No one ever saw such a strong bond at such an early age, but here you were, always together, always inseparable, obsessive? Maybe a little bit.

“Did you see him?” A girl whispered to her friend while taking a seat next to them in the cafeteria.

“Who? The golden boy of the school on the field?” Her friend answered while sipping on her chocolate milk.

“Obviously, who else?” She snarled, her head turning to watch the topic of their gossip enter with his friend group. “Oh god what I would give to be with him.” She rested her chin on her palm, taking a sour expression.

“As if he'd ever look in our direction.” A sound of a tray being dropped onto the table woke her up from her daydream, she looked at her other friend with an imaginary question mark flying above her head. “He's too busy flying after his sweetheart to notice anyone else drooling over him every time he enters a room.” She angrily stabbed her food with a fork, letting out an annoyed breath.

As if summoned, the object of her jealousy walked over to the boy.

They couldn't hear anything, the table of the jocks being too far away from them to hear their conversations, the only thing they could catch was loud laughter.

But they saw everything.

A girl walked over to Caleb, hugged his sitting form from the back and kissed his check, the boy doing nothing to push her off.

A few moments later she was already sitting at his table, by his side, his friends doing nothing to protest, just continuing to mind their businesses.

His arm wrapped around her shoulders, bringing her even closer to himself, his jaw-dropping smile rarely seen without her in his line of vision instantly showing when he looked at her.

Two girls sitting at the table exhaled sadly while looking over at the couple, the third one rolling her eyes at their behavior.

Oh to be you.

“We gotta go to the cinema soon, that movie I've been waiting so long to come out finally has a premiere.” You said while walking down the school corridor with Caleb tailing right behind you, the place he owned by now after being each other shadows for years.

“I'm one step ahead of you, pipsqueak, already bought us tickets.” He smiled proudly when you giggled.

“Thank you, baby.” You stopped in front of your locker, smiling at him over your shoulder while typing the code to open it.

He leaned onto the locker beside yours, his eyes not leaving your figure for a second.

Until...

Something flew to the floor the moment you opened the little door, a envelope of some sort.

You crouched down to pick it up, looking at the heart shaped sticker holding the paper closed.

Caleb stared at the item in your hands, annoyed but not letting it show.

It better not be what he thinks it is.

“Did you put it in my locker?” You asked, glancing at him with question.

He simply shook his head no.

“Pff, weird.” You whispered, taking the books you needed for your next class out, paying half a mind to the white paper in your hand. “Will you walk me to my next class?” You looked over at your boyfriend while closing the locker.

“Of course.” He said, holding onto your bag with his backpack hanging on his shoulder.

“Perfect.” You smiled, one of your hands going up to graze his cheek lovingly before turning around and walking away, knowing fully well he was right behind you.

You made sure to pass by a trashcan on your way, throwing the still closed love letter into it, not really caring about its content.

Your boyfriend couldn't have been happier with your reaction.

It was the longest break between the classes, many students walked out of the school building to spend it outside, sitting close to the football and basketball fields. Many of them took notice of the school's „golden boy” repetitively throwing the ball into the basket, paying half a mind to it while still somehow scoring 90% of his throws, more focused on the conservation he carried with a girl sitting on the ground close to him.

His dearest girlfriend.

Despite the couple being in different classes there wasn't a single school day when they spent their breaks separately, too busy acting all lovey-dovey with each other to notice the jealous stares looking at them from left to right as usual.

“Purple or orange?” You held your notebook up, showing your boyfriend a cute drawing of flowers in those colors.

“Ymmm why don't you mix them together?” He looked over at your work of art, not really understanding what the choice would change.

“That's also an idea, but I need to choose one.” You said, unbothered by the lack of his help, putting your notebook on the field ground while staring at the page in focus.

“And what exactly do you need to choose?” He asked briefly, his head turning back to look at the basket before throwing the ball into it once again, the round object hitting the backboard before falling into the hoop.

“I want to make us matching flower crowns and put an outfit together that's in one specific color, for the photos.” You explained, coloring the petals of the flowers you drew, half laying on the ground.

Caleb stayed quiet for a moment, thinking, “And why is the choice between those two specific colors?” He asked with curiosity.

“Well one is your favorite color.” You started, not really paying attention to your surroundings. “And the other matches your eyes that I love.” The sound of the ball hitting the ground every couple of seconds that accompanied you for the last 10 minutes stopped, you raised your eyes slowly, almost instantly meeting the nebula like irises you adored so much. “What's wrong?” You asked, as if not getting it.

“You...” He started but dropped the sentence before it could leave his mouth. Looking around he noticed a couple members of the school basketball team, his teammates, close to the two of you, raising his hand he caught the attention of one of them before throwing the ball to him and turning back to you, taking a couple steps before crouching down to your level.

A kiss landed on your forehead, sweet and gentle, just like how Caleb was to you ever since you could remember.

“I love you.” He whispered while gazing into your eyes, his ears turning slightly pink.

You smiled lightly. “I love you.” Left you in response to his confession.

He stood up holding out a hand for you to grab and pull yourself up. You walked back into the school building holding hands, your eyes shying to the floor like it was your first week together, still unbothered by the stares you received.

Some people couldn't help but think: am I jealous because I want to be one of them, or do I want to have what they do?

You had a very good idea on just how much your boyfriend was popular in your school.

Girls trying to give him their lunches, love letters, trying to catch his eyes whenever he as much as walked by beside them.

You were the jealous type. But it was quiet jealousy, the one that everyone thinks isn't there when you ignore girls (and boys) all around you giving your man dreamy eyes.

Everyone was shocked with the way you never reacted whenever a girl tried her shot with Caleb.

You were always just there, not even paying attention to their attempts, not even caring.

Why?

Because you knew you were the only one to ever catch his eye the way they all dreamed of.

It would be a lie to say that your ego wasn't being fed every time you heard people gossiping about the two of you behind your back.

At this point? You saw it all as pathetic.

They knew you were together from the moment you joined Caleb's school, two years after him.

They saw the way he held you close and looked at you like you were the very creator of the world.

They heard the way he talked about you, to you, with that deep longing in his voice each time you weren't around.

They could try, but they'll never take your place.

Not when your man is too busy admiring you to notice anyone else batting their eyelashes at him.

“Hey Caleb, we're going to get pizza after school with the whole team, you coming?” He heard the voice of his friend behind him.

“Nah, I'm good, I'm going with my girlfriend on a date.” He said with a light smile at the thought of you spending more time together than you already did.

“Oh c'mon lover-boy, your life can't resolve only around your girlfriend,” Why not? “You need to make some time for yourself and your friends, y'know?” His friend said teasingly, before waving his hand at him and catching up after the team that already began their walk towards the pizzeria.

A moment later a pair of hands covered up his eyes from behind.

“Guess who?” A voice he'll never get tired of hearing spoke in a whisper.

“Hm I don't know...” He pretended to think very hard about the answer. “Maybe... My dearest girlfriend, who I've been waiting for the past 20 minutes.” He turned around in your hold, a wide smile on his face making him look more pretty than usual, while he hugged you tightly, stealing a short-lived kiss.

“Not here!” You giggled, but didn't attempt to free yourself from the embrace anyway.

“Oh please pips, I don't care who sees, let them look.” He says so casually it almost made you blush.

“Damn boy, aren't you confident.” You smiled sweetly, moving away from the hug but reaching out to hold his hand instead. “So, to the amusement park?”

He used his free hand to ruffle your hair with a short laughter at your reaction, before nodding his head and walking forward with your hand tightly wrapped in his.

None of you noticed someone taking a photo from behind you that would later on become a Valentine Day poster on your school official media.

“Baby?” Your panicked, quiet voice reached his ear as soon as he picked up your call.

“What's wrong?” He was left alone in the basketball team changing room, being the one who had the duty to close it and return the key to the school janitor today.

“I-” He heard you breathing out sharply, clearly stressed. “I don't know. I'm in the bathroom on the second floor, I've run in here after I've heard some guys talking disgusting stuff about me when I passed by them.” You spoke fast and quiet, but he managed to pick up every word. “They started following me all the way from the third floor, I ran in here, but I'm scared to come out now, there's no one here anymore, the classes finished already.”

“I'm going there right now, don't worry.” He didn't even pick up his bag and jacket, only closed the door as quick as he could and began his walk to the side of the school where you were, paying half a mind to remember about taking his things later. “How many are there and are you sure they followed you?” Maybe it was just a coincidence?

“Three. I thought so too, at first, but when I picked up the pace they did too, I only managed to get away cause I started running to the bathroom, thinking that they'll go on their way, but I heard them laughing after me and now-” He heard the sound of the door opening and hitting the wall on the other side of the call.

He started half-running.

“We know you're in here!” Caleb didn't recognize the voice, surely it was none of his friends, or yours.

“Running to the bathroom from us, really? Pathetic.” A disgusting sound of laughter sounded from his phone.

“Come on, we won't hurt you, we just... Want to take some nice pics of you, aye?” He heard sounds of the doors opening, probably the doors to the cabins.

“Yeah, we'll make you a little model, don't you want to show the world how pretty you are?”

The handle of the door to the cabin you were hiding in while sitting on the floor moved, not opening.

You grasped your phone tighter, letting out a shaky breath and shutting your eyes.

Caleb will be here soon... It will be alright.

“Oh there you are...” A voice sounded from right outside the door. “Come on out, don't make us use for-”

A pained sound followed.

Your previously tightly shut eyes opened, what was going on?

More groans followed, together with something or someone hitting the floor, or the wall?

Maybe a ceiling...

You heard begging, and curses, accompanied by painful cries.

Just what exactly was going on?

And then silence.

You held your breath, scared.

But then...

“Pips?” A soft voice from behind the door made your heart clench and previously held tears spill out from relief.

“Caleb?” You whispered, moving up to unlock the door, not paying attention to the sound of a call ending.

The door opened quickly and soon you were embraced by the man you felt the safest with.

Your eyes shut again, tears falling onto the material of his shirt while you sobbed quietly, hands holding onto him tightly, not wanting to let go.

“Shh, it's okay, I got you.” He said gently into your hair, his arms holding you closely, gently massaging your back. “No one will ever hurt you.”

You tried to peek at the scene behind him, but his hand on your head stopped you, making sure you'll stay hidden in the crack of his neck.

“Don't look, it's okay.” So you didn't, you knew better, the state of those men didn't matter, not to you and not to him.

“I was so scared...” You let out into his neck, hands not letting go of him for even a second.

“I know, princess, I know. Let's go home.” He said gently, picking your bag and phone from the floor behind you, using his evol.

His hands moved to your thighs, making you wrap them around his waist with ease before standing up with you in his arms, clinging to him like a koala.

You didn't bother looking up now.

He moved you to rest on one of his arms, the other busy holding your things while he carried you out of there.

The blood on the floor and walls will be a problem for someone else tomorrow, but at least he left them breathing.

“I'm fine Caleb, you don't need to pamper me.” You said with a giggle.

The following evening after what took place earlier was peaceful and full of care.

When you came back to an empty home Caleb prepared a bath for you, in the meantime going to make you something light for dinner and then coming back to wash your hair.

The pure innocence of that moment would shock many, after all, what straight man was able to watch woman's naked body without lust?

But Caleb could, he adored you in every form and every shape, the only time he would ever look at you with lust would be the time when you wanted it.

But today? Today you didn't need it, craving love, warmth and comfort that you always found in his arms.

Well also craving his cooking, but that's another point of no importance here.

“I always need to pamper you, after all I've spoiled you so much you don't know how to live without me anymore, now I need to bear the consequences of it.” He laughed, clearly enjoying that fact.

“You're a dummy.” You rolled your eyes dramatically.

You were sat on the carpet in the living room, in his t-shirt and random comfy underwear, with him behind you drying your hair.

“Oh yeah, that's right hah? Caleb is a big dummy who spoiled you too much. Ain't I, pipsqueak?” He teased, to which you let out a scoff paired with laughter.

Your silhouettes visible from outside had to be the purest display of love someone could ever see in their life.

Note: I tried my best to add accurate information about art here, together with coming out with what Rafayel's personal opinions would be like, please do correct me if anything you see here is a false claim!

for masterlist and request info head to the navigation →

When Rafayel became your professor you didn't bat an eye, focused on your goals, not taking a notice of the hottie everyone talked about. What changed and pushed you to catch feelings? Do you believe in fate? Because something clearly pushes you his way...

‘How do you even get yourself into a situation like this?’

You were sitting on a lecture about modern art, the topic itself very much interesting, especially when the person talking about it was Rafayel himself, but most of the people there didn't come to learn about art.

He could have said something like sky is green or purple color doesn't exist and they would all nod and agree with him, simply because of the way he carries himself, unusual and unparalleled artist with a specific worldview, not afraid to voice controversial opinions.

But he was so much more than that.

Everyone admired him for his work and character, the second of which seemed weird since if anyone else would act the same way he did they would be considered rude and tactless, but Rafayel? He could be as mean as he'd want to, and people would continue singing him praises, what an unfair standard that comes with being famous. Other people simply excused his behavior because of his looks, which you had to admit, were really, really good.

At first you didn't like him, didn't even respect him to be honest, thinking of him as another rich man with too much influence in his hands, but with time? You started noticing the little things.

The way he spoke about art as something magical itself, having deeper respect for a piece of paper than an actual human being, and honestly? In some weird way you approved that thinking logic.

Most people in this specific class weren't artists, or even just people interested in it, they simply chose to attend that class because someone popular (despite not even being active in the media) works as a professor, limiting the amount of free places in the lecture for people actually interested in what he's talking about.

You still had no idea how you got a place, since you signed up for it really late and didn't expect to actually make it, but to your surprise you got yourself a spot.

Totally not because the professor himself pulled some strings...

Rafayel wasn't actually half as bad as you first thought, he didn't indulge in people exciting over his existence, didn't use his popularity as a sign that he deserves respect, no. He was much more simple than that, which also made him more complicated since he was so different from the rest.

You didn't really engage in making friends at the university, focusing on your art and people whom you already knew for longer, people who were actually interested in what you do, allowing you a sneak peeks at the process of their own creative work.

And they were enough for you. You liked being alone, didn't care much about people's opinions, preferring silence or music over conversations that you couldn't end out of politeness when they got boring.

Humans were boring.

That's what you use to justify your lack of social interactions for the most part. A couple of people who you knew just get you and actually like you were enough, especially since the conversations at the university were always the same, talks about relationships, problems of our world, parties and stuff like that. Now the quiet groups at the university did in fact sound fun sometimes, talking about topics that you wouldn't catch in the casual conversation when meeting a stranger, weirdly specific and interesting.

And last days? Everyone talks about Rafayel.

Girls talking about how much they would like a private lesson with a professor like this in an obvious context, even some guys engaging on it sometimes.

Just Rafayel, Rafayel and Rafayel, whenever you go.

You get it, he's hot, young and simply so, so attractive simply by just existing.

But did they really have no other problems in life than getting laid?

Now at the start of his lectures you kind of despised him, thinking of his as an annoying, selfish prick, who got too much fame for no reason.

But with time and each lesson you gained more and more respect for him, the way he talked mesmerizing you, bringing out passion for art from the depths of each and everyone who'd listen, the way the world around him seemed to stop every time he picked a paintbrush, the way he didn't care about other's opinions, strict but also really chill, a perfect professor.

And the way he looked at you...

It started innocently, you noticed how his gaze seemed to wander to you whenever you entered his classroom, stopping whatever he was doing for a second too long to simply look at you and take you in, something you noticed he didn't do with anyone else.

At first you thought that it was just your imagination, like you were a 10 year old in a water pool trying to gain the attention of an older lifeguard, now you looked out for the attention of your professor. He wasn't that much older than you though, maybe two or three years from what you know.

And despite telling yourself that his glances didn't mean anything, your friend decided to pursue you into testing the theory that he actually likes you.

So one day you wore something that would definitely catch his attention if he decided to pay any to you.

Nothing too risky, just something that you wouldn't usually wear to a boring, hours long lectures, a skirt and a top with a little deeper neckline than you usually wore.

And just when you walked into his classroom, prepared for your friend's plan to fail, he glanced at you like he always did. You tried to act all natural about it, so slowly you walked to your seat, noticing in the corner of your eye that his eyes followed you for much longer than ever before.

Sitting up you decided to sneak a glance at him again; and that's when you caught it.

His eyes studying your figure, his expression not betraying his thoughts, he seemed just as if looking at something that brought him instant inspiration.

Something worth his attention.

His eyes went up to your face, noticing the way you watched him.

Instead of looking away embarrassed he continued to stare, acting as if it didn't mean anything, but you knew the truth. He never graced any other student with his beautiful eyes straying to them for so long.

You smiled slyly, but subtly, resting your chin on your hand, watching the way he couldn't seem to look away.

Noticing your expression he only smirked, finally moving his eyes to the papers before him.

You had him in your grasp, now the only question is how to approach someone like him about it?

Coming back to a recent time: the lecture slowly came to an end, students began to wrap up their stuff to go about their day, when someone's loud voice disturbed the sounds of chairs being moved.

“Professor Rafayel, since the next lesson is about nude painting will you model for us?” One of the very not funny popular girls at the academy asked while giggling with her girlfriends.

Rafayel didn't even turn around from the canvas, standing right before the huge board in the center of the classroom, studying the works his students submitted for the next academy exhibition.

Uncomfortable silence fell onto the hall, only interrupted by giggles of the people who found disrespecting professors funny.

“You're saying that as if you were able to create a full body sketch while portraying the correct human anatomy.” He stated coldly, as usual. Giggles instantly died down when he finally turned around, walking towards his desk casually, as if he didn't just embarrass a student. “I remember how your sketch of a couple sitting and holding hands turned out. Their limbs stretched out way too long to be considered human, women's breasts bigger than her own head while her body remained tiny and slim, don't even get me started on the guy's abs.” He lifted his head up, his cold gaze instantly making the girl look down in shame. “Now, I don't mean that people aren't allowed to be beginners, make mistakes, or are obligated to perfection. No. What I mean is that only people who come here to paint and improve themselves will attend the nude painting lecture.”

