— ITADORI YUJI + FUSHIGURO MEGUMI || THEM TRYING TO DO YOUR MAKEUP

↳ featuring : itadori yuji + fushiguro megumi from jujutsu kaisen

↳ warnings : grammar issues

↳ form : headcanons

↳ published : 31 january

↳ pronouns : non specified in headcanon

↳ request : hi can i request a headcanon for megumi and itadori trying to do your usual makeup? they really want to do it well on you but they don't know what to do with all those palettes and brushes? and finally you think it's not that bad or it's a complete disaster on your face ahah, have a good day!

↳ barista’s notes : let me admit, it would be as clueless as the boys since i do not wear any makeup at all like the last time i had makeup on was two years ago for my prom and that was quite simple for a makeup look ʕ ᵒ ᴥ ᵒʔ i rely on my skincare to be honest, but moving on from that, i hope you enjoy your cup of classic black coffee (jujutsu kaisen request!) and come again soon ʕ￫ᴥ￩　ʔ

I’m really not sure how you got to this point where Itadori is trying to recreate your makeup - maybe he was watching you do your makeup or saw you cleaning some of your brushes and asked what you were doing and if he was allowed to try.

He will pick up many things and begin to question what in the world the product is and what it does - I feel like even with you and Kugisaki, this boy will have no knowledge on what makeup even is.

He will also question if you are okay with him doing this since he knows he will do a bad job and he might accidentally damage some of your products - you are fine with it because that Jujutsu Tech money will pay for it in the future.

Itadori will be shocked on how many palettes you have and the many colours that come with it - he is also surprised on how each palette has different uses like why can’t a blush palette be used as an eye shadow one.

Itadori will be clueless on what to start with, so please guide him as best as you can since he will pick up the eyeliner brush to apply your concealer or foundation.

He will ask you so many questions on why you need to use so many makeup brushes for some many different things when you could just use a paintbrush to do the same thing - oh gosh…

When it comes to eyeshadow, Itadori will go all out since there are so many colours to choose from and make a whole rainbow on your eye and it will be a messy rainbow - but he is trying.

Do not ask for him to put on false lashes, he and Fushiguro are still a tiny bit traumatised on how you and Kugisaki just casually pulled them off last time - “how do you still have eyelashes?”

I feel like he will accidentally use red eyeshadow as a blush but he will ask you first - if you use a cream blush, Itadori will be in more confusion on what to even more since it is not in powder form.

Eyeliner will be a whole mess, Itadori is good at fighting with his fist but that doesn’t mean he can keep his hands skill to make a smooth wing liner - he will be shaking.

Itadori will be more confident on the lipstick since all he has to do is place the flat side on your lips and gently coat your lips in the colour he picks - he will try to make sure he doesn’t go over your lip line...TRY to.

Lipgloss is the easiest for him, even though he will ask why it is sticky since it has an applicator - as if concealer doesn’t have an applicator as well….

After that, he will kiss you leading you to moan that your lips are now ruined but he doesn’t care and will kiss you again after laughing for a bit.

Overall, there are two ways the makeup look can go, it can look either really weird since there is a mismatch of colours and your eyeliner is quite wobbly since his hands kept shaking or it can look decent to the point where you are surprised that he was the one that did your makeup - it is a 50/50 risk taker but it is a great laugh to have with him, so thank him for trying.

Unlike Itadori, it was you that asked him if wanted to try to do your makeup and if he refused to, you would beg to make him give it a try since you both were really bored.

Fushiguro will look at your makeup collections with such a straight face because internally in his mind, he is either calculating on how much he thinks you spend or on what the hell is this and how the hell was he going to do this.

Fushiguro is the type of boyfriend that will ask ‘why do you use makeup when you are already beautiful without it?’ but knows that you enjoy doing it, so he doesn’t further question your choice of action.

When it is time to get started on doing your makeup, Fushiguro will know what product to use first - since he has a sister and two female cousins - but doesn’t know what to use to apply the product on your face (I don’t he notices that some products already have an applicator or doesn’t need to use anything to apply)

Fushiguro will be really gentle when applying products to your face and when you tell him to use the makeup sponge to bend out your foundation, he would be worried about hitting your face too hard.

When it comes to eyeliner, Fushiguro will be so carefully because he wants to make this perfect in one go since when he eyes you doing your makeup, he is amazed on how you can gracefully do yours without a worry - from the outside because I know on the inside, you are panicking to make both lines the same.

Like on Itadori’s headcanon, do not ask him to do false eyelashes, he and Itadori are scared of how you and Kugisaki pull them off when explaining the product to them - he is surprised that your real ones didn’t fall out.

When it comes to eyeshadow, Fushiguro will probably use neutral tones to play it safe or dark tones if he is feeling creative and brave - he will ask you for the brush to use and he will have the right one in hand when he does but will also wonder why the hell the palette is so big with so many colours.

He will be smart and use the shadows that nearly his pan but will question if you are ever gonna use the weird yellow that is included since it has not been touched.

Fushiguro will be more confident on the blush and highlight because all you gotta do is to get some of the pigment on the fan and blush brush and just gently brush it against your skin - he will be shocked on how bright the highlight is in the sun and how rosy your cheeks look.

When it comes to lip products, Fushiguro is confused on why there are so many different types since he only knows lipstick like Itadori - in his mind, he is like ‘what the hell is a lip tint?”

And when he applies the lip product he chooses, he will be careful and when the product does go over your lip line, he will grab a cotton bud to clean it off before continuing.

When he puts on the lip gloss, he is really tempted to kiss you but doesn’t because he doesn’t want to get the gloss on his lips - even though it would look really good on him…..force him into a kiss.

Overall, the makeup look is surprisingly well done, everything is blended out neatly and your blemished are concealed well. There will be a few mishaps like your eyeliner and mascara since he was really scaring on poking your eye but the makeup look is really neat and down well - of course, he will avoid kissing you but he can’t escape you since you really want to thank him….hehehe.

⟢ summary: Your boyfriends use their built up excitement post-concert just for you, and like the good girl you are, you take it all.

⟢ an: this was a commission that honestly excited me and i feel like i’m the filthiest person for it, and i know its not even as filthy as other things i’ve written but the amount of smut and pwp is just wow. hope you all enjoy!

After a concert, the energy is always the best. It’s no different after Day 1 of Muster. Everyone is full of excitement and you can’t stop thinking about the Daechwita performance. It went off without a hitch, and your boyfriends couldn’t have done better. They too were happy with the outcome, adrenaline pumping, sweat dripping—it’s something you benefit from.

With your body between Yoongi and Taehyung, you’re feeling the effect of their post-concert excitement in the form of their cocks, thick and long, penetrating you in a sideroom off from the main dressing area the members all shared.

Yoongi sits on the edge of a loveseat, both hands gripping around your waist as he holds you still, eyes focusing on the expressions crossing your face. Taehyung stands behind you, cock stretching your other hole as he thrusts into you with his dominant hand wrapping dexterous fingers around your neck.

Taking turns, your boyfriends use your holes how they like—and like the pretty little ragdoll you are, you let them.

