Author’s Note: This fic idea came to me while I was listening to “A Sunday Kind of Love” by Etta James, so I’d highly recommend listening to it if you read the fic. Gives you the ~vibe~. Anyway, this is way longer than I expected but Spencer and reader deserved the extra time! I hope u enjoy :)

“C’mon, just make an appearance with me!” You pleaded. “It’s just one night! How bad can it be?” I didn’t even believe the words as they came out of my mouth.

Morgan snorted at that, shaking his head as he moved to exit the bullpen. “Sorry, kid. I love you, but I am not spending my night off at your bitchy sister’s wedding.” 

You sighed, reluctantly stepping aside to allow him to leave. Beginning to lose hope, you turned to your only remaining coworker. Spencer was still sitting at his desk, busying himself with organizing drawers and repositioning folders to avoid meeting your gaze as you approached his desk.

“Spencer, please come with me tonight. I can’t deal with my sister alone, and I think I might die if I have to explain to her that the guy I told her I was bringing ghosted me last week.” As you spoke, you watched him try to think of a way to protect your feelings without going. In the year you’d worked at the BAU you’d come to see everyone on the team as family, but it was Reid you felt closest to. When he didn’t respond immediately, you put your hand on his shoulder. “Spence, I need you.” You spoke quietly, but he heard you clearly.

He looked up at you at your last words, visibly conflicted. You gave him your best puppy dog eyes, and he sighed, standing up. Knowing you had won, you threw your arms around his neck in a hug, nearly sending the two of you tumbling over in your enthusiasm. He tentatively wrapped his arms around you, returning the gesture of affection. 

His touch brought with it feelings of peace and happiness that you had come to associate with Spencer. Your smile grew impossibly wider as you thanked him a million and one times, squeezing him tightly as you felt relief spread through your body. Forcing yourself to pull away, you noticed his lips had quirked up into a small smile at your reaction.

“You know, almost twenty percent of weddings are called off. There’s still a chance it won’t even happen.” Spencer mumbled as you walked out together. You weren’t sure if he was trying to comfort you or himself. As you reached the garage, you thanked him again for agreeing to be your date. He just nodded, visibly nervous about the event.

You stopped him before he could start walking to the metro. “Let me drive you home,” you insisted, “it’ll be faster and we can talk over our game plan on the way!”

“Game plan?” He questioned, amused at your choice of words.

“Just pretend we’re going undercover on a case! We’ll get into character and everything. This can be fun if we make it fun.” Spencer seemed unconvinced, but he followed you to your car.

As you drove to his place, Spencer seemed to relax as he started to plan, happy to gain some control over the situation. You knew he hated big events, especially ones with a lot of strangers, but your deep dislike for most of your sister’s invite list meant you’d at least suffer together. Pulling up to the curb, you said a quick goodbye, telling him to be ready in an hour.

When you got home, you jumped through the shower, scrubbing off the stress of the work day to allow family-related stress to take its place. You quickly blew your hair dry, putting more effort into your hair and makeup than you usually did. As you reached your closet, you scanned your dresses for one that would match the maroon tie Spencer planned on wearing. A smile spread across your lips when you spotted it, your fingers toying with the soft fabric as you imagined Spencer’s reaction when he saw it. 

You tried to push the thought away, sighing at your own hopelessness. You’d been trying to bury your feelings for Spencer ever since you joined the BAU, but it was a losing battle. You found it impossible to ignore him, despite your efforts to remain neutral in his presence. Your heart swelled at the excitement shining in his soft hazel eyes, skipped a beat at the sight of his tongue resting between his lips in concentration, and stopped altogether at the way his hands moved and flexed when he spoke. The opportunity to spend this much one-on-one time with Spencer in what you were sure would be an incredibly flattering suit was almost worth the stress of dealing with your family. 

You slipped on the soft satin dress, admiring how it hugged your curves and flowed around your legs. The plunging v-neck was flattering, but tasteful enough to stave off disapproving looks from older guests, leaving you comfortable and confident. You stood in front of the mirror, taking in your appearance as you would a stranger’s. The face that looked back at you was friendly but tense, hands fiddling restlessly with the soft fabric of your dress. It didn’t take a profiler to see you needed to relax.

Taking a deep breath, you cleared your mind, taking a few minutes to give your mind rest and ground yourself. Opening your eyes again, your reflection looked much more peaceful, nodding as you decided you were ready to leave. As you drove to Spencer’s, you felt your heartbeat quickening, this time from excitement instead of stress. 

Knocking softly, you were surprised to hear Spencer’s footsteps already nearing you, as if he had been waiting by the door. As he stepped outside, your breath hitched. You shouldn’t be so affected by the sight of him, it’s not like he’d never worn a suit in front of you before. It was mostly the look on his face that struck you, his lips slightly parted and eyes scanning your body as he took in the sight of you. 

“So what do you think? Good enough to pass for a put-together adult who hasn’t been dreading this day for months?” You asked.

He took a second to respond. “Y-yeah, you… you definitely shouldn’t worry about it. I mean you look great- not that you don’t usually look great it’s just-”

You interrupted him for his own sake, giggling a soft “thank you, Spence. You don’t look half bad yourself.” Understatement of the century.

Soft music played through the speakers in your car, soothing your nerves as you hummed along to “A Sunday Kind of Love” quietly. You almost jumped when you heard Spencer begin to hum with you. 

“You know this song?! I didn’t know you listened to any non-classical music!” You exclaimed, unreasonably excited at your discovery.

“I’ve heard you listening to Etta James on the jet a couple times, so I checked out a couple of her songs,” Spencer said simply. You tried to pretend your heart hadn’t just exploded at the implications behind his words. You couldn’t trust your voice to mask your overflowing adoration for the man beside you, so you just smiled and began to sing along quietly.

Oh I'm hoping to discover

A certain kind of lover

Who will show me the way

Lost in the music, you were surprised for the second time that car ride by Spencer’s voice joining yours to sing the chorus. Your eyes shot to his face, but he kept his eyes forward, a small smile the only sign he’d seen your reaction. You couldn’t help the smile that stretched across your face as you sang with him, his attempts at melody bringing a smile to your face. The words seemed to gain meaning as your voices joined together, both looking forward but focused fully on each other.

To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold

Love for all my life to have and to hold

Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love

Before you knew it, you had arrived. It was as if the bubble that had protected you from the reality of the situation had popped, leaving you exposed to the harsh world that lay waiting for you. Spencer reached out and squeezed your hand, silently reassuring you of his presence, his support, unwavering as you faced the night together.

Nodding slightly, you let go of his hand and stepped out of the car. Spencer walked beside you to the entrance of the church, close enough that you could feel his body heat. As you got closer, you groaned internally at the sight of your mother. 

A fake smile stretched across her lips, nodding at a woman whose outfit was so brightly colored you nearly had to look away from the glare. Her smile dropped for a split second when she saw you, but quickly returned with twice the artificial sweetness as before. She called out your name, voice straining with the effort it took to sound happy to see you. 

“This can’t be the boy you’ve been seeing! Much more handsome than I expected, how much did he cost you? Just kidding, of course.” Her laugh was somehow faker than her smile. You saw Spencer tense up beside you, and opened your mouth to correct her. She wouldn’t openly admit it, but you were sure your mother would be smug about the fact you and Spencer were just friends.

Before you could say anything, Spencer’s next words sent you reeling.

“Actually, I’m her boyfriend. Glad to finally meet you.” He said as politely as he could, though you could tell he disliked her already. Spencer had never had much patience for people who made jokes at others’ expense. 

You were still processing what he’d just said when his arm wrapped around you, gripping your waist. The feeling of his hands on your body was almost too much for you, and you struggled to pay attention as your mother smiled and made smalltalk with Spencer that walked the line between passive aggressiveness and outright hostility.

You finally registered what was happening when your mother made some excuse to leave, off to emotionally torture a new victim. Your head whipped to face Spencer, your mouth hanging open, confusion written on your face. 

“Why did you-” you began, interrupted by Spencer’s panicked words laced with regret.

“I’m so sorry, I know we didn’t plan on pretending to be a couple tonight, but she just seemed so smug about it and I wasn’t thinking clearly and I just-” he rushed out. Now it was your turn to cut him off.

