Hiya! Could I perhaps get the boys reacting to their gf just peppering their faces with kisses? (Bonus points if they're COVERED in cutesy lipstick marks after that–DOUBLE BONUS POINTS if a fan catches a pic of them like that somehow (when asked why their s/o didn't say anything she just shrugs; they look cute that way what do you want from her!))
Love your stuff as always! -💙
Thank you for the request! This was an absolutely adorable idea. Here you go!💌
🌙Saja Boys x Reader — Marked by You
---------------------
🧿 Jinu
You’d barely had your second sip of morning iced coffee when you crawled into Jinu’s lap, balancing carefully as he tried to finish his planner notes.
“Wait, wait—!” he mumbled, but it was too late. You dotted a kiss to his nose, then his cheekbone, then his other cheek, then his jaw. You chased the corners of his lips with pecks, giggling the whole time as your lipstick left a soft trail of bubblegum-pink across his skin like a heart-shaped crime scene.
“You're not gonna warn me?” he said in disbelief, blinking up at you with a pen still in hand and his glasses sliding down his nose.
“You look cute this way,” you shrugged, patting his face. “It's fashion. You're trending.”
He looked like he wanted to argue—he really did—but you could see the way his ears turned red. He ended up letting out a long, helpless sigh and resting his head back on your shoulder.
Later, when he walked out to grab takeout from the front desk, he passed a group of teens who froze mid-conversation.
“Oh my god,” one whispered. “That’s Jinu. He’s—he’s COVERED in kisses.”
The fancam had nearly a million likes by morning. Jinu's only comment on it?
“This is defamation.” (Sent from your account.)
---------------------
💪 Abby
Abby had just finished his workout. He looked flushed, golden, sweaty — basically, a walking thirst trap.
So of course you ambushed him on the floor mat with open arms and a glittery tube of red lipstick.
“Babe?” he asked cautiously, muscles still flexing under the tank top. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
You tackled him like a koala, straddled his waist, and smooched the life out of him.
Each kiss landed with a dramatic mwah. Abby laughed the whole time, limbs limp as he tried not to roll you both across the mat. But when you finally let him go and he looked at himself in the mirror—
“Wait. Why do I look like Valentine’s Day?”
“Because you are,” you said sweetly, snapping a picture.
Unfortunately, one of the gym trainers walked in right then and absolutely lost it. They posted it to their story with “our fave romantic wrestler got jumped” as the caption. Abby found out during dinner.
He just looked at you with a long, betrayed expression… then shrugged.
“Okay, but I do look good.”
---------------------
📚 Mystery
Mystery was halfway through reading when you silently straddled his lap and kissed his forehead.
Then his temple.
Then his nose.
He didn’t say a word. Not even when you kissed his chin. Not when you smooched his jaw. He just tilted his head slightly, letting you angle him like a sculpture.
“I’m decorating,” you explained, lips tinted with plum gloss. “You’re my canvas.”
“I see,” he replied evenly.
You smushed a final kiss to his cheekbone and sighed in satisfaction.
Only then did he speak again—voice low and unreadable.
“…You forgot one spot.”
You blinked, about to ask what he meant, when he tilted his head and tapped his neck, just below the ear.
Oh. Oh.
He didn’t move for you. He just waited, eyes barely half-lidded, until you leaned in again. You left a dramatic lipstick stamp right where he pointed.
Twenty minutes later, a fan who’d been standing behind Mystery in line at the bookstore posted a blurry shot captioned:
“not me behind this man who just finished a romance novel and has kiss marks all over his throat???”
---------------------
💋 Romance
Romance had just finished doing his hair. That was his first mistake.
His second mistake was standing near the vanity where you were testing a brand new lipstick — hot coral pink, glossy finish.
“Ooooh,” you whispered, eyes lighting up. “Hold still.”
“I literally just did my hair—”
Too late. You attacked.
Romance yelped as you cornered him into the mirror, covering every inch of his face in affection. You kissed his cheekbones, his forehead, his chin, his eyelids. You kissed the little mole near his ear, kissed the tip of his nose. He protested in dramatics, but never pushed you away.
When you finally stepped back to admire your masterpiece, he was glowing.
He stared at his reflection in horror.
“I look like a crime of passion.”
“You look adorable.”
“NO,” he said, snatching his phone and immediately opening the camera. “NO, wait—actually…”
He posted a full selfie to his story with a filter that added sparkles.
“Say hello to KISSCORE.™️”
One fan reposted it with the caption:
“this is not an idol this is someone’s boyfriend having the time of his life.”
And honestly? They were right.
---------------------
🔥 Baby
Baby was still rubbing his eyes when you pounced on him that morning.
You'd been waiting. Waiting until he was just barely awake, soft with sleep and warm under the oversized hoodie he stole from your side of the closet. He was a blank canvas.
You didn’t go easy.
Baby made a sound of protest and tried to roll away, but you climbed on top of him and showered his face in smooches.
“Babe—what—why do you taste like strawberry—”
You shushed him with another kiss. By the time you were done, his entire face was a collage of glossy kiss marks. His eyes narrowed at your smug expression.
“You didn’t even TRY to warn me.”
“I tried. You were asleep.”
He glared. But the glare softened quickly, because your grin was all teeth and affection, and he could feel the sticky gloss prints all over his cheeks, jaw, and neck.
Unfortunately for him, the fan photo was taken exactly twenty minutes later, when you stopped by a bakery and he turned to thank the cashier.
The post?
“He said ‘thank you!’ with like 13 lipstick marks on his face. No one survives this relationship.”
And he didn’t.

Two Can Play (but three's more fun)


𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 / 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 / 𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐱
𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: steve harrington x fem!reader x eddie munson 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 5.2k 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: when Steve catches Eddie staring a little too long at his girlfriend, he doesn’t throw a punch—he extends an invitation. And as Eddie quickly learns, Steve doesn’t just share; he teaches, with slow, filthy demonstrations. 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: smut, just pure filth really, posessive steve, desperate eddie, a lot of swearing, I couldn't help it, maybe some repetitive words but smut vocabulary just has it's limits
𝐚/𝐧: I got insanely stoned and wrote this so if it came out too horny i'm sorry, also im ovulating oops. I've prolly been very inconsistent with grammar tenses but I can't be bothered to check it. I usually correct my grammar after i've already posted so the masterlist link has significantly less errors than earlier versions
The living room was bathed in the flickering glow of the TV, some forgotten horror movie playing on low volume—The Thing, maybe, or was it Halloween?—its eerie soundtrack warping under the weight of the thick, sweet-smelling haze curling through the air.
Eddie had outdone himself with this new strain, something sticky and potent that left his limbs heavy and his usual sharp edges dulled into something languid and warm, his thoughts perhaps a bit too syrupy.
“—I know I talk a big game, man, but fuck. I have no clue what I’m doing when it actually comes down to it.”
His voice was a low mumble, words slipping out like he hadn’t meant to say them at all. He tipped his head back against the couch cushions, staring at the ceiling as if it might hold answers.
Steve blinks at him, slow and rhythmically, before snorting. “What, like… at all?”
“Yeah, man. Like—” Eddie waves a hand vaguely, the silver of his rings glinting as he moves. “How the fuck am I supposed to know what sounds are real and which ones are fake? It’s fucking Russian roulette.”
The next reaction from Steve is immediate, no hesitation. Just a lazy, knowing smirk as he stretches his arms behind his head. “Huh. Well, once you know the difference, it becomes pretty obvious.” He pauses, just long enough to take a quick glance over Eddie’s face. “If you really need some pointers, I can ask my girlfriend if she wants to help you out.”
Eddie nearly comes crashing to the fucking floor.
Because fuck. He’s had a crush on you for, like, forever. Not that he’s ever admitted it out loud — not when Steve Harrington has a reputation for rearranging the faces of guys who so much as look at you wrong. Eddie has seen it happen: some poor asshole at a party, fingers skimming your ass as you passed, and bam — Steve’s fist in his jaw before anyone could blink. There’s even a rumour some other idiot once stared just a little too long at the way your lips wrapped around the neck of your beer bottle and then slurred, “Wanna spin the bottle?” Word is, Steve dropped him in one hit. No warning. No theatrics. Just pure, primal instinct.
So yeah, Eddie’s kept his mouth shut.
But now? Now Steve is watching him with this lazy, half-lidded expression, like he hadn’t just detonated a goddamn bomb in Eddie’s head.
“You’re fucking with me.” Eddie pleads, his voice rough.
Steve just grins — slow, deliberate — his eyes dark with something Eddie can't name. “Nah, man. She’s actually really into that kinda stuff.” His voice drops, gravel scraping over each word, and Eddie’s stomach flips “And I’d do anything for her.”
The air feels thick as Eddie’s pulse roars in his ears, his throat suddenly bone-dry. Was this a test? A trap? Christ. Harrington was going to be the death of him, and worse—Eddie knew he’d fucking thank him for it.
His fingers twitch at his sides. “...Yeah?”
Steve’s smile only widens, but his eyes soften. “Yeah.”
When Eddie shows up at your place the next night, he’s strung tight enough to power Hawkins twice over, his pulse hammering in his throat. He’s spent the last twenty-four hours convincing himself he’d imagined the whole conversation, that there was no way Steve Harrington just offered—
And then you open the door.
Dressed in nothing but one of Steve’s old band tees, the fabric riding high on your thighs, you greet him with a smile that damn near stops his heart. “Hey, Eddie.”
His mouth goes dry. And before he can choke out a response, Steve is behind you, hands sliding possessively around your waist, pulling you back against his chest. And then — Jesus Christ.
The kiss Steve gives you isn’t just heated — it’s filthy. All tongue and teeth, your fingers twisting in his hair as he backs you against the doorframe, his hands already under your shirt like it’s a regular Tuesday afternoon.
Eddie’s knees nearly give out.
“Watch,” Steve murmurs against your lips when he finally breaks away, his gaze flicking to Eddie over your shoulder. His voice dark and commanding. “And pay attention.”
Then, right there in the doorway, Steve pulls the shirt over your head — meticulously slow, like he wants Eddie to memorise every second. And, well — Eddie does.
He memorises the way your breath hitches when Steve’s fingers brush over your ribs, the way you arch into his touch, the soft, real sounds spilling from your lips as Steve’s mouth finds the top of your breasts—
Eddie’s throat protests as he swallows, fingers twitching at his sides like he can’t decide whether to bolt or drop to his knees.
Steve notices —of course he does— and his lips curl into something dangerously close to a challenge. “You just going to stand there, Munson?” His hands slide down your hips, squeezing just hard enough to make you softly gasp. “Thought you wanted to learn.” Eddie manages to get control over his brain just long enough to answer “I— Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. I do.”
Steve hums, pleased, and spins you around to face Eddie fully, his palm splayed possessively over your stomach. “Then get over here.”
It’s not a request.
Eddie moves like a man in a trance, close enough now to feel the heat of your skin, to catch the intoxicating scent of your perfume. His gaze darts between your face and Steve’s fingers tracing slow, deliberate circles over your collarbone.
“First lesson,” Steve murmurs, leaning in to nip at your earlobe. “Don’t just touch. Listen.” His free hand reaches out, grabbing Eddie’s wrist and dragging it toward you. “Feel how she reacts.”
Eddie’s fingertips brush your waist—hesitant at first, then firmer when you shiver under his touch. His breath hitches as you lean into him, lashes fluttering when his thumb grazes the delicate curve of your ribs.
“Good.” Steve’s voice is low, eyes locked on Eddie’s every twitch. “Now kiss her.”
Eddie’s head jerks up. “What?”
Steve’s grin is all teeth. “Unless you don’t—”
“No, I—fuck.” He surges forward, crashing his mouth against yours like a man starved. It’s messy and desperate, and he barely gets a taste before Steve yanks you back by the waist, eyebrows furrowed in disapproval.
“Jesus Christ. Not like that.”
Eddie stumbles after you as Steve kicks the door shut behind them. “It’s like you were raised by wolves.”
Eddie opens his mouth to protest—then snaps it shut. Because Steve’s right. He’s a wreck.
“What are you waiting for, a written invitation?” Steve’s voice is rough with impatience. “Kiss her again.”
Eddie hesitates—just for a second—before lust wins the war. This time, when his lips find yours, it’s still hungry, but it’s also aware, his movements more controlled. For a heartbeat, he’s terrified Steve will deem him unworthy of you altogether and kick him back to the curb—until you moan into it, until your fists twist in his shirt and drag him closer.
Steve groans in approval against your shoulder. “That’s it,” he rasps, pressing you forward just enough that Eddie can feel your heartbeat against his chest. “Now slow down. Make her want it.”
Eddie whimpers, but obeys, pulling back just enough to tease your lower lip between his teeth before licking into your mouth like you’re water and he’s been dying of thirst.
The sound you make — the soft, wanting whine—it's the hottest thing he’s ever heard. Steve pulls you back again, but this time, there’s satisfaction in his grin. “See?” His thumb swipes over your kiss-swollen lips, smug. “She likes it when you take your time.”
Steve doesn’t let go of you—not really. Even as he nudges you toward the couch, his palm stays glued to the small of your back, steering you like he owns every inch of space you move through. Eddie doesn’t need to be told to follow; his pulse hammers in his throat, fingers flexing like he’s already imagining the weight of you beneath them.
“Sit.” Steve’s order cracks through the air, and Eddie drops onto an armchair like his strings have been cut.
You don’t get the chance to join him. Steve catches your wrist, yanking you back against his chest instead. His mouth brushes your ear, voice a low, possessive hum: “Nah, sweetheart. You’re staying right here.” His fingers trail down your arm before guiding your hand to Eddie’s jaw. “Let him earn it.”
Eddie’s breath stutters. Christ. Up close, you’re devastating. The way your eyes shimmer with pure lust, the way your lips part—just slightly—when Steve’s fingers skim over the lace of your bra. The syrupy moan you let out when he pinches your nipple over it, just enough to make your back arch—
“See that?” Steve’s voice is rough against your ear. “She gets loud when she’s turned on. You just have to know how to listen.” Eddie nods, swallowing hard. His hands hover over your hips like he’s afraid you’ll dissolve under his touch. Steve rolls his eyes.
“Jesus, Munson. You’re not going to break her.” He grabs Eddie’s wrist, pressing his palm flat against your stomach. “Feel how warm she is? How fucking desperate?”
Eddie’s fingers twitch. He can feel it—the rapid rise and fall of your breath, the way your skin burns under his touch.
“Now”, Steve murmurs, lips grazing your shoulder, “show me what you’ve learned.”
Eddie doesn’t need to be told twice.
This time, when he kisses you, it’s relaxed—calculated. He licks into your mouth like he’s savouring it, one hand sliding up your ribs while the other tangles in your hair. And when you moan, when your hips jerk forward like you just can’t help it, Eddie groans against your lips like he’s just discovered fucking religion.
Steve watches, eyes dark with approval. “Better,” he rasps. Then, with a smirk: “Now get on your knees.”
Eddie freezes, and Steve arches a brow,“got a problem?”
“No—fuck, no.” Eddie’s already sliding to the floor, knees hitting the carpet with a thud. His hands find your thighs, gripping just tight enough to feel the muscle tense under his fingers.
Steve’s smirk widens. “Good.”
The praise goes straight to Eddie’s dick.
You thread your fingers through his hair, tugging just enough to make him gasp—and God, Eddie’s never been so hard in his life.
Steve’s voice is a murmur as he trails a path down your throat, bruises already blooming under his mouth. “Now, make her beg.”
Eddie’s breathing is ragged as he looks up at you—fuck, the way your pupils are blown wide, the way your chest rises with every shaky inhale. Steve’s fingers are still tangled in your hair, his thumb brushing a stray strand behind your ear with a tenderness that feels domestic. Your eyes meet Eddie’s just before they flutter shut, and it’s all the permission he needs. His mouth finds the inside of your knee first, lips dragging slow and hot up your skin, teeth grazing just enough to make you squirm. Steve hums, tracing your ribs and sliding your bra strap down your shoulder. His palm cups your breast as it spills free, kneading with a lazy possessiveness that has your hips jerking forward — but Eddie holds you steady, determined.
His tongue traces past the waistband of your panties like he’s trying to memorise the shape of you, and when his eyes flick up to Steve, all he finds is lust, raw and unfiltered. So Eddie hooks his fingers into the fabric and pulls, dragging it down your legs as he kisses a trail after it, reverent even in his hunger. His fingers work you with surprising precision, his gaze desperate for approval — and when he curls them just right, you gasp, arching into his touch with a moan loud enough to make Steve’s smirk falter. He wasn’t expecting that.
The slip in Steve’s control sends a thrill through Eddie, and he murmurs against your thigh, voice rough: “You sound so fucking sweet — bet you taste even better.” Steve’s grip tightens on your hip, hard enough to bruise, but you don’t seem to mind.
He’d meant to teach. Now, he’s learning.
And the way you’re unravelling under Eddie’s touch stirs something awake inside of him. Eddie’s got a musician’s dexterity, his fingers able to coax sinful melodies from you with every twist. When you whimper Eddie’s name, Steve’s jaw clenches, but he doesn’t stop him. Just watches with a gaze darker than the midnight sky itself as Eddie’s breath ghosts over you, your thighs trembling. “Please—”
The word barely leaves your lips before Eddie adds another finger, crooking them until your thighs squeeze around his wrist. He groans against your skin, resting his forehead against your leg as the vibration tears another broken sound from your throat. He fucks you with his fingers — slow and deep, then fast and relentless, like he can’t decide whether to savour you or ruin you.
Eddie, drunk on your praise, dares to glance up at Steve with a smirk. Steve’s nostrils flare, but instead of shutting him down, he drags a thumb over your cheek and growls, “You gonna cum for him?” You can’t even answer. Your back arches, toes curling, and Eddie drinks it in like it’s the only thing keeping him alive. The moment you shatter, he loses it. He’s not sure what destroys him more — the way you choke out his name, begging him not to stop, or the filthy, approving rumble of Steve’s voice as he speaks, “Good girl.”
Eddie finds himself at an impasse, torn between begging for more and staying silent as the two of you decide his fate. His fingers twitch where they grip your thighs, his breath ragged, his entire body coiled tight with anticipation—and fear. Steve detaches himself from nipping at your collarbone when Eddie wavers, his movements faltering. A reprimand flashes in Steve’s darkened gaze, sharp enough to make Eddie shudder again. “Didn’t you hear her, Munson?” Steve’s voice is a low, warning growl. “She told you not to stop.”
But Eddie freezes. The reality of where he is—what he’s doing—hits him like a freight train. He has no idea how to continue.
But Steve doesn’t tolerate hesitation. His hand fists in Eddie’s hair, yanking him forward with a rough, “Stop thinking.”
Eddie obeys like a man possessed, and the moment his tongue drags over you, his whole body jerks—holy shit. You taste even better than he could’ve dared to dream. Sweet, addictive, and the way you gasp when he flicks his tongue over your clit? He’s ruined. Forever.
Drunk on you—on the way your fingers tighten in his hair, the way you’re so wet it’s coating your thighs—he laps at you like his life depends on it. Steve watches with drowsy satisfaction, his palm sliding possessively up your stomach to cup your breast, thumb rolling over your nipple just to hear you whimper for him again.
“Listen to how she sounds when you do it right,” Steve murmurs, voice thick with contentment. “Isn’t it the most beautiful sound in the world?” He doesn’t wait for Eddie to answer. Instead, he tilts your jaw toward him, locking you in a searing kiss. You moan into Steve’s mouth as Eddie continues, his tongue relentless, his own desperate noises vibrating against you. Steve chuckles darkly when Eddie whimpers, his cock straining against his jeans just from tasting you. He hasn’t even touched himself, but he’s so close he’s shaking.
“Are you going to come just from this, Munson?” Steve drags him off you by his hair, grinning at the dazed, wrecked look on Eddie’s face. “Fuck, look at him, darling. He’s a mess.” Eddie’s lips are slick, his chest heaving, his pupils blown so wide his eyes look black. Steve doesn’t give him a chance to recover. He pushes Eddie back into the armchair, his grip firm, dominant. Then he guides you onto the couch with a smirk.
“You did good,” he tells Eddie, voice dripping with condescension. “Now let me show you great.”
Steve doesn’t waste time. In one smooth motion, he hooks his hands under your knees, spreading you wide —putting you on display— before dragging you to the edge of the couch. His gaze locks onto Eddie’s, making sure he’s watching as he leans down and presses an open-mouthed kiss to your inner thigh, a shudder running through you at the sensation. “See how she shivers?” Steve murmurs, his breath hot against your skin, laced with something Eddie can only describe as devotion. “It’s because she knows what’s coming—” Then he devours you.
Unlike Eddie’s frantic, eager strokes, Steve’s tongue moves with precision — deliberate, decisive licks that have you arching off the couch within seconds. He teases you, circling your clit until you’re gasping, then he pulls back with a cruel smirk.
“Steve—” you whine, fingers scrambling at his hair. “Patience, sweetheart,” he muses — before sucking your clit between his lips, hard. Your cry echoes through the room, and Eddie’s hands clench into fists, his hips jerking helplessly as you overwhelm his senses without even touching him. Steve doesn’t let up; he works you with his mouth until your thighs tremble, until your moans grow longer and heavy, until you’re right there—, and he pulls away.
“No, no, baby, please—” you beg, but Steve just clicks his tongue, amused, sliding two fingers into you without warning. “Look at her, Munson,” he orders, curling his fingers just right, making you sob beneath him. “This is how you give her what she deserves.” His thrusts are ruthless, his palm grinding against your clit with every movement. You’re a writhing, whimpering mess, your nails digging into Steve’s shoulders as he fucks you on his fingers, his eyes locked onto Eddie’s the entire time.
“She’s close,” Steve taunts — he doesn’t even need to look at you to know, too busy watching the way Eddie’s jaw clenches. “You want to see what happens when she comes on my hand?” Eddie can’t even speak. He just nods, frantic. Steve smiles wickedly and makes do with the response. “Then watch closely.”
He crooks his fingers again, pressing deeper, and you don’t just shatter — you explode. Your back bows like you’re possessed, broken screams tearing from your throat as you squirt, and Eddie swears he’s seeing stars. Your hand finds Steve’s bicep, clinging desperately, like you’re afraid he’ll stop. Eddie can’t look away; he doesn’t dare blink — if he misses a single second of this, he’ll never forgive himself.
Steve works you through it, drawing out every last spasm until tears streak your face, until you’re oversensitive, trying to squirm away. Only then does he finally relent, licking his fingers with a satisfied hum before brushing featherlight kisses up to your neck. The moment you feel his proximity, you meet him in a kiss — not heated like before, but purposeful, delicate, like Steve is guiding you back to reality with it. He doesn’t rush you; he just lets your fingers weave through his hair until your breathing steadies. Then, he speaks again. “That”, he says, “is how it’s done.” He meets Eddie’s stunned gaze. “You shouldn’t even be thinking about getting your dick wet until she’s clenching around nothing.”
Eddie’s so hard it hurts. His cock throbs against his jeans, neglected and aching, precum soaking the fabric. He’s never been this turned on in his life—and the worst part? Steve knows it. The bastard smirks, dragging a thumb over your lower lip. You suck it in eagerly, tongue swirling, before he pulls away and stands. It’s a fucking performance. Steve undoes his belt like he’s savouring the way Eddie’s eyes cling to his hands, the leather slipping free with a final, damning shush. You whimper, still boneless from your orgasm, but your eyes flutter open when Steve’s palm slides up your thigh, squeezing. “Please, Steve?” you breathe, and his grin turns feral. “Not yet, love.” He glances at Eddie, whose throat bobs under the weight of his stare. “Munson hasn’t earned it yet.”
Eddie’s stomach drops. Fuck. He’s dripping in his pants, his hips twitching like a fucking teenager, and Steve’s going to make him wait? But then—
Steve grips Eddie’s chin, forcing his gaze up. “You want her?” he asks, voice rough. Eddie nods, greedy. “Then prove you can take care of her.” And just like that, Steve shoves him onto the couch with you. “Do it like I showed you.”
For a heartbeat, Eddie can only stare—at the way your breath hitches when he touches you, at the way your eyes lock on Steve, who’s sprawled in the armchair like it’s a fucking throne, lazily stroking his cock. Your lips part, and Eddie swears he sees your mouth water—fuck, it’s obscene. His hands tremble as he touches you—really touches you—this time. His mouth finds your thigh, kissing up the sensitive skin, trying to mimic the way Steve had worshipped you earlier. But when his tongue drags over you, your breath catches—wrong—and Steve’s low chuckle cuts through the room like a knife.
“Christ, Munson,” Steve sighs, his grip tightening around his cock. “You’re thinking too hard.”
Eddie grits his teeth. He is. He’s thinking about the way Steve had made you scream, the way your back arched off the couch like you were trying to fuse into him. He’s thinking about the fact that Steve’s watching, lazily stroking himself while Eddie fumbles like a virgin.
And the nail in the coffin? You’re watching Steve too. Your teeth sink into your lower lip, eyes heavy with desire—but not for Eddie.
“Fuck,” Eddie rasps, pulling back. His voice is wrecked.“I can’t—I don’t—” Steve leans forward, fingertips ghosting over your throat as you keen toward him. “You can,” he growls. “Stop trying to perform. Just feel her.”
Eddie’s breath comes in sharp bursts. This time, when his mouth finds your cunt, he doesn’t think. He listens. To the way your breath catches when he licks a slow, experimental stripe. To the way your hips jerk when he sucks just there. And when your fingers fist in his hair—finally—it’s not to guide him, but to hold on.
“There,” Steve murmurs, voice thick with approval. “Now you’re getting it.” Eddie moans against you, the vibration pulling a whimper from your throat. Fuck. He’s dizzy with it—the taste of you, the sounds you’re making, the way Steve’s gaze burns into him like a brand.
But then Steve stands. Eddie barely has time to register the loss before Steve’s dragging him up by the collar, spinning him around to face you—really face you. Your lips are swollen, your chest heaving, your thighs slick with Steve’s work.
"Look at her," Steve growls, his voice a dark scrape against Eddie’s ear. "Don’t just glance—really look."
And Eddie looks. He sees the damp flush between your breasts, the way your hips lift like you’re already chasing it, the way your pupils blow wide when Steve’s thumb swipes over your bottom lip. "She’s not yours," Steve breathes, dragging his teeth over Eddie’s earlobe. "But fuck, look how bad she wants you to try."
Eddie’s pulse races. Then Steve steps back, gesturing like a king permitting a subject to kneel. "Go on. Make her forget my fucking name."
So he closes his eyes, trying to drown out the noise in his head, to sync himself with the thrum of your heartbeat beneath him, to dissolve into every breath you take. He wants to belong here, in this moment, where Steve’s approval hangs heavy in the air and your pleasure is the only thing that matters — success. A satisfied hum from Steve when Eddie finally finds the right rhythm, a broken moan from your lips. But your eyes — your eyes stay locked on Steve, even as Eddie’s mouth works you over. It’s still him you want. Hunger battles with pride in Eddie’s chest. He hates how badly he craves this—how much he needs Steve’s approval—but god, he longs to pull those sounds from you himself, to unravel you with nothing but his touch. And so he moves like a man possessed, single-minded in his mission to play you like an instrument, to pluck every string until you snap.
Your taste is intoxicating, something he’s already addicted to, something he’s not sure he can live without anymore. Your eyes scrunch shut as pleasure blooms, so lost in it that you don’t even notice Steve speeding up his strokes, his grip tight on his cock. Eddie gets close—so close he can practically taste your climax—but you linger on the edge, just out of reach. He’s aware he’s missing something, some final piece to send you over, but he can’t find it. Then your eyes flicker open again, searching for Steve’s gaze like it’s the only thing that can save you. And Eddie knows—he’s pushed his luck too far. Steve’s patience snaps—not with his pleasure, but with Eddie’s failure to give you yours. Next thing he knows, he’s being dragged back, the warmth of you ripped away too soon. Steve looms over him, a predator in human skin, annoyance rolling off him in waves. “If you want to get a chance to fuck her,” Steve growls, voice dripping with challenge, “you’re going to have to do better than that.”
Eddie’s brain becomes the mental equivalent of a dropped Wi-Fi signal—because did Steve just imply—?
Every touch, every taste Steve has allowed him, Eddie has devoured with insatiable hunger. But now it hits him—this is more than just a demonstration. Steve might actually let him fuck you. Or he would have. Now, Eddie isn’t sure he’ll ever get the opportunity again. A sharp, breathy cry from you yanks him from his thoughts. Steve has already turned you over, guiding you onto your hands and knees, one foot perched on the armrest behind you like a damn king claiming his treasure. Eddie is so close to your face now, your slick still glistening on his chin as you blink up at him, dazed. Steve teases your entrance with his cock, just enough to have you pushing back, begging for it. And for one glorious, heart-stopping moment—you look at Eddie.
Not at back at Steve.
At him.
Your gaze is pure, primal desperation—like he’s the one you need. Steve drives into you in one brutal thrust, and your eyes screw shut in ecstasy. You sob Steve’s name, but your eyes flicker back open as you you look at him.
“Baby, please—” And it dawns on him—you are begging Steve, but not for Steve. No, you’re begging for permission, your gaze locked onto Eddie like he’s the only thing anchoring you to earth. He doesn’t know what you’re asking for, but Christ, he already knows he wants it just as much.
Steve, of course, does understand. He drags his cock into you agonisingly slow, pressing tender kisses along your spine even as his voice comes out harsh. “You think he deserves it, honey?” You whine, desperate, but Steve doesn’t need more than that. He leans over you, his thrusts deliberate, sinful. “How could I ever say no to you?”
And fuck, Eddie gets it now—gets why Steve turns possessive, gets why you love it. He’s watching the two of you move like a single entity, Steve’s hips rolling into you with a precision that rewrites Eddie’s entire understanding of sex. And the real tragedy? He’s pretty sure you’re only getting started. Your fingers fist in Eddie’s collar, yanking him down hard. His breath stutters as your lips take him in, hot and needy, and he doesn’t think—just reacts, his hands tangling in your hair as Steve’s thrusts rock you forward, forcing Eddie deeper into your mouth. You moan around him, the vibrations nearly undoing him right there, but then your hand tugs at his belt loop like it’s personally offended you, and Eddie’s thoughts fry into static. What do you want? He glances at Steve for answers, but the bastard just laughs, driving into you harder like he’s savouring Eddie’s confusion.
And God help him, Eddie looks. It’s downright pornographic. Steve’s cock glistens as he pulls out, your body clinging to him like it never wants to let go, and every time he sinks back in, you clench, a broken noise tearing from your throat.
As Eddie freezes, you take matters into your own hands, undoing Eddie’s belt with ruthless efficiency. The zipper’s barely down before his jeans pool at his knees. He looks at Steve again—helpless—but Steve just shakes his head, smirking. “Jesus, Munson. Keep up.”
Your fingers brush the straining outline of his cock through his boxers, and his hips jerk. Your mouth finds the spot beneath his ear, teeth scraping, and—fuck—it nearly sends him over the edge right then. You’re not gentle. You know exactly what you want. In seconds, his dick is in your hand, your grip perfect, and the first stroke has him grinding his teeth so hard his jaw hurts. He wants to keep his eyes open—to watch, to devour every detail of every second—but his body betrays him. A shudder wracks through him, his lashes fluttering helplessly before his head falls back, lost to the crushing wave of ecstasy."
“Fuck—!”
Steve’s voice cuts through the haze, dark with amusement. “That’s it, sweetheart. Show him how good you can be.” His hand tangles in your hair—not guiding, just holding—like he wants Eddie to see he’s the one in control. That every gasp you make, every shudder Eddie can’t suppress, is because Steve orchestrated it.
“Bet he’s never felt anything like you.” Eddie’s thighs tremble, his cock twitching against your tongue. He’s close, too close, and Steve knows it—fuck, he’s enjoying it. “Look at him,” Steve murmurs, dragging his cock out of you just to slam back in, punching a moan from your lips. “Already shaking for you. Bet he wishes it was him inside instead.” His thumb swipes over your clit, and you whimper, your rhythm on Eddie faltering. “But he’s got to earn that, doesn’t he?”
Earn it? Eddie’s vision blurs at the edges. He’d shamelessly beg if it meant— Then your tongue swirls over the head of his cock, and he chokes, almost falling forward into you.
“Steady,” Steve warns, though his voice is anything but calm. “You cum before she does, and I’ll make you watch while I fuck her twice as hard.”
Eddie’s groan is nothing short of pure agony. Steve fucks you more slowly then—cruel, like he’s savouring Eddie’s torment—dragging his cock almost all the way out before sinking back in, his grip on your hair tightening just enough to make your eyes water. But your dedication doesn’t waver; if anything, it burns hotter. “Shit—” Eddie’s hips jerk involuntarily, but you swallow him deeper, humming around the salt-bitter heat of him. His fingers scramble at the cushions, knuckles white. “Jesus, sweetheart, where the hell did you learn—?”
Steve’s laugh is a dark, knowing thing against your neck. His hands slide up your thighs, spreading you wider as he presses inside, slow, letting you feel every fucking inch. “She’s full of surprises,” he murmurs, lips grazing your ear. “But you’re not going to last long enough to find out, are you?”
Eddie’s groan disintegrates, the way you swirl your tongue around him, the slick pressure of your throat—it’s nothing like the groupies who’d thrown themselves at Corroded Coffin. This is ruination. This is worship. Your mouth works him with practiced greed, and Eddie’s vision blurs.
“Fuck, I’m not—I can’t—”
“Yes. You can.” Steve’s voice doesn’t leave room for argument—this isn’t a suggestion; it’s a command. His hand moves from your scalp to your nipple, pinching just shy of pain until you whine around Eddie’s cock. His other hand slips between your legs, circling your clit with filthy precision. “You going to come for us, sweetheart?” he rasps. You nod frantically, lips stretched lewdly around Eddie. “Good. Let him see.” You break with a cry, muffled around Eddie’s cock, and Steve growls as your body clenches around him. “That’s it,” he grits out, hips snapping harder, “that’s my girl—” Eddie’s spellbound.
Steve fucks you through it, your tears smearing Eddie’s thighs. His breath comes in punched-out gasps, cock twitching against your tongue—
Steve loses control first. A guttural groan tears from his throat as he spills inside you, forehead dropping between your shoulder blades.
Eddie’s hips stutter when you whimper, oversensitive, as Steve grinds into you one last time—claiming you like he wants to brand the feeling into your skin. And then— “Fuck!” Eddie’s back arches, his cock jerking as you pull off with a slick pop, begging Steve for mercy. He comes untouched, frustration and relief searing through him as he gasps your name like a prayer. Steve laughs, low and satisfied. Eddie’s too wrecked to care, chest heaving—until Steve’s next words send him tumbling straight back into want.
“Let me know if you’ve got any requests for the next lesson.”

