Half Awake, Still Broken



Summary: Stiles doesn't know what's real anymore, but you are, right?
Words: 599
Tags: Angsty, stiles have nightmares
Divider by @cafekitsune
Stiles woke up from yet another nightmare. Anxiety and fear consumed him—he wanted to scream, to call for help. But he couldn’t. The only thing that came out of his mouth was the air in his lungs. He tried to get up, but whatever haunted his mind made it impossible for him to even recognize himself.
He remembered feeling hands on his shoulders, someone calling his name. He couldn’t tell who it was—or if there was really anyone there at all. He couldn’t tell what was real. Was someone calling him? Was there truly someone there?
He still remembered the moment his lungs finally filled with air. He wanted to say he felt relieved, that he was getting better—but he wasn’t. He also thought he remembered someone hugging him. And then, he fell asleep.
When his eyes finally opened—not because he was jolted awake, but because, for the first time in days, he felt normal. But he didn't know what normal really was.
Was what he saw real? Or was it just another dream, another one of those times he’d wake up screaming for help? He wasn’t sure. But he knew one thing: he wanted it to be real.
Your sleeping figure in front of him didn’t go unnoticed. It never did. Not when he first met you, when Scott introduced you—and certainly not when you kissed.
“Kissed” was a wild word to use. You were thirteen. He’d never even kissed anyone before, not even a quick peck. He told himself you only did it because you were friends, because you didn’t want anyone to make fun of him. That had to be it, right? What other reason could there have been?
You, was something he always thought about. Even before the supernatural, before your lives were turned upside down. He had always seen you. He remembered when you were bitten. He’d wanted to go after Derek—though there wasn’t much he could’ve done. But protecting you was what mattered to him. It still did.
He didn’t feel like the same person anymore. He didn’t know why. But despite everything, you were still important to him. He had walked away. You hadn’t listened. You never listened. Not even now, with your super hearing. Ironic. You’d always been stubborn.
So, when he saw you, he just stared—like he always did. He wanted to wake you up, to yell at you to get away from him. But he wouldn’t. He couldn’t. Not to you.
“What are you staring at?”
Your voice was the only thing that pulled him back to reality. He could see on your face that you were trying not to laugh at him. Obviously.
“What are you doing here?”
He could hear the roughness in his own voice, could feel how awful it sounded. And he knew you weren’t going to let it slide without a joke.
“You’re asking me that? Apparently, your head is more screwed up than I thought.”
He couldn’t resist rolling his eyes. You could be annoying when you wanted to be.
“But seriously, you asked me, remember? And how could I refuse the invitation of a friend who needed my help so badly?”
He didn’t remember. He was sure he hadn’t asked. But you were anything but a liar.
“Anyway, I’m starving. Shall we eat?”
He wasn’t hungry. But you were. And he couldn’t say no. As he followed you, he wondered what the fuck was going on.
Because he was certain he didn’t remember asking you to sleep with him. Not even in his best dreams.
Do not copy, repost or traslate my work.
A/N: just trying something new, hope y'all like.

I NEED TO FIND A MARAUDERS FIC
So, there's this fic SW Poly! Marauders x Slytherin! Reader, where James and Sirius are interested in the reader, and Remus isn't. But then, in one of the classes she defends the werewolves from Snape and Iliad, and he starts to get interested. Then the three of them try to win over the reader, TELL ME SOMEONE KNOWS THIS FIC!!!
OH, AND THERE'S THIS OTHER ONE TOO. Where they're not exactly in a relationship, but starting out, then the reader hears that they couldn't do I don't know what with the reader, who misunderstood, they didn't want to tell about Remus' lycanthropy, and understood that the Marauders wanted to break up, then the reader distances themselves from them, and when they confront them they realize that it was just a misunderstanding.
SO PLEASE IF YOU KNOW THIS FIC HELP ME FIND IT, I LOVE THESE FICS 😢

hiii i wanted to ask how you do the gradient on your titles, it’s really cool<33
thank you!!
HIIIIIII
well, first when I create a new post I change the text type of the post to HTML. After that, I use this site:
Then I put in the text I want, choose the colors I want and click run. Then I copy the HTML I've created and paste it into the post. Then I just switch back to rich text and that's it!
Step 1: Change the text editor to HTML (to change, just click on the post settings)
Step 2: Enter the site, enter the text you want, choose the colors and click run, then copy the generated html and paste it into the post.
Step 3: Once you've put all the text you want in gradient, switch back to rich text and you're done!

I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU



Finnick Odair x fem!reader
Summary: Just the pov of Finnick loving you over the years, and remembering everything about you
Warnings: cute but with a bit of angst on Finn's part. Other than that, all happiness and love.
a/n: Well, excuse any spelling mistakes, English isn't my first language. And I tried my best to make it as much like Finnick as I could, but this is my first fic of his lol. Anyway, I hope you like it and enjoy <3
Words: 1.8k

Finnick remembers the first time he saw you. He was eight and you were only six. Your father had gone to see his for some reason Finnick can't remember — not least because he hadn't been paying attention to them. What he does remember is you glaring at him. It made him laugh, which only deepened your frown.
He imagines it was because you didn't like him very much at the time. He didn’t blame you. With your older brother constantly saying that no boy was any good, it was hard to be friends with anyone he was always badmouthing. Finnick didn’t blame your brother either — in a world like theirs, any protection, even unnecessary, was better than none. Still, nothing changed how cute and funny he had found you at the time. After that day, you never met in person again.
The time he considers the second was when his name was called at the reaping. He remembers your eyes glued to him; you were twelve, and he was fourteen. He could feel your pity seeping through his skin. He didn’t blame you — after all, like it or not, it was still the Hunger Games. But knowing that you were looking at him made it almost funny to him, and it was with that thought in mind that he entered the arena.
The third time was when he returned home victorious. Of course, there were lots of people congratulating him — his relieved family and everyone else — but the only thing he saw was you, walking toward him. He didn't think it was of his own volition, considering you was with your father and brother, but as soon as you approached, you wore the best, most beautiful smile he had ever seen you give. And for the first time in years, you spoke to him.
"Congratulations on winning, Finnick. I'm glad you're back... well, we're glad."
He could see the smile on your father’s face, though he couldn’t say the same for your brother. Not that he minded. So he just smiled back at you — not the smile he reserved for the Capitol, but a real smile.
"Thank you. I'm glad to see you too."
He saw you get embarrassed, and he wanted to laugh at that. But he wouldn’t — not in front of your father. Not yet.
For the rest of the day, he listened to his father talk about how much your father complained about you, because you wouldn't stop talking about Finnick. His father laughed as he ruffled his hair affectionately. And it’s not like Finnick was going to complain.
Everyone said it was normal for girls to have a little crush on boys who won at something — at least, that’s what the people he knew told him. Maybe that’s why, two months later, it was as if Finnick no longer existed to you. You were back in your own world, with your friends, without him. Not that it bothered him — not really.
The next time he really saw you, you were sixteen, and he was eighteen. He was a mentor now, and when your name was called at the reaping, he could see on your face how much you hated it. Most people didn't care or thought that a dead kid from District 4 wouldn't make much difference, since you wasn’t a Career or someone important. Finnick hated it — but he would never say so.
