Get all your desires within a week

Have you been having trouble manifesting? Are you sick and tired of waking up everyday in your current reality and it feels like you tried every single possible manifestation technique out there yet nothing seems to work? I have come up with a 7 day challenge for you.

How do I know this works?

The universe doesn't give you what you want, it gives you what you ARE. By doing this challenge you will be matching the frequency of your dr which will allow your cr to transform.

This is a very powerful technique. Please make sure you know exactly what you want.

So, here are some of the rules:

You identify your desired reality as your current reality

You do EVERYTHING you would do in your dr, even if uncomfortable (for example, if your desired self(ds) goes to the gym at 5am everyday that's exactly what you're gonna do. It's only a week.)

Your "Cr" is your past. It is not your reality, it's imagination. Your dr is your only "correct and real" reality. After all you're doing everything you would in your dr, so that makes it your current reality.

You do this for 7 days. No cheating!

Feel free to add your own rules for yourself!

Now for the process

1.Write down your goals

What does your desired reality actually look like? Think about it and write it down. Yes, WRITE it down. Don't just think about it. Whether you do it on your notes app or on a piece of paper, write down clear habits of your ds. Some examples:

Goes to sleep at _ and wakes up at _

Works out

Works on her business/skills

Etc. anything. It doesn't have to be something important. Anything you can think of that you desire.

2.Identify your blocks

Now it's time to be brutally honest with yourself. WHY do you think your desires aren't here yet? What is blocking you from receiving your manifestations. This is the part that most people fail at, which causes them to not get their desires. Releasing those blocks can be difficult, but without it you are literally blocking your manifestations. I suggest you really research this topic, but here are some of the most common ones:

You see your 3D as your REAL reality.

You keep stressing about getting your desire NOW.

You have a lack mindset.

You don't trust yourself.

You check your 3D for your results.

3.Find the difference

Now that you know what you want it's time to find the differences. Now it might seem obvious, but again, you need to write it down. Since you already have what your desired reality looks like, here's how I do it in the easiest way. You write down your desired reality on one side and compare your current reality to it on the other side. For example: (let's just act one is on the left side and one is on the right side).

Dr: Wake up at 7am.

Cr: Wake up at 10am.

This will make it easier to change your habits later.

4.Act like you're in your dr

Now that you know what your goal is and what the difference is you are going to switch. Your desired reality is your new reality. Your current reality does not exist. It's your past. You are now in your desired reality and you KNOW that. Do everything you would do in this reality. From waking up to going to sleep. The whole day. Does your ds wake up at 5am and goes to the gym? Good. That's exactly what you're gonna do because it's your current reality. You are your dream self and your dream self is you.

5.Ignore your reality.

Now it's time for you to decide that your current reality is just a mindset. And you need to switch that mindset. You want the best for yourself and you will get it. You just need to allow it, so, from now on your only right reality is the reality you created for yourself. All the outside noise doesn't change that, because it is your reality now.

Ok, when will I get my results?

Immediately. The moment you start doing this and actually believe and persist that's the moment it becomes your reality.

But when will I see it in my 3D?

Once you accept you really have it. You need to actually believe it, and when that happens, you won't be looking for your 3D to confirm that. That's exactly when it appears in your 3D. It can be the same day, same week, same month, same or next year. You decide when you trust the universe. This is just an exercise to help those who keep stressing about their 3D. And it works magic.

summary: ghost finds himself at the wrong safe house, injured and unable to call for backup

simon ‘ghost’ riley x innocent fem!reader

warnings: mdni (18+), mention of nudity, mention of food, simons a flirt

prev part masterlist next part

a/n: haven’t proofread this yet, sorry for any grammatical errors

It’s a loud banging that wakes you, echoing through the walls of the small cottage, shifting frames on the wall as it continues.

In a sleepy daze you remember how Simon had mentioned he was going to fix the shower, something about mould and needing to redo the tile, what you didn’t recall was him saying he’d start work promptly at 7am, effectively disrupting your peaceful slumber.

You trudge your way out of the bedroom, wrapping the blanket around your form for some warmth as you stand in the doorway to the bathroom, heavy eyes watching him.

It takes him no time at all to acknowledge your presence, probably due to whatever training he’d acquired over the years, he could notice a mosquito shift from 10 feet away, such keen eyes.

He turns to you, his dark clothes sprinkled with powdered remnants of tile, “Did I wake you?”

You smile weakly, “You know there’s no rush, can always start these things, I dunno, in the afternoon”

“Woke up early, wanted to get a head start”

“Head start, sure, yeah” You dig your palms into your eyes, trying to rub the sleep from them, he drops his tools, moving closer to you and gently wrapping his fingers around your wrists, tugging them from your face.

“How’d you sleep love?”

“You mean before you shook my entire house at the crack of dawn? Very well, you’re quite comfortable”

“Am I?”

You smile, shifting your arms to wrap around him, letting the blanket draped on you fall to the floor, he snakes a hand behind your head, tugging it against his chest as he lifts his mask slightly, planting a kiss on the crown of your head.

“How long is this gonna take?”

“Shouldn’t be more than two days”

“You understand this is my only washroom”

“I know”

“And I use it”

“Mhm”

“Please don’t destroy it”

“Wouldn’t dream of it”

You peak your head around him, getting a full glance at the room, it’s a complete mess, tools and dust everywhere, fallen tiles scattering the floor.

“Oh my god”

He pulls back, following your line of sight, “It’s not that bad”

“Not that bad, Simon, be serious”

“You still have the bathtub”

You huff, your forehead falling into his chest, “Just, promise me you know what you’re doing”

He scrunches his face under his mask, “I know what I’m doing” Running his hands up your arms, lying.

“Okay, I’m trusting you”

“Go get some tea love, I’ll take a break soon”

You lift your head from him, gazing up at his masked face before turning around, picking up your fallen blanket and making your way to the kitchen, jolting at the sudden clanging from a wall away and silently praying he wouldn’t destroy your entire washroom.

It’s takes him a few hours before the banging stops, your hearing feeling like it was permanently damaged from the consistent noise as Simon emerges, completely covered in dust.

You bite back the smile that pulls on your lips as you watch him saunter in, reaching for a mug and pouring himself a cup of tea before dramatically huffing a breath while he sits down.

“Done yet?”

He chuckles lightly, shaking his head, “Done taking the old tile down”

“Seems like it took all your energy old man”

“Old man?”

You laugh lightly into your tea,

“Believe me love, I’ve got energy to spare” He smirks under his mask as you choke into your tea, drops of the liquid spurting from the mug as your cheeks flush.

You clear your throat, tilting your head lightly “Wanna use some of it to help me in the garden?”

“Give me five minutes”

You smile, standing from your chair and walking beside him, placing a hand to his shoulder and dragging it along the skin as you walk away.

It takes him more than 5 minutes to meet you, more interested in watching you move around the land whilst sipping his tea, the privacy granting him the opportunity to drink properly without the hindrance of his mask, he made a mental note to buy you proper tea considering the stuff you had tasted like wet dirt to him.

By the time he found you in the garden he had changed his clothes, opting for a more comfortable t-shirt and jeans, the man looked damn good, his arms flexing under the thin cloth that allowed you perfect sight of the ink on his arm.

“Must be hot with that mask on all the time”

“M’not gonna take it off” He groans, standing behind you to wrap his arms around your waist, he leans in to your ear “Yet”

You bite you lower lip as the thoughts flash through your mind, really you didn’t mean the words in a teasing way, more of an observation but now all you could think about was what he looked like. You knew his eyes were dark and his lips were full and pink, that his jaw was muscular and stubbled, from the few angles he granted you, you could tell he had scars on his face, specifically one that spanned his chin going down and another that cut through his left eyebrow.

It was enough, the small glimpses of him, the mystery intriguing but now there was a desire to know him under the mask, how he looked alongside who he was.

“Okay” You break yourself from your thought,la, pulling his arms from you and turning around, “I need you to help me plant these”

“Yes ma’am”

You hand him a small shovel, kneeling in the dirt, “So dig a small hole here, and then just put the pods in and cover them”

“Seems simple enough”

“So you won’t mess up?”

“I didn’t say that”

You smile, “Just do your best, need these to eat”

You watch him struggle to choose spots to dig, clearly overthinking his moves as he twists his body, reaching across the beds.

You shake your head, patting down the dirt in front of you at you settle one of the plants, untangling the vines and sitting back, wiping your hand across your forehead.

“Just plant it Si”

He whips his head to you, his eyes glued to your face in a panicked manner, it makes you uneasy,

“You okay?”

You slowly reach a hand down to rest on top of his, watching his reaction,

“Yeah fine” He shakes his head, “No one’s called me that in a long time, took me by surprise”

“Oh, m’sorry it just slipped out”

“No, I like it, sounds nice coming from you”

“Oh” You turn your gaze down, how did he always manage to make you so nervous, his hand meets your jaw, moving your gaze up to him as he holds you, his other thumb moving to swipe across your forehead.