divider by @cafekitsune
The storm had passed, but neither of you moved.
The warehouse around you was still—the creaks of its old bones quieter now, softened by the hush of early morning pressing against its walls. Somewhere beyond the steel and brick, the world kept spinning. But in here, in this makeshift room, time had slowed.
Bucky hadn’t said much since.
Not out of shame, not even guilt. Just… stillness. Like everything inside him had finally gone quiet.
You didn’t know how long you lay there. You didn’t care.
His body was still pressed to yours, skin warm, breath slow, steady now. At some point, you shifted slightly, your head tucked against his shoulder, one of his arms snug around your waist. The other lay across your back, vibranium fingers resting gently at your spine like he was afraid to let go—even in sleep.
Or whatever this was.
You didn’t know if he was fully asleep. You weren’t sure if you were, either.
You just… existed. Together.
And it was enough.
The room was dark save for the weak amber glow of an old light strip still clinging to life in the hallway. The silence wasn’t awkward. It was earned. The kind of silence that came only after something had cracked open.
Every so often, you’d shift, and his arms would tighten around you instinctively. Protective. Grounded. Like he still needed to know you were real.
You ran your fingers gently along the nape of his neck, brushing through his hair, and whispered soft things you didn’t need him to remember—just things you needed him to feel.
“I’m still here,” you breathed.
And he exhaled, long and low, his face pressing into your shoulder.
You didn’t know where your body ended and his began.
All you knew was that you were wrapped in each other, and that for the first time in what must’ve been years… he slept without fear.
────────────────────────
The soft blue wash of morning light filtered through the cracked windows as you slowly began to dress.
Your limbs moved on instinct, your body still humming with the aftermath of last night—not just the sex, but everything that came with it. The breaking. The rebuilding. The silence that wasn’t empty anymore.
His gaze was heavy—not hungry like before, but quiet, almost forlorn. Like every inch you put between you and the mattress carved a little more out of him.
You paused to pull your jeans up over your hips and glanced at him, and he was still watching.
He sat on the edge of the mattress, jeans tugged back into place but still shirtless, elbows resting on his thighs, fingers laced. He watched you like you were already gone.
You paused, gave him a soft look. “Hey.”
His eyes flicked up.
“You okay?”
He didn’t answer right away.
Just gave the smallest nod. A lie, but not one you’d call out.
You pulled your shirt over your head, not bothering to fix the buttons just yet. Bucky finally moved, reaching slowly for his own shirt, tugging it down over his chest. He moved like someone whose body felt heavier today. You didn’t push. You let the silence wrap around the both of you again.
Then—voices.
Faint, at first. Outside.
You stood instinctively, moving toward the warehouse’s main entrance, brushing your fingers against Bucky’s shoulder as you passed—just a soft press. “Be right back.”
He looked like he wanted to say something.
But he didn’t.
────────────────────────
You stepped out into the chill, pulling your shirt tighter around your body, still half-buttoned from earlier. The wind carried the rustle of boots, the clink of gear, and quiet voices—tones you recognized even before you saw the faces.
Steve.
Sam.
And not just them.
Clint Barton stood to one side, squinting against the light like he hadn't slept. Wanda lingered near him, arms crossed, her posture at ease but eyes sharp as ever. And then there was a man you didn’t recognize—nervous, fidgeting, trying too hard not to.
“Oh, great,” you said, loud enough to carry. “I thought you were retired.”
Clint grinned. “I was. Then the world wouldn’t stop spinning without me.”
You snorted.
The stranger stepped forward next, hand extended. “Hi! Uh—Scott. Scott Lang. Ant-Man.”
You blinked. “Ant… what?”
“Ant-Man,” he said again, more sheepish this time. “It’s fine, you probably haven’t—uh, it’s complicated.”
You gave a small, puzzled smile, still reaching to shake his hand as you introduced himself.
Scott blinked, “Attorney like lawyer attorney.*
You smiled faintly. “Yeah.”
Scott gave an exaggerated sigh of relief. “Oh thank god. Do you… have a card or something? I have a feeling I’m gonna need legal help after this.”
Your eyebrows lifted, but you reached into your bag and handed him one anyway.
“I like you already,” he added, tucking it into his pocket with too much care.
“Try not to get arrested, then.”
He gave a nervous laugh. “No promises.”
Steve had been watching from a few steps away. Now he moved toward you, expression tight with everything he couldn’t say. He looked tired in a way you hadn’t seen before—like the kind of tired that lived behind his eyes.
“Thanks for looking after him,” he said quietly.
You nodded. “Of course.”
But he just stood there, gaze lingering, and suddenly he looked younger somehow—less like Captain America, and more like the boy from Brooklyn you’d first met years ago.
Without thinking, you stepped forward, arms wrapping around his middle. He held you tight, his chin resting briefly against your hair.
“You sure you’re okay?” you asked, voice muffled in his jacket.
“No,” he said simply. “But I’ve got to be.”
You pulled back slowly, pressed a quick kiss to his cheek.
“Be careful, Steve. Please.”
“I always try,” he said, too lightly. Then, more sincerely, “You should go back to New York. Before this gets worse.”
Behind you, Sam appeared with his usual dry grin, clapping you on the back.
Behind you, there was a pause.
Sam wrapped an arm around your shoulders, warm and easy. “Glad to see he didn't burn the place down.”
“Really missed your charming optimism, Sam,” you said dryly.
“I’m gonna pretend that’s not sarcasm.”
“You do that.”
And then you felt it.
Eyes.
You turned—
And there he was.
Bucky stood in the doorway, fully dressed, stiff in the shoulders like he was bracing for impact. His jaw was tight, his arms stiff at his sides, as if even existing around other people took work.
But it was his eyes that struck you.
Not blank. Not lost.
Just… guarded. And something else. Something small and aching curled behind them.
The light hit him in that strange, soft way—dust curling through it like a veil between you. Like last night had been a hallucination, and now he was slowly retreating back into whatever shadows he’d crawled out of.
You stepped toward him, slow, like approaching a wounded animal. For a breath, you thought he might back away.
But he didn’t.
You stopped just short of touching, voice quiet. “I guess this is it.”
He didn’t answer.
His eyes searched yours with something close to panic—not sharp, not loud. Just quiet, restrained apprehension. Like his body knew you were leaving before his mind caught up.
And then—you moved.
Without hesitation, you stepped in and wrapped your arms around his neck.
No preface. No invitation.
Just the steady press of your cheek against his shoulder, your heartbeat open against his chest.
He froze.
Just for a second.
And then—he folded around you.
One arm slid around your waist, the other lifting to the back of your neck, his palm splayed flat against your hair. He didn’t tremble. He didn’t pull back.
He held you.
Not loosely. Not politely.
Fully. Fiercely.
As if his body knew how to stay when his mind didn’t.
Sam made a low sound, almost a whistle. “Well… ain't that something.”
Steve stood a step back, face drawn tight, watching—his eyes didn’t narrow, but they didn’t blink either.
You pulled back slowly, just enough to look up at Bucky.
“You’ll be okay,” you whispered.
Still, no words.
But his arms stayed locked around your waist.
You shifted, tried to step back.
And that’s when he grabbed you.
His arms tightened—one quick, almost frantic pulse—and before you could guess what was happening, his hand came to your jaw and he kissed you.
Right there.
In front of everyone.
You let out a small, stunned sound against his mouth, hands flattening against his chest—caught between the instinct to pull him closer and the need to stop him.
The kiss wasn’t gentle.
It was desperate.
Like he was pouring every last thing he didn’t know how to say into you. Like if he could just press hard enough, stay close enough, it might change what came next.
Eventually, you had to break it.
You pulled back, breath caught in your throat, your cheeks burning.
He looked down at you, eyes heavy and sad, lips slightly parted like he’d already regretted it—but wouldn’t take it back.
You stared at him, then past him.
And couldn’t meet Steve’s eyes.
You just… turned.
And walked away.
Every step felt like your skin didn’t fit right anymore. Like something inside you was fraying.
Because Bucky’s need wasn’t about affection. It wasn’t even about you, not really.
It was survival.
And now it sat heavy in your chest—because whatever happened last night, however real it had felt in the dark, it was suddenly too complicated in the light.
And you couldn’t help but feel like you’d taken something he wasn’t ready to give.
────────────────────────
By the time you made it back to Hell’s Kitchen, the sun had long since dipped behind the rooftops, and the office was its usual brand of organized chaos—papers stacked on every surface, the smell of burnt coffee lingering in the air, and four overworked friends pretending they weren’t a little bit in love with the mess.
You were leaning against the edge of the desk, arms crossed, scanning the top page of a police report with your glasses pushed up on your head. Foggy was pacing near the window, chewing on the cap of a pen like it owed him money. Matt sat in his chair, fingers steepled, listening as Karen flipped through another file.
“He’s claiming excessive force,” Karen said, voice even but skeptical. “But the responding officer was a foot shorter and eighty pounds lighter.”
“So,” you said, arching a brow, “a minor traffic violation turns into a broken nose and four cracked ribs, and that’s the story we’re running with?”
Matt gave a tiny shake of his head. “There’s video. Grainy, but enough to show the officer wasn’t the aggressor.”
Foggy stopped pacing, waving the pen. “Which means we either settle or poke holes in the narrative until someone blinks.”
You leaned over to grab another file, muttering, “God forbid we ever have a client who tells the truth.”
Karen snorted. “What fun would that be?”
“See, that’s why she gets paid the big bucks,” Foggy said, raising his coffee in salute. “Our legal assassin.”
You opened your mouth to say something equally smart-assed, but Karen beat you to it.
“Well, she does have experience with super soldiers.”
Your pen froze mid-note.
The room stalled, just for a second. Like the punchline hadn't landed—or maybe had landed too well.
You didn’t look up right away. Just capped your pen slowly, deliberately.
Foggy blinked. “Wait—like Captain America super soldier?”
“No,” you said calmly, still not meeting anyone’s eye. “I did not sleep with Captain America.”
Then you did look up—right at Karen, who had the decency to look stricken. You tilted your head. “That was said in confidence. Over Chinese food. And wine.”
Karen winced. “I thought Matt knew!”
“I didn’t,” Matt said quietly, not judgmental exactly, but there was a shift in the air. A subtle tightening.
Karen rushed to explain. “I thought she told you about the Bucky Barnes.”
Foggy made a small choking noise. “Wait—so, hold on. The Winter Soldier? That guy with the metal arm and murder eyes? You slept with—?”
You raised a hand. “Foggy.”
He shut his mouth with a sheepish grin.
You turned back to Matt, who hadn’t said anything else. His jaw was tight, unreadable behind those glasses. You could feel his attention like a weight.
“Just because we grew up together doesn’t mean we tell each other everything,” you said lightly, but the air had cooled.
Karen looked like she wanted to crawl under the table. Foggy was half-shocked, half-impressed.
But Matt… he didn’t say a word.
Not at first.
When he did speak, it was quiet. “You told me you were going to Berlin for a few days,” he said. “You said it was personal.”
You didn’t blink. “It was.”
He tilted his head slightly, brows drawn. “You went to help Captain America.”
You sighed through your nose, pressing your fingers to the edge of the table. “I did help Steve.”
There was a beat.
Then, without warning, his voice cut sharper than you expected.
“And in what universe did you think sleeping with an international war criminal was a smart decision?”
The room froze.
Foggy blinked. Karen stopped mid-sip of her coffee. The air between the four of you shifted so fast it was like the ground tilted.
You set your pen down carefully. “Are you serious right now?”
“I’m dead serious,” Matt said, crossing his arms. “That wasn’t just reckless—it was stupid. He’s unstable. He’s dangerous. And you—what in your right mind would make you do that?”
You scoffed, leaning forward now. “Wow. Okay. Are you shaming me, Matthew?”
“I’m trying to understand what part of this sounded okay in your head,” he snapped, voice rising just a notch. “He's a man that has just come out of severe brainwashing and you—what, thought it was a good time to sleep with him?”
Karen flinched. Foggy stood, trying to wedge a word in.
“Matt—come on, man—”
But Matt wasn’t finished.
“I knew helping Rogers was already a stretch,” he continued, ignoring the interruption. “But this? You’re a lawyer. You’ve seen what men like Barnes do in your cases. You know what it looks like when someone isn’t capable of giving consent.”
That hit you in the chest like a blow.
You stood.
“You think I don’t know that?” you snapped, voice sharp now. “You think I haven’t been thinking about that every hour since I left him?”
Karen stepped between you, hands up. “Guys—hey, hey—”
But Matt didn’t back off. “Then what were you doing? What were you thinking?”
“I was thinking,” you said, trembling now—not from sadness, but indignation—“that I’d never seen someone look more afraid to be alive. I was thinking that he needed someone to treat him like a human being for once in his goddamn life.”
Foggy stood as well, voice low but firm. “This is not the time.”
But the air was already too thick with everything that had gone unsaid for years.
Matt shook his head slowly. “He’s not your responsibility.”
“No,” you said bitterly. “But neither were you at Saint Agnes. And that never stopped me.”
Silence.
Even the hum of the old radiator seemed to hush itself.
Then the TV flickered—static for a second—before the volume kicked in. The newsroom anchor’s voice, flat and grim, broke the silence that had followed your argument with Matt.
“…former Avengers Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson are confirmed to be in hiding following a classified prison break from the Raft—a maximum-security facility designed for enhanced individuals. The prison housed members of the rogue Avengers detained after the Leipzig airport incident in Germany.”
You stiffened.
The anchor continued as footage played—blurry helicopter shots of the ocean-bound Raft. Steel, water, storm.
“Security footage has not been released to the public, but officials confirm the breakout was staged by none other than Rogers himself. The former Captain America is now considered a fugitive by the United Nations, alongside Wilson and others believed to be aiding him.”
Karen lowered her coffee slowly, frowning.
“Sources also indicate that James Buchanan Barnes—known as the Winter Soldier—was not housed at the Raft, but is considered armed and internationally wanted. Barnes was last seen with Rogers in Siberia and is now suspected to have fled with him. Their current whereabouts remain unknown.”
The words blurred.
The room receded.
Because you weren’t hearing the anchor anymore—you were hearing Steve.
“I don’t think this’ll end well.”
You had heard the resignation in his voice when he’d said it—like he was already bracing for the fallout. Like he already knew.
And now it was here.
Karen’s voice was a soft whisper beside you. “Oh God.”
You let out a breath that wasn’t quite a laugh.
Matt didn’t say anything. His jaw was still tight, and you could feel his scrutiny like a second pulse under your skin.
But he wasn’t the one you were listening for anymore.
You gathered your files and walked toward the door, brushing past them all with a quiet, “Let me know if we're filing,” before stepping out into the hallway.
Karen looked at you like she wanted to say something—but didn’t. Foggy rubbed a hand over his face, sinking down into his chair with a pained groan. “Wow. That was… hilariously bad timing.”
And Matt… just sat there.
Arms crossed.
Jaw set.
Still convinced he was right.
And not feeling any better for it.
1 Year Later
Nelson & Murdock, Hell's Kitchen — Late Morning
The debate in the cramped office was escalating fast.
“You’re missing the point,” you said flatly, flipping the case file closed. “We’re not here to do what feels morally correct. We’re here to win.”
Matt’s head tilted, his brows knitting in that quiet, exasperated way of his. “It’s not about morality. It’s about precedent. If we push this—”
You cut in, calm but curt. “We let landlords in this city get away with enough. I’m not handing them another loophole.”
Karen raised her voice gently, trying to stem the friction. “Maybe we take five—”
You turned her way. “I’m not asking for much, just once—just once—to have one of you on my side.”
Karen put her hands up. “I’m not siding with anyone!”
“Right because you're always playing referee.“
“I’m not playing anything,” she replied, shoulders tensing.
You turned to Foggy, who had been suspiciously quiet.
“Don’t even try to claim neutrality. You always back him.”
“I do not—” Foggy began, already knowing he was beat.
You held up a finger. “You backed him on the parole hearing for that mob accountant who had bodies in three boroughs. You backed him when we took on the Russian construction union—without confirming who was financing them. Hell, you backed him on the Diaz brothers appeal and that guy confessed twice.”
Foggy winced. “That was one time.”
“Three,” you corrected, “It was three times, Foggy.“
The debate had just hit a simmer when the door creaked open.
Karen froze mid-sentence. Her eyes widened. “Oh my god.”
You turned, already sensing something was off—and then your breath caught.
Four figures stepped inside. No one said a word.
Steve Rogers. Natasha Romanoff. Sam Wilson. And James Buchanan Barnes.
All stood just inside the office. Not armored. Not armed. But carrying the weight of a hundred headlines and a year of silence.
Steve stood just inside the doorway, not in the uniform, but unmistakably Captain America. His jaw was a little tighter, with a beard now, but the way he held himself—calm, decisive, eyes scanning the room with practiced awareness—hadn’t changed.
Beside him, Sam Wilson, cool and watchful. Natasha Romanoff, all composed silence and lethal grace, and now… blonde. And then—
Bucky Barnes.
Long hair tucked behind his ears, jaw shadowed with a thick beard, dressed in black. His presence was quiet but sharp—like the air changed around him. His eyes, slate blue and piercing, found yours and held there. He didn’t blink.
You didn’t meet his gaze.
You shifted focus—to Steve.
Matt, from behind the desk, tilted his head. His senses picked up the weight in the air—the loaded silence, the tightened heartbeats, the shift in everyone’s posture.
Foggy, stunned, leaned toward Matt and muttered under his breath, “Uh—Cap, The Falcon, Black Widow, and the Winter Soldier just walked into our office.”
Matt didn’t even flinch. “I figured,” he said quietly. “That’s a lot of boots.”
Steve stepped forward, voice steady. “We need counsel.”
Natasha’s eyes flicked toward you. “And we're here for your help.”
You were still standing by the table, arms folded tightly. “That’s a long way to travel for a consultation.”
“We’re trying to re-enter the world,” Steve said. “We want to do it the right way.”
Karen finally found her voice. “I thought you were fugitives.”
“We are,” Sam said, with a small shrug. “Just figured maybe it was time to try something less dramatic.”
You looked at Matt—because it was still his firm.
Matt turned his face slightly toward the sound of Steve’s voice, his expression unreadable. “With all due respect… you’re not exactly the kind of clients we’re licensed—or funded—to represent. You’re under international surveillance, and we’re a neighborhood firm in Hell’s Kitchen.”
“We’re not asking for a full legal team,” Steve said. “We’re asking for her.”
Matt’s jaw ticked subtly.
His hands folded on the desk, his expression unreadable behind his dark lenses.
“Our jurisdiction doesn’t cover what you’ve been accused of,” he said, addressing Steve directly, though his words encompassed all four fugitives. “We handle housing evictions. Police misconduct. Petty criminal defense. What you’re asking for isn’t just risky—it’s out of our league.”
Bucky hadn’t said a word since stepping inside. But you could feel his gaze—hot, weighty, locked on you like gravity. You kept your expression neutral, your eyes on Matt.
“They’re not walking into any firm uptown,” you said, arms crossed. “And every second they stay on the run, they look guiltier. You know that.”
Matt nodded slowly—measured, cautious. “Then give us a minute.”
Steve gave a slight nod in return.
Without another word, Matt motioned toward the hallway. You, Foggy, and Karen followed him into his office, the door clicking shut behind you.
────────────────────────
The second the door closed, you rounded on Matt.
“This is the part where you tell me we’re turning down Captain goddamn America?”
Matt didn’t flinch. “This isn’t just about Steve.”
“No. It’s about people who tried to do the right thing and were burned by bureaucracy.”
Matt stepped closer, voice low, deliberate. “It’s about us being a three-person law firm in Hell’s Kitchen with no security, no resources, and no international immunity. Do you have any idea what taking this case means?”
“Yes,” you snapped. “It means we actually do something that matters.”
He lifted his chin slightly. “We’d be standing against the United Nations. Against General Thaddeus Ross. Against the Sokovia Accords.”
You leaned in. “Which, by the way, are unconstitutional. Half the legal scholars in the country are already saying it.”
“And half the world signed on,” Matt countered. “Which makes it binding. These aren’t small charges. This is global policy.”
Karen stepped between you both, her palms lifted. “Okay, let’s all take a breath—”
“Karen,” you said, exasperated. “We do not need referee again.”
Foggy raised his hand, hesitant. “Not to interrupt, but… guys, I don’t think the walls are that thick.”
A beat.
Then— Sam's voice called from the other room.
“He’s right.”
You closed your eyes and sighed.
Matt dropped his voice, almost a whisper. “You’ve got history with Rogers,” Matt said evenly. “You’re not objective.”
You met his gaze, cold steel behind your eyes. “Don’t—”
“Are you doing this for them?” Matt pressed. “Or for us?”
A pause.
“For us,” you said finally. No hesitation. “Because if this firm stands for anything—if we really mean all that justice-for-the-voiceless rhetoric—then we don’t walk away when it gets hard.”
Matt stared at you. Silent.
Karen moved closer, her voice softer. “If we don’t help them… who will?”
Another silence.
Outside, the scrape of boots on the wood floor. Maybe someone pacing. Waiting.
Finally, Matt nodded once. Sharp. Decisive.
“Then we do this carefully.”
────────────────────────
The door to Matt’s office creaked open and the four of you re-emerged, expressions tight and unreadable. The air in the main room was still thick with silence, though Sam leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed, wearing a knowing grin.
“Let me guess,” he said lightly. “That was the ‘don’t take this case’ speech?”
Foggy gave a small shrug. “More like a group therapy session with legal consequences.”
Matt stepped forward, composed, and focused entirely on Steve. “There are serious risks here. For all of us. This isn’t one case. It’s two.”
He turned to the group at large, folding his hands over his midsection. “One is the Sokovia Accords. The legality of operating as enhanced individuals without government oversight. Violating international protocol, fleeing detainment, staging a breakout at a maximum security prison. That alone could get you extradited.”
He shifted slightly, his tone measured. “The second is Barnes.”
You felt it before Matt even said it.
“Everything the Winter Soldier did under Hydra’s control—assassinations, covert destabilizations, attacks on U.S. soil. That’s a separate case. Separate charges. Separate legal challenges.”
Bucky, who had remained still near the wall, barely reacted—but his jaw flexed, just slightly.
Matt continued, voice low and clinical. “Legally, emotionally, those two cases need to be separated. Treated with different strategies.”
You nodded once, slowly. “Makes sense.”
Matt turned to you, expression unreadable behind the dark lenses. “You’ll take the Sokovia case. With Karen.”
You blinked. “Matt—”
“—I’ll oversee Barnes’ case,” Matt said. “Foggy and I can manage the prep, the research, the filings.”
There was a beat. Just long enough for the subtext to land.
You knew why he’d made the call.
Because of Berlin.
You didn’t argue.
You just nodded. “Fine.”
Karen glanced between you both, clearly picking up on the tension, but said nothing.
Steve spoke up. “We trust you. All of you.”
Matt nodded once. “Then we’ll need everything. Every detail. Nothing sealed. Nothing omitted.”
Natasha, quiet until now, gave a faint, dry smile. “You’re going to be real popular in Washington.”
Matt didn’t return it. “I’m used to being unpopular.”
Your eyes flicked—briefly—to Bucky. He hadn’t moved. Hadn’t spoken. But he was still watching you.
You turned back to the team. “Alright. Let’s get to work.”
────────────────────────
Two Months Later
The old television bolted to the corner of the wall crackled with static before clearing into focus—just in time for the morning news anchor to smile with the smugness of someone who knows they’re about to deliver the most interesting story of the week.
“In a move that’s turning heads across the country—and sending the internet into overdrive—Captain America, Black Widow, and the Falcon have officially stepped out of hiding.“
You looked up from your case notes. Karen froze with her hand half-dipped into a bag of bagels. Foggy leaned in.
“Two days ago, in a move that surprised just about everyone, former Avengers Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Sam Wilson appeared at the Federal Court of Appeals in Washington D.C., accompanied by their legal representation from—get this—a small, previously low-profile law firm operating out of Hell’s Kitchen.”
The image cut to grainy footage of you, Matt, Foggy, and Karen flanking the group like a mismatched legal cavalry.
“Nelson & Murdock, previously known for representing low-income residents and suing city contractors for asbestos violations, now finds itself at the helm of the most closely watched legal proceedings since the Accords were signed. The defendants, who include Rogers and Romanoff, are seeking to challenge the legality of the Sokovia Accords themselves…”
The anchor’s tone shifted slightly, eyes flicking to the teleprompter.
“…and yes, among them is James Buchanan Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, whose history as a Hydra operative makes this not just a case of civil liberties—but of reckoning with war crimes. His charges, we’re told, are being handled separately by the same firm.”
The screen showed Bucky stepping out of a black SUV, flanked by Matt and you. His eyes were cast downward. Yours weren’t.
“Their lawyers declined to comment, but sources close to the case say the team has already begun mounting a complex dual defense—one tackling international law, the other psychological trauma under state-sponsored manipulation. It’s ambitious. Whether Nelson & Murdock are brilliant… or just insane? Time will tell.”
Matt muted the screen with the remote.
A beat.
No one said anything for a long moment.
“Brilliant or insane,” you murmured. “Could be both.”
Foggy popped a cold fry into his mouth. “Leaning toward insane.”
Karen smiled tightly, but her eyes were distant. “You know what this means, right? If we lose… this isn’t just bad press. It’s over. For the firm.”
You leaned back in your chair, the glow of the TV soft against your skin. “Then we don’t lose.”
────────────────────────
The hum of conversation and typing filled the small legal office, broken only by the occasional scrape of a chair or the tired sigh of someone realizing they’d reread the same sentence for the third time.
Karen sat beside you at the center table, files on the Sokovia Accords spread open like a battlefield between you. Natasha leaned against the window sill, unreadable as always, arms crossed. Sam paced behind his chair, restless energy rolling off him like heat. Steve sat back, quiet but alert, his gaze following every word exchanged like a chessboard in motion.
“Paragraph twelve, subsection four,” Karen muttered. “The clause on oversight jurisdiction contradicts itself. It mandates UN supervision but assigns implementation to national governments.”
You blew a slow breath through your nose. “That’s either an oversight or a trap. Both are bad.”
“Welcome to international policy,” Natasha drawled, not looking up.
Sam made a low noise in his throat. “Well, joke’s on them.”
From beyond the glass wall of Matt’s office, another voice filtered through—rougher, heavier. Bucky’s.
“No. I don’t remember the name. He was wearing a blue ring, I think. Target was in Warsaw. Hydra flagged them as a threat to... something.”
Foggy’s voice followed, steady but gentle. “You’re doing fine, Bucky. Just talk us through what you remember, even if it’s fragments.”
There was a beat of silence, and then Matt’s voice, calm but firm. “And the handlers? The ones who triggered you—how often did they use the code?”
“It varied,” Bucky said. “If I resisted... more.”
You glanced toward the frosted glass separating the rooms. Bucky was a vague shape on the other side, head down, broad shoulders hunched like he was trying to disappear into the chair. Matt stood opposite him, arms folded, Foggy sitting nearby with a yellow legal pad already half-filled in cramped handwriting.
“He’s been in there for two hours,” Karen said softly, reading your look.
“He’s cooperating,” Steve murmured. “But it’s not easy. I wouldn’t want to talk about it either.”
Back in your office, you flipped another page in the Accords briefing. Your fingers were starting to cramp.
“The entire structure of this thing is meant to constrain,” you muttered. “They want to turn the Avengers into government employees. And if they refuse, it’s jail. Or worse.”
“They tried that,” Sam muttered. “Didn’t work out for them.”
Karen leaned back and scrubbed a hand down her face. “We’re going in circles.”
“No,” you said, “we’re dancing around landmines.”
Another silence.
Karen stood abruptly. “Okay, this isn’t working. We’re all burned out. We need a break.”
You blinked, half in protest. “Karen—”
“You’re losing your mind over there, I’ve read the same paragraph three times, and Steve looks like he’s reconsidering all of his life choices.” She pointed at the door. “I’m declaring a recess.”
From the other end of the table, Steve raised an eyebrow. “Recess?”
“Josie’s,” she clarified. “We go, we drink, we breathe. Otherwise one of us is going to snap and file a motion to burn the Accords in front of the UN.”
Romanoff arched a sleek brow. “What’s Josie’s?”
You didn’t look up as you gathered the pages into a pile. “A dive bar two blocks from here. Sticky floors, strong drinks. A Hell’s Kitchen classic.”
Sam grinned. “Sold.”
Karen poked her head into Matt’s office. “We’re going for drinks. You’re coming. No debate.”
Matt looked up, eyebrow raised. “Karen—”
“Even you need a break,” she insisted, voice lighter but not asking. “And Foggy, if you don’t close that legal pad in the next five seconds I’m stealing it.”
Foggy blinked like he’d surfaced from a fog. “Wait, what?”
Matt sighed, then turned toward Bucky. “Do you want to come?”
Bucky didn’t answer right away. His gaze slid over to you—just for a second—then back to the floor. But he gave a quiet nod.
“Alright,” Matt said. “Josie’s it is.”
────────────────────────
The moment the eight of you stepped into Josie’s, the entire bar went still.
It was almost cinematic—the way conversation halted mid-sentence, pool cues hovered mid-shot, and every pint glass seemed to freeze just before reaching someone’s lips.
Only it wasn’t you they were looking at.
Their eyes went right past you to the four figures just behind.
The tension was immediate. You could feel it like static against your skin.
You squinted at the crowd and snapped, “What.”
It came out sharper than you meant—but effective. Just like that, everyone returned to their drinks and conversations, like they hadn’t just seen literal war criminals walk into their local dive bar.
You sighed, stepped inside, and motioned toward the back booth like it was any other Thursday night.
“Same rules apply,” you murmured over your shoulder. “No starting bar fights. No interrogating anyone mid-darts game.”
Sam let out a quiet laugh. “Wasn’t planning on it, but now I’m curious.”
“Don’t be,” Foggy muttered. “That guy with the dart tattoo takes it really seriously.”
Karen nudged him, leading the way toward the booth. “Come on, Captain America. Let’s see how you do in a place where the floor sticks and nobody salutes you.”
Steve offered a faint smile, clearly trying to pretend he didn’t just make a dozen patrons sweat through their flannel shirts. “Sounds...refreshing.”
Bucky didn’t say anything. He followed silently, but you could feel his presence behind you—like gravity. Like heat.
You settled into the booth first, flanked by Karen and Foggy. Matt slid in next, followed by Steve and Natasha on the far side. Sam pulled up a chair. Bucky remained standing a moment too long, then finally sank into the seat next to Matt—putting the maximum amount of physical space between you.
Your stomach twisted, just briefly.
You didn’t look at him.
Karen raised a hand for Josie. “Eight whiskeys. Don’t ask.”
Josie nodded from behind the bar, unfazed as ever.
“You bring a circus, I serve a circus,” she called. “Just don’t bleed on the floor.”
────────────────────────
At some point, you’d drifted. The laughter around the booth was distant now—Karen leaning into Natasha as the former recounted some mildly incriminating story, Sam egging on Steve about a round of darts he absolutely didn’t want to play. Matt was nursing his drink with that subtle tightness in his jaw he always wore in crowded spaces.
You slipped away, needing a minute, and ended up at the bar under the flickering light that buzzed like it was dying. The wood beneath your elbows was sticky, familiar. Comforting, in a weird, grimy way.
A moment later, Foggy appeared beside you, sliding his hand onto the bar as he leaned. “I come bearing a noble quest.”
You raised an eyebrow. “Let me guess. Refills?”
“Exactly.” He grinned. “Whiskey times eight. Josie’s gonna love us.”
As Josie started lining up the glasses, you glanced sideways. “How’s your case coming along?”
Foggy made a sound that was somewhere between a groan and a laugh. “Difficult. Bucky’s… not great at giving detail. He gives you one name, two dates, and then he goes quiet like he’s talking through glass.”
You nodded, unsurprised.
“But,” he added, tipping his head toward you with a knowing look, “also distracted. Like, flinch-at-the-sound-of-your-voice distracted.”
You blinked. “What?”
“I’m serious,” he said, grabbing one of the glasses, inspecting it before sliding it back down. “Anytime you walk into a room? His eyes snap to you like a moth to a flame. It’s kind of… sad, actually. Those big, quiet eyes practically begging you to look at him.”
You rolled your eyes. “That’s not true.”
“It is,” he insisted, still in that frustratingly calm Foggy way. “I thought maybe I was imagining it, but after the fifth time I caught him zoning out mid-sentence because you walked past the hallway? It’s a pattern.”
You stared ahead, lips pressing into a thin line.
“My client,” you said after a beat, “is Steve. Natasha. Sam. I work on the Sokovia side of this mess. Bucky’s—” your voice dropped, “—not my responsibility.”
“No,” Foggy said slowly, “but you are avoiding him. And don’t tell me you’re not.”
You ran a hand over your face and muttered under your breath, “If you haven’t noticed, I have a very big, very real Matt-shaped fence around me any time I’m in the same room as Barnes.”
Foggy winced sympathetically. “Yeah… he does kind of hover.”
“Hover?” you echoed with a hollow laugh. “He treats me like I’m going to spontaneously combust if I so much as sit next to the guy.”
Foggy didn’t say anything at first. Then: “You don’t look like you want to combust.”
You were about to say something—something not entirely wise, maybe—but Foggy beat you to it, glancing over your shoulder with a quiet hush.
“Cap's on his way over here,” he murmured. “And he looks like a man on a mission.”
You turned just enough to catch the tall figure weaving through the crowd, eyes set squarely on you.
Foggy grabbed six of the whiskey glasses Josie had just lined up, balancing them with both arms like a bartender with something to prove. “I’ll leave you two with these,” he said, nodding toward the final pair left on the bar, “and, uh, good luck.”
You didn’t reply—just watched as he maneuvered his way back to the table like he was handling a tray of grenades.
And then Steve slid onto the barstool next to you. Quiet. Steady.
He didn’t say anything at first, just folded his hands loosely on the bartop, his presence as familiar as it was grounding.
“Hi,” you murmured, not looking directly at him as you nursed your drink.
He gave that small, sincere smile. The one that never failed to remind you why you'd once entertained the idea of something more.
“I know this is putting a strain on you,” he said finally. His voice was low, quiet enough that only you could hear. “I just wanted to thank you—for helping us. Again.”
You scoffed lightly, your tone flippant by design. “You know I’d do anything for you, Steve.”
But you kept your eyes on your drink. It was easier that way. Easier than meeting those too-blue eyes and seeing all the history sitting inside them.
“I don’t take that lightly,” he said after a pause. “I never have.”
You didn’t respond. You didn’t need to.
The silence that settled between you wasn’t awkward—but it was full. With things neither of you had ever said out loud. With everything you’d been, everything you almost were, and everything you now couldn’t afford to be.
Steve shifted slightly. “You’ve changed.”
That caught you off guard. You turned, just enough to look at him out of the corner of your eye.
“In a good way,” he added quickly. “Stronger. Sharper.”
You snorted. “Or maybe just tired.”
He smiled, but there was a flicker of something behind it. Regret, maybe. Recognition. You didn’t ask.
“You ever think about what things might’ve looked like... if this all hadn’t happened?”
His voice was barely above a murmur, heavy with something unspoken. The kind of question that didn’t ask for an answer, not really—but still lingered between you, expectant and fragile.
You didn’t look at him right away. Just shook your head slowly, the corners of your mouth twitching in something like a sad smile.
“It probably would’ve been the same,” you said quietly. “You asking me for help... and me helping you. Without hesitation.”
Your eyes met his then—soft, sure. Unflinching.
“Just like now.”
Steve’s expression didn’t shift immediately, but something in his posture relaxed.
“Nothing more,” you added, voice gentler this time. “Nothing less.”
For a moment, he looked like he wanted to argue. That familiar Captain instinct flickering just behind his eyes—always reaching for something better, something fuller.
But he didn’t.
Because he knew you meant it.
────────────────────────
The office was unusually quiet for a Wednesday.
Karen had gone out to meet a contact. Foggy was holed up in the back with a stack of transcripts, headphones in. And Matt—Matt was gone, off doing whatever it was he did when he didn’t tell anyone where he was going.
You were at your desk, sorting through notes on the Sokovia filings, when you heard the soft shuffle of boots against hardwood.
You glanced up.
Bucky stood in the doorway, hands in his pockets, expression unreadable. Not cold—never cold—but hesitant, like he was walking into enemy territory and wasn’t sure if he’d make it out the other side.
Your heart stuttered, but you masked it with a carefully neutral look. “Need something from Foggy?”
He shook his head, slow. “No.”
You set your pen down.
The silence between you wasn’t heavy—it was brittle. Like one wrong word would crack the whole thing wide open.
Bucky took a few steps in. Close enough that you could see the faint bags under his eyes, fading but still present. A leftover from whatever truth he’d had to drag out in testimony.
His voice, when he spoke, was low. Rough around the edges like gravel. “Why won’t you talk to me?”
The question hung in the air.
You stared at him for a beat too long. You’d imagined this—this exact moment—so many times. And somehow, the real thing still knocked the air out of your lungs.
“I do talk to you,” you said, too quickly. “We’ve had conversations.”
He didn’t flinch. “Brief ones.”
You hesitated. Then stood, slowly, placing your hands on the edge of the desk like it might steady you.
“I didn’t think you wanted to,” you said finally, quietly.
“That’s not true,” Bucky said. “You know that’s not true.”
He took another step in, but didn’t crowd you. Never that.
“You used to look at me,” he said. “Back in Berlin. You saw me. Not the ghost. Not the asset. Me.”
Your throat tightened.
“I haven’t changed,” he said, a little more broken now. “Not really. But you… it’s like I became someone you’re not allowed to be alone with.”
Your mouth opened, then closed.
There it was.
The thing you’d been avoiding. Not because you didn’t want to face it—but because you already had. Night after night. Every time you saw his eyes find you across the room and forced yourself to look away.
“I didn’t want to make things harder,” you said, voice almost a whisper.
“For who?” he asked. Not angry—just quietly devastated.
You didn’t answer.
Couldn’t.
Because if you did—if you opened your mouth—you were afraid of what might come out. And there was already too much unsaid between you to risk making it worse.
Bucky took one more step closer, slow and tentative. Like a man approaching something sacred. “I need to know, did I… did I do something wrong? That night?”
Your breath caught.
Your whole body stilled.
“No,” you said, almost too fast. “No. You didn’t.”
He blinked, eyes narrowing slightly with confusion and something sharper—pain. “Then why do you look at me like it was a mistake?”
You turned away, suddenly unable to hold the weight of his gaze. Your fingers curled into fists at your sides, trying to ground yourself. But your voice cracked as you spoke.
“Because I think I made a mistake.”
You heard him shift, barely a sound, but you could feel the air change between you. “What mistake?”
“I think I… took advantage of you.”
The words hit the room like a punch. You didn’t look at him—you couldn’t. You stared at the stack of case files on your desk, eyes burning.
“You were… not okay, Bucky. You were still half-lost, barely holding on. I kissed you to stop a panic attack, not because I thought we—God, I didn’t think. I just acted. And then you kissed me back, and it felt like if I pulled away you’d shatter and—” you cut yourself off, swallowing hard. “And I let it happen. I let it go too far.”
A beat of silence.
Then another.
Then his voice, lower than you’d ever heard it. “You think that’s what that night was?”
You turned, finally.
He was looking at you like he didn’t know whether to fall apart or hold himself together.
“That night,” he said slowly, “was the first time I felt human again.”
You stared at him.
“The first time someone touched me like I wasn’t dangerous,” he continued, breath catching. “Like I wasn’t something to be handled, or feared, or fixed. You kissed me and I—” his voice broke, “—I didn’t know what it meant, or how long it would last, but I held on to it. For a year. In Wakanda. Every morning, I thought about you.”
Your heart ached.
“I don’t know what it is I feel for you,” he admitted, shoulders taut, “but it’s not infatuation. It’s not fantasy. It’s something I haven’t had in a long time. And maybe I only knew you for a day—but it was enough to remember the way you made me feel.”
He took a tentative step forward.
“You were the first thing that made me want to come back.”
Your knees nearly gave out at that.
Because this wasn’t just about guilt. Or trauma. Or old wounds.
This was about healing, too.
And somehow, heartbreakingly, he had found his in you.
You took a breath, shaky and too thin, eyes burning with the effort it took to keep yourself upright beneath the weight of his words.
Part of you wanted to say nothing. Let silence answer.
But you’d done that already. For months.
So instead, you forced yourself to speak—softly, but firmly.
“I thought what I did… that night, I thought it might’ve been selfish.”
His gaze didn’t waver. “It wasn’t.”
You looked up at him, finally meeting those steel-blue eyes that had haunted you every time you tried to sleep.
“I don’t regret it,” you whispered. “I just didn’t know if I had the right.”
Bucky exhaled, the sound low and wrecked.
“You didn’t take something from me,” he said. “You gave me something. You made me feel… wanted. Safe. I hadn’t felt that in decades.”
A beat passed. Then another. Your hand twitched at your side, like it might reach for him. You didn’t let it.
“I care about you, Bucky,” you said, so softly it barely reached the space between you. “More than I probably should.”
