y/ndevils00 heyo! welcome back to my postgame boyfriend show! tonight the njdevils played against the spawns of satan (not trevor)! or.. i mean.. the new york rangers.

we start tonight’s recap off with a very cute picture i got of my boyfriend and his best friend (again; not trevor) talking about how much they love me during warmups!

we also have da sun showing me that the tooth fairy came to visit him awhile ago! i bet he got lots of money for his toofer, however i wouldn’t know because he’s stopped letting me steal his wallet.

our first goal of the night was a tip in by mr. haula at ya! followed up in the same period by a goal from timo time! notice how he made the post this time? that’s because unlike most of these idiots (i’m looking at you, marino 👀), timo takes me seriously!

however, immediately after timo’s goal, haulaback girl was placed in the sin bin for tripping. i was very disappointed and he got a very strict talking to during first intermission and assured me he wouldn’t get another penalty. he lied.

he got a penalty in second period for the exact same reason that he did in the first. i cannot promise i was as nice to him in the second intermission.

we got a few scrums in this game, but my personal favorite one was in third period and ended much too quickly for my liking. BOO, REFS!

and finally, we have some pictures of my gorgeous, talented, sometimes annoying babygirl… my boyfriend!

dawson1417 y/n, i never LET you steal my wallet. you would take it from my pocket and count my money and then give it back, like a thief that’s really bad at their job

y/ndevils00 i’m just a very curious person! i like to know everyone’s business, all the time. and you never told me to stop 🤷‍♀️

jackhughes if i remember correctly, dawson and i were actually discussing our plans for the off-season

y/ndevils00 you remember incorrectly

jackhughes did you just call me babygirl

y/ndevils00 you’re so babygirl

jackhughes thank you?

john.marino97 why does everyone else get normal penalty reactions but me?

user52 wait, did y/n ACTUALLY just talk to Haula?!

john.marino97 @/user52 yes!

user52 OH MY GOD JOHN ILY

y/ndevils00 because you’re my bff and i only want the best for you

john.marino97 every day i rethink why i decided to become one of your best friends

y/ndevils00 you love me

trevorzegras did you seriously just specify that you weren’t talking about me when you said spawn of satan?

y/ndevils00 i didn’t want anyone to get confused!

trevorzegras i don’t like you

y/ndevils00 wait really???

trevorzegras wait no y/n i’m sorry. i was just joking

y/ndevils00 📸 caught in 4k

trevorzegras i hope both sides of your pillow are hot tonight

tmeier96 i made the post!!

y/ndevils00 you did a good job with my demands 🫡 i love my blankie

ehaula second intermission… you’re scary

y/ndevils00 remember that.

ryangraves27 why did you have to do me like this?

y/ndevils00 idk what you mean 🤭

user6 y/n is a menace and i’m here for it

lhughes_06 do i get to be in these posts when i join?

y/ndevils00 moosey, you’ll replace jack as the star of the show

jackhughes now hold on! let’s not get ahead of ourselves here!

y/ndevils00 @/jackhughes i said what i said.

lhughes_06 @/jackhughes can we keep her?

jackhughes i intend to

nicohischier no feature for me tonight? i feel betrayed

y/ndevils00 i only have 9 picture slots bud, idk what to tell ya 🤷‍♀️

y/ndevils00 make a goal next time or something

nicohischier i’m gonna steal your cat

y/ndevils00 you wouldn’t!

nicohischier i probably wouldn’t even need to steal her. i bet jack would just give her to me.

y/ndevils00 @/jackhughes TELL HIM HE’S WRONG!

jackhughes …. no comment

y/ndevils00 @/jackhughes you’re sleeping on the couch

jackhughes @/y/ndevils00 that only hurts you babe. every time you say that, you end up dragging me in to the bed at like 2am because you can’t fall asleep without me

y/ndevils00 @/jackhughes you can’t cook broccoli.

jackhughes @/y/ndevils00 yes i can! i can now!

Hallows' Eve

Written: Oct 2 2020

Pairing: dark!Bucky Barnes, dark!Steve Rogers, dark!Clark Kent x Black Female Reader

You expected a nice night on the eve of Halloween with your boyfriend, Bucky.

A/N: Ahh shoutout to my bff @titty-teetee for indulging me with this idea lol. I love ya >:D

October 30th, middle of somewhere, Texas.

Well, there was a house-- rickety as it was, the home stood in a clump of mesquite trees, accented with tufts of Johnsongrass, springing up through the cracks of the stone walkway and leaning against the stairs to the front porch. It had never looked darker than this night had. But even so, the jagged wood roof  rose high to a second story, long windows looked like eyes with the small front door for a mouth. A steady breeze moved through the trees, shaking and whishing the long thin branches, slicing through the air. The whispering of nature speaks to you, like God to man, invoking what has been and what was to come. An unexpected thin place perhaps, the house, having not been filled for quite some time looked like it could have been haunted. Maybe a part of you wished it was. Like the walls and foundation had the ability to make up its own people within, or remembered who once lived there. 

Bucky’s fingers nudged your lower back as you walked alongside him. The duffle bags zipper clinked against the fabric and you were suddenly aware of how quiet it was out here. The crisp autumn air, slowly contorted to that spikey chill of early winter lingered on your skin. So you walked closer to him for some quick warmth. 

“They should be--” said Bucky, lights glowed up from the dirt road. The paleness glowed over both you and Bucky, the house, the dormant land. “There they are.” he said pausing for a moment and then continued once again.

“You had to pick the spookiest spot huh?” you said under your breath. 

He shrugged as he stomped up the stairs. “I was here yesterday, I got it ready. It’s a perfect spot for a quick get away.”

“But did you have to invite company? I was looking forward to it just being you and me.”

Bucky rummaged for the keys in his pocket as a couple of car doors slammed behind you. 

“‘Come on babe, Steve doesn’t have anywhere to go really.”

“I’ll start the fire!” shouted Steve. 

You didn’t turn around, your eyes stayed on the shadows of Bucky’s face where his eyes should have been. 

“Okay, I get that. But what about the other guy? What did you say his name was? How do you know him?”

Bucky jabbed the key with the lock, he chuckled a bit before answering. “Clark Kent, his name is Clark.”

“So you’re picking up strays now?” 

“Get to know him, you’ll like him. He's a great guy, hardly a stray...”

You followed Bucky into the house slowly, he flicked on the switch flooding the living room with light. Okay, you thought, doesn’t look so bad. At least the furnishing appeared to be from within the last ten years, the walls looked newish, with sharp borders, and reasonably decorated. 

“Besides, I picked you up, remember?”

You dropped your bag flat on the ground. “Hey, now. Are you trying not to get lucky while we stay here?”

Bucky continued into the house with the grocery bags. “I’ll get lucky regardless.” he cut his eyes over his shoulder back toward you. It sent another chill, this time up your inner thighs. He wasn’t lying.

“Oh god, not that stupid-”

Bucky ducked in close, the flimsy plastic mask buckled under the pressure of nuzzling your neck. You gazed into the bathroom mirror at Bucky who’s rubber Michael Myers mask was staring lifelessly back.

“I know you wanted to try something different….but….”

His hands kneaded your sides, higher he climbed over your sweater to your breasts.

“You look ridiculous…”

One hand left your nipple and began tugging at the top of your leggings.

“Shh…” he tried to stifle a laugh. “..just go with it..”

And you did, by leaning your head back against the blue denim jacket as his fingers wondered underneath your underwear.

“..let daddy have a feel.” his breathy question muffled through the mask. Slowly he began to circle your clit, mouth hanging open your hand held the top of his black gloved hand and pushed him to press harder.

“Look at yourself...how needy you get.” he whispered.

You try to peer beyond the mask, the slits for eyes but there was nothing. Only darkness met you there. Bucky brought up his hand, held it in front of the mirror and you. He split his fingers, thick wetness strung between them like webs.

“Bend over-- hold on to the sink.” he ordered, with his hands disappearing behind you. The sound of his clothes ruffling you stared back at the mirror.

Bucky stepped forward, knocking your ankles apart with his shiny black boots and yanked your pants, underwear down and gently, he tipped into you. His long length traveled against your folds sinking further inside.

Ghostly scenes are made from the smoke casting up from the flickering fire being fed from lava colored coals. The metal chair underneath you feels cool on your bottom, because even though you are sitting on a blanket the cold night air hangs around you. 

Steve was ending his story. Though hardly a spooky tale, it didn’t have to be, for his tales were based on true events. Speaking of blood and gore the morbid tone grew in his voice and brought a shadow of delight in his eyes. You carefully watched him, observed his hunched over shoulders, his eyes turned to yours sometimes while he spoke but mostly stayed on the fire. 

You chugged from the bottle of hard cider as Bucky ate, that stupid mask was pulled up over his brows. But Clark Kent, this stranger, sat nearly directly opposite. You moved your eyes to him ever so often while Steve told his story. One of the two thought about food on the way here, chicken, you guessed was their craving. Clark leaned back, his black jacket bunched at his waist as he rose a hand to his mouth. The crunch of the crust of fried meat did not break Steve’s momentum. 

When he finished, Bucky nodded to the accuracy of the amount of soldiers, to why the only man left was brave and courageous. Clark’s eyes met yours over the flames, his skin pale, the wavy dark curls framed his face. He smiled at you as he chewed. You noticed it then, unsure why you wouldn’t have before, he held the grey cooked bone between his fingers and stuck the end in his mouth. You blinked, maybe you were seeing things -- this was your sixth cider for the night.

“Are you eating the bones?” you asked.

Clark continued to gnaw on it till it broke off in his mouth. “Waste not want not,” he said through a mouthful.

He continued to stare back at you and at the same time a chill coursed its way down your spine. Shivering in the gentle breeze the urge to go to the bathroom shot through you. 

“I’ll be right back,” and excused yourself from the fire.

Had to be a bit past ten p.m., though this was supposed to be a pleasant fall break, it didn’t truly feel that way. Not with two extra guests. You tried to not feel so desperate to be alone with Bucky. You finished washing your hands and opened the bathroom door. In the dark, lit up by the light of the bathroom a figure stood. You jumped so hard, grasping at your sweater, bent over grabbing your waist, the boogeyman mask simply stared back at you without moving.

“Bucky I swear to -- why would you? -- take that stupid thing off-” and you reached for the mask but his hand grabbed your wrist. Slowly he walked over the threshold, leaned over and flicked off the light. 

“Oh no!” you feigned a plea. “Seriously..--help..help.” you giggled through another.

The door slammed behind him trapping the dark inside. He pulled you close at first, residing to his strength, you let him touch, grab, pluck at your body. Backing you back up against the sink the rubber mask pushed against your neck, smiling in the dark you could hear him attempting to kiss you there. 

His hands ran around the waist of your leggings, one big hand gripped and caressed your ass, slipped toward your split and rubbed your asshole. You jumped again, this time wrapping your arms around his neck. Different, he had never done such a thing before, but you went with it. 