“Spencer, thank you. I’m not mad, I promise.” You leaned into his chest, the arm still wrapped around you tightening. “I guess we’ll just have to pretend we’re dating for the rest of tonight, though.”

The two of you slowly made your way into the church, stopping a few times to chat with relatives who called out to you. Everyone was charmed by Spencer, who played the part of your boyfriend remarkably well. You found seats on the right, farthest from the aisle in an attempt to limit your interaction with other guests. Sitting down, you remembered how uncomfortable church pews were, the hours you’d spent in mass with your family all coming back to you now. 

Looking around, however, you were reminded of what had gotten you through it. The stained glass windows that surrounded you created a kaleidoscope in your field of vision, capturing your attention for long enough to forget why you had been uncomfortable in the first place. You looked back at Spencer to find him already looking at you, sending a small blush to your cheeks. 

“Did you know that stained glass was originally used in Catholic churches to tell stories from the Bible visually for the benefit of illiterate churchgoers? During the English Reformation, many stained glass windows were smashed and destroyed as part of the 1547 Injunctions against images. In fact, all images in churches were ordered to be removed. If it weren’t for that period in history, more stained glass would likely have- sorry, I’m doing it again.” Spencer’s eyes were cast down at the floor, only to shoot back up to your face when he felt your hand on his.

“I like listening to you. Why did they want to destroy all the images in churches?” You asked, leaving Spencer speechless for a second, seemingly unable to process your request for him to continue his rambling. With a small smile, he continued to explain the importance of the English Reformation to religious art as you watched him adoringly.

The ceremony started all too soon, pulling your attention to the front of the church. As you and Spencer listened to the seemingly endless stream of anecdotes about love and life that the pastor had clearly spent years reciting, your eyes started to glaze over. You pushed thoughts about marriage and family and religion out of your mind, preferring emptiness. Your mind didn’t stay blank for long, though.

Apparently Spencer had noticed your change in mood, because he brought his hand to rest on your thigh in a comforting gesture of solidarity. Unfortunately, you were unable to respond in any way, overwhelmed by the feeling of his hand flattened against the satin fabric of your dress.  His thumb beginning to rub small circles into your skin, you felt your heart rate quicken. The warmth he brought to your thigh began to spread through your body, suddenly finding the church unbearably hot. 

Spencer seemed unaffected by the room’s sudden warming, keeping his gaze locked on the happy couple. You took a shaky breath and tried to calm yourself down, reminding yourself that you were overreacting to what was likely a completely platonic display of affection. The ceremony seemed to drag on for hours, but that might have had something to do with the constant effort it took to mask the desire and panic that Spencer’s touch had ignited in you. 

You were broken from your trance of concentration by the feeling of his hand inching higher on your leg. Whipping your head around to face him, his gaze remained fixed on the pastor, pressing his lips together to hide a smirk. Your breath caught in your throat as you felt Spencer’s hand slowly make its way up your thigh, paralyzed by shock and desperation. His grip tightened as he glanced at your face, reading your reaction to his touch. Before you had a chance to respond, it was withdrawn, the world around you coming back into focus as everyone began to clap. The ceremony was over. 

When you went to stand up after the recessional, you nearly stumbled on your weak legs. Spencer stabilized you, guiding you through the pews and through the hallways with his hand on your lower back. As you followed the crowd to the banquet hall, the gears in your mind were turning slower than usual, as if they had rusted in the time you hadn’t allowed them to work through the idea of Spencer returning your feelings. Finding your seats, you and Spencer were faced with one of the greatest challenges of your night: extended conversation with your family and their similarly judgemental friends.

The overlapping chatter of so many people at once was clearly bothering Spencer, but he stuck it out for your sake. You felt a tug in your chest at the thought of the effort it must be taking for him to stay in such an uncomfortable situation. He played his part beautifully, though, responding to the borderline offensive questions directed at you politely but firmly, protecting you from their attacks. Your sister would usually have led the onslaught, but thankfully she was preoccupied yelling at the photographer for some suggestion she’d taken as a personal slight. 

When Spencer struggled to answer questions about your “relationship”, you took over. He had never been a good liar, and while you loved that about him, you knew it could blow your cover if you allowed him to continue.

In your story, the two of you still worked at the BAU, having started dating a few months after you joined. You threw in small details from your countless daydreams, centering them around real events so that the tale was completely believable. Maybe too believable, you worried, feeling Spencer’s eyes on you as you talked. Under the protection of a lie, you had finally been free to speak the truth, pouring a year’s worth of pining and affection into your words as you concocted a love story you wished was real. 

You heard a band start to play, a bluesy vocalist at the center of the ensemble. The music filled the hall as the newlyweds rose for their first dance. A small crowd gathered around the pair as they moved in synchrony, every step practiced and planned. A few songs later, many couples were swaying together, tonight’s celebration of love bringing out the romantic in most. 

You turned to Spencer, nodding your head at the band. “We should probably dance for a song or two, just for appearance’s sake.” Spencer looked uncomfortable, but nodded and followed you closer to the source of the music.

Raising your hand to his shoulder while his landed on your hip, you felt a warmth spread through you as you joined hands. Fingers intertwining, you began to move along with the slow song that had been playing, stumbling at first but moving more smoothly as time went on. You had no idea how many songs passed while the two of you swayed, apprehension and desire swirling in the air between you. It took a second for you to notice it, but as soon as you did, Spencer’s small smile told you he had as well. 

The smooth vocals of the singer sounded even more lovely on Etta James’s familiar melody, filling you with an intense emotion you couldn’t put words to.

I want a Sunday kind of love

A love to last past Saturday night

And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight

And I want a Sunday kind of love

The feeling in your chest grew as you looked into Spencer’s eyes as the song continued, your chest threatening to burst with whatever magical dust you’d inhaled from the shared breath between your faces. Wrapping your arms around his neck and resting your head on his shoulder, you were overcome with a feeling of safety and contentment as he returned your embrace. You swayed together as you began to ponder the cliches you’d always despised, begrudgingly admitting that you now understood the sentiment that nothing in the world mattered but the two of you.

As the song ended, you gathered up all the courage you had, and spoke before your mind could think through the possible negative outcomes of what you were suggesting.

“I need to tell you something,” you started. You felt his grip on you tighten, as if afraid what you would say next would take him from you, but he let you continue. “I think I love you, Spencer.”

He didn’t respond, but you felt him pull away from you. You felt cold without the contact, but it was nothing compared to the loss you felt in your chest as you realized what you’d done. He didn’t feel the same way.

You opened your mouth to apologize, to try to undo the damage you’d done, but before you could say anything he was dragging you toward a hallway. Overcome with confusion and fear of losing him, you didn’t realize where you were going until Spencer opened the door to the single-use bathroom and pulled you inside.

“Spence-” you began, the rest of whatever you had been about to say swallowed by Spencer’s lips as they moved against yours with urgency, his hands coming to cup your face gently. You didn’t hesitate to kiss him back, the coldness you’d felt replaced by the warmest light filling your chest.

Your hands found his hair, pulling him closer to you as you tried to eliminate any space left between your bodies. A frantic mess of hands and lips exploring any exposed skin, you stumbled backwards with the force of Spencer’s kiss, hearing the door lock as your back hit the cold wood. Your hands slipped under his suit jacket, moaning at the feeling of his firm body under your hands. He shrugged it off completely, allowing the jacket to fall on the floor, his germophobia trumped by his need to feel your warmth. 

You moaned into his mouth as his hands wandered your body, leaving goosebumps in his wake. As the kiss became more heated, you noticed that he seemed to withdraw whenever he noticed his touch had gotten rougher, clearly holding back so he wouldn’t hurt you. You smiled into the kiss at the care he showed for you, but your desire to see him fully let go was too strong to allow it to continue. You weren’t sure exactly what he was willing to do, but you took your second biggest risk of the night, showing him what you wanted.

Finding his hand on your body, you laced your fingers between his, kissing him sweetly before pulling away with an innocent look on your face. Spencer stared down at you, confusion clear on his face. You brought his hand up to your mouth, kissing the back of it before moving your hand to his wrist. He watched you intently, unsure what you were doing. Staring up at him with an angelic smile, you brought his hand to your neck, his fingers curling around it instinctively.