Hope flared in his eyes—and that’s when you took a step back.
“But right now, I’m your lawyer.”
He blinked. “No. You’re not.”
You frowned. “What?”
“Nelson and Murdock are my representation. You’re on the Avengers’ case.”
The smallest, saddest smile tugged at your lips. “Still. It’s messy.”
His eyes searched yours, quiet and patient. “I’m not asking for something now. I’m not asking for anything.”
You tilted your head. “Then what are you asking for?”
He swallowed. “That you stop looking at me like what happened between us was wrong.”
The crack in your heart widened.
And maybe you didn’t have the strength to tell him that you'd been looking at yourself that way, not him.
You nodded instead. Barely.
He stepped back. Gave you space. But didn’t stop looking at you.
And as he turned to leave the room, your eyes followed him.
────────────────────────
Josie’s bar was unusually full for a Tuesday. The crowd buzzed with quiet conversation, the low hum of sports highlights rolling on the TV behind the bar. But then the channel flickered—cutting to a breaking news graphic—and slowly, the room began to hush.
“After over a year on the run for their violation of the Sokovia Accords,” the reporter continued, “the trio was represented by a relatively unknown but fiercely competent law firm based out of Hell’s Kitchen—Nelson & Murdock.”
A round of murmured cheers rippled through the bar.
“And leading the charge,” the anchor said, “was associate attorney—” your name followed, clear and pronounced, “—whose legal argument reframed the Accords as unconstitutional under both domestic and international law. The case has since been labeled a landmark ruling on enhanced rights, government overreach, and jurisdictional ethics in conflict zones.”
A grainy clip of you outside the courthouse played next. Microphones crowded around you. Your hair pulled back, blazer sharp, your voice calm but firm under pressure.
“The Sokovia Accords were a rushed and fear-based overreach,” you were saying. “The world needs accountability, yes. But not at the cost of civil liberties, and not by punishing people for doing the right thing under the wrong rules.”
A quiet cheer went up near the bar. Someone clapped. You heard a voice—one of the long-time regulars—murmur, “That’s the one that comes in for bourbon on Thursdays, right?”
Josie herself just raised a brow from behind the bar, the closest thing she gave to a nod of approval.
“General Thaddeus Ross issued a formal response,” the anchor added, voice tight, “saying—quote—‘While I do not agree with the court’s interpretation, I respect the process. These individuals are no longer fugitives, and I trust they will now operate within a framework of accountability moving forward.’”
Muted scoffs met that.
“Yeah, sure he does,” Sam muttered under his breath, arms crossed where he sat across from you.
On screen, the reporter continued, summarizing the case’s outcome. “The general amnesty clause within the ruling ensures that enhanced individuals acting in good faith and without malicious intent will not be prosecuted under the original terms of the Accords. While some international critics have voiced concern, the decision is widely seen as a critical first step in rebuilding trust between superpowered individuals and governing bodies.”
Steve didn’t say anything, but his eyes found you—something quiet and full in them. He raised his glass. Just once.
You exhaled slowly, unsure whether it was relief or anticipation sitting heavier in your chest.
Because one case was over.
And the hardest one still waited.
────────────────────────
The holding area outside the Special Tribunal Court at Fort Meade, Maryland, was as sterile and impersonal as the military complex it belonged to—linoleum floors, harsh fluorescent lights, and the low hum of overhead ventilation.
Outside the windowless space, armed guards rotated in silence. The tribunal room itself, behind a thick blast door, waited like a judgment chamber.
You sat stiffly on a bench too narrow for comfort, legal documents fanned out over your lap. Your fingers clenched the edges of one as your eyes burned with something hot and sharp.
Matt Murdock was nowhere to be found.
He hadn’t returned calls, hadn’t shown up to prep the night before, hadn’t replied to the increasingly frantic voicemails from Foggy. And now, with less than an hour until Bucky’s final hearing—he was still missing.
Foggy entered the room like a storm cloud. “I’ve called everyone I can think of,” he said, slightly out of breath. “Nothing. He’s not answering his phone, the apartment was locked up, Karen hasn’t heard anything from him either—he’s gone, and we’re out of time.”
You stood sharply, biting back the rush of frustration rising in your chest. “He had one case,” you said. “This was supposed to be his goddamn priority.”
“Yeah, well, it’s Matt,” Foggy muttered, raking a hand through his hair.
Your eyes narrowed. “This is more than a case, Foggy. This is his life—” you gestured toward Bucky, who sat silent and watching “—and Matt just walked away from it.”
A long silence stretched between the five of you.
Bucky’s voice broke through. Quiet. “So… what now?”
Steve looked at you. So did Sam.
You stared at the stack of files on the bench. “I’ll take it.”
“You sure?” Foggy asked, already reaching for the briefing notes.
You gave him a look. “Do I look unsure?”
He swallowed. “Okay. Geneva precedents up top. Watch for prosecution's cross-exam strategy—she'll hammer your credentials hard, especially since you’re taking over so last minute.”
“Let her try,” you said under your breath.
Bucky rose slowly, his blazer stretching across his shoulders. He didn’t look at you—just toward the tribunal doors. “They’re going to call me a monster.”
You turned to face him.
“They might,” you said. “But they won’t win.”
His eyes found yours then—guarded, questioning.
“They’ll see a file, a record, a reputation,” you added. “I see a man who survived hell and still had the strength to pull himself out. That’s who I’ll fight for.”
His jaw worked slightly. And in the silence that followed, he nodded—once.
The weight of his trust settled over your shoulders, heavier than any closing argument.
You picked up your notes, spine straightening. “Let’s go win this.”
────────────────────────
The tribunal room at Fort Meade was cavernous and cold, more war room than courtroom. A long semi-circle of military and civilian officials presided behind bulletproof glass and steel.
The American flag stood behind the tribunal's emblem—flanked by the Department of Justice seal and the Department of Defense. The lighting was clinical, unforgiving, and the walls, though soundproofed, seemed to hum with silent judgment.
General Thaddeus Ross sat at the far end, half-shrouded in shadow, his arms folded and his jaw set in stone. Beside him were analysts from the CIA, a rep from Homeland Security, and the sharp-eyed lead prosecutor from the DOJ’s National Security Division—Assistant Attorney Caldwell. Her file on Barnes was a stack thick with ink and classified stamps.
The moment your group was escorted in—Bucky, Foggy, Steve, Sam, and yourself—all eyes shifted. You didn’t flinch. But you felt the air change.
Bucky didn’t look up. He hadn’t since the elevator ride down.
You took your seat at the defense table. Foggy beside you. Bucky just behind, shadowed. And for one sharp moment, you felt utterly alone at the center of this war.
The presiding military judge adjusted his mic.
“We are here to assess the culpability and legal standing of one James Buchanan Barnes, formerly known as the Winter Soldier,” he began. “This tribunal acknowledges the unique nature of this case, involving alleged international war crimes, state-sponsored coercion, and actions performed under mind control.”
Then, he nodded to Caldwell. “Prosecution.”
She rose with the kind of practiced composure that could slice through steel. Her tone was calm. Precise. Measured.
“The defense will ask you to see James Barnes as a victim,” Caldwell began, voice resonant in the mic. “They will cite brainwashing, trauma, and a corrupted past. And yes—there is undeniable evidence that Mr. Barnes suffered under Hydra.”
A pause.
“But the law is not only built on sympathy. It is built on accountability.”
She turned toward the panel. “James Barnes was a lethal asset in a global shadow war. He executed heads of state. He destroyed civilian infrastructure. He has killed American agents on American soil. His body count surpasses a hundred and known ops occurred over seven decades.”
Then, looking toward your table:
“Whatever happened to his mind—his hands did not forget how to kill. And today, we must ask whether releasing him into society is an act of mercy… or a threat to every principle we claim to defend.”
She sat.
You didn’t blink.
The judge turned to you. “Defense. You may proceed.”
You stood.
Voice calm. Clear.
“For over seventy years, James Barnes was a prisoner of war in a war he never chose. He was stripped of identity. Language. Memory. He was tortured and rebuilt into a weapon—not by choice, but by force.”
Your fingers tightened around the edge of the lectern.
“Yes, he executed missions. But he also survived unimaginable horrors. His captors used science and brutality to shatter the man he was, again and again. And yet—he clawed his way out.”
You met the tribunal’s eyes, one by one.
“He did not run. He came back. He asked for help. And this country, after failing to protect him once, now has a chance to show that it remembers what justice really is.”
You stepped back, pulse hammering in your throat. Behind you, Bucky hadn't moved—but you could feel him breathing. Steady. Listening.
The tribunal was silent.
And the battle had begun.
And after a brief recess the tribunal resumed. You reviewed the witness list as your pen tapped softly on the table. Your jaw was tight. Foggy leaned in beside you.
“You good?”
You nodded once, barely.
The tribunal called its first witness: Colonel Elias Rourke, former liaison to SHIELD, now with Homeland Security. He swore in, stiff and iron-backed in uniform. His voice was gravel.
“Colonel, you had firsthand knowledge of the Winter Soldier’s activity?” Caldwell prompted.
“I did. I was stationed in Berlin during the assassination of a NATO peace envoy. Clean kill. No surveillance footage. The only evidence was a classified SHIELD transcript pointing to a ghost operative—metal arm, cold precision. Barnes.”
You watched Bucky flinch imperceptibly. You didn’t look back.
“And what was your assessment?” Caldwell asked.
Rourke’s lips thinned. “The man was Hydra’s blade. Deadliest asset in the game. We called him ‘death in the dark.’ Didn’t miss. Didn’t stop.”
Caldwell turned, satisfied. “No further questions.”
You rose slowly. “Colonel Rourke, you served under SHIELD, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Were you aware SHIELD was compromised by Hydra at the time of your assessment?”
He hesitated.
“Yes.”
“So your data, your field reports—all possibly filtered through an organization secretly aligned with the enemy?”
Rourke bristled. “That doesn’t change the kill count.”
“No, it doesn’t. But it does change how we interpret it,” you said smoothly. “Tell me, Colonel—how do we define guilt when the evidence comes from traitors?”
The tribunal rustled. Ross's eyes darkened. Caldwell leaned back.
“No further questions,” you said.
Witness after witness passed—some military, some from European intelligence. You dismantled their claims methodically. Not denying Bucky’s past—but reframing it.
Context. Compulsion. Control.
Then came your first and only defense witness: Ayo Sekayi, General of the Dora Milaje, flown in under diplomatic neutrality. Her presence silenced the room.
Ayo took her seat, graceful and firm.
You approached.
“General Sekayi, you worked directly with Mr. Barnes in Wakanda?”
“I did.”
“And what was your primary role?”
“Deprogramming. Erasing the Soviet Hydra conditioning. The trigger words, the synaptic trauma, the enforced behaviors. We dismantled them piece by piece.”
You turned toward the tribunal. “And your conclusion?”
She looked directly at Bucky.
“James Barnes is not the Winter Soldier. Not anymore. What they built in him—we destroyed.”
Caldwell stood. “General, can you confirm that these—‘deprogramming’ techniques—cannot be reversed or broken?”
Ayo narrowed her gaze. “Nothing in life is certain, Miss Caldwell. But I trust the work. And more importantly, I trust him.”
The prosecution rested after a tense exchange. Foggy passed you a note: You’re killing it.
But your stomach twisted.
The judge shifted in his seat. “Closing statements will begin in the next session. Tribunal adjourned until 1400 hours.”
You nodded, quietly collecting your papers. Bucky hadn’t spoken all day—but he stood when you did.
His gaze didn’t waver.
“Thank you,” he said softly.
You didn’t reply.
Not yet.
────────────────────────
The minutes before reconvening felt like a countdown to impact.
The tribunal room was heavier now. Not just because the panel of adjudicators had seen the evidence, heard the testimonies—but because they knew the weight of their decision. This wasn’t just about a man. It was about precedence. Politics. Redemption. War.
You stood at the lectern. Foggy sat beside you, calm but alert. Behind you, Bucky sat like he had the entire hearing—shoulders tight, jaw clenched, hands folded. Steve and Sam were across the room, watching, holding their breath through silence.
The presiding officer gave a nod. “Defense, your closing.”
You moved forward slowly. Let your silence stretch for two full seconds before speaking.
“James Buchanan Barnes was trained to disappear. Not just behind enemy lines—but inside himself. He was torn apart, piece by piece, rebuilt without memory or mercy. For decades, he was a weapon in human form. A ghost. A nightmare.”
You let your gaze sweep the tribunal.
“But that’s not who sits behind me today.”
Your voice softened, sharpened.
“He is not innocent. He will never claim to be. But he is not the man they made him. He is not their ghost.”
You swallowed.
“He is a man who has fought harder than most of us can comprehend to claw his way back into the light. He submitted himself to justice. He asked for this hearing. And what he’s asking for—what we’re asking for—is not exoneration without cost.”
You paused.
“We’re asking for understanding. For mercy. For recognition that justice must evolve alongside science, circumstance, and morality.”
Then, finally—
“James Barnes was a soldier. Then he was a prisoner. Then a weapon. But now—now he’s just a man, trying to find something like peace. Let’s not take that away from him.”
You stepped back.
The room was silent.
The prosecution’s closing was colder, but no less powerful. Caldwell spoke with solemn finality.
“However reformed, however rehabilitated—some weapons are too dangerous to unholster. James Barnes has been the tool of multiple regimes. Are we prepared to bet the lives of our citizens on the belief that it won’t happen again?”
She sat.
Then—nothing. Just deliberation.
Forty minutes of it.
Each tick of the wall clock pounded behind your eyes. Steve sat forward, elbows on knees. Sam paced. Foggy didn’t even pretend to read his notes.
Bucky never moved.
Then, the tribunal returned.
The presiding officer cleared his throat.
“In light of the presented evidence, the declassified testimony, and scientific evaluation…”
Your fingers curled against the edge of the table.
“…this tribunal finds James Buchanan Barnes…”
A pause.
“…not criminally liable for the acts committed while under Hydra control. Further, we acknowledge the legitimacy of his rehabilitation and no longer consider him an active threat to national or global security.”
A stunned silence followed.
But your heart didn’t lift. Not yet.
“We impose a five-year probationary review period. Mr. Barnes will remain under international observation and restricted combat engagement unless sanctioned. However, he will not face incarceration.”
A breath you didn’t know you were holding escaped your chest.
Foggy muttered, “Holy shit.”
Behind you, Steve let out a slow exhale. Sam’s shoulders dropped.
But Bucky… Bucky just sat there. Still as a statue. His eyes weren’t wide, weren’t teary. But something deep in them shifted—like a plate in the earth, tectonic and unseen.
He looked at you.
And for the first time since Berlin, you let yourself look back.
Not with guilt.
But something closer to peace.
The gavel dropped.
Court adjourned.
────────────────────────
The door to your apartment clicked shut behind you with a thud that echoed louder than expected. Your keys fell into the bowl by the entryway with a tired clatter.
The moment you slipped off your shoes, it was like your body remembered just how much weight you’d been carrying—shoulders sore, back stiff, head foggy.
The tribunal had ended just hours ago. One year’s worth of courtrooms, hearings, back-channel negotiations, UN statements, and defense strategies finally behind you. It should’ve felt victorious.
Instead, it felt like collapse.
You didn't turn on any lights. The glow from the city outside was enough—warm, amber halos from streetlamps slipping through your windows and stretching across the hardwood floor.
You moved by muscle memory, changing into an oversized shirt and sweatpants, tossing your suit into a corner without care. You’d earned at least a week of hermit-mode.
The pizza delivery guy barely warranted a word, just a tired smile and a muttered thanks. The glass of wine you poured wasn’t even your usual—it was whatever had been in your fridge long enough to gather dust on the cork.
You had just curled up on your tiny loveseat, plate in lap, wine within reach, when your phone buzzed on the kitchen counter.
Karen Page
Drinks at Josie’s to celebrate? 🍻 Foggy’s already halfway drunk. And we found Matt.
You smiled softly. Sweet, thoughtful. But it hurt a little.
Your fingers hovered for a second before you typed:
Rain check? I’m officially horizontal for the foreseeable future.
Almost immediately came a heart emoji and a "Love you, you earned it."
That small glow vanished when the screen lit again.
Matt (1 Missed Call) Matt (2 Missed Calls) Matt (3 Missed Calls)
You didn’t even have the energy to read the texts—but they stacked like an avalanche.
Matt Murdock
Call me back. Please. I didn't know Elektra would show up. I didn’t mean for it to affect the case. I never meant to hurt you. I’m sorry.
You turned the screen face-down and shoved it under a couch cushion like a bad memory.
Pizza. Wine. Couch. That was all you had space for.
And for a while—it worked. The TV murmured in the background. The bottle slowly emptied. Your shoulders lost some of their coiled tension.
Until a knock sounded at the door.
You stared at it for a full ten seconds.
Another knock. Firmer. You sighed, dragging yourself up with a muttered, “Matt, I swear to God—”
But when you looked through the peephole, your heart stuttered.
It wasn’t Matt.
It was Bucky.
James Buchanan Barnes.
Hair swept back, still slightly damp like he’d just showered. A simple navy t-shirt. Jeans. No jacket. And in his hands—
Flowers.
A small, uneven bouquet. Wildflowers. Not the kind you bought in shops. The kind you had to actually look for.
You opened the door without thinking.
When you opened it, the sound of the city filtered in faintly behind him.
Bucky looked… nervous. As in, genuinely uncertain of himself. The man who’d stood before a tribunal that morning like a stone pillar was now awkwardly holding out flowers that were slightly crumpled.
You blinked. “You’re… here.”
“Yeah.” He glanced down, cleared his throat. “I, uh… wasn’t sure if this was okay.”
You looked at the flowers.
“I didn't know what kind you liked,” he said, suddenly rambling. “So I just… picked some.”
You stared at him, the bouquet still held between you like a question.
Then, softly, “You picked these?”
His jaw flexed, faintly sheepish. “Yeah. I mean—not from someone’s yard. There’s this stand up in the Bronx. The guy there… he helped me out.” He paused. “I remembered you smelled like lavender. That night. So I made sure there was some in there.”
He hesitated.
“And now that I’m saying it out loud, it sounds a little stalker-ish.”
You didn’t say anything.
He shifted his weight. “You weren’t at Josie’s.”
“Didn’t feel like celebrating.”
“I figured.” His voice was soft. “I thought maybe… you didn’t want to be around everyone. So I came here. Just in case.”
You leaned back against the doorframe, watching him with quiet wariness.
“Why’d you bring me flowers, Bucky?”
He looked down for a second, then back at you. “Call it a thank-you gift. For my lawyer.”
A breath of a laugh escaped you, the first real one in hours. “For the last time, I’m not your lawyer. Matt and Foggy were.”
He didn’t flinch. “You were the one who argued for me. Who won my case. The one who sat across from me every time I wanted to give up.” A beat. “You always seem to be the one pulling me out when I’m sinking.”
You didn’t know what to say to that. So you didn’t. Just reached out and took the flowers from him, gently, like they might dissolve in your hands.
“Thanks,” you murmured.
He gave a quiet nod. “I’ll let you get back to your night.”
And just like that, he turned toward the hall.
You watched his retreating back, something cold curling low in your chest.
You closed the door quietly behind him.
But you didn’t move.
Not at first.
And then your body did what your heart had been screaming for since the moment you opened that damn door. You turned, ripped it back open, and stepped out into the hallway.
The hallway was dim, amber from the old light fixture flickering overhead, but you could still make out his silhouette. Shoulders hunched slightly, hands in his jacket pockets. That quiet slouch he always slipped into when he was trying to take up less space.
“Bucky—”
He was only a few steps away, but he stopped like you’d shot him.
Turned slowly, brows drawn, eyes searching yours, “Yeah?”
You exhaled, stepping into his space without hesitation, bare feet cold against the worn floorboards.
“What do you want from me?” you asked, voice low. Not demanding. Just tired. Raw.
His eyes locked on yours, steady. Like he’d been rehearsing his answer.
“Whatever you’re willing to give.”
Your breath caught. That simple. That honest.
You stepped closer, heart thudding like a drum in your ears. “What if I want you?”
That was all the warning he got before your hands cupped his face, pulling him down.
And Bucky—he melted into it.
Like he’d been waiting for that kiss since Berlin. Since your hands had once pulled him out of panic and into something like peace. Like you’d opened a door inside him he hadn’t dared approach until now.
His hands came to your waist, tentative at first, then firmer—like he needed to feel you were real.
Your fingers slipped into his hair, tugging just enough to make him groan into your mouth.
This wasn’t the desperation of before. This was a storm that had built for a year, a longing that had aged like wine, richer now, deeper. And when you pulled him back into your apartment by the front of his shirt, he followed without hesitation.
Your back hit the door before you’d even registered closing it.
Bucky’s hands were on you—your waist, your thighs, your face. Everywhere at once, like he couldn’t decide where to touch first and was terrified he’d lose you if he stopped.
His mouth found yours again in a bruising kiss, all teeth and breath and the kind of hunger that came from a year of silence and stolen glances.
You moaned into him—high, needy—and he swallowed it like he’d been starved for the sound.
Then, without a word, his hands slid beneath your thighs and lifted.
You gasped, legs instinctively wrapping around his waist as your back slammed gently against the wall. His strength was effortless—of course it was—but the way he looked at you, like you weighed nothing and everything all at once, made your stomach flip.
“God,” he rasped, pressing his forehead to yours for a breath. “You feel real.”
“I'm real,” you murmured, fingers threading through his hair, tugging him back down.
And he kissed you again, harder this time. Desperate.
You rocked your hips into his, and he groaned against your mouth—low, broken, like he was barely holding it together. The metal of his left hand braced against the wall behind your back, his right gripping your thigh so tightly you knew you’d feel it tomorrow.
He pulled back just enough to look at you—his eyes dark, pupils blown wide.
“I wanted this,” he whispered. “Since that night.”
You blinked up at him, lips parted, chest heaving. “Then take it.”
And he did.
He surged forward, grinding against you through your clothes. The friction was too much and not enough, the heat between you growing sharp and wild. Your hands clawed at his shoulders, nails dragging over the cotton of his shirt as you moved against him, meeting his thrusts with your own.
His lips moved to your neck, sucking hard enough to leave a mark. “You drive me insane,” he breathed. “Every time you walk into a room, I forget how to fucking breathe.”
You whimpered, tilting your head back to give him more. “Then don’t breathe.”
He laughed—sharp and breathless—and kissed you again like it hurt not to.
And still, the wall shook with every push of his hips.
You didn’t know who moved first—maybe it was you, maybe it was him—but suddenly your hand was sliding between you, dragging the rough line of his zipper down.
You could feel how hard he was already, straining through the fabric, and Bucky hissed through his teeth when your fingers brushed him.
“Christ,” he groaned, forehead dropping to your shoulder. “You want this here?”
Your answer was a breathless whisper at his ear: “Please.”
He growled—a deep, involuntary sound—and kissed you hard, teeth catching your bottom lip. His hands scrabbled at your sweatpants, pushing them down just enough, just enough for what mattered.
Yours were still wrapped around his waist, heels digging into the small of his back, urging him closer. Always closer.
There wasn’t time for finesse. Only need.
Only him.
You reached between you, helping him free himself, guiding him, your hands shaking. And when he slid inside, it was one motion. No hesitation. Like your bodies had been waiting for this, just this, for years.
The stretch made your head fall back against the wall with a soft cry.
“Oh, God—Bucky—”
“Shh,” he whispered, eyes locked on yours, one hand cupping your jaw while the other gripped your thigh like an anchor. “I’ve got you.”
And then he moved.
Slow at first, dragging his hips back and thrusting in again with enough force to make your breath hitch. The friction of clothes, the roughness of denim, the press of your back against the wall—it all made everything hotter, messier. You weren’t supposed to be doing this. Not here, not like this.
But it felt like coming home.
He was panting against your neck now, lips moving over your skin like he couldn’t decide whether to kiss you or devour you. His hips snapped forward harder, deeper, making you cry out and cling to him.
“Fuck,” he rasped. “You feel like—like I’ve been dreaming of you. And this is better.”
You arched into him, nails digging into his shoulders. “Don’t stop.”
“I’m not stopping,” he said, voice hoarse. “Not until you come. Not until I know you remember this every time you look at me.”
He was unraveling. You could feel it in the way his thrusts grew less controlled, how he trembled against you, how his breath turned ragged. Your own climax was building fast—too fast—but you chased it, grinding down against him as he thrust up, again and again.
When it hit, it was a wave that crashed hard, stealing your breath and your voice. You bit into his shoulder to stay quiet, and that did it for him—he gasped, buried himself deep, and came with a broken sound that might’ve been your name.
His forehead dropped to yours as the both of you shook through the aftershocks, your hands still clutching at each other like it wasn’t enough. Like it would never be enough.
The only sound in the room was your shared, panting breath.
And neither of you moved.
────────────────────────
Your back still tingled from where it had met the wall—hard, unforgiving, but so forgotten beneath the ache of Bucky's body pounding into yours just moments ago.
You barely remembered how you got to your bed. One moment, his hands were gripping your thighs, his breath hot against your neck, his voice wrecked as he whispered how good you felt around him—and now you were sprawled across soft sheets, still trembling.
You were flushed, chest rising and falling in uneven breaths, your lips swollen from his kisses and your thighs still parted, slick and sensitive from the way he just claimed you like he’d been waiting his whole life.
You were floating. Light. Feral with afterglow.
And then you saw him.
He was standing at the edge of your bed, chest rising in deep, uneven breaths. His eyes were locked on you—burning, stormy, like he wasn't quite done being wild.
His pants hung low on his hips, the fly undone, the muscles of his abdomen flexing with every breath. His metal hand was clenched at his side like he was holding back, barely.
You blinked up at him, still dazed, lips parting. “Bucky…? What are you doing?”
His jaw ticked. A muscle beneath his cheek jumped. He looked you up and down like he was trying to memorize the sight of you ruined and open for him. “I’m not finished with you yet.”
Your breath caught.
He shedded the rest of his clothes with slow, deliberate movements—like he was daring you to look away. You couldn't. You wouldn't. His body was all hard lines and shadows, the silver glint of his vibranium arm catching the low light as he crawled onto the bed.
“Did you really think one time was enough?” he murmured, eyes never leaving yours as he moved between your legs. “After how long I’ve wanted you? After what you do to me?”
You tried to answer, but your words dissolved into a gasp as he began undressing you—slowly almost reverently, his hands pulling your top over you head, his mouth brushing the newly revealed skin. He dragged your panties down your thighs, kissing each inch of your skin as he exposed it.
You whimpered as his hands pushed your legs apart, his mouth hovering just above your soaked center. He kissed the inside of your thigh, then the other, teasing, soft, then biting just enough to make you jerk.
Then he looked up at you—hair messy, pupils blown wide, lips red from earlier kisses—and said, “I need to taste you.”
And then he did.
His tongue touched you like a man possessed—like he was starved for you, like this was the only thing that would calm the storm raging inside him. The first long, slow lick made your hips jerk off the bed, a moan punching from your lungs before you could stop it. He groaned into your cunt, his hands—one metal, one flesh—gripping your thighs, holding you open, keeping you there.
“God, you taste so fucking good,” he rasped between licks, his voice muffled and desperate. “I could die like this. Right here. With you.”
He buried his face between your thighs, tongue plunging into you, then swirling up to your clit, his mouth wet and eager and relentless. He ate you out like he was drunk on you, like each moan you made was gasoline and he was the match. His metal fingers dug into your skin, grounding you, steadying you as his pace grew more frantic, more desperate.
You were already close again, still oversensitive from before, but he clearly didn't care. If anything, he was chasing that—your twitching thighs, your gasping breaths, the way your fingers tangled in his hair and yanked when it got too much.
“Come for me,” he whispered against you. “Let me feel it.”
He sucked your clit, fingers slide inside you without warning—two of them, thick and curling just right—and that was it.
You broke.
Your orgasm ripped through you like lightning, spine arching, a choked sob tearing from your throat as everything inside you contracted around him. You were shaking. Panting. Utterly wrecked.
And still, he didn't stop.
Not until you were whimpering, tugging at his hair, begging.
Only then did he pull back, lips and beard shiny with you, chest heaving, eyes wild with satisfaction.
“Fuck,” he breathed, crawling up your body, kissing your throat, your jaw, your mouth—letting you taste yourself on his tongue. “I’m never gonna get enough of you.”
Bucky stared at you like you were something sacred. Like he couldn't believe you were real. Like he was terrified this would disappear if he looked away.
His metal hand, now sleek and Wakandan-forged, cradled your cheek as his thumb swept across your skin. You leaned into the touch—there was nothing cold about it. Not anymore. Not when it was his.
He pressed his forehead to yours, breath ragged. “I didn’t think I’d ever get this again.”
“This?” you whispered, still breathless. “You mean… me?”
He nodded his head slowly. “Peace. Softness. Wanting something. Wanting you.”
You didn't say anything. You just kissed him again. Slow. Deep. Letting your lips speak all the things words couldn't. That he wasn't broken. That he wasn't just what they made him. That you saw him.
He exhaled like it was the first full breath he’s taken in years.
Then he reached down, wrapped a hand around his cock—still hard, still aching—and slid it through your slick folds. You were so wet for him, still pulsing, your thighs sticky with your own release and his from before. He groaned, the sound low and raw in his throat.
“Bucky…” you whispered, arching your hips toward him, needing him inside you again—slow this time, deep, drawn out until it’s unbearable.
“I’ve got you,” he murmured. “I need to feel you again.”
He lined himself up, one hand braced beside your head, the other gripping your hip—not to restrain, but to hold himself steady. He pushed forward, just the tip breaching you. You gasped at the stretch, and his eyes fluttered shut, jaw clenched so tight he might crack a tooth.
“Fuck… You’re still so tight,” he muttered, forehead pressed to yours again. “You feel like heaven.”
He inched in deeper, groaning as your walls clung to him, as if your body was reluctant to ever let him go. He kept his pace achingly slow, giving you time to feel every inch of him sliding inside—filling you again, this time without the rush. No frenzy. Just presence. Just him.
When he bottomed out, both of you froze.
He stayed there for a long breath, forehead against yours, breathing your air.
Then he began to move.
The rhythm was unhurried, sensual—his hips rolling in slow, deliberate thrusts. Deep and full, every stroke brushing places inside you that made your toes curl. His cock dragged against your walls like he was trying to leave an imprint, like he wanted your body to remember him.
Your fingers slid over his back, tracing the line of his spine, digging into his shoulder blades when a particularly deep thrust made you moan.
He smiled against your jaw. “Yeah… that’s it. I wanna hear you.”
He was whispering now—dirty things, soft things, things that sounded more like worship than filth.
“Feel so good wrapped around me… like you were made for me…”
“Can’t believe this is real. You—under me—letting me have you like this…”
“I’m not gonna rush this. Not when I’ve waited this long…”
And then he shifted—just slightly—and hit that perfect spot inside you that made your vision blur. You gasped, nails biting into his skin, and he groaned like he was unraveling.
He leaned back to look at you, watching your face as he moved inside you. The way your lips parted, your brows knitted, your hips lifted to meet his.
“You’re so beautiful like this,” he murmured. “So fucking beautiful.”
Your legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him deeper, keeping him close. He adjusted his angle, going deeper still, and you both moaned—low, guttural, lost in the feel of it.
The tension built again, slow and steady. Not a crashing wave this time—but a tide, rising and rising, until it’s all you could feel.
You were close. He knew it. He could feel you clenching around him, see your eyes fluttering, your moans growing more desperate.
“I’ve got you,” he whispered. “Come with me.”
And when you did—when you fell apart under him, soft and shaking, moaning his name like it was the only word you’ve ever known—he followed, hips stuttering, a strangled groan tearing from his throat as he spilled inside you for the second time that night, his body shuddering with the force of it.
He collapsed onto you gently, his weight warm, grounding. His metal arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you tight to his chest. He kissed your collarbone, your cheek, the corner of your mouth.
Neither of you spoke for a moment.
He didn’t move.
And neither did you.
Not for minutes. Maybe more.
The weight of his body on yours was grounding, not stifling—his arms wrapped around you like you were something he’d waited too long to hold, and now that he had you, he couldn’t let go.
You traced lazy, absent-minded circles over the back of his shoulder with your fingertips. Felt the faint line of the scars that connected to metal. A ridged edge from something long healed, but never really gone.
He sighed against your skin. A deep, almost trembling sound. Like the tension had finally broken loose from inside his chest.
“I keep thinking I’ll wake up in Wakanda again,” he murmured. “Like all this’ll vanish. The case, you… this.”
You turned your head toward him, your cheek brushing his. “It’s real.”
He nodded, barely.
“I didn’t think I deserved this,” he said. “Not after everything.”
You felt your throat tighten, but you didn’t speak. Just kissed the side of his head, soft and slow.
Eventually he shifted—easing onto his side beside you, never more than inches away. His arm draped over your waist, his leg still tangled with yours. His forehead pressed gently to yours as if he needed that last point of contact to stay grounded.
No space. No distance.
And still—neither of you let go.
Your fingers brushed gently along the metal of his forearm, slow and absent. The room was dim now, the only light coming from the hallway through the cracked door. His breathing had evened out, his eyes half-lidded, but you could tell he wasn’t asleep. Not yet.
“Bucky,” you murmured.
He hummed in response, barely moving.
“What are you gonna do now?”
He didn’t answer right away. You didn’t push.
Eventually, he exhaled. “I don’t know.”
You waited.
“I think Steve and Sam… they’re still going to do it. The work,” he said. “Even without the Avengers. Even without the titles. They can’t not help people.”
“And you?” you asked gently.
He turned his head, eyes meeting yours in the dark.
“I don’t think I want to fight anymore.”
There was no shame in his voice when he said it. Just exhaustion. Honesty.
You nodded, quietly. “Then don’t.”
He shifted a little closer, brushing his thumb over your hip.
“I just want to be,” he said, voice low. “Not a soldier. Not a weapon. Not someone to be fixed. Just… a person.”
Your heart tugged painfully at the simplicity of it. The longing buried in those few small words.
“Maybe,” you said after a moment, voice light but not careless, “you could stay in New York.”
Bucky didn’t respond at first. You felt him shift slightly, just enough to brush his nose against your hair.
“You’re from Brooklyn,” you added, teasing gently. “You’re practically built for rooftop fire escapes and overpriced bagels.”
That pulled a faint huff of laughter from him, the sound rumbling in his chest where it pressed against your cheek.
Then, softer—almost shyly: “I’ve taken a liking to Hell’s Kitchen.”
You smiled into the dark. “That so?”
He shifted, the tip of his nose brushing your forehead. “It’s loud, messy… smells like fried food and bad decisions most nights.”
You laughed—quiet, tired. “Accurate.”
“But it’s honest,” he added, voice softening. “People look you in the eye here. They don’t pretend not to see you.”
You swallowed, eyes on the ceiling. “Yeah. It’s rough around the edges, but it doesn’t lie to you.”
He was quiet for a beat. Then, “I need that. Somewhere that doesn’t look away when I walk by.”
You turned slightly to face him. “You don’t scare people here.”
“I used to.”
“You don’t scare me.”
His eyes found yours in the dark. There was something unguarded in them now—exhaustion, yes, but something gentler too. Something you hadn’t seen on his face since Berlin.
“Not even a little?” he asked.
You shook your head. “You’ve never scared me.”
He watched you a moment longer, like he was searching for a reason to disagree. But he didn’t find one.
The quiet was broken by the low buzz of your phone vibrating insistently from somewhere in the living room
You didn’t move. Just let out a soft groan and nuzzled further into the warmth of Bucky’s chest, tucking your face into the curve of his neck like you could block the whole world out.
“Just ignore it,” you murmured, lips brushing his skin. “It’s probably Matt. Again.”
Bucky’s hand slid slowly along your spine, his touch soft, deliberate.
“He’s been calling?”
You gave a faint nod. “And texting.”
There was a pause. Then Bucky pulled back just enough to look at you, brow furrowed.
“Texting?”
You opened one eye, smiling faintly at the confusion written across his face. “It’s a thing called voice typing, honey. Blind people use it. Revolutionary stuff.”
He huffed—quiet, but amused—and let his head fall gently back to the pillow.
“Still weird,” he mumbled. “Didn’t think he’d be that tech-savvy.”
You sighed, lifting your hand to lazily trace circles over his chest. “He’s not. Every message ends up with an accidental comma or two dozen typos.”
Bucky was quiet for a moment, his hand resting warm against your waist.
Then, almost reluctantly: “He was at Josie’s. When I left. I saw him.”
You blinked, but didn’t sit up.
“He looked… rough,” Bucky continued. “Like he’d been in a fight with a brick wall, and lost. Cuts, bruises. Said he’d been in an accident.”
You gave a small, tired laugh. “Matt’s always getting himself into accidents.”
“Does he?” Bucky asked, not pushing, just curious.
“Mmhm. Staircases, doorframes, the occasional wall,” you muttered. “Clumsy as hell.”
Bucky tilted his head slightly, lips brushing your hair. “He apologized to me. For not showing. Said he should’ve been there. That it wasn’t fair to me. Or you.“
You went quiet at that and after a moment, you sighed, resting your head more comfortably against Bucky’s chest.
“I’ll forgive him,” you said, voice softer now. “Sooner or later. I always do.”
Bucky’s hand paused on your back.
Then, carefully—like he wasn’t sure if he wanted the answer or not—Bucky asked, “You and him… were you ever a thing?”
You blinked, pulling back just enough to look at him. His tone was neutral, but you could see it in the tension around his jaw. The quiet way his eyes avoided yours for a beat too long.
Your brows pulled together. “What?”
He didn’t respond immediately, just glanced away toward the dark corner of the room like it might have the answer.
“You’ve been around us for a year,” you said, still trying to wrap your head around it. “You thought me and Matt were—”
“There’s obviously something,” he cut in, not defensive, just… honest. “There’s history.”
You watched him for a moment. Then sighed, laying your head back against his chest, cheek pressed to the space just beneath his collarbone.
“Of course there’s history,” you murmured. “We grew up together at Saint Agnes Orphanage. Sister Maggie basically drilled it into us that we were each other’s family. We were each other’s shadow for years.”
There was a pause. A breath of quiet between you.
“But,” you added, a wry smile tugging at your lips, “we’re also excellent at driving each other completely insane.”
That earned a small chuckle from him, low in his chest. His hand resumed that slow, absent stroke along your spine. But you could still feel it—that little line of worry sitting tight in his silence.
“I love him,” you said softly. “I do.”
His hand stilled again.
“But not like that. Not ever like that.”
The quiet stretched again. You thought maybe he’d fallen asleep.
Then, softly—not a question. Just a realization.
“You’re an orphan.”
You nodded slowly against his chest. “Yeah.”
There was another pause, longer this time.
His hand kept tracing that steady path along your spine. You could feel how the air around him shifted—not cold, not distant, just… deeper. Like he'd stepped into something personal without meaning to.
“Matt, Foggy, Karen…” you said softly, “they’re my only family.”
There was a pause. A soft breath between two heartbeats.
“Maybe not anymore,” Bucky said.
You stilled.
The air shifted again—warmer, somehow heavier—like the room had shrunk to only the space between you.
His hand didn’t stop its quiet movement across your back. His voice, when he spoke again, was softer. More certain.
“You were the first person to treat me like I wasn’t a machine. Like I wasn’t dangerous. You looked at me like I was still a man… even when I didn’t believe it myself.”
You didn’t move. Just listened.
“You didn’t try to fix me,” he went on. “You didn’t flinch. You didn’t pity me. You just… saw me. And that night in Berlin—when I was breaking—you didn’t pull away. You pulled me back.”
Your fingers tightened slightly against his side.
“That never left me,” he whispered.
And that’s when it slipped out—bare, breathless, and truer than anything you’d said all night.
“You make it really hard not to fall in love with you when you say things like that.”
It was barely above a whisper. But it landed heavy between you.
Bucky didn’t flinch.
He just looked at you for a long, aching moment. Eyes open. Jaw tight with something deeper than tension.
Then, quietly, like it cost him something—but he gave it freely anyway:
“Maybe that's not such a bad thing.”
You didn’t have time to respond.
Because his mouth was on yours again—slow, sure, steady. Nothing like before. This kiss didn’t burn. It settled. Deep into your chest, into the space where grief and guilt used to live. It didn’t ask for anything. It just was.
Because now, unlike that night, there was no looming mission. No stolen hours. No fight waiting outside the door.
Now, he was free.
And he had time.
All the time in the world.
With you.