Whispers began circling around you, you couldn't help but smirk, instantly trying to hide it.

So he did notice how most of his students had nothing to do with art...

“Same goes to each and every next lesson that will acquire drawing skills on at least decent level. You're in this class for what, two months now? How come you're still unable to create a sketch that at least resembles a human.” He deadpanned, some of the students began to feel called out, just like the girl herself. “I was being nice, turning a blind eye to your incompetence, but really, how can you take a course that is too advanced for you? And not even try to gain any knowledge from it nonetheless.” He said while grabbing a stack of papers and making his way to the classroom door, stopping in the middle of his way. “I'll say this once and let it sink in. The next lecture won't be for anyone without the ability to hold a paintbrush properly.”

And with that he walked out.

A moment of silence met the hall walls again, before people began laughing. The girl and her minions gathered their things with a pout, talking about them never coming back here and what a dick that professor was.

You looked behind you, instantly making eye contact with a girl who just like you attended these classes from passion, she sent you a wink before continuing to pack her things and laughing under her nose.

Oh yes, Rafayel is not as shallow as you took him for.

You had strange dreams, more often than not you found yourself in the ocean depths, not drowning but simply being there, feeling like you and the cold water were one, before suddenly waking up.

Ever since you could remember you felt connected to the ocean, your inspiration skyrocketing every time you gazed into its surface, hearing the waves hit the shore.

Living only about 15 minutes away from it you could easily get there anytime you felt like it, often finding yourself sitting at a distance from the shore with a sketchbook, scribbling something even if you didn't know what final effect you were going for.

It's always been like this, your art often centering around the deep waters, sometimes you drew a human swimming while looking up towards the light above them, illuminating their face, sometimes it was mermaids, mostly male (for no reason at all) wrapped in jewelry all over them. Sometimes simply the view below the surface, colorful, lively, sometimes sad and depressive, all depending on your mood.

But lately... Whatever you try to draw, paint, create, resembles one specific person...

Rafayel.

Your art professor.

Why? You didn't even know. Every time you picked a paintbrush and just went with the flow, planning to simply create a man, any man, the face you painted looked like him, his hair, his silhouette, just him.

You were so tired of it. Feeling like a teen having their first celebrity crush, knowing fully well they will never happen.

But you still managed to keep your hopes up.

However if anyone asked? You didn't care about him, at all, that's it, that's the story, you don't care.

Because you didn't want to be like all those brain-less girls attending his class just to admire him. You had a goal, you wanted to improve, to learn, to build your future starting by finishing this university, and no hot professor will be able to pull you away from something you worked all your life for.

But also with each and every word spoken by him he seemed more and more mesmerizing, your gaze wandering around his features, unconsciously implanting his image into your brain.

And despite you trying not to pay attention to it you could feel his eyes on you more often than not.

Tomorrow's another lecture. Nude paintings. You can do it, more than familiar with painting human anatomy. But also it's supposed to have less people than ever before attending it...

Honestly, if he already managed to build a house in your mind with the way he had you thinking about him everyday, why won't you do the same to him?

After all, two can play this game, right? Let's push his limits a little bit, live a little, you won't risk your place in the academy since you're not planning to do something scandalous, right? They can't kick you out for no evidence that you tried to seduce your professor, right?

You did just what you said you would. The very next day you woke up a little earlier, just to put your plan in motion.

You picked out clothes from your dresses for about half an hour, finding stuff you haven't seen for years at this point, trying to put together the cutest outfit you could.

Settling for a sweet body-hugging skirt ending at the perfect length so that you won't flash anyone while just walking around, a transparent shirt showing everything except your breasts, carefully hiding them behind a soft sewn-in material, adorable tights and a pair of cute platform shoes.

Topping everything with a cardigan to hide away from the strict professors, who don't understand that clothes do not disturb their lessons.

After making sure you looked your best and sending a selfie to your friend group you got ready to officially start the day, hopeful that your efforts won't go unnoticed.

And to say that they didn't go to waste would be an understanding...

A couple hours later you walked into the art class full of already prepared canvas, Rafayel nowhere in sight yet. You noticed some girls talking to who you thought volunteered to be a model for today's project, probably someone who needed a quick cash, he wasn't bad looking, but not really your type either.

He looked too cocky, with good features and probably a gym freak, but something about him screamed ‘do not approach, he'd fuck anything that moves’.

A typical guy with nothing other on his mind than scoring a girl, pretty much proving you right when you saw him exchanging numbers with two girls that he probably just met.

Well not like you cared about that anyways, let them live their life or whatever like that.

Settling for a place in the corner, very close to the door, behind the others (meaning: they won't see what you're doing), and in a perfect spot for whoever sat at the professor's desk to see you clearly, you took your cardigan off and waited for your prey.

Luckily you didn't have to wait for long.

Rafayel walked in a minute later, not really glancing at the class on his way to put the heavy stuff he carried in his hands down.

You straighten up your back, trying your best to look lost in thought while staring at the blank canvas before you, moving a pencil in the air before it as if trying to imagine the lines you were going to sketch.

For a second you really got lost in daydream, inspiration flowing to you naturally, but before you could have started thinking about the details of your idea your train of thoughts returned to the current situation.

Now, how do you turn around unsuspiciously to check if he was looking at you.

Glancing at the pencil in your hand you began to slowly twist it between your fingers, trying your best to make dropping it look like an accident. Loosening up the pressure in your hand you let it fall to the ground with a soft thud.

Your face shot down, unhurriedly getting off your stool to pick it up.

You crouched down facing his desk, gently picking up your tool and lifting your head his way while standing up.

His eyes didn't leave you for even a second.

Watching the way your skirt rode up when you moved and the way you used your hands to fix it slowly, before finally his eyes went up to look at your face.

He didn't falter at being caught, too busy taking you in.

Not wanting to act weird and not really wishing for someone in your class to notice your weird behavior, you moved back to your seat, acting as if nothing happened.

Well to be honest the only thing that happened was your pussy waking up at his watchful gaze.

Why did he have to be so otherworldly hot? The universe wasn't fair.

You don't remember any other guy other than fictional ones that made you get aroused so fast. Why the fuck was it so easy for him? You didn't like acting crazy over some... Guys...

Not your style.

Okay, that's a lie, you didn't like it only because you couldn't fuck him, other than that you wouldn't complain.

“Alright, that's it for the waiting, whoever was supposed to be in this class today is already here.” You looked around noticing about half of the usual squad missing, people probably did listen to him saying that he doesn't want anyone coming here for nothing. For someone looking this cute he sure as hell had a way to sound harsh and cold, not taking anyone's bullshit.

You giggled into your hand quietly at the thought of him calling out people's idiotism.

“As you all know we last studied bodily anatomy. Most of you did good, some of you still need guidance, but that's okay, since everyone here has improved their technique over the past two months enough to pass a certain criteria.” You followed everyone's gazes, turning on your stool to face your professor, who was currently busy looking out of the window next to his desk. “I believe you already noticed today's model.” He glanced at the man currently busy making the girls blush, not mentioning anything else about him. “We have about 3 to 4 hours today, I want you to focus mainly on the full picture and try your best to capture your model with precision to each mole and mark, if you won't be able to finish in time, you'll simply add details another time since this isn't our last lesson on the topic.” He looked around the class, all eyes turned to him as usual, with his hand he gestured to the volunteer model to come to him.

Hall erupted in small talks as he focused on explaining something to the guy before sending him to probably get ready for hours of standing still naked.

“Nude art was first introduced to us back in Ancient Greek times, later on succeeding in stealing the spotlight in Western art, often presented as something controversial, back then - and now, together with the porn industry absolutely devaluing human body's worth.” The moment he began talking again the whole class quietened down, focusing all their attention on him. “People started portraying bare body as something only serving sexual purposes, thinking that the only purpose of nude art is to arouse the viewer.” He walked to the front of his desk, leaning on it while facing the small crowd. “Now personally I do not believe that the only purpose of it was to serve such a function, but people are free to believe what they want.”

Some people looked at each other, thinking about where the other's opinion stands, you glanced at them for a moment, but your eyes quickly returned to Rafayel.

“But also if you do believe that portraying human's body on canvas is only for it to serve as porn imagine, I do not know what you're even doing here.” He tilted his head for a second, thinking. “From the moment your model will take his pose you're free to start your work at any moment, you may also not work at all, I really don't care, just don't disturb the ones trying to make something beautiful.” He glanced at you for a moment, looking way too natural while doing so, but compared to him staring at the walls whenever he talked it surely wasn't a coincidence. “Do you have any questions before we start?” He shot a quick glance around.

“I do.” One girl from the other side of the hall stated, everyone's gaze momentarily turned to her. Rafayel quickly nodded his head her way gesturing for her to talk. “You said people portray the human body as something exclusively sexual. If not for sexual purposes, what do you think nude art represents?” She asked, not shying away from the topic, she was one of the devoted students, rather quiet one but you even liked her.

“It can represent a lot of things, depending on the artist's vision and the viewer's interpretation. It can portray emotions, feelings, meanings, anything you'd like. In today's world we hide away from nakedness, today's society makes us believe that showing our bodies is something to be ashamed of.” He could have talked about anything and you were sure you'd still hang on every word. His voice sounded so smooth each time he opened his mouth. “Making us feel like exposing the body we are born with is a crime. And while I agree that it is something intimate to see someone bare themselves before you, it's not half as intimate as baring your soul to somebody. And that soul is something that I want you to capture. Each painting has its soul, if you fail to capture it, you're taking away any life from your work. If you don't put your soul into your art, you are not a true artist.” He calmly said, stating his opinion effortlessly as always.

The corners of your mouth rose involuntarily, something about him talking about putting your soul into your paintings making you feel good. After all - each of your works contained part of you in them, having someone say that art has a deeper meaning than just colors on a paper looking nice felt good. Having someone with good values teaching you was nice.

Rafayel rounded his desk again, sitting in his chair while everyone focused on their conversations or preparations for painting. Your eyes didn't leave him for a moment, not caring if someone catches you staring, you wouldn't be the first to do it anyway.

Rafayel raised his eyes to you once again, clearly not by accident.

You shot him a quick grin, your small smile stretching up the moment he returned the gesture.

Your chest shook a little with quiet laughter, you had to fight yourself, biting your cheek to finally turn around from him to finally focus on the task at hand.

You didn't even notice when the model came back and got himself ready to be captured. Not caring one bit that someone hot stood naked not that far away from you. Thoughts occupied by the one and only Rafayel.

You took one deep breath to calm yourself down and relax, unknowingly sending your professor into a daze with the way your barely covered chest rose up before slowly falling back.

No one paid him no mind, their full focus on the naked guy before them, so he was free to stare all he wanted.

Your skirt barely covered your butt, showing off your entire pretty legs while you sat comfortably, you didn't pay it any mind, closing yourself for the outside world as you always did while painting, he admired that about you, the way the whole universe seemed to disappear for you the moment you picked up your tool of work, be it a pencil, crayon, paintbrush, literally anything.

You probably wore that on purpose too. He noticed you weren't usually the one for dressing up everyday, he couldn't help but wonder if it was all for him, having a feeling the tension between you was rising with each and every lecture he had with your class.

At first he didn't want to believe that you would return his interest so fast, prepared to give you years before finally trying something, he was a patient man after all, but you shattered his plans completely the moment your eyes met for the first time, making him a goner, nothing else mattered but you. He taught this class only because of you, and despite keeping his feelings at bay from the moment he saw you he failed his mission, unable to act like you didn't matter to him, he shouldn't have believed himself when he thought that he'll be able to stay away from you for so long.

But now seeing as you started making your own moves in this game of catch he knew that sooner or later he'll break.

Wanting nothing more than your soul to be his once again.

He didn't even notice how seconds turned into minutes, half an hour passing with him not moving his eyes away from you.

He should be talking about something, walking around the class and watching everyone's work, doing what he was hired to do (not like they would kick him out of the job anyways) but instead of that he put all his focus into studying you.

Your body, your face, your body language, your expressions, the way your hair rearranges itself on your head with every small movement, the way your hands worked on the canvas, the way you breathed.

You were truly a work of art in the purest form.

He couldn't help but make a mental note that you didn't often look at the model before you, maybe glanced at him three times and that was it, as if just those seconds were enough for you to recreate his image to perfection.

You didn't pay any mind to his staring, either ignoring it, playing hard to get or really not noticing anything around you while focusing on your art.

He was only forced to tear his gaze away from you when a student asked to check on their work.

And that's how he spent the next hour or so. Walking around between the canvas, giving advice here and there when asked for it, correcting someone's major mistakes (even if he didn't really care about those), giving small encouragements or simple nods of approval or simply staying quiet while watching someone's work from behind them.

But never once did he get to you.

He wasn't avoiding you, no, you just simply didn't pay any mind to his little rounds, stuck in your creativity even when needing to paint something specifically from your eyes only and not your imagination.

Noticing everyone's busy with their work he casually strolled your way, you didn't even spare him a glance.

Standing right behind you he began studying your work with great interest, every stroke of color on your canvas somehow turning out naturally perfect, effortless. You had talent and passion, he saw that in the way your works always seemed to have a soul, a meaning. You had what it takes to become a remarkable artist, and he couldn't be more proud of you.

Unnoticed by him he became so mesmerized by your art process that he didn't even register the way he slowly began leaning closer to you.

Until his torso met your shoulder gently.

He didn't move away, calm and collected, waiting for your reaction.

You titled your head for a moment to glance at him before continuing with your work as if nothing had happened.

His hands linked behind his back while he innocently decided not to pull away.

“Am I doing good, professor Rafayel?” You asked in a whisper, casually, as if his breathing didn't currently tickle your neck. You felt his body move slightly together with his subtle nods.

“Very. You're a natural.” He said into your ear, not bothering worrying if someone will see.

You couldn't help but let a proud grin appear on your lips, compliments from someone like him boosting your ego a little too much.

“Thank you, professor.” You glanced back at him again, with a playful glint in your eye.

His breathing got caught, you somehow managed to make a playful, cutesy tone sound seductive. Or maybe that was just his imagination?

He shot a quick look at the rest of the hall, not noticing anyone who'd look your way, your place on the edge of the class helping him in staying unnoticed.

Without thinking about it he looked down at you, unintentionally allowing himself to gaze at your covered breasts.

Did you not wear a bra? How come he hasn't noticed before? Well maybe because your shirt was way too good at keeping everything in the right position, embracing your body in all the right places.

He noticed the way you suddenly froze, turning your head around to send him a questioning look.

For a moment he didn't know what was wrong, but then he felt it.

His penis was poking your ass.

Holy shit he didn't even notice when he got a hard on.

His eyes widened while looking down at himself, his body leaning way too close to yours than morally appropriate.

He considered moving away and coming back to his desk to hide his little problem.

But then he noticed how your body slightly shook. His eyes returned to your face, you tried your best to hide your giggles, but couldn't hold back a cheeky grin on your face.

He watched you intensively, curious whether or not you'll make a move to get closer or pull away from him, since obviously you were not uncomfortable.

And a move you made...

Straightening up casually on your stool before reaching out for a paint a little too far away from you, knowing fully well that your perfect ass caught his attention when you bended your back for a moment before coming back to your sitting position, but this time moving way closer to him, making his dick throb in his pants at the contact.

Oh so you're one to play dirty? He's into that.

But he noticed a couple of lingering eyes on him, probably wondering why he spends so much time staring at your work.

Not wanting to raise people's suspicions just now he decided it was time to pause your little game for now.

Reaching out his hand he randomly pointed at something on your canvas.

“Add more shading here, it'll give more realism to your piece.” He said casually, as if he totally didn't think about shamefully rubbing against you just now.

You nodded your head approvingly, instantly moving to do as he says, fighting a smirk that threatened to show on your face.

Stay calm woman. Stay calm. He's the desperate one here.

You told yourself, despite the feeling of wetness accompanying you every time your thighs moved against one another.

But he doesn't need to know that.

As if nothing has occurred between you two he walked away from you. His slow steady footsteps echoing in your ears.

“I'll leave you alone for a moment, I trust that once I come back in 20 minutes the class won't be a battlefield, remember; paints are not a weapon, I do not want a brand new floor design.” He stated while walking out of the class, succeeding in making some students chuckle.

You couldn't help but wonder... Did he leave for a little bathroom break to take care of his problem?

Oh it's a shame you can't leave the class without drawing suspicions cause you would love to help him out.

As a good, exemplary student.

It didn't take you that long to come back to your stuck in mind state, all thoughts leaving at once, only you and the canvas before you existing.

A couple more glances at the model later you were halfway done with your piece, you took a peek at the clock on the wall, showing you that 2 and half an hour had passed since the class started.

Rafayel left the hall about 15 minutes ago, you couldn't help but wonder what was he doing...

Did he think about you while doing it?

Okay, stop, you can't be that needy yet, it was too early to get so excited over the thought of your professor getting off to the memory of your ass rubbing against him.

Just as you tried to bring your thoughts back to the right track the classroom doors finally opened again.

You didn't turn around, not letting him know that you were thinking about him, but you listened carefully to each step he took before his desk chair moved signalling him sitting down.

Silence overtook the whole room for a while, everyone trying their best to make their work look absolutely beautiful to gain a rare compliment from their professor.

You were finishing up when he spoke up again.

“We have half an hour left. Will anyone here need additional time another day to finish up?” His question met with about three raised hands, he only nodded, coming back to the papers before him, but by the movement of his hand over the sheet you could tell he wasn't filling out paperwork, he was probably sketching something.

“Professor Rafayel, did you ever had someone model for you?” You suddenly heard, everyone started glancing around, looking for a person who asked that.

You glanced at Rafayel, he seemed lost in thought, did he even hear the question?

Whispers started growing around you, you made eye contact with that one okay girl who simply shrugged sending you a confused look.

“No.” He answered without batting an eye. You looked at the girl again, both of your expressions showing disbelief.

An artist like that? Never painting a model? Never getting paid to paint someone?

Ain't no way.

“Why not?” A male voice spoke up, one of the three guy students in the class.