He also remembers how, for whatever reason, you didn't put any effort into your training. He thought it was because of what everyone thought of you as a tribute, or maybe you just didn't give a damn about dying in the arena. He didn't admit it at the time, but he had been terrified that you wouldn't make it out of the arena alive. He also remembers how surprised everyone was by your training score — including him. It was a ten. He remembers it clearly, and you didn't seem to mind.
On the day of the Games, all you did was say goodbye to your stylists. You didn't look in anyone else's direction, but he didn't blame you. If you were going to become one of the last survivors, there would come a point when you would have to kill someone. It wasn't something everyone wanted to face.
He remembers seeing you in the arena — you did well. For the first few days, you kept to yourself, hiding and trying to survive. But at some point — he can't say exactly when — things changed. Perhaps it was when the male tribute from your district was killed, or when you saw a pair of boys, just twelve years old, die.
It wasn't a change that anyone on Capitol had noticed. But Finnick knew you well enough to say that the deaths of people you barely knew had affected you. He still remembers when one of the tributes from District 4 was a twelve-year-old boy - you didn't know him, but you still went to say goodbye. You were only fourteen.
And at that very moment, you had just thrown an axe into the head of the boy from District 3 who had killed the twelve-year-olds. You hadn't thought — you had just acted. Obviously, this had a positive consequence for you in the Capitol's eyes, because a while later, you were sent food that would last for about four days.
He remembers the exact moment you won. He wanted to say he was relieved, but that wouldn't be fair to you. Until you left for District 4, you didn't say a single word to him. Perhaps because no one was looking at you with such high expectations anymore, you felt confident enough to speak.
"Do you regret killing those people to survive?"
"No."
He had to be honest; he couldn't lie. But after that, he didn't hear your voice again for the rest of the journey — you didn't even look at him. Still, when you arrived in District 4, you acted as if you were fine, as if you didn’t care.
He also remembers when you became friends. It was a good thing — a big step, considering that before, you wouldn’t even look him in the face. Now he understood why. Even though it hadn't seemed like it before, you had lots of friends. You were funny, entertaining, and you cooked extremely well. Finnick admitted that he envied your food — and he couldn’t lie about that.
He obviously remembers the following year, when the two of you were mentors. You were only seventeen, but you didn't seem bothered about directing two people toward a possible death. He saw how hard you worked not to get attached to either of the tributes, because if they didn't come back, you wouldn't feel guilty. But when Annie returned, alive and safe, he also saw you break down. You hugged her as if she were going to disappear. And he didn’t blame you for that either. Over the next year, no one ever brought up the subject of Annie becoming a mentor.
When you were nineteen, things went to another level. Once ignored, now he was kissed when no one was watching — well, that was a breakthrough. He remembers every kiss, every smile. He also remembers when you woke him up at dawn to help Annie. He didn't mind; he was spending time with you and helping a friend.
While he was making tea, if he looked over his shoulder, he could see you hugging her, whispering what sounded like a lullaby — the kind you sing to babies when they can't stop crying. He could see how much you loved and cared for Annie, and that always made him fall in love with you a little more, even if he didn’t know it at the time.
He certainly remembers the time he told you he loved you. You had just turned twenty-one. You said it back. And you held each other for the rest of the night.
He also remembers the 74th Hunger Games. He saw your relief when those two young people, madly in love — though he didn't believe in that farce — survived together. You didn’t know them, but you were obviously happy for them.
He also — sadly — remembers the Quarter Quell. When his name was called, he had imagined it would happen. But that day, once again, he saw you. Annie had been called, and before Mags could volunteer, you did. He saw you hugging Annie, comforting her as he heard her whisper "sorry," but you just smiled at her. And as you hugged, he heard you say:
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't let that happen to her again."
"I know..."
He didn’t know. No — actually, he did. He just didn’t want to admit it, because admitting it meant facing the reality that this year, he’d be going into the arena with you. And he didn’t even want to think about that.
In the arena, he did everything he could to protect you, Katniss, and Peeta. He really wanted the plan to work. He believed that you would be fine if they separated. But when he woke up, you weren’t there with him. You were in the Capitol with the others. For the first time in years, he wished he had died in that arena when he was fourteen.
He felt it the moment he got you back — you weren’t really there. He spoke to you, but you didn’t listen. And if he tried to touch you, he saw you despair, screaming as if he had hurt you. And he felt that way — he felt guilty for letting the Capitol lay even a single finger on you. They told him to take it easy. He wanted to tell everyone to fuck off, but when he looked at you, he knew they were right.
At that very moment, he was keeping you company, obviously giving you space — he didn’t want you to get hurt. But when he heard you calling him, he admitted he was desperate; you hadn’t even looked him in the face for days. So probably, if you had asked him to get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness, he would have — even if he didn’t need to. But he held back.
"Finnick?"
"Yes, dear? Do you need anything?"
"I'm sorry..." It came out as a whisper.
"Hey, hey, what are you apologizing for? You have nothing to apologize for."
"I..." You didn’t manage to finish before tears welled up in your eyes.
"Hey, hey, please don’t cry..." He tried his best to comfort you without having to touch you. But before he could decide what to do, you hugged him — a little hesitantly, but you hugged him. And at that moment, he collapsed. He shouldn’t have cried — not when you were in such a fragile moment — but he couldn’t help it.
For a moment in his life, he had thought he had lost you, that he would never see you again. And at that moment, he decided he would never let go of you — not with the possibility of losing you again. He would never let that happen. He would always see you now.

Glimpse Of Us



summary: routine became something finnick cherished. but course, the capitol must ruin everything, including his love. but he will still find a way to get her back.
finnick odair x fem!reader
content warnings for the whole story: descriptions of death, torture, starvation, and everything described in The Hunger Games, mentions of suicidal thoughts, implications of S/A
mood board + playlist
previous part | masterlist | next part
Chapter VI
District 13 is a machine.
Everything is efficient. Predictable. Cold.
Finnick had never known silence like this.
It’s nothing like the warmth of your voice in the morning, or the way your laughter used to cut through even the worst moments in the arena like sunlight. And now…it’s all gone.
Finnick sits on the edge of the cot in his assigned room — if you could even call it that. The walls are sterile, gray. The cot is too stiff. There’s no window. No sound but the soft humming of the ventilation above. No air, either. Not the kind you can really breathe.
He hasn’t spoken to anyone since they arrived. Hasn’t eaten. Not really. Just pushed food around his plate during meal calls until someone stopped watching him.
He’s not sure how long he’s been here. A day? Two? More?
Time feels irrelevant when you're stuck in a loop of silence and wondering if the person you love is still alive.
He stares down at his hands, fingers clasped together like he's praying, but there’s nothing left to pray to. Nothing that could help. His knuckles are red from clenching too tightly, nails bitten to the quick. His wrists still ache from the impact of the explosion, though he hasn’t let anyone look at them. It doesn’t matter. None of it matters.
Not without you.
Every time he closes his eyes, he sees it, the arena exploding in a blinding storm of light, the wire snapping loose, the sound of the world cracking open beneath him. And worse, the memory of not seeing you. Not knowing where you were when everything fell apart.