“Got somethin”

He shows his palm, a smear of dirt on it as you realize, using your own hand to wipe it, you glance down at your body, stains of grass and soil covering you as you laugh.

“You’re filthy”

“You’re no better” You joke, gesturing to the clumps of spilt soil on his lap,

“Could probably use a shower”

“You think you’re so funny”

“Sometimes yeah”

You huff, grabbing a small handful of soil and tossing it at him, he closes his eyes for a moment, “Seriously”

You can’t fight the laughter that erupts from you, the dirt sticking to his sweat covered skin as he looks at you.

You yelp as he pounced on you, throwing your body back into the dirt as he hovers over your frame, his fingers tickling at your sides as you writhe under him.

“Say you’re sorry”

“Will not” You manage through laughs

His fingers poke at your skin, smearing the dirt from his arms onto your clothes in the process,

“Please, can’t breath”

He leans back with a smile, watching your heavy breaths raise your chest as your arms fall to the ground.

“Apologize”

“I’m-“

You’re sentence is cut short as you hear a car pull up, it’s door slamming shut, Simon jumps from you in full fight mode, extending an arm back to keep you guarded as a man exits the vehicle.

You squint your eyes at him, pushing Simons arm down gently as you recognize the person.

“William?”

“Hey doll”

Simon looks between you and the man, a sudden fire burning under his skin at the pet name, he stands back slightly as you approach him.

“What are you doing here?”

“Who’s this?”

You glance at Simon, giving him a small smile before turning back, “A friend”

The term feels like a punch to his chest.

“Pleasure” William extends a hand to Simon who neglects to shake it, eyeing the smaller man’s frame before turning back to you.

“What do you want”

“Came to drop something off, or someone rather”

He walks toward the car, opening the back door quickly as you watch a furry mass sprint toward you, gasping as you kneel down to meet it.

He licks your face as you scrunch it, running your hands over his fur, laughing as he prances around you before he catches Simons scent.

Simon watches the animal intently, studying it’s moves, as it approaches him quickly, jumping to his chest, licking his arms.

“He missed you, and I’m moving”

You tilt your head to him, “Moving?”

“Going to Spain, my mums sick”

“Will I’m so sorry”

“S’alright, just figured Riley needed a better place to stay”

“Yeah of course, thank you”

“We’ll I’ll get out of your hair, seems your busy, it was nice meeting you Simon”

Ghost is at a loss for words, he simply nods toward the man, his gaze focused on Riley.

“Seems he likes you”

“Where’d you get this dog” His tone is serious

“We adopted him when Will and I were together, he’s a retired-“

“Spec ops dog”

“Yeah? How’d you know”

“This is my dog”

“Simon what are you talking about?”

“I work in the military, that’s my job”

“And Riley was yours?”

“For a few years yeah, last they told me he’d retired in the states”

“They didn’t let you keep him?”

“Not protocol, I’m not home much”

“Home” The word triggers something in your mind, he’s not home, this isn’t his house, you’d been so caught up in being around him you’d completely forgot that he has a life outside yours.

Simons eyes crinkle as he plays with the dog, rough housing with him as they roll in the dirt, “We should get inside, looks like rain”

“Be in, in a minute love”

You walk slowly toward the house, resting your back against the front door and shutting your eyes, why hadn’t you thought about him leaving, there were people relying on him, it’s not like he could stay forever.

Even with the anxiety in your chest, your heart swells at the sight of Simon playing with Riley, even in the short time you’d known him, you’d never seen him this comfortable, he was so happy.

You glance at your arms, caked in dirt and sweat, deciding you needed to wash off. Stumbling over the mess of the washroom to turn on the bath, closing your eyes as you sink into the warm water.

Losing track of time in the water you notice your skin had grown wrinkled, scrubbing off the last bits of dirt and stepping out, wrapping a towel around your body and carefully navigating around the room.

Apparently during your alone time, Simon and Riley had moved their fun into the house, moving around the rooms together as they settled in.

You open the door, bumping directly into Simons chest, your nerves jumping as you collide. In a panic your towel falls,

“Sorry I didn’t see you” He struggles to get the last words out, his eyes roaming your naked form as you quickly move to cover yourself,

“Oh my god!” You reach for your towel but Riley runs over, grabbing it with his teeth and running away, “Riley! No, not a toy!”

Your cheeks flush with heat as you glance up, Simons eyes glued to you, your own eyes blown wide as you scurry away, slamming your bedroom door shut.

“Hey, wait” He follows you, leaning against your door as you drop your head to your hands on the other side.

“Please, go away”

“C’mon, it wasn’t that bad”

“You saw my whole body”

“Lucky me”

“Simon” You laugh,

“It was bound to happen at some point”

“Well these are awful circumstances”

He moves the door open slightly, his eyes on your face as you hide behind the wood, face flush, he smiles, reaching to lift his mask slightly as he leans in, capturing your lips in a kiss.

“You’re so beautiful”

You take a deep breath, smiling against his lips before shoving him back and closing the door. He sits down, back resting against the door as you shuffle around in your room, quickly throwing on clothes.

“I’m serious, the most perfect girl i’ve ever seen, honestly just can’t believe it took this long for you to get naked”

You open the door quickly, his body falling backwards onto the ground, wincing lightly as he laughs, his eyes opening to see you standing above him.

“You’re very cocky, has anyone ever told you that?”

“Actually yeah”

Shaking your head you step over him, making your way to the kitchen, Riley following closely behind you.

Simon appears in the door frame, watching you pull food from the fridge, tossing items into pots and onto the cutting board.

“You hungry?” Twisting your head over your shoulder,

“Starved”

He rests an arm above his head against the frame, watching you cook, his hand extended down to pet Riley, this was perfect, the life he never knew he wanted, he had you and his dog and goliath his own little family.

He gives you some space to work, settling on the couch while Riley rests at his feet, seemingly tired out from the day. He reaches for the small tray of electronics on the table, toying with his comms for a moment before piecing it together finally, clipping in the missing cord.

There’s a massive weight on his shoulders, he knows what he has to do, he has a team waiting on him, a family, less conventional yes, but a family none the less, the team were his brothers, he had to get in contact.

He grabs his comm, tucking it to his ear before moving into the bedroom, closing the door so you couldn’t hear.

“Bravo Delta, this is Ghost”

He waits a few minutes before repeating himself, double checking his channel, those few minutes make his heart sink lower, either no one was there and his team had forgotten him, or his comms really were destroyed, and he could stay with you.

“Ghost?”

“Captain, good to hear your voice”

“Christ Son, we thought you’d died”

“Not yet Sir, just a little misplaced”

“Send your coordinates, we’ll get you evac”

“Negative Sir, I’ve got hostiles in the city near”

“Can you get out? We need you on base”

“How much time can you give me?”

He hears Price take a deep breath, murmuring to someone else in the room, “Three days Simon, then I’m sending everyone I have to get you”

“Copy, see you in three days”

“Be careful”

The line goes dead, Simons worries surfacing, he had three days, he didn’t want to face the idea of leaving you let alone how you’d react when he told you, he’d finally gotten his family, he wouldn’t give it up this easy.

YOUR DAILY ROUTINE 5 YEARS FROM NOW

This is a general reading based on a collective of people. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. If you don’t feel like the pile resonates with you, don’t be scared to pick another, if it still doesn’t feel right, that’s ok! Maybe our energies aren’t as connected and my readings are not for you.

I do these strictly for fun and educational purposes. I do not charge for these readings, and I do not fake readings. I would tell you the cards I get for the readings, but I pull like 15-20 cards each reading and that is just slightly a strenuous task to write them all down lmao.

PICK A CARD READING

I asked my spirit guides what your daily routine looks like in 5 years time, pick a card to find out what they had to say!

Pile 1 ———> Pile 2 ———> Pile 3

DISCLAIMER: the timelines I give are not the period as a whole, they are just an estimate of the time when these events could happen.

PILE 1

7:00-7:30am: Wake up, I got the lyric “7am the usual morning line up” from “When will my life begin?” Rapunzel, so you guys are waking up early. The first thing you do is either feed your pets or children, I’m getting heavy dogs for those of you who don’t have kids by this time, but I am seeing a lot of children vibes.

8:00-900am: Showering and getting ready, if you have kids, your partner will be up and looking after them for you, or this will be the time you take them to school. I feel like you’ll be listening to podcasts or ted talks every morning to get you ready for the day.

9:30-10:00am: Checking emails? You might be working from home and checking your emails or messages from clients or employers. I see you sat at your desk with a warm cup of something, going through things on your computer, your partner walks in and lets you know that they’re leaving for work now.

10:30-11:30am: Work work work, you guys will find yourself dealing with a lot of work during this time, however I do think that you make money by the hour, some of you could have a job that ensures you get paid separately by each client (like Tarot or something)

12:00-1:00pm: Making lunch for your partner, you guys will either go out to buy it and then drop it by their work, or you will make it yourself so that it feels special. Some of you could be seen as the “trophy spouse” when it comes to your partners work, they all think you’re a doll and are probably jealous of the food that you bring for your partner.