His finger crawled passed it, his other hand pushed down the front of your legging and circled your clit. 

“..help...a big bad man...help..” you chuckled under a moan. 

He jerked you away suddenly, pulled down your leggings and underwear, with a hand on your shoulder he forced you to bend over. The room filled with the sound of a smack to your back side. 

“Bucky!” 

The stinging lingered but white hot pain replaced it with another hit from his gloved hand. 

“Okay!” you rushed out. Maybe he was just being kinky, perhaps your pretending might have put him out of the mood. 

He hit you again making you grip the lip of the sink harder. “I’m sorry daddy..” you hissed.

He was back behind you again, his whole body pressed against you, scratching at the skin of your ass he plunged two thick fingers into your entrance.  Heavy breathing billowed from under the mask, hot air pooled over your shoulder and around the back of your neck. The weight of him bent you forward. He pulled out his fingers from within you and began to prod with something warmer, and far thicker at your slit as his other hand tangled with your fingers on the sink. 

And he pushed in, “..damn!” you moaned.

Jerky, irregular thrusts stretched you more than what you remembered. “Bucky!” you gasped, hoping he would slow the pace. But the other hand grabbed for your throat, squeezed tight and pumped you harder. 

“Daddy, please..” you half begged, half needingly whimpered. 

That changed his stroke, and soon the ache descended into bliss. 

“Fuck...daddy…”

His hand on yours returned to your clit, pushing hard and swiping steadily, your knees nearly buckled. Thicker for sure, veiny too, you thought, god what the loss of one sensory can do on a drunk mind. Your body bucked back against him as you rode out the orgasm. He squeezed harder, hissing and groaning under the mask you could nearly imagine him as someone else. And when he stilled inside of you, even his hiccups of pleasure could be thought of another. You shook the fantasy away as he stepped back. 

Before you could even turn around, the door opened, your eyes shot to his brown boots and then up to his back. And he left you there.

You stuffed pieces of a premade popcorn ball into your mouth. Bucky sat there weaving a tale of spirits walking through walls, of ancient gods embedded into objects best left to rest where they laid. Still buzzing hard you stayed captivated by his tone. It was something about the secretive way his voice projected that kept you staring at him, wondering if it could be true, but knew it mustn’t. 

It was still cool out, the shabby blanket thrown over your sore legs did little to keep the wind out. But it made for a good catcher, which is what you were doing toward the end of his story. Picking up pieces of fallen popcorn, and pizza flavored chip crumbs somehow made it to your mouth despite the only source of light was a waning fire.

“So if you ever hear your name called..don’t ever answer back, unless you can see it’s a actually living person.” Bucky finished and glanced over at you proudly.

“I hate that story.” you slurred your words a bit and shook out the blanket on your lap. “I hope you’re happy, you have to walk me everywhere until we return home.”

You picked up the last bottle off the ground and drank the last bit. The clash of flavors swirled on your tongue leaving a bitter after taste.

“Babe do you have any gum?”

“There’s a pack in the middle console--” Steve spoke up. “Back there in the truck..” he said hooking his thumb over his shoulder.

You rolled your eyes over in Steve’s direction. A smug grin, and a wrinkle on the side of one eye simply gazed back at you. 

“You’re fine,” he said finally. “You’ve got us here...nothings gunna get you.” he reminded smoothly.

And the moment was quiet, poised on the end of the gentle breeze blowing through the heat of the fire. The rustle of sleeping honeysuckle vines, somewhere near the old rotted out shack Steve’s truck sat was the only identifiable sound for a few seconds. 

“Fine.” you huffed and stood up to get that gum.

You walked down the dirt path the short way from the front of the house where Bucky, Steve and Clark sat. The tin roofing of the old shed rocked, and slapped against itself the closer you got. And of course Steve parked on the other side, out of the sight of the house and fire. But you walked quickly, or rather, as fast as two aching legs could in the cool weather. 

The knocking sound only got heavier, louder as you squinted in the dark toward the blackest corner of the area. Steve’s truck was within a few footsteps and you batted away any imaginings of spooky phantoms. You slipped passed the door, your hand flipped up the middle console and snagged up the pack of gum before slamming the door back. And when you turned around, just off from where you had previously walked was a figure. The white, deathly pale mask was the only part you could really see.

“Fuck!” you shouted, dropping the pack of gum. “Bucky!” you hissed and reached back down to retrieve it. 

The yellow fire light was at his back when he moved forward toward you. 

“Okay...no more mask!”

You stuffed the gum under your arms and went to yank at the mask. But he caught your arm and squeezed down like a vice grip. “Hey--easy there..” you said quietly. 

He pulled you toward the shed, but just outside of it, along the rotten wall of it a few old deep freezers were lined up against it collecting weeds, and dust. 

“Oh no, Bucky..those look super dirty..” you tried to jerk your arm away but he only pulled you harder. “...Really? You’re this committed to fucking in that mask?”

This time your hand grabbed enough of the back of the mask to rip it fully up over his head. At that same moment you were jerked forward between the rusty freezer and him. Your eyes now bulging and fighting for light to correct what you were seeing in the dark stared up at him. You blinked several times once more before you realized the angular features did not belong to Bucky. Thick curly hair, messy all over haloed around his face, and of course, you weren’t sure why you hadn’t noticed before, he was taller. It was Clark.

You made to quickly move away from him but he snapped you back, “Get off me!” Your voice shook, and so did your body. 

“Bucky’s right over there...all I have to do is scr--”

The air whipped out of your lungs so fast as Clark slammed his palm over your mouth and rushed your back down on to the freezer. 

“I’ve been waiting all night for this..” he whispered.

No amount of squirming could equal the might Clark welding against your struggling. It was like a man made of iron held you down, even when his other hand disappeared between your legs, the tearing of your legging, your underwear did not loosen his hold. And then the unfolding of his clothes paired with the gentle brushing of the vines against wood near your head sent you into hysterical kicking. Your legs on either side of him squeezed, and jerked to no avail. 

“-don’t act so innocent. You’ve already fucked two different men tonight.”

You stopped kicking, eyes wide above his hand you glowered at him through the dark. “You won’t mind..will you?”

Shaking your head you held your breath. The thick end of his cock began to push past your folds. 

“Slut.” 

He lowered his forehead on to yours, what you imagined was him staring back down at you but could see only the tip of his nose. A shuddering breath pulled through your nose as he sank further to his balls. “You’re wet from it still…”

He started snapping into you, hard and fast, slapping his lust into your unwilling cunt. Clark’s hand slipped to your chin, his lips hovering above yours. 

“Are you going to call me daddy too?” he asked, with his breath steadily huffing into your mouth. “..Say it for me baby..” 

“Let me hear that little desperate voice..” He kissed you, slipping his tongue along the inside of your lower lip and then against your face as you turned your head. “Come on..” And then he started jabbing, a feral thumping into you. Sharp pains up your thighs shot further into your core. You denied him and he lowered his head to your neck. He sucked on your skin, flicked his tongue around and inside your ear. “Say it,” he whispered. 

You whimpered in response as his teeth began to snag on the wet skin of your neck. He sucked hard, drawing out needle points of pain. 

You pray to god Bucky could hear this, you’ve been gone too long certainly either Steve or him could. Clark kept nibbling, and groaning in between thrusts. When you refused once again he shoved his palm back over your mouth, the other brought your wrist up and twisted it into a bone breaking angle. 

He stopped moving inside of you as his deep voice raked over clenched teeth, “What was that?” he asked. The warm palm slid down to your chin. 

“..daddy.” you shivered out.

You could hear the satisfied smile in his voice. “Good..girl.” he whispered. 

“That wasn’t so hard to say was it babe?”

The sound of Bucky’s voice from the darkest, most grown up side of the shed sent your eyes reeling in the dark. Clark put his hand back over your mouth and kept going. 

Bucky stood at the edge of the freezer, in the dark the features of his face were smudged. A gentle hand caressed the top of your forehead. 

“It’s okay, sweetheart. Let Clark finish.”

At Bucky’s words, Clark released your mouth, he rose up and held your upper arms down as he continued to fuck you roughly. Your eyes stayed on Bucky’s silhouette, high pitch whimpering up at him did not go unheard. 

Bucky cupped your chin and head. “Shush,” he hushed down your sobbing face. 

Another pair of hands tore at the front of your sweater. To his right, another figure stepped to your side. The figures loomed over you while your breasts chilled, and peaked in the cool night air. A deft hot hand kneaded and groped at the nearest one. 

“You told us she was good….” Steve pinched your nipple hard. “She’s fucking outstanding.”

Bucky leaned over you, he grabbed for your thigh but you kicked away. Clark relinquished some leverage to pull your thigh up so Bucky could hold your ankle. “Yeah, get in there good.” Bucky’s voice rose above your strangled cries. Steve got your other leg, held it folded it in high and tight, that allowed Clark to pound you deeper. 

He grinded his hips into yours burning his stiff cock into your core. His grip tightened around your arms pinning you for good below him. “Where am I going to empty my balls?” Clark demanded on a puff of air. 

Tears slid down the corners of your eyes. They rolled from the darken outlines of Bucky above you to Steve at his side and then back to the man between your legs. 

“..in me.” you sniffled out. 

“And who are we--” Bucky asked softly. 

You didn’t bother to look in the direction of his voice, Clark’s head threw back, a deep moan started in his chest as his hips kept pumping. “Say it baby..” Clark whispered.

“..daddy.” you whimpered.

For Yandere BFF Rindo, it seems like he's just a baby in denial (totally in love with bestie but unwilling to admit it and covers by saying its a best friend thing (totally not a boyfriend thing)). Based off your "Opinions about Dating BFF Reader", a question has been sparked.

What would happen if BFF herself asked Rindo to date/why aren't they dating? BFF has heard from other people that when a boy and a girl like each other alot and never want to be apart that means they should date. It totally sounds like an upgrade from BFF (isn't dating just like being super BFF's with kissing?) Once bestie gets an idea in her head she doesn't seem to let up or let go of it, so how would Rindo handle bestie insisting that they should date/aren't they basically dating already? (Or alternatively, does Rindo succeed in convincing bestie that she is mistaken and then proceeds to beat up whoever put these ideas in her head)

I totally can imagine Ran catching wind of this bestie thinks she should be dating Rindo agenda and egging it on (either to annoy Rindo or because he can see how obsessed Rindo is with bestie and thinks it'll do him some good to be able to claim a more official possessive position in her life)

been working on A Friend in Me but also got caught up in the TR Puzz Reve game ;-; so sorry if things get a bit slow here

Masterlist | Rindo Tags

‎

I previously answered about Rindo being asked by an external party on dating you and how it would react, but I honestly think that the same question coming from you would get a totally different reaction.