“That’s right princess, be a good girl for Tae and cum on my cock, so he can watch as I clean you up.”

You hum an affirmation, mouth open from the loss of sanity due to how full you felt and how much pleasure they’re giving you. When they’re in control of your pleasure, they always make sure you get off, and then some.

“You heard your boyfriend, cream that pretty little cunt of yours so you can get all cleaned up for me like my good girl.”

As Tae’s cock thrusts shallowly into you and Yoongi’s throbs from where it’s snuggly buried, the fullness of them meeting at the thin wall that separates each hole finally sends you spiralling. Head thrown back in a silent yell, your thighs tremble as the velvet of your walls contract, sucking Yoongi in deeper.

He grunts, working hard to control his own release as he feels the way you grip him, coating him with your nectar. At the same time, Taehyung removes his grip from your neck, allowing all of the air to rush back into your lungs leaving your head dizzy in ecstasy.

Tae removes himself from inside of you, peeling off the condom and tossing it into the nearby trash can. You hear him run the tap, using a clean stage towel to get as much of the latex off his cock for you as Yoongi lays your back onto the couch.

“That’s it princess, open up, let me see how messy you are...” he growls, voice laced with arousal. “Can’t wait to taste you, baby.”

Placing his hands on your knees, Yoongi licks a slow stripe up your folds, nose dragging along your honeypot for additional teasing. Your body jolts from the stimulation and you mewl to let him know how you feel.

“Nuh-uh, princess,” Yoongi’s hand meets your thigh with a sharp spank in reprimand, “use your words. You know your boyfriends need to hear you.”

“Yes, sorry, Daddy,” you pant and he grins at you, his glistening chin on display.

“Hyung, she’s not gonna be able to be vocal soon, not once I start fucking her mouth.” Taehyung chuckles, eyes dark in desire as he stares down at your naked body with Yoongi’s mouth resettling over your clit to swirl his tongue.

Wasting no time in silencing you, Tae lifts his leg to straddle your face and taps his bare cock against your bottom lip. You present your tongue to him. Feeling the weight of his cock on the wet muscle, you wrap your lips around him, swiping your tongue across his slit and a sense of pride overcomes you when you see the way he shivers from your ministrations. You hollow your cheeks allowing Tae to control the speed as he face-fucks you, working hard to not let how good Yoongi is eating you stop you from pleasing the younger of the two.

When Yoongi adds two fingers to your heat, you squirm beneath him, a moan vibrating Taehyung’s length where he presses the tip to the back of your throat in search of heightening pleasure.

“That’s it baby, swallow, let me see how well you take me in every hole.” Tae feels his balls constrict as you follow his directions, and moments later he’s emptying his load onto your tongue.

“Show me.” His voice is gravely; demanding.

You love it.

“Keep telling her what to do, Tae—the way she just clenched on my fingers...” Yoongi’s lips slide across your gushing core as he speaks, and you can’t deny what he says is true.

Opening your mouth, you show Tae his release so he can lean down and kiss you, tasting himself on your tongue as he enjoys the feel of your swollen, red lips against his. Tae sits up, his cock still half hard as he grabs your tits, pushing them together as he fondles them.

Lining up his cock, he begins to tittyfuck you, the last of his cum leaking down the fleshy skin of his tip and onto your chest.

“Daddy, please can I cum?” you beg, voice rising an octave the longer that Yoongi worships your pussy.

“Not yet,” he rasps, eyes blown out from watching you wriggle under his control, “you know better, princess. If you cum now, you can’t cum on Daddy’s cock.”

Whining, you look up at Tae who’s losing himself in fucking your breasts, hands enjoying the soft mounds filling his palms, murmurs of praise for your body dripping like sweet honey from his mouth.

Without a word, Yoongi removes his face from between your thighs and replaces his tongue with his erection in one swift plunge. You push your hips forward, taking him in deeper as pulls back to continue at a swift pace. He shoves Tae, who wordlessly rotates his body so that he’s fucking your chest from the top down, scrotum positioned over your mouth.

You tongue at the hanging sack, enjoying the way his baritone turns breathy when he lets out a moan.

“Fuck, isn’t her body perfect?” Yoongi asks Tae, who agrees.

“Our kitten is perfect, takes us both so well.”

“Always ready for us too,” he grunts with a particularly deep thrust, “let’s us have our way… Gonna fill this perfect cunt up, right princess?”

“Please Daddy, want you to—”

“Cum for me now, so you can squeeze me dry, wanna feel you—”

Crying out their names, you shatter, allowing the shockwaves to dispel themselves once they reach your extremities. Juices mingling with Yoongi’s he pulls out to watch the way he leaks from you, and a satisfying feeling settles in his chest as he looks at your swollen cunt with pride.

“That's my girl,” Taehyung purrs from where he’s kneeling by your head, smoothing wild tendrils of your hair. “You did so well, baby.”

“She did,” Yoongi says as he adjusts his positioning to slither back between your legs.

“Y-Yoongi...” you mewl, unsure if you can do it again.

“Princess, is that any way to talk to your Daddy? Now that’s one for Tae, one for you, and now.. This one's for me.”

The Grill Next Door

A collaboration by @mdelpin and @oryu404

Gratsu Week 2021 Prompt(s): Impress, Smile, Smokey Pairing: Gray x Natsu

AO3

Summary: Natsu had to repress a loud snort when he caught his first glimpse of his neighbor. The guy was dressed in only a pair of black boxers, his fair skin slick and shiny from the thick layer of sunblock he had applied. His back had white streaks and missed spots all over it from where he hadn’t been able to distribute it evenly, and some of the lotion was sticking to the dark hairs on his neck.

But the absolute worst thing of all was that he obviously had no idea how to use a barbeque properly.

0-0 Summer was arguably the worst time to be moving. Who in their right mind would want to spend all day inside unpacking boxes when it was 90 degrees outside? Definitely not Natsu, and yet here he was, dragging another box full of stuff up the stairs in his new home. He was grateful for his friends, who had been there when he’d gotten the key and helped him clean the house, paint some walls, and install the larger pieces of furniture. But now that there was only the smaller clutter left, he was on his own, and he was missing out on all the summer fun. His friends were all enjoying themselves without him; spending their free time at the beach or the pool, barbecuing in their yards, raiding the ice cream parlor… “Soon…” Natsu sighed to himself. Soon, he could join them again. He just had a few more boxes filled with necessary items to go.

He’d already unpacked the ones filled with kitchen utensils and Happy’s stuff. All that was left were his toiletries and a few clothes. He’d sort through the rest of his crap bit by bit, one or two boxes every night until he was done. That way, he could still get the most out of the vacation days he'd pulled out for moving. He opened the box he’d brought upstairs with him and groaned; of course, he’d grabbed the wrong one. Instead of towels and shower products, he was looking at some of the housewarming gifts he’d gotten. A key hanger from Lucy, because he was always losing his keys. A baking set from Erza, which Natsu had to admit was the most optimistic gift he’d ever gotten, and a cute houseplant from Wendy, carefully wrapped up in brown paper, with wet paper towels to keep the soil moist.