Last Tribe A Day run cycle was today so I decided to combine them all to show the differences!
ID under the cut
[ID: Seven sketchy animated run cycles, all of the original dragon tribes from Wings of Fire. They alternate sides as they go down, starting with the top one on the left and the second on the right, and so on. The background is a blank white. Each dragon has shaded limbs to help see the differences while in movement. The right wing is the darkest shade, followed by the left wing (closest to the screen), the the right legs are the lightest shaded. Descriptions are in order from top to bottom:
Mudwing: Drawn in a dark red. The thickest dragon by far, opening is mouth in a smile as its front legs hit the ground. Its large wings have four toes as if they were a third set of talons, which is used as another set of legs while running. The wings lift off after the back legs. The entire body bobs with its weight while it runs, lunging with its back legs. One of its back legs disappears while it runs (oopsies) and its large tail flicks with the run.
Skywing: Drawn in a darker red. Much skinnier dragon with longer limbs and larger wings. Its large wings remain slight open above its border, slightly bobbing as it moves. The body itself doesn’t move up and down, instead just twisting with movement of its limbs. Its tail is a little stiff, again just moving up and down. As it runs, one foot touches and leaves the ground at a time.
Icewing: Drawn in a dark blue. Its body and shape is ridgid, its head swooping up and down like it lunges with every time its front talons land. Again, its wings are used as a third pair of legs, however they are mostly used after the other limbs are mid-air. Its talons are visibly sharper, as well as its wings. Sharp spines on the back of its neck and end of its tail are visible as well, which bobs with the movement.
Seawing: Drawn in a dark blue. A thicker, long dragon with short but thick limbs and webbed frills along its spine and sternum. It’s thick tail continues the up and down curve it’s body makes with every move, flicking the end of the frills as it does. Its wings are semi open above its body, bobbing with the running movement and tilting up and down as its spine curves.
Sandwing: Drawn in a warm brown. Long limbs but thicker than skywing. All four feet lift of the air when they’re closest during the run, each foot hitting the ground one at a time. It’s barbed scorpion-like tail bobs up and down at the end. Its wings are folded and stuff near its shoulders, tilted diagonally. A solid frill lines its spine, biggest at the back of its neck and above the back legs.
Nightwing: Drawn in a dark purple grey, and by far the stiffest run cycle. Thick body with short but thinner legs than mudwings or seawings. Spikes line the spine all along its body, longest at the back of the neck and back of the body. Its wings are held stiffly and slightly folded over its body. Other than the legs and tail, most of the nightwing barely moves as it runs, and its legs hit the ground in pairs, front legs then back legs. They don’t even cross between each other at the closest part in the run. Its mouth opens and closes as it runs, not in any particular expression, I was just bored.
Rainwing: Drawn in a muted dark green. By far the bounciest run. It has a thin body and a head I accidentally drew a little big. It’s three-toed wings are used as a third pair of legs, used most right before it’s front legs hit the ground. Its front legs hit the ground at different time, however the back legs hit and leave together. Its tail is by far the longest, curled at the end and slightly unraveling as it flicks up and down. Beneath the curved horns is a frill with two connections that slight opens and closes with the movement. It’s grin also opens and closes with the movement.
END ID]