Under every circumstance, Rindo will absolutely just freeze up and short circuit the first time you ask about dating. Not because its a strange question to ask, given its something he not only have been asked multiple times before, but also have considered before himself, but because ya know, it’s you of all people. The one person he never expects to know anything beyond what he teaches you.

Yes sure, he knows that you love to read those sappy romance books whenever you sleepover (cause you need him to explain the story to you, and god only knows why this baby boy continues to keep them in his room for you). But he has always made sure to always trick you with regards to what those stories were actually talking about, so where on earth did you hear about dating from?

Asks you to repeat your question as if he didn't hear it the first time, but ends up cutting you off halfway and demanding to know who you heard that from - Rindo's not going to let you leave until he finds out where you learnt that close friends should date, claiming that it's dangerous to listen to others beside him.

Did he actually have feelings for you beyond being a caring, overprotective bestfriend? Irrelevant, in this boy's opinion, especially so right now when there is clearly a more pressing issue to solve at hand.

‎‎

But after this stage, Rindo's next actions depend on the current situation the two of you find yourself in.

If it's still just you and Rindo against the world, then this boy would immediately try to change your mind. If you are already insisting that the two of you are essentially dating (since the two of you were already super BFFs right?), Rindo would try his best to persuade you that you had the wrong idea, that dating and having being BFFs were completely different things and that you were completely mistaken in your understanding.

Would do his best to try and find out where you heard it from so that he can have a little talk to set things straight (hoping to anyone out there it isn't Ran because fuccckkkkk). And you'll get to hear straight from the horses mouth on how having a boyfriend was bad for you and you shouldn't aspire to have one. If you heard it from Ran then Rindo just has to convince you to stop talking to his stupid older brother because what else can he do?

However, if you do continue to insist that the two of you are already dating or that you two should start, then Rindo would very reluctantly go along with it with with several conditions, essentially that it would be no different from when the two of you were just BFFs, and that you weren't allowed to tell anyone else about this "dating" without his express permission, especially not Ran.

Anything more than calling himself your bestfriend would not be processable in Rindo's mind, and honestly the idea of kissing for this baby boy is so out there at this point in time that he can't even comprehend it without his brain melting down and him having to reset.

‎

If this occurs after you have already met Kakucho and worse, Izana, then no doubt that Rindo would immediately agree to being your boyfriend the moment you bring it up. No questions asked. Sure the mere thought of being your boyfriend would bring a blush to his face and he can barely speak without stammering about how you were being so stupid right now, but he knows that allowing you to say that you had a boyfriend and that you were dating him would help to fend off unwanted attention.

He will no doubt start to work on fear-mongering you into thinking that he was doing you an absolute favor because did you know how bad it is to have a boyfriend?? And whoever told you otherwise is lying, especially Izana, though he only says this out of earshot. And hopefully you don't repeat this to the Tenjiku gang leader because god only knows how many beatings he would get in retaliation.

Absolutely worth it though, if you reject any and all other advances, because you can't keep yourself save even if life on earth depends on it, and Rindo can't trust you with drinking from a straw if he isn't watching.

But at the same time, this baby boy becomes just so shy about doing anything with you and even more self-conscious. What if other people get the wrong idea about what you mean to him? What if people stop seeing him as a delinquent but see him as some mush? So he switches to holding your hand in private, or where people can't watch because of the implications, but Rindo quickly caves when you start pouting.

‎

Ran no doubt would absolutely encourage your behavior the moment he finds out, and he will because you simply can't keep your mouth shut. This poor older brother not only will enjoy the free real estate of laughs and wiggling eyebrows at his younger brother, but also the peace and quiet of Rindo having some sort of security over you. No more late nights of being awaken by Rindo storming over to your place early in the morning, or being dragged out of bed by another suspicious post on social media.

Rindo's obsession with you has been so obvious from the start that Ran doesn't know why he hasn't just upgraded himself from the start, but honestly he'll be rich before he can mind-read what goes through Rindo's head. Ran would definitely be the sort to take the opportunity not only to pester and annoy Rindo with innuendos and seemingly harmless questions about marriage, but also go behind the poor boy's back to plant the same questions on you to ask your bestfriend.

Grim *to Malleus*: so, you're my hench-human's boyfriend?

Malleus: why, yes. They have made me quite welcome in their home

Leona: he's not their boyfriend, just their boy toy

Grim: what!?

Malleus: I am in fact their boy friend, Kingscholar, they have even made the effort to gift me with this "friendship bracelet" made in my dorm's colors

Grim: wait a minute, they never got me one of those!

Leona: they'll get bored of you soon enough

Malleus: I beg to differ, they've already declared me their "BFF," which in case you didn't know, means Best Friends Forever meaning we will not part till the sun reaches its final ascent, the world ceases to spin, and we take our last breath. Until then-

Leona: geez, shut up already. Literally no one cares for your yapping.

Malleus: Ah, I see what's going on here

Leona: hm?

Grim: what's going on, Hornton?

Malleus: Kingscholar is feeling "jealous" of my happy relationship with the child of man

Leona: tch, yeah right

Malleus: yes, why else would you so shamelessly demean my openly intimate relationship with my child of man?

Grim: *gasp* I think you're right! You are jealous, aren't you

Leona: *rolls eyes and yawns* whatever. I'll bet that soon as I wake up from my nap, the little hervibore will have tired of you and you'll be in tears, hiding back in your little dorm like you know how

Malleus: *glaring* come again?

Leona: you heard me

Malleus: I-

Yuu: Grim, I'm back! Brought ya some tuna too

Grim: okay, ladies, get outta here cuz I ain't sharin' one bit of my canned tuna with either of you

[eldritch-spouse]

pinnie my boyfriend broke up with me because he fell “out of love” with me. I still love him very dearly and I’m not feel feeling too good, could I get some hurt/comfort from the clergy boys if it’s not too much trouble? your art and stories have really helped a lot thank you.

[Laughs in "too insecure and alert to ever get in a relationship". But no seriously, sorry to hear that. I hope it was at least a smooth conclusion. Also, I shoved all of them in here.]

Oh man. See, these monsters are generally scummy and opportunistic, they're not someone you want to reach out to for comfort. Because it won't be genuine. Chances are a good portion of them would have a hand in at least ruining any relationship you might have had. If not outright killing your partner, which is, without a doubt, what most want to do.

Breg does not know how to comfort you during this time, because he generally sees you breaking up as a great thing! It means less work for him! Do you wanna go somewhere? Let's celebrate!

Fasma will offer you drinks, because that's how he copes. Though, that night, he'll be drinking in victory. Your ex-lover's going to appear somewhere with a bullet between their eyes but ssshhh- Just drink.

Morell thinks you're silly! It's actually hard to take you seriously even if you aren't one of the pigs in his kitchen. What're you on about? ex-partner? That pathetic little thing? Pumpkin, you've been Morell's ever since he laid a hand on ya, that right there is just his next pig.

Gallon is also another monster who will offer you drinks, and endless conversation. See, the topic may hurt you, but Gallon wants to pry. Both to find everything he can about the person he's going to make have an "accidental death" and to get you vulnerable enough that you'll lean on him for all the comfort you need.

Fank-e goes so silent when you mention a partner that you might get scared. Until he start blabbering again. Hahah, that's so dumb, lol! You're BFFs, who cares about that loser?! If he fell off the face of the Earth, no one would care. Hey hey, do you want matching bracelets? Fank-e will help throw out all the ugly junk your ex gave you!

Vinnel is likely to hurt you purely for not being told you were in a relationship to begin with. It's ugly and impulsive and he's going to fetch your ex wherever they are to rend them in pieces for the viewing pleasure of all sickfucks in The Clergy. Mostly his. He brings their teeth back for you. Smile, Vinnel threw out the trash for you!

Santi has not stopped laughing. He knows it's insensitive but- Partner?? You?? Oh, you poor thing, not even close. See, you're his human. Whoever that little chucklefuck is? No love, they're gone, might as well never have existed. Oh, do you want to stop by their place and fuck on ther bed? Because that Santi can do!

Grimbly is, without a doubt, going to ruin your ex partner's life somehow. They never deserved you! <3 But you know who does? Grimbly! Because how could he ever fall out of love with the light of his life? Humans are frail and dumb, no offense mommy/daddy, but you deserve the love of someone who will never let go. Till your dying breath, you're his.

Ludwig is actually almost normal about this, almost. He's unnaturally calm, but that's only a ruse. Deep down, beneath all the blankets he's piled on you and the junk food you're both scarfing down, he's boiling alive with violent excitement. Because this is the greenlight he was originally not going to wait for. Lud will seriously slaughter your ex, torture them the way he wanted to before. There's nothing to stop him now, not even their pitiful cries.

Mervin will not comfort you at all. See, you deserve this! That's what happens when you reject someone leagues above for a piece of walking shit like that vermin who just dumped you. Does it feel good? No, right? It's humiliating, isn't it? Yeah. Did you learn your lesson? Grovel at his feet and you might still have a chance with Mervin. Your ex? Oh ho, don't worry, they'd make for a lovely skin carpet.

Obie's treating you to a five star restaurant. And don't worry about dressing fancy, you're getting a private booth. Eat all you want, he knows the sensation of rejection like an ugly second skin. See, not to shit on your science, but he thinks that if you had given him a chance, none of this turmoil would be happening now. Oh, him? Nah, he's not hungry, he's saving his appetite for something special...

Nebul is having deep conversations with you about what it was like being with this person, how they made you feel, how you were treated. See, the wraith thinks you've picked someone who never truly loved you. They neglected you. They're immature and selfish, you'd benefit from a lover who has life experience, someone who's above that silly dating game. Don't you want commitment, sweet pearl?

Belo is the living embodiment of "I told you so." Quite like Mervin, he's treating this as a lesson you should take key points from. Mainly that true love is near impossible to find and you shouldn't be tricked by other silly little humans and their pointless words. Second, that you must always trust your guardian angel when he says something is bad for you. Belo warned you dating them was a bad idea! Now he's going to have to punish the two of you. See, this is why you can't be left alone to make your own choices, you need him. Only him.

Patches is screaming internally. Why are you crying?? You didn't see him hang your partner from a tree, did you? Oh. Oh you broke up with them? Wow, so sad. Yeah. Anyhow, you wanna go on horse rides with him? The dullahan found this mare that's so nice and calm, you can totally learn to ride a horse with his guidance, forget about that idiot.

Sybastian really doesn't understand the need to cry, you're confusing yourself, the only reason he never killed them is because you always seemed so upset by the idea. Which is dumb, because you're his mate! Well, now that that's over, he's going to go for a quick hunting trip, and you two can officially consummate your bond later!

Krulu has erased any memory of prior relationships you've had, as well as killed all your ex partners, because he's a petty god and only he can be the one living being to ever have had you.