There were a few more small gifts, but Natsu’s attention was drawn to the flat package at the bottom. More specifically, to the image that was on it, giving away what was inside: a bright pink flamingo kiddie pool. “So you can have a pool in your backyard!” Sting had grinned when Natsu unwrapped the gift. It was obviously a gag gift, and at the time, Natsu had seen the humor in it. He’d even joked that he’d call Sting for a pool party once he was all settled in, but right now, it only fueled his longing to do something fun. Actually… Screw unpacking, he’d do that later. One look through the window, at the bright blue sky and the burning sun, was all it took to finalize his decision. He picked up the box and took it downstairs again, quickly watering the plant before it could die in the summer heat, and putting it on a windowsill. Leaving the rest of the box’s contents for now, he took out the inflatable pool and started digging through one of the other boxes in search of his swim trunks.

He’d done enough for today. He was going to sit in his backyard and enjoy his stupid pool, damn it. Once he’d changed into his swimwear, he applied a thin layer of sunblock he’d found during his search for a towel. He went outside with the pool under his arm, sticking his foot out when he slipped through the sliding door to keep Happy from sneaking outside.

“Sorry buddy, you can’t go out yet,” he apologized, knowing that it was for the best.

They'd only moved in a few days ago, and Happy needed to get used to his new home. If he were to run away, he'd get lost trying to find his way back to their old apartment, and the last thing Natsu wanted was to end up like Rogue, who had spent all night frantically searching for Frosch when he had just moved in with Sting and failed to shut the front door behind him fast enough. Still, Natsu couldn’t help but feel guilty at the sight of Happy pawing at him from behind the glass. Maybe he could get him a cat leash tomorrow, so he could at least explore the backyard safely. One thing was for sure, he’d definitely give him some of his favorite fish treats to make up for a few hours of sitting alone inside. With that in mind, he smiled and took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh summer air and the delicious smell that came along with it. It was one of his favorites, and he instantly recognized it. One of his neighbors was grilling in his backyard. Too curious for his own good, Natsu followed the scent. His nose told him it was coming from the house to his left, from the backyard that was only separated from his by a tall wooden fence. Tall, but not tall enough to keep Natsu away. He was just able to peek over the top if he stood on his tippy toes.

He wanted to get an idea of who was living next to him, that’s all. Okay, and maybe he wanted to live through them a little as they indulged in one of his all-time favorite summer activities. \

Natsu had to repress a loud snort when he caught his first glimpse of his neighbor. The guy was dressed in only a pair of black boxers, his fair skin slick and shiny from the thick layer of sunblock he had applied. His back had white streaks and missed spots all over it from where he hadn’t been able to distribute it evenly, and some of the lotion was sticking to the dark hairs on his neck. But the absolute worst thing of all was that he obviously had no idea how to use a barbeque properly. “You know, your food is going to cook more evenly and taste a lot better if you close the lid,” Natsu suggested, bursting out in laughter when the guy jumped and almost dropped his tongs. “Idiot!” He whirled around and glared at Natsu, waving the tongs in the air as he stomped closer. Damn! This guy was actually pretty cute when he was mad.

"I almost burned myself. What were you thinking?!"

"That you weren't doing those ribs the justice they deserve," Natsu retorted, frustration rising within him once he managed to tear his eyes away from his half-naked neighbor and focus back on the grill. All that delicious aroma-filled smoke that would've added so much flavor to that gorgeous meat was getting away!

It was a fucking crime.

"Pay attention to what you were doing, you jackass! You gotta flip them over!"

The guy quickly returned to his grill to tend to his ribs, cursing as he fumbled with the tongs while trying to keep a safe distance between the searing heat of the barbecue and his own bare ribs.

"Man, you really suck at this," Natsu couldn't resist pointing out.

"Oh, and I suppose _you _could do better?"

In all honesty, Natsu was a terrible cook. He lacked the ability to multitask in the kitchen, always made an enormous mess, and often combined ingredients that his friends insisted should never be combined.

However, cooking and grilling were two completely different things to him. His dad had taught him how to cook meat on an open fire or a makeshift grill during camping trips since he was little, and he had it down to a fine art by now.

"You're damn right I can," he scoffed, taking the question as a challenge and being kind enough to climb over the fence and invite himself to his neighbor's backyard so he could show him how it was done.

"What are you doing?!"

"Saving your meat, of course! Move over."

Too stunned by what was happening, the guy didn't protest when Natsu snatched away the tongs. He just watched with his mouth open as Natsu flipped the ribs and set the grate to a higher level, making sure they'd cook slower. And much to Natsu’s amusement, it wasn't just the grill he was staring at.

Satisfied with his intervention, Natsu closed the lid and stepped back. "There, that should do it!" he grinned, putting the tongs down on a plate on the nearby table so he could hold out his hand in greeting. "I'm Natsu, by the way. I just moved here last Wednesday."

"... Gray," his neighbor replied, frowning warily but still accepting Natsu's hand and shaking it briefly. "Do you always stick your nose into other people's business like that?"

“Just wait, you’ll be thanking me soon enough.” Natsu said, amused by his neighbor's grumpy tone. “Anyway, you should be fine as long as you leave the lid closed for about an hour.”

“An hour?” Gray complained, “I thought grilling was supposed to be faster.”

“I mean, do you want fast, or do you want good?” Natsu drawled suggestively. He wasn’t sure if it was the beautiful weather or just the high he felt from having had a hot guy so obviously checking him out because normally he wasn’t much of a flirt, but he felt the urge to test the waters. “Cause I could show you both.”

Gray surprised him by laughing heartily at his innuendo. “There is seriously nothing subtle about you, is there?”

“Nope.” Natsu agreed and laughed along. “Well, it was nice to meet you. I’ll leave you to your grilling, gotta go set up my pool.”

He climbed the fence to get back into his yard, hearing Gray yell behind him. “You’re going to get yourself killed. Just use the gate next time.”

“But then, how could I show you my best asset?” Natsu retorted once he was safely over, chuckling as Gray muttered something he couldn’t quite make out. He wasn’t too worried, though. After all Gray had said next time.

0-0

Gray looked back at the grill, already tempted to open the lid and check on the ribs. What was he supposed to do for an hour? He’d mowed the grass earlier, and he didn’t feel comfortable staying inside while the grill was going.

The sun felt overly hot on his skin and he found shelter under a tree in his backyard. Playing on his phone had netted him ten minutes of entertainment and two group conversations he wasn’t all that interested in.

Maybe Natsu did know what he was talking about because the smell of the ribs cooking was making his mouth water in ravenous anticipation. Thinking about his new neighbor brought a smile to his face, especially since he heard odd noises coming from the other side of the fence. Didn’t he say something about a pool?

With all this time to kill, maybe he should go return the favor and see what he was up to.

With that in mind, Gray walked over to the fence and peered over it, unable to hold back a snort when he saw Natsu sitting on the ground and puffing air into a pink flamingo-shaped pool.

"Wow, I guess you really are full of hot air."