 As he realized what you were asking of him, his eyes darkened and his grip around your neck tightened. “This is what you wanted, huh?” He spoke lowly, a small smirk forming on his lips. “So needy for me. Would’ve let me fuck you in front of all those people back there, practically shaking just from my hand on your thigh.”

You whimpered, turned on beyond belief by this new side of Spencer. His smirk widened at your reaction to his words, pressing his body against yours, his hardness pressing into you. 

“Feel that? Feel what you do to me?” He growled. “Let me show you how I deal with pretty little whores like you.” He stepped away from you, eyes hungrily raking over your body as he began to unbuckle his belt. You just stood there, watching his hands as your mind flashed back to all the times you’d imagined this happening. Somehow this was even better than your wildest imagination had been able to conjure.

“What are you waiting for? Get on your knees” He spat out. The words shot straight to your core, and without hesitation you dropped to your knees in front of him. You watched as he pulled the belt from its loops, but frowned in confusion when he didn’t discard it. He walked around behind you, grabbing each of your wrists and pulling them together. Oh. When he was sure the belt wasn’t too tight, he whispered in your ear how pretty you looked tied up for him, your whimper at the words causing him to let out a dark chuckle.

He returned to the front of you, leaning down to toy with your bottom lip. “Show me you deserve to suck my cock, princess.” He instructed, slipping his thumb into your mouth. You moaned around his finger at that, and instinctively began sucking on the digit. You hollowed your cheeks around it, running your tongue along the length of his thumb before pulling back to swirl your tongue around the tip. He must have approved of your demonstration, because he removed his thumb, pulling down the clothing restricting him in one motion. 

Your eyes widened at his size, his smirk growing when you leaned forward instinctively to take him into your mouth. When he grabbed your hair to stop you, you looked up at him in confusion. 

“Good girls ask for permission.” Your eyes fluttered shut at that, wanting nothing more than to be good for him. 

“Please, let me suck you off, I want you in my mouth,” you begged. He seemed pleased, his hand still in your hair pulling you forward. When your lips wrapped around his cock the hand on your head pushed you down roughly, making you take all of him into your mouth, the tip pressing hard against the back of your throat. You moaned through the gag, your panties likely soaked by now from your arousal at his dominance. 

As he began to fuck your throat, you wrapped your lips around him tightly, timing your breaths so you wouldn’t have to stop for air. Words of praise mixed with degradation fell from his lips as he worked your mouth on him. Tears pricked at your eyes at the feeling of him against your throat, spilling over as he continued his ruthless pace. 

When he pulled you off of him, a dark smile appeared on Spencer’s face at your disheveled state. He pulled you up so you were standing before him, hands still bound behind your back. He stepped back to admire you.

“Look at you, such a mess for me. What do you want, pretty girl?” He asked, voice still commanding but much softer now, genuinely checking in with you.

“I want you, please, need it so bad,” you practically moaned. He moved forward to meet your mouth with his, one hand coming to rest around your throat while the other gripped your hair, fully in control of your movements. He pulled your hair back, breaking the kiss as he tilted your head up to look him in the eyes. 

“Jump.” He commanded. You didn’t hesitate, wrapping your legs around him as he walked you over to the sink, setting you down on the cold porcelain. His mouth rejoined with yours the second you felt the bowl of the sink digging into you. As Spencer’s hands roamed your body, he lost patience with your dress, pulling it down so your tits spilled out of the top. You moaned as he took one nipple into his mouth, a skilled hand toying with the other. His other hand lowered to the hem of your dress, pushing it up to gain full access to you.

Spencer moaned against your chest as he felt the dampness of your panties, soaked all the way through before he had even started to pleasure you. His fingers ran up and down over the wet fabric, applying pressure over your clit that sent your eyes rolling back. You made a noise of complaint at the loss of contact when he withdrew his hand, but were quickly silenced by a hand over your mouth.

“You’ll take what I give you, slut.” Spencer gritted out, tearing your panties off with the last word. His hand came up to your entrance, teasing you as his fingers ran up and down your slit. Gathering your wetness, he moved up to your clit, rubbing circles that left you moaning uncontrollably into his hand. “Can you snap for me, baby?” He asked. You were confused, but you did anyway. “Good girl. That’s your safeword for when you can’t talk.”

Before you could read too much into the statement, he plunged a finger deep into you, causing you to arch your back into him. Your moans still muffled by his hand, he set a brutal pace, adding another finger when he felt you start to clench around him. Tightening his hand over your mouth and nose, he cut off your breath as you approached your peak, your eyes glazing over with pleasure. The high of the lack of oxygen along with the haze that came with this level of submission left you fully pliant, his to play with how he wanted.

Right as your lungs began to burn, your orgasm shook your body, and Spencer let go at that exact moment. The relief of oxygen once again flooding your lungs added on to the euphoria that overtook you, your body shaking as you came down from your high. 

You didn’t have much time to recover, as you were brought back to reality with the sensation of the tip of Spencer’s cock teasing your slit. The overstimulation shook you, but with every second your need to feel him inside of you grew stronger. Your whimpers turned into pleas, and in your desperate state you didn’t realize what you were saying until it was too late.

“What was that?” Spencer asked, withdrawing completely.

“I-I’m sorry, it was an accident, I didn’t mean to, I’ll never-” you were interrupted by an unexpected demand.

“Say it again.”

“What?”

“Say. It. Again.” Spencer gritted out, his eyes darkening with each word.

“Please fuck me, daddy.” You said shakily.

A look of satisfaction came over Spencer’s face as he slammed into you without warning, setting a rough pace. You began to chant his new title, and his hand came up to choke you, fingers pressing into your carotid arteries just beneath your jaw. He wasn’t putting any pressure on your windpipe, but your lightheadedness from the reduced blood flow made it feel harder to breathe, the feeling of being owned by the man you loved only intensifying your pleasure. 

Spencer towered over you as he continued his assault, his other hand coming up to muffle your moans by allowing you to suck on his fingers. When he withdrew them to pay attention to your body elsewhere, he was confused to see you stick out your tongue. When the wave of understanding washed over him, he couldn’t hold back his smile. Bringing his hand up to trace your cheek, he looked at you lovingly before spitting in your mouth, watching in awe as you eagerly swallowed and met him with an innocent smile that contrasted beautifully with your actions. 

As you began to feel the knot in your stomach building again, Spencer increased his pace. Bringing one of his fingers to your clit, Spencer knew you were nearing the edge, and fast. “Come for me, pretty girl.” He ordered.

You obliged, Spencer’s kiss swallowing the moans spilling from your mouth. He followed soon after, sent into ecstasy by the image and sensation of you coming apart under him. As he filled you up, you felt a bliss that you’d never experienced before, using your lips to show him how he’d affected you as he fucked you through both of your orgasms. When you eventually parted, it was quiet for a moment. 

As Spencer helped you off the sink and removed the belt from your wrists, massaging the tender skin, you began to laugh. It started out as a small giggle, but it soon turned into a full belly laugh, bringing tears to your eyes. Spencer was taken aback at first, but son couldn’t help but join you. You both laughed until your stomachs hurt, and when you could finally speak again your first words were “we just had sex in a church bathroom.” 

Holding back another bout of laughter, Spencer responded, “I have to say, this wasn’t how I imagined tonight going.” He took a step towards you, arms lacing around your waist. “I’m not complaining, though.”

You pulled him down to meet him in a kiss, your teeth clacking as neither of you could hold back your smiles. When you broke apart, Spencer’s forehead stayed pressed against yours. “I love you,” he said quietly, “I have for a long time now. I just never thought you would feel the same way.”

You couldn’t hold back the happy tears that formed in the corners of your eyes.  Wordlessly, you pulled him into a hug, your bodies coming together like two pieces of a puzzle that had finally been connected. You stayed there for a while, just feeling each other breathe. 

In a few minutes, you’d sneak out the back door of the church. In a few minutes, you’d leave the room with no need for lies to excuse your shared affection. In a few minutes, you’d have to deal with the paperwork that Hotch would inevitably require. But for these last few minutes, all you had to do was hold each other. For now, you were just two people in love, and that was enough.