DRA Boys with S/o bruised by their giant doggo

A/n: Yeah, I know this is random, but sometimes I write random crap and scenarios that nobody asked for. Please don’t roast my writing too hard 😅

Tsurugi Kinjo:

When he saw the bruises, he was immediately pissed, mentally preparing to either arrest someone or tell you off if it was an accident

He wasted no time demanding what happened

"Oh, this? It was my dog, he was just happy to see me!"

He...was not expecting that answer

"..? I see, be more careful next time." He relaxes knowing that no one had intentionally hurt you.

He'll get you an ice pack and help you if it's more severe

You mainly use it as an excuse to get cuddles from him

DRA Teruya Otori:

"Y-Y/n!? Are ya okay!? Who did thi' te ya!?" He cries out, breaking into a heavier accent in shock. He immediately runs over to you and holds you.

"I-I'm sorry tha' I couldn't protect ya! Does thi' hurt-"

"Teruya! I'm okay, it was just D/n." You rub his back, noticing him tear up a bit. If you were dating, he definitely knew your dog by now. He immediately calms down, but feels a bit embarrassed.

"Oh. Sorry, Y/n. I guess I overreacted a bit." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

"I'm glad I have a boyfriend who cares so much." You reply, kissing him on the cheek. He stammered out an incoherent response, trying to hide his growing blush.

Kakeru Yamaguchi:

He is also immediately worried.

"Y/n! W-Who did this!? What happened!" He cries out. He overthinks about anything or anyone that could have caused this. You were so nice, what could've happened!? Did HE do that to you without realizing!?

You were quick to explain everything to him and he sighs in relief. He'll never admit it, but one of his biggest fears is hurting or scaring you due to his strength and appearance.

In the end, you're the one comforting him, but you don't mind! He also asks if he can meet your doggo sometime.

Yamato Kisaragi:

He wastes no time running over to you, and rapidly asking questions and rambling.

"Y/Nohmygoshareyouokaywhodidthistoyou-"

"Yamato! I'm fine, it was just my dog!" His eyes widen in response before he goes,

"You have a dog!? Why haven't you told me!?" He quickly insists on kissing your bruises, gets you an ice pack, and walks you home. You believe it was just as much as an act of his kindness as it was an excuse to meet your dog.

Him and your dog become bffs.

Utsuro:

He doesn't really make a big deal out of it. He doesn't talk much, so in the middle of your mostly one sided conversation he goes,

"What happened?" Motioning to the bruise.

You explain what happened to him and he just nods. He isn't very worried, since he knows that nothing is going to happen to you, and his appearance alone can scare away anyone who dares to mess with you.

Thanks to his luck, the bruise heals rather quickly, but he'll still get an ice pack if you say that it's painful.

Kinji Uehara:

He doesn't make a big deal out of it, but is still concerned over what could have happened.

"Y/n, you have a bruise. Are you alright? Are you in pain?"

"Hm? Oh! I'm fine, don't worry, babe! It was just my dog." He lightly blushes a bit at the pet name, but accepts your answer.

"I see. Would you like an ice pack, dear? I suggest you be more careful when handling your dog."

He'll lightly kiss it before bringing you the ice pack. Look who's blushing now-

Haruhiko Kobashikawa:

Immediatly freaks out, not as loudly as Yamato, but he still keeps asking,

"Y/n! You're hurt! Who did this!?"

After diminishing his fears and explaining, he’ll happily kiss your bruises. He jokingly says that if someone ever hurt you then he wouldn’t hesitate to beat him up, to which you respond that his ass would get handed to him.

“Hey! I’m not that weak!” He pouts. You nuzzle his neck and he kisses you.

He’ll get you an ice pack and be sure you’re okay. There’s also a chance he’ll “check you for other bruising” Dude you ain’t slick-

Mitch Higa:

“Woah! Y/n, what happened to your arm!?”

Without even meaning to, he attracts literally the entire class’s attention. Even if you and his classmates have gotten him to be less self absorbed, the habit of attracting attention everywhere dies hard.

He does get pretty pissed off at whoever could’ve done this, but he relaxes when you explain that it’s just from big doggo. He wouldn’t make a big deal of it after that.

He’d also ask to meet your dog and would become bffs with them.

DRA Yuki Maeda:

Like Haruhiko, he’s quick to be worried, but is gentle in his approach. He tries not to make you uncomfortable or draw attention.

“Y/n, are you alright. Your arm is bruised, what happened?”

He is still relieved when you explain what happened. He’ll bring you an ice pack and will kiss your bruises if you ask him to. He’ll also shyly ask if he could meet your dog.

With his luck, there’s a chance your dog will bruise him too

Game On

Pairing: Billy Russo x F! Reader

Supporting Character: Frank Castle

Warnings: None really, maybe a couple swear words but other than that, this is pure fun. There are a few smooches.

Word Count: 5,065-ish (I’m sorry, it’s a little longer than what I usually put out )

Summary: Your best friend and co-worker, Ginger has an idea for a fun Saturday afternoon. She suggests a game of laser tag and also suggests you bring along your boyfriend Billy and his best friend Frank.

A/N: This just sounded like so much fun that I had to write it down. And my sweet friend Lily @munsonownsmyass mentioned how much she loved Ginger from my Happy Birthday fics so I figured I’d give her more love. She is based on my bff, she is the most fun and I can so picture her doing this. I hope you guys like it! Oh I did stick a quote from Mr. & Mrs. Smith in here

As always, thank you for reading!  I appreciate it so much and comments, reblogs are welcome and encouraged. Don’t be shy to tell me your favorite part. 💕💕💕

“Hey! What are you doing next weekend?” Ginger asked you excitedly as she looked over at you from her desk which was next to yours. The work day was always filled with interruptions from either her or you randomly bringing up obscure ideas that just popped into your heads.

The clicking of your keyboard stopped as you looked over at her. “Next weekend? I don’t think I have anything goin on. Why, what’s up?” You were very intrigued, Ginger was always full of great ideas and fun things to do.

She removed her blue light glasses and set them down on her desk. “Because I was thinking that we should go and play laser tag.”

Your eyebrows automatically raised like being pulled up by strings. “Laser tag?!!”

“Yeah!! Get a few people from around the office, you bring that smexy boyfriend of yours, oh he should bring Frank…and his kids would probably love it!”

You pondered for a minute before answering her, it did sound like a lot of fun. “Ya know what, that does sound like fun. I’ll talk to Billy when he gets home tonight.”

Billy Russo was your devastatingly handsome boyfriend and former boss. After confessing that he had feelings for you last year at your birthday party, you resigned from your position at his company, Anvil, and started your relationship.

Since that night, you have never been happier, you got a new job working with your best friend and you and Billy recently moved in together. Life was very good.

“Laser tag?!!” Billy exclaimed, flashing that blinding smile at you. “How many people will there be?”

“I dunno yet.”

“What kind of set up is it?”

“I dunno…”

“Is it a point system or is it a you get shot and you’re out situation?”

You shrugged your shoulders. “Alright, soldier…at ease! I don’t know yet.” You were smiling because you saw the competitive glow in his dark brown eyes begin to brighten at the very mention of a game. “I just wanted to know if you wanted to play next weekend, that’s all.” Billy was quite the competitor, he always had to be the best—at everything.

He bit his bottom lip and looked down, tilting his glass of bourbon back and forth, you knew he was already strategizing in his head how he was going to win. “I know that look, Billy!”

“What look, baby?”

“Don’t you play innocent with me, I know you’re already thinking about how you’re going to win. Besides, it’s not a sure thing that you’re going to win, I’m a pretty good shot, ya know.”

Billy set his bourbon on the coffee table, the amber liquid moving back and forth in the glass, he pulled you into his lap so you were straddling him and you started to rake your fingers through his soft hair.

He touched his forehead to yours. “I know you’re a good shot, sweet girl. You had a great teacher.” You wanted to wipe that smug look right off of his handsome face.

“Oh and you and Frank can’t be on the same team either.” You said with a warm smile and a wink.

“What?!! If you’re such a good shot, my love, it shouldn’t matter if Frankie and I are on the same team.”

You pointed a finger right into his chest. “Don’t you try to get in my head, Russo. I know what you’re trying to do and it’s not gonna work.”

Wide eyed and grinning like a Cheshire cat, Billy couldn’t defend his actions, he couldn’t hide what he was trying to do but he loved that you knew him so well.

You always knew when he needed a little extra attention, you could tell from his texts if he was in a good mood or a bad one, you could even tell by the way he took his bourbon if he had a good day or bad day. If he had it with ice, it was a good day, no ice—a bad day.

On days he went to visit his dying mother, he always put on his black and blue tie, little things like that you picked up on, you paid attention to him which he still wasn’t used to, but he loved, and if he felt like talking about his day, good or bad, you were there to listen.

Because Billy held a lot inside, the times where he did want to talk, you stopped whatever you were doing to listen, you wanted to encourage him to talk more, to make him feel more comfortable telling you what was bothering him.

Today, however, was a very good day and he was the only one talking at dinner, telling you all about what he and Frank did on assignment today. But he seemed very curious and excited about laser tag. “Well I’m all in for laser tag, baby. I’ll ask Frankie if he wants to do it and bring the kids.”

You lightly clapped your hands together. “Oh yay! This is gonna be so much fun! I’m going to text Ginger right now.”

Billy carefully watched you get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen to get your phone, and he kept his gaze on you until you came back to the couch. He always did that, stared at you with great affection any time you had to step away from his presence.

He was still quiet when you sat down and draped your legs over him. “What? What is it?” You asked him.

Billy inched closer to you, leaning you backwards so your head rested against the arm of the couch and gave you a deep, passionate kiss. “Nothing.” He said shaking his head. “I just…love you.”

You always thought Billy’s beautiful dark eyes were looking straight through you, like he could see everything that was happening on the inside of your body.

The flutters in your stomach that happened any time he looked in your direction, the goosebumps that erupted on your skin when he touched you, and the way your heart skipped any time he flashed you that gorgeous smile. You just had a feeling he could see it all, he loved you so much.

“I love you too handsome—and you’re goin DOWN!” You said with confidence.

He just laughed a little and told you “We shall see, beautiful. We shall see.”

The following week at work was just a competition of who could do the most shit talking. You and Ginger had recruited three more people for laser tag, and Billy asked Frank if he wanted to come and bring the kids. Altogether there were nine people, so you’d split everyone up into three groups of three.

Team 1 would be Billy, Joe, and Frank’s daughter Lisa, Team 2 would be you, Phil, and Frank Jr. and Team 3 would be Frank, Ginger, and Chris. Joe, Phil and Chris were friends of yours that worked in your building.

“Ginger, where are you going? I thought we were going shopping?” You asked after clocking out for the day.

“Oh I can’t! I forgot I have to meet Frank and Chris for a strategy session. Oh and I’m telling Frank that I get the biggest gun they have. The team captain should have the biggest gun.” She stated with conviction.

