'd love that" put your fears to rest.
Sebastian would never be without family as long as he had you.