Natsu looked up at him, flashing that grin Gray was quickly developing a weak spot for. "So you think I'm hot?"

Yes, he sure as hell did, but he wasn’t about to give Natsu the satisfaction of saying so. At least... not yet.

“I think you’re having an awfully hard time blowing, which is… disappointing.”

"Huh. Never had any complaints before." Natsu shrugged, returning his attention to blowing air into the flamingo.

“Why don’t you let me show you how it’s done?” Gray said, feeling confident.

God knows he’d blown up a ton of these things for his brother’s kid. He’d quickly learned there was a little trick to it. You had to squeeze the valve as you blew into it or the air wouldn’t get in properly. Clearly, his hot dumbass of a neighbor didn't get that.

“You want to show me how well you blow?” Natsu tilted his head, looking amused by Gray’s suggestion. “How can I say no to that?”

Gray let himself into Natsu’s backyard, using the gate that connected their properties, like a normal person, and grabbed the pool away from Natsu. Using his trick, he quickly filled both rings of the pool.

“Color me impressed.” Natsu whistled in appreciation once Gray set the pool down on the grass. He filled it with water from the hose, which he oh so charmingly put between his legs, giggling to himself as he swung it around.

How the guy could go from flirting to acting like a five-year-old within the blink of an eye was beyond Gray, but he had to admit that it was oddly endearing.

Natsu jumped in with both feet as soon as the pool was filled, watching with glee as water sloshed out onto the grass from his efforts. He sat down, stretching his legs out in front of him, and immediately propped his arms around the pool’s rim.

“That feels so much better!” Natsu moaned happily.

Now that Natsu was inside it, Gray couldn't help but notice that the pool could fit two people, albeit a little snugly considering their size. And though normally he wouldn't be caught dead in one of these things- especially a pink flamingo one- it was a very hot day, and Natsu’s yard was a lot shadier than his.

"You want in?" Natsu asked, his lips stretching into a mischievous smile.

Gray’s eyes were drawn to the slightly pointy canines, finding them incredibly sexy, and he immediately wondered what kissing that mouth would feel like as Natsu patted the empty spot next to him invitingly.

What had gotten into him? He’d just met the guy, knew next to nothing about him, yet here he was acting like a hormone driven teenager. It wasn’t like him at all, but he couldn’t deny the chemistry that sizzled between them, so palpable he could almost touch it.

Besides, what was wrong with having a little fun? It was summer, and he had been in a bit of a dry spell for months.

That thought decided him.

“I suppose I could join you for a bit.”

He had just stepped one foot inside the pool when, to his surprise, Natsu stopped him. “Hang on a minute. I didn’t say you could come in. I only asked if you wanted to.”

“If you want in-” Natsu winked at him. “It’s gonna cost ya.”

“Cost me?” Gray sputtered in protest. “You can’t be serious.”

“Dead serious. I will be more than happy to share my pool with you on this incredibly hot day, but only if you share some of those ribs with me.”

Gray had already been planning on doing that, but it was infinitely more fun to make Natsu work for it.

“I don’t know,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck, which only netted him greasy fingers from the sunblock he’d slathered on earlier. “It seems to me like you’re getting the better end of the deal here. This is just a kiddie pool after all.”

“Alright, you drive a hard bargain, but I can respect that. How about this then? I’ll throw in some of my world famous special sauce.”

“World famous?” Gray scoffed, “It’s probably just something you picked up at the grocery store, but… okay, I’ll bite.”

“You promise?” Natsu gave him a cheeky smirk, one that ignited a need in Gray to get in that damn pool right the hell now and show him what he intended to do.

“You’ve got yourself a deal,” Gray said. “Just don’t complain if it ends up being more than you bargained for.”

Gray was so determined to get in there that he completely forgot he was already partly in the pool, and tripped over the edge when he tried to step in. He caught himself with his hands but still ended up splashing Natsu, not to mention had the wind yanked out of his sails.

He looked up to see the damage. The water had darkened Natsu’s pink hair and flattened it against his face, softening his features and somehow making the bastard look even more attractive. Gray watched in rapt fascination as a drop of water traveled from Natsu’s cheek, joining others on its way down his neck and over his chest until rejoining the rest of the water at waist level.

“You’re right,” Natsu laughed loudly, slicking his hair back and away from his face. “That was definitely more than I bargained for. Nice entrance, by the way.”

Gray was utterly mortified, and he scrambled to sit down, desperately trying to come up with a witty comeback, but before he could say a word, Natsu had already splashed him.

“There you go. No need to make that face. It’s a pool. We were going to get wet, eventually.” Natsu shrugged, his expression gradually changing to distaste as he looked at the water.

“Dude, what did you use for sunblock, SPF lard?”

“I burn easily!” Gray protested, smoothing out the bits of sunblock he could see on his skin.

“Yeah? Then maybe you should actually get it on all of your skin. Turn around.”

“It’s hard to reach back there! Besides, you just want an excuse to get your hands on me,” he argued, but did as he was told anyway, turning his back to Natsu.

“Yeah, that’s the idea. Are you complaining?”

Gray pouted but remained silent.

“That’s what I thought.”

It was hard to miss the smug tone in his voice.

Natsu’s hands spread the globs of lotion evenly across his back, occasionally stopping to knead on one of his muscles and then concentrating on his shoulders. Gray closed his eyes, biting his lip so as not to let on how much he was enjoying it. If this was what he got in exchange for some barbecued ribs, he'd love to know what other types of food Natsu liked.

“There you go.” Natsu said, giving his shoulders one last squeeze. “You can turn around now. It should be safe for you to walk in daylight again.”

Gray turned just in time to see Natsu lean back into his previous position.

“Are you implying I'm some sort of vampire? Cause I’m not the one with the pointy teeth.”

“No, but you are the one who offered to bite me.”

“True.” Gray laughed, and not wanting to lose the mood, he made his move, adjusting from a sitting position to a half straddle. He leaned in, close enough that he could feel the slight puff of Natsu’s breaths on his face as he murmured, “I can still make that happen.”

“You talk too much.” Natsu said just as quietly, peering into his eyes for a split second before closing his eyes and bridging the distance between them.

Gray hadn’t expected Natsu’s body to feel so warm against his, especially considering they were both wet from the pool water, and he instinctively pulled him closer. As arousing as the kiss was, and Natsu sucking on his tongue was definitely doing things to him, he realized he had no urge to push for more.

That should have been his first warning.

But he wasn’t really thinking about anything. His world had narrowed down to sensations. The torrid heat of Natsu’s mouth, the sharp sting of teeth nibbling on his lips, and the tingling pleasure of his hair being tugged, coupled with the sounds they were both making. Needy moans that would have embarrassed him if Natsu hadn’t sounded the same.

Gray liked it all a little too much. Already, the thought of separating filled him with a sense of dread. And perhaps that should have been his second warning.

He was busy running his hands up and down Natsu’s back when he felt him let go of his hair. His hands trailed down to his chest, but no lower, and he pulled away, leaving Gray to chase after him. Confused and more than a little disappointed, Gray opened his eyes. Natsu sat perfectly still, his eyes slightly widening as he sniffed the air. “THE RIBS!!!” Oh crap! He’d forgotten all about the ribs!