꣑ৎ 𝑫𝑰𝑫 𝑰 𝑫𝑶 𝑮𝑶𝑶𝑫?

❝ VI ❞⠀
cw. nsfw oral (reader!receiving) clit play vi cums untouched m.list basically vi discovering she has a praise kink
dom!vi × subfem!reader
vi stood by the kitchen counter, slowly cutting the carrots you sweetly asked her to do..tonight you two decided to just stay in and help eachother cook....you didn't cook much - if anything vi was the one who liked wiping things up in the kitchen...she's good chef ..yes - but an easily distracted one, she'd get distracted by you or random stuff on her phone causing some things to be slightly burnt but still very edible.
she's watching the meat cook on the stove? no problem! but she would slowly get distracted by her phone and eventually walking to the living room while watching random tiktoks and gets confused by the burning smell lingering from the kitchen (soon realizing she hadn't watched the food and you two had to order take out instead)
"are you almost done?" your soft voice called out to your girlfriend, you were finally done with chopping potatoes and onions and decided to finally check on vi who was given the job to chop the carrots.
"uhhh just- uh about done yeah!" vi spoke as she quickly cut the last carrot wanting to impress you with her 'amazing' cooking cutting skills, placing both hands on her hips with a smile as she looked down at her masterpiece.
you peered over her shoulder observing her work..pursing your lips as you eyed the perfectly cut pieces of carrots on the cutting board, vi's blue powder eyes eyed your reaction with anticipation, small cocky smirk on her face - she knew cutting vegetables was never something you enjoyed.. you never could get the sizes correct..
you breathed out, mind going back to the potatos and onions you had just got done with realizing you cut yours way to big, your hand softly caresses vi's lower back, your mouth leaning to vi's ear.
"you did so good baby, this all looks delicious" you spoke with a soft smile before walking away completely missing vi's suddenly wide eyes and red flustered cheeks in result of your words, her lips pressing together hardly as her face was put in a small frown..her stomach having a huge pit of butterflies that seemed to come out of nowhere..
what the fuck?
vi head whipped to your figure by the stove, mixing around the broth as you added seasonings in it, you then go back to pick up your knife to dice some of the vegetables you had just cut...small focused pout on your face as you began to dice them to make them smaller sizes like vi's carrots.
usually vi would smile and tease at you for your actions but her eyebrows stayed frowned as she turned back to look at the carrots on the cutting board.
the tingling sensation didn't leave her chest and the butterflies in her stomach continued flapping around... she thought about your words - how such a small sentence could have a big affect on her....
and why did she like it so much..
second time was when she came home after a long day at the gym, throwing her gym back on couch and groaning at her sore limbs, rolling her shoulders back as she slammed her body against the couch with a sigh.
"baby?" vi's tired voice called out for you as she listened to any sound of you throughout the apartment, she began to smile once she heard your feet pattering against the floor as you ran into the living room
"vi?- oh you're back so early!" you exclaimed as you went behind the couch and gave her backside a hug over it "how was the gym?" you questioned kissing her neck.
vi groaned as she turned her head towards you, eyes flickered over your face before she answered back "good..i guess - I'm so fucking sore though"
you smiled at vi and stood up straight, your hands on her shoulders as you began to pressed down and massaged them causing vi to let out a deep groan "hmmm - that feels good.." vi groaned out putting her head forward.
"bet you were so good at the gym, hm? - that's why you're all sore huh?"
vi could feel her cheeks flush up at your words, freckled face going red... her stomach suddenly getting all bubbly as she swallowed thickly..she didn't know if it was because of her sore muscles, stressed body she couldn't help but feel pent up at your choice of words..and the way you said it..so...seductively?? or was that vi's brain tricking her...
it was such a simple sentence but it left her body with a pleasant tingly sensation
ignoring the pulsing in her boxers she swallowed
"ye-yeah - was a long day.."
the time she was sure she liked being praised was when she was going down on you one day, vi was stressed due to her work and wanted to relax..but it seemed like everything she did made her even more tense and she couldn't understand why...she just wanted to feel good and relax...
which lead her to eventually have her head between your legs, her tongue slowly lapping at your slick,wet cunt , her bandaged hands tightly gripping her thighs letting out soft moans whenever she heard you whine in pleasure.
her movement growing faster as her lips sucked your clit roughly - she wanted to feel your cum on her tongue..she wanted to swallow you whole if she could
"hmm - v-vi- fuck!" you moaned out as both hands pulled at her hair causing her to let out a groan at your actions, she roughly slapped a hand on your thigh causing you to yelp and flinch
her head moving up and down, side to side on your clit with her tongue out..blue half lidded eyes staring up at you... her hips sometimes buckling on the bed to ease the pulsing between her own thighs.
her boxers were definitely wet with her own slick, she could feel herself clenching around absolutely nothing which only caused her to groan even further, she then leaned back causing you to whine at the lost of contact between her lips and your wet cunt, she moved her hand off your thigh and around..
her fingers now on your pussy, one finger slowly swiping through your wet, sticky folds causing you to gasp as your hips twitched..it was almost like vi was entranced, her eyes staring at your cunt as her finger slowly swiped through it her mouth agaped at the sight
"vi-vi please.." you whined out, buckling your hips "hm fuck - please vi"
vi's fingers stop at your clit, she began softly circling it with the pads on her fingers causing you to let out a moan as you spread your legs wider.
vi's head leaned back down as her tounge then develed in you cunt, she could feel your slick walls around her pink muscle, she could feel you clenching around her
"hm f-fuck! vi feels so good- i- I'm so close please.." you choked out, your hand moving towards your own breast,massaging them as your thumbs touched your nipples "y-youre so..good - so good for me.." your breathed out to vi
"you're - fuck! - making me feel so good baby...you're so good.."
it seemed your words flickered something in vi, her cheeks flushing redder at your sudden praise, her hips buckling harder on the bed beneath her when she felt her own pussy clench, wanting attention more than anything
vi moaned out against your cunt, moving her hand that was rubbing at your clit faster, while keeping her tongue still inside you pulsing hole..she wanted - no..needed you to cum on her tongue
"fuck! - I'm gonna!"you let out a loud, pitched moan as you could feel yourself cum undone on vi's tongue , your whole body twitching as your hips buckled in vi's face.....what you didn't notice was vi's own hips buckling on the bed, twitching for few seconds than stopping, her moving her hand on your hip to squeeze it for comfort at she felt you cum in her mouth...feeling herself cum untouched in her boxers
as you both calmed down, vi removed her mouth from your cunt, licking you up before leaning her head on her lower stomach, cheek pressed up against you, she could hear you breath hardly as you came down from your high..she could still feel her hips twitch as she also came down from hers..her eyes closed and both hands caressing your hips..
she wanted to ask
had to ask
"did - ...did i do good?" vi muttered out..embarrassment taking over her body as soon as those words left her mouth before she could say anything else your voice was heard
"you always do so good for me...the only one who can make me feel this good" you breathed out in response
the tingly sensation was back in vi's stomach as she heard your praise..cheeks pink as she closed her eyes, softly kissing your lower stomach in response.