Prince Protection Program AU

The response to the last post has been amazing. Thanks guys. I don’t plan on making a full on story ( I did at one point, but I have a lot of WIPs to work on), but I still have some riffs to unleash. This is my take on the boys’ life  pre-PPP. Enjoy!

(Also changed the name of Reggie’s kingdom and swapped it for Luke’s btw) 

Link to first post and artwork

Palace life sucked ass.

Usually Lukas would experience that brief split-second of bliss waking up in the morning, where he would blink against the Mediterranean sun seeping through the cracks in his curtains, the feeling of his body cocooned in silk sheets hitting him first and not the fact that he was the Crowned Prince of Solaria.

But after that, it all came crashing down on him in the form of knocking on his door, followed by the more forceful opening of his door, and the filing in of his guardian.

“Ugh,” the prince rolled around, stuffing his head under a pillow, “Five… minutes…”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” James stalked over, tugging the covers off of him, causing Lukas to groan at the loss of warmth, “You know what today is.”

How could he not? It had only been the very thing his parents would talk about for the past year-

The day he would be crowned king.

As was tradition, he was seventeen years of age, the time for him to learn how to be a proper ruler to succeed his father King Mitchell.

Though the problem lay in the very fact that Lukas was many things.

But proper he was not.

Lukas rose, reluctantly, which struck James quite odd. Normally there would be more complaints, a bout or two before he would summon the guards to extricate him from the bed.

“I’ll-” A yawn broke out and the young man rubbed his eyes to rouse himself, “I’ll be there soon.”

James raised an eyebrow.

Lukas lifted a palm in good faith, “I promise.”

The older man stared at him for a moment before leaving to attend to other duties. As soon as he left, the prince quietly tip-toed to the doors, pressing his ear against the cool wood and waited. The sounds of footsteps faded, marking his guardian’s disappearance around the corner.

“Sucker,” Lukas laughed, before shrugging on a shirt, swiping his headphones off his desk, and booking it to his balcony.

He had about a minute and half to scale down the vines encasing his wing of the palace before the guards caught him. 

Over the years, he had to get a bit creative to evade palace security, with his parents sealing off most exits, doubling the guards stationed by his window at night, but nowadays it was much easier to do the riskier, more obvious way to escape. 

No one would expect it.

Hopping down to the lower level and pressing himself against the wall, he crab-walked until he found the door leading into the kitchen.

He slipped through, greeting the staff who all shook their heads at him. They knew better than to dissuade him from doing what he was about to do.  All Geneveive, the head cook, could do was send him off with a bag of food with a “Hurry back now or James will have our heads.”

Biting off a piece of bread, he thanked her with a wink and was off, dancing around the extra busy kitchen and putting on his headphones in the process.

With Nirvana blaring in his ears, Lukas made it to the waterfront and hopped into one of the more modest fishing boats (exchanging one of Genevieve’s sponge cakes for the keys. Thank you, Garrison) and motored off to the islet a few miles out.

20 minutes later, he moored to the dingy port where two other boats were stationed on the small piece of land.

“Oh my god,” he heard someone holler, a guy about his age with jet-black hair and swim trunks, “Is that the future King of Solaria?”

Lukas rolled his eyes, lugging around the small back, “Oh my god. Is that Reginald? The future King of the Crescent Cape?” he mimicked.

Another boy, blonde and tall, lay under the shade of a tree reading, scoffed, “Unfortunately.”

Reginald and Lukas locked eyes and smirked.

“Wait,” Reginald squinted at the blonde, “Is that- No way! It is, Lukas!”

“It so is!” Lukas gasped excitedly, “You’re Prince Alexander!”

“Of the Grybrian Isles? OMG!”

“Thought he’d be taller,”

“Thought he’d be more handsome,”

Alexander got to his feet, rolling his eyes, “Alright. Can you two be any more louder? Do you want them to find us?”

“Chill, they haven’t caught us yet,” Reginald reassured, leading the two other princes deeper into the patch of greenery on the tiny island, one that they all had discovered and have been running to to get away from prince duties for years now.

Lukas would have been driven to madness by royal duties if it weren’t for his friends from the neighboring kingdoms. He, Reginald, and Alexander had known each other their whole lives, their domains all clustered together that made visiting each other so easy. 

But every now and then, they needed to get away from the watchful eye of their parents and guards and the citizens and just be… them.

Lukas was lucky to know that he wasn’t alone in feeling this way, and that he could always turn to his friends.

“You goons better be hungry,” Lukas announced, tossing the bag of food their way.

Reggie dug into the snacks ravenously, “When aren’t we?”

Meanwhile, Alex was pacing, set on a nervous bender, “Aren’t you guys… I don’t know… kinda nervous?”

“Hey,” Lukas flicked a crumb at the other prince, hitting his calf mid-stride, “Thought we weren’t gonna talk about it today.”

“We’re all gonna be king soon, how can we not talk about it?”

The three of them sighed.

Alexander continued on the runway, “I mean, do you feel ready? I’m not ready,”

“Nope,” Reginald popped the ‘p’, frowning, “I hate being the oldest.”

“Why do we have to rule a country at 17? That’s stupid,” Lukas complained, searching through the bushes

“‘It’s tradition, Alexander. It’s what you must do. For the good of Grybria’,” Alexander impersonated, “Ugh. My brother just had to abdicate. Can’t I do that? Can I just abdicate?”

“Your dad would never let you,”

“Maybe if I told him I’m gay, he’d disown me?”

“Alexander,” Lukas warned.

“I was joking!” the blonde muttered, “...mostly.”

“Well what about me?” Reginald started, “I couldn’t take care of a bunny. How can I run a country?!”

Lukas felt around the ground until he hit leather and lugged out a guitar case he had stashed for safe keeping.

“Boys, let’s just… drop it today,” he deescalated. Funny, since he was up for coronation first, his rehearsal ceremony in a few hours, but he was determined to squeeze in some quality time with his friends before he couldn’t anymore, “Can we just chill? For a little while?” While they still could...

The other princes nodded.

“Okay. Now…” he took out his guitar and slung the strap over his shoulder, “Wanna jam?”

That brought a smile onto all of their faces.

They gathered in a circle, Lukas signaling at Alexander, who immediately began clapping a beat:

“1, 2, 3, 4-”

As it turns out, Ren is more sane, logical and functions generally better, without the Force.

◾ We Have So Much To Talk About by BlackKyber | 2.5k |      General Hux’s relationship with Kylo Ren is a complicated one. Their busy lives and differing personalities often clash with each other, making it difficult for the two of them to find peace with one another.When one of them falls ill, however, life finally slows down enough for the other to be able to fully evaluate where they are in life ... and where they might be heading.    

◾ For Your Own Good by @threewinterssnow | 2k | Kylo has the flu and he's acting like it's the end of the world. Hux does not get paid enough to deal with this.

◾ Through Sickness and Secrets [Iatrogenic] by NatashaRS | 7.8k | Kylo Ren hates Hux. He hates him a lot. Which is why it's rather unusual that when, upon finding a sick general, he does not kill him. Cue sweet moments, bickering, and a not-so-human Hux.

◾ As long as stars are above you by @ellstra | 2.1k | Hux gets injured because he just has to put his important regal person in danger and Kylo is not amused. He's admitted he cares for Hux, why is that not enough for Hux to stop making idiotic decisions?

◾ With Dignity by @kyluxtrashpit | 4.4k | When Hux is captured by the Resistance, he vows to do whatever is necessary to avoid giving away the Order's secrets. Left with no other options, he stops eating and drinking, intending to end himself as a precaution. The Resistance, however, knows how much Hux knows and have no intention of losing him to anything, including himself.

◾ Flicker in the Void by @mothdust | 30k | Hux watched in silence as the light swept over his body. The power stunned him, as did the bright jet of flame as it licked its color into his eyes. This was not the calm brightness of last night in the presence of Kylo Ren. This was a different sort of light altogether, massive and deadly. It overwhelmed him. For a moment Hux felt an aching regret deep within himself, the sob of someone he used to be, bubbling up from the cold.