1:30-2:00pm: You can do whatever you want, this is your break time to go shopping or chill on the couch and watch your favourite show, I see that this changes often so you may like to do different things during this break, it’s not something that is set in stone forever.

2:00-3:00pm: Back to work, I feel this is when you do your best and most progressive work, some of you may be balancing another online job like authoring or possibly being a ghost writer for someone else. This is the time when you would absolutely hate to be distracted or interrupted.

3:00:3:30pm: Your final time to rest up before having to pick up the kids or take your dogs on a walk. During this time you might make yourself a snack, tidy the house (although I feel like you guys have a cleaner)

3:30-4:00pm: Little bit of a messy thirty minutes, you’re rushing around, which is why I think kids could be involved here, the school pick up is never easy lmao. For those of you who don’t have kids, this may just be you being dragged around the street by your dogs (I think they are large)

4:30-5:00pm: Your partner is home! You are also probably dealing with your children fighting during this time LMAOO, one of them wants the TV remote and the other is pissed. This could also be your time to catch up with your partner and tell each other about your day.

5:00-6:00pm: Dinner time, I do think you’ll be the one making dinner, but you definitely want to, sometimes your partner helps you out, but since you did the school run both ways, they’re looking after the kids for you now. You spend a while on cooking, you may even get it prepared around lunch time, throwing some meat in the slow cooker for later.

6:00-7:00pm: wind down time with family, chilling on the couch with the pets, watching as the kids play on the trampoline outside, relaxing in the arms of your significant other. Very calm energy for this.

7:30pm-9:30pm: The battle of the demons, time to put the kids to bed! The kids don’t like going to bed. “But I went to sleep yesterday!” You’ll have a field trip with these.

10:00pm-12:00am: You wanna get spicy with your partner? You can, here’s your opportunity. I do see you guys trying to make another kid around this time if you already have them, or perhaps this is your first. Relaxing in bed with your significant other, I’m seeing someone counting 100 dollar bills, so take that as you will, you may even take a shower together to end the night, or possibly getting wet in other ways is your way to close the day.

PILE 2

5:00-6:00am: Wake up. You guys may have to commute to work, and need to wake up early, for some of you, your work could be over seas, like if you lived in Paris but commuted to London for work everyday using the tunnel, or if you lived on the Isle Of White in the UK and needed to travel on a ferry to get to your job, either way, you’re waking up before the sun rises.

7:00-9:00am: Work, you’re at work for the majority of the day now, your job itself seems something that you’re used to and like doing, a lot of you may have to coordinate meetings, so you could be a higher up. There does seem to be a tad of stress here and there, for a few this may be caused by need of public speaking, for others there could be workplace drama.

10:00am-4:00pm: The people around you look up to you a lot, you may own a company or share management of it, there is a possibility of you working in something which involves fighting, a few of you may be in the army, and this could be the cause for the early wake up and start to the day. Either way, whatever you’re doing, you are the head of it, people have to work with you in order to climb the ranks and better improve their chance of success. You could honestly be in control of pay upgrades and promotions for your business or workplace. I see you making a lot of money by having a lot of control.

5:00-6:00pm: Home time, I see you making dinner or possibly even ordering out, although I do think that you have a healthy diet and lifestyle. A few of you could have your own cook, or utilise certain artificial intelligence that makes food??? (I don’t know bro, my guides seem to think that could be a thing of the future, you could have an online recipe book that you follow)

7:30-10:00pm: Resting up or doing whatever you want. I can’t get a strong read on this as I think it changes each day, you could sometimes go on a run, other time you’re baking cookies on call with your mother. I do think you have a strict schedule you follow when it becomes time to go to bed, you sleep like a log lmao. Some of you may be looking for a relationship at this time, and this could be the entry period for going on dates, perhaps you go on multiple dates a night lol, you seem to be the life of the party either way. A lot of you don’t drink, I see someone at a bar holding a juice box so take that as you will.

Sorry it was so short pile 2! Your day is much more put together and scheduled.

PILE 3

4:00-9:00am: If you have a young baby at this time, you may immediately go to nursing them as soon as you wake up, it honestly could even be that you’ve woken up early morning, your partner comes over to your side of the bed holding the baby, hands it to you. I do see a lot of stress around this time, so honestly I think the majority, if not all of you will have kids in five years time.

7:00-9:00am: I see you spending this time laying in your bed with your partner, possibly the kids have joined you now and you’re all just relaxing watching some TV for the few hours that you have until the morning begins and you need to get up and ready. For the few of you who may not be in a relationship or have kids, this could be a pet perhaps that you are spending the early morning with.

8:00-10:00am: You’re getting out of bed around this time and heading to the kitchen to get some breakfast started, you may have time to take a quick shower around this time, your partner will be looking after the kids, getting them all ready for the day so they can come and eat breakfast in time when it’s made.

8:30-9:00am: Some big change happens around this time, it may be that the kids are taken to school, or you perhaps take them to school. I’m seeing that this is the moment you begin your work for the day, I’m not too sure if you leave the house for it, I think so, as it does seem that there’s a change of scenery.

10:00am-12:00pm: This time is spent getting everything together for your job, I am seeing someone grabbing some coffee, if you work a corporate job, you’ll be getting yourself and some other people some coffee, collecting papers to make sure all your paperwork is complete. Some of you could be a therapist, psychologist or something to do with examining people, this is when you grab all your stuff to prepare for your clients, possible meetings etc.

12:00-1:00pm: A lot of teamwork around this time, this will be your first meeting of the day, first client, first job that you are supposed to complete. I see a need to write down a lot of stuff, you may even have a meeting presentation during this hour. Your lunch time may appear late, you perhaps have a job that runs over the normal lunch hour, so you go on your break in the next 1-2 hours.

2:00-3:00pm: Lunch time, I feel like you will leave your work building to go and buy lunch elsewhere, or perhaps your partner will bring you lunch themself, you might even order it into your section. You could be getting paid this time everyday, or you may count up your money for the day at this point.

3:30-4:00pm: You get to decide what you do here, I think sometimes you get the opportunity to go home at this time, other days you have to stay a little later, I think it depends on your schedule and the day of the week.

5:00-6:00pm: You get home during this period, I see there possibly being some time for you to relax and so what you want, before your partner and kids come home, some of you may have family around at this time each day? Or perhaps you live with extended family members and they will be making dinner for you, or getting some things done.

7:00pm-12:00am: A lot of you honestly could have family helping around the house, or perhaps you even have personal butlers, I don’t see you having to do much when it comes to making dinner, getting the kids to bed or anything, I see that you’ll be working hard on some paperwork that needs finishing, or getting your schedule ready for tomorrow, you’ll mainly be focusing on your work during this period too, I feel like you like to be prepared. You may get intimate with your partner during this time, I don’t see it lasting for too long as I think they go to bed earlier than you.

childhood friend! Shinichiro who matures quite significantly by the end of highschool, no longer asking out girls at school anymore much to your surprise

"Woah, look at you."

"Hm??"

"It's been months since you last asked out some random girl. What happened to the women obsessed Shinichiro I know?"

"Shut up, it was just a phase. Besides, you made me open my eyes in a way."

"How so?"

"I guess... I'm just waiting to ask the right person out now."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who invites you to witness the disbandment of the first generation of Black Dragons, despite you not being associated with his gang at all

"Why do you even want me to go? The people I know are only just going to be Takeomi, Waka and Benkei."

"Because I want you to be there. Is there any better reason other than that?"

"I suppose not..."

"And maybe it's also the fact that I need someone to watch over Manjiro haha..."

"I knew it."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who gets upset frustrated when you chose to ride with Takeomi instead of him on the day of the final gathering (he couldn't complain about it to you though, you made a fair point)

"Hey come on! Why are you going to ride with him? Takeomi's a worse rider than me y'know."

T- "Fuck off Shin. You don't worry about me stealing your girl from ya'."

"But you are a reckless rider-"

"Come on Shin, you can't expect me, you and Manjiro to be able to sit in one bike, can you? One of us is surely gonna fall off. I'll be fine with Take-chan, okay?"

"Fine..." (He was not fine with it)

childhood friend! Shinichiro who you make fun of when he comes over to you after the disbandment of the first generation of Black Dragons bawling his eyes out (you were prepared for this outcome)

"Glad to know you're still the same crybaby Shin I know."

M- "Haha! I'm gonna tell Emma you're such a crybaby."

"Cut it out you two! This—sniffs—is a special moment...!"

"You're lucky I brought tissues to wipe your tears away."

"I can't believe you know me that well."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who gets used to you coming over to the Sano household unnanounced whenever you pleased, not that anyone minded, since they all loved your presence

"Emma, be a dear and wake up Shin? Smack him if you have to."

E- "Okay!!"

"Woah, woah, there's no need to smack any—yawn—one. And why are you here?"

"Emma wanted me to teach her a new recipe to make for breakfast. So here I am!"

"And you decided to come over this early??"