“No one ever made me feel inspired enough for me to ask them to model for me. And I was never interested in painting people for money.” Is that so...

“Would you paint your lover if you had one?” A bold girl asked, clearly one of the many with a crush on him.

Finally you saw Rafayel moving his eyes away from the paper and glancing at the classroom.

“Maybe.” He said, bringing people's whispers back with just one word.

You even heard someone jokingly throw the draw me like one of your French girls line.

Damn someone in this day and age remembered Titanic?

Your ears sadly picked up more conversations than you would like.

“Oh I could model for him all day.”

“I wonder if he would restrain himself while painting someone he likes nude.”

“How many things I would give up just to be his canvas...”

Talking like this about someone who's in the same room as them? Bold and stupid.

You at least could keep you quiet.

It was a lot more fun this way.

Those last couple of minutes till the lecture end were spent on conversations and moving around, cleaning up work stations and making sure that you didn't miss out any crucial detail on your work.

A couple people left already, and you finally started gathering your things.

Soraya, the girl you exchanged glances with before, came to your station.

“Can you believe the audacity of some people?” She whispered with a disgusted face.

“Nope, honestly, I cannot.” You send her a sarcastic grin.

“I get it, our professor is hot, but why do they have to act like he would ever even glance in their direction for more than half a second.” She said while throwing her bag onto her shoulder.

“Let them stay delusional I guess? What can I say.” You chuckled with her.

“Wanna go to that one cafe nearby the campus? My girlfriend finishes up her studies about now too, we can hang out for a bit.”

“Sure, why not, I have an hour or two to spare.” You nodded, gathering last of your stuff.

“Great~” She hummed out. “I'll wait for you before the classroom, I need to call her and ask where she'll meet us.” You nodded once again.

You met her girlfriend maybe two times before, she was an overall nice but unhinged person. The perfect balance between cute and dangerous, one would say.

You hurriedly turned around to pick up your cardigan from the floor, when your face collided with someone's chest.

Taking a step back you send whoever stood before you an annoyed glance, which changed into shocked one the moment you saw those pretty bluish-pink eyes staring right back at you.

Without a word he picked up your sweater and handed it to you as if it wasn't weird...

“Your work is great.” He glanced behind you at the finished painting.

“Why, thank you.” You squinted your eyes in slight confusion.

“Do you often draw silhouettes? Most of your work that I've seen are landscapes.” You nodded gently, still not really sure why he approached you like this, with people around you two...

“Yeah, I... I draw lots of things, including human anatomy, yes.” And not only human one...

“Aren't you a talented girl. Keep it up, you're doing a good work.” He said like it meant nothing coming from his mouth. So many people would die to hear those words from him, hear him appreciating their work.

And you were granted that honor.

Suddenly you noticed him leaning a little closer to you. “Better than anyone in this God-be-dammed school.” He whispered close to your ear before casually turning around and coming back to his desk.

What. The. Fuck.

Just when did you become a teacher's pet? Not that you're complaining of course...

Stopping your flood of thoughts you finally made your way out of the class, not acknowledging a beautiful pair of eyes following your every move, focusing on the smooth sway of your hips in that pretty skirt you wore today.

“What did the professor want from you?” Was the first thing you heard once you walked out of the classroom.

“What?” You didn't even have time to fully grasp what just happened when Soraya began her questioning.

“He legit came to talk to you about something a second ago.” She said while crossing her arms, looking at you like a police officer at a suspect.

You exhaled and shot your head up with a tired groan. “He complimented my work.” You looked at her for a split-second before walking away, hearing her footsteps right behind you.

“And did he need to be this close to you to simply compliment your work?” She teased, nudging you with an elbow.

“Oh pl-ease. He wasn't that close.” You glanced at her with a grin on your lips, instantly seeing a similar one appear on her face.

“Girl.” She chuckled, you only laughed and looked back at the huge corridor before you. “You like him.” She whispered into your ear with a slight disbelief. “I thought you said that he's a selfish rich guy with questioning morals...” She continued, making sure that none walking by students overheard.

“That was two months ago. People change.” You made an argument, closing the topic for now.

But you should know that it wouldn't be the end of this conversation, especially since she had to share the new found sensation with her girlfriend.

“Girl, what?!” Angela half screamed in shock staring right at you.

You were only sitting down for like 5 minutes before the whole topic came back. You shrugged while watching the girl process the information.

“Hottest professor in the history of our university, the one that people bet on who will get to fuck, the same one that humbles every girl that tried to make a move.” She stopped her wild hand gestures for a second, bending over the table to get closer to you, slamming her hands on it in the process. “Is interested in you?!” She whispered like a top-tier secret, looking into your eyes as if she could have read your mind that way.

“Honestly, I don't know.” You whispered back to her.

“What the hell do you mean you ‘don't know’?!” 'Raya butted into the conversation, also leaning on the table, it must have looked ridiculous from other people's views. “Girl I sat close to you this whole time, do you think I didn't notice how he was clinging to you while you painted.” She raised her eyebrows, looking at you like you had grown a second head.

“He did what?!” Angela screamed in a whisper.

“He was only standing close, it's not like he was hugging me or something.” Oh you knew you were lying.

Both girls froze up for a moment, their mouth opening in disbelief.

“Are you blind?”

“Or delusional?”

Not able to keep the calm act anymore you began laughing while covering your mouth.

”Damn she completely lost it.” Angela whispered to her girlfriend while looking at you.

“I'm fine, just... Holy shit!” They finally backed away to sit back straight. Perfectly in sync with the waitress bringing your ordered drinks.

For a moment you had to keep up the ‘we are normal’ play, but the moment the woman was gone the conversation rose back up.

“Okay girl, so do you actually like him or should we go to the higher-ups to fire him for harassing a student?” Angela looked at you with a suddenly serious expression.

You nodded your head. “I do like him. I didn't think I would, but damn... I do.” You stated while bringing your drink to your mouth for a sip-

“Do you want to fuck him?” And almost ended up spitting it out at this question.

“Angie...” Soraya laughed at the whole situation, facepalming at her girlfriend's curiosity.

„What?! That's an important question!” She defended herself. „So? Do you?” And the conversation came back to you again.

You exhaled loudly, trying to collect your thoughts, but you couldn't lie to yourself.

”Fuck yes.”

“See? I knew it!” Angela instantly argued with Soraya, who only nodded with a small chuckle. “Do you think he only wants to fuck you, or maybe date you?” And the questioning continued.

“I have no idea. But damn right I would date that hottie, but if it would only be a one time thing I'd still take it.” Girl no, you wouldn't - you already started planning what animals will you adopt after moving in together.

“Honestly I don't think that Rafayel is into one night stands, he seems like someone who would get hopelessly in love.” Soraya stated while playing with her drink's straw.

“I don't have lectures with him so I don't know.” Angie said but then started thinking for a moment. “Buuut... I talked with someone who does. She said that he talked about love as an ‘addictive pain’... He seems like a guy who despite acting nonchalant would love deeply, with his whole soul.” Angela got lost in her mind for a moment, as if dreaming about something.

“You won't understand an artist's mind when it comes to love, it's too complicated, especially for someone who seems so complex.” Soraya stated as if she herself wasn't an artist.

“I know... But honestly the idea that someone could love like this is so, so romantic. I'll stick to that mindset until you prove me wrong.” She looked out of the window, daydreaming about a perfect love story.

“Also if you were to start dating him... You'll need to hide it, and it will be tough for those next years, especially since he has students tailing him like a puppy wherever he goes.” Soraya continued with her monologue, breaking the tempting idea of dating a professor.

“By the way how much older is he?” Angie asked curiously.

“I think maybe 2 or 3 years?” 'Raya looked at you for clarification to which you simply nodded.

“Okay, then at least it's not creepy. Girl, you better fuck. that. guy.” Damn she's a little demon.

“Oh don't worry, I will try...” You took another sip.

Through next week's lectures you didn't really have an opportunity to tease your professor, but despite the inability for any physical contact without drawing unnecessary attention, your eyes continued to unconsciously look for each other.

Getting lost in his eyes proved to be too easy of a task, his beautiful irises hiding colorful ocean depths drew you in every time you raised your head to look at him.

You were falling for him.

Your heart beating faster each time he graced you with even a second of attention, your body shivering every time he passed by your desk, your pupils dilating with a single thought about him.

Feelings were a dangerous phenomena.

You didn't even notice when an innocent crush turned into something more, something that should exist only in fairy tales.

The worst thing? You didn't know how serious he was about you.

He didn't pay attention to anyone other than you, even going as far as to be straight up mean at any allusion made by others about wanting him.

But he never as much as glanced at you with the disgust he looked at others with, every time his gaze fell onto you something soft, something warm replaced the usual cold and cool.

Was that enough of a reason to allow yourself to fall in love?

Probably not, but the poems and stories you read before falling asleep made you a hopeless romantic, looking for someone able to sprout a seed of creativity in you simply by existing.

And he not only planted that seed, he made it grow into a tree full of flowers and fruits, bringing you thousands of ideas everyday.

You knew that it could hurt, the realization that maybe he was never interested in you at all would be a painful cut to your heart, turning millions of colorful butterflies living in you into moths.

You prayed for that day to never come.

You prayed for your tree to never wither.

Another day at university ended, people gathered their things, about to go on with their day, class emptying by the second.

But you stayed behind.

The professor who led the lecture left together with the students, something you haven't really noticed, too busy with drawing in your sketchbook, head in the clouds.

Inspiration came to you randomly, at first you were just bored with the discussed topic so innocently you began scribbling, making random lines that suddenly stopped being so random, your hands working their magic before your mind could keep up.

And suddenly the body on the page got a face.

Rafayel.

The figure not leaving your mind ever since you admitted to yourself you liked him.

You lifted your head for a moment, you were about to draw some details...

Noticing no one in the classroom anymore you breathed out in relief, no one saw what you were up to.

There are no more lectures for the day in here...

And you knew that no one would close you inside, as the cleaning staff always checks to make sure no one stays behind, having certain accidents before...

Taking out your earphones you made your decision. And the next half an hour flew by fast.

You were so detached from reality you didn't even notice the door behind you opening up, nor did you hear the slow footsteps coming your way.

Neither did you feel someone's presence right behind you...

And maybe that's for the better.

Since Rafayel doesn't know what would he do if you would randomly turn around and face him... After seeing what you drew.

Peeking over your shoulder his breath hitched for a moment while he forced himself to stay still and not disturb you.

You were drawing him.

Not only him, but... Naked him...

He felt his pants growing tighter with each second, every brush of your pencil on the paper making his head spin.

His heart couldn't take it. His dick couldn't take it.

Unable to face you after a discovery like this he turned around and without making a noise left the classroom.

It was too early... His plan was in ruins.

He was supposed to give you years to notice him.

Years before he would dare to touch you.

But oh my God, why did you have to make it so hard?

Making him pop a boner way too often and way too easily.

You were turning him into some pervert, which he was not. He wanted you for so much more than just your body, yearning for your soul and heart like a madman.

But the bedroom eyes you looked at him with, the slight ‘accidental’ touches you graced him with, your drawing, the way you pressed your ass against him in a classroom full of people...

You were playing a dangerous game, and despite not wanting to come out on the losing side, would he really lose if he'd gain something so precious in return?

What if you only wanted to fuck him? Use him? Go on and spread rumors about the professor being a pervert liking his student?

Would you really do him so dirty?

Walking through the hall at the lighting speed he finally made it to his office, walking inside he locked the door immediately, almost running to his chair with heavy breathing.

Losing up his collar he rested his head on the headrest of his office chair, closing his eyes while he tried to calm down.

You shouldn't have such influence on him, power over him.

But beneath his closed eyelids he saw only more of you, your silhouette, your face, your smile, those fake-innocent eyes, because you both knew you looked at him with anything but pure intentions.

And for whatever sick reason; he liked it, craved you, needed you.

No one else ever had him in their grasp, Rafayel from always being the one holding all the cards suddenly reduced to a pathetic horny man.

He loved and hated the feeling.

Knowing fully well you could use him and toss him aside like a trash bag after you're done.

But would you really? Would you ever break his heart like this?

Fuck he couldn't take it anymore.

Unable to stop himself he reached towards his belt unbuckling it hurriedly and unzipping his fly in a record time before finally taking out his cock.

Fuck he was sensitive, each vein pulsating, tip leaking precum simply because he couldn't keep his imagination in check.

Wrapping his palm around his length he began slowly pumping himself. His mind creating images of you he wished to see in person.

You on top of him, hands grasping onto his shoulder as you ride him, using him for your pleasure.

Oh fuck his hand began moving faster.

You would probably sound so pretty too, would you moan loudly or whine quietly into his ear?

Were you shameless with showing off your body or would you prefer to keep your clothes on?

He let out a moan at the thought.

Would you like it fast? Or maybe preferred the moment to be something sensual and gentle?

He would do anything for you, exactly how you'd like it.

His hand increased the tempo, wet sound filling the quiet study.

Fuck he was close.

Would you let him look into your eyes as you come? Would you shy away? You had no reason to, perfection in his eyes.

He would worship the ground you walked on, kneel before you, begged for you, he would do it all.

Would you prefer him to be in charge, acting like a little brat just to get a rinse out of him, wanting him to take it out on your pussy?

Would you be submissive? Accepting his everything, even if the overstimulation brought you to tears? Would you like him to call you his good girl?

His girl...

Back arched slightly from the chair, mouth opening to let out a silent moan, dick throbbing in his hand.

In seconds his entire palm was covered in sperm, together with the floor and a little bit landing on his shirt and pants, dirtying it.

Fuck he didn't remember the last time he came that hard, most of the days he forget that sex was even a thing, focused on his art, but ever since you came back into his life? This guy couldn't catch a break from the image of you naked underneath - or on top of him.

You were hunting him day and night, even in dreams.

And you were unaware of the effect you had on him, blissfully ignorant.

Cute. Really.

He took a minute to catch his breath, orgasm pulling all the energy from him, finally coming back to his self he couldn't help but came back to the situation that got him like this in the first place.

You were drawing him nude.

The very next day you had yet another lecture with your favorite professor.

Right after waking up you reminded yourself of a secret hidden inside of your sketchbook.

Memories of the lines you made with your pencil yesterday bringing instant heat to your cheeks.

Just what has gotten into you?

Why did you do this?

Also another, more important question: how the hell could you draw all of the details on his body just from memory that never existed?!

Unable to keep thinking about it without feeling the need to get yourself off you decided to finally get up and get ready for the day.

Starting a scavenger hunt in your closet you managed to put together a simple but cute outfit.

A tight white top on thin straps, no bra because you needed to keep your professor's eyes on you, and your boobs are going to be a great help in achieving that. Next was a white flowy skirt made from uneven scraps of silky material with a slit on your right thigh, perfectly fitting an artistic soul so to say. You added some cute white fishnets with a pretty design on their sides and put on a pair of white platform heels with ankle straps.

Looking at yourself in the mirror you couldn't help but feel pretty (author's note: because you all are pretty ♡).

Today will be another painting session, focused on abstraction, colors, and putting your feelings onto canvas.

A perfect setting for some chaos.

After your morning routine you finally made your way to the university, the place where you first came to continue your artistic journey and now are more focused with pinning after your professor than the actual studying.

Oh well, priorities I guess?

First lectures proved to be annoyingly boring, honestly some professors could think about changing the profession, cause what they were doing now was not going well, one of them didn't even seem like he knew what he talked about?

You had a little free time before Rafayel's lecture, Soraya and Angela used it to steal you from the main hall to find a private place to talk about very important matters.

Like literally steal you; they randomly walked over to you, hiked their arms under yours and dragged you with them, not explaining anything, stopping only when you made it to a more quiet location in the abandoned wing of the university where most people came only to deal drugs and other shit.

“How's your mission going?” They sat you down onto a bench and stood over you with their arms crossed, interrogating you.

“A mission?” You played dumb.

“Yes, a mission.”

“Called ‘fuck your professor before another bitch finds herself on him’.” Soraya added after her girlfriend.

“Quieter!” You reacted instantly.

Angie bended down to your eye level. “Not until you tell us your progress!”

“There's no ‘progress’.” You didn't back off.

The two of you stared into each other's eyes before she finally exhaled and moved away.

“Whyyy, from what 'Raya is telling me you basically eye-fuck him any change you get!” She lightly jumped in frustration, cute, really.

“Well it didn't go further than eye-fucking, sorry to disappoint you.” You send a disappointment glare at Soraya who only chuckled in response.

“Alright, angel, we really have to go to the lecture right now, I'll catch you later.” She kissed her girlfriend's forehead affectionately before taking your hand and urging you to stand up.

“See ya, just let me know later how's the situation~” Angela teased, to which you only sent her a death glare and turned around to leave with your classmate.

“You two won't let me off the hook huh?” You asked her on your way.

“Nope. But don't think so low of us, we are rooting for you to catch this man and steal him from all of those idiots here, it will be hilarious knowing that you're together while everyone continues to send him dreamy eyes.” She chuckled and you didn't know whether you should sigh or laugh.

A minute later you found yourself in the classroom, taking your usual spots you waited for the rest of the students and the professor himself to join in.

In the meantime you shared a look with Soraya more than once and each time she sent you a glare that could only be described as ‘get to work bitch’ to which you responded by rolling your eyes.

“Alright everyone.” You turn around to face the door at the familiar voice and sure enough your eyes meet the man who made your heartbeat race.

Class quietened down instantly, all eyes turning to him.

“Today we have another painting session, your favorite I know.” He walked over to his desk, opening up some papers and rummaging through them. “Now if I'm being honest, there is no final effect we're aiming for today. I want you to have fun with it, let your emotion onto the canvas, play with colors, tell stories through colorful spots on the paper if that's what you want to do.“ He looked up from the stack of papers, his gaze instantly falling to you. “Unleash the chaos.” He added before sitting down and returning his focus to his previous activity.

You glanced over at Soraya who was already watching you. ‘Stop it’ you mouthed to her to which she sent you a cheeky grin before turning her head towards her canvas.