◾ A Reckless Act of Domination and Intimacy by the_heauxly_trinity | 110k | After the death of Snoke and the Battle of Crait, long-time rivals Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and General Armitage Hux must cooperate or everything they value will self-destruct. Hux knows he is the First Order's last line of defense against a raging, uncontrolled monster, and he knows how little he can do to influence him... until Ren's pragmatic attempt to "learn more about him" presents Hux with what he believes is his only chance, unethical though it may be, to save his cause.The story of a boy named Kylo, and a boy named Armitage, and how with their love they saved each other from every bad thing that had ever happened to either of them.Believe it or not, this gets pretty dark.

◾ Confined Spaces by @milliethecat | 31k | Kylo Ren and General Hux are captured and sold by a bounty hunter, and forced to share a cell, all while Kylo has his powers suppressed, making him see life in a different light. While Hux formulates actual plans to escape, Kylo realises that he and Hux have more in common than he thought, and a compatibility that could be both useful and devastating. Meanwhile, their captor takes a disturbing liking to Hux, and in the face of his threats, Hux comes to Kylo with a request that would indebt him to Kylo forever, if only the alternative wasn't so much worse.

◾ Meet Me Halfway by @callmelyss | 5.5k | “I don’t do that,” Hux responds in an undertone before he realizes. He flushes—hard—and scowls. “If that will be all, Supreme Leader…” He turns on his heel without waiting to be dismissed and starts to stalk back the way he came, grateful, as ever, for the wide sweep of his greatcoat, the padded shoulders making him feel less—small. He’s halfway out of the room (and what a waste of space) when what he said must catch up with Ren: “You mean you…never?”He freezes, every muscle in his body tensing. Won’t say it out loud. No, he emphasizes, clear as he can. Knowing Ren will hear, knowing he will see it regardless, terrible nosy busybody that he is. I haven’t.

◾ Turquoise Scales by @fandomlander | 7.7k | As the lights come on, he can see Hux on the bed. He can’t help his sharp intake of breath as he takes in the scene; Hux lies down on his back, eyes closed shut and a grimace of pain on his face. He looks pale and there are drops of sweat beading on his skin. He’s naked. Kylo is by the bed in two long strides. He swallows. “Kriff…”Hux’s eyes jolt open and he throws that defiant glance at Kylo. Reaches for the covers of the bed to shield his feet and legs. But it’s no use because Kylo already saw. He saw the turquoise scales on Hux, covering a large part of his ankles and his lower legs.

◾ Vampire Hux and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Werewolf      by @nerdherderette | 6.2k | As first impressions go, Hux admits the one he made with Kylo was pretty terrible, but he sets about to remedy the situation. He should have seen the signs—the dark circles under Kylo’s eyes, the surly demeanor, compounded by the stress of moving the day right after a full moon. (Which, like, what even? That’s Creatures 101 levels of shit not to do. Hux has no illusions about the intelligence of his new neighbor, but then again, his ass isn’t screaming for a good braining). He shakes his head. A fucking werewolf. Here, in Arkanis Hills.

◾ Hungry for The Kill by @nonsensicalsoliloquy | 47k | As was clearly his lot, Kylo’s day went from over the moon to piece of utter horseshit in a matter of progressively depressing hours. His ginger hadn’t shown up to the library – an anomaly in itself – on the very day Kylo had finally worked up the nerve to talk to him; his subsequent wild run in the woods had yielded little relief for his dismal mood, and on top of that he’d somehow gotten tricked into a trap of a trap through sheer disbelief of a hunter’s stupidity. And now. Now he was locked in a cage in some shady room, stuck in his wolf form, wounded and cramped and not at all pleased. But worse still, it appeared as though Kylo was not the only restless animal trapped there, anxious of an uncertain fate no doubt waiting for them all.

◾ On the upper glass shelf by @courgette96 | 22.5k | There once was a lead soldier with a crack on his face, who lived under the bed where forgotten toys go.

And something bigger still, that would allow them to overcome all of it.

◾ Captive by @embershx | 2.9k | When Hux followed Kylo Ren home he should have expected he would end up like this - In the vampire's basement bound, helpless, and unable to resist.

◾They Who Hold The Galaxy Upon a String by @mademoisellebianx | 19.8k For so long, it irked Armitage Hux that Kylo Ren had never given him attention. It may be ironic how much he wanted the attention of someone he supposedly hated, but Armitage could not help himself. After proposing a truce between him and the Supreme Leader (a truce that backfired when Kylo asked him to prove his loyalty by becoming the Supreme Leader’s consort), he finally got most, if not all, of Kylo's attention. Too much of it, in fact.

◾ O Bury Me Not by @babbushka | 75k | Armitage Hux has only ever had one dream: ruling the oceans with an iron fist.

A The Taming of the Shrew AU.

◾ The Measure of Man by @courgette96 | 124k | After demonstrating his brilliance in the latest Military campaign, Major Armitage Hux of the Hussars ought to have been rewarded by the respect and admiration of England’s Upper Crust. Instead, he finds that blood and heritage are still the sole currency of value, and that his merit is worth very little in the face of the mediocre House his father has saddled him with.However, when he finds himself implicated in a covert plot to restore England to the past glory of its Imperialistic days, he sees the opportunity to satisfy his ambition and achieve the greatness he deserves. To reach the top of society, it is far easier to bring it down first.It would have been a straightforward plan, were it not for the intervention of one Lord Kylo Ren. All too soon, Hux finds himself swept away by an impossible man, the rise of appetites and affections he has long tried to bury within himself, and the discovery of a power that goes beyond what mere science might explain.

Hux fears that Ren will demote him, or worse. There must be a way to ensure not only his self-preservation but his status within the Order, to bind Ren to him permanently, to make Ren need him more than he ever needed Snoke. An insane idea is born—to undergo a partial sex reassignment procedure in secret, and trick Ren into unknowingly impregnating him. He’ll play on Ren’s insecurities, use science and seduction to entrap Ren; to bolster control over him, down to his bloodline. And when he’s under his spell, Hux can finally slaughter him and take his place as Supreme Leader. At least, that’s the plan. Hux has only himself to blame when it all starts to crumble around him.

***

Darkness still cloaked the bedroom when Touko opened her eyes. 

When they started rebuilding Hope’s Peak, the only intact building had been the old school building where the killing game took place, so until Touko and the others rebuilt a dormitory building on the south side of campus, they had been forced to reside there. Even after they transferred over to where they lived now, nightmares continued to lap at them and run ghostly fingers down their spines. 

Sometimes, they still did. Have nightmares.

Like flowers rearing their heads after a barren winter, a city grew around the new Hope’s Peak, where ash was snow and dead, decayings leaves were substituted with dead bodies, but even so, even now, the city left a lot to be desired. Scaffolding grew up buildings like vines, buildings made from ruins, and during the day and sometimes well into the night, the whirr and roar of machinery grumbled through the school grounds. Those first few weeks so long ago proved difficult to sleep through. Hearing those noises reminded the survivors of the killing game, of the rattle of machine guns, of the heart-wrenching explosions that teased their hearing during their confinement years ago. It sounded like the battering of baseballs. The roar of a motorcycle engine. Fire crackling. A laptop being smashed. A conveyor belt buzzing.

Just clearing the rubble took years.

Tonight, she hadn’t had a nightmare. Had just woken up from a dreamless sleep. The only lights in the bedroom - two, to be precise - originated from a night light sat on the bedside table nearest Touko while the other hovered on her other side. Touko grabbed her glasses off the bedside table and put them on so she could see what created the other light.

It turned out to be the face of the laptop resting on her husband’s lap.

Their mattress creaked as she shifted her weight. She squinted, her heavy eyes adjusting to the pocket of light. It reflected off Byakuya’s glasses, and the shadows on his face stood out like a coffee stain on one of his many white shirts. Though the darkness scared her because anything could lurk in it, such as monsters and nothingness and hands that weren’t hers, she knew it was his face it clung to here on their bed, and so she wasn’t scared.

“Byakuya?” she mumbled as she fixed her glasses.

He didn’t turn his head in the slightest. His finger stroked his laptop’s touchpad, and his lips remained pursed in concentration.

“Decorations like frills and ribbons can irritate a newborn’s skin,” he murmured without looking up.

Barely processing what he said due to the fog of sleep clouding her mind, she nodded, lay her head down again and drifted back to sleep.