"It's 7am Shin. Besides, don't act like you don't like seeing my pretty face the first thing in the morning~"

"Shut up." (Spoiler, he does)

childhood friend! Shinichiro whom you never grow apart from even after highschool, and you both started going on different paths, him opening up a motor bike shop while you started going to college and applied for a part time job as a cashier near the vicinity

"Wait, the shop you're working at is the one down the street, right? Just a few blocks away from my shop?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Great, looks like I can go say hi to you whenever I want."

"Don't you dare do something stupid to get me fired, Shin."

"No promises, ma'am."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who after miserably failing 5 times asks you for your help to bake a cake for Emma's birthday

"And what is this supposed to be?"

"Clearly, it's supposed to be Ariel, y'know, the princess mermaid??"

"That's your best attempt at making an ariel themed cake?? Now I know why you were begging for me to come over when you called me."

"I blame it on Manjiro for ruining the frosting."

M- "Hey! It was you who ruined it."

"So not true."

"I think the both of you should just shut up and help clean up this mess first."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who's gotten used to his siblings asking him where you were whenever you weren't seen with him and getting teased about it

E- "Neh, Shin-nii, where's [name]?"

"Probably stuck in another class, why do you ask?"

E- "I miss her."

M- "Idiot, we already saw her this morning."

E- "Hey! Don't act like you don't want her to come and play with us too!"

"Seriously you two, sometimes I wonder if I'm your older sibling at this point, with how much you ask for her."

M- "Shinchiro, we all know you love her as much as we do, maybe even more~"

"Shut your mouth Manjiro 💢"

childhood friend! Shinichiro who always shows up to your workplace when your shift is almost going to be over, always claiming that he was hungry and wanted to buy something, when in reality, he's there to send you home

"So..."

"And what the hell could you possibly want from this humble store, Shin?"

"Woah, woah! Can't a customer walk around the store to see what they want to get?"

"The last time you were here you knocked down a stack of cans on display, the manager almost reduced my paycheck because of that."

"In my defence, I didn't see the stack of cans."

"Suree you didn't."

"Hey, come on now! You know I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize your job.. on purpose at least...."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. Now, would you be so kind to get me a pack of cigarettes, y'know, for a very dear friend of yours?"

"The only think you'll be getting from me is a pack of gum, rotten breath."

"Rude... now come on, when does this shift of yours end anyways? Let's get dinner on the way back."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who becomes your gossip and vent buddy whenever he sends you home after your shift, with him hanging onto every word you say, and hating on whoever you hate even if he doesn't know who the hell they are

"Argh, goddamnit, won't she just give me a break already?"

"Who? Wait—no, let me guess. Is it that girl from your econs class? What's her name again? Ka—Ka something..."

"Kazumi. Wow, didn't think you'd actually remember, well somewhat remember at least."

"With how much you complain about her, who wouldn't? But let me guess what she did to aggravate you this time."

"Go on. No guarantee that there'll be a prize for that though."

"She ditched a group project discussion again? Or she claims she's too busy to complete her part of the project when in reality she's going on parties and all that?"

"Mix of both actually, so congrats! No prize for you though."

"Aww. And here I thought you'll reward me for being a good friend."

"Argh, I should ask Takeomi or Benkei to intimidate her into actually taking this group project seriously or something..."

"Why ask them when you have your number one ride or die partner next to you to do so?"

"What'll you do? Intimidate her with the 20 rejections you've gotten? Pfft, she might even make that 20 become 21 before you intimidate her."

"I thought we swore to never talk about that ever again 💢"

childhood friend! Shinichiro who's grateful to you for bringing him his lunch to his shop whenever he leaves it at home and enjoys groans whenever you nag to him about the importance of not skipping any meals

"Guess some things will never change, huh?"

"Huh? Oh, is that my lunch?"

"No, no, it's my supper."

"Ha. Ha. Very funny [name]."

"I deserve more credit for making sure you don't skip your meals."

"Is that so? Would you like me to get on my knees and thank you? I can certainly do that."

"You and your cheesy lines... when will you learn to remember to bring your own lunch to work? You're pulling off the same shit you did back when we were in highschool."

"Maybe I just like your meals better than mine..."

"...??!... That... That still isn't an excuse for you to not bring along something to eat, dumbass. What would you do if I decide not to check in on you, hm?"

"Probably starve to dea-"

-smacks his head-

"Oww??? Alright, alright, sorry I guess, 'mom'. I won't purposely skip my meals ever again..."

"Good... next time, just... ask if you want me to cook extra for you."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who notes how you start to stand one arm's length away from him whenever you're with him, and when he asks you about it, becomes visibly distraught to hear you say he reeks of cigarette smoke

"Hey... why're you standing so far away from me? Don't tell me you came over to my shop just to see me work from a distance now.."

"You just stink, that's all."

"What??!? I definitely don't stink. I took a shower this morning, and I'm not covered in grease or anything..!!"

"It's that smokey smell that's always lingering around you. Y'know, because you like to smoke every now and then.."

"Huhh?!? What're you saying!!"

"Don't tell me you don't reek of cigarettes Shin. It's blatantly obvious, I can probably even smell you from a mile away like this."

"WHAT?!? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS EARLIER???"

"Because I didn't want you to make you self-conscious, stupid! Besides, it's not like I can force you to stop smoking or anything.."

childhood friend! Shinichiro who slowly stops smoking as much as he used to, especially around you so that you wouldn't be disturbed by his smell and stay close to him

"Huh?"

"What is it?"

"Eh... it's nothing important."

"Oh come on, you clearly have something to say. Cat got your tongue or something? Taken aback by my good looks?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say. You just... smell different, that's all."

"Is smell all you care about? What are you, a dog?"

"Fuck you."

"Yes please."

"Wha-?!?!"

"I'm joking." (He wasn't really)

"And I probably smell good because I put on this new cologne I got."

"Pfft, to mask off the fact that you're a smoke addict?"

"Hey! Might I inform you that I haven't picked up a cigarette for the past two weeks now."

"Really? Wow, I'm surprised. What made you stop?"

"You. Well, more precisely, you avoiding to get close to me because I stink."

"...?!?" (You were speechless and flustered)

childhood friend! Shinichiro who gets jealous upset when his friends flirt with you right in front of his face, not knowing that they're doing this to get him riled up enough and grow balls to finally confess to you

T: "Say, [name], you got a boyfriend or anything?"

"..?!?! Wha- Why're you asking her that-"

T: "What? Can't a man be curious? Besides, no boyfriend would be pleased if their girlfriend is hanging out with her 'guy' friend and his siblings 24/7."

"Very funny Take-chan. If that's your logic, then I believe you already have your answer."

B: "That's suprising. I was sure a pretty girl like you would have many guys chasing for you."

"...! I'm flattered, Keizo-kun. But I doubt that's the case, haha."

"Oi, you guys, stop bugging her like this..."

T: "Ya'know, I'm pretty sure most girls like strong guys, right? Shin's pretty weak to stay by your side."

"Oi-"

T: "But, he makes it up with his charm and caring side, so I guess you have it good [name]."

W: "Well, that's Shin-chan for ya, so you don't have to worry about him not treating you right, [name]. But if he doesn't, you cant count on us to beat him up for you."

"I.... wow, okay...?"

"?!? Oi, you guys!!? Now you're scaring me!!"

childhood friend! Shinichiro who confronts you one day, telling you all about how his friends and family keep on teasing him about how you and him should date and how he also really liked the idea of that

"Hahaha! Really? Manjiro did that?? I can't believe I missed that!"

"It's painful y'know! Can't believe he's only 12 years old and pulling off roundhouse kicks like that. And to my face too!"

"Well, what'd you do this time?"

"Wha-?!? I can't believe you're so quick to take his side. Both you and Emma."

"What can I say? Both him and Emma are my favourite Sanos after all."

"Gasp After all these years, you're choosing them over me?!? I'm disappointed, [name]. I thought you knew better 😔"

"Cry about it then."

"Mean..."

"But he must have a reason for doing that to you though, right?"

"I mean... it's kind of stupid, really."

"Oh? Do tell whatever the reason for the 'invincible Mikey' to roundhouse kick you. And for Emma to take his side on the matter."

"Ah... they're just mad that I apparently haven't made you my girlfriend yet."

"Huh??"

"I know, stupid, isn't it? They both have been bugging me about this for years now, claiming that they 'want you to be their actual sister'. What's worse is that gramps has the same sentiment as them too."

"Seriously? Sano-sensei as well?"

"Yup. He says he doesn't mind having you as his "granddaughter-in-law" and that you're the only person I ever truly listen to. Bullshit by the way."

"Is it it really though?"

"That's not the point. Hell, even the guys are teasing me for not making it official with you yet. Bugging me about it whenever we hangout, saying that if I don't act soon, they'll steal you away from me."

"I-.... wow... I guess that explains what happened the last time we hung out."

"Yeah, sorry if their words bothered you."

"No, no it's fine. But I'm just wondering... what do you think about all this?"

"Huh?"

"Like.... with everyone bugging you, and well me about this, what are your thoughts on us dating?"

"...?!?... I guess.... I don't mind that..."