The whole classroom stayed quiet for a bit longer, waiting for some more instruction from Rafayel, who didn't pay them any mind.

You were the first to move, picking out random paints and closing your senses to any third party stimuli, others followed not long after.

You didn't need to think about what you were doing, your hand holding the paintbrush smoothly moved around the canvas, creating something without any need to follow the image your mind usually made up first.

But the time spent between cleaning your brush and picking out another paint took too long, so without giving it any second thought you quickly wiped the paint on your skirt.

You heard some noises of disbelief coming from across the room, but you didn't even glance up at them, continuing with your work.

Soon enough one additional color on your white clothes was joined by others, a little blue here, pink there, green over here, but you still didn't care.

You wanted to be messy today, and where is it better to do that other than literal art classes?

You could feel the eyes turning to you every once in a while, people glancing up from their own works to watch the way your plain white outfit turned into canvas.

You also felt the way one specific pair of eyes stared into your back, knowing fully well who watched you most attentively.

But you won't give him the pleasure of your attention, he needs to try harder for that.

You didn't know how much time had passed, an hour? Maybe two? But you heard some people already walking out of the class quietly, finishing earlier than others as today's project took them less than the three whole hours you had the classroom available for.

At some point you dodged the paintbrush, settling for your fingers. It wasn't that long until your shirt began matching your skirt, followed by your hands and neck, a little color also found itself on your fishnets.

Too busy in your dreamland you didn't notice Soraya, who was already finished with her piece, taking out her phone and shooting you a couple pictures from the side before gathering her things and leaving.

You could hear footsteps echoing through the hall countless times, the only knowledge about the classroom emptying you got, since you didn't bother to actually look around and see who's left.

You didn't even notice how all noises around you fell completely silent, leaving only your gentle breathing and the sound of your fingers brushing the canvas.

Suddenly you noticed a hand slowly emerging from behind you, reaching for your stained with paint palm, turning it upwards.

You didn't need to look behind you to know whose chest was currently pressed against your back.

“Beautiful.” Was he speaking about your painting or..?

His hand slowly moved from your palm to your wrist, up to your elbow, his fingers leaving a purple trace on their way. You took a quick peek around, not a single person other than you two were left in the room.

His nose grazed your neck, you let out a shaky breath at the faint touch.

“I knew you'll do well today, but you exceeded my wildest expectations.” He whispered against your skin, his breath tickling your hot skin.

Your heartbeat skyrocketed, blush meeting the tips of your ears, but you didn't want to pull away, despite the fact that you didn't even know him that well you felt comfortable being so close to him, fitting against his body like a glove.

Suddenly you felt something warm and wet on your skin, letting out involuntary moan you reached your hand towards his face, currently busy with planting kisses against your skin.

You didn't care about your fingers dirtying his perfect face, he'll live.

And neither did he, too busy with finally being able to be this close to you.

Your head tilted backwards to his shoulder, your eyes fell closed as your hand found its way to his hair grabbing a handful to at least try and steady yourself while his mouth continued exploring all around your neck with hot kisses.

His arms embraced your waist tightly, holding you even closer to himself, your free hand grasped his wrist.

“You have no idea...” He whispered against your skin. “How much I wanted you.”

His hand which you weren't holding onto wandered to your chin, turning your face to him.

“Everyday I could only look at you but never touch, it was a torture.”

He took a moment to gaze into your drunk-like eyes before his lips crashed into yours, taking away your ability to breath.

Your fingers pulled at his hair before traveling lower to his neck, not letting him move away.

When did innocent stolen glances turn into this?

His teeth nipped your lip, forcing out a moan out of you and your mouth falling open slightly, giving him a perfect opportunity to push his tongue inside.

You didn't notice when his hand left your chin, too busy making out to allow your thoughts to linger.

That was until you felt something cold caressing your nipple through the thin shirt.

You broke the kiss, allowing yourself a moment to breathe and looked down.

His dipped in blue paint hand brushed your hardened nipple before his palm cupped your breast, allowing his thumb to draw circles around the sensitive bud.

You let out a shaky breath and leaned your head back to his shoulder once again, your eyes traveling to his which were currently busy observing the way your body responded to his touch.

His tongue ran over his suddenly dry lips, wanting more than just to touch you.

Without giving you a moment of breather he bent down over your shoulder, both of his hands moving to your chest while yours were forced to stay on the stool next to your body, stabilizing you, one of his palms continued massaging your bud while the other lifted your second boob to his awaiting mouth.

You let out a whine at his mouth sucking your nipple through your shirt, leaving a wet patch behind, your back arched pressing your chest straight into his passionate touch.

You become hyper aware of the wetness pooling out of you, your legs clenching involuntarily.

The now wet material of your shirt clung to your breast like second skin, your erected bud perfectly visible through the fabric.

Unable to resist the temptation any longer Rafayel moved his hand to pull the material down, exposing your pretty breasts to the cool air of the room.

Your shirt straps fell down your shoulders as your shirt held onto your stomach.

Moving a little bit away from you, Rafayel watched the way your chest rose up with each breath you took, but something was missing.

His eyes fell towards the pink paint not too far away from him, dipping his fingers in it before he returned his attention to you.

His fingers gently met your skin again. He savoured the way you arched your back as the cold substance touched your burning skin.

He watched mesmerized as your skin slowly turned into his personal art piece. But his patience proved to be rather thin when it came to you, as he couldn't keep his focus on being slow and gentle with you while your body begged for his attention.

“Are you enjoying yourself?” He asked in a raspy voice, not giving you the time to answer as his mouth returned to your now bared breast.

The explosion of sensations made your entire body tremble slightly, your hand shot up to his head, hugging him closer to yourself. “Ah... Y-yes-” Your shaky, quiet voice pleasured his eardrums. “Please, Rafayel... More.” You whispered as his tongue slipped out from his mouth to lick your now damp nipple.

“More?” He asked, not moving his mouth away from you, his hot breath caressed your skin. “You want more?” He sucked hard on your bud, pulling your entire breast up as his hand left it without support, traveling down your body, stopping on your lower stomach. “Do you need me here, cutie?” He let go of your breast with a plop, resulting in it jumping up a bit before settling in its place, the other still gently massaged by his other palm.

“Yes, please.” You whispered into his ear, opening up your legs as an invitation.

He felt his dick throb at the view.

The slit on your skirt exposed your thigh, giving him a perfect opportunity to sink his hand under the material.

Which he did.

His palm without rush traveled your entire exposed thigh before slowly moving his hand back up, this time; under the previously clean, white material.

Your hips moved impatiently to which he responded by squeezing your breast as a warning.

Your eyes rose up from his hand disappearing under your skirt to his face, he was already looking at you.

Keeping the eye contact you moved your hand to caress his ear while leaning on your other one still planted against the wooden surface of the seat, slowly from his ear you moved it to his neck once again, bringing his face closer.

“Please.” You breathed out a millimeter away from his lips, a second later catching them in a kiss. His hand squeezed your chest once again at the unexpected affection before he let himself drown in it.

It was weirdly sweet and gentle compared to the situation you were currently in, but he didn't change the tempo, leaving it soft and not rushing.

But his hand was much more wicked than his mouth, as with one sharp move he ripped the material of your fishnets right at your opening, you only managed to let out a surprised gasp that he swallowed.

His palm touched your pussy through the soaked material of your underwear, you parted your lips in a silent whine but didn't pull back from him, at least not before he applied preasure right at your clit.

Letting out a moan you bit your lip, remembering where you were, but there was no way in hell you'll be stopping him now.

His palm left your breast to fully wrap his arm under your chest, holding you close to him as his other hand began slowly moving in circles around your sensitive bud.

You let your face fall to his chest, his chin planted on the top of your head while you listened to his quicken heartbeat.

Unrushed, his fingers moved the wet material to the side and despite not being able to see you with your skirt in the way he still managed to find all your weak spots just by the sense of touch.

“Raf...” You whispered into his crumpled shirt as his fingers gently explored your slit without the fabric in the way.

“I know baby, don't worry, I got you.” He gave your forehead a soft kiss before dipping his finger into you without any warning.

You let out a quiet cry, tugging at his shirt.

You were so wet and relaxed he was able to pull his digit all the way in without any problems.

Slowly he began moving it inside you, listening to the squelching noise your pussy made with his every move.

“Shh, keep quiet for me.” He cooed into your ear before a second finger went inside you.

You clung to him like to a salvation, while he continued pleasuring you.

His fingers speed up their movements, more wet sounds filled the quiet and empty classroom.

You wanted to moan loudly, but forced yourself to bite your lip and take it silently.

“Good girl.” He praised noticing your struggles, his fingers speed up again while his thumb focused on your swollen clit.

Your mouth opened in response to the stimulation he put you through, eyes closing in delight as you felt your stomach clenching.

“I'm-” You tried to warn him to which he responded by quickening his pace even more, abusing that spongy spot inside you. “Clo- fuck- close!” You cried out, holding onto him tightly.

“Let go for me, princess.” He said and you couldn't hold it any longer, falling apart in his hands, going limp as he held you.

The sensation shot through your entire body, his fingers slowed down their abuse before gently retreating from your cunt.

Oh fuck that was the most intense orgasm you ever had.

Rafayel continued holding you while you slowly came back to yourself, breathing hard.

Just then you reminded yourself that you didn't think about his pleasure at all, you opened your eyes while your palm slowly moved down towards the tent in his pants. But before you could have squeezed his length through the material of his pants his hand came to stop you, grasping onto your wrist and pulling your palm away from his hard dick.

“Not today, princess.” He smiled at you, totally innocent as if his other hand wasn't still under your skirt.

Speak of the devil; as in the same moment he moved his palm from under your clothes and moved it up to his mouth.

You watched with widened eyes as he put his soaked by you digits into his mouth, testing you like he would savour an expensive dish.

You felt even more wetness leaking out of you at the view.

“Delicious.” He smiled again, unbothered by your surprise as he pulled you in for another kiss, you could taste yourself on his mouth as you got lost in the sensation once again.

The moment you pulled away you finally reminded yourself what you just did.

“Holy fu- We just...” You breathed out, looking at yourself in disbelief.

“We just had some fun together, well earned fun, might I add.” He said casually, caressing your cheek gently.

His eyes fell down for a moment, widening slightly at the sight of your bare breasts, full of love bites and paint. His dick won't go to sleep anytime soon, that's for sure.

He took a good while to take you in. Your hair didn't look messy, but still didn't look very fresh either, your top still rested on your stomach with the straps holding onto your elbows, waiting to be pulled up again, your skirt was full of colors placed there by you yourself through the lecture, now maybe your fishnets didn't look broken, however that was only because the rip was hidden behind your skirt, together with your soaked panties which were probably still planted to a side, right where he left them.

He felt his face heating up, you looked like a walking sinful masterpiece.

His masterpiece.

“Your clothes are dirty because of me.” He followed your gaze down to take a look at himself, and sure enough he noticed random patches of paint every here and there, but he didn't care.

“It's okay, I have spare ones in my office anyway.” He calmed you down.

Noticing how suddenly you saddened up he began worrying that maybe he overstepped, maybe it was too early for this step, maybe-

But you silenced his panicked mind with a simple hug.

He took a second to reciprocate, surprised by your affection.

You looked fragile in his arms, as if the whole confidence from an hour ago has left you.

He got worried that maybe he really did something wrong.

“We shouldn't have.” You said gently into his neck, not pulling back.

“We shouldn't.” He agreed.

“Do you regret it?” Your voice broke, as if you wanted to cry.

“No.” He answered instantly, not a hint of hesitation. “Do you?” You shook your head.

Pulling back from him you fixed your shirt to hide your chest, the material didn't lay on you as good as it did before but it had to do for now.

“You're my professor.” You looked into his eyes, he looked at you with worry plastered on his face, nodding his head gently. “No one can know.” You said and stoop up from your seat on shaky legs.

Instantly his hand caught your waist to stabilize you, to which you responded with a grateful smile.

“It will be our secret.” You said while not moving away from him just yet. He nodded once again, too stunned to speak, you didn't just turn around and leave him alone after you got what you wanted?

You smiled at him again, looking like an angel in his eyes.

Pulling even closer to him you gave him one more kiss, savouring the feeling for later.

And then finally you turned around gathering your things slowly.

You heard him walking away, but didn't glanced back at him, a sound of a key turning in the lock broke the silence. You reached under your skirt to fix your panties, which didn't feel comfortable as of now at all.

But then when you picked up your bag from the floor you felt something dropping onto your shoulders.

His cardigan.

You looked behind you while holding the edges of his sweater together.

Without any words he simply kissed you once again, putting all his feelings into that one, last peck.

Pulling apart felt like a crime, but you had to.

“Have a good day, professor.” You turned around and moved away, glancing one last time over your shoulder before going through the door.

Luckily there wasn't anyone on your way through the university's hallway as most people already finished with their lectures for today.

You walked out of the building and took a very much needed breath of fresh air.

Your mind worked overtime, what will happen after today?

Will he act like he didn't do anything?

No, there's no way he will, right..?

Your legs still felt like jelly and with every step you took you could feel the way your abdomen squeezed in uncomfortable motion. Your long and hurried steps didn't help it, as you wanted to make it home as soon as you could.

You needed your bed, or a bath, preferably both.

You picked out your phone to check the time, noticing that it was an hour after your usual lecture ending time.

Next thing you noticed were notifications from social media and your group chat with Sora and Angie.

CALL US THE MOMENT YOULL WALK THROUGH THE DOOR WE HAVE A URGENT TOPIC TO DISCUSS!

Professor's Princess

yes, ma'am

The phonecall lasted an hour, at some point you were making yourself food in your underwear while talking to them about what happened, too lazy to put on fresh clothes.

Their reactions to the knowledge about the Rafayel finger fucking you in his classroom were absolutely priceless.

Angela screamed and dropped her phone, running around her apartment like crazy (luckily her roommate wasn't home), while Soraya opened up her camera just to show you her shocked expression that lasted 2 minutes before she started laughing so much she couldn't breathe.

Once again they promised not to tell anyone your secret, teasing you for seducing your professor for the whole hour after which you finally said goodbye.

You sat down on the couch with your food, turning on the TV on some random channel to entertain yourself during your dining.

The feeling of his fingers working deep inside you didn't leave your memory for even a second. Holy shit you actually did it.

Glancing at the carelessly thrown onto the floor clothes you felt your cheeks heat up.

He made you feel so good, so comfortable... As if you knew him for much longer than two and half months, as if your body recognized him, craved him the way your mind did.

For whatever reason you believed that he won't hurt you, won't break your heart, instead treating it like his dearest treasure.

Your eyes moved to your half finished dinner before turning to the TV screen where main characters currently confessed their love to each other in some depressive settings.

Then you looked down onto yourself.

A random loose t-shirt thrown onto your bare upper body hiding the material of your underwear almost perfectly. Of course it was fresh underwear, the other one felt too uncomfortable after your juices completely drowned it...

You moved to lay on your back, knees up, opening your legs slightly.

Your hand moved down to caress your clit through your panties...

You didn't know why but the sudden need for relief was too hard to resist. Closing up your eyelids you reminded yourself of the way his body pressed into you through the fabrics of your clothes, the way his hard length, that you didn't have time to play with, felt, the way his eyes gazed into yours, watching you attentively as you surrendered to the pleasure he graced you with.

Your fingers slipped under the damp material, you let out a shaky moan.

“Rafayel...” You whispered into the night.

Unknowingly to you: your little fun disrupted someone's attempts at painting...

With each second of your body falling deeper into the pleasure he could feel it in his whole body, his mind clouding with memories of your sounds and expressions, your painted body showing before his eyes each time they fell closed.

Oh how much he would give to be next to you right now...

But he had to settle for less as of now.

His hand traveled past the waistband of his loose pants, his vivid imagination showing him sinful images of what could have happened if you were next to him right now.

And together but separately you chased after the pleasure, calling out each other's names into the nothingness as you let yourself go, wanting only one thing.

To cross all boundaries.

“I heard bitches from my class talking about your man like they were dogs in heat.” Angela complained while sitting next to you and Soraya.

All three of you had some free time before the next lectures and decided to kill some time in the academy cafeteria.

“My man?” You raised your eyebrows in confusion.

“Your future man if you want to focus on the details, which we don't do, cause he's your man already in my eyes.” She added, looking at you like you just insulted her entire family.

You nodded slowly, picking up your drink to run away from the topic.

“I swear I'm this close to closing you and him in some empty room just to force you to talk about your feelings.” Yeah, she wasn't about to drop it.

“Our feelings? How do you know how he feels about me, he might as well just be playing around.” You voiced your concerns out loud, even though you tried not to think about that possibility.

“Girl, are we deadass right now?” Oh she was mad...

“Honestly if he was just playing with you as you said, he wouldn't get you off and treat you like a porcelain while not letting you touch him at all to return the favor.” Soraya finally spoke up. “Guys think with their dicks, if he didn't feel anything towards you be wouldn't act like... That.”

“How can you know how guys think? You have never dated one in your entire life.” You said jokingly, but honestly grateful for the reassurance.

“Are we for real right now? Who doesn't know how the male gender works?” She looked insulted, you chuckled at the sight.

“Anyways.” Once again you turned your head to Angela. “I'm sure that he likes you back. Really, from what you told us he seems crazy over you, dare I say.” Suddenly instead of a playful, mischievous spark you saw honesty in her eyes.

“I wish I could believe that, but really we haven't talked even once. It's all about stolen glances and touches away from prying eyes. I just wish he would tell me what am I to him, but really we have no way of even having this conversation.” We have no right to be, you thought.

”Oo-ooh...” You glanced at 'Raya, noticing her eyes focused on something in the distance, following her gaze you and Angela turned around.

Rafayel was standing in the entrance to the hall with his arms crossed... Looking straight at you...

“Someone's in trouble..?” Angela whispered to you, staring at your professor.

“I don't think so..?” You whispered back.

Noticing how your attention was finally on him he grinned slightly and turned around to leave. Suspiciously glancing back at you over his shoulder before disappearing.