Approximately seven weeks ago, Touko revealed her pregnancy to Byakuya and approximately seven weeks ago, Byakuya stared back at her, frozen. Time held its breath. Then, within seconds, the walls of surprise around him shattered and he grabbed her shoulders, breaking into a smile. Not one of his smirks or a twist of the mouth that could be misconstrued as a sneer, but a smile that showed a row of even white teeth that blurred as she welled up. He let go of her shoulders and after she pounced into his chest, muffling her cries of happiness with his shirt, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her deeper into a hug.

They were going to have a baby.

They were going to be parents.

Since that moment in the doorway of their bathroom, both of them had thrown themselves into preparations. Byakuya arranged the baby shower and insisted they order in and set up the necessary equipment for checkups in the first aid room, rather than have Touko fly out to a hospital for them. She hated hospitals. As well as that, he attended each appointment, holding Touko’s hand as Hiroko spread jelly onto Touko’s stomach, and he took photos each time the baby scan appeared on the screen even though Hiroko said she could get him a copy.

And they had a lot of appointments.

A lot.

All their friends heaped the couple with support, and that included Touko’s alter. So far, Syo only fronted occasionally, mostly when Touko’s hormones ran too wild. Touko hadn’t spoken to her alter about it, but she had her suspicions, and Byakuya confirmed them when he told her that Syo informed him she didn’t like the sensation of being pregnant so avoided coming out. Still, Touko would awake and the baby would be fine, and one time, Touko discovered a package ordered in her name, and it turned out to be a t-shirt with ‘VODKA AUNT’ printed on the front and a baby romper suit that had ‘BACK OFF! I HAVE A CRAZY AUNT AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO USE HER’ written on it with hearts around the text.

The one thing they hadn’t done much of yet was baby clothes shopping. Keyword being ‘yet’. Hiroko bought a couple of things for them, mostly blankets and bath towels, and their friends gave them various bits and bobs, but according to a website dedicated to babycare that Byakuya found, they needed more, and both Byakuya and Touko wanted to do some of the shopping for themselves. It was a simple thing that both craved.

And so, late one morning, the doors of a clothing store in one of the city’s districts yawned open as Touko and Byakuya emerged into it together. After a couple of steps, with Byakuya taking the lead, wearing a burgundy jacket paired with matching trousers and a green t-shirt, he came to a stop. Other shoppers were sprinkled throughout the white-walled area, shuffling their feet across the scuffed flooring as they meandered between shelf units and clothing racks.

Byakuya pushed up his glasses and surveyed his surroundings. He spotted a sign on a nearby wall, boasting arrows labelled with various clothing sections.

“They’re on this floor,” he said.

“Good,” replied Touko, eyeing outfits that wouldn’t fit her anymore. Her pale red floral flare maternity dress fitted her snugly, as did her purple leggings. 

His eyes flitted over to Touko. He gave a nod, grabbed a canvas bag from a line of them and beckoned to her. She followed him across the floor, one hand holding his hand while her other was placed on her stomach. Gaps and spaces that could fit more clothes bloated shelves and racks, as if the couple arrived at the end of the day after a huge sale, but Touko suspected that this was all the stock the shop had.

Oh well. They would make do. The couple pressed on, passing piles of vest tops, lines of leggings and printed t-shirts, but neither gave them a second glance. As they weaved past a display shelf showcasing jeans of various shades, two girls blocked their path, chatting loudly with jerky hand flourishes and seemingly unaware of the world beyond their bubble.

Touko grimaced. Byakuya squared his shoulders.

“Move,” he said, pointing a finger at them. “My wife’s coming through.”

She could have swooned, but she just placed her hand on her cheek.

The girls scrunched up their faces but as Touko drew closer, their eyes flickered and they reluctantly shunted to one side to let them pass. Byakuya grabbed her hand again and strode on with Touko in tow, and they continued across the shop floor until they arrived at a section with colourful clothing that reminded Touko of a bouquet of flowers. A large board hung on the wall nearby, with a photo of a smiling mother and her baby on it.

However, more worthy of their attention were the miniature clothes surrounding them. Little t-shirts. Small romper suits. Some had writing on them with little quips and statements. Others were plainer, wordless. Byakuya plucked a blue jumper off a rail and rubbed one of its sleeves between his thumb and forefinger.

“Assuming you got pregnant around January, our child will be due in October,” he said, keeping his eyes downcast as he studied the material as gently as one would handle the infant wearing it. “At such an early stage of their development, babies grow at a quick pace. Therefore, we will want to buy clothes on the bigger side. Our child will still be able to fit into them even if the article is for an older child. We will want warmer clothes for when he’s born,  and lighter weight clothes in a size of nine months to one year for when he reaches six months... While we do have some baby clothes gifted to us from our friends, we should buy a few more zero to three months outfits to cover all bases...”

Every word that uncurled from his mouth tugged Touko’s lips into a wider smile. She bobbed her head in agreement and poked her index fingers together. 

“You’re ever so prepared, Darling,” she told him with a simper. Byakuya nudged up his glasses.

“Of course I am. Our child deserves the best and nothing less,” he replied. He returned the jumper to the rail and began rifling through the other hangers, inspecting the rest of the stock. The metal hooks scraped as he pulled them along. Behind him, Touko did the same.

Some outfits bore slogans that reminded Touko of the romper suit Yasuhiro gave them - one colour, with writing on the front and in his case, it had just said, ‘INSERT IMAGE HERE’ with nothing else on it. She pouted as she visualised it in her head and hauled a different, unexceptional romper suit toward herself, after which she widened her eyes, seeing the one hiding behind it.

“We have to buy him this!” she said, snatching a hanger off the rail. Byakuya turned, holding a pink corduroy romper with bunny decals.

Her fingers pinched the shoulders of a white romper suit. On the front, in bold, black font, it said, ‘OF COURSE I’M CUTE, LOOK AT MY DADDY’.

Byakuya clicked his tongue with a furrowed brow. She continued staring at him. He turned away and elevated one finger, pointing it upward.

“... Newborn size,” he said.

Touko deposited the romper suit into their fabric bag. Byakuya draped the romper suit he found over his forearm and the pair resumed leafing through the rails for more outfits. An excited flutter trembled in her chest as she hunted through the different clothing. Dresses with pockets that a baby wouldn’t need. Cotton onesies with faces of animals and cartoon mascots on them. She moved onto the next rail, dragged a few hangers, and gasped.

“This one!” Touko shrieked, and she revealed a grey romper suit that said in black cursive, ‘MUM + DAD = ME.’”

Byakuya faced her and read it. He narrowed his eyes. “Let me feel it.”

She held it out, and he rubbed the sleeve between his thumb and index finger.

“... They’re rather lightweight, so I would buy one that is labelled for nine months to a year,” he said.

Touko stored the romper suit in the fabric bag and straightened up. They both continued facing each other. He stepped toward her. She tilted her head back, drinking in the sight of him. Of his blond hair that she loved running her fingers through, his blue eyes she could stare into for hours and his tall frame that fitted around her so perfectly. Without a word, he brought his hand forward and placed it gently against her bump. 

Neither spoke, and in this nook of silence, Touko wondered if her father ever accompanied her mothers on their shopping trips when one of them had been pregnant with her. If he ever picked out a snap button t-shirt and imagined her in it, if he checked the sizes on different shoes to find a pair that would fit her, his baby. If he went with one mother. If he went with both mothers. If he bothered to go at all. She never asked, and so she wondered if her mothers ever looked forward to the birth of their children. If they ambled through shops, choosing little outfits, and if they ever cared at all. They certainly hadn’t after she was born alive and her half-sister wasn’t.

With a shaky breath, she looked up. Byakuya’s eyes were trained on her bump. He had told her he had been conceived in a laboratory dish. While she grew up as a second thought, as a burden, as a slap in the face by her mothers’ older boyfriend’s infidelity, as a shackle they couldn’t escape from, Byakuya had been wanted, specifically created to continue the conglomerate, as a business investment, and grew up being told the world would be his. The conglomerate tried to mould and shape him into its perfect successor. Anything less wasn’t good enough. Byakuya, one of more than a hundred, whose other siblings had been sent into exile and cursed with the fate all losers of the heir selection process fell to. Byakuya, who couldn’t remember meeting his father until he won. A father, who his son referred to as ‘Togami-sama’, a cold and heartless man who Byakuya would have grown into if he hadn’t enrolled at Hope’s Peak. Met his classmates. Met Touko. Felt love. To everyone else, he was Togami, but to her, he was Byakuya.