"Really? I'm glad then."

"Huh? What do you mean."

"I guess I don't mind us dating as well."

".....Wait..., so are you saying I can be your boyfriend?!?! Really?!?"

"Yes! I'm saying you can be my boyfriend, and I can be your girlfriend, idiot."

"I'm actually so happy right now I could literally kiss you."

"Then do it, Shin. Who's gonna stop you?"

a/n: i love him so much oml, thinking about writing longer fics about some of these scenarios

good morning! 𐙚๋࣭⭑⋅˚♡.

𓏲. i dont think people quite understand the importance of having a good morning routine. how we spend our morning sets the tone for the day and its a very important, peaceful, underrated & overlooked part of life i think we should appreciate more !!💕

──★ ˙ ̟🎀 the importance of a good morning

gives a sense of control

sets the mood for the day

develops healthy habits

boosts productivity and energy levels

helps to manage work & schedules

improves memory and focus

...anddd much much more. i love love love mornings so maybe i'm a liittle biased but they're so overhated & have so many positive benefits we should def make use of!

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ 1. gratitude

idk if its just me but waking up early and prioritising my mornings makes me a lot a lot more grateful for everything i have in my life. appreciate just how lucky we are to be able to even have a bed to wake up in in the morning. be so grateful for being able to see the sunlight through your window and being able to see another day. its a luxury, privilege and blessing to be alive.

🎀𓂃 ࣪˖ 2. dress up!

getting ready is always my FAVOURITE part of the morning. "but im not going anywhere" "im just going to school" "theres no point" no. idc. why do you have to have a reason? why cant you just do it for yourself? when i look cute i feel cute & when i feel cute i feel good. dress up do ur hair do ur makeup (if u wear it) ! look good -> feel good. 💖

(and if u wear school uniform, im making a post with info on how to still look cute w/ uniform soon!<3🩷💕)

🐧𓂃 ࣪˖ 3. time management

set the perfect time for you. that revolves around the time it takes you to get ready, to travel to your destination, etc. and set that back by 30 minutes. so for example say said time would be 7am -> you'd then change that to 6:30. that way youve got the extra time to just focus on yourself and sort out your day, choose what youre wearing, eat a lovely breakfast, drink something yummy, exercise, pilates, tidy up, etc. ♡

🩰𓂃 ࣪˖ 4. romanticism & enjoyment

id say this goes hand in hand with time management but make it so that you aren't rushing and stressing in the morning. enjoying the little things makes life as a whole so much more enjoyable. mornings often set the tone for the day, so if you have a calm and gentle morning, youre more likely to have a good day! ♡

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ 5. clear mind

the third sibling of time management & romanticism is definitely being able to go into the day with a clear head. dumping down all your emotions in a journal, in your notes, whatever you use & having your day clearly planned out is a massive motivator for me. i use notion since im more of a visual learner and enjoy having things laid out pretty and neat in front of me but it can be anything you like! (notes, paper, journal, etc.) this ensures you go into the day without a ton of thoughts and worries weighing on your head already before you even start.

so maybe im a little biased because i really love mornings but think about it. feeling the sun through your window in the early dawn, watching it rise and listening to the birds, having some downtime to clear your mind and just be free for a little while before chaos of life begins again. i love you and wish you the best in all you do today 🫶🩷💕

all my love 🫶🩷🎀

home surprise

jack was on his was back, he was finally done with tour and was exhausted, he had been working so hard and you could tell from phone daily phone calls he wasn’t getting all the sleep he needed.

“jack baby please rest before you come home” jack sighed and looked at you through the phone, his dark eye bags showing heavy “baby, i have been getting 4 hours a sleep” “jack! your saying that like it’s a good thing you need more rest! when you come home your going straight to bed!” “not before i fuck you” “yes before you fuck me! i need you to be rested up!” “fine baby, im about to start packing and ready for bed, i loveeeee youuu” “i love you so much more! now get some rest!” “i love you more tho” “jackman dont start.” “yes ma’am, and you better be sleep when i get there!” “of course baby”

you hung up the phone, of course you weren’t going to sleep you immediately went downstairs and cleaned it a up then started taking out the meat to defrost for jacks favorite meal then going to the living room to get snacks ready and movies planned out.

of course jack would get all this after he rested or he would quite literally pass out from exhaustion.

you checked the time 1:30am, jack would be back around 7am.

jack knew new you usually woke up around 8 or 9 so he wanted to make sure you were sleep to surprise you by you waking up to him.

you were going to wake up at 5:45am just to make sure jacks food was nice and ready for when he got back.

you set an alarm for 5:30am and fell asleep.

once it hit 5:30 you alarm went off waking you. you quickly got up and showered, brushed you teeth and started makings jacks food.

it was a quick easy mean so you were done by 6:48 jack had landed around 6:48 and would be here around 6:50 or 7:00 so you started putting the food on his and urban’s plate and placing them into the microwave.

when 7:05 hit you heard keys jingle so you quickly took the food out checking to see if it was still hot and they were so you placed it down in front the two chairs where jack and urban usually sat and got some forks for them.

“hi boys!” you gave urban a hug then went to hug and kiss jack.

“baby i told you to be sleep when i got here.” “i know but i made your favorite meal!” “did you even sleep baby?” “yes j, eat please!”

urban and jack sat down and started eating while you started cleaning up the rest of your mess.

“baby your not eating?” “uhmm not right now” “mk” once jack finished you took his plate for him and washed it and once urban was done you washed his to.

while you were finishing up the dishes jack came up behind you and rubbing on your lower thighs kissing your neck

“mm jack” “baby you can clean up later, lets go lay down hmm?” “im almost done, and i told you no sex till you sleep for at least, 7 hours. minimum!” “ baby.. i haven’t seen you in monthsss i miss you” “and i miss you to baby but where not having sex right now, ill be in the bedroom soon to help you unpack” “finee”

jack slowly walked up the stairs waiting for you to change your mind, but of course you didn’t.

once you went upstairs you seen jack unpacking.

“you need help baby boy?” “yes babe!”

you finished helped jack unpack and he went to go shower while you got his sweatpants out since that was all he liked to wear for bed anyway.

once jack got out he quickly put on his pants and laid down next to you.

“i missed you baby” you started playing in his damp hair and kissing his forehead “miss you so much” jack responded in soft snores. he was face first in your boobs drooling so you kissed his forehead once more and fell asleep with him.

Can't break the rule!

ʚїɞ Dazai Osamu x Gn!Reader

ʚїɞ Keep in mind English is not my first language, so you may find mistakes!

ʚїɞ word count: 688

ʚїɞ Tw’s: Small mention of suicide because it's Dazai but otherwise just pure fluff, pet names used, reader’s gender is not specified in any way

ʚїɞ This was literally written from 5:30am to nearly 7am and only the ending was added in after I woke up, I want that kind of motivation all the time

Gorgeous.

That's one of the words running through Dazai's head while looking at the sleeping beauty that's currently laying down on his chest, peacefully asleep. He knew that you would surely disagree with his thoughts but he didn't particularly care.

He was also aware of how late he was at this point, and that Kunikida would call him any minute now. He would pick up since that would make it so easy to tease the younger man, but it would also cause the risk of waking you up, which he absolutely didn't want, so he shall settle for messages at most. Kunikida should appreciate that! Dazai would take a big part of the time he could spend looking at his darling’s pretty face to text him back!

And just as he thought, the phone’s screen lit up in the darker room, the curtains still down due to neither of you getting up from bed that day.

‘There it is.’ Dazai lazily reached over to where his phone was lying on the nightstand, before bringing it up to his face to look at the screen, his other hand on your head, fingers gently running through your hair. He let the call go on in silence, the phone being put on mute just after you fell asleep earlier.

‘Finally!’ He thought as the 3rd call in a row ended, and he didn't have to wait long for a text from his work partner to pop up on the top of his screen.

‘YOU GODDAMN WASTE OF BANDAGES!!!’

‘WHERE ARE YOU?! WHAT RIVER WAS IT THIS TIME’

‘I SWEAR I'M GONNA THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW THE MOMENT YOU STEP A FOOT INTO THE AGENCY’

It was exactly what the brunette expected to see. Right now, the blonde was expecting to be told that Dazai had taken another dive into a river or tried another ridiculous suicide attempt. Little did Kunikida know that the brunette did the exact opposite and stayed home.

‘It looks like I won’t be in today, I can't break the rule after all!’

‘Sorry not sorry Kunikida-kun!’

He probably should have written a message to Kunikida that he won't be in like he did with the president, but where would be the fun in that? He’s lucky that he doesn't take too many official days off.

‘What rule are you talking about, you idiot?’

Dazai could have left the conversation where it was at the moment and leave Kunikida to be confused, but he decided he could have more amusement from continuing it.

‘Oh?’

‘Does dear Kunikida not know the important rule? How surprising!’

‘Just spit it out! I already spent more time on you than I should've or planned!’

His darling always told him that he should spare Kunikida from time to time, but he never really listened to that one thing, didn't he?