His heart beats too loud in the silence.
He hasn’t cried since the hovercraft. It’s like the grief got trapped in his throat and never left, lodged there like a shard of glass. He can’t sleep. Can’t stop picturing your face, your eyes, wide and terrified; your voice calling his name, except he’s not sure if that part really happened or if his brain is just trying to torture him.
He barely notices the knock on the door.
It opens anyway. Haymitch steps in, looking worn down and ragged in a way Finnick has never seen before. He pauses when he sees Finnick hunched forward, elbows on his knees, unmoving.
“You should eat,” Haymitch says softly.
Finnick doesn’t answer. His eyes are fixed on the floor.
“We’re going to start working on a plan to get them back,” Haymitch adds, voice gentler this time.
Still nothing.
Haymitch sighs. “You can’t fall apart now, kid. She’d want you-”
“Don’t,” Finnick says sharply. His voice is hoarse from disuse, a knife’s edge buried in the word. “Don’t say what she would want. You don’t know.”
Haymitch falls quiet, his face tightening with something like understanding. But he doesn't push it. He leaves the tray on the desk and quietly backs out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
As soon as he’s gone, Finnick exhales, trembling.
His eyes flicker to the tray. He doesn’t move. He doesn’t care.
He leans back against the wall, lets his head fall back and closes his eyes. It’s safer there, in the dark, where he can imagine that maybe you’re okay. That maybe they’re keeping you alive because they know how valuable you are. Your beauty. Your voice. Maybe that’s buying you time.
But he knows how the Capitol works.
They’ll break you.
They’ll take the things you’re most afraid of and twist them until they become your reality. And you...soft-hearted, strong-willed, terrified of abandonment and pain, you’ll be alone in that cold place, thinking he left you. Thinking he couldn’t save you.
The thought makes his stomach turn. He grips the sheets beneath him, trying to breathe through the panic that rises.
You’re going to think I gave up on you.
You’re going to think I left you to die.
His eyes sting with the tears he can’t let fall. Not again.
If he lets them come now, he’s afraid he won’t be able to stop.
Instead, he leans forward again, burying his face in his hands.
It’s silent.
You’re gone.
And he’s still here. Breathing without you. Living without you. In a place that doesn’t feel real, where the walls are closing in and everything hurts in ways he doesn’t know how to put into words.
He stays like that until the lights in the room dim for curfew, and even then, he doesn't move.
He just sits there.
Waiting.
For a sign.
A plan.
A voice.
A miracle.
For you.
🌊 .·:*¨🌊🐚🌊¨*:·. 🌊
He loses track of how long he’s sitting there.
At some point, the lights go out completely. Total blackness washing over the room like a tide, leaving nothing but the shallow sound of his breathing and the pounding in his ears. Normally he’d be comforted by the quiet. But not tonight.
Because you hate the dark.
The memory flashes through his mind like a bolt of lightning. You, curled into his side in your shared bed back in Four, whispering how the lights going out makes your chest feel tight. That it reminded you of nights back arena, trapped in silence and waiting for something bad to happen. He used to tease you gently, offer a hand to hold until you smiled. It always worked.
Now there’s no one to hold your hand.
No one to tell you it’ll pass.
Only the Capitol.
A soft whimper escapes him before he can stop it.
***
The storm is crashing outside you home in Victors Village.
The lights had gone out in the middle of the storm. He’d lit a few candles. You were curled in his bed, tucked under one of his sweaters with your knees pulled to your chest.
You hated storms.
He’d climbed in beside you and wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you flush against him.
Your voice was soft, muffled by the fabric of his shirt. “I know it’s stupid. But when the lights go out and the thunder starts... it feels like I’m back there again.”
“It’s not stupid,” he’d whispered, pressing a kiss to your temple. “I don’t like it either.”
“Really?”
“Really. When I was a kid, I used to think the ocean was going to swallow the whole house. Every time a wave hit the rocks, I’d flinch.”
You laughed gently at that, the sound barely audible over the rain. “You’re not scared of anything.”
He pulled the blanket tighter around both of you. “I’m scared of this,” he admitted. “Of losing this.”
You turned in his arms to look at him, your eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight. “Then don’t.”
“I’m trying,” he whispered.
That was the last thing you said before you fell asleep in his arms, the thunder still rolling, the storm still raging, but his hand laced with yours under the covers like a lifeline.
***
His fingers tremble as he presses them to his lips. You must be terrified. You must think you’re alone. He imagines you sitting in a dark room just like this, stripped of everything that made you feel safe, your friends, your dignity, your light.
He forces himself to lie down, not because he’s tired, but because it hurts to sit upright anymore. The cot feels colder than before. He turns on his side, curling toward the wall like he used to curl around you at night, desperate for the illusion that you’re still here, that maybe if he closes his eyes, you’ll be beside him again.
You’re not.
Sleep doesn’t come. His thoughts race too fast. He imagines what the Capitol might be doing to you, forcing you into interviews, showing you footage of him, telling you lies. Torturing you in ways that leave no bruises, just broken pieces of who you used to be.
He blinks up at the ceiling, eyes burning. His chest aches in that same place where he used to feel your heartbeat against his. The storm back then had scared you, but now, it’s him who’s terrified. Because he doesn’t know where you are.
Doesn’t know if you’re warm. Or safe. Or alive.
And there’s no candlelight to chase away the fear.
Just the dark.
Just the memory of you, trembling and soft in his arms, whispering that you hated being alone in the dark, and now that’s exactly where the Capitol has left you.
Alone. Terrified. Without him.
Finnick turns on his side, pressing his face into the pillow, his body curling like it had that night. But now his arms are empty. His body is shaking.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers into the silence.
“I should’ve protected you.”
🌊 .·:¨🌊🐚🌊¨:·. 🌊
He doesn’t know how long he sleeps.
Minutes. Hours. Maybe not at all. The dreams, if they come, are short and cruel. Flickers of your smile through smoke. Your laughter morphing into screams. Blood in your hair. Chains on your wrists. The sound of your voice calling for him just as he wakes up.
Every time he jolts up gasping, there’s no one there. Just the same four walls. Just the same air he can’t seem to breathe.
He showers because someone makes him. He eats a piece of bread because Katniss sits beside him at breakfast and doesn’t say a word until he does. He walks the halls because Coin ordered daily movement to keep everyone "functioning." But Finnick doesn’t feel human. He’s just...drifting.
Existing in the shape of a man who used to have something worth fighting for.
Now all he has is guilt.
When he returns to his room one afternoon, there’s a piece of paper slipped under his door. His heart races. For a moment, he thinks, maybe it’s you, maybe they found something, maybe you're alive and someone knows.
But it’s just a memo from Plutarch.
Updates on a possible rescue timeline. No names. No promises. Just vague hope dressed up in military language.
Finnick crumples it in his fist.
He stares at the door. At the desk. At the cot. At the dent in the wall from where he punched it the night he realized you were gone.
He can’t do this.
He stands up suddenly, heart pounding, muscles tight with something he can’t name. Rage. Grief. Panic. It’s all bleeding together now. He storms out of his room barefoot, ignoring the cold floor beneath his feet, and walks.