“Go open the lid,” Natsu urged, scrambling to get up and out of the pool. “I’ll be there in a few minutes with the sauce.”

Gray watched Natsu enter his house and then hurried over to his yard. The food smelled even better than before and when he opened the lid and poked the ribs with the tongs; he saw they were indeed done, the meat tender and ready to fall off the bone. Rather than stand around waiting awkwardly, he grabbed two beers from his fridge along with plates, napkins and utensils to bring outside.

He opened the sliding door that led to his backyard and found Natsu brushing sauce onto the ribs from an unmarked blue bottle. There was a content smile on his face as he worked away, and Gray felt a flutter in his stomach at the sight.

Shit!

He’d never been one for one-night stands, so why had he thought he’d just be able to go along this time? Because Natsu was hot and seemed willing?

Gray wanted to know more about him, but he wasn’t sure if Natsu felt the same way or if this was just a game he liked to play. What would happen if he played along to its inevitable conclusion? Would that be the end of it? The two of them- probably awkwardly- moving on as just neighbors who happened to have hooked up?

Was it wrong of him to want more?

Natsu looked up then, waving at him and gesturing him over. His smile widened when he noticed the beer bottles Gray was holding.

“Ooh, beer wasn’t part of the deal! I must have kissed you real good!” Natsu teased, accepting the bottle and easing some of the uncertainty Gray had felt about whether things would turn awkward after their make-out session in the pool.

“You’ll notice this is only domestic beer, so I wouldn’t get too full of myself if I were you.” Gray retorted, still playing along.

“Meh, beer is beer, and it goes great with ribs.”

“I’m going to pretend you didn’t just say that.”

The back and forth was nice, but Gray was itching to ask what was really on his mind.

Can I keep you? Or will you run off after the next pretty face that strikes your fancy?

The lid of the barbecue closed again, and Natsu walked over. “They should be ready in about five more minutes.”

He clinked bottles with him and took a swig. Gray followed suit and decided to just go for it. He’d rather know what to expect than hope for something that wasn’t meant to be.

“Hey, can I ask you something?” he blurted out, sounding a bit more eager than he would have liked.

“Sure, shoot.”

Natsu gave no sign he knew what was coming, or at least that’s what his relaxed posture seemed to broadcast.

“Do you do this kind of thing often?”

“Moving? God, no, I hate it with a passion. Might as well bury me here cause I’m never doing it again.”

“No,” Gray frowned. “That’s not what I meant.”

“I know.” Natsu mock sighed, “I’m just trying to think of an answer that won’t go to your head.”

“What?” Gray didn’t know what to make of that answer. Was he trying to find a way to let him down gently?

“No, I don’t do this type of thing often.” Natsu admitted, meeting Gray’s eyes and holding his gaze. “Look, you’re hot and turned out to be fun to mess with, so I figured there was no harm in seeing where that led. But I’m not expecting anything if that’s what you’re worried about.”

Gray wanted to ask if that meant that he’d like to date, but to his chagrin, all that came out of his mouth was, “You think I’m hot?”

“See?” Natsu said, sounding amused. “What’d I tell you? Right to your head!”

He put his beer bottle down on the table and traded it in for the tongs and the plates before hurrying back to the grill to check on their food. Satisfied, he turned it off and heaped a large serving of ribs onto each plate.

Gray followed him to the table, only then noticing the sliced watermelon Natsu must have brought with him from his house. He bit into one to buy himself some time to organize his thoughts.

Next to him, Natsu had already begun to dig in, messily devouring the ribs, stopping only long enough to take a sip from his beer. Gray shrugged and did the same. It wasn’t like his table manners were anything to write home about, either. The moment the meat from the ribs touched his tongue, his taste buds were assaulted with flavor. Sweet, salty, spicy… all blending together in perfect harmony. It was by far the best ribs Gray had ever tasted. He could hardly believe they’d come off his grill. He glanced at Natsu admiringly. Not that he noticed, focused as he was on his plate.

“So, what other things can you make?”

Natsu looked up at his question. There was a glob of sauce at the corner of his mouth, driving Gray all sorts of crazy with the urge to kiss it off him, but he held strong.

For now.

“Sorry to disappoint you, but this is it. I can’t cook worth a damn.”

“That’s too bad.” Gray tried but failed to suppress a smile. “Guess I’ll just have to show you all the best places to eat around here, then. You busy tomorrow night?”

Natsu shook his head, breaking into a smile so blinding it wiped every single thought out of Gray’s head. Save one.

"Nope, I'm all yours," Natsu answered after what looked like a brief moment of contemplation.

Gray sure as hell liked the sound of that.

“There’s just one thing…”

Natsu tilted his head and scrunched up his nose in silent question, which was just perfect.

“You’ve got a little something there,” Gray said, leaning in and licking the sauce off before claiming Natsu’s lips hungrily.

The kiss tasted like sauce and beer, but most of all, it tasted like more. And more was definitely bound to follow soon, tomorrow night, and many more days after.

Gray could feel it.

Walking Space Heater

Word Count: 2700+ (oneshot)

[AO3]

Genre: Fluff/Hurt/Comfort

Characters: Cinder Fall, Neopolitan, Emerald Sustrai, Mercury Black

Pairing: Cinder Fall/Neopolitan

Summary: Written (late) for Day 4 of @spice-cream-week 2021, “There Was Only One Bed.”

With the heat of both her Semblance and the Maiden powers, Cinder's body is much warmer than the average person's. So long as she's still by her side, Neo intends to take full advantage of that.

~0~

This is definitely a step down from the Haven dorms. Neo’s thumbs moved lightning-fast over the keyboard of her Scroll. Don’t they have ANY concept of personal space here?

She could say something about Roman’s excessive use of emojis. But looking at his messages, she could hear his laughter clearly in her head, and she had no problem with that.

wtm? you got stuck with a shitty roommate? I’ll come and get her for you idgaf

That elicited the breathy noises that were the closest Neo got to laughter. Truthfully, she probably wouldn’t have minded sharing a room much in and of itself. It might even have been fun to mess with Emerald and Mercury in their own space.

But no, she’d ended up with the only one that made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.

Cinder Fall was calm, collected, and incredibly competent. Neo didn’t necessarily dislike her. She thought that they got along fairly well, in fact. But that didn’t mean that she trusted her.

Roman was content to stay in the dark about what exactly her ultimate design was beyond Beacon’s destruction, having already accepted the fact that they would be overwhelmed by it. It still gnawed at Neo, though. Thus far her only clues had been the couple private calls that Cinder had taken, and the way Haven’s headmaster cringed like a kicked puppy whenever he caught sight of her.

Sure, the man was jumpy enough in general, but Cinder — or, more accurately, whatever force had moved Cinder to the Academies — made him cower. Even Neo’s most devilish smile couldn’t do that.

She’s...not bad. She definitely likes me more than she likes you.

Now, did that really require five laughing emojis after I can live with that lol?