‘Of course! I can't leave you in the dark about it after all!’

‘Is it really that important?’

‘You will realize just how important it is once you know the rule!’

No, he never listened, and probably never will. Riling Kunikida up is just too entertaining to pass up on.

‘The rule is: If something small and cute falls asleep on you, you shall not move less you want to wake the small thing up’

‘And it just so happened that my darling angel is asleep on me right now, not like a single man like you would know how important that is <3’

‘So no no Kunikida-kun! I can’t get up and go to work, otherwise, I could break the important rule that obviously applies to me as well and I don’t really wanna break it!’

‘Now bye bye!’

‘Wait what?’

‘Dazai?’

‘YOU BASTARD COME BACK HERE’

Dazai knew that his dear colleague would chew him out the next day once he appeared at work since it wasn’t like he would find him at the agency’s dorms that day, like usual at that point. But for now, he had to go back to his previous job, and that was staring at his angel’s face like he was before the blonde’s interruption.

Notes, comments, and reblogs are greatly appreciated

Girl Next Door— Part 4

Previous Part Series Masterlist

Summary: You bake some chocolate chip cookies but you get a little distracted when Joel interrupts you.

Word Count: 2.9k

Content: 18+ MDNI, contains mature content, oral (m and f receiving)

AN: finally some action.. I expect there to be about 3 more parts to this fic. Part 5 should be coming soon, bear with me <3

You woke up to an aching pain in your neck. Your eyes slowly fluttered open, taking a moment to take in the environment you were in. It sure as hell didn’t feel like your bed. You lifted your head slightly, realizing you weren’t home. You’d fallen asleep at some point during the movie the night before, and evidently so did Joel. Joel’s head was slumped over beside you, his chest rising and falling with soft snores escaping his lips. You smiled, letting your head fall back down into his chest to reclaim the warmth emitting from his body.

You were enthralled by the memories of last night, the residual feeling of Joel’s lips against yours playing over and over. You lifted your finger to run it gently over your bottom lip, fighting back a grin and you remembered each and every minute detail. Joel’s coarse hands running up and down your back, his hips rolling against yours. A pulse went through your lower belly, feeling your arousal beginning to throb at your core. You glanced over at the clock hanging from the wall. It was 7am. You had to start working soon, disappointment spawning a frown to replace your smile. You weren’t ready for this moment to end, but you had to get home.

You sat up slowly, dismayed as the loss of warmth from Joel’s skin. You tried your best not to disturb Joel as you stood up from the sofa, adjusting your clothes that had gotten off centered during your makeout session the night before. You’d never seen Joel so peaceful. The furrow that typically taught his brows together was long gone, his eyes relaxed. Not being able to resist, you bent down and placed a gentle kiss to the lines on his forehead. Stirring slightly, Joel’s eyes opened, his eyelids heavy from sleep. He blinked slowly, his eyes brown in the center and bloodshot everywhere else. He groaned as he felt the stiffness in his neck from the uncomfortable position he slept in.

“Hi, baby.” He spoke, his voice thick and gravelly with sleep. He reached out, grabbing your hips and pulling you down onto his lap.

“I’d kiss you but I’m sure my breath is repulsive.” You teased, running your hand through his hair to fix the flyways.

“If yours is repulsive, then mine is probably a biohazard.” Joel countered, gently squeezing your sides.

“I should probably go home and freshen up before I start work.” You said gently, tracing your finger from Joel’s jawline down the course of his neck.

“It’s a shame.” Joel muttered, leaning down and peppering soft kisses to your neck. “Y’always smell so good.”

Joel breathed in the sweet aroma of your perfume, running his hand up to your hair and gently pulling at the strands at the back of your neck.

“I should go because if I stay any longer I’ll be kissing you with my ass breath.” You whispered, pressing a hasty kiss to his cheek before climbing off his lap.

He watched the way your ass jiggled in your thin lounge pants as you stood up and grabbed your wine glass. You glanced back at him with a smile before making your way to the kitchen to rinse out your wine glass to put in the dishwasher. This life felt so natural and homey to you, which was very dangerous. You could get used to mornings like this, but in a few weeks when your father returned home, it would all be forced to be different. As you were rinsing out your wine glass, Joel stepped up behind you, his front pressing to your backside and wrapping his arms wrapping around the soft skin of your belly.

“I need to wake up to this more often.” Joel murmured, pressing a kiss into your hair. You were sure your hair looked crazy from the unusual position you slept in, but Joel didn’t seem to care a bit. Your belly did backflips at the feeling of his body pressed flush against your own, the familiar heat of his skin radiating onto yours. “Wanna kiss you so bad.”

Joel tilted your head over gently with his fingertips, trailing kisses up the side of your neck up to your ear.

“Dunno how am I goin’ to get any work done when I’d rather be kissin’ you instead.” Joel said quietly in your ear, as if there was anyone else present to keep from hearing his words.

“I could say the same.” You responded, turning around, leaning your lower back against the counter. “I’d love to help you today, but after work I have to run to the grocery store. Maybe when I get back I’ll make you dinner this time.”

“Mmmm. Sounds amazing.” Joel hummed. “I might need a nap before I come over, an old man like me isn’t meant to stay up all hours of the night, let alone sleep on the couch like that.”

Joel leaned back and pressed his hands into his lower back to stretch, groaning when it popped loudly. You chuckled, grabbing your tote bag off the counter and throwing it over your shoulder.

“Might need to go to the chiropractor, grandpa.” You joked, dragging your finger up his arm as you walked past him. You ventured over to the DVD player, ejecting Scream from it to put back into its case carefully.

You bent over, Joel came up behind you and patted you on the ass, waiting for you to stand back up straight.

“Grandpa?” He narrowed his eyes on you. You slid the DVD case into your tote bag and gawked up at him.

“You’re lucky I want to take my time with you.” His voice darkened.

“So dramatic.” You whispered, patting him on the cheek, slipping by him to the foyer, sliding on your shoes.

He followed you around like a lost puppy, not letting you out of his sight. He wanted to keep you around and fuck you all day like he was a teenager again, but you both had responsibilities to tend to. The outline of your white lace thong under your thin pants was driving him insane.

“Bye, Joel.” You smirked, pulling your car key out of your tote bag, dangling it off your finger.

“Bye, honey.” He rebutted, stepping closer to you, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

The next few days were spent full of you working your ass off to get your work done early so you could help Joel with the renovations. The materials for the bathroom came in finally, and Joel was able to begin piecing your bathroom together. Despite your pact to take things slowly, Joel and you couldn't resist the occasional kiss snatched between work tasks. The weekend rolled around, and you were finally free to spend the next couple of days with your focus completely on Joel.

It was Friday night, and you were craving something sweet. You decided to bake some chocolate cookies, so you got to work in the kitchen, mixing up the dough. Armed with sugar, flour, and chocolate chips, you made a little bit of a mess, flouring sifting through your fingers. Flour and sugar painted the counter white like a fresh blanket of snow. With your classic rock playlist shuffling on your speaker, you didn’t hear Joel enter through the front door. Your back was turned to the entryway of the kitchen, you humming softly to the song that was playing. Joel crept up behind you, lowering his chin onto your shoulder and snaking his arms around your midsection. His sudden appearance sent a jolt through you, but the surprise quickly melted away as his familiar scent, a comforting blend of woodsy notes and spice, enveloped you.

“Cookies?” Joel asked, observing the messy counter and the bowl of dough in front of you.

“Maybe.” You half smiled, tilting your head to look at him.

With a finger covered in cookie dough, you dragged the sweet substance across the skin of his neck. Raising up on your tiptoes, you lowered your mouth to his neck, lapping up the sweet dough remnants. Joel exhaled softly, leaning his head back and squeezing the supple flesh of your hip. You felt your clit begin to throb at the peak of your folds, squeezing your thighs together at the heat of his touch. You were needy. As much as you loved kissing him, you wanted more; you craved a deeper intimacy with him.

You turned your body, leaning your lower back shins the counter of the island. Your lips trailed up Joel’s lawline, peppering kisses over his beard, then making your goal destination at his lips. You intertwined your hands into the soft hair at the back of his scalp, pulling him closer to you. Joel grunted into your mouth, his hips jutting against yours, craving friction. You felt his hardened erection against your lower belly, firing you up more to want to feel him closer. Joel deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring your mouth. The taste on your tongue was that of sweet vanilla and sugar, mimicking the scent of your perfume that he adored. At that moment, Joel wanted to taste all of you.

Joel grabbed your behind, lifting you up onto the cold surface of the counter of the island, beyond the messy confines of your baking endeavors. With his warm touch, Joel squeezed the smooth skin of your thighs, his hands working gently to pry them apart. The pads of his thumbs massaged gently into your inner thighs as he kissed you passionately, slowly working his way up to where you were craving him the most.

“Do you trust me?” Joel said, pulling away from your lips, his breath fanning over your mouth as he waited for your answer.

You nodded, pulling him in for another brief, but firm kiss. You reached your arms out, grabbing his hips to pull him even closer to you.