You started to laugh. “You’re having a strategy session? Also, does Frank know you designated yourself team captain?”

She had a devil like smile on her face when she replied with “No, but he will when he sees my special laser tag outfit I made with a ‘Captain’ patch on it.”

You pinched the bridge of your nose and closed your eyes. “Wait…you made your own laser tag outfit?”

“Of course I did! It’s all camo.”

You nodded your head. “Yep, of course it’s all camo. Ok well have fun strategizing! I’ll see you guys tomorrow for lunch before game time!” You waved goodbye to Ginger as she headed off to meet Frank and Chris.

On your way to lunch, you were thinking about the only strategy you had for the game which was you had picked two of the shortest people to be on your team and made sure that they wore dark color clothing.

You and Billy were both dressed in black from head to toe and even though you loved to see Billy in his nice suits, he looked so good in more casual clothing also. From the black boots on his feet, to the black sweatshirt he had on up top, he’s the sexiest man you’ve ever seen.

“What is it, love?” Billy asked you as he drove.

You bit your bottom lip as you looked up at him and delicately moved your fingers up and down his thigh. “I was just thinking about how handsome you are.” Ok maybe you had another strategy, but he could see through your little head game.

“Uh huh, I know what you’re doing—don’t you bat your eyelashes at me.” He didn’t even give you a chance to turn on the charm, although it didn’t stop him from smiling and blushing. “Nice try, beautiful. It takes a lot more to get in my head.”

You shrugged your shoulders. “Eh, can’t blame me for tryin’ though, right? I do like this look you have goin’ on though, it’s sexy.” You leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Billy parked the car and the two of you made your way inside the restaurant where everyone was waiting for you. Frank’s kids took one look in your direction, got up from their seats and charged at Billy. “UNCLE BILLY!!!!” They had the look of pure joy on their face when they rushed over to hug him, and after they hugged him, they grabbed onto you to give you a hug also.

“Hey y/n! We’re going to beat Uncle Billy and Dad’s teams right?!” Frank Jr. asked wide eyed and animated.

Frank’s daughter Lisa, looked at her brother, rolled her eyes, and told him. “Uncle Billy and I are going to win, Junior.”

Billy adored Frank’s children. “Alright, alright let’s eat so we can go play ok?” Billy said to the kids and ushered them back towards their seats.

As you walked over towards the group, you overheard Ginger say “I just don’t understand why we have to be stuck with Sasquatch over here, no offense Chris but you stick out like a sore thumb and you’re an easy target is all I’m sayin’.”

All Frank could do was roll his eyes. “Does anyone want to change teams? And can we talk about how Ginger made herself team Captain?” He leaned back in his chair with his arms extended out to the sides.

“I have the patch, Frank. I get to be Captain.” Ginger made sure everyone saw her patch.

“You have the patch that you sewed on YOURSELF!! And where did you get that outfit anyway?” He asked.

Ginger loved messing with Frank. “Don’t worry about it.” She said.

You chimed in. “She made it, Frank.”

“Of course she did.” He said with a furrowed brow.

Following lunch, the group made their way to the laser tag arena. It was quite a large facility, you took one look inside and saw all the obstacles, barriers, and flashing lights that were all over the place, this was going to be a lot of fun.

After a couple of employees explained the rules, they led you into the room that held all the vests and “guns.” There was an upstairs area as well as the main floor and the object of the game was to knock players out of the game by hitting all of their sensors. Last team/person standing, wins.

There were sensors on the front of the vest, the back of the vest and one on the gun itself. After a person is hit, their gun is temporarily disabled and will not fire so others have a chance to hit more sensors and/or knock them out of the game.

Aside from a few black lights, the rooms had all the lights turned off so after putting your vest on and helping Frank Jr. with his, you took a walk through the rooms so your eyes had time to adjust to the darkness, the lights on your vest provided a small amount of light when you moved from room to room.

After walking around in the darkness for a couple of minutes, you heard someone call out your name, it was Ginger. “Soooooo they just told me I can’t use my night vision goggles, what’s next? Are they gonna tell me I can’t do a barrel roll?!”

Frank just shook his head. “No barrel rolls, Ginger! We’re trying to win this, yeah?! And how did you get night vision goggles?!” He looked exasperated already, but it just made you laugh harder.

“Your team rules are like prison Frank, ya know that?!!!” Ginger yelled back and giggled. It brought her such joy to harass Frank, it’s probably why she suggested that Billy ask him to come along.

Frank Jr. was wondering why everyone on your team was shorter, you told him it’s a good thing that everyone on the team is shorter, it’s easier to hit a taller target than a shorter one. “So let’s try to take Chris out of the game first, he’s the tallest one here. You ready, kiddo?” Junior nodded in agreement and gave you a hi-five.

Each team started in a different area, your team carefully made their way to other parts of the arena to search for members of the opposite teams, making sure not to bunch together. There were different objects for you to hide behind or take cover behind like, barrels, make shift walls, piles of sand bags.

Starting upstairs, you made sure to remind Frank Jr. to check around corners before moving out, Billy’s military training advice to you, paid off. His sister came rushing around the corner and Junior took out two of her sensors before taking off running and laughing maniacally, leaving Lisa there unable to fire her weapon back at him. “I’m gonna get you, Junior!!!”

You always knew when Ginger and Frank were nearby because they did nothing but argue with each other, Frank would try and get away from her but she would just follow him, mostly just to get on his last nerve. “Ginger, don’t make me take out my own teammate. Or maybe I’ll just take myself out so I don’t have to deal with you anymore, yeah?”

It was so amusing to watch the two of them interact, you didn’t want to give away where you were so you tried very hard not to laugh out loud at their banter.

One thing you knew about Billy was he was very light on his feet, you never heard him coming. It’s how he managed to sneak up behind you and scare you at least once a week when you were cooking dinner or folding laundry. He was stealthy like a cat, planned out his attacks very carefully and he’d laugh every time he got a jump scare out of you.

So you weren’t surprised when you watched him from upstairs, sneak up behind Frank and Ginger and knock out one sensor each on their backs and disappear just as quickly as he appeared.

Phil and Junior found Chris and knocked out all of his sensors all at one time. He tried to hide but he was so tall, he didn’t fit behind anything or couldn’t crouch down low enough to get out of the way of the lasers. He ended up being the first one knocked completely out of the game, so now there were eight players left.

As you cautiously and quietly watched from your perch, you heard a lot of commotion coming from downstairs. Sensors going off left and right, while keeping a close eye on Billy, his silhouette gliding in between obstacles, as he tried to avoid getting hit.

He moved along the bottom of the stairs, pointing his gun up to check for the “enemy” and you observed him start to climb the stairs so you hid behind some stacked barrels. You’d have your chance to stun him when he moved forward to observe what was going on below him.

“You up here, sweet girl? I swept the entire first floor, you have to be around somewhere.” He murmured.

Billy was smart, even though he thought he might be alone, he still kept his weapon close to his chest. You’d have to make these shots count.

He walked out slowly towards the railing and you had a clear shot of the sensor on his gun so you took it. Got him. “Gotcha, handsome!”

With a shocked look on his face, Billy watched you walk around the barrel barrier and over to him, he couldn’t fire his weapon in retaliation for a full 30 seconds. “Oh look at that, I’m winning.” You chuckled and gently brushed his beard with your fingers.

The competitive fire in Billy’s eyes was burning bright, he couldn’t believe you got the drop on him. He hated to lose and would not take it easy on you once he was free to fire his weapon again. “That’s only one, baby. Only one. Care to make a friendly wager?” He couldn’t resist.

And you couldn’t help yourself either, you were on a high from landing your first shot so you grabbed him by the shirt collar and pulled him in for a passionate kiss, quickly let go, and started to back away before he could draw you in close. “If I win, you have to buy me something pretty.”

“And what about when I win, beautiful?” He smirked and wiped the sweat off of his brow.

You pondered for a split second. “You still have to buy me something pretty but I’ll take you to dinner…and I won’t wear any underwear. How’s that?”

Billy lowered his weapon because he couldn’t contain his smile. It took over his entire face and he started to blush. “You got yourself a deal, love. Shake on it?”

You weren’t that stupid, his stun time was almost up and you had to get downstairs quickly. “Oh no, no my love—you’re going to have earn the shots you take at me, no freebies.” Before heading down the stairs, you took one more shot and hit one of the sensors on his chest, you were going to need all the help you could get.

“DAD!!!!” Lisa yelled after her father shot out her last sensor.

Frank was having a blast with his kids. “I’m sorry sweetheart, you know I can’t let you win.”

“Real nice, Frankie. Taking out your own daughter like that.” Billy’s voiced echoed from up above.

Frank pointed his laser up towards Billy and replied. “Yeah and I’m gonna take out my son too, as soon as I can find him! Hey why don’t you come out to where I can see you, Bill?!”

Lisa had hit one of the targets on your chest before Frank hit her last one so you hid behind a pile of sandbags while the stun wore off and Joe had fired the final shot to knock Phil out of the game.

Six players left.

Frank Jr’s strategy, despite what you told him to do, was basically to just run around and see if he could hit any targets which worked well for him until it didn’t. Billy, Frank and Ginger all took shots at Junior as he ran back and forth.

And he continued to run around even after Ginger nailed his last sensor. “You’re out, Junior!! Don’t make me tell your dad!!” She yelled at him as he hurried past her and the announcement over the loud speaker stated that everyone left had one live sensor left except you had two left. And you were the only one left on your team so you knew everyone was coming for you.

Billy wasn’t the only one who could be light on his feet, you managed to sneak up behind Joe and took out his last one so now Billy was the only one left on his team.

“Ginger, what are you doing? It’s two against two, y/n and Bill are the only ones left on their teams, we can win this! I said no barrel rolls!” Frank yelled in typical Frank fashion as Ginger tried to roll from one barrier to another but Billy shot her last sensor on her gun.

“I’m hit!!” She extended her hand to try and get Frank to grab her and pull her to the side and in dramatic fashion yelled “Leave no man behind, Frank! Take my hand!”

Frank crouched down next to Ginger and angrily stated “Great! Now I have to do this by myself.” And no sooner had he said that, Billy knocked out Frank’s last sensor on his lower left side.

“You’re done, Frankie.” Billy laughed, and Frank just threw his hands up in defeat.

You could hear Frank and Ginger arguing with each other all the way back to the holding room.

“If you just stuck to the plan like I told you, we could have won, Ginger.” Frank grumbled.

Of course Ginger had a reply at the ready. “Yeah but how cool did I look when I did my barrel roll? You think anyone got that on video? I’m gonna ask.”

Now that it was down to just you and Billy, you had to figure out how you were going to win this. Outsmarting your boyfriend in combat was going to be difficult, this is what Billy does best.

And during Ginger’s dramatic performance roll, she did manage to hit the sensor on your back as you were running away from her, so you were down to one now also and you needed to get to higher ground before he did.