And

Neo’s thumb hovered over the screen. For the first time in several minutes, she glanced up from where she was curled up tightly on the covers of her bed.

Cinder was perfectly at ease on her own bed, leaning back against a stack of pillows with her Scroll open in front of her face. Still rifling through the records of all the Academy students, no doubt. Casting her great and bloody show, for which every little thing had to be perfect. It wasn’t enough that she was sending Emerald and Mercury out to run recon and collect as many relevant details about their players as possible. No, she had to study up herself for hours on end.

Neo was willing to play her own part, but it all seemed very boring to her. Certainly her interim leader could use a break. She returned her attention for one moment more to her Scroll:

I think she would be fun to play with.

Ignoring the several question marks sent in reply, Neo pocketed her Scroll and slipped off her bed. Moving soundlessly was one of the first skills she had ever had to master, and she still considered it her most important.

Cinder was still too engrossed in her research to notice as she crept across the carpet and climbed onto the other bed. Or maybe she just didn’t care enough to acknowledge her. She certainly didn’t look surprised when Neo’s head poked through the hole between her arms and her Scroll.

“Oh,” she said, smirking, in a tone that she might use with a stray cat that had come up to her in the street. “Hello there. Looking for some entertainment?”

Neo gave her her best strawberry-ice-cream smile, and scooted closer. From the meager rations of physical contact she meted out to Emerald, she wasn’t sure how much Cinder liked being touched, so she proceeded with care, little by little. It seemed to be acceptable: she stayed very still, but allowed Neo to settle down on her chest, resting her head against her shoulder.

“Or are you just lonely?”

Neo hummed thoughtfully, letting herself relax: not all the way, but just enough. This was nicer than she had expected, she had to admit. Cinder was dressed like she had been in the first round of the Vytal Festival: sleeveless jacket, long pants, and sarashi. Neo’s cheek rested mostly on bare skin, and though of course she had seen Cinder’s Semblance before (as well as the flames that didn’t quite seem to fit with it), it was much warmer than she had thought it would feel. Softer, too, with the scents of wood smoke and spicy perfume clinging to it.

“Well?”

Neo rolled lazily over onto her back, looking up at Cinder’s Scroll to see what she had been so busy scrutinizing. Hm. Several pictures of that Mistrali girl from the cereal commercials, accompanied by a passage about her Semblance which had been highlighted in a few places. There was one more tab open with an acronym on it, but that was it.

Nothing that could tell Neo anything about their situation that she hadn’t already guessed at. And what was more, absolutely nothing that could be more interesting to her temporary partner than her.

Clearly, Cinder could use a lesson on how to properly spend an evening. Dastardly planning, which seemed to be her only form of recreation, just wasn’t going to cut it.

So Neo helpfully reached up, laid her hands over Cinder’s, and pushed the Scroll shut for her. She put her pointer finger to the outside of her nose; her new teammates might not be picking up Valerian Sign Language particularly well, but she hoped the long, exaggerated twist away from her face coupled with a dramatic sigh got the message across equally well: Cinder, I am bored to tears.

Cinder tilted her head, puzzled but smiling. She slipped her Scroll into her pocket and wrapped an arm around Neo’s waist.

“Well, in that case, I’d be happy to give you some attention.”

Neo made as pleased a sound as she could muster up, and snuggled up to Cinder, as close as she could get. It might have been dark and cool outside, but she felt as if she were napping on a sunbeam. Rolling over to lay her head on Cinder’s chest, she could imagine that there was a powerfully burning fire inside it in place of a beating heart, whose heat was palpable, just beneath the skin.

She tried to look more sweetly smug than actually impressed, but gods, she had never felt anything like this.

Cinder held her tightly in both arms now, fingertips scratching lightly between her shoulder blades, and Neo nearly purred. Years of pulling back bowstrings had turned those arms wiry and oh so strong. All at once, she completely understood why Emerald was always trying to earn one of these rare hugs.

And speaking of which...

Neo wasn’t sure how long she spent in the lap of luxury, only that she felt like she might actually fall asleep in it, as toasty warm as it was. Cinder had switched from rubbing her back to stroking and playing with her hair, which, in her experience with other people, was a welcome first. But she was jolted back to full awareness when their dorm room door slammed angrily open.

Blinking, Neo lifted her head. She caught the lingering scents of jungle juice and sweat incoming, before she saw Emerald stalking inside, barely hanging onto her last scrap of patience. Mercury stumbled in after her, wearing a huge grin and mirrored shades that Neo was fairly certain did not belong to him.

Cinder smirked. “I was wondering when you two would be back. How did it go?”

Emerald forced a halfway convincing smile for her leader. “It was...interesting. Though not quite as informative as I was h—”

The smile froze on her face when she turned to look directly at Cinder, and saw Neo lounging in her lap like a spoiled cat.

Neo smirked, and signed, Party fun? With the reputation Vytal Festival house parties had, hopefully Emerald had gotten some attention as well.

“Oh, it was great!” Mercury shrugged off his jacket and pitched it into his and Emerald’s room, littering their carpet with brownie crumbs. “We saw a lot of everybody, didn’t we, Emmy?”

While Emerald tried to take a cue from Cinder and set him on fire with her eyes, Cinder herself just closed her Scroll with a soft laugh.

“Well, you can tell us all about it in the morning. We should all get some rest now.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“You got it, boss...”

Neo watched them slink into their room, where muffled bickering started up as soon as the door closed, but did not move until she felt a gentle pat on her thigh.

“You too, dear. Go on.”

Though she made a show of huffing about it, Neo got up off Cinder’s bed and went back across the room.

Her own bed felt cold and uninviting now. Catching up on the several missed texts from Roman (including but not limited to what do you mean by that lmao, hey Neo dont leave me out of the loop :), Neo tf are you doing to her O_o, NEO) did make her smile, but as she drifted off to sleep, she couldn’t help but wish that she didn’t have to return to being alone just yet.

~0~

This was not at all the solution to that problem that she had envisioned, but Neo knew very well how to deal with whatever life threw at her.

She had never been to Atlas, and while she had to roll her eyes at its decadence, she couldn’t say she hated the place. Cinder, on the other hand, never answered outright when Neo tried to ask if she had ever been here before, but every bitter hiss from her about Atlas elites that had not been asked for gave her a general idea. It had taken them a while to find a vacant apartment to squat in, especially considering that there was an entire chunk of the city that Cinder refused to even go near.

But now here they were, and it was empty around them and quiet outside. The blackout curtains shielded them from the city lights. In pitch darkness the two of them were curled up together in the place’s one bed.

Cinder had initially balked at the idea of sharing it, insisting that Neo take an extra blanket and find somewhere else to curl up. So barky with her orders these days, and so on edge, too. Neo was beginning to wonder how she had ever thought of this woman as calm and collected.

In any case, she didn’t see what her once-again partner’s problem was. She had invited Neo into her bed with her before, hadn’t she? Maybe not to sleep, but still. And she was far from squeamish; she wouldn’t make a fuss about the scarring and empty eye socket on full display. As such, she ignored the demand, and simply undressed, got under the covers, and gestured for Cinder to join her.