Fast. No direction. Just away.
He ends up in the supply hallway.
That long, echoing corridor no one ever seems to use. He collapses against the wall and slides down to the floor. His head tips back. His breathing is shallow.
He thinks of your hands.
How small they looked in his. How you used to thread your fingers through his when you were nervous. How you clung to him in the arena that last night before everything exploded.
He presses his palms together like you’re still holding them.
He talks to the air like maybe it’ll carry the words to you.
“I don’t know what to do,” he whispers.
“I don’t know how to breathe without you. I don’t know how to sleep in that bed. I don’t know how to eat food that you’ll never taste again. I don’t know how to be without you, and I know that makes me weak, but I-I don’t care. I’d rather be weak with you than strong in this goddamn place where everyone thinks I’m fine just because I’m still standing.”
His voice cracks.
He curls in on himself, arms wrapped around his knees like he’s trying to hold himself together.
“I need you.”
The words are so quiet, they disappear the second they leave his lips.
That night, he skips dinner. Again.
He curls up on the cot in his undershirt and tries not to think. It doesn’t work.
His thoughts are full of you. You brushing your teeth in one of his oversized shirts. You humming while you washed your face. You stealing the covers. You pressing your cold feet to his calves to make him yelp. You dancing in the kitchen when you thought no one was watching.
You.
Alive.
Free.
Happy.
Now you're in a cage.
Now you're alone.
Now you're hurting, and he’s here, helpless.
He lets out a sob and bites down on the pillow to muffle it. It feels like dying slowly, this kind of missing you. Like his ribs are closing in. Like his heart is starving.
He doesn’t sleep just yet.
He just waits.
Waits for a name. A sign. A voice on the intercom saying: We have them.
But it never comes.
🌊 .·:¨🌊🐚🌊¨:·. 🌊
At some point, the tiredness of feeling pain takes him.
It pulls him under like the tide. Slow, steady, inevitable.
He doesn’t fight it this time.
And for once, his dreams don’t start with fire.
They start with the sea.
He’s standing on the shore. The sand is warm beneath his feet. The sun is low, turning the sky gold and violet. Waves kiss the shoreline in gentle laps, and in the distance, gulls cry out across the wind.
He breathes. Really breathes.
The salt air tastes like home.
And then he hears it.
Your laugh.
He turns before he even realizes what he’s doing, heart leaping in his chest.
You’re there.
Barefoot in the surf, smiling at him like you never left. Like the Capitol never touched you. Like the world hasn’t ended.
You tilt your head, playful. “You coming in, or what?”
He chokes on your name.
It falls from his mouth like prayer. Like forgiveness.
You reach out your hand.
And gods, he runs.
The water soaks through his clothes, but he doesn’t care. He crashes into you like he’s been drowning and you’re the only air left. His arms wrap around you, and you laugh again, breathless, spinning in the water with him.
It’s warm. It’s real.
He presses his forehead to yours. His voice shakes.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I didn’t save you.”
You shake your head softly, cupping his jaw with wet fingers. “You’re still fighting. That’s how you save me.”
His throat burns.
You reach up, brushing your lips over his cheek, like you’re memorizing him.
“I knew you’d find me,” you whisper.
He swallows hard. “I’m going to.”
“I know,” you say. “But you have to wake up now.”
“What?”
You smile. Soft. Sad.
“They’re coming to tell you something.”
He grips your hands tighter. “Please don’t go-”
“I’m always with you, Finnick.” you tap two fingers to his chest. “Right here.”
The wind shifts.
The sun dims.
"I won't ever forget you, Finnick."
And suddenly, you’re gone.
He’s standing alone in the water, waves lapping at his knees, empty arms aching where you used to be.
He jerks awake with a gasp.
For a second, he doesn’t know where he is.
Then the gray walls come into focus. The cot. The silence. District 13.
His hand is still pressed to his chest where you touched him.
A soft knock at the door breaks the quiet.
Finnick sits up slowly. His heart is racing.
The door creaks open.
Haymitch.
He looks serious. Pale.
But behind the tension in his jaw, there’s something else too.
Hope.
“They’ve made contact,” Haymitch says. “We think we know where she is.”
Finnick’s breath catches.
And for the first time in days, something sparks in his chest.
Not just pain.
Fire.
A/N: okay goodnight

"still?" "always."
Finnick Odair x hijacked!reader who asks what's real or not real [2k words]
summary: a District Thirteen reunion story heavily inspired by the brilliant @ervotica's fic 'a life of our own' & @/ilguna's 'hijacked'! Reader was tortured much like Peeta was into fearing Finnick, finding her playing the game 'real or not real'
CW: fem!reader, discussion of past torture [not described], reader tortured into believing Finnick did abhorrent and disgusting things to her [not described], medical personnel acting as villains sort of, hurt/comfort, hopeful/open ending
Finnick drummed his fingers against the paperback book that he brought with him to your hospital room every day which acted as nothing more than a glorified prop.
Routine was a word that came to dictate much of Finnick’s life recently; stability. Ritualized schedules were the norm in District Thirteen. But more importantly, routine, stability, and ritualized schedules were deemed necessary and important to your recovery.
Thus, Finnick drummed his fingers against the paperback book - the same paperback book - that he brought with him to your hospital room every day - at the exact same time - which acted as nothing more than a glorified prop.
He’d been following more or less the same routine ever since you’d been rescued from the Capitol a few weeks ago, though Finnick could admit visiting you felt slightly better now than it had in the beginning.
The beginning had been nothing short of heartbreaking for him. The beginning had been nothing short of torturous for you.
There’d been a hunch in place of hard evidence that the lot of you were being tortured in the Capitol, though to what extent no one knew. And absolutely no one was prepared for what awaited them by the time the three of you were safe in District Thirteen.
Peeta had promptly tried to off Katniss which was very off brand of him; Johanna’s head had been shaved, she was emaciated, and had a plethora of evidence of gruesome physical torture, and you…
You weren’t filled with the same loathing, hatred, and disgust that Peeta seemed to carry for Katniss. No, you were completely and utterly terrified.
Medics had to sedate you when Finnick rushed into the room upon hearing of your arrival because you’d thrown yourself against the wall so violently you’d split your head open, then nearly ripped your nails clean off your fingers in your desperation to open a locked door in an attempt to escape from him. And if that hadn’t been devastating enough, the sounds of your guttural screams and desperate cries caused by him still haunted many of Finnick’s nightmares.
Finnick had been hesitant to return to you after that; he didn’t want to ever cause you that much distress again.
Haymitch tried to reason with him; Finnick wasn’t the one causing you this much distress, it was the Capitol. The medics tried to reason with him; it was to be considered exposure therapy, they hoped that - over time - as you regained some familiarity and comfort with him and worked through your memories and trauma with the doctors that you’d start to remember.
He reluctantly agreed. So, he was horrified when, the first day he returned, you’d been strapped down to your bed in preparation for his meeting.
“This is sick!” He’d shouted at the medics as he gestured at your current state. “This isn’t exposure therapy, this is torture!”
“Mr. Odair, the hope is that once she begins to realize there’s no need to fight or run, we’ll be able to take the restraints off.” One of them explained in a bored manner.