“You still alive, baby?!” That line from Mr. and Mrs. Smith always made you smile, you shouted it in Billy’s direction and most likely gave away your position, as you headed for the stairs, not knowing that Billy had already made it to the top without you noticing.

You kept your gun close to your vest, the last live sensor was the one on your upper left side so you wanted to keep that one hidden. Stopping at the foot of the steps, you pointed your gun up towards the top and you heard and saw a few laser shots fired down at you and then you heard his voice.

“Come on up, beautiful. I’m waiting.” You could tell he had a sly grin on his face when he said that.

There was another staircase that led to the upstairs on the other side of the arena and maybe since your live sensor was on the front of your vest, you’d be able to get there without getting hit but you wanted to finish this now so with your gun at the ready, you started to climb the stairs. When you made it to the top, Billy was standing in the middle of the area with his gun resting on the ground.

You stared at him with a very puzzled look on your face. “What are you doing, Billy? Why is your gun on the ground?” You took notice of his lone sensor, it was opposite yours on his upper right side. The guns are tethered to the vests so it was just resting on the ground next to him.

“I thought we could settle this duel style, baby girl.” He licked his lips, you could tell he was enjoying this and his cockiness was showing. “Put it down.” He said in a stern, low whisper.

Everyone in the other room watched on the monitors as the two of you stood across from each other. “What are they doing? Why doesn’t she just take him out, he’s unarmed.” Ginger said while pointing at the screens.

“Bill wants to settle this with a duel, it looks like.” Frank said with a little laugh. “He’s fast, but I’ve seen her shoot, she’s quick on the draw too.” He was curious and folded his hands in anticipation of what was going to happen next.

You placed your weapon next to your right foot, Billy studied your glowing white sensor, narrowing his dark chocolate like eyes at you and you knew he was trying to get in your head. “You think you can beat me, baby?” He slowly ran his tongue over his teeth and crossed his arms across his chest.

The smile that spread across your face was hard to control, the heat within your body caused you to blush, and you hated the way he was looking at you but loved it at the same time. This was turning you on and he knew it.

Back in the other room, Frank asked his kids “Who do you think is gonna win?”

Lisa was the first to answer. “Uncle Billy is gonna win.”

“Nah, y/n will win. What do you think Dad?” Junior asked.

“I wanna see y/n win. Your Uncle Billy is too cocky for his own good.” Frank said with a slight smirk.

“What are they waiting for? I’m ready for happy hour!!” Ginger remarked.

“Your call, handsome.” With a smirk on your face, you narrowed your eyes to match his. “Hands up, so it’s fair.” Billy raised his hands to mimic yours.

“We’ll go on three. Ready?” Billy asked.

You nodded and then waited.

Billy counted off. “One…two…three.”

After the word “three,” you each pulled the gun up by the tether, pointed it at each other’s chest and pulled the trigger. His sensor went dark, but so did yours and you weren’t sure who won.

The arena lights turned on and you both shrugged your shoulders. “Who won?” You asked him. “I saw your light go off.” You extended your arm and pointed at him.

“And I saw YOUR light go off. Maybe we have to look at a replay but I think I won.” Billy said with confidence.

“Oh are you that sure of yourself, Mr. Russo? Let’s go find out.” You said as you raced over to the stairs with Billy hot on your heels.

After turning in your gun and your vest, the two of you went into the holding room where everyone else was. Half of them said you won and the other half said Billy did, but you were anxiously waiting for someone to come in with the official results.

“Well, we checked out the footage, it looks like…the two of you hit each other’s target at the exact same time.”

Everyone groaned and demanded to see the footage so they played it and after analyzing it for a good ten minutes, there really was no doubt that both sensors went dark at the exact same time.

Frank’s booming voice yelled over everyone. “Alright, alright, let’s go get a beer and Shirley temple’s for the kids, yeah?!”

They all followed Frank out of the room while you and Billy stayed back for a minute, he wrapped his arms around your waist, pulled you in close and kissed the top of your head. You had your eyes closed as you rested your head against his chest.

“Looks like you get to pick out something pretty.” Billy smiled against the top of your head. “This was a lot of fun. You are definitely a good shot, beautiful.”

Pulling away from Billy slightly, you extended your arms to lightly stroke his beard with your thumbs. “Well, I did have a pretty good teacher.” He had that smug look on his face again. “And it looks like you get to have a nice dinner…on me.”

He leaned forward to look into your eyes. “And?”

You rolled your eyes. “Aaaaaand…I won’t wear any underwear to dinner. Anything else?”

“Kiss me.” He growled with a purr against your ear.

You didn’t hesitate at Billy’s command, looking up at him through your long lashes, you pulled his face back towards yours and delicately pressed your lips against his. He tasted like salt and peppermint.

His hands moved from your waist to cup your face and he deepened the kiss, tangling his tongue with yours but you pulled away before he could lay you down on the couch that was in front of you. You’d definitely be banned from laser tag forever if things had continued. And even though your hair was a mess and you had been sweating from all the running around, Billy still looked at you like you were the most beautiful woman in the world.

“Come on, handsome. Everyone’s waiting.” You kissed him on the cheek.

Billy laced his fingers with yours and led you out of the room, everyone else was waiting at the entrance.

“Where have you two been?” Ginger asked. “Ohhhhhh, I know what you were doing.” She gave the two of you a wink. “ANYWAY!! I already have ideas for our next group outing. Karaoke sounds fun doesn’t it, Frank?!”

She knew she hit a nerve, you could almost see Frank having flashbacks to your birthday party where Ginger entertained the guests with her singing “skills.”

“Absolutely not, Ginger! Nope, not gonna happen.” Frank started to walk ahead of everyone else.

“What about Go-Karts?! We can get racing outfits.” She chased after him.

“No, Ginger.”

“A trampoline park!”

“No.”

“Ok, but seriously we need to talk about my barrel roll. It must have looked really cool, right? They caught it on video and sent it to me, wanna see?!” She asked excitedly.

“We wanna see!!” Frank’s kids said in unison.

“Stop encouraging her!” Frank said with a slight smile. You could tell he had a really good time despite playfully arguing with Ginger. He glanced back at you and Billy, mostly looking at how happy Billy was.

For a long time, he didn’t know Billy was even capable of being that happy and that was all because of you. He thought about how much his kids love their uncle Billy. And with a smirk on his face, his final thought before turning around was maybe sometime in the not so distant future, he would get to be called “Uncle Frankie.”

Frank let out a deep breath and even though he may regret what he was about to ask, he asked anyway. “Alright Ginger, tell me more about these Go-Karts.”

Unintentional Love Story Eps 9 & 10 (Finale) Stray Thoughts

Last time, the truth finally came out, and Taejoon broke things off with Wonyoung in a scene that has really stuck with me because of its intensity. Taejoon accepted the offer from the company to force Wonyoung back into the job as a cruel way to punish both of them. Donghee continues to root for them, but is not receptive to Hotae's advances. Things are kinda sad right now, but I'm really liking how grounded this separation feels.

Episode 9

Glad to see Wonyoung seems to be settling in at work, despite the sneering from last week.

Ah yes, let's hold a pottery class to force another interaction with Taejoon.

I love Donghee. We will fix this relationship!

Is grabbing the other by the scruff their love language?

Nothing like a medical emergency to bring folks back together.

Wonyoung is vibrating with anticipation to help Taejoon again.

I wasn't blown away by the kissing in this so far, but I do want to acknowledge chasing Taejoon's scent in the sweater as soon as he turns around as perfectly romantic and just a bit horny.

"If sparks fly again, I can help you block it." Okay, sir.

"Unrequited love sucks. It really does makes people miserable." Gonna also have to play one of my favorite Babylon 5 scenes now.

I will allow this confession to a sleeping person because of the nature of their current dynamic. I'm also going to allow the shadow kiss on a sleeping person who was pretending to be asleep.

I like the way Koreans enunciate "Christmas Eve." I'm also excited about a Christmas reunion.

That's right, BFF, you tell Taejoon to pull his head out of his ass on this.

Oh no. Donghee's family beat him for being gay. I'm glad Hotae's mom was there to catch him.

Finally, Donghee learns that Hotae has felt this way for a long time.

Wonyoung, please don't read into Taejoon going somewhere with the ex.

I do like Wonyoung refusing his call, though. I think we all need to let go sometimes when people clearly don't like us.

That's right. Tell this thief to fuck off.

You tell him, Wonyoung! If he won't answer your calls or messages, you don't owe him! Give yourself a clean break! You won't be left and read and be expected to root for him to go out with his ex!

Episode 10 (Finale)

Mhmm, look at your life, Taejoon. Look at your choices. What happens when he accepts your rejection? What ya gonna do now?

That's right! Run! RUNNN!

Oh, Wonyoung, I adore you. Truly one of the most earnest boys we've had this year. Seems to be the big trend of the year. Feels like a post-pandemic thing.

Kinda hoped Wonyoung would deepen the second kiss as they made up.

This show just confirmed that Donghee definitely watched Smiley.

We finally meet the friend's wife. We only had her briefly, but I like her.

So the manager used Wonyoung and he was always able to come back? At least this place seems less fucked structurally.

Wonyoung is being bitchy and I love it. Destroy them, sweetie.

Oh good: Wonyoung makes the correct sign for "call me."

I'm also on team Fuck This Job.

I also think we should take advantage of rich boyfriends.

Donghee and Hotae finally making progress in the final 20 minutes.

I'm enjoying seeing Manager Jung cowed.

I like the rings. These two have really grown on me.

Final Verdict: 8.5, Recommended. This show really grew on me in the back half as Wonyoung had a grip on his feelings and clear goals he wanted to pursue. This is probably the most likely a K-drama a BL has felt (@shortpplfedup's description). It didn't gel with me at first, but I ended up feeling fond of all of the characters, and appreciated where they were all coming from. It felt refreshingly adult.

Seven Minutes in Heaven

Toji Fushiguro x Reader.

Please Note: Toji, Megumi, Nobara and Yuji are your classmates. No mentions of Toji as Megumi’s dad, as he is just your classmate for now. So assume Toji is your age and both are your classmates. Otherwise it’s fluff. Images are not mine. Credits to owner: Beesflyy.

You were playing truth and dare with your classmates. It was your free lecture so, Nobara had suggested that. Yuji spinned the bottle and it landed on Megumi. As usual he chose truth because the dare you guys gave were always nasty. Toji too was your classmate who was not involved in the game, he was just busy at reading the book in his hands as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. You had asked him to join you guys but he politely denied. You were a bit disappointed as you wanted him to play. You had a strong crush on him and no one knew about that, including your BFF Nobara.