After a life full of conflicts, of constant death and loss, a life where their greatest conflicts were now finding enough baby clothes or getting past a few people in a store was something both treasured.

Love glowed in her chest, warm and filling.

“I’m really happy, Byakuya,” she said softly.

He met her gaze and swallowed, and he replied, 

“I am as well.”

fkingdom - mr robot verse [ mild spoilers for mr robot ]

verse tag - my new modern verse. please let it be known even if your character is mentioned that does not mean in anyway do you have to adhere to the role OR follow things exactly. Mr. Robot has alot of death and I am not going to force that on any characters.

Carlos Oscar de Vil, son of Cruella de Vil, though he rather you not know that. You can search her on the internet and get article upon article, picture upon picture. But the only mention you will find of him is his name on her wikipedia page. Most of that is thanks to Carlos himself, but also his mother wishes she didn’t exist. Carlos keeps his presence online small, that’s what happens when you are a hacker, you don’t trust anyone.

Carlos’ childhood was far from normal, Cruella’s abuse however was something he saw as normal. He wasn’t normal. With a brain too big, an absent father, and an ever present cousin named Diego, its hard to have a normal childhood. Evie helped, and later Mal helped to. Two childhood friends. They made school normal, well they tried to. All three of them were affected by Auradon Group, a conglomerate that is everywhere, and has their fingers in every pie. Run by Adam, or as he is known the Beast, the company is ruthless, and covered up a cancer scandal that killed Diego, Evie’s dad, and someone in Mal’s family too. 

Carlos and Diego were close. He was like a dad. He opened a computer business, it was small but effective when he got sick and was fired from Auradon group. He took Carlos to see movies. He also “pushed” Carlos out a window. But asking Carlos to really remember any of these events is not something that is successful. He forgets things. He forgot Mal for example.

Its been a few years since high school though. Its all forgotten, he made himself forget. But that’s fine. He’s in therapy now because he got angry and broke things at a server farm at his lost job. His therapist is a bit stupid, but she can’t help it, she’s more like a fairy godmother than a therapist though. She’s got her own problems, be conned by a guy cheating on his wife for example. She doesn’t help much though, he still sees people, one in particular. He still does drugs. He still feels alone.

His current job is at Cyber Heroes was gotten for him by Evie who was a manager he was just a tech. Cyber Heroes has a big client, Auradon Group. Carlos is one of the techs on the case. Doug, Evie’s boyfriend who has an unhealthy obsession with Josh Groban, and is a bit stupid if you ask Carlos, also works at Cyber Heroes. He wants them to be friends, Carlos is fine with them not being friends. Among the leaders in Auradon group included Chad, he wants to be CTO, chief technology officer. He’s close, but a bit aggressive in what he wants.

A hack happens on the servers that Cyber Heroes are supposed to protect for Auradon Group. Yen Sid the CEO of Cyber Heroes has Evie call in Carlos. They can’t fix the problem on sight so they go to the server farm. Carlos finds the source of the hack, but its odd. The signature is fKingdom. He wants to delete but he can’t. He reroutes the server so only he can access and monitor it. Everything is fine, and he must find out what fKingdom is. He finds as much as he can, but there isn’t much. There isn’t much until Mr. Robot shows up, and has Carlos follow him.

fKingdom is a hacker group, one of the best in the USA. The best because of who they have doing the work. Mal, Harry and Jace Badun (cousins not brothers), Freddie Facilier, Anthony Tremaine, Mr. Robot, and him if he can be convinced. Mr. Robot tells him some key information, things to add into what he already knows to take Beast down. He reluctantly agrees.

He puts together a new packet with the Beast info. When the meeting about the hack happens, and Beast tells Evie to leave because she is not up to speed, Carlos decides to take him down, instead of turn fKingdom in. He still sees people following him, so he goes to his next door neighbor Jane, he doesn’t like to think of her as his drug dealer, but she is. She’s really nice, he likes her. He’ll take her to a party later, they’ll go on dates, and be boyfriend and girlfriend. And then he ruined it because her drug dealer Hades, is an absolute ass. He ruined it, and he has to forget Jane.

He confronts his therapists boyfriend, and steals his dog Dude. Dude is not well trained at all. The thing to know about Carlos he doesn’t want to hurt people and the more he digs into fKingdom, the more that happens, he knows that is going to happen. Mal calls him a dumbass about it.

Chad wants Carlos at Auradon Group, Carlos can’t do it. He asks if he can think about it because that’s better than a no. He cannot join the evil guy. It doesn’t work like that. Chad is still trying to get the CTO position, he and his girlfriend Audrey plan something together. They will figure something out, and will do whatever it takes. To bad it doesn’t work the best and Chad is implicated and then he disappears.

fKingdom in the meantime is working on a big hack, a hack to end Auradon Group for good. Carlos has to enter The Moors, the most secure and well equipped data protection center in the world. He gets in through manipulation of a few employees, help from Mr. Robot, and his alias Smith Close. Its tense and Carlos nearly fails. The hack happens and things start happening, but they also start to go downhill. Anthony is found dead, and his mother Lady Tremaine, who is in the process of moving doesn’t realize her packing material leads the FBI and agent Li Lonnie to nearly discovering fKingdom. Thankfully Lonnie, rules out Anthony’s cousin Dizzy from any fowl play. Carlos prefers it that way. Dizzy is innocent in all this.

The Lost Revenge, a remote Hacker Group who has been helping fKingdom the whole time through the help of Mal’s boyfriend Ben. They are stirring. More importantly their leader, a government official named Uma to the public, but Pirate Queen in the hacker circles, is moving. With the help of her trusty second hand Gil, they make moves publicly to help potentially save Auradon Group, with their government’s interests in mind.

Carlos is not doing well, he remembers Mal, after an event he rather not. He also remembers Diego, and realizes its Diego he’s been seeing which makes no sense because Diego is dead. Dude eats a computer part, which leads to Carlos getting arrested. After all Dude is micro-chipped.

Jail is hard for Carlos. There are so many things going on. He meets Jay, who is actually working for the Pirate Queen, but is deep under cover, and the two form a bond. Its a strange bond but Jay has Carlos’ back. The warden Facilier, no relation to Freddie, Carlos made sure, has Carlos do some hacking for him. Not the good kind of hacking. The kind of hacking that Carlos does not want to do and it nearly gets him killed among other things.

Meanwhile Evie is working on using the released information from Beast to renew the law suit that they failed years ago because of such a big cover up. She goes to Maleficent, or that’s what everyone calls her, its a lovely last name, one of the best defense lawyers in the business who worked on the case before. They come up with a plan. A plan which Evie tries to move forward on her own. She does so by getting a job at Auradon Group. But things are happening even if they are not how everything is supposed to go.

Carlos has not heard from Chad since the night of the big hack, and it worries him. Audrey hasn’t either, and when Carlos tries to confront her it backfires a bit. But she is dealing with her own problems, namely problems that Chad left behind but it will all work out. Thankfully she still has funds, she was one of the few that actually does.

Mal covers for Carlos being gone. And continues on fKingdom’s plans. The first is to uproot Leah, the head of legal at Auradon Group. Its done with ease. The next is to make a fool of Auradon Group which they do. After all chief officer burning 500k in the streets makes a statement. A statement that is reiterated on live TV, with a situation Evie will likely never get over.

Uma gets Jay, and her clean up guy Harry to get Carlos out of jail. But she has so much more work to do. So much more work, and so little time. She only cares about Carlos. So she sends Gil and Jay to clean up the rest of the mess of fKingdom. Harry and Jace are gone in a flash, and Freddie is framed. Their families hate Carlos. But Carlos wants to make it right, Freddie had a sister though, Celia. And she puts things into perspective for Carlos, they go from hating each other, to not hating each other in the course of a very hard day. She stops Carlos from making bad decisions.