“Fuck whatever you’re hoping for! You’re torturing her; she’s not going to feel any safer here than she did in the Capitol!”
They’d tried calling after him, but he simply looked over at you and offered a pathetic “I’m sorry, honey” that you probably hadn’t heard over your own desperate wails before he fled.
The next day he returned, you hadn’t been strapped down, but you had been heavily medicated with some kind of sedative before his arrival. He swallowed around the bile in his throat as he took a seat in one of the chairs, pretended to read his book and tried his hardest to ignore the extremely wary and haunted gaze that stayed glued to his side for the entirety of his visit.
The third visit went much the same, except about halfway through his scheduled ‘visit’, he noticed that your eyes seemed to fall extremely heavy.
“Are you tired, sweetheart?” He murmured quietly, though you would have thought he’d screamed at you with the way you bodily flinched and your eyes snapped open.
He just continued watching you as you fought to convince your heart to return to its normal tempo, slowly, cautiously nodding your head yes to his question when you seemed to realize he was earnest in his question.
“Would you like me to leave so you can get some rest?”
Your brows furrowed ever so subtly, eyes darting across his face as you searched for any hidden meaning or potential threat.
You must not have found one.
“Please.” You whispered, and - though it was still but a whisper - it was the first time he had heard your voice since the Quarter Quell that wasn’t shrieking and sobbing in fear, causing a lump to form in his throat.
“Okay, honey, I’ll go.” He whispered back, smiling at you through tears as he stood and swiftly left the room, hardly closing the door fully behind him before he let out a sob.
Over the weeks, you began finding your own routine and schedule outside of the time you spent working with doctors and medics. You were hardly ever seen without your journal on your person, and one of your doctors explained to Finnick that you were beginning to compile notes to differentiate between things you knew, things that you didn’t know, and what was real or not real. Many times, Finnick could find you working in your journal when he arrived, and though you still managed to keep a concerned eye on him at any given point and your body never fully relaxed while he was there, he was grateful you were becoming more or less accustomed to his company.
And then one day he showed up to your room to find one wall completely transformed into a giant drawing board. The board was divided into two equal sides; one side was labelled REAL and one side was labelled NOT REAL. The only thing that had been written down so far was on the NOT REAL side, which read “Finnick did not set you up and leave you there to die.”
“She’s been struggling to sleep without the aid of sedatives; she wakes up quite violently from nightmares, struggling to differentiate between what is real and what is not, even when we’re standing right there in front of her.” One of the medics told him. “We tried once to have her look through her journal, but she threw it across the room and told us to get away from her. We thought maybe having a very large visualization in front of her in her own writing would be helpful to tether her to reality upon waking.”
And that seemed all well in good, but Finnick found himself sick over some of the things the Capitol had convinced you he was guilty of more than once.
But, if this is what you needed, if this was helping you, Finnick would stomach it, no questions asked.
So, Finnick drummed his fingers against the paperback book that he brought with him to your hospital room every day which acted as nothing more than a glorified prop.
He knocked twice gently on your door before stepping inside, watching as you stepped quickly away from the board and hid the marker and eraser behind your back as if you’d been caught doing something you weren’t supposed to, watching Finnick as though you were waiting for him to attack.
“Hi, honey.” He greeted quietly, nodding politely at you before he pulled out his chair and took his place, flipping his book open to an arbitrary page as he pretended to read.
You didn’t move; your feet seemed to be glued to the spot as you watched Finnick pretend to not be watching you. He wasn’t ashamed to admit that he had missed your gaze, quite selfishly, and found that while the atmosphere wasn’t exactly relaxed, he was happy enough just to have your eyes on him again.
Finnick wasn’t sure how much time had passed before you ended up breaking the silence.
“F…Finnick?” You asked, barely above a whisper; question so quiet that Finnick was sure if he hadn’t only been pretending to read, he would have missed it entirely.
You sounded as though you were trying his name out for size, just to see how it felt on your tongue. Finnick missed the days when you used to squeal his name in laughter, or groan his name in frustration, or call his name in excitement. But even though it came out cautious and stilted, he didn’t think he’d ever heard as pretty a sound as the sound of his name falling from your lips.
“Yes, sweetheart?” He asked eagerly, fighting to keep his tone, face, and body language calm as he saved his ‘place’ with a finger and leaned forward in his chair, resting his knees on his elbows.
You swallowed thickly and fiddled with the marker in your hands as you stole yourself to speak. “Can I ask you something?”
He wanted to be an ass; he wanted to say ‘you just asked me two things’, he wanted to whoop and holler at finally having an actual conversation with you after weeks of finally having you back, yet not really having you back at all.
Instead, all he said was “of course.”
You cleared your throat before gaining the courage to ask what he heard as “you love me; real, or not real?”
Finnick wasn’t sure an answer had ever come to him so fast. “Real.”
You seemed somewhat surprised by his answer even though it was clearly the answer you’d been expecting. After a few moments, you simply nodded at him before turning back to your drawing board’s REAL side.
Finnick loved me you wrote, adding bullet points underneath it...
He told me so
He acts like it
Gut feeling
...is what you cited as proof to this revelation. Finnick wanted to weep. A gut feeling; you were still in there, somewhere. There was still a version of you that knew deep down that Finnick loved you.
“It’s not quite right, honey.” He offered softly, fighting the urge to smile when you turned at his interruption, yet didn’t flinch at the sound of his voice as you often did. You simply looked at him in confusion.
“Do you mind if I make a minor adjustment?” He asked as he carefully placed his book on your empty bed and slowly stood, holding his hands out in ask.
You looked between him and the marker and eraser in your hands before holding them out for him; an invitation.
Finnick smiled at you as he slowly walked towards you, hyper focused on remaining as unthreatening as possible as he gently took the items from you, careful not to touch you unnecessarily.
He moved to the REAL side of the board, using the edge of the eraser to remove the d from the end of loved and replacing it with an s. The sentence now - properly - read Finnick loves me.
“There, now it’s perfect.” He offered you with another smile as he held the items back out to you, gently placing them in your hands when you held them open for him before he turned back towards his chair, retrieved his book, and sat back down.
Your eyes stayed glued on the correction he made to your board as the marker and eraser hovered uselessly midair; moments dragging on before your arms finally lowered to your sides.
Finnick didn’t bother pretending to read, so when you turned to look at him - face full of confusion, curiosity, concern, and what looked to be devastation - you found him already looking at you.
“Still?” You asked, voice cracking painfully as a heavy tear fell down your face.
And if Finnick thought that no answer had ever come faster to him before, he was sorely mistaken.
“Always.” He promised.

The day he meets you is the day he makes you put trackers on all your stuff, because you lose things all. The. Damn. Time.