OK LISTEN!! WHO ARE THE BLLK CHARACTERS WHO WILL SET THE WORLD ON BURN FOR YOU? BY THE WAY, I ADMIRE YOUR WORK❤️🔥🫶
“𝐢’𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮”
a/n: THANK YOU SO MUCH MWAH MWAH
btw this prompt reminded me of the song LET THE WORLD BURN by chris grey so ofc i had to use it as the title
and i interpret “i would set the world on fire for you” as extremely down bad and possessive energy… so that’s what i wrote the headcanons about
ft. kaiser michael, shidou ryusei, itoshi rin, itoshi sae, mikage reo, karasu tabito, kunigami rensuke
kaiser michael
kaiser is deranged in love. like “touch her and you die in 4K” deranged.
you so much as sigh in a sad tone and he’s like “name. address. blood type.”
would burn down an entire stadium if someone catcalled you. he won’t even blink.
wraps an arm around your waist and stares down anyone who looks at you too long. smug as hell.
“you see someone else? cute. they’ll be ashes by morning.”
kisses you possessively, like he’s marking territory. dramatic. always wants an audience.
buys you stuff just so people know someone can afford to worship you.
jealous of inanimate objects. “that blanket gets to be around you all night? unfair.”
will 100% tattoo your name somewhere stupid like over his heart or on his ring finger. “it’s not obsession, it’s devotion.”
shidou ryusei
no thoughts, just “who hurt my baby???” as he sprints into battle.
does not care about consequences. you told him that person was rude? BANG their tires are gone.
kisses you like he’s on the verge of losing his mind. tongue, teeth, desperation. he needs you.
death-grip on your thigh in public. leans into your neck and breathes, “mine.”
insane levels of down bad. if you look cute, he’s on his knees barking. literally.
you say “i want this,” and now the whole mall is yours. “baby wants? baby gets.”
gets upset if you're too polite to people. “what’s with that smile, huh? you wanna die for them or what?”
your name is his phone password, tattoo idea, safe word, AND ringtone.
itoshi rin
silently simmering with rage when someone even slightly inconveniences you.
doesn’t talk shit. just handles it. and by “handles it,” i mean permanent erasure from society.
down bad in the scariest way. he won’t say “i need you,” but if you even joke about leaving, he freezes.
pulls you close by the collar and whispers “don’t test me.” you’re the only softness in his life.
his world is just you, football, and the pile of people he’s ready to fight for looking at you wrong.
if you cry, he goes silent and leaves the room. not because he’s heartless. because he’s planning someone’s downfall.
possessive in public. hand on your waist. glares that say “touch her and you'll lose a limb.”
doesn’t believe in second chances for your enemies OR for anyone who flirts with you.
“they don’t get to see you smile. not like that. that’s mine.”
itoshi sae
dangerously calm when jealous. but you know it’s bad when he goes quiet quiet.
his version of setting the world on fire? controlling every outcome so your life is perfect and your enemies fail publicly.
you think he’s chill? he’s not. he’s been watching your ex’s linkedin profile for weeks. “just waiting for the right moment.”
pulls you in by the chin when someone looks your way and gives you a long kiss on purpose so they get the message.
“no one else touches you. you get that, right?”
wants your lipstick on his collar and your scent on his hoodie. it’s a warning.
he will show up to your haters' events, uninvited, just to watch their life crumble from the front row.
low-key manipulative. makes you feel so special you’ll never want to leave. ever.
“you’re all i have. so no one else gets to have you. period.”
mikage reo
most unhinged part? he looks polite and composed doing it. he smiles while planning war.
"they hurt your feelings? alright. new mission: emotionally ruin them and buy the company they work for."
will ruin someone's financial life because they looked at you wrong. “whoops. guess they’re bankrupt now.”
literally has a “spoiling you” budget larger than most countries’ GDP.
possessive in a delicate way. he’s not clingy, he’s just always there. pulling you into his lap. whispering in your ear. slipping his card into your pocket like “go wild, baby.”
kisses your hand, your temple, your shoulder – subtle marks of ownership. especially in public.
gets jealous of people breathing near you, but keeps it cool… until he doesn’t.
“oh, you think you can take her from me? that’s cute. security, escort him out.”
buys the rights to your favorite book/movie/show so he can cast himself as your love interest. dead serious.
makes everything about you. “why start wars when i can end them with your smile?”
and god forbid you call him your “boyfriend” in public. “no, no. say ‘future husband.’ say it right.”
karasu tabito
smart, manipulative, and terrifyingly efficient when someone wrongs you.
smiles in public. burns people in private.
down bad in a playful way until someone makes you cry. then it’s scorched earth.
“you deserve better. so i became better. for you. but they? they get hell.”
lowkey wants you dependent on him. not in a creepy way, just in a “nobody else will love you like this” way.
hand on your thigh while he’s whispering in your ear at parties: “they’re staring. should i say something, baby?”
makes it his business to know everyone you hate. because now he hates them too.
will absolutely send you a selfie with your enemy crying in the background. “justice served.”
kunigami rensuke (post-wild card)
he tries to be reasonable, he really does, but the minute you get hurt? his whole moral compass shatters.
the definition of controlled rage. he holds it in until he’s alone, then starts punching walls and pillows.
when he’s possessive, it’s like protective dog energy. he’s literally hovering over you.
doesn’t even let people near you in crowds. hand always on your back, guiding you like a damn bodyguard.
stares down people who flirt with you. doesn’t say a word, just stares.
kisses you slow, deep, possessive, because he needs you to know he means it.
if someone cheats or lies to you? “i’ll make them regret ever existing.” and he does. mercilessly.
looks at you like you're the only good thing in the world. “you’re mine. and i don’t share.”

Punishment | Luka x Fem!Reader
After some issues, your 'secret relationship' with Luka got revealed by the Aliens. The both of you had expected a harsh punishment, and that you got - just a little different than initially expected. warnings » fem!reader, worshipping, voyeurism, sort of public sex?, toy usage, bondage, overstimulation, orgasm denial, a ruined pair of pants, came untouched? also sort of again, very little mentions of death, torture and so on, body parts going numb
Luka wasn’t a weak man…but, oh, the man he became when it came to you? How could he not worship the ground that you walk on? What kind of man would he be, if he didn’t do anything for his pretty little girlfriend. Your entire relationship was a secret thing, no one could know, no one would ever know. Or so you thought.
But god, if you would’ve known what they’d do to the both of you as soon as they found out? Maybe your little relationship would’ve been a tad more public.
Aliens loved one thing — they loved to torture their humans or so called pets. Make them do stuff solely for the alien’s pleasure, treat them as their slaves, punish and push them till death was near. The both of you had overstepped a line, disobeyed a rule, an important one as it is. So punishing you was only fair, right?
This was only fair, you thought, or at least you tried, as the little bud on your clit made you squirm and thrusts your hips in the air without even knowing. Legs were tied to both the armrests of the chair you sat on.
Well sort of.
Actually you sat on the comfy lap of your pretty blonde boyfriend. His arms tied together behind the chair, while his legs were tied to the chair itself. His rock hard boner was long forgotten, at least by you, but Luka could feel his boner so well, it was like he forgot how to feel anything else. All of your senses were overwhelmed as you chased your high, for what felt like the 5th time tonight. While the blonde hadn’t cum once, understandably frustrated by now.
The also long forgotten audience of aliens in front of you, would make fascinated sounds whenever you let out a particularly high pitched moan, or again, squirted all over your boyfriends pants. All eyes on the two of you.
Luka has never been this whiny before. Who would’ve thought this charming man could turn into such a pathetic boy, once he’s being denied of what he loves the most. All he could do was bite into your neck, lightly thrust his hips up for any kind of friction. But it wasn’t enough. No, he just couldn’t cum like this. It was driving him crazy. All he wanted was to feel your honeysweet warmth engulf him, take him in and finally let him fuck all that pent up energy out. The blonde's head was spinning, he felt like he was gonna die if he didn't get any relief soon.
You cursed out his name over and over again. A hint of guilt washing over you considering how you took all the pleasure for yourself, even though there wasn’t really another option. “Ughh…gonna…fffuckk..cumming again!” Your words were like a soothing song to his ears. No matter how bad he wanted to finish, hearing you cum like this, was just getting him one step closer to his own release.
The buzz of the vibrator ran through your whole body by now. Your once intelligent brain turning into mush. “Have such a beautiful lady…on top of me..haaah..” He cooed at you. Luka sounded so out of breath. You bet on everything, he looked so good right now. Covered in beads of sweat, his eyes almost teary, while his usually neatly kept hair was a mess.
After your orgasm had successfully washed over you, your hips went limb. The pool between your legs, including the vibrator strapped against it, was now engulfing the blonde’s bulge. Luka’s hips immediately jerked up, he was chasing that pleasure, chasing the friction that little vibrator provided him. Oh, and just in that moment, Hell let loose inside of him. Built up saliva slowly ran down his chin, his mouth wide agape. At the sudden change in his behavior, you slowly turned your head back.
His clothed dick repeatedly bumped against your entrance and clit covered by the vibrator. If you hadn’t been so terribly overstimulated, this might’ve been heaven. “Oh…Oh! My pretty Darling….Shit..Oh gonna cum…gonna finally…!” And that’s when he went still. His bulge firmly pressed against your cunt, as he ruined his pants. God, and he was coming loads. All that built up tension releasing all at once. In between your hazy thoughts, you could hear the crowd of aliens cheering, almost over-sounding Luka’s ragged breaths in your ear. You felt his legs tremble, the overwhelming pleasure slowly fading.
In all this shock, overstimulation and pleasure, you didn’t even notice that the buzzing had stopped. It allowed you and Luka to catch your breath. It was finally over? You hoped. Maybe you could finally take a warm bath and soot-
bzzzz Oh.

jinx and reader getting caught by vi🙏
hi….. first request i write.. its been awhile and this is months old but i needed something light to come back Lol
i had skibidi anon to back me up and fix some stuff to it so say “thank u skibidi anon” in the comments ☝️☝️
cw! no tops or subs just horny teenagers boob play getting caught (duh)
men dni. 900 wc.
it wasn’t planned, if so you would've worn a cuter bra.
it was just supposed to be a simple hang out, gossiping about the people you know, or maybe watch a movie or some show— ugh, you didn’t even know how it started, who kissed the other first.
your limbs were tangled up on a knot, cuddling on the old cranky couch. her lips moving fervently against yours, relishing on the way you squirmed and tried to follow her chaotic pace.
“g-gods.. jinx—” you panted, breaking the kiss only for her to keep hers attached to your skin, kissing down your jaw to your neck. it tickled, it made you giggle and shiver. “… calm down.”
she mumbled in response, making strings of nonsense, she was so eager… so greedy. she’s been wanting to get her hands on you for a while now, and clearly she didn’t want to let you go.
the kisses turned into light nibbles, your head tilting back involuntarily with a low hum. you praise her with a soft caress of your fingers to her scalp.
“‘want you s’bad...” she spoke out, voice muffled against your skin, her hands feeling up your waist, to your hips. she explored every inch of your sides with her rough palms and savored your neck like a starved woman.
it was so hard for you to stay quiet, your stifled noises that could be heard across the room, you were grateful that no one was home, either way, you would’ve still needed to hold your breath to muffle the soft moans that were ringing pleasantly on jinx’s ears.
her lips trailed back up to yours and you eagerly welcomed her with your tongue out, meeting hers messily. the sound of the sloppy kiss made you feel much more filthy, the mere thought of being vulgar with jinx made you moan particularly… loud. she bit on your lower lip and pulled you towards her with a cheeky grin, making her feel so smug.
she tugged at your cute top, silently requesting. with a light huff, feigning annoyance, you took it off, you would’ve thought that she’d place her hands on your breasts in an instant.
but no, she just stared at them in awe for a long moment, it slowly made you feel self-conscious even if it was obvious that she liked them. In a failed attempt to hide them by wrapping your arms around, it made them jiggle for a bit.
then there it is�� she quickly puts her hands on you, squeezing lightly as if testing the waters, your approval is silent as you lean into her touch.
she murmurs a praise with the raspy voice you’ve grown to love, acknowledging how beautiful you are before kissing you again. it was perfect, her hands, her lips, she made you feel… wanted. you were returning the feeling, fidgeting with the loose strands of her cropped shirt.
“ya want somethin’, toots?” she chuckled breathlessly, trailing her lips down your neck again. you chuckled along with her, feeling slightly embarrassed at the call out. “i wanna see you too.” you murmured, tugging at her top more firmly. she didn’t tease you much, lifting it up and off her body, leaving her chest exposed.
unlike you, she was so cheeky, cupping her right boob and pinching her nipple as your mouth watered at the sight, “fuck—“ within a second, your lips were attached again, hands caressing and groping whatever inch of flesh both of you could reach.
“like that?”
“y-yeah, just like that.”
you giggled, continuing to flick your tongue on her tit. there was a certain satisfaction in making her breathless and squirmy. the way she pulled at your hair was a bit painful, it was overcame by the pleasure of having her flavor on your mouth—though you still haven’t tasted her.
but you wouldn’t, not today.
“oh shit,” you heard a female voice, turning your head to find a pink haired girl standing by the front door with an amused smile. embarrassment hits you like a truck, bringing a furious blush on your adorable flabbergasted face as you look back at jinx. you were a tangled mess of limbs, your lips connected by a string of saliva.
“you said she wouldn’t be home in hours!” you exclaimed in a hushed voice, rushing to grab your top and cover yourself. jinx only snickered, she also had a much softer blush but there was no regret whatsoever.
you could hear the soft laughter of her sister, who was mindlessly making herself at home —obviously—, she gave you some space to get dressed as she walked over to the kitchen.
“i said i thought she wouldn’t be home in hours,“ she kept chuckling, just as amused as her sister at your obvious distress. she was kind enough to help you, though. “no need to be shy, it’s just my sis.”
you shot her a glare, before averting your eyes to not meet any of theirs as you try to fix your hair, slapping her hand when she tried to reach you again. you weren’t mortified, but it was still embarrassing. you didn’t even meet her sister formally! and this was her first impression of you, she’d think you’re—
“so, are you dating?”