“I trust you.” You murmured, kissing him once more.

With your consent as his cue, Joel slipped his fingertips into the waistband of your lounge shorts, toying with the elastic band for a moment before pulling them down the luminous skin of your thighs. Under them was a white lace thong with a pink bow at the peak of your pubic bone. You were wearing an off the shoulder cropped t-shirt with no bra, leaving your cute belly on display for him. He ran his fingertip over the fabric of your thong, gauging your reaction as he traced it further, feeling your folds under. Your arousal was already pooling into the fabric of your thong, sending a jolt of arousal to Joel’s already painfully hard cock. Joel pushed your thong to the side, exposing the pretty flesh of your pussy, your folds shining with your milky arousal. He ran his forefinger through your vulva, collecting your juices before moving up to your clit, working a gentle circle. You exhaled shakily, gripping the edge of the counter with your hands.

“So pretty.” Joel whispered, leaning forward to kiss you, his fingers still circling your sensitive bud. You felt your legs jolting under his touch, the pleasure much more powerful than when you took matters into your own hands.

Joel pulled away from your kiss, and he lifted his free hand to snake under the fabric of your shirt, squeezing the supple flesh of your breast. He lowered his hand to the middle of your tummy, pushing you down to lay back on your elbows. He ghosted kisses over your belly, trailing down to the top of your panties. Removing his finger from your heat momentarily, Joel hooked his fingers under your thong, slowly pulling the material down your legs, then tossing them by your shorts on the floor. Your pussy was on full display for him now, Joel’s brows furrowing at the sight of you glistening for him. You watched as he lowered his face to your core, his eyes flickering up to yours as he tongue flicked out to drag up your folds. His finger followed suit, circling the skin around your opening. Joel’s tongue lapped circles around your clit, taking a moment to suck down on the mound of nerves. You moaned out as Joel sunk his middle finger into your vagina, your head falling back in pleasure. He slowly pumped his finger in and out of you, curling up to graze the bumpy flesh of your g spot. Your mouth fell open at the sensation, your eyes darting down to watch Joel go down on you.

His free left hand wound its way back up to your chest, lifting your shirt to expose your breasts to him. He moaned against your heat, the vibrations sending a shock to your clit. His hand lightly pinched your left nipple, then ghosted over to your right nipple to do the same.

“Fuck.” You exhaled as Joel squeezed your breast, his tongue moving faster against your clit. He added a second finger to your opening, the stretch shooting another wave of pleasure through your lower abdomen. You weren’t going to last much longer.

Your hand shot down to Joel’s hair, pulling at the locks at the apex of his head. Your touch spurred him on to work his fingers and tongue faster, the hair of his beard tickling the skin of your thighs. Joel could feel your walls beginning to clench down around his fingers, more milky arousal seeping from your opening, thoroughly coating his fingers down to the knuckle.

Your orgasm crept up on you slowly, then hit you all at once. Your pussy clamped down around Joel’s fingers, your legs vibrating as the white heat overcame your senses. Your vision was starry, your head tilting back in pure pleasure. Joel slowed his pace, working you down from your high. He kissed your clit, pulling away so as to not overstimulate you. Joel stood up, running his fingers along your sides and then cupped your jaw, pressing a slow kiss to your lips.

“How was that, sweetheart?” Joel asked as your head tilted back up, your vision coming back to you. Your chest heaved lightly. Your body felt weightless and relaxed, you’d never felt better after an orgasm in your life.

“Amazing.” You said breathlessly, a smile toying at your lips.

You glanced down and noticed Joel’s erection bulging out of his sweatpants, and Joel’s gaze followed yours. You reached your hand out, cupping his cock. He exhaled deeply at your touch, his hips rocking forward for more. You looked back up to his eyes, lulling your head head to the side as you ran your fingers along the outline of him.

“Can I?” You asked with no context, but Joel knew exactly what you were asking for.

“Only if you want to. Don’t feel like you have to.” Joel answered, his hand resting on your thigh and squeezing it gently.

“I want to.” You assured him, hopping off the counter, and directing him to lean back against the counter.

You dropped to your knees, your eyes being leveled with his bulge. He leaned against the counter, his knuckles white with his intense grip. You looped your fingers into the waistband of his sweatpants and boxers, pulling them down his thighs to ankles, his erection springing free. His pink tip was sensitive and leaking with precum. He was thick and veiny, and you began to question how you were going to fit all of him in your mouth. You wrapped your hand around his shaft as you ran a stripe with your tongue along a protruding vein from your hand to the ridge of his tip.

“God, baby.” He whined, watching as you took him in your mouth, your eyes locked on his. You bobbed up and down, taking as much of him in your mouth as you could, stroking the rest with your hand.

Joel’s hand dropped to your hair, lacing his fingertips through it. His hips bucked up as your mouth stimulated the sensitive ridge between his shaft and tip, staying there for a moment.

“So pretty with my cock in your mouth.” Joel groaned. You placed your free hand flat against his thigh, gaining leverage to bob your head faster. “Fuck.”

You focused your tongue on his tip, his precum salty against your tastebuds. You moaned on his length, the vibrations furthering his pleasure. Joel felt his thighs beginning to shake, his high coming down on him.

“Just like that, baby.” Joel moaned breathlessly as your hand moved quickly up and down his length. Your other hand came down to cup his balls, sending him over the edge.

Joel whined as he released hot spurts on your tongue, his seed painting the inside of your mouth white. You kept stroking him, milking every last bit of his seed into your mouth. When he was finished, you swallowed, standing up from your knees, running your hands up his sides. Joel grabbed your face in his hands, kissing your hard, the leftover taste from your arousal mixing with his spend on your tongue.

You pulled away breathlessly, your chest rising and falling after your kiss. You glanced over at the cookie dough in the bowl on the counter and laughed softly.

“We should get those cookies in the oven.” You giggled, planting a quick kiss on his lips before going to tend to your cookies. Joel patted a quick spank on your bare ass, biting his lip as he watched it jiggle underneath his touch.

He couldn’t get enough of you.

pairing: Jordan Li x gn! reader warnings: not proof read words: 1355 summary: 3 different ways Jordan Li show they love you

masterlist

one Lazy days with Jordan were few and far between, staying top 5 in the ranking was a full-time job. They could not afford to miss classes, or not to do homework, for it held the possibility of dropping a rating. You understood how important the rankings were to them and you would never ask them to compromise on their dream just for a little bit more time with you. That is why you cherish these last days with them so much.

Being able to simply wake up to no alarm blaring in your ears and in a bed with your partner still there with you was pure bliss. While you enjoyed sleeping in, staying in bed trying to chase the last moments of sleep before having to open your eyes, Jordan was more of a morning person. Years of waking up early for class or events pushed them to wake up at 7am on the dot with or without an alarm. It was something they hated in the beginning, not being able to sleep the morning away no matter how much they wanted to.

But, they were quick to realise that waking up early on lazy days had its benefits. The main one is having the ability to take in your appearance without you getting embarrassed. Most of the time when you have caught Jordan looking at you, your reaction is to make a joke of it to hide the blush on your cheeks. But in the early hours of the morning, when you're still sleeping they can take in your beauty without you feeling embarrassed.

"What? Why are you staring at me?" your tried voice fills the air, breaking the small moment of tranquillity. Though your eyes were not open, you held a small grin on your face, wriggling slightly in an attempt to hide your face in Jordan's chest. A small chuckle is pulled from them as their arms wrap around your frame pulling you close.

"Nothing..." Their voice trails off for a moment as they place a small kiss on your temple. "You're just beautiful." A small laugh is pulled from your body as you lean back to look at them. A loving smile on your face as you lean up to kiss their jaw slightly. Not many would believe how affectionate Jordan could be behind closed doors.

two To many getting bad grades was not the worst thing in the world, the age-old saying is 'Cs get Degrees'. But to you getting good grades was important. You had worked so hard on this essay, had put countless hours and a few sleepless nights into this, and yet you got a grade you felt you did not deserve. It was soul-crushing and ripped any drive out of your body.

Since opening the notification on your vphone about your grades being released, you have not left your dorm. You just did not have the strength to go out and do something, to ask your partner about their grade or head down to the quad to get some vought-a-burger. You simply wished for the day to finish and you are able to start fresh tomorrow.

"(Y/N), I know you're in there. Open the door." A groan is pulled from your bed-bound body as you roll over to have your back to the door in the hopes it would be enough to get Jordan to leave. But if your partner is anything it is stubborn. "Don't ignore me." Loud knocks follow the next words, too loud to try and ignore.

An annoyed whine escapes you as your legs kick the covers off of your body, allowing the cold air to sprout goose bumps on your exposed skin. Your fluffy sock-clad feet pad across the floor as you move to open the door. You only open it a crack before you shuffle back to bed to rot in your bed. "Finally, I thought I was going to have to break your door down." The words come out as a huff as Jordan moves around your room, opening the blinds to allow some light into the dimly lit room.