His dresser has a pile of mismatched socks folded in one drawer. An All Might action figure he found at a playground when he was seven is buried somewhere in his closet. Once he found an unopened bag of Karamucho Hot Chili Chips in the pocket of his hoodie while he was walking home

The Secretary
agedup! Katsuki Bakugou x (Fem) Reader
MDNI!! (18+)
description: Your entire world flips when you become the explosive hero’s secretary. In the world of high stakes and even higher tension, will you be able to resist his pull, or will you find yourself lost in the heat of it all?” (this bitch is loooooong)
❀ ❊ ✿ ❀ ❊ ✿ ❀ ❊ ✿ ❀ ❊ ✿ ❀ ❊ ✿ ❀ ❊ ✿ ❀ ❀ ❊ ✿
Pro Hero Dynamite has always been known to overwork at his agency.
Go above and beyond until something is perfect. Every file, every mission plan, every recruit—flawless or you’re wasting his damn time. He doesn’t do breaks. He doesn’t do patience. And he sure as hell doesn’t do mistakes.
People line up to work for him.
Because once you’ve worked under Dynamite, you can work anywhere. You’ve been sharpened by fire. Agencies compete for people who survive even six months at his side.
But just because everyone wants the job doesn’t mean they keep it.
He doesn’t notice most of his staff—doesn’t care to. The only people who get a fraction of his attention are his sidekicks and his PA team. The rest of you? Replaceable. Background.
That’s what you were. Just background.
A newly hired secretary brought in to replace the last one—fired, rumor has it, for leaving a single classified folder out overnight. You were pulled from a random list. No connections, no special qualifications. Just a name picked in a moment of desperation.
And from the beginning, you kept your head down.
Did your job. Stayed quiet. Didn’t try to get in his way. You figured if you didn’t bother him, you’d survive longer than the last girl.
And for a while, it worked.
Until he looked at you.
⸻
It was barely a glance, the first time. You were handing him a folder, and your fingers brushed his. That was it.
But the next day, he asked for you by name. “y/n go to this next meeting for me in 40 minutes and take some notes have it on my desk by 3”
The day after that? He called you into his office to retype a document you knew damn well his PA could’ve handled. He started showing up at your desk more. Asking questions. Staring a little too long when you answered.
No one said anything, but the change was obvious.
Your name started circulating in whispers.
Not in a good way.
Because Dynamite had a reputation. Not just for being a perfectionist or a hard-ass—but for being a flirt. The kind who smiled in interviews and left parties with models on his arm. He was cocky, crude, and didn’t hide the fact that he could get whoever he wanted. He was in the tabloids almost as much as he was on the news. You weren’t his type. Not even close. So whatever attention he was giving you? It had to be temporary.
⸻
Recently one of your male co-workers had been interacting with you a little more than usual lately. He’d stop by your desk for small talk, lingering longer than necessary and dropping subtle hints of flirting—hints you quickly brushed off.
One afternoon, as he stood by your desk chatting about the new coffee shop that had just opened a few blocks from the agency, you heard the unmistakable sound of heavy, aggressive footsteps echoing through the hallway. The air shifted. The floor seemed to still as the explosion hero’s voice cut through the buzz of conversation like a blade.
“Kato,” Dynamite said dryly, voice low but so loud and commanding that it echoed across the entire floor. “Leave my secretary alone and get the hell back to work.”
Everything went quiet.
You could feel the eyes of your coworkers flicking between you and Bakugou, the tension thick in the air. Kato blinked, visibly flinching before muttering something under his breath and practically scrambling away. After that? Silence. No more desk visits. No more awkward compliments. He disappeared.
A few days passed, then a week. You hadn’t realized just how quiet it had been until you were in the break room, talking with Yumi, one of the only people you were actually close with at work. She was leaning against the counter, sipping her tea when you brought it up.
“Hey, Yumi,” you said casually, trying to sound nonchalant as you stirred your drink. “Have you seen Kato around? Last time we talked, he mentioned grabbing coffee at that new place nearby.”
Yumi gave you a look over her cup. “Oh? You don’t know?”
You blinked. “Know what?”
She lowered her voice, leaning in slightly like she was about to share a secret. “After Dynamite yelled at him, Kato got transferred to the other floor—support tech. Apparently he asked for it himself.”
Your eyes widened. “Seriously?”
“Yeah. Word is he went to HR the same day. Said something about ’not wanting to interfere with higher-up dynamics.’” She raised an eyebrow meaningfully. “You ask me? I think he got the message loud and clear—and maybe a little scared. Bakugou doesn’t exactly play subtle.”
You felt your cheeks warm, not sure if it was from embarrassment or something else entirely. You looked away, but Yumi smirked.
“He’s totally territorial over you, you know.”
You rolled your eyes, though your heart was beating just a little faster. “He’s my boss.”
Yumi laughed. “Right. And I’m just here for the free snacks.”
⸻
Things started getting more odd after you grabbed your paycheck, scanning it quickly. Your eyes widen. There’s an extra $200 in there. What the hell?
You head straight to HR, a bit confused. “Hey, I think you guys messed up my pay. There’s, uh, an extra amount in here.”
The HR rep looks at you with a raised eyebrow. “No, we didn’t mess up. You got the raise from the boss yesterday. Didn’t you know?”
You blink. “A raise? From Dynamite?”
They nod. “Yeah. He approved it. It’s all there. So… enjoy the extra cash?”
You stand there for a moment, trying to process it. He didn’t say anything about a raise.
Later, you march into Bakugou’s office. He looks up from his desk, not even bothering to look surprised.
“Aren’t you supposed to be re-organizing those files? I told you I needed that done today y/n” he grumbles, like it’s just another day.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were giving me a raise?” you ask, arms crossed. “I went to HR, and they said it’s from you. You just… threw in a $200 bump like it was nothing?”
He shrugs, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Yeah, and?. You’ve been working hard, so you get a bump. Don’t make it a big deal.”
You stare at him, trying to hide the confusion. “But you couldn’t have just said something, I thought it was a true and honest mistake? I didn’t want to get in trouble or anything.”
“Not my problem. It’s in your paycheck. Deal with it,” he grunts, turning his attention back to his papers.
“But I-“ you were quickly cut off by his desk phone ringing.
“y/l/n can’t you just fuckin’ thank me? now get back to work don’t ever question me again” he says before answering the phone.
You stand there, a little speechless. You eventually turn around and leave his office just to sit at your desk still confused as ever.
⸻
work had been piling up, you started staying later than usual at nights. But this night was different.
It was supposed to be simple—just a few files left to organize, highlight, and prep for tomorrow morning. Everyone else on the floor had cleared out hours ago. You liked the quiet. No one breathing down your neck. Just your thoughts and the occasional creak of the building.
Then the elevator dinged.
You didn’t look up until you heard the crash—something hard slamming against the wall near the lift.
And then, there he was.
Him.
Pro Hero Dynamite. In full gear. Hair still wild from battle, jaw tight—and in his arms? A woman.
Not just any woman. A model. One you’d seen in magazines, ads, maybe even a billboard or two. And they weren’t just walking. They were clawing at each other, lips locked, her dress hitched halfway up her thighs. His hands all over her.
He didn’t even glance your way—until he did.
Right as he shoved open his office door.
His eyes locked on you. Smoldering. Unbothered. Maybe even a little amused.
And then he shut the door behind them. Click.
Seconds passed. Then minutes. Then you heard it.
The moaning. The banging. The desperate, ugly sounds of sex through that too-thin wall, and you didn’t even hesitate. You gathered your things, barely breathing, and booked it for the elevator before your face could give anything away. You didn’t look back.