“Go to him.” You looked over at your classmate, unsure. “Ain no way he was here by accident, looking at you like he wanted to eat you whole, run, girl, I think your talk is due.”

Not waiting for second thoughts to appear you stood up and fixed your dress, abandoning your almost finished lunch in the name of what you think was love...

“Be ready to buy me those ice cream.” Angie said, looking in the direction where you disappeared a second ago. She heard a snort coming from her girlfriend and smiled, hoping for the best for you.

Meanwhile you were busy chasing Rafayel's shadow while trying not to look too suspicious to the students you passed.

Damn this building was really huge, you remembered how many times you lost your way during your first year here.

Taking another turn you didn't see him in front of you anymore.

There were three corridors before you and no sight of Rafayel... Where could he go? It was a wing full of storage rooms, almost no one passed by here on accident.

Looking around you noticed one door on your right slightly ajar, soft light coming from the inside.

Unable to turn back now you slowly strolled towards the door, coming close enough to it you took one deep breath before reaching for the door handle and opening it wider without any rush.

First thing you noticed was a painting work place, canvas turned away from you, not letting you see what's on it, then your gaze moved to the side, a silhouette looked out of the window, as if oblivious to your presence.

For a moment longer you contemplated turning around and walking away, but then you heard his voice, “Leaving already?” And instantly you froze with a hand still holding onto the door handle.

You swallowed nervously, feeling a lump in your throat. “I didn't want to disturb you, professor, sorry.” Your voice sounded unsure, even though you tried your best to hide your stress.

It was easier when he made the first move...

You waited for him to say something, each second dragging like hours spent in the room without anything to do but think.

Noticing how he didn't move an inch, still facing away from you, you began feeling shy, as if all the things that happened between you weren't truly real, as if it was something completely made up by your mind.

You took a step back. “I should-”

“Don't go.” Finally his head turned your way, his eyes falling onto your hesitant form.

He looked... Sad?

You looked at each other for a moment, holding your breath as if letting it out would pop the bubble you created around yourself.

Then you finally took a step forward, then another one, closing the door behind you.

All the while keeping eye contact with the man of your dreams.

The silence lasted a while longer, either one of you not knowing how to start this conversation.

And when you finally opened up your mouth you noticed him walking towards you hurriedly.

“Professor-” His lips landed on yours, your bag fell to the ground.

You let out a high pinched squeak from the shock, instinctively trying to pull away but he didn't let you, his palms raised to your face, holding it sternly but without causing you any pain.

Your hands reached up to his elbows, grasping onto them to steady yourself, eyes falling close as you reciprocated the maddening kiss.

His lips moved against yours like there was no tomorrow, as if he needed you like air.

He took a step closer to your body making you stumble, your faces broke away from each other for a moment, “Rafa-” He didn't let you finish, instantly leaning in again to kiss you.

Your body met with the wall behind you, his palm fell to the back of your head to ensure you won't hit it too hard, his other hand reached behind you to lock the door with a key before returning to you, embracing your waist.

Your hands fell plain to his torso, you didn't know what was happening, all the stress from a minute ago seemingly disappearing, but the uncertainty stayed there.

You were busy making out for at least a couple of minutes, swallowing each other moans at the slightest touch of your bodies, but you had to finally break away from the kiss because of the need to breathe.

Turning your head to the side you let his lips fall to your cheek, both of you breathing heavily.

“I have another lecture to attend.” You said quietly, not really wanting to move away.

“I'll take care of that later, just stay with me.” He answered and you weren't going to argue.

You turned to face him once again, your bodies pressed together tightly, you could feel his penis hardening up against you, your cheeks heat up.

“We really shouldn't.” You said while looking into his eyes.

“Do you want to leave?”

You shook your head. “Hell no, I dreamed of you every day.” You confessed, watching his ears gain a pretty pink color.

“Then stay, and let me devour you.” His lips fell onto yours again, hands grabbing onto the material of your dress while his body continued pressing you into the wall.

Your arms embraced his neck, holding him tightly, the thought of him moving away unbearable.

“Please, professor.” You breathed out against his lips, unable to tear away from him. “Take care of me.” His hands slid down to your ass, grabbing it tightly before forcing you to jump onto him, your legs wrapped around his waist without a protest, the skirt of your dress rode up.

Making sure to keep you steady in his arms he walked over to his desk, not stopping his abuse on your mouth for a moment, his tongue meeting with yours.

One of his hands left you to throw off the things laying abandoned on his desk before sitting you down on it.

His hands began exploring your covered body, not letting an inch of your skin go untouched, from your back to your shoulder, stomach to chest, thighs down to your knees.

He wanted to imprint the way you felt into his mind, paint your image into the back of his eyelids to see you every time he closed his eyes.

He was drowning in your presence and didn't even want to look for saving, accepting his fate with open arms and heart.

His fingers digged into the skin of your thighs, your hips moved involuntarily, raising to meet his.

He let out a moan at the touch, the friction making his dick twitch in his pants.

Oh you were playing with fire and were not afraid to burn.

Your hands moved from his neck to his collar, hurriedly unbuttoning his shirt, the need to feel his bare hot skin too hard to resist.

You popped out the last button, palms instantly coming to touch him, caressing his soft skin roughly, you were dreaming about the moment you'll finally be able to touch him like this.

Fuck morality.

His palms moved back to your ass, bringing you to the edge of the desk and up to meet his hips.

Your lips moved in sync while you grinded onto each other like there's no tomorrow.

He pulled back from you just to drop his head to your neck, planting open-mouthed kisses on your skin, loud and wet.

You arched into his touch, not wanting to be separated from him for even a second, his fingers traveled under your dress, just like the last time - teasing you through your panties.

“You're already soaked.” He whispered into your skin, coming back to worshipping your neck right after.

You shamelessly rubbed against his fingers, seeking them out, needing them to touch your clit, to sink into you, touch you the way you needed.

Your palm wandered down to his pants, pressing against his hard on.

“Ah-” He moaned surprised, throbbing against your hand.

You began playing with his belt clasp, your mouth opening in a silent whimper when his hand started moving against you faster in response to your actions.

Not wanting to get a princess treatment like the last time you made a quick work with opening up his belt and letting it drop on the floor, unzipping his pants a second later.

But before you could slip your hand into his boxers, his fingers proved to be faster, moving beneath your panties to press against your bare clit.

You couldn't sustain your moan, hips moving up in a reflex, pressing into his palm.

His hand began drawing circles against you, sucking onto your collarbone hard enough to leave marks.

But you didn't let him have all the fun.

Your palms brought the material of his underwear down, exposing him to the cool air of the room.

He stood tall in your hand, precum glistening from the head, you could barely see it with his shoulder in the way of your vision.

But you didn't need to.

Tightening up your grip you began stroking him, feeling each vein pulse against your fingers.

You relished in the soft sounds he let out against your neck, his hot uneven breath tickled your skin.

And then he struck back.

Two of his fingers stretched you out, your thighs tensed up for a moment before letting go, your body accepting the intrusion.

You were so wet you didn't feel any pain or discomfort, that was the way he affected you.

Your hand began moving again in sync with his digits working inside you, he stopped with the kisses, but left his head pressed to your shoulder, needing to be close to you.

You pleasured each other, enjoying every sound made by your bodies, the way your cunt squelched with every move of his fingers, the way you could hear your hand working on his dick, the feeling of his precum smearing across him with every stroke, the way your hearts seemed to beat in sync, and the way your breaths heavier with each second.

Your head empty, leaving only the current moment to matter, nothing outside of this study worthy of your attention.

Suddenly his fingers thrusted into you surprisingly hard, staying knuckles deep in your cunt for a moment, as if taking in the feeling of your clenching walls, you let out a loud moan when they pressed into that one spot making you see stars.

Your palm gripped his dick in response, making him groan.

“I need you.” He panted under your ear, taking out his digits from your hole and taking a step back making you lose your grip on his manhood.

You looked at him questioningly, but didn't have time to voice your thoughts when he grabbed your hips making you stand up.

“Raf-?” He turned you around, making you bend over until your chest met the hard wood of his desk.

You looked over your shoulder, feeling him hitch the material of your dress up, letting it stay wrapped on your waist and moving your panties down, not even letting you step out of them when they fell to your ankles before his chest pressed against you.

You felt the head of his dick pressing against your clit before he used one hand to raise it up to your opening.

“Can I, princess?” He kissed your shoulder gently, using his hand to drag his penis up and down your slit, not daring to put it in without your permission.

You nodded your head hurriedly. “Please, professor, I waited for so long.” You let out, bracing yourself against his desk, preparing for what comes next.

“You're getting off to the thought of your professor fucking you? And here I thought you were more innocent, turns out you're a naughty girl huh?” You grinned to yourself at his teasing, close to letting out a giggle until you felt his head pushing in.

You opened your mouth in a silent moan, head falling down to lay on the hard surface as your eyes rolled to the back of your head.

Slowly he slid into you, inch by inch, your walls welcoming him in.

“Oh fuck-” You whispered when he pushed last inch in, fitting so well inside you.

You felt his hot breath on your back, his hands moving to grab onto your waist, holding you tightly.

He gave your skin one last affectionate kiss before starting to move, leaving your heat halfway before pushing in again, your body rocked with his thrust.

He didn't stop after that, slowly finding his rhythm.

Your hands gripped onto the edges of the desk, he felt so good, like you were meant to fit together,

“Please, faster.” You plead him, looking over your shoulder to meet his lust driven eyes.

“Oh? Is that not enough to satisfy you, princess?” Fuck, his unusually deep voice did things to you.

Feeling you clench at his comment he chuckled in a low tone, as if amused.

“Do you need something more like...” He gripped your waist tighter, fingers digging into your skin. “This?” He thrusted into you harshly, making the entire desk move. You cried out, arching your back.

He repeated the motion, this time moving his hips back until only the head remained inside you before sinking in deep, his balls hitting your clit.

You moaned at the stimulation, wanting nothing more than for him to fuck you forever.

“Tell me, princess, do you like it hard, like this?” He began thrusting again, his tempo increased, not acting gentle now in the slightest, taking what he wanted; what he knew you wanted.

You were like a doll in his arms, ready for him to do anything to you, you could take it.

His fingers took a grip on your hair, pulling your head back harshly, making you arch deeper.

“I asked,” He said right next to your ear, not stopping his hips for a moment. “Do you like it?”

“Yes-” You tried to make a sentence but he sped up the tempo at the same time you let out a word, “Fuck- yes, professor! Please fuck me hard!” You nearly screamed, forgetting where you are.

“Good girl.” He praised, fixing his angle to penetrate you deeper, hitting all your weak spots. You felt your mind go dumb, pussy clenching around him at his words. “I'll give you what you want.” He straightened up, letting go of your hair.

He gripped your waist and hips, his length restlessly moving in you, not giving you a second to breath.

Oh fuck he hit so deep-

You felt your orgasm begging to build, walls involuntarily tightening up around him.

You heard the prettiest, nastiest moan leaving him the moment he felt you clench around him.

His hand left your waist to move to your clit, pressing and caressing it roughly.

You choked on your scream, feet moving to stand on your toes.

You didn't know whether you tried to move your hips back against him, allowing him to hit your sensitive spots even easier, or pull away from his dick at the overwhelming sensation.

“You gonna come for me?” He asked, almost out of breath, feeling close himself, but not wanting to reach his peak before you.

You nodded your head weakly, hips thrusting back against his rapidly, pleasure consuming you.

Wet sounds of sex echoed from the walls, massaging your eardrums in the best way.

“Rafayel-” You let out a yelp, his hand working against you, guiding you to the pleasure you didn't know before.

“Come for me, princess.” Fuck you couldn't take it anymore.

Your pussy clenched around him as if wanting to keep him there forever, hands bracing against the desk to keep you from hitting your head, legs shaking.

You let out a pornographic moan, riding out your intense orgasm.

You wanted this for so long.

Despite the hand from your clit going missing he didn't stop his abusing thrusts, desperate to reach his peak, overstimulating you. “Professor-” You let out weakly, arm reaching behind you to press against his stomach.

“You can take some more, can't you?” He whispered, lost in his pleasure.

You moaned in protest, not sure whether you could handle him for much longer without a break.

He gave you one hard thrust before going still for a moment, balls deep inside you.

You thought he stopped for good, but then he reached for your leg, moving it up until your knee touched the surface of the desk, your panties laying flat on the floor around your other feet.

“Just a little more, baby.” He said, grabbing your ass and looking at the way your pussy stretched out around him.

Then he began moving again, instantly going fast.

You moaned, tears swelling in your eyes at the overstimulation, but you can take it; for him.

“Fuck, your cunt feels so good.” He whispered with invisible to you hearts in his eyes.

You stayed obedient, taking what he gives you, needing his release like you needed painting: necessary for the peace of your soul.

“I'm close-” He moaned out, losing his rhythm.

“Come inside, please!” You begged, looking over your shoulder with pleading eyes.

He looked uncertain.

“I'm on the pill, please, give it to me, Rafayel.” You grabbed the shirt that stayed on his shoulders this entire time, not allowing him to move away from you.

That argument seemed to work, because in a second he reached for your hand, clasping it with his own while the other embraced you tightly, pulling you to him.

“I'll give my everything to you, princess. You don't even need to ask.” He pulled up his hand from your waist to your chin, making your head tilt to the side, swallowing your moans in a kiss.

And then; he came.

Stopping his movements inside you with his dick filling you up to the fullest, throbbing while his cum shot into you.

You moaned into the kiss, both of you hungry for each other, open mouths moving against one another with full intention of sucking the other's soul out.

He pulled away to breath, his forehead meeting with yours, eyes closing when he came back from his high.

It took him a moment, but he had to finally pull out his softening dick from your warm and comfortable walls.

His cum leaked from you the moment he pulled out, he almost got hard again at the view, but he couldn't let himself go that far just yet, he needed to take care of you first.

He pulled up his underwear and pants in a rush, you stayed in the same position he left you in, trying to get your breathing to steady.

He pulled your leg down from the desk, holding your waist to make sure you won't fall when standing up, one of his hands moved to help you raise your other leg up, letting your panties fall to the floor completely.

He moved to his desk chair, holding you tightly and making you take a step with him before he fell onto the seat, pulling you after him to sit on your side on his lap.

Your head fell to his shoulder, chest raising up and down rapidly, heartbeat still going crazy.

He hugged you tightly, letting you rest in him for as long as you'll need it. His palm reached to brush your hair from your resting face before falling once again to your back, caressing it softly.

“You were perfect.” He whispered into your hair, planting a sweet kiss on your head, hearing your content sigh at the gesture.

He noticed you opening up your suddenly heavy eyes, gazing up at him.

“Hm?” He looked right back at you with a small smile.

Your hand moved up, touching his cheek gently and bringing his face to yours, your lips meet in a soft kiss, the simple affection providing comfort to the both of you.

You didn't know yet what that meant to your relationship, but one thing was obvious:

There's no way you'll let each other go separate ways after that.

Your kiss broke, your head falling into the crain of his neck as you cuddled.

Your eyes opened lazily to take in your surroundings, something you didn't have time to focus on before.

The walls were in a cold blue tone, floor and the furniture in dark brown, ceiling plain white.

It wasn't much, but it felt cozy, despite the melancholic feeling it brought you.

Then your eyes picked at something you saw earlier, but from a different angle.

The canvas you noticed before bears an unfinished painting of a female silhouette in a white dress sitting on the road, drawn from her back, she watched an ocean that spread in the distance, between the trees on the sides looking like they opened up before her to show her the view.

Beautiful, like each work of Rafayel's.

You didn't linger on who might be the woman in his painting, too tired to think.

“Tired?” He asked as if reading your mind. You nodded into his chest, not wanting to move an inch away from his embrace.

A moment of silence followed before he spoke up again.

“I need to get you home.”

“Already?” You murmured, still not moving.

“Everyone's in lecture right now, it'll be easy to sneak off through the side entrance.” He explained with a chuckle at your behavior.

“Yhym, okay...” You agreed, still not moving-

He chuckled once again, standing up with you in his arms and placing you back onto the chair, without him under you for support.

You opened up your eyes again to send him a questioning glance, but he didn't take notice of it, walking over to the other side of the room and opening up one of the shelves.

You watched as he picked a folded black fabric and began taking off his pants.

Your eyes widened but you didn't turn around, taking in the sight of his legs...

“It's not nice to stare, you know.” Looking up you noticed that he was watching you with a smirk.

You blushed a little but also grinned slightly.

“I'm just enjoying the show,” You said to which he only shook his head and unfolded what turned out to be a fresh pair of pants, putting them on. “Why are you changing?”

He looked over at you with an even bigger smirk. “Because someone's pussy left stains that would look too suspicious for others.” He watched as you suddenly got shy, hiding your face in your knees. Cute.

Laughing he buttoned up his shirt, leaving the last two buttons open, then he picked up another fabric from the shelf before closing it and moving back to you.

You felt his arm embracing you and pulling you up to stand which you did without a protest.

The uncomfortable feeling in your legs and stomach was back, you let out a sigh before you could stop it.

“It's okay. I'm here.” He said while holding you tightly to his body, comforting you when you didn't even know you needed it.

You felt his hands traveling past your waist to your sides, his fingers fixing the previously pulled up by him fabric to cover your ass again, you felt something soft wrapping around you a second after.

Glancing down you noticed he covered your legs with a blanket, wrapping it around your waist.

Without waiting for any comment he picked you up princess style, holding the fabric to your body together with your bag that he picked up from the floor a moment earlier.

Your hands came up to his neck immediately, sending him a questioning gaze.

“Hold tight and press your face to my shoulder.” He began walking to the door with you.

“What if someone recognizes me anyway?” You did as you were told anyway, not in the mood to be rational.

“There's no cameras on the path we'll take and everyone has lectures in a different wing, as you probably already know, besides: do you really think I care about this job enough to give a shit?” He unlocked the door, giving you a fake-hurt expression before focusing on walking down the quiet corridor.

You pressed your face tighter into him, enjoying the way he carried you in his arms, even if you should be scared half to death right now.

“It's really risky.” You mumbled, not really caring at this point.