After many rounds it landed on you and you picked dare. Nobara said, “Seven minutes in heaven with anyone from this class and in a closet.” Hearing her you could only think of one person with whom you would like to do this challenge. You were quite open when it came to your feelings, so you got up from the seat and walked towards Toji. You put both of your arms on his desk, which distract him from his reading and he cocked up a brow. “I wanna do seven minutes in heaven with you. It’s a dare.” Hearing your words his eyes widened a little but a mischievous smirk plastered on his face and he responded, “Sure, why not?”

Hearing his approval, not only you but all your classmates were shocked, as Toji isn’t the type of guy to get involved with random chicks, he always minded his own business and was quite uninterested in other stuff that is normal for teenagers.

You smiled at him and took his hand, guiding him to one of closets. He followed you like a lost puppy. You both were followed by the trio also that they can count exact seven minutes. When you reach the closet, you opened it, it was indeed cramped but you anyways entered first inside followed by Toji. As soon as he got in, Yuji closed the door from behind.

It was very dark inside with only a few rays of light entering through the gap of door frame. Toji was flushed against you almost pinning you down towards the wall by his broad shoulders. He got stiff as soon as you leaned closer and pulled him closer towards you. You hugged him tightly by his neck, he instinctively put his hands on your waist, hugging you back.

Toji: Y/n... May I know, what’s all this now?

Y/n: Fine fine, I’ll tell ya. I love you Toji will you be my boyfriend?

Toji: Y-You.. Who the hell proposes so suddenly and in this way??

He was blushing hard and stuttering, which he never did, all the more reason to like him.

Y/n: I always wanted to ask you out but never had enough courage but today when you agreed to come here with me, I thought I might not get rejected.

Toji: I haven’t said yes yet, so what are you gonna do??

You didn’t give him any chance to talk more and pulled him in for a kiss. Your lips and body collided with his, forming some pleasurable friction. His lips were so soft, that you could easily melt in them. He kissed you back as you deepened the kiss. You licked the scar on his lips which earned a little whine from him. In return he bit your lower lips making you open your mouth as his smooth tongue entered your mouth and started exploring it. Your tongues fought for dominance in which he won later as you mewled his name softly in his mouth. After the intense make out session, both of you pulled away breathless.

Y/n: S-so now what?? Do you agree to be mine??

Toji: P-princess.. I love you too, I always have. Y-you are just so fucking c-cute I can’t help but tease you.

Y/n: I knew it, you could easily say no or have pushed me away but here we are kissing each other. You said chucking as you kissed his cheeks.

Toji: You turn me on Y/n. Your so stubborn at times and bold attitude adds to it.

Saying this he lifted your one leg up and you instantly wrapped it around his waist, grinding on him and pulling him even more closer than before. You both groaned at the sensation. As you both were about to lean in for another kiss, you heard the clicking of door, making you both snap your necks in the direction of light.

Nobara, Yuji and Megumi’s eyes widened at your position as by now you were straddling Toji’s hips. You both instantly pulled apart and blushed red. Nobara squealed while Yuji and Megumi averted their gazes embarrassed. Nobara: So congratulations on becoming a couple, Y/n and Toji. Yuji: You both should get a room already.

Megumi: Yeah he’s right you should!!

Yuji said laughing loudly. Followed by Nobara and Megumi snickering. Embarrassed you gently smacked Yuji on head and gave Nobara and Megumi a glare, while hitting both of their arms, as she dramatically said, “that hurts!” And soon the bell rang indicating the start of the new period as you and Toji both returned to your seats with your thumping heartbeats.

The ride back from Maxwell Greer’s mansion was calm, apart from their brief but spirited car chase. Connor managed to shake the guard’s tail by taking several inside roads. Aimlessly, he drove through the unfamiliar streets of New Orleans. At first, it was to make sure they weren’t being followed. Then, it turned into him getting hopelessly lost. It was a little past 4AM by the time he pulled into the motel parking lot. 

“Well, that was fun. I’m gonna crash,” Jocelyn yawned, sliding out of the backseat to grab her bag from the trunk.

“Aw Joss, I wanted to stay up and paint each other’s nails. Y’know like best friends at a sleepover,” Abel joked as the crew walked side by side to their rooms. 

“Stop calling me that,” she glared back at him. 

“Stop calling you what? Joss or my BFF,” he continued to tease with a shit-eating grin plastered on his face. Jocelyn rolled her eyes, too tired to bicker with the annoying professor on her left. Deciding to quit for now, he shifted his focus to Devon. “You got the room keys?”  

“Yeah, hang on.” She stopped walking to rummage through her backpack. Eventually, she pulled out three key cards, handing two of them to Jocelyn and Abel. “You guys wanna grab a late lunch before our flight tomorrow?”

Jocelyn grunted, her attention focused on trying to unlock her door. “We’ll be there,” Abel answered for the both of them. Devon nodded, unlocking her door, stepping inside with Connor right behind her. 

Their room was modest at best. The walls were a bland shade of beige with a generic flower painting hung up for decoration. A single queen sized bed took up most of the space. They both set down their bags against the wall, not bothering to unpack since they’d only be staying for a couple more hours. “Do you want to wash up first?” he asked, gently taking off her coat from her shoulders to hang up with his. 

“You go ahead. I’ll set up out here,” Devon answered, turning her head to press a quick kiss to his cheek. For their own peace of mind, the couple always brought their own beddings when they traveled. Connor insisted after he spent one evening watching one too many black light videos on YouTube. After replacing the pillowcases and sheets, she sat at the edge of the bed, her mind beginning to wander.

They were one step closer to saving Noah. One step closer to seeing her best friend in the flesh instead of stuck as a shadow. She’s been down this path before- so many potential solutions that always ended up falling short, leaving her heartbroken. Yet, it was hard to tamp down the hopeful feeling she had for this lead. This time felt different. It had to be. 

“You okay?” Her head shot up to see her boyfriend, now in his sleepwear, with a concerned look in his eye. He joined her on the bed, taking her hand in his. 

She anxiously gnawed at her bottom lip, her voice small as she looked up at Connor. “This is gonna work, right?” His eyes softened. Squeezing her hand slightly, his thumb stroked the back of her hand as he thought of what to say. He wanted to agree- but he honestly didn’t know what would happen. The last thing he would do is lie to her. Still, it hurt him to see her so unsure. 

“It could,” he settled with. She let out a faint, humorless laugh, leaning her forehead on his. “No matter what happens, we’re gonna be okay,” he whispered.

“How can you know that?”

“Because I have you,” he stated without hesitation. Her breath caught in her throat, a warm feeling spreading in her chest. Even after five years together, he still managed to have that effect on her. They were so close that she could see the flecks of blue in his grey eyes. She didn’t miss how they flickered down to her lips. The urge to kiss him was overwhelming. Not wanting to stop her, his eyes closed as her lips pressed against his. 

He sighed into the kiss, letting go of her hand to cup her face. A deep groan escaped from his throat as she pulled on his bottom lip with her teeth. Her tongue slid inside his mouth to brush against his. They stayed like that for a while, reluctantly pulling apart only when their need for air became too great to ignore. “I love you,” Devon breathed out. 

“I love you too,” he said, his voice rough, before capturing her lips once more, pushing her down to lie on her back. His mouth trailed across her jaw, moving down to her neck, where he began to suck a mark right below her ear. 

“Watch it. I didn’t bring any makeup,” she tried to protest, but by the way her hands held his head in place, he could tell she wasn’t entirely upset by it. 

He chuckled against her neck, "sorry," he gave her one last teasing bite. “I guess I should find another spot to mark you up then.” His head moved a bit lower. “How about here?” he placed a kiss right below her collarbone. 

“Mmm, I didn’t bring any scarves either."

“Shame. I like kissing you here,” he proved his point by peppering more kisses on her skin, each one more reverent than the last. 

“I think you have a couple of places where you like to kiss me,” she teased.

“You’re right about that,” he hummed against her, the vibrations of his voice tickling her skin. He propped himself up with his arms to gaze down at his girlfriend’s face with pure adoration. “I like to kiss you here,” his tone was gentle as he leaned down to kiss her forehead. “And here,” her eyes fluttered shut as she felt his lips lightly peck each of her eyelids. Small, feathery kisses were placed down her cheeks, then the tip of her nose. “Here’s always a good time,” he laughed to himself, quickly kissing her lips. 

“Connor...” she gasped, a shiver rolling down her spine at his sweet words. 

“I’m not done.” He slipped the sleeve of her shirt down to kiss her shoulder, continuing to praise his lover. “I like how strong you are,” he murmured, kissing a trail down her arm, switching sides to give her other arm the same attention. Lifting her hand to his mouth, he placed a tender kiss to the inside of her wrist. He threaded her fingers with his own, his eyes trained on hers. “I like the way your hand feels in mine.” He slowly lifted her shirt up, making her sit up so he could take it off completely. Reaching behind her, he unhooked the clasp of her bra, sliding the straps off her shoulders. He laid her back down, his eyes filled with a mixture of love and lust. “You’re so beautiful, Devon,” he caressed the side of her face, “in every way.”

“Every way, huh?” she echoed softly, his words making her feel dizzy in the best way.

“Absolutely,” he ran his hands down her sides, “but I think you look best like this.”

“What, half-naked?” she couldn’t help but joke, loving the way his laugh sounded.

“Actually, I prefer you fully naked whenever possible,” he quipped back. Speaking lowly, he added, “it might be easier if I just showed you what I really meant.” He ran the tip of his tongue along the shell of her ear, biting the edge. She whimpered, her body tingling with anticipation. The heat she felt earlier in her chest was now pooling in her core. Mercifully, he took little time to take off the remainder of her clothing and positioned his head between her legs. He sucked on the skin of her inner thigh hard enough that there would definitely be a bruise later. 

“Please,” her hips jerked upwards, desperate for contact. His hands pushed them back down, keeping them in place. 

“Relax, love. I’m not going anywhere,” he placed one final kiss to her thigh before finally moving his mouth where she wanted him most. She inhaled sharply, letting out a shaky breath. Connor flattened out his tongue, slowly making one long stroke up her slit, briefly flicking at her clit before descending back down to tease her folds.

“Oh fuck,” she bit her lip, trying hard to keep herself from crying out. Her legs wrapped around his shoulders as she bucked up against his mouth. His tongue expertly traced patterns that he knew would rile her up. Lifting up his head briefly, he coated his fingers with her wetness, then slid them in her folds, his tongue moving to lightly tease her clit instead. He curled his fingers upwards in search for that spot that always made her scream. He knew he hit it when her hands flew to grip the back of his head, a choked sob escaping her lips. “Oh god, yes!” 

He continued to pump his fingers in and out at a steady pace, his tongue flicking around her clit. The dual sensation made her delirious, the coil inside her winding up even tighter, ready to snap at any moment. “Baby, I can’t- I’m- oh fuck--” she panted out, no longer able to string together cohesive sentences.