But you couldn’t stop thinking about it. The way he stared at you.
Like he knew exactly what he was doing to you.
⸻
The next morning, you came in earlier than usual—half-hoping, half-praying you wouldn’t have to see him.
Your desk felt different. Like it had absorbed last night’s shame. The pens in your cup were crooked. The light too bright. You reorganized your files twice just to stop your hands from shaking.
You told yourself he wouldn’t bring it up.
He wouldn’t have to.
Because it meant nothing.
To him, it was just another Tuesday night. Another random girl. Another fuck.
And then… you saw him.
Striding across the hallway from his office—jacket slung over his shoulder, hair freshly wet from a shower, and a goddamn coffee in hand like he hadn’t just traumatized you twelve hours ago.
He didn’t even look at you. Not at first.
He passed your desk with that same practiced indifference, talking to a sidekick about an upcoming mission, barely blinking. You exhaled. Maybe it was just another night. Maybe he really didn’t care.
Then, without warning, he stopped mid-step. Turned his head just slightly. Your blood ran cold. But he kept walking. That was it. That tiny little jab, buried so deep it wouldn’t make sense to anyone else—but you knew.
He knew. And now he was watching to see what you’d do with it.
⸻
You didn’t do anything. What could you do?
You buried yourself in your work. Avoided his gaze when he passed your desk. Ignored the little smirk that tugged at his mouth every time your fingers trembled while handing him a report. You told yourself it would fade—that he’d get bored and move on.
But he didn’t. He kept finding reasons to come by. Most times it was work-related. sometimes it wasn’t.
“Where’s the file from yesterday? The one you highlighted.”
“There’s a typo on this one. Wanna tell me where your brain was?”
“You always jump when someone groans, or is that just me?”
“do you always wear skirts that short?”
And the worst part? He never looked guilty. Never embarrassed. Just amused. Like he’d found a new game to play—and you were the only one who didn’t know the rules.
⸻
The next night came.
You were once again the last one in the office, filing mission reports. This time, you double-checked the elevator schedule before staying late. Dynamite had a press conference that evening. He wouldn’t be back until hours later—if at all.
You let your guard down.
Big mistake.
Because when the elevator dinged around 10:43 p.m., and you turned expecting to see a janitor or a delivery guy—
It was him. Alone.
No model this time. Just Dynamite. Loose black tee, sweats slung low, dog tags catching the hall light. He didn’t say a word. Just walked down the hall, slow and deliberate, until he was standing at your desk.
You blinked up at him. “…Can I help you, sir?”
He stared for a moment—eyes hooded, lazy. Then leaned a forearm on your desk. “You’re always here late.” Your throat tightened. “There’s a lot to do.”
“Mhm,” he hummed, gaze dipping briefly to your lips. “That why you stayed last night too?”
“I—I didn’t realize anyone else was—”
“Oh, you realized.” That smug look returned. “You saw everything, didn’t you?” Heat crawled down your spine. He tilted his head slightly. “And what’d you think, secretary? Get a good show?” You stood up abruptly, your chair scraping against the floor.
“I’m—going home. I’m done for the night.”
But as you tried to slip past him, he didn’t move.
Just let his fingers graze the edge of your desk—then yours. Soft. Barely there. Enough to make you stop.
And his voice? Lower this time. Quieter. Laced with something darker. “I fucked her thinking about you all alone out here” he said under his breath, not loud enough for you to hear.
As you took the bus home after work, his words lingered in your mind. he made you feel like some dirty pervert.
⸻
The following day came, you were a nervous wreck coming to work and praying to whoever was up there to not see him again. But for some reason lady luck was on your side because word got around that Dynamite wouldn’t be in office due for a little to an over ran mission a couple of cities over. You felt the weight of what was like an elephant lift from your shoulders hearing it. The next couple of days you could breathe and get your work done, until the night he came back. You weren’t planning to stay late again but the mission reports were a mess, your inbox was full, and your brain was too fried to say no when your team lead asked for help. Plus you wanted to get it all done so you could go home early for the weekend tomorrow.
Everyone else had left. The sun was long gone, the sky a navy blur behind the tall glass windows. You figured he was still out. Same patrol mission or high-level meeting.
You were so fucking wrong.
The elevator dinged at 11:36pm. You didn’t even look up because you just KNEW. you heard the heavy bootsteps crossing the hall, slow and measured—each one landing like they meant something.
You slowly looked up. There he was.
Hair messy from the wind, shirt clinging to his frame, jaw sharp with tension like he’d been gritting it for hours. He didn’t say anything—just stood there, watching you behind that massive front desk like you were the one interrupting him.
You swallowed. HARD. “…e-evening.”
A low hum left his throat, his gaze staying on you like you were the only thing in the room.
He didn’t walk away. Just shifted his weight slightly, his eyes scanning your desk. You could feel the pressure of his stare, like he was seeing right through you.
You followed his line of sight—realizing too late that your files were fanned out everywhere. Messy. Color-coded. Your pink highlighter cap left open next to your now cold coffee.
Shit.
You scrambled to get up and gather everything, heart thudding harder than you’d like to admit. “I—I’ll get these off before I leave. I just wanted to finish highlighting—”
He didn’t let you finish.
One step closer, without warning.
His body moved with purpose, no hesitation. He didn’t lean in, didn’t raise his voice, but somehow his presence swallowed you whole.
He just tapped twice—once, twice—on the corner of a sticky note beside your hand.
Then, his voice came, low, clipped, a little too calm for your liking.
“Next time you highlight mission details…”
“…don’t use pink.”
he paused for a moment looking at you while his finger was still resting on the sticky note.
“I fucking hate pink.”
You stiffened, trying to shake off the irritation that bubbled up in your chest.
“Well, maybe I’m not here to impress you,” you muttered under your breath, your annoyance pushing you further than you meant to go.
He didn’t flinch. Didn’t even react at first.
You tried to ignore the sudden heat crawling up your neck. It was just a comment—nothing more.
But then you saw it.
His lips curled into a faint smirk, that signature cocky grin of his. He leaned in just a little more, hands tucked into the pockets of his jacket like he was too relaxed, too calm for the situation.
“Not here to impress me?” His voice was smooth, almost condescending. “Then why the hell are you even still here, huh?”
Your jaw tightened. You were about to fire back, but he wasn’t done.
He took another step forward. This time, there was no space left between you.
His eyes narrowed, gaze dropping from your face to the pink highlighter in your hand. He reached out, slowly, deliberately, taking the cap from the table and flicking it absentmindedly.
His eyes met yours, cold but sharp. He didn’t blink.
“You wanna talk back to me, huh? You wanna act like you don’t care what I think?” He leaned in closer, close enough for you to feel the heat radiating off his body. “You’ll get real fucking tired of that attitude real fast.”
You tried to hold your ground, but something in the air was shifting. His presence was overwhelming, suffocating in a way that made you feel small. Vulnerable. He was in your space now—too close. But you couldn’t bring yourself to back away.
“What, you think I’m scared of you?” Your voice was steady, though your heart was pounding in your chest.