While it's on the mind, here's my wings of fire designs too. Not as much of a brainrot but still fun. Bad take or am I cooking with some of them? Let me know in the comments. Here's some (too many) notes:
I really liked the original designs when I first read these books, but I wanted to try my hand at uhh changing them a little. Mainly making them more distinct from each other (even if this irreversibly breaks canon XD)
-Sandwings live in a mixed savannah and desert habitat and have bodies adapted for resource scarcity, effective hunting, and heat dispersion. They have large ears to help cool off and listen for stuff. They can fly, but pretty weakly in comparison to some others, mainly using flight to navigate their large territories , get onto cliffs, and scan for prey. They typically climb up somewhere and then jump off. They are built like felines, and use a solo stalk and rushdown hunting approach coupled with a sting instakill. They live in family groups, with a ‘queen’ title going to the alpha female 💪 and everyone else hunting and living together. They are immune to their own venom, which acts very similarly to a scorpion’s but in a massive dose, causing numbness, breathing difficulties seizures, and eventually death. It takes time for them to make more once they’ve expended the dose, so they rarely use it outside of hunting or life/death situations (though the prospect of being stung is very scary to everyone else, and they will instinctively raise their tail when startled or threatened)
-Skywings live in high mountainous and forested areas, with some living in the lowlands. They are powerful flyers and very acrobatic due to their tail, though this comes at the expense of their agility on land and the strength of their non wing arms. They have long legs with powerful talons for grasping prey midair or snatching them from off the ground. They hunt and live alone unless they have a partner. Communities are made up of a loose group of related individuals who rarely collect in one place at once(queendom structure are a more recent and ‘unnatural’ thing for them, but very useful for organizing military efforts and empire building). They stay aloft for long periods of time and usually only land on their cliff homes. They need a sprint or a takeoff point to get flying, though. Unlike every other tribe, they have a noticeable difference between male and female (being a nose horn and red face for males.) males are prized for these features, and having a pretty husband is seen as an attractive trait for a queen.
-Seawings live along the coast. They normally only venture out of the water for trade and other resources, since they can get everything else they need underwater. Their large neck houses gills protected by thick pads that will close when on land, while their lungs are in their mid chest. Primarily adapted to swimming, they have very strong tails and webbed fingers and toes. They will also use their wings to steer and paddle, as well as manipulate things their other arms can’t reach. They will hunt in packs, corralling fish and other animals into a kill zone. They are very clumsy on land and in the air with their short limbs and weak wings. Their bioluminescent spots can be flashed for communication, and compared to the other tribes they have pretty poor vocal ability (due to the gills in their neck getting in the way) and will supplement with other spot/sign signals. Every individual has unique spots, though their glowing ones come in consistent numbers, sizes, patterns, and places on their body so they can use them for common language across their group. However, Different groups from different parts of the ocean have different numbers of spots in different areas, making cross communication via only spots difficult. Their whiskers help navigate in close or dark areas, and are seen as a status symbol.
-Mudwings live in warmer areas, specifically marshes and other wetlands (though sometimes in some forested areas too). Their thick armor helps protect them from other mudwings/competition, while also acting as an insulator that allows them to easily venture a wider range than other tribes from warm climates. Physically, they are the strongest and bulkiest. They typically use the element of surprise and their overwhelming size and strength to take down large prey. However, unlike other tribes they tend to eat more plants too due to their large size (all of them are technically omnivores, but meat makes up the dominant part of their diet because of their energy needs and their ancestors). They are also the poorest flyers out of the bunch, having sacrificed that for size and strength, though they can do short bursts similar to a chicken to get to hard to reach areas or to surprise attack prey faster than them, they’re similar to hippos and are adapted to living in the water too, using powerful webbed arms to propel themselves and dig through the mud, and their large lung capacity to stay submerged and hidden for long periods. Their nostrils, ears, and eyes are located near the top of their head, which also gives more room for Tusks. They use these to root around occasionally defend themselves. Tusk maintenance and appearance is very important to them. They live in large groups of families in the same area and have more communal social standards than other tribes.
-Rainwings live in tropical areas and have a very small habitat range. This has caused them to look and act very different than most tribes, leading to poor perception of them. They use their long claws, strong grasping fingers, and prehensile tail to climb around, and are pretty much arboreal. They have wings meant for quick takeoffs and flight in dense areas, and are pretty agile and swift. They and aren’t that great at sustained flight or dealing with high altitudes and winds though . Their frill is delicate and used for emoting (probably originally for mating purposes) Their skin is packed with chromatophores that they can use to match their surroundings, and they have loose ridges in their skin that they can raise to enhance the effect. Their skin is constantly changing color due to their brain activity, though they have set patterns/colors for emotions and communication. They can also choose to focus on organizing their skin patterns to get coordinated colors and patterns, since normally it’s pretty disorganized. They eat a lot more plants due to their environment and due to social standards, but arent herbivores. They have the ability to spit acid out of hollow retractable fangs, and use precise shots of this coupled with their camouflage ability to get prey. They can also spray it at higher velocities for defense and offense, though this expends their supply much quicker. They don’t recognize a queen in their communities and are fairly disorganized into different cooperative groups.
-Nightwings are the result of a group that split off onto an island, though the volcanic activity on their original island escalated to the point where they had to emigrate. They are great fliers, using their wings and tail extensions to travel great distances to track prey and ambush from above. When on land, they aren’t particularly fast or strong, and instead are built for persistence. Their hunting tactic involves getting an initial bite onto prey, then waiting for it to succumb to infection. Their spines, horns, muscles, and talons are mainly for defending their kill from other Nightwings rather than hunting it in the first place. As a result of this competition, they aren’t naturally very social like other tribes, They are mainly nocturnal.
-Icewings live in the colder tundras and snowy forest environments. They are pack hunters, using their speed and persistence to take down prey, similar to wolves. Their long overlapping scales help them trap heat and survive in the cold, and while the guy i drew here is pretty skinny they also store fat much more readily than other tribes. Their bowed wings are mainly used to swoop in in prey, and like falcons they often take steep dives to grapple it. Their antlers only grow in at a certain time in the year, but royalty will wear embellished artificial ones in the meantime.
#my two vasly different dragon media interests#the httyd book dragons are also intelligent but unlike the wof ones i never imagine them wearing clothes and theyre never referenced#using tools or really wearing jewlery or building things they live in packs like animals but many of them can carry on a convo with a human#comparatively id say that the main difference is that the wof have a distinct grouping and relationship between the types of dragon while#in the httyd books those guys are just Everywhere and Everything#and also Humans are a major part of httyd while theyre just kinda weird little creatures in wof#wof art#wings of fire#wof#drawing

Okay… I hope this isn’t weird but I really do love cannibal kinks and the symbolism of giving oneself to the other for them to live but also… I like it when they’re deranged as hell.
I remember you talking about Ghost and how he’d definitely survive the apocalypse by going to cannibalism when food runs out and you’re so, so right.
I want to say he doesn't even wait for food to run out but that would be a lie, the man is utilitarian to his core. He stockpiles dry food, canned goods, he butchers the cow and deer he buys from farmers outside the city, stores them in his deep freeze (the one with its own generator). He has meat for months, rations for years, and yet as soon as shit hits the fan his shitty apartment in the city doesn't cut it the way he thought it would. There are too many people, too much noise, too much chaos. Not the sort he relishes in, the kind that crashes into buildings like a wave, attempting to shake their foundations like the horns of Jericho. It's a chaos he knows, the kind that always follows political upheaval, the kind that makes leaving the city feel less risky than sticking around.
So he packs what he can into his car, and to be fair he can pack quite a bit in there, and he gets the fuck out of the city. Takes the back roads, avoids highways and the city center. He pats himself on the back for getting something suited to rough terrain, remembers Soap complaining that he was bringing the military home with him. He finds a cabin out in the middle of the woods, remembers seeing a listing for it on some bnb website while the internet was still up, and hopes no one else had the same idea.
He avoids opening the freezer he managed to stuff in the back seat, digs a cup into a sack of beans, eats them just barely cooked while he checks the ropes on the generator strapped to the top of his car. He chews on jerky while he drives, tries to remember the farms in the area, reasons over whether or not he could nab a cow even just for the milk. Considers setting rabbit traps, nearly grabs a duck from a pond he drives past for the eggs, thinks better of it when he has the poor creature by the neck and isn't sure where he's supposed to put it in his crammed car.
All this to say he's fucking exhausted by the time he reaches the dark little cabin. Somehow all that sleep deprived insanity reaches a peak spotting your little sedan sitting between the trees, the flutter of someone peeking through the curtains... he hardly waits to unload his own vehicle before breaking the door down to see what a suddenly merciful God has granted him. Toys, he thinks to himself as you spit and kick and scream for someone to help, knew I forgot something.
The skin around his eye is starting to darken by the time he gets dinner on the table. Most of the fight went out of you at the promise of food, and you'd even been kind enough to help him get the freezer inside once he'd gotten the generator running. He'd have to get some of the trees around the place limbed up so the solar can keep it running, but he'll worry about that tomorrow.
"What's this," You sniff at the meat sitting nicely charred on your plate.
"Don't remember 'is name." Ghost smiles, the scars around his lips tugging the skin twisted. You grimace and push the plate away, your lip starting to wobble for a second time. "Eat," He tell you, "or it'll be you next."
You give him a long searching look, likely trying to see if he's serious. You must not like what you find, because you drag the plate close and start to pick at the meat. You do your best to hide the gag that nearly slips past your lips, choking down distinctly inhuman meat. Oh well, Ghost thinks, be easier to get you to eat it later.

Two Gods, One Heart [Loki x Reader]
A link my Masterlist is HERE Summary: Loki comes good on a promise to have two of himself bed you. (w/c 2.4k) Warnings: 18+ Minors DNI. Smut. Female Reader. MMF. Language. Oral. PV. Anal. Some Loki/Loki stuff.

“Come to bed,” Loki said, his long limbs stretched across the sheets.
One leg was draped over the side of the mattress, the other drawn up. His eyes glittered through shadow as they trailed over the curves of your body.
Two hands rested behind his head while another, familiar hand, worked his cock.
You swallowed, steadying against the doorframe. How ever many times Loki had whispered the details of your filthy fantasy into your ear; seeing promises made flesh hit different.
The loose babydoll covering your skin suddenly felt very tight.
“Keeping us waiting…” a second Loki chided, followed by a series of crisp tuts.
A shiver of arousal skated across your flesh as their voices mingled like cinders swirling up to an open, navy sky.
“Should we be offended?” The second Loki looked at the first, and their eyes narrowed lightly at the same moment. “Our love is adjusting…” the first said. In tandem, they smirked, before the first Loki’s head fell back with a groan. The second had tightened the grip on his cock, fist bobbing fluidly as amusement danced in his eyes and he swiped his thumb around the tip with targeted ease.
It was impossible to tell which one was the god you’d fallen in love with; which one you’d divulged your deepest secrets to, which one you’d comforted in darkness while he struggled with his past.
The two of them were identical except for the style of their hair; their silvery skin shimmering in the glow of a dozen candles. Their muscles flexed in all the ways you knew, distinguishable only by the fact that one’s onyx hair spread against the pillow while the other was tied up in a knot, several thick waves falling to his shoulders.
Loki said it didn’t matter, that the duplicate was a mirror image of his body and mind at that exact moment. ‘A breathing mirage who loves you as I do.’ And himself, it seemed.
The Loki propped on his side, working the other, turned fractionally towards you. You licked your lips, clenching immediately with a warm slip flushing between your legs. “Fuck us,” he growled like a command. His tongue nipped over the curve of his lower lip, dragging it between his teeth. “I fear we’re rather desperate to have you.”
The first Loki’s back arched from the bed, his eyes flying open in momentary terror. “Don’t waste it,” he snapped at himself as the second Loki’s thumb circled the tip of his heavy cock, slick with pre-cum. “Perhaps I just want her for myself…You could watch?” The first Loki’s chest rumbled in a guttural growl, wrenching the hand from his manhood. Of course they’re competitive. At least he was consistent.
The second Loki rolled on to his back, sliding the hand wet with his duplicate’s arousal down his stomach and beginning to tease himself. Your bare feet drew across the floor and mounted the bed, both Lokis’ propping themselves upright as you settled between them. “As we discussed?” the first asked, all sincerity. There was nothing but love in his voice. It's that one. That's the real one. You nodded, eyes sliding between them.
The second trailed a finger from below your ear down the curve of your neck, his lips ghosting the tip of your shoulder. “Then so it shall be,” he said. No, wait...that's the real one.
The world shifted as the second Loki guided you on your back, the first scooting down the bed and settling between your spread thighs. His hands slid down your legs, hooking beneath, his tongue tracing a soft path along your slit.
“Loki,” you groaned, and the one behind you whispered, “Good girl,” as his fingertips played with your nipples through chiffon. You gazed up at him, mind spinning. The points of his jaw threw shadows across the sharp planes of his face, eyes glimmering with black delight. One of your hands crept to the scalp of the god buried between your thighs, the other reaching up to hook in the hair of the one above. If you died at this moment; you’d die happy.
Your breaths grew short under the tender laps of Loki’s tongue: every flick against your clit, every suck between the flat licks that slipped against your sex.
“She’s close,” the one above you murmured, working your nipples, his breath hot on your neck. He moaned your name softly, praise dripping from his lips.
“Oh my god…Loki,” you gasped in a thin, fragile voice, back arching. The man between your legs let out a muffled grunt against your cum slipping against his mouth. You reached forward, burying your hands in his hair and drawing him up into a messy kiss. “My turn,” the one behind you hummed, and the mattress creaked under their weight. You were aware of a carefully coordinated shift as the Loki kissing you shuffled up your body. His lips broke away, and then he was towering above you with his thighs spread on either side of your chest; cock in his hand, stroking leisurely. Your palms slid up his iron-muscled thighs, golden in candlelight. And then, the second Loki’s tongue slipped inside your cunt. Your nails dug into the femurs of the Loki above.
His head fell back with a hiss, a mess of dark hair cascading around his shoulders. The hard cock bobbing between his legs tapped against your cheek and you immediately curled your fingers around it and guided it to your lips. Loki gurgled as you swallowed him, sucking gently in time with the second god’s expert tongue slide across your pussy. The two of them moaned in unison.
You wondered if they felt the same sensations; if one transferred to the other, and if the god hovering above with his cock in your throat could taste your fresh, liquid arousal welling in the other’s mouth.
The Loki towering with his hair falling free cradled the back of your head as mewls of orgasm vibrated against the velvet skin of his length.
“G-good, f-fuck, Darling,” he muttered as your nails scraped down his obliques. The tongue caressing your swollen, slippery sex vanished—but then a pair of large hands slid over your own. The second Loki appeared at the first’s shoulder, resting his chin on the ropes of muscle starting to strain under the effort of holding back blowing his load into your mouth. “Don’t be greedy,” the second murmured: dark, dirty. You released the cock from your mouth with a slurp, and its master frowned, panting heavily. “I’m giving her what she wants.” The second Loki snorted, before pulled the first’s earlobe between his teeth in the way that made your lover tighten with desire. “I think we both know what she wants,” he whispered, and both sets of eyes locked on yours. A thrill swelled between your legs with wicked force. “Yes, you do,” you said, and both Lokis’ eyes glinted with a mischievous spark. They moved like a dance, sprawling elegantly on either side of your body.
You kissed one deeply, and then the other, settling on your left side facing the Loki with hair spilling over his chest like ink. Your hands tangled in his hair, kissing him wildly. His hand slid down your waist, pulling you flush to his abdomen; cock pressed tight to your stomach, the growl in his throat filling your mind with impossible filth. But nothing’s impossible with him, you thought, as the second Loki’s lips fastened to your neck from behind. Another hand skated over your ass, massaging gently. You swung a leg over the hips of the Loki in front of you; his greedy fingertips immediately sinking into the meat of your thigh. The tip of his manhood slid between your folds. “Are you ready, love?” he whispered. The Loki behind you paused, placing a gentle kiss between your shoulder-blades. You nodded, searching between your bodies and gripping his cock. It slid inside you like liquid, and the breath left your lungs.
‘Made for me,’ Loki always said. And it was true. The expression of the god in front of you tremored, lips parted in pleasure before his beautiful eyes fluttered shut. Your cunt stretched around him, swallowing the size, gripping him in a slickened, silken vice. The Loki sheathed inside you stilled, his hips trembling against yours with the determination not to fuck you senseless. That wasn’t the plan—not yet. He bit his lip as your peripheral vision glowed green.
You turned fractionally, seeing the second Loki empty a small, ornate phial of oil into his palm and warm it between his fingers. “Relax, love,” he murmured as a hand slipped between your cheeks, fingers playing against your ass. You clenched around the root of the first Loki’s cock. “Gods…” he groaned, and the one behind you chuckled. “Hold on,” he said, as his fingers played at your ass. One digit slipped inside, and then two. The tender wildness set your nerves alight, and you began to thrust on Loki’s cock, desperate for movement. A moan caught in his throat. “Wait, love,” he choked, steadying your hip and quieting your whine with a kiss. His tongue slipped inside your mouth, thumb playing at the angle of your jaw while the Loki behind you scissored his fingers: in, and out. “She’s ready,” he purred. The lover holding you pulled his mouth away, sucking on your bottom lip. He winked. “I don’t think she’ll ever be ready.” You smiled, turning to the one behind you as his hand slid over your thigh. Feeling down his body, your fingers curled around the second Loki’s cock at the moment you squeezed your cunt around the first’s. Both of them hissed in unison, and you almost came from sound alone.
The second, familiar manhood pressed against your asshole, slipping against the Asgardian oil. You took a deep breath, following the usual routine, as Loki let you shift backwards until he breached. The stomach flush to your spine spasmed, a sharp gasp splitting the air as you slid down his shaft and the Loki in front of you shuffled closer, brushing his nose against yours. “You’re doing so well,” he murmured. “Isn’t she?” “F-fuck…” the one behind you stuttered, “Yes. Yes…” “Hold on,” the Loki deep in your cunt goaded to his duplicate, echoing the previous jibe. “Don’t ruin the fantasy for her before it’s even begun.” In lieu of words, the Loki behind you dragged his cock from your ass, teasing, stretching, before sliding back in. An obscene sound rattled in your throat as the first Loki rolled his hips, his effortlessly liquid thrusts stroking your g-spot. “Made for us,” the Loki behind you murmured, thrusting gently.
With every gentle slap of their skin, another plane of reality melted. Kisses slid one into the next: from the front, from behind. Your hands roamed over their bodies as they cradled you, suspended in syrupy desire, their mouths taking turns over your skin as twisting moans filled the room.
You didn’t think it was possible to feel this aroused, this full, this safe. Orgasm wasn’t a peak; it was a wave—foaming beneath the soles of your feet as you rode it across a sea of their need. You lost count after four.
Sweat slid between the three bodies on the bed, one folding into another as they fucked you, wringing their name from your lips in every conceivable octave. “Come inside me,” you sobbed, feeling the next climax boiling in your blood. Both Lokis’ breaths hitched. The one behind you sank his teeth into your shoulder while the first palmed your breast upward before slipping a hand between your bodies, circling your clit. Loki’s voice at the best of times was enough to send you over the edge, but hearing two of him in the throes of ecstasy was too much to bear.
Their breaths became more urgent, the thrusts sloppier, the sounds of your bodies driven by some unquenchable need shifting into its final gear. Loki, buried in your ass, fastened his hand at your hip; pulling you onto the base of his cock again, and again, and again. The god buried in your pussy trembled, his jaw clenching, spirals of hair sticking to his forehead. His eyes were wild, pumping up into your cunt with targeted, lethal ease. Fuck, you were so wet. Cum coated the insides of your thighs, slipping against each buck of his hips.
And then, they splintered.
You’d been so excited earlier you’d forgotten to check if he’d made sure the silencing enchantment was in place. But it was too late now, and to be honest…you didn’t care. Your only regret was you couldn’t see them both at the same time, so you glanced between them, drinking in the sight of their faces screwed up and pleasure wrenching from them in violent, guttural sounds. Twin sets of fingers sank deep into your curves, their sobs of your name ebbing like snow melting into hard, winter earth. True to form, neither Loki stopped the churn of their hips as they came; reluctant to spin a second less of pleasure from your willing body. Hot cum swelled against your insides: white, sweet, perfect. The one behind you collapsed his face between your shoulder-blades, condensation misting your skin. The second followed, his messy kisses covering your mouth between wild strands of hair.
And then, their ragged breath eased with a singular, staggered sigh. “Happy, Darling?” the Loki in front of you murmured. You nodded, cupping his face. “I love you,” you whispered, searching his eyes. This one. Definitely.
In a shimmer of green, and with a knowing smile, his body dissolved.
The arm around your waist tightened, cock still buried in your ass. Loki kissed the curve of your shoulder, and you grinned into the pillow. “I love you,” he said tenderly against the skin. “And that’s something I’ll never share.”
Thank you for reading❤️ Come say hi! Alternative Version/Part Two of the THIRD Loki ...yes that's right. The Spare (w/c 1.5k)

SYLUS ⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ thigh grinding/thigh fucking
18+ MINORS DNI
°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆.ೃ࿔°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:・
I noticed a lot of you liked when I brought up thigh grinding on my Sylus grinding headcanon post, so I figured I should write about that. I also thought it would be fun to include Sylus being into thigh fucking/thighjobs! So here you go, here’s your food. Thank me later.
Thigh Grinding
With how much you canonically use him as a personal chair (and with how much he canonically LIKES being your personal chair), thigh grinding seems like such easy form of foreplay for the both of you!
Sylus LOVES being used in a way where he still has control, he wants to give while you take. Thigh grinding is perfect for that! He’s giving you the space for you to help yourself.
The way he’d grab your hip(s) or thigh(s) to hold you down on him while you hump him, pressing his thigh against your crotch and rolling it up into it to add more pressure.
If he’s in the mood and it’s something you want to do while the two of you are alone together, he’d let you. But I personally feel like he’d enjoy it the most when he’s tired/busy while craving your attention.
Scenario, tired: the two of you had a long day, he just wants to sit and relax while you need a quick way to distress. He’d grab a book or pour a glass of wine before taking a seat and pulling you onto his lap, letting you get to business and take your time with him. Or perhaps he’d be so tired that he’d just rest his chin/head on your shoulder with his eyes closed. His arms engulfing you while he’s breathing in your scent and giving you lazy kisses and nips on the neck and shoulder, gently massaging your body and giving your plush parts light squeezes.
Scenario, working: you’re already on his lap, needy while he’s at a desk doing some paperwork or tinkering. He’s too busy to do anything with you at the moment, but he’s still enjoying your presence and he wants to make you feel good. His arms would simply be working around you while you cling to him, his head over your shoulder so he can see what he’s doing. He can’t exactly hold while you’re doing it, so he’d talk to you the whole time to make up for the lack of physical contact. He’ll occasionally rub your back and give you kisses though!
Thigh grinding doesn’t have to be a sit-on-lap situation, it can happen when the two of you are laying down! Cuddling, facing each other as one of you has your thigh between the other’s. Who said you were the only one who liked it? Sylus gets pent up too! If you allow him/encourage him to do so, he’ll glady wrap his limbs around you like a big monkey and grind his crotch against your thigh. He’d be so hot and huffy about it too, ughhh he’s just so big and sexy..
Thigh grinding can also be done while standing, but it’s far easier for him to press his thigh in between yours than it is for you to press your thigh in between his. He’s a bit too large/tall for it to work for those of us in the short people club, but if you ARE tall enough then GRIND YOUR THIGH AGAINST THAT MAN! 🫵
Thigh Fucking
This is mostly a thing that Sylus wants to get up to if you’d let him. It’s enjoyable for the both of you, but Sylus is a little crazy about it. Sometimes he’s cursed with these insane urges to stuff his cock between your bare thighs, his large hands squeezing them together or squeezing your ass while pumping himself between them. Each desperate thrust has his dick rubbing against your crotch.
He probably prefers you to be bare on your bottom half during the act, but if you’d like to keep some underwear on he wouldn’t complain! I think he’d also lose his mind if you’re wearing any sort of lingerie or thigh highs, he’d really want you to keep them on.
The positions he’d have you in depends on the location and mood, but he’d typically have you facing him. You could be laying on top of him, laying on your back while he’s on his knees, laying next to him, or standing in front of him. The only times you’d be facing away from him if he’s spooning you OR if there’s a mirror involved. He’d get so cheeky about having you watch him fuck your thighs from behind, loving the way you can see your own facial expressions in the mirror, loving the way he’s able to see himself feeling you up and down.
Facing him or not, he’d ALWAYS be pressing you against his body, talking/moaning directly into your ear, giving you ravenous kisses wherever his lips can reach, leaving love bites and hickeys up and down your neck/shoulders, you know how it is.
I think one location he’d always enjoy doing it in is the shower! It’s a very passionate and intimate setting, and it’s easier for him when your thighs are constantly slippery.
He’ll gladly do all the work, but you’ll have his head REELING if you take some initiative by moving your hips back and fourth. He’d be a mess while you make his cock push between your thighs.
You cannot get enough of some good thigh action

ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴄᴏᴍꜰᴏʀᴛ
✭ pairing(s): blade, moze, gallagher, and mydei x gn reader
✩ in which: you ask them to lay on you
✧ a/n: started this cause i was on my period cause instead of wanting a heating pad over my uterus i want a big beefy man probably 2x my weight to lay on me. yay!
✦ taglist: @fffrost, @shinysora
🗒 cw: gn reader, just fluff, not proofread
✎ wc: 938
⎯ Blade
BLADE doesn’t get it. You want him to lay on you? That’s it? No cuddling…? Not that he’s much of a cuddler (he is, actually, but he never admits it.), but he can’t help but feel curious about your increasingly weird requests. Still, he accepts. You aren’t spared the irritated look, though. Just because this isn’t the weirdest thing you’ve asked him to do doesn’t mean he’s going to act like it.
His body engulfs you almost entirely, your head pressed against his shoulder. He wraps his arms around you, palms pressing into the small of your back. He hesitated at first, not wanting to crush you. Your encouragement did little to sway him, but still he gave in. His weight settles on you and pushes you further into the mattress, until it feels like you were comfortably sandwiched. The sigh that leaves you borders on a moan.
The pressure is heavenly, to say the least. It spreads out all over your body, and you can feel yourself decompress. When you close your eyes, you feel light, as if you really have nothing on your mind. You’re not tired, far from it. The feeling that washes you is comfort. Calm and quiet, blissful. You barely remember that it’s Blade above you, and that he’s most likely giving you a very confused look.
⎯ Moze
MOZE may seem relatively unaffected by all your odd requests, but inside, he can’t help but question them. He must have been gone for too long, because your request stuns him. Only for a moment, though. He has been up for days, so a little cuddling (even if he’s meant to be the blanket here) doesn’t go unappreciated.
He drapes himself over you, one arm wrapped around your torso as he nuzzles into your neck. It seems he likes this more than you do (or, he’s just that tired.). He lets out a long breath as he takes in the moment. It is not long until you hear his soft snoring, which allows him to sink his full body weight onto you. You do your best not to make a noise, considering how light he sleeps. But damn, is it wonderful.
In truth, you could fall right asleep, too. His weight settles upon you and a sense of calm and a wave of exhaustion washes over you. You can’t help the smile that finds its home on your lips, pressed between your boyfriend and the comfy mattress below. Part of you wants to wrap your arms around him, but at the same time, you don’t want to move. Aside from Moze’s body, there’s another, shapeless weight that presses into your limbs, something that lulls you into a deeper sense of security, one you’ve felt in the few times he’s hugged you tight after a particularly hard mission…
⎯ Gallagher
“That’s really all you want?” GALLAGHER gives you a hearty chuckle and a pat on your back. Odd requests don’t phase him, not much anymore anyways. This is a simple request, compared to most of the stuff in Penacony. He’s happy to indulge, to be honest. He’s always loved this kind of close, lazy intimacy, so how could he say no?
When he lays himself on top of you, one hand placed on top of your head, petting through your hair. When you look up at him, he just gives you a lazy smile, contenting himself with raking his fingers through your hair. That action, paired with his weight settled over you, makes you feel light and warm. Before your heart can flutter like it always does, tranquility washes over you. You don’t mean to, but you end up snuggling further into Gallagher’s neck.
He huffs out another chuckle, but that doesn’t break you from your trance. He is warm, so very warm. It blankets you, causing you to relax further. All thoughts seemingly vanish from your mind, and all you can focus on is how pleasant his weight is against you, soft and comfortable. Your mind teeters between consciousness and sleep, feeling as if you were suspended between the clouds (if the clouds were a middle aged man with a handsome face and a rather nice… rack…)
⎯ Mydeimos
Now, MYDEI isn’t against a nice little cuddle session. It’s one of his favorite things to do, especially after a long day. But… essentially being your blanket? He worries about crushing you, really. But, after some pestering, he finally gives in. He gets it, he thinks. He has always quite loved it when you laid on top of him, in fact, he preferred it.
He settles over you, hesitating slightly. As much as he understood it, he still worried about crushing you. You have to reach up and push him down (which is a harder feat than it seems), for him to properly lay down on you. You both grunt, before your hand slips from his back. He watches as your face relaxes, eyes fluttering shut as you tilted your forehead, meeting his. He thinks to pull back for a moment, but can’t bring himself to do so.
It is far beyond your expectations. You can feel his gaze on you, but this time, it’s easy to ignore. In fact, all feelings fade away, aside from the press of his chest with every breath, which is steady, gentle, even. It only serves to sink you deeper into that comforting trance. Surrounded on all sides, but not trapped… you can’t help but hum in content. Or groan, it sounds more like a groan. You feel Mydei shift for a moment, only to settle back down onto you when you furrow your brows.

for your viewing pleasure┃vol. 2



pornstar!eddie x director!reader
welcome to my torture chamber, where I make you all suffer the feels I inflict upon myself. and when in doubt, add wayne.
18+, MDNI┃1.6k 4.1k
cw: lots of sensual fluff (smuff? smutty fluff? is that a thing?) smoking, nudity, allusions to sex, masturbation, light food play
+ mild, mild angst with a very fluffy resolution, anxiety, vague reference to events in FOI, implied family strife
*warnings subject to expand as more parts get added
The two-week gap in your shooting schedule was already planned—had been in the books for ages.
Your crew had been working non-stop, and you’d completed more than enough projects recently to warrant a little bit of a break. And the fact that the start of this break just happened to coincide with the same weekend as the awards ceremony…
Well, that was just a happy accident.
You and Eddie didn’t leave your apartment for five days straight. Okay, maybe not literally. But he never went back to his place, and he spent every night with you in your bed.
You dug up some clothes for him to wear—cast offs from old boyfriends you never got around to getting rid of. They weren’t the best fit, but it wasn’t like he kept them on for very long.
Most of the time you walked around in the nude, or nothing but your underwear. At a certain point, you seemingly decided clothing only slowed you down. But even between never-ending bouts of fucking, there were moments of stillness.
Little pockets of peace and quiet.
One morning, you woke around dawn and found Eddie in the living room. He had his long limbs draped haphazardly over your shitty futon, his length laying soft against his thigh. The cigarette pursed in between his lips glowed orange as he inhaled, and the muscles in his neck flexed as he tipped his head back to blow smoke out the open window. His pale skin glowed softly in the faint light leaking in through the blinds, his tattoos standing out starkly black on his nude form.
He stares up at the ceiling, letting his lit Camel smolder and cherry, thin ribbons of smoke curling in the air and catching the light. So lost in thought he didn’t notice you reaching for your camera.
The chh sound of the shutter as you depress the release doesn’t startle him anymore. If anything, it makes the corner of his mouth twitch from trying not to smile knowing you’re there.
“Did’ya get it?” he asks, still holding his pose as you sneak in closer.
“Take another drag,” you instruct quietly, “and tip your head back like that again.”
His chest shakes with a laugh, but he obeys.
The shutter clicks and snaps again, capturing shadows under his hollowed cheeks; the arch of his spine and the slow stretch of his neck; the way his waves fall across thrift shop throw pillows.
Serene. Arresting. Beautiful.
Floorboards creak and groan as you creep in closer, getting down for a new angle as he stubs out his smoke. He smiles as he blows out the last of it and it wafts in the air, hanging there.
“Lay back,” you tell him, “and prop your head up on your arm, like—yeah, like that…”
There’s more clicking shutter sounds, more quiet direction, more instants captured forever.
His dick starts to chub and you tell him to hold it, stepping up on the futon with him to shoot from above. He wraps his fingers around his base and starts to tug, slow and gentle. He grips the top of the frame with his other hand, the veins in both his arms standing out the tighter he squeezes.
By the time he comes, the sun has risen above the horizon and its golden rays are sparkling off the milky ropes splattered on stomach. His chest heaves with every labored breath, panting with exertion until he comes back down to earth.
A stupidly happy smile spreads across his face and he cocks his brow at you, huffing out the single word, “Waffles?” with a hearty laugh.
You live off take-out and whatever else thrown together from the random assortment of stuff in your cabinets and fridge; trade stories about the ‘meals’ you had to make for yourselves when you were little and came home to empty houses—it’s cinnamon toast for you, cheese slices melted on tortilla chips in the microwave for him.
He tears up when you make him a PB&J.
You take walks in your neighborhood, down to the little park at the end of your street. You sit on the bench under your favorite tree and he keeps you tucked securely under his arm at all times.
Besides that, any attempt to leave never works out. You half-heartedly keep saying you should ‘go out’ and quote-unquote, ‘do something,’ but never manage to put the words into action.
It always ends with falling back into your sheets, stripping off all the clothes you just put on.
You lay in your bed until daylight fades into the neon orange of sunset that fades into the muted blue of early evening. Your head on his chest, his on yours, you curled into his side, him with his front pressed to your back, him laying between your legs with his head pillowed on your thighs.
It feels like a dream, or a montage in a movie you wanted to shoot again and again.
Time seems to pull and stretch like it’s taffy, drooping in the middle and folding back on itself, turning over in a mesmerizing cycle. You have to remind yourself it’s not always gonna be this way, that the air will eventually cool and harden it, even though it feels like it could stay malleable forever.
At some point, he gets up to fetch ice cream from the freezer. You hold the pint in between you, taking turns taking tiny spoonfuls. He holds his spoon over your navel, letting the melted bits drip on your stomach before he laps it up with his tongue. It makes you hum in pleasure, makes your belly quiver as his lips hover over it. He lets more dribble on your sternum, in between your breasts, chasing the little rivers of it with his lips and sucking it off your skin’s surface.
He keeps doing it until he gets you squirming, snatching the spoon out of his hand and putting it on the bedside table with the ice cream. And then it’s sticky sweet kissing, tongues probing to taste the remnants of cream and sugar clinging to the insides of your mouths as you devour him.
“Wait…what day is it?” you ask, hours later through the fog of post-orgasmic bliss. Laying beside him in the bed, end to end so your feet are propped up on your pillow next to his face.
“Hmm?” Eddie drawls, halfway half-asleep as he turns his head to kiss your ankle bone.
“What day is it?” you ask again, still hazy and dazed. “Is…is today Friday?”
“I, uh…I don’t know,” he chuckles. “I lost track.”
Every day is you-day to him now.
You try to sound perturbed when you sit up, but it’s difficult when that dopey, sleepy grin of his stretches across his face. The words just come out all soupy and diluted with fondness.
“Well, I can’t imagine this is what you planned for your time off,” you giggle, nudging at his temple with your big toe. Eddie just shrugs and lightly runs his fingertips up and down your calf.
“Don’t be so sure about that,” he murmurs, now kissing the arch of your foot.
You pull your legs back and curl them under you as you sit up further, going to smack him lightly on the chest only to end up rubbing your palm across his pecs in a circle over his heart.
“C’mon, Ed, seriously,” you pleaded. “You really didn’t have anything planned?”
And he doesn’t say what he wants to, which is that he’d been dreading this break since you told him about it. That he knew he’d just be counting the days until he got to see you again; that he likely would have spent every day of it coming up with lame excuses to call you or come by.
“Honestly, nothing,” he tells you, letting his head roll side to side, still settled deep in the pillow.
You nod back, staring down at your hand on his chest, seemingly satisfied until you inhale softly.
“So I’m not, like, keeping you from anything?”
Even in the dark, he can see the worry that ghosts across your face. The brief flash of doubt that creeps in slowly like the moonlight bleeding through the crack under your door. It’s a thought you haven’t been able to voice yet, but has been lurking in the depths, gathering strength.
One you’ve been ignoring in the name of letting yourself be selfish in the way you never get to.
Automatically, Eddie sits up and scoots as close to you as he can get. He puts his hands on your cheeks and kisses your forehead for a long, long moment. You can smell your body wash on him, your conditioner in his curls. Familiar, yet different when it’s layered on top of his natural musk.
It’s like part of you is living in his skin and hair. Like he’s been infused with you.
“I’m exactly where I want to be,” he assures you, solid and unyielding. “Really, the only thing I thought I might do was…”
He trails off and your eyes flit up to meet his gaze. He chews on the words thoughtfully, the gears in his head turning so hard that you swear you can hear them out loud. Your heart swells as you reach out to stroke his necklace, rubbing the guitar pick that hangs over his own.
“Yeah?” you coax him gently.
Eddie exhales in a quiet chuckle. He takes your hand in his and lets his lips brush along the back of your knuckles before entwining your fingers.
“I thought I might go visit Wayne.”
Flying never really bothered you.
You hadn’t done it all that much, to be fair. But the times you had, it often went without a hitch.
The airport itself could be more anxiety-inducing than the flight itself, but today it had gone rather smoothly. Security was a breeze, and they didn’t make any changes to your departure gate that forced you to sprint through the terminal in a panic only to find your flight was long gone.
And yet as you sit in your seat next to Eddie, the plane idling on the tarmac waiting for the jetway to be attached, you find yourself wanting to yank down that mask stored overhead and suck down some sweet, sweet oxygen until your brain stops feeling like it’s being sandblasted.
Your leg bounces incessantly until a ringed hand reaches out and rests on your knee, holding on to it even after it’s stopped jiggling, the flat of his palm rubbing up and down your thigh.
He’s already looking back at you when you turn to thank him, and to apologize. Again.
Warm brown eyes glowing amber with the light coming through the window hitting them. Smiling sweetly when he says there’s nothing to apologize for. Giving you another reassuring squeeze as the people in the rows ahead of you finally stand.
Eddie stands as well, the hem of his t-shirt riding up as he brings down your bags, the brief flash of his happy trail giving you a momentary reprieve from your storm of anxious thoughts.
Up until today, you had genuinely been fine. The thought of tagging along with Eddie to visit his uncle somehow didn’t seem so intimidating in the moment when he asked if you wanted to join. And then there was the rush of packing, Eddie booking the flights while you got the hotel.
But somewhere in between clicking your lap belt into place and reaching cruising altitude, you had started to unravel. And by the time you were over Kansas, you’d worked up to a full panic.
In the last few months, Eddie had become one of the most—if not the most—important people in your life. And now you were on your way to meet the most important person in his life for the very first time, right after spending a full week with your legs wrapped around his head.
Among other places.
It could be worse, though. Wayne at least knew some version of how you and Eddie met, so that should minimize any awkward explanations or outright lies. Still, you didn’t know exactly how much he knew. And he certainly hadn’t heard about any of the more recent developments.
How would Eddie introduce you? As a coworker? A friend? His current slam piece? Was there even a word for what you were to each other now?
You didn’t dare allow yourself to wonder how familiar Wayne might be with you already. Too many times, you had been walked through the consumer reports on some of your tapes and had been reminded just how popular you were with older men. Men in Wayne’s exact age bracket…
The solid weight of Eddie’s hand laying on your shoulder mercifully brings you outside your own head as you look up at him. His brow pinches and he mouths a silent, you okay?
Forcing the best smile you can, you nod as you stand and slide in front of him into the aisle.
The rental car Eddie picked out was a bit gauche, but you didn’t tease him for it too much.
His return home was something of a victory tour, you supposed. He might as well look the douchey part—and he really did. Sitting in the front seat of that convertible, shit-eating grin splitting his face, long curls ruffling in the wind as he lowered the Ray Bans covering his eyes to wink at you.
It was funny how much it suited him.
Like he was born for it.
Hawkins was a few hours drive from Indianapolis, and you spent the majority of it turning over the same scenarios you’d been running in your head on the plane. After the fourth or fifth time you’d flipped down the visor on the passenger side to check that the scant amount of make-up you wore for the flight didn’t smudge, you heard Eddie chuckle quietly beside you.
“Something funny?” you scoff, closing the mirror and slapping the visor back into place.
Eddie shook his head, “Just not used to seeing you so nervous. There’s no need to be, y’know?”
He slid his hand off the gearshift to wrap around your knee, grounding himself as much as you.
“I know,” you answer, small and muted, “I’m just worried he’ll think I’m some sex-crazed nympho who dragged his precious, baby angel nephew into a life of debauchery and sin.”
A raucous belly laugh burst out of Eddie, and you whipped your head sideways to glare at him.
“Sorry, sorry,” he said, still laughing, “I don’t think anyone in this town has ever been worried about me getting corrupted. If you ask them, I was the number one source of corruption around here.”
Your eyes roll, but he took it as a win seeing the tiniest hint of a smile trying to break through. He lets go of your knee and reaches for your hand instead, his fingers and yours threading.
“Don’t worry,” Eddie tells you with another grin, “Wayne’s gonna love you.”
Because I do, he wishes he could add.
“Well, at least you picked something covert for our arrival,” you snicker under your breath.
Eddie laughed, the sound of it drowned out by him revving the engine as he made the turn into Forest Hills, drawing the ire of more than a few of his former neighbors. They all seethed at the car, as if they could slash the tires just by staring.
He pulls up in front of a trailer midway down the main dirt road—white and aqua siding that looks freshly power washed, a little garden plot peeking out from around the back, a shiny (lightly used) pick-up parked out front, some less rickety furniture sitting on the covered porch.
All the things Wayne was adamant he didn’t need that Eddie insisted on getting him anyway.
You get out of the car still fussing with your hands, wishing you had a pie or a plate of cookies or a joint—some kind of offering to say, ‘sorry your nephew’s doing porn because of me.’
But before you even reach the steps, the door swings open and Wayne comes out to greet you. He and Eddie embrace in an energetic hug, the both of them clapping the other hard on the back. Wayne’s hand rests on the back of Eddie’s neck after they pull apart, holding him there to get a good, long look at him. His eyes start to mist and you look at your feet, feeling like an intruder.
Eddie steps to the side, putting his hand on your lower back, giving Wayne your name. And for an instant, it all feels so terribly wrong. Like this is maybe the last place on earth you should be.
Who ever heard of bringing a pornstar home to meet the family? It sounds more like a set-up for a crappy parody, Guess Who’s Cumming to Dinner.
But then Wayne takes your hand. He sandwiches it between his palms, his grasp solid and firm as he gives you a reassuring squeeze. He smiles so wide, the number of folds on the older man’s weathered face seemingly double.
“Nice to meet you, finally,” he says, his voice as gravelly as the road you just drove down.
“Really nice to meet you too,” you say, returning his squeeze. All your doubts somehow banished instantly by his warm, sage presence.
He gives you another smile and motions for you all to move inside. As you and Eddie walk past, his eyes land on the rental car parked next to his truck and he shakes his head.
“No one’s ever accused you of being subtle, boy,” he sighs.
The inside is shockingly tidy for a bachelor pad, the walls adorned with rows and rows of mugs and hats just as Eddie described. There’s a few pieces of furniture in here that look new, too.
Namely, a bigger TV and a couch with some real cushioning that’s not just a sciatica factory.
It’s nice. Homey, even. It feels lived in and comfortable, well-worn like the clothes on their backs. It makes you wonder how your life might have turned out different if you had someone like Wayne to take you in the way he did for Eddie. Someone to give you a soft place to land.
Your gaze falls on an old photo book sitting out on the kitchen counter, and Wayne’s eyes twinkle with a kind of familial mischief as he tries to act like it’s there purely by coincidence.
Almost instantly, you and Eddie are squished next to each other on the couch while Wayne looks on from his recliner as you pour over the album. You flip carefully through shot after shot of Eddie’s little face from diapers to kindergarten. The only other figure featured is Wayne, and you realize the book must have been a gift made for him. All the pictures taken by someone else.
For how thick the book is, it’s not actually all that full. The photos stop about halfway through, and you guess that the person who gave it to him must have intended to add more later.
“These are beautiful,” you murmur, noting the lighting and composition. There’s an artfulness to them that’s undeniable, even if it’s not deliberate.
Clearly taken by someone with a natural talent.
Eddie hums quietly in agreement, trying not to think about all the other equally beautiful photos, the ones of him and the hundreds of others taken before he was even born, that are lost forever.
“Wait, is that—are you in a tutu?!”
Eddie flings his whole body forward, trying to slap his hand over a picture of him at maybe five or six in a baby pink leotard trimmed with silver sequins and an equally sparkly tulle skirt so stiff and fluffy it stood up on its own. In the picture, he’s running away from the camera, grinning deviously over his shoulder at whoever’s chasing him, the lower half of his face smeared with vanilla frosting.
“They were havin’ a recital over at the community center,” Wayne chortles, “set up this table to sell baked goods. Boy stole a costume and walked right out with a dozen damn cupcakes.”
Together, you and the older man fall into a fit of laughter while Eddie scoffs indignantly.
“That old crone of a dance teacher wouldn’t sell me one—I had money and everything!”
His argument falls on deaf ears, you and Wayne too busy cackling to pay him any attention, but he keeps trying to defend himself, his own laughter breaking through as he breaks down and Wayne swipes away the beginnings of a tear that leaks out of the corner of his eye.
“Oh…”
You turn the page and all three of you fall silent at the sight of the next photo, seemingly the only one Wayne might have taken himself. It’s from the same day, snapped shortly after the previous. Eddie is still in the tutu, but his face has been cleaned with a wet wipe. The woman holding one is crouched down in front of him, his sweet face scrunched up like he’s in the middle of a giggle.
She looks just like him. Same pale, lightly freckled skin. Same dark, unruly curls cut short into a bob. Same rounded tip of her nose, identical to the miniature one she’s booping with her index.
Eddie lays a hand on the page, his thumb stroking the image through the protective sleeve.
It’s the last photo in the book.
“I’m, um…m’ gonna go have a cigarette,” he says, his voice tight. He clears his throat and goes to stand, placing a warm kiss to your temple.
You watch him go, and Wayne watches you watch him until the door that leads to the little porch on the side of the trailer has closed with a loud creak of its hinges. After one last look at the last photo, you carefully flip the album closed and finally meet Eddie’s uncle’s gaze.
“Thank you for showing me these,” you say softly.
He nods and holds out his hand to take the book back. Calloused palms and cracked, leathery skin. Rough, hard-working hands that handle the album as though it’s made of glass.
It goes back in the closet he dug it out of earlier, and he comes back to take his seat in his recliner. He sits forward, elbows resting on his knees and his hands clasped in front of him. His flannel clad shoulders lift and fall as he takes a deep and bracing breath. A serious breath.
“So, uh,” he starts, clearing his throat gruffly, “I’d like t’ thank you. For looking out for ‘im.”
He casts a quick glance at the door Eddie is on the other side of before turning back to you.
“Can’t say I was exactly thrilled to hear what he’s been up to out there,” he said, still sounding a bit dubious, “but it made me feel better knowin’ he had someone like you to…to…”
Wayne scrubs a hand over his mouth, the graying stubble on his jaw so coarse you can hear it.
Your back, already painfully straight, stiffens even further as you swallow, trying to bring some relief to your dry mouth as you open it to speak.
“You know,” you start slowly, “he actually helped me a lot more than I helped him.”
Wayne’s forehead wrinkles quadruple as his brow arches and he snorts.
“No, really,” you insist with a smile. “He just…he’s kind and considerate. He works so hard, and he gives every job everything he’s got, no matter what. He makes everyone want to be better.”
Wayne’s gaze softens as he listens to you, quiet and focused. Hearing everything you’re saying.
“There’s a lot of big dicks in our industry—er, no pun intended,” you chuckled, earning a soft huff of laughter out of Wayne as well, “but Eddie’s different. He’s better. He’s very special.”
To me, you wish you could add.
But the point stands either way.
A small smile creeps across Wayne’s face and he reaches out to lay his hand on your shoulder.
It only rests there a moment, but his palm is warm through your t-shirt and the weight of it is bracing and reassuring, as is the kind twinkling in his eyes. The fine lines that appear around them match the ones you’ve seen on Eddie’s face whenever he grins, wide and animated.
“M’glad you two finally figured it out,” he says with a knowing smirk. “Thought that boy would have an aneurysm one of these days tryin’ to hold back that crush he had on you.”
You start to laugh, but a screech of door hinges and the soft clomp of boots on the carpet stops you as Eddie strides back into the living room.
“Talkin’ about me?” he asks with a cheesing grin.
Practically in sync, yours and Wayne’s eyes roll and you answer with a hefty dose of snark.
“No, never,” you deadpan at the same time Wayne scoffs, “Why would we?”
Thank you for reading the new update, hopefully it's not too difficult to keep up with like this. Love you, mean it! 🎬