Things begin to steam role the FBI is onto them. Lonnie meets Mal and takes her in. Yen Sid has an unfortunate ending after threatening to turn Carlos in for the hack, even though he doesn’t remember much of it. And Carlos accepts that he has dissociative identity disorder. His therapist asks to meet Mr. Robot, or Diego, and he says its a bad idea. It very much is, but Diego meets her anyways.

Harry has to clean up so many messes, including one at the FBI which puts Lonnie in a new and difficult position, and everyone pisses him off because of it. Mal has Leah meet her unfortunate end, and the list goes on. Hades comes back too.

Let it be known this is not a tale of happily every afters, those were the price for saying Fuck the Kingdom.

And now Peter Parker was staring at you, his hair sticking up in all directions.

For a second, the two of you just looked at each other. Part of you wanted to believe that this was just a silly costume, but you knew it wasn’t.

“This is why I’ve been missing all those decathlon practices, and why I quit band, and why I got that busted lip,” Peter said, his voice a little shaky. “This is the Stark Internship. I’m Spider-Man,” he added, like that wasn’t obvious enough already.

You didn’t say anything, still struggling to process everything that had just been thrown at you. Slowly, everything began to make sense.

“I’m sorry,” he said quietly. “I didn’t want to lie to you anymore.”

You could feel several powerful emotions radiating off of him, emotions he was trying to show you: fear of his identity being discovered, fear of getting hurt, of others getting hurt, the anxiety of balancing school and being a superhero, the loneliness of not being able to tell anyone his secret, the guilt and the hatred he felt whenever he couldn’t save someone. It was so much you could barely stand it.

But you could also feel that he was afraid of you: afraid you’d hate him for dragging you into this, putting you in danger, making this a part of your life forever now. Afraid you’d never want to see him again after this. Afraid he’d just ruined everything.

Finally, you found your voice. “Peter,” you said. You were still in shock, but your voice came out steady. “It’s okay. It’s all okay.”

He blinked at you before looking at the ground, and you could see tears glistening in his eyes. You hesitated for a second before you moved forward and hugged him.

Peter went stiff with surprise, but you refused to let go, and eventually he relaxed, his arms slowly coming around your back. You stood silently like that for a while, and it wasn’t lost on you that this was the first time you and Peter had ever been close like this. And you liked it.

“You’re not mad?” he asked, his voice muffed into your shoulder.

“No,” you said. It was strange because you knew you should be mad, and you knew you had every right to be. But you weren’t.

“I do have a lot of questions though,” you continued. “If you’re up for answering them.”

“Yeah,” Peter said, lifting his head and wiping his nose. “Yeah, of course. Just . . . can we go somewhere else?”

“Sure,” you said. “Wherever you want.”

* * *

“I didn’t mean here,” you squeaked, squeezing your eyes shut.

Peter had led you out of the subway to a huge apartment building, so tall you had to crane your neck to see the top. “What are we doing here?” you’d asked.

“You’ll see,” was all Peter had said. He’d put his mask back on so you couldn’t see his face, and it just made you even more nervous. He’d beckoned you over with a short wave of his hand.

You’d reluctantly moved closer to him, but were caught off guard when he put one arm around you and shot out a web. “Wait a second,” you’d said, realizing just a little too late what he was about to do.

And then there was nothing below you anymore, just open air, and you were being lifted higher and higher off the ground. “Oh, fuck!” you’d shrieked before you could stop yourself, clinging to Peter even tighter. Everything passed by you in a blur, which was good, as you didn’t want to know how high up you were or what would happen if Peter were to let go. You didn’t breathe until you felt solid ground beneath your feet again, and even then you’d only let out a short breath before you saw where you were and immediately closed your eyes. 

“C’mon, open your eyes,” Peter coaxed now. He was sitting on the ledge of the building, but you’d remained where you were, refusing to even look at your surroundings.

“You brought me to the top of a fucking building,” you accused him, shaking your head. “Are you insane? I told you I don’t like heights!”

“Would you just come sit down? Please?”

Slowly, you opened your eyes and saw he was looking back at you, motioning for you to come over. “I am not coming over there,” you insisted. “I’m gonna fall.”

“If you fall I’ll catch you,” he said simply. “I promise.”

With a sigh, you took tiny steps to where he was, taking his hand and cautiously lowering yourself next to him. As long as you didn’t look down, you were okay. In fact, staring out at the city skyline, it was actually really pretty.

“See? You’re fine,” Peter said.

“For now.”

He laughed. You glanced over and saw he still had his mask on. “Take that thing off,” you said.

“Why?”

“’Cause I wanna see your face, that’s why.”

“You’d rather look at Peter Parker than at Spider-Man?” His tone was sarcastic on the surface, but you could read him easily.

“Yeah. I would,” was all you said.

There was a pause. And then Peter pulled off his mask, crumpling it up in his hand. “You’re the only one,” he said finally.

You shrugged. “Does anyone else really matter, though?”

You’d been half-joking, but to your surprise Peter said, “No.” You glanced over at him in time to see him look away, his cheeks tinged the lightest shade of pink.

The two of you sat there in embarrassed silence until you finally said, “Wait a second. When I was at your house for dinner and we were eating ice cream, they did a story about Spider-Man on TV. And I said that it would be cool to meet him. That was you?”

The smallest trace of a smirk was beginning to creep its way onto his face. “Yeah.”

“So you literally listened to me fangirl to you . . . about you?”

“Yup.”

“Oh my God.” Now it was your turn to flush. “I might have to jump off this building now. That’s so embarrassing.”

“I didn’t think it was,” Peter said, though his shit-eating grin said otherwise. “I thought it was cute.”

Cute. He thought you were cute. God, what was the matter with you? He was your frenemy; friend, even. What he thought about you didn’t mean anything in the slightest. So why was there warmth spreading through you from head to toe? Why was he smiling? And more importantly, why were you?

“How long have you been . . . this?” you asked to change the subject.

“Since freshman year,” he answered, glad to do the same.

“Was that before or after . . .” You trailed off, unsure if the question you wanted to ask was appropriate or not.

“Before,” he answered. “I mean, I got the powers before. But I was scared, you know? I didn’t know what to do. But after he died, I realized that I could stop stuff like that from happening to someone else. So I do.”

You looked at him almost in awe. “That’s really brave of you.”

“You think?”

“Yeah. I can’t imagine how hard that must’ve been,” you said quietly. “For you or your aunt.”

“He really was her soulmate,” Peter said, staring at something in the distance. “They did everything together. When he died, it was like a part of her died too. And it’s only just started to get better.”

“I’m sorry,” you said.

“She doesn’t know,” he said. “About this, I mean. Me.”

You raised your eyebrows. “You’ve been keeping this from her for two years?”

“Yeah,” he said. “It hasn’t been easy, believe me. But it would crush her if she found out. She’d flip.”

“Can’t imagine why,” you said dryly.

He ignored you. “She’s been through enough. If she knew, all she’d do was try to stop me.”

“But that wouldn’t work.”

He smiled. “No. So she’d just worry. And then it would worry me. So it’s just better if she doesn’t know.” He blinked, almost like he was forcing himself to come back. “I’m sorry for springing all of this on you. I know it’s a lot.”

“Yeah, kind of,” you agreed.

“I just . . . you said that I didn’t trust you. I wanted to show you that I do.” He laughed a little. “And you’re actually taking it way better than I thought you would.”

“Honestly? I’m pretty freaked out, dude,” you said. “You just told me that you’re Spider-Man and that you go around fighting crime and putting your life on the line every day. And that there are tons of bad guys out there that want to kill you who could find out your identity and then potentially find out mine. So I mean yeah, that kind of scares me.”

Peter furrowed his eyebrows as you continued. “But . . . you’re my soulmate. So I’m kind of stuck with it no matter what, right?”

“You don’t have to be,” Peter said, his voice low as he suddenly became very interested in his feet.

You let the silence hang over you for a second before you reached out and took his hand. He quickly looked at you, eyes wide. “Maybe I want to be,” you said quietly.

Slowly, a smile grew on Peter’s face. He went back to staring out at the horizon. You did the same, and you stayed like that until the sun was setting and it was time to go home.

After that day, something changed. It just took you a while to see it.