After some indignant spluttering, Cinder threw up her hands and stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. She didn’t come out until Neo had turned the lights off and laid there long enough that she might reasonably have fallen asleep. Even then, she slipped in quietly, gingerly, and stuck close to the edge of the bed.

Now, that just would not do. Atlas was much too cold for that kind of nonsense.

Neo rolled over under the blankets, feeling just as bold as last time, but exercising even more care, Cinder being so volatile lately. She went out of her way to be heard, so it wouldn’t startle Cinder to be touched. She knew her bedmate was awake: though she lay very still, her breathing was nowhere near relaxed enough for her to be asleep.

Cinder didn’t jump when she felt Neo wrap her arms around her waist, but she did go still as a statue.

“Neo,” she growled, low in her throat, “what are you doing? I’m not in the mood for—”

Neo nuzzled her bare shoulder in a way she hoped was reassuring, as she pressed up against her back. Fortunately for her, Cinder’s new arm was tightly bandaged up for the night, so she didn’t have to risk touching the awful thing. Only human skin, just as fiery warm as before. Even the wood smoke smell remained.

As had happened so often since the Fall of Beacon, Neo caught herself writing a text to Roman in her head, wryly telling him that he was right, she shouldn’t have thought so hard about where Cinder’s flames came from, because she would never in a million years have hit on the right answer.

She gave her head a shake, and resisted the urge to glance back at the bowler hat perched neatly on a bedpost. If she started thinking too hard about that, she would never get to sleep either. There would be time, when the sun came up, to consider some more whether the woman in her arms was the key to her revenge, or its target all along.

Right now, the darkness was peaceful and the blankets thick and soft around them, and the heat of their bodies grew more soporific every moment. Comfort was a rarity in both of their lives. They ought to savor it whenever it came their way.

Cinder let out a long, exasperated huff, clearly not sharing the opinion.

“Couldn’t you just hug a pillow?” she grumbled. But there was no bite in her voice.

Neo smiled against her skin, entwining her legs with Cinder’s. Now, she would have said, were her hands not occupied, where would be the fun in that?

“...Fine. Just don’t think you’re going to make this a regular thing.”

Oh, she absolutely was, so long as they were staying in the coldest part of the world and she was in the company of a walking space heater.

As such, Neo ignored the question and snuggled closer. She was trying her best to communicate “calm down and go to sleep” through body language alone, so to feel Cinder slowly but surely relaxing in her arms, eventually going limp, was deeply gratifying. Almost fascinating.

From nights spent in the Beacon dorm room and Mistrali inns, Neo already knew that Cinder talked in her sleep. Most of what she said was sluggish and toneless as well as nonsensical, but sometimes it was a series of fierce snaps or pained moans. It came as no surprise to Neo that when, just as she was starting to doze off herself, she was woken back up by her partner’s twitching and yelping.

“No...don’t take...I’m...!”

Neo sighed drowsily, and tightened her embrace, humming as soothingly as she could. Her inability to speak never really bothered her, but there were times like this when it didn’t exactly help her, either. At least she could keep Cinder from thrashing around and hurting one of them: if that arm decided to act up while its host was in distress, she had zero faith in the bandages to hold those claws back.

It’s okay, she thought, hoping that somehow it would get across, just relax, you’re all right...

Nightmares never lasted forever. Neo had woken with her stomach still in free fall from enough dreams of plummeting wildly through a Grimm-infested sky to know that. Still, she hoped that her attempts at calming had helped this one pass quickly. Cinder’s mumbling devolved into moans, then to frantic whimpers, then finally to something close to the restful breathing that Neo had almost fallen asleep to before.

Neo took a deep breath of her own. She was too tired to smile, but leaned in to press a kiss to the back of Cinder’s neck, the ends of her short hair tickling her nose. To her surprise, she felt a burn scar here, too: thin and faded, but winding around her neck like garrote wire. Somehow she didn't think that Ruby had done this. But she certainly wasn't going to ask who had. They weren't going to discuss any part of this in the morning.

So she kissed her neck once more, soft and just a bit more sincere, before closing her eyes again.

Good night.

The Girl He Broke Doctor Who X Reader (11 &10)

Y/N POV

I walked off the TARDIS and looked around and saw a neighborhood, red brick walls lining every yard.

"Just down the block there should be a girl named Martha, she'll help you with your arm." after the instructions the doctor gave me, Amy and him ran off toward some ice cream stand. I roll my eyes at the childfull personality that man can have.

I follow his orders and end up on a street wherein the distance I can see the TARDIS. I walk briskly down the road not paying any mind to the soccer ball that almost hit me by a group of kids playing in a yard.

I open the doors with my right hand that hasn't left my left arm for thousands of years in the future. god, that'll take some getting used to saying that.

"Haha, very funny." I closed the door by leaning back on it eyes closed, "parking a block," I stop talking as I see the man from years passed. same look in his eyes and as surprised as I am. "Sorry," I said embarrassed, walking to the console.

"Don't be," he said. "But one question, why are you here?"

"You told me to come here" I returned my hand to my arm, not liking how gravity was pushing it down. "You said you have a friend, that can help me with my arm." I looked at him for any remembrance but his face showed none.

the door opens behind me, I see a woman there, flat dark brown hair, wearing a red leather jacket, brown skin. she looks surprised to see me. "Hello!" I say with a big smile on my face. "I'm (Y/N) I traveled with the doctor it seems." my smile still on my face. I look back at him. "What happened to me anyway?" I ask him and cock head to the side.

"Nothing. you haven't traveled with me yet," he said knowingly

"Oh! then I’m sorry."

"No, no it's fine. but Martha and I are about to head off, isn't that right? The open road. There is a burst of Starfire right now over the coast of Meta Sigmafolio. Oh, the sky is like oil on water. Fancy a look? Or back in time. We could, I don't know, Charles the Second? Henry the Eighth. I know. What about Agatha Christie? I'd love to meet Agatha Christie. I bet she's brilliant." his goofy gin soon disappeared when he looked at Martha apparently. "Okay," he said flatly.

"I just can't."

"Yeah."

"Spent all these years training to be a doctor. Now I've got people to look after. They saw half the planet slaughtered and they're devastated. I can't leave them."

"Of course not. Thank you. Martha Jones, you saved the world."

"Yes, I did. I spent a lot of time with you thinking I was second best, but you know what? I am good. You going to be all right?"

"Always. Yeah."

"Right then. Bye."Martha left and the doctor propped his feet up on the console when he took a seat on the chair.

"If you want help you should leave now." just as he finished the comment Martha came back in. he jumped off the chair and looked at her.

"Because the thing is, it's like my friend Vicky. She lived with this bloke, student housing, there were five of them all packed in, and this bloke was called Sean. And she loved him. She did. She completely adored him. Spent all day long talking about him." she made her way from the doors to in front of the doctor.

"Is this going anywhere?" he asked. I stifled a laugh at his comment

"Yes. Because he never looked at her twice. I mean, he liked her, but that was it. And she wasted years pining after him. Years of her life. Because while he was around, she never looked at anyone else. And I told her, I always said to her, time and time again, I said, get out. So this is me, getting out."