He refused to stop, eager to get his girlfriend to come. He looked up so he could watch as she fell apart. Her chest was heaving. One hand clutched the sheets for dear life while the other fondled with her breast. A light flush painted her face. She let out the most sinful noises from her kiss-swollen lips, far too gone to care about how loud she was getting. His cock twitched at the sight- it was the most beautiful thing Connor’s ever seen. Her eyes briefly locked with his before rolling back with pleasure, her body convulsing as she cried out his name over and over. 

He eased her through her climax, continuing to touch her until she jerked her hips away from overstimulation. She could taste herself as he kissed her soundly, his chin wet with his saliva and her juices. It took her a minute before she could open her eyes again. “Wow,” she sighed, her breathing still a bit uneven.

“I’m good, right?” Connor boasted, chest puffed out. Devon gave him a flat look, which would have hurt his pride more if she hadn't still been trembling from the aftershocks of her orgasm. He kissed her temple before retreating to the bathroom, coming back with a damp washcloth. Still sensitive, she whined softly as he placed the cloth between her legs. “I know, baby,” he soothed, trying to be as gentle as possible. He used his free hand to hold hers. “You were so good, love.” She let out a quiet ‘hm,’ her eyelids growing heavy as he took his time to clean her up.

Once he was satisfied with his work, he tossed the cloth in the waste bin. He threw a blanket over his girlfriend before getting under it himself. Instinctively, she nuzzled herself closer to his chest as he rested his chin on top of her head. Her legs tangled with his, ready to fall asleep when she felt something hard against her. Only then did she realize that her boyfriend never got a chance to get off. 

She nudged at his neck with her nose until he looked down. “Babe, what about you?”

He gave her a soft smile, “don’t worry about me.”

“But-”

“It’s late and you’re clearly too tired,” he interjected before she could argue any further. “just get some rest, baby.” With that, he pulled her against his chest once more, ready to fall asleep. 

“Fine,” her words were muffled into his shirt, “but I’m making it up to you tomorrow.”

“Can’t wait,” he mumbled, drifting off into a peaceful slumber.

~the following day~

The group went out for lunch as promised at the local diner. The couple were sat across Abel and Jocelyn, each nursing a large mug of black coffee. 

“I hate you both,” Jocelyn sneered, shooting daggers at them through her eyebags. They at least had the decency to look guilty, genuinely feeling bad that they ruined their friend’s sleep. 

“Our bad, we got... carried away,” Connor apologized, rubbing the back of his neck. Jocelyn scoffed, choosing to sip her coffee instead of hashing out more insults. 

“You guys can try to sleep on the plane,” Devon chimed in. Jocelyn glared back at her, “...or not.”

“I told you we should’ve packed earplugs, Joss. I stayed with them for New Years. They’ve always been,” Abel cleared his throat, “vocal.” 

“You heard us?!” Connor yelped, his cheeks immediately turning red.

“Everyone heard you,” he grinned, taking pleasure at his friend's embarrassment. A small reward for being kept up all night. "I was stuck trying to convince your baby cousin that the sound coming from your room was a dying animal.” 

“Excuse you?! I do not sound like a dying animal,” Devon defended herself, crossing her arms over her chest.

“You’re right. It was more like, -ohh, -ahh, oh God, Connor...” Abel moaned out exaggeratingly, caressing his hand down his chest in mock pleasure. He banged his fists against the table, head thrashing every which way as he continued to shout a string of yes’s in a high pitched voice. 

“Okay we get it! Stop it, man. People are staring,” Connor slid his body lower into the booth, feebly trying to ignore the dirty look the waitress gave their table. 

“Awesome,” he instantly snapped back to his normal self, taking a long sip of coffee. “Remember this feeling before you decide to ruin another federal holiday.”

quick question

if, hypothetically, teru and akane became official boyfriends for a while now and then the grim reaper arc happened (tho minus for the aoikane attempting to kiss part? and teru just interrupted their hugging and emotional conversation?)

i just wonder how terukane would act differently i guess? like would teru mostly stand closely next to akane and sometimes glare(?) at aoi for hurting his bf that badly? and then would akane feel so betrayed that teru didn't tell him about how aoi can't go with them to the near shore since she's dead? would their relationship be strained after the severance but started to mend it during that terukane chapter?

just a hypothetical question

That’s such an interesting question!

I think a lot would be different in the reaper arc if terukane was established. Akane would likely know of his boyfriend patrol in obon and go to him for help, since nene also trusts Teru at this point in the manga, there wouldn't be any protest. They would go with him and very likely 'rescue' Aoi while still on No.6 boundary. 

But, let’s suppose, hypothetically speaking, that Akane doesn’t know his boyfriend is doing patrol, so he still follows Nene to the elevator and gets betrayed by Aoi. I wonder how she would trick him into being stabbed? She might still kiss him (?) but I don’t think so, that scene is full of romance in canon, from the way Akane holds her and she cradles his cheeks, to how he looks at her... Akane wouldn’t let that vibe happen if he was already happily dating Teru.

Using Teru as a distraction might work though, so let's suppose Aoi found something to say that would shock Akane enough to be stabbed, if that happens, I personally don’t think he would drag her to hell? Cause Akane is a romantic fool, he wanted to die with her, he couldn’t let go of his love. While I have no doubt he would still dearly love his best friend, I don’t think he would be able to focus only on her, it wouldn't be an all consuming love. He might get up from pure drive like  “I can’t die yet, Teru wouldn’t like that. But I won't let go of you either. Ever.” and try to knock Aoi out and drag her back to school somehow. He got stabbed tho, so he will faint from blood lost, get smacked by No.6 if he find a way not to... Regardless, he would fail.

But, hypothetically speaking, if he still dragged Aoi to ‘hell’ and Teru saved them, there would be more difference in Akane’s behavior than Teru, cause in canon Akane was genuinely surprised to be rescued, he respected teru but didn’t consider him a person that would go to the depts of the far chore to rescue others, even if he already knew Teru was an exorcist and this is technically his job, so his view on Teru went up in that arc. In this AU they are dating, he wouldn’t be surprised teru is a genuinely good person at his core, he would be expecting to see his boyfriend, openly delighted to see him! It will be kisses as a greeting and a fond 'took ya long enough'

Teru would be more gentle with Akane, poke the wound with his hand instead of his sword, like "you're getting blood on me" and offer his help to climb the rocky terrain. Akane will keep an eye on Aoi since she is his bff and they just had a heart-to-heart (plus the whole supernatural thing is new to her), but he won't be as clingy. At least not with her. Teru will offer to carry him and Akane will go “i’m fine, i can walk by myself” but still lean on him for support when there aren't any monsters to be slayed around.

I can’t picture Teru giving Aoi-chan side glares. He can tell Aoi regrets her actions, and he trusts Akane’s judgment, if Akane forgives Aoi, clearly happy to have worked through some of her problems, Teru won’t hold it against her (It's not like teru isn't familiar with hurting akane when he doesn't know how to handle his issues/stress even if he never went as far as to stab him). Teru also knows she will be left behind on the far shore all alone so he isn’t going to be mean to her, his attitude toward her is similar to normal.

They would still fight when Akane realizes Aoi was left behind, it will be strained but not break, cause Akane does want comfort, and while his trust was betrayed, he can see teru was right to keep the info to himself, if he had said the truth, Akane would have just panic but have no solution to offer.

the "arcade date" chap will annoy/hurt Akane greatly, cause dates with Teru are very rare (busy bastard) and this would put a somber undertone to an activity he usually really treasures. But I think the 'date' with nene's third wheeling would already be enough to smooth the strain of their relationship, cause Akane is ridiculously forgiving to those he love. When they get to the terukane chapter they are already good.

SO's Bookclub: The Stalker

Title: The Stalker Author: Joan Lowery Nixon Genre: YA Mystery

Goodreads Summary: When Jennifer Lee Wilcox returns home from the beach, she finds that Stella Trax, her best friend’s mother, has just been murdered. The police think Stella’s daughter Bobbie did it. Jennifer sets out to prove Bobbie’s innocence, but as she uncovers clues, she realizes she’s only leading herself to danger!

Review: When I was younger, the cover of this book would creep me out. I used to keep it turned over so I wouldn't have to look at it. Honestly, it still creeps me out a bit now. But it's easily the most intriguing part of this book.

I'll be blunt. This book is utterly terrible.

I have to wonder if this was an early manuscript or something - because we're back to the Christina Lattimore style of overwritten descriptions, flat characters, and really awful dialogue and plotting. I just find it so hard to believe that JLN was a creative writing teacher sometimes when she churns out stuff like this... and after her previous books being so much better, this feels like such a backslide.

The story revolves around Jennifer, and her mission to prove that her bff Bobbie did not kill her mother. Setting aside the fact that it's a bit laughable how easily everyone wants to throw Bobbi under the bus with such little evidence, the stretched to the edge of believability is not the worst thing about the novel.

Jennifer is, by far, the worst of the heroines. She is so annoying and whiny; she's obtuse and constantly getting in the way of her own interests; and she's just dumb. I found it really difficult to finish this (rather short) book because everything she did drove me crazy. She was just so unlikable that there was no incentive for anyone to care about her. Oof.

As an aside - I find it interesting that this is the first book not written in the first person. The reason being is that every other chapter is written from the 'stalker's' point of view in first person. It's an interesting idea for JLN to do this - it's the first time she's written someone outside of the main heroine's POV, and I applaud the fact that she tried to be innovative. But the whole thing completely falls flat. The 'stalker' doesn't really do much but utter 'you're next' over and over again. It just comes off silly more than anything.

Anyway... most of this novel is Jennifer doing a piss poor investigation of what was really going on. She teams up with an ex-cop named Lucas, who is trying his best, but my god - he has this idiot to deal with, and it's amazing he doesn't just give up due to Jennifer's incompetence.

There's also a side plot involving Jennifer's long term boyfriend -- Matt? Mark? He's so bland and uninteresting I can't even remember his name. Jennifer doesn't seem all that interested in him -- and the whole point is that she's choosing herself and college over getting married (oh god - we're still doing this whole women has to choose career or love in the mid-80s, aren't we?) but my god, he is just annoying as she is -- constantly trying to pressure her into sex, and telling her to give up on trying to figure out who killed her bff's mom. This guy is such a deadweight in the story.

Most of the other characters are all a bit lifeless. Jennifer has a Granny - we haven't had an older woman caretaker around in a while. And a dad who is dating a younger woman. They float in and out of the story without much to do. Meanwhile, Bobbie is all but absent for most of the book, so we never really get a sense of her. And there are a few others, like Bobbie's brothers and a couple of main detectives who pepper the characters but leave no real interesting impression.

Oh - and the ending doesn't really make a whole lot of sense? All of these books end maybe a smidge too suddenly. But I never really got a solid sense of what was going on that lead to the bff's mom's death. It just feels muddled and not fully realized.

Overall - this was the worst experience yet having to read one of these, and I'm very grateful it's over.

Rating: 2 stars