"I'm not in the mood today Jordan," The muffle of your voice pulls Jordan towards your blanket-covered body. Eyebrows furrowed slightly as they wondered where the sadness in your voice had stemmed from. "I can tell, what is going on with you?" You can feel Jordan getting closer, the mattress dipping slightly as they haul themself onto it.

Your back is to them in a feeble attempt to protect your composure knowing if you turn to face them you'll end up crying. Their hand comes down on your shoulder, slightly rubbing the duvet cover skin. A small uneven breath leaves you as Jordan waits slightly for you to just tell them what is wrong. "My grade came out today..." You take a small pause, knowing if you speak it becomes too real. "... I did horrible. I worked so hard on the essay and got like nothing."

Your voice had become watery as you turned around to be facing Jordan, eyes looking at them for a reaction. It felt silly saying it out loud, but it did nothing to quell the hurt it brought. "You're smart, you'll bounce back. This is nothing." Jordan attempts to comfort you, hand moving from your shoulder to soothe down your unruly hair.

"But what if I don't? I'll have nothing, no one would want to give me a job." While it may be a little dramatic, to think your life is ruined over one grade, you could not help it. Jordan hums softly allowing the silence to settle before they speak, "What do you mean? You'd have me." The words brought a watery smile to your face as you opened your arms for a hug. Jordan simply had a way with words that could pull you out of whatever slump you have found yourself in.

three Nighttime 'field trips' with your partner and your small group of friends were always fun. Going out to clubs, getting drunk and high, the risk of getting caught. It was always exciting, a healthy way to get the blood pumping. Having to be back to your dorm before a certain time was restricting, it made you feel like you were in a cell, not a dorm.

Sitting on leather couches, chatting and passing baggies around was how the night always opened. Chatting about anything as you share the goods you have brought, washing it down with some fruity cocktail mix. It was only time before you all moved around the club, whether to dance, lean at the bar trying to get free drinks or flirty with some poor unsuspecting woman.

Dancing with Cate and Marie can only hold your attention for so long before you're yelling in her ear that you're going to go sit on the couches once more. With a nod from the blonde, you push through the sweaty dancing wall of people, light-headed and dizzy trying to make it to your destination.

It had taken you longer than you thought to find the couches where Jordan and Andre sat, chatting about something you were not paying attention to. Plopping onto the cushion beside your partner you allowed your body to mesh into the plush cushions. A small hello is offered to you by Jordan with a hand resting on your thigh, running the thin clothed skin. Thumb running over the flesh softly as they continue to chat with Andre.

A small hum is pulled from you as you rest most of your weight on their side, head resting on their shoulder. Sometime during your zoning out, Andre had gotten up for some reason or another, leaving the pair of you alone. "Tried?" There is a joking tone to Jordan's words and they shuffle a little to make you more comfortable. Humming softly your eyes droop a little as the loud music of the club begins to simply fade away. "Rest, I've got you," with the confirmation your eyes full shit for a small power nap, trusting Jordan to be the perfect makeshift pillow

Finally got around to making a moodboard for Single Dads AU so I have something to post today!! And please enjoy a cute scene with Buck and his girls first thing in the morning

Today, Buck’s 27 years old, a firefighter for the LAFD, and has managed to guide his daughters through their lives without too many major incidents. Carrie’s 7 and doing well in school. He’s on the PTA and is very involved in the school’s community. Lily’s 5 and today’s her first day at school.

Shit. It’s Lily’s first day. It’s 7am and Buck hasn’t even gotten out of bed yet, much less roused the girls, both of whom are notoriously not morning people. It’s with a slight sense of panic that Buck launches himself out of bed and hurriedly throws on his uniform.

He shares a wall with the girls’ bedroom, so he raps his knuckles sharply, right where he knows their bunk bed sits, just like he does every morning, before leaving his room and striding to their door.

Buck opens the door slowly, eyeing the two lumpy forms under the mountains of blankets. There’s no movement from either mound, save for the steady rise and fall as they breath, and Buck tiptoes forward, stretching up to run his fingers through the long, blonde curls splayed over the pillow on the top bunk.

“Carrie,” he whispers as he presses a gentle kiss into his daughter’s hair. “Wake up sweetheart, it’s time for school.”

Carrie turns away from Buck with a grumble that sounds suspiciously like “go away,” and pulls the blankets over her head. Buck chuckles, Sarah used to be exactly the same in the mornings, completely unable to face the world unless she’d had a cup of coffee, which she’d consume at the table with a frown, practically growling at Buck whenever he’d try talk to her.

Unfortunately, Carrie’s too young for coffee, so Buck just has to face the wrath of a cranky 7-year-old until she’s eaten breakfast.

“Hey, come on, we’re going to be late,” Buck continues, poking Carrie in the back until she giggles, twisting away from his fingers. “Good morning,” he grins when she finally sits up and turns to him, her face rosy with sleep and her hair haloing her head in a bird’s nest of blonde.

“Don’t wanna get up,” Carrie mutters as she leans forward, resting her head on his shoulder. Buck tuts sympathetically as he rubs her back before scooping her into his arms and pulling her off the bed.

“I know you don’t,” he says as he rocks her back and forth, holding her like a baby, “But it’s your sister’s first day of school and we really, really gotta get ready.”

Buck set’s Carrie on the ground and pats her back, gently encouraging her forwards. “I’ll be in to fix you breakfast in a second, go hop in the shower.”

He watches fondly as Carrie shuffles from the room, rubbing her eyes sleepily, before turning to his youngest. Somehow, Lily’s still passed out on the lower bunk. Her ability to sleep through absolutely anything will never cease to amaze Buck. He reckons it’s likely due to having a boisterous older sister and needing to sleep in loud environments when Buck was floating from job to job when she was little. The girls at the bar he’d worked at had absolutely loved seeing her strapped to his chest, earmuffs on and drooling a wet patch into his shirt as she slept, the rhythmic rocking of him shaking cocktails usually lulling her to sleep.

Buck kneels on the ground and carefully peels back her duvet, reaching out a finger to stroke along her nose, a trick that’s worked to wake her up ever since she was a baby.

“Lily, honey, it’s time to get up,” he whispers, “today’s your first day of school.”

Lily, much like her older sister, isn’t easily roused, and Buck ends up scooping her into his lap and cradling her warm, sleepy body against his chest. Usually, he’d rip back the covers and poke her until she woke up but today’s a special day and the last thing he wants is for her to wake up cranky. So, he settles himself in the relatively unused rocking chair in the corner of their room and whispers quietly in her ear as he rocks back and forth, until she’s sitting up in his lap and yawning widely, rubbing her eyes with the back of her fists.

“Got school?” Lily asks as she rests her head against Buck’s shoulder and tucks her feet up into his lap, curling into a tight little ball in his arms.

“Mmhmm,” Buck hums as he strokes a hand over her head, “you’re a big girl and get to go to school like Carrie today. Wanna pick out an outfit?”

Lily nods tiredly and hops off his lap, making her way over to the chest of drawers. “I wanna look pretty, Daddy,” she announces as she tugs open her drawer and starts sifting through all her clothes. Buck watches in amusement as she flings one shirt after the next onto the floor. He’s got half a mind to tell her to pick them up when she’s done but he’ll allow his baby one more morning of being little.

Eventually Lily turns to him with a pair of sparkly tights in one hand and her beloved butterfly shirt (complete with wings) in the other. “Can I wear this, please?” she asks, batting her eyelids at Buck. He’s not sure where she learned to do that but he’s a complete sucker for it and folds like a deckchair every time.

“Of course, baby, you’re gonna look beautiful,” he says, and he means it. She’s the most beautiful butterfly he’s ever seen.

MOTHERHOOD

She wakes up by 4am, gives you a cuddles and kiss, You sleep back, she will move straight to the kitchen. She would join morning devotion by 5:30am, start preparing kids by 6:00am, serve everybody food by 7am, take the kids to school and move to her office by 7:30am, go for school runs by 2pm. She would come back to the house by 5-6pm, start washing of clothes and cooking dinner by 6pm. Serve dinner by 7:30pm, start home work for kids by 8-9pm, Shower and meet you the husband in the room by 9:30pm, discuss with you and catch fun. And you the husband with your big head will sleep like a king, She will get up to check on the children if they are sleeping well, off the light, Start praying for you and the family by 12am -1am.. Sleep a little and wake up again by 4am to start all over again.

It's you who bleed blood every month with severe pains and crams. Even in those pains, you still have to put things together for a normal day. The cooking, washing, etc. It's you who carry another human inside you for 9months. The inconvenience, the discomfort, the sacrifice, and carefulness. You sacrifice what makes you happy just to keep another life healthy. When it's time to deliver, your life is on the line. It's a 50/50 chance for you. You may live and you may die. But being the life-giver you are, you will choose the life of a new stranger over yours. Even the process is not favorable to you. Either the pains of childbirth or surgery. After it all, you still carry yourself up and continue life activities with bandage and pains. But what is miraculous about this all is the smile you put on your face while facing all this.

May God bless every WONDERWOMAN out there. 🙏🏻

A letter from to my mum and grandmother... 👑🙏🏻❤️