“Not enough of a reason for me to let you walk back home on your own again, I already failed at taking care of you once, won't do it again.” You looked up at the side of his face, could you fall even deeper for this guy?

You squinted your eyes the moment you walked through the exit door, sunlight not sparing your eyeballs the pain.

He carried you all the way to his car before letting you down right before the passenger doors, fishing up the key from his packet that he picked up from the floor earlier after he threw off everything from the desk...

Clicking a button he heard the car unlocking, instantly he reached to open the door for you and make sure you and the blanket are both tugged inside before closing them.

He glanced around; no living being in sight.

Walking around the car he finally sat in the driver's seat, giving you your bag back.

He turned on the car and drove off in silence that stayed for longer, both of you comfortable just sitting in each other's presence.

You searched through your bag for your phone, finding it pretty fast you unlocked it to see whether you had any new messages.

There were a few not from the group chat, but from the private chat with Soraya.

Ray of Pessimism

some people in class asked why u disappeared, I said u threw up in the bathroom and went home, make sure to follow the sorry tomorrow or we're fucked

story* fcking autocorrect

btw i'm not sending it on groupchat cause apparently angie got some assholes in her next class that don't know what's privacy, she hid the chat but if we send smth there it will be visible again, so wait until she'll give u the greenlight to text there

after all we don't want u or ur hot professor in trouble, do we now

You giggled a bit, not caring about Rafayel's gaze turning to you curiously.

Me

Got it, and thank you, I'll make sure to stick to your story :p

ttyl

You put your phone back into your bag, gazing out of the window.

“Penny for your thoughts?” You turned back to Rafayel whose eyes were fixed on the road.

“Just thinking about... Us.” You exhaled, still not sure what to call the situation you found yourself in.

“What about us?”

“Just... What are we, and what we're supposed to do with this situation.” He glanced at you, not looking stressed in the slightest.

“What do you want us to be?” He asked, like the answer was the easier thing to say out loud.

“I'm... Not sure?” You said uncertainty, wishing for him to make the decision.

“Not sure huh? Because I think you're pretty sure, actually.” He stopped the car and got out of it a moment later, like he didn't just make your overthinking go wild.

The door to your side opened and only then you finally noticed that you were next to your place of living.

Wait, how did he know where you live-

He offered you his hand which you took, carefully exiting the vehicle on your still shaky legs.

He walked you over to the doorsteps, supporting you all the way to make sure you won't stumble and fall.

Right before your door you turned around to face him, unsure of what should be said.

Both of you stood in silence for a moment, looking at each other and thinking too much.

“I just-”

“I wanted to-”

You laughed at the accident, he smiled in return.

“Go first.” You said, he took a deep breath.

“I don't want to be just your professor. I can't do it, I want you too much to stay away.” He admitted, and for a moment you saw vulnerability on his face, something he didn't show often.

You glanced down at your feet for a moment before your eyes returned to his.

“Good, because I didn't intend for it to be just a one time thing.” You said honestly.

Taking a step forward you let your lips fall onto his once again, gentle, unhurried, taking in the moment.

None other part of you touched, letting your lips do the talking without words.

It took a minute or two before you pulled away.

You looked into his pretty eyes, taking in the blush that rose on his cheeks before finally turning around and unlocking your door with a fingerprint.

Opening them up you turned back around. “Wanna come in?” You grinned.

He moved forward before you could have asked a second time, and in the spasm of laughing and taking off your shoes you randomly reminded yourself about one small detail

“Wait, my panties stayed in your office?”

“Did you hear the rumors?” Angela heard from beside her the moment she took a seat in the lecture hall.

“What rumors?” The girl beside her was known for gossip, and despite not being one to believe in rumors easily Angie was still curious.

“Apparently the hottest professor to ever exist fucked someone yesterday, probably in the bathroom.” Angie looked at her classmate with distrust, she was a very good actor...

“How do you know that?”

“Someone saw from a window that he carried a woman to his car.” She said, excited for some reason.

“Damn, okay.” She was this close to taking out her phone and sending you a text about the rumor, but it had to wait for now.

“Do you understand what it means?” The girl continued, not taking a hint to drop it.

“What does it mean?” Girl shut up already, Angie begged in her head.

“If he fucked one student, then it means we have a chance too!” If eyes could kill, the stupid girl would be already laying underground.

“Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.” Angela turned around, signaling that she didn't want to continue that conversation and heard how the girl began talking about it with someone else a second later.

As if anyone would want to fuck you... She rolled her eyes at the thought.

In the meantime you and Soraya had a lecture with Rafayel, he was talking about something to do with the renaissance, complaining about too many things concerning that exact topic.

“He what..?” You heard whispers from all around you, glancing at 'Raya who sat beside you sent her a questioning glance which she reciprocated, also with no clue what was going on.

“... Fucked a student...” You overheard, and instantly you knew what this was about.

“No way...”

“Rafayel?”

“Who's the lucky girl?”

“I volunteer to be next!”

You glanced at your friend again, who sent you a smirk, raising her hand to her lips and zipping them with an invisible fly in the air.

You chuckled quietly.

“Yeah, who is it?” She whispered into your ear, making you shake harder while suppressing your giggle.

“One more whisper and I'm going to just leave.” You heard your lover's stern voice, instantly all eyes turned to him. “I'm already using my precious time to come here and teach you, when I could be painting instead, if you want a different professor that badly I can quit anytime, don't worry.”

You knew he would, yesterday he told you that he doesn't care if someone knows that he began a relationship with a student, you were both adults, and he really, really didn't care about this job.

He said he agreed to give lectures only because he was bored, and planned to quit after a year or so, which honestly sounded like him.

A couple people began protesting at the thought of him quitting, after all - many attended this class only because it was him and no one else.

An eye candy instead of a 40 year old misogynistic dude was rare enough, they couldn't let this one go.

“We apologize, professor, we were just talking that your partner must be so lucky to have you.” One girl teased, probably expecting instant dismissal from him at the idea of having someone, but to her and everyone's shock, he didn't drop the topic.

“It's the other way around, I'm the lucky one to have her.” He said like it was a well known fact?

Soraya's mouth dropped, looking at you with a smile that she tried to hide.

He turned around and stopped paying attention to the nosy people, continuing with his lecture.

Now: let's wait until the message will spread that he's taken, it will be funny to watch everyone trying to figure out who the mysterious partner is...

TUMBLR DOESN'T LET ME EDIT MY DRAFT??? WTF, ITS 17K WORD LONG SHIT, PLEASE TUMBLR DON'T DO THIS TO ME

[alexrosa13]

tw: pedophilia, personal trauma mentioned

Ngl me at 15 thought that dating a 20+ year old guy was “fun” and “something others would be jealous of” of course now I know it's all bullshit and realized why only later on (luckily no one ever came after me other than on social media), I swear teens, specially ones under 14-15 think that's it's something to be proud of when an older guy takes interest in you, I wish someone explained to me earlier on that it's NOT, and those guys are dangerous.

Doesn't change the fact that it didn't protect me as a child, cause back then someone did use the fact that I was clueless and manipulated me into doing what he wanted.

Please explain to the kids why they should never let an older person touch them.

TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

Where's home? one asks - What is home? the other doesn't have an answer.

You were sitting on the floor, resting your back against the couch in Caleb's house.

It was close to midnight, you sat there in silence, with your head in your knees, trying not to cry.

Your work with Onychinus allowed you to access much more secret informations than you expected.

Informations about the explosion in your home...

He shouldn't have to bear this weight alone.

He should have protected himself, not you.

It should have been you.

You didn't even notice the sounds of quiet footsteps coming your way, signalling that someone else was awake.

"Pipsqueak? Why aren't you sleeping?" he asked, voice breaking through the loud silence of the room.

You didn't raise your head, trying to focus on your breathing and come up with an excuse for your current state, but honestly? You just wanted answers, you wanted to bring him back the freedom that he lost after his death.

"Hey." he sounded worried, hurrying to your side and crouching down beside you.

His warm hand touched your shoulder, human...

One of your palms covered his, your head lifting, sad eyes staring into his nebula-like ones.

"What's wrong? You can tell me." he says in the same voice and tone he did so many times before, so long ago. The same Caleb you knew...

"I'm sorry." you felt tears flowing into your eyes, closing your eyelids to get rid of them but only succeeding in sending them down the path of your face.

"What are you sorry for?" he said confused, his palm brushing away the tear on your cheek gently.

"It should have been me." you cried out, not able to keep all of this heavy weight to yourself any longer.

Your body collapsed to the side, leaning on him completely to keep you from falling to the floor. He didn't hesitate to wrap you into a hug, shielding you from the sorrows of the world.

But he couldn't shield you from your own demons and guilt.

"I should be the one in your place." you sobbed into his shirt feeling his arms tightening up around you and his body shaking slightly.

"What are you talking about?" his voice sounded out of breath, still quiet as not to startle you.

"The explosion..." you couldn't breathe, chest heavy from dark thoughts in your head "You should have protected yourself." you should have let me die, as I did not want the price for my life to be your own.

"No." he stated sharply, his racing heartbeat slowing down, trying to calm him down and fight his own feelings "I couldn't let you get hurt, never." he raised your head by the chin, making you look into his full of worry eyes.

"But now you're their puppet, they use you, modify you to their liking... I don't want you to live like this." you screamed through tears, feeling more frustrated than ever "I want you to be happy." regaining the ability to move your limbs you raised your arms to wrap around his neck, hugging him tightly.

"Whenever you're happy, I am happy." he stated while gently stroking your hair, not knowing what to do to ease your guilt.

"Because you're my friend?" you asked with voice as quiet as mouse's hiding in the walls.

Caleb froze for a moment, a memory, not his own, floated through his mind.

It's because I'm your friend. He heard his own voice in his ears, but distance, foreign.

Brushing those thoughts to the back of his head he answered.

"Yes, because I'm your friend." you listened to his steady heartbeat under your ear, thinking about all the what ifs'.

"Run away with me." your emotionless voice reached his ears. Looking down at you he noticed your tired but hopeful expression.

"Where would we go?" he didn't say no to the idea.

"I don't know, and I don't care, as long as I'm with you." you said truthfully. He felt his heart throb.

"We'll run away together." I promise.

You got quiet for a moment, not even breathing. Caleb got worried and just as he was about to ask what was wrong once again, he saw your mouth opening while you stared at his Adam's apple.

"Calm... encouraging... bright... Caleb." you slowly said, every word feeling like something spoken in a foreign language.

He took a sharp inhale when your fingers began to trace the skin of his neck, confused. Then your fingers moved up to behind his ear, tracing the barely noticeable line of the chip underneath his skin.

"You know what I've always wondered?" you asked, suddenly acting weirdly calm given your recent breakdown.

"Hm?" he watched as you moved back a little bit, still staying in his arms, but able to comfortably look him in the eyes.

"Why did you hide so many things from me." his eyes widened for a moment, thinking what possibly could you be talking about.

"The dangers you faced during your time in the DAA, getting lost in the Deepspace Tunnel, knowing that you had people behind your back trying to do you harm, but yet always acting like it's all nothing." you whispered last word with humorless laugh, looking into his eyes without even blinking, as if trying to see whether your accusations were correct.

Before he could open his mouth and say an excuse or something like it's time to go to bed pipsqueak, your palm moved to cover his mouth, silencing him.

"Our childhood, that I remembered nothing about, that I know you know more about than me." your voice shook from nerves.

Over the past 2 weeks when you couldn't meet up with each other you spent your time at the Onychinus's base, getting to know more and more about hidden acts somehow connected to Caleb, together with the flashbacks randomly flying to your head even when you slept, hiding themselves underneath the cover of meaningless dreams.

You were so, so tired.

"Who really was Josephine? Who are you?" you asked sharply, moving your hand from his mouth to his chin, not allowing him to move his face away and turn back from you.

"I'm Caleb." he stated calmly, understanding too well what you were talking about.

"My Caleb?" you asked, sounding like an innocent child, unaffected by the dangers of the world.

"Your Caleb." his hand touched yours, taking it off his face and wrapping your fingers in his "Always, your Caleb."

"Why did you keep so much from me?" your eyes, glistening from tears, searched for answers in his.

"I..." he knew the answer.

You knew the answer.

But still he clung to the last bit of hope that he'll be able to protect you from all the dark alleys of the past.

"... You just wanted to protect me." you finish for him, moving to sit straight before him on your knees, putting a little distance between you with your hands remaining tied.

He could only force himself to nod, unable to admit his failure out loud.

You were hurt, because of his actions.

Your palm left his, rushing back to take his face into your hands, moving up on your knees you planted a soft kiss on his forehead, lips trembling when meeting with his hot skin and unkept hair.

"I don't blame you." and I never will.

Your arms wrapped around his head, hugging him to your torso, side of your face falling onto his hair while you stared at the room coated in darkness, feeling so much and nothing at the same time.

His arms followed your lead, hugging your waist tightly, clenching on the material of your clothes.

"I just want to finally come back home." you whisper into the night, the smell of his shampoo soothing your inner wars of thoughts.

"You are home." you almost didn't catch his words, spoken into your shirt, but your ears haven't failed you this time.

"I know." you said softly, slowly moving your palm to travel from the back of his head to his neck, down to his torso, only stopping when you felt his heartbeat underneath your fingers "Because as long as I'm here, I'm home."

"What is ‘home’?" he heard you ask. Turning around to face you he noticed how your eyes seemed mesmerized by the sparks coming from the campfire before you.

"Home?" you nodded, expressionless as ever. Clueless like a child, but children tend to be happier.

You were sitting in front of a fire that he lit, maybe a meter of distance between you two, your knees brought up to your chest with your arms around them. Caleb sat with one hand resting on his bended knee, the other, real one, supporting his weight next to him on the dirt, leg straightened up unlike the other.

"Where did that one come from?" he asked curiously, thinking about the answer.

"Yesterday when we met Helen and Kolo." you began talking, still focusing on the bright flames before you "He said that he can't wait to come back home. So I asked him what that was, but before he could have given me an answer Helen already called him to leave with her."

"Is that so..." he whispered into the wind, looking at the way your eyes reflected the sparks "Home is a place where you feel the safest, calmest, somewhere you can rest without worrying about tomorrow..." he tried his best to explain, but then paused, turning his head away from you and thinking about something. You looked over at him, curious like a child about the world, waiting for him to continue.

His eyes finally met yours, he saw your innocence, your tiredness, your curiosity, the remains of the fate he couldn't protect you from before, but he will now.

"And sometimes... It's not a place." he said gently, watching the way your eyes widened, trying to understand his words.

"Not a... Place?" you asked, uncertain. He nodded slowly, smiling lightly.

"Sometimes, home is a person." he said, in a second your eyes blinked and brows furrowed, as if trying to combine your thoughts.

"So..." you tried to sum up the knowledge he just gave you "A home is somewhere I feel good at or is someone I feel good with?" you tried to explain in your own words, to which he nodded once again with a quiet chuckle.

"Exactly." he saw your face changing from confusion to happiness, your soft smile being his favorite view.

Then you did something unexpected.

He saw you moving, slowly turning his way fully, sitting up on your knees before crawling over to his side, your exoskeleton creaking with your movements.

He observed what you were up to with curiosity. Finding yourself close enough your head fell onto his shoulder, hands wrapping around his arm that still supported him.

"You're my home, Caleb." you murmured into his neck, face turning back to watch the fire, body leaning onto him comfortably.

With blush on his cheeks he followed you, watching the slow dancing flames before you.

"I'm happy to be your home." he whispered, relaxing with you under the dark, night sky.

"Can I be your home too?" you asked gently, hopefully.

"Of course." he answered instantly.

Because truthfully - you always have been his home.

In every lifetime, he lives for you.

Every version of him existing just to keep you happy and safe.

To endure all the pain that was meant for you, keep you away from the nightmares prepared by fate.

No one else matters, no one else counts.

Just you and him.

In your own paradise.

Embracing each other with love, love that you cannot live without, love without which existing seems pointless.

Two broken souls, finding each other again, and again, fighting the same battles, coming out victorious or dead.

Together, until death, and ever after.

“Because existing doesn't seem as pointless with you by my side.”

“Because existing with you by my side, my love, is living.”

So I kinda want to express my opinion about people headcanoning Love and Deepspace men as part of the lgbtq community, because I'm tired of being unable to express it anywhere publicly without being shamed for saying that they are straight?

And it does include any character from any other game that is said to be heterosexual.

Would you say that a lesbian would date a man because her lover gets reincarnated as a man?

Or would that sound homophobic?

Why is it okay to push your headcanons into canons?

I saw two sides of this war, especially on TikTok, and honestly each side is MAD AS HELL, and some people go way overboard with arguing, instead of just expressing their opinions.

It's okay to want to be represented, and I promise you many games include people of different sexualities and races, I myself am pansexual and proud to admit that.

But why can't we give hetero women one thing for themselves?

Also the stuff with male mc.

Did you create your mc to look male? Cool! Love that for you babes, but still keep in mind that this game centers on women, and otome game is made with a female protagonist in mind, you're free to change and personalize her to your liking, but saying that there should be an option for a male mc is just... Not right in my opinion, same with Nikki from Infinity Nikki game from InFold.

Headcanon what you want, write, paint, express your opinion for as long as it's not hateful and morally wrong, but please PLEASE, respect the canon of the game.

Also people saying that a male mc wouldn't change anything and it's not that deep.

It is in fact that deep.

Love and Deepspace is a game made specifically for women, it's their safe space, a space when men treat them right after so many of them survived abusive relationships - lads men raise standards and make them feel seen, and not as a burden.

The period calendar addition legit made me cry because I had a fictional man comfort me through my cramps, instead of not giving a single fuck like my ex boyfriends.

Do not push lgbtq everywhere, not everyone has to be homo, bi, pan, omni etc etc, I do not shame people who headcanon them this way, but PLEASE for the love of God have the strength to admit that it's not canon and that they are said to be heterosexual by the people who created the game and created them.

Thank you for reading that rant, I just had to get it off my chest, because it's a topic that constantly goes after me, even when I do my best to ignore it.