"You fancy him too?" I asked jokingly. she smiled at me. she throws a mobile at him and he catches it.

"Keep that, because I'm not having you disappear. If that rings, when that rings, you'd better come running. Got it?"

"Got it."

"and don't go traveling alone, travel with her. just don't hurt her. she's a special one." she says with a wink as she walked back to the doors.

"Martha," he replied sternly

"I know I know, I'll see you again, mister." she waved off and left.

"You better go catch her before she leaves."

"If I do that you'll leave me again." I looked at him

"If you come with, my future self won't know where you are."

"Time machine right?" I ask with a smart ass tone.

"You can't come with."

"Why not?"

"Because I still need you. if you come with you would have never been here."

“Is this a way of saying you don’t want me around?” i asked in, yet again, another smart a$$ tone. He let out a heavy sigh as he grabed onto the railing around the console, his knuckles turning white.

“YES!” he shouted at me, i could see the pain in his eyes, almost like he was on the brink of tears. i paused

"Fine. I'll go," I responded after a while of silence. I wouldn’t let his little outburst ruin my day though. "But don't think that this is the last time we'll meet. you owe me a trip now." I make my way to the doors

"I owe a lot of people trips, and I don't remember half of the list. so, why do you think that ill remember you?"

"Like Martha said. I’m special" I closed the door behind me, and saw Martha heading back to her door. "Wait! Martha!" I shout to gain attention luckily she turns around.

"You're not going with?"

"No. I have my own doctor anyway."

"Right. now I remember." she sighed in remembrance

"Remember what." she paused before answering like she didn't know if she should answer or not or maybe like she didn't know-how.

"You mentioned it on the Tardis." she finally said

"Right." I say "But my shoulder. he said you could help."

"Right." she grabs my shoulder and pushes it back in the socket without warning. a squeak escaped my mouth. "Sorry, didn't warn you."

"Yeah." I hold back my tears but my voice creaks. "Thank you nonetheless."

"Of course. tell the doctor I said hi" and with that, she went into her house. with a sigh, I made my way back down the street but stopped halfway down because my mobile started to ring. looking at the name I answer.

"Hi, Amy." I tried to say but was rudely interrupted halfway through by the doctor.

"So sorry (Y/N), but something came up. I might not be there when you are there. just wait for 5 minutes I swear." after that, he hangs up. I don't know whether to be mad or feel as though I saw this coming. when I get to the spot that the doctor had dropped me off at I sit on the curb and wait.

it's not that bad. Amy waited for 14 years, the least I could do was wait for 5 minutes. when I lean on the grass I felt something on the ground. I grabbed and looked at it. it was my watch!

I held it close to my chest. "Thank god I found you," I whisper to myself. continuing to wait.

The story is currently on pause and will continue on my main account around December 2021 and/or January 2022

7 Beauty Tips To Fight The Summer Heat Wave In 2021

With the scorching summer nearing us, we tell you beauty tips to follow to beat the heat

These basic lifestyle changes are a must for the summer season; Image Credit: Pexels

While summer loving is a time to unwind and get your bright colourful dresses on display, it is in fact the heat which crushes all dreams and hopes for the season. During the scorching Indian summer, we are all at the mercy of air conditioners as the sun sucks the life out of us and creates trouble with body hydration, beautiful skin and flawless hair. Unlike any weather, summer demands for special treatment for your hair and skin and even though all we've probably told you yet is the bad news, we've got some good news too. Get prepped beforehand as we tell you some of the best beauty tips you can follow for the upcoming summer season.

7 Beauty Tips To Follow To Look After Your Skin And Hair

These simple changes in your beauty regime will completely transform you from being a hot mess this summer.

1. Hydrate! Hydrate!

You've probably heard this before and you're going to hear it from us yet again. The cheapest and easiest way to keep yourself hydrated is by consuming ample amounts of water on a daily basis. Not only does it cools your system but cleanses it as well. Do the math then - if you're clean on the inside, you're most definitely clean on the outside. The good old H2O does wonders for your skin to naturally give you a glowing sheen all throughout the year. Give your skin and hair that added boost of hydration with products with ingredients such as ceramide, aqua and glycerine and don't forget your regular hair oil massages.

2. Don't Go Away From Sunscreen

Unlike the first point, this obvious second is what we've heard many times but are always neglecting it. We can't stress this any further but do not leave your house without sunscreen, ladies! Direct sunlight on the skin cause sunburns, pigmentation and dark spots, everything we absolutely hate to have on our skin. Choose the correct formula depending on your skin; a gel formula for oily skin types will give a mattifying look while a moisturising formula will leave your dry skin dewy all while protecting it.

Choose a sunscreen based on your skin type for flawless skin; Image Credit: Pexels

3. Use Waterproof And Lightweight Makeup

Nobody loves oil creasing eyelids or an oily foundation that melts on the skin. Choose lightweight makeup formulas for a summer-friendly look without working about your makeup running all over. Ditch your liquid foundations for a powder based one or better still a lightweight BB cream for a fresh dewy look. Use waterproof mascaras to avoid panda eyes, lip and cheek stains for the usual blushes that will allow your skin to breathe too while working its magic.

4. Avoid Overheating Your Hair

We get it, you just got a haircut recently, it looks on fleek, you want to show it off. We get it. However, no matter how perfect your luscious locks are after your blow dry, all you're doing is draining your hair off of its natural oils leaving them dry and lifeless. Make way for heatless curls or natural waves this season and keep the moisture locked in with natural serums for that perfectly shiny hair. Instead experiment with different hairstyles for all lengths of hair to keep the style quotient high but minus the damage.

5. Follow The Basic Cleanse, Tone, Moisturise Routine

Our pores tend to enlarge during the summer months as a means for the skin to breathe easily. What this usually results in is excessive sweat and dirt clogging the pores leading to blackheads and breakouts. The simple cleanse, tone and moisturise beauty routine isn't just the most basic way to look after your skin but also the most effective. Based on your skin type, use a gentle cleanser, toner and moisturiser and follow it up with a mild exfoliator once a week to get rid of dry cells forming on the surface of your skin.

Cleansing, toning and moisturising is essential all throughout the year; Image Credit: Pexels

6. Choose Natural Products

Even though over-the-counter products are easier to access and lest we forget cheaper to join the beauty and skincare bandwagon, it is always good to understand the ingredients going inside it. Some trends may seem tempting to try but aren't always effective for your skin. Herbal products are always better alternatives like pure rosewater to the easily available drugstore variants. Even better are products that can be easily found in your own kitchen pantry that can work wonders for your skin.

7. Dare To Go Bare

This is definitely easier said than done but for those who do dare, going bare is the greatest things you co do for your skin. Sweat and excessive pollution can clog your pores, leaving your skin with breakouts and dark spots and nobody has the time to deal with. By going sans makeup products on your skin, not only are you letting it breathe but you're also allowing yourself to soak in that Vitamin D naturally.