His lips curled into a knowing grin, his fingers brushing the back of your hand like it was nothing. But the touch was deliberate. “No, but I think you like it.”
You inhaled sharply, your pulse quickening.
“Like what?” you breathed, not sure if you wanted to hear the answer.
“Like it when I call you out,” he replied, his voice dripping with something dangerously close to amusement. “Like it when I make you feel something you don’t know how to handle.”
You opened your mouth to respond, but before you could, he stepped back.
His eyes locked onto yours one last time, with a smooth, and mocking tone. “Not here to impress me, huh? Guess what? You’re not fooling anyone.”
You bristled at the implication, trying to pull away from the tension that was building in the space between you two. But he didn’t let up. Instead, he moved even closer, stepping into your personal space until there was barely an inch of air between you.
“Keep playing it cool,” he continued, his voice dropping an octave, a dangerous glint in his eyes. “But I know exactly what you want.“
His lips were only inches from yours now, and you could feel his breath warm against your skin.
Your heart pounded, and the words escaped you before you could stop them.
“And what exactly do you think I want?” you breathed.
His grin widened, a wicked, confident curl of his lips, and then, in a voice that was barely a whisper, he answered, “You want me to prove it.”
“fuck you” that’s all it took.
And before you could even process what he meant, he was on you.
His hands found your waist, lifting you onto the desk, making sure there was no space between you. The way he kissed you, with so much force and urgency, made it clear he wasn’t about to stop.
You gasped as he trailed his lips down to your collarbone, his hands already pulling at your shirt, lifting it over your head. You felt exposed, vulnerable, but in the best way. The heat in your body was building rapidly, your skin tingling where his hands brushed.
“I’m going to fuck you like you’ve never been fucked before,” he growled, his lips back on yours with a hunger you couldn’t resist.
You pulled him closer, urging him to take what he wanted, because deep down, you knew you were past the point of no return.
And when his hands moved to the waistband of your pants, you didn’t hesitate, lifting your hips to let him undress you completely.
He didn’t waste any time, his mouth back on your neck, his hands working to free himself from his pants, all while he never broke eye contact with you.
“Say my name,” he demanded, his voice thick with lust, the words slipping from him in a low growl.
You could hardly breathe, let alone think. But somehow, you managed to whisper, “Dynamite.”
He smirked against your neck, his hand coming down on your ass with a harsh smack, the sound echoing in the quiet room. You jolted, a breathless gasp escaping your lips, and he leaned back, his eyes narrowing.
“I said, say MY fucking name,” he repeated, his voice a little sharper this time.
You moaned, your body aching for more as you looked up at him with a pleading expression. “Katsuki,” you whined, your voice higher, desperate. The sound of his name on your lips, the way it twisted in the air between you two, sent him into a frenzy.
He didn’t give you a moment to recover—he grabbed your thighs and dragged you to the edge of the desk, his mouth crashing into yours again, hungry and unrelenting. You felt the hard press of his cock against your bare core, still hidden behind the fabric of his boxers, and you instinctively rolled your hips, chasing the friction you so desperately needed.
“You’re drivin’ me fuckin’ insane,” he hissed against your lips, pulling back just enough to look at you—flushed, panting, pupils blown wide. “Actin’ like you didn’t want this. Walkin’ around the office in those tight little skirts… lookin’ at me like that… like you wanted to be fucked.”
You whimpered, and he chuckled darkly, pulling his boxers down and letting his cock spring free. The sight alone had your breath hitching, and he noticed.
“Yeah?” he muttered, stroking himself slowly as he watched your reaction. “This what you’ve been needin’? Bet your fingers couldn’t even come close to makin’ you feel this full.”
And then he pushed in—slowly, almost teasing, stretching you inch by inch until your back arched and a breathless moan spilled from your lips, your eyes rolling in the back of your skull.
“Fuck—you feel better than I ever imagined,” he gritted, gripping your hips so tight you knew he’d leave marks. “Tight little pussy takin’ me so well.”
He set a brutal pace, snapping his hips against yours, the desk creaking beneath you both his as your body rocked with each thrust. You could barely form words—just whimpers and his name on loop like a prayer.
And then, just when you thought it couldn’t get filthier, he leaned in, his voice rasping directly into your ear.
“You know how many girls I’ve fucked the last two weeks?”
Each word was punctuated by a hard, punishing thrust.
“Every. Single. ONE of them—I thought about you.”
You gasped, your nails clawing at his back as your orgasm built dangerously fast.“Thought bout how beautiful you’d look bent over my fuckin’ desk takin’ my cock.”
Your eyes rolled back, the filthy words and his relentless rhythm dragging you closer to the edge. Your whole body trembled under him, your mind trying to deny it, trying to keep up, but your body had already surrendered. It needed him. All of him.
“And how amazing your tits would look bouncin’ in my face as you ride me.” he leaned down to your chest and sucked on your tit as he fondled the other with his free hand.
You gasped as his words hit you like a wave, the sharpness of his growl sending a tremor through your body. Every word he spoke, every thrust, made it harder to remember what it was you were supposed to resist.
His pace quickened, and you were helpless under him. Each snap of his hips felt like a jolt of electricity, shooting through your veins, making you gasp and moan for him. The desk beneath you scraped against the floor as he pushed you closer to the edge, and all you could do was hold on, your fingers digging into the wood as you clung to whatever semblance of control you had left.
“Say my name again,” he commanded, his voice thick with need. “Say it and mean it this time.”
“Kats-sukiiiiiaaa,” you breathed, your head thrown back, the sensation of him inside you almost too much to handle. You could feel your walls tightening around him, your body already on the brink of breaking. You were so close—so close you could taste it.
His lips curled into a wicked grin as he saw the desperation in your eyes, his pace never slowing. “That’s it, princess,” he growled, his hand snaking down to rub your clit, sending waves of pleasure coursing through you. “You’re mine now. All mine and not any of these shitty extras around this place”.
You could barely respond, your mind clouded with the pleasure he was giving you. Every inch of your body felt like it was on fire, the tension coiling tighter and tighter in your core until you were trembling with the effort of holding back.
And then, with one last, forceful thrust, he drove you over the edge. Your body arched against him, your moans a desperate mixture of his name and incoherent sounds. His name tumbled from your lips again, this time louder, as your orgasm hit you like a tidal wave, leaving you breathless and weak.
But Bakugou didn’t stop. He wasn’t done with you yet.
He kept going, pushing you through your orgasm with a brutal determination that had you gasping for air. His thrusts grew erratic, faster, harder, as his own release approached. His breath was ragged in your ear, and the sound of his skin slapping against yours filled the room.
With one final growl, he pulled you closer, his hand gripping your hips as he buried himself deep inside you, his release spilling over as he held you against him, each shuddering breath making it clear just how much he needed you—how much he’d been holding back.
For a long moment, you both stayed like that, tangled in each other’s arms, breathless and spent. He kissed your forehead softly, a rare moment of tenderness after the storm, but the fire in his eyes never fully faded.
“Next time,” he murmured, his voice low and dangerous, “I’ll be fuckin’ you in my bed not some flimsy office desk.”
You smiled, your fingers tracing the muscles in his back as you both tried to catch your breath. This… this was just the beginning.