Please remember, that lads would not be able to choose their sexuality, and if they would be born hetero (created and coded in this scenario) they would not feel physically attracted to a male mc, even if he was the reincarnation of their soulmate, they would probably keep him close and care for him, but not as a lover.

Have a nice day and please don't spread hate for either side, whether you're into canon or headcanon, I hate to see my safe space becoming a warzone.

My life as a fanfiction writer: write 15 fics in two weeks, randomly lose your spark but still try to write, write and write, then randomly gain your spark back after a month of 0 to 1% motivation, start writing again for hours with no end, everyday, letting the time pass, feeling like you're writing too much, but you love it.

Also randomly getting back to your work that you did months ago and don't remember exactly how it's written just to like it even more than when you finished it.

Depression can't win with me, I might cry randomly, BUT I WON'T LET IT WIN, I HAVE A BOOK TO FINALLY GET TO WRITING.

Also be prepared for some more Caleb's depression time, because I'm still not recovered after his myth.

The promise to tell each other about your dating life was made twice, what was the first one like?

The slam of the front doors made Caleb jump slightly in his place on the couch.

He was busy playing video games while waiting for you to come back home from classes, since you insisted he didn't wait an extra 2 hours just to walk back with you, as he finished early today.

But judging by the way you stormed down to your room, not even glancing his way while you ran through the living area where he sat, something happened during those 2 hours when he wasn't with you.

At first he thought you were mad, angry or something, but then he heard a sob right when you sprinted next to him.

"Pipsqueak?" immediately standing up he rushed after you, but before he had the chance to ask about anything you slammed the door into his face, locking it with a key right after.

Standing right before your room he knocked rapidly, worried.

"What happened? Are you alright? Are you hurt?" he heard how you carelessly dropped your bag to the floor before jumping into the bed, next second he heard the way you broke down fully crying.

He knocked once more, with a little more force this time. He said your name loudly, worried sick.

"Open the door. You know I can do it with my evol, so be a good pipsqueak and don't make me use force." he stopped knocking, putting his hands on the door next to his head, as he put his ear flat to the surface, listening to the movement inside.

"Leave me alone!" you screamed, before another muffled cries left you, you were probably face first into your pillow.

"I'm worried. I'm not going inside but I'll wait before that door for hours if I have to, until you'll let me in yourself, I want to know if you're alright." he said, not planning on leaving you alone.

"Caleb please just leave me. I'm fine!" you tried to reason with him.

"Na-ah, not happening." he said firmly before turning with his back to the door, sliding down the wooden surface until he sat on the floor, ready to wait up there like a boy scout on duty.

"Caleb please..." you cried out, weaker than before, sounding like a kicked puppy.

His heart throbbed in pain hearing the hurt in your voice.

"I'll stay right here princess, just let me in whenever you're ready." he said gently, his eyes wandering to the corridor's ceiling.

He heard how your sobs got more quiet. Earlier you sounded frustrated, mad at someone, like you had enough, but now? You sounded broken, like you didn't have the strength to even cry anymore.

Maybe 5 minutes passed before he heard quiet steps coming from your room.

You didn't say anything, simply unlocking the door, but you didn't open them. He heard how instantly you moved back to your bed.

Knowing fully well your intentions without you saying anything he moved up instantly, gently turning the doorknob and entering your space.

He saw you sitting curled up on the bed, you were hugging your knees tightly to your torso with your head hidden in them.

Slowly he walked over to you, moving to sit on the bed next to you, not daring to touch you.

"What's wrong? You can tell me." he said in a gentle tone, reserved only for you. Instantly you shook slightly, sniffling your nose from all the crying.

Before you gave him a verbal answer you moved to lean on him. Without hesitation his arm came up to embrace you, bringing you closer to his side, allowing you to lay your head on his torso.

"He broke up with me..." you whispered, sobbing again.

"What?"

"Broke up... With me..." your whole body shook while you hugged yourself closer to him.

"You had a boyfriend?" and didn't tell me..?

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to make you mad." you cried louder into his shirt.

"I'm not mad, just... Why didn't you tell me?" he asked, trying not to show his disappointment. His jealousy...

"I... I don't know... I just didn't want to bring it up." you tried to explain, but honestly you didn't know the answer yourself, every time you tried to tell Caleb about your relationship you couldn't get words to leave through your throat, knowing fully well that in reality you didn't even want that boyfriend, simply accepting to date him cause he showed some effort, and you wanted to see why relationships are so hyped.

"Pips... Please tell me next time when you'll get someone, okay?" you nodded your head "Pinky promise?" he raised the hand that wasn't currently holding you, showing you his pinky.

"But you'll tell me to." your shaking hand met his, fingers wrapping around each other.

"Deal." you smiled at him through tears, and in this very moment he felt butterflies having a party in his stomach.

You didn't even notice the moment you stopped crying, too busy snuggling up to Caleb, forgetting why you were having a breakdown in the first place.

But he didn't.

At some point you got so comfy you almost fell asleep, not caring anymore about a guy from before. But then, making sure you were completely calm, Caleb decided to finally ask.

"So... Who was this lucky guy?" you let out a quiet hm opening up your eyes.

"Just... A random guy from the class." you answered like it's nothing, because honestly; none other guy mattered when the only one you truly wanted was out of reach...

"How long did you date him?" he almost wanted to throw up at the word 'date'.

"A month or so, it didn't really feel like dating tho." you muttered out.

"So why were you crying over him?" he asked, gently playing with your hair.

He heard the sharp inhale you took, almost regretting asking, not wanting to see you cry anymore over some asshole.

"He probably was with me just to impress his friends, he also broke up with me right in front of them, an idiot with a too big of an ego." you scoffed, still cuddled up to your friend.

Now Caleb was pissed. What the fuck do you mean 'just to impress' his friends?

"Name." he stated, knowing fully well you could hear the anger in his voice.

"Caleb-"

"Name. Unless you want me to find out through your friends." you exhaled. Of course he had to pull out the protective card.

"Casper." you knew he would dare to go and ask around for him. If you tell him right away though there's a less chance of him getting into trouble in case he'll beat him up.

"See, you can be a good pipsqueak if you want to." he kissed the top of your head, unintentionally making you blush.

God this boy will be the end of you... How could you look at other guys when he was the one making you feel things?

It was so wrong.

✩ bonus ✩

Caleb got to know about the guy you dated yesterday.

Now you were at school, already the third lesson of the day ended, and still nothing happened.

You were getting suspicious, Caleb wasn't the one to wait, he was the one to act, especially in a situation like this.

You were walking through the resting area of your school where most teens gathered on the breaks, looking for your friends.

But before you could notice them something else caught your attention.

You saw Caleb with his friend group chilling on the sofas, as seniors they were kind of untouchable in school, everyone avoiding them as not to make a fool out of themselves.

And then your gaze wandered to the other side of the area, your ex standing and laughing with his buddies about something, scaring every younger student passing them... Why the hell did you date that?

Your gaze returned to Caleb once again, he met your eyes and smirked.

Oh no.

Subtly pointing his finger in your ex's direction he directed your attention back to the lousy group.

Then you saw it, your ex tripping on air, falling head straight into the bin next to him.

You covered your mouth while giggling, the next second you heard sounds of laughter from all around you, everyone looking in the direction of the boy who somehow couldn't get out of the bin.

Your gaze returned to Caleb.

He sent you a knowing wink, succeeding in making you laugh louder.

You mouthed a quiet thank you his way, before finally turning into the direction where you spotted your friend group, who currently got very busy with taking pictures of the accident.

Well we all know that most exes are trash, but yours? Damn he took that one literally.

Just Be Yourself

Xavier; Zayne; Rafayel; Sylus; Caleb x female!reader || with teenage kids!

Genre: fluff

Warnings: 300-600 words, lgbtq+ kids!, married lads&reader, reader likes women too in Sylus's part!

Note: as a pansexual person I know how much of a struggle coming out to your parents may be, but I believe our dear lads men would do a great job at creating a safe space for their kids to come out to them

for masterlist and request info head to the navigation →

How would they react to their kids coming out to them?

Xavier was lying on the couch, peacefully watching tv and falling asleep when his 16 year old son interrupted his tries to take a nap.

"Dad?" he walked around the couch to get to him and shake his shoulder a bit.

"Hm..?" was the only response he got, Xavier not even bothering to open his eyes.

"I have something to talk to you about. Can you quit sleeping for a moment please?" and finally he saw his dad opening up his eyes (only half way) and sitting up.

"Yes?"

"Well I..." his son turned to look at the carpet, clearly stressed about something judging by the way he played with his fingers nervously.

Not rushing him Xavier simply stayed in one position, trying not to fall asleep.

"I'm... Gay..." finally he said, looking into his dad's eyes matching his own.

The next moment of silence seemed to last eternity, the teenager would lie if he said he wasn't afraid of his dad's response, even if you already assured him he'll accept him no matter what.

"Okay." that... Was it?

"Okay?" Orion repeated after Xavier, tension leaving him, allowing confusion to take place.

"Okay. It's not my business to tell you who to love." he stated like the simplest thing in the world.

In a second he was wrapped in a tight hug which he reciprocated a little too slow from the lack of his afternoon nap.

"You're the best, dad!" his son cried out into his shoulder, squeezing Xavier tighter before letting go of him to run somewhere "Mom, you were right! I can't wait to tell my boyfriend that he can come over for lunch!"

Xavier lied down again, getting comfy under the material of a blanket when...

BOYFRIEND?!

He looked in the direction his son disappeared to, not feeling sleepy any longer.

Sitting in the dining room with his laptop and a half finished coffee Zayne continued filling up patients reports regarding his last surgeries.

He heard footsteps coming from behind him, recognizing them as his child's he continued with his work not turning around to acknowledge the teen, expecting them to pass by the room on their way to the kitchen.

"Dad? Can I talk to you about something?" he heard the hesitation accompanying their voice.

"Of course, what's bothering you?" he said not taking his eyes off the monitor.

"Could you... Not focus on your work for a bit..?" the presence of vulnerability accompanying their quiet words made him worried.

"Yes, forgive me." he took his hands off the keyboard, turning his head towards the teen.

What he saw made him pause for a moment, brows arching in confusion.

There he was, his 16 year old son, standing with eyes dropped to the floor, nervous, almost crying and in... Make-up?

Seeing how they didn't seem eager to express what was bothering them Zayne decided to push the topic a little bit, already expecting what the conversation was going to be about.

"You look nice." he simply stated, not a hint of anger or disappointment in his voice.

The shock he saw on the teen's face the very next second spoke loudly, tears forming in their eyes.

With a hand gesture he asked them to come forward, taking their hand into his.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?" he gently stated, brushing one tears away from their cheek.

Nodding their head they tried to compose themselves enough to make a sentence leave their closing on the air throat.

"I... I want you to call me Ivy from now on." Zayne brushed their hair away from their eyes, the warm present in his eyes, reserved only for his little family.

"Ivy." he said, testing it on his tongue and nodding approvingly "I like it."

He saw the way his daughter bit her lip so as not to let out a sob before crashing her dad into a hug.

"Don't ruin your make-up, I know mom worked hard on this one." she laughed at the comment "To this day I remember how your mom cried at the party once, with a napkin under her eyes, refusing to smear her mascara."

"Mom's always been a girl boss, wasn't she?" they laughed together.

"That she was, and you're exactly like her." he felt the hug tightening up even more.

"Those god-damned SEAGULLS-" Rafayel screamed, looking at the mischievous bird that stole his paintbrush simply because he put it on a table for a second too long to take a sip of the tea made by you.

"Why are we yelling?!" now the artist didn't only scream but also jumped, startled.

"When did you get here?!" he looked with hurt at his daughter, holding a hand to his chest to calm his heart down.

"Stop yelling!" he heard you, his wife, screaming from the kitchen.

"Of course, cutie!"

"Sorry, mom!" they both answered, turning in the direction of your voice, your figure hidden behind a wall.

Rafayel looked at his daughter, waiting to see whether she wanted something or if he could come back to his peaceful (not really) lookout for inspiration.

"I have news~" she said, almost singing it, and swaying to the sides with a huge grin on her face.

"Hit me with it." he watched her happiness, preparing for the news of the century.

"I have a girlfriend!" she jumped up and clapped her hands in joy.

Rafayel almost fell from his stool.

"A what?!"

"I said something!" your voice rang from the kitchen again, with your head peeking out to send him a firm glare.

"I'm sorry, honey, love you!" he said to you before turning back to his daughter "A what." he pointed at her in shock.

"A girlfriend! You know, a girl, that I really, really like? Like you like mom?" she explained to him sarcastically, watching as he tried to process the information.

"Okay, first of." he raised a finger and looked at her with disappointment "I don't like your mom, I love her." he said firmly, it was important to correct that huge HUGE mistake his daughter said.

"I love you too, darling!" you butt in again, to which he pointed approvingly in your way, still hidden behind a wall and busy.

"And second." he didn't move his eyes away from his grinning daughter "You're too young to have a girlfriend!"

"Dad, I'm 16 years old! I'm turning 17 in half a year!" she protested.

"You're still a baby!"

"I'm not a baby anymore."

"To me you'll always be a baby!" he cried out, upset that his child grows up.

"Dad, pleasee-" she groaned in disbelief.

"Also since when do you like girls?!" he looked at her sternly "How come I didn't know about it?"

"Oh please, I couldn't be more obvious about it, I had a crush on every single one of the female characters in every single movie we watched together." she deadpanned to him to which he responded with his lips turning into a straight line, eyes half closed, a hand on his chin and thinking.

"Okay, yeah, the signs were there." he nodded his head "But didn't you have a boyfriend like a year ago?"

"Yeah, I'm bi, dad." she explained.

"Oh shit double the idiots to protect you from." his eyes widened in panic.

"Daaad." she groaned again, he was unbelievable. She raised her head to look up at the ceiling before her eyes fell back to him "So, you're okay with this?" she asked, a little bit unsure, but still calm.

"What, with you being bisexual? Sure, love who you want to love and all that. What I'm not okay with is all the idiots that are gonna try to win you over that don't deserve you. No one deserves you!" she laughed at his antics.

Yeah, she loved her drama queen dad.

"Father, I have something important to tell you." Sylus stopped humming, turning his head to sneak a glance at his 17 year old daughter. He was currently cooking dinner for you, since you were in too much pain to move due to your period, he wanted to spoil you in every way he could.

"Yes, Lilith?" he asked while taking out plates.

"I hate men." she said, standing with her arms crossed over her chest and sending a dead glare from those red eyes of hers.

"Just like your mother." he muttered, completely unfazed, still focusing on the task at hand.

"No, dad, I mean I'll never be with one, I hate looking at them, and want to throw up anytime I see one without a shirt." he still didn't look like the information shocked or hurt him "I like women, okay?" she said firmly, annoyed at his lack of reaction. Now he finally turned to look at her again.

"Like I said; just like your mother." he deadpanned. His daughter's mouth fell open in confusion.

"Wait, mom likes girls?" he nodded, not caring too much for the topic "But she married you?!" now he chuckled.

"Yes, you see, Lily, your mother hated men, always did, still does, saying that they are all scums and she'll never find herself in a relationship with one." he smiled gently, as if reminiscing his wife's words brought him joy "But then I came along, and now she hates every single man, except for me. Now, your mom is attracted to all genders, in case you haven't noticed yet." he looked at the teen, crocking an eyebrow.

"How was I supposed to notice?! Every time I am with the both of you somewhere in public all you two do is stare at each other and tease each other to the point I want to cry, cause I'll never have someone love me like you love each other!" she argued with him, making some very energetic hand gestures. Sylus only chuckled, yes, him and his wife are crazy over each other.

"Now, now, sweetie, I'm sure you'll find someone who'll love you just as much. Now I do have to say, I prefer you liking women too, I'm not a... Huge fun of teenage boys anywhere near my daughter." he said, coming back to focusing on the cooking.

"Thanks, dad, I knew I could count on you to understand." she said, more calmly this time, grinning right after "Oh! Also, I sneaked to mom like 10 minutes ago, we're doing a self-care evening today while watching movies, wanna join?" she asked, clapping her hands, like a kid talking about sweets.

"Sure, I don't see why not. Just make sure not to hug her too tightly on the sad scenes, she doesn't feel too well today." Lily nodded, running out of the kitchen right after to get into her pajamas.

She loved days on which her always busy father found the time to indulge in her little plans.

It was early morning, Caleb as usual woke up first to start off his day with making breakfast for his family. On any other day it would be you who'd join him in the kitchen first, before your kids wake up, especially on the weekend like this, but this time his oldest son was the one to greet him first.

"Hey, dad." he simply said, reaching out for a glass to pour apple juice into.

"What's got you to wake up at 7am on Saturday?" Caleb asked, focused on cutting vegetables.

"Didn't sleep well last night, I have something to talk to you about, I already talked to mom about this last week when you were gone on a mission, decided it's better to do it before Skye and Ethan wake up." he stated, as calm and collected as his father.

"Sounds serious, what's up?" he sneaked a glance at his son, still working on the breakfast.

"Well I... I have a partner. We hit six months together recently, and I wanted to... Invite them for dinner sometime, you know, so that you'll meet them." he explained slowly, Caleb listened in silence, connecting dots in his head.

"Where's the catch?" he said instantly when Alec stopped talking.

"No catch just..." the teen exhaled.

Caleb looked at the 18 year old boy, waiting for him to finish the thought.

"They're... Non-binary." he finally said, his dad's expression didn't betray how he felt about that "And since we never talked about stuff like that, I wanted to ask if that's... Okay with you."

"Date who you want to." he simply said "I just want you and your siblings to be happy." he put the perfectly chopped veggies on the pan.

"So you won't have a problem with addressing them accordingly?"

"Nope." he didn't hesitate "Now if that topic is over, go and set the table, usually your mom is the one helping me with that, but today you were faster than her, congrats." Caleb chuckled hearing his son groan.

"Waking up early is no fun." he stated before getting to work.

Do you think we are together in every universe..?

"How could you hide it all from me?" you asked with hurt in your voice, staring straight into his innocent looking blue orbs "Everything I know about you is a lie? Everything that happened between us wasn't real for even a second?!" you took a step forward, standing face to face with him, his usual emotionless expression turned into something sad for a split second.

"No. Everything that happened between us was real to me." he said, still composed despite the situation he was in, but he couldn't lie: the sight of your hurt made him feel guilty.

"You helped me all this time, gained my trust, my..." love... you bit your tongue unable to say those words out loud "Just to vanish without a trace one day, leaving me behind. Am I nothing to you?!" you spit out words full of rage and disappointment.

You needed answers. Either you get them today or you will be the one leaving him behind.

"You're everything to me." he said, still with that innocent, clueless voice. Was he really that oblivious to the situation he found himself in?

You stared into his eyes, looking for answers, for the slightest hint of lies, unable to find any as always.

"You wanted to leave, then go. Go and don't come back if that's what you wish for. Don't play with me Xavier." you moved past him, ready to simply take your bag and leave the safehouse, if he didn't want to give you answers then he's not worth your time.

Suddenly he reached for your elbow, pulling you back towards him, forceful but mindful of his strength.

"I don't want to leave. Not now, not ever. I want to stay with you." he said while holding you to his chest, your bodies planted flat together, your face tilted upwards to look up at him.

"I don't know if I can trust you anymore. I don't even know you." your eyes watered from frustration.

"But you do, I'm just Xavier." he said calmly still not letting you leave his embrace despite you not reciprocating it.

"You're also Hermit - an SSS class preadator, and Philo's heir." you spit out quietly, refusing to lift your head again to look at him.

"But to you I'm just Xavier." you scoffed under your breath.

"Well then Xavier, please, enlighten me - why are you trying so hard to keep me here. Why do you care so much about whether I'll disappear from your life or not." it didn't sound like a question, maybe because you didn't want to hear the answers? Or maybe because you didn't want to hear another short and dismissive ones, or maybe you already knew them?

"Because I can't bear to be apart from you. Please don't leave me." finally you looked up at him, those cute, puppy eyes stared right back at you, his gaze felt like a manipulation try, too innocent, too pure for someone as dangerous as him.

"You're the one who wanted to leave me." you said, still hurt from the truth you discovered.

"But I don't want to leave you anymore, please don't do this to me."

"What do you want from me Xavier?!" you finally exploded, pushing at his chest to let you go.

Standing now at an arm length distance you continued to stare into his eyes, fuming inside.

"You." he simply said, unfazed by your outburst.

"What?" your expression turned from anger to confusion.

"I want you." how could he say that while looking like it didn't mean anything? Like it was obvious?

"Xavier you can't be serio-" your voice got stuck in your throat seeing him take a step towards you.

"I am." he looked straight into your eyes. His hand pulled you towards him once again, while his head tilted down, your faces at almost the same level, lips almost touching.

"Xavier-" your voice shook.

"Please. I'll let you know me, whatever you want, just please don't leave me." he begged, sounding like a kicked puppy.

"You-" you said through your teeth, arm coming up to hang around his neck, free hand catching his arm "Please don't make me regret it." your lips touched his harshly.

Not wasting another moment he reciprocated, hands pulling you even closer, clinging to your body, deepening the kiss that both of you craved for so long.

You were gone. Too deep in your feelings to let go of him, even if it'll get you hurt in the end, you want to enjoy his affection while it lasts.

You sat down on the cold cement before the clinic, Zayne following you soon after. Both of you thinking and simply enjoying the other's presence; the presence you'll come to miss soon enough.

Despite the confidence you had in your goals and ideas you had to admit that leaving him is probably the hardest part of taking the next step in life.

Who will you go to if your turtle becomes sick? Who will you go to when you'll become sick?

Who will you go to just to simply talk with another human being who listens.

"Do you think I'm naive?" you asked while continuing staring at the barely working street lamp.

"And stubborn." he deadpanned. You turned to look at him and scoffed.

"Thanks. That's totally giving me motivation to fight for what I believe in." you said sarcastically, allowing yourself to feel a tiny bit of accomplishment noticing a small grin appearing on his face.

"Add ambitious and reckless and you're going to get a perfect candidate for an enforcer." he turned to look at you, sending him a smile you returned to observing your surroundings.

"You know, I'll miss this place, despite what a shithole it is." you chuckled, feeling a sense of nostalgia over wrapping you while looking at the familiar sights before you.

Not hearing any words from the man sitting next to you, you turned to look at him once again, your eyes met the profile of his face basked in the soft light coming from the street lamps.

"And more than anything I'll miss you..." you mumbled under your nose, your voice not loud enough to cut through the sounds of the night life. His head slowly turned your way, his expression not giving you any hint of his thoughts and feelings as usual.

"What was that?"

"Hm? Nothing." you said quickly, not even bothering to try and appear as if you really didn't say anything.

You heard a quiet chuckle escaping him, instantly your face softened up at the sound you didn't hear often.

You didn't even notice the moment you began staring at him, soft smile appearing on your lips, face free from any worries.

Nor did you notice when his eyes focused on you, watching the way you observed him, stuck in your own world, peaceful.

'I'll miss you too.' he thought, but saying it out loud would make your parting harder than it already is.

"It's about time I go." you said, trying to keep up your unbothered attitude, but couldn't manage to hide your sadness from him.

"Take care of yourself." he stood up, reaching out a hand to help you up as well.

You didn't want to admit the way you trembled the moment your palm touched his, praying to whoever listened he didn't notice.

"I'll try my best." you giggled softly, knowing that the moment you'll lose the sight of him will be a painful goodbye.

Not taking your eyes off him you took a step back, but you miscalculated the distance between the sidewalk and road, your foot stumbling down the short inches of difference, sending your body down fast, your hands reached out in hopes of finding something to hold onto, but you only managed to catch thin air.

Letting out a gasp of panic you mentally prepared yourself to hit the hard asphalt, but the pain never came, instead you found yourself in a tight embrace of Zayne's. It was the first time you found yourself so close to him.

Your hands grasp onto his bicep, breath trying to calm down, your heart beating in your ears.

Your eyes close, head resting against his torso, while he stays in place with his arms embracing you, giving you the time you need to pull yourself together.

He felt your body shaking slightly, worried you began crying he moved his head to look down at your face, but instead of tears he saw a smile - you were laughing.

He only shook his head in disbelief, a small smile tugging at his lips.

"Damn, nice reflexed you got there Doc." your laughter grew louder while you continued holding onto him.

He waited a bit, enjoying having you in his arms even if just for a moment.

Slowly you moved away, leaving the safety of his warm hug.

Your eyes met, you send him a gentle smile, noticing the way his eyes soften while looking at you, unlike his cold gaze from a couple of months ago.

"Well, I really should get going already. C'ya Zayne" you brought two fingers to your forehead in a salute motion, taking careful steps back this time.

You managed to turn around before you froze. Your lips pressing into a thin line while you thought whether or not to risk it all and...

Fuck it.

You turned back to see him still in the same place you left him in, observing you.

"You know what" you tilted your head, watching the way his brows furrowed in confusion. You took a couple steps his way, stopping right in front of him "I cannot leave without one more thing."

Before he could've asked or before you could have back down from your plan you went though with it.

And crashed your lips into his.

His body tensed up for a moment, not knowing what to do.

But you didn't back away.

Slowly he reciprocated your kiss. Not trying to fight it even a little bit.

You stood under the dim light, accompanied by the loud sirens of alarms and screams from a couple streets over.

Not regretting a thing you moved your face away from his.

"I'll miss you Zayne." you chuckled for the last time, child-like happiness overwhelming you.

Giving his hand one last squeeze you turned around to run away in the direction of your now former home.

Leaving him standing there with a grin tugging at his lips.

'You minx.'

After yet another stressful day you came back to your apartment, heading to the kitchen for something to drink you saw Rafayel playing MasterChef preparing God knows what.

"What you cooking there handsome?" he didn't turn your way, but you saw the way his ears changed into a pretty shade of pink, almost hidden away behind the mess of his thick hair.

"Trying to make your favorite." you hummed to let him know you heard him, opening up the fridge.

"What's the occasion?" you took out your favorite drink and turned his way while opening it up.

"Just felt like it." you giggled at his answer taking a sip.

Taking a couple steps towards him you paused right behind his body, putting your chin on his shoulder and looking over at his work.

"How nice of you, spoiling your supervisor." you grinned at the way his face heat up. How could a tough SSS preadator be so cute?

"Stop teasing me."

"Oh? But I'm only letting you know how much I appreciate your efforts!" your grin didn't falter.

"Maybe I put a poison in there to get rid of you." you laughed at his bratty tone. Oh he wouldn't.

Even without him saying it out loud you knew how much he cared for you, the memory remaining lost but feelings not disappearing, simply waiting under a lock to be freed.

"Okay then, I hope you're ready to explain the cause of my death to the LCBI." you whispered playfully into his ear before tapping his waist twice and moving away from him "We're short on your yogurt, I'll take care of that tomorrow." you said while walking away, on your way to your bedroom to change clothes into more comfortable ones.

But you started taking off your shirt before leaving the kitchen, leaving him stunned watching your half naked back adored only by your bra, totally doing that not on purpose, making his face appear even redder.

You changed your clothes as fast as you could and came back to him.

"How's the food, pretty boy?" you asked while fixing up your shirt, unknowingly distracting him from stirring the dish, unfortunately ending in him touching the hot surface and hissing instantly "Rafayel!" in a second you were next to him, holding his burnt hand in yours.

Reaching out you turned the stove off before pulling him towards the sink, turning on the tap you moved his hand to stay under the cool water.

"How did it happen?" you send him a questioning look, he wasn't someone who often managed to get himself hurt (somehow).

"You distracted me." he simply said while observing how the water ran around his pinkish skin.

"I distracted you?" your brows arched, maybe you did that on purpose a couple minutes ago, but not now!

He only looked your way with that expressionless, perfect face of his.

"Well then I apologize for being such a hugeee distraction that you managed to get hurt because of it." you said with sarcasm "Can I do something to redeem myself for being at fault for your pain?" you tilted your head, watching him intensively.

"I can come up with a couple things." he stated, not backing away from the staring war.

You only snorted and reached out to pull his hand away from the stream, bringing it closer to your face for examination.

"It doesn't look that bad, only a little red-ish, you'll live." you said, not caring about the fact his eyes dug a hole in your head.

That was; until you turned back around to face him, suddenly standing way closer to him than a moment ago.

"Rafayel..?" you whispered questionably. Slowly backing away from him, to no avail, since with every small step you took back, he took one forward.

Until your ass met the countertop behind you.

"Rafayel, what are you doing?" you laughed nervously, his eyes staring through you into the depths of your soul.

"Am I just a plaything to you?"

"No, of course not, what are you talking about-" you rushed your answer.

"Then why do you keep playing the game, torturing me everyday with your touch and backing away before I can do something about it? Acting like it doesn't matter." you swallowed hard, feeling your throat closing up with nerves.

"I don't know what you mean-" you shook your head.

You knew exactly what he meant.

"Stop playing." he put his hands on the counter next to your hips, caging your body in between them.

"I'm not." you lost your smile, expression turning into understanding.

"What do you want from me?" he asked, patiently waiting for you to answer, to give him a sign.

Instead of words you gave him something more.

You palms gently held his face while you straighten up your body, your lips catching his in a gesture worth a thousand words.

His body tensed up before slowly relaxing, hands moving from the counter to your hips, holding you close while your lips devoured each other.

Something about it feeling familiar and comforting, like he lived through this moment before, like he already knew the way you taste and how your body feels next to his, fitting perfectly together.

He tried to stop you from pulling back, his lips chasing after yours but failing to remained connected.

"Is that enough of an answer for you?"

"You leave - disappear from the Earth's eye for years! Leaving me by myself, without a single thought about contacting me, about how I'm doing, if I'm still alive! And then you come back like nothing happened after I was worried sick for you, thinking that you followed Wolfe to the afterlife!" you screamed at the white-haired man, pacing around in your small apartment.

You didn't know whether you wanted to jump at him and hug him or jump at him and choke him.

You could do both.

"Where the hell have you been Sylus?! Why didn't you come back for me?!" you finally stopped your movements facing him from the opposite side of the room, staring straight into his blood-colored eyes.

"It was safer for you not to follow into my footsteps." he answered simply, untouched by your angry questioning.

"It wasn't your choice to make!" you screamed, letting out all the emotions.

"I'm sorry sweetie, I had to make sure you were safe." he said softly, allowing you to take the time to calm down and let out your anger at him.

"I-" you started, but your voice cracked before you could continue your monologue.

Your hand went up to brush your hair to the back of your head, heart beating fast, trying to steady your breathing. All this time you wondered how he was doing, if he's still alive, still breathing - if he still thought about you?

And now he was standing right there - alive.

Your feet moved before you could register it, taking you closer to him.

Standing inches away from him you looked straight into his eyes, the softness of the red irises glancing back at you felt so familiar.

"I missed you so much." you sobbed out while laughing, overwhelmed with the things you wanted to say.

Without waiting for a response you clung to his body, arms embracing him in the tightest hug ever.

You felt him gently hugging you back, one hand on your head petting you like a kitten, the other caressing your back, your face stayed squashed to his chest, breathing in his scent.

His always fast beating heart didn't slow down, just as you remembered.

You hated showing your weaknesses, born in a world where only the strongest survives.

But with him it was different - despite you always putting out a brave face for everyone to see, he always saw through it, knowing you like no one else.

"Will you leave again?" Will you leave me again? your muffled by his shirt voice met his ears.

"Not planning on it, sweetie." empty promises? Maybe, but even if only for a moment, they brought you a sense of peace.

You looked up, arms loosening up but still staying wrapped around his middle.

"I hate you for leaving me." you said weakly, mad at him, mad at the world, tired of playing the game of survival.

"I deserve it." he said, stating a fact. You had a reason to be angry.

Your hands traveled up his body, finding their place on his face, holding it while your eyes stayed focused on each other.

You had so much left to say.

"Am I that irrelevant to you? Do you think of me as a good-for-nothing lapdog?" you knew the answers.

"Never. I wouldn't think that way about you." his hand clutched your wrist gently, not moving it away from his face.

"Then what do you think about me?" you asked, desperate for his response.

"I believe you know the answer to that question, sweetie." he stated, and in this moment you decided to risk it all.

Standing on your toes you leaned forward, catching his lips in a quick kiss, moving away before he could react.

You didn't have the time to think about what you have done before his arm pulled you closer by the waist, not letting you run away.

His eyes search for answers in yours, before his head tilted forward, his lips touching yours without hesitation.

There's ain't no way you'll let him go after this.

It was middle of the night, you sat there on a poor excuse of a blanket, arm to arm, looking up onto the northern district.

"Caleb?" your voice broke the silence between you two.

"Yes?" he said, sounding as gentle as always, only for you.

"Do you think it'll get better?" looking to the side at him you watched as his gaze stayed focused on the view ahead.

"Of course, I'll make sure to take care of you. Soon enough I'll build you a home on the northern side and keep you safe and comfy there." he said casually, as if everything was as easy to do as it was to say.

"What if the other side is not that much better?" you turned your head back to the view of the city bathed in the darkness of the night.

"Then I'll find a place that will become your safehaven, somewhere far away from here, without preadators and fights for survival. I'll take you somewhere where we'll be able to live our life to the fullest without fear." you smiled and looked at him, catching him already staring at you.

"For as long as we'll stay together I don't care where you'll take me to." you saw how his eyes lighten up at your sentence.

In this cruel world your bond was the only thing keeping you sane.

The only thing worth fighting everyday to stay alive for.

You met as two kids, fighting each other for little things and became teenagers fighting for each other. Now you're about to become adults, still sticking together through thick and thin.

And whatever life throws your way - you'll face it, together.

"You're right, for as long as we'll stay together, we'll be alright." he smiled at you, everything else didn't matter, just two, small people in the middle of the universe, shattering time to stay in the moment for a little longer.

In seconds you were on him, wrapping your arms around him in a tight hug, face hiding in the crock of his neck.

Stunned for a moment boy was quick to reciprocate, embracing you with equal fervor.

There you sat - on your knees, hugging Caleb, arms having trouble to embrace his torso fully, when did he grow so much?! While his hands caressed your back in a calm motion.

Chilly wind made goosebumps appear on your skin, noticing your light shiver your companion was quick to cover you with his body, pulling you to sit in-between his legs, your upper body resting on him.

You enjoyed the moment in comfortable silence, eyes closed while relaxing in each other's embrace, his head lying on top of yours while you listened to his heart, the necklace you gave him resting on his neck right next to your face.

"Caleb?" you asked quietly into his shirt, not moving an inch from his warm hug.

"Yes, princess?" he didn't move either, savouring the moment.

"Do you love me?" innocent question, right? You were inseparable for years, attached at hip, you knew he did, you loved him too. So why did that question seem to hold weight heavier than ever

You heard the way his breath hitched, heartbeat speeding up under your ear.

"Of course I do. What kind of a question is this?" he tried to laugh it off, but you knew what answer you were really looking for.

"No." you moved away forcing him to straighten up and look at you, his pink ears perfectly visible behind the mess of his hair "Do you love me?" you asked again, firmly, looking straight into his widened eyes.

"I-"

"Think about it." you stopped him before he could give you a short answer.

The wind suddenly became more noticeable and louder. You watched as his expression turned from shock to sadness, to hesitation.

Gently and slowly you took his hand in yours, giving it a light squeeze.

"I love you." he said quietly, refusing to lift his gaze from the super interesting dirt on the floor.

Your free hand reached up, lifting his chin.

You smiled at his vulnerable expression.

Glancing down to his lips you moved forward, you already knew he'll say that, simply needing to hear it from him before doing anything else.

Confidently but unrushed you pecked his lips, giving him the time to gather his thoughts and pull away if he wanted.

It took him a moment to understand what you did, his body froze, mind working overtime before finally, finally he closed his eyes and tried to relax, his lips timidly moving against yours.

And in this very moment he knew he'll protect you forever.
